Cop Shot - Will be OK
A police officer was shot in the hand during a scuffle this afternoon on the city's South Side, officials said.
The was taken by police to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where he is listed in good condition, said Larry Langford, a spokesman for the Chicago Fire Department.
Citing preliminary information, authorities said three Calumet Area gang enforcement officers were on patrol in their squad car when they responded to a call of "shots fired" near East 67th Street and South East End Avenue in the South Shore neighborhood.
The officers saw three males run by their car, prompting two of the officers to get out and chase them on foot. The two officers were able to catch up to one of the three males, authorities said.
As the officers struggled to detain him, they noticed he was carrying a gun in his clothing, authorities said. That individual was able to grab his gun and shoot one of the two officers in the hand.
Meanwhile, the second officer pulled out his gun and opened fire on the shooter, wounding him three times, authorities said.
The officer who was shot suffered a "through-and-through" wound to his hand.

POS....should've been taken to HOLY CROSS...!!!!!!
Well done and get well. You make us proud.
Wounding him? Why don't these assholes ever die? Until the threat is eliminated = slidelock. Take your time getting back office, at least until June 1st if you catch my drift.
Great job guys and Get well soon.
Hope all policeofficers are well. Hope bad guy has a coffin for a bed
Off topic but who the hell is 1720R and why does he hate the pos that work under him? We were working mission in 017 last night and couldnt believe how he was talking to people on radio?
Get well soon brother
I pray the officer makes a full recovery.

Is it summer already??? Sure seems like it with the number shot this weekend.
And 9.5 will pay lip service (if any) and still tell the public that the cops are greedy, overpaid, underworked and need to be shown how it needs to be.
I'm glad the officer will be ok and hopefully the offender dies a long, slow painful death from septis.
Ot by the news count at least 7 shot dead in last 24 hours. Compstat should be fun next week. Best wishes to Po!
Get well officer!
Garry was on tv.... What a douche.
OT: Any truth to the rumor that the city is contemplating 20 and out regardless of age? Is that even possible without changing state law?
Thought n prayers MP!
From a troll: Good piece until the last sentence. "Good shooting?" The offender was shot three times and wounded. I am sorry, wrestling with an armed offender who pulls a gun from his "clothing" and shoots and officer deserves three in the ten ring of his forehead. I am sick and tired of the human gang banging street thug garbage that permeates the shitty of Chicago. And tonight at 10 I will watch the news and a buch of dirt bags will be on Channel 7 trying to put two coherent sentences together explaining Jermain didn't hang with no gangs. He was just out getting his momma some chips and was hurrying home because he heard shots and was scared. But hey, I guess being shot three times and wounded is better than nothing. I hope the wound does not end the career but on second thought, maybe it could be a good thing and will allow the officer to get out of that shit hole.
Good shooting? Not good enough IMO
Heh...
We reckon The Police WILL continue to take care of business when it comes to going home to their families at the end of the tour in spite of the implied consent given by the "smart set" at City Hall & 35th Street that it's OK for attacks on Policemen to continue both in the media and on the streets...
As long as there's no attention paid to the epic theft of the tax-payer treasury and the endemic criminality & culture of elected officialdom and local media protecting, providing cover and running interference for the perpetrators...
The Great War Against The Police and all their concerns continues.
Glad The Police are ok.
Take your time to recover Office...
The circus will be in town for a long time yet. You won't miss a damned thing.
Protect yourselves and protect each other. Police like you have no friends. Everything else will take care of itself whether for good or bad... The Policeman didn't break it and it's way beyond The Policeman to fix.
Must have been a few rough moments, trying to shoot the bad guy while he's rolling around with your partner. Not a situation any of us would want to be in.
Good to hear our guys came out of it (relatively) okay. Hope the hand heals well.
"According to Chicago Fire Department media information, the CITIZEN who was shot was taken from the scene to John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County; he was in serious condition from gunshot wounds."
CITIZEN?!!! According to the story as written, it sounds like the Officer shot an innocent passerby instead of a determined felon that tried to murder his partner.
God bless and get well soon Officer. Good job all around.
I really hate living here and wish I could move out of this state. By summer, the violence will be surging due to the hands of the very people who run this city: no jobs, affordable housing, not enough police, etc.
Wishing this officer a very speedy recovery and may St Michael watch over all of you

NOT A CHANCE IN HELL!!!
They can't afford it now! Let alone letting coppers retire early! They need us so they can keep taking 9% of your salary to fund the pension or whatever the fuck they do with our money!! And before it's over you watch our contributions will be 13% or more!!
Fucking Daley needs a Cell Next to Ryan, Blago!
Truth being said, "Why does the FOP need to represent members in shootings? All the FOP does is provide pizzas. Has any member other than the Haggary shooting truly needed the FOP. They are a support group in shooting situations. The FOP has no real standing. FOP members pay great monies to have a field rep. come out and say, "You are OK. Does a C.R. No. need to be issued?" The cost to members for this service, excluding food, now is over $1,000,000 a year. Truly - What does FOP do? Lets give the Field Reps. D3-Station Sup. pay, and why does the FOP need Camden, and Kato? They are both nice guys, but is their involvement to the rotation, so FOP Reps. get called out less. All the B.S. is costing the FOP membership over a million dollars a year.

Shitheaad is already signed up with Loevy & Loevy. He was just getting his momma some ice cream, heard shots and got jumped on by three guys who later said they were the police. Then put the gun on him and blamed him for shooting the poleese.
He's in his church choir, is good with his little sister, loves his momma and is aspiring to be a rap artist and wants to turn his life around. He is 18 and has been in prison and is on felony probation for bullshit.
Semper fi devil dog
cltv/wgn running video of shitheads family saying they did not have to shoot him that many times and that they "assasinated" him
I saw the Channel 7 report tonight.
Not sure if it was mama or grandma, but kid was never in trouble, cops stopped kid, stepped on his neck and then shot him. It was beyond hilarious.
Not sure why mama/grandma was in the area to witness this, but she needed to work on her acting ability, no crying, screaming, etc., just matter of the fact.
Had a FTO in 007 in the early 80's,who told me"life is cheap in the ghetto,till you shoot one of these idiots,then it becomes expensive, but never let that stop you from shooting some a--hole" I never forgot those words, he also said "they can sue you but you won't go to jail for a good shooting"
Anyone have any info on the fugitive apprehension unit? Is it good? Bad? Perks?
In defense of 1720r and all officers out there, I applaud him. He stepped up and was a boss, when I got on this job all the bosses took care of business. He saw two cars drive by and never stop to assist, took action and let everyone know that would not be tolerated. Your life may depend on another officer some day and would want them to just drive by. We need lots more like him and from what I understand the po's on first watch no longer are going to be able to do nothing, there was a changing of the guard. Hold on boys and girls the real bosses are coming back. If your unhappy im sure 005, or, 007 would love to have you. Most of them have never been anywhere but 017, they should give thanks every day because there are hundreds of officers that would love their spot.

Have YOU ever tried to shoot a lunatic while he was battling your partner, hand to hand? If not, SHUT THE HELL UP about the quality of the partner's shooting ability.

The only reason the City would do this is to intentionally bankrupt our pension fund.
Did anyone watch the channel 7 news Sunday night? The ghetto template was in full effect! The lady had the audacity to get on television and say that the cop shot himself... GTFOH!

Uh oh. This is gonna give Super Dave an ulcer!
The stress of it all has him at the cracking point.
Great job. Glad the officer was only wounded. I hope it wasn't his right hand that was injured. With the new medical policy he only has 365 days before he's booted off the job. A lot of thanks to someone who took an armed offender off the street and took one for the team. Get well officer.
Is it me, or has there been a shift in the words used by the media? I haven't seen the word 'victim' lately when referring to someone shot by police. I've been watching the descriptors used by the media, and have been wondering if they finally get it.
Oh wait. What was I thinking?

Think about a hole in your hand good citizens. Think that hand will be much good for the rest of your life?
This is what we go to work looking at. The possibility some thug will kill us over nothing and a Mayor that thinks of us as a problem.
Get well soon MP, take your time to heal.
Hippy Chick
Best Wishes to the wounded officer for a full recovery.
You guys criticizing because the asshole is still stealing oxygen, you weren't there shut the f**K up. Until you have been in combat or an on the job shooting you have no idea what its like. These officer did an excellent job considering the circumstances. Think about this, some pos tries to kill them, then they read what you fucktards write and and are going to feel like their own brothers in blue don't even have their back. There's a thing called PTSS. Its real and it can mess a good policeman up so stop adding salt to the wound.
The officers involved did a great job, I'm am proud to be CPD because of men & women like you. Nice job!
Hope you are doing well. Get well soon. Everyone please be safe out there. Remeber do it to them before they do it to you!!!
Must have been a few rough moments, trying to shoot the bad guy while he's rolling around with your partner. Not a situation any of us would want to be in.

I was thinking that...wasn't there. Hey, armchair coppers...STFU. It's usually the guy you'd never want to work with that is constantly telling you how he'd do it.
Get well, office. Good job guys.
Off topic but who the hell is 1720R and why does he hate the pos that work under him? We were working mission in 017 last night and couldnt believe how he was talking to people on radio?
017 is FULL of weird po's and supervisors, trust me, I work there.
re 017, if this is sgt N, many people stay away from his non emergency assists, he finds all kinds of questionable things, and some things he has asked po's to do, including myself, (while on police car videotape), are downright penitentiary material.
so relax, if he finds work or not,or you think he's a good boss or not, im surprised himself or other po's have not been in federal court. once again, trust me. this is not 1976.
1720r needs to be called out for his big mouth and intimidation.any old timers there to straighten that situation out?
Yeah, and he only had the gun in his possession because his "momma" keeps it
for protection and he had it
so his "supplier" could match it with the right ammo. Yeah, right. To bad
the officer did not shoot
your punk a*s in the head
and put you out of your and
everybody's misery. Good
shooting officer 2 and watch
each other's backs.
I saw the 10pm chanel 7 news, this was one of the most one-sided , anti police news items in a while.

What do you know about the truth? You have never been in a shooting, you sound more like a house mouse. If you have been in a shooting tell us where and when. I was, and I was glad that the Fop came out and was there for me. Yes, there were pizza's, but I don't see where your coming up with this b.s. 1,000,000.oo dollar figure. Please do the math for us.
who gives a shit about another t.v. falling. why is this shit making the news??

To the fucking GOOF that posted "I hope the officer wasn't shot in his right hand he only has 365 days on medical policy" Why don't you get a fucking life first of all jagoff... secondly.. I would believe it is considered an IOD Dickface. Read the order... what a complete uneducated tool you are... hope you are not really the police...

The city has no right to change anything in the pension code nor can they. It has to be done via Legislation in Springfield and that will never happen... You will still have to work.

Umm, we can't just do what we want anymore. Down 2 cars, the wagon is a beat car and wonder boy gets busy and makes sure 2 more cars are down on his arrests and then wonders why he can't get backup on a Friday or Saturday night? While I applaud his initiative, I condemn his timing. He routinely gets busy when we have downed beats and then we get really short because he finds people to arrest. I'm not whining here, I do the work as it comes, but citizens calling for service have to wait because no one is available to answer calls and I mean WAIT for an hour.
He could clown like he does if we had enough officers on the watch, but we DON'T. The only thing we have enough of is Sgts. We got those, we just don't have cops in all the beat cars.

Remember what Rahm tried to do recently via that dickhead rep from Oswego. That was because the money in the Pension Fund was mostly from taxpayers and Rahm needed to have the total majority on the board to watch out for taxpayers interests.
I asked public meetings of professional people "Would you want Rahm to have total control of your pension?
Response: HELL NO!
We need to keep a close eye on these thieves and make them FEAR US!
P.S. Good job and get well officers.
In defense of 1720r and all officers out there.....,He took action.... we need lots more like him .....there was a changing of the guard.... Most of them have never been anywhere but 017,
----------------------------------------------------------------
1720R RN was ordered to take action and do the write up by Lt Serb. Otherwised he would have ignored it like so many F ups under his supervision! We have plenty like him on this job that blame blue shirts for all their own failings and never have a promising word for anyone but themselves! What change asshat Serb was here before as a Sgt. No change here just a return but unlike Capt Dumbpuck he took a stand and ordered (the 13th district PO made Sgt been in 017 since) RN do his job for once!
Instead of sitting in Irving and Sawyer do some police work and i wont have to spar you or talk to you like youre kids.
