Wrong Address
- Jennell Cross had just settled into a leather couch to watch a movie in her daughter’s South Chicago home when she heard one bang, then another against the front door. Frightened — it was about midnight Thursday — Cross said she ran to the back of the home to warn her daughter. “Somebody’s trying to break in the house,” she yelled.
Shanae Cross said was trying to pull her mother into a restroom for safety when a swarm of cops barged into the house, guns drawn and shouting questions. The officers moved through the bungalow and tried to handcuff Cross’ 17-year-old brother. The family demanded to see a warrant.
Finally, an officer called out the address on the no-knock search warrant.
It was for a different home on the block.
Mistakes happen and the City will end up repairing the door almost as good as new (not really). But perhaps Phil Cline can come back and run a few of his Search Warrant classes? We seem to recall a portion of it that dealt with checking the address on the paperwork a few times, ensuring it was correct on each piece of paper, using existing intelligence photos to verify the building (Google Streetview anyone?) and when you pull up, someone makes sure the numbers on the building are the numbers on the warrant so the guy on the ram knows what door he's hitting.
We're trying to figure out the Tribune though - get a load of the picture they used to accompany the article:
What subliminal message are the Tribune editors attempting to send? Because we can think of a couple hundred reasons you can't breathe lady.

Good old tact, well enjoy the fall out 4 year wonders.
If you’re gonna make an omelet, you’re gonna break a few eggs....
It’s what happens when you make sgt with 7 years on, are given a team after a week on the street, and the team consists of 3 year wonders with one veteran brought in to “show them how it’s done.”
Make sure they replace the trim and repaint and repair the wall while they are at it. I just had an efficient door added to my house and it cost me about 4 grand
A nightmare scenario. What if the house was home to a responsible gun owner who decided to defend his family? It may have been an innocent mistake, but was certainly a colossal and dangerous one. Everyone on that team should be taking major time.
Yeah, I can think of a few reasons she can't breath too. I can think of a few reasons that her blood pressure is too high also. So what. I hope the apologies are fulsome and the restitution is generous. Chicago now has at least 3 and probably more people who in a jury would have reasonable doubt about anything a officer would testify to. Is jury nullification a thing up there? This is not a trivial joke of a mistake.
Lady is the wrong word to..... nevermind.
You may be able to think of a couple hundred ways she can’t breathe, SCC, but only one really stands out to me.
Shit like this happens when you have never-been-the-police 5 year wonders faking their way through search warrants.
The chumps involved should have to pay out of pocket for being so fucking stupid.
That said, expect a few dopes to get dinged as the Koolaid Man in the "I Can't Breathe" shirt had Stupidintendent Kidney Bean on the blower moments after the door was breeched. Hence the extensive media coverage and the Bossholes scrambling to cover their asses on scene by ordering an ET for pictures (I guess the superstars are exempt from bringing the mandated digital camera to a SW?).
Some of you goofs will never figure out that the whole police work thing is way overrated, especially in the current atmosphere.
When does she have time to breathe Looks like she spends most of her time eating McDonald's
Wait, don't tell me. Officer Mel Tillis barked out
the correct address. This is the guy who should
have done the pre-invasion check. And how many
iPhones went along on that raid? A good attorney
will get those locations real fast. The boys spent
more time on the phones than reviewing that warrant
address. Smart phones turn your mind to shit, which
is a major problem if you were'nt too smart to begin with.
The citizens deserve the same protection and courtesy
that Daley gets on LSD.
No that's just fucking dumb. They must have missed search warrants 101. These guys let the excitement of the pinch fog their minds. Not good. COPA will have a slam dunk with this one. Hope their paper work is tight. Good luck.
The same exact reason the other mope "cant breathe"...
You're a fat tub of goo that's going to die of a heart attack at the first hint of strenuous activity outside of cashing a welfare check.
You need the home invasion criminals from Cook
County Hotel to put on a seminar, but most of them
are out on I-Bond. Second choice: Leo from ISP.
They watch a lot of film and really know how to choke
down a dragnet.
Keep up that hard work all you whipper snappers. You’ll make that difference. There’s always idiots that will buy that kool aid to try and impress the bosses
Sgt Golden Boy fucked that one up. Wait until his other scandal comes to light.
SCC - visible on tv coverage was the address, with the last digit missing. The missing number 9 was barely visible, due to the unfaded background where the numbers were affixed. Ms. "I can't breathe" was indignant that the officers misread her incomplete number.
Retired .38 spl +P
Didn't they drive past the house beforehand?
She fin ta get paid!
I'm curious how many peeps have Special Eds number cuz baby girl had him on speaker minutes after this happened. The on scene supervisors in true spineless clueless fashion had no clue how to handle the fuck up cuz they were never the working police. I'm talking deer in the headlights when the news van showed up before the et. Absolutely fuckin pathetic these clowns that are supposedly in charge. There's protocol in place for exactly this type of thing but when you have dumb ass merit promotees with no people skills or ghetto policing under their belt you get what we had today.
Phil would certainly do it, but his going rate is $150K.
um yea ....im sure it was pleather
To the Sgt and especially to the affiant, "Lucy, you got splainin to do."
Then she should loosen her pants.
fuck the tribune, although this is a colossal fuck up and never looks good
Because we can think of a couple hundred reasons you can't breathe lady.

Possibly a woman--definitely not a lady!!
Merry Christmas to all.
Stay safe & come home to your family.
Stupid shit like this does not win the Police any friends.
That picture is fucking awesome!🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣.
Give me an Amen!
Accidents happen. It wasn’t the first time.
But please, don’t encourage Phatty to come back. He began implementing the concept of “strip mine policing” that resulted in civilized areas losing police protection so he could suppress hood homicides for Shanks.
Phatty’s for Phatty.
$125, 501 in salary from police memorial fund on top of his fabulous $146,973 yearly pension. He’s too busy anyways.
Did they find an overused LINK card?
I did not think any local police agency would be able to get a no-knock warrant approved today.
Again lowering standards and hiring the dumbest people with fake college degrees.
What leadership we have.
She can’t breath because of the extra 200 lbs of blubber.
Am I wrong for immediately shouting out: “OH YEAH!!!” when I see that photo???
She can’t breath due to the four fried chickens she had for dinner the previous night.
I'm sure Rahm has his checkbook out for another installment of Ghetto Lottery. Pretty stupid mistake, someone should have some time off for this one.
Was this raid pulled off by any of recent hires that needed remedial reading course?
Hey it happens. I’ve been part of that before. At least they did it the right way in apologizing and doing the city damage claim. Some idiots still think it’s a good idea to write themselves out of trouble on something like this instead of just admitting what happened. It’s a mistake and just a mistake but the handled it good. She may file a lawsuit as happened in mine but it’s a very very easy one to deal with. You’re already admitting you hit the wrong door and already admitting that you went in. It was a mistake and will be treated as such. She will get a little cash but that’s it. It was by far one of the easiest and non stressful lawsuits going especially when you can just sit back and admit it was a mistake and you hit the wrong door. I think our people got 15k and it was quickly settled after a few months with no drama. These guys will ol be fine. Good job handeling it the right way.
"Because we can think of a couple hundred reasons you can't breathe lady."
HA HA!!! Made my morning SCC!
Here's one reason, her shirt is too tight and pushing on her diaphragm a little too hard.
I can't understand why I have type 2 diabetes.
Why wasn't the person who requested the warrant on scene? Wouldn't that person know if they had the right (or wrong) building?
Not only can't Jennell Cross breathe but she can't play Pool on that neat Pool Table in her Dining Room either.....
..... she can't fit between the Pool Table and the outside Dining Room Wall.
Yes, Leftist Snowflake Trolls, I'm 'Fat Shaming' her. There's NO EXCUSE for someone to get that Obese. NONE! In fact people like her make me sick, physically ill, when I see them out on the streets.
You can take it to the bank that she's on Social Security Disability, likely since she was 21, due to her 'health issues' -- Which is draining the Social Security Fund of benefit money from people who actually worked all their lives and paid into Social Security!!
ps: the most exercise she ever got was lifting a fork to her face
/rant off
Hopefully with the money she gets from the city she will be able to afford a Weight Watchers plan. ♠️
Make list and check it Twice
Melissa. Another Mistake
Why do u guys even continue to work. The 50 arrest made from facebook has been lost in the wind. You still can't see it that no matter what u do your wrong. This by far has been an example of how much they just wait to bash the police....mistajes happen or maybe bad guy wasnt home or under a different name either or u didnt happen ro go there by accident u were given imfo and thats all u can do is work with it...
This is why you put the description of the building to be searched in the warrant. Was there no surveillance during the investigation? Nobody executing the warrant was able to look at the house and say “no, it’s not this house. It’s that one.” Gotta use your heads and stop giving them the ammunition to smear us.
Too many of us trying to act like TV Cops.
Honeybuns is still on the front page, front and center for three days now. Iguess "She's dreaming of a Rahm Christmas" "Just like the one the brutha's know". "Where the Lawyers glisten , and juries listen". "And cash flows out like the snow". "Im dreaming of a Rahm Christmas" , "With every lawsuite that I write", "May my days be Merry while I jet". "To Vegas with your cash to bet"
Next time dress up as Santa and his elves before executing the warrant, they would of gladly opened the doors for the idea of more free shit...
Having a doorbuster sale like that is not a mistake, it's incompetence. Call it what it is.
Well, when the sergeant of the team has less then 10 years OTJ these problems will happen.
Now, Now SCC....it is Christmas Eve....
Sarc off.
The shirt?I am sure she believes it is sumthin other than that extra 180 lbs.she be walking wit!
For the first time in her life,she smell Rahm munny,and not J J 's..
Dat's some funny shit SCC !!
I love the can't breathe shirt, it that because you weigh 300 pounds
Unfortunately mistakes are sometimes made.... we are human after all. Can somebody show me a profession in which no mistakes are ever made??
The media can’t help themselves though they’ve got to keep hammering home their “police are bad, police are the problem” agenda.
I can’t wait to put this shithole in my rear view mirror.
Sour grapes on her choice of shirt. We fucked up. Period.
The photo clearly shows the Tribune, which used to have a header stating that they were a Republican Newspaper, is in fact Racist and Fat Shaming this victim. Also, they should have not been concerned when they saw White guys breaking into their "Crib". This time of the year it could have been Santa and some taller than normal elves! Baby "G"
Time to go on a diet if you ask me!
Really?! This is fucking embarrassing.
Where do they come up with those first names?
I honestly believe that no-knock is a ridiculous tactic, almost designed to get someone shot. Granted, startled Texans shooting officers in the head are rare and flash-bangs in the crib are a one-off (so far). I believe the cost/benefit analysis of forensically recover evidence or even losing evidence all together versus burying someone justifies a calmer approach, even before factoring in community relations.
Do you think she put that on just for the camera, or does she wear it regularly?
The actual saying should be, "I Can't Leave" as in the all you can eat buffet.
It's all section 8 housing isn't it? Why doesn't the city just give the police a key? No need to kick down any doors then.
You can’t breathe because you’re a fat slob. You look like a walrus with all that blubber. Oh yeah, sorry about your door - you know you gonna get paid
To all the bitter assholes on here commenting about the sgt with little time on, you are all the typical jealous losers that are sitting on watch hating while you do nothing besides answer your same calls day after day. Don't want to rock the boat but also lazy dogs. The sgt is smart, and a working cop since the beginning with generations of family that were on the job and still on. So let's support each other, and not play Monday morning quarterback when accidents and shit happens. Don't enough people hate us already, merry Christmas and be safe.
Rule #1: Don't Fuck Up.
Ya'll Fucked up. So apologize, figure out what went wrong, and fix it so it doesn't happen again. It should go w/o saying that everyone in that situation is lucky to be alive. Had someone knocked down the door to my house - they'd be facing the barrel of a gun.
And all that bullshit about "being the police! With a warrant!" - in the heat of the moment, when you known you've done nothing wrong, you think "this is a scam, total bullshit" so you're taking cover with the firearm, yelling back, doing your best to "know your target" before pulling the trigger - and then discovering it's *someone* in what look like Police uniforms - but again, you've done nothing wrong, so it's gonna be touch 'n go for a bit... and that's when shit can go bad.
Best to avoid the whole situation by looking at the damn address before - double, triple, quadruple check. Send out the guy on the team who isn't a "lowered standards, extra points given on the test" dyslexic to do that so he doesn't violate Rule #1.
On a side note: Did the J/O in the house they were supposed to break down the door at end up getting arrested, or did he see the drama unfolding down the block and say "Hoooooooley sheet! I'm up outa this M/F?" and is in the wind...
can't breathe from all the grunting necessary to
excrete the four flusher. the settlement she gets
will never be enough to cover her flaming hots tab.
merry Christmas SCC
Obviously a police hater but what gave it away?
Had it been Domino’s or Jimmy John’s and different attitude would be displayed.
Kudos for the Fake News Media drumming up the Anit-Police sentiment with this bit.
Did the FakeNews give her a moment or did they provide the appropriate attire for the photo shoot?
Weak and ineffective StupidIntended Special Ed (along with his standard apology) have to strap on a tool belt and replace that door to earn some trust?
For a laugh...
There’s a picture of a doe sign out there on the world wide internets that reads:
NOCK HARD BUT NOT LIKE YOU THE POLICE.
There’s a reason why most of the community doesn’t put up numbers on their buildings.
There’s another reason why three year wonders and merit hacks shouldn’t be running the show.
Another 5 oz. of weed doesnt get seized and remains out there.
This might be the end of the No-Knock and a week long Training session on violating the community trust.

she says that she cant find a job now because shes been emotionally scared by da police.
This is a media hyped event. Sure, it is a mistake and one that has happened before and will happen again. Do the city claim form, and let corporation counsel deal with the rest. 10 or 15 grand and a new door. BTW , she does not own the home, she is a sec 8 tenant.
Please don't make excuses for this. This is a HUGE stupid mistake caught on CAMERA. Yes, she gets a Christmas bonus courtesy of the police, but what is wrong with the police procedures?????????
rahm better get his dancing elves over there and get shenahnah a new door
I always use a few websites for photos: google, bing, cook county assessor, also the city has a interactive zoning map that is very helpful were you can get a good deal of info( just google Chicago interactive zoning map).I think it's important to use a few sites because google is quite often not accurate, and most of time it blurs out the addresses. But the thing I always try to do is physically drive j doe /c.i by the property and have him/her Id it in person. I understand it's difficult If you are in a district with no covert vehicle or you don't want to burn the one vehicle the district has, but it's something I always do and I have always luckily hit the right door. What you have to take into account at all times is you are taking the word of a person with a questionable background / motives, and they can and will make errors or lie to the officers if they think it will help their situation. So always be very thorough when collecting info from the j doe/c.i. If I ever get a feeling j doe is on bs I drop it.
Credick goes where credick is deserved scc. That comment beliw the picture of mz cross is priceless. Great way to close out 17. Merry christmas
The Sgt. who hit that house, PC, is an absolute clown! How dumb can you be Napoleon?

- and the guy who was gonna “show them how it’s done” was promised a merit promotion. That’s why he left his other cushy spot. Now I know this is gonna be hard to believe, but he’s a bigger idiot than the Sgt!
Some genius blocked Google street view from department computers. An invaluable tool for search warrant prep.
Sgt. PC’s brain is the size of his body, very small!
Now Keeeez me you fools!
Lol I like the little “Golden boy” explaining his dumbness, I hope his little clout bubble can save him once again!
Does this affect Teddy’s merit Sgt. Spot in any way?
The Yellow they made, can be put towards the lawsuit! Keep writing SW’s goofs!
I have seen coppers with 30 years on the job make mistakes, so all you cry babies, who think they are infallible go find another job. I don’t care if your a worker or a dog ass you do all coppers a disservice with you gossip and degrading opinions. The liberals and police haters know more about uniting for their own then some of you piss moaning opinionated individuals. And what’s really funny and hypocritical is that if you made sergeant after 5 years you would grab it and wear it like you were so special. You want to be special, band together to support each other or keep your mouth shut.
Likely she can't breath due to her excessive girth. Lottery, Chicago style kicks off.
Big whoops... but this is what happens when you do lazy police work. Now you gave this ghetto hood rat her 15 minutes . All because you obviously didn't do your homework.
Hope the hard chargers on Tact enjoy that lawsuit.
Shines a big light in what's going on in that district . Officers with basically no time on the job being pushed to write search warrants. I think people forget how serious these things are supposed to be. Despite what we think of dope spots or ghetto houses, we are still basically ramming our way into a private residence when they are not expecting it. Things have the potential to go very wrong and for that reason it should be done thoroughly but this is CPD... we'll just cookie cutter the thing and take the informants word for it.. what could go wrong ? Luckily this time it went as well as it could have gone...
What if that was a CC Holder’s house? And they decided to defend their family?
What about if that was your house & you reached for your side arm?
This could have went terribly wrong!!!!
Sounds Familiar, real sloppy job for the Officers, totally no homework done and obviously a John Doe search warrant. Big Dummy!! Now wait for the lawsuit to follow dummies. I should blame the Supervisor, totally useless Moron. I bet it's a merit guy so your are forgiven for your moronic intelligence. "Squad this is Sgt Moron, I need a event number for a search warrant" . . . . . . . . "Ops wrong house Squad, this is Sgt Moron again, I need an event number for criminal damage to property." . . . . . . . LOL. Keep it up and soon you will be a Merit LT for sure. The more dumb mistake you make the better chance you get promoted meritoriously.
How about the picture over her left shoulder in black and white of ole boy pointing the pistol. Maybe they should have searched her sons room a bit.
the wrong address scenario was in the opening scene of the pilot episode of “Hill Street Blues”,,,Sgt Esterhaus’ response: “we never should have stopped doing these in pencil “

Hey Idiot, it should not happened. There are procedures and protocols to follow. The problem is none of the Officers involved never cared to follow. Even the supervisor didn't care. It could end up bad either for the civilians inside the house or the Entry Officers. They could have end up shooting at each other during the force entry. You have to remember it's a different time now. The old Gun Law in Chicago has been tossed, which means more people keep guns in their home because it's totally legal now. You say it's fine now because nobody got hurt, I wonder where you stand when someone got shot accidentally because you didn't follow protocol. Let's see, the home owner shot the Officer - home owner will not be charge whether the Officer lived or die. The Officer shot the home owner - The Officer will definitely loose his job and go to jail. However the outcome is, the Officers will always be at the loosing end.
Let’s just destroy the one thing we have left on this job..... each other. We are angry and hateful and sadly, we direct it towards each other. Search warrants have been executed at the wrong address long before this happened. Yes, it’s a mistake none of us want to make however, not the end of the world and also done in good faith.
Lordy!
What ever she is doesn't count on this one. Could have just as well been your house with wife and kids in bed with these goofs come cashing in. Comments about your family?
She looks like a ten pin!
"I can't believe I ate the whole thing."
Still, seriously, this has to dumbing down at its best! An embarrASSment.
The next lottery winner and the taxes go up more!
NOT ILLINOIS. NOT LAW.
I'm wondering what would happen if the homeowner were a licensed gun owner and started blasting once the door came down? No knock is bad policy.

Plausible. Somewhat. However, the high priced attorney would say it was a result of:
Overzealous Hair Gel police startling my clients loving mother/sister/granny/wife to death by kicking in her door because the cops were too fucking stupid to hit the right house.
Cardiac arrest exacerbated by tussling with Big Mama until cuffs were on to "secure the occupants" prior to/during the systematic search for contraband IN THE WRONG HOUSE.
12:56 brings up some valid/interesting points. All present on scene had best had their paper "tight".
No sympathy for whatever you morons reap as a result of this fuck up.

do the rest of the city a favor and STAY IN 010 PLEASE
Speak of no experience officers being made srgts. Check the Q for the uuw arrest in 10 on midnights.. the newly made srgt with less then 10 years on aka "'I can't breathe' partner kick him in the head", went to a call of a loud party at a house ALL by himself, showing his troops just how unsafe and dumb he is, just like when he "was being choked out" incident.. well he ups it this time and runs into the crowded house after someone he saw with a gun(ALONE), calls out the guy is running out the back so responding officers end up grabbing him. After the dust settles, Srgt 'i can't breathe' sends a pdt message(which now is recorded and can be retrieved later) to all the cars in 10 asking who wants a uuw arrest.... NOW Look up the arrest in the Q and read the narative. Dumb dumb dumb.. not worth it dumb dumbs.
I’m not a LEO. Addresses are a big peeve of mine. While law enforcement should make very VERY sure of what door they are busting through, there are too many buildings or other places where actual address characters are nowhere in sight. This happens when i am trying to find a house, or in search of a business to patronize, or a job site.
I’d like to see some sort of national campaign that encourages people and businesses to post their address in a clear fashion. It’s a matter of public safety (fire or ambulance), and a matter of safety for innocent people who have their houses damaged, furniture smashed, their kids frightened, their dogs shot, all because “oops, wrong address”.

Did you retire without doing anything?! Before executing a warrant the officer should have conducted surveillance of the house for activity. Not to mention entrances & exits. Cook County had a photo of the address they hit. You said the number was missing from the house, was it missing from the house next door?! If they used a CI or john doe what house did he point out? Sounds like a bunch of idiots rushed into a warrant and fucked up! Can't say I feel sorry for them, new guys know everything! And they want to work so this is what happens
Everybody wants to talk about the fat lady who is getting a lot of attention but guess what...she would not have gotten any if the officers did their jobs the right way and went to the right house. The focus should be how embarrassing this incident is for the police.
This all seems like callous talk to me.
SSC.. Ever since I wanted to be the police I wanted to be “Big Blue” and be 63 Charlie or Eddie. 22 years later reading your blog makes me appreciate I didn’t follow that path. I have many close friends and have worked with great officers from your department. I have great respect what beat officers and detectives do on a daily basis. I know I’m just a suburban cop but wether your fellow officers like it if not your department represents all of us as a whole. I’ll never pretend to think that I have to go through what you guys and gals do on a daily basis but remember you’re not just representing CPD law enforcement you’re representing all of us. Just chucking this incident as oh well the city will pay for the damages and the city will just pay out. The microscope we are under we have to be extra cautious. I’m sure if you post this I’ll get blow back and it’s the personnel why I wouldn’t want to be CPD it’s the politics and lack of cohesion. Fire away !! Be safe bother and sisters
Isn't there a City ordinance where houses are to have numbers legible and visible?
It was a mistake. Not much singing and dancing room on the paper. Like a puppy's training paper, you are going to get your nose pressed into it forced to take whiff.
After your time off and some years you will look back and laugh about. And in this climate if this is the biggest screwup of your career, be thankful.
I don't even know where to began. Both with the story and that picture. So I won't. Merry Christmas to everybody in the CPD. And thank you VERY MUCH for your service.
Maybe the fact that the sweater is to tight on u might have to do with the reason u cant breath!
I have posted about this clown before. He was from the 06 team in 10th District. These guys were all little clowns following even a bigger clown. The affiant of this SW is an asshat. Arrogant as they get. Welcome to the real world 2 year wonder
I see the majority consensus seems to be that these three year wonder tactical superstars done fucked up. And that would be true. Whatever happened to the five year minimum to go to a tactical team after Michael Ceriale was shot and killed? Guess they couldn't find enough Kool-Aid guzzlers so they reverted back to recruiting the young and impressionable idiots who think this shit is like it was in 1990s and prior. You folks need to get your heads out of your asses. Shit like this has the potential to get very very sideways, very very quickly. And all for what? Some bullshit dope? If it was up to me every PO on that warrant would get a minimum of 5 days and the sergeant with nary 2 hash marks on his sleeve would get 10 days to think about it. Thank God no officers or civilians were hurt. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
Stop making excuses for bad police work. Tact is a running joke to everyone but these 3-4 year wonders. This was bad work.
Other then the fat lady, with all the guns in the hands of law abiding folks, I would be worried about a shootout, where the police are shot or an innocent person is shot by the police, executing a warrant on the wrong address. It would be a cluster fuck in the third degree.
To hey it happens, you're an idiot. I've been the affiant on a couple search warrants and I checked the address a few times before execution. No it shouldn't just happens! Do your job the right way, stupid!
This kid makes Rain Man look smart. Wonder kid my ass. He will be fired by his fourth year. Congrats, clown. You made the blog with 3 months on the street. The has to be new record. Next time make because there is gonna a next time do your homework. Tool!

Gee.......I wonder why? Look at the leadership.
I have to agree with big mama. U gotta be dumb AF to be that far off in a SW. who did surveillance??? Get rid of the entire team & every supervisor who went!
Damn, Cuthbert Twillie just tore her ASS up!!! n LMFAO!!!!
Take it easy!!! The kid only has half a brain. He is few fries short of a full happy meal. He is not the sharpest tool in the shed. Oh, you get the point. He is an idiot.
Mel Tillis -- RIP
it is not the 3 year wonders...there are clueless 12 year police impersonators in our district tact team and bitter guys that got booted off gang teams...

To all the bitter assholes on here commenting about the sgt with little time on, you are all the typical jealous losers that are sitting on watch hating while you do nothing besides answer your same calls day after day. Don't want to rock the boat but also lazy dogs. The sgt is smart, and a working cop since the beginning with generations of family that were on the job and still on. So let's support each other, and not play Monday morning quarterback when accidents and shit happens. Don't enough people hate us already, merry Christmas and be safe.

*signed the affiant of the SW(you’re an idiot)
To all you anonymous no balls, making a comment about the sgts size... does that make you feel better. What if that was your kid, or you are all probably fat asses that get out of breath to get a cup of coffee. Comments are like assholes, everyone has one but the biggest ones are. The ones who won't sign their names. The sgt is not merit, just a smart kid who gets what he wants by working hard and being a good kid; always haters out there who are do nothings. Piss off
R. S. Is the epitome of a hair gel. He is what is wrong with the police Dept. His Sgt don't even get me started on that little guy.

It’s what happens when you make sgt with 7 years on, are given a team after a week on the street, and the team consists of 3 year wonders with one veteran brought in to “show them how it’s done.”

Their only mistake, COPA should have been on the execution of the warrant.

Everybody wants to talk about the fat lady who is getting a lot of attention but guess what...she would not have gotten any if the officers did their jobs the right way and went to the right house. The focus should be how embarrassing this incident is for the police.

The focus should be on her thanking these 2 year wonders. They just brought her a golden ghetto lottery ticket. Ho ho ho, Merry Christmas tubby.

Rule #1: Don't Fuck Up.
Ya'll Fucked up. So apologize, figure out what went wrong, and fix it so it doesn't happen again. It should go w/o saying that everyone in that situation is lucky to be alive. Had someone knocked down the door to my house - they'd be facing the barrel of a gun.
12/24/2017 10:34:00 AM
Seriously???? You might be pointing your one gun at 10 officers guns. Do you really thing you win that one? Goof!

Really Big Dummy!!!!! So you assume that all 10 Officers will fit at the door at the same time or moment!!! You are a fucking IDIOT or a MORON. I will pick everyone of you one at a time at the door. I bet you're the Affiant for this stupidity.
Lets not forget that CPD rewards stupidity. This Sgt. will be a Lt., first opportunity and the affiant will be a Sgt..
Doesn't matter if it's section 8 or anything else. They did an awful job, don't make excuses for shitty police work. I'm sure the wonder boy and girls don't view it as bad work but it is. You hit the wrong house, but hey you got to wear your blue jeans.
Those 2 year wonders need to stop flipping every dimebag arrest they bring into the 10th district. Do your fucking homework and investigate the intel before hitting the house.

The career tact officer are the worst. They were never taught the correct way of doing things, refuse to learn the correct way, and have out of control egos.
Stay away from those assholes.

and following Lt MB(hear no evil/see no evil=merit promo) around. The Sgt is an adult and should be referred to as a man, unless he is your lil boy??? Sign your name daddy and everyone will follow suit.
Come on... how does this still happen. This is how people get shot and you can't exactly blame the homeowner.
Embarrassing! Officers should not be allowed on Tact Teams until they’ve reached their 5th year as a Patrol Officer. Sgt’s should not be allowed a Tact Team unless they have 15 years on. Sergeants and above should not be allowed to supervise detectives in the Areas unless they were once a detective. Officers should not be allowed to take promotional examines until their 7th year. Where’s the standards?
These guys obviously didn’t conduct any surveillance. They certainly didn’t drive by the house. They certainly didn’t google a photo of the home. Did they even have a meeting before the search warrant?

Was about to say this is the affiant sticking up for his Sgt. Then I remembered who the affiant was and said, "nah would take him 3 months to read and understand what was written above" Idiot!!!!!!!
I know I’m a little late to this party but shame on all you coppers for trash talking this sgt. and other officers on this tact team. You are supposed to be family, brothers and sisters in blue and this is how you treat each other? What a disgrace! The problem is that most of you are dogs on the watch who have never been the working police. This sgt. Did not make sgt. On merit, he made sgt. And tact because he took the test and did well unlike most of you losers. This sgt. has done countless sw’s In his career, this incident was an accident. When you are the real working police your chances of making a mistake are higher because you are actually doing real police work. So, before you trash talk a fellow officer make sure you do your homework and at least make true statements. Better yet, don’t put each other down at all instead stand by each other, like families are supposed to do.
Give her a kool-aid shirt and have her crash through the wall on all future search warrants. It's a way to connect with kids and make the experience a little more enjoyable for all those involved. You can't stay mad at the kool-aid man (or woman)

Hey dumbass... you apparently missed the memo. Real policework is dead. Being a working copper is nothing more than a liability. Stay fetal and you can avoid most beefs lawsuits injuries et cetera
Meanwhile the drug dealers in the other house ran out the back door in a getaway car.
Now the idiots have to stand in front of her house to make sure she’s safe. Meanwhile the drug dealers down the street are dying of laughter and looking out the window. Joe Doe just might want to skip town.
Settled down to start watching a movie at midnight? Dont know what thats like, everyone here has work or school in the morning.
Dont worry you obese leech, the taxpayer will pay for your door just like everything else in your life,,,you're welcome
Apparently some of you just don't get it. Police work is over. Write your paper and go home. Tact you guys are the last strokes left that simply don't understand the world we live in. Those bosses demanding activity don't care about you.
