Supt. Starks: Many Who Accuse Cops Are Lying

Aldermen Want To Release List Of Officers With More Than 10 Complaints

CHICAGO (AP) ― Chicago's interim police chief says some of the people who have lodged complaints against his officers have been charged with crimes and are trying to enhance their court cases by discrediting police.

Starks made the assertion Monday to a Chicago City Council hearing on the city's proposed 2008 budget.

Starks remarks came as lawyers for a group of aldermen asked a federal judge to order the release of a complete list of officers with more than 10 citizen complaints of wrongdoing made against them over the last five years.

The list was turned over to aldermen in July, but with officer names blacked out. The aldermen contend they are entitled to know the identities of the officers.

Well no crap some of them are lying, but as it turns out, some of them aren't. Otherwise the SOS would still be a running concern, there wouldn't be new cases for confessions through torture, and there wouldn't be cops hiring hitmen. Let's use the PuSH'er argument for cameras: If you're not doing anything wrong, why shouldn't the names be released to the Aldermen? They are the elected representatives of the people of Chicago, aren't they?
