The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
In 17 years as a Chicago cop, Richard A. Rizzo has been investigated 29 times over accusations he violated police department rules.Yet, most Chicago voters prefer only Chicago police officers owning handguns!
He’s been suspended seven times — for a total of 52 days — and has three additional disciplinary cases still pending.
He’s been arrested four times — by his own department — on charges that include domestic battery, child endangerment and aggravated assault with a gun, with Cook County prosecutors dropping the charges each time.
And he’s been pulled off the street and stripped of his police powers twice in the past three years.
