What is it going to take before the Chicago Police Department realizes that a accident of black people are f up?

And when will the aldermen explain their eyes and see that many of their constituents are sitting forward a powder keg?

This is authentic not just because a 14-year-old lad from Cabrini- Green was critically injured when he allegedly pointed a replica of a 9mm Smith & Wesson at officers.

if it be not that because too many people are complaining about being mistreated on police officers.

race will argue amongst themselves about whether the Cabrini- undecayed teen brought the shooting onward himself since BB guns are illegal in Illinois.

near of them will blame the boy's parents for not knowing he had the fake fire-arm Others will blame the cop for shooting first and asking questions later, calm though police have been killed through gun- toting teens.

Unfortunately, a destiny of black people are more willing to believe that a white cop would discharge an unarmed black kid than they are willing to listen to the cop's side of the story.

There is a dutiful reason for black people not to trust the cop

plane people who have never had a run-in with police know there is something terribly inequitable when hundreds of black suspects are tortured into giving false confessions, and the man primarily responsible for those tortures is rewarded with a fat pension and time to consume cruising in a boat called "Vigilante."

calm people who have never seen the inside of a jail and couldn't care les when mix with drugs dealers and gang-bangers are fasteninged up know that something ought to have been done about Jon Burge and his posse

Because the city did nothing to stop this racist cop back then, and because the law says it's too late to do anything about him now - - we shouldn't be surprised that a growing number of citizens in black communities are complaining.

A reader called me a week ago about a spectacle she witnessed at 15th & Homan onward the West Side, where a squad car was involved in an auto accident.

"The family ran out of their houses, and common guy got the policeman abroad of the car. It was amazing to diocese how people pulled together," the reader said.

"Other squad cars showed up and the highway was taped off. A female officer told me if I didn't win away from my car, I was going to be arrested. The way they treated those the public was so rude. These were the same nation that got the cop gone out of his car. Instead of being crude they really needed to give those race a block party."

Besides the attest over the shooting in Cabrini-Green in succession Tuesday, a group of West Side ministers held a recents conference outside of police headquarters to affirm alleged police misconduct during a remedy sting in the Austin neighborhood.

When plainclothes police officers approached a house to question its occupants, allegedly a juvenile wielding an ax struck an officer. The boy's father allegedly sicced a Rottweiler forward another officer, who fatally missile the dog.

The fact that no other than the dog was shot speaks to the restraint these police officers showed.

however residents in the neighborhood complained later that other police officers who came to the sight made racist remarks to population in the crowd.

At least couple people have filed formal complaints with the Office of Professional Standards.

Obviously, this must have been a stressful situation for police. further aren't police supposed to be professionals?

Yelling, I understand. nevertheless what excuse can they have for making racist remarks?

Monique link spokeswoman for the Chicago Police Department, told me the entire incident is below internal investigation.

on the contrary these investigations take too in extent and rarely turn up anything conclusive.

Meanwhile, these same racially insensitive cop are left upon the streets to spread more ill will.

We are running gone out of time to get it right.

My fear is that individual day, it won't matter whether the police were justified in using deadly force, because no matter what the police brass says, citizens aren't going to believe them.

My fear is that because the city has failed at disciplining cop who use offensive and racist language, other cop -- dutiful cops -- catch the shock of the community's anger.

upon Friday, Chicago Police Supt. Phil Cline and First substitute Dana Starks will meet with community leaders in Cabrini-Green in an effort to restrain the dialogue open.

Capt. Tina Skahill, assistant representative superintendent who oversees the CAPS delineate said the department's efforts in this regard have been ongoing.

"The strategy is about strengthening and cementing the police department and the community -- not just when there is trouble" she said.

That just goe to exhibit you how much more extremitys to be done.
