Got Some 'Splainin' To Do
Remember all those instances of CompStat falsifying crime numbers that Chicago Magazine uncovered? The City Council is going to have a hearing!
- Back in late April, a few weeks after Chicago published the first article of our two-part investigation questioning the Chicago Police Department’s crime statistics, aldermen Scott Waguespack (32nd Ward) and Willie Cochran (20th Ward) introduced resolutions in the city council calling for hearings on the reliability of the department’s crime statistics. More than a third of the council’s 50 aldermen signed on to these resolutions.
So, what about that hearing? Interestingly, yesterday, with less than 48-hours notice, the council’s workforce development and audit committee and its public safety committee scheduled one for Friday morning.
We’ll be there. You can go, too; it’s open to the public. But don’t expect a real hearing.
It’ll be co-chaired by the mayor’s floor leader. It was scheduled at the 11th hour, for a Friday in August, when many aldermen aren’t around. And, according to the hearing notice, includes just one presenter: Superintendent Garry McCarthy.
In any case, here’s the info:
Time: 10:00 a.m.
Place: City Council chambers, second floor of City Hall, 121 N LaSalle Street
Ah, one of THOSE hearings. Not one that gets to the bottom of anything. Just a "hearing" so that the City Council can say, "We looked into this, nothing to see here folks, move along!" That's so much easier than confronting Rahm about how his choice for supernintendo is lowering morale, lowering manpower, lowering city finances, lowering effectiveness across the board, lowering the perception that this is a safe big city, etc, etc
What a bunch of tools.
What a bunch of tools.

So, while Lollapalooza grabs all the headlines, this little 'hearing' will go nearly unreported. Shrewd. Very shrewd.
Obviously this was caused by a few low level employees in the Cleveland office.
You might be surprised. At least one alderman sought input on questions from patrol officers. He does every time McTool has to take questions. Just doesn't make a big deal about it.
Consider this the beginning of the end for McJersey. Rahm is serving him up to take the fall...which is when he'll be leaving.
Speaking of having explaining to do....
Anyone involved in the Glen Evans Witchhunt care to enlighten us SCC readers about the 'coincidence' of Rickey J. Williams being released from the joint tomorrow?
Rickey J. Williams, for those in the memory-challenged department, is the piece of shit that allegedly gave Evans' firearm a DNA sample.
Weird how this 'story' breaks right about the same time he's getting sprung from the pokey on unrelated charges.
What's also weird is how this incident coincides with the release of of the CR lists being published and the re telling of the SOS nonsense.
Me smells a rat. A rat that's missing half a digit.
I'm glad there are outlets such as SCC and Chicago Magazine to provide info that would otherwise been swept under the rug. "Don't look at these fudged crime stats, look over here at the lists of officers with unfounded complaints."
SCC - This July, at least 321 people caught lead (42 dead/279 wounded) vs last July's 256 (47 dead/209 wounded). Its' doubtful a 25% YoY jump in shootings will a mention. Instead, the talk will be about the 5 less homicides.
More lead, less dead.

(OT) look at this rahm and the 50 cowards are not funding he pension keep busting your asses boys and girls!!
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/watchdog/ct-rahm-emanuel-budget-hole-met-0801-20140801-story.html
---- Here's how it's 'gonna' go down ---
-->Hearing Chair: (bangs gavel) 'The meeting shall come to order'.
-->Hearing Chair: 'The Chair calls on Police Supt McCarthy'.
-->Hearing Chair: 'Supt McCarthy, what do you have to say?
-->Supt McCluless: 'The article is wrong.'
-->Hearing Chair: 'Thank you Supt. McCarthy.'
-->Hearing Chair: (bangs gavel) 'Meeting adjourned'.
Then, around 4:00pm today Tiny Dancer's office will release a statement that the City Council *investigated* the allegations made in Chicago Magazine and concluded they were, 'unfounded, and that Supt McClueless has 9.5's full support'.
McJersey must have pics of Rahm molesting small farm animals, or eating puppies for lunch. That's the only thing that makes sense as to why he still has a f--king job!
This just in for this lowlife Aldercreature!

Talk about killing time at night! Nothing better to do, Hey Alderman!
(OT) looks like rahm will not fund our pension the 600 million required will not be put in until he gets reform! Like the reform for Maggie Daley criminal park,DePaul bullshit loosing team stadium, miles of bike trails, paying off the 50 cowards, etc... No money for first responders nope closing schools after putting billions of taxpayers money into repairs then building new ones. We have hundreds of millions for illegals kids and families to come to Chicago free food schools no taxes link cards housing and more but cannot take care of the boys and girls that risk their lives keep anarchy at bay
Karen Lewis you fund the pensions talk about paying bills due the election is yours you stand up to the king rahm run Karen rahm God bless you!
And McCarthy was making the rounds
of TV stations this morning telling the talent
that crime is down seven per-cent
here in Chicago.

Evans pissed on the loafers of a West Side Alderman. Now said Alderman is getting revenge. Easy.
CHICAGO (CBS) – Six aldermen want the City Council to encourage non-profits in Chicago to house and support migrant children who have fled violence in Central America and crossed the border into the U.S.
WBBM Newsradio’s John Cody reports Ald. Ariel Reboyras (30th) and Ald. Edward Burke (14th) introduced the resolution calling for Chicago charities to work with the Obama administration to find housing and support services for the migrant children.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel threw his support behind the plan, who said the city has the resources to provide shelter for 1,000 immigrant children, saying the city can’t ignore their plight.
“This speaks to who we are as a city in welcoming them,” he said.
Let's put them near Ashland and Irving…..
Strong Arm Robberys are down 45%,They are now called theft
Any news of any "bad luck" hitting Chicago Magazine after they dared to question the Rahmfather on crime statistics? Being barred from City Hall, no interviews, lost press credentials, horrible "accidental" fires?

It ain't that weird they guy Evans is a complete goof, he has no leadership skills what so ever. His heads in the right place but he is dumber than a box of rocks. For him to bring xo Lemmer around with him that just shows you have no brain. So therefore I do not feel sorry for Evans one bit.
Maybe he can explain what it means when he says..."There is a decrease in the increase"
A lot of people are still trying to wrap their brain around that one...
OT ,will fop,pbpa ever organize a petition to reduce alder creatures by 40%? 42 voted an ordinance to prevent IG from investigating corruption against alderman , not city workers . Wtf is going on ?
What is cost for all the new schools to educate illegals ?

Sony Biotechnology leaving University of Illinois
Posted: Aug 01, 2014 11:00 AM CST
CHAMPAIGN - A biotechnology-focused subsidiary of Sony Corporation is shutting down operations at the University of Illinois' Research Park and moving to California.
According to Sony spokeswoman Lisa Gephardt, Sony Biotechnology will close its campus office in September and will open a new headquarters in San Jose, California. Gephardt also said that employees were informed of the move on Wednesday, and that 12 of the 22 employees will have the chance to stay with the company. The other ten jobs will be eliminated.
Sony Biotechnology manufactures technology used in protein engineering and the counting and sorting of cells, and employed about 90 people at one point.
The company was founded as Cytometry Services Inc. in 1995, and moved to the University of Illinois in 2000. In 2010, the company was bought by Sony
http://www.wandtv.com/story/26173239/sony-biotechnology-leaving-university-of-illinois
I retired and moved out of Chicago/Illinois a few months ago and one of the reps who came to give an estimate told me that they are so busy that they are closing off dates--unless you call way ahead, you will have trouble securing the moving date you want.
I asked him why they were so busy, and he said he has never seen so many people moving out of Illinois...he said he works Chicago and a 100 mile radius. He said nobody is moving INTO Illinois. I wonder what the stats show.
From the manipulative mouth of a political hack to the mindless ears of corrupt politicians. What's the point? I'll pay the $10 and go see Guardians of the Galaxy, at least I'll laugh at that comedic show. And, the movie probably has more reality than show coming up at City Hall.
Ignore the man behind he curtin I am the all mighty OZ
Doesn't the mayor's floor leader have something else going on ?
Interesting report from Channel 2 TV news. Compares murders and aggravated battery/Assault 20 years ago to today. Might surprise some people. Even includes a trauma dr who states the trauma centers are getting less victims.
http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2014/07/30/despite-media-coverage-chicago-violence-down-significantly-from-20-years-ago/

Haha. Headline on the Trib web edition just now: "McCarthy defends department's crime reporting, faults media coverage."
It's that damn media!! They keep broadcasting all the crime!!
Really dont give a shit...aint been a gocr on my block in 5 years
I told you crime IS down!
Learn it, love it, live it!

What's your point? He was scheduled to be a 'celebrity' bartender at a neighborhood festival and he decided to cancel. Are you saying you think he should have gone ahead with it?
I can't stand the guy, but I really don't see how you could complain because he decided not to do the gig.
Does the mayor think we are really that dumb? We deal with thieves, liars, and assholes who refuse to take responsibility for their actions everyday as part of our basic job description. Why does he think that we don't have him figured out? Pay your bills motherfucker! Stop building unnecessary projects and parks and pay your pension obligations!
McPunchingBag can't bob n' weave too much longer, he's sickly. And Rahm's desperation level increases everyday.
Karen Lewis is just perched and watching.
The Empire is collapsing.
Be prepared for mass give-a-ways from City Hall, renaming of schools, parks and libraries, truckloads or mirrors, the smoke, dogs, ponies and lets not forget those tears and voice tremblings.

-----------------------------------
They better have facilities that can treat tuberculosis, chicken pox, and whatever else these kids are bringing in.
This is a totally orchestrated effort to fu#k over this country and ANY of you that still have an ounce of brains left should be voting ALL these Democrats out.
Bringing in an underclass with no skills to shore up a dependent voting block is pretty fu#king low.
AND - it should be a WAKE-UP call to all the blacks and hispanics already here that their kids mean NOTHING to the system.
All the support for 1000 new illegals is just 1000-person LESS support in the already-born-here ranks.

hey look,the 019 midnight desk crew and their boyfriends LT,s are off again.it must be friday or saturday night.you bottom feeders working the street.TIME DUE-DENIED!
In 1970 we had about 3,369,359....in 2014 we have about
2,695,598…...about 675 thousand less people in Chicago. Sure murders are down......less people to kill and more survive because of better medical care.
Spin that! Can someone compare the numbers?
That's 1,000 extra gangbangers. Thanks Rahm and Obama.
A city taxpayer
Oh good GOD can someone please give us the facts. There has to be at least a couple of high ranking bosses ready to retire that can shed some light on the truth. McCarthy and RAHM are full of shit when it comes to the real numbers. Yes maybe homicide category is down but shooting numbers are way up. What about all those shots fired calls? What about the out of control property crime?
Does this mean we are all done with this contact card bs?
Besides medical advancements I think cell phones save lives. 20 years ago when nobody had cell phones the calls for help were delayed BIG TIME.
I hope this fuckin city burns.
8/01/2014 01:50:00 PM
If you are on the job and your pension depends on the city surviving then I probably won't be able to explain what an idiot you are.
This is an incredible place to live. It is a mess, sure, but fixable. The voters are starting to wake up. Quinn is toast, perhaps that thieving, conniving bastard Emmanuel will follow him out.
Stop whining and do something. Educate your neighbors. An educated voter votes right!

I have a question for the cops reading this.
A friend and I stopped at the McDonalds at Broadway and Granville tonight. We were eating at one of the outside tables when a black man approached the white guy at the next table and asked for 30 cents for some coffee. The white guy politely said no. Then he approached us and we politely said no. Then the black guy got nasty. He called the three of us WHITE TRASH and then yelled a few other threatening things. I was worried he was going to wait for us when we left McDonalds. Fortunately he did not.
So what am I supposed to do when a beggar says some racist threatening things to me and I feel endangered? Should I call the police? Would the police show up?

8 people killed over the July fourth weekend compared to 12 20 years ago? Try 16 dead in 2014, CBS. I'm also sure there weren't 82 people shot in that same time frame on the '94 weekend. Also Isn't chicagos population 2.5 mill? Didn't 200,000 lucky bastards flee the city, which made Toronto the 4th biggest city in North America? The most violent chicago neighborhoods today are also MORE violent than they were 20 years ago. The city overall is less violent, but the most violent neighborhoods from that era aren't. But Do they think people believe Or actually care what a stat says, when you can find 50 gang bangers from 20 years ago that will tell you " Chicago has gotten crazy"? It doesn't explain why residents in certain parts of the city hear a gunshot every night the same way they did 20 years ago. "Decent" residents in certain neighborhoods I mean. Not the ones who wreck havoc then jump on a " Chiraq" documentary and claim "we do dis cause we gots to".
And McCarthy was making the rounds

8/01/2014 09:44:00 AM
Woah, Woah, Woah, a whole seven percent? Last time I actually paid attention to McCarthy crime was down 10% ! I know (Call me crazy ) that it seems murders are way down (City didn't put up its usual July murder numbers, atleast between 50-65 is about normal) but shootings are indeed up. But what's up with the 3% increase in crime? Yet "people think crime is up 'cause the news is reporting it more". 'cause, well, ya know, crime in Chicago is a hot topic now and people want to know where the fuck they are gonna be robbed, shot, stabbed, when venturing off in to the city.
What about the BROKEN WINDOWS?

Yes, call the police and sign a complaint for assault and disorderly conduct and the shithead will go to jail. If you fail to call 911 don't expect anything to occur. This is how neighborhoods turn to shit.
Where the "innies" and "outies" reported correctly?
To 1020 on 8-01-
I would not be so quick to call someone a liar if I were you. I recently retired and now live in a neighboring state. There is a brand new subdivision being built near my home. I stopped by one day and struck up a conversation with the developer. When I told him that I recently moved there from Illinois he asked me what was up with Illinois, why was everyone moving out of Illinois. I asked him what he was talking about. He then told me that the vast majority of people that purchased lots and signed a contract to build a home were from Illinois. Now as the homes are being built, all I see are cars with Illinois plates.

If you called the police you'd be labeled a 'racist' and there would probably be no one to send anyway.

Aggressive panhandling is no longer a crime in this berg. In this feel good era, we have allowed the lazy, the parasitic and the mentally insane to hold us all hostage. Put on a pair of blinders and learn to push it out of your head.
There will always be suckers that feed the wild animals, so they will always be there. Be always aware. Never let your guard down.
As far as the racist comment goes, stop being a pussy.
So what am I supposed to do when a beggar says some racist threatening things to me and I feel endangered? Should I call the police? Would the police show up?
Anytime you endangered or threatened always call 911. Have your friend call 911. Keep calling even if the threat goes away. Demand a report from the officer, (assault simple) if we show up in a reasonable time. If you cannot wait, use callback or file online (I'm not sure how online works). If the assault continues do what they taught you in the CCW class. . ; -)

You can call the police about the threatening panhandler.
But didn't ONE of you think to get up and walk into the store and tell the manager? Translation: if manager allows this to go on, customers will no longer spend their money here and business will suffer, so manager needs to address the problem.

Exactly, 20 years ago the media wasn't on a campaign to play to peoples fears. The media wasnt out there to sensationalize all the crime. The 70's were alot more violent than now,it just wasn't reported the same or as quickly through more media outlets.

Interesting report from Channel 2 TV news. Compares murders and aggravated battery/Assault 20 years ago to today. Might surprise some people. Even includes a trauma dr who states the trauma centers are getting less victims.

Saw it and just kept wondering the whole time how they rigged the numbers.
My guess would be magic. The media really wants to downplay the murders in Chicago NOT Some people just don't or won't believe, if the facts don't suit their agenda. I'msure those reporters spent all that time trying to "rig the numbers"

I would not be so quick to call someone a liar if I were you. I recently retired and now live in a neighboring state. There is a brand new subdivision being built near my home. I stopped by one day and struck up a conversation with the developer. When I told him that I recently moved there from Illinois he asked me what was up with Illinois, why was everyone moving out of Illinois. I asked him what he was talking about. He then told me that the vast majority of people that purchased lots and signed a contract to build a home were from Illinois. Now as the homes are being built, all I see are cars with Illinois plates.

Remember this was planned well in advance, contractors were recruited to transport these invaders the interior of our country long before we heard about it. These invaders were coached as to what to say when they got to the border to get refugee status.
But what I think will happen now is that Hispanic gangs here will take some of there narco-money and funnel through the local Rev-runds here to buy (recruit) these invaders. It will be almost like a slave market.
Remember this and VOTE.
C'mon up Mike, you will love it.

Wow, Illinoians buying summer homes in Wisconsin, what a great idea.
Point is, if you sell your home, someone is buying it. So, you may be moving out, but someone is moving in.
Unlike businesses in Illinois. They are moving out without the jobs and tax base being replaced.
The city can survive vacant homes, but it cannot survive the loss of jobs and the taxes generated by manufacturing jobs.
The homes being bought in Wisconsin by former Illinois residents are NOT summer homes. These people like me, have given up on Chicago/Illinois are taking their families elsewhere for a better lifestyle. And believe me, it is a better lifestyle.
