Crime is Down...Except for.....

Everyone knows overall crime is down in Chicago, right? The mayor and the superintendent keep telling us so. Never mind the fact that CompStat is built to manipulate crime statistics, that it is being debunked by its very creators in New York City, that Milwaukee is in the middle of a crime counting scandal based on their version of CompStat. All that is just nonsense - if Rahm and McCarthy pretend it doesn't exist, the media lapdogs will cover for them.

So overall crime is down, except for those pesky killings and shootings. You can't easily hide a dead body first of all. And someone with extra holes in them is going to be treated at a hospital, so there's an outside paper trail that has to be explained. So the media will accept rises in these types of crimes, but continue to believe (and tell the public) that crime is down everywhere else.

Then this happens:
  • Chicago is having a banner year for bank robberies.

    As of Dec. 7, the city reported 198 robberies, a 70 percent increase in the past four months, according to BanditTracker Chicago. At this rate, the number likely will cross 200 by year's end and could double the 2011 record of 115.

    It's not clear what's causing the jump, though the feds say hard economic times and the holidays aren't always to blame for the crimes.
Up 70%. Nearly double the 2011 totals, and although not in danger of passing the record of 284 set back in 2006, still on the way to break 200.

But overall crime is down? Ladies and Gents, you're being played. These aren't aberrations - these are the trends. You don't have increases in three major categories of this size without the trend being felt across the board. CompStat is all about the smoke and mirrors. Cutting manpower means boosting response times, making people fed up and them leaving without getting a report. If it doesn't get reported, it never happened. Same thing with the OEMC overtime - calls are through the roof, yet they won't hire anyone but they'll pay OT at the drop of a hat. No patrol officers being hired, no ET's processing scenes, no detectives investigating, it all points to pretty much one conclusion.

    If overall crime is down, McBudweiser should be congratulating the commanders at the FlopStat meetings instead of scolding them.

    The 15 district is leading the city in crime reduction. Just look at the third watch to see the commander's master plan in action. First put up multiple foot posts that don't respond to calls. Then take all of your rapid response cars and put them on bullshit missions so they cannot respond to calls. By reducing the number cars responding to calls you put yourself in a backlog every day. Now the beat cars get overworked and moral goes further in the crapper and the beat cars hold their jobs because, they know if they come clear it will be more jobs. In-progress calls don't get dispatched in time to catch an offender. Victims don't wait for reports. Since there are fewer arrests and reports generated, crime goes down. Except for homicides and Agg. Bats, because officers still respond to those jobs... Oh and then there is the coup de grace: Eliminate day and afternoon positions to create a whole bunch of midnight officers that no longer want to work.

    All the shit that McBullshit pulls and I still can't believe he has not been shown the door. We are so short it is dangerous.

    I called for an E.T.to process a scene and was told they may be able to get to it on the next watch, which was going to be at least 4 hours later. I had this happen to me now on 3 occasions over the last 2 weeks. So I decide to call the E.T.'s Office on the phone and I am told by an unnamed employee that they only had 3 people working on the watch and that I should tell the victim to get a C.R. # on the city for failing to provide Poice service. I appreciated their honesty and told the victim to do so. We are going down hill fast and 9.5 and his puppet keep bullshitting the public.

    If the public really knew how bad it was everybody would be armed. Please be careful out there and wait for backup nothing out there is worth your life.

    Sorry for the rant I just want to stress this because it is the holiday season and we do not need anymore tragedies.

    No doubt about it we are being mislead from the president on down.

    In the WSJ today they are reporting what has been said here on this blog time and time again...

    In Medical Triumph, Homicides Fall Despite Soaring Gun Violence

    Wall Street Journal

    In October 2012, The Wall Street Journal got an inside look at the "ballet of organized chaos" that is a normal shift at the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center Balt. MD> ...

    ""Our experience is we are saving many more people we didn't save even 10 years ago," said C. William Schwab, director of the Firearm and Injury Center at the University of Pennsylvania and the professor of surgery at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania...."

    Check out the entire piece.

    Even with the medical triumphs Chicago's numbers are rising -- so what does that tell you about our policies, procedures and crime!?

    And it's not just crime and homicide numbers we are being played with.

    Washington boasts about 33 consecutive months of job growth from Nov 2007 to Dec 2011, the creation of 5.6 million jobs, as though we have return from the edge.

    Nevertheless over that same time frame the number of people collecting Food Stamps increased nearly by a factor of 4 times the job creation rate, roughly 20 million people. And I ask you how many people entered the workforce over those years? In other words the population growth rate.

    So ask yourself what kind of jobs are we creating if any of it is to be believed.

    Today's BLS job report claimed "Non-farm" payroll gains with much hype. Go to the BLS.GOV site and look at the full report and you'll find that the total number of people in the workforce WENT DOWN!

    The lists and examples goes on and on.

    Taking money out of social security then replacing some of that money with Fannie MAE and Freddy Mac accounting magic bailout money.

    We're even about to take that Fannie Mae bailout money and use it to fund the immigrant green card program for STEM graduates because corporations claim skill shortages to drive wage costs down.

    Ha, I read today in that immigration bill how a single immigrant with an advanced degree creates three jobs. What they don't say is that if the jobs are created here in the USA.

    Challenge EVERYTHING you read, EVERYTHING from these clowns.

    Why you think Preckwrinkle is throwing a hissy fit? Chicago is busting out her budget. Let the illegal immigrants go, let the pot smokers go. All we want is a reason to take there money now -- like the snow tow orders.

    The city doesn't care about being morally right, the safety and security of it's citizens. Many of the beat cops might care. But the clouted ones care about how much money they can shake the citizens down for.

    The recent Code of Silence attempt to cover things up could not be clearer as to the intent.

    Why is it that paper is mandatory for shootings??? I mean don't get me wrong it is fun to see the stats go up and politicians/bosses sweat and panic, but why??

    Any other job a police officer rolls up too if the VICTIM is uncooperative and doesn't want a report, they don't get one. As the saying goes, "no victim, no crime."

    Then there is the God awful stupid fucking notification shit. Everyone will get their damn call, there is no reason to bang the paper car over the air about some stupid gang shooting. NOBODY CARES. The news only reports the bulk of shootings, the details on each gang shooting doesn't even matter anymore, as long as they don't shoot a gang members kid or some shit. Hell the beat cars can be arriving at the scene and some stupid fuck is calling the dispatcher to tell the paper car to call Ops Command, DSS, Desk, Dicks, etc....get fucked. Come out and see for yourself or wait until they are good and ready to let you know what the hell is going on.

    Stats are all lies, and the crime continues to move along at a steady pace. If the NRA/KKK would just stop arming black men and filling the neighborhoods with drugs we would be o.k..

    WSJ: The Fallicy of "Low" or "Declining" Homicide Numbers




    The Wall Street Journal

    U.S. NEWS
    Updated December 8, 2012, 12:12 a.m. ET

    In Medical Triumph, Homicides Fall Despite Soaring Gun Violence
    By GARY FIELDS and CAMERON MCWHIRTER

    BALTIMORE—The number of U.S. homicides has been falling for two decades, but America has become no less violent.

    Crime experts who attribute the drop in killings to better policing or an aging population fail to square the image of a more tranquil nation with this statistic: The reported number of people treated for gunshot attacks from 2001 to 2011 has grown by nearly half.

    "Did everybody become a lousy shot all of a sudden? No," said Jim Pasco, executive director of the National Fraternal Order of Police, a union that represents about 330,000 officers. "The potential for a victim to survive a wound is greater than it was 15 years ago."

    In other words, more people in the U.S. are getting shot, but doctors have gotten better at patching them up. Improved medical care doesn't account for the entire decline in homicides but experts say it is a major factor.

    Emergency-room physicians who treat victims of gunshot and knife attacks say more people survive because of the spread of hospital trauma centers—which specialize in treating severe injuries—the increased use of helicopters to ferry patients, better training of first-responders and lessons gleaned from the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan.

    "Our experience is we are saving many more people we didn't save even 10 years ago," said C. William Schwab, director of the Firearm and Injury Center at the University of Pennsylvania and the professor of surgery at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania...

    Hey wait a minute SCC....Riddle me this " when does a district have 2 Commanders, NO WAIT.... when does a district have 3 Commanders?"................A district has 3 commanders when it has the XO of 019, that being the XO having 2 personalities, hence 2 people in 1.....

    Don't know if that's the reason why but in roll call the day after the incident where 5 people got shot in two separate incidents the commander told the ss that we need cont. cards- wtf, like that is going to change anything. Why is that the standing knee jerk reaction of these bosses to everything? "There's been a shooting- better do a mission! We need contact cards!" So officers waste their time stoping 99% of the citizens who have absolutely nothing to do with the crime, yet are stopped, cited, and inconvenienced all because some merit hack boss needs to justify their existence. And this goes on in every district, on every watch. Pathetic and embarrassing. Hopefully she will take her lackeys with her when she goes- they will not be missed either.

    they are going to wait until the new year, this way they dont have to pay overtime for furloughs missed. and since all being promoted probably wont ask for a first period furlough, they save money. If your going to be promoted , i say take the early furlough and make some extra dough.

    Like the guy said, "By the time you're old as me you'll be so scared of a gun you'll be under or behind something half the time. You shoot me and I will come back to han't you! Mind that gun! MIND, I say!"

    1. Off target, off trigger. Watch your muzzle. Watch your background. Know condition of weapon; be consistent. Pay special attention to reloading and to range drills of clearing malfunctions.

    2. Familiarize yourself. Study manual thoroughly, repeatedly. Strip, clean, reassemble weapon with the book and a cup of coffee by your side. It will come that you can properly name out each part, and understand how they all work together. That is good.

    Enough murders out there without an accident too. Stay safe everyone.

    My Dad was visiting from out of town recently and saw a picture of McJersey in uniform in the newspaper. My elderly father asked, "Why is he wearing a Chicago Police uniform if he was never a cop in Chicago? What is he, a wannabe or something?" I snorted part of a blueberry muffin when he said that.

    The traditional media is bought and paid for with the campaign contribution advertising money. There are hundreds of millions of dollars at risk. Hell you don't want to piss off your customers that are buying the political advertisements!!

    Furthermore if you follow the money trail those campaign contribution dollars come from corporations. You're risking losing your corporate customers too if you happen to out one of their political friends that they funded.

    That money is not enough though. Now these same media outlets putting out the twisted propaganda want us to pay for their slanted content by putting up internet pay walls on their websites? You know what? Go scratch. I'm not going to fund Rahm's media mouthpieces.

    Hey crime is down.

    What bartender beating? I don't see any record of a bartender being beaten. I don't see any record of the ex-mayors relative killing someone down on Rush street either. Ya see any Senators going to jail for misuse of their campaign money? Nope!

    What the heck are you guys talking about?

    Guns were not being run down to Mexico. The investment banks were/are not committing fraud and racketeering with mortgages and the related mortgage investments.

    So I hear that command in 015 has a squad car sit at a fixed post where ever there is a shooting. WOW what a dumbass! Lets think about this one for a second there was just a shooting and we all know realistically these shit heads arent scared of us. What a great target that would be for these shitheads. I sure wish our bosses had common sense, what is it the higher rank the more sense you loose?

    OT- Our new station is finally opening next week. Not only will we have to travel twice as far just to get to the station because of the combining of 12 and 13 but the lock up is not going to be used.
    The message is clear to me that they do not want us to make arrests. If you do make an arrest, it will take you at least 45 mins to an hour just to get to the station. Once you are done processing, you have to transport another distance to the lock up. A simple arrest would take at least 4 hours or more and would take us away from our beats for that amount of time. Don't get me wrong, I am not for doing anymore than I have to, to make the day go by and get home safe, but the message is clear.
    Spend millions of dollars to put in a male and female lock up but use it to gather dust instead of using that money to hire more coppers?
    I am hoping to be there for the tiny Dancer's visit on opening day and ask him in front of the cameras why build a lock up and not use it. Especially since they will be demonstrating the lock up to the public as if it will be functional. In the event I can't be there, anyone else care to raise the question? How about a media troll?

    Hers a suggestion......take our second Commander from 019, I mean our XO......send him to 003 or 007 and he can show us how it's done. He really is a great motivator and is very encouraging of the officers, he's got their back.

    Hey wait a minute SCC....Riddle me this " when does a district have 2 Commanders, NO WAIT.... when does a district have 3 Commanders?"................A district has 3 commanders when it has the XO of 019, that being the XO having 2 personalities, hence 2 people in 1.....

    Does this mean that he could do twice the work and get twice the pay? Hmmmm mm.........

Talk about misuse of our lil manpower we have and you wonder why burglaries and robberies are thru the roof.

    Correction: 015 district WENT TO SHIT with Commander (West) in charge. She successfully took the will to work out of almost everybody there. Tells people to get out of . the car and "put . their hands on people" and "challenge them" when you see them out. Sounds like heartache and a federal lawsuit to me. B-Dub, you gonna buy those coppers a new house when they lose theirs? And for what, when you won't give a mother fucker time off when his wife has a baby or has to go to the E.R., or you give a cop shit when her son comes home from the war to surprise her and tell her not to let it happen again because she didn't ask in advance? Fuck off you career office manager. Not happening!

    I've read it on here before and I was a witness. ALL of Barb's street time was working 1st Watch in 012 from 97 to 99. That's it, all of it; P.O., merit det, merit sgt, merit lt; her only street time was a 1st Watch P.O. for two years in 012 in the 90's. She worked a beat that had a USPS secured fenced parking lot. She had a set of keys to the lot and each night she took a full sized pillow out of her personal car for snoozing in the hole. Put your hands on people? Challenge people? Barb got out of the car for 3 things: lunch, the toilet, and check-off.

    Word from the ivory tire is an audit of an audit is being conducted at all 3 Areas.

    It seems that Auto theft which Detective still investigate... Hard to believe are looked at.

    The reasoning is to have victims recant incidents and close out all the old cases.

    The end of the year numbers will look fabulous once all the cases are closed!

    And burglary to garages will no exist in the future.

    they are going to wait until the new year, this way they dont have to pay overtime for furloughs missed. and since all being promoted probably wont ask for a first period furlough, they save money. If your going to be promoted , i say take the early furlough and make some extra dough.

    12/08/2012 04:47:00 PM

    If you're short on the list and take a 1st period furlough, they will just cancel your furlough and give it to you at a later date. You won't make a dime. The reason they can't do that with a 13th period furlough is that it's the end of the year and they can't give you a furlough at a later date, forcing them to compensate you monetarily. It makes all the sense in the world for the department to wait until after the new year to promote a new class of detectives.

    Keep telling yourself that nonsense to keep your hope alive that someday you'll be made detective by merit. We understand that you weren't smart enough to pass the detective exam so you have to spread lies and rumors to make yourself feel better. You'll just have to continue pretending to be a detective on the tact team. Pookie and Mookie believe that you're a detective with your ripped blue jeans and your backward baseball cap because they watch the same television shows that you do, and that's all that really matters.

    Good idea... used to work in 018 years ago and would visit Pioneer Towing every week. Mistakes made in entering their reports or by victims or by police often led to cars getting on the "Hot Sheet". (Remember those) One month I recovered well over a dozen "stolen cars" mostly from there and comparing addresses and talking to victims ended many reports "…request case be UNDOUNDED."*

    *(Patrol couldn't UNFOUND cases)

    Now if we had as many police officers now as we had then we could drive around the area after taking a Stolen Auto Report and spot the car. That happened a lot. We would find the victim, tell them where their car was and back in those days…
