Scumbag of the Day

Today’s SotD comes from the fabulous city of Chicago where a 250 pound police officer decided it was his day to beat the living snot out of a 115 pound woman. Why you ask? Because she decided, in her professional opinion as a bartender, that this dick had enough to drink. Gee…ya’ think?

Karolina Obrycka, who suffered injuries to her head, arms and ribs, had cut him off because he was drunk, fighting with other patrons and trying to buy rounds of shots without any money, she told investigators.

After the Feb. 19 beating at a Northwest Side bar, someone came into the bar before last call and offered her money to forget about the attack, Cook County prosecutors said Wednesday in court.

Prosecutors charged Abbate, a 38-year-old tactical officer, with felony aggravated battery late Tuesday—a week after Chicago police officials had quietly filed a misdemeanor battery charge on March 14.

Sources familiar with the investigation said police had preemptively charged Abbate before the Cook County State's Attorney's Office had completed its investigation, and prosecutors immediately took steps to upgrade the misdemeanor charge after they learned about it Monday.

Prosecutors are looking into whether multiple police officers threatened to arrest the victim and bar owner on trumped-up charges if they didn't drop the case, sources said.

Sounds to me like a few of Chicago’s finest are going to be short of some work in the foreseeable future, or worse – trade their badge for a “Bubba’s Bitch” plaque in the joint.  God I hope it’s the later.
