Burge and his officers have denied wrongdoing.

The statute of limitations ran out on his alleged crimes, but Burge was convicted in 2010 of perjury in civil proceedings for lying about torture he oversaw. He was sentenced to 4½ years in prison and completed his sentence this year. Burge continues to receive a police pension."

One cop costs Chicago over $100 million in legal fees and settlements. But he still gets his pension. Impressive.

That's the UNION for you and why Chicago is so f'd up with a debt of $63 billion. If only the city and the State would follow the path set by Gov. Walker in Wisconsin they'd have a chance. But that will never happen.

Meanwhile the teachers are planning on striking again because their UNION tells them so, f'k the kids and taxpayers!
