Weekday Killings

According to the comments, there were four homicides on Tuesday:
  • Two men were slain early Tuesday outside one of their homes during a shooting in the West Side’s Humboldt Park neighborhood. [...]

    Both men were dead on the scene after being shot while sitting in a vehicle about 12:11 a.m. in the 3300 block of West Potomac Avenue, according to police News Affairs Officer John Henry.

And then a dead woman turns up on the west side:
  • The woman, whose name is being withheld, was found in a vacant lot at 4219 W. Arthington St. and pronounced dead on the scene at 12:20 p.m. Monday, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's office.
And we're assuming this is the fourth:
  • A man was killed and his 4-year-old daughter critically injured Monday night when he shielded her from a car that had jumped a curb and pinned both of them against a wrought iron fence on the South Side.

    A Chicago man, 32-year-old Angelo Thomas, was charged with drunken driving Tuesday night in the crash.
But as the media only seems to care about the shootings, a strangulation and a vehicular homicide might not show up in some of the statistical releases. They won't be showing up on Channel 2's Google shooting map for one. As another person pointed out, wait until it warms up.

There was another homicide at 63rd & Rockwell. Dude took a headshot and was DOA on scene.

It's a shame, but all the blood is on the hands of Daley, the Aldermen and the media.

They got the police department they wanted.

It will only get worse. The bodies will pile up. The working police will buckle up everyday without a contract. The activists,reverands and politicans will hoot and holler. A major event will have to happen before police in this city will be appreciated again. Very sad.

Very tan and retired

Thanks SCC for shedding light and allowing us to vent! WTF! The city is used to not caring about cpd, but now the city with the crimial daleyinc is allowing many to be killed and sacrificed at the altar of clout! Where is my personal hero Charles Bronson when we need him?(I know this great man passed), maybe more vigilantes like in the original "Mad Max" movie will roanm the streets and help get rid of the scum infecting this city! But at least we will have powerful guns! How about bulldozers issues to the police to clean up the bodies that will be all over before we arrive on the scene? Daley what an asshole!

Speaking of violence: A couple of nights ago in 023 a marked unit responded to gang members selling drugs call. Two officers arrived and began to interview 4-5 shitheads. At this time, 6 rival gang members decided to ambush the officers and the other gang with bats. Most of the offenders were caught and one officer was slightly injured. 023 3rd watch Sgt. BK, a merit puke, has the audacity to tell the involved officers they were partially responsible for victims' (gangbangers) injuries because they didn't protect them during the attack. Are we not supposed to protect ourselves first Bob? This guy is never on the officer's side and his stupidity is dangerous.

SCC,
Bella hits all the time, you on the other hand are off most of the time with your bullshit bathroom postings.

I get a kick out of the dopes who write stuff like this. If SCC is so much bullshit, why do you keep coming back? Obviously you are one of the following:

1. Neil Swineberg
2. Jody Weis
3. Fr. Nangle
4. A Stuttering Prick
5. A Suck-Up to all of the above.

Care to reveal your number?

If a sgt ever said that I was responsible for some shitbird getting hurt I would have to take 10 days in the penalty box because I would have to publicly embarrass him. Who the fuck are you to tell a copper something like that you POS. Lads just lay down.

BK I hope you buy your tires the same way lazy eye Linda does---by the gross

Mr. SouthSide says---

"...023 3rd watch Sgt. BK, a merit
puke..."

This is what is wrong with this story--

1. That these shitbirds would have the nerve to attack officers with bats. Obviously, these assholes have never been policed properly.

2. The sergeant would even think a statement like that, much less say it. It must be something in that Starbucks coffee that you northsiders worship.

I'd rather play every day in the real ghetto than have to deal with garbage like that. I know all of you guys will say we have great bars and great looking women, etc. So what? All we have to do is come down there and have our pick of the women anyway. They are soooo neglected.

How sad---this department has made the police scared to shoot at offenders with bats---ALL PO's need to be retrained--they need to realize its okay to use your gun if under attack from someone with a baseball bat---I blame you DALEY and the F---ing Media for this!! As God is my witness I knew that Police Officers would be getting hurt out here Why? Because everyone is so afraid to shoot these thugs!! We need a memo from the Superintendant himself---saying that ITS BETTER TO BE JUDGED BY 12 THAN CARRIED BY 6!! Please officers--I know we are all afraid of indictments and doing prison time--but I don't want to be that Sgt. that has to go tell your family that you are deceased---FBI Weis I'm begging you!! Help my officers--they need reprogramming so they are not afraid to be the police---As a PO. I used to have my gun out and at my side on every traffic stop---But since the Rev. Meeks bullsh-- I don't see the officers doing that! I am always telling my officers to watch their backs and keep their guns out, don't worry about public perception first make sure you are safe, then if the gun is not necessary, if you feel your safety is not in jeopardy then put it away. Boys and girls, I beg you ! Your safety is THE most important thing on this job! Remember We Serve and Protect!! We Serve and Protect Ourselves and each other First! Because without us brave police, the city would have no one to serve and protect it! Signed a sergeant who really cares!

I am so gosh darn glad I am retired, I cannot tell you! I am heartsick that the job I loved has come to this, all the city wants is an armed report taker, so give it to them! Be proud, be careful, and remember nothing matters on this job except you and your partner going home safe.
Peace out, blue.

The numbers for aggravated batteries w/ firearm are W A Y up. Homicide numbers are up also. This and certain area commanders are cutting into overtime, dumping their workers and having the sergeants micro manage cases. Not only are the bodies going to pile up the workers that cleared the cases have given up after seeing the co-workers hammered for OT, dumping, putting guys in homicide based on race etc. Good Luck.

******************************

It's probably been said already, but if you are attacked with a bat, you can shoot the prick. Just be ready to explain that you were in fear of your life as well as your partners. Also, if it's true that that Sgt said that, he is an embarrassment to all supervisors everywhere, including me. I feel sorry for anyone who has to work under that jagoff.

soon another honor roll student who was "getting his life back together" at the age of 15 will get zapped and this stuff will ramp up all over again. i have officially hung up my spurs. roll on calls and write paper. nothing proactive ever again. i have been in trouble numerous times on this job for doing "police work" and have had enough. i will still go thru a brick wall to help a fellow po even if i don't like the person. god bless and stay safe.

You know guys and girls, we do a lot of complaining and we do little to fix anything. For over a year I told the guys on my watch to start scouring the department for a patrolman (not a detective) who has the credentials to run against MD at FOP. Of course no effort was given (I'm a sgt by the way and can't participate in FOP stuff) and here we are again, complaining about MD. Well, let's start now, as an organization, searching for a decent candidate to run against Daley next time. I personally would love to see Mariam Santos come back. Anyway, if anyone actually ran against him it shouldn't be to tough to point out all his corruption. For example, in the face of a rising homicide rate he cuts the CPD budget but plans for all sorts of "improvements" in the city.. In other words he's taking money from public safety and throwing it into areas where his friends can slop it up. I can see it now, a candidate with flow charts showing all Daley's links to all these contractors, pictures and all cause he'll even deny being related to his own son, and the a flow chart showing the murder rate..And let's find someone credible, race is irrelevant as long as he can be everyones mayor..Come on guys, let's stop whining and start taking action...

oh no, another shooting. quick! lets move all the specialized units and tact teams ALL over to the west side and drive around in circles detouring crime in a 10 x 10 square block. DUHHHHHHH

meanwhile, the entire city and every police district a crime is broken, a shots fired call rings out and yes somebody else gets shot, stabbed or beat to death. and um boys and girls., no search warrants on fridays and saturdays, we need you to ride around in circles. DUHHHHHHHHHHHHH
