CRIME, Melrose Park has felon as aux cop [MP]

Technically felons aren't supposed to be working as cops. But if the chief of police is your buddy (and former partner in crime), felons can get job offers. And if the State's Attorney isn't going to enforce the law... It's like pro wrestling. Conduct is only against the rules if one is caught and the rules are enforced.

See Melrose Park Herald (John Huston).
A village spokesman said the matter was investigated six years ago by the Cook County State's Attorney's Office and nothing was ever done.

One more bullet in the argument that Proviso Township gets a separate and unequal level of protection from the State's Attorney.

    THIS DOES NOT SUPRISE ME BECAUSE IT IS OK FOR A FELON TO BE ON A BOARD OF EDUCATION. WHY IS THIS AND WHO CAN CHANGE THIS RULE OR LAW. WHY DO WE HAVE THESE KIND OF PEOPLE IN THE MIDST OF OUR CHILDREN. THEY ARE CRIMINALS AND JUST COMMITING CRIME ON SCHOOL BOPARDS
