Only 500?
- Cook County prosecutors said today that nearly 500 people had gathered Sunday afternoon for an unauthorized concert at Montrose Beach that turned into a melee after police officers attempted to shut it down.
Of course, theses numbers probably come from the same people who think they counted 1.1 million people at the Taste this year

500 my ass. PH1 knows the truth! How many PH1? 4000 and up?
According to the website promoting this event 1,000 people said they were going.
One of the pervasive comments is:
"Bring back Summer Mobile"
Ok, the important questions you might want to ask are:
Where in the fuck are we getting the manpower from?
We're in Districts where you cant get a Wednesday off due to manpower shortages, an you expect to pull from there?
Units? Which ones? Narc / Gang Enforcement aren't giving any one up.
Where are we going to get the cars / wagons from? (Remember, the PAPV's are a no-go.) Look at the shitboxes that are in the Dist. not to mention VRI.
Oh, there's enough bosses to run the place. They'll always find a promising young star lt. that wants to be an exempt somewhere.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for a School Patrol / Summer Mobile Unit. however, the reality is: We done have the manpower.
If we started hiring NOW. TODAY. it would still be, at the least 18 months till the Dept would begin to feel the effect of Cops on the Street.
Or 850k at gay parade.
SCC,
Wakeup! These numbers come from those who tally the vote. You know the ones that assure/insure only the "machine candidate" wins.
It's all legitimate, I swear!
And 1 million at the pride fest
This Tamborazo thing has been going on for at least a couple of years now. There are you tube videos of it with 2013 and 2012 dates, same weekend. I suppose this one was so much worse than the others but how is it that after 2-3 years of this unpermitted mess on the lakefront same July weekend, nobody was even remotely ready for it? Will CPD gold stars plan for it next year? I say crack down. No alcohol allowed in and no permit equals no event. And if people get out of control, I want to see sticks swinging and I want to hear the sound of walnut on bone.
I just heard about this site from a co-worker. I hope it's okay to post since I'm not a police officer.
I want to reach two officers with some information. I had a customer tonight at our restaurant at Western and Cortez who picked up the tab for two police officers who weren't sitting anywhere near her. She left before they did any made me promise not to tell. I don't have her name because she paid in cash. But in case they read your site, she said her brother is an officer in 17 (I'm not sure what that means) and she was "paying it forward."
I thought that was really nice of her and wanted them to know.
2,000 ....500 or 5.....
the city lost the lake front.
How does this go unnoticed, where is the park security, bike unit, etc. No one questions a band setting up?

That's because this is a "good" part of the city, so it needs no real police "force". You get that right? All of our resources must be deployed to the underprivileged areas to keep them from killing each other.
Isn't that a kick in the pants, underprivileged? How about over served? Out of controlled? Undeserving? I could go on.....
Back to the Taste. So 1.1M people went. AVC7 reported that Giordanos sold 33,000 slices of pizza. I would guess that Chicago deep dish pizza would be a popular item at an event like this. So how come only 3% of the people had a slice? I call BS on attendance. But, then again, it was all about Chicago. Too bad the crowd couldn't get a taste of our delicious shootings or 5 star murdering gang bangers. City is a disaster. Stay safe coppers.

Funny thing, every summer when ALL units had to give up people, cars and or wagons for the summer mobile force they said the same thing!
They always had the same people going there and the usual bosses running it. It did work...
They had a good beach party at the end of the season but with too many bosses trying to be a sponsor, it got too big and ruined the whole thing.
Animals have taken over Chicago's lakefront parks. Why would any normal Chicagoan or out of towner want to visit the lakefront parks when they look like third world countries on the weekend?
I was there. Add at least 1 more zero and double that number.
How did the Predictive Analysis Unit miss this promo and all?
Rahm, you have to spend money to make money. Hire more cops. You and your predecessor have successfully depleted the CPD to dangerously low levels. The "good" high paying citizens are catching on. People are avoiding downtown and boystown.
After the shooting a couple of weeks ago as well as this incident, I'm sure that there are many boat owners who rent slips ($$$) at Montrose that are re-thinking where to get a slip next year. That is, if they still want to even live in Chicago.
Ok so the dept says we lost the lakefront with only 500 people! WOW.
When is the last time you heard of them stripping the airport of manpower to send to the lakefront.
Granted, it was only a few guys, but when you only have 60% of an already stripped unit, thats a lot.
At least it wasn't close to my pretty loft.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
It looked more like our southern border than our lake front....minus the free hot meals and the virus
Question: How is it that this event was advertised widely on the internet and NO ONE from CPD 35th St knew about it. Hell the North Side Districts seem to know about the critical mass people every month! Just what does the Intelligence Division do? Play solitaire all day?
How about you need a city sticker on your car to park at the beach. The north shore does it.

"Sanctuary City" means what it says. Do whatever you want.
500 lol there were well over 500 vehicles, not counting thousands of scumbags, like the burbs do charging admission to use their facilities the city needs to do this for non residents would generate billions fund our pension,lower our taxes win win rahm crew but you have no testicular fortitude!
Clearly a CPS early-exit alum. That's as high as they can count.
They can take all the people hidden inside on phantoms cars!! It will never happen
If any of the genius gold stars are reading. .... this is what you do: Call CDOT, have them send yard trucks and laborers, have laborers load musical equipment and beer onto trucks, deliver cargo to impound lot to sit outside until court date. Have tow trucks tow away beer trucks. Next year they go to burbs.
Except for once in awhile enforcement the Park District is on the honor system until sh-t hits the fan.

Airports have only 30% of needed and budgeted! I made my calls to chinaman told me to wait for many openings like they did couple of years ago!

Very nice of the lady. I'm sure it was appreciated.

The North Shore does not live off tourist income and beg people to come into their towns to vacation and spend money. THAT is the difference.

Thanks for posting something nice here (it's a pleasant change). She sounds like an okay lady.

Sounds like someone is unhappy that he can't get to the Airport.
Do a little research. The CPD officers are funded by the Department of Aviation.
Naaa, I'm thinking they're the same people who counted 1 million at the Gay Pride parade...
Can we get a video of the music?
Was Rahm there?

I work in 017 and am guessing this is the sister of an officer on 3rd watch. She and his niece brought us dinner on Thanksgiving compliments of Ald Tunney from his restaurant. Good people.
