Police Shooting
Police shot a person on the Far South Side early Sunday in the area of the Altgeld Gardens public housing complex.
The shooting happened about 1:15 a.m. at East 131st Street and South Langley Avenue.
Officers from the Calumet District were confronted by an armed offender there, according to police News Affairs. Numerous 10-1 calls, an urgent request for assistance by an officer, were made on police radio about that time for that location.
Cops ok, so that's the good news. Every call in 005 lately seems to be a 10-1. Watch your backs, watch your partner's back. It isn't getting any better any time soon.

Glad the officers are ok.
Be safe out there.
Officers in 005, please be careful in the gardens. It's going to get much worse down there
I do not know why I am bothering to respond to all the hate thrown at me.
But... To that 20 yr as a dick, you are a schmuck. You must of been a Youth Officer before you bidded in to "ATTEMPT" to be a dick.
Any worthless S.V.U fools can clear a murder in area 1 & 2. But a kid pushing a beat car could do the same shit. It does not take a genuis to solve anything in Area's 1 & 2. The biggest mistake the dept. made was making these useless S.V.U. (Youth Officers) get a detective star.
They bidded out of S.V.U. units and went to the detective side. These fucks were never the police and now dicks. Any case they touch, becomes a cluster fuck.
The dept. should recall everyone of these assholes, and send them back to S.V.U. were they can function in just processing D/C.' for patrol.
I have solved more heater cases, mostly cases years old, then you alleged dicks made for C.D.T.P.
The Supt. is and will be the boss for 3 more years. This good man has more street smarts as any true veteran street copper.
I rest my case. To all the cry babies o.t.j. You should be making $12.00 @ hour working P.T.
Some of you fucks would beef if the city gave you idiots all your toys (Rifles, etc) new cars, and a 20 % raise.
YOU beefers do not deserve to wear the uniform, the Supt of Police has proven his net worth to us silent vets o.t.j. This man wears the uniform because he is "The Man". PERIOD !!!
Have a nice day !!!!
Skeleton crew, backlogs, no back up, no manpower, ghost cars - any or all will lead to the more and more frequent 10-1's being called.
Not to mention the every so popular - "fuck you white honkie police - Obama da president so fuck you bitch" being spit in caucasian police officers faces everyday now.
I work in 005. I'll you something...we need help in the Gardens. That 10-1 was no joke! My question: Where was the "ELITE" MSF?
Not one of you PUSSYS came to help us? City wide 10-1 and the ELITE Mobile Strike Farce couldn't show up?
You guys are too worthless for words. Keep thinking you are something running around the Westside. You want a challenge? Come to 005...Better bring your "A" game, cuz these REAL killas we got play for keeps!

Wait a minute. Isn't 005, the Gardens, the cradle of community activism?
Obviously citizenship classes were not part of the activist's agenda. Think the new admin gives a fuck about that early stepping stone??
i guess everyone who wants the 10hr day/old housing schedule in 005 will work their ass off for it. but at least c dub is gone
Be careful down there, and all if us citywide, too. We are short and getting shorter of manpower, and the savages are bold and getting bolder; and we know the only way to survive is to CYA, which won't be aided by the administrtion or the citizens. The good guys will always win, but it is getting harder.
And quit reacting to "TENURED DET. of POLICE.", he's obviously a troll; unless he drank the Kool-Aide, in which case he won't be around much longer anyway.

ALL OTHER CITY INCIDENT THESE UNITS MUST BE RE-DEPLOYED. LET'S SEE YOU RESPOND TO A 10-1 MORE THAN ONE DIST AWAY WITHOUT PERMISSION!
guess it was really bad, far location assist officers stuck by train and no citywide units there to help. It has always been that by 0200 you are on your own. No help out there.
To TENURED DICKHEAD, You really don't have a clue what is involved with SVU cases. It is not just processing. So keep your mouth shut.
"...you should be making $12.00@hour working p.t....."
Wow--good money. Sign me up.

i agree with you here, all these clown units that downtown comes up with and tells these officer "elite" well whenever the shit hits the fan nobody but the watch and districts are there. i don't work in 005, however 007 is no different. screw all these other units while their at lunch.
I was thinking the J-Fed brown noser was Masters.
I bet I'm right!!

What happened?
Did the midget extend jody's contract for a fourth year?
Or are you just an idiot?
MSF pussies were out on Chicago a couple nights ago yucking it up with the good citizenry who were putting on an impromptu dance show for the two year wonders on up to their Lieutenant. Roley Poley MSF females RULE yo.

Stop patting yourself on the back pal, your job isn't all that, you just waived the youth spot until det. came along, so what; you were fortunate, or maybe not, to get Violent when you made it. The cases you get are just as easy as the others, the gangbanger shootings and the domestics are real tough, the offenders are always know and identified, the hard part is getting someone to talk. There are not many "whodunits" on this job, and when you do get one it gets fucked up by everyone who gets involved because it's a "heater" case. Now go suspend another one while you talk about how great you are, the only difference between you and youth is that they were smart enough to take the promotion when it came up... you are no better than them....

i agree with the officer who stated that the mobile nonsense force is never around. we could use them in all of area 2! i know 004,005,006 and even 003 are heating up even when its cold out. they don't care over here... they love to shoot and have no remorse.

Easy super cop. Youth officers were handling cases that would make a super hero like yourself cry. They handled terrible cases and their paper was ALWAYS better than your one line supps.
Only the real idiots thought that Youth only processes the kids.
It isn't the easiest thing in the world to get some father to admit that he raped his own child, but time and time again, youth officers were able to get the job done.
It was never easy to get a case approved when your victim can't tell you what happened, but youth officers came through.
You have no idea what you are talking about.
Go write another one line sup.
Fool.
to TENURED DET, of POLICE,,,,
why are your comments here under the category of a police shooting.....WTF are you talking about HATE THROWN AT ME????
Your comments about the SUPT....
if you had any time on the job you would know he is a FED.....
FEDs don't see shades of grey they see black or white. Everything on this job comes in shades of grey.
He is the worst thing I have seen in this department in 26 years. He is horrible for morale and is a carboard cutter public speaker.
I participated in the Ride to remember in August(?). There were several speakers in regards to fallen P.O.'s. The first was Cline. Say what you will about Cline but at least his speech was from the HEART. Then came the SUPT. He talked for 2 seconds and acted like he was reading from a 3 x 5 card. No feeling whatsoever....
I've only met CLINE on a handful of occassions and every time he saw me he would call me by my first name. Pretty impressive for a guy that sees lots of police on a daily basis. Met the SUPT. on the steet in his first few days with his entourage. Never bothered to walk up to anyone and shake their hand or say Hey how's it going. It was a shots fired call and you would think, me being the first to respond he would speak to me. Nope just ignored everyone.....He is not a people or police person.... you can have him....

When I was in TRU (pre TW), I was asked why my gps pinged me going 90mph on the highway towards a 10-1 in 006 when we were supposed to be in 011. . I was gassing up on iron and thought I could make a difference. Nobody gave me shit for it.
Any boss who would slam a copper for responding to a 10-1 deserves to be demoted. Most people feel the same. Hide behind your policies MSF'er, they'll help you out a lot when you're getting your ass beat in alligator gardens.
Tenured Dick- you will find out no one cares about your opinion. It just takes time to realize it.

Fucking typical example of a MSF or TRU 2 year wonder. If an Officer calls a 10-1 and it is possible I fucking go regardless of whose permission I have. (I would probably even go to to a TRU initiated 10-1) Whats your boss going to do, dump you for responding to an officer in distress call? You really need to go back to the district an learn how to be the police first before you go to a "Special Unit." Typical TRU dork.

Beverly is nice but 2 close to the ghetto which is 005. Mt. Greenwood in 022 is ok, Garfield Ridge in 008is nice (Probably closest to 010), and Jefferson Park in 016 is nice.
1st of all, thank God the coppers are ok and bad guys down for the count...thats all that matters. Regardless what district it occured or what Unit/district member pulled the trigger, those officers made it home that night alive to their families.
We are all Chicago coppers, remember that. Enough of the bullshit copper bashing already. Its gettin fkn old. Respect eachother!! Some of u guys act like teenagers on MySpace!!

Stay away from Beverly You never know if that dude that's been hanging around is your neighbor or one of his Englewood cousins. Take a ride through there before tou buy.
i agree with you here, all these clown units that downtown comes up with and tells these officer "elite" well whenever the shit hits the fan nobody but the watch and districts are there. i don't work in 005, however 007 is no different. screw all these other units while their at lunch.
I was in TRU and we ALWAYS went to a 10-1 if we were even remotely close, the problem with 005 is the geography, if you ever worked there you would know, the gardens are very isolated from the rest of the district, you can get there quick if you are near I-94, if not forget it, it's nuts! especially if you catch one of the numerous trains always running through there, and when you get there it's a maze of rowhouses everywhere, sometimes it isn't even feasable to try and get there from the north end in time to be of any use (95th st to 131st).

Nobody ever questioned anyone about going to a 10-1 in a neighboring district in TRU, unless the 10-1 was in 011 and you were working in 007, common sense has to prevail, most 10-1's are slowed down 30 seconds after being called....
tenured det- what a putz- did you work 99 the whole two years you were in patrol because nobody would work with your simple simon ass. you should have stuck with writing movers and bus checks.
"Your comments about the SUPT....
if you had any time on the job you would know he is a FED.....
FEDs don't see shades of grey they see black or white. Everything on this job comes in shades of grey. "
To the above moron ! You sir must be in S.V.U. You moron(s) in S.V.U. charge kids with felonies only because you can without an A.S.A. approval.
I have seen many kids get hit with a b.s. felony by you alleged elite desk jockeys. That is really grand, nit-wit's. You S.V.U. empty holsters, make Missy the parking ticket Guru in 018 look like John Wayne in the war movies.
When I made Dick, 25 years ago, I got made off a list. Youth
officer(s) got their "Kid enforcement status" because no one in their right mind or was a working P.O. wanted it.
You S.V.U. nka, glorified "Meter maids", or should I say just plain ass Youth Officers should wear a skirt (1980') and carry a 32 cal. Rev.
You Youth officers were dogs in patrol and wanted to just sit in a district processing arrests from the real police from patrol. Also, you Youth officers feared the streets.
I bet you "Youth Officers" have a million war stories to tell !!!
Is it true to assume the elite of your kind work the processing center on Pershing Road ? I bet you see your M.D. often from all the boils you get from sitting on your ass for 8 hours.
Again, for all the babies that want a new assault rifle. Do you really want one because you think you can scare the bangers on the street.?
You newbies get no respect only because you treat anyone you come in contact with... an attitude & dis-repect.
You are a factor why copper' get no respect like us TENURED copper's. In the 80' they respected us and feared us.
In regards to the above comment about the fed's. I have had many investigations with many agents assigned to different branches.
They were ALL top notch. Agent's of the F.B.I. really do not get into what copper' do unless it is totally major. Also, when they have to, they find no joy locking up a copper.
Cozzi, is a legend in his own mind who took a hit only because he was a fool who wanted to smack someone on video. He should of never became the police, he should of went into the corrections field.
So once again... STFU.
Have a nice day... after you read this after your 3 hours in the gin-mill after work.

Hey asshole, I have responded to 10-1's more than one district away and I will continue to do so. If it's bad enough to come over our zone then it's bad enough for me to risk taking time for. Unlike pussy fucks like you, I'll take 30 days to save another coppers life and unlike you, I won't run around demanding to be praised for doing it. It's ass kissing company boys like yourself that have made this job turn to shit. Sad thing is, I bet you really do think you are elite

If you live in Mt Greenwood you could drive your house to work every day!!!
The location of Altgeld Gardens makes response time for assisting units much too long. I worked there when I was assigned to PHS right after the CHA-CHA police were disbanded. The project complex is bounded by railroad tracks, Beaubien Woods and 130th St. Beat 533 is isolated from other beats in 005 let alone other districts. Let's not dog MSF and TRU for not responding they would've if they could have. It is the city that put those officers in harms way. When I worked midnights in the Gardens we had a total of two cars on patrol, us and Beat 533 (which is probably more than they have there now) and anyone who has worked the 'jects will tell you they can go up for grabs in a heartbeat. To the officers working in isolated areas such as Altgeld be careful, watch your partners backs and don't take any unnecessary risks.

Im not sure where MSF was deployed but I can tell you TRU did respond coming from 004. After they got there that fool Riggenbock tried to assign them to guard the crime scene so he could put his cars up and clear. THATS why TRU and MSF hesitate to respond.

Riggenbock is a solid boss who was always good to us when I was in TRU, he probably was dealing with manpower problems, like the rest of the city, and needed your help for a while; he's the same guy you need help from when you have trrs etc. so quit bitching. I can't believe you would hesitate to respond to a 10-1 because you might have to helpmout at a crime scene, you're a jagoff..
The other problem is most of these newbies have no idea how to work in the jects, how to respond and what to expect, and how quick it goes to shit, since most have been hired since the majority of housing has been dismantled, and it's a shame, the jects were a great training ground. ABLA, Rockwell, Taylor, Ogden courts, Ickes, Cabrini, worked them all, great experience.....

Wait wait wait. Are you saying TRU and MSF were worried about crime scene duty when they heard about the 10-1 instead of helping a fellow officer? I don't like either group and I don't believe that

You couldn't be more right my housing brother. But let us not forget Stateway, Dearborns, Ida, the parties on the 15th floor with only waist high railings of the Hilliards and my personal favorite the Prairie Courts. One thing is for certain it was a real character builder that the new P.O.'s will never experiance. Stay safe all, we are alone.
I guess all you alphabet police are too good to guard a crime scene.
Great job Ken, glad your all right man.
Glad 2 see your okay Ken. Guys, keep up on your fiream/shooting skills. 2 to the head 1 to the chest and repeat process if needed. There's a Sgt. in 005 that said don't shoot unless you have been shot at first! R U fucking kiding me. But, that's what he said!!!!
Im not sure where MSF was deployed but I can tell you TRU did respond coming from 004. After they got there that fool Riggenbock tried to assign them to guard the crime scene so he could put his cars up and clear. THATS why TRU and MSF hesitate to respond.

Yeah, God forbid you have to help out for a short time with an unruly crowd at a crime scene. You are the elite TRU and there are DOPW arrests to be made. No wonder so many think you guys are tools. By the way, after holding the crime scene, without the help of TRU, a grid search was conducted and another gun recovered.
You couldn't be more right my housing brother.
