dumb dumb brought a knife to a gun fight and lost once again--- when will these bipolar psychos learn not to mess with the police--- glad to hear that the officers are all right-----
According to the Cook County medical examiner's office the man was in his 30s and he was pronounced dead at 10:06 p.m. at Illinois Masonic Hospital.
No remedial firearms training needed.
that would have been an EXCELLENT carbine opportunity.

Uhhh...nevermind.
Great Job Offices. Enjoy your 3 days. Some day I will shake your hands.
Sounds like suicide-by-cop or just some nutjob.
Good Job AKA "The Cat"
Great Job everyone! Stay safe out there
Talked to a guy on scene who said dead dudes gf heard him shout Ali Akbar. As he charged the police with the butcher knife. No joke.
Great job by the officers. One of whom worked for me in the past.
Officers, remember the 21 foot rule.
Studies have shown that a guy with a knife who is 21 feet away from you will get to you before you are able to get your gun out of your holster.
that's lincoln square, not ravenswood
glad folks are ok
A job well done by everyone involved!

even if true it might not mean much. I would bet a lot of just plain nut jobs are going to be doing the "allah akbar" thing.
t and c you can take them out of 025, but u cant take 025 out of those two gunslingers, good job guys.
Great Job Officers. I’m glad you are ok.
As I watch the news and read print on the event, I must admit there is a need to express my observation. If officers had been trained and authorized to carry TAZERS, This could have and most likely would have not resulted in a deadly force incident. The bad guy was taking an action which caused proper reaction by the officers, however, if we had alternate tools such as a tazer, we might not need to expose ourselves to the stress of such an outcome, and another family would not be in line for the natural course of suing the city in an attempt to argue wrongful death. Shame on you city of shitcago for not giving us those tools!!!
someone armned with a cutting instrument is very dangerous
omeone armed with a cutting instrument who knows what he's doign is deadly
remember Someone has a weapon in their hand shoot shoot shoot
Stay safe

In a perfect world the about statement could be true. But when someone brings a large knife towards a police officer, are you willing to bet your life on the taser? I the taser going to stop the bad guy? I wont bet my life on that.
Our plan for the night is to go home as we came to work. ALIVE

A guy attacking you with a knife is not the time you want to depend on a Taser.
Its a pretty good compliance tool, but its nowhere near as sure a stopper as a couple slugs COM. And if a guy is coming at you with a knife and you try to Taser him and it fails, you won't have time to stop him with a more effective weapon before getting yourself sliced and diced.
Screw tasers, what did they teach you back in the academy? Shoot to kill! This pinhead got what he deserved! A knife is a deadly weapon, the officers gun worked fine thank you. Great job guys.

You are a sad and sorry excuse for a police officer! Hope you are never near me if the shit hits the fan! Please stay at 35th street where you belong.
