For the past year, Marsh has been trying to depose Rodriguez about this stop and the 1863 team. It was finally scheduled last Friday, but 90 minutes into it, according to this court filing, Rodriguez left the room during a break and his attorney said the deposition was being terminated because Rodriguez's sergeant needed to take him to Chicago Police Headquarters so that he could be relieved of his police powers. >> A Chicago police officer was answering questions under oath in a federal lawsuit. Then something strange happened. About 90 minutes into the deposition, the officer was suddenly told to stop testifying. He was removed from the deposition, taken to Police Headquarters, and stripped of his police powers. Even the federal judge overseeing the case had the same reaction most people would. Good God, who does that? Now the court wants the city of Chicago to explain why the officer was pulled out of sworn testimony. And this officer isn't the only one. He's reportedly the fifth member of the same tactical team to lose police powers during the investigation. Thin blue lies, baby.
