I think it is hysterical that this article is reporting that Pat Camden is the FOP president. From his mouth to God's ears...Better than the current guy.
Glad to hear officer is doing well.
Stay Safe!
"The officer was shot in the knee and was reported in stable condition. FOP president Pat Camden said the bullet went right through his knee."
This is a very serious injury. So sorry to hear this -- prayers and best wishes.
Get well! God speed Office!!!!
Congratulations Pat on your presidency of FOP.
I don't even recall voting.
Thanks for your service, Officer. I was very relieved to hear your injury is not life threatening- I hope that continues to be the case. My thoughts and prayers and well wishes are with you and with your family members and brothers-in-arms, and friends, some of whom I'm sure are by your side and giving you extra love tonight. Wishing you a smooth recovery.
Where's our official statement from our press spokesman, Mike Shields?
Get well officer. I pray you recover full use of your knee and have no residual issues.
Glad Officer is okay. Best wishes on a full recovery. Did Shield's resign and,hand the reigns,to Pat?
Glad to hear the Officer is going to be alright.
Where is the outrage from the community, or our own Mayor?
This city is gone!!
Get well soon! All other stupid comments should be deleted!!!
You are the man. NM
They're interchangeable!
Best wishes for a speedy recovery!!!

Shields was there. More than I can say about others.
It also cites Camden saying that the bullet went through his knee (i.e. Camden's).
Just A Civilian (who read it that way, and thought "Well, I guess the President of FOP still has his regular duty.")
P.S. May the injured officer recover fully, though I am afraid the odds are against it.
I wish Pat Camden was the President of FOP
Glad the officer is okay, but I have a question:
Why do officers think it's okay to use plural words in the singular form (e.g. "A Chicago Police was shot...")? Police is always plural. It makes you sound uneducated.
Who wrote this article???!!! "A Chicago Police"??? "FOP President Pat Camden"???!!!! "One suspects accused of...."???!!!!! Must've went to college on a crooked politician's scholarship.
Agreed. Very serious injury. God Bless the officer.
Speedy recovery, office.
Congrats on your new position, Orange One.
My thoughts and prayers to the officer....stay safe my CPD brothers/sisters....
After the shots fired/officer down call, why was it announced over County Band 3 for all units to stay away from the area?
I found that curious...
It says the suspect was shot and in serious condition. Hopefully he dies and it is a slow, painful process!
Glad to hear you're doing well office. I wish u a speedy recovery. As for da shithead p.o.s. mutherfu**er who thought it's ok to shoot at da police bc he's a savage, i wish he never fully recuperates from his injury, and if he does I hope it's a very looooong and well deserved dreadful recovery.
Shields is done after this term anyway. He should also be voted out of his other job at the pension board. Time for serious change.
Congrats Pat... Will you sell us out like the last 4 have?
It's ok Rahm says crime is down. Maybe he'll order the saturation of that area and everything will be hunky dorey.( sarcasm off)
This has been happening way too frequently lately. The beast has no respect for human life and even less respect for law enforcement. The times they are a changing... and not in a good way for us.
Punks shot at the officer tonight. Juveniles. Again we have thugs due to non parenting. Good show of police at the 10-1 called. The super was on scene and even Mike Shields from the FOP. The route of the escort to the hospital for the officer had officers blocking the intersections. Off duty officers in the area even came to help both on scene and at the hospital. The punks think they can take over the schools and the streets with there callous attitude toward life. Call it what you could but monsters are being made out of these low income neighborhoods. Monsters.
My best wishes to you officer, God bless you and your family for your work given unselfishly !
God be with you.
Pat Camden is the FOP president now? Thank God.
Who is the editor? A Chicago Police was shot? Don't they mean a Chicago Police officer?
These are your reporters, folks. Communist and stupid. That's why they're so easy to control by midgets.
Gotta hurt like hell, but your a bad ass now. God speed your healing process and nice shooting boys. However, the mud turtle gets a day in court instead of a funeral. Tighter shot grouping next time. Stay low my brothers.
Chicago Police officer and 15-year-old boy shoot each other
8/30/12 3:45
By: MICHAEL LANSU AND LEEANN SHELTON Staff Reporters
A Chicago Police officer and a 15-year-old boy shot each other Wednesday night on the Far South Side, police said.
The 35-year-old officer was shot near his knee and the teen in his leg and side in the 1300 block of 112th Place, officials said.
About 8 p.m., plain clothes officers stopped three teenage boys for “suspicious activity,” police said. But the 15-year-old boy fired at the officers and “engaged in a gun battle,” said Police Supt. Garry McCarthy.
But at least two residents said the officer shot his gun first.
"But at least two area residents said that the officer fired his gun first."
I'd like to know exactly what the Suntimes meant by adding this comment. Are the police supposed to let a fleeing gang member who is in the act of buying/selling guns in a park just flee with a gun and allow this offender to point the gun at the officer without taking action? I guess it's only fair to let the misguided youth take a couple of shots before returning fire. Unfuckingbelievable.
Great job by all who responded in getting the bad guys
Christ, I thought I was reading an article by Mary Mitchell with all the inaccuracies and grammatical errors.
All good-natured kidding aside about the Ch.5 identity screw-up, rest assured, ALL of us 'on da job' wish him a thorough and speedy recovery.
God Bless ya' brother, nice work.
You do us proud!

Pat Camden FOP President??? Really?
In the knee is a life changer physically for sure. I pray you are okay Officer. Good job.
I have had enough--has anyone else noticed that in the past 5-7 years, CPD officers no longer make street stops of pedestrians? Nor do they do traffic stops of various vehicles, let alone for traffic offenses? The guns are not walking or dr
iving themselves to the crime scenes, they are being moved by people, and people in cars. Daley started this crap, and Rahmalahma ding dong has has encouraged it; Weiss had a better idea, and now Mc Carthy is trying his hand at kinder gentler policing. When are the citizens going to realize that the police need to be unfettered and allowed to do their job. Or are they embracing hte philosophy of a community that makes war on its police had better learn to make friends with their criminals?

That is what happens when you have multiple generations of kids having kids!! They are dogs and need to be fixed!
Hope u recover and the shithead suffers on his slow path to hell
get better officer. hope you make a full recovery. take your time as you deserve it. as for our midget mayor, why wouldn't he make an announcement in regards to an officer getting shot? he needs to be more vocal than ever to let the shitbirds know it's not okay to shoot at the police. instead, mayor maggot will stay quiet because he doesn't give a real shit about the people and workers of this city.
rahm and suntimes want him back to work tomorrow...No excuses!!

Shields was there. More than I can say about others.
8/29/2012 11:57:00 PM
What others? Shields should be there and take no accolades for doing just that - his fucking job. To support the men and women of lodge #7. Let's face it, if mike wasn't taking such a beating on the blog lately, what are the odds that he still would have been there last night.
Unfortunately, mike along with the rest of the mopes up there forgot just who it is they work for.
Back to the topic - rest up, office. Don't rush back. It will all be waiting for you.
typical sun times bs/slanted reporting going on with this story. A couple of anonymous local savages said the police drew down and fired first, and they report that like it is credible info. Also quick to say the offenders are kiddies, and the ofcr. was shot "near" his knee. Sounds like Camden is saying through kneecap which could disable ofcr and is an excruciatingly painful injury . Godspeed office
Get well officer. May you have a full recovery. I know who painful a knee shot is, so take your time and work hard in rehab.
Old Retired Guy
Not a cop. This story just sickened me. A 15 year old kid in a shoot out with a police officer? WTF. We were playing baseball or football or just fucking around not playing with loaded weapons. Fine the parents, we are missing a revenue stream there. Shot in the knee has to fucking hurt.
After the shots fired/officer down call, why was it announced over County Band 3 for all units to stay away from the area?
----
Assuming the helicopter was in the air and the less bodies on the ground, from the pilots perspective, the better. Not positive. I wasn't there so I can't be sure.
Cops bein shot and shot at everywhere, so you know the average cotizen is totally unsafe from the savages.
The damn article in the suntimes read as if the mutt was defending himself against the police. The world is ass backwards.
Get well soon!!! However I dont want to see you until next year!!! Say July
fucking no-account savages
the older blacks went through 10x the shit and they are 10x better people - how fucking ironic
Thank God there was a revolt and Pat Camden is now the President of the FOP. We all win with Pat.

I know. The results of dumbing-down are becoming more visible every day. "Professional journalists" -- getting a paycheck -- who write in a sort of see-spell-say ebono-phonetics, "Staff report" by a committee of them.
Where's our official statement from our press spokesman, Mike Shields?
Does Mike really wear a toupe? Inquiring minds want to know.
TV today -- officer is in a lot of pain, docs are considering second operation -- and offender is "treated and released," medically that is.
If Preckwinkle can get Juvie closed down, maybe he will be "released to the 'community,'" huh?
Pick out a good stout cane, Officer. God help us, I am afraid he/she will need it...
Oh, OK. "HIS knee." Wasn't sure. Same lousy cane either way.
Little bastards.
would the 15 year old offender also look like obams kid
ya know like trayvon
I wouldn't wipe my ass with the sun times. Get well soon brother!
Glad you are safe. Speedy recovery.
Get well soon officer and thank you you to the blue!
I hear the doctors thought this Officer might lose his leg initially. What a horrifying experience for him to go through. I continue to pray for his healing.
Great job officer, you are my hero. You make us all proud. Take your time.
If this happened in Flakeview, Uptown or Edgewater the comments would read "he probably deserved it".
Sincerely I wish you people the best of luck. You're going to need it here. Maybe the luck o' the Irish can help out.
God Bless This Officer and may full recovery be bestowed upon you. Be ready to deal with the Medical Section during this time. The way they make officers with serious injuries suffered through IOD's continually go to HQ for follow ups in crutches, cast, and medical braces is apauling. Just to see where their recovery or treatment is going. To top it off Cfd is now in the building which means even less parking available in the immediate area. So these officers have to park, if that can find them several blocks away. No parking spots allotted at HQ for Officers with seriuous injuries. I think the department tries to make difficult for officers with injuries as a form of punishment. Why can't these follow ups be conducted over the phone so these injured officers don't have to deal with the b.s. Take your time coming back Officer and remember your health and family come first, fuck this city and department they don't give two shits about you.
God Bless You Officer for doing the job and answering the call. As a citizen I'll always be eternally grateful.
I'm praying that you make a full recovery from your knee injury and emotional trauma of having been shot.
NOT a cop > I read MANY opinions of Chicgo Police officers who feel that the City & Dept do NOT care about them, { 9;39 pm POST } > OFFICERS > DO KNOW THIS > THERE IS A SILENT MAJORITY OF US REGULAR AVERAGE WORKING PEOPLE WHO APPRECIATE YOU COPS GREATLY.
Get that leg better soon officer, be patient with the therapy and do everything everday that the therapist tells you > it works !
09:39 Sorry to hear that you evidently had problems with the medical section when you were IOD. That is not always the case. My son was shot and I can tell you the medical section from the director, nurses and front desk people went out of their way to help and make his healing and rehab as easy as possible. As far as the parking, the guys on the gate always made sure he had a place to park while he was at the medical section.
