Chicago police officers appear
Four police officers used their badges and authority to "terrorize and steal" from Chicago residents, a prosecutor said Friday as the officers made their first court appearances on charges including armed violence and home invasion.
One officer is accused of wrongfully entering a man's house, breaking into his safe and stealing a rookie card of baseball legend Mickey Mantle. Prosecutors said the officers targeted Hispanics and would often file drug charges against their victims, but then fail to appear in court, causing the charges to be dismissed.

India: Police under scanner in
The crackdown on the officers of the Kolkata Police in the Rizwanur Rehman case seems to have begun in right earnest.
On Friday, the government made its intention known to remove two junior officers from their posts and on Saturday the CID called in two deputy commissioners of police.
The spotlight is now on Police Commissioner Prasun Mukherjee and whether he will be called next by the CID for questioning.
Deputy Commissioners Ajoy Kumar and Gyanwant Singh made a hasty exit from the CID headquarters at the end of a grueling three and a half hour interrogation in the Rizwanur Rehman case on Saturday.
The two officers were summoned after Assistant Commissioner Sukanti Chakraborty and sub inspector Krishnendu Das told the CID last week that they had acted in the Rizwanur case on orders from their seniors.
The two junior officers had allegedly harassed Rizwanur for marrying Priyanka Todi against her family's wishes. Rizwanur was found dead by some rail tracks in Kolkata on September 21.
''In the course of the investigations into the unnatural death case of Rizwanur Rehman, the Deputy Commissioners Gyanwant Singh and Ajoy Kumer were examined by the department today, said N N Pandey, DIG, CID.
Besides being named by their juniors, the two deputy commissioners are mentioned by Rizwanur in his dossier of police harassment ever since his marriage to Priyanka on August 18.
What Rizwanur wrote:
Deputy Commissioner Ajoy Kumar gave him two options on September 8. Either send Priyanka home for a week or face arrest on abduction and theft charges
On September 4, Gyanwant Singh pressurised Priyanaka for over an hour to return to her parents. She said the mental torture was becoming too much for her
Prasun Mukherjee is not mentioned in Rizwanur's dossier. But that Mukherjee met Priyanka's father Ashok Todi about the marriage has been confirmed by cricketer Snehashish Ganguly who introduced the two of them.
So, hope the Police Commissioner is summoned by the CID next.
