Off-Duty Attacked, Injured

  • An off-duty police officer who intervened in a disturbance is hospitalized this morning after being knocked unconscious by an offender who then went through his pockets as he lay on the corner of Clark and Addison early this morning.

    Two people are in custody, but the primary offender remains at large, police said. The entire incident was captured on a Chicago Police Department pod camera at 12:41AM.

    CWB Chicago has independently secured a recording of the attack that, incredibly, reveals that one of the people the cop tried to help repeatedly urged her boyfriend to leave the unconscious cop lying on the street:

    Based on our review of the recording, a disagreement develops on the street between a woman and a man who said that the woman’s boyfriend had “disrespected” him. The boyfriend arrives on the corner and the situation quickly escalates. Soon, a voice can be heard repeatedly shouting “STOP! Off-duty police!”

    About 15-seconds after the off-duty officer arrives, he is blindsided and knocked unconscious by a punch to the head. Video reviewed by CWB Chicago editors shows the intersection of Clark and Addison bustling with traffic at the time of the attack.
The transcript is something else:
  • The recording reviewed by CWB Chicago shows that the girlfriend repeatedly tried to get her boyfriend to leave the scene and abandon the off-duty cop as he lie on the street.
You can read it all at the link up top. That entire area is notoriously under-policed, which led the aldercreature to sell his vote to Rahm's budget in an effort to boost the numbers, and it still wasn't enough. Wrigleyville is rapidly becoming a dangerous place, with the wildings, group batteries, so-called "scalpers" who, instead of selling you tickets, drag you out of camera view and pretty much strip you of everything you're carrying.

The report from the Crime in Wrigleyville/Boystown blog says two subjects are in custody, but not the primary battery offender. Hopefully, the officer heals in short order.

Don't intervene in "Street Theater" while off-duty
unless you're prepared and equipped to intervene
real hard...

Yes, you're The Police but if you're off-duty, you're
the next best thing to naked

Realize and recognize how vulnerable you really are
riding to someone else's rescue.

Really hope The Officer wasn't hurt badly.

A long time ago, our HRI summed-up off-duty nonsense:
"Unless it directly affects YOU or there are deadly
weapons involved, Be a professional witness."

Two guys chewing on each other over some grab-assery
and a Copper gets flattened?

THAT really bothers us.

And imagine how The Copper is going to feel when he
reads the transcript and discovers that the girlfriend
of the guy he was trying to help, wanted to leave him
to the many vultures flying around in that area at that time of night.

Meanwhile...
The Catered-To Constituents are saying y'all "Rich Wite Folks
up on da Norf Side" can afford to give up the rest of your
paid-for Police presence and gift it to them in order to keep
them safe fron each other.

Enjoy the Shit-Show.
Meanwhile, a weasel chases his own asshole
in ever tightening circles in search of an answer.

>Spinnn!<
"GRR! Snap! Bite!"

We want to live long enough to see what
happens when he finally catches it...

This city is broken beyond hope, care or salvage
and we rejoice because it wasn't The Policeman
who did the breaking as the ones spinning the
narration would like for everyone to believe.

Hi SCC - We posted the video (or audio, I suppose) early this morning at

https://youtu.be/n-tWP0UZi_k

Earbuds or headphones are recommended.

The incident took place under a 24/7 webcam that is aimed at the Wrigley Field marquee. While the attack took place out of the camera's view, audio was captured. We have been reliably informed that Area North detectives secured the webcam's recording on Tuesday.

His biggest problem was the fact that he got involved in something off duty. Something "ghetto" based on the whole "disrespected" aspect of it.

Hell, unless it's family or friends, why get involved at all? I'll bet he never does that again. Copper should be thankful he's alive and chalk it up as a lesson learned.

no disrespect to the off duty officer BUT getting involved in this BULLSHIT when alone and off duty is dangerous and foolish.

Hopefully he or she ( probably a he) will get better soon and learn a lesson from this.

It could have been MUCH worse,and there still may be administrative reprecussions to follow


A long time ago before I got on the job some, a copper told me that a shoe salesman doesnt sell shoes when he is off duty and he doesnt do police work when HE is off duty.

Why would anyone try to intervene in some drunk domestic bs alone and off-duty is beyond me. If you're that concerned, drop a line to 911 and let the district handle it. That whole situation could have resolved itself. If two men want to fight over some woman, well congrats to the winner, hope she was worth it. Loser goes home with a busted lip/black eye and little humbler. Unless it's life or death emergency or safety/life of child is at risk, mind your biz and keep walkin'.

Not a cop but a black lifelong resident of Chicago. I read this blog and also CWB for the real news. It is appalling the lack of coverage of these incidents. For a off duty cop to get beat like this and the offenders knew he was a cop? What the fuck indeed. But if they would have gotten shot there would be lawsuits by the blood sucking lawyers. The other day there was another stupid march on the south side, on 67th. Someone approached me and we almost got into it. I told him and others that could hear me. We need the mothers to turn in the bangers and the weapons today. Fuck the bullshit about racist cops. 18,19 and 20 year old black men dressing up as women robbing people? This does not happen in Deerfield, Northbrook, Glenview, any of the burbs. Tired of the damn excuses about what we do not have. I grew up in the damn projects. Most of these kids have cell phones which cost more than TV's, expensive shoes, get a few good meals a day. Internet access is free at most libraries, if you get decent grades and stay out of trouble you get a free ride to most colleges because you are black, yeah I said it. This is just fucking tiresome to read this bullshit day in and day out. And the saddest part these are the crimes that are reported. Stay safe officers.

Hate to sound like a jerk, but why and I mean why in God s name would you ever intervene in nonsense that is rife with stupidity by drunk morons who are part of the thinning of the herd mentality. Addison and Clark says it all. Clearly these people don't want the police to help them with jack shit. So why put yourself in that risk if you're not protecting a family member or someone that matters ?

I was recently going to a Cubs game when I saw the same type of drunken bravado by low IQ moronic fans about to erupt on the sidewalk over the same "that guy disrespected my girl" nonsense. As the guys were displaying their liquid courage and squared off ready to fight I walked by and was quietly laughing my ass off at the absurdity of it all. I'd be an idiot to get involved off duty for that bullsh*t.

If you're low on brain cells and feel the need to intervene, just dial 911

Not to bash the ODPO, but it probably wasn't wise to intervene in what was essentially a domestic on a crowded venue full of heavy drinkers. Hope he is on the road to recovery soon. If was armed at the time, he's double-lucky he wasn't disarmed and killed for his troubles. THINK before you decide to intervene while off duty. The life you save may well be your own.

Stop with the false numbers people! As of yesterday there are 10,718 active patrol members of the FOP. Of course all of those people are not all in beat cars and include detectives, et's marine, canine, mounted.

If we are ever going to get things done we have to stop providing a false narrative just like people are saying the city is doing these graduates and promotions.

FOP should come out and say we have 10,718 active members but those include the above mentioned po's assigned as detective, et's, marine, etc. Then we also have X amount of those 10,718 people assigned/detail to inside spots at the academy, headquarters, areas, districts which leaves us with X amount of patrolman actually sitting in a beat car answer calls.

Just so you are ready though the flip side of this will be the City will send all those active duty po's to the street and replace them with civilians like they are at the desk, FOI, ERPS. The city is not going to hire 3,000 additional PO's. They will continue to "civilianize" clerical spots inside and shift those po's outside. When they do this you can not bitch that I lost my inside desk spot or inside clerical spot.

6/22/2016 04:46:00 PM

And those numbers also include everyone on medical and IOD, and everyone at callback or wherever else other than actually patrolling. Being an "active patrol member" doesn't mean shit if you're not patrolling. Cute rant though.

This is like the 3rd time in the past month, an off-duty PO has been attacked by wrigley field. Hey cubs fans, Stop playing the police after the game. It is NOT going to end well. 1. NO ONE respects us, so they are not going to listen to you. 2. You will then have to put hands on, so you are either going to win that fight, then have to go in do TRRs and worry about being on the news if you smack the guy one too many times, or you are going to get knocked the fuck out. 3. I know you might be a filmore ranger or some other hero, that thinks serious criminals only rome the south and westside, but the freindly confines are not so friendly anymore... 019 is going to shit. New hang-out for gang bangers and wildings. The off duty is lucky he did not get shot.

The majority of police resources are sent to "the community" where a lot of people don't pay property taxes and the ones that do pay substantially less than the nicer, "quieter" areas.

Used to go down to that area of an evening to check out the many wonderful used bookstores -- almost all gone now, targeted and driven out of business by the big operators, some of whom later failed themselves. Nice hobby shop gone too, other places I used to like.

That #22 bus at midnight is slow boat to China/rolling detox center.

I learned to avoid nights when there was a game getting out at Wrigley -- drunken white smartass punks, do that "tap you on the left shoulder then duck to the right" thing, other threatening people demanding money and saying "I could be robbing you." I just laughed at that one. Beggars in costumes, Carhartt overalls and hard hats, waving a dirty car part at you, "construction worker had me a breakdown and needin' to get back to Texas right quick." Followed him into the Walgreens and saw him dragging lots of green out of the front of that outfit; the clerk told me he had $400 small changed into larger bills while buying cartons of cigs, a couple fifths of good booze, and some lottery tickets.

...and now the Ricketts' want even more "attractive nuisances," places to hang, and booze out there on the street. "Restrictions on hours and so forth would cut into our profits." Wouldn't that be a shame.

"Streetwise!" Police not even safe, let alone people weavin around. The jackrollers are out. Not my kind of area anymore, not for decades now.

Or you can get "free/heavily discounted broadband at home" if you have a chilun who participates in the school lunch program." That is the qualifier. Have seen people in a beautiful bungalow, freshly tuckpointed, new roof, new driveway, new garage, satellite dishes all over the house, 3 expensive new cars parked along with a $15,000 Harley dresser, getting this "benefit." This was over in Berwyn.

...and now there is a big push on, "since Chicago Public Schools provides free breakfast and lunch, a lot of chiluns will go through the very hot days with not enough to eat while school is out for the summer, boo hoo." Feeding programs starting up...

Uh...we didn't have a lot of money, but I always got breakfast and dinner at home, and Mom made a lunch to take to school. Once in a great while I'd get some fries and a soda at the hot dog shack across the street, but that was about it. Can't anybody do the simplest things for themselves anymore?

And somehow you just KNOW that the

changed drastically had the off-duty shot
and killed the asshole who blindsided him.

"Officer, why did you shoot and kill that
unarmed man when he hit you? Isn't
that excessive force? Turn in your shit.
You are stripped pending separation..."

"Not so fast! I justifiably shot because I
reasonably feared that after properly
identifying myself and attempting to
de-escalate the situation, that the
offender, now knowing that I'm a
Police Officer, would possibly
attempt to disarm me and
execute me with my own
weapon."

>Murmuring<

"The fine civic spirit and sense of
duty you displayed in involving yourself
in this incident is commendable, Officer.
Unfortunately for you it went badly and
although you invoke the standard of the
"Reasonable Man" and you may have
somehow been justified in shooting,
you not only are going to be on your
own, but we are still going to strip
you pending separation.
Sucks to be you..."

People have no idea what horrible
risks Policemen have to take...

They only see the (ever diminishing)
trappings of office and the drastically
curtailed exercise of lawful authority.

The battle-cry is:
"Po-leece gots too much powah

A shame, even if you're right, you're wrong.
To get involved (without sufficient backup) in the wildings bs that Democrats created is not wise.
Honorable and ethical, but not wise.
Being the police on or off duty gets no respect, has no authority and certainly not appreciated as it once was as recent as twenty years ago.
If it were a group of thugs sandbagging an senior or child...maybe.
Being a good witness is always the best approach.
You'll learn the hard way getting involved with ghetto bs, even outside the ghetto, on or off duty.
Imagine the pain and suffering if Mr. Off Duty won the battle.

A speedy recovery to the officer. Only lesson to be learned here: when your tour ends, and you take off that badge, you're no longer obligated to lift a finger for "the citizens." If this was America as she used to be, then I'd say hard charge and fire piss all day and all night long, every single watch. A new day has dawned, boys and girls. I'm not a copper, but I appreciate the work that the men and women of Blue do. Please take it from a citizen: smart citizens are aware of what's going on, and they're the ones that will survive. Officers, your main priority should be survival as well. Drive around, wave and smile, and the hardest part of your tour ought be on deciding which greasy spoon to hit up for lunch. Anyone who's been on the streets long enough can tell the difference between a citizen with a genuine need (and generally, an accompanying appreciation of police officers) and ghetto mutts acting the fool.
As your effeminate, sawed-off Ballerina might say: "Stay Fetal."

"Witnesses who fled the area after hearing shots ring out said the boy ran to the area of East Fourth Street and Euclid Avenue before he dashed into the Arcade, WKYC reported. The shooting happened Wednesday afternoon near Public Square after an estimated two million fans had turned out for a parade and rally. There were no other reports of injuries and the event was peaceful up until the shooting..."

FLASH --

Freddie Gray verdict: Baltimore officer who drove van not guilty on all charges

12:24 PM ET, Thu June 23, 2016

"(CNN)Baltimore police officer Caesar Goodson, who drove the van in which Freddie Gray was fatally injured, was found not guilty Thursday on all charges, including the most serious count of second-degree depraved-heart murder.

"Wearing a dark suit and blue shirt, Goodson stood motionless as the verdict was read. The officer's daughter wept as the judge acquitted him, count by count. After the verdict, Goodson embraced members of his family and legal team.

"The verdict is another setback for State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby, who dramatically announced the charges against the six officer last year from the broad steps of the downtown War Memorial. Mosby, who has failed to secure a conviction following three trials, shook and bowed her head as the judge delivered the verdict..."

If you want to play hero off-duty in situations involving animals who can't control themselves, it's easier and probably a little more effective to just say "police." Adding in the "off-duty" part just tells the offender that you don't have backup, that you don't have a radio, that you might not be armed, and that he doesn't have to listen to a thing you say. The shitheads think you punch out and become an ordinary citizen. That's why they always say "take that badge and that gun off" or "come to my hood on your day off" when they want to act like they'd fight you. They think you're not really the police when you're off-duty. You should start thinking the same way. See a crime? Call 911 and wait around to tell the responding officers what you saw, especially if it's ghetto drunken street fight nonsense. Do not get involved unless someone is about to die, and you can stop it from happening without endangering yourself too much. This shit happens every second of every day in the ghetto, and the involved parties live for it. You tried to get involved in their everyday activities as an outsider who doesn't really understand them. You're either brand new to this job or soft as puppy shit. Even if you were on duty when you saw this, you should just yell for them to stop from the comfort of your car while you wait for more cars to arrive. Get the numbers in your favor before attempting to intervene. No one wins when a cop goes in to break up a fight over nonsense and ends up getting injured. You probably did the right thing, but only in an ideal world. That's not where we live. Do the smart thing next time. Good luck on a full recovery, and I'm sorry for judging your actions so harshly. Tough love I guess.

Not a cop but a black lifelong resident of Chicago. I read this blog and also CWB for the real news. It is appalling the lack of coverage of these incidents. For a off duty cop to get beat like this and the offenders knew he was a cop? What the fuck indeed. But if they would have gotten shot there would be lawsuits by the blood sucking lawyers. The other day there was another stupid march on the south side, on 67th. Someone approached me and we almost got into it. I told him and others that could hear me. We need the mothers to turn in the bangers and the weapons today. Fuck the bullshit about racist cops. 18,19 and 20 year old black men dressing up as women robbing people? This does not happen in Deerfield, Northbrook, Glenview, any of the burbs. Tired of the damn excuses about what we do not have. I grew up in the damn projects. Most of these kids have cell phones which cost more than TV's, expensive shoes, get a few good meals a day. Internet access is free at most libraries, if you get decent grades and stay out of trouble you get a free ride to most colleges because you are black, yeah I said it. This is just fucking tiresome to read this bullshit day in and day out. And the saddest part these are the crimes that are reported. Stay safe officers.


++++++++


Thanks for getting it. When you say it gets tiresome that is the absolute truth. At some point all the normal people have to just say "fuck it" and not do shit. The press won't report the good intentions of this off-duty that ended poorly. Surprised no mention if he had a gun on him and was disarmed. Highlights why we say any fight for us can turn deadly...we can be shot with our own gun in a split second. Have a good day, who knows where society is going to end up in the short term but it's not looking good

Officer, sue this bastard for millions citing civil right violations. If this piece of shit will attack you after identifying your office, what would this animal do to the average citizen who is extremely vulnerable absent a concealed carry? If these animals are willing to challenge the police on a regular basis, the average citizen should realize government has failed them by allowing criminals to roam freely and commit violence without consequences or personal expenses/liability.

You might say this guy has nothing to sue for. Remember this, he could be in a chase for some other criminal endeavor he chooses and gets involved in a foot chase which results in him getting struck by a CTA bus. This is a double whammy. Millions from the CTA and millions more from the city with a lawyer getting a third.
Don't be shy, file that lawsuit. Fair is fair.

Man charged in shooting of 3-year-old

"A 23-year-old Bronzeville man was charged in a shooting that left a 3-year-old boy paralyzed on Sunday.

"Desean Wynn, 23, of the 4400 block of South Dearborn Street, was charged with attempted first-degree murder, felony aggravated discharge of a weapon and felony use of a firearm by a felon or parolee."

"He's accused of shooting a 3-year-old in the 6100 block of South Kimbark Avenue about 6:15 p.m. Sunday. Police said he was "positively identified as the person who fired a handgun striking the victim in the back causing the victim to be paralyzed."

"The boy was in a car seat when shots were fired at the car, police said. People in the vehicle managed to get the boy to Comer Children's Hospital in critical condition..."

OT -- Obama administration working overtime at making this a "Sanctuary Country"

Immigration boss who BLOCKED Homeland Security agents from seizing San Bernardino 'gun supplier' one day after the attack is to receive an award, but the agency won't say why

* Irene Martin prevented armed officers from detaining Enrique Marquez
* He was set to be interviewed alongside Russian wife Mariya Chernykh
* They were being questioned on their links to the attack that left 14 dead
* Homeland Security officials went to arrest Marquez for supplying the guns
* When they arrived, they were forced to wait in the lobby as Martin stalled
* She then told them they couldn't detain anyone in their building
* Martin has since been moved positions, but won't be punished and may receive an award for her work
* The award is usually given to employees who saved lives, like from a burning car...
