Shooting
Civil lawsuit, COPA "investigation," and Conehead's checkbook are at the ready!
A man was shot and critically wounded at a River North hotel after police responding to a call of a man with a knife fired shots Monday afternoon.
Officers saw a man with a knife in the 100 block of West Hubbard Street, but said when they tried to stop him, he fled. The officers chased the man into the Courtyard by Marriott hotel at 30 E. Hubbard St., where they tried to deescalate the situation, Chicago police said.
Several officers tried to incapacitate the man with Tasers but failed, they said. The man then turned toward officers while holding the knife, and two officers fired shots about 2:45 p.m., they said. A weapon was recovered at the scene.
We're only being sarcastic with the opening line up top. Of course, the Officers did everything correctly. Unfortunately, people will claim it wasn't enough.
On the plus side, no one got stabbed and the only person to blame for the asshole taking a few rounds is - of course - the asshole.
An excellent job by the Officers. We're just sorry that you're still going to have to go through the political rigamarole that follows all legal and justifiable shootings nowadays.

Anyone look at the newly released vision 2025 report by snelling today? Things that will be addressed in 2025. Manpower will be restructured to ensure more bodies in the districts. From what a bird tells me, that will be the 12hr day conversation. Number 2, medical studies and changes to the medical roll policy. And 3rd, OT. Every district and Unit will get a set number of dollars to spend. All will be monitored and tracked to the penny. If your unit goes over, accountability will kick in and OT shut down. No more throwing money at crime. I think they will throw manpower at crime and come up with 12hr days.
When you run after an ASSHOLE with a weapon perhaps just run a little bit slower.
Hell, maybe you pulled a muscle or injured yourself in some other way while running.
What I'm saying is; LET THE BASTARD GET AWAY.
It ain't worth the BULLSHIT that follows.

The downtown life style was destroyed by the current mayor and the past mayor.
It’s going to be a long summer.
Crisis Response team not around?
These officers will be screwed over by the department, COPA and our spineless city attorneys because we live and work in Clown World. The Free Shit Army is just waiting to use more restrictive uses of force on a copper and riot this summer.
It wasn’t an excellent job at all !! They CHASED the man with a knife. A clear violation of general orders ! Do not Chase ! On foot or in vehicle. They will and should take time. And for the people who read this and respond “ what are they to do just let him run away” yes ! Absolutely that’s the point let the city explain why we have this ridiculous general order.
OT. Picture and story in today’s Tribune showing Fire Fighters Union president with fist raised marching with Stacey Gates and teachers union.

“ Chicago Firefighters Local 2 President Pat Cleary and Chicago Teachers Union President Stacy Davis Gates march toward Whitney Young High School as dozens of teacher and firefighter union members join forces for fair contracts on March 24, 2025, in Chicago. (Antonio Perez/Chicago Tribune) ”
Fire Fighters should be ashamed. Just union whores if they’re in bed with those communist bastards. But what do you expect, FF went on strike for months back in early 80s. But they’re heroes, 911, 911!
Excellent job by the coppers.
Sounds Justified but we know how it will be portrayed next prisoners of ARS ,
A CPS tragedy was avoided last week when POs apprehended a Foreman HS student coming back to school to shoot up the place. The possible shooter took an Uber home to get his weapon

Who needs cops in schools, right?
Foreman has been a cesspool of violence since before Blago went there.
The only things ever good about the Foreman neighborhood were the onion rings at Fantastiks and taffy apples at Andrew's taffy apples, both long since gone.
Glad the officers are ok physically ,
off topic but when will the Robbery / Carjacking task force TH two year minions learn a lesson , they’re still chasing cars with clusterfuckers almost at least once weekly . Last week the shit show came into 001 and a 001st district copper almost got run over by the offender assisting the shit show of a task force . 001 terminated after that and the task force continued chasing the car on the new encrypted ban they only use , they no longer do “ missions “ on CW 6 but now they share info to the zones late causing a officer safety issue . The way they drive it will cause someone to get hurt or worse one day .
What was he doing with the knife? What was the initial call?
“community” outrage in 3…2…1…
He's probably an off duty chef, that's why he was carrying a knife.
Yeah, they did go on strike in 1980. And that action paved the way for a fair contract and also contract enhancements for CPD. What are you - a scab supporter? Know your history before you try to connect the 1980 Local 2 strike with current actions.
This is why Bears will move to Arlington Heights! Crime has killed the City.
You can't go downtown anymore unless its on a Safari.
12’s are going to be rough but it’s a necessity. So good luck to all 2-4 year wonder pregnant inside dollies soon to be pushing a beat car on 1st watch.
Larry, make it fair for all.
Have 20% as management assigned for activity generation and bring back swiping as well. Full tour for all.
His great uncle will show up and demand justice.
They fall under the federal jurisdiction I believe.
You're an idiot
PLEASE do not categorize all fireman like this! Me, being a fireman, do not support this alliance or whatever they are calling it! And I know for a fact 95% of firemen DO NOT SUPPORT this move. Ask them!
The Union Prez did this without a vote by the membership behind the backs of the firemen. People heavily involved with the union (not on the board, but a part of a committee) did not know this happened until the news article came out.
So PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not think firemen want this!
Good job but prepare to be demonized.
Read the order!
These Officers will likely be thrown under the bus via “Sanctity of Human Life” “Deescalation” “Foot Chase Policy” and some other terrible Consent Decree style policies that this Department Operates under now. Also, always remember that our tasers are next to useless during cold weather season. That option only seems to work under ideal conditions and sometimes not even then.
Tour of duty Hours and medical usage are contractual issues, will have to be negotiated with the union. If the union agrees to any of it they better get something huge in return!!!! Or else jcat and his administration will be done!!!
Is this the "Pain" Phaker and Jesse were referring to when they said years ago, the gold coast and the Northside need to feel what the South and Westside feel on a daily basis? Someone in the press should ask the two if their happy with the results. Bankruptcy in 3-5 years.
Hijacking team has been around before TH and CW 85 is not a secret channel
Can anyone confirm the offender in the shooting at McArthurs restaurant parking lot in the 15th District was Yolanda Talley’s nephew?
New "Use of Force" model coming out.
Only batons, Asps, OC spray or Tasers can be used against knives.
You'll see it soon.
One of the dumbest things I’ve ever read…. Ever. Cops let man flee while armed with knife.. man stabs 3 tourists.. cops fail to protect citizens. Great job officers, don’t listen to this miserable coward who is more than likely a prisoner at 376 because he’s a moron who got himself there..
Stay retired sarge…
Believe 12’s have to be bargained for. City better back up the brinks truck. And if you’re tier 1 your better think long and hard about staying through 12’s. Leave if you can.
Does anyone use mace/pepper spray anymore? I'm not suggesting here that these officers should have used mace against a knife (but they did try the taser at a knife fight).
Curious because I don't hear of mace being used much anymore and I remember it was very effective when used in the days before the taser. I also thought the baton and asp were good too but you had to get close to deploy these. I remember a few times de-escalating a situation by pulling out the baton and resting it on my shoulder menacingly.
Good Show about Corrupt CPD https://m.imdb.com/title/tt9810248/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk
For the win!
Youre talking about 2 year minions? The way you write? Relax high school wonder.
Filleting a fish without a proper license. MCC violation. Coppers gonna catch 30 pending.
Sgt you should have told the troops that when you were still working
It's baffling why they still have the amount of teams as they do. Two teams for robbery TF, two citywide carjacking teams, each area team, and numerous personnel at OEMC. Carjackings are no where near what they were in 2021.
The Districts have always had a set ot amount, this isn't new, it just wasn't enforced, due to manpower shortages. Downtown gave a blank check to cover the said shortages, then in October the stories of runaway ot would emerge in the media. A story as old as time.
Shut up, you sound like a fool. They can chase an armed, known, wanted offender.
Gates has already dropped them like a hot potato. She'll be MIA when they look for reciprocal support, bet on it.
Take your pills it will be ok
The Foreman principal purposely omitted the fact that his student brought a gun back to school, in his press release and letter to parents. The liberal logic boggles the mind.
Well this isn’t the opera maybe if your scared u can work at Sox park picking up peanut shells with moesha till 3am.
Oh man 25 years ago, Jilly's, the Hangge-Uppe, Shenanigan's, The Lodge, etc, etc. Good times. Never again.
The tasers are shit. Give me OC over them any day.
Take your pills it will be ok

I can take criticism, you’re right.
Also good to hear the rank and file FF don’t want, and aren’t happy, about this.
Bull shit. They are all about the coin. They wouldn’t care if people were killed in the end zone. If it made them money they’re all good. The hell with NFL,
Why would the Superintendent release a report and make no mention of cleaning up the BIA?
You sound like a house mouse.
Less lethal force option will not work well in a situation like this.
Don't bring an OC spray into a knife fight.
I thought you couldn’t do a foot chase only for quasi misdemeanors?
JHFTP- you serious?
The mayor of Boston gave condolences to the family of the man armed with the knife.
Thats good advice...but you'll never make the Tack-Tickle team doing that...
the only place 12s are being talked about are on the blog...
I heard that light duty people will no longer be going to callback. They will be filling in for admin spots in districts. Inside people will be push out to work the streets.
Threat of death or great bodily harm to others is a reason to pursue on foot. It’s not a dope deal, lunkhead. I guess you didn’t see the girl in NYC getting her throat slashed this week in NYC to a by a random career criminal .
You realize by the time you get your pepper spray out & the offender gets close enough for it to be effective & realizes it burns, you or your partner are already stabbed, right?
Officer stillman, multiple officers from 011, officer from 016 all got sent to 376 for chasing and shooting armed offenders. Ask them if they would chase armed offenders again
Wow. Save some ass for the rest of us, will you!? Loser.
Pfft. 12-hour shifts will never happen. The medical roll abuse will be off the charts. And the city can't get people to apply for the job now at $121,000 a year. How the hell are they going to sell 12-hour days to a generation of workers who have an online social media life they need to attend to?
Interesting debate. I guess we will see who is right and who is a fool in the months ahead after COPA and the media spin this incident. Either way I can guarantee these 2 coppers will never chase a man with a knife again after the scrutiny of CPD-involved shooting...even a good one.
61st Street? LOL Just more BLM propaganda...completely unrealistic. Watch it only with a laugh track and then it's enjoyable. Donkey.
If you don't want to do the job, leave the job. I did. That's what I don't get about these fucking cops working 3rd watch in 011 with 15 years on complaining that I got them into shit because I made an arrest that got violent. WTF do you think this job is ? Get a degree, apply for something else, and leave. "Oh it's not how it used to be" . Adjust or get the fuck out. And stop staying in shit districts for the seniority. Go to 020 and take skiing vacations for furlough. You are why I left . Fuck this shit pisses me off.
Never give up our great medical benefits for anything. Think long term. As we get older we have health issues and it's nice knowing if we need to get treatment we can be paid for up to one year if we need to be off of work.
You must be a house mouse as well as a effing retard.
Yea so did Tilman
The officers ought to sue the asshole for the emotional trauma and impact to their jobs because he failed to obey the law...
Sweep the leg!
According to the 2025 Strategic plan the medical will be drastically changing. My guess the city will just do whatever, the unions will file a grievance, probably win years down the road. Most people on this job can't be in a no pay status for a day let alone a few months. My experience is the city just does whatever they want, if an arbitrator reverses them they still "won" just for trying. Also, you can not get punitive damages for contract violations.
So nothing new. OT has always been budgeted. If you think the current OT bonanza hasn't been ok'd by Larry you must not know that he made 260k 10 years ago as a Sergeant of Gym at the academy. You iug think he was really tearing up VRI? No he was hosting fat camp for unmotivated slugs who are now your colleagues.
Your recall must not be from from 1st hand experience. Mace ends up getting in the coppers face most of the time and there isn't a universe where you coul get close enough safely to someone with a knife and mace them. You're a retard flat out
OP sounds like they really want to be a part of the missions lolol
So, if you left the job and didn't want the job. Then why are you commenting on the job. You weren't at the scene, you don't know what occurred. You are the reason the job turned to shit and were glad you left. Now go to your college degree 9-5 and stop trolling on the blog. Monday morning QB's piss me off.
