Losing the Streets
Can you see it J-Fed? Can you feel it?
Are you finally realizing what you're here for? You are a well-paid target. And the only person carrying the weapon that will bring you down is the mayor.

- Chicago police will be out in greater numbers for tonight’s Navy Pier fireworks show after four people were shot last night as crowds streamed out of the Grant Park fireworks and Taste of Chicago.
And how did we get the "greater numbers"? By stripping the Districts. Taxpaying citizens went without police protection so there wouldn't be a repeat of last night's debacle. The numbers we heard were one sergeant and four officers per district plus the Tact teams, TRU and a few inside people.
One has to ask why wasn't this done last night? Why are we shorting the details? Especially the biggest detail of the year? TMAs in charge of intersections? Unarmed recruits manning posts? In years past, Summer Mobile covered bridges in and out of downtown, confiscated alcohol and fielded around 100 cops on the 3rd of July. Special Operations put 200 people downtown each year and spent the last few hours of the night clearing corners. Off-duty guys and gals worked for time and a half on one of their off days for another few hundred people.
Everything we've seen and heard suggests we were short at least 300 cops last night. WGN actually had footage of the brawl in front of Buckingham Fountain. Certainly a proud moment in the history of the Taste of Chicago and in the Daley Administration.
The question that ought to be discussed at length is whose head is going to be on the chopping block for this? Because Daley can't blame anyone except the management, and every single one of them is someone he told J-Fed to put there. And could any of the media finally pick up on the fact that we are shorthanded? It doesn't get much more obvious. Stop sniffing Daley's ass long enough to do a head count.

oh wellll let it burn, go home safe. we have shit equipment they get shit work
and about 6 ppo's from almost every district were detailed out too
Just a thought: How about a Vote of no Confidence in Mayor Daley and J-Fraud? An actual vote taken of all sworn officers with the results published in the papers. Goodbye Olympics, Goodbye J-Fraud.
Daley's not going anywhere. He will have his vote fixed as usual and get a 99% approval rating.
in the near future Chicago will be another Gary. Call in the National Guard! they can also request an event number. AND thet like to wear their hats!
guess daley did it again, why did he not use his army of bodygurads along with eddie burkes to add manpower to this dangerous situation? why richie why? because your a fucking moron with no clue your shit city is over run with animals bent on destruction but you don't care maybe more 400K planters will help? Your father must be spinning in his grave over all the things you have destroyed right mayor freido? please Patrick Fitzgerald indict daley now before?
jody has finally gotten a real "taste" of chicago...
Events you can bring your family to rated in order of the security provided:
#1. Summerfest, Milwaukee; they quickly learned from serious mistakes years ago.
#2. The various Ethnic Fests held at the Summerfest grounds throughout the summer.
#3. Wisconsin State Fair.
#4. Rockford Riverfront Festival.
These are all top value; well worth the dollars spent and well worth the trip.
#5-999. Fill in the blanks with your personal preferences.
#1000. Taste of Chicago. You really have to be lost for something to do to go there. You will be sheared like a sheep; overcrowded; probably get sick; certainly see animal behavior at very close range; and left wanting for entertaiment, dollar value, and
you will feel endangered until you manage to get home safely, if you are so lucky.
Man shot by police on Southeast Side
July 4, 2008Recommend
FROM STNG WIRE REPORTS
A man is in serious condition after being shot by a police officer Friday evening in the Southeast Side’s South Chicago neighborhood.
An adult male was shot by police at the 2000 block of East 83rd Street, Independent Police Review Authority spokesman Mark Payne said.
The shooting happened about 5:55 p.m., according to police News Affairs.
Officers, on routine patrol, observed a vehicle with an expired license plate and pulled the driver over, police said.
When an officer approached the car, a man exited the vehicle and fled on foot. During the chase, the armed man stopped and pointed a weapon at an officer, police said.
The officer then discharged his weapon, police said.
Police recovered a weapon from the scene, and the man was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn in serious condition.
The Independent Police Review Authority is investigating the shooting
ANOTHER POLICE SHOOTING? Jfed, can you please explain on film why?
Are one-person patrols too dangerous?
RICHARD FRANCIS | Some question safety
July 4, 2008Recommend (2)
BY FRANK MAIN Crime Reporter/fmain@suntimes.com
Chicago Police Officer Richard M. Francis was patrolling alone when he was shot to death -- renewing decades-old questions about the department's use of "one-man cars."
Thirty-five years ago, after Officer Robert F. Wenzel was killed, the Fraternal Order of Police and others blasted the department for allowing officers to patrol alone, saying they needed a partner to back them up in dangerous situations. complete link below:

note! A spokeswoman for Police Supt. Jody Weis declined comment.
from another post: J-fed is a complete joke. Walking around in his black shirt with his black shades acting all bad ass with his fed buddies. He did not even acknowledge one police officer, not even a look!
7/04/2008 11:46:00 PM
CPD'S LEADER!
where is BT. 812 1st watch? WTF!
$$$$$$$$$$
THAT'S WHY
there were more white shirts then blue shirts! how sad is that? guess what... mr. daley will be snug as a bug in his bed when the p.o. is receiving an ass kicking due to the fact of lack of man power. 370 days w/o a contract! GO TEAM!
police shooting in 004th district while extra police are detailed to chicago taste...since we are the reactive police...now what?
J-Fed and Dick Daley got exactly what they deserve! They've stripped the patrol division down to nothing, basically destroyed morale and now they are scrambling. How many of us spent year after year at the Taste, making time and a half, while standing around, enjoying the scenery, shooting the breeze and just eating our way through the day, with no vest and one radio per team. This year, 10-1's, homicide, shots fired and brawls in front of Buckingham Fountain. Anyone who goes out there without a vest and a radio, is insane. Not only are we short manpower but we don't even have the equipment, meaning radios, to put extra people out on the street and they want the 2016 Olympics? Anyone who has seen that video of J-Fed's news conference claiming his family and friends were at the Taste and they feel safe knows he was tap dancing like crazy.......When did we ever need a helicopter and SWAT to patrol the Taste? They can thank Pfledger, Sharpton and Jesse Jackson for for stepping up against alleged racial profiling and police brutality. Where was the outcry this morning for endangering the lives of people out to enjoy the celebration? Amazing but if the po po had lit up the useless piece of garbage with the pistol they would have been all over the news ! Screw them all, screw J-Fed, screw Dickhead Daley and those useless alderman! I feel sorry for the tax paying citizens, your neighbors, my neighbors who have to endure what the idiots have created!
Thank God Jfed beefed up CPD for the chicago taste...now it's out of chicago...chicago suntimes reports Dolton has it, toddler shot during a gunfight while in his biological father care. Chicago is safe folks...stay away from Dolton.
Everyone has played the game of 'IT'...okay Dolton 'you're IT'
It was crazy in 004 today! Police shooting, offender struck multiple times in the chest and head...Officer is ok and (1) handgun recovered. Short officers, no squad cars, and in a RAP all night...but that's the norm.
What was Mayor Daley thinking when he displaced all the CHA project rats into all the neighborhoods and suburbs of Chicago?
We are working two maybe three jobs to afford a nice place to live in this overpriced bullshit City as these pieces of tax absorbing non-working shitbirds are being given free homes and condos to live in.
When is there going to be an uprising by the working people to stop this bullshit. There is nothing in our US Constitution that says the government is able to take my money to give non-working breeding machines FREE FREE FREE shit!
Build a few thousand high rise buildings in the middle of some desert and send these pricks there!
This is nuts. The group of people bleeding all our tax dollars are the worse citizens in the world!
FUCK THEM AND SCREW THEM!
STOP GIVING OUR MONEY TO THESE ASSHOLES!
"Losing the Streets"
NO SCC
WE LOST THE STREETS
You ever wonder how fucked up our dept. is? 4th of July all the day tact teams are sent to the taste and then released after 15 minutes and told to come back at night and we will pay you 3hours overtime for this morning. Somewhere between 11am and 6pm the top brass thought it may be a contract violation to bring back the tact teams, which is would not have been, so they told them to all stay home and their 15 minutes was their tour of duty.
Get a clue you fucking idiots, after last night who would of cared about the $?
I was at the "Waste of Chicago". It was like going to Ghettofest. It is a shame that everything this City tries to do is spoiled by these assholes. Maybe all the white people should were ghettowear and bum-rush the Bud Biliken Parade!
the wonderful 2nd district with its even more wonderful Washington park decides to surround the police and try to steal an offender. great response from 2,3,21, and several unk outside units. thank god no police hurt but severely out manned at least 2-3000 to 40. it obviously could of been much worse, again we were lucky, its time to stop basing our obvious problem areas on the edict we hope to get lucky!! I ll tell you what all the reverends, lawyers, liberals, you come to these fests and use the tactics you think we should be using to control these savages..Oh yeah your to busy sitting in your nice home paid for by city taxpayers because you jumped on the police bashing bandwagon and collected from the deep pockets and free money that is chicago.
Just think the mother of all shit fests Bud Billiken is still yet to come!!!!!
are you kidding me? The Officers body is not even cold yet....
http://cbs2chicago.com/video/?id=46370@wbbm.dayport.com
It ain't J-Feds fault our man power is in the toilet. Its been that way for quite some time and doesn't appear to be getting any better. Just how many classes are in the acedemy right now? Nuff said.
So maybe our little dick mayor should hire more and perhaps this man power thing can begin to be fixed.....Shit! who am i kidding
Daley might be like the "Unsinkable Molly Brown" but J-Fed is sinking like the Titanic!
J-Fed had no idea what he was getting himself into and I'm sure he went home today and scheduled his next 6 BOTOX appointments, bought a trailer of JUST FOR MEN and realizes that it will take his entire salary to pay for the multiple face lifts he will require when he is no longer SUPT. of this "fine city." To heck with "CHALKIE" on the Olympic flag, we should just add him to the CITY of CHICAGO flag! We should get "Chalkie" bumper stickers and start putting them up all over the city like the Yuppies put stuff up!
Off subject but is Monique Bond a total idiot? How is it that she is quoted in the paper as saying that there is an investigation into whether the responding officers may have struck Officer Francis? Is she trying to establish the defense for this crazy woman who actually shot him? Then J-Fed just dances around the subject when the reporters asked him about it! What a bunch of idiots and no consideration for his family or his fellow officers who are already trying to cope with a bad situation! They need to send her back to the airport and then put her on a plane somewhere!
I Love it, I love it I love it, 16 year guy. Never a medical never a perk
Where's the link to WGN's fight footage?
scc of subject: I heard from a source Unique Bonds fumbled the ball with the tribune. She actually stated the dicks were checking to see if the late p/o was killed by FRIENDLY FIRE.
if this bitch doesn't get launched now for that incompetence she never will. This dept is a disgrace give the po and his family their dignity. I got this second hand, and also just learned police involved shooting in 004 tonite on third watch.
I hope the nitwits statement isn't true but its in the Tribune.
shouldn't that information be with held until the man is buried, and the troops are informed?
Why would you thing the media would do anything? When you plan on hijacking a city, one of the first groups you make deals with is the media. They keep you out of the papers and if you really step on it, it's a quick report. Now cops, on the other hand, get the repeated coverage. How many times did we watch the Abate vid? Think that ever happened to da mao?
2 Chicago officers hurt in car accident
Vehicle runs stop sign, hits squad car, police say
Tribune staff report
July 5, 2008
Two Chicago police officers were hurt Friday night after a vehicle ran a stop sign and hit their squad car on the South Side, police said.
The officers, members of the Area 1 Midnight Gang Team, were headed east on 50th Street at about 11 p.m. to answer a call when a driver ran a stop sign on South Throop Street and hit their car, police said. The driver ran away, but was arrested after a short chase, police said.
The officers were in stable condition at the University of Illinois Medical Center and expected to be released. The driver was in stable condition at St. Anthony Hospital.
No citations have been issued, police said.
The front page of the Scum-Times has a photo of J-Fed on it.J-fed looks like Carl Spackler from the Caddyshack movie.Real nice lip curl."I smell Westside Varmit Poontang at the Taste Of Chicago".SCC,how about putting up some photos to compare?We need some laughs,if only for a few moments.
Anybody voting for Obama and his left wing policies are as nuts as those people shooting up the streets of Chicago.
Stripped the Areas of Detectives too.
July 4 in Beverly Park a group of maybe one hundred thugs decide Beverly is a better location for a party of one hundred than any other park in Englewood.
Cars parked inside the park on the grass. Grills going. Fireworks. Drinking alcohol and pissing all over the park.
Many calls. 2220 shows up and does nothing.
All is lost.
Dear J-FED
Get the fuck out of here . You are not wanted and you have only made this dept. worst then it ever was .
You are in completely over your abnormal looking steroid head .
Let me explain Chicago in aviation terms:
Chicago is in an inverted flat spin that it entered at 1,000 feet, in a cloud bank... with a drunken baboon at the controls.
Chances for recovery are... negligble.
Is it true that after the fireworks on city wide 5 or 6 a call came out of "large groups of black males running around groping womens and girls breasts, buttocks and crotches before running off screaming,"OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA!", and if it IS true, why aren't our HARD HITTING, "JOURNALISTS" WITH ALL THAT INTEGRITY REPORTING THE INCIDENTS???
Can you IMAGINE?!?!?!?!?
LMFAO.
Where were all the P.O.'s with their M4's?
I went to one of the TOC's a long time ago. I had a great time!! I always planned to go to another. After reading this, I'm glad I never made it.
we are short handed at the very least a few thousand police officers on the street and working 99 on 3rd and 1st watch is a norm in many districts. what's going to happen when another officer gets hurt working 99??
2 coppers were injured last night at 50th and Throop, their car was nailed by a drunk mexican in a navigator. He was absolutely loaded and was easily doing 70 plus when he blew the stop sign and hit the coppers, the PO driving was knocked out and his partner limped after the asshole when he tried to flee and caught him. Hope they are okay. I think they were Area 1 midnight gang guys not sure
Heard the offender from 50th and Throop had .27 BAC, and they are trying to get Agg DUI on him. Last i heard the P.O. driving was pretty banged up, hope they are both home resting.
Shinebox you rock!!!
The brother of the piece of shit that shot Officer Francis was on channel 2 saying that the police should have shot her in the arm or shot the gun out of her hand and made an arrest.
How about some fucking flyers out there for the idiots in the media and the idiots on the street. This isn't trick shooting. This isn't a fucking game. Use a gun and the police will kill you. Simple as that. You're fucking morons.
I learned everything I know about "good government" from Mayor Daley. It just got "a little more complicated" in Zimbabwe.
They should let you drive tru the taste in your car like one of those drive-tru safaris.
I am old enough to remember a little bit of the 1970's and have to say that as a city we seem to be entering a period that reminds me a lot of how the 70's felt and that is not good. High gas prices, high taxes, extreme liberalism, anti-police sentiment, neighborhoods changing for the worse. at least back then cops stuck together, not sure I can say that for our generation of cops, especially alot of guys with less than 10 on.
The best was a couple of years ago when 023 Tact guys maced all the bangers fighting by the fountain. They fled like dying cockroaches knocking over the Rainbow Cone stand in their haste. Don't get your hands dirty on these animals mace the shit out of them and laugh.
Man shot, wounded in downtown Chicago
Chicago Tribune report | Tribune staff reporter
5:23 AM CDT, July 5, 2008
A 22-year-old man was shot and wounded early Saturday in downtown Chicago, police said.
Maybe this was a mile from the taste------or more like 2 blocks
Person shot @ Randolph Michigan last night and the media is calling it "The Loop" .... well at least the taste is not where is happened.
I've got a couple of suggestions for next year's Taste.
1. No one is allowed to enter who has the belt line of their pants situated below their stomach.
2. No one with a first name that does not appear on the list of the 100 most popular names for babies published every year around 1 April.
3. No one without a pay stub indicating they are employed. Welfare checks are not accepted.
4. No one making stupid signs with their fingers.
5. No one with hair that looks like a road map of the wine country of southern France.
6. And if Mayor Friedo can't muster the courage to enact numbers 1 through 5 how about this:
Offer overtime to off duty police officers to supplemnet the "normal" detail assigned to the Taste. Funds for this expendiutre can be gleaned from not allowing contracts to be issued to Mayor Friedo's son, cousins, friends, son's of friends, Alderfools, children of Alderfools, anyone associated with Eddie Burke, anyone associated with or for that matter anyone who has ever spoken to Jesse Jackson father, son or Ms. Alderfool Sandi the Stupid, anyone associated with the Toddler, anyone associated with Abdullah Obama, and most of all anyone associated with perhaps the biggest asshole in government here in Crook County, none other than Boss Hog (believe it or not he was actually one of us - thief though he was back then and continues to be) Bill Beavers - AKA "the biggest loudmouth, stupid, ignorant, dishonest, fool ever born."
If any of Big Bill's cohorts monitors this Blog please ensure Bill gets a copy of this.
I get WGN(superstation,yea right)
as part of my cable package out here and saw the footage.
You guys on the scene did all you can do. If one of you would have cracked one of these jagoffs, the media would have focused on you and the perceived brutality.
This is what the whore liberals wanted; they wont be sorry till it hits them at home, and its coming.
What these Godless c**ksuckers refuse to realize is that yea, everyone deserves a warning,after that,even in a Democracy, the Police need to split some heads.
Stay safe and watch each others backs............
obviously it didn't work because there was another shooting: randolph and michigan.
9 shot city wide 1 homicide. 3 separate shootings in 010
i estimate the attendance to be 60% ghetto at the taste.
just wait till a nice suburban family gets victimized.
we were way undermaned.
Are you kidding? Cuello is completely over her head. She was in overall command,even though she wanted no part of being in charge.
she was lost. Gave all authority to Dugan who did a great job.Cuello knew that when the shit hit the fan she would be blamed. Typical of all of J-Feds picks for Deputy Supts. Also, guess who planned the event and assigned the manpower - gutlees Frank Gross. as usual, he was no where to be found. This is the same Gross who was named a Commander because he conducted a promotion study group, charged a fee to the officers and then donated your money to Cline's project - the Memorial Fund. It was brilliant. it cost him nothing and he was made a Commander. nice country.
Mr. Mayor,
How is your Bridgeport buddy Deputy Chief Special K working out? He was in charge of this nonsense.
Do you think that instead of making some BS UUW headlining grabbing pinch and bothering some PO who is having a beer, he should have maybe drawn up a decent plan for the Taste? I am not talking about the boiler plate plans that the Patrol Div. churns out that are just nonsense. Maybe, sit down with some who legitimately rose through the ranks to say "Capt" and think about deployment, rapid response units, etc. etc.?
Just asking.
I guess J-Fraud needs bodyguards because he doesn't like to wear the vest. It's hard to flex and pose in a vest. We are so screwed with this loser.
Beeeeeery Intarrrrresting.

the animals rule the street. sorry mr citizen, but our hands are tied. when crime was down...everyone focused on policing the police. now you have what you wished for...''freedom'' no police interference in your life. now..who s gonna keep the animals in check? you heard of the show girls gone wild? this is city gone wild!
Beverly Park and no Police action

Someone like you should eave this city. If diversity bothers you, go south. You forget, CPD guarantees security of parade. Try to bum-rush the parade and earn the wrath of CPD. My friend, think twice before trying such a stupid idea. Now return to your little down downstate.

Did anyone notice all the high tech shit we have ...the helicopter(waste of $$)oemc camera(useless)the evevated prison guard tower.all this cool stuff to show the media and we still had a near riot on 03jul..old school policing works...surround dude with police and keep dude moving..not just watch and ask the "eye in the sky"how the crowd looks.we cant blame J-Fed for everything.This new "wiz kid" named Mike Masters has a hand in some of these new strategies...he is another Huberman that will propbally prove to be an idiot and have to be moved around several time just like Huberman was because they are all book smart with no common sense.what they fail to realixe is the dude factor...dude is dude and still needs to be told "GET THE FUCK OFF THE CORNER OR YOUR GOING TO JAIL" U see THAT WORKS!!!

100 hundred recruits in academy. 25 more due July 28th. Marv Shears will not increase hiring of recruits. Hiring 25 recruits at a time is a complete slap in the face of this department. Is city hall trying to reduce the size of department? Are they ignoring the rates of retirement? Does anyone in city hall care about the manpower shortage? New recruits are definitely in the budget but they will not hire more recruits. Are they playing with the money?
Losing the streets? They are lost! And who fives a shit?
370 days since our contract expired on June 30, 2007. The City shows no inclination to get one in place any time soon. I thus will show no inclination to do anything aggressive or proactive. Tickets? Hah! Arrests? Hardly. I will stay safe and protect my co-workers. Fuck the midget stuttering prick. Let his shithole city go up for grabs.
No contract=no work.
Hey people it is time to start calling Patrick Levar and letting him deal with it. Flood his office with phone calls.

These phone numbers are listed again at the bottom of this message.
Well, another wonderful weekend night in the 5000 block of West Ainslie St. No police available. Another car was broken into and the contents of it strewn about the street and lawns.
Same crap every weekend, cars broken into, car windows broken, house on the corner partying after 12 AM making noise, keeping neighbors awake, shooting off fireworks scaring dogs and babies. Same story, no police available. I am angry, my daughter's car is the latest casualty. Last night, it was broken into.
We, the tax paying, law abiding citizens of the 16th district deserve our police to be available to us and not the jobless, welfare collecting scum of this city, with their illegal guns, let them kill each other. What do they do to contribute to this society. It's gimme, gimme, gimme. They call welfare checks their paychecks. Guess what scum, paychecks are something you work for and pay taxes so scum like you can get free money and not pay taxes.
Mr. Mayor, when are you going to start helping out taxpaying citizens? We don't ask for much. Just leave our police in our district, we deserve to have them come out to our calls. We live in the largest district in the city, and deserve police protection, just as much as anyone else. Maybe more so, because we are working class people, minding our own business, and raising our families. Every time you take away our police the scum find out and start vandalizing our neighborhood. Help our police help us. This crap has got to stop. Please call:

Isn't there a police camera at Beverly Park
Pat Garrity would never allow that BS where's our alderperson
not enough police in 22
no one monitoring cameras in beverly area??????????????
people start calling 911 for every minor crime in Beverly and Mt Greenwood
were the police at the 7-11????
This is from the CBS 2 news website this morning. The brother of the offender who shot officer Francis speaks out. What bullshit! Why does the media give these assholes a platform? When was the last time the media gave free airtime to the families of slain police officers or service members?
Most likely..NEVER!
This guy essentially portrays his sister (a cop killer) as the fucking victim. GIVE ME A BREAK!!!
Once again, someone who has no understanding of police tactics asks why the police didn't shoot the gun from her hand.
Our officer isn't even laid to rest and the media is speculating (or should I say, making up shit)to sell papers, using the old "some say that the officer was in fact, shot by other responding officers" Who the fuck say's that? The reporter that's who. But they always use that phrase "some say" without saying who those people are. They always act like it's some secret, all knowing, confidential source, in reality it's some piss bum named JOE who partied with the offender in the previous decade! FUCK YOU MEDIA!
Published reports say court proceedings revealed Johnson took the officer's gun. He was shot in the eye, hip and leg. The asst. state's attorney said Johnson fired one shot at officers responding to the scene. They returned fire. Her brother said Robin was shot in the head, back, stomach, chest and both arms.
"I think it was more so like an eye for an eye, instead of trying to make an arrest," Tony said. "I think it could have been handled a lot better. I mean, even if she did have a gun in her hand, they're professionals, they could have tried to hit her in the arm some kind of way and made an arrest."
Johnson's brother said he has trouble understanding how his sister, who is four feet, 11 inches and weighs 170 pounds, could have overpowered Officer Francis. Police said the woman weighs closer to 300 pounds.
"I'm not saying she's guilty or not guilty," Tony said. "But, it just don't add up to me."
Did J-Fraud get written up for not wearing a vest? Ooooops, I forgot, this is the CPD. And he's EXEMPT.
In more ways than one.
He seems to be exempt from common sense.
God if this guy was a special agent in charge. The fbi is way more f@#$ed up then cpd. What rating should our boss get on his performance report. also saw our new boss for the first time in person recently, he does not look like he is in good shape, but yet he came in pushing all this pt crap.
It might be nice to have those two groups from TRU which our "LEADERS" disbanded just in time for the hot weather.
Maybe we can call on the FBI to help out? I forgot, they don't work on holidays!
Apparently J-Fraud's brain takes holidays off as well.
July 4 in Beverly Park a group of maybe one hundred thugs decide Beverly is a better location for a party of one hundred than any other park in Englewood.
Cars parked inside the park on the grass. Grills going. Fireworks. Drinking alcohol and pissing all over the park.
Many calls. 2220 shows up and does nothing.
All is lost.

If it was a hundred white people (and possibly Beverly residents) they would have been rounded up, ticketed, and thrown out. Once again, the rules only apply to whites. If this really happened, the supervisor in 22 is a fucking asshole and political cock sucking hack.
...These are all top value; well worth the dollars spent and well worth the trip...

I don't kmow if you have to pay to get into these events, as I have never been to any of them, but if you do I'll bet that makes a BIG difference in the clientele.
I love the retired school teacher who stated -I did not see alot of police in the area, more were needed here at the taste. Hopefully she did not teach math...over million at the taste & 13, 500(?) on CPD....numbers don't add...hello people.....
here is a scenerio from shady guy...you have a group of ass kickin feds who do some bad things maybe even steal from some bad guys and there is no 911...but instead of protecting us from muslim terrorists the real feds put in jail men so old they are gonna die soon anyway, and the crime of these old men killing and robbing other bad guys...the feds due this because its clean and easy...well now you wonder why cpd only does whats clean and easy...det. clearence rate a joke (dont blame them)... tac teams cant even get people to work them...beat cops so overwhelmed by service calls let alone get jammed up for making a mistake...hay we are more like feds everyday...the city maybe dirty but we will be clean...
Someone please explain tho these new P.O.'s that you do not call a 10-1 unless YOU a P.O. is getting your ass kicked. Back in the day the responding P.O.s would beat your ass if you called a 10-1 for nonsense like most of them did on the 3rd. People fighting in front of you is not a reason for a 10-1. Get on the radio and ask for an assist.
If you were actually stupid enought to go down to the taste especially on the 3rd you are an idiot. With all of the family friendly events that go on in the suburbs why would you put your family in danger to come to the taste.

Here's a broadcast linking the rising homicide rate to a perceived work slowdown by police.

Working 3rd watch in the 001 District really has me scratching my head. Most of the cars are 99 most of the time. You'd think for this weekend that they would beef up the watch and have fully manned - 10/4 units?! Nope. The night of the shootings. 99. Officer who on-viewed the shootings...99. Many other responding vehicles 99. Officer who got the paper dumped on....99. At least they made sure all the desk spots were covered for the weekend! Last night, the day after the shootings. 2 cars downed. Everyone else... 99! Officer Safety in the "Fightin First"? Non-existent. God Forbid there's ever a terrorist attack (or anything mildly worse than this shooting) in 001. Maybe all the house cats will be pushed out the front door with a broom and told to actually be the police?
its okay for them to drink in the park, drive in the park, smoke weed. they have been given a pass by society. dont anger them, appease them. new cpd policy.
I was detailed to the Waste of Shitghetto last nite and would just like to thank the gangbangers for allowing us to have the streets back. I felt really proud and safe and the site of the Great Gazoo riding on his segway to lead us just made me feel proud inside. It was so nice that the shitheads allowed us to have our moment.
off topic:
If it hasn't been done already, I would like to introduce the word "brasshole" to the blog.
thanks in advance.
Hey Scc,
I was wondering if you could fire off an open letter to Mr. Weis (He'll never be the police for me)asking him to explain the manpower issues when it comes to providing protection for the citizens, and lets face it, for fellow officers who work the street. You've proven to be very effective when putting pen to paper.
Consider the following:
I ran code 9161 (P.O.) to detrermine how many P.O.s were working something other than District Law.
1,234 are assigned to units within the Department. 1,354 are detailed to units within the department.
Among the more interesting:
44 assigned and 14 detailed to the 1st Deputy's Office.
58 assigned and 74 detailed to the Academy.
34 assigned and 4 detailed to Preventive Programs.
49 detailed to ERPS.
69 detailed to Gang intelligence.
39 detailed to Information Services.
17 detailed to the Medical Section.
104 detailed to Field services.
19 detailed to Personnel.
110 detailed to Special Functions.
12 Assigned and 60 detailed to Detached services.
14 detailed to Finance.
158 assigned and 59 detailed to TRU.
40 detailed to the D.O.C.
Etc., etc.
That's 2,588 P.O.s.
Granted some of the Units and postions are necessary but more of it seems to be business-as-usual when it comes to Chicago and it's Police Department.
Check out the YOJ column in some of these units. It's a joke.
I know it's a long post, sorry. If you don't want to put it up then it's just FYI.
RIP Officers Francis.
Did you have manpoewr sufficient enough in 022 to handle it? no, so what else can you do?
Typical reactionary B.S. from the CPD. Send a bunch of coppers down there on the 4th after the shit went down on the 3rd.
Let me guess. Not a damn thing went down last night.
Guys working the 3rd said that they were really short manpower.
Why not offer guys to work their RDO voluntarily for extra help?
Oh Noooooo. That would cost to much.
The stuttering prick doesn't realize that the small payout in O.T. might have stopped what happened therefore NOT making the millions he spent to try to get the Olympics here a TOTAL waste of taxpayer money.
Even though the stripped the districts to patrol the Taste, they managed to spare 2 officers in a patrol car to make sure the annual celebration in Mayfair Park was prevented again this year!
Yay nanny state!
This was in the Sun Times:
Comment from signofthetimes: When this unfortunate sad story was first reported, in a previous blog I stated that based on the information that the media provided it sounded fishy. I just found out the woman was 5'9 200lbs. I would to now say it no longer sounds fishy. If Officer Francis had a partner, I think he would still be with us today. He is a true hero in my eyes!
"Safey at the Taste is UNDISPUTED"
per J-Fraud.
That boy is either blind or really stupid.
Monique Bond-Shields
watch each others backs, back each other up. Take your time going to a call and evaluate the situation before rushing in. Mayor mumbles and J fraud dont give a crap about you! Write the report take your time guard the crime scene if the zone is in a backlog all night so be it. Get a lunch, a personnel, fill the car up with gas. Let the animals be animals. We have no contract and are undermanned so protect each other and the hell with the gheto rats. The city maybe going up for grabs but remember when that boss tells you to go out there and be the police he is the same guy that will throw you under the bus to get in good with the revs and media. Daley and the corrupt city council created this mess by gutting the police dept. Dont get hurt or suspended, fired because of their stupidity.
how about new name for next years event 'Taste of chicago thugs'
could you imagine if thousands of whites attacked families of blacks, grabbing girls asses, sticking hands up their skirts, yelling McCain! McCain!
OT....can someone post what the uniform of the day will be for Officer Francis' funeral.
Not that I give a shit but is the fuck face mayor going to say anything about the loss of one of our own? I have not seen one qoute in a paper or one news clip with him giving any condolences for the loss of a brother in blue.
What the Fuck!
Please remember that what is important is that at the end of the day you go home to see your family. The city and the mayor and jfed dont give a damn about the beat cop so take care of each other. The number of murders is just a BS number that the mayor liked to throw out there when crime was going down. He then used the decrease in crime to let the police dept fall into disrepair, we do not have enough men and our equipment is crap. every suburb has computers that work, radios that stay charged, shotguns or M4's, additional training every year we get crapped on and are forced to wait years for a contract. I stoped caring a while ago but the young guys better be careful.
I really put the blame, much more on "his honor?", than J-Fed.
J-Fed, is clueless on how to administer a big city police dept.
"his honor?" should have known that when he was hired.
He should have known getting rid of all those qualified bosses would come back to haunt him.
You know Stalin "Axed" 350,000 Military Officers, just before Hitler's Armies Attacked. Rumor is Stalin hid in his room the first week of the war, not knowing what to do. He was then smart enough to turn,the military over to the Highly Qualified Officers He had not killed.
Do You Think "his honor?" is hiding in his room ?
Do You Think "his honor?" will attend any of those retirement parties of the good men he "axed"?
Well cheer up, you can all go to the "Childrens Museum",soon to be at Grant Park, and water color.

If this is true, F**K 2220!!!!! F**k all the P/O's that work/live in 022 that did not do a damn thing!!! Way to go 022 thanks for keeping the homeland safe!!
I'll be the fall guy for 300k a year. Then again, I don't have an ego that requires plastic surgery.
We need MCLCs for crowd control.
TO: ANOTHER POLICE SHOOTING? Jfed, can you please explain on film why?
Answer: Because he pointed a gun at the officer.....If you can't figure out why then you are in the wrong line of work...
The Inmates are definately running the Asylum in this city, for sure..
OT: SCC maybe you can help confirm this rumor floating around from the unfortuante night Officer Francis was taken form us.
According to reports, when the superintendent and some of the command staff showed p up on scene, NOBODY addressed any of the officers that engaged the offender in the gunfight. One of the ooficers was covered in blood form attempting to aide the downed officer, but not one of our "bosses" would check on their well being.
Now, I have tried to remain optimistic about Weis, but if this is the case, FU. Worse yet, theose deputies that came up through the ranks (however you feel about that part) wouldn't even check on OUR own.... If these rumors are true, that is truly a sad commentary on our leadership.
West Side Sergeant
CAN YOU SAY: VENETIAN NIGHT??? That's going to be another Gangsta Fest. Will the city redeem itself? Or, will this be a repeat of the "Waste of Chi-ghetto"?
How many people , mayor , aldermen city/county officials are assigned body guards. Here is a man power shortage source.

Holy Putting Things in Perspective Batman!!!
I noticed a lot of finger pointing at the black community, in particularly, the shooting incident occurring after the July 3rd firework celebration. As an experience veteran officer I have worked in districts all over this city and I am very familiar with stereo types of all races. It is true that our black communities suffer from higher than usual crime, incarceration and social issues that go far beyond what any individual, group or career politicians can solve. It is easy to point the finger and blame other people of different races and say look see!
The herd of thugs video taped acting the fool at the fountain were black, but I have seen Hispanic, White and Asian youths act like thugs too.
There is no positive outcome to promoting hatred among races, people make choices and follow their own personal briefs, that is their right.
As police officers, people will call upon us for help. It is our job to listen and respond to their problems the best way we can.
Having worked with many black officers and citizens it serves no productive purpose creating animosity by rubbing their noses in this incident for racially motivated reasons, to embarrass them and put them on the defensive.
We each have our own perspectives and view points. Some of these beliefs are accurate, others are limited to personal experiences and prejudices. I have learned to tolerate all races of people knowing better that it is wiser to separate the good from the bad.
It would be reckless and inaccurate to over or under react to these situations. They are what they are, deal with it and move on.
Stress, hate and anger are silent killers for us all.
The last couple of years at the taste, p.o.s have been spread pretty thin. Bosses telling p.o.s not to congregate in groups of more than 2 (or else!!!). Maybe the savages have caught on.
Totally OT: The city has gone from 69 red light cams to 104 almost overnight. Austin Avenue on the north side seems to be hit hardest. Drive safely. If you seem me riding around without plates, you know why. I hate those things. When Daley leaves, hopefully indicted, he can take those things with him to watch his every move!
Why the CPD is in the sorry state it is in today.
Theory,
City's biggest problem is the the future pension liability. Billions of dollars in future liability if the pension situation remains the way it is for the largest group of city employees, fire and police.
Facts,
No recruits in the academy
No progress on the contract.
Fire is waiting to see what we get
People are still retiring at increased rates
The city has coveined commission to study
pension problem!
As many suspect FOP in bed with city as usual
To many problems to list.
Why is all this happening you ask?
My theory is the city is trying to make this the job so shitty that 30% to 40% of all po's of all rank just quit. Po's with 20+years and Po's with less that 5 years will just say fuck this job and walk away.
The next contract is going to totally suck balls.
Look for reduction in medical days for both iod and non iod injuies and minimal pay raise. compared with inflation this will equal a pay cut.
Once there is a mass exodus of po's of all rank in comes emergency merit promotions across the board.
Then the city implements the two tiered pension for new po's.
Next the city hires thousands of new po's and trains them to the minimum state standards. (its an emergency remember)
Where would they train all these recruits you ask? At the empty and underused McCormick place.
The final act, the city issues a bond issue to buy out all of our current pensions.
All said and done this saves the city billions of dollars.
Remember the line from the movie JFK, "follow the money".
I know you say we have pension rules and laws! But people make rules and laws and people change rules and laws.
The mayor controls the city, the county, the state, and the courts.
Final question.
Who is going to stop him???
Let's face it. The only head of a department in this city that gets things done despite the Mayor's efforts to debunk him, is the inpsector general David Hoffman.
WTF....some moron/s on the 4th were stealing American flags in the 22th District! Seven were stolen from my block alone.
Pulled 1 platoon from TRU sent them to the Taste the other platoon split in 2 to cover 004 that was to be covered by platoon sent to Taste and 007, shit hit the fan in in 007 with minimal cars to fend for themselves, at least 2 10-1's called thanks for help from 007 & 008
Huummm... Chaka Khan, Stevie Wonder, Fantasia...
You build it, and they will come.
And boy, did they come...
What kind of crowd do you think these performers would invite?
You can bet Country Fest will have no problems except for you occassional over indulger...
I wonder why....
Things that make you go hummm...
Kind of off the topic, but I saw the news yesterday and the uncle/ brother/nephew or whatever of the poor misaligned citizen that shot Francis the other night was being interviewed. According to him, she would "never, never, never, touch a gun. She was afraid of guns so he couldn't see how this could have happened. His explanation was that somewho she "snapped" because she wasn't taking some free drug our tax dollars supplied her with. I knew that kind of comment was coming, I was just suprised that it took so long to come to the surface. Lets all now pity her as she is just a confused citizen screwed by the system somehow. My balls!
what an embarrassment......the IOC must certainly be watching the mismanagement of of the CITY .
Some folks from England attending Taste were asking why the police didn't take care of the hooligans like back home in London ..I told to see richie daley at city hall and the Reverends.
Side note... how bad is the 10.25 % Chicago sales tax ??? another visitor from Europe was asking that the Chicago sales tax is so high .. is it like the European Value added tax that is refunded to visitors from other countries
J-Fraud needs a map. Lying to the press, he said that the shooting took place a mile away from the Taste.
BTW, where is his vest? Exempt?
Something that should be brought out is this is the advent of the Merit Bosses.
Meritocracy started in 1995 and now plenty have been ushered up the ladder from P.O. to commander. Just look around and see.
This is the type of Sh#t that always comes back and bites you in the A$$.
"...Tony Johnson, brother of Robin Johnson says...
Even if she did have a gun, why couldn't the officers shoot her in the arm or knock the gun out of her hand.
This just doesn't add up..."
You worthless piece of shit. It doesn't add up because you flunked math. Typical ghetto horseshit. Blame someone else instead of yourselves.
When will joe public get it through their thick stupid skulls that we are not trained to "shoot the gun out of peoples hands"? The brother of the offender that murdered PO Francis is an idiot, just like all the rest of them! get it through you thick skull, YOUR CRAZY SISTER MURDERED A CHICAGO POLICE OFFICER.
So I just watched Jody's press conferance. This is a sample of a few things I heard.
"Officers in covert status" = the illusion of safety
"tipping our hand" = we can not release exact numbers because we are very undermanned
"the taste is our primary concern" = keep attending and spending money and your on your own once you leave Grant Park
"i am new to the city" = this place is messed up beyond repair
I could go on......... who really cares though
"Let me explain Chicago in aviation terms:
Chicago is in an inverted flat spin that it entered at 1,000 feet, in a cloud bank... with a drunken baboon at the controls.
Chances for recovery are... negligible.

But does that baboon have clout?
warning: do not sniff mayor daleys rat ass. he still looks like he stinks.
Frank Gross's study group was horrible-total bullshit! Check and see how many people were promoted out of his group-hardly any. He and his class was a complete joke.
Never again.
They should let you drive tru the taste in your car like one of those drive-tru safaris.
7/05/2008 07:42:00 AM
Funny.
2 coppers were injured last night at 50th and Throop, their car was nailed by a drunk mexican in a navigator. He was absolutely loaded and was easily doing 70 plus when he blew the stop sign and hit the coppers, the PO driving was knocked out and his partner limped after the asshole when he tried to flee and caught him. Hope they are okay. I think they were Area 1 midnight gang guys not sure
7/05/2008 07:06:00 AM
Hey! That's the way they drive in Guadalahara Esse!
almost everyone is calling for the ousting of J fed but the same ones are saying his command staff is grossly incompetent, SO who should be suggested for the job?
Personally in the current command staff I would go with McNulty. I have been involved with him in several incidents, some major, some minor, and some just freakin crazy. He always keeps a cool head, and does what is best for those involved.
I wish that the media would use the freedom of information act to get the true number of police officers that are on the Department. They would see that there are approx 8200 uniform checks cut each check, meaning that is the number of officers on payroll. Given any day off and furloughs the city would be shocked to learn that there are only 4300 of us on the street. Talk about undermanned. When will Daley wake up?
C.A.P.S. WORKS!
CELEBRATE DIVERSITY!
Seems like a lot of these new SGTs are afraid of their own shadow. can we please send them back to their north side districts they came from?
2 Chicago officers hurt in car accident
Vehicle runs stop sign, hits squad car, police say
Tribune staff report
July 5, 2008
Two Chicago police officers were hurt Friday night after a vehicle ran a stop sign and hit their squad car on the South Side, police said.
The officers, members of the Area 1 Midnight Gang Team, were headed east on 50th Street at about 11 p.m. to answer a call when a driver ran a stop sign on South Throop Street and hit their car, police said. The driver ran away, but was arrested after a short chase, police said.
The officers were in stable condition at the University of Illinois Medical Center and expected to be released. The driver was in stable condition at St. Anthony Hospital.
No citations have been issued, police said.
================
He got a AggDui, and he fought the police when caught. so he got many charges...
Gave all authority to Dugan who did a great job.
++++++
Of course he did a great job. He knows his shit and knows how to back his people up. They're wasting his talent where he is right now. I was always happy to work for him.
Hey ya all... I thought COOTER was in the Fighty First ..can't he stop all this crap at the city Hootannany... Take the cuffs off COOTER... BRING BACK SOS
Everybody knows that we are short. Except the media. Thus we need to get their attention by writing to them and letting them know we are short on manpower.
Didn't see anything about the "man shot" after Friday's gunfire works fest. A number of young lads, black and spanish, gathered at Michigan and Randolph and decided who would shoot the other.
One shot in the back and windows shot out at 59 E. Randolph. Unless it appeared elsewhere I guess this was kept quiet, but news on scene.
and yes, we are becoming another Gary but we are still bigger. That's somethig to be proud of,
HEY MAYBE GARY WILL GET THE OLYMPCIS.
The "Waste of Chicago" shooting was nothing more than a dress rehearsal for the Olympics.
I love the way J-FRAUD made up man power at the taste
Saying that there are several officers working covertly
yeah right....
Just give the citizens a false sence of security.
Surprised the community leaders in the shit holes of the city arent yelling that their police officers were sent dowtown to direct traffic and show a presence
Lets get rid of Montique Bond, what an idiot, and find someone like Gator Bradley, he could feed the press the same bullshit but at least he could transalate the bullshit too.

They are just gettin started, wait till Barak Osama is in charge
I just hope our country survives, we already lost the city.
Whose idea was it not to have prisoner vans & wagons strategically placed out in the surrounding area of the Taste for the 003rd? Who's to blame? Cuello of Gross? WTF!!
All the manpower in the world will not matter. We can't kick ass anymore. Hands off per the libs. UUUUUUUUUUU got it.

Just shows you how sick & morally bankrupt he truly is...
We need someone with a magical flute, a bag of flammin' hots, and a can of grape pop, to lead them from the city before the Taste starts.
Naperville RibFest continues, no one shot or killed there yet.
I would love to know what the crime stats are for the 10 days of the T.O.C. inside and surrounding the park.
on 4 july abc 7 tracy bacca reported that no one in the past history of the tasta of chicago ever died from gunfire. whatt. 2 years ago 1 of the bucketboys died at jackson and wabash dumbass, and another was shot at state and jackson from stray gunfire at the bucketboys. have chuck do your investigating next time
Many years ago when I was a young officer, the Taste was loaded with cops. Many of us ate for free, and got time and a half. We didnt mind doing the extra things, checking coolers, tossing out shit bums, dispersing groups, etc. From what I see, alot of pissed off coppers without a contract, without direction, without giving a shit about the Taste of Chicago. But the same shit I heard over 20 yrs ago still applies: wear your hat this will reduce the violence and presence of danger. Glad this roller coater ride is almost over.
Beverly and Mt Greenwood
were the police at the 7-11????
Because the arabs that took over charge the cops for every little thing. When it was the White Hen, they took care of the cops, which kept them around, alot! I don't mind paying though

Where is all the money going for the budgeted P.O.s ?????????? Someone needs to open that up...... it will be in the millions !!!!!!!!! It seems like almost half our budget is for phantom P.O.s. Daley knows it won't matter anyway........ a thousand more p.o.s with their hands tied behind their backs can't effect a positive change anyway.
J-fed doesn't have two bodyguards, they were just two guys who lifted him up from under the command bus. He was in the fetal position crying and shouting, "Mommy help me I wet my pants. There are boogy men all over".
Just letting everyone know that the Mickey Cobra's are starting to reorganize and recruit more "people." They're veining for turf in 002, 003, 005, 007, 009, 021 and even heard they're trying to take control of the row houses in 018.
to be even more specific I'll give some beats:
223, 234, 312, 321, 334, 511, 531, 711, 715, 735, 935, 2113 and 2124
it's about to get even more bloody - but most of all we must be careful.
just giving the heads up
Somewhere between 11am and 6pm the top brass thought it may be a contract violation to bring back the tact teams, which is would not have been, so they told them to all stay home and their 15 minutes was their tour of duty.
It is a contract violation to detail a team out of their area... They have to pay Time & 1/2.
Read your contact!
Someone please explain tho these new P.O.'s that you do not call a 10-1 unless YOU a P.O. is getting your ass kicked. Back in the day the responding P.O.s
**It wasn't the PO's that were calling 10-1's it was the white shirts. Who's the goofy CO of Traffic... the female? She calls a 10-1 for a large crowd fighting and then gives a disregard 30 seconds later. It was the bosses who don't have a clue that were calling 10-1's.
I would like a few words. I work tac in 001, been there a few years. The 3rd is always a pain in the ass. I would just like to say thank you to all the officers I saw responding to the 10-1's. Other calls I give a fuck about, let the savages do what they do until Daley gets a clue. I went to at least a dozen 10-1's and every time I went, I saw lots of blue. Kudos to you all. Remember we go home safe together, or we mourn with one less. Thanks for all the help.
001 tac
OT....can someone post what the uniform of the day will be for Officer Francis' funeral.
**Wool hat pants blouse tie white gloves
just left tac and went back to the watch. main reason was because of the scary bullshit related by the big bosses. no more bullshit arests for me that might result in lawsuits that dont get backed by our so called fraternity or bosses. signed complaints only for me for awhile.

Nice thought.
Only problem is, this ain't no fucking comic book.
Regarding the 1st district, its been that way for a loooong time. There are boatloads of people assigned to 2nd watch, and lots of outside units assigned to the Loop area for daytime hours.
But in the 90s, before most of the current population in 001 was in place, midnights would have a few wagons, a bunch of 99 beat cars, maybe 1 or 2 10-4 beat cars, an 108 for traffic and tows, and an 06 car.
The watch was very senior and they would take care of whatever they had to take care of, but it was always this >< close to a disaster. Thing is, 018 across the river on 1st watch has a whole bunch ot troopers, and they'd be called out in a second if they were needed for something on 1st watch in 001.
On the other hand, the only time I remember significant cross-border assistance was actually 106, a coupla wagons, and 1 or 2 beat cars being sent TO 018 for the Comfort Zone disturbance in '95.
Just a guess, but I always was under the impression that a couple young guys in good graces and in need of a break were brought into 001 outside of bid, and told they'd have their run of 001 on 1st watch (not a bad gig 364 or so nights a year) as long as they took care of anything that required their attention. Sorta like being asked to be gunners on a retirement watch. Not a bad gig, and they seemed to handle it well.
But the poster is right. 001 itself ain't exactly swimming in beat coppers on 3rd or 1st.
We need outside help at next year’s Taste. Will the following people please mark your calendar for next year:
Jesse Jackson
Michael Pfleger
Neil Steinberg
Rev Meeks
Mary Mitchell
Rev. Wright
Rev. Robin Hood
Ike Carothers
and Little Richie
We would like to see you break up the little disturbances like the one that was shown on TV with 30 gang bangers in white shirt fighting with about the same number fighting in red shirts. That’s how most CPS schools look like at dismissal. Since you all abhor guns I would like all of you to do this unarmed. So Richie could you leave the 20 armed bodyguards at home! We will stay about 100 yards away, If gunfire breaks out we will save your limousine liberal ass! You all know how to talk shit lets see if you can walk the walk! Funny I did not too many kids in those fights from Niles or Palos Park or Park Ridge either.
J-Fed mark you calendar too! It will be just about the same time your Probation ends
Re: the aftermath of the murder... Weis flew into A/3, talked to the family a few minutes and left the responding/shooting po's in his wake.
Rules are different now, y'know. Nobody's supposed to talk to the po's til the IPRA is there. Po's are supposed to be separated til they talk to them. Nobody's supposed to be able to console them or just be with them. Total bs.
The bosses were pretty decent about everything. McNulty was a prince, as usual. Knows his stuff and got the job done with his usual great attitude.

I've got a couple of suggestions for next year's Taste.
1. No one is allowed to enter who has the belt line of their pants situated below their stomach.
2. No one with a first name that does not appear on the list of the 100 most popular names for babies published every year around 1 April.
3. No one without a pay stub indicating they are employed. Welfare checks are not accepted.
4. No one making stupid signs with their fingers.
5. No one with hair that looks like a road map of the wine country of southern France.
6. Etc!

No need for all that, ask Special K to take charge like he does at his church. I'm sure will get rid of all the dangerous criminals!
J Fed you let this guy run the taste. I should be in charge of the special forces in Iraqi.

scc of subject: I heard from a source Unique Bonds fumbled the ball with the tribune. She actually stated the dicks were checking to see if the late p/o was killed by FRIENDLY FIRE.
This is TRUE I saw it in the Trib on 04 Jul. SCC please link to the Trib story, it is unbelievable!!!!

This would have to be checked out so no sleezeball Johnny Cochran wanna-be lawyer can plant a seed of doubt. Best to be prepared.
My city water and sewer bill just came in and another big increase.
Thank-you Richard Fucking Daley!!!
Why are coppers so cheap?

obviously it didn't work because there was another shooting: randolph and michigan.
9 shot city wide 1 homicide. 3 separate shootings in 010
7/05/2008 08:54:00 AM
Well 010 is about to get all they can handle with the gang unit being deployed to the taste of chicago. Don't 001 have a gang unit? I'm sure all the bangers on 31st street are happy to know they get a free pass. Who makes these idiodict decisions! Can only be one guy. That guy! Special K. Asshat!
wait until daley's brother becomes governer

I was detailed to the Waste of Shitghetto last nite and would just like to thank the gangbangers for allowing us to have the streets back. I felt really proud and safe and the site of the Great Gazoo riding on his segway to lead us just made me feel proud inside. It was so nice that the shitheads allowed us to have our moment.
7/05/2008 11:20:00 AM
Maybe the problem is the shit head on the segway! No planning! Could be from lack of leadership skills. He has one skill down pretty good, sucking DALEYS A$$!
Barack Obama Bin-Laden says---
When I am elected Califate of the Islamic States of America, any person who defiles a woman while chanting my name will have his hand cut off.
The woman will also be punished, per Islamic law, for putting herself into a situation that allows this crime to happen.
Change you can believe in.
I say we all go to James Special K Keating's church this sunday and pray that next years Taste of Chicago doesn't turn out like this! Because, I like being in places where I can feel real safe.
Last week, Joliet police charged seven gangbangers for the murder of a father of two young boys caught in the crossfire of a ganger shootout.
All seven were given bonds, ranging from $1-3 million dollars.
Why can't this happen in Chicago?
Heard all the music catered to the folks of the W/Side and S/Side.
Even the liberals are seeing first hand that they were wrong.
Daley' old man is turning over watching what his kid allows the ghetto rats to do to this once great city/
Jody, I'm in a covert status when I'm working a beat in a marked car on the West Side.
I'm more covert than Waldo!
Where were all the P.O.'s with their M4's?
7/05/2008 06:56:00 AM
The only M4 you'll ever see on this department is if you have a partner named Avila or Gonzales or something.
Holy Death Arrangements Batman!!!
In response...to...
"i rather die being fucking honest."
There is nothing honest about being dead. Death is meaningless. Life is everything! And commonsense is needed to enjoy a great life.
The herd of thugs video taped acting the fool at the fountain were black, but I have seen ... White and Asian youths act like thugs too.

try that skinheaded nazi that was recently locked up for killing eight people, how's that for starters?
and what about sgt SS and her satan disciple boyfriend!
or howsabout Mike Spaar...wait aminnit I'm getting beyond myself
or Jerry finnigan, anthony abbate, whew the list goes on...
July 4 in Beverly Park a group of maybe one hundred thugs decide Beverly is a better location for a party of one hundred than any other park in Englewood.
Cars parked inside the park on the grass. Grills going. Fireworks. Drinking alcohol and pissing all over the park.
Many calls. 2220 shows up and does nothing.
All is lost.
7/05/2008 05:20:00 AM
If it was a hundred white people (and possibly Beverly residents) they would have been rounded up, ticketed, and thrown out. Once again, the rules only apply to whites. If this really happened, the supervisor in 22 is a fucking asshole and political cock sucking hack.
7/05/2008 10:23:00 AM
Just because he's a sgt., he's an asshole? Sounds like a 99 officer in a busy district who didn't want to deal with 100 assholes by himself. Read this blog, NO MANPOWER, NO CONTRACT, NO WORK!!
Totally OT: The city has gone from 69 red light cams to 104 almost overnight. Austin Avenue on the north side seems to be hit hardest. Drive safely. If you seem me riding around without plates, you know why. I hate those things. When Daley leaves, hopefully indicted, he can take those things with him to watch his every move!
-----------------------------------
Does anyone know or have an idea of how many red light cameras are in the 11th ward? Just curious.
"The herd of thugs video taped acting the fool at the fountain were black, but I have seen Hispanic, White and Asian youths act like thugs too."

Yep, Chinatown is a madhouse, Lincoln Square has blood poring in the streets nightly, even Little Village which is full of illegals and hardcore bangers can't compare. There's is a huge difference between stereotypes and what we see happening in front of out own eyes. Nobody said that all blacks are thugs and that all other races are angels but all of the shootings have at least one noticeable thing in common.
Somewhere between 11am and 6pm the top brass thought it may be a contract violation to bring back the tact teams, which is would not have been, so they told them to all stay home and their 15 minutes was their tour of duty.

No they don't, when you are on a team you forego the contract, they can be sent anywhere at anytime, day off cancelled etc....

Working 3rd watch in the 001 District really has me scratching my head. Most of the cars are 99 most of the time. You'd think for this weekend that they would beef up the watch and have fully manned - 10/4 units?! Nope. The night of the shootings. 99. Officer who on-viewed the shootings...99. Many other responding vehicles 99. Officer who got the paper dumped on....99. At least they made sure all the desk spots were covered for the weekend! Last night, the day after the shootings. 2 cars downed. Everyone else... 99! Officer Safety in the "Fightin First"? Non-existent. God Forbid there's ever a terrorist attack (or anything mildly worse than this shooting) in 001. Maybe all the house cats will be pushed out the front door with a broom and told to actually be the police?
7/05/2008 11:14:00 AM
----------------------------------
also in 001--2 po's at city hall, 2 po's at the mayor's house(from 001 , not the mayors detail) 1 po to relieve the mayors detail (lunches), 1 po to sit in the processing area and do nothing. 4-5 po's on the desk along with 1 sgt. also 001 always has 1-2 cars at mercy hospital sitting on tact's homeless criminal trespass arrest from the ickes. the above post is correct--at least 1/2 the beat cars are 99.
The whole city is up for grabs. 018 had a melee tonight...10-1 came out... tons of stuff was hurled at the po's in typical ghetto fashion, with one exception-a baby stroller (empty) also was hurled at the officers. Just when you think you've seen it all! And IPRA was conducting interviews within an hour.... man, if only the ET's would come out that fast! Stay safe folks, it's gonna be a loooong summer!
"...How about that skin-head Nazi...Abatte...Finnigan..."
They wouldn't be considered youths.

Remember what Cuello said at a meeting. We work for Chicago police and we can be sent anywhere they deem necessary. Forget loyalty, hard work, knowledge of your area. Shut up and follow orders from our great leaders.

This is merely a wise and prudent homicide investigation, cover all bases, eliminate all possibilities. Needs to be done, doesn't need to be publicized. Have that portion of the investigation covered for the eventual usual knuckleheads claiming the police shot their own. The States Attorney can then say "Oh no they didn't and here is the proof..."
Just standard investigative procedure I would expect in a situation like that.
