Good Deed
- A good deed caught on camera generated lots of attention for two Chicago police officers who stopped to help a woman with a 1-month-old baby change a tire.
Sergeant Pat Barker said he didn't know someone was recording as he, his partner and a third man joined a fourth who had already stopped to help.
Barker said the woman's car was hallway in the intersection of North Lakewood Avenue and West Foster Avenue, so their first priority was to make sure her vehicle didn't get hit by oncoming traffic.
Sometimes a video camera around is exactly what is needed - otherwise, who'd believe cops actually do nice things on occasion? The truth is, we do nice things way more often than anyone even knows.

VERY GOOD to see a positive story on CPD.
Now watch what was sent to me by two very different people (one, a medical doctor friend who I know, the other a professional photographer).
THIS is a very eye-opening video.
Draw your own conclusion, but ask yourself this - why isn't the "crack" Media reporting this and investigating this??
Some of this video footage I have never seen played, nor have I heard any of the big media names even question some of these odd actions.
Whatever party you are a "lifelong member" of, this stops you in your tracks!!
Watch it twice...

Only assholes with an agenda think police dont do anything good or nice. When you are an asshole you probably get treated like an asshole.
Start taking your own, and having a friend post it?
The CPD should also give some recognition to the citizens that helped out.
They supported the police and their fellow Chicagoan.
Maybe others will see the example and help out in the future.
Squad... How many call do I got stacked
Citizen reader: Dean needs to get some people at the FOP who can work social media for your collective benefit. That means more special interest news (your interests) on the net and maybe publishing things many of you do off duty that are interesting on a facebook page you control and not the city and police administrators like CLEAR. It is all about presentation and if you let nit wits at CBS, NBC and ABC portray you in the public theater, you will never move your ball forward. They don't want you to.
Some great work by the detective division for example on high profile cases needs to be published. Otherwise it gets 30 seconds on ABC at 10:00. That is crap. Off. Mike Cleary got 20 seconds on camera for receiving an award at a school he is stationed at however at least he was allowed to comment. But that could be a huge social media opportunity.
More publicity is needed that YOU control and I also think FOP counsel should be weighing in more often on issues. By a large majority people support the police but you need to manage the news media and social media, that is not happening enough. This tire thing is the kind of subject the FOP needs to get on You Tube and FOP Facebook and other outlets. It was not only the cops who helped, it was citizens too apparently. Just the kind of thing to show cops and people solving problems together. There could me so much mileage off this it is incredible.
Nicely done.

You want the police department to give some sort of recognition to citizens who helped a lady change her flat tire? What does that have to do with the police? Should the water department recognize citizens for driving safely? Should streets and sanitation give out an award for water conservation? People should help other people because they're good people and they want to help, not for some bullshit recognition. The police department should not be expected to recognize random acts of kindness among citizens. It's just weird that you think this way.
Always amazed me that the police have to change their squads flat tires! I remember coppers hitting the medical after changing a tire because of a injury.
This is what a lot of us have said over and over again. The Sgt. said, I didn't know someone was videoing them, while helping this women. You have to think you are videoed all the time and act accordingly.
Great story. It is the type of stuff that we do EVERY DAY.
Unfortunately it will end up on page 96. That type of story doesn't sell newspapers
Good job, Pat. Say hello to the watch and One Fiddy for me
RJC
Watch it twice...
Only needed to watch it once! I thought it was symptoms of a stroke but this is a much better explanation. MSM...........Where are you??????
Gypsy scam. They lifted Sarge's wallet. True, they took the $5 lunch money I loaned him and he still gave me 2 on the end.
On that video -

That video jumped over 200,000 views in the last 24 hours. Very scary.
If you haven't watched this video - spend 15 minutes -

Great job by Sgt Barker and the officers up in 20. Even though it is a slow area they found time to help out. I bet there were about 100 able bodied citizens that never offered to help. I think the Goodyear Tire Safety award should be presented at the next CAPS meeting by Eddie Johnson.
Great job sgt barker! The sgt is a lead from the front type of supervisor. He always assists on calls and does the paperwork with you if a pinch is involved! Not to mention,he always takes care of and,watches out for the p.o.'s...sgt you will be greatly missed on first watch. Good l luck in your new assignment. P.s. no more back alley loud report investigations...lol!
