Chicago's top cop defies judges in abuse suit

The AP reports:

Chicago's top police official is defying orders from two federal judges to turn over lists of officers who have repeated complaints filed against them by the public, saying it would unfairly inflict harm on some members of the force.

Turning over the lists would brand officers as "repeaters," even though complaints against them may not have been resolved, Superintendent Jody Weis told the court in a civil lawsuit filed by a Chicago woman.

It also "will reduce morale and cause officers to hesitate to act in life and death emergencies, when action is necessary and appropriate to protect the officer, his or her partner and citizens," Weis said.

Do you think it's wise to only let police officers own guns in a city like Chicago?
