ZitatChicago’s illustrious Police Chief, Superintendent or SuperNintendo (whichever you wish to call him) got on a local radio station in Chicago and told it like he perceives it. He said that citizens licensed to carry could be, and indeed predicted they would be shot by Chicago Police Officers.
Like that happens in 49 other states (or 56 other states if you listen to Barack Obama).
Here’s the words from the Chicago’s Chief Street Light Asssassin, as reported by News in Black:
“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.”
I didn't hear or read everything that came from the turds mouth but apparently others did.

Some quotes ..
ZitatMcStupid just gave any law abiding citizen who shoots an antagonist in self defense an affirmative defense for fleeing the scene and not immediately reporting the event – a justifiable fear that they will be shot by the responding police – as articulated by the Superintendent himself.
Anyone planning to obtain a conceal carry permit once they become available needs to save this article with a screen capture – in fact frame it too! ======================
Truly unreal. What a thing to say. How did this man make it to the top of a major city PD. He is a complete puppet. I cringe when he makes such bizarre comments. My non-cop pals think he is very weird. He now has us shooting law abiding people who just happen to be turning towards the police wiith a gun in their hand? Then says this will assuredly happen. He goes on radio and says " no overtime for CAPS meetings"? And, " Why are we paying cops overtime to do their job?" What the hell does that even mean? When was the last year there was overtime for that? Plus, no one wanted to attend those meetings on their days off or after their tour ended. 3 hours on the books to disrupt our lives while being forced to listen to citizens bitch and moan wasn't good overtime. It was painful. Then he and Rahm come up with a bizarre new buzz phrase " force multiplier" referring to community police changes. This is sick. We get zero respect from the mayor or McCarthy. Sad.

Remember, McKillTheCitizens was documented to have been shooting out streetlights when he carried a gun in New York - is that really the sort of asshole who should be telling citizens they can't have guns after a year of 500+ homicides, 2,500+ shootings and a January that is already 200% ahead of last years dismal showing?
============================
Letting Liberal Democrats set your gun policy is like letting pedophiles run your children´s day care. It may turn out alright, but I wouldn´t bet that way.

This wouldn't be laughable if my spouse weren't a CPD officer, or got more training than just annual qualification. But of course, McCarthy is banking on the average citizen not knowing that, and believing everything he/she hears.
It also wouldn't be laughable if it weren't so bumbling and bastardly ignorant of him to say shit like "Yeah, well, sometimes we shoot people holding cell phones or flashlights, tough tit..."
