Murders 21, 22, 23 and 24
Not only did we blow past the March 2011 total (22 total murders), Chicago did it in STYLE!
- Four men were killed and 11 other people wounded in shootings Saturday night and Sunday morning across the city's South and West Sides.
Rumor has it that Blackberries across the city exploded with the shooting notifications, which as of this moment total 5 dead and 26 wounded in a single warm weekend with all of Sunday still to come.
And once again, it falls on the blog to call for the resignation of a Superintendent who can be described as nothing but a failure, a New York charlatan who has done nothing but destroy the Chicago Police Department. Morale is shot, equipment is broken, training is inadequate, leadership is nonexistent, and the entire ability of the police department to respond to crime and disorder problems is called into question.
And Rahm can go fuck himself, too. We're retired...we can say that.

The supe was in Butch mcguires on division all night! No bs! Saw him there while working my ass off out there!
I agree, SCC.
mccathy is the ron popel of police. great plan garry,move these guys there move those guys over here,close this down ,close that down. smoke and mirrors..
when is the government gonna stop aiding these gangbanger,sex offender and violent criminals.every time one of these assholes get hurt we save them so they can keep their bullshit up and we feed them and pay for their babies..
Would anyone care to predict what Mcstupid will say to try to spin the numbers for this month? Maybe he can blame it on the Aurora Borealis.
I grew up in Chicago (Harlem & Foster) and moved away in the 80's. As the City deteriorates and becomes more and more hostile I find it less and less likely to come visit or bring friends to see the sights. My of my buddies had dads who worked on the force, and back in the 70's things worked pretty well. Hope you guy's stay safe and retire in one piece. Suggestion: move out of Chicago if you get a chance.
The 3 shot in 009 are retaliation for the 4 shot in 007 at 55th and Ashland. EVERYONE knew that this was coming but hey who gives a shit. That was outside of the violence zone in 007 so who cares right? Resign Mcarthy!!!!!!!
5 and 12 baby!
So friday and saturday is what now?? 7 and 28?
Hot damn. First warm weekend of the year. I know I'm beating a dead horse, but too bad their aim is so bad.
Gonna be a wild one this summer!
How can ya top that? Bravo SCC. Simply Bravo!
anyone have a year to date total on homicides and agg batteries (oops, murders and shooting victims)? we must be getting close to some sort of records....
Where's the Frank and Fran disney press corps. "All is well no chosen kids got shot" la la la la la la.
It all the patrolmens fault if a few "browns" die. Thats just "SCC sensationalism" this city is really a fun place" lalalalalala.
You retired?? Congratulations if that is true.
SCC--
Would it be possible to have an open post after detailing some of the det complaints you've heard? Since I got to my new area, no one has told me what to do, how to do things, etc. Not a peep of direction from the sgts., who seem as disgusted as we are. I spend half of my time going from printer to printer looking for my case report, changing settings, looking for my cases.
Also, what is with the 'cover sheets' whenever you print something? It has your PC # on it and the title of what you've printed. This happens EVERY time you print something. I threw away at least 60 of those things yesterday, because I had a million cases and other things to print out. Multiply that by the hundreds of det's 100's of times a day, and you could fill a room with the wasted paper. Whose braniac idea was that????
The lack of direction is astounding. Roll call is just that--a calling of names. Nothing about what is going on, what we are supposed to be doing, etc. I heard we are assigned districts, but nobody has told me anything about it.
These conditions make it impossible to do your job. It took me an hour the other day just to be able to get something to print. We had one printer available. You can have a printer right next to your desk, but you cannot change the settings to print to that computer. I spend more time looking for shit than it did to type it up!!!!!
No cars/radios available unless you are lucky enough to grab one right off the bat. I know the troops on the street have it worse, but us not being able to do our jobs directly affects what is going on out there because we cannot give them the support they need.
Phones ring off the hook. One person to answer phones is ridiculous. Four or five calls come in at once. I still do not have voicemail, so victims I've called have no way to contact me unless they catch me in the office. The time spent duplicating efforts is ridiculous.
What kills me is that no one from cpd's management staff is qualified to run the police department when our sup is fired. Our leadership is lacking in either management capability or police know how. Our system for promoting the most highly qualified individuals (how should I say it) sucks the big one. The city has allowed the political machine decide who is qualified to supervise and manage the troops. There are numerous solutions to this problem but the political machine would not like or approve of them.
RHAM has made security worse
Just wait till NATO and the Major Events that are bound to happen
Can't see shit, don't want to see shit, refuse to see shit, no time to see shit , now with the Crime Boxes I'm not allowed to see shit. A hearty fuck you Rahm, look at the mess you daley and obamma and j-fled , mc pissbum, father phaker and ilana rosenpig and crew made. YOU clean it up!!!
What would KOJAK do?
Dear SCC,
Just an FYI. Dept. of Revenue out in force in Mt. Greenwood. Now writing tickets for parking across your own driveway. Many of us park this way to keep other vehicles off our driveways, or turning around in them as safety for our CHILDREN, who enjoy darting down the driveway, and playing there. These tickets are $150.00. Many parties at homes, graduations, proms, etc... are upcoming and residents park across TEIR OWN DRIVEWAYS just to utilize parking space. These cowards from DOR are hammering everyone. Would like to know if this is happening in Edison park, and Ravenswood too? It's certainly not happening in Englewood or other havens of the The two legged DOG! They whack "US" because we pay.
Let's start whacking them. DOR rats frequently drive left of center to hang tickets on vehicles, double park, or park ilegally. They also disobey bicycle regulations, and trespass upon private property to see both vehicle license plates and city stickers. They have no police powers or are acting in an emergency situation. Therefore they are subject to the same vehicle codes, and laws of everyone else. Let's start CITING them for their violations, or locking them up for trespass. Rahm and McSkilling sent them to fuck us, fuck them! You want revenue, do it city wide, stop discriminating against the working class, that is employed by the city and has no choice but to pay. Oh Yeah and FUCK both Jesse Jacksons...Thanks SCC, that feels better!
Last night I took the misses out for a nice dinner to a restaurant near water tower. I have never in my life seen such animalistic behavior. I hate to describe it that way, but that is exactly what these youths were acting like. Walking in packs (I estimated one pack at about 75), yelling, running in traffic, fighting in the park. These animals really have no type of social skills that will ever make them worthy of mixing with civilized society. Where are thre parents, how come the reverends, community representatives and the alderman don't have anything to say about this.
If this continues there is no way a tragedy will not occur soon. But I'm sure then the parents, reverends, and other community representatives will be have something to say and sue.
Don't forget about the dead body found in a car trunk in 011.
Worst planning ever. They didn't even think about St. Patricks day or check the weather report. was a complete disaster. Lets not forget about the flash mobs on Michigan.
And welcome to the Club, SCC! This is great. Congrats on surviving the career.
When did your old tired ass retire??!!! Congratulations on reaching the finish line......and these murder totals are reminding me of the numbers back in the early 2000's, at least until maurer was able to get a handle and put a whole lot of new bodies onto the area's that needed them. TRU was a good compliment to the then SOS and later MSF. We had those two units, we had police in the districts and the murder rate went down.
Now they wont hire any poleece, we had/have two guys from the outside changing shit that wasnt broke and white shirts in exempt positions who never worked the street for the amount of time it takes to learn how to supervise us who do work the streets making decisions. Politics dont mix with police work and citizen safety. City hall wants to keep those in charge in charge then city hall needs to HIRE MORE POLICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let the honor roll and good kids kill themselves, i have 42 in my office pool.
Freedom of Speech says we can all tell the Racoon to go FUCK HIMSELF! This jagoff is no God to be feared. He is an arrogant conniving little whore who will keep shoving until he is knocked on his political ass! This bastard doesn't even have the sense to pull back and take a break from fucking us every day. This ain't Washington DC asshole.
Last night we had a wonderful time playing a new drinking game we invented, called "blackberrry ping"
It goes like this, any time the blackberry indicates a person shot, you take a shot. Man did we laugh and drink ourselves into a stuper. Not a single person was walking straight after our fun filled night of drinking to all the people shot in the City of Chicago. So, if you are important enough to be in a position that requires a blackberry, like I am, try "blackberry ping" gaurenteed to get you smashed. Good times, Good times!!!!!!!
While murders and shootings were going through the roof, including the senseless slaughter of a 6 year girl in a drive by shooting, Rahm and Supt. McCarthy were walking in the St. Pat's parade and politicking afterward. They have no concern for the citizens and certainly not for the rank and file who have to try to keep a lid on this boiling cauldron of heavily armed booger eaters. The CPD is undermanned and generally without any meaningful leadership. CPD ROEs keep changing and people keep dying. While real strategic and tactical solutions are needed and would work. The powers that be are busy "consolidating" units, setting up exclusive zones and doing other things that serve no tactical purpose but sound good to the lame stream media.
The lack of direction and leadership will likely lead to the injury or death of police officers. The NATO conference will strain the resources of the CPD like never before. The districts will be left without cover so the City can try to keep the protesters downtown from tearing up the city on national television.
Don't get trapped by this politically correct mess. Watch each other's backs, make sure you have sufficient back up, go home safe and sound at the end of watch to enjoy your family.
God Bless the CPD.
Sorry SCC, but totals are up,
5 dead, 12 wounded in shootings across city
A great big thanks to McMoron! Have a cold one Gerry, it will only get worse as it gets hotter, damn heat.
OK. We get it. You can stop beating the horse. He' dead.
FOP MUST take this opportunity to march on City Hall or Rahm's house. The Chicago Police Department is broken and needs to be fixed with new leadership from within it's own ranks. Please send this moron back to New York and name one of our own to start fixing the problem.
Hey Rahm, Toni, Pat and Mike: How are the toughest and most restrictive gun laws in the nation working out?
Here's a hint: Try having true enforcement and consequences and punishment for those who choose to commit crimes using a firearm.
When are these idiots/morons/hacks going to realize that a strong police department is the back bone of a large city? A strong police department with support from bosses, politicians, media, and citizens. Happy police are working police. It's not rocket science. The politicians can hire all of the academics, sociologists, and statisticians they want, it's going to come down to the same thing. Happy police are working police. Working police means pro active police work, quicker response times, and actually caring about the job and people. Now the mentality is just the 1st and 16th. The mayor and sup want to make the police the enemy, and now here we are. Possibley record breaking crime numbers, loss of tourism, conventions pulling out, people leaving the city, out of control entitlement culture, ect...
The mayor wants to make it worse by continuing to attack our pensions. They have to realize they are not going to be able to fix this problem once it's broke. It needs to be salvaged while it can. If the current state of affairs going any further, we are done.
If this violent weekend is any indication of things to come this summer , than we are in big trouble. Just wait til this NATO Summit nonsense when approximately 3,000 coppers will be downtown. Just think about that for a moment. 3,000 coppers is a third of this depleted department. What do you think the predators are going to do when the police presence in the ghetto is nonexistent ?
"And Rahm can go fuck himself, too. We're retired...we can say that."
---
I am almost retired so I can almost say that.
Bring back Safe City!
You mean crime is not down?
Did they close the beaches again because of the heat?
Are the downtown stores happy with the service they're getting from the hacks that have been promoted beyond their ability?
The Superintendent is on record numerous times as saying we have enough police. We don't need mass hirings to bring the numbers up to match retirements. In his arrogance, he implied that he was such a great leader HE would make sure violence goes down and stays down. In a radio interview a few months ago he took credit (about 90% of it according to his words) for the decrease in violence. Lets see if he stands up now and takes the blame, or if he just yells at people at the compstat meeting and then promotes the incompetent again. The New York way sucks!
Those damn "irish" just don't know how to celebrate responsibly.LOL
Hey Rhammy !
better put up some anti killing cameras pronto
goof.
Now that you're retired it's time to get out and about with a video camera. you are the new media so get your police press credentials. yoru're needed. you can fund your efforts with advertisers because you have a large enough following.
The failure lies in the management of the Fifth Floor. Nowhere else.
The Police Department is run out of the Mayor's Office. While any one would accept a little "influence", no Mayor should run the Department. That should change, but it's the Chicago way.
St. Pat's evening in 018: Chicago explodes with violence and potential riots in the entertainment areas while McCarthy sits in Butch McGuire's with buddies boozing it up. Asshole.
Last night 7 shot in 008 one dead and another gonna die. Weekend total for 008 is 12 shot... Yeah, manpower is fine
Maybe if we all looked into the mirror and stepped it up a notch, GO TEAM ! Still drunk from yesterday Event 16543

McCarthy sucks, no doubt about it. But the real problem is the fact that the city has hired virtually nobody in the past 5 years. Even if you want to downsize the department, which is a bad idea, it didn't have to be done all at once. McPuppet sounds off exactly as he is told, "we don't have manpower issues." I doubt he believes it. What superintendent, chief, general, admiral etc. wouldn't want more personnel? The last mayor we had spent money like it grew on trees and this one is squeezing some nickels tighter than others. Our nickel is being squeezed so hard Abe is screaming.
Last night I heard on the scanner that a Polish woman was shot in the head by a Hispanic in the 16th District, on the 5000 block of Mango. I haven't seen any report of this in any paper or blog.
wait a minute , in jan . on a cold cold winter day mccarthy strategy on crime fighting resulted in a 24 hour period without 1 murder
it's mother nature's fault for the increase in murders
Hey SSC I seen a flyer for your retirement party hosted by Rahman and McNutty over at Manhandlers on Clark St. Open bar and all the free lube you can handle.
Good luck pal don't disappear we need a honest and FREE
Voice, God knows these news papers won't tell the truth.
Like the old Chicago band song 25 to 6 to 4! Maybe it was the early result of a compstat kill crime meeting1
Lol, the New Yorker is redrafting the G.O. to cover retired people as well. Don't you know what Rahm wants Rahm gets!
The St. Patrick's Day Massacre of 2012
Five dead and twelve wounded now. Add 'em up and that's 17 shot.
Plus the 16 shot and one dead from Friday. 33 shot, 6 dead?
Don't leave us, Please.
Sorry, OT...(late notice)
On Monday, March 19th at 6:00pm, the family of P.O. Donald Marquez (Star #8620) will have a memorial marking the 10th anniversary of his death at the Gold Star Families Memorial and Park.
Officer Marquez was killed in the line of duty on March 18, 2002 as he was serving court papers at the Logan Square apartments.
As a person who really knows and has taught Six Sigma and some of the other quality methodologies at a university level, let me tell you, your attempt (well - McCarthy's attempt) to put crime into predictive metrics and boxes is a hoot. It's like the snake oil of the 21st century.
The best you can do is record historical information and look backwards. Can you predict the future from past events??? Not really.
How good are the guys on the stock market? Every brochure has a ton of charts on how this mutual fund or stock is going to do. WOW - it's a great buy.
Every brochure also has the disclaimer in real small print, past performance does not guarantee future success.
Policing is no different. You might have a good idea where crime is going to pop up from past experiences (like Englewood) but that does not guarantee that problems won't arise in places thought to be crime-resistant (ie. Northwest side, North Michigan Avenue). NO cops around equals a good opportunity.
Crime happens where people think they can get away with it. Less cops in an area that was before pretty quiet, equals a "new market" for Crime, Inc.
They should forget the big staff meetings and make the staff drive around for an hour and make some stops.
MBWA - management by walking around (or riding around) will give "managers" a better perspective than reading and debating charts and graphs.
Not a cop, but not a moron buying off on BS either.
it s all because the republicans are in town! yes, let s blame the republicans for creating'' an atmosphere of sub-human behavior''.
Now now.... MCDouche is hoping to work on the curve system... He is going to ask the gangbangers to knock it off in July and August and numbers should average out....I'm not worried.....
Hell at this rate....maybe they will run out of each other to kill....
body in a trunk on west side makes 25
Not to mention a rolling gun fight in 016 near Central and Pratt. 40 shots fired-luckly only building and vehicles wounded.
I just want to thank all the coppers who backed us up on 55th & Damen last night. The best feeling in the world is seeing those lights and hearing those sirens when the shit has hit the fan. Thank you and be safe.
Now thats march madness.
Nato? Yeah were ready!Mc Puppet is going to be upset when he finds out the latest training video has been leaked to the press.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeZmwE1oboE&feature=related
You're just not going to see this stuff on the corporate owned main stream media. The real news. Why? Because the corporations have to protect their politically owned puppets that they have installed to run the government.
" WE NEED TEACHERS == WE NEED BOOKS -- WE NEED THE MONEY THAT RAHM TOOK"
(video) Labor Beat: New Trier High School Honors Alumnus Rahm
As Rahm says: don't worry about it..hahah.
RETIRED--Congratulations!!!
mcscotchbreath said that the warm weather has nothing to do with increases in shootings--- wrong answer general compstat---
"And Rahm can go fuck himself, too. We're retired...we can say that."
RETIRED??!!?? Good for you. I'm glad you got out while you still could!!
Congratulations.
Gahhhry, you're making J Fled look like a genius.
McFailure and his traveling Con Stat show should be run out of town on a rail.
Can someone tally up how many people shot and Murdered since the unseasonably warm weather began?
That should be the front page story of every paper.
Unseasonably warm weather in one week in Chicago causes spike in homicides/shootings:
12 MURDERED AND 51 PEOPLE SHOT.
Just an estimate on low side...
Maybe I am crazy, but I believe our chosen one will be gone prior to the begining of Summer.............Any thoughts
I'm a teacher in Shitcago and will tell you that after Rahm destroys the teacher's this summer, he'll come after the cops and firemen next. We need to join together to take back the city from the lunatics
This sounds recent....congratulations and Godspeed. I love this blog and I'm sure others do too, but do for yourself and your family, enjoy your retirement.
Loyal reader
Forty-three days to May Day.
The Detective DIVISION (no, it's not a bureau, no matter what you say, Mr. McCarthy) is in total disarray. Nobody knows who's on first, much less who's assigned to what section, how the cases should be assigned, what the start times are, or how to allocate cars. The physical buildings can't accommodate all the bodies and Constantine Andrews' ridiculous order to eliminate file cabinets (because they offend his design sensibilities) is making it impossible to function administratively.
Forty-three days to May Day. The Department is auditing helmets. Did it suddenly occur to someone downtown that helmets might be helpful in a few weeks? They might put out an order for other critical equipment by, oh, say 20 April. Zero planning, but lots of fun trips out of town for the planners...
Forty-three days to May Day. The businesses in our finest shopping and tourist areas have been armed by the City with nothing more than the empty promise of 'a few thousand' protesters, and 'nothing to worry about'. MANY tourist-related businesses are terrified and planning to close down during this time of 'showcasing Chicago to the world'. Closed shops and boarded up windows. Fine showcase. But that's what happens when you can't - or won't - give them honest information.
mayday. help! s.o.s. help! mayday. Does anybody hear us?
The silence from those blowhards McNutty and Rahm is deafening.
If you're gonna thump your chest and pat yourselves on the back when things are allegedly going good then you've got to man up and accept criticism when things are so obviously not going good.
Dave from 009 is going to need to be medicated!
As a police officer I find these shooting tallies a disgrace to the city. Although we as police officers do our best to prevent them, the blame lies clearly on the shoulders of the superintendent, the alderman, and the mayor for complete ineptitude in their leadership and crime fighting strategies. Yet they and their offices have remained silent on this which must equate to legal malfeasance. Policing is a serious occupation and in order to stop this reign of terror, city and department leaders must implement new strategies and allow us to be more forceful with the street gangs who are now running amok everywhere.sadly i fear that the administration could care less.
Expect heavy gun control rheteric from Rahm and Mc. Nothing about personal responsibility and everything about evil guns killing people.
Chicago #1 again.
Looks like Mayor Bloomberg just revitalized the Occupy movement yesterday.
New donations and support via social media are pouring in today in sympathy.
Don't look for the unbiased story from the corporate media you're not going to get it. Look at the raw video footage and judge for yourself what is going on here. Use your head.
OWS Afternoon Arrests 6 Month Anniversary RAW FOOTAGE
I wonder what would be the reaction of the politicos and the fake bullshit "in Rahm's pocket" media if a six year old "chosen girl" from Sauganash was killed in a hail of gunfire? Just asking???
Are you happy you voted for Rahm now?
Amen; well said Scc.
Is 009 the new 7 or 11? Holy crap, its making Englewood look like Northbrook. Time for operation 9 ball.
Calls for resignation need to start with the mayor. Jus sayn.......
Retired. Congrats SCC.
McGoofy needs to relize he has just pushed alot of veteran officers and Detectives out the door with his recent changes. On top of that all the shuffling of the Exempt ranks make no sense. They are all so afraid of these Comp Stat meetings and there numbers, they are not paying attention to whats going on around them.
McCompstat needs to go. We need an experienced Chicago Police Officer to run the show. You can't run this department like New York. Chicago is a bread all its own. You need a person with a lifetime of Chicago knowledge to run the show. Let the police be the police and forget about these stupid Comp Stat waste of time meetings. Put the Detectives back in the Area's they specialize in. The building are still running and your not saving a dime by merging the Detectives. Congratulations on ruining this department.
What scandal/crisis, does the Fortress of Bullshit have in it's bag of tricks that they can pull out next in order to use it and push the news of these shootings, their failure of leadership, off the media's front pages -- creating the usual smoke and mirrors distractions?
If the cook county jail illness story was it then it doesn't seem to be working very well.
Surely they have one saved up...a crisis that can be used....maybe they'll even martyr one of their own clouted ones throwing them under the bus to save themselves eh?
It's everyman for themselves baby!!
You know what I think??
I think it's time to stop letting these people control the talking points of our society. They work for us we don't work for them.
I think it's time to get off our azz and turn off the TV, turn off the computer, grab all your friends and neighbors and go VOTE!!
If you don't know who to vote for and/or are disgruntled, apathetic. Just go down the list and vote out every single incumbent because what we have is not working.
VOTE!
Hey Police Board : When you are hearing cases of the working police keep in mind what is really going on in Chicago on the streets!
Stop screwing over the working guys and gals.
Or it will get worse when the street coppers ask themselves do I go out and hunt or do I collect a paycheck and do not risk getting suspended or God Forbid fired.
No onen has their back. Not the bosses not the citizens and as of late not the Police Board.
As of 1400 hrs since Friday evening: 7 (seven) DEAD, 30 (thirty) SHOT! Hey New York loser, how's that fu---ng Comstat working now. Get a clue, you don't have what it takes. Go back to Jawzy where you belong. Betcha it's 10 and 40 by 6AM!
Does the ex-mayor and the aldermen still have their bodyguards and drivers?
Isn't it past the time to do the right thing? Share in the sacrifice.
You people have plenty of money, go hire your own security and stop draining the taxpayers. The ex-mayor is an ex-mayor we owe you nothing.
Yeah we know that it's only just a handful of officers nevertheless let's put it in the words that you constantly preach to us about.
"If one more officer enables us to prevent just one more six year old from getting shot in the head than isn't it worth it?"
Give up your egos and give us our officers back and then DO SOMETHING of value for the people for crying out loud!!
The silence from the city council speaks volumes.
Oh and let's not try pulling out the ol' hand gun control bullshit either.
Gun control had ZERO effect under Daley when it was much stricter and all the hoops of licensing, registration and other nonsense. like the speed trap cameras around the schools, is just a money grab from what is seen as the weak middle class taxpayers who are willing to just sit down shut up and take it.
Every crisis is seen as a money making opportunity with this group. How can we monetize this crisis and make money off of it so we can create some contracts for our friends.
Is it possible to find a politician that is not in it for the money and that is willing to work in the interest of the people and our children's future?
Chicago has adopted a new anthem.

This is not a comment on race. It is a comment on the breeding and fostering of total irresponsibility in certain areas of the city. The blame rests first with the offender, then with the parent(s) that raised them, then with the cook county democratic party that refused to allow any constructive criticism of the problem. They misdirect the blame. They will do anything to keep these neighborhoods as solid voting blocks anything except address the problem of lack of personal responsibility in life.
I guess talking to gangs isn't working with the sun comes out.
CPD is a lost cause , last 2 supts outsiders , 90% + of our cpd exempt command staff and XO's were Merit sgt , lt & now want to change promotions from 30% merit to 100 % , many have No Patrol experience , clouted merit promotions are usually from a unit
or district secretarial pool .
Current Commanders still hide the police in office or phony foot posts , they 're fooling the new guy , just as they fooled jfled
xo's biggest joke on the cpd , couldn't find a uniform infraction if they tried , afraid to call any officer for coming late or leaving early , good luck to all police officers with less than 20 years
it's only going to get worse
With all these shooting and murders, Fox news goes into depth about the officer in 018 and his Facebook pictures.
http://www.myfoxchicago.com/dpp/news/metro/chicago-police-officer-photos-facebook-page-pictures-women-bikinis-naked-provocative-20120309?obref=obinsite
Why isn't the union telling the truth about us being undermanned and the reason for the shootings. Furthermore, FOP has been quiet since the warm weather started. I so regret not voting for Bella!!!
XO in 011 overheard talking about disciplining anyone who leaves their fucked up little box/zone without permission. Supposedly some officer got chewed out by a certain sergeant for leaving the zone to come into station to take a dump without express written consent of Jesus Christ himself. Hey sarge, how about you just worry about hiding in the WCs office doing all the work the WC is supposed to be doing. OOPS!! was that supposed to be a secret??? Aren't you supposed to be on the street when there's one SOMETIMES TWO lieutenants in that office? Both of them cant be that incompetent to need you to do their jobs for them, can they???? Maybe individually, but when BOTH are in there????? Oh yeah, right. They both ARE in way over their heads. I got news for any boss in 011 that decides to give us grief for leaving these stupid boxes. Certain media folks have expressed great interest in supervisors gaming the system. It wont be too hard to forward them and the Supe pictures of you strokes doing shit you're not supposed to be doing and in places you're not suppose to be. Keep pushing. The media will love hearing how you guys jeopardize officer safety by not allowing officers to leave their zones to assist on traffic stops a block over. Some of you fuckers need to be put in your place. You're up first Tricky.
War is coming. The enemy is on your doorstep. As mayor, you are charged with the defense of this city. Where are Chicagos police? You still have friends. You are not alone in this fight. Send word to Theoden of Rohan. Light the Beacons Mayor Rahm.
Yes, we should call for his resignation, and most of the upper high command who went along with this nonsense.
As a taxpayer, I think Rham should also resign now, before the city is gone forever.
I just went to the LAPD Police Union and read this article on one of their fallen. The police officer was killed while investigation a traffic accident five years ago. Read what they have done to keep his memory alive over the years. They even had a roll call at the place he was killed.
http://lapd.com/news/headlines/an_enduring_tribute_for_officer_no_37029/
LAPD is a real police department with a real union. Our FOP sucks and so does the leadership of the Chicago Police Department. All these shootings, and not a word from "Mouthy Mike." Only when he needed to get elected did he shoot off his mouth. Now he is "Mousy Mike." SCC how about a vote of no confidence for the Chicago Police Leadership and for the FOP.
How's that comstat working? Think you better have another meeting with the gang leaders and tell them if you're a victim of a shooting or murder tell your fellow gang members and their family to stop calling the police to report these crimes because they are screwing up comstat asshat.
The violence zones in 007 are a disaster. On 1st watch, both wagons are assigned to the same violence zone and if 706 cars are up, most of them stuck there too. The violence zone the wagons are assigned to are in the far northwest corner of the district, so if you need help at 74 and yale, you going to be waiting awhile IF they are allowed to leave (lucky enough, the wagon guys do have the time and knoweledge to start heading without being asked). This is a major safety issue which the city doesn't care about. And keeping on the subject of the wagons, we are our own worse enemies. I don't understand why if you arrest someone and transport them to the station yourself, why do you need a transport for that one female to the area? The wagon can be a great tool to disperse a crowd, but doesn't do any good sitting at 51 and wentworth.
The other failure with the zones is that some beats are only half in the zone. So, if a beat is roughly 6 blocks by 6 blocks, the zone is set up where only 3 and 3 are in the zone. So other cars beats now have to expand to handle the other half of the zone car beats. Half the cars are assigned to 1/3 of the district with the other half handling the other 2/3. How does this make sense? It is a huge safety issue and also a reason for backlogs. 1A calls can sit and wait for half an hour with cars AVAILABLE, but these cars CANNOT leave an area to handle. In order to get police service in the city you have to move to not only a ghetto, but now a designated part of the ghetto? What a joke
This city is a fucking joke. Now that you and your liberal communist socialist retard friends have empowered the criminal and decommissioned the Police Department what did you expect to happen ? You fuckin retards! You are truly reaping the bullshit you have been sowing.
It all depends on the question being asked, if Mcjersy shore is a failure or not. If the goal was to make Jfled look competent then Mcjersey shore is an overwhelming success.
SCC, the morale of this department was ruined long before McCarthy arrived. The decisions that were made shortly after he arrived were made by the mayor, Rham just like Daley was behind all the command changes when he hired Jody. There is absolutely no doubt that Rham was behind the disbanding of MSF and TRU. He needed that to make his campaign promise of 1000 more officers "come true". This isn't a comment to back McCarthy either. I'm simply putting the blame where it really belongs. Rham is the one that won't hire more officers, Rham is the one closing units and districts, and Rham is the one the finger should be pointing at.
Amen!
Congrats on retiring.
This is beyond a joke. I just can't believe the stupid ass people who are completly blind to how the city is out of control. For the jerks who voted for RAHLM, FU x's100.
"And Rahm can go fuck himself, too. We're retired...we can say that."
Of course, the several civilian staff members can say it...twice.

If the leader was out drinking was he forced to piss nd blow today? What if an Officer got hurt or killed in that nonsense and that asshole doesn't come out because he is drunk? What the fuck is wrong with him? Way o lead by example jag off! If anyone gets caught on the breathalyzer bring up the fact the the supt is a lush! Everyone takes pics of Officers when we screw up! Start taking pics when the boss screws up!
"Morale is shot, equipment is broken, training is inadequate, leadership is nonexistent, and the entire ability of the police department to respond to crime and disorder problems is called into question."
What else could you expect with Rahm Emanuel as Mayor! Look what he did to the entire US being the POTUS go to guy....
For all of you that think 016 is the homefront I hate to break it to you but its lost. Crime is getting worse by the day. Open air drug markets on SE side of district and section 8 on every block. Shootings are not uncommon anymore,2 shots at police already. Anyone that says "but in live in Edison park" bite it. Gang leaders and drug stash houses dot your block. Good luck on retirement if true. Wish it was me.
Sorry i couldnt ride on the 3 people shot yesterday morning. i was ordered by the boss that i couldnt leave the box even for a person shot which was only 3 blocks outside the boxes border

My 2008 Murder Cpaital of the USA Coffee Cup has come back into style :). Any offers on this fine coffee cup?
What kills me is that no one from cpd's management staff is qualified to run the police department when our sup is fired. Our leadership is lacking in either management capability or police know how. Our system for promoting the most highly qualified individuals (how should I say it) sucks the big one. The city has allowed the political machine decide who is qualified to supervise and manage the troops. There are numerous solutions to this problem but the political machine would not like or approve of them.

Oh, please, the new superintendent will be Mike Shields, Michelle Obama's cousin. Why do you think he came back to the Department from the Board of Ed?
He did his little penance and now he's ready to move up when McYesYouWereUsed gets bounced after Nato.
Just an FYI. Dept. of Revenue out in force in Mt. Greenwood. Now writing tickets for parking across your own driveway. Many of us park this way to keep other vehicles off our driveways, or turning around in them as safety for our CHILDREN, who enjoy darting down the driveway, and playing there...
3/18/2012 07:33:00 AM
Wait, are you parked on the street, across the driveway, or are you parked on the (lower half) parkway of your own driveway?
Seriously, do you think they're required to check whether the car parked at the curb, blocking a driveway, registers to one of the adjacent houses before they ticket it? And, if the car is registered elsewhere, but parked in the street across some family member's driveway, are they required to be psychic, also?
I don't like them, but maybe we should be just a tad realistic here.
9th district stroke STFU! When shit hits the fan in places like 3, 5, 6, 7, 11, 15 etc u dont see officers whining on the blog about the backlog and the high volume of shots fired calls and agg bats. U must either be a ppo or a house mouse recently sent back to the street. We get it already, 009 has been very busy recently, deal with it, we all have. Stay safe
And, yes, I have a driveway. And, yes, I am the police.

That if u want to have some respect that you have tO come tO Chicago as a rapper because our city is now at the bottom of the shit barrel for street cred.

Dear SCC,
Just an FYI. Dept. of Revenue out in force in Mt. Greenwood. Now writing tickets for parking across your own driveway.
3/18/2012 07:33:00 AM
The rats from DOR take the easy ones and never bother with documenting the vehicles with out-of-state plates that have been here for years because their owners are actual residents of Chicago and the vehicles with Illinois plates that are registered to out-of-city addresses, but their owners are actual residents of the city of Chicago. It's too hard for them to write down a sighting of the same vehicle, day after day, week after week, month after month and then write the ticket for not purchasing. There is a buttload of them across the city.
mayday. help! s.o.s. help! mayday. Does anybody hear us?
3/18/2012 12:04:00 PM
i hear you.
but then, i'm nobody.

I just hope that McGoof doesn't blame the commander in 009 for the shootings or the rate of crime, because it is NOT HIS FAULT but Mc Carthy's with his useless compstat and wanting to convert us to New York, how's that working? yeah, not at all and the gang members are living it up and yeah we are NOT New York. When McGoof understands that New York is in the East Coast that's when he will get an idea of our streets because that strategy is not working here at all. Keeping officers in box that officer have to stay to patrol that's what causes problems because the gang members know this and makes officer uneffective. The officers who used to be able to execute arrests are being constraint to a tinny little area and that only causes NO RESULTS, let them police or we will be CAPITAL MURDER CITY IN RAPID RATE. As it is the ME's can't handle the bodies yet more to pile up. The fault lies directly in the low morale with more jagoff bosses available in patrol. No officer is going to go out there and try to stop crime when you got petty bosses ready to jamm the officers with pimpy spars, not worth it. In that case, keep the crime and let them shoot each other all day long. The biggest issue is that WE HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN MC CARTHY, HE IS AN AWFUL LEADER, TAKING EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF WHAT MAKES IT GREAT TO BE THE POLICE AND MAKING US WEAK AND DESTROYING OUR MORALE. No morale, no results...simple as that. KEEP TAKING OUR FREEDOM OF SPEECH, MEDICAL BENEFITS AND GIVING US USELESS SGTS THAT ARE READY TO JAMM US UP FOR PIMPY SHIT AND THIS IS THE RESULT, NO RESULTS. You can try to terrify us all you want, the shift is only 9-10 hrs a day...that's all. Another reason that NYPD was successful was because their Mayor loved and supported the police. In the recent Mayors of Chicago, yeah we get no support just oppression and now the gang members know this and they are shooting like no tomorrow, why should they not? We as officers are standing alone in this fight against crime. Our superintendent does everything than just destroy our morale, the useless FOP fails to properly represent us and our Mayor loves to keep taking benefits and keeps us miserable, if he could...he would have us work for free and asking for welfare. So Mc Carthy should be asked to step down. So much for Mc Carthy's lie that crime is down, huh? I guess you can't cover the sun with one finger...
After the sidewalk is not your property to park. Glad you received tickets.
Oh I know..
How about every time someone fires a gun in the city we mail out a fine of $100 dollars to every single law abiding licensed and registered gun owner to teach them a lesson.
That'll work right?
I'll betcha the mayor would LOVE IT.
Chicago Trib is now reporting # shot at 41 and 8 dead over the weekend. Including a one year old shot.

With 41 people shot so far this weekend and 8 dead how much money did we save?
How much you figure was spent on E-R cost alone.
Say it isn't so SCC, we need you! :(
But good for you, and congratulations. Enjoy your retirement!
Please, please keep up the blog. I've been reading daily to find out what's really going in Chicago, ever since the Daily Southtown ran a story on you back in 2007.
This is still one of my first morning reads, even though I had to move to Boston a couple years ago (very nice to see CPD and CFD on a firetruck in the Southie St Patrick's parade today, btw!)
I still have too many family ties (and my old condo) to give up on Chicago, and really hope to come back to live there some day. So please keep fighting the good fight!
At least Clark street near Wrigley was tame. No problems at all.
They can't hire police fast enough to save the streets this summer, so hang on, its going to be bloody and violent. And when they do finally realize we need more cops in the street we won't have enough cars and radios for them. It's gonna get A LOT worse before it gets any better. And that not until the snow flies. Not even Tommy Skilling can save Chicago.
The voters get what they deserve, what they voted for, how many of Chicago's finest have to pay the ultimate sacrifice before they learn?
You watch-Jody will be back soon.
alderman cullerton bring police back to our neighborhood,shots fired 5300 block of warner..if u live in 16 dst please start calling his office..
Hurry and go to the tribunes site and click the story of the six year old girl that was killed before it is edited. The reporter has balls. She actually reports that the family of the six year old are gang members and that at her memorial there is a stuffed rabbit with one ear pointed down which is the gang sign of the victims family. Nice to see a reporter that tells the whole story for a change.
Hey SCC I not really sure if one of those shootings even counts towards the total. There was one on Congress & Sacramento with the cassings sitting on the ramp of the X-way. So technically this is State property and it should count towards their totals.ijs
This is he most fucked up I have seen this department. McGruff is doing more damage than I could have imagined!!!!
Time for a "No confidence" vote from the FOP for McDrunky Shit they can do something!!!
sounds like the CPD has been broken for a looooooong time....do you guys sit around awaiting direction or go out and do police work?
I've locked up a few of the wildings, and when momma cones to take them home, they state that its safer for junior to be downtown causing problems then be out on the south or west sides potentially getting shot.
Okay everybody--Let's POLKA!

I do not think it is fixable with the current city political leadership. You can fiddle with the guys at the top of the department all you want, but until the city changes its ways the chance of anything good happening within the CPD is close to nil.

Time for one of you bosses to have the balls for us... Working police/sergeants in the districts to stand up at these USELESS Compstat meetings and ask McCarthy what HE is doing about the crime problem(s)?? What is HIS plan?? But you all are too worried about your sell out spots to stick up for us... The working police...what am I thinking??
The supe was in Butch McGuires on division all night!
Why shouldn't he drink?
He is in a job where no one likes him. He was brought in basically to sail a sinking ship. He has no knowledge of the organization nor anyone to turn to as his predecessor ran all the bosses with any smarts out of town before he got her. He probably doesn't think much of the command staff (NOTE: I did not say "his" command staff. They were shoved down his throat.) Those around him have their agenda, which is not his. He realizes that the streets are out of control, the rank-and-file don't trust him he can't make them be aggressive because they know better than to do that. He has lost not only considerable numbers but a lot of experienced members. He has no where near the resources he needs. Those that he does have he doesn't have as much control over them as he thinks. CAPS? Try dumping them.
He may want to hire, but the mayor controls that. There is not likely to be any significant hiring for quite a while. And even if there was was, it would not cover attrition. And even if good numbers were hired, it takes a good 2-3 years for them to be somewhat productive. And for detective more than that. And then there is the danger of throwing raw rookies out on to mean streets with no guidance. Not only will they get hurt, but they can cost the city millions. The older officers that could mentor them are virtually all gone.
McGoof is under the delusion that he actually has control. He is trying to control the uncontrollable: people that act impulsively because they have no self-control.
The only thing he rally has any control over is the numbers that CompStat puts out. And even that will wear thin as the public finds out that the numbers are FOS.
Being the Superintendent of Chicago Police is the biggest political fall guy spot in government.
I bet if one searches around 35th street there are a number of bottles hidden in those desk drawers.
SCC -Congratulations on your retirement
I retired four months ago, and although it is great, it is still hard getting used to not being the police.
I wish you all the best and thanks again for your blog.

If the Supe was at Butch McGuire's Sat. night, where was he when the brawl literally spilled out into the middle of Division St. doormen from other bars on the street had to jump in to assist those from McGuire's. No coppers anywhere tho be found. A Sgt. and 5 POs sat on their ass all afternoon in front of The Lodge, but when the shit hits the fan you guys are rarely there anymore.
Why shouldn't McPuppet drink on Rush street instead of working? I can think of 260,000 reasons. Even Fat Phil went out on the street on New Years Eve, which is not much crazier than St. Patrick's and he only had 180,000 reasons to do so!
"come and see the show over at public transportaion. the new capt. & new LT were about to throw punches. you gotta love it!"
When did LT Dean Stone transfer to Public Transportation?
O.T. If you don't vote you have NO right to complain.
Is 009 the new 7 or 11? Holy crap, its making Englewood look like Northbrook. Time for operation 9 ball.
3/18/2012 12:46:00 PM
It sure seems like 009 is joining the ranks of 07 and 011 but without all the increased manpower or as McNutty says "resources".
Of course if Commander Dave would kick out some of the 7-8 working in his admin office we'd have a few more "resources " to utilize.
Last night I took the misses out for a nice dinner to a restaurant near water tower. I have never in my life seen such animalistic behavior. I hate to describe it that way, but that is exactly what these youths were acting like. Walking in packs (I estimated one pack at about 75), yelling, running in traffic, fighting in the park. These animals really have no type of social skills that will ever make them worthy of mixing with civilized society. Where are thre parents, how come the reverends, community representatives and the alderman don't have anything to say about this.
If this continues there is no way a tragedy will not occur soon. But I'm sure then the parents, reverends, and other community representatives will be have something to say and sue.
3/18/2012 07:36:00 AM
Interesting that you ask about the parents. Just a citizen here, but I was having a conversation with a officer last week. I am of the opinion that those parents who are trying to discipline their children cant due to the "abuse" laws we see nowadays. I told him that any child that I birthed who decides to act out in school, in public or disrepect any adult, I will go upside their head where they stand. He says, "that's abuse and you will get locked up." That's messed up because I am trying to prevent the creation of another thug/delinquent. I told him "funny how the very police who will lock a parent up, will be the first one asking where the parents were." Some of us do care, some of us are outraged by the way these "minors" are acting, some of us have just given up because we are vilified by the teachers, dcfs, the law, etc..when all we;re trying to do is be responsible parents. So in support of the police, I say "if you ever catch mine out clowning, beat they asses and tell me about it later."
"He is in a job where no one likes him. He was brought in basically to sail a sinking ship.

McGoof is under the delusion that he actually has control. He is trying to control the uncontrollable: people that act impulsively because they have no self-control."
kind of like when the captain of the Titanic (J-Fled) hands the controls over (McConfused), the question is, "shouldn't be concerned about that iceberg?"
answer: No, we'll have plenty of ice for our drinks; strike up the band!
Last night we had a wonderful time playing a new drinking game we invented, called "blackberrry ping".
It goes like this, any time the blackberry indicates a person shot, you take a shot. Man did we laugh and drink ourselves into a stuper.
Not a single person was walking straight after our fun filled night of drinking to all the people shot in the City of Chicago.
So, if you are important enough to be in a position that requires a blackberry, like I am, try "blackberry ping" gaurenteed to get you smashed.
Good times, Good times!!!!!!!

Dear SCC,
Just an FYI. Dept. of Revenue out in force in Mt. Greenwood. Now writing tickets for parking across your own driveway. Many of us park this way to keep other vehicles off our driveways, or turning around in them as safety for our CHILDREN, who enjoy darting down the driveway, and playing there. These tickets are $150.00. Many parties at homes, graduations, proms, etc... are upcoming and residents park across TEIR OWN DRIVEWAYS just to utilize parking space. These cowards from DOR are hammering everyone. Would like to know if this is happening in Edison park, and Ravenswood too? It's certainly not happening in Englewood or other havens of the The two legged DOG! They whack "US" because we pay.
Let's start whacking them. DOR rats frequently drive left of center to hang tickets on vehicles, double park, or park ilegally. They also disobey bicycle regulations, and trespass upon private property to see both vehicle license plates and city stickers. They have no police powers or are acting in an emergency situation. Therefore they are subject to the same vehicle codes, and laws of everyone else. Let's start CITING them for their violations, or locking them up for trespass. Rahm and McSkilling sent them to fuck us, fuck them! You want revenue, do it city wide, stop discriminating against the working class, that is employed by the city and has no choice but to pay. Oh Yeah and FUCK both Jesse Jacksons...Thanks SCC, that feels better!

I got ticketed for parking in a permit zone where the only sign was half a block up and faded to hell. Lost my appeal (surprise!). Every time I see the DoR on their bikes I give them the finger and tell them to get out of my neighborhood. Aside from turning the hose on them, what else can you do?

With the Rahm-Father as Mayor we are likely to get some civilian fuck like Tracy Ladner as Supe.
I have been talking to a number of supervisors in their 40's, Sergeants and Lieutenants. To a man, they all want out and are planning on bolting out of here on birthday no. 50, free insurance or not.
This job is not one that people want any more.

Yeah, tavern owner O'Conner backed "noted Galewood tosspot John C. Mulroe" -- in the brilliant, unforgettable words of one SCC contributor.
Some things you'll never live down...
