Happy 4th to all those that are working today, be safe out there.
O.T.- sad how the holiday weekend began with 2 people shot while sitting on a front porch over by Monroe and Hamlin, whats that? northwest Bridgeport? yeah lets make it northwest Bridgeport! 1 died and the other in stable. looks like a long weekened ahead boys and girls
More like enjoy your cancelled day off, very limited DOH, and restricted time due... This job sucks more and more with every passing year. Glad i only have 5 1/2 years to go.
After the initial blast of gunfire, Wright and the women ran in different directions, but Wright was slowed when his pants slipped down while running, police said. Shelton then went up to him and shot him in the head, Molesky said.
Doesn't get any better than that. Shot and killed cuz ur pants we sagging.
Florida's Gulf Coast welcomes all of my brothers and sisters who survive 30 years or so in the meat grinder. Once out, this blog is the only contact I have with the city, and I've read very little good about the changes to a once great department. Keep safe, and Happy Birthday America!
All I year when working is "I'm retiring soon, I'm retiring next year" how many planning 55 and out putting in papers by October 01,2014 for next year, how many just planning retiring next year regardless? The big classes hired I. 85,86,87 are going to eligible max retirement but how many are leaving? Many coppers say "I'm staying because of overtime" ok but do you realize you have to work basically all your regular hours plus whatever extra hours to make that money.
Simple math on pension your getting approx your regular pay, but your telling the city when your maxed you can keep that regular pay I'd rather work extra hours to get overtime, so your working your regular hours plus special to get that pay. Add your overtime hours plus your regular hours together next month minus your monthly pension check divided into hours how much are you making per hour total, mine was for all hours worked $5.45 hour, because telling city to keep pension check for that month that is all you make.
Ok how many leaving next year? How many moving out if city state? If moving where is good place to live, that has good health care, not many link card and illegals, low crime ideas?
OT- another homicide in 011 last night. Can't wait to hear the commander say that it happened becuase, "Afternoons don't do shit" like he told the day crew after their homicide.
And is the XO going to counsel the afternon lieutenant that homicides are up 100% and shootings are up 100% since her promotion, you know, like he did the day lieutenant? Or is she untouchable because she's running her own watch into the ground the way Lemmer wants?
Hey Glenn, hey Tommy, your strategies suck. Homicides are up since you got here, same as all the lietenants who arrived with you. When is McCarthy going to hold you accountable for 60 years of westside mayhem that was going on before you were even born? West side ain't South side and it ain't inside work like TL has done his whole career
OT: from the Tribune about a shooting on the southside, priceless quote from Pat Camden: ---
"The officer turned the corner and heard gunfire, Camden said, and saw a man with a gun in his hand. The officer returned fire and shot the man in his chest. The man also complained about having a leg wound as he was wheeled into an ambulance, Camden said."
"The man was taken to Stroger Hospital in serious condition, he said."
"Police took a gun into evidence from the scene, according to Camden. “That’s the one guarantee in life. You shoot at police, they’re gonna shoot back,” he said."
Can you smell that? Ahhhh, that's the 4th of July, no wait it's my filled to the top garbage can that was supposed to get picked up today on Friday because every Friday is garbage pick up. But wait a minute the garbage was picked up yesterday, on Thursday, what's going on here. But wait a minute, there were very, very few garbage cans that were picked up on Thursday because no one at Alderman Mary "pothole" O'Connor's office told us, the residents, HER constituents, the people she works for, that garbage was to be picked up Thursday, a day early. Never in my 40 plus years of living in the 41st ward have they ever picked up garbage the day before our scheduled pick up date and not tell us before hand. They always come the day after if it's a holiday or some unforeseen event. Well I called Mary pothole O'Connor's office and was told that whe sent out an E-mail to everyone notifying them of the change in garbage pick up. Well nope,she didn't, I didn't receive it but I did get her email about the SRO story at Devon and NWHWY so I know I'm getting her emails. So then her office went on to blame streets and San saying they were supposed to notify us of the change in garbage pick up. They then took my name and address and said someone would be out on Thursday but alas this was not to be. So here I am on a happy 4th with a packed garbage can, an incredible aroma thinking why we even have an alderman who can't even provide the simplest of services. Also there were a a lot of graduation parties last week for 8th grade and HS graduation, but I guess Mary pothole Oconnor didn't think about that. Living in a 3rd world ward in a first class city, hahahahahahahaha..........hurry retirement....
To 12:42 far from a company man, in a beat car for 22yrs no clout. I have a high school diploma my base is 80k decent benefits, and so far a pension. Yes this job is trying at times, and the politicians are always trying to screw us, but if you think this job sucks you never had a real job. Why don't you go work in a factory for $15hr, or drive a delivery truck for 45 to 60k a year. Better yet be a union trades man odds are you are laid off unless you have serious senority. Maybe your one of those over educated guys, then quit see what that degree gets you in the private sector.
Great. Steve Georges as superintendent. Another guy who didn't grow up in Chicago. He's from Park Ridge and was never the police. If I'm not mistaken, 4 years as a patrolman. 2 of those in units. Even McCarthy was a patrolman for 5 years and you see how that's working out!
From the Trib's report of 12 already shot as of Friday morning, I couldn't help but notice this:
Another shooting overnight left one dead and one wounded in West Englewood. The two were hit when someone fired from inside or near a black car about 2:40 a.m. Friday in a stripmall at 63rd Street and Damen Avenue. Corey Hudson, 34, was killed and a 35-year-old man was wounded in front of a salon where children were getting their hair done overnight. Shell casings littered the sidewalk and bullets had pierced a nearby gyros restaurant.
What so-called "parent" takes their kid to have their hair "did" at 2:40 am? Nevermind...don't answer that.
Monroe and hamlin shooting may have been bc of a dope deal going bad, hell thats the dope house and hell yea they were the intended targets. Ten to one says the shooters was one of the ones making comments on how this should stop.
• What a way to celebrate our independence, I just got my tax bill yesterday...54% towards public schools.
• CPS expects to feed thousands breakfast and lunch over the summer months...isn't that a parental responsibility that is covered by gov'mint supplements not limited to LINK/SNAP/WIC ?
• Government Dependence Day...it's here, get out of your subsidized housing and head off to a city park or county forest preserve for grillin' and loud music 'til mitt-nite and thank the governor for all his generosity.
Am I reading this right? Who the heck take their children to get their hair done at 3 in the MORNING!

Corey Hudson, 34, was killed and a 35-year-old man was wounded in front of a salon where children were getting their hair done overnight. Shell casings littered the sidewalk and bullets had pierced a nearby gyros restaurant.
A man who pulled up to the scene after the shooting, but before police arrived, said saw two men on the ground, one of them still moving.
A woman whose 4-year-old daughter was inside the salon became separated from her child until after police arrived. She stood outside the crime scene until a supervisor was able to walk her into the salon, where she was told she’d have to wait until detectives and evidence technicians finished their investigation.
Haven't been on here in a while but I got a headache from reading the last few threads...VRI do nothing cry babies, retired old farts who have no concept of modern police work and 019 this and 019 that. If you hate 019, come to 007 or 006 anytime after 1800hrs and you'll piss your granny panties when you see what our team does on a daily basis. 019 is fully staffed retirement dist with a great boss. Both days off for me cancelled for me and I'm not crying about it. Now go back to the watch, play on your phone, and haul my arrestee.
Please be careful. The DEVIL never sleeps. Thanks for keeping us safe. 19 Paul everything and give them an RD and you'll be ok. Family awaits you coming home safe.

Love it! Thank you for bringing a smile to my face!
Thank you to all of our first responders and military, active and retired. God bless America!
Happy 4th of July? C'mon, I expect better. We celebrate our Country's Independence on the 4th of July, not the 4th of July as an occasion. That's like saying Merry December 25th. Okay, yes I'm grumpy and probably splitting hairs but it's easy to do when we celebrate the embarrassing mess this Country has become. It's difficult to show pride and patriotism in light of the actions and antics of the political bastardization of what this country once was. I am proud of many of the people who act and serve with valor and integrity but am ashamed of the supposed leaders and what they and their more recent predecessors have done and are doing. I fly our flag in remembrance rather that with pride as I am no longer proud. Maybe one day the abeyance of that sentiment, that pride, that glory will return.
After retiring with many many years on this job, I was usually forced to work on the 4th due to being in a specialized unit but I always hated it because of all the idiots out on the streets. Now, I'm prepared to sit in my back yard and relax and pray that all of you officers out there remain safe and make it home at the end of your tour, I thank you for what you do for this city with no praise other than our paycheck!!!!!
Catching up on newspaper headlines from yesterday: the City of Chicago and the State of Illinois could be on the hook for $1.58 million in attorneys' fees for their futile attempts to deny citizens their 2nd Amendment Rights. Chicago has agreed to pay the lawyers who challenged its ordinances banning gun stores; Illinois is arguing that the fees requested by the winning plaintiffs' lawyers ought to be reduced.
Chicago's new ordinance on gun stores contains so many restrictions that 99% of the city may be off limits for such an enterprise. Another lawsuit coming?
Never ever dismiss the power of the Greek communities in this city, Steve Georgas deserves any promotion that he gets, he is a tired less working copper, and for all of you that don't like him or Chris Kennedy, you are at a loss, both decent men ,do their job and work hard. And yes I am a friend of both, have worked for them both and have never mistaken friendship for kindness.

Math isn't that simple. You forgot almost $5,000 for duty availability and uniform allowance. Holiday pay plus each year your pension goes up because its the highest four of the last ten which has always been the last four unless you were promoted. Not saying you are right or wrong, just isn't as simple as you make it sound.
Free breakfast , lunch for cps students. Parent get link money to feed kids , that should be deducted from link . More money for baby mama to drink , smoke etc
Maybe SCC will have something on it later but, the guy killed last night in a strip mall in my neighborhood where young girls were getting their hair did at... Damn near 3:00 am?!?!? WTF! And then these same stupid parents will be holding you guys to partial blame if one of those children were shot smh.
I challenge Barb West to actually stroll down Adams ST about 23:00 hrs tonight to show Leadership in Austin!
7/04/2014 07:03:00 AM Ha funny-- barb west is a goof. Not sure how she managed to make it up the ranks. Not a hell of a whole lot of brain power. What can you expect from someone groomed by Tracy Ladner.

When you kiss someone's ass you should make sure to identify yourself so that they know you are their gimbal servant.
Worth a look: Dinesh D'Souza's "America" is now in theaters in limited release. Catch it while you can. The film attacks the radical historians teaching your children to hate America first and condemning capitalism while seeking to undermine the middle class. Oh, yes, there is some great background material of the Alinsky disciples in government (Obama, Hillary, Axelrod and Jarrett).

Get a life. Stroking out because your garbage was picked up a day early. Man things are really bad for you. Now the garbage was really smelling. Where was it since last Friday after the pick up where it didn't smell until Thursday.

So on Thursday your garbage can was filled up and didn't smell,only on Friday. Or maybe it was empty on Thursday and suddenly on Friday it was filled up. Big fing deal the garbage got picked up early. Get a petition going to get her removed from office,

There is always another carrot dangling from a stick that you can chase. But sooner or later you will have to face life AFTER the Police Department. It does exist. It may be a frightening prospect, but only initially. Sooner or later you will either walk out, be kicked out or carried out.
The goal is to get as much money out of the pension system as possible. The way to do that is not to try to get the biggest check, but get the most checks.
Steve Georges thought he was going to be Chief of Patrol but was passed up. Heard Georges stepped on his dick and isn't going anywhere in the near future.
In many parts of the 41st ward. Garbage pickup is curbside. You roll it out the night before to be picked up by the truck the next day. So no notice of schedule change means you don't get service.

All that time seated at the foot of cloutorios genius yet you think "tired less" is a is a bonafied adjective. Maybe if Steve or Chris fart, the noxious odor will clear your mind and inspire you to grammatical greatness.
I saw a very nice fireworks display and had some good ribs and a nice evening away from the savages. But that was Naperville RibFest Some democrats have found it but it is nothing like any of the Taste of Chicago/July 3rd Fireworks calamities I have worked before I retired. And the best thing Naperville does, aside from keeping the police/citizen ratio high, is to charge $15 admission. That keeps the shitiest of the shitheads away. The real animals aren't going to drop cash to come and get thrown out. Thanks Naperville, don't ever let the animals in for free like Chicago and maybe they won't ruin the event like in Chicago. Robinson's Ribs was out there in Naperville and I hear he didn't bother to even go to the Taste of Chiraq.
This jerk S G thinks he's on a cloud and won't even Acknowledge you , if Come across this JERK I think he has eaten to many west side gyros !

The goal is to get as much money out of the pension system as possible. The way to do that is not to try to get the biggest check, but get the most checks
Whats wrong with the biggest and the most? Most checks is a flawed theory. If that was true EVERYONE would retire at 50 or when they hit 20 years to get the most checks. Doesn't work like that, Even as over the last few decades the retirement age went down, according to pension fund records, the age of officers retiring has increased. Not by much, but has increased during the time earlier retirement was offered and thats just a fact.

So where do you keep that overflowed smelly garbage Wednesday night?
Anonymous said... Last night, downtown was once again out of fucking control. This city has turned to shit!
Parts of the city. I like a bunch of other po's, firemen,city workers and residents walked a couple of blocks to the local park. There they had a huge fireworks display put on by the locals and the park was packed with old timers, parents, teenagers and even little kids playing in the childrens playground. A few beers were downed and everybody had a great time and enjoyed themselves. Not one problem or dispute, was a great evening and after a few hours everyone walked home. There are still areas like this left in the city.

7/04/2014 03:12:00 PM The simple answer; a few officers are afraid of retirement. Even with overtime and holiday pay, the difference is very small. When your 60 years old or more and afraid to retire, that is sad. This is more of a emotional decision rather than a economical decision. Soon, they will be 63 years old and forced off the job. I think it is sad any officer still working with 40 years on the job. Take the retirement while you can.
The angry Amish hordes were out in force downtown on Friday. People were getting pummeled left and right by these violent hungry hordes! It was bad. What can we do to appease these hordes that the city and Police brass say don't exist? You won't here about them raping and pillaging in the paper or news. We can only hope that these animals one day run into an average respectable citizen, who just happens to have his or her concealed carry weapon of choice on their person and takes out a few.

You should learn how to spell before you criticize someone else's grammar. "Cloutorios" and "bonafied" are both incorrect.
ssc im retired and yesterday i was out in downers grove for their 04july parade no mutts no sh-theads just decent law abiding tax payers , nice to see patrism is still alive and well great work by the downers grove police dept and mayor tully.
To 07/04/14 at 10:15 pm......you must love paying high property taxes for little to no service, well I like my money's worth. Yes the garbage was filled up on Thursday because Friday is garbage pu you tool. I pull it to the street and now I got to smell it for another week. The reason they are supposed to pick it up every week is because it usually gets filled by the seventh day but that must too hard for you to comprehend. Me thinks your a Mary pothole Oconnor stooge, waiting to get on the job or maybe a merit ,hack promotion. You probably answer phones at her office like all her other flunkies waiting to latch on to the govment tit...... As far as petitions, no way, we here on my block are bringing out the vote against her. She will soon be referred to former alderman Mary "Pothole" Oconnor, one and done...... Sent packing after one term now back to making sandwiches..... Oh and another thing that story about the SRO on Devon and NWHWY, well they are turning it into residential units there. Could it be section8, low income, who knows but I've seen the contractors there and they are putting in living residences in there....... Don't worry I'm sure Mary pothole Oconnor won't know anything about it.........
Sounds like Mary pothole Oconnor has at least 2 supporters here...... I guess you 2 don't mind our streets looking like someone called in an air strike ....... Ahhhh living large like a third world country here in the 41st ward.......
36 shot since Thursday. I worked the detail at navy Pier last night. Out of towner's asking if the violence that they hear about Chicago really that bad? I told them it's WORSE!

Be on real good terms ith your neighbors and put some in their Supercarts. I put theirs out when they are out of town on vacation and put some garbage in to discourage burglars. They do the same for me. Or double bag it and met your collection crew with some chilled bottles of water.

I hope so. I had a sister-in-law (RIP) on welfare due to severe arthritis and she used to get that stuff.
When she got it it was cause for a party because not only was it free it really was the world's best cheese. All natural no artificial flavoring or coloring. The pride of Wisconsin's Dairyland for burgers.
It was a heck of a lot better than the 40 year old Civil Defense hardtack she use to put it on so we brought our own Ritz crackers.
An evening at North Avenue Beach: From aBridgeport Mom and kids in tow.
I HATE CTA,be warned, Ventra has bee charging me a full fair for the kids
After the fire works we headed to the bus stop at the beach house at North Ave. to find out that the bus does not stop there after 9 pm.
what a city I live in. than a fight breaks out and guns drawn and then the fire dept. Oh hell i had to get my kids out of there for their safety. Sorry about leaving the wheelchair guys and the out of town ladies behind. But I can say I WILL NEVER BE GOING AGAIN.

The alderman of the ward where many coppers live who regularly disregards their needs as police officers and as citizens is fair game and needs to be blasted.
Steve Georgas did not step on his dick, he is in very good graces with both McCarthy and Rahm, he has many friends on the federal level and has been offered a few high ranking government jobs. Gulliford and Georgas work great together and I hear many negatives about both, but then again we are the Chicago police and many of us would not be happy even if you were paid to sit home. we are such a jealous group of babies, that we will never be happy, Try getting a real job, see how long you last in private industry.
To the same guy that always brings up Georgas. Get over it already. Anyone who worked close to him knows the type of boss he is. You must be a real malcontent.
I was in the Marine Unit when Georges was there as a boss. He would not listen to experienced veteran unit members on equipment and safety issues. He is a clout piece of shit who doesn't know his ass from a whole in the ground. He was offered federal jobs, hurray let him to work with the feds and leave working police alone.
"Try getting a real job, see how long you last in private industry". What kind of job do you think Georges would have if it wasn't for the C.P.D. he would be flipping burgers at Billy Goat or a waiter in Greektown.

After the initial blast of gunfire, Wright and the women ran in different directions, but Wright was slowed when his pants slipped down while running, police said. Shelton then went up to him and shot him in the head, Molesky said.
Doesn't get any better than that. Shot and killed cuz ur pants we sagging.

Steve Georgas is Greek Lightening. Watch out!!
Florida's Gulf Coast welcomes all of my brothers and sisters who survive 30 years or so in the meat grinder. Once out, this blog is the only contact I have with the city, and I've read very little good about the changes to a once great department. Keep safe, and Happy Birthday America!
God Bless America.. Fuck Ovomit.
Happy 4th of July ~ remember the brave men & women that stood up and fought & died for our freedom!!!
Its the 4th of July? Wow! With all my rdos cancelled I lost track of time. Cant wait to spend my money on the kids tuitions. Stay safe everyone.
I challenge Barb West to actually stroll down Adams ST about 23:00 hrs tonight to show Leadership in Austin!
Wait what does the 4th mean again?
How many of us would fight for our freedoms or be on the British Side?
*********INFORMAL POLL******************
All I year when working is "I'm retiring soon, I'm retiring next year" how many planning 55 and out putting in papers by October 01,2014 for next year, how many just planning retiring next year regardless? The big classes hired I. 85,86,87 are going to eligible max retirement but how many are leaving? Many coppers say "I'm staying because of overtime" ok but do you realize you have to work basically all your regular hours plus whatever extra hours to make that money.
Simple math on pension your getting approx your regular pay, but your telling the city when your maxed you can keep that regular pay I'd rather work extra hours to get overtime, so your working your regular hours plus special to get that pay. Add your overtime hours plus your regular hours together next month minus your monthly pension check divided into hours how much are you making per hour total, mine was for all hours worked $5.45 hour, because telling city to keep pension check for that month that is all you make.
Ok how many leaving next year? How many moving out if city state? If moving where is good place to live, that has good health care, not many link card and illegals, low crime ideas?
Independence Day, my favorite holiday. Parades, fireworks, cookouts and nice weather. No stress.
I never take anything for granted in this country.
God bless America.
Hockey players robbed johnnies ice house manager tells them to "play hockey in suburbs"
http://www.nbcchicago.com/blogs/madhouse-enforcer/Three-Hockey-Players-Robbed-at-Hawks-Practice-Facility-265784191.html?fullSite=y&_osource=SocialFlowFB_CHBrand
OT- another homicide in 011 last night. Can't wait to hear the commander say that it happened becuase, "Afternoons don't do shit" like he told the day crew after their homicide.
And is the XO going to counsel the afternon lieutenant that homicides are up 100% and shootings are up 100% since her promotion, you know, like he did the day lieutenant? Or is she untouchable because she's running her own watch into the ground the way Lemmer wants?
Hey Glenn, hey Tommy, your strategies suck. Homicides are up since you got here, same as all the lietenants who arrived with you. When is McCarthy going to hold you accountable for 60 years of westside mayhem that was going on before you were even born? West side ain't South side and it ain't inside work like TL has done his whole career
OT: from the Tribune about a shooting on the southside, priceless quote from Pat Camden:
---
"The officer turned the corner and heard gunfire, Camden said, and saw a man with a gun in his hand. The officer returned fire and shot the man in his chest. The man also complained about having a leg wound as he was wheeled into an ambulance, Camden said."
"The man was taken to Stroger Hospital in serious condition, he said."
"Police took a gun into evidence from the scene, according to Camden. “That’s the one guarantee in life. You shoot at police, they’re gonna shoot back,” he said."
Can you smell that? Ahhhh, that's the 4th of July, no wait it's my filled to the top garbage can that was supposed to get picked up today on Friday because every Friday is garbage pick up. But wait a minute the garbage was picked up yesterday, on Thursday, what's going on here. But wait a minute, there were very, very few garbage cans that were picked up on Thursday because no one at Alderman Mary "pothole" O'Connor's office told us, the residents, HER constituents, the people she works for, that garbage was to be picked up Thursday, a day early. Never in my 40 plus years of living in the 41st ward have they ever picked up garbage the day before our scheduled pick up date and not tell us before hand. They always come the day after if it's a holiday or some unforeseen event. Well I called Mary pothole O'Connor's office and was told that whe sent out an E-mail to everyone notifying them of the change in garbage pick up. Well nope,she didn't, I didn't receive it but I did get her email about the SRO story at Devon and NWHWY so I know I'm getting her emails. So then her office went on to blame streets and San saying they were supposed to notify us of the change in garbage pick up. They then took my name and address and said someone would be out on Thursday but alas this was not to be. So here I am on a happy 4th with a packed garbage can, an incredible aroma thinking why we even have an alderman who can't even provide the simplest of services. Also there were a a lot of graduation parties last week for 8th grade and HS graduation, but I guess Mary pothole Oconnor didn't think about that. Living in a 3rd world ward in a first class city, hahahahahahahaha..........hurry retirement....
To 12:42 far from a company man, in a beat car for 22yrs no clout. I have a high school diploma my base is 80k decent benefits, and so far a pension. Yes this job is trying at times, and the politicians are always trying to screw us, but if you think this job sucks you never had a real job. Why don't you go work in a factory for $15hr, or drive a delivery truck for 45 to 60k a year. Better yet be a union trades man odds are you are laid off unless you have serious senority. Maybe your one of those over educated guys, then quit see what that degree gets you in the private sector.
Illegals Invade America and Democrats do nothing!!!

12 shot as holiday weekend begins: 'It's like an everyday normal thing'
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-chicago-shootings-at-least-4-shot-20140703,0,3923848.story
Time to wedge the service door open at the morgue again. No point open, close, open, close and wear it out for the next three or four days...
Great. Steve Georges as superintendent. Another guy who didn't grow up in Chicago. He's from Park Ridge and was never the police. If I'm not mistaken, 4 years as a patrolman. 2 of those in units. Even McCarthy was a patrolman for 5 years and you see how that's working out!
12:11 post
That won't happen yet. CPD has had 3 Caucasian superintendents in a row. Next one will be a minority and transgender if they can find one.
Anyone know how retired super cop..BIG AL doing? The streets just aren't safe anymore, with him being retired!!
Happy 4th of July to SCC and all of Chicago's Finest...!
Stay safe...
For all you warriors out there working today, be careful and thank you for keeping my family safe.
I only wonder what retaliation Rahm has in store for us with the spank he took from the IL Supreme Court.
http://news.yahoo.com/bourbon-street-shooting-orleans-pleads-federal-backup-193224199.html
A mayor who knows when to ask for help from additional law enforcement agencies to control the violence in his city.
From the Trib's report of 12 already shot as of Friday morning, I couldn't help but notice this:
Another shooting overnight left one dead and one wounded in West Englewood. The two were hit when someone fired from inside or near a black car about 2:40 a.m. Friday in a stripmall at 63rd Street and Damen Avenue.
Corey Hudson, 34, was killed and a 35-year-old man was wounded in front of a salon where children were getting their hair done overnight. Shell casings littered the sidewalk and bullets had pierced a nearby gyros restaurant.
What so-called "parent" takes their kid to have their hair "did" at 2:40 am? Nevermind...don't answer that.
happy 4jul14 n everyone stay safe. regarding bridgeport it always sucked n still does shooting does not surprise one bit
Happy Independence Day everyone. Stay safe out there.

Monroe and hamlin shooting may have been bc of a dope deal going bad, hell thats the dope house and hell yea they were the intended targets. Ten to one says the shooters was one of the ones making comments on how this should stop.
• What a way to celebrate our independence, I just got my tax bill yesterday...54% towards public schools.
• CPS expects to feed thousands breakfast and lunch over the summer months...isn't that a parental responsibility that is covered by gov'mint supplements not limited to LINK/SNAP/WIC ?
• Government Dependence Day...it's here, get out of your subsidized housing and head off to a city park or county forest preserve for grillin' and loud music 'til mitt-nite and thank the governor for all his generosity.
Happy 4th to all and stay safe.
Am I reading this right? Who the heck take their children to get their hair done at 3 in the MORNING!

A man who pulled up to the scene after the shooting, but before police arrived, said saw two men on the ground, one of them still moving.
A woman whose 4-year-old daughter was inside the salon became separated from her child until after police arrived. She stood outside the crime scene until a supervisor was able to walk her into the salon, where she was told she’d have to wait until detectives and evidence technicians finished their investigation.

A big thank you partner on your "tips & clues" on Niles places to eat & shop.
You saved me a lot of gas & time.
Haven't been on here in a while but I got a headache from reading the last few threads...VRI do nothing cry babies, retired old farts who have no concept of modern police work and 019 this and 019 that. If you hate 019, come to 007 or 006 anytime after 1800hrs and you'll piss your granny panties when you see what our team does on a daily basis. 019 is fully staffed retirement dist with a great boss. Both days off for me cancelled for me and I'm not crying about it. Now go back to the watch, play on your phone, and haul my arrestee.
Please be careful. The DEVIL never sleeps. Thanks for keeping us safe. 19 Paul everything and give them an RD and you'll be ok. Family awaits you coming home safe.

Happy 4th of July? C'mon, I expect better. We celebrate our Country's Independence on the 4th of July, not the 4th of July as an occasion. That's like saying Merry December 25th. Okay, yes I'm grumpy and probably splitting hairs but it's easy to do when we celebrate the embarrassing mess this Country has become. It's difficult to show pride and patriotism in light of the actions and antics of the political bastardization of what this country once was. I am proud of many of the people who act and serve with valor and integrity but am ashamed of the supposed leaders and what they and their more recent predecessors have done and are doing. I fly our flag in remembrance rather that with pride as I am no longer proud. Maybe one day the abeyance of that sentiment, that pride, that glory will return.
Be safe out there! Happy 4th.

'MERICA!
Looks like they are doing things right in 011. All those missions are working. How many people shot there yesterday?
After retiring with many many years on this job, I was usually forced to work on the 4th due to being in a specialized unit but I always hated it because of all the idiots out on the streets. Now, I'm prepared to sit in my back yard and relax and pray that all of you officers out there remain safe and make it home at the end of your tour, I thank you for what you do for this city with no praise other than our paycheck!!!!!
Catching up on newspaper headlines from yesterday: the City of Chicago and the State of Illinois could be on the hook for $1.58 million in attorneys' fees for their futile attempts to deny citizens their 2nd Amendment Rights. Chicago has agreed to pay the lawyers who challenged its ordinances banning gun stores; Illinois is arguing that the fees requested by the winning plaintiffs' lawyers ought to be reduced.
Chicago's new ordinance on gun stores contains so many restrictions that 99% of the city may be off limits for such an enterprise. Another lawsuit coming?
Never ever dismiss the power of the Greek communities in this city, Steve Georgas deserves any promotion that he gets, he is a tired less working copper, and for all of you that don't like him or Chris Kennedy, you are at a loss, both decent men ,do their job and work hard. And yes I am a friend of both, have worked for them both and have never mistaken friendship for kindness.
Can anyone find the "Silly, silly" speech that Daley made regarding the Skyway back in 2006?

Math isn't that simple. You forgot almost $5,000 for duty availability and uniform allowance. Holiday pay plus each year your pension goes up because its the highest four of the last ten which has always been the last four unless you were promoted.
Not saying you are right or wrong, just isn't as simple as you make it sound.

There is always another carrot dangling from a stick that you can chase. But sooner or later you will have to face life AFTER the Police Department. It does exist. It may be a frightening prospect, but only initially. Sooner or later you will either walk out, be kicked out or carried out.
The goal is to get as much money out of the pension system as possible. The way to do that is not to try to get the biggest check, but get the most checks.
Steve Georges thought he was going to be Chief of Patrol but was passed up. Heard Georges stepped on his dick and isn't going anywhere in the near future.
Last night, downtown was once again out of fucking control. This city has turned to shit!
In many parts of the 41st ward. Garbage pickup is curbside. You roll it out the night before to be picked up by the truck the next day. So no notice of schedule change means you don't get service.

All that time seated at the foot of cloutorios genius yet you think "tired less" is a is a bonafied adjective. Maybe if Steve or Chris fart, the noxious odor will clear your mind and inspire you to grammatical greatness.
I saw a very nice fireworks display and had some good ribs and a nice evening away from the savages. But that was Naperville RibFest Some democrats have found it but it is nothing like any of the Taste of Chicago/July 3rd Fireworks calamities I have worked before I retired. And the best thing Naperville does, aside from keeping the police/citizen ratio high, is to charge $15 admission. That keeps the shitiest of the shitheads away. The real animals aren't going to drop cash to come and get thrown out. Thanks Naperville, don't ever let the animals in for free like Chicago and maybe they won't ruin the event like in Chicago. Robinson's Ribs was out there in Naperville and I hear he didn't bother to even go to the Taste of Chiraq.

Disorderly conduct Deb Mell announced that she and her same sex spouse are divorcing. So much for true love. Their union last less than three years.
Maybe big Daddy Mell can play matchmaker again. He did so well pairing up Patti with Rod.
The goal is to get as much money out of the pension system as possible. The way to do that is not to try to get the biggest check, but get the most checks
Whats wrong with the biggest and the most?
Most checks is a flawed theory. If that was true EVERYONE would retire at 50 or when they hit 20 years to get the most checks. Doesn't work like that,
Even as over the last few decades the retirement age went down, according to pension fund records, the age of officers retiring has increased. Not by much, but has increased during the time earlier retirement was offered and thats just a fact.
In many parts of the 41st ward. Garbage pickup is curbside. You roll it out the night before to be picked up by the truck the next day. So no notice of schedule change means you don't get service.
So where do you keep that overflowed smelly garbage Wednesday night?

Parts of the city. I like a bunch of other po's, firemen,city workers and residents walked a couple of blocks to the local park. There they had a huge fireworks display put on by the locals and the park was packed with old timers, parents, teenagers and even little kids playing in the childrens playground. A few beers were downed and everybody had a great time and enjoyed themselves. Not one problem or dispute, was a great evening and after a few hours everyone walked home. There are still areas like this left in the city.

Simple math on pension your getting approx your regular pay, but your telling the city when your maxed you can keep that regular pay I'd rather work extra hours to get overtime, so your working your regular hours plus special to get that pay. Add your overtime hours plus your regular hours together next month minus your monthly pension check divided into hours how much are you making per hour total, mine was for all hours worked $5.45 hour, because telling city to keep pension check for that month that is all you make.
Math isn't that simple. You forgot almost $5,000 for duty availability and uniform allowance. Holiday pay plus each year your pension goes up because its the highest four of the last ten which has always been the last four unless you were promoted.
Not saying you are right or wrong, just isn't as simple as you make it sound.

The simple answer; a few officers are afraid of retirement. Even with overtime and holiday pay, the difference is very small. When your 60 years old or more and afraid to retire, that is sad. This is more of a emotional decision rather than a economical decision. Soon, they will be 63 years old and forced off the job. I think it is sad any officer still working with 40 years on the job. Take the retirement while you can.
The angry Amish hordes were out in force downtown on Friday. People were getting pummeled left and right by these violent hungry hordes! It was bad. What can we do to appease these hordes that the city and Police brass say don't exist? You won't here about them raping and pillaging in the paper or news. We can only hope that these animals one day run into an average respectable citizen, who just happens to have his or her concealed carry weapon of choice on their person and takes out a few.

Never ever dismiss the power of the Greek communities in this city, Steve Georgas deserves any promotion that he gets, he is a tired less working copper, and for all of you that don't like him or Chris Kennedy, you are at a loss, both decent men ,do their job and work hard. And yes I am a friend of both, have worked for them both and have never mistaken friendship for kindness.

All that time seated at the foot of cloutorios genius yet you think "tired less" is a is a bonafied adjective. Maybe if Steve or Chris fart, the noxious odor will clear your mind and inspire you to grammatical greatness.
You should learn how to spell before you criticize someone else's grammar. "Cloutorios" and "bonafied" are both incorrect.
ssc im retired and yesterday i was out in downers grove for their 04july parade no mutts no sh-theads just decent law abiding tax payers , nice to see patrism is still alive and well great work by the downers grove police dept and mayor tully.

To 07/04/14 at 10:15 pm......you must love paying high property taxes for little to no service, well I like my money's worth. Yes the garbage was filled up on Thursday because Friday is garbage pu you tool. I pull it to the street and now I got to smell it for another week. The reason they are supposed to pick it up every week is because it usually gets filled by the seventh day but that must too hard for you to comprehend. Me thinks your a Mary pothole Oconnor stooge, waiting to get on the job or maybe a merit ,hack promotion. You probably answer phones at her office like all her other flunkies waiting to latch on to the govment tit...... As far as petitions, no way, we here on my block are bringing out the vote against her. She will soon be referred to former alderman Mary "Pothole" Oconnor, one and done...... Sent packing after one term now back to making sandwiches..... Oh and another thing that story about the SRO on Devon and NWHWY, well they are turning it into residential units there. Could it be section8, low income, who knows but I've seen the contractors there and they are putting in living residences in there....... Don't worry I'm sure Mary pothole Oconnor won't know anything about it.........
Sounds like Mary pothole Oconnor has at least 2 supporters here...... I guess you 2 don't mind our streets looking like someone called in an air strike ....... Ahhhh living large like a third world country here in the 41st ward.......
36 shot since Thursday. I worked the detail at navy Pier last night. Out of towner's asking if the violence that they hear about Chicago really that bad? I told them it's WORSE!

As I have said at many a retirement party, "May you collect more pension checks than paychecks."
awsome bosses! georgas and kennedy good people! promise no matter what you hear or know......don't believe it.

Ch. 2 news did a report on all the crap that took place downtown last night. Unfuckingbelievable how the city continues to downplay this ongoing bullshit.

In many parts of the 41st ward. Garbage pickup is curbside. You roll it out the night before to be picked up by the truck the next day. So no notice of schedule change means you don't get service.
So where do you keep that overflowed smelly garbage Wednesday night?
7/05/2014 09:50:00 AM<<<
Be on real good terms ith your neighbors and put some in their Supercarts. I put theirs out when they are out of town on vacation and put some garbage in to discourage burglars. They do the same for me. Or double bag it and met your collection crew with some chilled bottles of water.
awsome bosses I agree as well
awsome bosses! georgas and kennedy good people! promise no matter what you hear or know......don't believe it.

I'm working VRI South next week.
Anybody know where we can get some bricks of free government cheese?
Do they still give it away out there?
7/04/2014 10:47:00 PM<<<
I hope so. I had a sister-in-law (RIP) on welfare due to severe arthritis and she used to get that stuff.
When she got it it was cause for a party because not only was it free it really was the world's best cheese. All natural no artificial flavoring or coloring. The pride of Wisconsin's Dairyland for burgers.
It was a heck of a lot better than the 40 year old Civil Defense hardtack she use to put it on so we brought our own Ritz crackers.
An evening at North Avenue Beach: From aBridgeport Mom and kids in tow.
I HATE CTA,be warned, Ventra has bee charging me a full fair for the kids
After the fire works we headed to the bus stop at the beach house at North Ave. to find out that the bus does not stop there after 9 pm.
what a city I live in. than a fight breaks out and guns drawn and then the fire dept. Oh hell i had to get my kids out of there for their safety. Sorry about leaving the wheelchair guys and the out of town ladies behind. But I can say I WILL NEVER BE GOING AGAIN.
BP Mom

Enough with the incessant posts about O'Connor. This is a police blog, not a neighborhood blog. If you are going to run, announce and run. Don't bullshit coppers.

Who is bullshitting who Ms. O'Conner?
The alderman of the ward where many coppers live who regularly disregards their needs as police officers and as citizens is fair game and needs to be blasted.
Steve Georgas did not step on his dick, he is in very good graces with both McCarthy and Rahm, he has many friends on the federal level and has been offered a few high ranking government jobs. Gulliford and Georgas work great together and I hear many negatives about both, but then again we are the Chicago police and many of us would not be happy even if you were paid to sit home. we are such a jealous group of babies, that we will never be happy, Try getting a real job, see how long you last in private industry.
To the same guy that always brings up Georgas. Get over it already. Anyone who worked close to him knows the type of boss he is. You must be a real malcontent.
Hey SCC, if you haven't seen this check it out. Blue flu in effect in Memphis.

I was in the Marine Unit when Georges was there as a boss. He would not listen to experienced veteran unit members on equipment and safety issues. He is a clout piece of shit who doesn't know his ass from a whole in the ground. He was offered federal jobs, hurray let him to work with the feds and leave working police alone.
"Try getting a real job, see how long you last in private industry". What kind of job do you think Georges would have if it wasn't for the C.P.D. he would be flipping burgers at Billy Goat or a waiter in Greektown.
