Payments to disabled cop Chuck Siedlecki suspended after Sun-Times reports

KUDOS TO MIKE SHIELDS! Pension board member Michael Shields, who is also president of the Fraternal Order of Police, the union representing city cops, urged the board to withhold taking any action on Siedlecki’s case.

“We have to have a burden of proof in order to suspend benefits,” Shields told other board members. “If you want to do it, let’s do it right.”

Chicago’s police pension board suspended the disability benefits Thursday of a police officer who, after going on disability because of an injury he said made it impossible for him to safely fire a handgun, has shot and killed several animals while on safari.

The eight-member board stopped short, though, of permanently revoking the disability benefits of Charles T. Siedlecki, citing a snafu in notifying him of Thursday’s “duty-disability status review.”
