Garry on Patrol
- Chicago Police Supt. Garry McCarthy patrolled the streets overnight and helped officers capture a group of armed shooting suspects.
Officers responding to a report of shots fired near 40th Street and Cottage Grove Avenue attempted to question three people walking at nearby 41st Street and Drexel Boulevard, police said.
The suspects ran away when officers approached, and a foot pursuit ensued, police said.
McCarthy was on patrol in the area and helped Wentworth District officers run down the three suspects, police said. Two handguns were recovered during the arrest.
Remember - GM means "gun magnet."

Your Super sure makes a lot of collars and recovers handguns. If only we directed TIF funds to clone him and have a city full of McCarthys, we could make the city safe again! huzzah!
Wow seems a bit desperate to prove to everyone that he is the real police. Typically when big bosses try to be the police they end up screwing things up. Hope that wasn't the case with this incident. And don't worry GM we know you are the "real NY police".
GM=Giant Mistake
Wow gary rides on a job it makes the news. Obviously he doesn't do it very often.
That's a good thing right? Lead by example?
He was working because he his slip was denied.
Going out with a bang. A little to late at this point. Thanks for the memories Garry.
GM - gun magnet. I literally just spit out my beer. Too f'n funny.
Chiraq Bye Bye Gary
Gun and gone?
"Chicago Police Supt. Garry McCarthy patrolled the streets overnight and helped officers capture a group of armed shooting suspects."
Was this before or after last call?
Remember - GM REALLY means "Gin Mill".
Call me jaded, but I SO do not believe this choreographed scenario.
Too late Garry. Your job is over. Make way for an African American boss to take your place. You did your best and now move on. A Black boss will take a lot less heat no mater how bad it gets and the mayor can devote more time getting reelected.
huh..well isn't that somethin'?
Makes me want to gag....
Reminds me of the ending of the movie about J. Edgar Hoover where his significant other recounts what really happened in all his great arrest stories.
Now when Jim Rochford did that, and I was around then, I had great respect for him.
How embarrassing; hey kid, put me on the paper. there is a lot of heat on me with all these shootings. lets put me on the paper and portray me as Supermantendant. then let me call the news paper for a story. OMG
Hey gm don't steal my thunder. Ha ha ha just kidding. Way to go boss. Oh and by the way out me in the paper. Ha ha ha
MG
Even the head devil himself will not stand against the raising tide of a peoples wrath even though he is brave and tenacious.
Good to see. At least he didn't pull the, "gotta run" routine.
Garry come patrol 019 and see the citizens under siege there every warm night. You will find them licking thier wounds and lamenting the loss of property and Police protection.
Was Garry patrolling the north side where he has stolen police resources??
Or was he patrolling the non tax paying ghetto?
Garry come patrol 019 next and see the citizens under siege every warm night.
I remember a certain guy from SOS that was called gun magnet...humm
I'd follow McCarthy through the gates of Hell. He is truly a manly man.

1st Place for this rip.
No street lights were harmed in the filming of this episode.
Keep an eye on my pretty loft Garry.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
How many streetlights did he take out?
To be the real police Mcasshole would have had to go in and do all the paperwork which I'm certain he doesn't have clue how to do. Then he'd have to go testify in court on his day off which I'm certain he's never done. He never was and never will be the real police. Running around in a district playing police once a year without having to do any actual work, does not make one the real police.
At least he didn't run away. Same thing with NATO. He was right out there with us. I give the guy credit.
Ummm paper jumper.
Am i the only one who thinks he is driving around for a hot call so he can tell people look i'm the real police.
Last time i seen Gary his belt did not even have cuffs on them!
what a mope.
Now help out and handle some of these domestics all night long.
What a fucking joke.
This shitstick hears a real radio job and hides in the area until the actual police do their job and capture this shitead, then McFuckstick shows up with the "great work guys" bullshit like he had anything to fucking do with it.
I'm sure Northside would be glad to use this example to the 'former' Supe that the real police run INTO the direction of the crime.
Come on guys...this is a classic PR ploy of 'Hey, look over here' when thing went terribly wrong. 4 dead and 26 wounded on this Friday night and the story is about HIM? The designed message is 'hey, he is doing everything he can'. Paper jumper!
If it makes the papers then it's not for real. Orchestrated. The troops know when it's for real. When word gets circulated without media attention and a boss is out there on a consistent basis. Not just for a show.
I hope he got box 1 on the arrest, especially when the judge finds no probable cause.
were there any PODs in the area to capture this awesome arrest.
Did he have an advance car telling him where to go?
Wow gary rides on a job it makes the news. Obviously he doesn't do it very often.
4/27/2014 12:14:00 AM
Why would he or should he? You don't pay a guy $260,000 to work a beat car.
Wow seems a bit desperate to prove to everyone that he is the real police. Typically when big bosses try to be the police they end up screwing things up. Hope that wasn't the case with this incident. And don't worry GM we know you are the "real NY
He doesn't have to prove he was the real police. He was the real police in New York and started out like any PPO in New York. Better than coming from the FBI, see where that got us.
IF GM was such a great cop, he would be arresting a lot of people in city hall. I bet ya he would shake a few guns out of the politicians too...ya I know..don't the aldermen get to carry??
I don't know which comment above made me laugh more; GM = Giant Mistake, or he was working because his time was denied.
Well Done!!
Who does GM think he is? "Patrolman Joe" Mccarthy? Joe McCarthy was a legend, a great boss, and loved working the street more than riding a desk. Patrolman Joe didn't command respect...he earned it.
I hope gmac didn't "tune" anyone up during the arrest--- all those dash cameras are for safety, not to hang anyone--- we would hate for you to experience getting indicted and sent to callback--- remember, they have your back....
Garry McCarthy is such a bad mutha he sleeps with a pillow under his gun!!!!!
To bad "Chicagoland" wasn't still filming,they would of had gmac recovering the guns,you know,stage it
In Chicago, politics will always be king because the voters are sheep. Actually lemmings are a better analogy.
Predictions of a new black Superintendent ring true.
The Mayor, in an obvious attempt to cater, will feel he has no choice. The national media has picked up on the Chiraq moniker. He has aspirations beyond Chicago, just look at all his brothers have accomplished. He will be Chicago politics on steroids.
McCarthy will be "needed" elsewhere soon. Emmanuel can't admit he made a huge mistake. The Mayor will find the "right guy" here and he will be politically correct. The Media will write the narrative, just like CNN did for his TV show. Chicago is nothing but politics, regular people don't count.
McgarBear in a foot chase? I'd have to see video of that to believe it.
What do you want?
Weasel ran from a shots fired call and everybody called him a coward.
McDrunk rides on a shots fired call and you and you all bitch.
Did McDrunk showboat? Yes.
So what, at least he showed up.
More orchestrated than the CNN thing.
Was he ever reprimanded for not doing a contact card when he 'recovered a gun' on his way to 11? Anybody have that RD number?
Dean and Bella will negotiate to lift residency. The mayor will realize how important the police are after we all leave to the suburbs. Im sick of all the anti-Dean comments. Bella will help him get things done, give him a chance.
Rahm should join a south side patrol. Every body, no matter how small a body, can help fight crime with a depleted CPD!
"Too much too little too late"
One assignment all night? Oh.
GM goes in box 1. After the uuw trial will be his purgery trial.
Welcome to the MCC GM
Paper jumper. Oh Garry, how many contact cards did you write? Where you in your designated deployment box? Where you able to identify the gang conflict and boundaries of said conflict? Were these three “suspects” on G.I.P.P., T.R.A.P. and “Two Degrees of Association”. Did they make the district “Top Ten”? How about parole, probation or electronic monitoring?
Has it been determined if the district commander had previously given the three suspects the golden “call in” spiel of the Gang Violence Reduction Strategy: We can help you if you let us. We will stop you if you make us?” Did Garry oversee and coordinate a post-shooting mission?
3:28 AM
Did you ever see "the Raging Queen" skit on SNL in which the late John Belushi extols "a manly man who does manly things in a manly way"? Hilarious!
Garry the gun maggot was overhead stating this was a sobering experience. He further related his disappointment saying this was like the O.K. Corral without the saloon. Upon capture, he heard the offenders were toast. He mumbled and then became furious realizing this toast didn’t involve raising a glass or booze.
Maybe uh don't wish for a new boss....we've seen how that's all worked out in the past...always worse.
Give him a break. He led the elite through the battle of cermak
As stated before, thankfully he didn't say "Gotta run", so I'll give him credit for that.
Like him or not, he WAS a COP. Unlike "Mellonhead", out last clueless leader.
If you think 19 is a breeze, just drive down Clark Street or Halsted 2am on the weekends. Don't believe it see for yourself! Its a mad circus show. Sad part is that 19 residents actually their taxes.
i dont care for gmac and beleives he only looks out for the irish cops but i will give him credit for being out there in the thick of things
Real leaders conlisk, rochford ,ogrady,rice,Martin did not have to patrol the streets like a beat man . They were the Boss of Chicago's Finest , backed up the troops and the blue shirts worked hard for them . We were not afraid of being thrown under the bus , today most bosses merit hacks , will say if you are right I'll back you up .
Gee thanks .
(OT) just a question and opinion. Will have 29 years next year have age for 55 medical want to stay but wonder if pension will be there, kind of like WWYD what would you do, kids are raised moved out house cars paid for have deferred comp 500k saved. But still like the job, overtime in abundance but also realize average copper who retires at 63 gets 16 pension checks, I think after writing this I'm talking myself into it.

4/27/2014 08:21:00 AM
And where was that bitch judy wies when the shit hit the fan?
Like Gary or not, at the least, he was a Copper. not some bitch.
I can remember a similarly printed story in the press many years ago about our former Fearless Leader Phil Cline...kicking in a door, and arresting a man with a gun. No one on the Dept. even blinked at the story then, even though it's doubtful Cline could raise a foot high enough to kick a door anywhere near where a doorknob would be situated.
At least McCarthy was out there, and actually helped out. Let's not forget the infamous "J-Fled" scenario in Englewood a few years back, when a man was shot to death close to where Weis held court with the press, only to flee the scene with his driver when the shit really hit the fan.
At least he didn't run away. Same thing with NATO. He was right out there with us. I give the guy credit.
Exactly. I think McC gets a whole lot of undeserved bashing here. Let's not forget who he works for. Does anyone think his second-in-command Mr. Lambert Tree would do any better? Really?
10:10 AM
For the record Re: J-FLED. It was more than just a "shots fired" call at 6748 S. Paulina St. only 45 seconds away from 6601 S. Marshfield Ave. on the same CPD beat.
It was the MURDER of Reginald MYERS (M/1/20), a citizen without a rap sheet. It remains an unsolved MURDER.
GOTTA RUN!
You can tell this story was told by a New Yorker to the reporter, by the street addresses. At least he was out there with a designated driver...
3:16 PM
LeRoy Martin not only "threw me under the bus" for doing the right thing. He backed it up and ran over me again.
May he burn in Hell.
The guy actually INITIATED the foot chase. On the air, running, giving descriptions and directions. Responding assist cars caught bad guys and recovered the guns. Not a fan, but I'll give the guy credit when credit is due.
And what did Al get that Lambert tree for? If I remember right, there were a few officers more deserving of that award that year but politics came through and it was given to Al.
5:26 PM
If Alfonza Wysinger had integrity and the courage of his convictions, he would return the Lambert Tree award. It diminishes the heroism of those that truly deserved the CPD's highest award.
he keeps doing this and Garry will have his "gotta go" moment...
How about this hot news item? Garry McCarthy's policing strategies attributed to helping the Hawks beat the Blues!
HIS BS PR tactics might hold some water if he actually got in a real jalopy of a patrol car one on one with a random partner and spent 8 hours finding out what is really going on....but oops, that's too dangerous for him....plus he'd be putting his partner in real danger because he's so f*cking clueless. Does he even know how to work a radio?

100 percent correct. They did not care how you got the job done....Period. Killed beefs and could care less about the slug Rev'. The hall controled them.
Cline could not even get a clearence to get briefed regarding national security issues. Old timers know the reason for that !
McCarthy could not make a pimple on the old supt'. They all sleep well at night, knowing the streets were covered by real police who never cried foul when a boss MF'ed him.
Like Gary or not, at the least, he was a Copper. not some bitch
And what meritorious position did he give you?
"Chicagoland propaganda"
I'm Calling BULLSHIT!
Were the CNN cameras following him around?
I can just see McAsshole chasing down the perps on foot and single handedly getting those guns off the street for an encore presentation.
Here is the real pathetic, pandering, race baiting, class warefare POS in action:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0G7Ey0XK1g
Seems every time McGarthy goes out on patrol the next day there are reports of broken street lights. No one seems to know why.

That nonsense about sixteen pension checks is based on thirty or forty year old numbers. It isn't anywhere near the case today. Call the pension board and ask for the real numbers.
As for retiring, the best reason to go is the many, many politicians who say they won't mess with the pensions of those who are already retired, but they will adjust the pensions for those who have not YET retired. It's no guarantee, but it's something to consider.
You have the medical coverage offer, the time on, and you are young enough to enjoy life. GO.

I saw your Supe on the scene as I was returning from a run. He gave us a quick wave as we slowed down passing the scene. I promptly responded by giving him the finger. The look on his face was priceless. What a fucking punk he is.

Integrity? He's out only for himself and couldn't care less about anyone else. He still thinks he should be running the department. That would be funny if it were not true. He has no clue he is the laughing stock of the department. He can't figure out how to tie his shoes without assistance.
Northside, I remeber LeRoy giving you a f'ing but forgot for what !
You bucking the system and thinking with your heart for the guys always got you in shit.
All us crazy copper', when seeing you, knew if we had a problem that you would do magic for your brothers.
Akways a pleasure seeing you in the old days. Our kind are DOA brother. CPD was the best in the nation during our ride. The mutts respected and feared us. They used the word sir so much that we just told them to go leave our sight !!
And all you young guys, these were hard core gangsters that did a whack a month but knew the game when we had a talk with them.
If we pinched them, they knew they deserved it and took it like a true criminal.
""Who does GM think he is? "Patrolman Joe" Mccarthy? Joe McCarthy was a legend, a great boss, and loved working the street more than riding a desk. Patrolman Joe didn't command respect...he earned it.""
Yeah and the city crushed him when a judge stuck a $50g settlement on him and they hung him out to dry. Janey told him to clean out the shitheads and he did.
Then the same shitheads sued and won the Ghetto lottery from both the city and Joe. A good man with a big family Joe was never the same after that. I dont think it was the personal damages so much as it was the fact everything he believed in came crashing down. Paying the $50g to shitheads didnt help for sure.
His health began to fail and he was just never the same. He was a good man who deserved better. He was one of the very few Bosses that put the welfare of the citizens and his officers above his own.
RIP Patrolman Joe.
Hey GM. Next time you're out stop in 019. You like bars and drinking? Throw that uniform on and walk a foot beat on Clark between Grace & Belmont with us on any Sat night from about 2200-0300. We could use your policing skills.
He gets a media blast for one day on the streets and everyone else working the streets get nothing. Boy the supt make a big difference. No more outsiders to run CPD
Diversionary tactic, nothing else. Let him go to 11, stand roll call and get assigned a random car from the get-go and deal with the real world.
Garry was never the police. He had a whopping 3 years on the job when he made Sgt. Another 3 years later he's a LT. Another 3 years a promotion. 3 years another promotion. With 6 years on he was already a house mouse.
OT) just a question and opinion. Will have 29 years next year have age for 55 medical want to stay but wonder if pension will be there, kind of like WWYD what would you do, kids are raised moved out house cars paid for have deferred comp 500k saved. But still like the job, overtime in abundance but also realize average copper who retires at 63 gets 16 pension checks, I think after writing this I'm talking myself into it.
Per pension board numbers. Average retiree is 68 years old. If everyone retired at 63 they would be receiving checks for 5 years. You realize the wrong thing, its a 40 year old urban legend about 1 1/2 years after retirement.
Up to you about retiring. If you like the job and are happy stay. All that can happen is if you die you will leave the wife and kids the 500K in deferred.
I personally had a great time on the job, retired at 63 and this year am being forced to take the mandatory disbursement of the 600K from deferred.
All I can say is to each his own, worked out for me, some it hasn't

They also had a different make up of the department. Times were different.
Last time i seen Gary his belt did not even have cuffs on them!
what a mope
I dont think Garry's the mope. If he walked around with cuffs on his belt what would you say.
Yea, real smart wanting a supt to carry cuffs on his belt.
To be the real police Mcasshole would have had to go in and do all the paperwork which I'm certain he doesn't have clue how to do. Then he'd have to go testify in court on his day off which I'm certain he's never done. He never was and never will be the real police. Running around in a district playing police once a year without having to do any actual work, does not make one the real police.
Say all you want, but what makes Garry the real police is that he was a po in New York. He didn't walk in there as the supt,he started out as a po. Don't think New York is the easiest place to be a po.

Here we go again with this "Old Time Coppers Were Better" bullshit.
For the 800th time: It was easier to be a cop back then. Because nobody had a fuckin cell-phone or video camera. No one gave a shit if you held some shithead without charges indefinitely.Or if Dets beat the shit outta some poor slob til he confessed to something he didn't do. That's why the fuckin clearance rate was so high back then. And you fuckers dam well know this. States Attys were the copper's cohort back then. Not like today. I'd love to see some of your hero ole time coppers have to perform under today's working conditions. Shit would be beyond laughable. Cause they'd have to play by TODAY's rules.
Kiss my ass, with all that Ole Time Coppers Were Better, bullshit. Cause all things being EQUAL, it just aint true.
Leroy Martin came to a Sergeant's Association meeting when he running for Cook County Sheriff.
He was expecting to be welcome with open arms, rounds of applause and promises of support..
What he got was some pissed off Sergeants who got in his face telling him exactly what they thought of him and all but threw him out the window.
Payback was indeed a bitch!
McCarthy will get the same when the opportunity arises.
Wow, this site is getting too many bloggers with little minds. this whole blog was bout McCarthy rolling in on a Man With A Gun call and somehow Dean Angelo and Greg Bella get pulled in with some nonsense that the Mayor will negotiate us to live in the suburbs. I guess nobody gets it that we will never have this right. We spend a whole lot of money in the city. Water Bills, Taxes, Etc. As much as we try to buy and shop outside this city, we still have to spend money here. I suggest if you don't like what is happening in your neighborhoods, then start block clubs, neighborhood patrol groups. Back in the day my area had CB patrol groups and I as the police was asked to speak in regards to what they should do, I told them to call 911, and not confront any bad guys unless absolutely needed. No, they were not coppers, but many cops did help out. And no I'm not soft, but I am retired and before I move out of the city, I am going to really investigate any new area or suburb, I don't want any dog asses near me, I will check out everything needed. say no more. But please leave FOP out of any blogs that regard Garry and the Mayor, they are clearly not our friends.
Martin did not have to patrol the streets like a beat man ...
Would don't you stop talkin for a while champ.
The Raging Queen was my role model. I am the man I am today because of him/her.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
