Officer Defends Self, Wife

We' feel sorry that the Officer and his family had to put up with this crap for so long:
  • A police officer’s wife is in serious condition after she was shot by a shotgun-wielding elderly neighbor during a dispute that ended with the officer fatally shooting the man.

    The incident occurred about 2:15 p.m., when an off-duty Chicago Police officer was at home in the 8400 block of South Carpenter Avenue and he heard a verbal argument between his wife and a female neighbor, according to a statement from police News Affairs. The officer went outside and saw the female neighbor throwing rocks and dirt at his wife and striking her with a broom. A male in the neighbors’ backyard then retrieved a shotgun and fired shots at the officer’s wife, striking her in the arm and head, the statement said.

    Police said off-duty officer then fired shots at the male. The female neighbor then tried to pick up the shotgun, despite instructions by the officer. The officer then fired shots and struck the female, the statement said.
We certainly hope the agitator is facing charges:
  • The neighbor called for her husband, also in his 80s, to “get that thing” and come into the yard, Camden said. The elderly man came out with a shotgun and fired at the officer’s wife, striking her in the upper chest and arm area, according to Camden.
So she tells her husband to get a shotgun, getting him killed, then she's going to get the shotgun, managing to catch a bullet of her own. Definitely sounds like Murder to us.

Speedy recovery to the Officer and his spouse.

Of course, they showed the dead offender's daughter crying, saying that a POLICE OFFICER killed her poor, retired, daddy.

* Everybody gets old. Well, a lot of people, anyway

* This case was a vary rare exception, rare enough that it really doesn't even test the rule; many old people are just trying to get through the day, counting heart pills to see if they'll make it to the end of the month and re-using teabags. A lot more of them die alone in their houses and no one finds them for four or five years sometimes.

Whatever this was, it had apparently been going on for ten years or more - arguments, take it to court, etc.

Pass along a little love for your fellow man, my bro, try to have a good heart and it will come back to you. Of course, with increasing numbers of untreated mentally ill running around, you get people who will obsess for years on you because you once dropped something and they heard it. No hope there, they are stuck in their own hate and problems. Some folks sit inside with the shades drawn all day and night, steaming, stewing, waiting for trouble...

Spring! Trees bustin out green, forsythias going, crocuses, flowering pears...enjoy it, we sure deserve it.

May the officer’s wife have a speedy and full recovery. We expect behavior leading up to gunfire from the young boys not from an elderly man. You just never know. Sometimes things just jump off and get ugly with little or no advance warning.

Danger presents itself in so many different ways. Don’t let yourself become complacent.
Stay alert and scan your surrounding assessing potential risks. The public and most officers will identify the elderly as a minimal risk but a series of events almost cost the off duty officer and his wife their lives. You don’t know the outcome of seemingly routine calls and in this case, off duty at the officer’s residence. Everyday threats include aggressive dogs (2 legged & 4 legged varieties), dilapidated structures, mentals, traffic stops, citizen encounters, poor search/no search, impaired motorists, domestics, human bites, transmission of pathogens, arrestees plotting escapes, being disarmed etc. for officers in the field. Everyone and everything can pose life threatening or life altering risks, so be careful out there. The Monday morning quarterbacks and litigious lawyers have all the answers to this tragedy. But when cold blood of fear runs through your veins and your life is on the line, you have only seconds to react. Its sad there is a loss of life and other serious injuries in a what amounts to what would be a routine disturbance call, but who set up the chain of events leading to this awful outcome?

Not to be outdone, for the administrative staffs with your weekends off, your risks include paper cut infections, staple pricks, tripping over cords, static electricity shocks, calluses on the buttocks and hazardous hot coffee spills. Be sure to sanitize your personal telephone, your personal keyboard and vacuum your cubicle to prevent all those little yucky nasties. It’s a personal jungle at your desk with all that paperwork, round nose scissors, pointy paperclips, crayons and tangled cords. So be careful at your workstation and stay alert and remain vigilant for clutter and dust bunnies.

If they don't then I won't make it. I feel for you.

O.T. Big Controversy In 025

On 24-APR-14 on 3rd watch there was a huge controversy. 2599 Lt. P.C. stopped a car and asked for backup. No one came. The dispatcher then called out a car and they said they were going on lunch. The dispatcher called out two more cars and they too said they were going on lunch. No one showed up to back up Lt. P.C. He is a good guy and a good man. He doesn't fuck with people and makes life easy. Also to add insult to injury someone was playing on the radio hurling insults. Some of these jokers have no class. They write on bathroom walls, talk shit on Facebook, constantly gossip, cause controversies on purpose, play on the radio, say unprofessional things over the radio, etc. In essence these people never left high school.

For the love of God, when will some of you change your behavior? When will some of you change your ways? I won't call out names but there are about eight to twelve dick heads and the rest of the watch is full of decent respectful officers. Stop making the entire watch suffer for your stupidity.

Your story brought me down young officer. With you a season vet with 4 yoj try this when you resign,
"Johnson and Jones", a leader in Pest control are hiring guys like you that know how to aim and eradicate. The SWAT position is in their "Raid" division, and you can wear a raid Jacket.
The company just got a contract for RAID people to go into full battle gear to combat the roaches and bed bugs that took over the old Area 4 building.
It is like an HBT incident if you are up to it.
You might have to swim the basement to bet them out.
Travel is a requiewment, have a "go bag" ready to hit Detroit, New Jersey, etc.
Make you kin proud. Before you know it, tou would be a SWAR/Raid cmdr.

The neighbor got what he deserved. He had to know he lived next door to a PO. He had to know what would happen when he pulled a gun (shotgun no less) on a person trained to stop that action.

Well done officer.

Sure, go on Naperville PD if you want to be on a Department where the sergeants arrest each other for DUI (true story) and where your sergeant will take an anonymous complaint from a citizen that you made a turn in your marked police car without using your turn signals and you take a written reprimand for it. You want that? Go right ahead.

You could always go buy your swat gear and uniform, which you would have to do anyway, grab your rifle, (you probably didn't have enough time on to get in a carbine class), and sit in your house and wait for something to jump off, it's the same thing swat does, nothing but go through man training. Your not going to be effective for any situation, the beat car or first responding officers are going to be the ones to handle a shooting. So stay in patrol and get some experience in, you don't have any.

Big Controversy In 025

On 24-APR-14 on 3rd watch there was a huge controversy. 2599 Lt. P.C. stopped a car and asked for backup. No one came. The dispatcher then called out a car and they said they were going on lunch. The dispatcher called out two more cars and they too said they were going on lunch. No one showed up to back up Lt. P.C. He is a good guy and a good man. He doesn't fuck with people and makes life easy. Also to add insult to injury someone was playing on the radio hurling insults. Some of these jokers have no class. They write on bathroom walls, talk shit on Facebook, constantly gossip, cause controversies on purpose, play on the radio, say unprofessional things over the radio, etc. In essence these people never left high school. 

For the love of God, when will some of you change your behavior? When will some of you change your ways? I won't call out names but there are about eight to twelve dick heads and the rest of the watch is full of decent respectful officers. Stop making the entire watch suffer for your stupidity.

 3rd watch in 025 has always had goofs on its watch. There was an idiot years ago who flipped his car in 016 after a watch party. Thanks to the 025 midnight lt at the time he just received tickets. The moron still was pissed. That's the mentality on 3rd watch.

08:42am, bang on the head.

Be nice if you can to old people, and if they're nasty back, be mild, be blasé, ignore them or wish them good day.

Have none of you had to be caregiver to an elder? They lose their wits, yep, the old lady shouldn't have called her husband to bring that thing out, he shouldn't have pointed it at the police family, but who knows WHAT the voices in his head were telling him these people were and what to do?

Paper said both sides had been doing shit like dumping snow on the other person' car/driveway.
Juvenile on both ends if true, more understandable of the old people who might have needed more looking after by their neighbors if they didn't have family to do it. Why would a cop and his wife let themselves get sucked into TRITE tit-for-tat nonsense?

Years ago I got five days off for CUBaO for leaving my nosy old neighbor a note on his car telling him he was helping somebody who hated the police. The Board at length made me whole for all 5 days and said I showed "admirable restraint" (THEIR phrase) for leaving a note instead of getting in his face or worse.

More people are living longer and longer, you are going to keep coming up against crazies, get used to it and get over yourselves, and when you figure out how to diffuse volatile situations before they get to this kind of miserable conclusion be sure to let everyone know.

If this post is true and SWAT is disbanded or training time cut the city will pay dearly for it. Then again this is a ghetto police department that has no clue on how to catch bad guys let alone respond to terrorist. Just like everything else there is no equipment, no take home cars, no training. You have a chain of command that suck and don't know what their doing. City does not care about SWAT or bad guys.

You hit the jackpot kid. Give your employer two weeks notice ASAP. Plan on starting Late May, .......2025. Your on the bubble, move to the city and buy a city sticker. That alone will get you hired maybe a week sooner.
Get a few red light camera tickets to show you are in for produsing $$$ for the city.
Buy your recruit uniform NOW. ID case for your star and ID would be a fine idea. Learning to swim so they know you are ready for SWAT while in training.
Buy a a compact Imperial arms handgun just in case they make you a detectives after 10 weeks.
Buy high line suits, at least 7 when you are working murders.
Plan on doing some uder cover work working a serial killer case. The city got about 100 walking the streets.
MAYBE buying a M-16 assault rifle might be good too, You can practice at CPD' 24/7 ranges and they allow 1000 rounds provided to you.
So get going, time goes by fast and have all your stuff ready.
Join the FOP this Monday and put those 4 stickers they give you on all your vehicle windows.
Stop in the 010 th. District and tell them that you want to ride along on Midnights and they can use you pers vehicle on patrol.
It would be great if your install high tec strobs on your vehicle.
Remember to buy the whole watch lunch on the nights you ride along, that will help you move up fast.
Last thing kid, buy a top of the line taser. Do a few contact cards and maybe they will let you ride with their Tac people, Talk to the commander if they say no yet. It wikk show tou are assertive.
O... buy a new lap top so the IT people at the district can program it to work as a PDT.

If you are mistreared, just go to headquarters and ask and demand to see Gerry. Tell them you sat with him at a prayer breakfast on Rush Street for hours at a time,

O.T. Big Controversy In 025

On 24-APR-14 on 3rd watch there was a huge controversy. 2599 Lt. P.C. stopped a car and asked for backup. No one came. The dispatcher then called out a car and they said they were going on lunch. The dispatcher called out two more cars and they too said they were going on lunch. No one showed up to back up Lt. P.C. He is a good guy and a good man. He doesn't fuck with people and makes life easy. Also to add insult to injury someone was playing on the radio hurling insults. Some of these jokers have no class. They write on bathroom walls, talk shit on Facebook, constantly gossip, cause controversies on purpose, play on the radio, say unprofessional things over the radio, etc. In essence these people never left high school.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The above made me want to puke. When a copper calls for back up, you drop everything and get there within a minute. I do not care if the copper is a prick or a prince.
Shame on all that decided to pull off , going to fucking lunch shit.

After being retire after 34 years, this is UNREAL.

I was a dick' and if a copper called and I was 20 miles away, I hit the gas. Sgt' like Northside are all gone and afraid of the boys in blue,

If Northside was still on the job and you pulled this shit off, you would of gotten your asses kicked !!

If this is the caliber of today' new breed cupper', we are fucked to no end.

I am livid hearing this.

He was calling for a paper car. Offender was already in custody with a tact car on scene. None emergency. Lowest priority!!!

Some of these bosses gotta learn to wait like their turn like everyone else.

Lunch is more important than a paper job. I son't care who is asking for the car. they gotta wait.

Lt. PC was a good boss and a good man. According to those that work in 025. Yet no one would go and help him when he needed help. Someone even said he would gave to wait just like everyone else. Lunch is more important. That's fine. But now when Lt. PC turns into a jagoff , don't blame him-look in the mirror. Because each and every one if you that chose to treat him like a piece of shit because "lunch is more important than a paper job" are responsible for the change in Lt. PC.

No.. That is not being a coward that is sound advice. Why piss anyone off you don't have to and have to always watch you back.

As John Steinbeck said, and repeated by John Wayne, "Never pick a fight with an old man, if he is too old to fight he will just kill you."

If an out of their mind old (fill in the blank) is really a hazard or a nuisance, then report them to the city, county and state Departments of Senior Citizens. It may take several calls over months and some documentation, but sooner or later some con-man or phony reverend vulcher who sniff around for these people will pick up the case. They will come over, be their new best friend and savior, have them declared incompetent to handle their own affairs, move them out of their house into a cheap nursing home, seize their assets, and they will live their short miserable lives doped up on chemical straight jackets.

Don't Call anyone a coward you don't know; as they also say, "Old age and treachery will overcome youth and skill."

About two weeks after you pass the last power test and have completed the background check, medical and psych tests, polygraph test, interview and the initial power test.
You haven't even started the processing and you want to know you will be hired.
And don't listen to anyone about the time frame for hiring. You have a decent number but even Rahm and McCarthy have no idea at this time of how many will be hired or when.

If this post is true and SWAT is disbanded or training time cut the city will pay dearly for it. Then again this is a ghetto police department that has no clue on how to catch bad guys let alone respond to terrorist. Just like everything else there is no equipment, no take home cars, no training. You have a chain of command that suck and don't know what their doing. City does not care about SWAT or bad guys. These bosses care about keeping there gold star pensions.

Yea, the last dozen times or so when SWAT responded to terrorists they did a great job. Oh wait, maybe that was a TV show I was watching. Haven't seen too many, if any responses by SWAT to any terrorists in Chicago.

SCC I'm pissed. Just found out that SWAT is being disbanded and being sent back to the district. If they have an HBT job they will respond from a district. The SWAT test is being cancelled. Patrol can't afford to have all those guys in a SWAT school. That's such bullshit!!!!!! I have been training and shooting for the last year getting ready. I had to learn how to swim for this test. I spent a lot of money to get ready. I hate this fucking police department. I'm seriously thinking about leaving and going to another Police Department. I have four years on. Any suggestions? I just want to be on a good SWAT team.

4/26/2014 03:37:00 AM

Wow, 4yrs on and already so salty! You remind me of a kid in high school who bought his school jacket and put the baseball team patch on it prior to making the team. He was so sure he was going to make it....he didn't and started talking shit about how fucked up it was and how he shoulda went to another HS. Sound familiar? Stop bitchin, and do me a favor stop saying you wanna leave this department and just leave! I'm tired of hearing people bitch and moan about how much this department sucks...leave...that easy right? Leave then and see how easy it is anywhere else. Cry me a river.

Who are you to judge where another person lives you elitist prick! Im have lived in the city my entire life and learned how to be street smart, fight, run, and most importantly how to separate crime from bullshit by talking to people and relating to them. Too many police grew up outside of the city and have no idea what it means to be from Chicago, if you did not grow up here I cant explain it. People have roots in their neighborhoods and maybe want their kids and families to remain grounded and not become elitist pricks that can't relate to people. The statement alone about moving out because you make more money now shows ignorance. The people who do what you suggest eventually have people who join the dept to be like mommy or daddy who worked their ass off and then they become clouted prick bosses. Sorry that my rant may hit too close to the belt for some of you. Don't judge a person because they may love their neighborhood or have pride in it. Pride is one of the few things you can still carry in this city, but you have to understand that our mayor's idea of pride and ours is not the same thing. He is a wannabe Chicagoan and it hurts him inside that he is not. Grow up.

Hey youngster, leave while you can. Didn't you see how long it took SWAT to get to the barricaded subject on Lake Shore Drive? The response was slow as shit because of no take home cars for SWAT. Things are gonna get worse for the SWAT team. They have the shittiest equipment and the city doesn't give a fuck. No extra pay, no equipment, little training and no take home cars. Why would you want to spend your own money to go to training and put thousands of miles on your own car? Don't give that city nothing. Be smart. Your gonna lose money and time away from your family for a shitty unit.

Thanks.

Vast majority are utterly harmless, often kind-hearted to a fault, treasures we can learn from. They need our protection.

Don't know how many times I grabbed the wrist and took away that paring knife being jabbed towards me. Or, they're in the kitchen all upset, chopping at a big soup can with an old-fashioned can opener, one of those with the sharp prong. Can has eighteen holes and rips in it by now, all jagged edges. Soup on the ceiling. Make careful approach, grab wrist again, "Let me have that before you cut an artery or something, OK?" Clean them up, give them a hug and talk to them, reassure them, clean mess up, then make them lunch.

Of course, when a gun comes into play from across the fence...that is what you call a "game changer."

Ofc. did what he had to do to save lives in a dire situation gone out of control. A shame that it could not have been headed off a long time ago, but some people are impervious, will never let anything just drop so that the day could move along.

Had middle-aged neighbors like this, complete meatheads who went through life heads down and fists up. Mow the parkway one inch over the line, all hell broke loose.

So I never shoveled their walk for them again...I guess they won that one! (grin)

You hit the jackpot kid. Give your employer two weeks notice ASAP. Plan on starting Late May, .......2025. Your on the bubble, move to the city and buy a city sticker. That alone will get you hired maybe a week sooner.
Get a few red light camera tickets to show you are in for produsing $$$ for the city.
Buy your recruit uniform NOW. ID case for your star and ID would be a fine idea. Learning to swim so they know you are ready for SWAT while in training.
Buy a a compact Imperial arms handgun just in case they make you a detectives after 10 weeks.
Buy high line suits, at least 7 when you are working murders.
Plan on doing some uder cover work working a serial killer case. The city got about 100 walking the streets.
MAYBE buying a M-16 assault rifle might be good too, You can practice at CPD' 24/7 ranges and they allow 1000 rounds provided to you.
So get going, time goes by fast and have all your stuff ready.
Join the FOP this Monday and put those 4 stickers they give you on all your vehicle windows.
Stop in the 010 th. District and tell them that you want to ride along on Midnights and they can use you pers vehicle on patrol.
It would be great if your install high tec strobs on your vehicle.
Remember to buy the whole watch lunch on the nights you ride along, that will help you move up fast.
Last thing kid, buy a top of the line taser. Do a few contact cards and maybe they will let you ride with their Tac people, Talk to the commander if they say no yet. It wikk show tou are assertive.
O... buy a new lap top so the IT people at the district can program it to work as a PDT.

If you are mistreared, just go to headquarters and ask and demand to see Gerry. Tell them you sat with him at a prayer breakfast on Rush Street for hours at a time,

To the person that said SWAT is being disbanded. BULLSHIT, I don'tknow where and who told you this, but it is FALSE. another disgruntled copper who can't make SWAT !!!! Chicago will always have SWAT. Responding from or in the district will not work.


Not bulllshit!!!! It's true. My nephew is on SWAT. I work at 35th street and saw the new deployment strategy for Patrol. All HBT officers will be placed in the districts 003, 004, 005, 006, 007,011 and 015. They will be back in uniform and will be required to have their HBT gear with. If an HBT incident is called they will notify DSS and will respond. They will be placed on all three watches. If they need more guys they will receive a call and can respond from their homes. No more take home cars. VRI will need them. It's true. This is what the Marine and Mounted unit do during the winter. SWAT will be doing the same thing but just for Fall/Spring/Summer. If you decide to leave HBT, you can bid to a district. If you decide to stay on SWAT, you lose any right to bid unless you leave. In the winter they will be allowed to go back to Homan so they can train. The Bosses are sacrificing anybody and anything to come up with ways to put more blue shirts on the street. Sorry it's true.

Well, if you scored anywhere in the ninety percentile and you are now ranked amongst the mouth breathers at 1900 courtesy of the lottery-read affirmative action-you need to carefully read the US Supreme Courts recent ruling on affirmative action as it pertains to minority acceptance (rejection if you're white) into the University of Michigan. The theory can be easily adapted to hiring practices of the City of Chicago. You will unlikely be hired at 1900. If you actually scored high and have been screwed because you're white start talking to lawyers.

>>You don't want to work in Naperville. They are extremely chicken shit and hard on their officers.

They are also very insular. When the rest of suburbia can informally converse on IWIN, Naperville has a closed network. Nobody gets an opportunity to know these people.

They send me a ticket in the mail for an off-leash dog.

The Sgt-on-Sgt DUI fiasco is very real.

Everyone seems to have a story about them. Not to shit on college degrees, but this is an unintended consequence of requiring them as a minimum.

You get a lot of crazy-eyed female officers too. You know the kind where you can see the whites of their eyes above their iris.

Don't listen to this guy. The last few tests, the CPD reached down to at least 7500 on the list. U of Michigan ruling has nothing to do with the CPD. Ours is pass fail, then a lottery. After all the testing, the guys under 21 that took the test, all the department has to do is hire 1000 pos over the next few years and you will be hired. Agood guess is that half of the 1900 will not qualify to be hired.

AMEN!

It is always easier to run than to take on the challenge to better your "barrio". Really? Using the term barrio just shows how much you think you're better than someone who chooses to live in the only neighborhood they've ever known.

We choose to stay in our barrio. Why would I run to the corners of the city? So we can discuss your child's $16, 000.00 a year high school education or their $100, 000 college education. So we can compete with 100 self-centered, fake, smile in your face -talk behind your back people, meet at mass every Sunday but run crazy with gossip every other day. Yes, my kid goes to one of the top five CPS high schools and my other one goes to a magnet cluster and yes, I understand you have spent
$100, 000 on your kids education -working 3 side gigs - just for your child to be working alongside my child in CPD in 10 years... making the same amount of $ & in the same position.

Yes, I grew up in the barrio and still live in the barrio and was educated in the barrio - in the CPS school system ( not to mention my four year fully paid scholarship to any university!) Now tell me again... where do you work? What do you earn?

Oh that's right...
We both work for CPD and make the same amount of money!

and don't get me started on the far corners of the city kids or suburban kids who become the police and can't for the life of them, relate to us people in the "barrio".

Btw, I think the term BARRIO went out of style with the movie Colors!

I see 025 is still the same ole 025 of yore. In my over two decades OTJ, it's always been known as a district full of Loonies. The above mentioned incident is beyond repulsive. But not all surprising at Grand & Central.
