CFD, probably stand for Chicago Fire Department,

[SheltieLover]

1. K&R!

[demtenjeep]

2. a member of the Fire Dpt?

How disgusting

[Johnny2X2X]

6. Probably not

That hat is available for purchase a lot of places.

[NurseJackie]

31. He wouldn't be an active fire fighter with that facial hair.

[Progressive Jones]

36. Correct. Absolutely not in Chicago. Moustaches only. nt

[bdamomma]

67. They are finding

Police Officers from other states that engaged with the insurrection.

[LizBeth]

3. Wow and killed a cop, rw Trump supporting cop with a fire extinguisher, all kinds or irony.

[Arne]

4. Bet all the facial hair has been shaved off. n/t

[Siwsan]

20. They should release this photo with his beard photoshopped off

And one of it dyed.

[safeinOhio]

30. Too late, folks that know him

will know it's him.

[Leghorn21]

5. Great news!! Saw a video earlier of him throwing the damn thing, but only his shoulder was

visible

YEAH YOU FUCKIN MURDERING MOTHERFUCKER

[MontanaMama]

7. Coward has most likely shaved his beard

but he will undoubtedly be found. These assholes always brag about their exploits to somebody. Someone knows.

[blm]

8. Oh no, how could a firefighter turn against humanity like this?

This is so wrong. I hope he isn’t a firefighter and just wearing the cap to steal honor.

[happybird]

9. CFD could also be the Charlottesville FD. n/t

[LisaL]

15. It's Chicago.

Chicago Fire Department.

[Progressive Jones]

50. I don't think it's Chicago. That cap is more purple. The Chicago FD

gear is dark navy blue; almost black. Also, those type of hats can be purchased all over Chicago. I have one, and I'm not on the department. I got it from a friend who is.

Another thing. That guy couldn't sport that goatee on the CFD. Moustaches only.

[LisaL]

55. The hat is dark blue.

Not purple.

[Progressive Jones]

57. Maybe I didn't make my point so well.

Versus a Chicago FD hat, the one in the photo is "purplish". Possibly faded. Chgo. FD gear is darker.

Don't worry. If he's from here, he will be found.

[LisaL]

58. It's the same hat.

The photo is zoomed from the video. His hat looks dark blue in the video. Him wearing the hat obviously doesn't mean he is a firemen with Chicago FD. Anybody can buy the hat. But he is wearing a dark blue hat with CFD (Chicago Fire Department) logo on it.

[jcgoldie]

60. I agree

The font is pretty distinct and identical.

[yardwork]

75. I think the hat just looks purple because of the lighting. It's probably black.

It's like that white dress/blue dress image a few years ago.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

25. First thing I thought of. Or Charleston (but which one?). Or Charlotte. Or Canandaigua. Or ...

Also, wearing the beanie doesn't mean he's a member. I buy a lot of stuff at thrift stores with logos.

[William769]

10. Confused Fucked Dude. nt

[DEbluedude]

17. Can't Find Dick. nt

[Ilsa]

76. You and William are killing me! nt

[Tree-Hugger]

11. The Hat

[Jarqui]

26. I think you have found a winner ...

Haven't found him in Chicago Fire Dept pics but most of them look clean shaven. Maybe he's a retired fireman

[Tree-Hugger]

29. Thank you

I can never remember how to get pics to show up.

As far as I know, firemen prefer not to have beards since it's a fire risk. He could have been off for a while or retired. Or just a supporter?

[Jarqui]

35. Maybe a father.

Whatever, you proved that it can be narrowed down substantially.

Chicago Police Union leader defended the attackers
https://blockclubchicago.org/2021/01/11/chicago-police-union-boss-should-resign-after-defending-capitol-rioters-aldermen-say/

So it is not like there are not any Trumpers in Chicago.

They're going to catch this guy. He's in deep trouble for apparently killing a police officer as he should be if he did it.

Doesn't look like Antifa to me ....

[Blue_true]

46. Chicago police appear to be among the worst in the country when it comes to realizing their

responsibility to ALL citizens. Just listen at some that get caught within microphone range. Their general attitudes toward Blacks in particular seem to be unprofessional and corrosive.

[Progressive Jones]

68. This is true. Many here suck, but many are also on the square. nt

[Blue_true]

69. I believe I understand why they don't, but I wish decent Cops

would make it a top priority to get the bad ones off the force.

[Progressive Jones]

73. Absolutely. I have no doubt that good ones have trust issues at work. nt

[Blue_true]

74. But they also face the issue of getting in a tough spot, calling for backup

and having the bad cops drag their feet. Situations like that is where strong, ethical police leadership is important. Leaders punish and fire people that purposely don’t do the job as they pledged to do it.

[NurseJackie]

32. They're clean shaven because they need the respirators to fit snugly against their skin.

[Ace Rothstein]

39. Could be retired or on furlough.

[NurseJackie]

40. There are many possibilities.

I'm certain that someone will recognize him.

[Ace Rothstein]

43. Yes, many Trump supporters go out of their way to piss people off.

[NurseJackie]

45. That's the truth. It's a mission.

[jcgoldie]

12. seems like Chicago FD

https://www.amazon.com/Chicago-Fire-Department-Navy-Cuffed/dp/B00JKMOC4O

[Chemisse]

13. It could be the FD of any town or city that starts with a 'C'. n/t

[Jersey Devil]

14. Chicago Fire Department

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Chicago-Fire-Department-Hat-White-Block-Letter-Beanie-Navy-12-/302632468560

[MyOwnPeace]

18. I'm wondering how much help DU people will be......

I'd like to think that most of us here have long disassociated ourselves with people that would do that kind of thing or would want to be a part of any event like that.
But then again, it could be somebody we work with or, perish the thought, somebody we're related to.
Here's hoping they find him and that justice is swift and true.....

[Johnny2X2X]

21. Most of us have friends/neighbors/family who are Trumpsters

I'm actually looking hard for a couple faces in those pictures, hoping not to see them.

[Deuxcents]

19. Somebody knows this POS

Won’t be long, now.

[BrightKnight]

22. Etsy sells the EXACT hat for Chicago Fire Department but it is not the actual CFD logo.

I did not find any other hat like that with Google.

I have not lived in Chicago for many years and do not know or remember if it is common.


https://www.etsy.com/listing/670945600/chicago-fire-department-navy-cfd-cuffed?gpla=1&gao=1&&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=shopping_us_ts1-d-accessories-hats_and_caps-winter_hats-skull_caps_and_beanies&utm_custom1=_k_CjwKCAiAi_D_BRApEiwASslbJxVCkrzFifjNfqyVH2cDwIZKrdjAHuUhmV8llRM_rBpt2G4bAwIgyxoC7c0QAvD_BwE_k_&utm_content=go_1843970137_69629562157_346363393104_aud-966866686534:pla-317444424428_c__670945600_131694499&utm_custom2=1843970137&gclid=CjwKCAiAi_D_BRApEiwASslbJxVCkrzFifjNfqyVH2cDwIZKrdjAHuUhmV8llRM_rBpt2G4bAwIgyxoC7c0QAvD_BwE

[Blue_true]

47. His face was pretty clear in the photo. Won't take long now, even if he shaves.

People like him are asshole dads, asshole relatives or asshole neighbors. There likely is someone in his family or neighborhood that has already called the FBI.

[Hav]

24. There is too much focus on the hat

That should only be an additional clue, for instance, if there are tagged photos of him with the same cap on social media. You can get caps with FBI or Airforce on them in any shop.

[BrightKnight]

37. IDK, appears to be kind of unusual. Exact match for Etsy, not the CFD logo, and the only one

I found on line. If I were the FBI I would wand a customer list from the Etsy vendor. Etsy Sells it as Chicago Fire Department but that is the only connection. I think most people wanting a CFD hat would get the real logo. There are far more of those on line.

[Blue_true]

49. His face was really clear in that picture. The cap was just icing on the cake.

My guess is tv news organizations in any city or town that starts with a “C” had his picture up on news hours ago and will keep displaying it until he is arrested or is found dead. He is in for a lot of jail time, likely life.

[lunasun]

27. Anyone can buy the hat but a fireman would sure know how heavy a building's fire extinguisher is

[Blue_true]

51. A Fireman would know something like that can kill a person if the person is hit in the head

with it. He had better not be a Fireman, because then charges are going to be more severe and any defense he would try will be useless.

[Squidly]

28. I dont think he is an active member of the Chicago Fire Dept.

According to their website, goatees are not permitted. Hes either a retired member, a wannabee or the C isnt for Chicago.

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

33. He may have stolen the hat from a homeless person. He could be from anywhere.

More than likely he's changed his appearance by now.

Best hope is someone who knows him will turn him in.

[BrightKnight]

34. I'm guessing someone that killed a cop like that has a mug shot somewhere.

I doubt that he would suddenly start making decisions like that at his age.

[Chainfire]

38. It is just a matter of time before someone calls him in.

Thanks to Trump, he could face a firing squad!

The need to put out a touched-up photo with the beard gone, you can bet he has shaved.

[Blue_true]

41. That my friends, is the face of a person who is screwed.

My guess, if he hasn’t already been identified, he won’t make 16 more hours not being so.

[dware]

48. As Denzel Washington said to Snoop Dogg,

"Oh, you're federally fucked"

[Blue_true]

53. I have had only passing exposure to fire extinguishers.

But even I know that hitting someone in the head with one is not a thing to do.

[dware]

54. Yep.

I think within a day or two, someone is going to drop a dime on this murdering terrorist and the FBI/US Marshal's Office show up on his door step with a federal arrest warrant for, among other felonies, federal murder.

[Blue_true]

59. When I first saw the picture of the guy, it reminded me of the loud, arrogant, selfish

people that I have met in my life. The guess here, admittedly uneducated other than for life experience, is someone who knows that guy and despise him have already turned him in, and now the FBI is just crossing the “t”s and dotting the “i”s before showing up with a SWAT team to get him.

[dware]

62. And when the do capture him.

I hope the FBI perk walks him in front of the world.

[DeminPennswoods]

42. I believe a couple people from Naiperville, IL

are among the arrested. That's outside Chicago, could be from there, if the hat is supposed to be a "Chicago" one.

[Iggo]

44. I used to wear a Harley Davidson hat. I've never ridden a motorcycle in my life.

Just sayin’.

[Dem2]

52. I chuckled

Unfortunately, this thread shows that once again, people get an impulse to respond without imagining that every other person who responded previously had the same thought.

[Blue_true]

56. His face was clear. The cap was irrelevant information, other than the FBI may have guessed

that someone who knows him has seen him wearing it likely many times.

When I first looked at the guy’s picture, he reminded me of the loud, arrogant assholes that I have dealt with in life, that feeling was instantaneous. My guess is that guy has rubbed a lot of people that know him the wrong way and those people likely tripped over themselves to be the first to turn him in to the FBI. My guess is you read about him being arrested in the next few hours, or being found dead from self inflicted injury.

[Iggo]

63. Yup. Ex-wife got the Air Force guy.

It’s the people that know him that’s gonna get him. Not a bunch of us be-on-the-lookout motherfuckers.

[Blue_true]

64. Totally agree. nt

[Buckeye_Democrat]

61. Someone will recognize his raindrop face eventually.

Wide at the bottom, sloping to to a point at his head.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

65. What the heck is the thick-looking collar around his neck?

It looks thicker than any shirt or coat collar to me.
Was he wearing body armor?

Like the guy in this image?

[Iggo]

70. Looks like one of them big warm Pendleton things the guys out in the warehouse wear.

I think that’s a hood.

[dclarston13]

66. Chesapeake Fire Dept

Has ball caps with a similar logo, but not on caps like that, that I can find.

[ffr]

71. I always get murder and homocide mixed up. I suppose when he's found, he can clarify it for me.

[ffr]

72. CFD for sale online shows this.

Chicago Fire Department, just like you thought.
