Rush to Judg...Wait a Second
Gee, this seems to be EXACTLY the argument that we, police unions nationwide and assorted other intelligent people have made for years now:
- Now that a second, more complete video has surfaced of a June 11 punch-throwing fight between two CTA employees and a bus rider, we hope the transit agency and prosecutors thoroughly review every decision they have made since then.
[...] The CTA and law officers may have more information than is now public upon which to base their decisions. But the more complete video suggests this is a case that needs a careful reappraisal, especially the criminal charges.
At about 25 seconds into the longer video, Madden gets off the CTA bus near 77th and Western. At about 27 seconds, he appears to take a swing at Andrews. At about 30 seconds, Andrews appears to respond by kicking and punching Madden. At about 1 minute and 19 seconds, Williams enters the scene and, four seconds later, picks up Madden and body slams him to the pavement. At about 1 minute and 50 seconds, a motorist gets out of a car and kicks Madden as Madden is trying to get back on his feet.
Even the longer video does not tell the full story. There’s still not enough context.
Golly. And the CTA fired both of these guys and they are facing charges.....as evidence continues to surface that essentially clears and justifies their actions.

They obviously failed to de-escalate, create distance, use time as a tactic, tactical positioning, and all sorts of other feel-good nonsense.
Not sure how CTA drivers can “go fetal,” but maybe they should?
Sarc/off
OT
New News out on OAN network. Should be all over the place tomorrow. It's about Floyd's interaction with the cops.
Bosses and ASA's reviewed the camera footage and decided the TRR's done by the CTA workers were not completed properly to justify their actions. Hence the immediate separation and charges. Oh wait, they don't have that policy. What do you think will happen to you? We have to use force to affect an arrest. But if someone resists...... Understand the times we are in. Back Blue and go home safe. But be ready for the consequences
Sue.
Sue for wrongful termination.
Sue for defamation.
Make them weep.
CTA - whether by Bus or Train became a fight club and place to start out your criminal career. From smoking on CTA property to murders, it all goes on. I was at a community meeting with a open mic someone told the Mayor there is sexual predators on the CTA Red Line. I’m that didn’t stop. It is as if the whole city woke up and took crazy pills.
Sheriff Tom Dart today on the news said; the jail is doing a great job with Social Distancing, the jail is down to 4,800 inmates. He is so proud. That means they (criminals) are walking among us. He sad they are utilizing empty cell blocks to keep prisoners proper distance from each other. Unbelievable! Was on channel 32, @9pm.
Everytime i work the CTA detail, their employees are the nicest. Both of these men deserve their jobs back.
Wait a minute, CPD trains with CTA learning to drive buses, CTA thus is an extension of CPD. Hence they are GUILTY by association
Anyone who’s gotten their ass beat in Chicago— likely had it coming and it was paid in full. But this dude will still collect some cash if Groot has his way. 15k Atleast... the guy can’t eat a decent meal and he got stop by 3 individuals. Those 3 men in my book are American heros on the front line pushing the scourge of communism backward at freedoms frontier
About to relieve big fat checks from city and their jobs back.. lovey And Lovey to the rescue.
it is cray cray that Foxxxxxx event pressed charges... Something has gotta happen to where legislation is make that a victim can sue these shit ball activist ASAs.
I bet those 2 former Bus drivers are spending a shit ton of money on lawyers... and these should sue that asshole from the bus... if he can pay, once again, do legislation that puts his ass in jail
That is what’s called a Matlock moment!
For years now the media leads with that one little sound bite or video snippet!
They call it transparency, In the name of the public good? But they failed this time!
Because we call it a RUSH TO JUDGMENT!
In the past few years with the start of body cameras and cell phone video, he’ll even the Bobby Rush coffee and popcorn scandal!
The media get on that train with that small amount of information and shows it to the public.
The citizens are appalled by it!
The Elected officials are calling for mass firing and criminal indictments!
All the way to Washington DC........
Then the entire video is released or medical examiners report comes out and shows the entire first story is NOT TRUE!
But where does that story go? Nowhere!
So it now gets buried in the back pages or clarification page Where no one hears it or reads it!
What is more shameful is the term Absence of Malice, look it up!
This is when media thought they were telling the truth but instead did not have any business telling anything about anything!
Now let’s watch the CTA and CPD twist in the wind as the law suits come to bear on the matter?
If it bleeds, it leads!
Video of CTA drivers defending themselves would never lead the News Cycle!
But the story of a CTA driver body slamming a citizen.........wow!
And you see whe you get?
False NEWS
.... but if the police aren't allowed to defend themselves when attacked, why should CTA employees be afforded that right? Perhaps the drivers should have offered to pick up some trash, mow his lawn, or shine his shoes, then Groot could trot them out as fine examples of "community bussing" - but wait, do I see no masks? How DARE you!!
Can't wait until someone finds an editorial from the very same paper saying that there is no justification for a cop shown in a context-less video punching someone
Evidence? The CCSA office isn’t looking for evidence - they don’t give a f*ck. It’s all about the narrative.
Gee go figure. Another half ass job done investigating a so called crime by the States Attorney's Office.
The CTA union should step up for their two members. Krimeesha is on the criminals side plain and simple and so is the clown. The both of them are police haters!
lO fucking L...talk about the KARMA BUSS pulling up!!! Oh also the SlumTimes article was a joke. Once again seemingly written by a 12 year old school newspaper reporter.
Any follow-up on the uniformed CTA female employee who tweeted out to ‘ Kill All Mexicans?’ Happened right after the Lori Lightfoot Lootings. That story disappeared from the city ‘news’ cycle...
great investigation, just great
There's still not enough context?! It was obvious from the first video that Williams was defending his co-worker from an attacker. Madden is in a fighting stance with his hands up. The City should be giving these guys awards, not firing and prosecuting them.
No one even remembers the press purposely deleted key portions of the Rodney King video to make it seem like the police acted inappropriately when in fact they were a model of restraint. The full George Floyd video is not being released, but will be available for "private viewing." I wonder why.
This two CTA bus drivers got railroaded! Working class blacks are finding out that the Leftist Communists hate them as much as whitey.
The one bus driver would make a great PO!
Is there a 10-1 or Go Fund Me for these two? If so, I’ll gladly donate.
Very unfortunate these two got fired before a complete investigation was conducted.
What’s gonna bite them in the ass is they should have held the guy til police arrived and pressed charges for battery.
Have you noticed,? I have not heard a peep out of their union.
Any chance of fast tracking the cta driver who did the body slam thru the academy and me getting him as a partner?
Under Kim Foxxx, the good get prosecuted while the bad run wild.
"Restorative justice"
This is what happens when the Social Justice Warriors are charged with making decisions that normally would be made by grownups.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Madden was just excited to get back home after attending bible classes most of the day. He knew his offspring must be missing him by now and wanted to get back before they went to bed so he could read them bedtime stories.
Motorists are stopping to get out and kick Madden. Now that’s funny. Must be quite the guy in the community. Reminds me of the father in Shameless.
If the bus driver's lawyers have any brains they will sue the " victim" and get a judgment on any money HE collects.
Just because your the last one the crocodile eats doesn't mean you still don't get eaten. Its at a point where your just better off paying full freight for the CTA. Flashing the star just isn't worth it anymore.
I'd rather ride a Ghetto Gangster Horse then take CTA anyways.
Not every CTA worker loves the police, mostly the ones sitting their asses in the booths, doing nothing and turning a blind eye. But many that do their jobs and have to put up with the assholes and nonsense appreciate the police. These guys don’t deserve to be fired. What, are they just supposed to allow themselves to be victims? That is truly what the democratic socialist agenda is... to have people succumb to a helpless, victim mentality, so they can swoop in and govern more. That’s what some of these idiot liberals don’t get, bait and switch. Give you the illusion that all is free and unoppressive in a liberal world (no bail, get out of jail free, legal weed, abortions up until birth). Then as chaos ensues, they clamp down with their version of the world...no more free speech, federal police state, stand in line for what the government wants to dole out to you, etc etc.
Two wrongs don't make a right!
But in the case of drunken assholes, three lefts and a right will usually solve the problem.
PS. That bodyslam was epic. I'll bet that guy tasted his own asshole.
CTA Bus Drivers shouldn't be fired, over a fight. ☹️
It's alternative universe where wrong is right and right is wrong .....Get used to it
so when is the cta employee that said all Mexicans should be killed going to be fired?
With members of the general public acting more unruly than ever. Do CTA members really get any training on how to handle this type of situation. I’m not sure if postal workers still get mace? CTA have nothing! With no training for this.
Those guys deserve a slap on the wrist at worst. Body slam guy deserves a beer or three. They should get their jobs back.
Protected Employees law....wuz’dat?
Cook County says nobody can protect themselves and must allow the violent feral to proceed with their intended beat down, robbery, while armed or not. Standing your ground and defending yourself is an aggression.
follow the alphabet
FU KF LL JB
Welcome to how it feels like to be a cop.
Doesn’t matter. They were still criminally charged by CPD detectives. The CPD will still take the hit for this “wrongful arrest” that they are about to file when they beat this.
Crimeshia is an absolute clown!!! These CTA employees shouldve gotten an award. GOD Bless them both and i hope everything works out for them.
WTF is going on with pd's across the country with coppers arresting the good guys in conflicts with assholes? Dont they know they defend Antifa and other assorted liberal assholes instead of law abiding people. You guys/girls doing this shit better take a long look in the mirror and start doig the right thing when you come upon calls like this.
