Good Job Once Again

  • Police captured a man who allegedly raped a woman at gunpoint in the East Garfield Park neighborhood on the West Side early Tuesday.

    The woman was sexually assaulted at gunpoint by a man about 1:30 a.m. in the 3300 block of West Warren Avenue, according to police, who were citing preliminary information.

    Officers placed the alleged attacker into custody after they chased him on foot, police said.

    The woman and the alleged attacker, who was injured during the chase, were being treated at Mount Sinai Hospital, police said.

Cops do this day in and day out, with or without a contract, because it's the right thing to do. We are truly what stands between society and anarchy. But the pathetic number of comments in the Sun Times post and the nature of more than a few of them always give us pause.

Anyway, hats off to all involved.

If the media were to broadcast the heroic acts that officers do each and every day, there would not be enough time in the broadcast.

People need to realize that the police and fire are the only group of people keeping this city at bay.

Imagine this city without the "out of control" CPD. 24 hours without them...who will you rely on?

Contract or not, 99% of us do our job with honor. I laugh when i read the letters to the editor about the CPD being "out of control." The letter writers are usually from winnekta, skokie, bensenville or gurnee. The few that come from the city are usually from the gentrified areas of the city where they are the first to call when they see a suspicious person (aka: african american) walking down the street of their yuppie-kingdom, but the first to bitch on why you stopped them. Don't see a lot of letters from Bridgeport, Edison Park, Mt. Greenwood rolling in. Hell, not a lot of letters from Englewood and Roseland. These people live in the real world. Even if the people from the ghetto hate us (and they do) we are a necessary part of their lives. So until you are willing to never call the police because we are all evil, stop bitching. Live in your paradise. But remember, if evil calls, we will respond no matter what you think of us. We are proud and willing not to hide behind a letter to a paper to show it

much appreciated, folks.

to the people who always say "aw man, the police are just the biggest gang in Chicago" I say, hey, you try calling the GD's or Latin Kings at 3am when someone is breaking into your house.

Ourselves, of course. If only we'd be allowed to legally have handguns. Concealed carry would be even better.

It's not your job to protect us, but the government of this city and state has seen to it that we are defenseless. Thanks for doing your best because you are all we have, for the most part.

I just want to say THANK YOU to all you cops out there for doing it well. I live right behind the 14th in Logan Square, and while I haven't had to call you but maybe 2-3 times since I moved there 4 years ago, I really appreciated you when you did come.

There are MANY people out there like myself who are truly thankful to you for protecting us and preventing even worse things from happening. We also know no good deed goes unpunished, and that we don't see most of the amazing, heroic stuff you do on a daily basis. That stuff is your JOB; my job is sitting at a desk all day.

A special thank you to a cop who hung out of the passenger side of his SUV and talked to me about my dog (big black great dane) before making silly "hi, puppy!" noises and such. You guys are so damn awesome.

So, thank you. We DO notice, and we DO care.

Daley: "My policy is that we don't pay criminals. By the way officer, I don't want any trouble like you had in the Fillmore District last year, understand?"

Officer: "Well, Mr. Mayor, when I see a man chasing a woman with the intent to commit rape, I shoot the bastard. That's my policy."

Daley: "Intent? How did you establish intent?"

Officer: "When I see a naked man chasing a woman down an alley with a butcher knife and a hardon, I figure he ain't collecting for the Red Cross."
