Never Over

Even if you're "cleared," you aren't:

• A veteran Chicago police officer who was cleared of wrongdoing by Superintendent Eddie Johnson in the fatal shooting of a 15-year-old boy still must face a disciplinary hearing that could cost him his job.
  
  Last summer, Chicago’s police review agency had found Officer [...] used excessive force, calling the shooting of Dakota Bright “unprovoked and unwarranted” and recommending his firing.
  
  But Johnson disagreed that Ternand should be fired, finding that his actions in the November 2012 shooting were clearly justified, according to records.
  
  However, last week, a Chicago Police Board member selected to review the matter rejected Johnson’s recommendation and ordered an evidentiary hearing be held to decide if Ternand should be disciplined. Possible punishment ranges up to his dismissal.

The mayor has his COPA tools in line and his hand picked, politically-connected Police Board (with zero police experience) has overruled Special Ed and will pass judgement Monday Morning Quarterback, looking back with the benefit of FIVE YEARS elapsed time to come to the appropriate POLITICAL outcome.

Special Ed is pretty much pointless from this point forward.

Why anyone would jeopardize their assets or freedom is beyond our comprehension.
