Another Shooting?
Chicago police shot and killed an alleged robber Wednesday night in the city's South Shore neighborhood, authorities said. The shooting occurred just before 8 p.m. on the 7000 block of South Cregier Avenue, police said.
Preliminary reports stated a robbery-in-progress was reported and two sergeants responded to the scene and were flagged down by a witness who told them two suspects had just committed a robbery on the street, police said. The sergeants saw two suspects matching the description and approached ordering them to stop, police said.
One of the suspects turned and pointed a weapon at a sergeant who fired his weapon, striking the suspect, police said. The suspect was taken into custody and transported to Northwestern Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced dead, police said. The second suspect was taken into custody by the other sergeant on the scene, police said.

Great - that means that we found a replacement for that Streets and Sans guy right?
Give him his keys -- a bottle of mad dog and get out of the way..
Great Sgt. !!! Glad you guys are safe!
P.M
nice job white shirts. good to see no good guys got hurt. stay safe out there and shoot before they get the drop on you.
Sounds a hell of a lot like the robbery of Peppers a few weeks back. As always, thanks guys.
Great! Fuck him, he got what was deserved.
Nicely done sgt. Next time use your lethal hands so you don't waste a bullet.
Great job. Enjoy your 3 days off sarge! Don't lose any sleep over the dead mope.
Both sergents did a great job responding and I'm glad they are ok. I worked for the sgt that shot the offender and I can tell you he da "POE-LICE" and he alwayas took care of officers and I'm sure he still does. Hopefully this will be his ticket out of that shithole.

011th District Commander spoke to the afternoon rollcall today about a meeting he attended which was led by the new Superintendent. The short and veiny was that there were concerns raised during the meeting that the pos detailed to 011 from TRU and MSF be accepted as "members of the 011th District family." Personally, I believe this is a non-issue, and I think most of the pos in 011 feel the same way. The Commander stated the same.
Them came the kicker. Apparently the new Superintendent wants to promote and assign pos to units based on a "meritocracy." The Supe stated, "A guy goes out and works hard. He is eventually assigned to a spot in narcotics or gang intelligence, where there are definitely more perks than patrol. Another guy works hard, but does not want to go to a unit and stays in patrol. What makes the guy in the unit better than the guy in patrol?" According to the Commander the Supe wants to change the department into more of a "meritocracy" where hard work is rewarded.
WTF??!! This guy does not have a clue what the City of Chicago is all about! Clout is the same as merit in this city! Clout counts, and hard work is irrelevant! If you throw more merit into the works of this department, the regular hardworking po doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell! Clout is one of the biggest demoralizing issues this department faces, and the new Supe wants to expand on that?!
Now let's listen to all the heavy guys with a phonecall defend how everything's legit.
We had the same exact trouble in Philly in the 70's before the age of internet or cell phones for them to coordinate.
The way we broke it up was to have a fast response team of 6 plainclothesman. Uniforms would surveil the mobs- who usually congregated at the bus stop nearest to the store they intended to loot- so you always knew to position a cruiser near the bus stops anyway since thats where most of the trouble was. If the uniforms wittnessed a mob form and move as a group, they would radio the mobs 20 to the response team and what direction they were heading... The UC's in plainclothes would make their way into the store either right after the mob had entered, or in some cases, they actually got there ahead of them.
When the turds gave the go signal to start grabbing stuff, there were 6 men right there amongst them with what in those days were old fashioned spring blackjacks and full sized straight handled batons concealed under a suit coat and ran down the trouser leg. This was before the breakdown asp batons they have now.
About 90% of the time they got dispatched to spots that didn't pan out, but the other 10% when they got 'em cold wound up putting an end to mob looting the stores.
OT.
So so so glad to be out of MSF! You would not believe how many people were looking to jump ship. The rest are just afraid or think they're too good for a beat car. This disbanding is a breath of fresh air. Just too bad the bids didn't come first!
The amount of self promoting, back stabbing rats here is nauseating! That weasel Lt PK only cares about his own self interest and straight up lies to a whole roll call. Just glad this nightmare is over.
Dear SCC,
I am a wife of a police officer. I read your blog because I support all that you do and respect the risks you take every day at work to protect our families and neighborhoods.
You should be concerned about SB 0512, a bill that is currently being heard in the Illinois House Personnel and Pension Committee. This bill is designed to change the structure for funding pensions by reducing the retirement benefits for current and retired teachers and other public servants in Illinois. The media and public have been misinformed about the financial status of the Teacher Retirement System (TRS) by interest groups who seek to reduce or eliminate state and municipal contributions to employee retirement benefits that public workers were promised when they started their employment.
You can find out more information about the financial health of TRS in their reply to a recent Chicago Tribune article that misinformed the public about TRS’s ability to pay current retirees:
http://trs.illinois.gov/subsections/press/TRSIssuesUpdate.htm#tribune
All of you who are public employees need to be concerned about this bill because, per your agreement upon employment, you were promised to receive pension benefits when you retire. Although SB 0512 calls for changes to the current benefit structure for teachers and some other public employees, there will be implications for all public employee pension plans if this bill becomes law. Even though Chicago employees have a pension system that is separate from that of the state, those interest groups that want to diminish the pension benefits for Chicago employees may look to the state’s action against state pension systems and may use any precedent set forth by the state to make the same or worse changes to benefit plans for city public workers.
If you care about preserving your pension benefits promised as a condition for taking on this dangerous job for mediocre pay, please call and write to your local state senator and representative today, telling them to vote NO on SB 0512 and on any other bill that seeks to reduce retiree benefits for any public worker in our state. 80% of state workers are ineligible for Social Security benefits. As Chicago Police Officers, you are part of that 80%, and your pension is your only reliable source of income when you retire.
If this bill passes, the public will not benefit because it will not translate into any direct tax relief. What it will do is give state lawmakers permission to continue to not fulfill their obligation to fully fund public pension systems. You have never missed a payment towards your pension plan. Neither have teachers. All public employees must stand together and stop this imminent assault on benefits earned through decades of hard work and public service. This bill can pass out of committee at any moment, so call your senator and representative immediately! You can contact your local state representative or senator through the We Are One Illinois website: http://www.weareoneillinois.org/
PS: Speaker Madigan and this bill’s sponsor are pushing to have this bill pass through committee tomorrow and have the General Assembly vote on this as early as Friday, so call your senator and representative now!
Also one in 011 involving MSF that stemmed from a armed robbery in 016, including a car chase and some injured officers... great job to all involved and a speedy recovery to the injured officers..
Now those are two supervisors you wouldn't mind working for. They are of the type who deserve a nice lateral or upwards promotion. Well done sergeants.
clean up those dogs that abuse the medical.

Great Job!
I worked with on of these SGT's back in the old Deuce, when we rock and rolled all day long. Glad to see that the skills learned in the Deuce still carried over today. The Deuce and the Third Herd, back in the day, well those were some good times - Patti

Amen to that Patti! I used my former third herd skills when I first went to seven and became an englewood ranger. Now in my time in eight as a west lawn operator, these same great skills first learned in the third herd are on display everyday. Great skills to have learned. We do not need no stinking WTA - we just need more third herders leading the way! Mandy, 008
Nice shot Sarge!
Good job, grateful you both are okay!
Nice story on Ch. 5 last night about how the mounted patrol names it's horses after fallen officers. One question: why are all but one given the last name of the deceased officer? "Mikey C" is named after Mike Ceriale. Nice touch. Just wondering.
http://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/Chicagos-Mounted-Patrol-Honors-Fallen-Officers-122621804.html
The thing that gets me about this Headline is 2 Sgts. I realize that Sgts are the Police, but 2 Sgts on an In Progress call w/a/weapon involved.....Was a Bt. Car assigned, or were they all tied up and the zone had to send 2 Sgts to this call because they were the only cars available? It only goes to show how short handed we are. Nice job to both Sgts.
Great SGT and great guy! Good on SGT.
The new Sup needs a nickname. Since he came from Jersey shore why don't we just call him "G-WOW"?
when the new Boss dumps all exempts with more than 1 merit promotion then we can believe he means business
Illinois city among nation’s most dangerous
Douglas A. McIntyre, Michael B. Sauter and Charles B. Stockdale
Earlier this week, the FBI trumpeted the news that violent crime dropped 5.5% in 2010 while reported property crimes fell 2.8% during the depths of the worst economic slowdown since the Great Depression. The news, though, is far from positive.
> Follow Yahoo Finance and Yahoo Chicago on Twitter.
Though most regions of the U.S. saw declines, the Northeast saw an increase in murders (8.3%), forcible rapes (1.4%) and aggravated assaults (0.7%). Why that region was affected by crime more than others isn't clear. Perhaps it was because of the grinding poverty found in some of the area's cities and their high cost of living.
Of the top 10, four are in the midwest, including Rockford. Here's a quick glance at Rockford's stats:
9. Rockford, Ill.
Population: 156,180
Violent Crime Per 1,000: 14.52010
Murders: 20
Median Income: $36,990 (26% below national average)
Unemployment Rate: 13.3% (4.3% above national average)
Rockford has unusually high violent crime rates for a city of its size. Most notably, the city has the fourth highest rate of aggravated assault in the country, with 10.5 cases for every 1,000 citizens in 2010. During the same period, 20 murders occurred, almost double the number in 2000.
Quoted by the Rockford Register Star in 2007, Winnebago County Sheriff Dick Meyers said that he believed the city's "location worked against [it,]" as Rockford receives traffic from the drug markets in Madison, Chicago, and Milwaukee, resulting in heightened rates of violence.

Yeak ok thats why YOU stayed there then to right? Handjob!!

When the turds gave the go signal to start grabbing stuff, there were 6 men right there amongst them with what in those days were old fashioned spring blackjacks and full sized straight handled batons concealed under a suit coat and ran down the trouser leg. This was before the breakdown asp batons they have now.
And when it's over IPRA will have the store owners hand over the video tapes and we can all be in court together!!
Excellent alertness, excellent response, superb marksmanship.
Try to remember, all the bad guy had to do was comply w/ your commands, HE chose his destiny & tried to take you away from YOUR family.
My prayers tonight for your continued safety & peace of mind.

Off topic. Scc, can you make a thread about a new way of suing the police.
Ive seen that more and more inmates in the county are filing federal lawsuits against officers before the criminal case is either done. There are no lawyers associated with the cases. All of the cases are fill in the blank and handwritten narratives written by the inmate who appears to be representing themselves. My question is, why all of a sudden in the past three weeks are all of these lawsuits popping up. I have seen about 5 or 6 a week being filed by inmates in county. Who in county is advising the inmates to file these? Who is helping them out file these? You can tell somebody is coaching them along with filing the lawsuits because of some of the legal terminology that is used. Im curious who is behind this?... Anyone in county or legal affairs have any info is these suits are legit and who is helping out... I would say in the past three weeks between 15-25 federal lawsuits against cpd and cook county D.O.C have been handwritten by county inmates... Im sure some slick civil lawyers are behind this and are trying to work some type of future angle on it.
And the headline from the Trib - -

Good job sergeants and glad no officer or actual citizen got hurt!! That saved alot of future crimes and court costs.

The concluding paragraph provides a spectacular insight into the flow of power and influence in Chicago.
"Daley will join a long list of his former aides who’ve found work at the university or its hospitals, including: former Corporation Counsel Susan Sher; former chief-of-staff John Satalic; former Budget Director Diane Aigotti; former First Deputy Housing Commissioner Ellen Sahli; former First Deputy Corporation Counsel Ben Gibson; former press secretary Avis LaVelle; former Planning Commissioner Arnold Randall and former mayoral aide-turned-First Lady Michelle Obama."

The 001-025 three-digit numbering means that we can have up to 999 police districts in the city before the computers melt.

I also suspect that he and the mayor will push for future lieutenants to be exempts. They want more power to control and demote.

"Tolva is counting on his chief data officer, Brett Goldstein, to expand upon Goldstein’s work developing a Chicago Police Department program that aims to predict when and where crime will happen. “We want to apply analytics to sets of data to identify patterns,” Tolva said. That could mean comparing a neighborhood’s 911 and 311 calls, or analyzing overlapping data from the Department of Transportation and Streets and Sanitation Department to figure out how to better deliver city services."

Clout is one of the biggest demoralizing issues this department faces, and the new Supe wants to expand on that?!
Sounds like he wants hard workers to be rewarded for their efforts, instead of clout babies with phone calls.. Maybe this is change we have been looking for!

Seriously, how do you define a 'hard worker' on this job? If the measure is the number of arrests, then you encourage people to make arrests that could have been handled otherwise. Meritorious means numbers. Numbers don't always reflect the competency of an officer.
I don't have any answers. I just know numbers should not be a measure of performance.
As has been shown, MSF/TRU had low quality arrests with numerous officers on the paper. Is that a valid measure of performance? I don't think so.

"Mom of teen slain by cops: 'No reason to kill a child"

Now THAT is sad. Should one of the sgt.'s have taken a bullet and possibly be dead? No 15 year-old carrying a gun is a 'child'. You can't dispute evidence. How many baby daddies for the 5 kids? Just askin'. Ghetto entitlement mentality. Now pay me 2M because you shot my baby who I don't even know who the daddy is, because I was too busy doing crack myself, to raise him properly. 2 more yrs, I'm getting out of this shithole.
I would much rather spend the rest of my days planting my head underground oblivious to what is going on in the world than have to witness this shit everyday.
Idaho sounds like a perfect destination.
Sorry, OT:
I just have to say that with all the bu11sh!t you guys have to put up with I'm glad to hear that many can have a sense of humor. I do have a scanner and listen to what is going on in my 'hood. I have many good laughs from the banter back and forth between officers and squad. Thanks!
Stay safe!

bye bye pension, pension reform is here said...
Well, it got passed today... Say goodbye to our pension. Say hello to 15 percent to pay into our pension if we want to keep it... then our payments will go up every three years. If we dont want to pay into the pension and keep our current system we will have a choice of two different pension alternatives, one of them being a 401k type plan... read the story below. glad we have shields all over this one... Hey mike, were you down in springfield today for the vote??? no, didnt think so.. its no longer talk or argument boys and girls, the pension reform is now here and now approved.. say goodbye to our money.

You see this is why YOU NEED MSF. We are the Spear and TRU the shield. Let MSF attack and TRU defend. MSF is like a big SWAT team, highly trained P.O.'S willing to fight te dragon.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PLEASE tell me this is sarcasm
No this is not, deal with it.
Both sergents did a great job responding and I'm glad they are ok. I worked for the sgt that shot the offender and I can tell you he da "POE-LICE" and he alwayas took care of officers and I'm sure he still does. Hopefully this will be his ticket out of that shithole.
5/26/2011 01:11:00 AM
I worked for him too and he takes care of his of officers. He is da real po-leece! I would hate to see him go, if this is his ticket out....he's one of the best Sgts there. Glad you're ok Sarge. Enjoy your days off!!
The thing that gets me about this Headline is 2 Sgts. I realize that Sgts are the Police, but 2 Sgts on an In Progress call w/a/weapon involved.....Was a Bt. Car assigned, or were they all tied up and the zone had to send 2 Sgts to this call because they were the only cars available? It only goes to show how short handed we are. Nice job to both Sgts.
5/26/2011 09:26:00 AM
Bt cars are always assigned. Plus it doesn't matter, both of these sergeants go on jobs and will be right there with their officers.... short-handed or not. That's just their character.
sure hope the offender wasn't a chicago public school honor student
5/26/2011 11:01:00 AM
Who gives a fuck! You don't point a pistol at the police!
So so so glad to be out of MSF! You would not believe how many people were looking to jump ship. The rest are just afraid or think they're too good for a beat car. This disbanding is a breath of fresh air. Just too bad the bids didn't come first!
The amount of self promoting, back stabbing rats here is nauseating! That weasel Lt PK only cares about his own self interest and straight up lies to a whole roll call. Just glad this nightmare is over.
5/26/2011 01:34:00 AM
STFU...
If you wanted out, you would have put in a TO FROM or a PAR to get the fuck out.
Save your bullshit lie for some chick at the end of the bar, we dont believe it.
5/26/2011 07:55:00 PM
Why don't you STFU! And blow me while you're at it too!
Bidding out isn't as easy as you make it, hell I bet you have been in the same spot you were assigned too out of the academy. Unlike you some people have lives outside of this department. That being kids, a wife, side job and so on. So bidding somwhere that might be even more out of my way just doesnt seem logical.
Dealing with 3 different Lt's that run their companies 3 different ways is aggitating as all hell. Then again you wouldn't know since you probably couldn't get into a unit with absolutely no standards
Leo met with the Sup today.... Wonder how that went??? IS there still a GEU??
Good job Shortround,glad both of you are ok.He is still one of the working Police even after being dumped from Tact...Former 362member.
its no longer talk or argument boys and girls, the pension reform is now here and now approved.. say goodbye to our money.

Or, YOU could learn to THINK. Are you that clueless, to think we aren't next?
12 DISTRICT
ALL STAR REPORT
011 DISTRICT HAD A HORRENDOUS POLICE SHOOTING LAST NIGHT USING CLOSE TO 100 OFFICERS AND GUESS WHAT HAPPENS.
SOME PISS ANT 12 DISTRICT DWEEB CALLS FOR A UNIT FROM 011 TO DO AN ACCIDENT REPORT ON WESTERN BECAUSE IT WAS ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE STREET.
SO IN PASSING CAN THE SGT'S IN 012 START TO USE THEIR BRAINS AND NOT WORRY ABOUT WHAT'S AT POMPEIS WHEN IT CLOSES.
Sorry ghetto warrior, as you should know, we share a zone with 009 not 011 so we have no idea what you hard chargers are up to unless we are told on our zone, sorry!!! Also, save the wrong side of the street garbage, if it's on your side you get notified, it happens everywhere, get over it...
Seriously, how do you define a 'hard worker' on this job? If the measure is the number of arrests, then you encourage people to make arrests that could have been handled otherwise. Meritorious means numbers. Numbers don't always reflect the competency of an officer.

Everone knows who the hard workers are on their respective watches and who deserves to be thrown a bone..
As far as the quality of arrests in MSF/TRU you try to come in with a great felony every night when they put you in an area 5 blocks by 5 blocks that is saturated with marked cars from their unit, beat cars, tac cars, coverts etc..
New coffee club in full effect!
Just kidding...nice work SGT's.

Oh, no, Goldstein gets a raise -- for predicting the three blown high-pressure tires, fifteen cases of Corona empties, three 12 dozen "family pack"-count tortilla boxes, 85 dirty diapers, 47 broken toys, three five-pack cell phone boxes, 23 assorted ladies' shoes, and one car battery (on its side leaking) that will be thrown out at 10:15 PM behind a certain house.
Conclusion -- The regular garbage pickup will be needed the next morning!
Ka-ching!
