Christopher Lloyd, Cop In Taped Beating Of Special Ed Student, Jailed On Rape Charge (VIDEO)

A south suburban Chicago police officer who was caught on a security camera beating up a high school special education student in May is in an Indiana jail after being arrested on allegations of rape, the Chicago Tribune reports.

Christopher Lloyd, the Dolton police officer who allegedly broke 15-year-old Marshawn Pitts' nose and resigned shortly after a lawyer for the Pitts family released security camera footage of the beating, was arrested last month on sexual assault charges, his father told the Tribune.

Lloyd, who is being held on $110,000 bail, faces up to 20 years for the rape charges. It turns out neither instance is the police officer's first experience on the other side of the law, the Tribune reports:

A lawsuit filed by his ex-wife, Nicole McKinney, last summer alleges he gunned down her new husband Cornel McKinney in front of their children outside their home on Feb. 17, 2008.

A Robbins police officer at the time, Lloyd was suspended after the shooting but eventually found work with Dolton police in January, his father said.

Lloyd was cleared of any wrongdoing after it was determined he shot the man in self-defense. His father, Charles Lloyd, claims the fight captured on the school security camera was provoked by the teenage student.

cop culture promotes this kind of behavior..­.

[ImissBush]

@ he was so funny on taxi

[noudidnt]

This so-called cop is a thug....Do­lton should be sued into receivership.

[chosn12]

How is it possible a person with his background could get suspended from one police force and get a job at another one? Who is checking backgrounds? This is ridiculous!!

[GoCards1978]

Why the City of Dolton decided to hire this guy before the shooting incident was "cleared up" is beyond me. I can't believe they were that desperate to fill an opening.

[impressiveprogressive]

Someone needs to reopen the case of the shooting

[vinny]

yep

[sngfx]

This poor guy, having to deal with all these people around him provoking him into violence. He's obviously the victim here.

[rabiddog6708]

He will be a victim in prison for certain. His new cell mates will see to it.

[AfricanusI]

Hallelujah sister! someone will definitely see to it. One will be for the man he shot 24 times for self- defense as he put it, and the other for the raped victim who he threatened and the last will be for the Special Education student who was punched mercilessly unprovoked. God will judge him here and now and he will pay dearly.

The Special Education student, God willing' will have the last laugh after the law suit, thank God. But to the Dalton police and the Mayor and also the principal of that school they ought to be fired here and now, for being so reckless in employing someone with that dodgy record and attitude.

He sure puts the dolt in Dolton.

[thespecialone]

Well, this doesn't endure police officers to me at all. I guess it's just as well since there are so many rogue/thug officers running around with badges these days. I don't like or trust any of them. I think N.W.A. put it best.

[sngfx]

I think you mean endear. And you shouldn't paint them all with the same brush; there are mostly good cops out there, you just never hear about them.

[moutonnoir]

Mostly good cops.. Maybe... But they need to stop their culture of tolernace.­.

It is the exact same issue as people in 'the ghetto' who refuse to provide witness to crimes....

[LeftRight]

You're right, I would even say that a majority of police officers are good cops, but the problem is that they accept the bad ones in their midst without trying to stop them!

He shot someone 24 times and got off on self-defense? How?

This is just staggering. And then they allowed him to work in a SCHOOL? That boy is lucky to be alive.

I hope there is a full investigation into the court case that allowed this man to go free after pumping 24 bullets into his ex-wife's new husband. Heads need to roll over this.

[meade]

Good grief. All it takes to get away with murder and/or assault is to get a job as a cop. Who knew.

[thegloriouscause]

it is sad that it takes rape for him to be put in jail, when the assault (and let's face it, if any of us had done it that's what it would have been called) should have put him there first.

[LetMeUnderstandThis]

Send the coward with a badge to jail where he belongs.

[marley22]

The town of Dolton may want to review their hiring standards for their police dept. Just a thought.

[edoxtator]

Ever been to Dolton? There's no way that it could cast a net wide enough to find someone who'd be willing to move there.

[rasputin999]

Can any thug get a uniform and a gun? Why did no one do a checkup on this man?
WHY? WHY? WHY? So many questions, so few answers.

[Lakeview Greg]

So, knowing this guy had been suspended, Dolton hired him anyway.

sheesh.

[monk2000]

Disgusting. He's a murderer.

[noudidnt]

and his father has a ready excuse for him....its always the "other guy" provoking the fight.

A lot of people believed this before seeing this tape and knowing the facts. Why do people immediately give cops the benefit of the doubt when we know there are dirty cops on every police force in the country. This is why bl ac ks have a hard time trusting the cops. Many of them are not qualified to be on the force.
