Seven Cops Hurt

  • Seven Chicago police officers were injured during a brawl with a man who refused to leave a South Loop business on Saturday morning.

    The situation took place shortly after 11 a.m. in the 1300 block of South Wabash Avenue. Officers responded to a call of a disturbance in the lobby of the business, where someone complained that the suspect, a man, would not leave when asked to. A fight broke out when the suspect began fighting with the officers, one of whom injured his shoulder and knee and had to be taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital for treatment.

    Six other officers had minor injuries and were treated on the scene, police said.
Get well soon Officers.

"Seven Cops Hurt"

What the hell have they been teaching for
control tactics of late?

"How to Take An Assailant Into
Custody Without Injuring Him,
Hurting His Feelings or Causing
Alarm and Concern to the Public?"

Or did the Coppers in question do
a better job of hurting each other
than hurting the assailant?

Like back in the day...
There was ALWAYS some loose cannon
hot-headed idiot who ALWAYS managed
to lay another Copper's noggin open
with a Kel-Lite in a melee situation.

One such idiot famously got fed
a Kel-Lite in response by the
Copper he beaned.

Not EVERYBODY has to jump in.
Ok?

Full Recovery to all...

I’d bet any money that deescalation, force mitigation, and procedural justice probably played a part in the injuries. I hope no officer hesitated or second guessed them self when faced with an assailant.

hear you got a new FOP president. has quite the resume as the slun times described as oft-disciplined.

Catanzara was stripped of his police powers and assigned to administrative duty for filing a police report against now-fired police Supt. Eddie Johnson after Johnson marched arm-in-arm with the Rev. Michael Pfleger on the Dan Ryan Expressway.

Three years ago, Catanzara was reprimanded for posting a picture of himself on social media dressed in his police uniform holding an American flag and a homemade sign that read, “I stand for the anthem. I love the American flag. I support my President and the Second Amendment.”

hope you give that no good copa bitch all the hell you can muster. good luck.

That was Derrick King's old stomping ground. He was arrested about a hundred times right there for being the world's most aggressive panhandler. All you had to do was say "NO" and the game was on!! Richie's wife demanded that the liquor store there be shut down in an attempt to disperse the crowds that would gather, but it had no effect. They are simply tied to the land there. In 300 years if there are still mutts prowling the area, there will gather at Roosevelt and Wabash.

We thought at this point we did it good job none of us went to the hospital but we were battered, then he was violently kicking at the door what happened next was incredible the door hinge broke the door was hanging I will say it was an older wagon it was rusted fight was back on again finally got him into another wagon got him into the station throw Him and his cell, he fell sleep about 4 hours later check off time, Went into the cell area he was there he seemed a little better he said he had no clue what happened last thing he remembers he was out having a good time at a bar woke up at home and then he woke up here he had no history of anything I thought was maybe somebody gave him some stuff that he didn’t realize what it was and he flipped totally up

Your statement seems to come the closet to the truth. Not necessarily in jail, but surely suspended or stripped pending discharge. The liberals do not want the cops to actually hit someone, i.e. punch, use a baton on vulnerable parts . Cops must wrestle the subject down and subdue him/her. Yes, do not forget that the Chicago Public School teachers get to stay home in safety and they got a huge raise, pay next to nothing in their pensions and now will get the Summer off ( off from what I might add). Then add on the teacher's union hates you

Sure would like to know what started the fracas with the management. Lock out for non payment? Payroll dispute? Living out of a storage box? Had to be bullshit.

Those poe-leece should all be getting $1000 ANOVs for not social distancing after they get out of they’ hospitals (39,993 will be hospitalized if we don’t act deceive now).

Backing each other up is important, getting involved in bad business practices should be left to the parties involved until both can come to their own resolution.

I do not blame them for teaching that in the academy, or for cops who hesitate to put the hurt in someone who clearly needs it. I was a Cook County Sheriff's deputy, correctional officer, before this job. They taught you how to defend yourself with kicks, and other things, practiced one to two hours a day. CPD made fun of CCSheriff's Academy training,but I think all of their training was much better. But people think that's too aggressive. But that's better than being hurt. Many of the citizen's who criticize, probably have not been in a fight for a good long time. I know I haven't. But I do not criticize cops' actions.

When someone does NOT want to go, or does NOT want to be arrested,
it can end up like this.....whether effects of alcohol, drugs, or mental illness,
I have seen and felt the pain of trying to get someone like that under control.
Worse time of all was a 5’8” skinny kid....high on ???
Finally 6 of us got him handcuffed, and into the wagon.....
Got to the station, we are all at the back of the wagon, we open the door,
And out jumps this crazy guy who had broken apart the handcuffs!
Again, the fight was on.....took another 5 minutes to just get him down and carried
into the lockup......
So be easy on yesterday’s coppers.....it does happen....no matter how much training

Curious who will be backing up the 3,300 CDC Contact Tracers Pritzker plans to hire when shit goes sideways. Family members forcibly removed from their homes for not having enough toilets. Separating parents, kids to a quarantined facility.

Will this now be CPD problem to enforce? Is this why the National Guard tanks appeared in Chicago 2 months ago? How many ways can this go wrong?

At 1:30 is when the plans for these Contact Tracers really gets spicy

“Back sir” and “stop resisting sir” along with kids who grew up with their heads buried in iPads = seven cops getting hurt. There are not many real police left on this job. When fighting it’s exactly that... a fight. If the fight is on you may punch someone in the face.. for that matter punch them square in the nose. There is absolutely nothing wrong with saying on a TRR that you punched an offender during a fight. If you are loosing the fight then you better start winning the fight and not with department trained BS holding techniques and verbal judo.. punch someone and it will be articulated and justified on your TRR when you explain the totality of circumstances. This is pathetic. Learn to throw a punch kids or several punches at that. If it was ever justified to do so THIS is the exact case. The CPD has gotten soft as a pillow. I’m not saying to be a hard guy to beat everyone up.. it’s 2020, you can’t do that but in a brawl like this when you have body cameras showing this guy fighting and injuring officers during a fight then get down and dirty.. it’s justified and on camera.. do your thing and articulate why and ISE the video to your benefit.

Scary thought that the minimal training in the academy is what was relied upon. Once upon a time potential recruits had been through years of contact sports and/or military experience. Whatever is crammed through the limitations of the academy training schedule is not going to do more that indicate the preferred methods of escalation. We all know that reality isn't the same. Really hate to think that anyone goes into the field with nothing more than a combatitive module under their belt. No one teaches biting, spitting and scratching there.

All the best to those recovering. One question pops into mind, what about covid status?

For the idiot who said call a white shirt, grow a pair. You’re a grown adult. Make a decision. You’ve been trained and now when and how to use force, time as a tactic, verbal judo, end everything else under the sun when it comes to controlling a situation. No need to second guess what the officers on scene did or didn’t do. Has the current atmosphere effected how officers respond? Yes! It’s unfortunate that we all second guess our actions sometimes but don’t beat up on officers by talking shit. We are our own worst enemy sometimes. If they made mistakes on scene I sure someone already corrected them. Hope everyone recovers without any permanent damage.

The Academy used to have a class for recruits, Mechanics of an Arrest. It taught you how to take someone down, disarm them and cuff them. Knowing how to Mix It Up, with someone saved many from unnecessary injury. It taught recruits how to fight.

This is the result of politically correct hiring and promotion practices. Cops can't control the situation because hiring and training standards are lowered to foster "inclusion" in the ranks; thus the quality of force plummets. Same thing in CFD. Buildings that were once saved, or "stopped" from burning by competent, courageous firefighters, now elevate to extra alarms and burn to the ground because of the poor, lowered quality of force being hired and "passed" through the academy...next subject?

I've fought my entire life and was one of 8-10 officers injured from one offender back in the 90's. PCP is a wonderful thing. We beat the shit out of this guy where his parents felt it.
Didn't matter. Broke flex cuffs we had around his ankles type strength. I wasn't there for this episode so can't Monday morning quarterback what did or did not happen. We have become "soft" as a department (due to policy and public perception) and very few of us actually train for the job we have. I'd bet $$$ that if they took a survey in the academy of how many new officers have ever been in a fist-fight, I'm guessing with this new generation, it would be below 30%.

A smart feller could jigger this around to fit Chicago or Illinois politics. Just change the titles and names...

The Plan

In the beginning was The Plan.
And then came the assumptions.
And the assumptions were without form.
And the plan was without substance.

And darkness came upon the face of the workers.
And they spoke amongst themselves saying:
"It is a crock, and it stinketh mightily."

And the workers went unto their Supervisors and said,
"It is a pail of dung, and none may abide the odor therefore."
And the Supervisors went unto their Managers saying,
"It is a container of excrement, and it is very strong,
such that none may abide by it."

And the Managers went unto their Directors saying,
"It is a vessel for fertilizer, and none can abide by its strength."
And the Directors spoke amongst themselves, saying to one another,
"It contains that which aids plant growth, and is very strong."
And the Directors went unto the Vice Presidents saying,
"It promotes growth, and it is very powerful."

And the Vice Presidents went unto the President saying unto him,
"This new plan will actively promote the growth and vigor
of the company, with very powerful effects."

And the President looked upon The Plan and saw that it was good.
And the Plan became Policy.

This is how (SH-)IT happens.

I bet that not only would less cops have been injured but the suspect would have probably been less injured if the proper force had been used from the beginning of the incident.

When fights drag on, the chances of injury for everyone go up. One well-delivered baton strike or taser is a lot better than wrestling until someone's head cracks on the sidewalk.

Fuck that. Next time it should be 5 minutes at most, then "You're either leaving or getting arrested. And if you fight being arrested, you're getting shot. Now are you fucking leaving or what?"

5 minutes on the dot - have 7 or 8 officers all draw on this J/O. Get on the ground or get shot. You're under arrest, moron.

Two choices:

* Stop playing with people and arrest them
* Walk away from everything... fuck it. Guy wouldn't come with. What are we supposed to do boss? We de-escalated and all that...

Can't have both. At a certain point the criminals realize that THEY are truly in control of the situation and they could care less.

Chicago Cops are no longer the feared
and legendary blue collar ass-kickers
of years ago...

Tough, mean, nasty, flinty, hard-eyed,
heavy-fisted men who relished being on
the cutting edged of Policing and Law
Enforcement in Chicago.

Why?

Because criminals in Chicago are strong,
cunning, vicious, hyper-violent, evil,
pernicious and persistent.

There was a time when "regular" people
understood this and took pains to stay
out of the way and not try to insert
themselves and their "feels" into
Police Business when they saw The Police
taking care of business.

Nowadays, people feel real free and easy
to insert themselves into The Police
taking care of business because it "looks"
so scary to them.

"There's no reason for Cops to be so big
and strong."

"Why do Cops get to hit so hard?"

"It's not FAIR that Cops get to slap, stomp,
kick, elbow, gouge eyes, pull out hair/tear skin
and hit people with those hard sticks."

"Make the Cops back down, retreat and de-escalate!
Why do they have to be so fast and so aggressive
in taking control of conflict situations?"

"If only we can get The Police to be more
friendly and understanding!"

...Which is why seven Cops got hurt.

Kind of explains why the powers that be
don't want combat veterans and sons of
Patrolmen past coming on the job.

Doesn't it?

No tough-minded people who aren't afraid
or hesitant to put a defiant/resistant
criminal shit head on his back.

Note:
Shit head-ism knows no color or gender
and crosses all cultural boundaries.

Shit head needs to be laid-the-fuck-out
with all 12 front teeth missing and a
couple/three broken/dislocated bones
and patches of skin torn off for
fighting/injuring The Police.

Policing in Chicago is a nasty, vicious
and ugly business that can and will get
you KILLED if you're not vigilant and
aware of your surroundings.

Police Like You Have No Friends.

Go home to your families safe, sound
and unscathed.

The liberals and perpetual grievants
absolutely HATE the idea of Policemen
going all in to protect themselves.

They want to see "sacrifices" being made
by The Police.

It validates their giddy feel-goodery
and gives them a tingle...

The notion of Policemen "winning" these
street encounters causes them much
bewilderment and vexation.

Look.
Point & Laugh.
Leave.

This is the result of politically correct hiring and promotion practices. Cops can't control the situation because hiring and training standards are lowered to foster "inclusion" in the ranks; thus the quality of force plummets. Same thing in CFD.

Maybe all officers need to be trained in Actual control techniques, not the trash baby stuff they teach in the academy.

I do not blame them for teaching that in the academy, or for cops who hesitate to put the hurt in someone who clearly needs it. I was a Cook County Sheriff's deputy, correctional officer, before this job. They taught you how to defend yourself with kicks, and other things, practiced one to two hours a day. CPD made fun of CCSheriff's Academy training,but I think all of their training was much better. But people think that's too aggressive. But that's better than being hurt. Many of the citizen's who criticize, probably have not been in a fight for a good long time. I know I haven't. But I do not criticize cops' actions.

My point exactly as I posted before.. all you idiots rely too much on the taser and department tactics. LEARN TO FIGHT and inflict real pain. Take any asshole, no matter how high or “superhuman” and crack him in the nose and he will feel that no matter what. Take your night stick and crack his knee cap and his femur and you will see the fight in him decrease quite a bit. Stop with the taser and verbal command crap. If it’s not working then get down and dirty and start throwing real punches and get this guy knocked out. You can easily justify it in a TRR. Like I said in a previous post.. SOFT. And yes, I CAN Monday morning quarterback this because I’ve been on this job long enough where I have been in fights with bad people who were not going to go quietly and wanted to box. So, the coppers knew what to do and he went to jail and the hospital. The police always won and there was a reason for that. Now if the taser doesn’t work everyone yells stop sir and looks like a deer in headlights and like you just proved the only other think you know how to do is to try the taser again. Get in there and start punching. 7 cops throwing punches and landing good ones on this guy should have put in out but nobody knows how to do that anymore. Go charge your security blanket taser and practice your verbal judo because you are more terrified of possibly having to give a deposition instead of you or other coppers getting physically hurt. Put me at copa or at a civil suit and I’ll explain my actions all day long.. copa and civil court is all part of this job. Once you learn that you will be a better police officer and less of a puss.

Looked at the arrest report and the most “veteran” officer on scene of the 7 officers had only 5 years on. This was on days. Everyone else had less than three years with a few of them being PPOs. My point exactly. The department is hiring clueless individuals who don’t have a clue and don’t know how to fight. Why are kids with all less than 5 years on days in 001!!???!! This scenario is completely different with coppers with anywhere over 13-15 years on. Guy is in the hospital with minimal injuries if any to the officers. The video from the BWC should be shown in every roll call of what not to do and should be point number one of how to get yourselves and partners hurt on this job.

First of all, I see all these negative comments. It's easier said than done. If you weren't there why are you Monday morning quarterbacking. You can tell all the naysayers are the ones who have never been in a fight or an incident because it never goes as planned. How can you say what you would have done? If you ever have been in any BS, you should know you only have 1-2 seconds to make a decision which could cost you your life. It's sad people are responding with negative criticism. We should be glad that none of the officers didn't get seriously injured or killed. You guys don't get it, police officers are being criticized and ridiculed by their fellow officers for making good sound decisions. It's embarrassing police officers don't get any respect from other officers or the public. Have you guys attended enough police funerals within the last 4 years? No matter what police officers do, fellow officers will find something to say negatively. Furthermore, this is why the public don't respect or fear the police because they see and hear the negative criticism from other officers. Most of the naysayers are angry because they are in horrible districts and they can't bid out or make a phone call while the young officers are assigned to better districts.

Why do you think the LAPD looked so bad whacking the shit outta that shitbag Rod King. The optics on that looked bad cause you had to hit him 20-30 times and it still didn't do shit. Guaranteed 2-3 wooden baton strikes and the fight would have been taken outta him asap.

The liberal assholes gave us the ASP because they knew the wooden baton got shit under control and would put the hurt on guys. The ASP is a sissy tool.

Unlawful PASSIVE Resistance will be dealt with by Presence and Verbal Judo. Unlawful ACTIVE violent Resistance will be met with overwhelming and immediate and sustained VIOLENT lawful force.

The failure to use enough Force, early enough, in a fight invariably leads to excessive Force later on. The longer a Fight lasts the more time the Crook has to get lucky. Get it over with

Same thing with talking to the offender. The more you talk and the loner it goes on only empowers the offender

Reference 0925//12 MAY: We can verify this with ex Superintendent Beck. In 1991, when Rodney King ( on parole for Armed Robbery), and
( almost certainly) smoking marijuana joints dipped in PCP, was dealt with by LAPD, I believe ( not certain) LAPD used plastic/ “ polymer” PR24 side handle batons. I believe the “Gentle Giant” Mr King was first Tasered, before batons were used to effect arrest. While a plastic PR24 is better than a CPD ASP, there is NO substitute for a tropical hardwood, such as cocobolo or bubinga.

I took a 15 day suspension for going upside a fool's head with a flashlight who just tried to knock my head off. When I got him into handcuffs and stood him up, I knew what I had. His arms were solid. I asked him where he learned to box. Stateville is where he did his time, lifting weights and boxing. I DON'T REGRET FOR A MINUTE DOING THIS. Took the wife and kids on a nice vacation. Protect yourself at all times, as they say in boxing!

I've always said and taught that boxing is the primary method of control Going to the deck in a wrestling match put one in harm's way, and is something to know, but still to avoid. The same movements and instincts one learns with basic strikes keep us properly distanced, and should the wood have to be applied, the same movements can be used. And a con just out is probably at his most dangerous; well-conditioned and ready to rob/steal/whatever over whatever change a mark has in pocket.

A pretty sad situation here. Cops beat down by mayor, COPA, the revruns, aclu and judges, can’t do their job and wind up getting hurt.
Slow the fuck down when going to these calls. Back off at first sign of trouble and summons a white shirt. Let them put their neck on the chopping block. Fuck these assholes and go home alive and safe.

So when you hear fellow officers calling for help or 10-1 you are going to "slow the fuck down?" I was on for 32 years and never called for a white shirt on the street. I made my own decisions. Hope you never need help out there.


With all due respect, that's what you would have to do today, step back and call a supervisor. And they will call for a supervisor in a heartbeat if you say or do or don't do something they do not like.
Nowadays the first question COPA, IAD etc asks is if you called for a supervisor.
Cover yourself. It is a shame the job has come to that, but it has.

I have no problem with this as long as you can justify and articulate this, and many cops can't articulate well the 'what' and 'why'.
