Nice Target Shirts, Target Inc!
An "unfortunate" choice of sponsor in the opinions of our readers:
- Superintendent Jody Weis says despite the latest murders, Chicago is on pace to have the fifth lowest homicide rate in the last 43 years.
Weis made the comments Saturday morning while announcing a new CAPS program called C.I.T.Y., or Cops Interaction Targeting Youth.
C.I.T.Y. is an athletic program is geared to children ages 11 to 14 to help them make the transition between grades. Approximately, 60 kids take part in flag football and other sports every week.
The space is provided by Chicago Indoor Sports, and Target is providing uniforms and equipment.

Read the article.
Note the boldfaced section
Look at the t-shirts that say "Target" and have the nice little logo placed exactly where a bullet can do maximum damage.
Giggle at the irony.
With SCC results of the "HAMSTERDAM POLL" of Nov. 7th now in with a total of 1,063 votes, TARGET has decided to award several thousand T-shirts with their enlarged bullseye logo to the three highest scoring districts:
In a tie for first runner-up, Districts 007 and 015.
And the winner is (drum roll please)...
011 - FILLMO'!
Typical in politics...
Rule #1 when asked a question that you can't be answered correctly, shift subjects. I.E. what do you think about the shortage of P.O.'s and the homicide rate???
Well we have a great out reach program targeting the kids...
If you cant answer them honestly, then dazzle them with bullshit..
Nice Job
Could someone please tell the Liberals that a sports program is no way out of the 'hood.
Learning to read, write, and possibly picking up a vocational skill is the only solution.
I hear that they stole the idea from the cpd soccer team. I went to their web page and they have a similar program. I kind of like their acronym K.I.C.K.S. Who came up with the acronym city. Cops targeting youth sounds like pervs.
Not a cop but a fan.

Off topic, but can apply here also.
Article about officers in the Detroit area writing many more tickets (must be on the orders of the city management)

Funny shit! looks like chicagos motto makes it easier to "hit the target", we should pass them out to all gang bangers hopefully would improve accuracy and kill the people who kill the innocents!
Ceasefire? More like "bullseye"..
I think the Mayor and Alderman should give themselves another raise for this stupid fuckin achronym.
C old blooded
I nmates
T argeting
Y outh
yep he is right on target!
My son, and his friends play football at the local school yard, and basketball in the alley on the hoop I installed on the garage.
Its nice and safe. I know where he is at. NO PROBLEMS
A new low in cynical, even for you, SCC.
YELLOW IS SO GREEN BAY!
Much ado about nothing..
You don't really believe that the gangbangers aim, do you?
If they did that they would be able to hit that small of a target.
Now if the Target logo was say, 8-10" in diameter, it would have been something.
Seems there may be a little inadvertent porn happening in that pic! Dude bent over and the other young lad fixing his drawers?
I'm just saying.
If I were the Keesing Bandit I'd sue the Dept! They flagrantly used an acronym he's been using for years!
C.I.T.Y.
In this case though Keesing uses it to succinctly say "Can I Touch You?"
I'll bet that Target originally wanted their logo to be a lot bigger, but somebody with a brain realized the subliminal message that might represent.
Make me wanna watch Animal House again!
Bluto: "BLOWJOB!"
Delta House Brothers: (Under their breath) "Blowjob! Blowjob!
I imagine that my kids will not be able to take advantange of this program because we live in 016. It sure would be nice to have some elementary school gyms in 016 open at night and weekends, so my kids can play indoor basketball, hockey, etc. Target can keep their shirts. Also I'm still waiting for my Bears tickets for taking my kids to school on the first day.
Off Topic: Has anyone read the FAX on the Washington D.C. Detail.
You have to have a scheduled 1,1a,1b, or scheduled baby furlough (not C/U ETC..) in Januarary. Your TO/FROM has to be in by 18 November. First the majority of people with 1 a 1b Furloughs are coppers with 2 years on the job, and second most districts arent picking furloughs til later this month. What are they thinking. No Supervisors? No mention of compensation?
This blog is really stretching for good material lately. I think no matter what anyone does to better themselves or the community you guys will rip them for it. Will the program work? Probably not, but stranger things have happened.
Here enjoy the future youth SCC

Maybe they can supply the new Target skull caps too
Don't worry. They can't hit what they're shooting at anyway. It's probably the best idea to come out of those idiots in quite some time.
Remember the "Chicago: Murder Capitol of the USA" pins from back in 2003?
Anyone selling a new edition? Neighbors saw my old one and want to purchase an '08 version if available.
Great another bullshit waste of manpower. Where are they going to get the 500 or so in this unit? Ever notice how the majority of these units have more personnel than most districts??
Great Idea! I wonder who they stole this from??? Here's a clue it's called K.I.C.K.S. ran by the CPD soccer team for the last 3 years at the same location none the less.

OMG! That's classic. A Target Logo on the center of back of the youths shirts. LMFAO
just pissed myself
GOOD NEWS: None of the over THIRTY, armed valets who drive the Mayor and his family around will be re-assigned to protecting the citizens who pay their saleries.
Meanwhile Mayor shortshanks is still against Chicagoans owning firearms. All except his endless bodyguards, of course.
I think no matter what anyone does to better themselves or the community you guys will rip them for it. Will the program work? Probably not, but stranger things have happened.
Nice reading comprehension Sherlock.
We weren't critiquing the program. We were pointing out the t-shirts given to supposedly "at-risk" youth with a freaking target on the backs.
A new low in cynical, even for you, SCC.
Did someone spray Moron Gas in here? It's a freaking target on the back of a t-shirt that's supposed to worn by at-risk youths in a police-run program. Who can't see the humor in that?

no but programs like this instill some sort of structure and interaction with non hood rats. Which can be used to better themselves.
Hey 7:53 P.M. go fuck yourself.I am proud to be a miserable malcontent...it makes me happy.When your young ass figures this city out it will be to late for you too.

Defend it all you want, it's not so goddamned funny if it's your kid. If you laughed at this "humor", it might be time for you to do a little personal reflection.
I'm not a dreaded Liberal, not by a long shot, but if just ONE kid decides to do something positive with his life instead of slingin', then I say "Success" !
SCC, did you giggle in class every time the teacher used the words "sack" or "head" too?
011 FILMORE...haha its not evening a training district anymore...That says it all!

Once again asshat, we never critiqued the program. Hopefully, TWO kids decide to do something positive with their lives instead of slingin'.
But if you can't see the ironic humor in a simple photograph, we truly feel sorry for your humorless life.
011 FILMORE...haha its not evening a training district anymore...That says it all!
Which is a joke in itself, it definitely should be....
If the secret service knew how screwed up this detail is, they would fire the CPD and hire their own security to block the street. HQ, like always, has no clue how to run an operation. Are there any Lt.'s on this detail? How about a Capt.? Exempt Member maybe? I only see Sgt's and P.O.'s pull miracles out of their ass to get these details to work.
There are many officers who devote there time and energy to park district and school programs. They are the back bone of this department, the unsung heroes. This is just a publicity stunt.
I would like to take this time to congratulate Crook County Sheriff Tom Dart for making that dog fighting pinch with his guys. Maybe now he can work on solving the hundreds of unsolved Murders and other Felonies in Crook County. He also has my nomination as "BUTT-PLUG of the YEAR-2008" Good thing Shitcago is around to take the heat off of him. Perhaps a Meeting with Stroger, Lisa Madigan, Daley, Durbin,Jesse White, and Alvarez will get to the bottom of how to stop all this violent crime. They will probably feel that more taxes for the Law-Abiding will help, as usual.
If you need a city sponsored youth program to keep your life straight your in trouble. You probably already have bigger problems. Oh yeah Obama's president he'll take care of us.
I'm not a dreaded Liberal, not by a long shot, but if just ONE kid decides to do something positive with his life instead of slingin', then I say "Success" !

I agree with this guy SCC, this is way out of line. LET ANY CHILD PROGRAM THROUGH! If it doesn't work, at least the kids had a good time. This was a cheep shot on your end SCC. The public reads this stuff, show some comassion.

No but maybe the fuckin department can acknowledge some of the good that p.o.s do off duty. Instead of paying more attention to the negative propaganda of the liberal obama loving media. Makes me sick. If you are going to take an idead at least give credit where it is due. all i'm saying.
60 KIDS!!!!!! THATS IT? HOW MANY GANG BANG-ERS ARE REGISTERED.... WHATS THE POINT IN WASTING TIME AND MONEY ON THESE TYPES OF PROGRAMS FOR KIDS WHO ARE DOING WELL ALL ON THERE OWN AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO EVEN WITHOUT THIS STUPID CONCEPT. BETTER YET, KEEP PUTTING RESOURCES INTO PROGRAMS LIKE THIS AND CONTINUE TO SCREW THE COPPERS AND YOU'LL SEE THESE KIDS WONT STAND A CHANCE IN THE CITY STREETS. CAN ANYONE TAKE CHARGE AT HQ WITH SOME BALLS AND GET THE BLUE SHIRTS BACK TO A WORKABLE ENVIRONMENT????? LOL

My kid doesn't need a city program because he has parents who take time to raise and teach him. If your kid is in the program I suggest you get off the computer and go teach him that it's wrong to shoot people and sell drugs. But what do I know, I'm just another sucker who works for a living.

Is this why they dumped the SGT. from CPD?
Target hates the Police.
Be careful!
I imagine that my kids will not be able to take advantange of this program because we live in 016. It sure would be nice to have some elementary school gyms in 016 open at night and weekends, so my kids can play indoor basketball, hockey, etc.
I agree. Why can't we have these free programs in 016? It would be nice if all parts of the city were treated equal. Isn't this discrimination? Anyone know a good lawyer? LOL

If you're serious, yeah, OK Short Bus. Once again, and for the last time: the post was poking fun at a t-shirt.
If you're being sarcastic, then "Haha. Good one!"
Defend it all you want, it's not so goddamned funny if it's your kid.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
My "Kid" doesn't need sponsored programs to stop him from slinging dope and shooting on the streets. I involve myself in his life and decisions, and provide family guidance on issues.
That's why he doesn't have a bullseye on him...lol...did I say that?
I have never said C.I.T.Y. Can I touch you!
But I wish I had.
Now, kees me you fool!!!
753 pm-- miserable malcontents ????-- if so what does that make you as you are also reading here. i hope you are not the police-- if you are you be the prima donna who's 99 every night because nobody can take your sniveling for 8.
