Officer Hit With Bat

  • Someone hit a Chicago police officer in the head with a baseball bat after the officer responded to a battery-in-progress call in the Englewood neighborhood, according to authorities.

    The officer is in serious condition at John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County.

    He was hit about 12:40 a.m. in the 5700 block of South Winchester Avenue. It's not clear if the officer was hit on purpose or was accidentally while trying to break up the fight.

    It's not clear if the officer was working alone, and other circumstances leading up to the attack weren't immediately clear.

    No high-ranking police department supervisors spoke to the media at the scene or the hospital and the department's News Affairs office released only a brief statement about the incident early Saturday morning.
On purpose or accidentally? We're going to go out on a limb and say if someone is wandering around Englewood with a bat, at one in the morning, they're not looking for Rahm's Midnight Softball Leagues. They're looking to beat someone and it doesn't matter who gets in the way. We charge people who shoot, maim and kill victims, regardless of who the intended target was.

Prayers for the Officer.

It's time for protests at city hall by the police unions and wives Now. In the early 70's COP marched , police wives marched and after another few Police Officers were gunned down , all cars were 2 man on the 1st and 3rd watch .
Get every able bodied Police Officer that works inside on the Street now . Hire civilians to assist commanders , process crime scenes etc.

Never get in the way of a bat, knife or other deadly object to save a non-police officer or non-family member. Just stand back, issue verbal direction and shoot if necessary or arrest whoever is left standing when appropriate.

From the info we received outside of the hospital was that he was 10-99 and attempted to break up a fight before being hit in the head. Now what tool of a watch commander sends an officer 10-99 on the 1st watch in Englewood. And where is the FOP on this. Hope you get better officer. In our prayers.

SENATE REJECTS QUINN PICK FOR HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION

SPRINGFIELD - A year after Governor Pat Quinn asked that the Senate re-appoint Nation of Islam follower Munir Muhammad to Illinois' Human Rights Commission, the Illinois Senate rejected the Governor's pick Thursday with 30 votes.

Munir Muhammed, of South Holland, had served on the Human Rights Commission for nearly ten years, first appointed by Rod Blagojevich in 2003. The reappointment salary for serving on the commission was listed at $49,960. Muhammed is the co-founder of CORE, the Coalition for the Remembrance of the Honorable Elijah Muhammed. His bio on the CORE website describes Muhammed's converstion to the Muslim faith and his current involvement:

Reply: Alright guy not sure if you saw but he was 99. Getting on scene we had easily 50-60 shit heads running in every direction. Females fighting across the street and some asshole right in front of our down officer talking shit who got locked up. And of course nobody knows anything. The problem again is he was 99 which is fucking retarded. If someone could have been shot he would've been shot.

You have that right. Protesting got all 2 man cars, but then the po's fucked it up by volunteering to work one man cars because some didn't want to take domestic, in progress ,etc calls but only wanted to do paper jobs. They offered to work one man cars just to do paper jobs and not be the police.
As far as more police, there has to be 500 hiding inside besides the original 279 Rahm targeted and has done nothing to replace them with civilians 500 is probably a low estimate considering there has to be 10 in each district front office, and most districts have an additional 2 for their tact officers which makes up close to 50 just for the tact offices and we arent even at the areas and special units say like narcotics where there are plenty of "office help" making $90,000

I am saddened to hear that this officer was working 99 (that means by himself to non police readers). He was working 99 in one of the busiest and crime ridden districts in this city. I remember a few years ago I too would work 99 on midnights on first watch. God bless you and I hope you recover fully from this ordeal.

Apparently this poor officer was working by himself. If anyone is listed as working by themselves on 3rd watch or 1st watch then go tell your captain or xo or whatever that you won't work 99. If you are working 99, then watch out for yourself. Wait for backup to arrive then take police action. I'll be praying for the officer and his family. Let's all hope his injuries are not very serious.

This is totally unacceptable to have any officer out on his own in this city. I hold the mayor and supt. responsible for this officer's injuries. I agree that it is time for the police to march on city hall. But you must stand together. Numbers speak volumes. Any march should be well planned in advance and maybe even ask that the tax paying citizens support and join you. Our current city leaders should hang their heads in shame for allowing this to happen.

Not trying to Monday morning quarterback here, but we should all take a minute and think about the type of situation this PO was in. Again, I wasn't there and I'm not trying to imply the PO did anything wrong.

One of the first things my FTO, a Vietnam veteran, told me was to not get injured for these idiots. We pulled up on a large crowd fighting and just sat and watched. I was new and at the time thought we were doing something wrong by just sitting in the car. I asked my FTO, "Shouldn't we get out and do something?" His reply was, "Like what? I don't know what they're fighting about, but I guarantee it's over bullshit. We'll call for a wagon, more cars will show up, and whoever still sticks around will go to jail. You get out of this car now and that whole crowd will turn on you. Don't get yourself hurt over their nonsense." Sure enough by the time the wagon pulled up, which didn't take long, the crowd had already begun to disperse.

Unless you have some kind of MMA blackbelt, you will not likely win in a two on one situation much less trying to take control of a crowd. The star on your chest and the gun on your hip do not make you Superman. Don't get yourself hurt over their stupid-ass ghetto baby mama drama. Wait until there is enough manpower for whatever job you're at, then attack the problem.
Stay safe, everyone.

OT..

Illinois pension panel zeroes in on their final pension solution:

Tie COLA's to the rate of inflation, and sell it to the employees by letting them shave 1% off their monthly pension contributions.


http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/08/23/usa-illinois-pensions-idUSL2N0GO1XX20130823


What a way to con the stupid, give them back 1% today, and then watch as your pension check becomes more and more worthless as time goes by.


Inflation rates are pegged to go down, meaning on the average of 1.4 to 1.6% a year for a few years.

Yes, I know, all the things that you have no choice in paying for, such as food or utilities, are going up far faster than a pissant1.5%

Bottom line, the G uses the "cost of living" index to register inflation, and nothing that means your survival is really included in those numbers.

So watch as your food bill, your gas bill and your electric bill dig bigger holes into your pension checks.

We'll all be broke if we live 10 years into retirement.

And you can bet your ass the shitheel pols will exempt themselves from this one in a heartbeat. They already get the golden baby by getting multiple pensions anyways, who gives a fuck if they don't get a fair COLA, they're getting more in retirement than they were on the job.

Several things come to mind here: First and foremost is my support and prayers for the officer and his family. Second, the supervisor who allowed this young cop to work in that jungle by himself should be demoted, suspended (30 days pending separation for incompetence and negligence). The days of a Cop being just a number MUST be a thing of the past. In the military members are to comply with Orders given by superiors, but only if those Orders are LAWFUL. Sending a Cop out on third or first watch is just operationally and tactically ludicrous. Time to re-write contracts, including some of the ridiculous Rules and Regulations of the CPD, and draw red lines in the sand for Cops (Are you reading this FOP Lodge 7?). The families and wives of cops should unite and bring it to CPD HQ and City Hall for the world to see. Its time to stand your ground as Warriors in blue. Fuck the Compost and pink panther mentality of the East Coast, and to the FEDS: STOP looking to charge Cops for civil right violations in this God forsaken jungle that is the South and West sides of Chicago and get your asses out of your suits to come put your hands and life where your mouths aren't!

Until the people in these neighborhoods take responsibility, control their own offspring and decide to support the police in getting rid of the thugs, it is foolish to send police officers to lead the cause...with no followers.

Remember, your safety and coming home to your family come first. Your life is worth a lot more then being permanently disabled saving one of these ghetto rats. Let them kill each other and when its done, process the scene. Stay safe.

Several things come to mind here: First and foremost is my support and prayers for the officer and his family. Second, the supervisor who allowed this young cop to work in that jungle by himself should be demoted, suspended (30 days pending separation for incompetence and negligence). The days of a Cop being just a number MUST be a thing of the past. In the military members are to comply with Orders given by superiors, but only if those Orders are LAWFUL

How come responding Officers didn't shoot the OFFENDER between the eyeballs?

Retraining is in order!

A bat is a deadly weapon!

Were you there motherfucker?? It's fucking easy to second guess when you were probably in fucking bed sleeping..

----------------------------------

ANON #2 - Don't be too hard on ANON #1, he just sounds frustrated as to seeing the cop bushwhacked and is just venting to blow the "bat man" to Kingdom Come. (which I concur 100%)

I agree with another writer that whoever sent this copper out alone, should be demoted.

This has got nothing to do with FOP, contract rules, "policy", or anything else - it's F'ing Common SENSE!

You don't send anyone out 99 in Englewood. Reading all this makes my blood boil. CPD is run by idiots.

Don't get down and be quick to criticize some of the supposed "armchair generals" that question what happened - they are probably as frustrated as you are when they see a cop bushwhacked and are just trying to help.

ALWAYS remember - many average citizens have you in mind and when they read this, they are shocked at the lack of leadership CPD has on making poor judgment calls.

Shoot the offender between the eyeballs IS the right policy and the "retraining" should be aimed at leadership that has failed to lead.

Not a LEO, JAFO

How about Rahm and McCarthy get dropped on opposite ends of Englewood after midnight and whoever finds the first snitch box gets picked up by a car? One would shit his pants before the second slipper hit the pavement, and the other would be tottering around trying to figure out what city he was in.

This is a quote I took from FB from someone who was actually there: "This was an awful thing that happened, and I know everyone is working hard to find the animals responsible. They WILL be brought to justice. You have gotten misinformation though, and I'm sure it came from the usual place/site. He was NOT ASSIGNED 99. His partner had a last minute emergency, and he asked to work alone. The watch commander told him to hang on and was going to find him someone else to work with and he said just to call him back in when they found someone. The officer went straight out on his own because he's a great worker and a hard charger. This was horrible, but you can't blame it on the union or the department this time. Sometimes bad things just happen and you can't blame anyone but the thugs who committed the crime". End Quote

SENATE REJECTS QUINN PICK FOR HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION

SPRINGFIELD - A year after Governor Pat Quinn asked that the Senate re-appoint Nation of Islam follower Munir Muhammad to Illinois' Human Rights Commission, the Illinois Senate rejected the Governor's pick Thursday with 30 votes.

Munir Muhammed, of South Holland, had served on the Human Rights Commission for nearly ten years, first appointed by Rod Blagojevich in 2003. The reappointment salary for serving on the commission was listed at $49,960. Muhammed is the co-founder of CORE, the Coalition for the Remembrance of the Honorable Elijah Muhammed. His bio on the CORE website describes Muhammed's converstion to the Muslim faith and his current involvement:

You know... May just be a conspiracy theory but what is the reason behind the leaders of Chiraq NOT doing anything about this? And any and all attacks on police? One could start to think the leaders might be behind it? Anywhere else and this shit would be handled immediately. There would be public outcry, protests, strikes, etc. I smell a huge scandal.

After the arrests of the anti-government gang that plotted to kill at least one officer, its not a surprise that the gangbangers and dope boys attacked too. They want everyone scared, running in circles and wondering what is going to happen next. Every thug in town also know all they have to do is keep moving and the cops will not get them. It is time for a change.

At 8/24/13 911am You are right about marching. We should be protesting at every event the mayor appears at. The teachers protested as well as everyone else. Your wrong about replacing police with civilians. Think about all the jobs we lost over the years (dispatchers, airport, office et al). Less police jobs mean less money paid into your pension.

What are you talking about? No one suggested less police, just the same number of police doing police work, not clerks working short hours and getting 80 to 90 thousand a year.

So, the officer is running the watch. His watch commander isn't. (That is, if the post on that eminently reliable source of factual information, Facebook, is accurate.)

There's a reason we have parents; they guide us, teach us and look out for us when we don't know any better, or want to do it 'our' way.

And, there's a reason there's a chain of command (well, lots of reasons), and one of them is to ensure our well-being when we can't see the forest for the trees.

I just retired, but every time one of my people said 'no assist, squad - I'll let you know', I got on the air and told the dispatcher to send a second car, or I went myself.

I was on scene that night. The officer was working 99. He called in the disturbance and asked for more cars. Upon seeing flashing lights from back up vehicles down the street he gets out of his car. The offender hits the officer from behind with a baseball bat to the back of his head. The shitheads then try to take his wallet and gun but back up drives up and they take off. This whole thing happened so fast and it could've happened to any of us.

For all of the Monday morning quarterbacks out there, go fuck yourself. For those of you who asked, "Why didn't he shoot shithead?" You've obviously never worked in Englewood. The savages are out there at least 30 deep. You can't keep your eyes on all of them all of the time. For those of you who ask, "Where was his back up?" Englewood Rangers are known for backing each other up better than any other district in this city. Unless you were there you don't know shit.

You want to help then go look for the offender. There's an IA out there for him. Do some police work and figure out there rest.

i always thought there was a " gentleman's agreement that would be two man cars at night after the one cop was shot by a shotgun blast on the LSD way back in the 60's
i would think in neighborhoods like englewood you would have two together( still taking a risk down there)
hopefully he heals fast and this issue gets addressed

It is good to hear he is home resting with his family nearby. You and your husband and family are in my prayers and thoughts. I'm sure there are so many CPD and citizens who might not have posted, but who feel very much in their hearts for him and for you, and who also wish him a fast recovery. God bless you all and keep you safe and well!
