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:
Sickening ignorance
Free drugs for voters….!!!!
Thugs promoting thugs?
thugs electing thugs? holey moley is this guy scary!
He must be a Democrat!
Maybe the leftists can lobby for this guy and Hillary to bunk together in prison. It would be very multicultural and anti sexist.
Sounds like this administration doesn’t it
Chicago is a toilet.
Figures!
And they wonder why so much black on black crime there!
