Raise Your Taxes Sir?
- Mayor Daley has signed off on an up-to-the-limit school property tax increase -- totaling $55 million -- for the 10th time in the 12 years since his public school takeover, an influential alderman disclosed Wednesday.
- The $55 million increase will cost Chicago homeowners $11.50 for every $100,000 of assessed valuation
And still, Chicago Schools rank near the bottom of most categories. Has any mentioned to the mayor that throwing money at the problem doesn't seem to be working? Or is he just worried about getting the votes of the Teacher's Union?

Tell Nm Governor Richardson To Pardon Sergeant Billy Andrers
On Dec 18th, 2004 Deputy Robert Hedman and his partner Sgt Billy Anders, both working for the Otero County Sheriff’s Dept in New Mexico, responded to a call of a shooting. When it was over, a violent armed felon/ex convict, Earl Flippen murdered Deputy Robert Hedman and a woman. Sergeant Anders killed Flippen, survived the encounter but is in prison today for killing Flippen.

Since he didn't say it....1ST Beeeeotches!! GO FIGHTING 017!
Daley tax increases are like FOP union dues increases.
I just heard on the radio that the laborers working on the Dan Ryan construction project went on strike started at midnight this morning. SAT IT AINT SO.
"SAY IT AINT SO" not SAT for all you spelling police. It doesn't count if I correct it myself. So there.
Let me get this straight. The dept. is making gang teams work their RDO (every Sat night) in the summer at time +1/2. So your weekend are fucked all summer? TRU, SOS, etc. are working later on Fri/Sat to deal with the shootings. And what are our gang intelligence and narcotics units doing? Well, they are in a straight Fri/Sat day off group. Makes a lot of sense......I guess we only need to gather intelligence and make busts during the weekdays because everyone knows that Fri/Sat nights in the summer are dead anyway...go figure..
Post 6/1/06 9:14 I feel for you, and there is one thing we have to say to you....WHAAAAAAA,WHHHHHAAAAAAAAAA,WHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAA,CRY BABY BITCH. WHAT YOU THINK,POLICE WORK IS ALL CUT AND DRY JUST FOR YOU, YOU F*CKEN PUTZ. SUCK IT UP YOU MORON AND GET OVER IT OR DO YOU NEED MY SIZE 12 BOOT TO BE STUCK RIGHT UP YOUR ASS AND TWISTED TO STRAIGHTEN YOUR ACT UP. YOUR JOB IS TO PROTECT THE CHICAGOANS. IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT YOU MORONIC F*CK, THEN TAKE A HIKE DOWN MEMORY LANE AND DON'T LET THE BIG CHICAGO PLOICE DEPARTMENT DOOR HIT YOU ON THE WAY OUT. PEOPLE LIKE YOU THINKING OF ONLY YOURSELF MAKES ME PUKE. GOOD F*CKEN RIDDANCE.
Did we get overtime today or duty avail.?
Doesn't the city have a specialized Gang Unit...Gang Intelligence? So why would the district teams work they're Day Off?

mY JOB IS TO PROTECT CHICAGOIANS?? IS YOUR BOOT SIZE 12 OR YOUR IQ? I'M NOT THINKING ABOUT MYSELF, I'M THINKING ABOUT MY FAMILY. THIS IS JUST A JOB, LIKE ANY OTHER JOB, AND FAMILY COMES 1ST. IF YOU DON'T AGREE, THEN YOU'RE THE FUCKING MORON.

Because they're RDO on Fri/Sat!!
More OT! YES! Take all you can get! I work all CHA,Tara time +1/2 best part-time job ever!
For all you know it all's most Narcotic teams are in Sun/Mon day off group and will be in the violent zones every weekend.
Several Gang Intel teams in Fri/Sat
If the Dept. would hire more officers they could establish midnight Gang/Tact whatever you want to call them , TEAMS. No need to have a rotating schedule.
The dept. is doing more w/ less, and not a word from FLOP.
All the Gangs/Tact guys got to do is write a TO/FROM stating they no longer volunteer to work tact/gangs and if they are kept on the team its time and a half every fucking tour since its no longer voluntary. BUT, and I say BUT, this has to be a COLLABORATIVE EFFORT, FOR THOSE SOUTHSIDERS THIS MEANS IT HAS TO BE DONE ALL TOGETHER AT THE SAME TIME.
Can you imagine the drones downtown, they wouldnt know what to do. Every tact and Gang tema just up and quits, pay me time and a half and show a little respect for what I do when you sit in a fucking cubicle crunching stats.
Fri/Sat or Sun/Mon what does it matter? What good are these units when they have to do one stupid ass buy/bust a day? Every once in a great while I am sure the super debriefing they do of the arrestee might pan out with some info but when a majority of these idiots (juv) they arrest are just there selling a pack to buy themsleves a new pair of kickers what are these teams actually accomplishing?
Do not get me wrong though, if I had the phone cal I would be there in a minute
Yeah great solution, lets hire more po's so they can create more bullshit gang/tact/unit people......how about hire more po's to be fucking pos on the street in uniform
Wha Wha pay me time and half becasue I am going to quit. You are a crying little baby.
I would like to see you try you little game, the are numerous people right behind you that would jump on you to work on a gang /tact team. Now why they would be doing I do not know but do not think that you would not be replaced in a second while being dumped to midnights.
Gang Intel is a long term investigative unit. If you need an explanation then talk to someone in the unit. I promise that your eyes will be opened to a part of police investigations you never knew could exist in the CPD.

Then quit the gang team you putz. No one forces you to work in any of those assignments you mentioned.
PUFFERFISH F*CK.
No, BJ is the pufferfish. Not me. I resent the fact that I had an opinion and you did not see eye to eye with me. F you, too.

STOP COMPLAINING JUST DO YOUR JOB RIGHT
Det Jaglowski sucks
Yes he is a fool
dont waste money on overtime hire more cops
TRU are doing everything that beat officers and SOS cannot do...We SATURATE your crime ridden districts and catch da badguys for you. We'll take your OT with pleasure, because that's what "REAL POLICE" do. You won't find us whining about OT...We're too busy for that kleenex bs.
TRU is what SWAT wishes it could be..."REAL POLICE"
So, TRU is the shit now huh? Gee, maybe I should have stayed put instead of going to SOS? What a lark! SOS rocks u puss!
Guaranteed-if you don't wish to work those special assignments, somebody in a beat car would gladly take your opportunity without hesitation. Think about it...How many times have you heard a fellow copper say "I wish I was TRU, SOS, Canine, marine unit, SWAT"...Becareful what you wish for...You might just get it!
TRU rocks and y'all know it!!! Hey SOS DUDE who was upset earlier...Join the elite-become TRU and see what the "REAL POLICE" do in the City!
I don't mind getting paid time and half for getting my fri and sat canceled, but somehow I don't see the city paying that. Also I hear when wr on days we get switched to nights on the weekends and sent somewhere yet to be determined. My concern is that the dept. will say you have to now work your fri sat and instead you will be RDO tues/wed, so they can save the money. It also sounds silly that we will be in BDU's driving marked cars. Why not just put us in uniform instead of the silly ninja outfit? I'm also hearing that we will be driving our personal cars to whatever district they send us to, at the last minuet. Sounds like a long commute is possible. I think by now the dept. knows that the tac/gang teams are short all over the city and very few are putting in to-froms to go there. Now it's becomming even less desireable. Hours are constantly being changed, day off's changed, days/nights changing, uniform, and location of tour changing. It's hard to make family related plans with no set schedual. It won't be long before the dept. has a severe shortage with tac/gangs. Many are already considering going back to the watch. I still enjoy it and just hope the dept. doesn't totally destroy it.
I would call tru for help with a one bag weed arrest, that would be all you morons are good for. As far as the overtime, I will work as much as they give me.
lets just work 7 days a week, no rdo's and cancel all our furloughs so we can be in the violence zone. taking away their sat nights is just the beginning your idiots....give them an inch.....what exactly is a violence zone? the whole 007th district is a violence zone...isn't that what Tara and operation closed market were for..??
WASN'T MATT TOBIAS in the " MARINES " if so he must have been in the same unit as ; PHAT PHIL , DA MARE. CAUSE THEY ALL ACT THE SAME F-U-C-K-E-D U-P !!!

" THEY AIN'T NEVER FIRED A DOG YET "
Ah, old memories!
I made a left turn out of the cul de sac into Bishop Dr. A.C. Richards Drive and made another left into Madison St., a block north. Yes, the sign was still there: W. MONROE ST.
I hadn't visited Garfield Park in at least a decade. But I needed a beverage to bring along.
Here I was faced with my most vexing decision in over a month. Should I proceed to the new Starbucks, 3350 W. Roosevelt Rd. for my usual venti caffe latte or mocha. Fuck 'em. They hadn't even invited me to their grand opening.
After crossing Sacramento Blvd., there it was, unchanged for at least forty years! ROTHSCHILD Cut-Rate Liquors! How about a nice big bottle of Pilsner Urquell, Becks or Heineken, I thought.
No such luck as I brushed through the wineheads. I couldn't even find a decent California pinot noir on "the wine list". Being the incurable romantic that I am, I opted for the King Cobra over the Magnum in the plain brown bag.
Forty ounces chilled to a perfect forty degrees Fahrenheit.
Off to walk the dog in Garfield Park. Passing the Gold Dome, I found a nice spot along the lagoon just east of where the notorious Parkside Hotel once stood at 212 N. Hamlin Blvd.
With my brown bag and a Montecristo No. 2 in hand, I met up with the Jackson family from the 4100 block of Wilcox St. Really nice folks. Mrs. Jackson's recipe for barbecue sauce has to be the best kept secret this side of Langley.
It was nice and uncrowded. However, I won't be back this weekend..or anytime soon.

" THEY AIN'T NEVER FIRED A DOG YET "
Maybe they should. And they can hire someone that isn't a dog. That way my neighborhood won't end up the new "Violence zone" After all we all still have to live in the city.

all workin coppers who got it jammed up their ass.
don't worry TRU we'll all show up for your benifit at fop.
Gee thats right fop ain't gonna back yeah either.
This artilce is great.....once again the world is against these people.
Maybe they have higher rates because history has shown they have a higher rate of default. The reason this information is available is because they are the ones who started to demand that you put your race down for everything you do in life.
Now that that process has resulted in info that hurts them the world is racist again.
Study: Blacks, Latinos pay more for mortgages
Advocacy group says minorities get higher rates than whites with same pay
Updated: 2 hours, 6 minutes ago
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Black and Hispanic home buyers are more likely to pay high mortgage rates than white borrowers with similar credit ratings and income levels, an advocacy group found.
The Center for Responsible Lending said either loan sellers are charging higher rates to the minority customers or those borrowers are being steered to loan sellers that specialize in higher rates.
Using an industry database, the Durham-based nonprofit center compared credit scores, down payments and other financial information on about 177,000 loans made in 2004 by "subprime" lenders — companies that charge higher interest rates than banks. The lenders provided the borrowers' income and race.
The study, released Wednesday, found that blacks were 29 percent more likely to pay a high interest rate on a fixed-rate home purchase loan. A Hispanic borrower also was more likely to pay a high rate, it found.
"African Americans and Latinos are paying a premium for home loans because of the color of their skin," said Hilary Shelton, director of the NAACP's Washington bureau.
The Federal Reserve Board said last fall it had identified about 200 lenders whose records showed possible discrimination. Regulators said they would look more closely at those lenders.
The center's data did not include all the factors used by lenders, such as a borrower's total debts, making the study's conclusions incomplete, said Doug Duncan of the Mortgage Bankers Association. He also questioned the ability of any national study to prove discrimination, which would require an analysis of specific lenders.
The Charlotte Observer reported in August that blacks who borrowed from 25 of the nation's largest lenders were four times more likely than whites to pay high rates. Even blacks with incomes above $100,000 a year were charged high rates more often than whites with incomes below $40,000, the newspaper found.
Fuck you 3:52pm...I wouldn't give you my weed arrest-keep your sorry hands off my caper...TRU does much much more behind the scenes than you'll ever know...We may be close to jail, but we get the job done!!! Ask any copper in 009 or 007-we bail out the cowards nightly!!!
Fuck you
More property taxes!!! Argh and not a good argh at that. But Mr. Mayor sir, the monkey goes to private school. Well at least he did until that incident with the nunchuks yesterday. Bad monkey, bad. Ahhh, throwing stars coming at me quickly. Duck and cover. Duck and cover. Mental note: no more Chuck Norris movies for the monkey.

Where did the 55 million go the city got from homeland security over the last several years? Did they buy some new fire hose? Hey who has that contract.

Spoken like a TRU moron!
I guess with three years on the job you have seen it all! Behind the scenes? Yeah, right. What are you doing, traffic stops without the drivers knowing about it. TRU does serve a purpose, high visibility and numbers, but don't kid yourself, TRU is hardly an elite unit. The day you grow up and realize that is probably going to be the day you take your hatband off of you rearview mirror.
In response to "Fuck you", five dollars, no kissing.
Hahahah there is nothing like some good old internet bashing. You guys really crack me up.
If the tru is such an elite unit and they are so big and bad as they are claiming to be why can't they leave their spot without permision. oh boo hoo tru can't redeploy themselves even when officers are in need as in the riot in 011. All tru does is drive around in the same circle 3 and 4 cars deep. Now that's the REAL POLICE
Wonder if old Northside was cruising the west side for some head????
the problem in 018 tact has the initials...
M--moron
J--jagoff
T--tool
all of which apply to this goof.
never around when he's suppose to be, which probably isn't a bad thing because he couldn't handle a situation if need be because of his incompetence. Heard he's been a big goof his whole career even when he was a big time sos guy riding the coat tails of his partners, but never afraid to pound his chest and take credit for others work but consistemtly deflect blame away from himself.
a rael J.O. good luck 018
TRU is highly visible in the 009th Dist. Hey, isn't TRU based out of Pershing Rd? Dumbass kid, of course you are visible in 009. Get a clue! TRU is doing clandestine operations? Yeah right! This kid has some balls-he denies reality extremely well too. TRU will NEVER be SOS-even with your newly designed BDUs. hahahaha...
I assure you-we deploy ourselves wherever there is trouble. It goes without saying...TRU is the shit and you wannabees cannot hack it! 011 didn't need us...We were told that!
TRU is an elite unit. We don't take just any copper. Unlike SOS we don't require phone calls. We look for the activity producers in districts and inquire about the officers. That is why we are elite! We will back you up when we are told we are needed. Our hrs are going to get better as well...you may just regret badmothing the men and women of TRU...the epitome of REAL POLICE...
TRU will be elite when SOS and Beat cars quit working...hahahahaha
SCC just open a thread with what ever and the comments are always the same
TRU is the best
TRU sucks
SOS is the best
SOS sucks
016 are DOGS
Seiser runs it
TommaBuns runs it in 011
Where is the meaningful thought provoking stuff at?
Hey TRu boy...if thats who you really are....you have got to be retarded. TRU is a bunch of inexperienced kids, who by the grace of GOD, have not been arrested for the stupid things they have done. I am certainly not advocating being a dog, but just use your brain on some of the shit you children are doing.
TRU Boy says "I have not done anything which will jeopardize my career". We do what the Beat cops are afraid to do! Like it or not, if a badguy is caught by us-they will remember the day! We don't need to wear BDUs to be elite...it goes without saying. Oh, and BTW I have 6 yrs on this job-not 3 or less.
Stupid things?
-TRU member
Sounds alot like 14-16 yr. old teenie bopper's. A-little banter on Tru is one thing but post after post He said, no he said. No matter what the blog is about. Questionable if your even old enough to be the police. Tru-e this, your boring as hell! Real cop's have better things to say and their a he$l of a-lot funnier.
For Tru no insult for you.
off topic ---
did anyone see the FULL PAGE ad Bobby Rush took out in today's Trib?
That time of year!! When the politicians start pulling things out of their ass so they look all warm and fuzzy in time for voting!!
Why does everyone keep talking about TRU? Who cares about TRU or any other unit. TRU is just a unit of mostly youngsters that are a city wide saturation team. Most are new on the job and Gung Ho, just like most of us before we figured out it isn't worth going the extra mile for an ungrateful city. They will learn after getting stung a few times.
Da school's are over crowded, uh I think I know why but I have a better plan private school's, yep that's my plan. Grant's to da one's tat keep's havin dos little soon ta be voter's on da way. What do you want from ME, the schools da are over crowded tat's my reason fer da taxes.

Very well said. It will happen to you too just wait and see. Stay safe
This person going on and on about tru this and tru that is obviously not from tru, those of us that are really from tru don't think we are better than anyone else, we are happy to be where we are period. We back everyone up and wolfpack around backing each other up, cw1 sucks, half the time we can't make out what's being said so it's nice to have an extra car on hand when making stops. yes we make weed arrests, along with every other kind of arrest, guns, dope, hot cars , drinkers etc, goes with the territory. 009 locked up about 18 tonight for disorderly, are they pimpy 2 yr. wonders for it? no, they did what they had to do to stem a big conflict, and we backed them up and transported for them. Please stop buying into the idiot trying to rile everyone up with his bullshit. Sorry we can't re-deploy ourselves, it's not our call, it's the street deputy's usually, we wear the same bdus as everyone else, no special design, oh, and I have over 10 years on, not 2 lol.
10 years working with re-tards sorry ta- tell yeah but who's dick is stickin out when your 3-6 yrs wonder boy gets caught crackin somebody, yes its gonna happen 'cause " duke,wille etc" are primmed up for the summer and PHAT PHIL and his master DA MARE will burn the first fuck up, better you than me !!!!!!!
NOBODY gives a fuck about anything that goes on in 018 buddy. You whine about this guy everyday and no one responds. You work in fucking Highland Park compared to everyone else. Don't like the guy? There's plenty of openings in shitholes city wide. There is more to policing than hair gel & roids.
Ask any copper in 009 or 007-we bail out the cowards nightly!!!
Fuck you"
You don't bail out shit, you CUNT! Most of you come from pussy districts with next to zero time on the job. You think driving fast and using enough manpower to polic e an entire sector on a bullshit traffic stop makes you the police? Stop in 007 and suck my cock you one bagging piece of shit. As for Tru being such an elite unit....why are they the only unit that has to "advertise" for manpower?
Hey genius,
The shitbag that keeps going on and on about TRU is not from there.
He is an idiot trying to stir up everyone else. He has been doing it for a while now, and everyone is taking the bait, and for those of you that think it is just the two year wonders from TRU that will fuck up, it happens citywide everyday in every disrtict/unit from guys/gals with 2 yrs, to guys/gals with 25. By the way, it's not just P.O.'s but Sergeants, Lt's, etc... that fuck up.
I just wish I was so F*(&ING perfect, but then I would be a boss, and I would get shit for that.
Stay Safe everyone
This tru person is an idiot!! There are some great officers there as well as bosses, but overall it is a "less time on the job" unit. Yes there are those w/ time, but overall, newbies. You are an idiot to keep knocking district po's and people from other units. GET THE FUCK OVER YOURSELF!!!" Oh, and it is a phone call unit, or you at least have to have a sgt. want you on their team. Just being a "hard worker" alone gets no one there you know it and so does everyone else.
