Today we have a boat load of links with stories covering Chicago Police, Chicago Politics, inner woven Police and Politics and money flying out. Were providing the direct links for your easy surfing and grumbling pleasure.

One of the stories on Daley which we enjoyed was done by John Kass of the Tribune. He intertwined a few Chicago Politicians, and a business man to which Daley has a favored canary-yellow sports coat named after him. The color yellow is said to have a few meanings some of which indicates honor and loyalty. Later the meaning of yellow was connected with cowardice.

Even more Daley:
CHICAGO - A federal judge ruled that Chicago Mayor Richard Daley will have to give testimony under oath about police torture that allegedly took place while he was Cook County state's attorney in the 1980s. This story goes back to Burge and an alleged settlement by the city with pardoned death row inmate Madison Hobley.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Geraldine Soat Brown made the six-page ruling Thursday.
In the opinion, she wrote that the facts in Hobley's case "support a conclusion that Mr. Daley may have information about the activities of Burge and other police officers, about who in the city and police administration knew about those activities, and about whether any action was taken on the basis of such knowledge."
The date of the deposition has not been determined.
Attorneys for Daley contend that the mayor doesn't have any additional knowledge that couldn't be obtained from other sources.
"Our position has been that the mayor has no unique or new information about the case," said Jennifer Hoyle, spokeswoman for the city's law department.

Police story:
Story goes something like this. I have no picture of my dog although she was a companion for 10 years. The Police shooting of my dog happened over a year ago in my yard. City needs to make me right but I can't raise another dog at my age, I'm 68 makes me a senior.

More Police:
$10 million in damages Thursday to a couple who said the Chicago Police Department retaliated against them after they tried to report corrupt former Officer Joseph Miedzianowski in 1992.

Even more police:
Remembering the Ware case. (Ware's family claimed) that he was shot at six times, and a gun was planted to justify the shooting. Ware died three weeks after the 2003 traffic stop. The city settled with the family for $5 million.
