Chicago Police Liable for Waitress Assult Coverup

Courthouse News Service reports:

A waitress viciously beaten by a Chicago cop on camera convinced a federal judge to uphold her claim that the police department orchestrated a coverup.

Anthony Abbate Jr., an off-duty Chicago police officer, brutally attacked Karolina Obrycka in 2007, while she was bartending at Jesse's Shortstop Inn.

After Abbate drank heavily all night, repeatedly flexed his biceps and yelled "Chicago Police Department," Obrycka refused to serve Abbate more alcohol. Abbate then went behind the bar and began punching and kicking her, allegedly telling Obrycka that "nobody tells me what to do."

Video cameras in the bar caught the entire altercation.

Just a reminder: if Chicago voters and politicians had their way only police officers would have guns. We hear from Chicago voters that handgun ownership is dangerous, it sure is when police have a monopoly.
