Street Gangs Targeting Chicago Police for Assassination
[PJ Media] The Chicago Sun-Times is reporting that three Chicago street gangs are conspiring to assassinate city police officers.Leaders from three prominent gangs met last week to discuss the plan, according to an alert issued by the CPD. The meeting took place Thursday between higher-ups from the Vice Lords, Black Disciples and Four Corner Hustlers, according to an alert issued to department members the day after the meeting. The Four Corner Hustlers "provided guns" and have "a sniper in place" though authorities do not know where, according to the alert. The Four Corner Hustlers also are supplying the other two gangs with automatic weapons, which all three factions also have agreed to use against police, the alert states. The three gangs are located primarily in the Austin and Harrison districts, which cover much of the West Side. In an email Monday afternoon, department spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said: "To safeguard the integrity of operations, the department does not comment on any security measures." According to police sources, department members have also been advised to "limit interactions and visibility." Dean Angelo, president of Lodge 7 of the Fraternal Order of Police, said "rhetoric" from the attorney representing Paul O’Neal’s family and statements from Independent Police Review Authority head Sharon Fairley were both to blame for threats against police. "We had inflammatory and false rhetoric coming from [Michael Oppenheimer] and statements that weren’t true," Angelo said. "You also have a lead investigator in police-involved deaths talking about how shocking and disturbing this is." Posted by: Besoeker 2016-08-11 |
