Wow way to encourage citizens to come to the aid of the police.
Why would the police even go there? Here was a person who came to the aid of officer's down and this is their reaction?
Just because something is missing does not mean that this person took it.
Was the weapon found on the nurse?
Where there witnesses that said the nurse took the weapon?
Did the police conduct a through search of the accident scene to determine if the weapon was in the wreckage or thrown out of the vehicle?
This has to be the most circumstantial case.
And if how the nurse was treated in jail is true (she may be exaggerating her story), what the police did was.. well.. criminal.
7 mill is a lot go give her, but we don't know how much of this 7 mill was punitive.
I guess no good deed goes unpunished in Chicago.
I wonder how the police department will feel when their next officer involved in an accident bleeds to death or burns to death because no one wanted to take the risk of being falsely arrested and held for 10 months.
