Here Comes the Complaining
Here's the Sun Times story on the massive police presence in Englewood. SOS, TRU, Closed Market, Area Gang Teams, District Gang/Tact Teams and more are all flooding the 007th District. And here's Channel 7's take on the whole thing:
Teenagers we met Friday afternoon say they keep moving and don't loiter on Englewood streets during the police crackdown.
"When they grab you, they going to talk all types of ways," said one.
For years, many Englewood homeowners have demanded an increased police presence in the neighborhood. But 64-year-old Richard Dunn is having second thoughts after an encounter he says he had with a policeman last week.
"He stuck a gun up my nose," Dunn said.
One wonders how long Channel 7 had to hang around to find the one 64 year old citizen who had something bad to say about the police. But not to worry:
- Dunn says he did not file a complaint with the Chicago Police Department following the alleged incident.
Because maybe it was bullshit? Say what you will about the Department, but just about everyone being deployed to 007 knows that they are under a microscope. No one with an ounce of sense is going to be sticking a gun in a 64 year old man nose.

Farrell is the BEST!!!
Quit whining you bitches.
Your all gonna by dead at 60 because of this 6 day work schedule.
Take a deep breath and thank the city and your bosses for killing you early.
Dont fret about the job, take care of your widow.
Word is that ine of these dancers will expose their real secret. The dancer only known by his stage name of Dillinger Long Dong will show it all. Just like the 1930's gangster John Dillinger and John Holmes the late porn star, this officer will put many of men to shame with his long barrel weapon!
I didn't believe that bullshit for a second. Maybe if the investigative I-team unit for channel 7 had gone a few blocks off the hot corners of engelweird with their cameras, they would have caught some good footage of actual drug-dealing and gang banging going on? Maybe even captured a shooting or something?
Get off the denial "BS" anyone who have every worked in 007,011,002,003,015 and some other districts KNOW that they can get away with a whole lot more questionable behavior then they could in other districts....so to think that to drop a sleuth of coppers from all over the city and various units and not have a knuckle head in the bunch is a stretch
8:17 Larn yer enlish, or iwnt reed ur coment!
6:24....have another drink.....or at least get a fucking spellcheck....dickmunch
Did you guys in 025 welcome back FTO Bob from his long stay on the medical? I hope you guys get some new female PPO's for his pleasure. That wandering eye cost him a wife and girlfriend in the past.
8:17...HOLY FUCK....another illeterate motherfucker......must be 6:24 in disguise....or we need to start the 4 year college requirement shit.....have another drink dickmunch....
Any "New" Sgt. fuckup stories yet??? Any good or bad Sgt. stories....have any of them been good guys so far or have any been jagoffs?? Please do tell....
"No one with an ounce of sense"
Unfortunately we have alot of Police Officers, that can be placed in that category,I would not be surprise at what some of these self proclaim heros are trying to pull off in Englewood
Not to get off the "already off the topic" here......but fuck the media!! The day any one of them walks in the shoes of a Chicago Police Officer working either in 007 with the shit going on there, or in 011, or 015, etc......then let them write or talk about what's going on!
I don't think anyone who MAKES it to 64 in Englewood would even be bothered by the po-lice. He probably mistook it for his own finger.
We have always been, and will eternally be, the source of scorn, admiration, fear, hatred and gratitude from the public. You don't do this job because of public opinion, you do it despite public opinion.
Nobody knows us but us, and WE don't even know us!
DUMBASS MEDIA RATS
Give me a break. I'm a civilian and have seen some unique gene pool in Englewood.
A few weeks ago I took a CTA bus accidentally heading south on Halsted (when I wanted to go North).
Aside from the fact the area looked like a bomb hit it, strange, strange people on that bus route. Plenty flying higher than a kite.
God bless anyone working in that area.
And the news should be writing the real story. I could have written a better and real (unbiased) story. That's what real journalism is all about. Taking a look at the problem and reporting the real deal. Not randomly selecting a party to put the blame on.
There is enough police presence out there!! Even I know that.
The problem is this: aside from the people needing to get off of crack, etc. the people who live there need to take a stand against gangs and other crime related problems by taking action.
There are plenty of anonymous telephone numbers or other ways to contact the police in order to get rid of the problem in your neighborhood. The police cannot do everything.
Besides, I do see the police were just in there busting about 108 people in drug related gang activity.
Stop the bitching and do something to help the police in order to clean up your neighborhood.
Congrats John Mathews on being promoted to commander. good guy.

Come on SCC.....Let's see how the new leaders are doing......
Dear Citizens reading this blog.......over HALF of your police department does not work in patrol. Because this is the City of Chicago they need to hide all their favorite sons and daughter in "special places". Yes, that's right, there are literally thousands of police officers on the payroll that don't have to do the job that they signed up for! This department has more armed clerks than it does police officers. So when you feel that their are not enough police in your neighborhood, fell happy inside that the building on 35th. has a multitude of men and women that put in 5-6 hour days. Also this department is so top heavy with high paid command staff get over paid that you would be astounded. Investigate that my fine citizens.
This department has more armed clerks than it does police officers.
WHAT'S AN ARMED CLERK?
Armed Clerk?
Figure it out. By the way, we now have your results from your Stanford-Benet IQ test.
I'm sorry. You scored below eighty. A room temperature score means...oh, how can I say this?
MORON
How about marching in the St. Judes parade in sweat suits. We could bring along some boom boxes. Have a real party.
how about this,last night a out door roll call was held in the 016 district on 1634 beat due to two people being shot within a eight hour period on that beat. T.R.U.,S.O.S.,mission teams,and yes even those famous A2 Gun Team get ready to come and play in 016.
Armed clerks....where is Pam Zekman...there are 20-something armed clerks handing out radios.
What happened to the civilian clerks that used to do that and a whole bunch of other mickey mouse jobs at less cost to the taxpayers.
Yes, and please do clean up this column.
Armed clerks....I think that if the public saw the actual numbers, i.e., how many police actually work the street, compared to how many work inside/admin spots (real numbers, no b.s.), they would be shocked....
Sergeants Test-Part 1. 114 multiple choice questions with only three choices. Not one question regarding sergeant responsibilties at a police shooting, or other critcal incidents. And we know why. Few from traditional under-performing groups, read black and Hispanic-will not be able to get above seventy-percent right, even on the most ridiculously easy test. Sorry, its not my fault you lack aptitude. But the idiot from Bridgeport has devised an equalizer known as meritorious promotion. So now you're a Chicago Police Sergeant, or Lieutenant, or Captain. Outside of the city people don't need to see chevrons or bars to see exactly what you really are.
DON'T REALLY NEED THE RESPONSIBILITIES AT A POLICE SHOOTING...DOESN'T HAPPEN THAT OFTEN...NEED MORE QUESTIONS ON HOW TO GET PO'S TO COME OFF THE JOBS THEY ARE SITTING ON FOR AN HOUR (WHEN IT SHOULD TAKE 10 MINUTES MAX)AND GETTING THE DOGS HANGING OUT AT THE STATION WATCHING TV AND BS-ING AT THE DESK BACK ON THE STREET...!!
OK BOB!
Hey to you all
Please stay safe, and you all appear to be in unique rare form today, good for you!
The problem, in a nutshell City Hall, and 35th Michigan. Along with their minions. That is whose responsible for the breakdown.
News flash question, response, c & d, d because foot fetish might be involved. That's how the promotions go.
Waaaaaaa Im smarter than everyone else, My Mommie and Daddy told me so. Waaaaaa Im better than everyone else. The Hispanics and Blacks get all the merit spots. Waaaaaa Waaaaaa Im so smart - Take your Business Degree and go to a job where everything is fair and every job is given to those that are deserving instead of who they know. Hey Dorthy! When you get to Kansas you will see it is the same all over. Pay a little more attention to the promotion lists and transfer order listings. Those with fair skin still control the lions share of the wealth. I know, Waaaaaaaa Waaaaaaaa Waaaaaaa
What else would you expect from the media. They are overwhelmingly liberal, just another branch of the democratic party. The police,on the whole, are a conservative lot , the press just naturally hates us. Just remember that the media doesn't report the news anymore, they try to create it because they want to change the world to fit their liberal agenda. Do you ever notice any positive stories about the war on terror from the mainstream media? Notice the decline in newspaper sales and the death spiral of the big three news networks . The people have grown tired of being force-fed the liberal's view. The internet has knocked out the mainstream media, lets hope it can drive a stake through its heartbefore Hillary gets her hands on it.
No where else in the 1st world do they run an organization like the Chicago police Dept except the mafia. The City of Chicago and the police department are run like a third world bannana republic. Waaaaaa! I don't like people complaining about the monkeys that run the city of Chicago.
Nothing that a few hundred federal indictments can't help clean up though. And I hear em coming.
A Chicago man dies and goes to hell.
When he gets there, the devil comes over to welcome him. The devil then says "sometimes it gets pretty uncomfortable down here."
The man says, "No problem. I'm from Chicago."
So the devil goes over to the thermostat, turns the temperature up to 100, and the humidity up to 80. He then goes back to the Chicago man to see how he's doing. To the devil's surprise, the man is doing just fine.
"No problem...just like Chicago in June," the man says.
So the devil goes back over to the thermostat, and turns the temperature up to 150, and the humidity up to 90. He then goes back over to see how the Chicago man is doing.
The man is sweating a little, but overall looks comfortable.
"No problem. Just like Chicago in July," the man says.
So now the devil goes over to the thermostat, turns the temperature up to 200, and the humidity up to 100. When he goes back to see how the man is doing, the man is sweating profusely, and has taken his shirt off. Otherwise, he seems OK.
He says, "no problem. Just like Chicago in August."
Now the devil is really perplexed. So he goes back to the thermostat, and turns the temperature down to MINUS 150 DEGREES. Immediately, all the humidity in the air freezes up, and the whole place (meaning Hell) becomes a frigid, barren, frozen, deathly cold wasteland.
When he goes back now to see how the Chicago man is doing, he is shocked to discover the man is jumping up and down, and cheering in obvious delight. The devil immediately asks the man what's going on.
To which the Chicago man replies.....
"THE CUBS WON THE WORLD SERIES!!!"
"THE CUBS WON THE WORLD SERIES!!!"
Close call and good work in 010 last nite. Rapid car is right around the corner from shots fired. Turn the corner and the offenders are fleeing in a car the opposite direction. As they pass the squad they fire several shots at the police missing them.Bad guys then crash, foot chase results in 2 arrests and they recover a weapon and VEST. Return to the scene and find a guy DOA on the sidewalk--shot at least 10 times.Great job 010 !!!!
Best Joke Read On SCC
Why do gay guys like to make love doggie style?
So they can both watch the Cubs while making bootie love!
(Or the Area Two Gun Team Swish By)
Mismanagement is just that mismanaged. Whether it is for the money, or due to ignorance. As to the race card WAAAAAA, all take a piece of the pie. Profit is profit our baseless busted out dollar is green for what it's worth and currently were still allowed to play with like it's the real thing.
One does not have to have a business degree to have common sense.
::getting out the broom again::
SCC have a little sense of humor. I am laughing my butt off. This is toooooooooo funny.

broom, my a$$
you need the damn DIRT DEVIL HI-VAC
ROTFLMAO
Get the union to change the work schedule, get the city to change the work schedule, city preferred you rotating every 28 days. At least we were connecting back then, because we saw miserable written all over all our sorry faces.
Watch parties back then kept us connected. The city was forced to knock that out of the cycle. City wants you to beg for anything you think would make your working conditions better! In other words that don't give a flying F#%K about any of us. Good luck!
SCC
I was raised in Flag raising Republican home. My mother's dying words were. They are using the constitution against us. She had a point there, but she also thought Nixon was framed, what do you think.
From someone who can think left and right.
I am smiling also, mean no harm. SCC debate is good for the mind, your blog says so. Or am I wrong you don't want me think right all of the time, I'm left handed what do you expect.
Even when you beg and get your way, the city takes it away from you. I worked the 10th watch (10 hours) all last year. Every one in my district that was on that watch LOVED it! You cannot beat the four day weekends. I would work two side jobs and still have two full days to relax and spend with friends and family. I guess moral was getting to high because they took that away from us as soon as they got the chance. Unbelievable.

Welcome to north Englewood.
That is the point, who ever is advising the city is an idiot of purpose, for some reason they prefer that mindset; screw the officer's. My theory city loves to keep throwing curve balls by changing line up. We stay confused and they do their bidding of control. It's a mind game, they are good at it.
What we set into place yrs. ago being union. Collectively, we have to get tight. We are not aligned the city knows this, they set the game plan and rules. We have alot of division among us, why?
3/25/2006 04:51:52 PM
North Englewood my ass. Nothing compares to Englewood. I give it to the guys in 10,11, and 015 they got their work cut out for them. But nothing is Englewood. What just because 016 got a couple section 8 housing? The whole east end of 022 is ghetto, but it still doesn't compare to the Wood.
GENTRIFICATION, continual changing format who knows where the shit will jump off now.
The City took away the 10 hour day because it was working too well. Both sides had the option of discontinuing the program after the trial period. The City saw people liked it, so they took it away as a bargaining tool for the next contract. What will we be willing to give up to get the 10 hour day back?
SCC that is a good point, we know the city has been after the medical days for years. This issue regarding medical was won through arbitration. I understand there was a lawsuit originally, have not been able to find it are you familiar with it?
We also know about the city and their merit or management percentage. if their numbers run point anything they get to round up. This gives them an added percentage point. Yet the city still wants more.
Actually, by contract, they round DOWN
No, trust this they get to round up. This was given to the city with Shelia Burke on signature.
You do not get what they claim before mgmt. picks. Are we talking about bids, etc. If so it is round up. Thus city gains an extra head.
LAPD has three 12 hour days... That rocks!
YEAH, and citizens are not happy with them either. Chicago has no excuse, what a town we have.
There are areements that do not get written into the contract. They are give aways. Some call that Back Door dealings.
A Priest, a Rabbi, and a Black Minister took the Sgt's test. The Priest says; "I know i'll make it with the Lords Help". The Rabbi says; "How much it gonna cost me Abe, maybe we trade some gold or silver for them stripes". The Black Minister says; Yo, Stroger Man, you got my vote, you had my sister, and now I gotta eat Mary Mitchells pussy? Forget about it, put me on a car with Seiser!
ah. I thought you were talking about promotions, in which case they have to round down. If they promote 100 people, they get 30 (sgts). If they promote 101, 102, or 103, they still only get 30 spots. They have to go up to 104 to get the extra pick.
Bids are something else entirely
Ahhh thanks, glad I clarified.
NO ST. JUDE ! RALLY FOR THE FAMILIES
honor the fallen with a rally!!!!
how can we honor the dead when the brass ARE NOT HONORING THEM.
Cline gets more face time for his memorial when one of us dies. But he wont stand up for those already killed.
Sorry I understand your arguement and i disagree I wont be going to St. Jude. I will no Longer contribute to the CPD memorial.
It might be wrong, but i can continue to let me (us) from being USED !
sos and tru will not be going to 016, rest assured, and yes engelwood is a shit hole!
To the 3/25/2006 08:18:52 PM Poster -
It's because the CPD Memorial does not want to get involved in the politics.
Which, if you have a police memorial and someone told me that they intend to not only have this memorial, but want to use it for the disabled po's, as well as prevention.
Then, how you can you not get involved in this matter?
Maybe someone is afraid of losing donations if they get involved.
As far as I'm concerned, the police memorial is about more than just names and a wall...
The Chicago Police Memorial Foundation is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to honoring the lives and memories of our fallen heroes. The Foundation provides support and assistance to the families of Chicago Police Officers who sacrificed their lives.
Established in 2004, the Foundation -------->strengthens the relationship between the Chicago Police, its business and civic leaders, and its citizenry. It allows us to express our gratitude to the fallen Officers families for the ultimate sacrifice of their loved one.<-----
More then 460 Chicago Police Officers have given their lives to protect the people of Chicago. These brave men and women were more than just Police Officers. They were parents, spouses, and children. They were your neighbors, your friends, and your protectors, and each served with loyalty to this city and to you, its citizens. Each one of them went to work on their fateful day knowing the risks that came when they decided to dedicate their life to protect all of us.
* Where is the CPD Memorial now? *
HEY !!!! 8:18
you are an idiot !!!!!!, You mmust not be the police because you don't get it. It's all about honoring our brothers and sisters .
HEY! How about this, Go to St. Jude Parade but get sick on July 3-4.
Maybe have a tummy ache?
Screw the citys fireworks display.
Back to school parade, I think not, better go back to your Doctor, you may be having a relapse of that July stomach flu.
I think 2006 will see a lot of BLUE FLU.
Special Events coming up, I don't feel so good boss.
Let them send a medical check on you as often as they want.
By our contract, you still get medical days off.
And as long as you follow the procedure and call your unit when you leave your home, you can go to the drug store, your doctor, a medical facility of your choosing, and you can go to the store to buy food and or go to a restaurant to eat your meals if you prefer not to cook your own.
You are not a prisoner of your home if you are on the medical, but you must call in and tell them when you leave.
Our union leaders cannot tell you to do this. We have no strike options.
But look out for that bird flu, who knows what effects it may have on your system.
One more thing, let's be safe out there. If your car, computer, radio, etc. is not right, don't use it. Don't work alone at night, they cannot force you to work alone, it's a safety issue.
We did these things in the '70's and we can do them again if necessary.
Keep your health in mind, because the city and the boss's won't!
Whats the problem with SOS, TRU, Gang Teams, and other specialized units going to 016? Its about time we(taxpayers,contributors to society, upstanding citizens, humans) get the police service we deserve.
God forbid the enemy(the beast, the animal, the ni**er) gets less service.
WE ALL KNOW THEY DESERVE EVERYTHING
I used to sign my name as ALMOST 29 AND A DAY
I just retired. I wish you all happy safe careers.
Its harder than ever to do this job
I take my hat off to you all.
My advise is...
Get you education Make them pay for it
Put as much as you can in in deferrred comp
get an outside interest
March at St Judes every year (which I wasnt always able to do)
Be safe and take care of each other out there
Dont take this stuff too seriously , its 95% bullshit.
Dont forget to give us old retired guys a pass now and then
818
We will miss you, if you change your mind you know how to find us.
Stay Safe.
THIS IS FOR POST 1:21:12PM
YES THERE WERE 2 SHOOTINGS IN GODSCOUNTRY (016) BUT IT IS NO NORTH ENGLEWOOD. YES WE ARE DEPLETED OF MANPOWER, BUT WE HANDLE IT. MOST IF NOT ALL DISTRICTS ARE DEPLETED OF MANPOWER. THERE WERE 2 BULLSHIT SHOOTINGS AND A BULLSHIT OUTDOOR ROLLCALL ( WHICH IS JUSTIFICATION FOR AN INSIDE SPOT AT THE D.O.C )
SO SOME LAME ASS CAN COUNT THE OUTDOOR ROLLCALLS AND REPORT TO THE D.O.C. THE NUMBER OF OUTDOOR ROLL CALLS THAT WERE CONDUCTED.
THE SHOOTING WERE SPILL OVER FROM 025 GANG BANG BULSHIT.
Armed Clerks
What happened to the days, when you rotated on the desk, every blue moon, did the A&A's, made up the assignment sheets, answered phones, covered the traffic transmittals, a few reports and in between that you handed out the radio's with cars. You couldn't wait to get back out and roll.
Civilians are classified by title and grade. Don't think radio assignment is listed in their contracts. More responsibilties mean higher grad, higher grade means city has to pay more and they will not, on & on.
8:17 deny THIS !!!!
To 29 and a day, congrats and enjoy retirement and if you leave this city, cograts again be safe and enjoy.
Hey, i'd be all for going to 016 once in awhile but it isn't going to happen, period. You would need many more gang related shootings, homicides actually, before they would even CONSIDER sending tru or sos in there and even if they did the people in 016 would start all the sos tru related crap, it's been real busy in alot of other districts we could be going to but we are destined to rot in 007 for quite some time, what a shithole...
we all know the "doony osmand look alike who made sgt and went to 004 is a clout baby who tells al gals out at night hes divorced
Didn.t Charles Thomas also interview Willie"Wheelchair" Lloyd recently and talk about how he turned his life around etc, made Willie look like a Saint
Well, you TRU people like to work in a unit that looks prestigious and makes you feel important, so there you are, stuck in the ghetto. At least you get to gather in groups of 20+ and enjoy your two hour lunches at Portillos in Summit 2 or 3 times a week.
TRU looks prestigious?? Maybe to the wonders on the job.
Dork Patrol is more like it!
WHAT ABOUT SGT BAGS IN THE 008TH DISTRICT TACT TEAM THAT PUT DRUGS ON PEOPLE TO SHOW THAT HE'S A BIG MAN WITH A VERY LITTLE DICK.
Yes, your right Capt. Farrell is the best along with Capt. Kenny. We (working Po-Po) need good bosses like them. They are unselfish, worrying about the Po-Po. Now when the area four gang Lt. gets promoted, watch out. He is all about patting himself on the back surpirsed that his arm is not broken....and his little mouse (PJ) that's in his front pocket. He's anotherone. WE NEED GOOD BOSSES !!!! HELP
Rumor has it that a former Tru-Unit Supervisor was assigned to be head of the marine unit because of all his experience in the Greek Isles (on Halsted of course).
