Euler Posted October 31, 2021 at 09:28 PM Share Posted October 31, 2021 at 09:28 PM CWBChicago CWBChicago said: A veteran Chicago police officer is charged with felony reckless discharge of a firearm after she allegedly opened fire on juveniles who stole her SUV while she was loading it with groceries outside an Evergreen Park store on Saturday evening. No injuries were reported. ... Oneta Carney and her husband were loading purchases into their 2022 Toyota 4Runner at Sam's Club, 9400 South Western Avenue, when three males asked if they needed help around 6:45 p.m., prosecutors said. One of the males then opened the SUV's driver's door, climbed in, and drove away with the vehicle. Prosecutors said none of the males threatened Carney or her husband, and none of the offenders displayed any weapons. Carney and her husband ran after the car, and the other two males ran from the scene. But the driver of the stolen SUV stopped momentarily so one of the offenders who was running could climb inside. Carney pulled out her 9-millimeter handgun and fired at the car as it started moving again, prosecutors said. The bullet reportedly struck the ground behind the vehicle. The stolen SUV was moving away from Carney when she fired, prosecutors said, but another car not involved in the incident was moving in her direction. According to the allegations, adults and children were walking in adjacent parking aisles when Carney fired her weapon. ... Around 8:35 p.m. Saturday, on-duty Chicago cops spotted Carney's stolen SUV in the Loop and tried to pull it over on the 200 block of West Wacker Drive. The vehicle crashed into another car and six males ran from the stolen SUV. Police said a 26-year-old man and five juveniles were taken into custody. ... A source said some of the offenders are only 11-years-old. ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbacs Posted November 1, 2021 at 02:50 AM Share Posted November 1, 2021 at 02:50 AM Foxx has already spoken as I heard it two hours ago. Full felony charges are being filed. Children were in the area along with assorted humans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmyers Posted November 1, 2021 at 10:57 AM Share Posted November 1, 2021 at 10:57 AM Foxx is a waste of space. She defends criminals harder than victims. When she stands before the good Lord, she is going to wish she had done things differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundguy Posted November 1, 2021 at 03:52 PM Share Posted November 1, 2021 at 03:52 PM (edited) Trained police officers should be held to a higher standard, perhaps, than the rest of us in such a situation. I'm not a fan of Foxx but... - Property theft - Fleeing subject It would not be lawful for any of us to shoot in this situation as described. The officer and the offenders should all be reprimanded/punished appropriately once found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

vito Posted November 13, 2021 at 09:27 PM Share Posted November 13, 2021 at 09:27 PM What sort of idiot leaves the keys in the car while loading groceries? But I agree that it would be ideal if deadly force were legally able to be used to prevent property theft or to try to recover stolen property.

richp Posted November 14, 2021 at 12:53 PM Share Posted November 14, 2021 at 12:53 PM (edited) Vito, What would your property value threshold be for such a lethal armed intervention? And how would an armed citizen safely (from a legal point of view) make that valuation decision? Very obviously, a car would be in some high value category, but what about someone pilfering a few tools out of a shed?

Rich Phillips But then, what would the cut off for how and when to protect property, and what kind of property? For example... This cop is facing a boat load of trouble for shooting someone trying to steal her car....but... It is a fact, that until recently in Rockford, IF you were working in a shop/factory, and you saw someone just going through your toolbox, and had not actually gotten to the point of taking any tool out of it, you could beat the dog snot out of that individual in front of witnesses. We're talking broken bones and internal injuries. Babbit hammers had other uses besides bashing iron castings into place. Not to mention the uses of a fourteen inch long 1/2 inch drive breaker bar. The would be thief would be fired and thrown out the door. And IF the tool box owner were charged, the judge would automatically declare the tool box owner innocent and dismiss the case the moment he heard the words "I caught him in my toolbox, without permission." Yes, that did happen a few times over the years, the last time maybe seven or eight years ago. Rockford was a manufacturing town, and every judge knew 'how important a man's or woman's tools were'. "I'll loan a tool to you, but steal any tool from me, and I'll ugly you up so bad, your mother would throw up seeing your face." was the common attitude. So, value of property might determine what the court's response would be, but also the community mores and 'customs'. A beat down for stealing tools was a case of "I caught him stealing my tools and gave him his lumps....books balanced" vs. being shot for swiping a cop's car. Different values on property compared to different values on the thief's lives. This could be a fun topic for a while Edited November 14, 2021 at 05:23 PM by Kaeghl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richp Posted November 14, 2021 at 06:10 PM Share Posted November 14, 2021 at 06:10 PM Sure, context is important -- things like public sentiment, as well as prosecution policy and practice. Such issues will always be in play, and any CC lisencee will have to navigate those shoals. But to the point, does Illinois law offer any useful, concrete guidance on the subject of how much property value must be involved to justify the deployment and use of deadly force, if at all?
