COPA awarded Officer Ella French a 3 day suspension posthumously.
That's right, a deceased officer, one who died by the hands of a shitbag, has to lose 3 days of pay for... Checks notes... Late activation of a BWC and failure to complete a stop report as a PPO.

Before anyone's panties get in a bind, I'm not excusing the punishment for the error made.
This is another dog and pony show that a city agency can put on.
COPA can hold up stats and herald loudly "LOOKIE WHAT WE DID! WE SUSPENDED X AMOUNT OF OFFICERS FOR AN AVERAGE OF X DAYS"

When the lead suspect in a homicide or shooting case gets killed you know what happens?
The case gets closed due to the death. There is no one to prosecute, so it goes away.

Officer French can't grieve the suspension and request a reduction. She can't even grieve the mark on her record at all. She was a new officer, and we all make mistakes, she didn't get a chance to learn from it.
It should be a suspension, it should have been a spar.

But once again NO ONE USES THEIR FUCKING BRAINS in this city.
Not once, I'm sure, did someone at COPA think "hey, maybe we should just mark a recommendation and close the file since she's dead".
They wanted that WIN category tic mark.

They wanted to show they are tough on those rogue cops always harassin' people, never catching the real killers.
And here we are, left scratching our heads over stupidity, lack of etiquette, lack of any real human dignity.

But I get it. I've been to COPA, I know there are a few (very few) normal humans there who recognize the difference between mistakes and egregious actions.
But then there are the saviors.
The SJWs.
The Batman-esque vigilantes out there fighting against the evil that is the Chicago Police Department.
Those are the Salem judges, they stand proud to administer the scarlet letter, exemplary officer be damned!

They are the Browns, Lightfoots, Foxxs and Carters of COPA.
They are the saviors of their own image at the expense of anyone who dares stand in their way.

This city and it's politicians I think are beyond saving.
Just grab yourself a comfy chair and a fiddle, and watch Rome burn.
