Chicago cops barred from chasing people on foot who run away

[Shadow01]

Well, I'm sure there are some there that did NOT vote for this. They were outnumbered.
Do they deserve it?

They should move . You are responsible for your own safety. Staying is a sign of indifference to your circumstances.

Don't we say that refugees should have stayed and fight.
Now it sounds like retreat.

when i was 13 yrs old, i got off the school bus to several police cars. 2 burglars had broken into the house and were still in it.

this was when ipd carried .357s. the cops told them to come out with their hands up. 1 complied. the other decided to make a run for it. the cop yelled "police! stop!" twice. then shot him in the leg. you couldn't see the entry wound but you sure saw the exit wound.

and he did stop.

ahhh...the good old days

not necessarily. i would love to move out of the hood. money is the deciding factor.

if we had strong p***ycutors & judges it would be a non issue.

and now the thugs don't limit their activities to the hood

I've been in several foot and vehicle pursuits fairly recently where the suspect is from Chicago and is surprised that we gave chase.

I wonder what constitutes "running away."

Running 100 feet? Is it two rapid steps away from the police? A leisurely stroll?

If a criminal takes a rapid step away, but is arrested anyway, can he argue in court that the police violated policy, so he should be let go (and awarded $1 million for that violation)?

Giving me flashbacks to the Rittenhouse trial and Grosskreutz trying to explain how he was running after Rittenhouse, but not chasing him.

Well refuges are fleeing their country for another country. Having brains to get out of a city I think is different. I have seen lots of NY police getting out of NY and going to FL. Can’t blame them.

That's a bit harsh. I was in the Chicago suburbs for quite a long time before I was finally able to maneuver into a position where it was feasible to leave Illinois. Those who continually vote for these criminal-loving citizen-hating politicians might deserve it, but those who constantly get steamrolled by the "tyranny of the majority" (e.g. Dem voters) do not. It is not as simple as "just move".

I used to work downtown. Based on the physical appearance of many of the Chicago cops I saw, it wouldn't be much of a chase. Additionally, this policy eliminates the number of cops going to the hospital as heart attack victims from the chase.

Yes it is. You have to be willing to make the life changes that packs your crap up in a box and you drive out of town. Could it cost you a well paying job? Maybe. Does it mean you go to a completely unknown community? Probably. Does it mean you put your family and your safety first? Absolutely. You don’t always get to make a move in life without taking a loss, most are just unwilling to do so.

Wife's sister is going to GTFO and go to Texas. She said it's just too much and getting worse every day.

 

[BugI02]

Eh. How many decades straight, uninterrupted, have Chicagoans voted for these people?

Chicago is a trash city full of garbage people and they deserve everything that happens to them.

Who's to say the people really vote for them in winning numbers. The DNC had to learn those fraudulent 2020 voting tricks from someone, why not the machine

 

[SkullDaddy.45]

Awwww...but it doesn't say anything about shooting the bastards.

Y'all I don't understand why the people put in the cemetery by criminals keep voting for criminals.

Guess the cemetery is just that good...

Well they are buried with fellow Democratic voters.

it would be more beneficial to EVERYONE if WE would do our part to fix the "justice" system.

we have been running from the problems in the hood for years. now we deal with whole neighborhoods full of criminal activity.

if you think it won't be in your hood soon just wait.

are you going to move everytime thugs move into you neighborhood? how do you justify taking the blame for the criminals? it's the same as the pols trying to infringe on your right to bear arms because the criminals kill people with guns

I don’t have this issue in Rural America. Thugs prefer the amenities afforded in urban cultural centers.

not your problem? at least right now.

you'll just wait til the thugs live next door to you?

do you feel the same about them infringing on our rights? not concerned until they knock on YOUR door?

ok then

i am not trying to pick an argument with you. i just want people to realize that what happens to one affects all in one way or another. turning your back on a problem because it doesn't affect you right now means that noone will be there to have your back when they move in next door to you

look at california. many people saw the wave of crime coming and move to the burbs. the crims followed. the folks in the rural areas didn't care because it didn't affect them.

then the pols in the urban areas started restricting gun rights for EVERYONE. now it's an issue for the folks in the rural areas. you have 3-4 metro areas controlling the rights of people who have never commited a crime, meanwhile the crims are running rampant

 

[Shadow01]

One, rural America doesn’t make our neighborhoods inviting for thugs. Secondly most here know how to behave. Those that don’t, learn.

every issue you show in your post was invited. We don’t invite out here. Our tolerance level and expectations are different and expressed.

every urban cultural center can be handled. Just wall them up and let it settle itself out. They will either learn to live with respect and peace, or not. Respectful, peace loving people are not required to fix the ills of the ”metro”. The metro can take care of their own ills, or not. We will watch from the sidelines While having a BBQ and beer.
