Cops Rescue Swimmer
- Chicago police officers dove onto ice at the edge of Lake Michigan and pulled someone out of the frigid water Saturday morning in the Gold Coast, Chicago police said.
After receiving a call for a person in the water, SWAT officers who were patrolling the area saw someone bobbing in the water around 7 a.m. in the 600 block of North Lake Shore Drive, police said.
The officers hopped over a breakwall, slid across the ice and pulled the person from the water, according to police.
The person was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in critical condition.
There's video floating around (floating...haha) somewhere and it's very good. These two officers almost went in themselves before other city workers grabbed their legs to help get the victim out of the water. Very very well done.

Don’t judge a whole group by the actions of a few you fu*king sheep.
99% of police are trying to do the right thing every day. Time for the “community” to step the hell up. The people are sick of this fake agenda now, you will see come March... how about

Did they find our retro?
Great Courage By the Police Officers.Thank You City Workers for holding onto them ! Together We're Better! Isnt it Wonderful how We care for, respect Each Other and help Each Other when a politician or one of Chicagos other hate mongers isnt involved. We have to continue bringing the Love and Common sense and not be taken in by and spread the evil and hate.We Appreciate Our Police Officers and We need more of You in 018 North and Wells.
Hey Groot - was that PROACTIVE enough?
Kudos to all involved... great work.
Just another of the many great things Officers do every day that the media will remain nearly silent on.
Watched this from my high-rise window, didn’t catch the heroism (fire response brought me to the window), but I saw the crew all gathered around someone, but >not< in the water, no (scuba team) which drove me to have a discussion with my wife about the fact that Chicago’s first responders RESPOND when a life is in danger.
SCC made fun of the coyote ice rescue, one of the few times I’ve disagreed. I drove by when they were packing up and my heart sank; that was exactly where the two partiers drowned after driving their car in the water.
But nope, it was just part of the first-responder DNA...if something needs to get rescued, by damn Chicago’s responders are going to rescue it, at least that’s what this citizen takes away. That is pure professional pride and it makes this city safer.
A toast to the two that were first on the scene and took care of business before waiting for someone else to do the hard work.
Are the green uniforms going to be ok?
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Just kidding. Very heroic.
The S.W.A.P. team must have been trolling.
Nice job. I wouldn't have done it.
Congratulations officers and “other city workers” for a great job done . Good health to all.
Good job guys !
Nice job by all involved, truly "Chicago's Finest."
Cops save lives!
Is this what the meant by ICE swat ?
Very nice
God bless the CPD🙏10 officers were injured last night trying to protect the lives of complete strangers. Ten.
When will the so called leadership of the City stop encouraging criminals and start backing the citizens, the victims and the CPD? This is war.
Fuck you, Mayor.
Fuck you, Kim Foxx.
Fuck you, Judge Evans.
Fuck you, Cook County.
Fuck you ALL. Let you AND YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS be victimized and suffer in eternal hell because your karma will come.
Reach, Throw, Row, Go. All Border Patrol vehicles have a floatation rescue Frisbee (Model MS-13) to be thrown at any illegals drowning while attempting to swim across the border into the U.S. Maybe we can get the ones that don't have the short rope attached.
Well, this confirms it. Like I posted three days ago - You guys & gals ARE Super Heroes! VERY Well Done Officers!
And the anti-police progressives can go f--k themselves.
When they're being mugged, robbed, raped, car-jacked -- or have a medical emergency, like 'falling' into an icy Lake Michigan -- let them call a Social Justice Warrior for help!
They deserve a merit better bump. Hero’s!!!!
But the community hates the mean police. Good job officers. Hero stuff these should be merit promotions.
sink or swim these days.....
That’s our job, that’s what we do everyday. I’m glad that was in a high profile location and was caught on video from caring people!
Ralph Papa Thorson Says:
There are still some Real Police out there, thank God !
Great job. You make us proud.
Those guys did a fantastic job. All the grumpy assholes can complain all they want and most likely will never admit that they would hope somebody would stick their necks out like that if they were in a similar pickle.
Outstanding work troops.
how does some knucklehead get into late michigan in february
Give those cold officers and city workers a shot of whiskey and a pat on the back. Great job!
LightBright would have lectured the "swimmer" on the need for a life jacket while he was drowning.
Good job officers. The Almighty was watching over you all and thankfully everyone was able to go home safely. That being said, I think it is beyond reckless for anyone to play around the waters of lake Michigan in the middle of winter. They put not only themselves, but others at unreasonable risk. I've lived here my whole life and never heard more incidents where these fools underestimate the hazards of that lake and fall in, can't swim, swam too far, ignored warnings, got drunk, etc. than I have in recent years.
Who knew that there were two kinds of Ice SWAT?

CPD, relentlessly doing what they do best-day in and day out...
Ensuring others safety before there own.
It doesn’t matter. The Police will be there.
Even if the bobber out there was that asshat Jason....
Of course he’d be rescued, too.
He was practicing for the Polar Plunge. I heard he was yelling, “I’m getting ready for the polar plunge!” Lol
He was more like a bobber.
Off topic: 016th district under the catch and release program two offenders rob victims, downing several cars and detective recourses in a districts that already has low manpower. Offenders get out and rob more people THE VERY NEXT DAY and were caught again. why isn't the news interested in this story?
Thank God for that there SWAT
And why did our little Ninja venture on to the ice in the
first place? Good thing some of those SWAT guys are
professional bull riders.
#Ban Ice Fishing In Chicago (BIFIC)
Groot don't surf
12:50 AM our retro came full circle
Media has taken buyouts and stocked up on popcorn
While GrootLoafer sleeps.
Bravery beyond.
I can’t swim and never worked in a lakefront area or had any deep water, let alone choppy, frigid waters.
A little preparedness goes a long way.
When I hear of these incidents, I wonder many of you lakefront, riverfront guys and gals carry or have a good length of thick rope in the Department vehicle ?

“There's video floating around (floating...haha) somewhere and it's very good.”
– Im annoyed by how many morons out there quick with the cellphone cameras and too occupied capturing the event for mass release on their social media. Some won’t bother to help or assist in any way to save a life or even bother to call for help. Maybe one of them called 911, but have be out there at 7am in the bitter cold to get that footage for instagram or twitters is appalling.
Wonderful work thank you Officers!
It happens every January & February
Cook County Ice Rescue
Groot has complete contempt for us.
What was CFD waiting for?
Takes guts to approach the lake in winter. I have seen semi-cold water break hard men in training. Hell yeah CPD Officers! Hell yeah!

Let’s hope this act of courage wasn’t at or near the end of a tour. Man, oh man the reckoning.
Possible SlumTimes headline would be:
S.W.A.T. CAUGHT TROLLING !
- IG Ferguson called it
- Groot was presented with the shocking evidence
- CPD disrupts fragile, storm battered lakefront shoreline
- Sends cold, hungry and frightened migrant waterfowl aloft
- Demands COPA order forensic disciplinary team
Obviously the dude's "friends" didn't secure the cinderblocks properly.
Excellent ! Love our boys and girls in blue!!!
God bless and protect you as you protect us.
why wasn't there any pep in the cfd's step?
Thank you hero CPD officers. You all never get the praise that you so rightfully deserve. Tons of us Chicago residents know how truly heroic you all are. THANK YOU!
Retired and very grateful of all you do everyday and get a sheldon pat of the back by these commie elected officials. You good people have every right to be bitter.
The dog ass mutt house cats get the rewards From getting otj to making rank after rank.
Just look at that person of an unsound mind ex and fired supt.' wife. She could not lead a million ants to a ton of sugar five feet away.
You all get geared up for the wave as you drive by summer. They have no souls anyway!
I just saw it on Channel 7 National News,They didn't mention Police and said First Responders.
God Bless the CPD! Thank you to all first responders that put their lives on the line every tour of duty! You are true heroes!
Detailed to the United Center tonight, NBA entertainment entourage pull into parking lot. Verbal altercation with several occupants and United Center security. Parked their vehicle in a no parking area and walked away. Five firearms and drugs recovered from said vehicle. Nobody goes to jail. Unbelievable!!!

"People who annoy you?"
OT
Tonight at the United Center when Jennifer Hudson’s entourage car was being searched by K9, the occupants fled the car and they recovered 3 guns and drugs. The three were detained and a high ranking CPD boss said “NO CHARGES”. The whole incident was killed. True story. I was there.
WGN just told the story of the heroic rescue by CPD of the person who fell into Lake Michigan this weekend. WGN included the video of the rescue. God Bless all of you for protecting us. You are in my prayers and thoughts always.
Retired, I kept in My Squad a life preserver and a 50 foot throw rope, we were in many Life Saving Events.

Yet the mayor makes a statement about all the guns all the illegal guns, very very hypocritical typical Chicago liars.
Every car or at least a supervisor car that borders water should have a ring buoy or a throw bag in the trunk for any water type emergencies.
Google-me posted it on twitter. Nice job by all.
Great work CPD> Video on Police one.
nice work guys, but serious question, how do you fall into the lake
Newly promoted chief E.C. Squashed anybody getting locked up at last night’s basketball game. Guns and narcotics, everybody walks! 😉
Carter related that you just can’t go locking up individuals from the community just because they are in possession of guns and drugs. Wow! Do I feel dumb.
WGN has the video - hurray for the Swat officers that saved him! In the earlier video it looks like the guy is maybe drunk or something wandering along. The runner (I'm not sure why the hell you would be out there running on the ice in the freezing cold!> is freaked out and has no clue what to do - he must not have had a phone with him.
What's weird on the video is that the firetruck people seem to be walking around slowly and in no rush until the Swat guys go running.
Why the fuck do these fools walk along a frozen Lake Michigan?

Originally thought the same when I first saw the video but after reviewing the video it also was confirmed in the paper by the officers. The officers were walking along the wall and could see the swimmer in the water. It you look the CFD personnel were in the roadway and couldn’t see him because he was in the water below the wall and not visible from their position. As soon as they saw the SWAT guys go to grab him, they headed down
