The Wall of Lies Crumbles
A number of emergency calls on Memorial Day could pose a credibility problem for Mayor Rahm Emanuel and his new police superintendent.
The official word from city officials has been that North Avenue Beach was closed that holiday due to concerns for public health. But calls made by beach-goers to Chicago's Office of Emergency Management and Communications seem to support claims that gang activity was also at play.
"There's a fight breaking out on the beach, because there's nothing but animals covering this beach today," one caller is heard saying in recordings obtained by WLS-AM radio through a Freedom of Information Act request.
"You can't even walk along the bike path or ride along the bike path. There's the crowd control. What the hell is going on?" the caller fumes.
And the bigger the lie, the bigger the rush to defend it:
In a statement released late Thursday evening, police officials said the release of the calls changes nothing, and maintained that the decision to close the beach was made "in the interest of public safety and public health."
Indeed, with temperatures in the 90s, about a half-dozen people at North Avenue Beach were treated for heat exhaustion. Police Supt. Garry McCarthy said ambulances could not get to victims.

The Tribune story on the same topic says and shows evidence directly opposite of ABC 7. They also blocked comments.
I think something fishy is going on. Actually i know and have known for a while.
I dream of vigilantes. I want to be one.
well...... thats pretty damning evidence to me. So what now mr mayor and McSupe??? I think the lies need to stop, already. Less than two months in office and both of these goofs are already lying, getting into bed with special interests(reverunds) and doing exactly what your not suppose to do. this could be a long four years.
"There's a fight breaking out on the beach, because there's nothing but animals covering this beach today,"
now thats f'ing golden.
Those werent CFD Captains and Cheifs in those white shirts that day at North Ave beach. The News had video taped (channel unk) a huddle of at least five white shirts out side the North Ave Beach house. If the calls were all about the heat then CPD wouldnt have showed up in mass numbers. This cluster of CPD brass made the call, and now the new mayor and his new Supt. are gonna have to eat this. Nice try but no stogie buttheads!!!
GMac is now realizing that this is not Newark. This is the big league.
Between his bald faced lie about why the beach was closed and his ill advised pandering at St. Sabina he's off to a very rocky start.
" It's not the heat -- it's the lack of humility"
They'll never learn will they?
The cover-up is always worse than the original lie.
If I had the opportunity, let's say I was a reporter, my question to the Superintendent would be this, "As far as the information you gave on the closure of Oak Street Beach on Memorial Day, you lied, were uninformed, or misinformed as to the real reason, which is it?"
Wtf arent you stupid people listening? The "truth" doesnt change anything we have claimed!..hey rham still think "'you have a night stick u need to get out and use it ill back you up" i'l never forget that one at flisks benefit. LIFM
SCC, if anyone in this city needs a bodyguard detail, IT'S YOU!!!
How do I apply for the job?
SCC, if they ever find out who you are they're gonna skewer you and then throw you on the barbey.
"They" are the ballerino and McStupid. And I'm sure Jody and Shorty'd like to see you sizzle!

Watch 35th Street "circle the wagons" on this one. Does the new Supe have a contract? If not, might be time to send out his resume.
0555 hours..Ch. 5 news, another mob attack on the mag mile.
SCC, just saw this on Chicago Breaking News--will make you vomit:
"Monument Planned for Police Torture Victims"
WTF is this world coming to?
Never trust a mayor who always smiles like the village idiot & a Police Superintendent who has the mayors hand up his ass pulling strings to make him spew pre-recorded messages.
Big Ears taught Rahm really well. Lie all you want but smile when doing it.
I wonder if Blacks will be complaining about the mayor & supt. calling them "heat concerns" ?????????
Told you guys on June 5, 2011 after I heard the calls on the radio show.
Now do you understand why Daley mumbled and talked gibberish much of the time?
Most couldn't understand much of what Daley was saying so few could interpret his double talk and call him a liar.
In a statement released late Thursday evening, police officials said the release of the calls changes nothing, and maintained that the decision to close the beach was made "in the interest of public safety and public health."
All this means is that they were remiss in their duty to protect the public. Essentially, with one lie they are covering up their neglect on the other end.
Once again, they think decent citizens are blind, deaf and dumb.
They're an odd bunch, politicians. They really live in a bubble of their own making.

Saw the video from Sabina what a pathetic excuse for a Mc suffering from white guilt...can I get an amen?
Schmear is going to be embarrassed now.
C'mon, who ya gonna believe? Me or your own eyes?
I can't believe the media is this stupid. Taxpayers are fed up. They are seething and yet the media keeps putting baby mama drama in your face everyday on the front page and the five o'clock news. If they want ratings, they need to flip the switch. And the fact that they don't, makes it pretty obvious that they are not in any way, shape or form, a free press.
---not a cop
O.K...those are the 911 calls. Where are the dispatch/radio traffic. Don't tell me the media didn't request those. As Paul Harvey (RIP) used to say.."and now you know...the rest of the story." Radio traffic should tell it all.
They just keep lying like the public is going to buy it. Why not just tell the truth, assholes? You let the thugs get out of control and had to take action.
Welcome to the communist propaganda administration. More bullshit to come soon.
At first, I was happy to have him as our Supt. I thought, hoped, he would do well. He appeared to have a decent record in Newark. I wanted him last time and instead got the "silly experiment" (to quote one retired boss). But, after the lies about North Ave Beach being closed due to HEAT, and the pandering at St Sabina's, It will be hard for him to earn my respect as my Supt. "Government-sponsored racism"? Give-me-a-fucking-break! What an asinine statement.
RH
This was the top story on NBC 5 10 o'clock news last night. first they started with the 911 calls from the beach which clearly demonstrated the gang related violance. Then ran the disgusting St. Sabina clip. Has the 5th floor run out of Kool Aid?
Notice how the 911 callers fail to give an accurate description of the offenders. To all you civilians out there, call it as you see. 911needs an accurate description in order to relay that info to the officers in the field. Do not let political correctness jeopardize your safety.
This story is on every network now. Again, we look like a bunch of fools. Thanks alot!
"There's a fight breaking out on the beach, because there's nothing but animals covering this beach today,"
now thats f'ing golden
*********
I'm suprised they actually played that particular recording!
Yeah, the Tribune makes a point of pointing out that "many of the calls" were not about gang activity or violence.
I guess there's an outside possibility that they were hedging or the writer simply doesn't know what "many" implies, but the clear implication is that there were at least some 911 calls about out-of-control violence. If you start with a given number of calls and tell me that "many of them" did not pertain to violence, that means the number that did pertain to violence would be the total number of calls minus "many of them." That leaves us with a non-zero number of calls about violence.
Even that isn't the whole story, because the assumption on which the Tribune's (and the Mayor's) case rests is that if there weren't 911 calls about group violence and intimidation on the beaches, then the beaches weren't closed for that reason. That would assume that whoever made that call didn't get any reports from the beaches through any channel except a review of 911 calls, nor did they visit the area and see it for themselves.
890 A.M. WLS Just quoted the blog. Said police have been responding to beach calls for 100 years. Probably longer. (I know u said CFD). Then the woman said we should read the secondcitycop blog because it is "very eye opening." keep up the good work. Everyone deserves the truth.
(OT) Even channel 5 has the link to the video up!
http://www.nbcchicago.com/blogs/ward-room/
Then there is a wonder why people do not trust authority......a wonder why we don't trust politicians....a wonder why we don't trust government. Why should we trust the misfacts when the real fact were being told and then denied. INTERESTING......
This is just sad but we all knew it ALL OF US. Thanks SCP I am not a copper, and you all aren't perfect, but I am glad you are there on the ground and in cyberspace.

Let's reveal again for the uniformed! Who is SCC? You ever get up in the morning,look outside and breath in fresh air? Ever wonder at the cloud patterns? Ever think of how the truth needs to told? Ever want to "vent" as a copper that upset's you?
SCC, will make you laugh,cry and everything in-between. The best way to describe SCC I guess it would be the "Spirits of the Air," the true voice of the beat up, tired,stressed,underpaid,over worked,non-clouted beat cop.
The tribune's version states that only a very few calls even mention "gang" problems. Liars to the end.
where is Paul Kersey when you need him? From his member's only jackets, to his take no crap persona, that is what this city (country for that matter) needs.
PS, is that sabina video legit? I was crapping my pants watching that shit, that is unlike any catholic church I have ever been in. The funniest comment of them all was where one of your readers stated that "can I have someone follow me around playing that music in the background when I talk..."
Funny shit, made my week. Feel sorry for all of you CPD, have a good friend who is one of you, and I pray for him and all of you everyday, what a hell hole Chicago has become.
Sounds like a rule 14 violation.
My wife and I accidentally rode our bikes through that throng around 5pm on Memorial Day. We were slightly separated and a large black 'kid' came up to my 115 lb wife and kicked her bike trying to start a fight. She fortunately did not respond and I didn't see or else we could of been one of those who were beaten and thrown in the lake.
A group of 300-400 black kids harassing every white cyclist/pedestrian they saw. What a joke the media and city government response has been.
We all thought McCarthy would be a good change gor us , now we know he's worse than JFLED .
How's McPuppet for his name
The Trib ignores the tapes where folks are talking about animals on the beach and people getting knocked off bikes and kicked. It's shameful but the paper's editors apparently have no moral compass.

A male caller who said he worked at the Oak Street Beach food and concessions stand said, “We have a couple of gentlemen who are threatening to shoot us, threatening to whip our a . . . trying to take our own equipment.”
It didn't take him long to alienate himself. The rest of his time in Chicago will be very lonely unless he finds some political hacks to surround himself with.

I bet that SCC could make themselves public and have a damn nice lawsuit if there were any attempts at revenge by way of their jobs. Unless the department can prove theft of internal documents of something similar it is all 1st amendment protected.
Even the ACLU might take that case on.
OT: I am really shocked that no one has pointed out how numerous qualified Sgts were passed up for a spot on the JTTF for a Sgt who was promoted for less than 6 months. Her qualifications? Seems being Peterson's gal pal is enough to do it. Way to go Ms Martin. I'm glad they don't take qualified people over there.
This clown will never be able to look in the face of a Chicago police officer and have any credibility. His tru colors have shown.
As for spinning Lies Rahm Emmanuel is the MASTER. You will never get this little weasel to tell the truth about anything. As for McGruff I watched his little vaudville act at St. Sabina and I am....speechless!
Getting rid of Summer Mobile was one of the stupidest things this Dept ever did,Let the beat car cover his beat and 5000 people on a beach.Morons
The Eagle and the Serpents
Such discord now 'tween you and us,
Mainstream Media and populace:
You envenom all that we hold dear,
And revel in those things we fear.
You denigrate our national pride
Taking always now the others' side.
A Media mamba, a poisonous pest
That lurks within our Eagle's nest.
You arrogant adders puffed with pride,
We know truth's on our Eagle's side;
And care not what you snakes declare,
We've had it with your venomous fare.
Our Eagle soars above your wrath,
Your tortured, twisted serpents' path.
From your low crawl, you fail to see,
Our Eagle strikes have set men free.
Now the Eagle from his lofty post,
Looks down upon your hissing host,
Who poison every good intent,
With noxious toxins you invent.
Like diamondbacks you loudly rattle,
Strike fear in those you deem but cattle;
But your cattle now look to the sky,
See the Eagle soaring, and know you lie.
Can you Media serpents win this fight?
Bring our Eagle down from newfound height?
No longer now caged up by you,
Only negative news to shape our view.
The Internet set our Eagle free,
Now we can hear, now we can see.
A Mainstream Media hissing lies,
Spitting blinding venom in our eyes.
Our Eagle's spied you false purveyors,
Just negative fools and foul naysayers.
The Eagle knows now he is right,
That he's with honor in this fight.
And despite your biting fanged attacks,
He'll land upon your serpent backs;
An image that should give you pause:
A thrashing snake in Eagle's claws.

Off topic , but there is another deal in the works to have the fire dept. handle all the diving operations that the Marine Unit handles, if anyone has any info it would be interesting and a big loss for the dept.
Where are the LSD pod cameras at, did they have a heat emcy. and leave also?
The main problem is that the closing for heat was a main story. The follow up of what really happened is way in the middle of the broadcast or paper.
Some will never hear the follow up. That was the plan the whole time. The city that works.
OT tribune says burke entitled to 4 body guards why doesn't tuff guy mccarthy remove 2 body guards right now and take away that fancy crown vic and replace it with a marked tahoe
cpd should ask a judge to vacate the court order from day of council wars with harold washington
mccarthy never read the court order just repeats what his boss tells him to say
cpd we are fkd with another spineless leader
he will allow 1 man cars and children shot down like dogs , 7 yr old rape victims in burkes 14 ward but afraid to take away any body guards
new york tuff guy , were we better off with jfled
I can remember going to North Ave beach several years ago and it was the safest place in the world. There were police on three wheel motorcycles up and down the beach and police regulating traffic in the parking lot. What happened?
liars the new supt lies to public ,
fails to research court order that permits only 4 body guards for burke , doesn't remove neely or daley body guards , no court order protecting them .
north ave beach closed because of heat , yeah heat from the gang bangers fighting and knocking folks off their bikes
go back to new york , another outsider over their head
mcliar hasn't been given permission to dump 1 commander yet
promotes a triple merit to # 2 in cpd , oh yeah change we can believe in , did he tell the parishoners of sabina how many body guards daley has while they worry about kids being shot everyday in the parks
Hey can anyone tell me if he got sanctified!!!!
bye bye Jersey Shore
The thing with the media is on the one hand they'll want to cover up as always because of the race angle but at the same time they must be going crazy itching to chase a prize scalp - white big city boss po-leece.
***************QUIZ Time*************
Can you guess what company received the contract for all CPD recruit processing as all the coppers have been dumped. Hint Hillard was no dummy,a huge pension, all the contracts and now this new company connected to grandpa terry! The Chicago way goes on!!
Chicago Breaking had the comments open for about an hour before they closed them for mysterious reasons... I guess that reason would be something like “The Truth”.
SCC, you were batting a thousand yesterday. The lead story on channel 7 was about how the mayor and McNocchio lied about the wilding on North Avenue beach.
Then, the second story was about another wilding/shoplifting spree on Chicago and Michigan.
Oh, yeah; then, later, there was that little tidbit that Ald. Burke is now WILLING TO REVISIT THE NEED FOR HIS BODYGUARD DETAIL.
You were three for three yesterday. Don't doubt for a minute that the wildings would never have been covered if not for this site, that the North Ave beach fiasco would never have been exposed if not for this site, or that the lunacy of a quarter-century old so-called court order for a protective detail wouldn't have been considered without this site.
The pity of it is, our major news outlets are now GETTING their news stories from a blog. And such an insignificant one, to boot. As always, thanks for being there.
chicago tribune is writing what city hall tells them to write. they state that there were calls about traffic congestion and a drunk guy. Give me a break!!!!!

not exactly.
they believe decent citizens are apathetic non-voters.
they are correct in that belief.
the fact that they are controlling our governments is proof of this belief.
the question that lingers is: will their belief remain true?
McPuppet keeps getting himself deeper and deeper in the shit following the Ballerina...McPuppet best understand that this aint Newark...
So now that this liar has been caught lying, does anyone believe the lies that there will be more officers at the Taste but the liar can't disclose how many for security reasons, and the big whopper lie, they'll be in plain clothes so you probably won't see them?
McMoron didn't say it was the heat, he said it was the humidity.
big iad investigastion in 017th dist on midnights seems someone sent threatening e-mails to veteran officer. they have ip addresses and everything.technology is a mf'er...civil suit work is pending according to cohorts.....cha- ching
they re not liars...they re just change their opinions every 2 seconds
good thing weather is cool for the opening day of the taste
close the beach it's hot
court order prevents me from removing body guards from burke
political pressure prevents me from removing bodyguards from daley and neeley
hey for $249K a year i'm in as a yes man , i'm no fool
POOR MAC?
ANOTHER GUY WHO GOTZ A DEGREE AND KNOWS HOW TO SPOUT "BUZZ" WORDS LIKE MORE WITH LESS AND IM CONDUCTING AND INTERNAL INVESTIGATION!
CMON MORE UNDER-COVERS AT THE TASTE?
EXEMPTS WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE?
WAR WITH GANGS AND EVERYBODY IS I-BONDED OUT ON FLIMSY CHARGES?
PRETENDING TO PUT MORE UNITS ON THE STREET AND COUNT PERSONAL TWICE IN MANPOWER FIGURES.
WHEN U PAY FOR YOUR CITY STICKER WHICH ARE SUPE DOESNT PAY AND U SEND IN UR COUNTY HOUSING TAXES WHICH BIG MAC DOES NOT PAY TELL ME HOW FUNNY IT IS!
BURKE DESERVE THE SECURITY BECAUSE HE WAS THE POLICE DECADES AGO AND DRESSY LIKE A DAPPER DON.
Charlie McCarthy says:
Guess what? I can't tell you the number of police officers we have assigned but they're there even if you can't see them.
Sounds like the old Invisible Squad story we used to tell the district nut who called at 0300 about Martians.
its so confusing for g-mac.things are different ,yet the same.like when the dentist says open wide,or when your on your knees in front of rahm.do you see the difference.

Hey Rahm we are all watching you. Your transparent government is all a bunch of bull. Your 1st mistake was going outside the City to hire your School and Police Chief's. You now have thousands of school and Police employees pissed off. Nice going Mr Mayor.

Let's see, diminishing manpower, lawsuits, revolving door system frustrating enforcement and then having driven out industry over the decades to beautify city for olympic bid and now there are no blue collar jobs for youth limiting them to gangbang, sell dope, and hustle as well as invent new ways to entertain themselves as it it no longer safe for bowling, movies, dances, skating, carnivals,etc(if available) without extensive security. And now superintendent blaming government sponsored racism putting guns in their hands. (http://www.wlsam.com/Article.asp?id=2221691&spid=) Blinders on and full speed ahead
FYI-
Just worked OPY where I was assigned to follow a Catholic Charities van all week as they drove thru the City giving free meals. Today everyone at OPY followed a truck. Sgt running OPY (Elkins?) said it was because the person in charge of the program is a friend of the First Lady so someone at HQ is trying to make a name for themselves using City assets.
So much for the crime problems if we can have 10 police officers and a Sgt following trucks around
Damn, it is almost unbelievable how quickly the new superintendent ruined his reputation since arriving in Chicago. He held so much promise for a new era of great morale and a solid leader. Turns out it was all a facade. I would be ashamed to look at myself in the mirror after lying to the public and not standing up for doing the right thing. The St. Sabina speech just sealed the coffin. What a damn shame.
Jersey is a BAFOON
The Tribune is trying to prop up the wall of lies. Check out this spin from the Trib's coverage:
"There had been reports from witnesses of violent disturbances on the beach on Memorial Day, but many of the recordings, obtained under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, do not contain calls about violent acts."
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/ct-met-north-avenue-beach-911-tapes-20110623,0,503535.story
Compare this to the Sun-Times' coverage:
Emergency dispatchers handled at least five separate calls from beachgoers reporting violent acts in the area of North Avenue and Oak Street beaches, according to 911 audio tapes obtained Thursday by WLS Radio from the Chicago Office of Emergency Management and Communications (OEMC) under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act.
A male caller who said he worked at the Oak Street Beach food and concessions stand said, “We have a couple of gentlemen who are threatening to shoot us, threatening to whip our a . . . trying to take our own equipment.”
A female told police there was a large crowd of kids fighting near Oak Street Beach.
A female told the 911 dispatcher that she witnessed someone being attacked in the area of North Avenue Beach where she’d noticed only one bike cop the entire time she was there.
“Yes, there’s a fight breaking out on the beach because there’s nothing but animals covering this beach today,” the female said. “They just took someone down and starting kicking him.
Police said that North Avenue Beach was closed because of hot weather. Several people suffered heat-related illnesses.

A south side Irish police commander of the 018th District cut all the police there because it was so safe. Why did he need to put police there, he reasoned, if it was so safe?
Similar thing happened with School Patrol Unit. they had a pretty good handle on the schools and some boss figured, what the hell, they don't need the School patrol. they eliminated the unit and sent everyone packing back to districts.
Then a lot of the schools went up for grabs and there were a bunch of very public murders around the schools. Guess why? No School Patrol Unit only our media conveniently forgot to ask the right questions.
Great big oops. They hustled to cover the schools again but the barn had burned down, nothing compared with the school patrol unit.
Not the first time someone gets something right and a couple of bosses down the line a boss figures he can get a promotion by cutting the unit and then shit breaks loose again.
No consistency here. Everybody has to reinvent the wheel every fucking year.
Remember Summer Mobile? Fred Bosse ran it for years, then Guthrie had it for a while. Same guys ran it for years. they had the lakefront thing down pat. They were out there by memorial Day and set the tone for the summer and kept control of the lakefront and beaches.
Then some genius boss does away with Summer Mobile and guess what, things went to shit.
This place is run by morons, I swear to god, for over 25 years I have watched them screw things up again and again.
But they better not listen to me for I am a humble patrolman and by definition I do not have any worthwhile knowledge.
Hint: Start writing shit down in a big book and call it "How to do shit on the police department" and write after action reports and recommendations for the following year.
Then pass this book on to the next regime. As it is, the fucking cave men with their cave drawings documented their history and culture better than the CPD.
I for one am NOT impressed with this Jersey Boy.

You know what? It's happened time and time again. SCC should get a Pulitzer!
OMG, Fox News said Burke's security detail has been in place since the 40's. Nothing to see here.
Cro-magnum man saying maybe it's time to re-evaluate. Ok Dick fucking J-Fled, why didn't YOU do that? He said 4 people out of patrol wasn't a big deal.
Seriously, he is looking fucked up. I think the plugs are falling out and the cheek implants are drooping. He is seriously scary looking.
I just have one question--why does the media keep seeking him out for his opinion? His reign was an abysmal experiment, and now they want his expert opinion? WTF? WTF?
Seriously J-Fuck, get the fuck out of town. You are not a Chicagoan, and you are certainly not a Chicago cop.
You want some respect and want to salvage your soul? Then tell the TRUTH about your tenure here and what went on behind closed doors.
If you have not seen mccarthy at sabina's MB church then you need to, because this guy is from the same cloth as father flakey. he's in hot water along with the mayor for out right lying about the beach closing incident and we need to do him just like the last ass hat wies, a no confidence vote and a march on city hall. this guy sucks big time ad will kowtow to the store front revruns as much as possible!!!! i hope the CPD Enforcers distance themselves from this jag ASAP!!! He could put a damper on the celebration.

It's not the heat
It's the inhumanity
Plugged into the sweat of a summer street
Machine gun images pass
Like malice through a looking glass
I had high hopes for this new Super to straighten the mess out.
With his blatant lying about the Memorial Day Beach fiasco and his idiotic speech at Sabina's last week, he's quickly proven himself to be just as full of shit as his predecessor.
McCarthy?
No...McHardly!
Lead by idiots and outside political HACKS!!!!
The lame excuse McCarthy gave for the beach closing was at the direction of Mayor Rahm. That is why the Police Superintendent job is the biggest fall-guy job in America. You eat the sh1t the mayor serves.
The comments about blowing up the gangs, while there are some that think that is a good idea, it is not a practical course of action and only served to make him look foolish.
The debacle at St. Sabina was what killed whatever credibility he had or would have had during his tenure. Not that community has its feeling of alienation and justification for acting out against the larger society fully justified. It being picked up nationally by Drudge Report didn't help.
Whatever respect and chance the rank and file may have extended to him is gone.
It is going to be a long bumpy ride.
Retire ASAP!!!!
I can remember going to North Ave beach several years ago and it was the safest place in the world. There were police on three wheel motorcycles up and down the beach and police regulating traffic in the parking lot. What happened?

Back then there was a thing called "Summer Mobile", which has since been discontinued by our brain trust. There were Police on 4-wheelers and in cars. A high visibility unit that ran from before Memorial Day past Labor Day.
I know it'll never happen, but that detail should be started up again with the same manpower they deployed back in the day.
But, what do I know.........
This troll thinks there is no story here, move along. These people (the tiny dancer aka Rambo and Garry) have no credibility. We know what happened here. When Garry was on WLS he denied what callers, we citizens knew, saw and reported. For them to say the beach was closed for any other reason than an invasion of ghetto thugs was simply official lying. We can all expect more of the same from these two as we did with Daley and Weiss. Lying is after al the Chicago way. Oh, by the way, has anyone noticed that of the 20 something 911 calls released under the WLS FOIA none were for medical emergencies? They were all involving criminal activity?
Who cares!

they disbanded summer mobile and the animals got more brave and brazen.
FYI-
Just worked OPY where I was assigned to follow a Catholic Charities van all week as they drove thru the City giving free meals. Today everyone at OPY followed a truck. Sgt running OPY (Elkins?) said it was because the person in charge of the program is a friend of the First Lady so someone at HQ is trying to make a name for themselves using City assets.
So much for the crime problems if we can have 10 police officers and a Sgt following trucks around

Wow, I knew groceries had gone up, but I never realized how VALUABLE a truckful of food must be, to require so many patrolmen and sergeants.
Make them hire PRIVATE SECURITY. And just WHY is the City providing security to Catholic Charities at all?
Hey, Garda- You can do away with those armored vehicles now. Just call CPD and demand that we provide personalized security for you, too.
I just have one question--why does the media keep seeking him out for his opinion? His reign was an abysmal experiment, and now they want his expert opinion? WTF? WTF?

if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
To the female 911 caller with this priceless quote....
WILL YOU MARRY ME?!!!

get in line.
....LIKE A DAPPER DON.

well, he's now a diaper don, isn't he?
I keep reading on how the parimedics have been getting to sick or injuried people on the beaches for "100 years"
Should it not say 85 or so do to the"There's a fight breaking out on the beach, because there's nothing but animals covering this beach today" For the last 15 years and growing?

This is another story that deserves national attention. This city and this mayor and Supt. want to declare war on us, well then, lets air all the dirty laundry. We all know now that politicians, reporters, police, and average citizens all read this blog, so lets start putting it all out there. The Mayor's have been masterful at putting negative stories regarding alleged police misconduct out oh lets say during contract negotiations or whenever they think it will be advantageous for them. So I say we return the favor by putting the story above and all the other hidden news out there for public consumption.
RE communist propaganda, the Tribune is guilty of their one-sided, lib-tard journalistic views. I love it how they close down their view comments on the "touchy" subjects they write about that are edited to make the offender look like a poor victim. Most people who read the Tribune are educated and know bullshit when they read it. No wonder this paper is dying a fast death.
How about Supt McStupe?
Here's a thought: have the TSA, which claims to be protecting us from terrorists, deal with these criminal mobs. I am sure the brave men and women of the TSA will gain full cooperation as they ask these gangs to stand in line to be felt up and x-rayed down for weapons!
Good news is he can't make those hand gestures any more.
