A Chicago Police lieutenant is under investigation after a man claimed the lieutenant had droped his 4-month-old infant after he handcuffed the man in a restaurant, according to police and news reports.
The man who was handcuffed, Chaz Byars, told Fox Chicago News, WFLD-Channel 32, that the lieutenant came into an Auburn-Gresham restaurant last Tuesday to investigate reports of shots fired. He began interrogating another man when Byars came to the man’s defense. That’s when “he grabbed my child’s car seat and my child fell out and hit his head,” Byars told Fox Chicago News. Byars said he was handcuffed and arrested. Byars said doctors told him the boy checked out fine but said “it’s a wait-and-see situation because his bones are still forming in his head.” The Illinois Police Review Authority confirmed to the Chicago Sun-Times late Friday that it was investigating the allegations.
Act Like an Ass...
Let's see - man with a gun call, police show up, a lieutenant asks some questions of a subject - yeah, let's jump into the middle of a conversation that doesn't concern us. While holding a baby. Who knows? We might get paid:
Oh yeah, let's confront the lieutenant with a child and the child isn't even strapped into the car seat. Interfere with the police, act surprised when the officer locks you up, act indignant when your own stupidity gets an innocent person injured. Like the lieutenant was just out looking around for a baby to drop on its head.
