Will Chicago Police Union Stop Honoring White Racist Rogue Cop?

Neil Steinberg of the Chicago Sun-Times reports:

Does former Chicago Police Cmdr. Jon Burge finally being arrested mean that the Fraternal Order of Police will once again try to sponsor a float honoring him in the South Side St. Patrick's Day Parade?

For those with short memories, Burge and four fellow officers were fired or suspended in 1993 for suspicion of torturing suspects -- bad guys all, I'm sure, but if our society allows cops to clamp typewriter covers over the faces of those they believe have done something wrong, well, it looks bad.

The float was to be called "Travesties of Justice," and Burge and his four fellow officers were invited to sit aboard it, waving at the crowd.

What a sight that would have been. Alas, parade organizers found this overly political, and asked the FOP -- whose board had approved the float, 27-0 -- to withdraw from the parade.

"We're disappointed," said the FOP's then-president, John Dineen. "We were just supporting our fellow officers, who we believe got a raw deal."

A true Chicago Democratic happening.It's amazing these white Democrats(everyone on the City of Chicago payroll is a Democrat)think nothing of torturing citizens.Remember,Chicago has a handgun ban for honest citizens.
