Rockford Police Chief Has Strong Message For Criminals
During a press conference to announce arrests in March's Cherry Vale Mall shooting, Rockford's Police Chief Dan O'Shea reiterated a message he's been strongly advocating since his first day on the job. If you're going to violently break the law and you're formally charged, expect to be found and expect maximum punishment.
In this video (at the 9:50 mark) O'Shea proved criminal acts in Rockford will not be tolerated, period.
We're tired of the violence. You've heard us say it before, if you're doing these acts we are coming for you. We are going to hunt you down and put you in prison should you be found guilty.
