Hero to the Very End

One arrest so far, and the rest of the incident details are being released:

  • A 16-year-old boy has been charged in connection with the murder of a retired Chicago police officer, CPD Supt. Larry Snelling said during a press conference on Monday night.The teen boy is facing first-degree murder charges, Snelling said, and investigators are still searching for a second suspect.

    "In a brazen and senseless act of violence, Larry's life was taken from him by the very people he committed his life to helping," Snelling said.

    [...] CPD Chief of Detectives Antoinette Ursitti said retired Chicago Police Officer Larry Neuman, 73, was outside his West Garfield Park home on Thursday afternoon, paying a worker who was cutting his grass, when he saw two people with guns approach.

    Neuman, seeing that the two offenders were armed, heroically pushed the worker out of the way, Ursitti said. Neuman then took his own firearm out of his waistband, and that's when the two suspects fired, striking him. Neuman was able to fire at the suspects, who then fled on foot, Ursitti said.

Serving and Protecting to the very last. 

It sounds like they have a lead on the second offender. Hopefully apprehended soon.

My God, this man lived a life that none of us could live up to. A perfect line SCC!! In the last seconds of his life he served & protected. It sickens me that these two little M Fing little scum bags (if Crimesha actually prosecutes while still dripping W/ root beer) put these two animals in prison where they will live like kings because they killed a cop!! What has happened to this country. In the last week how many teens killed older people & small children? I am hoping that these little bastards are passed around the cell block for a few years wearing a beautiful shade of lipstick & some sexy undies! I will personally donate $100 to the IDOC so they can buy condoms so they stay disease free & are punch boards for the next 20-30 years.

Shame on you, CPD, for your lack of concern of our retirees, while in reality you do nothing to look after them. Typical All Talk, No Action BS, crickets to all retirees from CPD Administration, unless of course one of our retirees becomes involved in something newsworthy.

You are correct once your the real police you are always the real police! The city and the pathetic gold star idiots dont care, but they love getting that free press! Will brandon honor this hero? How about the 50 followers? Nope of course not Godspeed brother. How about when larry came in and got rid of the retirees at the academy teaching the constitutional policing that were fully paid by the government? He brought in the new kids on the block over 100 to "teach" the clueless teaching the veterans but it is not working out so well! So less coppers on the streets! What about bringing retired coppers back for inside spots in order to put "secretaries with guns," back on the streets? What happened? Did they get the hollywood couch treatment?

Hate to say it, but Foxx is going to say the teen was in fear of his life when he saw Larry pulling his gun out and fired in self defense. Charged with UUW and released to his mama. Later it will be learned he received all A’s and B’s in school and all charges will be dropped.

Leave SCC alone. For soon he will be retired and see what it’s like not having to show up some place every day and have to worry about days off being cancelled and time with family missed. That is unless he is retiring from the D unit then nothing changes. Snicker snicker. Most retirees are forgotten and the majority of them like it that way. Out of sight out of mind.

Why are specifically black retired cops staying in the city after they leave? They know the neighborhood is toxic and it's only a matter of time before it takes their life.
Get out guys, there is no need to try to make it better anymore, you spent 20+ years trying, and you see how that worked out.
Pack up and get before the savages eat you like they are being taught to do.

If this isn’t the final straw to unite a city and call for political responsibility nothing is. Larry was and will always be a Saint and Role Model to be honored to know him. He was a Patriot and Police Officer to the end. He didn’t see color or religion or community as an excuse to rape, pillage and destroy. Rest in Peace my friend and our only hope is that this spurs drastic change.

I am a TSA co-worker and friend of Larry. I first met him a few years ago when he transferred to MDW. Despite only knowing him for a few years the mentorship and knowledge he shared with felt like a lifetime. I want to thank SCC and all of you for all of the kind words that you have shared regarding Officer Neuman. His loss has really hurt all of us. His actions on the day of his senseless and tragic murder does not surprise me. He would often walk our TSA staff members to their cars even when we would say he didn’t have to. He was a true protector.

I wanted to share with you all that Larry’s last day at work was on Wednesday, June 19th. On that night MDW had an Honor Flight arrive during the latter part of Larry’s shift. He was present for the flight and took great delight in greeting the veterans/his brothers who were arriving from a day in DC. The majority of the flight was composed of Vietnam veterans.

I am so thankful to have known Larry. God bless his family and all first responders.

From the Slum Times:
“ At the time of the shooting, the teen was on court-ordered home confinement after violating his electronic monitoring agreement several times in a separate case charged in juvenile court. In that case, Watt was found in possession of a gun with an extended magazine and automatic switch after crashing a stolen car, according to prosecutors, who said the office is also expected to charge him with a separate carjacking in March.”

Where in the world is the outrage in the Black Community with the murder of a pillar in the community? There should be a movement for actual change and not just a standard march around a block with fake holy men and advocates and a bullhorn and t-shirts. Real actual change means calling out the failure in the Black Community of the Men staying in the home to raise their children. Nothing more or nothing less, that IS THE PROBLEM.
