Disabled Chicago Cops Are Unnecessarily Unprotected

Chicago, IL—I’m torn to not publishing this information because I don’t want to inform the local thugs. On the other hand this outrage needs to be fixed.

It is obvious that cops on and off duty are targeted these days for killing by emboldened street thugs that don't let Chicago's gun laws slow them down a bit. Today's count of murdered cops is shocking to say the least.

First let me say government has no business impairing any law abiding citizen’s right to keep and bear arms. The Heller and McDonald cases have reestablished that as the law of the land. It is the local governments that are breaking the law not people carrying firearms for simple self-defense reasons.

The Chicago Police Department strips officers who are placed on Duty Disability of their police powers and guns the same way they do officers suspected of criminal conduct pending investigation and discipline.

Injured officers are routinely given doctors orders to get exercising so they can properly mend. These officers are in a vulnerable state while injured in that they cannot run and defend themselves as they could if they were not injured. I know of no officers that don’t from time to time have unintended encounters with those people they have arrested in the past in places like shopping centers and gas stations. Imagine being out with your spouse and children and see some dangerous criminal that knows you’re a cop and that you know is wanted on a BFW warrant.

This situation is aggravated by the city’s residency requirement that dictates cops must live within the community they police. Disabled cops are set up for these confrontations with the criminals they have to deal with professionally.

Disabled cops should not try and make arrests but in the gravest extreme they have a right and a duty to protect themselves and families.

There is a bill before the Illinois legislature right now and on December 7th at Plumbers Hall, Lodge 7 of the FOP is considering whether to support this or not. Please somebody tell me why the FOP has not already pushed this effort on their own?

Apparently the FOP needs your cards, letters, e-mails and calls. Every cop and their families need to get to that December 7th meeting and be seen and heard before they find themselves on Duty Disability striped of their guns.

Is the real reason for the FOP’s quandary their desire to make the Lame Duck Mayor and the police haters on City Council happy?

Let me say that despite whether this law passes or not that every cop has the Constitutional right to keep and bear arms anyway. The right to be free from unlawful searches is also the law of the land. Any disabled cop who does not carry a gun, does so at their and their family’s peril.

Here is website for with information on this legislation.

Chicago Cops Slammed with Sudden Ban on the Sig/Sauer P320—And the Officers Will Pay thePrice

In a move that’s rocking the rank and file, the Chicago Police Department has abruptly banned the use of the once-trusted Sig/Sauer P320 pistol as an authorized duty weapon. The order came down swiftly, leaving thousands of officers scrambling. The official reason? Alarming reports that the weapon can fire without the trigger being pulled. For years now the gun-maker has brushed off horror stories about negligent discharges, usually blaming human error. After all, it’s easier to blame the gun than admit to a deadly mistake. Just think back to Alec Baldwin’s tragic shooting on a New Mexico movie set—he insisted he never pulled the trigger, yet a woman lost her life. But experts were quick to point out that the revolver in question simply doesn’t fire on its own. This, however, isn’t Hollywood. The Sig Sauer P320 has a documented pattern of discharges—many occurring while holstered. Lawsuits are piling up, and the manufacturer continues to deny fault, but the incidents are too numerou...

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...

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...
