Homicides Up 4%

Shortshanks and Weis continue to play with the numbers, but the one they can't seem to fudge is the number of dead people:
  • Chicago's homicides are up nearly 4 percent compared with last year, Chicago police Superintendent Jody Weis said today.

    While overall crime has dropped nearly 6 percent in Chicago, homicides have increased 3.8 percent, according to crime trends through the end of May. There were 164 homicides between January and May, six more than last year during the same time.

    "Homicides continue to challenge us," Weis said
Amazingly, J-Feld doesn't once mention his recent innovation of "innies" versus "outies." Rather, he concentrates on blaming anything or everything except what ought to be blamed:
  • Weis asked parents to make sure their children comply with curfew laws as the summer approaches. In May alone, there were more than 1,600 curfew violations in the city, Weis said. Children younger than 17 are supposed to be indoors by 10 p.m. on weekdays and 11 p.m. on weekends.

    "Police shouldn't have to do the job of parents," he said. "Please, this summer, know where your kids are."

When the most influential person in a child's life decides not to do their job, you kind of run into a situation like the one here in Chicago. We can only imagine J-Fled's head is still spinning that he even accepted this job not knowing what the hell goes on at the local level of law enforcement away from the cushy federal offices.

The sad truth is (if you speak to retired FBI agents, because currently employed ones won't give you an honest answer), WEISel didn't know the FBI job all that well either.

What has gone wrong ? Back in 1974 the Homicide clear rate was 90 percent, the clear rate for homicides is around 35 percent today. It is a known fact that it is safer to walk the streets of Baghdad than parts of Chicago. How come J-Fled, you the expert. What happened to the clear rate of 90 percent in 1974. Oh yes, many of those homicides were in door homicides. Your a joke as a real police leader. Retired Detective

Tweet, tweet, the little birdies at Fledquarters are chirping. It seem the 'great 4 & 2' schedule was put in place for reasons other than our happiness.

The "overlap" was a ruse and the endgame is to extend 2nd and 3rd Watches and get rid of 1st Watch. This mean 2nd Watch starts at 5:00 a.m. and has 2 or more roll call which will extend 2nd Watch until 5:00 or 6:00 p.m.. The new 3rd Watch will end at 2:00 to 4:00 a.m.. The idea is to have just a few early morning hours to be held by a few P.O.s, SGTS. and either a Field Lt., or worse, and Area Lt.. That's part of the questions the survey is going to answer.

For you 'who cares' guys: bottom line is they have lied. They have drastically reduced manpower and downsized the Department. It's not temporary and they are playing with your lives. We can't protect ourselves, much less the citizens we are sworn to protect.

Who is the Judas Iscariot who is heading this evisceration of the thin blue line? If you are reading this Downtown, ask a few real P.O.s. This is crazy and will not work no matter how many callback initiatives you implement.

The above post from last week may have validity. There are Captains, still upset about being dumped from their second watch perches discussing this topic which is coming from Fled-Quarters.

Weis is a buffoon who's only parenting skills come from owning two cats!! He needs to STFU when it comes to weighing in on parenting issues or lack thereof

I'm just curious to know who the suckasses are that wrote the "more than 1,600 curfew violations in the city".

If there's nothing in it for me, I'm not doing it. Until I can go to court and make 3 hours for writing a piece of paper that makes nary a difference, it ain't gonna happen. You can take this part of the magical CPD "index" and shove it up your ass to keep parkers, contact cards and truancies from getting lonely. The majority of curfews brought home wind up running the streets minutes after the "adult" at home signs for them and the squad car drives off.

About the only portion of what Weis said that makes sense is "police shouldn't have to do the job of parents". Too bad he's so out of touch with the way in which the parents of chronic curfew violators raise their kids to see that his statement will fall on deaf ears. Hey, Jody...you can't reason with animals.

Homicides must be up 300% on the south side because they're down at least 50% in area five, and area 3 never really mattered in that tally.

Caught this story on channel 7 just before the Hawks game the other night. The story runs for a whole minute, touting about the reduction of crime across the board and how safe this city is, blah, blah. Then, as the piece concludes: Homicides in the city increased by 4 percent.

Thank God for other media outlets like blogs. At least if you have to sift through bullshit here, it is mildly entertaining.

"When the most influential person in a child's life decides not to do their job..." -- SCC

That'd be the mother - and she's done her job. Ca'y that baby nine whole month, and I is TIRED of it.

Father? Uh...there are lots of kids out there who have "their pastor" appear in front of the cameras on their behalf after they are arrested, but no father in sight.

Look at the "anti-violence" marches. 99% fat ladies and old men. The distant shouts and sounds of breaking glass tell you where everyone else is and what they're doing...

Failed social experiment.

"Police shouldn't have to do the job of a Parent."

Is that a phrase we can use when Squad calls out a Job because someones Kid doesn't want to do their homework?

The goal is to have 7,000 Sworn Police Officers. This is Daley's goal. Wants to haved it reduced to this number within 2-3 years. Some of ya thought the 4-2 schedule was gonna be great.It isnt working out so great,now is it?Whatever is good for the City is to our detriment. Ya think things are shitty now?Just wait til Daley renews J-Fled's contract.

Currently handguns are illegal in Chicago. So his logic doesn't make any sense. The majority of people who have handguns are criminals. Those without guns are usually referred to as VICTIMS.

5900 Fullerton, store owner drops a wouldbe robber. 1 robber dead, the other two are still on the loose. Brings the total up to 3, regarding civilians who protected themselves with deadly force these last 3 weeks. Castle doctrine and Darwin slowly thining out the criminal herd here in Crook County.

Speaking of Homicides.

Slightly off topic...

"Van der Sloot to do walk-through of Crime Scene."

"Holloway Suspect Van der Sloot Admits Killing Chilean Woman."

How much you want to bet he gave it up when they locked his ass in a room with some old Death Squad veterans and some "interesting" audio/video of some of their "work" from the 70's and early 80's?

He was either going to run and just die a tired-ass somewhere in South America or try to make it to Europe, secure counsel and attempt to be tried in the World Court at the Hague. (cue laugh track...)

Hang his naked ass in oily chains about a foot off the ground w/o restraints and let him run, cry, shit as he tries to hang on...

It's more of a courtesy than he gave his two (as far as it is known) victims.

Perhaps he's a distant relative of king shorty... Pathological muthafucks are birds of a feather.
