Photos: Unsafe Chicago Police Cars 1




We're beginning a series posting photo evidence concerning unsafe Chicago Police Cars. This is what our officers have to contend with on a daily basis in addition to the danger they experience on the job.

CPD Sgt. Haymaker was killed because of an order to stop salting on Lake Shore Drive as well as possibly a very unsafe police vehicle. LSD is highly dangerous even when dry during the summer. On the day he was killed, I was on the train when I received the text alert that LSD was closed down due to his accident. I remember that day because it was heavily snowing, snow and ice all over the streets and sidewalks hence making commuting very difficult to do.

However according to the Official Chicago Police Blog the Superintendent had this response to one of his officers:

Superintendent's Response

It is important to me to let everyone interested what the truth is. We monitor the content of what is put on this blog so it does not compromise any investigations or LE techniques. The public is who we serve and who pays our salaries - they deserve to know the truth. I appreciate your concerns, but I want people to see the truth. JW


Therefore we are posting the truth. Quite frankly, these photos made me sick and it's all we're posting for the day. I guess the first reponse I had after viewing them was "my God." These vehicles are rolling coffins, people.

By the way...

my cousin was killed in an auto accident in the line of duty. One of the reasons why we also run a police memorial forum since 1999.
