"We're Doing Better"
- Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy on Monday touted the department's crime-fighting strategies in tamping down the city's murder rate since earlier this year when homicides skyrocketed.
"This is not a zero-sum game. There has to be a recognition that we're doing better," McCarthy told reporters at a news conference at police headquarters. "I can't change what happened in the first quarter. What I can do, is to fix it going forward."
Well, if you want the credit now, then you have to take the blame from before, and even Stevie Wonder could see that disbanding the citywide response units ended up directly affecting the number of killings by a complete lack of response to the mayhem. We used to be able to shut neighborhoods down - not so much anymore.
- By April, homicides had soared 66 percent in Chicago compared with a year earlier, but that rate has been gradually brought down to about an 18 percent increase at this point, McCarthy said.
McCarthy credited the reduction to the city's decision to demolish more vacant buildings, arrest more gang members and focus police attention on individuals who are more likely to commit crimes. In general, the city is seeing less overall crime that it did decades ago, McCarthy said.
Really? Now we're claiming a lack of vacant buildings as a crime fighting tool? Next, are we going to say the weather actually DOES effect the crime rate? Because you wouldn't know it checking today's stats, something like 3 or 4 dead on a Monday when the temps never got above 37 degrees.
And seriously, an 18% increase in the homicide count is nothing to brag about. Who gives a shit if it was at 66% for 3 months this year? Statistics are a long term proposition. We could argue killings are down 400% in the last hour since no one has died via gunfire, but we'd look like idiots.
- "The city is enjoying the lowest crime rate it has had in 30 years," McCarthy said. "We might be in a position where we are leading the nation in crime reduction."
Sure it is. If we set 1,000 fires tonight, we could claim that arson is down tomorrow because we ran out of buildings to burn. This CompStat is so much bullshit and the guy running the calculator is stacking it five stories high.

SCC... you hit it on the head, they eliminated a city wide unit to attack hot spots and take back areas of the city and then replaced it once the shit started hitting the fan with what?? a citywide unit called VRI= Violence reduction Initiative. any idiot could have figured out when the "tamping" began. Right after Rahm and McDope started covering their asses.
SCC,
My neighbors garage was burglarized a couple of weeks ago. He called 911 and was told to call 311 since his garage wasn't attached to his house. Frustrated that the police wouldn't respond, he decided not to call 311. That's a way to kill crime.
Yep, Chicagoan's are enjoying the lowest overall crime in decades. Aren't you enjoying it?
Me thinks the definition of "overall crime" is not what you think it is.
HA!
How can that ass say such trash with a straight face? The only thing that has reduced is the crime reporting!

McCarthy said. "We might be in a position where we are leading the nation in crime reduction."
LMFAO at these a-holes. Yeah then again we "might" not either..
Right out of the Rahm deflection playbook. "we MIGHT be" is not "we are".
Don't look at the over 460 and counting bodies stacking up from the homicides since the first of the year. That's a metric that WE ARE leading the nation in not "might be".
We don't like THAT homicide metric because of the images people conjure up when it's mentioned, it's negative and scary. So we must conjure up a new positive altruistic metric so people will keep shopping!
Reminiscent of the Rahm propaganda on being a leader in job creation. Pay no attention to the Food Stamp caseloads that surpass the number of jobs being created.
Sure we may have created some jobs but the definition of what a job is has lost it's meaning.
A job by historical standards was something that you did 40 hours or more a week that raised your standard of living, provided financial security, health care and insurance benefits for you and your family, weekends and vacation time off. Having a job meant that you were self sufficient. Your job often lead to a lifetime career. Most people conjure up that image when they hear the word job
However, the word job today doesn't mean any of that. Yet they keep trying to promote the propaganda that it does.
Nor should we pay attention to the city being a leader in home foreclosures or the transparency talk that is anything but transparent. The legalization of the pension thefts or being the leader in debt, taxes, fines, and fees.
No-no-no, let's make up more arbitrary metrics whereas we can say we are a leader at something and deceive people into feeling good that we are number one and things are working.
I'm so sick of these political word games being played.
Wow just heard Jim on radio saying we are leading nation in crime reduction
OT:
Jesse J Jackson Jr's stunt is going to cost the taxpayers an est $5 million dollars to redo the election...and he has the balls to demand a disability pension from taxpayers.
He cost us $5 million dollars by playing his game for personal profits. Chances are he'll get a million dollar lobbying job when this all blows over too just like so many other politicians.
Who gives a shit right? We'll just skip another pension contribution to pay for it!
The major flaw in his statement is about a "Zero-sum game". Game theory(The Zero-sum game refered to)is the study of mathematical models of conflict and cooperation between intelligent rational decision-makers.
There is nothing rational, intelligent, or decision making about his tenure as Super, just as the same applies to criminals.
Or, as Mark Twain once said, "there are lies, damn lies, and statistics."
It's ok , it's ok. a little crime no hurt no
One you people need people like me to point
Your little fingers at it's ok, it's ok.
Let us just pry for the lost souls. Amen!
Lowest overall crime rate in 30 years my ass. Go back to the east coast you douche bag!
I will rebuild a new Germany MEin Furher with Lies Big Lies
My girlfriend called me at work. "The first story on the news tonight was about two guys shot at a church. The very next story was about how crime is down. Do people not even pay attention to the news?" News? People here have a hard time with reality!
Hmm. Must be the global warming that causes violent crime to go up.
A decrease in the increase! NYPD here stay safe.

Tell your neighbor to say the offender had a gun like the savages do in the ghetto.
Just because McIdiot keeps saying crime is down diesnt mean its true. Every story on breaking news yesterday involved crimes, shootings, and murders. He's an asswipe.
Can we get a per capita comparison? If 10-15% less people live in Chicago, and crime is down 6%, our per capita crime is not down, just less victims.
...............this is today's double-speak. Same with the CTA no longer "a fare increase" it is "a reduction in the fare discounts".
Clear, concise, transparent - no longer exist.
whose on first Garry?
look at the case reports - we have what 580,000 case reports this year?
weren't there years when we went over the 1Million mark?
Did any one go and give O Conner crap or did we collectively wimp out again?
It fits in the democratic play book, tell the media what you want them to report and they will report it.
Punish the strawbuyer.
That's a total crock. The numbers only reflect arrests. And we are not making arrests like we used to. WHY? Because we are only reactive police now. I used to make 20 or so stops a day. Now I don't even make one. I don't hunt for bad guys anymore. I just respond to calls amd get stupid event numbers. Typical yuppy college crap. It's all good because it says so on paper. Lying bastards!!
So how did the Alderman's show at Taft H.S. do?
O.T. The silence from "Special Prosecutor" Dan Webb in the Daley nephew case is deafening.
Whatever ever happened to HENNY PENNY?
I miss funny goldstar stories...
I think G-Mac may be on to something here. I'm retired in Wisconsin, 200 miles from Chicago. Most of the land here is vacant. My nearest neighbor is half a mile away. Very little crime. Just turn large sections of Chicago into farm land. What about the people living there? Those who can help themselves, will. Those who won't (and we know who they are) may be repatriated.
Well at least he was spared the BT coppers telling him he needs to go into the desk to make the report.
Then the desk telling him he has to go to another district desk cause it didnt happen in THAT district.

One Star
Rahm I know hundreds of police officers who can do a better job than Supe Garmy. Please flush Garmy down the toilet and hire a real Supe!!
Garage burglary gets a police response if the offender may be present. Lets see-- the good, hard working, tax paying people who find themselves victimized once again would need to tell the 911 operator that their garage has been broken into and they don't know if the offender is still inside. Even if they have gone through and made an itemized list of what has been stolen, there is no way of knowing who the offender may be or where he is hiding. He could be someone very, very small or very, very thin lurking alongside their leaf rake. Just to ensure their safety a police officer should respond to search for the offender. "I don't know" goes a long way in the ghetto-- like one of them might have a gun, or I heard them mention a gun, so it's time we start not knowing if the offender is present of if those suspicious people lurking in that car out front are armed or some kind of trained assasin or maybe ninjas. My wife and neighbors have been tutored in the art of the 911 call. I DEMAND police service-- and I expect service better than that of the non-taxpayer(s).
When is the next sgt class?
Citizens of Chicago, your mayor is LYING to you. Your police superintendent is LYING to you. DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!!

And thank you, you stupid moron, for posting all of the specifics here. You'll notice I edited most of your post out when I copied it here. Fool.
I love how EVERYTIME Gary opens his mouth about crime goind down, there is a blood bath.... About the same time he was saying this, there was the shooting at the church... IF GARY WANTS CRIME TO GO DOWN, HE SHOULD JUST KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT
ha, well said. it is unfortunate that there are still idiots out there that believe the shit that mcnumbnuts shovels out there.
Something I learned in a college statistics class:
Liars make numbers and numbers make liars.
"We could argue killings are down 400% in the last hour since no one has died via gunfire, but we'd look like idiots."
You owe me a new keyboard. This one is filled with coffee.
gotta be up to 480 now. Real damn shame. Now these bastards are shooting up churches.
And they have fucked things up so bad very few, of a very thin line, actually wants to pro-active Police.

I've worn out my waders and have to throw them away and buy new ones. Bah Bah Bahhh. The Chicago Sheep, or as we like to call them at work, Sheeple will believe anything they see or read in the Chicago papers or while watching the liberal bias often lying and thwarting the truth mainstream media.
To be fair I believe it was the mayors idea to eliminate the citywide units for his 1000 officers back on the street bullshit. I don't think that was mcdrunkys idea.
G-Murder you sir are pitiful, are you that sold on your own lies? The liquor is fucking you up my friend.. Maybe if you smoked Crack will get the truth out of your ass

Could you re stock the units again? You screwed them over last time, to do it again something would have to be different.
35th st was warned, you can't turn dogs into police but you can turn police into dogs. At first things were good but after you beat up the po's over and over they turned into dogs.
A new unit would have to be run by a legit boss, not some merit hack. The po's would have to respect who they are working for and they need to be treated like adults not compstat statistics.
Probably a better chance of winning the lottery so we will just stick to, there is a decrease in the increase.

Good news is Princess RC got the watch she deserved.
Lies....blah...blah...getting better. NOT!
Here's the deal with McPinocchio's blatant lies:
He doesn't have to live in this shithole city for nearly three decades like those of us that thought we might actually make a "career" out of CPD.
Even those that thought they'd do a "quick 20" to snag a pittance of a pension to supplement other retirement income will have been a prisoner to the city of Chicago an average of FIVE TIMES AS LONG as McDrunky.
You see, Garry has no real skin in the game here. None. Zero. He is here to collect a fat paycheck. And part of collecting (notice i didn't say "earning") that overinflated salary is to do and say what the boss tells you to do and say. Hence his unadulterated bullshit.
And then when he outlives his usefulness, Garry will be made to fall on the sword like all of his predecessors. If he's managed to not piss off the Tiny Dancer too much he may be allowed to leave under the guise of "family issues" or "medical necessity".
Bottom Line: Garry doesn't give a fuck about you, me, Rahm Emanuel, the city of Chicago or its citizens - he cares about Garry. And he's here for two things: a healthy wage and a resume bullet point.
We laughed heartily at all the goofs that stroked McEgo and sung his praises for that Oscar-worthy performance at NATO. You pawns were too starstruck to see that the chess players at the helm of all the mayhem were just moving you twice as fast and with less than adequate thought and preparation in their decisions.
Kinda how the rest of this department is being run on a daily basis.
"Make the lie big, keep it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it".....Adolf Hitler
Too few coppers out there. If you wait 2-3 hours for a report for being robbed or beaten, are you going to wait? Probably not. No ETs for burglaries, so no chance of an arrest and property returned, are you going to wait? No. Reported crime down? You bet.
Will an insurance pay you for your stolen car without a report? Nope. Will that dead gangbanger on your front lawn pick himself up and throw himself in the garbage where he belongs. Nope. The police have to. Reported car thefts and murders the only crime stat up? You betcha.
Is the pack of lies clear to all of you civilians? It is now.
What a JERKOFF!
McNutty, as Rahm's puppet, is clearly delusional.
He obviously believes that the sheeple will buy whatever bullshit he's slinging.
If McNutty truly believes this bullshit then he needs a checkup from the neck up!
what i wanna know is why hasn't the media or even fop for that matter bring up the over 2,100 other people that have been shot this year. and that does included stabbings or blunt instruments ect,ect if it wasn't for the paramedics and doctors who saved these so called victims the homicides would be to the roof and the govenor would have to declare marshall law just to save the city.
HAhahahaha..
YOU DIDN'T WRITE ENOUGH PARKERS LAST NIGHT!! WHY??
Well, this is not a zero sun game.
We could write park-ers for everyone on the block and that will not stop people from parking illegally. They'll just illegally park somewhere else.
Besides if we write more park-ers then overall crime will go up on the Compstat reports IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?? Ha.
Try this logic. I used park-ers but feel free to plug-in anything they're on your azz about. Let us know how it works as it works for central casting boy.
Like how are we going to have a decrease in the increase when you keep pushing for an increase in the decrease? Answer me that jack!
I dont read the sun times but i heard that mcnothing and the gangbanger murder were both on the front page. Kind of look ridiculous telling people we are better off and crime is down when your posted right next to the crime. Only a democrat could believe that one. Too badit wasnt in flaggers church.
Some one tell that lieing sack of shit to say it officially, and then rule 14 his ass.

That's great. I was there on Tuesday and attended the General Meeting. What was going on Monday that brought you down there?
Chicago’s Mayor Emanuel Gives America Some Unneeded Advice
On Friday, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel used the presidential election victory to give himself a nice, big, undeserved pat on the back. Emanuel, in a Washington Post op-ed, declared that America needs to be more like Chicago. And yes, he was serious.
So what if Chicago has $26 billion dollars in unfunded public pension liabilities? So what if Emanuel plans on spending $7 billion MORE in the next 3 years on “Building a New Chicago?” That doesn’t matter to Rahm. To him, that’s the way America should be doing it.
In his op-ed, Mayor Emanuel conveniently forgets to mention the high crime rate, high unemployment and high taxes that seem to be plaguing the city. The combination of all of these problems, along with the feeling that nothing is going to change seem to be very apparent when looking at the decrease in population Chicago has seen in the last decade. If you notice, a lot of the neighborhoods that have seen this exodus from Chicago are the lower income neighborhoods, the kind of neighborhoods that Rahm and his Democrat friends claim to be “helping” so much. I can’t blame it all on Rahm, but he didn’t help it and definitely didn’t do anything different. He just went on with the same policies that his predecessor, Richard Daley, tried and failed with.
So what exactly should Mayor Emanuel be proud of? What kind of example did Chicago set for America? The answers are nothing and none. Mayor Emanuel’s op-ed was meant to do three things. One, to annoy and confuse anyone with common sense and who understands that you can’t keep raising taxes and spending when people are fleeing the city, and you can’t expect people to be okay with massive crime rates and the most restrictive gun laws next to Washington D.C.
Second, to brag to his Democrat friends that Chicago is the epicenter of frivolously spending tax payer dollars. He wants everyone to know that Chicago is making changes and that spending 7 billion more dollars in the next 3 years is the only way it can be done. He wants to make a big statement and prove that his policies work. Unfortunately, the only thing he is going to show us is how to make a broke city more broke. Chicago is already in debt up to it’s eyeballs and Illinois is even in worse trouble. It’s only a matter of time until Chicago becomes Detroit.
Third, and most importantly to Rahm, He wrote the op-ed piece because he wanted to give himself a pat on the back, but he wanted to do it in front of the whole Washington Post audience. The sad thing is, Mayor Emanuel doesn’t realize that what he is doing to Chicago is actually killing it. More debt, crime, and taxes with a dwindling population is never a good thing, and not even Rahm, Obama or the Chicago Democratic machine can cover it up.
Dem-check latest tally: Emmanual lied, McCarthy lied, Holder lied, Barack lied, Rice lied, Hillary lied, Durbin lied,Carney lied, Donolin lied, Clapper lied, Petraeus lied, and finally
Quinn is retarded.
Crime down? Tell that to the next guy that gets stabbed at the Westin.
Same crap is going on in suburbs where I work:
Home Invasions = Trespass
Batteries = no charges mutual combat

You'll be working with best sgt department has to offer in 1720r. Just ask him.
We could drastically reduce the homicide rate in Chicago by simply implementing either Concealed Carry and/or open carry of firearms. FBI statistics over the past 25 years have PROVEN that in cities and states where concealed carry is legal, the instances of shootings and homicides are drastically lower than places where gun ownership is discouraged, like here in Chicago.
Gun-toting criminals are cowards. They prey upon the weak, the defenseless, and the un-armed.
ARM the CITIZENS with guns, and watch the homicide rate in Chicago vaporize very quickly.
Citizens of Chicago, WAKE UP and demand that the City, the County, and the State implement legal carrying of guns in public. 49 states already have concealed carry laws, to reduce crime, leaving Illinois as the lone state that refuses to acknowledge the FBI proof that the legalization of carrying guns by the citizens drastically reduces crime.
As long as the media prints Rahm Emanuel and Mcarthy press releases as the truth and ask for real answers to real questions, it is not going to change.
McDrunk probably never has and certainly never will have to tell a family that there their loved ones have been murdered.
Probably never sat in a courtroom with the family of a murder victim and I bet never gave his personal cell number for e family to call when they just need someone to vent to.
He was never the real police, nor will he ever be.
Is it just me or is everybody else done with this arrogamt fuck McCarthy?

SCC,
My neighbors garage was burglarized a couple of weeks ago. He called 911 and was told to call 311 since his garage wasn't attached to his house. Frustrated that the police wouldn't respond, he decided not to call 311. That's a way to kill crime.
11/27/2012 12:34:00 AM
Vern heard something outside and discovered three individuals were burglarizing his storage shed. He called 9-1-1 and was told there were no cars available immediately but they would be dispatched when possible in a half-hour or so.
Vern hung up and redialed 9-1-1. When the dispatcher answered, he said, "I just called to tell you to disregard my previous call. I just got my gun and shot all three of them." In less than two minutes there were five police cars, two deputy sheriffs, and three state troopers in front of Vern's house.
The three burglars were apprehended and stunned by the police response. The senior police officer on the scene angrily turned to Vern and said, "I thought you said you shot them!"
Vern replied, "I thought there were no cars available."

We could drastically reduce the homicide rate in Chicago by simply implementing either Concealed Carry and/or open carry of firearms. FBI statistics over the past 25 years have PROVEN that in cities and states where concealed carry is legal, the instances of shootings and homicides are drastically lower than places where gun ownership is discouraged, like here in Chicago.
ARM the CITIZENS with guns, and watch the homicide rate in Chicago vaporize very quickly
_________________________________
As much as I agree 100% with citizens being armed and everyone having a right to own and carry a firearm I do not believe it will lower the homicide rate. Most(not all) shootings and homicides in Chicago are gang related.One gang kills another gang and retaliation occurs. Maybe an innocent child or old person gets killed in the crossfire but that would not be prevented if everyone carried a gun. Idiot gang members just shoot with no aim and whoever gets caught in between suffers. Once again agree with Constitutional rights to own and carry a gun and have petitioned for it and am also a member of the NRA. Arming yourself can protect you from being a victim but the homicide rate in this wild west gangbanging city will not drop.

Did any one go and give O Conner crap or did we collectively wimp out again?

Well since you have to ask then you don't know. If you don't know then I guess you weren't there either. I guess you "collectively wimped out" also?

look at the case reports - we have what 580,000 case reports this year?
weren't there years when we went over the 1Million mark?

We never went over the million mark. We just had higher RD's because Vice started at 750,000 and traffic crashes started at 900,00. Now they are just given out in ascending order with no differentiation.
Yeah yeah yeah. It must have been nice "back in the day" kicking down doors and writing it up as hot pursuit etc. Or beating the piss out of the guy til he gave it up, knowing there were know cameras around.

The avrerage law abiding Joe was fine with those days. The hand wringers were not. Tail wagging the dog.
Is the law abiding Joe safer today? I'm guessing not.

Wrong...
Went over a million rd#'s a couple times in the early to mid 90's.
Had a placeholder letter prefix then the new year brought the next in the series.
"Did any one go and give O Conner crap or did we collectively wimp out again?"
Who's "we"?
I must have missed you there...
