I had to look it up as it was told to me from my brother. I was slightly off in the wording because I got it second hand.

From an anonymous blog written by 3 Chicago cops (contributions come from officers all over the city, and the mayor and police chief have been trying to shut it down for quite a while). Scroll down to Dec 6.

Irony at its finest:
I was out there tonight on Lake Shore drive while the white Protestors. And a few Black Protestors were filming us and yelling. I seen a White Girl with her camera phone filming us. She was holding the camera in the air. Then some black guy grabbed the girls phone and took off into the crowd. The girl then approached the cop next to me and stated that this black guy just grabbed her cell phone. The cop next to me raised his arms up and stated 'Don't call the police'. I started laughing and she turned to me and asked why I was laughing.I stated you don't like or want the police around so you go chase that black guy. She stated that's your job to protect me and my Property. I stated you are protesting me from doing my job. She walked away crying
Point #1 - One copper isn't going to chase this guy into an obviously hostile crowd.
Point #2 - The cops had orders to try to keep the protestors on the sidewalk. The priority wasn't to apprehend phone snatchers. In a volatile situation like that, property crimes take a backseat to the overall picture. Sorry, that's just the way it is.
Point #3 - As we said here a few days ago, fuck the police until you need the police. Do you understand now ma'am?
You may sniff my groin when ready
