Palatine cop runs over pedestian 4 am
What happened here?
I should have taken a picture with my phone.
A Palatine cop driving east bound on rt 68, went through the rt 12 intersection, less than 50 feet and hit some one, walking across the highway or maybe, was stop ed, waiting for the cop car to pass or ran into a fast moving police car (any thing can happen, I doubt this is what happened though, I suspect it was more like a head on).
If a guy looks both ways, then starts walking across the street, minding his own business, looking at his destination on the other side, and a cop comes flying down the road with lights, no siren from to the side and behind him.....and we have a 21 year old in a coma with a 50/50 chance to live
This happened at Rand and Dundee around 3:30 am 05-02-09 (at 4:45 am a small SUV came with 2 plain cloths people), Palatine and Kildeer had the inter section all but closed, just about every squad car on duty from both towns were there, maybe the county cars were there, but didn't see em.
Let me guess, another cop driving around higher than a kite?
Did any one think of a BAC, urine, blood test on the cop?
A Arlington Hts cop doing a drug test on Palatine cop?
Did the Alington Hts cop check the Palatine cop car and the Palatine cop that was involved in the accident for any drugs, drug paraphernalia, field sobriety test, or excess cash?
That is a photo enforced intersection, let me guess, that don't matter.
Was this cop going to a ATM, in a hurry, a little distracted? Deposits for the evening were down a little?
I see the good ole Wenrich, Hunter, Haas, Bratcher days haven't gone anywhere.
Welcome to Palatine
Another cover up?
The paramedics took the victim to Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge
I will bet this is kind of like, what a cop was doing at a atm about 1/4 mile from this location at about the same time, same day of the week, months ago. This event, is old news, I bloged about a while ago.
Some criminal behavior is like clock work, these cops look at all the criminal activity and all the mistakes made, all the booty lost and think, I can do it better, who will know, who will arrest me.
