Chicago News, hospital shooting
Let me tell you a little story called “If you haven’t read the Assata Shakur autobiography, yet. You should.”
TLDR: a prisoner was getting treated at a hospital. Somehow, they ended up shooting two officers. The state begs for your emotional attachment to members of an abusive authority system.
The only people that would have had a gun is an officer.
The officer’s guns Should have been strapped down, with safetys one as the person was already well within their custody since they were transported from the prison to the hospital (getting to the hospital over an hour before the incident).
There, for sure, were two officers present. So, if the prisoner rushed them, they should not have been able to get to the officer, unstrap their gun, remove the safety, and shoot both officers with nobody doing anything. Not from our “best and brightest”
If you haven’t read the Assata Shakur autobiography or any other prisoner accounts of officers brandishing weapons to intimidate, I recommend it
But given the extensive history of chi police abusing those in custody (I fucking dare you to look into the illinois 2024 ballot and Eileen O’Neill Burke, the democrat that ran for, and unfortunately won, Cook County State Attorney) I will not rule out the possibility of abusive authorities getting their due.
