Thousands of people are expected on Monday to line the streets of a small Illinois community to pay their last respects to police officer Charles Joseph Gliniewicz, who was shot last week while pursuing three suspects still on the loose.
An 18-mile procession beginning after Gliniewicz's funeral will wind its way from Fox Lake, about 60 miles (97 km) northwest of Chicago, through Lake County. The procession will end at Hillside East Cemetery in Antioch, where Gliniewicz will be buried.

They may be in a foreign country by now. Wisconsin is just a few miles away and that border is unsecured. They might take shelter at the U. of Wisconsin in Madison a sanctuary enclave if there ever was one.
Could very well be, it is also rare for the officer to be stripped of equipment.
Many have said why don’t officers ride two to a car to prevent these thing from happening? Two to a car, ten to a car, there is no guarantee on these things. Four CHP officers were killed by two gunmen on a suspicious vehicle stop known as the Newhall shooting.
The Unites States probably cannot afford to have two officers in every car as either it would be prohibitively expensive or would drain resources away from areas to be patrolled.
If this were a random shooting that resulted from the victim bursting in on a crime in progress, there would be signs of a panicked exit with random pieces of evidence left around the crime scene. Instead, it seems to be perfectly devoid of evidence, possibly including shell casings, meaning a remarkably quick and careful cleanup or that the assassins deliberately used a revolver, a handgun that does not automatically eject spent cartridges. Even the mixed race makeup of the hit team suggests an assassination, terrorist groups like BLM being so often composed of radical blacks and whites.
Anything is possible. In my experience, whites and blacks together usually means dope deal, and the Lt. might have interrupted it.
Someone will come in on this. It’s human nature to talk.
An hour ago the radio said, “There were almost 1,000 people at the funeral, some from other states. When officer Goforth died, there were 7,000 inside the church, an over flow crowd and 1,000 near the site of the murder. Today in Ft. Worth 1,000 people showed up for a Support the Blue event in downtown. A few days ago a man stood behind an officer getting gas - he said “I’ll watch your back.” Folks in Tx are taking the men with a badge seriously.
