Pool Car Shortage Gets Worse
This is really scraping the bottom:
Seriously though, good job officers. Does the horse get box two?
Police on horseback helped capture a teenager who was arrested and charged after he allegedly stole an iPhone Friday evening in the Loop.
[...] The person robbed told responding officers that he was on his Apple iPhone when Taylor allegedly snatched it out of his hand, knocking him down as he got off a train, according to the report.
[...] Taylor allegedly fled and the victim -- who also gave chase -- was able to flag down an officer on horseback who then picked up the chase, according to the report.
More officers joined in and Taylor was placed in custody, allegedly with the iPhone in his possession, the report said.
Seriously though, good job officers. Does the horse get box two?

I love it! Way to put the fear of hoofbeats into an offender's brain! :)
OMG!!! Put out a plea to the public and see if ANYONE got this on film. Great job kimosabe! I'd pay to see this dogass nabbed by the mounted copper who grabbed him.
Oh Wilbur... I don't need box 2... just another bag of oats and a fat carrot.
That's a great story.
Reminds me of the chase scenes in the old "McCloud" NY based police series.
It's just unfortunate that the horse's hoof didn't end up doing an impromptu prostate check on the offender.
"The person robbed told responding officers that he was on his Apple iPhone when Taylor allegedly snatched it out of his hand, knocking him down as he got off a train..."
Always on the phone. Tired of this, too. Unless you are giving instructions for brain surgery that is being performed at the other end, nobody needs to be on a cell phone constantly.
The f'ing President is not even on a cell phone constantly, so what's with the nine-year-olds?
HANG UP AND DRIVE.
HANG UP AND CROSS THE STREET.
HANG UP AND GET ON OR OFF THE TRAIN OR BUS SAFELY.
HANG UP AND PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR SURROUNDINGS. THEY CAN BE DANGEROUS. NO FOOLIN'.
99% of what goes out on cell phones is just gibble-gabble anyway, mere stream-of-consciousness from people who have become terrified to be alone. You see them in some of the most peculiar and awkward situations, waving that glowing white thing around like it's better than a gun, like no one will bother them if they have it.
One good smack on that thin, crunchy plastic wafer, and Mr. or Ms. Cell Phone is alone -- very literally back in the Stone Age as far as personal defense is concerned.
Now what are they going to do?
hi ohh silver!
Luckily that P.O. didn't down his horse. Motor maintenance would of given him a lame mule.
Speaking of horses ass, we cannot take evil to the core Glushes any more. We think we put in our time and suffered long enough with her. She is a pathological liar and she still does not have a clue of what we do and she has never been the police. She goes over DC Nick's head and goes right to Chief Thief and tells him lies and he stupidly believes. She is forcing dangerous situations amongst the troops and she is going to get us hurt. A mutiny is happening. She should pair up with that other one from the airport and sell jewelry or tupperware or something.
Hi-Yo, Silver! Away!
And that was the horse WITHOUT the new PDT.........
good horse-- can weis give the horse time-- can daley lay off the horse-- does the horse have any rights... did the horse get a duck because he did a good job... if i was this horse i would get out of dodge now before i end up in the glue factory...
Turns out it was actually the department's pantomime horse. It wasn't even a real one.
Perhaps put the beat guys back on foot, like they were in the past. All in progress jobs would be given to the rapid response cars. (no more hiding on bogus missions for them) All offender not on scene, or C.D.T.P. jobs would be handled by call-back.
He must have thought it was the Lone Ranger coming up behind him.
I used to love watching that series on Saturday morning.
Dont worry Jfed has it covered.Hes going to rent bikes for everone,and put blue lights on his forhead
A horse is a horse of course, of course.
And now he's made more arrests than J-Pud of Course !
OH WILLLLLLLLBUR !
My horse broke down, are there any pool horses?
The next plan for Chicago to go green and save money is to put us all on horses. No more getting gas. Just have them graze in the parks. That way we'll save on grounds maintenance too.
And you all said Shortshanks was crazy.
Last words heard prior to the subject's arrest.
...feets don't fail me know.....
this has given J-Fed a great idea...instead of spending more money on Tahoes, every beat officer will get a toy horse (the ones with a pony's head on a pole), so they can sit on them and run after the bad guys....
if that was shauwn taylor, he is a piece a shit / oportinist that mostly hangs out near the cta red and blue lines. nice job
What comes out of the hind end of those horses is much more preferable than what comes out of J-Fed or Daley's mouth.
One is honest and natural, the other is more of the usual lies.
OT: "Roma" of Don Wade and Roma is criticizing the police officer for firing his gun in the midst of the crowded Michigan avenue shopping district (her words)
Completely ignores that the woman tried to take the officer's gun of course
coppers should ride horses instead of cars. would not need gps to track them. just follow the horse cookies.
:)
and the honerable award goes to horse.
"Roma" again responding to a caller who backs police on the Michigan ave shooting...." yeah, the message is that you will be gunned down for using stolen credit cards"
The look on that mop's face must have been priceless....the only way to improve on this is to give mounted officer's a good saber.....the cutting power of 3 feet of steel with the combined weight of a horse and rider behind it is pretty "severe", LOL.....
And ya think the horse are there for show........Happy Trails!!
Get the To-Froms ready, everyone except special police, are getting crs from bt 5300 because his bad command decisions let 2nd robbery offender escape in golf course last week. Whoever bt 5300 is, he's one jagoff. He will show you for questioning him on air!!!!!
A horse is a horse of course of course and no one could talk to a talking horse unless of course the talking horse was the famous Mr.Ed !

OT:So, were these two murders added into the totals?
"Joshua Enriquez -- whose former girlfriend was in the car but survived her injuries -- was charged Sunday with first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder for causing the crash near Kedzie and Augusta early May 3."
Just think about it. The horse has done more work than Weis and 1611 1st watch combined!
Did he have his blue lights activated? What was his top speed? Was the offender stopping for traffic signals? Takes a great Sgt. to honor that one.
Mr. Ed says:
The horse gets box 1!
Do they have GPS for the horses and canine yet? Come on Teddy and Jon-ny get the special (ed) projects team working on another failed program. Patrick can call it his police animals of the future project. Don't forget to mount a camera on the animals, also.
I've posted this before, don't give your kid, or for that matter get yourself a combined music listening devise and cell phone.
When my daughter get strong-armed for her I-Pod on the EL, the fact that her cell phone was a seperate device meant that she could call for help.

Now we need to give you lessons on how to use a lasso and how to hog-tie and brand-em.

pool car how about manpower, the other day on midnights in 011 i believe it was sat nite, a sgt split two cars and made them 99 units to have four on the books, at a very busy time in the west side when all the drunks leave the clubs, is that safety, no i believe its a violation of contract nothing against the sgt but an injured officer does no one any good.
START BY TAKING BACK ALL THE TAKE HOME CARS LIKE SGT RAY HAMILTON's
Come on jpud is already to replace cars with cats.that's right blue light cameras on the cats.they can rome the ghetto under cover.cut down on gas and cars.
OT, and I know this should be down a few posts, but, I wanted all your readers to see this. The fake priest flager, has a new flag hanging upside down, again.

Instead of that, why not have issue each PO a broom stick and some cardboard. They can just draw a picture of a horses head on the card board and then duct tape it to the broom stick.
Those who were able to pass the POWER test could also draw a picture of an AR15 on the cardboard. :)
Duct tape and sharpies to do the drawing to be paid for by having each officer docked one hours pay each month.
horses...the new pool car
speaking of car shortages.Is there any reason beat 1108 civilian crossing guard supervisor drives a MARKED SQUAD when there is no car for 1153? There is no reason she needs a marekd unit to run her personal errands. All of us would pay to see her try and get up on top a horse and ride around.
WAKE UP JODY! WE THE BEAT OFFICERS NEED CARS NOT A CIVILIAN.
Pam zitman why don't you follow her around for a day and see what she does on company time.
Area 3 downed my car in 019 today and said there is NOT a pool car available citywide!
Luckily, I could walk over and get another junk car with a 100,000 miles on it!
A real cream puff!
What was the speed of the horse. Was the Sergeant monitoring the chase. Did the officer do a chase report. Where's the license plate on a horse. My bad. Better not give the think tank anymore ideas on how to screw PO's.

In all seriousness, why are you even making any sort of big deal out of a Mounted cop making a bust? Aren't they supposed to do actual police work and not just sit up there looking pretty? Those horses are trained to kick ass - remember a bunch of years back when there was that riot situation in Grant Park? Those horses are trained to crush skulls.

Even Don Wade was getting annoyed with Roma (his old lady)he began to raise his voice at her.
She is a dipshit anyway. They are wine drinkers and she always sounds drunk while on the air, slurring her words and such!
Maybe she has Parkinson's and should just retire.
I can't believe they are the best that chicago radio has to offer!
It would have been great to see the horse rear up on it;s hind legs, the rider shout "AND A HARDY HI-HO SILVER, AWAY" and ride off.

I do, they don't. There have been plenty of times I've looked around me on the street, and every single person within my visual field at the time was talking on a cell phone.
One time I'm walking on a congested sidewalk, approaching the bottleneck at the corner with the light pole placed in the middle of the sidewalk (thanks Mayor Daley) and the eighteen newspaper machines (whose cousin gets permission to do this?) and the huge glass bus shelter that blocks the whole sidewalk (thanks again Mayor Daley.)
A nineteen-year-old girl, business suit, is occupying the last possible few inches a person could get through.
Her back is turned to me, and she's talking on a cell phone.
The guy with her sees me waiting to get by, and literally physically picks her up, turns 180 degrees, and sets her back down in a doorway where she'll be out of the way.
She never missed a beat talking . Never even looked up.
Talking, talking, talking...
Saw two gals striding side-by-side down the street the other day, each one on a cell phone.
I had the distinct feeling that they were hibbety-jibbety with each other.
Something to do...
When someone in a minimum-wage job talks constantly on a cell phone while they "work," burning up minutes like there's no tomorrow, isn't the net result at the end of the week a negative number as far as income goes?

A lot of the stuff they were putting on TV as "guns from the big, bad U.S. that wants to hurt little Mexico" was straight military ordnance -- M79 and M203 grenade launchers with lots and lots of shiny new 40mm ammunition, for example. That sure didn't come from Ed's Gun Shop in Keokuk.
Nothing real complicated here, don't have to go looking far and wide in a situation with tremendous poverty and tremendous corruption. The most likely source was theft/diversion/resale from Mexican Army arsenals, if you ask me.
A question for any 35th Boss who reads the blog. From What I understand the Superintendent ordered and purchased these new SUV's from the CPD budget. So they belong to the CPD and Fleet Management only maintains them. One would then assume that the Ford Crown Vics and every other police vehicle was purchased from the police budget.
My question is why does motor maintenance claim that all the police vehicles belong to fleet management?
I heard that a p.o. got into a argument with a guy from motor maintenance over the new suv's. He wanted to down the vehicle but had no pool car to replace it. The p.o. said no, they needed that vehicle to work the streets for calls for service. The motor maintenance guy said its not their problem if districts do not have vehicles to respond to calls for service and that the vehicles belong to Fleet Management and not the Police Department. So who do the vehicles actually belong to and see the attitude we have to deal with these Area Garages.
There are no pool cars if your car has to be downed. I suggest you have a ride ready to pick you up.
Hey Jody what a great Department we have to work for, just want to say Thank You Very Much.
The mounted officer is a friend of mine. He took up chase after getting off the horse and having the victim hold the horse while he gave pursuit. The thief took off for the tubes downtown but was caught on the last car of a train getting ready to take off. Officer Gutierrez has 28 years on the job and did his job with honor. Take that to the bank Weis....
PS...forgot to mention that Officer Gutierrez was assisted by an off duty PO who happened to be on the train. Apparently a second offender tried to intervene during the arrest and the off duty PO got involved and helped out....

Just down the car if it needs to be downed. Then tell the zone via the radio that there is no car for you to drive and tell the zone on the air that you will be responding to assignments on the CTA bus and on foot.
Let the media get wind of police officers responding on foot because there are no cars to drive.
In progress? 10-4 squad, I will be riding the Western Ave bus to get there and they don't have blue lights or sirens. I'll get there when I get there.
I can remember in 010 beat 1011, there was a copper (I will not mention his name), who worked that beat! The pool cars back then were junk, but at least we had cars, he would drive around with a kids plastic pool,bungee corded to the roof to let everyone know it was a "pool car"1

And the public suffers more and more,due to incompetent leaders (LOL) yea right who have no skills!
Whoa...
Think of how COOL you will look now riding the Clark ave. Bus with Sunglasses @ night!
You are NOW the REAL police!
Impressive... and mysteriously SEXY!
They out us on their screwry 9 hour day schedule, without asking our imput, or giving a shit about how it affects our lives.
So now a regular beat car comes in and his regular car is still out for an hour &1/2, "that is if he even has a regular car. Most of the beats have shit pile pool cars assigned.
So a copper gets some shit pile pool car to drive around in until the "R" car comes in with his regular shit pile pool car.
So the copper gets written up for no front Lic. Plate by some Inspector who needs to justify his existence.
And they wonder why we give up.
