Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title.

If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.

Lmfao, he's running as a Democrat. He's going to get crucified by liberals.
John apparently didn't read the conservative memo - crooks, criminals, rapists, pedos, and murderers are supposed to run as a Republican. They love that sort of "quality" candidate - he may have actually had a shot over there.
You apparently don't know much about Chicago Democrats. They're buddy-buddy with the CPD. The article even mentions that soon-to-be Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot let this guy off the hook in a disciplinary case in a former position she held. This guy will do just fine if he wins the election. Hopefully, reporting on him and his crimes will prevent that, but he won't be stopped by Chicago Dems.
I'm from Chicago. It's a great city in many respects, but its quite racist and the CPD is notoriously so. One of the worst police forces in any major U.S. city.
The Chicago Democratic machine is basically Tammany Hall, for the modern era.
Although I will say that Gov. Rod was railroaded in his prosecution.
I didn't realize Chicago Dems were that bad. That really sucks. Is it just the people in power or the voting populace as well?
Can't speak for the voting populace. Chicago politics are a freakin' travesty and have been for as long as I've been alive. It's a Blue city and pretty decent on many other political issues, but the PD is ridiculously corrupt and racist, and they've had their fingers on political levers for ages.
That's not entirely accurate. The entire Illinois political system is a travesty. Well, unless you're a bagman by trade, then it's a permanent boom town.
There are conservative democrats. The progressives in Chicago are socialist
They never closed that "black-site" in Chicago, did they?
I fucking hope they did. I haven’t lived in Chicago for years, but I balked when I read about that. What a fucking disgrace. This is why I never liked Lori Lightfoot. I don’t know how you can be a Black politician in Chicago and go light on the CPD over a fucking secret prison. Total garbage.

Yeah. The first two sentences are "Democrats" and "corrupt".
Chicago politics.
Long time one party rule is a guaranteed breeding ground of corruption, no matter the party, but goddamn, the Chicago Democrats are something special.
I think there's even a valid case from the left to accuse them of culturally appropriating large aspects La Cosa Nostra heritage and culture, all while keeping a straight face.
Maybe not Capone, but definitely an argument for Stolen Lansky Valor. All the pencil whipping corruption, but none of the swag.
