Chases are Over

Predicted here by so many readers over the years, it's finally coming true:
  • Before a crash involving police killed a woman in Lake View on Wednesday night, Chicago Police radio traffic indicates the officers had been told to stop pursuing a fleeing suspect.

    Officers were told at least four times to terminate the pursuit, according to the radio traffic. Mayor Lori Lightfoot and Chicago Police Supt. David Brown declined to discuss any specifics of the pursuit during a news conference Thursday.

    In light of that crash, Lightfoot said more changes will soon come to CPD’s policy on pursuits.
Word coming in that the change is going to be "No Chasing." Ever. Period.Chase and you will be fired.

We're going to go out on a limb and predict a rise in drive-bys along with shootings where the offender jumps into a waiting car to flee. Because if we can't chase for the most serious of offenses, then the offenders are going to do exactly what it takes to get away every single time.

It's unfortunate that last night's chase ended tragically. I will say this, so many shit heads already know that we can't chase, now if they get wind of a policy that states we can NEVER chase.....well get ready for some drive bys Groot.

Policing is dead. It’s not limping. It’s not dying. It’s dead. This last week has blatantly shown us that the politicians and our top bosses hate and despise us. The question that should be asked now is where do we go from here? Why would anybody want to be the police? What’s the point? Why chase the murderer? Why stop the robbery? Why even walk into a house for a domestic? We are no longer judged by the rules of the law. We are now judged by an impossible set of subjective standards primarily propagated by the media. No matter how noble your heart is or your intentions are, your actions are spun to make you the antagonist. It sickens me to think about how much physical and emotional sacrifices officers have made through their careers to try to keep this city from crumbling, only to now be treated like the enemy. We are overworked and have been given laughably little resources to actually do our job. Naturally we look to our union to help us; but the reality is that no matter how good or bad our union president is, we ultimately have little power. The teachers can strike and get support from the media, we can’t and would not. The only thing that we have left is an impotent arbitration process. So what do we do when the smoke clears? What do we do when you can’t protect yourself or your partner? What do we do when we truly are alone?

What difference will it really make?

Cook County has a State's Attorney that won't prosecute, a Sheriff that won't incarcerate, and Judges that won't give jail time.

The only one with any skin in the game (aside from the victims) is the lowly P.O., who at this stage has nothing to gain, but so much to lose.

Yes I agree SCC This was a looter from the suburbs. A lot of inexperienced young supervisors with no patrol experience and young dumb officers that can’t sit for a second and operate mini vans not squads at 100 mph it goes on everywhere and if an officer tells them otherwise they mock him or her. Get well soon officers these assholes will try and charge you with that ladies Homicide. Frankly they have plenty of violations of GOs. Live but learn

It’s truly sad for everyone. I’ll never understand why cops still chase. I understand the desire to rid the community of bad people but you are putting yourself in danger and the innocent. Also, you’ve been told for years that you will be punished and possibly sued. Now more than ever you need to heed that warning. They will destroy your life for chasing. They will consider charging you. Don’t let this happen. They are giving criminals the upper hand in every way. You just have to protect yourself. That’s all that’s left.

How many times has it been typed on this board - Do Not Chase- it will end badly for you- they will take your job, your house, and your freedom!
DO NOT CHASE!
In fact do nothing. Do less then zero. Drive slowly to every job, show up, write a complaint, then leave. The political hacks hate your guts, the residents of this city hate you, and the boot licking bosses on this empty suit of a job hate you most of all.
Find a nice part- time gig- don't take a second
worth of ot on this job( unless pensionable), spend as little time in the bag as possible, while you are working- do no police work at all. NO PULLING OVER CARS, NO STOPPING PEOPLE, NO PLAYING COP AT ALL, THOSE DAYS ARE GONE. Show up, park, do nothing, repeat.
If your partner insists on playing cop, find a new one, or best of all, find a nice inside gig with steady rdo's ( hense more time to work your part-time gig).
Let this city earn what it so richly deserves, do nothing till you can retire, or get off this job.

Dummies. Totally preventable.

You did know that PH1 as well as a news helicopter had eyes on dude, right?

Why in the hell wouldn’t you just lay back and let the guys in the sky call it out while you and other ground troops worked your way towards dude SAFELY?

Unless you have a death wish, it’s INEXCUSABLE to take an intersection against the light at ANY speed, let alone 75+.

We’ve been preaching about vehicle chases for years, yet you newbs can never seem to figure it out. When this pursuit policy is rewritten, I hope the geniuses at the law department also amend our Vehicle Operations order to make proceeding through an intersection against the light while on routine patrol an automatic day. It’s fucking ridiculous watching squad cars roll through intersections, even after coming to a complete stop, because they can’t wait for the green. Unless you’re rolling to a priority job, there’s absolutely no reason you can’t wait for the light like a member of the general public. These plainclothes turds seem to be the most egregious violators. Someone needs to let them know that their 10 stacked ”SELLING” jobs in 011 aren’t priorities.

How many of these chases end up with a trip down to traffic court in addition to the probable cause, or is that just piling on?
Guessing one can say Traffic Court too or will it be overloaded with just passive, compliant, licensed and insured taxpayers?

There is nothing good to say about the chase. Tragedy all over the place. Watching the horrific video and crash hurts to the core. Groot's gonna make the changes but there will be consequences.

If true, Groot will be our very first Chicago Murder Queen and the puppet, Dallas Brown will be her first Court Jester. That's right I didn't include Special Ed as the Jester.

While Ed was corrupt and stupid and he came up the merit ranks. He knew the job and value of protecting the citizens. Ed's corruption, lying and scandalous behavior did him in. BTW: How's that investigation of the cover up, of the cover up, by IG Ferguson. Asking for a friend.

Meanwhile, the city is in shambles and broken, and Groot is lecturing us all about the Rona. Telling the protesters, looters and rioters to check for China Flu, mask and social distancing. Stay home for 14 days if you have symptoms. Every other word out her mouth is "my city, my city". Fuck you. Coppers showing any sign of the Rona should go on medical and seek professional medical attention.

The Democrats barely dragged you across the finish line in the run offs. You won basically cuz Toni the Goiter is a bigger loser than you. So Groot sold us out and let them rape the city.

The police will be soon be just report takers and do little per your orders. Cut services and defund us. Your call, cuz you own this fucking mess - you and Gov Fat Ass. Its between you and the Community. Groot will make Chicago great again. Right after bankruptcy.

If you are watchful and vigilant to deter crime and criminals (it used to be your mere presence alone sometimes) I've always defended and will continue doing so. I'm tired of whiney ass lil bitches "how come poleece can go thru the light but I have to wait - boo hoo"

A few years ago Milwaukee instituted an absolute no chase policy. It was a disaster. They backed it down a bit.

As for defunding the police, crime statistics would plummet.

Yes, PLUMMET.

Crime statistics are based on crimes reported to the police. If there are no police to report it to, is it a crime?

But then who would pick up the dead bodies?

They are dismantling CPD piece by piece. Death by a Thousand cuts they call it. I am going to seriously be considering a career change in the aftermath of this. Put Chicago in the rear view mirror, and pretend this was all a bad dream. Don't think I wont do it. You'd be wrong.
They told me that this was the best job in the world, and the finest and most modern police department in the country my first day at the academy. Understaffed, Overworked, Under appreciated, lack of proper Equiptment and supplies, working for out of touch bosses, and under scrutiny for every detail of my work.
And all of this for a pension that may not be there in 15 years? Are you kidding me? This entire department is run on deception and lies. We call it smoke and mirrors. Call it a Dog and Pony show. It's a shit show either way, and I'm not alone in this.
I am predicting that no one will take this job in the near future. Maybe as a stop gap job between gigs, but no one will take this job to police anymore. They will lower the standards of hiring once again, to make new hires, and the speed at which this city is circling the drain will increase.

Now Larry and her puppy will flame and perhaps try to fire the officers for their decision. RIP the lady killed. Tragic, really sad. And Another lawsuit for Chicago. Groot will never blame the criminal running, only the cop chasing.

People damn well better arm themselves to protect their family and their neighborhood. Funny thing that hypocrites like Groot still will have 75 coppers protecting their family and their castle. If voters don't wake up and vote these fools out, things will get worse. Unfortunately people are stuck in the selfish it couldn't happen to me mindset. The politicians cowards will still want and demand protection by cops from the people. Oh the irony of it all. I wish CWBChicago would highlight all the goofs and hypocritical moves by this mayor.

I dont have a lot of information regarding this chase so I won't pretend to know what happened. But I will raise a few issues here

1). If the officers were indeed told 4 times to terminate and disobeyed that order 4 times there should be severe consequences. We cant have officers blindly deciding not to follow a lawful order whether we agree with the order or not

2). Before this goofy mayor gets involved again in the day to day operations of CPD, hopefully cooler heads (and hopefully smarter heads) will prevail and changes can be made to the policy. These may be stricter or easier to understand. But to totally and blanketedly eliminate chases will NOT be the answer. At least not the correct answer.

3).The city needs to examine new technology that is out there and available to police agencies to safely stop these chases before another tragedy happens.

Explain why it is unfortunate that the officers who defied a lawful order will be made examples of. Sometimes we as officers make our own problems. We simply can not have officers deciding not to follow orders (lawful orders). If anyone needs to be made an example of, who would be better than these officers.

This whole problem goes back to proper training. CPD does not have good training. Recruits that should be fired are coddled and passed through when they have no business being on this job. Unit that changes, expect more of the same

I'll show them cops. That kind of silly fool. Still ya better gibs me protection at my crib, Brownie. That's an order.

Rich people in the UK hire security to protect their homes, their woke police forces too busy chasing internet comments that differ from their opinion. South Africa, a cesspool of crime, even high walls, electric gates don't stop them. Security businesses are booming because their police force is so very ineffective, lazy and even corrupt. Looks like we are heading the same way. Of course the big mouths like Groot will have protection at any cost to neighborhoods or average people. Folks better wake up. I can see a mass exodus from these cities that talk of defunding police. Then who is left? Love to see the crime numbers after this happens in these cities. Oh well let the new SJW cops deal with it. The 5' x 5' women that are passed along due to color and gender. Give everyone a hug and kneel down for black people and say sorry and beg for forgiveness, the new order in the CPD.

Urban chases are always chancy, and in this era of air support and radios, of little utility. Add the lack of training inherent in today's junior officers and we have a prescription for disaster. Not to judge the officers involved; that kangaroo court is already in session, but we have to be realistic about levels of training. In an earlier day, potential officers were driving fools in high school. But with the lack of driver's ed programs, increased fuel costs and the like, the modern recruit has nothing compared to the background of an officer from the 70s, as an example. Let's consider why the USAF is dominant in the air. Our AF can afford to give the maximal air time to the pilot. Imagine being going up against even a comparable air frame when the opposing number has had hundreds of hours to your 20/year, if lucky. Simulators and GTA games do not a race driver make. When I was a kid we used to find parking lots and fields to do all manner of Burt Reynolds sh*t. We also had track racing backgrounds. The idea that a limited module can, or should prepare a recruit for the hazardous conditions of a chase is not conceivable, yet we have youngsters involved in this kind of insanity. Nothing outruns a radio, and those that crash don't finish seem to be lessons inadequately taught.

Why in the hell wouldn’t you just lay back and let the guys in the sky call it out while you and other ground troops worked your way towards dude SAFELY?

Because the chase had crossed so many districts and radio zones, I would bet not everyone knew about the choppers or that it may have been terminated. Once again, don't assume; wait for the thorough investigation to be completed. But, we can all see that some guys just do not understand the concept of defensive driving. Lights & sirens demand the right of way; they don't guarantee it.

Wrong. Dispatchers were “passing it off” to the respective Zones (and surrounding suburbs) as it unfolded. But you’re correct in your last sentence.

Sorry but I saw the video of the crash. 75 to 80 through Ashland and Irving Park without hitting the brakes. My God ! Slow the fuck down! That poor woman. If these officers survive, they should be FIRED! That could have been anyone's family member who was struck and killed. Those officers deserve what they get. Total and complete recklessness!

This is what happens when you try to chase someone that is crazy, stupid, reckless or desperate. They lead you into horrible situations. Sure they caught the guy but a woman paid for it with her life. It was an avoidable tragedy that was precipitated by the chase. The officers involved should definitely pay for it in some way. Cops should treat mistakes in the same way that surgeons or pilots do...as unacceptable. Instead of viewing mistakes like weathermen do...as entirely permissible.

The public doesn't hate cops. What we hate is cops tolerating poor performance and behavior. We want excellence and if we saw police demanding excellence and holding themselves to a higher standard then we wouldn't have to.

Where's the stop strips or disable switches? Absent that, no chases. Pity the abducted person, rape victim, or the domestic violence victim in the offender vehicle. Oh well.

Recently retired after 36 years, (99% spent in the ghetto) I never thought that I'd be saying this, but from what I see on the news every day; from what I read here on SCC; why are any of you doing any police work? There is a national movement to "defund" and "eliminate" the police. You can bet that Groot will soon be behind this as well. Go to work, respond to your jobs at the posted speed limit, obeying all traffic laws and if the offender is gone, write a report.

When the incidents of domestic violence go through the ceiling, they'll want the police back. That's the only crime that the socialist left cares about.

When the whole country was on quarantine, the Democrats closed churches, told you that treatment of any medical condition was "elective" and banned you from seeking treatment.

Yet, they designated liquor stores, marijuana dispensaries as "essential" and made sure that abortions (the very definition of an elective medical procedure) were all good!

They are trying to ruin this great country. Vote for Donald Trump and Patrick O'Brien for State's Attorney. May God bless us all.

For no obvious reason cops in Chicago seem unable to exercise good judgement regarding chases. They even routinely ignore orders to terminate chases. Short of firing every cop that doesn't exercise good judgement or doesn't obey orders, about all that can be done is ban chases.

So.... when you are chasing a car at 80mph, what result are you hoping for? That he will eventually pull over? How are you going to stop the car? In this case the driver was known. Why chase him? Just get him another day. WTF!

The solution to ending vehicle pursuits in my opinion is technology.
There has to be some type of lazer gun that when aimed at a vehicle it disables it.
I know people will say they lost their brakes and steering when the engine died. But you don't, you just lose the power Assist to the brakes and steering they still work. Many of us have driven cars that did not have power steering and power brakes.
The second solution is to make fleeing a more serious felony, but they are letting rapists and murders out of jail now.

Since we now know that Covid-19 is a racist virus that 'disproportionately affects the black and LatinX communities' they will be tracked first or suffer loss of benefits.

More policy changes coming, so Groot tells Moon or rather make that Spacey-doggie what to do. He locates the x and signs his name. That's all he is. Just an arrogant ass in a suit taking orders from the mad little progressive dictator and bumping fists with like progressive merit fools. What a hero he was at the riots. Can't wait to read that fable in his new book. Cousin It wants to be famous for his reforms and thinks it could lead to bigger things in the DNC. You see me. everyone looking, watch me now. I'll show them cops. That kind of silly fool. Still ya better gibs me protection at my crib, Brownie. That's an order.

Rich people in the UK hire security to protect their homes, their woke police forces too busy chasing internet comments that differ from their opinion. South Africa, a cesspool of crime, even high walls, electric gates don't stop them. Security businesses are booming because their police force is so very ineffective, lazy and even corrupt. Looks like we are heading the same way. Of course the big mouths like Groot will have protection at any cost to neighborhoods or average people. Folks better wake up. I can see a mass exodus from these cities that talk of defunding police. Then who is left? Love to see the crime numbers after this happens in these cities. Oh well let the new SJW cops deal with it. The 5' x 5' women that are passed along due to color and gender. Give everyone a hug and kneel down for black people and say sorry and beg for forgiveness, the new order in the CPD. And really these days I wouldn't be a bit surprised.

Dude, that's a real police dept. CPD isn't. Although we have real cops, the admin way this place is run is laughable. We don't have portable fingerprint tablets to run warrant checks, most MDT don't work well, the radio system is antiquated, no less lethal shotguns, no pepper ball guns, (the previous 2 should be out in the districts all the time), a chopper with a 20 year old mapping system and as a matter of fact, what, 2 choppers that are down more than up? And please, let's not even address the simplistic inferior use of force, defensive tactics, subject control training that we get. I'm out. Age 50 in 2 months and trust me I'm gone. I can find security companies that are more sophisticated than this childishly run dept.

Never gonna happen. Just a few idiots trying to push a radical agenda. Cities need police, plain and simple. Was surprised when this was brought up about defunding school officers, Lightfoot stated they need police in the schools. Funding isnt a problem. If the CTU or another group gets the CPS to defund the schools, Lightfoot will just fund them thru the CPD budget

6/05/2020 08:22:00 PM

Under a no chase ever policy, it will be forbidden. If you cannot somehow secure the offender before he is able to get behind the wheel and drive away or if the offender is already behind the wheel and you cannot somehow keep the offender from driving away without injuring your self or others or you cannot somehow disable the vehicle, without severely damaging it, before the offender is able to drive it away, a flash message on the radio is your responsibility and you can monitor the radio for any ensuing information while you write the paper. Sad, but true.

If another officer was not shot or killed STOP! cant get any simpler than that.Why risk your job, life and family for something that someone will.be out in a few hours for anyway.

Youre right in saying there will be an increase in crime with a No-Chase policy, no dougt about it. I can only say, though, that @15 years or so ago I and a Sgt. from 004 went to the meeting downtown after the Asian woman was killd after a Tact. Sgt. ran into her during a chase downtown, I believe. As it was THEN, the whole meeting was summed up in 5 words, and I quote: Dont Chase No Fucking Body. I dont argee with it, it blows, but they said it then. Theyre not gonna lighten up now. Ive been in numerous chases back then. I understand the desire to catch the bad guy. YOU CANT DO IT BECAUSE THEY WONT ALLOW IT. Thats a fact. Dont throw your life and the lives of your families away so you can play Starsky and Hutch. They got to go home when the cameras stopped. You will be fucked for wanting what they supposedly hired you for but changed the game plan midway through the game.

I was there. I was involved. I saw the dead woman, and I saw the blood running down the doors of the CPD squad car. This is partly the fault of the officers involved, and partly the fault of the offender in the stolen vehicle. However, it is mostly the fault of the CPD Administration who is not offering proper training and equipment to handle pursuits.

PH1 was up. PH1 did a terrible job of providing information. WGN News helicopter and a couple cell phone calls was the reason that the offender was picked up on LSD by ISP. My heart is heavy that an innocent woman was killed. I hope a couple learning lessons:
- PH1, do a better job. You guys are pretty terrible compared to police aviation units around the country. Guys didn't need to be blowing red lights if you would be giving appropriate updates.
- Clear your intersections. I saw the POD camera. That was bad.
- CPD Administration, provide your officers with pursuit termination devices.
- Teach PIT maneuvers to your Officers. Allow forcible stop techniques. This could have been over in 10 seconds in the gas station if your Officers were not afraid of ramming a vehicle to get it to stop. A woman would be alive if you allowed your Officers to do this.

Until you do all (or at least some) of the above, things like the other night will continue to happen. The officers in this case will very sadly be hung out to dry, while the Administration and supervisors will hide behind "terminate." Chicago news stations, take note: IF, and a BIG IF, CPD would have permitted their Officers to safely ram the hijacked vehicle in the gas station, this woman would be alive today. Pursuits without stop sticks, PIT maneuvers, ramming, are only "wait until he/she kills somebody" gambles. They (assholes) will not stop. We (Police) must make them stop. PERIOD.

Playing GTA and watching car porn like Fast and Stupdious does not make for experience. Watching them blow that intersection was painful. Tunnel vision was obvious. No way in hell the operator had jack squat for experience, yet here we are running through intersections like a freaking action movie. And they were called off more than once? Was the radio out? I have seen jurisdictions get away with this kind of happy horseshit, with impunity, but not under the present circumstances. And nor should they. Mother of 6, smacked by NASCAR wannabees. This is really not going to end well for all.
