West, South Sides Go Up
Crime is down!! All is well!!
A man was shot dead and another was critically wounded within minutes of each other in separate shootings late this afternoon on the city's West Side.
About 5:43 p.m., a 30-year-old man was shot on the 3000 block of West 25th Street. He was pronounced dead at the scene, said Police News Affairs [...]. As of 6:15 p.m., the Cook County medical examiner's office was not notified of the death.
About 5:41 p.m., another man, described as being in his 30s, was critically wounded in a shooting near Pulaski Road and Lexington Avenue. He was shot in the abdomen, O'Brien said.
Two people are dead and five others were wounded tonight in an apparent drive-by shooting near a liquor store on the South Side, officials said.
The shooting happened about 6:46 p.m. near or in a store located on the 2500 block of East 79th Street, police said.
Plus, it's a three day weekend - we still have to get through Monday.
And we're looking at straight middle-to-high 40's all week. Perfect shooting weather.

Wow! If homic...er, murders....were down 60% two weeks ago, they must be down over 100% now, right Gar?
Methinks the Gangstas is gonna go wacko during the G8 to make things very interesting.
017 has already exceeded by three the total number of homicides (opps)it had in all of 2011 (8) and it's only February...
This was in Sneed today.
Chicago’s murder rate, which had been sky rocketing off the charts early this year, has eased up dramatically.
Background: The first 23 days of 2012 saw a 74 percent increase in murders compared to the same time period last year (from 19 murders in 2011 to 33 this year).
Foreground: As of Friday, statistics show the murder rate is now only 9 percent greater than it was this time last year (from 44 murders in 2011 up to 48 in 2012).
The reason: Police spokesman Melissa Stratton, citing preliminary information, attributed the drop to a recent saturation of police resources in the 7th and 11th districts — which accounted for nearly one third of this year’s murders.
Why is the crime so high these ghetto neighborhoods that get most police resources yet pay no taxes??
Why should these areas get any police protection at all? Let them I'll kill each other and move resources to areas where people actually pay taxes.
Garry McCarthy is your reading this take notes!
How will this be spun? McStatboy will need a drink...
Well... It looks like that decrease 9.5 & McStfu were touting and parading around last weekend said "heee-haaww" took a huge shit and keeled over dead on stage with it's hooves sticking straight up.

How the fuck are you intelligent imbeciles going to spin it THIS time?
Nothing funnier than the smartest people ever not having the answers and people noticing that they don't have the answers.
That burns them the fuck up and the only thing they can do is beat on The Police Department.
can i get a fucking event #please!
Just normal "goings on" in Shitcago !!!
Let's go for pancakes !!!
3 shot 2 dead in 009 on sunday. Should be a great compstat meeting this week! Buckle up kids its going to get interesting out there!
What does McNutty and Rahm have to say about this?
Their silence will be deafening. They're only out front flapping their lips when they think there's something to brag about.
This whole house of cards that they've built with Compstat, claimed "adequate" manpower etc. will eventually crumble and the sheeple will eventually see these 2 for what they really are slick bullshit artists.
Every day is a weekend in the welfare ghetto. There's still plenty of unseasonably warm killer weather left to set some MURDER Records.
Hey, just thought of something...
Since we are no longer calling them Homicides and have just recently begun calling them MURDERS, that would mean that there will be a new record high number of Murders EVERY MONTH this year!
MURDER CITY, U.S.A.
Maybe after we Pepper spray everyone in the May summits, we'll become known as the Salsa And Pepper spray capital of the world!
Just sayin...
69 days til mayday. Gas will be over 5 bucks a gallon by then to add to the perfect storm.
Rahm'world is Hollywood with his brother or the North Shore where he grew up or Sauganash or the Mag Mile or DC where he honed his craft of mass manipulation. All the rest of us have to live in REAL Chicago that need REAL police and fire and real teachers because this place is a jungle. He may have fooled Frank Lame and Fran and the rest of the shameless suckups that provide him cover, but he don't fool me and the rest of SCC readers. This is just a taste of what will befall this city. The BEAST has taken over.

Is anybody else sick to death of the Whitney Houston coverage? There is something wrong with this country--just like when that pig Anna Nicole Smith died--who gives a rat's ass? They had the money and means, via access to the best rehab centers to straighten themselves out and chose not to--f*ck 'em. Seriously, with all that's going on in the world, the MSM covers ad nauseam (sp?) this crap?
Holy F*cking Shit!
McCarthy has a new spokesman!!!
Ch. 5 @ 0530 quoted a high-ranking MLD who said he hasn't seen this kind of pressure on the gang in 25 years!!!!!
So take that, you doubters! McRetard is doing a GREAT job!!!
What the f*ck has this world come to, when the news media relies on gang-bangers for info???? Seriously???
What did McDrunk do, pay this guy?
Enough to make you want to vomit.
I just posted about Ch. 5 quoting an MLD about McStupie. I am so outraged--we should bombard this station with phone calls....their number is (312) 836-5555.
Hey, I kind of like that one--McStupie!
Funny, McBeerBuzz was one of the guests on Craig Delamore's "At Issue" on WBBM over the weekend.
There he touted the early successes of 007 & 011s new 'community oriented' policing strategy. You know, the whole getting rid of gangs and drugs thing and how the ghetto inhabitants deserve the extra resources to help accomplish this task.
Too bad no one ever told him that nothing in the past has ever worked past the point of being anything more than a bandaide. Any approach at trying to save the savage from itself has been a dismal failure when all is said and done regardless of the amount of resources or cash you throw at it.
This latest incarnation of the CPD Smoke & Mirrors Tour will ultimately yield the same results, and is seen by those who know better for what it really is - an attempt by a handful of Brassholes to justify their existence.
Everything old is new again.
Yet they will still go on tv and say crime is down and people will believe cause they say so, this is so unbelieveable it isn't even funny. Stop lying Mayor.
40 degrees, 40 oz., .40 caliber....yeah! The real Chicago!
One day i was talking to a friend of mine and i said can you imagine if chicago was a warm place like miami or los angeles? The Devil, who was walking his dog Rahm nearby, and cant quite control the weather as well as God but appreciates a challenge, said ill show you what my west side kingdom is capable of.
Welcom G*Ate nato
Thanks Rahm Schenkel and Kirby
You can't secure the city so how the fuk can you do it in 5th Period?

Shut yo PIE HOLE! Crime is down dammmit! LMAO Love you SCC!
Bring out cha deaaaaaaad! Bring out cha deaaaaaaad! Bring out cha deaaaaaaad!
Yes, crime is down. And, they're not shooting the police anymore, too. I believe it. You should believe it. Kool-aid for everyone!
Sorry but Mc Numnuts is busy closing police districts and consolidating Area's. Also preparing for the new Comp Stat meeting.
If you are not satisfied with what is going on, then call your Alderman and let them know. They will tell you no but crime is down.
Someone should have given Chalkie some flowers or candy for Valentines day because he's pissed.
Nothing new!
This kind of stuff has been going on for the last 70 years in these hoods!
19-Paul this crap!
I'm reading the book The Crime Numbers Game: Management by Manipulation. Read the book it's worth the money. Everything these author's are writing about is plainly visible within our department. Changing the classification of crimes so they are not felonies, knock them down to misdemeanors. Commanders getting ripped at these compshit meetings in front of their peers. They also explain how unqualified commanders are in a position of leadership because they fudge the numbers and look good at these meetings. Then they get promoted further up the chain because they LIE. How anyone can follow this philosophy of criminal justice is beyond me. There is an old saying; give a statistician a group of numbers and they'll make it say whatever you want.
Rahm will soon learn why we had so many police, this summer is going to be extremely violent. And when there are not enough officers to patrol the ghettos, middle class Chicago will pay the price. All those cars will be taken from the lower crime areas and will be sent straight to the ghetto. Now I have to protect my neighborhood on my own time.
Thanks Rahm.
Just hire more Police so everyone can feel safe in there own neighborhoods.
G8 is coming, another disaster waiting....
Why is gas going up when it's under $100 a barrel and the goverment is letting oil refiners slow production?

She was hot, rich and (unlike Anna Nicole) talented. So, it got some press during a slow news week. It was nowhere near the Anna Nicole Smith coverage or the Michael Jackson coverage. The family really seemed to want to put the lid on it.
There'll be one last little blast when they announce the 'real' cause of death, then it should be over. Sure beats the heck out of the MONTHS of Anna 24/7.

It's very interesting that everyone complains about the Whitney Houston news coverage. However, magazine sales and news ratings garner more readers and viewers. The news industry or the media in general is selling a product (just like a beer or cereal). Obviously what goes for "news" today is selling.
In the mean time our country goes deeper in debt and the economy goes worse. While not a single person or corporation is held responsible for the mess they created. Also just think about this sad data point; in 1980 25% of all jobs in the U.S. paid below the poverty rate. Today it is 40%.
Mc Dumbfucky personally showed up to each crime scene and had to pick casings out of his shoes!
There goes another crime reduction award! Good thing I'll get the g8 award and bulls riot award in its place!
Beware Garfield Ridge a new gang has entered the hood, the Crazy Roaches. They're all white kids and their moms and dads are all cops and firemen.
008 tact says they have infiltrated Kennedy HS and causing some real problems. Watch the burglaries skyrocket by summer.
Don't forget the moida in 14 and the one in 17.

I've been saying this ( just like everyone else) for years. When I said taxpaying areas should file a law suit for depleting the resources in their neighborhoods, people started talking shit. Two years later, the savages (ACLU, the revs) are suing for poor police service, not enough police, racist police, ECT...As far as I know the law suit is still going through the court system. It's not a coincidence that the law suit was filled 4 months ago, then all of the sudden man power is moved to the shit bag savage police hating areas.
A joke for a mayor, and unfortunately a puppet for a super.
I'm asking all my brother officers to start ignoring, if you haven't already, the plight of the urban parasite's who in conjunction with one family from Bridgeport have destroyed our city. We will now police the far northwest side from Diversey, and west from Kimball. Officers on the Southside must create their own similar boundaries. Eventually, the ghetto will completely devolve into a Soweto-like place with father Phleger assuming ther role of Anglican Archbishop Desmond Tutu! This is what the ghetto want's anyway and ultimately it will mean less votes for the democrats. And as always-save yourself, vote Republican!

---------------------------------
I really think that this "over-coverage" covers up anything else that is newsworthy that "they" don't want people to be looking at (and asking questions).
There are so many issues that should be covered and yet "there is no time" because we must cover Whitney's funeral or other celebrity issues.
What about the Keystone Pipeline? What about the growing federal deficit? What about the parallel between Greece and the US as far as spending more than they can afford?
And on the local front - what about the lack of effort to equip and train the CPD for the upcoming G8/NATO Conference? No - Whitney's life story is much more important.
That's why I have stopped watching all the local news channels AND their bogus national news coverage. FOX is about the best when it comes to stories that ABC, CBS, and NBC don't seem to want to cover - like the Solyndra bankruptcy.
They're going to pause all of that when the G8 is here, though . . . . . . am I right?
Will they ever admit that manpower is down to dangerous levels? That this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Pookie, Ray-Ray and Flacko are just salivating over what they are going to do with the depleted manpower in the districts come late April, all of May and the beginning of June.
To the xo of a soon to close district, please remember to take your medication when you leave, you need it man.
And stop cutting the pills in half.
If the nice doctor says you need full size pills, Just take them.
We are begging you. The mood swings are ridiculous.
017 is A Sanctuary District for the Cartels,The more Illegals the more Murders.
4 people were shot in 009 between 1300hrs and 1900hrs. 2 homicides, and 2 agg.bats. GD / VL conflicts .. keep it coming
First there's Killins then comes the Chillins then mo' Killins.
Sort of like lather -rinse - repeat.
No guns No crime policy is working.
Either way the city is safe.
G8/NATO looks like a winner.
I seen a dog walking with a cat that had a bluebird on its back. Oh, and a rainbow !
Hey SCC how about a post about the copper getting shot in the 3rd district!!!! I am a little upset that you are a little too worried about posting all the shit heads that got shot over the weekend an not so worried about our own!! Thank god he was not seriously wounded!
According to my notifications at least 4 dead and over 20 shot for the weekend, a little above average.
I wonder who will get the contract for the morgue expansion project in the fall? Lmao
As long as all of our officers stay safe and it stays where it is commonplace... who cares?
OT: THE big changes are coming, THIS Friday, expect the recent surge in violence to be the catalyst for pulling the trigger finally.
Just a note to the younger coppers and to the "new breed" of sergeants! Stop with the "I will let you know if I need help," as you roll10/99 to calls, ALWAYS I MEAN ALWAYS WAIT FOR BACK-UP,a simple BURGLAR ALARM could blow up into shit! To the sergeants coding out shit why?
The most egregious and stupid shit is when the overtime like in some units is 15 hours per period many young coppers keep going and will work extra for free why? All you are doing is letting all of our long fought union rights be taken away! Like the MFF fiasco,you want to go out and spend your own money on equipment, and be "called out" to every shit sandwich the city has and no extra compensation? Myself have 1 year left then GOD willing will retire PLEASE STOP THE MADNESS! THEY ARE TAKING EVERYTHING FROM US AND LAUGHING AS THE "FRIENDS AND FAMILY THIEVERY TOUR MARCHES ON!"
I just got re-fitted for my old Marine BP Vest for when I next work in Austin/Madison or Englewood.
This is what City Hall created. Bottom line. You want to cut our numbers, not offer promotional exams, not promote, hold people hostage in far away districts, close districts, disband units, put cameras and gps in every car, settle lawsuit after lawsuit in favor of the scum of the city, reestablish the inspectors, not pay your obligated portion in to our pension, continually take care of the clouted few and on top of all that hire a fucking asshole who prances around on stage with a police hating, media whore "man of the cloth" and picks fights with coppers. What on God's green earth do you expect? A bunch of "go-getter" company men? NOBODY WANTS TO DO A FUCKING THING....and who can blame them? Proactive policing in this city has all but DIED (along with morale) and this is what you get and damn well deserve. You people are amateurs.
LET IT FUCKING BURN.

No but I am sick of Jennifer Hudson and her screaming voice on the weight loss commercials.
"No matter crime is down again"
Today I talked with PO Nancy Jones of the 3rd Dist. She was the working police and trained in 018. She transferred to the 003 District becaused she adopted a child and wanted to be closer to home. She was in a car accident while responding to an assist call and injured her spin in 2009. Question? How do you end up resigning from the dept in Jan. 2010? Answer , the Chicago Police Dept failed her and so did FOP. 12. Years of service, a hard worker, a really nice person whom was a FTO in her short career. She told me she got no help from the Dept or FOP and almost lost her house, while worrying about keeping a roof over head and food on the table for her child. She had pride in her job and the real work that she did.She was there to make arrest and back you up. I never heard of a benefit for her from the 3rd Dist. I guess since she could walk but not wear her gun belt because of her injuries, the Dept just kicked out the door. No, sorry she resigned because the Dept which she loved turned their backs on a worker. Sadly I only found out about what happened when just dropping her a call to see how she was doing. I talked her last April 2011, when another PO passed away and she never said a word. That's the type of person Nancy is, she has pride. Thank God she put some money away in deferred comp. Just remember Nancy when see what the police dept is coming too, trying take away your medical. Nancy layed it on line like most of you. She didn't get killed, she got injured responding to a call. A back injury and this is how the Dept and FOP repayed her.just remember that. You have people down at call back for years but you couldn't figure out or want to figure out how to keep a worker who served the Chicago Police everyday that she came to work. If you have her number give her a call, she misses the people whom she served with.. We advised her to revisit the FOP under new leadership and see if things have changed. Shame on the Chicago Police Dept. You let her down, and made her life a living hell.a real injury and this how you play it. Remember Nancy!
I would pay good money to see the supt and mayor's faces this weekend with all the shootings and homicides. they refuse to accept that we need lots more police and refuse to realize that Chicago is the savage land and there will always be blood.

"There is something wrong with this country--just like when that pig Anna Nicole Smith died--who gives a rat's ass? They had the money and means, via access to the best rehab centers to straighten themselves out and chose not to--f*ck 'em."
"I don't wanna go to rehab" -- the late Amy Winehouse.
Instead, they go the Howard Hughes route -- paying some doctor $150,000 a month to write them prescriptions, like the late Michael Jackson did.
I swear, I think Jackson caused a nationwide anaesthetic shortage. "Propofol" came off the FDA "Short Supply" list the minute he died. It was like he was using half the national supply -- powerful surgical anaesthetic that normally never gets outside operating rooms.
Whitney Houston? The one glimpse I saw of the inside of that hotel room showed beer and champagne bottles laying around and half-eaten food splattered all over.
Typical.
Yup. F--k these rich bustouts.
since we use less resources in lower crime areas lower our taxes..
What was the fair-haired boy wonder doing while mayhem visited Rambone's city?
He is grooming for a federal job but, man; do your current job in the meantime!
screw liberal chicago with their social experiment and their educational tier system..im sick of being pass by because of my color and now because where i live..when are going stop excepting these bullshit rules..
There are now strong rumors of Whitney
Houston's daughter being an drug addict. What a shame if she did this to her own child
Can't wait for this May when all police protection is for the G8 and these neighborhoods get to fend for themselves!
Thank God for no snow! What fool wants to stay indoors and do homework? Get a diploma anyways!
i guess 9 different gang faction this week made it to the top of gerry list he will obliterate them by monday by himself right after he gets rid of his hangover..
That's OK, the pretend -Police Boses of CPD will distort the numbers, and make it all OK, real soon. Retire ASAP, Troops...
citizen should demand a tax refund for less police service in there area..you will realize it when you return home and you are being robbed by a crackhead..
on behalf of the citizen of englewood i would like to thank you liberals for all the entitlement programs..btw i dont like the color of my iphone,i will take one g.d blue.
Who cares? Call Streets & San and have them haul the garbage away.
MLD's claim they're being forced to move around a lot -- big Sun-Times story.
I dunno if they're "reeling," but they're selling on other corners.
"Maniac Latin Disciples member Antonio Bucio is the one who brought on the heat, police say.
"Bucio allegedly shot two young girls, ages 2 and 7, on June 8 in Avondale Park on the Northwest Side while he was gunning for rival Latin Kings. The 2-year-old was grazed in the head. The 7-year-old was shot in the back. Both survived.
"An imprisoned leader of the Maniac Latin Disciples is furious at Bucio because the police attention is now undercutting the gang’s drug sales, sources say.
"The leader ordered Bucio’s expulsion from the gang, sources say. Chillingly, he also ordered fellow gang members to approach Bucio in the Cook County Jail and cut off his facial tattoo: a “D” with horns representing the gang. Bucio has it tattooed next to his right eye.
“Rip the tattoo off of his face!” was the leader’s order.
"Only the intervention of other Maniac Latin Disciples in the gang’s hierarchy prevented the gruesome command from being carried out, sources say.
"The [city] sticker flap heaped even more unwanted attention on the gang."

How about scrolling down three or four posts and seeing what went up last night during the actual incident?
This isn't by any means a "live" blog, but sometimes we manage to be on top of events as they unfold, instead of sitting back in the cheap seats and playing catch-up while looking like a completely out-of-touch tool.
Quinn: Medicaid must be cut back
Heh, the Apocalypse is moving right on sched.
This is not going to go over well.
Over 50% of births in Illinois are under medicare and overall 50% of the people on medicare are those in nursing homes or so I'm told.. and you know they are living high on the hog right?
Make sure that you don't sentence them to die until after the elections so the aldermen and the mayor can get their votes k?
02:54 Quinn's talking about Medicaid, you are talking about Medicare Big difference Medicare is for the over 65, Medicaid is not Its like talking apples and oranges
The Crazy Roaches are nothing more than a bunch of wannabes bangers. They smoke dope and look for problems with legit kids on the neighborhood. The 008 th district is keeping tabs on them so I wouldn't worry.
Hey, keep up the great work and stay safe. I agree with Anonymous who said the gangstas will be going wacko during the G8 biz. My thoughts are that they will be way more trouble than the actual protesters. Any thoughts?
Rahm will soon learn why we had so many police, this summer is going to be extremely violent. And when there are not enough officers to patrol the ghettos, middle class Chicago will pay the price. All those cars will be taken from the lower crime areas and will be sent straight to the ghetto. Now I have to protect my neighborhood on my own time.

Welcome back from furlough Dave! Did you miss this place.?
Your seat will be very, very hot during the upcoming Compstat meeting.
Maybe you could redeploy some of those 7-8 officers you've got hidden in your office..... you know put them out there on a violence suppression mission. Of course most of them would need FTO's!
Squad...ehh there seems to be a total flashmob of hoodlums looks to be around 50,000, smashing out windows, starting vehicles fires, looting, fights, total mayhem...What? ...refer to my mini formation booklet?
...ok then give me an event# give this a 19P..and let me take lunch.
come on murderers and shooters ...

Because it serves someone's interest for the price to be inflated. Just who is that someone is the question.
This was in Sneed today.
Chicago’s murder rate, which had been sky rocketing off the charts early this year, has eased up dramatically.
Background: The first 23 days of 2012 saw a 74 percent increase in murders compared to the same time period last year (from 19 murders in 2011 to 33 this year).
Foreground: As of Friday, statistics show the murder rate is now only 9 percent greater than it was this time last year (from 44 murders in 2011 up to 48 in 2012).
The reason: Police spokesman Melissa Stratton, citing preliminary information, attributed the drop to a recent saturation of police resources in the 7th and 11th districts — which accounted for nearly one third of this year’s murders.
------------
Channel 2 puts the weekend tally at 7 dead, 18 wounded by gunfire. (Any stabbings, beatings, falling TVs to add to the mix?)
So, uh, 48 plus 7 is 55 murders to date. 55 minus 44, carry the two...
Homicides went from being up "just 9%" when Sneed phoned this one in from home on Friday to up 25% by the timer her article ran on Monday.
If shooting deaths were a stock, I'd give it a very, very strong BUY!

You are absolutely right!! While I did not know Nancy, I do know that there are plenty of deserving police officers on this department who are about to get screwed big time because of the "light duty" abusers in call back, and especially in the court section!!! I personally know people who have no physical problems whatsoever in their personal life, but have been hiding in those too units for years with "back problems" or other b.s. issues. IT SUCKS for those who REALLY need it!! When are GMac and Rahm going to start clearing out the court section??? Talk about a bunch of paper pushing, no need to be the police for this assignment, could pay a civilian half this for the same job, cowards. Or is that the last bastion of the politically taken care of...besides I.S.???
I love it! Protesters went over the river and through the woods to Rahm's house!!! How long do you think it will be before the city council passes an ordinance forbidding protesters from being on his block???
Pick up your buddies from the morgue!!!! ASAP! Weeez gotts no room in there. Thanks for your business

Today I talked with PO Nancy Jones of the 3rd Dist... the Chicago Police Dept failed her and so did FOP. 12. Years of service, a hard worker, a really nice person whom was a FTO in her short career.

Sounds like CPD made the crash 'avoidable'. That was her biggest problem, but there is, what, 3 years non-duty disability at 50%?
This Dept has been doing this for years. Even if you're permanently injured during an IOD, you better get a lawyer and sue them, because they WILL NOT just give you the IOD pension. They always say that your inability to return to full duty has NOTHING to do with your IOD.
A friend of mine working traffic control, received electrical burns from a faulty intersection control box (stop lights). The officer had nerve and muscle damage in their forearm that caused them to be unable to complete firearms qualification. After a year on medical, they were placed on NON-duty disability.
At a hearing for DUTY disability, the Dept said they believed the nerve damage was REALLY the onset of multiple sclerosis and NOT from the IOD. The officer was forced to bring in a physician who was an expert in electrical burns and their affects on burn victims, to testify (successfully), against the medical section. It's like what defense attorneys do in criminal court. They throw out all kinds of lies and bullshit and hope that something will stick or someone will believe their stupidity.
It's really disgusting that the Department cares so little for those who do what's right and end up permanently injured without so much as a "Thank you, Officer."
Wait until the goons cooking the books on the crime stats try this out:
Gun shot victims = lead poisoning EPA's problem
Knifings = Work accidents OSHA's problem
Hit and run = Defective cars Mfg problem
Pretty soon Chicago will be crime free.
One of the punks that started up the Roaches at Kennedy is the son on a detective in area 4. Not sure how much discipline the kid gets in his home life but he has a mouth that that you normally don't see in the neighborhood. I have stopped him probably a 4-5 times walking around beat 811 and if he's not drunk, high, or just being a problem he's being a mouthy punk to the police. He got locked up last week but the kid showed about as much remorse as a GD from 007.
That's why I have stopped watching all the local news channels AND their bogus national news coverage. FOX is about the best when it comes to stories that ABC, CBS, and NBC don't seem to want to cover - like the Solyndra bankruptcy.

So did my brother. He now gets his news from infowars.com or something like that. If you like conspiracy theories, you'll love it.
Off topic. If you really want to get mad about what kind of crap we are gonna have to deal with for nato/G8 just watch this video. Now I warn you its about 12 minutes long of that goof andy thayer ranting on about everything under the sun.. Then, if you start watching after 9 minutes you can tune it to him bitching about the CPD.. And if you continue to watch you can actually see him in action baiting two coppers into a verbal conflict then he calls the coppers jackasses on camera snickering away about it... multiply this video times 100 thousand and thats what will be here for g8.. I almost pulled my hair out listening to his crap.. anyway, here is the link..

-Never will know because Media will not cover like Bulls riots under Daley
You know we have a voice. If enough people complan, some things can change. Channel 5 used a gang member for a source. I called and complained. If enough people do it they wont use them anymore. Call 312-836-5555. This brings me to my next rant. Why would any mayor do anything for the police, we don't vote. If more officers voted, this city would take us more seriously.

Send 'em to the Carver Funeral Home.
Ain' got no 'lectricity.
Winter, they keep 'em out in the garage.
Summer, they freeze gallon jugs of water, things like that, and put them around the bodies, trying to stave off decomposition.
What IS it with these operations? Tri-State Crematory down in Georgia, hundreds of bodies littering the woods around it, that cemetery in Alsip where Babyland just, well, disappeared and the Sheriff had to take charge...
Im rarely on this blog but i respect and enjoy the dialogue. I am writing this to inform officers that tommorow, 21 feb 12, offender howard morgan who shot two police officers in 05 is being sentenced. an officer safety alert was issued for the four officers(victims)in this case today because apparently shitheads sent out flyers to pack rm 600 to protest the sentencing. If any officers in court at 26 can stop by rm 600 to show support it would be grealy appreciated. thanx in advance
OT..Just saw the story on how Torano Canada spent $800 Million on security for the G20 summit. HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH!!!! We are in for a real nightmare. We are hosting the G8 and NATO at the same time. WOW!!! This city is run by the dumbest and most selfish people on earth. Good luck dummies.

I thought the original poster was joking!!!!
Remember, McDrunky and Tracy-fat say compstat is working though!
very warm winter,oil surplus prices should go down RIGHT, wrong oil companies ship the surplus overseas to charge consumers in europe more (oil cost more overseas) in turn creating a false shortage here now they can gouge us win win for big oil watch Fox news they report on the subject nightly
Everybody thought the Popes were just a bunch of wannabes Gang bangers too. The district needs to do everything in its power to get rid of these fucking losers and their families. I could care less if anybody is a fireman or cop. If you can't control the kid then MOVE OUT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD!
Kevin Bacon was great in that movie.
"Well, I don't want to seem (glances at Flounder as he edges closer)...pushy."
Look out Garfield Ridge for the the gang cts. They have been seen by McDonald's on archer and espically in the alley. As you can tell by the taggings.
