A Call for McJersey's Resignation
This is the first time we've seen a public official calling for McCarthy's head:
- State rep Ken Dunkin says he's had enough and so have his constituents. "After three years now, this mayor and this so-called chief of police can't figure out what the hell to do," he says. "The least the mayor could do is terminate Garry McCarthy immediately and get a superintendent who knows this city and is moving toward some strategies that will save it."
In short, Dunkin isn't pleased, and he speaks for a growing number of south- and west-siders.
Last weekend, in what's become a rite of spring, the casualty count rose along with the temperature, and by the time Easter was over at least nine people had been killed and more than 40 others shot.
Given who Dunkin represents, Rahm is going to be hard pressed not to address this in some way.

Nice.
Fuck you Dunkin you are a political whore and a piece of shit. You KNOW what the real cause is. A disproportionate amount of your constituents refuse to act like civilized human beings, and whenever reasonable steps are taken to correct this or even just discussed, you, the crazy chipmunk, the fake revs etc... pull the race card out and complain. Fuck you again. Maybe the best thing we could hope for is that a asteroid lands on the southern half of your gerrymandered district, then we'll see a real drop in crime rates. It's a shame when we have to talk like this, but it's the truth.
The question is: why has it taken this long?
Nice to see them turn on each other and eat their own. Maybe this will also foretell a one term mayor.
This Gang thing is bigger than McCarthy. Change the man, the story stays the same. The Police need to be allowed to be Police....attorneys won't let that happen.
ChiRaq Resign
FLOP Speak up!!!!!!
Talk of a no confidence vote will push him over the edge
Dean be the leader you talked about NOW!!!
The Bronx Bomber is finally making some headway on the crime problem. This the appreciation he gets. The representative is probably a Tea Party favorite.
I am sure the superintendent wants out too. Jesus Christ couldn't stop the carnage in this cesspool. Raccoon Eyes will replace him with an African American boss. A Black police boss won't get 10% of the flack a White boss will get. After the mayor pays off all of the competition he will win another term. Chicago will continue to slide into a Waste land like Detroit.
Just a political cat fight.
I'm NOT endorsing Garry McCarthy (at least he is not an abject coward like his predecessor J-FLED).
However, based on his position on other issues affecting the CPD, Dunkin is a world-class asshole that should be ignored.
The community needs to elect Tea Party conservatives and eliminate IPRA. At that time peace will blanket Chicago.
America
Hire the 2,237 officers we're short! Fix our broken cook county judicial system. Enforce the laws that are already on the books. Enough of the BOX and EVENT numbers already. Lets get back to doing police work.
Maybe they can make Cmdr Evans of 011 the superintendent. Be careful what you aks for, you just might get it. Cmdr Evans would have these fools on their ears in about 5 minutes.
Hey FOP, I know most of you were never the fucking police but this is called a clue. Vote of no confidence for this McDrunk immediately. And if you had any balls a vote of no confidence for the Mayor. You won't cause you love the taste and bending over.
Dunkin is an arrogant douche, but on this I applaud him.
We can only hope.

Yeah Rahmbo and McCarthy are out there shooting all these folks every day and even more on nice days. "Couldn't figure out what to do" he says. Given that the most viable options are most likely unconstitutional, how 'bout the idiots stop shooting each other?
I read that name as Tur Duckin. Yum, tasty State Reps.
Never let a good crises go to waste
Dunkin knows the west and south sides can't be fixed unless the majority of the residents are moved out of the city.
He's just doing some bull-horn yellin' to extort Emanuel.
He either wants $$$ or he wants Joisey bounced so a friend or stooge of his can get the spot.
WTF time for a change
Time to take him fishin like in God Father II
Never gonna happen. Just like there are calls for Eric (the Red) Holder's resignation, but he is still here.
The real problem is the democratic voters.
"Every time dude gets kilt, another devil gets his horns!" from the movie classic "A Miserable Life" - 2014.
new strategy ?
I am not a McCarthy fan but let's call it like it is. These people are savages with no family structure or discipline, living their lives like a rap video, and why not there are no consequences, no jail time, before video phones police took care of the problems but now you got everyone video taping and the police hands are tied. Congratulations you got the society you wanted now live with it!
Love his donuts.
He represents donuts, right?
Money quote: "The least the mayor could do is .... get a superintendent who knows this city..."
That's the whole problem with McJersey, and always has been been. Hell, that's why he *is* McJersey. It's not only that he isn't from here, it's that he doesn't like it here. And he never will. He's from Noo York, that's how those arrogant assholes are. The world revolves around THEM. As far as they're concerned the Sun rises and sets on Times Square.
And McShitForBrains lets that NY superiority be known every time he talks, how superior all NY laws are over IL's and Chicago's; "In New York, our laws this...." ~~~ "In New York, our laws that..." ~~~ "In New York...blah blah blah blah."
Isn't that why he reorganized the entire CPD structure and and policing in general? That 'us rubes' in Chicago don't know what the fuck we're doing. That 'we' should heed our betters in the East, like HIM, and whatever they do it's better.
Yeah...well...screw you Garry. You like New York and its laws so much, go back and pronto. Get the fuck out of here.

CRIME IS DOWN - Wave of shootings leaves 4 dead, 18 wounded since Friday afternoon
6:27 a.m. CDT, April 26, 2014
"At least four people have been killed and 18 wounded in a wave of shootings on Chicago's South, West and Southwest sides since Friday afternoon...
* 86-year-old man...killed in a neighborhood dispute involving an off-duty police officer Friday afternoon. Authorities said the officer's neighbor shot and injured the officer's wife about 2:15 p.m., prompting the officer to fatally shoot the neighbor in self-defense and then shoot the neighbor's wife after she picked up a shotgun her husband had been holding.
[Whatever this was, it went on for at least ten years, according to Channel 2 News.]
* 2:05 a.m. in the 5500 block of West North Avenue...17-year-old boy was standing outside when someone dressed in all black approached from behind and shot him in the head,
[Just had a fatal hit-and-run over there, 4-times-down loser on parole]
* 21-year-old man was fatally shot in the 5400 block of South Winchester Avenue...struck in the chest and pronounced dead on the scene at 1:30 a.m.
* Same address, 19-year-old woman was shot in the leg
* 10:35 p.m., police heard shots fired in the 11500 block of South Laflin Street...32-year-old woman shot inside...parked vehicle...pronounced dead at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn at 12:32 a.m.
"In other shootings:
* Four men shot 2700 block West 42nd Street about 12:40 a.m. The men were standing on the sidewalk when a dark-colored van drove by and shots rang out... 20-year-old man struck in the head...critical condition at Mount Sinai....critically injured 23-year-old man, struck in the chest...22-year-old and a 27-year-old man, both struck in the shoulder
* 17-year-old girl...critical condition...shot in head 2:35 a.m. 1300 block of South California Avenue
* 12:40 a.m. this morning, two teenagers shot in leg the 5100 block of South Wood Street
* 10:20 p.m. Friday, 24-year-old man shot 400 block North Hamlin Avenue
* 10:10 p.m., two 18-year-old men shot near intersection of West 31st Street and South Drake Avenue. One shot in the head, critical condition...other suffered a graze wound
* Friday night 37-year-old man shot in the 10000 block of South Normal Avenue about 10 p.m...struck in the throat...critical condition,
"* 7:32 a boy under the age of 17 was shot in the back on the 4800 block of West Rice Street when he was shot in the back, police said.
[You can say that again!]
* 7:14 p.m. two people shot 8000 block of South LaSalle Street, 22-year-old man shot in the head, chest, buttocks and leg...serious condition. An 18-year-old man was shot in the leg
"* Friday afternoon's first shooting happened at 1:18 p.m. when an 18-year-old man was shot in the ankle in the Bronzeville neighborhood...The man was not being cooperative with police. The man gave police various locations where the shooting had occurred..."
[So be that way. They will come back and finish the job real soon.]

...and now sports.
Honestly... We can deploy the National guard in certain Chicago neighborhoods and nothing will change! No home structure, Broken public school system, No truth in sentencing and no real reason to work when the government continues to hand out free programs for all who ask.
Im mortified.
I left the city after I retired. I do not know this guy McCarthy but the whole blame is not his. It started with the worthless CAPS program and the touchy , feely police concept. Chicago now has the police department that Daley wanted. It is completely political with almost all of the exempts meritoriously promoted, any semblance of a semi-military organization is gone and it seems to have even seeped to down to the uniform ( there is none I guess as when I see a picture everyone is dressed differently). Daley got what he wanted.
"The Bronx Bomber is finally making some headway on the crime problem. This the appreciation he gets. The representative is probably a Tea Party favorite."
Tea Party?
Are you a troll or are you simply nuts? Dunkin is an African-American Democrat from Michael J. Madigan's House majority.
Make these parents, if you can even call them that, responsible for their evil spawn. Take their free money away that might open up their eyes! SSI, Public Aid, Welfare, Obama Care, Wick, Section 8.... They don't do a damn thing for this, the politicians made it their birth right. They created this fucking mess but everyone in the media and politicians are afraid talk about it. The Police know because we deal with them everyday.
WHOOOO!
>Shake Shakety-Shake! Pop Pop Poppity-Pop!<
Sheeeeiiit!
Who else has some Jiffy-Pop goin'?
This shit finna get FUUNN!
Just in time for the summer ackka-muthafuckin' fool-a-thin!
Watch Flamin' Tutu crack a hip trying to spin THIS!
Watch the ass hoe media do the same.
But The Police will somehow wear the blame...
More VRI!!!!!!
While we have issues with McDoofus, let's face it: Durkin is a racist cop hater. And no Supe can change the south and west sides.
Sorry Rep Dunkin, but you're knocking on the wrong trying to get rid of McCarthy.
Don't get me wrong. McCarty has his faults - quite a few.
And Rammie The Commie, Mr wants to blast your taxes and won't raid the TIF money to make the pension payments. Well, he can just lick my fucking balls.
But at the end of the day, the police can only be about 90% re-active, less than 10% pro-active. That is a simple fact no matter who is the police chief.
How about having parents actually be parents?
How about having fathers doing something besides just place the order?
How about having the Rerun's turn in some gang-bangers? You know damn well they know who they are.
How about having some Aldermen turn in some gang bangers? Ooops, the gang-bangers are too busy paying off the Aldermen with drug profits.
How about having the judges hand out some stiff sentences? Or is that a little too racist for you?
What about actually keeping the bastards in prison for their full term?
What about cutting the entitlements? All of them. To Zero. Dem folks would be so busy running around trying to come up with cash for food, clothing, and shelter, they just wouldn't have any time for any gang-banging bullshit. Just like normal people.
You want to change McCarthy, go right ahead. But what would you have your new person do differently?
You can change the pilot, but unless you also change course, you will still be flying to the same destination.
Not a cop.
I agree with 05:52
I also agree with 12:13 and with John Northen
Close the beaches.
Will Dunkin call for the termination of parental and breeding rights for the gang banger's useless parents?
rew Dunkin. Unless his constituents start acting right, no supt or mayor can change crime on the south and west sides.
Where is FOP to call for McCarthy's resignation? Where were they to call for J-FLED's resignation?
The stuff they SHOULD put their nose into - they don't.
Get it out of Rahm's ass!!
A NEW superintendent is needed, but it needs to be a REAL man, not a puppet and not some withering "gotta run" poser.
Some military general would be much better to get, than some "poser chief" from some other city.
CPD needs to be restored to a crack force and that means all the clouted, do nothings need to go. That's a TALL order because most of the white shirts are all clouted non-police.
Flush all the do-nothings out and replace them with Iraq and Afghanistan combat vets.
Want a pension - earn it. No more "hide in an alley for the whole shift and watch movies on a DVD player".
Some who complain about bad conditions now, could never go back to working a real job in CPD. AND THAT's PART OF THE PROBLEM AS WELL.
A LOT of reform is needed - both in the city as well as the state.
Whoever is at the top of all these organizations sets the tone. If you had a real leader, you would be motivated to come into work and do a good job. You would want to - because that leader would have your back.
Instead, we have weak leaders which in turn create weak and dysfunctional organizations with subordinates trying to figure out how they too can game the system since all the bosses are doing it.
Sorry, but I as well as many other taxpayers are tired of paying for all this. Time to clean house.
I'll sign that petition! Bye bye gary- don't let the door hit you on the way out. Btw- how does it feel to be on the other end?!

McCarthy isn't all the problem. If you want to build a house and all you have is a hammer and screwdriver how much will be built.? If the city needs 13000-14000 police and mayor only gives him 9ooo ( if that ) what can he do?? We can start the blame of the shortage with Shortshanks it started with him
just as soon as the trees start blooming and your nose starts running these fools start shooting each other by the dozens--- it has nothing to do with who is sitting in the big chair--- I'm not a big fan of gmac, but at least he is trying different things instead of maintaining the status quo--- a big hearty f/u to any politician who blames the police for the crime problem in the ghetto....

What will you accomplish with a vote of no confidence? Nothing. The mayor makes the decisions, not the superintendent. I am more concerned with contract negotiations, not crime. Dean is busy cleaning up the mess left by Shields. Give him time. I assume Dean has to wear a ballistic vest every day to work to prevent the back stabbing that happens at FOP.

...and then they whip the race card away, hide it, when we try to take USAG Eric Holder's advice about not being "cowards," try to have his "open discussion" about the overwhelming tide of black crime (not "gun violence") and the need for people to take responsibility for their actions, their families, their future.
Try walking your own kids to school instead of having the city do it. Try fixing them something to eat, instead of demanding that "weekend food packs" be sent home with them from that school.
Fifty years of "The Great Society" and it's come to this -- worse than ever.
Yeah, at this rate...you go, asteroid.
1227 well said
Oh boy! There are some P.O.'s in nice cushy spots with those straight days and weekends off that just shit themselves. When their boy McCarthy is gone those nice spots will be gone as well. Oh well nothing lasts forever and welcome back to what you were hired for. The patrol division.
I believe that McCarty's days are numbered, and I am surprised he has lasted this long. Having said that, this is not all his fault. He can't change a culture that has been dysfunctional for many years, and a police department that is politically controlled and very resistant to change. We need to hire 2,500 coppers and let them be the police, which for many reasons won't happen.
I want McStoopid out too but this has nothing to do with him or the CPD. This is the fault of the Cook County State's attorney office, the courts and judges, and the prison system. They're not charging these fucking scumbags, they're not giving them proper sentences, and they're not keeping them locked up. The police are and have been doing their jobs. They lock these pieces of shit up and the rest of the system lets them back out or doesn't charge them at all. The only way to solve this problem is to start punishing these criminals and keep them off our streets. It doesn't matter how many police you hire, how many laws you pass, and how much talking you do. If we don't start keeping these criminals locked up, this problem is going to get worse. I know it costs money to house these criminals but that can be streamlined and made cost effective and it costs just as much money to let them run around causing chaos in the streets if not more.

+++++++++++++++++
The only douche here is you, and you are an uninformed one at best. NO supe is going to make a difference. I came on in '85 and not one of them has made a difference where violent crime is concerned. They shuffle the deck chairs around but still the ship lists. 600 murders one year, 500 the next then back to 550 and now in the mid to high 400's. As has been said before, a lot of those drops are because of advances in medicine and ambo response and training.
It's not me, or you (I hope) or other coppers or people from Winnetka or Oak Lawn or Beverly or Sauganash killing people in 005, 006, 004, 007, 015 or anywhere else. The shooters live there. Go ahead, change the supe. It will make no difference.
Besides, no matter who it is, everyone will hate him anyway.
He either underestimated the level of entrenchment of our gang problem or overestimated his ability to be the police. One could have been fixed by better intel the other by not believing his own self-promoting
Hire the 2,237 officers we're short! Fix our broken cook county judicial system. Enforce the laws that are already on the books. Enough of the BOX and EVENT numbers already. Lets get back to doing police work.
One of only two comments posted here so far that are truly introspective as to what's wrong with the CPD today. The police need to get back to the business of being THE POLICE. Someone has got to make the guys and gals want to go out there and give a damn, period. We all have to live in this city. Leaving the violent POS douchebags out there and pretending you don't see them puts ALL of our neighborhoods at risk; they jump turnstiles, get ahold of cars, and they're mobile, and they go to affluent areas and rob folks there, too. And the city needs to step up hiring, because so many people have bailed out rather than put up with the crap leadership that has taken over the upper ranks since the Weis/Masters era. We've lost a lot of good bosses who (wisely) chose not to work with the imbeciles who used to be here. Politics has taken far too deep a hold of this dept. now, and it has just about strangled the life out of it. It's going to take a good number of years before the CPD is once again a shining star of a law enforcement agency. And I agree with Northen's post, Dunkin should be ignored completely.
4 dead 26 wounded since Friday afternoon per Chicago Breaking News. Really, how does McCarthy still have a job?
4/26/2014 12:13:00 AM
If you can get Dunkin behind you and get to a position in the city to actually make changes...Then make that point once you are on the inside.
Dunkin knows the problem..but he has to pander for votes from those areas because he couldn't get elected in a paler district due to everyone else knowing what a pathetic hack he is.
More fallout from comstat. I’m hearing 010 has doubled their yearly homicide totals over the last five days starting Easter Sunday. Why that’s a 100% increase. The executive response. More contact cards to meet or exceed the stated quotas. Pure insanity. You can only do so much to curb violence throughout the city. Database enhancement through contact cards is not the solution for the street level violence. Nor is it the most appropriate response addressing violence for comstat meetings. The statistical manipulations of the calculations don’t work either. How about more highly publicized home visits to gangbanging villains will stop the violence. Who knows? How about an event number for all the silliness with no real identifiable solution nor effective strategy to deal with all those violent crimes by all the leaders in this dept. Criticizing others is easy. Calling out nonsense is easier. But the top leadership better start developing some new strategies, new tactics and new solutions for this daily onslaught of bad news before it gets to the point where anarchy prevails. This city may have already surpassed this threshold.
Last year it cost $100,000,000 to save one hundred lives. Our tax dollars to save these savage animals. When will people get it through their heads that Chicago gangs are like no other in the country. There is no modern police tactics or strategy that will be able to handle our predators.
The worse thing about Garry McCarthy is that he constantly lies and says crime is down when its not. No one feels any safer. He needs to stop lying and come out and say "crime is up, hire some more friggin officers!" But hes a coward and would never speak the truth.
Then he steals police resources from taxpaying areas to give to the non tax paying ghetto.
Hes gotta go!!
Commander Evans in 011 is a hands on guy. He is not only on the scenes of trouble but also those spots where he identifies where trouble is percolating. He has a proactive policing strategy by getting into the mix. He is on the radio directing resources taking a definitive, identifiable leadership role. That includes assigning specific tasks to his Sgts. He is a no BS type of guy. He may not solve all problems, but he keeps the criminal element on their feet fearing his blitzkrieg response to the many hot spots. Kudos to you sir and Kudos to the Men and Women who are giving policing their best!
Commander Evans and his policing style through front line leadership should be emulated by other command staff in other crime ridden areas. He exemplifies leadership and he is not afraid to get his hands dirty. Commander Evans is on display for all to see and sets an example for others to follow, not by his words, but through his actions.
Dean is already bought by RAHM, talk is that he might flee the FOP after giving Rahm what he wants regarding the contract.
With his PhD, Rahm thinks he might fit the bill as head of the city colleges. 180K.
Dean got his degrees from Lewis which has the high stabards of Chicago State Univ.
My goldfish can breeze through their advance degree peogram.
Dean prefers to be addressed as Doctor when you speak to him.
His D/L shows, PgD after his name.
Good Lord thank you for us having a doctor as president of FOP.
Second city is doing a skit of "Days to the FOP.". Lot of coverage at Gibsons steak house where they eat on members dime.
Any one see the new BMW the doctor drives now on the new lease.
Shields still has his fop ride and will not give it up until the fop says they are sorry.

Im so sick and tired of my fellow - brother officer's saying racist shit about people who live on the south side of Chicago it angers me that some of u post shit like a android should be dropped on the people who live there. I am a south sider and I have no plans in moving and their are alot of great people residing on that side of time. As for saying Fuck Dunkin he is playing the race card naw dude fuck you MCarthy is doing a poor job and the Mayor needs his ass whipped for bringing a outsider to run our police department when we have some of the best bosses he could have chosen from to run our great city. Our department is totally fucked up since Ralmn took over and made MCarthy the head of the police department ,,,

Not necessarily a McCarthy fan, nut you're 100% correct.
A very simple solution would be to civilianize all of the Bureau Chief positions, 1st Deputy Superintendent and Superintendent jobs. Then bring back some of the knowledgeable bosses that retired in the last decade and let them run the department. No one is going to do it for free and I don't see any former Boss relinquishing his pension for a shot at the Superintendents Job. It's a big job with a lot of political headaches!
Then to appease the African American community have an African American figurehead (i.e Charles Ramsey) as Superintendent and a very strong 1st Deputy. There's our solution!
I know what people are going to ask... Why does it have to be about race? Right? It is still Chicago or "Chiraq" if you will. It's about Politics! Rahm has really lost a lot of ground with the A/A community and if he wants to save face he will NEED to do something to make them happy. He used them to get elected and now without them he will not get reelected. He has pissed them off to no end... All of the $ in the world will not "guarantee" him a reelection.
Peckwinkle is waiting to get reelected to her current County job and then she will announce her candidacy for Mayor. She is winning in every poll out there and she has not even announced running. She is his biggest threat and unless he gets a large % of the A/A's to once again back him, he is done. Then you have Dart slithering in the high weeds just waiting for his opportunity.
I'm not a Rahm fan but in his defense Daley left him holding a bag of shit with the financial state the City was left in. Someone needed to be the "bad guy" and make the cuts and consolidations to attempt to balance the budget... This is why the machine didn't run Dart. They knew that Rahm could only be a one term Mayor given the drastic measures he had to take and the number of people/organizations he would piss off, particularly with the Pension reform.
I'm definitely not a big McCarthy fan either however he was given a very short bench to play with the bosses he inherited or was forced to promote... There's no one left! Wysinger, who is a nice guy but in way over his head got his spot by default. No other viable Black candidate without a ton of baggage (i.e. Ernie Brown, Eugene Williams, Mike Shields, etc...).
I say give Ramsey what he wants, bring him
home and get rid of all the existing Chiefs and fill them with leaders who know what the hell they're doing.
Given the manipulated numbers that repeatedly get released to the media outlets isn't doing enough. DON'T YOU GUYS IN CITY HALL GET IT?
It's not only the BS numbers (alleged decline in murders) the city continuously releases it's the PERCEPTION and overall IMAGE of the City. On a National level we are viewed as one of the worst crime infested cities in America and are the butt to every late night talk show host's jokes...
My guess though is that Rahm presses ahead and keeps McCarthy through the election next year and then they'll both be gone. Rahm will then be off to a nice Washington Job and McCarthy will be back in New York.

Would you believe that the city is spending money to re-invigorate caps with new ideas! They have a team of police officers and community organizers and a lot of federal money to push new caps programs. Maybe it will work this time. NOT!
At least he has the balls to speak up....he's not afraid of Rahm . Maybe our bosses should grow a set! Someone needs to call this stroke on the carpet. I don't care what anyone thinks of him because that all people do is think.... Not talk! Thank you Ken!
The boss at CPD is not to blame for the homicide rate.
The blame lies mostly on the liberal politicians who have, over the past 40 years with their sick agenda and legislation, turned Illinois from a once-livable state into a bastion of welfare dependency, mediocrity, debt, and a total lack of honest values.
Since these same self-serving and myopic politicians keep getting re-elected, the only solution is for each of us to eventually move out of Illinois, as soon as practical.
How about aiming for the stars?
We'd like to see both Rahm and McNutty's resignation.
The 9 digit midget won't piss off his blind voting constituents by putting them in the joint where they belong. He needs all that "oil" they provide to keep the machine rolling. He'll find an "Amish" boss to replace McGoof !!!! Get ready McGoof, the bus is on the way to run you over !!
God, give it a rest, you idiots make it sound like McCarthy is causing all these shootings. No matter what anyone does they will continue. No matter if you put someone in power that you all might want. But I bet even if you had a boss of your choice in his position you whiners would still find something to bitch about.....just sayin
Car 3 was in 002 part of last night chasing gang bangers with guns over at 39 and Cottage. He was out of the car and assisting in the capture of 2 armed gang members. I was there and saw it all myself. Say what you wil, but at least he was out there being the police.
""This Gang thing is bigger than McCarthy. Change the man, the story stays the same. The Police need to be allowed to be Police....attorneys won't let that happen. ""
Never going to happen my friend.
Pity. I do feel for these citizens. Even if they did allow themselves to be politically gelded and mind-fucked by this Liberal,commie,bought off, media.
2 years.
The short term gains of volunteering to work VRI do not outweigh the long-term losses to our pension by the city not hiring more police officers. More officers equals more officers contributing to the pension fund: less officers means less officers contributing to the pension fund. Less money in the pension fund means less money later, and conceivably less pension payments.
Rahm is trying to kill Chicago Police pensions in at least two ways: not hiring more officers, and not making the city's required payoff to the pension fund.
I am showing my displeasure with Rahm by NOT volunteering to work VRI, CHA, CTA or any other "initiative" between June 1 and June 7. I am boycotting any voluntary work initiative on said dates.
GMac's problems as I see them, having his lips too firmly attached to rahm's ass, loving the TV camera too much, thinking he is the smartest guy in the room, and not demoting the most useless of exempts. Which I know can be hard to figure out. Even JFled demoted.
Cmdr. Pena told Gerry bacislly to fuck off at the comstat meeting last week.
She stood up and told him she has no cars no bodies, and that her people are burnt out.
Contact cards wanted by him, she laughed at him. He left shortly and directing to the gin mill.
You go Maria !
Our department is totally fucked up since Ralmn took over and made MCarthy the head of the police department ,,,
I was going to say-Be careful for what you wish for.
BUT, I gotta call 'BULLSHIT' on this guy being the Police...
It's "Rahm", not Ralmn. He didn't bring this Superintendent into Office dumbass...and, by the way it's "McCarthy", not MCarthy.
Geezes... (Oh wait-south sider...that explains it.)

Sure.
Whenever I want to learn more about a politician, I google that persons name, and tack on "asshole" at the end of the string.
When Googling Mr Dunkin, I found this gem in the SCC archive:

I believe McCarthy would be a good boss if Chicago Police Department could become a seperate entity from the fifth floor....... Just sayin

******** URGENT *************
All Cops should Call FOP
Urge Dean to ask for a Vote of No Confidence in McJersey
President Dean be the leader you have talked about Walk the walk
Show us why we elected you

What will you accomplish with a vote of no confidence? Nothing. The mayor makes the decisions, not the superintendent. I am more concerned with contract negotiations, not crime. Dean is busy cleaning up the mess left by Shields. Give him time. I assume Dean has to wear a ballistic vest every day to work to prevent the back stabbing that happens at FOP.
Vote of no confidence for Supt and Mayor. We have nothing to lose.
Crime stats mysteriously erased from the data portal: http://crimeinboystown.blogspot.com/2014/04/garbage-in-garbage-out-city-errors-lead.html
Going out and riding along in a beat car does not make you a good superintendent. Manipulating numbers and covering up crimes to make yourself look good, at the expense of the public does not make you a good superintendent. Demand that your men get the manpower, cars, equipment and the training they need to get the job done.

Spoken like a true scab.
Rat!!
Rahmstein already knows that the ship is going down and going down quick! He already knows what has to be done, but why not wait until election time gets a little bit closer and come out looking like the hero of the black communities. Yes, we'll have to put up with Mc Douche Bag for another summer but rest assured that once the summer comes to a murderous close Mc Douche Bag will be looking like a complete failure for not reestablishing a policing policy that actually works, Rahmstein will give him the boot and bring in a Black Sup. who was nothing more then a meritorious hack and the black community and ALL the Revs will love Rahmstein enough to throw the votes behind him! This shit writes itself!!!

I agree with the vast majority of what you said, especially your comment about "Tom Dart slithering in the high weeds."
Oh boy! There are some P.O.'s in nice cushy spots with those straight days and weekends off that just shit themselves. When their boy McCarthy is gone those nice spots will be gone as well. Oh well nothing lasts forever and welcome back to what you were hired for. The patrol division
Yup Start with The PO Crossing Guard Supervisors

You do what you have to do. I put in for everyday off. But, then again, I'm planning to get the fuck out of here and lateral soon (right under 10 yoj). I love the job, but the politics, taxes, poor schooling, etc... are enough to break a person/family. Quality of life will be better somewhere else.

Sarcasm...I get it.
yup, start with the crossing guard supervisors....
Uh, kids go to school during the day on weekdays, what time would you have them work Sherlock
I know, we'll put school children on a rotating 4-2 schedule like ours and then change watch every 28 days like the old days, that should make you feel better.

Let's start with "just sayin". All of you, stop using it. It makes you sound like some vapid fourteen year old.
Next, McCarthy willingly threw himself into the political mess that is Chicago. He adores the camera. He is a self involved narcissist. He cares about himself first. He parrots the message of the political vermin that are ruining this city and stealing your hard earned money.
If this is your idea of a leader, you have set your sights pretty low.

Don't hate the players, hate the game! All districts used to have CIVILIAN crossing guard supervisors, until the shitty canned them all. Who did you think was going to pick up that slack? Exactly.

Saw Mcstreetlight cruising down 79th street in 004 last night... He looked clueless lol

But you did see him cruising down 79th Street, correct? While you were sitting doing nothing, probably reading this blog from your phone. Who's clueless here, moron?
