them badges ain't bullet proof pal...The title sounds like a threat to the military.
Badge is not a shield. You shoot me, I shoot you.
An incredibly violent city is doubling down on the bad policy which has led to the rampant violence.
Back attcha baby
The whole article is a tragedy about our country.
So, if you have a gun, legal, or not, the police will shoot you? I understand that is boiling WAY down; it is the crux of the comment, though. Sounds to me that the Chicago Police just declared war on the Constitution and law abiding citizens.
Really!?!?!
Well, jackass. That is a two way street.
Your officers don’t really want to kill innocent people.
You’re gonna create some real anger problems and alcoholics within your ranks, as men struggle with their concience.
We have an unrestricted number of guns on the street in most parts of the country without more shootings. It’s only in big blue cities like Chicago where we have most of the shootings.
Standard corrupted police: we WILL murder you.
The quote in the article says that, if you draw down on a police officer you will probably get shot.
That is entirely consistent with the way I have always understood the universe. I have 34-state CCW but I make it a practice not to point guns at police officers.
THAT can ruin your day.
Putting gunz in the hands of psychos with a Napolian/Rambo complex is even far more dangerous and deadly.
Funny, that’s why they carry guns.
interesting story benasawin....What I hear him saying is ‘we don’t care about the law or justice or our citizens.. we will kill if we ‘feel’ threatened’...[ but crips and bloods we will hide from ]
them badges ain't bullet proof pal...Well, no shit sherlock. Police have a right to defend themselves when their lives are in danger. However you could probably count on one hand how many CCW who had illegally fired a weapon. Now count on all 10 fingers and 10 toes and every hair on your head of the illegal carry who kill every day in the inner cities. Your mind is not operating correctly.
Your logic doesn't make sense.
Don’t worry porky, by the time your boys arrive on the scene, the gun won’t be pointed at anyone anymore.
What Chicago Police Superintendent Gary McCarthy is saying: Chicago police are free to murder anyone they want, any time, any place, any where, without consequence. Innocent civilians defending themselves against thugs and gang members or criminals — it doesn’t matter. My cops are above the law. And as a bonus, we will shoot your dog(s) too.
At first I thought this was another John Semmens satire piece but after reading, truth is stranger than fiction!
“We spend six months in the police academy, six months of field training and ongoing training on a regular basis and the fact is once in a while we’re going to shoot someone with a cellphone; we’re going to shoot somebody with a flashlight and none of that is okay. But now you take John Q. Civilian, you give them six weeks or 10 weeks of training and you say ‘have at it?”
So just because highly trained cops don’t know the difference between a cellphone or flashlight and a weapon average civilians will surely go around shooting people holding those objects?
Only the police should be allowed to have guns.
