Minimal Coverage?

Thirteen people get shot at a party in 015 and the Tribune gives it two sentences at the end of a throwaway article?
  • On the West Side, a 17-year-old boy was killed and at least nine others were wounded after a man opened fire with a shotgun on a group leaving a party about 12:15 a.m. at Long Avenue and Iowa Street, in the Austin neighborhood, Taylor said.

    Jerel Smith, of the 5400 block of West Augusta Boulevard, was dead on the scene, according to the medical examiner's office.
Granted, most of the wounded were pellet wounds, not exactly life threatening. But in terms of sheer numbers, one would think that the media would.... oh wait. They weren't shot by the police, and it was just vice lords versus black p-stones, so it doesn't matter. We understand.

Silly SCC!
There you go again, thinking with logic! Why would the media report that? It doesn't make anyone any money if they can't make it a police/race issue! Why would they report that criminals act like... what's the word I'm looking for?... CRIMINALS? That would mean holding people accountable for thier actions, and we know that is just not done in this "enlightened" age! And if you are a total piece of shit, you can even have a street named after you in Maywood!!!!! SCC, get with the program!

Dear Mayor Daley, We, the Chicago Police Dept., have come to realize that you hate us as much as we hate you. Now to get the story straight... you have had a strong dislike for us ever since you were a child. When your father was Mayor you had 2 police officers assigned to your house every day. These two officers stated that you had a strong dislike for them as well as any police officers you came in contact with through your lifetime. Your nickname for them was "hey stupid" up until you were 17yrs old. You have been stopped by police over 16 times(from eye witness reports) and threatened the officers on every single occasion. The nickname for stopping you for an illegal action while driving was called " Spoiled Stop". Now we have all gotten a little older and its quite obvious how you won the last election. Jesse Jackson Jr. was ready to run against you and started making statements in the papers against you and then he started to get alot of attention and support. The next thing you know a meeting is called and 1 week later you state that you are running for another term and we hear that Jesse Jackson Jr.'s wife is going to be getting an Alderman spot.(dirty politics) Now lately you have been raking us over the coals in the media since it is contract time and you know we will want a 4% raise, so what do you do?....you flood the media with every negative story about us that you can. Every investigation regarding police corruption is thrown to the media horde for them to publish!! You then leave town and head to Rio and let the sharks attack us. Well what you did'nt realize was that you had just shot yourself in the foot. Next thing you know all police shootings are having a negative spin and the media is running with it, so much that it takes on a life of its own and it grows bigger and bigger with each shooting. Soon the boilng pot spills over and the criminals march on the 011th Dist. You sat back and allowed the criminals to take over and what has happened since?? A huge increase in shootings/ homicides through out the city. Now what can you do to fix this Mayor Daley? At first you blamed the police but after a lengthy meeting with your Olympic Bid Commitee you now realize that all the damage you have done against us also damages your bid for the Olympics. A city that will host the Olympics has to have a dependable police dept. and people have to be able to come here and feel safe, without that you have no chance at a bid. So, I am happy to finally see that you are now getting that which you deserve, an angry city. You will age more in the next year then you have your entire political career due to the worry of not getting the bid, you have made promises to certain people about big $ contracts for building Olympic venues and housing. Those people will come down on you in the media more than any of us could because they have $$$ and friends in the press. Do us all a favor and resign before Fitgerald comes knocking on your door with the indictments!!

Because the news media doesn't want to portray residents of the 015th District as violent animals. Usually the place is quiet, no dope slinging, crackheads wandering the streets, no one is on SSI, and everyone has jobs.

If he used a pump shotgun, w/no pistol grip,or extended shell tube;
technically he could have been in line w/the stuttering prick's gun policies.
Hell, maybe the shotgun was even registered!!!

Tribune and Slum-Times ought to do a story on the 004th District.
There isn't a single BOSS from Sergeant to Dist Commander who gives a fuck about the 004th District. None of them white shirts give a rat's ass about the district/communities. Talk about minimal coverage? Come to 004.....I work there...I know!

And while we're at it, how about a new G.O. on those retarded blue tooth devices that the ghetto cops wear in their ear? How ridiculous is that? Do you plan on chasing someone with that thing dangling in your ear?

Dear SCC,
I'd like to thank you for giving P.O.'S a place to sound off about things. There are very legitimate complaints and they need to be aired (it would be nice to have the FOP pick up on some of these and get something put in the paper). I'll be leaving this job soon and it can't get here fast enough. I'd like to remind everyone that this site is reviewed by people other than the POLICE. There is an old saying that you should hang together otherwise you'll surely hang separately. Certainly we've all dealt with the "chosen" individuals, the new kid on the job that thinks he knows it all (at one time we were probably one too), the Mayor who can't ever seem to attend the St. Judes' Day parade that honors our brother officers who have made the supreme sacrifice but jumps at a photo op at the Biliken Day parade, incompetent bosses, etc. The only thing we can do is to stick together. Together we can decide who to elect to be our voice at the FOP. Every officer should excercise his/her right to vote in local and national elections. We need to stick together and to get others to join us. This may not be a popular idea with some but perhaps we should align ourselves with the CFD, suburban law enforcement officers and more of the same. Working together we may be able to exert our influence on government and others (hear that FOP). Stand tall and protect each other if you don't things will stay the same.

I'm sorry, let me guess - the offenders were AFRO AMERICANS and the victims were AFRO AMERICANS right.

but lets put more thought into gun control for law abiding citizens.
