The Kindness of Strangers

A trained nurse, Rachelle Jackson immediately ran toward the sound of the crash. A Chicago police car had collided with another vehicle and was starting to smoke, two officers still inside. Fearing an explosion, she quickly pulled one officer from the passenger side. She never imagined her act of kindness nearly six years ago would land her in jail for more than 10 months on charges that she robbed, battered and disarmed a peace officer.
Easily fixed.

They don't want us lifting a finger one way, I guess I won't lift a finger the other way, either. Not if it means putting my freedom at risk.

Too bad. I've generally proven pretty helpful in emergency situations over the years.

  1. No question a huge lack of common sense isn't to be found with the police in this matter. So the nurse is still at the side of the injured cop. If she didn't have the gun then, she didn't have it before. She didn't go home stash the gun and return to keep on going aid to the injured cop.
    I can tell everyone reading that helping the government in any way is never remembered by the parasites in government. They will be very nice at the time if they need someone to go to court to help them out in say a lawsuit. But don't ever think for one second that should a day ever come that a person needs a little help cutting through the parasite maze to get something settled (noncriminal) any help in return will never happen.
    However I'm not saying if someone, anyone is badly hurt turn your back on them. I'll saying anything a person does that helps the folks in government will never be remembered or respected. The proof of this is a simple case to make. Look at how hard we work for the money government taxes us on. Than the government pisses that money away with no respect of the hard work people did to earn that money. The parasites in government see needing more money from the people as just making up some new scam of a law to enact a new tax or raise the rates of taxes in place. No respect for the time you give and the hard work you do to earn the many they tax. What more proof do people need to know that the parasites in government have zero respect for them.

  2. Much better to leave the gun on the injured, unconscious officer for DaQuaShawn to find while you're helping the other victims, yeah.
    Do the police not read the news? Hit and run victims have their wallets lifted all the time. Then I guess nurse Jackson would have been an accessory to providing a gun to a minor or felon. No good deed goes unpunished.
    We've been warned.

  3. And now some five million people in the Chicago area have internalized the lesson that helping cops will get you arrested, threatened with violence, lied about in court, and tossed in jail with no bail.

    I wouldn't want to be a Chicago cop now. If they thought their job was hard before...

    I've learned right here on War on Guns that if I ever get tangled up with a cop, the only thing out of my mouth will be: "I have nothing to say."

  7. I appreciate your point, Chris. We had just had three members of two rival black urban gangs arrested for killing a 14-year-old (also black) in a crossfire as they shot at each other from their cars. I was lashing out.

  8. That secondcitycop site makes it sound like the whole thing was about ripping the cops off of guns AND BADGES while they were vulnerable. Confusing.
    If the officer in the passenger seat was able to get someone in a full-nelson hold, I'd say she was capable of getting her partner out of the car. I'd let her.
    Like I said, an unconscious body isn't a cry for help to everyone. To some, it's an invitation.
