Nothing to See Here

Remember, CompStat tells us crime is down. All of these incidents, gleaned from the media reports by a helpful reader, mean nothing, nothing at all:

  • Just when they start to brag about Agg Batteries and homicides (sorry, shootings and murders) being down along comes another unseasonably warm weekend:

    3 shot, 1 dead in 014 (2 incidents)
    1 dead in 009
    1 dead in 017
    2 shot in 003
    1 shot in 006
    1 shot in 010
    1 shot in 011 (oops)
    1 shot in 015

    And that was just Saturday night!
All is well! Nothing to see here folks (and people)! Move along!

You have to talk to the mayor in the terms that he understands.

3 dead X $1,200 federal aid == $3,600.00 city revenue lost today!!

They're eff-in up your census numbers mayor!

Do we count stabbings, too ? Or only if it results in death? Since we aren't supposed to use the term "aggravated battery" anymore it seems we don't count them. Just askin'.

YOU ARE STUPID BEYOND BELIEF!


You're just as stupid as Obama, the mayor and McScrewTheTaxpayers...


The above idiot says...
"Oh, you live in a nice white neighborhood where your neighbors aren't all criminals?"

"Well why don't we just take all of your officers away so that the ghetto dwellers can feel safer and you taxpayers can feel the pain and become victimized more often so everyone is more equal?"


The answer to those questions:
What you're describing, son, is called SOCIALISM and we don't live in that country. It's bad enough Obama is trying to destroy our Constitution and our form of government. We don't need pussies like you trying to help him, so why don't you STFU and move to Europe if you don't like the way things are done here. It's people like you and the moron liberal Dems that are ruining our country and a lot of people are getting fed up and aren't going to take it much longer!

SCC , I was on Clear last night and was reading the administrative message regarding a person wanted for murder from the incident outside of the club on north Elston. As I read of this dastardly deed the message continued to say that the actions of this wanted individual resulted in the "homicide" of the victim. I hope the responsible person that posted this administrative message does not get sparred or even worse for using such foul language. You know equvilent to the "N" word.

I don't think you get the point. It is about being fucked over by this city's leadership, not having more cops hired, not receiving equiptment and training...the list goes on. Then only to be slapped in the face by them lying to the public and us saying crime is down. In small words for you, that makes them look like good bosses and leaders, are they? We our not suprised by 11 deaths in one night at all, but don't feed me shit and tell me its chocolate!

Compstat will be revealed for the farce it truly is come summertime.

Even if it were a legitimate methodology with proven results elsewhere (it ISN'T - ask the fellas from NY all about it), Chicago's ghettos and it's inhabitants are the greatest anomalies known to mankind. And balmy Chicago summer weather only seems to exacerbate this phenomenon.

There are common denominators in places where crime doesn't seem to want to take a breather. Apathy, acceptance, ignorance and dependence are just a few that immediately come to mind. All of these can be applied to the vast majority of those that live in areas like 007 & 011. The bottom line is THEY DON'T WANT TO BE SAVED. It doesn't matter how many life rafts the "U.S.S. Taxpayer" puts in the water for certain people, some just continually refuse to get aboard.

Most are content to tread water, remaining perpetual wards of the state, sucking at the taxpayer teat for sustenance from the cradle to the grave. No hurries, no worries. No responsibilities or stress. Just keep them 'free' checks coming and try not to pay too much attention to the fact that most of theIr 'supplemental income' is derived from illegal and nefarious sources.

I fully expect to see a whole bunch of Brassholes falling flat on their faces come July, desperately trying to explain why the community still isn't cooperating with CPDs best efforts to stem the tide of ghetto violence.

1). The officers at NN HS at present are doing gas masks for the upcoming G-8 as well as active shooter classes and G8 /Nato training.
Driving center only operates when there is training (one day a month)
the rest of time they are G8/Nato trainers.
"5 officers from slow Dist who have 5 years on the job send them to busy districts" = I don't know where you have been for the past 7-8 years but anyone with between 7 - 8 yrs on job are already in busy districts. They haven't been sending the ppo's to slow districts in years!
I agree no need for 2 Lt's on days. Light duty to HQ will not eliminate nor motivate LD. It just moves them to another location.
Plus, city is getting set to have that "active resister" test for ALL LD , IOD and non-IOD.
I agree, C/O should only have one secretary.

Cant speak for the other units but the Driving school has been pretty much closed since last summer. 4 of their Officers were sent back to the districts, of the remaining 4 one is doing the G8 training, 2 bounce back and forth to O'hare for the few days there is driver training and then they do G8, and one is split between doing driver training, G8 training and working the front security desk on afternoons.

And no, I do not work for the Driving School. I'm just explaining.

Close driving school? Chill out , sit back and enjoy the chaos! The only thing that will stop the carnage is when it runs it's course. Hell, I wish I had a corn cob cart at the scene of the 7 people shot. I would of made a ton of greenbacks from the bystanders looking at the bodies. Just remember watch your back and your fellow officer's back and don't take the streets home with you. Places like 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,15 are nothing but toon town. I have met Willey E. Coyote and let me tell you he is fucking nuts!
This carnage will only multiply around the G-8. you are taking this job way to seriously. I would like to type some more but Daffy duck and me are heading to the bar th th th tha that's all folks!

I think the point went waaaaay over your head. It's not that the Officers are surprised, Its how our "Bosses" are out and out lying and playing with the numbers. Its also about how that 011 and 007 are flooded with Officers that violent crime is moving elsewhere. This is something any beat cop could have told you that it was going to happen but McGenius cant figure it out. It also shows how short we are on manpower.

Really? How much more are the citizens of Sauganash, Edison Park and Peterson Park supposed to pay for and not receive any police service? The ENTIRE North end of the city has been stripped of police over the last 10 years. 016, 020 and 017 have about 200 or less cops per district. The last time I checked, they pay how much in property taxes on their single family home and get 5 cops per day working their beats, except for when they down the car because of a lack of manpower. Not to mention that the cops for these areas are spending a large part of their shift patrolling other beats where there is nonsense jumping off all the time.

The ghetto has plenty of manpower the taxpayers have no one watching out for them.
