$500,000 Bail

Almost 100 arrests, violent anti-social tendencies, but still roaming the streets:

• A Hazel Crest man accused of biting off the right nipple of an off-duty Chicago Police officer outside a Gold Coast steakhouse was ordered held in lieu of $500,000 bail today.

  Fernando Cooper, 31, of the 18100 block of South Kedzie Avenue, was charged with aggravated battery of a police officer, resisting arrest and attempted disarming of a police officer for the Sunday night incident outside Gibson's Bar & Steakhouse.

  Authorities said that about 9:30 p.m., the officer was working security for the restaurant when he was told that Cooper was outside grabbing at the feet of passersby in an attempt to shine their shoes.

What does it take to keep these jagoffs behind bars? We've got murderers, rapists, gun-wielding felons being released right and left by the powers that be, and no voter outcry. Sheep indeed.

Upon conviction, this particular asshole ought to have each and every one of his teeth removed with rusty pliers.
