Saturday morning feel good story
Ex-PH2 sends us a link to this morning’s feel good story about an off-duty transit cop in Chicago who tried to ignore her doorbell while it was ringing at 9:30 in the morning and she was trying to catch up on her sleep. The doorbell was followed by the noise of someone turning their life around by crashing through her window, so she grabbed her duty weapon and went to investigate;
“She walks down the stairs and hears an individual ransacking the bedroom on the first floor. She says, “Police officer! Put your hands up!” Instead, he lunges at her. The suspect is hit several times,” said Pat Camdem, spokesman, Fraternal Order of Police.
After police arrived, the teenager was taken to Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn. He’s expected to survive.
“If he went in the way they said he did, in the window, he got what he deserved. That’s all I can say. She did what was best for her,” said Pat Williams, neighbor.
“He looked young, yeah. Like a baby. Like he should have been in school somewhere,” said Campbell.
The officer, a mother of two in her late 40s, was not seriously injured. Neighbors say this is the second time her home has been broken into in about the last year and a half.

but but but… its against the law to break in, didnt that stop him? and she said stop, i cant believe he didnt stop. dont all criminals do what they are told? and he was supposed to be in school, we should pass a law to make it criminal to be a criminal!
Glad the lady was to defend herself. Too bad non-LEOs in Chicago have such a hard time getting the tool he had at her disposal to deal with this threat.
gotta love Shitcago.
He survived.
Back to the range, officer.
I’m sure we will hear from his mother about how he is a “good boy”.
All the neighbors seemed VERY supportive of the officer.
Of course, it was the Wrightwood neighborhood, not Englewood, so that might make a difference.
“We are all Trayvon”
53 homicides and 224 wounded in Chi-raq reported for August. Clearly the problem is honest citizens with firearms.
@1 Smitty, thank you for that. I needed a good laugh.
She needs more range time.
