Possible Timcast Raid, Chicago Police Purposely HIt Protester With Police Van

On 19 May 2012, Chicago Blogger and Videocaster, Timcast, may have been raided by the Chicago Police Department without a warrant and without any exigent circumstance. At this time, it appears as if someone in the Timcast group of friends or Timcast himself were not home when the raid happened, but someone they were staying with who has a boyfriend on the Chicago Police Department had relayed the details of a raid that are now conflicting. This unidentified female apparently told someone in the Timcast group one story and then told Occupiers a conflicting story.

First, she said she was denied entry to the apartment and then she said she saw the police but did not make contact with them and walked away. Because of these conflicting stories and for his own safety, Timcast and their group are staying in a hotel tonight.

This reporter logged into the Livestream and asked Timcast about the raid details without any reply. The information printed here came from the details given during the Livestream. Later in the night on 19 May 2012, Timcast and the group were pulled over at gunpoint by Chicago Police. Timcast and the group state they have video of this incident. Shortwave America has that video here.



Video streaming by Ustream

According to a statement by Timcast via the current Livestream, the video was either interrupted or deleted by Chicago Police during the stop before it could be recorded in the UStream archive. At this time, Shortwave America has learned directly from the Timcast livestream that Chicago Police are waiting to find out where Timcast and group are staying at and have plans to "meet him". 

Other NATO Operations news comes as Chicago Police purposely run over a protester. Shortwave America was on-scene where the protester was hit. Chicago Police made absolutely no efort to check on the well being of the protester they hit. Shortwave America news correspondent, Dogstar7, has video which is now being demanded by Superintendent Garry McCarthy. Caution warning for disturbing footage.



Above is a photo of the Chicago Police Officer who was allegedly driving the van that hit the protester in the video. Photo compliments of @Freddy1229 on Twitter.

This is the first I have heard that my video is in demand by the Chicago Police Superintendent. Gosh, it's only been up on YouTube for an hour. I watched as the van accelerated after striking several bystanders.

It appeared to me that those who put their bodies in the path were attempting to slow the vehicle before it could endanger other unwary demonstrators.

It was alleged by police commanders on the scene, and reported in the main stream media, that the tires of the van had been slashed and that the person who was transported to the hospital has been charged. It did not appear to me that this alleged damage slowed the vehicles progress at any time. Police vehicles employ run-flat tires, if I am not mistaken.

I know for a fact that they use shitty tires. How they can arrest a person whom THEY hit, and whom they ALLOWED to HANG ON THE FRONT OF THEIR VAN is just ridiculous!

I was told the video was in demand as well as other videos that were taken. The person who told me will remain confidential on this blog, but will tell you if you contact me.

What fantasy world do you live in ?

CPD does NOT employ run flat tires.
Grow up and Leave Chicago.

Thanks to all of you who support the journalism practiced here. Shortwave America now restates the policy on threatening comments. Those earlier threats were deleted as they should have been.

For those who want to know per derogatory and threatening comments left earlier, Shortwave America supports Police only so far as their actions are legal and reasonable for the preservation of public safety.

The idiot jumped on the police van! Let's not make something out of nothing.

I heard that the protester jumped on the van, then jumped off... The van wasn't going that fast, and it doesn't appear that anyone was run over. Any other videos that show things from a different angle?

May 20, 2012 7:10 PM, Yeah, right! If I had a warrant for functioning as a member of the independent media, the National Lawyers Guild and ACLU would have been in contact with me. They have my information and are aware of exactly the type of journalism coverage I am performing you dipshit.
