Nice Arrests

Even in this day and age of no contract, poor equipment, little support and near-constant beatings in the media, cops still go out and do the job, day after night after day:

• Two men arrested in a West Side shooting last Wednesday have been linked to an unsolved 2008 murder. A third man sought in the murder has also been apprehended and charged, police announced Sunday.

  The Chicago Police Department’s Gang Enforcement Unit, along with Harrison District officers arrested the men for their alleged involvement in a West Side shooting last week. That investigation led to the men being charged with first-degree murder in an October 2008 homicide, according to a Chicago Police Department statement.

According to the article, these were some hard core pieces of garbage killing other pieces of garbage, so we're sure we're going to hear a bunch of, "Who cares?" But somewhere deep down, everyone likes to lock up a shooter, regardless of the victim. And these were chased right after a shooting, apprehended dirty and connected to a couple of other shootings.

Nice job to all involved.
