Shooting
- A Chicago Police officer shot and seriously wounded a person who pointed a gun at him Monday night in the South Shore neighborhood.
About 9:30 p.m., the officer was sitting in his marked police vehicle after leaving a Family Dollar store, 2346 E. 79th St., when the person walked up and pointed a handgun at him, according to CPD News Affairs Sgt. Al Stinites. The officer then pulled out his own gun and fired a shot that struck the person.
The person was taken to a hospital and listed in serious but stable condition, Stinites said. A handgun was recovered at the scene.
Good job to the involved member. The article doesn't say if the officer was working 99 or with a partner. It would certainly make a difference to someone attempting to kill a lone officer. Be very aware of where you park and who's around. Attacks can occur at any time, anywhere, even after you grab a water or newspaper from a corner store.

Thought the "new" Use of Force says he has to shoot at you first before you can shoot?
All he did was "point" the gun, sort of like pointing a finger. Maybe to point out a smudge on the officer's windshield. Black pointers matter!
He was 99
"Be very aware of where you park and who's around. Attacks can occur at any time, anywhere, even after you grab a water or newspaper from a corner store." Good advice. Situational awareness. Such an attack can happen to anyone, police officer or not. In fact, it happens more often to non-police.
what kind of idiot does this kind of thing? and if you are going to do it, one would think pulling the trigger before the cop gets a chance to do so would be in order. Is this some kind of dumb game they are playing?
Thank God the officer is okay. Quick thinking!!
Nothing good ever happens at a Family Dollar a wise detective once told me!
As shitty as they have become, WGN recognized the 10 year anniversary of Rick Francis' death.
Looks like the very People/Folks Kim Foxxx and Toni Prickwingle have been fighting for finally got the message that they can feel assured those two have their backs and therefore can push the envelope. And yet? It doesn't matter how many of us get hurt or die. Those two will keep on pushing their politics until they are voted out.
Be carful out there. All we got is each other.
I am thankful the Officer was unharmed physically and was able to go home to his/her family.
Now who is the statue next to the News Affairs Sergeant who never says a word, or seems to be alive? Every time there is a major incident he seems to be standing next to a Deputy or the news affairs Sergeant. Is he there for any reason useful reason? Or is he just a decoration for the media? I cannot recall a single incident where he has ever spoken a word or opened his mouth to inhale some oxygen.
Sure would like to know his position with the department.
Glad the Ofc is OK and the J/O got shot... Who cares what the J/O's intention was, whether the gun was real or not - point something that looks like a gun, or pull some other weapon on a cop and you can expect to get shot.
It's reallllllly easy to avoid getting shot too - read the above to see what will get ya shot and don't do that.
Officer was 99. Watch your six. This was an ambush
He was 99. The kid was sitting on the curb across the lot waiting wearing black gloves. Copper comes out, as he enters vehicle kid runs at him with gun up. Copper gets shot off. Kids gun unloaded. Security cameras and witnesses back the story.
uh, it's called self defense
Great job going home with no extra holes, to bad the pos with the gun was not given a well deserved "dirt nap" which would cure this thug permanently and save taxpayers future incarceration and medical costs!
The eddie say:
I can't tell you all what this young man was thinking, but his actions were clearly extremely dangerous. This offender is a juvenile, so I'm not at liberty to discuss his criminal history, but I can tell you all that he has one and it gives me, as superintendent of police, cause for concern. We, as a city and as a society, need to do better in supporting our young people, so they are not led down a path like this one," Johnson said.
Ahh Edward "cause for concern" yet again supporting young people come on moron how about saying "support the police!" WTF please stop talking your pathetic,now lets talk about your wife and cheating scandal you covered up now that is change we can believe in!
Another beating on 800 s Michigan in broad daylight by predators while Sophia “I’m friends with the Obamas “ king and Rahm’s and Burke’s clout boy Pigott take police from taxpaying communities to Give more cops to the community where they are hated anyway to insure his reelection. They all have to go. Start carrying all the time and kill these animals. Where is father faker and Jesse? Too busy looking for more cash I guess. And I’m sure Rahm is giving them tons of his extorted campaign funds.
The Cook County States Activist Office affirmative defense.
He crazy.
He ain’t had no gun.
Rahm’s el’Coprah soliciting for witnesses.
Thankful the officer ok.
What balls this kid has. Or I should say, what a shit for brains asshole. Play a stupid game, win a stupid prize. Sorry for the 30 days on the desk, but then again with the temps as they are and the community as a whole it might feel like a vacation. Probably safer inside too.
Sure would like to know his position with the department.

You never seen a sniffer before?
Yeah, there to alert the big dog that the big dog cut a wet fart.
Big dog can't pay attention to everything while on the air......
"Grab a newspaper"???? Haven't done that in years, SCC. Who does that?
OT: And then you have 015 Cmdr Ernest Cato Merit x III, who despite having every 2nd watch Sgt and then some working the holiday OT, ordered the days Lt to put out 8 10-99 Sgt's instead of a couple 10-4 Sgt cars. Brilliant!!! For a place that gets by regularly with 1 or 2 street Sgt's, lemme lead ya Ernie wants them out there by themselves for the 4th of July holiday! Here is a guy only concerned about his next bump up instead of the well being of his "troops". But none of this matters as long as his office girls have their designated parking spots. Hey Ernie, lemme get some presence on deez.......
Not a cop but hoping the officer is cleared. It would piss me off if this comes back as well the kid did not fire at you bullshit. Fuck that. You draw down on a cop, your life is forfeit. End of story.
Thank you St. Michael & St. Jude for watching over the officer.
He works 99 all the time... Old school and proved he still has it! Great Job L.T

He can’t get in a word edgewise because the $150,000 spokesperson Robin Robinson is speaking. You have seen our spokeswoman haven’t you

Do you think Special Ed would keep a blue shirt on the job if they did what he did??? More questions than answers as he says.
Dan Ryan Flu is coming

““If they say doing this will pull officers from the most needed neighborhoods in the city of Chicago then pull them from the North Side,” Pfleger said, at a news conference Tuesday.”
Hey father faker, go Phuck yourself. The archdiocese can Phuck itself too for not defrocking a shithead like this asshole.
He was a good boy, getting his life together, looking for a job then planned to apply for Medical School at Northwestern. Etc...
Where are you getting this "he has to shoot at you first". If someone points a gun at you, you can fire. The use of force has not changed.
Quote from ole Ed's mouth on tonights
9PM Fox 32 news just mins ago...
"The fact of it is you know I dont as a
police superintendent and as more
importantly as a black man who grew up in
this city we dont want to needlessly arrest
young folks..we just don't want to do that"
Bazaam he said it, we did not.
Have a happy and SAFE 4th officers.

You're a sergeant on days. You knew you'd be working 99 when you accepted the promotion. And you have 8 sergeants on your watch compared to the 4 or 5 some other districts are forced to get by with. And your sergeants are being given an opportunity for easy overtime pay. Unless you're answering jobs by yourself, you don't need a partner. Stay in the station or go hide in a park if you're afraid. Fucking crybaby.
What the news didn't tell ya was a detective going to the scene almost got killed by a drunk driver who blew the light at 99 and Halsted.
OT...
If your 55 yoa and have 20+ yrs & your staying around because of whatever stupid reason, well you are stupid!
Retire before its too late. Enjoy your life, most of you guys need a hobby other than chasing men/women & money!!

As of May ??possibly. Politically conservative Sinclair owns it (will own it) but may sell it to some Maryland auto dealer to skirt ownership requirements..as reported by the non-owned paper tribune...which made a snide anti conservative comment.... http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-biz-sinclair-sale-wgn-tv-tribune-20180226-story.html
This incident could have wound up VERY differently and could have had another officer down..
I am very glad this officer was fully aware of his surroundings and had the upper hand.
Say a prayer for him and hope "the next guy" is just as fortunate.

Great job Officer, good shoot by any standard . Now let the taxpayers pick up the bill to put the pos back together so he can try again.
Yesterday, NYPD's twitter feed congratulated about 748 police officers who graduated from their academy. A couple of hours later they welcomed 498 new recruits to the academy. I'll bet n one is working 99 there.

It's called playing the ghetto lottery.
Approach cop with unloaded gun, cop shoots you. If lucky, you are only wounded and you get to partake in the millions that the city gives you and your family. If you die, well bummer, but your family gets even more millions and gets to hold a great gangsta funeral for you to Mt Hope.

Hey burb cop,
I'll tell you what I told a colleague who corrected my speech. He told me to use proper English when I speak. I informed him we do not speak or write in proper English and as a result I'd "axe" and "finna" all I want. Furthermore I went on to tell him I've read his case reports, as well as others, and pointed out his high use of profanity and unintentionally poor grammar. In the end he could do no nothing but laugh because I have more formal education and a better command of the English language, both written and spoken, and my vocabulary is larger. When I'm on a job or speaking in formal settings I perform as so. When I'm not I don't. Don't be a fool. I hear tons of slang and broken English everyday from my colleagues who would never say "finna." By the way I'm from the burbs too.

I'm not CPD, but retired ISP and grew up on the south side. "Fina" is a form of "fitting to" or "going to" do something. As in, "I'm fina go to the liquor store and gets me a 40 ounce."

The job is to enforce the law, by doing things like arresting criminals who break the law. A bunch of racists marching onto an expressway to block traffic over imagined wrongs should be arrested. If we were allowed to do our job, they wouldn't make it to the expressway.

Wrong. This was not a suicide by cop. This was an attempted assassination of a Chicago Police Officer. The dirt bag was wearing surgical gloves.

You are kidding, right? He had an empty gun. What was he going to do, kill him with the surgical gloves?

1. How do you know that he knew his gun was empty, aka, unloaded, aka, berift of all cartridges, aka, rounds, aka, bullets loaded into shell casings containg both a gun powder charge and a functional primer cap?
2. How do you know that the lad was not rolling the dice, intending to hit the ghettoe lottery, and relying upon his chances being sufficiently less risky, than were he to pull this shit on a common citizen? Or an off duty, but known to be, police officer?
3. Fuck off with your obession to be right.
All that was said was the gun was empty. The original comment was it was an attempted assassination. Most assassins come armed with a loaded gun. Improves their chances of succeeding
All the things mentioned might be the case including suicide by cop

And, thus, the wisdom of not giving a fuck is proven, once again, to be so very wise.
The conceits are always so sneaky in their slipping into the mind, sowing their seeds of needing to know, to be the one who knows, to mock those who don't know, etc., that even when a convo seems rational, it slides so subtly into petty that only those not immersed within it can see the absurdities as they blossom.
Now, will somone please get these fellows each a Tootsie Roll All Day Sucker?
I won't, as I'm a cheap bastard.
