What a Weekend - Revisited
Not sixty shot - it was 77. 82 if you count the police shootings, but we usually don't:
- For 10 minutes, it seemed like the shooting was everywhere in the South Chicago neighborhood.
It started when someone shot and wounded a couple, then two people fired at the shooter, then there was a chase and shots exchanged and a man sitting on a porch was hit. Responding officers kept cutting each other off on their radios as they reported other gunfire in the area late Sunday night and early Monday morning.
Then the heavy equipment rolled in: A helicopter and SUVs packed with lockers of rifles. SWAT teams in green coveralls patrolled the streets with uniformed officers.
That was truly disconcerting - being at the scene of one shooting, then having another go off just around the corner, not once, but two and three times, culminating in a three-by-four block area being pretty much shut down....and then more shots fired.
Garry has a theory about what happened:
Garry has a theory about what happened:
- At a press conference, a briefing regularly used to tout the Police Department’s gun seizures, McCarthy returned to a favorite theme, calling for stiffer penalties for gun crimes as a way to reduce the violence.
The superintendent said the weekend’s violence actually was lower than last year’s holiday weekend – until Sunday’s surge of violence. He described that turn of events as a head-scratcher for him and his staff and wondered aloud if officer fatigue played a part.
“It was yesterday that we lost it,” McCarthy told a crowd of reporters at a West Side police station. “We're square-rooting nine ways from Sunday what is it that happened. Was it a fatigue factor? Did we give (too many) people (time) off? Because the fireworks were Friday and Saturday. That's where we had a lot of folks deployed during those time frames.”
Another brilliant move by McDeepThinker - speculate about exhausted officers, then think about further restricting their down-time, elective time and days off. You better not make any concrete plans the rest of the year - especially if you're on the teams that are already having one day off a week canceled.

Yes, because when I think of CPD, I think of "time off". You don't have any, and as a result, you're past a breaking point. But somehow due to City Hall math, it's cheaper to throw you OT then it is to hire more cops.
None of it makes any sense.
McStent better not make any plans either. He'll be gone by February. Early money is on Eddie Johnson.
Perhaps the 10 hour schedule should be implemented citywide to allow for officers to rest longer on their off days so as to avoid further burnout and fatigue.
“It was yesterday that we lost it,” McCarthy told a crowd. I have to disagree with the super. He lost it long before yesterday.....
I do agree about stiffer penalties for UUW offenders though. Cook County is way to easy on crime. I don't know how anyone couldn't agree.
Not to worry, infantrymen in a combat zone have it worse off and get paid less. Just follow orders to the best of your ability and keep your head down. Winter will eventually come and things will slow down.
RDOs ? We dont need no stinking RDOs.
Oh, THAT explains why they cancelled VRI today!
WTF? What is this whiny double-talk?
Your grandfathers took Bastogne and they were exhausted.
This has NOTHING to do with exhaustion. This has to do with a BS plan from the get-go, no esprit de corps, and no training to quell a bunch of savage idiots.
This nice-guy politician police chief should be relieved of command. PRONTO.
You gotta go in there and crack some heads. Show them who is boss ahead of time and tell them if they F'ck around, you're gonna come back and break 'em in two.
AND THEN - COME BACK AND BREAK 'EM IN TWO!
The pussification and wussification of CPD leadership has to stop.
Hell, "CPD leadership" is a God-damn oxymoron.
Of ALL Holidays, Fourth of July is a mess. Shame on you. Isn't anyone a leader there?
I find it fascinating that McCarthy/Emanuel blame "lax gun laws." These same laws exist NATIONWIDE. Why is it Chicago continues to lead in shootings?
rb
And so Rahm and the Super don't know why all the shootings??? Are they stupid?? How about bringing back God? How about going to Church, how about 2 parent households, how about not using drugs, how about parental responsibility, how about individual responsibility, how about tough consequences, how about paying attention in school, how about working hard and not looking for a freebie, how about breaking the code of silence?? This city will go on fire someday and looks like it will blow up pretty soon. Good citizens are not going to stand for this. Officials better take action quickly cause Chicago and its people are going to hell in a hand-cart. Rahm keeps saying these shootings are not acceptable...he's just babbling away cause he has no answers. How about he's not acceptable? Rahm and Quinn: pull the plug on welfare...no welfare for criminals, start somewhere.
Memphis Police apparently caught the blue flu it appears it has something to do with getting FUCKED OVER, gosh I hope that it doesn't spread here like H1N1, might have to sit this weekend out just like the Memphis Police.....
His salary isn't what the public agrees compensates the head of our department for the job of being a superintendent. His pay is hush money decided by a small dictator who makes sure to hire at an exorbitant rate high enough to ensure the words he speaks please his boss.
Try the simple truth, for a change, just once.
We are undermanned. This city used to deserve better. Now it deserves what it elected.
It deserves the schools, the violence on the street, the potholes, the rat infestation, the most corrupt politicians, the high cost of fees, fines, and taxes, the high cost of doing business...
Obviously this was the fault of the police, the Federal government and the gun manufacturers. Absolutely no responsibility for the people that live in that area.
The Superintendent should think out of the box on this one. Since the only production coming out of these areas seems to be violence, maybe hand out LINK type cards in these areas that could be used to purchase Marijuana on the tax payers dime. Might be a way to slow down the "production" in those areas.
Well wtf does everyone think is gonna happen when lawyers and judges favor the gangbangers in violent crimes decisions. The public is to blame for all these crimes that's the bottom line. 1 dog gets shot and it FU to the police. 1 gangbanger with a gun gets shot and its FU the police didn't have to shoot him. Its time and time again the same bullshit and the media and people actually buy this crap. Hey I'm no detective here but to me it seems that these neighborhoods where the majority of crimes is happening is pretty much a predominantly "BLACK" neighborhoods. Oooopppss another problem here people are not suppose to say that cause its not politically correct. Hey FU tell it how it is....be safe brothers and sisters in every and any police department out their remember we all did all we could and now its time for the people to open their eyes and realize all the "BS" scrutiny that a police officer works with...The police can not police the way they should because the gangsters have rights too. Hey how about everyone that would like to live in a peaceful society don't they have rights too. This is what the public wanted!
Sounds like we either need a new coach/superintendent or 007 needs a Chief too run it. Someone is in for a promotion. whoooo!
McCarthy get well soon id be having a heart attack too if I had to work next to the mayor and aldermans and reverends and all the nonsense they bring to the table...
I can see it now, no more then 3 officers off per night. Big props to the coppers that continue to go out there and bust their ass for this department.
No Leader Ship. None. No one speaks up for the tax payers as in are we safe? Cunts.
Time to get out before your home is worthless. Most likely you could not sell if you tried without taking a loss.
Outside looking in: McDeepThinker had no idea what he was getting into. He needs to head back. Everyone in America knows how bad you have it. At least Detroit has excuses for their crime. (Decades of problems,hiring, financial, lack of whole communities to keep afloat) With the great Cops you have, there is no excuse for what they have done, the destruction of a once Great City. God Bless and get out while you can!
Officer fatigue? This is true. We're all tired of Garry Mc Carthy.
The workers on this department, you know who you are, need to work harder.
The dogs, people in spots and medical abusers certainly can't get us out of this.
If not the workers then who ?
How can the Department continually not allow time off for police officers? Something is gonna crack.
What a complete asshole. He's trying to spin this as us being responsible for the violence.
Even if you're willing to go along with his preposterous idea that officer fatigue could've played a part ..... his solution is simply illogical. Further restrict time due.
Yep that would sure help with any officer fatigue... simply deny them time off and make them work, work, work.
Brilliant!!
I can tell you it's not because they have allowed any time off. Where I'm at, we are on our 5th of 12 straight days working because of canceled RDOs. Then after that they were nice enough to let us have a Thursday off just to cancel the next day and start 5 straight again.
Getting shot is for pussies.
Call me when your dead.
Not to worry, infantrymen in a combat zone have it worse off and get paid less. Just follow orders to the best of your ability and keep your head down. Winter will eventually come and things will slow down.

OK tough guy, then show us how it's done. Lead the way
Cozzi cracked some head and showed em whos boss. And look what it got him
Those days are OVER
I'd say McCarthy's assessment is right on target.
Coppers lost control of this city. Where is your
own personal pride, guys and gals? It's not like
you haven't had goofs at the top ranks of the CPD
before, but you all managed to keep it together.
Where's your own personal motivation to go out
there and do a good job, everyday that you're out
there? Is that too much to expect?
Time for the unions to start speaking about manpower shortages.
Shove your 10 hour days up your ass.
This is straight up nonsense.
Tired police don't shoot up friends, family and neighbors.
Tired police don't take their kids out for a haircut at 2AM.
Tired police don't crawl out from under cars or turn in alleys and shoot at police.
Tired police are tired because they do work. Dangerous, life and sanity endangering work.
Tired police are glad to get home safely to their families.

Don't worry help is on the way. Utilizing a new strategy that combines two of Rahm's pet projects, giant puppets will soon be patrolling the city on bikes. They will be using the bike lanes to speed from shooting to shooting. Can't wait until the Trib has their first story with a "witness" talking about how a 15 foot tall Pinochio shot a gun toting honor student who was on his way to get his grandma's cancer medicine at the all night pharmacy.
"Police were radioing about hearing gunfire all over the neighborhood, and a district lieutenant ordered a perimeter over a three-block-by-four-block area. No one was taken into custody."
"As a helicopter circled overhead, someone shot up a house a few blocks south on Exchange Avenue..."
"McCarthy returned to a favorite theme, calling for stiffer penalties for gun crimes..."
As the helicopter circled...
Did anyone see channel 2 news last nite, where a neighborhood activist was screaming about gun violence, and during her speech, a teenager in the background had a t-shirt that said "warning, I don't follow directions". Classic !!!
Merit sergeants and their sponsors from 2007 to the class before the last sgt class:
http://www.scribd.com/mobile/doc/233006336
We are witnessing Democrat Crisis Control at its best, that goes back to Rahm's days with the Clintons. The Super tells us hey this was not as bad as last year, until the surge Sunday. So what he is really saying is that it WAS WORSE than last year, but it is not the result of his failed policy. Sort of the meaning of "is", or a BJ is not really having sex. Two more double digit homicide weekends and Mc is done, and you can count on the replacement being a Black guy for the 2015 election. Chicago Values, remember that term Chicago Values.
Officer fatigue ? Putting some blame on the police?
Snap out of it coppers. Stop acting like a bunch of wussies and start doing your job. 9 for 9. Work harder. Be more aggressive. No time off. And if you make it to retirement you are going to find out just how much the city appreciates everything you gave them. Now get back out there and kick some ass.
One day off a week cancelled?
Come on.
Most teams are working 12-19 days straight. (no time off)
Then after that 12-19 straight days, you get one day off and then right back to another 12-19 straight days in a row!
Ooooo - how would those citizens that complain about the police all the time, complain about their benefits, complain about their pension benefits, complain about how they respond to certain situations - how would they like to work those kind of hours in war zone like conditions?
F them!!!
Great job by our sister blog true news USA. Go on over there an see the merit list and the chinamen who sponsored them. There is no denying your merit now. It in black and white. Can't lie and say you made it on grade now
The workers on this department, you know who you are, need to work harder.

Don't you know by know that your employer doesn't give a sh!t about you and your fatigue.
Rather than hire enough officers to do the job properly, the city would jeopardize the health and welfare of it's employee's.
The question is, how long can one go before PTSD sets in and some seek treatment for it.
Oh, and I see that the FOP is completely silent on all of this.
Chicago must pay NRA....again.

I know how Rahm and Garry are going to solve this problem of gun violence.
They are going to dump more $$$ into these plagued areas.
Let's do a prayer vigil
Let's do a march
Let's buy new t shirts to do this.
Address the real issues and stop pouring good moeny into bad ideas.
Stop pouring moeny to all the Rev's in these areas. They have no impact nor influence on these youths.
Stop midnight basketball - it doesn't work!
Stop sticking your heads in the sand and address the real issues, that the folks that live in these areas, the relatives of these youths and their families are to blame.
Start slapping the crap outta these kids.
Start searching their rooms, the basement, the attic, the younger brother or sisters rooms for the weapons. Look under your front or back porch, in the garage, under the garbage you call a backyard. Turn these kids into the police.
Then, hold the criminal justice system responsible for doing its job (which, in Cook County, fails on a daily basis)
Untie the hands of the police, let them do what they were trained to do.
I hate seeing good cops put through the wringer, only to have the small percentage of jackasses they pinch turned right back out on the street.
Why don't you guys just pull back, establish a secure perimeter, and let these "no snitch" savages just tear each other apart. Give it a year, then move in and just level the whole place - since the only ones left at that point will be the alpha-scum.

Seriously?
What about when you are off duty but have to appear in court 2-4 days a week?
On top of working 10 hour days, you still have to appear in court when required.
12:58:00
It occurred the other day when a reported 308 officers called in sick. media alleged it to be a protest by the officers against leadership and politicians who are threading to take away officers benefits.
The flogging will continue until moral improves
This nice-guy politician police chief should be relieved of command. PRONTO. You gotta go in there and crack some heads. Show them who is boss ahead of time and tell them if they F'ck around, you're gonna come back and break 'em in two.
Even Mary Mitchell was calling for this in her column today.
Can someone, FOP, or anyone start collecting those letters we get for locking up the convicted felon for Agg UUW and the State gives them PROBATION? Why bother enforcing these laws if the ASAs won't go all the way?
Let's see if we can outline where the problems are:
- depleted police manpower
- elimination of a solid citywide unit fulltime.
- VRI (minimum days off)
- VRE/Summer Surge (no days off)
- inadequate leadership
- the CCSA office/felony review
- lenient judges
- ANOVs (the slap on the wrist)
- poor equipment and training
- family breakdown
- poor socialization skills from poor parenting
- gang culture
- politicians catering to the people instead of doing what they should: unpaid pensions, bike lanes, parks, too many festivals (make the city safe first)
- McCarthy (NYC shit ain't working buddy)
- Rahm (go back to D.C.)
There. That about says it all.
Yep you called it. Just watch, no more weekends off. Oh wait . The coppers at 35th street and the academy will still be Monday through Friday straight days with weekends off. They should all go into a Fri/Sat or Sun/Mon day off group and work the weekends on the street. If they don't like it, put them back in a district and in a beat car. That's what they were hired for! Too many inside dollies on this job!
Why isn't anyone shouting it...
Mayor Emanuel promised to "put 1000 more Police Officers on the street" if elected.
Once elected, mayor Rahm Emanuel strips "1,500" Police Officers from the budget.
Officer fatigue...hmmmm...nothing to see here!
I got an idea. How bout we send gold stars to the homes of notorious gang leaders to warn them that they will be held accountable for not only their bad actions but also the bad actions of their underlings! That should do it. Problem solved.
Explain please how "officer fatigue" and "giving too many people the day off" are not contradictory. Does this guy even listen to himself???
Not from Chicago and just recently found your blogsite. It sure seems that the criminal element there has a big say so in your judicial system. Politicians blaming guns is getting old. In all the years I've owned guns, they've never harmed anyone.
It's not the guns, its the irresponsible, uneducated assholes holding the gun. Collect all the guns, then you can start collecting knives, then hammers, ball bats, etc etc.
Its not the tool, its that tribal element residing in your city that shouldn't be allowed to breed and run around loose in a civilized society.
Too many at the Pier??! The pier was a cluster. Almost no manpower. Only by the grace of God did we not lose it on the 4th. Too many problems to list. Poor planning. So the Sup goes on to blame us for fatigue? Way to go! Its not us! There's only so much we can do. Blame the communities afflicted with this plague. They rasied these kids with no moral compas. These kids don't value life, they have no respect for anyone anymore. Until their own communities rise up and turn these kids in we will never get a handle on this. The gun are in the houses of the parents of these kids. Find them and turn them in.
No man is an island,Mc brain needs to sit down with the bosses of Chirack past and discover what was being done then,if it aint broke don't fix it, improve on it but don't try to reinvent the wheel, I know job security is important but he is effing things up to the point of no return!
Get the merit list up....It s the talk of the watch!
I have been watching episodes of a show called "The Wire," that was on HBO from @ 2002-2008.
The (fictional) story is about Baltmore PD, the decline of the city under Democrats (Southern Democrats) and the attempts to control the crime rate and shootings.
The PD even has sessions called "Comstat" where the Supe and his Deputy yell obscenities at the District Commanders and humiliate them in front of their peers!
It is obvious that McCarthy owns this on video. Almost everything that he has done, and that comes out of this mouth, is from this show!
If you have an Amazon Prime account, you can watch it for free - you'll see it for yourself.
Imagine - running a major PD based on fictional stuff in a TV series - no wonder it feels like Chicago has become Evil Disneyland.
To many of command staff made it from patrolman to commander by the Merit selection . Sad but true , they actually believe they are the best and brightest .
Unable to pass a test .
I agree with comments left at 1:08am. They have the
government they elected.
We have to start loudly speaking up that enough is enough already. What a mess we are leaving kids and
grandchildren. Start fighting back.
I wouldn't worry about any of it you guys... It will always be CPD's fault... Rahm and Garry cannot blame the black community or they'd lose their jobs!! So they blame you guys. Take it all in stride... let em clear the gene pool. They are going to do what they want to do anyway... Laws don't matter. Ask em...
Just remember what you do matters in someway, somehow.
Ret. ISP... Be safe out there.
Check out youtube video called; Chicago Prohibition Weekend by Alex Jones. He sums up our shootings and the mayor pretty dang well. Short video only 5 mins but makes good sense.
28 Years on this job. I've seen a lot over the years. This mayhem in the getto will never stop until someone with balls takes the top spot and calls it what it is. The mayor, And Supt needs to address the real source of the problem. The Mayor should report to the media what the cost factor is to the taxpayers for all these shooting. Then he needs to report the cost factor in all the lawsuits that are filed by bottom feeding Lawyers to feed on. Then he needs to set out all the Reverends, And all the liberals that think the police are the cause of all the problems in the Entitlement Community. Mean while ill just sit in the beat car and respond after the fact. Never in my career did I think that this job would come to this. The outrage should be that the Entitlement Community allows this to happen and the good taxpayers of Chicago are paying out money like its nothing.
The police were there to preserve the disorder at time and a half holiday weekend.
These pinko demorats should follow the advise of one of their idols, J. Stalin who said "when all else fails, resort to harsh repression".
The answer to all this gun violence is PARENTING amen
Holy Jeezuz Predictive Analytics ...“We're square-rooting nine ways from Sunday what is it that happened..."
What it is? I'll tell you 'what it is' ...politics.
Rahm can't put people in jail because PrizeWrinkle says too many b & b's are already in there and if she doesn't get her way...she will run for mayor.
GeeWizMac came across as the bulldog but was reduced to Rahm lap dog and the same for any stooge who thinks that they have a plan that will stop the community culture. So it doesn't matter how effective you are, just get the title on your résumé. This city is in the toilet, and the only thing that makes it functional is that the lid is still up.
Oh no he didn't! Did Mccarthy in a round about way blame the P.O.'S for the violence this past weekend. What an asshole! Give it up Garry. You failed as the superintendent. Go back to Newark which is about the size of Rockford Ill. You are in way over your head here in Chicago.
The politicians just need to get out of the way and let the police do their job. Stop and frisk as the officers see fit is the first thing we need.
So the Bronx Ballsack thinks we need more gun laws?
How about enforcing the gun laws we already have on the books?
How about prosecutors actually prosecuting the cases?
How about judges actually handing out appropriate sentences?
How about prisons actually keeping the convicts in for most of their sentences? (Hey Quinn - GFY)
There are a lot of moving parts in the system, and all of them are fucked up.
More gun laws? So tired of hearing that liberal, gun-grabber, bullshit.
For the media types out there, if the 2nd Amendment falls, the 1st Amendment will be soon to follow. Count on it.
Neither a cop, nor a gun-owner.
Jesse jackson says that we need to invest millions more into these neglected communities to bring back the hope.
Did he talk about how cool he thought he looked at NATO in order to spin the reporters?
time for CNN to do a new episode on "Rahms shitcago" its only his and the rest of the liberal democrat shitcago values policies that are the cause of the city going into the toilet..maybe they could bring a few plane loads of illegal aliens to sanctuary shity to help make things better
What does "We're square-rooting nine ways from Sunday what is it that happened" mean?
As always be careful!!
We had a guy in 011 the other day shot on street with a AR type semi rifle 19 shell casings recovered from .223 of course he only got hit once but those rounds go right through body armor. One of the officer killed in Indiana this week was struck by rifle. Be Safe
1.) The Beast has zero moral compass left after being catered to for 50 years. Sorry, it's not "the guns", it's savagery.
2.) The Beast does not fear the police anymore. This is a direct result of the decades old, nation-wide, pussification campaign against law enforcement. The Burge and Cozzi sagas accelerated and intensified this in Chicago because Daley was dependent on a "concensus" to govern the city so his crew could steal on an epic scale. Wilmette native and D.C. resident Rahm Emanuel again had to intensify the war against law enforcement as part of his strategy to stave off indigenous, native mayoral candidates.
3.) We're short handed only in the marginal to good areas of the city. This is making the beast begin to lurk far and wide.
Chicago is in serious trouble and we are in deep shit because the political/financial elite has thrown in with savagery as a means to continue it's corrupt existence.

Where are all the shootings at? Don't mean to point out the obvious. I guess I am a racist and will go away now.
McMiniBalls is right.
I saw tired coppers giving their guns to gangbangers and telling them to 'FIRE'! on other neighborhood residents.
Then the coppers got back into their squad cars and took naps with their teddy bears, enjoying a much-deserved break.
What is this city coming to?
The basis for laws is punishment and consequences. In Cook County we have neither. Therefore there is no law and order. Chiraq has descended into a lawless society. You reap what you sow.
All of the social engineers are bemoaning the fact that America is more segregated than it was before Brown v. the Board of Education. The public is self segregating itself to avoid crime and violence. Check out the maps at Hey Jackass! and the patterns are clear.
Let's change all of the gun laws in neighboring states to please Rahm.
When I last looked Mississippi was not a contiguous state with Illinois, but some of the down home folks sure do love to stock up while visiting the South via I-55/57.
Se some clips of McDufass taking about this weekend at news conference while at the 10h District.
http://girlsjustwannahaveguns.com/2014/07/violent-4th-chicago-60-shootings-july-4th-weekend/
The police should spend time telling potential shooters to "take it to the alley".
There. Fixed.
The killing fields of Chicago.
BTW, where is the outrage from FOP about McDingbat blaming officer fatigue or too many officers off for the shootings??????
Not a fan of Mikey, but at least he used to fire back sometimes.

I do agree about stiffer penalties for UUW offenders though. Cook County is way to easy on crime. I don't know how anyone couldn't agree.
Political answer to a legal question
Ya wanna know why so much killing and shooting? It is simple. The major and main cause is two words. Take your pick: global warming, climate change, or climate disruption. All the same, and that is what is causing a high level of violence, actually world wide, in the mid east, Africa, Ukraine, and Central-South America. The violence is also showing up in Chicago. Studies by the majority of the world's scientests and by our own military have shown what climate change is causing. We as a nation need to take drastic and quick steps to stop and reverse global warming.
I can tell you it's not because they have allowed any time off. Where I'm at, we are on our 5th of 12 straight days working because of canceled RDOs. Then after that they were nice enough to let us have a Thursday off just to cancel the next day and start 5 straight again.
Then quit tact and go back to the watch.
Rham says it's unacceptable as opposed to acceptable,how about unconscionable,without fear of
repercussion, and we must stand on the side of right and bring those to justice who are causing mayhem to our great city!
"How can the Department continually not allow time off for police officers? Something is gonna crack.""
Fuck time off. The best thing I did was take my 24 year seniority and go back to the watch. Gimmie mo VRI.

That's what Ned Stark thought too.
Ya ever notice on social media how the gang bangers post "middle finger to the law"?
Where do they get that from? Obama, right?
Obama wants $3.8 billion dollars that he says will be used to address the illegal immigration problems.
By address I suppose he means:
The money will be used for DHS (welfare, food stamps, and housing, and Obamacare), immigration judges (to speed the legalization of the illegals) and to build detention centers (camps that can be used to house "the unaccompanied illegal immigrant children" for media propaganda purposed to win the hearts and minds).
ICE agents are now being ordered to stand down with paid time off as the border guards have been ordered to stand down.
Meanwhile, Rqahm has gone on record wanting to increase the min wage from $8.5 to $13.00!
That's a 50% increase within five years! Do you think that money is going to come from the corporate executives pockets or will they layoff and/or up prices causing inflation?
It may seem like I jumped around a bit but put two and two together.
Hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants being waived into the country that we have no jobs for -- they are being put on welfare.
Min-wage workers getting huge increases in pay.
Now I ask you. How's that 2% cost of living wage/pension adjustment looking that the union won for everyone?
Just look at the culture crash that is being created. USA destabilization plan much like Syria, Iraq, Libya, etc, etc.
Middle finger to the law, to the congress.
The president and Politburo will do as they please and we don't see any member of congress standing up to it.
Ya ever notice on social media how the gang bangers post "middle finger to the law"?
Where do they get that from? Obama, right?
Obama wants $3.8 billion dollars that he says will be used to address the illegal immigration problems.
By address I suppose he means:
The money will be used for DHS (welfare, food stamps, and housing, and Obamacare), immigration judges (to speed the legalization of the illegals) and to build detention centers (camps that can be used to house "the unaccompanied illegal immigrant children" for media propaganda purposed to win the hearts and minds).
ICE agents are now being ordered to stand down with paid time off as the border guards have been ordered to stand down.
Meanwhile, Rqahm has gone on record wanting to increase the min wage from $8.5 to $13.00!
That's a 50% increase within five years! Do you think that money is going to come from the corporate executives pockets or will they layoff and/or up prices causing inflation?
It may seem like I jumped around a bit but put two and two together.

Not a cop, my dad is a retired paramedic. There is a picture in the Sun Times that sums all of this up. You have 4 cops, it is dark, they are wearing vests, running towards gun shots. What is going through their minds, are they thinking of wanting to make it home that night? I would be pissed if that were me, we arrest the assholes squeezing off rounds and some judge lets them walk or some prosecutor allows them to plead down.
How many police officers do we have now compared to when Rahm took office and promised 1,000 more?
We could have used the extra 1,000.
Real bodies in uniform, not some names added to various work sheets.
To many police officers are assigned to office work in districts and specialized units . Complete waste of tax payer money . Hire civilians to answer telephones , file and type reports
what is up with the new FOP leadership... i kniw they said they did not wanna run around like chicken's with their heads cutt off, like Sheilds... but what is up? not a peep about manpower, contract, sgt test results

Does anyone know where McSuntan was on both Memorial Day and this past Sunday? I do... The Eastbank Club sun deck pool. Tanning and drinking beers. No joke.

Pointing out the obvious does nothing other than, we'll point out the obvious. Pointing out the obvious is also useless if no solutions are pointed out.

Try blaming the savages who have no respect for human life and have had no parental guidance!
I came on in the mid 80's and you were ABLE to be the Police back then.
Enter cell phone cameras/video, storefront play reverends, scumbag attorneys, liberal media and the misguided citizenry and you now have Police Officers that treat these assholes with kid gloves because we refuse to be suspended, fired or better yet, go to prison to appease a thankless (not all) public.
But to blame the CPD, you and the Bronx Ballbag need to get a clue!
BE SAFE MY FELLOW OFFICERS & HELP EACH OTHER OUT!!
Thank you Fox News "the five" for saying it like it is on tonight's broadcast. Called Rahm and Gary liars and blatantly said - do not believe your mayor nor your police supt, Chicago, because they are fudging the numbers and the city is not safe like they are telling you. The five displayed the number of shootings incidents versus the number of shooting victims versus the number of shooting homicides.
Yep you called it. Just watch, no more weekends off. Oh wait . The coppers at 35th street and the academy will still be Monday through Friday straight days with weekends off. They should all go into a Fri/Sat or Sun/Mon day off group and work the weekends on the street. If they don't like it, put them back in a district and in a beat car. That's what they were hired for! Too many inside dollies on this job!

Hey genius we already are in fri/sat, sun/mon dog and work the weekends. Get your facts straight.
How much paper did VRI have to drop?

1.) The Beast has zero moral compass left after being catered to for 50 years. Sorry, it's not "the guns", it's savagery.
2.) The Beast does not fear the police anymore. This is a direct result of the decades old, nation-wide, pussification campaign against law enforcement. The Burge and Cozzi sagas accelerated and intensified this in Chicago because Daley was dependent on a "concensus" to govern the city so his crew could steal on an epic scale. Wilmette native and D.C. resident Rahm Emanuel again had to intensify the war against law enforcement as part of his strategy to stave off indigenous, native mayoral candidates.
3.) We're short handed only in the marginal to good areas of the city. This is making the beast begin to lurk far and wide.
Chicago is in serious trouble and we are in deep shit because the political/financial elite has thrown in with savagery as a means to continue it's corrupt existence.

Beautifully stated my friend!I weep openly at your summation of the hard truths.
Hey Ghost of Patton!
Our FATHERS held Bastogne exhausted, they didn't "take it".
Goofy prick.......
Fatigued? Never. Bring back unlimited VRI !!
Sun Times Editorial columnist Mary Mitchell's bio reads "Mitchell has been called "courageous" and "compassionate" by readers who trust her to give them a voice on issues ranging from police misconduct to the tragedy of Black-on-Black violence." The choice of the word "tragedy" rankles; it connotes something out of ones' control; a plane crash or deadly hurricane. Not the end result of a common and pervasive attitude. The word "tragedy" should be replaced with "horrors" or better yet "shameful epidemic". Plus, as a retired PO, I object to the only other topic she hangs her hat on being police misconduct.
Personally, I think the ghetto insurgency is closer to Boko Harum than ISIS.
These feral savages are engaged in old-fashioned tribal warfare as much as gang violence.
What a MORON your Commander is!!!! Sorry you guys have McCarthy,
he should go back to New York with his Political correctness!! It's hard enough working the streets in the heat & these animals going wild, then he looks to blame time off???he should retire his dumb ass
Great Job this weekend,keep practicing at the range ;)
Grateful none of you were hurt & the good guys went home!
I pray you all stay Safe this Summer! God bless you for your service in Chi~Rac

IF you really know your WWII history you would know that the 101st Airborne Division insists that they did not need to be RESCUED at Bastone.
Relieved...YES
Resupplied ....YES
Rescued...HELL NO!
Thank-you to the Greatest Generation for your service.

The cowardly loser McBeer Nuts only goes on the Row Clownn Cheese-Dick Show to be interviewed brcause he knows Conn is a loser Lap Dog Pussy, who will only lob slow-pitch softball questions at him, and is afraid to appear on legitimate News Sources like Fox, but Bill O'Reilly nailed him good tonight on Nationwide, canning him "highly incompetent" along with puppetmaster Rahmmie, on Nationwide tv, the O'Reilly Factor. Chicago IS the Land of Incompetent Leadrrship, entwined with corruption, nepotism, lies, and kickbacks. Nothing is Legitimate in Chicago. Nothing.

Use all those light duty they want to get rid of.
Officer Fatigue??? I think I worked with that guy out of 024. Uncle Narc-y; I think is what they used to call him.
McCarthy's wondering if they let too many people take time off.
That's a laugh. He refuses to admit that CPD is so damn short of personnel, and that these people NEED the time off to recharge.
They've been cancelling time off for tact teams since April.
Quinn said he'd send the state police, not the Nat'l guard.
Isn't the state broke, and the state police way short too?

It means he is trying to reconfigure the time/space continuum as expressed in Einstein's Theory of Relativity which is normally written as 〖E=mc^2〗.
In this case “E” represents the number of gang related shootings “mc” equals the number of officers given the time off in any district squared.
But McCarthy ain’t no Einstein.
Try a simpler formula. A – B = C.
In this equation, “A” is the number of sworn officers on the CPD when Rahm started, “B” is the number is the number we have today and “C” is how many we are short.
But if you ask Rahm or McCarthy about the manpower shortage you will now get a straight answer.

Trak Auto wouldn't have dared...
I have to chuckle at Kass' call today (July 9) for more cops.
If you haven't read his column today, it's worth the time.
...and it got me to thinking (These figures are approximate so bear with me - likely a lot more accurate than anything out of Rahm's pie hole)...
Chicago fields ~4.5 sworn per 1,000. San Diego only 1.4 per 1,000, LAPD is only about 2.5 per 1,000.
Wanna compare murder rates?
I believe in 2012 San Diego almost hit 50 (3.5/1000), LA hit 399 (7.8/1000) and Chicago? 500 (18.5/1000).
Buying a gun is relatively easy in lalaland. Not so in Chicago.
Gadzooks!
It's more than just cops on the street, Rahm. It's culture (police, citizen, and political), prosecution, detentions, competence of the players, and of course corruption.
Chicago needs to start all over.
If the savages aren't controlled - and soon - we may see a repeat of the great Chicago Fire, metaphorically speaking, and we'll all have a front row seat for the rebirth of Chicago (maybe) and we can see how badly the politicians can fuck it up this time.
McCarthy. You have a "Theory"? You don't even know the meaning of the word. You have problems. The main problems are, that tou and your fellow Stooge CPD Leaders are Incompetent, lazy, liars and Shit-Talkers, just like your crooked little Mayor. You and your Staff have had years to institute some effective results to Chicago's violent crime problems, and all you've done is exacerbate and make excuses, placing blame anywhere you think you can sell the Public another Bill of Goods. News Flash, it Ain't workin. Quit blaming others like typical Democrat Politicians. You wanted the job you got it, and you've blown it ever since. You arent fooling the Public anymore, Democrats. Quit your Laziness, politicing, and excuse-making, and fuckin DO something, NOW, or better yet, GTFO.

I AM NOT A POLICE OFFICER.
Now with that said, EVERYONE deserves blame. Garry McCarthy, Rahm Emmanuel, the courts, the criminals , the parents or parent of the youth criminals, and yes, even CPD. It is your job to enforce the law, that didn't happen this weekend. Yes, we all understand with out a doubt that CPD is indeed under staffed, but that doesn't leave CPD exempt from partial blame for not being able to do their job. The same way mama can't blame not having the little criminals daddy around to help raise him - stern argument, but she isn't exempt. I've been reading this blog for a few years now, and morale on these posts seem dangerously low now-a-days in the CPD compared to the way you men and woman carry yourselves on the streets. I my self and the rest of the people of my neighborhood where some of these shootings occurred this weekend, as well as throughout the year(s) are also not exempt. I myself have wondered the same way you officers who patrol the toughest neighborhoods, "why should I be held responsible or "babysit" these kids because their parents didn't do their job". But at the end of the day, the city was/ is "lost". No, CPD didn't only lose it, and CPD should not hold the most blame either.
CPD could hire back thousands of retired, experienced ex-CPD officers, for all non-front line positions, especially for after the fact assignments. They could be part-time, seasonal, and paid fairly but lower than active member wages. They could be laid off during the winter and return the following summer if atill interested. Democrat Politicians are extremely lazy and incompetent, only knowing how to throw Taxpayer Dollars at a problem, without a plan, and just hope it somewhat works. We need CHANGE, (No, REAL CHANGE, Not obama bullshit) and innovative, cost effective, working solutions, not bullshit rhetoric talk from our Leaders, Quinn, Madigan, RahMcCarthy, Durbin, Dart, AlvareZ, and the rest of the Crew of the Titanic. Many things can bedone, but they are all too politically-correct, pandering, lazy, and incompetent to do anything but talk , blame, and pass the Buck. Bill O'Reilly of FOX was absolutely correct.
hey mcasshat tell your buddy the jerk rahm we need to hire more police they wouldn't be overtired & stressed if there were enough cops on the street.
So, riddle me this Bat Man. How many of those guns were Fast and Furious guns?
I used to get high to Procul Harem songs.
