Nicely Done

Remember, we're operating with out a contract, but every day someone is running toward the sound of gunfire:
  • Chicago police chased down and arrested a gunman who shot and critically wounded another man on the city's West Side, authorities said.

    The shooting was one of at least four late night shootings occurring across the city.

    Officers saw the unidentified man open fire on the 33-year-old victim at about 10:20 p.m. in the 4300 block of West Madison Street in the West Garfield Park neighborhood, police said, citing early reports.

    The victim, who was struck multiple times in the back and abdomen, was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital in critical condition, police said.

    The officers quickly chased after the gunman finally taking him into custody. Police hadn't determined the motive for the shooting, saying that suspect wasn't cooperating with investigators.

Big surprise there.

And once again, either by accident of by design, the Tribune reveals the crime increase that Rahm and Garry insist isn't really there:

  • As of Sunday, Chicago had 79 more homicides than it did through the same time last year, according to preliminary police statistics. The city has also experienced 177 additional shootings this year.
All crime is down....except killings....and shootings....and car thefts, those are up, too because the insurance companies say so.....and arson....and bank robberies set a new high again the other day...and thefts from buildings, because we wouldn't want to classify those as burglaries.....which are up, too....and the FBI still won't take Chicago stats into their national accounting of crime. Other than that, crime is down.

"The city has also experienced 177 additional shootings this year."

THATS the real number we need to worry about, not just the 77 additonal homicides.

Lets face it, if it wasnt for the good Doc's in an ER like Northwestern, Christ or Cook County, we'd have about 77 out of the 177 dead.

How far will this city tolerate crime which seems a lot and keep in mind .that a homicide here is a drop in the bucket. Compared that those gone are replaced x 10.

Chicago deserves the "leadership" it voted for, both on the local level, and the national level. Chicago slobbered shamelessly for Obama in 2008, and the images of all those idiots in Grant Park on election night is still nauseatingly memorable. And Rahm was a forgone conclusion from day one.
You cops are golden, but are pawns in the big game. Smile and play, or move out. Sorry, but that is the reality of the Chicago Way.

Off topic, but Fusco and Novak, how about doing stories about the cancer clusters at various CFD and CPD facilities?

How about doing stories about the failure of the city to pay legitimate and vetted medical bills for injured POs?

How about doing some stories about the connected dairy (Ed Burke's buddy) that supplies milk for the CPS and under-delivers, overbills and is 2million dollars higher than the next highest bidder.

Fusco and Novak, How about doing stories on the crippled guys who's squad cars hit the old style planter boxes? Or how people can't get decent medical treatment for their injuries because the city sends officers to the lowest bidder. I'd rather pick my doctor than be sent to someone who needs an interpreter to talk with you and has a degree from a medical school that doesn't teach in English.

Until then, you two (Fusco and Novak) suck our collective dicks.

There were rumors that this asshole of a Sgt. was coming to 3rd watch. Let me tell you, he wouldn't last on our watch because if someone pushes us, we push back.

Ya know if we were to shut down the entire police department and then take that money and use it to gamble in the stock market, fund more tax breaks for corporations to create fake part time temporary work jobs,etc.. we could point to a booming economy here!

I means it's a lot of money.

Of course crime would also be exploding but as long as it's in the alley's and not on your block who cares! Look at those stock prices don't look at the crime rates.

Oh wait. We're already doing that.

I'm confused,
Why would they lower the flag?
Did the President order it lowered for this guy?

You just don't lower the flag for any reason you deem appropriate.
Read the U.S. Flag Code.

Plus, I'm offended that McDrunkin allowed this guy to be posted on the wall of fallen officers killed in the line of duty.

He was working as a private contractor (long since retired).

He was not acting in the course of police duties.

I just don't believe that he should be on that honored wall.

Heh... Vilified and joyfully hated by the mayor, the city council, the media, the catered to constituents, the hopey changey yellow-pinkies leading the parade to give this city over to the legion in number non-contributing, murder and mayhem spreading dogs.

Why? For the express purpose of divesting and disenfranchising the remnant of the REAL middle class with the muscle memory of what made this city work in order to reboot it into some sad, sorry-assed utopia.

A utopia for THEM where OUR hard work and the hard work of those who wore these blue suits before us has been made a mockery and rendered meaningless.

Yeah... Po-leece gonna keep on being The Police.

Keep doing what you need to do in order to go home safe and sound.

Don't give less than men like the mayor, superintendent, alderfools and the entire host of joyful haters the satisfaction of wiping false tears for bright lights as REAL MEN give one of their fallen brothers back to good Mother Earth after The Almighty has received his spirit.

No satisfaction for the whores of negotiable affection like Fusco & Novak either.

May they be forced to witness the sight & sound of their hopes, dreams and aspirations dying and rotting to a skeleton before their very eyes.

Just like Policemen are forced to witness what is happening to this city.

Maybe then, they'll have some appreciation of our grief, anger and aggravation...

All for the sake of politics and spite...

*You guys are just so full of anger and hate for no good reason. Why can't you be like us instead?*

No... You can't make us sit down and shut up!

The truth will always be worth telling as long as there is someone willing to listen.

There will be a righteous correction and the doers of much fuckery will see their safeguards, buffers and firewalls collapse while they turn on each other...

Took out officer name who wrote it because not sure he wants to take the heat for pointing this out.

Dean Chavez elected to the Hegewisch Little league
September 11, 2012

At the Little leage elections Dean Chavez was elected as the Vice President in an open meeting. The most amazing part of this story is that Dean Chavez should still be in prison for a brutal beating death of an Off Duty Chicago Police officer.

The more disturbing part of the story is that he was elected by parents who knew of the story and decided he was a better option than his opponent. While his opponent may have rubbed some people the wrong way I am quite sure that he had never deprived a wife and 3 children their Husband and Father as Dean Chavez did.

The Hegewisch Little League has a large percentage of Police Officers' and Firemen's cxhildren as players.

I guess that the "Brotherhood" that we are a part of does not compare to the strength of "Hegewisch drinking buddies".

My follow up to these two stories will be with the FOP and The Little League Organization of America.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel is considering an increase in city taxes on cigarettes and entertainment to help close an anticipated $369 million gap in next year's budget, City Hall sources said Wednesday.

Those tax hikes are among options being discussed by the mayor's top financial aides three weeks before he delivers his budget address....

--------------------------

Well, cancelling Maggie Daley Park would free up $55 million dollars. Clawing back that million dollars from the Cease Fire do-nothings will help a little more. The $91 million dollars being spent on protected bike paths would put the total at $147 million saved if we canceled those projects and stop spending money like we're rolling in the dough.

Hey look at that we're almost halfway there!!!

Seriously. What are we spending money on these luxuries for when we're broke? These things are not going to benefit the majority of the people that live in this city. It's not even close.

Cancel those projects and just reverse a few corporate tax breaks and we're done.

But nope. We pile on the charges on the cities credit cards so to speak and then play the victim. Oh look at all these bills YOU PEOPLE ran up. Guess we'll have to tax you. heh..
