Does Officer Off on FMLA Have to Go to Court?

Here is an interesting lawsuit, yes another one against the fine City of Northlake Illinois and Police Chief Dennis Koletsos.
Brings up the question of whether an Officer who is off on FMLA have to go to court when subpoenaed?
Without knowing the specifics in this case, it sounds like this officer refused to go to court while off on FMLA and was eventually fired.
Does this officer have a good case? We will see…

    Dennis I believe this is the first time you had an Officer fight and not resign.
    I hope this town knows that he can come back after this is all said and done.
    I read the motion with the part that said I have people filling in for you. Wasn’t that your fault with all the turn over. Why is it an officer’s fault? Did this officer Rasic run the shift or did you Chief Koletsos. I read some of the other commits and you had a Det. leave a desk job so you can punish someone from the street. All I can say from the northside is fuck you.

    Formation of new law:
    Chief Koletsos qualified immunity motion to dismiss denied.
    This issue was never decided in our jurisdiction.
    Big thank you to
    Daniel Rasic.

    I just seen the motion.
    I heard you guys did not even support a fellow officer with a child born in danger of her life.
    Is it all rookies in this department?
    Please someone answer this one I’ve been a cop for 25 years and nothing comes close to this.

    Dan the way you keep your job with Koletsos is to cry in his office.
    I’ve heard many officers do this when they fuck up.
    I know many of them are pussies and your not but that’s the way you keep your job. The ego of Dennis is large.

    Did this Chief even find out what the problem was at home with this officer before going after him?

    No
    Can not force someone into court unless your the Judge. All the rest tampers with the correct verdict.

    Read the law
