Sued Over Justifiable Shooting
Two men charged with murder filed a lawsuit Wednesday against the Chicago Police Department, alleging officers used excessive force against them when they were shot.
John W. Givens and Leland Dudley say they were unarmed and their vehicle was stopped outside of an electronics store on April 30 when the officers opened fire at “close range,” according to the lawsuit filed in Cook County Circuit Court.
The vehicle was stopped because it had plowed through a steel door, rammed a squad car, run over a police officer and struck another squad car before officers disabled the van full of assholes bent on murdering police officers by shooting the driver.
- All three men were unarmed when police officers approached the minivan, in which the plaintiffs were passengers, according to the lawsuit.
Except for the aforementioned van, which weighs in excess of one ton. And they were "accomplices," not passengers you fucking media whores. That's why they were charged with murder.
- “The City of Chicago policemen had no justification for the use of this deadly force,” the lawsuit said.

I am 34 with 11 years on the job... I want to leave this crap job and try working in another police department other than CPD. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance for your suggestions, and GFY for any negative comments...
I was there. Fuck these guys, plain and simple.
try 2 tons
Which lawyers are these? The ones that make a living suing the city over and over? Usually the bottom of the graduating class?
It's really funny. How would these so called journalists be viewed by the likes of Edward R. Murrow? He would have called it like it is, and these pieces of paid for shit just suck Rahm's ass like they did Daley's before him. History will show them to be the gutless wonders they are.
You reporters are worthless. A cop blog blows you away. Now go and fetch your fucking shine boxes, you filthy pieces of shit.
Well cpd, you fucked up. You obviously forgot old man Daley's order (hiz honor): shoot to kill.
Next time... don't fuck up and there won't be any assholes to file lawsuits.
Here endeth the lesson.
Throw enough shit and some will stick to the wall. Our courts are clogged with these bullshit lawsuits. From time to time these assholes find a sympathetic jury or judge and make a few bucks.
I'm signing up for jury duty today shit-heads.
It is amazing that these get filed. What is even more astounding is that many get to trial. Do not take them lightly. Thise attorneys can make a lot of hay out of them having no guns on them and if there is video that only shows what they want - lookout. It sucks but it happens
Yet another lawsuit against the People's Republic of Chicago, County of Crook, the only state in the Union to EVER have two consecutive Governors in the Federal Penitentiary at the same time!!! Now a "jury of your peers" will decide on actual, compensatory, and punitive damages. How did Illinois fall so far down the rabbit hole???
To the guy/gal wanting a copper job in suburb? Get the Sunday Daily Herald. Occasional postings of suburban openings.
Next time... don't fuck up and there won't be any assholes to file lawsuits.
Amen!
As i posted in another blog, store manager of a Krogers in Indy is getting sued after shooting and killing an armed robber that came in looking like the old west gunman. Mom says that Pookie got shot by a bad man who shouldnt have a gun.
These cases are never laughed out of court in any state. Name one if you can. What the final outcome will be is anyones guess.
This happens all the time. The shitheads know that they are going to prison and just want some money for the commisary. The city has typically settled with these mopes for 5 or 10K to get them out of the courts and the shitheads thus have thewir commisary money.
Youre going to get sued regardless, whether its by shitheads or the shitheads family. you'll still be sued by shitheads either way. Do what you have to do and go home and enjoy your family/life. Good job to the officers involved. We knew what we would have to deal with when we took this job. Just be safe.

Start outing the money-grabbing attorneys who love to sue the city with their bullshit. Out them, their family, the thugs they are representing, etc. find out out all the dirt on them and expose..use this forum as a means because you know mm won't

These days there's plenty of graduates of 3rd tier law schools who have just as much debt as grads from renowned law schools. Their 3rd tier JD, however, is considerably less marketable, ruling out cushy corporate-law gigs.
You know who needs to be pointed out & ridiculed ... The idiot lawyer that took this case.

try PoliceOne.com its slim pickings and you'll probably have to relocate. Stick it out and wait for the economy to turn around. Top pay anywhere is usually what you are being paid now.

I was pretty much in your spot Officer, back in the late 80's, early 90's. I tried to bail, and guess what-the suburbs and out of state PD's are more political than this shit hole.
Take advantage of the tuition reimbursement, max out on deferred comp, and I believe there are quite a few web sites for Police openings.
Good Luck and Stay Safe Officer.
This is the case where the officers had to give statements to ipra without a lawyer because the lawyers from fop did not answer their phones when they were called. this crew is so worthless and they are screwing us in so many ways.

Lake County Ill, taking laterals! It was on the Blue Line
Damn. I just thought about this story. I know I am not a PO but I am trying to illustrate the mind of a The Animal for the new lurkers to fully understand.
A year ago. Same ER. Shithead in custody who needed a hot meal and be treated like a king before he goes to the bullepen at County under the disguise of "chest hurt real bad".
He decided to shit in his pants. He wasn't drunk, on drugs (had cocaine in his system) or did he have a history of some sort of psychiatric disorder. He shit in his pants because the thought the police who were in the room with him would be responsible to clean him up. No. I along with another nurse had to. The officers offered to uncuff him for a minute and make him clean himself but a senior officer said he has to stay cuffed until transport. So The Animal said he "aint cleaning shit" (literally) so we had to roll and wipe and bathe a 20yr old like an incontinent geriatric all while he laughed at us.
There was one black officer in the room and the look on his face was filled with shame, anger and apology. I feel for you PO's. I really do.

1. rabbits' reproduction rate

2. rabbits' natural mentality
+
3. rabbits registering to vote
=
4. accurately representative government
no wonder Elmer Fudd could never catch a break.
You can talk about so-called third tier jd schools all you want but these lawyers are making millions sueing the city.Their clients gets 50 grand and they bill for 200,000. why spend the money on Harvard or Yale? I'll take John Marshall or Kent in a heartbeat for that easy money, in fact I'm in the process of doing that now. Thanks Rahm! Be sueing you soon!

I hear you! Thats quite a bit of time to give up though, your choice. If you are going to do it, dont hesitate, just go, its not a fast process in an economy like this. Also, being a Chicago cop probably isnt going to help you when you try to lateral. If you decide to stick it out 16 more years to collect, I have two pieces of advice. 1) dont read this blog. Its full of pimpy, cry baby, pessimist who think the worst about everything (i.e. you could mail their check to their house and they would still find somethng to cry about) listening to negativity like that only brings you down. And 2) If you feel that strongly about it, find an inside spot(lock up, desk, unit) or a slow district, and dont listen to the bullshit. Keep your head down and ride it out. 16 years sounds like a long time but time fly's. If you decide to go somewhere else, leave this Godforsaken state and go west to Nevada or Az. They always hire and usually appreciate hard work. If you go, just realize one thing. Its not going to be Chicago and you wont get away with half the shit we do. Accept the fact that writing tickets and locking up drunks is usually the norm in smaller towns, but thats ok. The bright side is, your attitude will be better and your stress will be minimal.. GOOD LUCK!!
"The vehicle was stopped because it had plowed through a steel door, rammed a squad car, run over a police officer and struck another squad car before officers disabled the van full of assholes bent on murdering police officers by shooting the driver."
Picky, picky, picky.
This is a perfectly valid lawsuit if you simply ignore all of the facts.
