Actually, the officer took the gun from the perp.
I guess the kid didn’t get the news that it’s illegal for virtually anyone to own a gun in Chicago.
Somehow, this makes the article even more inspirational and uplifting. I guess this gets another one of those dangerous guns off the streets!
And FourPeas said: "The officer wasn’t carrying. He disarmed the perp who drew on him."
From the linked article: "During a struggle with the teen, the officer grabbed hold of the gun, opened fire and killed him."
I think there is a great deal of ambiguity in this article, perhaps intended.
The article does not say that the perp was killed with his own gun. The article does not say that the Chicago Clown was unarmed. The article doesn't even say that the perp was disarmed; just that the Clown "grabbed hold of the gun".
The article doesn't say that the Clown "opened fire with the perp's gun"; it just says the Clown "opened fire".
If a so-called "journalist" working for the Main Stream Media wanted to avoid the question of whether the Clown was armed, this would be a way to make it appear that the Clown was unarmed, despite the Clown being one of Chicago's elite.
If you were an off-duty Chicago cop, and were allowed to carry, would you be unarmed? Neither would I.
Yep!
