Slam Dunk Defamation Suit

If the FOP isn't consulting with some high priced attorneys right this very second, then they're all morons who need to be voted out of office and someone put in there with some actual testicles.

First, the protests:

• More than 120 people gathered to protest the death of 15-year-old Steve Rosenthal, who police say fatally shot himself on the back stairwell of his West Side home after he was briefly chased by officers who allegedly saw him holding a handgun.
  
  Shouting “No justice, no peace,” or “Let us see Steve,” the crowd gathered Sunday at Johnson School of Excellence at 1420 S. Albany Ave. and marched to Mount Sinai Medical Center a few blocks away, shutting down both lanes of Ogden Avenue at times.
  
  A brief altercation ensued outside the hospital’s emergency room when a large group chanting “Let us see Steve” tried to force their way into the building and scuffled briefly with security officers blocking the doorway. A few people in the crowd wondered why the protesters went to the hospital rather than the Cook County medical examiner’s office, where the teen’s body was taken for an autopsy.

Um, because you're idiots, being led by morons. Next question?

Then the speeches start:

• “Steven was on the stairwell of his grandmother’s house on the West Side of Chicago when police officers stormed up the stairwell chasing,” the family’s attorney, Andrew Stroth, said at a news conference prior to the march Sunday. “Within moments, these officers, without cause or provocation, shot and killed 15-year old Steven. … Based on several eyewitness accounts, these officers ended the hopes and the dreams of a talented young man with a bright future.”
  
  Rosenthal’s aunt, the teen’s legal guardian, sobbed as she made a public plea to Mayor Rahm Emanuel to order the release of any body camera recordings of the shooting.
  
  “My 15-year old nephew Steven was shot and killed by the Chicago Police Department,” Terinica Thomas, 28, said, weeping and shaking visibly as she stood before the news media. “I need the attention of Mayor Emanuel. I need to see evidence. Body cams. They need to release the video. My nephew would never commit suicide ever. … If he (Emanuel) even had the smallest compassion for our family, he’d get those videotapes released.”

These are actionable statements, and as soon as the autopsy report is released, the FOP should be (A) suing the attorney, (B) suing auntie and (C) seeking to disbar the attorney.

• The autopsy will show gunpowder residue on the dead individual;
• the autopsy will show massive damage to the deceased's mouth from a gun firing inside it;
• the autopsy will show the bullet exited his skull, upward, from the mouth

A judgement should be sought against auntie, since she's an idiot. The attorney license ought to be framed and mounted on the wall of the FOP Hall where everyone can look and laugh at it. Let's get on this FOP - the info is right there in front of you. We know someone down there has some balls - use them.
