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:
SOP for Chicago.
THE NEW AMERICAA
Sounds like Detroit, Baltimore and Washington D.C., is this guy one of obama’s buddys?
LOL
Looks like he passed the requirements for living in Chicago, why not ‘re-elect him? He’s the perfect representation of the constituency living in his district.
Typical democrat.
Pitiful
Good for Chick n Go.
Chicago thugs run the city anything and anyone can break the law and still ruin the city!
And you wonder why Chicago is so screwed up?!!!
