Police Shooting
In the middle of the mayhem on 04/05 July, offender with a gun is shot by police:
A Chicago police officer shot a male suspect who pointed a gun at him and at least one other officer early this morning after they tried to disperse a large crowd in the street, police said.
A spokesman for Police News Affairs did not know the condition of the wounded person.
The shooting happened about 2:15 a.m. in the 100 block of North Leamington Avenue in the South Austin neighborhood on the West Side. In a statement, police said uniformed officers responded to a call of a disturbance at that location and found a large group gathered in the street.
Officers are OK. The usual outcry that the police should have subdued the gunman with tickles and feather pillows has ensued.

That said, the courts ruled many years ago that a person is under arrest when he or she can no longer leave of their own free will. It may be called a detention or an arrest, but if they can't leave, its an arrest. If you cuff them, you better be able to justify it if need be,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Can someone please mail this to lt ov and sgt bh at 192? The imbeciles procreated by chief eb say different. Worse than ever vice is run by creative mice.
Fully loaded full auto, Mac-10. Nice job boys.
Couldnt they have just shot a bird from the sky that would of fell on his head? Daaaaayem

So what's the deal with the police clearly not enforcing Chicago's fireworks laws? Pro-grade fireworks all night long in my 'hood and it's just allowed to continue without intervention, year after year.
Is this an unofficial CPD policy? As a citizen, I don't understand, and frankly it undermines my opinion of the police, who are obviously just looking the other way. There's no way officers aren't aware of these law breakers.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND HOW FEW OFFICERS ARE OUT WORKING ON THE STREET? You really aren't paying attention to what you are reading here.... The exchange off violent crime prevention over fireworks prevention is the reason for the unchecked fireworks displays... The 3-4 blocks around a station would tie up every Officer out there just for the processing of these illegal fireworks posessors. P.S. Let us filter thru the firework booms to arrest the gunshot boom offenders. Viva America!!!
Being a retired CPD I need to know who exactly Masters is? By reading all the posts here I can assume that Masters is a guy that J-Fled brought with him when he became the head guy.
Is that correct?
You think they would add some officers on 1st watch? 9 fucking beat cars and one of the beat cars being a wagon. We have more tact teams/incident teams in that district. Its really a saftey issue. We know everyone is short, but wtf? do we really need 7 tact teams, multiple sat teams exc? put the man power where it is needed! The sheets are so bare on 1st watch here its a shame, and is a saftey issue.
Got to see the retired deputy chief in the back seat of the squad car in 016 after he hit a police officer while she was directing traffic. Good thing he is retired now, he will have the same rights as everyone but the police! Captain Chrissy handling it; will she, the reformed one, have sympathy? The P.O. that was struck went to the hospital. I
heard she is not hurt too bad, Thank God. What are you talking about?
Couldn't the Po-po shoot the gun out of the scholar's hand?!
As long as we're all okay and went home in one piece.
Offender dead ???
JUST HOPING!!!

Close. Masters Masters Masters is the guy Daley put in as J-Fled's Chief of Staff when J-Fled wasn't answering the phone messages from Shortshanks fast enough. Masters was put there to tell J-Fled, "The mayor is on the phone." J-Fled actually thought he was going to be given free rein to destroy the CPD rather than at Daley's direction.
Masters Masters Masters was Shortshanks police liaison with shittyhall. When J-Fled was appointed they made Masters Masters Masters the Chief of Staff.
REALLY, Really, really glad I'm retired.
Another old retired guy.

Be glad they are shooting fireworks in your neighborhood. The police are responding to the idiots in the many other neighborhoods who are firing off hand guns, shotguns, and automatic weapons. There are just not enough officers on the street to handle ALL the calls for service.
but was it his. dat boy was fixing to turns his life arounds.

Guess what 015 District Cowboy? You have no one to blame but yourselves! Let me explain young lad. I work in 025 and hear the radio. You guys are a proactive bunch, you go out and arrest lots of people and do a lot of police work.
So as long as you officers work your ass off, you won't get more help. You are working against your self-interests my friend.
Why does 1st watch always get fucked in terms of manpower? I am sick and fucking tired of it! In my district, we have officers with two years on the job make it on 3rd watch by management and the hard working police officers are stuck on 1st watch plus we have little help.

I understand the line, 'don't make laws you can't enforce', but seriously, there are more pressing issues like going after the gang-bangers.
I presume that this rule is there so idiots can't sue someone for being stupid. For example the guy who blew his face off, or the other one who blew his arm off.
Sort of along the line of, 'I told you so', but you did it anyway.

The courts also ruled that you do have the power to detain and cuff, as long as it is REASONABLE. It all falls under REASONABLENESS, and for most of what we do we are covered under COLOR OF LAW. If you can articulate why it is reasonable that you handcuff someone and why it is reasonable that you stop them, you are doing your job. If you cannot, perhaps you should go hide in the CAPS office or find a nice safe job in a cubicle somewhere. The police can stop people. And handcuff them. It's kind of in the job description. Otherwise, no one would ever have to stop for us and we would be knda useless...like you. Or masters. Or jfled...

As I see it....Masters is a 30 something young guy that is in Daley's inner circle...used to work out of city hall. Has some military background, is heavily degreed (I think in law...)... is not and never was a police officer. J-Fled was given the job, and Masters was moved over by Daley to keep an eye on J-Fled... It's basically a political move...this way Daley can publicly have an outsider (jfled) come in as a new boss, but have him on a leash by connected insider that is not really known outside of the inner circle. Business as usual.

PO in 016 on third watch hit kamikazee style by a LT.SC last night. Instead of concern for po he wants CR. His face wasn't red from heat, if you know what I mean. Don't worry he didn't blow. Good news PO ok.

7/06/2010 07:22:00 AM
No, not correct. He was formerly a gopher for retired Alderman Bernie Hansen. Son of a retired judge and precinct captain basically he was daley's yes man for public safety until Daley fired Weis' hand picked chief of staff out from under him and installed Mike Masters.
So I guess you could say Masters is daley's guy in the police department. Masters, never having been a police officer himself, has been seen around town in uniform sporting a gun, shiny gold star and looking all self important and police like.
Did I mention Masters was never a police officer but now dresses like one? Masters apparently became a police officer by mayoral edict, remember the immaculate conception? That is sort of how Masters became the police.
A violation of the law but this is daleytown so who is going to challenge him?
"He's sort of like the eyes and ears of the superintendent, even if he's with the superintendent," says Alderman Walter Burnett (27th), a member of the City Council's Police and Fire Committee.
Masters is suspected of being the one actually talking when jody weis's moves his lips.
Masters supposedly issued orders that a CR number would be generated each time his name was mentioned in a negative manner on this blog. Needless to say he was mentioned quite a lot and not with love and kindness.
Does that about tell you all you need to know about masters?

He is the handler put in place by city hall
I agree about the fireworks, why make them illegal when the police doesnt have the resources to enforce the law.
All those tax dollars going to Indiana and Wisconsin when Illinois is hurting for dollars.
Make fireworks legal on the 3rd,4th of July, and New Years Eve. All other times make them illegal. At least you make money on the sale and taxes of fireworks. That way we do not have Joe Citizen coming on here asking why we do not enforce the law that prohibits fireworks in the (broke/corrupt)state of illinois.

I call bullshit on this!!! There's no way they can pick and chose what they are going to pay retro on. In the past they paid on everything so its not going to change now.
1st watch in 15 did a great job. This could have gotten out of hand quickly but didnt. Great Job.
On the other hand 9 cars on the busiest night of the year. No Saturation no MSF no Tact. They send them out of the district the one night you really need them. What a joke. Thank god we all went home safe.
(OT) all you "hard chargers" please wake up! just got latest FOP newsletter and read about how many coppers got hit with punitive damages and the amounts! Watch out the city will not back you! The bosses "go ahead kid we got you back"! Yea OK watch how fast they turn their backs when your being fucked over!
Check out G.O. regarding persons under Dept control to get an understanding of the Depts view on arrest vs detention.
It's hammer time Mayor Daley. Mara George, get ready for the personal lawsuits if you keep up your bullshit. http://www.nraila.org/News/Read/NewsReleases.aspx?ID=13996

OT....ABC 7 just did a story on how our mush Gov. Quinn has been handing out raises to his staff and the average raise was 11.4%. More waste also handed out by Quinn on basketball courts etc. He aslo started a "bully task force" comprised of 15 people and numerouse support staff. Typical crying broke, but taking care of your voting base and friends. Quinn took a page out of Daley's book.

I guess its REASONABLE to drag 13 innocent people to charge and have w/c release and drop charges just for cb stats. Or its REASONABLE to change the address of arrest to impound cars for revenue. Or its REASONABLE to type a s/w the day after you tore apart a place. Artculate that boss.

with all due respect, citizen, as fellow citizen, I suggest you read all archives for SCC dating back four years.
It might help you understand why our CPD Officers are stretched beyond thin, therefore forced to be selectively reactive. Proactive, not so much.
btw, they were shooting fireworks off timber loft buildings in our 'hood'.
Despite obvious potential for catastrophy, no building burned down.
Honestly, much prefer intimacy of viewing pyro neighbors any day vs. navy pier/taste gangbanger cluster-f.
btw if you're citizen who intends to learn/benefit from SCC, perhaps you should loosen up on use of word "clearly".
The retired Deputy Chief was Sam C. who was highly intoxicated. He hit a P.O. who was directing traffic from an accident, because he decided he didn't have to follow her directions and tried to go around her. P.O. was taken to the hospital.

015 District and 025 District Cowboys I highly commend you for the wonderful job you do. Even when you guys are short, you sure do arrest people, stop cars, get guns and dope off the street. If only the rest of the department was as proactive as you. Don't worry about being short- as long as you work your ass off, you won't get additional help.

I suspect that you are misinterpreting this, or at least are putting an overly broad interpretation on it. Besides Department policy has some pretty rigid rules about releasing someone after they are in custody. You should probably read that General Order.
I guess its REASONABLE to drag 13 innocent people to charge and have w/c release and drop charges just for cb stats. Or its REASONABLE to change the address of arrest to impound cars for revenue. Or its REASONABLE to type a s/w the day after you tore apart a place. Artculate that boss.

Damn straight you better read up on your laws and general orders dude. Once you restrict a person's movement and they cannot leave on their own free will you just made an arrest. Why don't you ask all the officers and detectives who got hit with punitive damages recently - just for doing their job years ago when the dept orders weren't even issued. Good luck in the federal pen at the rate you are going.
*Oh and I like the part where you said "most of what we do" is covered under the color of law. Or the part where you said "its kind of in the job description". Brilliant. YOu got to be a merit boss right?

Excuse me sir, my point is that if we are short and people continue to work hard, then they are working against their self interest. You got that? I ultimately care about my fellow police officers. Every hot call, every 1A job, domestic, etc... I am there!
