Another Summer Mobile Shooting
- A Chicago Police officer was shot in the hand and a suspect was also wounded late Saturday in an East Chatham neighborhood apartment building on the South Side.
Officers on routine patrol got out of their vehicle just after 11 p.m. when they saw people drinking on the street in the 8100 block of South Maryland Avenue, Deputy Supt. Kevin Navarro said in a press conference early Sunday. When the officers walked up to the group, one of the people ran into an apartment building stairwell.
The officers chased him into the stairwell and saw he had a gun, Navarro said. During a struggle for the weapon, the suspect shot an officer in the hand. The officer’s partner returned fire, striking the suspect. A gun was recovered at the scene.
A bit closer to the lake this time - only a mile-and-a-quarter or so.
And as usual the relatives are all up in arms:
And as usual the relatives are all up in arms:
- Relatives of the man gathered outside Stroger Hospital declined to comment. They complained that police were chasing the man, and they could be heard shouting.
You know what would be nice? If these assholes would just drink in the yard. You know, the way we do. Nobody bothers us in the yard.
But if that doesn't work for the "community," we would once again, just ask for a list of laws and ordinances that the "community" isn't required to follow - ordinances and laws passed by the duly elected representatives and presented to the Police Department for enforcement.
In the meantime, good job to the coppers involved, a quick recovery is wished to you.
Gee, it seems like Summer Mobile is going to be a little shorthanded for the rest of June.

great U2 concert last night. 70,000 fans and no trouble as far as I know. People's loved seeing the mounted unit and all the coopers with M4's. Thank you lady's and gentlemen
Shorthanded...I see what you did there.
Have a speedy and heathy recovery. Take as much time as needed for rehab. The job and the assholes will still be here when you get back.
You think any of these coward reporters will press rham on why the Summer Mobile officers are always protrolling in Boxes no where near the lakefront. Didnt he announce last year after the problems at the beaches, that this summer mobiles singular goal was to patrol the lakefront. You coward journalist are ruining this country. Your supposed to be the governments watchdogs not their lapdogs! Cowards!
I think the department is going to regret this 30 day desk policy.
Summer mobile!!! Everyone start taking full furlo to avoid this debacle and box style policing. We are sitting ducks in this box that you cannot leave except for your 30 min lunch. It is a shame. Just start a jump out boy unit already. Where you won't get sent to the hood if it gets disbanded
Get well. The coulda-shoulda of proactive policing. No heros in the ghetto please.
Yes boys, there was once a time when going out and getting a gun was the thing.
But those days haven't been around seen since the waning of the Sony Walkman.
Stirring up Rahm'sKids is a no-no. He has more sympathy for them than he has for us.
As Rahm Emanuel's liberal Sister-City London mayor would say:
"I want to reassure (The Community) and all our visitors, not to be alarmed. Our city remains one of the safest in the world,”
Where is that titmouse?
Is he a Special Ed in hiding again, nibbling on a wheel of cheese as the mayhem spreads?
Business as usual for Tolerant and Feral Chicago.
Stay Fetal, mind your business and plan on going home w/o any additional holes.
Get well soon office. May you fully recover and not suffer permenant damage
Let's take a group of officers by reverse seniority who are just off of probation and put them all together in a high crime area that they are not familiar with. What can possibly go wrong? Every single gold star that signed off on this should be fired for stupidity!! To the officers involved, good job and enjoy the summer off the best you can.
He was just trying to get home to get his Carry Permit and FOID Card!
Huhm, remember that other alleged gentle giant just walking down the middle of the street before the big bad police came by and pulled his neck through the car window? Biased media lies and the left agenda to further destroy America.
Should have been on the lakefront !
The Lt. on afternoons over at Summer Mobile is apparently going by an activity quota regarding whether or not you can take a day off. Instead going by seniority, like it is clearly states in our order, he's deciding to make his choice by how many arrests, ANOVS, and parkers you've brought in. If true, let's get it in writing! At this rate all the POs will be guaranteed 30 extra days!
Remember when Mark Brown wrote his article bout the racist white people who don't want section 8 up north? Well 81 st Maryland, hell the entire east end of 006 is now section 8, and how has that worked out Mark? Used to be a beautiful middle class neighborhood there. Then section 8 came and it now crime riddled. This is why they don't want section 8. Not race-chatham residents been complaining bout it for years-old it brings crime and terrible people. Sure Mr. Brown will rush to the area to validate my point. And to the officers at the scene:excellent job. Most of our training is a joke but the beat car who first arrived used LEMART training to apply a tourniquet to the injured PO. Talked to PO and helped keep him calm. Great job. It's going to be a long summer. With all the "reform" Rahm and Eddie keep handing us on department directives it's clear our safety is secondary to the section 8 residents. Another officer shot, sadly odds are more to come. We're restricted on what we can do. But last night showed how well we perform when we stick together. We are all we have out there now more then ever. Stay safe.
Not a cop -- but as a law-abiding citizen I think I'm entitled to an opinion. One you're right. God bless the cops who coulda been hurt worse. Two: fuck anyone who thinks otherwise.
That 30 day bullshit is insane hey Eddie you want coppers to destress after this event? Use the millions in "discretionary funds" send them to Florida with their families all expenses paid and you and the rest of the pathetic exempt pension thieves stop wearing our uniform your all a complete disgrace!
Did the mayor and the 50 idiots up fit our vehicles with bullet proof doors?
https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2016/03/10/ford-upgrades-bulletproofing-police-cars/81588578/
Hey Kevin know your busy fighting properly for #1 issue pension funding since we are worst in nation another issue we protect the public now protect us!!
Wishing a quick recovery to the officer. Great job by all. 600X is the real deal
The lakefront must be expanding? Global warming!
OT
nypd officer in critical condition after being dragged by a stolen vehicle.
Remember no threat
No chasing allowed? Since when?
IPRA will be complaining they're understaffed and can't handle another duty related shooting this month.
Moneybags Rahm will addresss the issue and increase IPRA funding and personnel before he'll ever increase manpower to the CPD.
The only exception is that there's way too many house mice being stocked piled on the administrative rolls.
Gotta slow down guys, the ghetto is not worth the aches and pains.
Little bit of a double standard in my end of the city. White folks playing ball in the park, watching their kids play ball; they drink all the time. But at least they clean up after themselves.
Hope the officer will recover completely.
That said, what part of 'stay fetal' haven't you guys figured out?
The first problem was engaging a group of assholes drinking on the street. The second problem was doing it on foot - that's a huge tactical disadvantage. If you absolutely felt it necessary to address a routine, insignificant issue (this shit is happening on every other corner in the ghetto) a spotlight and a "time to go" over the PA works 99.9% of the time.
ALL THIS BECAUSE THE SUMMER MOBILE BOSSES WANTED FUCKING ANOVS.
Yeah, I'll Monday Morning QB this all day long speaking from 2+ decades in the shittiest ghetto districts. It's called 'picking and choosing your battles'.
Heal completely and slowly, officer.
I'm sure the politicians will be screaming about why the police were bothering someone just having a beer. It's their neighbor right?
Just like Kidnergarteners, their world revolves around attention. Who would be able to see them if they were in their yard? Ever on a call where a family member passes away, and the relative is perfectly calm until they get outside on the front porch? Then they can't stand up all of a sudden, start screaming hysterically, etc. When on the front porch, everyone can show off their new Air Jordans. No one can see them in their back yard. Remember, it's backwards world.
Haha "shortHANDED." Cop humor
Three years ago I had a non duty related hand injury. Two surgeries and months of tenuous therapy had me worried if I would come back to work. Hope this officer makes it back to work
Back in the day when a suspect had a gun in his hand we would shoot. Guess now we have to struggle with these morons hoping we can get the gun away from him before he shoots us. Hope the officer asked the offender to please put the gun down before they fought with him. Insane!
Great job. The community better step aside so the streets can be made safe again.
So wait, those quality of life issues led to a uuw pinch? A uuw pinch of a violent offender? Who would have ever thought that something small could turn into something much larger........ it's like police work....
Fuck you tribune
Fuck you suntimes
Fuck you abc 7
Fuck you DNA info
Fuck all you media bastards for escalating the hatred for police, you fucks should be in training for "de-escalation techniques."
Wow.
2 days and at least 4 officers on mandatory house arrest.
Good work officers.
I am guessing this was unintentional, but maybe SCC should use a different word than "shorthanded" in the last sentence of this story. Sort of sounds like a joke made at the expense of the injured officer. Heal up brother, our prayers are with you.
"Gee, it seems like Summer Mobile is going to be a little shorthanded for the rest of June."
Am I an asshole for noticing the irony?
We should strike!
Also why does a FOP rep come out after an officer involved incident?
Sargeants unions have a lawyer that responds.
A hand in injury can be very debilitating lots of nerves tendons get damaged. Good luck to the PO. ♠️
Best wishes to the injured Officer only.
Take your time healing and don't let the
nitwits at the Medical Section bother you
about how they think it's time you should
return to work.
That's between YOU and YOUR surgeon.
As an aside:
We noticed that the Fibune has run both
subsequent Officer Involved Shootings
but have turned the comment sections off.
Why?
Isn't it their duty to foster public
discussion about how the public safety
situation in Chicago has reclined in
riotous rot under Rahm Emanuel?
What is there to be gained by stifling
this badly needed conversation?
Other than the conversation being seen
as very unhelpful to "The Narrative."
Rahm must've called and said he didn't
want more of his insulation burned off
this summer.
Bang bang
How punny!!!!
Is that the new way to get out of the shitty "summer mobile" detail? You know, with the 30 day mandatory desk duty.
Given our climate, why is any police officer getting into a foot chase just because the exercise loving citizen ran? I commend the proactive police work, but shot in the hand could have been shot in the head! Not one, but both officers could have been ambushed running into a building after this prick. Are they really worth dying for?

The "Lake Chicago" of some 12K years ago
would have had the arc from approximately
modern day LaGrange, IL. to Gary, IN.
submerged under 50 to 75 or so feet of water.
Send in the Marine Unit.

CWB Chicago: Private Patrols: Promoted As "Off-Duty Cops," The Truth Is Much Different
http://www.cwbchicago.com/2017/06/private-patrols-promoted-as-off-duty.html?m=1
It's awful that a Po was hurt, but it begs the question. Was chasing this guy for having a pop on the public way worth the aggravation and dreadful concerns to the family of the Po? Besides, where I live in 014, there are patrons of clubs and restaurants walking about the public way with beer bottles all the time and this isn't the ghetto.
Gentlemen, stand down already !
Too bad you guys will never experience the Summer Mobil back in the day. Best gig this department ever had and they paid me to do it. Best time on the job I ever had.
The Lt. on afternoons over at Summer Mobile is apparently going by an activity quota regarding whether or not you can take a day off. Instead going by seniority, like it is clearly states in our order, he's deciding to make his choice by how many arrests, ANOVS, and parkers you've brought in. If true, let's get it in writing! At this rate all the POs will be guaranteed 30 extra days!
Um. If you were stupid enough to volunteer for this then you can't complain. Plenty of volunteers in this detail.
Isn't the park district paying for the summer mobile unit to patrol the lakefront and parks?Just asking. Paying for something and not getting it is called theft. Right? Oh wait its Rahm Never mind.
Search chicago world news for the username on youtube and you will see a video with a pic of this perp holding a 1911 and what looks like a s&w in his hands.
MOB monsta in the dirt boy.

Yes a bad idea, Even though the unit does have some senior officers. What about the foot patrol they had a few years back? Officers weren't even off probation! Placed a bunch of PPOs in the ghetto, in a box, on foot, great idea!! I've had the unfortunate luck of doing both foot patrol as a PPO and SMP. Both complete garbage!!
This unit should not exist. Through no fault of their own they are the most ill-equipped, misdirected, and tactically unsound unit in the city. I venture to guess over 75% of this unit was assigned based on reverse seniority making it almost entirely comprised of P.O.'s with an average of three years on the job not including detectives, gangs, supervisors of which there are few and which again were probably almost all chosen based on reverse seniority. This is already proving to be a failed enterprise and I bet a memo has been or will be sent to those in charge of this failed unit to stay off the radar for the time being. Look for it to come when they come off their RDOs.
Shoot a cop, you die. Seems about right to me.
To those that moan and groan outside the hospital, why didn't you teach the stupid asshole a little respect while he was growing up? Or is that not part of your "culture"? Don't worry about him now, I'm sure he's burning in hell with others of his "culture".
J.J.
I caught that short handed comment also. Type guys that run this blog would never make a bad pun like that one intentionally.
A quota for activity at summer mobile? For what? Just keep the beaches safe! Oh wait, not that summer mobile, where the quota was the amount of beer and wine etc... confiscated! Never mind...
Have to admire the consistency of the clouted bosses. They have the slave labor, reverse seniority people, trapped at a detail, that most didn't want go to, and they force them to meet a self proclaimed quota, to be able to use their contractual rights to use THEIR time to be off. (Was that a long sentence or what!)
Just how many people were soft enough to volunteer for that bullshit!
God bless the officer and may you make a full recovery.
That said, I've given up getting out of the car and engaging ghetto monsters over ANOVs years ago. Quite a few of us believe the ghetto is not worth our best efforts or one drop of an earnest officer's blood.
Just go through the motions, guys. It's their neighborhood, not yours. If the citizens (and their elected representatives) really wanted laws enforced, then we wouldn't be seeing new garbage laws and orders coming down like this Non-Use of Farce policy.
And if this incident stems from insulated "bosses" pressuring new guys for activity while the "boss" sits in his office with his hands clasped behind his head, feet resting on a desk, then that good officer's blood is on the hands of that disingenuous deceiving "boss".
Chased for drinking on public way???
Are you fucking kidding me??
what is wrong with these officers nowadays?
Are they just STupid??
This whole summer mobile team is a JOKE
and who is the idiot bosses in charge of this?
They should all be sent somewhere
"I think the department is going to regret this 30 day desk policy."
Can't win the game with your best players on the bench. Good plan for the enemy

Speaking from personal experience Dr. Mark Cohen out of Rush is one of the best in the entire state for hand injuries.

Hey you volunteer next year then smart guy
Sounds like a fairly close range shooting by the partner, and the assailant lived? These folks are like cockroaches-hard to kill.
That's a boatload farther than 1.5 miles from the lake, lol... More than 3x that distance in fact
"Gee, it seems like Summer Mobile is going to be a little shorthanded for the rest of June."
To those of you outraged by this little pun (pun = joke).
Grow up.
If you don't have a sense of humor, this job will eat you up.
Enjoy the circus. You're one of the clowns.
