Two Chicago police officers placed on desk duty pending investigation into train station shooting.
A man who was passing between two subway cars was shot by police during a struggle with officers.
The officers, whose names haven't been released, were placed on desk duty after Friday's shooting, in keeping with the department's policy in cases in which officers shoot people. Beck's move Wednesday meant the pair would have to turn in their weapons and would lose their power to make arrests until the investigation into the shooting concludes.
The Fraternal Order of Police, the police officers'union, reacted angrily to Beck's decision to strip the two officers of their police powers. The widely circulated video taken by someone who was in the station shows a male officer lying on top of the suspect at the base of an escalator and struggling to keep the man still. The man can be heard saying, “I did nothing to you,” as the officer keeps telling him, “Stop resisting.” As they stand up, a female officer appears to try to pepper spray the man's face, before telling the man to show his hands so the officers can handcuff him.
