He's just trying to buck up his force's confidence a bit with a little positive reenforcement.

If they are as successful against CCers as they are against gang violence I'm not too worried.

 

[silentvoice71]

Empty threat..... Hes scared CCrs will do better dispatching gang violence better than them.

Heckler's Veto.

Wow, once again the headline really fails to encompass the story.

What he said was:

but when somebody turns with a firearm in their hand the officer does not have an obligation to wait to get shot to return fire

This is pretty common sense. Turn around while pointing a firearm and you're likely to get shot. Its how undercover/plain clothes cops get shot, for that matter. Its why we now train that the uniformed officer is in charge until you are verified. Turning around a pointing a gun at someone so you can say "I'm a cop" or "I'm a licensed handgun license holder" or whatever equals bad idea.

More looking for something to be offended by.

I hope this isn't a dupe. And I pray it is bogus, I haven't looked for other sources.

Wow...just wow.

15 years ago I loved to spend time in Chicago. I'd jump at the chance to spend a weekend with friends up there. Now, no way. My wife wants to make a trip with my nephew to Sheds and I don't care to go.

Chicago just needs to be swallowed up by lake Michigan.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

It is not bogus. He really is that stupid.

 

[monitor51]

Sad. I did a google search and yeah....it is for real. Maybe the Welcome to Chicago signs should read, "Abandon hope all who enter here"

 

[Bunnykid68]

It is not bogus, the dirtbag really said that.

 

[printcraft]

Top Cop?

As to what Chicago cops think about this moron:

Second City Cop: McMoron - Let's Shoot Gun Owners!

Pretty much what I took from it also.

 

[DragonGunner]

Sounds like if their first victim lives its going to be a good lawsuit.....on the other hand, if someone shoots a cop he can say "they threaten to shoot me first, it was self defense!!!!"

 

[MisterChester]

Chicago is where freedom goes to die.

 

[SteveM4A1]

Somebody needs to be fired.

 

[femurphy77]

Shoot first, ask questions later? De rigueur for some. . . . .

McCarthy is a tool. He has the backing of Rahm, and the idiot can do whatever he sees fit. Chicago needs to be taken back, block by block. Crime is rampant there. McCarthy has no plan to speak of to address the threat. The latest outrage that I saw were the "safe passages" between gang areas so that kids could go to school unmolested by shootings, etc. There were people lining up to be "safety officers", who were unarmed and wearing those nice yellow vests that enhance a sight picture.

Appeasement, not the strong willed dedication to eradicate the cause of these problems is McCarthy's mantra. I have said it before, and will say it again with regard to Chicago:

Wall it off now, let it die.
