Aw Hell. Horrible.

Thank You for your honored service Officer.

R.I.P.

Was the other vehicle part of the training scenario or just a random motorist?

Sympathies to family, friends, and DPD.

I think random, to early to be sure.

Should point out here was involved in one of the recent shootings as well, Apr 30. He pulled his partner to safety after he was shot in the head, earning a Purple heart and medal of valor. Only a year or two on the force. Truly a hero.

Bystander.

So far, bystander, making left turn, minor contact (minimal damage, minor injuries to occupants) with officer apparently going through red light, "became airborne" (???) and struck a brick wall splitting the car in two.

Westbound Michigan Ave has lots of brick wall around the corners of that intersection as retaining wall as well as pylons for railroad tracks you're going under.

Unapproved training not sanctioned by Commander of professional services section, typically not done out in public, or at high speed.

Sounds like someone is going to get hammered for this. Perhaps justifiably so, time will tell...

I was the only one that went this time, usually I let someone else drive so I can get pictures...

RIP Ofc. Weathers

Really glad I went, I expected a lower than normal turnout, not a lot of out of state attendence compared to normal also. So every additional body attending was important, hopefully gave the family some comfort...

One thing I'll add about the funeral.. one of the local politicians gave a little speech, noting last April he earned the highest commendation the department has to offer, the Medal of Valor, which she pronounced medal of vay-lor.

I almost got pissed, until I realized there's no way a politician would be familiar with a concept such as valor, can't really blame her for being unable to pronounce it correctly.

Rest in peace brother.

I got my picture in the local paper. I'm the guy in the light blue, lower right. I think we're the only ones still wearing light blue in the state.

In case you guys wondered what I look like IRL.

I was going to Photoshop a black bar to conceal my identity, but I'll risk breaking OPSEC this one time and post a picture...
