"...the trend is actually turning"
The June totals continue to rise, surpassing last year's totals. Almost 20 more shot:
- A teenage boy was killed in the South Side Hamilton Park neighborhood and at least 17 others were wounded in shootings throughout the city between Friday and Saturday nights.
Garry continues to spin so fast he looks like an Iranian centrifuge:
- “We have a lot of violence in the city of Chicago,” Police Supt. Garry McCarthy said Saturday afternoon at a South Side church where he announced three big drug busts. “The trend is actually turning. You would never know it, but the trend is actually turning.”
Yeah, sure Garry. It's turning so fast that we've actually gone past 180 degrees and we're coming full circle. Do you even bother to read the year-to-year stats instead of the "we had 50% less shootings during the noon to 3PM stretch of 22 June 2012 than 22 June 2011."?
We're running out of ways to say that McJersey and his bean counters are full of shit.
On a side note, nice job on the long term investigation that took down almost 50 members of six different gangs:
On a side note, nice job on the long term investigation that took down almost 50 members of six different gangs:
- Forty-nine people are facing charges after three separate investigations on the West and South sides uncovered cash, drugs and in one instance, a weapon used in an assault against a police officer, authorities said today.
The multiple investigations targeted drug markets in the city’s Wentworth, Englewood and Harrison Districts, police said.
Now let's see Anita get these assholes some real prison time.

Does all this bullshit make McCarthy a spinner? Personally I think spinners are hot.
I was at my mother's house visiting her and watching television. She is elderly and a church goer. After seeing the Supe on a news report, she said to me "Son, that man is full of shit." Can't fool mom.
Let's just call McCarthy and Wysinger, McSpinner and Paddlefoot.
This interview was stroking the revs and the black community. Pure bullshit!
Yeah things are turning against police. They are out manned and out gunned.
Civilian here. I for one am sick and tired of McCarthy and his minions telling the general populace of Chicago that crime is down. "The trend is actually turning. You would never know it, but the trend is actually turning.” Huh? What kind of double-talk is that? Define "trend" oh big throbbing brain. There are record numbers of people on the streets of Chicago that are winding up with more orifices in their bodies than they had when they left their abodes. I had a cop tell me last week that advances in medical science are a major contributing factor for the lower, relatively speaking, murder rate. In other words, the same wounds 20 years ago would have resulted in death. That makes sense unlike the unmitigated blather coming from police HQ. To the men and women of the CPD on the streets, thank you. To our esteemed pal, Garry M., please pack up your mustache comb and sunglasses and go back east.
"""Now let's see Anita get these assholes some real prison time."""
Good luck with that.
We can only imagine that certain alderman and political officials must be absolutely furious over these drug busts.
Why?
CPD just removed $1.1 million dollars from the local economy in at least one case.
We can assume that the other two bust were of similar size.
How are these communities going to replace that lost economy? The corporations? HA! Is Motorola, Sears, The CME Group going to create jobs with their tax break money for these people? Pffffft
Not trying to promote illegal activity but there are unintended consequences here and in this economy...where are they going to find $1.1 million dollars to replace for each of these busts to keep the legit businesses going?
You know this is likely to effect campaign contributions if one follows the money trail more than one hop.
Secretly furious I tell ya.
illinois has just been named the most in debt state in the country with a pension obligation of 44 billion dollars--- we are worse than california and new jersey--- governor quinn " potato head " has stated vociferously in the media that the day of reckoning has come--- reckoning for what, decades of fiscal mismanagement by elected officials who kicked the can down the road and now have to face reality--- their answer is to balance the budget on the backs of the working men and women of this state--- the entitlements however continue to flow unabated, a raging inferno fed with piles of paper currency so easily given away--- this state is a federal disaster area and a haven for crooked politicians and their associates who steal and pillage with no repercussions--- badboyovitch was just the tip of the iceberg....
Thomson is still sitting out here empty. No money for that or to keep Dwight or Tamms open, but plenty for a train to the Quad-Cities and the Jesse Jackson Jr. Imaginary airport near Peotone. Quinn can't turn those felons/democrats loose fast enough before November. I see a lot of I-bonds, continuances, and probation sentences on these drug arrests. Politically, it works. Right Anita? Rahm? Gov Jello? Barry Sotero?
But these are non-violent crimes so they'll be eligible for Gov. Quinn's early release program right?
On the other hand let's say that they all serve one year.
50 people sitting in the joint at a cost of about $150/day for 365 days == $2,737,500.
Who's gonna pay for that?
Not the corporations. The corporations need tax breaks because they create the jobs (hahahah).
If the middle class wants them locked up that's their problem according to the politicians and CEO's so tax the middle class to keep them in jail.
Only problem is that the middle class is tapped out.
So now add it up.
An estimated $3.3 million dollars in drug busts is taken out of Chicago's economy. Granted it's illicit money but nevertheless after it changes hands a few times it gets effectively laundered and shows up at legit businesses. New $500/pair gym shoes, $1,000 spinner rims, etc...Gone.
So that's $3.3 mil gone there and then tack on the cost of the jail time.
Who's pension is that money going to come out of? What healthcare and education cuts are we going to make to keep the thugs in jail. That's another $2 million dollars there.
I'm just sayin' they have things so f--ked up in this Sanctuary City we're screwed no matter what we do.
I have to wonder...are we getting more economic growth from the invisible NATO inspired tourist or from the illicit drug sales here?
What do you think?
If we shut down ALL the drug sales tomorrow would the Sanctuary City survive the economic shock?
Time to just GET OUT.
The Ponzi pyramid scam is over.
There is a solution to this.
The public isn't ready for it.....yet.
nice job on the drug arrests, but did anyone notice PAT QUIN'S NEW BILL THAT HE SIGNED THIS WEEK???? even earlier release for "non violent drug offenders"
It's Time To Recall This Mayor Out Of Office!!! .....,,,,.......He Does Not Care Who Dies Or Who Lives As Long As He Is Protected!!!!!!
Now let's see Anita get these assholes some real prison time.
-------
For all of her 'blah, blah, blah', remember the shot-up burglar (home invader) who got two years probation?
These guys won't get squat. They know it, which is why they keep on doing it.
I hope I'm wrong, but I doubt it.
You would never know it, but the trend is actually turning.”
------
You would never know it because it's not true, and therefore impossible to prove.
Have we started a countdown timer yet?
I'm sure McSnooky came here thinking he'd whip this town into shape and would leave here after an illustrious few years and write his own ticket....
One by one... exticntion!!
Off topic, what happened to golden boy rick flair, wasn't he supposed to be the real police, why isn't he speaking out against the bullshit of compstat.. is he that afraid that he doesn't want to lose his spot in 7.
OT:
my neighbor got a call while I was at his place today, an automated recording saying that they are ending the "Circuit Breaker" program.
I foresee a lot of uproar over the loss of this entitlement...
from a troller: I saw this too and thought in particular, the funniest thing this guy said is the trend is turning but you would never know it. Mr. Supt.: we see that the trend is turning all right. It is trending towards more citywide violence and thuggery on the streets. I have six family members including two little girls < 10yrs old coming from La La Los Angeles next month for the grandmas 80th birthday here. They want to stay Downtown for two days before they go out to the western suburbs for five more. What do I tell them about staying in Chicago?
Uh, what time do these shootings seem to occur? Why are these kids out that late?
"Forty-nine people are facing charges after three separate investigations on the West and South sides uncovered cash, drugs and in one instance, a weapon used in an assault against a police officer, authorities say"
---
It would nice to do a follow-up on these 49 and see how many lead to convictions and how many years in IDOC are actually served. How many will ever get on that bus to Joliet intake. And of course, how many have additional arrests in the next 6 months, year, two years. And how many are out now RWOC.
"Anita and prison time" in the same sentence? Bwaaahahahaha!
Sorry, SCC that cracked me up.
Now, if it were coppers that she was prosecuting...
"...the trend is actually turning"
---
I imagine General Custer said something like this right before the end.
The trend is turning. If you look at these numbers, you'll be distracted because they really don't mean anything. We just make them up as we go along so they sound official and hope you don't check them out.
We're down 50% in shootings in this ten minute block right here. Can't you see that? See? See? Look at my magic numbers.
Shut the fuck up. People are getting their throats slashed, shot, beaten and robbed and you're still talking shit. Hire more fucking police already.
McCarthy is like that Iraqi guy who kept saying everything is fine ... I can't help but think of that SNL skit where he is at the podium saying so, and the American tank crashes through the wall while he is saying it
There is a solution to this.
The public isn't ready for it.....yet.

I sense another Batman sequel.........
How about this: the commanders told to contact the aldermen in their districts to lobby for the new weed ordinance. WTF?
Let's just call McCarthy and Wysinger, McSpinner and Paddlefoot.
6/24/2012 12:19:00 AM
Quite insulting paddlefoot, at least he knows he knows he's a dog!!!!
Like your Iranian centrifuge analogy.
V/R JWest
Yes, narcotics are a big part of the economy in the U.S. and the reason there is so much profit is because there is risk. If you could import and sell cocain like sugar or coffee the reward would be less.
A bust here and there keeps the profit margin healthy.
What happened? Couple of weeks ago a lot of you guys were lining up to kiss the feet of St Gary after nato. And were quick to bash anyone that criticized him. At this point i dont think there is anything he can do to get the respect of the POs.
Great story with a happy ending.

Lest not forget the reverence, the drug sales monies go to church momma and then end up in the coffers of the reverends so they can build their mega churches!! The unintended consequences of drug sales. It keeps our drug economy going! Maybe we can some how use the drug sales monies to booster our pensions!!!!!!
Got to hand it to McCarthy he is quite a magician, this last statement prooves he has his entire head up his ass, magnificent!
Water turns fast at the drain, just before it goes down. I see a parallel here.
Why is everyone complaining?
We are on the right track. The trend is our friend. Everything is going great. Keep up the good work!
Funny, big drug bust within hours of Quinn signing early release--what's the point of arresting them?
I wonder if disbanding TRU, MSF and gutting other specialized units has anything to do with it?
and im not pissing on your back
Where is the forensic accounting that Rahm promised?
Where is the $2 BILLION from the Skyway? Who is watching the books?????
Don't worry all of these fine citizens will be out on probation soon and back on the corner. Anita will see to that. Bet the farm on it.
Sell stupid somewhere else we are all full up!!!!!
The trend is REALLY turning...for the worst! lol
"The trend is actually turning"...
Let's think about what McPotatoHead is really saying. With all the known facts so far, it is clear that he is correct. The trend IS turning. The violent crime trend was going UP, and now its turning upward EVEN MORE, that is, it's increasing at an exponential rate. That is the natural rate of increase in the wild and in nature; remember, e= 2.71828
His doublespeak cannot hide the Truth any longer.
I've seen three felony DUI (conviction of at least two prior DUIs) offenders that I've put away in the past year, that were all given sentences of three years or more all back on the street with 3 months of hitting IDOC. Prison terms in Illinois are jokes. A litte known secret is that IDOC has the authority to release any inmate after 60 days, no matter the length of the sentence or what he was convicted of.
Is the Supernintendo the "reader" or the "adviser"? Sounds like a game of 3-card Monte aka hide the lady.
Murder smurder, forget about the Homicide numbers, yes I said it, loud and proud HOMICIDE!
I want to hear about the agg batt w firearm numbers. That is the number.

Can we cut this black community crap! Who is the black community and matter of fact who belongs to it? I've been black for going on awhile now and guess what...I know its bs. "The black community" is the connected and known community leaders/ clergy that "represent" the poor and impoverished population of black Chicago. You don't see nearly as many working class, get up and grind it out black people standing in front of the camera with Jesse and his boys because THEY HAVE TO GO TO WORK!!! Stop lumping us in with them. Don't you hate getting lumped in with people that don't represent you? I'm from the south side, I like Harold's Chicken, went to CPS, lean more to the right on social issues, and don't care for Obama or Romney as the next leader..we are not all the same and yes I live in the hood with my wife, two children, I render salutes to old veterans, and I almost cry when TAPS plays. Half of yall would probably still call me ghetto. Cut all that black community crap out.Jesse just marched on Chuck's Gun Shop again. Anyone see the black guy on the bullhorn protesting Jesse and supporting Chuck's? That wasn't me lol just saying stop painting us with this broad brush. Just like you hate it for being called racist for everything you do. Same difference.

So you want time due in 011 on 2nd watch? Time due for PO's and Sgts were denied fot the month of July by the STATION SUPERVISOR!
He is the only one allowed to take a day off anymore!
He leaves the sheet with all the time due denials in his desk. On his day of he calls the Sgt who is Station Supervisor on Saturday and has him call all those who had their time off request denied and notify them of his decision.
These are the type of Lieutenanst and above that are running this department. Or at least they think they are.
Another boss with no BALLS!
Stop lumping us in with them.

I didn't see anyone lumping you in anywhere. In fact, your post supported the other post~and I don't think I would call any officer I worked with 'ghetto', more than I would call a white officer 'hillbilly'. I appreciate the difference between us in a positive way, until I am proved otherwise--black, white or purple.
To all the dickheads that keep talking shit about Leo. GET A LIFE! What ever Leo was, is nothing what I have seen since working with him in 007. I honestly think Leo gives a shit about us blue shirts and is doing the best job possible in that shit hole Englewood. So instead of constantly ripping him, approach him, talk to him. I guarantee you'll change your opinion of him. He knows his shit and is willing to share his knowledge.
Citizens don't give a shit about stats. We could care less about the total number of murders in Chicago. Do we feel safe in the places we live, work and hang out? That is what we care about.
This crime spree isn't shit. Wait till the Red-line goes out to the Gardens. Then there will be a true all out crime assault.

stay off the blog Kenny!!
Hey 09:12:00.
Ask the Area 4 Gun Team ex blue shirts. Leo left them hanging and they got fired. Wasn't the first time P/O's have been screwed and left jobless by Leo's lack of backing them.
Kid, he will leave you hanging. Don't buy what he's selling. Saw it happen twice. Stay away from him!
Now let's see Anita get these assholes some real prison time.
They Can't vote while incarcerated. Anita will have to go back to work at Burger King if she loses this job.
Hold the Pickles Anita !!
