The guy in the article is repped by my former brother in law, Josh Tepfair. Nice pub and pic of him in there. Not technically my former yet as the ink on the divorce between his sis and my brother hasn't dried yet.

They are the real fucking leaches on society.

If you aren't married to his sister, does it really make him your brother-in-law? His parents aren't your in-laws.

Another abusive white cop.

What does him being white have to do with it? That is as racist as someone saying that all the looters in the viral video of people stealing shoes from a foot locker in Florida that has gone viral were all black, so people should just assume that all looters are black. Neither is fair.

The investigators focused on a pair of 2005 arrests involving Jones at Ida B. Wells, a South Side public housing complex where the Watts team worked. Authorities brought charges against Ben Baker, a drug dealer at the time, and his wife Clarissa Glenn. The arrests allegedly stemmed from Baker’s refusal to pay police protection fees.

The COPA report names “admitted” drug dealers at the complex who gave statements to COPA “against their interests.” It also names a former police informant who, according to the agency, described Jones as Watts’ “bodyguard and enforcer, a man who was known to beat people in order to get information.”

Jones, according to that account, “was routinely involved in false arrests” and rewarded the informant “by telling him where to find stashed narcotics for his personal use.”

Another witness, according to COPA, said an officer he knew as “Al” routinely came to his apartment to demand drugs. The dealer, who identified Jones as that officer in a photo array, said members of the Watts team made as many as 200 such demands over the years.

COPA investigators, according to the report, found those statements “reliable.”

The arrests of Baker and Glenn took place on December 11, 2005. The report lists 23 alleged CPD rule violations by Jones for arresting the couple “without justification,” knowingly filing a spate of “false” reports about the arrests, allegedly lying to city investigators about the case and bringing “discredit” to the police department.

The report also describes reports and sworn statements by Jones that put him in separate locations at the same time that day. At about 12:12 p.m., according to COPA, Jones claimed he saw Baker commit a traffic violation and saw Glenn hand a bag of suspected drugs to her husband. Jones then helped another cop on the Watts team arrest the couple.

During those same moments, according to the report, Jones also claimed he was conducting surveillance on a drug dealer’s transactions at a different building and that he helped with that dealer’s arrest. COPA described the surveillance and arrests as “simultaneous.”

“COPA’s investigation revealed that Watts and Jones falsely arrested Baker and Glenn, that Jones then falsified related Vice Case Reports and arrest reports in furtherance of the false arrest, that Jones then testified falsely under oath in court hearings regarding the arrests, and that when COPA investigators later questioned him about events related to the arrests, he continued to provide false information,” the report states.

Baker was arrested three times in 2004 and 2005. After a trial on drug-related charges in which he laid out his claims of police corruption, Baker was sentenced in 2006 to 14 years in prison. The report found that Jones testified falsely at Baker’s

More than 200 criminal convictions in cases investigated by Watts and his team have been overturned.
