Short Burst Series- Police Brutality

More police brutality in the news, today, it seems.

According to the Chicago Sun-Times, the beleaguered Chicago Police Superintendent, Jody Weis, was given a vote of "no confidence" by almost 200 out of 11,000 cops under the rank of sergeant. A small, but mighty number to be sure.

The paper said morale was low and implied that perhaps he won't last more than a year on the job.

Ouch.

Brutal.

So it goes...

Police Brutality- continued

Another person was killed by police, yesterday. During a traffic stop.

I don't know any of the facts, except for what I read in today's Sun-Times. I wouldn't be surprised if the kid's mom was arrested, too, just for birthing him.

Why does this only (ok, usually) happen on the south side of our town?

So it goes...
