One Post Only Tonight

We don't know where to begin with all this.

One deceased Officer, one still listed as critically wounded in the press, but our comments and text messages have all sorts of other info, none verified 100%.

Larritorious saying a third gun was recovered from the scene at Swedish, which implies a breakdown of Custodial Searches on more than one occasion. Guns hidden in fat folds should always be remembered as a possibility....remember Sox Park.

Someone says Swedish "wands" prisoners in custody, but that didn't discover the weapon in question. 

A name has appeared in our comment section, and if you google it, there are many other crimes committed by this individual, most involving guns, mostly in lakefront Districts, all or which should have been multi-year sentences. If the name is correct:

  • here he is with a gun again, caught after committing another violent robbery Saturday, shooting two Police Officers;
  • he may have been out on Electronic Monitoring, still skipped Court, so yet another SAFE-T Act failure;
  • he might be related to a certain exempt who was forced out a while back;
  • this might be either the same nephew (or an additional nephew) with a habit of shooting people

More info will probably trickle out today, verifying or debunking some of the above info. Like we said, we have no idea where to even begin with this clusterfuck.

Cameras, tasers, ifaks, narcan, how about add a metal detecting wand or at least have a sgt with a wand respond to all in custody situations. Initial custodial and subsequent searches are key but this does show a major mistake. Please provide us some wands and more shackles. Sorry John and partner. Glad to know you. We are still here. Please join us in some way if you can.

OT - More horrible breaking news -

Trump shares details on 'very sick person' who fired shots at White House Correspondents' Dinner

Secret Service agents stood at the head table, weapons drawn as they scanned the room for the threat

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-rushed-away-from-white-house-correspondents-dinner-shots-fired

Secret Service officer was apparently shot at very close range but had a good vest.

Gunman just CHARGED the metal detectors, video shows him going through there like a streak.

All I know. Obviously very much more to come.

There had been various comments in the previous thread about telling police to remove handcuffs by hospital personnel before treating prisoners. Physicians & ER personnel are well aware why a prisoner is in handcuffs. The last thing the staff wants is to be injured by a prisoner. The ERs have restraining equipment like hard & soft restraints, nylon strapping, velcro & tapes. Don’t forget hospitals receive mental patients that are not brought in by police.

In an MRI restraints have to be non ferromagnetic and the patient is checked and questioned extensively. If a patient/prisoner needs to be uncuffed the police and ER personnel should transfer the prisoner to non metal restraints and both should agree that the restraints are secure and will hold.

To begin with that press conference with the Superintendent and Mayor was absolutely cringeworthy. The Mayor appeared to be in a canonic state and the Superintendent talked and talked but gave no real information except everything is under investigation. It’s about 2:50 am Sun and still nothing.

Contrast that incident with the one that occurred at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner at the Washington Hilton Sat night. There were a couple thousand in attendance with President Trump, the Vice President and the Cabinet. While the President was seated a gunman rushed the security screening area which prompted a response by the Secret Service whereupon one was shot in the vest and was ok. The President and Staff were removed to the White House where he and many others answered reporters questions. The President gave some great responses. The gunman was identified and It was discovered he was from Torrance Ca. They did an immediate search warrant on his house. What is ironic is that the Senate Democrats are holding up funding so these Secret Service Agents have not been paid for over 60 days. This dinner was televised live and so was the press conference after the incident in which they put out all the information, and there was no we have to wait for the investigation. This occurred over a 3 to 4 hour period. Fox News.com has the photos, videos and stories on their web site.

Contrast that with Chicago’s lack of information from what occurred at Swedish Hospital. We are not asking for the officer’s identities as we respect their privacy. But what the hell happended?

As a Wagon guy for 16 years. Once the cuffs go on they do not come off till we hit the interview room or lock up! And when we get a fighter. We always go anywhere in force. The minute he needs to go to hospital search him one time then your partner searches him again. We all know they are looking for an escape route. And they know every watch will let them take a free ride to hospital. Even if CFD arrives in ambulance cuff him to gurney. But search again. In all the time I transported prisoners to hospital. Only one time was it a legit medical need. The guy stopped breathing. Swallowed his drugs……his choice. All the rest were wastes of time and cleared to process?

God bless the officers for their service and courage.
This offenders entire arrest from start to finish needs to be reviewed.
This could and should have been prevented.

Somewhat unfair. The cops are primarily responsible for searching prisoners they have transported to the hospital. The hospital security is focused on people visiting the hospital. This guy is as fat as your governor with a gun, according to another poster here, stuck up his ass. He could have a cannon stuck up there and a handheld wand wouldn’t have detected it. Keep this in mind if you ever have the occasion to arrest the governor.

This piece of shit was arrested and charged with 2 counts of armed robbery and 1 count of carjacking last year . At the time of his arrest he was on parole. He was ordered detained at his initial court appearance last year, but was subsequently released on EM. On March 11 of this year a warrant was issued for him in regards to the current state charges of armed robbery and carjacking. The death of a police officer and the attempt murder of another police officer could have been prevented if it were not for these fucked up politicians and their fucked up Safe T Act. Side note… how does IDOC not issue a warrant immediately for a guy on parole who’s charged with armed robbery and carjacking? Illinois could be the most fucked up state in the country. This place is a criminals wet dream.

"Contrast that incident with the one that occurred at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner at the Washington Hilton Sat night." I watched the entire event live. What looked briefly like chaos was teams of Secret Service agents rushing to find and secure members of the government and escort them to safety. I don't think anyone could find fault with the overall response to the perceived threat. It was fast, well-coordinated, and very impressive to see.

At 08:12, I’m not saying this isn’t a good idea, but we all know our fellow officers tendencies for short cuts and not putting hands on gross people. I could see officers supplementing this for a Pat down completely and not finding other things. Ghost guns are now 3-D printed and can be made mostly of plastic. I’ve also experienced arrests with carved knives of plastic and wood. A good search is always in order and an item that isn’t department regulated may malfunction (yeah I know we’ve shitty equipment). Just remember, I could see officers not putting batteries in it or charging it and well, still a problem. It’s also inexcusable that the department shouldn’t have this by now for every lock up and every beat car.

The judges that let these mutts out on e.m. should be forced to explain their decisions to the families of the officers when a tragedy like this happens. Not just issue a statement but explain their decisions face to face. Let them as uneasy as possible. And if judges are required to do this they might be more inclined to keep these dirtbags locked up.

St. Francis is full of ER doctors who hate the police. I remember one in particular. Imagine hating the police so much that you go out of your way to protect a drunk driver whose out there, a danger to every single innocent person on the street walking or driving a car.

Search, search, and then search some more. Cuff em up, leg irons too. Anyone complains? Fuck 'em. No need to get shot, stabbed, etc. just because some J/O doesn't want another J/O to get his feelings hurt.

-You’d think every single lockup and processing site would have one.-

They do. Although I can't say I've ever seen one that works or is used. But this guy hadn't yet hit a lockup, so it would only be helpful in this case if the wagon was equipped with one.

I hope people know we do NOT pat down arrestees. We do a complete custodial search. I believe this animal was under arrest for Armed Robbery. Why are people talking about a “Pat down”?!?

This is not a stop. This is an arrest! You must LOOK in his underwear. You must take all of the strings from all of his clothing. You must remove his shoes and socks and the padding in his shoes. He cannot have anything that will hurt you, or him, or other officers, or other prisoners. In fact, he can’t have anything he can’t have! He can’t have a lighter. He can’t have a phone. He can’t have a tiny rock. This is a horrible, horrible situation. Unfortunately, this has happened before in this and many other police departments, so grace MUST be given to the people involved because the best we can all do now is self-check our own tactics and knowledge. Please learn all of the rules for every type of search that can and should be done and make absolute sure that every officer on your watch knows all of the rules, so that this never happens to another Chicago police officer ever again.

Any update on the senior Officer, please?

I hate looking at local news headlines. And Harwood Hts with their bogus "confirmation" FB notification yesterday-which has been corrected. Sorry for the rip but you caused a lot of unnecessary anguish with your inaccurate post.

God please, bless all first responders starting right now with CPD.

The really sad thing is how many people jump on here and Monday-morning quarterback the incident that they do not have complete information on. Worse are all the "RIP", "Godspeed we got it from here posts" from people who then never bother to show up for the funeral. The low turnout at the killed in the line of duty funerals for our own over the last few years is absolutely shameful. There have been more coppers from outside departments than from the CPD at times.

And the excuses I hear are pathetic. "I work midnights, I'm too tired to go the funeral in the morning", "I'm RDO", "It's too far to drive to the other side of the city" and the worst one, "I'm not going if nobody signs my OT slip". I've heard them all. You want to show the family how we care about our own? Show the fuck up at the funeral.

To 09:37 - it is the job of every officer to search every offender they take into their custody. If a set of officers arrest someone and hand that offender off to you to transport, you should always search the offender no matter what. You can never search too many times.

On behalf of the entire Holy Cross community we would like to offer to the family of Officer John Bartholomew our deepest sympathies. May God grant John rest with all the saints of heaven. His memory be eternal.

I don’t write much on social media but as knowing this young man from the age of 15 years old when I was assigned to St. Andrew, his Pappou Fr. John Kutulas introduced him to me in the altar and it was there those many years ago that John told me that his dream was to be a police officer.

I told him it was an honorable profession but it takes much dedicated service as well as the dangers of job.

I told him “John whenever one walks out the door there is always a chance that something could happen but the percentage are not as great as they are for police officers. Are you sure this is the life you want. It’s also a very thankless position where you are cursed at spit on etc.”. Though I have seen other individuals appreciate and thank officers occasionally.

He said to me “Fr. John. I know this. I know that those chances run high. I don’t have a death wish and life is very precious to me, and I want to live and I will work very hard to stay alive, but if I sacrifice my life to keep a dirtbag from hurting or killing someone else, then I feel my sacrifice was worth it.”

This just amazes me that these young kids are willing to go out and protect us and get rid of the bad people even though they know there is a great risk involved.

John is a hero to me. The person who took John’s life didn’t only take his life, he took a child away from his mother, he took a husband away from his wife, and he took a father away from his 3 year old daughter. He took a friend and a spiritual son from his priest and church. He took a friend away from all his friends. He took a comrade from all his Brothers and Sisters that wear the uniform.

Instead of living in the grief of the loss, let’s remember the joy of the beautiful memories he left us with. I know for a fact he touched many lives. I know for a fact that he made a difference in this world for many people that he came in contact with.

He was a dedicated brother to all the sisters and brothers of the Blue.

All he wanted was the best for all. He always looked for the betterment of the other human being. Above all he loved his family. His beloved wife his children. His mom and his sister and brother. Family was dear to him and he always looked at being with them at all times. He will be missed.

I truly believe that John has become an angel of God and God has welcomed him in heaven because as the poem goes he did his time in hell.

Rest in peace my blessed brother. I thank the Lord that He placed you in my life. You were an inspiration to me seeing you fulfill your dreams as a police officer, a husband and as father.

I am sorry that evil came and has tried to distract us from what you were doing, but it will not distract us of who you are because you are still alive with God and what you did here on earth.

Rest in Peace. Your memory be eternal my brother.
Your Brothers and Sisters in Blue have got it from now on down here.
Amen.

To all you stupid f*cking democrats, especially the coppers, your support of democrats enabled this POS to kill one copper and seriously injure another. Fathead, prickwinkle, conehead and every other democratic politician sponsor of the so-called safety act and NO CASH BAIL and every anti-law and order judge in this state surely have the blood of these 2 coppers on their hands because it is their legislation/rulings and decisions for electronic monitoring, for a violent armed robbery felon, that allowed this murder and maiming to happen. Your support of these f*cking sociopath politicians and judges means that you also share in the responsibility because you put them in the position to create this lawless enviornment and have the same blood on your hands for this murder of a CPD Officer and the catastrophic injury of his partner. Regurgitate that you stupid Mfckers. Oh, and please do not send condolences to the families or post your fake outrage when your support of these politicians allowed this to happen.
