More "Wilding" Coverage
At a mall outside Milwaukee, parents must escort their teens on weekends because of rampant shoplifting there.
In St. Louis, Las Vegas and Philadelphia, text-messaging “flash mobs” of youths have swooped into stores, stealing merchandise and running away.
And here in Chicago, shoplifting arrests of juveniles have jumped in the police district that includes the Magnificent Mile — even though retail-theft arrests as a whole have fallen slightly.
Chicago’s juvenile theft problem gained a high profile earlier this year when stores on North Michigan Avenue were repeatedly targeted by large groups of young shoplifters.
Random shoplifting? No mention yet of the unprovoked beatings and strong armed robberies that are becoming endemic to the downtown area. We figure in another year or two, they might mention that a battery occurred at some point.

So... Are we talkin' Jewish kids from the Northshore?
Look up Police reports in the 1st and 18th District for Strong arm Robbery.In 2011 it will set a new record.
yeah but shoplifting is not a crime is it?
we need to stop using that word. let's call it an undocumented purchase instead and just look the other way like we do on other so-called laws.
Take it easy, SCC. You have to ease the public into this kind of reality. You can't go around saying that black youths are doing something wrong in a sanctuary city that caters to the underprivileged.
My God, if the brutal police were to take action, someone should sue them for not allowing these young artists to express themselves.
Bring 'em on in!! Cannonball express.

The x-ray photo says it all: more than 500 migrants packed into trucks like sardines, as many as 4 people per 1 square meter, some crouching, others standing and holding onto ropes from the truck's rooftop. The reality of human smuggling brutally exposed in the migrant's subhuman travelling conditions.
The 513 migrants, many suffering from dehydration from the perilous journey from Guatemala, were intercepted in two trailer trucks at a checkpoint in Mexico's southern Chiapas state where the x-ray was taken.

Now imagine the damage that can be done if it's 500 terrorist that get though that are only trying to make a better life for themselves!
wake me when it's time to make the donuts.

Of course not, shoplifting doesn't impact the tourists or yuppies that shouldn't know about this sort of stuff.
Nevermind that the retailers have to raise their prices to make up for these thefts. Run to the El, and you'll have plenty of time to cut the sensor tags off your stolen merchandise on your way home to the south side.

Stupid question here, but...
What about that crystal ball unit thing-a-ma-jig with all the computer wizardry allegedly at their fingertips? If these kids are using the computers as a means of communication to commit these crimes, then wouldn't that predictive analysis dealy-do that's always talked about be able to "predict" where the crimes are going to occur and prevent them?
Get rid of both them useless units. Send them back to patrol. and for the people bitching about getting put back on midnights, get some time on the job and then bitch we all been there. This job is full of nothing but whiners. No wonder why this city is going to shit. God Im glad Im out of this shit hole soon.

Not too many people will be sad to see you go trust me. I'm guessing your usual tour of duty consists of zero proactive police work. You probably tell some PPO how they should conduct a street stop, but haven't done one yourself in 10 years. I'm guessing you stay down on the most asinine jobs for a minimum of 45 minutes. (Don't want to be bothered getting ANOTHER job), I mean you have handled two so far today and anyways who cares about that car that is getting assigned all these jobs on my beat, better them than me. Don't forget your 45 minute trip to the fueling location (even though there's one in your district.) And last but not least don't forget to hold off on those personals and lunch until they bang you on the radio "squad I was just going to ask for ..." Hell you may even brag to your friends how you work in Englewood, even though your handcuffs haven't been out of their case in five years. But you are right, you are definitely not the problem with patrol. Its these hairgels making stops and these units stopping people and putting the cuffs on bad guys. Enjoy your retirement sir, and don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. I'm pretty sure we can cover your workload.
Was in juvenile court the other day and saw 5 juveniles all with multiple referrals for wilding crimes over numerous dates have ALL their cases dropped by the ASA. He mumbled something about they were not good cases and they would not be able to prove them.
I'd strongly urge your department to confer with our west suburban WAUWATOSA P.D.
Mayfair Mall is located in 'tosa.
Wow. Channel 5, 6 a.m. news did a story on it, said police believe it's a form of 'thrill seeking', and a 'trend'. Is that what you call animals going wild in this P/C new world?
What about the people who got thrown into the lake after being attacked?
Oh boo hoo for Michigan Ave.!
Also are these mobs of teens white, black or hispanic? Inquiring minds want to know or is that a topic nobody wants to touch. I bet if they were white and from the North Shore it would be mentioned in the article. But hey it's the Chicago way.
Note that the MSM obsession with "political correctness" prohibits them from reporting that ALL of the roving bands of plundering youth that "flash mob" the Magnificent Mile are wearing Amish attire. Add to the fact that there have been related violent incidents than merely swarming upscale stores.
With those balmy summer evenings on the horizon at North Avenue Beach, the violence will become manifest. The media will lose all credibility if they ignore the obvious. Let's hope your new police chief will be proactive and prepared for the inevitable mayhem.
Going on in 022 as well for the past 3 weeks.
What can we do about our Scandanavian youth?
... This job is full of nothing but whiners. ... God Im glad Im out of this shit hole soon.
5/18/2011 11:23:00 PM
You sound like one of the BIGGEST whiners around and one of the least deserving or qualified to judge others on their police activity. Just remember, If you are not part of the solution, You are part of the problem.
OFF TOPIC........If they mess with our pension then we seriously need to think about going on strike. yeah yeah I know it states in our contract that we cant strike, but we were also promised a pension upon retirement too........
STRIKE STRIKE STRIKE
DID RAHM HAVE HIS HOLLYWOOD CONTACTS CANCEL THE "CHICAGO CODE?"
The story lines were silly, the Chicago addresses were fictitious, the cliches were rampant, but there were lots of embarrassing "Chicago" moments brought to light: politics, merit promotions, nonsense statistics that say crime was down and a sly story line regarding an "anonymous" exposing police secrets (SCC retooled in a radio show?).
All pretty funny if you watched the show regularly. No so funny if you were the one getting outed.
The show was fun to watch if you suspended reality. No cop show is real, but it was fun to see Chicago on the tube and fun to look for familiar faces in the background.
So, did Rahm get the show cancelled? Look for all involved to get rewarded with other shows or projects.
WGN reported it on their morning news today as "Mag Mile" shoplifting. That's like saying gacy was a bad neighbor.
It's dem Irish kids just havin' some fun ! Mamma will come by later to pay with one of her many LINK cards.

I predict that these crimes will occur primarily in 001 and 018.
There! Ya happy now?
And these "kids" aren't using computers as a means of communication to commit these crimes, they're using cell phones!
And predictive analysis is NOT "dealy-do" to be able to predict crimes.
It's a bullshit way for ME to get a gold braid pension, so ixnay on the negative chatter, okay? Let me know when YOU find a way to snowjob these idiot bosses and I'll back you 100% as well... Thanks for your support!

I'm just going to go out on a limb here and divulge that all the teens in these "wilding" incidents are black.
And of course there has been no public statements of condemnation by the various Reverends, Jackson, Pfleger, Meeks etc.
They say nothing when blacks are the lawbreakers, because it isn't their fault. It is the fault of the white devils who make all that nice expensive merchandise out of the reach of the average street thug so they have to go wilding and thugging and stealing. How else they gonna get the stuff they want?

The geniuses in charge here will ignore anything not invented here.
How would they take credit if some police chief of Whatthehelltosa, Wisconsin was telling the great and powerful Oz here how to handle something?
No clout police officers here have been trying to sound the alarm about this for at least two years, all ignored.
Let the great and powerful leaders here figure it out for themselves and they will act like they just found out about it yesterday.
The only MSM reports on this I've seen was the arrest of 1 white dude who was caught shoplifting in the same store two days in a row.
What a joke! No mention of the other crimes committed by the entitled.
Angarone said parents need to watch for their kids coming home with clothes or other merchandise they cannot afford. Parents also need to monitor their kids’ social-networking activities, he said.
===================================
I don't know this guy personally but it looks like another exempt making a stupid comment. The parents of most of the kids doing this could care less about these kids activities of any kind. Also I have worked in the ghetto for years and walk into house all the time where there is merchadise that can't be afforded by anyone that lives there, but they keep it anyways.
I can see it now, a beat car getting the call. "621 can you stop by 79@# carpenter, the caller has a 60" flat screen the son brought home that they can't afford and wants it returned along with 2 laptops too."
Move along, nothing to see here.
It's a redistribution of wealth. Sanctioned at the highest level.
Its these hairgels making stops and these units stopping people and putting the cuffs on bad guys. Enjoy your retirement sir, and don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. I'm pretty sure we can cover your workload.
WOW. I remember coming on the job respecting the old time coppers asking their advice and steering me in the right direction to make it 20 years to get a pension, times have changed..hey kid, its not a race...but I wish you luck and keep up the great job..and paying into my pension.
LIFM..

Have your uniforms been washed yet?
In the last mayoral election, the candidates where as follows: 1 self proclaimed communist (drug free), and 4 openly socialist. You will not get your city back at the ballot box. Cartridge box anyone?
How pseudo-legal would it be if I carried a Glock 26 in a man purse at Condition Three: Chamber empty, full magazine in place, hammer down?
-Obviously, not a cop
Back in the sixties, taking stuff from stores without paying was called "liberating." Not sure what the euphemism was for mobs. Maybe a "happening"? But if anyone gets hurt, it was either the p**s' [sorry, it's what they used to say] or they must have deserved it by being bourgeois.
--Civilian, still waiting to see any of this on Chicago Breaking News
A lot more "kickin' ass and takin' names" is needed by the CPD, and screw the lawyers. If these little asshole's parents didn't teach them how to conduct themselves in public, maybe the Police can.And maybe, just maybe, Mayor Rahm will tell the lawyers to back off and let the CPD get these little darlings under control. Maybe.
The REAL question.... was it an OUTSIDE shoplifting, or an INSIDE shoplifting?
The incident at the Mayfair Mall was convered in Milwaukee news on and off for a few weeks. The initial week was all about what occured. It was driven by Facebook. There was plenty of video of the mall with the damage. And interviews with the shoppers who were in the middle of the melee.
It was followed up with the changes that the Mall management was implementing in order to keep it from happening again. The videos were always used to show the damage in the store to reinforce that the kids were not playing around. It also helped that there had been an unrelated shooting outside the Mall at the same time.
To who was asking about race. They are black, and take the red line in from the south side and get off at chicago ave.
SCC
how do I email you something
it's really important that i get an email address to send you a document
Maybe its good that this gets out of control. Open some eyes that have been shut to the true nature of the beast. Meanwhile I told my kids and all their friends, stay the fuck away from the lake and downtown.
Channel 9 morning news coverd the flash mobs but they neglected to mention the race of the juvys nor the robberies that the flash mobs are doing.
"The Sun-Times joins the rush to post real news..."
"At a mall outside Milwaukee, parents must escort their teens on weekends because of rampant shoplifting there.
"In St. Louis, Las Vegas and Philadelphia, text-messaging “flash mobs” of youths have swooped into stores, stealing merchandise and running away.
Oh. Incidentally -- "And here in Chicago..."
Talk about hunching over, shuffling backwards, and pushing the door open with your ass an inch at a time.
What a way to enter a room.
At least one cannot be accused of courage, straightforwardness, anything like that.
How about the people who were hurled into Lake Michigan and could have died? Does that count?
It's understandable that you missed the earlier story about wildings in November, given that it came during a terrible week for police, but the Sun-Times did write about this back then.
I'd love to hear why the race of these kids is so important to other commenters. Do feel free to share your fascinating and insightful views about race in America in more detail!
Call me...MOM for member of the media.
It's VERY HARD to cover these stories. Very hard to get vics, coppers, store owners, ANYONE effected to go on the record. If anyone has any ideas post 'em because if you do we are itching to cover this. Outside of the 1st and 18 district Strong arm robbery idea, what else you got? Especially you Mr. SCC. Please, help us help you.

5/19/2011 04:56:00 AM
thanks, i needed a break.
Shhh, the public isn't supposed to know the truth.
I think the mobs name is "i swear for god" because most of these youths say this while their doing their bad deeds. Once again bring back paddles in schools and corporal punishment."spare the rod spoil the child"
The beginnings of social anarchy... prepare yourselves now for what is yet to come.
The Channel 5 news reported it like it was a teenage prank, like throwing cupcakes or something. Calling it a form of thrill seeking and a trend minimizes it to the point that people listening would think these are honor students who would normally never do such things.
These are violent, vile, entitlement babies from birth, who have no respect for people, property, or authority.
For heaven's sake, call a spade a spade already. Why sugar coat it?
It is what it is. Serious criminal behavior that will continue because there is no fear of consequences. They know it. There is no way to tame the beast.
Will be interesting to see how the new supe will handle this. Just wait until the Taste--we ain't seen nothin' yet this year!
It would be nice to see the new supe do something about the double/triple promoted ignoramuses who have been promoted far beyond their capabilities.
It would give me hope for our future if he shredded all of them. Call Henny Penny in and tell her what time it is--that goes for the rest of them, too--Bea, DTEB, Carrothers, Meahler, the whole boatload of incompetents.
I sure hope the new supe reads SCC.
off topic but scc you've got to make this a topic. Ive noticed on the Illinois federal district court website that lawsuits that are being filed against the city and county are picking up... heres the thing though.. They are not being filed by lawyers. There is a pre printed/fill in the blank form that all of these suits are being written on by the inmates currently in county and in idoc. Ive been reading them and they are absolutely hilarious!!! They are handwriting(or attempting to hand write) these lawsuits themselves asking for outrageous amounts of money. These are filed by the inmates who are also representing themselves. What ive heard is that the cases are not being picked up by the blood sucking civil lawyers anymore so they tell the inmates, "sorry, but this case just isn't for us, but your more than free to file on your own behalf and represent yourself." so they give them the form and they represent themselves.. of course, these cases are going absolutely nowhere and the cases are just getting dropped because the inmates are not appearing to the initial court dates and status dates and because the suits are completely outrageous. Of course the city likes it because they are tossed out within 2 months or so of it even being filed. looks like the civil attorneys are not just picking up any old case anymore and actually starting to look for the cases that they may have a chance on... you got to read them though, absolutely hilarious. misspellings, wrong words, some words in the paragraph written in Spanish and the good old ghetto slang for words and phrases to describe what happened. one suit that I read said, "before I known it da police came and flat out stole off me makin my left eye bleed." stole off me????? yes, it means to hit somebody but its hilarious what they are resorting to doing in order to get that ghetto lottery.
HA HA nobody believes you SCC or any member of the Chicago Police Department for that matter, we saw it, said it was coming and were told "Hands off Police work"
Go Rahm Go
Anybody who shops on Michigan Ave is soft and stupid!
What troubles me is that we have not seen any video. There are cameras EVERYWHERE. Nothing has surfaced anywhere? I don't doubt it's happening, but why no video?
off the subject, but important to all of us, springfield is about to rule on pensions this week and your newly elected mayor is pushing for city pensions to be included. WELCOME MAYOR EMMANUEL, I'M READY TO PICKET YOUR ASS DOWNTOWN....
Shop on Michigan Ave? Yeah right, I'm a city worker, I don't have that kind of cash! Suburbs is king! and free parking, think about it people.
O.T. I was at TARA today and I witnessed several officers being rude to the staff there. I just don't get it. Why can't we be courteous and polite to each other? Is it because we are "the police" and thus our ego is huge and we think we can get away with it? There is an old saying "it doesn't cost a lot to be polite. So I can afford to do that".
if an Officer was able to determine where and when a "Flash Mob" was going to hit, he or should would inform there supervisor and then be told, never mind we have a quality of life mission and CTA checks to get. Squad, please hold down the following unit's for a quality of life mission, (What ever the hell those missions mean, there good for somebody, but if you ask the Police, these mission's are good for nothing). Come on McCarthy your better then that, fix this shit!
018
Are they all CPS Honor Students?
It's amazing how many personnel in the new Whizz-Bang Units that it takes to do the work of just one 8-man Old-School real Police Days Tact Unit.
I love the new Sup! So far he has yet to be on the news. Low key and not a media whore like the fuck before. Low key and nice change of pace

That is a great idea. I am behind you. Go ahead and lead the charge to use force against the wildings. I hope your maybes come to reality when you are charged by Alv arez and her police hating crew. Just maybe you might not wind up in a federal prison like Cozzi you idiot.
LVMPD just pinched two from our last "wilding" incident. They also obtained warrants for a few more. The two they caught were shown on TV and had $5,000 bond set. Guess what they were crying and the judge couldn't care less. The dicks actually are working on this and they are ratting each other out.
God Bless the CPD.........

Okay, MOM.
TV coverage just now of the bank robbery on North Avenue this morning -- the neighborhood Yups they interviewed were the ones that made me want to run away in fear.
Some Todd in that little rounded I-am-harmless ball cap said approximately "Uh, it was like, I was like, wow, you know? Like, I couldn't believe what was happening."
Yeah, guy in the bank pointing a gun and holding out a bag and shouting, don't jump to any conclusions, got to see this from all sides.
Then, some Caitlin decided that "she felt (!) it was, like, an isolated kind of thing."
Hunters/hunted. When the animals see the likes of these, they just sense "PREY."
I can't escape the few seconds of movie clip that keeps running in my mind -- a group of samurai walking down the road on a journey, in their rough winter cloaks.
One glance suffices. You take in --
Alertness. Confidence. No hostility, just watchfulness. Would be as quick to help a passer-by as to defend themselves.
The outcome of street encounters is often decided by that first glance. The animals used to be less sure of themselves, used to probe around a bit first. "Hey, man. Is you alright? Is yo' name Bob?" The older veteran muggers and jackrollers still do this.
Now that the victims have been trained not to even take their eyes off the ground for fear of the worst thing in the world -- not death, but the word "racism" -- the skels (great NYC word) just push and grab and run.
...if the victim is lucky.
There is a lesson to be learned here.

Funny, I was there and unless this happened on a break, no one was rude to any of the staff there.
I did hear there was a group (about 10 officers) who were at the door to the buidling a few minutes BEFORE 0600 and the door was locked. Then a sgt came to the door and said the class was full and there was only a few seats remaining and he could only let a few people in? WTF. People do not randonmly go to these things, you are sent there by your unit?
People then switch their start times from mids or afternoons to attend, because it is only offered on days, and then are given shit because of SOMEONE elses fuck up? Why the fuck would anyonoe want to go to these traininigs when you show up and are told, sorry, no more seats available?
Do not know if all the PO's got in or if some had to deal with the situation with their districts but I am sure they could have fit them in the class.
I am also sure that there were some guys there who were not "scheduled" but then deal with them not the ones who are signed up. Better yet, who cares let everyone in for "training" cause we rarely get it. There was room.
Great training though but that building brings it down a few pegs because either 20 degrees to hot, like today, or 20 degrees to cold in the winter. You are wither falling asleep cause the heat or freeze in the winter cause of the cold.

I hope some day this asshole doesn't have to say "screw the lawyers" as they are taking the keys to his house and he's driving to work in his brother in law's '88Chrysler mini van if he's still got a job as a police officer. This ain't the '60's my friend.
Nobody likes the way it is but blow'n smoke like you're Dirty Harry ain't the answer.
Try doing police work for a while and getting sued. Go to Federal Court where you might lose every thing you have and all that bull shit talk about kick'n people's asses over some sweat shirts on Michigan Ave will stop.
Been there and it ain't fun.
If they are an Organized Criminal Entity and it can be proven with their facebook etc, why can't we charge them Federally? Wouldn't it vaguely fall under RICO?

Heh-Heh!

"Uhh... Police? Come on guys, this isn't funny! Uhh... Police? Pooo-leeeece? A little help? Uhhh, 911? Oookayyyy... I'm surrounded. Here, take it all, just don't hurt meeeeee... AAIIIIEEEEEEEE!"
Heh-heh... Just play dead and they'll leave you alone...
"AAIIIEEEEEE! My tender parts!"
Or maybe not?
Sorry... No help coming from nowhere for no damn body no time soon or in the foreseeable future.
It'll be fun seeing the lakefront libs, tourists and suburbanites fighting for their very lives.
It's only fair! They SHOULD have to go eyeball to eyeball with devils a few times in their lives. A certain appreciation for those who do it on a fairly regular basis may actually develop!
Well shitfire, damn & a double (cask strength) whiskey! Who woulda figured on that?
Since The Police are the enemy, why not just tell the hope & changers to make friends with whatever is gnawing on that ass.
The plan by the incoming administration is... There really is no plan because NOBODY IN CHARGE HAS THE STOMACH FOR WHAT NEEDS DOING.

In the latest episode they alluded to the "real" reason Harold Washington died.
Not a word in the news anywhere about the CPS student who beat a teacher senseless right in the classroom placing her in the hospital today. The classroom looked liked a real blood bath which required the teacher to receive multiple stitches about the head. NOT A WORD ANYWHERE!!!
these stores need a gate that slams down and lock everyone in. so when these jagoffs decide to hit a store. just hit the button gate comes down locking everyone in. the police will come process them and they will be released 3 hours later.
I never go out and about unarmed. Not with a firearm, but with something to give a yoot pause if I get a chance to use it.
I have no illusions of winning against a group of young predators, but I intend to have company in the ER.
To "MOM" at 5/19/2011 01:33:00 PM:
"the record"?? When has that been an issue? Many "MOM"s have run anti-police stories with nothing on "the record". How about something like "a source with knowledge of these crimes reports that..."?
LOCKING UP JUVENILES IS A WASTE OF TIME.
WAITING FOR PARENTS 1-3 HOURS
WAITING FOR JUVY DICK TO PROCESS ARREST 1-2 HOURS
CHANCE KID WILL BE RELEASED 80%
CHANCE KID WILL BE TOLD TO BEHAVE BY JUDGE IN JUVY COURT 60%.
SO WHEN U MAKE THAT GREAT WILDING ARREST FOR SHOPLIFTING GUESS WHAT ALL IT IS IS PAPER WORK. KID GETS A RIDE HOME CUZ MAMAS NOT HOME.
AND THE COURT DATE GUESS WHO DOESNT SHOW UP THE STORE PERSONAL!!!

Go get your shine box kid, cause we don't get paid enough to put up with 2 to 9 years of fucking federal lawsuits by shithead shyster attorneys who have nothing better to do than spend their life trying to get rich off the CPD, who would willingly offer you up on a silver platter so long as the blame is put on YOUR shoulders for following the vauge and ambiguous bullshit statements of "go get 'em boys" and "put hands on the bad guys".
You go live your life under the federal microscope for a nickle, then you go live your life under the civil suit seeking all your assets as "punitive" damages.
Then come back here and tell everyone how badass you are, if you haven't bit the pipe first.
Until then, STFU and stay outta the way of those of us who fully intend to retire off this turned-to-shit job by the likes of people like YOU.

Here's an idea, fucktard!
Go sit your self serving pimp ass down in the zone for the next 3 warm weekends and bring that fucking stooge with you who points the camera.
When you start getting your fucking ass kicked tell your pal to turn on the camera and record it.
Only a true idiot would ever try and claim they "can't get no evidence".
You've been told for over a fucking year where it happens, you're just too fucking stupid or too fucking liberal to show the public what goes on there because you'd rather spend month after month looking for the next copper to fuck for your next promotion.

would you also 'love' to see the inevitable result of these activities continuing unabated?
ie., someone, regardless of race, (and more likely then ever to be one of the "kids" you so cluelessly imply you affection for), ending up stone cold, kissing the pavement?
would that be something that would have a chance of piercing your thick skull?
A lot more "kickin' ass and takin' names" is needed by the CPD, and screw the lawyers. If these little asshole's parents didn't teach them how to conduct themselves in public, maybe the Police can.And maybe, just maybe, Mayor Rahm will tell the lawyers to back off and let the CPD get these little darlings under control. Maybe.

Go right ahead. Me, I'll be depolicing until I retire because I am not going to end up like Bill Cozzi, or the sgt. charged criminally for slapping a shitbird who spit at him.
You live in a freakin' fairyland--the ballerino should do what? Tell the lawyers to 'back off'? Get the 'little darlings' under control? Are you galactically stupid?
You go right ahead and kick ass and take names. Those days are over my friend. I will write to you when you end up in the penitentiary or living in an SRO.
Dumbshit coppers still don't get it. Proactive police work has no effect and no one wants you to do it anyway. Spend your 8, collect your checks, take care of your police family and regular family--that is all this job should be.
Kick ass and take names. For the love of God, get over it. This department is sunk. I don't care if they brought in Batman or General Patton. This ship has sunk too far to save. Swooosh! Titanic.
Maybe its good that this gets out of control. Open some eyes that have been shut to the true nature of the beast.

can anyone just explain to me what the fuck is wrong with this city and state? why politicians are allowed to screw off, why criminals enjoy better rights and lives than us? why the cubs can and will never win a world series? how weis can keep his job even though its common sense he destroyed morale and the dept? how police officers can be murdered and the politicians respond with a awesome hire of 200 extra police? why the hawks sell off their stanley cup team because they are too stupid to manage salaries? why the bears owernship along with angelo are a JOKE? why taxes are so high? why gas is so high? why we dont have a spring anymore? why jody and daily and other brass lie about crime statistics and majority of idiots believe it? why every company wants to move out of here asap? why illinois residents still continue to elect morons like quinn? daily too? How 60-100 shitbag , oh im sorry "honor" students can run around downtown and steal shit, punch people, throw bikes in the lake etc. How two exchange students from ireland can be beaten so savagely by cockroaches?
I can go on and on but ill leave it at that. what the hell is wrong with illinois and chicago. cook county too. its embarassing. i cant even explain it to friends and family who either moved away or never lived here.

WOW. I remember coming on the job respecting the old time coppers asking their advice and steering me in the right direction to make it 20 years to get a pension, times have changed..hey kid, its not a race...but I wish you luck and keep up the great job..and paying into my pension.

I think the point he was making is that the guys you asked for advice were not the dog asses that this idiot who posted seems to be. Most of those guys are lazy asses and the few real police who worked were as few and far between as those who do now.

DID RAHM HAVE HIS HOLLYWOOD CONTACTS CANCEL THE "CHICAGO CODE?"
The story lines were silly, the Chicago addresses were fictitious, the cliches were rampant, but there were lots of embarrassing "Chicago" moments brought to light: politics, merit promotions, nonsense statistics that say crime was down and a sly story line regarding an "anonymous" exposing police secrets (SCC retooled in a radio show?).
All pretty funny if you watched the show regularly. No so funny if you were the one getting outed.
The show was fun to watch if you suspended reality. No cop show is real, but it was fun to see Chicago on the tube and fun to look for familiar faces in the background.
So, did Rahm get the show cancelled? Look for all involved to get rewarded with other shows or projects.
5/19/2011 08:30:00 AM
This show blew on the opening scene. It actually got better but most likely lost everyone with the god awefull silly opening on the first episode. They should have known better to have such a dumb opening. There is no way to capture an audience with such dumb opening.
" I'd love to hear why the race of these kids is so important "
Actually, I don't give a fat rats ass about the race of these offenders, but that's because I haven't made my career of race card playing & baiting ala, Meeks, Wright, Plfleger, Sharpton and corporate extortionist Jesse Jackson. Did I 'splain enough for you?
Robberies Target Teens
Recent robberies in the neighborhood have targeted teens. It's important that teens protect themselves by following basic safety procedures. Click here for a list of teen safety tips from BAPA and the 22nd District CAPS office. Neighbors can help reduce crime by calling 911 if they see something or someone suspicious. Protect your homes and garages by locking doors and windows. If you are interested in participating in a neighborhood watch, please email acollins@bapa.org.

When some poor little old lady on the Gold Coast is mugged and killed then the city will take some action to stop these little thugs. Why are juvinile thugs shoplifting in these groups given "station adjustments"? Put them in the juvinile detention center and let them sit for a few weeks.
If they are an Organized Criminal Entity and it can be proven with their facebook etc, why can't we charge them Federally? Wouldn't it vaguely fall under RICO?

GOOGLE "flash mob" and "violence". Interesting.
Strong arm robbery? That's a forcible felony. Which is punishable by death....... If you know how to write paper. Guess the revs will be marching around my house if I happen to be a "victim".
Process the children offenders DNA and send it to Maury. When the fathers and mothers are identified, jail them for contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

O.K.
If groups of whites were going traveling out of their neighborhoods and targeting primarily African Americans, would this not be national ( if not international ) news? I have a feeling the FBI would be involved and civil rights charges would be involved. So mentioning race is important to show the double standard. Also, it is important to give people the information they need to protect themselves.

************************************
I just love it when an ignorant person speaks(or types)
You actually think that officers with less than 10 years on the job turned this department into what it is??
You actually think that young educated people are the wrong way to go??
You actually think that aggressive police work(not always the wisest but thats how you learn) by new
officers is the problem??
The problem with this department comes from the top.
LIKE IT ALWAYS HAS
The new police officers want to be the police of those romanticized stories of the past. But society and civilization as well as technology prohibit that.
So why don't you do something that no one else does. SUPPORT YOUR OWN.
The "leaders" of this department come from the "old school" Why don't they act like it?? Because times change,peoples values change.
You sound like one of those guys that all he has is his seniority. One day less on the job than you is a know nothing rookie.
Grow a brain.
BTW, I came on before richie was mayor and things have always been like this in one way or another.
Keep the family fighting in the family,defend each other to outsiders.
To all those asking for Videos of the Wilding Flash Mobs.The stores have them and remember the North face is in the Hancock center with lots of cameras because that building is a terrorist threat.The stores and the city will not release the video they dont want to scare people from shopping on Mag Mile.A lot of crimes are buried in 18.JUST THE FACTS.
It's understandable that you missed the earlier story about wildings in November, given that it came during a terrible week for police, but the Sun-Times did write about this back then.

Okay, Il take the bait.
I don't know about "race in the rest of America". I havn't lived anywhere else except IN the city of Chicago, so I an only comment on that. Here is what I see as the problem.
First, the breakdown of the black family started during the "Black Power" days of the 60's.
Black Leaders and Liberal/Progressive agendas replaced personal responsability. Many don't realize, but two parent households in the 50's was around 90%, now around 90% of black families in Chicago are now sinlge parent-which may even be grandma raising them. If you don't believe me, go ask one of your sociology professors.
The result of these policies destroyed the black family, caused rampant drug use, and created a sense of victimization/entitlement.
We are now in the 3rd, 4th and 5th generation.
Personally, I think crack has caused may of there youth to become brain damaged (NOT to be used as an excuse).
They simply cannot function in this society.
They cannot be educated, they are not employable, they lack any social skills, and have become nothing more than predators.
And, every female black who suffers from this probably wil have around 2 or 3 kids of her own who will suffer the same fate.
And every male who suffers from this will probably have 2 or 3 kids of his own from 2-3 different baby's mommas.
Now for the solution...THERE IS NO SOLUTION.
The role of the police has become nothing more than the disciplinarian who if he sees you doing something wrong, takes you to the lockup or JISC which is nothing but a time-out.
It is up to the individual to better themselves. Until that happens, nothing will change

Spend fifteen minutes of company time reading juvie law and you will know the answer to your question.
It's called 'balanced and restorative justice' and you start with station adjustments and work your way up to the serious level of punishment.
I'm not saying it works. I'm saying it's the law.
Bring back sergeants Jack Runyon and Moon Mullens!
Here's another idea, get our own videos, off duty/on the public way, from ganbanger websites,from the merchants and publish it here and on You-Tube.
We have posted it it enough but the video would make it stick.
And ask Father Pflager what a parent should do if junior brings home a 60" flat screen TV.

Works less and less well, too, as things devolve, as the family structure that was once assumed to just need a little official help has actually ceased to exist, and as the kids have become preliterate, nearly preverbal monsters with little connection to the world around them.
Steal it, smash it, screw it, or scratch it up -- or hide behind it if it's too big to move.
