Quick Guilty Plea
We'll say this was the fastest conviction plea we can remember:
The woman federally charged after buying the gun used in the Swedish Hospital shooting, which killed a Chicago police officer and wounded another, has pleaded guilty.
Back in late April, Olivia Burgos, 23, of LaPorte, was charged with making a material false statement in acquisition of a firearm.
The documents state that Burgos bought a Glock 29, 10 millimeter pistol from Range USA in Merrillville on May 27, 2024.
A chaotic scene unfolded on the North Side on the morning of April 25. CPD officer John Bartholomew, who was a 10-year veteran of the police department, and his partner brought Alphonso Talley to Swedish Hospital after he was taken into custody for an attempted robbery.
Talley asked to be checked out at the hospital. Before a CT scan, police said Talley pulled out a gun and shot both officers. Bartholomew, 38, died as a result and the other officer made a recovery.
Um....we don't think he's "made a recovery." Not even close.
This quick plea deal hints at a cooperative witness, but it sounds like she pled to the Federal charge. Is she still facing any State charges?
Can a Federal plea deal be used as leverage in a State murder case? The shooter wasn't charged Federally, was he?

fighting for a somewhat return of normalcy
I don't think the shooter was charged by the feds, no.
The Great Marxist Inversion continues -
Police = enemy of valuable criminals unleashed on us all by "Democratic Socialists," etc.
West Virginia town fires entire police force after chief resigns, sergeant alleges evidence room break-in
Former chief Zachary Freeburn's letter alleges a council member claimed direct authority over the department in breach of state law
In December 2025, the department announced Zachary Freeburn's appointment as its new full-time chief of police, highlighting his graduation from the West Virginia State Police Academy, his bachelor's degree in criminal justice and his advanced Drug Recognition Expert certification.
"We look forward to continuing to rebuild and strengthen our department to better serve our community, and we are excited to once again have a full-time officer leading our agency," the department wrote at the time.

Oh please Baby Jesus let me end up on her jury at 26th Street...PLEASE...
TT YoYo Talley is proud
You expected the truth out of the media?
"made a recovery" thats comical.
SCC get this. The ghost of Heineken lives on. Apparently one of his drinking pals from 018 used every phone call to get to the range, only to leave after a few months because, according to J.S. “the instructors weren’t trained adequately to his liking.” So I asked around. He left because he wasn’t getting along with the instructors because he showed up with arrogance and acted like he wrote the manual for training. It gets better, he hits the medical at the end, few weeks before change day. I always thought JS was something else, but it all makes sense. Anyone associated with Hein always carries baggage that no one is willing to tolerate. You’re an idiot kid, you just burned every phonecall and now no one will vouch for you. Should’ve kept your mouth shut like you were told to.
What a fucking joke
Off topic but can we highlight these scumbag/ do nothing inspectors entrapping officers at court and writing them up for the most frivolous infractions. Firstly you’re welcome CPD brass that these officers are even doing any semblance of police work in this climate and then showing up for their cases. If you have a bump card and you are keeping your beard neat, you should not be getting a write up for that. Also hearing that an officer was written up for carrying a ball cap into court check in. Not wearing it, carrying it. His personal property! Another example was a write up for shoelaces being too long and “showing” on a pair of work boots. What the fuck happened to this department?! I know we only promote the best and brightest but can someone pull the leash back on these braindead inspectors, enough is enough!
Why would there be a jury if she pled guilty?
What fed agency got those charges?
Half days and free days are over for HQ officers!!!! New swiping in and out of the building and the parking lot!!!!
You know they are desperate for some kind of order and respect writing chicken shit gigs. What they don't know is the CPD Titanic has already hit the iceberg.
They need an excuse for being such a tax payer waste of money! We don’t need them! Making all that money for this petty shit? What about LTs and sgts do inspections instead and save tax payers money! Such easy ways to save money but it’s like we’re living in the twilight zone where certain things make no sense this does need to be highlighted
Fuck these inspectors. They look in the mirror and know they ain’t shit and never been shit! A bunch of overpaid losers who got they ass beat in high school so now they fuckin wit everyone
A bunch of cowards too, they sit in the corner and write your name down and trick on you after the fact. Don’t even have the balls to say shit to your face
You’d think in the summer when we are used and abused to the brink of exhaustion they’d take the boot off the back of our fuckin necks and pull their dogs off us
At least they got rid of the little weasel court Sgt. That guy was a clown.
is it too much to ask for you to wear the uniform appropriately and not show up like you crawled out from a cardboard box on lower wacker?
Imagine getting captains pay, around 200,000 a year to ride around and fuck with coppers. Not answering any jobs or doing any real police work. Just fucking with working coppers.
Ya that weasel court Sgt was a turd but at least he wasn’t giving out deviations. The new “DEI” Sgt is deviating anyone and everyone that doesn’t get put in and giving everyone a hard time coming through the door. Her ass will assist these inspectors with POs information while they sit there taking down names. Sometimes the devil you know, is better than the one you don’t
Simple solution: don’t do any work and you won’t have to go to court. Show up, answer calls, and go home. Retire with your pension and sanity and move the fuck out of this shithole city. Let it burn!
Troll
Writing people up for frivolous infractions.... sounds like tact teams arresting a dopw and putting 8 officers on the arrest report, then no one going to court on it.
Can you provide us a list of "frivolous" infractions that police officers should not be written up for? Kind of like those activists who don't want certain laws enforced when broken by certain peoples and folks....
Screw the inspectors by showing up to work in the attire you are paid to wear.
When you get enough time on the job, you can bid for a summer furlo and won't have to worry about it.
The idea is to steal back accrued hours that you have earned by staying late, working holidays and going to court. NEVER give up your hours in lieu of being given a day off without pay. You lose eight hours AND you also work that day instead? The last time I was given a day off WOP I attached it into my days off, put in for Special on my RDO. Got my two days off, made time and a half. Take the hit, save your hours, and make it work for you. NEVER GIVE THEM SHIT.
Have a summer furlough you sausage, it’s called making a generalization. Reading comprehension is hard, I know it’s okay
Yeah, finally got enough time on to push that boot off. 7A and 8A furlough with a 7B extension. My neck feels better already.
