Post #901

Well, we've fought our battles, won a few fights, lost a few others and made a tiny little difference in the lives of a few hundred people. Many thanks to every single one of the people who have visited over the past 10 months, and a truly heartfelt thanks to those of you who tried to stay on topic.

But we're tired. And old. And tired. And running out of ideas. And tired.

It's been a good run. Hopefully, someone else will step up and fill the gap.

To 4:08 a.m.

Could your daughter be one of the female accomplices of the Ambrose that are trying to take over Mt Greenwood Park? Daddy has NO business confronting the police!!! Also, what is a 15 yr old doing drinking in the park? Drinking age is 21...Sounds like daddy is a bust out....No, I'm not Dangles, but he is trying to get rid of the scum frequenting the park, and the 15 yr old and her daddy sound like part of the problem

Try to do Real Police Wk. said...
Nice arrest P.O. Dangles in 022. You act like a Jagoff to a 15yr old girl in the park because she is drinking and she doesn't give you a hard time. She is on the phone with her dad and you tell her "Hang up you little bitch I don't care who you know." Her father comes to the park, confronts you about the way you talked to his daughter and you lock him up. Were you afraid of receiving a battery you little PUSS? Try and make a real arrest.

Why is it that YOU would get really pissed if someone, THAT WASN'T THERE, critized YOU for how YOU handled a job, but YOU have no problem doing it here?

Why is it that a 15yo drinking in the park OK with you?

The P.O.s comment "I don't care who you know" and the fact that she wouldn't hang up the phone, shows me that she WAS giving him a hard time.

Could it be that the 15 yo, that was drinking, thought that she could do what she wanted 'cause her relatives are the police?

The first thing the father should have done is come up to the park and smack the 15yo instead of confronting the officer.

YOU wouldn't put up with behavior like that from some mutt so why should that officer have to put up with it in Mt Greenwood?

Dealing with alot of these kids in Beverly/Mt Greenwood is a pain because they think they talk back to the police 'cause their family works for the city. It's about time someone puts them in their place!!

Poster 04:08:17 must be one of those police that sits in his car and watches crime happen in front of him and says, "That's bullshit if I'm going to get involved." or he is one of those almighty 1-rock chasers where no other arrest matters or isn't a "Real" arrest. I don't know Dingles or never seen him but it looks like he is trying to protect or clean up his neighborhood. The 15 year old probably had it comming to her with the way teenagers act towards the police now-a-days.

It sounds like the P.O. did what he had to do with a minor offense and will now get a CR for it. Thats the police, thats what we do. No matter the offense handle it accordingly, now I'm sure there will be a beef.

I was told the same thing about Ambrose or the SDs coming into the park. One of the little angels there was Ligue (of the running on White Sox field and beating a coach Ligue's). He had a papers where he had written how the Ambrose were going to "run" Mt. Greenwood Pk. Apparently that has to be nipped in the bud. "Nip it in the Bud Andy, Nip it in the Bud!'(Don Knotts RIP)

Kidding aside, I dont work in 022, but I have worked with 2211 on things in the past. In my opinion they do a damn good job. We all complain that we want cops to patrol in our neighborhood. We have a car that does just that on afternoons. Now someone wants to complain about a cop having to deal with a minor drinking in a park. How many times do you think those kids were givien warnings?

There were mobs of kids roaming the neighborhood last night due to the nice weather. We all know that you can only give so many warnings, and those cops did what they thought was appropiate.

If the anonymous poster wants to throw out he pussy comment, look in the mirror. Posting a cops name on the World wide web is a pussy move. You obviously dont have the backbone to talk to him yourself.

All the above post supporting P.O. Dangles could not be more right on the mark. I have met him a couple of times and also have seen him at work in the park. He will give a kid a pass who deserves it. Post 0408 is part of the problem at Mt Greenwood park. Some of the parents there think that because they are the Police, fire, city worker that their kid should get a pass. Then these kids have attitudes. I was not there but I know the girl probably would not have been locked up if she kept her mouth shut. Some of those kids at the park are not even from the neighborhood. They are from Oak Lawn, alsip, Evergreen. Last summer the park was getting out of control. If it starts up again I hope Dangles locks up more kids. As for 0408 if you have a problem don't post it, call Dangles, you know where he works. Your title reads "try to do real Police wk". It should read "I am a coward and need to grow a pair"

It's the same bullshit in 016 too. The coppers kid acts like a first class asshole -worse attitude then shitbirds in the ghetto and you still look like the asshole copper from 016/022 no matter what you do (even if you bring them home). It's easy to lock up every shithead in the ghetto, but try in 016 and 022 that infamous line always starts with, "My mommy/daddy works in/is a ... and deal with these shitty attitudes on a daily basis.

What was the little girl doing in the park drinking? Why did she even try to make a phone call without first asking the officer. Why wasn't daddy pissed at her for getting pinched?

Your kid goes into the park and gets caught drinking, they get pinched. If my kid was caught, I'd be contrite and ask for a play, but no way in hell would I give any shit to the on duty police.

4:08, you talk like an asshole. Just because we're the police doesn't mean our kids can do no wrong. When I was a kid, had I been caught in the park, my old man would have kicked my ass then let the police kick my ass too!

And you're an asshole for posting the officers name. Go fuck yourself!

Good job Dangles, and if you catch my kid in the park drinking, kick his ass! You have my blessing.

I wish Dangles was up here on 1631's beat.... We have been dealing with the complacancy (SP?) for to long...The kids with the attitude are rampant up here... Strike one - bring you home
Strike two - station and parents have to wake up to get you.
Strike three - YOU LOSE (ANOV or Arrest whichever is more appropriate)...

I remember a day when parents considered their kids guilty until proven innocent if the police had to make contact with them. Even if they "weren't doing anything wrong" guilt by association was the norm, and rightfully so.

I would be getting locked up if my kid copped an attitude with the police, because his/her ass would be getting launched all over the park...

Spring is here, everybody starts with a clean slate. Warn appropriately then let the pitch count start.... KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK Dangles and unfortunately we need more to step up to the plate (Especially PARENTS)

Bob Dangles is the only one of the few who works on Beat 2211, were whitey commits all the crime. Dont slam Dangles for doing his job and treating all citizens fairly, my beef is with all the merit sergeants in 022, and the no balls
brass that work there.All they do if f/over other coppers, just ask Sgt. Boone and a few others. Dangles responds and tries to enforce the law, the merit sergeants are a disgrace I called 911, and was told I would get the police when a car was available. (female screaming in the park) I asked for an assist as a off duty po and was told back log in 022. My wife called the 7/11 in Merrionette Park and made contact with beat 2252 who responded with out being dispatched. I called for a supervisor and was told to not complain.///Thanks Merit Dawn, Merit O'Neal, patronage hacks who couldnt clean toilets let alone give the tax payers the service the minority community gets in this city. To the bastard(Mr. Masterbater) that wrote the original post, identify yourself you pussy, you probably slam 022, Area 2, the School and Youth Division Units because you are a coward. Look at all the over doses on beat 2211/2212, and the drug related deaths, before you critize a man for doing his job. That little bitch in the park is the person who will give drugs and liquor to my kids one day. The drunk former Tac Lt.allowed all the taverns to serve the under age white kids because the taverns are not in the doc and he drank for free. How many were killed in fatal accidnets? (2) They could have been our kids. How about the 009th District coppers son, the two sixer the boys in 022 locked up recruiting the white kids with reefer and boooze at Mt. Greenwood Park. How about the coppers kids that brutally attacked the two men and two women at Queen of Martyrs. The one man will never work again. Plate in his upper jaw lower @skull. Some one needs to police these little bastards since their police momies and daddys dont, because mommy and daddy work the desk in 009. Wow I am impressed.

Police Service starts and ends in the neighborhoods we live in. Why serve the donkeys protect the homefront and the middle class in this city screw the mutants, you cannot take the jungle out of the animal look at the generations of CHA species, and the mutts who wish to honor a cop hater/killer on the west side. I only give police service when I determine the man or woman is gainfully employed and a contributing member of society.

I am going to send Dangles a gift certificate for dinner at one of the restaurants for doing his job, it aint allways men with guns and dope that mean anything to you
boys. I live by this park and I should not have to bring my gun their at nite when I walk my dog after working 4 x12s. The residents of 22, and 16 are going to always be short changed until we police the enemy living amoung us.

I'm sticking up for this p/o dangles! good job. one of the few working cops. a 15 year old girl drinking...then what...a 15 year old PREGNANT GIRL...and then the cycle continues. IGNORANCE is no excuse, maybe my tax dollars are finally going to a cop who works instead of taking 20 minutes to responding to a call. and don't think for a minute it ain't true. good job p/o dangles, i've already made you the compliment letter and phone call.

I know Dangles. He does his job and does it very well. All three of the coppers on that beat car do an excellent job of policing 022. If you cant control your offspring, then move the f#ck out of my neighborhood! If you dont like the police controlling your offspring.....you know the rest you coward.

Shame on the uncle then too...not your kid, none of your business period...However, because he initiated it.....You're DEAD WRONG and you should be slapped for even thinking about taking a drunk teens word over the on-duty...

I again thank the officer for doing what alot would hesitate to do...I'm not saying iron fist rules, but after numerous warnings, something needs to get their attention...

I worked with the P.O in question a few years back in 004. Stand up guy! I wish we had about 4 more like him in 022! There are some great cops in 022, however, there are some dogs. If some kid was an asshole to you (cops kid or not), what would you do? Then Mommy/Daddy are going to come and make everything ok for their precious lil' kid who could never do anything like that (I'm surprised the next words out of the parents mouth aren’t "(s)he was going to quit the gang next week") . If I got my ass kicked by the police as a kid, my pops would ask what happened, then kick the shit out of me again! You would be surprised how many of these little jag-offs hide behind dad's or mom's star. And if the PO on said beat is reading this: THANKS! I owe you a few beers (and if I remember correctly, only good imports!)

Living in 016 I can appreciate what P.O. Dangles did. Here in 016 as in 022 every little ASSHAT is someone's kid "My dad, moomy,uncle, auntie,etc,ect" It is very nerve racking to try and do the right thing with these kids. You try to give them a play but they mistake your kindness for a weakness. My Dad was on the job for 32 years and growing up here in 016 I never ever thought of even talking back to a copper when we got caught in the park. Why because I knew that they and eventually my Dad would kick my ASS! And why is it that these kids parents think that their children are little angels? If little johnny or suzy is caught doing something wrong then they should be punished. Maybe dragg the little ASSHATS in to what ever dist you may work in and just have mommy/daddy come and get their little precious bundle of joy! Stay safe everyone! Oh yeah and to the jagbag that critized Dangle, you sir are an....ASSSHAT!
