Thank Tommy for the Rain
Once again, after a second violent night in Chicago....
At least 12 people were reported shot and three of those victims died from their injuries following separate shooting incidents throughout the city.
The shootings started Sunday afternoon and continued into Monday morning on the South, Southwest, West and North Sides.
.... Tommy Skilling rides to the rescue and brings on a mix of showers, lightning and storms to wash away the lion's share of the mayhem.
And here's a laugher:
And here's a laugher:
- No one is in custody for any of the shootings. Wentworth Area, Calumet Area, Belmont Area, Harrison Area and Grand Area detectives are investigating.
Gee, that's Area 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. Looks like a sweep!

Next time lets get bomb and arson in the mix too. And what are the odds of getting financial crimes involved? That would be real interesting.
Chalky, are you up to the challenge?
Not sure how to link to photos. But I saw some really funny pictures of some Olsuma supporters holding METAL chairs over their heads to protect against the rain. ( Who cares about lightning)
Aw, come on, how unfair can you be? Monday was warm AND a holiday. Murder and mayhem are inevitable.
JODY SAYS:"THEY DONT COUNT IF THEY WERE INDOORS !!"
THEY WEREN'T PLAYING THEIR CAR RADIOS LOUD OR DRIVING AROUND WITH EXPIRED TEMP. TAGS !!!
WE ARE OBVIOUSLY BEING OUTWITTED BY A GANG OF CRIMINAL MASTERMINDS !!!
It would be most interesting to see the homicide clearance rate by area for the total 521 murders which occurred last year.
Breakdown by area should include:
(a) Cleared by Arrest(s)
(b) Cleared Exceptional by (1)death of offender(s) or (2)other bar to prosecution (specify).
(c) Offender(s) identified; murder warrant(s) issued ("known but flown")
(d) "mysteries"
The media does not report homicide clearance rates. Why? Many years ago, we cleared about ninety percent of all homicides. Rumor has it that less than one in three are cleared these days. Could this be attributed to a severe shortage of detectives? What other factors could cause such an abysmal clearance rate?
It appears that the odds are good that one can now get away with murder in Chicago.
So, what were the totals from fri through sun @ 2359hrs???
Could a low clearance rate have anything to do with merit detectives lead, invariably, by merit sergeants and merit lieutenants? Would the AMA allow for merit doctors, would the ABA allow for merit lawyers? Hardly. Public employment, the armed services, and police and fire departments in particularly have been the proving ground for failed affirmative action theories for nearly forty-years. And a low clearance rate is yet another symptom of a system gone wrong. Those liberal chickens have come home to roost.
Snitches be Bitches!
Law of the Jungle
023, a mostly slow district, has had 3 or 4 shot in 36 hrs.
I have a fantastic idea. I think we should build a memorial to all of the poor innocent people who were killed in Chicago. It would be a great way to embarrass the mayor. Especially during election season coming up.
The place to build it should be on the North side since if we built it on the West or South sides, after a while, people would be just immune to it. Any thoughts? Ideas? I am serious about this.
It's George Bush's fault!
J-FLED STILL HAS A CAP ON OVERTIME IN ALL THE AREA'S REGARDING THE DETECTIVES.
IF THE COMMANDERS AND LT'S DONT FOLLOW THE RULE THEY WILL BE SHIPPED OUT TO PARTS UNKNOWN.
THE ONLY CASES BEING WORKED
IRISH GIRL FROM SCOTLAND BEING BEAT BY HYPES
WEIRDOES FROM OUT OF TOWN WHO STAB THEMSELVES IN DOWNTOWN.
BEACH SHOOTING AND ROBBERIES NEAR THE BEACH.
BIG SHOTS THAT STEAL THEN KILL THEMSELVES BECAUSE THE KNOW SHORTSHANKS.
MAYBE WE SHOULD TELL THE VICTIM THAT THEY WILL NEVER BE AN INVESTIGATION FOR
BURGLARY
AUTO THEFT
AGG ASSAULTS
CAR JACKINGS
ROBBERY'S WITH NO VIDEO
DOMESTICS
MISSING CHILDREN
REMEMBER J-FLED WANTS HIS SALARY CUT AND HE STILL WILL STICK AROUND.
CRIME IS DOWN IN STATS AND IF J-FLED KEEPS COST DOWN HE WILL BE STICKING AROUND.
To the SSC Blog Reading Public:
There aren't enough detectives, or police for that matter. But don't worry, 2011 is an election year, stats at year end will prove the City is in great shape. Hiring will resume, crime will fall, trees will be planted, cats & dogs living together ..........
Murder rate percentage cleared to amount of Detectives on the job? I don't think so how about the QUALITY of Det's, several years ago Phat Phill changed the requirements to let anyone with ONE year off probation to take the Dick's test (real good experienced Dick's or some bosses kid did not want to be in the patrol div anymore) before that it was a minmium of 5 years before you can take a Sgt's, Dicks or any other test for promotion. They should bring back the FIVE year requirement and then you might see a better quality investigators and the clearance rate might go up.
"It appears that the odds are good that one can now get away with murder in Chicago.

As evidenced by J-Fled still "earning" over $300K a year.
The offender to 4600 S. California is in custody in the hospital thanks to the bloodhound police work of tactical officers. They not only followed the blood trail for a few blocks, but they also took their own initiative and checked local hospitals, locating the offender and his transportation in less than 45 minutes after the cowardly execution of an innocent victim.
Well Done!
Speaking of sweeps - I am truly disappointed SCC.
Not one hockey post about our beloved Chicago Blackhawks!! I thought you were a fan :(
Mary
Pretty bad when you have more people shot in Chicago in one weekend than in Iraq and afghanistan. Think there is a slight Problem Shanks? Whaddya gonna do about it? Exactly. Absolutely nothing, but watch this once fine city crumble around you.
Even Mary Mitchell is asking, Where are the Police? I have to admit I loved the way she told the mayor, Chicago is the wild Wild West wake up!!
It looks like Mary Mitchell is calling out Shortshanks on the shortage of Police in her latest column.
Jody please tell your Boss da mayor that sanctuary cities raise the crime rate
drugs , guns
unlicensed food vendors = no state or federaltax for chicago
As to the shooting of two in the 025th district. I was one of the first cars on scene and when I asked the silly question of who shot you ? Can you tell me ? The answer I received was this, fuck you white cop I aint telling you shit. Hmmmmm maybe that's why there is noone in custody. All I will say to that is to bad these are only 041A I'd much rather see 0110 across the entire city. Hey Uncle Jody this summer is going to be a bloody one and the blood is on yours and da mayors hands. Enjoy the ride and bring plenty of PPE Kits
Could this be attributed to a severe shortage of detectives? What other factors could cause such an abysmal clearance rate?
Quit fooling yourselves about detectives being the cure to lowering the homicide rate. A lot of our current detectives are arrogant,overpaid ego maniacs; the others are overpaid clerks that couldn't catch a homicide offender with GPS. Most of them, if they ain't taking a two hour lunch or shopping trip, are stuck behind a computer for upwards of five hours catching up on last month's BS!
Then, especially in area two, you have an incompetent hack merit lt ( AC) that farms out the homicides offenders to some idiot strike force and never gives info to the district unless the strike farce strikes out!
The detective division is doomed, and promoting more detectives is a waste of time and money.
More importantly I hope we sweep the flyers
Off Topic: See Mary Mitchells column as she bashes the crap out of Shortshanks,calls for more Police hiring and pronounces the city "the Wildwest" . When this woman calls for the end of the gun ban, the shit has truly hit the fan !
What the taxpayers don't know:
POLICE OFFICERS on the streets, down by about 50%.
DETECTIVES to respond, down by 40%
ET's/CRIME LAB( thats CSI to the rest of the world ) down 50%
GUN LAB POs down 66%
The ability of the CPD to support the guys on the street, down 50%
Chicago Police Managment, over by 25% and growing by the month
Money diverted from the police to city hall projects: Unbelivalbe!!!
Royal Flush!
"warm and a holiday"
Everyday is a holiday when you don't work.
This Daley quote was in the middle of a story about the Guardian Angels supposedly patrolling the lakefront --
"This is an early summer, much earlier than we've ever had it before."
...and no one will be more surprised than the Mayor when it snows again. "Unprecedented," etc.

Mary Mitchell who's column I cant stand reading, is on target this time.
AREA 3? WTF, I thought that was a safe place to hide? Dam it, now what... Can not go any where in this schity and hide
Watch mr mayor, if he even acknowledges this just say it's no biggie the city is safe and more then fun, pack up the family and head to the lake front, enjoy my great city, jody has it under control
This city IS A JOKE
one big obstacle to homicide investigations is the decree that Maria Maher signed a couple of years ago with the Federal Courts regarding investigations and all of the other shit she put into play when she paniced, shit in her pantaloons and gave away the store to the ACLU and other communist orgs. She didn't have a clue, a real idiot.
Well, area three could be in trouble, because they haven't solved a shooting/murder in about two years. If it gets cleared, it usually comes from info gained at the district level. Sad but true.
Same thing happening in area 5.
left the job almost 10 yrs now from the 022th dist where i was for 3 years coming from gresham,i thought i died and was in heaven until that little prick harry holmes came in as DC.as senior guy in dist i was sent to work a 99 car on east end while gingers lap dogs all worked west end and knitted booties.Knightley a good guy said hey your on west end car till you go, so i cant complain, from what i see its more dangerous now then when i left.just let these bongo heads kill each other a survive for the 1st and 16th.take care guys i had a great ride, from FT MEYERS FLORIDA, GULF HARBOR.
I see the ball-less sergeants approved their contract. All that holding out and for what? What a bunch of city yes men. They had Daley by the balls. He stood on T.V. and told the patrolmen to blame their union for the contract and not taking the 16%. The sergeants should have made him honor that 16% or go to arbitration. Same old story here no balls for union leaders.
"And here's a laugher:
No one is in custody for any of the shootings. Wentworth Area, Calumet Area, Belmont Area, Harrison Area and Grand Area detectives are investigating. Gee, that's Area 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. Looks like a sweep!"

SCC: Please give credit to the detectives for not getting wet during their investigations. Nice weather on Tuesday and because of this, you'll see some arrests!

It also sounds like Mary Mitchell is warming to the CCW idea.
After all the rants against it, anyone want to bet that she will be one of the first ones to sign up for it if it becomes law???

Must be the stellar leadership?
Problem solved! The democRAT morons , who make up the County Board, wast to "punish" Arizona.
Apparently there are so few problems in Chocago and Crook County that this merry band of half wits think it would be a good idea tp export their stupidity to Az.
A lot of votes to be stolen from the illegal aliens!
On the way home today from work Gary Meier/WGN was saying that someone shot 6 times at the WGN/Michigan Ave. studio window. Anyone has any more info. on this? He was saying that this didn't even make the paper or TV. Incredible that even WGN was trying to play this down.

See that post, Ultimate Tactical Warrior ?
Once again the blue jean boys made a fool out of you!
Could it be population control at work?
The new "directive" in the Detective DIv. is NO SUSPENDED handouts. While this sounds like no big deal it is. They are going to take the better part of 70-75% of RD #'s and Ex-Clear.
Well, that will happen til a victim finds out they refused to pros. on the x-clear when in fact they were never interviewed. BTW.. the Sgts are refusing to approve any suspended supps.and telling the Dets to their face that THEY HAVE TO X-Clear or do an investigative alert on the victim if you cant find dude.
On Sunday morning, the 023rd district had one guy shot in the ass. On Monday morning they had one guy shot in the dick. I think the shooter is out to destroy Link card, next generation users.
Today I enjoyed the presence of at leat 20 police officers on the north avenue beach. Some officers were nice enough to do bag checks to all entering the beach. I don't know about the hair jell tact guys though, they were hiding under the tree, I think they were upset that they couldn't drive around and lock up those pesky drinkers on the public way on Belmont. Their arrest numbers must be really taking a dive.
CONTRACT RESULTS!
The votes on the contract were counted and the membership voted overwhelmingly to accept the contract. 752 votes were cast to accept the contract and 94 votes were against accepting ratification. . . . The department has informed the Association that Sergeants may begin to retire with the age 55 paid health insurance starting on 15 July, 2010.
-------------
Rumor has it at least 50+ sergeants will retire now in the next few months!!
No promotions of detectives, sergeants or lieutenants are coming anytime soon!!
Special Report on Fox News featured Shortshanks in the "Political Grapevine" segment last nite. Talked about 80-year shooting the burglar after the burglar shot at him and said Daley might still have him prosecuted as handguns are illegal in Chicago. Put up Shortshanks quote that started "Guns is in homes..." Anchor started smiling and said, "That's what he really said."
What an embarassment.
Re: 2nd and 14th Amendment: GUNS
"THEE (NYPD) RANT" posts imply that SCOTUS will rule tomorrow in McDonald v. City of Chicago.
Tom Dart had his deputies keeping track f the judges and times they left daily. He then gave info to the media to make the story. Cassidy works for Dart and surely knew of the story being made, but Dart is the one who brought it forward.
6/01/2010 03:27:00 AM
I believe this. Dart thought he was sneaky and went to media about uc investigation. Know it had to be hime because he was ticked about a particular faction of case. Dirty FK.
OT
SCOTUS rules on Miranda warnings

Curious minds want to know.
8:32Am: In 5 Yrs There Will be no one left to promote do to the decimation of manpower!
J-Fled's group has come up with a new category to improve the homicide clearance rate.
People will no longer be listed as "murdered",
instead they will be listed as "Fatally injured".
Whens the next test I want back
Murder rate percentage cleared to amount of Detectives on the job? I don't think so how about the QUALITY of Det's, several years ago Phat Phill changed the requirements to let anyone with ONE year off probation to take the Dick's test (real good experienced Dick's or some bosses kid did not want to be in the patrol div anymore) before that it was a minmium of 5 years before you can take a Sgt's, Dicks or any other test for promotion. They should bring back the FIVE year requirement and then you might see a better quality investigators and the clearance rate might go up.
Its not one year it's three years. Several reasons the rate was higher years ago. Video-taping interviews , Witnesses sticking around at the Areas and cooperating (wink, wink). 48 hour rule. Real tact. and gang officers out on the street being proactive. More patrols out on the street actually catching the offender immediately after the incident (not enough patrolmen outon the street). Busy getting handouts on BS because ever supervisor is making the beat cars write paper for every BS job. The list goes on and on. Not enough Detectives. When there was a homicide 4 to 6 Detectives went to the scene. Talk with officers, canvass, go to hospital. Now they send two Detectives.
OT SCC please take the link to SCS down. It's an embarassment. He hasn't posted anything about the Sergeants since before the election and the contract. It's not an active website and shouldn't be listed anymore. He's Montgomery Ward or Venture....just a name in the past.
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.
ot sgts pass contract , receive same as fop , lt and captains
look for 100 to 200 retirements between july 15 and nov 15 2010
city / cpd will save millions
sgt rank will be reduced , 1 sgt per sector , no more field lts
captains will be eliminated through attrition
straight 1st and 3rd watch for captains and many will retire at 50,not worth it to wait for 55
remember no more insurance for future retirees after 2013
Dear Scc: To 3:22pm You are high. How exactly did the sgts. have the king by his whatchacallits? Why spend the money on arbitration when we ALL know, except you, how it was going to end. Do you really think, even if for just a second, that any arbitrator was going to give sgts. more than what they gave the po's in terms of salary? That would be a waste of money, any merit hack knows that. (Merit if you are hurt is ok.)

Enjoy your retirement years, and thanks for your service.
Was in Ft Meyers this spring....you need to move. Thugs, beach bums, unbearable traffic. Next year AZ.
"If Phil Cline came back there would be a parade..."
Versus the fucked up one car funeral that's the current state of CPD? Cline had a hand in the hearse crashing by positioning some of these supervisory and exempt misfits we're saddled with now.
The hearse is still in drive and on top of a hydrant with water everywhere... The driver is gone and the stiff in the coffin is propped up behind the wheel grinning & clutching a grape soda and all four tires are missing...
...BUT Cline was at least the Police once upon a time.
Sweet Heebie Jeebus what a mess this job has become...
remember no more insurance for future retirees after 2013
That's right- You had better be happy the health care bill passed at leased you will have something.
More importantly I hope we sweep the flyers
Nada! ;)
Way to go Flyers! GREAT game tonight.
And btw, SCC, I'm with Mary on this one. I have been waiting since before the first game started for you to say something. What gives?
