Who's Scared?
- In the wake of a third police-involved shooting in as many weeks, acting Police Supt. Dana Starks offered assurances Friday that the department thoroughly investigates such cases, following the evidence wherever it leads. [...]
But minutes later, Tonson's grandmother stood outside the building with large tears rolling down her cheeks, explaining carefully that in light of the three shootings of African-American males, she does not believe police can do what Starks said.
"Do you think we should trust what they say?" said Gloria Simmons. "No. No. No. ... If you are that scared of these little black boys, get off the police force."
Hey Ms. Simmons? If you're not "scared of these little black boys," how about you stop calling the police every time Junior won't eat his vegetables? Or is sassing you? Or won't go to school? Or is beating his current baby's mama? Or is slinging dope in the alleys as Tonson was doing?
We're getting damn sick and tired of being the media's whipping boy over and over again when they publish this clap trap.
And speaking of clap trap, this from the Tribune:

And speaking of clap trap, this from the Tribune:
- Holding signs saying, "Police: No Kill Zone," dozens of community activists marched in the Loop on Saturday, protesting the third police shooting this month.
"What happened to the days when the police would say, 'Halt' or wound somebody?" said Rev. Steve Greer Jr., pastor of Christian Valley Baptist Church in North Lawndale, whose congregants come from the West Side. "Why do they have to shoot to kill?"
Gee, rev, verbal direction is part and parcel of every single bit of training Officers go through. It's automatic nowadays. Trouble is, certain people don't seem to have ever been taught to listen. For example, over a year ago, there was a certain state senator and "reverend" who disregarded numerous verbal directions to remain in his car, to return to his car, to stop advancing on a sergeant who pulled him over because his driver committed a traffic violation. Maybe Meeks should have listened? Maybe this dope dealer should have listened?
As for shooting to kill, that's part and parcel of training, too. Aim for center mass, remove the threat. We aren't trained to wound. When deadly force is threatened or implied by an offender. especially one who isn't following verbal direction, then deadly force is authorized by law. Why is it we've never ever seen an intelligent reverend? Is stupidity required for a divinity degree?

Reverends that watch to many movies. They expect under high pressure, threat of life situations for the police to go 'Lethal Weapon' on someone and hit them in the leg. Hell no. You take out the threat, the best way you can. And it seems that nowadays, our fellow officers are doing a damn good job of it. Nice work!!!
When will the grandma's and the babies mama's protest gangbanging...which is the ONLY REAL REASON these fools are getting shot by the po-po! Wouldn't want to ruin the real income for the family though, eh? It's all about the Benjamins, right?!?!?! IF YOU HAVE A GUN IN YOUR HAND, I WILL DO EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO ELIMINATE YOU FROM THE HUMAN RACE. If you sell drugs, I will do everything I can to put you in prison.
The CPD are not arbitrarily killing black men. They are shooting ARMED ASSAILANTS who happen to be black. Maybe someday the papers will actually print this instead of trying to incite a race riot.
If a race riot develops, I bet the Sun-Times building will be one of the first to burn. Fuck 'em...reap what you sow.
More black heroes facing felony charges!!

CAVE CREEK, Ariz. -- About a half-pound of suspected illegal narcotics were found at the north Phoenix home of rapper DMX during a search launched by sheriff's deputies on Friday, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio said.
Deputies, acting on a tip of animal cruelty, carried out 12 pit bulls in need of immediate medical care, investigators said.
They said they also found the bodies of three dogs buried in the back yard of the Cave Creek property.
I for one am TERRIFIED of these little black boys!
Terrified they might start behaving and going to school! God forbid they stop breaking the law! That might mean less PO's getting hired!
Oh, and Rev. Steve Greer Jr., be sure you "shoot to wound" when some shithead is breaking into your place in the middle of the night.
Hahahaha shoot to wound??? That's hilarious. Ladies and Germs, you better continue to shoot to KILL! These fuckers out there, as we all know, are not playing. Fuck the the phoney reverends, fuck the biased media, fuck the select few ignorant citizens, take care of business! Us going home to our families, or what have you, safe and hopefully in one piece is all that matters. GOOD JOB to those who have recently taken care of business. And yes, I wear hair gel and proud of it!
It's all a game. It's all a game that they have to play, otherwise the world will catch on to their bullshit. They know who the dealers are, they know who shot pookie, they know Boo been beatin' up on baby's Mama, but they sure as hell won't ever admit that a male black was the aggressor in a shooting because the truth would be too devastating to their "woe is me-I'm poor and oppressed-whitey be pickin' on me-nothin's my fault-the man be keepin' brothas down-CIA brings crack into the ghetto" persona they want the world to believe in.
You want to know what I'm afraid of lady? The next time you feel like you want to sound ignorant on TV, go watch MTV or BET and take a good look at the role models of your precious, innocent babies. Take a look at their fists full of money, big cars with 22in spinners, half naked women, diamond encrusted gold grills, and a dozen rottweilers protecting their empire. Then take a look at the life you provided for your many children by raising 5 generations in the same CHA apartment, and try to understand the frustration and hopelessness your children feel when they see the unattainable on TV and start killing each other for a new pair of Jordans... Yes, I said it. You are responsible for what goes on in your neighborhood. You are responsible for your children. You are responsible for his death.
Or how about just STFU and help the police fix your Godforsaken neighborhood... oh wait... if dere aints be no crimes, then dere aints be nos excuse fo actin a foo and da gubment might be taking yo check away... AND YOU JUST MIGHT HAVE TO WORK FOR A LIVING LIKE THE REST OF THE WORLD YOU PIECE OF SHIT!
If anyone points a gun at me I am shooting them dead, and it has nothing to do with color or race. Do you want to know the truth as to why I would do such a thing? (probably not but I'm going to tell you anyway) Because I am not a worthless piece of shit like your gang banging-drug dealing son who was a burden on society. Because I want to go home at night and hug my children. Because my family needs me and I want to raise my children in the family unit as God intended. Because I am going to do whatever it takes so my children have a future and won't end up killed by the police because they were fatherless and stupid.
Unlike your children, my children WILL NOT be raised by the government.
Arrested a store front reverend once upon a time. He kept saying Praise the lord and god bless you. Psyche ops for me to feel guilty. I then asked him what was the first sentence of the book of Genesis. Any reverend would know that I though. He said, "I don't know the Bible per-se". It’s "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth..." by the way
It amazes me that Dana Starks said "we will follow the evidence ... wherever it leads." If that's not a stab at officers, I don't know what is. A double entendre? We think we know where his true allegiance is. How about saying, "We fully investigate every police related shooting incident." Why appease the community by the suggestion that an investigation will confirm wrongdoing. Thanks alot.
If the police stop me for no matter what the reason (traffic offense, call of a suspicious person, or whatever). If they approach me, I'll let the officers see both of my hands, I won't make any suddon movements, I won't reach for anything, I won't speed away resulting in a pursuit, I won't run away resulting in a foot chase, I won't mother fuck the police, nor will I attempt to fight or resist the police. I'm not a hard core criminal. I'm not on anything I shouldn't be THUS I will walk away from the incident without any worry whatsover. REAL SIMPLE! COMMON SENSE! So all these fucking idiots out there that do all of the things that I wouldnt do. They are criminals, gang bangers, dope dealers, or police hating pieces of shit. Blame the fucking stroke ass idiots, not the polie when something happens. And while we're at it, fuck the media. I'm so sick of them too. Hey Mr. Reporter. When your sister or wife is being beaten and gang raped by a fucking convicted felon and then he enters you house and kills the family dog, rapes your daugther, drinks your beer out of your fridge and then burglarizes your home and then steals your car, WHO DO YOU CALL FOR HELP. THE CPD !!!! Oh, so now you care, right....
Why is it we've never ever seen an intelligent reverend? Is stupidity required for a divinity degree?
AMEN BROTHER!!!

Hmmm,maybe someone should ask that question to the thugs that shot the two female H.S. students in 005 over the weekend. Where is the outrage by the community when animals like this shoot two kids enjoying what's left of summer?
Maybe Phleger should ask why his church is responsible for ruining the lives of thousands. Maybe his church should have a meeting with the community to explain why his church didn't weed out the sexual predators or thieves who stole thousands of dollars.

With 3 boxtops and a $15.00 application fee, you too can be a West Side Reverend (WSR)!
Please wait 4-6 weeks (not Meeks) for your certificate to arrive by mail.
I don't think Dana's statement was meant as a slam towards anyone. In fact, that is about as articulate as anything he has ever said.
Divinity Degree? You mean going to a theological school and learning about religion? Isn't it just easier to pay ten bucks to some so-called religion and getting your little piece of paper that gives you the right to open a church with folding chairs?
STUPID,STUPID PEOPLE!
HEY 01:33AM,VERY WELL SAID. THANKYOU.
as being a white individual,i for one an scared when i see two or more black males walking around the area of elston/central,is it a crime wave, the truth is ,yes they scare me,. to the babies momma, antie ,kuzin etc... we will see riots in the street sooner than you think, then we will see the reverends on tv ,watching as the store front churhes burn,saying the almight words, where beez da poleesce, help me now...
They only hire sissies now. All the new hires are scared. The most out-of-shape characters seen in years.
I wanted to keep this going because there is a officer safety issue and morale involved here.

I PREFER THE SHOOT TO MAIM APPROACH.
I LOVE SEEING BANGER IN WHEEL CHAIRS.
I ALWAYS TELL EM LOOK AT THE BRIGHT SIDE YOU GYM SHOE WILL LAST FOREVER.
...How come this Burglary team works days?...
Probably because that's when most, if not all, residential burglaries happen in neighborhoods where people work during the day.
The city wants you to stop shooting people. They want more crime less homicides, lets give them that. DO NATTA
9:38 You are a fool.
Almost ALL residential burglaries (that occur in neighborhoods where people work, like 016/017) take place during the day.
I have been a ghetto P.O. for 10 years, so I know what its like chasing these idiots around. But, I don't sh!t on other PO's who job is different than mine.
To: "Who allows this to happen? Do we as taxpayers deserve this? I heard of burglars hitting businesses in the wee hours of the night. How come this Burglary team works days?"
Because people work during the day and are not at home. Hence...Burglary team. Duh!!!!
Go back to the academy.

Lets be real the CAPT on days in 017 is a total political hack !
The 017 dist sucks for bosses ie CAPTAINS !!!! I know that the CAPT on midnights is a total coward and a back stabber !!!
The moral is shot in 017 for any real workin copper and if you are lucky to be a ( golden person ) any female on days-caps-special assignment car- you got it made with a 5-6 hour day!
I'm sure that the merit promotions were real in 017 tooooo!

And for you new guys and gals who will say if you don't like 017 then bid out - to you " I say I did and grow up " 'cause as long as there is senority I'll TELL YEAH -GET TO THE BACK OF THE LINE !!!!!!
Isn't it amazing that all those fools are always available to picket and march.
I wonder how they get off work.

It amazes me that Dana Starks said "we will follow the evidence ... wherever it leads." If that's not a stab at officers, I don't know what is.
Then I guess you don't know what is because the police are paid do do exactly what Dana Said....you are supposed to follow the evidence wherever it leads!!!
lets face it were lucky to hit ANYTHING when we shoot, how do they expect pin-point accuracy on a moving target?
It's all a game. It's all a game that they have to play, otherwise the world will catch on to their bullshit.

Another compliment for you 1:33. You said it perfectly. You should send this to the newspaper. Would love to see what the response would be. Bet it would be HUGE.
Start praticing more head shots!
Keep repeating this and you won't be afraid-IT'S ONLY A MOVIE!,IT'S ONLY A MOVIE!,IT'S ONLY A MOVIE!,
IT'S ONLY A MOVIE!,IT'S ONLY A MOVIE!,IT'S ONLY A MOVIE!,IT'IT'S ONLY A MOVIE!,ITS ONLY A MOVIE IT'S ONLY A MOVIE!,!,
"Activists decry 3rd police shooting in a month".
I had to laugh when I read that headline from the Tribune. As others have said, why doesn't "the community" ever say a word about the real reasons for all of these police shootings: the gangbanging, uneducated, too lazy to work, gotta keep it real deadbeats who are the ones that are terrorizing their precious community. If nothing else, this type of reporting is good for a few laughs.
"We weren't too happy," said Rev. Robin Hood, a lead organizer of the march, referring to Friday's meeting with Starks. "We need more police accountability."
Are you fooking kidding me? Rev. Robin Hood? Does he rob from the rich to give to the poor. I'll bet he keeps all of the booty for himself. What a joke.
If its brown..its down.

Because there are no places open to ge shopping during the night. How is this poor burglary team going to find a decent place to go have lunch - there isn't anywhere good to eat after dark. Insn't this the same team that stole a robbery arrest from Northeastern Il Univ. police, who took the initial report and worked the case tirelessly with impressive police work. NE police id'd the guy and were waiting to pick him up when the offenders "aunite" called 911 and said she was holding the offender, who admitted everything to her about the robbery. The illustrious burglary clown car responds and scoops the little goof up. NE police respond just behind them and ask to take custody of the little jagoff so they can complete their investigation. The clowns refuse thinking this "big arrest" will get them on TV and promoted.
So yet another police department thinks CPD are a bunch of jagoffs. We are quickly running out of friends in other jurisdictions, but hey! great arrest! you losers.
Stop Snitchin. Words to live by in the 'hood.
LoL
Can we at least get you all to stop the gun control support? Can we get support from the CPD at the top levels to stop more calls for gun control?
Start praticing more head shots!
8/26/2007 02:00:00 PM
We were taught in the academy to shoot the body. It's softer and the 9mm will penetrate. Sometimes the projectile will bounce off their hard heads!
Saw Starks on tv. I don't really keep up with what any of the white shirts say cause it's usually all bullshit anyway. I happened not to change the channel and he actually had some words of appreciation about the police. WOW I was shocked.
"Another compliment for you 1:33. You said it perfectly. You should send this to the newspaper. Would love to see what the response would be. Bet it would be HUGE."
Thank you 08:45AM and 01:53PM for the compliments, but something like this would never get published because it contains a little something I like to call "the truth". And we know there is no room for the truth in media.
Someone asked if the kid had a gun in one of the other blogs. That is just typical of the media coverage; they will conveniently leave out that the aspiring doctor had a weapon and pointed at officers. The headlines read "Police shoot suspect in the back", not "Offender shot after firing on police".
I don't post here much but I check out the blog once a week or so. I am a detention aide at a northside district and despite the fact that many PO's don't like the DA's (and some of us deserve to be disliked), I feel we all share the same concerns about the job and the city.
Let's all be safe out there.
