Thread.

She’s gone.


I would need to see an official accounting of the money to be able to judge this.

According to a tribune article, the police were:

Working overtime.
Performing wellness checks.
Providing security at the airports to screen travelers.
Providing security at McCormick Place for the Covid Hospital they put in place.
Providing security at Covid testing sites.
Not to mention the round the clock security they put in place downtown due to the Floyd looting.

Could the money have been allocated better? Sure.
But I don't really see this as a misallocation.

I agree breh.. I have a police scanner app and black people call on the police 24/7.. And I mean for every fcking thing.. Yet somehow black people want to get rid of them.. I need some clarity on this method of thinking..

Illinois DCFS wraps up investigation into Father Michael Pfleger as Chicago Archdiocese probe continues

A DCFS investigation has concluded no credible proof to the allegations. There is still an ongoing internal investigation.

Pfleger is trying to get reinstated ASAP.

Illinois DCFS wraps up investigation into Father Michael Pfleger as Chicago Archdiocese probe continues

In a statement, DCFS confirmed: "The law does not permit DCFS to investigate allegations of child abuse or neglect made by an adult victim. DCFS can only determine whether there is a current child victim."

The archdiocese said DCFS has completed its investigation into Pfleger and said in part, "DCFS has determined the report to be 'unfounded.' This means that credible evidence of child abuse or neglect was not found during this investigation. This does not necessarily mean that an incident did not occur. An incident may have occurred but the evidence did not rise to the level required to indicate for abuse or neglect as dictated by state law and DCFS Administrative Rule."

"The Independent Review Board of the archdiocese will conduct its investigation into the allegations and will communicate its findings in due course. Fr. Pfleger will remain away from the parish pending the outcome of that process," the archdiocese said in a statement.

"I would hope and expect I would be returned to ministry quickly," Pfleger told ABC7 Chicago by phone Friday.

In the meantime, parishioners have continued many of the initiatives Father Pfleger worked on before the investigation, such as distributing food to seniors and others in the Auburn Gresham community.

Attorney Juliet Boy, who specializes in DCFS investigations, said their determination is significant.

"If the evidence does not meet DCFS standards that means the quantum of proof is fairly low," she said.
A spokesperson for the Archdiocese released a statement saying the process is not over: "The Independent Review Board of the archdiocese will conduct its investigation into the allegations and will communicate its findings in due course. Fr. Pfleger will remain away from the parish pending the outcome of that process."

"We want them to move quickly, and diligently, but the key word is quickly," said Cory Williams, with St. Sabina.

Pfleger said a Canon lawyer, who has to be approved by the Vatican, has recommended he be reinstated. He said he is restricted now, but when this is over, he will have much more to say.
