Rahm - Crime Fighter!
You'd think that Rahm (and Garry) put on capes this past year and ran around in a super-powered automobile and were throwing the handcuffs on everyone who looked at them cross-eyed:
- With the year coming to a close, Mayor Rahm Emanuel sought Monday to highlight a drop in the city's violent crime numbers compared with last year's spike in homicides and shootings that left Chicago with more killings than any other U.S. city.
But even as the mayor and police Superintendent Garry McCarthy pointed to a set of statistics to support their contention that the city's crime-fighting strategy is working, Emanuel acknowledged that the improved numbers are not enough to make residents in some crime-ridden neighborhoods feel safe.
During a news conference at a Bridgeport police station, Emanuel returned to a well-worn anecdote of a mother who stopped him to say that increased police foot patrols in her neighborhood made her feel comfortable enough to allow her child to walk to school.
When pressed if that encounter represented a belief on his part that people in violent neighborhoods feel safer, Emanuel said, "We're not going to rest until people feel the reality of these numbers."
So...crime is down, some people feel safer in the hood, kids are walking to school in these "Safe Passage" zones, and Rahm wants to spread the good vibes all over Chicago because, you know, there are some spots that just aren't getting the "crime is down" message.
So why is Rahm fucking with the police, the very people who have made it possible for him to go out and tell these tales of crime reduction, lowered homicides, fewer shootings, less maimings, and safety, sunshine and unicorns for all the peoples? Why are we going on a second year without a contract? Why is Rahm dangling the "missed letter = no retro" over all of our heads? Why was he actively attempting to tie our pension alterations to the bill muscled through Springfield? And why is he openly stating he is going to use the Springfield "reform" as a road map to reduce our pensions?
We didn't see him out here in the real world. He wasn't doing anything except reducing the numbers of police on the force and watching the homicide number skyrocket last year. Now he's claiming credit for everything good that happened?
Unless all of this is just numbers manipulation and CompStat is nothing more than a statistical smoke screen to hide the real numbers?
Could that really happen?

The pensions are not going to stay the way they are now. They are going to change and you will just have to wrap your heads around that..
MIkey Shields our 35 year old mature, wise , soft spoken savvy intelligent FOP president will look out for us and put us first before himself.
I am being Sarcastic
now he wants to use us again!!give us a fair contract,pension,and healthcare!WE HAVE BEEN DOIN MORE WITH LESS!U R ALL OVER THE NEWS ABOUT US!PUT UP!!
And notice, Rahm shows No Emotion as he speaks...the same monotone...the same sound for each and every speech he gives whether it is the same subject or it is a different subject. He exudes no emotion. Stiff as a board. Ready to blow everyone off when he's finished with them. He'll be cold and chilly when he reduces the pensions..better believe it. His crime show stinks. Say No to
Democrats.
WOW!!

We all knew Donahue and his crew were in the city's pocket. Tom Pleines's email account when he was at FOP has been frozen.
Aguilar, Benn, Bierig, Donahue, Dougherty and Geiger could not be reached for comment. YEA GO FIGURE!!!
Maybe Da Mayor's good crime stats are like his buddy Da President's rosy economic and employment stats. Those honorable gentlemen would not lie and make up numbers.
BTW, what did I tell you people a day or so ago and even before that? The Bears are a powerful NFL steam locomotive rolling over their opponents. Take my free advise and next game put your 10G on the Bears.
So why is Rahm fucking with the police, the very people who have made it possible for him to go out and tell these tales of crime reduction, lowered homicides, fewer shootings, less maimings, and safety, sunshine and unicorns for all the peoples?

Why you ask? Cuz Mickey Mouse Shields just proclaimed to the IGs office and the media that the last couple contracts were all a sham. That Donahue and the rest of the crooks sold us down the river to enhance their own post CPD life and income. That's some heavy ass accusations to be making unless you have some hellafied evidence to support your claims Mikey Mouse. We all know there's shenanigans going on at FLOP but this is deep and has the potential to sink a lot of people and possibly the union if true. Hope your ducks are lined up otherwise you will be a marked man til forever. Tomorrows meeting will be the best/worse ever in my 26 years I'm sure.
Trib lied. There are 411 homicides in Chicago as of today(412 if the man shot this afternoon in the head unfortunately(or fortunately, you sick minded bastards lol) dies).
But I think I read some where that police records take a week to update and seeing as we surpassed 400 homicides last weekend, I could be wrong and the Trib is just going off current police records.
I did not Lie,I miss Quoted myself.
'raim-man' politics.
word salad speeches will not help.
chicago's leadership needs to seek help
Occupational psychosis is the concept that one's occupation or career makes that person so biased that they could be described as psychotic. Especially common in tight occupational circles, individuals can normalize ideas or behaviours that seem absurd or irrational to the external public.
In the mental health field, schizophasia, commonly referred to as word salad, is confused, and often repetitious,
like 'crime is down, crime is down'... 4 minutes to wapner...one minute to crime stats...

in clouted circles surround with yes men you lose touch with reality
Crime is down! 017 had 6 armed robberies on 3rd watch last night.
"So why is Rahm fucking with the police, the very people who have made it possible for him to go out and tell these tales of crime reduction, lowered homicides, fewer shootings, less maimings, and safety, sunshine and unicorns for all the peoples?" You Ask.
Because deep down inside he hates the police. Just like every liberal in America, somewhere inside their fabric, their soul, they have to hate the police. Otherwise, why be a liberal. Sometimes they try to hide it, like when we do something good that can't be ignored, but sooner or later they turn on us like wild dogs on a meat wagon. There is absolutely no political gain from being friends with the police. Every time they fuck with us they get extra votes from the black community and from the white liberals. The only mayor who was cozy with the police was Jane Byrne, and that didn't work out too well for her. Think about it, the old man hated us (contrary to public belief), Harold had no use for us, Richie hated us, and now the Rahmster. If all the active and retired police got together and talked all of their relatives and friends into not voting for Rahm, we could muster up about 30,000 votes (and I'm being generous here). We could add in the firemen and teachers, and that would help, but we all have alot of the same friends and relatives. By being our enemy he quadruples that vote with ease. And now, you can add all of the hate out there for our pensions. When I came on the job they told us "everybody hates the police" and it didn't take long to find that out. That still rings true today, maybe more than ever.
I call totalbullshit
What the hell is with this last-ditch effort by Shields to save his job? This guys time in office has already been a train wreck; if he can't provide any sort of proof to his allegation, they'll still be talking about this clown in another 50 years. All I can do is shake my head in complete disbelief as to how pathetic this administration has become.
squeal like a pig

Bombshell: FOP president says contracts ‘fixed’
Fighting for survival, Fraternal Order of Police President Mike Shields is making an explosive allegation: that the last two police contracts dictated by an independent arbitrator were “fixed” and that the recent sergeants’ contract may also have been “rigged.”
Shields leveled the stunning charges Monday in a letter to Inspector General Joe Ferguson, demanding an investigation. A copy was delivered to FOP board members, including a handful of potential rivals whom Shields is now accusing of being in cahoots with the city.
http://www.suntimes.com/24418096-761/bombshell-fop-president-says-contracts-were-fixed.html
remember...every man for themselves...survival of the fittest..hoo-ray for me and eff-you should be chicago's motto on the great seal
Anyone that thinks the problems with our union started when Shields got elected needs their fucking head examined. Expect revelations like you couldn't imagine if things get really ugly and certain people feel like they have to go "all in". There's a ton of skeletons in FOPs closet, and the vast majority are owned by the remnants of the Donahue & Co. regime.
12/15/2013 03:12:00 AM
As I said the other day, expect the skeletons to come out of their closets when it's crunch time. Truth be told, I didn't think they'd make such a hasty exodus from those closets... Shields is going Pearl Harbor on the remnants of Marky Mark's funky bunch. And I love it.
What I didn't cut and paste from my prior submission is how Rue St. Michel's (sp?) contributions on the matter at hand is little more than a shameless promotion of personal agendas.
Tomorrow's general FOP meeting promises to be as racous as they come. I can't wait to see how many a-holes March up to the table to retrieve their letter of intent to run as the next FOP President.
Typical slimy politician. Take all of the credit when things appear to be going well and none of the blame when things break bad.
Rahm has almost palpable disdain for first responders, police in particular. Instead of thanking us for a job well done he's continually trying to reach deeper into our pockets. Asshole.
Shields just fucked us AGAIN, check out the Scum-Times... What a fucking moron....
Holy fuck have you just seen the sun times wtf is shields thinking?.. I hope you have proof you ass!,,
OT: Did Bruce Rauner set up Illinois Policy Institute's meeting with Rahm?
Chicago, Illinois - This week, Matt Paprocki, Director of Governmental Affairs for the Illinois Policy Institute (IPI), admitted that Illinois Policy Institute has
been meeting privately with Rahm Emanuel's staff. The admission was made in an email to Rich Miller's Capitol Fax (http://capitolfax.com/2013/12/10/more-
disinformation/) and published on the site, which referenced a private September 30th meeting.
According to a new report in the Guardian, the Illinois Policy Institute (IPI) is simultaneously seeking a $40,000 private grant
(https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/842271-spn-budget-proposals-state-by-state.html) to "campaign for reform of Chicago's public employee system."
In its proposal, IPI said that, ‘Mayor Emanuel has privately expressed the need for 401(k)-style changes to truly achieve reform.”
Do tell. How does the Illinois Policy Institute know about Emanuel's "private" positions?

Yeah? The fuck they are pal, not before we bring this city to a fucking bankruptcy first.
There's no fucking way in hell any city employee should ever accept getting fucked in the ass by this little shitheel or the general assembly.
This SCOIL has repeatedly defined that pensions are protected from diminishment, and repeatedly outlined exactly what that means. There isn't any possible way they can deny that question when asked now, no legal reason.
So unless the state files for bankruptcy (which it cannot do) there's no way the SCOIL has a legal standing to diminish pensions or otherwise impair ANY contract within the state of IL. They don't have the authority to allow the state to not pay it's contractual obligations as that then grants the legal precedence for the state to not pay ANY contractual obligation it chooses not to.
And that includes CHICAGO as well.
Not a chance pal, we'll bring this shit to light in a Chicago bankruptcy and make them ALL take a haircut before we take a fucking penny less that what is legally owed. Witness the power of the masses in Detroit, where retirees and employees told them to go fuck themselves..... and now the fucking they thought they were gonna put on employees alone is now getting spread across EVERYONE to bear, which is NOT what they wanted to do. So now, the threat against pensions greater than any other creditor is gone and they must now show REAL numbers that will affect their cronies as well.
Good luck conning some other fucktards shithead, we aren't listening.

Well the national media is drinking the kool aid now.
Suh-prise, suh-prise! Bill Ruthhart and Jeremy Gorner of the Chicago Tribune *almost* committed some random acts of real journalism here. Their article has some real gems in it, if you look closely, to wit:
1) 'When Emanuel took office in 2011, McCarthy disbanded....strike forces that focused on high-crime areas'... ~~~~snip~~~ After the Pendleton slaying, the administration moved 200 officers...and spent heavily on overtime to flood 20 dangerous neighborhoods with additional police'.
Back in the day, real Tribune reporters would have seen right through the incompetency in what McJersey & Tiny Dancer did there; Disband Strike Forces that focused on Da Hood, but then oops, we have to flood Da Hood with Coppers 'cause we disbanded the Strike Forces (a distinction without a difference). Now someone like ... oh ... George Bliss... would've followed up with hard questions or made some pretty ball-busting comments after that asinine move by Chi's 'Dynamic Duo'.
2) 'Emanuel pointed to a Yale University professor's report that concluded that Chicago is on pace (blah, blah, blah -- Crime is down -- blah, blah). The 20-page Yale analysis was compiled by Andrew Papachristos, a Chicago native... ~~~snip~~~ Asked...if he was surprised...the Emanuel administration pointed to the report as evidence that its crime-fighting tactics are working, Papachristos laughed. "The last few pages of my report are clear: I don't say the decrease is attributable to anything,"
(rotflmao!) You're BUSTED 9.5! The Prof is laughing at your line of Bullshit. So are you gonna get out your fave Steak Knife and scream, Dead-Dead-Dead, while stabbing his report? Or are you just gonna confront him someday in a gym Shower while you're butt-naked (again) and threaten him? (ya fricken Pervert)
Believe what you want fellow Chicagoans, but I am in the game and here is what I see:
The current superintendent has a Compstat program to sell. It has some merits, but no one thing is a panacea to crime. Mr McCarthy is desperately trying to sell it as such.
To that end he has stripped the taxpayers of police service in order to flood the ghetto areas with police. This has been done to lower the "shootins" and "killings". Mr McCarthy believes these are the most important numbers for the good citizens of Chicago. The victims of these crimes are primarily gang bangers, so I believe Mr McCarthy and the Mayor have missed their mark. Why are we spending all this money to keep gang bangers from killing themselves off? They are the enemy are they not? Spare me the 'society needs to help these at risk kids". I am only concerned with protecting good citizens here.
The legitimacy of any other crime numbers dropping are dubious at best. There are no police officers to take those reports. They are off protecting the bangers. Spin it any way you want Mr Mayor, Mr McCarthy. You are certainly not looking out for the good citizens welfare. You are looking out for yourselves.
SCC you just don't get it! Elitists like the Daleys and Rahm think cops and firefighters are Working Class Slobs. They have no more respect for you than they do for a piece of furniture. And like a piece of furniture they will use you then expect to dispose of you. If you doubt me think of the way Mrs. Daley and Rahm's family treat their Bodyguard Detail, and coppers are dumb enough to allow themselves to be treated that way. Let them hire private security.
A vote for Rauner is a vote for Rahm.
I guess tax's the hell out of the citizens of chicago blame it on pensions but don't say a word on the welfare abusers who sell their link cards at the arab stores and the illegal aliens that have numerous kids and collect welfare, medical, education. oh ya the judges and part time job alderman will collect full pension.
we need to start taking picture of these welfare rats that can run like the wind and jump fences like gazels with their several Obama phones, multiple link cards while driving Cadillac escalades or the illegal alien that don't have a license cause it suspended or revoked who scraps metal while driving hazardous vehicles and get paid cash(they pay no taxes) who probably makes more money a day than a cop then plus collecting welfare check, medical and welfare. but the city workers who have family too don't receive what they signed up for. the city is screwing the people that play by the rules.
Obama likes him so I like him.
if were doing a great job why don't we have a contract? the teacher stuck together but cop wont.
Yes, I'm a dinosaur that still has the Trib delivered to the house.
The headline for the wood pulp edition differs from the web edition that you posted. In bold type, that headline is "LESS CRIME, MORE WORK!" and then the article reads the same. Just pointing out the manipulation available to the way stories can be presented and how everything I read today is suspicious.
The print edition ends the same way with an acknowledgement that the Yale author of the study says he never drew the conclusions being represented by Rahm.
My 1st thought after reading the the last paragraph this a.m. was that the headline should have been, "RAHM TWISTS FACTS FROM YALE PROFESSORS'S STUDY".
athe professor's words for those who did not read the article are, "The last few pages of my report are clear: I didn't say the the decrease [in crime] is attributable to anything" he said. "I think that that's what happens in the political world, right?"
The reporters that did that story are obviously morons for disregarding that statement and leaving it as just a footnote for the last paragraph. It is the most noteworthy quote in their biased report.
"...You'd think that Rahm (and Garry) put on capes this past year and ran around in a super-powered automobile and were throwing the handcuffs on everyone who looked at them cross-eyed..."
SNL's Ambiguously Gay Duo strikes again!

Joe Fergusen wouldn't be the guy to go running to. Fergusen reports to Rahm and is employed by the City. And he isn't law enforcement. US Attorney is appropriate. Fardon would determine if there was anything to it or if it was all bullshit.
Sounds to me like the union is imploding, prelude to the Big Bang. I hope someone is watching the bank account.

With a union hall full of lunatics we won't have any choice.
Nice to know the non tax paying ghetto areas are more safe while high tax paying areas see record robberies and burglaries..Let's call it what it is.. this is reverse racism!!
I would say let's go marching.. But I'm too busy at my job to go marching though.
Five years ago before retiring from the statiscally busiest Area in the City I warned the VP of FOP that the continuing downgrading of reported crimes by the patrol divison and certain supervisors in the Area would lead to a reduction in manpower because of fewer reported crimes. We were routinley reading reports that were Index Crimes, Robbery, reduced to Theft, Burglary reduced to Theft or damage to Property, Theft reduced to Lost Property all in the name of STATS'. District Commanders would call the area Sgts and Dets' to take a look at crimes/reports so THEIR numbers wouldnt look out of line. It's been a scam going on for years and it will be used to affect manpower which has a direct affect on the pension contributions of the employee and employer.
Geez I thought u said Bruce Rottner. Thank God that's a distant bad memory.
Does the mayor know this boss in charge of his detail watching his house also wants them to patrol his neighborhood? Are they not there to watch his house, front and back. But since the district is so short officers have them leave their post so no crime happens a block away or 2 blocks or across the tracks lol what is it you moron? They sit there like targets for the mayor. What a joke that is, bring all the officers back in the district and get your bodyguards watching his house or open up bid spots.
The pensions are not going to stay the way they are now. They are going to change and you will just have to wrap your heads around that..
all im saying is if city can afford to pay for welfare rats programs and illegals alien programs then they can pay their debt to people that played by the rules their employee's. wrap your head around a bat you fool. your soft as a grape.
are the pensions gonna change for the judges or the politician that pull double pensions? a lot of officers work 30 years on the police force risking their life defending sheep from these opportunistic savages and the city is trying to take the food off their table and giving it to people that are welfare abusers and illegal aliens for votes.
The pensions are not going to stay the way they are now. They are going to change and you will just have to wrap your heads around that..
billions and billions of dollars sent to foreign countries and the government cant take care of their debt with the American citizens that work their entire life. we bail out numerous countries and forgot their debts and sent jobs away. wrap your head around that. traitors!!!
I'd love to see the numbers for Cook County going back 20 years.
that would be interesting
how many suburban murders
Rahm soon to become a one term mayor, is a liar and so are the statistics. Break-ins in the Lawndale Christian Fitness center parking lot are increasing, not going down. Assaults and robberies on female owned beauty shops are increasing. It is said by females patronizing these shops and other places where females frequent, out of money, grab youre gun or a bunch of thugs and head to the beauty shop. Of course, noting is being done, these are just a bunch of hysterical females. Liars, their pants are on fire.

Can Not happen, the bosses are idiots and scared. The officers are there to protect the mayor, his family and home that is all, the neighborhood he lives in is patrolled by beat officers. Unless the mayor wants you walking or driving away from protecting his house and family to check the streets near by Do not leave your post.

So your saying Brian is doing this? He's a commander really a patrolman with a goldstar and going to suck commanders pension from our vacant pension fund! That guy say it ain't so!
I talked my neighbor 1 of rahms valets he said rahm is really pissed at shields maybe mike struck a nerve lets hope so! If rahm wanted to save taxpayers millions why have so many coppers assigned to him? He could hire cheap security guards and save taxpayers and pension fund millions why not? Why is rahm chauffeured around in a big black Tahoe while he says he is the green mayor why not a Toyota Prius? Why are his kids given a detail?
