Officer Injured at Street Takeover
Another one of those incidents where tens of dozens of cars along with hundreds of morons "take over" an intersection by sheer force of numbers and break all sorts of traffic and public safety laws....with zero consequences:
A Chicago police officer conducting traffic control was hit by a car in a hit-and-run early Friday in South Shore on the South Side.
Around 1:30 a.m., the officer was conducting traffic control for a large gathering in the 7500 block of South Phillips Avenue when they were struck in the leg by a white sedan that fled the scene, police said.
The officer was treated at the scene and released, officials said. No one was in custody.
Our sources say he wasn't treated at the scene - Beat 421 drove him to the hospital. But why are we conducting "traffic control" for an illegal display of assholery?
Remember when the city bought all those spike strips and told everyone they'd put a stop to this unlawful and dangerous behavior? They even started a "special unit" and sent them to training. And....nothing. Not even a hint of a plan.
Is there a way to stop it all that doesn't rely on a massive and instant deployment of manpower and equipment? Something that deters future behavior? Do we need to return to the hydrant key method?

You’re gonna have to explain this to the pups, SCC. This Old School technology hasn’t been used in 30 years.
That special unit (216) is a complete waste with children fresh off probation.
Why bother. Don’t get hurt it isn’t worth it. I got hurt and learned the hard way.
I'd suggest that maybe something else for them to do....
....Like....Midnight Basketball.

I love the smell of napalm in the morning.

Of course. Trying to open a hydrant places you in danger of being attacked when there is a crowd around. A flyby with used motor oil and/or roofing nails is very effective since there is no manpower to start arresting people. Pepper spray clouding would also be effective and not messy but don’t count on the higher ups to ever approve it.
Something that deters future behavior?
The Lake of Fire.
Sounds like a long road to recovery. Potentially 365 days.
the conehead mayor will tell the press he authorized the purchase of those spike strips to put a stop the street take overs but it was the police officers that refused to use them
We’re lucky if that unit even works more than 4 hours at given day. Absolute joke.
Just keep driving, why bother, you cant do anything anyway 19P
There was a time in 009 when the 1st watch WC had car leave roll call and turn on every hydrant in the back of the yards industrial park. It was quite effective and did curb the suburbanites need to pretend to in the movie fast and the Furious. RIP Leo
If you do use those spikes strips, they'll send you to jail.
Hydrant keys were very effective.
Time to open a can of whupbutt.
No institutional knowledge to teach these youngsters the proper way to handle these types of scenes.
And a complete absence of competent supervision to make the correct calls. The “Everyone Wins a Trophy” generation now populate the white shirts ranks. Any further questions?
Those asshole kids know they won't be prosecuted for anything, unless one of them does something stupid like splash a root beer in someone's face.
Suspend or revoke the plates just like the SOS does not for not having insurance. Also suspend the owners DL just like for DUI. This activity is a lot more dangerous than not having insurance or a DUI
This shows you who controls the streets. Sure ain't the cops.
Prayers for officer injured. Maybe get rid of that drifting unit and send them back to districts.
So it probably wouldn’t take much for one of these cars to get out of control when you attempt to stop them and kill someone. Sounds like it’s going to be a “Don’t Get Involved” policy just like Don’t Chase.
Drones with mini harpoons.
Wisconsinites use the term FIP fucking Illinois people how fitting
No LEO is anyone's "punching bag" if you will. Where the hell is the law and order? To the Mayor-this must be nipped in the bud! This is happening too much to police!
now,,, don't be demonizing those little capones,,, they just trying to feed their families
Time to let our officers drop the gloves and pull out the spike sticks and turn on the hydrants. Hey upper brass grow a set.
004 is a shithole
Soultion, they can't handle the solution. This will continue until some car blows up and several suburbanites are burned. Then the call will go to Fatass and "contributions to election funds" will end. Money talks and bullshit walks!
....and a good ole fashion bolo wood shampoo....make my Dad smile,
I have his.
"Is there a way to stop it all that doesn't rely on a massive and instant deployment of manpower and equipment? Something that deters future behavior?"
Yes, close the border 40 years ago.
Midnight soccer?
unit has two year wonders chasing blue cards like every other bs. just watch pods, get plates, mail tickets, order impounds.
The dude who’s always posting on slack makes it sounds like that units the greatest thing since sliced bread.
FIB: fucking illinois bastards
Rumor has it some of them are PPOs
Pray for our city
This would never be occurring if the Real Police of decades gone by still ran the streets.
sounds more politically correct than what they used to use 'FISH" f8cking Illinois sh*it head

Could go 21st century style and use drones to record everything and pick them up later.
The sad truth is that these animals are convinced that rules don't apply to them (because rules are "racist"). The only rules these predatory animals have regard whether or not they feel "disrespected", in which case violence is always an acceptable response (in their opinion). Logic? Common courtesy? Consideration of others enough to not be a public menace? Forget it. There's no hope. Just hope they don't try to burn the city down, again.
CPD needs drones to record vehicles and people involved. Impound every vehicle at a later date .
What plates?
True statement
That dude is a stroke!
“We spiked 4 of them!”
Needs to go IOD for his fucked up shoulder from always patting himself on the back
And they dont, and if they did, they would be fired or in jail for the tactics from days of old. Next alternative would be?
Snow plow in the intersection and pour some salt too
Who fucking cares this city is fubar and isn't ever coming back so thank you democrats and we will just drive around or hit a hole for a tour cause your crazy if you do any proactive police work
You a doctor?
That goes through an Impound “Judge” or hearing officer.
Sit in on one of those hearings, you’ll be disgusted at how many cars they give back WITHOUT a fine.
Baby girl gets her ride back because she didn’t know Old Boy fina be ridin’ wiff dat pole!
Link to slack
Tell us something we don’t already know
Don’t you idiots get it yet? Your police department is being run by communists
Kochan got it all under control
Who fucking cares. I’m at home sleeping when these animals are doing this shit. The city will not back u to do anything to them so who cares. Go to 7-11 and have some coffee and donuts and retire without being sued
