Now He's Going by Quarters

  • The city’s first-quarter murder total this year hit its lowest number since 1958, police say.

    The first three months of the year saw 6 fewer murders than the same time frame in 2013–a 9 percent drop–and 55 fewer murders than 2012, according to a statement from Chicago Police.
Unable to face reality and say that murders are up yet again, McCarthy reaches back into history and says it's the lowest first quarter since 1958. Wow, that's a stretch. And it's 9% lower than last year. He's throwing out these percentages like they mean something. He's talking about 6 murders over three months. Whoopee!

Unmentioned is the fact that Chicago made up half of that total yesterday:
  • Three men were killed and four other people injured in separate shootings Monday night and Tuesday morning on the South and Southwest Sides, authorities said.
But that's next quarter, right Gar?

Here's a 'quarter' for this mope, from December 1st through March 31 we had the four coldest months on record, not to mention two years snowfall. What's the over/under on when this goof 'leaves to pursue other interests' or 'spend more time with his family'? And what the *blank* is wrong with the so called media that they don't ask the type of questions posted here every day? http://wattsupwiththat.com/2014/04/01/its-official-chicago-experienced-the-coldest-four-months-ever/

Commander Pena of 010 is in some hot water-its rumored she has a serious EEOC beef brought against her by a subordinate female officer. Witnesses include other officers and supervisors, all of whom have provided To-Froms to IAD. A serious lack of judgement and character from a triple merit hack. This has been kept rather quiet so far-lets hear from those in the know..hint, it happened in front of a whole tact team. Pathetic and embarrassing!

OT........
Hey, DIPSHIT, no crook county judge has the authority to usurp a contract with his own opinion.

Other than a federal overtaking of city operations, no judge has the authority to dictate police deployment. That authority rests solely with the CPD, not any judge. That would fall under what's known as "legislating from the bench",
###########
You can't be this STUPID, you must really not be the police or at least never actually worked as the police... Figure this out Asshat.... Your reverse seniority means shit if a district like 016 or 022 goes from having 200 officers to 150 because a JUDGE ORDERED it as part of their ruling.... Your CONTRACT will mean nothing Dummy....you must be one of the shit talkers on this job.

West Side group gets its lawsuit seeking police data reinstated
by KATIE KATHER on NOVEMBER 17, 2013
An appellate court has reversed a decision that ruled in favor of the city in a lawsuit filed by the Central Austin Neighborhood Association (CANA) and the American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois (ACLU).

The lawsuit – now reinstated – alleges that 911 response times for predominantly African-American and Hispanic neighborhoods are slower than response times in white communities. That’s because Chicago officials have failed to deploy police equitably across the city’s many diverse neighborhoods, the suit alleges.

Last year, a trial court dismissed the complaint by the two groups saying it was a political – rather than judicial – issue.

The ACLU says the unequal deployment of officers in the city violates the Illinois Civil Rights Act of 2003, which makes it unlawful for government to provide services in a manner that has a disparate negative effect on any racial group.

MacLush came out with some nonsense about gun recoveries. Chicago police recovered some figr about 4 or 5 times as large as New York City's gun seizures in a city one third the size and one third the population (but double the aldermen!) so that means his leadership is responsible for 900% more guns being recovered. I am surprised he didn't then declare there are therefore no guns left in this city. Or he could have used that opening to again declare the need for more gun laws so those people who are posing for pictures with their arsenals wouldn't be toting those guns.

Wait till a hot night in July and let's see what he uses for an excuse for the increase in animals shooting each other.


Must then be a lot of instant memberships in gangs going on. With all them good boys, sweet little babies, doing that shit behind their big fat assed moron baby momma's noses.

Two dead donkeys, some torn up cars, a busted up dung wagon and a stumbling, farting drunk walking in circles around the God-awful mess and dung blasted in every direction for hundreds of feet...

Soon as that job hits the air, every car in the district will try to go down on lunch, personal, gotta dooky real bad, run for the desk, hand waver etc.

The news reports said he was shot when he pointed a handgun at officers and "a Glock pistol with a laser sight and an extended magazine were recovered at the scene."

(Could not open the INSTAGRAM video link.)

It would have been nice to have a video clip at the scene of prying the pistol from his cold dead fingers. But none of the pistols in the photos, including the one with the extended magazine is a Glock. Not that an news reporter would know a Glock from a Webley-Fosbery.455.

Also, the gun pointed at the camera is loaded. That could have been an interesting shooting incident itself.
The photographer sayin' Come on! Now give me your war face! BANG!

And in the last photo, isn't "CPDK" a threat to kill police.

Stay Safe, there more like this kid still around.

4/02/2014 03:33:00 AM

Watch the video before you say what guns he has and doesn't have.... You wouldn't sound like an idiot that way.... It's a GLOCK with an extended mag in the video. I'm sure the majority of us know that the gun pointed at the camera was loaded and know what CPDK means. You son.. are definitely detective material.

So are you saying there are more murders the first quarter of the year? or is he telling the truth? Now he is being criticized when there are less murders.

Just like pension reform , cuts for other unions that receive 80% pensions and 3% compounded cola increases is. Better than the pensions Police and Firefighters receive. Reduce the other unions pension to 75% , leave our pension fund alone .
