We have no choice but to bring these events to you because we are certain that the mainstream media aren’t bring them to you.
The mainstream media fall over themselves to bring you fluff stories that depict cops as heroes; our job is to bring you the facts as they really are, good and bad.

Alberto Covarrubias, a Chicago police offi­cer who shot and killed Michael Craig, a Black man who called 911 with a domes­tic vio­lence com­plaint last month, had a his­to­ry of drink­ing and was dis­ci­plined for his on-duty behav­ior in the past, records show.
According to doc­u­ments obtained by the Daily Beast, the fatal shoot­ing of Craig was only Covarrubias’ most recent incident.

In 2018, for­mer super­in­ten­dent Eddie Johnson filed charges with the board regard­ing the officer’s abil­i­ty to per­form his duties fol­low­ing his March 2016 arrest for domes­tic dis­tur­bance dur­ing which Covarrubias report­ed­ly “appeared to be intoxicated.”
The offi­cer was also accused of threat­en­ing a fel­low cop and tam­per­ing with paper­work in a squad car. During his arrest, Covarrubias refused to take a breath­a­lyz­er test and was lat­er charged with assault for threat­en­ing anoth­er officer.

At the time Johnson tes­ti­fied that Covarrubias admit­ted to being “under enor­mous amounts of stress relat­ed to his job as police offi­cer and that he did not drink pri­or to join­ing the Police Department.” He also stat­ed that Covarrubias claimed he was “affect­ed by the pover­ty, despair, and vio­lence that he encoun­tered on a dai­ly basis.”

Though Johnson had been look­ing to have Covarrubias fired, instead the offi­cer was sus­pend­ed, despite being found guilty of all charges against him. His sus­pen­sion last­ed only three months and he was rein­stat­ed short­ly after seek­ing treat­ment for his drink­ing prob­lem and had been cleared for duty by a psychologist.

Now Craig’s fam­i­ly is ques­tion­ing whether Covarrubias was ever real­ly fit to return to work fol­low­ing the trag­ic event that took place in the ear­ly morn­ing hours of Oct. 4 when the offi­cer arrived at Craig’s home.

“[The offi­cer] some­how con­vinced this [police] board that he was all set to go and fit for duty,” attor­ney for the fam­i­ly, Michael Oppenheimer said dur­ing a press con­fer­ence. “The super­in­ten­dent said he was unfit for duty, he was a dan­ger to the com­mu­ni­ty, he was unfit for duty and inca­pable of han­dling a weapon.”

Craig called 911 ask­ing for police because he said his wife was hold­ing a knife to his throat as he lay in bed. Craig’s young son had ran to a neigh­bor to inform them, and they too called the police. When cops arrived they met the lit­tle boy out­side as he explained to them what was going on. Body cam­era footage showed Covarrubias walk­ing up the stairs to Craig’s apart­ment where he and his wife were arguing.

The offi­cer pulled out both his Taser and firearm almost imme­di­ate­ly upon arriv­ing on scene and fired both weapons when enter­ing the bed­room, hit­ting Craig, ABC 7 Chicago report­ed. Covarrubias fired again at Craig when the man tried to sit up. Craig’s old­er son Patrick Jenkins told reporters, “My dad laid there like a dog and died.”

The offi­cer has not been charged as the inves­ti­ga­tion into the inci­dent is still ongoing.
