Off Topic Chicago Police Scanner

I came across this web scanner site tonight. I clicked on the 'Most Popular' wondering if I'd hear 'Shots Fired'. Less than 30 seconds of listening.... Sure enough call in from a out of breathe Policeman on foot in pursuit of a male jumping fences trying to get away. As I type Police are still looking. Now just heard report of someone (citizen) down in a street.
Lot of action on a pre holiday Friday night.

Here if your interested: Chicago Police

Car stolen at gun point, along with more shots fired from a different area. Now a Over dose.
Busy !
God Be With These Police,

My nephew before he became a Federal Police Agent was on the beat with a female partner when they pulled a car over for a minor infringement, at the license check he sorta got a twitchy nose so asked the driver to wait whilst he checked the details sure enough on the computer there was a bench warrant for the driver. Coming back to the car he informed the driver to get out of the car at which point the chap fired up the car instinctively and probably wrongly my nephew reached in to try and get the keys and found himself being dragged along side the car as the driver wound the window up on his arm.
Falling free he hit the deck the car went down the street a bit then came back at my nephew to run over him as he was still on the ground my nephew who by then had ligament damage to his Rt arm screamed at the female officer to draw her weapon and fire at the driver as he is trying to run him over, she did nothing but froze like a deer in the headlights never even un-holstered her weapon.

The car ran over his Rt arm & collar bone doing a bit of damage at 3am in the morning my sister had the Commissioner of police Carl Callahan on her door step saying her son had been run down and was in hospital.
After he got out and the investigation was complete my nephew asked never to be sent out with that female officer again in fact he stated never send me out with a female officer again which they didn't.
Its not a reflection of the females in our force just what one did on that night.

My nephew is now a Federal Police Detective....................

Cinders, they'll be up to speed now then mate as they bought a load of kit from me :lol:

Two prime examples of why it is not the guns fault.
Ex 1 strict gun control US style = bad guys with guns any way.
Ex 2 strict gun control AU style = bad guys don't need a gun to be bad guys.

Tonight should be fun. All the 4th BBQs going on across the Country. :runaway:

rubber rooms will be filling up tonight

I heard many 'Shots Fired' calls last night the the CPD followed up on to find it was indeed fireworks.
Would make good cover, having someone out the door burning off fireworks as the bad guy inside shoots his victim (s).
Gangs, Dope, Robbery and just plain Payback...... Very dangerous.
Small children being shot in their own homes.

And the world keeps on a spinning

Makes me think of this.
Billy Joel - We Didnt Start the Fire (Official Video) - YouTube

Chicago,
Over the 4th of July weekend 101 hit by gun fire. Youngest victim 13 oldest 60.
Tuesday afternoon 41 people were shot in just 12 hours.
14 were Fatal.
This doesn't calculate in the hundreds of shots fired that hit no one.

The rate of violence (in Chicago) relative to the size of the population is, however, lower than other US cities such as St Louis or Baltimore.

P.S. 14% fatality rate. Imagine if they held their gun upright

Was that falling from the sky, in addition to the more direct shooters activities??

Very little information from LIb media.
I was listening last night on the link I posted earlier.
Heard a dispatch for a bus that had hit it's silent alarm.
18 minutes later they were still trying to get a unit to it, it was right at shift change.
Wife read from a friend on facebook today, (friend living in Chicago) that 2 hoods were shooting at each other on that bus, taking cover behind people. Yep......... Sanctuary city and gun control !!

I am forcing myself to self censored my comments to avoid prohibited content.
Perhaps some enterprising individual could market this model in Chicago.
Seems a perfect place to test the market.

Exact same model I was thinking of.
Will work when aimed sideways !

i think ever person in Chicago should have a gun. it wouldn't take long to fix the problem. wasn't that last man they called pres from there. like i said give everyone a gun and one bullet .why would he have moved away?

I read a comment earlier that said build walls around the bad areas. Drop in extra ammo and let them go at it.
Makes me think of a movie over here that had Kurt Russell in it. He played SNAKE PLISSKEN ,

History states we played cowboys an Indians now we need to play cowboys an druggies :madsmile::madsmile:

I get approached by some junky at least once a day around here, this is no exaggeration. Pumping gas, walking out from buying smokes, even walking to your car after a meal at a restaurant with your family. I've seen one dumb enough to approach guys half lit sitting at the bar, that fella didn't fare to well I'll tell you, kinda hard to find the door with both eyes swelled shut. They all have the same story. It's always they need a couple of bucks for gas because they're broke and need to get to the hospital to pick up their KID!! Most of the time I say NOPE!! or if I'm in a bad mood I'll tell them to Get Lost, male or female. Using your little ones "if you even have kids in the first place" to fool someone into handing over their hard earned cash so you can score your heroin is disgusting.
I grew up on these here streets and there ain't nothing getting past me buddy but it must work on some people because it's always the same story.....

They all have mobiles too, ever noticed??

Yep. Always talking on their mobiles.

I like the officer’s modified isosceles. That’s the way it’s done. :clap: Very nice! :thup::thup:

Oops, sorry, wrong number.

Gil,
Read yesterday about a group of children playing in a front yard with sparklers, when a 11 year old boy was hit in the top of the head by a round apparently shot in the air. He was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics. 3 more rounds had hit the roof of a attached carport on the same property.
No suspect (s) in custody.

Rifle bullets fired VERTICALLY upwards retain most of the spin imparted at the muzzle, even at apogee and as they fall straight back down, striking the ground base first. The descent terminal velocity is whatever can be achieved by the action of gravity minus air resistance.

Stumpy, relatively slow-moving, pistol bullets do not rise as far and thus will have less opportunity to gain serious velocity on the way down.

ANY bullet fired at a fairly flat angle will hit pretty hard, but will not be coming down from directly above.

Bullets, especially rifle bullets, display "spin-drift" when fired at targets as in a normal firing range. Bullets launched DEAD VERTICALLY will also drift during their flight time, even in still air. P. O. Ackley did quite a bit of work on this, as did Hatcher and several other inquiring minds. Even in totally "still" air, bullets were found to "drift" and fall several feet away from the barrel that fired them. Those that fell on the timber decking of the firing platform left a slight dent in the surface of the deck. A young child with a developing skull may be in some danger from such falling bullets.

It would be interesting to see clear images of projectiles actually recovered from these buildings.

I believe very little about the incident reports (Official Explanations) coming out of Chicago.
11 year old gang members are often used to commit these street level crimes, as they are young enough to walk free or only slapped on the hand.
But old enough to rob or kill you.
Chicago politics are very much today like the days Al Capone ruled the city.
Investigators, Forensics... etc are overwhelmed. Also in the current political climate, they may be seeing big monetary cutbacks from the Feds because of the Sanctuary city situation.

For all I know the reported 11 year old shot in the head had just emptied his mag and caught incoming fire from a drive by shooter (s).
Shots in the carport roof? May have been shot from under it during a new years celebration.

Not trying to be or sound callous, but when it comes to big city crime one may never know the truth.
Much like the 40 some year old Aussie woman in Minnesota who called 911 and reportedly hand slapped the patrol car as she stood next to the drivers side door, only to be shot by the policeman riding in the front passenger seat. He shot across the officer driving, shooting her.
Australian woman shot by Minnesota police reported possible sexual assault, 911 transcript shows | Fox News

Chicago is always number one on the scanner list.

BTW, off duty LEO, I never saw a gun pulled by the guy on the phone. Doesn't mean much I know. Just sayin'. Wow, he dropped like soggy turd from a tall horse! :yikes:

Bill, I don't see the bad guy gun, but believe it was in his right hand along with the phone.
When the off duty LEO shoots, I see no type of muzzle flash.
But pretty rough grainey (sp?) video.
