Targeted Shootings?

Gang initiations? Something more sinister?
  • O.T. Was buried in the news. Shots fired at the police on the 15th at 85th and colfax. The shooter called in a man with a gun, waited for the P.O.s to show up and when they did a street stop, came out of a gangway and shot at the police and the crowd. The civilian standing next to the cop was shot in the neck.
The perception of outrageous behavior by the gangs isn't just a perception. It's becoming obvious, even to the most jaded among us, that the gangs are testing the limits and responses of police on a near daily basis and suffice it to say, the responses we hear, see and experience don't engender a lot of confidence in the Department's ability to respond appropriately.

a note to my partner--- if some shithead gets the drop on me and kills me please immediately execute him if you are able to do so--- the thought of my surviving family members having to go to court for numerous years to listen to all the bullshit would be unbearable.... I would do the same for you brother....

OT, but not really. Wait til you read what Weis said about the Englewood tv interview (when he said, "Gotta run").

http://www.chicagonewscoop.org/category/news/

The article title is 'Weis in the crosshairs as contract comes up', or something like that. In an interview, the man stated he has improved morale, he's responsible for the 4 and 2's, he's the reason for the new weapons, he didn't start the Federal Cozzi investigation, and, he didn't go to the scene of the shooting on 02 April because he might have distracted the policemen from their work.

They have a comment section.

The city tells you violence is "drug related" or "gang related" because they want you to think you are safe. Afterall, you are not in a gang and you don't sell drugs, so they tell you there is no chance these offenders could hurt you.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

Marked car, uniform; I pulled up next to a lone, 40ish female who was on foot a block north of Division, west of Western, at 2 am one morning last summer. I asked if she was okay, and if she knew what kind of neighborhood she was in.

She got all affronted and said she LIVED there and was unafraid, walking around, since "the gangs only bother each other and not us".

I took note of her description, should there be a call in the area soon, and left. You can't help people who WON'T help themselves.

used to be the police would lean hard on a gang for anything approaching this.....now they KNOW we are weak.
i wanna puke every time i read one of those "just cause" messages.
used to be if a gangbanger took a shot at police, members of his gang would fill emergency rooms city wide.
WE ARE NUTRED AND THEY KNOW IT !
it's going to be a hot, bloody summer.

I think that if I was working a 30 sector car in 025 and I was 10-4 with a rifle, I'd probably be loaded and riding with it in the front seat. If I were a gang car and we were riding 2 cars deep, I'd probably feel a whole lot safer having the rifle out on EVERY street stop. When it bounces back to 75 degrees plus, you're gonna see a whole lot more police fighters. Read the USE OF FORCE orders and understand just where your alternate tools come in.

Maybe this kind of behavior will stop if we keep our blue lights on all the time. Yeah, that ought to do it.

That was true. Offender kept shooting even after the citizen was struck and hit the ground. The officer who was standing inches from the victim turned and saw the muzzle flashes as the offender continued to fire.

I invite any thug shit head to try and test his skills in gun handling against mine any time, anywhere.

Please bring it on. I'm a little upset about this fucking contract thing.

So Tribune columnist Ms. Schmich interviews a neighborhood dog that says cops are the reason for the shootings and crime.

Violence puts chill on a city heating up
Killing sends shivers through South Side neighborhood

Mary Schmich

April 18, 2010

"Young was one of the few people willing to talk to me with his name attached. Another man explained the hazard: "Next thing I know my windows'll be busted out."

The secret to living happily here, that man said, was to lie low. He appreciates the work the police have done to clean up the neighborhood. He still doesn't trust them.

"Cops use you to get their collars," he said, "then leave you hanging. And you got dirty cops. Cops who are in with the dealers. You think they're helping you and then they go tell the boys."

Hey SCC, please in the event I'm ever wounded on duty make sure my face and name is in the media on a daily basis.

As for my partner like our brother said make sure you kill the son of bitch who gets me.

Shots fired at police tonight at South Shore Hospital while TRU, AREA 2 GUN TEAM, 004th District Beat cars were on scene investigating a man with gun call. Offender apprehended, and gun recovered after a short foot pursuit. The police are again targeted at a crime scene. Be safe out there. We are on our own.

-------------------------------------Good response at South Shore Hospital with officers firing back at offender and making arrest and recovering gun. Never mess with the working police. Lt.D. on scene from A2 Gangs with the troops, one guy the working police can relate too.

This is bearing another look. This is yet another example of what is happening on the streets. there were about thirty cops on scene, east and north of the hospital. We are dealing with total a-holes.

and again and again this targeted shooting happened in the 004th district where we still have officers not armed with M4's because they are "fat " yet these " fat " officers are responding to calls in the 004th district. the current policy is so ridiculous that it is playing into the hands of the average gangbanger who knows no fear. what have they to lose? that's what it comes down to, they have nothing to lose cause they ain't got nothing but a few bucks in their pocket and mommy. this current state of events are like a bad sci-fi movie where zombies are coming out of the gangway and shooting at cops. and not only in 004, but all over the city in isolated areas. the gangs have a new breed of thugs. even the older bangers when interviewed are saying that these younger guys are a different bred, they are just trigger happy and they don't care. check the stats, more bangers are doing home invasions ever then before in groups of three for allegiance to the gang.

DONT DO SHIT!!!!! Jesus Christ what more needs to happen for you fucking idiots to realize this??? The city just told us "fuck you, we dont give a shit about you, you are our whipping bitches, and there is nothing you can do about it!" and yet, we continue to respond to calls, lights and sirens, 10-99, street stops without backup, etc etc AND FOR WHAT? 2%???? Fuck that! See no evil, see no evil, you get what you pay for! Time to send the city a message back...YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR ASSHOLES!!!

kinda like the bogus call of a "person shot" call going on at 900 N Lavergne. Its been ongoing call in 015 for several months now.

And the sad part is, po's are getting laxed at responding to the particlar call.

Of coarse nothing is ever done to the find out who the caller is.

Now what is that about? We are getting the rug pulled from under us with our contract, our pension and the punk ass head of Police and Fire AKA Little Jfled, and you have time to try and single out someone on the scene. Guess what, the asshole shooters could care less who YOU think the real police are, they are just shooting. Enough of this bullshit, lets ban together, watch each others back and remember, we need to go home at night!

Any police officer on the scene is the real police, So fuck you! NOne of the police fled and bosses galore showed up to give us support. I was there, were you!

That agency appears to be under siege like the rest. I left a comment about 11 this morning and they would not publish it. They still show no comments as of 810pm. I'm sure I'm not the only guy who blasted the article.

You'll find the same happening in Uptown, Pilsen, and North Rogers Park, it's like walking through the SanDiego zoo, sooner or later the predators going to get a taste for a different type of meat. sigh.
