Seriously? Twitter?
Upwards of 70 people shot and this is what they roll out? Oh, and it's an adjunct to that vampire of all CPD programs - CAPS:
- Twenty years after Chicago Alternative Policing Strategy (CAPS) started in the city, the community-based program is getting some 21st century tweaks.
To “continue to build strong cooperation” between police and the community, CPD is launching a pilot Twitter program that will let officers use the social media site to notify residents about upcoming beat meetings and other important neighborhood events, Chicago Police Supt. Garry McCarthy said Monday.
Residents will also be able to watch and participate in community beat meetings online, McCarthy said.
“They can submit questions virtually from the comfort of their own home and their computer,” McCarthy said.
The Twitter program is set to begin in the Englewood, Harrison and River North districts, but will then “quickly expand citywide,” McCarthy said.
Yeah, because everyone in 007 and 011 micro-blogs. And we thought one of the purposes of CAPS was so that everyone could meet their neighbors. Now they can just log in and bitch anonymously. Brilliant.
And this is just a scream:
And this is just a scream:
- The city is also about to unveil a re-designed, more user friendly Chicago Police web site.
To help police better solve crimes, residents will soon be able to send crime scene photographs from the cell phones to the 911 system.
“This will help our responding officers to understand and actually have eyes on the ground to the incidents they are responding to,” McCarthy said
Solve crimes with citizen photographs - how many of these will be admissible in court?
And the "...help our responding officers to understand and actually have eyes on the ground to the incidents they are responding to." Has there been some massive purchase of computers, software and transmission hardware that would actually allow us to receive this data in the squad cars in real time? Because we must have missed that what with all of the 70+ shootings ripping the south and west sides apart. This is a fantasy, but the media prints it without possibly flagging down a beat officer and asking him or her about the in-car computer capabilities.

And just exactly how are the twitter and 911 crime scene photos texted to 911 going to be preserved for court and tendered as part of discovery????? Let me guess nobody thought of it, will be typical CPD leave the detectives hanging and left holding the bag during trials.
Oh I got it.....
The Cyber-Snitch-Box!
Hopefully they chose better passwords than "CPDenglewood" or those accounts are going to get hacked before year end. If we're lucky, the "hackers" (password guessers) will leak a few juicy Direct Messages!
Seriously embarrassing...how many crime fighting strategies can they pull out of their hat? Every other week it's a new strategy...this department make's me sick....
So...
This is the best that the great God of Police from the East can do?
The smartest modern era Police executive ever and the nigh near second coming of Sir Robert Peal?
The man who was going to show us hicks, rubes and yokels in Chicago how he was going to re-boot Policing in this town with New Yawk and Camden, New Joisey as the templates?
He was going to swing his Rod and his Staff while descending from the Heavens with two stone tablets etched with the word "Comp-Stat?"
CUE: Laugh Track
Shit... The only Twitter this steak-head knows about are the Tweety-Birds flying in and out of his ears as he tries to uncross his eyes and stop slurring from his 5 day bender.
McWalkingPapers ought to be thanking his lucky stars that local media is so compliant and refuses to ask the OBVIOUS questions of this over-comped clown funeral hearse driver...
TWITTER?
These savages, the people and folks who provide them safe harbor, are all of a sudden going to be tweeting tips to The Police?
This new crazy is some wild shit!
False Flags...
Ambushes...
Bullshit in abundance...
Desperately flinging shit against a wall labeled "Doing Something" in hope some of it actually sticks...
Well now this explains why all the young scholars from englewood and harrison are aggressively robbing people of their Iphones. How else does Garry expect them to twitter us or take crime scene photos for us?
On one of the early afternoon Ch. 7 broadcasts of the news, they had a story about a couple of d.j.'s from WVON who were talking on-air about trying to get people "to put down their guns" and declare a truce, etc... I don't know the woman's name, or if she was a guest or a d.j., but she said it wasn't a police problem, but a parenting problem, and these parents need to raise their kids to "not act a fool". I was a bit surprised to hear that, but how right she was. Jump ahead to the 9pm Ch. 9 news, they do the same basic story, but they don't air the quote given by this woman. Ch. 9 has gotten so bad with their political correctness, that it's sickening.
Heh, no 19th district CAPS on Twitter is there?

"TUNNEY TO CONCERNED CITIZEN: "You're just one person."
We've received lots of feedback via email and in the comments section from our readers who attended last night's Wrigleyville and Boystown police CAPS meeting.
The bold headline in nearly every letter was the remarkable arrogance and disrespect that Alderman Tom Tunney unleashed on citizens who expressed concern about their neighborhood.
Perhaps you would like to send your thoughts to the Alderman? ward44@cityofchicago.org
Compiled from our emails and comment sections:
The first half of that meeting was nothing but a self-congratulatory jerk-off session about how well the parade went with no major incidents. I interrupted Tunney, and ended up in a yelling match with him, and I wasn't about to let him shout me down.
[Another man], who is the president of his condo board and a real estate agent, said the parade should be moved Downtown. Tunney said, "I got maybe four calls after the parade all about traffic...you're just one person," and a lot of people gasped. That set this guy off, and he ended up blasting Tunney about the condition of the neighborhood.
A guy sitting behind me whispered "asshole" while Tunney was going off, and when the meeting ended, I turned and said, "But he's an asshole who always runs unopposed." The guy looked at me and said, "Not this time."
The CAPS meetings are a waste of time, but you can meet people there, and my neighbor and I connected with the other guy who yelled at Tunney, and we're talking about getting the boards of area condo buildings to link together.
In the immortal words of Howard Beal, "First you've got to get mad." Well, people, you've got to get mad. He doesn't deserve the respect.
I was appalled that it was more of Tom Tunney Hour than anything else. How DARE Tunney talk to some of his constituents the way he did! He sure seemed like a defensive guy ...
I found the meeting to be useless. The two people who spoke and made commendable suggestions were talked down to by those facilitating the meeting, and, of course, by Tunney.
WE NEED MORE PATROL OFFICERS on Halsted and side streets. Visibility is key. What does it take to get anyone's attention? A shooting? Another apparent abduction? What?? And that damned "pride" parade needs to be renamed the "shame" parade, given what follows it on Sunday nights every year for the past three years. Too many people are sugar-coating the issue. GET THE THUGS OUT OF BOYSTOWN. Otherwise residents will be leaving for good and tourism will collapse. I really wish I could understand why a meeting like a CAPS meeting would be held, and then we only get lies, half-truths, and rude elected officials running the conversation.
Read the rest of the comments here
The citizenry is getting pissed. Look at the length of those comments and think about the time that they are taking to write about this shit going down -- the arrogance of the political apparatus.
Yeah, I'm not quite sure how we're gonna see people's text-pics and tweets on our text-based, non-graphical dispatch system. Shit, the smartphone each of us carries in our pockets has better mapping and street guides than PCAD, which is what, 25 years old? And that assumes your PDT works and is in range, which is a crapshoot anyway.
I'm surprised they are rolling out this new plan with those snitch boxes working so well right now
I realize the effectiveness of CAPS varies from District to District and beat to beat, but in the old 013 area of 012 we have one outstanding facilitator who work really well with the beat cops and commander. (I think it helps tot have a relative who is CPD.)
In fact, I read SCC because my facilitator tells residents we should if we really want to know what's going on crime-wise across the city and the BS cops put up with everyday.
If nothing else, by reading the blog, I've learned
1. It's a squad, not a cruiser
2. Hair gel, Old School and KMA Club are types of cops
3. That under the leadership of a guy named Chalkie, roaming bands of Amish honor students are terrorizing our city
4. My favorite nicknames for the current and previous mayors and Supts -- Tiny Dancer and Shortshanks and J-Fled and McJersey Shore, respectively.
Thank you for my education, a few laughs and most importantly, your service.
Stay safe,
A grateful resident
For the poster who inquired about the identity of the female from WVON,she is Perri Small. She has worked as an on air personality at the station for many years. Several weeks ago, she was on Chicago Tonight for one of their Friday Week in Review shows. As for her statement that was highlighted from the news footage on Channels 7 and 9, she has expressed this perspective numerous times for issues associated with criminal activity in the community.
I for one didn't have a problem with it because she expressed the truth. I was surprised that her statement wasn't edited out of the segments. Unfortunately, for those parents and other adults that truly needed to hear that message from the radio show or television news broadcast will either let it go in one ear or out the other, or just didn't hear it at all.
Sounds great!
Idiots.
What I want to know is, why now that it is 2013, we can't do a name check on someone and have their ID/DL picture populate on the screen of the PDT or even in the station? I know pretty much my partner's information, and two of my friend's personal information. Bday, home address, H/W. How many times have you locked up someone who gave a fake name and it came back to someone who was a real person?
#jackasses
I am convinced that this nyc clown is a bigger goof than we thought he was. I also know that when the Mayo says he has confidence in you , start packing your bags buddy boy!!
Oh and please take those goons that you brought with you. Especially the 2 star that didnt speak with anyone at the parade. What a frickn tool!
anyone see rick flair standing behind the jagnut? Sorry Leo , you are not next in line so forgetaboutit!!!!!!!!!
This will not be much help in real time, but there is a lot that can slip in a tweet.....hope they have someone with the experience to separate the wheat from the chaff.
I am must amazed at Chicago.
All this time I thought Dallas or Houston was the pits, but at least us Texans can shoot back. 70+? On a weekend?
Now I'd love to take the Amtrack to Chicago and see the sights, but hey, my CHL is worthless in Chicago and I don't want to see the inside of a jail, any jail.
Hope the new CCW bill works in Illinois and you allow Texas CHLs to pack. Not holding my breath mind you.
i'm happy when the damn pdt just has a green circle so i can get an address to the job. now, if i was able to pass along naughty photos on the fecking things to other cars I'd be ecstatic, and retire happy. emotions are funny like that.
only one strategy left to play... chuck norris.
I wonder how many weenee pictures they are going to get?
Just A Citizen: Once again, I don't have a college degree or a fancy title but I know that once you the animals become rabid, you have to put them out of their misery. Build them all the parks you want, play all the twitter games you want, use all the crime fighting strategies you can think of... the only thing to stop rabies from spreading is killing all the hosts. Of course this is illegal as we just can't open fire on all the effed up morons, but sadly this is the only thing that is going to get through to them. You can call in all the shrinks you want, have all the Pastors preach at them, close whatever el lines you want, stop whatever bus service you want, change strategies so many times your heads are spinning and they are still going to want what you have, think they deserve to have what you have and will do whatever it takes for them to have it. Animals. Can't even call them humans. Disgusting leaders in Chicago, egged on by stupid liberals and backed up by the mob that runs DC. It ain't gonna change until the second coming of Jesus. Period. The city is a goner.
"To help police better solve crimes, residents will soon be able to send crime scene photographs from the cell phones to the 911 system."
Will the residents be required to do a Supp to the original RD #?
The day this program is up and running I promise to text pictures of the beat maps of entire districts like 015, 011, 007 and so forth.
There's your fucking crime scenes, McWeekendApparition.
Quite fitting for using a free ObamaFone.
As for the Supe & the Mayor....they're Twits.
Maybe Rham, McDrunk ad little Mikey an all tweet each other.
I knew there was a reason behind all those free cell phones being passed out on every corner in the ghetto. And you guys thought they were subtle bribes to enhance the democratic vote. HA I knew it, Twitter in the inner city, gotta love it. Some hack, bootlicking, jerkoff just won a meritorious sergeants position for this great idea. Guaranteed!!! For the rest of you......
Stay Calm, and remain in your BOX.
Too funny
Here's my one constant criticism of CPD: GENERATE REVENUE! You want those 6,000 additional cops on the streets with no dilution of existing pay structures: GENERATE REVENUE! I'm sorry but not every cop gets to be a tac officer busting down doors: GENERATE REVENUE!
I just watched three officers ride through the Clark and North intersection on bikes. They clearly saw what I saw: 1 driver blocking the box and tying up green light traffic (not sure about Chicago, but that's $500 in NYC). Two bicyclists tearing down the sidewalk ($250 each). A cab making a dangerous right turn directly in front of pedestrians in the crosswalk who had a walk sing ($160).
The cops did nothing. Just took it all in and kept pedaling down North Avenue.
Start writing some god damned tickets, reign in the out of control cabbies, get the fucking bikes off the sidewalks, allow a pedestrian to use a crosswalk without putting his life at risk, and as an added bonus, maybe the city wouldn't be so broke and could afford some of the things that you want.
Chicago Tribune
September 24, 1990:
"Someone is murdered about every 10 hours in Chicago. An average of 36 shootings occur each day-that's 252 a week, 1,008 a month, 12,096 a year at the current rate. There also is a daily average of 28 stabbings and 45 serious assaults with other weapons."
How is this going to work?
Dude working the tip is wearing a white T and blue jeans
#the-work-is-in-his-ass
#hesgotrocksandblows
If Mcdipshit really wanted to try to curb the mob attacks, he should be using twitter and facebook to track down these attacks before they start. The savages use twitter and facebook to orchestrate and organized wildings
This moron is completely out of touch with both reality and the rank and file.

-----------------------------------
Why should we accept that or even last years Chicago homicide numbers as the gold standard metric of what is acceptable here? Why?
Other large cities do not have this problem currently.
If we have 999 shootings in the first six months of next year it will be okay because 999 is less than one thousand? We'll call Garry and Rahm's strategy a success? Gimme a !@#$-ing break.
What is the strategy anyways?
More cops on the street, right? If that's working, the right strategy, then why isn't it being expanded?
Double talking b.s. that's why.
More cops on the street isn't the answer and then put more cops on the street and say that strategy is working. So which is it?

Looks like at least one resident likes the text way to report crime. And look, it's in old 013/new 012 where the "Grateful Resident" poster lives.
Neighbor hears a woman being raped in a gangway and sends a text instead of calling? Wouldn't you want to hear another human being assure you that the police are on their way? I'm convinced the digital generation doesn't like human interaction.

well, you could help out here, by eliminating your overpaid job of trolling blogs to tout for your socialist cronies.
To A Grateful Citizen, here is another bit of info or history for you. In the 21 years of CAPS I have never seen a public backing from citizen participating in CAPS on a police shooting or controversial arrest backing the police. Since the inception of CAPS the old school police(not the hair gels) will tell you what CAPS REALLY MEANS AND THE TYPES OF CAPS MEETING WE LIKED TO ATTEND.
C- Consuming
A- Alcohol
P- Prevents
S- Stress

Go fuck yourself Mr Citizen. I haven't received a raise for four years. In those four years I was shot at twice and answered over a thousand calls for service. If the city can afford Maggie's Park, a new River Walk and a stadium for a blowjob of a team like DePaul University not to mention selling the skyway and meters. Oh almost forgot 48 million dollars on the failed Olympic bid. I'll make you a deal. I'll generate revenue when you Mr. Citizen fund my pension.

Off-Topic - Governor Goofy is against raising the speed limit in non-urban areas to 70mph because he is 'afraid' what happened in Indiana will happen here.
What is it he fears so much? Increased fatal accidents? No; there's no appreciable increase in fatal accidents in Indiana.
He said he fears the LOSS OF INCOME FROM SPEEDING TICKETS. I kid you not.
Wonderful. Another inside full-time spot for some clouted people, just like the useless district intelligence officer.
To 8:06, the district intelligence officer is a valuable position given to only the truly intelligent, experienced, and respected officer(s) in a given district. For example, look at 011.........(Crickets)

How about this you NYC asshole !!! Go back there and have Bloomberg tell you that you cannot have too many ounces of soda in a cup.
Now go walk east down North ave and try not to get mugged because your NYC asshole Supt could care less. He is too busy going to the same bars as you, getting tanked every night.
Lastly, go watch a mets game back in that rat infested NYC.

Get off the blog Rham, you money grubbing piece of shit.
The desk jockeys have to stay in place so what now can we come up with, I know ...new technology, it's Twitter.I have a new idea that gets me another year developing this fantastic new idea.
How are the cell phone photos going to get to the PDT? The system is outdated and probably not compatible with what they are palnning
Shouldn't those cell phones be inventoried? That's evidence
Excuse me sir/madam you sent us a photo now we need you to come inn and speak with the state's attorney before they will approve charges. Huh? What? I don't know nothin
