Teen says cop beat himChicago Tribune: "A Chicago police officer has been charged with aggravated battery after breaking the jaw of a 15-year-old boy who had quarreled with his son, law-enforcement officials said Sunday.
Robert Gallegos, 41, showed little reaction Sunday afternoon as Cook County Judge Israel Desierto ordered him held in lieu of $100,000 bail. Gallegos' teenage son was involved in a quarrel Wednesday with a fellow student at Juarez High School, and the officer, who was off duty, attacked him in an alley in Pilsen later the same day, according to a statement from the Chicago Police Department's Office of Professional Standards."
The incident was reported to police Thursday, according to the statement. Gallegos was arrested Saturday evening at his home in the 1100 block of West 19th Place, according to court records.
In addition to the broken jaw, the teen also sustained bruises, according to officials. read more
This man should never carry a gun or wear a badge ever again. Yet more abuse of power in the CPD, which many can see is nothing new here, as most around the world are now aware after the latest string of fine news coming from some of the officers wearing that uniform. I'm sure no one has yet forgotten about this member of Chicago's finest, our famous woman bartender beating drunk awaiting trial for his "transgression" as the department and his lawyer so flippantly referred to it as.
Or let's not forget about these cops, charged recently for beating 5 businessmen at another bar in the area after a night of drinking. Instead of the police having video cams maybe we need 'em installed on our cars instead, at least in the city. I hope not.
