Four tortured and beat mentally disabled man

Chicago, Illinois is known to have its share of problems. In 2016, 746 murders were committed. Now something truly sick has happened. A live Face Book video of beatings,torture, and racial taunting was posted. Two men and two women did the evil deed. The person being beaten and tortured was an 18 year old mentally disabled young man from an outside suburb. It is under question if he was also kidnapped. A second video shows his head being forced into a toilet to drink.

It is unclear how the young man got free. The police picked him up for questioning because he appeared distressed and was wearing shorts in cold weather.. At the hospital they were able to get the story with gentle questionings and reconnect him with his family.

These four people were caught by their act of  "The stupids." They sent text messages claiming to be holding their son captive. Prison is the best place for them and the safest for the community.

A person living under the supervision of his parents was beaten and tortured. This was done by 18 year old's who had no fear of the law. For the sake of future children, something has to change in Chicago.

Trying not to be an unarmed person shot by a cop

We need a police force. There will always be people who will not follow the law and enjoy hurting and killing others. The system of checks and balances are not strong enough.  Ongoing education is not mandated. Pay is poor. Because of this, problems occur. The main one being "Absolute power corrupts absolutely."

The shootings of unarmed civilians are the topic of conversations from homes to commuter trains, I heard a grown man say the following on the morning train. Many people took to heart what was said.

"Laugh at me if you want to but I will go home without a bullet in me. Protests just make cops angrier. I have a wife and kids who need me. If stopped by a cop for no reason I will do the following, I will have a 'pee-pee' party in my pants and fall to the ground screaming for my mom.."
Soap and water is cheap. I will have attracted attention and increased my chances of going home. Pride only fills a coffin,

I read information from the following links before blogging.  There  are too many stories on the internet. I could have filled over three pages with links. I picked a few.
