Just What You Want The Tourists To See
- Two drunken men got “superficial” cuts after fighting each other Saturday night near Buckingham Fountain in the Loop, police said.
The incident happened around 10:15 p.m. in the 500 block of South Columbus Drive, according to Chicago Police Department's Office of News Affairs.
The men, whose ages were not immediately available, were both intoxicated, police said. One of the men refused medical attention, and the second man walked away from the incident.
Both did not file a police report, and no one was taken into custody as a result, police said.
Be sure to tell all your friends that you saw a gen-u-ine Chicago knife-fight!

Didn't want a report. If it was happened a report should have been made out. Refer to the field reporting manual and incident reporting manual.
What a joke, and it made the news.
Next it didn't happen, because it wasn't reported.
Obama says the police are to blame...those poor men needed raises in the minimum wage, federally subsidized chemical dependence and substance abuse counseling, a place to live (at taxpayer expense), a criminal court system that is adequately funded to screen them for the mental health treatment they should have been receiving since birth, a free cell phone, a snap/link card, a gucci belt, hot stone massage therapy, a mani/pedi, some time on the links with the golfer-in-chief, a lifetime supply of temporary FEMA shelters, and a badge.
They should be deputized so as to bridge the gulf of mistrust that obozo says exists between a racially divided America.
The real question is how many people got pick pocketed during the fight as they were watching.
AKA killing crime on paper. No report no crime.
SCC is right there is nothing like a gen-u-wine Chicago knife fight to impress the tourists. The best thing about it you don't have to worry about stray bullets. Now when they start beheading, that will be bad for the tourist trade.
No harm, No foul, No Compstat Report.
No Police Report?
That means it never happened right?
I am so glad that Chicago is a safe city for my family to visit.
Not even a good old fashioned disorderly conduct? Contact card? Name check?
Awww BULLSHIT!
A crime has been committed. Let's say, an "Agg Assault, Knife"... kind of high on the UCR list.
And no case report made?
No RD generated?
Then it doesn't count.
Therefore it didn't happen!
oooh I'm scared silly
Yeah two of the cities finest citizens out for a walk but couldn't agree who was the bigger asswipe Daley or rham? They settled it the mid-western way knife fight [no roscoes available]they cut each other long deep wide and often.
Naw SCC!
What the tourists NEED to see is that raggedy assed Olds Aurora with mismatched 28's in wildly varying degrees off the vertical plane being driven down the street in reverse with traffic (WHOOO!) and every window occupied by ignant M/Fers waving pistols and yelling slogans as they bang and knock parked cars...
"Fuck y'all bitches lookin' at? TRIFE LIFE!"
>SCREEECH! BAM! CRUNCH!<
Mmmm-Hmmm!
Chicago is full of this kind of shit to spilling out the upper floor windows...
And since a very sucessful public relations war has been waged against the rugged Policing needed to combat the rugged criminals, no Policeman in their right mind is going to do a damned proactive thing except protect himself, his fellow officers and drop a report on everything else.
What?
It's The Police who are out of control, right?
The public rests easier with the outrages and
the atrocities committed by the armed wing of Dude Inc. than the comparatively few but magnified fuck-ups by Policemen.
"Y'all held to a higher standard an' shit!"
Which means there are absolutely no expectations of
civilized behavior of those people who contribute nothing but willful ignorance and love of death, distruction, disorder and misery to this city?
It seems that the public has decided who they're
aligned with.
Is there ANYBODY out there willing to consider what
The real implications are in this war against the Police and what REALLY needs to be done to make this city
safe for ALL?
What will it really take to put bad genie back in his bottle?
Or are you Chicagoans so full of hate for The Police that you willingly accept being vexed with the plague
spilling in from the garden spots?
Forget about Rahm and McLiar... They give a pointy shit-end about you and your family's safety.
If they did, there wouldn't be the enormous amount of spin, message control and juked statistics based on numbers blown out of assorted asses at City Hall & 3510...
It's easy to beat on and vilify the Police.
Easier still to laugh while they're being starved of
manpower, resources, equipment and most importantly, sane and competent leadership.
Did anyone hear of the Ferguson cop being shot over the weekend?
isn't there a law on the books called dueling?....not sure though
can anyone imagine, just how good the CPD could be, if...there were no political (meaning the politics of race, gender, ethnicity, family connections, external political connections and influences) corruption?.....
SCC, I DO NOT believe you.
If there was no report made, how can it have happened?
Oh, I forgot...this is Chicago.
Regardless of whether either person wanted to file a report, shouldn't there have been a report made anyway? Kind of a serious incident not to put on paper.
They fought better than the Bears.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
"people behind you, all the way,...in favor of what you do....to take gang kid in the alley,...you put bag over head,...you beat them with club...everybody behind you, 100%" ...."uncle Milton" Bin to police commander Stan White(mickey rourke} from YEAR OF THE DRAGON..words of wisdom guys. I personally, would have no problem whatsoever if all these skidmarks were treated in that fashion. A lot more people are behind you than you think. stay safe guys.

Woman, girl killed in domestic-related killing on NW side
"A woman and a girl were found dead in a home on the Northwest Side and a man is in custody after he claimed that he killed his family, police said.
"The victims' identities were not being made public as of Sunday night, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office. The office described them as a "possible teenager'' and a woman possibly in her 30s. Both were pronounced dead on the scene at 9:15 a.m. and autopsies will be performed Monday, according to the medical examiner's office.
"At about 9 a.m. a man who was described as suicidal was found in North Suburban Waukegan police said. The man said that he had killed family members at his home on the 3400 block of North Odell Avenue...He apparently attempted to decapitate the two victims, police said..."

Yes. It was on the news and was posted in the threads here at least half a dozen times.

Hey maybe you should REGISTER TO VOTE for this coming election?????
REGISTER HERE
orrrr, you could just stay home and bitch and moan about stuff YOU COULD HAVE CHANGED!!!!!!!!!!!
I tell the tourists to get out before 4 PM when all the rats show up. Downtown and the lakefront start to look like the Wild Hundreds around sunset. Complete chaos.
Just wait 7 weeks, until after the election. THEN-enforce every chicken sh*t thing you can, all while explaining that the mayor wants it this way. After five months of that, maybe then we can be relieved of puss head and have the new mayor launch McGoof. Stand together to defeat the tyrants!
They must've been old school bustouts.
The newer breeds immediately resort to gunplay.
Now if CPD did contact cards on these two hapless idiots McBarstool will be happier than a pig in shit.
Just heard P/O involved in bad crash at Montose/Ashland. Prayers go out to you officer hope all turns to for the best.

Nice to hear in a time of beheadings, bombings and shootings that Eric Holder is focused on TIGHTER Racial Profiing Legislation. Good job scumbag!
Both of them appear to be victims of Knife Violence.
Are they still talking about switching to 10 hour days in a few on the south side districts? What would the start times be if we switched ?

Actually, I'm sorry to say that I think you are wrong. I can't believe how anti-police so many people are now days. Check out any comment section on any story that concerns police to see what I mean. This country has changed and not for the better. I have to agree with those on here that think it's best to stand down and let it burn. Self preservation is the way to go. Let it burn.

I'd like to see someone just do the police report with the agg asslt/battery ucr, but leave the victims as unknown or refused. . . . if it happened and one of them ended up in the hospital, or deceased, at least it was documented. . .

Corruption in chicago is like overnight rain. You wake up in the morning and everything is wet. Even though you did not see it rain overnight, you deduce that it rained overnight.
Not in Chicago. The mayor just says, it did not rain last night, there is no corruption here, and the local mainstream media just believes what the rest of us can deduce with our own eyes.

Finally, someone who gets it! The academy has been on the chopping block as well. We only have a few instructors who are overworked. There are civilians who work at the academy. I am not calling the guys who work on the street idiots or retards, I just want people to understand that we work the full 8.5 hours and work is constantly dumped on us. I am not saying that we never got any breaks (I would be lying if I said that), that was many years ago. For the past several years, we have not gotten any breaks. It is the same as working the streets.
_____________________
We need more police officers on the street. Someone should do an audit of the amount of work that is produced at the academy and compare that to the number of people working at the academy.
The tourists are still swarming in droves. The whole world knows about this El Capone shithole. That doesn't deter them, the lights, the ferris wheel, they arrive. Dropping money and dropping like flies.
It is bliss to be turn a blind eye to the facts about Chitcongo!
It won't happen to me! It's only in the bad areas, BlahBlahBlah.
With all the problems Chicago has, the pretend newspaper, the Sun Times, thinks we should set aside millions to pay any murderer who is now whining, that after he slaughtered some citizen, the mean police slapped him around. Poor babies.
I have worked as a downtown hotel concierge for 10 years and I can tell you personal safety is definitely a major concern amongst tourists - never more than this year. I would say approx 50 to 75% of the guests i assist inquire as to the safety of the area around the hotel (which is in River North) and the general downtown area. I have had to warn tourists against flash mobs in previous years but this year i have had to warn guests going to Wrigley not to use trains after dark unless it is right after the game. Stay away from Belmont after dark. And for the late night club goers with the shootings outside of river north clubs and a few late night knife fights on Michigan ave I have cautioned them as well. Sadly, an increasing trend especially with visiting families has been that they return to the hotel before it gets dark and stay in for the night. No doubt staying in after dark means less money spent and decreased revenue for the city. This knife fight at Buckingham fountain is alarming but what is most disturbing is that despite the police making contact with one of the offenders no arrest or report was made. If two people had a gun fight at the fountain but no one was hit would no report or arrests be made?!! Perhaps , it would help us non CPD Officers understand whether this was handled correctly or not if some of you active PO's weighed in as to whether this was handed properly and if this practice is new or has been in place for a long time. If not usual, was this officer just lazy or under pressure from above to only file reports when absolutely required? Please help us understand what is going on....

They were quick to say that it wasn't protest related. So apparently its ok to shoot a Feguson cop if its not related to the protesting. No outcry in papers. Disgusting.
Not to worry. The school safety zone camera on West Fullerton Avenue near Cicero, probably equals 350,000 a day in revenue generating fines. And the one positioned at West Fullerton and Long Avenues perhaps even more. A crippling bottleneck on a major thoroughfare...brilliant thinking. Hey but it's for the children. Welcome to Chicago where a newer and more gentler fascism prevails.
Remember what Durbin said about our troops who were deployed to Afganistan. " U.S. Soldiers in Afganistan are like Nazi troops in Europe". Real good support senator that is why they call you "Durbin the Turbin"

WHY NOT? We do it with unknown, dead bodies. why does the person have to be dead to be reported as an unknown victim?

Yep. I work in the burbs. It's my 2nd department. We have Chicago caliber jackasses "in charge" but you guys have far more and more levels of bureaucracy too. My wife thinks my chief is swell and she really likes my department. I told her to move in with him and his wife or take the test...otherwise shaddup! Where I work, if you have original thoughts or any kind of motivation to actually catch criminals (as opposed to telling people how safe the town is)...bring a cushion for that beat car seat. BUT there is racial equality! Black and white men who don't have a clue what they are doing are promoted together in unity!

"Just What You Want Tourists To See" AND HEAR!
Some years ago I was working a detail around Buckingham Fountain.
At precisely 2300 there was a swarm of CPD vehicle going around the park. On the loudspeakers, in the roughest language imaginable, they threatened everyone with arrest told those tourists to immediately vacate the park. There had been few assaults earlier in the month and this was the solution to threaten tourists, some in evening dress, many from foreign countries like they were the scum of the earth. Don’t patrol and provide security, threaten potential victims, tourists walking on a beautiful evening in a park on Michigan Avenue and Columbus Drive.
