Chicago Police suspended several officers captured on video during last summer's widespread unrest who were lounging — and apparently even sleeping — inside a burglarized congressional campaign office as people citywide vandalized and stole from businesses, a police union official said Thursday.
Chicago Police suspended several officers captured on video during last summer's widespread unrest who were lounging — and apparently even sleeping — inside a burglarized congressional campaign office as people citywide vandalized and stole from businesses, a police union official said Thursday.
Chicago Police suspended 17 cops captured on surveillance video lounging inside a burglarized campaign office of a Democrat congressman as people citywide vandalized and stole from businesses.
The cops are first shown entering the campaign office of Congressman Bobby Rush around 1am on June 1.
Several officers are seen making popcorn and napping in the office at differing times amid the widespread civil unrest last year.
Union contract rules allow the cops to appeal their suspensions, the Chicago Tribune reported.
Fraternal Order of Police President John Catanzara told the Chicago Sun-Times that the suspensions of 17 officers and supervisors ranged from one day to 20 days.
