Way to go Media
- A man was charged Wednesday after leading police on a high-speed chase through the streets of Chicago Tuesday.
Desmond Henry, 25, of the 100 block of North Laporte Avenue in Chicago, was charged with one felony count of aggravated fleeing police at a rate of more than 21 mph, aggravated assault on a police officer and four counts of felony unlawful use of a weapon by a felon. His bond was set at $500,000.
He also faces charges for possession of a controlled substance and manufacture or delivery of cannabis along with numerous traffic citations.
So all the charges resulted from the pursuit. The media then proceeds to blow the investigation:
- At 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, Henry was observed in a rental car with a suspect wanted for double murder, prosecutors said. They then switched rental cars to a black Cherokee in the middle of the day under the same rental agreement.
Henry was arrested after officers attempted to make an "investigatory stop on his vehicle" around 5:15 p.m. Tuesday near Polk St. and California Avenue, police said. He then led police on a miles-long chase to the 200 block of North Central Avenue, where he jumped out of the car while it was still in "drive" and ran to a friend's apartment, prosecutors said. A girl and a 2-year-old child were inside that apartment.
So whoever this guy was riding with earlier now knows he was under some pretty extensive surveillance regarding a double homicide, and if he isn't in the wind, he might be now. But hey, it made great copy for the helicopter.

The media is what it is, and not always helpful. They have their own agenda.
Wasn't the murder suspect also in the car during the pursuit?
I understand the frustration but it's cute that you assume Mr. Henry or his accomplice can read.
No way ... the helicopter did something other than having to refuel?
The media then proceeds to blow the investigation..........gotta disagree here.
Who gave the info to the media or were they running their own investigation? I think not. Somebody made a call
Pretty hard to give a receipt when they flee in a car, or run. Can we attach the receipt to an arrow and shoot it at the folks that flee? That way, coppers comply with the stupid law, "customers" get a receipt, and they get an extra hole in their body...which seems to be what they prefer if you look at how many shootings we have. Everyone wins!
Yeah but how did the newsmedia know he was a suspect in a double homicide? Some cpopper told them that's how. So while I hate the newsmedia, it was some copper that is equally responsible
Don't you mean "whoever blabbed to the media" blew the investigation? I guarantee NBC didn't do any investigative journalism to dig up that info, they're just parroting what they're told.
So who gave the info?
Media affairs again! If any detective believes that those goof at media affairs know anything about investigation then shame on them.
Ask media affairs to send you an email requesting info on an on going investigation.
Media affairs will then try and back door you by crying to a moron white shirt that City hall wants the info. The white shirt will hover over you asking for offender names etc etc. Put all these goofs on paper they will blow your investigation!
Nobody said you have to be smart or have any intelligence to be a reporter !
cars hit in accidents!terminate!time of chase children ,citizens and car traffic...terminate! u had the rental car plate info...terminate! GOOD JOB,NOW HERE COMES YOUR SPAR OR C/R # FOR YOUR EFFORTS! so sad,but true!!
I'll bet the inspectors are looking at all those cops without hats. Lots of folks to write up for their quota...
Duh, the media has scanners. They can hear whatever you say on the air too....
Did the helicopter keep interrupting the chase to ask for the event number?
What chase?
05:35am. Or the other day on Zone 10, the helicopter calling in 5 cars blocking the alley. Really? Who do you think you are? "Flying Officer Jim Kavanugh of the Chicago Police Department" from the Ray Rayner Show?
Who gave the info to the media or were they running their own investigation? I think not. Somebody made a call
U can't be that stupid right?? The helicopter has scanners that try listen to!
Info might have been riecieved from Scanners
The info was given out over the air by the zone and was pick-up over the scanner
When stuck on the desk, I used to love receiving phone calls from the media. What???...you don't know about the triple homicide at .........? or the train derailment at .......? Got another call coming in....gotta go!
Jeez are you all stupid? The reporters were in bond court AHHHHHHHHHHHH never mind
All right - let's call a spade a spade SCC. Most tv stations used to hire off duty cops who had a motorcycle as "couriers" before mini cam units were possible - the courier would get video tape and run it back to the news desk with an illegal siren & red lights flashing (yeah i am a retired old fart)
Now they hire off duty PO's as security. Just look outside ABC studios exit on Lake St. Security provided by CPD who is audacious enough to put his FBI/Violent Crimes Task Force visor card on the dash. Some of our own will whore themselves out to the media for a secondary job. That's right - WHORE THEMSELVES OUT. So when the mouthy cop who never backs you up pops up at a crime scene wanting to know all the particulars (for the reporter) perhaps you should ask him if it is his curiosity or his part time prostitute job. Any PO who would work part time for the media is a media whore.
Hey guy on bike - why does this whore get a pass on parking with his FBI Violent crimes task force placard?? Lake St is supposed to be for MARKED CARS ONLY. Not a PO's private car while he's stroking Chuck Gowdy trying to get on the I-Team!
The chase went on for at least 15-20 minutes and the helicopter still couldn't get there in time. Waste of resources
I wouldn't blame the media for this one.... I would blame a certain big mouth Sgt from gang investigations who was "impressing" the reporter with the inside information about this incident... He also made sure him and his guys got a lot of face time when the cameras got around when leading the bad guy out... Gimme a break.. If you give the media the info about how much you know and how awesome you are on the street your gonna get burned... Now they printed he story. Yes sarge, you are the real deal.. You chase double homicide offenders and really impressed that reporter.. Good luck trying to get dude, because the media didn't screw this one up, the big mouth big ego Sgt did... You didn't realize we were all watching and listening sarge???? It was sickening, it was like watching an episode of Chicago pd watching this goof talk about his "street" knowledge
Yeah but how did the newsmedia know he was a suspect in a double homicide? Some cpopper told them that's how. So while I hate the newsmedia, it was some copper that is equally responsible

A new device they invented - A police scanner.
At the risk of being pedantic, wouldn't "they took down my homie in a high profile chase this morning" be sufficient enough warning on its own? This wasn't exactly a quiet raid in the middle of the night, after all.
How was the media wrong on this?
Some copper talks, they report it. The problem is from within.
The rank and file stupidity is mind boggling.
Stop blaming the media. Look in the mirror.
if they knew what he looked like ahead of time, they wouldn't have chased him.
