I lived in Cook county from 1976 to 1997. The corruption there is unreal and well known. People just seem to expect it. The Schuamburg Police are corrupt violent SOBs. Me and a buddy had a run in with them back in 1982. They put him in the hospital for 2 weeks with a concusion and other severe injuries. He sued the police and won. I was a witness in that trial and participated in an internal affairs investigation of the officers involved. Of course I was arrested during the beating that I witnessed. The charges were "disorderly conduct". Apparently being a witness to a police beating constitues disorderly conduct in Schuamburg. I was found not guilty of the charges and later testifed in court against the slob cops that beat my freind to a pulp. The internal affairs investigation was a joke. The investigator role was to discredit me and do everything he could to find cover for the 2 cops that initiated the beating. This cover up slop cop testified in court for the cops but even the judge seemed anyoid with this so called investigator.
My freind won his law case and was awared enough to pay for his lost pay, attorney fee's and medical bills.
