Add One and Nine More
- One person was killed and at least nine others were wounded Sunday and overnight in separate shootings on the city's South Side.
Most appear to be in the Deuce and Area 1 with some outlying incidents.

Friday thru Sunday: 6 Homicides and 22 Agg Batts, Area 1 got slammed!!!
man beaten to death 30th and st. louis in 010.does that count?
It was a very busy weekend in the city. It looks like this summer will be very busy. Watch out for each other and stay safe.
What's the breakdown of race between the victims and offenders?
annnnnyyyyyyy day now, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are gonna march and denounce the thugs in these neighborhoods and actually blame the criminal and not society...annnnnnyyyy day now.
Nice little war going on in the Duece lots of shooting going on. Heard a beat guy on days in 002 got a dude after a footchase carrying a FN 5.7x28mm pistol fully loaded. Good job getting that thing off the street. That weapon is made for defeating body armor.
I am glad crime is down. Only 8 shot in the deuce yesterday.
All these hospital bills - can you say Medicaid? Any money left to take care of the really sick?
Ummm...one beaten to death in 010 on Sunday night (technically Monday morning). Does that count for the weekend totals?
And who said the deuce was a retirement district?
If they only obtained event numbers none of it would of happend!
OT------
NYPD recently had a cop/drunk woman/sex scandal now being tried for 60 Million...They hire morons too!

So in 002 the new commander went from sgt to commander in a month. His thing lately has been pulling the stats of all officers and having watch commanders talk to the troops about it. Hey boss, u want those parkers, movers, cta checks and contact cards, the result is this. Half the watch not patrolling because down on stupid stuff due to get numbers. As a result 002 going crazy with agg bats since this, including 7 on third watch Sunday. Were all 7 of these preventable. No. But have 5 more cars patrolling instead of on cta, contact cards, tvbs and nonsense arrests then you won't have to answer about all these shootings. But u can tell them parkers r up.
Being retired military, I am interested in what our police have to deal with in our sh!tty city and have found an online scanner that allows me to listen to some of the radio transmissions from Chicago Police Zone 6 (7 and 8 Districts) Englewood District.
It boggles my mind that human beings can do this stuff to each other. I heard quite a few shots fired calls, one person who I believe was shot dead in his car and a myriad of other just plain effed up behavior. I am beginning to believe that these idiots have no value for human life, live for the moment with no thoughts about tomorrow.
When we went out on patrol in Afghanistan there were reasons we needed to shoot and kill, but this Zone 6(?) stuff is crazy. You guys deal with this everyday and I tip my hat to the good people of CPD who have to deal with this.
You guys see it all day and night and my question is why do these a-holes behave this way? Is it drugs? Is it macho? If any CPD officer cares to postulate their theory as to why this goes on I am curious and would love to hear any ideas regarding this.
Rahm and Daley should listen to what you have to say because you are the ones that have to deal with it everyday, so your insight is much keener than any B.S. Walter Jacobson or any other media dummy may have.
Be safe and bless the good folks who allow us to sleep comfortably. From my heart, thank you CPD.
I know we say this every spring, but I really think it is going to be ugly on the South and West Sides this summer.
The animal is brazen and it seems, just doesn't give a shit about anything, including himself.
Carry extra mags and wear your vest always.
Old paisa beaten to death in 010 by some kings, offenders in custody.
All You People putting in your Par Forms to come to the Deuce......You will work!! Second watch especialy.....The Deuce is slowly coming back as its past residents are baaaaaaaacccck!!
Sup with the Deuce? Looked at the board Saturday and saw 6 cars down on midnights? Don't they have like 5 Tact teams over there?
Sounded like it was 1992 over there this weekend.
002 this weekend:
Saturday:
55/King - homicide
59/Calumet - 2 shot
Sunday:
51/Calumet - 2 shot
42/Wabash - 2 shot
400 E 46th - 1 shot
48/Forrestville - 1 shot
8 shot 1 dead
Did TRU or Mobile get deployed over there after the second shooting of the day? Don't think so. This is what I mean by allocating the resources in TRU and Mobile properly.

Thanks, SCC. I must fess up here and say that in making the above prediction a few days ago, we accidentally neglected to include in our diagnostics, the 'Cabin Fever Factor', that is only implemented once a year (on the first 80 + degree weekend of the spring). Had we included that figure, our alert for this weekend would have been for a 'SEVERE CARNAGE WARNING' instead of the less serious 'Severe Mayhem Watch'. Our apologies.
On the plus side, however, we nailed the craziness that occurred in 009. We didn't mention it here, though, as it would have seemed like we were bragging about it today!
What we need is more gun control! Hey Ritchie, how did that gun ban work out for ya?
Off Topic but important, we are going to plan a march outside the FOP to tell Slimey Shields to give the members back the election. Stay tuned for details.
Maybe they heard about the 14 openings the duece had. The duece is suppose to be a dead dist from what I heard. Sounds like they are moving people back into the area that use to live in the projects before. Looks like a bloody summer. I'm just saying!!

Also, for those that voted for Sid Davis, Mike has removed him as Recording Secretary and put his own guy that lost the election in.
Why bother to have an election?
You are obviously someone that has had little participation in union affairs during your time on the job. Or little knowledge.
Sid Davis is NOT out as Recording Secretary. He still is the elected Recording Secretary.
What he no longer is is part of the full-time FOP staff.
The FOP President gets to designate to the city who is to be detailed to the FOP staff (Unit 541). It is the Prez's decision. It's called "to the victor go the spoils"
What this means is that Sid will still do recording secretary stuff, just he will do it on a part-time basis. And do it for the $700/mn stipend instead of D-8 (Captain's) pay. Plus each committee he chairs and meeting he attends, he gets additional $.
Mike Shields is entirely within his rights to put who he chooses in the office. He has political favors to re-pay.
Why the concern? So many people were unhappy with the old FOP regime that they voted them out. Now they complain about them being removed??
Mark Donahue gets a $70K/yr job as lobbyist by the nature of his being the Immediate Past President. He gets this until Mike Shields is unthroned, then it goes to Mike.
Much of what FOP does is done behind the scenes down in Springfield. Mark has over the years built up a considerable rapport so why let that die and go to waste? Now is the time we really need that
The problem with all this is that Mike Shields then appoints Jim McCarthy and Sal Del Rivero in those inside spots. BOTH of these guys lost their elections. If the president wants to change who holds the inside spots, fine, but it should go to someone who WON. place one of the trustees inside not someone who LOST.
Now I do not know how much work is involved with being the recodring secratary but I am sure the treasuary spot is a bit involved. That should be an inside spot.
Also, something needs to be changed in regards to the trustees. We now have now had 9 of the 17 trustees that are RETIRED. That is way to many retirees on the board

So when is the new Mayor going to put the alderman's security details on the street and stop wasting taxpayer dollars and the manpower!
We can no longer afford to provide these personal drivers and praetorian guards for elite politicians.
Hell we can't even afford the politicians themselves. Which brings us to point number two.
All that talk of reducing the number of aldermen in the city by half was just a nice photo op' right? There is no intention to change a damn thing.
Downstate the Treasurer recently cut his motor vehicle pool in half. When is the city going to get cutting?
Time for these elected officials to start sharing the sacrifices instead of pushing it all on the teachers and the unions and the taxpayers.
We don't need 50 aldermen to run this city and we certainly don't need 24/7 security details with private drivers and taxpayer funded transportation to those that remain.
Put the manpower on the streets.

Saw Hillard on news tonight at groundbreaking for new station; like I say, cue up The Birth Of Cool. He is a dignified, wise old cat; camel's-hair topcoat, nice Kangol cap, fashionable gold-rimmed glasses on a cord...
...not like You Know Who who used to show up all the time looking like he'd gotten dressed during a fire and explosion in the men's locker room.
Him and that mayor, sweating and stammering and babbling and "sticking this rifle up your butt."
What a pair. I still can't stop laughing.
Don't know where exactly to post this but I'm IOD on crutches recovering from surgery. Sunday monring I yell (pretty much at a brick wall)out my window at the crazy little dogs yapping away in my yard (I live in an apt). 2 hours later I get a knock on my back door, my neighbor says can I talk to you. Oblivious to what is about to transpire I say sure. I hop my gimpy ass down the stairs and ask whats up? He starts screaming and heads butts me. Yes I said he head butts me. I fall on my ass cut on the bridge of my nose and minus a filling in one of my teeth. His sister is standing right there and immediately says "he didn't hit you". The offender takes off, now this occurred at about 1200 hrs. 009 shows up because it went out as a 10-1. CFD AMB1 cleans me up and says I won't need stitches.The offender is a city employee and never returned home that night nor did he go to work the next day. An A/1 Det calls me today and says that he talked to the offender and his sister and they say that he never hit me. Now hold on to your hats because this is where it gets unbelievable. The Det then says were not going to arrest him because they have a different story than me. WERE NOT GOING TO ARREST HIM? Does anyone see anything wrong with this picture? We as policeofficers deal with this every day. When were called to a location and Johnnie says that Joey hit him then Joey goes to jail, end of story. The judge then decides it from there. Must be a new breed of police out there who don't know how to do their jobs. I've got over 20 years on this job and I can't get out soon enough. I feel sorry for the coppers who have a long time to go. Apparently we have no friends not even amongst our own. I'm still shocked at the way this was and is still being handled. Please ask as many questions as you want, I'm more than happy to answer any and all.

In response to this weekend's bloodbath on the streets, the Attorney General of the State of Illinois, Lisa Madigan, was just on TV taking up some new cudgel -- now it's "allergens in school lunches."
For that matter, there is also a new "Transsexual Inmate Screening Committee" at the County Jail.
Et cetera.
How many of the infinite number of possible micro-concerns are going to be solemnly addressed at vast expense by the highest levels of government before the Republic -- having been turned into a kindergarten -- simply collapses of its own weight?

Who ever put a bid in to the duece say hello to midnights. Look at all of the mini projects popping up on state again. The 5th Ward is remodeled and the boys are moving back in on 45 and Evans. If u have time ur better off in englewood on days if that.
Want to know why there r 4-6 cars down a daily basis in 002 on mids? The new commander gutted mids this year. Took 12 people off midnights. As a result its impossible to fill the beat cars. Bad management.
You guys see it all day and night and my question is why do these a-holes behave this way? Is it drugs? Is it macho? If any CPD officer cares to postulate their theory as to why this goes on I am curious and would love to hear any ideas regarding this.

No it's because Mayor Daley handcuffed the Police. We cant be the Police anymore. So these mutts run around knowing the consiquence is little to nothing. Its all smoke and mirros here.

To 0133 hrs, obviously YOU don't have a clue about your union dumbfuck. Donohue was GIVEN a spot for 70Kn he doesn't automatically get it for being past president. Shields is not guaranteed the same job after he is out. Also, Sid Davis IS NOT collectin a $700 a month stipend as recording secretary. Shields determined that he wasn't worth the monthly stipend. Davis gets NOTHING! Yet he still acts in his elected capacity after receiving 6000 votes! So, shut the fuck up unless YOU know what YOU are talking about. If you still have doubts-ask Shields. He'll fill you in.
Sure hope that J-Fled the lying COWARD watched "Chicago Code" on FOX TV this evening.
Supt. Teresa Colvin (Jennifer Beals) told her driver PO Bidwell to take in the "robbery in progress" in a store only 2 blocks away because "we're still the police."
They were first on the scene as the robber led the hostage out of the store at gunpoint. Supt. Colvin and driver disarmed him. One in custody for armed robbery; no one hurt.
A case of art NOT imitating the life of the disgraced COWARD J-Fled who ran the other way from my still unsolved murder in Englewood.
GOTTA RUN!

4/11/2011 06:51:00 PM
Obviously the solution to dealing with a group of officers who actually cares enough about an election to vote and send back their postage pre-paid election materials is to change the by-laws to make retiree votes count for one half a vote.
The votes cast by active duty officers will be increased by a factor of two; each vote of an active member will be worth two votes.
This will blunt the effect of too many retired officers actually voting in an FOP election.
That should act as a disincentive to any group of officers who dare to think they can influence an FOP election by voting in greater numbers.
In addition I will propose to the Rules Committee that in the future each package of election materials be hand delivered to active members and then picked up in person with help for those unable to mark the ballot in pencil for any reason.
The new rules will also require that each retiree come down to FOP Hall in person to pick up a ballot package and be in possession of 5 valid forms of photo ID including a current US Passport.
That should get the vote totals up for the active officers to counter any actual votes cast by those with nothing else to do but collect a pension check and send in ballots.

Uhhh yea have you ever thought of the gun being stolen?? I was burglarized and they took my gun by stealing my entire safe.
To the 20 yr guy who got head butted while on crutches and the A/1 detectives don't want to do anything. Last week an outside unit comes into 9 and gets in a foot chase in and out of yards and finally, with the help of 9 get the guy. They come into 9 and find out there's a case on him for aggravated battery to two mass transit guys where he struck both of them and then ran off with one cuff on. They call the diks. Female dik tells them she called the officers and they didn't want to pursue it. The A/Os tell the WC this and he calls the mass transit guys himself and finds out the dik told them it wasn't worth pursuing. The WC (Cpt. J, a stand-up boss) calls the dik back and orders her in. She comes in with a male partner and they go in, in front of all the coppers involved and argue with the WC that it's not Aggravated Battery because the coppers weren't injured. The WC, unbelievably patient, explains to them why it is. They keep arguing. Finally, he reads them the riot act about how there job is to support the patrol division and then orders them to do there job. A few good diks in A/1, but a lot of them just plain lazy. And, of course, the diks downplayed the whole thing to the ASA and charges were rejected. Cpt. J had already left, so the new WC didn't go for an override. Just shameful.
Mark Donahue gets a $70K/yr job as lobbyist by the nature of his being the Immediate Past President. He gets this until Mike Shields is unthroned, then it goes to Mike.
*********************************
BS, No past president was EVER paid to be a lobbyist! Stop spinning it! The only thing the past president gets is a seat at the table during board meetings and a stipend like the other trustees.
This is a NEW position, and anyone telling you something different is full of it!!
And no Mike will NOT automatically get a PAID lobbyist position when he is OUT unless he makes a deal with the next FOP president. What a bunch of LIES.
I'm glad Mark will be working for the FOP, he's probably our only hope.
As far as Sid goes he was elected to that positition he should be up at the office.
Another question, why haven't all the changes been put up on the FOP website? $35,000 for a new car. New lobbyist's.......
Who's watching the pension board while our new FOP president is at the FOP, NOBODY?
Now another lobbyist will be hired (Mike Kasper) who defended Raulm in the residency trail and who currently is the pension board lobbiest.
So this Kasper guy is Raulm's attorney, your pension board lobbyist, and your new FOP lobbyist,anyone else see something wrong here???
Sounds like a lot of copper money going to one guy to screw us.
Also, something needs to be changed in regards to the trustees. We now have now had 9 of the 17 trustees that are RETIRED. That is way to many retirees on the board

Also about 6 of the active trustees will be retires within two years so the majority of the board will be retired.
Also a retired guy HB is the new trustee chair. I just don't get it.

I am a retired Police Officer and a member of FOP. Who the f*ck are you to think that YOU are more special than I or any other retiree is? I'd take the wisdom of a retired copper ANY DAY over some of the self centered, I'm so wonderful hair gels I saw out there before I retired!
Yours is a typical Democratic, leftist, Obama-style reaction to fair and free elections. If you can't win fair and square, then change the rules to your favor.
Its a shame you don't like the fact that active FOP members REFUSE to join your election process. Its to bad that YOU don't like the election results. Maybe if you could get more members to become part of the process you'd find better candidates to run that could win?
YOU ARE ONE IGNORANT MOFO and apparently a sore LOSER!
Off Topic but important, we are going to plan a march outside the FOP to tell Slimey Shields to give the members back the election. Stay tuned for details.

Don't know where exactly to post this but I'm IOD on crutches recovering from surgery. Sunday monring I yell (pretty much at a brick wall)out my window at the crazy little dogs yapping away in my yard (I live in an apt). 2 hours later I get a knock on my back door, my neighbor says can I talk to you. Oblivious to what is about to transpire I say sure. I hop my gimpy ass down the stairs and ask whats up? He starts screaming and heads butts me. Yes I said he head butts me. I fall on my ass cut on the bridge of my nose and minus a filling in one of my teeth. His sister is standing right there and immediately says "he didn't hit you". The offender takes off, now this occurred at about 1200 hrs. 009 shows up because it went out as a 10-1. CFD AMB1 cleans me up and says I won't need stitches.The offender is a city employee and never returned home that night nor did he go to work the next day. An A/1 Det calls me today and says that he talked to the offender and his sister and they say that he never hit me. Now hold on to your hats because this is where it gets unbelievable. The Det then says were not going to arrest him because they have a different story than me. WERE NOT GOING TO ARREST HIM? Does anyone see anything wrong with this picture? We as policeofficers deal with this every day. When were called to a location and Johnnie says that Joey hit him then Joey goes to jail, end of story. The judge then decides it from there. Must be a new breed of police out there who don't know how to do their jobs. I've got over 20 years on this job and I can't get out soon enough. I feel sorry for the coppers who have a long time to go. Apparently we have no friends not even amongst our own. I'm still shocked at the way this was and is still being handled. Please ask as many questions as you want, I'm more than happy to answer any and all.

I sympathize with you, but I don't believe that it is usually appropriate to arrest on party simply because another person accused the first party of Battery. Some kind of corroboration is necessary. That seems to be the case here, because you suffered what sounds like visible injuries. It is possible that in some way you were made tobe the agressor when the dick interviewed the other guy. You can obtain the original case report as well as the supplemental report written by the dick. That should shed some light on the case. If it looks rotten, perhaps a call to a supervisor at the area would be appropriate. After 20 years, you should be aware of the warrant process. That is obviously available to you, but requires a trip to court. Good luck.

hmmm, if only 2400 more police officers were working on the mean streets of Chicago. How many lives could have been saved? How many officers could have been removed from harms way? Daley - you are ASSHOLE!

That still won't stop them from killing each other in Englewood. Might raise the arrest numbers a bit, nothing more.

Shame on you. First mistake: You left your apartment to face what you knew was going to be a negative situation while off-duty. That's how we usually get jammed up. If they confronted you at your doorway the burden of guilt would have been on them.
Sid Davis is NOT out as Recording Secretary. He still is the elected Recording Secretary.
What he no longer is is part of the full-time FOP staff.
The FOP President gets to designate to the city who is to be detailed to the FOP staff (Unit 541). It is the Prez's decision. It's called "to the victor go the spoils"

You can't let the public know that information. You would be telling the TRUTH. The liberals in charge don't want you to be informed as who to keep an eye on when walking down the street. Everything is wonderful and beautiful as long as their looking out their ivory towers. Do as I say not as I do is the liberal motto.

Obviously my attempt at satire was lost on you. Ease up, don't take yourself so seriously.
It was supposed to be a knock at those who do NOT vote in great numbers and then complain about the outcome of an election.
I guess it is like a joke that one has to explain, skip it, I won't quite my day job.

HB was voted in as chair by the newly elected trustees. Those damn majority rules people are at it again.

The new rules will also require that each retiree come down to FOP Hall in person to pick up a ballot package and be in possession of 5 valid forms of photo ID including a current US Passport.
That should get the vote totals up for the active officers to counter any actual votes cast by those with nothing else to do but collect a pension check and send in ballots.
4/12/2011 04:33:00 AM
Funny stuff Officer..I'm betting more than a few will think you are serious.
4/12/2011 06:15:00 AM
Thank you. I was afraid of that.
It was meant to be humorous, not someone's real opinion but satirical.
Save the hate mail for the new mayor.
To all retirees: your vote will count as always, take a blood pressure med. The only actual idea I had about voting in FOP elections, which was quickly shot down, was that voting among active members be made mandatory.
But therein lies the problem in living in a participatory democracy (or being a member of the FOP) in that a significant number of members/citizens will always insist on their right NOT to participate.
I don't get it, the vote is our only chance to let our voice be heard and I will bet there are many FOP ballot packages right now sitting still unopened in police officers' kitchens, car trunks and lockers.
I'd be interested in knowing how many ballots were returned after the deadline.
to all:
Sid Davis is STILL the elected Recording Secretary. That has not and will not change.
The inside job of field Rep is NOT automatically tied to that or any other position. The Field Reps are picked by the FOP President and voted on by the board of directors.
Sid is still on the Board and still the recording secretary and still receives a monthly stipend. He just does not have a full time position at the FOP Hall.
Any police officer in good standing with the FOP is eligible to be appointed as a field rep.

And why does he get all the spoiled stuff?
To the 20 yr guy who got head butted while on crutches and the A/1 detectives don't want to do anything. Last week an outside unit comes into 9 and gets in a foot chase in and out of yards and finally, with the help of 9 get the guy. They come into 9 and find out there's a case on him for aggravated battery to two mass transit guys where he struck both of them and then ran off with one cuff on. They call the diks. Female dik tells them she called the officers and they didn't want to pursue it. The A/Os tell the WC this and he calls the mass transit guys himself and finds out the dik told them it wasn't worth pursuing. The WC (Cpt. J, a stand-up boss) calls the dik back and orders her in. She comes in with a male partner and they go in, in front of all the coppers involved and argue with the WC that it's not Aggravated Battery because the coppers weren't injured. The WC, unbelievably patient, explains to them why it is. They keep arguing. Finally, he reads them the riot act about how there job is to support the patrol division and then orders them to do there job. A few good diks in A/1, but a lot of them just plain lazy. And, of course, the diks downplayed the whole thing to the ASA and charges were rejected. Cpt. J had already left, so the new WC didn't go for an override. Just shameful.

The offender and his sister said I got tangled up in my crutches and fell then hit my nose on the screen door.
No warrant possible I had to get a summons which has to go to ASA who reviews it then decides if it's worthy to go in front of the judge. The judge reviews it and then decides if it should proceed. If the judge decides it will then the offender will get a summons to appear in court. If the judge decides it's not worth it then I'm SOL.
Shame on you. First mistake: You left your apartment to face what you knew was going to be a negative situation while off-duty. That's how we usually get jammed up. If they confronted you at your doorway the burden of guilt would have been on them.

Your right but I have had normal and decent conversations with the offender in the past. Wasn't expecting this.
Hey, if you can read the narrative, then you can write the Det.'s name down and call your "family member" (Play cousin ?) up and provide the phone # to the Area. Obviously, it wasn't too "aggravated" of a battery to warrant a personal visit. We're all spread thin, DD is too. Thanks for pitching in to help.
The problem with all this is that Mike Shields then appoints Jim McCarthy and Sal Del Rivero in those inside spots. BOTH of these guys lost their elections. If the president wants to change who holds the inside spots, fine, but it should go to someone who WON. place one of the trustees inside not someone who LOST.
Now I do not know how much work is involved with being the recodring secratary but I am sure the treasuary spot is a bit involved. That should be an inside spot.
Also, something needs to be changed in regards to the trustees. We now have now had 9 of the 17 trustees that are RETIRED. That is way to many retirees on the board
#############################
Again, the FOP President has pretty much total say as to who gets to be in the office.
As for 9 of the 17 trustees being retirees: IF you ever went to a union meeting and were active, you would know that coppers with less than 15 years on the job are very rare at FOP meetings. If you bemoan so many "old timers" on the executive board, then get your younger friends involved.
Also, retirees are not beholding to the department. No angling to get in that special unit.
Off Topic but important, we are going to plan a march outside the FOP to tell Slimey Shields to give the members back the election. Stay tuned for details.

Or, perhaps you could just attend union meetings and ask questions.
It's interesting that ongoing expected violence is only consistent in curtain parts of the city for the past 50 or so years. I'm going to enroll in some college classes to study this phenomenon.
Yeah, you are probably SOL. Remember thought that even if the dick had arrested the guy, when the case came up in court and the sister testified you would probably have lost anyway.
Sworn testimony by the sister would have been enough to create a reasonable doubt. Too bad, but this stuff happens to citizens every day and there is no way to fix it in a free society. It still sucks for you though.
Sorry kid, but as a 30 year vet in area one, you knew what was going to happen when you left your apartment to go and "talk" with your neighbor. I read the reports regarding your case and was present when you called the detective's supervising sgt and lt. Both agreed with the detective that the summons process should be used. You put a witness on the scene whose presence was verified by the offender. Bad move since the witness' statement did not concur with your statement. I spoke with the detective regarding what happened and despite wanting to see it your way, he was unable to because of the witness you put on the scene. If you are hell bent on getting even with your neighbor, then I suggest once you are off crutches that you both handle this like men. However that may be. But be sure to just keep it between you too and not to needlessly involve any more officers.
To the guy who got head-butted in 009...
Dude, you live in Bridgeport. Handle it 'our way.'
