The Endless Cycle
A "memorial" for last year's dead gang banger results in.....ANOTHER dead gang banger!
A person was killed and four others — including an 8-year-old and 10-year-old — were shot Tuesday night during a memorial for a teen on the Southeast Side, officials said.
The group was shot about 9 p.m. near East 79th Street and South Escanaba Avenue, said Fire Media Affairs spokesman Will Knight.
The 8-year-old was shot in the foot and the 10-year-old was shot in the leg.
The memorial was for a 17-year-old killed last year, officials said.
If only this could have been predicted. And prevented somehow. Maybe a small, almost secret unit of officers riding around to various parts of the city, logging and mapping all of the empty liquor bottle and dollar-store candle memorials. Then they could set up a camera and monitor the situation once the sun goes down.
And then they could call in Predator drone strikes. Honest to pete, what the hell is going on down south?

one gone, Pb injection in the forehead and one paralized. Not good, taxpayers will pay for hoveraround!
Even money says that the memo will come out tomorrow requiring wc notification of any street corner memorial and one car assigned to sit there all night.
"CLEAN-UP ON ISLE SIX!"
That's what the text message should read when the gunshot detection microphones go off know what I'm sayin'?
Just like the store PA when someone drops a jar of pickles or a bottle of something at the Dominicks.
Speaking of mapping here's one for you. It's a bit off topic but thought that you all may be interested in it nonetheless.
http://www.datapointed.net/visualizations/maps/growth-rings/chicago-illinois/
It's a map visualizing the population change in Chicago based on census data of 2000 to 2010.
Blue indicates an area increasing in population with the darkest blue meaning a doubling in size.
Red represents a decrease in population with the darkest red meaning everyone has left!
You'll note that the city is pretty much a sea of red except for one teeny-tiny island of blue just off the lake.
I guess that is what we would call our "Green Zone" eh?
Oh wait and there is one more island of blue on the north side too. I figure that must be Rahm's neighborhood.
Makes you wonder though. If all the people in these ethnic neighborhoods are fleeing the city why are some of these neighborhoods still so crowded?
Must be illegal immigrant drug cartel members not willing to fill out census forms right?
Wonder what this map would look like if the city residency rule was abolished. Yeah, I know, I know.
excellent response from 004,006 GEU,and TRU. The tru w/c on scene took control and deployed POS and avoided any further problems!!!!!
Yah... The 8 and 10 year old belong out at 9pm at 79/Escanaba...toilet bowl... To pay tribute to a worthless piece of shit who was killed.. How about having the fucking kids in a fucking bed so they can go to school tomorrow?? That would make fucking sense right? But when all is said and done... the blame will fall upon the police department for not preventing this horrific crime perpitrated on the innocent youthful victims... The asshole parents should have been shot for having the kids on a fucking street corner.
Its is time to close near north high school building which the department uses to keep clout people working inside and sell the building and use that money to hire more police and take these officers sitting on their asses and get them out on the street disband these do nothing units and those limited duties officers should cover the phones at 311.chicago is a very dangerous place .
"I'm not dead...
I'm getting better...
I feel fine...
I think I'll go for a walk...
I feel happy. I feel happy..."
This doesn't really fit here, but I haven't seen any comments on the Pat Camden sighting over the weekend after a police involved shooting. He was making comments to the media and was identified as a spokesman for the FOP. Is the FOP now sending their own spokesman out to police involved shootings??
In it's officially released statistics does the Chicago Police Department count the incident of 5 people being shot at a party as one incident and therefore one shooting or are five more shooting victims added to the official totals?
I guess it would be to much for Chicago's media to ask the Police Department this simple question
to 4/13/2011 07:28:00 AM
Yes and thank God----about time.
As I always say and have been saying for my entire adult life in law enforcement, " Where the hell are the parents of these kids"? Too drunk? Too drugged up? Getting layed? Sleeping? Jail? There are anywhere but involved in the lives of their children. The burden falls on teachers, social workers and the police.
its safer to have a party in bagdad. all the police in the world cannot change a culture of violence. another idea..why dont you try to save yourself before demanding everyone else save you?
One thing about the incident over on Escanaba.....before you get on the radio screaming try taking a deep breath for one second and collect your thoughts. There is no need to be screaming on the radio like was happening. I get it if a PO is shooting, being shot at, or has been shot. But when you have a bunch of gangbangers memorializing the life of a gangbanger and a few more get thumped, ..... it's not something to get hysterical about. Also, does anyone know if the 10-1 at the hospital shortly after the shooting was related?

Take a look at the older posts, there are numerous comments. Your post reminds me to eat my orange sitting on my desk, thanks.
It was crazy on 79/Escanaba last night. It literally took a 100 cops to quell the situation.
The gang bangers are doing more then posturing when the Police come.
They actively want to confront us on these crime scenes. Same thing happened at 79/Loomis last week. It is getting worse!
If true brilliant move by Fop to hire a spokeperson to coment on police shootings. We finally have it where there are no comments given at scene or for that matter at all. All that's said is that yes there was a shooting. End of story. Now Camden can come say something erroneous or inaccurate and the officers will be hung out to dry. Boy this Shields guy must owe a lot since all these people are getting jobs.

Hey man, get a life... I've seen this same comment more or less a dozen times on all different topics. Did you get dumped from the Academy recently and now you're bitter? They actually do some pretty decent training at Near North. The Active Shooter course and the TTU course are very good. TARA is not what it should be but still valuable. Now if you want to start dumping POs out of HQ, I'm all for it!
Same old City, same old killing, same old Democrats running everything, same old dumb-ass
Voters that keep re- electing them.
"Honest to pete, what the hell is going on down south?"
The "SuperPredator", our society was warned about years ago has now come to fruition and they have no fear of us or the courts.
They are shooting at 79 and Muskegon and it's only 10:30 am. It's gonna be a long day in 004!

You are an idiot. They should make you a boss. The training done there has, and will, save lives. But the typical CPD idiot response is that the only training you ever need is what you get in the Academy.
Morons like you are the ones no one wants near them when things get bad. You have no skills, can't shoot and are a hazard to everyone around you.
God help the child or family who needs a well trained officer to respond and your sorry ass shows up. Hell, given your response above, you'll even fuck up the report. It'll be one long sentence of spelling and grammar errors.
Now go get your fucking shine box.
Reminds me of an incident a few years ago while reading the 24 hour log... victim, while driving with a friend, states to same " there's the guy who shot me last month " , victim exits vehicle, unarmed , confronts offender who is armed, at which time offender shoots victim AGAIN, this time fatally.
Ya can't make this s**t up.
love how WGN MORNING NEWS was referring to the gathering of joe and jane shithead on the corner of 79 & escanaba as "a memorial service". its too bad pookie didnt throw a grenade onto the corner during that "memorial service".. i mean go big or go home right?

You've somehow managed to miss about half a dozen comments about this already. Most of them are under the topic about Shields making changes at FOP.
Personally, I think it's a great idea. People have been bitching here that there's no one out there presenting our side to the media, that there's no one reminding them that the guy who shoots at us is NOT the 'victim' once we shoot back at him, and that Media Affairs is run by someone who's clueless.
Camden is known to the media and he'll be a good rep for us.

Anyone from 004 at the time remember the "Hartfield Riots"
Same shit, same street 25 years later.
A coal shovel, tossed from the 3rd Floor, penetrating the front wind shield of your car in the alley is a wake up call. Anyone who knows me, knows that this has been the topic of Officer Safety-Roll Call Training....

The 2nd watch in 006 are just like that too!Nothing wosre than Bt.675 talking for a LOoong period of time giving a narrative instead of JUST a code!
it no longer is an option to leave the dead bodies on the ground while you wait for the Crime lab to process the scene--Get the paramedics to pick up the bodies and take them to the hospital! This is now an officer safety issue! Even if its 4 am and there is only the dead body and no people around--the neighborhood seems to come alive and a hostile crowd forms quickly! The most important thing is US--CPD--We have to protect ourselves first before we can protect others! Stay Safe! God Bless!
I agree with SCC, why couldn't a $pecial Unit with a $ix figure C.O. that predicts street violence predict trouble on a street corner filled with gangbangers ?
One thing I learned from years in the ghetto was the event called a "re-pass" , which, uh, occurs a year after ones demise.
Maybe the Great Swami didnt get a lesson on ghetto vernacular whilst in low brow patrol.
And yes there will be special attentions at future events.
Englewood will be in mourning thru November.
Ta-Ta, Gotta Run.
God Bless Mike Sheilds... Shake it up Brother!
Welcome to the 4th dist Escabla blah is the worst street in the dist and 79th is a shithole from one end to the other.maybe the memorial for the shithead who got one in the melon will have more deaths just keep police safe.

If anything, we do not get enough training. Be glad you get a break out of the district and try to pay attention to something that just might save your life some day (or even keep you out of fed court). And when you show up, dont be the P.O. that spends most of the time texting and screwing around on your cell phone or is most concerned about how long is the lunch, and can we get out of here early. Some are just too cool for school I guess..
Did the crystal ball unit predict this incident?
just axin

Your answer: five shot equals one shooting or one person shot. Deceptive, isn't it??
the 10-1 at South Shore Hospital was related (victims' families getting into it); question, though.....how to do effective crowd/riot control? Tear gas, shields, horses, attack dogs, rubber bullets?....somebody better come up with something.....
I kinda like those street-side memorials. That's where I pick up all my candles and stuffed animals.
Do you think if you get General Aidid, we will simply put down our weapons and adopt American democracy? That the killing will stop? We know this. Without victory, there will be no peace. There will always be killing, see? This is how things are in our world.

"Re-Pass" That is a retarded ghetto culture event that I just don't get. Is that like passing away after you pass away? They love to make up terms out there. Just like "Baby daddy." Take some ownership of a relationship you were once in, and just say ex-boyfriend. They don't even wanna be connected to the guy anymore, they just want to say baby daddy. That is the most ridiculous term ever...next to re-pass.

Bill passes to eliminate gun waiting periods for order of protection filers
(T)he House approved legislation to end 72-hour waiting periods to buy a gun for state FOID cardholders who have obtained an interim or plenary order of protection.
“This is going to help people, typically woman, protect themselves when the police can’t be there to protect them,” said Rep. David Harris (R-Arlington Heights), who was the chief House sponsor of the bill that passed 78-34 and now moves to the Senate.
Gun-control advocates disputed that assertion.
“What you are creating is a loophole to our already porous gun-control laws, and I fear we’re not going to provide any additional help to victims of domestic violence,” said Rep. Will Burns (D-Chicago), the 4th Ward alderman-elect.

skunk scent spray.
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.

So now it's "curtain"parts to blame. Whats next drapes, rugs, couches... When will the madness end?

I'm thinking college isn't appropriate, but maybe a remedial third grade spelling class would be helpful.
Regarding the 10-1 at South Shore Hospital (I was not there):
Just remember what happened to Bill Cozzi when he got involved in a problem in a hospital.
If it is in the hospital, on private property, let their security handle it.
Because you know that you are on camera from every angle when you are there and that can come back to bite you in the ass.

The word is REPAST, which means a meal, and in this case means a post-funeral meal. You know, the kind of event many people have at a home, a restaurant or in a church basement after the passing of a loved one. But don't let your woeful lack of knowledge stop you from making fun of what is a lovely tradition.
