It shows McTool in the background while his boss speaks.Now what does the picture say when it's posted with this headline and paragraph?
- Cops treading water? Emanuel says no
Mayor Rahm Emanuel tried Monday to skin back — or at least clarify — Police Supt. Garry McCarthy’s claim that Chicago Police are “treading water” in the fight against violence after another weekend bloodbath on Chicago streets.
“I talked to Garry about that. That’s not [what he meant]. What he was talking about is a particular area at a particular point. Overall . . . crime is down 9-to-10 percent.
The picture has a tiny little caption saying it was taken back in July, but Fran Spielman does her dirty work for Rahm well. Our initial take just based on the article is that Rahm is removing McJersey's testicles and waving them around for everyone to see. Add the picture and the public castration takes on even more significance.
- After another violent weekend with a concentration of shootings in a single South Side neighborhood, Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Monday said he wants to bring a police crackdown to Greater Grand Crossing.
Nine people were killed and 32 wounded last weekend in Chicago. A third of the homicides and roughly 40 percent of the shootings were in that one neighborhood.
"We now have to deal with what's happening in Grand Crossing over the weekend," Emanuel said at an unrelated news conference.
Emanuel wants a crackdown that involves saturating roughly 16-square-block areas with police, eliminating corner drug markets and having officers stay there to maintain the peace. The mayor has credited the approach with reducing homicides in two of the city's most dangerous areas.
So why even conduct a "nationwide" search for a superintendent, spend months touting his crime fighting skills, publicly and pointedly demonstrate full support for his gutting the specialized units to fulfill your lie about "1,000 more cops on the street" and then turn around and end up personally directing the police to "saturate" a few square miles of an out-of-control populace with what's left of a gutted department? If Rahm is taking the wheel, McLastDays is probably being eased out of the loop.

Crime sure ain't down in 009.
So they now want to saturate an area with teams.
Or maybe they could send some sort of response unit to target a hot area.
Perhaps they can have some sort of mobile force that can strike in these hot zones.
These would all be very new ideas and they should take full credit for implementing them. Democrats are geniuses. The rest of us should be in awe.
(((RING-RING)))
Hello central casting?
Listen, don't you guys have anyone that can follow a script? Send 'em.
My sentiments exactly! And once McWhiteWashTheNumbers goes, who will replace him?
Company Man Al? HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Rams Emanuel is a straight up a liar!!
Crime is down because there are less cops on the street. They arent making arrests like they used to because they are significantly undermanned.
Keep on lying Rahms.. cpd has about 8000 cops right now. Mostly sent to the ghetto neighborhoods rather than protecting the downtown tax payers.
Keep on lying Rahms!!
I was thinking back to what I sensed when I first heard about McCarthy and I was, unfortunately, right -- an alien, an East Coast bureaucrat with a head full of CompStat and "legitimacy" and other socio-politico-psycho-nonsense -- and from what little filters down to me, apparently a dangerous, violent drunk and domestic abuser.
Too much baggage for such a difficult job. Embarrassment. Confusion. Chaos. FAILURE.
Time to go.
God, grant us a good decent family man for a superintendent, one who has not been considered before, a Chicago policeman who came up through the ranks and knows the city and its problems.
on his way back to central casting where he was found by rahms' hollywood brother's found him
Just don't make that MORON WYSINGER the new boss.
Rahm's "World Class City Showcase"
A video Juxtaposition.
This is a test. Can you find any white people and/or the cops in this first video?
Chicago Thugs Terrorizing People on Michigan Ave.
...and here is what the mass media presents.
Cops everywhere. Cops on horseback, cops on street corners. Groups of cops gathered around the wagon. Cops driving by in cruisers. Bicycle cops.
Can you find ANY black people in this video? That's funny because the headline reads "Black Flash Mob" I don't see one. Where? What mob? I don't see a mob.
Oh look...there goes a young couple pushing a baby stroller with their twins in it. Downtown must be so safe. Families are there right?
Heh..wonder if that couple is the same one that almost had his kid kidnapped at the infamous Daley Plaza?
The streets are not crowded at all compared to the first video. I don't think that there is any group above four people in the second video.
Do you think Main Stream Media is presenting a fair representation of the news?
Black Flash Mob of over 50 assaults pedestrians in Chicago - 20 Juveniles, 4 Adults Arrested
Chicago has unique problems that cannot be solved by legislation. The problems are cultural. No law can fight that.
Most of the gang-bangers are killing other gang-bangers. So what? Let 'em.
The homicide rate doesn't affect most of the decent people. Gang banger victims shouldn't be counted in the same homicide rate as "normal" people.
Unfortunately there is sometimes collateral damage. Those are the offenders that must be captured and vociferously prosecuted. When innocents are killed the animals responsible must be punished to the full extent of the law. Regrettably, that no longer includes the death penalty in Illinois.
While I support concealed carry, it won't help stop the gang-bangers killing other gang-bangers. Again, let 'em.

Crime is down 9-10%?
Make sure we get a 9-10% raise in our next contract, then.
...Unless you're lying, Rahm...
McCarthy looks particularly dopey in this photo!
This is just another shining example of Rahm knowing what is best for everyone. Remember last year when he hired Brizzard as the head of the schools?? He wouldn't let the guy take questions for the first few days. The guy just stood there like McCarthy is in that picture. Now he tells us that the "treading water " statement isn't what the Supe meant. Hell, he spoke for the entire city with the Chick-Fil-A debacle. Now he's in charge of manpower deployment because Rahm knows best...about everything. Now be quiet and ignore the gun violence, the downtown wildings, the increase in your taxes, water bill, and city stickers, and the fact that we are on the road to Detroit. Rahm knows best.
Let's get rid of at least one of the two ego manaics. It would save lots of money and 1/2 the embarrassment this city has become.
It is worth more than a thousand words. It is priceless. Garry, who is one patty short of a Bic Mac, looks like a special needs person. That is putting it nicely.
Ha ha ha!
Crackdown with what?
Crackdown on who?
Motherfuckers always hollering for a crackdown.
Rahm wants a crackdown?
People in hell want ice water.
There's nobody left to send and nobody has any help...

Rahm to replace Supt after the Nov Election
Here's a video of all the wilding that's been taking place on Michigan Avenue these last couple of years. Maybe Rahmn can now tackle this:
http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/video.php?v=wshhJn4dZEndqiFCjlb5
Hmm, well, let's see. If a district watch can run without a Captain, or a Lieutenant - I mean, if a Sergeant can handle the whole thing - they why waste money on a Superintendent? Makes sense to me.
The superintendent's purpose is to take the fall.
Those problems are south of 75th. Rahm is giving 003 (grand crossing) a bad name. We can do that on our own.
why shouldn't the entity paying for the police department have some direct say in how it is run? it is silly to suggest any PD can operate independently of the body that pays for it and has ultimate control over it.
Heel we are under water breathing by straws!
Scc,
I find it funny how you keep saying that Garry's days are numbered. This will not happen until he makes a run for Durbin's senate seat. If Garry was fired rahm would be admitting he made a bad choice and we all know his ego wouldn't allow that. The only thing I could possibly see happen is that Garry steps down and I don't see him agreeing to that because his days nationwide would be numbered. We are stuck with him until November 2014.
I'm starting to like McHipwaders, gotta stay dry if your treading water.
Crime is down and I did not have sex with that women, Monica....
Anyone else here McCarthy is begging Channel 2 not to air footage of officers abusing the medical? He was seen viewing the footage in front of 011 district on Friday. Who knows what he and Rahm are doing to try and hide this.
McTool was just on the Don & Roma show yesterday morning talking about how he isn't going to do what they've done in the past which is saturate an area just to have violence pop up somewhere else. He defended this by saying that the local community felt like they were under siege when the police did this and that is when "people had they're civil rights violated." Yes, he said that police were violating people's civil rights by aggressively patrolling these areas. Wasn't he the one who bragged to the media about how he was going to "get in people's waistbands" himself? Whatever happened to the new mobile force that people volunteered for? My guess is that not enough people volunteered to have it be a useful tool. Either way, looks like Rahm is making the decisions when it comes to policing matters.
No matter who is or will be the Superintendent, marching orders come from City Hall. It's in the Richard J. Daley Handbook on how to run a big City.
McWacky and Rahm (it up your ass)both know the scam is over. They know they can't "do more with less". As to Garry's exit, they are both thinking of ways to make his exit not seem like the epic fail it is. They will come up with the usual, "McWacky was offered the opportunity of a lifetime to exit the public sector for a venture in the private sector (security consultant)". It would be a breath of fresh air if both just came clean on this. McWacky: I just can't do this job anymore. I am not being given the manpower necessary for battling this amount crime and I refuse to bend over for this mayor, Goodbye! Rahm: When I interviewed McWacky for this position I was impressed with his east coast credentials and his comstat background. I was mistaken and fooled by the east coast snake oil salesman. I was wrong and I'm sorry. we will move ahead with a new supe to be hired from this dept with additional new hires.
Hey a guy dream can't he?
We should have used a 16 block radius to find a Mayor and super!
God, grant us a good decent family man for a superintendent, one who has not been considered before, a Chicago policeman who came up through the ranks and knows the city and its problems.

I agree, but can you really think of one of our bosses who is competent and not ball-less?
Most are idiots and/or have sold their soul by being a yes man to McHandjob.
The only exempt I can think of is Tom Byrne (chief of det's??). He was the street deputy about 8 years ago who arrived on a fatal traffic accident involving an ODPO. He treated all of the Officers with total class and didn't have the "I'm better than you" attitude. He treated us all with the utmost respect and that's hard to find in our hierarchy. I'd say non- existent....
BE SAFE!
The guy next to McGary looks like the guy from the Picasso incident. . . .
Looks like a "Where's Waldo" picture.

The picture looks like a bag of ducks. Btw who is the Goldstar to the left of rhamo
If McCarthy would speak the truth and punch back at Emanuel's lies he'd be hailed as a hero and receive 150% backing from FURIOUS taxpayers.

Problem with this City and this JOB, Entitlement!!!!
From the Clouted chosen few all the way to the beat copper. Beat coppers have been getting shit on for years, guess what they haven't taken a dime from you, actually they keep giving you more OT opportunities. Stop worrying about what everyone else has and do your job that you are getting well paid for.
To those clouted ones, get your head out of your ass, start doing your job instead of trying to just keep your job. Have some fucking pride, show some balls, and maybe some of those beat coppers will follow your example!
If rahmboy knew as much about policing as he does about being a sneaky back-room deals con-man, all those Amish thugs from Indiana would be well on the way to acting like civilized human beings.
crime aint down in 7, 8, 3, 4, 5, 11 and lots of others. murder everything, shootings every hour, black on white mobs downtown everynight and still we're several police officers short.
Heard that clown McCarthy was at the fop golf outing. Why the hell was he even invited? And how many ass kissers were there licking his balls and taint? If you had any respect for yourself as an officer, you wouldnt be caught anywhere near this sellout off duty, especially after all the comments he has made, all the lies he has told, and his policy of denying time to officers and their families to justify his existence. To hear that officers actually went golfing with this fool is sickening. Un-fking believable.

Have a nice day, sir.
OT A source from City hall states Ram is not happy with his pick of McCarthy but he is very fond of Bob Tracy who also came from New York. Ram is thinking about making the move to Tracy. Tracy is more level headed and does not carry the baggage of McCarthy. He's not a loose cannon like McCarthy. Watch for McCarthy to step down soon for personal reasons and Tracy take over.

>>>Rahm is now directly involved in deciding police policy:<<<
Rahm will now have to approve all time due and furlough requests.
Where is all this money and tourism NATO was suppose to generate? Hmmm
A man can only tread water for so long. Rahm will throw him a rope, suggest that he tie it around his f-ing neck, and then pull.
Now I know why McCarthy looks so clueless. He is the slow, dimwitted guy who watches the parking lot nights at LaVilla Restaurant on north Pulaski. That kid always said he wasngoing to get a day job on the police or fire departments. Ask the 17th District if they notice the resemblence.
I remember the big Maurer operations, 25 tac teams in certain districts 2 and 3rd watch for 3 days. It does have an impact for about 4 days. That "army of occupation" police model while it works, can not be sustained over the long run. Not enough personnel.

black politicians always use race card when an area is flooded with agressive officers from the disbanded units sos,msf & tru.
when assigned to areas in black areas , do not make on view street stops , respond only to radio assignments . gang banger shoots gangbanger , gangbanger shoots at cop and the neighborhood has blinders on . Police hit or shoot someone in self defense and they are out of the wood work like cockroaches with made up stories.
write reports for every crime.
write parking tickets , they think that's racist .

You are a gentleman and a scholar.
You can tell some of the "property, property, property"-owning yuppies have made a bad impression on me over the years. "Not in my backyard" thing.
I wish there were a way to separate out requests for service, prosecutions, etc. but you can't use half the city as it is, it is jungle law there. There are a lot of "decent people" trying to make their way through it all, too. They just don't have the means to get out. You don't hear much from them -- we have had old people die from heat partly because they are afraid to even open their windows where they live. Something will be crawling in right away. I feel that the high crime rate affects everyone.
Without a massive societal change, we will continue to have to try to enforce the law everywhere, not just with diminishing means to do so but with "leaders" of various interest groups actively making things worse. It ain't pretty.
God bless, be safe, and go get a cold one. Labor Day already!
