Off Duty Shot at Side Job
- A man accused of grabbing an off-duty Chicago Police officer’s service weapon and shooting her in the leg was ordered held without bail on Sunday.
Raphael Jordan, 48, was charged with attempted murder of a police officer in the July 23 shooting in the 2200 block of East 69th Street in the South Shore neighborhood. Judge Adam D. Bourgeois Jr. ordered Jordan to be held without bail.
The officer, a 37-year-old woman who was wearing her Chicago Police badge on her belt, was working as a security guard for a construction company when she saw Jordan walking away from the construction site with a hammer drill owned by the company, Assistant State’s Attorney Barry Quinn said in court Sunday
Best wishes to the Officer for a speedy recovery.

Thank you, Judge Bourgeois. One of the few judges I've learned to appreciate and trust.
I saw the offender's picture when I read this. He looks like a total jagbag. Well wishes to the injured p.o.

I didn't know how to message you, but I am curious what you think of this article. (Mobile site is a little weird)
I find your blog humorous since my dad was a cop for many years with Chicago. I'm thinking of taking the test, etc., but looking at the different view points, pros/cons to see if it's worth it. CPD will not be on the list since I moved away a while back.
Thank you for your time; I look forward to your (and probably others) response.
Get well soon officer. Seriously though, why did you get on the side of the van in the first place? This could could have ended real bad but thank God it did not.
More to this than meets the eye.
"A man accused of grabbing an off-duty Chicago Police officer’s service weapon and shooting her in the leg was ordered held without bail on Sunday."
Another UNARMED black man shot by police.
Yes, unarmed. Wasn't his gun. Po-lice fault. City turn huge check to my pastor.
There.

Dear Officer,
Our Redistribution Specialists are not instructed to cause bodily injury in the course of their duties. I apologize for this breach of protocol.
-Barack Obama
Get well soon. Any job out there is dangerous.
Who is this new LT on days in 18 that is trying to run POs out of the district? 18 days might be the worst place to work now.
Feel better!
Give notice to the XO for the watch you're working, and sign out a radio from the station. That's always been a fast area, and has rarely been police friendly!
Prayers for the officer, even part time jobs be careful, total lack of respect for police especially from the black community, another reason cvs isn't rebuilding in Baltimore, hard enough for a business to survive in that environment!
Thank God the officer is okay.
Here's a question... Just curious, but why did RBT detectives handle the job of the off duty shot and not the HGS people. The Area Central Detective Division truly has gone down hill over the last five years. When a Det. Div. Sgt doesn't know which side to give a officer shit to should be back in patrol.
Forget that "off duty" work people, YOU are NOT covered by the department.

Maybe our Superintendent can talk about Headquarters security this week at compstat. Literally there is on guy sitting in the middle of two entrances, that have people walking in and out all day!!! He was on the phone today and two people walked right up to him while he was on the phone with his back to them . One walked threw the metal detector , which went off and just kept walking !! I recognized him as a po from GEU but how many just walk threw ?! Then u walk to the back of HQ and it's like a hang out for IR'#s!! Man something bad is going to happen , sadly it takes that before anything changes .

The sergeants have not been the problem (maybe now) but the issue has been someone between then and the commander.... Thinks he knows all, but screwing shit up
The new Lt in 018 is Paula Schmeer and she was dumped out of R&D. She is making life miserable on the p.o.'s with her micro-management styles and the fact that everything has to be done according to general orders because that is all she has ever known being a house mouse for the majority of her career. Not only does she have the dogs on the watch seeking other watches and districts to go to but the workers are also seeking greener pastures. If she wasn't bad enough, 018 days also got Sgt. Schmidt from midnights. He is the male version of the Lt. except that he is on the street and following you around all day and putting his 2 cents in on the jobs that you are handling. Most of the time giving bad advice and fucking up the job your doing. Midnights in 018 termed it being "Schmidt" on! You combine these two fools along with the 5th watch(foot teams)bullshit and you are left with a miserable and degraded 2nd watch in 018. And its getting worse by the day. Enjoy your retirement Lt. Schmit, your not missing anything here.
hey ssc please post off topic if you are a white male or white female who served on active duty after 9/11 and have used the va healthcare system even for non military related illness or dicesases the va is targeting you telling you that you now must pay a co-payment, im have been in touch veterans from across the country , stating this has also happened to them and that THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION IS NOW TARGETING WHITE CACASIAN MILITARY vets DEMANDING COPAYMENTS FOR MEDICAL SERVICES THAT THEY HAVE USED, do not pay them the benefits are free and there is no co-payment
another racist executive order by our commander in chief
H/G/S did handle this case. You obviously don't know what you are talking about. Now go get a parker for your Sergeant
I agree 9:36am. How about all the sex offenders who hang out right outside the back entrance, smoking and hanging out?!? I once saw a guy walk inside unplug his phone which was charging on a plug inside by the star cases, then, go back outside and wait in line. Why is that tolerated?
1st,I hope the officer is doing well.
The Tribune article relating this shooting was written by a reporter by the name of Sarah Freishtat. I sent her an email at sfreisht@tribpub.com and congratulated her for truth in reporting.
She never used the word "alleged" once in her article. She used the word "CHARGED" in the murder. She quoted the judge verbatim:"You pose a threat and danger to everyone". She spelled out only the police side of the incident as told by a Cook County States Attny. She also dutifully reported that the charged man denied he did it through his public defender.
It was an honest, good old fashioned, non-opinionated, reporting of the then known facts of the case.
Never once used the word "alleged"; A word that through overusage has become a modern laugh line.
A retired CPD here who gave her, her due.
Wish there were more honest reporters out there.
The guy commenting on 35th security is %100 correct! Wow! Anyone can walk right through. No one is paying attention. Hell, go through the rear door and they assume your OK. Security guys on phone or surfing the net. God help the cops working there. The only difference between 35th and the districts is there aren't any homeless sleeping in the loby.
sounds like the gentel giant
Should've wound up in the foundation.
OT....inspectors everywhere making sure in-car cameras are working. But one question,.,,.,.why don't inspectors, who are in the field, required to wear a vest?
Curious to know, did the construction company have insurance for the shot officer? Was she an employee of the construction company or an independent contractor?

If its that bad...in that retirement district...keep one thought in mind....
Parking Enforcement is looking for Booters.
The judge has always been a good man. Does not play with hard core mutts. Most of the hard hitting judges are since retired.
The poor coper shot was trying to make a buck off duty and gets shot. Get well soon young lady, your kind make the CPD great.
God keep all you fine street coppers who serve our city like angels flying above.
Still proud of being a retired CPD copper.
The judge is a good man. Many people don't know that he is a former PO who worked in VCD while in law school.
Thanks judge!

None other than Paula Schmeer. She was despised in R&D and when the new Director came she was promptly dumped. Prior to R&D she was in 006 where she would cry in staff meetings.
Here's a question... Just curious, but why did RBT detectives handle the job of the off duty shot and not the HGS people. The Area Central Detective Division truly has gone down hill over the last five years......
The channel 7 news media stated that ODPO was shot with her own gun and showed her being placed into ambulance....no further details were reported
Saw on the news about community alert of strong armed robberies in lake view. They tell about everything from whereabouts, to times, and a group of men. But don't tell of race. Should I assume it's a mixture of races? Hmmmm.... I'm willing to bet it's all one race.
Those walking IR # 's are the sex offender mutts. Not enough room for them in that teeny room they built for them with 6 benches. No one in uniform, ie building security, available to corral them and keep them from hanging around the police statue. The sex offender registration needs to be moved out of HQ.
Just read Preib's blog on Commander Evans- and it's pretty good.
I think Evans will be okay if he can clear the political hurdle.
Here's the link for the "real police".

Area Central is run by Ass Clowns!
If she was taking 'police action', she should be covered by the city.
The recently retired Lt from 018 was a great boss because he didn't do ANY supervising. Came to work, watched a little tv, went out to eat and left early. Not a bad job if you an get it. Any boss that actually does any supervising after a guy like him is going to have a bad time.
We had paula schmeer in 024. Sounds like nothing changed.
let the Pap Schmeer jokes begin!!!
018th district crybabies I bet your Not a single one of you leaves the 2nd watch much less leaves the district Lt shumuck was a useless white shirt and was the last one you would want when you really wanted a supervisors help. All you whiners think a supervisor is great until he has to be a supervisor. Face it , for the rest of your pathetic career you will be crying because you miss the corrupt "Wouldn't Couldn't do the job lieutenant. He is gone, now you have to follow the rules like everyone else. Waaaaaah I'm the working police, I'm going to leave waaaaaaah. You aren't going anywhere! Get your pacifier and quit crying !

Yes, getting to work on time and handling your jobs would make it SEEM like the worst place to work, but it's not. Busy? Yes. Understaffed? Aren't we all? How's this, you've been spoiled. Do your job and the rest of us, that have been showing up on time and handling our jobs AND yours, will say it's a better place to work.
2:02 PM,
People in 018 should be used to micro management after working for the old Athenian commander who used to wear floods.

Never did; Never will work a part timer. You're a lawsuit just waiting to happen when doing so .
My best friend's dog's play uncle says daze in 018 is so short-handed a notice came out in the CO book for "retirement relief." No more coffee car and the third wagon is downed. The horror.

Do you think any other major police department in any city over a million in population has sex-offender registration inside their own headquarters?
Saving money, you know. First Police HQ merged with Fire Dept. HQ and it became Public Safety. Now who best to bolster Public Safety than every sex-offender in the City of Chicago? Sure, put them right inside our Police HQ. Typical brilliant Chicago decision.
Let's talk about your new LT in 018. She is one of the most knowledgable, old school Bosses I have meet. I had the opportunity to work with her at 35th street, and on our wonderful details. She's doing her job! Start acting like the police, and not a big BABY!!!! �� be the police people!
The new Lt. on the 2nd watch in 018 is a "breath of fair fresh air". There is nothing wrong with following the rules as long as everyone one has to follow them. She has her work cut out for her I'm afraid in that under the last two previous Lts., a system of selective enforcement and privileges existed to a point that was criminal, no punt intended. Keep up the good job Mamn and keep your head up when you walk by those who have been coddled for too long.
