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:
You are sorta missing out on how Normal People Vote!!!!!
Under our system of justice you are innocent until proven guilty. All you have to do is accuse someone of something and then ask him to resign. Share this guys probably guilty but you still have to wait
Democrats don`t care.
Democrats ALWAYS side with criminals over citizens
How can a criminal with a record even be allowed on the ballot unless of course your whole system is corrupt to the core
?????
and who votes for that?
Doesn’t matter where he’s from the story is still the same. He is a LOSER!
Drugs and Murder must be considered normal behavior in Chicago!
An example of what is happening in our large cities,and we allow it. Our values are different than they used to be. Sad but true !!
