You would think that being arrested for drug possession and being the primary suspect in a murder case would torpedo anybody’s chances of holding public office, much less getting re-elected, but this was not the case for Robert “Coop” Battle, an East Chicago 3rd District Councilman.
Already under scrutiny by the police for a traffic stop earlier this year in which he was found to be carrying 73 pounds of marijuana and more than $100,000 in his car, Battle finds himself under investigation for the October 12th shooting death of Reimundo Camarillo Jr, with police believing him to be the culprit.
Turn to the next page to see how Battle managed to win re-election:
What else could be expected in Chicago?
Stupidoity of the voters pays off.
Only in Chicago. Stay or of the wicked city if you want to remain free in one piece and ALIVE!
Welcome to liberal America.

Crazy!!!
A person with a clean record is probably not eligible to hold a political position in Chicago.
OMG…this is so ridiculous it is laughable…build a wall around Chicago and let them all kill eachother.
Look at Clinton! She hasn’t been charged but should be!!
You can not fix stupid, perfect example. Can, he serve on the council behind bars and draw his pay?
