For God's Sake, Slow Down
A few posts down, we apologized (again) to 011 for jinxing them over homicide numbers.
This however, is inexcusable:
This however, is inexcusable:
- Two Chicago police officers and two paramedics were hurt when a police cruiser slammed into an ambulance Saturday night as authorities were responding to a shooting that left three teenagers wounded at a party in Homan Square.
By order and training, you are supposed to clear intersections before going through them - even with a green light, because some other emergency vehicle might be approaching. Like an ambulance heading to your shooting:
(photo via sun times)
So now the shooting scene is short an ambulance AND four more ambulances have to be pulled from everywhere else for two injured cops and two paramedics, not to mention the District is now stretched to the breaking point covering a shooting and accident scene.
This is dumb. And what's even dumber is we're told that 011 leads the city in preventable crashes that result in totaled squad cars - eighteen already this year. Now you're upgrading to ambulances? Have you guys and girls not seen exactly what is happening to cops at IAD, COPA, the Police Board, in Court? Thank god there wasn't a patient in the ambulance.
Slow the Hell down. Groot will have you walking....and winter is coming. And get well soon.

zero sympathy. at this point, it is completely on you if bad things happen while you're being a fucking idiot. everyone has been told better. enjoy unemployment to the driver of that squad, especially when the deceased from the shooting files the lawsuit for a lack of prompt response due to an officer not following directives
Exactly the reason I prefer not to work with hard chargers. Not only will they get themselves injured or killed but also me and innocent civilians or bystanders. Responding to a “community member” just shot call. No thanks.
You just know the family of the DOA is going to sue the Dept. because the ambulance didn’t get there quick enough. No matter that the victim was shot in the head and chest.
I would like to offer advice to the Officers but history has taught me that you cant give advice to pretty much anyone that works in 011 or 025.They know everything already so just make sure you stay out of their paths because they will not slow down.Years ago they stopped sending new cars to 025 because of all the cars that they totaled.
Pod camera caught the whole incident and no they did not have a red light, THEY HAD NO LIGHT AT ALL. They were going down one way, wrong way. F**k is wrong with you guys, slow down. Then again it's 011 what else do you expect from them.
In all fairness, we have our orders I agree, but the ambulance can look for lights and sirens as well. Another blatant issue with 011, especially first watch is the increasingly high number of officers fresh off their status and lack of leadership. I realize we’re police and can argue this 6 ways to Sunday but nothing I’ve said is illegitimate. I know personally I’m cautious as it gets, I don’t quite understand blindly flying through intersections but I understand how it happens. Any word on who had green?
11 is full of cowboys. They never learn.
I thought the ambo had one of the shooting victims in it?
These two officers should be disciplined hard , this is completely inexcusable . 011 is filled with idiots flying lights a sirens to stupid shit . As mentioned, leads the city in crashes . I hope the ambo crew sues the shit out of the department and the officers personally . Flying the wrong way down the street and completely blowing the solid red , all that for a basic shots fired.
They didn’t have the green , the had a solid red , only they wouldn’t have know because they were going the wrong way down the street to top it off .
Going west on Harrison wrong way too
I’ll never comprehend these asshole coppers that just have to drive at least twice the posted speed limit all shift long. And then even faster responding to foot chases for dope or other nonsensical bullshit. Or rolling through red lights when NOT even responding to a job. I’ll bet 99% of the kids on the job today never heard the term “patrol speeds”.
These clowns regularly put a lot of people at risk responding to ghetto shit. Who cares if some ghetto rat is shot or killed? Absolutely NO reason to be doing anything over the limit for savages that reportedly stood around and laughed at the crash site, hoping the coppers were injured.
Unless it’s a 10–1, urgent assist, or directly involves your family, friends or loved ones, there’s no need to put your foot into it. The sooner you get this through your goddamn thick skulls, the better. I don’t want to walk with a limp, be confined to a wheelchair... or dead because you took an intersection at 60 miles an hour and T-boned me responding to what was a “man with a gun“ call fabricated by some Baby Mama who’s pissed that Baby DaddyDidn’t kick her 30 bucks to get her nails did.
SLOW. THE. FUCK. DOWN.
This Fool responded going the wrong way on the south street of Harrison (south of 290).
Did not even make an effort to slow down- the pod video is awful to see.
City is gonna have to make an example out of him so the Speed Racers ( millennials) can get it through their heads
Start firing these idiots , 18 squads totaled ! That’s
insane. Trust me the gunman is long gone before
you newbies get there. Do u think the gunman is going
to wait for you ? U are a reactive police officer ! Proactive
policing is dead (that means u would have been stopping
these dreads of society before the shooting or maybe
shutting down the party). Be the change, whatever that
means. I still wanna know what tool came up with that
marketing slogan.
"Boy oh boy! Some lowlife, scumbag gangbangers just got shot....Now's the time for me to be the REAL POLICE!!! Let's see how fast this squad car will go....better make sure I disobey all rules of the road while I'm at it! If I go down the wrong way on this one way street traveling at the speed of light I should be okay! Uh oh....intersection with traffic lights! Better disregard what little training and common sense I have...go even faster until I'm at warp speed, close my eyes, and say a Hail Mary....tactical team, here I come!!!!"
Worked as an outside unit in 011 over the summer. Needless to say, doing 65 to a priority job and still getting passed up by 011 district cars. People need to slow down there. What’s in the water?
Now, now, boys and girls, who is it that you are driving at break neck speeds to capture? A despicable human being that will probably be shot dead himself within a couple of years. If you can't get there safely, slow down, do you really want to have a devastating, life changing injury to catch some worthless predator that is hell bent on destruction? It's OK to be 2nd on the scene or 3rd, just get there, you're of no damn use to anyone, including your friends, parents and family if you're paralyzed for life or dead.
These stupid kids these days don’t ever listen. They all think this job is like a video game, or it’s like they see in the movies. Fly down the street like maniacs on every fucking bullshit call. Going through intersections without even a tap on the brakes. Until some real discipline is given on some of these crashes nothing will ever change. Tear up a $60000 suv, take a reprimand. What the fuck is that going to do??? Start giving them 5-10 days off at a crack maybe they will change. And then after they tear up a car God forbids you try and give them a pool car or older car, they go and cry to the WC every single time.
Take your time. My FTO told me long ago that "shootings are the best time eaters for your tour. What you wanna clear and get 10 more bullshit jobs? He ain't gonna be more dead." Classic.
So they’re totaling a car once every two and a half weeks? Brilliant. The total costs associated with these crashes must be through the roof. Does everyone race to the scene so that they can apply a tourniquet and hope to get an award?
God I can’t wait to get off this job.
What's the hurry it is not like they are still there shooting. Even is they were exchanging fire do you really want to get in the middle of it. No way no how. Take your time and get there in time round fill out paperwork and here from any witness dinnen see nursing. This should have never happened.
At this stage of the game the only time anyone should be going lights and sirens to a call is for a 10-1. Period. The union made it clear that you the police are not protected in this city. STOP racing around and STOP doing proactive work. Who gives a shit if some gangbanger gets shot. Seriously guys and girls stop doing police work , because it could cost you your job .
"three teenagers wounded at a party in Homan Square."
That's the reason your now in the Hospital?
Bravo
Could be a lack a inexperience partners being paired together.
YOU know the old lazy guy that tells you to slow down it AINT a big deal.
BUT again some people just cant drive well yet they grab the key to avoid doing reports because guess what they dont CREATE great reports.
Get well soon this time. wait till you see your suspension after a year on the medical!
So, which emergency vehicle has the right of way?
Does an ambulance have the right of way over a police car?
Amazingly dumb. Probably newbies looking for tact.
Prayers to all injured for a full recovery and to the driver. Terrible Be safe boys and girls in blue.
CPD rushing to possibly catch a shooter..
You catch him he resists you use force..
He gets off via S.A.you get fired lose pension and freedom !!
Hmmmm
You can not help anyone racing around those neighborhood. If it is not a 10-1 slow and steady wins the race.
Thanks to the 10th district boss for stepping in and lending a hand in handling that crash. Thanks Sarge.
Because we still have idiots trying to be super cops and live up to the " i work the westside" b.s. well i did 3 years in 11 and it was a hole then and its still a hole today and no amount of arrests is gonna change it ! All the tact wannabes , you all don't get to see the punishments getting handed down to the last idiots getting themselves jammed up because they've already left for another district or unit ! Wish u could ask them then was it worth it, taking 15 days or worse for absolutely nothing !
Slow the hell down and never assume you have the right of way. There are a million ways to get hurt on this job. Not getting hurt in this matter is TOTALLY in your control. Unless you're responding to your mother being shot, slow the hell down. A few seconds/minutes isn't going to make that much of a difference.
Good Lord, learn a lesson already.
Stay safe all.
Stop chasing cars and bad guys let it be. If have you protect yourself and your family. Arrest in signed complaints. That’s it . 011 district tact teams are all full of 3/5 year wonders that have no clue.
Turn the knob on the box. Especially if following another emergency vehicle. Differing sounds let's others know there are multiple vehicles coming through. And unless it's another copper or your family, follow the rules of the road.
use lights and sirens , but drive under speed limit , obey traffic signals so this does't happen again .
you do not to injure yourself or others , unable to help victim when this happens
be careful out there
The video is bookmarked in the PODS. It’s hard to watch. The ambo has the green with a squad behind it and the other squad enters the intersection without stopping at all. Total disregard for everyone’s safety. Slow the fuck down junior. You’re gonna kill or paralyze someone over ghetto drama.
Dude will be dead no matter what you do. Slow down.
O.T. Sergeant's Test Registration Not Working
I tried applying for the sergeant's test exam. Step #1 is to create a profile in the city of Chicago jobs website. I am halfway done and now the site won't let me advance. It says "this job no longer exists". What the fuck is going on?
The only thing you were gonna do on scene is stuff your hands in your vest and stand around. Slow it down.
Don't be a dead hero. Bad guys are long gone. Get there in one piece. Not worth getting hurt for uncivilized animals!!!!
Listen wanna be cowboys. Don't be a bigger threat to yourself than the threat the bad guy is to you. The numbers speak for themselves, more officers become incapacitated or killed as a result from on duty traffic accidents than by officers shot or stabbed. The F.B.I publishes these statistics yearly.
SCC your comment about the ambulance having a person in it should hit home to everybody. That shit could have went really bad if there was. Slow the fuck down and clear intersections safely
".... increasingly high number of officers fresh off their status and lack of leadership...."
1986-87-88...westside flooded with new police- and the minute you were off your 1 year probation- you could work with someone one off their 8 week FTO training but still a PPO (like it or not)----BIG difference is back then there was respect---for bosses (earned or feigned) and each other---it was a team, new guys, Vietnam vets who dislike being split up form their partners (even for one shift) , the women haters (not too many ladies on the job-even with the massive hiring).....knowledge was shared, mistakes corrected....yeah , I get it- its a job....but for those 8 hours - it was family
So eager to come to the aid of some community member who can't fucking stand you, same community member who will be calling for your head the second they feel you wronged them....no thank you, I'll take my time and get there safely.

When you see the video you’ll know who the idiot is. It’s pretty easy to figure it out.
011 is filled with guys and gals flying around going 100mph to any and everything. If this copper is made an example of maybe things will change there. Apparently Rialmo getting fired wasn’t enough to learn to slow the fuck down and stick it in this cities ass whenever you can.
I learned the hard way, you’re no help to anybody if you don’t get there. The tbone was my fault. Neck still bothers me 38 years later. Slow down, gang.
These kids fly lights and sirens to EVERYTHING

These newbies all know better than us. We're lazy and boring because we don't want to fly across district to every call, and don't move unless we are on a job. Well dips$%#s, have fun when you get sued. I'm sure the department will appreciate the time you flew 85 mph across sectors to be the first to find the dead body and report the offenders went that-away. They'll nod in appreciation when firing you.
"Worked as an outside unit in 011 over the summer. Needless to say, doing 65 to a priority job and still getting passed up by 011 district cars. People need to slow down there. What’s in the water?"
What's in the water???
You tell us.
If you were doing 65 anywhere in 011,
for any reason, including a 10-1,
you drank a lot of Filmore water.
I bet the officers were quite new. If they only have one sleeve tattoo done they probably only have 1-2 years on because their salary isn’t enough to pay for both sleeves just yet. Usually they get both sleeves done by their 3-4 year mark. Between 6-10 is when they buy the new raised warrior Jeep.

It was on its way to the shooting.
Thankfully all is safe and a lesson is learned , but shit happens. All you commenting have drove aggressive. Why throw cops under the bus. I agree slow down and be careful but 011 is insane. What about the fact that children we're shot here? The cops are a reflection of the insanity.
I was riding around 011 a few months ago. I personally witnessed Some tactical Barbie twins, neither could’ve had more than two years on the job , on 1/W in a marked 06 car doing at least 80 down Roosevelt responding to a foot chase for weed. A short while later these two same chickies are Augusta Boulevard near Keeler for a Nother assist and a foot chase after a dozen slowdowns and disregards were given. The brakes were literally smoking. These fucking idiots are going to get somebody killed, it’s not a matter of if, but when. Seriously, these Cowboys need to be disciplined and disciplined hard to set an example. If I’m ever injured because of some moron cop driving 80 miles an hour to a selling call, I promise to sue both the city of Chicago and that officer personally. I will do everything in my power to bankrupt somebody that disregards the most basic of common sense. Is many posters here have said already ITS GHETTO BS DRAMA. there is no reason or benefit to being the first on the scene where some pooch is laying there shot dead. Please don’t ask me to contribute to their fundraiser when they catch days for this stupid ass stunt they just pulled. Stupid is supposed to hurt.
06:34am. If you look at the video the ambulance was on the right and the squad hit the ambulance on the left but I hear the squad was going the wrong way on a one way street. So the ambulance had the right of way.
Put an engine kill switch on the passenger side.or a “ governor” switch. It’s no fun being hurt in a car accident. No fun waking up to a hospital light and dr s around you. Start charging $ these guys for preventable accidents...their ego and wallets will feel it. And yes, they don’t listen. Every district has a few demolition drivers. Some learn the hard way.
So, which emergency vehicle has the right of way?
Does an ambulance have the right of way over a police car?
10/21/2019 06:34:00 AM
Ambulance has the right of way, no matter what the police car is responding to.
Lower hiring standards. Bad training. Pick.
Make them take the bus to calls.
The same shit goes on down in the 4th District. I had to pull over and get out of the way going to a person shot recently to make way for the two unmarked explorers driving like maniacs up from behind me. I had my emergency lights on and was already driving over the speed limit when the tact cars were about to drive into the back of me. 004 Tact and mission cars are filled with P.O.'s with under 3 years on the job which is part of the problem. We are without a contract and are under attack from the Mayor, COPA, I.G., Media and everyone else in this city, so I can't understand why people are still bringing in activity and driving like maniacs to catch bad guys anyways.
Young millennials wanting to get to the tact teamwork plainclothes NARC status, thinking about being the first car on scene and getting that trophy, a gun. Where are the supervisors, oh I forgot they are space cadets too.
So, which emergency vehicle has the right of way?
Does an ambulance have the right of way over a police car?
------------
I assume you're not the police.
If both emergency vehicles have their lights on then whichever vehicle has the green has the right away
There is no reason to foolishly rush in, not in 011 for bullshit disrespectin’ get-even shootings.
And trying to outrun a bambulance...why?
How did the eager to please the boss driver not yield to all 4 corners of bamb lights?
Red lights mean STOP.
CFD in my opinion always have the right of way and first dibs to intercede ghetto escapades.
But their speed should also be that of a hyperactive lagoon turtle...for the kids.
I think 011 and many others should also have lawnmower speed vehicles or speed limiters, governors, etc. or never give a 3 year wonder a vehicle with less than 150,000 miles on it. Never get caught up in a situation where you would expect rapid help too.
The old tunnel vision, like the rounding of a blind corner and getting waylaid in 010 last week.
Great to be young, been there-done that...but that was summer of ‘85.
We can all appreciate the tenacity to help canvass androunding up a few cooperative witnesses for the Area while the scene was still fresh. The state’s attorney sure does.
Somewhere I read the City bought 200 more SUV’s...199 should be available for others.
Heck, 3400 Flournoy (emphasis on flour) could have been a desk assignment. Either party could have walked to either location...for a report.
So who got stuck with the paper?
Sorry, but true. Endangering the Public more than protecting them when you drive like this. Exercise both self-control and vehicle control. Driver failed at both and needs a competency review.
lucky they weren't impaired.

Looky looky, you think going 65 is not stupid. Easy hair jelly boy, I'm surprised you admit to your stupidity.
Telling these newbie knuckleheads to slow down just doesn’t work. I hope they get sued and have to pay a six figure punitive award, which is becoming common in a post Van Dyke world. Morons.

WTF. I don’t know if you’re serious or just trolling. If it were one of us bleeding out on the sidewalk who would we want to arrive on scene first. The ambulance? or a squad car.
The copper driving is lucky nobody died. I’d support a 60 day suspension, desk duties for at least 1 year, and driving training. Lots of lawsuits for this officer. SLOW DOWN!!!
What part of “clear the intersection” don’t you understand?
Get to the call safely, be careful out there.
"It's got a cop motor, a 440-cubic-inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas."
What is the point of having flashing lights and a siren if you can't drive the City like Nascar? Cherries and Berries, oh my!
Without a contract why would you be rushing anywhere but out the door at end of shift?
When are the editors at the Chicago newspapers and TV stations going to teach their reporters and news readers that police cars are called cruisers on the East Coast and squad cars in Chicago and the rest of the Midwest. At least try to act like you know anything about the city in which you are reporting.
I know our bosses would never apologize to the involved CFD Paramedics. So as a CPD officer I sincerely apologize for the actions of my fellow co-workers. Maybe one day, maybe, SCC will start a “wall of mush skulls” so we all know who’s a danger to themselves and their partner. Stay alert, stay alive.
Have you driven through the six district lately. Lights and sirens everywhere, all day long.
To all you idiots posting on Facebook that you want to buy the orders for the Sgt test and to the guys advertising that they are selling the orders for the Sgt test. Get ready to take time and a cr#. The orders clearly say that they are copyrighted information by the city and are not to be sold or distributed. Study groups like Bernstein and others get written approval from the city to print and distribute the orders. COPA and IAD are currently posing as officers selling and buying orders to jam cops up.
At the point the ambulance was entering the intersection, the cop car was a long way away if it was traveling at lightning speed, and could have been easily missed, which it sounds like it was. Ambulance is moving slowly as it completes the turn, and the cop car covers a lot of ground during that time. All because a couple teenage hood rats were shot at a party at 10 PM, when they should have been at home, asleep.
When I was teaching my son to drive, I told him there was only one rule out on the road. Assume that every other driver out there is a dumb ass, and will do some stupid shit. If you assume that about everybody you see, you can avoid most of the accidents.

——————-
It doesn’t matter who has priority. CPD general order states that responding units are to proceed “safely” to the scene. That purposeful use of such a vague word pretty much puts all of the responsibility on the police officer.
18 squads totaled? Holy fucking shit, back on the day, watch commanders would fucking freak the fuck out if you fucked up a car.

No it couldn’t be. It’s the driver. He has control of the car and is responsible, plain and simple. NO one including your partner can tell you how fast or how to drive period. Only you know your driving capabilities and if an accident occurs you will be taking the time, not the passenger
Quit trying to blame someone else for pairing partners
CFD Ambos have cameras they run only when in motion.
In all fairness, we have our orders I agree, but the ambulance can look for lights and sirens as well.

Lack of leadership? Was their Sgt or Lt driving the squad the wrong way on a one way street. As far as the ambulance looking for sirens and lights they might have been but it’s hard to see and hear lights and sirens when yours are going. The last place they would be looking is down a one way street looking for a car going the wrong way
I’m sure everyone on the blog realizes the city knows the only way to reduce the accidents, IOD’s, totaled cars and lawsuits is to suspends more officers until it slows down
IDIOTS!!!!!
Prayers for a full recovery.
C"mon use a little common sense
Youngsters in 011 thinking they are like Starsky and Hutch (wait they wouldn't remember that one) or some other TV or movie crime fighting super hero. Hurry at breakneck speed for what, gangbanger teens shot. Must have been a MENSA party gone wrong. I heard they were discussing the theory of relativity and things got heated.
These are also the types posting selfies and doing other dumb stuff on social media. People that stupid deserve what they get. This animated short called Mobile World shows just what we have become. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUW1wjlKvmY
For the driver of the squad car, enjoy your time on the medical and get well. When you return to work you will have another extended time off but it wqill be with out pay.
Typical 011 cowboys. Just to see some turd shot. Driving the wrong way down a one way street when they don’t have a green light not even tapping the brake entering the intersection. Please give them 10-20 day suspensions. Idiots
Don’t wanna day I told you so but, I TOLD YOU SO!!!!!! These three to five year wonders will not listen and still put their lives in danger when they clearly know the city and department do NOT have our backs. Damn rookies will never learn till they get fired. Sad but true.........
Complete momentary stop....
Some productive citizens get capped at a party,bad guys are not going to hang around and are long gone,don't kill yourself while enroute to the scene.

First off......there are TOO many po-leece in these shoot-em-up communities, in TOO small an area, and while it is
wonderful that you care enough to attempt to race to save someone's life, when you have squads and unmarked and ambulances
all going to that same call, you need to S T O P at the intersections.......cuz, my brothers and sisters, if you don't get there,
you can't help!
And secondly, we have currently an administration that will not take into account your intent to Serve and Protect.......
They will however throw you under the bus for your actions. So S T O P at the intersections......the life you save may be your own!

11:54 AM
Be it the East Coast or elsewhere, I know of no police department that refers to their marked police cars as "cruisers".
In the NYPD, such a marked vehicle is termed a "RMP" for Radio Motor Patrol.
Listen,I am done in Nov after 30, but after 15 on the bus,believe me when I say I only stepped on the gas for police\fire members and their families.having said that,I never blew a intersection,and was well aware of cpd coming in.I have lived it,and there is no excuse on the cfd side.and furthermore,getting there first,only opens you up to discipline,depositions,blah,blah.reverse is the best gear if you want a pension.
>> police cars are called cruisers on the East Coast and squad cars in Chicago...
These mofos were CRUISIN' pretty quickk to cath that perp. lol.

YOU know the old lazy guy that tells you to slow down it AINT a big deal.
BUT again some people just cant drive well yet they grab the key to avoid doing reports because guess what they dont CREATE great reports.
Get well soon this time. wait till you see your suspension after a year on the medical!
No it couldn’t be. It’s the driver. He has control of the car and is responsible, plain and simple. NO one including your partner can tell you how fast or how to drive period. Only you know your driving capabilities and if an accident occurs you will be taking the time, not the passenger

Maybe in 91/92, in 004, there was a muscle bound 6'5" roidrage young'un who I would have as a wagon partner on occasion. There could be a BS call at 133rd and Avenue O and he would take off like a bat out of hell towards that call from where we were on South Chicago Ave @ 75th St.
A disregard would be given when we were 3/4's of the way there and then a call would come out at 79th and Yates and it would be off to the races again. This would continue throughout the tour. Nothing I said could stop the insanity.
Got stuck with him again and he figures it's his turn to drive. Hangs the keys on his pen in his vest pocket and as quick as a cobra I snatched them off and let him know that seniority rules. He turned beet red, started trembling with rage, insisted that it was his right/turn to drive but, UH, UH, not if I'm in the same vehicle as you. We never worked together again after the Captain split us up for that night.
Could I have handled it more tactfully? Yes. Did he put my life on the line every time he drove? Hell yes.
Sometimes ya gotta take the bull by the horns.
Soo last contract they made a fleet of the new cars part of our contract, not benefiting us financially or health care wise. But these 2-3 wonders in 011 wreck 1 car every week. You are not cool for causing injury to CFD and yourself. We are the laughing stock of police professionals.
One of the first things my FTO drilled into my head was COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AT INTERSECTIONS.
ESPECIALLY ON HOT CALLS.
I'm retired now. Still thankful to Randy U. Formerly of the old Fort Forgotten...015.
The best dam FTO any PPO could've ever had. Though one helluva taskmaster.

zero sympathy. at this point, it is completely on you if bad things happen while you're being a fucking idiot. everyone has been told better. enjoy unemployment to the driver of that squad, especially when the deceased from the shooting files the lawsuit for a lack of prompt response due to an officer not following directives

Your frontal cortex isn't even done growing till 25 or so......you idiots racing to these scenes accomplish exactly......nothing. I was lucky I had old-timers to teach me. Now it sounds like nobody knows what the hell is going on. Think of it this way...do you want to end up a paraplegic racing to some call needlessly? No thanks. If you're riding with someone driving like an asshole call them out on it. A couple of minutes isn't going to matter shit, but a couple of bad decisions in those couple of minutes can cost you life, limb, and brain injury for the rest of your life.
"Department members may only use force that is objectively reasonable, necessary, and proportional in order to ensure the safety of a member or third person, stop an attack..."
This order, like most orders, is up to interpretation. Thinking about Rialmo and how he was only trying to defend his life and stop an attack by an offender using deadly force and the anti-police board's decision to fire him, now we know who does the interpreting of these orders.
When SCC says slow down, yes, SLOW DOWN indeed.
Video also shows passenger getting yanked out of the squad car why ???? Was squad car about to catch on fire ? Didn’t look like that. So way to fuck up a passenger by yanking her out without any neck brace or backboard? 6 year wonder, thank your eager coworkers who also chopped pants and maybe being screwed up for the rest of your life cause they have seen too many movies.
Once again proof that you cannot fix stupid.
Stupidest question of week, which has right of way. Hope you don't have the keys to your squad.

Worked as an outside unit in 011 over the summer. Needless to say, doing 65 to a priority job and still getting passed up by 011 district cars. People need to slow down there. What’s in the water?
Spoken like a true outside unit guy. To scared to spend more than a summer in 011 but got balls to criticize. Admittedly, better judgment should be exercised as to speed, but when you're the first 99 unit on that "priority job" you're glad to hear the cavalry coming. Most outside units in 011 just drive by anyway...got to go find some BS traffic to lockup in the already busy lockup dont you know? Everyone likes to "play" in 011 for a bit, few have what it takes to stay. Easier to talk shit from afar. I do agree however, bad move on this driver.

Laughing stock?? What suburban or backwoods mall cops are you getting your opinions from?? A. Who gives a flying F××K what other departments, or as you call them "professionals" think about us. B. I dare any of your professionals to spend 1 summer in 011 and see what they say and what they think about 011district coppers. Years ago they posted state police in 011 to "help out" for a summer or so. Those guys (probably the most "professional" LEO'S) as ISP are viewed damn near shit their pressed pants after a few crazy nights. All said how the hell do 011 coppers deal with that shit day in & day out. So back to your original point, let them walk in 011 coppers shoes and they won't be laughing at anybody.
Ok Greenhorns, remember that Fleet Management maintains these squads, Drive sensibly.
"Take an slowdown" indeed.

I bet the officers were quite new. If they only have one sleeve tattoo done they probably only have 1-2 years on because their salary isn’t enough to pay for both sleeves just yet. Usually they get both sleeves done by their 3-4 year mark. Between 6-10 is when they buy the new raised warrior Jeep.
LMFAO!!! So Fucking true. You forgot to mention they all have beards now too.

There is an admin message giving PO's permission to print them.... Would be kind of hard to study when you can't print an order....
Here is my response from the EMS side
DUE REGARD...….. If they are laying on the ground 10 seconds more isn't going to matter much to clear the intersection.
Good lord 9:08PM... we get it. You’re the “real police” and a super cop because you work in 011 and everyone else sucks. I’m just so jealous of your district. Teach me Super Cop...
You’re probably the guy going Mach 7 through intersections because you have to show everyone how it’s done...

This post may have some factual relevance to the old “Filmo Rangers”, but they are all retired. It bears no relevance to this crew of knuckleheads who work in the Harrison District.

Hey dumb dumb there is a difference between printing them and selling them for money! Think about that with your peanut brain.

Don't forget 'shitbirds'
Lots of comments about how dumb millennials are. Yes, they are dumb, narcissistic, and oblivious. But you can't get mad at kids when you leave 6 and 8 year olds alone in a house and come home to find the lamp broken.
This is totally the department's fault. They are the irresponsible parents that send children out at 1am with a star, a gun, blue lights, and confusingly say, "be safe. Don't get into anything. We are Harrison Rangers. You ain't got nothin' kid. I want numbers. That's a great arrest. Wait for your first law suit. That one copper is a legend. I need a copy of that report for your DC. If you work you're crazy".
What do you think is going to happen!

Really, but yet Joe Citizen can go on the department webpage and print any or all the orders they want..... Sorry, I'm calling BS
It was a while ago, back when each beat would be assigned the same car for all three watches and people would actually take care of the cars. I was working the day when they sent me with the vehicle folder and extra keys to 51st and Wentworth garage to pick up a new vehicle. When I got there the new car guy said that it looks like a well cared for car and it’s a shame to send it to 007 but that’s the closest their gonna get to a new car, the way they were wrecking them! By the way, the car I picked up was totaled a couple of days later too.....
If you’re assigned to work a car with a known cowboy, ask to get off the car for safety reasons

They've never been worried about this.
The department would much rather you buy them than print them at work, if you can even find a working printer.
When a policeman gets hurt or killed there's no outcry from the fake priests, ministers,and politicians. But when a gang banger or honor roll student gets killed all hell breaks loose!

Listen,I am done in Nov after 30, but after 15 on the bus,believe me when I say I only stepped on the gas for police\fire members and their families.having said that,I never blew a intersection,and was well aware of cpd coming in.I have lived it,and there is no excuse on the cfd side.and furthermore,getting there first,only opens you up to discipline,depositions,blah,blah.reverse is the best gear if you want a pension.

Well you'd have to consult the 011th Dist. 'known cowboy" database and I think that has been destroyed since having been ruled unconstitutional or discriminatory against cowgirls or some such nonsense.
"known cowboy" - wow
