It is these judicial indifferences that seem to keep the influences ither in a halt or misguided perspective for future shifts in humanity, coming forth our administration's are to insure the fairness of it's citizens,the equalities of a nation is most detrimental for its recover

Yet no indignation or “activism” when criminals are let go hours after committing heinous crimes…

I wish was this worried about the 8 year old girl killed in Little Village! Are you going to give us weeks of warnings when her murderers are released?

if he was darkskin he'll be doing 85% of his time but u did'nt hear that from me lol

Shut up the guy did his time.... Let it go reflect inward and understand your community destroyed the city not a white cop in jail

So…he’s getting treated like everyone else in Illinois and people are mad. They weren’t mad when Laquan was high committing felonies and swinging a knife at cops.

Just like most other criminals tried and convicted in Cook County..Thanks Kim Fox!

Oxymorons

WHO CARES?!?!

I learned the other day that it’s standard in Illinois to halve a sentence for good behavior. Y’all make it sound like that’s not the way this works.

The police officer should have never been in prison in the first place. Put down the knife animal

He served his time and is getting out. Most guilty people in chicago get no time at all.

Let him go ? I guess so he will fit in with the rest of the bullshit in Chicago. Probably won’t even notice he’s out

Good for him

Isn’t that what happens in cook county? I mean how many murders are out of prison?

Wow,straight up murder and now he’s got the rest of his life to live I know guy’s got arrested with a little pot done more time than this guy,what a system

The only reason this is news is because he was a cop. This shit happens all the time with gangbangers and no one says a peep
