Isn't It Ironic?
So the protestors were getting ready for a third night of protesting the police stopping and shooting a feloniously armed individual around 71st and Chappel. You'll never guess what happened:
- Police are responding to shooting in Chicago’s South Shore neighborhood.
The incident happened near 71st and Chappel around 5:30 p.m. Monday, about one block away from where a fatal police-involved shooting happened over the weekend.
Police say a man was shot, possibly hit in the leg. It is unclear what happened or if anyone is in custody at this time.
There is no reason to believe the incident is related to the shooting over the weekend.
Sure there's not. A shooting, just two or three blocks from where there was just a shooting.Can't be related at all. Maybe they can have a two-for-one protest march?

Imagine what would happen if the news camera's and Police just left?
Let’s not protest all of the black-on-black daily/weekly shootings that occur in your own neighborhood.
Oh-guess the magic solution to stop all these shootings are to pour more resources into the community...
SCC, you have to admit for years prior to body cams and cell videos the public had to rely on only one side of the police involved shootings. Many of them were questionable, get pissed if you want but they were. In this situation, no one knew of the body cam period. Once released, most of the comments are toned down. Me for one, would like to hear the audio though. But in this situation this man was not a parolee, nor was he wanted on warrants. We will never know why he reached and that turned out to be his demise.
Is the crystal ball still working?
listened to the morons on wvon. had to turn it off after a half hour of nonsense. the cops have been tried and convicted by the community.
this is the outlet that has the community wound up. if wind/wls/wgm used that kind of rhetoric the demand would include the dismantling of the transmitter tower. i was not aware what an asshole charles thomas is.
Shot in the leg? A message from the gang was sent. Perhaps, to someone who didn't call out the (slow moving foot patrol) police presence in the area?
Best at head Ed and Jerkin Jesse could quell this nonsense in a hot minute . Just tell the "community" to stop point guns at the Police ............ WOW How hard would that be ?????

But we must remember there is no money to be made from lawsuits when one ghettoite shoots or kills another, all of rahmas campaign contributors know this fact...
It’s not the lawlessness or the uncontrollable crime in the community that’s at issue, Rahm Democrats consider that to be part of culture, but blaming police is a better optic politically.
Tolerant and welcoming Rahm...he’s nowhere to be found.
Send in the clown.
Every assignment needs a 30 minute cooling off response time, no blue light specials are necessary.
Save the planet.
Decrease fossil fuel use.
Stay Fetal.
No no, you don't understand. It's ok if we shoot, kill, Rob and rape each other.
They are so very entertaining, aren't they?
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Where is Rahm? Still on vacation? How about the city your tasked with running?
Just curious.
NASA: "We have over 10 million images from various satellites showing that the Earth is round."
Protesters: "Where's the audio?"
There's a huuge disconnect from reality in the hood. Barry O is largely responsible. It doesn't help that multi million dollar payouts in these cases is the new reality. The famblies of the Gentle aGiant and Trayvone Martin even got paid. Disgustingto say the least.
The 'community' is now calling for the name of the officer who shot the armed resister be released. No protests planned by pfather pfaker against the thugs who continue to rob and gun down one another and innocents with impunity. Let's see how far Ed and Rahm are willing to go to appease these jobless cretins. Pray for the police, they need it as the hits come fast and furious.
These liberals are unbelievable. I really belive that liberalism is a mental illness. I mean where are all of these protests when it comes to black on black violence?
I’m sure no march there. They only march against police. When they march against police Rahm gives out favors It’s all politically motivated and we are always hanging out to dry. Fucking Rahm and Ed are to blame.
Remember Commander Bauer!
He NEVER got the chance to shoot his attacker!
This is an excellent shoot!
Screw these animals!
Dumb & Dumber.
When does the “community” “ reform” start??
When will the biased, agenda driven politicians and media start addressing the insidious issue of black on black crime in “the community”?
Clearly that is the problem but the biased, agenda driven politicians, media, Mikey Pfaker etc. never want to admit, nor address, this.
I’m sure the sun times sent out a slew of reporters to cover it too . Right? Oh wait police didn’t shoot anyone so they don’t care
it would be better if they were related. If they are totally unrelated then this is just a lawless community
Can’t we all just get along.
The media said the GUN was legal...
But forget to tell all the TWITTERs that carrying it in your waistband is illegal
Walking into the barbershop with the gun is illegal
reaching for it while the police try and TALK to you is well illegal and stupid.
I really hope all the street officer see how quickly Special ED and his band of clouted stumble about while you are stripped, drug tested, and all you past arrest on video are reviewed.
Thats right your past videos are reviewed by a special person at IAD. See the mayor wants you gone its good for votes in the coming election. So if you have video of you flipping a coin to determine an arrest or use that naughty language after an asshat spits on you beware.
The FOP LODGE did say they were working on language to prevent the City from digging up old videos and sandbagging officers.
stay safe...
Don't worry. Mary Mitchell is on it!

sorry to say but youse guys (CPD) will never will win with this insanity
just do only what you HAVE to do and come home to your friends and family
BACK THE BLUE
Bangers know , this is the time to wipe out your drug competition, no one will be responding , to busy dealing with protestors .
Time to take over more corners , only the most violent will survive .
OFF TOPIC:
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/07/17/chicago-could-soon-test-universal-basic-income-program.html
The city has 36 alderman who think 500$ a month to 1000 unknown persons is a great idea.
So where does one signs up to be a lucky person to get 500 a month for NO reason?
Keep in Mind RAHM does not want to give policemen insurance.
Or Retiree health care is cut and the City does not blink.
I have not even mention a raise that keep up with the cost of living in Chicago.
I would love to see the City give all the retirees this bonus money for the time they served. So FOP make the call i know a few old officer living in below average conditions who retired.
Thank god for the bodycam, it’s a new world and this will be our only saving grace. Our word doesn’t mean squat and the word of a sex offender or multiple convicted felon is better than ours, just look at Baltimore, Ferguson, anyplace where the far left rules. They even post their own crimes most of the time.
Two for one protest...LMBO.
I thought a woman was shot, also, but hey, there are so many shootings in the hood it's hard to keep up.
Ironic, indeed. 'Protesters disturbing the peace, and BOOM, another shooting. But, someone will spew, it's the PO-leece fault. Or President Trump is to blame.
Really?
What can you say?
Where is little Nadar Issa on this one?
Where is old Mary Mitchell?
Where is the Sun-Times?
See, this just shows that the POLICE should have shot Augustus in the leg.
And please, take it easy on the 003 District Commander and the comments on her hair. After all, her Barber just died.
If Obama had a barber...
Using words like “ironic” will just go ober morning st heads in the “community.”
Ed couldn’t come up with a strategy to stop all the shooting if his life depended on it. Rahm uses all the shooting to keep us divided and stay in political office. As Police all we can do is just try to treat it as a job. Try to disconnect yourself from caring. I finally reached that point. Who cares.
When I saw this i was laughing so hard I was crying. The fine residents of 71/Jeffrey area never let me down.

Xxxx,
What in the holy hell are you talking about??
A few months back, the Chicago Police Department lost one of the greatest leaders in recent time....in the heart of downtown, in the middle of the afternoon....to a piece of garbage walking the streets with a loaded weapon and a magazine, who refused to comply with police officers’ lawful orders. Shomari Legghette lived. One of the best Chicago had to offer did not.
‘But fatally shooting someone, surrounded by police officers, on a busy street because that person appears to be reaching for a weapon seems excessive.’ ‘Reaching for a weapon’, Xxxx. Not a cell phone, not a wallet, not a bible...a loaded semi automatic pistol, with a loaded magazine within reach, being unlawfully carried by the offender. What in that situation do you propose the Police do? ‘Sir, please don’t shoot me?’
Policework is not always pretty. But the body cams show it all. You can’t have your cake and eat it too and say you want guns off the street, you want the police stopping the right people, you want the department to be transparent, you want tougher laws on guns... All of that happened. And maybe the actions of the police saved lives from a bullet of offender’s weapon killing any of those officers, or an innocent civilian in any of those stores.
Maybe what we need to promote instead of this nonsensical anti police rhetoric is to stop thinking it is ok to carry guns whenever and wherever you damn well please and how to act when the police approach you.
This has to stop, Xxxx. The media is out of control, fueling a false narrative and it is responsible for ruining any chance of repairing the Police-Community relations in Chicago.
Eagerly awaiting your response,

The operative word here is "fatally." Police officers aren't judges or executioners. I didn't see Augustus pointing a gun at anyone--police or citizen. I don't know what happened in the run-up to Augustus breaking away from police officers, but nothing in this man's background says he deserved to be shot down in the street like a dog.
What happened to shooting to maime?
Carrying a gun without a license shouldn't be a killing offense. And unlike the situation you cited, Augustus wasn't wrestling or fighting with police officers. He was trying to run away.
nope it aint look at the surroundings and attitudes there
Police Officers are responsible for enforcing all State and Local Laws and upholding the U.S. and Illinois Constitutions.
Get guns off the street.....you're the bad guy.
People get shot....the folks don't really seem to care.
Go figure.

Oh so you personally know there was misconduct on “many” of the past police shootings, yet seemed to never report it until now on this blog. How convenient. How many shootings did you act as the lead investigator? Probably zero. Was your “investigation” reading about them in the sun times or the trib? GFY.
But in this situation this man was not a parolee, nor was he wanted on warrants. We will never know why he reached and that turned out to be his demise.
7/17/2018 06:23:00 AM
You don’t have to be a parolee or have warrants to be an asshole
The mayor refused to give his opinion in regards the video, goes to show how he doesn’t back the police even if they are justify.
I think you picked the wrong tag, SCC...this is nothing if not believable.

To enumerate just the numerous dumb contained in your emailed reply, would vex left nut, and I know better, these days, than to vex my left nut, so, no enumerations for you.
What I can tell you is this: Do Not Ever Do What the Barber Did.
See, I wish you no harm.
There is no need for any to wish you harm.
You have got that all covered by being Dumb.
Just put the blinders on and let natural selection run its course.

Shithead pulls a gun and tries to kill Police Officers. Caught on Police cameras. No ambiguity. And Tiny Dancer says he will withhold judgement on whether the Officer was justified or not. I never thought I would say this but in a runoff with Lori Lightfoot I will vote for Lightfoot even though I can't stand the Bitch. To Hell with Rahm.
We all appreciate the police on the "non-gentrified" northwest side of Chicago! You know. The blue collar, middle class areas still left. Feel free to abandon the south side (Bridgeport sold out) and Lakeview, Wicker Park, Lincoln Park, Ravenswood, Lincoln Square, Logan Square, etc. Those are the gentrified neighborhoods that the mainstream media all live in! The same media that at every turn berate the CPD yet live in the whitest, wealthiest, trendiest neighborhoods! Come protect Dunning! We love the police!
Forget the wall by Mexico, build one around Englewood and Garfield Park. Build the wall, come back in a few weeks and the 10 or 15 People or Folks still alive get to keep it.
The Mayor was on TV like he cares. Well when and if we all make to retirement our health care is shit thanks to Rahm.

Had he simply complied with lawful direction from a uniformed police officer he would still be alive and probably out right now looking to buy another gun off the street, which is exactly what he did when previously arrested for illegally carrying and using a handgun, but he chose poorly. Further, it is apparent he was trying to grasp the handgun in his possession as he fled, even as he almost ran into the side of an arriving police car. If the police officers allowed an armed offender to flee unfettered, the police officers would have been remiss in their unequivocal duty to protect the public and other responding police officers from his possible use of the handgun in his possession. Police officers are not mind readers and he forfeited any benefit of the doubt by his actions. He, alone, hiked the situation up to the level where the use of lawful deadly force was needed and justified. He, alone, was the architect of his demise.

Why get involved let them sort out their own problems and show up to haul bodies away and file a report. Who cares what the community does to each other.
Here is a plan. Start by enforcing all curfew laws citywide no exceptions. Park CPD cars on all known drug corners. All two man cars, three if necessary. Stop any group of more than three in all neighborhoods. Slow follow and video any suspicious group for ID later if crimes committed. High resolution cameras at all CTA El stops. Change the bar closing hours to 12am period no late license.

Stop saying her name out loud! You already said it twice. A third time and that rotten, police-hating, no-good bitch gets election super-powers! So stop it!
Andrew Holmes is a good man and today he endorsed GMAC. That's good enough for me! GMAC is our only chance.
Augustus was on his way to shoot somebody before the police stepped in and said, "Nah."
This City is a joke, the Tribune and Sun-Times along with all the other media is a farce. You want to protest about the system, go to City Hall... Want to clean up your streets of the everyday shootings, let the police do their work.
You say Ironic
And I say Iconic
You think they're Foolish
And I think they're Ghoulish
Ironic... Iconic...
Foolish.... and Ghoulish....
Let's just agree to say: Fuck 'Em.
Okie Dokie?
" Shoot to maim?????
There is a reason that it is called " Deadly Force " not " Maiming Force "
First: For ANYONE to shoot to maim someone is blatantly criminal, and amoral.
Second: Officers are trained to fire their weapons to neutralize a threat.
In an effort to protect the General Public, their fellow officers and themselves
from receiving grievous bodily harm, and the loss, or further Loss Of Life
To meet a Threat with an equal, if not Superior Force in an effort to defeat said
Threat with the knowledge that said force may result in Great Bodily Harm or
death.
I can honestly say that thirty years on patrol I DO NOT, NOR HAVE I EVER known an
officer who goes to work hoping that today is the day I get to shoot someone.
If I had, I would have reported them to my superior, and failing that, to his
superior as well. I am not so naive as to believe that there are not individuals
among us that have that mindset, but not all of them are police officers.
There is no "Trick Shooting " course taught at the Chicago Police Academy, and just so it is known: Bullets do not always travel in a straight line upon contact with their intended target. You can be shot in the left shoulder, and the bullet can deflect off of bone and exit out of your lower right side. What happens if you are attempting to" Maim " the offender the bullet passes through them, and kills an innocent bystander?
In this current Judicial Climate, all Mr. Augustus had to do was comply, let the officers confiscate his weapon ( that he legally owned ( BUT was illegally carrying ), take him to jail, post bond in a few hours ( again in this Judicial Climate he would have probably gotten an I-Bond ), gone to court paid a fine, and still be here among us.
Now a child is without a father, and an officer has to bear the burden of having taken a life. When do Mr. Augustus actions become a factor in this equation.
Regardless of how nice he was, he made a CHOICE to illegally carry a concealed weapon.
Meanwhile disruptive persons, FROM OUTSIDE OF THE COMMUNITY, come into South Shore
attempting to incite exacerbate and exploit an already volatile situation.
( Why did the evening news show a white woman, stating that ( I paraphrase ) " We are tired of being gunned down out here." " WE"??? Where does she live??
I hope that the citizens of South Shore do not succumb to their attempted manipulations.
and allow the facts to come to light and proceed accordingly within the law
