A Happy Ending
- A suspect was shot and critically wounded during a home invasion Wednesday night in the South Side’s Grand Crossing neighborhood.
Police were questioning several people Thursday morning in connection with the crime.
Four or five people broke into a home in the 1400 block of East 73rd Street around 9:45 p.m. Wednesday, police said.
Police News Affairs [...] said one of the suspects was shot in the head, and was taken in critical condition to Stroger Hospital of Cook County. [Police] could not confirm that the homeowner had shot him.
That's because the homeowner didn't shoot him. His accomplices did.
And the story got even better yesterday:
A 16-year-old boy died today, four days after he was accidentally shot during a home invasion authorities say he was involved in.
Douglas Bufford, 16, of the 7200 block of South East End Avenue, was declared dead atJohn H. Stroger Hospitalat 1:55 p.m. today, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.
[...] Earlier, police said between four or five males forced their way into the home and announced a robbery, police said.
One of the group accidentally shot a fellow attacker, 16, in the back of the head, police said.
Hahahahahahahaha! That's fantastic. In fact, it's so funny, we're going to laugh again - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Hey Garry, homicide or no? Because we're charging the accomplices.

Have not seen your figures as to shootings and murders over last week end.
Would not trust the city's figures, so have to rely on you folks.

Many years ago someone used to post here sarcastically under the name of "Matty Cline, ADS for Nepotism". Well this Friday when the the Lt's list comes out the sarcasm will come true. "Gun Magnet" has had his meeting with Sgt Cline and is impressed with him. Phat Phil's son will soon be a meritorious Lt. Say it after me now, "Earned, not given".
When Matty's daddy was a Deputy Chief and subject matter expert for the dic's test, Matty amazingly placed in the top 100. When Matty's daddy was the First Deputy and in charge of the Sgt's test, Matty again amazingly placed in the top 100. Then Matty's daddy got the boot and a brand new G-Man was in charge of the Lt's test. Everyone was afraid the G-Man was legit (HA!) and Matty was forced to join a secret study group run by Capt E. V. Matty couldn't even crack the top half. It's an amazing thing when a genius suddenly becomes stupid. Say it after me now, "Earned, not given".
Well we've come full circle and Sgt Matty obviously inherited Phat Phil's leadership gene, This Friday his greatness will be recognized. As we all know the typical time from Sgt to "merit" Lt to Cmdr is about 6 to 9 months. Say it after me now, "Earned, not given".
So next time you're busting your hump to get that CB# or practicing your ghetto gunfighter scowl in the mirror, remember you are just a pawn in someone else's game. They feed you bullshit about "being the police", "doing the right thing", "having pride in your work", bullshit etcetera, bullshit etcetera. Meanwhile they are passing out big money jobs, big money pensions, and big money retirement jobs. You don't think they really give shit about putting felons in the penitentiary, do you? That's for idiots like you.
Say it after me now, "Lt. Matt Cline, Earned, not given".

This is no secret. Every exempt knows he's going to be made meritoriously.

Female from GEU stripped today. When are you fools gonna learn...lthis job SUCKS!
I went to the wellness meeting at HQ yesterday. This thing did not pass the smell test! I was told that this info was Hippa protected. Its only protect from outside agencies trying to get you information. This makes it much easier for the city to collect all of the data they need under one roof. Because the city pays our most of our medical insurance they will use this data against the employees. We all know that the city could care less about a employees health. There is another angle here and its in the city's favor. Big Big brother Rahm is watching your weight along with many other things about one private life. Its funny how the city scared the sellout unions so fast saying this will keep down the medical cost on employees. No vote taken on this just a few winks by some sellout elected members. But the data will be used down the road tooooo be used against youuu!
As long they keep accidentally killing each other, maybe crime will continue to drop...
AWESOME!
I would love to see this happen more often!
This made my morning while drinking my coffee! [Phart Noise]

We need more gun control, for the kids ya know.
The same thing happened in Lyons a few weeks back - only the POS didn't die. Not every story has a happy ending!
To help offset these thugs medical bill, harvest their body organs for donation.
The sad part is that at 16 years of age, he probably already had 3 kids by 2 baby's mamas.

Looks like The Bird is a The Rat.
I love happy endings :)

Stop your whining. If YOUR father was Superintendent wouldn't you want him to promote you?

When I was on the medical for cancer surgery. I had a phone call from the city's insurance provider. They said that I was one of the four percent of employees that are using 95% of the medical insurance! They wanted me to allow them to send a nurse to my residence to help me change my lifestyle to avoid using so much of the medical resources. I informed them that the only time I was ever on the medical was for a cancer that the most experienced cancer experts didn't know the cause of. I said that I hope the person they would send has a cure for cancer. The lady said yes they do and I hung up!
There will be no charges,accidental injury!!! Home-invasion,murder,aggravated battery,robbery these are real Chicago Values,right Rham?
Dem raciests Police don shot my Babyyyy......
Huh ? it was not the POlice..
Shit there goes my meal ticket.
Fuunereal and car chase info to follow.
That wellness program put in place under the guise of helping you is intended to lay the groundwork for a way to deny you benefits. If you are CFD and have lung damage from eating smoke but smoked cigarettes it would be a basis for denial of benefits. If you hurt your knees from chasing someone or vaulting a fence or wall and are outside the recommended weight - it would be a baiss for denial. It goes on and on...
Which one will Obama identify with this time?
Shooter or "victim / offender" ???
or
will the real victims of the home invasion be sued because the shooting offender / killer tripped on an uneven carpet?
It all plays out in the bad guys favor in the end.
Now I know why they stopped outing the meritorius. Matt will be telling everyone he's legit.

you do not have all of your facts correct. The brand new "g Man" was not in charge of the Lt's test.. as I know it was interim Superintendent Dana Starks at the Lieutenants graduation of the first class off that list... so Phil Cline was Superintendent to administer that test....
Also, I heard that Matt scored 130 on the test, which is a respectable number considering past tests have gone 140-150 off the list.
All the other stuff, it does sound suspect if he makes it.... but I can think of alot worse bosses to work for

7/31/2012 03:30:00 AM
Probably the home owner, had a messy home and they tripped coming in. Insurance co. paying thru the nose. Unless they can blame it on the city.
Not sure how many cops actually read this but I am really worried about a recent situation that has happened. Belmont Cragin is not the worst nor is it the best neighborhood. But after calling 911 because a large group of idiots threatened my family and threw a bottle at the window it took an hour for anyone to show up and not arrest anyone. Not sure how many patrols are out on the street at 2am on a Saturday night but come on, does someone have to get shot for police to show up in an emergency? We feared for our lives yet I see cops sitting at restaurants or standing in front of a goddamn nightclub that's 2 blocks away and not respond to a citizen's distress. I value the service that CPD provides but I think sometimes cops are not responsive enough in situations that may lead to an assault, home invasion or even homicide.
Oh crap -

I wouldn't be surprised to see them sue the city & CPD, for "failing to keep guns off the street."
I couldn't find a Facebook/Myspace page for this dead loser, so can't see pics of him throwing up gang signs, but what do you cops know about him? Which gang was he affiliated with (I'm not even asking if he was in a gang, but rather which one, bc like you said, a 16 y/o who is already in an armed home invasion crew is assuredly in a gang).
It is for the CHILDREN!!!!!!
What most of you will never understand is that if you really mess up, a clouted boss may save you, a tested boss will not.
Clouted bosses can gamble on you because they know they're untouchable. Tested bosses, particularly Lts, are so fearful, so bogged down by senseless department rules, that they often throw their subordinates under the bus even when they don't want to.
I've worked for a number of bosses. The rising star, super testers were by and far the biggest pains in the ass. They knew it all even though they never did it. They were always hindsight perfectionists. When things were messed up, they were the first to say they would have done it differently. When they caused the problem, it was always someone elses fault.
Is clout fair? No. But, I never had any illusions about becoming a Lt. I'm not in the running. But, I just can't stand working for a super smart scared bitch.
For everyone who bitches about FOP guess who doesn't have to go? Time to look at PBPA leadership.

I agree.
But I prefer, a decrease in the decrease, but that's me.
Either way it's more thining of the herd.
OT: Although I hate to write about the FOP with a double entendre ripe header (ooopps, again) like "Happy Ending".
No more chasing secretaries this week, have to lick (ooopps) our wounds after the spanking (ooopps) our Lodge 7 endorsed candidates took at the Illinois State FOP conference.
We got the extension we needed in Marrero vs. Geiger, and we are still looking for an attorney for Marrero vs. FOP. Thank god only a status hearing in FOP vs. Bella this week.
So we have a little time to prepare for negotiations which started today, (damn negotiations getting in the way of endorsing checks to attorneys) and someone's gonna have to do some reading about the Gov's plan for pension reform. We didn't even have on the horizon that because we are so far behind on the golf outing.
Thankfully, no membership meetings until Sept.
We are all about full employment for attorneys, coppers: not so much!
Ta-Ta (ooopps) for now.
OT
CPS and Groupon have joined forces to see that low-income children get school supplies through Kits for Kidz -all they will need for a year. Add a couple of bucks and it comes with a back pack too.
Corporate sponsorship and charitable donations have made these materials available to low income students for a number of years in other cities.
And where did this great idea originate? Kits for Kidz is a program of School Kidz which is a STAPLES company. (It notes it on the box.) You probably saw it on TV last night.
STAPLES IS A COMPANY CREATED BY BAIN CAPITAL. THANK YOU MITT ROMNEY!
I think Matt Cline should be made meritorious Lt. All the good work his dad did and still does for police families should warrant the promotion. Everyone knows merit promotions have nothing to do with how good you are. If the way to say thank you to Phil is promote his son, then so be it. What has Pena's father done for coppers families??
cps honor roll student , future lawyer , doctor ?
product of a single family home ?
future democratic voter in nov ?
I don't notice any mention of "gun control" here - I guess because the perp was done in by his homies rather than his victim.
OT to Anonymous;
"...When Matty's daddy was a Deputy Chief and subject matter expert for the dic's test, Matty amazingly placed in the top 100. "
Was this the reason that last Det Test , Part 2, was postponed for a year to give someone "time on the job" eligibility ???
Hehehehe.

7/31/2012 10:13:00 AM
Here is the issue. First you don't know how jobs are dispatched. See, when you call 911 a person called a "Call taker" takes the call and it is assigned a "Priority" number that determines how important your situation is. Sorry, but on a busy Saturday night someone throwing a bottle at you or your family is not going to be that high of a priority even though you may think it should be.
Second, the officers you speak of that are sitting in restaurants... See much like you at your job we get a half hour lunch and two fifteen minute breaks during which we can take a piss or sit down and take a shit. Some officers may choose to cut their lunch short but they are not required to.
On a side note, next time you or someone bitches about seeing a squad car illegally parked in front of a restaurant, don't get pissed off. The officer may be o e of those that WILL cut his lunch short to rush to a call and may want the convenience of having his squad car close.
Regarding the officers standing in front of a nightclub...those officers may be REQUIRED by their bosses to stand there because the club may be a problem.
Finally, you don't understand that each district is broken down by beats. Neighboring districts do not respond to calls in another district. In other words, a beat car in the 19th district will not be dispatched to a call in the 23rd district no matter what kind of call it is-even if it's a homicide.
So realize much like when you pass by a construction site and see numerous workers standing around, there actually may be a legitimate reason for doing so that you just don't understand
Oh my Pa Pa, to me he was so wonderful,
Oh my Pa Pa, to me he was so good.

7/31/2012 10:13:00 AM
When you called 911, what did you tell them? Was it a crime in progress or the offenders are still on the scene? Dispatchers prioritize calls and a Sunday morning at 2AM, few patrol cars are available. Was a beat car ever dispatched and did the police show up?
"But after calling 911...it took an hour for anyone to show up"
Next time, in order to make it a priority call, tell 911 you saw someone walking by in possession of a Chick Fil A spicy chicken sandwich.
Matt Cline for Merit Lt. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It will be done and forgotten 2 years down the the line.

ah, a teaching moment.
to wit:
"We feared for our lives..."
Q: what caused you to feel this way?
A: "...a large group of idiots threatened my family and threw a bottle at the window..."
Q: and what happened next?
A: "...after calling 911....it took an hour for anyone to show up and not arrest anyone."
Q: arrest anyone for doing what?
"...threatened my family and threw a bottle at the window..."?
because you felt that you were experiencing one of those "...situations that may lead to an assault, home invasion or even homicide."?
because you felt that "...cops sitting at restaurants or standing in front of a goddamn nightclub that's 2 blocks away.....(do) ...not respond to a citizen's distress"? and/or are "...not responsive enough..." to your fears?
Q: "....but come on, does someone have to get shot for police to show up in an emergency?
A: yes.
Q: so, what may we learn from this tale of worry and woe?
A: if you fear for you life, defend yourself.
Chalkie
Good for Matt Cline. I don't know him, but if he is even half the man his dad is he'll be a good lt.
This should happen much more often !!! It's a reduction in the number of criminals out there, future crime stats will be reduced.
Doncha just love it ??? Pookie the Brain Surgeon strikes yet again !!!

It's called lunch and WE DO NOT GET PAID FOR OUR 30 MINUTE LUNCH
So, yes you are going to have to wait.
or standing in front of a goddamn nightclub that's 2 blocks away and not respond to a citizen's distress =
if it's in a "box" then we can't leave that "box". We get punished if we do.
Take that up with McDrunkin.

Sorry, Pal, but you don't get much sympathy from us poor suckers on the south side. At least they showed up. I thought I would shock my friends when I told them that the police never showed up for my call to assist an off-duty po in 022. Come to find out it happens ALL THE TIME. Good luck if you're the asshole praying for help in front of your house on 2211. They ain't coming. Worse, if you get some of the crusty, "15 year heroes", you'll wish they hadn't. Things are tough all over.
Woooohoooooo. Too bad they won't ride the needle.
OT The Pastors from Black Churches have risen , telling Obama , they're no longer in his pocket because he's mulatto.
Black citizens are waking up and Do Not want their children being told by the President that same sex Marriage is Normal .
Now it's time for the Asians , Hispanic , Whites to wake up and Vote Out the person pushing gay&lesbian life style down our throat.
If Democrats want their own children to experiment in same sex life style fine.
Main stream America wants change , do not need to tell us what's right and wrong , no reading the Bible or mentioning God in public schools but in our prisons it's the Right of Felons to read the Bible . They said it in the 1960's ,America will fall from within
It's happening right now .

So what's an assault weapon? Aren't they all? I mean you can assault someone with a single shot cap and ball handgun.
Depends on what your definition of "is" is or how you define residency requirements for a sanctuary city mayor or define violent crime if you're a police superintendent.
We can always add to the list once the foot is in the door.

"cops sitting in restaurants" "cops are not responsive enough" "does someone have to get shot for police to show up"
hmmmm. you need to complain to the mayor about that one, hon. CPD is a few thousand officers short thanks to Rahm's lies about hiring several thousand more officers that got your "do-nothing but try to get himself re-elected" mayor elected.
btw if you want the police to help you, you might consider not bashing cops in general like you just did here on a cop's blog. it's not an individual cop's fault that your situation took one hour for police to arrive. it's Rahm Emmanuel's. yet you found it very easy to characterize individual cops poorly.
that "cop in the restaurant" is the same cop whose job it is to risk his or her life day in day out protecting citizens just like you without giving it a second thought.
from CPD family
Natures way of getting rid of Vermin.
So we have a little time to prepare for negotiations which started today, (damn negotiations getting in the way of endorsing checks to attorneys) and someone's gonna have to do some reading about the Gov's plan for pension reform
It would be funny if it wasn't true. Mike is so preocuppied he and the boys forgot they had a contract meeting with the city. After and hour and a half waiting the city left.

Now that its no longer illegal to take a cop's picture while "on duty", maybe its time to start snapping some pics of just how hard some of them work. Then you can tell me how gard these ppl work.
Oh, and before you remind me that this is a cop's blog, I know this, and I support it wholeheartedly. I just don't appreciate 1/2 the truth being told, by ANYONE, be they the Mayor, or lazy cops who give the rest a bad name.

"But after calling 911...it took an hour for anyone to show up"
Next time, in order to make it a priority call, tell 911 you saw someone walking by in possession of a Chick Fil A spicy chicken sandwich.
7/31/2012 04:20:00 PM
Not just anyone. Tell them its a PILGRIM eating the Chick fil A. McSlapTheWifeInFrontofWrigley will personally show up!
So we have a little time to prepare for negotiations which started today, (damn negotiations getting in the way of endorsing checks to attorneys) and someone's gonna have to do some reading about the Gov's plan for pension reform
It would be funny if it wasn't true. Mike is so preocuppied he and the boys forgot they had a contract meeting with the city. After and hour and a half waiting the city left.

Not sure how many cops actually read this but I am really worried about a recent situation that has happened. Belmont Cragin is not the worst nor is it the best neighborhood. But after calling 911 because a large group of idiots threatened my family and threw a bottle at the window it took an hour for anyone to show up and not arrest anyone. Not sure how many patrols are out on the street at 2am on a Saturday night but come on, does someone have to get shot for police to show up in an emergency? We feared for our lives yet I see cops sitting at restaurants or standing in front of a goddamn nightclub that's 2 blocks away and not respond to a citizen's distress. I value the service that CPD provides but I think sometimes cops are not responsive enough in situations that may lead to an assault, home invasion or even homicide.
7/31/2012 10:13:00 AM
Here is the issue. First you don't know how jobs are dispatched. See, when you call 911 a person called a "Call taker" takes the call and it is assigned a "Priority" number that determines how important your situation is. Sorry, but on a busy Saturday night someone throwing a bottle at you or your family is not going to be that high of a priority even though you may think it should be.
Second, the officers you speak of that are sitting in restaurants... See much like you at your job we get a half hour lunch and two fifteen minute breaks during which we can take a piss or sit down and take a shit. Some officers may choose to cut their lunch short but they are not required to.
On a side note, next time you or someone bitches about seeing a squad car illegally parked in front of a restaurant, don't get pissed off. The officer may be o e of those that WILL cut his lunch short to rush to a call and may want the convenience of having his squad car close.
Regarding the officers standing in front of a nightclub...those officers may be REQUIRED by their bosses to stand there because the club may be a problem.
Finally, you don't understand that each district is broken down by beats. Neighboring districts do not respond to calls in another district. In other words, a beat car in the 19th district will not be dispatched to a call in the 23rd district no matter what kind of call it is-even if it's a homicide.
So realize much like when you pass by a construction site and see numerous workers standing around, there actually may be a legitimate reason for doing so that you just don't understand
7/31/2012 03:48:00 PM
Good post, 0348hrs.
Lest we forget, that 30 minute lunch we 'get' is an UNPAID thirty minutes.
And to clarify district boundaries and radio assignments (19 and 23 have combined, so they're not the best illustration)... If you're being attacked on the northwest corner of Belmont and Pulaski, you are on the wrong side of Belmont for that 025th district car that you can see heading southbound, half a block south of you on Pulaski.
His dispatcher won't even KNOW about your 911 call, so you will wait until a 017th district car comes clear from a job before you get help.

I think Matt Cline should be made meritorious Lt. All the good work his dad did and still does for police families should warrant the promotion. Everyone knows merit promotions have nothing to do with how good you are. If the way to say thank you to Phil is promote his son, then so be it. What has Pena's father done for coppers families??
So daddy starts a charity that he is the paid president of with a take home car and that warrants the kid a merit promotion? That sums up what is wrong with merit promotions in one sentence.
Riots after next us election. Is there a PO in Washington training for this event? drones in the air

you are such a cock teaser.
i think i love you.

Rev. Shackalacka of the new and reformed reformation baptists, is calling for gun makers to offer free of charge to all young black men, kevlar helmets and vests to avoid such racess tragedy. This young man was cut down in his prime by a simple desire to posess what those that work should offer freely to him.
Well we've come full circle and Sgt Matty obviously inherited Phat Phil's leadership gene, This Friday his greatness will be recognized. As we all know the typical time from Sgt to "merit" Lt to Cmdr is about 6 to 9 months. Say it after me now, "Earned, not given".
WOW! A little bitter huh? So if he does get it, it won't be you, right? Haaaaa Haaaaaa That's all you're worried about.
Not that it should happen at anytime of day, but why were you and your family at a restaurant at 2am on a sat and not in bed? How old are your kids? If by family, you mean you and your wife boozed up at a burito house, that's fine, just say so, don't use the word family like you are all sitting down to a fine breakfast at crackerbarrel. Use your head, don't put yourself in a shady situation. Put in a frozen pizza at home.
Another Darwin award, congrats.

Brings back memories, what a beautiful night for a stroll.
Just wasted my time doing this bullshit cannabis bullshit alternative crap. It will take me longer to do this bullshit ANOV crap than an arrest. Now, if sergeants and lieutenants had nutsacks, and actually fucking yelled at and reprimanded dog asses sitting on these jobs we wouldn't be doing this. 1 more working copper done working. Fuck this Mickey Mouse department, I'm headed east. Lat transfer to a place without dumbass states attorneys, dumbass bosses, ghettoes, shit mayors, illegals, the works. See you suckers later. Everyone should lay transfer the fuck out of here.
Did FOP really miss the contract negotiating meeting? I hope you're joking. I guarantee they never miss a steak dinner at Gibsons or Carmine's or Ruth Chris or Maestros or David Burkes?
Just as an FYI. The study group E.V. Had was not a secret one. Anyone could attend and obviously you didn't! I didn't know E.V. However I attended the group dedicated my time to it and scored quite well. Quit your whining!
Down the river is right. This plan is a set up. If you get hurt and do not fit in with the requirements of the wellness program - once you run out your time you will be gone. You can take out your contributions but if you are not vested thats it. Any petition for disability will be nullified by the fact that you failed to comply with the wellness program requirments. This is a direct attack on your benifits. BEWARE!
To 7-31 at 10:13AM...
Listen to police calls some night, like a Saturday night for instance. Hear the dispatcher state they they have a backlog of police calls to be dispatched, and they state that they have no more cars/cops available to respond to these calls. And so there is a backlog, until cars are available to answer the next call on the backlog list, and so on.
The cop sitting in a restaurant is on his/her lunch break. And the cop standing in front of a club is there for a reason..don't make accusations if you do not know the facts. If you voted for rahm emanuel, than you're getting what you voted for..a socialist/communist liar, like his boss oboma. These people lie, they never tell the truth. And so they scheme and they connive, and you the citizen fails to get the protection you require. Get on the phone and demand that rahm emanuel hire enough police to do the job, and don't let them make any excuses. Law abiding taxpayers in this city are being denied sufficient police protection..get rid of the democrat/socialists/communists in Illinois government..demand that the police shortage be corrected, and police hired to do the job.
Fuck this department and our non-acting police..This story isn't isolated and the police hanging out by Damen and Milwaukee know what we're talking about... keep looking coo on front of those bar flies and remember your long haired, combed back hair ass when you have to drive thru the west side and you get dealt wit!! Print this SCC...this is your department now..never mind the BS bosses...

You can also thank this Mayor, and the last one, for our Sanctuary City status that makes Chicago a magnet for the illegals that ruined Belmont and Craigan.
Illegals, by their very nature, do not consider abiding by the law - any law. The Eastern European trash, the Mexican trash and the trash from all over the world have decided Belmont Craigan is as good a place as any to crash. Hell, Chicago even built two new schools for them. Future Democrats and drains on society.
Belmont Craigan used to be a GREAT neighborhood. Used to be.
A troller: This is the kind of story that should ALSO be making national news highlighting the street violence in Chicago. It demonstrates precisely how stupid these mutts are. And it also brings out a good laugh among the rest of us. You made your momma proud Doug Dog. She got most of what she could get from you.
I am so close to the end I don't give a hoot about merit promotions, assignments or contract negotiations. Fuck it all, promote nothing but clout bitches, assign people who are good at oral sex, promote nothing but relatives. Remember when SOS meant Sons of Supervisors? I don't care anymore. Just that first pension check. That is all that matters. Fuck this place. Sorry boys and girls, it's all yours.

so, daley stalled for years, yet you're getting your panties in a bunch over this?
save your prayers for something that really matters.
I see the units parked in the far, dark corners of malls near me on a nightly basis - the PO's doing nothing but reading the paper/napping/BS'ing...
Again, this is NIGHTLY. Usually always the Tahoes, but once in a while a car...
Now that its no longer illegal to take a cop's picture while "on duty", maybe its time to start snapping some pics of just how hard some of them work. Then you can tell me how gard these ppl work.

then become a not lazy cop and show us how it's done.
oh, that's right, you can't pass the piss test.
But the data will be used down the road tooooo be used against youuu!
Then lose weight. Get off the bar stool and exercise.
Where is the problem in this? This is something that is totally under each officer's control. And, the real benefit is you get healthy and maybe live to cash a few extra pension checks.

Oh yes, I can guess this was written by some hard working PRIVATE SECTOR guy/gal who NEVER strays from the path.
I wonder what you do for a living? Does your job require you to wear a gun that could be used to end a life? Does your job involve having to listen to people who just won't take responsibility for their own lives or for the lives of their offspring?
Ya, ya....I can hear it now....."That's part of the job!"
You get a lunch hour. We get 1/2 hour. Can your boss interrupt your lunch for job related matters? Does your boss flat out deny you your lunch time?
Of course you will say, "You knew that before you got the job."
I know, as a tax paying citizen, you are upset when ever you see a police vehicle parked somewhere. You think they are goofing off. But you have to remember, we do not have an office to go to like you most likely have. Our car IS our office. So maybe some of those cars you see parked at the far end of a dark lot have officers in them that are trying to complete reports from previous jobs. And they are probably at the far end of the lot so they don't get disturbed by assholes like yourself who would walk up to the vehicle and try and engage them in conversation.
Oh, and BTW....cops are tax payers too.
Oh, and feel free to take as many pictures of me while I am on duty. Just don't become upset when one of my colleagues shows up to answer a call of a suspicious person standing in a dark, empty lot taking photos.
I have 6 years to go and when the time comes I will enjoy watching this city fade from view in my rear view mirror. Not having to deal with un-informed assholes like yourself will be a new experience.
It will take me longer to do this bullshit ANOV crap than an arrest.
I know, I know.
Filling out that ANOV takes, what......5 mins.
Typing your name and star number in BOX 2 of the other teams arrest takes, what, 5 sec.
Whats going on here? Why didn't these kids take their stuff to the alley like the Winnetka 9.5 OG told them too. I'm Sure all weapons involved were obtained legally too.

At a town hall meeting attended by police officials from the 16th Dist and a couple of aldermen whose wards encompass part of the district, it came out that in the last three years alone, the 16th Dist has lost approx 44% of it's assigned officers (350 down to 197). The aldermen stated that there is nothing the city council can do to rectify this situation, so we just have to deal with it. You just got you first lesson in dealing with it.
For reference:

"I went to the wellness meeting at HQ yesterday. This thing did not pass the smell test! I was told that this info was Hippa protected. Its only protect from outside agencies trying to get you information. This makes it much easier for the city to collect all of the data they need under one roof. Because the city pays our most of our medical insurance they will use this data against the employees. We all know that the city could care less about a employees health. There is another angle here and its in the city's favor. Big Big brother Rahm is watching your weight along with many other things about one private life. Its funny how the city scared the sellout unions so fast saying this will keep down the medical cost on employees. No vote taken on this just a few winks by some sellout elected members. But the data will be used down the road tooooo be used against youuu!"
When the state has an interest in your health, the state's gonna get interested in your health. ObamaCare, with its cadres of sophisticated experts is going to make city wellness programs look like child's play.
I am IRATE over some of these comments. Are you commenters telling us that the officers aren't allowed to eat lunch? Go to the bathroom? Are you effing kidding me? How many hours do you waste at your job playing on your pc in your cubicle? Asshole. Shut the eff up and get a "real" job and see how you handle things. Pussy.

...if you want the police to help you, you might consider not bashing cops in general like you just did here on a cop's blog. it's not an individual cop's fault that your situation took one hour for police to arrive. it's Rahm Emmanuel's. yet you found it very easy to characterize individual cops poorly...

You see the Officer sitting & reading, napping or bs'ing in the same spot every night. Do you know if the Officer is on lunch or break? You automatically jump to conclusions that the Officer is lazy. Maybe the Officer uses his/her lunchtime to nap or read....that's his/her choice. Maybe the Officer is finishing up a report from earlier but was too busy answering calls & waited for the night to slow down a bit. Maybe that location is a special attention on his/her beat. Maybe his/her presence is impacting the narcotics & prostitution problem in that area.
It is wrong for you to assume that the Cop is just lazy & not working hard.
Go ahead and snap that picture or video. Although it's not illegal, you'll find yourself on the other end of a lawsuit for defamation of character it your facts are slanderous.
"...does someone have to get shot for police to show up in an emergency?"
Yes
"We feared for our lives yet I see cops sitting at restaurants or standing in front of a goddamn nightclub that's 2 blocks away and not respond to a citizen's distress.

Can't go to a job that hasn't been dispatched. Did you see any of us in a restaurant or in front of a club after you called?

There are "aggravating factors", test kits, still an inventory, non suits for negative tests, it's the most dumbshitted idea. Now, I'm sure that someone as great and almighty as you all ready knew that though. Go back to the tavern telling other people's stories.
