Judge: Chicago cops don’t have constitutional right to fair, unbiased investigations when accused of misconduct – Cook County Record

The complaint accused the Chicago Civilian Office of Police Accountability (COPA) and the agency's former director, Andrea Kersten, of ignoring official reports, dragging out investigations, waiting years to interview officers, and in some cases allegedly "fabricating facts to support its findings," when investigating officers accused of conducting alleged improper searches; allegedly improperly pointing weapons at suspects when responding to calls; improperly pursuing suspects against department policy and procedures, resulting in suspect's deaths; domestic incidents involving spouses and estranged spouses; and other alleged misconduct.
