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:
Oh come on. It’s Chicago. Who would suspect anything else?
Should have NEVER given these people positions of authority!
This is why felons can’t run for office.
I would be willing to bet he is a democrat. It’s almost expected by democrat voters now that their candidate is a criminal before voting for them.
In Chicago all things are possible if your black, you deserve what you elect. No P.C. from me.
Only in Obama’s Chicago land
If you want stand up and fight to take your city back, I have no sympathy for you!
ONLY IN CHICAGO
Are the people of Chicago that stupid? Apparently so. You just can’t fix STUPID.
Come on now folks, get with the program. Black Lies Matter. 🙂 … and no, I did not misspell any words in this comment. 😮
