It's too bad guns are illegal in Chicago. Oh, wait...

According to the ABC video, five Chicago police officers have been killed this year. Looks like the bad guys are winning up there.

Several hundred gang members and hangers-on have been killed, mostly by other gang members. Unfortunately, a police officer requires a more lengthy education than a gang member.

An 18-year-old misguided choirboy was charged yesterday with the killing of the officer.

According to police, the motive was stealing the officer's extensive gun collection. The suspect reportedly was acquainted with the officer that he allegedly killed and had been in the officer's home.

The planned theft was never accomplished.

Criminals who kill police officers in Chicago tend not to do well in jail. They have a bad habit of falling down stairs while handcuffed and that sort of unfortunate accident.
