Apple Picking Tactics
- A 16-year-old boy is accused of snatching an iPhone as a woman held it in her mouth while searching her purse for a cigarette, police say.
The boy had approached the woman in her early 20s around 7:30 p.m. Monday in the 200 block of North State Street and asked her if she had a cigarette, police said.
She said she did and placed her iPhone in her mouth so she could use both hands to search her purse, police said. The teen then shoved her in the face and grabbed the iPhone, then ran south on State Street and east on Randolph Street, police said.
Responding officers saw the woman and a witness chasing the boy south on Garland Court and were able to catch him and recover the phone, which the woman said was worth $800. The teen was charged as a juvenile with robbery, according to police.
Someone ought to educate the public - someone comes up and asks for a light or a smoke, maybe you ought to think twice about stopping to engage in the transaction.
Nice job by the officers though.

Another reason why cigarettes are bad.
Yep, maybe she should've kept on walking and not have even responded to Mr. Shit Jr.'s fucking request for a smoke. But nooooooo, she wouldn't want to be accused of being 'insensitive.'
When's Al Sharpton gonna throw the press conference? Oooops I forgot. The offender is black and the victim is......drumroll please........yep!! you guessed it.
Love how all the dumbass yuppie Libs are learning the hardway to say get the fuck outa my face..
"Someone ought to educate the public - someone comes up and asks for a light or a smoke, maybe you ought to think twice about stopping to engage in the transaction."
i keep trying, but who really listens to me....
Chalkie
Got a light? No? Bang
That's how it works down in Peoria.
What the public Does not understand is that kid got a ride to the police station was fed a dinner he would not of got at home and then was released with no consequences. What a country
If some tourist wants to go those lengths to give some street urchin a smoke,Lesson learned.
Cell phone jammers carried by an average citizen/protesters that are used carry a felony, but cellphone jammers used by the police are totally legal and have been used in the past to disrupt command and control between protesters.
On the other hand, most of the professional protesters have their own countermeasures, for instance, with a $250 device called the Delorme InReach which is a satellite phone product with Bluetooth, coupled with an Android phone, will allow you to send out Twitter updates.
Now the service isn't cheap, but I wouldn't put it past some of these protesters that are hellbent on mayhem on using something like this to keep their lines of communication open.
OT: I have a bit of a radical idea here, so hear me out.
Since there is no more opening anywhere pretty much in the city, what about the idea of two P.O.'s being able to swap districts?
I work in a slow north side district and it's pretty far from home. I would love to try out a different district, like 008, or 009. I'm sure there are guys in those districts that would kill to be where i'm at. Why couldn't we voluntarily swap districts? There's a guy i work with that would love to get into 010. Again, no openings. Why couldn't he switch with a guy from 010 that wants to work up north?
Is this a decent idea? Or am i a stooge? Would the FOP ever consider this? At least it would be a way for some of us to move around again if you're unhappy where you're at.
Attention 016th District residents coppers kid got beaten and robbed at Irving and Central. Three former Cabrini residents, who live in the neighborhood, are in custody.
Dumbasses, but deserved outcome. The predators can spot an 'idealist' from 100 yards off.
Approach them, ask them for something, they will immediately stop what they're doing and present themselves as 'friendly' as possible (lest they be tagged 'racist'), assuming the position for a mugging.
It's been this way forever.
Go to someplace like Hegewisch or East Side and ask the steel mill guy for a light, he'll laugh and smash the little turds face in. DO it in Lakeview? They'll actually stand there and do it.
I hope the predators and thugs die, but I have little sympathy for people whose deluded idealism makes them a victim.
Then a lazy dick from central will come and say, "Sorry, kid, all ya got is theft of lost or mislaid property.". There's nothing stopping these rats from Apple picking! Speaking of apples, I'm gonna get a big slice of Apple pie with some milk.
Off topic. Does anyone know if St Jude was confirmed or moved?
Hate to say but can anyone one trust a young male black anymore? I've done a number of these arrest. It always seems M/1/15-19 with a huge history gets a M/1/16-19 with not record commit a robbery. It seems young male blacks are the ones grabbing iPhones. No race bating here. But can someone out there teach these guys that robbery and such crimes don't make you cool. Maybe they do it to get a young ladies attention. I don't know. Older M/1's need to school these kids on how to get some. I mean, is it cool to show up with 4 to 5 iPhones?! Just trying to be funny. F U if you can't take a joke.
To solve all the iPhone thefts, officials are planning to give an iPhone to everyone on welfare, dependents included. The good thing about that plan would be every one of those idiots would be able to be tracked.
Got a solid quarter?
---not a cop
You gotta tell em "I don't smoke" even if yer puff'n on a cig.
I am retired CPD who spent over 10 years as a robbery detective. Almost always, the sometimes smiling "friendly" street offender will attempt to get his victim's guard down so he can close in on the vic. (a cigarette, a light, directions, etc.). I always tell them in the future, to reply in the negative and say "God bless you" and get out of there.
Also, do not underestimate the debilitating effect of "white guilt" by naive victims.
Let me guess, the woman; F/2/clueless. The boy; M/usual/predator
Hornady Critical Defense round can cure apple picking.
He will go to juvie court where the judge will make it seem like it was all the victims fault
Dumb yuppies will never learn
800 dollar iphone....
who woulda thunk it?
Beware of both lone and roving bands of Amish youth.
Did the robber resemble sweet young Trayvon?
Im sure this is the youths first run in with the law. So now when he goes to court and writes his essay on why stealing is bad he will be reformed. He would have already found the cure for cancer buy now if he wasn't needlessly harassed by the police.
She was later arrested and posted $200 cash bond court 34-4 for providing a minor a tobacco product... Jessie and Al lessthansharpton to hold a press conference about this chiiiiildz Opression
Sounds like Trayvon's ghost is still around. Was this little asshole wearing a Hoodie? People are so fucking stupid. When someone you don't know approaches you keep walking. When walking around this town keep your eyes and ears open. Don't trust anyone you don't know. Not nice but it will keep you fairly safe.
What do you think would happen if this little dick wad asked Rev. Jesse or Al Sharpton for a smoke? OK. They wouldn't piss on this shithead if he was on fire.
Same thing when these savages ask for the time. Our favorite reply was..."It's time to buy a watch".
Please tell me the victim will be charged for attempting to provide a cigarette to a minor and that she will be punished harder than the suspected thief.
St. Judes Parade should be canceled this year. Not because we dont care but because of major potential problems and safety.
Ot
Why was the "large scale NATO exercises" for 25 and 26 April abruptly cancelled the night before at 2100 hrs?
St Jude..same place same bat channel..May 06 step off 0800.
At $10 a pack she should of told the little tard to beat it. She should also be charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Teach her to be so gullible
If these dumbass liberal savage huggers want to be victims their whole existence, let them. All this PC crap has gotten us where. Savages victimizing people all over the city and suburbs due to section 8. Exactly how long can a parasite on society get welfare? Should there not be time limits? As part of my job I get drug tested, if I fail I lose my job. Now if you are receiving money from the government why should you not be held to the same standard. Also if I commit a felony, I lose my job. The same should apply to those receiving welfare, felony, you lose your check/link card. Can anyone tell me how long someone can get welfare benefits? Because I have seen generations of parasites on welfare, with not a single one ever having a job. And how do you draw SSI if you have never contributed to SS? Is there a country that doesn't suck up to parasites? Because if there is I am moving there.
I think it would be smart and prudent to not use your I phone in public and not carry it on a belt clip. Way too much of this going on.
I am not aware that using a cell phone jammer is a felony. I do know that you cannot purchase one in the US and it is against FCC regulations, but a crime, a felony? I am not sure.
Maybe they should think twice about coming downtown or to north Michigan Ave. anymore.
...When's Al Sharpton gonna throw the press conference? Oooops I forgot. The offender is black and the victim is......drumroll please........yep!! you guessed it.
What, A brand new conservative?
Liberals, cause more trouble than they are worth. He should have just said "hello mam, my name is -----, and I'm black and poor and I need an I phone so that I can escape poverty. After all its your fault that I'm poor because you and all white people are racist." after hearing this plea she would have, I'm sure, just given him the phone out of a sense of white guilt.
If beasts are being put back on the streets, many of us are not privy to this information. Please list the judges names. This can be compiled and used in the next elections.
"Three former Cabrini residents, who live in the neighborhood, are in custody"
I was wondering where all the good citizens of Cabrini-Green went. Shouldn't they have been sent to Wilmette, Hinsdale, etc., where the vibrancy would have been more greatly appreciated?

You might want to give the union a call, I believe there is such a one for one swap program in place. I'm not sure but I heard from my old partner that such a swap is possible. He is currently trying to do the same thing.
What an idiot. I'm sure there were dozens of people on the street--but so many of these yupsters refuse to believe the worst is happening. Half don't watch or read the news or just delude themselves into thinking that the police are the bad guys...and everyone of color is a victim of racism. Let the little thug stop some GUY for a light. Do these idiot liberals have absolutely no sense of fear, no instincts??? Good grief.

I think it's a GREAT idea. Can't firemen even swap shifts?
Ot --- does anybody from 016 on 1 st watch have any info on the offenders breaking into cars on the 5900 blk of ozark? I live in the area just wanted some info on what happened to the job last night at work.
" Attention 016th District residents coppers kid got beaten

residents, who live in the neighborhood, are in custody."
PP is fucked. I used to regret moving from Norwood up to far Northern Lake County over 6 years ago. Not anymore. What a shame how fast the NW side has gone to shit.
I had the fortune of being an "Idealist" when I was away at school. Idealism is most certainly a luxury.

I heard you can do this, other officers have done it. but it's up to your commanding officer.
Just keep on walking away, don't acknowledge request, but stay alert and prepared to defend your self.
Red flag alerts ;
' yo, got change for a ' dolla ?
' yo, what time is it ?
' yo, how do I get to 115th & Aberdeen?
All questions by street thugs / predators are just to distract you & set you up to be victimized.
Remember, the Police, God bless them, cannot protect you, the onus is on you.
Your switching officers voluntary would not work because some crybaby with more time would complain, if they wanted to make the same move
When I see people giving money to the beggars downtown I always yell at them and say "Don't you know you aren't supposed to feed the birds!"
I'm moving and section 8 my house.

They were letting this happen a couple of years ago but with
This guy in the house I don't know the gameplan. I do know I made a terrible mistake going to msf and I'm stuck in a shithole now.
when i was working down down by iowa & pulaski and in those nieghboods there i would not make eye contact are speak to anyone if possible
the answer to every request for a light change whatever was no, no no
and keep moveing
i would make sure not to have any thing of value or desire out in the view
cigerettes phone $
i really did my best to "hide in plain view"
one of the guys i worked with was robbed at gunpoint at cortland & pulaski at gunpoint during the day
because he flashed & money at the bus stop waiting for the bus
Why engage in any contact with a stranger, even a moocher? Why carry a phone in your hand when you have pockets? Why visit Chicago when it's cheaper in Detroit?

— it's called a PAR Form. Request a transfer. Maybe a little schmooze to Chief of Patrol can get you & another switched. As a Contract issue, your suggestion should go to FOP. I'd rather see fair promotions myself, bid openings are now just as scarce.
Got a light? Do you know what time it is? If you're not armed, that's your signal to get the fuck away fast (for the non police readers).
liberal , soon to be conservative
Don't worry good liberals of downtown, a couple more "robbery reduction" event numbers will curtail this issue posthaste! Also, please continue to encourage us to be tough on these kids, all while simultaneously cursing us out and accusing us of profiling when we actually have these people stopped and on the hood of our car. You can have it both ways..... Not!
Animals will do what they do. Let's not make it easier for them. Will this young lady attend court and walk through the criminal justice system? Or will she go hug a tree and drink her $6 coffee? I say macdonalds need to make mcrib a permanent item on their menu.
Off Subject, but does anyone know someone who sells the mini gold police stars for neck chains. Looking to get my wife a star with my number on it.I work on the southside, thanks.
To the person who questions if he is a Scrooge, absolutely not that is a great idea. Considering there are not any openings, and people want an opportunity to go somewhere else. I'm sure there are many officers who would be interested in swapping districts. if there is a fair way to do it, this would be great.
How are you, beautiful day isn't it.....now give me your iPhone,have a nice day!
Educate?
Sheeeeeeeeeeeiiiiit!

Off note a little bit but rumor has it that the Feds are going to construct 3 gigantic holding cages for prisoners. These prisoners will be shipped for processing to the 3rd,5th,7th and 11th districts.
The cages will be at 31st and LSD, some park on upper Randolph and Columbus and Wells and Harrison in a vacant lot.

Straight out of the "indigenous" playbook!
please go to midway jewelry she is police family ask for Diane 63rd central. She has been there over 25years. Thks
If there are multiples just avoid and evade. If there is just one and you got some nuts. Just tell him straight out. Get the fuck outta my face or die motherfucker. And MEAN IT. The confused look on their faces is worth it. They are NOT used to whites telling them off. But be prepared to back your shit up if you happen to be called out.

Um, dick head, bid openings are practically non existent, hence the idea of district swap. What good is a PAR form going to do if there's no openings? And like any of us "normal" guys can just walk into a deputy chiefs office and ask to be assigned to a new district. He would first ask who the f*ck we are, then laugh us out of his office.
I gotta a light for you......
The woman was going to give a minor a smoke? She got what she deserved....
Reminds me of a call not to long ago from a lady who said a homeless guy asked her for a hug and she actually hugged him. A short time later she realized that her wallet was missing.
I had to go through Chicago on a train and had to wait for five hours in Union Station. There were bums asking for money all over. I ignored them and walked away; I didn't want to have to get into a physical situation where the bum was down and bleeding and asking for the police to arrest me, but I would have knocked them down and made them bleed if necessary.
The vendors in the station agreed with me. They said that if you reach for a wallet, you will be missing a wallet. I just told the bums to get lost or get hurt. They left. Was that an actionable threat? I don't care.
My favorite response to the old "got any spare change???" question was always to say, "nah, I've got some, but thanks anyways". Great looks from the one's who got it and even better looks of puzzlement by the one's didn't get it. No, no, no, man, I,I,I meant, I meant for me!!!

I think it's a GREAT idea. Can't firemen even swap shifts?
I believe this is in fact true. A fireman works a 24 hr shift. He is then given 48 hours to recover from this horrendous schedule. Unless, of course, the fireman elects to "trade" with another fireman. Then the fireman can work up to three shifts or 72 hours in a row. Wow, they really are a special group of people that can work 72 hours in a row. I wonder when they sleep???
