By Evelyn Holmes
CHICAGO (WLS) — An attempted carjacking has left one man injured during a shooting Friday afternoon involving an off-duty Chicago police officer in the city’s Lawndale on the West Side, according to police.The shooting happened in the 1300-block of South Kedvale Avenue in the city’s Lawndale neighborhood.
The off-duty officer shot the man who he claims was trying to steal his car.
“The police just opened fire on him. And my brother got to running, and who is gonna stand there while the police are shooting at you,” said the suspect’s sister, Iesha Brown. “Now I’m just trying to figure out, like, how they are trying to clean that thing up, trying to make it seem like a carjacking. This man ain’t ever carjacked nobody in his life.
The man was shot in the arm and taken to Mt. Sinai hospital in fair condition, according to a CFD spokesperson.

With a testimonial like that, Delta Whiskies and Whiskettes, can there be any doubt of the man’s innocence?

I/he wudnt duin nuffin, to nobody.
Which in English translates to “he was doing something to someone” (thanks to the double negative).
I guess they just clean it up by stating facts:
1. I was in the car.
2. The man opened my door.
3. The man stated pointed a lethal weapon at me.
4. The man stated in semi clear English “give me your car”.
Therefore: I interpreted the man’s intent as a Carjacking (defined as the stealing of an automobile by the use of force or threat of force).
I a member of the Law Enforcement Community, determined that I was faced with lethal force and therefore authorized to use lethal force to stop the illegal action! So I shot him.
Lawsy, Lawsy, dindu and hiz pards wuz jes’ a’waitin’ on dat dar uber ride to shows up and takes dem to the choir practice. 769 some odd murdered in Chiraq last year. 6 just this past weekend.
Just had to lead me into temptation and down the Rabbit Hole of that ’73 New ARMY Colt’s Revolving Pistol…didn’t ya? DIDN’T YA!!! Prolly got the attention of Rgr769 and a few of the other usual suspects too. Thanks!
I like the way someone changed the butt from square to bird-beak. How well does a bird-beak sit in the hand and control recoil?
Depends on the hand.
For me, they roll more and make it harder to get a good grip. They do conceal better.
Agree 100%… wife loves her birdshead .357 but I vastly prefer the plowhandle, Colt or Ruger. With full house loads, hers is ‘way slower on a second shot.
Is that a bayonet stud underneath the barrel of that smoke wagon? (grin)
