Cop Wounded - Will Be OK
A Chicago police officer was shot in the leg and a suspected robber was fatally wounded Monday night at a Family Dollar store in the West Englewood neighborhood, officials said.
Shots were fired by police at about 8:35 p.m. to stop an apparent robbery at the store in the 6300 block of S. Ashland, police officials said.
Witnesses said they heard at least a dozen gunshots.
"I saw the cashiers running out," recalled Kevin Pride, 51 of Englewood, who was outside a nearby store during the incident. "They were screaming. Then police ran in. And then you the shots."
Bad guy dead, cop will be OK. A fantastic job all around. Speedy recovery Officer. And a job well done by all responding units.

FANTASTIC job officers! You made us all proud today! Hope you have a speedy recovery.
Off topic- Congrats to the CPD football team for thr big won on Saturday. The defense was a beast, and even though the offense struggled, you found a way to get the job done!
I sleep well knowing there are officers out there willing to run towards the sound of gunfire over that previous sorry excuse for a Superintendent that ducked out from the sound two blocks away and hid in his Expedition.
I'm glad the Chicago Police officer is ok and God Bless the Chicago Police!
In other news, concrete proof the Chicago Tribune and Chicago Breaking News are anti-gun, running stories about kid getting shot in a hunting accident 125 miles north of Chicago, (North of Milwaukee!) and posting it on 'Chicago Breaking News.'

This is the standard type of police work demonstrated day in and day out. Cashiers were running out, and the police ran inside and exchanged gunfire with offenders. Chicago Police are fucking fearless to the end! God bless you Officers and wishing you a speedy recovery. Thanks for a job well done.
Great job guys. Wish the officer a speedy recovery.
Get well soon office!
Get well soon buddy-good ridens shitbird
Get well Officer. JOB well done!
That poor underprivileged man just trying to shoot someone and steal his money so he could buy more dope and malt liquor for his hunt for da hoes.
I hope his baby momma get paid.
He was taking care of his chillens. He had da LINK, he had da WIC. Dis juss don't make no sense.
I mean, dem police didn't have to kill him. He was jus workin.
Great job by The Good Guys!! Get well soon, Officer. Outstanding!!
If the bad guy had lived would anita's people have charge him with the unholy three; theft, simple battery, and UUW?
When will these idiots learn? News Flash idiots. The Police are not affraid of you!!!
Job well done, enjoy some summertime off brother!
Jody Pee Weis here, your supposed to RUN AWAY from gun fire not towards it, did you not learn anything from me.
Was just on fox news. Rham will probably be picking new superintendent to be white house drug czar Gil krillikowski. Was police comish in buffalo and chief of Seattle. Rham you're an idiot. Pick from the ranks or be prepared for us to be pissed again!
Glad our copper brother is going to be okay- keep your eyes open and your wits about you. Regular weapons training is a must.
MSF cop got a graze wound. Bad guy got one more free ride from the city...to the morgue.
Happy days are here again!
Speedy recovery my blue shirt brother! Job well done!

Why couldn't the police just have shot the gun out of the man's hand? There was some good in that man, he could have been rehabilitated, turned his life around. Now we are deprived of another potential rap star. Another 8th grade education wasted, 12 years of school down the drain.
Damn.
offender did not have chicago gun permit required by mayor daley
mayor daley wants to prevent law abiding citizens from owning handguns and tax the sh-- out of them if they own a gun
handgun for self defense.
Hundreds
Trial for shithead trying to beat his case.
Thousands
Swift justice to shithead trying to kill police.
Priceless
Great job officers. Get well soon!
Remind me not to ever shop anywhere near a Family Dollar. Is it just me, or does it seem most shit goes down in the vicinity of these stores?
Great job Officer now enjoy the summer off and "recover"! On another note how is it that rahmbo is appointing people to positions when he is not even mayor yet? After may 16th then he is it! Did you notice how he screwed the teachers? Allowing layoffs irregardless to seniority? What does he have in store for us?
Anyone here about the Chicago police officer being shot anfter breaking up a robbery and shooting the offender??? OHH im sorry Rahlm just appointed a ne head op CPS..
The dead suspect was identified this morning by the Cook County medical examiner's office as Jerome Williams, 27, of the of the 6400 block of South Justine Street. Court records show he was sentenced to 5 years in prison for aggravated discharge of a weapon in 2001 and to 14 years for conspiracy to commit murder in 2005.
Ok, I'm no math expert but 2005 + 14 = 2019. Even if he served half that is still 2012. Got to love that math program Crook county has going. This piece of shit should have still been in prison. At least now he will no longer be able to harm anyone. God bless the officers involved.
Good work Officer. Get well.
Great job everyone. Best wishes for a speedy recovery to our wounded brother. You make us all proud to wear the badge.
Off topic: reported on NewsRadio 780 this afternoon:
the list of potentials for Supt. is now down to only 5 names.
2--outsiders. One works for Obama in D.C.
The other 3:
1) Gene Williams
2) Al Wysinger
3) Deb Kirby
My money's on Kirby.
I'm sure the deceased was turning his life around. He was just shopping when his gun accidentally went off and then the evil police up and kilt him.
Some bottom feeding sheister will file for the family.
OT
The police union warned of lawlessness. The mayor said a busted budget left him no choice. On Monday, pink slips for 125 cops took effect in Paterson, N.J.
It’s not clear if the cuts affected response times for the short-handed force, but NBC New York took to the streets with a police scanner to shadow officers as they grappled with reduced manpower in the neighborhoods of New Jersey’s third-largest city.

Summertime off...Hey guy, it snowed yesterday?
Get well soon officer.
He was just about to turn his life around!
Good job Englewood rangers..This one would never rob again...
Good job CPD!

Fucking hilarious!!!!!!
OT: Interesting fact learned at today's FOP meeting, IAD investigator, Police Agent A.W. was found to be living in.... Park Ridge!
This cop has prepared many cases against other cops and brought many up to the Supt. for officers to be fired and was himself in violation of the City's residency rule!
This is a termination offense! This isn't a 5 day suspension, say you're sorry and move back in; this is supposed to be automatic termination. And of all people, an IAD investigator taking an active part in firing other cops!
Hey reporters, get on this, this is fact, Police Agent A.W., related to the former narcotics court judge with the same last name of Branch 57. (long time gone)
I hope the department doesn't now try to use his cases in the firing of police officers seeing as how he has violated the affidavit of residency he signed.
Don't believe it? Call IAD, ask for Al.
any thoughts about the chicago code last night??? seems like the politics of it are getting a little bit more accurate. Obviously the mayor is pretty much dead on for daley.. notice how he threw the supt right under the bus at the news conference. at first I thought the show was all b.s. but it seems to actually be getting interesting.
Family Dolla, make you wanta Holla!

Do you think rahm cares what we think? this is the same guy who went in the showers at the white house to talk down to naked men! On another note where is luberman?
Hey scc r u on the payroll for Chicago code the more I watch it the more I feel like I am reading the blog. Wow.
OT:
Mike Shields announced retired Capt. John Farrell hired by FOP to go out on police shootings as an FOP "agent" advocate for the officer(s).
He will probably be the most knowledgeable person at a scene. It is good somegodamnbody realizes the talent going to waste and grabbed that man to help us out.
I have to believe the scriptwriters for "Chicago Code" have been reading this blog, i.e. the opening scene in which a copper is venting to Mancow Muller about the Superintendent being a puppet of City Hall, hiring freezes, and well-liked commanders being launched.
John Heard had Shortshanks nailed. His performance at the news conference, featuring the usual bluster and platitudes, made him seem as though he was channeling Daley. He even managed to look shorter than Jennifer Beals, and according to Internet Movie DataBase Heard is a full inch taller.
I concede the show is no more plausible at times than, say, "Miami Vice," but it's refreshing to see a procedural filmed on location in Chicago as opposed to New York and L.A. CPD has been understandably protective of its image since the "Blues Brothers" fiasco and made a leap of faith by authorizing use of its uniforms, vehicles and insignia. I truly hope Fox give the series a chance, if for no other reason it presents Chicago and CPD in a generally positive light.
Fantastic job Officers! One less drain on society. Speedy recovery to the injured Officer.
OT...
Do not miss Pauls "Crime Guns and Videotapes" blog tonight!!
Alverez tries to ruin the life of another Chicago copper!!!!

you will be pissed off no matter who is named. what are you going to do, no activity? i'll bet you already bring in nothing.

4/19/2011 08:10:00 AM
Do you think he gives a shit if cops are pissed? Did Daley give a shit that cops were pissed?
First off, Good job officers!
Secondly, and Off Topic: Commanders Secretary came into our tact office asking if the Bulls win the Championship, which streets would go up? Told her to talk to the old timers.
So yes, they are preparing for it. Also getting mass arrest kits ready, all Tact guys must have turtle gear.
Why so whoever Rham promotes will appoint all of his buddies and experience and ability wont matter. Which again will be a mistake. This guy was a police chief/seatle and buffalo
Wow, I listened to the play back of the incident. And someone had an open key for almost 5+ minutes.
WATCH YOUR FUCKING KEYS! THIS WAS VERY SCARY LISTENING TO THIS!
His mama already crying to the media

Although Vanessa Williams acknowledges her son spent time in prison, she said he was trying to improve his life after getting paroled. He worked as a cook at the I-57 Rib House in Marquette Park, she said. He had two children -- a 7-year-old girl and 10-year-old boy from previous relationships -- but he lived in the basement of the apartment house with his pregnant wife, with whom he spent much of his free time.

The details are much more accurate now, but we're the only ones who know, or care about, that.
They are quoting lines directly from SCC: more dead on the streets of Chicago than in the war, the only reason the murder rate isn't higher is better medical care, no-confidence vote by the reps is only advisory, etc.
Seems we've lost the stupid storyline of the ex and the fiancee and they're focusing on crime and corruption. But, it may be too late; the show's likely to be canceled.
Let's see, convicted of Agg. Discharge of Firearm, then convicted of Conspiracy to Commit Murder, then his last act on earth is to shoot at and wound a Police Officer... but momma sez' " I know he's not a killer ".
Well not anymore.
May you heal swiftly Office.

Don't bet on another white as Supe, that would be 3 in a row, a political no-no in this city. Look for a black. My pick and a darkhorse(no pun intended) is Skahill. First female black..

I was talking to a friend who runs a neighborhood business. He was talking about how many dollar store robberies he's heard about in recent months. Lots of people with small storefront businesses (1 and 2 person operations) are scared, because many of them have been robbed, too. My friend has a gun, has used it against shitheads before, and is prepared to use it again if they come to rob his business.

That is a true statement he does not care if we are mad or not, the elected are above us (so they think), and do whatever please them and their rich friends in order to grow more wealthy!

It is a good choice and ends the two week run of the high profile detectves Gorman and DelRivero coming out to shootings. All they are good for is ecorting IPRA around the scene and buying pizzas. I hope Farrell knows the contrcat better than those two nimrods.
But, it may be too late; the show's likely to be canceled.
