Knife Attacker Shot, Killed

  • A man was shot and killed by Chicago police after allegedly lunging at a CPD sergeant with a knife Saturday in Vittum Park in Garfield Ridge.

    Officers were called about 1:40 a.m. for reports of a person stabbed near 49th Street and Lavergne Avenue, according to a police source. When they arrived, they saw a man holding a “long, large butcher knife.” In a statement, Chicago police said the suspect stabbed an officer in the protective vest before officers used a stun gun on him.

    The suspect dropped to his knees before removing the prongs and lunging at the female sergeant, the source said. Officers then shot the man multiple times, according to police. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Step-by-step:
  • Police responded to a stabbing - and found someone stabbed; 
  • Police found a man with a knife - who then stabbed an officer;
  • Despite being confronted with DEADLY FORCE, responding officer(s) - for whatever reason - used a NON-DEADLY FORCE option;
  • The Offender/Assailant removed the taser darts from his body and again ATTACKED a female sergeant;
  • Police shot the Assialant
This appears to be "de-escalation" to the point of endangering Officers' lives, which is not a good practice, but you can bet someone is going to whine about it.

The body cam video should be shown on national television so people can see how extremely dangerous a person with a knife is. The body cam video is disturbing to watch. To say the Sgt and Officers involved did a fantastic job is the understatement of the century. It’s a miracle the Sgt is alive. Thank God!!!

I wasn't there, haven't talked to anyone who would know said:

They didn't shoot sooner because they thought they would get in trouble for shooting someone
armed with "just" a knife. Victim park is not far from where JVD shot a youth with just a knife.

Apples to oranges comparison, but many cops have resolved not to shoot anyone with a knife
or baseball bat. This is bad thinking. It will get a cop killed.

Speaking of hero’s how about this one in 001. So I responded right out of roll call to a person shot in 001. I didn’t rush, trust me. A guy by the time I arrived gave three conflicting stories with a GSW to the leg. It was in an apartment complex. The officers, for some reason were searching the building for a possible offender. Zero info was given that would lead anyone to believe that an offender was still on scene but good ole 161 decided to take charge.. sort of. 161 wanted to do a full cavity search of a building for a guy shot in the leg who gave three conflicting stories. 161 decided to make this a SWAT incident with ZERO info that would even suggest an offender may be on scene. So, now the captain, commander, area deputy chief, all of swat and the street deputy need to come out along with the SORT car, command post and weapons bus because 161 wants to be the guy in charge. Guess what was found out by BLUE SHIRTS??? He shot himself. Simply relaxing, taking your time and using your head could have avoided a massive response by everyone for this guy to play supervisor. Swat was not needed at all even though their help was greatly appreciated but a full blown swat incident want needed. But 161 needed to be recognized. Well, it was all BS and the victim accidently shot himself in the leg. 161, embarrassed again but what do you expect from a boot licker probable merit sgt.

The demoRats don’t care about officer safety when they came up with de-escalation. The demoRats only care about saving the lives of those who experience the consequences of making wrong life choices. The police are an impediment to demoRat and leftist control.

It'll be the usual perpetually aggrieved peoples an' folkses
temper tantrum-ing and exhibition in ass showing, dick

for media consumption and prevailing narrative purposes...

The only thing missing is that such being openly consummated
on a pissy, shitty, vermin-ridden mattress in the basement
doorway of a Memphis-Town burn-out, the Chicago city
council floor or in any local media editorial boardroom.

Good Job By The Police...

It's fine and perfectly legal to knock a death-loving,
society-hating demon spawn's dick, permanently
in the dirt to protect yourselves and yourselves ONLY.

"WAH! Why are you Cops STILL being hostile,
mean and nasty? We thought "Police Reform"
was supposed to make you guys stop doing that
warrior cop stuff and be docile, friendly and
non-threatening!"

Guerilla (GO-rilla) Policing keeps you alive
to go home to your families.

Fuck these liberal knee-walkers and their dearly held
expectations of "noble and selfless sacrifice" by
Policemen to keep the tender liberal asses from
between the teeth of the evil, vile and vicious
monsters THEY had a hand in creating.

"Please don't eat us first" is only applicable as long
as there are Policemen naive, gullible, stupid and soft
enough to insert themselves between the liberals and the
foul shit they created.

Pay no heed to their shrill and
frantic screams for help.

Harden your hearts and let THEM finally have a taste
of what's out here in the real world...

Heh!

Watch them puke, shit, piss, cry and
try to run and get away...

How much FIGHT do you have in you?

The metropolitan progressive collectivist
democrats are in mortal fear of:

-Every sovereign man, according to what
his conscience can bear and that which
will allow him to stand before his Maker
in hope of merciful judgement-

They'll be exposed as the sadly lacking
creatures they KNOW they are.

"URK! Why are you Cops so angry and hostile
toward US? Aren't there RULES against you
being that way? Stop it! You're scaring us!"

That's the problem...
So many of you have lived your lives untouched by the evil
and ill will that strides this world like a natural man
and it's made you gleefully ignorant and bereft of
self reflection.

If such were not so,
we wouldn't be dealing with:

"The Police are what's wrong with Chicago,
once we fix THEM, everything else will fall
in place."

Fortunately for the police, the offender had already stabbed one person who was not a police officer. This will make it more difficult for the lamestream media to protest them as an innocent victim. It would be better for the officers if the first stabbing victim dies so that the police can argue that they shot a murder suspect rather than an agrevated assault suspect. It would have been even better for the police of the subject had stabbed and killed multiple victims property to being shot. Note to police officers everywhere, when confronted with an armed subject that is using deadly force against people, allow them to run up there body count before interfering.

Like, What Would Lori Lightfoots Private Security Force Do?.....when a man, who had just stabbed someone else,
advanced on da mayor with that same man ready to stab her? With his 10 inch butcher knife? And DOES stab her?
Call for a social worker?
Mental health worker? Call for a De-escalation time-out?
Perhaps a peace circle and prayer moment?
One would hope that they too would have the skill and training to do what unfortunately sometimes they may be forced to do.

Just release the video of the asshole grabbing the sergeant by her vest as he continuously stabbed her vest before they had to light him up. Right or wrong just release all the videos within 72 hours. They were thrilled when the city agreed to release them within 60 days, now they want them sooner. It’s easier to just release them. It’s not worth the accusations that the officers murdered these pieces of shit.

Btw, does this case remind anyone of another case in which a man with a knife ran wild in the 008th District on midnights before being shot by the police?

He was one of those unarmed attackers with a knife who should have been shot in the leg!

Do these tasers work? Do they work on drug induced, criminal minded individuals in a fit of rage? Everytime I hear these stories it is either they don't work or they just flip them off like they are the Terminator. From the way most people see it, criminals need to get a little dirty and bloody to protect their lives as well as the public. Split second decisions, no room for error, going home or taking a dirt nap.
All those people so critical of the police, think for a second what they do: they get calls from parts of the city, have to de-escalate domestic situations, people always on edge, and everyone's blood is pumping, etc., You might be in a situation like this once or twice in your life where you break up a fight or something but cops expect to do it almost daily, sometimes multiple times during a shift, I can't imagine how physical, mentally, and spiritually draining your job must be. We pray for you all in blue.

Can I ask you officers, what happens after an incident like this when you are placed on "administrative desk duty for 30 days while they review the case." Are you being punished by this move, is it a job everyone tries to avoid?

In that time period, I guess it depends on the case, (I'm not talking about some major case, just basically the taser, wrestling someone to the ground, or discharging a weapon) are you being interviewed by lawyers, how are you meant to feel? Does this go on your permanent record and does it make a difference? Just curious.

You’re probably correct. But it’s also possible(but unusual)that the media may have the details of the incident and feel that the offender was in the wrong. If that’s the case they won’t report his race if he’s black either. The media has to do their race and incident analysis before telling the story. Then they determine how to report it.

I, as a total civilian, not military and not authoritarian am soo sick of this (anti-cop chit). Hug-a-thug does not help civilians including po' folk, that's equating criminality with lack of money.

IMO - not from experience, this in Joe Public speaking - when cops do use excessive force it's over a minor offense or perceived offense, it's on someone other than a habitual criminal and it's either because they're stressed out or it's the 5% in any company who should be working somewhere else. My guess is that in the case of real criminals, cops know perp is going in for felony charges, the defense lawyers know the perp and street knowledge includes 7 different ways to file excessive force complaints, 80% of which are fake. Thus, real criminals get by-the-book handling.

That said:

Known felon attacking LEO with a knife? Put'm on ice. He (or she, xe, xat, or batchit) will do it again to the next soft target. If they know where to stab (like they teach in prison), it's more fatal than bullets.

How royals and top politicians could become sitting ducks: VIPs' police bodyguards are forced to swap guns for Tasers in 'cost-cutting' move that strips them of high-level protection, damning report reveals

"The Federation report – also endorsed by officers based at Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle – spells out the dangers facing those involved in the close protection of VIPs or on the frontline.

‘We are living in times of unprecedented uncertainty around terrorist threats,’ it says. ‘In a hostile, premeditated attack on a Principal with intent to cause death or serious injury, the most likely weapon of choice would be a knife or other pointed or bladed article.

"Taser, ASP (expandable batons) or CS spray are not fit for purpose to defend against an attack of this nature."

I know there is alot of variation in police practices from small towns to major urban areas, but if this Rochester situation took place in Chicago, with the whole Coronavirus still a big unknown, how would a Chicago Police officer handled it? Was the mesh hoods something that was dispatched at the onset of Coronavirus or was it something you always have at your disposal? How could he die from asphixation if he can breath? How do you handle someone who is spitting at you, especially if there is a bunch of community members recording your every move? The mesh hood, correct?

All these upcoming rappers are incorporating the line " 7 bullets to the back" in the Blake Murder. To the civilian who doesn't own a gun or know little about what you do, was this an excessive amount of gunfire for the situation? The reason I'm asking is to try to defend some of my liberal friends who keep bringing it up over and over not taking in the whole situation and basically disregarding the whole notion of him reaching for the gun.

Was he shot 7 times in the back, or was he shot or grazed in the legs, butt, etc., Are you trained to keep shooting until the actions of the criminal (going for the gun) has stopped? I think most people think that police or using single shot revolvers, like their is this conscious pause, before every shot is taken, and I think that misconception really needs to be clarified to the public.

Prepare yourself for the well orchestrated stories like the one released by the Atlantic on Thursday that had the whole Democratic Machine working on all fronts. It looks like they might get back on the Russia thing to put more question marks when Trump wins on November 3. They want to have all possible angles covered and into the MSM DNA so they can flood the masses with misinformation. Summary below of the Atlantic story from Briebart below:

What we witnessed Thursday night into Friday morning was the deployment of the Death Star — the full Democrat-media complex on display, coordinating journalists, outside political organizations, tech platforms, and unnamed military sources.

It may be no coincidence that retired Gen. Stanley McChrystal — who was fired, ironically, because he had disparaged President Barack Obama and Biden — now advises a firm using military technology to help Democrats produce propaganda.

It took weapons-grade skill to produce a story that, while unprovable, had the ring of truth to those eager to believe it (it “resonates,” said NBC’s Peter Alexander, whether it was true or not) and to make it the dominant story of the news cycle — on a day when the jobs market rebounded and Trump brokered a historic deal between Israel and Muslim-majority Kosovo.

Goldberg — the unofficial stenographer of the Obama White House — was just a vehicle. The real story is much bigger.

The same machine that created and promoted The Atlantic piece will be sure to produce others.

You can’t taser someone with a knife. He might fall on it. Sergeant will probably get a Copa CR# and get suspended.

That knife looks like something for commercial use so it probably had a sharp edge. In the photo it also appears to have belt-sander type serrations, good for getting through large cuts of meat. Knives go through vests, as that unfortunate London cop found out. He had a stab vest and no gun, then he had a Jihad stab and no life.

My 2c from regular, not-a-hero, not-a-ninja perspective: You'd be a fool to use a Taser against that. Head shot or you die.

This has been a long time coming...not just in recent volatile times. the police, in general, are second guessing themselves out of fear. then you have the wannabe police on this job that would never (or never have) used force on someone let alone pulled their firearm from the holster other than at qualifications. please don't let fear get you, your partners or an innocent person killed.

it was a long time ago but I want someone to refresh my memory about the use of force continuum: where does it say that a less lethal method should be used on a jag off with a knife in close proximity who already stabbed a copper? please post your reply. I really want to know because I must've been doing it wrong for a very long time.

by the way, surprised there wasn't the "Anyone with further information concerning this incident or to offer condolences to the decedent's family should call 312-746-3609"

This the society they wanted where there is zero respect or any fear of the law enforcers. Fuck that have your body cam on and do what is within your legal right to defend yourself or save another’s life. Go home at the end of the day same way you came in. We accept that we risk our lives, that’s part of the job. We never agreed to be willing targets. This will continue to get worse as we hold back and criminals fear us less and less. Only option is to not even engage in the first place. Let some social justice warrior handle that situation. Let them get stabbed.

This was extremely dangerous to the officers. Using less than lethal means against the attempt of deadly force was against the policy of the department I was a part of. With the evidence that tasers do not work consistently as in the Blake case, one in Louisiana, and this one, hopefully officers will not entrust their lives to them when faced with an offender using deadly force. Tasers are a get tool, but they are not a tool to use when the officer is faced with deadly force.

CCSA Kim Foxx, the aclu, copa/gapa, the mierda media,
antifa, #blm, liberal democrat progressives and large
democrat-controlled urban center slave plantation
politicians ALL SAY that a knife (or other hand-held
implement) IS NOT to be considered a "deadly weapon"
capable of inflicting grievous bodily harm and/or
death upon Police Officers.

Particularly when said hand-held implement is wielded
by an "oppressed," perpetually aggrieved but nonetheless
hateful and revenge-seeking person-of-color...

No?

"Why didn't you RETREAT and DE-ESCALATE
the situation, Officer?"

"Why didn't you WAIT for a supervisor and
additional units?"

"Why did you FEEL THE NEED TO SO QUICKLY RESORT
TO YOUR FIREARM before using and exhausting ALL
of the other non-lethal options available to you?"

(COPA interview)

Answers in the realm of: "Because SHIT was ALREADY
TURNED FAT-END-FIRST when WE pulled up to the scene,"
tend to make COPA "investigators" ANGRY and very desirous
of "gettin' a cee-arra-numba on yo' ass!"

Genuine Police insight and honesty is an indicator
of "dishonesty" in THEIR nasty little echo chamber.

The crooked dies of "jurisprudence" and "legal precedent"
have already been cast (and Policemen financially ruined,
terminated and imprisoned as "proof" that "reform" works)
with the predetermination that ANY Police Officer who
defaults to their training and resorts to counter narrative/
LEGALLY and ADMINISTRATIVELY PERMISSIBLE
"reasonable man" common sense self defense, WILL
be dragged up the lamp post of pretextual, agenda-driven
public outrage and subjected to the hateful revenge
that is the peoples/folkses justice.

THEY, call it "Police Reform & Accountability."

WE call it the settling of political and cultural scores...

And if you resist, hold a differing opinion
or advocate for reasonable adult oversight
into such without the clear-as-shit-mud
political, social and cultural construct
of "Feelings" driving such oversight?

You're a RACIST...

More of these staged hit pieces to come in the future. Take everything from this point on with a very critical eye and point out the fallacies when people run with these lies without any fact checking. Orwell has warned us:

In 1942, George Orwell wrote:

Early in life I have noticed that no event is ever correctly reported in a newspaper, but in Spain, for the first time, I saw newspaper reports which did not bear any relation to the facts, not even the relationship which is implied in an ordinary lie. I saw great battles reported where there had been no fighting, and complete silence where hundreds of men had been killed. I saw troops who had fought bravely denounced as cowards and traitors, and others who had never seen a shot fired hailed as the heroes of imaginary victories; and I saw newspapers in London retailing these lies and eager intellectuals building emotional superstructures over events that had never happened. I saw, in fact, history being written not in terms of what happened but of what ought to have happened according to various ‘party lines’.

Orwell would later develop this insight in his novel 1984, where the ruling party rewrote history as needed for its interests. “Who controls the past controls the future,” he wrote.

Orwell’s warning is particularly relevant as America confronts a wave of fake news, and an assault on history — not just statues and symbols, but on the teaching of history itself.

The New York Times, supposedly the “paper of record,” won the Pulitzer Prize for journalism this year for the lead essay in the “1619 Project,” even though it had to be corrected after historians said its central contention — that slavery motivated the American Revolution — was wrong.

But lunging at someone with a knife is not the same thing as trying to stab them. You can't use deadly force against someone for merely holding a knife. Besides, CPD is merely alleging that these hereby stated occurrences happened. Furthermore, the quite possibly white Chicago police officer was trying to take a plausibly Black Man's knife by use of a taser, which is in itself robbery. Ask the Chicago Sun Times - they know. Black Knives Matter!

Look for wholesale suppression of conservative opinion during the final stretch approaching the election and incredibly false stories that will leave no time to possibly refute the truth of it. Big Tech is all in and they will censor anything that is not positive for the party. The will blame it on AI and algorithms.

These algorithms are being taught, by Big Tech’s most anti-Trump employees, that “abusive” behavior includes things like “hate speech,” “misinformation,” the posting of “conspiracy theories,” and other behaviors subject to highly political definitions.

The source also alleges that an account’s “quality” score can be lowered simply by following or sharing material from other accounts considered “abusive,” allowing algorithms to censor entire networks of people at the same time.

The insider goes on to explain how these algorithms are being rolled out across multiple tech platforms, and will result in the wholesale suppression of the Trump movement — just in time for the election.

I'm so sick of people knowing how to do our job from their freaking ivory towers! How has law and order been diminished to such an unnecessary thing!

NEVER use non lethal force against a lethal threat! Ever! A knife is lethal force, especially when the knife has recently been used to stab/ cut someone. By the time/ distance you can use a Taser, the Bad Guy is too close. Even if you get a good hit, the forward momentum of a running/ lunging knifeman means you can still get cut/ stabbed. A 6 foot man can lunge, from a stationary standing position about 9 feet: the length of his body ( 6 feet) plus the length of his knife arm ( about 3 feet). Once you are faced with lethal force, you CANNOT de escalate your way out of it. When facing a non lethal threat, keep your distance and de escalate all you can— but NOT when facing a knife!

As far as the question "Was 7 shots to the back reasonable?" You shoot to stop the threat. In other words if he is still doing whatever caused you to shoot in the first place, you keep shooting. That used to be the standard.

However JVD shot an armed man after he made a sudden move. He never dropped the knife, a knife he had stabbed a tire with earlier so everyone knew it was real. I never understood all the outrage. JVD told McD to drop it, He didn't. JVD started shooting, McD did not drop the knife. Either he was resisting a lawful order or he was dead. Everyone freaked out about the number of shots, I thought that was bullshit. You shoot to stop the threat, McD was still a threat.

Had Rham not hidden the tape and had JVD been granted a change of venue he might have beat the charges.
Now all bets are off. The "reasonable man" doesn't work when the average person is an idiot who believes whatever the media tells them.

I keep hearing people say the cops should have let Blake just get in his car with his kids and drive away. Those same people would be calling for the cop's heads if Blake would have harmed his kids, something that happens often in domestics.

You’re probably correct. But it’s also possible(but unusual)that the media may have the details of the incident and feel that the offender was in the wrong. If that’s the case they won’t report his race if he’s black either. The media has to do their race and incident analysis before telling the story. Then they determine how to report it.


Offender was black. Sgt is white so of course the media won’t mention it.

Why not ask the officers that were actually in the apartment? I'll take a merit sgt that cares about officer safety any day over someone that brags about not rushing to an active scene like that.
