Off Duty Officer Killed

Headed home after work....and his car and gun are missing:

  • A Chicago police officer was shot to death two days before his 31st birthday on the Southwest Side early Sunday, authorities said. Just before 3 a.m., paramedics responded to the 3100 block of West 56th Street for an officer shot, according to the Chicago Fire Department.

    The officer, a 30-year-old man, was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center, where he died due to his injuries, Supt. Larry Snelling told reporters outside of the University of Chicago Sunday morning. The officer was heading home after his shift when he was shot multiple times, Snelling said. He worked for the department for six years.

    “We lost one of our own today,” Snelling said. “He was just a great officer, great human being.”

    He didn’t confirm that the shooting was the result of a carjacking but did say the officer’s vehicle was taken.

Deepest sympathies to his family, friends and co-workers. More info will be forthcoming when it becomes available.

Absolutely ridiculous, of course it was a freaking carjacking at 0300hrs. I hate it so much, we gotta crack down on this stuff AND have the courts actually follow through. So many victims of this dumb stuff. RIP and my condolences, watch your six, lock your doors, and check on your friends/family. Condolences to the family and coworkers.

And after 6 hours, no word from the mayor yet. Not present at the conference with Snelling. NBC has reached out to the mayors office with no word back.

Un Fucking Believeable.

If that's not sending a message of "Fuck You" I don't know what is.

Listen to the radio calls. Shot spotter alerted to four shots. Then discprency of addresses assuming because of the alley. Citizen called in a man down. Again, radios absolutely suck, back & forth with dispatch about calling a 10/1 or even tracking down his stolen car.

Just a blip on morning news.

Maybe Andrea Kersten can go on ESPN to talk about this. She can talk about her share of the blame. When you make the police out to be the enemy, it emboldens the criminals. When you refuse to acknowledge or effectively punish those who commit violent crimes, it emboldens the criminals. This city has given criminals no reason not to shoot the police. They don't see the police as the good guys. They don't see themselves as ever having to pay for their crimes. So things like this happen. RIP to this officer and may his family and friends get peace and justice. To whomever is directly responsible for his death, I hope you die in the street like the worthless scum that you are. As for the mayor, preckwinkle, foxx, kersten, etc., I hope these criminals prey on you soon, and I hope the police aren't around to help.

The blood 🩸 of this young officer is on the hands of the Democrat Party. Every single one of these Progressive Democrats allow criminals to remain free or release them early. Don’t believe them when they act all sad and solemn…because they do NOT care! They don’t care about police officers or the innocent citizens who live in fear. Make no mistake…these Democrats are wolves in sheep’s clothing. They may call themselves Progressive Democrats, but they are really Marxists, Socialists, and Democrats. They want revolution….and one of the means to obtain the Revolution is to demoralize law enforcement and the public. Vote Republican. Get your family and friends to vote Republican. In four years, vote for whoever you like. There needs to be a shakeup. May this officer Rest In Peace. May God give strength to his family, friends, and coworkers.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

If they not going to lockup the criminals they need to lift residency. I Know that was a condition of employment but since the dems and courts are failing to do their job and keep streets safe we have grounds to try and get it lifted. If scum politicians not going to hold up their end of the bargain we should be able to take our families to safer areas.

Get it to arbitration and we have a small chance of winning. Any normal objective person can see the logic and would allow us to bolt.

As much as I would love for these POSs to never see the inside of a courtroom, being permanently late for their next birthday would satisfy many of us, I’d rather see them caught and given life sentences with no possibility of parole. They may be the king of their cell block, get three squares, medical, etc, etc, but they will never know freedom and those little things that make freedom so precious. Their lives will be filled with torment, confined by bars, walls, and wire. They will become the walking dead going thru the act of living, but in reality dying a little each day, suffering, knowing that living free will be forever out of their grasp.

Lets stop blaming just the criminal for this action. Yes. The POS should be fully held responsible and punished to the highest extent possible. However, when are we going to start posting the court officials names who allow these REPEAT offenders to consistently walk away time and time again. When there is no punishable consequences for actions, these low life thugs will continue to repeat and carry out violent acts over and over again. Yet, police are getting monday morning quarterbacked for emptying their rounds into an offender who shot at them first? Lets look at how many rounds were shot at this officer? Anything on the news about it? Because sure looked like a lot. Pathetic. Be safe out there brothers and sisters in blue. Its dangerous and will even get worse.

Well, that meaning a lot to you = dicksquat to anyone not brain rotted from immersion in democrat shit soup.

Respect is not a democrat trait, not even a little.

Faking it, every it imaginable, is the democrat quality prime.

This turd head can demonstrate respect by hunting down the murderers and presenting their heads in one big bucket to the citizens most aggrieved, aka the Chicago Police Department, in toto.

It's Illinois. Even life without parole doesn't guarantee they won't be out on the streets again. Death may be too good for cop killers, but as long as torture is illegal, it's the best option. Public execution would be a nice way to send a message too. Maybe a firing squad with bad aim.

This is completely ridiculous. It's highly likely, given the area where this occurred, that the offenders are Hispanic. It's still very possible they are black, since their carjackings and shootings have spread across the entire city and suburbs. But to say Hispanic gangbangers don't do such things is just idiotic. Guess who's doing the carjackings that aren't done by black people? That's right, it's Hispanics. Brian Strouse was on duty when he was killed by Hector Delgado. I don't know who Emonte Morgan's daddy is, or his mother Evalena Flores' racial makeup, but he killed Ella French and tried to kill two other officers, and he looks at least part Hispanic. Cartel members, who are known to commit pretty much every heinous violent act you can think of, tend to be Hispanic. You think they wouldn't kill a police officer? From the limited info I heard, this officer was wearing his uniform, but it was under a jacket, so the offenders may not have even known he was the police, which is what I'm sure they'll say when caught. Do you believe Hispanic males don't shoot other Hispanic males? Stop trying to excuse a whole race of people as if it's impossible for them to commit a certain crime. People of every race have committed every crime. Don't praise Hispanic gangbangers as being above this type of crime, because they just aren't.
