Mark Brown Again
- Thanks to the magic of YouTube, it’s a fairly simple matter to go back and take a second look at the speech last January where mayoral candidate Rahm Emanuel unveiled his crime platform.
His campaign posted the video at the time, along with this caption: “Rahm Emanuel introduces his crime plan to put 1,000 more cops on our streets and expand after-school programs to keep kids off them.”
If you listen for a few minutes, you can hear Emanuel make this pledge:
“Earlier in this campaign, I proposed using $25 million in TIF funds, unused monies, to put an additional 250 police officers on the streets of our most violent communities. But frankly, 250 more police is not enough. Chicago must do better. Chicago can do better.
“As mayor, I will put 1,000 additional police on the streets working closely with Chicago residents to fight the guns, to fight the gangs and to fight the drugs that now pervade.”
Over the final weeks on the campaign trail, the promise to put “1,000 more police on the streets” became part of Emanuel’s talking point mantra that was drilled into us through daily repetition.
And so it was with some amusement that I heard Police Supt. Garry McCarthy tell the Sun-Times editorial board Friday that he’d never heard the mayor say anything about putting police on the “streets” when he’s been present.
“I heard him say districts. I heard him say beats,” said McCarthy, who of course didn’t get here until after the election.
Ah, McTool. Playing Rahm's numbers game. And the semantics game. And any other game the Machine wants you to dance to, credibility among the rank-and-file be damned.
Hunker down people, rough sailing ahead.

Amen to that.
Anyone want to let the readers know what we're in for?
it's a surprise.
Mark, You can make your career out of this, it's so easy.
They smile, they lie and they wave at the camera as they glide away. And the citizens of this city believe it, because they saw it on the ten o'clock news.
When has a politician or any of his puppets ever told the truth ?????? Emanuel will LIE and McStupid will swear that it's the truth.
Politicians and their "bathhouse boys" are the lowest things on the face of the earth.
Obama, Quinn, Daley, Rahm and McCarthy are all politicians and as such are pathological liars.
How can anyone listen to them and expect any resemblance of the truth?
These guys would make Herr Gobbels proud.
All politicians are liars and thieves! :(
Rahm loves to list out his promises and ideas, doesn't he. You and your fellow law enforcement professionals may enjoy this comedic imagining of a Rahm Emanuel news conference that doesn't turn out exactly as scripted. Feel free to comment on, forward or post to any sites. Cheers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBN5bxxq01I
McCheat somehow has it in his head that 1,000 detectives is too many.
He's McCheating us out of keeping safe by not hiring and now he wants to McCheat us out of solving crime.
McTool. I like that. Let's run with that one.
Politicians are born pathetic liars. Racoon Eyes is no different. He lied about putting more police on the street. But he is now the elected mayor so what does he care. Putting kids in school an extra 3 hours a day "to keep them off the street"? How about they made a plan that would TEACH these kids instead of BABY SITTING them. And where is all this cash coming from to support these programs? The cash just suddenly appears from nowhere. For a town that is broke this is certainly magic!
Has anyone noticed Racoon Eye's nose getting longer? Hmmmmm.
but id bet you'd remember if i said Id love to get something straight between me and your wife a thousand times. wink ."I know something you dont know." LOST in the westside place. ALL hail Crate-henge!
ot heard there is case report naming ald beale he went up g.brooks school trespassing going past security and assualting an admin official all because a coach yelled at his son hey press foia this also he had ticket non suited his city car blocking an alley
Ah! "McTool" so much meaning, substance. I hear-by declare, with-out authority or consensus of the masses, that "McTool" shall be the official nickname of the superintendo until such time that we get a better one.
The police dept. needs major adjustments. Too many special and inside units. the district desk should be staffed with light duty personel only.
McTool, McLovin or McNutty? THAT is the question. Today it's McTool, tomorrow, who knows?
Just heard a news story regarding the current police chief of New Jersey. His wife was double parked and the officers were not going to give her a ticket, so her husband , the chief ordered them to write her because she was wrong. What a STAND UP GUY. Versus someone who would use their position to get a family member out of a ticket they deserved.
Imagine a member of your family calling you over a silly ticket , when they are wrong and you coming to the rescue causing a scene, it happens.
You mean Rahm lied? Say it ain't so.
I thought he was on the side of the working man.
Aren't the progressives, I mean communists, supposed to be for the workers? What's with all of the union busting and bashing of the working man?
F'in puppet. Rahm must have told McSupt do evrything I tell you and "it"(his embarassment to Rahm) will all be swept under the table.Look it worked too.
The FOP along with all the other unions in Chicago had better step up their games.
NOW is the time for the unions to start a massive PR campaign and keep it up until contract negotiations begin or shortly afterward.
The unions need to do the same thing as the city is doing; flood the media with the CORRECT info about what is going on in the city.
Flood the media about the city's true finances.
Skyway $$
Parking Meter $$
TIF funds
Hell, if all the TIF funds were put back into the general fund (WHERE THEY REALLY BELONG) then there would be NO budget deficet!
O.T.--SCC I am sure by now you have been made aware of the new push By Mcjoke to make tact officers appear less like the police and more like the NYPD Anticrime unit, but I just wanted to let you know what a joke and officer safety nightmare we are headed for.
I am not a hair gel tact guy and yes I am lucky to have a spot, so by no means am I complaining just giving my humble opinion. Last week we were told no outside vest covers and to remove everything from our belts let alone having a duty rig period. We were told to cover our vests with another garment in attempt to look less like the police.
Now this is all fine and dandy, but do these fucks running this dept into the ground really think that the bangers dont know that the 2 or 3 white guys jumping out of a god damn unmarked squad car aren't the police!
NYPD has the resources, vehicles etc.. to make that unit operate under the radar and not look like the police, we are lucky to have a functioining pdt let alone a covert vehicle.
I'll end my rant and let all the tact haters comment now, but the other issue is officer safety. What happens during the first foot pursuit when a copper shoots at, or god forbid hits another copper mistakenly took for a bad guy when he is running with his weapon drawn? Does the Sup know we just gave every banger the tool to say I didn't know they were the police after we are battered or shot at?
Just wanted to keep you apprised of the usual incompetency of our dept SCC. The floor is yours tact haters!
This guy is Rahm's puppet, I think the final nickname for him should be McPuppet. There is no General, Admiral, Commander etc on earth that would voluntarily turn down more troops/police. If there was any doubt left that this guy isn't one of us its gone.
I think Area 1 is up at Compstat this week, that means 007. Stay tuned.....
dance monkey .... dance!
Not a rumor but fact. People got letters to report for the academy 17 October class. One of them is a relative of a friend of mine and I saw the letter. We need more but at least its a start.
Wait...these ARE the CTA paid hires to REPLACE special employment! 50 recruits hit the street and 50 spots will open in Public Transportation. NO increase on the street.
10/02/2011 11:24:00 AM
Wait a little more. Take those 50 officers, make them full time, and add the furlough, rdo's, bfd's,personal days (don't mention anyone being on the medical) those officers can take and you have a net loss of about 30 officers!
You read that right. Make those 50 officers full time, instead of officers working their day off. You get a net DECREASE in manpower on the order of 30 officers a day. Ask Rahm or McPuppet THAT Mr. Media.
When in the same clip you talk about using $25million in TIF money to put 250 officers on the street that indicates to most people that you are going to hire more cops. I guess that most people are not politicians or lawyers.
Everyone knows campaign promises are just flat out lies. The sheeple get what they deserve.
I thought SCC's "McSmoke and Mirrors" was hilarious!
Who are you going to believe, me and my nine and a half fingers or your damn lying eyes?
To many detectives? McCarthy wants to dump 250 back to patrol for just cause. What is the criteria for thie dump?
ole raccoon eyes tiny dancer driving the bus--- big possum head from the chicago crime commission is the navigator--- gmac the ladies man is in charge of the emergency exit at the rear of the bus--- it's the beginning of the full of bullshit tour and the keynote speaker will be the hawaiian, osama obama---
Kudos to you Mark Brown. Hope you realize that Rahm has the Napolean complex and tends to explode at people that don't go along with his bullshit. I'd hate to see Rahm confront you naked in a shower poking his finger in your chest. Or maybe even threaten to burn your house down.
Poor little Rahm has anger management problems.
What we need to do is simply provide Dist rosters from the early 90's and compare same Dist's today. In addition anyone with access to the daily " sheets" from the early 90's compare them to today. Send them with explanation to The Reader or Mr Brown and simply inform the citizens how bad it is.

Chicago has more murders, more agg batts, and more robberies. McCarty is a blowhard and a bull
Chicago has more murders and violent crime but also has more ghettos than new york. In new york ghettos are violent but smaller areas not like in chicago. the entire south, east and west sides are trash. In new york there are not sprawling areas for over 20 miles of just constant ghetto like in chicago.
Im not a troll but you have to look at the response any politician is going to give you and that is the first one... The number of officers is comparable to the size of new york police department because of the difference in population and how large new york city is.
Size of New york: 498 square miles
Size of chicago: 227 square miles
population density new york:28,000 people per square mile
Population density chicago: 11,500 per square mile.
New York population: about 8.2 million
Chicago population: about 2.695 million
That means in new york there are about 245 residents for each police officer.
In chicago that number is about 277 residents for each police officer...
Thus, chicago has a proper sized police force compared to new york city.
Also, the TIF funds should be gathering an additional 4 or 5 million bucks a year just in interest, not including all the new money comming in
Cut all exempts from units ,
assign a sgt or lt as commanding officers in units .
Commanders should only be assigned to district patrol and public transportation .
CPD does not need detective division commanders or commanders in other units .
" Conservative reporter threatened by Rahm "
HEY, CHICAGO MSM!! How does it feel to see & hear a REAL reporter?
Imagine that, a out of towner doing you job.
Now go get your shine box.
Hey Mark Brown get off this blog for getting information for your stories and get off your ass. Do some investigative reporting! According to CLEAR we have 9,400 sworn police officers, yet for the last 5 yrs. the city council has budgeted the police force for 13,500. So we are short 4,100 officers, where is all that money that was budgeted to pay for those 4,100 officers for the past 5 yrs. Do a story on that and I will tell people you are a REAL REPORTER!
Obama, Quinn, Daley, Rahm and McCarthy are all politicians and as such are pathological liars. Seeing that they are all democRATS, I wonder if they received in state tuition breaks while attending the Bill & Hillary Clittin' Academy of Pathological Prevaricators? If bullshit were electricity, democRATS would be nuclear power plants.
McJagoff?
Why is it that all of my fellow Irishman in politics and the judicial system are a disappointment. The judges at 26/cal, bridgeview and Skokie, our last mayor, and the supe. Embarrassing!
Rahm can't keep everyone Happy .
For the last 20 years , coppers have been complaining about the desk dollies , cowards , political connected police officers working as office boys and girls .
Now Rahm orders McCarthy to put the police office workers in the field , back in a beat car and everyone's complaining .
Rahm has to remove some of the exempts in command of less than 100police officers . Those units could by supervised by a sgt. or lt. Captains should only be assigned to areas or the busiest districts like 7,8,9,10,11,14 &15 .
Rahmn' Noodles and McDummy are both idiots, typical politicians and liars. Illinois is the worst, corrupt and broke state in America and Chicago has got to be the shittiest city in the state.
OT:
AMR Decade-Worst Drop Spurs Trading Halts
{...]
So-called circuit breakers to stop the rout from moving to other shares took effect seven times in less than an hour starting at about 12:58 p.m. in New York Stock Exchange composite trading. Fort Worth, Texas-based AMR plunged as much as 41 percent to $1.75, the lowest in more than eight years.
[...]
Pilot retirements from American have totaled at least 10 times the monthly average in September and October as employees sought to protect their pensions from a possible bankruptcy filing and declines in the broader stock market
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-10-03/amr-falls-to-lowest-since-2009.html?cmpid=yhoo
Of course AMR is blaming those high labor cost for everything.
Would of been nice to have been a fly on the wall at Rahm's "aviation summit" last week.
Is that another "tax break" to "save jobs" I smell. Time will tell.
Nevertheless, those pilot jobs are six-figure positions for the most part and we can expect a trickle down effect in the economy just in time for the other summits.
OT.
Toni Missinglinkle just gave a raise to her 3-man security detail.
WTF?!
Do as I tell you to do and nevermind about my shenanigans is her management style.

Perhaps I am mistaken but I believe the effort made to wear the vest on the outside for tactical officers was made after a shithead shot Officer Valadez in the head claiming he didn't know he was the police.
I think Area 1 is up at Compstat this week, that means 007. Stay tuned.....
10/03/2011 09:05:00 AM
And do think anything is going to change in 007 because of Mc Numbnuts ComShit meetings? We gained extra people but still can't take off because we have to man extra bullshit ghostcars like the Ashland car the Halsted car the bike team that is still out there , and lets not forget the Cta robbery team and the burglary team that doesn't even answer up for burglary calls. So where exactly is the help for the Bt. cars answering calls. And anyway Mc Carthy can't and won't dump any exempts.
Mclovin will be on Chicago tonight this evening get the dvr ready. Put some waders on and get your shovel.

Thanks for the warning. I'll throw a plastic drop cloth over the couch and be armed with a barf bag. I am sure it will be a wretching experience, but I will not be able to look away from act.
Each time he says, "Look" and "You know what?" and "But, guess what?" and "If you will", I am going to take a pull on the Night Train. Bet I am obliterated by the time his interview is over.

Actually....it is Area 4
All the Focus on putting more Cops on the street,I have the Perfect solution,Have the people who want to work inside process the bullshit arrest like shoplifters and holding the Offenders their is to much down time waiting for prints to clear and waiting for juveniles parents to pick them up,This can waist an entire tour.
.....I proposed using $25 million in TIF funds, unused monies, to put an additional 250 police officers on the streets.....
25 MILLION divided by 250 Officers comes to $100,000 an Officer.
Where do I sign up?
Does the Sup know we just gave every banger the tool to say I didn't know they were the police after we are battered or shot at?
Just wanted to keep you apprised of the usual incompetency of our dept SCC. The floor is yours tact haters!
Hey fellow hair gel, they have been saying this forever, it's nothing new.
I am also fortunate to have a "spot" on a Tact team! They can make me do whatever they like as long as I can wear my $200 jeans and my baseball cap backwards.
How you like us now Tact haters?

AMEN BUDDY!!!!! Finally written in a way everyone UNDERSTANDS! Thank you. Now media.....read and understand- WE ARE SHORTHANDED!!!
Well....... He DID say he was going to use TIF money to put 250 officers on the street. THEN he did say that's not enough and he wants 1000. To me that sure sounds like all new hires if he is using the TIF money to pay for them.

Glad you like it, because it's mine, and I've used it several times the past few months. But SCC is more than welcome to it.
I'm liking not giving him a fixed nickname. The riffs on 'Mc' are far more interesting.

Cool. Here's your next story, Mr. Brown.
The Tribune and SlumTimes would be out of business if it wasn't for the CPD. They have no investigative reporter skills. Start holding McTool's ass to the floor. Since this guy has gotten here all he has done is told lie after lie and be the mayor's complete patsy. Call him on his bullshit.
By the way, this guy has been here for a few months and he hasn't visited many districts or met many of the rank-and-file beat officers that him and Rahm lie and say they want to give every available resource to do their jobs effectively. My car has 105,000 miles on it, no A/C, no computer and the paint job is so bad it is barely recognizable as a CPD squad car. How is that for giving the beat cop the tools he needs, McBeatoff?
WRT: "New York population: about 8.2 million
Chicago population: about 2.695 million
That means in new york there are about 245 residents for each police officer.
In chicago that number is about 277 residents for each police officer...
Thus, chicago has a proper sized police force compared to new york city.
10/03/2011 11:48:00 AM"
=====================
Great...now run the same stats for the number of aldermen between cities!!
P.S the one thing missing from the above...that Chicago has three times the number of violent crimes
why bees de aldeman if ya don't act like one
The police dept. needs major adjustments. Too many special and inside units. the district desk should be staffed with light duty personel only.
10/03/2011 07:56:00 AM
Ok know it all. If you give light duty officers these "nice" spots then where is their incentive to return to full duty??
Don't you think that it would actually increase the amount of light duty officers then?
Also, in case you've forgotten.. or perhaps never knew, district desk spots are bidded spots by seniority. This is clearly spelled out in the contract.
Is McGruff actually Charlie McCarthy? I noticed everytime McGruff is with Racoon Eyes the mayor has him sitting on his lap with his hand in his back. I even saw Rahm's lips move a little.
My car has 105,000 miles on it, no A/C, no computer and the paint job is so bad it is barely recognizable as a CPD squad car.
--------------------
I can remember not all that long ago that cop cars had no A/C at all in many places. The reason - they wanted the cops to have their windows open so they could hear what was going on around them better.

And, I suppose cop cars also had no heat, because we might be tempted to close those car windows and keep the heat inside during the winters?
You bought the official b.s. hook, line and sinker. Emperor Daley the First just didn't want to PAY EXTRA for air conditioning in the squad cars.
