A Chicago police officer avoided jail time today for pummeling a woman who was tending bar, even though prosecutors produced a previously unseen video showing him beating someone else at the bar hours earlier.

Anthony Abbate was sentenced to two years probation for beating Karolina Obrycka in February of 2007. He could have gotten up to five years for the attack, which was captured by the bar's security camera and shown around the world.

Not just Chicago. Cops in America can get away with anything.

One of main the reasons they are so corrupt and violent.

“If I believed that sending Anthony Abbate to prison would stop people from getting drunk and hitting other people, I’d sentence him to the maximum,” Judge John Fleming said. “But I don’t believe that is the case.”

What a stupid a** judge. What better way to deter crimes such as this than send this corrupt idiot away behind bars. Where is justice? More Chicago way politics in the judicial system.

Judge John Fleming. Remember the name.

Sad and pathetic.

Obama Chicago Machine Basij thug.

No wonder Obama is orgasmic over the criminals who run Iran.

How is Obama’s Chicago Machine fundamentally different?

Judge John Fleming said he decided against jail because he did not believe the crime was serious enough ..."

YEP. Incredible; not serious enough??

Ditto! I hope every dime he's allowed to make for the next 10 years has to go to her! What a piece of filthy slime.

With one or maybe two rare exceptions, pigs is pigs.

Be they LEOs or thugs in black robes, they all slop from the same trough so they all watch each others backs.

Nothing but filth.

I really am not surprised. They protect each other. This is such a clear cut case of assault. No one should be able to walk away from this crime without doing some jail time.

“Chicago way ..........!”

Doubtless.

Sarah Palin needs only to flip 10% or so of the women’s vote to be a serious contender in 2012. If I were her, I’d give Obummer a day or two to respond, and if he didn’t, I’d loudly ask why this was business as usual in his home town.

"If I believed that sending Anthony Abbate to prison would stop people from getting drunk and hitting other people, I'd sentence him to the maximum," the judge said. "But I don't believe that is the case."

Yeah, right. Double standard BS. If any of us had done that, they'd lock us away and lose the key.

he did not believe the crime was serious enough and throwing Abbate behind bars would not be a deterrent to others.

It would deter him from beating up women, at least while he was in jail. It probably wouldn't deter drunken Chicago cops from beating people in bars and getting away with it.

He noted that Abbate had no prior criminal history

If you don't count the guy he beat earlier......and the other incidents that probably got covered up because there was no video.

Abbate had faced several charges, including intimidation, conspiracy and communicating with a witness and official misconduct.

A fine upstanding young man.

The police department is seeking to have Abbate fired,

Gotta love unions.

Without the badge and gun he will get his, sooner than you think, bully’s never learn.

“Not just Chicago. Cops in America can get away with anything. One of main the reasons they are so corrupt and violent.”

That’s bullshit...the crap they have to deal with every day, the murderers thugs and thieves, the ACLU and being hated by the thugs that are always hiding behind bullshit aggressive lawyers looking for an easy buck...God bless them, every oone...the percentage of stories you like this is so small in the number of inceidents they handle each day, it can hardly be measured...
