The [Wednesday] Papers"More city leaders and activists are deciding to reject an invitation from the mayor's office to attend the city's 29th Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Peace Breakfast," NBC Chicago reports. Bishop James Dukes will also not be attending, saying: "I don't think that it's time for us to have this Kumbaya breakfast without having a sit-down talk." The mayor has even lost one of his biggest campaign endorsers:
UPDATE 11:31 A.M.: Pfleger says he decided he wouldn't participate a year ago, not in response to current calls for boycotting the breakfast. Also adding:
* Here's the NBC Chicago report. - Cop Shop At his graduation ceremony from the police academy in March 2013, Robert Rialmo told the Tribune he didn't know what to expect with his first assignment on foot patrol in the Austin police district. See, it turns out the cop was quoted in a Trib article three years ago, so they give you the quotes. What they don't do is provide a link to the damn thing. Here. I've been doing this for 10 years. Christ. * There's apparently accompanying video of Rialmo, but it doesn't show up for me and the link for that alone has been moved. * Is it ethical to name the officer at this juncture? Generally I'm opposed to naming suspects before or until they are charged. However, in the case of Jason Van Dyke, for example, the Tribune learned last April that he had a history of citizen complaints. That's legit. Not sure we've learned anything useful about Rialmo here, though. - The Beachwood Radio Hour #70: What The Laquan McDonald E-Mails Really Show - CPD Systems Fail "But of 162 Chicago police officers with 10 or more misconduct complaints in the past four years, just one was enrolled in the department's program as of October, according to a Chicago Reporter analysis of data obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request." Sometimes the systems are in place, but the will is not. "Overall, there were just 11 officers enrolled in CPD's two primary early intervention programs, out of more than 12,000 sworn officers in the department - the nation's second-largest law enforcement agency. "Those numbers defy belief," said Samuel Walker, an emeritus professor at the University of Nebraska, and a leading national expert on police early intervention systems. "It says the system isn't working and is designed not to work." Other problems: the FOP contract (natch) and data collection.
