The "Other" Trigger Happy Story
We were perusing the shooting stats recently. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 1,000 individuals are walking or rolling in wheelchairs or on crutches or slowly decaying underground because they have more holes in them than they started the year with.
One-thousand people wounded or killed in Chicago by gunfire.
And the Slum Times is making hay out of 42 people shot by the police, calling the police "trigger happy."
Maybe we should all wonder why Frank Main and the Slum Times think the police are "trigger happy" and out of control rather than the real story.

97 Comments:
the majority of the dead bodies/shooting victims are male blacks, shot by male blacks
Mope-rah, FOIA request all the shooting case reports: black victims, black offenders about 60-70% of the time. Hispanics make up 20-25% of the other shootings
Base on stats, the black community is "Trigger happy." Honorable Mention to the Hispanic community
"Maybe we shouldn all wonder why Frank Main and the Slum Times think the police are "trigger happy" and out of control rather than the real story."
Because they aren’t fucking smart enough.
Can someone tell the media police officers get shot, and have been shot, just last night, and murdered-just refer to the memorial wall. Holy Shit.
Pretty obvious that they are unwilling or unable to deal with one simple truth.
Chicago has the strictest gun control laws in the land and they don't do a damn thing to eliminate the gun violence.
I challenge the media to count and publish the number of crimes committed with a registered weapon vs an unregistered one and then an untraceable weapon.
Exactly. How is it that we are the trigger happy ones when you compare shootings by the bad guys to us? Our shootings have to be less than .0001% compared to them.
Well when you throw in the net for tuna, sometimes you get dolphin. So I guess the people shot by local bad guys are tuna. And the ones shot by the police are dolphin. You got this straight out of the mouth of Kingfish
Yeah, those gangbangers are real trigger happy SCC aren't they? But they don't have uniforms on so why would the media mess with them.
Thanks for the stats scc...helps keep everything in perspective. Knew the numbers were high...guessing around 2,000 by the end of the year. Stay safe everyone...remember it's more important we go home safe to our families...in the same condition we started the tour in.
Scc: Should we consider having a contest to determine the Over/Under on the number of people shot this year? For the heck of it, I'm setting the total at 1,850. I'm taking the "under". Hint: Compstat baby, it works!
Perhaps we're beginning to see the results of the do-more-(and more and more)-with-less-(and less and less) "strategy" that is Daley's Legacy.
CPD is stretched pretty thin; running job-to-job, little or no down time, difficulty in getting time off, etc. may be effecting performance.
You can only run any machine at max conditions for so long until things begin to break down.
In the future you're likely to see more officers in car crashes, getting injured on the job, and an increase in Log Numbers.
The perceived increase in police-involved shootings may also be a side-effect of the pressure. Not that these shootings are the result of errors in judgment; obviously when dealing with an armed offender (or someone you perceive is armed, as in the case of the 13-year-old banger), you may need to do some shooting, but perhaps the constant high-speed pace of the past few years has forced us into this routine.
What is CPD's MTBF (Mean Time Before Failure)?
Completely off topic, sorry.
I rode in my first Ride to Remember yesterday. As I was waiting with some many of my brothers and sisters, I remembered Thor Soderberg, with whom I did some out of state training. I thought about having breakfast with him and my team, and really just getting to know the man. As the ride started and progressed, we went through neighborhoods and boulevards, where I had worked at one time or another. Citizens and people from those rough neighborhoods, waving at us, cheering us on, some even dancing as we went by. It reminded me of the reason we all band together. I felt honored and humbled to be a "sheepdog" for the people of Chicago. As we pulled up to the Memorial, I rode under the immense flag that was waving proudly from the CFD Ladder, another powerful moment.
Thank you to all the outside agencies who attended. Thank you to all of the Recruits at intersections. Thank you to the CPD Sgt who stood and saluted everyone of us as we rode by. Thank you to the Sheriffs Office, the University Police and all outside agencies as well as our own for providing safe passage for the riders, both past and present. It's an honor to be part of this department.
I once thought of trying to compile a total of Chicago homicide and a total of Chicago shooting victims during Daley's tenure. Unfortunately, Chicago does not make these numbers so easy to count!
Wow. I take it that is just for the year? Because of medical advances, a lot of these that should have died were saved.
1,000 shot. How many shots fired that missed?
Total it all, you'd be safer doing a couple of tours in Afghanistan!
I'm wondering what the revruns alternative strategy would be--let the gangbangers shoot each other along with some collateral damage?
You chase a guy with a gun so he doesn't get the opportunity to use it in the future.
I was so seiously upset when I saw that ASSHAT reverend saying we were scared to do our jobs, I could barely stand it.
Then I thought, 'why let some illiterate, uneducated asshole have that kind of effect on me?' Isn't that what their intention is?
So don't let them win--don't even listen to these asshole race-baiting pieces of shit.
Same thing for that ugly-ass broad Mitchell. May she rot in hell for her two-faced stance on everything.
Let's see if the MSM does a story on gun violence perpetrated by ghetto rats now.
Since they get their story ideas from SCC, we should see a story in the next couple of days!
You mean the thugs and gang bangers in the ghetto aren't "trigger happy?" Is that what you mean, Mope Rah and Mainge?
You two should go fuck yourselves until you wake up or stop acting as propaganda agents for the subversive left.
FOP question. Now that Sid Davis is retired who is the FOP Recording Secratary?

Why didn't Scary Mary call for the city to ban all replica handguns/bb guns? Instead of doing something proactive, she wants to race-bait.
The City Council should really be motivated to do this.
If you Google 'BB guns' you will see the vast array of these weapons that are available for very little money.
Well City Council? You outlawed foie gras, what about these guns that kids carry that put them in harm's way?
What if some kid points a BB gun at a gangbanger? That banger is going to cap his ass!

The swift and professional response of the CPD and CFD must be factored in, as well. Without Police and Fire doing their utmost to "Serve and Protect" the citizens of Chicago, I fear many more would have died.
Any reason why the "do nothing" FOP is not organizing a march at the Scum Times?
Let's see if the media or the city conveniently omit July's homicide numbers from the mainstream. Seeing that they have been flaunting the numbers of decreasing crime all year, will they have the sacks to tell of the nearly 30% increase in homicides?
July 2010, 42 dead, July 2011, 54 dead.
Or maybe they will attempt to tie in a "more guns on the street due to a recent supreme court decision" angle?
Both the SLIMES and the LIBUNE are scum.

DOUGLAS, Wyo. --
The body of a Wyoming deputy who jumped in the North Platte River to assist a struggling girl was discovered Sunday.
It was the fourth day of searching for 29-year-old Bryan P. Gross, of the Converse County sheriff's office, who went in the river Thursday evening after a teenage girl who appeared to be struggling. The girl survived, but Gross was swept away in the river swollen by heavy snowmelt.

3. poindexter, you know it's way past your bedtime.
Well Hoe-pra, when you get those DOJ statistics, here's some numbers I'm sure you'll ignore.
33% of White murder victims are killed by Non-whites.
Only 8% of Black murder victims are killed by Non-blacks.
Again, your not expected to say anything about this, but that's ok, SCC has.
Guess What!
We have over 1,000 shootings so far this year and to put that into some kind of perspective the Illinois Department of Transportation tells us as of Aug. 1, 2011 there were 427 fatal crashes with 471 fatalities this year.
That's crash data is FOR THE ENTIRE STATE not just Chicago.
http://wrc.dot.il.gov/fatalcrash/crashdata.aspx
Now tell me that the politicians priorities are not all screwed up!
The lawmakers are more worried about passing rear-seat seat-belt laws and doing roadside seat-belt checks than they are at fighting crime.
You can't legislate common sense and we are going to go bust or crazy trying.
Look at those numbers and ask yourself how many people are we trying to save here that for whatever reason they refuse to wear a seat-belt?
Then ask if you have 471 fatalities resulting from 427 crashes just how many were back seat passengers without a seat-belt on?
IDOT goes on to report that we know restraints were not used in at least 176 cases. How many were back-seat riders?
So we have over 1,000 shootings in the the city and we're chasing after the average 176 people that are not wearing seat belts.
Where are the priorities?
Yeah, I know, I know...but if it saves just one life...fine.. However let's start at the top and work our way down.
You want to put a dollar figure on it because the city is going broke -- what do you suppose the ER room cost is for 1,000 shooting victims that will be left unpaid not to mention the ER space and hospital rooms that are taken away from someone else with these shootings going down. What do you figure on average $10,000...$20,000 per victim for the ER and hospital stay?
And Quinn act's like his law is a big deal with all the pomp and circumstance b.s. It's just a revenue creating scam to extract money and transfer the wealth out of the pockets of the middle class.
I once thought of trying to compile a total of Chicago homicide and a total of Chicago shooting victims during Daley's tenure. Unfortunately, Chicago does not make these numbers so easy to count!
After that, do a compilation on all the "wrongful" convictions while he was the State's Attorney
July 2011 Homicide count = 55

in link above, CBS 2 altered video to change meaning of on camera interview of little boy- he said he wasn't afraid because he was going to have a gun. what they edited out is he said he was going to have a gun because he was going to be police when he grows up
NAACP guy says media leaving info out to change story is akin to lying
Wouldn't the same reasoning apply to photo being altered to eliminate blunt and gang signs on recent photo of 8-yr. old shooter?
And Chicago media attempting to blame cops for police shootings?
The problem lies with your media affairs officers and the garbage they put out regarding officer involved shootings. Why is every story stating to the public that the officer "warned" the gunman "several" times before shooting him, and only after the offender "pointed" the gun at the officer.
A warning is not required before shooting the piece of shit, and neither is it necessary for the jaggoff to point the gun at us. The police media affairs people should be saying that. Hell, a fucking gun is not even necessary for us to shoot the asshole as long as we perceive our life to be in danger.
The public needs to hear start hearing that press conference.
Off Topic: Doty Watch
the July 22nd 'big meeting' took place at the International House, as was planned. Nothing
really earth-shattering was discussed; Although
Doty did attend, nothing was discussed as to
why our two most senior watch commanders
were terminated 'for budgetary reasons.' As
of yet, no one has been hired for the open exempt
post of Assistant Chief (if we couldn't keep our
two most senior Lts. employed, can the University
of Chicago realistically afford to hire an Assistant
Chief? Do we really need one, considering the fact
that neither Doty nor Chief Lynch seem to be able
to pull their collective heads out of their asses?).
Oh, and the bosses told us that 'you're doing a good
job.' It's hard to tell, with so few patrol cars on the streets surrounding the U of C campus on any given day (many times we have more exempts in our station than we have cars patrolling the streets, no
kidding). We should be in really good shape this winter if another blizzard occurs. The UCPD is purchasing even more Tahoe Squads, all with 4WD.
The only problem is, they're for use only by supervisors. When we first got them (two), only
ONE could be used on patrol per shift. That was
PER DOTY, whose reasoning was that 'you don't want to wear them out.' I guess that makes sense; spend upwards of 40 grand on a SUV squad, keep it in the garage. Doty continues to provide laughs on both watches, when he isn't trying to intimidate the troops.
I DARE the Sun-Times to run the full picture of the 13yr old and the gun. To call this kid an honor student is an insult to 99% of the young kids of color that have their school day and life put in jeopardy by idiots like this. C.O.W.A.R.D.S. that won't tell you real story. Just hit on the talking points on the same Template of Stupidity.

Frank is just doing what he is ordered to do. The administration wants to cut police and benifits. This is part of the opening salvo.
Since the FOP hired their own spokesman, thay have been having problems discrediting the police.
Here’s another media manipulation story about CBS-
A Chicago television station is being blasted by civil rights leaders and news media professionals for airing edited video of a 4-year-old boy that took his statements out of context, violating the basics of journalism ethics.
The Maynard Institute published a story on July 21 detailing how Chicago CBS station WBBM ran a story about the June 29 shooting of two teenagers in the Park Manor neighborhood.
A freelance photographer interviewed the youngster about whether the shooting frightened him. The station aired the portion of the interview in which the boy responded by saying he was not afraid and wanted his own gun.
However, it failed to air the portion of the child’s quote in which he said he wanted a gun because he planned to be a police officer.

Main prefers that minorities shoot each other unmolested, fewer of them to rob him.
Trigger happy police? The Revs need to sew their mouths shut or talk about the perdator that threw a baby (the police caught the baby saving it from serious injury).

Really..... says who? where is the money for the tests coming from?
i know there will be quite a few people who will sue. Don't tell me you can't sue either, you can't pull down a sgt list that hasn't even taken 150 off of it. you can't put a new test up without filling the current openings look it up. new tests only when the opening are filled per the city and the contract. so being 8 out i will make it either way off the list or lawsuit.
WBBM story goes nat'l with this headline on Huffington Post:
WBBM Distorts Child Interview: Chicago CBS Outlet's Misleading Editing Of Kid's Remarks (VIDEO)
What I don't understand is why the reporter would do this to a story on a 4 yr. old, but nobody will publish the whole photo of the 13 yr. old banger with a blunt throwing gang signs?
What gives?

And every fucking one of those 42 had a fucking gun in their hand when they were shot. Those are called "good shoots" for good reason....

Give Frank and Moprah a vest and let them work a double in 7, 11, or 15 or most of the other districts in this city. Make them accompany the beat officers to every baby mama drama and every 10-1, etc..
My guess is Frank will turn green and Moprah will turn white and they will both shit their drawers. If they don't go front them off at the next news conference for the cowards they are.
The tests will have the same format as earlier tests but with added pass/fail components of computer skills and typing proficiency.

ot let cpd be the police dept it once was by hiring officers that will make arrests .
hire civilians to issue parking citations for hal the pay , civilians can handle traffic property damage traffic accident
reports , missing persons , found property , criminal damage to property , vehicle theft and burglary reports , this would save cpd budget and reduce number of officers , it would allow civilian part time jobs without pensions at half a sworn officers pay.

They've only taken 111 off the sgt's list. That's 111. The last list was up till 362 and the list before that made it past 500, so I don't think it's a problem with a stale list. The problem is the city has no money to hire new police, which means no/little promotions. What would having a new test do if they don't even promote off the current one?

GFY new boots! They have not promoted a class of detectives in 4 years. I scored under 300 and I studied my butt off and I am still waiting to be promoted. The detective test is about 7 yrs old. Why should I and others be penalized because of the city budget shortfall. Either get some time on the job and wait your turn or study harder next time. Sorry but I and others put in our time. Without meritorious I would've been promoted already!
My cousin's boyfriend works for a testing firm. They were contacted about giving tests by the city but did not get the contract. I guess one of the biggest things the mayor is trying to change is the belief that tests are fixed. He wants to start fresh. He does not care how much it costs because be feels the benefits outweigh the cost. All lists will be torn down by October.

Yeah, Rahm; we heard you the first and second times. No need to keep submitting the same post over and over again.
If it's time for some bosses kid or clout baby to make Sergeant, then you can bet your ass there will be another promotional exam soon. Lieutenants will be made by phone call, so no test necessary there.
I have been saying this all along, the city hasnt been hiring P.O.'s in order to pay for revenue generating departments. Lets see I came on in 1992 and the police did EVERYTHING back then. Worked all summer events,Cubs games, Bulls, White Soxs,directed loop traffic,etc... Came 2000 and OEMC monster was born, the civilian revenue generating machine. You just dont start a mnew departing without finding money to fund it. Thus the hiring freeze(slow down, wink wink)of the police. Where do you think the city got the money to hire all those civilians,buy radios, and vehicles? With money that is meant to hire police. Then they expanded the TMA's where they work all the chicago events now. Shit back in the 90's you never saw a civilian near parades, P.R. fest, sporting venues,etc... Now they are every where. So now the city realizes that they are playing with fire and need to hire more police but robbed peter to pay paul. So what do they announce? Laying off TMA's. The city needs to pull the plug on OEMC all together and return that money to hire police. While this department generated revenue for the city and allowed to police officer's to remain handling radio calls, it depeleted the police ranks.
"The lawmakers are more worried about passing rear-seat seat-belt laws and doing roadside seat-belt checks than they are at fighting crime."
They get federal money to run a lot of these safety checks and it shows that we "need" more federal money. That's why they do them.
"Our governor just signed the Dream Act. I would vote for PeeWee Herman before I will vote for this idiot."
Quinn knows he's a single-termer and is going to ram his agenda down our throats because he knows better than you and I when it comes to what the people "want."

GFY new boots! They have not promoted a class of detectives in 4 years. I scored under 300 and I studied my butt off and I am still waiting to be promoted. The detective test is about 7 yrs old. Why should I and others be penalized because of the city budget shortfall. Either get some time on the job and wait your turn or study harder next time. Sorry but I and others put in our time. Without meritorious I would've been promoted already!

7 year list is very ineffective and counter productive. We need to hire the best and the brightest detectives so have another test. Let us hire the brightest using a updtaed test without the Daley infulence. Sorry, but 7 years is too much.
Why didn't Scary Mary call for the city to ban all replica handguns/bb guns? Instead of doing something proactive, she wants to race-bait.
There already is a 'Replica Firearm' Ordinance on the books.
It doesn't matter though, 'Hoe-pra' still gets paid for publishing her racist dribble.
Tests are stale? Fuck you! Unused does not mean stale. The tests are "low mileage". What content of the new test would be radically different? This isn't computer technology or the medical field that you have to keep up up to date on. Just over 100 sgts made and just over 200 detectives, none since 11/07. I know you young guys are frustrated with no being able to have taken a test but you don't get to leapfrog over the rest of us who have been frustrated too.
Promotions coming? Fuck that, they can shove their promotions. Leave me on my beat car for the next 18 months and then adios. Fuck this place.
Hey Hyde Park Nitwit,
MS is not the BIL of BO. He is MO's FC. So why don't you GYHOOYA and go back to bed in YMB.
Nobody can see you typing your comment. There is no need to use IO when making a comment about someone. You are not GTGIT.

They've only taken 111 off the sgt's list. That's 111. The last list was up till 362 and the list before that made it past 500, so I don't think it's a problem with a stale list. The problem is the city has no money to hire new police, which means no/little promotions. What would having a new test do if they don't even promote off the current one?
Maybe because the original poster bombed the test?
My cousin's boyfriend works for a testing firm. They were contacted about giving tests by the city but did not get the contract. I guess one of the biggest things the mayor is trying to change is the belief that tests are fixed. He wants to start fresh. He does not care how much it costs because be feels the benefits outweigh the cost. All lists will be torn down by October.

bullshit.
all this is about is rahmbutt creating his own clout monkey army.
I hate to say it but; some people need to be shot. Especialy people trying to shoot and kill people for no reason.

.......................
Yeah the story of my life... I'm in the next class and they tear down the list.
RIP to the Douglas, WY deputy. Very sad.
As Dirty Harry says in Magnum Force " there is nothing wrong with shooting as long as the right people get shot"!

I'll say it again GFY! That's the problem with you new cops! You think because you had to have 60 credit hours of college to take our test, you think you are better than all of those who came before you. Well I have news for you FNG, a lot of us had our degrees prior to coming on this job and prior to the college requirement. Those who didn't served or country proudly and some did both. So get off your high horse and put in the time, for Christ sakes you still smell like kales! Signed,GINS956A
