Nicely Done
Authorities arrested three people after a West Side shooting led to a miles-long chase on the Eisenhower Expressway that ended near the city border with west suburban Oak Park, police said this morning.
The shooting, which occurred during an attempted armed robbery, was heard by a nearby police officer.Just before the 5-mile chase, a white Dodge minivan approached three men standing on the street near the intersection of Central Park Avenue and Roosevelt Road just after 9 p.m. Wednesday, police said.
Officers from two police districts pursued the vehicle west until the minivan pulled over near the Austin exit and the driver got out and turned himself in, police said.
A suspect in the passenger seat quickly got into the driver's seat and continued west until a traffic jam slowed them down, police said.
The remaining two suspects then jumped out of the minivan near the Harlem exit and fled, but were quickly apprehended near the scene.
The Chicago officers were aided by Oak Park police and Illinois State police, who managed traffic, police said.
Good job all around.

Doze Austin Coppers are still da best!! $anfi$h would be proud...
And now right to Judge Lyle's courtroom. Here comes the I-Bond.
Speaking of criminals: Newt Gingrich says that he will cut all Federal funding to cities that declare themselves "Sanctuary Cities". In case you haven't noticed, there has been a huge influx in illegals and a corresponding uptick in public costs and crime.
Now that the "Cain Train" looks like it won't get out of the station, it looks like Newt is the man. I couldn't stand him at before, but he does know his stuff.
Why even chase these assholes anymore. Make one mistake and your job will be gone. The city has made it quite clear where they stand concerning the police. Fuck them. Put on the blinders and take care of your own. Never thought I would say that but times have certainly changed.
Excellent job boys and girls.
OT: Compstat coming to a high school near you!
Today Suntimes; "Weekly crime fighting meeting with cops, schools." "District Commanders and CPS officials will hold weekly Compstat meeting to discuss crime trend in and around school property." If their a shooting on the weekend principles will know about it on monday and coordinate with police; to make the school safe (For the children.) Prototype districts to try this in will be the 7 and 8 district.
I wonder what would Jack Maple say to this?
You guys are good! Congrats!
citizen :)
Great job officers! But your activity is low.
KNOCK IT OFF!
Before responding to "shots fired", the sergeant should have gone back to the station to get his "gear" (whatever "gear" means?: a grappling hook, a Heckler & Koch MP5 with a laser, infrared night scope and a fixed bayonet, leg irons, latex gloves and booties, sledge hammer, battering ram, pinkie ring, a change of undershorts, a roll of toilet tissue, ad infinitum, ad nauseam, et cetera).
An ill-prepared officer could get himself hurt or worse. That's absolutely terrifying. The sergeant was lucky he didn't get himself shot dead by the African-American youths.
GOTTA RUN!

Off Topic:
I saw this on the 41st Ward blog -
Commander David McNaughton,
I’m writing you today in regards to the Nadig newspaper article published in the Chicago Northwest Side Press, today, November 30, 2011. The article is titled, “Burglaries Increase in the District”, and it documents a 14% increase in reported burglaries in the 16th police district from this time last year.
You have sent out many helpful alerts in the last several months listing interventions residents can implement, themselves, to decrease their risks for home and garage burglaries. I’m wondering if there has been an official action plan devised by the Chicago Police Department to deter burglaries in the 16th District. Will the 16th Police District be implementing any new course of action or will there be an increase in patrol officers assigned to the district to deal with increasing incidences of crime?
Let me know if an action plan has been devised and how that plan may be obtained to share in a discussion on the 41st Ward Citizen's Blog.
Best Regards,
41st Ward Blog Moderator
Got to love this one. The City is suing itself because of a deal IT made years ago.
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/politics/clout/chi-city-sues-to-end-sweet-millennium-park-restaurant-deal-20111201,0,2053469.story
The Park District is a defendant in the lawsuit. The Park District is run by the City with a head who is appointed by the Mayor.
Soon the City will sure the Police Department, then the Fire Department, then Street and Sans, etc.........
I forsee about 2013 Emanuel will sue himself to get out of a deal he worked out for one of his people that works now but wont be working in the future.
It wasn't doze Austin coppers, it was the real pooleece over der on zone 10.
Yes, but did they get any curfews?

Major contract info.
The city is going to use the same tactics on the FOP that they used on the teachers union.
In the next contract the city is proposing using districts like schools. The officer will be an "employee" of the district instead of an employee of the department.
Like principals, District Commanders will have control over "non-tenured" officers. How much seniority tenure requires hasn't been worked out. The DC will be able to "fire" unproductive officers. The officer will then have to apply to a new district to keep his job.
Bottom line, after the new contract there will be no more unit bidding. All assignments to a district will be at the DC's discretion. The only way to move to a new district/unit will be to apply for an opening. Senority will have no bearing until you are "hired" in a new district/unit, then your seniority will count toward watch selection and furlough.
This lets the city weed out unproductive or problematic police officers. If a DC can get an officer out of his district and the officer cannot find a new district/unit of employment, then that officer will not collect a paycheck. He will, in effect, be fired.
The real impact will be for new hires. The downside for current officers is that once an officer moves to a no-bid unit and he is dumped, he would find himself unemployed until he was hired back into a district.

Wow, hate saying this, always thought you were an intelligent person, but you're an idiot!
Have you seen him play at all this year? And not just the ESPN highlights....I mean an actual game, from start to end, at all?
He is does John, he cannot play anymore. He got old quick and there is a reason why two teams (three if you count Philly) have let him walk.
The Bears need McNabb as much as the CPD needs Jody back.

How many of the FOP Board members give a shit what the contract says? Most are retired, a couple disabled, a couple have worked for the union for 10 years, and maybe 2 are assigned to Patrol, and they are probably TAC! FOP represents WHO?

Unless you are one of Rahm's Praetorians, the city doesn't want you to be a trained Rifleman on the street.
Dont waste your time taking a 'carbine operator' class, even if you can beat the clout conga line; take a real rifle course for free:

To get the Rifleman patch from this crew, you have to score the equivalent of expert on the current Army rifle qualification course.

Retire and get out of this clusterfuck.

agreed.....anyone wonder why the CPD continues to "work" (work=aggressive policing), given the hostilities of the politicians, the courts, liberal lawyers, and the Rhaminator? Should the CPD say....Dear Mr. Rhaminator, sir, we just quit (oh, we'll arrive for work and go through the motions, sir).....all very proper (unless someone needs to send some dead fish wrapped in newspaper back and forth)....

I call bullshit on this one. While I think Rahm would love to have this type of control over us peons there's nary a snowball chance in Hell of the FOP ever agreeing to this. I highly doubt an arbitrator would go along with such a drastic about face as this either.
Thankfully I'm about to join the KMA club and will not have to put up with all this nonsense for very much longer.

71 yaer old correctional worker...Wow! According to the article there is no mandatory retirement age for Cook County correctional workers. Patronage at it's finest.
How does a offender turn himself in while being pursued by police. Is the Chicago media made up of CPS graduates?

Indulge me, Coach Mensa. Permit me to pose a hypothetical: If God forbid, Caleb Hanie is injured, who's over the ball? Devin Hester? Dane Sanzenbacher? Julius Peppers?

So, I guess you should study harder.

John, then frankly, the Bears are screwed. I know all the chit-chat and unintelligent are saying sign the home grown kid, but really, he is done. There is a reason NOBODY put a claim in for him. Orton, completely different QB, and would have been a better option. It did not happen, we know that.
So what do the Bears do? They go with the QB they picked up, who is not much of an option, but at least he knows the Offense. I'll agree with you - McCown does not have the pedigree that McNabb does but, at this point, he is about equal in terms of ability. Mcnabb got old, fast. He got bad, real bad, fast. He did so much but declined too much.
How about this....Let us both hope that the nothing happens to Caleb? If it does the Bears are toast - unless the NFL has a CPD style merit process for teams in place to make the playoffs.
Still love 99.9% of your other posts John - Great stuff! However, this topic, IMO, you're dead wrong.
12:30 and particulary 6:02 AM:
Alright, ballbusters.
I concede that I was unaware that da Bears had signed Josh(ua) McCOWN as Hanie's backup ten days ago.
Furthermore, until now, I've never even heard of the 32-year old Texan out of Sam Houston State via SMU who was the overall #81 pick in the NFL draft based on the athleticism he displayed in the NFL combine back then. His career stats are at best, mediocre. At least, I now know that we do have a backup QB.
Still, due to your "unnecessary roughness", our first round is on you, Coach Asshole.
Regards.
Fair enough John...
Coach A-hole
