An Alligator?

  • Spurred by the shooting of an off-duty police officer, a three-month joint investigation of a street gang faction ended this week with eight arrests in Summit and Chicago, along with the confiscation of guns, drugs -- and an alligator.

    After an arrest was made in December's shooting, authorities began an investigation into the Latin Kings gang faction the suspect belonged to, targeting drug sales in Summit and the Chicago Lawn police district on the Southwest Side, according to a CPD news release issued tonight.

    On Thursday warrants were served in both locations, leading to the arrests of eight people on drug or weapons charges, and the seizure of two loaded handguns, quantities of cocaine and cannabis, cash, and an alligator.
This investigation grew out of the December shooting of an off-duty copper in a failed carjacking. Nicely done.

“Most of our problems can be solved. Some of them will take brains, some of them will take patience, and all of them will have to be wrestled with like an alligator in a swamp.”

"I deny the allegations and I deny the 'alligator'."

Chicago Mayor Harold Washington

I'm not sure if Harold was standing in "Alligator Gardens" housing project when he made those statements.

Snappy, snappy! Was it a watch gator for the drug house? The Latin King vermin is encroaching on the NW side neighborhoods. I'd love to see mass deportations of these misfits, but I won't hold my breath in this sanctuary utopia.

Great job by the CPD busting these guys. I think you're worth every penny you've asked for at the bargaining table. However I'm not paying to post that on the Scum-times website.

I got sent on an "alligator in the backyard" call once and sure enough, there was a three foot long one in the yard. I kind of swirled it into a round metal trash can and had the fattest kid who was there watching this circus, sit on the can until animal control arrived. All's well that ends well.

All of you HATERS need to lay off Al Wysinger. You are all jealous because he is a street cop who made good without politics. He is probably the only cop in the city who EARNED his position. He is the only member of Command staff who stands up to McCarthy on a daily basis to protect the patrol officer.

This man is devastated over all of the unwarranted attacks. Please give him a chance to prove to you that he only wants to help the little guy. That is his life's goal! If any of you ever attended CompStat you would see that he constantly defends the CPD way, and sticks up for the Exempts.

If any of you asshat, alligator arm, MF'rs think this is me defending myself, I will never admit it!!!

Big Deal. Back in the day, good Tact guys would get that on routine traffic stops. How much wasted manpower and time did that involve?

My brothers had a alligator in college, the ladies would come over and they told them not to look behind the shower curtain in the bath tub. Of course they looked, and screamed and ran like hell!
Well, the gators name was little bastard, became a big bastard, and was getting to big for the tub. He now lives at a golf corse in the drink of the 13th hole (In Texas) .

It's a shame that it took an officer being shot for the department to FINALLY admit that Latin Kings essentially took over the west end of 008.

They moved in over ten years ago, began buying businesses as fronts to launder their drug money, committed who knows how many morgage frauds buying up houses all over the neighborhood and essentially ran unchecked thanks to every car in 008 being confined to the "boxes" and "hotspots" out east.

Citizens on the west end have been left to the savages.
