PO-PO, Northlake cop disciplined [NL]

Northlake Herald Journal (Chuck Fieldman) reports on disciplining officer Sandra Neuberg for swearing. She said she was "not going to do any (obscenity) paperwork." And that she considered the incident unfounded.

The incident caught my attention in part because of the Forest Park brouhaha about Sgt. Dan Harder swearing. It also seemed similar to the conflict Maria Hernandez and her neighbors are having with the Melrose Park police department. The police say the youths in question are gang members and the families deny it.

Part of the debate about the Northlake incident focuses on whether the individual in custody was a gang member.
