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:
Is voting & registering really for real & is everybody voting for this?
I suppose these are the best they can find
Is that a surprise to anyone? He represents his community.
My God……People are just plain stupid!
And Chicago keeps digging that corruption hole deeper and deeper and wondering why things are getting worse and not better.
Chicago, Chicago!! His hometown!!!
How do you fix stupid?
No surprise to me, facts about thugs and thieves don’t matter to dumocrates
And they try to blame the problem on the gun
Chicago, just remember that now you will get what you voted for. The gangs, shootings, killings, drug dealing, all of it You voted for it, please do not complain when you get what you deserve.
