Crime Strategies Are Working!
At least, that's the message the Department and the Sun Times are selling:
- As paramedics lifted gunshot victim Deuntrell Murry into an ambulance, Chicago Police Cmdr. David McNaughton was already plotting a response to his shooting.
Immediately after Murry was shot in the leg at 2:10 p.m. on May 30 in the 2700 block of West 64th, McNaughton learned his name from a district intelligence officer on the scene.
Within 20 minutes, police headquarters created an intelligence report on Murry, which the commander pulled up on a computer in his office in the Chicago Lawn District on the Southwest Side. Murry’s mugshot was at the top of the report, which listed his associates, their gang ties, their criminal records and their rivals.
Then the article starts making tenuous connections about how things work:
- One of Murry’s associates was eventually arrested with a gun — possibly preventing a shooting, police said.
"possibly." The associate was a shorty - 14-years-old, and no info has been released as to whether he was out to shoot someone or just transporting a gun between locations.
The article glosses over what many view to be McCarthy's biggest misstep....:
The article glosses over what many view to be McCarthy's biggest misstep....:
- In putting the focus on district crime fighting, McCarthy eliminated citywide strike forces.
....which he is apparently reconstructing via Area foot patrols and massive overtime expenditures.
There are also a few tidbits that point to, but don't address, larger issues covered here and elsewhere:
There are also a few tidbits that point to, but don't address, larger issues covered here and elsewhere:
- Murry, 20, is a felon who served prison time for a 2012 gun possession conviction, records show.
In an interview, he said he was shot in the lower leg while walking to his mother’s home. He said he never saw the shooters’ faces.
Gee, a gun conviction just last year, and he's out catching bullets. Amazing, it's almost like there isn't any punishment for weapon offenses. And he's also maintaining the "no snitching" culture.
But what's the deal with this?
But what's the deal with this?
- McNaughton keeps track of every shooting and murder in his district in a thick binder on his desk.
Binder? Isn't all of this on computer? Aren't all the crime stats mapped? We're still using binders? How very...modern?

If McNaugton is going to the binder, then the Tact Teams will
be going to the Mattresses,Just sayn
He has binders full of murders!
Hey well it shows what a great job the commander is doing if he has a thick binder of murders and shootings. Wouldn't you brag about the binder being small there boss.
Mcnaughten is a goof. Total company man Would sell out his own mother if he had too.
What a joke this "paperless department" bull shit is.
The beat cops also perform the data entry function.
Call it what it is.
For a state legislature that is so gung-ho on gun control, it's aazing those convicted of gun crimes are out of prison in a matter of months. Idiots in the judicial and penal system.
This whole article just reeks of the responsibilities mandated in the Gang Violence Reduction Strategy G.O. By design, no doubt.
Our spin on it: any perceived successes linked to it, fabricated or otherwise, should indicate:
A) contrived results to garner additional funding for tools/resources that make up the G.V.R.S. or
B) career advancement up the Gold Star foodchain for the Bosshole(s) who dreamt-up the G.V.R.S. and hidey-hole spots for their hangers-on and pincushion dollies.
"Link-Analysis", "Two Degrees of Separation"...yada, yada, yada.
How about some of these resources, efforts and manpower get applied to actual taxpayers instead of continually wasting them on those that don't contribute a fucking thing to begin with? Just once, I'd like to see some kind of R.O.I. on all my tax dollars being thrown into every program that caters exclusively to the ghetto demographic. But since that ain't gonna happen, time to redirect the extras to those that pay the admission for everyone on the ride.
Fancy-schmancy initiatives, regurgitated General Orders with new names and saturating hot spots with hundreds of bodies in blue shirts does absolutely nothing to address the root of the problems prevalent in the communities where these resources are pissed away.
Just don't you say that too loud or too often unless you're comfortable with being labeled a racist or Uncle Tom.
Wow! Look! Frank Main!!

I was talking with our "intelligence officer" a couple nights ago. I was asking how 35th st comes up with the names on the "Top 20" list they give us. He said at the training class he had at 35th st he was told the list is determined by a couple people who are not CPD. Two people at two colleges were named. Got on the computer and started looking for the names and schools and here's what I eventually found:
Academic #1 is named Andrew Papachristos, He is a sociologist at Yale. His bio can be found here--
http://papachristos.org/AboutMe.html
His specialty is in examining how violent crime spreads. The "two degrees of association" is his theory that identifies gangsters who may be at most risk becasue they hang out with murderers and murder victimes and calls for intervention. So, basically he calls for babysitting at-risk gangsters so they dont end up dead gangsters. Work with sociologists - get social work.
Academic #2 is a bit more perplexing. He is a professor here at IIT named Miles Wernick. You didn’t know IIT had a research program in criminal justice? Well don’t feel bad – they don’t. Wernick is the director of the Medical Imaging Research Center in the Pritzker Institute of Biomedical Science and Engineering. His bio can be found here—
http://www.iit.edu/engineering/ece/faculty/wernick_miles.shtml
His specialty is “Medical imaging, image processing, pattern recognition,” and he has degrees in physics and optics. That’s very impressive, but how does that qualify him to work with crime data to reduce violence? Well, it doesn’t actually. But it seems he’s done some research in pattern recognition in medical images for diagnosing...bad medical stuff. And naturally, since the pattern recognition in medical imaging for bad stuff is identical to recognizing patterns of human behavior in unpredictable, violent gang members, the transfer of diagnostics is simple.
So there you have it. From the mouths of those working with these two junior crimefighter merit badge hopefuls and a little internet searching we find that those working on the Supe’s big violence reduction effort are a sociologist with no criminal justice education or experience and a medical imaging researcher with no criminal justice education or experience.
Now get out there and make contact with your top 20!
Is the public, particularly Southwest Side residents, aware that with a population of nearly 250,000 residents, the CPD Eighth (008) District would rank as the second most populous "city" in Illinois?
It's a no-brainer. In the interests of public safety, 008 should be divided into 2 or more districts.
What amazes me is that at Comstat each commander has to recount the facts of every shooting and murder that occurred in his district during the time frame. Seems stupid to me. Doesn't the Supe get this info at the daily briefings? Doesn't he read the Major Incident Report on ICLEAR? All we do is create the appearance of doing something. For instance, upon arrival at a shooting the G.O. expects you to identify all the gangs involved, who is the members affiliates/rivals and the level of retaliation, and do it all within an hour while trying to manage a chaotic scene and conduct and investigation. What a fucked up dept we've become.
Off topic. That new f.t.o. That works in 025 from 010 district is driving everybody nuts by telling everyone " I'm from ten" . "ten damn it , I'm from ten". "don't u know I'm from ten". Does anyone from ten know this gal?

Put this comment on the Top 10 List for this year. Good money after bad simply to pacify and distract society's leeches. Wouldn't want them going crazy/rioting once they were cut off from the gubmint tit now would we?

"...Just don't you say that too loud or too often unless you're comfortable with being labeled a racist or Uncle Tom."
We're comfortable like a m/fer...
Plus we don't give a high & fast flying fuck about being labeled thus...
Except for the job related nightmares, we sleep fine...
A man who not only doesn't give a fuck but has a clear conscience and no guilt complex is hard to knock out of his square.
Heh... That's the man Ladner & Co. vowed to purge from the ranks of CPD for not being "sensitive to the community."
When the jaw-jackers resort to such name calling, that means The Patrolman has knocked them out of their "Square (of sidewalk) Of Impunity" and they're all out of everything else to throw up as a distractor.
(It's fun to see a muthafuckah's comfort zone disintegrate from all around and from up under his ass...)
Say it louder IFIYGD... Too many are pretending looking at the freshly twisted balloon animals of distraction in a vain attempt not to notice the immense, mushroom encrusted, fermenting turd floating in the Chicago punch bowl...
"La-La-La... We Can't Hear You!"
*Fingers In Ears... Eyes Closed*
"Racist" or "Uncle Tom" doesn't hurt. Sticks and stones do... And as a curative for those, we carry hot loaded .45's.
For legitimate law enforcement and self defense purposes of course...
Heh... Mostly self defense since any meaningful law enforcement in this town has been has been intentionally de-fanged and de-clawed, as those of us with good time and good sense have known for years.
Quick question, why is it I get paid the same as some clout baby who has worked rush and division his whole career? I am tired of the fucking ghetto and (like others) we have no way out. Wasn't there some fop protection regarding the ablity to move around? I don't know, just asking.

OT, SCC if you would permit me,
Anybody related to (or if you know the family of) Mike Lyons, CPD, who worked here in the 60's/70's (some of that time in Traffic), please get in touch asap. This is very time-sensitive, so please write to: RegardingMikeLyons@gmail.com Thanks.
It may mean something to his family.

Yeah, just like 019.
Good luck with that.
Yeah, just like 019.
Good luck with that.
6/10/2013 03:47:00 PM
yeah, because 019 is so crazy with crime... 019 is sleepy hollow. If you think because you have clark street and the suburban drunks up there at closing time that its wild and needs manpower then your totally fu*ked in the head. get over it, 019 is a sleepy spot. Youve got yuppies and the occassional ghetto thugs up there starting trouble. during the day everything is yuppie central with an apple picking here and there by the trains... in ghetto districts anywhere south or west you have to deal with madness at all times of the day. lump the madness together with a district that is 24 square miles with a quarter million people and you have backlogs all day every day of the year. so if anything needs to be split up its 008.. not a sleepy district like 019. god, do yourself a favor and work in a shithole.. you will love 019.
Well I hope you morons in the public defenders office are paying attention....
TIP. TIP.TIP. TIP..
You ever hear of discovery violations there Mr. commander, you know the same discovery violations that you are middling the detectives into with your little binder.
I'm sure your information was passed along to the detectives and included in investigative files,
haha!!!
So I hope you idiots at the Public Defenders office are paying attention
Yeah, just like 019.
Good luck with that. Yeah Right, 019 and 008, kind of the same thing. NOT.....
Bullshit like this isn't worth an investigation.

6/10/2013 09:55:00 AM
I know a former male PO(now FTO) there from 010. A female PO from 010 also?
McNaughton called his district intelligence officer??? And what did he say? Does McNaughton know that his intelligence officer is completely clueless? Does he know that hes been taken care of his entire career and really knows absolutely nothing about what is going on? Does he know that he gets info from guys on the watch, tac teams and the daytime incident cars then runs to McNaughton and regurgitates that crap and claims it as his own when 9 times out of ten its wrong info anyways? how did he really land that job??? Monday through Friday straight days assigned to the commanders office. Yeah, its all legit... another waste of a spot where someone good could be put and actually attempt to shed light on some stuff going on in 008 filled with an incompetent.. but nope, the Chicago way.. the connected guy who lies his way into the spot by making people think hes a genius. ahh, 4 years till retirement, cant wait...
TO 10:35 PM....the mindless PD s office cannot allege a discovery violation till somebody is ARRESTED AND CHARGED...Even chalkie is not happy with the clearance rate, his work will never end : CPD has to help thin the herd , he cannot do it all! Carry on...."can I get an event number" doesn't cut it.
yup they really working!!! LMAO!!!!
