I put my sweat in this city, I put my sweat in this country. I believe Im a law abiding citizen. Ive never committed nothing wrong, Luis Pedrote-Salinas told assembled media outlets in July 2017 as he announced his lawsuit against the city, then- CPD Supt. Eddie Johnson, and others. Pedrote was added to the police departments massive list of purported gang members after cops saw a can of Bud Light in his car during a traffic stop and then discovered that he had a tattoo that some Latin King gang members wear, he said at the time. In fact, Pedrote claimed, he simply liked the tattoos design. He was 26-years-old and faced deportation at the time of the suit, according to lawyers at the MacArthur Justice Center at Northwestern University, who filed the action on his behalf. The lawsuit was settled late last year in exchange for $2,000 and a letter from CPD saying it cannot verify that Pedrote is currently a gang member as defined by state law, according to a preliminary settlement agreement filed in federal court. On Sunday, prosecutors accused Pedrote of being a cold-blooded killer. According to the allegations, 41-year-old Comcast contractor Francisco Zamora arrived home from work and parked his work truck behind his familys home in the 6000 block of South Artesian around 4:22 p.m. Zamora was preparing to walk into the house when Pedrote walked up and shot him in the forehead at close range, prosecutors said. The bullet flew out the back of Zamoras head. Pedrote held the gun so close to Zamoras head that stippling gunpowder and debris discharged by the firearm was visible around the entrance wound, according to prosecutors. Zamoras wife and daughter found his body in the alley. His son looked out of the house in time to see a man who resembled his neighbor, Pedrote, leaving the scene, prosecutors said. Detectives were interviewing Zamoras wife at her home on Friday evening when they saw Pedrote walk out of a neighboring home with a gun in his waistband, prosecutors said. Cops stopped him, but not before Pedrote allegedly injured three of the officers by resisting. According to prosecutors, cops found Pedrotes passport, a phone, two duffle bags of clothing and toiletries, and a half- ounce of cocaine in his car. Laboratory analysis confirmed that a shell casing found next to Zamoras body came from the gun Pedrote had in his waistband, the state alleged. Prosecutors charged Pedrote with first-degree murder, aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, manufacture-delivery of a controlled substance, and felony resisting of police Judge Susana Ortiz ordered him held without bail.

I don't seem to get poked by computer users. Is there a way to block that silly nonsense? Brenda Dear Brenda The easiest way to do that is to just ignore the pokes.
