(The Center Square) – Hundreds of law enforcement officers from across the country gathered in Chicago to honor a fallen police officer as renewed criticism grows over Illinois’ no-cash-bail policies and the release of repeat violent offenders following the officer’s death. Officer John Bartholomew, 38, was killed April 25 after authorities say 26-year-old Alphanso Talley — a repeat offender who was on electronic monitoring after prosecutors sought to keep him detained — opened fire inside Endeavor Health Swedish Hospital while fleeing police. Another Chicago police officer was critically wounded during the shooting. Illinois State Rep. Patrick Sheehan blamed a combination of no-cash-bail policies, judicial decisions and what he called a “broken” SAFE-T Act for allowing violent offenders back onto the streets. “This offender had plenty of chances and was given sweetheart deal after sweetheart deal,” Sheehan said. “Now Officer Bartholomew is dead, and another Chicago police officer is fighting for his life.” Sheehan also questioned whether judges who release violent offenders should face greater public accountability when those offenders commit additional crimes. “I think there maybe needs to be a reexamination of the type of immunity that judges have,” he said. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has faced criticism from Republican lawmakers and law enforcement advocates following remarks in which he referred to law enforcement as a “sickness that needs to be eradicated,” comments they argue reflect a broader anti-police sentiment in city leadership. Sheehan pointed to those remarks, along with Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s past criticisms of police, as evidence of what he described as damaging rhetoric toward law enforcement during a period of rising concern over violent crime and repeat offenders. Sheehan said the massive turnout reflected the deep connection officers share across departments and state lines. “We are a big blue family,” Sheehan said. “I’ve been a law enforcement officer for nearly two decades, and my heart certainly hurts.” The Republican lawmaker criticized Illinois’ use of electronic monitoring, calling the system “broken” and arguing that violent offenders should remain behind bars instead of being released with ankle monitors. “We are a society that demands law and order,” Sheehan said, adding that Illinois residents “deserve to be safe and not have to worry about repeat offenders shattering their lives.” Throughout the funeral service, speakers remembered Bartholomew as a compassionate officer, husband and father of three who made those around him feel valued. Chicago Police leaders described policing as “his calling,” while fellow officers lined streets and overpasses to salute the fallen officer one final time.
