FOP : Mayor Emanuel, Back The Police!

The Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) is calling on all members to attend the Chicago City
Council Meeting on Wednesday, May 23, to demand that Mayor Rahm Emanuel back the
police. This move by the FOP comes in response to the Chicago Police Board’s decision to put
Officer Robert Rialmo in a no - pay status for a 2015 fatal shooting that was deemed
“unjustified” by COPA. Superintendent Eddie Johnson, experts, and the FOP said the shooting
was clearly justified.
The FOP is also protesting a possible move by Emanuel’s Corporation Counsel Ed Siskel to
fire two highly respected police officers, Jack O’Keefe and John Wrigley, on bogus claims
they lied under oath because they made slight errors in their testimony that had no effect on the
legitimacy of the arrest. Wrigley was wounded in a shooting in 2005 and received the Medal of
Valor.
The FOP is protesting the decision by COPA to rule a shooting by Officer Brandon Ternand in
2012 was not justified. Emanuel’s civilian oversight board, COPA, is conducting bogus,
politically motivated investigations, arbitrarily punishing officers. Emanuel is also selling
officers out in a federal consent decree that would give anti - police groups a voice in police
oversight. Emanuel’s Corporation Counsel is settling police misconduct cases that are clearly
bogus and should go to trial.
Emanuel has turned his back on the police. He has put police officers and
the public in danger. Now it’s time to confront him at the City Council
meeting.
When: May 23, 10 am
Where: City Hall , Council Chambers
121 N. LaSalle
Busses will be leaving from 51st and Wentworth, The FOP Hall, 1412 W. Washington,
and Belmont at Western at 8:30 am
