Officer Attacked

A brutal attack with brass knuckles:

  • A Chicago police officer's family said he's lucky to be alive after he was attacked on Tuesday night in the McKinley Park neighborhood.

    Officer Kevin Mangan has a long road ahead because of the injuries he suffered.

    A man and a woman were in custody on Wednesday night, and charges were pending against them for beating Mangan so badly they knocked out his teeth. He'll be unable to chew solid food for months, and will be off the job even longer.

He was called to the scene of people blocking an ambulance and was blindsided by the attack.

Felony charges were inbound, but we don't know if the offenders were released by Lyke or Thedford yet. 

How about some Civil Suits against these offenders along with the criminal proceedings? 

The Officer has a long road back.

I blame the current training and bad policy. Many officers are fearful that they might get fired being to aggressive. When aggressive is what the situation calls for.

I wish the officer well.

The FOP hasn’t been doing much and its officers are getting hurt because of the rules of engagement. John 7

This calls for something more drastic that civil suits.

Morale is lower than low. The department doesn’t have our backs and the criminals are taking advantage of everything going on. Everyone is disrespectful to police and the job sucks. The bosses are incompetent.

OMG, brass knuckles! The your lucky to be alive. The only up side is they didn’t use a gun or knife. The attackers tried to really hurt you. Do the best you can this is scary times for us police. A speedy recovery is in order and use the medical every day you need it. That’s what it’s for. Injuries like this the pain lingers for a good amount of time. The road to recovery is long and slow. Your alive and that’s the important thing. This place is only a job and in time everyone who does the grunt work realizes it.

Hey SCC here’s one for yall, the commander in 005 wants us to stop stacking multiple UCRS on a report and classify everything under one ucr to bring the crime numbers down. Rumor is he wants to be deputy chief somewhere

The Bosses are to blame. Did Snelling put anything out about this? No! It’s open season on police! The internet is filling up with Chicago Police Officers looking timid and taking crap. Exactly as the administration planned. An officer is just collateral damage. The last thing the department wants is a shooting. So sad………….

I hope the video gets released!

The young officer did exactly what they are teaching and expect. Now he has permanent damage to his body.

Was this officer working 99?

I wish there was a little more insight to what happened.

My prayers are with the police officer and his family. A speedy recovery is coming your way.

That part of 009 used to be quite in the 90’s.

It is a terrible story. The officer looks so young compared to us old fucks. The really sad thing is that nothing, and I mean nothing is going to happen to the offenders. Also, I hope insurance will cover his replacement teeth, but it probably won’t because it will be considered cosmetic. If a go fund me is going to be set up to get him some new choppers, I will definitely contribute. If you’re reading this officer….get plenty of rest and take your time coming back. The shitheads will still be there when you get back

As pops used to say, "a rap sheet as long as your arm," including battery to a police officer previously.

Dear God help the officer and family during this awful time. There will only be one set of footprints in the sand during this time ou their lives. The offenders? There will NOT be actual justice. We as a society have given our security and safety over to creeps that do not care and have NEVER missed a paycheck in the process of not caring.

This is infuriating. I really hate democrats and how they demonize police and let criminals think it's okay to do this to fellow officers. Those offenders better get lots of prison time. Just sickening.

Some people need 20 years in prison with IL's day for day 40 years. Unfortunately, our leaders & special interest believes a lack of jail solves problems. The truth is the only way out of this crime mess & sprees is a lot people in jail for decades. We could arrest our way out of this. All the rational to the contrary is a lie. Illinois probably needs 500k jail cells at IDOC as a minimum.

Again lifetime criminals that should be dropped in the lake with cement feet. But instead the good citizens have to put up with them roaming the streets intimidating those citizens in the neighborhood and committing crimes. I’m glad I’m leaving this shithole city soon. Just think of how much nicer it would be if we “took care of” the some 15000 known repeat jagoffs

Saying a prayer for this officer. Once upon a time both of these a-holes would have never made it into a lockup without a visit to the hospital first.
