Thanks Channel 7

We wrote about the 6-year-old getting shot during a game of Cops & Robbers earlier today. But only Channel 7 could inadvertently make the story even better. Did anyone see the picture that accompanied the story?

Here's the link to the video story. Hurry and watch it before it disappears down the memory hole.

OT: Another Heart Warming story!!!!

A man trying to steal a radiator from a South Chicago home was ambushed by a resident with a .22 caliber rifle early Monday morning, police said.

The man shot the intruder "multiple" times in the legs and groin area at about 1:35 a.m., police said, and the intruder took off running.

Police say he made it from the home in the 9000 block of South Houston Avenue to 91st Street and Commercial Avenue -- about one block -- before collapsing in the street.

Stand up for yourselves citizens, it's about time!

I saw this on the news last night! Seriously, of all the pictures to put up.

Quote from baby mama regarding brother, "He always showing him guns and stuff like that."

If you knew your brother was showing your 6 year old guns, why would you be surprised he got shot?

Hood rat mentality.

I love how the photo is in the background as the anchors begin the story. And how they show the kid in the hospital with an oxygen tube to try to do damage control and draw sympathy. And Mama? F*** you about the poleece "snatching" the phone from your wonderful family member who called to tell you that yo' baby had been shot.

First and foremost, what a crap family. Secondly, I find it interesting that every time there is a shooting of a younger kid the only picture the family can seem to produce is one where the kid is flashing gang signs. Nice family who has their children pose while making gang signs. Also, would you give the media a picture of your kid laying in the hospital bed? Anything for attention. Animals!

Ok, let me see if I got this straight. A 6 year old boy is shot by his 14 year old uncle? His mothers brother is 8 years older than him?

Second, I could swear the 6 year old kid in the picture was throwing gang signs. Was it my imagination that the news kind of blurred that part out?

I guess the only pictures the family has of this kid is of him throwing up gang signs.

What was going on in 006 last night? I thought the Tact team was just about to walk out.

The Tactical LT GE is the worst around.

11/12/2011 08:03:00 PM

Let's get one thing straight, who ever wrote this does not know the tactical Lt. from 006th District. While most Lt's hide in nicer Districts this one is a REAL work horse, backs up his guys and girls and does REAL police work them in the field. Hell, he even saved the life of one of his tactical PO's that was shot last year in September by putting himself in the line of fire while dragging the PO on the ground to safety.

The REAL story is that the PO's in question are NOT from 006 but from 004. Brought to the district by the new cry baby Commander who can't understand why he hasn't been promoted (probably because he is not much of a people person to begin with or even understand when he see's the REAL POLICE doing EXCELLENT police work). This 406 team, because that is what they REALLY are, were suppose to change their days off to allow a 006th district tact team to go to G8/Nato riot training which is mandated by the Department. However, this did not settle well with THOSE primadonas being the Commander EC's hand pick people. Oh well when EC realizes that if you have FAITH in the tactical teams of YOUR district, YOU too might be able to make DEPUTY CHIEF!

"Imma get me a gun too... (Why?) cuz imma be da Po-leece!"

This is the same dirty shit but with pictures...

Fuck these fools & the mule shit they had a hand in foisting on this city and Police Department over the years.

We sincerely hope the media assclowns one day have a dire need for Police response only to get a laugh track on their 911 call as the greater urban dooky-birds snatch them up and fly their funky asses away to the dooky-bird den of iniquity...

WTF?

---------------------------

(Reuters) - A New York woman cleared of murder charges in the shooting death of her retired police officer husband was sentenced to five years in prison on Thursday for gun possession, a decision her lawyer described as disheartening.

In a case seen as a test of the battered-woman defense, Barbara Sheehan, 50, was acquitted of second-degree murder last month after her lawyers successfully argued that she fired a gun at her husband only after he threatened to kill her.

She and her children testified during her trial about the violent household ruled by Raymond Sheehan, 49, a former New York City police sergeant. Both the prosecution and defense said the beatings and bruises came to an end on February 18, 2008, when Sheehan shot her husband 11 times in their Queens home.

She was sentenced in state Supreme Court in Queens to five years in prison and two years of probation on the unlawful gun possession charge, based on her use of her husband's weapons. She had faced a possible sentence of 3-1/2 to 15 years.

Note to 3rd Watch Bt. 1405 working yesterday evening. When you decide to drive 10MPH checking out the scenery on Milwaukee/North/Damen please don't obstruct traffic.

We were in a covert car trying to do police work and you were impairing our abilities immensely. If you want to checkout the guys/girls park in the future.

OFF TOPIC:

Mayor’s letter


“To go against the dominant thinking of your friends, of most of the people you see every day, is perhaps the most difficult act of heroism you can perform.”

~ Theodore H. White




I am thrilled that our search for a Police Chief has yielded one of the top police management professionals in the region. I have appointed Ernest Brown as Darien Police Chief. Chief Brown, who currently leads the Division of Patrol for the City of Chicago, has had an extremely honorable career in law enforcement and brings a tremendous amount of experience and leadership to Darien. Chief Brown will begin on November 16th. A citizen search committee provided extremely valuable assistance in our search for a new chief. The committee, Administrator Vana, and I found Chief Brown to possess a strong strategic mind to ensure safety in Darien, but also highly principled with a desire to lead our police department as a service organization. During our interview he focused on the importance of community involvement in policing and transparency within the department. Along with former Mayor Carmen Soldato, over the past two decades I have encouraged making the City of Darien more available to residents, not only by implementing a user-friendly website, e-mail notifications, and information on a cable channel, but also by hiring staff that are readily available to meet with residents, answer questions and solve their problems. Chief Brown will continue our efforts to ensure our department is transparent and focused on service to the community.

Chief Brown has begun the process of meeting the residents and staff of Darien by attending community events and meetings. Both he and I are available to discuss any questions or concerns you may have about the department or issues in your neighborhood. Please always feel free to contact City Hall with any questions at (630) 852-5000.

Have a safe and joyous holiday season, from all of us at the City of Darien



Respectfully,

Kathleen Weaver
City of Darien, Mayor

So it's true? Barf!

***********************************

Chief Ernest Brown
Mr. Ernest Brown was born
in Chicago and spent
time growing up on the
near west side in the Abla Homes.
Later he lived in the South Shore
community and graduated from
South Shore High School. He
pursued pre-medical studies at
Roosevelt University, but left school
without completing a degree to join
the United States Air Force.
In 1982 he joined the Chicago
Police Department and began with
impressive early career assignments
in internal affairs, tactical officer
unit, and narcotics investigator.
In 1990 he was promoted to
Sergeant and worked in the Education/Training Division and as an
Administrative Sergeant, eventually being assigned as a Sergeant
in the Detective Division. In late 1998, after scoring 12th out of
approximately 600 individuals taking the Lieutenant’s test, Chief
Brown was promoted to Lieutenant serving in street and tactical
assignments.
Since April of 2002 Chief Brown has served in leadership roles as
Commander of the 003rd District, Assistant Deputy Superintendent,
Chief of the Organized Crime Division, and Deputy Superintendent-
Bureau of Patrol. Chief Brown’s successful and proud career is
evidenced by the continued promotions he received from the 4 most
recent Chicago Police Superintendents; Hillard, Kline, Weiss and
McCarthy. Chief Brown has had an extremely honorable career in
law enforcement and brings a tremendous amount of experience and
leadership to Darien. His police career includes an award history of
129 recognized achievements, highlighted by receiving a department
commendation for his courage under fire and his commitment to
protect citizens without regard for his own personnel safety. Earnest
has a Bachelors Degree in Criminal Justice and has completed
graduate level course work.

watch your ass

Police say Occupy San Francisco protesters attacked two officers in separate incidents during a march.

Police spokesman Carlos Manfredi tells the Los Angeles Times officers were trying to keep marchers out of the middle of an intersection where trains were running when a woman came out of the crowd, slashed an officer's hand with a pen knife or razor blade, then disappeared back into the crowd before he realized he'd been cut.

Later at the same location, police say a man came out of the crowd and grabbed an officer's radio, and when the officer chased him another protester pushed the officer, cut his face and tore his uniform.

Police could not find the attackers and no one has been arrested.

Both officers were treated at the scene and released.

OT: Another Heart Warming story!!!!

A man trying to steal a radiator from a South Chicago home was ambushed by a resident with a .22 caliber rifle early Monday morning, police said.

The man shot the intruder "multiple" times in the legs and groin area at about 1:35 a.m., police said, and the intruder took off running.

Police say he made it from the home in the 9000 block of South Houston Avenue to 91st Street and Commercial Avenue -- about one block -- before collapsing in the street.

Stand up for yourselves citizens, it's about time!

I don't doubt there is other work you could be doing, so go do it. Don't spend all that time stopping cars, especially if you believe them to be police officers (don't make me spell it out).

Before I came to CPD, I worked in a nearby suburb. Some nights there seemed to be a lot of CPD on the road. I put away the radar gun & did something else.

We appreciate your professional courtesy. An will show you the same.

To 1007-
I pray that you are not the Police. A real Police Officer would NEVER refer to another in such a disrespectful manner as you did when you referred to the 013th District Officer as a "punk" At least not on a public blog. A real Policeman would meet him behind the station or other similar place for "further discussion".

I know that Officer from 013. He is far from a punk but is in fact a real good guy and an excellent Policeman.

Now, 1007, I've not hidden behind some anonymous blog name like you have done. How bout you doing the same by identifying yourself. If you are going to call another Officer a "punk", how about having the balls to either do it to his face or by posting your real name when you feel the need to act like some street jagoff.

Eddie Johnson treated us with respect and we in return worked our asses off for the man. 006 is again becoming a shithole and many of us 006 tact guys are preparing to return to the Watch or jump the sinking ship entirely. Very soon there will be an influx of 004th Dist tact guys, because he only trusts them to work for him. Treats GE like shit behind his back.

It is and it isn't. I lived there (Vancouver) for 10 years after I left Chicagoland. It has it's own seedy underbelly, mostly drug related, but you'll never be able to use the degree in Urban Anthropology you get on the job in Chicago up there. Only 25-35 homicides a year. These people thought they had a crime problem with all the crackheads doing property crimes. When I got there after about a month I realized something was different and had to think for a moment before I realized it was the absence of a population of savages. Happy smile rest of the day, looking at the mountains and stuff.
