Until other mayors say the same as the Aurora, Illinois mayor, I have to assume they side with lawlessness against cops.
Two women and a man in Illinois‘ second largest city outside Chicago are facing felony charges after allegedly beating and strangling a police officer who pulled them over for a traffic stop.
The Aurora Police Department announced Tuesday that 28-year-old Paul Sherrod, 24-year-old Jennifer Taylor and 26-year-old Sheba Taylor have each been charged with aggravated battery, resisting or obstructing a police officer causing injury and aggravated assault of a peace officer.
A male officer, whose name has not been released, performed a traffic stop on Sherrod around 10:30 p.m. Monday after he allegedly rolled through a stop sign near the intersection of Plum Street and Randall Road near West Aurora High School, Fox 32 Chicago reported.
The vehicle, with two passengers inside later identified as Jennifer and Sheba Taylor, pulled into a driveway in the 600 block of North Elmwood Drive, and “the driver began yelling obscenities out the window,” according to a press release from the police department.
A woman in the back seat then got out of the vehicle, and the officer “ordered her back into the car several times before informing her that she was under arrest for obstructing,” police said. Before she was taken into custody, Sherrod, continuing to yell obscenities, exited the vehicle, approached the officer and told the officer he would fight him if he touched the female passenger.
The officer informed the driver that he was also under arrest for obstructing, and at that moment, Sherrod took off running and the officer ran after him. A second woman exited the vehicle and both Sheba and Jennifer Taylor ran after the officers yelling obscenities.
It’s unclear which Taylor was initially in the back seat during the traffic stop, but police said “the female rear passenger approached the officer as they ran,” and the officer then “turned around and grabbed her arm to take her into custody, but she slipped out of his grip.”
Both women “then began striking the officer with closed fists and kicking his body and head,” police said. “The officer heard a male’s voice and then was struck repeatedly in the head from several angles.” The female passenger “placed her forearm around the officer’s neck and applied significant force to his windpipe, causing him to lose the ability to breathe,” according to the department.
“Our Aurora police officers are entrusted with keeping our community safe from harm. I am at a loss of words when an officer is physically attacked from something that would have been a simple traffic ticket,” Aurora Police Chief Kristen Ziman said in a statement. “We will not allow our city to become a place where criminals feel emboldened, and lawlessness ensues.”
“This type of lawlessness and violence against our police officers cannot and will not be tolerated,” Aurora Mayor Richard C. Irvin said in his own statement. “This was an act of malice and cowardice and I will absolutely seek that the perpetrators are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Let’s keep this officer in our prayers as the officer makes a full and complete recovery.”
The lawless ones have been emboldened.
George Soros missed one.
I guess every traffic stop is now a full SWAT case. Or else, just shoot them when they first fail to comply. When there 3-4 to 1 belligerent individuals to officers there IS imminent danger.
Put the blame where it started; Obama.
I had a dog named Sheba
They seem nice.
Anyone else thinking the cop was white?
I’d also venture to guess these 3 attend BLM peaceful protests regularly.
About twenty-five miles south of me. Had a friend who was a judge (now deceased) that presided in that area. Woe to any of these three ann-e-maals if they ended up in his court room. Their defense attorney would have been working very hard for a change of venue cause he would have put them away for the limit (at risk of discipline to himself for misconduct) for the way he would have handled their cases.
Wondering if this one turns into a pissing contest berating how the cop might have handled it.
Was the cop white?
How come when a black thug claimed he couldn’t breathe the whole world erupted in anger, rioting, lawlessness and mass destruction!
HAVE YOU NOT NOTICED THAT THE MORE WE GIVE THESE THUGS I.E. EQUAL OPPORTUNITY, CICVIL RIGHTS, WELFARE AND OTHER BENEFITS, THEIR OWN HOLIDAY, ETC. ETC…THE CRAZIER THEY GET???
WE NEED TO BACK THE HELL AWAY

Because if the REAL reason (money laundering)were to be found out, everyone would want to know about that. Everything about the true events surrounding fentenalfloyd’s death have been scrubbed, Look for the connection between the owners of the club and floyd and the cop, gone! The owners address was an empty apartment.
Trying to take a troop of primates into custody should never be attempted without backup equipped with a 8 foot capture noose. Loud screeching with lips curled back displaying large canines is a unmistakable warning of imminent attack!
At some level, non-compliance needs to become a shooting offense.

Back in the day IT WAS!

The phrase was “Stop or I’ll shoot.”
The officer should have called for a social worker and that would have taken care of it
I miss the 60’s! When riots happened back then it was nightsticks, riot guns, water cannon and snarling german shepards to greet the animals. The covers of Life and Look magazines would have graphic pics of the dead rioters on their covers for our viewing pleasure.
Those were the good old days!
These must be some of the MAGA terrorists I keep hearing about.
Who needs thirty rounds, Joe? Anyone dealing with violent sub-humans, that’s who.
Mayor Irwin, don’t just say it. Do it! Aurora’s citizens elected you to safe guard their freedoms.
A Mayor in Illinois that still has a set and the courage to standup for what is right? There is a small chance for this country.
