Another Shooting

  • A Chicago police officer shot a 16-year-old boy on the South Side on Friday night after he pointed a gun toward police, authorities said.

    Citing preliminary information, Englewood District tactical officers were on patrol when they saw a group of people standing near 71st Street and Marshfield Avenue in the South Side's West Englewood neighborhood, authorities said.

    One person from the group, a 16-year-old boy, noticed the officers and ran away from the group while holding his side, authorities said.

    Officers on foot and by squad car went after the teen as he fled down the block.

    Authorities said the teen then pulled a gun out of his waistband and pointed it toward at least one of the officers. One officer then opened fire on the teen, striking him in the right flank as many as three or four times, authorities said.
Gee, a 16-year old - probably not eligible for a Concealed Carry permit, but we'll await Garry's inevitable announcement.

And yesterday a 14-year-old. Both armed with guns they couldn't legally own, carrying them where they couldn't legally carry them. It's almost like something dysfunctional on the part of a certain segment of society....but that couldn't possibly be, because we'd be racist for observing that.

"A Chicago police officer shot a 16-year-old boy on the South Side on Friday night after he pointed a gun toward police..."

Translation -- "A 16-year old boy pointed a gun at police and was duly shot."

Same thing yesterday, same thing today, same thing tomorrow.

Get out the graduation photos. Bring the "pastor" up to the mikes to repeat "He didn't have no gun" on behalf of the suddenly-present fambly no one has seen in years, drawn by the possibility of hitting the Powerball with the city, and retiring in total morbid-obese ease for at least six months before the settlement is all p__ed away.

Print new protest T-shirts. Get new D-cells for the bullhorns, and bring out the revs and "community activists" no one ever heard of before they heaved their a__s up off their front steps.

Do I need a claw hammer to get the following question considered?

Does anyone in this bunch actually think they are being taken seriously?

If CPD would just follow tried and true NYPD methods, crime in general and shootings in particular would be way down. CPD need NYPD's big city solutions. Nothing else will work. NYPD = taking care of crime. NYC gun laws also work. NYC does not allow pistols in private hands.

OT - My condolences to the coppers (and Area Central) of the 002nd District. You're inheriting the most despicable person I've ever worked for in my entire life...TJL. Be prepared for moral to plummet, activity to crash, PAR forms to multiply, stock prices in Tylenol and Tums to soar. He knows everything (and ain't afraid to tell you), including how to police the streets from the relative safety of his desk. He will berate supervisors, treat the troops like children, GPS the hell out of you, squeeze the life out of kittens. In general, you will become as miserable as we were in 011 last year. And if he manages to get his mini me, Mari Nudo there, beware. She's a house mouse PO who thinks she is the boss.

Once again, my condolences. If you can make a move now, do it!

I thought a story or report has a beginning, a middle and an end.
Why then does the media start a story in the 'middle,' i.e. .."Police shot a 16 y.o. boy."
Shouldn't the story report 'begin' with, "A 16 y.o. boy pulled and pointed a gun at Police."
Then followed by the middle (above) then ending with the outcome.

Presently... Yellow Journalism 101

There's a video on Liveleak featuring one of Chicago's honor students showing off his guns (with a young kid in the background -- perhaps his offspring?). It's a heartwarming scene. Yet another endorsement for birth control.

Sgt JC who just arrived in 007 is one of the most unsafe Sgt's on the street in the city today. He will be stripped or indicted by the end of the year. He too dumb to realize this is not the department or the climate of 10 yrs ago. All he cares about is adding another pouch to his Mollle vest and checking the overtime box on his yellow slips running around working 14hr days. His foot chases and useless car chases are going to get another copper killed. He has no regard for officer safety or tactics. He's a perfect fit for a the two year wonders on tact in 007 as they will blindly follow this idiot and drool to work for him. That's because they know nothing.

"...the teen then pulled a gun out of his waistband and pointed it toward at least one of the officers."

Wasn't the city going to print up pamphlets or something that would prevent this from happening every night?

"How To Deal With The Police." "How The Police Think." "How The Police Operate."

All a freaking mystery.

You really need this material when you grow up among flashing blue lights, ducking under yellow and red crime scene tape to get to your house.

Spell it out with blocks? OK.

Don't point guns at the police or they will shoot you. Don't try to grab guns away from the police or they will shoot you.

A lot of people don't realize the extent of the parallel universe that exists right alongside Normal. Take one step sideways, and you are in a rap video, shooting an AK from a custom Beats By Dr. Dre-equipped helicopter filled with champagne-bottle-waving, bikini-clad babes that is taking off in a cloud of swirling $100 bills.

Amen!
We and a few others of like mind preached this sermon for YEARS and people STILL
act like they disbelieve what they're seeing.

The irony is that we are "the problem" because we're considered
to be too poisoned by the shit we see from behind the windshield of that raggedy-assed
blue & white.

Heh...
The city printing up pamphlets would be a tacit admission
that The Police aren't the problem.

"How NOT to Get Your Ass SHOT By The Police!"

Spelling it out in blocks?
>Pfft!<

Just put up those new HUMONGOUS, blinding even in broad daylight
electronic billboards at every cluster on the map of m/fers who have had
the shit shot out of their asses... Put up four of the damned things.
One for each cardinal point on the compass.

Set them at their S L O W E S T cycle for the m/fers
whose lips move when they read...

>Blinking and slow-crawling across the screen like a poisoned rat<

"Hey cuz! Dafuck dat sign say?"

"H O W... N O T... T O... G E T... Y O U R...
A S S... S H O T... Dat's ray-cist like a muhfukkah man!"

As for that parallel universe that exists right alongside "Normal?"
One has no need to EVER take a side-step... Seriously.

It pulls up right next to you.

By the fucking car-load...
Passing you on the right.
In reverse... Knocking parked cars and sign posts.
Hanging out of every fucking window and
making skeleton faces and pointing guns
at YOU just because you're trying to be on
YOUR way while trying real hard to mind
your OWN muthafuckin' business.

Arm yourselves against THEM.

And the Progressive Assholes with a hand in the current
state of affairs are jaw-jacking about "retraining" The Police
assigned to the urban badlands because they react so "badly"
to urban badlanders who brandish and bang off firearms...

"Black Lives Matter - Even When They Point/Discharge Guns
At The Police"

These fuckers are so all in against The Police and Policing.
Just you wait...

>Headlong flight from The Police, even when clearly in possession
of a firearm, shall no longer be an accepted and justified cause for
Police use of Deadly Force even if fleeing possessor of said firearm
did unlawfully discharge it at The Police or any other person.<

"Y'all been shootin' arra y'ung mens in dey back
fo no good reason!"

Policemen are under no obligation to engage in a
foot pursuit with an armed goblin...

Common sense dictates an immediate and fatal
(to the goblin) cessation.

When m/fers with guns turn corners/find hidey-holes,
shit WILL trend toward the problematic for The Police.

Our experiences proves this to be so...

This is the rugged mindset the Progressive Liberals
and their Catered-To-Constituent foot soldiers want to
see forever purged from Policing and driven to the corners of
society.

"You guys are too mean, too angry, too dangerous and too
scary. We can't get you to agree to a non-aggression pact
or promise not to settle scores if the political landscape
ever changes so..."

Meanwhile.
The hits keep coming.

I read that the Black Lives Matter group has initiated something called Campaign Zero which calls for 10 police reforms, none address the BLACK ON BLACK daily killing. “Folks are almost not even able to imagine an America where people are not being killed by police," said Samuel Sinyangwe, one of the members of the team that put together the proposal.

I honestly do not know why anyone would want to be a cop nowadays. It seems to me that we have passed the tipping point in this country, and soon we will see widespread anarchy (if that hasn't happened already in some areas, but not being reported by our gutless media).

Oh they do try. By trying to take guns away from the law abiding community and the police. The problem is not the guns. The problem is the social responsibility desert of the African-American GANG community that want to go to violence for every problem real or imagined. As long as they are able to exist on free* rent, free* food, free* utilities, free* medical care just as long as they breed and vote.

(Free* in this case means paid for by the law abiding tax paying community.)

Story on the news tonight: Free* fresh produce for people in the Englewood "food desert" at a pop-up farmers market. I wonder how much security they had there.
