Police shot and wounded a person on the South Side early this morning, police said.

An officer shot someone near 109th and State Streets about 12:15 a.m., a police spokeswoman said.

No further information was immediately available.

Way to start off the year. Hope good guys are ok.

you are right about Doty, but wouldn't this incident fall on the Sgt on scene, then the Watch commander? There has to be more to the story, why would he just punch a p/o for no reason? But if it is as your post states, a CR and lawsuit should be in order..

Dear SCC,

Now that I've learned that you get one dollar ($1) for every hit on your blog, I have decided to start doing my own blog...

Just between you and I, though, I think I may have some marketing ideas that may increase your # of hits and ultimately, your bottom line...

I'm thinking of using a word like 'naked' or 'sexy' or both in my blog title, like maybe "Naked Women And Sexy City Cops"...

Who could resist checking out a blog with that title? Anyway, we'll link to each others blogs and I think you can see where this is going!!! Call me, we'll do lunch!

Oh, and Congrats on winning the Best Police Blog of 2008!!!

SCC thanks for providing a place for real coppers to vent. Although the one complaint i have is guys screwing each other on here. If that could stop along with the childish 6th grade comments the blog would be much better. And for you freaks, i dont mean screwing each other physically!!!!!!!

Thank You SCC for letting this old retired copper keep posted on what's going on. I think back to when LeRoy Martin was appointed Superintendent and we thought things where going downhill. LeRoy was a prince compared to the fool you kids have to suffer.

I had a cup of coffee with a couple of beat coppers from 022 last week. Both of their (one 17 years on the other 15 years) biggest gripes was how these feebees think they know everything. They related that just because some political hack in Springfield said it was OK for them to wear the uniform it didn't make it right.

That's what bugs me the most too. I spent 34 years of my life dedicated to what that uniform stood for. To see it worn by carpetbaggers like Weis and Brust just bugs the living shit out of me.

Oh Well - enough bitching from this old fool. Have a wonderful New Year SCC and to all you "beat" coppers out there STAY SAFE. These fools running your ship will not back you up - do what you have to do but don't rely on them having your back.

SEMPER FI

A federal lawsuit claims a Chicago's police union is showing racial bias by paying legal fees for a former police commander accused of torturing suspects and refusing to pay the bills of other FOP members who are racial minorities, the Sun-Times News Group is reporting.

Happy New Year SCC, God bless & congrats on a job well done. Thank you for trying to keep the light focused on The Daley Inc. criminal syndicate aided & abetted in part by j-fed, "burst," & co. (carpetbaggers extraordinaire, committers of whoredoms & sorry excuses for leaders & men... we know why you avert your eyes & hide your hands in the presence of policemen... your time of self congratulation for trying to destroy this department will come to an end sooner than later, you cowards).

To the running-dog "revruns" who preach the false doctrine of victimology, irresponsibility & disrespect for lawful authority, I will paraphrase for you... "obey ye the law of the land in which thou dwellest..." & "blessed are the peace makers..." A special fire is being stoked for you workers of iniquity in the pulpit.

To those who just don't get it... policing is a horrible, bloody, messy, grim bit of business. let's see if you can take seeing the dead in your sleep or rewinding a tragedy in your mind's eye or changing clothes in the garage because you bagged someone who was dead for 3 weeks in August or cutting down someone's loved one who thought they ran out of reasons to live or any number of things.

It is the argument of cowards to say "no one forced you to sign up, just quit if you don't like it." I don't see any of you naysayers & second guessers strapping on & walking in our shoes... go out and see the handiwork of evil, souless beings first hand before you say what the Police are or are not doing. For the most part we are doing the best we can under trying circumstances... most of us still have the pride, fire and desire to be the POLICE but we are not stupid or foolish in this current climate of guilty even if proven innocent...

Ahh... what the use, just wanted to wish my brothers & sisters in blue (both current & past) a Happy & safe New Year.

Take care & for cryin' out loud back each other up!

But not if you a fricking moron who needs to be babysat because your mouth gets you into something you can't handle. You need to grow up! When I first came on this job- the sergeants were there to help you out of something 'bad' happened like a shooting or a bad beef-not your petty personality issues. You're obviously a crybaby.

*******************

In days past, when a supervisor made a decision, it was NEVER questioned up the line (ie a Commander would never question them as to why they made the decision that they did).
Next, the questions started from the higher ups, but nothing was done punitive against the supervisors.
A few years later, and supervisors were starting to get time off for their decisions, even if they were correct according to orders. This was primarily due to the increasing influence of incompetent yet highly politically connected exempt personnel being made. Also, another problem was the increasing problem of officers with too much college and not enough street smarts taking this job. Too many crybabies came on board, viewing it as a springboard to their next job, rather than a life-long career. Supervisors increasingly could not count on officers to accept their "informal" punishment, such as "You and Joe settle it by duking it out in the alley" when you have a disagreement with a fellow officer.
Our biggest problem is mutual distrust between the ranks, one which the mayor exploits to prevent us from obtaining better contracts and work rules. Hell, he is even using it to take away hard earned gains from contracts past.

Captured on the in car camera system PO. MontesDeoca (sp?) from 1st watch in 22 pulled a person out of a burning car that had hit the flower pot planter on halsted. 30 seconds latter the car exploded--With total disregard for his own safety he pulled this stranger out of the blazing car!! These are the heroes of the Chicago Police Department! Bullshit aside--this is why I am so proud to be part of this organization. A joyous and safe 2009 to all you men and women!!

If you knew her you would know she is one of the best most respectful people on this job. A great officer and excellent copper who knew how to shake hands and walk away without doing a double take and doing paper to jam up the other copper like the crybaby did on her.
