Ninth Stage

Murderous cops go unpunished as a matter of course in Chicago. Best excuse:”Come on. This is Chicago.”

On the street, when a shooting is inappropriate, autopsies can help reveal the contradictions in a police officer’s version of how it occurred. But it’s up to police and OPS investigators to make that connection and follow up.

Edmund Donoghue, former chief medical examiner in Cook County, said he was not surprised to see cursory investigations. “When you see this stuff going on for 30 years, you don’t expect much,” said Donoghue, who retired last year. “Come on. This is Chicago.”

Come on. Whattaya expect?
