Enter At Your Own Risk
- The Detroit Police Officers Association is warning citizens and out-of-towners that they enter Detroit at their own risk, saying that the "grossly understaffed" and overworked police force cannot adequately protect the public in the increasingly violent city.
“Detroit is America’s most violent city, its homicide rate is the highest in the country and yet the Detroit Police Department is grossly understaffed,” DPOA Attorney Donato Iorio told WWJ over the weekend. “The DPOA believes that there is a war in Detroit, but there should be a war on crime, not a war on its officers.”
Not only that, but they're handing out informational fliers to fans attending playoff games:
Imagine handing these out on Michigan Avenue or near the 018 District tourist areas. Rahm's head would explode.

Hey, guy, hasn't anyone else seen the bright red FOP ad signs on the sides of CTA buses, "HIRE MORE POLICE?" Saw one on Grand Ave. bus. Anyone got a pic for SCC to put up?
Gonna get ugly.
The citizens retort to that very story...
To The Detroit PD: Disband And Go Home
***
Here's the answer I have for the cops: Go home, disband and die of starvation under an overpass in the upcoming Detroit winter. The people will take care of this themselves.
$420 million dollars for cops is more than enough to cover 800,000 people. If it turns out that it's not, for whatever reason, then the simple solution is that cops didn't do their job and the job needs to go back to the people, who should be happy to do it on ther own. For $420 million one time every single citizen in Detroit can be provided a gun and enough ammunition to hole every single gang-banger a dozen times or more.
This act by the cops is nothing other than extortion, exactly as the mob practices. The correct response to extortion by any mob is never to knuckle under to it -- rather it it is to meet force with maximum lawful resistance and make clear that the extorting party will cut that crap out -- and that you are not making a request.
In short the people of Detroit need to take back their 2nd Amendment right and begin carrying firearms openly and everywhere, as the Constitution provides, making clear that the city belongs to them and not to the thugs, irrespective of what particular gang affiliation -- Crips, Bloods, god-knows-whats -- or blue -- the gang happens to be dressed in.
If the cops don't like it then they can quit and the citizens can take over. I suspect the streets will get quiet real fast should they do so, and then the "big lie" of the cop shop will become evident -- they're ineffective, they're overpaid and they're unnecessary.
Enough is enough.

Hard to argue parts of that post when like in Chicago you have homicides rising off the charts and a rumored 20% or less clearance rate on them
The taxpayers are paying a lot of money for after the fact report takers and ticket writers for some corporate parking meter company the politicians sold us out to.
This is an excellent idea
Yeah, good ole Detroit is always good for a scandal or two...
After a female Detroit PD Lieutenant HO blows the Chief, she gets pissed when she finds out he has ANOTHER HO on the side and now she's blowing the whistle on him.

Today, the Chief got fired (they're saying he stepped down).

HAHAHAHA! Good old Detroit. Always good for a laugh!
Holly shit those guys need the national guard. G_d bless our brothers and sisters in Detroit. Be safe over there in Detroit. if the city of Detroit doesn't give a shit then either should you.
i'll do it
Let just do it for fun. Pay some homeless guy 20 bucks to stand on Michigan Ave. And pass out fliers and watch Rahm head exploded. Another wicked ideal let's paint the sidewalk with bodies outlines from North Ave to Superior on Michigan Ave. :)
Ineffective.

Two 17-year-old boys were shot Monday night, one fatally, near a school in the Grand Crossing neighborhood on the South Side, Chicago police said.
The victims, were standing on the sidewalk in the in the 7400 block of South Dorchester Avenue when two men approached at about 8:15 p.m., both pulling guns and opening fire, Officer Hector Alfaro, a police spokesman said who was citing preliminary information.
The shooting happened in the same block as Madison Elementary School.

With all this crime tape CPD is hanging maybe they can trim the "holiday tree" (as rahm calls it ) downtown this year with it.
Oh to be a fly on the wall if that happened here. I think his head exploding is a gross understatement. The Union doesn't have the guts to do this.
Soon.

If that's all it will take, let's get going on printing some up!
Rahm's head would explode.

SCC,
I'd pay good $ to see that.

Hey, why not? It's ... ART!
"Imagine handing these out on Michigan Avenue or near the 018 District tourist areas. Rahm's head would explode
Yea The Flop is right on it!!
The Union doesn't have the guts to do this.
FOP is not a union. It's a collective bargaining unit owned my Rahm and former mayor mummbles.
You don't have to stand in the cold to get your point across. Just post it on Trip Advisor. Chicago - Attractions - Michigan Ave.
Irony: the Detroit portrayed as a dystopian nightmare in the movie "Robocop" would actually be better than the real Detroit.
I was in Miami about 15 years ago, I had an awesome convertable rental, passed my exit and got off to turn around and a white cop pulled me over, asked me where I was from and he told me if I want to keep driving in the area I was in that it was at my own risk, I told him I missed my exit and was trying to get back on the interstate, he told me to follow him
We are too far past the tipping point. Anarchy is inevitable, it is just a matter of which event will set it off.
While the Detroit police have my sympathies, ANYONE who has taken that job, oh, say, in the last 30 years is a moron. That place has been a hellhole since at least the 70's. It'd be like taking a job in Robbins, or Gary or something.
Hey, is Detroit trying to steal our thunder? I thought we had the highest stats for murder and mayhem????
We would be remiss if we didn't adequately inform our citizenry too. Tourists too!
Since Rahm is all about transparency he should have no problem with it.
Try the Lafayette Coney Island hamburger. Outstanding.
Visitors are welcome to Chicago, come on by, stay a spell.
See our " Maggie flower boxes ", ride our wonderful bicycle lanes , gotta watch out for trucks and cars though, but we're building more.
Got a kayak? Good! Rahm is building shelters for them, trust me, they'll be the best money can buy.
Rent a car, take home a souvenir in the form of a $100 ticket graciously provided by the Dept. of REVENUE.
Top off your day by touring our numerous buildings & parks named after the Daley cartel.
See & experience the wonderful night life on Michigan Ave.
Yes sir, the city that works!
if Rahmn's head explodes, who will clean it up?
Cook County is putting forth a sales tax on firearms and munitions. Could be in the 15 to 25% range.
Those signs are badly needed on the mag mile...
"BUSH LEAGUE"! At least it credits those responsible.
Detroit is in a freefall from crime and bankruptcy so they can get away with this. It will be about 20 years before Shitcago gets this way.

The real problem is not with the cops or detectives, but with the politicians and their hack bosses promoted beyond their ability to think and lead. When you come up with idiotic methods because you've demonized the police over the years, this is the result. Handing money over to gang members in Sleaze Fire is as stupid as this new violence tax being proposed.
How about letting the police be the police and using tried and true methods and knocking off this business model bullshit? This isn't a for profit corporation, its' a fucking police department. When they stop putting wonder idiots in crystal ball units, we might see some results. Until then, you'll get more of the same.

At 12:16 am...you are a trolling tool. Grow a set of balls and demand a ride along on a weekend in a working district before you get on here and call us after the fact report takers. And while I support conceal and carry...id be a fool like you to believe we didn't need law enforcement in order to make it work. You sir... are a Moron of mammoth porportions and have wasted enough of my time.
Paper them all over the Metra station, Union Station and all the touristy areas.
Everywhere but the ghetto. They've got so many police assigned to those districts they're tripping over each other.
FOP are you listening?

That's pretty funny. Let the citizens protect themselves from the gangs and criminals. Hahahaha Btw Michigan already has concealed carry. Your plan means letting the gangs openly and completely take over a city. Just like in the movie Escape from New York.
the county now wants to tax guns and ammo. well just like cigaretts people will buy some where else. anything to show the real problem is not the misfits. maybe if some of the citizens would cooperate with the police, that makes too much sense. I got just the answer, a bike path.
Maybe our own union could post such a warning rather then an impotant bill board. But then again, we don't want to upset the mayor. Look at what happened the last time we did that
Imagine handing these out on Michigan Avenue or near the 018 District tourist areas. Rahm's head would explode.
THAT would be funny !
ABCD
ABCD ret
The City may only be 800,000 people, but it's not like Chicago where there are good parts- practically all Detroit is the equivalent of the south side of Chicago (minus the good parts like Mt. Greenwood and Garfield Ridge). Plus, the city used to house over 3 million people so there is a TON of area to cover. To give you an idea, Detroit has approximately 139 square miles and Chicago has about 237 square miles. Detroit has only approximately 2,130 officers, far less than half of what Chicago has. And there have been 261 homicides in Detroit as of September 10, 2012 for only 800,000 people. Let's hope these fliers get them some support.
what does that say "enter chicago at your own risk".
It NEEDS to be done, and would be a nice tie in on Nov 6th outside the polls.
And would the person handing them out here be arrested like the guy Daley arrested for speaking his mind?
Why are we not seeding all these community marches with our own people or at least handing out signs that read SAVE OUR CITY ---HIRE MORE POLICE!!!
Won't be a problem in Chicago. Wew have all shit teams who are going no where fast.
I would glady forego a pay increase on our next contract to personally see Rahm's head explode!
Coming soon to Shitcago!!!
Sounds like thinly veiled extortion to me. "Give us what we want or we don't do our job."
How about "give me what I want or I go find another job?"
Anyone can hand flyers out on Michigan Av. I would imagine there are many that would do it for free within the ranks.
Why involve a poor home less guy to do what anyone of you guys can do.
People tape flyers all over light poles, etc. I see them all the time on State street.
If you ever crossed the international border (Rio Grande) from El Paso, TX into Juarez, Mexico, you might describe it as a mindfuck.
Try taking the Ambassador Bridge or the tunnel beneath the Detroit River from MoTown into Windsor, Ontario, Canada. It's like leaving Hell and going to Heaven. You may as well be on another planet.
Detroit is beyond all hope.
108 post,
Michigan Avenue only goes as far north as Oak Street, you dick.
Mayor expected to paint rosy picture at budget presentation
Preview stressed TIF surplus, job reductions, but not 'a lot of detail,' aldermen say
Mayor Rahm Emanuel plans to offer a good-news budget to City Council on Wednesday that would siphon money from special taxing districts and rely on predictions of an improving economy to balance the books, aldermen said.
"It wasn't a lot of detail," said Ald. Howard Brookins, 21st. "There wasn't a whole lot of: 'This is how we're going to do it.'"
...a promise to hire enough officers to keep up with attrition at the police department.
Even as the mayor and his staff try to paint that positive picture, they reiterated a warning that chronic underfunding of city pensions will catch up to Chicago next year if state law isn't changed.
At a briefing for council committee leaders, Emanuel "said we have to get a handle on the pensions, or this would seem like the good old days next year," Ald. Joe Moore, 49th, said.
If changes aren't made to how taxpayers and public employees pay for pensions, the city will face a $700 million increase in contributions just for police and firefighter retirement funds in 2014, said Laurence Msall, president of the nonpartisan Civic Federation budget watchdog group.
And pension reform isn't the only major issue the city will have to resolve come next year. The city's major labor contracts, for police and firefighters, have expired and are under negotiation.

Lets do it. Right on Mich Ave. Rahmbellina will shit in his tutu. If he's not at the Down Low Bathhouse.
What would it cost to print up 1,000 of these made for Chicago at Kinkos?
Just add, "Pleae Pass This On, Do Not Litter."
and "Fire RAHM! Fire McCARTHY!"
Had to laugh when the news said tax guns and ammo sold in the city and suburbs. Huh? The city?Did i wake up in detroit?
"FOP are you listening?"
The FOP isn't on this site. They're listening here:
1412 W. Washington Blvd.
Chicago, Illinois 60607-1821
Phone: 312-733-7776
Fax: 312-733-1367
http://www.chicagofop.org/contact-us/
Try contacting FOP directly, rather than hope they see it on a blog.
Or you can just sit on your ass & hope someone else does it for you.
ummm since when do criminals buy guns legally? You can get bullets and guns with no tax on many Chicago's finest blocks.
"Rahm's head would explode."
Pop goes the weasel?

Also vote against CA49.
It would cost $80.00 for 1,000 black/white copies of a flyer. Add a color or colors and it would be 59 cents a page.
Donato is right, it will no doubt be here soon. Rham talks about giving inner city people a chance to become police & fire, he's talking about gangbangers etc. His thought process is if you can't beat them join them!!! This was once a great city like Detroit, Cops know why this city is going down . You better listen to us or ammo up!Fight for conceal carry and take the time to learn how to use it!!!!
There should be a billboard on every major highway leading into Chicago with that warning also lso stating that no police service unless you live in the ghetto, or an illegal or a non taxpayer
Watch for Rahm to make a BIIIIGGGG Push in TV ads at the last minute to pass CA49.
Vote PASS or get a 150% Property Tax increase because of those greedy cops and firemen.
Talk to your friends, family and neighbors.
Michigan has concealed carry and people can carry openly. I believe Chicago's murder rate now tops Detroit's, no?
