In past few days Chicago has once again be rocked by a scandal. A young boy, who had a very troubled background, was shot and killed while he was vandalizing vehicles by an ON DUTY officer. This officer fired his weapon 16 times into the body of the boy. The excessiveness of the violence has caused a hue and cry across the City.
It should be noted that a probate judge allowing miscreants to prospect for gold in an elderly woman's mouth, harvest it and not inventory it cause no ire. However, this shooting got the press' panties in an uproar.
The officer was charged with murder. HOWEVER, that should not be the end of the story. The killing took place shortly after the riots in Missouri, New York **** and before Chicago's mayor was subject to a vote as to whether he would retain his reign as Mayor of Chicago. The killing by police of a young Black man (teenager) would have meant defeat! The 16 shorts into the body of a man armed with a knife would have raised a hue and cry in the African American community and denied the mayor of their normally reliable votes.
Thus, what happened? The City of Chicago law department went into full 'cover up' mode. They were not as obscene as Jerome Larkin and his 18 USCA 242 co-conspirators, but they made it clear that no one was to say anything about the shooting and after the election there would be a substantial payoff. The press was silent, the family was silent, Father **** was silent, all the political operatives were silent *****. After the election, the family who had not contributed anything toward any positive situation in the boy's life was paid off- they got five million dollars of Chicago tax money.
I'll bet the mayor did not report this benefit on either his Federal or State Income Tax return - but he received the benefit and the City of Chicago got four more years of our mayor.

CHICAGO—A Chicago police officer was charged with murder Tuesday in the death of a black teenager, as officials here prepare to release a potentially explosive dashboard camera video of the shooting.
Prosecutors said officer Jason Van Dyke, who is white, turned himself into authorities Tuesday to face a first-degree murder charge in the death of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald last year. A lawyer for Mr. Van Dyke wasn’t immediately reached Tuesday, but he has said the shooting that happened while on duty was lawful and that his client was protecting himself and others.
Mr. Van Duke is expected to make his first court appearance midday Tuesday.

The charge comes as the police department prepares to release what has been described as a graphic video of the shooting, in which Mr. McDonald was struck 16 times. A circuit court judge ruled last week the dashboard video is subject to public-disclosure laws and must be released by the department by Wednesday.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel, pastors and community activists have been meeting in recent days in the face of concerns the video could touch off violence in the nation’s third-largest city. Such cities as Ferguson, Mo., and Baltimore have experienced rioting, looting and vandalism in response to police shootings. But there also have been peaceful protests in many U.S. cities amid a growing call for changes in the use of force by police, particularly against black men.
Chicago Urban League Interim President Shari Runner called for “calm and mutual respect” in a statement this week, while saying she understands the “feelings of outrage, distrust and fear.” Other groups, such as Black Youth Project 100, a national organization of activists 35 years old and younger, declined to meet with city officials, saying attention should be put on police violence, not the potential response to the release of the video.
Mr. Van Dyke appears to be the first police officer who has been charged in an on-duty shooting in Chicago—a city that for decades has averaged a shooting by police every week, said Craig Futterman, a professor of law at the University of Chicago who focuses on civil rights and police accountability.
Mr. McDonald was shot and killed by Chicago police on Oct. 20, 2014, after officers responded to reports of a man breaking into vehicles. A police account contained in the coroner’s report said the teenager had lunged at the officers with a knife leading an officer to open fire.
But lawyers for his family who viewed the video say it contradicts the police account, and shows Mr. Van Dyke shooting the teen as he walked away from the officer.
None of the other officers on scene opened fire.
In April, before Mr. McDonald’s family filed a lawsuit, the city agreed to a $5 million settlement in the matter. Lawyers for the family have declined to release the footage.
The city fought records requests for the video for months and agreed to release it last week after an independent journalist won a court battle to make it public. The Illinois attorney general also ruled earlier this month that the Chicago police improperly denied a Wall Street Journal request for the footage.
City leaders appeared to be encouraging prosecutors to make a charging decision before the video was released. Mr. Emanuel said last week that he hoped the Wednesday deadline would give prosecutors enough time to “expeditiously bring their investigation to a conclusion, so Chicago can begin to heal.”
Mr. Van Dyke is the 15th police officer to be charged with murder or manslaughter for an on-duty shooting in the U.S. this year, the highest number going back a decade, according to research by Philip Stinson, an associate professor of criminal justice at Bowling Green State University. Still, murder or manslaughter charges against police officers in on-duty fatal shootings remain extremely rare.
Let me assure you - Officer VAn dyke will be tried and convicted. He has zero chance of escaping conviction as to any charge; however, an HONEST investigation would reveal the climate that exists and how the citizens of the City of Chicago are being defrauded and denied their right to honest government.
My issue is not the beaten to death Chicago corruption, but the choate cover=up of the WAR ON THE ELDERLY AND DISABLED that the corrupt jurists, corrupt lawyers, corrupt judicial officials and their 18 USCA 371 and 18 USCA 242 co-conspirators are not only waging but winning.
The cover -up that exists in the Vandyke case is complex, just as the cover up in the Mary Sykes case 09 P 4585, Alice Gore case, Carole Wyman, et al. The difference is that in these 'elder cleansing case' the reward for the miscreants does not come out of City of Chicago or State of Illinois fund exclusively - much of it comes from the victims estate and/or the victim's family.
The cover-up in the elder cleansing cases is more than hiding the theft, breach of fiduciary relationship, dishonesty etc. This cover-up includes deprivation of civil and human rights and perversion of the core values of America. The very idea (accepted by the Supreme Court of Illinois) that reporting pursuant to 18 USCA 4 or in a manner protected by 47 USCA 230 of criminal misconduct by judges, lawyers, judicial officials and the like is Akin to yelling fire in a crowded theater *****. (actual words of Larkin (IARDC) in JoAnne Denison disciplinary proceeding.
Only by a honest investigation can the public ascertain the extent and nature of the cancer that is invading our society and culture. ISIS is a minor league operative compared to Larkin and his co-conspirators. ISIS uses blunt force to attempt to undermine America. Larkin and his ilk use our valued institutions to undermine not only America but the core values of America. We need HONEST investigations to root out all the facts and to remove all of the cancer.
