Bailey, exercise restraint and common sense in the pursuit of the bad guys.

The latest is that they have three teens in custody right now for questioning. If that’s the case, then there are serious problems in the community.

Third time is NOT the charm http://duffysrant.com/2010/07/19/third-time-is-not-the-charm/ http://duffysrant.com/2010/07/19/third-time-is-not-the-charm/#comments Mon, 19 Jul 2010 14:40:12 +0000 Duffy http://duffysrant.com/2010/07/19/third-time-is-not-the-charm/ For the third time, Chicago has had a police officer gunned down.  This time, Ofc. Michael Bailey, returning home after his shift guarding Mayor Daley’s home, was shot and killed by three men trying to steal his new car.  Bailey was about a month away from retirement and had bought the car as a retirement gift to himself.  Bailey was also still in uniform!

This has got to stop and the neighborhood has to decide that they’re going to step up and name names.  The “code of silence” only encourages the animals out there to do things like this.

Now, Bailey’s fmaily will be without him and he did not deserve to die like that.

Here’s the link to the article.  Pretty sorry state of affairs.

It’s about time. I figured that his choosing the Bahamas was not the brightest idea, since he would bound to be recognized.
