13,000?

  • After the service, Police Supt. Garry McCarthy had his own message regarding the gunmen.

    “We’re going to get ‘em. Make no mistake.”

    When asked if he had evidence to back the claim, McCarthy said, “I have 13,000 Chicago police.”

So what does that mean? Here's one scenario:

  • Defense Attorney: Please state your name and position in the Chicago Police Department for the record.

    GMac: Garry McCarthy, Superintendent

    DA: And exactly how many police officers do you command?

    GMac: 13,000

    DA: I have here a listing of personnel currently employed by the CPD. Could you read that number at the bottom?

    GMac: 9,247

    DA: That isn't 13,000 is it?

    GMac: Well, no.

    DA: So you're committing perjury?

    GMac: Well, it was 13,000 about 20 years ago.

    DA: And this other statement about evidence to back your claim - are you suborning perjury from "13,000" Chicago Police Officers?
Hush up aleady, Let the detectives work the case and stop making statements to the press that can be picked apart in a few years.

Yup...

Everybody that claims to be somebody have been DESPERATELY trying to keep the actual manpower numbers hushed up SCC...

Anybody with a brain in their fucking head knows EVERY DISTRICT is DOWN @ 200 P.O.'s or more since the year 2k.

Remember when we had LOTS OF HELP?

Remember when ALL the beat cars were up on ALL watches and there were at least 6 rapids on second watch and 12 to 20 rapids on 3rd & mids in addition to a handful of incident cars?

Two or more wagons?

Where the fuck did all the Police go? O_o?

4000+ retirements in a decade?

Maybe an additional percentage of that number in resignations & terminations?

How many hires in that same time frame?

Less than a thousand?

"How To Intentionally Destroy A Premiere Municipal Police Department Through Attrition & Cheerfully Bullshit The Taxpayers While Doing It"

By RMD, J-fled, 9.5 & Mouthy McLousy Spouse...

So...

The plan was to fuck the taxpayers who pay the freight out of Police service and gift the catered to constituents with more resources way out of proportion to what they pay into the pot because they're noisy, fuck a lot and make a lot of l'il Democrats?

Our sinister and don't give a fuck side says this is a serious provocation and grounds for the taxpayer to justifiably starve the Chicago criminal-political & media democratic machine of what it needs to run.

If not try to kill it outright and incinerate the decaying, corrupt parasitic body politic that drains the taxpayer dry.

Ugh... Burn the bedding while you're at it.

Did ya ever wonder why they fight so hard against concealed carry, term limits, putting a recall referendum on the books and chaining the big money political contributors together then sewing them into a tarp weighted with cannon balls then kicking the howling, squirming, crying and shitting mess overboard?

The taxpayer is getting a warm double-handful of fermented, fungus encrusted Jackson J. Squat from their elected officials and are being told "be glad you're getting this much?"

Oh. Hell. No.

2010 - 449
2011 - 438
2012 - 821

Remember, Rahm comes up for election again, so let's keep track of both his and McCarthy's lies and make certain we KEEP THEM IN THE FACE OF THE PUBLIC.

Three more years is a long time to wait, but the more we DOCUMENT the FACTS, the better chance we have of making certain he is NOT re-elected.

FINALLY: VOTE. If you are not a registered voter and do not VOTE on election day, then you have no basis to complain.

Then we presented the image of a safe city to offset the bad news of losing one of our guys --

CHICAGO—
The Chicago Police Department just received an important clearance to build a new shooting range on the Southeast Side.

The Metropolitan Water Reclamation District controls the land; Thursday its board members agreed to lease the land to the city.

The range will open on property along the Calumet River in the 2000 block of E. 134th St.; critics wanted the land preserved as an open space for wildlife and recreation.

The range will be built with money seized during police drug raids.

Just as a point of information the below is an excerpt from the Audited Annual Report of the the Pension Board:

The following table reflects the plan membership as of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008.
Changes in Plan Membership
As of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008
2010-2009
2010 2009 2008 Change % .
Retirees and beneficiaries
receiving benefits 12,380 12,154 12,183 226 1.9
Active employees 12,737 13,154 13,373 (417) (3.1)
Terminated (inactive members)
employees entitled to benefits
or refunds of contributions 620 634 636 (14) (2.2)
Total 25,737 25,942 26,192 (205)

It doesn't come out formatted correctly and is too much trouble to change, but it shows 12,737 as of the end of 2010, which I am aware is about a year ago, but the true number is probably about 12,000 right now, not the 9000 bullshit some of you are trying to sell. The numbers are probably not distributed correctly, but there it is. I am sure the actual, up to date numbers are available through the department's computers for those still active. I am not. You can find the same pension board information at:

Question for you: how many retiring military personnel traditionally go into law enforcement? I know that many vets return to very few job prospects - is there a tendency to go into law enforcement? And, on that note, how often are new police hired, and how many people at any one time want to become police? I have read this blog long enough to know that it's probably more of a hiring issue than an issue of people wanting the job. Is that true?

Ya wanna know what's REALLY amusing SCC?

Didn't City Hall recently "revise downward" the "budgeted authorized manpower" of CPD to somewhere in the 11K's?

That way they can show an "actual" shortage of around 2300 or so... Which we recall they VERY GRUDGINGLY admitted to last year some time.

Heh... As if 2300 is more acceptable than 4000 plus, right?

(Mouthy McLousy Spouse doesn't care if Coppers and a few citizens are wise to his bullshit... As long as the media doesn't run with it and give it exposure)

Why do you think the smartest mayor and the smartest itinerant police executive (read as: gold star vagabond who wanders from city to city running his gypsy-style "yer chimney needs fixin" L.E. scams) in the world are SO FIXATED on turning CPD upside down like they're doing?

Because they have no answers to the question they're trying very hard to keep from being asked.

We'll put it out there...

CPD has intentionally fucked up by the previous mayor.

How to fix it?

A fix ain't gonna happen with the prevaricating cretinous cuckoo birds currently in charge.

Look for them to continue beating the shit out of the Blue Suits in the media, flinging shit against the wall and floating every mad-assed, rabid rabbit-minded change/consolidation & relocation to keep the public distracted.

They're here to lay a big turd in everybody else's nest for 3 more years then flying away to "bigger and better" things while chirping cheerfully, "At least we left you with an egg!"

We owe a debt to the 67% who sat on their asses enabling the 55% of the 33% to send this city to hell...

That's the math equation that drives us the maddest out of everything.

L'il Boris Karloff pimp walked, bitch slapped and bojanked this city courtesy of less than 20% of the registered electorate.

No wonder he ain't givin' a fuck about nobody! Now the alderfools have the nerve to be pissed because he lied TO THEM?

I hate to bash Dept hiring produces but the Dept's trend to hire 5'04" F/4's for diversity is not exactly intimidating to a violent group of Anarchists.

"The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

Dear Scc,
I don't care anymore, really. So what, no matter what he says or the mayor, the people will believe them, it doesn't make a difference. If he said 8,000, do you really think the public would know the difference? They don't know the difference between 8 or 11, how could they? We do cause we live it, they don't. All they know is their water bill is going up and the libraries are going to close on Mondays and the police salaries and pensions are going to suck the life out of them. All they know is that we are trigger happy. They don't care about what is going on with us, they only care about what is happening at the moment, in their lives. They don't have a clue as to what is going on and if they did, what are they going to do about it? Vote him out in 3 years? And who the hell is going to replace him, the "crackhead"? Maybe they will become part of Occupy Chicago? NOT, why? Because they don't give a shit. They aren't going to do a thing, nothing, because it doesn't have anything to do with them (so they think), untill something happens, then it's "what took the police so long", then it fades away, just like always. Just like with this station supervisor shit, until something happens, which is going to, we all know it, then it fades away and some other BS takes its place. All we have to worry about right now is:
Back each other up, all the time
You dog asses, you know who you are, back up your fellow officers
We only got each other people, and our families. That's it, keep safe, G8 is on the way, pray for the military to roll their tanks down LaSalle.

11:31 Congrads, someone is finally making sense. The supt has so many po's to handle the G8 period. Cant hire anyone and train them by May so man up and deal with it.
Does anyone really think the supt doesn't want more po's. You would have to be an idiot to think that.
Quit being the voice of doom and I am sure that there are plenty of as people say "hair gels" out there that will get the job done, that arent worried about safety issues, lunch and clean washrooms.

Is anyone in the media EVER going to call he or Rahm out on this crap? We have roughly 9,000 Officers in TOTAL. If the G-8 goes bad we could instantly absorb loses of 1,000 to 1,500 in I.O.D's, Heart Attacks, God Forbid D.O.A.'s in the span of a week. (If you think this is way off base, a simple school dismissal fight can easily lead to 3,4 I.O.D.'s). I hate to bash Dept hiring produces but the Dept's trend to hire 5'04" F/4's for diversity is not exactly intimidating to a violent group of Anarchists. We NEED to hold the Cities feet to the fire BEFORE the summer and point out the ineptitude of the Daley/Emanuel Regimes before the Summits.

Figured I would break this down for you SCC & readers..

October 27th, 2011 McNut was grilled by alderman over several CPD issues, including staffing.

On page 35 of the report, McNut is asked how many PO's are on the STREET in the districts, which he replied 7047 as being on the street.

This information is below on page 35

http://www.cityofchicago.org/content/dam/city/depts/obm/supp_info/2012%20Budget/2012BudgetDeptCmteDocs/CPD.pdf

Now this fool comes out and says that there are 13,000 CPD members...really? So you are telling me that 13,000-7047= 5953 Officers working as detectives & in administrative functions?

Go back to New York.

Maybe you should not have skipped reading when you were in Kindergarten. On pg 34 he says that as of Dec 2011 the projection is for 12,580, which is probably close. When you take out Captains, Lieutenants and Sergeants along with Detectives and other D-2A's and FTO's and other D-2's, AND realize that he is giving a daily total, which has to account for the fraction that is Day Off, P Day, Furlo, Medical, etc. that number is pretty close. You have to read everything not only that which makes you appear to be correct. Dope!

CHICAGO—
The Chicago Police Department just received an important clearance to build a new shooting range on the Southeast Side.

The Metropolitan Water Reclamation District controls the land; Thursday its board members agreed to lease the land to the city.

The range will open on property along the Calumet River in the 2000 block of E. 134th St.; critics wanted the land preserved as an open space for wildlife and recreation.

The range will be built with money seized during police drug raids.

To make the "13,000" comment was out of place at a fallen hero's memorial service. It was nothing more than posturing and grandstanding for his gain. He just showed what a self-centered classless ass he is.

Same goes for Quinn and Alvarez to be there. Alvarez is no friend of the police or the law abiding citizens of this county.

Emanuel looked and sounded so out of place it was pathetic. He was there because he is the mayor and he was told it was a civic job function. He appeared to have no empathy for the officer's family or colleagues or understanding of what the loss is really about.

He will show his total lack of empathy and compassion to the police when contract time comes around.
