At the meeting of the GLBT Subcommittee of the Chicago Police District’s 23rd District Aug. 26, private citizens passed a resolution regarding embattled Lakeview officer Richard Fiorito. The resolution is as follows:
“The GLBT Subcommittee of the 23rd District calls upon command-level Chicago Police staff to remove Officer Richard Fiorito’s police powers pending resolution of the serious internal and federal civil rights charges pending against him. Furthermore, given the evidence of apparent criminal behavior, we believe there is probable cause for the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office to file criminal charges against Fiorito for Perjury, False Arrest and False Imprisonment. We call upon them to file such charges immediately.”
