Drunk off-duty cop attacks woman...

Terry Ekl must not have practiced law long in Chicago. That kind of CPD police behavior happens regularly. When it happens to people accused of crimes, people turn a blind eye.

CPD is the only one legally armed and they know it and will beat you senseless if they so feel like it.

I'll never forget when CPD tried to shake me down back in '93. Luckily I had been though it in New Orleans when I was a kid and knew what to do.

I wish I could say this is just one bad apple in a large departmental barrel. However, this is merely an example of something that happens with great frequency in Chicago.
 
If she did have a gun (if it wasnt PRIL) she would probably be charges for murder and be titled a "cop killer", even with the damn video :banghead: :cuss:


BTW, its nice to see the other men in the room helping out a female in distress...what a joke :fire:
 
One guy came to her aid, and he wasn't a whole bunch bigger than the bartender. That's a travesty of major proportions.

This cop not only needs to be fired, he needs to be charged with and convicted of attempted murder, and it's too bad that being an idiot with a testosterone overload isn't a felony. After conviction, he needs to be put in prison in general population so he gets a taste of what he dished out.

Totally inexuseable. And good money bets that he gets off with probation and a miniscule fine, MAYBE. :fire:
 
Five minutes in a windowless room with me is all I ask. Sorry if that aint very high road of me but people like this need to be treated as such.
 
In my location if you stomp someone who's on the ground it's generally considered to be deadly force.
 
That's absolutely appalling. Doesn't matter if it's a cop, politician, or a nun - that sort of behavior is disgusting. Will be interested to see what punishment (if any) is meted out by city/state justice system.
 
Umm guys, the police tell everyone to not get involved. The guy on the cell phone was doing exactly what the Police public service announcements stress. Ant time someone is robbed at an ATM the police stress that you should not resist. Every time a store owner defends himself there's an officer on the news that night telling everyone else not to do the same, that the owner was stupid to do so.

Don't get mad at good citizens for doing what the police tell them is right. Get mad at the police for spreading it!

Good for the woman for defending herself.

Police probably come out tomorrow and announce she should have played dead, and not tried to be a hero.
 
Back in early '96, National Public Radio did a segment about Illinois trying to pass its own version of the Lautenberg Amendment (before Lautenberg passed), forbidding those convicted of domestic violence from owning or possessing firearms.

Everything was smooth sailing until the Chicago Police Union discovered that police were NOT exempt. At that point, you'd think that somebody had started boiling Korans in bacon grease.

To make a long story short, one of their excuses for why cops should be exempt was that a cop who's convicted of beating his wife's or girlfriend's brains out could be trusted with a gun because he'd be closely supervised. The NPR ninny doing the interview never asked him the obvious question, "If you can supervise the cop who's battered his wife closely enough to ensure that he won't shoot her, why couldn't you supervise him closely enough to keep him from BEATING her???" The odds are that the union will back the officer in question to the hilt.

Clearly the Chicago PD can't supervise its officers well enough to keep them from beating even women with whom they DON'T have a relationship.

I'm from Chicago. I wouldn't for one instant tell the damnable lie that any of this surprises me at all.
 
To nip it in the bud - people who suggest that this is an example of the fallacy of giving too much power and authority to executive gov't are not a hate group. They are simply saying that there will always be bad people in every organization, and the nature of gov't should require that the possible harm they could do be considered to limit the power of all officers.
 
First thing i thought was omg nobody helping her.That piece of **** they call a cop needs a UFC fighter or someone trained in martial arts to kick the living crap out of him to see what it is like to be a victim.
 
I volunteer. I wonder if I can get my lead bat through airport security on a trip to Chicagoland.
 
I wonder what acts of daring-do a quick perusal of this individual's personnel file would disclose? I wonder what sort of swashbuckling heroism never made it into his official file?

But hey, it takes a brave man to stomp a woman on the ground...
 
That video was absolutely DISGUSTING

Sorry, it's not very "High Road" of me, but I agree with some of the other posters in that I wish I was there.
 
you know what......

makes me :barf:. is that if it had happened to some one who had legally had a gun with them and they pulled it on the cop and shot him in self defense they would have got in more trouble than the cop. and made to look like a psychopathic killer and/or a terrorist when the bigger news type people got hold of the story.
 
Jdoc you and I both know there are more threads than either of us have fingers, and what you're told by police officers who are members here, good men at that, is this:

You shall not resist any police during an encounter. If you are wronged, even if you know it is wrong at the time, the place to rectify it is in court, later.

...if you are still alive, and not intimidated into silence.
 
What I thought was interesting is that when he was picked up the second time, he was put in the back, no cuffs, no restraints, just a leisurely trip.

I'm betting if you or I did that, we'd be cuffed.
 
"I'll never forget when CPD tried to shake me down back in '93. Luckily I had been though it in New Orleans when I was a kid and knew what to do."

El Tejon, for those of us who have never been in such an unfortunate situation, (and hope to never be placed in such a situation) I respectfully request that you educate us as to what the proper response is when being shaken down by crooked police officers. I am attempting to imagine some course of action that will not end in either a.) my being arrested, b.) my being brutally beaten and/or c.) killed, and I am having great difficulty with this exercise. TIA.
 
Cop or not, the sight of a man beating a woman boils my blood. Domestic violence in my book, is the same as domestic terrorism. The guy didn't look like a beat cop, maybe he was undercover and playing out his role as a psychopathic alcoholic.
 
Well, It was obviously the bartenders fault for resisting to give him a beer.

All he wanted to do was to make it safely home to his wife and kids, after getting plastered after a hard day chasing scumbags, not unlike himself.(wonder if he drove there?)

It very well may have been a case of rookie-itis, he probably wasn't a big drinker and didn't know how it would affect him.;)
 
BAD COP

just a thought but if the local authorities do NOT act cant you get him under Federal statutes of violating her civil rights?It has been done before I believe.
