I will ask him tonight, or tomorrow when I when I see him at the golf course.

I know it's a lot.

So how much was a lot?

Also, I do suppose that reasons and the type of complaints would matter too. Don't know if we'd know the details of all 90 complaints, but it seems that he has ties to dirty cops and that some of the complaints resulted in big payouts by the city.

I need to call him anyways and will ask.

How does this happen? I can see even a truly good cop getting a small handful of complaints from dishonest people over their career. But 90?!? Are they really that short of candidates? Is he really a true representation of all cops? Do they just not care?

But he's a gay, black, transexual Muslim (if you aren't hearing Rocky Horror in the back of your mind, shame on you), so he's got all the perfect identity for a leadership role in a Dem. organized city.
:mrgreen:

It makes you wonder how much worse the other applicants are.

That's Chicago...where anything is possible.
 
Chi-town has been like that since the 20's.
 
I applied to the Chicago cops in 1967 and immediately the threat of nonconforming to the thugs was overwhelming and so I dropped my application very soon after. I was also at the 1968 democratic convention or "Anatomy of a Police Riot" as the book about that convention was appropriately titled.

As someone who actually has family members and friends as Chicago Cops, they will be the first to tell you, there's a lot of Police Officers who shouldn't have the job. They come from the general population just like you and me, and they are no more super human or smarter than any of the people you work with each and every day. The myth that all cops are are good is just that ... a Myth. They are trained professionals and should act as such under any conditions. I'm sure no one here would ask for the Emergency Room Doctors Resume before working on you at a time of Emergency.

But where do you find highly educated and qualified people who want to work in Chicago law enforcement? Most people who would fit that description would rather not work in the murder capital of the country.

A police person with 90 complaints that gets promoted must be rather good at something.
