Five Cops Plowed Into

:::GASP!!::

Another one of those "teen takeovers" by the non-demonized yutes:

  • A driver plowed into a crowd of people on the Near West Side early Sunday, injuring five Chicago Police officers and at least one bystander, according to witnesses and preliminary information gathered at the scene. At least 14 people were arrested during the incident, including the driver and two of his passengers, sources said. So far, CPD has not issued any statements about what happened.

    Police had been in the area of Washburne and Throop since Saturday night, managing a large teen block party. Justin Peters, head of Chitown Crime Chasers, estimated 500 people were involved.

    By around midnight, police supervisors began towing vehicles to clear streets and stop more people from arriving by car. But the crowd continued to grow and become increasingly unruly. CPD brought in teams from districts across the city to carry out the effort, but the sheer size of the crowd, which at times broke into fights and pepper spray battles, made it difficult for some officers to get close to the scene.

We were unaware that teens were allowed to apply for permits for block parties. They did have a permit, right? 

And the "block party" continued well past midnight. Last time we had a block party, the permit expressly said 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM. It was understood that if that rule was violated, then next year we wouldn't be getting a permit.

Best wishes to all of the injured for speedy recoveries. You wouldn't want to miss the next three months of canceled days off and festive block parties.

Why did 012 allow it to get out of hand? After 10 people (folks) it would have been time to shag them out of there never allowing it to grow past quantity 15. 012 dropped the ball on this one.

Viral teen takeovers unleash chaos nationwide as malls, beaches and restaurants become battlegrounds
Incidents have erupted from DC's Navy Yard Chipotle to a Georgia beach pier, Detroit streets and a Wisconsin mall

From upscale waterfront neighborhoods to malls, parks and packed restaurants, viral "teen takeovers" are erupting across the country with police responding to fights, robberies, vandalism and gunfire as massive crowds of juveniles overwhelm public spaces.

In recent months, chaotic scenes have unfolded from Washington, D.C.’s Navy Yard to a Georgia beach pier, a downtown Detroit entertainment district, a Wisconsin shopping mall and a packed Chipotle restaurant where screaming teens hurled chairs as customers scrambled for safety.

"AI Overview Chicago's 2026 Summer Safety Strategy, launched by Mayor Brandon Johnson and the Mayor's Office of Community Safety, focuses on community violence intervention, expanded youth employment, neighborhood activation, and gender-based violence prevention. The plan pairs increased police presence in high-traffic and priority areas with grassroots investments and direct community engagement.Key Pillars of the StrategyYouth Engagement: Expanding summer employment and safe spaces for teens. The city also aims to closely coordinate on "teen takeovers," working with parents and community leaders to prevent reckless and unauthorized gatherings.Community Violence Intervention (CVI): Direct investment in communities historically impacted by violence, relying on local organizations and violence interrupters.Neighborhood Activation: Funding for block clubs, wellness programming, and visible community presence in priority neighborhoods.Gender-Based Violence: Integrating support resources directly into CVI and re-entry efforts."
Mayor Conehead is a visionary, he developed this mighty plan that will end these teen takeovers. See he was way ahead of the game. He found in his quest to find the root of crime was to throw more of the taxpayer"s dollars to the usual bust outs and expect nothing in return.

Alderman Jason Ervin, Ward 28 and Chairman of the Committee on Budget & Government Operations and husband of the City Treasurer expounded on the fact that this was not a "traditional teen take over" but an after prom party that got out of hand! Those proms use to be pretty wild. Remember your prom? You had to rent formalwear' your date wore a gown, there was the corsage and the boutonnière, the limo to the fancy downtown hotel with dinner and dancing.
But then afterword you got nuts and took on the police, remember?

"Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson reacted Sunday to what has been a violent weekend so far." CBS News

"These unauthorized gatherings, as we have indicated multiple times, that they can be dangerous," the mayor said. "In this case, we saw the manifestation of that danger."

Notice his comments are always vague. So what is he going to do about these "gatherings", known to us as dangerous mobs inciting violence. By Tuesday or Wednesday the scriptwriters at the Hall will come up with a Kamala word salad that will confuse and deflect everyone especially the local major news media who will never interrogate him on what he is going to do to stop this violence. And no more of his lofty feel good programs that have proved to have done nothing in the past. His lack of knowledge and his cowardice on what to do is patently obvious. He needs to step down before he does more damage to the City.

Well who the hell is in charge? It’s not CPD…..the supervisors on this scene were useless. There was a time when the CPD supervisors on scene knew this was out of control. But by that time it was too late to get control.

The prior intelligence regarding this street takeover was there. The Department did nothing to prepare for. There was no monitoring of location as the event started? And when they did arrive and see what was happening you then needed vehicles like snow plow trucks or busses to block off street and plenty of tow trucks to seize the vehicles.

I suggest they FOIA the release of the citywide radio traffic and the district radio traffic.
It will show there was no one in charge! But it also shows the ones on scene had no idea what to do with such a large crowd…..

That gathering at the the row houses is an annual event. I remember some years back there was a homicide in the middle of the large crowd and a stampede was set off by the gunshots. Then a few hours later, while police were still on scene investigating the first homicide, a double took place about a block away.

Not that she would pay but next time lock her up for child neglect for allowing her chidren to act like this. All police are so afraid to do anything because we are demonized. The fucker driving the car should be dead There is no way plowing through a crowd cannot justify shooting at him. But every copper is afraid to use any kind of force now and these jagoffs know it. I feel bad for the the young punching bag police officers for their future because of shitty policies. But this is what was voted for. Thank god I’m leaving soon!!

I am dating myself (old Area 4 Taskforce) here, but what ever happened to riot control training? After the 68 Democratic convention I remember going to the Chicago Ave Armory and practicing riot control techniques consisting of various forms of skirmish lines to disperse large crowds. I remember being called out to control the crowds marching down Division Street to the Gold Coast during the Days of Rage. We formed a wedge "/\" and dispersed the crowd. Now I realize that there is no longer any city-wide unit similar to the old Taskforce but one would assume that there can be a coordination of the city's tactical teams to form such mini units. Here is an idea: have the Area's District Tactical teams train together in riot control formations and crowd disbursement techniques. This training could be located at a large Chicago Park District park located in that specific Area such as Marquette Park for Area 1. Have every tactical team from every district in Area 1 assemble at the park. Here the key, practice more than once. I remember going to the armory several times in the summer and we practiced for several years in a row. Since the current Superintendent spent the bulk of his career in the training division, I am quite sure he can partner with the Illinois National Guard to facilitate such training. If the Department learns of such "block parties" in advance or if a street teen take over develops, then the District Watch Commander can notify the on-duty Field Deputy to call out the tactical teams for crowd control or disbursement.

Don’t know if it’s a generational thing or a racial thing, but I remember all but the last line. In my day the last thing we wanted to do was come into contact with the police. We would have our coolers packed and head to someone’s cottage or the forest preserves.

The thought of taking on the police was so far out of our finds that it was unbelievable. You knew you were going to get an ass kicking. If by slim chance the first two officers didn’t handle you the next would or the next two or your father would.

Guess it’s just a different time.

Uh...they're called "riots."

Vehicle weaponized, driver rams into crowd.

Some places call that "terrorism."

Mayor stands there with his finger up his behind, issuing forth "AI Overviews"

"Chicago's 2026 Summer Safety Strategy, launched by Mayor Brandon Johnson and the Mayor's Office of Community Safety, focuses on community violence intervention, expanded youth employment, neighborhood activation, and gender-based violence prevention."

The neighborhood was already "activated" real good. Come down off the porches, throw rocks, and motherf**k the po-lice.

Are we all "focused" yet? Keep twistin that knurled ring back and forth, adjusting the "color balance" control until no one can see black in the results. It's the people in the "Old Italian neighborhood," that's what it is.

Mayor Conehead doesn’t have to worry about the fallout from the “teen gathering” riot on the near west side nor over the 20 people shot over the holiday weekend.
You are sending him on a vacation from tomorrow Tuesday to May 30. He’s going to Rome Italy and the Vatican to see the Pope, although he is not Catholic. The entourage leaving O’Hare should be quite the sight with all the bodyguards and staffers. They may even have to close O’Hare down for his worship. In any case when he gets back the Memorial Day weekend will be forgotten by the news media and the taxpayers!!!!

So for any copper who retired before the year 2016: just don't comment on topics like this. There's a reason we said policing is dead and the term "stay fetal" came out back then. If you put your hands on any of these black teens and use foul language in ABLA that's a 5-hour TRR and most likely you are looking at a reprimand or suspension time now. CPD "Crowd control" now comes down to whatever the highest ranking white-shirt on scene says it is. Were you paying attention to what went down in the fucking summer of 2020? That's the new normal.

To poster 5/25/2026 08 1635. Yes, you are correct I am dating myself. However, think of my suggestion this way: there is a teen takeover, maybe 50 - 60 Officers respond. Every Officer who responds does make a TRR, that's 50-60 TRR. The next teen takeover takes place every Officer again makes a TRR. Keep on doing this for every teen takeover. Eventually COPA is overwhelmed with TRR's. What will happen, the system will break down. Trust me there are not investigators working at COPA to handle the complaints they receive now let alone the hundreds of TRR's. Play their game, over run the system.
