Politics Drives Investigation

And Channel 2 injects race into it all:

• Chicago congressman Bobby Rush calls it a case of political hot potato. First he sent a letter about Kyser to the Cook County State's Attorney's Office. He says that office put it off on police. So he sent a letter to the police, accusing the department of ignoring a homicide. Kyser's ex-wife believes that to be true.
  
  
• The police initially said it was accident, but the department late Thursday says it has an "active" investigation open.
  
  
• Balboa says things may have turned out differently if her ex-husband had been white.
  
  She's not alone. Rush sent a letter to Superintendent Jody Weis and says his department is ignoring murder.

Rush has a helluva lot of nerve after his history of advocating murder and mayhem. But the only tune Rush knows is "racism."

Ten bucks says J-Fled collapses and Alvarez follows suit.
