Scumbag Arrested - Gun Recovered
- A 22-year-old South Side man was charged in connection with the theft of a 9 mm Baretta belonging to a Chicago police officer as he lay critically injured following a traffic crash Wednesday at 98th and Halsted Streets, authorities said tonight.
Rasaan Shannon, of the 9800 block of South Morgan Street, was charged with strong arm robbery, disarming a peace officer and unlawful use of a weapon by a felon, police said, adding that the injured officer's gun was recovered.
Gee, a felon. Anyone want to post his rap sheet? We're betting it's a beauty. And this worthless piece of shit went through an injured officer to steal. We're just irritated beyond words.
The officer is still in very bad shape. We'll update as possible.

SCC. Thank you for the information. Also looking for an update on his condition. Didn't heaar anything on the news about it.
Also, regarding the 15 year old who was shot and burned...no mention by the press of gang affiliation.
Thanks for keeping us informed on what's going on in Chicago. Sure can't depend on the papers or TV stations.
This piece of excrement should be drawn and quartered.
Good job to the coppers that solved this. Thanks.
I worked with D.C.'s dad back in the 1990's.
F-ing savage! Just thinking of how much MORE damage this scumbag may have caused by blatantly disregarding a human life and pushing/shoving/even moving the unconscious officer slightly to get a hold of the gun...makes my blood boil. God has a special place in hell for people like this savage.
Well if I was said shithead and I heard the Superintendent of the third largest police force say, ""Whoever would prey on a wounded officer, incapacitated, and take his weapon and then roll him around with a spinal injury to try to steal his wallet, is reprehensible to me,'' Weis said. "I mean, what type of individual would do that? It's beyond imagination."
I'd turn myself in too, because I'd be soooooo afraid of the big bad JFed!
What a crock a shit JFED is. If he were the real police he would have borrowed a line from Wyatt Earp in the movie Tombstomb.... " I coming for you and I'm bring hell with me."
Pussy
will he be charged for the injury to the officer? Moving a person with a spine injury is the WORST course of action....
They should charge him with Agg Battery to PO for causing damage to his person by moving him before CFD arrived.
Despicable.
good job to those officers that made the pinch
Id give them a week off with pay
Quick recovery to officer Cole
He turned himself in he was not arrested.
WOW! He was right around the corner from home. I wonder if he really happened upon the accident or heard it on a scanner? I was afraid the offenders might be from a distance because of the close proximity of the Ryan entrance ramps just off Halsted. Congrats to all. Great grab.
When they jousted the unresponsive, injured police officer,,,how much damage to his person did they do ?
I hate to think about it, and hope and pray and have good thoughts for the officer involved and his family.
Regardless of all existing applicable laws, how about this Springfield ?:
When a Police Officer, (add on here,,)is involved in a traffic accident, and a person disarms him with the intent to steal his firearm, shield, or personal effects, it shall be considered...
all Police Officers reading this finish this sentence...
and then add this...
When the person violated section,blah blah blah, is a convicted felon.
They should get the death penalty.
Now, I know all you lawyers and state reps who read this blog could re-word this and make this a law pretty damn quick.
I'm calling 7 state reps next week, who else will do the same ?
--civilian post--
Th A.S.A. better not screw this one up.
To the injured Sgt., we're pulling for you.
typical fucking shithead piece of shit i hope he routs in hell
I pray that piece of human waste rots in hell for what he did....Get ready brothers and sisters for this summer is going to be one for the records...Be prepared and be aware always.....
There are many more like him just waiting for the opportunity.
Not much holds society together.
I was in an apartment at a domestic tonight on the n/e side and the guy had supplies stacked everywhere.
People are very concerned.
Glad the gun was recovered. "Hey Scumbag, thanks for self-selecting to go back to the penitentiary where you belong". Sometimes things do work out right, prayers out for the Officer's speedy and full recovery.
I'm sure the good officers near his place of residence will remember this shitbirds name.
Whomever made the pinch, I owe you more than one adult cold beverage.
Good work.
Funny, I didnt hear any of this on the news.
I'm praying for our officer. Many prayers to St. Jude.
Typical ill-educated person
"He a good boy" ...blah blah blah
If im not mistaken this Dumb Ass walked into the District Station claiming to have found the Officers gun, and was taken into custody after questioning. He was possibly linked by video from a gas station cam now lets hope he is linked by fingerprints inside the Officers vehicle .If you watched the tape he never returned to the vehicle shown at the gas station so he could have very well ran his Dumb Ass home thinking he has done something Big with Bragging rights But, the Boys in the Hood were probally just as mad as the Police because most know the Police was about to Bring the Pain on any and everything crossing the street the wrong way either way his ass was about to pay.
He turned himself in because he must have seen himself in the crosshairs of every cop out there.
what ever officer(s) made this pinch or were involved in the weapon recovery, thank you... i have been in a rage since hearing this story as have many of my colleagues. will the sun times or tribune put this assholes picture on the front page with a full accounting of his actions and criminal history.
TV said dude turned himself in.
The fellows obviously didn't want the heat his stupidity was going to bring the social club he belongs to.
Time to look at his associates and give them a little "special" attention. Put the pressure on them, and dude will reap the "benefits" in the joint.
Remember that savage. Rememer his name and face.
Way to Goooo!!!!! I knew Area 2 teams can do it and catch the kid who stole the GUN.
Right place Right Time . Or Was it Them???
Hopefully the Cook County States Attorneys office can do their part now.
Did they get his star and wallet back yet?

Actually, I'm happy to report that NBC5 had the story on their 4:30 PM broadcast on Thursday and actually put up the kids MySpace photo. You know, the one with him flashing gang signs, (no doubt culled from SCC's 05 May 09 post). They referred to it as from his FaceBook page.
I was shocked to see it front and center on my tv screen but as they showed the photo, they said his family denies he was in a gang. As I watched, it was almost as if they were calling the family liars by presenting evidence to the contrary!
Later broadcasts on NBC5 carried the same story but eliminated the showing of the gang photo, undoubtedly due to public pressure.
Please update us on court dates as each of us would like to attend all dates.
good job CPD IS ON THE BALl
further validates my past comments about'' some areas of the city are like mogadishu''!

Holy crap, Aquaman ! Are we going to Lake Michigan domestics now ? ? ?
Maybe it's a mixed marriage domestic ? I hear it can be difficult to Coho-habitate with a Smelt ! ! !
How soon before this pos gets an I-Bond because Dart doesn't have room for him in the jail.
Don't get too excited about this scumbag receiving the justice he deserves in our broken legal system. A few years ago, 2 officers were involved in an accident on the southside en route to a call. After the collision, the male officer driving was unconscious and the female passenger officer was injured and semi conscious. A group of "citizens" descended on the police car and the male officer's weapon was stolen. The female PO was accosted by a female passerby who was trying to remove her weapon. The PO was removed from the car and placed on the steps of a nearby building. The female passerby continued to try to remove the PO's weapon. The PO, though injured, was able to prevent the passerby from taking her weapon.
When help arrived, the female PO pointed out the passerby who tried to take her weapon and she was arrested and charged with various offenses.
After 10 months in jail, the female passerby was found NG by one of our brilliant judges. She immediately retained counsel and sued the City and the female officer.
After a trial in federal court before a judge who is notorious for his animus against law enforcement, the jury awarded the female passerby over $7 million for violation of her "civil rights". The 7th Circuit reduced the amount awarded to $1.9 million.
So, unless this clown is found guilty, he will fill a reverse conviction suit against the City.
Law enforcement and law enforcement officers are the target of lawyers and their bottom feeding clients looking to win the legal lotto. The federal judges in this District, by and large, who are Clinton or Carter appointees, presume the police officer is guilty.
The system is broken.
Hey, 12:46, we are not the third largest Police Department in the country, we are the second. We are the third largest CITY in the country and even that's debateable.
Please remember, even in though the piece of garbage that took D.C.'s service firearm is far from the only felon roving the city streets, intimidating citizens and putting fear in people's hearts and making them indifferent to the suffering of others, one African-American women (late 30's ?) witnessed all and stuck around at 98th & Halsted and related everything she observed. She couldn't physically stop them from taking D.C.'s weapon, but she did the next best thing. She stood up and did the right thing, even though she could have just walked away and become lost in the crowd. She deserves an award. I wish I knew her name, but I thank her with all my heart regardless. And I pray for D.C.'s recovery.
.no mention by the press of gang affiliation.
--One channel (7?) did mention him "apparently" flashing gang signs on his my space page.
Is anyone really that shocked over this?
No offense to the Officer and God help him please....
But
Dude lacks not only the mental capacity to really think straight at most times but his morals are not generally those of a patron saint.
Dude is an opportunist and like most dogs in the war zones like those in Iraq.....the DOGS of the ghetto look to inherit the fruits that fall from the trees in their path.
Like Floyd Durr the predator of the Ryan Harris murder/rape caper in Englewood, this piece of shit of feeble mind and soul came across an oppurtunity to be a REAL human being and in GODS eyes he FAILED like many before him and sadly many after him will!!!
No care, no remorse, no sanctity of life, no guilt, no sense of preservation exists, no moarls, no humanity! This is why they are animals of the ghetto and we see it that way!
Bless the Officer and his family!

Whatever dope "tip" is over there.......
SHUT IT DOWN
and inform the rest of the gang bangin jag asses that the police are shutting business down because of Rasaan Shannon that lives at whatever address in the 9800 blk of s. Morgan!
Make sure police prescenceremains for some time and keep repeating to everyone especially the angriest hard core players that because of RASAAN SHANNON the police are shutting this TIP down!!
The rest of the hood will know what to do then........
" I coming for you and I'm bringing hell with me."
And so it shall pass.
This should be incorporated into the "High Risk Strategic Planning Manual" Weis jacks off to on a Daley basis.
Words we live by Brother...thanks for posting that!.

It was on the news last night -- CBS I think. Where's the scumbag's Myspace page?
On the CBS news they said no info was being released about the condition of the officer involved. Hoping he's OK
GREATV WORK MY PRAYERS ARE WITH THE OFFICER AND TO JFED AND VERY BIG F-CKYOU.
He turned himself in he was not arrested.

it shall be considered an"ACT OF WAR".
Damn Irish-Catholic kids
See how it's done? White cops giving these poor children of color guns. That's why all this shooting is going on!!! Are you listening Springfield?
Signed, Fr. Pfleger
Reprehensible? Reprehensible?
Jody, what do you think these savages do? This is not unusual behavior. This is what the police deal with every day. Without a conract and without a raise. Come to the south side and see them swinging from the porches on a hot summer evening.
I'll try and stay somewhat calm...
First off my thoughts and prayers to this officer and his family.
The piece of shit that was pulling a con and moving this officer around, to appear like he's helping, but only to steal his stuff, I would like to see a picture of this asshole.
I gotta leave it that.
What's his court date?
We all need to be there-
retired CFD paramedic
Great job to the coppers who got the gun and offenders. Every minute of freedom they had after this incident was an insult. To the Sgt who tried terminating the chase of what WAS a white impala. You are a RETARD who should never be allowed to supervise again you fucking coward!!!!!!!!
This piece of filth should be charged with attempted murder and sent away forever. Make an example of this animal!!!
If you run the officer's name on facebook, he does have a page that yoy can leave messages for him. Yes, I know he cannot access them himself, but when he can they will be there. You request to be his friend and leave the message on the form provided.
Actually it was the work of an Area 1 Gang Team member(s)! Great Job!!

Jody, what do you think these savages do? This is not unusual behavior. This is what the police deal with every day."
---------------------------------
It's to the point with Weis during his media interviews, we're changing the channel of the television and radio. His department notices sit unread in roll call rooms across the city. None of us will listen because no one in the media will hammer this dummy.
The word, "reprehensible", belongs where it came from: Weis's colon. "Reprensible?". What a goof. More proof Weis is a dummy and doesn't have one clue in running this department. Jody, if you wanted to make an impact, saying something like, "The dog involved in taking advantage of this critically injured officer better surrender himself and the gun. We will hunt you down." That's the mild version.
Miserable savages.
The reverends and Father Pfleger are strangely silent. Where is all the flaming hot rhetoric and screaming and prancing and shit, you know?

Look him up in CLEAR, Rasaan Shannon of the 9800 blk of S. Morgan
I hear he is giving up his homies real good, taking a nice hard roll over on them.
Rasaan S. Shannon, 22, of the 9800 block of Morgan, Chicago, was arrested around 5:40 p.m. Jan. 15 on the 1600 block of Ontarioville Road, Hanover Park and charged with possession of a controlled substance.
http://www.dailyherald.com/story/print/?id=265478
This is Cook County, he will probably wind up getting probation.
Great work by L.S. of A/1 G/Team. You definitely should be on the next Sgt.list whenever that is...
Word is the CCSAO is considering dropping all charges against the offender, 22-year-old man, Rasaan Shannon, who allegedly disarmed and robbed a police officer while he was fighting for his life at 98th and Halsted recently.
Anita Alvarez and her deputies feel the case is weak and they much rather prosecute cases in which the Chicago Police Officers are the accused rather than cases where members of the CPD are victims.
Guess the CCSAO feels these days that will get more votes and appease Richie and JPUD? The justice system in Crook County is not about doing the right thing anymore its all a big polictical game to sway the media and brainwash as many voters as possible.
1. Best wishes for a speedy recovery to the officer. I heard on the news he is in a medically induced coma.
2. Good job to the guys/gals that recovered the officers firearm.
3. News reported that bond for this pos was set at 300,000. Seems way too low but on the bright side, I doubt that he knows anyone with 30 grand which means he's gonna sit it county for a while.
This is why we need old school policing back!

That sgt is a clout jagoff punk! Hope he gets fired if i see him do anything wrong i will personally notify the press! What a chump!
O.T.--Scc I just wanted to inform the men and women in blue of a new tool used by IPRA that I had the misfortune of being one of the first to receive apparently.
I received a Non-disciplinary Intervention Report today from my Sgt. Now, I realize other coppers may have gotten this bullshit already, but it was a first for me and all the coppers I work with.
In essence it was a verbal beef from some gang banging animal that rather than hit me with a CR, IPRA created this instead. By no means am I complaining about gettin this Report as opposed to the CR, but I still found it suspicious.
I contacted the FOP and was told to not sign the allegation if I didn't feel comfortable doing so. Furthermore, FOP had not heard of any other of these so called "reports" and thought negotiation was still ongoing with IPRA to commence with these reports. I in turn declined to sign said report.
I just wanted to now if any other coppers were served with this bullshit yet or if anyone had any further info?? Thanks
OT but important:
This link is to a New York Times account of how a NYPD officer was hit by friendly fire. Please look at it and learn:
http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2009/05/29/nyregion/20090529-shoot.html
Any word on how Densey is doing?
Only a $300k bond? Good ol' cook county for ya.....
I'm sure the convicted felons fam can scrape up all of our tax money they collect to raise the 10% bond necessary for release......
It is still a waiting game for Densey, so please continue your prayers...
The family is overwhelmed by the support given by CPD members, but not surprised being they are a police family.
They are also disgusted by the media, the media got an unlisted number and has been hounding a member of the immediate family. Weis actually stepped in and told certain media types to back off or credentials would be pulled. Lot of people don't like the guy, but in this one case he was stand up.
Thx to the officer(s) from 22 that has brought catered food in everyday to the hospital. Also thx to baraccos for the pizzas.
So please keep up the good thoughts and God Bless...
Big Daddy...
If this mutt piece of shit took anything from the P.O. after taking his weapon, he should be charged with ARMED robbery.
And if he did not, too bad, let him prove he didn't.
Even an Assistant State Attorney should be able to figure that out.
Only a $300k bond? Good ol' cook county for ya.....

Been around since 2004. Read Department Notice 04-17 and Training Bulletin 04-04 issued in August 2004. Around that time all the sergeants had to be trained by personnel on how to handle this.
I know I'm not the first person suggesting this but the coppers in that area need to burn that area up. Let the savages know that they will be f*cked with for every little thing because of this POS's actions. With our fine justice system, you know he'll be out in a year or so. When he gets out, the animals should remember that it was HIS fault their car was impounded for sound. HIS fault they went to jail for something normally overlooked. HIS fault we signed complaints on their baby momma's behalf and sent them to county. He'll get his eventually. God bless this officer and his family.
FUCK THIS DOUCHE BAG!!!!! God speed Officer Cole!
As much as we dog each other on here and give out so much personal information, it is a wonder we can keep anyone in the city locked up at all. Thats why they keep suing us. Don't you think the law firms and the media PAY people to read and document this shit. Right after the information was posted regarding Dep. Chief DA and him missing court did the city get a Freed of Information Act request trying to get all of court history. Real smart. Just keep it up!

it's not new and IPRA didn't invent it, it's been around for a few years, it's used for verbal abuse beefs in lieu of a C.L. keep racking them up and it would become a C.L. for all further complaints... All it states is that you had a counselling session with your Sgt. and watched the training video on demeanor etc. etc.

If past practice is a guide, he will sue the city after he is acquitted and walk away smiling with a million or more of our tax money.

__________________________________
That is not a new tool by IPRA. They changed the verbal beef thing when they required the affidavit for CR's. For verbal beefs, the shitheads don't have to sign a affidavit, which means they can still lie about the verbal beef and have no consequences if they are lying because they are not signing something swearing that the incident occured. Isn't this department great.
"Good job to the coppers that solved this. Thanks."
Pick up a Newspaper Swifty,
Douche bag turned himself in @ the Station.
First, and foremost.... All our best to the injured PO. You will remain in our thoughts and prayers.
Next, this is "Policework 101."
When we would 'lose' a radio in the projects and it would be grabbed by a local urchin, or a squad car was broken into and property taken in the jets etc., we would merely come down hard and enforce every trivial law at our disposal, including towing their cars for license and insurance violations etc., and we'll post coppers at every project building in the area and only allow residents or their 'approved' family members access. And each time we do so, we tell them that we will continue until...that radio is returned, gun recovered etc.
The gang bangers that want to continue to pitch dope in the building know a 24hr. po-lice presence seriously hurts their dope slinging and that mutt that had his car impounded because he had a suspended license and no insurance also had a large dent placed in his otherwise baron largess.
Then THEY put the heat on the offender (everyone there knows who did it) to 'give it up' so they can get back to business as usual.
"THAT's WHY" dude turned himself in and the weapon recovered. (Pressure from within)
That's 'old school' and po-licing 101, but don't expect J-Fed to initiate, authorize or approve of such actions.
Thank God there still are some real coppers out there that know how it's done, and coppers that still pitch-in then become part of the 'team.'
God Bless all of you. Stay safe out there my brothers and sisters.
Ol' vet (retired)
The hero in this incident is the woman who WAITED to talk to the police and give important info. I'm sure DC and DC's family will be told who she is and they will convey the thanks of the entire CPD. I hope the city at least offers her an award. and a reward wouldn't be a bad thing either.
Great job 022 for taking care of the family. Way to go.
A united CPD induces paralyzing fear amongst criminals and will do the same to any body of inviduals that is the recipient of same.
Just a little perspective. Lets all remember that 98th and Halsted is in the heart of the so called "miidle class black community of Chicago." Bricks and mortar to not make up a community. People do. Ghetto everywhere.

Witnesses are never left anonymous.
Ultimately their names are disclosed to the defendant in every single criminal case. The whole point of being a witness is having the courage to stand up and publicly point out a defendant at trial.
It's the lack of courage in most people in black neighborhoods that the gangbanger thugs depend on.
It's this witnesses courage we should be applauding. That's what these neighborhoods need more of.
Great Job GEU Team 6712.
You guys are my heros!!!!
We need new legislation to aggravate this type of crime to Class X status. SCC start the campaign.
I can take a guess as to how the officer sustained such devasting injuries while driving a Tahoe.Are the right questions being asked? To the officer's family make sure you have the family attorney check into how prepared are these trucks for police work,do the trucks have a heavy suspension system(double wishbone for one example,(re-enforced/or heavy duty shock absorbers,coupled with heavy duty springs for two),that can take the-day-to-day punishment(being driven nearly 24hrs a day 7 days a week) by patrol officers.Is maintanance constantly updated,are they equiped with a true all around anti-lock braking system that can prevent or greatly reduce the vehicle from losing control from sudden turns due to the high center of gravity,or did some politically connected contracter shortchanged the officer's of C.P.D. by charging a heavy price for a not-so-heavy vehicle.Last but not the least,are they four wheel drive equipped.I do not profess to being a vehicle expert however,these are questions that need to be asked/answered.
Dart has more than enough room.The guys at the county will treat his ass with kidgloves,because they will want no excuses from him or his mouth piece.The POS,punk ass.

Thanks, but I have been on the street a long time and I did not front her off. There's more than one thirty-something African-American woman in that neighborhood. That is all I said.
Besides, the news crews had cameras and microphones in her face and they plastered her face and name on the news immediately after the occurrence, but at least they stopped after the first evening.
Besides, you ever work in the hood? There are no secrets my friend. Info travels through the hood faster than you read and judged my words. And it has been that way for a long time, well before cell phones.
Great job by a great bunch of guys and girls. Keep up the good work.
God bless and stay safe!
Why isn't The G prosecuting this case?!? Especially if he's a felon!!!
the other situation at 43/princeton involved two female officers not a male and female. also, a male removed the driver's gun while the female held the other officer back. this his how police rumors go.....completely twisting the story
For the last time the offender didn't turn himself in the news was incorrect. These officers chased this clown around for 24hrs until they located the gun, then the car, then talk to the offender for hours and met the offender at 55 Wentworth. The offender didn't walk into a police station. Great job 6712 Team to stay on this for as long as you did.

That was not the correct Impala in the chase, wrong color
DC is the son of my cousin. How devastated the family is because of this scum bag. I no longer live in Chicago but will continue to support the PD & any other officals who put their lives on the line day after day for strangers. Please continue to pray for this officer & his family. This is a real living nightmare.
I love you all & my Prayers are with you.

Know the facts before posting. I agree with everything other than the chase/Sgt part, which you have no clue about....It was a Great Chase Though!!
