Bold Statement by Rahm
- Mayor Rahm Emanuel says he’s confident the city has a plan to prevent any more mob attacks this weekend.
Emanuel told reporters Friday morning he’s been talking about the issue, with Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy.
"I'm confident. I've talked to Garry at both, as you know, in the morning yesterday (Thursday) and also I think around six o'clock. We were at an event together and we met for about 20 minutes to go over things,” Emanuel said. “But I'm confident in the public safety of our city regardless of what neighborhood you live in. And that we have a strategy of putting more resources, of putting police on the street which is where we need to put those resources. So I am confident as it relates not just to this weekend, but during the week and every weekend in every neighborhood."

Just a prediction, but when raham falls flat on his face, I'll bet he blames the Police, and not the animals committing the crime.
ahh rahmbo! Sir we need these fuckers put in jail! make a call to anita alvarez who has no clue,and the jagoff judges that let these scum roam the city! You moron!
He meant to say "But I'm confident in the public safety of our city as long as you live in my neighborhood."
If Rahm said it's all ok then it must be , Right ??? A machine politician in chicago would never lie to the public, Right ???
He knows how to fix things, Right ????
Do we feel safer now ???????
I think I'll have some ice cream and stay indoors, it's safer there !!!!!!
Ha Ha, and I'm confident this city is going to shit.
So, it only took them 20 minutes to bang out a plan to keep the whole city safe from these monsters?! Wow, that's impressive. I'll call up Stephen Hawking right now and tell him he has two new chess partners.
glad i live in norwood park.
check out how the comments section are closed on all these stories on the tribune website.talk about un-ethical liberals.
we shall see when the weather finally gets hot. and give it a couple years too.. only time will tell.
Why dont they charge the shitbirds with the International Terrorist charge?
They started a special employment in the 1st Dist this weekend for flash mobs.
It's his job to look confident and to make bold statements.
Just may be the summer of Marital law and national guard troops if you ask me.
Buy what do I know?
And in case Rahm's bullshit isn't enough, G-Spot was quoted on Newsradio 780 last night, touting his effectiveness.
[Paraphrasing]..."we've made 34 (?) arrests of those involved in the flash mob attacks. We pretty much got everyone involved in custody".
Nubs and G-Spot want a gullible public to believe that the lion's share of the cancer has been eradicated in just a few days.
Rahm says he's confident the city has a plan to prevent any more mob attacks this weekend? What, pray tell, might that plan be, Rahm? I'll understand if you don't want to tip your hand and unveil the intricacies involved in culling Flashmobbers or blowing up MLDs, but I'm a pessimist by nature.
I believe your plan, undoubtedly fine-tuned in that "about 20 minutes to go over things", relies more upon the dramatic shift in the weather. Any copper worth his salt knows that "Heat" goes into suspended animation when the mercury dips below "tropical".
Once the temps resume their ascent "Heat" reappears, albeit groggily at first. Like reptiles that seek the warmth of the sun in order to attain full mobility, you can find this particular species perched on vehicle hoods, fire hydrants and mail boxes, "soaking up rays" until optimum operating temperature is attained.
There are many variables involved in being able to feel "confident in the public safety of our city regardless of what neighborhood you live in." Perhaps the most important variable is the number of patrolmen actually employed by CPD.
Would the small faction of the media that just finally experienced their balls drop with Daley's retirement care to do some number crunching? Maybe start with the budgeted amount of 13,500 vs. actual numbers making pension contributions. Then work in the number of recent retirees compared to hires for some more numbers fun. Then ask Tiny Dancer what exactly he meant when he muttered "1,000 'more' police officers" as his recurring campaign drivel.
Then let Nubs know that even if we had double the amount of budgeted officers, it wouldn't make a damn bit of difference. There's just too many factors beyond manpower responsible for the sorry state of affairs surrounding the CPD and law enforcement in general.
Smoke. Mirrors. Diversionary tactics. Lies. There's a literal smorgasbord of Sheeple Chow available, folks. Come and enjoy seconds, courtesy of your new mayor.
Rahm is correct about McCarthy stopping the shit on Michigan Avenue and the lakefront. The populance that lives there won't tolerate it and want the police to take action. The police officers working that area won't tolerate it and they are taking action. Michigan Avenue and the lakefront are the police department's Stalingrad. If we don't stop it in Streeterville, the city is lost.
On the other hand, the West and South sides are lost. And because of the worsening economic conditions, they can't be won.
I'm rooting for McCarthy. He's a mentally tough son-of-a-bitch. And he has a plan, where as the previous regime was beyond clueless. I think McCarthy will end up as one of our best superintendents, but he has a very weak supporting cast. There's going to be a shitload of changes at the exempt level.
+++BREAKING NEWS+++
...in six separate live TV and three newspaper phone interviews over the course of the day the Mayor made it absolutely clear to everyone that he has absolute faith in the ability of Superintendent Jersey Heat to protect citizens from mobs of wilding honor yout. The Mayor elaborated that he runs a hands-off policy with regards to policing believing that law enforcement professionals like Superintendent Heat should take 100% responsibility for laura norder and that Super' Heat has promised the mayor he has a strategy and the mayor took it on good faith that Super' Heat is on the case which is right and proper given that the mayor takes a hands off approach to policing and leaves it to the 100% responsibility of professionals like Super' Heat who had great references and who the Mayor was assured was up to the task of taking over a big city police department despite some personal misgivings...and in case anyone missed it the Mayor repeated he has great faith in the strategy 100% developed by Super Heat which was 100% him and not the mayor at all...
Scc, I completly forgot about this... Since everyones been so serious lately how about posting this picture up?? Ahhhhh, the good times on this job!! I think a Chicago sgt runs this site about old squad cars and I ran upon this one... pretty damn funny!!
http://copcardotcom.fotki.com/photographs_of_greg/chicago-police-vehicles/greg_reynolds--chic/3.html#media
yeah his plan this weekend was the rain and cold weather....hate to breaj it to you shithead its going to warm up soon and for at least a few months. try another plan. how about hire additional police? oh wait something you should have done months ago to prepare for this.
Your confidence is inspiring. Now what are you going to do about the reality on the ground? You don't have enough police to address the fucking problem.
Oh Emanuel, I am staggered by your concern for the piles of dead bodies and roving mobs pillaging in the streets ! Did you really spend all of 20 minutes talking about this with Garry ?
Surely the problem will be solved now !
Lol.
C'mon , This guy needs a drug test . Is he for real ? He actually thinks his plan will work .
Hey - I am really glad to find this. great job!
I love how chicago breaking news has an article asking the public to help identify 3 CTA robbers and they describe them down to the color of the tongue of their shoe and the numbers on a shirt, but skip the fact that they are black. Unreal.
Wow that is good to know. I thought we were short handed, since there hasn't been a new hire since last fall and it been almost Four years since a detectives class has been made.
OT, a cop asked where he could do some competitive shooting in the area. Well, you're going to have to drive some, but there are places all over that have matches. There is the NSPPL, a north suburban police league that has associate members, there are IDPA matches in McHenry, out by Aurora and I believe Oak Park Sportmens Club, but the club is out west, not in Oak Park. There are matches at local clubs in northeastern Indiana, I believe there is a South Suburban Police League, there is the IPA, I think Maxons has a shooting club, ITOA has training opportunities, the ISRA has a range with many activities at their range out towards Kankakee and last but not least, the Bristol Range, in Bristol Wisconsin.
You can check for IDPA, IPSC, SASS and USPSA via the web, there are many matches.
Once you check around, you'll find that there are more matches than you have time and money for. But they are all a bit of a drive from Chicago.
What is happening in America? Read the two articles below. Sadly this is happening all over our country. On Memorial Day weekend there were numerous such types of disturbances throughout our country (Chicago, Miami, New York).

The "Big Plan" is putting more Police Officers "on the street". Not actually hiring anyone.
When will we see a class go in the Academy? When will we get some real help? Clearing the old timers out of their desk jobs isn't much help at all Mr. Mayor.
flash mobs, 2 and 7 year old children being shot, unsafe beaches, a buck wild police boss who is babbling to the media, cps who has just told the teachers that they will not get raises, cta broke, chicago broke, cook county broke, illinois broke---- shock and awe baby, change you can believe in courtesy of flim flam quinn, tiny dancer, gmac, and perrywinkler---- this is just the beginning of the magic show, pull up a chair because the best is yet to come....
Yeah right. Pull some policemen out of your hat.
While I know that we all are rejoicing in the fact that numerous deficiencies are FINALLY coming to light in the arrogant way we've been treated by the Daley administration for the past two decades AND his cavalier attitude toward public safety, we had better not lose sight of what's REALLY important in this city.
Cheering on the loss of tourism and the many dollars it brings in, that helps to pay our salaries, may be fun in an 'I told you so' kind of way, but it certainly hurts ANY CHANCE that our pension funds will be replenished or ANY kind of raises will be discussed for our next contract.
And, while I realize that one tool we have to fight the mistreatment we've all felt in the past by Daley is to NOT produce revenue for the city via citations, auto tows etc, this is certainly counter-productive and really just creates an opportunity and a NEED to hire civilians to do the things that many of us have vowed not to do. While some of us may feel justified in not creating revenue for the city, this sure makes it easy for them to cry poor when it comes time to talk about pay increases.
Just something to think about... millions or billions of revenue or tourism dollars NOT going into Chicago's pockets means Rahm will look for other ways to balance the budget... like cutting into our pensions, maybe?
Wish it was concealed carry.....
What ever happened to coppers getting hired to work all of these fests like the movie detail? I remember going to a meeting at 35th St and Frank Gross said it was almost a done deal. Did he blow the deal or is it only for a select few?
OT -
I wish that the media and everyone else would stop referring to these roving bands of criminals as "flash mobs."
They are not flashmobs.
A flash mob (or flashmob)[1] is a group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual and sometimes seemingly pointless act for a brief time, then disperse, often for the purposes of entertainment and/or satire.
wilding is a slang term that refers to the practice of marauding in bands to terroize strangers and to swagger and bully
Reactionary politics. But at least they're out there talking about it and not denying it (after being caught lying).
What did Daley, JFed, the reverends, CeaseFire & the aldermen do for the last 3 years?
Nothing.
The violence won't stop just because everyone in 'the hood' has stolen every last iPad, iPhone, & iPod.
Does anyone really think Rahm can halt the Downtown crime wave, with the leadership under McCarthy still held over from Team JFed?
Nope.
Alvarez insists her office will be prosecuting the mob attackers, if you citizens don't have an idea on the penalty the court will hand down, just look at the case where the teen police impersonator was arrested, and let go 3 times for other arrests since then. The Judges and the State Atty. or soft on crime.
The Press already begun to tell you about every arrest made downtown and that is the message the Mayor hopes the media will convey for the rest of the summer months. By gosh, then it sounds like they're actually doing something! The publicity will make everyone feel so much safer.
That's they're summer plan.
Now, let's focus on jobs and education, oh wait we don't have either.
You can send your gratitude to The Daley Legacy and Family Endowment Fund, Michigan Ave, Chicago 60601.
One last word on the illegal DUI that killed the old man in Logan Square: With all the illegals that have killed in this City, can we put Daley in jail for creating this untenable situation?
Ryan went to jail after an entire family was killed by a trucker that shouldn't have been on the road. Ryan put him there.
Daley has put tens of thousands of illegals in this City that account for many deaths and a staggering amount of crime. ( I will always remember the 13 year old girl shot dead on a playground by a Nigerian 'student' arrested over 2 dozen times for violent crimes) I won't even get into the economic mess they cause, just the crime for now.
Why can't he go to jail as a little incentive to Emmanuel to end this "Sanctuary City" nonsense?
Mike Shields on Fox right now. What a goof can I get my vote back. Im soooo sorry everybody. I can' t believe what q mistake
News conf at 11 today.
The comment by Emmanuel is pure rhetoric... No substance. All it says is that he has confidence; there is no solution or game plan. It figures
Can I be the first one to call BULLSHIT on this!
But thank God little richie is safe, surrounded by armed guards. I wonder how he affords that? Ooops, I forgot, we get to pay for it!!!!
What about those MLD's big guy??? Whats the plan...
The Tribune editor explained on page 2 today that they only mention race if combined with other sufficiently identifying details. That may make some sense, yet the Breaking News story goes into great detail about the clothes (which can change in 2 minutes) yet doesn't mention the complexion and hair color. Why not, since you show it in the photos along with the clothes described? Anything I'm missing about this, officers? It's all factual now, isn't it? Try again, Tribune.
Same old crap.
Bloody weekend. Now that we've eliminated flash mobs and dismantled the MLD's and Seal Team 6 beat Supt Joy-Z to Bin Laden, what is left to do. Oh yea, one more thing Joy-Z has vowed to find Out where Jimmy Hoffa and Stacy Peterson ran off to.
I'm confident about being confident because I'm confident about being confident.
Terry Bevington
I especially like the part where the length of time the two top powers physically put their heads together to solve MOB violence "...we were at an event together and we met for about twenty minutes". Chilling. Portent?
Once you check around, you'll find that there are more matches than you have time and money for. But they are all a bit of a drive from Chicago.

or you could just take a midnight walk down west madison or south halstead.
Back in the 70's the CPD had two pistol teams: gold and silver. They competed against each other and against some surburban police teams. I am long retired, but maybe some active guys/gals would be willing to start this again. The hardest part is getting a range to practice the a good deal on the ammo. A couple of the guys were reloaders so that saved us a lot of cash. At the time, Com Ed has a gun club range at 23rd and State ( yes, 23rd and State) that we used for no charge. It was a two story building just east of State. I am sure it no longer exist!! We had a lot of fun. But, I would be willing to bet you will get absolutely no support from the new superintendent.
OT - the Civic Committee wants to raise pension contributions.
Police Officers have 9 percent of their check deducted for our pension. How does that compare with other pension plans? Well according to the NY Times, New York state employees pay 3 percent of their pay for their pension and Governor Cuomo's reform bill seeks to raise that to 6 percent. So right now we are already paying 33 percent more than the reformers in New York are seeking. Also Social Security participants pay 4.2 percent of their pay, we are already paying double that into our retirement plan. Does the Civic Committee think we are not paying our fair share?
Has McFib been to any roll calls giving a rah rah speech?
Never forget he'll throw you under the bus. Nothing new to see here, move along.

Do not be that confident. The shit is closer to you than you realikze. Central and bryn mawr full of section 8. Northwest highway the same. And response time is bad. You are lucky if there are two beat cars west of nagle on midnights.
I'm rooting for McCarthy. He's a mentally tough son-of-a-bitch. And he has a plan, where as the previous regime was beyond clueless. I think McCarthy will end up as one of our best superintendents, but he has a very weak supporting cast. There's going to be a shitload of changes at the exempt level.
I am willing to give the Supt. 6 months to prove himself although so far he's made some very bad moves and continues to alienate the rank and file.
Outsiders must have no idea exactly what their walking into when they take jobs here in the city, county, or state. There is so much corruption, it must leave their heads spinning. I'm not saying I feel sorry for him, you accept this job, you accept everything that comes with it.
The sad part is that he has very few competent Exempts to help him out. Most have risen the ranks due to political clout and what you have left is an absolute shambles.
As far as manpower, we have been pointing out the shortages and clamoring for more hiring for years but instead, Daley used the money to fund his pet projects. The officers you have left out on the street are demoralized and burned out and who can blame us, in the midst of anarchy you still have attacks on police and fire pensions/benefits which I find fascinating. What they usually fail to mention is that we pay more into our pensions then teachers and others do, in some cases a lot more. Then of course there is the excessive force issues that arise anytime you put your hands on these honor students. The States Attorneys Office has successfully villianized the Police Department so much so that officers are hesitant to put their lively hoods on the line.
At this point I'm not sure what can be done with what we have to work with. Perhaps you start with a joint task force supplemented by Cook County, surrounding agencies and State Police we simply need more bodies, period. I wouldn't be surprised if we eventually have to call out the National Guard and institute a curfew. I know, I know it sounds somewhat ridiculous but lets wait and see how ridiculous a prediction it turns out to be.
These are Urban Terrorists and the rules dealing with them have got to change. How is it that their rights are equal to or more important to that of the average law abiding citizen?
Instead of getting rid of limited duty officers, utilize them to do actual police work. Have them monitoring pod cameras throughout the city along with pow's from callback. Use the hundreds of bodies you have at your disposal.
Sorry, I'm done ranting, I will take a wait and see attitude on the new Supt. The comment sections are filled with a mixed bag of comments but I also find some much needed wisdom as well. I hope all of you continue to post ideas for positive change because like I say, he's going to need all the help he can get. Not that he reads this "insignificant blog"
2:15am, are you smoking CRACK. He has ALREADY shown that he's a IDIOT.
Trib's explanation of their race-identifying policy reeks of the same arrogance on display inside the beltway. Their Board belongs with all the other weiners.
Well, whats the plan McPuppet?
Going to the Fibune's breaking news site and looking at the picture of McCarthy talking about how the two girls shooter's Maniac Latin Disciples gang is going to be put out of business, I now know what happened to the actor that played Henry Goldblume. He's grown a mustache and is now starring as a police chief of a large metropolitan department
The Tribune (sort of) finally addressed the subject of how they address race issues in news stories:
When race is relevant in news coverage
They still haven't responded to the question of why they disable comments on some stories and not others, or of what criteria they use to do so.
WHAT???
he's giving mummbles a run for his money
I'm sure McStupindentent has a plan. A couple more visits to father Flakey in 006 and the attacks will stop along with the biggest crime drop since stats were invented. For all of those who hoped the new boss would be better than the old boss, you might as well forget it. Nothing is going to change for the better. Organized chaos is here to stay. Things will just get worse!
6/12/2011 02:15:00 AM
Lets hope your right we need to dump 90% of the exempts they are clueless! GMACK Got Balla??
Where are Rahm and his family all living now? Will they be moving back into the rental house so the kids can attend public school?
DON'T worry our fearless leaders DTEB and the Screaming Skull Peterson will solve all the city's crime problems. With leaders like these two its a wonder Shitcago has any crime.
talk is cheap. He needs to be named in a civil rights law suit. I'm fucking done here. I respond, take the report and leave. This liberal shit hole got the police department it wanted. Had the will to be the police sued out of me.
Saw this on the Drudge Report. Woorld Wide. Made me puke.
When race is relevant in news coverage
"
We take these matters seriously and reach decisions about them after careful consideration. This is a good opportunity to explain our approach to issues like these.
We do not reference race unless it is a fact that is central to telling the story.
"
If race is not the over all reason for the attack, then why have not the flash robs attacked any blacks? HMMMM?

"So here’s a Sneed tip . . .
Why not hire retired police officers for part-time work and let them work a few days a week shoring up the areas that need protection?"
I've got over 30+ years CPD experience and so the seniority to get any Special Employment the city offers. I have the worn out knees from all that police work. Am I suppose to chase these thug-mobs like I could when I was just out of the Academy?
Daley torn the CPD down to pay his friends and Rahm is doing the same and the citizens are suffering.
What you should be saying is: To Rahm, HIRE MORE POLICE
McCarthy must demand that district commanders and other command staff quit pulling the wool over his eyes with all the hidden police officers assignes as civilians ,
timekeepers , crossing guard supervisor , extra review , caps officers , unnecessary foot posts , tactical secretaries etc
he should question the duties of every police officer not assigned to a primary beat car
they fooled jfled for three years and most think mccarthy will be gone before he can figure it out
New Boss McCarthy has to eliminate captains or make lt out of grade pay pensionable . It's not fair as a lt we are respnsible for a watch 70 % of the time in some of the busiest districts and not compensated at retirement.
Captains should be reassigned to replace Area Commanders , MLAS ,ERPS , Crime Lab , Narcotics , Public Transportation , or assigned to Areas as Watch CXommander to supervise Lts in the districts.
Captains are 100 % political , most were merit sgt & lt and over 50% of lts didn't apply for the political appointed rank.
Just wanted to post a thank you again to the P.Os(sorry don't know your Bt.) who were working near Jackson and Michigan on 11Jun11 at 1900hrs. My 15 year old son was walking nearby to meet me at blues fest. While nearing Grant Park he observed 5-6 male/1 teens gathering, then chasing a male and female white down an alley. He said he told said beat car who immediately turned on lights and sped towards and down said alley. I don't know if you guys observed anything, found any victims or caused the group of offenders to scatter preventing two more victims from being robbed and beaten. But thank you for taking his observation seriously and checking on the situation. Much appreciation given to you from a off duty P.O. from 007
I feel confident now that the Supt. said that the gang bangers will now be arrested for carrying guns, narcotics and warrants. I guess that they were not arrested before. If only Anita Alverez would get on board and prosecute these trouble makers, there might be a slowdown in this shit.
150 house mouses to be redeployed to the street.. but guess where they get to go. 012,009, 013,016, 022,021, 002, 001, 018. so the clouted inside house mouses get to get thier pick to go to the slower softer districts... ahhh yes, got to love this department its all legit.
Rahm looks confident! is that possible? he looks like a starved, got no sleep punk
The numbers of people turning out for the Blues Fest must be pretty poor for the Mayor to hold so many TV interviews confirming how safe he feels the city is.
On the other hand I don't see any alderman that have been around for awhile "putting any skin in the game " giving up their personal security details to prevent two and seven year old kids being shot in the park....Nor is the ex-mayor!
Why is that?
Hey crime is falling! Right?
Live from the Chicago Green Zone...
Another 100 officers reasigned get video of all the ppo's walking downtown. Shoo we had to direct traffic
WOW, Chicago aka shitcago made the WSJ... your buddies in Washington must be so proud of the good job your doing here with the crime...
I'm not in business but that has to hurt, the 3rd largest City in the US has an uncorrectable problem in it's bread and butter district?
Not good Mr. Mayor, not good.
Find us some real management that has balls and brains! We need Boss's who support us, back us and stand by us! This merit crap and the flock of spineless supervisor's is the worst thing for not only the city and it's residents but also moral and the working Officer. There are plenty of Officers out here that still want to work, it's just finding a boss who will let them. Until then, the problem is in house and bigger then "young men" flash mobbing
don't shuffle the 500 or so officers from one unit to the next, hire the damn 2,000+ officers we're short. plain and simple. stop with the stupid and useless outdoor role calls, seat belt missions and sst drive in circle missions and let the police, be the police. i'll be you see an immediate and continuous drop in crime.
This should be good for some REAL Yucks...
Remember your 2% raise,& Cozzi, etc. when working hard to break up the ghetto locust Flash Mobs.
Rahm, can you get the Cook CO states atty office on pace? nothing is a felony and these case's go SOL and charges dropped daley, sorry I mean every day, go sit or have one of your many staffers go sit in any branch for a call it's a complete joke! Criminals are given nothing for there actions and they know it. Stop putting the emphasis upon the department and look a little deeper, you are an educated man and you can see the truth, if your looking and if you want to. It's an easy fix Rahm and it will correct the problem asap,
I'm rooting for McCarthy. He's a mentally tough son-of-a-bitch. And he has a plan, where as the previous regime was beyond clueless. I think McCarthy will end up as one of our best superintendents, but he has a very weak supporting cast. There's going to be a shitload of changes at the exempt level.

You're like the energizer bunny, kid. No clue what it means to be a cop, yet you continue to make your opinions seem as though you are a cop.
Clue 1, he's not YOUR boss, he's OURS.
Clue 2, you still don't understand politics, this guy is playing his game here because he thinks he can parlay it into big money somewhere else. Nothing more.
you still need a citywide unit.... hirer more police and change the policies on use of force.. let us do our jobs..
From the Kremlin: Commissar's Emmanuel and McCarthy assures fellow comrades that all are safe in the Peoples Republic of Chicago.
Now please move along and do not gather, there is nothing to see or speak about.

I live in Norwood Park too and I haven't seen a squad car in weeks. I just read the article about 150 more officers being put on the street and guess who isn't getting any. 016. Look out for your neighborhood and call 911 for EVERYTHING.
When I saw McGruff giving a news conference with Rev. Jesse Jackson giving him the "brown eye" I knew this mutt was doomed. McGruff even played a game of basketball will some of the yoots at the event. Jackson will blame everybody else except the young Black Thugs for what is going on. You can't sit on the fence and expect anything to get fixed.
Fox News is reporting 150 more officers to be sent to 15 districts that previously didn't receive manpower from TRU/MSG. When all is said and done it said the only 2 districts that won't receive additional manpower will be Central and Jefferson Park.
No mention of where the magicians are coming up with these additional 150 beat officers. Anyone see anything official on this?
Rahm is working on city contracts to link teacher raises to student performance. The thinking is that the contract allows for anywhere between a 0 and 4% raise. Dramatic improvement let's them get 4% while a decline puts their raise at 0%.
There is now a push to link police raises to crime rates at the distrct/area level. High crime districts would get their full raise even if crime slightly rose, while low crime districts would not get the raise unless there was a dramatic decline. This would push more experienced officers to bid into high crime districts and motivate them to work once there. Best yet, the city loses no money because it forces police to earn raises the city would have otherwise just given.
The department is gearing up to get crime down by any means available. Big changes are coming in the next contract. The city is gearing up to get the next contact settled quickly. If the FOP fights them in arbitration, the city is gearing up to propose a 10% across the board pay cut.
Expect the next contract to be settled before this one expires. The big word is absolutely no more retro pay checks. Low interest rates and uncertain market conditions mean there is very little advantage for the city to hold that money while contract negotiations drag on. Besides, the city is looking for major work rule changes, including linking raises to crime rates, or else they will move forward with the pay cuts.
No mention of where the magicians are coming up with these additional 150 beat officers. Anyone see anything official on this?

It's not fair as a lt we are respnsible for a watch 70 % of the time in some of the busiest districts and not compensated at retirement.
Waaaaaaaaa! Life isn't fair Lieutenant, now grow up. If you don't like it, give up your spot.
CPD will be lucky to receive any pay raises in our next contract ,rumor is we'll have to give up some benefits like personal days , bfd's and duty availability will be only for police officers assigned to the 1st and 3rd watch , that does make sense and offices on medical will not receive duty availablity checks
hey, why not assume when the fibune makes a reference without race, you can assume what the race is then.

What ever happened to coppers getting hired to work all of these fests like the movie detail? I remember going to a meeting at 35th St and Frank Gross said it was almost a done deal. Did he blow the deal or is it only for a select few?
6/12/2011 08:26:00 AM
He got lateralled if you'll recall. Whatever was going on with that deal is now Judy Martin's problem, if in fact such a deal existed.
If pay raises for cops are linked to crime reduction then they should be giving all of us a 100% increase. Crime has gone down for months and months. And fire fighters? What if the number of fires goes down? Do they take a pay cut? Hmmmm. The only mutt who will see more cash is the Haitian Prince of the CPS. He will fudge all the test scores and make the public school kids look like Einsteins!
Expect the next contract to be settled before this one expires. The big word is absolutely no more retro pay checks. Low interest rates and uncertain market conditions mean there is very little advantage for the city to hold that money while contract negotiations drag on. Besides, the city is looking for major work rule changes, including linking raises to crime rates, or else they will move forward with the pay cuts.

Whatever BS source you're using, unless you're just a City Hall troll, get this through your head and pass it on to your handlers:
Trying to enforce the threat of only "performance" based raises upon a police department will never even make it to the discovery phase in court.
As with the teachers, putting their financial health in the hands of delinquent children's hands and letting THEM determine whether they refuse to learn something or not will never make it past the first few motions just as putting the financial health of police officers in the hands of fucking shithead criminals will never work either.
Something you and your handlers must think you can mindfuck the public with is that you think you can tie a monetary carrot around CIVIL SERVICE jobs whose responsibility is defined by LAWS.
These aren't sales jobs pal, and quotas for cash has been stricken down in previous case law for decades.
The day Emanuel tries to push raises tied to shithead willingness to commit fucking crimes on the police it will be all over the papers.
And the overwheliming response to police pay being dictated by the fucking criminals will shove that idea so far up Emanuel's asshole he'll think he just got assfucked by king kong.
So take your trolling elsewhere, asshat. You're attempts to start rumors or try to get your bullshit hashed out in the media before the attempts are made just fell as flat as your head.
And to address your attempts to float ficticious rumors about 10% pay cuts, no shit. Of course he's going to attempt to try and use pay cuts as a bargaining threat, he has nothing else other than work hours to use against us.
The kicker is, and what this dumbfuck apparently can't fathom is, that WE hold the cards to this city's future security, NOT Emanuel.
While you'd think these stupidfucks would realize by now that when you fuck with the police they fuck with YOU and everybody you know back, as evidenced by the refusal to pry money from the citizen's pockets for petty offenses, they may not ever learn until it's far too late.
Lesson to remember here for you trolls:
Fuck with the police, watch your city burn while we laugh. We'll only take so much, and we've about had it to the boiling point as it is. Try and fuck us some more and you'll be crying at our feet to come save you.
Emanuel may think he can divide and conquer the CPD. What he needs to learn is WE are the people who can let this city destroy itself or not, and threats against us make his problem worse, not better.
Call in the national guard.... see what reputation THAT get's you here pal!!!
it's treasure hunt time.
see if you can spot the rahmster's hamsters' posts, all attempting to sow the virus seeds of the rahmster's future schemes and scams.
At the time, Com Ed has a gun club range at 23rd and State ( yes, 23rd and State) that we used for no charge. It was a two story building just east of State. I am sure it no longer exist!! 6/12/2011 10:05:00 AM
The building still exists but its abandoned. I am on the swat team and a few years ago we were searching that building for a csa offender. During our search we found the gun range. Needless to say, we were all surprised to find a gun range in that building. We figured it came from the Capone era. Thanks for the history lesson.

The comment by Emmanuel is pure rhetoric... No substance. All it says is that he has confidence; there is no solution or game plan. It figures
6/12/2011 09:00:00 AM
i've got that same kind of confidence, every time i empty a bottle of jack.
Who is at the top of the pile after this violent week end? I just want to know so I can keep all my piles of bullshit straight!
Our distict recieved 5 po's to help the numbers. the only thing they forgot to say about it, we recieved 5 ppo's who will be po's in 2 weeks. lets get real people...now we're babysitting ppo's and hope they become "the real police" what a joke!

Rahm is working on city contracts to link teacher raises to student performance. The thinking is that the contract allows for anywhere between a 0 and 4% raise. Dramatic improvement let's them get 4% while a decline puts their raise at 0%.
There is now a push to link police raises to crime rates at the distrct/area level. High crime districts would get their full raise even if crime slightly rose, while low crime districts would not get the raise unless there was a dramatic decline. This would push more experienced officers to bid into high crime districts and motivate them to work once there. Best yet, the city loses no money because it forces police to earn raises the city would have otherwise just given.
The department is gearing up to get crime down by any means available. Big changes are coming in the next contract. The city is gearing up to get the next contact settled quickly. If the FOP fights them in arbitration, the city is gearing up to propose a 10% across the board pay cut.
Expect the next contract to be settled before this one expires. The big word is absolutely no more retro pay checks. Low interest rates and uncertain market conditions mean there is very little advantage for the city to hold that money while contract negotiations drag on.

Thank god I will be retired before all this shit causes implosion in this city.
Fox News is reporting 150 more officers to be sent to 15 districts that previously didn't receive manpower from TRU/MSG. When all is said and done it said the only 2 districts that won't receive additional manpower will be Central and Jefferson Park.
No mention of where the magicians are coming up with these additional 150 beat officers. Anyone see anything official on this?
good portion of them are ppo's getting of their year......
OT:
Just saw that Dave Matthwews Band Caravan is coming to play a 3 day festival on Chicago's lakefront on Jul 8-10.
Awesome right?
Flocks of suburbanites will swarm to downtown and spend lots of cash, right?
WRONG!
It's at 8500 S. Greenbay Rd!!!
WTF?!?!?!?!
Why don't we just send a couple bus loads of gangbangers out to the suburbs? They could collect $100 from every 18-25 year old and then beat them within an inch of their lives.
Then we could cancel the concert and save a ton of paperwork on robberies, batteries and CSAs.
The Mayor elaborated that he runs a hands-off policy with regards to policing believing that law enforcement professionals like Superintendent Heat should take 100% responsibility for laura norder and that Super' Heat has promised the mayor he has a strategy and the mayor took it on good faith that Super' Heat is on the case which is right and proper given that the mayor takes a hands off approach to policing and leaves it to the 100% responsibility of professionals like Super' Heat who had great references and who the Mayor was assured was up to the task of taking over a big city police department despite some personal misgivings...and in case anyone missed it the Mayor repeated he has great faith in the strategy 100% developed by Super Heat which was 100% him and not the mayor at all...

This was on NBC SUN. nite news, the NETWORK one!
Rahmbo is going to have a fit! GOOD, they are all mentals.
New Boss McCarthy has to eliminate captains or make lt out of grade pay pensionable . It's not fair as a lt we are respnsible for a watch 70 % of the time in some of the busiest districts and not compensated at retirement.
Captains should be reassigned to replace Area Commanders , MLAS ,ERPS , Crime Lab , Narcotics , Public Transportation , or assigned to Areas as Watch CXommander to supervise Lts in the districts.
Captains are 100 % political , most were merit sgt & lt and over 50% of lts didn't apply for the political appointed rank.
6/12/2011 12:27:00 PM
Quit your crying and shut up!!!
You must be a Lt.from a nice cushy northside District. Boo Hoo.
....and I am a Lt.....from the southside.
Wildings made national news on NBC tonight. Story was watered down.
For those that want the city to hire 2000-- not going to happen. City lost 200,000 since last census. I realize many of them were mutts but all police departments are cutting back drastically-- LA- Phoenix- NY- just the way it is. As for the new guy-- same nonsense-- visit the reverends and hug Meeks ( like Cline) -- the new guy is fairly young and has aspirations.
A little advice
1. do your job
2. take care of your family
3. take care of your partner
4. put as much as you can in deferred
5. stay safe
6. retire
7. leave that high cost of living state
Stay safe
old retired guy
This job used to be fun! what happened?
Is Jersey heat better or worse then j-fled?
signed a Po with 12 years on.
"The Tribune (sort of) finally addressed the subject of how they address race issues in news stories...We do not reference race unless it is a fact that is central to telling the story."
Race is absolutely central to this story.
Simple fact of life
Two guys going to buy milk in three different neighborhoods. First guy buys milk, opens it and starts walking home drinking it without looking where he's going, bumps into second guy and accidentally spills some milk on the second guy's reeboks.
First neighborhood the worst that will happen is some angry words.
Second neighborhood the worst that will happen is a fist fight.
Third neighborhood the worst that will happen is reebok guy pulls out a gun and shoots the first guy in the face.
Impulse control.
If one ethnic group has 3% of guys with no self-control and another ethnic group has 9% then the second group will commit three times as many impulse crimes.
However the whole liberal world-view since WWII has been based on everyone being the same so if three times the number of people from one ethnic group are getting arrested it must be discrimination.
So we ended up where the police, the courts, the prisons were all prevented from doing their job for decades because reality doesn't fit what liberals want it to be.
What we've got now is like what you'd get if you had two puppies and every time puppy A messed indoors you punished puppy B. Five years later puppy A would be sh*tting everywhere and puppy B would be a neurotic wreck.
That's why they don't mention race. If the media told the truth about crime and race the whole post-war liberal world view would collapse along with millions of jobs in the race industry.
oh great, now I bet our taxes will go up again.....
A few hundred atm cards with $ on them for you pos bangers to stay out of the loop.....
Remember... spread the wealth
They still haven't responded to the question of why they disable comments on some stories and not others, or of what criteria they use to do so.
---------------
From that article:
"By all indication, these attacks were motivated by theft, not race. Further, there is no evidence to suggest that the victims were singled out because of their race. Therefore we did not include racial descriptions in our initial news reports."
The offenders are all black and the victimes were all not black. Does the Trib want me to believe this is somehow all a coincidence? The bleeding heart liberal journalism in this town makes me sick.
Maybe rahmmy should start with the" wildings" commited by the daleys and vaneckos. one life and over 63.7million later, the citizens are still waiting for justice. Young people need role models, especially if the dont have them at home. For over 30 years 2 generations of chicagoans, have witness the likes if the "i got to get mine" crew. Daley, burke, jackson, meeks, c kelly, a davis, guitierrez, solís, the list goes on. Irish, black, and latino gangsters. Looks like these michigan ave pillagers learn from the worse. Good bless the CPD, stay safe.
So where are these 150 happy campers coming from?
They've pretty much trimmed the depleted department to the bone. The only true,long term solution is to start getting some academy classes going. Rahm will tell you that's not an option but theres no doubt Rahm could fund it if he considered it a high priority.
I think I'll have some ice cream and stay indoors, it's safer there !!!!!!
As long as your house is a brick house you will!

Someone told Rahm the same thing some advisers told Rumsfeld, that they can do the job with less manpower.
The generals were right, we needed several hundred thousand more soldiers in Iraq and we need several thousand more officers right here.
I see the CPD and the City crumbling before my eyes. Quick, get that casino up and running, in circus tents if need be but get the river of money flowing.

+++BREAKING NEWS+++
...in a press conference today Mayor Manny Nine-Fingers and Super' Heat outlined their wilding strategy by introducing Fanny O'Malley the weathergirl from WAKN TV and her Big Board. Each police district marked on the big board will get its own weather forecast and either a happy smiley sunny face or a gwumpy fwumpy wainey face. Po-leece will be moved from rainy districts to sunny districts as the weather changes...
...reports that Fanny O'Malley has been fired after the rainy forecast for Michigan Avenue turned out to be hot and two Japanese tourists were killed and eaten on the sidewalk by wilding honor yout...
...reports that the Mayor and Super Heat's plan B is to perform a naked rain dance on Michigan Avenue from now till the end of summer...
...reports that the mayor has asked if citizens have any eagle feathers could they please send them to the mayor's office...
Why dont they charge the shitbirds with the International Terrorist charge?
6/12/2011 01:17:00 AM
"International"? That’s stretching it, don’t you think? Domestic Terrorism. Those fucks can barely navigate their way between the west side and downtown, do you think that any one of them can pick out Somalia on a map? I’ll bet that they can’t even pick out the USA on a map.
Do you really think just putting police on the street will help. These animals will still come out.
- They don't respect the police
- They know the media will eat this up as the police targeting blacks
- The police don't know and don't trust this new guy, so why stick your necks out and get bitten like Weis did us. Remember Cozi!
And the biggest thing of them all!
- Once they are arrested, the ministers and mommas will be on TV talking about how her straight A student was shopping on the Magnificent Mile, though she is on welfare!

There are only a handful that were actually street cops.

Remember your 2% raise,& Cozzi, etc. when working hard to break up the ghetto locust Flash Mobs.
6/12/2011 02:39:00 PM
...well said.
Cozzi still sits in a fed pen for bitch slapping a piece of shit with a rap sheet 20 pages long...plus, he already did his time on that (suspension). Armed robbers and home invaders get less time than that...thanks JFled, you will ALWAYS be remembered by that cowardly move.
Also, the 2% didn't cover the increase in medical insurance payments (coupled with the decrease in our dental); let alone the exorbitant costs of putting your kids through private school, food on the table (no LINK or free breakfast and lunch here), mortages/rent (no section 8 here), utility bills (no extra gov. help here), etc. Isn't it great that illegals are now eligible for college scholarships??? How much did your kid get?? I'm betting nothing or $1,000 unsubsidized gov loan. Not only that, illegals FROM OTHER STATES will be eligible for the scholarships as well as IN-STATE TUITION. Your U.S.born nephew or niece from Michigan who would like to attend the U of I are not eligible for this luxury.
Keep voting democratic in this fucked-up city, county and state and the leadership from politicians to superintendents will continue to suck.
Surely he meant to say:
"But I'm confident in the public safety of our city regardless of what gentrified neighborhood you live in."
I'm rooting for McCarthy. He's a mentally tough son-of-a-bitch. And he has a plan, where as the previous regime was beyond clueless. I think McCarthy will end up as one of our best superintendents, but he has a very weak supporting cast. There's going to be a shitload of changes at the exempt level.
if he sticks to accountability, i want to see who is the first commander to lose the spot, and if that happens then we know he means business. if it doesnt happen, then we know the revs are once again calling the shots.
personally I like McCarthy. I met him and talked to him like a regular copper for 10-15 minutes. maybe hes like a politician and says the right things but quite frankly thats more than the last jagoff did. Give him a chance, hes at least the police. Or WAS before getting a white shirt. Ha
The Sup. came to Chicago and already shit on the hard working police officers from the units. Didn't evaluate , just did what a good yes man does. So far so bad.
Will he be a leader or lackey??
