606 Opening Night with a Bang
- Angel Gonzalez remembers when, as a boy, he would venture up on the Bloomingdale railroad tracks and hunt for garter snakes. He could make $1.50 on each snake at the Animal Kingdom, a Logan Square shop that has since closed.
[...] But since those days, gangs have become more dangerous, he noted. And while he and his wife, Elsie, are both all for The 606 trail, the Logan Square couple also has worries expressed by other residents -- about the criminal element that may use the new trail too.
"I honestly think it's a good thing,” Angel Gonzalez said Saturday before stepping onto the trail. "It gives the kids a place to go."
"As long as they keep it safe, it's alright," added Elsie Gonzalez, 52.
- A man has been charged with pointing a gun at police, leading an officer to fire his gun early Sunday morning in the Logan Square neighborhood alongside the elevated Bloomingdale Trail, which officially opened this weekend, authorities said.
Rafael Corona, 29, was charged with crimes including felony aggravated assault of an officer after police said he pulled out a weapon about 12:05 a.m. Sunday in the 1700 block of North Talman Avenue and pointed it at officers. A police officer fired a shot in response, but no one was injured in the incident, police said.
And as numerous commentators pointed out, this from a gang McCarthy "obliterated" years ago. We guess they discovered there wasn't any money in designing city stickers, so they went back to guns.

Anyone have a link to the story of the Homeless man wanking it in full view of people on the trail?
Crime and gangs are where you find them.
The only thing obliterated about McCarthy is his mind.... time to get ready to close the beaches, it's gonna be a hot one this summer...
How are they going to patrol this elevated park? Especially at night or after hours?
McCarthy is just a politician and politicians say things just to say them. Their words have no meaning.
Animal Kingdom did not close. It just spilled over into the streets, and now "the trail."
And the homeless are playing with themselves in broad daylight on it. The hipsters are asking if the homeless can be "banned".
Ah, those were the good ole days. Remember hopping Freight trains as a travel method too..
I've little doubt that this trail will contribute to crime in the area.
I've already spotted some graffiti on condo walls, only accessible from the trail. I'v also noted that the proximity of the trail to a lot of high priced condos & parking garages..
We'll see.
Can someone please explain to me why some coppers are still chasing dude around for silly bullshit? It happens on every single day on every single watch. Just because you see dude and he sees you and then he runs away is not probable cause. Yes, he probably is dirty, has a gun on him or has dope on him. But him running away equals no probable cause. If he fits the description of a wanted offender, named offender, etc. then of course you can chase him. 90% of foot pursuits in the ghetto are nonsense anyways. The microscope is on us guys and gals. It's better to do our job 100% by the book. That's the way society wants us to do it.
The 606 trail will be a boon for the city and surrounding neighborhoods. A lot of high income people are moving in to the city. Already the neighborhood west of Western is slowly going upscale. New condos and houses (big houses worth over 700K) are going up and they are selling. This is good for the city and good for us. Too many bitter coppers always talk negatively. Remember, your fortune is directly tied to the city's fortunes.
My prediction - The 606 will become the Ho Chi Minh Trail for gangbangers and thugs.
The 606 is going to be a new "Zone of Violence".
There will be common headlines like, "They got jumped on the 606"
How many cops will be assigned bicycle duty on the 606? None? One?
Better post signs up for the joggers not to jog after dark.
Yeah, put some cameras up. Like that is going to stop crime.
I thought the legislature made those bike trails Gun free zones in their CCL legislation? Gee I guess somebody forgot to put up a sign.
So tired of this shit! A police officer from McKinney, Texas is in hot water. Just watch the video on youtube under "cops crash pool party". A bunch of male 1's and female 1's were using the swimming pool in a private sub division. They refused to leave and so the police were called. They still refused to leave. A police officer tries to detain a female 1 and a bunch of others are about to swarm him so he takes his gun out and this was not acceptable. His own police chief hung him out to dry. Watch the video of his news conference. This is all fine. If we are going to get in trouble for doing our job and trying to protect ourselves while we are at it, then we can change according to your needs. BTW, a week ago a house party empties out and there must be 100 to 150 young people. We are all dispersing the crowd and some are hostile and aggressive. I take out my asp baton and on the other hand have my pepper spray in hand. Action always beats reaction. My sgt. comes over and orders me to re holster my baton and pepper spray. He later told me "we don't want to aggravate the situation or incite anger". This is what we are dealing with. We are not even allowed to reasonably protect ourselves.

Summer In the city chiraq on the savages radar?
Yup..
And 2 hours and 4 minutes into the opening ceremony Saturday morning, a Chicago fire department ambulance was summoned because a small kid was suffering from heat stoke.
The ambulance crew became lost because they could NOT find their way up to the exact location where the child was at.
This project had disaster written all over it from day one and our tax dollars have added up to almost A BILLION dollars so far to fund it.
You mean there is now another place paid for with my tax money that I cannot go to because of the savages? Great.

You're a dope. When the City was going gangbusters financially in the 1990's and after we never got any huge raises and the mumbling midget still looted our pension funds. The City had the money and still it did not fund those pensions. But his contractor pals all got theirs.
If you're a copper and you don't understand why some might be bitter then it is because you are too new or too stupid to understand. You sound like a Rahm voter and definitely do not sound like a policeman.
Our fortune is tied to the City's fortunes, you are soft in the head.
Eventually it will be renamed the 911 Trail.

Were you there? Do you know what happened? Do you know the situation the officer was put in? The officer did what he had to do to go home. It's fine if you want to be a do nothing dog, that's your choice, but don't knock cops who are still willing to do the right thing.
It is mostly cops that have never been in that situation feel the need to Monday morning quarterback. I've been through two shootings and would never question someone's split second decision.

Illinois v. Wardlow - Reasonable suspicion.
Time for some VRI on the 606 trail.
Homeless dude rubbing one out on trail for all to see.
This isn't surprising. In Inpls, the Monon Trail was extended from its initial end point at 38th street south into the heart of the 'hood, 10th street. It's not uncommon during the summer for gangs to prowl the trail, robbing, mugging and raping as they go. Several years ago, a bunch of thugs beat some hapless white guy nearly to death and stole his bicycle. Once the gang stole enough rides, they rode north to the "good" neighborhoods to do a few armed robberies of Starbucks and some convenience stores. There are warnings all over this trail not to use it after dark, but it winds through several residential neighborhoods and those people now have to stay indoors during the summer with their doors locked.
8:10AM...
You are partially correct. Yes we are tied to the city, and 99% of us want to see it thrive. The problem is that the "city" and many of it's new upscale Uber-rich think we're pieces of shit who can be fucked out of our pensions. In case you weren't paying attention, SB777, that Sen. Cullerton is sitting on right now, says that Rahm can legally pay all bonded debt for things like the 606 before he puts a dime into your pension. Walsh Construction gets fatter, you get to stand in line with Vice Lords baby mammas for guvmint cheese.
I'm sorry, but a pension is the price for me to care about anything that happens here anymore.

Re: McKinney, Texas
I sent that link to SCC to post if he wants to. The officer drew his gun when two kids started to circled around behind him in a semi crouched posture while he was trying to subdue the female. At least one of the little a-holes had a towel draped over his arm and hand so you could not see if he/they had a weapon. The officer did a good job in defending himself. As soon as the towel moved and the officer saw they were unarmed he holstered his gun. I saw some mistakes on the video but that was not one of them.

Re: anon @ 8:06 AM. About chasing dude. Please remember this all you hard chargers out the, in the current environment, if you are 99 percent right you will be judged to be 100 percent wrong by the bosses, society, and all the bottom feeders ready to hit the ghetto lottery while picking over your cold rotting meat bag. Proactive policing has become an oxymoron. Stay safe, play smart and remember who counts on you every day of their lives.

And too many civilian posters sound like snotty smartasses. (That would be you.)
Now, while you may be right about gentrification coming, what you fail to include in your rose-colored scenario is those expensive homes are parked right next to felons' homes. The google execs and hipsters with the babies hung in their eco-friendly, European slings are getting mugged bringing the groceries from the garages and the rented parking spaces down the block. The open-air drug market operates at the curb, sometimes using the wheelwell of Muffy's BMW to stash the product. The neighborhood is in FLUX; it isn't a done deal. And, better yet, the urban pioneers will have to wait at least ten years til the turnover tips the neighborhood over to 'their kind of people'. We know what we're talking about. Learn from us, so you won't have to learn the hard way.
Did you suffer any injuries after you holstered your baton and pepper spray?

hey ssc you can have the trail in a matter of time the savages will take it over for me im sticking to the naperville riverwalk a hell of alot safer and there is even a starbucks near by
He had no thing to do with no ga-angs!

to the goof talking about chasing "dude"...the Supreme Court has ruled it's reasonable suspicion to detain a subject when said subject runs from the police. Jesus it's from a cpd case...Illinois v wardlow. You come on a blog to lecture and don't even know case law. When you detain said subject you use police skills to get the probable cause ie recover dope, pistols, Etc. then arrest.
They should cal it the "666 Trail" in honor of our great murdering mayor.

With all the G.O. that need changing. This is the type of crap 35th and Michigan focus one?? There is a G.O. that allows the department not to pay P/O's with PTSD mental illnesses. I know of two P/O's that committed suicide this year. Heck they knew about Officer PTSD three years ago but they still allow this crap to happen. I also found out that the EAP is not equipped to deal with PTSD. The department looks at policing as a business. We are just numbers to them. If one of us dies or is killed, we are one less person to pay a pension to.
I've got full sleeves. Fuck this police department. I'm going to suit. I have a right to show my ink. There was no G.O. when I came on the job. I will be filing a grievance and soon after a lawsuit. I spent thousands of dollars on my ink and I have every right to display. It was not a condition of hire. I will have to be ordered. Go ahead white shirts and order me.

Look at the video again and you will see that the male who approaches the officer places his left hand behind his back as if he might have a weapon.
I would have pulled my shit too.
Please look at the texas video again. Officer is locking up or has one guy sitting on the ground at the same spot prior to the arrest of the firl inthe bikini. She walks by him and crosses the street as if she is leaving. Video stops and isnt chasing or yelling at her. Video starts again. Why? The video starts again with him holding her trying to place her in custody. Then three women come running up on him and two males flank him. Watch the guy that the tall copper eventual takes off after. He is flipping his shirt up like he has a gun. Then reaches behind his back as if he is about to pull a weapon. Officer stops trying to place bikini girl a pulss his weapon as he engages what threat. Try to imagine yourself in his shoes. He circled and flanked him right away. Sorry boys and girls. We have emotions and reactions. Just my opinion but sounds like guys want to pull a Jody and run. He was alone sorrounded and the crowd is obviously trying to ret bikini girl free
Fuck the police. Fuck the polce. I hear that all the time from kids I havent said or even looked at alot. They yell it at us at scenes, protest, or as you drive by. Its an attempt to intimidate as well as an insult. Its also a war cry before hurling rocks and botlles. I did nt ee the whole video just watched on tv. Doesnt take a genius to see it was edited.

F__k what happened on whatever "video went viral" today. Another one coming tomorrow, squad parked for too long outside a convenience store where a copper ran in to take a ___.
Don't acknowledge "government by Internet" -- every 1 1/2 minutes another huge crisis we should all be outraged at, in between the sex tips and "celebrities" you never heard of and diet fads and cute animal pictures and paid-for planted material.
It has come to the point of permanent mass hysteria, OMG, OMG, OMG.
Here comes the drone with my sandwich.

I've got full sleeves. Fuck this police department. I'm going to suit. I have a right to show my ink. There was no G.O. when I came on the job. I will be filing a grievance and soon after a lawsuit. I spent thousands of dollars on my ink and I have every right to display. It was not a condition of hire. I will have to be ordered. Go ahead white shirts and order me.

No, you don't have a right to display it >>> while on duty. (No more than you have a right to display your belly button on duty.) You might not like it, but the Dept has a right to dictate what your uniform is (that's why they call it a uniform).
Get your KICKS on Route 606......
Didn't the dept know about your ink? Weren't you required to indicate what and where you were inked during hiring process?
Just what we needed. Another over budget project connecting one shit neighborhood to the next.
"...the Logan Square couple also has worries expressed by other residents -- about the criminal element that may use the new trail too."
"Build it, and they will come."
Maybe we were better off with "Field Of Weeds" and $95 mil still in the bank?

This is exhausting. Is there an absolutely unlimited supply of hipsters and trendies to create one "hot area" after another?
Not possible.
How many border collies with kerchiefs and sunglasses can there BE?

"In Inpls, the Monon Trail was extended from its initial end point at 38th street south into the heart of the 'hood, 10th street. It's not uncommon during the summer for gangs to prowl the trail, robbing, mugging and raping as they go. Several years ago, a bunch of thugs beat some hapless white guy nearly to death and stole his bicycle."

Don't worry. I'm sure Dean is right on this and should have an answer by 2019.

Go ahead and sue. You will lose. Accept it.
606 Trail of tears.
My sgt. comes over and orders me to re holster my baton and pepper spray. He later told me "we don't want to aggravate the situation or incite anger". This is what we are dealing with. We are not even allowed to reasonably protect ourselves.
Refuse his idiotic , unsafe demand that puts YOUR safety in jeopardy, this department is FULL of scared white shirts and police officers who are AFRAID to use force to protect themselves or put themselves in a position of advantage. Be ready to strike first to win. I cant wait to leave this pathetic department, its members and the pathetic state of affairs of policing in America. Thanks liberals, socialists and democrats...don't complain about the explosion of crime and lawlessness, you assholes are getting exactly what you want, deserve and asked for...fucking morons...
My vote is for the "911 Trail"
Who's got the vending contract for the trail?

You can grieve, file suit etc and you will lose. Numerous r lawsuits have been filed in other departments throughout the country and the rule change has been upheld every single time. The department has full authority with its uniform and appearance requirements. Sorry man, but when it crs to uniform and appearance its 100 percent up to the employer.
How stupid can you be! If he didn't commit a crime that your'e aware of why chase him. are you nuts! Don't you understand what day and age you are in. Good go chase him for nothing that you know of and when you end up catching him and you get into a incident with him that ends badly don't complain when you get fucked and your family suffers with you. Use your head. Yes it would be nice if we could be the police we want to be but this is not the case in todays world. I know this is going to fall on alot of deaf ears and comments will say hey we are the police no one runs from us. Fine. Go right ahead . No one is saying don't be the police. Just use your head just.
I don't personally give a flying f$&k(don't have tats) but I think it's unfair to expect guys that came on the job with tats to now have basically get rid of them by covering them up in 100' weather - it's a little more then changing a piece of clothing - those things are permanent ink! As far as wearing a hat in 100* - I take the hit - and the inspector c an get his mover - fu$& Mcstupid and his NY ways!!!!!!!!
Would the department please authorize Lieutenant Dangle style shorts for beach patrol? I've been working hard on my left and would like to show them off. Oak Street beach, here I come!

I agree that the department has a right to change uniform. But, when I was hired on there wasn't a tattoo policy. Therefore, legally the department can not tell those who have tattoos to cover them up when they don't provide anything else i.e. Compression sleeves, tape, e.t.c. If the policy was in place when I got hired, fine. That's not the case. My tattoos are religious too.
The first post is a smart street copper.
The second post is a merit or merit +2 or merit +3, who wants YOU to chase dude for HIS numbers. The merit guy never chased anyone.
I'm no merit, I'm blue shirt in patrol, I lock people up almost every day and if You think you need probable cause to stop someone then you have a lot to learn my friend.
I will be filing a grievance and soon after a lawsuit.
OK hotshot. In order to file a grievance you have to cite which section of the contract the department violated. So tell us brainiac, so we can all do it too. Nice try dumbass. You lose this one.

Probable Cause is the only phrase that will keep you out of U.S. Federal Court and the lawsuits in this anti-Police atmosphere pimped by Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Father Phaker!
Anything else, your are better off letting Pookie run away and code it a 19-E!
It is about going home and not how many stupid, will get tossed, nolle, plea bargained, S.O.L., etc., from court, arrests you make!
In the end, nobody gives a shit about your arrest numbers except maybe "Loevy and Loevy" or the Peoples Law Office, looking to hit the ghetto lottery on your pimpy arrests!
I NEVER got into trouble for letting an asshole run away, thus 19-E!
Besides this city don't want you arresting their voters!
But, I know of plenty of coppers that got sued in U.S. Federal Court because they believed the bosses will help them out over silly shit like arrests!
Just say fuck it hard charger before you wind up in the poor house or worse the jail house!

Maybe your religious tattoos conflict with my religious beliefs and therefore offend me. Kind of like dreds.

To the first guy- So...You're going to "suit"?
Suit yourself?
Suit somebody else?
Suit your Supervisor?
To the second guy...
Your tattoos are religious-better become a preacher as you aren't gonna win this one!

Look, I'm going to make this real simple for you. ANY job you work can tell you what to wear while working, whenever the fuck they want to. You can still be a tough guy, but now you're going to have to be actually tough instead of a walking inferiority complex. Your tattoos didn't make your hot dog arms any bigger.
Don't worry Jax Teller will still respect you.
Silly question from your favorite Bike Guy...
How easy would it be to get a marked SUV up there? I played around with the 606 interactive map to check out the access points...but the map isn't very helpful.
I'm thinking right now from reading the comments, the City and Park District is potentially liable if someone bleeds out because the CFD can't get to them in time on this trail.
Unless they Post a small EMT Hunt with a golf cart ambulance like you see in Grant Park during major events.
