The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
A former Chicago police officer working as an informant for federal investigators in a wide-ranging political corruption probe pleaded guilty Monday to charges he extorted a tow truck driver and sold firearms to a convicted felon.
A few bad apples on the Chicago police force?
He is the 11th Chicago police officer to be charged since 2008 in the federal “Operation Tow Scam.” Charges are still pending against an additional three officers.
Yet, most politicians and voters in Cook County feel safer with ONLY the police walking around with handguns!
