Crime Down, but....
...it still seems kind of violent out there. Anyone catch the Breaking News headlines lately?
- One person was dead and two others were injured in a drive-by shooting this morning in the Fuller Park neighborhood on the South Side, authorities said.
- An 18-year-old man was shot and critically wounded this morning in the city's Englewood neighborhood, police said.
- An 18-year-old was killed and a 15-year-old wounded Tuesday night in the city's West Pullman neighborhood on the Far South Side, police said.
- Two boys ages 13 and 14 have been wounded in separate shootings in Chicago, bringing to at least six the number of children who have been shot in the city in the last week.
- A 16-year-old boy was shot and seriously wounded while standing on his front porch late this morning in the Roseland neighborhood on the South Side, authorities said.
- POLICE SHOOTING: No one was injured when Chicago police officers fired at a man who pointed a gun at police late this morning on the Far South Side, police said.
- A 21-year-old man died and a 16-year-old boy was injured after they were shot this afternoon in the Burnside neighborhood, police said.
- Two teens were wounded tonight in a possible drive-by shooting on the Far North Side in the city's Rogers Park neighborhood, officials said.
- Four people were wounded in separate shootings this afternoon and evening on the city's South and West sides, officials said.
That's 9 stories out of 23 since Tuesday night.
The stories account for at least 3 dead and 14 wounded.
Another 2 stories cover the Monday killing of a cook on a cigarette break and another about a man on bail arrested on a separate murder charge.
But remember, crime is down, the Department is fully manned, and don't worry about shopping downtown while taking the CTA. All of the above are merely figments of your overactive imaginations.

And if things get bad, just blame it on the heat.
Millie Vanillie blamed it on the rain, but Ballerino and G-Hack blame it on the heat.
its safer on the mexican border or in iraq. and its always hot there.
Only reported crime is down. Try using callback, the line is busy. The only reason for a police report is for the insurance company. Otherwise, why bother..
oh well i am not surprise at all ,to the officers in 9th district who blew off the battery in progress at 5400 s ashland good job. dispatch 9** they are calling back on the man beating the woman on the street .9** we drove by there and she refused service lol wtf did u forget u can sign complaints if she refuses. dispatch did u want to drive by there and see if everything is ok 9** make it a 19p she refuses service wow amazing and where was the supervisor who knows if i was the supervisor i would tell the dispatcher to send that unit back over there and assess the situation these supervisor in this department are useless and to that unit 9** shame on you if it was ur family member may be then you would have care for the safety of a female being beaten up by a male keep up the good work thank god i dont live in 9 your job if u forgot is to serve and protect the safety of all citizen oops did u forget looking the other way is not the correct thing to do its call coward oh in this case its just being lazy . god bless
And what about that murder in River Forest? Really another Austin-related murder placed slightly west and a world away, but nonetheless a serious wake-up call for River Forest too. That park is surrounded by $1m to $2m houses.
Out of control violence is so commonplace on the south and west sides, I fail to see how it qualifies as news.
Its safe here wat u talking bout. Can I get an event number for a nap please.
Chicago - the Dodge City on the Lake.
Forget concealed carry here, just come in like Doc Holiday with a shotgun at your side.
Shooting ranges (actual streets) are conveniently available throughout the city.
Sounds like the dept is "killing crime" as they tried to do about 15 years ago.
..the violent crime rate in Chicago is disgusting. Number one in crime and number one in silly gun laws. What an imbecilic combination. To try and save society, always vote Republican.
..saw the constitutional carry map on google...Illinois looks like the only pesky bug at the America picnic.
..the idiot with 106 priors should use his link card to buy more brain food. He needs it.
hot lead injections have become the third leading cause of death in cook county right behind cancer and heart disease--- standing on your porch, taking a smoke break, and bringing in your dog at night have become hazardous to your health---- a heat wave is coming saturday and should last well into the end of next week--- dew points are expected in the 75-80 tropical range which will really get the natives stirred up-----

D.C. fire department to fight crime??
Yet some of the Pows who actually got guns off the street are still at call back and records,etc...for years...
Glad I am retiring in September..
Evidently, the Funeral Home on Chicago West of 90/94 does a lot of gangbanger funerals.
A few times when in the area, I've noticed a crowd of gangbangers on the sidewalk in front of the FH waiting to enter and pay their respects to the departed with a CPD Tahoe parked in front for the duration of the funeral.
Why the CPD presence? Respect? Taking photos to I.D. bangers? Protection?
I doubt it's respect. If it's assure more bangers aren't shot while paying respects, let's save the taxpayer's money.
Not a cop
If concealed carry is unlawful in
Illinois, then why are all of these
people getting shot and killed with
guns concealed by the shooters ?
This is worse that when Wyatt Earp
and his brothers were the law in
Dodge City, Kansas in the 1800's
At least everybody was packng and
had an even chance, depending on how fast you could draw your pistol. And if you shot someone in
the back you were hanged, no if's, ands, or buts, and no lawyers to
get you off. Justice was swift.
Look into my eyes ....you're getting sleepy...very, very very sleepy.
Now repeat after me, crime is down, crime is down, crime is down.
There, don't you feel better?
Now drink your kool-aid and move along.
Auto theft is up because you NEED a report for your insurance. You WILL wait for hours to talk to someone for that report. They CANNOT fudge the facts on an auto that is gone.
If you think crime is down, ride the CTA redline to 95th street.
We need to practice alot more.
They just all need hugs!!
Funny thing is;if you really want genuine journalism get the free Chicago Reader. They actualy spell it out about the police situation and Rham magically putting officers on the street.
McCarthy- How are you going to deal with the Knockout Game??

Just had an idea. Let's hold a march against violence. That oughta do it!
ALL DEMOCRATS ARE COMMUNISTS AND LIARS SAYS:
Crime down, but population of Shitcago down significantly, so crime per capita is really up. Thats the part the Democommiecrat Leadership of Shitcago and the Communist News Media fail to tell the Public. Thats the way the Communist Regime of Crookago, Crook County, Felon-ois operate. All smoke and mirrors.
Government sponsored racism! That's what it is.
When is someone going to stop the ATF from putting weapons into the hands of felons via their south of the border distribution network?
Are they trying to make our current gun control laws look ineffective by letting guns walk?
Don't let this self created crisis go to waste now. One can use it to influence the so-called "hearts and minds" of the taxpayers.
Now get out there and push those weapons into the hands of the drug cartel members and let's get this agenda started.
/sarcasm ?
Are the gulls still constipated from the Dave Matthews concert food or what?

How stupid do you have to be to call the police to report being robbed of cannabis and then leave more drugs out in plain view when police arrive. Prolly a cps honor student
There's a common thread here, this is what you get from 22 years of appeasement
Don't worry nif you work a 1 man car in ghetto , rahm's precient workers work 3 man trucks changing light bulbs , yep the city is broke , but chicago is never short of patronage workers
but the POLICE are out of control..a sad cycle of violence. can they still blame bush?
.a democrat will complain about the weeds in their lawn and say the government will remove them for me. .a republican wont say anything, just goes out and pulls the weeds themselves.
The Mayor and Superintendent would like the public to bury their head in the sand and believe crime is down and everything is ok.
It must be true if the politicians are saying it right?
Wait aren't these the same politicians that travel with bodyguards??
HE is not and never will be a Chicago police officer. A Chicago Police officer is someone who works in a district in a beat car for a number of years, goes to court or a side job after his/her shift. He is the guy or girl who people come to in the neighborhood when there is a disturbance on the block, your child gets in trouble or someone is breaking into their garage. You do not aspire to be a chief of police or Superintendent of a department 2000 miles away from where you were born.
You hope to pass a test or two, hopefully get promoted to Det, or Sgt., earn enough money for your children to go to a decent school or college.
You laugh at watch parties (remember them) or retirement parties with your fellow officers over a beer. You offer your condolences to the family of a fallen officer you may never have worked with. Your heart drops and life stands still when the news broadcast a “Chicago Police Officer” was shot and killed.
A Chicago Police Officer will never stand up in front of his fellow officers, with a microphone in his hand and berate, demean and humiliate the hard working men and women of this department.
HE WILL NEVER BE A CHICAGO POLICE OFFICER,
HE IS A CARPET BAGGER...a Carnival barker....A Bully...nothing more.
Ask him the last time he did a traffic stop was? Ask him what “precinct” 73rd and Hermitage is!!!!!!!!!!!!
Or how about Springfield and Grenshaw…………….13th and Hastings……….
Take your meetings, your crime stats and that New York Accent and go back east.
Police detectives have a few suspects in custody concerning the street robberies around Roosevelt and Indiana. This is Da Mayors old neighborhood. He now lives in a condo on North Michigan Ave. It belongs to his brother Bill who is in Washington. Surprised there isn't a lot more of this stuff all over with the economy being in the tank the way it is. Hard times and folks are pressed for cash.
HA HA!!!!! Crime is down, HA HA stop it your making me laugh! Crime is down, lol where?
Blame it on sissy bosses with no backing of the men and women!!!!!!
No support = No Proactive Police
No Support = Reactive Police, here is your report Lady, have a nice day and welcome to Chicago, go pay some high taxes and call 311 from now on LOL
This city is so F*#$ED!!!!!!
Can we close the city this weekend, I hear it's going to be hot?
Maybe we can just close all the public beaches in advance due to expected temp's this weekend...
So much for the old slogan, "It's Always Cooler by the Lake"
Talking about stories.... I turned on the news yesterday and every top story was about the weather! Get over it, IT FUCKING RAINED AND IT WAS WINDY AND TREE BRANCHES FELL. SHIT HAPPENS! My point is there was nothing about the terrorist attacks in Mumbai. Strategically planned! The last attack in '08 was planned here in Chicago. Let's keep our guard up guys and gals. It's not if, but when.

Hey SCC, have you heard rumors about exempt changes? The word is it's gonna be big!!
What have you heard?
Everyone knows that Chicago is UNSAFE and quickly turning into Detroit II.
Talk to people when out of town and see what their perceptions are. They are not good.
Lack of cops causing a once great city to plummet into the abyss.
I'm going to ask this as it is really stupid, but nonetheless, Why isn't anyone investigating the lies and horseshit this city hands us? Why are they lying, and able to get away with it?
SHAME SHAME SHAME on ex mayor terd bag, and the ghetto reporters for printing such lies !
One day these paid off scumbagz will have it all turn on them . KARMA can not come quick enough for the city's liars !!!
Now here's a video of a REAL Flash mob:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5lbNXNn3CI&feature=youtu.be
Will someone PLEASE explain to our Chicago media the difference between a flash mob and street criminals.
Turn up your volume and enjoy.
God Bless America.
Stop talking about my honorroll student!
Scc, I thought you would find this interesting. Former Chicago police superintendent Richard Brzeczek is now working AGAINST the Chicago police department. It appears that Brzeczek is an attorney and Police policy expert and owns his own firm located at 435 W. Erie. A lawsuit was filed today against several Chicago police officers who were involved in a shooting that ended up in elgin. Brzeczek is representing the piece of sh*t who was shot by the police. But wait it gets better... do you want to know who he is teamed up with on this lawsuit??? Well at the bottom of the suit it is signed by Brzeczek and loevy and loevy who are working together on the case. I didnt think he would sell his soul to team up with those blood suckers. Arent loevy and loevy the ones who are representing many of the people who are suing Jon Burge? Brzeczek's name was brought up in many of those reports and lawsuits as having knowledge of burge's actions... Now, all of a sudden Brzeczek is on Loevys team? Is Brzeczek trying to save himself from sitting in federal court being questioned by Loevy and Flint taylor? I dont know if im connecting the dots correctly but something is wrong here. Brzeckzek has sold his soul for money... going after the men he use to lead and now he is just going after the free city money. The suit was definatly written by arthur Loevy because ive been sued by him 3 times and he writes his suits in the same font and type that the suit is in and the same exact wording that he used in previous lawsuits...one of which was a shooting. It is absurd the allegations that they are making. If the city gets a good jury they will beat this with no problem at all... I would love to see loevy lose one to the city on a big case like this. What a joke.
this is a link to the lawsuit:

Chicago Magazine says the Michael Scott investigation was botched. Too many unanswered questions.
"...examination of police reports and interviews with members of Scott’s family, close friends, political allies, business associates, and investigators who worked on the case raise new questions about the thoroughness of the investigation and reveal a trove of new details surrounding Scott’s death—including the fact that he somehow spent the last hours of his life undetected in a city bristling with surveillance cameras and that one of his cell phones was somehow emptied of data shortly after he died. Additionally, I found that senior police officials might have interfered in the case for political purposes, allegedly ordering investigators not to look further into a call made to Scott by a top aide to Mayor Daley hours before Scott died."
http://www.chicagomag.com/Chicago-Magazine/August-2011/New-Details-Emerge-in-the-Death-of-Chicago-School-Board-President-Michael-Scott/index.php?cparticle=1&siarticle=0#artanc
Just observed a large group of male/female blacks on the northwest corner of 115th and Cicero, gathering in the abandoned gas station. There were some sitting in cars, and others leaning on the cars, all looking at their cell phones. My instant thought was the gathering of a flash mob. Then heading further east on 115th, just east of Pulaski in the bus turn around, another group gathering in the same fashion. Gurantee they are waiting for something. This was observed at 9:15PM
1 more event number plese...
I asked on here last week about FOID crimes in Chicago, Here is my letter to the downstate Decatur Herald and Review, Champaign and Macon couty is were a lot of the displaced welfare recipents and public housing garbage endedup.
Letters to the Editor
State should enforce FOID law more strictly
By Admin
With all the shooting crimes in Macon and Champaign Counties why are we not seeing more of these criminals charged with not having a valid FOID “Fire-arm owners ID” card? This never used law is nothing more than a tax on lawful gun owners, even people that work where guns and ammu-nition are sold are required to have this card. Why the state is not charging these crimi-nals is a mystery to me. The penalty for not having a valid FOID is a fine and up to a year in jail. If we are going to get serious about gun crime lets charge the criminals! Start charging these crimi-nals, not plea barging with them.

Um, obviously you weren't without power for 3 days and had to pee in the dark, not to mention throwing out every single thing in your fridge and freezer, including the Hershey's syrup!
To the guy talking about ex- Supe Breczeck (spelling ?): he's been a defense attorney for a long time, hammering coppers unmercifully. In the early 90's I wrote a lot of DUI's. He is the only attorney to ever tear me a new ass on the stand and leave me feeling like I actualy did something wrong instead of the HIGHLY intoxicated Polish guy he was defending! He sold his soul for $$$ a long time ago!
Just another in a long list of "bosses" who only care about themselves!

What a fucken joke!
In reference to Micheal Scott I do believe he was helped with his "suicide". This guy was in deep deep shit concerning his finances with the city and the 2016Olympics. I do think the powers that be didn't want this guy around talking.
the "as I approached I observed him drop a small bag to the ground" Sure I believe them all lol
7/14/2011 10:13:00 PM
This happens a lot more than you think... I've been less than 2 feet away from people and they still drop it.
To the loser talking bad about the 9th Dist car who 19p'd the battery on 54/Ashland. You want the police to sign complaints on that trash. Fat chance. They will be right back together, and then try to complain about an unlawful arrest. By the way, I'm sure that there are tons of law abiding citizens where this took place. Don't be mad at 9**, be mad the chick who refused service. One more thing, go back to school, your comment is just one big run on sentence loaded with bad grammer. Make that battery a 19p squad,lol.

You have to be a defense attorney. If you were a working police officer you would have seen that a thousand times.
Here's a secret I'll let you in on. We throw away more dope and let more traffic violators go than we write. It's called discretion, but the truth is we don't have the time or manpower to handle the volume.
Sorry they all sound the same. Would you rather have a more interesting narrative? Can't do it. The report starts with: "In summary".
We are not here to be interesting. We are hear to put your clients in jail and keep them away from the good neighbors.
Michael Scott quit Dunder Mifflin paper co. to be with his girlfriend,Holly.
Speaking of former Supt. Brzeczek he was involved in a bit of a shit storm concerning the use of city money to pay for airfare to visit his airline stewardess galfriend in various places around the country. He said he was on city business when he made the trips. His Old Lady didn't buy it and they both went on to doing professional counceling for couples caught up in marital problems. He was another guy who kept his mouth shut but I am sure Mayor Daley, and his Crime Family, didn't throw him any bones. He was from the Byrne era and we all know how the Daley's felt about her. Ancient history.
I'm sure glad crime is down, but I sure feel sorry for the victims!

Yeah, it does happen that way sometimes, but when every case report reads like the same template every single time, you (we) have a problem with credibility.
