...and Another Shooting
- Chicago police shot and wounded a man who, according to a police union official, advanced an officer while wielding a tire iron late Sunday night in the South Austin neighborhood on the city's West Side.
No officers were injured in the shooting that occurred just before 11:30 p.m. in am alley in the 200 block of North Lockwood Avenue, according to Chicago police and the Independent Police Review Authority.
Officers assigned to violence reduction in the area stopped to question four men in an alley near Fulton Street and Lockwood Avenue when two of the men ran away, said Pat Camden, a spokesman for the Fraternal Order of Police, which represents the department's rank-and-file officers.
As the officers chased after the fleeing men, one of the cops hopped a fence to search a nearby alley when he was accosted, according to Camden.
"All of a sudden the bad guy jumps out of the bushes with a tire iron in his hand," Camden said.
"Needless to say, he got shot," Camden said.
All officers are OK.

I think that President Camden should get off the HIRE MORE OFFICERS bandwagon. This is where any new dollars would go. I would rather be paid more. We cannot strike to save our step raises. WE CAN WORK OVERTIME to earn more money, but is that what I want to do NO! I want more money for the work I do.
It is pandering to the retirees to get more people paying into the system. I think HIRE MORE OFFICERS is a NOT a solution to any of the CPD problems.
We need more money in the paychecks, on the step raises, because no one (less than 10% maybe) is getting promoted on this job. Out of grade pay, D2, D2A, and D3 are going the way down a narrowing path.
Hire new police does not help me, President Camden what other negotiation items are on the table?
Quote of the century. Smartly stated.
LMAO, Outfreaken standing!
Good one Pat!
Good job officers, I am glad you are ok. Cant wait to see the lawsuit, I was just protecting myself, I didn't know he was a cop, thought the guy was trying to rob me, I would never hurt an officer. Why did he shot me?
OT- but hilarious. My buddies work in 020 and were ordered to get contact cards by the end of their shift. They were told if they did not get any they were to drop a TO-FROM if they did not. At the end of their tour the Sgt was upset and said drop paper.
Now I don't remember what was written on the to from but it was something like, show me where there is an oder where R/O has to write a contact card and where is the quota?. The Sgt takes it and Trahanas-sp, gets ahold of the paperwork. She flips out and goes to roll call and goes off on the P.Os. She tells on of the P.O.s, "I looked up your activity for the year, you have not written a mover all year, is this correct?' Officer says, "No, I have not written a mover in 7 years".
She then tells them that she is going to ride with them that night and show them how to get contact cards and movers. You can't make this shit up. It is freaking hilarious. Sounds like the Sgt was trying to bully that watch into getting contact cards and was called on his bluff. And then penny to actually go out and ride with them? Wow, why is it that in 020 they have nothing but BOZOs?
Hey Penny you can't find your ass hole cause your ass is too big, do you think you can find a mover, and to the Sgt who told them to drop paper, you are a dumb ass. Pull out the order and show me where we are told to write X amount of contact cards!

HotAir.com asks if the police have rights. Interesting case of a bank robber dressed in a bee keeper mask. No further description, but the bank GPS'ed the dough bag. Police blocked off the intersection and searched all the cars. Badthe guy cought. But Now everyone is crying foul
SCC. I can't tell if Ur pro camden or against him. Seems like he's pretty good to me. Tells it like it is.
And, before anybody thinks we're supposed to raise our forearm and block the blow from a tire iron, take a hike.
Thanks, Pat. Putting you in front of the media was a brilliant decision. No one ELSE is telling our side of the story!!
"All of a sudden the bad guy jumps out of the bushes with a tire iron in his hand."
Eyes connected directly to hands. No brain.
"Needless to say, he got shot."
Well, uh, hmm, now that you mention it...
To all arrogant people that we dont need more help hey "BS" we need more help for our own safety. All of us want to make more money no doubt about that but I also want to go home every night to my family. Wheather your the working police or the dogs that sit and hide behind some building hey its not safe for us anywhere. Stupid calls sometimes end up being dangerous sometimes and if wheather you like or not sometimes you got to go support your coworkers. Im not saying then stop getting yourselfs into crazy shit im just expressing that the nature of the beast just comes your way at times as well. More police a better chance of all of us going home safely. Its not for the mutts out there cause they dont give a shit its for us!!!!

"Pandering to the retirees?" You might get to be a retiree someday you punk goof motherfucker. How's this, I want to see your pay cut by 5% and I want that money to go into the pension fund so there will be a pension fund when you get ready to leave.
Or you can simply quit and go where they appreciate you enough to pay you what you think you are worth. As far as I am concerned, you aren't worth shit.
TO: It is pandering to the retirees to get more people paying into the system. I think HIRE MORE OFFICERS is a NOT a solution to any of the CPD problems.
Hey dumb ass, if we dont get more bodies in to pay into the pension then we are screwed worse than we already are.... Unless you don't plan on retiring at any point

My money's on Penny getting the officers to get some activity (and quick) to get her out of their car at night. I'm willing to put up $500.00 to say I'm right about this. Any takers? I work in 016. Let me know.
Pat Camden is like Baghdad Bob!

Why is Vice Using CeaseFire to Sell a Game About Revenge Killing?
"There's one more sad layer of irony to all of this. Vice is represented by Mayor Rahm Emanuel's brother, Ari. I can imagine the mayor pulling strings to have his brother's client make a documentary about the group the City just gave $1 million to in order to help reduce violence in Chicago communities. But I can't imagine he'd approve of his brother's client using footage of violence interruption to help sell a video game about revenge killing"

Sweet job he has tan for a couple of hours a day and then about 5 minutes of bullshit on the tele
Gotta love Pat...he tells it like it is!!!! Thank You!!!

"It is pandering to the retirees to get more people paying into the system. I think HIRE MORE OFFICERS is a NOT a solution to any of the CPD problems".
To the 1st poster who believes that hiring more officers is only pandering to the retiree's and is not of benefit to the CPD.
1: You obviously are not the police.
2: If you have fooled me and actually are the police, you need some counselling on safety; as in personal on the job safety and future financial safety as well as a number of other issues I'm sure your working brethren will be glad to chime in with also. Keep safe.
OT: This deserves a thread by itself.
This IS an Asst. States Attorney of Cook County (her profile is on Linked In)
If she was a cop or fireman, this video would be playing on EVERY news broadcast for a week straight.
This is a disgrace. How can she uphold and enforce the law? How much does the County pay her?

How come this wasn't on the 6PM News? Just goes to show how filtered the News is.
Needless to say-he got shot....Thats a fact Jack!!! Great statement!

"Hire new police does not help me" - your a complete idiot. I guess your safety on the street isn't important and how do you expect to receive a pension when you retire? Not too smart dummy. Appears nothing will help your stupidity Mr. Me.

You need to look at the bigger picture. Less police means less people paying into pension. Less police also means less comp time. So that means you will see your family less and less. Just saying

Yahoo artical....
Stressful careers are correlated with higher divorce rates
As much as we might endeavor to keep our professional and private worlds separated, choosing which career to pursue can have a profound impact on our future love lives — especially regarding high-stress jobs. “Law enforcement sees an overwhelming amount of divorce,” notes Stacey Dillon of Public Safety Authority Medias. “We have attended national conferences that show state police work sees the highest rate of divorce — an estimated 80% likelihood. Police associations attribute this to the job, as it requires [an individual] to be a police officer 24/7. State laws require them to respond to any crime at all times. The profession puts a great demand on families.” Perhaps unsurprisingly, the high stress level associated with routine police work subsequently makes relationship stability harder to maintain.
Gotta make that quota boys and girls..
...and don't be surprise if you end up in a lawsuit because of it and then thrown under the bus, used as a tool to demonize the rank and file for contract negotiations.
It's called using the crisis.
Get it in writing.
Does Cease Fire have a seat at the ComStat Meetings?
From their website.
"Cure Violence has been active here (Englewood) since 2005. The independent evaluation found that this site had a 41% reduction in shootings and attempted shootings, 40% reduction in the concentration of shootings, and a 100% reduction in retaliation homicides."
Let me tell you something. I've known Pat since he was a Police Officer in media relations under Jenkins. He's the best spokesman you can ever want. Ive seen him on many police shootings and he is the best. The media listen to him because of his experience. Acquiring him by the FOP was the best move Ive seen them make in 22 years. You young guys listen to him and follow his directions to the letter, if you get involved in something which requires him. We had no one speaking for us prior to him other than the city and they sell the officer down the river. Pat, if you read this, keep up the good job and us older guys really appreciate you because we've seen it in the past.
anyone on the sgts list up to and including 250 please verify that HR has your college transcript in the event they make another class in november. Dont let Ladner control your fate.
I knew it wouldn't be too long before Henny Penny started her B.S.

Keep up the good work Pat.
