When you're relaxing in a bar, when you're relaxing in a church.... you should not use physical force against anyone because of an argument

The Police beat citizens. Afterwords the Police threaten citizens with retaliation if they complain. So the Mayor turns Police brutality into an opportunity to lecture the citizenry thus,

"The responsibility of every citizen is not have a fight with their neighbors and with their family. How is that? That is very, very simple," the mayor told reporters after dedicating a pair of new homes in Englewood.

"When you're relaxing in a bar, when you're relaxing in a church, when you're relaxing walking down the street and when you're in your home, you should not use physical force against anyone because of an argument about the White Sox or the Cubs or the Tribune or the Sun-Times."

Read the Taguba Report on Abu Garib. You'll find this citation,

4. (U) The individual Soldiers and Sailors that we observed and believe should be favorably noted include:

a. (U) Master-at-Arms First Class William J. Kimbro, US Navy Dog Handler, knew his duties and refused to participate in improper interrogations despite significant pressure from the MI personnel at Abu Ghraib.

b. (U) SPC Joseph M. Darby, 372nd MP Company discovered evidence of abuse and turned it over to military law enforcement.

c. (U) 1LT David O. Sutton, 229th MP Company, took immediate action and stopped an abuse, then reported the incident to the chain of command.

The US Army policed itself, investigated, and disciplined well before CBS broke the story. I don't see anyone in CPD who took immediate action, stopped an abuse, and reported it to the chain of command.

Instead mumbo jumbo from the Mayor about what citizens should do in Church. What an insult to Chicagoans who have to think twice now about asking a cop for help.
