“You put more guns on the street expect more shootings. I don’t care if they’re licensed legal firearms, people who are not highly trained… putting guns in their hands is a recipe for disaster. So I’ll train our officers that there is a concealed carry law, but when somebody turns with a firearm in their hand the officer does not have an obligation to wait to get shot to return fire and we’re going to have tragedies as a result of that. I’m telling you right up front.”

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.
Don’t apologize for making an accurate summary.
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 ]

With Chicago's crime and murder rates, maybe we need to label the Chicago police "Special Needs" so they can get help under ADA.
Yes, anyone with a gun in his hand when the cops arrive is strongly advised to place it on the ground and step away from it. That is the way it has been and I don’t see this changes anything, tho the tone of the statement by the police chief is very nasty.
It would be hard to identify a more corrupt city in the US.
It’s no surprise, then, when Chicago’s police department takes the law into its own hands for interpretation...
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.
