Arrested
again and again — but still a Chicago cop
Over the past seven years, Chicago police Officer Richard A.
Rizzo has been arrested four times by fellow members of his department. The
charges included domestic battery, child endangerment and aggravated assault
with a gun. Each time, officers booked Rizzo and took his mugshot. Each time,
prosecutors filed criminal charges against him.And each time, prosecutors ended
up dropping the charges against the 15-year police veteran.

Fired
as Chicago cops — and collecting city pensions
Chicago Police Sgt. Nicholas M. Ortega stood to lose
everything — his job, his freedom, his pension. Ortega was in uniform on duty
in March 2005 when he met up with a group of cops at a bar and ended up driving
the wife of a rookie officer he supervised back to a Northwest Side police
station where they had sex in a basement office, police records show. He then
drove her back to the bar.
