List of Chicago Police Officers with more than 10 complaints remains a secret

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
Records involving cops with more than 10 complaints against them will remain secret until a federal appeals court decides whether to make them public.

The city is trying to keep the potentially embarrassing documents under wraps. They include a list of 662 Chicago Police officers -- one of every 20 cops on the 13,200-member force -- with more than 10 civilian complaints lodged against them between 2001 and 2006.
Remember this is a town with a hand gun ban except for police.In Chicago, even this this man can operate for years on the force without much complaint.Where would corrupt cops in Chicago be without a hand gun ban?
