What Now?

Anyone have any info on a rumor that an Officer's spouse shot and wounded a burglar in their house tonight? And that an exempt member attempted to have her arrested on UUW charges, and when the Detectives refused, he sought a Log Number (the old CR) on the Officer for "failure to secure" a firearm?

Because if this is true, we are sure everyone would be interested.

UPDATE: Can't seem to nail down an event or RD# yet.

UPDATE: According to a couple of people, 006 District. And it's in the 24 hour report?

UPDATE: Apparently, it's the duty status of the Officer involved that is leading to the rumor mill and reality combining into this steaming heap.

I true, an exempt with no common sense - and an exempt who refuses to "have our back" as McCarthy instructed. Therefore, an exempt who should not be trusted to make impoortant decisions - AKA someone who needs to be returned to their civil service rank.

Well, if it's true, thank God she had access to that secured weapon (and I'm sure it was properly secured against children and their mischief) and knew how to use it.

Failure to secure? Seriously? It sounds like that weapon was EXACTLY where it was supposed to be.

How about: if true, this piece of shit exempt needs to have his or her ass handed to him or her eight ways to Sunday.

Attempt to confirm. If confirmed, out the miserable cocksucker and lambast him or her mercilessly until they issue a public apology to everyone involved.

AND THEN DEMOTE THEM BACK TO THEIR CIVIL SERVICE RANK FOR BEING SO FUCKING IGNORANT.

Enough is enough already. This shit has got to stop. We have enough to worry about to be concerned about some gold star hack that isn't worthy of playing Cops & Robbers trying to stick it in the ass of a copper's wife that defended herself from what actually sounds like a home invader. And then to try and jam up the responding officers? Unfuckingbelievable!!

Please make sure this one doesn't die until it's officially confirmed or refuted, SCC. This one got my Irish up.

Administrative action by an exempt against an Officer for the Officer's wife using his sidearm in an emergency situation to defend herself and the home?

Hmmm... It's an emergency...
Something ugly just climbed over the fort wall and not to have tea and scones either.

By virtue of marriage, could she not be considered "duly deputized" to take possession of of his weapon and use it in his stead/absence?

What if the Copper was home and somehow shithead got the drop on him and the wife ka-boomed shithead instead?

Isn't there a passage of state law covering and exempting those "duly deputized?"

The lefty lib-tard, "wah! don't fight! give it what it wants and it'll go away!" thinking has infected the exempt ranks.

Notice that these mouth-breathers aren't content anymore to hit a lick and get gone... They stick around and entertain every twisted notion in their corroded peanut of a brain... These scenarios can and often do turn very bad.

Not sayin'...
Just axin'...

The exempt echelon are a bunch of idiots.

*Hey boss! Look at me turn a Copper's life upside down! Can I have ANOTHER gold star? Huh? Can I?*

Too much overall clout gaming and ass-kissery to obtain a gold star and not enough time doing actual Police-y type stuff.

The exempt member zealously sought to put a Policeman's head on a pike and exposed the officer and spouse to potential civil harm.

We reckon the exempt member would have been waiting at the hospital to be first in line to shit-talk about "Failure To Secure" right after the Copper received condolences from the E/R staff...

Thank God that was NOT the case.

Just flat out wrong and chilling in it's intent.

Does "Self Defense" and "Castle Doctrine" mean a damned thing here?

Just run a cover spread for both soiled bowel-rag newspapers declaring Rahm's intent to lobby Springfield and have Chicago Policemen and their families declared as three-fifths human and fit only for indentured servitude.

Good on the spouse for handling her business like a boss.

Well to play the devils advocate some would say the law is the law boys and girls. Why should it not apply to your family? Plead your case with the judge when you have your day in court cuz ya know...the exempt is just "doing his job" as they often say.

I mean many of us endorsed this very behavior of nit picking on joe citizen trying to exercise their rights to such things as free speech so it shouldn't be a surprise that your superiors would use the same tricks on you.

I'll bet they even told the offender "I'm just doing my job" to justify it all in their own minds so that they can come to terms with their conscience and remove the guilt.

How about doing what's right and not hiding behind the "I'm just doing my job" bull which is essence a shifting of blame to your superiors like they made me do it, it's not me I'm just doing my job following orders.

Yeah I know. There's the law and there's what's morally right.

At what point do we sell out our values and just "do our job" do what you are told even though deep down you know it ain't right.

You want special treatment above the law. You're part of the problem. Change the law or get the law off the books. We do the same thing with Illegal immigration and now with pot possession so that the clouted ones can pick and choose who to enforce the laws on.

Like for example if a Chick-Fil-A comes to town and the alderman or mayor don't like the guy. All those normally non-enforced laws now apply to him right at will?

Corrupt rigged system of bullshit and it doesn't feel so nice when it happens to us now does it?

This should help you guys:

720 ILCS 5/) Criminal Code of 1961

Section 7. Justifiable use of force. Use of deadly force justified if the person reasonably believes they are in danger of death or great physical harm. Use of deadly force justified if the unlawful entry is violent, or the person believes the attacker will commit a felony upon gaining entry.

Section 7-2(b). Prevents the aggressor from filing any claim against the defender unless the use of force involved "willful or wanton misconduct".

Illinois has no requirement of retreat. (People v. Bush, 111 N.E.2d 326 Ill. 1953).

Well hey the DNC wants to know if you're any better off Chicago?

Well let's see.

The Feds gave us a tax break on our payroll taxes, better known as our FICA social security money -- then Illinois immediately grabbed all of that money with a state income tax increase before anyone could see the difference in their take home pay check.

Thereby good ol' Quinn and Madigan and crew transferring the money from our personal retirement funds to the state of Illinois treasury. Hoo-ray for them and eff you!

Hey but you don't miss what you never had right? That's why you have to move fast. Never saw a penny of it.

Stay tuned for the Social Security is going broke much faster than expected reports after Nov. elections.

Then the State of Illinois closed mental health clinics, cut seniors health care and closed prisons and is now in the process of mass public sector layoffs.

The Sanctuary city of Chicago better know as Rahm-allah-land raised fines fees, licenses cost, parking, taxes and water rates. Then they took away free CTA rides for seniors on the CTA and are now in the process of cutting service on the CTA so that the packed buses are even more packed while telling us that the service cuts will make things less crowded. ha! Seriously.

The homicide rate is up 50% over last Aug and the ER rooms are jammed packed with shooting victims. But like the CTA cuts will provide less crowded trains and buses we're told crime is down.

We are giving out million of dollars in corporate tax breaks that are funded by our stolen social security money in order to cover up the massive corporate layoffs.

Oh-look we are saving no-no-no not laying off we're saving. ( Just like the CTA service cuts and crime rates..hahaha.)

Sears cut jobs, Motorola cut jobs the tax break money is a cover up.

The DNC points to some 24 million so-called new jobs Obama created but don't look at the trillions of dollars of debt created and spent to create those jobs. What does that come out to about $100K per job? Oh and don't look at the 50% increase in the food stamp caseloads from about 31 million people in 2008 to the record of approx. 47 million people today.

That's not quite 50% but hang in there because the year is not over and we have the back door illegal immigrant amnesty program that will begin to show up soon in the numbers so don't worry.

And if that don't do it remember that we are now in the process of massive US postal worker cuts. Oh but don't look for all them to show up in the unemployment reports because the way we get around that is to just offer early retirement to some and cut the rest of them down to one or two days a week with no benefits. Think I'm making it up? Google "USPS cuts"

We got no teacher contract and no police contract to hell with the kids and the future workforces education. What we need is a $55 million dollar park renovation, miles of $140,000 per mile bike lanes, and a phony attempt at speed trap camera for the school zones that will likely never get off the ground but provide yet another distraction away from other clouted deals going down.

We lowered interest rates with the Fed reserve game of so-called "quantitative easing" and directed the media to hammer through you heads that this is a good thing because it frees up money for the job creators to create jobs. What they don't want you to look at is that those lower interest rates that they manipulated also hit ever single retirement account with an investment in the bond or treasury market. Retirees money has been stolen through this transfer of wealth. Retirees planned on maybe a 5% interest rate can now only get 1.5% on ten year t-bills. Now do the math on that and see what it does to you fixed income or your pension growth plans.

So yeah...Any better off Chicago?

Other then that everything is just peachy!

A.M. ASS BANDIT HELD ON $500,000 BOND

Prosecutors: Robber demanded victims hand over their shorts


August 27, 2012

"An armed robber demanded that two victims on the West Side give him their shorts...

"Twice on Saturday morning in the West Garfield Park neighborhood, David A. Ray, 29, sprang from a vehicle, brandished a handgun and asked a male victim to hand over his property, including his shorts...He was arrested after shooting at one of the victims, who pursued him, and then fleeing from officers...

"On Sunday, Judge James Brown ordered him held on $500,000 bond on a slate of charges including armed robbery and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.

"About 7:15 a.m., Ray jumped out of a green SUV driven by another person, approached the first victim and demanded his shorts before hitting him in the head with the gun, Engebretson said. He took property from the victim and left in the SUV, Engebretson said. Around 8 a.m., he did nearly the same thing to another man, but that man tried to chase Ray, who shot at him and hit his vehicle’s windshield...

"Less than an hour after that, police responding to a call of a man with a gun at a gas station nearby spotted the SUV, Engebretson said. The driver sped off and, after failing to pull over for two miles, stopped and both men jumped out of the SUV in the 5000 block of West Fulton Street...The driver escaped...

"In the SUV, officers found a gun, two wallets, ammunition and a cell phone..."

In this day it is hard to dismiss the rumor that a CPD exempt would order the arrest of any citizen, especially a LEO's wife for defending herself in her house.

As others above have cited "Castle Doctrine."

Unfortunately the international socialists have eroded that basic tenet of human rights.

In England, people have gone to prison for shooting armed burglars in their own homes. In a recent incident, a couple is facing charges over shooting an armed burglar. If convicted they could get 10 years. The burglar could get 3.

That my friends is what the Democrats, Socialist (same thing)and Obamaists have in mind for the USA.

If the LEO's wife was in such clear violation of the law, then the exempt rank, as the ranking supervisor on the scene should have made the arrest. But like most bosses, he lays the sh1t on someone else.

As for the exempt being demoted for incompetence: Come on!!! Why should he be demoted for incompetence?? He wasn't promoted in the first place for competence.

OK dumb ass, listen up. She's not just related to the cop, she's married to him and lives in the same household as him. He is REQUIRED to own the gun due to his job. The gun is a registered duty weapon that he is legally authorized to have by the City of Chicago and the State of Illinois. Does that explain to you how it's different? Should she have hit the intruder in the head with a baseball bat instead? Would that be better in your small mind than her shooting him with a legally owned gun that was sitting in her house?

How so? The weapon doesn't belong to her it's owned by her husband and stored in the home. She just used it for self defense just like she could have used a kitchen knife or a baseball bat.

The entitlement society now wants police to write notes excusing their kids for being late for school. Guy comes in to the station. 2nd day of school. Wants the desk crew to write him a police report saying the kid was late for school because of him, the father. Doesn't work, they all overslept, of course, probably up all night.

I couldn't believe my ears. He actually stood there and kept asking for the report, finally said he was in a car accident but didn't want to say it because he has no license, naturally.

The kid is learning at the foot of the master, late on the second day and dad wants the poleese to help him with his lie. Good future ahead for that kid. Mom, of course the mom, is at work. Dad hasn't been offered a position of the right high stature and salary for his taste. A CEO spot is sure to open up soon.

Hey Scc, a day or two ago joseph coleman, a 18 year old "honor student" was shot and killed on the southeast side. Well, doing a little research online and joseph colemans was a "rapper" named JOJO. He was enemys with Chief Keef.. You know Chief keef.. the Kid who pointed a gun at the police then the city let him perform at the taste of chicago. So, JOJO created a rap video two days ago and posted it on twitter facebook and youtube. The video is called BDK and is directed at chief keef. Well, the young JOJO was shot and killed and about a half hour after the murder chief keef starts posting twitter messages mocking how jojo just got murdered and pretty much claiming how he may have played a part in it. I have a link to the crap that got this idiot killed. but if you watch the video it shows how gunned up these guys are and what they are getting killed over.. also, its a great view for the liberal media to look at what the "hero" chief keef and his little high school friends are REALLY about. I would ask you to make this a thread, just so those types can see what we are up against and the blatent disrespect they have for EVERYONE. Be careful boys and girls... thats a lot of guns.

Not a fan of our department or bosses, but this is not the whole story. The Officer is stripped.

She was not arrested, the detectives and the district worked together. All of this talk is just opening us up for further investigation and a legal issues, especially of the offender she shot surfaces. Anything to case more havoc before our contract.

Thank you, sir!

Section 7. Justifiable use of force. Use of deadly force justified if the person reasonably believes they are in danger of death or great physical harm. Use of deadly force justified if the unlawful entry is violent, or the person believes the attacker will commit a felony upon gaining entry.

That "or" is a game-changer.

Paraphrasing -- Entry does not have to be violent if the person believes that a felony will be committed if entry -- through whatever means -- is allowed to occur.

This has the potential to cut down on the number of CDTP and trespass cases.

Maybe we shouldn't jump to conclusions. Maybe the boss had no intention of screwing anyone but is simply following procedure/closing any loopholes an outsider could use to bring discredit to dept procedures or to the member involved. Paper is used as a valid record of actions taken. It never hurts to follow through on procedure or covering everyone's actions. This officer nor his wife will be disciplined or see a day in court. I don't see anything wrong with protecting ourselves both by the actions the officers wife took and by protecting our members via documentation and procedure.

30 years a Chicago Cop, I was married to my late wife (RIP) for 15 years and she passed ten years ago.

She was was West Virginia coal miners daughter.

I never shot anybody.

But she did. She actually did shoot somebody, back in WV, long before I met her.

Of course she didn't tell me that story until we were married.

Sec. 24-10. Municipal ordinance regulating firearms; affirmative defense to a violation. It is an affirmative defense to a violation of a municipal ordinance that prohibits, regulates, or restricts the private ownership of firearms if the individual who is charged with the violation used the firearm in an act of self-defense or defense of another as defined in Sections 7-1 and 7-2 of this Code when on his or her land or in his or her abode or fixed place of business.

However they may be charged for no FOID card if applicable....:
Unless specifically exempted by statute, any Illinois resident who acquires or possesses firearm or firearm ammunition within the State must have in their possession a valid Firearm Owner's Identification (FOID) card issued in his or her name.

We lowered interest rates with the Fed reserve game of so-called "quantitative easing" and directed the media to hammer through you heads that this is a good thing because it frees up money for the job creators to create jobs. What they don't want you to look at is that those lower interest rates that they manipulated also hit ever single retirement account with an investment in the bond or treasury market. Retirees money has been stolen through this transfer of wealth. Retirees planned on maybe a 5% interest rate can now only get 1.5% on ten year t-bills. Now do the math on that and see what it does to you fixed income or your pension growth plans.

Federal Reserve is not a govt. entity nor controlled by the govt. Retirement Fund money managers must watch the market and move funds from one asset class to the next. Their failure to do what they are educated and paid to do is the crime. Just sayin.

Well to play the devils advocate some would say the law is the law boys and girls. Why should it not apply to your family? Plead your case with the judge when you have your day in court cuz ya know...the exempt is just "doing his job" as they often say.

I mean many of us endorsed this very behavior of nit picking on joe citizen trying to exercise their rights to such things as free speech so it shouldn't be a surprise that your superiors would use the same tricks on you.

I'll bet they even told the offender "I'm just doing my job" to justify it all in their own minds so that they can come to terms with their conscience and remove the guilt.

How about doing what's right and not hiding behind the "I'm just doing my job" bull which is essence a shifting of blame to your superiors like they made me do it, it's not me I'm just doing my job following orders.

Yeah I know. There's the law and there's what's morally right.

At what point do we sell out our values and just "do our job" do what you are told even though deep down you know it ain't right.

You want special treatment above the law. You're part of the problem. Change the law or get the law off the books. We do the same thing with Illegal immigration and now with pot possession so that the clouted ones can pick and choose who to enforce the laws on.

Like for example if a Chick-Fil-A comes to town and the alderman or mayor don't like the guy. All those normally non-enforced laws now apply to him right at will?

Corrupt rigged system of bullshit and it doesn't feel so nice when it happens to us now does it?

He told us to see how the Detectives wanted to play it and go from there. The spineless two sergeants could not find their ass in a toilet did not know what to do. IAD is who said for a CR# to be gotten for failure to secure to not only protect this department from another law suit, but to protect the officer who is not assigned to a district and who has his own issues that called for him not to have a loaded gun in his home. I agree, more to this story than is being shared. It is always easy to to go with BS than find out facts.

About the only thing she could possibly be ch'd with would be failure to possess a valid FOID card, a class A misdemeanor.

Not saying exempt was right, just saying that at best she might be guilty of a State misdemeanor and its very unlikely given these facts that she would be convicted.

9/05/2012 03:03:00 PM

How so? The weapon doesn't belong to her it's owned by her husband and stored in the home. She just used it for self defense just like she could have used a kitchen knife or a baseball bat. She wasn't on the public way or in her vehicle. She was in her home. If she impaled the burglar with a fishing rod would you check her fishing license?

Not a fan of our department or bosses, but this is not the whole story. The Officer is stripped. His wife while I say I am happy she had access, shot a weapon, did not have an FOID card, may have struck the offender and this department did all it could to cover him and his family. She was not arrested, the detectives and the district worked together. All of this talk is just opening us up for further investigation and a legal issues, especially of the offender she shot surfaces. Anything to case more havoc before our contract. Posters need to get the story right. The Exempt members followed what the Detective Division suggested. Nothing else was done and no deviation was made period!

Great idea. Have the retirement fund manager move all the money to stocks and wait for the next 40% drop!

Just wait a minute... maybe this is just procedure, maybe even a smart move if done right.

Isn't a C.R. Log initiated every time an officer fires his/her weapon and there is a hit on a human being?

It may make sense that a C.R Log be initiated for the use of an officer's weapon in the officer's home by the officer's wife/husband/significant other or any household member.

Just a procedural move since the scumbag is almost certainly going to sue everybody including the Department.

Findings of the C.R. Log: EXONERATED.

Maybe this is just procedure, like if you get a gun stolen, or an unintentional discharge.

This may not be as sinister pr ball-less as you might think at first.

ANYTIME... a Chicago Police Officer's firearm is involved in a shooting, no matter how justified a C.R. Log will be issued.

The gun may have even been lost, stolen from or even legally of by the officer. If it is connected to a shooting incident and is found to be registered or linked to a Chicago cop the incident will get a C.R. Log to investigate the matter,

Some gray-haired wisdom for you is that if you dispose of a firearm, give it away, sell it to another cop or to a licensed dealer, there is a small pink and gray Firearm Transfer Form (no fee for this) to be filled out and sent to Gun Registration.

Stay Safe, look over how your weapons are store at home and are your family members properly prepare to use deadly force if needed.

P.S. to Gray-haired Wisdom.

This is not as stupid as it sounds. If you leave a handgun for home defense make sure it is something the other person can physically use. I had a small 9mm S&W that I could make tin cans fly plinking out in the boondocks. But it would continually jam if my wife fired it due to weak wrists. So it was a simple, no frills revolver for her when I wasn't home.

I agree that we all need to stand united; however, it's career service, not civil service and most of the exempt currently in positions made rank (with the exception of captain which is "senior executive service") off the list for the ranks they were promoted to. Those who have such a hatred of white shirts and especially exempt for whatever reasons, reasons they themselves don't understand, would LIKE to believe they were all merit promotions to their respective ranks but the fact is, the current crop and most of the recently retired exempts were all promoted from lists they were on. Sorry to burst your bubble.
