Bad Luck....Or Good Luck
Don't play the lottery Officer - you've used up a lot of luck:
- A suspect fleeing police tried to throw his gun onto a roof, but it hit a wall instead and went off, hitting an officer in the shoulder, prosecutors said Thursday.
The officer's partner kept chasing Rafael Martir-Ubiles, 25, Monday afternoon and cornered him in a gangway in the 2300 block of South Trumbull Avenue, where the officer used a Taser twice to subdue him, prosecutors said.
Martir-Ubiles appeared in court Thursday, charged with aggravated battery to a police officer, aggravated assault of a police officer, resisting an officer and unlawful possession of firearm by a gang member, police said.
Judge Peggy Chiampas ordered him held without bail.
Thank you for the no-bail Judge. It's greatly appreciated.
And now we can see where a taser would be appropriate if the partner saw the gun being tossed.
But how much freaky bad luck is that? Dude half-ass pitches a gun and you still get shot? Thank the Fates, Lady Luck, Dame Fortune, whoever, that a cheap pistol didn't end up costing us an Officer's limb or life. Speedy recovery Officer.

And to think people say "Drop the gun" never thinking that a dropped firearm on a hard surface might actually discharge. It happened in this instance. And even if the firearm is manufactured with a drop safety feature, there is a possibility that when dropped the firearm may still discharge. Be careful out there.
Heard Chianpas is good to the police.
Speedy and full recovery officer. Glad to hear your injuries will heal.
When the fuck did gangbanging thugs become "affiliates"? Dumb ass reporters!
OT - Back from San Diego tonight.
First time there. Really nice place and nice weather of course.
On the negative side - they have a LOT of homeless people. Really detracts from views of the city. A "Big Money" city, but too many homeless walking around.
Would NOT want to go to any of the bars where these people were walking around and "camping" outside of.
Can an Offender carry 2 guns,throws one gun and then pulls out another,I dont trust a taser with my life.
The Criminal was a lucky dude too....he could easily have been shot by CPD and it would've been justified. Thnx Judge Peggy Chiampas...you did the right thing...no bail for the scumbag.
I hope some who commented in the earlier post learned not to jump to conclusions and rely on early media coverage during police incidents. Now you know why the offender was tased.
Hoping both officers make a full recovery.
What if he had a second gun?
That Judge has always been a friend to the police. She was a great State's Attorney, as well. Thanks Judge!
Good police work. congratulations.
How about asking the question how the shit heads in the media know that the taser was used "twice"?
RS from 022 has been bragging that hes going straight back to the Gun Team. Unreal!!! No wonder he hasnt had a partner in 4 years
Judge Chiampas is a good judge. not a push over.
The stupid punk is lucky he did not kill the officer or some poor innocent bystander.
He should buy a Powerball Ticket. You know he will hit it!
And with his luck, Illinois won't pay up due to budget crisis.
Best judge in Cook County
Judge Peggy is a champ! She'd make the best elected State's Attorney in the history of Cook County.
Chiampas=last good judge left in cook county.
Judge Chiampas don't play. She's a straight shooter and one of the few Judges who makes the streets safer for law abiding citizens.

San Diego, home to a lot of military bases has a lot of retirees because of the great weather. On the flip side, if you are homeless what better place to do it rather then freeze your ass off in Chicago.
Just think: if the gun had gone off and hit the offender in the back of his own head - and killed him - everyone would accuse the cop of shooting him. NOBODY would believe "it just went off by itself when it hit the wall". This is why I don't do a lot of aggressive police work anymore. I don't trust our courts, the media, the department, or Rahm. But mostly it's because I don't trust Rahm. He'll throw you under the bus in a heartbeat. And people wonder why crime is getting so bad.
Go Chicago!
Whatever happened if theres one gun there might be another. That was Academy training in early 90's
Fate.
What's the make and model of the gun?
Peggy is great-- thanks Peggy if you read this.
old retired guy
No such thing as a bad boy in Cook County.
He'll be on the street in 18 months.
Peggy Chiampas was a competent ASA who bent over backwards to approve every felony arrest I had in the Nineties. Local girl from the far Northwest side. Always on the right side of things.

Second best. Nick Ford is the best
SCC please let us know when this judge comes up for re-election, I want to to put a banner on my garage!!!
Church leaders in the hispanic communities don't jump in front of a criminal just because he's hispanic to defend him as "he was just turning his life around".They recognize a criminal as just that..... a low life criminal that should be put away. Nobody protesting against the police when they are out doing their jobsin hispanic communities. Hey revruns....take note.

Those must be the people who have little money.
Think about it.
"And to think people say "Drop the gun" never thinking that a dropped firearm on a hard surface might actually discharge. It happened in this instance.

Let's get real here, I'll take my chances with a dropped gun then someone pulling the trigger.
perhaps the officer could sue the gunmaker? Something to think about.
ot;A man charged with shooting and killing his wife in Ohio is a former Chicago-area police officer who left a suburban department amid an investigation into alleged use of excessive force.
Hawkins worked as a police officer in Elk Grove Village from 1990 to 1999, the chief of the northwest suburban department confirmed.
WTF since when is elk grove, Chicago? did i miss something in geography, has there been an annexation of elk grove? anything to rile people up about us. the Fop should get on these papers when they do this. but then again i believe in unicorns.
Panda Lives Matter
But please always remember where there's one gun there may be two. Ten years ago the now Commander of 10 chased an offender on a Dan Ryan exit ramp after the offender thru a pistol to the ground FV pulled out his Taser at this point the offender pulled his second weapon. Luckily
Frank had backup and the Offender was shot. NEVER ASSUME
Peggy Chiampas and Annie O'Donnell are the two best judges in cook county hands down.
The copper who was shot did an amazing job on the radio. Calls out the pursuit, location, beat and that he was shot all while remaining calm. Take notes for some of you. Screaming and yelling on the radio and you don't know where you are or why you're running.

Beautiful city, but expensive. Plus, it's going to fall into the ocean soon.
"And now we can see where a taser would be appropriate if the partner saw the gun being tossed."
...and now we can see this Rafael Martir-Ubiles fulla holes if the partner, pelting along, heard a shot, came around corner, and buddy is yelling "I'M SHOT!"
1000 stories in the Naked City...
I have run into many a fine "lost soul" who had more than one "lead projectile device" on their personage. Luckily in this case taking a single weapon for granted turned out with just one officer being hurt.
As more of the lost souls realize they will be able to move about with multiple weapons without challenge due to the alphabet (ISR, ACLU, DOJ...) guides, a similar result may not in the cards.

Don't be jealous. It's part of the job. If it bothers you that much why not approach that person and let them know? If it doesn't matter to you why not just keep your mouth shut? If i was going to the gun team I'd be happy too. So much ba info and gossip among us it's all a big blur now. Cant we all just get along?

Bill O"Reilly had a liberal from San Franciso on The O'Reilly Factor this week and they discussed the surging homeless population and crime in San Francisco. I didn't see many homeless in either city, San Diego or San Francisco when I visited there years ago. The soft on crime liberal didn't see a correlation between the increase in crime and homeless population naturally. It was reported that San Francisco is short of police officers as well.
Speedy recovery to the Officer who was shot on duty. The idiot who threw the gun is very fortunate that he didn't kill the officer and that he wasn't shot. Glad that the idiot won't be getting out on bail. I'll remember the jurist if she's on a ballot in the future.
Full and healthy recovery to our brothers.
Nice work.
Thank you Judge Chiampas. It is refreshing to have a judge not afraid to do the right thing. I am glad that both officers are doing fine....that is whats important.
So all the idiots that second guessed the officer for just tasing the guy, what do you have to say now?
Was the Wall turning its life around? Just asking?
(OT) so the tribune puts up this video of 16 year old who attempted to kill police officers and it says "graphic content warning" cannot see where is graphic content! looks like a dead animal laying there,and if you attempt to shoot and kill anyone your a predator not human you just like a rabid animal because simply normal humans never act like that! This thug was a stone cold gang banging thug, and watching momma act out is hilarious, if she practiced "parenting" this kid could of been something:

Obama calls for law enforcement to use electronic smart guns with fingerprint recognition but furious NRA says his 'obsession knows no boundaries'
* Obama has announced new steps to help limit gun violence in the U.S. by creating requirements for law enforcement to buy and use 'smart guns'
* A 16-page report say Department of Justice and Homeland Security will work with federal, state and local police to form a 'smart gun' criteria
* 'Smart guns' use technologies such as fingerprint recognition to prevent unauthorized users from firing the weapon

He retires "UNDER INVESTIGATION" so no retirement star, No retirement ID and he is not eligible for an IROC..The department has done it to others recently so they sure better do it to him. We are watching and our folks at 35th St will let us know.

I ended up in the ER at Northwestern Memorial last summer with a bad heart problem. A Dr. Chiampas helped treat me. Asked him about the name and he told me Peggy was his sister. He told me anything I needed, let him know. It was one of those things where you knew he meant it. Peggy, and apparently, her family, are as solid as the Rock of Gibraltar. Hope she goes higher. Friend to people like us.

Not going to look into what's causing the increase in the homeless population, either. That'd get up into too many corner offices.

You answered your own question. Your first sentence: "A man charged with shooting and killing his wife in Ohio is a former Chicago-AREA police officer who left a SUBURBAN department". Then you later ask "since when is elk grove, Chicago?"
There is nothing they printed that even remotely made it seem like he was from CPD. Would you have preferred if they said a town near Schaumburg or Hoffman Estates? It's you this time.

We are so bad with the arm chair quarterbacking and knowing it all before the facts come out. It wouldn't be so bad if we stopped talking about how much the public does it and we do the same thing. Guys are still saying if he had another gun...and they forget the other side. He better have another gun or you're up the creek. They can say what they want. I don't want to be on any paper where another PO shoots a running felon that he saw toss a gun because he's thinking what if he has another gun. What if is not reasonable suspicion or pc.

Nice, was in ER at Christ same situation heart issues told them I was CPD asked for "courtesy" they laughed arrived at 1000 hours,was done at 1800 hours as the illegals and thugs were treated like royalty, I always held Christ in high regard and gave many "courtesy" but guess they favor the no insurance "I no speaka english" and the "gets me my stuff" thugs, looks like next time Northwestern! Thanks for your doctor helping and his sister a great judge!
Judge Peggy Chiampas ordered him held without bail.
Thank you for the no-bail Judge. It's greatly appreciated
Worked with Judge Chiampas when she was ASA. She's awesome.
Pro Police and no tolerance for bullshit.
Hopefully, she runs for S/A sometime in the near future.

Agreed cannot quarterback! Bottom line officer will be God willing be OK! like all the second guessing of Van dyke we are trained to shoot until threat is gone, now the question is not how many bullets but in that scenario and in that extreme stress situation that's an individual decision, if all blacks followed Chris Rock videos advice "obey the law" think about how much less grief we would have everywhere!
Whoever commented "never assume" that there is not a second gun is absolutely right.
I actually got a "hat trick" one night and got three guns off the same dude.
