McCarthy Watch Begins
A comment popped up that G-Mac is going to be on Good Morning Chicago (Fox 32) today, attempting to explain, or spin, the body count, the maiming totals and the rapidly increasing destruction of the Chicago tourism industry.
If true, we hereby declare "McCarthy Watch" has begun. Those NATO coattails are looking awfully short after this weekend.
Tommy Skilling's Seven Day Forecast is showing a carbon copy of this weekend on tap. 84 Friday, 90 Saturday, 92 Sunday.

Again I say: a sacrificial lamb, anyone who takes the job as supe. The communities don't give a rat's ass about the killings. They have no family structure that teaches right and wrong. For all the churches in these communities, you'd think that homicide numbers would be the lowest they could possibly be, but they of course aren't. White man oppression, my ass. These people just don't care. They kill each other, and when they're tired of that, they "wild" in the parts of the city they haven't yet destroyed. I'm out of here in less than 3.
the "McCarthy watch".....
Rahm: what are we doing about all of the shootings?
Mac: uh, well....if we had more cops..
R: and what about about the wildings downtown and on the Mag Mile? Bad for business and tourists, very bad publicity, no?
Mac: well....if we had....
R: forgot about more cops, the economy is horseshit, my guy O is in trouble....and you, my (former) friend....you should have known, it's all about me!
Mac: well, I guess I'll be leaving..
R: No shit...and take this newspaper with you....there's a fish inside of it (a special present)!
Big command changes are coming within the next week - 10 days.
The shooting no big deal. This good has lost downtown and gold coast. Do not bring your family downtown. Large packs of black criminals ( unidentifide youth) were attacking everyone the last few nights. Not enough police to respond. Police were completely outmanned. It was an embarrement when you cannot even protect decent people walking down the street.
For years, the first lesson in 018th District Commander 101 was "preserve/protect" Michigan Ave. (and a couple of blocks east and west of it) at all costs.That lesson served many politically favored Commanders and Supts. well, and enhanced their already charmed careers. The Greater North Michigan Ave Business Assn almost sleeps in the same bed as 9.5. While a great guy, Angarone apparently did'nt get the memo, and McNumbnuts and he will be the fall guys.
Nice writing and editing skills TRIBUNE!!!
Not only once, but twice---
First, "Two men WAS killed,",
AND now,
"Three men WAS killed and 10 others wounded, at least two critically, in five separate shootings on the South Side, police said this morning."
Nice. Another CPS grad DUN good.
Another reason not to buy that rag.
McCarthy just said on the news that "we're actually doing better than last year, and that crime reduction is a process".
Said shootings are down 8% for the second quarter.
I smell bullshit.
Keeps saying we're doing better last year.
And boy, does he look like a beaten dog.
Big Mack, we know it's not up to you, but if you want to survive and you want your boss to be president, then get the police force back up to it's original staffing.
You have to watch the Good Day Chicago interview. GMAC actually said that shootings are down in Chicago!
"...Americans...simply do not talk enough with each other about things racial..." "We (are) a nation of cowards." - ERIC HOLDER, the Attorney General of the United States
I agree, Mr. Attorney General. Perhaps you and the mainstream media can enlighten us "cowards" about race and crime.

No worries.
Pfather Pfony has bus loads of St. Sabina hangers-on ready to take to the streets in support of McGovernmentSponsoredRacism if things look like they're heading south for our fearless 'leader'.
And if that fails, the contingency of Hair Gelled ballwarmers will no doubt rise to the occasion in defense of their NATO hero.
More fancy words that mean nothing more than total bullshit smoke and mirrors. I heard Mcturdface is looking to ban the wearing of shorts and looking to eliminate time due on the weekends. PRICK!
McCarthy looked beat down on FOX this morning. Talking about an 8% shooting reduction in the second quarter from last year?!?!? WHAA??? The second quarter does not end till the end of June. He playing Funny Math.
Open the city coffers and create operation safe city II and reopen cta special. U get what u pay for!
This idiot says the numbers are down. Huh, what?
I'm guessing he is going to mention the start of a new class as part of his strategy. I'm a candidate and have my entry POWER on Tuesday. Wish me luck and you guys be safe!!!
A new crime fighting strategy about to start. Close down the Redline.... They didn't do that for other repairs but now it is required to work on the direct line to the rich up north from the south! Too bad that it won't start for a year....
They want Pension Reform ,( taking money from us ) but risk your life so they can shit on us some more. Direct the HONOR STUDENTS to the MAYORS AND MADIGANS NEIGHBORHOODS .Let them eat cake.....
About three months ago, I posted he would leave for 'family reasons' soon after Nato. Kind of like Bob Hoff had to.
OT
Rahm has scheduled a meeting with Jody Weis today.
Oorder supposedly coming out this week that you can work your RDO's on the weeekends for time and a half. Somewhat like safe city.
And speaking of heat, the supervisors are going to feel the burn. Also, unfortunately, the stuff rolls downhill. We, the lowly police officers, are going to get stuck with the pressure. But this is not a good time to be an exempt.
"This didn't happen over night." said G-Mac concerning the violence sweeping over our city. Well, G-mac, yes it did. There were 8 people shot, 2 dead in one incident in 009, and it involved an AK! Fucks sake, where the hell are we Helmund Province, the Sunni Triangle? Sure, we had our problems before you got here, no doubt, but we kinda had it under control. Now, it is just up for grabs. The policies you have put in place have put lives at risk, and put police officers in danger. Your whole NYC CAPS, get the community involved strategy was tried here for years (over 10 years to be exact) and it failed miserably. What stops crime? Hard working, proactive police officers, that is what prevents crime, period. All this mumbo-jumbo about the community should be outraged and it's not okay, they don't care. As long as the crime doesn't directly affect them they are apathetic to the situation and could care less. You want crime to go down, you need to free up the workers and let them go do what they know how to do. Then, and only then, will you see a dramatic reduction in crime.
Not making excuses for McCarthy's out of touch planning and Rahm's manpower plans, but will someone please follow up on what happens, or more likely doesn't happen, to the teens who have been arrested for the wildings. Juvenile court is a joke and no one knows it better than the thugs/gangs that are regulars there!
Just saw the interview with McSpinner on WGN. Larry Potash asked a few questions, but unfortunately he and Robin never touched on the subject of manpower issues- and I was really expecting that they would grill McGoof about that. Robin asked "you saw all these policemen during NATO, why can't they do something like that?". At least McDrunk had the sense to tell her that we were on 12hr shifts with no days off and cannot do that on a regular basis. These reporters had a great opportunity to ask some tough questions, but they completely failed. Finally they talked about RICO statutes and a new law that Quinn is going to pass that allows gang leaders held responsible for actions of their gang. Nice try, but what are they going to do when the gang bangers are calling the shots from prison already?? Even if they do hook up a couple of gang "leaders", Alvarez and ASA will not prosecute unless they get flat out confession from these guys that they ordered someone to kill. And if they do get one, the thug will probably only get probation anyway. Judges here are so soft on these criminals- and the thugs all know it. Go to court, get probation/supervison, then go right back out and do it again. Judges even know these fools by their first names because they see them all the time - how fkd up is that!?!? But that's ok, they are turning their life around, so it's ok if they victimize everyone else in the meantime. This whole system is broken, and downsizing the police department just put the last nail in the coffin.
P.S. Forgot to mention that part of McNumbnutts strategy for crime reduction is jeopardizing all the men and women on this department- Because of the lack of manpower, many officers have been assigned to guard prisoners in the hospital - alone. It's been happening more often and so far it is just pure luck that no one has been hurt. FOP where are you?????
Suntimes is reporting 51 Shot and 8 Dead!
http://www.suntimes.com/mobile/13101374-463/eight-dead-43-wounded-in-weekend-shootings.html
Bye Bye Garry!
As Im reading this sitting here wathing HLN morning express what comes on??? Chicago police respond to over 35shootings n 6dead " one of them a 16yr old booooy just sitting on HIS front porch. the tone in the reporter voice was OMG how shocking.
now that the nato monster has come and gone will the department open up some bid spots--- we could really use some more help in 016 and 017 and I'm sure plenty of guys would bid in--- zone 1 has really become the thin blue line....
Mr super you just lost any respect you were able to gain during nato.you stated on channel 2 news that you are going to check to see where the officers were at during the time the citizen got attacked on 800 e dewitt downtown.they might have been closing the beach down ,stopping another mugging,stopping a theft offender,getting another fucking event or in the box of a fake zone.we cant be everywhere sir! Mayor daley closed the housing projects and the animals have started to spread out.its like closing the zoo and telling the go! And destroy and eat everyone.

New strategy? Believe it or not HIRE MORE POLICE!!!
Mc312 was quoted on NPR this morning as having told the broadcaster that the increase in violence here is actually proof of the success of his program to break up the gangs. The gangs are splintering, and when they do this, per him, they attack one another.
Remember ladies, crime is down. Don't read too much into the numbers. You just let the computer do all the work and everything will be OK.
Let's just keep going with the strategy of doing anything else other than hiring new cops.
Signed,
The Super-
Just watched him on WGN...... What a putz. Talks in circles and never answers questions. Talks about how his new strategies take time and how illegal guns cause all these problems.....pathetic.
Watched the Supt. on Fox News this morning and he seemed cluless as what to do about the animals roaming the Gold Coast. Find it interesting that the carnage has been going on for months in the shit Ghetto districts without much media attention. As soon as the young demented mutant animals start preying on the "wealthy area" of the city the media goes crazy. Money talks and.....
He was on all of the local morning news programs with the sleep face looking like he has not been getting much rest.
He sounded very lame when spouting the statistics for shootings being lower this year versus the same time last year in response to a question about the 13 year-old being shot and killed on his front porch in 008.
Then he kept blabbing about the review of department resources that he and TD 9.5 did last year and their decision to disband units, put more officers in the districts, hold district commanders accountable via CompStat, cops on the dots before things occur, long-term solutions versus short-term gains and blah-blah-blah.
It's going to be a long, hot summer and McDrunken's ass is in the frying pan and about to hit the fire. Buh-bye Garry.
He and Rahm have set this city up for the bloodiest summer since the Al Capone years.
>>> McCARTHY FAIL WATCH <<<
There is no excuse for the corruption that has depleted the manpower, sapped the strength and driven the morale into the ground.
If McCarthy won't pack up and leave, then Chicago will be the ignominious end of a failed career.
Stay Safe, and keep your partners and family safe.
warched it, mcstupid claims we're still have a 10% DECLINE in crime. Time for him and chief "I Gotcha" tracey to go!!!!
The Supe says it's going to take time for his new strategy to take effect and start working......8 dead 50 wounded for this last weekend, gold coast up for grabs. We might try using some old strategy, it tends to work right away!
Here is North Avenue beach live from Castaways.

What a pathetic load of BULLSHIT.
This fucking stooge hasn't got a clue what to do other than spout the exact same bullshit he and every other politician before him spew...more garbage about "we got a new strategy" and "we're doing better".
This fucking idiot hasn't got the balls or the knowledge to understand what needs to be done in this city, but that's what you get when you hire a ball licker who's sole focus is to one-up himself.
This city's gonna burn this year, and it's all due to Emanuel and his pet dipshit McArthy.
Hey folks, how're you liking Emanuel's experiment to destroy the police department?
I can't wait until he attempts to start blaming the few police there are left in this city for it's violence. I can't wait.
Despite all that is wrong with the department, one person like a Sup. or any district commander is not responsible for all this crime. They need to stop shooting each other. There is no fear of any consequences in committing any crime. Embezzlers serve more time than someone who shoots and sometimes kills another. Laws need to be changed. Gang members need to be treated as domestic terrorists in the eyes of the law. Longer and true time served is necessary.
Dump him and this compstat bullshit
Studies have shown that in new york it was not compstat that brought down the crime rate but the 30% increase in manpower
We have been duped
Spoke with some people from Chicago (Lakeview area) at a suburban Birthday party over the weekend.
These people are SO clueless as to the crime going on in Chicago, I told them to start reading SCC.
I cannot believe how unaware people are as to the violence and the volume of crimes going on. Then again, all the mainstream Chicago media is clueless (or is told to be clueless).
I asked this woman - do you REALLY think they closed the beaches last year because "it was too hot"?
She was for gun control so I guess she is a hopeless case. I told her go buy an iPhone and walk down N. Michigan Avenue. She'll find out reality pretty quick.
Not a LEO, JAFO.
Murder and mayhem....Chicago is a violent city...largest # of gang-bangers in the country.....Folks Want to flee. Bad publicity. Scary.
Simple problem to fix. Hire more Police! Has everyone forgotten how simple that was?
I don't care how well the NATO summit went. It was not him or anyone person or group that made it a success. It was the collaborative efforts for all of CPD. That day has came and gone! What about me being afraid to go anywhere in Chicago? What about the fact I ride the train every day and need to ride the train! What are we citizens going to do when the Red line shuts down and these heathens are in our neighborhoods now riding the buses and on the Metra? What then? Mc Carthy and May Emanuel need to go! No matter how much we hated Mayor Daley and Weis, I will take them back any day over these two clowns!
Absolutely unacceptable that this part of the city has been lost to the beast. They do whatever they want with little or no consequences. Nothing will be done until some innocent person is killed by these savages. We need to hire about 2000-3000 more police, plain and simple.
Supt. McPickled sezs he's got it under control and I believe him. "hiccup" Another round of Kool-Ade
I say start rounding up the misfit parents and make public examples out of them.
Either that, or, does anyone know how to chemically castrate an entire community?
The parents continually get a pass. At least Rahm is calling them out (kind of), and is saying the community needs to step up.
I retired six years ago. Moved out of the city the next day - literally. Used to enjoy living far enough away to get away from the shit, but close enough to enjoy this wonderful city. But no more. If I go to a play, it's afternoon, lunch. No evenings in the city anymore. Very sad. And I tell all my friends the same thing. He's gotta find the money somewhere to hire more coppers. And that's a fact, Jack!
The City wide Units that kept the thugs in check were disbanded because the last two Mayors wanted to downsize the police department. Big mistake we all saw coming, but Daley did not.
This complete loss of control falls on those two Mayors. This is National news. Tourism will suffer and people have been and will be hurt. It's not just the gang bangers that have it coming, but real, actual victims.
Remember this and the NATO costs when you get to the ballot box. This Mayor is a nightmare.
Rahm and McCarthy need not worry about the south and west sides. They will forever be what they are unless major gentrification happens, like the Near West Side and Humboldt Park area.
The resources need to be allocated downtown. If that means sending a Tact car from every district, so be it. That's 20 cars and 40 bodies. Send a few guys from Gangs/SAT than you easily 100 bodies.
It's simple. Get ahead of before gets out of control. I can't stress this enough: do not worry about the south and west sides! If you want to save this city, save downtown.
The blame lies squarely on the powers-that-be that are depleting the police numbers to try to show taxpayers that noone is exempt from the cost cutting, I mean "savings" for them. If I was a Chicago resident and was fearful of visiting downtown because of lack of police and overabundance of criminals, I would be begging for the politicians to be finding money for police. This little thief has money for everything except public services. "Ceasefire" 2 million??? Hah! I hope a teacher strike sinks this litle prick and his presidential dreams!

Gmac Attack: The "block by block" crime reduction Plan.
This ping-pong principle works when you can eliminate the infestation. (Cockroaches, if you can't kill them all, what's the point?) How many police does it take to move a group from say a corner on 63rd St. Then have that group bump heads with the thugs from a corner on 67th?
Duh.
All the press time and interviews to calm the working folks so they can feel safe at night. This is a Rahm thing. Getting the word out and making all that's bad seem like a passing whim. An uptick. A spate.
Then guess who goes into a rage about what the Commanders are doing about it. They should be asking the patrol officers. They'll tell a story.
Nobody will admit that the police can't do anything but lock up a couple thugs downtown, only to have them come back the next night and bring their trouble with.
Theres no punishment, no jail time, nothing.
So, the Superintendant is going on TV to promote this Plan. Meanwhile 50 Part time sock monkeys sit around City Hall with their mouths sewn shut.
Nobody's talking about manpower yet. Unless Rahm can squeeze Washington for some Obama Ca$h...its almost November..

Right, is that before he gets his ass handed to him by congress because he lied to them and is stalling on giving them the documents on the gun scandal...He needs to go for sure, along with this whole administration.
The department is starting a "buy back " program a la special employment. Or "Safe city". They are going to hire back coppers, Sgts, and Lts to be deployed in high crime areas. Sounds like Operation Safe City all over again. Ask anyone that was involved in that fiasco last time. Some of the old coppers showing up just for the $$$ was sick. There was literally a f/1 who showed up with a walking cane because it "helped her get around".
Just remember this, they don't have to hire more coppers if you keep volunteering to work your day off. It's a hard thing with catholic tuition and property taxes but don't forget it's non-pensionable.
Make them hire more police!!!!
Big command changes are coming within the next week - 10 days.
I can tell you dont know what you are talking about. They are always coming this Friday.
So treating p/os like shit and denying c/u is causing the gangbangers to shoot more and crime to go up? LOL LoL
Yeah you goofy clown. It makes the dog even bigger dogs. And it makes the workers not want to make arrests. If you work in a busy district you should be able to take off any day you want. That should be one of the pirks for working in a district that citizens don't appreciate the good things that you do.
Jumping the shark in 3, 2, 1
We need more cars in little boxes where there are no calls for service or any people in them, while the rest of the district goes up for grabs.
Maybe its time to put the power back into the hands of the patrolmen on the street, and take it away from the self promoting, racist preachers that the city continually confers with. Why the city,cpd brass, and the mayors office continue to cater to these preachers who are all to often more concerned about the cadillac or mercedes they are driving then anything that happens on the street in their neighborhoods, befuddle me. I just wish for once the leadership in this city would have the backbone that is displayed every day by the men and women of the cpd on the front line dealing with these assholes. To all the officers out there know that citizens are greatful for all that you do. Not CPD just a thankful resident.
cpd could have 3,000 more police on the street and it won't stop shootings in the ghetto , no adult supervision in chicago ghettos
end of story
It's funny how the FOP newsletter finally put in the retired officers, but where is their replacements. We can't keep losing officer and not replacing them.
It doesn't take a math wiz to see that the numbers are not going to work out in the long run for officers safety.
I guess it doesn't matter when you sit in an office all day and don't have to deal with the street people trying to hurt us or kill us. but who I'm, I just a lonely blue shirt that doesn't have a brain cus I'm not a white shirt.
STOP F@UCKING WITH OFFICER SAFETY. ONE DAY IT'S GOING TO BACK FIRER AND OFFICERS ARE GOING TO GET HURT

Did anyone in city hall see the list of cops who have retired over the winter?
Right here and right now, these policies are making for the destruction of Chicago where Detroit will look like shangri-la. Years from now, when people will do research as to how Chicago got that way, they will see the roots were started several years ago in the lack of a cohesive and strong policing policy.
In the meantime, the rest of us have to suffer because of the lack of real leadership in this city and we will suffer the hardships and financial losses of trying to "serve and protect" a largely ungrateful citizenry that is definitely diminishing.
OR to restate the above: Fuck you Emanuel and your thieving democratic party.

Laws do NOT need to be changed.
Laws need to be ENFORCED.
And, for that to happen, you need an adequate number of enforcers.
Then, justice has to be administered. For that, you need judges who understand the difference between compassion and gullibility.
Then, politicians have to support the above-listed groups, instead of undermining their efforts.
Violence Reduction Overtime Initiative The Department has announced a new Violence Reduction Overtime Initiative that will start Thursday, June 14, 2012. Officers will be able to work Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays on their RDOs and scheduled furlough days excluding furlough extensions. Officers will be allowed to work consecutive days.
This initiative will be open to Officers in D-1 and D-2 pay grades. Officers will be paid at the rate of time and one-half. This is a performance based overtime initiative. Officers will have to meet the following criteria in order to be considered for inclusion into the initiative. Officers will have to have meet three of the following five criterion; 5 moving violations, 5 parking tickets, 5 contact cards, 3 physical arrests, and 3 curfew violators. The time period used for these statistics to be eligible for June assignments will be May 1, 2012 through June 12, 2012. Members will apply online via the ICLEAR system. Application must be made by Wednesday, June 13, 2012. Assignment will be based on seniority.
Officers will report to 61st and Racine at either 1600, 1800, or 2000 hours depending on the day of the week. They will be deployed throughout the City as needed. They may be assigned to a car or a foot post.
We are now in what I call "Duck and Cover" mode in more ways than one.
Political Duck and Cover..
How can you argue with someone using the tried and true management response of " ...you're absolutely right, these things take time, we're working on it.."?
You can't!
It's a tactic that's as old as: "the check's in the mail" and "of course I'm wearing one can't you feel it" and many others.
Nevertheless while you've bought yourself some time this is the second weekend in a row where over 40 people have been shot so how much longer do we give?

9 dead and 46 wounded is actually 55 people shot right?
Meanwhile...
City Officials are boasting about the Blues Fest.
City officials say attendance for last weekend's music festival was more than 500,000. That's 50,000 more audience members than in 2011. Officials say those extra people helped increase food and beverage sales by 26 percent to more than $760,000.

Since we have this so-called financial transparency in the Sanctuary City I'd like to know what the other side of the cities ledger shows.
How much is it costing the city to handle 54 shootings a weekend? More than the total food and bev. sales at the Blues Fest I'll wager.

How could you possibly compare a guy with some balls to our feline swizzlestick/mayor's puppet?
You're an idiot.
I can't get image out of my head of McWhatty receiving his award the other day, hugging Rahm and laying his head almost all the way down on Rahm's shoulder. Rahm was absolutely rigid.
The war on drugs is a failure. It's a tool used to extract more money from the taxpayers like the school children as used as tools for speed trap cameras.
This city and this economy can't afford to lock up all the drug operations that the aldermen, the mayor, the representatives, the governor, have given sanctuary to.
It's beyond crime. It's a culture.
More cops on the street is treating the symptom and not the cause. We don't need more laws, police, city ordinances. What we need is for our current laws to be enforced equally including prosecution of the investment bankers that have wiped out over 40% of the average persons wealth with their housing frauds.
The corruption spreads far and wide my friends. We are in a developing class war.
The gangbangers are not so stupid after all.
I think it was John Dillinger, who, when asked why he robbed banks, responded, "Because that's where the money is."
What kind of good shit do you get in a robbery on the south or west side? Why not go for the good stuff people have up north?
I would like to know why the media doesn't mention that ALL (I believe) of the victims were white, and ALL (I believe) of the offenders were black?
Isn't that racism?????
The scary thing is that they're just beating people up to beat them up. Which is actually worse than a robbery, because it serves no purpose...other than to be sadistic thugs.
I carry my gun everywhere. How come none of them ever run into an off-duty PO? Because PO's know better than to go downtown anymore, or use public transportation anymore.
'Nuff said.
P.S. Forgot to mention that part of McNumbnutts strategy for crime reduction is jeopardizing all the men and women on this department- Because of the lack of manpower, many officers have been assigned to guard prisoners in the hospital - alone. It's been happening more often and so far it is just pure luck that no one has been hurt. FOP where are you?????

Mr super you just lost any respect you were able to gain during nato.you stated on channel 2 news that you are going to check to see where the officers were at during the time the citizen got attacked on 800 e dewitt downtown.they might have been closing the beach down ,stopping another mugging,stopping a theft offender,getting another fucking event or in the box of a fake zone.we cant be everywhere sir! Mayor daley closed the housing projects and the animals have started to spread out.its like closing the zoo and telling the go! And destroy and eat everyone.

Typical bullshit. Blame the patrol officers!!! They're lazy! They're fat! They're bullies! They don't deserve pensions!
Notice the sleight of hand--it's our fault because we were busy on another job not to be in that 800 block at that moment in time. For him to insinuate that the patrol officers were dogging it is the ultimate show of disrespect for us, not to mention an unforgivable insult. You have to read between the lines people!
And the media doesn't even pick up on it.
Fucking media aren't media--they're wanna-be celebrities, nothing more. Narcisistic (sp?--so the spelling Nazis don't attack) idiots more interested in having 'fun' on the air than actually doing anything remotely related to 'journalism'.
And BTW. Fuck you McRetard. All the 'bosses' from sgt's on up laugh out loud at you. That goes for patrol, the D unit, and the specialized units. You are a walking, talking cartoon to all of us, nothing more. We hate you and are just waiting for the day the fishmonger flicks your pasty ass out of Chicago like a booger on his finger.
That's what you are McIdiot, a booger.
Mc312 was quoted on NPR this morning as having told the broadcaster that the increase in violence here is actually proof of the success of his program to break up the gangs. The gangs are splintering, and when they do this, per him, they attack one another.

OMG! Are you fucking kidding?
So how does he explain the wilding? The shitheads are consuming too many trans-fats in the 'food deserts'? The air is bad?
What a FUCKING-FUCKING MORON.
Just when you thougt it couldn't get any worse. According to Breaking News:
Governor Quinn is revisiting the issue of early release of "non-violent offenders" (translated drug dealers). He had stopped them, now may start up again. Anyone want to guess what neighborhoods they will end up in? God help any good people left there (and they are mostly elderly). Illinois is bankrupt on soooo many levels!!!

B.T.T.T.
(Bumped To The Top)
Here's what McDrunkin and the other city fools are proposing to stem the violence:
New OT Initiative:
"Violence Reduction Overtime Initiative"
The Dept has annound a new OT initiative that will start Thrusday June 14.
Officers will be able to work Thrusday, Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and MOndays on their RDO's and furloughs AND WILL BE ALLOWED TO WORK CONSECUTIVE DAYS!!!!
It is for D-1 and D-2's only.
Time and one half rate.
This is a preformance based initiative, meaning youhave to have 5 movers, 5 parkers, 5 contact cards, 3 physical arrests AND 3 curfews to be eligible.
The time period for the statistics is 01 May - 12 Jun 2012.
You apply online via ICLEAR.
Applications begin on 13 June.
Assignment is seniority based.
PO's will report to 61st and Racine for roll call at either 1600, 1800 or 2000 hours depending on the day of the week.
Officers will be deployed throughout the city as needed and they may be assigned a car or a foot post.
Good luck guys and gals.
I can't speak for other districts but in the 3rd district, the whole box thing isn't working. Neither is holding a car down all day for the 6500 block of Drexel. We're running from one end of the district while the box cars sit. Drexel car sit. Our three 10-4 school cars bs the entire day. You want results, free up some cars
P.S. Forgot to mention that part of McNumbnutts strategy for crime reduction is jeopardizing all the men and women on this department- Because of the lack of manpower, many officers have been assigned to guard prisoners in the hospital - alone. It's been happening more often and so far it is just pure luck that no one has been hurt. FOP where are you?????

What?
Are you so afraid of your shadow that you need a two man car to guard a prisioner?
It was always a 99 unit on prisoner duty.
Violence Reduction Overtime Initiative
"The Department has announced a new Violence Reduction Overtime Initiative that will start Thursday, June 14, 2012. . . Officers will be paid at the rate of time and one-half."
TIME AND A HALF?
"THOSE DAMN PUBLIC SECTOR UNIONS" Rahm says you policemen and firemen and your families should eat shit.
Ok with all of this talk about flash mobs, mob attacks, groups of "young people" (i.e. young black kids) acting a fool, etc... where is the video evidence? I just think people are blowing it out of proportion and embellishing the truth. So many people have cell phones with video recording and you mean to tell me there is not a single video of this stuff going on? I find it hard to believe.
Let that MORON 1st Deputy WYSINGER take over . . . the last taxpayer remember to turn off the light.

[An] ACORN official (Joe McGavin) will go from operating a corrupt leftist community group that’s banned by Congress from receiving federal funding to controlling over $445 million in U.S. taxpayer funds. The money is part of a $7.6 billion Treasury Department program to help the “unemployed or substantially underemployed” make their mortgage payments.
How about a little help for our pension ??
As long as the black community refuses to change, nothing will change. It will only get worse. We are reaching a boiling point. There will be civil unrest and race riots. Make sure your are armed and have plenty of ammo. Get some firearms training too. Best bet is two to the chest one to the head.

I say start rounding up the misfit parents and make public examples out of them.
Either that, or, does anyone know how to chemically castrate an entire community?
The parents continually get a pass. At least Rahm is calling them out (kind of), and is saying the community needs to step up.
6/11/2012 03:29:00 PM<<<
Calling them up for what?
What are they going to do, march or get their kids off the street to do homework?
Do you ever hear these marchers call out HIRE MORE POLICE!
We should send in our people to hand out signs and chant that.

Tired, overworked cops will be even more tired and overworked.
They will make more mistakes.
It's may be too late but the sooner the better to hire a lot more and restore some old CPD values.
McCarthy doesn't hire police, Rahm does. There is nothing McCarthy or any other boss can do to control crime. Shutting down the CTA is a good idea. Other than that, once the court system starts prosecuting and putting the mutts in jail, crime will drop. But that will never happen as long as the Mayor, City Council, and State's Attorney keep pandering to the race-baiting poverty pimps and reverends.
You can hire all the cops you want but it won't change anything until the city and state try to knock out these frivolous lawsuits with punitive damages.
First we got sued for disorderly conduct arrest, then mob action arrests and now we have to jump through hoops for gang loitering arrests.
The days of telling these shit heads to get the fuck off the corner or put them right back on an outboard train to the south and west sides are over.
We're the bad guys violated some sixteen year old rights who tells the bleedy heart liberals he was only on his way to niketown to buy new gym shoes, but we know he didn't even have $2.00 in his pocket, but we're the big bad ogre when we're only trying to keep an individual
Or a family from falling victim to this scum.
This is just hearsay, but I remember hearing that a black mother said she would rather have her son "banging" downtown as there is less chance of him getting shot down there then if he is banging in the hood.
So in the mom's eyes and culture, it's okay to gangbang, just don't do it where you might get shot???????
I'm in desperate need of a good JibJab fix!!!!
notice how after such bloody weekends they have some press conference with new ideas. As if they expect this to happen. watch what happens. every monday they will have new ideas and expiations. when shit hits the fan some time around august, they will have press conference where they will announce 200 to 300 new police officers going to the academy. they have to do that anyway, no way around it. they know shit is fucked up. so new week, new idea. ..so sup what are you doing about this high crime?? well we have this new idea.. so sup you are doing something about it?...ohh yes!
oh ok. thanks.
i work in a busy place and i would say that 80% of the crime in not being reported. people simply don't care about reports anymore because for victim it does not make any difference unless its related to insurance. crime is way up ..this city is becoming like Detroit. its sad to see such fine city going to waste...

Apparently so common now not even news worthy. Or its conspiratorial on behalf of the politicians and the news media. Rahmster has given up the gold coast and fullerton to oak to the neer do wells. Whats up with that?
Pay attention you young pups. In the mid 1980's Chicago would routinely pass the 1000 per year homicide rate. This was during the Washington-Sawyer administrations. At that time the 11th District alone counted for one percent of the nations murders. One of the reasons given for electing young Rich Daley was because being a former prosecutor, he would help clean up the city. To do so he appointed Matt Rodriguez Supt. Matt later accepted gifts and vacations from a mob related guy. So try to figure out if things will get better. Good luck!
OT:
Wow. Talk about extortion..from FOP Update:
Officers will have to have meet three of the following five criterion; 5 moving violations, 5 parking tickets, 5 contact cards, 3 physical arrests, and 3 curfew violators. The time period used for these statistics to be eligible for June assignments will be May 1, 2012 through June 12, 2012. Members will apply online via the ICLEAR system. Application must be made by Wednesday, June 13, 2012. Assignment will be based on seniority....
What does this mean? It means we are SHORT-HANDED.
A department-wide boycott of this bullshit would be nice, but it'll never happen.
The Austin neighborhood, where Quinn lives, historically has been one of the city’s more violent neighborhoods, with more than 170 homicides since 2007. http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2012/06/11/quinn-signs-new-state-law-to-target-street-gangs/

I think Chanel 7's security guru aka J-Fled should interview McBeachy.
Lots of overtime oppertunities appear to be their latest attempt to keep a lid on the problem areas of the City. Include Chicaog and State on that list, and Michigan Ave.
I guess getting rid of SOS, MSF, TRU, and Summer Mobile was a good idea. N
If the city burns 9.5 will blame us and use it to gett he taxpayers against and get his pension reform. If we save the city then 9.5 will say he was right we only need 8000 police officers to protect the city.
I think we're going to go on 12 hr shifts for the summer probably until the 1st cold snap and snow fall. 1st and 2nd watch will run the districts and 3rd watch will be a massive mobile force.
It's "The 9.5 and McFlurry show" ladies and gentleman, new stragedies are being implemented, gangs have been around for 40-50years, huh what a dumbass. Crime is down 8%, why don't you climb out of ivory tower and hit the streets and you make the stops, create contact cards, maybe crime will go down and will give you a bonus. Your contact cards will be entered into your bogus ass compstat numbers, and crime will be lowered. Or better yet go write a mover to a working family man/woman and throw in a parker because definitely doing this two things crime will go down. Best of luck. But you know something else this city will never change because all it cares is about creating revenue. At roll call there is a constant reminder we are low on parkers, movers and curfews/school absentism. The city does not care about arrest, why because that cost money to the city. Overtime for the P.O. So in reality which one will the city prefer revenue or arrest. Stop listening to all your merit hack bozos that are under you. Most of them are clueless and none of them have the balls to tell you otherwise. Your Compstat number days are numbered, Crime will not go down, and any new stragedy that you implement will not work because you do not have the manpower to make it happen. Here is very quick solution HIRE MORE POLICE. It is simple as that.
Was again trying to justify the disbanding of the units, do believe they realize it was a mistake
Dump Angerone. His song and dance is not fooling anybody. If you officers working in the 18th district believe that your hard work will pay off, you are just kidding yourself. Angerone will most likely nominate another person from narcotics to be sergeant because he thinks they are better than a district slug.
Not everyone in Lake View is clueless to crime - but far too many are sadly.
It's right in LV, too.
Watch the disenfranchised "youth" from distant 'hoods marrauding down Belmont, Halsted and other arterials.
Bands of predators in the streets, taking over the sidewalks, loitering, littering, thieving, assaulting and battering, not to mention prostitution and drugs.
For bicyclists, we go north along the lakefront path and avoid the wilding packs at North Avenue.
Behavior has consequences, except for these shitheads who don't live here and don't give a damn about those that do.
The local neighborhood paper, Inside-Booster, reports local crime, but too many don't bother to read it anyway.
Off the topic. But working zone 6 (7th and 8th districts) its hard enough to get in sometimes on the air with the radio being so busy. So the following doesn't help any:
700....
700 go ahead.
700. Bla Bla Bla
700x....
700x go ahead.
700x Bla Bla Bla and Bla
700....
700 go ahead.
700 Bla Bla Bla Bla and Bla
700x
700x go ahead.
700x Bla Bla Bla Bla Bla and Bla
Well, you guys get the point. And its all day and night!!! Is there way to get 700 and 700x a separate zone?
In order to show the city the police are tired of getting dumped on there should not be 1 police officer signed up to work the new over time initiative. I have 2 kids in catholic high school and 2 kids in catholic grammer schools, so I know getting paid time and a half is tempting and would make things a little better for the short term, but in the long run the city will just dump on us more and more as long as we allow them.
So, I am asking police officers to tell the city no we will not work our days off just so the politicians can steal more tax payer money and deplete this department even more then they already have.
Instead of bitching about getting time due denied, let the city know that they need to hire more bodies to work the beats. Things will not change until we stick together. Let McCarthy and Rahm fall flat on their faces, do not let them put a band aid on a bullet wound. Do not sign up for this political initiative. This is just another bs move by the politiicians, just like when they disbanded TRU and MSF and told the sheep hurders in the media that they put 1000 police on the beat.
DO NOT SIGN UP FOR THE OVER TIME. TELL THE CITY WE ARE FED UP. LET THE POLITICOS SIT IN THE SHIT THEY CREATED BY DEPLETING THE MAN POWER ON THIS JOB.

I feel for you cops, I feel for my birthplace of Chicago. Moved out 20+ yrs ago due to husband's job...still have 3 adult sons living there, one works on the North Ave Beach. What is it gonna take to REALLY change things in this country? It is not just Chicago, every big city (and some medium ones) has turned into a zoo with all the dangerous animals turned loose (and I apologize to animals for that description). Maybe we need to make carrying a gun mandatory? At least we innocents will have a fighting chance.

You are correct about the mobbed up Daley, but Rodriguez was Sup in the Mid to late 90's. Also, the highest the Murder rate ever was happened in 1991 and I believe it was in the 940's give or take a few. It was consistently in the 700 and 800 through out the 90's. The only reason it isn't higher today is simply because medical treatment has gotten better. The doctors are keeping people alive today that would have died in the 90's. More people shot today then back in the 90;s just Doctors are keeping more people alive.
ABC Ch 7 did a piece on the 1000pm news about the guvment free cell phone giveaway program. If that doesn't get people steaming mad, nothing will, and I was surprised to see it on ch 7. The reporter seemed to be getting pissed.
One guy, asked about "who pays for this" said he didn't know, the guvment must pay." As usual. One woman had her own cell phone around her neck and was in line for a free guvment cell phone. Asked why, she said she could turn off her own phone if the guvment was gwine to give her a free phone.
And all you had to do to get this free guvment cell phone was present proof you was a po' folk, a food assistance card would do. Some people had multiple free cell phones, of course.
An FCC statement said they would crack down on abuse of the program to protect a valuable asset for our country's "most vulnerable" citizens.
As of this year, almost 500,000 people were on the program that costs US TAXPAYERS $1.2 billion. And like I said, they reported that many were getting multiple free phones.
The po' folks could also add minutes to the free phone on top of the 100 free minutes a month with their own funds. (which they get from us)
Gotta love the guvment. They ensure generations will never ever be responsible for their own lives.
Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour quote comes to mind.

I will agree to pay cuts and pension reductions when Daley and Madigan and Cullerton cut their own pay and/or pensions. When Emil Jones and Beavers give back their pension then we can talk about cutting mine.
All Clarabelle Quinn has to do is to sign the bill already passed that would give Chicago and other areas some new casinos. Why send that money to Indiana? I give a shit if some asshole steals some of it, get the money faucet flowing.
10:31:00 PM- Keep up with the times you seasoned vet. Medical technology has improved quite a bit since the mid 1980's. Granted now, Chicago probably wouldn't routinely pass 1000 homicides a year we'd come pretty close so just take it easy there old school.

You're an idiot.

No, I'm not an idiot. The day after Hoff publicly defied Rahm, I posted he'd be told to find another job and he would probably leave for 'personal reasons'. And, lo and behold, Bob Hoff was forced out by Rahm Emanuel and announced he was leaving to spend more time with his family. (Which he did, for a weekend or two til he started his MUCH better new job.)
Now, it's obvious Rahm has tired of Garry McCarthy. Garry will be told to withdraw gracefully or be fired publicly. He will opt for the choice that might still allow him to be employable in the future and he will withdraw gracefully instead of being publicly humiliated.
In no way did I compare the quality of leadership between Hoff and McGoofy. In no way did I compare the quality of the mettle of each man. Don't infer what isn't there.
So, I guess I'm an idiot for predicting Rahm is about to dispense with another public employee? Or, maybe you're just PUI.
With over 100 people shot over the last two weekends alone I ask you all how much does this cost the healthcare system?
All the people that are doing it right, playing by the rules, your teachers, police, the average taxpayer...they all have to pick up the bill as the political apparatus shoves healthcare cuts down our throats to pay for these shootings.

You mean the cell phones and cameras that these groups SPECIFICALLY target for theft? I understand what you are saying but when a roving pack of 50 wild dogs is charging, would you pull out a steak and wave it at them?

That is a valid point. But that idea and your comment led to this suggestion. Can someone film from from a second floor or higher. This way the camera person is probably not visible?
Ok with all of this talk about flash mobs, mob attacks, groups of "young people" (i.e. young black kids) acting a fool, etc... where is the video evidence? I just think people are blowing it out of proportion and embellishing the truth. So many people have cell phones with video recording and you mean to tell me there is not a single video of this stuff going on? I find it hard to believe.

Maybe it's because the people who usually video this type of thing are the OFFENDERS in this case. And the good people are running for cover or are already getting their ass beat.
Last week the D unit was told to have a uniform ready to go for the rest of the summer. Memo out today, dicks being detailed to Puerto Rican Fest.
46 or more shot, 9 dead this weekend and dicks will be babysitting in Humbolt Park.

There goes whatever was left of the clearance rate.
Build more flower pots, get more street lights, more pavers in the cross walks. Thats the best use of the money.

ANd thank you for the futuristic, George Jetson streetlights being installed in historic Logan Square and Avondale. They're so quaint and charming and they fit so well into the historic charm of the neighborhoods. Idiots spending money just to spend money.

What happened to the video footage of the wildings that on Michigan Ave that were posted on Youtube? ( especially when the one in Nike Town , with the 30 or so teens boldly stealing from the store. )
Was it taken down ?
"Rodriguez was Sup in the Mid to late 90's."
Wrongo, Matt was the interim Supe during the great flood of 92 & was appointed soon after.
Its a very difficult moment rite now but FOR THE LONG TERM BENEFIT OF CPD AND OUR CONTRACT -- DON'T. SIGN UP FOR THE O.T.
Big Mack, we know it's not up to you, but if you want to survive and you want your boss to be president, then get the police force back up to it's original staffing.
6/11/2012 07:38:00 AM
and WHY would you want 9.5 to be president? isn't one chicago presidential disaster enough misery already? quit helping that cause, bro
8 more years to go says....Day in and day out on this blog
I read coppers complain and I probably agree with most...but how about we actually start sticking together....not a single copper should sign up for that bs ot coming up, coppers still out making silly arrests, writing parkers movers all so that July 1st Rahm can stick us without any vasoline...there's got to be someway coppers can stick together and make these assholes hire more police....
AND now,
"Three men WAS killed and 10 others wounded, at least two critically, in five separate shootings on the South Side, police said this morning."
I wonder if the on scene reporter AXED 'em more questions?

The day the Chicago flood broke was Matt's first day as supe.

As for your video evidence. By the time someone pulls out their Iphone to record any of this, it will be snatched out of their hands and the owner will end up with a blouse to the puss.

10:31:00 PM- Keep up with the times you seasoned vet. Medical technology has improved quite a bit since the mid 1980's. Granted now, Chicago probably wouldn't routinely pass 1000 homicides a year we'd come pretty close so just take it easy there old school.
6/11/2012 10:47:00 PM
Medical technology does not prevent 600 murders a year here. Just doesn't. The worst year for homicides was probably around 1974 when there were over 900. Never hit 1,000.
Medical technology still has to plug leaks and try to get bullets out. If they get to a trauma center in time all the rules still apply, stop the bleeding, clear the airway etc. Technology just does not save 600 or 500 or 400 GSW's a year in this city over what was done 20 years ago. You young pup you.
And the notion that there is more violence now than in the 70's and 80's is a fabrication. There is way more reporting of it now. When there was routinely over 700 homicides a year into the early 90's , many of them just didn't make the news. A shithead killing another shithead just wasn't newsworthy.

To SCC Fan: Where is the video evidence?
Do you watch the news or read the daily or neighborhood newspapers?
Do you ever leave the relative safety of your residence and go outside and open your eyes?
City Hall, aldermen, and the big news outlets don't or won't report on these black-on-white hate crimes.
What about racial profiling? These urban predators are profiling white victims - and without consequences.
Go out at night and look around. For your own
safety, go to Boystown and observe the miscreants. It's impossible to rationally defend threir behavior. And when these broke thugs become old enough to enter the bars, they steal and pickpocket. Open your eyes!
6/11/2012 11:32:00 PM
Thanks for your insight. Now go back and read what I wrote in response to the person suggesting it is all hype. Your response to me has nothing to do with what I wrote. Let me guess, you are on at least your second merit promotion?
Lazy coppers , any copper worth his salt could write 5 movers , 5 parkers in 2 hours in most districts . TVB these drivers , write some parkers around the aldercreatures offices.

LOL. I'm starting to think it's a good thing that they haven't made a class in over 4 years. It may be a blessing in disguise that I'm still sitting on the list. I could use the money but it seems like the D-Unit is getting pounded dry on a daily basis.

Now here is a hair gel talking about something he knows nothing about. What do you base this BS statement on? Just look at the number of shootings reported today and those that were reported in the 70's A big difference my friend. I was a homicide dick in the 70's and went to a hell of a lot of murder scenes where the person was dead. No amount of medical advance would have saved them. You talk out of your ass.
What?
Are you so afraid of your shadow that you need a two man car to guard a prisioner?
It was always a 99 unit on prisoner duty.
6/11/2012 06:11:00 PM
Bullshit. It wasn't always a 99 unit on prisoner duty. I don't care how you want to slice it tough guy. It's dangerous, and it's stupid. It's a fucking PRISONER. A prisoner should not be guarded by a lone officer. Prisoners tend to want to ESCAPE if you know what I mean.

I saw it once in the summer of 2010 by North Ave. beach. The cops closed the lakefront while I was out running. I moved to the suburbs a few months later. You would have to be an idiot to take out your cell phone within eyeshot of a group like that. I had a friend get jumped by a group of about 8-10 honor students in Streeterville at 7 o'clock one night recently. Several others got the same treatment and the only information they got was what was shared by victims and staff at Northwestern Hospital. Nary a peep in the media.
The lakefront and shopping districts in Streeterville, Gold Coast and Lincoln Park are Chicago's most valuable assets, but the undermanned police don't have effective control of those areas. The mayor needs to hire more cops no matter the cost because the alternative will be a hollowing out of those prime areas as more people see what I saw and say "sayonara."

Okay, retired sergeant here. I have never heard of a two-man prisoner detail and I just left last year.
We always had to keep track of who was at what hospital and make sure they got lunch reliefs and personals, and the only way a 10-4 unit was assigned was if the prisoner was extremely combative.
Buy yourself a second pair of handcuffs, like most of us did. I can't see your prisoner sneaking out of the hospital with a hospital bedframe attached to each wrist. Don't the lockups still have leg irons? Ah, but what do I know...

I'm in the D unit and we were NOT told that. It's a rumor at this point, but a rumor that might come true.

Why do I now have a mental image of some wilding female mugger pulling the victim's face close to her breasts? Blouse to the puss conjures up all sorts of images.
You must be really - ahem - mature, to have chosen that word. Haven't heard that phrase used in decades. Thanks for the memories.

Glad you are retired. I've been in a white shirt for half my career. I'll be joining you in a year or two. I have never let one police officer sit on a prisoner. Never. One on one is fair in basketball, not police work.
We are supposed to win. We have to. We have to do everything we can to guarantee it. The consequences of a loss could mean injury or death to one of our own.
OT - Diid one F2 bike cop from 023/019 actually write 130 tickets last weekend ?
Wow! Nothing like giving the city tons of revenue when they are trying to take our pensions!
Or is she so desperately trying to get on the city bike unit?
