Aldercreature Flees Constituents
This doesn't bode well for Shiller's re-election chances:
- A Chicago 2016 meeting Monday night got ugly at the end as some angry Uptown residents went after 46th Ward Alderman Helen Shiller, calling her ineffective.
Alderman Helen Shiller began by trying to explain to some of her constituents that she's concerned with the recent violence.
"The level of violence, actually, is less this year than last although I think that that doesn't mean that we shouldn't be concerned," Shiller said.
But when residents began to get angry, Shiller stormed out and they followed.
And when you have an elected official refusing to stand and take the heat, you usually have a new elected official when the next elections are held.
Shiller has driven that ward into the ground with its myriad of shelters and clusters of halfway houses. And then you have the giant low-income monstrosity at Montrose and Broadway that will be unrecognizable from a Taylor Home project building within two years. Anybody have some political ambitions over in the 46th Ward?
Shaved has the YouTube video up.

I just saw the Ch 9 News (after watching the Cubs lose another one)...anyways, they showed the CAPS Meeting in 023 and it actually wasn't an anti-police story. Kinda surprised...they even had an urban pioneer on who said they were their to show support for their police and try to find ways to help the police. The sitizens were more anti-Shiller.
Hahahaha. "Run Helen Run!"
Over at the Uptown Update page that Irish Pirate guy had some interesting speculation.
http://www.uptownupdate.com/2009/08/uptown-residents-want-answers-from-ald.html
Here is his post
# IrishPirate says: August 19, 2009 12:15 AM
I'm going to post this here since Shller's name is in this topic heading.
"They're coming for you, Helen".
I had dinner, actually it was mostly drinks, earlier tonight with a long time friend of mine. We went to Catholic High school together on da sout side. The only way for this guy to be more connected to the Mayor's political operation would be to be named "Daley" or one of the mayoral sisters progeny.
For purposes of this comment I shall call him "deep sausage". Actually, where we're from it's pronounced "polish" as in the SAZ ege.
Deep Sausage told me in 2003 that Daley and Shiller were working out an endorsement deal weeks before it became public. I was even told who made the overtures on the mayoral behalf. Since DS tends to be a bit of a blowhard I thought he was full of poo poo at the time.
Little did I know.
Well Deep Sausage told me tonight that Mayoral advisors are worried about Shiller losing in 2011 and an independent Alderman, like a Waguspeck(sp), getting elected.
Apparently, they are trying to find another candidate to run and have been in discussions with other Uptown/Lakeview area officials to try to find a candidate.
He speculated that Shiller might be offered a nice cushy job in one of the City 'arts' related departments if she were to "retire" prior to the next election. That portion of the conversation was entirely speculation on his part based on his deep Sausage like knowledge of how the Mayor's people work.
We had an amusing time guessing who might deliver the message to Shiller.
Would it be Tom Tunney bringing some danish over from his restaurant?
Would Ed Burke, unlikely, make Shiller an offer she couldn't refuse?
Would Bernie Stone be delegated to tell Shiller only to find out the Mayor is planning on forcing him out too?
Would Jerry Joyce send his son "Pickle" Joyce to deliver the message?
My money would be on Tunney delivering any such message. If, and it's a BIG if, it gets delivered.
Personally I prefer Shiller stay in office and run so I can watch her defeated in 18 months.
Deep Sausage also speculated that the Mayor is likely LIVID over the coverage of Uptown in the last week. DS claims that the ONLY thing the Mayor is concerned about at the moment is getting the Olympics. Any negative publicity drives the old man crazier than a Bridgeport sewer rat that's been drinking from Bubbly Creek.
I speculated that the Mayor might be worried about the Feds, but Deep Sausage gets a worried look on his face whenever that subject comes up.
Time will tell.
You're next Zalewski and Olivo if you dont get your shit together. We pay alot to live here in Garfield Ridge and Clearing cause alot of us are FORCED to live here so you better get off your asses and start making some changes. When is the last time you guys really drove around your areas? Alleys look like shit, sidewalks falling apart, lights and lightpoles from the 80's, sect 8 housing. I could go on for another 20 lines. Well.........I guess we have no one else to blame but you so get ready for the heat my friends because you are useless. Here's a start, instead of sending kids to my door to sign your petitions why dont you actually go out door to door and show your face Zalewski? You have elderly people here terrified of the recent crime increase and people's life savings in homes here are in jeopardy!!! Make the needed changes or come voting day we will make the changes needed to better suit our communities.
You forget that the shelters and half way house and any flops which are still there will vote the Dem incumbant way.
Uptown blows. It's filled with police hatin yuppies, crack heads, mentals and section 8 bullshit. The police have absolutely no chance up there. They are damned if they do and damned if they don't. They actually have citizens in cars and on bikes following the officers around all day long to document everything the cops do. Third watch has a captain that runs missions all tour long downing so many cars on bullshit missions just so he can say he did something.
Personally i think that the cops that actually try to do work up there are crazy.
... love how the the politicians are falling back on "crime is down this year".
yea, crime is down because of low morale, less police to actually make arrests and a cool summer. Crime is on par with 2007.
vote all of these frauds out.
Montrose and broadway is going to be a total mess when they finish building that new section 8 build.
But right now there are area's all over uptown that are just complete garbage.
clarendon park area, truman college area, wilson magnolia, sheridan leland.
There are halfway houses in just about all the above. There are literally hundreds of crack heads, alcoholics, just released felons, mentals, all roaming those areas. It's a mess. Whoever let them zone all those nut/halfway houses in that small little area is outta there mind. Not much you can do when there's 50 "ex" crack heads hanging out in front of their residence.
And when they get those gov't checks.... oh man, watch out. It's actually funny to watch. Hundreds of roaming crack heads looking to get their fix and alcoholics just plastered laying all over the place.
This police officer salutes the residents of the 46th Ward/Uptown for taking an interest in their community and doing the right thing(Holding Their Elected Officials Accountable For the Disastrous State of Affairs in Chicago)
These individuals didn't go on a blog and whine, they didn't take some Bullshit answer, smoke and mirrors, from Alderman Schiller, they demanded answers and accountability.
Thank-You, each and everyone of you who stepped up and organized. This is what is desperately needed citywide to save Chicago and to save the CPD.
Remember, the CPD is short 2,000+ police officers and this is just the beginning of what is coming.
Ask any KNOWLEDGEABLE old school copper what they see and know.
I wish my ward had such vociferous constituents. City workers can and are harmed if they step up and publicly speak the truth too loudly.
It's the Chicago way.
I commend these yuppies and I encourage this in every ward. It is time for the normal citizen to get actively involved in politics, we need real political visionaries.
Remember that the 2016 Olympics and Daley's Legacy are more important than the safety, security and quality of life of Chicago residents.
Lakefront Liberals are not my cup of tea philosophically, but they did bring us some legitimate candidates. Forrest Claypool and Mike Quigley were the only legitimate members on the Crook County Board.
Remember a liberal becomes a conservative after their first beatdown rape/armed robbery.
This reality must sometimes occur, for the liberal to develop a warranted respect for the police and what they must deal with and do to survive the treachery of urban policing.
People of Chicago, we are your friends! Sometimes we are all you have and many times we are all that will keep you alive.
There was a time that the common thug street vermin FEARED the CPD.
I don't want to run but I have alot of experience helping anyone who wants to!
"Stormed out?" She ran like a little bitch. Um, people, did no one tell you to drive through the area at night, epsecially a weekend night, before your bought your "great, new condo in the next upcoming neighborhood in Chicago?"
The only saving grace is that the Salvation Army shelter at Sunnyside and Broadway closed about a year ago, seeingly without warning.
If these goofballs thinks this is bad, just wait till that new Truman College garage and Target open.
Shiller wants 150 parking spots in the college grage "for the community" and more for commuters. So, where are the students supposed to park. Not to mention the fact that the thing will have to be open 24/7.
Let's see, a semi-enclosed structure in Uptown. I see prostitution, drug dealing robbery, rape, all sorts of assaults, and homeless taking up shelter in the thing, all on the horizon.
And let's not even get started on a Target in Uptown. The theft index is gonna skyrocket.
Welcome to the real world, you clueless, urban pioneers!
Her alligence to king richard and the institution of Diebold machines bode well for her future.
THEY have quit pretending AND so should WE.
Time to grow up.
"This is a press conference- the last thing I want to do is answer a lot of questions"
Typical politician. She can't answere the questions unless they were rehearsed and hand fed to her. She is a disgrace and a bottom feeder! The working people should know that she is a protector of the thug in your neighborhood. She promotes anti-police behavior and does very little while she collects and spends huge checks. Her family member supports the thug and sues the police from his law firm. She loves the dead beat and plays both sides of the coin to get the votes. She does not care about you!
This is beautiful! I don't feel sorry for these liberaltards because they are getting a taste of something that we deal with everyday. They now get to live next door to the people that they defended against the brutal CPD. I love to see them waking up though. Give them a little dose of reality and suddenly what we've been saying all along seems a little more believable. All the aldermen and all of the politicians in the world can't protect you people. When it comes down to it the CPD is your only line of defense. You turn your back on us and you get a little taste of the ghetto.
I saw the commander on the news, she looks like she could use some foot patrol herself and maybe a trip to the cleaners. Oh well just my opinion.
Why are all the Academy personnel being called down to IAD for written satements? Did something happen there recently? I thought that is why they brought in a new staff to clean up the problems that had previously existed
finally a good number of her constituents are starting to see what a POS this person is. hopefully she will be out of office soon.
the female white shirt looked very overweight,sloppy,unkempt hair, wrinkled uniform and yellow stained armpits on her uniform shirt.does cpd have appearance standards for supervisors who speak on television?
She is the #1 problem in uptown, Please investigate her friend DAVIS and the money they are stealing.
Helen Shiller is a POS. WGN morning news stated that she sent "representatives" to last nights CAPS meeting insted of attending herself.
The CAPS meeting turn out was so great that it had to be moved outdoors. So there seems there is no excuse for the local alderthief to miss such a hot topic meeting, no matter what prior plans there may have been. I guess being a part time job, your constiuentes must have some nerve expecting you to actualy do something other then pay lip service.

I love how the 023 Tact Lt and 2361 team are crying because they didn't get charges on the shooter the Detectives told you to go pick up. Easy guys, he wasn't hard to find and you did zero investigation in regards to the shooting. The victims were bigger shitheads than the shooter. Now go find another pisser. Its not the dics fault either.
023 Monday night. A gangbanger shot in the back of the head with a shotgun at 4 am.
Helen Shiller and Marilyn Katz (City Hall insider who claims SDS membership) are two examples of supposed "liberal democrats" who suck at the teet of political cronyism and corruption in Chicago. These "liberals" have been co-opted by Daley and his cronies; their "liberal" credentials a sham. Let's face facts. Shiller sucks as an alderwoman; she doesn't even serve her low-income or mental health-challenged constituency within her Ward. She's just another money-sucking alderperson feeding at the trough of taxpayer revenues and trying to preserve her position. The same grassroots organization that initially fed the Obama campaign should rise up and organize to identify and elect credible independent candidates for local and state elections. Until the apathetic white-collar Chicago voters become angry enough, and therefore motivated enough, to get involved in their communities' problems and concerns, involved with candidate selection, and actually GO VOTE for the independent candidates, then nothing will change.
In Uptown, assigned police patrols would be well-served to solicit support of, and unite with, the yuppie gentrifier residents who belatedly realize that crime is spiking in Uptown because these gangbangers no longer fear anyone or anything. All it takes is one personal experience with serious crime for a "liberal" to realize that namby-pamby policing is ineffective and profiling is good police practice.
Chicago is a Potemkin's Village of pretty downtown and decrepitness elsewhere. The corruption and sleeze is rampant, and no longer hidden, sucking the lifeblood from Chicago. Everyone who cares needs to get seriously involved with local politics. The criminals are now running the joint.
what would happen if dona-hoe
statred going to these meetings...
THE DEPARTMENT KEEPS THE STATS ON THE DOWN LOW B-CUZ THEY COOK THE BOOKS.
DOWNGRADING BURGLARIES!
CLASSIFYING THEFTS IN ALL SORTS OF MANORS.
CLEAR UPS W/ NO ARREST???
THE SAD PART IS DONAHUE IS WINDING HIS TERM DOWN AND IS SETTING UP HIS RETIREMENT GIG.
THE PUBLIC SHOULD KNOW THE TRUTH BECAUSE WE ARE THE PUBLIC.
TELLEM ABOUT:
ALL THE TACT AND GANG TEAMS BEING SENT TO ENGLEHOOD
TEACHEM ABOUT RAPS
TELL THEM ABOUT SGTS CODING JOBS AND NOT EVEN GOING BY THE ADDRESS.
TELL THEM ARREST ARE DOWN
TELL THEM WHY OFFICER WONT BE AGGRESSIVE IN 1 MAN CARS.
DONA-HOE WOULD BE TAKING A SHOT AT THE MAYOR PLUS ANGLING 4 CONTRACT SETTLEMENT.
Residents sometimes think that the police can talk to people, change them, and make them good people. Sorry, things do not work like that and we don't have time to teach everyone manners and respect. When these punks in Uptown or anywhere else in the city get stupid and wild, they need to get locked up without the residents complaining that the police were too aggressive. You can't be gentle to violent and ignorant gangbangers, it just does not work. As long as the radical left wing liberals on the north side continue to bash the police and stick up for the gangbangers, the streets will continue to remain out of control.
Nice camera work on the video.
That hot blonde should run for Alderbabe against that estrogen deficient bitch Shiller.
Buck Naked
I had an opportunity to stop some gang members in Shiller's ward a few days before the last election. As we conducted our investigation they started talking politics and one stated that he didn't vote. The high ranking member then slapped the non voter on the back of the head and said "you'll vote for Shiller, everyone knows we have to do that." Wonder who he got his orders from and what was promised them?
you didnt beliee it, you swallowed everything that daley and weis told you, they shoved it up your -ss dry no saliva, and you still believed that the crime in chicago is down. how about now, are you mad now that its in your footsteps, well now lets see what you do about it. west siders have no money, therefore no choice in making a change. they just pick the one that can promise to give them more free stuf, but you my friend, the money, have a choice to make, stick around and believe the lies or get rid of the liars. if you stick around, everyone will waant to shove it up your -ss.
Seems like Academy RW is following in her mentors footsteps
Last month it was reported that Rugai was at the fed building giving a statement.
Now is Ruthie giving satements for her own troubles and conflicts as a mentor to our impressionable police recruits?
The Apple don't fall far from the 19th Ward Joyce Daley tree does it?

_________________________________
You're mostly right, there are a lot of liberals and police haters in Uptown. But if it's any consolation, I've noticed a shift towards more conservative law-abiding citizens that are pro-police. They're few in numbers, but growing.
I was talking to one of them the other day who said that she hated the "camera dorks" as she called them. She realizes that they chase the police out of her neighborhood.
Does that woman ever bathe?
Get used to it. "Elected" officials are royality here and they don't have to answer to any of you.
I saw the commander on the news, she looks like she could use some foot patrol herself and maybe a trip to the cleaners. Oh well just my opinion.....
LOL,,, NO KIDDIN!!! and a trip to the dentist wouldn't hurt, I thought WALRUS when 'it' came on.... I still laugh when our dept. is called a semi-military org. Now do you think this creature of a commander would lead us into battle, let alone us follow (without laughing). Even my 10 yr old daughter asked as we watched the news, 'who's that' with an eyebrow raised... this dept is soooooooo sad
"This police officer salutes the residents of the 46th Ward/Uptown for taking an interest in their community and doing the right thing(Holding Their Elected Officials Accountable For the Disastrous State of Affairs in Chicago)"
THANK YOU!
As one of those Uptown residents, it's been disheartening to read here all the disparaging comments from the police we support and are trying to work with. I've been here for 15 years and the so-called leadership tactics of divide and conquer have successfully kept community and police from working together to effect any real change.
Tonight there will be a neighborhood watch along Sheridan, North of Lawrence. Tomorrow another CAPs meeting at Margate Park. There are plenty of good people, liberal conservative doesn't matter, who want to make the neighborhood safe.
I wonder if Ginger would ever show up to a CAPS meeting.
OT - A Little
Pastor Helping Immigrant [Arellano] Is A Longtime Driving Force [Rev. Walter Coleman]
Elvira Arellano is the illegal alien mother who sought sanctuary with her American born 7 yr old son in a Chicago church... to avoid deportation in 2006. The Pastor of that church is Rev. Walter Coleman.
Many of you might remember the pastor better by his nickname, "Slim" Coleman, the longtime Uptown community activist whose noisy, confrontational style helped launch ALD. HELEN SHILLER'S political career and made him one of Mayor Harold Washington's strongest allies.
Rev. Coleman is married to Emma Lozano, sister of slain Chicago Latino activist Rudy Lozano.

OT - I was just reading the breaking news story about the latest muggings in Lakeview/LP. I nearly fell off my chair when I read this quote. Laugh your balls off funny.
Here's the article: http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/2009/08/two-men-beaten-and-robbed-in-lakeview.html
And the quote...

Why can't the cops do a sting operation? Send out the most lanky, nerdy looking undercover officer at night wearing what appears to be an iPod but is really an enhanced listening device so he can hear someone sneaking up on him. When the thugs try to jump him, he pulls out his service weapon and fires. Problem solved.
She'll get back in. All the shitbirds vote for her. The 46th is loaded with sec 8. We stood a a pollwatched in the nursinghomes, and they vote for her too.
We note with some amusement how the leftist Police haters and white tee shirt huggers in Lincoln Pk./DePaul, Near North and Rogers Pk. are gnashing their teeth and singing songs of mourning over their now lost perception of safety and insulation from the towering tornado of flames and excrement now whirling unabated in Englewood, Grand Crossing, Harrison etc. Their disdain for the Police was legendary. Now their feelings are hurt because we point and laugh at them in bitter irony and contempt as the societal toilet has overflowed, spilling the contents they though they were so safe and far away from.
Now they cry for the Police to "do something" as they dance around trying to keep the doo-doo out of their birkenstocks & blahniks to no avail.
Sorry people, this is way beyond any individual officer or group of officers to fix. Cry to 42 extra short, cry to j-fart, cry to your local alderthief, cry to the local media. The Police were NEVER out of control. The pieces of faecum you supported and comforted at the expense of the Police being able to exert control and enforce the law effectively are the ones who are out of control in this city.
Oh, and just for your edification; Policing can be an awful, dreadful, heart-breaking, shitty mess with very little black or white and myriad shades of gray. We've monitored comments about the public intentionally not supporting the Police out of concern we would be as violent and ruthless as the criminal element you're losing your perception of safety to.
You cannot begin to understand what we are dealing with here.
In Police work, law breakers of all stripes and persuasions sometimes have to get knocked the fuck down... THE LAW COMMANDS THIS! These individuals have made a choice to accept violent criminal/anti-social behavior as a norm. Society is lax for not demanding swift, vigorous, ruthless and unyielding application of the law and full legal sanction for VIOLATING to law. That is the appropriate response to these nihilistic heathens who ONLY UNDERSTAND THE LANGUAGE OF VIOLENCE. We say pour them a heaping portion for the good of society. What would you have Policemen to do in this current climate of "ha-ha gotcha" when ANY aggressive/proactive action IS CAREER SUICIDE and literally a hanging offense in the eyes of j-fart, the exempts, the public and 42 extra-short? Sorry, we love our families too much to stick our necks out like that ever again.
In the meantime, we are sure the citizenry will enjoy the "new" Chicago Police Department you've been longing for, you're earned it... Don't ever say we didn't try to warn you.
I got this feel that we haven’t seen nothing yet... The time for change came and went... out the window, now there's going to be real change.
Glad to see some folks are still alive...

Ask Billy Joel and Elton John.
She's always so aggressive and obnoxious, it was nice to see her "on the run."
Lot of liberal attacking here. Remember a lot of liberals are pro gun, pro police. Most wise people can't be so easily classified as by one political label.
Off Topic, but why is a FED with his little fed badge hanging out the in OPS command office. And where is OPS command? You call and they answer, but they're not in their office.
I have dealt with Alderskank Shiller and she is no fan of the Police. She takes in piss bums and gang bangers and then criticizes us for our ineffectiveness.
It's good to see the shoe on the other foot.
Vote Republican and never look back. Move out to Naperville and learn to enjoy life.

"Hey ruthie looks like ellyn is smelling your stink" "Quick call ginger, the bat phone ruthie damit"!
"Any negative publicity drives the old man crazier than a Bridgeport sewer rat that's been drinking from Bubbly Creek."
That's possibly the best description I've ever heard of Daley.
Get rid of short shanks daley and these 50 thieves!!!!!
I was just watching the 6:00 news on channel 7 and was giggling like a teen aged school girl watching some mope complaining about the recent string of muggings and robberies, and wanting to know why the police have not caught these guys....News flash idiot, the police don't care about your troubles. You, and people of your ilk have spend more time telling us we are facist, brutal pigs that your plight rolls off our collective backs like water off a duck. Time for you and wine and cheese set to reap the benefits of the seeds you have planted...
What you'll find when you harvest the bountiful crop you so lovingly planted, is a police department who is totally indifferent to your wails for protection when, you collectively, protected this savage street scum like they were an endangered species, panda's should have treated so well...
Now, the beast has turned on you, and you don't like it..Well, enjoy..Maybe you can invite them over for a little brie and merlot and explain to them what they are doing is not nice, and give them a time out...
BYW....Masters, Masters, Masters....
I'm sorry, but when did our neighborhoods become so filled with people that do nothing but whine? Back when gangs were a problem in the 90's, I recall many citizens getting involved and becoming a part of programs to help fix the problem. These days, energy is fixed blaming people. Alderman, mayor, police.
How about using some of that energy to actually fix the problem? Get organized! Go out and help your men in blue. They can never do it alone.
We are totally supportive of the police, we know as citizens of the 20 and 24 and 23 districts your hands are tied.
We need to come together with the police and support new tools such as an ongoing video camera to photo graphs the stupid thugs who think they own our streets.
We have womens groups and going green groups where the hell is the gang unit at every aldermans office, the police can not do this alone.
Shiller and "Slime Coleman" are responsible for getting Daley elected term After term. They are the leaders of the "Lake front Liberals". Looks the the constituents have had it.
Lake Effect News article:
http://www.lakeeffectnews.com/2009/08/19/violence-continues-in-uptown/
Police scanner chatter said the shots came from the vicinity of Lakeside Place and Sheridan Road. One cop was heard saying, “We need help. We’re out here doing real fucking police work and you guys are inside drinking coffee.”
I worked in Uptown in the late 70's as a Paramedic with the CFD.(Am now a 23 Yr vet with the CPD). Firehouse on Wilson ,better than Television. Was a shithole then and I think worse now even with the influx of liberal, Yuppie Pukes.
We need to come together with the police and support new tools such as an ongoing video camera to photo graphs the stupid thugs who think they own our streets.
XXXXXXXXX''
And what the hell are your cameras going to do? Document the crime? You need boots on the ground locking up criminals. Not cameras. You've been drinking Shortshank's Koolaid.

You mean you want the police to shoot the poor man just for trying to take your money? That's a violation of his civil rights.
No, I think you liberals were right all the time. I'll protect the civil rights of the savage predators now.
Enjoy your new police department. You asked for it, you got it.
Don't forget to buy your pepper spray at the hardware store!

Talk to your copwatch friends. There's the problem. It may be too late to fix what they have done. No cop in his/her right mind would risk prison or loss of income by putting hands on criminals while they are being taped and second guessed after the fact.
You should be giving them the grief we've been getting.
I found this blog through Uptown Update and regret that I'm probably one of those people you refer to as 'yuppie pukes'. I've strongly supported the police, come to CAPS meetings, try to stay informed, and keep calling 911 and cleaning up after all the drug dealing next door (day after day after day). Many of us can't stand the people who stand around filming every interaction between police and those they are questioning, and we welcome frequent sweeps through our 'hotspot' block.
But really, what else can we do? When I've called the alderman's office, I've been told that 'the police get all the support they need' and that policing is not something that is their department, and...well, you can imagine.
For those of us who appreciate and support your work but are regular citizens without clout, what else can we (legally) be doing to help you work effectively in Uptown? It's not as if we can afford to be living somewhere else...please don't think we're speculators who hoped to get rich and are now getting our well-deserved hosing by Wilson Yard and the alderman.
Thank you.
Now the liberal, cop watching, thug protecting, Shiller voters get to walk with the monster they created. The police no longer can be the police and the two faced uptown residents have no one to blame but themselves. They want the best of both worlds and think police work is easy and an exact science. Now they have police that are only report takers and event number generators because of the politicians they vote for. Keep filming the police and watching them on their stops and then kiss your neighboorhood good by!
Keep voting for Shiller. The thugs do!

The police no longer can be the police and the two faced uptown residents have no one to blame but themselves. They want the best of both worlds and think police work is easy and an exact science. Now they have police that are only report takers and event number generators because of the politicians they vote for. Keep filming the police and watching them on their stops and then kiss your neighboorhood good by!
Keep voting for Shiller. The thugs do!

Here's the liberal pro-Shiller call to arms against what the police "might" do in response.........
On Friday night around 9pm there was a small riot in the Uptown neighborhood on the north side. According to media reports around 35 people were involved in a "street fight" and police quicky showed up. I dont know what exactly the police did. For the past week similar outbreaks of violence have been reported in Uptown. A repressive crackdown is probably being planned by the police. Uptown is being gentrified and this has put a lot of pressure on low income residents. There will be a protest near Truman College at 6pm today. Apparently Uptown residents are fed up with Alderman Schillers lack of responsiveness.

I found this blog through Uptown Update and regret that I'm probably one of those people you refer to as 'yuppie pukes'. I've strongly supported the police, come to CAPS meetings, try to stay informed, and keep calling 911 and cleaning up after all the drug dealing next door (day after day after day). Many of us can't stand the people who stand around filming every interaction between police and those they are questioning, and we welcome frequent sweeps through our 'hotspot' block.
But really, what else can we do? When I've called the alderman's office, I've been told that 'the police get all the support they need' and that policing is not something that is their department, and...well, you can imagine.
For those of us who appreciate and support your work but are regular citizens without clout, what else can we (legally) be doing to help you work effectively in Uptown? It's not as if we can afford to be living somewhere else...please don't think we're speculators who hoped to get rich and are now getting our well-deserved hosing by Wilson Yard and the alderman.
Thank you.

Then you're not a yuppie puke, just a normal person that happens to live in the area. And as I see you as a normal person living in yuppie-liberal-utopia, I bet you see yourself as an outcast.
What can you do? Stop voting democRAT. Film the bad guys instead of police. Don't waste time calling the alderman, call the State's Attorney to investigate the copious mismanagement of this city. Vote for people that want to improve this city instead of enslave a generation to cultivate votes. Form a neighborhood support group that counteracts the lib-tard groups that protect criminals and criticise police. Take a few "ride-alongs" with the beat cops and see what police work is from their perspective. Ask real questions during the beat meetings like why do police feel like their hands are tied and can't enforce the law, or why morale is so low in the department, or why there are double standards for discipline between clout heavy exempts and lowly POs, or why does the department/city/federal government pursue charges on officers who violate rules but let career criminals go free over and over again... just to name a few.
We live in a liberal city, controlled by liberal politicians, who do not think like you and I. The police are the enemy and should be locked up for any transgression, criminals are misunderstood and should be excused for all they do, and law abiding tax payers should just sit there, be quiet, support the mayor and his 50 thieves, and keep paying your taxes.
Talk to your copwatch friends. There's the problem. It may be too late to fix what they have done. No cop in his/her right mind would risk prison or loss of income by putting hands on criminals while they are being taped and second guessed after the fact.
You should be giving them the grief we've been getting.

It is time for someone to start a Copwatch Watch and follow the Copwatchers around and film them filming the cops.
Two more shootings in A/3 today and its nice that the news media is keeping under wraps a few of these late night robberies. I t might not be politically correct to speak about them.
Has anyone ever did an audit on Slim Colemans storefront church, does he receive government funds? It's been long rumorerd his church was a front for the Spanish Cobras to launder money and hide illegal aliens.
"lanky nerdy looking undercover (fake) officer."........J-Fed, they're playin' your song!
You would think if a working person(tax-payer)is voting for the same candidate all the dead beats, non-tax payers, and thugs are voting for it would put up a red flag. The other candidate may be the better choice. For example Shiller has the votes of all the thugs and dead beats in uptown so she caters to them knowing that with their votes and many of the liberals she has a slam dunk every term. After she wins she turns her back on the tax payer and spends the money on the free lunch crowd. Shiller encourages de-policing!
..."Shiller has driven that ward into the ground with its myriad of shelters and clusters of halfway houses. And then you have the giant low-income monstrosity at Montrose and Broadway that will be unrecognizable from a Taylor Home project building within two years. Anybody have some political ambitions over in the 46th Ward?"...
I have heard strategy from other Aldermen. Create the low-income and Section 8 Housing built by campaign contributors. Built without union labor and fill them with Illegals. The voice of the middle class means nothing to them as soon their votes will be diluted by all the new comers that they have control over. It is how the politicians make some of their money in Chicago, a Sanctuary City.
As a neighborhood falls, buy it up, rebuild it and sell it to some urban pioneer fools for even more money. Stable neighborhoods do not make money for these people, new blocks of "Luxury Condos" do.
It was a pattern started by Richard J. Daley, he built public housing projects to break up low to middle class to Republican voting neighborhoods. (We really had them back then.) Fill them with the new immigrants, which in that case were African-American getting out of the Deep South. Put them in the high-rise ghettos where their votes and lives could be controlled.
That gave us Cabrini-Green, Ida B. Wells and all the rest.
It is not much different today. It will continue as long as the middle class remains silent.
So Stay Safe and vote.
she is the worst of the worst
what a raging liberal...nice birkenstocks!
"And let's not even get started on a Target in Uptown. The theft index is gonna skyrocket."
Actually state of the art security will be used. when you walk in you will be cordoned in a small lobby where you will be free to view the stores merchandise kept safely behind thick "bulletproof?" lexan decorated with local tribal symbols, dust and dead flies.
