----------------------------------------------------------------


 
Meanwhile, in Chicago, a police commander accused of putting his gun in
a man's mouth has been acquitted by a judge. Commander Glenn Evans said
he chased the man, Ricky Williams, because he saw a gun in his hand.
Commander Evans was accused of holding a Taser to Williams' groin,
shoving his gun in Williams' mouth and threatening to kill him if he
didn't reveal the gun's location. The judge acquitted Evans, after
questioning Williams' reliability.
