CRY!

A former Chicago police officer convicted of second-degree murder in the killing of an African-American teenager he shot 16 times received a dose of prison justice just days after Illinois prosecutors moved to seek a harsher sentence for him, his wife said Thursday.
Jason Van Dyke was allegedly beaten by inmates at a federal prison in Danbury, Connecticut, where he was secretly moved to last week, his wife and his attorneys said during a news conference in Chicago.

State charges so the President can't pardon him but he's currently in a Federal prison. The administration must take steps to keep him safe there and investigate and if necessary punish any prison officials that let this happen. It makes me sick this man is imprisoned for shooting a PCP freak who came at him with a knife. The world is a better place without Laquan "you'd think he walked around in a cap and gown" McDonald and Chicago streets are less safe without Officer Van Dyke.

Thanks Impy.
I may have hit on something.
I disagree with that theory. The officers are taught to be a bunch of tattle tails, and tell on each other. Many staff (not all) may not even know who the guy is, but as you say, if people deliberately let the guy get assaulted or killed, they face serious problems. The best thing might be loss of job and pension. The worst thing, is they might end up being inmates themselves. The chances of a big conspiracy, to “get” this guy, are slim. There are just too many people watching. All it would take, would be one staff member, to spill the beans, and the whole conspiracy comes crashing down.
In the joints I was in, there are plenty of places, where the inmates can “do” someone, without being seen.
It sounds like this guy may have been railroaded, and sacrificed on the altar of PC. Too bad.
I grew up there. A badge is the equivalent of a hunting license. An Illinois DA needs all the LEOs on his side he can get.
(Yes, I'm biased. I've bought two cops, an alderman and a traffic court judge, in Chicago.)
“...received a dose of prison justice...”
Press are scum.
The consequences and participants are tragedies that linger 24/7/52 until death. That kid’s Mom, the cop and his wife, that guy who founded the successful tech co.and was booted for PC, even that Chik-fil-et guy.. maybe he’s paid enough? Even Monica Blewklinski.. her life was taken. (We’re all flawed.)
I do not go for this destroying stuff.
“...received a dose of prison justice...”

Ditto
Just wait till we see FBI agent convicts in prison. They would have an even shorter half life.
Sniveling @-hole.
I was just scanning the thread to see if anyone else pointed this out!
Stinking “journalists” at their finest. Terry should have said “Litchfield” so their readers could imagine a special episode of “orange is the new black”
Many full size 9mm have standard magazine capacities between 15 and 17, some as high as 20. Glock 17, a know standard among LEO/Military personnel is 17. As the old saying goes, shoot’em till they drop!
It’s amazing how many people behaved badly in this one case:
Laquan McDonald (the “victim”) was reported to police as breaking into cars and holding a knife, and he used that knife to damage the tires and windshield of a responding police car before ignoring police commands.
Officer Jason Van Dyke shot the thug once while the thug was still holding the knife but moving away, and then shot that loser fifteen more times (nine of them in the back) while the criminal was on the ground.
Multiple police reports backed up the shooting, with variants of “the thug lunged with the knife”.
Three of the five police videos of the shooting are missing (and the released video is missing the audio that should have been recorded), and the Burger King video of that evening has a gap when the shooting occurred in front of their restaurant.
And of course, the professional racists on the left had a field day with this case. I doubt that they knew (or cared) just how far this cop had gone over the line.
I could go on, but the bottom line is there are no good guys on either side. And now our prison system isn’t doing its job - they are not warehousing that bad cop safely.
Thanks. It sounds like you have synthesized things pretty well.
when one is in state or federal custody, the state and federals are responsible for safety.
Or else we turn into a hellhole
all the jerks here who think that “prison justice” is a good thing need to rethink that proposal.
Know a man who was stopped after a concert, three states away from home, He had a minor infraction, Possession of a small amount of marijuana, and was jailed for arraignment after the weekend. (It was a Fish concert and the cops were shooting fish in a barrel and filling their coffers)
Raped repeatedly over that weekend this young man was traumatized for the rest of his life.
Prison justice BAH.
In our current environment ANYONE here can be arrested and detained. Know that.
I understand what you’re saying but Jeffery Daumer got his justice in jail.
That’s a really sad story; a co-worker had a brother die of AIDS after being raped in prison. Unimaginable...
I don't know all the facts but if the perp was shot 9 times in the back when he was on the ground, it's overkill (pun intended). I'm guessing that Officer Van Dyke's adrenaline got the best of him.
On a personal note - I'm respectful toward police but not because I like or trust them. People have been framed, beaten and killed by cops - with impunity. I wouldn't trust a cop as far as I can spit.
