Attempted Disarming
A Chicago police officer’s weapon discharged during an attempt to arrest a suspect accused of being in possession of a stolen vehicle early Tuesday in North Lawndale.
Around 3:40 a.m., Ogden Police District officers in the 1600 block of South Drake Avenue were trying to arrest a male for possession of a stolen vehicle when he tried to disarm an officer, police said.
An officer’s weapon discharged during the struggle, authorities said. No one was struck by gunfire. The officer suffered minor injuries and was taken to an area hospital in fair condition, officials said. The suspect was arrested and taken to Mount Sinai Hospital for minor injuries, according to police.
The officers involved in the shooting will be placed on routine administrative duties for at least 30 days.The Civilian Office of Police Accountability was investigating the shooting.
If it turns out the suspect discharged the Officer's weapon, does he have to serve the thirty-days off of the street?
But if that happened, you can bet COPA is going to hand out ten or twenty days.

No respect for the police.
As if 30 days inside is a bad thing…
watch how copa will now do a quick "investigation" for once and find that the offender acted in appropriate and lawful manner consistent with department rules and regulations
Sig 320???
These OIS incidents seem to be happening on a weekly basis. I wonder if our 100 million dollar OGVR has figured out what demographic is behind most of this.
