Running from the police in Illinois... "WHATEVER"

[Alpha.Geek]

Policy adopted 6/22/2022,

Police cannot chase you for minor offenses like drinking in public, or anything not "an obvious threat to any person.":

Chicago police will no longer be allowed to chase people on foot

The new policy gives the department permanent rules about when officers can and can't engage in an activity that can endanger themselves, those they're chasing and bystanders.

I think this will end horribly...

Remember, it's Chicago. Everyone is in the process of killing everyone else, so police aren't even necessary, as the place will soon be uninhabited. Just sit back and say goodbye to Chiraq....

Funny I grew up remembering Mayor Richard Dailey handing out ass whooping to the filthy hippies & commies back in 1968. Now those that were getting ass whooping are the Democraps.

Considering how little they are already doing about some crimes in Chicago, that is probably just a case formalizing actual practices. I suspect it will not be long before it is the POLICE fleeing the crime scenes instead of the criminals in Chicago!

Chicago street racers attack cops who tried to stop them doing donuts

A group of between 30 and 40 people shot fireworks at police cars in Chicago. Vandals fired at around eight police cars which had their lights and sirens on. One firework landed on the hood of a patrol car.

I think Chicago and Uvalde are part of a revolution in policing whereby no policing will actually get done

Did anyone note the glowing praise NPR laid on Chitown for following such enlightened cities that already have this type policy in effect? "Baltimore, Philadelphia and Portland, Oregon, already having implemented foot pursuit policies". Those lefty metro areas are some of the most rapidly rising crime zones in the country. Well Chiraq is already to join them as soon as that goofy Mayor Lightpole can get Indiana to quit selling all those guns to the Chitown bad guys. Ever notice the more lefty the location, the stranger the laws they lay on?

Donut squad can't chase the chillin anymore. Daughter's best HS friend's Dad left CPD in the 70s. Couldn't take the crap anymore.

Chicago has been almost like a third-world shit-hole for decades. It's probably only going to get worse under Bug-eyes Lightford!

Well, that would involve paying attention to NPR...

Defund the police was the mantra forever - this is what you get.

They may as well just finish defunding and depolicing. Illinois must issue carry permits now to qualified citizens, and Chiraq cannot ban guns per SCOTUS rulings. Let the citizens handle shit. Police can move on to private sector jobs where they'd be better appreciated, better paid, and not have to deal with Chicago politics anymore.

Or move on to jurisdictions where they are supported and appreciated! I believe that is what is hurting the major cities now - instead of retiring, officers are moving and going to work in better places. If memory serves, there were several departments in Florida that were actively recruiting the NY's Finest!

Except they'll come arrest you for defending yourself or property.

That's what we used to say about the bobbies in England.

I don't pay attention to NPR... just read the article the OP posted and remarked on the content.
