ANOTHER Police Shooting

Coppers on-view a shooting, follow the shooter, get shot at for their troubles and kill the assailant:
  • A teenaged gunman on a bicycle firing shots at pedestrians and police officers was fatally shot by police in the Lawndale neighborhood this afternoon on the West Side, according to authorities.

    The gunman, who is 15 or 16, was been pronounced dead at Mount Sinai Hospital, according to Pat Camden, a police union spokesman.

    It happened in the 1300 block of South Independence Boulevard in the Lawndale neighborhood, according to police.
Grading the reporting, we find the following:
  • The Tribune starts off well, saying "gunman" instead of "victim" and a headline that reads "Police Fatally Shoot Man in Lawndale."  In the article however, they say "boy," as if a boy with a gun is somehow incapable of killing numerous pedestrians and police officers.  Once you pick up a gun, you kind of give up the "boy" status.  The Trib should have stuck with "gunman."
  • The Sun Times goes right to the ghetto reporting with "Chicago Police officer fatally shoots 17-year old boy on West Side.  We imagine that there will be Sun Times reporters lined up to get graduation pictures and all sorts of imaginary family members who will swear Junior was just about to turn his like around, didn't have a gun and was destined to be the next famous rapper to make it big.
In any event, a fine job by all involved.  Well done Officers.

Channel 5 laid off the ghetto trash interview, instead finding a young female local resident who admitted that the "boy" was out there shooting at people. Potentially a turning point in the slanted cowardly journalistic pract ices in this city.

Ch 9 had one a "witness" who said the "police shot the kid in the back, he was laying in the street, dead, and they handcuffed him.". Then she said, "I'm a mother, and I feel for all the mothers out here.". Hey "mom", this piece of shit was shooting at people and then turned TWICE and shot at the police while pedaling away on his bike. I guess we have the answer to Rahm's question about who was raising these kids. Hood-rat mothers like her. And shame on Ch 9 for even putting this bitch on TV. Nice job to the responding units.

Not to mention that this little gem was currently fighting a UUW case and has a YouTube video with himself and his pals posing with guns.

Happy Cinco de Mayo.... Independence Blvd out of control. Been for a long time. Dope boys out their slinging dope in the open, throwing dice and walking around with fists full of cash. Shootings are nothing new there. This time, they f^^cked up and did it in front of the right cop. Nice job Officer! Semper Fi

For some unknown reason the Tribune left the comments up for this story. Typical responses, some people thank the police and are horrified that a teenager would ride a bike around while shooting a gun randomly. Others, from the black culture, assume the poleeses 'dun murdered 'dat innocent bot, planted da' gun and made up da' story so 'day cud' kilt a innocent black kid.

Of course, no explanation for the independant witnesses who saw and heard the kid shooting and called the police.

Many years ago my FTO told me that I would go to scenes of shootings and find people who swore poleese did the whole thing and setup the poor black man. I doubted this but like everything else I was told by older officers, it was absolutely true.

I never would have believed that stuff if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. A young teeneged kid shooting at random while riding a bicycle in Lawndale? Sure, sounds entirely reasonable for Lawndale and a black kid. Seen similar things myself.

I never would believe someone would commit suicide by stabbing themselves in the neck in public but it happened. Stranger shit too.

Oh, in the Tribune comments, the usual suspects invoke the name of Jon Burge as proof the police murdered that innocent black kid. That's to be expected.

Why any decent officer would work in those God forsaken areas is beyond me. Nothing at all has changed there for generations. Nothing gets better, few get their lives on the right path. It is just lost generation after lost generation.

The grieving mother of a 16-year-old boy police shot Sunday afternoon on the West Side said her son was shot “in cold blood.”

Jutuan Brown stood outside her Lawndale home one day after the shooting, saying her boy, Tywon Jones, was an ordinary teenager not involved in gang life.

Hi I'm not a cop, so hopefully can get an answer: Don't you guys have dash-cams on your cars? I would hope so as something like that would pretty quickly clear up an mis-information from the gunman's family.

I know that Michigan State Troopers, and a lot of county sherrif officers there, have dash cams, I've seen countless arrests & chases from those online. But what about CPD? And if you have them, can the video be released??

What kind of record does he have? The MSM hasn't mentioned anything (though I doubt that they would), and I haven't read anything about this "honor student" on any other crime blogs yet.

Thanks, keep up the good work.

On a serious note, what economic opportunities do the youth in North Lawndale have? This self proclaimed "gunnner" played with guns, smoked choice weed, drank top shelf liquor all without unemployment. These things cost money and I'm sure selling weed and a mutitude of govt entitlements provide sustenance. For the other youth who may make something of themselves, what employment opportunities exist after four years of change? I'm not drinking the kool-aid, but lets say a substantial percentage of youth would be able to prove themselves, if there were given a fighting chance and a real opportunity. The schools do not prepare them, the political message is your poor, you can't succeed and elected official are your "saviors." When will these sheep take control of their destiny and implement change?

In reference to your critique of the coverage, I was on scene. The gun was located about 2-3 feet from that bicycle they keep showing. I haven't seen a single photo or video coverage that shows his gun. Is this an organized editing effort to make sure all they see is "some kids" bike? What gives?

Pffft... There goes that cult-like worship of destruction, willful ignorance, death and decay...

Again...

>Crickets... And More Crickets<

>NEW STRATEGY-NEW STRATEGY!<

Heh...

A mere foot soldier in the armed wing of The Catered To Constituency...

A spring steel, wild-assed, bulge-eyed, fast-twitch example of arrested development, lack of conscience and zero impulse control flying around on a mission to nowhere on a bmx bike while banging a gun at everything that caught his open but non-seeing eyes.

2nd generation crack baby.
Chemically induced crazy is all in the DNA now.

This shit is the new default setting...

Meanwhile, every free swinging dick and low-hanging tit is mad at The Police for some strange reason.

Seriously... You devote half a lifetime of study, observation, hands on lab work and tuning in to the "Spirits of The Air" and none of it rhymes (making sense is a DIFFERENT animal altogether) except the politically motivated fuckery aspect of it all.

We're just a knuckle-dragging, under educated Blue Suit so we don't know nuttin' according to the media and the politicians.

That little ass was also probably high as any three random muthafuckahs stumbling and farting down the street...

Bet he was trying to hold his britches up too.

*WHIZZZ! KAK-A-LAK-A-LAK! WHEEE, Y'ALL!*

Little asshole...

Wake us when some "Generals" get slid ass first across the cooling board...

Catered To Constituents...
They "run it."
Just ask one of them...
They'll tell you.

Chicago IS their city now.
Everybody who swings their feet over the side of a bed to get up and take that ass to work? Works to support THEM!

They consider The Police to be indentured servants sworn to be subservient to THEIR whims...

The struggle is trying to keep a piece of your soul from dying, knowing that these creatures hold themselves up as de facto masters of your fate to a certain extent.

The criminal-political and media cabal do ALL THEY CAN to reinforce this mindset.

"Why are you Cops so mad and unfriendly all the time? Oh by the way... You're paid WAY too much and your pensions are WAY too generous. How about you guys play nice and give some back? We're ALL in this together, ya know?"

It keeps the Catered To Constituents (and everybody else)from turning on THEM.

NOTHING will ever be done to change this.

Heh...

Good On The Police for denying the powers that be their sweet opportunity to lie, false cry and speechify at an Honors Funeral...

It makes them feel so "necessary" to be seen sitting in the front rows while wiping false tears for bright TV lights.

Meanwhile... The mutt gets fitted with a West Side "fun-eral" dickie...

...A suit with no back to it.
Just lay it over and fasten the snaps.

Voilà!

One of our elder subject matter experts related a 1960's caper in which a funeral home was burgled and the boxed "suitery" was being sold in various locales on Chicago's West Side as the real deal...

The ensuing Ass-Kickery resulted in it being a self solving problem eventually.

From generation to generation in nigh near Biblical proportions, the mutts ARE entertaining...

*Psst! Hey fella... Wanna buy a suit?*

Glad the officers went home to their loved ones in one piece...

What... If anything. Is being done to address this madness besides beating on The Police?

CLUE: It's NOT a Police problem...
