Filing this one under “You Gotta Lotta Fuckin’ Nerve.” Robert Rialmo, the Chicago cop who shot Quintonio LeGrier seven times the day after Christmas, accidentally killing neighbor Bettie Jones at the same time, is planning on suing Quintonio’s estate. He says that Quintonio assaulted him, which caused him emotional distress.

Emotional distress.

Cops filing suit against the people they have brutalized is not new but that doesn’t make it any less despicable. But to realize now that Quintonio LeGrier called 911 three times the morning of his death; was spoken to rudely and hung up on twice; then, the cop who shot both him and his neighbor is going to sue him—Quintonio, the one who’s dead—for emotional distress? That’s just … I can’t.

Quintonio’s father filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the city about four days after the shooting. A hearing on that suit is what revealed Rialmo’s plans.
