Hot Monday Coming
- The City of Chicago is warning residents of warmer temperatures expected to move into the area for Memorial Day weekend — including 90 degree temperatures Monday.
The National Weather Service is predicting a high of 71 degrees with a 40 percent chance of showers Saturday. By Sunday, temperatures will climb to 79 degrees with a 40 percent chance of thunderstorms. On Memorial Day, the weather service is expecting a sunny 91-degree day.
The heat index is expected to reach between 90 and 100 degrees Monday, according to a release from the city’s Office of Emergency Management and Communication.
Instead of gale warnings, the gunfire flag is flying today. Watch yourselves and watch your partners.

After a hot, humid day of knocking down 40 ouncers and domesticating with the family and neighbors, the bullets will start flyin'. I'm figuring at least a dozen or so shot.
90F so that means wildhog will be out of control,be safe.
Chalkie is ready for another "Killer Holiday" !!!!
Crystal Ball Unit , what say you ?????
Remember all those that gave their lives for our freedom !!
Going to be humid and miserable today. People will be cranky. Watch your back.
Lots of fireworks today, too, but don't make my rookie mistake and think every 'crack' is a firecracker. Those five rapid-fire pops were from an automatic. Never made that mistake again.
Hold on to your hats ladies and gents, and most impotantly, lets be safe out there and back each other up.
To all my fellow TRU and MSF warriors:
Just finished my first tour in 003.
District sucks, coppers are okay.
Only salvation is 003 has the two best captains working the south side.
Capt Johnson fair and kind of by the book.
Capt Carroll without even knowing us treated us like we worked for him forever!!!!!
Both come off knowledgeable and can tell that both worked the street.
At least we have that going for us over here!
Started in the district yesterday after a few years in tru. Observed no difference in performance from district or former unit people. Both pretty much the same. I do have enough time to get days in my new home once the bid is open so I will see more of my family after the summer. I also have enough time here for a summer furlough pick, things could be worse.
Its funna be crazy heard 002 got 4 shot. I thought that place slowed down. No wonder they had 14 openings.
OT, Its funny the hate and jealousy, on this blog sometimes. The new guy's hate the old guy's, units hate the districts etc. Here is the deal we all change on this job, our priorities our methods our energy. How about the old guy's help out the young guy's not belittle them. How about the young guys understanding that after a few years on the job the old guys are hopefully a little wiser and probably a little slower than you. Look lifes too short and there is enough stress without adding more bullshit. The only time we seem to look out for each other is unfortunatley if one of us gets killed.
Remember to hate on the Daleys.
Never forget!
Burn baby burn.....
The 'heat is on'... Stay Safe!
Oh boo-hoo to all the guys that got disbanded already. Life goes on deal with it. Some of you guys act like this is the first time this has ever happened.. Get over it already. All of the districts you guys went to are probably 1/4 filled with people that have been dumped from units so nobody really gives a fuck about your story.. Do your job and be the police..
the storm chased all the goofs inside yesterday but as the night wore on they started to come out again--- today will be the beginning of what chicago is really about--- a huge subculture of gang banging thugs out shooting at each other and selling dope--- all of us who have served or have family members or friends who have served know what the true meaning of today's holiday is--- too bad that it will be tainted by all the bad citizens and americans the city of chicago has become a home for....
Capt. Carroll is a prince. I've known him for decades. But if you went to 9 you might have to work for capt. Bumper, the idiot.
I hesitate to say too much, since this predictive analysis stuff is a complete load of crap AND there no word as yet if we're going to continue to exist without clout boy Goldstein or if anyone else will collect his Commanders pay in his absence.
Suffice to say that although I haven't actually put it on paper, I HAVE predicted every homicide this year. I'm pretty amazing that way...
So, let me enter the data into the hopper:
1 - VERY HOT today;
2 - many 40 ounce cervezas consumed;
3 - Crown Royal cocktails chugged like theres no tomorrow;
4 - many fights over who is eating whose pork chops;
5 - TOO many loud boom boxes and car stereos;
It all adds up to a recipe for disaster! Remember, you heard it here first (and if not, it wasn't OFFICIAL!).
Stay safe brothers.

Well said, I couldn't have expressed it better. Stop the petty anomosity and hopefully we all can make this a better work enviornment, this is my thrid decade on the job, and I can tell you when it comes to the streets we only have each other to count on.
Don't call my Ho a Bitch!
Blam...Blam...Blam...
OT: One down.

I wish more people shared your thinking.....but hey what do I know, I dont have 15 years on the job, but what I do know for sure is we have to stick together out there and stand up for one another.
all will be quiet monday and monday night, we will be overwhelmed with bs calls but not too many shootings, maybe 1 or 2 dead citywide.
Hot coals, hot wings, warm malt liquor ...the perfect storm.

You couldn't ask for a fairer boss than Capt. Kenny Johnson. I worked with Kenny J back in our old 004 tact days. He was a good cop. You never had to worry about his work ethic, he was solid, dependable. I can't imagine for the life of me why he's still working, when he could have a very nice retirement right now (he's maxed out on everything), but I imagine my old friend is going to cash in his chips in the very near future.
To the new "Fireworks guy" from Tru that now works in 003:
Don't scream in the radio that you are hearing shots, It gives the impression that you or other Officers are in serious trouble. Know your location. When other units behind you clearly saw that fireworks were causing the noise, don't argue on the radio about it when you are wrong. If you don't know the meaning or usage of the phrase "loud reports" and what they refer to, take a veteran to the side and ask them. It's going to be a long hot summer.
002 mids is busier than 3rd watch when I was in tru. Only down fall from what I have seen is that they have horrible sgts. My perspective not ever having to work for those guys.
"Its funna be crazy heard 002 got 4 shot. I thought that place slowed down. No wonder they had 14 openings."
You heard wrong. Just because 002 lost the projects doesn't mean it still isn't busy. Only 4 homicides this year, but at least 30 agg batts with firearm this year already. And there were only 7 openings, 14 got posted but that was an error that went "unnoticed."
ohhh I HEAR GUNSHOT SHOT!
I GUESS IF U GREW UP IN BEVERLY OR BY THE LOVELY OHARE AIRPORT THIS MAY AMAZE U.
U COULD ALSO FEEL FEAR THINKING THE NATIVES WILL CAPTURE U.
GROWING UP IN THE INNER CITY I HATE TO TELL U THIS BUT WHAT U SEE NOW IS CHILDS PLAY.
SO QUIT PATTING UR SELF ON THE BACK THE PROJECTS ARE GONE.
KEEP DOING UR RECKLESS CONDUCT ARREST TO UR MISDEMEANOR COURT KEY AND WATCHING THE CASES GET THROWN OUT.
WELCOME BACK TO THE DISTRICTS AND HOPEFULLY U WONT BURN UP THE RESTAURANTS THAT GIVE US A PLAY.
I Would like to congratulate Mike Shields, Mark Donahue and the FOP lobbyist (all three of whom we pay) for not only getting none of our bills in Springfield passed but managing to not even get one of them out of committee. WAY TO GO GUYS! AFSME got what they wanted - maybe they should represent us.

I... hate that...
The best is cars going over the metal plates in the street and people yelling, "shots fired" over the air...

Very nicely put. Hopefully everyone who reads your post will put it to good use.
Although I'm a detective, I still think of myself as blue. I miss the good times that I had in patrol. If you know how to work it, there's not a better time on earth.
theres one po who would love to be out thereon patrol. but for jfed hes inside looking out. a fellow officer ,who was just doing his job. ask him how he would liketo be on the street.
Beaches from Fullerton to Ohio on the lakefront were shut down due to several fights. Around 1500 hrs Metra came over the zone to let us know that about 2,000 male and female blacks just got off the south shore line, 2.5 hours later they caused enough damage to close the beaches and put an EMS plan 1 in effect.
And no Richie, these were NOT suburb kids that texted each other to meet at the beach.
Does chalkie ever take a furlough?
Not even time due?
Is it true chalkie & Darwin are partners?
So 90% of the blue shirts and Sgt.s in MSF & TRU got boned, now the rest of us are livin the high life. Oh wait nothing has changed, except more people are miserable and no matter what I do I'm not going anywhere.

Cool for you, but I (original poster) have no idea what you're talking about. Haven't seen the movie and don't care to.
In 1983, I was standing outside a project building alone, talking to a hand waver. A woman came running out of the building right after I 'thought' I heard fireworks. She was yelling, "He got a gun." Well, he sure as hell did. And I learned pretty quick the difference between the hollow sound of fireworks and the fuller sound of gunshots.

You definitely have an inferiority complex in relation to MSF/TRU officers and all "units."
I'm guessing you have tried several times, though you will deny it, to get a unit spot only to be turned down.
Stop with the hating and do YOUR job.
Too many coppers worry about what everyone else is doing. I have news for you, PO's do not create or establish "units," they work in them. Chances are offered any coppers take them.
You are the one that needs to get over it. I have read very little in the way of bitching and moaning from the officers detailed out of those units.
And God said go forth and multiply.

The 14 openings was a mistake/typo but it was too late to take it back after the bids were over. The openings were supposed to be for 007.
