The 391 killings by police that were ruled justifiable in 2007 were the most since 1994, according to FBI statistics. The 254 killings by private individuals found to be self-defense were the most since 1997.
The FBI says a homicide committed by a private citizen is justified when a person is killed during the commission of a felony, such as a robbery.
Police are justified, the FBI says, when felons are killed while the officer is acting in the line of duty.
BE SAFE OFFICERS AND GET SOME RANGE TIME IN!!
THANK GOD THE OFF-DUTY PO IS OK.
Its great that the officer is ok from a traumatic incident. We should all pratice with our weapons as often as possible.
Too bad the P.O. did not shot the
ka-ka roach
Usually when someone brings a knife to a gunfight it goes the other way.......
What's interesting is that he only slashed the officer's face AFTER he knew he was the police!! That is the climate which we are working under.
I wish the officer a speedy recovery, but I'm curious to know if the perp was homeless. I used to work in that area, and the homeless people were getting damn near violent in their confrontations.
Thoughts and prayers sent to the officer for a complete recovery.
I was watching the channel 9 morning news and they had this story. They did not indicate the hero involved was an off-duty police officer. When we do something wrong they can't say we're an off-duty Chicago police officer fast enough but if we take heroic action, we could be anyone.
CITIZEN BRUTALITY!!! WHERES THE REVS??? WHERES THE MARCH??? WHERES THE PROTEST AND THE OUTRAGE AND THE ANGER OVER THIS SENSELESS CITIZEN BRUTALITY??? IF OUR SCHOOLS WERE FUNDED THIS CITIZEN BRUTALITY WOULDNT TAKE PLACE!!! THE CITIZENS MUST BE RACIST AGAINST THE MEN IN BLUE!! THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!! CITIZEN BRUTALITY!!!
Barak will make sure that police powers are severely curbed just like he did in the Illinois General Assembly. Thank him for those stupid stickers you have to put on your tickets.
Any info on the 10-1 in 024? Is everyone okay, I hope...
IPRA wants you to stay in your house after work so you don't get in any incidents off duty regardless of if you are a victim or coming to the aid of another.

Much prayers to the Officer involved for a speedy recovery. Great job as well!!! On duty or off we are all targets. Peace. And stay safe out there boys and girls.
was watching WGN news this afternoon guess what NO MENTION THAT HE WAS AN OFF DUTY PO!!! But you better BELIEVE that the 2 shit heads who threw rocks at someones car only to get called to task on it.... (probably a local gang banger how many cops these days would let a round go just to make a point too much TV for these kids) YOU BETTER BELIEVE THEY LABELED THE MAN A POSSIBLE OFF DUTY PO!!! OR ARDELEAN... OR ABBATTE OR BURGE yep EVERYTIME THEY GET THAT LABEL RIGHT ON BUT OFF DUTY PO GETS SLASHED HELPING SOMEONE AND THE NEWS CANT EVEN GIVE US CREDIT FOR A HEROIC ACT FUCK YOU MEDIA FUCK YOU
just look on garfield blvd at the expressway (94). their are about 10-12 different alleged homeless scumbags harrasing motorists on any given day or night in the middle up the road on each side of the expressway. the police don't do a damn thing about it and it's all happening directly under those pretty expensive and obviously useless police cameras. these people beg for money, block traffic, sell stolen goods and threaten drivers and endanger everybody. you tell them "no" and they keep asking. a similar incident will happen here for sure. why isn't anything done about this?
There's a fence between the drive-through at Portillo's and this gas station, so I've watched the show at the gas station more often than I should.
This guy was there a lot in the evening, getting in people's faces and pushing the envelope of 'personal space'. He would shout, advance and wave his arms threateningly whenever someone told him to go away. Not surprised it came to this.
Does the station have video? Does Portillo's? Hope the good guy is okay.
I have been harassed at that BP gas station many times by the same guy. The BP gas station actually allows that guy to sweep up there and harass customers on a daily basis. I also heard he was arrested there 11 times, whats wrong with this picture? All I can say is the arrestee is lucky to be alive because the copper looks like a UFC fighter and always carries his gun.
All I wanted was a tank of gas!
Stay away from the BP located at 631 N. Lasalle I hear you get a free Razor slashing with every tank of gas!
No monday morning qb, but was the office armed???
Attention all off duty officers now is the time to never ever leave home without it....and I don't mean your BP gas card!
