Crime is Down!
Pay no attention to these weekend headlines:
- Man, 61, held on $75K in fatal East Garfield Park stabbing of home health aide
- Police: Man fatally shot in Englewood, 2 others shot
- Shootings leave 1 dead, 5 hurt
- 3 stabbed, 1 fatally, in South Shore neighborhood
- $5 million bond for man charged with strangling neighbor
- Man shot in leg in West Pullman
And that's just part of Friday evening into Saturday afternoon. There's still all of Sunday to go, but a rough count is eight wounded by gunfire, two dead by gunfire, four stabbed - two of which died, and a strangulation - 5 dead, 10 wounded? In under 36 hours? Yeah, McCarthy has a handle on everything.
Do the bloggers at HeyJackass.com have a March 2014 v 2013 comparison up?
And as a side note - 22 days, and not a single legal gun owner has had to answer questions in a criminal investigation, nor shot down innocent passersby, nor committed any overt act that might be considered questionable.

And it was even exceptionally warm. When the weather finally does break, it's going to be bedlam.
Crime is down so often I'm amazed there is any at all!
March 1-22 2014: 19 homicides

rahm and gary's common sense crime control.
let 80 convicted murderers out of illinois prisons and then demand tighter background checks for law abiding gun owners.
who's side are they on.
And this was on a day when it was what, almost 60 degrees for about 4 hours??
Look out Spring!
One bright spot, criminals are learning to use knives instead of guns. Maybe a sign that Chicago's strict gun laws are working.
Any of these folks sign up for Obama care?
Just axin
Hey wait a minute!
Wasn't the resident God of Modern Policing JUST rotating his dentures @ 72hrs ago about how he alone has reduced crime in Chicago to historic lows?
>Squat<
"And what color do you want today's bullshit to be?"
>GRRRUUUUNT! - THUD!<
"There ya go!"
Those strategies of McFailure are really taking root now huh?
Does that asswipe even listen to himself?
The FOP run off is a choice of the lesser of two evils. Dougherty has not given me him a single reason to vote for him. No matter how he spins it he bears some responsibility for us losing the retro and a years pay raise. His experience and the contract still be negotiated doesnt cut it. Angelo will continue with the contract and we are only getting what the sgts and Lts got anyway. Angelo for all his faults cant be worse. Bill has told to many lies. I voted Angelo.
It NEVER fails. Once Gary claims crime is down, the fine gang bangers (and/or neighbors) of Chicago show him why it's a bad idea to pat your self on the back to early.

"They heard gunfire and realized they were shot..."
D'oh.
Not counting police involved killings I believe we are one up on last March 2014s body count
Anyone catch the Rahm slip this week on Chicagoland. Principle Dozier visits him because her big million dollar grant from Prince Obama runs out. Rahm tells her that he will find money for her after he solves the pension issue. Nice, no money for my pension and to make the payment that is the LAW, but you will find money for the children.
Tell Dozier to set up a Thunder Dome at her school and charge admission. She can make lot's of money....

Thanks for the laugh, Office. :D
Last month's spin was that crime was down for 6 straight quarters even though March hadn't started yet to count it as part of the quarter.
This last week's spin was that gang shootings are down significantly from the past 2 years.
He had to do it knowing that the homicide count went up in February compared to last year and that March count was ahead of last year's pace with 10 days to go.
Can't wait for next month's spin. LOL.
Ahhh for the good old days when murderers squat down in the Electric
Chair at Cook County Jail for the
last time and the late Warden Jack
Johnson pulled the lever and put
them out of their and the public's
misery. How times have changed.
Bring back the death penalty here
in Illinois and enforce it.
one appeal, check to see if there
were mitigating circumstances, if
not, strap them to the gurney and
end their life. If they did not
place a value on life, theirs or
someone else's, a log prison sentence will not change their mind.
Isn't it true that the FBI (UCRI) will not accept Chicago's stats because we don't follow the Uniformed Crime Reporting Index rules. In other words Chicago lies
Somehow some way it's the law abiding citizens fault.
My district commander is contributing to crime reduction! He came to roll call on Saturday. He thanked us for all of our fine work. Then he told us we are not doing enough. We need more ANOVs, contact cards, blah, blah, blah. His hands shook as he told us that "they" are demanding this at headquarters. We are too cynical-we can't be that way anymore. We should all be happy; after all none of us has a three year old child with cancer, so our lives are good. His door is open but don't use it; talk to your supervisor. He doesn't trust anyone who works at his child's high priced private school. Yeah....I went out and produced all kinds of activity after suffering through that cuckoo "pep talk".
Not to worry. A fresh crop of merit sergeants are headed straight to your local HGS offices where they will assist the merit lieutenants efforts to CCX the homicides and aggravated batteries/ handgun! Most couldn't close a case with an arrest to save themselves.
The foot guys in 019 will take care of crime.
A lot of shootings in #012 with in the last four weeks! I guess the three day off groups is not working huh ....
One shot in Hegewisch last night. Don't jump to conclusions. Victim is Mr. Joe Section Eight.
It never ceases to amaze me how many officers
here will bash the strategies, yet will absolve
themselves of any blame for crime that occurs
on the beats they patrol daily. Amazing.
McCarthy should, but doesn't, realize his strategies are just that- strategies. Criminals don't fear the police and can be in more places than the police can. After all, why should they feel incarceration when the governor and Madigan want to release thousands of career criminals because of budget woes. His strategies are just to appease the public and the black Aldermen to keep his spot.
P.S. I hope he gets his Bronx ass kicked by one of Chicago's Bravest.
An armed citizenry is the best deterrent to crime. How ironic that those who are supposed to lead the fight against crime do everything in their power to block those same citizens from protecting themselves against crime.

Just look for old Garry at Belden and Kenmore. Thats MY beat. He's there all the time.
And? Where do you go out? Your moms basement? Loser. Like a
Fu%#%ng kindergartner.
Crime is down? 2 dead and 19 wounded over the weekend as of 8 AM on Sunday. When is the media going to call this guy out on his bullshit. McCarthy has a personal agenda and the media is afraid to tell that punk to his face.
OT--
All kinds of whining and bitching bursts forth from "inconvenienced" trendies when the police have to stop traffic on LSD for a few hours to apprehend a crazed murder suspect, but silly s__t like this is OK.

Hey SCC> Can/would you post a FOP poll for us uninformed coppers, both active and retired as to who is best choice for the presidential runoff for both groups?
Keep it to a name and a yeah or nay.
I don't know if it's time or technologically feasible for you to keep people from posting multiple times by monitoring IP addresses.
I voted for a guy that didn't make the cut and now am faced with choosing from two who each have serious issues based on what I've read here and both have ties to our last dismal Governing board.
Thanks for this forum you provide to us all. Even for the sophomoric grammar polices among us. LOL
OT...
To the fighting deuce and U of C PD, thank you.
...and there was just another one. Can hardly tell the news reports apart anymore, they come so close together

This jag-off was lucky!

Spring Time in Chiraq! Ain't it grand?
Only two shot out of 8 homicides last week. Gun violence is down!

Yes, SCC, please post a poll in which anyone, even civilians who live in Paris, can vote yea or nay. It will be really helpful.
And push that magic button you have, to keep everyone from voting twice or twenty times, or whatever.

If he told Dozier he will find her the money AFTER the pension issue is dealt with, he was really telling her he won't be finding her any money til hell freezes over.

Dont see why you blame McCarthy if you say criminals are in more places than police and because of budgets Madigan and Quinn want early release. What can he do about that?
P.S. Why dont you get in the ring with him and kick his ass,toughguy?
Officers:
I'm gone a few years(boss).I told the D/C and 35th that I could no longer stand in front of men & women who place their lives on the line every night, the bullshit spewed from them.
Dozier is a piece of shit and got rid of 2 very good PO's @ fenger.
One of the many reasons to go.
Be Safe.
One thing that I have mentioned before and will again... Aummition is plentiful this year compared to last. You can get 380 and 9 fairly easily. The savage has restocked.
Do I carry CCW? The Savage will find out. Maybe yes, maybe no......
Spring break be just around the corner and I is gonna go gangster and go pop, pop, pop. I is sick n tired of doin' homework.
Money for fenger is a waste of hard earned tax payer money . Fund pensions for people of every race that put lives on the line everyday, 24-7 , not on the thugs that beat each other with 2x4's .
Anybody else realize that the new Ford cruisers are only getting 10 miles per gallon. I actually got to get out if my cruiser twice a week to fill up.

Completely off topic and I apologize. When you pray for Dave Harris' family tonight, may the Lord keep them always in his sight, please also remember another police hero; Detective Martin Tully 006th District, A2 VC and Republic of Vietnam class of '66.

If crime is down, then one would think that GMAC would have enough time to show up to a fallen officers wake, at least for St. Jude. What was I thinking.
Nanci Koschman to Sue Over Civil Rights Violation
NBC Chicago
Citing a cover up by police and prosecutors the mother of David Koschman says she will sue in federal court over a violation of civil rights.
You Go Nanci!
Hey DW, better make that a double.
ROTFL - Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night.
Yes 9:08AM The FBI do not accept our numbers.
I can't wait for the first 80 degree weekend. That's when Mcfuckstick will give birth to his first baby this year. A lot of pent-up shithead frustration will be let out like a hot air balloon. It should be very entertaining.

Sport, if you are a troll, who cares? If you are the police, you let this job steal your humanity and have become a worthless shell who knows only how to offer up ugliness to this world. Man but do I hope you neither have a wife or kids. CPD still has free psychologists available. Do yourself a favor and make an appointment.
