Justice for Aggie

On April 21, 2024, Police Officer Carmen Mostek (Star 8664) placed my life in danger by shooting my dog in the head as I held her in my arms to separate her from Mostek's dog. After this shocking use of excessive and disproportionate force, Mostek walked away with her uninjured dog.
Mostek lacks the mental acuity to be entrusted with the ability to use deadly force and must be dismissed and separated from her gun.

Why is this important?

No one can or should feel safe in the Bridgeport community while a sociopath is armed with a gun and at large. This is especially true when the sociopath is a police officer entrusted with a City-issued firearm.
I can't undo what Mostek did to me or my dog, how she put my life in danger to kill my dog for no reason. But I am determined to see that she never hurts anyone else.

Brace for impact: the COPA report, neutered by CPD brass at the behest of FOP, is about to be dumped, like a load of road apples. See

The COPA report is expected any day now, and undoubtedly will be extremely creative in whitewashing Mostek’s indefensible conduct.
If the Incident wasn’t bad enough, the cover up and retaliation put this outrage in a class by itself. See

It's been well over a year since Carmen Mostek, an off-duty Chicago Cop, came within an inch of shooting me in the face in order to shoot a dog I was holding in my arms. During that time, CPD has taken the bull by the horns and done ... absolutely nothing, except lie, retaliate, and pretend nothing happened.
The COPA Report of Investigation is now being "reviewed," which means it is being neutered and eviscerated by the top brass at CPD to justify continuing to do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
CPD lives in delusion and denial and retaliates against anyone who dares to call out their lies. When I dared to object to being shot in the face, they called me a jagoff, clown, fool, and "pissy-ass," whatever that is.
The fish rots first from the head.

Still no shame at CPD Headquarters. Lots of lies. Zero accountability. See https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1BuQ3XmgUJ/?mibextid=wwXIfr

What's going on at the Chicago Police Department? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. That's the problem. Officer Carmen Mostek comes within an inch of shooting a dog owner in the face to kill his dog, and nothing happens -- except lies, lies, and more lies.

Over a year has passed since April 21, 2024, when Chicago Police Officer Carmen Mostek shot a dog in the head while the dog was being held in her owner's arms, thus committing the crime of reckless endangerment. Then, Mostek, a sworn peace officer, literally ran from the scene, another crime. Then she lied to a 911 operator and her CPD colleagues about the Incident in an effort to blame the victim and avoid responsibility, another crime. Then she lied in official police reports about the Incident, another crime. Then she called the owner's landlord and lied about the incident and the owner's role in it, thereby twice convincing the landlord summarily to evict the owner from his apartment, which constitutes the crime of witness tampering and witness intimidation.

The Chicago COPA (the Civilian Office of Police Accountability) just posted two videos and multiple 911 calls about the Incident, showing that what happened bears no resemblance to what was reported by CPD. The videos show that my dog was killed while in my arms, and I was only about three inches from being shot in the face. See https://www.chicagocopa.org/case/2024-0003540/
Who endangers a human being in order senselessly to kill a dog?
