Photo shows rifle-toting Chicago cops posing with a black drug suspect like a hunting trophy

A judge ruled against Chicago police and ordered them to release a photo that shows two rifle-toting officers kneeling over a black suspect wearing deer antlers.
The Polaroid picture, believed to be taken between 1999 and 2003, was turned over to the city by federal prosecutors after Jerome Finnigan, one of the officers in the photo, was sentenced to 12 years in prison for organizing robberies and home invasions with other cops. ADVERTISEMENT
The other officer in the photo, Timothy McDermott, was fired last year by a 5-4 vote by the police board, reported the Chicago Sun-Times.
The dissenters said McDermott should only be suspended, but the majority said treating the unidentified black suspect as “a hunted animal is a disgrace and shocks the conscience.”
Attorneys for the police department and McDermott, who is appealing his firing, asked Judge Thomas Allen to keep the photo from being released to protect the suspect’s privacy.
The judge denied the request in March, and the Sun-Times recently obtained the photo in a court file.
Finnigan told prosecutors that he and McDermott had arrested the man because he had “20 bags of weed,” but neither officer filed an arrest report for the case and they apparently let him go because he did not have a serious criminal background.
The person who took the photo, which Finnigan said was a “spur of the moment” stunt,” has not been identified.
The police superintendent said the photograph was “disgusting” and “despicable,” and he said both officers deserved to be fired.

I love how the suspect had enough sense-of-humor to pose and make a face, even after being arrested and having his 20 bags of weed taken. Good man.
It's a genuinely funny shot, if you put all the facts aside it almost looks like three best friends who walked off and had beers together after this photo

Besides them bringing up old shit with the photo does the black man look unwilling i in this photo? He's not cuffed, making a funny face, and letting the cop in jail on curroption for robbing drug dealers evidence. It just looks like a fun joke that only the guy on the right was trying to make racist. Just saying without explaining my understanding why after reading a couple articles.

They let him go after this photo. I think they told him to play along and they would let him go. If he resisted they would hurt him badly and then arrest him.
We can't even believe these particular officers when they say they found drugs on him.
Also was he stopped while wearing the antlers? Or did they take them to work with them just for this purpose?

Could have all been staged, they may have gone to school with him

Why does that matter? Do you really want a police force that treats the public like a piece of meat? You can say a joke's a joke all you want, but within comedy is always truth. Not to mention people are fucking dumb.
