First I’m a Deputy Sheriff, second I will cut a brother slack on a speeding violation, but never a DUI or especially a Vehicular Homicide. We don’t all have the Chicago mentality

I don’t know what happened here and or if this is accurate information to to make a determination if this is a good or bad call. What I don’t understand about all of the anti-cop people here is they have no problem disputing or scrutinizing the liberal media about other news stories, that is until an anti-police report comes up and they fall right into line with the liberal reporters version, go figure.......

One thing about a Sheriff, he is an elected official and is re-elected every four years and must maintain a public voter support and that means an honest approach to all matters, especially internal affairs.

A Police chief is not a publicly elected official and is appointed by a board of alderman who seem to continue a political appointment of a Police Chief’s career for years without the publics support or ability to make a change in the appointment of a new chief. Maybe all Police Chiefs should be placed on the ballot to help give them a little incentive to maintain an honest force.

Well for one thing, a liberal reporter talking about a conservative will always show a bias, that's politics, but unless you are arguing that all police officers are politicians your confusion is simple refusal to acknowledge that even liberal reporters get facts right most of the time, if there isn't a reason to inject political bias. Please feel free to explain where the liberal bias in a report such as this would be.

Interesting point you raise...why would you cut a “brother” slack for speeding?

I can't speak for others here, only myself. I have lived my entire life in the shadow of Chicago & it's corruption. There are a number of things I have seen first hand that would turn the stomach of a honest Police Officer.

All I will say is I have the greatest respect for Peace Officers. However, all I seem to encounter are Law Enforcement Officers. The change in title somehow forces a change in attitude that is not for the better.

LOL, no disrespect to your service, thanks, but have you heard of Tom Dart? Are you familiar with the history of the Cook County Sheriff's office?

There's your problem right there. Equal enforcement of the law.
