Memorial Defaced Again
- Chicago Police are asking for the public's help in finding whoever defaced the Chicago Police Memorial on the Near South Side Museum Campus with graffiti last weekend.
Sometime in the early morning hours of Saturday, Aug. 3, someone spray-painted the monument in the 1400 block of South Museum Campus Drive, which is south of the Field Museum and east of Soldier Field.
Anyone with information should call Area Central detectives, at (312) 747- 8380
Maybe a set of motion-activated lights and video security could be utilized? One thing is for certain - they can't move the Memorial over to HQ and stick it in the parking lot like the Haymarket statue.

Lets put some hard charging ppo's on foot patrol to secure our fallen brother and sisters memorial. They defiantly deserve it.
Geeze! Why isn't that a BOX there?
I'd love to get a hold of the punkass piece of shit who's doing this. I'd volunteer to sit there and wait til it was tried again. I hope whoever does get him(them) knocks their teeth out.
Just A Citizen says: As someone who supports the CPMF and has attended goings-on at the Memorial, I'm about ready to donate security cameras and heavy duty lighting just so that when, not if, these thugs deface again, I can personally see to their untimely demise.
You beat me to it with the lights and security video statement. i wondered why after the first time there were no security procedures in place. We will hear the whole not enough money and high cost to the run the foundation excuse.
Trail camera s have come a long way.
The problem is that there are no consequences.
There is no fear.

Oh fucking lord.....
You can't be serious? Please tell us you're joking?
Any veterans care to enlighten this benighted asshat?
You can start with 06 October 1969
Trail cams! Get some trail cams!

The statue was blown up two years in a row, in 1969 and 1970. Pieces of it ended up on the Kennedy Expressway.
And extra credit to anyone who recalls who several of the prime suspects were. Anyone?
OK then, Bernardine Dohrn, Jeff Jones, and Bill Ayers.
everything else gets vandalized too. some lights won't stop the vandals. they go into cemeteries and rip up headstones.
The youngster does not know the full history of the Haymarket statue.
Why not take former Mayor Daley's current bodyguards and switch their detail to guarding the Police Memorial? Let that fat ass start paying for his own drivers.
How about having those who run the Memorial fund guard it? Or pay off-duty officers to watch it?
Install cameras you can get the money from Cline who get a ridicules salary
What happened to the cameras that use to be there?
Probably moved to the new FIFTY TWO MILLION dollar Maggie daley Park.
Yeah, I know daley isn't capitolized. That thieving rat's name doesn't deserve a capitol letter.
The dead ARE resting. It's you, the living, who have to keep tracking down these jag offs.
Rahm has 4 officers watching his house around the clock 24/7- maybe he could spare two to watch the memorial! But then again, he thinks he is much more important than guarding the names of the officers who sacrificed their lives for this city.

How do you suppose the statue got it's name? Think about it. That is where the statue once stood. Sheesh, in this google age, how hard would it be to look that up before commenting?
They have cameras in the center section with the names. Used to at least.
Approximately 12,000 police officers divided by 1,095 eight-hour shifts per year equals every officer having to stand duty at the Memorial once every 11 years to provide 24x7 protection. Any volunteers?
1,095 eight hour shifts per year divided by 12,000 officers equals each officer providing on-site protection the Memorial once every 11 years. Any volunteers? How much does the Mayor's detail cost the taxpayer?

................................
And where was it prior to being at the Academy? Go ahead and think...I'll wait.
A disgrace to an already disgraced city. Nothing means anything to these assholes not even respect for the dead.
They will get there's. I guarantee it.
With all the emails I get on my department email touting Phat Phil and Ronny Lubermans alarm company how come they haven't placed any equipment at the memorial. Since ur saying the memorial foundation endorses your company when will you give something back?
Any veterans care to enlighten this benighted asshat?
Why bother.

On the night of May 4, 1886, disgruntled laborers, including anarchists, held a rally for an 8-hour workday at Haymarket Square (Randolph St. between DesPlaines and Halsted Sts., currently bisected by the Kennedy Expwy). An anarchist tossed a home-made dynamite bomb which caused the deaths of twelve people including seven CPD officers.
Five years later, the 9-foot bronze memorial statue of a CPD officer with right hand raised was mounted on a pedestal at the site of the Haymarket Massacre.
During the "Days of Rage" circa 1968-1970, the statue was first defaced with black paint and twice bombed. It was repaired and moved to CPD HQ at 1121 S. State and later the Police Academy. It now stands at the current CPD HQ at 3510 S. Michigan Ave.
Now go out and get your pissers, brown baggers and contact cards. This sure ain't your daddy's CPD.
The Haymarket Statue was blown up repeated for many years; that's WHY it was moved to the courtyard at the Academy.

The statue was originally located at Randolph and the Kennedy, the approimate site of the incident. During the late 60's (you think it's bad now, you should have been around then, count the stars in the case from that period)it became a target for radical bombers. It got blown off its base a couple of times. A car from 012 was stationed there around the clock. Its journey began and it was moved to 11th Street, the Training Division, and finally the current spot. That's the short version.

You need to read the prequel. Hard to believe, but there was a Department before you arrived and there was a lot of shit going on.
Here is the history of The Haymarket Statue. Scroll down on the right side to read the entire article.
Whoops! Forgot to include the link!

Appreciate that, but you shouldn't have to, the CITY should. These men/women gave their lives working for this city. This CITY had money for flower pots and parks but not for simple motion lights you can get at Home Depot. This is also the same City that cannot fix a fence/ make the perimeter more secure where an officer was killed at 61st and Racine. The bottom line is Rham doesn't give a fuck about us. If you don't think this isn't done on purpose you're crazy. And if you know any of Rham's drivers now or in the past they have told us he CAN'T stand us.
just sick about it let me know if they want to start a volunteer detail to stand guard over it I will donate my free time a couple times a month. I would love to had caught these savages. bo n holder a big f you.
We testified on SB2231 on March 20th at 0855 and it has laid on Jellos desk to this day yet he has not signed it with those multitude of pens we pay for too. So if this a--hole is caught he probably doesn't come under this more stringent punishment bill.
The CPD in Haymarket was not your CPD today. It was closer to the fire brigades depicted in Gangs of New York. Sorry, but true. Bonfield was the political appointee in charge of the detail, and the night before guards or the "police" as they were at the time had killed a protester in a demonstration on the south side along river, in I think what is currently in 010. It might have been an International Harvester plant disturbance. In fact, if my memory is right, the Haymarket demonstration was called as a protest of the killing the night before.
Thats it. Not in any way defending the bombing. More just saying that there is a lot more to the story in the 1800s then just an anarchist, a bomb, and a bunch of dead coppers.
Sad, but the Memorial people will again ask for more $$$. The police officer who is working 2 and 3 jobs to send his/her kids to a private school will donate more.
Meanwhile, the Fund has never given out the salaries they pay. Why?
Finally something unit 704 could do sit around the memorial they dont do shit anyway . Can they get ot for that. By the way what do they do ?

We have a winner!
What's the charge? 90 minutes at Grand and Central and then what?
There is no real consequence for anything below and including Agg Battery (w/ no firearm)... if it was just a hammer or an up charge on a postal worker, CTA, CFD or CPD they fucking walk. Shit the actors will probably tweet a video of it eventually. They know they don't face shit.
Ohhh...my fantasy...tagging a tagger all over his/her stupid face with permanent marker in a variety of colors. Face painting for real.
Whoever catches him will be promoted,all you wanna be bosses step up to the plate,pitch a tent,with a string attached to your big toe to alert you while you sleep there,all go getters are welcome!

Hey, who is buried in Grant's Tomb? Come on, tell me that one.
And where was the Gettysburg Address delivered? How long was the Hundred Years War?
Where do they make Panama hats?
When do the Russians celebrate the October Revolution?
What is a camel's hair brush made of?
What color is a purple finch?
What animal are the Canary Islands named after?
Not as simple as it might seem.

I second the motion. Plus add a big f you to Swan Lake.

I hope you catch them and send them home to whatever shithole they crawled out of in a bucket.
Here's an Idea, The Memorial foundation could hire those of us who need the cash to work security @ The Memorial. It's all about looking out for each other, Right?

Many of the old-timers tell stories about using the spray paint on the backs of the heads and necks of the painters, then sending them on their way.

Close but no cigar, Actually Panama hats are made in Ecuador. You could look it up.
We put cops to guard the mayor's house; guard Burke; drive the treasurer around; protect the lobby of HQ. We can't assign a guard to the memorial 24/7? Some officer would even consider it an honor.
Maybe a set of motion-activated lights and video security could be utilized?
And, because the cameras are monitored 24/7/365, the offenders will be caught in no time at all.
Bwahahahahahahahahahaha!

Yeah, me too. But the truth being, they will be sending them to the shithole known as Chicago.
In the movie CASINO when robert deniro asked the poker player who had been caught ripping off his casino "did you do that with right had or left?" "then you must be left handed" at that point one of the casino security guards took a hammer and slammed about six times on the of the poker players left hand" that is what they should do to these sobs who defaced our great memorial. also robert deniro said "throw him into the alley tell the cops he got hit by a car"

If we're 'sticking together' and it's 'our' memorial, there shouldn't have to be any money involved.

Ecudorian Parade Sunday in 017.
General Ulysses S. Grant AND wife Julia are entoumbed there.
Canary Islands as in Canine or Canario in Spanish.
Hundred Years War 1337-1453 England v. France. Must have had the Daley's involved in the contracts to make it last so long.
Why don't we have security camera there? This is our sacred place to honor our fallen. If this is not addressed I will stop contributing out of my check.
The Hay Market Statue WAS defaced, when it was at it's original spot at Randolph & the Kennedy, the 001 had a 24-7 detail on it, after the 1st defacing, I was on it numerous times, (what a terrible detail, especially during the winter on Midnight's, Inspectors all the time checking !!!
012 didn't have the detail, 001 did, twelve was the other side of the Kennedy !!!
Great place for a ret. sniper.
