You have to work hard to be this tone deaf.
The decision to release a five-time felon with four pending felony cases, including two violent robberies, on electronic monitoring was not a mistake, Cook County’s chief judge says, even though that man is now accused of going on to murder a Chicago police officer and gravely wounding the fallen officer’s partner.

Hat tip to Second City Cop: The Chief Judge said What???
The fact that an asshole judge can say thing like this without any fear of political (or other) repercussions is truly a crying shame.
Could it be a factor that the top judge quoted in the article, and the judge who released this monster are friends?
