At the rate the Chicago Police Department is stripping police officers, more officers will be gunless & answering phones than on the streets - 2 Chicago police officers put on desk duty amid use-of-force investigation while apprehending and arresting an armed robbery suspect.... Good job officers, now all other officers DO NOTHING!
Two Chicago police officers have been stripped of police powers and placed on desk duty after department officials reviewed a dashcam video showing an armed robbery suspect being slammed to the ground during a 2011 arrest.
The Independent Police Review Authority is taking another look at the arrest at the request of newly appointed police Superintendent Eddie Johnson, department officials said. The Police Department released the video to the media late Friday.
Johnson examined the video as part of a review he is conducting on use-of-force incidents as he grapples with the city's policing crisis. Johnson is faced with the task of restoring public confidence in the department after the November release of a video showing a white officer fatally shooting 17-year-old Laquan McDonald.
The video shows the May 25, 2011, arrest of Tiffani Jacobs, 34, who was a suspect in a robbery. She had been shot by police just moments before officers stopped her Lincoln in the West Garfield Park neighborhood, according to police reports released Friday.
