Wounded PO Heads Home
A peaceful recovery Del:
- In the hours after a bullet pierced Chicago police Officer Del Pearson's chest, tore into an artery and lodged near his spine, there were moments when his colleagues thought he would die.
By the time the father of two had arrived at the hospital March 19, he had lost a large amount of blood as his tactical team partners rushed him by car from the South Side neighborhood where he had been shot. He spent much of the night in surgery.
But Tuesday, little more than a week after the shooting, Pearson, 47, left Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn in a wheelchair pushed by his wife, Christine, and brother-in-law Mark Reno. Clad in a black baseball cap and blue jacket with his left arm in a sling, Pearson was joined by officers who had gathered at the hospital to celebrate his release.
Good luck. See you after NATO.

So glad Police Officer Pearson is alive and on the mend, Thank God.....He and First Responder Officers really did a great job in helping to save his life....great hospitals, family and friends....You're the Man, Del....Enjoy your 'first date' at home and the best of times!!! You are a true hero...
One simple question to the FOP, did they give notice defined below?

Someone should tell Garry how to properly salute..........what a jagoff.

Sorry.. O/T
This is whats stirring up on Facebook regarding Treyvon Martin. This is how small minded some people are. This is why some communities are heard. This makes me sick!
And the media! Yeah right this little boy posed a threat to this fat-ass 200+ pound man. Treyvon Martin didn't even look 17. He looked more like 11 or 12 years old. And here right at home an 80 year old man gets arrested for shooting an intruder breaking into his home! Unbelievable!!! Question... why didn't a group of people- men and woman comb that community until they found that bastard?? Then commenced to stomping a mud-hole in his deranged ass. Why do we always pray and march??? We have too much for forgiveness for everyone under the sun...but each other. I am at my witts end with this shit...
G-d Bless you, it was your will to live that made you come back. I wish you the best.
Get well soon Del :)
You are the "MAN", my blue coat brother! Take good care of this hero....
Best Wishes for a full recovery Officer.
umm, yeah looks like you guys are screwed. Failure to file your f-7 motion.
http://www.fmcs.gov/internet/itemDetail.asp?categoryID=127&itemID=19661
Not covered under NLRA but under ILRA and applicable statute is here,
(5 ILCS 315/7) (from Ch. 48, par. 1607.
It looks like the notice should have been filed.
3/28/2012 02:17:00 AM You should be sorry, there is no room for T Martin stuff here. There are more that enough sites to vent regarding that matter. Take it elsewhere.This is for a injured PO, not some troll.
This "salute" was a prime example of how the bosses fail to do their homework prior to an event!! Obviously they never checked with hospital staff of the route they would be taking once Del was outside. Salute an Officer with your backs, NICE JOB, McFUCK-OFF.
Regardless of the Departments shortcomings, Speedy recovery Del.
A CFD ambulance might have been there if they weren't handling all the other shooting victim's across the city! And the city wants to downsize the manpower of both CFD and CPD!!

What were you doing reading a Trayvon Facebook page to begin with?
Godspeed in your recovery, office.
What was the salute for? It certainly wasn't for the officer who was behind them. It was for some facetime for the media circus.
Speedy recovery and thanks for your hard work!
ya know - as a spouse of an officer - everytme the other half walks through the door is a time to celebrate... although I do not know Officer Del - Welcome home and may God Bless you...If you can - enjoy your medical and your recovery, use it to the fullest, dog it if you can, you deserve it...AND - What is with CLTV showing the license plate of the car he was driven away in? Betcha they dont show any Revrunds car plates????

Something tells me that nothing makes you happy. But, on a better note, I think the Superintedent, who showed his respect by showing up at the hospital and saluting, should make this officer a detective, effective immediately. Now that is a merit promotion that I could be happy with!!
Thank God it turned out this way. Thanks to all the people involved in caring for our brother. Prayers for a speedy recovery.
Good to know Rham's contemplating "sticking us in the ear" or not.
Get well on your schedule, office.
It is great that Del made it threw this. And now has to recover from it.
But one thing just is not right.
In 28 years on the job, I have never seen a photo op like this one at Christ Hospital.
They had to get photos and video of his release from the hospital.
Respect is one thing and media coverage something else...
God bless you and your family brother. Please get better and DO NOT RUSH BACK.
I wish you a fast convalescence, Officer Pearson. And I am simply amazed that after such a serious wound, anyone gets out of the hospital THAT fast!
OT Read there is a medical material to carry that stops bleeding.
Sorry.. O/T

Fuck You and fuck Trayvon.
SCC, you think you could avoid having threads that arent a thread about asshole turn into a thread about asshole. I was sick of hearing about fuckhead two weeks ago.
he looked pretty good and made no comments to the media--- a class act and a true professional--- office, I hope you mend up real soon and are in the next sgt or dicks class if they ever make any again.....
speedy recovery officer....Go bless you and your family
A blessing from God. His Dad was helping from on high!
I salute the coppers on the scene who made the decision to put him in the car and rush him to the hospital. If they had done anything else, he probably would have passed away. The Lord was watching over Pearson and the other officers that night. Oh, and a big thanks to the medical staff at Christ Hospital for pulling off a miracle, something that they do routinely.
almost died doing his job for a ''thankless'' community. no outrage over this shooting.
Finaly some good news, get well brother.
Bless you sir.

Hey. Idiot. You are on a police web log, in an area set aside to send best wishes to an heroic wounded officer who has just gotten out of the hospital.
Your deductions about Trayvon "looking 12 years old" are brilliant.
Did it ever occur to you that you were looking at pictures taken of him when he was 12 years old?
Now get out of here and take your one brain cell with you.
>flame off<
Best wishes to Officer Pearson and his family, and thanks to everyone whose quick, decisive actions saved his life.
God bless all here.
Wow! Thank God. You give new meaning to the word Bad ass. You're my hero.
Blessings to you and your family
The Teacher
GOD BLESS
God Bless Del and GREAT JOB by his co-workers to get the man there ASAP!!!
Get well Bro!
017 1st
The media was trying nonstop until about 2am after Del Pearson got out of hospital to knock on his door and get the picture of his address in the background (oops, we didn't mean that, so sorry).
Thank goodness the officers sitting on his house used common sense and told the media to go to hell. They bitched about 1st Amendment rights, but too bad.
If they ever put an officers home address in the background again, I will call on everyone to publicize prominent media members home addresses. Plenty of legal ways to get the info legally and without violating departmental rules. Turnabout is fair play, lets see how you like the nutcases calling you in the middle of the night after that.

This is the link to a news report regarding a PO from Perth Australia who has come to the Illinois Rehabilitation Institute for therapy.
Glad to read that Officer Del has went home after his life threatening ordeal. God Bless him and speedy recovery.
God bless you and thank God, St. Michael, and the prayers of a thousand coppers you're alive.
Welcome home and God bless you.
Hope they take care of you better than the PO's who caught Off. Lewis' killer. Sent to Area 2 Fugitive from the far NW side as a thank you. Lasted about a month before they came back to 025
Speedy recovery
