Nothing prohibits an officer from firing at a vehicle when he is in fear of his life and the vehicle is coming at him, AND HE IS NOT ABLE TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY. I have investigated 400 plus police related shootings, at least, all over the City. If 38 and gone was honest he would own up to the fact that we got into trouble in the late 90's and early 2000's for shooting at vehicles, because "they were coming at me." Most cases they were hot cars and the offender was trying to escape not run down the police, or some traffic offense or other misdeameanor. When the offender wouldn't stop we (the police) fired, when we could have moved. I'm glad to see a reversal of JFED's proposed trial balloon on this policy change. I agree with Crimefile, it would do nothing but put some poor copper in the poor house or in jail. Fuck him if he's not a life threatening danger to you, your partner or another PO, let the SOB go, why would you want to shoot him, risking the chance of hitting some innocent person and lose your house, job and possibly go to jail.

Been there, done that."<br /><br />I don't think any mention was made of shooting at a vehicle that was trying to run an officer down. If I'm not mistaken, it said "fleeing vehicle". Big difference. I also happen to agree with Paul that having this sort of policy kind of gives the green light to newer officers who don't have the experience to know better than to shoot at a fleeing vehicle. And of course, the first poor bastard that hits someone unintentionally is going to pay big time, maybe with his freedom too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19929098.post-80479830234126799582009-07-29T21:16:00.032-07:002009-07-29T21:16:00.032-07:00Patrol is the most elite position in a department....Patrol is the most elite position in a department.Everything else is support.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19929098.post-13294491204305355832009-07-29T21:14:42.313-07:002009-07-29T21:14:42.313-07:00This is a classic Chicago move.They are going to g...This is a classic Chicago move.They are going to get some snot office to bust some caps at a fleeing car for some PP offense.The office will hit something he shouldnt and the brown envelopes will be distributed after the civil trial.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19929098.post-50181166477895563772009-07-29T16:57:45.926-07:002009-07-29T16:57:45.926-07:00I only made the front page of the Chicago Tribune ...I only made the front page of the Chicago Tribune once.

I learned from some of the best homicide dicks around. They no longer hold inquests in counties with a population over 100,000 people. .<br /><br />I have testified numerous times before Cook County Grand Juries, mostly on drug cases. <br /><br />I earned two Department Commendations and a bunch of Honorable Mentions. <br /><br />I became a licensed private detective doing criminal defense on major felonies, death penalty matters. I also have handled police and merit board defense investigations on behalf of cops in Chicago, Phoenix, Tucson and Los Angeles accused of misconduct and crimes. <br /><br />I specialize in self-defense and use of force cases. <br /><br />I support open internal investigation records as I condemn maintaining records were officers were falsely accused and cleared. Chicago police discipline has always been grossly unfair and open records will show that. Clout will no longer trump equal protection under law. <br /><br />I hate the concept of a police department telling officers to fire at fleeing vehicles when I remain convinced that the first time an innocent third party is killed, they will hang the officer. <br /><br />I want cops better armed and to always get the benefit of every doubt.Paul Huebl Crimefile Newshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07841397705805774698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19929098.post-71989149303550041632009-07-29T16:25:20.329-07:002009-07-29T16:25:20.329-07:00P.S.

Who are you to debate whether a cop should be allowed to shoot at someone trying to run him or his partner down? Been there, done that.
