Man charged in theft of injured cop's gun

inthelooptv: Let's hope and pray that the 'works' of this savage doesn't kill the Chicago Police Officer whom he moved around so he could steal his gun and perhaps other property.

Officer Densey Cole II is still in critical condition.

Hopefully he won't DIE because of this asshole, be paralyzed, in a coma, etc.

Man charged in theft of injured cop's gun

A 22-year-old South Side man was charged in connection with the theft of a 9 mm Beretta belonging to a Chicago police officer as he lay critically injured following a traffic crash Wednesday at 98th and Halsted Streets, authorities said tonight.

Rasaan Shannon, of the 9800 block of South Morgan Street, was charged with strong arm robbery, disarming a peace officer and unlawful use of a weapon by a felon, police said, adding that the injured officer's gun was recovered.

Officer Densey Cole II was unconscious in his police SUV after the accident, officials said, which happened about 11:45 a.m. Wednesday. Four other people also were hurt in the crash.

"Whoever would prey on a wounded officer, incapacitated, take his weapon and then roll him around with a spinal injury to try and steal his wallet, is reprehensible," Police Supt. Jody Weis said Thursday.
