Chicago cop fatally shoots 19-year-old student and accidentally kills 55-year-old mother of five
The Chicago Police Department was under fire again Saturday, the day after Christmas, after cops responding to a domestic disturbance call fatally shot a 19-year-old college student Quintonio LeGrier and accidentally killed a 55-year-old mother of five Bettie jones.
Officers were summoned to the West Garfield Park home about 4:20 a.m. after Quintonio LeGrier, 19, started having one of his mental episodes.
Chicago police initially released few details on the shooting, saying only that an officer opened fire after they were “confronted by a combative subject.” But late Saturday, the department admitted that Jones was struck by a bullet meant for LeGrier. LeGrier’s father told reporters he had called the police and then Jones — warning her not to open her door until the officers showed up.
Before arriving at the scene on Saturday, the officers were told by a dispatcher that the domestic disturbance involved a teen wielding a baseball bat. dispatcher said it was “also coming in as a domestic. The 19-year-old son is banging on his bedroom door with a baseball bat.”
Once cops arrived, Antontio LeGrier said, he started heading downstairs when he heard the crack of gunfire.
By the time he made it to the ground floor, his son and Jones were lying motionless in the foyer.
The officer, LeGrier said, was yelling, “no, no, no.”
“In my opinion, he knew he had messed up. It was senseless,” Antonio LeGrier, 47, told the Chicago Sun-Times. “He knew he had shot, blindly, recklessly into the doorway and now two people are dead because of it.”
Jones’ daughter Latisha said she was jolted awake by the sound of gunfire — and then found her mother splayed out on the floor of their apartment, bleeding from the neck.
“She wasn’t saying anything,” Latisha Jones said. “I had to keep checking for a pulse.”
LeGrier’s mother, Janet Cooksey, who was not present at the time of the shooting, lashed out at the officers for taking the life of her only son. She said Quintonio was an engineering student at Northern Illinois University who was dealing with mental issues.
“We’re thinking the police are going to service us, take him to the hospital,” Cooksey told the Chicago Tribune. “They took his life.”
The chicago police are currently working on the investigation.

being a female means needing to see 10 different doctors to get a proper diagnosis because they always think you’re exaggerating and/or lying
define proper diagnosis. I mean, does that just mean the diagnosis you want?
no :) it means going to 10 different doctors who disbelieved your symptoms until the 11th found cysts on your ovaries :) which may mean infertility :) sit on a cactus :)
or being told not being able to walk up a flight of stairs without fainting/not being able to stay awake for more than 5 hours was ‘anxiety’ until finally the 5th doctor you saw diagnosed ur CFS/ME
It’s not getting proper treatment for over a decade because people think another female only disease isn’t real. And your insurance still does not cover your prescription even though it’s the only one you can take.
Dismissing symptoms for three years before finally sending you to a specialist and suddenly everything is happening very very fast because it is so obviously cancer.
Being constantly hounded to “just lose 5 or 10 pounds” when you came in for a fucking bronchial infection. Being talked over when you try to emphasize the fact that, not only did you not come in to talk about your weight, you are also recovering from an eating disorder.
The amount of eye rolls and shitty recommendations I got from doctors when trying to find the cause of my sexual pain was astounding.
It’s almost going blind after a years worth of appointments that culminated in the doctor telling me to “come back when you have a real problem” and finally getting referred to a specialist that found that I had spinal fluid pooling in my brain and pressing on my optic nerve causing me to slowly go blind.
Going to the emergency room over and over again, because of severe abdominal pain, vomiting after meals, and weight lose. Having a doctor not talk to you, but your father instead. Then being put on anti-psychotics (the doctor said they were anti-anxiety), after the doctor tells your father that you’re faking it for attention. Going back to the emergency room a year later in so much pain you’re delirious, only to be left there for hours, because they still think you could be faking it. Only to find out that you have gallbladder pancreatitis and it’s gotten so bad that emergency surgery is the only option and you almost die because NO ONE took you seriously because not only were you female but your were a teenager.
There are actually research articles and opinion pieces on this. My two favorites include “How Doctors Take Women’s Pain Less Seriously” and “The Girl Who Cried Pain”
2015 in a nutshell
-Can’t remember when it started
-Still don’t understand how yesterday wasn’t Halloween
-Did I even have a birthday?
-Why doesn’t anything feel real?
-Where the fuck are my memories I seriously don’t remember anything

I love that anti-feminists can say that misogynist jokes are JUST JOKES but refuse to understand the concept of ironic misandry and why it’s different and subversive rather than oppressive but lmao sure misandry jokes are true examples of pure unadulterated sexism and jokes about misogyny are JUST JOKES
Accurate response.
The only response tbh
This is a good gif set
