Can't Afford Shelter....
...but they have a portable DVD player to catch the latest flicks while using City of Chicago electricity in the 011th District lobby:
We are attempting to confirm the allegation that they have a NetFlix account set up for Harrison.

free shelter in 011, POD cameras set up for them in a room, portable dvd players w/ netflicks....what's next?
Yep, 002 has these stinky fuckers all sprawled out on the floor. The desk tries to burn candles, but the odor is over-powering. Why is the CPD the catch-all for every lowlife in this city? Which brings me to a security problem. Why does the lobby of 002 have a drop-off container for unused prescriptions? It's fairly easy for some asshole to come in and drop, let's say, a FUCKING pipe bomb or some expolosive device into it and walk away without ever being noticed. This department and city has its' collective head up its' ass, and it all starts with the little fucking criminal at City Hall.
I'll bet that the dvd he is watching is a bootleg copy.
What a fuckn JOKE! Kick their asses out! You would never see this in any suburban police departments or 95% of the departments around the country.
Same thing in the deuce. Why do they let these bums sleep in the lobby spreading diseases around? Why?
When the weather hits and this crowd moves into the vestibule, I always take a deep breath before I pull the door open. I hold my breath til I'm long past them.
God knows what diseases (airborne and otherwise) they have, but the City exposes us to this without any concern for us or for the citizens who legitimately come to the desk for assistance.
What the hell is this?? Why are homeless people camping out at a police station!??!?!?!?
Obviously the photographer missed the shot of the players screen showing the perverted shit these leeches watch
Why are the homeless in the police hallways. It appears to be a fire hazard. How about putting them in lock up like Andy would in his two cell jail. How inhumane to have them in the lobby for all to see. The homeless want their privacy too.
Lying on the floor! Even the people at the airports get cots Mr Mayor.
What the hell is going on in 011? Henny Penny needs to go NOW!
you know why they are there. they know the children that roam the streets of the harrison district are some of the most repulsive people of earth. they know that people of there own race would rob them of the dvd player they own in a heartbeat. only place in town they could watch it without fear of being robbed. it's a shame but they use to be those kids when they were younger too. aint life grand.
NICE!!!!!!! ! What other government agency has people falling out and laying on the ground. The one guy in the photo looks like he stopped breathing.
What suburban police department would let this happen. And with the department being targeted by the criminals all these bust-outs are being put in danger.
What policy group came up with this?
I always wounded what the end would be like and now I'm watching it!
This looks like a world class city's Police Station. What a joke!
You guys let these shitbags in your house??
What is the security for the people that work there?
Jesus, these dickheads would never be allowed in a fire station....I hope!
This is what happens when alderfools, runnin' dog, thug-huggin', dope money laundering rever'rear-ends and swishy, purse flinging, scooter-riding, beret, birkenstocks & matching ankle socks wearing libtard yellow-pinkies dictate that Police stations should be warming centers and flop-houses for the resolutely indigent and plain old fashioned bust-outs.
You can't even conduct Police business with the congealed stank of ass, bare feet in 3 year old leather gym shoes and sundry manner of arm pit & crotch rot in addition vermin, critters and heebie-jeebies.
Is there anyone that gives a fuck about the health and well being of The Police?
This shit has to stop! Another intentional stymie to effective Policing. We have no real control over our facilities.
Police stations SHOULD be hostile and unfriendly places with no room to lounge!
Visit any good sized suburban facility and you'll see how it's supposed to be done.
Only is the people's socialist republic of chicago is this nonsense encouraged and condoned.
We can hope that one of henny penny's fans rolls over and floats a rank and foul "air biscuit" just as she or one of her rever'rear-end friends walks in the door to bitch about an imagined slight.
Jayzus! Just looking at the pics makes ya itch!
And you can bet each and every one of them has a check coming in somewhere and a link card in their pocket. They just waste all their money on dope or booze, and they’ve wrecked every place that they have ever lived at so no relative wants when around and certainly no one in their right mind would rent to them. They are homeless by choice because to actually have a home would force them to accept responsibilities.
In my experience about 1 in maybe 100 actually has some raving mental illness and instead of real intensive mental health care the state sets them up in a funky, filthy nursing home (the stench of such places knocks you over from half a block away) that they usually immediately escape from and return to wondering the streets helpless. I’ve fed and watched over a few of those in my time but the rest are just out for a mooch to buy that next crack rock and they get the back of hand.
There are so many programs out there to feed and shelter the homeless that none of them need be cold and hungry. They refuse their help because they require them to be sober and behave like human beings and that is what they reject.
I’m an old retired guy and scenes like that is not a part of the job I miss.
nice
Homeless people are directed to go to any Chicago Police Station and state that you are homeless and the Department of Human Services will be contacted and will send someone toi take the. Homeless person (s) to a shelter.
As for the poortanle DVD Player, they probably sell bootleg DVDs and use that to prove the DVD they sell will play.
The problem is that no one is buying bootleg merchandise anymore, everyone realizes it keeps the crime rate high buying stolen goods.
In the big scheme of things, who gives a damn? DVD players are going pretty cheap at most appliance stores. I saw a guy one day (obviously homeless) who was sitting in a front lawn garden display of a store with his cell phone plugged in the an outlet where I would presume that store would plug in their holiday lights for Christmas displays. I guess one can be homeless and not be totally cut off from the world at the same time.
Im in and out of 11 a couple times a day and those homeless f***s are sprawled out on the lobby a dozen deep at times. At least a one or two of them are usually hacking up a lung...no doubt with TB (and God only knows what else) spewing all over the lobby. Why do the bosses allow these mopes to lay around for hours and hours? Minimum it's a health issue with these people. Worse its an officer safety issue when one of them off their meds attacks and disarms a P.O. Is it true one went over the counter a few months ago, attacking an officer and throwing computers off desks? Then he went crazy in anther room until he had to be tazed? And what's up with the uber-liberal 3rd watch desk sgt? Ive seen her feed these fuckers!!! Nothing like giving them no motivation to ever leave!! OFFICERS WORKING INSIDE/DESK IN 011...CONTACT FOP TO FILE A GRIEVANCE IF THE BOSSES REFUSE TO THROW THESE FUCKERS OUT BECAUSE ITS "TOO COLD" (THERES A SHELTER A FEW BLOCKS EAST ON HARRISON FOR THESE PEOPLE, SO THERES NO EXCUSE TO LET THEM CAMP OUT IN THE LOBBY).
OFFICER HEALTH & SAFETY ARE WHATS IMPORTANT, NOT SOME DREG OF SOCIETY HAVING A PLACE TO HANG OUT UNTIL THEY FEEL LIKE LEAVING ON THEIR OWN.
And I just dont know exactly what to even say...these fuckers get to use the outlets for their tvs/dvd players??????? Take note all you new people...THIS IS WHAT A LIBERAL SOCIETY HAS ALLOWED...A POLICE STATION THAT DOUBLES AS A HOMELESS MOVIE THEATER. YOU WONT SEE THIS BULLSHIT IN THE SUBURBS.
WTF, over. This is the lobby of a Chicago Police station? LOFL....
TB, fleas, bedbugs, hepatitis, filth, stink, piss and shit encrusted hunks of wasted organic matter.
What is needed is lots of disinfectant and bleach and a broom to sweep the shit out into the street.
Since when did our police stations become a shelter for the garbage of the world?
Put these vermin on a plane for Haiti and let them help out there and flop in warmer surrounds.
Officers, I would suggest every one who comes within 10 feet of these disease filled shitbags fill out an Exposure to Communicable Disease reports.
Daily.
Do some cursory interviews, ask about TB and other illnesses, take a name, Roosevelt Aloysius Jackson for instance.
Then fill out the report and go for the testing. Do a report daily. And file a safety grievance about a hazardous workplace.
That sucks, since when do we have to rub elbows with the disease trodden of the world? Fuck that. Send them to some liberal church. Let some do gooder feel good.
HEY HEY..those are my customers!
LOST IN FILLMORE.. curio shop..
I have set up my: bootleg DVD /cell/concessions/radio/car/PDT/rifle/Taser-- sales and repair shop here in the Basement of 011..and if Im not around, knock on the review office door.**and as always, Advice is free**
It's not even that cold out yet. Get your ass up outta there.
You can steal a DVD player, you can't steal a house..
Hey, I think that's my dvd player
I heard Money Penny even offers them popcorn and soft drinks.
They must be upper-lower class. I bet the smell is aromatic. What do you think they're watching? "Brewster's Millions?"
I believe these are 'journalists' for City News waiting for a story. They often hang out in the lobby of stations.
011 takes in homeless? Good to know, those polish bums in 025 need a place to go.
They're just watching one of the old POD CAMERAS.
That is just completely wrong. Go to a fucking shelter. That is putting officer lives in jeopardy. Most of those people are mentally ill for Christ sake.
Who allows this shit?
---not a cop
Let me just ask this, and I am sure I will get blasted for it, but, did anyone tell them to get out of the lobby?
And in doing so, did they tell them that the FBI offices are open, heated and paid for by the public?
And that the CFD has free heat in their firehouses that are open to?
I guess what I am asking, is did anyone try to get rid of these petri dishes of skank?
Who is the person that is allowing this? The D/C? the Area D/C?
Who?
He probably stole it from some woman after he knocked all her teeth out.
I heard one of the two year wonders locked them up for SUB, ... "knowing they were in a known drug area yelling rocks and blows in the proximity of narcotics (the cheetoh bag stored in the drug safe)".
THOSE R POD WATCHERS IN ACTION!
SEE HOW FOCUSED THEY ARE WAIT TILL BED BUGS STRIKE A DISTRICT AND CLOSE IT DOWN!
THEN J-FLED CAN USE SOME OF THAT FED EXPERTISE AND TELL US HOMELESS DOPE ADDICTS ARE A SECURITY RISK LAYING UP IN A SECURE BUILDING!
DO THE FEDS LET ASS WIPES LAY AROUND SMELLING LIKE PISS IN THEIR OFFICES?
DOES HQ HAVE A WARMING CENTER WITH THEIR 15 ARMED SECURITY OFFICERS MANNING EVERY DOOR?
WELL ONLY PENNY KNOWS THE ANSWER
SHE HAS TOO SHE IS MERIT!
Go to Traffic Court and watch The Beast scream about mandatory fines associated with various IVC/Muni violations while he/she is holding a $500 i-phone that won't stop ringing during the court call.
That guy in the photograph is a known offender with stolen merchandise, namely the DVD player that was probably taken from the store along with the movie.
The the 011 District have a movie exchange program? Where they can sign out two movies a day.
LMFAO....I bet no other police department in the USA allows these piss bums 2 campout, watch videos, eat, drink Im sure from the bottle in the paperbag and socialize with all the other pissbum homies.
If JFled had any balls left from his steroid abuse days, he would put out a General Order kicking these shitbags to the curb, outside, where they belong.
WTF happened to the CPD?????
what if one of them dies in the station, do they have to put coroner's seals on all the doors.... the desk crew better buy a case of that "funk" spray, it's going to be a long winter....
This has been going on for many years for no one has the balls to say no for fear of someone homeless person freezing to death. part of the problem is the way the new stations have been designed ( also the 5th district). Walk into any suburban police station, and for that matter many large city stations. None of them are as wide open as here in Chicago. The FOP should demand a retro fit of the stations on safety reasons. The city could easily build a wall on each side of the main entrance and put plexi glass on the top of the desk. This would shrink the main lobby considerably. That way no one can lie down on the floor and the desk officers would be safe. It is just a poor design and a waste of space. Then, you have the problem of Human Resources not coming to pick these people up until the morning. Most of them never get into the van, but just walk away.Just a problem that no one wants to face.
have your ID out , walk through metal detector , get groped by tsa to get on a plane , but the homeless sleep in police stations all night
I pray a terrorist doesn't plant a bomb one day , no security at all
"Why are the homeless in the police hallways. It appears to be a fire hazard. How about putting them in lock up like Andy would in his two cell jail. How inhumane to have them in the lobby for all to see. The homeless want their privacy too."
How about you post your address so they can come and sleep at your house? Maybe eat some of your food. Maybe you can offer up your spouse for desert? Bleeding heart, liberal asshole!
Fill out an exposure to contagious disease report each day that you come into contact with these vermin.
One thing you have to say about the old state mental hospitals is that the mentally ill got their meds everyday and they hade three hots and a cot. They were also kept reasonalbly clean.
Were these pics sent to the media?
P.S.
I remember Inspectors writing up A/4 Detectives for using city electricity to operate their own electric typewriters while doing reports.
Who did they steal it from??
I am so glad I work in 010 the only homeless people that live here are p.o's who's wives have kicked them out of the house.
looks me like you have to play leap frog over alll the bums just to get to the desk and at the same time try not to catch the plague from those people.
Load em all into the wagon. Take em downtown and walk them into City Hall and tell them to have a seat.
Hey is this the line for the black friday deals at best buy? Im here for the $100 42 inch. Ha ha!
scabies are a character builder and tuberculosis is good for the heart.............
Damm, I thought that was what 10 south
Kedzie is for; to provide a warming place for the "indigents to
spend the night. We should get
hazardous duty pay for having to
inhale the noxious fumes these
people emit.
I sure hope that section of the station is disinfected everyday.
And all that crap of theirs should be left outside.
It's interesting that the westside
reverents won't open their churches
and let these vermin flop there.
Send these filthy bums to city hall. Let them sleep in a big lobby.
You're damn right you don't see it in the 'burbs. In Evanston, the cops bring the homeless to 024, and then WE call Human Services for them. True!
Put them in the wagon and transport them to city hall. Drop em off in the lobby.
Having them in our police station compromises our safety and our health. But we obvious not as important to the city as they are.
I think that's my DVD player! Wait....ya and my copy of "Juice"!
Hey, we charge these fucks $5 a night to flop here. Thanks SCC for fucking up our gig. Well I can still sell them cigs for $1 a piece.
I filled in as the w/c and told the desk sgt to have those people call human services, if they won't call or go with human services when they arrive then kick them out. The desk sgt said they have always allowed them in there. So I told her not this weekend! She didn't like it and huffed and puffed the rest of the night, so when they brought me the work sheets for the next day I put her on the street. Her response was, I can't work the street I'm the desk sgt. Of course I told her not tomorrow!
The next day I got a call from the lt who was rdo telling me to leave the desk sgt alone! I told her when u get promoted you can tell me what to do. Oops she is now a commander, but it still didn't help those homeless or that desk sgt that went from 1101 to 1120 that night.
There is a homeless problem in Chicago. There is also a cougar and coyote problem in Chicago.
Now say we introduce those groups to each other...voila! No more homeless problem.
FEED THE HOMELESS...to the buzzards
How soon can we forget PO Rick Fransis murdered by one of those animals after they threw her out of 019 for creating a station distubance but didn't lock the bitch up or take her to the dept of mental wealth. Five mor street disturbances and a 99 midnight unit was dead. The bitch sucked up 3e rounds of 9mm an.d is still alive..... no trial yet..
I'll let u no squad?
Burn the I bonds, build jails and secure mental healt facilities ,deport the enemy. (Illegal aliens in America=illegal Americans in Mexico will create some interesting changes.)
WHY NOT THIS Ain't working.
Wow, the shit they make you guys deal with out on the street now lives at your station? Yikes, time for a change.
Isn't there a shelter just blocks away?
Tell them to go to the sun times and tribune where the rest of the bums are.
This is nothing new...I retired 14 years ago and they were layin' up in the districts in A/5 even then. Especially 025. It was much easier to go from court to the lobby than go to another district.The only difference then was that they had no DVD players so they harrassed the police and citizens instead and threatened to sue if they were booted out.

................................... THAT'S FUNNY SHIT!! All the "I work in 011 bravado" and no one has the balls to kick the bums out of your own hallway. JOKE!!
WTF!
This is an embarassment. Where are all the media types trolling this BLOG??
Go out and film this Chuck Goudie and Jay Levine. Where is Carol Marin? This isn't EMMY material??
Send all these bums to the TV stations. Tell them they are giving away portable DVD players.
And whatever white shirt allows this to continue at ANY police facility should be stripped of his or her rank.
Are there any leaders out there anymore? When I was young, Chicago cops were not people to mess with. CPD '68 were tough.
Now, it is a bunch of pussified social workers and worse.
The country just voted to be conservative - NOT liberal. Kick these clowns out to the street.
POD Rooms open to the general public (Lt. Andrews may be correct on citizens having to be trained first, but from what my friends in 11 say, that room is accessible to EVERYONE), filthy, disease-ridden bums hanging out and sleeping in the lobby...THESE ARE THE INGREDIENTS FOR THE RECIPE TO DISASTER.
Its not a matter of "if"...its a matter of "when" something tragic will happen to an officer or officers in that lobby/desk area.
I agree with an earlier poster...document daily for exposure to the mutts that are hacking and spewing God-knows-what all over the po's and citizens all day.
WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH SHIT AND FILTHY CONDITIONS ALL DAY LONG ON THE STREET EVERY DAY...THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON THESE MOTHERFUCKERS SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO BASICALLY LIVE IN OUR HOMES/STATIONS. ILL CALL FLOP IN THE MORNING AND SEE WHAT THOSE USELESS PRICKS HAVE TO SAY REGARDING ANY RECOURSE YOU FOLKS MAY HAVE OVER THERE.
Two buds that work in 11 have told me how a certain female desk sargent has allowed this to continue and laughs about it when officers object to it it as a health and safety risk. It seems she sides with the homeless idiots before her own people...makes me want to puke!!!!
Where is your compassion. Inhale the love exhale the hate. These are human beings just like you and me.

You are exactly right. We need to impress upon our politicians that they will be doing our will now, not catering to play reverends, diseased illegals, and dead weight ghetto dwellers, sucking up our tax dollars and living it up on the taxpayers back.
If they don't listen, they will be thrown out of office, maybe with a new coat of tar and feathers.
We have tried the warm and fuzzy way and it is a dismal failure. They ain't gonna like the end result if they try to fuck us some more.
you are correct in your statements that they are a fire hazard, they put themselves in that situation, it is possibly unsafe to have them there, and clearly other people have failed and thats why they have found shelter there and not through the proper authorities.
but in these days post thanksgiving, an arbitrary holiday at best, let us remember that these people reguardless if the fact is they put themselves in that situation need somewhere to go. sure some people say let them die out on thr streets and they are bad people, probably true. but helping others good or bad is the right thing to do. only true character shines in the darkest hour, and true character is doing the right thing even when there's plenty reason not to. perhaps the aforementioned is a naive statement but be it as it may, this is the reality we face.
dvd player was probably stolen from a car parked by the lake front, dvd is probably bootlegged!
WHAT A LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They have to sign in and when,human services shows up, they gotta go. If they dont they get kicked out. Unless u have a wuss of a desk sgt. Or clueless w.c

Police stations are considered temporary shelters. There's paper on it somewhere. (Couldn't believe it the first time it came out, which was many years ago.) It's not a CPD thing, it's a dictate from City Hall. When they do those cold weather alerts in the winter, they actually publicize the fact that you can go to any police station if you can't get to 10 S. Kedzie. In other words, we CAN'T just put them out.
Now, if we only had a couple of district commanders with guts... but that's not going to happen. They're all tiptoe-ing around, hoping they can wait out Weis' exit. Nobody's going to rock the boat and risk being dumped from their spot.

City electricity, which the city probably stole from Com Ed anyway.
Anyone know daley's address? We can have a wagon drop them off on his block.
Any other large PD's on the blog, chime in, does NYPD let the homeless camp out in their police stations? LAPD? Baltimore? Boston? Anywhere?
how many of these "bums" are really investigative reporters posing as "bums" investigating the police at the police stations?"BUMS" WITH ELECTRONIC DEVICES?COP WATCH?TIME TO PUT A STOP TO THIS BULL S--T!!!
Incredible the command staff LOL lets this shit happen,no wonder cpd is in the shitter and bosses get no respect another reason 1st and 16th and backing each other up nothing else matters!
(OT) handled an accident on 55th street by Midway airport,and observed all the com ed generator trucks blocking up 55th street by the airport and in the parking lots. So being curious I talked to com ed guy on the scene he told me the airport has no power all being run on generators any investigative reporters want to look into this city screw up?
The stations are designated as temporary shelters for the homeless, per city directives (not a law, sort of like a presidential directive, where the mayor says what he wants on paper and we have to obey it).
However, temporary is also defined in this directive as until Human Services gets there. Once they arrive, and the bums wont go with them, then they are trespassing, and you CAN throw them out. Once you do that, they won't come back.
I will dig it up when I go back to work and have it posted here by a friend.
010 doesnt let the bums camp out. They know this so they all head to 011. 010 smells good all day and night. A big thanks to Janitor Jessy and the rest of the cleaning crew!!! 011 smells like stank a$$.... Start moving them out and they won't return. They will find the shelters on their own...
i see democratic voters....
There is no reason for the bums to be lying in the foyer of 011 or any other station. Time for the janitors there to used lots of ammonia in the mop water or find some other way to make it unpleasant there.
I still remember inspectors (Manley) writing up coppers for carrying a round in the chamber of a semi-auto,,,even if the semi-auto was double action with a decocking-thumb safety.
I've heard the stealing electricity thing before, but I always thought the City extorted ComEd for free electricity in exchange for the rights to sell electicity in the city.
Those inspectors would shit now if they saw the TVs, laptops, space heaters, etc. behind desks, in offices and in lockups now.
Of course, the no hats, sweaters, open jackets, no beat tags, unshined shoes, unpressed shirts and pants, beards on men without bump cards, long hair, dreads, et al that used to be Inspectors wet dreams are now commonplace.

City Hall is already full of filthy bums, same for the County Building.
Can't the City use one or more of those warehouses that Vancecko & Davis bought with pension money to house the filthy bums? Vancecko & Davis should feel a certain kinship with filthy bums.
Bringing up Manley. I first met him around 1970 and he was a sergeant in the old Marquette district. On payday, a group of Black officers wer shooting dice in the 2nd floor locker room. Manley was going to write them up. They disarmed him, almost pants him and through him out of the locker room. Nothing further was said by anyone. He was truely afraid for his life. Later when he was an inspector I saw him come into 021 and he demanded an officera semi-auto to check the chamber. The officer wanted to see manley's semiauto card, which he did not have. The officer refused tohand over his firearm. manley was a piece of work.

REALLY! What is the order #. Don't worry, I won't wait up for the answer.
am I the only person who fels that this is an "officer safety" issue? a few years back, a deranged person walked into 023rd district and pulled a knife the the officers working the desk.
just remember, they are in your station, and have NOT been searched!!
That looks like A/3...
The problem is that the uber-liberal bleeding heart desk sgt DK, won't allow these piss bums to be kicked out if they refuse human services. She feeds them her food and gives them chairs to sit in. It's ridiculous and a slap in the face to every officer that works in 011 that values their own safety. A few months ago, one of the "regulars" came in, went into one of the offices and started throwing shit around and fought with an officer. He was arrested. Maybe if they didn't feel like they owned the damn place, those things wouldn't happen. The 011 desk gets pretty busy with all the nonsense that rolls through there, so there are never enough eyes to watch these people. The desk sgt (3rd watch) and sorry excuse for a commander are both jokes. Officer safety means nothing to them.
manley was a piece of work.
Seems like times havent changed much eh?
This is disgusting. There is a shelter down the block on Harrison. These people bring in their smells, their lice and TB and their soiled pants. This is a hazard for those who are working in the station and citizens who come in to make reports. Pretty soon some homeless terrorist will come and the rest will be history. Another smear on this dumb department.
They should be lounging at shitty hall, right outside Richie's office. Bet it's nice and cozy up there. It's a disgrace and truly a hazard.
The problem is that the uber-liberal bleeding heart desk sgt DK.

File a Grievance. And a Complaint for Violating the General Order.
They don't want to go to 10 S Kedize?
Then get the fuck out.

Actually I'll do one better.
Someone pick me up on Monday...I'm the Asshole Revenue dude working in 23rd all week.
Drive me over to 011 and I'll walk up to the Desk Sgt and ask to file a complaint myself for the Health Hazard and GO violation.
