Cops Hurt in Wreck
As the article states, mere feet from the triple homicide a few nights ago:
- At least four people were injured, one seriously, following a traffic crash at a South Side intersection involving two Chicago police vehicles.
Authorities didn't immediately state whether any police officers were hurt in the crash that happened near the intersection of 87th Street and Martin Luther King Drive at about 8:40 p.m.
The crash involved two police vehicles, according to a witness.
Get well soon officers.

God Bless!!!
I would just like to say thanks to each and every single P.O. who responded. I was one who had to be cut out of the vehicle that was involved in this crash. I have handled a few T-bone type crashes in my time, and none of them were pretty. I however was able to walk out the hospital with non life threatening injuries.
Big thaks to Sgt. JK and Sgt. McG for the help. And it was sure nice to see Cmndr Carter show up too.
with all the disrespect, and hatred towards the police, is it worth rushing too an inprogress call sending 4 P.O. 's to the hospital? hope they all get well soon, but i sometimes wonder. 30 year veteran.i have seen many of the police seriously hurt, disabled, killed.only ones that care are the rest of us, the police.slow down, our lives not worth rushing over to these scene of the crime with this dysfunctional group in our society.

Do me a favor. STFU a hole.
Rule #1 responding to a copper needs assistance call is to get there. You know there are other coppers driving like crazy to get to the same place you are going to so be extra careful. Two squads, four coppers, down and unable to help and requiring help now themselves. Be careful, every time. Hope all recover well.
Hope all is well. PLEASE slow down, boys. Think of Deny Cole. NOT WORTH IT.
10-1 or Fellow Officer calling for help?
Speedy Recovery
"I was one who had to be cut out of the"
Glad that you are OK. I was sitting with my wife in the ER room across from you last night when you were brought in. It was good to see that the sarge stayed with you brother.
The last time I was there was 25 years ago when one of the southside 'Amish' hit me while I was walking back to my squad.
I have to disagree with 04:47, on the matter that no one cares except fellow officers. My church prays every Sunday for our police and fire personnel. I do agree with the writer in advising everyone to be safe, especially in the high crime areas.
Not worth losing your your life or risk serious injury over ghetto nonsense calls, think about your family. Family first, partner and fellow officers second, and everyone else can pull a number. Seriously you new guys PLEASE SLOW DOWN responding to these calls they are not worth losing life or limb over, God Bless, and enjoy thay HOLIDAY IOD!
With the majority of public and politicians against us, these officers still are enthusiastic to do the job. No matter how much bullshit is thrown at us, we still do the job. We can't help it. God bless those officers !
WOW,we dont get that kind of support in 007!WE DONT EVEN GET A PHONE CALL WHILE WERE IOD TO SEE IF WERE OK!
God Bless CPD and our prayers for a speedy recovery .
Reminder do not respond to calls without using the greatest caution.
You Must Arrive safe to be of assistance .
No call is worth becoming disabled or worse deceased .
The Devils Triangle of Death & Mayhem, that area and every other depressed area in the city are full of them.

You don't get the right to bitch and second-guess what was happening as this crash took place.
Maybe they were responding to a 10-1, for all you know. Should they have dogged it on that, too?
How about you stop whining for one minute, just one, and wish the guys a speedy recovery and leave the rest of your post on the editing room floor? Oh, wait; not ONCE in your post did you send them good wishes, so there would be no post AT ALL if you edited out the bitching.
Hope everybody's okay (sounds like 0240 got lucky) - sorry for the rant.
Wow! P.O.'s Are cutting people out of vehicles now?
Hey Gentlemen, I was a CFD member that responded to this accident scene and yes we assisted in the Ems/Rescue of your fellow officers. We didn't stop and say oh wait they are mad at us or they have it out for us! Our main concern was to make sure your guys got the best treatment we can give and they did! Just ask any of them! Let all this bullshit stop and for those few that make you guys look bad quit being jagoffs! I for one and by the looks of it last night am not alone in saying we are there for you guys when you need us! We have bigger things to worry about getting even! Take care Men and be Safe!
With all the talk about the river incident, and how CPD will not give CFD any more passes. Gentleman and ladies please remember WHO CUT THESE OFFICERS OUT OF THEIR CAR, ALSO WHO TRANSPORTED THEM TO THE HOSPITAL. Just saying

Thank you for your assistance. Do not let a few blog comments affect your opinion of us. The silent majority of CPD and CFD work together with mutual respect.
Maybe they were responding to a 10-1, for all you know. Should they have dogged it on that, too?
No but they should drive careful though. And if it was a 10-1 they never made it there to help anyway. Plus now instead of being there to help their fellow officers they need help themselves.

O sorry to wake you up to do your job hero. So what your saying is if you were upset at the police you would've left him in the car? You guys are all world class heros thanks for responding to the call.

Please compare 'apples to apples'......
It wasn't a CPD member that was all 'boozed up' fighting with a 'first responder'.
GET A CLUE.
CFD member should be fired and locked up. PERIOD

In my earlier post I neglected to mention the fire dept. and their quick response. They showed up and were no nonsense all the way till they popped that door open. Thanks!
And I don't care if what the current climate is. This wasn't a "ghetto nonsense call". When another officer is looking for help, you go! Plain and simple. If you'd rather hide then you have no business being a police officer here or in any other agency.
Slowdown please!! Go home safe. God bless CPD and CFD.. If its not officer related turn those damn lights of and slow the hell down! Know need to get hurt or killed to a job that's gonna end up a 19p anyway
Speed Camera's
haha.. This is epic...have you guys seen the latest?
Ticketing may bring in revenue, but statistics show city's proposed 'safety zones' are not where most kids are killed by speeders
Look at the mugs in that picture as they find the numbers presented in their documents were b.s...lol
Setup or F---up you decide!
To the CFD members on this blog, don't worry about a few childish POs who are trying to start a war between you guys and us over one incident. Just like our department, yours is going to have a few bad apples who do not represent the majority of CFD. I know for a fact that the majority of POs hold CFD in the highest regards and appreciate all you do for us. Sometimes people forget we are all in this together. Stay safe.
I agree with the guys from cfd who commented here. The important thing here is that we stick together. We are all due to get fucked next year at contract time. A united from would only help. Also lets also take care of each other out there on the streets. I for one will always make sure CFD is safe. Having the teachers union on our side would be nice too. We need to show Rahm that we are an effective voting bloc.

Wrong post to bring that up, pal.
God Bless the PO's.
Last I checked that tree thing this time of year WAY predates Christianity. What's wrong with "kickin it old school" as the young people used to say?
No but they should drive careful though. And if it was a 10-1 they never made it there to help anyway. Plus now instead of being there to help their fellow officers they need help themselves.

So its the coppers fault anytime they're in a crash? How about getting rear ended at a stop sign? A drunk driver swerving into the squad. Both have happened to me. Or someone blowing a stop sign/light that took the life of Mike Gordon!
You can drive however you want, but shit happens. No one can do a thing about that!
Get well soon. I was T-boned in Aug still recovering. Be safe all.
Maybe they were responding to a 10-1, for all you know. Should they have dogged it on that, too?

There is a big difference between dogging it and driving in a way that all but guarantees that eventually this kind of thing will happen.
These kind of accidents help no one. And if someone really needs your help, they need you alive and well where they are, not 20 blocks away wrapped around a utility pole.

Thanks for doing your job. We can surely say you don't have a choice in the matter, just as the police don't when CFD calls upon the police on a daily basis for help. We have no choice and respond to your calls and help you guys when a crowd advances towards you or you guys don't want to go into a ghetto building to check on granny because you know you won't get up the stairs without getting your asses kicked just for a joke. This life-saving courtesy goes two ways my friend..remember that. Either way, thanks for doing what you are called upon to do, too much liability if you ever decide not to.
Slow down!
One drunken captain, does not a fire department make. Thanks CFD for all you do. Get well soon, guys.

Thanks for being there and saving our guys.
I agree completely. We can be furious with one asshole CFD captain, but that doesn't mean we have to lump every CFD employee in with him.
Same as I don't want to be considered to be like Abbate, just because we happened to wear the same kind of uniform.
CPD vs. CFD is more divide and conquer by the administration. All you guys who do not see that are truly idiots.
We better stick together, the city is going after us both, both barrels come contract time; no raises across the board. For us: they want to end all extra checks, and no holiday pay; Fire: they want to cut the manpower on rigs.
It will be an all-out war with the city, so let's get past this incident and form a solid relationship, a unified front to take on Rahm!
CPD vs CFD is such a stupid thing to say. You must be one of about 8% of all Chicagoans who do NOT have both a CPD and CFD member somewhere in your family. What happened between those personnel wasn't a good thing but it should be between them UNTIL the injured party feels he has been disregarded and the end result is that it was swept under a City of Chicago sewer cover. Then the party responsible should be punished not an entire fire department. Some of you should keep your big mouths shut because people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw bottles.
•At least four people were injured, one seriously, following a traffic crash at a South Side intersection involving two Chicago police vehicles.

The crash involved two police vehicles, according to a witness."
So you're saying in a crash between 2 police vehicles where they report 4 people are injured, they can't say if any police officers are injured? Who the hell writes this stuff and where did they learn to write?? I suppose it could have been the 15 year old police impersonator and some of his buddies driving, but use a little logic and common sense.
Get well soon officers!
