A Chicago Lt. John Cannon retired earlier this month amid an investigation into racist and other incendiary comments he made on a Facebook account.
Police Lt. John Cannon, who once served as a watch commander of the Near North Police District, stepped down on Oct. 15 - nearly a year after the Civilian Office of Police Accountability found he showed a "flagrant disregard" for department policies and recommended he be fired.
Max Caproni, executive director of the Chicago Police Board, said Cannon's allegations were never referred to the board, which rules on serious police disciplinary cases.The COPA investigation was sparked by a complaint that also flagged Officer Robert Bakker's connections to the far-right Proud Boys, the oversight agency said. Bakker wasn't fired following a probe, setting off a recent firestorm at City Hall.
"Brave young warriors face to face with an urban terrorist and the better trained professional Police Officer won the day," he wrote. "Excellent work by all the new batch of warriors. Love it." He followed up the complaint with a lawsuit claiming a fellow student sent an email blast on behalf of a lawyers group calling for the removal of Chicago police officers from the school. Cannon contended the appeal amounted to "discriminatory, harassing dissemination of hate speech."
"I think there's been significant damage done to my reputation," he told ABC-7. "So I think the law school has a responsibility to restore me to where I was before these attacks."
