Since I’ve now been programmed by the media and internet to keep score ,,,,,, DOES ANYONE KNOW THE SKIN COLOR OF THESE CRIMINALS? It seems that this most important piece of information has not been released.

What you should have asked was.......Dom, did you not shoot and engage as you should have because you knew you’d be taken off the street for an extended period of time and not be able to work all your PJ’s. Let’s keep it 100 here.

Very true statement by you. You seldom apologize and you always judge cops, sometimes without all of the facts and with no consideration for a person's family or the aftermath that ensues afterwards because your "sometimes" slanted views fuel the fires of the anonymous cowards who would normally never have a face to face with the cops and fireman you feel you're qualified to judge, insult and harass with your platform. I'm sure if anyone offered you an opportunity for a "backroom meeting" you would decline or call one of your cop buddies to bail you(rescue) out and jam them up. Typical for anyone who hides behind a keyboard and promulgates incendiary information.

"Typical for anyone who hides behind a keyboard and promulgates incendiary information".

Isn't that what you just did? At least I gave Officer Agostino the chance to tell me his side and I posted that under my own name along with my apology, can you say the same?

You know why cops and fireman post anonymously. The toxic environments that you love posting about are homes of some of the most vindictive people on earth. You can post freely with no repercussions. And you know that's the truth.

Let's place the blame where it truly belongs on this unsupportive atmosphere that has been created by this current command staff. Us officers are well aware that we will not be supported and are afraid to take appropriate action on the street. I am sure that bits of this raced through Doms mind as that shooting unfolded causing him to hesitate. A track record of punishing officers involved in any OIS has been clearly apparent over the last year. The officers involved in the South Whitney Street OIS are banned from working certain areas of the city and have been given strict orders to not be in the same cruiser under any circumstances. This is no secret either as Lantern announced it during a roll call some weeks back for us all to hear embarrassing one of the officers. All officers in any way shape or form involved in the 84 OIS have been transferred from their position since. We all know the only reason the two detectives have not is because it's well known they would never go quietly. The detectives have way to much experience and time on the job to allow that to happen. The result of all this lack of support is what we see now a city in crisis with uncontrollable gun violence. Time to leave Dom alone and take a look at the bigger picture of what is happening here.

All the officers mentioned in said comment are great cops who have been negatively impacted by doing their jobs and doing them cleanly and well. You don’t think we see that? No leadership. Bring back spongebob 🧽 nice vid on fox61 tonite Mr Brockman!!! Thody going down ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ Punish everyone thody. Like middle school. Joke

If we do a small rewind to the spring when the OG street crimes guys (Hebert, Chanaca, Gashi, Herman, Taylor, Duarte) and Fallon/Kearney B squad crew were in the north end every night, crime was at its lowest ever. In fact, a source in the complex who has since retired stated “Thody’s putting on his resume lowest crime rates ever.” Then Thody and inner circle messed everything up cause they can’t lead and they have no experience. All the sudden VIN started going sideways, And officers began being punished for proactive work. I’m not saying those names prevented the violence but when you put quality people in the right spots there’s a significant impact. Now Hebert is being punished (involved in OIS on 84), Rocky Last shipped back to patrol after a traumatic incident. Chanaca gone. Fallon south permanent, Kearney north. Chris White / Bodner birdied in the academy. Don’t you see that you’re showing officers that they’ll be punished if their name is in the news? All above officers did their job and what they were trained to do, shame on you all command staff. You’re breeding laziness and you’re scaring our employees into not taking action if need be. Dom isn’t the issue, the precedent that Thody and Bowsza and Medina have set is the issue.

Leak,

There is a time and a place for everything. I am very disappointed in Fox 61 for airing the video, but that is the nature of tabloid journalism and apparently viewers love the drama. I didn't see what they aired but I heard about it. That video was being widely distributed almost within minutes of the incident and I had several more copies sent to me through out the night. At one point I received still shots of the first responding officer kneeling over the dead woman body to prove to me the officer did render first aid. I chose not to post those photos out of respect for the woman's family. I know another local television station had the full version of the incident that I received, body flying through the air and everything. luckily they showed the decency, as did I, not to be first and put the gruesome video out. For Chief Thody to order that all of the video be shut down and the camera access to all officers be shut down is borderline insanity. Officers use that video access numerous times daily for criminal investigations as well as accidents and other things and to now remove that tool from them is ridiculous. It makes no sense to build a multi million dollar network and then act like a ten year old and take your toys home when you don't like how things are going. I am told the video server didn't even log who accesses files, who are we paying to build these systems, they clearly have no clue about system security if there is no user log of who is going into your systems. Leaks happen , deal with it. I am often the beneficiary of some of those leaks but I also have called Chief Thody, Chief Medina or LT Cicero many times to make sure the information I have been given would not damage an ongoing investigation, and numerous times I have held back on information until it wouldn't damage a case.

Chief Thody and his command staff need to learn to manage and not just react. That is what they are paid for, if they are unsure how to, or unwilling to manage , they should be replaced

Do you really think Thody is remotely concerned with officers being able to use video in real time to assist them in criminal investigations, apprehending criminals, accidents and other things? Obviously not by the looks of things. The city is in the worst shape it’s ever been in.

The Thody motto- Punish everyone for my own failures and lack of leadership qualities.

Kevin, props to you for listening to Dom and admitting you were wrong to judge him so quickly. Too many times people judge what a police officer does or does not do in a high stress situation such as this from the comfort of their computer screen. I am also glad Dom reached out to you to tell you what a shit-show he drove in to. It could have been much worse for him and other bystanders. Dom IS an experienced police officer, like him or hate him, that is not the issue. Finally, for the other "anonymous cop posters" who said they would have done this or they would have done that and fired back and killed all the bad guys, blah, blah, blah....stop it. You would have been too busy sh*tting yourself and crying for your mommy. Dom would never back away from a fight!
