Another Altar Boy Lawsuit

  • The mother of a high school junior fatally shot by an off-duty Chicago police officer last September filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the city.

    In the suit filed today in Cook County Circuit Court, attorneys for Natasha Williams, whose son, Corey Harris Jr., was killed last Sept. 11, said the officer acted recklessly during the incident and that the city is liable.

  • Just after the shooting, police said the off-duty officer saw Harris fire shots at someone, leading to the pursuit. But the suit claims the officer -- dressed in plain clothes -- never identified himself as police and shot the teen in the back.

    Law enforcement sources had told the Tribune that a weapon wasn't found with Harris, but at least one of the sources said he might have tossed the weapon during the chase. Police eventually recovered a .40-caliber handgun. The suit refutes that Harris ever had a weapon.

Bullets in victim came from the recovered weapon so it seems the officer got the right guy. If he was off-duty, he's not required to wear a uniform. The lack of identification as the police is most likely a lie seeing as how we're trained. And we're allowed to shoot people in the back - it's a preferred tactic since the safest spot to be when someone is shooting at someone else is behind the gun. City, State and Federal law don't require a stand-up gun battle at 10 paces.

That's why I drive through the hood with the radio up and blinders on, no 1000 plus stickers on my car to identify me as the popo. Let them kill each other.

Junior was turning his life around. bullshit
Junior didn't have no gun. bullshit
Junior didn't run from the police. bullshit.
Hopefully the judge sees this lawsuit for what it is, that being bullshit and sends momma home empty handed but knowing the way things work around here, momma will walk away with some hush money.
It's a sad statement of what society has become when momma can get paid because junior fucked up.

You must be a meter maid. No self-respecting law enforcement officer would refer to himself by the ghetto name of popo. It is disrespectful, ignorant and just plain STUPID.

Stay off our blog and go make your comments on your own blog, Second City Meter Maids!

Does one fight this bullshit lawsuit and risk losing it with these liberal ass judges and juries and have the officer pay out of his own pocket????? Or have the balless city keep on paying these animal's mothers to keep them happy and continue to reinforce the attitude that one can shoot and point weapons at officers and citizens is acceptable????? I hate to say it, but if I was the officer I would have the city pay the bitch.

Didn't the newspaper story mention that the young scholar was a star athlete, a good boy, and a father? And he was 17 years of age. A future Derrick Rose perhaps, the lost future earnings there will be enormous.

We will have to be wearing head cams 24/7 to protect ourselves from these types of horseshit lawsuits.

I know, we are sworn to take police action but I wonder how this officer will feel when the lawsuit is finally finished.

Will he simply call 911 next time? That is what we are required to do at the minimum. One doesn't have to put one's self on the line for death, injury, criminal charges and lawsuits just because one piece of shit shot another piece of shit.

A number of beefs ago I decided to only use the cell phone if I or my family wasn't personally being attacked. Let the on-duty police handle this shit, too much potential for getting caught up in shit.

Self preservation is my rule #1.

Protection of life: mine;
protection of property: mine;
protection of sanity: mine
protection of pension: mine

Sorry dear citizens, it just isn't worth it any more. With concealed carry coming, the citizens can soon learn what happens when they shoot someone and then have to justify same. Let that citizen with the new pistol and NRA patch get read his criminal rights after shooting a burglar. I will happily write the report.

Hmmmm...

Now would be a good time to start doing what the Israelis were doing during the so called "intifada" and just bulldoze whatever hovel these fools and their families call home. You know... That place with the split in half toilet full of congealed feces and inch long, man-eating flies even during winter...

Like we recall from a conversation with an old time & upright Preacher-Man (no more of THEM around from what we see. They are truly among the grateful dead as not having to bear witness to the foolishness on the West & South sides.) who said, "Some people just need to be left behind. After the door closed, everybody banging on the side of Noah's Ark was on their own."

Here... We'll sum this mess up for you clueless civilian and media trollers. (Those who have more than a clue and are able to see the hand writing writ large upon the walls, welcome to OUR world. Well, somewhat anyway... ;)

Altar-Boy is a multi generational shit-bird who is a congenital and habitual fuck up...

Altar-Boy's family KNOWS he's a fuck up...

Altar-Boy's family aids, abets and provides material support and comfort in his life long pursuit of the perfect fuck-up...

Altar-Boy's relentless pursuit to obtain oneness with the ultimate of upward-fuckery (call it "shit-bird nirvana") was thwarted with terminal and permanent effect via means of forcible injection of multiple high velocity projectiles into his person at the hands of a Chicago Policeman.

Altar-Boy's den-mates howl in mock outrage. They cease biting scratching and defecating on one another long enough to heed the siren call of a creature as cunning as they are willfully and resolutely ignorant, debased and devolved.

That creature? We know them colloquially as Lawyers...

In a just society, these oxygen thieves wouldn't get a damn cent of real taxpayer money!

As it is, we do dwell in the wet-eyed, hand-wringing, scooter riding, triscuit nibbling, metrosexual, heroin chic, limp-wrist, liberal pinky trotskyite epicenter of political correctness/"hope & change" that will do all it can to insure that the catered to constituency is absolved of any responsibility whatsoever and the mean, unfeeling Policeman is sued into poverty for doing his job and killing the shit out of Altar-Boy TO PROTECT HIMSELF, SOMEONE ELSE AND WHAT LITTLE REMAINS OF CIVILIZED SOCIETY!

Hmmm...

We take it as citizens saying they don't want or need the Police to stand between them and those who seek to do them, their loved ones or their property harm.

Daley is only heeding their wishes by shrinking the department.

The people by their continued silence lend concurrence to this course of action. Thus it is their will.

So be it then...

But it's all the fault of the Police when there is a need and there are no Police left to be sent.

Retirement is it's own reward.
Sell everything, get out and let Chicago fall in on itself.

I will try to restrain some profanity here but it will be tough...

Where to even begin? We don't hear the race card here, I do believe the involved officer was black, which is a nice change of pace. However this also points out a huge problem in society. Had it been a white officer this story would have a whole different twist. Since it wasn't I will not go into that subject.
Quite honestly what difference does it make if the Officer screamed from the roof tops he was the police?? Say it was a good citizen trying to do the right thing after WITNESSING a shooting. He was an armed citizen trying to defend the life of another human being(used that term loosely).
The 17 YEAR OLD father and basketball player and the media has to portray that as a positive thing, bullshit.
Momma who is NO WHERE NEAR the scene is gonna protest that her son has done no wrong and didn't have a gun. I remember the interviews on the news and the neighbors made it pretty clear her kid was a piece of shit. They seemed pretty clear that the Officer was the police, and dude had a gun.
The city better go after this bitch with both barrels blazing, screw her and her rotten gang banger kid.
Enough of my rant.

While on the subject of altars, can someone tell me how St. Tommy More can be forced to get rid of not one but two priests recently against the wishes of the parish, while that hate mongering lunatic with the blonde hair is untouchable?

When is the tide going to change? When are decent people who pay their bills and play by the rules going to be treated with the respect they deserve? How did everything get so totally fucked up?

What a horrible lawsuit. Just because you think you can win loads of money doesn't mean you should do it.
And any future law-abiding handgun owner in Chicago should ask themselves "Can you kill someone?". Just say yes or no. If no, then you shouldn't get a gun.
I do agree that self preservation should be your top priority, but saving the lives of others (even strangers) too is best. If you do try to stop a forcible felony with lethal force such as this officer has done, then I hope you stay safe.
