Officer Down (Updates)

Details still sketchy, but the Officer has been declared deceased:

  • A Chicago police officer was fatally shot Monday night in the Chatham neighborhood, and another person was later found dead at the shooting scene, sources said.

    The shooting was reported during an officer-in-distress call shortly after 8 p.m. in the 8000 block of South Ingleside Avenue, according to police radio traffic.

    Microphones peaked as officers screamed into their radios while the chaos unfolded and a radio dispatcher tried to pin down the location of the officer who was shot.

The usual midnight posting will be delayed due to the ongoing incident.

UPDATE: Officer Enrique Martinez, age 26, was just shy of three years on the job when he was killed during a traffic stop.

UPDATE: Killer and one accomplice in custody, second accomplice dead, gun recovered.

UPDATE: Traffic stop and shooter killed his own companion while attacking Officer Martinez:

  • As officers approached the vehicle one of the occupants opened fire on Martinez, Snelling said, adding that “it sounded like rapid fire.” The officer was struck multiple times. One of the occupants of the vehicle was also struck and killed by the gunfire.

RIP Officer.

UPDATE: We understand that word filters down slowly through a huge bureaucracy like the Chicago Police Department. And we understand that the job must move forward at all times - calls must be answered, service must be given to those in need. But in cases like today, can't the Department show just a tiny little bit of common sense and read the fucking room?

  • Inspector showed up at Area 1 to conduct stand up Roll Call Inspection.

Even if it was Winter Inspection, give us a break. Some things can wait a day or two. God forbid an Inspector might have to work on a Saturday to do a make-up inspection.

Saw the Twitter video.. horrible. I pray for this kids soul. To the other officers on scene, stop screaming into the radio and yelling oh my god, you squeeze off every round into that car turning it into Swiss cheese and u til the offender is dead or incapacitated. Unfortunatly our horrible training and obsession with slow playing and de escalating every situation has made it nearly impossible for an officer to make a split second decision when to shoot and feel justified in doing so. His partners after that burst came out should have pumped it with every round.. instead they are yelling oh my god and screaming into the radio 10-1.. handle business first, then get to the radio. Too many new people when shots are fired go to the radio first and the trigger last..

The SAFE-T Act is a failure. Progressive Socialist Democrats in Chicago, Cook County, and Illinois have this young officer’s blood on their hands. They knew the SAFE-T Act allows criminals to remain free time and time again. JB Pritzker, Kwame Raoul, Brandon Johnson, Toni Preckwinkle, Kim Foxx, Tom Dart, Judge Tim Evans are just some of the politicians who pushed through the SAFE-T Act of sat by in silence. 100 Illinois States Attorneys and county Sheriffs opposed the SAFE-T Act and even filed a lawsuit to stop it. The media reports on a fraction of the crime daily, but never states the obvious…that criminals are not being held accountable due to Progressive Socialist Democrats warped social justice policies and laws. And then there are the criminals themselves. Running feral in our streets. Fleeing daily from Chicago PD, State Police, Suburban Police, and Wisconsin and Indiana Police. Illinois, especially Chicago and Cook County, is a nest for these criminals. I believe the lack of accountability is creating criminals out of children who would never had committed crimes had it not been for the lack of accountability by the SAFE-T Act and the pos politicians who keep it going. Then there are the voters. The voters who keep electing the politicians who allow this criminality to continue. The voters who are duped into voting for abortion in a state where it isn’t under threat of disappearing. The voters who vote for LGBTQ rights where the rights aren’t being violated. The voters who didn’t rebel against the same politicians who brought us the SAFE-T Act. Now we get to hear the same politicians and media act sullen for days until the officer is buried. Then it will be back to normal. God bless this officer and his family. We appreciate your sacrifice. God bless all officers who continue to be a living thin blue line of people who stand between civilization and chaos.

Crime is not about race, not about racism; it's about bad people doing bad things, now empowered and very much enabled by progressive-liberals in Democratic Party Machine.

Beyond that it's about seeing if there were gunshots in the area prior so they have an idea of what's going on in that area. Information that could've been used to help these guys make sure they had a ton of pos in the area was stripped from them over politics and that in itself should be enough if we had strong leaders to make sure city council knows about it to their faces. Instead we will have more of this happen until common sense comes back into city hall.

Lack of institutional knowledge has also contributed to just how fucked up CPD is… kids with three years on the job as FTO’s and playing supercop on tactical units.

The shooting makes me boil for two reasons. First, the neighborhood where it took place was once a nice, working class area. Now, it's a crap hole. Second, the audio proves the officers saw the perp reaching for something. The officers likely hesitated because they didn't want to catch a beef from COPA. In fact, a cop once told me officers are freezing up on the street. The dead officer didn't have a chance. RIP to him. My sympathies to his friends and loved ones.

Sad to say but you are true. Don’t worry about the radio, I’ve watched videos of 3 or 4 officers at the same time trying to yell 10-1 into the radio during an active gunfight. Start shooting. As for training I agree. Even when an officer shoots they still don’t know if they are justified or not. That’s not just training but also from the news and copa firing officers on justified shootings. All of that makes an officer hesitate. It’s a hard truth you wrote but it’s a truth.

You can thank Auntie Kim’s office for going soft on those. Officers having been charging with the additional felony when they’ve gotten those guns with the button on them. Her office has methodically thrown them out asking if officers “test fired” the weapon. Where’s that supposed to happen? With what resources? Additionally, her policy to not prosecute guns tied to minor traffic stops is as much to blame for keeping these offenders out there. 70% of gun cases brought had ties to Minor traffic stops. Kim Foxx is effectively a murderer.

These kids in the academy don’t have anything but these kind of classes being taught by officers and sergeants that refuse to work the streets (the bitching for the three or four times a year they have to come out to play police is epic).

Personally, I don't think that this is the time or place to talk about procedure, politicians, partners and policy etc. At this point please just join me in prayers for our deceased brother. There will eventually be a more appropriate time in which to sort out the details and offer opinion, but for now let us respect the lost soul of Chicago Police Officer Enrique Martinez...
"Chicago's Finest."
Rest now in peace our brother, until we meet again.

Including Kamala Harris voters on this job who sit their fat asses inside, comfy behind a desk working Monday to Friday 8 to 4. I’ve met enough of them. The same person who bailed out rioters who’d have just as much pissed on any officer’s grave and you have officers on this job voting for her because they can’t think a logical thought for themselves. They’re voting for her because of identity politics and or TDS.

The officer did not stand a chance that was a Glock 18. It is illegal to import, and illegal to own. But they are very popular with Mexican drug cartels. Are we going to find out the shooter was a illegal from a south of the border gang?

First of all, prayers to the fallen officer, his partners, and his loved ones.

Second of all, I agree with this post. And I do have a few OIS incidents under my belt.
The time for action is the time for action.
Nothing good happens when during an active shooting incident you choose to become a witness and relay information.
Get into the game, or get out of the way. It takes one of your hands to operate the radio, which you may need to, oh I dunno, return fire?

Give the play by play when there’s a safe break in the action to do so.
File this under things they aren’t teaching in the academy anymore.

Year after year it never ends and I don’t believe it will. How do cops not see the writing on the wall. Criminals are in control and police officers are handcuffed. CPD are not allowed to even draw their weapons without needing to make notifications and complete paperwork. City pays you to lay low, leave the criminals be and not proactively police. Why put yourself in a bad spot where you aren’t allowed to act. The useless Deescalation and CIT training WILL get you murdered. Only reason the training is FORCED on you all is so city can be absolved of any liability in the event of OIS. Cheaper for city if copper is shot instead, this way city gets to avoid ghetto lottery payout. Don’t volunteer to be the sacrificial lamb.

Hate to Monday morning quarterback, but I fully agree.

You see what’s going on, you acknowledge he’s reaching, and do nothing about it. I don’t know if he froze, or didn’t know what to do, or if he was browbeaten into a slow response by our current social climate- but he seemed to be locked into a poor tactical position when he knew things were sketchy.
Not trusting your gut can have dire consequences get home safe brothers and sisters.

Agreed! Wish officers on scene had emptied their clips into the vehicle, reloaded and shot some more. But overall they did what they could and in accordance with de escalation training.
RIP Brother, and huge fuck you to KimFox, BJ, office of constitutional policing and de escalante trainers who push the training on young officers
