There was a misunderstanding. He was late to choir practice. Things spiraled out of control.

That reporter is almost hyperventilating.

[mikemike]

You can look at him and see he is not right

[Fred-wyix]

I hope that the Officer is ok and that he returns to the streets to once again Patrol, TO SERVE AND PROTECT.

As for the suspect, sad that he didn't get the BULLET that could of had his name in it (COULD OF)

Now it's up to The Courts to SERVE JUSTICE for The Police Officer and others who were effected by this WORTHLESS PIECE OF 💩💩💩💩

Remembering when Chicago was a beautiful, respectable, wonderful place to grow up. Now its been destroyed by the scum of the earth. How sad.

Does anyone think we need more prisons?

May God bless every one of our Law Enforcement Officers that put their lives on the line to fight criminals and crime in this chaotic City of Chicago. I will never support a politician that does not support our police!

[lilliansrakovcic]

Theawall, good morning and God bless you. Only a good citizen would struggle agree with you, patriot . Good bless all man and women in blue, all first responders, our Military personal and our Veterans. I had four in service and four in law enforcement as of now. I am very proud of what my family achieved and they are truly blessed so am I. My dad told me fifty years ago, you’ll never have so little that you can’t give and help to somebody else. RIP dad.
