Teen Shot To Death In Chicago Heights

[truth]

First of all, In my time as a copper I did not see any coppers associate with gang bangers. You people are the first to blame the police for everything that goes wrong. However, when you have a emergency you are running to the phone and calling the police!!!!!!!!!

[real truth]

OPEN your eyes. i know for a fact that there are a few bad ones right here in the heights. how long have you been a cop? and for the heights you said right?
start watching a bit closer.
yes and hoping that the officer that comes is a TRUE cop.

[truth]

Real truth If that was the case I am sure they would of been weeded out. Another cop hater.

[real truth]

cop hater? far from that. just chpd hater-for sure

[thoughtful]

Real truth and truth are you the same poster? Are the police corrupt? I do not think so, I think they have some officers with poor attitudes. Those officers reflect bad on the rest.

[real truth]

your so right thoughtful.

YOU WILL ALWAYS BE WITH US. 143---51/50

Im sure the world is a better place without a scumbag gangbanger like that running the street.

He was not in a gang....I have known him for many years. He was a great kid && had his whole life in front of him. Whoever did this needs to be brought to justice and you need to learn some sympathy. He was a son, grandson, brother, && friend. Where's your heart??

yes gangs DONT GET YOU ANYWHERE- thank GOD that you did stop hanging with your cousin/brother. but as far as him killing rick (MY SON) yes he might as well did it -no he didnt pull the trigger but he did have a gun,and he did nothing to help his so called friend out.he watched rick getting shot MANY TIMES & didnt even shoot at Adam Gomez(the killer). he probley would of felt better about this whole thing IF HE WOULD OF AT LEAST HELPED RICK OUT.i would like to talk to your cousin one day(as time goes on) because i never meet this kid(and i knew all my kids friends) so maybe i can get a few questions answered. but i do want to thank you for giving us a summary of his upbring.
