Highway Shooting Epidemic!
We mentioned this as a semi-regular occurrence a week or so ago and suddenly, Channel 7 has an investigative report on the front burner:
- An ABC7 I-Team investigation has found that local highway shootings have more than tripled in recent years, and state police officials say that road rage isn't to blame.
Gunfire on Chicago-area highways is now happening, on average, several times a month.
[...] The I-Team reviewed shooting logs maintained by Illinois State Police obtained under the Freedom of Information Act.
They revel [sic] that in 2010, there were six shootings on Chicago-area expressways. By last year, that number had jumped to 18.
The number increases even more - to 28 - when you include "reported shootings." That's when someone calls 911 to say they saw gunfire but state police couldn't find evidence that bullets hit "anything" or "anyone."
It's a good thing that McCompStat isn't keeping track of these events. Otherwise it might look like Chicago shootings are up in Chicago 31% instead of just a measly 30%.

Need more Highway Patrol...the residents are restless....
The sight of Obama fumbling his way through his talking points at the Police Memorial was disgusting. He was the architect of this chaos and is no different than Hitler overseeing a Bat Mitzvah.
Chicago is rapidly devolving into a combat zone. The whole population is violent.
You no longer have to get off at the wrong interstate exit to get dead in Chicago.
Time to ban highways. Then give them to protestors so they have somewhere to riot against racist cops. Then sell the concrete and rebar as scrap and payoff the pensions. Problems solved. You're welcome.

Be very careful of what you post on Facebook. A fellow officer at work would post a lot of stuff on his Facebook page. It was factual in nature (number of black men who are violent, black on black crime, undocumented illegals and crime/gangs, etc.). That officer applied for a police job in North Carolina. They were about to hire him and at the last minute they pulled the plug. The reason- his very opinionated Facebook account. The same thing happened to my cousin who was about to be hired by the DEA. Be smart and play it safe. You are better off posting pictures of your cat and Aunt Wilma's German chocolate cake recipe then political stuff on your Facebook account. Even if what you post is factual, it can be construed as "racist".

McCompStat is, basically, a buffoon, a tool for Rahm..incapable or unprepared to make informed decisions on his own....taking all of his orders from City Hall, or maybe the south and west side reverends....instead of standing up, saying what needs to be said (ala the fellow in Milwaukee County). McMuffin just says what apparently he is told to say....one wonders why a person would choose to lead their life in a way that someone can tell them what to say....

CHICAGOSTAN
Coming to a theatre near you summer of 2018. Sneak preview at the McCormick Place.
I heard the new Mad Max was based off this. "Welcome to thunderdome" I mean Chicago. Lmfao
Hmmm Dan Ryan and Eisenhower... what is the common denominator for all social problems. The 13% who do 98% of the dirt.
Why is this even a story?
From sea to shining sea; cities, counties and states are actively reducing Police/Public Safety manpower.
The Police are viewed and treated as a liability as budgets have been gutted since the high flying heydays of Police hiring from 1985 to 1995.
That trickle to the exits is turning into a flood as Coppers are being given incentive via the current nationwide anti-Police sentiment and the nigh near impunity being conferred upon certain protected constituencies with a predilection toward criminality and anti-social behavior, to loudly and violently act out their native animus toward The Police.
The rest of everybody else sees this and decides it's ok to pile on...
Why stay in a place where you're not wanted?
Why stay in a place where you have a target on your
back and you're condemned to an uncertain to bad
fate when you lawfully fight back?
The latest shit-talk?
The same people who are in the anti-Police mob are now making noises about how they want Policemen
punished/prosecuted/imprisoned for "Witholding Police Services From The Public."
Seriously...
Social media and op-Ed columns are on-fucking-fire with this wild-assed crazy talk.
...Fuck y'all cops.
We hate y'all but don't y'all DARE seek to minimize your exposure to US!
Who the fuck you "public servants" think you are?
The public may as well prepare themselves for even more diminished Police presence on the public way and the highways/byways of this nation.
This narrative isn't about reining in "out of control" Policemen.
It's about destroying and re-booting the bedrock principles of Policing and driving away the people who
have a default setting toward those principles...
However imperfectly they collectively adhere to those principles.
Collective muscle memory in Policing is being purged
to make way for Comp-Stat style Policing and all the evil it represents.
Those few of some discernment, mental clarity and visual acuity have noticed that while all these "changes" to Policing are being put in place?
Noticeably absent from the progressive and perpetual grievance class narrative is the phrase, "change for the better."
Not that it matters because part of their agenda is intentionally reducing the understanding/meaning of commonly used words and phrases to the clarity of
Chicago Shit-Mud...
Police like a square.
Police like you have no friends.

Any police officer that has a Facebook account in today's anti police, gotcha, witch hunt, jackpot, throw you under the bus atmosphere should have their head examined
Facebook is for narcissistists anyway. Delete your account now.
@0721....
Im not sure why political Facebook rants surprise you as getting people DQd. People sound silly with the whole "but its the truth" argument. If you go on my Facebook page and all I have is factual information about police misconduct...a department is not going to want to hire me either. I guess that's racist too.
This is what you get when mofos keep getting away with murder. They keep killing and don't get caught.if mc muffin had some gravitas he will the least catch one. Why the Feds gotta come in to do his job. Please resign with some dignity mc drunky!
May have to change the speed limit to .45

Remember one thing folks- anything you post on the internet stays there FOREVER. Too many officers are opinionated about politics, social climate, the economy, etc. We live in a different world. Just keep it to yourself.
Must be the water...
Don't people realize that its illegal to have a loaded firearm in a motor vehicle??!!?

1. McCarthy WAS asked to step down?
2. McCarthy HAS asked to step down?
3. A TMA directed McCarthy off the curb downtown?
WHAT are you trying to convey?
Off Topic:
That jag bag Neil Steinberg said in his article yesterday that the city should just declare bankruptcy and we can fight for dimes on the dollar for our pensions.
He also spouts off that we'd be much worse off if Chuy Garcia had won.
Hey Neil: GFY!

I hear that most of the chase scenes were filmed on the Dan Ryan. And they didn't even have to substitute the back ground scenes seeing that most of that area looks like war zone anyway.
Interesting comment by Sol Rosenberg, but I have to ask, Sol if he brought all his shoes?
Why wouldn't The department keep the numbers of homicide inside the City limits?
Is solving crime not the mission?
Or is the mission moving numbers around like a corporation for stock holders to be happy.
So murders in the county jail don't count either?
Murders in County forest preserve don't count?
Need to put up the no gun signs on the overpasses to fight highway violence. It's the only way

If you are a professor at an ivy league university you can post all kinds of ignorant anti-white, anti-male bs all over your social media accounts and it is excused as exercising "free speech". If you are a district attorney who is involved in a very publicized and political prosecution of agents of law enforcement, you can openly support the anti-police constituency and release all the looters and arsonists who were arrested without charges, with no fear of repercussion. An officer has no such luxury. They call it being "held to a higher standard", but in actuality it is more akin to being a 2nd class citizen. Foreign terrorist criminals have more rights in this country than American born law enforcement officers. Unfknreal
Who are the victims and offenders in these shootings? Black lives matter though.
All those concealed carry folks I bet.
Tony Prepwinkle was on Channel 11 this past week and was bragging about the huge decrease of inmates at CC Jail,No punishment = More Crime,Stupid Socialist Bitch.

Toni is so insane, no wonder her husband bailed on her! Can't blame him, the woman is delusional,she should check herself into psych ward at her beloved county and ask only for her black n brown people to take care of her! Why does she have a fleet of Chevy police spec suburbanites and how many county police bodyguards getting paid premium money unlimited overtime? Come on Toni join the real world!

err Toni over here, you think because the judges are letting them go as quick as they are arrested has maybe just maybe something to do with it? Toni crime is out of control, shut down the redline from 95th to cermak bet you downtown crime would rapidly decrease wonder why?
What we need is CPD back patrolling the Interstate Highways with ISP. A VRI initiative as well as District personnel.

I remember a CPD "white hat" trying to shake me down on the Kennedy when I was a young teenager back in the very early '70s. I had no idea at the time what his game was...
Later, came on the job hoping to pass that POS path but unfortunately that never happened.
I do agree-put CPD traffic cars back on the expressways. ISP cant handle it as they are spread so thin.
The County Sheriff had Road Rage Cars out there but I hear DART dismantled that..
Someone posted earlier that having loaded weapons in vehicles is illegal.....hopefully that was a joke. If not, read up on the law. We can have as many compliant firearms we want!
