500 for Sure Now
- The fatal shooting of a 40-year-old man Thursday night on the West Side appears to have pushed Chicago's 2012 homicide toll to 500, the first time the city has had that many killings in four years.
The slaying came hours after the Chicago Police Department said the city was one homicide away from the 500 mark for the year.
The victim was standing outside a convenience store around 9 p.m. at Augusta Boulevard and Lavergne Avenue in the city's Austin community when he was shot in the head, police said. He was pronounced dead at John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County at 12:18 a.m., a spokesman for the Cook County medical examiner's office said.
So a big congratulations to Rahm Emanuel and Garry McCompStat. You've proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that the number of police officers has a direct correlation to the amount of blood running through the street gutters of Chicago. All your spouting off about "properly utilizing the officers we have" and "highest per capita" statistical nonsense? Bullshit. And sitting idly by while the media and reverends crucify officers and allowing years worth of incompetent "merit" promotions run amok throughout the Department? If it wasn't part of some Grand Plan to destroy the Chicago Police Department, that was the consequence anyway.
Note for next year: An old saying is, "What goes up, must come down." Chances are about even that the rate will fall a bit next year and we fully expect that Laurel and Hardy will take credit for it via some manner - statistical manipulation, new programs, increased hiring, etc. What no one will say is perhaps the shitheads will be running low on targets. After the "Crack Wars" of the 80-90's sorted out the street corners, everyone calmed down a bit.

McBimbo to be on 0600 news announcing a new strategy. He's announced almost as many "new strategies" as homicides it seems!!!! Quick! Can anyone name them all?
500 and 4 days to go. Let's go for 514! And then start off 2013 with a bang-bang!
SCC has been saying for months where the hell is Alderman Sandi Jackson. Finally, at long last, the MSM picked up on the disappearing act that is elected official Sandi Jackson.
She'll be screaming racism any day now.
Relax, it's an increase on the increase.
Stop the violence! Why are so many young black men dying in the streets of Chicago? We need to put more resources into impoverished communities so they can do better. Let us all hope that 2013 will put an end to the senseless gun violence that is so common on the streets of Chicago- President Obama's hometown.
O.T. Recruit Question
Because of the high number of homicides occurring in the south and west sides of Chicago. Does that mean that they are going to send all of the new p.p.o.'s/new officers from the academy to the south and west sides? What are my chances of working in a nice north side district if I am a north sider?
JJ blaming 500 dead on gun stores in the suburbs, not any police strategy.
How many of the dead are due to assault rifles and how many due to handguns?
This is a disgrace and the responsibility is the Mayor Emanuel enough of this bullshit talk by the Superintendent McCarthy is it time to replace him.
Rahm Emanuel is going to have a hard time explaining this increased murder and crime rate if he decides to run for president.
Let's see how he dances around the issue. Perhaps he will throw McCarthy under the bus.
OT--Just reported, 3 (I think Camden) New Jersey police officers shot inside a police station. No word on condition of the officers. Pray.
What about all the money being spent on the VRI overtime initiative. Where is the "bang for the buck" there? They have spent literally millions of dollars to put extra officers in there high crime districts and still we have reached that 500 milestone.
With all the proposals being floated to solve the fiscal cliff situation you never hear a suggestion to strip the cost of living increases from Social Security.
Yet the editorial boards in Chicago want to strip the COLA from pensions
Another year starting with zero raise for many recent CPD retirees while Social Security grants a compounding COLA.
It felt like I was waiting in Times Square for the damn ball to drop.. 500 yaaaayyyyyy Oh yeah, can I have an event num.
We're #1!!! We're #1!! We're #1!!!
How many of these homicides have been "brought to justice" by gary??
I don't recall seeing 500 shooters doing the perp walk. Not even 250 was there? How about 125, was there 125, 50, 25...?
Looking back over the year just how many of these homicides have been solved?
BUT according to Gary on the Channel 9 news this morning the rest of the crime is down for the year. Wonder how many people really believe that.
Maybe the reason that we are down in December is that they are out os Ammo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The homicide number is completely arbitrary. How many people ended the day with more bullet holes in their body than they started with is the true measure of a violent city. Tack on the # of 041a's that didn't die and we're probably over 3000.
I have to disagree with you on one point, SCC. That being the number killed in 2013. Looking at the way things are going, I believe that we will have MORE homicides in 2013. The economy is really going to take a shit this coming year. The animals are showing less and less respect for the police. The moral of the troops is in the toilet. And if the rumors of swiping in and out are true, coppers will be doing even less. And we will have less officers out there. As you are aware, hiring is not keeping up with people leaving the job. Happy New Year!
Bravo Chicago -- T'was a job very well done -- but wait!!! You still have a few days left -- perhaps an argument or five over shoveling snow can bump up the totals to 510 with a stretch goal of 520!!
Gee, New York is way down, but wait, they HIRED police officers.
Also, they did not cut the strength of the force. Not all New Yorkers are dumb, just some of the exports....
The violence doesn't end: Three cops shot in Gloucester Township, New Jersey police station this morning. It all started on 14 Dec. in Newtown, CT.
Please continue to be alert and aware for your safety and that of your fellow officer. Watch the eyes and hands of your adversaries.
Look, is this an increase in the decrease, run for cover all those lies we have been told.
And remember even though there is an increase in the decrease there is a positive decrease in crime. So don't be alarmed, no reason to decrease your increase of spending your hard earned tax dollars.
I am really confused.
Well if you compare the number 500 in todays terms to the number 500 a few years ago. Its actually considered a decrease in the increase. So murders actually went down.
Let me know when we get back to the 900 plus level we had in the early seventies.
500 homicides - 6 victims.
the last thing that will be done is to hire more pos. the public wants bicycle paths, new parks, new hotels for penny. that hotel will hire non union help. dont speak to the devil when he comes around asking what we want, he knows, he likes mind games, ask the teachers.
......oh....and the family of the 500th 'victim' just called the station. They want to know what kind of a prize they won.
Regression to the Mean: statistical theory that when you reach an extreme, the following measures will be more "normal."
In this case, we ARE going to have a increase in the decrease next year
The world lost an old school badass all american yesterday.
Godspeed General Norman Schwarzkopf.
Imagine if CPD had leaders with balls like him.
I think the greatest factor in decided our homicide total for next year will be the weather. We had an extraordinary March that pushed homicides to 50 for the month. I think what slowed homicides in July was the heat. It was just to damn hot to think about anything else other than being hot.
If the lack of precipitation and mild temperatures continues in 2013. Also couple that in with the other factors SCC mentioned, I see no reason why we can't hit 500 again.
For those who were watching
The revrun jesse was spouting off about how the Govt should sue gun makers for the deaths and injuries caused by guns like they sued tobacco
so we should sue auto makers for dui's then?
and or the liqour industry when person
drinks too much ripple and night train and then beats their spouse?
the revrun coviently forgot to mention that it black on black and black on white that involves the shootings
Congrats on hitting 500!!
Groan---
Do you not see, without the sucesses of the Compstat plan, there would be way over 500 murders.. the increase is a decrease... only the blind cannot see that.
Wait for the January blizzard and no homicides to see the PR wagon in full gallop.
Way to go, shitheads, you did it. A real accomplishment. I never doubted you.
Anyone care to estimate how many wounded? Must be in the thousands-----
What is the estimate of total shootings? I have seen numbers from ~2,500 to 15,000.
Man i wonder if 9.asshole planned his trip out of shitcago so he wouldnt have to face the media on this issue. Man if u cant handle the softball shitcago media you might as well quit. Oh yea and the timing of the parking meter rate also hit...even though thats mostly crook daleys fault
small 1 inch by 2 inch hidden blurb about #500 Homicide buried deep on the 13th page of the Rahm-Times. Three or four full pages of positive stories about "Rahm Rolling with the punches"/Year of the Rahm--headline preceding it. Typical Fran Spielman garbage reaming the mayoral pucker.
Highest murder rate in the country + strictest gun ban = "Take it in the alley." Rham Emmanuel (D).
Alright this has been an epic failure, cant we just move on. Hire the next Supe from within, no more outsiders. Chicago animals are really different from NY animals, thats why we need a zoo keeper that knows the grounds and their behavior to be effective. We want a boss who we came up the ranks with, someone that one of us has sat in a patrol car with during the years. He doesnt have to be everyone's friend, the Supe cant be, I understand that, but we want someone whos experinced, not just in general police work but someone who fought these jagoffs with us, someone we laughed with and someone we cried with. Eastcoasters please leave move on sell that comcrap somewhere else. IT DOESNT WORK!
So...that not a good thing, right?
Congratulations Chicago for being 1 of the most violent/dangerous places to live on earth!!!
Its because the police arent wearing the proper uniform is why this is happening. Maybe if they wear their ball caps straight this might stop. This is according to some bosses. Oh wait maybe cause some forgot there name tags maybe thats why all this is happening!
CPD brass you should be fired....You are not ashamed as you are too proud, so I will be ashamed for you. Confucious wrote that "those of us that cannot contribute to a solution, are part of a greater problem."
How come every rank and file cop/detective knows that manpower is the simple solution to this? In the same way how come every rank and file cop/detective knows that lawabiding citizens carring legal handguns will reduce crime.
Hmmmm....Is there some sort of "code of silence" among CPD brass when it comes to asking for more manpower??? or get this...is there some political agenda at work here???
We, the rank and file members have observed the dismemberment of our department in pursuit of the almighty dollar. I have seen the future, and it does not work. Expect the same in 2013 using this same model.

this is not the first cold blooded murder of NJ cop to sadden me. several years ago, my dear friend's family lost Officer Chris Matlosz, who, while sitting in his patrol car was shot point blank in the head. He was engaged. His fiancee still not over it. The family still not over it either. Please be safe. Please. This never should have happened. When dear God is the world going to better protect those who protect us?

Plain and simple, the City needs to hire a lot more Police Officers. Not just the ones they already have hired. Those can't even keep up with retiremnets.
We the taxpayers are supporting a top-heavy shell of an organization which lacks the resources needed to address the crime conditions....every XO position should be immediately eliminated-with a return to career service rank and a spot in the district... Watch Commander should be reinstated with return to accountability and removal of the desk sgt duties from their "tasks"---who the fck thought it made sense to change LT job to consist mainly of Sgt duties--there IS a reason we have a chain of command with increasing responsibility and expectations...if we are lucky the XO will all retire and city will step up hiring so we can get the help we need on the street..
Chances are about even that the rate will fall a bit next year and we fully expect that Laurel and Hardy will take credit for it
Laurel may be here to take credit but beleive me, Hardy will be selling tube sox out of the trunk of his car in Times Square.
According to the story, "Largely contributing to the spike was the unusual number of homicides that occurred during the early part of the year, when the city experienced unseasonable warmth." So, the murder rate in Chicago is obviously due to global warming, not thugs running wild. Call in Al Gore, will ya'?
So how is that gun control working so far in Chicago. How many of the 500 were working people? How many on free handouts,4th and 5th generation? Don't control guns,,control the handouts.
(Ot) Alert to coppers residents in Garfield ridge area! Seems a scrap yard is quietly being built and has permits to be allowed to operate at 6200 W. 51st, I have called ald. Burkes office 773-471-1414 zalewskis office 773-582-4444, stopped by congressman lipinski's office (in the home run inn, center archer/Meade next to athletico) they are all opposed but. The project is moving forward in forest view. So I called commissioner John Daley 773-254-6677, and commissioner Tobolski 708-352-2301 to express opposition. Just what we need,we payhightaxes t have these shit trucks with all the criminal elements coming into the area! More and more taxpayers are fed up , call or stop by your elected idiots office! Wonder who is getting the payoff? It gets better asked guy at the office who is opening this scrap yard? Reply " some Mexican guy," they are opposed and they don't. Know his name! Paid-off again where are the Feds?
Admit you made a big mistake by getting rid of the Mobile strike force. IDIOT
Rahm is Mayor Murder.
Item from New York Daily News (Friday, 12-28-12): "NYC has had 414 murders so far in 2012, down 18.5%,NYPD credits 'stop and frisk' policy." Chicago could do the same but certain factors must be present: 1.)CPD manpower increased to the previous full authorized number(13,500) 2.) a Mayor willing to take the political heat for an aggressive stop and frisk policy (Mayor Michael Bloomberg took a lot of heat from the left wing in his city, such as race-baiting politicians and anti-police activists, but maintained the stop and frisk policy would reduce homicides and ultimately he was proven right)3.) An Office of Professional Standards that does not allow citizen complaints for Stop and Frisk incidents to derail the strategy, when officers are acting in good faith, and 4.) the most important factor: a police force that is willing to carry out stop and frisk activities and sincerely believes the Mayor, Police Chief, and the majority of citizens have their backs and will support them. CPD officers certainly have the street smarts and abilities to make more stops and drug and gun arrests and bring down the homicide rate, but the proper leadership is lacking.
But how many of the victims were involved with gangs? And look at the times of the shootings? Late at night of course.
When can I sign up for the super elite special unit that will be created in 2013? Move back!
The city needs to hire more police officers PERIOD! And all the talk about all the life long house mice moving outside was just BS smoke and mirrors because each and every district has dozens still hiding inside. What a joke!
IT'S ALL THE PILGRIMS FAULT!Where is McVietnam at on this.
Chalkie would like to send a special shout out to the 15 district commander who made this all possible!
When will Chicago realize that disarming law-abiding citizens and hamstringing the police only leads to the Usual Suspects committing their usual crimes?
Maybe if we make murder more illegal and demonize guns some more we can hit 600 next year? Or do we have to not hire more cops for like another 3 years to make that milestone?

Yea Vote Rham for VP in 2016 He kept Shicago safe NOT
McJersey u gone soon before you flush Rahmboooooooooooooooooo's
political sperations for higher office
*****Gary Schenkel for SUPT******
Semper Fi
So how many police did we have 4 years ago? I mean, hate to play devil's advocate but if we are comparing numbers.....
Looking for a wild-ass guestimate of the breakdown on the Murders.
What percent is truly Banger on Banger. What is Crossfire, and what is "other".
It was innevitable they should of just let the count rise so that they can really show the savagery thats going on in chicago. Detroit is starting to look like a great placeformreal estate.
When " Merit" promotions started in 1988 sgt.'s class, it dealt a death blow to the department. 1988 was " unofficial" as the whole class of around 250 lacked" certain" people. It became official in the 1995 Lt.'s class. Always had the Pols but now all the bosses come via the political scene.
Rahm and Obama must be very proud!!! "We're # ! We're# 1"
We're #1! We're #1! Congrats 9.5 and McCompstat! You and the other goons in this City and Department deserve this for all your hard work.
The City is now saying that the 500th murder was only 499 because they reclassified an earlier homicide as a death investigation. Wonder how long the number will stay on "499?" I bet there will be a lot of new "death investigations" between today and Monday night. Imagine what people would say if they knew the real number.
They just retracted the 500 - said a previous homicide was ruled "inconclusive" by the ME, so it is now a "death investigation", instead of a homicide. Interesting how they can just manipulate what a homicide is called, and presto, no longer a homicide. It's a Christmas Miracle!
No. No no. Mr Nathaniel Jackson is alive and well. He is though on vacation in the phillipines and wishes not to be contacted at this times to confirm his aliveness
Nope time to update again scc.... It appears gmac shit a brick at the morning phone conference with all of the commanders and demanded we stay under 500... Then poof, chief of dics offered the supt a case that could be reclassified to a death investigation... So now the dept officially came out and said we are at 499. This was info from a commander who was on the morning call but has now been confirmed via the statement and story by the tribune this afternoon... Yep it's all legit
HAhaha. first "officials" confirm the 500 count and now they deny the 500 count. Perfect! Did you learn that from the counter terrorism team at DHS? I mean how to create confusion and misinterpretations.
Propaganda.
Its already dropping SCC, we are at an almost 50% reduction in homicides for December. Watch for them to spin this one at the next news conference with all those new policies starting to make the difference! Lets hope for a great year end push of about 30 homicides over the next 2 1/2 days. Stay safe all my brothers & sisters in blue & your families/friends, let the beast fend for themselves!
Not yet:
But then the department issued a statement calling reports of the tally inaccurate, saying the number remained at 499. Asked for clarification, a spokeswoman for the superintendent said one of the homicide cases from earlier this week has been reclassified as a death investigation.
HAHAHA...That is awesome. McNumbers strikes again.

Unbelievable...
Both megalomaniacs knew this was coming and ran for the hills. The mayor has his head in a fox hole in Vietnam and Supt has never met a camera he didn't like, until now!
We are #1, yea!!!!
Used to be one of the nations best if not the best police dept. in the US. There are still excellent men/women on the job. The problem is with the politicians and the people they put in position of supervisor and command personnel. I can really feel for the street police, being one for 40yrs.look out for each other and come home safe after your watch.GOD help you in this moron run city.
Shortage of officers??? NO HE (McCompstat) CAN'T ADMIT IT AND HE DOES NOT BELIEVE IT!
In case any missed it here is McCompstat proclamining at the City Club of Chicago that there is no shortage of officers in Chicago.
From McLips to your ears check out the 30:00min mark -
http://blip.tv/city-club-presents-inside-chicago/garry-mccarthy-superintendent-chicago-police-department-5797660
He makes the comparison to NY, Detroit, LA, New Orleans, Newark but are their homicide numbers through the roof like ours?
I think instead of comparing us he should have pointed out the main difference between Chicago and the other major US cities. That difference being the fact that we have McCompstat and his minion Chief (Dick)Tracey leading the way to 500+ homicides for 2012.
I must say he looks comfortable with a microphone in his face. He is probably on his knees talking into Rahm's microphone right now!
Because of the high number of homicides occurring in the south and west sides of Chicago. Does that mean that they are going to send all of the new p.p.o.'s/new officers from the academy to the south and west sides? What are my chances of working in a nice north side district if I am a north sider?

Its not going to happen. Your looking at least 9 years and up to get out of the south side where they will ship you most likely. The 017 district just had openings and the cut off was 9 years. You have to pay your dues. Probaly the first 10 years you will be stuck south .

Crime is the desired condition.
The city you see is the city they want.
Your function is to shut up, pay taxes, and die.
Most people could grasp this, but simply refuse to. They absolutely INSIST upon ascribing good intentions to even the most visibly criminal and defective.
Example -- LOOK AT the Daley Crime Family, for God's sake. One eyebrow straight across. Deformed like the doctor squeezed their outsized heads too hard with the forceps at birth.
The old "criminologists" with their calipers and measuring tapes, the early Daguerrotype & Bertillon photo cards categorizing misfits and killers by skull type, were really onto something and should have been lavishly funded and allowed to develop their work onto a higher plane.
"Gun control?" New York's Sullivan Act laid the groundwork -- was it 1919 or so?
tem from New York Daily News (Friday, 12-28-12): "NYC has had 414 murders so far in 2012, down 18.5%,NYPD credits 'stop and frisk' policy." Chicago could do the same but certain factors must be present: 1.)CPD manpower increased to the previous full authorized number(13,500) 2.) a Mayor willing to take the political heat for an aggressive stop and frisk policy (Mayor Michael Bloomberg took a lot of heat from the left wing in his city, such as race-baiting politicians and anti-police activists, but maintained the stop and frisk policy would reduce homicides and ultimately he was proven right)3.)

Don't forget #5,the most important, get rid of all the dogass, shaky, cry baby coppers afraid of their own shadow.

To the recruit - 024 is still a training district. But unless you are heavy, I wouldn't count on getting there or staying. Your best best is going to 010,011 or 015 that toe the line at the middle.
Homicides in this SHITHOLE is at 519 NOW. Who cares? 500 or 519? Just like Cubs last season. Lost 100 games and next year when they loose 95 games Theodore Epstein will say we improved 5 games from last season. We are coming back. As his useless lapdog JED-whatever his last name is-says stick it in further sir. Can I get you more coffee? Ted Epstine? Jed whomever, McDufuss who cant tell a homicide from a natural cause death and Tiny Dancer with his TUTU and ballerina slippers are raking in LARGE DOLLAR AMOUNTS while workin guys are fucked. But BR Finn dont care. Still workin for SOX. Time to suck off new GM Hahn. Only dick to get time due to do side job. Guess get bosses good tickets and good to go right Det Finne

Residents should be prepared to lose everything that isn't nailed down, even things that are. In 011 they saw air conditioners from their moorings, remove fences, electrical wires, meters, you name it. They'll steal anything and everything, and anyone nearby will be victims. Time to put up the electric fences.

I'm so glad to have moved off of Beat 811. Zalweski is only concerned about going to the riverboat and the rest of politicians could care less about you. Keep voting like a zombie for Zalweski.
03:24 Heres the info you asked for. From Wikopedia, and it sorta shoots down the theory of hiring more po's to stop murders. Here are the totals from the 90's and the 20's when there were 13,000 officers. These stats show that around 2004 or so when the CPD started cutting manpower, murders went down

Because of the high number of homicides occurring in the south and west sides of Chicago. Does that mean that they are going to send all of the new p.p.o.'s/new officers from the academy to the south and west sides? What are my chances of working in a nice north side district if I am a north sider?

Looks like this may change soon too. The League made some concessions, a conference call is set for Saturday, and a season could possibly start by the second-third week of January. Personally, and as a season ticket holder, I'd rather see it cancelled than have a 48 games season, but that's just me.

It's recruits like you that we don't need on this job. The ones that think they are entitled to working a slow district without paying their dues. Buy a four cylinder car and learn to be the real police before you get what you think you are owed. I wish I could see your face the first time you see excrement hit the fan on the southside. You sound like a clout baby.
To Mr OT recruit question
One either you are just a complete idiot, or two you are an idiot troll.
If you are in the academy then you speak volumes of what the shity city of shitcago is hiring. You wanna go to a nice north side dist? Well then don't take the job. You can work at the mcdonalds in 17 of 16 if you wanna complain about what dist you are being sent to.
STFU go work in 004 if you live at Harlem and Touhy you dumbs shit. Ten years ago when we had the manpower you were sent close to home. Now they have no manpower and they send all the cops to shit districts. I was in 020 the other day, they have around 178 officers. When I was there in 1994 they had over 340 in the dist, in that small station on foster and damen.
Too fucking bad you crybaby, go south and STFU. You haven't even graduated and wanna go work north and probably in an office, Monday through Friday, and only 8 hours a day and leave early so you can go get your cafe double soy foam latte. STFU bitch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How about a Sup. who has actually been a Chicago Police Officer and has come up the ranks through hard work and intelligence rather than by clout? Maybe that kind of LEADER could get us out of this mess.
30 of those murdered are in witness protection..lol
Hey, Rahm: How's having the most restrictive gun laws in the country working for you, now?
More gun control? Eat shit and die, motherfucker!
*****Gary Schenkel for SUPT******
yeah right since he's doing such a bang up job at OEMC
Hey this idiot is why cops are chasing the radio all night on stupid jobs
or is this Schenkel blowing his own horn?
beat it Gary you suck
Cline booting you off the CPD was one of the few things Cline got right
To the idiotic disgruntled burn out cops praying for a homicide increase for 2013:
You do know that real people, including robbery victims, domestic victims and those folks in the wrong places at the wrong time are also murder victims do you?
You also know POLICE OFFICERS are often among those victimized as well, and that by this time next year you or one or more of your family members,friends or co workers may not be here because of being murder victims do you?
And how many gangbangers get away with murder every year? MOST of them thanks to de policing, bad detective work or the incompetent cook county criminal court system
If you want to call out the Mayor or Supt find another soap box to do it from innocent people getting killed aint nothing to celebrate
Stop celebrati
Stop the violence! [1)] Why are so many young black men dying in the streets of Chicago? [2)] We need to put more resources into impoverished communities so they can do better. [...]
1) Via free will choices, they are dying.
2) Homie, if more resources haven't worked in fifty years, they won't work now!
Good luck trying to get north, 18 years for 016 bid.

Kid, you're headed to a working district. And that's as it should be. As many of us will attest to to, starting our careers in working districts was the best thing to happen to us. Mine started in early 90's 015. Now that was some recruit trainin for your ass! Listen to well meaning vets (you'll know them when you see them). Keep your mouth shut. And NEVER take this job home with you. Welcome aboard. Good luck. Be safe, & God bless.

Like thats EVER going to happen. The clout starts at Sgt and continues all the way up
Just go in and cry to the head of the academy and maybe he will send you north. While your in the office also requests days. If you dont ask now, I'm sure you will be in the commanders office in a year requesting days and weekends. After all you will have a year on the job

I think the greatest factor in decided our homicide total for next year will be the weather. We had an extraordinary March that pushed homicides to 50 for the month. I think what slowed homicides in July was the heat. It was just to damn hot to think about anything else other than being hot.
If the lack of precipitation and mild temperatures continues in 2013. Also couple that in with the other factors SCC mentioned, I see no reason why we can't hit 500 again.
