A good article in the Chicago Sun-Times today - here's the first couple of paragraphs:
"Odds are, somebody knows who killed Chicago Police Officer Michael R. Bailey. Killers have a hard time keeping a secret, police say, and the clues they leave behind often make somebody - a relative, a neighbor, an acquaintance - suspicious. But all too often nobody comes forward. Nobody helps the police. Nobody does what is honorable and right. So, the killers never pay. This, we believe, goes a long way toward explaining why Officer Bailey was killed - because we, the people of Chicago, failed him with our silence." The article concludes by stating "The job of every police officer is to protect the people of Chicago. The job of every Chicagoan is to protect the police. To do both jobs, we must work together." WE AGREE.

Here's the Chicago Tribune's editorial regarding the recent violence that has plagued Chicago and claimed the lives of three of Chicago's finest. The editorial claims there is no "open season" on police officers, stating that two of the slain officers were robbery victims. But, what the editorial fails to mention is the brazen circumstances of both killings. Officer Thor Soderberg was killed with his own weapon after a struggle in a police station parking lot. And, Officer Michael Bailey was shot outside his home while wearing his police uniform. So, the point is, these murderers KNEW that their victims were police officers - yet, they didn't care. Pretty scary if you ask us. . .
Chicago Sun-Times columnist Mary Mitchell shares her thoughts about her friend Michael Bailey, the Chicago police officer who was shot and killed yesterday.

Devastating. Chicago has lost another of its finest. Officer Michael Bailey, who was only weeks from retirement, was shot and killed outside his home early Sunday morning after finishing his security shift in front of Mayor Richard M. Daley's home. Officer Bailey was still in uniform and apparently cleaning his car when one or more suspects attempted to rob him. Bailey was in uniform at the time of the shooting. Words cannot describe this tragic and senseless loss. Very very difficult and sad times in the Chicago police community. Officer Bailey, too, will be missed but not forgotten.
