“#Chicago top cop retires after comparing police reforms to \u2018rape\u2019: report<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n A top cop in Chicago who recently announced his retirement had just been suspended for almost a month \u2014 for comparing police reforms to \u201crape,\u201d according to a report.<\/p>\n

Chief Fred Waller, a 34-year veteran who is the force\u2019s third-in-command, sparked a slew of complaints for the words he used in a meeting to attack plans to pull officers from street patrols, the Chicago Sun-Times said.<\/p>\n

\u201cGrope me, don\u2019t rape me,\u201d Waller reportedly told the meeting at police HQ of losing his key officers.<\/p>\n

His comments left the room in stunned silence, and one attendee told him, \u201cDon\u2019t ever say that again,\u201d according to the paper, which cited an internal affairs report. Another said she was concerned for anyone in the room who may have \u201chad traumatic histories with that kind of abuse.\u201d<\/p>\n

Waller said he apologized to all those he offended at the 18-person November meeting, but internal affairs recommended he be suspended for 14 days, the Sun-Times said, noting how rare it was for someone of his seniority to be punished that way.<\/p>\n

The force\u2019s top brass then decided to double the punishment and suspend him for 28 days, the report said. No reason was given for the dramatic increase in his punishment in March.<\/p>\n

The long suspension was an \u201cexcuse\u201d to force him out, the president of the Fraternal Order of Police, John Catanzara, told the Sun-Times.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s pretty disgusting that they would hammer him to that level,\u201d the union president said, calling Waller\u2019s concerns about depleted police patrols \u201cwell understood and 100% spot-on.\u201d<\/p>\n

Waller initially continued working, using vacation and personal days to counter the suspension, the chief told the Sun-Times.<\/p>\n

But on Saturday he announced he was retiring at the age of 58.<\/p>\n

However, he insisted that it had nothing to do with the suspension, however, blaming the \u201cgrind\u201d of the top job.<\/p>\n

Calling his punishment \u201csomewhat harsh,\u201d Waller said he understood \u201cthe message they wanted to send.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI was trying to make an emphatic point. Do I advocate rape? No. It wasn\u2019t meant in that context,\u201d he told the Chicago paper. \u201cLooking back on it, [it was] inapp<\/a>ropriate,\u201d he conceded.<\/p>\n

Waller said he spoke out as the \u201cwatchdog\u201d for the patrol division, which was being depleted with officers moved to other units like the police academy.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody, when they need bodies, patrol is where you go. But we also need those bodies to man those districts,\u201d he said.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
