Larry Hargrove, a retired Chicago police sergeant, was convicted today on federal charges that included racketeering conspiracy and robbery, as well as drug and gun crimes. This was Hargrove's second trial; the first ended with a hung jury. Two defendants who rolled over on Hargrove are awaiting sentencing.

During Hargrove's trial, they testified that between 1993 and 1999, the group pulled as many as 35 ripoffs of drug dealers in cars, houses and motels, taking money and narcotics.

A fourth defendant "dropped out of sight shortly before his trial and remains a fugitive."

    We have no cops in this non country we only have gang members not known yet working for gangs undercover for evil reasons. cops are as much are emenies so the government and bin laden are. buy guns be free in a nation of laws not rats. do i get my point across? what i think of the evil system of lies and political war criminals who want this nation a third world non nation of camps. by the way all cops are criminals and murderous evil pigs, like bush and business.

    "To serve and protect". I'm wondering where the one who got away might be? Working in some small county Sheriff's Dept.? And look at how long this went on. No one had a clue?

    Fred, What's to comment on. A criminal got convicted. People do worse than what he did on a daily basis. The fact that he was a police officer and the attempt to undermine the institution of law enforcement, by those with an axe to grind, is disheartening. But when you look at the incident, the police from the small town of Alsip did their job. Kudos to them. The police can and do police themselves.
