CHICAGO (CBS) — A Far South Side man accused of shooting at a Chicago Police officer lashed out at a Cook County judge in court Tuesday, saying he should have just “smoked his a ‑ ‑” after being ordered held without bail, the Chicago Sun-Times is reporting.
“Chicago Police shot at me first,” Kentrell Pledger, a reputed Black Disciple gang member, pleaded with Judge Adam Bourgeois Jr.
As sheriff’s deputies led Pledger away, his protests grew louder: “He shot at me first. So get your story straight, dog. And for that, I should have smoked his a ‑ ‑.”
Pledger then told Bourgeois, who is African-American, “You ain’t black, you’re white, b ‑ ‑ ‑ ‑ ‑.”
A picture of Pledger holding the same weapon used in the shooting Monday in the 300 block of West 106th was posted on social media two hours earlier, Assistant State’s Attorney Guy Lisuzzo said.
When Pledger was arrested after officers found him hiding under a nearby porch, he came out with his hands up, according to a police report.
He allegedly continued to tell the police that he left the gun under the porch wrapped in his red T-shirt.
Pledger, 29, also had one more thing to tell the arresting officers according to the police report: "Thank you for not shooting me."

“People who annoy you”
Neighbors?
I’m not going near that.
Hey, it’s not just the ghetto trash. I live in rural East Texas and my son had a large tattoed white dude walk right in on him on our house down the corner. Lucky for him he has a side arm right there. After 1 step in he backed him out with the gun pointed at his chest from about 7 feet away. He too said, “Thanks for not shooting me.”
We don’t call cops around here. Heck we don’t need to 99.999999999% of the time it’s sake but it’s that 1 time you must be ready for.
I wonder what the cop’s donkey did to this guy. And what does smoked donkey taste like anyway? Is it even worth his trouble to fire up the smoker?
