Shark!

  • Last Sunday afternoon, I was headed to my cousin Hipsha’s place for a party.

    At 87th Street just east of Loomis, a Chicago Police cruiser quickly swerved from the right lane to the gutter, sending a wave of mucky, oily water from a clogged sewer onto a group of men sitting on milk crates outside a shuttered car wash.

    The guys jumped from their crates, enraged. The cops sped off and turned down a side street. I made a U-turn.

    “Did that really just happen?” I asked the men, noticing one of them had settled back on his milk crate, sipping on a 40 oz. of malt liquor.

You really need to read the entire article. It seems these fine citizens were just sitting on milk crates minding their own business when they got "sharked." Given the excessive number of potholes and standing water on the south side, you'd be hard pressed to call this anything but an accident. If it's nearly as prevalent as the writer alleges, we're pretty certain people would stop hanging out near puddles.

Frankly, the entire article seems like a justification for the writer to give the recent soakee a dollar, which he did, giving lie to the entire portion where he attempts to describe the soakee as anything but a bust-out. People with jobs and such don't hang on street corners, sitting on milk crates, sharing a bottle or watching people share a bottle.

Google "Scumbag Eradication Team" + "Daytona Beach".

To raise funds, their Police Explorer program printed up an amusing t-shirt featuring a caricature Sheriff Mike Chitwood standing next to a trash can with legs sticking out of it.

Naturally, whenever a BS brutality case arises, the lawyers are quick to flog the "Scumbag T Shirt", but juries just don't seem to care... It encapsulates a sentiment that the good people of Daytona are very much on board with; get rid of the fucking scumbags.

As you can imagine, in a "Spring Break Town" like Daytona Beach, there's a lot of action as far as quality of life offenses. The people there understand that if you're going to live in Daytona, there's certain stuff you just have to accept, but that doesn't include belligerent drunkards vomiting on the sidewalk, loitering vagrants, violent bullies patrolling the streets, street whores in hoochie pants walking around family areas with their vagina in plain view...

Ask me if I fucking care if a bunch of ghetto assholes sitting on milk-crates on the side of the road got splashed, intentionally or unintentionally. Fuck them. Scumbag Eradication Team to the rescue... That sort of behavior is hardly a step up from the old days when shitbums would warm themselves over a steel 55 gallon drum full of burning garbage in the south loop missionary district.

Fuck. Them.

Yeah, the guys are bust-outs and shouldn't be sitting on crates sucking down bad booze, but an accident? Come on, SCC, I guess that's possible, but we've all seen our guys do this juvenile shit dozens of times and we know it's not accidental. Just because some schmuck of a reporter makes a big deal out of it doesn't mean it wasn't deliberate.

Let's see, after 2 1/2 years in office Barry has turned a $ 450 billion annual deficit into a $ 1.6 TRILLION deficit.
Federal spending has historically been between 18% to 20% of GDP.
Obama has bloated it to a staggering 24%, with spending levels climbing to 25%

should be ashamed of himself for putting his name on this thrash. How does this get put in the paper. What is wrong with reporters today. This is not news, this is simply propaganda for the haters and the race baters. Until our media begins reporting about the real problems in this city the city will only get worse. This gets put in the paper, but some girl walking down the street gets shot in the face doesnt even make the paper. What is wrong with the media today, what a joke they have become.

Even the picture shows the guy's a thug. And the part about him having trouble with the law was a nice touch. So the guy gets locked up, hangs with the dope boys on the corner drinking on the public way and impeding pedestrians while selling narcotics and he gives him a dollar to go buy beer so that he can continue to break the law.

Makes sense for a scum times reporter.

This is the same idiot who plays the race card CONSTANTLY:

"The congressional newspaper the Hill reported this week that Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, feels that the current names [of hurricanes] are too "lily white," and is seeking to have better representation for names reflecting African-Americans and other ethnic groups ...

Read more: 'Black' hurricane names brewing swirl of dissent http://www.wnd.com/?pageId=20096#ixzz1SGJqhzZi

Also: February 9, 2011
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) took to the House floor Tuesday night to criticize what she called a “demeaning” Pepsi ad that aired during the Super Bowl.

In the ad for Pepsi Max, a black woman sitting on a park bench gets angry with her husband after an attractive, white female jogger sits down next to the couple and smiles and waves at the man.

___________________________________


If this goof didn't have the race card to play, she would just be a ordinary stupid member of Congress. WITH her use of the race card, she has become a stupid, racist and embarrassing member of Congress.

Reminds me of a former Alderman who chose to endorse Daley instead of a black mayoral candidate. The Alderman got voted out by his constituants and stated afterwards that he would never be OUTBLACKED again... Hmmm, no racism there!

Shark hunting is a lost art form that could be looked at by Research & Development. Sharking should only be used for male gang members actively involved in gang and narcotic loitering. In fact the department could get rid of the current dispersal orders on rainy days and replace it with a shark event number. Order gang members off of a spot and if they refuse to leave, then they get a good sharking. All other people, such as women, children, and those going to work and school are off limits. If those groups are intermingled, then restraint will be in order and a shark will have to wait until later. A shark should at least be worth a bus check on a humper.

Calling these bust out, crack head, rap sheet having parasites citizens is ridiculous. Do you really believe that one of these "CITIZENS" as you refer to them would lift a finger to help a police officer that was getting his face kicked in? You sir, are fucking delusional. I'm finding it difficult to believe that you have 14 years on the job. You must have spent it all working behind the desk. Those scumbags sitting on the crates, drinking their 40's and smoking their crack, wish us nothing but harm. Fuck them. I think it's funny as hell that they were made to take a bath. Maybe they won't stink up the stations as bad tomorrow when they get locked up again for their usual crimes against society.

I'm not a cop but would like to chime in here. How stupid could this writer be? I hate to say it, but from the look of the picture, him not showing his face. He know that he is probably wanted or he knows he's trouble and the cops would have a field day if his face was showing because the cops in 6 & 22 both know him by name. Also the reason he wasn't sitting with the party is because he had nothing to bring, no alcohol, smokes or illegal substance. You can't go empty handed. So he was trying to make some by washing a few car. Now not only did he make a few dollars buthe hit the jagbag writer for a dollar which he got to by the alcohol. Now he will be joining the party.

Besides the cops might of had a call. Leave them be. Everything they do isn't just out to get pookie.

who said this story was just propaganda for the haters and race baiters.

Also, foor Konkol to say this only fuels the continuation of "no snitching" in the streets is asinine. It's the gangs that promote the no stitching mantra. no snitching keeps gangbangers and criminals out of jail. getting splashed has nothing to do with it.

In a community where 60 to 80 percent of the inhabitants have a hand in, or benefit from, the underground criminal economy, "no snitching" is just a way for those inhabitants to maintain their way of life.

It may be juvenile for those cops to have splashed those folks, but how juvenile is it for those "grown men" to be outside drinking beer on milk crates in front of a closed car wash? what example are they setting for the younger generation? how is this village raising its children?

This was nothing more than the village idiots getting a washdown.

I can see your point of being negative and thinking every person in the ghetto is an asshole criminal but working in the ghetto for over 2 decades I have to say there are some good people in the ghetto. I was in a fight for my life years back and guess who came to my aide before the troops arrived (probably saving my life)? You guessed it citizens from Englewood. Also, was in a multimillion dollar lawsuit which I'm sure would have made someone rich for something I didn't do. Guess again who came forward as witnesses stating that this allegation was false and that I didn't do it. You guessed it again, citizens from Englewood. So thank you good citizens from the ghetto who all get labelled as criminals. Signed a white officer from Englewood.

What I am getting at is sometimes some coppers feel the need to punish a little. It might be petty and immature but it is totally understandable given the people we deal with. lets face it, guys spending their days on corner crates are usually pieces of shit who commit multiple crimes daily. If the Sun Times wants me to feel bad for them getting a little wet, sorry but I just can't. Most of these assholes have hurt society much much more than they were hurt that day in getting wet.

The only person who can get into trouble for sharking is the mayor for not properly maintaining the streets. If you drive through the ghetto and hit water because it pooled, it's the mayor's fault, not the cops'.

Splashing gang banger dope dealers is just a nice bonus to an otherwise terrible driving experience.

God bless the 006th District and all the hard working cops all over the city.

Hilarious, that should be a course at the police academy. How to splash a bunch of welfare recipients and bleeding heart liberals with puddle water. They deserve what they get, they don't like the police and the police sure don't like them, keep the homicides and agg batteries coming. Obama will solve all their problems.

Are you shitting me??

I grew up in the city. Learned a young age one does not stand near the bus stop if there is standing water.

Obviously, working people are off-limits.

But street-corner rats?? Fair game.

Hey, there wouldn't be any water water to splash if the sewer drains were cleaned out like they should be and all those Billions we spent on Deep Tunnel did something..

So, let me get this straight.... A group of piss bums are hanging out on the public way sipping alcoholic beverages on a hot day and a couple of Chicago's finest assist them with a cooling mist of gutter goo and this is a problem somehow?

I fail to see the problem here.

BTW any group of young hoodlums or piss bums standing anywhere near a giant puddle by the curb is fair game in my humble opinion.

Just sayin...

RE:

Yeah right, more likely scenario is sharkee is offender trying to pummel you. If you're trusting citizens to back you up, you're a fool. God Bless the 006th District.

I don't trust or expect anything from a citizen. The fact of the matter is that there have been numerous occasions where a citizen has grabbed a radio, made a call or even made a physical intervention to save or assist a police officer. A fool is someone who was raised so poorly that they think it's funny to splash a citizen, in view of the public while representing the police department. That's not just a fool, but a coward and a punk as well.

I was working a part-time job a few years ago with another copper...I think we were in 006.

Trust me, I'm a Republican through and through.

But as I looked around at the bleak conditions, and the impossibility of anyone making it out of there as a productive member of society, I thanked my lucky stars.

Some people, just by the places they are born into, never stand a chance.

A little compassion never hurt anyone.

Seriously, if you weren't born to white parents and sent to Catholic school, where would YOU be?

Yes, some people DO make it out. But imagine if you had a crack whore for a parent, never got regular meals, and on and on.

But for the grace of God, I could have been one of them. Never forget how lucky you are.

And a little kindness never killed anyone. Splashing people to be a jagoff isn't something to be proud of---would you want to teach your kid to do something like that?

Didn't Pat Daley get a contract, while his father was still mayor, for inspecting sewers in the city of Chicago? It's his fault that there is water pooled up and that ghetto rats get splashed.

Sharking a group of shit heads sitting on milk crates is a more efficient use of time and manpower than getting out and interacting with them while wasting valuable ANOVs on thugs drinking on the public way. Most don't have an ID anyway, so no ANOV, waste of time. A good dose of water is what these animals need to move on.

6:46am..... yes we are fortunate that we had parents that gave a shit about us and we have peers that became losers anyway. However, life in the big city does not have to be impossible. There are millions of people in third world cities like Mumbai that would trade places with these folks in a New York minute. An opportunity to drink and bathe in free clean water? Eat government cheese and have free rent? Ride on the inside of the train rather than on top of it? The poorest of the poor in Chicago ain't the poorest in the world, probably not even the country. Look at Appalacia or an Indian Reservation and tell me that they have more given to them. The problem with the ghetto is there is very little trust, honor or committment. Not many people give a rats ass about each other. If they did, life would improve 1000%. They might still be "poor", but they would be safe and have hope. Those are things you can't buy. As for sharking, grow up guys, there is plenty of fun you can have on this job without pulling that coward move.

I think that there are a lot of you out there that just don't get it. it doesn't matter if the dudes that got sharked were gangsters, bums, or regular citizens. This is about the sharkers, not the sharkees.

We as police should be better than this, especially on duty. There are plenty of opportunities on this job to have some laughs. Anyone who thinks this is really cool and funny should have never gotten passed the psychological exam when they were hired. This is high school shit.

I may be a LOWLY P.O. but at least I actually spent time on the street and know the difference between a CITIZEN and a SCUMBAG CRIMINAL. It seems to me that most of these hard charging white shirts lately have a ton of war stories but don't seem to know shit about being the police. Hell they don't even know the difference between a decent tax paying citizen and a crack head. Anyway, I'll go back to being a LOWLY P.O. now and the next time I see some fine CITIZENS sitting on milk crates, sipping their 40's, I'll get out and give them some toilet paper in the form of ANOV's instead of giving them a bath. This way the young W/C's can tell the new SUP that they generated some activity in a "MISSION AREA". I'll make sure I get that EVENT NUMBER too! Can't forget those.

Listen, you sorry, petty little child you aren't paid to be a bully. Just because someone is a bust out doesn't mean you have to prove that you are their equal by being a complete jackass. Give them an ANOV? At least you would be getting out of your car and looking them in the eye. Most of the best coppers I know treat people with respect until the situation calls for them to take it to another level. It's called "working smart". If you think the guys sitting on the milk crates are the real criminals then you are clueless one. If this in fact the truth, why don't you use all that street experience and lock them up for something. Do I answer to my commander? Yes, it's called chain of command. If he wants event numbers then I'll ask the coppers for event numbers because that's my job. If they feel like doing their job, they just may get some. Not a big deal to me. I can't force someone to have a work ethic nor can I force someone to be a mature, respectable police officer. Life and the job itself seem to have a way with catching up with a$$holes in the long run.

You better check some of their rap sheets if you think they're not real criminals. Most of them would cut your sorry throat for a quarter if they thought they could get away with it. They are sitting on milk crates now because they can't commit the crimes of their younger days and get away with them anymore. The crack and booze has caught up with them so now they commit petty thefts and sit on milk crates panhandling. You say lock them up? For what? Pissing, DOPW, the drug paraphernalia in their pockets, the one rock they just stuck in their pipe, DC, CTTL, panhandling? You want us to bring these smelly shit bums in to stink up the whole station and maybe have them get a bullshit C.R # on us? You want us to go through all the bullshit and paperwork so that the ASA's and judges can throw the shit out of court before we even sit down. No thanks, I'd rather "SHARK" them. It's easier and more punishment than they'll get through the legal system. They're all a waste of space and if they all disappeared tomorrow the world would be a much better place. I can tell you've had a sheltered career. You'll make a fine exempt member someday. I've gotten out of my car and looked these scumbags in the eyes more than I care to remember. I know what evil is lurking behind their eyes and I'm not giving them any respect. You have to earn respect and you don't do that by sitting on milk crates while getting drunk, high and committing crimes. They've been committing crimes their entire lives and costing the taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars while victimizing the same people that make their worthless existences possible. Save your little holier than thou lectures for the young guys because I don't need them.

I realize that these people are leeches etc. but that doesn't mean I need to act like an unprofessional, cowardly scumbag. Your "punishment" nonsense is just an excuse to keep acting like a teenage punk. Its sad that you let these guys get in your head still. It's a job. Don't let the anger eat you alive.
