Red Zone Details
- The streets around the city's downtown federal buildings will see a noticeable increase in security — including officers in battle dress — as early as next week as the city prepares for the May 20-21 NATO summit.
The Federal Protective Service, which secures federal buildings, this week informed tenants of the city's federal buildings that they would have personnel patrolling the streets as early as next week.
The officers were expected to be in battle dress and carrying non-lethal weapons, according to several sources who were not authorized to speak publicly.
Rumors also abound about an immigration march the first week of May, the regular communist rabble around May Day, and spontaneous wildcat parades on tap all month.
The Chicago Police Department also released a statement:
- "The security perimeter and overall event plan are under the auspices of the United States Secret Service, with support from a variety of federal, state and local partners, including the Chicago Police Department," the statement said. "Federal Protective Services does not have a direct security role during the NATO summit. Federal Protective Services is in charge of securing their buildings, some of which are on or nearby the anticipated routes of permitted events such as parades and protests that will take place during the summit."
We imagine that part of the action will be on game day.

"There is no parking in the Red Zone"!
Whoever was asking about the Qualification type B at the academy, couple posts ago, I called today and was informed that its all canceled till after NATO disaster is over with.
The Mexican Says:
I wonder if the G is going to bring their own hookers this time...kinda like brown baggin' it?
The federal reserve bank is private so they won't have any of this federal security, right ?
We had a big boss from HQ talk at roll call yesterday to let us now that contrary to what we read here on the blog they really are prepared for this NATO fiasco.
It seems the poor guy has been drinking too much of the kool aid at HQ because he was spewing all sorts of bullshit and mistruths. He said we're CPD we handle large crowds all the time taste of Chicago etc.... These fuckers just don't get it. Comparing a crowd at taste of Chicago to the crowds that will be protesting NATO is like comparing boy scouts to Hanibal Lecter.
I left roll call after being inundated with the HQ bullshit and I found myself humming "Don't Worry Be Happy"!!
The boss from HQ said they've determined that a soft look is a psychological advantage over the protestors. Really??
When asked about the ridiculousness of wearing the crown cap as opposed to the baseball cap he said he agreed the baseball cap would be a much better idea than the crown cap but McNutty had chosen the crown cap and there's no changing his mind. Sounds like McNutty operates much like Rahm it's his way or the highway and he's got no time for anyone else's logical ideas.
Battle dress and non-lethal weapons?
I will also let the protestors tear up the town too! I ain't gonna do shit!
This city is already prepared to lose Police Officers via Collateral Damage!
So fuck u Rahm and Mc Stupid Supt.
the city is also allowing protesters to film the police in violation of the law--- youtube will be loaded with police versus protester dust ups--- time to go get a ski mask....
Perfect storm...Nato absolutely wastes this shithole called Chicago. THEN Zimmerman gets aquitted just when the bulls win the Championship. Boo boo the fool comes out to play bigtime....Daley's nephew gets indicted for manslaughter. Daley's dementia worsens ten fold as he is led to testify in his deposition. Rahm's tiny black heart will explode and his misses is again trotted out of the paddock to serve out the rest of his term as the new chosen one. Yup chicago is a world class shitty.
Many of the secret service agents have been seen patrolling the North Ave. bridge and north Broadway!
Me thinks we need a blue zone.
Da Bears cant score in the red zone.
In protest to the crown caps, I say we go withe the shower caps and everybody bring their luffas just in case we take a bath.
Using the crown cap provides an opportunity for demonstrators to obtain "trophy" hats! In addition officers will be taking suspensions and having to change their star numbers because the hat shield will have their star number on it. If they take the baseball cap as a trophy it costs a lot less. But what do I know, I just had 32 yrs. on the Job!
Are the "powers" that think they are in Chicago still paranoid about 1968 when it comes to dress for the NATO summit? Geez.

...The Chicago Police Department also released a statement:"The security perimeter and overall event plan are under the auspices of the United States Secret Service, with support from a variety of federal, state and local partners, including the Chicago Police Department," the statement said.
And when this disaster is over it will be this press release 9.5 will use to appear blameless to the citizens of this city. He will absolve himself from ANY liability for injury, damage or death and try to sell the idea that the city and the police department acted ONLY as support service to the secret service. I hope the federal authorities step up and issue a preemptive press release of their own placing the blame squarely on Rahm. Think I'm wrong?
Were whatever hat you want. Do you think they'll send ya home if you show up with the wrong one?
The Federal Reserve has their own law enforcement division staffed by Federal Reserve Police Officers.
Throw in the Bulls in the playoffs, maybe a championship riot. Cubs and Sox in the crosstown. What could go wrong?
I feel like we're going to war outnumbered,armed with tampons and lead by Mimes.
Best part about wearing the crown cap to a riot: taking a day suspension for losing your shield OR getting you or someone else seriously injured when you try to retrieve that precious shield when it goes flying off your head for any number of reasons.
So if there is an altercation with the protestors and they take my crown cap do I still take a day?
I got a "stiffy"!
Chalkie........
Perfect storm is coming.......
OFF TOPIC:
"McALLEN, Texas (AP) — An unprecedented surge of children caught trudging through South Texas scrublands or crossing at border ports of entry into the U.S. without their families has sent government and nonprofit agencies scrambling to expand their shelter, legal representation and reunification services. On any given day this year, the U.S. Office of Refugee Resettlement has been caring for more than 2,100 unaccompanied child immigrants."
"The security perimeter and overall event plan are under the auspices of the United States Secret Service....." Pimp Daddies, lock up your hookers!
"Federal Protective Services does not have a direct security role..."
What the f__k wth all this corporate doubletalk.
"...in battle dress and carrying non-lethal weapons..."
What the f__k...
This must be Cognitive Dissonance Day.
The more the merrier, let it burn. Thank you for inviting the NATO summit RAHM.
What if we held the NATO circus and nobody showed up?
imho i think the hats are least of anyone's worry
as for the non-lethal weapons
what would you carry if the it breaks loose? featherdusters?( i do not believe it) there is lot of $$ stuff in those buildings and mace isnt going to cut it
but McBlow and Rhambo tell you don't worry:)
So! that proves i!
McBlow and rhambo read the blog themselves
1. they must be really worried about what is said here
@. they problatey try diinformation to stop it
i just wonder if they took and oath
(like shortshanks and j-fled to get scc before they left office:))
i just love it
really burns thier ass they can't control the spin on things because of this blog
Are the powers that be think the hookers are safer in Chicago and can go without protection,you are in for a cheese awaking,geez....cheese,what's this oozing out,damn I should a wore a helmet! 1968 or 2012 I want my helmet on my head! Just careful not stupid!
Who's going to be patroling my neighborhood while all the police are going to be downtown for weeks in May?
I am fully prepared for a few hundred or so coppers to copy & paste this post and or follow it up with a big “no shit”. But just in case, I wanted to put this out there. PLEASE; let’s watch what we place within this blog regarding any “CPD plans” for dealing with NATO. As coppers are briefed within the next few weeks, on “blending in with crowds” or anything else along those lines, let’s keep it off here. I don’t even want to type some things that should stay off here. We all know there are useless, sackless, bottom feeding protesters reading this blog and learning from it. PLEASE use discretion. Even if CPD did somehow get an ounce of its shit together before this starts, let’s keep it off here. If they think they will have it easy, keep it that way. We all say “know your enemy”. Don’t let them get to know the CPD until the CPD is in there face or preferably has them in cuffs. That is all. You may commence typing “no shit”.

Throw the crown cap away and wear the helmet. It will be so fucked up no one will give a shit. Then after, "find" the crown cap again.
The non-lethal weapons can be used on the gangbanging shitheads at Chicago and State for practice.
Before posting this info you may want to try and verify this info for yourself. I learned today from a very credible source that a major concern for the federal agencies involved with the NATO security are suicide bombers. Apparently there are no security check points at this event. I am not trying to be an alarmist nor am I trying to stir fear for the people of Chicago. I just believe that the police who are going to be working this fiasco deserve to be kept up to speed with the concerns of the Feds.
I'm giving the Feds a thumbs up. They're at least showing some balls and letting the public know they aren't going to let Joe Citizen (protester) destroy their property.
Please let the Lt. in Mass Transit know that the room he sits in is a coffee room. He's hanging out with the fridge all day like it's a buffet. The snack fund has grown three fold since he got there. One more thing bothering me. Stop licking your fingers after you devastate the supply of Snickers bars.
who was the brilliant one that gave the nod for the nato meeting to be here? who will pickup the bill for the security? how about any damages done to private or city property? please publish the names of anylaw breakers and where they come from. also let the mayor know how you feel about allowing malcontents to disrupt the city.
Non-lethal weapons? Like a photo of J-Fled playing the banjo in "Deliverance"?
It's THE PEOPLE vs RAHM and Co. with the CPD stuck in the middle. Fuck you RAHM I'm not on your side, Obama couldn't even stand you.
Golly gee whiz Batman do you think they are not telling the people something. "OBVIOUSLY"!
UK puts missiles on London rooftop to guard Olympics

Just go about your daily business thought otherwise the terrorist have won..hahahah are you kidding me?
Although they may need those missiles for use to intimidate their own people as the austerity programs kick in -- so say the tin-foil hat conspiracy folks. Time will tell.

Ahh I would imagine that they are on their way to the sanctuary city to replace the nine that were busted for the free air Heroin trafficking the other day. Keep waving them across...it's a crisis that Rahm can use.

Excellent point!
I would wear a helmet but I was told the city is out of them. I was then asked if I was on the list. I had to sign my name, district and phone number and HQ will call me when the helmet comes in to pick it up. O.K.

So says Frantic Andy Thayer.
"Disingenuous" isn't the word.
Shut up, Andy.
So busy being clever on the police web log that he's going to forget and miss NATO.
and lead by Mimes.
You owe me a new computer screen, because mine is now saturated with the coffee I just spit all over it while I was laughing.

Well it IS "for the children"s so it must be right, must it not?
So if there is an altercation with the protestors and they take my crown cap do I still take a day?
-----------------------------------
Yes. And if you try to retrieve it, all the video will show is you chasing some protester for no reason, said protester tripping and falling and being trampled by the crowd. So now you end up with 30 days pending and a multi-million dollar federal lawsuit.

They know our plans, we know there plans. Did you watch braveheart? Well it's kind of like that only with bottles of shit instead of arrows, and batons instead of swords. If what you say is true, and let's "pretend" that some officers will be among the protesters. Those officers just signed up for purification through pain. Don't forget to throw down all cameras you come close to. How many can there be? Well that's just a joke, or is it? We will never reveal our plans until we suprise them during the protest which has been set on a "certain date" at a "certain time" for "some cause".
No po ever took a day for losing his hat while fighting with an offender and no po will ever take a day for losing his hat while fighting or chasing a protester. Whats wrong with you, start worrying about things that are going to happen, not this BS. Its going to be a long NATO if you worry about this kind of crap
