McLiar Says Media....Lies!

  • Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said Friday there’s a “lag time” between the perception and reality of crime that, in New York City, took five years to eliminate.

    The gap between perception and reality in Chicago could take even longer to narrow, if Friday’s City Council hearing was any indication.

    On the hot seat to defend police crime statistics, McCarthy talked of a city unfairly known as the murder capital of the world that had actually closed the books on July with a 7 percent drop in murders over the same period a year ago and the lowest number of murders since 1963.
And that's just in the Sun Times. The Trib is a bit more blunt:
  • Chicago police Superintendent Garry McCarthy today defended the way the department keeps track of its crime statistics and took a shot at the media, complaining that news organizations often report crime numbers "without context."

    His remarks came at a City Council committee hearing prompted by stories in the media and a report by the city’s top watchdog that have questioned Police Department statistics under McCarthy’s leadership.

    Flanked by other department brass, McCarthy told about a dozen aldermen in attendance that violent crime in the city is at its lowest in decades but that message has been obscured by news coverage and social media chatter.

    Citing a recent news story from WBBM-TV, the superintendent contrasted TV coverage of the recent violent Fourth of July weekend, saying stations averaged 4 1 /2 minutes of coverage, but on an Independence Day weekend 20 years ago that he said had even more killings, the media reports averaged 34 seconds.
But here's McNumbersGame comparing today's homicides numbers to 1963's. So it's okay if McLookAtMe compares numbers from previous years, but the media is naughty if they changed and adapted to the market 20 years ago? What an ass.

He also glosses over this:
  • McCarthy also discussed what he called false claims made by Chicago Magazine in two stories earlier this year that questioned if McCarthy's administration properly counted homicides and other crimes.

    The magazine alleged that the department underreported the number of homicides in 2013 in several different ways, including incorrectly classifying some as death investigations. According to the magazine, the department has also been improperly classifying property crimes such as burglaries and thefts as misdemeanors instead of felonies, enabling McCarthy to claim that overall crime in the city is down.

    As he has done before, McCarthy today pointed out what he said were a number of inaccuracies in the stories.

    The city’s Inspector General’s Office released a 24-page audit report in April that showed the department had underreported aggravated batteries and assaults by about one-fourth in 2012.

    The audit showed the department failed to follow state guidelines by counting each aggravated assault or battery as one incident, not each victim as it should have. But the report found no evidence that the department’s crime-reporting errors were intentional.
"intentional." Right. They just happened to skew in the direction that crime was down and strategies were working, regardless of what the numbers said in a system so corrupted that one of the NYPD creators of the program actively speaks against it as a truthful way of reporting crime.

And there were only a dozen aldercreatures there, so this was all show for campaign flyers. Complete bullshit.

Blame it on the fact that at 75% of the command staff have had at least one meritorious promotion. Meaning that they were not smart enough to pass a test. So how can you expect them to be smart enough to run this department.

Restricting information

Wanting to "take down that blog" because they're angry that they can't move their agenda forward in total secrecy and impunity.

...Which indicates that they have no intention of doing right by the men and women of this Department and the taxpayers who pay the disproportionate amount of the freight to make Chicago go.

...Which means that the mayor and stupidintendent do fully intend to conceal themselves from ever being held truly accountable for the lack of a coherent, common sense strategy to try and check the savage butchery and nigh near cannibalism on the streets of the South and West sides without stealing much needed Police resources from areas populated by decent people bearing the brunt of Urban Death Cultists flocking from their Police saturated breeding grounds to predate/spew death and destruction where the Police AIN'T.

Changing the meanings and definitions of words and terms from the well established plain and simple common sense English of the common sense man to something sublimely ridiculous and fully contemptuous OF the common sense man.

Madly gyrating, thoroughly juked, bojanked and made to take it in the ass while doing a back bend statistics.

Incredible? So are those stats drunkenly crashing into each other in McWetBrain's hot and feverish mind.

Good men can't even begin to conjure this eye watering shit without sweating, screaming, shitting the bed, dying and rotting miserably in it.

Anyone putting any credence in what this way overpaid, way underperforming law enforcement gypsy chimney shaker spews from his lying cake hole or any numbers pertaining to crime and or CPD manpower is a bigger fucking cretin than he is.

This being Chicago...
Sweet Salvation on an Ass, there is no lack for cretins in this town.

Jesus Wept and still does.
Every good man with an intact conscience and a soul should too.

Emanuel, McCarthy, The City Council, the Exempts and the media are hate filled savages just like the Death Cultists burning this city to a crisp.

Perception is reality.
Surround yourself with (meaningless) people behind you and it's perceived that you are an accomplished leader.

Nietzsche had theories on interpretations in that people see what they want and perceive what is true by what is the current trend.
GMac is attempting (at the behest of Rahm Emanuel) to alter the perception of crime. He's not concerned with the actual crime but the result it creates.
Their powers are diminished if the statistics are true. Their manipulations are designed to less than truthful.

I'm just a citizen who tries to understand all of this stuff and I can see that McCarthy is BS-ing as is Rahm and most of the Press. They report what they are given---unlike the olden days, they do not do any actual reporting on their own.
My guess (and most other people) is there are more murders/shooting and all crimes than are reported. Not to mention plenty of crimes go un-reported because there are a limited number of CPD to respond.

CAPS in not the police and neither are cameras. More and more people are becoming dis-enchanted with the problems as the more minor crimes affect them. How many times do you need to get broken into before you get disgusted and leave the city?

All the detective just received orders to classify all AGG bats correctly by changing the UCR codes.

Of course only the one that will downgrade the truth.

The alderman need to put Mcarthy under oath and make him sign an affidavit that he is telling the truth.

If he is caught lying use the Rules violation and put him before the Police board for conduct unbecoming
and falsifying a police report and official misconduct.

The Alderman then start lining up exempts who will testify that they were ordered to do this or be fired and NO PENSION!

Very easy if RAHM wanted to find the truth.

Smoke and mirrors crime fighting by the numbers. This is how you fight crime? Manipulate the numbers by finding a small difference in numbers at a point in time that shows that in 1963 by the end of July there were less homicides then by the end of July of 2014. How was it in 1863?

Rather than suing to make public complaints against officers, they should sue to have every police report made public. At least the original case report with certain info redacted. If a case was reclassified all of the reports justifying the reclassification too.

Ok, let me jump in here with some facts from Wikipedia. Chicago's population in 1960 was 3,550,404. In 2012 (last census) is was 2,714,856. That's a decline in population of 835,548 people. The current murder rate in Chicago is 29 per 100,000 meaning that the number of murders for that 800K+ would be about 345 for the year. Divided by 12 months that would pro=rate about 28 more murders per month or 230 more for Jan-Aug this year. On top of the approx. 220 we already have, that's 450 murders YTD. Extrapolating these numbers you would have 115 murders from Aug-Dec based on the missing population; 150 more murders from Aug-Dec based on an average for each month of only 30. 115+150=265 more murder for 2014 on top of the 450 we should actually have (based on the 1960 population) giving us a grand total of 715 minimum for 2014. So, what's it mean? If we have the 1960 population today, the murder rate - even with medical technology as is - would be about 700 + per year. McNumbnuts? Comments?

Absolutely Any Comparison of Death stats between the 1960's and today is absurd, because of the strides that have been made in emergency medical care since the 60's. In addition, in the 1960's the population of Chicago was not in the decline it is currently experiencing. But getting back to the deaths, I have seen people shot and surviving today, who would have been dead under the same circumstances, 5, 10 or 15 years ago. And to watch the Aldermen sit there and not raise intelligent challenges to this; it was like watching the old Soviet Union under Stalin. I am retired CPD, and have stayed here but it is sinking in that I have to move. The Post-Election Property Tax will be the last straw.

Murders down by half from 20 years ago,same for aggravated battery and aggravated assault.
Knocks down the argument about the city population almost the same 2.8 compared to 2.7 million
and finally shoots down the argument of better trauma treatment. Dr did study of all the trauma cennters and trauma hospitals and study shows less shooting victims now than 20 years ago. Just sayin. Watch the report its a good comparison from 20 years ago.

Chicago Police Supt. Defends Crime Stats At A 'Charade' City Council Hearing

There were less than 20 aldermen at today's three-hour hearing, held by the joint committee on workforce development and public safety, which did not have a quorum.

In remarks to reporters after the hearing, Progressive Caucus member Ald. Bob Fioretti (2nd) asked, "What did we really have at the end?"

"We only had a couple of aldermen. We didn't have a quorum for the committee," he said. "What does that say about what we're doing as a city council, as a city and as elected aldermen here?"

"What kind of charade did we see today? It's typical of the administration, and then they didn't get to the questions that were necessary. We can compare data ... from 20 years ago. So what? ... I think we can all agree with the superintendent that crime is driven by poverty, lack of educational resources [and] the inability to address those resources. But what did this administration do? They closed schools. They turned their backs on communities."

The drug cartel coyotes are really raking in the doe from this operation. $7K and more per kid.

I suppose the real reason the child trafficking operation was set-up was that the cover was blown off the DOJ's gun running operation so...

remember: "once the drug cartels are here it's like the H1-N1 virus a while back when the leaders of this country boldly told us:

People deserve to know the truth. Area detectives are told to classify home invasions as "forcible entry burglaries" which everyone knows is a lie. How can someone kick in your front door, duck tape you to a chair, then ransack your house not be a home invasion. This is not a crime that should be hidden from the public. Later on if the offender is caught they can't upgrade it past a burglaries so the guy gets the same punishment as if he broke into someone's house when no one was home. On scene when they come out they are told to force the officer to reclassify the report otherwise they will on there end. This has to stop!!

Yeah, Chicagos' Broken Windows crime fighting is suppose to send the message that breaking a window, tagging a building, will not be tolerated in this community and therefore the more serious crimes will be prevented.

Yeah, look around 26th street as one example don't you see it working?

Get that minister of information, that Baghdad Bob guy they called him on the mayors staff.

Ol' Bob can tell the people of Chicago "there's no graffiti within 100 miles of here. we fought the taggers and they fled to the back"

Yet, he pounds on the door of every media outlet whenever he has some message he wants to get out, or some spin he wants to put on an issue. Why would he do that if the media is not to be trusted?

I was reading about the former Gang Leader Angelo Roberts and ran across this in one of the articles I read in the Tribune from 1995.


"The slaying of the man tentatively identified as Roberts was one of nine homicides over a bloody stretch beginning about Saturday and lasting through Monday morning. Eight of the homicides were shootings, and three of the victims were teenagers. At least 27 other people were injured by gunfire over the weekend."


How is Chicago any different than 20 years ago? Media still reports the same.Violent weekends are news, but I don't really recall them being front page news. 4 1/2 minutes on a weekend where 82 people were shot seems about accurate(not 8 and "a few dozen" like CBS claimed). That "bloody stretch" of violence from the 90s still happens. I'm just sure none of them were considered death investigations. Hell, by today's standards it would be unclear for about a year & 2 months how Angelo Roberts died.

(This in response to a article CBS released)

How many assholes can fit in this clown car? Lets compare stats to 50 years ago?! Who gives a shit? Crime is rampant north, south, west, and central. Why doesn't McCunt get off the soapbox and do something proactive. And if you are so scared of your boss that you're afraid to shit without permission then you need to move on. Have a nice day.

McRahmsyesman is right. There is "perception vs. reality". The public's perception is that he knows what the fuck he is supposed to be doing. The reality is, well, you already know that...

So let me get this straight - using Chicago's counting method...

Columbine = 1 shooting
Georgia Tech = 1 shooting
Fort Hood = 1 shooting
Sandy Hook = 1 shooting

There, all better now

Dear SCC,

Whoever runs and narrates this site
Has fucking balls of steel.

Whoever you are, thank god for you're little tidbits of truth.

Whoever you are, I hope you are high level CPD or the same being retired, because this kind of commentary gives me hope in humanity considering the shit hole and corruption you have to deal with.

My sincere hats off to you bad motherfuckers with the balls to be
Willing to speak the truth without a diatribe of political bullshit and in simple paragraphs pointing out the stupid press release BS and propaganda puke spit out by incompetent elitist "leaders".

The format at SCC is leading the way across America and is/will be a model across the USA to expose the corrupt cocksucking liar political fucks with no moral values.

Thank you men, and I don't use the word "men" loosely.

Back in the day ,(now I sound as old as I am) there was news at 6 and 10..no "morning show", no 4:30 preview after the 4 pm early news, and certainly no cable news networks keeping it real. Ron Burgendy gave the "true" news before heading over to Barney's Market Club to meet up with the "ladies". But of course, they could not do their stuff before that fact checking dynamo DAN RATHER gave us the first reading. Give me a break, even the liberals understand how f'd up this reasoning is. I've been on the fence but this dude is worse than the sorry ass losers on The Wire…and those guys were made up.

The earlier comment regarding "Baghdad Bob" is amusing.

Who's running media or public affairs today? I'm retired and out of touch.

I seem to recall many clout monkeys from Bridgeport and Beverly in that unit back in the nineties.

Could we get a Bridgeport or Beverly Bob/Bev to start answering questions on McCarthy's behalf?

"Flanked by other department brass..."

Jeez... The city is still putting on these Soviet era beauty pageants?

Can you look at the pictures (just like in Pravda of old) and tell who is out of favor with the Politburo aka those in the "Inner Party Rolodex of Evil?"

These incompetent-assed, clouted by gestation, affiliation, ingestion, injection or a combination of all of the above gold stars should be giving thanks that they don't have to face being marched off to a sub basement in the Lubyanka and given a state ordered bullet to chew on...

Rahm and the media would love to see a bunch of us marched off for execution anyway just because we wear a blue suit of clothes with a star pinned to our chests.

>Pfffft!<

Policemen are literally being run down on the streets anyway...

Police like you have no friends.
Remember this season of hatred.
Hopefully we can one day witness
revenge being taken for our compounded
grief and aggravation.

It's not because a Policeman did or didn't do
a damned thing... It's because a Policeman
represents a now bygone ideal and the
powers that be are seeking to destroy any
collective memory of that ideal because it's
outmoded to them and they had no hand in
shaping it. Thus they feel that no one should
have any use for those ideals or the people
who bitterly cling to them.

-How Societies and Civilizations Are Destroyed 101-

Attack, dismantle and cause to rot from within, those institutions with know-how, collective muscle memory, cherished martial and public service traditions.

"In The Name of The LAW!"

Not "In the name of whatever suits the whims of mean, cowardly and fickle men like a mayor, a city council, community activists and the media."

Do we have mutual understanding now?

Just another Sunday rant from a: "Too old, mean, brutal, 'typically a high school drop out', insensitive, racist, hateful, 'angry cuz it isn't 1960 anymore' Chicago Cop standing in the way of progress and change!"

The silly progressive children clap their hands and are giddy with joy over CPD being "forced" to change.

They're a bunch of cowards because they don't have it in them to address the real problems at hand.

It surely isn't The Police rendering vast swaths of this city into festering fever swamps of wasted resources, hatred, willful ignorance, artfully avoided responsibility and death worship.

An answer is being forced by relentlessly attacking The Police by virtue of them actually having rules to abide by and doing just that for the most part.

The same Police tasked with trying to do something about those fever swamps. With one hand tied behind their backs.

Something I don't hear mentioned when it comes to crime stats is the fact that a great deal of people (have to) avoid places throughout the city that they'd likely get mugged, raped, mugged and raped and shot, etc. That, listen Gery, can lead to a *perception that an area is safe.

Significant changes in violence in Chicago are indicated by the ever rising number of times a week that there are reports of police being shot at, the increase in instances where police must use their weapons against armed people. That did not seem to be the case 20-30 years ago or even 10 years ago. It's a much more violent society out there now. More weapons and shootings. I don't know whether homicides are up or down, I'll take the Superintendents word on it but when you see citizens in historically less violent neighborhoods openly destroy police cars during picnics and parades, it appears to the average citizen that the city is lost. A lot has changed and it doesn't seem to be for the better. I truly wish it can change back to what it was.
