Sounds Familiar?
Family calls, tells dispatcher that the family member is armed, guess what happens? Of course, this is in DuPage, not Cook County:
- No charges will be filed against a DuPage County sheriff's deputy who fatally shot a 17-year-old boy near Villa Park after responding to calls that the teen was threatening family members with a knife and destroying their home, the state's attorney for the county said.
State's Attorney Robert Berlin issued a statement Thursday saying the shooting of Trevon Johnson by the deputy was justified.
Berlin said that when the officer arrived at the home shortly before midnight on Jan. 1, dispatchers had received multiple calls from distraught family members who said the teen was armed with a knife and was threatening family member while trashing the residence.
As he approached the home, the deputy heard the sound of breaking glass and drew his weapon before entering the home, according to the statement. After entering, he saw one of Johnson's relatives at the top of the second-floor landing and asked him to come down.
While searching the relative for weapons, he heard the sound of footsteps and looked up to see Johnson leaping down the stairway toward him with "a pointy 3-4 inch, 1/2 to 3/4 inch wide dull grey metal knife-like object" in his raised right hand, according to the statement.
We guess the State's Attorney actually follows the written law out there.

Yeah if that happened in Crook County there be an up roar. "My Little Pony" Foxx would have prosecuted here in this corrupted county and city government.
This Deputy ought to be thanking the Almighty
that he wasn't in Cook County...
Kimesha "Da Peoples an' Folkses Revenge" Foxx
would have him charged and tried by a jury
of his "peers" here in Cook County.
"The Cops always be wantin' a bench trial
to evade da peoples an' folkses justice!"
Good on DuPage County.
They apparently are still able to
interpret and apply the law as written,
not according to how they feel.
Wonder if DuPage is hiring?
Berlin follows the law because the people demand it. If he didn't, he would be just another ASA. I tell my homeboys when you do crime here you do the time. That means when you get caught, you go to jail on a solid bond or crime against people, more solid if you get a bond at all.
You are brought to trial typically within about 60 days on average and juries will convict a ham sandwich let alone their sorry asses. The judges will lock you up in IDOC for maximum term prescribed and the whole process takes about 6 months on typical felonies based on what I see. The people demand it.
But most important, when you come here you are being watched. You may not notice but people are watching just ready to drop a dime. Snitching is social policy in our community. We like cops here and we want more of them. You folks should be looking for jobs in Du Page and Lake counties. Better working conditions and better pay. Why the hell not?
Never name your child Trevon. Bad luck.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Bob Berlin was a good guy when he was a Cook Co. ASA. Dealt with him on a few occasions.
Okay. We'll know what all the protesting is about when it breaks out there. But why did they call the police? Could it be the police are not the problem? Family members with weapons are the problem? Well, in this case at least, problem solved!
Good luck to the Officer involved.

The legacy of this era of police brutality will be a drop in the quality of future rap and architecture.
Artists, scientists, thinkers...getting mowed down by the dozen by the crooked ass police en shit know'm sayin?
I remember ASA Berlin at 26th Cal back in the late 80's or 90,s as young upstart. He was pretty good on all my cases.
They need to stop naming their spawn trevon. Never seems to work out well.
Being on the Chicago Police department is a lot like being on the Chicago Bears, you just can't win.
Trevon , Hmmmmmmmmmm
I'm leaving Chicago next year. I plan to work in a different county so I can retire with no memory of cook county and the bullshit we all been put through in our law enforcement careers. Screw all these politicians and "judges".
In Crook County it would have been "why didn't they taser him" or "why didn't they shoot the knife out of his hand" or "he had mental problems and the police weren't trained" and the media and black bull shit caucus would have been all over it.
great work by dupage county berlin is a real prosecutor also kudos to Schaumburg pd great work , another illegal kills a defense American female had he lived in Chicago rahm could maybe issue him a municipal id card
The states attorney in Dupage is not a ghetto rat from Cabrini Green.
Social Justice Reform for Votes.
KimFwrinkle is a States Atty as much as Special JugHead is a Superintendent and any partially reasonable person working with 1/3 of active brain cells can see that.
There won't be $350,000 dead victim charity compensation coming from Villa Park either.
Since they don't close jails in stricter Dupage Co, they are probably eyeing the Fed money that Cook Co won't be getting too.
This is wonderful finally a "law and order"place to live, toni rahm and tommy clown crew 3 stooges look over here this is the way to stop crime, the carnage and excessive bloodshed in chiraq, here is the example now "just do it" Let's make "Chicago safe again" but your all to brain dead to help the innocent people as you pander to the illegal invaders and the criminal elements! Great job judge your the "real deal!"
Crook county should be taking notes. Good ending for officer involved. We'll Never see laws being followed properly in this shitty place.
Nothing will change in city. and crook county. they created this mess in the black community for only one reason is votes. They will let the city burn down just the votes count.
You mean he wasn't just funnin?
