Red-Light Cameras Not So Special?
Mayor Daley has voiced his support for Chicago Police Superintendent Jody Weis' decision to rebuke an order from a judge to turn over a list of police officers who have had five or more citizen complaints filed against them since 2000. Weis was to turn the list over to the court as part of a lawsuit against the city accusing a police officer of using excessive force and making a false arrest. Weis refused, saying that handing the list over would, "compromise officers’ performance, threaten safety, reduce morale and improperly impugn many officers’ otherwise well-deserved good reputations.” Today, Mayor Daley said, “They have been thoroughly reviewed. Those people should not come under scrutiny of any lawyer…These are public servants. I believe [Weis] is doing the right thing.”

Q: Who made the following statement:
"Those people should not come under scrutiny of any lawyer... These are public servants."
a) Kim Jong-il
b) Vladamir Putin
c) Chicago's Mayor Richard M. Daley
d) All of the above
Yes, we all know that the people who will sue those police officers, the city, the state, the taxpayer's money are of the purest intentions. And I'm sure later we will also find out that they weren't even doing anything illegal that would require police in the first place!
I don't know, they HAVE been reviewed by the Chicago PD, and not saying that the CPD are perfect, but do you really believe the same caliber investigation was performed by CPD as with Kim Jong-il and in Vladamir Putin's Russia? Wait, maybe I shouldn't ask that question...
Not the same, but similar. That's why it's multiple choice.
Weis should be in jail for contempt of court.
