The officer was reportedly taken to Stroger Hospital in serious-to-critical condition
get well officer. hope is all well. any details where the chase started? where is the copper from? I saw on the news that he was shot in the leg. any condition or if assh*le..i mean the bad guy got shot also.
Breaking news says he was shot in the leg.
Guys lets pray for a speedy recovery and that the POS was caught.
Geez took the ambulance forever to get there.....glad the wound wasn't life threatening.
Interesting...we just lost a bunch of people from 011 "detailed out" to MSF. With very little notice...they started today (Sunday) and the district got a fax maybe last night, maybe the night before. So once again, district law enforcement takes it in the a**. It's all smoke and mirrors, folks. Move along. Nothing to see here.

hey assh*le... enough of your poor us rant people had to go to msf. a copper got shot and thats that. This is not the particular thread to vent your frustrations or push your agenda against the city and the department. trust me guy, we all know this department is shitty but when it comes to a copper getting shot put the highschool whiney crap somewhere else... my well wishes to the officer shot and my prayers for a speedy recovery brother.
Hey second poster on this thread. Do your fucking job, you media troll piece of shit. You can't talk like an officer, because you're not one. Eat shit. Sleep poorly.
'Office' if the copper is conscious and breathing....you take him to the Hospital lights and siren. Why, and I mean why, wait for the truck to show up and then have to wait for the ambulance for transport. If it's me take my dumb ass to the nearest trauma center, and not the one across town the ambulance would be assigned. Paramedics feel free to comment on this one. I do have the utmost respect for you. I don't have respect for your 'system.' ( not that it's your choice...oh and the 'Trauma Momma' rocks.)
Get well officer!
Get Well Soon B.A. To the rest of you officers, PLEASE BE SAFE AND GO HOME TO YOUR LOVED ONES.
Don't think that just because he was shot in the leg it isn't life threatening... There is a MAJOR artery in your thigh and... well you can imagine....
Prayers for a full and swift recovery....
Cicero PD
Once again that POS Weis looks like an idiot. He read from a prepared report about what occured. The only statement he made of his own accord was that "the Offenders were all uninjured and OK". Thank God.
Best wishes to the Officer, I hope that the media is correct for a change and that he will be ok. I'll be praying for a speedy recovery Office!
Prayers to the officer for a speedy recovery. You're now part of the 1% club brother.
Officer will be OK, it appears to be friendly fire. The shitheads did have a paint gun that looked just like long gun. In any event if shithead points that paint gun at a P.O , he deserves to get shot.
Hate to hear-these freaking cockroaches habitually attempting to murder CPD-wish every cop faced w. this BS didn't have to concern him/herself w. predictable onslaught from libtard media/IPRA/IAD/stupid ghetto aunties and instead could just let 'er rip and we'd have one or more less cockroaches out there trying to kill cops.
Just heard on TV news Officer was shot in leg and is expected to recover. Thank God.
Get well soon prayers and heartfelt wishes for injured Officer and for everyone in your family, Officer, who has to suffer this as well.

FYI there are only 57 ALS ambulances in Chicago.
Was at stroger... he is ok, shot in leg, in good spirits, Chase started in 11, officer from 10 th
I just saw J-Fled on the news regarding the shooting. I was expecting him to say the officer is being stripped of his powers because he did his job!
To all those Chicago NEWS papers and TV personalities-
Make sure when you tell the citizens of Chicago another Police officer was shot make sure to include THAT THE OFFENDERS WERE TAKEN UNHARMED AND ARE DOING JUST FINE.
After all it was ONLY a POLICE OFFICER who was SHOT.
Almost a half hour for fire to show up to this. WTF?
Would it kill the Supernintendo to say the offenders shot the officer instead of saying shots were fired and the officer was struck?
If I didn't know better it sounds like he's trying to be careful not to say anything that would make it sound like the bad guys did something bad...
My hope and prayers are that the officer is OK. My reality is that when you are almost 3,000 officers short, this can be avoided. Could some investigative reporter, who is not an immoral pussy, please for the money trail and explainwhere the $$$$$$ are?
My husband used to work out of 011. I feel for all you!
How many officers did 011 lose to MSF?
It's bad enough that there aren't enough officers working in 011 as it is and now your losing more! Just terrible, absolutely terrible!
Please everyone be carefulout there as I worry about all of you!
- a CPD wife -
I will pray for the officer and a speedy recover.
God Bless all of you for the stressful hard work you do!!

Prayers for a full and quick recovery
Per the news and J-Fled, one officers weapon was discharged at the scene and another officer was shot at the scene.
"Friendly fire isn't friendly."
FYI Officers:
If the ambulance is delayed, transport the injured PO yourself.
If, God forbid, the Officer's injury had been more serious and he had died waiting, how would have you felt that you just sat there and complained on the radio but did fucking nothing to help the PO?
You've got a vehicle, use it.

Give him a minute; he'll get around to it.
If I'm getting this right, WBBM Radio is reporting that three officers were struck by the suspect's automobile in this incident. The scum waits for the officers to approach his car, and then steps on the gas.
Too many of these lately. Going to have to start blocking them in with spike strips or something.
Officer 1 aims shotgun or M-4 at driver.
Officer 2, off to one side, opens strip case and tosses cord with heavy, bright rubber ball attached across front of car to
Officer 3, who makes the catch, pulls cord towards him and completes deployment of strip. That way, no one has to walk in front of the car.
Very tired now, this is just off the top of my head. We can't keep having them charging the police the way they have been, like Irving/Marmora. This is crazy. Got to be a better way. Just a part-finished idea, maybe it will do someone some good.
Maybe CPD squads need those bumper rams like so many suburban departments have...block them in that way.

If an artery was hit you are better off waiting for paramedics. You can bleed out in a squad car going to a hospital.
I was at a police officer shot just minutes from the old Cook County Hospital. Paramedics made the right moves, officer lives today.
Great job by all involved, from the officers calling out the chase,the Sgt. from 011 that let it go, to the response, yes it did take the ambo awhile to get there, 2 engines showed up first, also a big great job to the copper who used his blue shirt as a turnicate on the shot officers leg. Also to 012, that did a great job blocking off the route to stroger, and the Sgt. coordinating it; if it's the same one, he also came out and gave the pos waiting an update as soon as the info was known, and didn't leave us hanging. Great job all around, made me proud to be CPD!

Shitheads in 011 like to play with paintball guns now. Some of these use AR15 pistol grips. Scary from a Police point of view.

Like many serious situations the way was blocked by squad cars.
Thanks for the help everyone, but please keep a lane open for the medics.
He will be home today, this will take some healing time for more than just the physical wounds.
as far as having to wait on an ambulance for the police fuck that, I know that there are at least a few military guys on each watch. I know I carry a field kit similar to the one I carried in the Marines. Someone get in the back, use the med kit and get him to a hospital. What's the problem? I still remember how to make a tourniquet out of a belt, I still remember how to seal a sucking chest wound, I still remember how to clean and wrap a bullet wound. I'm no fuckin' doctor, but I was taught over 15 years ago how to but on big band aids. Most hospitals with good trauma units are less that 30 minutes away and we have these little cool things called radios that can be used to let other officers know to close off every street on the way to the hospital or don't we do those things here?
I forgot to add, I know coppers are cheap, but that med kit only cost me 80 bucks, well worth one of my fellow officers lives, or my own.

If not properly stabilized a leg wound like this, or a other serious GSW can be made worse by bad or rough handling. A thigh wound could rupture the femoral artery and hemorrhage before you get two blocks. You might want your "dumb ass" to be bundled off in a squad car but you don't want to arrive at the E-R as a dead ass.
If Friendly Fire, or "Blue on Blue", please see that all officers involved know that this is our worst nightmare and that they have help and friends. This would not be the first or last time something like this happened.
God Bless all involved.
Car chases are not worth it!
Coppers in Illinois and other states have been criminally charged under murder/homicide laws after civilians were killed in car chases. Some of those coppers have been convicted. And in this cespool county, you could even be charged if the shithead is killed.
Forget about the punitive liability that falls on your head if a civilian is killed, if you are charged with a serious felony, even when you KNOW you are innocent, you will bankrupt yourself and your family trying to stay out of jail.
Unless that car contains a cop killer or a legitimately kidnapped kid, it is not worth chasing.
Years ago the department put in rules to basically ban car chases. Realizing how stupid those rules are, the department has not enforced them the last few years, but do not think for one minute that this department will not drop every one of those rules on your head when a reverand's momma is killed by a fleeing felon.
When you chase these animals, you have no control over what they are going to do. And no one will hold them accountable for their actions, they'll hold you accountable.
I wish God's speed on the officer's recovery. I don't fault him for doing his job and doing it courageously. But, I cannot stand to see so many coppers repeatedly tempt fate by engaging in traffic pursuits for a city and a department that has shifted all responsiblity onto an officer that has absolutely no control over the outcome.
Don't take the bait. You won't know how not worth it these chases are until it's too late.
Brian praying for your speedy recovery.

Eh, yeah, another armchair quarterback heard from. Yeah that used to be the right thing to do. Anyone with more than 15 years or so on would possibly follow this path of action due to the emergent circumstance.
But you forget where you are there office, you forget where you work and the type of officer the shitheads downtown have been turning out for the last 8 or 10 years.
Don't you think for one second that, god forbid, in the event that officer is further injured due to your transport or that they even expire inside your squad car that you and your family will not be suffering for years afterwards at the hands of the "new and improved" CPD officer (read rat) or this officer's family who are trying to take everything you own and that of your family for typing to help this guy.
Folks, the rat fuck patrol downtown thought it best to train a ship full of seagoing rats and for the last few years this is what they've been churning out. Don't think things are like they used to be, where your good intentions are understood and accepted as the right thing to do, with these new police, they are not.
Today's new CPD officer has the same "get rich quick" mentality that every other west side shithead has, and they could care less that they use YOU to do it.
If you trust your partner to that extent and he in turn trusts you to that extent by all means do it right. But if you see a fellow officer shot on the street that you have no personal knowledge of or particular trust in, you follow the law of the land and get CFD there as soon as is humanly possible.
Your idea of "good samaritan", while being the right thing to do, could cost you and your family your job and their home thanks to the extensive training by CPD brass to instill upon every trainee that those other officers around you are a threat to your livelihood.

If it looks like a real gun to you, drop the hammer as many times as it take until the threat stops. Period.
Glad the officer will be ok - -
just a side note - very fine dispatching by a brand new dispatcher on zone 10 and other dispatchers that helped her when the chase ended in 012 -
It's good to acknowledge the radio once in a while - we are your life line.
This post is for the injured officer. Have some freaking respect. Speeding recovery to that officer and wish you and your family well.

........Theres a good reason no ones saying the offenders shot the officer.They ARE directly responsible for the officers injury.
To answer the question.....
As CPD you have the choice of being transported to any hospital approved for city transport. Of course, as in this case it has to be a Trauma Center. The medics were going to hop on the Stevenson to take the officer to Northwestern, but the officer asked to go to County.
Also, taking the officer on your own can be risky, but that is an option. Most CFD engines and trucks that show up first have the same equipment and a medic, but obviously can not transport.
SCC,
Working out in DuPage County now and heard the chase on ISPERN. Switched over to to Zone 10 to listen direct. I had a recruit in the car who could not believe what he was hearing. When the Shots Fired and PO Down reports were announced our hearts sank.
When I was with CPD special equipment was sparse at best. Out here we are both equipped and armed to the max. Unfortunately during these times we need to be prepared. If the PD won't do it spend some personal money to save your life.
Take some first-aid training and buy a military grade IFAK (Individual First Ais Kit) for your duty bag. Years ago I had a friend shot in the leg by an SKS rifle. If the first sergeant on scene hadn't been a former paramedic my buddy would have died.
It's sad that The Job now requires such training and equipment, but in these times of doing more with less preparedness is key.
God Bless Our Brothers and Sisters in Blue.
Geez took the ambulance forever to get there.....glad the wound wasn't life threatening.

That's exactly why all officers should carry an individual first aid kit (IFAK) and have combat lifesaver training. This is a MAJOR gap in our training that needs to be addressed NOW!
Throw my ass in the back of the squad and run me to the hospital. 1/2 Hour? Fuck that and God's Speed Officer.....Play the Lottery...You already Won. God Bless You and those that go into harms way every night.
A thanks to the ISP officer who ran over with the medical kit. I don't know if they have one of these in every car but what a great thing to have.
Get well soon brother. The rest of you be safe out there.
If an artery was hit you are better off waiting for paramedics. You can bleed out in a squad car going to a hospital.
dude, where do you get your info? please guys DO NOT LISTEN TO THAT ADVICE, put pressure on it/tourniquet/whatever, treat yourself and get to the hospital if your able to. we need to stop relying on others to help/treat/take care of us. basic police trauma classes are everywhere, go take a 4 hour class and learn the basics. Time is something you DO NOT have if an artery is hit. Large amounts of cops nationwide would be here today if they did something/anything to mitigate their wounds instead of sitting there waiting for the paramedics. get out of that ancient/outdated mindset, please!!! be an active participant in your own survival. Get well p.o. fuck off and die shithead/s.
Lawrence Stiles use to be in 011 is the officer who put his shirt as a tournquet. Great Guy alot of balls. Knows how to the job.
Deputy Guliford is a class act

One thing that should be on the wall in every station around where people will see it -- roll call, locker room -- is the simple wall chart that looks like a silhouette target but has the "pressure points" to stop bleeding. If you see it every day, it'll stay with you better.
Speedy recovery Brian.
In the years past I have been around a couple of "Blue on Blue" accidental shootings. The old time cops and bosses (who were cops), made sure that everyone and I do mean everyone involved was not needlessly hurt.
I pray to God the current administration doesn't do anything stupid.

Yeah, every soldier since I don't know when has been issued with some type of field dressing to carry. I'm not real up on this but there have been some major advances; a new dressing with a powder that stops bleeding very rapidly, and new combat uniforms that actually have built-in tourniquets sewn right in so they're right there all the time.
"They ARE directly responsible for the officers injury.
11/01/2010 10:53:00 AM"
You'll have to explain how a friendly fire wound is their direct responsibilty?
I'd like the poster ONLY to respond...
IPRA is already handing out CR's to any Officer's involved in the chase who did not go over the air. There were at least 25-30 cars on scene and maybe 15 on the paper.
Do any medics or former military have any suggestions where I can get "combat live saving injury training?" I would take it on my own time and spend my own money to have that knowlege. I have many, many years on the street but no military training. I doubt our local colleges have that type of course.
Did a Google search and found this:
http://www.amazon.com/Fully-Stocked-Military-Individual-First/dp/B003EGB56U
Some Army surplus outfits wanted as much as $100. Yes, the City should issue these and we should all be trained as first responders in case of catastrophic injusies but we should self-train or take classes in the meantime.
God Bless and stay safe.

You want at least 1 'Israeli Bandage,' at least 1 'SOF' or 'CAT' tourniquet, and at least 1 'Celox Gauze' packet. Keep ON YOUR PERSON. There is a lot of information and videos on line to tell you how to use these items. A good reference is the 'combat lifesaver course' which you can download as a powerpoint online. Find a veteran of Iraq or Afghanistan and they will square you away.
