Rahm Emanuel Seeks to Set Aside Verdict Involving Brutal Beating by Chicago Cop of Female Bartender

But it seems he may be doing *more* harm in his current role.

I find him as detestable as my own "top ten Republics".

Notice there are 2 men just sitting/standing there watching as he beats her up.

... they are cowardly scum, but what is a worse crime, is how the rest of the Chicago Police Dept are shielding this PIG and the piece of shit mayor is protecting the PIG from justice.

protected from the start. I find it sad that he felt secure enough to beat her up in the first place. from the 2 guys watching, to the police officer who took the initial report. To his friends trying to intiminate the victim. I hope she takes her settlement and gets the hell out of there. From the police department on up, I don't think she can rely on any "protect and serve" if she ever has to call 911 again.

A little more background on the story at the link:

this piece of shit needs to be locked up FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope you all burn in hell.

...a police officer I have no doubt he would have seen some major time in the Big House.

I am pleased with the following quote from the linked article:

The city, which has previously argued that the Abbate case was a “unique case” that came before substantial reforms to police discipline, has until Dec. 17 to respond.

It has agreed to pay Obrycka the $850,000 the jury awarded her by the end of the month, regardless of which way the judge rules.

that the City of Chicago has merely proposed to pay with certain attached conditions. Notwithstanding the language, the City of Chicago has not "agreed to pay."

As observed by one of the jurors, "the proposal is still another attempt to keep the 'code of silence' in place ..."

The details of the proposal haven't been released but it is likely that the City of Chicago is threatening to take an appeal unless certain conditions are met.

It's possible that the City of Chicago, as corporate defendants have done in other cases, is demanding, as a condition of the proposed settlement, that the attorney who had the skill and tenacity to pursue the lawsuit not accept other clients and represent them in similar blue-wall-of-silence cases. It is possible that the City of Chicago is demanding that victim and her attorney not cooperate with other Chicago police victims and their attorneys.

If the City of Chicago truly "agreed to pay" in an unconditional manner, it would appear that there would be no justiciable issue. I.e., there would be nothing for the Court to rule on.

The City has dropped the appeal of the verdict amount, and is focusing on the finding "code of silence." This is smart, since 850k is small potatoes compared to the liability the finding "code of silence" will bring.

swept under the rug.

In this case he apparently lied about the victim also, claiming he was 'defending himself'. And his buddies lied about why they did not include his name in their report:



Right, video is 'speculation' along with his actual name.

Everyone not a cop is guilty of a crime, you just haven't been caught yet.

She was asking for it.

That video was faked.

It was a drug deal gone bad, the heroic police officer was working undercover.

Police are never drunk, never beat their wives and kids, never lie, never abuse their authority, and are never raging assholes with major personality and psychological flaws.

Thank God they keep us safe from the bad guys.




We just aren't sure who the bad guys are anymore.

Being an overweight drunk with rage issues puts enormous stress on your heart.

If I was him, I'd sue that tiny woman for forcing me to beat the crap out of her.

She could have given him a heart attack.

Former Chicago Police Supt. Richard Brzeczek, who was the city’s top cop in the 1980s, says he’s not surprised the jury bought into the conspiracy theory.

“The practice of the code of silence in the Chicago Police Department is at epidemic levels,” he tells CBS 2’s Mike Parker.

He predicts the police officials implicated in a cover-up will not suffer professionally.

“Nothing will happen,” Brzeczek, now a defense attorney, says.

and fuck tha police.

and nothing is ever allowed to be done about it. The only thing that makes this stand out is the media didn't have anything else to talk about that day.

Unfortunately the people of Chicago, or at least enough of them, like it this way.

Investigate Rahm? Why, with such damning evidence as this video tape, and the future liabilities of a court declaring the city had 'a blue wall of silence', why would he try to sweep this away? What and how does it benefit him to make it go away?

ballerina will not be inhibited when using violence to satisfy the needs of him and the other politicians who run the City of Chicago.



Chicago politicians like to have a reputation of being tough. Neither he nor the other Chicago politicians have a reputation for being opposed to unnecessary and excessive violence.
