Actualities in this case are that the man, who was involved in the altercation which led to a gun going off was a homeless man, (not a railway employee), stealing a blanket in the dead of winter on a freezing night. The officer chose to insist on taking back the blanket and when the man resisted there was an altercation. The officer has a history of numerous lodged complaints surrounding incidents of senseless and impulsive attention getting behavior. The corroboration of the facts of this case can be substantiated an issue of The Chicago Tribune reporting from the files from the Class I Railway.
