We Have A 10-1, An Officer Needs Help!


Chicago, IL--Imagine you’re a young cop responding to a hot call of a robbery in progress. You know you’ll soon be in danger as you flip on the lights and siren. At any moment you may be in some desperate criminal’s gun sights. You’re driving fast because you may be able to stop a serious crime and perhaps even save a life.

Suddenly, fate takes over as you’re broadsided by an out-of-control vehicle. You’re pinned in the seat of your overturned police Chevrolet Tahoe and helpless as the predatory ghetto rats descend on you, groping at you while grabbing at your gun and wallet.

Modern police holsters are designed to make it difficult for all but the owner to remove your gun. Your spine is wildly manipulated by the anxious robber who seizes you sidearm.

That’s precisely what happened to 32 year-old Chicago police officer, Densey Cole, II. Cole survived the accident, robbery but is now a quadriplegic. He is unlikely ever to do the job he loved and held for 6 years again. His only hope is for modern medicine and rehabilitation to give him at least some of the life he once had.

There are some benefits for officers with catastrophic injuries but it’s never enough. Cole needs all the love and support of his fellow officers and those that can plainly see the need and are able to help.

Local WFLD TV FOX News reporter, Jeff Goldblatt gives all the details of Cole’s experience and just how you can help this fine officer.

Please take the time to read Goldbatt’s story right here.

And the Chicago Police Continue to go without a contract. And they continue to work 2,000 officers short on the deadly streets of Chicago, while mayor Daley saves up the cities funds for the Olympics NOBODY wants!!

My son is an amazing man and God knows it by healing him a little here and there. Anyone who knew him and I from the time he was a child knows that we have always been "peanut butter & jelly." For those who have heard & spread the horrific rumors are no better than the scumbag who took his weapon. God knows the truth, it will surface someday and I pray that they will be able to ask our Lord to forgive them. No parents or sibling should have to endure the doings of people who are putting themselves before Densey's (and his 2 daughters) best interest. Densey has ALWAYS chose his own course, but unfortunately on the 27th of May 2009 he was put in a position where he no longer could do that, but we remained prayerful that that would change. He again would as he always said, "run the show." Please continue to hold Densey up in prayer as we always will. No greater love or devotion exists on earth than that which comes from a mother. Bless all of you who truly understand and have remained loyal.

Mr Cole,

My heart goes out to your precious son, and your entire family. I will say a prayer for Densey tonight.

I hope your son continues to improve each and every day, and that one day he will be able to resume that which he loves. He is a true hero.

May God Bless each and every one of you, and may he continue to give all of you strength.

Mrs. Cole, I don't know what rumors or gossip you are referring too as I haven't heard any. But in any event, God bless your son, you and the entire Cole family. For what it's worth, your son is a modern day hero. I sincerly hope he recovers completely and that he returns to work one day if he so chooses. Once again, God bless.

A 40 Caliber Nightmare Is Caught On Tape.

So you’re confident that that .40 caliber S&W service round will keep you safe. Maybe you’ll have second thoughts after you see this video. One hot summer night in 1994 Tempe and Mesa Arizona police were involved in a pursuit with this suspect who ran into a stranger’s apartment to hide after being shot TWICE in the chest. He was shirtless and you can see the blood pumping out of those two wounds. What’s really frightening is just how agile this fellow is as he struts to the ambulance. If he was not handcuffed and had a knife or a gun, ask yourself if he could still hurt you, your partner or a hostage? If your jurisdiction demands that officers carry either the 9MM or the .40 Caliber S&W it’s time to show this video to your bosses and lobby to have the .45 ACP round authorized. The switch may well reduce the screaming by self-appointed community activists about how many rounds police had to use on a suspect. The really talented and courageous video journalist, Karen Ke...

The origin of the feature film, COME FRIDAY…

CLick On the pictures to see full size versions. Long ago there was a young lady I had the hots for in a big way (Yes, I know that hots is not a word). She was pretty, incredibly bright, and had some real elegance about her. She had a love for children and basic kindness that you don’t often see in someone her age. I met her parents and could understand she came from a much more stable home than mine. I was raised by a single, welfare mom and suddenly found myself way out-classed. For whatever reasons things did not workout they way I had hoped. Sadly for me, we went on our separate ways. From time to time I’d run into this lady in various places where our job had taken us. Whenever this happened my heart would skip a beat or two. I left my hometown Chicago, and moved to Arizona where I founded my detective agency. As a private eye and soon a TV news producer too, my career took me to the highest profile criminal events in Arizona and throughout the country. There’s no question that ...

America Will See Its Worst Race Riot Yet This Summer

Star Prosecution Witness, Rachel Jeantel Sanford, FL —Yes, the George Zimmerman trial here has thousands of African-Americans getting ready for some serious bloodletting. I don’t want to make idle and dire predictions but this nation has never been so divided and racially sensitive.  Our African-American President took sides on this case at the very beginning.  That ratified a George Zimmerman guilty verdict in the minds of millions. There’s just one little problem, and that is the murder case should have never been filed.  It was filed purely for political reasons despite the fact that it was a simple justifiable homicide.  Zimmerman was on the block watch lookout program and followed a suspicious Trayvon Martin after he used an improper entrance to a gated community.  Zimmerman was acting as the eyes and ears of the Sanford Police Department. Martin did not like being followed and knew that he could easily beat up the out-of-shape...
