Preckwinkle Shows Her Ass
- In the winter of 2008, then presidential candidate Barack Obama asserted that blacks and whites "are arrested at very different rates, are convicted at very different rates and receive different sentences for the same crime."
Speaking Tuesday at the Fairmont Hotel during an event sponsored by the Executives Club of Chicago, Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle echoed that assertion about Cook County's criminal justice system.
"Nobody talks about institutional racism, but what kind of a criminal justice system has an outcome where 70 percent of the people are African-American and the rest are Latinos."
- Preckwinkle described Cook County jails as "entirely black and brown people. ... This is in a county where a third of our population is African-Americans, a third Latino, and a third white and Asian."
- Steve Patterson, spokesman for Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart, wouldn't address Preckwinkle's thesis, saying in an email, "At the jail, we just house the people arrested - not sure where that fits with what she's saying."
Ted Pierson, co-chairman of the National Alliance Against Racism and Political Repression, a Chicago area civil rights organization, agreed with Preckwinkle.
"I agree with everything she said," continuing, "the system is rigged."
"The state's attorney won't even bring the case if they're white," Pierson said.
Nationally, Preckwinkle's notions have been challenged numerous times. Heather MacDonald, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, challenged similar nationwide statistics in a June 2008 article for the City Journal.
"The favorite culprits for high black prison rates include a biased legal system, draconian drug enforcement, and even prison itself," McDonald wrote. "None of these explanations stands up to scrutiny. The black incarceration rate is overwhelmingly a function of black crime. Insisting otherwise only worsens black alienation and further defers a real solution to the black crime problem."
John Lott, author of the book "More Guns Less Crime," challenged the idea that the nation's drug laws were biased against African-Americans in a piece for the libertarian Cato Institute, published in March 2009. In it he suggested penalties for drug offenses were set up "because the lives of many blacks were being destroyed by blacks and people thought that they could help by having large penalties on those involved with crack (cocaine)."
A 1994 study by Stanford University professor Joan Petersila of about 11,000 inmates in California concluded that sentencing relied heavily on prior criminal record, seriousness of the offense and the presence of a gun, while race played a negligible role.

The truth rarely, if EVER, matters in Crook County.
I've never waited for a black offender to come along just to make an arrest. I have waited for an OFFENDER to come along, then arrested them.
Whether they're white, brown or black, if they're violating the law, they get arrested.
Now, there may be OTHER sociological issues at play here.
Parents may not be teaching their children to respect the system, children may see drugs and crime as the easy way to gain cash and status, education may not be valued or pursued, there may be impulse-control issues... let's study THOSE.
admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery.
Toni Preckwinkle is a moron!
It's called parenting Toni. Who's your daddy?
This B.S. has been pedaled for the last 25 years, yet there are still people that belive the " race card " whenever and wherever it's played. But when confronted with ESTABLISHED data, that's racist too, (chuckle -chuckle)
But as an example, hire, promote and make assignments on this Department based on the same, that's diversity and/ merit.
Don’t believe, just look around.
It's nothing but a lifetime excuse for failure.
She is as big a phony as was Stroger. Proof positive is the fact that the Cook County Forest Preserve Police still exists. The do nothing and are well paid for it! Each and every member of that organization gets their job directly though her office.
Reformer my ass!
Obama is a liar. Why should anyone care what he asserts or says.
Obama said he would close Gitmo -- it's not closed.
Obama said that unions should have the right to collective bargain and if someone tried to take it away he would put on his comfy shoes and be right out there on the picket lines -- I did not see him in Wisconsin recently!
Obama said that he did not run for office to bail out some fat cat bankers -- he's bailed them out, continues to bail them out and the administration runs cover for the bankers felonies. Obama's only major accomplishment is bailing out fat cat bankers.
Nevertheless, with regard to opening up the prisons. Hey, let them all out so the state can "save". Savings always good can't you hear it? Letting all the criminals out will enable us to "save" "X" million dollars and create jobs in the police department. Jobs are good right? heh.
Now there's something to think about. If letting loose let's say 50% of the prison population would save enough money to fully fund the cities pensions hypothetically speaking -- should we do it?
Suppose on the other hand we had to do another tax increase to keep them all incarcerated -- should we do that?
What's probably going on in the big scheme of things is that we are not currently getting enough illegal immigrants drug cartel members into this sanctuary city. I mean now with the price gas approaching $5/gal and all. So to make up for that we need to release several thousand offenders because if we don't have shootings and crime going on with enough intensity in this city, taxpayers may just start taking a closer look at the scams and kickbacks (campaign contributions) going on in the political arena..
All speculation of course...ya know..
I work in 007 and as much as I try, my 1/3 arrest quota for whites and asians is just impossible.
Job security!
When, except in her fevered dreams, did one third of the nation become black,one third Hispanic and what is left over is split between the remaining groups?
More CPS Math? And she is going to write a budget for the county?
If this is true I want my minority set asides right now!
Correlation does not equal causation!
You can not go around locking up whites for no reason just to even out the stats. Major high crime cities account for most murders and violent crimes. Whites are the minority in these cities. Let our people go. We can not even drink water from the same fountain in without being shot at. The white sheep are not responsible for the new babies mama style fatherless children. There are so many churches in the poor neighborhoods and nobody gets married.
"The state's attorney won't even bring the case if they're white," Pierson said."
AAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Whoo!
AAAhahaha.
What a fucking idiot.
Is the Cook County board president suggesting that juries ignore facts and let the accused walk free simply based on the color of their skin? ?? Huh????
you damn coppers better start aresstin mo' white folk
Yeah, why don't we just pick random white people and throw em in county. Just to even things up.
Would you expect anything less from city/county brass?
The fact that they still really believe that crap is telling. There will be no progress made until they lose the victim mentality and come to grips with the real issues facing the black community.
They are certainly not helped by having the worst possible role models as leaders. The "reverend" Jesse Jackson with a love child and constantly shoving his face in a camera, Al Sharpton and his idiocy, Jeremiah Wright and his hateful rhetoric. They need real leaders and they have none now.
They are doomed to failure. No respect for education and placing value on hip hop materialism and selfishness can only lead you down the wrong path.
this is just a fact: you can look up race of offenders on your computer at work..95% of all offenders for murder are black and hispanic. so wouldnt that mean that all the poeple in jail for murder from chicago would be 95% black or hispanic. its not a racial issue its a fact issue. if you do the crime you get pinched. doesnt matter your color
"Nobody talks about institutional racism, but what kind of a criminal justice system has an outcome where 70 percent of the people are African-American and the rest are Latinos."
Preckwinkle described Cook County jails as "entirely black and brown people. ... This is in a county where a third of our population is African-Americans, a third Latino, and a third white and Asian."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Well, let's see Toni. If two thirds, or 66%, of the population is black or Latino, then it makes sense even by your convoluted logic that the majority of the prison population would consist of the same ethnic groups.
Now throw in the percentage of black and Latino street gang members versus white street gang members and you just might be on to something there, won't you, sweetheart? I mean the last time I checked, the Popes didn't outnumber the Gangster Disciples or Latin Kings.
Add to that the number of unwed single mothers and the number of children they have. Do we think it's going to be higher for whites, or blacks and Latinos? All I hear is chirps, Toni.
How about the cultural values, Toni? Perhaps a rejection of proper English, education in general, and placing value instead on instant gratification, self centeredness, refusal to accept responsibility, and wasteful flashy material things contributes to a decline in morals which leads to more criminal behavior.
Maybe when you can get that cultural shift away from referring to women as "hoes," driving around with marijuana instead of a drivers license while blasting rap music laden with vulgarity and violent lyrics in an uninsured beater car with thousands of dollars in chrome and sound system but no valid plate or city sticker there would be no further need of a statistical traffic "study" that shows you nothing, but enriches another one of your sorry excuses for leaders.
When you can get the sorry excuses for men to understand that taking care of their multiple children doesn't mean getting LINK, WIC and SSI but getting a job, there might be some progress.
Until then, you'll still have aldercreatures driving drunk over fire hoses, Davis cursing out cops for stopping him after driving like a fool, Meeks beefing on cops after blowing through stop signs, Harvard professors yelling, "yo momma" to cops who question them after a call of an apparent break in, and all of us having beer summits after "teachable moments" instead of just calling it what it really is; a refusal to accept responsibility for your own irresponsible lifestyles and value systems.
The damn government is very responsible for the minority crime rate. The stinkin' government became daddy in many households. Paid to have children and just keep the biological daddy out of the mix. It is too damn hard for most single parents to raise children in this society. I didn't say it can't be done, because we have many examples of it, but it is difficult to raise children with an ideal setting. let alone a single parent that probably doesn't have much money, education and just plain isn't ready to raise children.
This idiot Preckwinkle and every other race hustler and stupid liberal in this society we have here see dark faces locked up and determine that it just has to be racism. Forget the fact that these dark faces victimize other dark faces. No, no! It's institutional racism! They're all just lousy liars because they know full well what they're saying is a damn lie.
When, except in her fevered dreams, did one third of the nation become black,one third Hispanic and what is left over is split between the remaining groups?
More CPS Math? And she is going to write a budget for the county?
If this is true I want my minority set asides right now!

I think her generalization was for Chicago, not the nation. The city and contiguous suburbs have a very high concentration of black residents compared to most of the nation.
You know I find this story quite humorous. The black communities scream for more police, so what does the department do? Take police from the white areas and sends them to the black areas where they arrest more black people. And why are the black communities so dangerous? I guess it's the crazy Swedes coming in robbing, selling drugs and muttering everyone.
I hope that Preckwinkle demands that Vanecko be charged and housed in the Cook County Jail!
Studies by two conservative thinktanks aside, there should be a little room in your thinking for what Preckwinkle said. This country locks up people at an unbelievable rate for drug crimes thanks to a war on drugs that has rarely made sense other than as a scare tactic for the middle class public.
And there is a some obvious racist history in the drug war. When Nixon expanded anti-drug efforts it was a clear "law and order" play for the white, suburban middleclass vote against the crazy, lawless, ghetto blacks. Odd timing because the last Jim Crow laws had just been struck down. When Reagan put the focus on crack (out of nowhere) he wasn't protecting anybody from themselves - he was using the spectre of black and hispanic crack mommas to increase arrests and jail terms for inner city residents.
Sure, each person locked up has responsibility for their actions and this is simplistic, but it is true and how has it helped? We created neighborhoods of felons and people that can't vote or easily get regular jobs are never going to contribute to society. It's a mess but it is not on the police to fix it by arresting white people.
Same reason wildings downtown are ignored by the media and the police department.
This shithole is on it's way to becoming the next Rhodesia/Zimbabwe.
Lets make a deal, Toni: We'll never arrest another black in the 'hood as long as we can have a zero tolerance policy for criminals of ALL races downtown and in white areas. Fair enough?
No Surrender.
oh no the race card again
to show how dumb Preckwinkle is, the know nothing City of Chicago Deputy Budget Dirctor will soon be the Cook County Budget Director. She is a former Public Information Officer. Sheesh, I am so glad that Preckwinkle is a reformer.
There would be a lot more in jail, but only about 10% of the criminals are caught. Just read the 24 hour reports. Nearly every offender is an unknown M/1 or m/4. Prick winkle is not very bright when it comes to crime.
well WTF If I had known i wont go to jail for any crime ITS on...
opps unless you're a white cop
a recent post said something about Rod Blagojevich still has pull with CPD? i guess clout never dies or goes to jail $ Luv this place only in shitcago and crook county
... Parents may not be teaching their children to respect the system, children may see drugs and crime as the easy way to gain cash and status, education may not be valued or pursued, there may be impulse-control issues... let's study THOSE.
4/24/2011 12:17:00 AM
What, exactly, do children learn from being raised in a "family" where the "father" either is NOT present, is NOT contributing financially or is in jail?
What do children learn from an environment in which the TOTAL INCOME of said family if derived COMPLETELY from government assistance programs?
Quite frankly, I have a problem with these discussions here in the blogosphere. These are VERY involved sociological issues that we'll never solve. Add to that that we are a VERY SMALL part of society who actually get a glance at the underbelly of the beast that is the ghetto and know its horrors.
I'd bet that 80% of Americans' "knowledge" of the ghetto is gained from TV and another 10% know it from only having contact with a small slice of it, like employees of businesses or govt programs who deal with these people. Very few roll in the hood and actually enter into their homes to see the squalor that they scurry around in and see how they live. We certainly are not experts on how to seriously fix the problem but we are some of only a few members of "normal" society who see the ghetto from the inside out. The rest of respectable society would not believe what they were seeing if they saw it through our eyes... Hell, there I times I don't believe it even while it is occurring right before my very eyes!
Oh good, well this must mean they don't need more police in the black neighborhoods because everything is under control. When is someone with a voice going to call these people out?
I think we should put more police in white neighborhoods, then we might arrest more white people. As it sits right now police are tripping over themselves in places like 007 and 011, lets move some to 022,016,and 004. I think that would help.
To:4/24/2011 03:46:00 AM
Amen brother!
Well put!
And all you liberals thought that electing a Black President would solve the race problem...
This is the same-pandering to your constituency-that collapsed the housing market and sent the world ecomomy into a tailspin. Remember the endless "studies" that told us that minorities were denied mortgages at triple the rate of Caucasians? Of course it was ALWAYS attributed by Liberals to racism. How did Democrats Barney Frank and Chris Dodd react to these "studies"? They pressured banks into giving unqualified minorities mortgages despite bad credit, bad work history and criminal records. Of course, Toni Preckwinkle couldn't possibly believe the things she is saying about the Justice System, but since when do Liberal Democrats and their willing accomplices in the media EVER let truth get in the way of a good story? When will African Americans realize they are being victimized by Liberals?
Well, now we know. She hates white people.
---not a cop
What happened to that "we have to be better" thing?
The older law-abiding black folks are dying and any black under forty is a life-long bust out.
Not much hope here.
Don't scare me like that. I thought she dropped trou somewhere--eeeeewwwwwww!
Those crazy Asian and white kids really should get locked up more when they're on their way to school instead of the street corner to sling dope.
I don't see institutional racism. I do see institutional "give me a handout so I don't have to work while I have multiple children that I can't possibly support or care for."
Do you think that could be the problem, Toni?
Until then, you'll still have aldercreatures driving drunk over fire hoses, Davis cursing out cops for stopping him after driving like a fool, Meeks beefing on cops after blowing through stop signs, Harvard professors yelling, "yo momma" to cops who question them after a call of an apparent break in, and all of us having beer summits after "teachable moments" instead of just calling it what it really is; a refusal to accept responsibility for your own irresponsible lifestyles and value systems.
4/24/2011 03:46:00 AM
Man, that's it right there. You said it. Three paragraphs up I recalled the Meeks thing and thought if he really was "for real" he would have gone on the news and admitted that he is an arrogant asshole wrapped up in his own ego, spit and sputtered every which way to make it look like everybody else's fault and accepted his fucking ticket like everybody else, period. I'm sorry, but from on high all the way down, everyone in the black community is suffering from delusional psychosis.
Keep it real means telling the truth. When you have black leaders skating around their own behavior, don't expect any better on down the line.
a refusal to accept responsibility for your own irresponsible lifestyles and value systems.
4/24/2011 03:46:00 AM
Well, with that kind of common sense logic, you can forget about political office.
And , it's because of that 66% of turd makeup, Crook Cty will never get a true or competent leader.
Damn straight the system is rigged. The system is rigged to put criminals in jail. If the criminals happen to be people of color then what dose that tell you about them? It tells me that the people in the jail are criminals that happen to be of color.
We don't hear anything about the break down of government assistance along racial lines. How about the break down of high school dropouts? Or the biggie, racial break down of the highest tax payers in Cook county.
More race baiting for political gain.
Unfortunately, these false theories are prevalent in academic circles and among blacks in general. They hear it so often, they actually believe it to be true. The other reason, I suspect, is that many Blacks just do not want to admit that way too many of their race are criminals so they look for alternative reasons instead of focusing on the real problem. Politicians in general, are afraid to speak the truth about crime for fear of losing votes. Either way, they all can avoid solving the problem by addressing the real reasons .Ignorance, just plain ignorance.
Whites and Asians should be offended by this remark for its racism. Yes, it is a racist statement to try to find racism where none exists just to further your goals.
That shit didn't work for Dorothy Tillman in that hospital down south now did it? That's because this stupid shit only happens in Cook County.
And poor Bill Cosby opens his mouth and they stone the man from all angles.
It's time to fucking step up. Quit playing the race card Toni P!
She is as big a phony as was Stroger.
Holy Crap! You mean Toni's a SHE?
She just lost my white vote.
That really wasn't Toni up there. Jesse Jackson was behind the stage pulling that dummy's strings.
But in the real life drama Chicago Code, ALL the bad guys are white. According to them there are no bad black people in Chicago...and the damn Irish run everything!
"She is as big a phony as was Stroger. Proof positive is the fact that the Cook County Forest Preserve Police still exists"
We all know that the 'Tree Police' have been a joke and nothing more than Democrat precinct workers for years. I recall when they drove around in yellow cars and it was only a summer job for retired city coppers.
"The state's attorney won't even bring the case if they're white," Pierson said."
Only if it is a white cop as defendant.
"Yeah, why don't we just pick random white people and throw em in county. Just to even things up."
Let's start with the 'Midget'! LOL!
The blame lies with the Kennedys, Jacksons, Wrights, Sharptons and now the Preckwinkles of the world telling them it's not their fault. I despise these people more than the offenders themselves.
Without these morons making excuses for minorities, this world would be a different place. Neighborhoods would have integrated naturally, and we wouldn't be looking at each other like we had differences.
People don't have enough respect for the things they haven't worked for, that's why the ghetto is the ghetto. These are simple concepts the Kennedy's of the world don't get. I hate them for the world they have pushed on us.
And to further even things out, lets have gang members start shooting at white people in 016 and 022 so that lead poisoning isn't institutionally racist as well. Fact is Toni, all the problems that exist in the black "community" exist because the black "community" is too busy blaming everyone else for its problems. No matter how much money you throw at the problem, it hasn't fixed it. No matter how many breaks you give a shithead, he still manages to continually fuck up his and others lives. God gave us free will Toni, how often do your preacher folk preach that?
Who commits the crime in Cook County. It's not that perfect one third each. Look at the crime stats in Chicago and the suburbs. There isn't a single crime stat that proves this racist's claims. Don't forget she supported the honorary sign for Hampton the asshole black panther. She shows her true colors.
Well, then quit asking for more police in the minority or "black & brown" areas" idiot! Police make arrests, thats what they do! D'uh!I'll gladly take more police in my neighborhood and be confident my people don't engage in the nonsense yours do Toni! As a matter of fact put TRU & MSF in 022 forever if ya want, we don't mind!
I was getting food one day in 008, just west of Western. A lady behind me and her husband are listening to my radio and asked why all the offenders are male blacks? I told her that they are jobs in 007. She said "what, you only lock up black folks?" I told her that we don't usually have a problem with the white folks in Englewood cause they're not a problem. She did not like that comment.
If I recall correctly, a few years back Oprah Winfrey offered a free college scholarship with salary and child care to all the single black mothers from her project building/development/rowhouse...whatever and guess how many took her up on that? ZERO! I'm not making a racial statement, my partner is Black and he has me beat by 4 years of college and is way smarter than me. I'm just clarifying.

They's getting like them Himalayan snow leopards, scarce as a mf!
There is only one solution to this issue, white people need to commit more crime.
Um....who gives a shit? That jagoff in Springfield pardons them anyway.....wait....how many whites has be pardoned? Look into that, asshats!
in a few years chicago will be in my rear view mirror forever--- I will hold many fond memories of my 50 plus years here but it will be time to move on--- most of my friends from the " old neighborhood " got out a long time ago and are now living in surrounding suburbs or collar counties--- I often visit with friends outside of the city and it's like being in a different world--- preckwinkle and all the other shitheads can have chicago because it is fast approaching detroit status....
Preckwinkle is pandering to her voting block.Look at the services she has cut or wants to cut from the white Suburbs,then look how much more she wants to put in to that money pit hospital system.
Yeah? I got two words for you, asshat....FUCK YOU! Now I'm going to lock up the first white person I see, show them this article, and tell them to get a good lawyer and sue the fuck out of the city for racism.....this is going to be fun!
Let's turn this around and ask the black victims in black on black violence weather they want their assailants locked up and if they care about the color of their skin.
Hey Toni
totally agree with you. BTW while we re on the topic did you know that 70% of all atletic scholarships given out go to black people? And that 90% of all pro athletes are black as well. I would have liked to go to college for free and maybe even played in the NFL but i was never given the opportunity because im white. No free money for me, oh well I guess thats life. No worries I ll get over it. No other country in the world does more to try and give black people an opportunity to succeed than the United States. All its done is weaken our country by lowering our standards. Maybe you should reas a history book sometime, you would find out that when Irish, Italian, and Polish imigrants imigranted over here they were treated worse than any other race but they worked hard and made good lives for themselves and they didnt make excuses along the way.
I don't see any white gang bangers hanging out on street corners in my white neighorhood. Selling dope or drinking while blasting rap music from their cars at 3:00 a.m. on a Tuesday. But I do see that in the black neighborhood that I go to work in 5 days a week. The same black neighborhood where I chase down robbers, burglers, rapist and murders. Guess what? These members of the black community are commiting these crimes againt their own people. I am white so I think somebody should give me a big thank you from the black community. You want to know why the black community is in such a hole? Open your eye's black people and stopped being influenced by the shit you see on T.V. It's not reality, life is not a rap video or a video game TAKE RESPONIBILITY!
If we take the police out of low crime areas and put them in high crime areas. even more Blacks will be arrested and the "problem" will just grow worse.

Well since the presidente agrees with her I think from this day forward CPD should no longer lock up black criminals anymore and see what happens. I have a feeling the murder rate on my block won't go skyrocket. O yea give all those Latino gang bangers a pass too.
I guess her and the president want an urban genocide to control eliminate some of the dead weight if civilized society.
Toni...let's test your theory. Let's fling open the jail doors and allow the predators back into the neighborhoods. I know what would happen to you politically...you'd be through! Hard working and voting blacks in chicago don't want these thugs in their neighborhoods. They are more conservative then you apparently think. But, I get it. Every once in a while you have to show you're 'down with the struggle.' Now the truth; fewer blacks are being arrested and brought into the system. The census in jail is getting smaller and we will reach a tipping point where fewer criminals will be created from getting housed. Don't miss the golden opportunity to re-establish black neighborhoods as decent places to live. I think a little bit of planning and money will reap great dividends. So, Toni, I have to ask. Do you only take your own counsel, or do you actually have a consigliere you listen to?
Typical DemocRATic Liberal theory....when you cant win the argument with facts....call the people you are debating with racists! Instead of them coming out and telling the African American community its time to start being resposible for there actions....the say the system is racist!!! Thats why I cant stand liberals!!!!!!!
Those who say racism doesn't exist are probably the biggest offenders. Just cut the BS- it happens quite often and CPD is no exception and it's worse internally. We've just been looking the other way for so long it's become "accepted practice." And that's the sad part of this job and this city.
....I mean the last time I checked, the Popes didn't outnumber the Gangster Disciples or Latin Kings....
Last and biggest "white" gang in chicago..the Gaylords.
I was at the wilding/flash mob detail at Chicago and Michigan last night. I forget. What color were all those kids? I don't want to offend Toni when I lock them up for beating on some woman.
Change we can believe in!
She sounds like a racist to me. Read the article again and substitute white for black and brown.
All those blacks and Latinos down at the morgue getting bullet fragments pulled out of their heads, when there are hardly any whites who have to go there after death to get bullets retrieved from their corpses. Some whites go straight to a funeral home and avoid the morgue altogether, claiming that they died naturally.
This natural death conspiracy is the result of institutional racism. Police just assume that young black males lying among cartridge cases and bleeding from the head have been murdered, when 90 year old whites with terminal illnesses are assumed natural deaths just because they died in a hospital under a doctor's care. Naturally, once the medical examiner confirms the police's racist assumptions, the police begin looking for this so-called murderer and, as usual, assume the murderer is black just because "some" witnesses say they saw a black man shooting at the time they saw this so-called murder victim falling on the ground.
The bottom line is that it is pure racism to assume that just because a black man is shooting that he is shooting AT another black man. It is just as possible that he is shooting in response to his bleak economic situation and that another young black man died at the same moment because of the toxins given to him by racist food and liquor stores. Just because one of these "stray" bullets happened to "graze" the head of another man who was possibly already dead, does not mean that we have to scour the streets looking for some mythical racist image of yet another black murderer on the loose.
Can't be that these certain minority groups are really really comitting the crimes that they get arrested for right. We cannot help that the white folks are not out there being bad. So I guess the right thing to do is give the minorities or the bad people a free play until the white folks can become criminals. this Fucked up
It's obvious most of you have no clue what institutional racism is. Open your minds and take the time to educate yourself on some of the structures, causes and reasons for what's going on in the black and hispanic communities in America. It's easy to point the finger at a problem, but remember when you point the finger at someone you have three fingers pointed right back at you. It was just a couple of decades ago when we were still legally alienating an entire group of people, separate was not equal then, so let's not pretend like everything should be okay today. I'm sure there will be a lot of people on SCC who don't like what I have to say and think I'm an unpatriotic liberal for being a little critical of this country, but FYI I'm the police too and I served this country faithfully in the Infantry USMC, so I have every right to be critical, if not more then some of you phony patriots who only serve yourself.
3: 46 am, you hit right on its ugly head. Preckwinkle lives in hyde park, a very diversified neighborhood. What would she know bout what goes on, in 002, 003, 004, 006, 007, 010, 011, and 025 These are areas that are both full of fast food places or store front chuches. Neither one offers any real solutions to what is going on in those homes. Gramdparents, not enjoying retirement, but raising grandchildren, greatgrandchildren. Women, that are not self empowered and open their legs to the lowlife that claims to love them. Children, getting shot at 232am, because momma didnt tell them curfew was at 1030pm. Toni, is way off on this one. She has to venture out of her cocoon and see for herself, the real shortcomings of those communities and not rely on case studies that are, almost always scued, to support the writers original hypothesis. She is a welcomed change, to the cook county board, lets hope she gets her head out of her ass and stop with this race baiting bullshit and just balance the budget and limit the cronyism.
Those tallies of those that are arrested reflect the demographics of this city. Just saying, Open your eyes Preckwinkle.
These fools need a chaperone! How is it possible for them to raise the type of capital to win an election (even in crook county) and still be unable to speak intelligently about our challenges. Besides...we are all certain that she is not pushing someone else's agenda...right?
The last time I checked, Asians are minorities. Yet Asians are more educated, have a higher college graduate rate, higher advanced degree rate, higher income and less crime than any other group. Including whites. Oh yeah we are a racist country. GFY Toni.
its hard to tell your voting block to '' shape up''. bottom line...when you reward and accept bad behavior, you will recieve more of the same.
Certain people commit crimes, they go to jail.
Certain people afraid to go to be in jail with other certain people refrain from crime.
Certain people make a career out of getting those certain people to vote them into office based on commentary that there's an impropriety amongst certain people that they do not receive or misrepresented their fair share.
Where is it said that there should be a standard (quota) when referring to who gets tossed in jail?
COOK COUNTY.
Darts Jail is empty, Alvarez' court won't prosecute.
Albeit that goof who duct taped his father to a chair and bashed his head with a Louisville Slugger will spend some time at the jailhouse, his 3 accomplices....well, there's enough of them already there, they'll get some probation.
That's how we "roll" in Crook County.
The "I am a victim" mentality of many in the black community continues 150 years after slavery ended. The silence of the majority of blacks who do what is expected of them (except Bill Cosby, who was vilified) keeps the victim mentality in play.
After all the work during the civl rights era to improve education opportunities, freedom of housing, freedom in general, you have a generation of people who don't have the sense to pull up their pants, only know who the President is because he's black, and cannot read beyond 4th grade levels. Why?
When blacks stop acting like victims and start being accountable they will rise to new heights. Until then, a large number of them will be a drain on society.
little known fact, the gang and tac teams have for years, been afraid of the almighty gaylord nation in boys town.
Ive said this before Just not publicly Tell Ms Preckwinkle ( for whom I voted by the way) to buy a police radio and keep a tally sheet of the descriptions of offenders
mark the columns Black White Hispanic Asian etc
See which column fills up first Then give a speech about that
Go read the Heather Mcdonald piece. It's an exceedingly refreshing, exceedinly clear-eyed presentation of the problem.

Let them all out of jail. They mostly prey on their own. Thats justice.
Ignorance is contagious apparently. It's funny one month they are demanding more police because the killings are out of control, the next month their claiming their being over policed. Schizophrenia? Apparently their is a foreign unknown source out there committing these high number of crimes. I think this lady traded brain cells for votes....
"Yeah, why don't we just pick random white people and throw em in county. Just to even things up.

Start in Palatine and Oak Park, they loovvee Toni so I am sure they will be more than willing to evan out the numbers
The black population in America is 12% per the latest census. Blacks make up 88% of players on NBA rosters. By Preckwinkle's logic, shouldn't blacks make up only 12% of NBA rosters, while the remaining 88% consist of whites, asians, and hispanics? This is total insanity! Why isn't she being roasted in the media over these remarks?
She got her office. Now she can be a racist.

Yeah, when Harold Washington was elected some black guy got on the bus and stood at the front and announced, "The po-lice gon' start beatin' aw yaw in the head now!"
When Obama was elected, we heard the same tune as the chunks of concrete flew.
Not going to happen. Anyone who knows anything about the Cook County Jail knows that you can have a forty-man "deck" with hardly a white face to be seen.
That's the way it is.
There is slightly more white population in IDOC -- there, you might see four or five white faces out of 40. That is largely because of the small-town/rural methamphetamine epidemic. Meth is the scourge of the rest of the state, seemingly unknown in Chicago -- but there's a damn good reason the Sudafed is behind the counter now.
That's the way it is.
Preckwinkle is a typical liberal-academic, living in an abstraction of reports and studies -- but you'd better believe she lives in what she perceives as a "better area" and that she keeps her doors locked. She knows that much. Wouldn't be the first gun-controller to have one in her own drawer, huh?
Ssssh.
A university professor, who is a good friend of mine, quized me on the exact same issue. He wanted to know what statistics were kept by the CPD regarding arrests by race. I referred him to the Department and he was actually lost for words once he examined the statistics which were sent to him. I remember that UPWARDS OF EIGHTY-FIVE percent of Chicago's homicide offenders are either hispanic or African-American. He never brought up the issue again.
I am tired of the weight, I deal with it every day -- and I don't see us getting out of it going in the direction we're going.
47th Street used to be a thriving black-owned business corridor; Milwaukee Avenue, say, used to be a thriving white-owned small business area. Both are dead or dying.
Retail isn't the end-all, and it can't stand by itself. You need production, manufacturing, the creation of wealth. Stores are just where the workers spend their checks.
THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANY SUCH THING AS A "SERVICE ECONOMY."
It looks like the world has been switched around too much for us to come back -- our prosperity has deliberately been engineered away from us.
"It’s been two weeks since George Soros bought himself a major economic conference designed to remake the entire global economy. Just because the event received little major news attention, it still had an impact Americans might be reeling from for years.
"When the anti-American Soros spent $50 million creating the New York City-based Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET), he began a major move against the dollar..."

Turning a steel mill into a "music venue" and factories into "community centers" and "performance spaces" isn't quite the idea.
We can only sell each other so much insurance, only empty so many bedpans and cook so many tacos for each other in one big circle as prices and taxes rise and the population insanely skyrockets into an environment that increasingly cannot support individuals, let alone large families.
The foundation has been washed away.
I don't know what else to tell ya.
Just put all the police in 016 & 022---problem solved
I actually had a white lawyer that does a lot of criminal work in the west side tell me that the reason more blacks and hispanics are in jail is they are " over policed". He went on to say that if the white areas had more police more white people would be in jail. He found not diffence in the crime between the west side and the white suburbs. Amazing, the ignorace of some people. I did not have the heart to tell him that the crime rate in middle class black areas is very low, with a few exceptions.Preckwinkle has the office now and it will be hard for anyone to defeat her. Now, her true feelings have come out. I can see there will be a lot of affirmative action at the county level.
Can't deny the obvious facts of the common and majority race of criminals in Chicago...Preckwinkle, you're a dork...
I'm sure there will be a lot of people on SCC who don't like what I have to say and think I'm an unpatriotic liberal for being a little critical of this country, but FYI I'm the police too and I served this country faithfully in the Infantry USMC, so I have every right to be critical, if not more then some of you phony patriots who only serve yourself.
4/24/2011 11:26:00 AM
Thank you for your service. Did you happen to serve with "reverend" Wright? What you don't understand is that you can criticize, as you have that right, but when you fail to support your opinion with fact and just play that worn out race card, it gets old.
Service in this country's military doesn't mean you are a patriot who supports the US Constitution. It's been a half a century since the civil rights laws were passed and the continual "We are victims" crap has played out already. Get on with your lives and stop looking for a scam, a handout, or sympathy. You'll get nowhere until you can take care of your community's problems head on and get some leaders worth a damn to help you do it.
I too served in the military overseas during this war on terror. My family came here from Europe and learned the language, had one parent work days and the other nights and made sure their children were raised properly and got educated. Was there some racism and anti-foreigner issues? Yes. But we didn't blame America. We got on with our lives and assimilated into this nation.
Try it. It might work for you. Unless you're still too busy crying about the past and not accepting responsibility for the fact that you mostly turn your backs on education and place more value on a "ghetto" culture.
Based on Toni's line of thought, the NBA is a hot bed of reverse discrimination.

You know, there is SO much truth coming out here where we can discuss this "without rancor" -- just the way things really are.
In reading this I am reminded of a quote from a magazine article twenty years or more ago -- I can't track the exact source down right now.
Anyway, it goes roughly --
"Blacks who emulate white role models are regarded as successful. Whites who emulate black role models are regarded as failures."
Look at this Nellessen punk, the white boy who brought three black homies with him to a ghetto-style duct tape home invasion on his own father, for God's sake. How brave to torture and slaughter an old man.

Talk about a sneering, in-your-face failure who needs to be strapped into a malfunctioning electric chair. I am white, and I will race you to pull the switch first on this motherf___er.
It is not just "the older law-abiding black folks" who knew what politeness and dignity were, either. Younger white people today are very often not at all what their parents were; they lack what used to be such basic manners as calling the dog off an arriving guest, or offering the person a drink on a hot day -- it's just not there.
They're on the freaking cell phone. You can sit there and listen to them argue with someone; they'll get to you eventually.
Yeah, I see white forty-year-olds and under who are exactly like that -- like oversized nasty children. That does seem to be a magic number.
We have all lost a great deal.

You are SO RIGHT! I am so sick and tired of the racism in this city. Jesse Jackson is a racist (especially against Jews), Farrakahn is a racist (won't let whites in his places of worship,) Al Sharpton is a racist, Jeremiah Wright is a racist and anti American asshole, Obama is a racist, and now Toni Prickwrinckled with her racist rants.
When will the whites and Asians stand up for themselves? Thanks for bringing this up. I really hate racism, just like you.
It's the same thing with those stupid racial cards for traffic stops. It make no sense. I work in an area that is 100% black, what race so you think I'll be pulling over??? Of course no license and no insurance for 75% of the people I pullover. I could do traffic all day and write 1000's of tickets to all blacks. If I do see a white person they are buying drugs in the hood.
I'm a detective in Area 1 for the last 10 years. 98% of my cases are black on black crime. Who do you think will be arrested. These politicians don't have a clue.
Madamm President, Please read the following book and you will see how you continue the victimization role of minorities in this County. You are the reason we will never move forward because it always someone elses fault.
Losing the Race:
Self-Sabotage in Black America
by John McWhorter- Harvard University
Yes, someone wants to have a long discussion about institutional racism and their vast knowledge of this topic.They think because they are a police office and were a marine, they have more credence and more chops to give an opinion. Maybe, and maybe not! And, yes it is still very prevalent in some parts of this society. But, and I say but, personal responsibility is still needed. As you can see, race is a very touchy subject, and will be for some time to come. Preckwinkle is just making excuses and is playing the race card. It looks like her true feelings have surfaced.In my opinion, race does not cause crime, but economic status, lack of education and lack of job opportunites forms a great breeding ground for crime, no matter what your race.
I disagree with Ms.PRICK WRINKLE.
I only lock up Eskimoes!
-Klondike Kat
They are certainly not helped by having the worst possible role models as leaders. The "reverend" Jesse Jackson with a love child and constantly shoving his face in a camera, Al Sharpton and his idiocy, Jeremiah Wright and his hateful rhetoric. They need real leaders and they have none now.
Yup. They follow these leaders like sheep to the slaughter. There leaders want them bare foot, pregnant and dependent so they can spout their rhetoric like leaders do and live off their followers ignorance. They need some real leaders who care about their flock rather then themselves. Its not just the revs either. Their politicians play them the same way. Tell them what they want to hear - that they are victims - rather than the hard truth that the way out starts with them. Keep them dependent while the leaders live high. Tell them what they want equals dependable votes and coin on Sundays. Disgusting.
Her statements are fine by me. Following this logic instead of moving more police to the ghetto which they have been crying for, lets move more police to the white neighborhoods. This will certainly result in less black people getting arrested and also more white people getting arrested. Everyone should be happy.
It's obvious most of you have no clue what institutional racism is. Open your minds and take the time to educate yourself on some of the structures, causes and reasons for what's going on in the black and hispanic communities in America. It's easy to point the finger at a problem, but remember when you point the finger at someone you have three fingers pointed right back at you. It was just a couple of decades ago when we were still legally alienating an entire group of people, separate was not equal then, so let's not pretend like everything should be okay today. I'm sure there will be a lot of people on SCC who don't like what I have to say and think I'm an unpatriotic liberal for being a little critical of this country, but FYI I'm the police too and I served this country faithfully in the Infantry USMC, so I have every right to be critical, if not more then some of you phony patriots who only serve yourself.
4/24/2011 11:26:00 AM
Just because you served your country makes you some sort of expert on institutional racism? I am the police too , and last time I checked I didn't see too many whites roaming the ghetto in englewood! Those that are, are usually white hypes that do usually go to jail when they are dirty.
I imagine you are one the militant types that drives around not locking anyone up because you think all white coppers are big bad racists and just puttin cases on the oppressed gangbangers, therefore you don't do shit and don't ride on jobs. Give me a fucking break man!
Last time I checked I didn't just code or not respond to the person with a gun call when I heard the offender was white. I'll lock up anyone ,any color anytime, when it's called for! Why? because it's my job, not because of race. Dust the chip off your shoulder and drop the race card while you're at it!
Wake up and smell the shit you're shoveling! African americans are commiting the majority of crime on african american people and it has nothing to do with institutional racism!
Preckwinkle is just another pandering, racist moron who cannot come to grips with the pathological issues in her own community. Blame everybody else but the person in the mirror.
why doesnt she ask who is killing the other percentage of black men that aren't in jail? you guessed it. black folks hate each other more than the system hates them. she acts like we sit and think about how to screw blacks over. to all the black racists out there, white america could care less about what you do. we are too worried about raising our families to be concerned about what you do.
This is why I have such a hard time supporting black candidates. Never facing or admitting to the vast problems in the black community, just flying the racism flag to furhter their bid to win the black vote. Nothing will get better in the black community until they make a change. No one and nothing else can make that happen.
"Yeah, why don't we just pick random white people and throw 'em in County. Just to even things up."
You mean like a EDGE mission?
Look up the crime rates on the FBI website. Mostly committed by ... (drum roll please) .... minorities.
You've got to look beyond the color of their skin and dig a little deeper. They are in jail for a reason and the reason is not their race. Aren't we beyond this nonsense?
I don't live in Chicago anymore but I was born and raised there and spent the first 30 some-odd years of my life there. That being said, Toni is full of it. I'm a black man that grew up on the South Side, is a product of the public schools (albeit the better ones in the city) and I have NEVER seen the inside of Cook County Jail. Hell, I've probably only driven by it a few times in my life. The reasons behind that are because I was raised properly!!! I was taught to respect my elders, I was taught that the police are around to HELP me, and I was taught that education was everything. I didn't grow up rich- my folks worked HARD (they were CPS teachers so you KNOW we weren't flush with cash)- so I'm not speaking from some ivory tower. I was known as a nerd because I didn't aspire to be in the streets. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't an angel but I knew better than to get locked up. My parents would've left me where I was if I had!!! These are the things that are missing in the black community. I won't say that no one cares because I have a LOT of friends that did well and are raising their kids the way we were raised BUT there are too many that DON'T give a rat's ass. In America you can do whatever the hell you want to do so the excuses are old. With all of the racial polarization in Chicago and even with some of the bigotry that I experienced first hand, the "white man" didn't stop me from becoming the hard-working (been unemployed for a total of 6 mos in the last 20 years), tax paying, HUSBAND and FATHER that I am today! NO community, black or white, can conquer it's problems, until it acknowledges them and tackles them head on. Stop getting used by these huckster, opportunistic pols and revs and think for yourselves. I'm sad to say that I would never raise my kids in my hometown- very sad. it was once a great city...

Lacking any type of substantial evidence as to race and since I am prohibited from asking, I only put down white on the traffic stop race cards no matter what. Seems fair to me and there never has been a problem.
it's obvious that this is a source of shame for Black and Hispanic Politicians, so they must assign blame to someone or something.
Again, the people who are in a position to make a difference, do nothing except saying who is to blame.
HEY TONI, THE BLACKS ARE TO BE BLAMED FOR THE BLACKS!!!!!
and the Hispanics...SAME.
The root of the problem is that you, and every other politician did nothing to solve the problem. you threw money at it with hopes that eventually it could stand on its own two feet. Guess what...didn't work.
One thing money won't buy; common sense, which runs very thin in some neighborhoods, and those are the neighborhoods that produce 70% of criminals

I'm the original poster from 04/24/2011 03:46 am. I had a teacher in high school who was just like you and one of the reasons that I'm the man I am today. He was, and remains, a mentor and greatest friend that I have today. He is the most decent man I know.
He's black, I'm white. We never cared. A good man is a good man. He never let race into the equation in anything he ever did and we all respected him even more for that. I stayed in touch with him for nearly three decades and we remain fast friends.
It's so unfortunate that the race baiters here in this city and across the country even have a following. They've done more harm and set us back further than most people can even imagine. They profit from keeping something ugly alive and keep a whole group of people from becoming what this country gives them the opportunities to become.
The fact that you chose to move out of this city is pretty telling. I'm right behind you. Well, if Rahm screws us out of our pensions, I'll be even quicker to leave, but that's a topic for another post. I'm just glad to hear from another good guy out there. Especially one who won't paint the police with that same broad brush Toni claims we do with people because of race.

Thanks for your comment sir, there are too few of men like you and even fewer heard from.
Surely Toni and Barack have rubbed many the wrong way with their pronouncements. But it does open a hell of a dialogue. Math is not my stongest suite but if the community
is mostly one race then the arrestee's will be of that race. Throw in a lack of self control, a disdain for education and a failure
to get married and this merry go round will never stop. It's on view right next door to me. Stable grandparents (he works and is a lay minister) and then two generations of complete losers. NONE of the off spring work or go to school. It's frustrating and just plain sad observing this lifestyle day in and out.

Look in the mirror Toni. Like it or not Politicians are holding minorities DOWN. Cutting Planned Parenthood are you? That ought to keep another generation or so on the welfare roles, encourage hispanics to speak a foreign language? Why don't you tell them the truth for a change? Until they speak english, they will be treated like second-class citizens. You cannot create a law that will change that. Pols like minorities weak, they're easier to control.

While we're on the subject, where the hell is that multi-million dollar piece of sculpture belonging to Chicago State University that that south-side alderthief swiped off campus to decorate her office. In reality she committed a federal crime because entered upon federally supported property to remove that super expensive piece of art in the pitch-fucking dark. I ask because I happened to notice that the school is getting a lot of heat in the press over bullshit all of a sudden. I smell an alderbitch. Isn't Blago under inditement right now for the same kind of BS? Dragging an innocent school into his bullshit? Leave those kids and teachers alone. Toni, do your job and look into THIS kind of shit. Newspaer people do YOUR fucking jobs too so we, the police, don't have to do both of ours. If you leave your lips on Daleys ass ALL DAY they'll freeze in that position.
