The officer is a very good friend of mine that was judge with out knowing the actual truth to the story or incident that occured on such date. As of this date, Ofc. Castillo has won criminal/civil case and will be put back working and protecting the streets of Chicago. Good job Ofc. Castillo and may god keep you safe in the streets along with all fellow officers

Hi Daddysgyrl,

Thanks for stopping by.

I fully support all officers who are out there serving and protecting us and keeping society safe.

I also know that officers are sometimes the victims of circumstance and can end up being mistreated. I wrote a post about the injustice done to Chicago police officer Mike Mette.

I bet things would have been different if the officer had called 911 and let the local police know that he was following the driver.

However, I do support the rule that officers in unmarked cars have to wear uniforms.

There are too many crazy people out there who would try to pretend that they were officers by flashing their lights if there wasn’t a uniform (or marked car) requirement.

As a personal friend of officer Castillo i can say that i know for a fact in his mind he thought he was doing the right thing….to a point. in his head he figured he had to “serve and protect” weather he was on duty or not. But under no circumstance is it right. I Come from a long line of officers from my father and sister to uncles and other extended family and i know crazy from reasonable and he knows he was wrong. i also have freinds on Indiana forces including county and state cops and the same holds true for them…help if you can and if you cant then call someone who will. if its a life or death situation then yes jump in , but if not then give it to the guys who know their own backyard. he was wrong flat out! and i hat the fact that someone who risks their life everyday for people in my life would chose to do such a stupid thing. thats right CHOSE.
