Be Offensive!

  • Chicago needs a strong early-season surge in police visibility on Michigan Avenue, State Street and the lakefront to reassure visitors and send a message to menacing young thugs bent on causing trouble that it’s not worth the risk, an influential alderman said Tuesday.

    Downtown Ald. Brendan Reilly (42nd) wants the Chicago Police Department to go back to the playbook that has worked the last two years — a blend of foot and bike patrols and a beefed-up CTA detail — to nip downtown mob attacks in the bud before they get out of hand.

    Reilly steered clear of criticizing Mayor Rahm Emanuel or Police Supt. Garry McCarthy three days after an outbreak of wildings on North Michigan Avenue orchestrated on Facebook and Twitter involving 400 young people.

    He simply wants the Police Department to take the offensive instead of playing defense.

You mean...be proactive? But that's what the political set has been beating out of the Department for years, decades even. No political backing for the actions that need to be taken. No statements in the media, who have run wild with negative coverage of the Department non-stop. Paying out lawsuit after lawsuit instead of fighting for actual truth. Police work is necessarily reactive in most cases. Shortshanks and his political apparatus made proactive police work dangerous on all fronts - civilly, criminally, punitively.

Believe it or not, cops aren't stupid. We are very good at telling which way the political wind is blowing and we pick up on the lessons being taught rather quickly.

UPDATE: And how does the aldercreature know that Facebook and Twitter were used to orchestrate the mayhem? McBoisterous said he had no evidence that any social media was used to coordinate the wildings. Once again, a lie is exposed.

Redefining the word coordinating and following it up with a tsunami of PR's that state homicides are down 79% -- as though all the Chicago murderers have been captured and been brought to justice.

Although they did throw in there that this battle is not going to be a straight line, that there will be ups and downs. So they gave themselves an out when the temps hit near 60 degrees this coming weekend.

It's conceivable that the alderman is more in touch with criminal activity in this city than McCarthy is.

*********

SCC, I just sent you an email that should help extinguish any proactive policing fire that might be left in the ranks of the hardheaded and invincible.

For all you knuckleheads that still think it's a good idea to trust dope fiends to be "John Does" on search warrants or to leverage freedom for guns later to be reported as "Found Property", you'd better wake up quick. Tales spun that'd make Dean Koontz and Stephen King envious have a way of coming back to bite you. And hard.

Remember that all things electronic are archived and can be retrieved to stick up your pooper. And to make sure it goes in dry and balls-deep, the Chicago Urban League and your very own employer - the City of Chicago - have teamed-up to hold seminars to show people how to report [what they might perceive as] police misconduct.

You have been warned. Again.

BE PROACTIVE!

Are you fucking HIGH? In the past 5 years, more and more officers have had punitive damages levied against them stemming from bullshit civil lawsuits. And it’s not just one or two. It’s enough to make Patrolmen, Detectives and most of the “smarter” Sergeants realize that Proactive methods of Policing just aint worth it! Why am I going to risk my livelihood, my savings, my kids future, my house, my (assuming it’s still there) pension over some Shithead? Naaaa…

Let’s look at all of the cool training we had for NATO, our Streaming Video’s at Role Call, Use of Force training, and damn near any training the Department has had in the past 5 years. It’s there for OUR training, and the safety of the Department & City. All of that training does is help to indemnify the City and the Department against future lawsuits. “We taught Officer “X” how to do this, Officer “X” didn’t do it the way we showed him!” And guess who gets tossed under the bus? Yep, good Ole’ Officer “X”! I’ll give you a clue: Who came up with, and was responsible for all of the training for NATO? It wasn’t the bookworm Lodding at Education and Training… It was Kirby, the LAWYER for the Department! Do you thing that wasn’t by design?

And WHEN (not IF!) things break bad, who’s going to be there to save your sorry ass? Well if you have a phone call, I hope your call saves your ass. But if you’re one of the un-clouted, the ones that usually end up pushing a Beat Car or working Tact in some Dist, and you get “jammed up”, who comes to save you? The Tact Lt, Watch Commander or District Commander that you made Hundreds of arrests for? Did Search Warrants for? Risked your ass and got guns from Gang-bangers and Bad-guys for? Do you SERIOUSLY think that a Lt. or a Cdr. is going to stick their neck out for YOU? Sure, today when you’re making them look good with that great pinch, they are touting your praises all the way to their office, hoping that your hard work gets them promoted again. The minute Rosenwig and her lap-dogs at IPRA get a hold of you; the “bosses” seem to forget all that YOU have done for them.

Speaking of the Devil, IPRA will go out of their way to find a new method of sticking it in your ass sideways. You are nothing but a trophy for them. Rosenwig is a 110% pure Police Hater! Let’s look at some numbers: How many Police were fired in the past 12 months.
http://www.cityofchicago.org/city/en/depts/cpb/provdrs/police_discipline.html

How many people were arrested for a False Affidavit from IPRA?
[chirp-chirp of the crickets]
Hey Brendan, you want someone to clean up the mess? Call one of the Reverunds, call Phather Phaker, call Jessie Jackson SR (Jr has his own problems), call IPRA, call your old Pimp Daley to solve the problems. They were the ones you pandered to, they were the ones that created the problem. You’re getting what you wanted!

Now that the “Chickens are coming home to roost” and you’re finally realizing that you are getting the Police Force you created, NOW you are all up in arms!

So much bullshit being spewed. When will they start hiring to keep up with attrition? It seems that the Superintendent wants to do things like they do in NYC with his foot patrols and other ideas. However he doesn't seem to want to do the monthly testing and recruiting that the NYPD does. They are always hiring and keeping up with attrition. I suspect that their mayor does give a damn about crime numbers and stats to a higher degree than Rahm and understands that more cops will help keep them in check.

No problem, alderman, just pay me nothing less than time and one half and indemnify me. Your mayor and superintendent have shown that they have the money to protect certain areas of the city, why not yours. Just pay me.
Also, alderman, can you please tell me why the first responders in your "world class" city need to supplement their incomes??? Bring that topic up at your next meeting.

As stated, isn't nearly all police work reactive in nature? How about giving the average citizen the ability and the right to defend themselves? The average joe is the first line of defense. Once one of these street urchins gets popped by someone on the Mag Mile, the wildings stop.

It's also nice how this Aldercreature won't critique Tiny Dancer. Must be hard to do so when ones lips are firmly planted on his ass.

Cook County's malignant gun tax











During an April 1 press conference, Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle explains the new $25-per-gun tax law in Cook County, which went into effect Monday. (WGN-TV)




Steve Chapman

4:22 p.m. CDT, April 1, 2013

As part of continuing efforts by state and local officials to remind law-abiding gun owners that they are repugnant to all decent folks, Cook County today began assessing a new "violence" tax of $25 on every gun sale at suburban stores.

It's a demagogic gesture that has nothing to do with curbing violence. Gangs and other participants in the illegal gun trade are not likely to buy from dealers, since felons are barred from such purchases. And if someone with a clean record wants to buy a pistol to embark on a spree of robberies, the $25 fee isn't likely to deter him. The misnamed violence tax will mostly penalize the non-violent.

Nor is it likely to raise as much money as projected. The chief effect will be to induce customers to make their purchases in neighboring counties that don't impose the tax. Of course, the affected dealers could absorb the tax to keep business. But over time, they will have a strong incentive to leave Cook County to escape the levy.

Customer and stores may go elsewhere. The criminals? They'll stay.

It was all good when it was just on the west and south sides, but now they, the savages are invading your HOODS. Now you want proactive police work.

Please don't make me laugh, there are a ton of good cops out here who would love to lock people up instead of writing a novel for a contact card, a history lesson for a curfew, obtaining an event number for a bs mission.

You idiots created this perfect storm of BULLcrap now you have to live with it. In the early 90's then Mayor Gulliani-sp? told the police, "go out there and be the police clean up the streets and we have your backs". They did back the police and the POLICE cleaned up the streets. Not this crap we have here with tons of bosses who don't know an arrest form, from a vehicle impoundment.

I will sit back and watch Rome burn. Just like they wanted, I will show up to my call and give you a report. I don't have to go to court, I don't get a cr, I don't get sued. Thank you sir have a nice day.

So, today, Mary Schmich's column in the Trib, 'Let's turn down the alarm over loud teens' says everyone is just over reacting, comparing these thugs to Cubs fans. She actually calls them "rowdy groups of young people" and "unruly groups of young people". Okay, who gave her the kool-aid? I guess it wasn't terrible if you weren't a victim of these "young people". I suppose one guy's broken nose will heal, and those who had any personal property taken can have it replaced. But if she thinks this event is normal, a right of spring for the "young people", she is a moron. It was a thug mob terrorizing, battering, and strong arming people, tying up traffic, and wreaking havoc. Someone please take away her kool-aid and give her a strong cup of coffee so she wakes the f--- up.

Since they are mostly juveniles, they are released right back to the custody of a family member (never spending a night in jail) and then in court, NOTHING of substance or consequence will EVER happen to them!

What does "the system" (that Aldercreature Reilly is a part of) teach these "young people" (that CPD Chief James Maurer dared to call "savages")? That they can do this every night and get away with it!

And yes, SCC, if police try to be "pro-active" to prevent these crimes, we WILL be sued civilly, and then, Aldercreature Reilly, Mayor Emanuel, and the CPD brass will say "you're on your own, we TOLD YOU not to violate anyone's civil rights."

Liberal, pathetic, non-thinking citizens of the North Side and the Gold Coast: you have been demanding a "kinder, gentler" police force for years, and NOW YOU HAVE IT. The people that Chief Maurer referred to as "savages" have NOW TAKEN OVER THE CITY STREETS as a result of your stupid social experiment, or rather, War Against the Local Police. Thanks to your stupidity, Liberal Dummies, YOU CREATED a situation where the thugs have taken over, AND you support a court system that will hammer every police officer with punitive damages who dares to be "pro-active."

So Aldercreature Reilly: hire some of your liberal, dummy civilian friends to patrol Michigan Avenue, and let THEM get sued, and then YOU can personally pay for their legal costs and punitive damages.

Wait wait...so they cut the jobs of hundreds of officers and now they want those who remain to increase their visibility and be on the offensive to deter crime? Exactly HOW are they supposed to do that? Chicago's officers are already overworked and underpaid. Alderman Reilly must be able to grant officers the magical ability to be two places at once.

BE PROACTIVE!

Are you fucking HIGH? In the past 5 years, more and more officers have had punitive damages levied against them stemming from bullshit civil lawsuits. And it’s not just one or two. It’s enough to make Patrolmen, Detectives and most of the “smarter” Sergeants realize that Proactive methods of Policing just aint worth it! Why am I going to risk my livelihood, my savings, my kids future, my house, my (assuming it’s still there) pension over some Shithead? Naaaa…

Let’s look at all of the cool training we had for NATO, our Streaming Video’s at Role Call, Use of Force training, and damn near any training the Department has had in the past 5 years. It’s there for OUR training, and the safety of the Department & City. All of that training does is help to indemnify the City and the Department against future lawsuits. “We taught Officer “X” how to do this, Officer “X” didn’t do it the way we showed him!” And guess who gets tossed under the bus? Yep, good Ole’ Officer “X”! I’ll give you a clue: Who came up with, and was responsible for all of the training for NATO? It wasn’t the bookworm Lodding at Education and Training… It was Kirby, the LAWYER for the Department! Do you thing that wasn’t by design?

And WHEN (not IF!) things break bad, who’s going to be there to save your sorry ass? Well if you have a phone call, I hope your call saves your ass. But if you’re one of the un-clouted, the ones that usually end up pushing a Beat Car or working Tact in some Dist, and you get “jammed up”, who comes to save you? The Tact Lt, Watch Commander or District Commander that you made Hundreds of arrests for? Did Search Warrants for? Risked your ass and got guns from Gang-bangers and Bad-guys for? Do you SERIOUSLY think that a Lt. or a Cdr. is going to stick their neck out for YOU? Sure, today when you’re making them look good with that great pinch, they are touting your praises all the way to their office, hoping that your hard work gets them promoted again. The minute Rosenwig and her lap-dogs at IPRA get a hold of you; the “bosses” seem to forget all that YOU have done for them.

Speaking of the Devil, IPRA will go out of their way to find a new method of sticking it in your ass sideways. You are nothing but a trophy for them. Rosenwig is a 110% pure Police Hater! Let’s look at some numbers: How many Police were fired in the past 12 months.
http://www.cityofchicago.org/city/en/depts/cpb/provdrs/police_discipline.html

How many people were arrested for a False Affidavit from IPRA?
[chirp-chirp of the crickets]
Hey Brendan, you want someone to clean up the mess? Call one of the Reverunds, call Phather Phaker, call Jessie Jackson SR (Jr has his own problems), call IPRA, call your old Pimp Daley to solve the problems. They were the ones you pandered to, they were the ones that created the problem. You’re getting what you wanted!

Now that the “Chickens are coming home to roost” and you’re finally realizing that you are getting the Police Force you created, NOW you are all up in arms!

1.2 million dollars a day of federal money for cops to post and sit on every other corner to deter crime. paid time and a half to give only certain neighborhoods 24/7 police protection and service. meanwhile, not a single VRI cop on my beat and rarely a regular cop to be seen because they are patroling the ghetto part of my district I live in. So, the ghetto link and ssi lifers and thugs get 24/7 police protection and the good tax paying non criminal families on my beat get no police service or protection. Thats just wrong!

...like the ones at the law firm that does nothing but sue the city? The ones who employ "Occupy" agitators who seem to generate half of the content on police web logs on some days, trying to scare the police into not touching the mobs of shoplifters and vandals and race rioters who pour into the Loop these days?

Way out in front on the computer screen. Way in the back of the mob in real life, goading the young idiots onward and laughing their ass off when the fools get locked away on "no bond."

How many policemen are so inadequate as to spend all their time off picking up Red jargon and posting on "Occupy" web sites 24/7, trying to sound like big scary Communists?

OT:
On WLS radio yesterday:

Kass & Cohen discussed with another reporter the media whores (my word) that don’t report the news so they don’t anger the mayor and be excluded from press conferences, etc. They also discussed it wasn’t always this way, but has evolved into this coverage of news as reported by the mayor. As a civilian reading SCC, I temper what is said realizing it’s cops venting their frustration. However, I didn’t believe the media was in bed with the mayor to the extent discussed on Kass & Cohen, so please accept my apology for not believing you.

On Conn & Roeper, Ron Majors discussed a luncheon he attended that was planned weeks ago where McCarthy would be the speaker. Majors said: (1) McCarthy expressed disappointment because the Red line and Michigan Avenue overshadowed his news conference about the decline in homicides. Does McCarthy ever drive around Chicago? It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out the temperature has an impact on homicides. Only a blind person couldn’t see there are very few people on the streets in the winter compared to those on the street in the warmer weather. (2) McCarthy also said the mayor had given him a free hand to “depoliticize” the police force so the officers promoted are qualified and not merit choices. (3) That there should be legitimacy. (4) That there are five or six constituencies in Chicago – Michigan Ave, West side, South side, Northwest side, etc. and that each group has a different view of law enforcement. The blacks view the police as the bad guys impeding their quality of life.

Heard part time alderman Reilly on the radio, shilling for cops to be hired back on their days off to protect Michigan Ave, etc... He commented that Officers are already supplementing their incomes on their days of, "some of them hanging drywall", ( I don't know too many of those guys) and wouldn't the Officers' skills be better utilized providing security. No problem, alderman, just pay me nothing less than time and one half and indemnify me. Your mayor and superintendent have shown that they have the money to protect certain areas of the city, why not yours. Just pay me.
Also, alderman, can you please tell me why the first responders in your "world class" city need to supplement their incomes??? Bring that topic up at your next meeting.

Being ARRESTED for a "field interview"...even one gone awry, isn't the issue "detective".

Once you finish investigating that App on your smart phone for the nearest Starbucks location in A/1, maybe you should investigate the issue the board is discussing.

You don't care because the money isn't yours? Either you don't live here or you don't grasp how the system works.
If you live in Chicago, you pay for a city sticker, gasoline tax, you pay sales tax on your food/automobiles/boats/aspirin, you pay real estate taxes and property transfer taxes, bottled water tax, City water and sewage bills, tax on your electric and gas bills, taxes on your cell phone, internet and your cable or dish, fees to park, taxes on your airline tickets...you pay red light tickets, sidewalk replacement assessments, amusement taxes. If you rent, you're not off the hook; you pay your landlord to pay it FOR you.
It sure IS your money. And I know for a fact it's mine, too.
I'd rather see that money going to filling potholes and fixing pensions than I want to see it going to these lawsuit-happy plaintiffs and their attorneys.
