They Got Cameras, Right?
If there's any place that has more cameras than a CTA platform or station, we'd like to know so we can avoid them also. And aren't cameras supposed to prevent crime?
- A man was found shot at a South Loop “L” station this evening, police said.
A 21-year-old man suffered a gunshot wound in the upper torso in the attack in the 1100 block of South State Street about 7 p.m., said Chicago Police News Affairs Officer Darryl Baety. The man was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in serious-to-critical condition, according to the Chicago Fire Department.
Remember, it's 100% safe on the CTA. Come downtown! Spend money!

For decades that area was alive with hundreds of police coming and going every few hours (1121 HQ and 1st Dist), now it's just another overpriced yuppie wasteland loaded with criminals just an arms reach away!
Old Timer.
This group was all part of the fighting that was happening on Michigan Ave. earlier in the evening.
Yep, those "teenagers" were at it again.
Here's a Chicago tip. If a place has south or west in the location stay away. Yeah there are exceptions but usually it's a good rule of thumb.
We all no they lye about where it happened
What's a 21 year old man doing on the streets at 7pm for anyway?
He's just asking to get shot.
He should be at home, locked inside his house resting until it's time to go back to his shovel-ready job so he can pay taxes and support the mayor and the governors campaign contribution tax break schemes.
We should extend the curfew hours for the peoples safety like we do for the chilllldreeeennnsss. Ya know..? These people have no business being outside their homes.
This was a result of the wilding that was going on in 018 all afternoon. A mob of 30+ was seen on the L platform at Roosevelt by po's wilding out and running prior to the shots fired. All those kids had been pushed onto the redline from chicago and state. They changed lines at Roosevelt were it all went to shit. Mobs running around 018 all afternoon , 19&20 Dist tact A3 strike teams called in. First hand knowledge . 1 in custody, weapon recovered on the tracks. Unsure if the kid in custody was the shooter
How much did Racoon Eyes just piss away on these cameras? $15 MILLION! What a total fucking waste of money!
that was related to the groups of "teens" coming down for the wildings downtown using the redline..
Last I checked, camaras are NOT going to come off the wall to arrest the bad guy!
By the way CPD, Fuck you and Your Compstat numbers! They full of bullshit!
Da Pelon
the ten o'clock news on cbs showed the victim being taken into an ambulance and swearing at the reporters and camera crew then throwing up gang signs as he was being placed in the ambulance...too bad the paramedics did not give that pos an iv with nothing but air in it
They were just fixin to put cameras in at that location.....
I hate to say it, but the mass transit unit has been a hiding ground for many years. Way too many of the officers assigned there duck for most of their tours of duty. It has been going on since the 80's. It is rare to see the police riding the trains and in the stations.
All those cameras and they catch NOTHING.
I bet if there was a tra$$ic camera on that platform, this heinous crime would not have happened.
More cameras now! You know, for the children.
Watta' say Rahm?
Maybe the bullet was a Christmas gift? How touching was that, you now what the price of lead is nowadays?
Thank goodness I have a 13B furlough.
Victim was a gang banger. Not random.
I see Police on the trains all the time, just not enough of them.
You need more Police, not cameras. All the cameras at that station and they captured nothing!
Simple fact, they need to hire more Police! Every Police Dist./ Unit is way too short of people. Stop wasting money on cameras, that can't arrest anyone and rarely do any good at all. The picture quality is terrible and obviously they do not deter crime.
That wasn't gang signs the Ghetto Hood was throwing up. The paramedics asked him on a scale of 1 to 10 how much pain he had. See that...Cops jumping to contusions for no reason!

I bet if those little jagoffs had jumped the turnstiles they would have been arrested immediately.
Mass Transit Tact was in the 001 District w/turnstile jumpers when this occurred. C'mon guys we can't be everywhere!
"I hate to say it, but the mass transit unit has been a hiding ground for many years. Way too many of the officers assigned there duck for most of their tours of duty."
Hey I got 36 juvenile turnstile jumpers last period. Quack Quack, Mass Transit Tact.

way to many officers!!Why don t u check 1st before opening ur mouth on the numbers.The unit is down to 130 and 1/3 on either on tac or canine.So maybe 80 p.o, s for all 3 watches to man 5 lines.And most of the time the deputy has some kind of fixed post assignments.By the way New York has around 3500 mass transit officers.
mass transit hide out for the connected , send them back to districts
Isn't there a foot post there yet? For God's sake, Stevie Wonder could catch these mopes...do they need to leave breadcrumbs? Saturate the friggin' area already!
Its like calling the kindergarden for help. A/3 pleeeaaase.
maybe just maybe if all three third watch 701 sergeants did not need to drive around together in the same vehicle in the 003rd dist maybe just maybe this could have been prevented?
Mass Transit needs Sgt Peppermint Patty to comeback from retirement. He always had flowing hair and a point 3-0 breath.

Can you read???? Didn't say too many he too many not doing shit but hiding. Whenever I worked CTA or was detailed on a platform I NEVER saw a copper assigned from Public Transit. Usually they are hiding in CTA employee lounge. I agree the PT unit should be much bigger, but the ones that are there don't do shit. The PT section should be about 500 with a good portion of that plain clothes and working on robbery patterns and following the roving herds.

Are these numbers real? If they are, that is crazy.
I'm assigned to Mass Transit and I'm connected. My foot bone is connected to my ankle bone and my ankle bone is connected to my leg bone and my leg bone is connected to my hip bone, etc etc Now go wash that gel out of your hair !
