Hegewisch Shooting
Officer (possibly a sergeant) not seriously wounded:
- Officials tonight are investigating a police-involved shooting in the Hegewisch neighborhood in which an officer also was shot but not seriously injured.The incident occurred at about 9 p.m. in the 13400 block of South Burley Avenue. An officer and a man exchanged gunfire, each striking the other, said Chicago Police Officer John Henry.
Mark Payne, spokesman for the Independent Police Review Authority, was on the scene at about 10:15 p.m. and confirmed that both a police officer and "another individual" had been hit by gunfire. Investigators recovered a handgun at the scene he said and are still trying to determine the circumstances that led to the shootings and how many people were involved.
Be careful out there people.

That sgt. is a really good guy. I hope jagoff dies. Take some time off sarge, you deserve it.
This is getting out of control!! We need JUDY to let us be the F'IN POLICE and take care of this shit. Look out for each other!! We are all we have. Best of luck and a quick recovery to the Officer.
BE SAFE!!!!
i that officer/sgt is ok, and a speedy recovery. Time for a seatbelt mission.
More on Michelle Obama. All the wives were involved - Rita Rezko, Patti Blagojevich, Michelle Obama, and others. The scheme goes like this:
1. If you want to do business with the state, you have to know the right people.
2. In order for the right people to approve you for business, you must contribute to their campaign fund.
3. If you contribute enough, your wife will also get a (paid) seat on a state board.
4. These various state boards, such as the Health Facilities Planning Board, Illinois State Toll Highway Authority, Cook County Employees Appeals Board, State Gaming Board, control who does business with the state.
5. Repeat.
6. Get caught.
And then there are all the incestuous relationships on non-state boards that the wives are rewarded with.
This scheme comes up in the Blago tapes, involving Michelle and Rita. Seems Blago had reason to believe Obama would do something nice for Patti Blago. Where would he get an idea like that? Awfully presumptious, unless it was based on experience.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the wounded Sgt and his family. I hope he makes a complete recovery.
PLEASE be safe out there.

POLICE INVOLVED SHOOTING ===== HOW BOUT POLICE SHOT AT
This city is a crime ridden shit hole thanks to that piece of shit Daley and all the political hacks.When the scum shoots at the police on an almost weekly basis you and your city are fucked.And if you think you are safe in Edison park or Mt. Greenwood wake up and drive around at 3 A.M. and see whats crawling around in the hood.
Thank God The Sgt will be okay. Fucking Hegewisch. The scumbags are really bold out here because their is no police presence or service. I'm not second guessing but the problem in Hegewisch could have been nipped in the butt a long long time ago. But the streets belong to the scumbag gang bangers and dope dealers and they know it. They are ballsy enough to shoot a cop on top of it. Alderman Pope doesn't give a shit. He does nothing. Dickhead Daley obviously doesn't care about officer safety. If he did, he would hire the 2-3,000 officers we're short. How about the new commander of 4. Are you going to step up and put an end to all the burglaries, thefts, home invasions, armed robberies, auto thefts, gang banging and dope dealing in Hegewisch? Well, what you going to do? Are you going to sit on your hands and shuffle stats and paper like all the rest? Damn shame since about 90% of Hegewisch residents are good decent people. A lot of city workers and Vets too. This is like a broken record, me bitching about no police in Hegewisch buts unfortunately it's the truth.
third time offender shot at the police in 3 and half weeks. Thank god all are fine. When are the courts going to follow through and the judges hammer the offenders. Stay safe and be alert
A man from the trailer park swears that he saw a Great White Shark in Wolf Lake.
Has Animal Control and the Marine Unit been notified?
I live in the Gwisch and it has always been a great neighborhood, but things are noticably changing. There is more trouble up town over the past few years yet not much patrol. Over the summer, there was a party going on down the block from me. Loud Spanish music playing all day and into the night. About 12:15 am my brother heard some commotion outside and saw a bunch of guys beating up a female in the street. Then cars drove by and people were jumpin out and fighting. He called the police....None showed up until 1:30 am. I have a police scanner to listen to what is going on....and when they cop drove by...he just said "there is nothing going on here...party seems to have broken up." Unfortunately it isn't safe to help someone in need any more, and even more unfortunately is the fact that a good neighborhood is going to go bad because of a lack of law enforcement. The warzone neighborhoods are getting all the patrols, and they are still undermanned, and the good ones are being neglected and are starting to go bad too. I guess it is more important to shine the bean downtown than get more police to protect us.
Tac Sgt. was shot in his handcuff case!!! Scumbag offender is paralyzed from the waist down!
MOTHERFUCKERS! Was it last week in 010 copper shot? Not to mention all the other coppers shot at this year and our fallen brethren, God bless their souls, who were shot and killed this year. Please don't hesitate. Let's make their families cry and mourn and not ours.
Nothing on the news last night or this morning about this.NOTHING.
HOPE YOU ARE OK OFFICE.
To all bad guys, stop shooting at the police, start shooting at elected officials. They are the ones keeping you own.
Carry, carry, carry!
Our lives have 0 value, dead piece of shit worth millions.
Sgt. doing well. Badguy unfortunately is also. He is a Latin King POS! Good shoot.
This could have been a severe tragedy. The sgt was extremely lucky. This is happening too much to us these last few weeks. No matter how petty the call, back-up is important. We need to come to our families.
Jody...we need more police. Dickie D. FU.
time to keep the 433 car in bt 433, not in the friggen 10 sector all the time. that goes for 434 too. 004 gets shit on all the time because the district is too damn big and has to pull all the police service from the south end to deal with the understaffed north end.
This is getting out of control!! We need JUDY to let us be the F'IN POLICE and take care of this shit.
----------------------------------
just what is it you would do?
the real problem is that the whole city is a corrupt sewer. its not surprising it bubbles over now and then.
This may be the direct result of all the suggestions writers sent on this blog to lay down and don't work. Since the arrests and aggressive police work have declined, has anyone noticed that the assaults on us cops has increased? No one is cared of the police. Maybe, just maybe, we need to go out and lock everyone up. Don't do anything illegal. Don't get goofy like the old SOS retards. But lock everyone up you can...for anything you can. Hurt the city with the overtime and court time. And maybe the jagoffs on the street will start to fear us a bit again. They haven't, for a long time, because city hall and our bosses have cut our balls off. We have to, for our own preservation, start to control the streets again. Jonathan Rubenstein, in his book City Police, about cops, stated: For the patrolman the street is everything. If he gives that up, he gives up the very reason for being what he is.
Be safe.

same goes with all of 016, however nothing will change. people will just come here and complain on the blog. take a few mins to drive around your hood when going to & from work.
this superintendent has to go, these gangs think they can shoot at police because the y gonna get paid by the city, no more drop the gun shoot these pricks every chance you get, we need to be the old school real police again, fuck it flood ops with complaints, they will just throw their hands up and leave the job, Jody get your ass on the street and b the real police, not with your entrouage ,but by your self like us supervisors and the one man cars,
Police in Hegewisch have to look out for their own. Carry when you go to the store, walk the dog,Etc. etc. seems like we are the only police we see these days. I see 433sometimes or 495 but most times it's Dicks from A2, or the off duty guys I see when I am up town or in the park. We need to look out for our own. Most days 004 cars are up in the 20 or 10 sector serving the non taxpayers.
IPRA HAS A SPOKESMAN!?!
CMON I THOUGHT THE CITY WAS GOING THRU TOUGH TIMES!
CANT MISS HOTTY (DA MAYORS SPY) DO THAT JOB TOO?
I RATHER C PETERSON DO A NEWS CONFERENCE.
Are you going to step up and put an end to all the burglaries, thefts, home invasions, armed robberies, auto thefts, gang banging and dope dealing in Hegewisch?
Is Hegewisch the only neighborhood in the 4th district, because I live in 4 and I believe that is happening district wide. Ooops I forgot the cityworkers that reside in other sections dont count.

Seriously though, no undesirables to report. You think we'd let that happen? It's interesting how we've had a select few minorities and white trash come and go, but they never stay long, and you never see them moving out. Wonder why that is?
Probably because we give a shit about where we live, and luckily since mostly cops live here anyway, they're willing to look the other way when things need to happen.

Malverne Police Dept. Loses Out On 22 'Bogus' Holidays
December 18, 2008

"When are the courts going to follow through and the judges hammer the offenders.......
12/19/2008 12:02:00 AM"
Once these shitheads make it to court, ie., are arrested, charged and arraigned, the window of opportunity that is the only effective means to 'solve the problem' has closed.
Sarge sounds like he responded by himself and help was a long way off as usual in 004. All the police on the North end with nobody policing the lawlessness that goes on in Hegewisch now. What's it going to take to get the police to patrol Hegewisch? A cop just got shot. Is this going to step things up or does it take somebody getting killed, civilian or officer until something is done. Its a damn shame that Hegewisch is up for grabs. WTF !#$%^
"The scumbags are really bold out here because their is no police presence or service. I'm not second guessing but the problem in Hegewisch could have been nipped in the butt a long long time ago. But the streets belong to the scumbag gang bangers and dope dealers and they know it.......

So, since there is '...no police presence...' and, thus, '...the streets belong to the scumbag gang bangers and dope dealers and they know it.', does the phrase 'two-edged sword' have any meaning to you?
Or the phrase 'cuts both ways'?

Former CPD Paul Bacarella prepares to fight the Chicago Residency Rule
The Directors of the Municipal Advocate General are convening in Park Ridge, Illinois to confer with Attorney Russ Stewart determining the best course of action for Paul Bacarella.
Paul Bacarella is a decorated Chicago Police Officer that has put his life on the line day after day to make Chicago safe from crime.
Chicago rewarded him by termination.
I went through Paul's file and was impressed by the many awards he received for valor.
Chicago needs more Police Officers like Paul.
Paul was paid back by having a residency investigation that only found him in the suburbs.
On a personal level, I know the pain he has gone through, the Investigators have a habit of never finding you except where they are told to find you.
I hope at the end of the day today, we can chart a course to overturn Chicago Residency Requirements, and allow Chicago Americans to stop being pawns for Daley's political system.
Mayor Daley vigorously defends the rule. He once said, "If I'm mayor, should I live in Waukegan? If it's good enough to work and earn your salary, it's good enough to live."
Well I hate to tell an idiot like Mayor Daley, but he is an elected official and by law he must be a resident.
In fact politicians are allowed to run in districts they are not an actual resident in.
Mayor Daley has a habit of traveling around the globe and allowing his friends and pals to pay his way.
Mayor Daley is not an actual resident in Chicago as he spends a vast amount of time outside the country.
I think many of the other major cities in America have figured out the waste of money following its workers, and have concentrated on investigating the millions wasted on corruption and theft.
I think in Paul's case a great injustice has burdened this man long enough.
Based on Paul's record, I hope many other actual residents and city workers are not accused of residency violation when Daley and his goons finger a Paul's position for someone else.
I hope many people read this story and help us change the system. I was always for the Residency Requirement in Chicago, but too many stories like this mean we need to change the rule. Photo by Patrick McDonough"

Good job M.O.. Hegewisch, Mount Grenwood, and other areas have a lack of police under the new policy. The MSF and TRU are all sent to the same old places. Personnel are drawn from patrol and sent everywhere and its happening with the gang teams. As for you Northsiders and your Milk and Honey, beware because its coming your way. The only difference, you paid 425 for your shack.

"Most days 004 cars are up in the 20 or 10 sector serving the non taxpayers"
That statement is so biased, last time I checked there are plenty of nontaxpayers in the 30 sector also. As a matter of fact I believe there are plenty of people living in the 10 sector who have annual incomes much greater than those living in the 30 sector. Obviously if you work in the 004th district you don't know much about the entire districts demographics. I grew up in 004 and still live in 004. I began my career in the 004th district 20 years ago, and worked there 10 years, I have seen the changes but if you must speak about it speak the truth!
"Jody get your ass on the street and b the real police, not with your entrouage ,but by your self like us supervisors and the one man cars,"

"When are the courts going to follow through and the judges hammer the offenders.......
The courts are not the solution. They are the problem. The SH's know that when they get to court, nothing will happen to them and they can manipulate the system to their advantage and put the cops on the defensive.
In the olden days (late 1970's to about 1983) they SH's wouldn't try it because they knew what would happen:
They would be standing on the street or walking. 2-3 unmarked cars with plates removed, 3-4 guys each, no stars, no name tags, get out, thump out a little street justice, slide into the dark.

WOW. I once lived in Edison park also. You my friend are living under a rock. The only reason you don't see the "undesirables" is that you are too busy looking at the pink elephants along with the alderman when you are also leaving the bar at 3am. I guess ignorance is bliss.
The police have been shot at so many times in these past few months it's ridiculous. In the last couple incidents however, the bulletproof vest has made all the difference. I know most of us wear them, but I also know there are some old timers, plain clothes guys etc..that don't. Please take that lesson from all of this. I know they aren't guaranteed to save your life, but it does happen.... and thank God. Believe me, I understand that sometimes wearing the vest can "compromise" your identity as a police officer when you're doing certain things. But think about your family at those times. The bad guys will always be there. Make sure you put youself and your family first. God Bless and stay safe.

First of all, good shoot sarge and get well soon. Glad you came out on top in that one. Second, when are the three unions (FOP, PBPA Sgts, PBPA Cpt&Lt) going to get off their asses and hold a vote of no confidence for J-FUCK? I know it is a symbolic gesture but when all three come back with 99% no confidence maybe someone will look at this ass and get rid of him.

Former CPD Paul Bacarella prepares to fight the Chicago Residency Rule
---
This has been fought before and the City has always won. It is simple, it is a condition of employment and all PO's sign a paper noting their acknowledgment of this rule.
The City years ago had a law passed that denies police officers in cities of over one million population (there is only one in Illinois) the right to collective bargaining on the issue of residency.
For anything to happen on this issue the state law denying us collective bargaining on the residency issue must be overturned. The FOP has tried. They had a bill sponsored which would have given us the right to bring this issue to the contract table. Without the City's approval the bill died. That is that.
The officer can fight the good fight but unless he can somehow break some new legal ground that no one has thought of before, it is unlikely he will prevail. This is not new, offices have tried fighting this before. And they have all failed. That little state law stands in the way. Remove that and we can then bring it to the bargaining table during contract talks.
Police in Hegewisch have to look out for their own. Carry when you go to the store, walk the dog,Etc. etc. seems like we are the only police we see these days.

Maybe you should drive through the district and not just jump off the expressway and head home. The bangers living south of Portage Park are all over Irving after dark. Almost everywhere you saw a for rent sign is now a candidate for the troubled building program.
time to keep the 433 car in bt 433, not in the friggen 10 sector all the time. that goes for 434 too. 004 gets shit on all the time because the district is too damn big and has to pull all the police service from the south end to deal with the understaffed north end.
i agree bt. 433 should stay on the beat but you do know that bt. 433 consists of more than just hegewisch..at least you see beat 433 sometimes....i live on bt 433 but not hegewisch and i never see the beat car unless they are at the mall
ZERO, ZILCH, NADA, 0 coverage of this on any of the news channels. nobody gives a fuck about the police. you can bet your ass that if the police shot this piece of shit before he got a shot off it would be all over the news. "chicago police gun down another fine chicago youth."
its 1814 hrs on friday and the city snow plows have yet to come down my side street once! the 10th ward sucks. i bet the side streets by mayor daleys house, the side streets by obamas and all the side streets in the ghetto non tax paying wards are all plowed.
just a note to all the civilian fucks who came here to whine about what you THINK you know about CPD staffing, assignment and manpower:
Go back to the Scum Times and cry there to all the other liberal shitheads who think they have the first clue about staffing or manpower assignments. You have no fucking CLUE what those cars are doing off their beat because you AREN'T the fucking police. Your dipshit assessments of where you THINK manpower is or why it is there only means shit to another liberal shithead who thinks the entire CPD is required to drive around your block 24 hours a day to keep the shitheads YOU LIVE WITH away from your property.
You don't like your police service, get a better job and move to a decent neighborhood, or kill yourself. Either way, no one give a shit about your personal assessment of what the police are doing in this city.
End of note.
I used to work in 004 a few years ago, it appears nothing has changed. Bts 434, 433, and 432 are constantly being pulled from the 30 sec. to handle calls in the 20 and 10. 004 is severely understaffed and really needs more man power as do most other districts. One thing that might help is adding/realigning the beats since most of them are the size of some smaller districts...ie 003,007.011,015. Most of my family still lives in the 004th district but all have noticed the changes in the last 3 yrs. Hegewisch and the East Side used to be great neighborhoods but now, and I hate to be the one who sounds racist, but all the ghetto section 8 rats moving in are bringing all their problems and shit ways of life to what used to be a safe neighborhood. I carry everywhere I go, even throwing out the trash. It sucks when you hardly see a police car out this way, but I want to thank the guys i always see in an unmarked..M.M & W.M. Sorry for the long post but its frustrating to live anywhere in this rathole of a city. Like most I have a mortgage and car note and barely scrape by for my family working two jobs... There was a time I loved this job but that feeling is long gone...What a shame but its going to take another copper to be killed or severely injured to bring change in this city, we need to back each other up on and off duty cause we are all we have when the shit hits the fan... 10yr vet

Thank God The Sgt will be okay. Fucking Hegewisch. The scumbags are really bold out here because their is no police presence or service. I'm not second guessing but the problem in Hegewisch could have been nipped in the butt a long long time ago. But the streets belong to the scumbag gang bangers and dope dealers and they know it. They are ballsy enough to shoot a cop on top of it. Alderman Pope doesn't give a shit. He does nothing. Dickhead Daley obviously doesn't care about officer safety. If he did, he would hire the 2-3,000 officers we're short. How about the new commander of 4. Are you going to step up and put an end to all the burglaries, thefts, home invasions, armed robberies, auto thefts, gang banging and dope dealing in Hegewisch? Well, what you going to do? Are you going to sit on your hands and shuffle stats and paper like all the rest? Damn shame since about 90% of Hegewisch residents are good decent people. A lot of city workers and Vets too. This is like a broken record, me bitching about no police in Hegewisch buts unfortunately it's the truth.
12/18/2008 11:59:00 PM
Now tell me EXACTLY what you would like the new Commander to do. We are all listening. Also, Hegewisch is not the only part of 004 that needs help, now is it. A lot of this is our own fault. How many times over the years did we not do our part 100% in all areas. Now this shit has caught up to us and the scum bags live on our block.
Also, what exactly should the new Commander do? He has the same amount of resources, the same fucked up miserable bosses and the same lazy ass police officers. Now, there are a lot of good bosses and officers in 004, but guess what, the bad and lazy outweigh the good and we just don't have enough police on the street, PERIOD!
Why don't you post some realistic suggestions instead of bitching. I will personally print it out and forward it to the Commanders Office and post it throughout the District. Since I work midnights, I have plenty of time to roam the halls in between the back log of calls and police running from one end of the District to the next!
And let me guess the Hegewisch car was on the north side of the district were it always is. That car is always off it's beat, and a Sgt. working 99 had to ride on the call alone.
The reality is, we both make a pretty good salary and it still took us forever to afford a house in a nice neighborhood. With the increased taxes, one of us now has to get a second job!!!
We can't afford Chicago and God forbid our kids don't get into one of the top High Schools, tuition or loose them. Thats a real problem!!!!
Last time I looked, my check after each raise was about 120 dollars a month after taxes. Wow, I can by ummm some milk and cookies, thats about it!

As a matter of fact I believe there are plenty of people living in the 10 sector who have annual incomes much greater than those living in the 30 sector. Obviously if you work in the 004th district you don't know much about the entire districts demographics. I grew up in 004 and still live in 004. I began my career in the 004th district 20 years ago, and worked there 10 years, I have seen the changes but if you must speak about it speak the truth!

ok I was wrong I forgot about pill hill and a few other spots. But you have to admit we the police and taxpayers are not getting the protection we deserve. When we are at work in other Districts who is looking out for our family?
YA, the scumbag is paralized. He will say he was running an errand for his grandma, and found the gun. He was handing it over to the Sgt. when it went off. His family will sue the city and Du=ickhead will award him millions because they will find that graduation picture that he had when he stole, I mean found, when he was walking down the street. The aldercreatures won't want a court battle.
Now tell me EXACTLY what you would like the new Commander to do. We are all listening. Also, Hegewisch is not the only part of 004 that needs help, now is it. A lot of this is our own fault. How many times over the years did we not do our part 100% in all areas. Now this shit has caught up to us and the scum bags live on our block.
Also, what exactly should the new Commander do? He has the same amount of resources, the same fucked up miserable bosses and the same lazy ass police officers. Now, there are a lot of good bosses and officers in 004, but guess what, the bad and lazy outweigh the good and we just don't have enough police on the street, PERIOD!
Let me see?
How about taking all those useless people out of the CAPS office and putting their asses on the street (a 3 year wonder wearing a cocktail dress and high heals riding around in a marked car doing license investigations?), Give me a Fu%%ing Break! What Commander put her in that spot? That babe couldn't find a turd in a toilet!
Oh, I'm light duty, my ass.
Empty out all these office people and we will have at least some new manpower. If they want office jobs, let them go to the private sector!
This new commander wont do shit! Afraid to lose that GOLD MEAL TICKET!

First of all, good shoot sarge and get well soon. Glad you came out on top in that one. Second, when are the three unions (FOP, PBPA Sgts, PBPA Cpt&Lt) going to get off their asses and hold a vote of no confidence for J-FUCK? I know it is a symbolic gesture but when all three come back with 99% no confidence maybe someone will look at this ass and get rid of him.

I think you may be on to something but I think you are misguided. I in no way a fan of J-fed but we need to go higher. How about a ote against the wothless POS that put him there and is ruining our city? The worthless King Daley is destroying this city along with the asshat alder creatures. He has given away just about every major revenue producer like the Skyway, Midway, the parking meters... We will receive NO revenue from any of those and neither will our kids or their kids. The money from the Skyway was to be put aside to save us and was supposed to be a reserve to be used when absolutely necessary. That is reported to be well under 1/3rd remaining. Also wait till spring comes and the full scope of the damage our roads will sustain as a result of his decision about snow plowing is realized. We are screwed. 11% sales tax, raising city sticker rates, all the fees, the rising murder rate because of his anti gun beliefs....
So my thing is, instead of J-Fed, lets do a no confidence vote against the POS that put J-Fed there in the first place and get rid of him before he can do any more damage. We may be close to being unable to reverse the damage.
ok I was wrong I forgot about pill hill and a few other spots. But you have to admit we the police and taxpayers are not getting the protection we deserve. When we are at work in other Districts who is looking out for our family?
I will agree with you there, because if I ever catch the scumbag that keeps breaking into cars on my block, this blog will be posting comments about me and what I did to the scumbag!!!!!!!!!
This shit going on should be enough to convince the rest of you people that have not switched to the .45 cal. pistol to due so when you are allowed to. In this day and age, you need serious stopping power in a sidearm. A long gun in the car doesnt mean shit when you are away from the car ! You need all the performance you can get in a pistol. Chose a caliber that starts with 4. Stay safe.
"...work 016 first watch nothing going on..."
It's hard to see anything with your eyes closed, snoring, and your shoes off in your "cruiser".
What we need to do is, get the Sgt's 8th-grade graduation picture and send it to Carol Marin along with a statement about how he was turning his life around and was going to go to medical school to be a rocket surgeon.
Does anyone downtown know why Jody didnt come out to check on a Police Officer shot.
What a piece of crap our SUP is.

I happen to know that the alleged offender was trying to get his life together after several unintended stints in prison. He recently got his GED after four to six years of study in IDOC and hoped for a successful career as a rap artist.
Another motorized wheelchair bought by the citizens of Illinois.
Paul Baccarella a "decorated hero who put his life on the line everyday to make it a safer place to live"? I think not. Paul had about eight years on the job, the vast majority of which were spent inside the CAPS office posing as the Police while he actually ran his his construction business which was his real job. Paul will tell you what a great policeman he is/was but the truth of the matter is he wasn't really even the police. He hid out in that CAPS office as the Senior Citizen Officer and did nothing even remotely connected to Police work. He had a previous residency beef and he knew about this one yet he chose not to move back into the city but instead to roll the dice and hope for the best. He lost. Sorry Paul, you knew this was coming and you decided not to do what the rest of us have to do which is reside in the City of Chicago. I know you think your better than everybody else but your not. Learn to abide by the rules. Your clout can only take you so far. I wish you luck, but not on this job, not as a Chicago Police Officer. You made your choice. Now live with it and stop whining!
I wasn't going to post anything about Paul but when saw the line about him being "a decorated hero who put his life on the line everday making this city a safer place", I almost threwup. To think of him or somebody else saying something like that about him while he was hiding out inside an office while his peers where toiling out in the streets in hostile enviorments,in bad weather,on holidays, on weekends etc., etc., and he was enjoying a steady work schedule of 9-5, Monday -Friday, weekends off, I simply felt compelled to post here.
Everyone blames the new police boss for the shit we're in. But these screwed up rules started many years ago before anyone heard of J-Fed. But now we all blame just him. Cline and Hillard and Martin started all this anti-policing strategy after caving in to the mayor, the alderman and every technicolor reverend who would get 1 minute of camera time on the news.

Well if things are that bad then, bid back into 004. This is a common problem citywide. Look at Beverly, Morgan Park and Mt. Greenwood, all are looking at a steep rise in crime. Also, last month a alone an uncommon number of police officers homes were burglarized in these areas. The police that live in these areas went to the beat community meetings, talked to neighbors to make them aware and to get on board with paying attention to your neighborhood and calling the police. 016 is doing the same thing and so is 020.
This is not a Blog issue, but a real citywide issue. And guess what, we cannot run to the surrounding better suburbs where the taxes are less, the homes are nicer and half the cost and the school districts are far better than what we are forced to deal with because due to our middle income salaries that just don't keep up with inflation and the cost of living, we can't afford anything beyond!
Since Jfed lives downtown and so does Mike Masters, this is not an issue. Did we forget about the Mayor? Him too!!! I forgot, neither besides the Mayor has children. I have worked my ass off for 23 years and Jfed makes $330,000.00 and Mike Masters makes $170,000.00. The 001st and the 018th districts have more officers than 004 and 011 do put together. They have all kinds of teams that I have never seen here in 004. Pick Pocket, Window Details etc. What about Homicide and Aggravated Battery details in our fast Districts? How about the 005th District has not had a Rapid up in almost a year. That's right, just don't give officers Time Off!!! Make them continue to miss family events, kids celebrations etc., wives just needing a little more attention, but wait, we always have the Christmas party. That's a sure fire fun night out on the town! :-)
All I have to say is Thank God I live in Avalon Trails. Good job Sgt. O'
12/20/2008 08:54:00 AM
I agree 100% and if we take a police action off duty the new breed of moronic dept bosses screw us! Wait until all the new kids "leo's rangers lol", get going and watch the lawsuits pile up. leo and his gold star friends will back down and use the age old excuse "i never told them that." We need to watch the homeland the communties mentioned and also the Garfield Ridge areas it is becoming epidemic with crime! the mayor-masters-jfed- etc all live in "protected" areas the mayor has an army(Sorry not near that good), err a bunch of clouted valets gaurading him no worries for him. Everyone else he says fuck the servants let us get robbed,raped etc... Could I get a blue light camera by my home like eddie burke has at the mansion he built in that shit area? Maybe a car to sit on my home 24/7? ^ more do nothing valets?
He had a previous residency beef and he knew about this one yet he chose not to move back into the city but instead to roll the dice and hope for the best. He lost.

No to mention that he signed a false residency affidavit which pretty much ends his being able to be used as a sworn witness in court.
Based on Paul's record, I hope many other actual residents and city workers are not accused of residency violation when Daley and his goons finger a Paul's position for someone else.
I hope many people read this story and help us change the system. I was always for the Residency Requirement in Chicago, but too many stories like this mean we need to change the rule. Photo by Patrick McDonough"
12/19/2008 01:16:00 PM
I agree the rule should be changed but this is the wrong poster boy for the cause. He worked inside and bragged about where he lived. He thumbed his nose at the system and it bit him in the ass.
Norwood Park, home to many police officers and fire fighters, has had some of the highest numbers for suicides and attempted suicides out of 77 Chicago communities for the last few years per Chicago Department of Public Health Data. Also noted, higher numbers of middle aged white men cited in the demographic data for suicide profiles.
Keep an eye on each other out there. If you notice a fellow PO looking sad, not eating, not sleeping, drinking to much etc... encourage him/her to see a professional... Let him/her know that you are concerned.
Thanks all of you police officers out there who keep us safe. Take time this holiday season to relax and "de-stress". Do something special just for you.
There are plenty of tax payers in 10 and 20 sectors but the fact is those sectors get the most police. Heck, the twenty sector is constantly a DOC Area. So unlike the rest of the district, which is filled with crime, Hegewisch and parts of the East Side are salvageable, but like other areas like Mt Greenwood, will fall by the side.

Unfortunate, but true!
Try suing the city or the dept. for anything as a PO. -- You can't because you signed a waiver for the right to sue when you came on the job. No one else has to worry about that problem!!!
.
SCREW THAT SCUM BAG FOR FIRING ON THE POLICE, I DON'T CARE IF HE WAS GETTING HIS LIFE TOGETHER AFTER A STINT IN THE JOINT. HE HAD A GUN AND FIRED AT THE POLICE, HE CAN ROT IN HELL WHEN HE MAKES IT THERE.

To all bad guys, stop shooting at the police, start shooting at elected officials. They are the ones keeping you down.

With half the Department assigned to the elected officials' security details, we'd never get close to them! -- May we suggest that you go after them yourselves via Patrick Fitzgerald and the Federal Prosecutors' Office?
They seem to be rather effective these days!!!
I'm going to start driving around the Gwesch in my personal car and look for crime. I have no wife or life but I'm going to provide the Gwesch with security. The only partners I have in my cruiser is S & W and Remington.

YEAH, RIGHT! This guy is going nowhere... Get that? NO WHERE! He was hired to shake up the dept... To end the old-boy network, and to do the mayors' bidding for him without interference from other powerful police dept exempts.
How has he done? Well, Let's see:
Dept shaken up? - YOU BETCHA
Old-boy network? - DUMPED, DEAD and RETIRED!
Other powerful exempts? - NONE! Jody has 'em so shaken up, they're pissing on themselves running away from their own shadows!
Daley's pals are all OK, of course!
Old Tommy Byrne is getting his exempt Police pension while also 'earning'...err, I mean, while collecting a salary as Commissioner of Streets and Sanitation. (BTW- haven't seen him lately; Running Streets and San from Florida for the winter, maybe?).
SERGEANT Jim Keating is collecting an exempt salary & isn't answerable to Jody, etc, etc, etc.
It might be fun to hear from your readers where some other of the Mayors' pals are and how they are being taken care of in this Christmas season?!?
Anyway, expect Jody to be around until the end of the mayors term in office in 2011, when we will elect a NEW mayor and get a new Superintendent of Police!
.
Paul Bacarella- isn't he the same guy that was ordering copies of case reports for defense attornies? I think he is the same guy that was working with criminal defense lawyers and ordered a copy of a vice case report when me and my partner executed a search warrant.
Does anyone downtown know why Jody didnt come out to check on a Police Officer shot.
What a piece of crap our SUP is.
good question----i heard he was on scene the other night WHERE THE POLICE SHOT SOMEONE on that search warrant in 003
I just want to know does he need a driver? All Commanders need a driver. Didn't anyone tell him that yet!
The brass, including Weis showed up at the hospital.

You're pretty quick to judge without the facts. The Supt met the SERGEANT who was shot at LCM where he was treated.

You'd better brush up on your grammer and listen to the radio. 433 afternoons is rarely sent anywhere out of the 30 sector. Very often when they are, some other car comes up and takes whatever job will be assigned to them and take it. Even the dispatcher knows their laziness. One time she called '433' and mumbled watch this...'they're going to take lunch or a pesonal.' They did. They only place in the Gwisch that gets any service out there is Primbus' house. 4 hours a tour.
Finally today (Sunday) CLTV had one line about the Hegewisch shooting.
433 is doing a good job. They are visible in the neighborhod all shifts.

Their is some truth to this, but how does this help the department? If the Exempt are afraid to make any real decisions or call BS, how exactly are we making the department work for us? I would like to see him replaced with ANYONE from CPD that actually knows the department, the culture and the needs of our communities.
Mayor Daley, how many more kids have to be killed before you admit you made a mistake and get rid of these civilians who have no historical experience or knowledge of CPD, trying to run this department.
