Crime Down - Again!
- There was a 13 percent dip in overall crime and 3,000 fewer illegal weapons on the streets of Chicago this year, announced Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy on Monday.
“We’re having a good year in comparison to where we’ve been in the past in this city,” said McCarthy at the Harrison district headquarters, behind two tables of handguns, assault rifles and other recently confiscated weapons. “We have a historical gun violence problem here, and right now we’re making real progress.”
He also goes on his regular anti-gun screed, not even nodding to the recent legislation in Springfield that should bring concealed carry to Illinois shortly, complete with gun props dragged to the press conference and some politicians, too. No word on how many of these guns might be returned to owners after constitutional challenges.

WOW 13% reduction in crime for each of the past 12 months.....lets see, is that 156% reduction? (using Rahm calculator)
Is the crime down? Or is it that officers are being being forced to work on limited resources. Less representation by the city, fop, court, etc... no contract, horrible training, shortage of qualified officers, no or broken equipment, unqualified bosses... Please do not think for a moment that shit heads don't know, they know. Can't blame coppers for not doing proactive police work anymore. 9.5 and macpuppet have made a bad situation even worse. Attitude of officers are terrible and for a good reason. Cutting furlo additions, denying rightfully gained comp time, rumors of no retro check, and the list goes on... It will take more than a new mayor and supt to change things around.
Lets see......if no guns are confiscated does that mean there are no guns "on the street?"
Did he shoot his mouth off before or after the 9 people got shot in 2 hours?
seems like every fucking time he speaks, people die!
New crime strategy: Operation Gary, STFU!
"...and 3,000 fewer illegal weapons on the streets of Chicago this year, announced Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy on Monday."
There goes Garry's Wet Brain again...
drowning the synchronicity of fact and truth in '3510 Proof Kool-Aid'.
Reality: There weren't '3,000 fewer illegal weapons on the streets of Chicago this year', you Fully Krausened imbecile. If there's any truth in that number, it's that maybe there were 3,000 fewer [illegal] weapons REMOVED from the streets of Chicago this year. As in "the police ain't trying so hard no more".
And would now be a bad time to mention how the word "weapons" implies more than just guns? That maybe Fort Fellatio is trying to be less-than-truthful (SHOCKING!!) regarding the actual year-to-year difference in number of FIREARMS recovered? (the CPD Circus and Gold Star Clowns taught me how to read between the lines early on).
“We have a historical gun violence problem here, and right now we’re making real progress.”
Uhhh, the five Folks (or is they People) from the 5700 block of S. Sangamon that recently became unwitting blood donors would probably beg to differ.
You're the epitome of CPD's "Epic Fail" moments, Garry.
OT. Just Announced.
William Daley has officially announced his intention to topple Governor Potato Head and become Governor Melon Head, which means he wants to continue the criminal enterprise known as the Daley Crime Family. I pray he is unsuccessful.
There was one really nice revolver. They should sell the decent guns to normal people and put the money in our pension fund.
Crime is down because PEOPLE ARE LEAVING CHICAGO!! We also are down several thousand coppers so of course less arrests will be made.
Ask anyone who still lives in the city if they feel crime is down and they will tell you NO.
This "crime is down" thing is absolutely a lie told by Garry MCCarthy and Rahm Emanuel.
lmao...i was there for the set up
1. same guns used as previous smoke and mirrors broadcasts
2.ahh 011 never changes.."someone" left a pitcher of kool-aid and cups on the table for the media and guest..and yes we have pics to prove it..
If you give criminals FOID cards, with CCW, the weapons are no longer illegal. Instant crime reduction.
There's a thought.
Brilliant. McCarthy learned to do math from the Obama administration -- since clearly none of those seized guns were replaced with new stolen ones, just like a few thousand jobs a week means "we've created 7 million new jobs in the past 4 years!!!" (We didn't say NET new jobs, don't pay attention to the 9 million that have left the labor force, or the 350,000 who get laid off every week like clockwork.)
Just watched HBO's Vice series and they had an episode called Chiraq. In this piece they pointed out the pr spin on our crime numbers and they also called us a failed state. It's a must see.
Saying crime is down is like saying John Holmes had E.D. and the taxpayers are the ones having this crammed down their throat.
so....William Daley, Lisa, Mike, Rham, and others....all players in the Bullshit Orchestra of Illinois Politics..they are so proud of themselves, and so devoid of character and integrity....one wonders....where did these people come from, and how did they get to the point where they have no character, no soul?
Hey Garry.....thanks!
CHALKIE
Will the media ever look at the numbers behind "crime is down" mantra? Are the numbers coming from less reports for simple assaults, CTDP, etc and self initiated incidents which provide the bulk of the numbers or down in violent incidents such as aggravated batteries/assaults with handguns, homicides, and robberies.
Most of the guns returned to New Orleans gun owners were no longer operational.
Book:
The Great New Orleans Gun Grab [Paperback]
Gordon Hutchinson (Author), Todd Masson
Book Description
Publication Date: November 1, 2007
Aug. 29, 2005, was a day no American will ever forget. When Hurricane Katrina, one of the five-strongest storms ever to build in the Atlantic Basin, slammed into the city of New Orleans, her towering storm surge tested the limits of the flood walls and levees protecting one of America's largest cities. The surge would find them lacking. As the city filled and drowned, it descended into mass hysteria and anarchy, and within hours became a place that would reveal to Americans whether their Constitution had any more value than the frayed, fragile, brown parchment on which it is written. As looters and thugs took over, the city's leaders turned their crosshairs and iron sights toward the lawful, gun-toting citizens who sought nothing more than to defend themselves from the marauding hordes. In what proved to be the greatest real-life test of the Second Amendment in American history, America failed miserably. The Great New Orleans Gun Grab tells the story of New Orleans residents who legally defied mandatory evacuation orders to protect their property, and who were subsequently beaten, harassed and robbed of their guns by the very civil authority that was funded and charged to protect them.
When will the media realize the Chicago Police Department is the Enron of cooking the books?
also remember that nora conroy daley will be your next mayor and ltb little tommy bryne will be the next supt. 11th ward crime family saga will continue the daleys run it.
seems like every fucking time he speaks, people die!
Who is that guy E.F. McFucking Hutton?
Something is afoot
Senate Bill 2318 just passed and it allows retired police officers to serve a summons for ordinance violations in municipalities with a population over 1,000,000
What is being planned?
i want to throw up every time he speaks
OT - Once again Chicago liberals make us a laughingstock.
University of Chicago removed pews from 88-year old chapel to accommodate Islamic prayers. According to University spokesman Susie Allen, "the pews were removed in order to provide Muslim students a place to pray.”
Basically, they turned a Christian chapel into a mosque.
University of Chicago - the liberal-progressive model: "Where gays give head and Muslims behead gays. It's all okay."

Where the hell do you people come up with this stuff !?!? This is top notch material. I haven't heard the term 'wet brain' in decades and it hasn't lost its ability to make me double over in side- splitting laughter. And then to throw in an Old Style reference was the icing on the cake.
Stay safe, keep up the good work and keep that humor coming, it's been proven to help your live longer.

No, crime is not down. Crime REPORTING is down.
After I had stuff stolen from my porch last week, I told several neighbors, to warn them. Two of the four told me stories about other items stolen on our block that week. No reports. They figure, if insurance won't cover it (deductible), there's no point in reporting and waiting an hour on hold with 311, never seeing a squad in the neighborhood, anyway.
So, no reports, no crime. See how easy it is to drive the crime rates down?
OT: Oh, HELL NO.
I'm getting bumper stickers made up that say, "NO MORE DALEYS!"
Bill Daley just announced for governor.
OT:
CLEVELAND (AP) — Appeals are planned by 12 Cleveland police supervisors disciplined for their roles in the chase in which officers fired 137 shots, killing a fleeing driver and his passenger.
A sergeant was fired Tuesday, a captain and lieutenant were demoted and nine sergeants were suspended for up to 30 days.
Is crime really down? Besides the lack of police officers on the streets and in the stations, your system to report crimes is broken. I tried to call in a verbal disturbance with a contractor last week. Has anyone really tried to use the 311 system? I am 60 years old, retired from the military and worked 20 years in the IT industry and I couldn't figure out how to report a disturbance with this system. Crime isn't down McCarthy, people just can no longer report it when it is happening.
It's "Chicago Math" check it out.
New Math Makes It Easier to Lower Unemployment
For years, economists have accepted 150,000 as the benchmark number of new jobs needed every month to keep the jobless rate level. Anything above that was supposed to lower the rate, while anything below added to the closely followed headline number.
Not so anymore, according to the Chicago branch of the Federal Reserve .
Central bank researchers, in fact, say that because of various factors that number now will be closer to 80,000.
HAHAHAHAHA.. 80,000 a month times 12 months == 960,000 jobs a year hahaha.
BUT LOOK...>>
How many students will graduate this year?
The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) projects 1,791,000 students at the bachelor's degree level will graduate as the college Class of 2013.
The best part is that the employment number bullshit is coming the the Chicago FED!! So we can expect 50% of the 2013 college grads to leave the work force because only half of them will find jobs, right?
Now combine that with falling work hours and falling wages and falling labor participation rates and tell me where the city and the state is going to get the money to keep this ponzi scam of theirs going!
Prepare for Armageddon. The best and the brightest are unwilling or unable to leverage the highly educated workforce. The so-called American Dream is crumbling before our eyes.
Yep crime is down.
According to Broken Windows crime methodology just take those burglar alarm calls with over 90 minutes on them and those domestics with over 2 hours on them that are sitting in the 911 dispatch que and "handle accordingly"
Y'all know how to "handle accordingly"
Why aren't the "handle accordingly's" counted in the CompStats reports? Yeah you know why.
The alderman want answers garry!
via the reader...
[...]..by our estimate the local arrests still cost taxpayers at least $78 million in court expenses and thousands of police hours a year—and it turns out that's just part of the picture. The ACLU found that in 2010 marijuana-possession arrests cost Illinois taxpayers $221 million.
Little has changed since then.
Last summer the Chicago City Council passed a law that allowed police to issue tickets instead of booking and locking up marijuana possessors. Supporters said it would reduce costs and keep low-level users out of the criminal justice system. "This is just a no-brainer," Alderman Danny Solis, the chief sponsor, said at the time.
But the law hasn't worked the way Solis hoped. Police have concluded that the ticketing process is a pain in the butt and doesn't send a strong enough message in tough neighborhoods. So they rarely use it, issuing just 17 citations a week citywide.
Meanwhile, the arrests keep coming. In the ten months since the law was passed, police have made more than 12,000 arrests for misdemeanor possession, 76 percent of them in black wards, according to police data.
That's an average of 281 arrests a week, or more than 40 a day. They've consumed 97,000 police hours and at least $30.2 million in court costs.
Police officials say they enforce the laws to protect public safety. Solis says he'd like some more answers. He promises to hold a hearing in the coming weeks to revisit the issue with police superintendent Garry McCarthy.
"It's time to sit down and have him give us an explanation of what's happening," Solis says. "Why are certain communities still targeted? Why aren't we ticketing? What's it costing us?"

Explain it to us Garry. Pissing away a quarter of a billion dollars would put a lot more cops on the streets to address the real problems and not the urinating in public bullshit that you're wasting resources on.
Heh, maybe you should TOW THEIR CARS!
daley, daley I heard that name before, but WHERE ????
The way McFailure and his initiatives are succeeding pretty soon we'll have negative crime numbers.
Wow this guy is good. Sarcasm off.
Off duty CPD Officer was struck on his bicycle and seriously injured. He was in the vicinity of 135th and ridgeland. The Cook County Sheriff's Police are handling the investigation. Keep This officer in your prayers guys! I don't know anything else About this incident at this time.
Off the record:
Why am I hearing that Rhomulan has a vested interest in the company responsibile for the upcoming swiping fiasco?
Stinks of failure and loads of money for our fearless leader.
What do numbers mean? Nothing-- even the FEDS do not recognize these silly numbers.
I wonder how that lead FBI Agent feels now , years after that Blago wiretap was prematurely shut down? Must have been frustrating, monitors knowing who was going to offer Blago what for that Senate seat?
The best is the Main Stream Media is clueless.
Protect each other, do the best you can and retire.

If it IS happening, you call 911.
If it happened in the past, you deal with the nonsense of 311.
so....William Daley, Lisa, Mike, Rham, and others....all players in the Bullshit Orchestra of Illinois Politics..they are so proud of themselves, and so devoid of character and integrity....one wonders....where did these people come from, and how did they get to the point where they have no character, no soul?

Simple.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Bill Daley would be the absolute WORST person for governor. He would team up with Rahm to enact the Daley and Rahm Emanuel version of "pension reform." Meaning we would really get fucked. Believe that.
With Bill Daley as governor, Rahm would get virtually anything he wants. Do NOT under any circumstances vote for Bill Daley and do not fail to vote for his opponent.
This may be the most important election in our careers, that one which effects out well being for years to come.
SAY NO TO DALEY!
Lets see......if no guns are confiscated does that mean there are no guns "on the street?"

Now you are starting to get it!
Put that one up there with: Less police officers means less reported crime.
If any one has to explain that to you taxpayers, here it is. Picture this: If you only had one police officer in Chicago, you wouldn't bother waiting for a report and crime would be down almost 100%. That's it in a nut shell. A significant number of victims no longer wait an ungodly amount of time to make a report.
BULLSHIT!
The decent people have given up on reporting crime!
The REPORTING of crime is down!
Jayzus! Are there ANY investigative reporters worth at least the pointy end of a rat turd anymore in this town?
OT...CPS is preaching rights/resistance to CPD at some west side graduations. Apparently they have a speaker going from ceremony to ceremony preaching this garbage
Slate.com has a very short funny article on this. I was surprised this liberal mag didn't buy Rahm's and the McBullshitLiar theory.

You couldnt't figure out how to report a verbal disturbance. You call 911 and if they wont take the call they will refer you to 311
As far as officers, there are plenty of officers in the stations,look in the commanders office, the front office, CAPS and a few hiding spots and you will see them

A wild guess would be that the city plans to have retired po's serve summons, just a guess

They have to go to NY for some good press.....
OT Rahm said he wont go after the former CFD chief that was given an additional $27,000.00 a year on his pension because it would take away from the real problems with the pensions. Yea, give the big guys the benefit and stick it to the little guys
Something is a foot

Maybe a cut in our pension with a job for the clouted retirees?
gmac is now going on tv saying homicides are down 105 since october... ok, how about since august, yep only 86. still a good number but you can see the numbers game. Your no longer just using one year or six months etc.. your using months convinient for you and your numbers. lets look at june 2012 to june 2013.. then you get a real picture.. homicides would only be down 12.. not such a huge difference then is it???
The Botox verbal judo beauty at the academy says " Leave my Garry alone! His strategies are working. At least for me they are!
End Gold Braid pensions retroactively. We all know it's solely based on CLOUT.
Fuck the schmoozing weasels.
It's nothing more than a legalized SCAM to bribe them for their unfettered allegiance to the corrupt administration.
Take their bullshit "merit" and shove it up the asses of the Democratic machine.
FACT: If you are an "exempt" or their latest version of a captain, you're a suckass draining our pension.
Some may regard a handful of them as "good guys". The fact remains that ALL of them are suckass CLOUT babies to some degree.
It's all legit! Right.
....says McGoebels
Does anyone even listen to this goof anymore?
A nod is as good as a wink to a blind man.

Never goi8ng to happen The top take care of the top. Yesterday Rahm was asked about Daley making the secret deal with Orozco that gave him $27,000.00 a year more in his pension. He said he would do nothing and that it would detract from the current pension problem, meaning ways to decreasing the po's pension benefits, while not addressing the abuse of the pension by Orozco
A nod is as good as a wink to a blind man.
