The classic definition of chutzpah is the murderer who kills both his parents and then throws himself on the mercy of the court because hes an orphan.
Officer Robert Rialmo of Chicagos PD has gone that one better. When a young man named Quintonio LeGrier called the copsalways a mistakedue to a domestic disturbance, Rialmo responded and shot Quintonio. Six times, no less. (As weve come to expect with these executions, Rialmos version of affairs not only differs extraordinarily from his victims relatives but from what the physical evidence indicates, too.) And while that barrage killed poor Quintonio, the tragedy has caused, and will continue to cause, Officer Rialmo to suffer extreme emotional trauma, as his lawsuit puts it.
The attorney for Quintonios family aptly summarized this outrage: Thats a new low even for the Chicago Police Department
First you shoot them, then you sue them.
