Cop Injured, Chase Ensues
- A Chicago police officer was injured after a chase that started on West Side and ended in the western suburbs Saturday morning, police said.
Officers observed the driver commit a traffic violation in the 4400-block of West Lexington Avenue at about 1:35 a.m. and initiated a traffic stop in the 600-block of South Kostner Avenue, police said.
The driver, identified by police as Kerry Holoman, 22, of Chicago, refused to provide his license or proof of insurance and sped away on the sidewalk, running over an officer's foot, police said.
Holoman drove west on I-290 and crashed into a light pole while trying to exit the expressway at 16th Street, police said. He was apprehended after a brief foot chase in the 1500-block of Harrison Street in Maywood.

A car chase in 011? No way.
Get well officer.
Don't chase NOBODY! On foot or in a squad car. Let the police bosses chase these demented maniac Thugs. Call the local Democrat Alderman to chase the criminals in his ward. Why risk your life, job, or family for ungrateful citizens.
The average chase on zone 6 3 rd watch. Is under 10 seconds 😡😡😡👎
They both will get time what the fuck were they thinking !
Our agency can't chase either....and everybody knows it...and almost EVERYBODY runs. No consequences for them, and they still haul ass at 100mph. Stolen cars, who knows what on traffic stops, quads, dirt bikes, etc. You name it. They all run.
I'm surprised it wasn't terminated.
Get well soon officer, but time and time again guys and gals continue to chase. The department is going to throw everyone under the bus if the chase ends up with someone getting killed. It's time to stop chasing.
The other night in 015 we started roll call with this reminder.
"If you even think about starting a chase. Look at your partners then look at the photos in your wallet
of your loved ones. Then think about what it would be when these people see you stripped of your job awaiting
police board or criminal trial. And how they will be effected when you are convicted for doing your job."
It sucked the life right out of me. I only got out of car to eat and end my tour of duty.
Thanks to our politicians since this is only going to get worst.
Can't negotiate with terrorists
Dumb. Some people will never learn. Get back to us and let us know how many days you take when all is said and done.
Wait till someone gets killed during a "police chase" and your hung out to dry..and sued civilly,how cool will that be....It's not worth it..
Congratulations you caught a shit head
Now we have to give you 3 days.
I never thought I would say this but here it goes..:.dude you will bebom IOD either way you got the plate you can make an impound out for it. The general orders are stacked against you when it comes to a chase. You will get fired if shit goes sideways!
Now every car will be checked by caboodle and anyone that violates the chase order will be written up. Stop chasing.
Vehicle Pursuits: NO.
Would you not take-off if you knew nothing will come of it as long as you make it to the burbs, instant gratification in the form of no ticket, and hell, you might even land a huge settlement. Breaking dept policy is asking to be sued civilly.
Get well fast copper.
Call the ACLU or the newspapers. Let the asswipes enforce the laws, they're professionals you know. Let them get run over, spit on and cursed out. They could probably do the job unarmed! I would sure like to see how they would do it!
J.J.
I've said it time and time again
Some officers are so dense that even a brick to the head couldn't knock sense in their thick skulls
Traffic stops? Resulting in chases?
In today's climate? And then we're supposed to donate to your benefit when you catch time, possibly even separation ?
And spare me the "I'm the police, I took an oath, blah blah blah".
You took an oath for a job, a duty that no longer exists. Those in charge have told you so with every
roadblock and hurdle they've put in your way culminating in the last nail in the coffin the DOJ report
If you just go with the flow it's actually the best time ever to be stuck in patrol
BECAUSE THEY DONT WANT YOU TO DO ANYTHING!!!! Can't you get it?
If you still feel the calling to be the "real police" find a job in another jurisdiction and save your freedom
It's precious
Stay safe
Retired after 31
They let the chase go because, he ran over "One of us" and the midnight operations LT. DB has got some real stones!! They appreciate YOU. Not JS!!!!!!!
The average chase on zone 6 3 rd watch. Is under 10 seconds 😡😡😡👎

That should be taken as a hint. Don't chase, moron. You should thank your supervisors for saving you from yourselves.
Let's start impounding these vehicles assuming we get the plate. MCC 9-92-035 form 34.342
there he goes!i c nothing!!
Once again, The laws do not apply to criminals.
Liberal Logic 101
None of these animals are worth your job. Go home safe, collect a check, stay FETAL
Has anyone ever compiled stats on what was discovered in these incidents unrelated to the original stop? It just seems that the offenders are really trying to hide something else, no just avoid a ticket for a burnt out light, etc. When you see the traffic stop videos that turn violent on YouTube you get the feeling that the complete story is not being told. The high profile shootings captured on video in the last year always have another component that seems to elude the media (drugs, guns, robbery, etc.).
Don't chase, just recover the hunk of junk and move on.
every squad car should be equipped with a sharp spear so you can flatten all the tires.no chasing needed.
Someone forgot to stay FETAL......enjoy your lawsuit one/two years down the road. Usually right after the offender gets hammered by Crook County judge with probation or case gets dismissed. Either way the ghetto lottery is on the horizon.
Pay for that light pole!
I was not there. But the implications are limitless...but not for the Sgt.
Traffic stop with a DL or without...is that $110 at CL 09 or the usual 30 day Supervision?
But KeefHoloman will come out of this faster than Rahm at a news conference.
All that damage, injury and discipline started over a traffic ticket.
Keeps getting better doesn't it.
One less thug, a recovered gun (no UUW) and a bad driver off the streets.
Commander, AlderRoach, all of 011 should be safe now, let the kids out.
I heard it all go down. A great job by the officers. Calm, cool and collected even after one of them got hit by the offender. They sounded completely in control and gave the supervisors no reason to call it off. And kudos to the supervisors monitoring it to let them go.
Of course this is what happens! The police are not to be the police anymore! The criminals know it the police know it but the courts and the politicians don't. What were you expecting a tuna on rye!
Don't chase.
Put the plate, make, model, color, offender and direction of travel over the air.
Light it up.
At the first sign of car not stopping, self terminate.
Park and put your location over the air.
Then close your eyes and try to forget you just saw a stolen car flee from you..
1110... stop following lol
"Officers observed the driver commit a traffic violation in the 4400-block of West Lexington Avenue at about 1:35 a.m. and initiated a traffic stop in the 600-block of South Kostner Avenue, police said."
"The driver, identified by police as Kerry Holoman, 22, of Chicago, refused to provide his license or proof of insurance and sped away on the sidewalk, running over an officer's foot, police said."
So, this driver is pulled over for a traffic stop and has none/doesn't want to give his DL or insurance. Then he gives a big "fuck you", driving away on the sidewalk fleeing the scene.
Two Questions:
1) Why are you officers that close to a car, that when the driver flees the scene, your foot gets "runt over"?
2) Once fleeing the scene and driving on the sidewalk, (a hazardous situation of possibly hitting "folks"), and I'm sure commiting several other traffic infractions in the process, you officers decide to chase said idiot when you should have terminated right there on the spot.
I'm guessing some of you younger officers haven't REALLY received the message. Maybe you should start off reading the order on vehicle pursuits, then when you finish, have a sit down with your fellow hard chargers and review the video of those officers in the 004 district back on 28 July of last year, start with that.
The revruns, "community", politicians, and police brass WANT for you to stand the fuck down, so give them what they want.
Your day should be to show up on time, uniform correct, log on to all cameras/PDT's, answer your jobs, code/write paper, only arrest on signed complaints, and repeat. Enjoy your furloughs, the 1st and the 16th. You can still be the police, just not proactive. When a vehicle flees from you on a traffic stop, get the plate and do an impound. Check your ego.
Don't be the next breaking news story on the 10 o'clock news!
Get well officer, I hope you and your fellow hard chargers fuckin learn something from all of this.

Shit...
Even on a unicycle.
Stop chasing these jag offs.
Will the idiot be charged with felony fleeing to elude? Or will you go soft on him like all your criminals with guns charges?

203 PM hits it right on the head.
It's good to see so much support for our fellow officers. Even more Monday morning quarterbacks. Guys who stay fetal are the same ones complaining about the crime or the amount of patrol they get in their own neighborhood. Guess we are all on our own. Yet we mind enough to gossip about those who choose to work. Can't to the job? Not happy with the job? Then quit. So simple yet so ironic huh? I'm not a hard charger by any means. I'll make a stop or two a night. I might even write a parker. But some extend the belief of being fetal to not backing up officers. Stick together? Never. It's all for self and self for none. Trolls.
Its the young guys that unfortunally want to be cops that chase. But its not worth your pension and career. Vit has to be drilled into their heads everyday. Retired nj cop
Why chase someone when you could get sued hurt then lose your benefits and the union does nothing
Stop chasing, read your damn orders. As for the I took an oath crowd save it. Your job is to answer your calls, this is a job only.
Here's the thing if you must do traffic stops make sure those camreras and mics work!! If they run then let them go!!! Make sure you give out as much info as you can in a calm and professional voice!!! After that clearly state you are not chasing and put your self down doing an impound report on the car. Boom! You did some work you didn't risk your life or your partners and if that car is found by city tow truck it will be impounded. If you want to do work you need to be smart! Even then things can go to shit and you can end up in call back or worse. Always be mindful of your surroundings and that includes your hands and feet.
And liberals wonder why people are moving out of the liberal utopia called Chiraq?

According you should make this a thread this post is spot on every officer should read this
In 012 We have cars flee to the 290 and it happened to me on a traffic stop. The plate came back clear. One of our good Sgt's (a beauty with brains) told me if it is stolen the victims got insurance and will get back their loss and if not stolen order the impound and showed me the order that no pursuit number is needed.
Special Order S07-03-05
IMPOUNDMENT OF VEHICLES FOR MUNICIPAL CODE VIOLATIONS
FLEEING VEHICLE IMPOUNDMENT UNDER MCC 9-92-035
Upon the discontinuation of a pursuit and unsuccessful apprehension of a fleeing vehicle or when a vehicle flees and no pursuit is initiated, Department members are authorized to request an impoundment of the fleeing vehicle.
1. Department members are authorized to request a vehicle impoundment when they attempt to stop a vehicle in a marked Department vehicle, with the emergency roof lights and siren activated, or in an unmarked Department vehicle, with the high-beam oscillating headlights and siren activated and:
the driver of the vehicle fails or refuses to stop after an attempt by the police to curb the vehicle; and
for reasons of public safety, the member(s), does not pursue, voluntarily abandons or discontinues the pursuit, or is ordered to terminate the pursuit by a supervisor.
The way I see it if they are running "away" then they are heading in the right direction so why do something to make them turn back?
I'm loving all of these inane vehicle pursuits. Mostly initiated due to PSMV. They add a soap opera type moment to the tour of duty. Some can even be quite gripping adding in a bit of suspense to the monotony.

Law Enforcement Oath of Office
is equivalent to a shit between
two shoes on the wrong feet when
it comes down to surviving this
job long enough to put in your
time, take your pension and flee
this city with all of your accumulated
treasure while you're still young
and healthy enough to enjoy the
sweet fruits of your labors...
Moved to western rural Montana 20 years ago, no regrets, no desire to come back even for a visit. Carl Sandburg called Chicago an Evil city.
