“Shots Fired by Police”
Dear Fellow 016th District Residents,
On 27 July 2009, there was a police involved shooting incident in the 016th District in the area of Devon & Milwaukee. A brief summary of the incident is as follows.
At about 1030 hours, police were assigned to a 911 call of a “Domestic – Man with a Gun.” The first unit to arrive observed a man holding a gun and struggling with a woman on the street. The officer exited his vehicle and ordered the offender to drop the gun. The offender refused. As he attempted to enter his home, the offender raised his gun and pointed it at the officer. In self-defense, the officer fired a single shot. The offender was not hit and entered his home. The officer pursued him into the residence and subsequently made the arrest. The offender was transported to the hospital for minor injuries he sustained during the incident. No police officers were injured. The actions of the officer were confirmed on his vehicle’s in-car camera system.
We should all be proud of the officer’s heroic response and take comfort in knowing that the men and women working in this District are prepared to take the steps necessary to ensure the safety of our families.

I think that it is starting to hit too close to home. Perhaps, we should consider taking our Tact teams out of Indian country and bring them back home.
Unfortunately bringing the tact teams back where they belong is not going to happen. Daley and his spokesman, weis, have decided that they will put more Officers in harms way as the animals continue their decent into total destruction. I have worked in 2 of the worst districts (011 and 002) and after many years it became clear to me that black society was a failure. They close their eyes to the violence around them, will not call the Police until it;s too late and allow a drug trade to corrupt their children and destroy their communities. So let it be. I do feel for the folks trapped there that want to do the right thing but I always realized that they were few and far between.
ReplyDeleteI was reading in today's paper where "Dick" Daley is angry at communities that don't want to allow poker machines into their areas. He said that if they don't produce the revenue then they don;t deserve the service. Hmmmm isn't that exactly what has happened with the redeloyment of the CPD tact teams? Do those communities that are recieving the extra police service at the expense of other communities produce the same or more taxes than the areas being drained? I don't think so....not be a long way. yet the officers are sent there and the communities that pay the lion's share of the taxes get shorted. Daley is one of the worst phoneys out there. Maybe he needs to practice what he preaches...LOL fat chance!
I'm a taxpayer and I'm sick of not having police service in 016. I haven't needed them, thank God, but you can tell we don't have enough officers because I never see anyone just patrolling anymore - unmarked OR marked. Used to be that we'd see them driving through the neighborhood at least once a day. The punks and gangbangers know it, too -- graffiti all over the place, people out on the corners in the middle of the night/early morning "just hanging" and up to no good....
