Information Being Suppressed?
Someone mentioned this in a comment section:
- Is it just us or do the reports of shootings seem down?
We did an unscientific survey of a few of the media outlets listed on the right side and aside from the railroad copper killing the armed assailant (good job by the way), there weren't many shootings reported over the past few days. Not even in the "metro briefing" blurbs that take a paragraph or so.
It's doubly unusual because we've been on the scenes of at least two shootings in the past few days and heard of another seven that didn't make the news, including a triple wounding.
What reason could there be for keeping a lid on violent crime numbers? Is there some big even planned for the first week of April that would necessitate keeping hidden actual instances of Chicagoans trying to off each other?
And the media dances while Richie calls the tunes.

The Chicago media is doing more than dancing with the mayor, they are outright sleeping with him.
How do you spell the name of the most corrupt and stupid mayor in America? No, it's not N-I-M-R-O-D.
It's R-I-C-H-A-R-D M. D-A-L-E-Y
OT....I would like to thank J-fed for being a NO SHOW at the funeral of P.O. Karshna! You love wearing our uniform everywhere, that you did not earn, but you can't take one hour of your busy day to wear the uniform at the service for one of our fallen! In fact no one from 35th street was there not one boss except the 023rd district commander. I can not imagine why the superintendent of police could not attend the funeral of one of his officers. Hey J-fed maybe your "policy group of brains" should inform you that it's good policy to attend the funeral of a fallen officer. Many bosses from Niles PD were there. One even commented that "it's a shame your superintendent could not make it." Our self-serving leadership is an embarrassment! No wonder morale is so bad. Thanks for stopping by J-fed.
Richie Daley, aka: DaMare, aka: shortshanks, aka: Crime Boss of Shitcago: has magic powers. He told the newsmedia to nix reporting any violent crimes in the shity. He said I'm da mayer !!!!!!! don't talk about anyting dat may keep da Olympics away from here ! I'm da Mayer and so it must be.
Richie, you silly fuckin mope ! The heat is getting turned up on your butt. One step closer to da shithouse for you Bro !!!!!!!

SCC, WHY HAVE YOU MISSED THE SMOKING GUN!
IAD chief Skahill was recently removed from her position as head of IAD. Helms was offered the position and possibly refused. Helms was recently demoted to captain.
Is this the reason?
Civilian chief of staff Masters may have been observed in possession of a firearm on New Years Eve. Guess who he was with...the Superintendant himself, J-Fed.
A CR# was obtained. Was Skahill removed after she refused bury the investigation?
Where did Masters get the gun? Did the superintendent personally or indirectly illegally transfer a firearm to a civilian and become an accomplice to a felony agg. UUW.
Did J-Fed commit official misconduct by failing to take action when told or when he himself observed that a civilian was in possession of a loaded firearm that was uncased and immediately accessible?
Did J-Fed commit obstruction of justice when he removed the head of IAD in order to bury an investigation that could lead to his own imprisonment?
This is the third time I have heard this. Please someone find out more info. It's sounds legit. We all know it's different rules for the brass or clouted, but this would be a new low, but GREAT fun to watch unfold! Do Tell!
Saw SEVENTEEN guys in safety vests out pouring insanely huge piles of mulch on newly planted trees on the boulevard today.
Since I don't suppose the trees will grow to full size by next week, the mayor must think the Olympic committee can visualize them as fully grown by 2016.
I'm sure the City didn't pay for this blatant Olympic expenditure. But if it did, I'm absolutely CERTAIN the funds will be repaid to this severely cash-strapped city.
Right?
WE CAN ONLY HOPE THAT CHALKIE MAKES AN APPEARRENCE THIS WEEKEND.
Isn't that how it used to be? The media never reported gang related shootings/killings like they have lately right?
O.T.
But as Shortshanks has never held a job that actually involved earning money by the sweat of labor, we can see where his spoiled rotten attitude would shine through under the mildest of pressures. When he went to De La Salle he played on the "Lights." That was only because the coach, Ed Riska, worked a regular job. Where? The Chicago Park District. This is no bullshit: When Hoghead came to see sonny boy, Riska would put him into the game. Hoghead's big fat ass wouldn't be settled into his city provided limo and that little bitch would be back on the pines. Plus, the next basket that the Shankster makes will be the first basket that he makes. Seriously, he shot a basketball like a girl. He is right handed and would put the ball behind his left ear and sling it. "I shot a basketball into the air, and where it bricked I do not care." "Daddy, they won't let me make a basket. Find out if the referee works for the city and have him fired. Please Daddy! RMD

What's up with all the fires lately? they're all huge and blazing but none have injuries. Sounds like insurance fraud to me. With potential arson on the rise, don't you think it'd be worth a lot for someone to downsize the police dept's unit that investigates arson? How much do you think daley got?
I'm not suprised. This is the same media that gave us Obama.
You're right, listen to 4th, 5th and 6th districts for early line on shootings for the summer.
OT as well...
Why wasn't it reported that Chief of Staff Masters caused the city to be sued and a restraining order filed against the police and buildings department for his actions?
They'll print any garbage against any PO but G*d forbid they print something about the Mayoral Sock Puppet.
OFF TOPIC:
Alderman Doherty is in the hospital for a DRUNKIN fall in his home after watching some NCAA basketball over the weekend. He fought with the CFD paramedics who were on scene to treat his head injury. There was NO POLICE on scene which is pretty unusual because 016th district gets these calls all time. IS HE SUPPOSE TO BE THAT FUCKED UP IN HIS HOME ON HIS OWN TIME? WE'RE NOT. WE ALL KNOW HE'S A BIG DRUNK. DO YOU THINK HE WOULD'VE BLOWN A .04 ON SUNDAY? IF THIS HAPPENED TO ONE OF US WE WOULD BE STRIPPED AND IT WOULD PROBABLY MAKE A GOOD NEWS STORY.

SCC, watch this video (http://www.myfoxchicago.com/dpp/
news/Murder_Or_Suicide_Investigation)particularly around the 3 minute mark and it clearly shows how Chicago is discriminating and manipulating statistics (intentionally misclassifying murders as "death investigations or in this case suicides) based on demographics and who the victim is.
UNBELIEVABLE! NO STRIKE THAT
FUCKEN BELIEVABLE! WE/YOU have been trying to bring this to light for years since Phat Phil and his band of merry idiots (especially MAHER)had there erasers out tyring to "fix" the numbers to "smoke & mirror" the tax paying citizens of Chicago. We'll lets have a couple of threads on this and give it legs. FOX did an excellent job breaking this story now lets make sure that this is on every network, paper, magazine, blog bathroom wall etc... God only knows that most of the media outlets get most of their information right from this blog.
I think this just might be the straw that broke the camel's back for JFED and brokeback DALEY.

Don't know if JFED gave him the gun for NEW YEARS but I can tell you with 1000% certainty that MASTERS did a ride along last year in the 006th District and rode around with us (tact team) and did have/carry a firearm along with a bullet proof vest. Hell, he even conducted several traffic stops with us throwing up a couple of people against the wall.
We were under the assumption that since he was an exempt he had the Superintendants/Mayors blessing.
But now that we put two and two together - yes he is an exempt but a civilian! Wow we missed a UUW right under our nose for eight hours (sorry I meant hours)!!!! You can't own, register or carry a handgun in Chicago if you live here. And we know that he hasssssss to live in Chicago like the rest of the loyal City employees because he is a CITY employee. Maybe someone should check with Gun Registration or the State Police to see how many handguns MASTERS owns. or Cook County Assessors/Cook County Recorder of Deeds Office.

Police Seek Suspects In Chinatown Home Invasion
Man, Woman Brutally Beaten
CHICAGO (CBS) ―
Police are searching for suspects in a home invasion in the Chinatown neighborhood that left a man and woman hospitalized after being beaten.
The home invasion happened at 10:10 a.m. Tuesday at a home in the 2100 block of South China Place.
Three armed offenders entered the home and robbed the victims of an unknown amount of cash and jewelry.

Chicago laundromat manager battered, bruised, but not beaten
Attack leaves man, 73, visibly pained, but says, 'I did the right thing'
By Rex W. Huppke and Matthew Walberg | Tribune reporters
March 25, 2009
In a West Side laundromat, there's a man with little patience for loiterers—a frail 73-year-old veteran of the South Korean army who's stubborn enough to not be afraid.
When gangbangers and dope fiends wander in from Chicago Avenue, he yells at them in a mix of English and Korean, "Go out! Go out!"
But, but it's the public's right to know. How many times have you heard that come out of the mouth of some cub reporter or someone like Walter Jacobsen? All any of them are worried about is the bottom line. That's why "if it bleeds, it leads" except in Chicago.
Off Subject
I am looking at a press release from South Side Irish Parade Committee, the parade has been "suspended in its present form"
It has to be because of the Olympic bid that stories about crime have gone down.
Though here in the Uptown neighborhood where our alderman & her son likes to always call out police “brutality and corruption” that a lot of cops are afraid to do their job. In other words- cops & condo owners are evil and must be silenced. (Shiller & a developer have subpoenaed a local blog called Uptown Update because of the “news” that’s blogged about but not on local media) Her son is a “lawyer” who likes to sue the cops and media trying to do stories about any type of crimes in the 46th ward. God forbid it goes on local news, because we can’t have the north side look bad. Maybe Rodgers Park but it’s all on the South & West side of Chicago that receives the nasty press. We also have a bunch of knuckle-heads running around videotaping cops on a daily basis trying to “show” their corruption. Unbelievable.
Keep up the good work S.C.C.!
There have been few, agg bat and 0110 are down big time, lowest for the same time period for the last 10 years.
Must be because of global cooling.
OT.. Does anyone have any info on why the marine unit test was canceled...
Local news is being ignored all over the country as newspapers are going under at a really rapid rate. Television news is also having huge problems. They just can’t cover the news anymore. This opens opportunities for Internet based reporting.
I’d like to see a site developed in Chicago one cop from every district reported on newsworthy events occurring in their own area.
“On The Beat With Chicago Cops” as a multimedia blog would rock America and draw huge readership. It could start with a retired cop literate retired Chicago cop in every district. Armed with digital camcorders, still cameras a bunch of cops turned newsmen could change news forever.
This city is a fucking joke!! The exact street that PO Karshna was killed on Friday was being patched up for potholes first thing Monday morning. Im sure this is no coincidence and was done for liabilites purposes to benefit the city. Shameless!
shooting down. cease fire money is being spread to keep the gang bangers in line before the OIC people arrive. ty messiah

Robber fatally shot in Miami Burger King holdup
A robbery at a Burger King in Miami's Upper East Side neighborhood left one person dead and another seriously injured.
BY ROBERT SAMUELS
rsamuels@MiamiHerald.com
An afternoon shootout at a busy Burger King restaurant in Miami left a potential robber dead and the customer who shot him seriously wounded.
The bloody event unfolded about 4 p.m. Tuesday at the restaurant at Northeast 54th Street and Biscayne Boulevard. It was a time, employees said, when it is usually crowded with schoolchildren and people getting out of work early.
The robber entered wearing a ski mask. He approached a clerk, showed his gun and demanded money, said Miami police spokesman Jeff Giordano.
A customer eyed him and the two started arguing. The customer had a concealed-weapons permit and his gun -- and the two exchanged gunfire.
The robber crumpled to the floor and was pronounced dead at the scene.
The customer, with several gunshot wounds, was in serious but stable condition at Jackson Memorial Hospital's Ryder Trauma Center.
Officers divided witnesses into several groups outside the restaurant to gather information about the incident. Employees waiting to start their shift called friends and family members on their cellphones to pass the time because they were not allowed through the police tape.
''I just hope all my people are OK inside,'' said Cynthia Thomas, who has worked at the Burger King for five years. ``It is scary.''
Around them, drivers on busy Biscayne Boulevard gawked at the scene.
The area is a prime destination for residents in the Upper East Side neighborhood -- featuring Soyka's restaurant, Sushi Siam and Andiamo Pizza.

South irish Parade to cancelled? Finally a good decision
It should be announced in public by Friday, but the South Side Irish Parade has officially been discontinued. A press release is making the rounds, and was announced in 022 roll calls this morning, that the parade committee voted to discontinue the parade, effective immediately. They may do something next year (a carnival in a park--charging admission is being floated), but the parade is out the door.
My thanks to everyone who helped this year. Most especially the guys from Area 3 Gangs who had the Battery to PO incident at the Rock Island station. You guys took abuse from the drunks (and unfortunately the ASA assigned to Felony Review) that you did not deserve. I tip my hat to you, and everyone involved.
Dear SCC,
There will be a protest next Thursday morning April 2nd 2009 at City Hall. All members are encouraged to attend. Hopefully this will send a message to Mayor Richard Daley that we need a contract. More details will follow.
Blue for Life

Southside Irish Parade canceled for 2010!!! Thank God.
Just reported on WGN noon time news, the southside Irish parade is no more.... Parade committee will no longer have parade, basically, it's out of control with drinking, too much for the neighborhood to handle and 12 policemen were injured in the last parade.
Hey SCC please let the masses know that I just got word from the FOP that there is going to be a march at city hall planned for next thursday 2 april. Busses to pick officers at areas and districts.more info to follow later today or tomorrow on the fop website.
This is our chance to show that we can unite and come together as this is the worst I have seen it in my career. The time has come for us to go to city hall and show that we are one.
We have to go and show support for one another because division of the troops is what makes city hall happy.
there are so many reasons to march
No Contract
no cars
no equipment
shit cars that we are driving in that should be replaced
but most importantly low manpower
and when i say low manpower think of the fine officer in the 019th district whose life was TAKEN from him as he was working by himself when he should nt have been.
SCC Please get the word out to the readers to come out in numbers next thursday.
more information will be coming later today or early tomorrow on the FOP website
everyone this is our future and this is our opportunity to come out and be heard.
come out,especially you younger guys and gals this is your future we are talking about.
what is lost on contract negotiations can never be retrieved.
come out in numbers and lets make some noise
SCC please help get the word out.
off topic, but the southside irish parade will not be held "in its present form" starting next year, per southsideirishparade.org..... actually heard some talk about this over the last few days, apparently the parade folks finally got fed up with some of the behaviors, etc.
WHAT'S THIS ABOUT GETTING RID OF THE SOUTHSIDE iRISH PARADE. cAN THIS BE TRUE.
i DON'T CARE FOR A BUNCH OF DRUNKEN' sOUTHSIDES OR SUBERBS PEOPLE BUT LETS GET RID OF BUD BILIKEN ALSO, IF THIS IS THE CASE.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA BREAKING NEWS: SOUTH SIDE HILL BILLY ST PATRICKS PARADE CANCELLED BECAUSE DRUNKEN HILL BILLY SOUTH SIDERS CANNOT ACT LIKE GROWN UPS!!! And do not think us civilized people on the north side will welcome you hill billies to our parade... First of all, we do not have the parking available to accomodate your houses... Second, we DO NOT WANT YOUR HILL BILLY REDNECKS RUINING THE NORTH SIDE LIKE YOU HAVE RUINED THE SOUTH SIDE!!! AHAHAHAHAHHAHA That parade was a JOKE! It wasnt about celebrating Irish heritage... it was an excuse for south side hill billies to get drunk and act like a bunch of red necks! Go ahead and toss out your usual "frat boys" or "homo" comments at the northside, as that arguement is weak... Besides, I would MUCH rather be in the company of some "frat boys" than a bunch of dirty south side hill billies that cannot even hold onto a parade that has been going on for nearly 30 years!!!
I can't believe people are coming to MSF !!!!! I want to leave, but don't want to go back to a district. I have 8 years on, so I know it is not a lot of time, but what the hell. Oh and whats up with the two goofs in A PLATOON. DS & JL ...Has anyone tought them how to be the police ? Have you ever heard them on a stop ? The one guy can barely spek english ! Oh and the yellow shoes ........PRICELESS
OT: South Side Irish Parade canceled for 2010
March 25, 2009 (CHICAGO) (WLS) -- The South Side Irish Parade will not be held next year, according to the planning committee.
"This decision was not arrived at lightly," according to a statement released by the South Side Irish St. Patrick's Day Parade Committee.
The parade began 31 years ago in the Beverly/Morgan Park and Mt. Greenwood communities. Since 1979, the numbers of parade goers has grown to 300,000.
"The sheer volume has become more than the neighborhood can reasonably accommodate," said the release.
Maybe the planners for Bud Billiken will use some common sense and do the same. Probably not.
JUST HEARD THEY CANCELLED THE SOUTH SIDE IRISH PARARDE AND I WORKED IT AND IT AIN'T THAT BAD- MY - ARE THEY GOING TO CANCEL THAT GANG BANGING LOSE YOUR KID AT THE PARADE ON KING DRIVE IN AUGUST- NO SHOOTING AT THIS SCREWED UP PARADE AND THEY CANCEL AN IRISH PARADE
OT
And here's some more supressed numbers:
Total # of PO's assigned to and NOT detailed out, or detailed to all 25 districts: 5709
This figure includes tact, CAPS and front office personnel
This is what we have in districts, pushing beat, rapid, wagon, school car, park car and foot, including ppo's
Without taking the time to weed out the odd anomaly, this figure is as close to correct as is possible.
I keep seeing this Mike Masters post. Is this info for real? If it is, then SCC should start a post just concerning this and lets hear what kind of bullshit is really going on.
Kass's column was pretty funny today.
Just got text from a friend that there is a union protest on 2 apr w buses leaving the areas. SCC is this legit? If so we NEED EVERYONE TO MAKE IT! Get a babysitter, cancel the side job for ONE day and lets be LOUD
OT: I interviewed for MSF last week (i know, go ahead and rip me) and was told i would find out on tues or wed with the academy training to start on thurs 26 MAR. Guess i can assume i didnt make it...anyone have any info????
Off topic, South Side Irish Parade no longer to be held in its current form, i.e. 300,000 people with a high proportion of drunk assholes. Look for the parade to be rerouted to a non-commercial street:Longwood, Damen, 99th or 107th and go back to its roots as a family day. Hats off to them for recognizing what a problem its become and doing something about it. Bud Bilikeners, are you listening?
ot, they just announced this morning the south side irish parade is over. due to the problems of the past years they are ending the tradition of the parade.
0110 in 022 last night on 91st street.

SS IRISH PARADE.....HE GONE
South Side Irish Parade Cancelled for good
Off Topic:
Someone please help us. Yesterday I sat in on the closing arguments of a police shooting, a 100% justified police shooting.
Synopsis: A convicted felon fled in a vehicle and then on foot while carrying a 9mm w/ an extended magazine. The convicted felon then set up to ambush the officers in pursuit but was interrupted by another officer. The convicted felon then tackled the officer and attempted to disarm him. Forensic evidence showed that the convicted felon's DNA was on the officer's weapon w/ a 1 in 384,000 chance that is was not the convicted felons DNA. Witnesses observed the officers recover a firearm from the street and observed the convicted felon wrestling w/ the officer.
Judgement by a jury of his peers: Not Guilty on all charges!!! Basically, the jury is saying w/o actually saying that the Chicago Police chased an unarmed man on a sunny, summer, Sunday afternoon. Then, the Chicago Police did shoot the unarmed man for no reason and then plant a handgun and extended magazine on him.
Are you freaking kidding me? Please, somebody please help us! Do people really think that this is what takes place on an every day basis? The Chicago Police simply attempt to murder people for no particular reason on any given day.
I don't know what tragedy needs to take place or who needs to be spoken to or simply what movement needs to be initiated, but something has to be done.
See chalkie ? Tell channel 7 news, they will zoom in with the hi- def microscope airship. They love to show the yellow tape and zoom in on the bullet holes. Dont forget to call CLTV and AM780, the will rush cameras or reporters to the scene as well.
King shortshanks cant silence all of them.

I believe in my heart that Al(fred) Sanchez is GUILTY.
I know that as A FACT: I was there from the beginning.
Al went to CVS (Chicago Vocational School) with my Oldest Brother, Ralph, back in the 1960s.
He was Eddy Vrdolyak's boy in South Chicago until he "flipped" to Richie Daley in the late 1980s.
I worked a precinct for Al & Daley back in '89 @ my old neighborhood in South Deering.
Al PROMISED City Jobs To Many. Al GOT City Jobs For Many. Charlie Zepeda & Dino Garcia GOT City Jobs For The Political Work They Did in the 10th Ward.
Al Sanchez is As Guilty As SIN ! I know this For A FACT: As I was There From THE BEGINNING.
Truthfully, Honestly and Sincerely yours,

no, just not as many shootings so far for 2009.. say what you will, but its not as busy as it was last year... why dont all of you stop wishing our city burns to the ground....dont forget, no matter what, we still have to live here until retirement.
off topic: hey guys and gals make sure you check your prisoners WELL. 11th district lockup found a loaded gun and box of ammo on arrestee brought in by two bozo's from 12!
======
slight exaggeration
yes, it was a loaded .38 revolver with 5 rounds in it.
no, it wasn't a "box of ammo." it was 5 additional loose rounds in dude's pocket.
still, completely inexcusable.
============
Even more inexcusable? The one copper on the school car that missed the gun? Alder-creature Solis's niece!
Let's see how far this one goes and who takes the hit.
It's going around that the FOP is planning on conducting picketing of city hall on Apr 2 at 1100 hours. Buses supposed to be leaving areas around 0900-0930, also 16th District.
Nothing on FOP web site yet, this is a very strong rumor. Stay tuned. If true, I hope for a huge turnout.
OT: I interviewed for MSF last week (i know, go ahead and rip me) and was told i would find out on tues or wed with the academy training to start on thurs 26 MAR. Guess i can assume i didnt make it...anyone have any info????
3/25/2009 02:39:00 PM
The list is out and 12 coppers from TRU transferred to MSF. THATS A TEAM AND A HALF!!!!!!
Maybe Commander Ryan should be a commander and stop trying to be "one of the guys"
He is the worst micromanager short of JRD.
OT.. Does anyone have any info on why the marine unit test was canceled...

2 possible reasons
#1 a few of the bosses son's either forgot to sign up or didn't get their medical release form in on time.
#2 We are so short handed on the streets that moving people to the marine unit is idiotic!

Consider your wish granted.
"And do not think us civilized people on the north side will welcome you hill billies to our parade...
3/25/2009 01:07:00 PM"
And what 'parade' would that be?
This was not a line of duty death.
It was a traffic accident involving a guy on the IOD riding a motorcycle
The Sup cant be expected to attend a funeral like that.
Now tell me to go fuck myself

_____________________________
No, I won't. Because you're absolutely right.
I guarantee you, if Weis had shown up uninvited, that poster would have bitched that Jody had NO business attending and was just grandstanding.
I'm not a fan of the superintendent, but that post was just stupid.
OT: Southside Irish Parade canceled.... because of problems yada yada yada. How about Bud Biliken next? All it is, is a gang banger fest, rampant use of illicit narcotics, drinking on the public way and a bunch of welfare recipients, whose kids we all ready pay for, that leave there children at the CPD tent (usually around 300) so we can watch them. That shit don't make the news though. What a racial double standard.
sorry this is off the subject I am sooooo happy to hear that the SOUTH SIDE IRISH DRUNK FEST is OVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVAH!!!!!!THE DRUNKS have ruined it. No more Women urinating and deficating in the alley. No more men passed out on lawns...Finally the Neighborhood fights back.
Mt. Greenwood is full of hillbillies anyway!
"P.S. read the John KASS article in the tribune this morning which is frickin hilarious.

Thanks for the link to the article. I no longer read the Sun Times or the Tribune. I'm glad I didn't miss this article about mayor Chuckie !
John Kass is my hero. Chicago journalists could take a lesson from him, if they had any Balls !!!!!!!!!!!
i suggest you not try to arrest masters for uuw as he obviously a retired fbi agent and as such can carry concealed under the leosa of 2004 that allows active and retired police to carry. check first with irroc at tht secretary of states office.
OK will Bud become a thing of the past????
NOT
Well, Richie your not gonna get the Olympics if you don't start hiring several hundred police officers. By the year 2016, this department will only have about 5,000 to cover the whole city and your Olympics. Many of us will be retired by then. BUt for the ones still on the job it will NOT BE VERY SAFE FOR ANYONE! The Olympic Commity looks at these things you know....
So, start the hiring now, and get your Socialist buddy in D.C. to fund the COPS project for the next 4 years. And that's RIGHT!
OT....I would like to thank J-fed for being a NO SHOW at the funeral of P.O. Karshna!
Make up your mind. First everyone posts that the mayor or jfed better not show up, we dont want them there. Then they dont show up and you still bitch.
Yes, THe 012th district kids on days with under 4 years on the job. (Which is about 50% of 2nd watch)
The South Side parade will not be relocated to a different route. The committee tried doing that 10 years ago, but were told by city attorneys that they would need the approval of 60% of all the homeowners within 1000 feet of the proposed new route.
They knew 10 years ago that nobody wantewd the parade near them.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA BREAKING NEWS: SOUTH SIDE HILL BILLY ST PATRICKS PARADE CANCELLED BECAUSE DRUNKEN HILL BILLY SOUTH SIDERS CANNOT ACT LIKE GROWN UPS!!! And do not think us civilized people on the north side will welcome you hill billies to our parade... First of all, we do not have the parking available to accomodate your houses... Second, we DO NOT WANT YOUR HILL BILLY REDNECKS RUINING THE NORTH SIDE LIKE YOU HAVE RUINED THE SOUTH SIDE!!! AHAHAHAHAHHAHA That parade was a JOKE! It wasnt about celebrating Irish heritage... it was an excuse for south side hill billies to get drunk and act like a bunch of red necks! Go ahead and toss out your usual "frat boys" or "homo" comments at the northside, as that arguement is weak... Besides, I would MUCH rather be in the company of some "frat boys" than a bunch of dirty south side hill billies that cannot even hold onto a parade that has been going on for nearly 30 years!!!
3/25/2009 01:07:00 PM
Too funny!! and I live on the southside and couldnt agree with you more.
to 12:21
Not defending the Supt Or disrespecting Cameron
BUT
This was not a line of duty death.
It was a traffic accident involving a guy on the IOD riding a motorcycle
The Sup cant be expected to attend a funeral like that.

****************************************************
I have to agree with you on this one.
023, don't turn a tragic incident into a personal rant about Jody.
I was at the accident and by the looks of it there is a lot of fault for both drivers, so I'll leave it at that. You figure it out.
RIP P.O. Karshna

OFF TOPIC:
Alderman Doherty is in the hospital for a DRUNKIN fall in his home after watching some NCAA basketball over the weekend. He fought with the CFD paramedics who were on scene to treat his head injury. There was NO POLICE on scene which is pretty unusual because 016th district gets these calls all time. IS HE SUPPOSE TO BE THAT FUCKED UP IN HIS HOME ON HIS OWN TIME? WE'RE NOT. WE ALL KNOW HE'S A BIG DRUNK. DO YOU THINK HE WOULD'VE BLOWN A .04 ON SUNDAY? IF THIS HAPPENED TO ONE OF US WE WOULD BE STRIPPED AND IT WOULD PROBABLY MAKE A GOOD NEWS STORY.
AS USUAL,TWO SETS OF RULES.

You're right. Also, someone videotaped him at a bar drinking and followed him to his car as he was staggering and then drove off.
It's on youtube.

South irish Parade to cancelled? Finally a good decision
3/25/2009 12:04:00 PM
-------------------------------
FUCK YOU---cancel bud billiken---at the southside parade the police dont have to babysit 1000 "lost" kids while their mammas out smoking crack and weed
Bud Biliken will never be cancelled...that would be racist...
The majority of the Beverly and Mt. Greenwood neighborhood attends the SSI parade (NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH ABLE BODIED YOUNG MEN IN ROSELAND WHO SELL DRUGS AND COLLECT SSI). I know some of you hated to work the parade and wished it would end..fine. I hated working the Billiken, Mexican Parade(s), Rican Fest, and Pride parade. Daley and Rugai had their hands in the "parade committees" decision to end this parade..you can count on that! Get rid of another Irish neighborhood. I knew change was coming when JJ Fish and Harolds Chicken Shack moved onto Western Ave. Those residents who complain about the parade in Beverly are in the minority..especially the ones with Polish, Italian, and Hispanic names. I saw a black guy on t.v. today who said he loves the parade..and pointed out he was not Irish. Daley hates the South Side Beverly and Mt. Greenwood Irish because we hate him. He always hated the parade. 53 arrests is nothing. This parade does not have problems even close to the other ethnic parades. Every ethnic parade is loaded with public drinkers..the media just doesn't point that out. The media always talks about public drinking and arrests whenever they talk about the Irish parade. The media has created this identity for the parade. If the media covered the Billeiken parade the same way, they would do stories about the hundreds of missing children, gangbanging, weed smoking, fighting and drinking on the public way. The Pride parade...drinking on the public way, public indecency, ass-less chaps, really ugly butch women, women with large adams apples, roaving gangs of drag queens, and motorcycle gangs of Dikes on Bikes. The parade committee members are sell outs...thank you for starting the downfall of our neighborhood. I'm going to move from Beverly and let Bud Biliken move in next door to you. Enjoy your new parade "Wee folks of Washtenaw!" The Robberies, Burglaries, Bike thefts, shoplifting, etc. by Roseland and Englewood residents visiting Beverly will only continue to rise now that you WEE Folks sold out to the Mayor and the minority of cry babies who hate seeing others have fun. Rugai=sellout
I agree, to some extent, that the SS Irish parade has gotten out of hand. But I've worked it, and the Bud Billiken and the Cinco De Mayo or whatever the hell it is on 26th street, and I'd rather deal with drunken southsiders than dodge gunfire and babysit lost kids numbering in the hundreds! If they disband one parade, than all should be disbanded. Period. Enough catering to the same minority elements in this city. WTF

"Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart carries out a puppy as authorities removed dozens of dogs living in squalor from a home on the South Side"
First he's beating up those mean poker machines. Then he's gonna get the craigs list girls and now he's saving poor puppies??? Better watch out you big bad criminals, this beat-off is the Real Deal.

dart is a fucking jagoff 19th ward hack! dumb as a box of rocks all the hero arests what a punk!

ReallY? Well I don't see our Animal Crimes Unit doing ANYTHING.
South Side Irish Parade is no more.

OT....I would like to thank J-fed for being a NO SHOW at the funeral of P.O. Karshna! You love wearing our uniform everywhere, that you did not earn, but you can't take one hour of your busy day to wear the uniform at the service for one of our fallen! In fact no one from 35th street was there not one boss except the 023rd district commander. I can not imagine why the superintendent of police could not attend the funeral of one of his officers. Hey J-fed maybe your "policy group of brains" should inform you that it's good policy to attend the funeral of a fallen officer. Many bosses from Niles PD were there. One even commented that "it's a shame your superintendent could not make it." Our self-serving leadership is an embarrassment! No wonder morale is so bad. Thanks for stopping by J-fed.

Better Weis stays away from events having to do with the working police. He is not one of us, he is not liked, not respected and is not welcome at any of them so it is good that he stays the fuck away.
A blessing in disguise.
To the guy who said the SS Irish parade is full of redneck hill-billys, I guess you never worked there or have been on the job too long. I had to work it and there more than a few Cub fans and Northside Irish tee-shits. I've work on the northside for a few years now and I was surprised to see the amount of white-trash that live here. I guess nortsiders just hide the hill-billys better or try to pass off the yuppies as hard-core northside chicagoans.
Are the rumors true of a picket on April 2nd?

I can't believe people are coming to MSF !!!!! I want to leave, but don't want to go back to a district. I have 8 years on, so I know it is not a lot of time, but what the hell. Oh and whats up with the two goofs in A PLATOON. DS & JL ...Has anyone tought them how to be the police ? Have you ever heard them on a stop ? The one guy can barely spek english ! Oh and the yellow shoes ........PRICELESS
3/25/2009 01:36:00 PM
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
A WHOLE 8 years on the job and you don't want to go back to a district?? I guess you're too valuable to sit in a beat car! You are a pompous ass!!
FOP DROPPED THE BALL !!
WHY ARENT WE IN DENVER !!!
BOOK A FLIGHT ASAP... START DOING LOCAL INTERVIEWS THE MAYOR IS THERE WIH THE OLYMPIC COMMITTEE WHY ARENT WE ??
NO RAISES NO OLYMPICS !!
OT as well...
Why wasn't it reported that Chief of Staff Masters caused the city to be sued and a restraining order filed against the police and buildings department for his actions?..................
dont know but why dont u tell what ur talkin about?
The Chinese closed an entire city for several weeks, I'm sure Shanks can do the same!
who the f cares about the s.s. parade
focus on the big picture
Make up your freakin minds, First you want nothing to do with Weis, then you want to know why he wasnt at the funeral of an officer killed off duty in a tragic accident. Don't use this officers death as another reason to bash Weis, THAT is completely unexcusable. Superintendents as a rule do not attend off duty death ceremonies, they would be going all the time. Now, shut the fuck up already. RIP P.O. Karshna
OFF TOPIC:
CAN SOMEONE CANCEL THE BUD BILIKEN PARADE!
No show for Weis at P.O. Karshna's funeral. Well I can tell you and all those other bosses at 35th st. Don't expect anything from the boys in blue in 023. You just spit in our faces. Fuck off!!!!
Not fond of Weiss either, but I have never seen any superintendent at an off-duty related accident yet. I know your emotions are high right now, been there, but don't let the family think it is usually any other way. It isn't!
Usually the Commander is the highest rank in attendance, unless the deceased is a friend or family member of exempts.
That's quite alright because I have my camera rolling as much as possible.
Filmed two scumbags on the orange line today trying to con people out of money. Video will be up on the blog Thursday.
Mayor Daley doesn't own me....
3/25/2009 11:14:00 PM
Good for you Renee, you go girl!
Sheriff Dart is a P.O.S. The first thing he did upon getting his political hack ass elected was to fire every ex CPD guy he could find. He is no friend of the working policeman. Just another 19th Ward Daley stooge.
Shootings ARE down. In particular those districts that had been hardest hit. That's where MSF and TRU have been deployed. Just like SOS used to do. Spots like 025 still are seeing shootings because they're trouble, but no outside help. The BlackBerry just hasn't been going off as much.
3/25/2009 10:38:00 AM
Not true. Look at 011 and 025. Shootings are up in both districts. 011 leads the city in shootings. 025 has the most shootings in March. MSF has been in 025. Also, look at 012, 013, 014, 017 and 022. Homicides/shootings are up in 012,013, 017 and 022. Shootings are up in 014 - just no one has bit the dust yet.
That tells me that officers being deployed to more violet areas are leaving a huge void in areas that at one time saw a decrease in violence.

like a previous poster said its a blessing in disguise..we dont want him at stuff like that..RIP brother
Cease Fire money is beign spread around as bribes to gangs to stay away from Olympic Committees tour route. It's another Chicago way. Let's get a bus or two of vagrants and homeless to the areas they are touring.
Not that it's a major media outlet or anything, but I just finished a big project with multiple stories that addresses murder in Chicago. If you're interested--

Was Masters in the new Johnny Depp movie as an FBI agent?
No. Well then he never was no damn FBI agent.
Masters wasn't J-Fed's pick for Chief of Staff, Masters is Mayor Daley's guy.
Check the city registration file. He does not have a firearm registered in his name.
Person shot in 008 on 3rd watch yesterday. No news on it.
