Chewie Doesn't Believe Numbers
- Mayoral challenger Jesus "Chuy" Garcia promised to show "unprecedented levels of violence in Chicago" during a Monday news conference attacking Mayor Rahm Emanuel's record on crime, but instead used a narrow set of statistics that dates back only four years.
Garcia noted the number of city shootings is up about 15 percent this year. With just a couple of days left in 2014, the city has had 2,506 shooting victims compared with 2,185 last year.
"That is what people in Chicago fear. That is the unknown. That is what keeps people young and old as prisoners in their own homes," said Garcia, a Cook County commissioner.
What Garcia didn't mention is that overall crime in Chicago is down this year and the number of homicides is on pace to be the lowest in decades. Garcia sought to focus on the number of shootings, not deaths.
That Chewie - he'll believe "hands up" bullshit stories, but not Garry's numbers.
In any event, the Trib proves it hasn't read anything except Garry's press releases this year. They must have completely missed the Chicago Magazine articles about number manipulation, you know, the ones about burglaries being downgraded to thefts, pickpocketing and such being made lost property, sexcual assaults of all stripes being made into simple batteries. And the double digit reductions in crime when every other city in the country experienced mere 3-and-4% drops.
It's almost like Chicago exists in opposite land - if you legalize guns, the streets will run read with blood, completely unlike every other city in America. And when crime goes down 4, 5, even 8 times the national average, coinciding with the introduction of a new counting system, it's the brilliant former NYPD eggheads who are dragging Chicago cops into the 21st century!
What a pile of shit.

Oh, go try your fake concern over the incident on someone else. You just couldn't wait to run to the blog and holler, "Me, me! Look at me!"
Someone should track you down and slap you silly for putting this business on a public board.
12/29/2014 02:17:00 PM
Couldn't agree more with 02:17. This police department has to many assholes obsessed with putting others down. Hope both P.O's are ok. I would hate to have that guilt the rest of my career.
I'm not voting for anyone named Chuy.
As I mentioned before, theses guys got the statistic of crime down pack. I was reading a paper by some professor at Berkeley, these demos got the mathematical diagrams, equations, charts, and the numbers I front of them that can tell them what level of crimes needs to be at, in order to get elected, that paper was writen in 1985, it is amazing. Chicago is mentioned all up in that paper.
These guys know what they are doing, don't think it is a mistake. Kinda like how a bunch of knuckleheads thing they will have a pension in 20, hey bud, let me show u how this 401k is done.
Word at 35th at is McCarthy might make a run for mayor.
It's true. The high ranking white shirts at NYPD are brilliant. That is why so many cities want one to come lead their PDs and teach them modern policing.
Mccarthy is a total narcissist. Must go and go soon.
Chun must not be a fan of 'Hey Jackass.
I understand no one likes Rahm. However, he is as far to right as we are going to get! If Rahm goes into a run off it is going to be someone, who is far left of him. Rahn is basically pro business, who hates labor. I get that!!
But if Rahm goes into a run off, the possibility exists that the electorate could elect someone like Mayor de Blasio (New York).
I am sure no one wants that. Just a thought.
up or down, 2,500 people with unexpected piercings is WAY too many.
New York has nearly 4 times as many people and half the shootings.
http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2014/dec/29/nypd-chipotle-hands-up-facebook-protest
Supporters of the New York Police Department have risen up in anger against the unlikely target of Chipotle burrito chefs, thanks to a viral Facebook post that alleged employees of the fast-food chain refused service to eight officers – and despite the chain’s rebuttal of the details contained in the post.
Chipotle’s involuntary participation in the racially charged debate over police behaviour gripping New York began on 17 December, when Ray Melendez, a Brooklyn resident who identified himself as a former NYPD officer, wrote on Facebook – in a post that was deleted on Monday – that “an officer involved at the incident” told him several employees of a local Chipotle had “raised their hands & said: ‘Hands Up, Don’t Shoot’ to the officers”.
Melendez said the officers “simply left the location without any further action at the scene rather than provoke what could be a losing situation, given the climate of ‘support’ from our Mayor”. Many members of the NYPD have denounced the mayor, Bill de Blasio, for what they perceive as his support for recent protests over police killings of unarmed black men.
Melendez then quoted a complaint by another former NYPD officer, Scott Lothrop, who said the “familiar but completely erroneous ‘Hands Up, Don’t Shoot’ gesture” caused the on-duty officers “a great deal of embarrassment, annoyance and humiliation”.
Lothrop said he would boycott Chipotle for the staff members’ “unconscionable” gesture, which he said was made at a time when “race baiting anarchists [are] descending on New York”.
Just remember, These are educated people and they know what's best. Fuckin idiots.
A young Kevin Bacon says,
All is Well! All is Well!
Crime is going down. Obviously the CPD is still over-staffed.
McCarthy should be able to cut another 2-3,000 police next few years too. Just make sure the mayor's block is safe.
Crime is Down!
But the victims just keep piling up.

Chipotle's corporate mgt. has also filed a statement, claiming that this 'alleged' incident never occurred. Perhaps someone should consult Snopes?
Im Voting as Told by FLOP
Elect Rham Support DeaNo

This Department is a shining example to the rest of the nation on how not to run a police department. The city elected an outsider as it's mayor who brought in an outsider to run the department. Some new changes made it worse but some old time politico manipulation is still around keeping the department in clouted hands. Just look at the captains list, and the ranks above. Have to keep that control just in case another Koschman case pops up. Any info on what really happened to the mayors son? ..crickets LOL
The drunks says as of 21 Dec we have 390. Well guess what as of 29 Dec we have 413 now what liar.

The media in our city is so pro Mayor Emannuel it is sickening. You would think we live in the old Soviet Union. I love the headlines too, for example: Mayor Emannuel On Pace To Save Tax Payers Millions, Mayor Emannuel To Clamp Down On City Inefficiencies, etc...
The Sun Times recently wrote a glowing piece about our mayor. It detailed how he was a tough negotiator on the tax payers behalf and would not budge with some company who got a contract for fixing our bridges. You can't make this shit up.

Thanks for your thought. Keep it to yourself. I guess you don't want your pension or backup on the streets with an undermanned department. I guess you want to keep the comstat number lies too, alone with bullshit media coverage.

http://nypost.com/2014/12/29/arrests-plummet-following-execution-of-two-cops/
OT..... I witnessed something yesterday that felt good inside. I witnessed an off duty P. O. confront another P.O. about comments the P.O. had previously posted on here. The jist of it was that the P.O. put some personal information concerning the other's off duty's family. Was not exactly sure what the post had to do with at this point but it seemed to concern the off duty's wife or kids. The P.O. that made the comment is always ragging on the old timers because they don't do anything and complaining about the young guys because they don't do enough. He for a fact has made comments about bosses and several P.O.'s on the blog. I know if this because he will brag about his comments. The thing is the next day you see him smiling with those exact people he made a comment about. I never have seen him so afraid and tripping over his own words when he was confronted. fronted. He admitted too making the comments but said he was put up to it by a boss????? WTH?????? I mean really? It turned out thag the off duty was actually sticking up for a freind of his and was very upset over the comments posted. It was refreshing to see officers still sticking up for each other. It gave me a sense of pride after seeing so many officers back stab each other. I am sorry about the long rant and my grammar not being perfect but I think we get the story. So moral to the story is if you make a comment on here be ready to defend it if it comes back your way. Please please please for heaven's sake keep officers personal business off here. We are not the only ones who read this.
I have said it on this blog before and directly to F L O P when you allow your crime stats to be manipulated you give the City reason to downsize the manpower and most importantly Safety of the Street Officer.
Couldn't agree more with 02:17. This police department has to many assholes obsessed with putting others down. Hope both P.O's are ok. I would hate to have that guilt the rest of my career.
You are fuckin wrong. The dept has too many assholes that dont know how to handle firearms and dont take the time to learn. You expect a carpenter to know how to you a hammer. Learn and practice how to use your tool! Its your job.

Rahm, like his friend the President, is a narcissist, a self involved megalomaniac. There is no such thing as us i9n Rahm's world. Like the President, he is a danger as long as he has power.
DeBlasio, or whatever made up name he has, is a clown. He is a blip in New York's history and the punch line to future jokes. He will be gone the next election cycle.
Leave this Mayor in and we are stuck with him as long as he likes, just like Richie. Put in someone else we don't like in four years and we voter him out next cycle.
The choice is clear. We need ANYONE BUT RAHM EMMANUEL. Pick the frontrunner and vote for him. Make the effort and get out the vote. It's that important.
There is no question that the trib has extraordinary pro Rahm bias. They do not even really hide it as their censors take down posts critical of him even though they are based entirely in FACT. Chuy Garcia on the other hand is a soft on crime, enabling anti-cop, DiBlasioesque shill for Rahm put in by Rahm with promises of future consideration to Preckwinkle. Garcia marches with anti police protesters with their factually untrue "stand up don't shoot fantasy. The only real candidate that will provide the citizens of Chicago with the basic human need of safety is Fioretti. And he will stand up for the police too----not the criminals
I like options but Garcia will need to show the police some love to get our support
An attempted burglary of my garage with pry marks on the door and jam, was classified as damage to protery. 016 district. Strictly BS. Crime is down?
I saw this on your blog. I think I'm leaving. Forget Chicago and it's BS politics.
Another department wants to take take talent from the CPD.
"Grand Rapids Police Department in Grand Rapids, Michigan is recruiting police officers for their next hiring process in 2015."
Go to: http://iapa-il.org/news/news.htm for more details.
I have been taking it as a given that the most reliable crime stats are murders, and that most of the minor stuff is heavily subject to definition and the level of enforcement. Perhaps the number of shootings is reasonably reliable also. Perhaps if it becomes more hazardous to go into the black community there will be less enforcement and a possible lowering of the crime states.
A guy named Chewey for Mayor?
I don't think so.
MR. T for mayor of Chicago.
Regarding Chipotle,
Please go to a reliable news source and read what happened. One employee acted the fool. The police officers turned around and exited.
The company reviewed surveillance video, disciplined (no details) the employee and apologized for the employee's actions.
Let's not make this more than it was, which was one idiot acting like an idiot.
There are rumors being printed that the Brooklyn store refuses to serve all police. Untrue. Rumors that several employees did this. Not true. Let's not overreact and be like the Ferguson mob, who refused to believe FACT over their twisted views.

God, are you brainwashed with this right/left bullshit. Rahm is for Rahm and his billionaire/corporate friends who sometimes contribute to Dems, and sometimes give to Reps.
The only people they intend to fuck are the employees. The underclass always expands under them so that we all share the cost, not just them.
Rahm wants to kill your pension! Wake the fuck up.....

Dude chill out. We get that every day in Chicago. We give it back to them at the same time. It defeats their aggression.
Psych ops at it's best.
Try it on domestics, mentals, and suspicious person calls. It works.
Sorry, don't take credit for this one procedural justice political hacks. It's street survival boriqua style.
The one thing nobody likes to talk about as far as the "New York Renaissance" that occurred in the 90's was that it was associated strongly with seriously increasing real estate prices driving the lower element out.
It still has its hellhole pockets but the gentrification that has occurred there over the past 20 years is astonishing. I mean, Harlem is now full of prime real estate. That would be like Roseland turning around.
A full 50% of the city of Chicago is basically a barnacle on the other half. They will never be 'priced out'. The scale of everything is different. This is what the scary part of the death spiral looks like.
The good news is, rahm's push for the Obama library seems to be in troubled waters.
The pols in this city could fuck up a one car parade.
Shycawgo and Illinois are going to be nothing but in Obama's rearview mirror after this term.

We should " wake up". Really.? I hope you have more reasons in order to put Garcia in the Mayor's office. He seems to be an incompetent hack who will run the city down. Rahm is for Rahm, but he might be the best choice at this time to keep the city from going under financially. He cannot do anything he wants to the pension. He is blocked by the state constitution and a long history of federal laws. But remember this. Our pension is in worst shape then the Detroit police pension thanks to Daley.Garcia went along with Daley on everything.
To the comment above about off duty with on duty po. I was in locker room when the officer was confronted. A was shaking like a leaf. He always talks about people behind their back and is buddy buddy with them later on. About time someone put him in his place. The guy that yelled at him is from 189 real good guy and can hold his own
I don't believe the numbers and I work here. .... so what does that tell you.
If they had better aim this city would be on par with San Pedro Sula, Honduras.
Bring back the mob less shootings, more homicides though because they didnt miss and shoot innocents.
2500 people shot this year?!!! You all must have some damn good doctors in your hospitals. I suppose obamacare pays for it all.
J.J.
The secret deal has already been made. Rahm and Axelrod kept Claypool from challenging Bullwinkle in the primary. She got a free pass. She ha saga been promised money and an uncontested primary to challenge Mark Kirk. John Daley moves up to County Board President from Finance Chief. DONE DEAL, SUCKERS.
Off Topic, but as long as NYPD is the center of the police universe at the moment...
Timothy J. Dowd, the New York City police detective who led the manhunt that finally ensnared David Berkowitz, the serial killer who called himself the Son of Sam and whose yearlong shooting spree and evasion of the police spread fear across the five boroughs, died on Friday in Millbrook, N.Y. He was 99.
God Bless him for the good work
Big changes coming soon. Some units will make out while others get a BIG down size. 10 hr days are being pushed for ALL Districts and will be here soon.
How does the tribune criticize Chewie for using the shooting stats? There were potentially 400 more homicedes this year and they want to say murder was down a couple ticks. I guess we already know who the tribs endorsing.

don't be surprised.... 2014 TAX INCREASES PASSED
Remember this WHEN YOU DO YOUR TAXES IN APRIL 2015) !
In case you didn't notice.
Here is what happened on January 1, 2014 :
Top Medicare tax went from 1.45% to 2.35%, an increase of 62%
Top Income tax bracket went from 35% to 39.6%, an increase of 13%
Top Income payroll tax went from 37.4% to 52.2%, an increase of 52%
Capital Gains tax went from 15% to 28% an increase of 87%
Dividends tax went from 15% to 39.6%, an increase of 164%
Estate tax went from 0% to 55%, an increase of infinity . . .
Remember this fact: These taxes were all passed with only democrat votes
No republicans voted for these taxes.
These taxes were all passed under the Affordable Care Act, aka OBAMACARE.
Thumbs up for Police, Fire and all first responders ! Thank you for your service .
If you really want to see the drop in crime you must look at Case Management in all Areas, that's where it all disappears.
The spin on the numbers the sup puts out on his media rounds are ridiculous, for example the number of fewer arrests, let's analyze that. Yes there are fewer arrests then last year and the year before, does that mean crime is down? no! It just means this dept has been handcuffed by the liberals to the point that effecting any arrests has become risk for your career on many levels even if you are 100 percent in the right.. Meanwhile the savages are rampaging through every one of Chicago's downtown landmarks, even the media can't ignore the "teens" as they describe them Anymore... I agree with the previous poster rahm is scared.
And then you have Chicago's "news " station carrying the story of the tragedy in the west multiple times in prime time along with the bullshit snowjob about Navy Pier and how safe it is now and how all the people's interviews are so positive but not one word from the people who got that "Chicago" experience watching those "kids" doing stupid things that just "happen" when there are large crowds. Who the fuck comes up with shit and puts it on the air. Talk about carrying the water You know guns are bad and Chicago is safe ...........Right ?
Jesus was a Harold Washington Acolyte. Rahm is a coniving piece of shit but the election of this guy would be a disaster. He's so far to the left that he makes Rahm look like the Grand Cyclops.

Chicago's numbers have never been believable. That is why the FBI doesn't accept Chicago's numbers. They are total bullshit.
None of the mayoral candidates are Jane Byrne. You will never see the likes of her again. Garcia, Fioretti and Rahm will be tough to sell in the 41st and 19th Wards, where the majority of cops, fireman and city workers live. Yea Garcia s liberal, but he pledges to hire more cops, keep the pensions with the 3% annual bumps. He will use tiff money for it, to pay that 500-600 million due soon. He will have no choice but take care of Wards like 41 and 19, they normally generate 4 times the votes in the Hispanic areas n the SW side. For instance in the 41st ward, their internal polling has the incumbent OConnor with 65-70 % negatives.They feel strongly that OConnor will lose straight out or for sure in a runoff to Anthony Napolitano ( CFD former CPD ). He is strongly supported by the only Republican Alderman Brian Doherty. Garcias manager had lunch with Napolitano about two weeks ago. Garcia s going to take Rahm into a runoff, with Rahm losing, his negatives can't be overcome. It's 6 weeks to the election. We might as well get as much as we can from Garcia. Rahm has done shit for the white ethnic areas of the City. I guess we will all have to stay tuned....
