Chopper Chasing?
After the Rolex store daylight robbery, a bunch of commentators said that the helicopter had followed the suspects back to Englewood before six were arrested.
Now we get this story a few days later:
A black Chevy sedan led Chicago police on a chase throughout Chicago Tuesday evening.
Chopper 7 was over the chase just after 5:30 p.m. It traveled from the Northwest Side to the West Side. Police cars did not appear to be in pursuit for the entire time.
Um, then that wouldn't (technically) be a chase, would it?
But if they were followed, either by one of the helicopters or a drone (which we're told might be federal and based out of DuPage airport), then that would be a step up. No bad visuals of chases that go wrong, no cops injured, any crashes are directly attributable to the criminal.
This would actually be an intelligent move, a rare occurrence for certain. We just have a heard time seeing the helicopter up with any meaningful flight time given the maintenance issues they had a few months ago.

Yes. I heard it all on Citywide 1.
Nothing is attributable to the criminal.
Nothing anymore.
"This would actually be an intelligent move ..."
Until some elected bird-brain rallies the socialists to legislate against it. After all it is IL
I have to say something here thats completely off topic And will probably get me a lot of shit.
Theres a regular poster here who doesnt know that the word LOOSE means the opposite of TIGHT
LOSE is the opposite of FIND
So youre not going to LOOSE your job and freedom . You're going to LOSE your job and freedom.
Tnank for indulging me. Im retired and aging, so I need you guys and gals.
Stay safe out there.
South holland chased them to Schaumburg and back to the west side before it crashed into a pole.
We don’t have a drone and the mayor would never allow one in the city. Stop making shit up
If the suspects are fleeing a chopper it's still a chase.
Between the plate readers and several cpd helicopters CPD has come a long way. Along with the Citywide Robbery taskforce and Major Case Unit CPD is acting more like a Suburban department everyday.
They were all held in custody which is even more shocking.
Hey ALL
Check out this link.

Give it a few days and a different judge will let them out, maybe even an ankle bracelet, but I doubt it.
IF those were 'Timex' watches that were stolen, the Department would only allow the car to be followed from the air with a kite.
A Sergeant or above would have to call off the chase when the string was low.
Fake, temporary performative bullshit while the Feds are in town... Conehead's dumb, but not stewpid!
Was the pole…Stan Pillarski. Tee hee
Intelligent move are two words incompatible with and never used by the City of Chigawga and State of Ill inois since the early fifties. Seriously 😐 I looked it up in the Scrimshaw dictionary edition 1811.
God bless you brother, seems like they slept through Espisiito’s report writing class. Tough it out buddy every morning is another gift 🎁.
Only if the miscreants know they being “observed” by the chopper. Democrat playbook change the word(s): to fit your conclusion.
"Police cars did not appear to be in pursuit for the entire time."
I'm starting to wonder whether we are a legitimate police agency anymore...what are we doing out there? A civilian news helicopter just engaged successfully and a ring of looters was taken into custody. I have seen the future and it does not work.
While I agree, the guy is probably another Chicago Public School victim but you really should get a hobby...
Ends in Englewood? Who would have guessed that.
That'sxa birds eye view of the increase in the decrease. This is may require a proactive Department of War 90 day deployment then a break for the holidays. Round 2 maybe after 9 Jan to prepare for the Spring. Great work I love it!
😆😆😆.... I too, try not to be an English teacher here but it's fertile ground...😆😆😆
Technology is cool.
1- It's allegedly a Fed drone, 2- asshole doesn't control airspace...
Love to see it! Great work by everyone involved. Good to see cops out there getting after it and not being lazy
Nothing wrong with a little education that CPS missed out.
BREAKING NEWS
Lisa A. Starks being dumped from Area 4. Not sure what she did besides being stupid. admin Sgt said she was gone by the end of the week.
9/09/2025 01:38:
———-
This can’t be true, because if they dump Lisa Srarks or do any dumping within the D-Unit they’d have to dump A/1 Detective Commander A. Watson for her sustained EEOC complaint. A source in personnel said that Stark moved down to the rank of Lt. to retire.
The lawyer's guild, the aclu and the bar associations have come out against chopper chases. In the event the accused driving lawbreakers are involved in a traffic crash, the driver operating the accelerator pedal and steering wheel rarely has any assets to seize through civil litigation. No marked police units to blame for the fleeing vehicle driver's choice and calculated decision of reckless driving resulting in human carnage. Six figure payouts sustaining the attorneys and their law partners may be a thing of the past.
Attorneys may have to resort to public assistance and section 8 condos for their sustenance. Other people's money makes the legal profession go round. For now, conniving lawyers are fabricating legal reasoning for blaming choppers for traffic accidents seeking financial justice for themselves first as legal practitioners and secondly for those who were harmed.
Liking O'Neill Burke more everyday
Shit up Hawkins
Thank you for your comment. You can tell that there are no more Nuns teaching grammar school these days. I think that would come up in the 5th or 6th grades a long time ago. Retired 32 years ago and enjoying every day of it.
It was all good until you misspelled thank. It's sucks not being perfect.
They were chased for throwing a dildo onto the field at the Bears Game. It’s part of a Nationwide Dildo Ring called Al Rideya.
It was PH4 --- the department's "Huey" helicopter. Typically the department only has one chopper working per day due to the staff shortages.
Source: Check your PCAD
We have a drone unit... drones cant go very far from whoever is remote controlling it. Unless were talking military drones which fly much higher than any helicopter.
PH1-4 = CPD
Troy 1 = DHS
Charlie -1 = County
With access to spell-check and on-line dictionary, I raise my cup of coffee to you, sir / mam.

police helicopters are racist!!! the pilots absolutlety know the driver of that car is black,,, yep,, no doubt about it
Agreed. Went to catholic schools back when they enforced the 3 R's and not PC bullshit. Most locals are functional illiterate today. They will strike back with grammar nazi , get a hobby , or you know what I meant etc. Sorry coppers you sound uneducated. Not a good look. Fire away dumb dumbs.
Armed robbery and shooting at Washington and Dearborn at 1030 am. Maybe one of the 150 members of Brandon’s security detail could walk over and assist the working police. National guard can’t come soon enough.Thanks Brandon.
" first,we kill all the lawyers " willie Shakespeare, a long time ago.
OT but updating a HUGE story - the savage nature of which has cried out for open discussion, for justice, for resolution for half a century or more now.
"...the New York Times dismissed Zarutska’s death as nothing more than political fodder for the right.
"A Gruesome Murder in North Carolina Ignites a Firestorm on the Right," declared the Times.
"Stabbing Video Fuels MAGA’s Crime Message," said Axios.
However, this isn’t about MAGA. This is about a career criminal, repeatedly set free by judges in Democrat strongholds, murdering an innocent woman in cold blood because of her race.
***The man can be heard shouting, 'I got that white girl,' after the killing.***

Of course, Trump did the crime. Trump administration "government had implanted 'materials' in [the offender's] brain that were 'controlling' his actions. Decarlos Dejuan Brown Jr. insisted that investigators should look into the implanted 'materials,' saying that they were responsible for his violent outburst."
At least Gofundme cancelled a fundraising page for the killer and "refunded all money collected." I'd love to see that donor list.
Anyway - if we can't manage an execution, life w/o parole in the basement of AdMax Florence, if you please.
Irina Zarutska.
SAY HER NAME! SAY HER NAME!
Stay safe. God bless all here.
"Typically the department only has one chopper working per day due to the staff shortages..."
...and the (one-term) Johnson mayoralty's primal fear that police action might lead to the capture of violent criminals.
I've gotten hammered here for less. Like one time I forgot one of these '...
OT - As outrage explodes over the Charlotte "I got that white girl" hate murder, the legacy media twisted and turned and furrowed its collective brow to come up with a suitable spin to even mention a story that otherwise would have just gone into the shredder.
"Trump DOJ to file federal charges against mentally ill man."

There.
Let's see if they literally beatify Dejuan Decarlos Brown Jr. the way they did illegal-alien Salvadoran MS-13 member Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the "man from Maryland" holding up some baby for the willing cameras.
I only heard once that Saint Kilmar was under investigation for involvement in the horrible deaths of 50+ illegals packed into a box truck which flipped into the ditch and was abandoned by the drivers in the blazing sun. Talk of Garcia possibly being eligible for the death penalty behind that one...then nothing.
Can't find online the sepia-toned medieval-style painting of Kilmar with a halo behind his head - really! - held in vile durance in a dark prison cell, the bars of which are being ripped open by righteous hands appearing from all sides...
It's a corker.
OT: Charlie Kirk shot at Utah college campus speaking engagement. Neck wound, surviving so far, critical condition and hospitalized, One in custody, M/W, 50+ yrs. The assassins continue to kill the next generation of conservative leaders, willingly and wantonly, as we spiral into perdition. A quick, aggressive prosecution and certain finality to the life off this subhuman creature.
.
.
and now Charlie Kirk
what a fkn world
Kevin Bruno is the person responsible for this success, without the creation of these teams like 5700A and Citywide Robbery teams Hawkins would have nothing.
Charlie Kirk who was shot in the neck at a Utah university has died. President Trump has confirmed this. Evil, slob ghoul Jabba Pritzker actually blamed President Trump and Jan. 6th for the shooting of Charlie Kirk.
Not gonna happen Bro. We don’t hire Englishmen to work ICE. You gotta live in the place you police.
Kirk is dead, bled out from the neck. Old man they initially detained had nothing to do with it & has already been released.
Rip Charlie Kirk. Don’t always have to agree but he had great morals and values
You don’t read too good do you?
Other news, who killed Charlie Kirk and will they get the shooter? Since he has been criticizing Mamdani, maybe one of his kind responsible.
OT:
Gov Fatass when asked about the Charlie Kirk shooting decided to put the blame on conservatives and Trump for political violence. He is such a Jag.
Sick to my stomach… Far left Democrats are purely evil. They asked for a moment of silence in Congress today and they couldn’t even keep their mouth shut and respect that. it was that whack a doodle, female black I believe… Crazy and pathetic.
There can be no rational discourse with irrational people - who hate you to boot.
TDS - writ very, very large these days...
A little good news! Crooked Ex Aldercrook Judge Tim Evans is retiring. Apparently he has amassed enough bribe money to live comfortably until that day his crooked ass is plunged into hell.
A thought on the Charlie Kirk assassination. The left has warned of an existential threat to democracy. They are right. It is them.
If we're not going to do car chases anymore, we oughta start using drones. Have 'em based at every Area or maybe even every District. They can follow a car, without the occupants even being aware of it, I bet.
Kevin Bruno is a backstabbing piece of shit.
Tim Evans is Toni's Clown. The Crook County judicial system has the best judges that money can buy. A well-run corrupt Democrat political machine protected by the media and dispensing injustice in every way possible in destroying the city.
We are not a real a police organization since Rahm took charge of bleeding out police resources. Larry and the current idiot mayor and the 50 thieves are permanently ending policing in the city. The citizens of Chicago are on their own. You are the future victims. If you don't protect yourself no one else will protect you. When seconds count and you call 911/311to report suspicious activities or need help (and you wait and wait and wait) and they finally answer - remember the police are shorthanded and they may have 4-5 calls ahead of you. It's your ass on the line. Thank a Democrat.
When the left consistently calls for violence and the death of specifically white, conservative, and Christian people it’s only a matter of time when one of these deranged (as if the are any who are sane) leftists acts on their fantasy. They are the side of “tolerance” except if you don’t agree with us and do what we want we’ll harass you, forbid you from seeing your family, practice your faith, take your job, your house, and ultimately kill you. NEVER FORGET that this is what the left wants and celebrates.
Eyewitness to Kirk assassination appeared on Fox, saying that Charlie fielded various questions for about 30 minutes - and then the large number of mass shootings committed by "trans" people came up.
"One shot rang out and Charlie went over backwards..."
amazing how the lying liberal news always knows the make and color of the cars involved but somehow never know the color of the drivers or offenders
Civilian here: Military-grade drones make so much sense. They're not even detectable by the criminals, so they're stealthy as well as effective (and cheap). Also, you could probably get a recent high school grad to operate one versus a trained pilot on call. I know the pro-crime progressives will scream, but the Feds can get around that.
They should get a Baba Yaga drone from Ukraine.
