God bless and keep you brother.
Get well Officer...thanks to everyone for serving and protecting!
Sending my prayers for a full recovery Officer.
media sucks
Stay safe out there brothers and sisters.
God Bless all the officers who serve & protect. I would hope that there would be a large response for an officer down. Thank you to every single officer who puts their life on the line for the civilians of Chicago. Most times it may seem like a thankless job but you are all appreciated by so many!!
God Speed your recovery Officer.
A Retired P.O.
FIngers crossed that P.O. is okay. You know what is just plain sad...no comments from an official CPD in these stories. That may be coming since its breaking..but where are they? I mean if Camden weren't around who would we count on for comment? IPRA? Fire? Jeez.
I wish a speedy recovery for the officer. My thoughts and pryers are with him.
but it's alleged about the rapid police respone.. lol...
Fuck the gardens. God bless and fast recovery to the officer. And the media could fuck off too. P.o. s lookin good up and talking. Offender is fucked.
That last line is total bullshit.
Email that toad (lford@tribune.com) and ask him if his editors would have sent more reporters to the scene if one of their own was gunned down in the Gardens.
God bless you brother hope your all good!!
"Some residents said the police response for the wounded officer seemed large compared to other shootings in the community."
"Yeah, no shit." -- SCC
I mean, around there they'll wander the street with a steak knife sticking out of their head, looking for another rock.
No big thing.
got to love the "writers" at the trib. Suburbanites who barely passed creative writing in college and now got a shot at the "big city newspaper". get well officer. To the others out there, stay safe.
From one CPD football enforcer's brother to another, get well soon J.B.! Funny how they throw millions of dollars into rehabbing altgeld gardens, yet some things never change. I nremember working there, and during a street stop listening to dude as he said with pride he was 4th generation altgeld gardens. So much for a temporary solution until people get on their feet.
Get well soon, Officer. But, make sure you're really, really well before you come back.
As I used to tell my crew, you may love this job, but this job doesn't love you back. Always take care of yourself, because the Department will NOT take care of you.
as of 11:28 pm they are still looking for the guy who shot the police officer. God Bless to the police office hope recovers fast.
Glad you caught that sentence Mr SCC.
One of the most disgusting, baited statements the lib media has put out. Look at the name of the author of that story and you know he has never been South of Roosevelt Rd but he is gonna tell us how it really is!
Fuck the Tribune and fuck the Sun Times.. For that matter fuck all news media who choose to report the savage news in their liberal ways... We are not the bad guys.. If you don't like the police, next time someone is kicking in your back door or on top of your wife in the middle of the night or even worse trying to lure your child to their car while they walk home from school.... Call your neighbor or your local Ace Hardware store for help.... Don't call the police.
GET WELL OFFICER, PRAYERS FOR YOU, YOUR FAMILY, AND ALL THE BROTHERS IN BLUE.
P.S. HAS THE SUPT. EVER CALLED A 10-1? DID THE CAMERAS HELP KEEP HIM FROM GETTING HIS ASS KICKED?
OVER THE YEARS WHERE DID THE BUDGETED MONEY FOR 13,000 COPPERS VANISH TO?
Yea no shit! ditto
OFFICER IS IN MY PRAYERS.
THIS IS A PRIME EXAMPLE OF WHY WE AS FELLOW POLICE OFFICERS NEED TO STICK TOGETHER...PLEASE REMEMBER THIS OFFICER AND ALL BEFORE HIM THAT HAVE BEEN SHOT AND/OR KILLED BEFORE WE RIP EACH OTHER APART ON THIS BLOG!! GOD BLESS THE CPD AND REMEMBER....WE ALL BLEED BLUE REGARDLESS OF WHERE WE WORK
"Some residents said the police response was large."
That's all it said in the story you linked, SCC, nothing about comparing it to other shootings in the community. I'm just sayin...of course, there might be more than one version of the story floating around, what with updates and all.
Glad the officer's gonna be ok, but I read the entire Tribune story and I can't find the part about the police response being large compared to other shootings in the community...what gives?
Best wishes for a full recovery, but take your time-
We're all together in this job, let's continue backing up one another.
Could you imagine what the police could do if they at the exact same absolute guaranteed freedoms as the media?
And the media abuse that freedom every chance they get!
Then you write them and complain that they are not accountable to any one and the reply from them is always:
"We reviewed the fact of our story and our reporter stands by his story."
It seems that in some quarters of this country people are getting tired of the media standing by the dribble, exaggerations and out right lies that they pass of as unbiased news.
What a bunch of a$$holes.
Alligator gardens was a shit hole 40 years ago, 3 generations later, same old shit hole. Don't give them any service, they don't deserve it. God Bless the Police
We don't get paid for what we do..We get paid for what we might have to do.
Dear Chicago,
NO...If you carry a sawed-off shotgun onto the Red line you may not call the train a bullet train.
That is all.
Offender is a bitch.... F these hood rats!!!... Never let your guard down.
"Some residents said the police response was large."
God, they noticed...
"Fuck the Tribune and fuck the Sun Times.. For that matter fuck all news media who choose to report the savage news in their liberal ways... We are not the bad guys.. If you don't like the police, next time someone is kicking in your back door or on top of your wife in the middle of the night or even worse trying to lure your child to their car while they walk home from school....

amen, brother, extremely well said......
So typical..
What did you expect from the media?
When you don't get any respect from the political apparatus that you work for -- as they steal your pensions in public view of everyone, what kind of "broken windows" message does that send -- ignoring contributions to your pension plans year after year until it's a crisis -- then act like the victims and the hero at the same time trying to "save" what's left of your pension because it's now a take it or leave it proposition --
Yeah they have no respect for you why should anyone else respect you?
Dear scc:
Hope the officer recovers soon. It's shameful that while he sits st home in pain, he gets to worry about his pension. Make those phone calls to the legislature.
just cause on all media... enforce all traffic and parking enforecment on mediea vehicles
now cltv is reporting officer "is joking with new super intendent" as if he one a prize and got backstage pass
Officer was treated and released. Bad guy in custody and gun recovered. Victim officer's partner did a great job in apprehending the offender. Det's did a good job also and thanks to the video company who reviewed tapes and helped find the gun.
Thank God the officer survived this attack. I heard he only has about 2 years on. Stay strong office, we'll hold things down until you get back on your feet. To the officers who apprehended the POS who did this, I thank you.
The Trib is NOT the paper it used to be that's why I cancelled it over a year ago.
They keep hounding me to re-subscribe and I tell them not until they get rid of the poor reporters and stop closing out the COMMENTS section when they don't agree with the writer (who is correcting their slanted stories - especially on the CPD)
Screw them.
Get well to the PO.
Yes Boss! Officer is joking back at you?
Is that what you give to the media?
Tribune quotes Gary...no gun recovered and 2 lines down they quote News Affairs as teen in custody and weapon recovered!
I don't know who is the bigger idiot.
God speed officer, God was watching last night!
I noticed that Riverdale PD responded to the scene as well! (Did the call go over ISPERN?) A quick and speedy recovery to the Officer, and a bullet to the head for the scumbag that shot the Officer!
You know what is just plain sad...no comments from an official CPD in these stories.
That's because they all have BB sized BAlls. They are to busy getting event numbers and looking for an ass to kiss. That's why all I do is answer my calls.
Wow. Double standard. When the channel 5 sportscaster died, it wasn't a 30 second story--it was minutes long and run for several days on every newscast. But that's ok, right?
Get well soon officer. McStupe said yu were in good spirits.
We have not lost an officer yet this year. Let's pray to keep it that way. Get well brother.
BTW, you know the days that the officer takes off(which I hope are many) are counted as medical days when the city uses the data to try and change our medical policy. Furthermore, the city uses the medical costs from IOD to say we need to pay more for healthcare.
Just another cocksucker news rag writer caught in the act of obvious hate of the police.
Right out of the Frank Main playbock manual for reporting on police activity.Weis's lapboy probably taught all these cub reporters how. Pathetic.
In the 3:00am update, the Trib said the officer was treated and released.
Get well soon, officer.
"As of 11 p.m., only a few onlookers remained as the police helicopter continued to circle overhead."
I thought that Daley got rid of the police helicopter and replaced with more planting of petunias on LSD?
Hope you have a speedy recover Office. But take it easy and don't rush back, to the department and city you are just a number.
On a different note, if a gang member did this, is McTool going to declare war on that gang and vow their destruction or will he be afraid of upsetting the reverends?
The only comments by the McCarthy were
1. How the officer was lucky the bullet did not hit the artery;
2. Joking with the officer.
Where is his outrage? No mention of "carpet bombing" the area. No talk about a full court press against the offender and all his associates.
I guess we are expendable.
Best Wishes for a full recovery for the Officer. Stay safe CPD. Thanks for all you do.
a citizen
OT Check out Mary Mitchell's article from yesterday about the midnight crew in 015. What did the lady expect from JFled's Sgt. Chauffeur? Gotta Run!
he has two years on the job and he the officer is in plain clothes?
Great job in the gardens last night. A/2 Dets did a great job tracked down the gun and stayed on top of it all. Great heads up thinking from the Officer that brought the tourniquet. It took fire a while to respond. Could of been a bad night.
Good thing he was only shot and not killed. That soooooo would not have worked out in the Mayor's plan to demonize the Police in the news. Those greedy, lazy Police!
Alligator Gardens, another Chicago swamp-ghetto.
Get well brother...in due time, that is.
Thanks to all who responded or helped out.

*****************************************
Hey you 4 assholes, GFY's !!!!!!! (go fuck yourselves).
fuck you media and residents
The weapon had not been recovered at the time of the Supe' statement. Video from cha helped locate weapon.
I don't see the relevance of that statement, but it is accurate.
The following statement would have been just as accurate:
"Officers noted that the large media contingent descending upon the scene and the hospital was quite large as compared to other shootings in the area."
Not sure what point the reporter was driving at but when an Altgeld resident is shot and expected to live not a single outlet is devoting an iota of their resources to cover it. Last night there were nearly as many media as police at the scene.
4th generation Altgeld Gardens? His family tree doesn't have many branches!
I thought I never would say this, but it is time for some of these elite bastards to experience violence. What would happen if a "journalist" were shot or injured covering "da hood"? What would be their response,and demand for justice? America has ceased to be a democracy; we are a nation of workers, underclass and elitists. And the elitists control academia and the media. We are just here to support the others.
•Some residents said the police response for the wounded officer seemed large compared to other shootings in the community.
Yes, that is exactly what the article said last night when I read it. I just shook my head. And now they have changed it. Interesting.
Heard it was a female who shot the Officer in the thigh..
God Bless You Offcier and hope you have a complete recovery.
Stay Safe all my brothers and sisters.
Retired PO
Best Wishes, officer, for a speedy recovery and a long sentence for the asshole that shot you.
Why is it wrong for the Trib to edit the last paragraph of a story on the internets before it prints the paper? They must have realized that no one gives a shit what the Altgeld Gardens "community" "leaders" think.
St. Michael, protect our brother officer.
Stephen "Bogey" Bogusiewicz, a fixture for 39 years in the 018th district passed away on 12 OCT 2011. He only got to enjoy 5 years of retirement, but was kept busy being Pa Pa to three beautiful grand daughters. Services will be 16 OCT 2011, 1600-2100hrs. St. Judes will be at 1900hrs Kolbus-May 6857 W. Higgins. I understand there is a the proper way to do the notifications, but a good percentage of people he worked with are retired. Thanks and everyone please stay safe.
A wonderful man who excelled in every endeavor.
OT: why isn't breaking news covering that shooting in 013 at grand and ashland this morning? Scared the yuppies might start a ruckus about it with their closest cop shop closing next year?

No doubt true. perhaps worded a little awkwardly.
seems pretty innocent to me.
not a cop.
Liam Ford grew up in the Austin neighborhood. Hate him as a writer if you want, but he is a true Chicagoan.
Get well Office...
Be safe out there boys and girls and take care of one another and back each other up.
Is the reporter Peter Nickeas any relation to the Area 3 V/C Lt., from a ways back?
Get well soon officer and enjoy your 1% raise. Too bad you won't get an "eye popping" 12% raise like all of McCarthy's and Emanuel's top people but they are valuable assets of the City, not cannon fodder like we blue shirts.
Thank God the Officer is OK .Listen up officers , start writing all these news media vehicles and vehicles parked illegal around alderman offices .
TYhey are not our friends .
Keep this in mind. When the time comes, the media must be tried and given prison terms for their treasonous actions against We The People, by lying, concealing the truth, marching in lock step with the socialist/marxist/communist dictatorship of obama.
Do not get any of your information from mainstream newspapers, periodicals, any of the mainstream radio stations, TV stations, ANYTHING mainstream/leftist.
Get your information from www.theblaze.com, www.freerepublic.com, www.drudge.com....they print the truth.
Listen to Glenn Beck on radio 560 WIND from 9am to 11am daily. Also, Rush Limbaugh on 890 WLS from 11am to 2pm daily. Also, Mark Levin on 890 WLS radio from 9pm to 12 midnight daily..free download available on the Mark Levin Show website right after the show airs. And for the after midnight listener, listen to Eric and Gary on 890 WLS radio from 2am to 4am daily..free downloads are available daily for the full five hours that they broadcast ...see 890 WLS for the Midnight Truckers website.
I've been reading from and listening to the above for the last two years...this is a heads up for those of you who want to read about the truth of what is happening in this country.
ALSO, check out www.hermancain.com
This guy is a true conservative who is running for the GOP Presidential position....he is a conservative first and foremost, he believes in and will uphold the Constitution. You know,.. the Constitution that dictator oboma wants to destroy and rule as a dictator instead....check out his website and youtube.com for his position on all the vital issues of the day. Herman Cain IS conservative, not a RINO (Republican in name only) or a democommunist.
Chicago Police Officers, you are now feeling the wrath of the socialist/communist/marxist dictatorship that is oboma at the White House and Rahm Emanuel at City Hall. Crush the head of the snake that is oboma, and you will crush the underbelly of Emanuel.
Vote for a Conservative FIRST, or a Republican if a Conservative is not available, but VOTE, and crush oboma..he must be removed, or this country will become a socialist hell hole.
Get well soon !!! we are with yea in your recovery
ALL DEMOCRATS ARE COMMUNISTS SAYS:
Boycott the Tribune and all its Sponsors you possibly can. Boycotting all the liberal police-bashing businesses IS highly possible, if Coppers would stick together every time they are mistreated by news media, Companies, etc. Ben &Jerry's Commie-Cones was boycotted right out of Mt. Greenwood by Police families and anti-Socialists who refused to go there for ice cream. Never had a chance. God, B&J stuck up for an out of State Cop-Murderer, along with many Communist Hollywood Celebrities, Actors, Musicians.
Take the few moments, make mental notes who sponsors/advertises with these Quislings, and do your best to boycott their products, pass the word, and spread the word to Cops and their Families. If these stinky spoiled, lazy, cry-baby Commie-Kids can protest together at Wall Street and nationwide, we can do something too, because we are WAY smarter and less lazy than they are.
Get well soon, officer.
I have been on an email campaign, trying to call out the reporters on their inclination take the easy path (lambasting the police), while avoiding the tricky journalism, which would be, of course, to report on the nature of the dysfunction in Chicago's troubled neighborhoods. I emailed Mr. Ford about his recent report. Will post again here if I get an interesting response.

sure it does, but they're all intertwined.
So if some residents said that, it's inaccurate to write that they did? Do facts have a bias?
Welcome to the club Blue Star. Little advice: Stay off as long as possible and you will get a nice federal tax refund in 2012 and 2013. Make sure your bosses put you in for the Blue Star, Valor, 100 Club, Police Chief Medal, FOP Distinguished Award. Don't think they will just do it for you, insist on it!!!! If married go talk to someone (EAP) with your wife before getting back on the horse to ensure you that you are both communicating. Realize that the job changes from now on, with 2 years on you have given up more than 99% of our fine officer ever will.
God Bless

Well it's not "pretty innocent." That's because you've never been to the scene of one of these shootings and have to listen to the savages hoot and hollar "Ya'll muthafuckers never come out like this when one of us gets shot. Ya'll don't give a shit about that."
No, we really don't. It's not our neighborhood and we're not the ones that turned that neighborhood into what it is. We're just the ones who have to come clean up the mess that "ya'll" do to each other generation after generation.
I thought I never would say this, but it is time for some of these elite bastards to experience violence. What would happen if a "journalist" were shot or injured covering "da hood"?

No, do not insist on anything. Just get well.
Do this and you'll be a stroke like this person here is, probably thinks they should be promoted too, right?
We are all thankful you are okay and recovering — that is all that is needed/You do not need some medal on your chest to tell you how great you are.
Great job in the gardens last night. A/2 Dets did a great job tracked down the gun and stayed on top of it all. Great heads up thinking from the Officer that brought the tourniquet. It took fire a while to respond. Could of been a bad night.

"tourniquet"...Wait, I thought those 'med-packs' weren't cool to carry per other officers?
....everybody should carry one.
So if some residents said that, it's inaccurate to write that they did? Do facts have a bias?
10/14/2011 06:56:00 PM
-
Facts don't have a bias. Reporters and editors might, though.
I can guarantee you - guarantee - that at least one person in the reporter's earshot said, "Fuck that PO-lice! Hope he dies. Hope ALL them mothers DIES."
Was it said? Definitely. Was it reported in the article? Golly, gee, why, no, no, it wasn't. And I wonder why. It's a fact, right? Yet it went unreported. Amazing.
You're definitely too naive to be the police, so maybe you should consider this police blog 'read only' and refrain from posting.
haha...bosses in 005 dont put anybody in for awards
Is the reporter Peter Nickeas any relation to the Area 3 V/C Lt., from a ways back?
10/14/2011 01:10:00 PM
No.
God bless the copper that had the tourniquet. We had an FTO who would bring three bags out ot his trunk every watch, including a raft. I don't think he ever had to use it, but it never hurts to have this stuff in the trunk of your car.
No, do not insist on anything. Just get well.

Had a productive email conversation with Mr. Ford regarding the above. Was surprised by his willingness to talk and to acknowledge the potential for implicit negativity about the police in the media.

Actually, some changes are simply called "corrections." Retractions and corrections are two different things, journalistically speaking.
