FBI Shoots Bank Robber
After he got into the front seat of a feeb car and tried to run over an agent:
The suspect had robbed a TCF Bank branch earlier Monday morning in the 4300 block of North Sheridan Road and was tracked to the 800 block of North Michigan Avenue, according to the FBI.
After a short foot chase, the suspect was apprehended, according to a release from the FBI. While he was being taken into custody, the man somehow managed to get behind the wheel of an FBI vehicle, then tried to run over one of the arresting FBI agents with that car, the release said. A second FBI agent, fearing for his partner's safety, fired one round from his service weapon into the car, striking the suspect.
No word if the robber was getting some last minute shopping done.

Oh yeah, that's just our stupid policy, not the FEDS, maybe you change that order Weiss.
Wonder why he was cuffed in the front??
In the academy when I was learned to hand-cuff offenders they told us PPO's NEVER cuff in the front cause bad things can happen.
Glad to see the Agent(s) are ok. But next time kiddies, stick to locking up dirty politicians! They are a lot less dangerous, and you can get hurt out there!
fired into a car which was the only weapon? funny how the feds are allowed to do it but jody would hang us for it.
No shit! I had no idea those guys carried guns. I'm gonna be more careful around them. Everytime I saw J-Fed, he just had that cat.
Wow, now that is some cool driving skills there. How does a man "taken into custody" (he'd be handcuffed at that point) drive a vehicle with his hands behind his back????
Too cool ....
If you placed CPD in all places in lieu of FBI how many attorney's would be in line already????
Now THAT sounds more like a Bureau op.
I live very close to the TCF bank that was robbed. Just curious if there is any local angle to this robbery. Has there been any news source that has named the suspect? I haven't been able to find any published reports.
im sure city hall will vote to give this piece of shit or his family some money
First of all glad all law enforcement ok BUT the fucking scum-times strikes againg!!!
Metro & Tri-State
$2.25 mil. for family of boy killed by cop?
Suspect shot while trying to run over FBI agent
boy? you assholes, he was a fucking home invader!!!
Suspect was shot after a bank robber in the feebs own car!!
Useless reporters, make this "boy" out to be some innocent, because the victim was a cop. At least someone in the city coucil stood up and said wait a minute, 2.5 million to a armed robber...
HOW COME THE F.B.I. COULD NOT SHOOT OR WOULD NOT SHOOT THE
ASSH*&E THAT SHOT DET. AIRHART (sic) NOT TOO LONG AGO. OH THATS RIGHT, IT WAS JUST A CHICAGO COPPER. THEY DON'T WANT TO SHOOT ANY ONE FOR SHOOTING ONE OF US BUT HEAVEN FORBID SOMEONE TAKES A BANKS INSURED MONEY THEN THEY SHOOT TO KILL (ass hats)
I wonder if J-Fed is going to contact the U.S. Attorney to see if this FBI agent can be charged federally like he did with Bill Cozzi?
Maybe the feds should go through our academy training and learn how to properly cuff and secure an offender. WOULDN'T YOU AGREE jODY?
fired into a car which was the only weapon?
-----------------------------------
I wonder then what would happen if this situation involved the CPD and after the officer(s) involved followed G.O. and just stepped out of the way and 1 block later some minority mom with her kids got mowed down by fleeing offender, who would be at fault?
I bet he is now going to sue the FBI, but they will fight the case and win.

If they pay out on this burke should be impeached! If this happens why should we bother buying city stickers or plates of paying taxes? I have been done writing tickets with this kind of bullshit why bother?
good to see at least ONE law enforcement agency can lock up actual bad guys... Not like our rough and tumblinCPD guys comin in with dime bags, piss bumbs, and trumped up utter and complete BULLSHIT!!! Nice job, Feds
I haven't been able to find any published reports.

dont worry...Im sure 23 tac is ALL over this one!
Good for the FBI .....
The fact that they put dude in a car without any supervision tickles the shit out of me.
Leave the police work to the police round eyes. Go back to paper shuffling and setting up wiretaps. It's dangerous out there.
Did Jody march the FBI agent down to the nearest district for an Administrative Blow?
FBI can use their weapons if physically attacked in any way. The thinking is that since they are armed, if they are struck and become incapacitated in any way, now the bad guy has a gun. Much more liberal policy that actually uses common sense and officer safety instead of political bullshit...can you imagine if we had the same? There would be several police shootings a night in many districts!
30 pending for shooting into the vehicle. Wait, he isnt CPD?
Hero to the people then.

Are you really that fucking stupid?
The feds had to shoot. Otherwise, he would have got away with their christmas shopping on the back seat of the car.
I'm sure you have probably seen this or heard of it, either way it opens up discussion for allowing police officers the means to even the odds on the streets in relation to firepower. Stay safe and happy holidays to all.

Someone with long arm lengths (I've got 36 inch sleeves) could conceivably be handcuffed in back and "wiggle" their butt thru,ending up with hands in front.
holy houdini-- cuffed and shackled and still able to drive the car. they should have shot the cocksucker five more times. good read in the sun times yesterday- a picture of fitzgerald and also pictures of all the politicians he has beheaded in his 8 years here. can we trade fitzgerald for weis.
Well, I guess the FEDS are just gonna havta pony up 2.3 million dollars for all the pain and suffering this shitstick and his poor family are having to endure.
At least this guy wasn't holding a baby and didn't have his back to the agent like at Ruby Ridge.
Tracked him from Sheridan all the way downtown? What were they going to do follow him back to his residence and have another CPD Detective try and deliver a parcel to his door?!
Fearful
Ball-less
Intellectuals
So it has been said, so it shall be written............

Hey asshat, although I am no big fan of his, he did not put the policy into effect...Blame Hillard or Cline (can't remember which one, but pretty sure it was TH)...

Absolutely. Only cuff in the front if you have the full belt and shackle setup to immobilize the asshole.
good story but it didn't quite go go down like they said. even the FBI can fuck up.
Let's see boys and girls, didn't CPD have one escape from custody and walk out of the district just a few days ago? Guy cuffed in back, slipped out of cuffs and made his break. Nice shooting by the agent, one shot through the moving vehicle and hits target. Wish we could have that kind of range time to hit our moving targets! One less pos on the street for awhile.
I'm sure this will be ruled a good shoot as it should be, however if this had been a CPD situation would we be afforded the same ruling? A few years ago we were told we had to "Move out of the way" and they give us the disclaimer about not unreasonably conforming to the order. Who judges whats reasonable and whats not during this kind of situation (after the fact of course)? The review board? The NEW OPS? The Superintendent? The Mayor? It's just this kind of order that can get us killed because of hesitation and this order should be rescinded.It was garbage then and it's garbage now.
Heard the bad guy was just trying to drive to the station because the bolonga sandwiches were being served.

Yes I know that part of the order too, Sarge. But that's just put there to protect the city from liability when a copper gets run over and then sues city for following such silly restrictive policy. They still would hang you if had the chance to move, but chose to hold your ground.
And earlier post was right, Weiss didn't put that G.O. in place, but he CAN authorize it's removal.
And Weiss, check out that stupid FBI streaming video(Maybe you starred in it) they show us of 500 hundred rounds being shot into a Box Chevy and it still runs after being lit up. If they really wanted an accurate test, they should've left a ballistic gelatin dummy in the driver's seat and seen how many hits it took.
While much of the pent up resentment against the FBI displayed on this blog is certainly justified, they are to be congratulated for their recent positive developments in the fields of aggressively investigating political corruption/organized crime and street policing. Shooting a bank robber is always a worthy goal. We are merely jealous that our rules make it nearly an impossibility.
023 Tact was all over that one!
Not quite, we where in the station doing DPWs. Remember it's a numbers game! Even though we wore our undercover Old Navy painters pants we were nowhere near it!
The fbi follows federal alws and can do this, wait a minute why then can daley violate every federal alw allowing all the illegals to take our money and he is not arrested? Who is daley paying off?
Not surprising. For all they do have, Feds don't have many transport vehicles. Remember one time in the mid 60's I saw two of them actually cabbed it to the MCC with a prisoner!
The round table went something like this: The above subject attempted to escape and injure a federal agent of the U.S. government,we busted a couple a caps in dat ass and dat be da end of story.No we will not be taking any questions from OPS,IPRA,OPRAH,MOPHRAH,DOPEY,SNEEZY and little orphan Annie,you can all leave now.Don't let the door knob hit you where the good lord splitcha and that's right between the ass crack.
chicago or no Chicago,will not dare file a law suit,would get tossed out before the ink dried and the lawyer stupid enough to file it would be immedaitely investigated.
Keep in mind that the fed operate on a different plain than CPD,they actually trust the field agents and have faith in their ability to do the job and not allow some nieghborhood rent-a-rev. who's trying to make a name for himself too just walk up and question the agent's good name.If you have a complaint/dout about the agents credability you better have proof and not base it on some crack head who was not on scene but says "yes a saw everything and they excuted him for no reason,just shot him down like a dog ".Remember the feds will have them sign a sworn statement and if's proven that the statement was falsified they will be proscuted to the fullest extent of the law.Unlike our department they will take a complaint no matter how outlandish and untruthful it turns out to be they will not take it any further because the department leader's are a bunch of gutless cowards.
What would you expect from the,
"Office Police"?
1.Cuff in front?
2.Leave the engine running?
3.Office Police does not know the importance of shot placement.
Hey Office Po-Po go back to the academy and learn some officer safety and learn how to handle your weapon.
If CPD did this J-Feds metro sexual ass would have fired us
Re: 16 Dec 08 @ 1050hrs ... "ballistic gelatin dummy"??? Are you fucking kidding? We can't get a decent contract and you want these asshats to start playing with fucking Jello??? You'd never find anyone on 35th who can read and follow the goddamn instructions (Empty contents into water/stir/chill) ... oh shit - I just gave away question #1 on the next Lt.'s exam - sorry!
