That Time of Year
- As many as 2 million people were expected to take in the Chicago Air & Water Show on Saturday and Sunday and that means a big job for Chicago police.
As CBS 2 [...] reports, some officers are working 13 hours each day because of the event. Others are beginning as early as 6 a.m. to start patrolling the lakefront.
Sources said that gang officers would be saturating the lakefront along with officers from different areas and districts.
Officers and ambulances also were being positioned at various locations at Oak Street Beach, along Inner Lake Shore Drive and under several viaducts.
Tactical officers were being deployed at Oak Street Beach as well.
[...] At North Avenue Beach, high-ranking officers were part of the foot patrol on Friday and police and paramedic bike units were patrolling along with the full mounted unit.
Sources said officers have been told to be diligent – if they see a situation where crowds are gathering and there’s the potential for trouble, the situation needs to be handled immediately.
Police don’t want a repeat of the mob attacks that plagued North Avenue Beach on Memorial Day.

ooooooo , lmao WOW....I needz me a cheat sheet too SCC...
After Sunday Rahm will cancel the Air & Water show because he thought the jets were too loud and woke up the rich old timers who live off of Oak St. beach. Can't have crowds on the lakefront anymore. Too many arceholes who want to cause trouble. Certainly not enough police to control things. Have the "Air Show" out in Boone County next year or somewhere else rural.
heard on mike savage, trump will put casino on the lake front,in chicago. bring pension fund up to snuff,its a start.
So glad Im on furlo!
2 Million people, OMG 1.995 Million victims waiting to happen. I predict roving bands of honor students acting obnoxious and lewd to all the B's & H's, running, pushing, shoving, kicking and punching. I predict it will happen sunday as its going to rain saturday. I predict Georgas pimpin' the VIP seats for everyone from his church and anyone else he thinks he needs to kiss ass to. I also predict KA losing his mind every time he sees a baggy pant savage. I predict KA marching orders to get right up on every group of two or more until the pressure finally explodes into a 10-1 or a strapped banger running from the PoPo and letting off random cover fire in his wake. The rest is just too ugly to even think about. I just hope none of us an no normal people get hurt. I for one won't be anywhere near that cluster f%$k. I'll be out on my boat watching it from the safety that only several hundred yards of lake can give you.
O.T.- Why is our department so fucking obsessed with activity? My sgt. is harping at me at my low activity numbers. My parkers are fine, movers are fine and so are contact cards. The one area where I don't have enough activity is under arrests. But that is because I only will arrest someone on a signed complaint. I am not going to go out there and look for arrests. Fuck that. When will the reverends or other organizations figure out that our department wants numbers.
What is with this new rating system we have? Obviously those cops who have good numbers get a higher grade and those who come in with zeros get a lower rating. This is unfair. It's not our job to tow cars, impound cars, write parking tickets, moving tickets, make arrests, etc... Our job is to patrol the streets. Let's face the facts- the city and management won't say it outright, but they are interested in activity that generates money for them (tickets, tow and impoundment of cars, etc.).
Commander JM from Special Functions has everything under control. She can handle this event. She knows so much about domestic violence and all that knowledge transcends into great leadership and knowledge to lead her unit to run the air and water show. What a hack she is. Where is she gonna go when BC retires. She can't call her man Hoke anymore.
In the words of McStupe:
"What constitutes gang activity?"
Sure hope it isn't too "hot" this weekend. Stay safe!
Tax payers should be screaming! Cops being taken away from normal patrol duties to "babysit" the Air Show! With furloughs, medical, etc. the city is barebones right now! Wher's the outrage! "Englewood Gone Wild?" Not a word from the press! Hello? McFly?

Headline from a Toronto newspaper June 22, 2010:
G8/G20 protest organizers refuse to condemn violence
-----------------------------------
In a moment of startling candour yesterday, organizers of this week’s G8 and G20 protests refused to condemn the use of violence during demonstrations, saying participants will “resist in ways that make sense for them.”
Syed Hussan, a spokesman for the Toronto Community Mobilization Network, told reporters gathered at the group’s Queen Street West headquarters that summit security personnel can expect “different people taking different actions in the ways that they see fit.”
When asked if the group, a collection of grassroots organizations and activists, condemns violent protest at the two summits, Mr. Hussan replied: “No.”
The refusal to discourage extreme tactics — which security experts fear could include the torching of banks and vehicles in the downtown core — comes a day after Toronto police discovered a cache of “homemade weapons” hidden in some bushes near Allan Gardens, the picturesque park near Yonge and College Streets where protesters are expected to hunker down and establish a tent city.

We are in for some major shit, y'all.
Anyone sick of the BS the city and Mcjersy are pulling the answer is simple write a case report for every call you go on. Write a case report for every BS hand waver. The only reason crime is down is because we code out every job. If you ever want the ciityto hire or promote start writing case report and stop coding out jobs. Take20 mins write out a case report who cares if their is a back log. Just back each other up and write paper on every job.
After the latest round of BS at
35th street, rumor has it that two north side Commanders are submittung their papers. Moy & Boehmer are calling it quits by
15 Sept 11. There are also strong hints that there will be a shuffle of exempts on 16 Sept 11. The reason for the timing is with regard to 11 Sept 11 and the Mayor does not want focus or attention to disruptions in the police department.
the air force thunderbirds should be locked and loaded flying routine combat patrol, ready to unload their heat seeking missles
Sorry, I can't go help. I'm stuck patrolling "the box".

Hopefully it's not an out of control mob like last night at Edison Park Fest. It was like a mini south side Irish going on up there. Teens drinking, fights, puking in the streets, urinating in the alleys. The tact team was overwhelmed and had to call in reinforcements from the area. Time to cancel EP Fest not to mention dump the Tact Lieutenant.
Off topic from the Air and Water show but needs to be said.
The recent storm we had where many city residents sustained water damage to their basements as a result of the citys lack of sewer capacity is criminal. Every taxpayer pays a line item on their water bill called "total current sewer". I called the water department and they explained this charge is for removing 86% of the water that is used by the homeowner and returned to the sewer system. Here is the problem. We are paying for the city to remove our sewage however at certain times when their system can't handle the sewage due to their lack of upgrading the system the city uses our basements to increase the capacity of the sewer system without our consent causing thousands of dollars damage to our basements. I submit that we be allowed to deduct the sewer portion of our water bill until we are made whole for the damage sustained to our basements. Furthermore I submit that every homeowner that has had the city use their basement to store sewage be allowed to install a one way valve/flood control system and deduct that cost as well by not paying the sewer portion of their water bill until made whole for the cost of the flood control system as well as the damage sustained.

Yes, deportation cases for criminals should be moved to the top of the list, but openly announcing that almost all other illegal immigrants will not be deported is just going to encourage millions more illegal immigrants to come pouring in to this country.
Government officials have now been given a list of 19 factors to use when deciding whether to use “prosecutorial discretion” in deportation cases.
Essentially, what is going to happen now is that illegal immigrants are going to get to stay in the United States if any of the following apply….
-arrival in the U.S. as a young child
-actively “pursuing an education”
-serving or served in the U.S. military
-spouse of someone in the U.S. military
-18 years old or younger
-”elderly”
-pregnant or nursing
-victim of a “serious crime”
-serious disability or health problem
-caring for a family member with a serious disability or health problem
As you can see, these categories are so broad that almost all illegal immigrants will be able to fit into at least one of them.

2 million? Nah, there will be 5 or 10 million at least. That's plenty enough for the ballerina to slap a tax on their ass to help balance the budget and pay for all those underfunded pension funds. I know the casino was supposed to do that but hey, shit happens. Just imagine 10 million at the show over two days, whooo baby, that's lots of taxes! Maybe the Daley law firm and Vanecko Enterprises can get their hands in there and maybe some tax receipts will stick to their grubby Irish fists.
Why are these events held on our crowded lakefront? Take them into the far away suburbs. There is plenty of parking and open spaces. Air shows, concerts, and the like. Let someone else deal with all this crap.
Smooth move Rahmmie, lay off the Traffic Aides on the busiest single day of the year for city events. Cubs playing at home, Sox playing at home and a million+ for the Air Show......and of course, we are short THOUSANDS of POs.

Stop messing with Judy Martin. She was a great boss in 013, better than the current zero that holds that spot. She had an open door policy and anyone could walk in at any time and ask her for help or to rectify a problem which she would do if she could. There are alot worse bosses on this job than Judy Martin. And BTW, how can you dislike anyone that had the smarts and gumption to dump Deidre to 014?
This is a free show. I can't understand why it isn't televised so that the elderly, shut-ins, people unable to go downtown can share and enjoy it too. The radio commentators keep spouting patriotism and concern for these groups, older veterans who can't come, etc -- they just won't throw a camera on it so everyone can see.
You can watch ball players chewing, spitting, adjusting their pants, etc., but not this spectacular.

Just ask your Sgt if he ever reads the paper or watches the news? Tell him that crime is down. So if crime is down there will be less peop;e to arrest. And when it has gone down eveby month for almost 20 months it is making it real hard to find anyone to arrest.

That article is BS. It was a cache of homemade weapons-- for a nerd convention of some sort, things like nunchaka, crossbows, none of it functional or intended to be used in a crime. It just happened that the meet-up and G20 occurred on the same weekend. Other than a few cops beating the piss out of protesters, there wasn't anything of note during Toronto's G20.
Hopefully it's not an out of control mob like last night at Edison Park Fest. It was like a mini south side Irish going on up there.

I don't see where TMAs were eliminated. I saw plenty of them today. I pulled up near navy pier and at one light there were three(3) standing there in a group. One(1) would then direct you to go as the light turned green ( good concept there )I couldn't figure that out without you. I went maybe 100 feet and to my surprise three(3) more useless TMAs in a huddle. Withing three blocks I saw at least 15 TMA's doing exactly what I'm still not sure. My son in the back asked why they were there to direct me through the green light. Even he at his young age could figure out the waste!!!!

I agree with you 110%. We need to get other officers on board though. You are right, give paper to everyone. Too often we don't give paper when it's necessary. We code out jobs and go to our next job. We shoot ourselves on the foot and then wonder why we are short!
The illegal immigrants enable the political apparatus the tools necessary to overcrowd the school classrooms -- so that the political apparatus can then demand more taxes and fix the overcrowding crisis..don't you get it?
Look at these pitiful classroom conditions. Don't you hear the "hearts and minds" speeches, the emotional pleas? Use the kids as tools to get your money, raise your taxes -- it's for the kids how can you not want to help the kids..see??
It's no wonder we can't compete we need more teachers and more taxes...and that's why we support the casinos!! see...ha!
Pay no attention to the fact that many moons ago we had told the peoples that the Illinois lottery money would fix all these school funding crisis's.
About a year after these casino's open the money that's allotted to go to the schools will be put into a general fund (just like the state lottery money was ) and the schools will be whining about overcrowding and a shortage of funds.
Never-mind that the core issue is giving the illegal immigrants amnesty like Obama is doing right now.
This is being shoved down the taxpayers throats and the taxpayers are going to be forced to pay for it whether they like it or not!
The taxpayers are paying for the medical care, the free childbirth and instant citizenship, and the schooling. Meanwhile they are breaking the immigration laws, driving with licenses, driving without insurance, working under fraudulent social security numbers and often times dealing in illicit substances...and the president is waving them in the country. Come on in, bypass the laws, ignore the laws they mean nothing.
This country is up for grabs.

Thanks for solidifying the original argument. So if the politics benefit you, then its all okay.That is exactly the mentality that is the problem.
So what we are left with is a department made up of incompetent, leaders who were given their spots rather than having to earn them by hard work and dedication.
A once proud department, is now the laughing stock of law enforcement agencies. We have inept command staff members some that cannot even get federal clearances but thats okay, thats just the way it goes.

So some idiot in headquarters running POs activity and running to tell DTEB how underperformers abound. Too bad this idiot doesn't know they are either retired or work inside. So DTEB sends a memo telling the WCs to counsel the underperformers. So why do we still have retired POs on the sheets in the districts.

I have 28 years on and have wanted to work somewhere quiet tht does not involve expressway btravel till I get the age. Considered 020 a couple of times but the thought of having to look at Moy with a gold star was too much to bear. The only question is who will be her replacement and will they ever have openings? I overheard someone talking about Schloss or Forlenza for her replacement. Anyone else heard this? That might be worse.
OT...you will all live to vaugely remember when someone (maybe a clout baby)could dare to do do 20 and out. The city hall strategy now is clear, it is to let you try to be police and after a good 5 years on or so you WILL step on ur dick somehow and they will off you.

The flashmobbers are in for a very rude awakening if they think they're gonna start making shit like that a regular occurrence in or around Chinatown.
The boys in Chinatown don't need the police to handle a group of savages; lifelong friends in the area tell me the neighborhood "Social Clubs" have already met regarding Friday's incident (it wasn't quite the mass "bum rush" incidents we've seen as of late, but unwelcome nonetheless) and have formulated plans to deal with any future incidents without calling 911.
Theirs is a quiet culture that thrives on respect for their elders. Respect for others' property is also high on the list of things to abide by. When anyone goes against the grain in this capacity, they are usually outcast immediately. Outsiders that disrespect people and property are dealt with even quicker.
With knowing grins, I was told that the CPD would set records for Missing Persons reports following any subsequent incidents.
Again...these folks don't play. Believe that.

I agree the fest was full of drunken slobs urintsaing the street. It reminded me of the south side irish parade. The city employees were embarassing behaving like ghetto trash.

Thanks, but a lot of older people do not have and do not understand computers, let alone have the higher-speed service necessary to run streaming video. All I have is dialup myself.
"The Digital Divide..." unless you are a CPS "honor student," in which case you get real-time, high-speed smut.
Plain old TV would do. Endless stupid cooking and remodeling shows now for the young and affluent...
"Exactly, but last week I turned on the t.v. and could watch the Bud Fuckin Bilikin Bullshit parade not on just one but two televised channels."

They've co-opted it as the "Bud Billiken Back To School Parade" now, and as always keep the cameras turned carefully away from people smashin 40s, thugs saggin and representin, couples gettin busy on car hoods, etc.
A masterpiece of TV editing - if you can sleep at night knowing how you misled the public.

I don't know where to put this comment. I guess here is as good as a place as any.
Fuck the media. I am absolutely astounded with the shit that they get away with in the name of "Freedom of the Press"! They are fucking terrible!
THEY COULD NOT PRINT THE TRUTH OF A STORY IF IT HIT THEM ON THE HEAD. THEY LIE. THEY EMBELLISH. THEY EDITORIALIZE UNDER THE GUISE OF RUNNING AN OBJECTIVE AND FAIR STORY. WHAT A SAD GROUP OF HUMAN BEINGS!!!
This is a free show. I can't understand why it isn't televised so that the elderly, shut-ins, people unable to go downtown can share and enjoy it too. The radio commentators keep spouting patriotism and concern for these groups, older veterans who can't come, etc -- they just won't throw a camera on it so everyone can see.
You can watch ball players chewing, spitting, adjusting their pants, etc., but not this spectacular.
It's stupid.

On Sunday night, at 10:35pm, channel 7 is showing the highlights, at least, from the air show. Title is "Chicago's Top Guns" if you're searching for it.

Hey dummy, have you been living in a cave? They've televise it for years, Sunday night after the 10pm news. Set you DVR and deal with it!
Walter Jacobson did a perspective complaining about air show noise and saying the show shouldn't happen- just a little unpatriotic and anti-American:

I hope it's not wishful thinking that Moy is leaving. The sooner the better.
Forlenza is probably retiring next November so I doubt she'd want another three years. Schloss is more likely, given her connections, military background and familiarity with the area.
I overheard someone talking about Schloss or Forlenza for her replacement. Anyone else heard this? That might be worse.?
Oh that would be worse!!!!!
Considered 020 a couple of times but the thought of having to look at Moy with a gold star was too much to bear.
8/20/2011 10:28:00 PM
I wholeheartedly agree. She is the poster woman for incompetence. And her reward will be a bloated gold braid pension. It makes me sick.

Hey, thanks, guys. I'll see if we can catch it later. The radio says they're "streaming live" now on cbs2.com or whatever it is, not much use if the person does not have computer/broadband.
I looked on TV now and Channel 2 is running an important infomercial called "Best Bra Ever."
Priorities.
>pfft<
It still reminds me of a football blackout or something, back when bars would put up huge TV towers with antennas aimed at Green Bay, etc.
"Walter Jacobson did a perspective complaining about air show noise and saying the show shouldn't happen- just a little unpatriotic and anti-American:"
The last couple of times I watched Channel 2 News -- just to see the dinosaurs in the museum -- Walter seemed "just a little" bent, few too many anti-Martinis before air time...
Again...these folks don't play. Believe that.
8/20/2011 10:41:00 PM
no more soup for me.
This is an absolute lie. Who the hell makes this shit up and why. I'm not sure what fest you were at. I was there from 6 pm til after midnight and saw none of those things. It was a nice night out with the wife. BTW I had 3 beers all night so it wasnt that I missed something. Off duty PO.
Not a lie at all, the inside of the fest might of been nice but the neighborhood surrounding took a beating, especially south of the fest. Monument Park and Olympia Park had drunk teens running all over the place, in the alleys, streets etc. causing problems. I found a girl in my alley behind my house pissing by the garage, REAL CLASSY. Outside units were assigned to assist, I saw 4500 series cars as well 45S cars.
"The flashmobbers are in for a very rude awakening if they think they're gonna start making shit like that a regular occurrence in or around Chinatown."
The only time we would find out about it in the Area is if a body gets stuck in a sewer. Although their tunnel system there has worked fine for them for a hundred years.

Was at the new Des Plaines Casino at 6pm tonight. Every table game was packed. Very few slots open except 1 cent ones. Chicago needs to get one and watch your pension funding return to normal.
After the skimming of course.....
8/20/2011 09:37:00 PM
Mayor already said any funds from potential Casino WOULD NOT go to fund pensions. He said property taxes would exclusively be the source. Add the hike that we are getting in taxes to pay for CPS (last I heard it was the maximum allowable by city law) and we will have some very pissed citizens, including ourselves.

Chicago is the only big city in the country running major events without a Master exercise practitioner directing it. The program which is given by the Dept of Homeland Security to do this stuff. Even McJersey Shore should realize that NY has them running events.

Okay Mike, stop pandering for a new job.
What military background does Schloss have. You mean when she sat inside an empty Coast Guard factility out south? Don't let yourself be fooled like the brassholes here were when she was promoted to a one bar and told the city she couldn't take part in the promotion ceremony because she was "overseas". I guess technically she was right because she was south of the Cal Sag canal, so I guess she was "overseas". Technically.
Wasn't up to Rahm to decide if the casino money goes to the pension. Its in the bill that was passed in January 2011 The money going into the pension fund will come from property taxes, beginning in 2015 I believe
Relatively speaking the air show crowd was non-existentSunday, on a perfect weather day. Nowhere near the crowd it usually draws. I guess the prospect of being flash-mobbed kept the Suburbanites away from North Avenue Beach and the surrounding area.
In reference to the Sun-times article about the Chinatown Mob attack after a "rave" at a local warehouse...
quote: "“They pounded the s-- out of him,” police said.
wtf ?! Let's say some average joe on the street, or a west-side gangbanger said the same thing, an obvious off the cuff remark,,,,would it have been put in the paper ? No matter what, always got slant the news against polie officers.
Kinda like when he and his hombres raided the sacramental whine at Quigley in the summah o' '62. Cardinal Meyer was not pleased.
It was in the room next to 209; you didn't grab a few bottles and hide them behind the marble piece that came off the wall behind the second stall in the junior hallway head,,,you must have really been a choir boy. Now breaking into the summer mansion up at Mundelein during senior retreat and raiding the two lane bowling alley's bar, that took real balls. Most of the guys on that mission ended up as firemen, btw.
Two in the afternoon -- 14 year old shot dead on 600 n. Laramie -- how's that curfew working city hall?
Took our dog for a walk and passed by some drunk passed out on park bench across from Don Juan Rest.
Then we get home after being out with the kids and can't even park in our own assigned parking because some fest goers decided to park in the condo spots and walk down the block to the fest. As a middle aged couple that parked illegally in one of the spots came by that clearly was not our neighbor, we told them it's assigned parking to which they clearly didn't give a crap. When you have 2 tired little kids to carry up to bed it is harder to drive around to find parking due to inconsiderate fest goers. I hope they get rid of the fest. The drunk teenagers are ridiculous too.

We need to stop the Edison fest. The north side irish parade. Drunk white kids pissing and fighting. This was very disgusting to watch. I had the same problem by my house. Teens drunk and acting the fool. Where are the parents? Drinking at the fest? I am embarassed to live there.
"The flashmobbers are in for a very rude awakening if they think they're gonna start making shit like that a regular occurrence in or around Chinatown."
When the Triad (or whatever passes for the Chinese Mafia in Chicago these days) wakes up...the little punks will be in for a shock.
Just got a call from the Rahm polsters asking about cutting our budget. I used a fake accent and cranked up the porno in the background. Good times. I only wish that I recorded it because it was fucking priceless. The idiot kept reading off the questions even with all of the moaning going on in the background. I pretended I didn't understand the questions and kept making him read them over again. Not cracking up at his dumb ass was the hardest part.
What is with this new rating system we have? Obviously those cops who have good numbers get a higher grade and those who come in with zeros get a lower rating. This is unfair. It's not our job to tow cars, impound cars, write parking tickets, moving tickets, make arrests, etc... Our job is to patrol the streets. Let's face the facts- the city and management won't say it outright, but they are interested in activity that generates money for them (tickets, tow and impoundment of cars, etc.).
8/20/2011 07:24:00
Uhmm, hate to tell you but it is your job to do tows, parkers, movers, arrestes. I guess you missed that when you applied
to be a police officer because that's what a police officer does.

How dare you! Where do you get off talking like that about the North Side, out loud and in public no less. You have directly violated the unwritten code of North Side arrogance, ignorance and denial. When you moved up here you were specifically instructed on how you must always defend anything north, always deny and refuse to acknowledge any reports of white trash, crime, junkies, gangs, or the presence of any of "those people". You swore to uphold the code of silence when you were issued your Cubs jersey and forced to write "Wait till next year" on the blackboard 1000 times. Be warned! If you step out of line one more time we shall have no option but to run you out of the minuscule Georgian with the cancerous growth of an addition you dropped on top of it. Now you head right down to your two stool “media room/pine wood bar/ folding texas hold ’em table in the basement and make some serious offerings to Ryne Sandburg shrine and beg forgiveness.

Yeah, he really cares what the fuck you think. I'm sure he'll give cops, teachers and firefighters massive raises next contract because of a poll.
Anyone sick of the BS the city and Mcjersy are pulling the answer is simple write a case report for every call you go on. Write a case report for every BS hand waver. The only reason crime is down is because we code out every job. If you ever want the ciityto hire or promote start writing case report and stop coding out jobs. Take20 mins write out a case report who cares if their is a back log. Just back each other up and write paper on every job.
20 min??? How about 45!

I totally agree the sad part about this is that 90% of these teenagers are the kids of police officers. What's even more depressing it that these are students of our local Catholic schools.

Unfortunately true, the majority of problematic parks etc in 016 are because of City workers (police, fire, streets) kids who have absolutely NO respect for anything...
