Officer Hit With Bat
- Someone hit a Chicago police officer in the head with a baseball bat after the officer responded to a battery-in-progress call in the Englewood neighborhood, according to authorities.
The officer is in serious condition at John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County.
He was hit about 12:40 a.m. in the 5700 block of South Winchester Avenue. It's not clear if the officer was hit on purpose or was accidentally while trying to break up the fight.
It's not clear if the officer was working alone, and other circumstances leading up to the attack weren't immediately clear.
No high-ranking police department supervisors spoke to the media at the scene or the hospital and the department's News Affairs office released only a brief statement about the incident early Saturday morning.
On purpose or accidentally? We're going to go out on a limb and say if someone is wandering around Englewood with a bat, at one in the morning, they're not looking for Rahm's Midnight Softball Leagues. They're looking to beat someone and it doesn't matter who gets in the way. We charge people who shoot, maim and kill victims, regardless of who the intended target was.
Prayers for the Officer.

It's time for protests at city hall by the police unions and wives Now. In the early 70's COP marched , police wives marched and after another few Police Officers were gunned down , all cars were 2 man on the 1st and 3rd watch .
Get every able bodied Police Officer that works inside on the Street now . Hire civilians to assist commanders , process crime scenes etc.
He was working alone. Not that anybody from the city or CPD brass gives a shit.
How come responding Officers didn't shoot the OFFENDER between the eyeballs?
Retraining is in order!
A bat is a deadly weapon!
Fuck these backwards evolving ghetto rats. Time to cut em off the govt tit. And let darwinism have it's way unshackled.
"It's not clear if the officer was hit on purpose or was accidentally while trying to break up the fight."
What rag piece of shit printed that.
Best wishes to the Officer.
don't talk to the media
Rahm's Midnight Softball League?
What happened to Daley's Traveling Midnight Basketball Tournament?
Fucken Savages....pure and simple !
my god i feel so sick n disgusted by it my prayers are with the officer and his family n a full recovery, a dude walking around with a baseball bat requires a response of at least 2 bullet holes in his f ing head stay safe everybody
All the best wishes to the Officer injured last night. May he make a swift recovery. To you and your family our prayers go out to you.

Never get in the way of a bat, knife or other deadly object to save a non-police officer or non-family member. Just stand back, issue verbal direction and shoot if necessary or arrest whoever is left standing when appropriate.
Recover soon officer, my prayers are with you.
Best wishes to the officer for a healthy and complete recovery.
Prayers for a full and swift recovery. Last night I heard he was not doing well. Our thoughts are with our brother in blue and his family.
This policeman is a martyr - sacrificed by politicians and panderers with no souls.
How long does it take for a certain culture to get their fucking act together? I wish someone would have shot that asshole with the bat dead.
God help this officer and bring swift punishment to whoever is responsible.
From the info we received outside of the hospital was that he was 10-99 and attempted to break up a fight before being hit in the head. Now what tool of a watch commander sends an officer 10-99 on the 1st watch in Englewood. And where is the FOP on this. Hope you get better officer. In our prayers.
rahm could care less now is the time to elect a new mayor
What's up with the CPD K9 vehicle being shot at the other day near 55th & Dorchester? Never made the news.
I am a Sgt in 007 who has worked closely with S.G. He is a great policeman who takes his job seriously and works very hard. My prayers go out to him and his family.
Hey, Garry....hey, Rahm?? "We have enough police officers"? Go fuck yourself.
Disgusting... Why give these savages any type of police service if they clearly hate you. Imagine if there was a blue flu in englewood, lol that would surely draw more attention to the manpower shortage.

SENATE REJECTS QUINN PICK FOR HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION
SPRINGFIELD - A year after Governor Pat Quinn asked that the Senate re-appoint Nation of Islam follower Munir Muhammad to Illinois' Human Rights Commission, the Illinois Senate rejected the Governor's pick Thursday with 30 votes.
Munir Muhammed, of South Holland, had served on the Human Rights Commission for nearly ten years, first appointed by Rod Blagojevich in 2003. The reappointment salary for serving on the commission was listed at $49,960. Muhammed is the co-founder of CORE, the Coalition for the Remembrance of the Honorable Elijah Muhammed. His bio on the CORE website describes Muhammed's converstion to the Muslim faith and his current involvement:
Will Anita Alverez drop charges?
Heal up fast brother
Savages!
Confirmed. The Officer was working alone. Has less then 5 years on the job. Married with 2 children. What tool assigned him alone in Englewood. Where is the media? Where is our Union? Where is the brain trust of the Department?
Questions, Questions.
Get well Officer.
I hope he wasn't 99 when this happened.
Get well soon office.
I hope the officer is going to get well soon. My prayers are with you, your family and your police family.
The 007th district is a busy district. All of you officers take car of each other.
Get well soon officer. May the cowardly animal(s) who did this suffer a slow and painful death in the very near future.
No keeses for the bad people but many for the injured officer.
God speed on a quick recovery S.L.
004th - 1st. Watch
This is right in the same area they have ppos walking around on foot Ppos walking in these areas is just fucked up. These r savages out there and they r attacking officers. Prayers for the officer. Hope he's ok and they catch the asshole.
How come responding Officers didn't shoot the OFFENDER between the eyeballs?

Were you there motherfucker?? It's fucking easy to second guess when you were probably in fucking bed sleeping..
Praying for the injured officer. God Bless you all. Stay safe.
every be extra safe the sh-t heads cant read but they know about the incident which means there will be copy cat incidents.
If only certain sections of the Shitty could be cordened off like Escape from New York. Honest to God, at one time these areas were nicer than Kenilworth so thank you LBJ for your war on poverty, it worked out well.
Get well soon Officer.
seriously if my house ever breaks even with my mortgage, I'm leaving this shit hole city.

Reply: Alright guy not sure if you saw but he was 99. Getting on scene we had easily 50-60 shit heads running in every direction. Females fighting across the street and some asshole right in front of our down officer talking shit who got locked up. And of course nobody knows anything. The problem again is he was 99 which is fucking retarded. If someone could have been shot he would've been shot.
Please don't start blaming everything that could have been done was done. Everyone feels like shit as it is don't add to it.
Civilians processing crime scenes? You, PO Braintrust, are command staff material.
Get well soon Office.
It's time for protests at city hall by the police unions and wives Now. In the early 70's COP marched , police wives marched and after another few Police Officers were gunned down , all cars were 2 man on the 1st and 3rd watch .
Get every able bodied Police Officer that works inside on the Street now . Hire civilians to assist commanders , process crime scenes etc.
You have that right. Protesting got all 2 man cars, but then the po's fucked it up by volunteering to work one man cars because some didn't want to take domestic, in progress ,etc calls but only wanted to do paper jobs. They offered to work one man cars just to do paper jobs and not be the police.
As far as more police, there has to be 500 hiding inside besides the original 279 Rahm targeted and has done nothing to replace them with civilians 500 is probably a low estimate considering there has to be 10 in each district front office, and most districts have an additional 2 for their tact officers which makes up close to 50 just for the tact offices and we arent even at the areas and special units say like narcotics where there are plenty of "office help" making $90,000
Agree, two to the head and let the savages riot and burn their rat infested shacks they breed in.
Were was Gerry and Rahm, if it was a ghetto rat they would be kissing the rats mama' ass.
In the screetching words of Hillary, "WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE". I spent 33 years dealing with the same primitive maggots and nothing has changed except that there's more of them. They breed like rats!
Shame on his bosses for allowing anyone go out 99 in Englewood!
Some areas need to be 'no go areas ' Fck these savages!
Fck these politicians ! We need manpower!
Prayers for a swift recovery or this brave officer
1st watch 011
I am saddened to hear that this officer was working 99 (that means by himself to non police readers). He was working 99 in one of the busiest and crime ridden districts in this city. I remember a few years ago I too would work 99 on midnights on first watch. God bless you and I hope you recover fully from this ordeal.
Apparently this poor officer was working by himself. If anyone is listed as working by themselves on 3rd watch or 1st watch then go tell your captain or xo or whatever that you won't work 99. If you are working 99, then watch out for yourself. Wait for backup to arrive then take police action. I'll be praying for the officer and his family. Let's all hope his injuries are not very serious.
Thats one shithead that really should be glad Herb Murphy (aka shotgun murph) is dead. Ah, the good old days. Get well Office and recover completely b4 u return to the wood.
Where is FOP? There should be an immediate no confidence vote issued for this carpet bagger McCarthy.
Are they still drinking his kool aid telling everyone "he's not bad when you deal with him one on one."
I don't give a shit how he is one on one. He is terrible for this department and you are supposed to be representing us as a whole.
Here we have an officer working 99 during hours of darkness because of a lack of manpower and no word from our union. What a fucking shame!
I am so sick of the bullshit politicians, media and bleeding heart liberals of this city. Let a policman suffer at the hands of the parasites of this city...nothing said. Where's all the media hooplah over this?
Let's all pray for the police officer and is family.
Taxpayer here. My prayers to the officer and his family.
This is totally unacceptable to have any officer out on his own in this city. I hold the mayor and supt. responsible for this officer's injuries. I agree that it is time for the police to march on city hall. But you must stand together. Numbers speak volumes. Any march should be well planned in advance and maybe even ask that the tax paying citizens support and join you. Our current city leaders should hang their heads in shame for allowing this to happen.
Get well quickly officer.
Prayers to the officer for a swift recovery. Thoughts and prayers to his family during this trying time.
Why aren't these no nothing azz bosses sending out teams to Englewood to shut it down? That's right...there are no teams to send!
Shut that shit down!!! Everything moving would have been stopped, searched, name checked and arrested for complaining a few years ago. Those times are gone. I understand that. At least write everyone a parker or mover...poor CPD.
I pray the officer has a speedy recovery.
Now when are cops going to be allowed to do their job? If a cop is not safe on the streets, then neither am I or my family. It's time to stop being PC and let the cops do their jobs. The politically correct attitude in the US is killing this country. We are tying the hands of cops here and the troops overseas. The good guys die while the bad guys thrive. It's time to take the gloves off!
Did G-Mac show up at the hospital? That's all I want to know.
"This policeman is a martyr - sacrificed by politicians and panderers with no souls."
No more a true statement had been made.
But yet I'm sure the whole watch came in with Parker's and Movers for their V.R.I. Blood Money. We are such selfish pussies. Wake Up!
The officer was 10-99 ON A DISTURBANCE CALL?
WAKE THE FUCK UP PEOPLE!
WAIT FOR YOUR BACK-UP!
Fuck the locker room heroes who will shit-talk about waiting for back-up...
Let these ghetto mutts chew on each other until you get enough help on scene!
Be the expert witness!
Fuck these mutts when they woo-woo about "Po-leece did nuffin'" when Pookie gets his m/f-ing dome turned into a crater, lead poisoned or gets a question mark cut in his ass...
Woo-Woo is what street mutts are gonna do.
Too damn bad there isn't a single REAL PATROLMAN left in the supervisory echelon at the district level... Let alone in the Department hierarchy that can mitigate some of this foolishness.
Naw... Too much like fucking right.
But...
"Fuck you mean you want to take a couple extra days off to be with your family, Officer? Get the fuck out of my office and get the fuck back on patrol!"
Pretty bad when the supervisory echelon has co-signed onto the New Yuck method of Police Management.
"Garry's Kids" are fucking this department up.
Like we don't have our hands full trying to manage Dude...
Enemies from within and outside...
The Patrolman does his best to survive.
Well wishes and speedy recovery, Office!
The offender and whoever gives the offender safe harbor should be dealt with in a very much old fashioned manner...
Went to school with the officer. Strong, dedicated Marine veteran. Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.
Officers!
Remember... You ARE AUTHORIZED and lawfully justified in killing an offender so armed and posing a direct threat to you...
ILCS is CRYSTAL CLEAR ON THIS!
Motherfuck the bosses, Corporation Counsel and CCSAO who would rather see Policemen dead than vigorously defending themselves...
They might as well drop any and all pretense...
It's CHEAPER to bury a Copper and pay the inevitable pennies on the dollar to their families to "sit down and shut up" versus the pay-out to the litter-mates of Dead-Assed Dude justifiably sent on his eternal way at the hands of The Police.
It's prettier to bury a Copper too...
All the politicians get to fake cry and speechify while wiping false tears for bright TV lights about "How Brave" Policemen are and how everybody appreciates their "Sacrifice."
Fuck that...
Show The Policeman some gratitude while he's alive.
Not this sweet by and by, be good be quiet and don't fight us back or you won't get to Heaven, bullshit that's being peddled to Policemen by the Trotskyite criminal/political corporatists and their media henchmen.

Probably the bubbleheaded gambling drunk thief assigned him as such. Probably didn't want to contribute to his gambling fund
When they catch this oxygen thief they need to use a baseball bat on each of his hands and knees.
No sense hitting him in the head u wouldn't damage anything doing that.
Not trying to Monday morning quarterback here, but we should all take a minute and think about the type of situation this PO was in. Again, I wasn't there and I'm not trying to imply the PO did anything wrong.
One of the first things my FTO, a Vietnam veteran, told me was to not get injured for these idiots. We pulled up on a large crowd fighting and just sat and watched. I was new and at the time thought we were doing something wrong by just sitting in the car. I asked my FTO, "Shouldn't we get out and do something?" His reply was, "Like what? I don't know what they're fighting about, but I guarantee it's over bullshit. We'll call for a wagon, more cars will show up, and whoever still sticks around will go to jail. You get out of this car now and that whole crowd will turn on you. Don't get yourself hurt over their nonsense." Sure enough by the time the wagon pulled up, which didn't take long, the crowd had already begun to disperse.
Unless you have some kind of MMA blackbelt, you will not likely win in a two on one situation much less trying to take control of a crowd. The star on your chest and the gun on your hip do not make you Superman. Don't get yourself hurt over their stupid-ass ghetto baby mama drama. Wait until there is enough manpower for whatever job you're at, then attack the problem.
Stay safe, everyone.
1800 hours and no sign of our fearless leader the Supe. Officer down and he doesn't have the class to look in on him. Unless he came in disguised as pissbum, or doctor, or nurse, or CPS gunshot victim.
OT..
Illinois pension panel zeroes in on their final pension solution:
Tie COLA's to the rate of inflation, and sell it to the employees by letting them shave 1% off their monthly pension contributions.
http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/08/23/usa-illinois-pensions-idUSL2N0GO1XX20130823
What a way to con the stupid, give them back 1% today, and then watch as your pension check becomes more and more worthless as time goes by.
Inflation rates are pegged to go down, meaning on the average of 1.4 to 1.6% a year for a few years.
Yes, I know, all the things that you have no choice in paying for, such as food or utilities, are going up far faster than a pissant1.5%
Bottom line, the G uses the "cost of living" index to register inflation, and nothing that means your survival is really included in those numbers.
So watch as your food bill, your gas bill and your electric bill dig bigger holes into your pension checks.
We'll all be broke if we live 10 years into retirement.
And you can bet your ass the shitheel pols will exempt themselves from this one in a heartbeat. They already get the golden baby by getting multiple pensions anyways, who gives a fuck if they don't get a fair COLA, they're getting more in retirement than they were on the job.
I'm sorry...but if you're riding 10-99, I don't care what is going on outside of the squad...
Wait for Backup!
Going home alive is more important than getting in the way of a few morons in Englewood that have decided to fight on the street.

The only problem with that is that all officers are running job to job so it takes extra time to get to an assist.

We have been working one man cars since I came on in 1985. You don't have to if you don't want to. Write a to-from to your watch commander. Keep in mind sometimes we do this to let others get time due. We have a dangerous job and need to back each other up more. God bless this brother.
coppers new he was 99 and it still took that long for others to arrive. Where's the brotherhood
Get well soon brother
is everyone also aware of the canine unit who was shot at in the 5000 south block of winchester on 23 aug between 15:00 and 16:00 hrs. probably not. where do you think we who work the street rank in importance when it is stressed to protect every gang-banging, dope slinging, resource sucking dog even in death but the department couldn't find the space on its own homepage or spare the time spit out an all-call message warning us of those who have made attempts on police officers' life. but i can tell you where pookey's going to be planted and where the repast is.
No More Revenue
Another POS that will plea out and be back on the streets Detroit is knocking on our doorsteps. Ghetto is encroaching on the borders. Can't even live in the county anymore....never mind about the city.
God Bless the officer and his family. Hopefully a rep will be on the news tonight backing their officers and condemning (finally) the behavior that continues night after night.
Blue flu ... $40 copay to got to Dr and tell him u have been throwing up all night. Seems worth the money for a Dr note.
Where is our Union?
We have none
just FLOP Shiels useless FLOP
Takes our Dues $$$ and does BS
WTF does it take to get the pols Rham and the media to support the po po
this city is Done
Several things come to mind here: First and foremost is my support and prayers for the officer and his family. Second, the supervisor who allowed this young cop to work in that jungle by himself should be demoted, suspended (30 days pending separation for incompetence and negligence). The days of a Cop being just a number MUST be a thing of the past. In the military members are to comply with Orders given by superiors, but only if those Orders are LAWFUL. Sending a Cop out on third or first watch is just operationally and tactically ludicrous. Time to re-write contracts, including some of the ridiculous Rules and Regulations of the CPD, and draw red lines in the sand for Cops (Are you reading this FOP Lodge 7?). The families and wives of cops should unite and bring it to CPD HQ and City Hall for the world to see. Its time to stand your ground as Warriors in blue. Fuck the Compost and pink panther mentality of the East Coast, and to the FEDS: STOP looking to charge Cops for civil right violations in this God forsaken jungle that is the South and West sides of Chicago and get your asses out of your suits to come put your hands and life where your mouths aren't!
Well why the fuck would a watch commander or whatever the fuck they are called now have 99 cars in englewood. Hey Leo wake the fuck up and stop looking in the mirror this could have been much worse
Until the people in these neighborhoods take responsibility, control their own offspring and decide to support the police in getting rid of the thugs, it is foolish to send police officers to lead the cause...with no followers.
And we are going to live with those people? NOT!
So very sad. Best wishes to the officer and his family, And death, if my words get to God's ears, to the pos who did that.
Remember, your safety and coming home to your family come first. Your life is worth a lot more then being permanently disabled saving one of these ghetto rats. Let them kill each other and when its done, process the scene. Stay safe.
War on Cops!!
Rahm does NOTHING
So you Do Nothing
Just answer your calls
Stay Safe Go Home

ANON #2 - Don't be too hard on ANON #1, he just sounds frustrated as to seeing the cop bushwhacked and is just venting to blow the "bat man" to Kingdom Come. (which I concur 100%)
I agree with another writer that whoever sent this copper out alone, should be demoted.
This has got nothing to do with FOP, contract rules, "policy", or anything else - it's F'ing Common SENSE!
You don't send anyone out 99 in Englewood. Reading all this makes my blood boil. CPD is run by idiots.
Don't get down and be quick to criticize some of the supposed "armchair generals" that question what happened - they are probably as frustrated as you are when they see a cop bushwhacked and are just trying to help.
ALWAYS remember - many average citizens have you in mind and when they read this, they are shocked at the lack of leadership CPD has on making poor judgment calls.
Shoot the offender between the eyeballs IS the right policy and the "retraining" should be aimed at leadership that has failed to lead.
Not a LEO, JAFO
How about Rahm and McCarthy get dropped on opposite ends of Englewood after midnight and whoever finds the first snitch box gets picked up by a car? One would shit his pants before the second slipper hit the pavement, and the other would be tottering around trying to figure out what city he was in.
This is a quote I took from FB from someone who was actually there: "This was an awful thing that happened, and I know everyone is working hard to find the animals responsible. They WILL be brought to justice. You have gotten misinformation though, and I'm sure it came from the usual place/site. He was NOT ASSIGNED 99. His partner had a last minute emergency, and he asked to work alone. The watch commander told him to hang on and was going to find him someone else to work with and he said just to call him back in when they found someone. The officer went straight out on his own because he's a great worker and a hard charger. This was horrible, but you can't blame it on the union or the department this time. Sometimes bad things just happen and you can't blame anyone but the thugs who committed the crime". End Quote

Sometimes we just need to stay focused and on Topic!
This is about the same scenario as Rick Francis... His partner "took time", he went out alone enough said!
You know... May just be a conspiracy theory but what is the reason behind the leaders of Chiraq NOT doing anything about this? And any and all attacks on police? One could start to think the leaders might be behind it? Anywhere else and this shit would be handled immediately. There would be public outcry, protests, strikes, etc. I smell a huge scandal.
After the arrests of the anti-government gang that plotted to kill at least one officer, its not a surprise that the gangbangers and dope boys attacked too. They want everyone scared, running in circles and wondering what is going to happen next. Every thug in town also know all they have to do is keep moving and the cops will not get them. It is time for a change.
At 8/24/13 911am You are right about marching. We should be protesting at every event the mayor appears at. The teachers protested as well as everyone else. Your wrong about replacing police with civilians. Think about all the jobs we lost over the years (dispatchers, airport, office et al). Less police jobs mean less money paid into your pension.

Why do we even police Englewood?? seriously?
No one pays any taxes for police services and the people there are low life scum and hate the police.
Sit back and let them kill each other !!

What are you talking about? No one suggested less police, just the same number of police doing police work, not clerks working short hours and getting 80 to 90 thousand a year.

The watch commander told him to hang on and was going to find him someone else to work with and he said just to call him back in when they found someone. The officer went straight out on his own because he's a great worker and a hard charger. This was horrible, but you can't blame it on the union or the department this time. Sometimes bad things just happen and you can't blame anyone but the thugs who committed the crime". End Quote

So, the officer is running the watch. His watch commander isn't. (That is, if the post on that eminently reliable source of factual information, Facebook, is accurate.)
There's a reason we have parents; they guide us, teach us and look out for us when we don't know any better, or want to do it 'our' way.
And, there's a reason there's a chain of command (well, lots of reasons), and one of them is to ensure our well-being when we can't see the forest for the trees.
I just retired, but every time one of my people said 'no assist, squad - I'll let you know', I got on the air and told the dispatcher to send a second car, or I went myself.
I was on scene that night. The officer was working 99. He called in the disturbance and asked for more cars. Upon seeing flashing lights from back up vehicles down the street he gets out of his car. The offender hits the officer from behind with a baseball bat to the back of his head. The shitheads then try to take his wallet and gun but back up drives up and they take off. This whole thing happened so fast and it could've happened to any of us.
For all of the Monday morning quarterbacks out there, go fuck yourself. For those of you who asked, "Why didn't he shoot shithead?" You've obviously never worked in Englewood. The savages are out there at least 30 deep. You can't keep your eyes on all of them all of the time. For those of you who ask, "Where was his back up?" Englewood Rangers are known for backing each other up better than any other district in this city. Unless you were there you don't know shit.
You want to help then go look for the offender. There's an IA out there for him. Do some police work and figure out there rest.
I don't think Mc failure has visited him. but hey E-dumbass did call and asked if they needed anything.
next time sens karen b. and the policy group to a steeet fight in 007 oh thats right the policy group all had 2years on and were too good for the streets.
WND.com has covered this story: "Black Mob on Rampage Fractures Cop's Skull." We're praying for our officer...
i always thought there was a " gentleman's agreement that would be two man cars at night after the one cop was shot by a shotgun blast on the LSD way back in the 60's
i would think in neighborhoods like englewood you would have two together( still taking a risk down there)
hopefully he heals fast and this issue gets addressed

Ask their Bud the Crossing Guard Supervisor in 17
Let Them beat and shoot search other. Our job is to roll out the tape. The days that the ghetto thugs have any fear or respect for the police are long gone. I repeat, do not engage in their savagery.
Dear SCC, this is the wife of the officer that was attacked Friday night. I just want to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers. He is at home recovering.

It is good to hear he is home resting with his family nearby. You and your husband and family are in my prayers and thoughts. I'm sure there are so many CPD and citizens who might not have posted, but who feel very much in their hearts for him and for you, and who also wish him a fast recovery. God bless you all and keep you safe and well!
