2 and 24

  • Two men were killed and at least 24 other people have been injured in shootings across Chicago since Friday night.

    The most recent fatal shooting happened about 11:30 p.m. Saturday in the East Garfield Park neighborhood on the West Side.
So 26 total shot - how did the Cubs base runners do? We heard they won a couple games, but we were watching other things. How did the Sox do? Maybe combined they came close to the shooting totals?

I was reading on twitter that some dude got shot 11 times (from someone that follows a Chicago scanner). It just reinforces my belief that between CFD paramedics and trauma docs, it does more to affect the city's homicide rate than any City Hall/GMac strategy could.

All these killings and shootings will be temporarily pushed to the back burner once the MSM starts running their non-stop blitz of the surveillance footage from Vice's digitally immortalized fuck-up. Hell, this might give the infamous Abbate tape a run for its money.

Just never-you-mind that there's plenty of minutes missing from the video, as evidenced by the time stamp.

No doubt The Nine-Digit-Midget is smiling. This will work nicely towards his end game of demonizing the "out of control" CPD in the public perception/contract/pension departments.

Oh yeah and I'm feeling really stupid too, so I also need the SSI stupid check.

Natasha McShane's attacker Heriberto Viramontes faces 120 years in jail after guilty verdict in Chicago

Rot, you two.

Oh --

Chicago crime victim Natasha McShane sentenced to life

..."Viramontes [faced] a 25-count felony indictment, including charges of attempted murder, aggravated robbery, and aggravated battery for the savage beatings of the Irish exchange student and her friend Stacy Jurich in Chicago’s Bucktown neighborhood on April 23, 2010.

"According to co-defendant and getaway driver Marcy Cruz, Viramontes wanted money for drugs and was sizing up potential victims. “Look at all these rich white bitches,” said Viramontes...[who] picked up a baseball bat and left the van, returning with two leopard print purses minutes later. Unarmed, the petite 4-foot-9-inch, 100-pound McShane was found unconscious with a cracked skull. Jurich was also beaten unconscious but has recovered.

"Hate crime charges were not included in the indictment."

"McShane, now 27 years old, has already been given a life sentence...confined to a wheelchair. No walks in the park. No running or jumping...life without being able to speak with family and friends. Simple words like “hello” or “I love you” may not be possible ever again.

"For traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients like McShane, the standard of care is eight months to one year of rehabilitation. For reasons unknown, McShane had only three months of intensive therapy at Chicago’s Rehabilitation Institute in 2010.

“The window for her has diminished because of all the unfortunate circumstances of her complications. She’s had multiple surgeries — one to remove a part of her skull. Then there’s the infections, the treatment of the infections, and the seizures she’s experienced, which cause further brain damage. She’s also had shunting, which means that the cerebral spinal fluid is not circulating properly, impacting the brain’s ability to function...”

That's why a lot of people jumping ship. They cater to the ppos and forget about your other guys. Stand up inspections, daily, no working with partners (because too many ppos), questioning and talking to you like a ppo. It's getting old and pos are getting tired of it. The academy and department really screwed over these ppo, therefore screwing over pos/citizens/bosses. They don't know a thing me the product they are putting out is embarrassing

Lets focus on the mismanagement of the Veteran's Administration Hospital and disrespect of our nation's heroes. This story includes the loss of life, secret lists and denial of medical care in violation of one's Civil Rights. It seems the VA has paid out 36 million dollars already with more litigation to follow. These men and women in uniform have paid their dues and deserve every American's undivided attention. How about VA employees getting bonuses for undeniably grossly mismanaged medical care facilities?

Much more important than the everyday right of passage violence and murder stuff in Chicago.

I hope the coppers come out OK, but this is another black eye we don't need, and will be used against all of us. Remember there are cameras everywhere now.

Murder at 47th & Cottage Grove? Why that’s less than one mile from the nation’s highest office holder’s residence of record. What can be said for a nation when the highest executive officer has murder and mayhem just a stones throw away from his home? What can be said about the prevailing, accepted culture and people who surround his home? His loyal voting base no less.

Soviet leader Gorbachev laughed when he was driven through D.C. remarking that the most powerful nation in the world has its capital surrounded by violence and poverty as he viewed what looked like a bombed out axis nation city in the second world war? He laughed, but his commentary is rooted in an undeniable truth.

Aside from the Asian woman getting slapped and told back to where she came from, that has to be one of the worst executed raids I have ever seen. No tactics, no safety, and one guys puts on his raid vest after he walks into the joint. Go back to the academy. There are plenty of classes on entry and scene safety. Love the Asian woman hiding behind the counter and not one copper checks behind the counter. The only hand jobs that were at that massage parlor were the ones doing the raid.

Rio Olympics only two years away...

Note to Olympic Sailors: Don’t Fall in Rio’s Water

By SIMON ROMERO and CHRISTOPHER CLAREYMAY 18, 2014, New York Times

RIO DE JANEIRO — Nico Delle Karth, an Austrian sailor preparing for the 2016 Summer Olympics, said it was the foulest place he had ever trained.

Garbage bobbed on the surface, everything from car tires to floating mattresses. The water reeked so badly of sewage that he was afraid to put his feet in it to launch his boat from shore.

“I’ve never seen anything like this before,” Mr. Delle Karth said of Guanabara Bay in Rio de Janeiro, where the Olympic sailing and windsurfing events will take place.

Even as Brazil scrambles to finish an array of stadiums for the start of the 2014 World Cup soccer tournament in less than a month, it is already coming under scathing criticism for its handling of the next mega-event on its plate, the 2016 Summer Games.

Guanabara Bay, nestled between Sugarloaf Mountain and other granite peaks, offers the kind of a postcard image Rio’s authorities want to celebrate as hosts of the 2016 Summer Olympics. But it has become a focal point of complaints, turning Rio’s polluted waters into a symbol of frustrations with the troubled preparations for the Olympics.

“Welcome to the dump that is Rio,” Germany’s sailing team said in one typically blunt assessment of the site for the Olympic regatta.

Brazilians training here agree.

“It can get really disgusting, with dog carcasses in some places and the water turning brown from sewage contamination,” said Thomas Low-Beer, 24, a Brazilian Olympic hopeful who sails in the bay. He shuddered when recalling how his dinghy crashed into what he believed was a partly submerged sofa, capsizing him into the murky Guanabara.

Welcome to Rio!

The crime and non family society is about to implode. White Black Hispanic and no Federal Law to combat the free life which the feds created. Run and do not look back.

I know it isn't a lot, but there was a dic in area one who went back to patrol in 2002 and one in area five in 2006.

Btw, vice is and has always been an unsupervised joke. That particular team and the named officers have been operating like that for many years and everyone in the unit knows it. Loud mouthed, unstructured, unsafe, uncontrollable BULLIES who never followed the rules or laws. It was only a matter of time and it pisses a lot of us off.

Its not like these are newbies, these guys have 20 plus years on and have been in vice for over 10 years. They knew what time it was and did it any way. If other women see their faces on tv it will guarantee many many more lawsuits, because these guys conducted every operation like that.

What's even better is that Kline hand picked 2 of the named and personally put them in vice when he was supt. Another named just got made detective - off the list or not - how good does that look for the department?

Aside from the Asian woman getting slapped and told back to where she came from, that has to be one of the worst executed raids I have ever seen. No tactics, no safety, and one guys puts on his raid vest after he walks into the joint. Go back to the academy. There are plenty of classes on entry and scene safety. Love the Asian woman hiding behind the counter and not one copper checks behind the counter. The only hand jobs that were at that massage parlor were the ones doing the raid.

No ppo's should ever be sent to the 16th district. They need to go to the ghetto so they can learn to be the police, cause these latest ppo's don't know shit. Not their fault, they've been on foot patrol for at least 8 months. Now what genius thought of that??

I always wanted to go on a Chinese vacation. Thanks for the idea on how to get there on the cheap. I will send myself right to the UPS Store on Peking or whatever they call that city now.

SWAT has been handed lists of Persons of Interest on the West and South side and we have been ordered to knock on the gang bangers door and basically tell him that we are concerned for his well being. I won't do it. It's a violation of the poor gang banger 's civil rights. All of SWAT has been told to patrol the ghetto. I wonder if the terrorists are going attack Englewood. No SWAT in the areas where tourists hang out. This has to be the worst Supt in the history of CPD. These exempts are scared of losing their spots!!!


Call your alderman multiple times a week. Request sat, swat, whoever. It's bullshit how the birds get everything

11:13 as a civilian and anyone who strikes someone who is cuffed should be fired

this situation aside, which I haven't viewed, you can legally and justifiably strike a handcuffed person if you don't have full control of them and they are continuing to be an assailant. A lot of bad guys don't quit fighting or resisting just because they have handcuffs on.

They still have their feet, teeth spit and head at their control. If they are trying to bite you, head butt you, kick you you can respond with measured force. If someone is trying to bite you, spit at you or head butt you a open hand strike to the head might save you injury and temporarily stun them until you can get better control.

You said what you said as if it were an absolute. It is the farthest thing from it and you are hardly an expert at law enforcement.

Why don't you watch the video first before you make a comment. I assume you had a role in it anyway. I do hope you wrote your case report the way you said it and hopefully what you wrote and what was recorded tell the same story.

"You don't strike someone who's cuffed EVER and should be grounds for firing."

Why would I have to watch the video first before I make my comment on this statement. This statement isn't talking about this incident only. I capitalized EVER so you could follow along.

What I said was you can't automatically assume that striking a handcuffed person is wrong every time.

If you are the civilian who wrote the first comment, thank God. If you are a department member I don't know whats worse, your reading comprehension or your tactics. Make sure you say pretty please stop head butting me or biting me and you document it on your OBR.

As far as seeing the video, what's the rush? It's going to be on the air all the time and unlike yourself I don't revel in the mistakes of other cops.
