Get well soon brother, then take your time getting back. Thank god you had partners worth a damn and took care of business.
Get well Office.
Are fatty and the ballerina with the offenders family assuring them the police acted inappropriately?
Speedy recovery to the Officer and good ridince POS who was killed.
Get well soon! Lots, and I mean LOTS of citizens were giving their well wishes to ALL OF US at the scene. The tax payers are sick of this shit, too, and they let it be known. A few even hoped aloud for the Offender's demise. Truly refreshing.
Prayers for a speedy recovery for the officer!!
To whomever killed the suspect I say "hey man nice shot!"
Thank you for your service, for doing your job & doing it well.
Blue lives matter...thank you thank you thank you.
What else is new in the city
Offender dead? Good.
Fast justice and saves the taxpayers a lot of money.
Hope officer recovers quickly.
From a black man...
Just heard on the news that this officer should be OK with some rehab. I am glad for that.
When will this bullshit Black Lives Matter violence end, please? Why would any of us subscribe to this bullshit?
Tonight's armed and violent BLM member will never commit another crime. I hear he has entered hell tonight.
If you support black lives matter, then take it from a black man... you might as well join ISIS. Both are TERRORIST group...and pussies.
Time to respect authority. Our society would be in a much better place if we did that. When white/brown/white officer tells you to drop your gun, just drop your gun. Don't MAKE him shoot you. He doesn't want to.
Fuck black lives matter.
As of late, I'm ashamed to be black.
This is getting to be an almost daily occurrence somewhere in the U.S. Get well soon officer.
Enjoy the rest of the summer DB!!!
"But IPRA's ruling suggested the officer might have avoided killing the man if he had first warned he was going to shoot."
Pretty PLEASE! With sugar on top. Stop or I'm gonna shoot.

My heartfelt prayers go out to the injured officer. As a law-abiding tax-paying citizen of 18th, I would like to comment on something troubling to me. As I was walking my puppy in the NWMH area ~9:23PM (well after injured officer had been transported to Northwestern ER/was under the care of their tremendous medical staff), I took shelter from rain in carport of 259 E. Erie. I sat on public bench in that carport to wait out the downpour. Black tahoe IL plates Z49 5143 came at high rate of speed from south-end of carport; dropped off individual; proceeded at reckless speed to exit of carport and made left turn (westbound on eastbound street) and then proceeded to re-enter carport going southbound. Vehicle - sans lights/sirens - headed directly at me. I was fortunate to pull my puppy towards me and move out of its path. Had I not made that maneuver.. then my pup would be dead and I could have been crushed myself. Right passenger seat: black male ~240lbs ~5.10 wearing white cut-off untucked dress shirt/dark pants/black baseball hat/adorning blue lanyard exited vehicle. It was Eddie. Showing up for damage control presumably...idk.. but i have it all on video tape, and given my disdain for the man and all he represents - i'm tempted to release that tape. No lights/sirens. Was not code 3 @ that point. Responding to speak to press. What if he killed my pup or - worse - me? SCC, please advise on how to proceed here. I'm sick of BLM/sick of rank/file politics in this corrupt town/respect those that will respond should I have a real issue (although I'm not naive and carry 24/7 so I have half a chance). Again: all on video, and i'm sure someone would love to get their hands on that tape. I defer to you. Kind regards, citizen.
God bless Dave and the great coppers that did what they had to do!
They send one of ours to the hospital we send one of theirs to the morgue. THATS the Chicago way.
Hoping for a full recovery for you officer.
Glad the scumbag is taking a dirt nap.
I heard he was treated and is at home now. Great job office. Quick thinking w the tourniquet. Offender dead! Always great!

If it looked like no one was driving ?? It could have been Chief "cant see over the wheel" "the pillow" West.
Blue lives matter. Rest easy and heal completely. A concerned citizen.
Quick recovery for the brave officer .....
I can see the prancing ballet mayor and stooge lackie chief Big Al ....will demand tuffer and stronger gun laws now.
How about a ....War on Gangs,,....oh wait cannot have that the demonrats need them to vote in Nov.
Trump,....Law & Order !
They send one of ours to the hospital we send one of theirs to the morgue. THATS the Chicago way.

Probably not the time to be regurgitating silly movie lines. Grow up.
Heal well and fully our brother. Kudos to the quick acting partner as well. Great job guys. Thanks and God Bless!
Best wishes to the officer. May your Guardian Angel always protect you. We will keep you in our prayers.
Funny thing that at the exact moment I was getting the breaking news alerts on my phone, regarding the police officer, The Donald was talking about recent attacks on police and specifically mentioning the number of shooting victims in Chicago! I almost thought he was gonna mention this during his speech!
To all in blue... we sincerely thank you for all you do us.
Memorares on the way up! God bless.
Speedy recovery!
Thank you Chicago police officers for dealing with these ghetto thugs.
Your job is impossible, your decisions split second, and you do an amazing job.
Stand strong.
Stop all the phony shit !!! Someone get shot suddenly everyone is kissing ass !!!!
Smoke these fucking jack-offs!!!! You get to go home and they get to take a dirt nap. Great shooting and excellent marksmanship skills.
Normally I would rip that one poster for walking his puppy near Nortwestern Hospital, but this time I have to agree with him.
@ 11:57
Thank you
Has Ram sent a letter yet?
I wonder if offenders baby mama gets invited to Hillarys convention on Monday? She can join the rest of the clown choir there to speak about injustice. By the way, Sandra Bland hung herself while in jail because she was a kook. And her family simply left her in jail instead of posting the $500 bond. The betrayal of her family who turned their collective backs on her for more than three days is what killed her. Her mother has no business speaking publicly at a political convention like her shit does not stink.
Very happy to hear that the brave Police Officer was treated and released. Good riddance to the dirt bag who harmed him.
Score one for bicycle patrol unit. I've been impressed ever since the NATO protests.

Law professor is seeking disbarment of Baltimore prosecutors for taking POs to trial in Freddy Gray case even though prosecutors knew they had insufficient evidence to do so.
I'm sure the media and the Democrats will be referring to the offender as a victim. For all I know this has already happened. Momma now got to get her butt to the Democrat convention so she can speak out against the poleeces with all of the rest of the "victims" mommas who have been invited to speak. Pretty much makes me sick. For all of you out there that want these victims to get more free shit; vote Democrat.
Every one or you should carry a tourniquet, and know how to use it. Heck, carry two.
It was Eddie. Showing up for damage control presumably...idk.. but i have it all on video tape, and given my disdain for the man and all he represents - i'm tempted to release that tape.

If in fact that was fatty Johnson make a formal complaint or CR number go to media with your concerns he may be able to sweep this one under the table like his test takers. This will expose his real side to the public and embarrass the midget mayor who'll have to appoint another merit hack for the spot and of course jamal won't be happy either that his play daddy is making more headlines.
Great job by everyone involved. Glad the offender is dead and the officer is released and recovering. I saw the command van rolling toward the scene on my way to work and immediately thought a P.O. had been shot. It's sad that that was my first thought, and even worse that it was correct. Those are the times we live in now. Great work with the tourniquet and getting the officer to the hospital. Great shooting by whoever got the offender. All involved better get awards for their actions in saving lives and ending a deadly threat to the officers and the citizens of the city of Chicago. I'm sure Eddie the Idiot is trying to figure out how many should be stripped and who to visit to show that he thinks his officers used excessive force. Fuck you Eddie. Your ineffective leadership and siding with criminals caused this. You caused one of your officers to be shot. You failed the members of your department. You have made it acceptable to attack the police. You have done everything you can to try to scare your officers so that they hesitate to use deadly force when it is necessary. Luckily, the officers in this case didn't "de-escalate" in a situation where deadly force was necessary. You should hang your head in shame if you ever pull it out of your ass long enough to realize what you caused. You should be on TV commending these officers every chance you get. You should be speaking out against acts of violence against the police. You should try to educate the morons who cause the police to shoot them, instead of sucking their dicks after they force the police to shoot them. Better yet, you should just resign, because you are incapable of doing the right thing. You are the most ineffective, cowardly, criminal, useless, worthless, and brainless superintendent we've ever had. You have zero respect from your officers. At least the city is doing its best to ensure that you are in charge of as few officers as possible, by not hiring enough to keep up with retirements and resignations. Did you rush to the hospital just to go down to the morgue to apologize to the dead piece of shit? Did you have to rush away from a dinner with Jamal to get to the hospital? I'm sure you called him to express your regret that the officer would be treated and released. I'm sure your first thought was not of the officer's well-being, his family, or his recovery. I'm sure all you were thinking about was how to explain this to the media so that you can assure them that the officers will be scrutinized as closely as possible to try to find a way to fire someone for acting inappropriately. Fuck you and all your buddies. You are not the police. You are not a leader. You are not a superintendent. You are Rahm's bitch. You are Phleger's bitch. You are Jamal's bitch. You are BLM's bitch. You are the worst thing that could happen to the Chicago police during the worst time for the Chicago police. You're a failure and a joke.
Get well soon, officer. Just don't come back to work soon. You've earned as much time off as you want, and you owe this city and this department nothing. Worry about yourself and your family.

You should send it to the Scc newsroom by there email on page 1
To the poster regarding the black Tahoe almost running him over, I was an administrative aide assigned to a high ranking police official during my police career and many times we needed to drive aggressively to get from point to point not realizing that we may be endangering the public. I'm sure this officer was not trying to harm you or your dog. I would keep thus video and not take it to the news who probably will not air it.
LEMART should be mandatory. It was hands down the best training I received in 11 years o this job. LEMART should be taken every year for a refresher. This is at least the second officer shot this year LEMART has helped/saved.
Great job 001. take your time coming back office...

My prayers to Officer and family for a quick recovery.
Release the tape!
I'm curious where the Black Lies Matter people are? Oh, they only come out when a black person is shot and no one else is hurt? It takes a Police Officer shot and a weapon recovered for these ignorants POS to STFU.
SCC - Post the video of SpecialEd arriving at the hospital! Also, if you have any video of Rham and his caravan driving on the shoulder of the Kennedy as a daily occurrence with lights and horn blaring, presumably on his way home.
report positive(officer).....GREAT TO HEAR!
offender dead.......GREAT TO HEAR!
Best wishes to the officer for a speedy recovery. I listened to a clip of the dispatcher throughout the event; to a non-LEO, she seemed (to me) to be unbelievably calm, cool, & collected. A job well done.
Thank you all for all you do.

Code 3??? Go back to the burbs and stop watching so much TV. Oh the horror stories of the rough life in the Gold Coast.
The mayor will or already has issued an apology to the offender's family, the superintendent will strip the officers, the ACLU has already demanded an investigation, the FBI has begun the investigation, the justice department has sent their team of investigators to assists in the findings (officers wrong) findings of course and the victim's family has already filed a lawsuit.
as the social fascist wing of the Demonrat Partei considers liquidating police to be an excellent & Productive "propaganda" tool that they actually think will help them beat Trump, look for this heinous & vile assassinations to continue & increase as Nov approaches.
Next week could be really bad as the social fascist's gather en masse in Philly. They are packing the podium with rabid anti-police haters who will be encouraging more & more of these attacks...
Please be so careful & alert because the only folks supporting you are us l'il people & we have Zero Power & Zero Clout...maybe better yet: Shoot First & Ask questions later or Shoot first & be asked questions later because those who survive will be asked many many questions all designed to provide a basis to convict the targeted officers. If the military arm of the democrat party can't kill you, then the political arm of the democrat party will convict you...pretty simple & very symmetrical, concentric attack...right out of Alinsky's (another Chicongo favorite son) playbook: "Rules For Radicals"
I fear for all officer's lives, but police who ride bikes are easy targets. Hopefully, they're donned in vests and helmets, even with the intense heat.

"The shooting was another example of 'too many guns,' too many people willing to use them," Johnson said."
Too many guns!! Johnson, like obama can't state the culprits responsible for 98% of the shootings, It's surely not law-abiding citizens.
"Emanuel said he and his wife, Amy Rule, "are hopeful for a full and speedy recovery, and our thoughts are with the officer's family, friends, and his fellow brave men and women in uniform." WHAT!!! RIGHT!
Post the videotape
No one man cars on any shift , including supervisors . If assigned to a one man unit document it on the PDT or over the air that I have been ordered to patrol one man.
Chicago needs another 2500 police officers hired ASAP .
Rahm dig deep , supply every beat car , bicycle unit with a tourniquet , it could save a life ,
Every life matters , yes Rahm especially the Police Lives .
Rahm , city pays for many entitlement programs , help Chicago citizens that qualify get a discounted CCW Permit . Police are 5-10 minutes away if available at all . Listen to the radio , check back logs , show us you care .
Mandatory sentencing for violent criminals , you write a letter for a police fighting protestor , gust attempted to disarm a Captain of Police .
You must be an embarrassment to your wife and child . Start wearing the tutu outfit , time to come out .anything for a vote .
Good. Punching that shitheads ticket was righteous. Awesome.

It's not like he was going to chase down the offender. What a stupid move by both him and his driver.
I vote for releasing the video, since he's so big on second-guessing officers from old videos. Let the public decide.
Oh gosh, oh gee, I hope Ed had enough time to visit the offender at the hospital before he passed.
The jagoff mayor visited the officer after throwing all of you under the bus.
"But IPRA's ruling suggested the officer might have avoided killing the man if he had first warned he was going to shoot."

Sometimes "there ain't no time for making speeches," as that great Emmylou Harris song goes.
...and besides, the classic way that so many fools get themselves killed is to respond by "turning and pointing a gun" when ordered to stop and drop their weapon.
By now, I have seen so many car/body cam videos of officers actually endangering themselves, backing away and backing away and pleading and yelling over and over again -- but some people simply will not stop coming.
Maybe "the officer might have avoided killing the man if he had first warned he was going to lunch."

Upload it to YouTube pronto. If Bolshevik libtard idiots and Bowel Movement Matters morons can use an iPhone to record coppers' every move, then so can officers and law-abiding citizens.
I'm just a citizen, so I'll say it: C.P.D.'s so-called Superintendent aides and abets criminals. Proof? Lil Ja'Mal is Numero Uno on Special Ed's cellphone. I still cannot believe this so-called superintendent would actually strip officers for doing their jobs and fulfilling their primary objective: going home alive. Is Special Ed a police officer, or is he a banger? Actions speak louder than words, and what this buffoon has done in record short time is criminal. In fact, where I come from, Special Ed is guilty of CONDUCT UNBECOMING.
Best Wishes to the wounded officer on a speedy recovery. The dead scumbag earned his early exit from this world. As Kurt Russell's Det. Eldon Perry says in 2002's DARK BLUE: "At the end of the day, the bullets are in the bad guys--not US." ;)
M.F.
P.S.--This homegrown quarterwit makes the New York Streetlight Assassin look like a Ph.D.
Saturday Nite Special Ed flying to NWMH, the 'after' crime scene....RELEASE THE VIDEO.
Just wondering how many others he put in harms way... and that's just being the Supt.
Special Ed must have thought he was the On Call Street Deppity and of course didn't want to keep the media waiting.
Must have been a antagonizing 15 minutes.
Hey ciitizen, we all love a Benny Hill comedy...Release the Video.
Maybe even True News USA would most likely post a Link too.
""As of late, I'm ashamed to be black.""
Dont be. Enlarge it to being ashamed for being American so we can all join in with you.
OMFG Did you see that pic of Eddie and the other two Gold Stars in the Trib down at the Hospital? WTF! Your running one of the biggest Dept.'s in the world and you cant tuck your shirt in? Meanwhile whats with the all black parade? We want one of each in our pictures, black, white, and Latino. Very un PC.
Good work by all Officers involved on the scene, PO was at the hospital in under 8 minutes from being shot to pulling up to Northwestern.
Officers, please be aware of your surroundings. The days of hiding in a hole with your paper and coffee are over, if you choose not to work at least keep the vehicle moving. Do not be a sitting target for these domestic terrorists.
Officer resting. Good. He'll need his strength for all the second-guessing, the "Black Lives Matter" lying mob, and the review boards who pretend the know more about street violence and close quarters combat than police officers do.
So when do the frivilous lawsuits against the police begin?
Insane!
Love the stories with happy endings! Nice shooting.
A Chicago Police Officer was shot, doing his job, investigating concerns of local residents.
Yet the Fibune and others won't make that the headline. They state the Officer was wounded or hurt in a shootout. As if he scraped his knee or cut his hand.
So blatant is the complete disregard for the safety of the Police in this city, from the Mayor, politicians and local media. Everyday we attempt to bring civility to this city. Everyday we are cursed, railroaded and labeled the villains.
Best wishes to you Office. Praying you make a full recovery!
Everyone else, stay vigilant and aware!

Said prayers for a brother in blue great team God bless the police! Enjoy time off no hurry to get back you have full pay and benefits and that money on IOD is tax free so you don't need to hurry back for overtime!
This makes me sick. What's worse is its not going to get any better anytime soon.
We need to stick together like the Philly cops-
http://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/jul/21/philadelphia-police-union-slams-hillary-clinton-ov/
Get well soon, brother, and take your time getting back. We will be waiting for you at roll call.
Sincere prayers for the Officer. TAKE YOUR TIME. I thank you. Fct is, many do.
I'm not in Chicago, nor a cop, but your city sounds like the Wild West!
Again, heal. Take your time.
Speedy recovery and good reaction from other POs. I'm assuming there was a brief struggle by shot PO due to lower extremity wound. I just look at the few stops I do and how much different and less safe we are. We often don't put our hands on people for fear of reprisal and ISR receipts. It's just bad, really bad. I know I'm not alone in saying I don't even know how to police anymore. I always did the right thing, stopped the right people and they always cried foul. They don't want the rules to apply to them.
To the poster that said:
"As of late, I'm ashamed to be black."
I appreciate the support. True, black people have said a lot of racist stuff to me but the way I look at it, they're the bad ones. However, there have been very kind and supportive black people where I work and I've had really good interactions. Don't ever feel ashamed for being black or however you were born. We are all Americans. We're just going through a rough time. The problem has less to do with race and more to do with a desire for civil disturbance and a desire to fight law and order...it's fun to these people. Look at the crowds...plenty of white and Hispanic agitators as well. Why? Because ultimately, it's fun and empowering to fight. People of all races relish in it and have been validated through media. Thanks for your support but remember we appreciate good people like you and that we have to stick together and not let the race narrative take over.
Blue lives matter.
-- not a cop
Thank God he is going to be OK take your time coming back prayers sent! Then you have this a nice calm day in Germany look at this video by McDonalds of shooter many dead and shot:
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/munich-shopping-centre-attack-video-8474976
Please it is happening worldwide watch you six, head on swivel phones and texting put that down stop it look around pay absolute attention we have our black lies matters terrorist group attacking police and then this!
Get well and take your sweet ass time coming back no rush..
To 0104 am good citizen,
So let me get this straight. A policeman was shot and a shithead was dead as a result of that and your concern is that the police were driving fast? Also that someone's shirt wasn't tucked in
i understand its your world and we revolve around your feelings but just think for one minute that maybe , on occasion, there are more pressing issues than you or Toto. Just remember that when you can't handle your own problems you call us.
Maybe your Pulitzer Prize winning video should be shown, you self centered ass hole.
From a black man...
Just heard on the news that this officer should be OK with some rehab. I am glad for that.
When will this bullshit Black Lives Matter violence end, please? Why would any of us subscribe to this bullshit?
Tonight's armed and violent BLM member will never commit another crime. I hear he has entered hell tonight.
If you support black lives matter, then take it from a black man... you might as well join ISIS. Both are TERRORIST group...and pussies.
Time to respect authority. Our society would be in a much better place if we did that. When white/brown/white officer tells you to drop your gun, just drop your gun. Don't MAKE him shoot you. He doesn't want to.
Fuck black lives matter.
As of late, I'm ashamed to be black.
7/21/2016 11:57:00 PM
First, glad to hear the officer is OK and will live.
As of late, No coward police shooting/murdering Suspect has been proven to have anything to do with the black lives matter movement. There is about as much proof that black lives matter members are behind these calculated attacks this month as there is proof that police officers are choosing to exterminate black people in a calculated manner. Which is slim to no proof, whether anyone here wants to hear it or not. You won't see it here, because our protesters seem to be nothing more than college aged millennials, but protests around the country have turned in to cookouts with protesters and police officers, protesters hugging, giving handshakes and thanking police officers (even in DALLAS, right before the shootings). These shootings are happening because of ones own agenda or another movement they may be following.
And this is coming from a black Chicago police officer with 11 years on (and can prove it).
When it's a lawful shoot and no criticism then it's a feather in the hat of working and retired police officers nation wide,thank God the good guy goes home safe and bad guy doesn't go home.
Don't be ashamed to be black. Contrary to popular belief we are not all racist painting everyone with ine brush. 99.9% of cops get it, and don't care what race you are as long as you are not an asshole predator to society.
Question: If u don't have a CONTRACT, how come u can't go on strike?
01:04 - Send the tape to Inspector General Joseph Ferguson. Forget about sending it to Rahm since his limo drivers are just as careless. You may want to send a copy to one/all of the tv stations - but don't get your hopes up high since they are not seeking the truth but only wish to hype their own corporate agenda.
Thank you for your kind words regarding supporting the blue and sorry that you and your pet were needlessly placed in danger.

My heartfelt prayers go out to the injured officer. As a law-abiding tax-paying citizen of 18th, I would like to comment on something troubling to me. As I was walking my puppy in the NWMH area ~9:23PM (well after injured officer had been transported to Northwestern ER/was under the care of their tremendous medical staff), I took shelter from rain in carport of 259 E. Erie. I sat on public bench in that carport to wait out the downpour. Black tahoe IL plates Z49 5143 came at high rate of speed from south-end of carport; dropped off individual; proceeded at reckless speed to exit of carport and made left turn (westbound on eastbound street) and then proceeded to re-enter carport going southbound. Vehicle - sans lights/sirens - headed directly at me. I was fortunate to pull my puppy towards me and move out of its path. Had I not made that maneuver.. then my pup would be dead and I could have been crushed myself.
You're not much different than the hood rats in 10/11. You sit back and videotape stressful situations & think that video is all the evidence. At times, dealing with the folks (or people) in the fast districts are easier than dealing with Chicago's elite.

First our president is behind all of this disorder. Remember his mentor is Bill ayers a terrorist from the weather underground. The democrat party has based its existence on creating division from its days of being connected to the klan to the more recent connection to black lives matter and the asshole president we have who started This most recent war on the police with his comments that led to the beer summit.

hey douche bag !!! put yourself and your 18th district liivng self( enough said there), had one of your siblings- brothers or sisters ,,,, a close one to you, i'm sure you'd be driving like hell to get to the hospital to be at their side. regardless if it was the media or not you racist jag off. the sup has nothing to do with BLM, unlike you who was inconvenienced and had to " get out of the way" ass hole.... go fuck yourself!!!

7/22/2016 09:56:00 AM
Yeah, it would have been great if the wounded officer lived and a citizen was killed or critically injured by the superintendent trying to race to a press conference. Brilliant.
Question: If u don't have a CONTRACT, how come u can't go on strike?
Because our geniuses at the union added this foul smell of superiority to the contract with a "no strike clause" thinking negotiations with the city would always be fair. SMFH.
"Policing is safer than it's ever been!
Especially since Obama has become president,
so what are you Cops on about a regarding a
War Against The Police?"
"You Cops think too much of yourselves and
need to know your place."
"It's not a binary choice between supporting
protesters and supporting Cops."
Don't feel sorry for the thug that got what he asked for. His mother has plenty of time to join the rest of the Thug Moms on Parade at the democrat convention. If that is not enough to get every CPD member and there family to vote for Trump what will it take?

7/22/2016 03:17:00 It's illegal and unethical
here's the kicker, Some pond scum attorney will get the family to sue, twist the truth, if the city doesn't settle hope for a Crook county jury hoping for 1/3 of the ghetto lottery. You civilians wonder why the city pays so much.
Oh well, at least Rahm won't need to send this one a letter declaiming his "good character". But remember CPD, and never forget, that "Rahm has your back!" ( with a bull's eye on it).
I am still getting in touch with everyone I can think of, from high circles to regular citizens, to make them aware of how Chicago's mayor is taking the side of a criminal who attacked the LEO of Chicago. Even if the criminal used a form letter from a year ago, everything Rahm has done has shown that he sides with the people who make your jobs more difficult and dangerous. It's a long proven pattern. This is a scandal, and I want Rahm to know that he's becoming famous amongst normal law-abiding citizens, for how he sides with criminals, including those who attack his own PD (not "his", but you know what I mean). He deserves to be famous for this. My daddy always said, "Never do anything you can't stand up for". Rahm just may have the arrogance to stand up for this inexcusable action, but I can guarantee that normal law-abiding Americans will never understand nor find any excuse acceptable. I assure you that we respect LE too much to think this could be excusable in any grounds, especially considering Rahm's record of throwing y'all under the bus.
I want him to be a pariah amongst his fellow politicians in other states. I know that's naive, but one does what one can. I know your fellow officers elsewhere are on your side, and mad as hell on your behalf, the ones I've spoken to about this.
Oh, and a sincere question-how hard would it be for y'all to do a "blue flu" action, on a day when it would hold significance, such as your Bud Billiken event? Would it be too hard to co-ordinate, is most of the rank and file of the CPD on the same page about taking some action, is there solidarity? (not to sound like a lefty).
Thank god the officer had excellent back up. Get well soon officer.
The law abiding public appreciates the job you guys do. It's too damn bad that the president, tiny dancer, and jamals daddy don't feel the same way.

SCC have you seen the FOP request that we don't work ANY OT of ANY kind through the entire Labor Day weekend. Make this a key post
I heard Black cop, white offender. Any truth to that??
Since the media and revrunds weren't all up in arms I assume at least the offender was not black.
Nereida Moreno, Jeremy Gorner, Megan Crepeau, Marwa Eltagouri Wrote an article in today's electronic edition Chicago Tribune and identified the witness personal background for reporting suspicious activity........speaks volumes about law and order!
TRUMP that!

Ok... Aside from every-fucking-thing
Rahm Emanuel has ever done, being illegal and unethical

What else ya got?
Rahm deserves a wall of sandbags at his back,
a blindfold, a stale-assed cigarette and a
half dozen riflemen in front at the ready for
what he's done to destroy this city and cast
Policemen as the ones to blame for it.
Giving this city over to #bl(a)m, aclu, doj,
Dude Inc. and others so he can bust our pensions
and divest us of them without any interference.
THAT is the REAL reason he chose to parachute
into Chicago after Michelle Obama and Valerie Jarrett
ran his narrow ass out of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
Rahm has no love, concern, understanding or ties to this city
other than the money he thinks he's going to steal.

* A number of people have been killed and another 21 people are injured after gunmen went on a shooting rampage
* Police operation was launched in Munich, with force warning people to stay in their homes and avoid public spaces
* Terrified shoppers were seen running for their lives from the Olympia Shopping Centre after hearing gunshots
* Witnesses said that the shopping centre gunman screamed 'I'm German' and 'Allahu Akbar' before shooting
* Shooter reportedly fled after his shooting spree on the city underground network, which has now been shut down
* His body was found half a mile from the scene. Police believe he acted alone after initially looking for three gunmen
* He has now been identified as an 18-year-old Iranian, who has been living in Munich for more than two years

I think the dog walking resident is on your side, CPD, and some of the vitriol is unnecessary. As he said, it was well after any exigent circumstance, so there was need for Eddie's driver to go balls out and almost run him over. He was offering up the tape to hang Eddie out to dry, to turn the tables so to speak. I understand you're upset about your brother officer being shot but Boy, some of you are sanctimonious jerks. Everyone else isn't always the enemy.
This officer and ALL officers injured (shot, stabbed, run over, etc) should immediately file a lawsuit against the perp or his estate for intentional infliction of emotional and physical injury and pain and suffering. That way when Rahm throws then bushels of money to keep their vote the officer will have a lien on it.
My heartfelt prayers go out to the injured officer. As a law-abiding tax-paying citizen of 18th, I would like to comment on something troubling to me. As I was walking my puppy in the NWMH area ~9:23PM (well after injured officer had been transported to Northwestern ER/was under the care of their tremendous medical staff), I took shelter from rain in carport of 259 E.

Had I not made that maneuver.. then my pup would be dead and I could have been crushed myself. Right passenger seat: black male ~240lbs ~5.10 wearing white cut-off untucked dress shirt/dark pants/black baseball hat/adorning blue lanyard exited vehicle. It was Eddie. Showing up for damage control presumably...idk.. but i have it all on video tape, and given my disdain for the man and all he represents - i'm tempted to release that tape. No lights/sirens. Was not code 3 @ that point. Responding to speak to press. What if he killed my pup or - worse - me? SCC, please advise on how to proceed here. I'm sick of BLM/sick of rank/file politics in this corrupt town/respect those that will respond should I have a real issue (although I'm not naive and carry 24/7 so I have half a chance). Again: all on video, and i'm sure someone would love to get their hands on that tape. I defer to you. Kind regards, citizen.
How do you know it was "well" after the officer had been transported....under the care...)Is that your normal route to walk your precious puppy or did you walk over there because you heard an officer that had been shot was transported there. Were you there "camera" ready to get any type of footage you could? What exactly is "reckless" speed in your opinion? If someone in your family had been shot, is it possible your speed would be "reckless" in trying to get there and find out for yourself their condition? What is your disdain for the Superintendent based on, and just what is it, that you think he represents?? If you are sick of so much in Chicago, why don't you just relocate, you your pup and your camera..........

She wasn't the one sitting on a bench in the park leering at young girls. She wasn't the one who pulled out a gun and started shooting at the police.
The inability to comprehend the concept of personal responsibility is one of the major contributing factors to the decline of order within certain segments of society.

You, sir, are simply an ASSHAT.
A huge thank you going out to all in the 001st Dustrict who were on scene at this shooting. Everyone came together from getting the officer safely to the hospital to protecting the scene to be processed. Thank you to the citizens that stayed to give their statements of the events that took place. It was a great showing of everyone's professionalism while dealing with a very stressful situation. Unfortunately the weather was not on our side so a huge thank you to all who had to stand out in the storm while processing the scene. God bless the officer and his family and take all the time you need before returning to work. Proud to be 001st District CPD.

Many of these assholes were not raised with any concept of personal responsibility? What the hell is that? All they can understand is black man dead. Police killed blackman, police are bad. I mean it is simply that stupid. And there is nothing you can do about it. So when Hillary brings out Michael (the gentile giant)Brown's baby momma at their convention, I switch the channel to The Bachelor. It is not quite as mindless as his mother. She is a damn fool.

I respect this blog. I respect law enforcement and the CPD. I'm sorry I offended some with my commentary regarding my almost being hit by Mr. Johnson's Tahoe. Few bullet points in response to negative comments: 1.I'm born/raised here and not a suburbanite (although I don't think that should be held against one). 2. I live 2 blocks from NWMH and I walk my dog there as routine to see my father who is an ER doc there. 3. My disdain for Eddie; i'm too tired to get into it; those who know, know. 4. I apologize for using expression 'Code 3," which is a universally accepted response code; I understand CPD has unique derivatives so i should have specified; that said, if one reads radio transcript, then he/she will note that "Code 3" was used; I presume it was used to draw support from ISP (on LSD next to scene of shooting) and Northwestern Police (in area receiving officer casualty); 5.I know officer was in good hands because I was told so via text from docs @ NMHW; 45 minutes later Eddie showed up; I watched him enter ER and within 5 minutes he was back on street in front of cameras. 6. If Eddie killed someone in reckless response to press conference, then would that be justified? 7. I give up. God bless the good ones - the majority of CPD. To those that took my comments out of context; I'm sorry. To those who responded with harsh words because __fill in the blank__: go f' yourself and good luck. World has a tendency to work itself out. Cosmos. I'll continue to read SCC but am left numb to the ignorance of many who replied so harshly. End of day: it's not okay to put other's lives on the line to make it to a media appearance. There is zero logical argument to defend that position. Eddie doesn't give a shit. He had been playing golf, was impaired, did his press-conference song & dance, and then went to fuck his girlfriend before going home to his wife. God bless the good ones. The ignorant: get less ignorant please. Respectfully, citizen.

You did the right thing by calling out his poor driving. Never mind the haters here who feel compelled to justify bad behavior of anyone wearing a police star just because a civilian called them out on it.

Glad you're OK.
I still like the old "Zone Of Silence" green-cross signs you can still see up by some hospitals, back from a time when something was still respected, back when things had some meaning. Rode up Stony past the old IC Hospital on my bike when I was a kid, and I was whispering to my Dad next to me...

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-witness-describes-moments-before-shooting-that-killed-man-wounded-cop-20160722-story.html
A violent confrontation on the Near South Side that left a man dead and a police officer wounded began when a woman walking her dog became suspicious as the man sat drinking in a park.
Amani Abou Harb, 25, said she was with a friend when they noticed Derek Love, 50, drinking beer and watching three young girls play ball at the Battle of Fort Dearborn Park in the 1800 block of South Calumet Avenue around 8 p.m. Thursday.
“We were there for over an hour," she said Friday. "He didn’t have a dog with him, he was just drinking. He was basically watching them and looking at us. ... You sometimes get a gut feeling that this person … isn’t acting normally. He didn’t say anything but it was the way he was looking at us and the girls.”......
Harb said some comments on the Internet have blamed her for Love's death.
“It’s not my fault what happened. I just reported something that I saw that was worth being reported," she said. "That’s what police are there for. If you can’t tell them, then I don’t know what you’re supposed do."
Harb moved to Chicago last year and is working on her master’s degree in public policy at the University of Chicago. She was born and raised in Lebanon, and received a bachelor’s and master’s degree in English literature before switching career paths.
"If you feel like you’re seeing something suspicious that could potentially put other people in danger, the way you should respond is, to get the people there out of harm’s way and report it and let professionals deal with it,” Harb said. “Clearly I didn’t walk up to the guy and ask him, 'Hey, why are you here? Why are you drinking?' I just made sure the park was cleared and the girls went home. And I told the cops because figured it’s their job to deal with it.”
