Great Job Kid
- Timothy Sweeney and his wife had just stopped to pick up a blueberry pie for his grandma when he saw a man lying nearby in the middle of the street.
It was only when Sweeney reached the man on that West Town street June 30 that he realized how grave the situation was: An artery had been cut, and a shinbone poked through the skin.
The 28-year-old police recruit had just recently learned how to apply a tourniquet, he explained to reporters Friday at the Chicago Police Academy. But he was off duty at the time and didn’t have the kit with him, he said.
“One gentleman gave me his belt,” Sweeney explained. “I applied the belt and got it as tight as I could.”
He did have some previous paramedic training, so he was a little more prepared than the many recruits (and many veteran cops), but still, calm and collected under the pressure of someone bleeding out in seconds is something most of us don't see every day.
An excellent job by the soon-to-be Police Officer

Nice job, office!
Calm and collected are skills that cannot be taught.
Great Job!
blue berry pie!
Great Job
Great job! but I would like to hear more details about that blueberry pie. I think the author of that article didn't elaborate enough on that pie. Yeah we do save lives sometimes but that part of the story about the blueberry pie could've gone somewhere!
Lori Lightfoot really appreciates this. She really does.
I love this kid! Great job.
Just so you know... Lightfoot is the name of a stupid dinosaur from some video game.

Outstanding job!
And even seemed very squared away, and professional yet personable in his news interviews.
Thank you for showing the city the true face of the Chicago Police Department brother!
Good job Sweeney! The LEMART class is really good.
Kudos to the soon-to-be Officer Sweeney for a job well done!
It’s been many years since the First Aid training I had as a Scout. As a CCL-holder, I thought it time to brush-up on the important stuff. So just last weekend I completed the four-hour TECC Training class presented at a local gun range. It’s the civilian version of the Tactical Combat Casualty Care training all military personnel now receive. More on it can be found here: http://www.c-tecc.org/.
It's essentially front-line trauma care for hot/warm zones and focused on addressing "PMARCH" issues:
• Patient/Provider Safety
• Massive Hemorrhaging
• Airway
• Respiration
• Circulation
• Hypothermia
The training is intended to equip you to save yourself or others at risk of death from (a) bleeding out; (b) tension pneumothorax -- i.e., air entering the chest cavity and collapsing the lungs; and (c) airway problems. The training is focused on stopping massive hemorrhaging within the four-minute window that begins at onset of injury, and re-establishing respiration within the eight-minute window. Among many other topics, it covers:
• Patient positioning so you, the care provider, can maintain awareness/sight of/defense against continuing threats – whether it’s at the scene of a MVA or active shooter.
• Proper placement of tourniquets.
• Proper wound-packing techniques (it's different than you think).
• Raking and sweeping techniques to locate wounds on front, sides, and back.
• Proper application and maintenance (i.e. "burping") of a chest seal.
• What equipment to include in your different First Aid kits for car/home/workplace/range bag/travel, and different carry methods. (One of the recommendations was to keep your car/home/workplace kits in fanny packs. In the event of an emergency, you can clip it on, have it with you as you move through the scene, and keep your hands free whether for administering care, moving a patient, returning fire against a threat, etc.
The cost was $125 and well worth it.
Stay safe everyone. And thanks to all you LEOs (& your families) for everything you do.
The officer was immediately stripped as Fat Ed had more questions than answers
WOW!!!!!
So, are their phone videos of this on Farcebook?
Fools with phones love to film stuff.
Great job. I put together a kit for my personal vehicle as well.
Getting grandma a blueberry pie, this place is getting more like Mayberry everyday. Nice job kid.
I hope no one stole his blueberry pie.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Great job Officer, now try like hell to get on the fire department where you’ll be much more respected & not have to put with the shitshow the CPD has become!
Can graduations great job finally some positive media coverage but then we have this in another state I know why coppers even patronize this piece of shit coffee shop that proved time and time again they do not like the police is beyond reason;
Starbucks shop boots police officers because customer ‘did not feel safe’ around them: reports
https://www.foxnews.com/food-drink/starbucks-shop-boots-police-officers-because-customer-did-not-feel-safe-reports
*Some police officers in Tempe, Ariz., say they were asked to leave a Starbucks coffee shop on the Fourth of July because a customer complained they “did not feel safe” with the cops present, according to reports.
Five officers were drinking coffee at the Starbucks location prior to their shift beginning when a barista asked them to move out of the complaining customer’s line of sight or else leave, the Tempe Officers Association wrote in a series of Twitter messages.
Rob Ferraro, president of the police union, told FOX 10 of Phoenix that such treatment of police officers seems to be happening more often these days.
OT. THIS JUDGE IS A PIECE OF SHIT

Very well done young officer, you were very professional you looked professional during the news conference God bless you thank you for giving us positive media finally. How is that blueberry pie by the way? You seem like a great choice for the position of police officer you do us proud from our old retired copper.
Great Job by the young Policeman!
And for all you joyful haters?
More typical of The Chicago Policeman
than you would ever believe...
Good job, Brother
Timothy Sweeney and his wife had just stopped to pick up a blueberry pie for his grandma when he saw a man lying nearby in the middle of the street.
Rumor has it someone stole the very blueberry pie they had purchased, only in Chicago...
OT: cops were kicked out of Starbucks in AZ because a customer didn’t feel safe with them in there. Boycott Starbucks!
Sounds like another one with the calling! Bravo young man!
"Chicago's Finest..."
There ya go.
(Great job sir!)
OT, Starbucks in Tempe Arizona kicked out five police officers because a Citizen said they felt unsafe with them and they’re all Chicago policeman should boycott Starbucks . Read the story on the Fox News App.
Cool, calm, collective.
All in a days work, ay.
That Sweeney kid, he’s a fine boy.
Hope he goes far.
Now tell me more about the blueberry pie.
"...Sweeney, who was a part-time paramedic-firefighter with the Chicago Fire Department ..."....
Part-time paramedic-firefighter with CFD---really? We have part time firefighters?
Just learned to apply a tourniquet in the dark-because thats how our academy wants them trained---the police academy? Really?
Job well done-stopping was the right thing to do.
But am shaking my head over a paramedic who never learned tourniquets until he enter the police academy.
>>>> Sweeney said his training, not nerves, took over. ... “We train doing it in the dark,” Sweeney said. “You could do it with your eyes closed; that’s what [the academy wants] of their students.” <<<<
Excellent job soon-to-be Chicago Police Officer, Timothy Sweeney. Your quick thinking saved this man's life. And hopefully, his leg.
ps: Apparently the training at the Academy isn't as bad -- or non-existent -- as some would like you to believe. Like the perpetually aggrieved people (and folk) in 'the community', and the morons in the Obama Dept of Just-Us, Uncivil Rights Division.
pps: To S-T reporter Stefano Esposito -- Now you have to do a follow-up article on the blueberry pie. You can't leave readers hanging in suspense after the way you teased us with the numerous mentions of the pie.
Good! (thanks for the reporting from down south too)
Lightfoot would have done a better job!
Great job kid!

Would love to hear feedback on others who have received similar letters/checks
Naturally, I'll be phoning the Department of Finance myself, but would still be interested in others experiences with pittance sums such as mine.
Well done officer!
Great job. Times said he was a part-time paramedic-firefighter with the Chicago Fire Department before entering the academy. What is a part-time paramedic-firefighter with the Chicago Fire -Department?
Great job by what seems to be a really decent young man. I’m honestly surprised though the media reported on it because he isn’t a member of the permanent victim class. And why doesn’t every cop have that kit? We have money for progressive shitbags but not for the police. Fucking sickening. Free lunch, free money to clean up lots. No money for cops. Only for gang bangers by a failed mayor who has made it perfectly clear white people are not considered important at all.
Great job Officer Sweeney, you did what is supposed to be done.
https://www.foxnews.com/food-drink/starbucks-shop-boots-police-officers-because-customer-did-not-feel-safe-reports
Very nice job.
Although I haven’t taken the Lemart course I’ve heard very positive feedback from anyone who has.
Great job OffiSweeney
Nice job office!! Showing what Chicago Police Officers do all day, every day.
WTG
Pat yourself on the back. You deserve it.

** if you were an actually paying customer, then I would have said fuck them..im a customer. I thought starbucks went thru sensitivity training.
Great Job! I guess this kid is part of the "CHANGE" that this department was trying to recruit.
Excellent job kid.
Thank you Timothy Sweeney. Good job from a good man.
Signed, Chicago resident

Sounds like he was a Paramedic-Firefighter that didn't work full time for the Chicago Fire Department.
Not to take anything out of the great job this young man did, but we're being attacked on every front. SCC you should put up a thread that calls for a national if not international boycott of Starbucks by all law enforcement officers and or service men and ladies. We don't need an organization that spouses inclusivity but at a the complaint of a whimp, they throw us out, and treat veterans and LEO's as non-paying customers, the officers should sue for violation of civil rights. Fuck Starbucks, they can keep their shit coffee. We need to stick together on this one, a statement needs to be made, otherwise we may as well bend the knee. Fuck Starbucks. F/S.
(OT) This is to much prayers for the family another law enforcement brother died to soon:

This epidemic must stop please anyone tell us how to stop this? Why are so many doing this? God help all of us in law enforcement please offer prayers we need that!

Got one too $46.00. Have no fucking idea.
What happened in Tempe AZ Starbucks should be a clear indication to PO’s across the US that they are not appreciated. I can’t believe that an employee asks police officers to leave instead of advising the libtard leftist that they have the right to be there. How do you ever have the balls to call the police after that if you need them. What a horrible judgement. The patron that felt uncomfortable with the police there should have left himself. It will be cold day in hell before I go to Starbucks again. What a disgraceful shame.
i recieved a check from finance this week for 19.xx for medical refund. no explanation. im not cpd i am in the municipal pension fund. i have not had city insurance since rahm cancelled it in 2014 i think. sorry but i have such little trust in the city i immediatly suspect some sort of trick lol. any of you detectives have a clue what this is about? have a great weekend............except you rahm.

Wow... $1000 bail for spitting blood in an officer's mouth. Nice city with great county judges you have there L. Lightfoot!
Want to stick it to Starbucks?
Do something better than a boycott. Go into a neighborhood Starbucks and buy a number of gift cards with $5 each on them. Preferably with cash. And distribute them to the local unfortunates. The stinkier the better.
Let them enjoy a good cup of coffee. Let the baristas enjoy their aroma.
Good man himself !!!!!
Blue berry pie? Strawberry rhubarb is way better.
AMOUNT: $16.42

Well I got $39.40 !! I then went out and got that new Lexus that I have wanted since retiring.
Rahm you are da man!!!

Terrible thing to do to the officers and they should boycott the place. That being said, it should be done on an individual store basis. I don’t go to Starbucks but there might be some owners who support the police
Good job kid. You saved your first life, good for you.
To be able to save a persons life who would have died had you not stepped up, well, that is special and something to be very proud of. Great work.
