  1. Glad they caught this turd but how many police officers were actually needed?

    Crystal Lake, Alqonquin, Lake In The Hills, Cary, Oakwood Hills and SWAT?

    They were all needed for one guy with a knife?

  2. Do not always know what is in a building. L. Ron.

    If you were ever a cop, your methods would get you killed.

    The facts come out after the incident.

  3. “officers met with suspect who immediately barricaded himself in a bathroom while threatening them with a knife.”

    Kind of had him contained, while they had cover, didn’t you, he brought a knife to a gun fight and is locked in a bathroom?

    Not so sure you would need a MABAS for a turd backed up in a toilet.

    When you get too many officers involved, that’s when the bad things start happening, ask YouTube.

  4. Sanctuary state, why are the State Police brass OK with that!!!

  5. A crazy skinhead get’s taken down for a variety of serious crimes, precluding yet another “Section 8” minority arrestee hate story, and haters try to turn the story around to Illinois’ compassionate policies they don’t like.

    There’s a mental illness that fits that type of misconduct.

    Paranoid psychosis.

  6. Skinhead really Underwood?

    Looks like a bad transgendered to me.

    I’m surprised you’d disparage your own kind.

  7. Compassionate conservative republikkklans, please join me in the outrage after this assault on our right to carry a knife. This is part of the second amendment, right? Stay tuned…tic, tock, tic, tock, tic, tock, meeeeeeoooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwww…
