THE THIRD CASE INVOLVES A FIGHT INSIDE THIS CITY BAR ... OCALLAGHANS.
THATS WHERE OFFICER TERRY ABBATE ALLEGEDLY GOT INTO A FIGHT WITH ANOTHER COP FROM WASHINGTON, D-C.
BOTH OFFICERS WERE OFF-DUTY AT THE TIME.
ABBATE IS THE BROTHER OF ANTHONY ABBATE --ALSO A CHICAGO POLICE OFFICER-- WHO IS FACING A FELONY CHARGE FOR ALLEGEDLY BEATING A FEMALE BARTENDER IN AN INCIDENT CAUGHT ON SURVEILLANCE VIDEO AND BROADCAST AROUND THE WORLD.
THE DEPARTMENT IS ALSO LOOKING INTO A THIRD BAR FIGHT INVOLVING SIX OFF-DUTY OFFICERS, ALSO CAUGHT ON TAPE ... THIS TIME, WITH THOSE OFFICERS ALLEGEDLY BEATING UP FOUR BUSINESSMEN.
THE CONTROVERSY WAS ENOUGH TO GET THE CITYS POLICE SUPERINTENDENT TO RESIGN AFTER MEETING WITH CHICAGO MAYOR RICHARD DALEY ON MONDAY MORNING.
