What are they doing? Charging you for comment space on each posting? LOL So you are trying to save a few bucks!!!
This is actually sad.
WTF?
Right now J-fled is looking at the episodes of Hill Street Blues to see how Captain Furillo conducted his gang summits.
This is what happens with the end of pro-active policing. . . . .
Actually i personally feel a lot better: less CR numbers, less lawsuits, less stress.
i just heard of a boss (lt.) who put himself in box 1 of a high profile arrest report. heck let all the lts., captains, and exempts start doing all the arrests!! maybe the captains, with their "added presence" of meri-cloutorious-ness and hot air, can cool the jets of the savages out there. just tell them "hey you guys, knock it off."
i've yelled "knock it off" on the p.a. at a few corners, but they don't listen to me (maybe they will listen to the gold stars). i didn't want to violate their constitutional rights so unless the anonymous complainant wants to step up to the plate, there was nothing else i could do. 19P.
why stick your neck out for a community that hates you and never backs you up?
Be safe out there brothers and sisters. the heat wave is coming.
Good! Show the public what the city has become. I bet Bill Cozzi would have taken on a bunch of thugs.
They're attacking the joggers and the suburban tourists. We fear it's just a matter of time before Chicago ends up with a "Central Park jogger" type scenario.
Can we get a Bernie Getz??? At least he has a gun and was ABLE to defend himself!
Yep, that Jody fella has it all under control my friends.
A coupla hot days and the city is melting, but don't worry, there are only 9 main blocks that the trouble is coming from.
Well maybe a few hundred more blocks, but don't fret none, Jody ordered his staff of Gold Stars and Captains to be out there and doing some spot checks in the field to turn this crime wave around.
Plus all the Blue Light Cameras are to be turned on for real and have real lenses and real connections to OEMC with real live people watching them so they can record real crimes in progress and hope that there might be an officer nearby to make a real arrest.
And if that don't work, he is going to bring in all the grade school & High school children that were deputized as Junior Police.
They have more concealed weapons than the entire police force!
Ya gotta love this city, a lot of honest people paying heavy taxes to a group of dishonest politicians who lie, cheat, steal, and spend the money on themselves and their friends so they can tell the taxpayer they need more money!
What's the use........
Welcome to the killing fields!
Summer Mobile.
Rumor has it Mobile Strike Force will be branching off. Summer Sand Force will be up and running soon I hear!
Daley thinks he's a genius by selling off city assets and not hiring any police. The city going to hell faster than anyone could ever imagine due to his stupidity will seal his fate.
Saw the mayhem for myself tonight at north ave beach. Beach had to be closed, this makes me sick. For christ sake liberal people wake up and support us already before it's to late, this goes for the news media too. Trust me, we are not afraid, it angers us to see these thugs running amuck. We don't like the fact that they are being disrespectful to our face. The unfortunate thing is that police work is dirty. You can send a guy to prison and it doesn't scare him, but the police whooping their ass, that scares them. So if you want us to work for you and put these thugs back in check , you must turn a blind eye when we bend the rules to favor the tax paying citizen. Stop with the bullshit complaints, lawsuits and for Christ sake stop recording us video and audio. It's for your own good, we'll be here when you decide you need us. In the mean time, good luck and god bless.
North Ave beach bar forced to close? And, now we're getting half a dozen more of these bars because the city council voted for it a couple of weeks ago.
Long, hot summer ahead.
I have been kicking back on my little lake front deck resting these old retired bones in SE Wisconsin. I really sympathize with you guys back there. When the gangs have shown a penchant to become more violent that ever, letting the number of police officers dwindle IS NOT a viable plan to solve the problem.
Whomever is in charge of the PD, Daley or Weis, neither has a clue how to stop this wave of murders and violence.
Fact is, you cannot change the trend as long the prosecutors won't prosecute, the judges won't judge and sentence, and the jails are just a revolving door that puts these scum back on the street after a short stint in the joint.
The blame can start with former 018 commander Joe Griffin, now Inspector General for the CTA. He eliminated the North Ave beach police detail. This is what he was warned about 10 years ago, and ignored those warnings.
For his good work he has been given a parade of good city jobs since retiring from the CPD. first Inspector General for the Cook County Sheriff and now the same job at CTA. It is good to have friends in high places.
Hey jody, just tell them to knock it off!
I heard at least 6 guns recovered in the third district in the span of an hour, after a person was shot. Good luck to the south and west sides this weekend
Any chance of getting issued Rubber Bullets so we can just shut them down from distance and clean them up while they are on the ground in pain?
MY god just wait til the taste of chicago. We've lost it. Again the libs/media got the police dept they wanted. I didn't see anything.
Oh I just can't wait for the taste of chicago....
awesome!
"KNOCK IT OFF!"
I think a "STOP" mission or a "FOCUS" mission ought to do the trick.
Knock it off guys!
Someone who lives near there needs to get some video. A nice youtube expose might force Daley into action.
The groups of savages have been overwhelming to say the least. You know that there are plenty of guns in that midst, so let them kill each other, then just do the paper.
On those steamy nights right through Labor Day, J-Fled has decided he will personally walk the beach bike path esplanade from the Chess Pavilion to Fullerton Pkwy. to show us how it's done. He's further agreed that he will be accompanied by only one "partner", both in plainclothes.
Since Beat 1814 was ranked safest in the city for violent crime (Sun-Times, 4/23, pp. 20-21), J-Fled will prove to all that he doesn't just "talk the talk". What a guy!
Be careful out there this summer. You are shorthanded and outgunned and it seems the assholes are getting bolder. Go home in one piece each night. My thoughts and prayers go with each and every one of you. I so remember my nights and days in 003 and 006.
If they had to close Castaway's at North ave beach I'm sure the midget is going to get an earful from Phil Stefani. It's going to be a fun summer!!
"on your right" did you think they would move?
God help the citizen who killed (with an unregistered gun) the cat burglar in 011 in 600 block of N. Sawyer Ave. early this morning. Da mare will want that citizen to do at least five years in Pontiac.
Word is that Area 4 HGS wants to buy the victim a few rounds (beers and bullets) for taking lethal action against the piece of shit after they were compelled to charge him with "failure to register".
just read the article, after getting punched after saying "on your right" the jogger said "thats not cool" only to be punched again. DON'T BE A PUSSY. FIGHT BACK. if you die do it with your dignity intact. if someone hits you it is a green light to beat the fuck out of them.
Check out The Face Book Page "Mayor Daley must go"
We all know that J-Fled is a coward. You can bet your life savings that he will never appear in the belly of the beast.
J-FLED can "talk the talk" as a certain cure for insomnia. He'll never "walk the walk". No cojones!
If we had a legit mayor, he would name the octogenerian from N. Sawyer Ave. "Citizen of the Year" for smoking the armed predawn home invader in 011.
8:31 AM ("Citizens of Beat 1814")
FUGGEDABOUDIT!
J-Fled would need an economy size box of Depends and an entourage of SWAT teams even if he patrolled North Avenue Beach sealed inside a M1A1 Abrams tank.
There's three pussies staying at the crib of the COWARD.

Here's a YouTube vid of a "fight" at North Ave Beach bar within the last week. Not sure if it is the fight that closed the beach. Appears to be Jersey Shore-ish. Have fun and go home safe.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuEaKgs9vW4
The wife and my twins decided to take a stroll up wells and head east on north ave to the lake. We encountered numerous M 1's and F's motherfucking everything from their children to the liberals that part of town. Saw many in the park with their ghetto plastic cups filled with cheap shit liquor. A police officer told them to keep moving and heard a yuppie state why do the police officers keep messing with the poor folks. Here is the answer SO THEY DON'T BASH YOUR HEADS IN YOU DUMB NAIVE LIBERAL.
I pissed at myself because I broke my rule of never to hang out in the city. I always go to the burbs. This is sad it used to be a great place to hang out.
Brothers and sisters like a comment ago stated watch what you do. Those yuppies will rat you out in an instant.
To make it better, I heard that Dugan gave all the police CR numbers in the 18th district cause someone said they didn't do enuf to prevent the violence at the beach. Anyone got details? On Youtube, Dugan is seen standing at the fight watching the police wrestling on the ground. This is your leadership? This is who has your backs????
The Mods & Rockers are rumblin' on the beach?!
The events at North Ave Beach last night were both sad and terrifying. As my friends and I watched from a distance as the brawl kept going and more and more people kept running towards it, our next thought was someone was going to pull a gun and start shootng. I have no idea where all these kids and gang bangers come from, but they were looking for trouble all night. On top of that, they trash the beach.
Hello out there/their fellow gang and tactical warriors!!
I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it with my own two eyes. I picked up this fat chick at Durben's Bar and we went down there/their last night.
A pack of savages headed straight towards us on the attack. Luckily, I wasn't just wearing my tactical red thong, but I also had my tact-belt on also. After lobbing a few mace grenades at them they dispersed.
No disrespect to any Korean war veterans, but yesterday was worse then the battle of Normandy against the Chinese. Stay safe Delta Warriors.....
Summer fun at the beach.

Fuck with a guy like this,crime will be way down, why not Charles Bronson (RIP) style!
Going downtown this weekend with the family. Sorry Mayor, but I WILL be prepared to defend myself and my family.
if some boss told me to arrest the old man for "failure to register," i'd tell him do it yourself: i didnt see nuthin. we as police have discretion in who we charge and don't charge. the detective division, narcotics, and who knows who else uses this discretion on a daily basis. don't be bullied by political correctness or some hack supervisor who wants you to put your butt on the line. it's time to step aside and let the supervisors lead from the front.
Remember the citizens, politicians, and media don't want us to do anything more cause it might hurt someone's feelings or offend a certain racial group. Okay, hands off now. No problem. See what happens... Actually, see what IS happening because of this mentality. You wanted it, it's here. Hey Chicago, Thanks for the 1% raise we got during the contract. I see that you appreciate us working so hard and dealing with people you wouldn't get near on a midnight shift year after year after year. You get what you pay for. Remember the proverb, "Rub my back, I rub yours". Well, it goes like that. Thanks Mayor and Chicago for remembering us during our contract, which was expired for several years before you gave us this joke of a percent raise. Remember guys, look out for #1 and go home safe to your families which is the priority, besides watching the back of your partner.

You must be a PPO. Pro-active police work is dead. We will never get permission to kick ass, or bend the rules. Those who do will be fired, sued and put in prison. The cameras will never be shut off, more cameras will be installed. This is the 21st century CPD.

I'm liberal, I fully support my police department, and I'm sickened by the current situation with this asshat mayor and police lakey.
Please don't lump all us tree-huggers together and we won't lump all you gun-totin' folks together either. We need to get all these asshats out of office, especially those pathetic judges.
Wait til all you company five year wonders (since theres no such thing as two year wonders anymore) have to work the taste of chicago. You guys have fun with that. I'll be cozy sitting inside my cruiser with the AC on full blast.
Stay safe

Too bad only cops read this.
can't believe this shit is going on with top cop chaser on the beat
Where are Jesse Jackson, Meeks and Phleger now? Haven't heard a peep, huh? Policeman gets killed...nothing. Lakefront overrun by thugs...nothing. Now if the police kill one of these young punks, watch them all come outta the woodwork with their marches and bullshit. That way they can get a piece of the action on the lawsuit and buy more pimp suits. Then Daley can say we need more camaras. They can then line the whole lakefront with camaras and someone gets a real good contract to sell them at triple price, then service them. Its all about the money. These same no working thugs get free cell phones from the tax payers, free rent,food stamps, free phone minutes, free day care for all 5 kids, free insurance. Hell, I'm the fool for working!!!!

That ship has sailed.
Their support will change nothing. The dominos were set back when Hillard was doing the mayor's bidding for this department.
The citizens and this department will support you when things go well and drop their support at first convenience.
The dominos are set. Nothing can stop what will happen this summer. Nothing can change what has already been cast in stone.
All the city can do is watch the dominos fall.
This city needs some Charles Bronson or Bernie Goetz type to start cleaning house by pulling a few triggers. That would end this shit real fast.
Which is the funniest? J-Fled's "knock it off" or the battered jogger's "that's not cool". In both cases, one thing is certain: The bangers are absolutely terrified.
All the mutts now solemnly swear that they'll behave themselves in the face of such a Draconian response. No more murders, mayhem, sexual assaults, robberies and batteries. They're going to tone it down to just weed, crystal meth and bagged 40 ouncers.

In what city will you be enjoying this "cruiser" thing?
8:31 AM
Great idea. J-Fled will "walk the walk" alone on a hot night after hell freezes over.
Truth or Dare, COWARD!
To the 12:23 AM post...let the bosses put their names in the first box. Unless things have changed drastically, they are the ones who will have to go to court. At least when bosses did that 20 years ago they were smart enough to put their names in box 2 so they could get the credit and do absolutely nothing. Ah...the good old days.
Where do those who live in the ghetto find those names they use for their kids?
I was taking the family downtown this weekend but we have to decided to go somewhere safe, like Gary.
Has mayor stupid incresed his body guard detail, you know, just because.
It's silly, just silly. I gave the police a raise, go out there and do your job, it's silly just silly!

---------------------------------
Ever see that comic book movie "The Watchmen"? Not a bad movie but not great. There was a line in that flick that the guy with the mask that changed all the time had. It went like this...
"There will come a time when they will scream 'help us' and we will whisper 'no' ".
For years you filmed us, waiting for us to slip up, when we were trying to protect you. For years you held up lawful and in policy use of force high and touted it as "police brutality". For years you would interfere and obstruct us when you had no idea whatsoever what our job, or the law, was. For years you took the side of the criminal and assumed that they were right and we were wrong without even bothering to look at what was happening with even the smallest amount of common sense. In short, for years you demanded from your false moral high ground that we not do our jobs. You thought that would have no effect? What did you expect?
So now you are screaming "help us?". Well sir, we are whispering "no".
Me and mine? We are WELL protected. Believe that sir. After all these years and all your pompus false morality? After all this time of you embracing what is quite literally evil while you try to destroy my brothers, sisters, and I for trying to protect you? This is what you wanted so it is what you get.
I'm liberal, I fully support my police department, and I'm sickened by the current situation with this asshat mayor and police lakey
An analogy...
I'm an atheist and I support religion.
I'm a Klansman and I support affirmative action.
I'm a socialist and I support free market capitalism.
I'm Obamao and I support the United States...
in other words, the terms are mutually exclusive. If you are a liberal you support entitlements for ghetto thuggery, expanded restrictions on the police and law enforcement and race over qualifications.
That's what liberals do.
Stop fooling yourself.
Summer fun at the beach.

----these mutts that narrate these videos are funny....no idea what it takes to be the police or work for a living, for that matter...yeah the reason all the blacks are in cuffs are because they dont care that when the police get there its all over...he took that female and male down because they made contact with him...if anyone is bogus it's you mr. amateur mutt filmmaker...you have been for all your life and you will continue to be...keep on blaming everyone but your own people...always ruining a good thing...
The only thing that will resolve this is if the citizens start carrying guns and killing these thugs themselves or hire private security. Executives will need bodyguards to sit at outdoor restaurants on Rush St and to go to sporting events. Regular citizens will have to kill the crooks themselves. Buy insurance and you're all good!
if some boss told me to arrest the old man for "failure to register," i'd tell him do it yourself: i didnt see nuthin. we as police have discretion in who we charge and don't charge. the detective division, narcotics, and who knows who else uses this discretion on a daily basis. don't be bullied by political correctness or some hack supervisor who wants you to put your butt on the line. it's time to step aside and let the supervisors lead from the front.
Not true. Ask chief brown. No officer in 192 can make their own arrest decision. He still runs the unit through the fkd up world of oz.
Dugan must be besides himself! Any negative press on this and it hurts his chance at being superintendent big time!
Just saw daley on channel 32 said police are not on the beaches yet because cpd doesn't send them until after memorial day. What a liar. We all know there has been no beach detail since 2004 because of lack of manpower.
Daley said those incidents on north avenue were isolated incidents and he looks at everything. More lighting, the weather, everything.
The pendulum swings again. Now they are gonna pull some bike patrols out of their ass and create a lakefront unit.
Cut your specialized units by 20 percent using reverse seniority. Get the manpower on the street. Lots of dope and gang investigations are non existent and just stories to justify some useless sergeants and officers existence in hiding. Everyone in specialized units know it. Not everyone is really working.

We are at a very dangerous time right now with the worst and weakest leadership EVER!!! There is no way any one of us should trust these selfserving back stabbers. They will always be out for their own self gain and burn us to get it.
Coward J-Fled will stay out of harm's way at any cost.
11:00pm-Wednesday... On WLS 890 am, it was reported that DaLey was down pLaying the gang activity and the crime on the Lake Front... DaLey said, "We get this every year". Then of course he did aLot of mumbLing and humming and hawing...
Was at Normandy Park tonight, with my small kids,just having a nice time with other families in the playground area when these Fucking mexican gang bangers pulled up and started a huge fight, the kids were crying,lots of punks there fighting, but thankfully the understaffed hard working CPD officers responded in droves along with a huge fire truck,and arrested a lot of this scum! As a retired Vietnam Soldier I am not going to let these punks destroy our neighborhood, I have extreme training in flame throwers, since we cannot have a gun in this criminally run city another method will be used! Fend for ourselves ok, we will! Crispy or extra crispy I am tired of this shit, it better stop now or else the police will have help taking back what is ours!
TAKE OUT THOSE FUCKING BASKETBALL COURTS, I HEARD A GIRL FROM ALDERMAN ZALEWSKI'S OFFICE WAS THERE AND PROMISED THEY WOULD REMOVE THESE IMMEDIATELY LETS SEE IF ZALEWSKI CAN KEEP A PROMISE!
Lastly THANK YOU to all the officers that responded you are much appreciated here, sorry this mayor and that j-fled goof have attempted to destroy your morale GOD BLESS all of you! If you need us the citizen Calvary will respond in ways the punks will understand! THEY WANT A WAR WE WILL GIVE THEM A WAR!
Just a note Normandy park is located at 5200 S. Normandy in Garfield ridge,on overworked great beat cops 811 and 859 beat!

Nah, just look at all the knuckle-heads who have been superintendent, Fred Rice, Leroy Martin, Matt Rodriguez and on. Not exactly a group of genius police there.
In fact, if I were applying for the job I would simply write on my resume to Daley: "Jesus Fucking Christ, you made Matt Rodriguez Superintendent for Christ sake and I Dan Dugan am not half the idiot he was." That ought to get Dugan the job, no problem.

Magazine: Illinois among worst states for business
Published on May 13, 2010 8:28 AM | Submit a comment
By Mary Ellen Podmolik | The good news is CEOs don't think any any less of Illinois' business climate than they did a year ago. The bad news is there are only five states considered to be worse places to do business in than Illinois.
For the second year in a row, Illinois nabbed spot No. 46 on Chief Executive magazine's annual ranking of the best and worst states. The results, derived from a survey of 641 CEOs across the country, looked at issues like proximity to markets and resources, regulation, tax policies, workforce quality, educational resources, quality of living and infrastructure.
Where did Illinois fall short? CEO's gave the state low marks for its overall business taxes, sales taxes and unemployment insurance tax.
Texas walked away with the No. 1 ranking, for the fifth consecutive year.
Who did Illinois edge out? The five worst states, in descending order, were Massachusetts, New Jersey, Michigan, New York and, in last place, California.
"Who did Illinois edge out? The five worst states, in descending order, were Massachusetts, New Jersey, Michigan, New York and, in last place, California."
If Illinois ranks #46, what is the new 51st state? The Commonwealth of Confusion?
