Burge reports

Just last week a professor at the school was on the news, talking about the ‘Burge Reports’ as it has all become known. He said the special investigation into the allegations was whitewashed. The Special Prosecutor who was assigned to the matter wasted the taxpayers’ money and to date not one police officer has been held accountable. They want Burge charged criminally, (he is retired in Florida), but it is unlikely, since the statue of limitation on the crimes committed have run its course.

What frustrates me is everybody acts like this is something new. I remember during the time in question, suspects were so scared to go into police station areas #2 and #3, they used to turn themselves in to Rush Ewing (a reporter). Now that the matter has come to light, a lot of politicians see this as a chance to get noticed. But no one is getting involved in these cases.
