It was Rocio Palacios who first noticed the woman who appeared to need help.
It was 8 a.m. when she and her husband, Erasmo, dropped their 6-year-old daughter off at school and had picked up their 22-year-old daughter to go out for breakfast when they saw the woman waving her arms at 53rd Street and Kedzie Avenue last November.
The Palacioses, of Chicago, claim the woman approached their car, parked outside Manolo’s restaurant, leaned in to the passenger side where Rocio was sitting and asked Erasmo if he wanted oral sex for $20 or sex for $25.
The couple laughed, realizing this wasnt a woman in distress after all.
But within seconds, Chicago police swarmed the family car, hauling Erasmo Palacios out in handcuffs. He was charged with solicitation of a prostitute
His daughter, who had just run in to exchange her coffee for a hot chocolate, screamed, while his wife cried in fear.
Eight hours later, Palacios, who has no criminal record, was released from custody. And weeks later, charges against him were dropped.
Attorneys Lonny Ben Ogus and Joe Cavanaugh also want to know what happened to the family’s 1983 Mercedes. It was impounded that November day and, Palacios said, his wife and daughter were even threatened with arrest as they tried to stop police from taking it, as they were left stranded that morning.
The city wants more than $4,700 in towing and storage fees if he wants the car back.
Yes, because the law says so, shitting on people is OK.
You are the same kind of sociopath – and scumbag – as Smith mentioned. A total absence of conscience, and a rigid, authoritarian worship of the law, used to rationalize that sociopathy – these pathological character deficits indicate that you could indeed have a bright future in police work.
After all, society can never have too many vicious goosestepping automatons.
Won’t someone ask the Mayor why the city won’t give him back the car?
Hizzoner Emperor Daley the Younger? King Of All He Surveys?
*buhahahahaa*
Oh, wait. You were serious. Daley’s the biggest crook of them all. His daddy taught him well.
Sue the bastards.
These cops enjoy hurting people for fun, they are the tortured rats whey they were kids. The pigs have guns and got into power just for the purpose of controlling others.
But most of all these cops HATE the constitution.
Chicago Police officers are a bunch of degenerated baboons. None of those morons actually know the law. Wow, I feel so safe living in Chicago… Oh, and I bet the car can be found on the huge Western Ave. car dump.
