Overnight Carnage

Officials are attempting to blame this on the heat also, but they're having trouble getting around all the bullet holes:
  • Four people are dead and at least 12 others were wounded in overnight shooting incidents in Chicago, police said.
  • No one was in custody for any incident and area detectives were investigating.
Reports of another homicide at the 43rd Street beach are in our comment section, but only appears as a "critical condition" in the BreakingNews.com story. Expect that one to be corrected in a bit. That means we've had about three homicides on the beaches already, all due to "heat."

Another commentator relates that Chicago has had 28 murders in 13 days. That's a pretty good clip. Someone should really do something about this since the "cooler by the lake" motto doesn't hold up under all these heat emergencies.

Oh, and Nordstrom and Water Tower report roving bands of shoplifters and battery offenders roaming unchecked throughout the area.

Did we miss anything?

Four murders last night alone!

That's about the 39th murder since "McCarthy
the Great" took office on the 16th of May 2011.
That's about 2 murders a days so far.
We keep this up we'll just about double our murder rate from last year.

No but wait. Jfed experienced the same thing.
He called it a year of "transition" and blamed the spike in crime on the inexperienced Commanders not being familiar
with their new Districts right? I wonder what excuse will be used with "McCarthy the Great" when the numbers sky rocket this year?

What are the odds when the savages are out on the streets when schools are out? Being a KMA member 2 years to go I have never before observed the behavior of the savages more often than now shooting at police! Why? simple answer is low manpower, but the endemic structure of the failed daley administration and of course the mike madigans and his crew in Springfield have led to the destruction of a once proud city,a once proud CPD! I personally pray that no coppers get killed or hurt in the "killing fields" of shitcago! You think mcCheese will bring about change that would better the Blue shirt working copper? How about he first of all gets BILL COZZI freed that would be a brave move,that a man with valor would step up and do! he won't do it because he is a puppet like jfled plain and simple and now with the whopper lie of why beaches were closed what next will he tell us that the streets are paved with gold? Stop the lies sir we know rhahmbo pulls the strings but we thought you were a copper first ahh guess not!

I like how the news story says,

Yep he was just walking along the road. No mention of it occurring at the beach. Wouldn't want to imply that for some reason the beaches are dangerous.

How can the alderpeople, all of them, and too many of our state lawmakers, and some policemen, continue to believe that passing more gun control laws will halt or decrease the blood bath that is the city of Chicago?

AND one shot in the head on the beach at 43rd street. Putting 500 coppers back in the district to handle "open hydrant disturbances" was a real great use of manpower. I know of 500 coppers watching the city burn and laughing their a$$es off.

Stay out of downtown and the near north shopping areas. Go to the suburbs. Plenty of parking and security.

So what? This happens every single year and everyone always makes a huge deal about it. Every year around march everyone says that its gonna be the bloodiest summer ever. Then as soon as it heats up for about three weeks it goes wild and everyone starts getting excited and freaked out about how its out of control... Then the dog days of summer hit and it evens out with a pretty steady stream of shootings and homicides everyday. Dont forget, last year they were calling for the national guard.. yet there were about 30 less homicides then the year before. Now all of a sudden everyone is back saying how the city is burning... If you guys think this is bad then you have no idea what this city was like when the buildings were up. the late 80s and 90s were wild... this is just typical ghetto nonsense violence. This is a major city, this type of crime happens and it will continue to happen. I love it how everyones panties get moist over the homicides and shootings... Act like youve been there before.. this is nothing new

Last night North Avenue Beach was closed down again and Water Tower place was over run at Nordstroms by groups of "You guessed it again." GANGBANGERS!!! Tourists stay away from Chicago it's not safe here. Surbanites spend your money elsewhere we can't protect you anymore. We as police have no tools to protect you. The ACLU, Jesse Jackson, the US Attorney's office, and the Cook County States Attorney has made it clear. Anybody can do whatever they want, whenever they want. And if the police try to stop gangbangers from exercising their rights, they (the police) are subject to prosecution. Good luck Chicago. You have been overrun. Tourists, citizens, and suburban visitors use your better judgement and stay far away from downtown Chicago. You are simply in danger everytime you come here.

yeah... but sorry, you really dont deserve dick because you havent done dick on this job in 20 years.. the only thing you have done is told all your frinends and family members about how your such a hero at work when in reality you have never done a thing.. why reward some moron who hasnt made an arrest, filled out a contact card, written a legit case report and is a pro at dodging jobs making his fellow beat officers pick up the slack on his beat.. nah. Seniority should be used for many things on this job but when it comes to dogs who have never done a damn thing on this job it should go out the window... the only thing youve got going for you is that you have time on the job... nevermind the fact youve done absoutly nothing and are horrible at your job but thats all you got.. a piece of paper saying you have worn a blue shirt for a really long time... never passing those tests, never getting in trouble, never being productive and never making that rank.. just a hire date... thats the only thing you can hang your hat on. At least in 28 years on the job I can say I have worked.. I dont continuously rub it into the younger coppers faces about how im awesome because ive got time on.. you don't impress people with your time on the job, you impress people by how you conduct yourself on this job. quit being a stroke.

McCarthy is to be sent packing courtesy of the City Council, which declares his interim status null and void.

The refusal to approve his contract will be "justified" by last weekend's "Beachgate" and the mayhem predicted this weekend, courtesy of "Suburbanite Heat".

They (Rahm & Co.) set him up for the big fall, and he took the bait... hook, line & sinker. But even those who choreographed this didn't think it'd happen so quickly - they planned on his departure around the same time the 90 day TRU & MSF detail ends. This is why Wysinger got called-up from AAA.

Watch for Al to take the reigns in the coming weeks ONLY if Mike Shields (as in Michelle's "cuzzo") declines the offer. I'm got stories to tell and information to provide prior to my not-too-distant retirement, so what I hear, YOU'LL HEAR, SCC.

I am not a policeman. I think you guys are warriors. To deal with the element every day and drive around in harms way is only understood by people who do it. Nobody but a REAL cop knows what it is to be a REAL cop. Not some fancy pants part time cop with stuff hanging all over their belt, but a REAL CHICAGO COP who used to be able to kick ass, chase down and pummel the scumbags who cause the mayhem.

Now we are watching on cameras like mall security guards? Predicting crime on a computer?

Seriously, I was downtown last weekend and actually witnessed the scumbag gang banging element with my own eyes.

You dont need 1000 more cops, you need somebody with some balls to call you all in and say..... GO OUT AND KICK SOME ASS, INSTILL FEAR IN THESE LOW LIFE, SUBHUMAN CRIMINALS AND DONT STOP UNTIL THEY ARE IN FEAR OF THE POLICE.

Sitting their watching the same yuppy, liberal bike riding spandex wearing residents who hand cuffed you cops many years ago, and seeing the element take over their beloved down town made me sick to my stomach.

The new Police Superintentdant is not to blame, that goofy FBI wanna be police Superintendant wasnt to blame, it is the politicians who created this with firings, media bs and letting the scum take over.

If Rahm Emmanuel would stand before the podium and declare the real truth about who and why we are littered with bullet ridden bodies and subspecial animals who prey on the weak and create fear in the citizens who count, and declare that his first order is to restore order at ANY COST, we could get our streets back.

GOD BLESS EVERY COP WHO IS OUT ANSWERING RADIO CALLS EVERY MINUTE OF EVERY DAY AND PUTTING HIS LIFE ON THE LINE TO KEEP ORDER IN A CITY THAT DOES NOTHING IN RETURN BUT MAKE THEM LOOK BAD?

Can the powers that be explain why only 8 districts received a boost in manpower from MSF/TRU? Isn't the entire department,specifically Patrol, understaffed? I'm pretty sure some of these shootings and homicides happened in some of the districts not deemed as worthy of additional manpower.

Would you take your family to a country that you knew was run by a totalitarian dictator who controlled the press and limited the freedoms of the citizens by trampling the constitution to further his own goals?

One where he lied constantly to the people and expected them to believe his nonsense while a bunch of nodding heads and yes men stood behind him and applauded out of fear?

A place where the crime was so connected to the government that it was unsafe to walk the streets? A place where the government stole from the people and gave them nothing in return but consistently limited public services and higher taxes and fees?

THEN WHY WOULD YOU COME TO CHICAGO?

He's not exactly man. He may be a spirit...

He's everywhere and nowhere at all.

Until he actually appears.

He doesn't walk... He doesn't run... But he get's around quite nicely.

He's rumored to have a black sedan... A grim grinner with a glass eye as his driver.

I have been there before, and in those projects in the 90's. That doesn't mean that my family, who is forced to live in this shit hole city, should expect to be accosted or attacked when downtown or at the fucking beach, tough guy.

This is a serious problem that the assholes this city elected have ignored and are now lying about. I don't give a fuck how bad it was back in the day when you were a bad ass cop. It's bad enough now that my family is at risk in the best parts of this city.

G-Puppet needs to shut down the streets, having worked at the beaches to avert further heat related problems, this would prevent further shootings. I'm sure that the statistical unit could come up with the streets most likely to have a homicide committed on it. Just think police won't allow anyone to travel down a street due to the possibilty of a homicie occurring.

Did you see the breakingnews.com story on the half marathon being canceled because of HEAT.

Yeah one person died from the HEAT. 11 more were sent to the hospital.

(which many will interpret as heat related but the private ambulance drivers had no comment on their conditions so who knows!)

CFD basically said leave us out of this we didn't dispatch any ambulances and we don't know anything about it n so many words..haha..

What's amazing though for the poor excuse for journalism.

As of the 4:30 pm version of this story what I find amazing is that there is not a single temperature reading quoted. Not one.

We know the race time started at 7:13am, was red flagged at 8:51am and blacked flagged at 9.15am

http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/news/local/chibrknews-man-dies-after-south-side-race-ended-due-to-heat-20110604,0,1149890.story

So I went over to the NOAA.gov web site that has the hourly readings for Midway Airport

10 AM (14) Jun 04 82.9
09 AM (13) Jun 04 80.1
08 AM (12) Jun 04 77.0
07 AM (11) Jun 04 75.0

http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/current/KMDW.html

Has to be even cooler by the lake right?

I'm not saying this was gang related however..Nice try at providing cover for the earlier b.s. on North Ave. beach huh.

At this rate just shut down all the lakefront fest coming up.

It's too hot -- 88 degrees is too hot and now 82.9 ...80...77..75 degrees is too hot.

Makes you wonder how they pull off all those triathlons year after year in places like Hawaii don't it?

Oh and I'd like to know specifically what the other 11 racers were treated for don't you?

Don't like the citywide violence but there are many compelling reasons to not really give a shit
1. Cook county juries hate us
2. Cook county judges sometimes hate us
3. Anita Alvarez really hates us
4. Powerful Illinois politicians are actively looking for ways to reduce our pensions after they themselves have underfunded these pensions for years
5. The liberal media hates us and has for decades
6. The conservative media increasingly has actively been portraying us as greedy pension recipients, ignoring what we have paid into the pension system and our inability, through statute, to get what we put into Social Security back
7. Hard work on this job is not now and has never been rewarded
8. Training on this job, especially for those of us assigned to patrol, sucks. Very little ongoing training occurs after the academy and the training in the academy is not very good. Class work and physical skills are diluted to accommodate the least skilled and intelligent recruits. Positions in the academy for instructors often go to officers who are not themselves competent and who actually prosecuted very few cases.
9. IPRA/IAD are highly politicized and Officers guilty of administrative offenses of a very minor nature often are punished much more severely than officers who committed serious transgressions. Clout always trumps conduct in this city and this clout results in wildly disproportionate disciplinary punishments. Officers' administrative rights are regularly compromised and most officers never get just outcomes for these violations.
11. Our equipment is poorly maintained and out of date. This puts out safety at risk regularly. No one really cares about this deficiency.
10. Sorry Chicago but in this environment it makes very little sense to put one's heart in this game. Family and officer safety come first. Only a fool would sacrifice himself or his family for a felon. It took me many years of police work to learn this truism but many IODs and lawsuits later I'm glad I did.

We keep this up we'll just about double our murder rate from last year.

I think we should put up one of those counters that you find at the meat counter.

You know, the now serving number "XX" thing. Mount it out at the airport and have it count the number of murders in the city so all the incoming transients can see it.

Or we might make it a district level thing and find some place to hang it idk.

Every time another one goes down... someone get's to go out and pull the chain to advance the counter. A great moral booster.

It would have to be more then two digits though.

We just blend all the crews together.

I wish the ILGA could have passed the concealed weapon law. I see many cops (at least I am assuming they are cops) suggest citizens carry weapons anyway. My guess is that is asking for trouble. I can't imagine being treated as a hero by the city for dispatching a "disadvantaged youth" from the South Side.

They're just glorified go-fers, whose most critical job is to make sure Daley never has to park at a curb or walk through a crowd of the commoners.

I went to the beach today with my kids. One man car was there sporadically to check for village parking stickers. There were about 50 teenagers. 50 young kids and assorted moms' and dad's. A few people fishing on the edges. Besides a little harmless grabass, a short throw the big kid in the water wrestling match, some frisbee smacks to the wrong person, the worse thing was a few swans coming by with their baby swans, and they gotta alittle aggressive.
I lived in Chicago for 43 years. Moved out 3 years ago. Never looked back.

"By the by, how's that $ 25 million bicycle bridge working out for you North Ave. beach patrons? Just some sarcasm,
I know it's not built yet, but may the Mayor should reconsider and hire more Police instead even though the " deals " have been made."

--6/04/2011 11:52:00 AM

Hey, they built a new bike path bridge over into Maywood, too, and there are certainly no groups of hostile young black men blocking the Illinois Prairie Path out there, either.

The North Avenue bridge is prospectively the world's most spectacular high-altitude garbage pail, linear urinal, spray-paint-catcher, and mugger trap. High bridges are EXTREMELY dangerous places to get caught by a group. Central Avenue over the Milwaukee Road tracks, Laramie over the BN yards in Cicero...

What, you're going to put cameras up there to get home movies of people being thrown over the side?

Did anyone else happen to catch Acting Supt. Garry McCarthy's interview the other night on CLTV? Yes, the usual "softball" questions from the host/moderator and yes the usual "whatcha goin' to do wit' bad cops" question from a caller. But the most telling comment came from McCarthy when he described, and I am paraphrasing it a bit, the "Oliver Stone-like conspiracy" involving the shutdown of North Avenue beach last week because of gang fights/flash mobs/wilding. Yes, the man invoked Oliver Stone's name. Quite the movie buff,our new Supt.

One reason for the lack of respect for CPD cops is that in his 20-some years in office, liberal police-hater Daley ran off a lot of really good, and very tough Coppers off the job. Now the college boys and girls are here and they honestly are incapable of controlling the savages and maintaining order on the streets. Weasel bosses, States Attorneys, Judges, and money-hungry lawyers contributed to this murderous violent mess also. Liberalism is the main problem. You simply cannot make an omlette without cracking some eggs. You cannot stop this horriffic violence without using superior violence, if necessary. Even the 6th Grade educated gangbangers are smart enough to realize this, and just laugh at the handcuffed police efforts to control them. The entire country is just far too Liberal, and the Period of Ultra-Violence in America is only beginning. May God Bless all Police Officers trying to do their thankless job.

Never will the police department adopt your capricious and arbitrary "hard workers get first pick" bullshit methodology of determining assignment.

It's exactly BECAUSE it's political and is always violated on opinion and asskissing that SENIORITY will always rule assignment.

Get over it little kid, get some time on the job and then come talk tough about how you think some young punk who doesn't know shit but what he reads in the paper should have that "choice" assignment over YOUR ass just because he can run faster than you.

If you have 28 years on then you understand how hard we fought for senority rights and a union. Remember life before FOP and a contract? Every decision based on the whim of a Irish boss. Back in the 1980's they fucked us over with DOG's, weekends, details. assignments, transfers. We will never give up senority. No one is stopping you from working in your beat car. Think about this. In the last 7 years, who trained and guided new PPO's after the academy? The FTO program is bullshit. Now we have a percentage of officers that do not have the knowledge to perform effective police work. I appreciate your work ethic, but never challenge the basic work rights we have today. Imagine life without work rules? The current crop of bosses will absolutely fuck us over.

I have to disagree with this post, at some points. Don't be pissed that a guy/girl wants to go to a unit to try something new. A lot of times, an officer needs a change of venue. They get disappointed when the tact teams are staffed with people who don't do shit, no one calls them on it, and there is no chance to make the tact team. These young officers just want a chance to prove themselves. Those that were ungraciously dumped with 4 days notice, weren't upset about having to work a beat car, or answer jobs. They were moreso upset with the lack of notice of reassignment, and or the lengthy drive they now have to undertake. In addition, most of these officers took pride in the mission they undertook while in MSF and TRU. They really thought they were making a little bit a difference in what they set out to accomplish each night. were there some there just for the ride, absolutely, but a lot were proud of what they were trying to accomplish. Sometimes, it may have been misunderstood, but I really think these officers tried and gave a shit about what they were trying to do.

So far, they have been stellar where I work. Running around, answering jobs, doing the right thing. I'm thankful for what they were doing in the units, and now I'm thankful for what they are doing in the district. These young officers are ambitious, thats all they are guilty of, don't hate them for what you used to be, or never were. Maybe they came of the job for something different than you did. I understand the contractual protections, its not their intent to "give" them up, but when they are offered an opportunity to try something new and exciting its hard to turn that down.

As far as the homicides and shootings... they are still occurring mainly in the ghetto. The victims and offenders trade places every-other-day, and the innocent folks (as opposed to what the media wants you to believe) are RARELY (but not never) the victims.

Stay out of the high crime areas and remove the possibility of being the random innocent victim. Then let these thugs take care of each other! The numbers will climb until they kill each other off!

After the liberals from near north see how the urban youth act, they may be forced to change their views! This is probably a very needed exposure.

As far as the suburbanites....KEEP yourselves and your children, out of the danger zone! If you keep your head in the sand and ignore the danger warnings, you WILL be a victim. It is amazing how many unexposed suburbanites believe that the extent of crime is overrated. These are the same people who will frequent the beaches (despite warnings), insist on lakefront evening walks, attend concerts in the area at Northerly Island and the new Lakeside venue. I warn everyone I know, don't send your teenagers to Lakeside in the middle of July (or any other time for that matter). There is a guarantee that there will be many victims!!!

If you Keep your head in the sand then I promise you, you will be dealing with the remorse when you or your family become victims!

I know you get taken care of in a unit most of the time, but is it really that great that you let the city shit on the contract. Stop going to the bs units and giving up contractual rights. Hang in the districts and let the city management fail because they refuse to play fair.

A very good point. Those units exist to skirt contractual rights of officers. If no one went there, they would have to at least let the union give the officers assigned there the right to return to their original districts.

Won't happen, though. Cops go for themselves more often than not.

So far, they have been stellar where I work. Running around, answering jobs, doing the right thing. I'm thankful for what they were doing in the units, and now I'm thankful for what they are doing in the district. These young officers are ambitious, thats all they are guilty of, don't hate them for what you used to be, or never were. Maybe they came of the job for something different than you did. I understand the contractual protections, its not their intent to "give" them up, but when they are offered an opportunity to try something new and exciting its hard to turn that down.

I have no doubt that they have been stellar in the districts they have been reassigned to. I am sure many of them are excellent coppers. That was not the point of my post. They could have stayed put in the districts and been stellar coppers with out giving up the contractual coverage. This is not the same police department from years past. Going to a unit to make a difference no longer exists. When a cop goes to a unit today all they are doing is placing themselves in a trick bag to be dumped or sued. Also, you and I both know the old adage get out of patrol as soon as you can. That is what they were doing, they did not think they were making a difference. That use to be true, get out of patrol as soon as you can, but that mentality is what put patrol in the position it is today. We all know what dire straits this entire department is in, and it is not all of the cities fault, many of the blue shirts can take some of the blame also.

McNocchio says when a suburbanite takes the life of another suburbanite within the corporate limits of the city, it counts as a suburban homicide.

The qualification to be considered a suburbanite is to have used a suburban address as your official address at any point in time within the last 20 years.

The dang suburbanites are ruining our city!

Geez, wouldn't it be a help if they offered a physical description of the attackers? So maybe people could stay out of potential harms way?
