Thursday, September 29, 2011, around 10:27 p.m., police were called to a second floor apartment on the 6500 block of North Glenwood Avenue, near Glenwood and Loyola.
A preliminary report indicated at least two people were engaged in a physical confrontation, and a woman involved in the disturbance, was allegedly armed with a knife.
At 10:31 p.m., a taser was deployed at the North Glenwood address and an ambulance was called to the scene.
Subsequent reports indicate the police tasered a male subject, who was later transported to a nearby hospital.
No further details are available.
Sure would be nice to be able to carry one of these!
ReplyDeletei know towanda . who would have thought 10 years ago you would need to carry a taser on the north side.
ReplyDeleteI can't even express how inadequately armed I feel as a woman with a night job, with merely pepper spray and a knife.
ReplyDelete@Kat,
ReplyDeleteIt's like taking a squirt gun to the war and these ghetto thugs don't have a problem attacking women, the elderly or handicapped. Their lack of ANY humanity is beyond pathetic.
@Anonymous11:02,
If someone would have told me the north side would turn into the wild wild west, I would have told them they needed to adjust their meds..lol.
TASER is a useful tool for law enforcement, but it is not really adequate for self-defense.
