Proof
- A Chicago police officer who fired dozens of times at a fleeing teenager in 2011 should lose his job over the fatal shooting, but will only serve a monthlong suspension, according to a report from the department’s oversight agency that reverses a ruling made by the department two years after the shooting.
Officer Macario Chavez and two fellow officers were cleared of wrongdoing in the shooting death of 19-year-old Calvin Cross after an investigation by the now-defunct Independent Police Review Authority in 2013. Chavez fired a total of 31 shots — 28 from an assault rifle— as he and two partners on a South Side tactical unit chased Cross through a residential neighborhood in West Pullman.
The investigation was reopened in 2016 after a revamp of IPRA amid the fallout of the fatal shooting of Laquan McDonald. In June, IPRA’s successor agency, the Civilian Office of Police Accountability, ruled Chavez violated department policy by firing multiple shots with a high-powered rifle at Cross as the teen sprinted through a residential neighborhood, and that the final volleys of shots Chavez fired as Cross lay prone on the ground — and perhaps dead— were unjustified.
And we will guarantee they aren't just looking at shootings.

Find a shady spot and slow-roll to your calls. Doing anything (even stuff from years and years ago) will come back to bite you.
Lightfoot has COPA and the Consent Decree eating away at the Department members from both ends. In the wings lay the bosses to fuck with the troops if they survive COPA and the Consent Decree.
copacabana's recent strategy has been to use statements made in law suit depositions or court testimony to jam up officers with a rule 14. Bottom line, any report whether written or oral, statement to copa/IAD/IG, court testimony, deposition, etc better be the same. Had there been no lawsuit for this shooting, copa likely would not have reopened the investigation. They used the settlement and whatever court findings came of it as leverage in order to imply that the shooting was "bad". Another example is the Patrick Kelly case although he should have been fired long time ago. copa used the civil lawsuit depositions, testimony, etc to support their "findings". Trust me their "investigators" cant tell the difference between pouring syrup over shit and pouring syrup over pancakes. Theyre reyling on the loevy and loevy's to do the legwork for them.
SCC: Please don't fall for the gun-grabbers word games and use terms like "assault rifle". It is a tautology as all rifles are designed to do the same thing: shoot projectiles.
If it was an AR15 (semiauto) or an M16 (full auto), then use those terms. We all need to stick together to combat these semantic encroachments as the commies try to shift the Overton Window. Unfortunately, words matter in this day and age.

You do realize it's a quote from a news article? And the news media is the one misusing the terms? That's why we put it all in italics and include a link up top so you can read the entire article?
Are you new here?
I hope all get the message about hard charging. I would hate to see more people get judged like this.
I think it’s time to look for a connection between COPA and the ghetto lottery lawyers who repeatedly sue the City. Sure seems to me that COPA is shady, incompetent, are cop haters, have no credibility, has ties to the “community” and their rulings open the door for pay-outs. And this being Chicago....
Not a LEO

SCC doesn't take any shit, in case you didn't know.........
He got clout
Not sure what initiated “the chase” other than a CB# and another Period to engage in tv police theatrics.
Sure, getting a gun off the feral and off the streets is a plus but man-o-man chasing after it over the vast ghetto plains?
If there were some chance of a hefty prosecutorial outcome, maybe it would bring some satisfaction with a conviction...for running away from the police. UUW and related crimes don’t apply.
The FakeNews article sure may it known joe’s handgun was non-functional.
Chasing these violent feral community members only interrupts their mission to annihilate their competitors and those disrespectful.
Leave them alone and mind your bidness. Cannot change what Cook County condones.
These guys may be lucky for now and days or nights of chasing is over.
But el’COPA will get their chance to pickup where I’PRA faltered.
If being Fetal isn’t an option...Slump behind the Wheel.
Here we go again......
The AR is not a "high-powered " rifle.
The pay out went to the child in article, the city asked for a DNA test but got bullied by Hamilton, you guessed it former Corp council attorney. Left to make big money off the city!!!! But anyway back on topic it’s important to keep consistent with any and all statements made, write them down from now on. Review all transcripts and audio from depositions everything. Good luck and mind your own business on the street, it will take care of itself. You’ve been warned. Btw Calvin had two guns, dude down the block picked it up and first one was recovered as they were approaching it.
Is COPA a career witch hunt job? They have no current cases
so they are cracking the books on the closed cases? If you
tell me you have law school interns, members of the Innocence
Project, then I will say you are running a fishing expedition.
It's nothing more than a mining operation. You dig until you
find something.
Criminal shoots at the coppers, coppers shoot back. Lamestream media says "oh all that was found after the poor victimized criminal was killed was a .38 incapable of being fired because it was dirty..."...
Uh huh, and no one in the ghetto has ever seen another POS toss a gun, then grabbed it? Or tossed some piece of crap gun in its place?
COPA even says that although all the officer can get is 30 days suspension, they still recommend he be stripped... Dah fuq?
They want nothing? Do nothing.
will they open up old cases , cases of exempt members involved in car chases , off duty shootings , sexual harassment , cheating on lieutenants exam , having sworn officers pick up their children on cpd time , failing to inventory guns recovered from personal lockers ?
(OT) RIP Godspeed:

What is the reason for opening old cases????
All those shots from an assault rifle? He should have been canned (or at least removed from the streets) when that shit went down. Since when do you have to fire that much of a volley from an M4 at one motherfucker? That's just nuts!
COPA is nothing more then a lynch mob!
Yup! It’s been said copa is gonna revisit a lot of old cases and that’s exactly what they’re doing. And now with the 2 newly convicted clowns, look for warrant paperwork to be scrutinized. All you clowns working tac or 06 that pressure your tvbs to give you some bullshit are in for a rude awakening.
"If being Fetal isn’t an option...Slump behind the Wheel"
Haha! "Stay fetal" is getting a bit tired. Time to switch to something a little more in line with current times.
How can they do that reverses a ruling made by the department two years after the shooting?

Hope your not Police because this is the comment of a know nothing know it all civilian. Guess you were caught up in the 16 shots media smear job and political lynching. Try and think through things before you make moronic comments and strive for one original thought in your life.

Why give COPA reasons to grill your a$$ over some ghetto bird who'll likely be clipped by another ghetto bird?
Remember, we are accountable for each round that goes through the barrel of our pistols / M4s.
We Are All Replaceable
Better start your legal defense boys and girls cause these MFer are manipulating, distorting, and blatantly lying to cheat justice and ensure every officer is punished for the social justice dream!
Weird how they can look into decade old cases
BUT
Cheating scandal
Drunk superintendent DONT even show up on the radar for them?
Even the viewing of the Laquan video seems laughable and out of reach for these so called investigators.
