Churches Pick Up the Slack
- The leaders of several churches around the city are offering a plan to reduce homicides in Chicago and they are asking other churches and community organizations to join them. The church leaders are responding to a recent report showing the homicide rate rose in Chicago last year. Their plan includes establishing safe havens, distributing anti-violence flyers and having ministers on call for crisis interventions and conflict resolution.
Because lord knows that the manpower field shortages had nothing to do the rise in homicides. "Putting officers on the dots" sure sounds like a strategy, until you realize you've been in backlog for 13 hours straight and all the officers are on dots that have nothing to do with stopping gangs or guns.

Please look at the channel 9 news coverage of alderman Troutman's "Speech" at the city counsil" where after it is reported that Sam Adam Jr., her lawyer told her not to speak in front of cameras she did anyway. She Stated "I have fought on behalf of not just the people of the 20th ward, but on behalf of all the people of Chicago"
When you watch this, look at the M/1 Directly over her shoulder who is mouthing the words as she says them. It is obviously a rehearsed speech in tones reminisant of MLK.
Question is he her speech writer?
008 Third Watch Rules....
We don't care what the rest of the CPD. thinks about us. We'll kick all your asses. We the baddest, toughest, college graduates who ever came on this job.
007 sucks. 008 rules Zone 6.....
Not to mention the fact that guns are no longer wanted by the CPD just contact cards and dispersals
Amenziz one time
Killacky sent Troutman a Christmas card with $100.00 USC in it?
The question is why?

I work in 008. Please tell me you don't. If you do, I want to talk to your FTO now! Retard

I bet if Father Pleager was insome position of authority in CPD perhaps the homicide rate would be lower. No joke guys. I truly believe this and realize I will be lambasted for the comment, but it is something to be pondered.
Heard the Area 1 Gun team let a homicide offender free last night. The B Team Rangers locked him up 30 seconds later. Two B Team Rangers were later deployed to Area 1 to ensure the cry babies were on the paper.
"I have fought on behalf of not just the people of the 20th ward, but on behalf of all the people of Chicago"
She hasn't done anything for me and I'm a people of Chicago. A mayor (and not Dick) and 10 aldermen, that's all we need.
OFF TOPIC: But needs to be said,
007/ 011- You're not the bad ass REAL POLICE you think you are.
008- Like ALL districts and units in this city, have alot of really good AND really bad coppers. The one's that got yelled at, suck it up, wipe the tears, and change the diapers. Would you rather have taken time for violating an order given by the Chief of Patrol?
009- Again, has good and bad coppers. The "B" team, sorry you're a joke. Try going south of 51st and east of Damen and you might gain a little respect. The W/C should be filling the beat cars not taking away from them.
025- Despite what you might think, you ARE NOT the greatest police officers to ever walk the Earth.
003, 004, 005, 006- Sorry, you really do have my sympathy. Understaffed, crappy bosses, and not the friendliest customers.
TRU- Again, some good and some bad but by far, not ELITE.
There, now that it's been said, can we all finally just get along. To every copper out there, regardless of what district or unit you are in, stay safe and look out for each other.
So I can call Meeks into my district when we have gang tension?
Maybe Jesse and him can ride a car together. Do walk-downs and dispersals.
Maybe we can put fatass Meeks in a Superhero outfit. Cape and all.
Thanks Reverand for helping us stop murders, god knows we cant do it without you.
You are a class act!
i didnt get my test results yet.
were they sent out? if they were, who should i call?
WONDERFUL: NOW THE DEM. PARTY HAS CONVICTED FELONS RUNNING ON THEIR TICKET.
COME TO THINK OF IT MOST OF THEM ARE FELONS ANYWAY, JUST NOT CONVICTED YET.
i didnt get my test results yet.
were they sent out? if they were, who should i call?
------------------------------------
They were sent out,only those who passed got their results. The losers results will be sent out monday. Sorry stroke off.

Was'nt the good father a topic of a Sun Times article years ago about questionable behaviour with children
With all the anger you police officers have, why not go to church and pray. So full of hate, be at peace with ones self. If you cannot continue please go in your station and turn in your tin star and gun. Go back to Walmart, Walgreens or K-Mart for a more productive job.
i doubt they were sent out. i didn't get them either
Fine showing by the two canines on the NW side finding the Alzheimers missing in the woods.
To 10:26 a.m.:
Right on! The good father would surely be a benefit to the department, although I think me and 10:26 poster are the only two (and I am not even drunk) who belive so.
More smoke and mirrors.
Just like our Homeland Security issues in the city.
Off Topic.
I heard that there are 2 assholes in 009 that stopped by an Area 1 units traffic stop and told the Area 1 unit that the guy that was stopped was an ok guy. Unknown to the Area 1 guys that these bozos knew this guy was wanted for a homicide. As soon as they left the scene these assholes grab the pinch. Rumor has it they included a few of there 009th district ass monkeys on the paper and didn't even include the guys who made the stop. This 009th District guy is a real jag off and a suck ass to the bosses. I am sure anyone that knows anyone on 3rd watch in 009 knows about this "Billy Bad Ass". I know when I grow up I want to be just like him. The best part is to say to any police officer that someone is "Ok" when you know he is wanted for homicide. Not just a battery warrant or a bullshit traffic warrant but homicide. To that 009th district pissant, why don't you get out of the clout baby district and go somewhere else and be the real police? Back in the day your cocky little ass would have been laid out over something like that. I mean come on isn't that a little unsafe towards fellow officers?
1/13/2007 10:53:09 AM
Get it right moron. The Gun Team didn't let him go, they were told by some asshole that he was an guy and the po's knew him, and was stopped earlier by the Bitch Team Ranger. So they let the guy go, and the Bitch Team Ranger named Murph, tells this to the guys knowing he is wanted for homicide, because Gang Intel gave the heads up to 009 that he was in the area. So this Bitch Team Ranger basically puts these guys in harms way, and they weren't added to the paper. The best is this 009th District Bitch Team Ranger put it down as an assist call from the Gun Team, when there was no assist call given. Typical 009th district ass.

Call your mommy and cry some more. You probably failed moron. Your scores were so bad that they didn't want to mail it out to you and worry about you jumping off of a bridge.
There is a rumor that this will be the last election for Alderman William J.P. Banks. It is rumored that he will retire sometime during his term so Daley can appoint his replacement.
Like maybe his condo developer/zoning lawyer nephew James Banks. He is flooding neighborhoods with multi-story/multi-use buildings that changes the population and traffic denisty. He gets any zoning change he wants, and isn't that hat Troutman was asked to do?
I was moved to tears after reading SCD's request on his blog for discretion...Hil-fuckin-larious !
TO THOSE CHURCH FOLK(is there a pun there?):
Make sure uz ban those evil assault weapons, that'll cure everything!
Of the subject, but in the past,
if one cop had a problem with another cop or a boss, they squared off or exchanged yelling at a watch party. There was none of this backstabbing on the website.
But it was a different policeman who went to watch parties and had the balls to go face to face with someone. This group was comprised of Vietnam veterans, high school graduates who were glad to get this job and get out of the factories, and guys from Catholic high schools who played hard and drank hard together. Now it's comprised of all spoiled, gutless crybabies who never wanted for anything.
All you whining crybabies from 008 and 018, grow up and be a man or a woman, you got a problem, don't hide behind this blog - face your problem.
The job description for a Chicago Police Officer seeks Men and Women - not spoiled rotted brats. Grow the fuck up!!!!!
9th district 3rd watch is incredibly f'ed up. Can these bosses be that stupid, blind, ignorant?? The whole watch is unhappy and at odds b/c of this stupid "b" team. Just dismantle it and get things back to normal. There are never any rapid cars up anymore so ALL the beat guys/girls are really pissed off. The dispatchers are equally pissed b/c there's no body to give jobs to. The "cool" B-team does not answer any calls. WTF? At least ride on some hot calls and back up your fellow officers. But no, they're no where to be seen all night. they're off having coffee outside the district b/c they are soooo cool and "undercover" now. What a joke. All i hear now around the station is F this job, F the b team, and F these bosses in 009. That sounds like some great morale. Me thinks the numbers might start to take a tumble...
Riddle me this Batman:
AlderHos are allowed to carry guns,
Convicted felon wins election as AlderHo....can New AlderHo LEGALLY carry weapon?
009 B-Team Rocks! Wish you could be one But you cant because you have no Clout and are nothing more than a crybaby pissant!
SOUNDS LIKE AREA 2 SATURATION TEAM
TO 1/13/2007 11:52:13 AM ;
I work in 003, and while I appreciate the respect, our bosses are actually good. I've only been denied time twice in the last couple of years, the awards are pretty slow, but by that same token, they don't really work to jam you up either. The clientele is, well, unfriendly for the most part, but hey, we're apparently doing better than 005. I'm not saying that I won't leave given a decent opportunity, but from the way it sounds, I'd rather stay here and listen to legitimate beefs about no computers and gang dispersals than all of this whining coming from the "Retirement" districts. If it's so bad there, we ALWAYS have openings available, and well hell, you can share the joy of the ghetto.....Kool Aid's on me!
003rd District Copper
If and I mean a strong "If" this is true about the rumor/story that claims Area 1 Gun Team guys stopped a homicide offender, the 9th district B-Team pulls up and instead of telling them "do you know who you have" or telling them "hey guys - ole boy you have in your back seat is wanted for murder" they tell them, they know ole boy and he's a good guy and talk them into uncuffing him and letting him go only to turn around outside the eyes of the Gun Team guys and lock him up. Lucky for everybody that dude, now uncuffed didnt decide to flee or fight or even worse. How stupid if this is true. to the guys from 009 - thats really fucked up. i'm sure if you would told the gun team guys whats up they would have shared the wealth with you's for bringing it to their attention. thats a show of true inexperience and incompetance on behalf of the 009 guys.

No. They can't obtain an Illinois FOID card, either.
Nice job on finding the missing retired P.O. before something bad happened.
Its nice to see the city spared no resources to find one of "their own."
If this would have been some missing shithead from the west side, TRU, SOS and the helicopter unit would be out in force with recruits from the academy.
Nice job to those that made this event have a happy ending. To the bosses at CPD thanks for showing you care!(Not)
City rules say the mayor has power to allow anyone he wants to carry a gun. State law does not apply. No need for FOID card. Just like the mayor can ban all weapons in the city. (see D.C.)
Let me guess you work somewhere nice and fast like 001.
1/13/2007 07:05:39 PM
Nope, just a working p.o. in a working district who doesn't need to put myself on a pedestal to feel important.
1/14/2007 01:03:53 AM
Its true. I know a few 009th district guys that are good, oh wait they have over 10 years and worked in real districts before they went to 009. 009th district is mostly a bunch of beat off jag offs. Most 009th district guys I know don't know how to be a team player either. It shows in this incident above. 009 boys like to push around Mexicans but are afraid of their 30 sector blacks. Come work south of 47th st, chicken shits.
I was stopped at 39th and western the other day by a plain clothes car. I told to cop that im a County Sheriff, I asked him he is the B team that I read about on the interne. He said yeah and the B stands for.....then he Bitch Slapped me. I think I am going to call OPS on him and his partner

BACK TO NORMAL, MEANING SOUNDING LIKE A BUNCH OF MORONS ON THE RADIO WITH THEIR STUPID JUVENILE COMMENTS & HANGING OUT A TULSA ALL NIGHT????
Anybody remember the time Tillman pulled a revolver out of her purse and put a round in ceiling during a communitiy meeting (not CAPS) that got a little heated.
Nothing ever happened with that either.
1O:54:17 YOU HIT IT ON THE HEAD WITH THAT ONE, THIS BLOG IS A SHAMEFUL THING
Hey, SCC, you can knock it if you want to, but can it really HURT the stats?? I don't think so. God knows we've done about as much as we can as a Dept. can, short of just rounding up all black and Hispanic males under 30 who are lingering on our streets "for no useful purpose." I personally don't see how the churches can hurt things. Anyone they can make "see the light" and renounce their violent ways is a victory, even if it's only one person.
I work in 003 on 3rd watch. the Capt. is first rate, the Lt., now that he's back, is pretty good too.
Last week my partner and I called for backup, we had 3 arrests, and the wagon was not available. Guess who showed up to help out? The COMMANDER...and transported two of our bad guys in! I can't talk about where some of you guys work
(008, 009, 018, other dists), but from where I sit, things look pretty good over here at 71st & CG.

SO true so F'in True those 009 district primadonnas are a bunch of clout whining Beyotches,all the recruits that get sent there from the academy have done so with a call and the rest are a bunch of 3 year wonders real police I dont think so who covers the 30 sector? not this boys they be scared of Mo lets pull up the arrest histories and see how many of these hardchargers have made arrests in the 30 sector and for wich charges domestics dont count,you want to go back to nirmal and hang out at tulsa and inhale the propane and look at porn? what a perk for you 009 beyotches.
008 Third Watch Rules....
We don't care what the rest of the CPD. thinks about us. We'll kick all your asses. We the baddest, toughest, college graduates who ever came on this job.
007 sucks. 008 rules Zone 6.....
***i work in 008 on third watch..the person that wrote the above message is obviously an idiot...please god tell me that i really dont work with somebody this retarded and moronic..
1055
AMEN!
no disrespect to the previous bloggers...but why does everyone keep sayin all the new guys on the department are nothing but crybaby whiners...ok..im new and yeah i went to college, but i love having this job and definatly don't cry about anything...i come from a large southside irish catholic police family and grew up with it my whole life...couldnt picture myself doing anything else..so not all of us new people are whiners that dont care about this job and dont wanna do anything
It is amazing to see these young guys from 009 who never worked in real districts like 007, 011 or 015, puff their chests because they locked up some little mexican with bullshit. These same guys dread going to the 30 sector..it's no secret. I'll give these guys some respect when they get guns and drugs off the 30 sector. Wait a minute..they're too scared. I guess they'll just keep sandbaggin the little illegal mexicans.
To the posters that say "you're only the real police if you lock up black folks" ... Are you kidding me? You're trying to say that there is no need for police in the "little mexican guy" area's? For your ignorant west side ass, most of the shooting in 009 occur between the mexican gangs, and way more drugs over there also. But i guess to you, b/c you work in 007, 011, or 015 and have never dealt with the mexican folks you wouldn't know that. So why don't you shut your stupid pie hole.
I choose to not police the black area of my district b/c those people don't pay taxes, hate the white man, don't know how to act civily toward each other etc... i could go on and on. They don't deserve my service. If you get your rocks off by locking up these ignorant m/f/1's for 1 baggers, good for you, but that does not make you "the police" in my eyes. To me, being the police means helping people that want/need my help. Good people who's nice neighborhoods are being ravished by little shit bag gangbangers. When i can take one of them off the street and help restore a little peace to a small area, that makes me happy. Does chasing down joe really make you happy/proud? What are you really doing for that community?
Churches pick up the slack? I'm guilty of not being the most "regular" church going guy. But I can't remember a single time, while in church, hearing any mention of election crap or political BS of any sort. Meeks uses the church and his congregation as a soap box to preach his political agenda. HMMM...division of church and state? I remember reading that somewhere.
After years of loyal and faithful service on the lovely westside I finally figured out what the MB stands for in front of the word 'church' at all those locations in the ghetto...Make Believe!
See..several POs used the past tense of whine incorrectly. I have been reading this blog for a couple a months now and after the initial shell-shock of the seemin' hatred you seem to have for each other I finally figured that you're just venting. (psych101), and good for you. Did you know the reason most of us passed the police and most tests are because of phonics? They don't teach it in the public schools, and I am not kidding. You can actually CLEP ENG101 102 with phonics. So there. $45.00 a CLEP test. You are never too old to learn.
I work in 009, I patrol the 30 sector, I stay south of 47th (except for lunch of course), I lock up good ol' Mo, I have considerabley more time than the three years you seem to think we all have, I have absolutely no clout, and despite the fact that you think you are better than me, you are not, just like I am no better than you. If you need to tell yourself that you are the only REAL POLICE out there because of the shit-hole you work in, than fine you are the hardest working and smartest P.O. out there. Me, I'm just someone who likes the district I work in and doesn't have to tell everybody else they suck just to feel good about myself. Stay safe and back each other up, regardless of where you work.
-Happy in 009-

You're still scared. For your info morons, those illegal Mexicans don't pay taxes either. Tax paying citizens live in the west end of 008, west end of 022, 016, 018, 001, 020 and the list could go on for a bit. We know that the mobsters in 009 evade taxes, the Englerat doesn't pay taxes or the West Side Joe doesn't either. Mexicans don't like to fight the police and won't give you a good one like dude will. So keep pushing around the little bitty mexican man.
i doubt they were sent out. i didn't get them either
-----------------------------
You failed also
You've got some serious issues, "anonymous (15 Jan, 12:11AM)", claiming you won't police the "black" areas of your District because "they don't pay taxes, hate the white man...etc."
Maybe that's WHY some of them hate white people. Did you ever stop to think that your general ATTITUDE comes through when you deal with people of color? How else would you expect a person to react to that (and I'm sure you barely contain it when you deal with blacks & browns)? Don't pay taxes?? I'm white, and I live on South Shore Drive. You should see the condos that are being built over this way, and how my taxes have jumped!! With issues so obvious as the ones you have towards other races, it's a wonder you got this job at all. While I will admit to meeting some occasional hostility from blacks, I've also received it from Hispanics and white people too.
One day a black traffic violator squared off on me, and we were scrapping in the streets. Guess who came out to help ME? A black female senior citizen with a broom!
She wacked that guy enough that I was able to get him cuffed, and into my car. The woman told me she had observed me patrolling her neighborhood for years, and appreciated seeing me out there. If you truly believe all blacks are bad and/or tax cheats, you haven't seen the tax bills of white pols who live in 022 and 016. See what THEY pay in taxes, and compare it with your tax bill. In closing, I don't know you pal, but I'm sure glad you're not in a squad riding with me. These streets are tough enough without people like YOU making it worse for the rest of us who only want to do a good job, and go home at the end of the shift. And if you have that much hate in you, you're all wrong for this job.
Hey, i did not come on this job with any hate toward any race at all. In fact, i was considered extremely liberal in my thinking by all my peers. BUT, working in a black area forces one to dislike them. They give no respect to the police, spit in front of you as a sign of disrespect and will turn on your ass in a heartbeat. Countless times i've been chasing someone and he'll run past a group of people on their porch/street and i ask "where'd he go!? where'd he go!?" you know the response i get... I didn't see anyone. Well you know what F*ck them! They don't even want us to help clean up there neighborhoods. Most of them are in on the game and like to live like thugs. They don't appreciate us, and in my opinion are way beyond help. So i turn to an area that i can help and the people are decent and like seeing the police. I'm sorry, but that's the way i feel. I guess that's why this is a big dep't. We need people like you to work those areas and that can handle dealing with those people. I just cannot.

Amen brother. I edited the rest of your banter but I have to agree with you. There is no respect for us as the police or even human life for that matter. Thug life with no desire to change, improve, evolve, educate, clean. It doesn't take much to clean up your home. I got tired of doing the cockroach dance on domestics.
Being the police means making a differnece. There's no making a differnece there, it's only learn and leave.
No shame in that. It beats eating your gun.
