Oh, wait, that's the so-called "justice" system.

In our latest round of "Guess that Demographic - Democrat voters gone wild edition," from Chiraq, we have this gem:

According to prosecutors, Chicago Police Officer Ed Poppish was responding to shots fired in June 2022 when he saw Temple lying half-naked in the street in the 4400 block of West Jackson and stopped to help her. As Poppish radioed for an ambulance, Temple got up from the pavement, started saying his name repeatedly, and walked around him to get into the squad car’s driver’s seat, according to officials.

Poppish tried to stop her, but she allegedly told him, “Let me go. This has nothing to do with you.”

Two videos showing what happened next quickly went viral. One came from a city surveillance camera. And this one, which we’ve shortened slightly to avoid showing Temple’s partially nude body, was recorded by a witness.

As the squad car reversed, it dragged Poppish into another vehicle, and he struck his head. A prosecutor who first filed the charges against Temple said it was “a miracle” that he survived. Poppish received six stitches for a head injury and suffered a concussion.

Prosecutors said shortly after the incident that Temple drove the squad car to a gas station, got out while it was still rolling, went into the station, came back out, and drove away with the patrol car again.

Then, she drove onto the inbound Eisenhower Expressway, weaving in and out of traffic at 97 MPH, and was still going 76 MPH when she exited at Sacramento Boulevard and started running red lights on surface streets, prosecutors alleged. She struck five occupied cars, got out, and ran down the block until cops arrested her.

Tell us you want to get the case thrown out of court by over-charging the defendant without telling us. Hmmm...that seems to be a pattern with prosecutors - the ones who don't just out-and-out let the criminal...sorry, alleged criminal, go.

Here you are, sweetheart: you're criminally insane, but you're free to go now. Wait, that seems to be at least a trend.

Prosecutors initially claimed that the gunfire Poppish was responding to was caused by Temple shooting at a bystander, who was not injured.

While the case was pending, Temple landed a job as a lead accountant at the city’s Department of Family and Support Services. She lost the job earlier this year after it was publicly revealed that the city had hired someone to be an accountant while they were awaiting trial for allegedly trying to kill a Chicago police officer.

What joke Chicago is. A city run and ruled by the usual suspects.
