Off Duty Shot At
- Someone shot at an off-duty Chicago police officer Tuesday in Wrightwood on the South Side.
The officer was in his personal vehicle about 9:57 p.m. in the 8100 block of South Washtenaw Avenue when a male got out of a gray-colored caravan and fired shots at him, Chicago police said.
The officer wasn’t injured, and he didn’t return gunfire, police said. His vehicle was struck by bullets, and the suspect fled in an unknown direction.
In a conversation, someone said he was followed from work? We can't find that report and have no idea if it's true, but one should always try to be aware when leaving work if someone is following you from a police facility. Be careful.

I had read that he just got off of work in 8 and was on his way home.
A Sgt was followed from 010 leaving the lot a couple weeks ago. Luckily sarge was aware of his surroundings, actually got the plate, guy fled, turned out to be a Latin King shithead from the area.
Be very wary everyone. The fake liberal media and anti police culture right now has emboldened these shitheads.
The old school retired here. Folks, burn you mirrors when going anywhere, and certainly going too and from work. Take different routes and make a few u-turns to see if you are being followed.
Throw those FOP stickers in the garbage. They worked with the meter maids 30 years ago. Get rid of anything in plain view to show you or family members driving your ride are in L.E.
If you pull in the alley to your garage wait a minute to see if you are tailed. Then hit the door opener.
Have a pistol in your pocket or in a hat on passenger seat to get to it if you are ambushed. If you can work a cell phone while driving you can have you hand on your Rosco!
Button up covering your uniform shirt if you can not put in locker do to roaches and bedbugs.
Or take your shirt off and put on a civilian shirt. In winter put a none police jacket on.
Put a bumper sticker of "Barry Obama rainbow election."
Blast gangster rap on your ride and get down like the former pimp Eddie J did. Don't drink and drive after your tour, and go home to your wife and children. Then start again the next tour kiddo'.
You guys are the best in the nation and us retired guys are proud of you. Please listen to SCC' words like gospel. He/she been doing this blog when you were in grade school.
Nice piece of advice

that has happened before in 010. Hispanic officers leaving work and the gang bangers might have mistook the officer for a gang member. The West Side is a dangerous place

Don't blend in too much either, they may think you're in a rival gang. Blacked out tinted windows in your srt8 will turn heads regardless of not looking like the police. Might even get you carjacked. Drive your 15 year old Japanese car to work.
Burn your mirrors.
Yeah, heard a limo driver say "I'm always working my mirrors."
Learned it in the Army.
Make a few U-turns. Still SCC could be following you.
He be fetal.
And that's a good court excuse, man. Use it if ya got it!

Great Points. Practice your Operations Security (OPSEC) to and from work and on the job as noted above. Give no quarter and always remain aware of your surroundings. This town is full of embolden adversaries that want to hurt you, your partner and family.
Hey Beck, if you are reading this blog, what are your District Commanders doing to protect the District Facilities and parking lots from the unwanted visitors. You're inviting trouble for yourself and risking the safety of the men and women in the Department. You have no idea how f'd up this city and Department is after years of mismanagement, corruption and incompetent leadership. It's time to stop shaking hands and start kicking some ass, clean house and make significant progress in fixing the Department.

above poster offers a lot of solid advice on officer safety. Let me further add that attracting attention is NOT what you want. Loose all the police stuff, hat bands, stickers, personal clothing. Another thing is carry two wallets, one for your personal stuff like cash, credit cards,DL, etc NO POLICE STUFF, the SECOND wallet should have your Badge/Star and ID and that's it.
Stop flipping your wallet open at Jewel or Meijer trying to impress everyone, your not. If you want people to know your the police, you may get it.
Don't wear your uniform to and from work, at least cover your top with a light coat/jacket.

Media is beatifying Fred Hampton on the this anniversary of his earthly departure. Remember officers, back in 1969 the Black Panthers were in a war with CPD, murdering several officers. Fred chose poorly!

absolutely. I got a kick out of the news (I think it was Ch. 9) when they referred to an "exchange of gunfire" about a month or whatever before the Hampton shooting - resulting in 2 cops and one offender (they probably used the word 'citizen' I don't remember) being killed.
So a Black Panther kills 2 cops and they refer to it as an 'exchange of gunfire?' WTF planet am I on? I tried to google the incident but I couldn't find anything.
I hate to sound like an activist but this is beyond the pale here. Can anyone add any details as to the cops that were killed? Wow. It was on the news 04Dec.
12/05/2019 10:54:00 AM
saw it, ubelievable
Even my Rats have mirrors!
I sure COPA already has paper on exactly how to blame the office for being "involved" or "instigating" the shooting. AMAZING
According to the new Illinois cannabis act, firefighters police and correctional officers Her only prohibited while on duty.
Always vary your route home, watch those mirrors, as said above remove Fop decals, hat bands don’t wear uniforms home or to work! The democrats especially Barry stated the war on police god bless CPD!!
Wuh, in Gun controlled Sanctuary City? Remember SpecialEd made the promise to see prosecution “to the fullest extent of the law” ?
Hey, by the way...what happens to his Big Johnson Gun Arrest Dashboard in his wake ?
A million years from now humans will have a extra eyes in the back of their heads, or perhaps those like the chameleons monocular vision or a frogs nocturnal 360° peripheral. So it’s just a matter of time when ones safety and well being will be protected.
The way the Cook Co States Atty Office and it’s Chief Judge let violent armed feral assailants out on Affordable Bond, reducing felonies to misdemeanors and hand out nothing as far sentencing or penalties, citizens can expect this sort of violence to continue.
It makes thing even more troubling is that these same feral predators, these urban terrorists are targeting police just like they do in the U.K. and more recently in NYC.
Emboldened by lack of accountability, punishment and riled up by the elected.
It’s a jungle out there.
“...a gray-colored caravan...”
Remember when the feral community members used to steal those G-body era Regals, Monte Carlos (SS) and those tiny Chevy Blazers.
If you wanted a real PSMV (and there wasn’t any ASA bickering back then) you can easily get that pinch any night. Certainly not worth the predicaments COPA has to offer these days.
Watch out for Caravans in the rear view mirror until you grow those extra eyeballs.
I too was followed by a white challenger with racing stripes . He followed me into an alley . I thought it was going to get bad. You must stay alert and plenty ready!!!! Shielding with gun in hand. Telephone pole can provide good shielding . Kill or be killed!! The driver thankfully kept going.
Amen to above!
every bit of the local "news" story on this incident left you with more questions they didn't answer.
Leaves 006th district and his vehicle is shot up "half a mile from work."
Except 81st and washtenaw is over 3 miles away.
Saw the guy following you since you left the station?
But you let him follow you to 81st and Washtenaw from 78th and Halsted?
The vehicle takes off from 81st in unknown direction and you keep driving to 85th on a flat?
I remember a case in Miami back in the early 1990's when a fugitive was arrested by the US Marshal's after a gunfight. Under the front seat of his Bronco were a couple of pipe bombs and some 12 by 18 inch photos of a DEA group meeting in a parking lot after conducting a surveillance on some dopers. Be aware of your surroundings, go armed and vary routes to and from your place of work and especially your home.
Off topic; what happen to that goof that hit that guy crossing the street in squad car. Wasn't she on the way to some detail
SCC , are you aware that when Area 4 and Area 5 reopen all homicide Detectives will he moved to those areas. No Homicide Detectives will he left at Area 3. So now, all homicide coverage will move to the west side and leave the tax paying citizens of Rogers park, Edgewater, Uptown, Lakeview, Boystown, Wrigley, Lincoln Park, downtown all without close coverage, and would have Homicide Detectives responding from Grand and Central, or Harrison and Kedzie. We thought the Mayor was reopening these Areas to get quicker response times to areas?

9:50 AM and 10:54 AM:
On Friday night, November 14, 1969 (three weeks before the Black Panther raid at 2337 W. Monroe St.), CPD district patrol responded to "a man with a shotgun" run near 58th and Calumet in 002. Officers John GILHOOLY (002) and Frank RAPPAPORT (003) were shot and killed by a Black Panther named Spurgeon "Jake" WINTERS. Other CPD then located Winters hiding in a basement stairwell on King Drive where the shotgunner double cop killer was shot and killed.
The Black Panthers later named two "clinics" after Winters, one on 16th St. in North Lawndale and the other on Wilson Ave. in Uptown.
The heroic murdered police officers stars are on display in the lobby of CPD HQ as well as the CPD Memorial Park east of Soldier Field.

Fake news : CPD is a zero tolerance / drug free work place enforced by random drug testing that is Agreed to by collective bargaining/contract. The cannabis act specifically states that employers can still demand drug testing and deny employment or fire people based on violations of their policy. The type of drugs we are tested for does change sometimes in our contract. Last contract was:
Ecstasy (MDA/MDMA) and steroids shall be added to the panel of substances for which the Department tests, and Methaqualone shall be removed from such panel.
So, just tell the FOP to request that the department stop testing for THC in our drug screenings during contract negotiations.
Cannabis Act article 10 section 10-50
(a) Nothing in this Act shall prohibit an employer from adopting reasonable zero tolerance or drug free workplace policies, or employment policies concerning drug testing, smoking, consumption, storage, or use of cannabis in the workplace or while on call provided that the policy is applied in a nondiscriminatory manner.
(c) Nothing in this Act shall limit or prevent an employer from disciplining an employee or terminating employment of an employee for violating an employer’s employment policies or workplace drug policy.

I’m retired do security for a dispensary on the northside everything we sell every CBD product has THC in it everything does! This dope is extremely powerful not like what your grandma and daddy used to smoke and your mama, this is serious medicine many people will be going to the hospital after they are hallucinating from when they are smoking the stuff not counting all the contact high being around this garbage. The Democrats here just want the money from the taxes which is going to be about 40% over the medical marijuana watch and see how quickly the cartel will grow here once the people start trying it they never tried it before I didn’t know they can get a cheaper it’s like heroin, You get hooked on a feeling same way as you do with the other drugs marijuana is not a innocent drug it is a gateway to using more and more just like alcohol and more you drink the better you feel the more you want. Watch and see how many kids will be smoking now their parents will buy that for them just like back in the day when the adults by the alcohol and did the run for us it will be running for the weed.

– Not enough Murders to justify keeping any at the A3 ?
Seems typical of some merit boss dum-dum to suggest and implement.
Don’t worry, it’s a pilot program for optics and starters, until the Murder picks up. Like that felony UUW bs that had only Dets handling all the ASA refusals years ago, heck, it might still be a pilot program until UUW becomes an ANOV.
I do think the clearing out of the entire Area 3 building is coming. It’s value is in the acreage, ripe to be shuttered and demolished for urban renewal and voter colonization... think TIF’s Sterling Bay RiverView Falls Village.

That's D.C. Tirado's girl. Talk about her, you'll be dumped. Just know that if you hit a pedestrian in an unmarked car while heading to God knows where you'd be in callback. So mind your business and let the 3-6 year dollies do what it is that they do.
Retired living in Fl. State Trooper here commented on my black Cook County Sheriff hoody that the CO's sell at the jail to wear to and from work. He couldn't believe that peoples and folks would follow or take a shot at a PO driving to or from work.
Ed Hanrahan was a good man sent his men to do what needed to be done.
PRO TIP: When I was being followed in training runs, I would pretend to be jamming to the radio, unaware of my surroundings. You can check mirrors constantly but look like you are clueless.
It saddens me that those animals are brazen enough to follow a Cop home. A criminal that will go after a Cop needs to be hunted and put down.
also: if you smoke weed no foid card kiddos. think you might need that for work and play. just sayin...........

Police officers do not need a FOID card per state law, however most police departments require it. Don't get a medical mary jane card, they cross them with FOID. Pissing hot always a risk unless you have a heavy phone call.

baloney, weed isn't addictive like heroine/opiods. You are 100% FOS. Legal weed is going to be expensive, very expensive. yes the machine is controlling the industry with their connected friends. The gateway thing is BS.
Don't believe its a gateway? Just ask any addict what they started with. Legal weed expensive but on the block weed is not. All this will do is create more customers for the gangs to exploit. No tax dollars in that is there. No dollars for the pensions either in street weed just more junkies stealing to support their habit. Lol at the stupidity of Democratic voters.
