- As Police Supt. Garry McCarthy begins his fifth year running the Chicago Police Department, some aldermen – old and new – appeared to be losing confidence in his ability to reduce gun violence as summer approaches.
On Thursday alone, at least six people were slain, and 16 others were wounded in shootings on the South Side. According to the Chicago Tribune, through Monday, there had been 120 more shootings this year than at the same point last year.
Newly elected Ald. David Moore (17th) flatly said he doesn’t think McCarthy’s police strategies are working.
“Some changes have to be made at the top, as it relates to who’s running the Police Department right now,” he said.
Second-term Ald. John Arena (45th) seemed to grudgingly agree.

The problem is that whoever would replace McGoofy will be someone who will continue on with Rahm's agenda of further demoralizing and destroying the deparent. Rahm wouldn't choose anyone who's a free thinker or who may stick up for the troops.
Meet the new boss.... the same as the old boss.
There is nothing that any police superintendant, programs, marches, money or whatever can do to stop the shootings. The real problem is the judiciary and the state's attorney and the one party system in Chicago and Cook County. The judges keep giving probation upon probation. The state's attorneys office plea bargins all cases so the state' attorney will have a high conviction rate and be reelected. Felony review assistants are under pressure as their future in the office could be in jeopardy. The only way to stop it is to prosecute it federally with 10 yrs or more for guns used in the commission of a crime and 5 yrs or more for possession if the person is a felon. No one fears the Cook County justice system. Are the aldermen just that stupid or are they part the the democratic smoke screen?
End of VRI?
It ain't Garry's fault but like all the other stooges that take that job he refuses to acknowledge and call out the real causes of the violence. So, in a way he does deserve to get the ax for claiming that a weekly tweaking of numbers called Compstat could somehow tame an out of control culture of urban violence. The politicians will just keep making excuses for their constituents and keep blaming inanimate objects like schools and guns instead of fatherless families, lack of responsibility and a culture of greed and ignorance fostered by cradle to grave entitlements and excuse making.

Alderman Arena should be more concerned about his own ward(45th). Take a look at the shitheads moving in at bryn mawr & central. Ive seen more IR#s walking around 16th district on the northern end than I ever have had before since his tenure began.
No matter who holds the position, it will always be the same. It's been like this before I moved to Chicago, and will always be. The underlying issues need to be address first before you can see change. And those underlying issues aren't police issues. So stop acting like the crime is the fault of non-working police. You know better then that. These issues are part family breakdown, and part politics. No jobs, high taxes on business & people, etc... and corruption.. Is this city dumber than thought?
If they dump McNonuts in this weather; then there is more to the story. If he gets dumped in the Fall then you can blame the summer death toll on him. But to put someone in now; that person would be starting in chaos. Unless something is going on that is so serious, he has to go now. What could that be?
Try this formula---more police on streets---less shootings.
No charge for the advice.
No keeses either.
Does any thinking person think that anyone, working within the constitution, as head of the CPD could do anything to stop the gun violence in Chicago? The only thing that will change the gun violence is for the politicians and judiciary to get their act together and change the dysfunctional culture of Chicago and two major minorities.
Right, bec it's G Mac's fault
Not a police officer. I have 2 questions though. 1) is anyone aware of how many candidates of any at all the CFD has gone through since the test in december? 2) my CFD lottery number is pretty bad. Is considering the next CPD test a bad idea? Is the job worth it? Thanks and stay safe.
Now Retired...
Almost any damn fool could be the Superintendent of the Chicago Police Department IF:
A. The were politically correct as a figurehead
B. They kept their mouth shut (didn't say anything stupid)
C. They had a competent First Deputy Superintendent who quietly ran everything
Gary McCarthy on the other hand
A. Politically correct only that he was an outsider brought in as a hatchetman by Rahm to cut the costs of the CPD and the officers and the public be damned
B. Just about everything Gary says is stupid or offensive
C. Gary has purged this department of almost all experienced commanders and replaced them with young over-promoted Yes-men. Who do we have as second in command. Maybe that is who the Black Caucus is really shooting for as Gary's replacement.
Start tracing these weapons used in gun crime. Close the source. If a legal gunowner is negligent, there should be something that can be done.
Superintendents are hired to be fired. The political class has there own agenda and it is not the same as ours. I am sure each racial and ethnic group has someone in mind. After all, we could get the current Baltimore police chief. I bet he will be available soon. But, I would say that I cannot think of one CPD superintendent in the past 30 years that has been innovative, has been for the working coppers and has the back of the working policeman. J-Fled and McCarthy did bring new ideas here which was outside the thinking process of our inbred gold stars, but that is all. Nothing will stem the violence in the Black communities except a crackdown by police and I don't see that happening with any leader.
Doesn't matter who they put in charge because I still ain't doing shit for that jagoff Rahm or any other of those thieves,the unappriciative citizens, the media constantly bashing us or that retard in the white house. When all that changes then I'll think about doing something other than "here's your report sir/ma'am." How's that for pension reform lil rhammie?
But rahm doesn't like being told what to do, or that he is/was wrong.
yeah, this storm has finally turned into a hurricane from the lack of police hiring. Budgeted for 12,500..lucky if we have 8000. Each district is down at least 150 coppers from its 90 s peak days. Yet they think by sticking a new Super in will change things. AL will b no better the Garry. U have to take the politicians out of the police before u can rein in the animals.
What are the aldermen s solutions to reducing crime. And the mayor runs the police department. Don't kid yourself
A check with www.USPS.com/Tracking confirms that the U.S. Postal Service today delivered my CERTIFIED MAIL-RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED addressed to CPD Supt. Garry F. McCARTHY, 3510 S. Michigan Ave., Chicago, IL 60653. Contents: My Twelve 8 1/2" x 11" page complaint that the CPD is underreporting ("killing") crime. The envelope is marked "CONFIDENTIAL".
The reader can confirm USPS delivery with the following tracking number:
7014 2870 0002 0177 0600
No further comment.
35th ward (new) alderman voiced his misgivings about McPastExpiration, as well.
Be careful what you wish for, I've been doing this for over 20 yrs and as annoying as McCarthy is, he's no Weis. There are an awful lot of nightmare scenarios as Supt from our own ranks as well from outside. Other than Sheriff Clarke from Milwaukee I can think of no improvements. I'd follow that guy to hell.
Getting McCarthy out as we all know is long overdue. Rahm probably has to get the ok from his New York sponsor /$$ man. Politics as usual only in Chiraq.
Yet, McCarthy is worried whether we wear a baseball cap or the god awful bus driver hat on the streets!
I agree, this goof has to go after five years of incompetence! There is a lot of blood spilled on his com-stat strategies!
The city could have all the police they need and the killings and shootings will still continue. Start talking to the idiots and their parents about stopping it. With a weak stance on crime via Cook County courts,jails and laws there are no consequences to actions here. More focus on black on black crime in the media and less cop on black alleged crimes. A new boss will not make a difference. Same shit different person to blame.
It is not at the top, it is the rank and file making alse reports, lying about statistics and discriminating against minorities. The city keeps changing superintendants when they need to overhaul the entire department, because too many employees, including officers are not qualified to do the job they are being paid to do.
Rahm took 300-400 million from Public Safety and used it for entitlements. 1200 officer erased from budget, lack of hiring when 800-1000 officers retired. Closed three districts and one area station. We are legit still down 2000-2200 from five years ago....WHEN CRIME WAS REALLY DOWN. And people wonder why CRIME AND SHOOTINGS ARE UP !!!!!!
New Supt. wont change anything. If we get more aggresive, we'll get sued and thrown under the bus.
What do the white, brown, yellow & GLBT caucuses have to say?
I hope McCarthy stays for 20 years, he is doing a hell of a job....
When is 15% not 15%? When FOP signs a letter of understanding with the the city of Chicago. Either the staff at FOP is woefully incompetent, inept, unprepared, in over their heads, illiterate OR they are intending to give the department and city anything and everything they want........take your pick, either way we are screwed.......memorandum of understanding should be memorandum of absolute authority.....the city's authority to deny anyone and everyone time due at their whim........the only way you will know you have time due is when you are on it........

IL is by far the worst state. Take a look at the graphs. IL went from over 50% funded to less than 40% in 5 years. While the market was doing well! Tell your kids they should go to WI if they are just starting out. Expect services and home values to drop.
All this coming from a nationally renown economics writer with no vested interest in IL.
I had no idea we were screwed this bad.
Who from the Dept. can be Superintendent? Nobody, that's who! The upper echelon are all merit hacks.
Whew. The Dept. was never in such dire straits. There were always at least a few bosses who were qualified.
You can shuffle things around all you want but it probably won't matter any. People who take these jobs go into it knowing they are short term jobs. That is one of the reasons that the pay tends to be more than one might otherwise expect.
Same thing happens with school superintendents for school districts that are in deep trouble. They come in knowing they probably won't be able to solve any of the problems the district has and that the district will likely end up either not renewing their contract or terminating their contract early.
Even if the city hired 5000 more cops it probably would not change much, and there is no money for more cops. Chances are that the number of city employees of all types is going to decrease over the next decade to help fund pensions. There is no realistic source of increased tax revenue available to fund pensions.
For those who think a city owned casino will solve the problem, look at the state lottery. My guess would be after all the connected parties get their cut, there won't be all that much left for pensions. It will be lucky to break even.
If they dump McNonuts in this weather; then there is more to the story. If he gets dumped in the Fall then you can blame the summer death toll on him.

distraction from something else? politicians have gotten very good at distracting the rest of us from what is really going on.
You want a leader with proactive policing in this political climate? GOOD LUCK! This day and age - proactivae policing will possibly get you sued, fired, or thrown in jail!
Everybody wants more police but the City just agreed with the Union we could do the job with 15% less officers every day.

Not so fast F-styk. The Rank & File are only complying with the directives by the Upper echelon who implement these ludicrous and divisive practices to the detriment of all invloved in perpetuating their(your) malfeasance
"Either the staff at FOP is woefully incompetent, inept, unprepared, in over their heads, illiterate OR they are intending to give the department and city anything and everything they want........take your pick, either way we are screwed.......memorandum of understanding should be memorandum of absolute authority....."
And don't forget duh FOP agreeing to furlough by watch. Having a minimum Patrol Officer staffing requirement for every district and watch in place beforehand would've made way too much sense.

Keep pushing it boys. You really think you will like life with wysinger? U think it sucks now just wait. These are the same people who hated Rodriguez, hated hillard, hated cline, hated jfled and now hate McCarthy. You know what I'm thinking?? Is that people on this job are know it alls who are they types of guys who would only be happy if they themselves were in charge... That's how smart they are. Maybe it's not the supt we have had, maybe it's you guys. Always miserable, always negative and always bitter. Get over yourselves. You guys get yourselves wrapped up in politics way too much
Mayor de Blasio’s Summer All Out program is turning into an all-out fiasco — with the NYPD forced to dole out massive overtime and cops choosing to retire rather than take part, The Post has learned.
Hizzoner’s highly touted anti-crime initiative is also relying on longtime NYPD desk jockeys to tame the city’s increasingly dangerous streets, which law-enforcement sources called a recipe for disaster.
Summer All Out flooded the city’s 10 worst precincts with 330 extra cops on June 8 — a month earlier than last year — to combat the recent spike in shootings and murders.
The cops, formerly assigned to administrative jobs, were initially supposed to work from 8 p.m. to 4 a.m., when most violent crimes take place.
But to quell widespread opposition among the rank and file, brass promised fatter paychecks containing at least 4¹/₂ hours of overtime per shift — or 22¹/₂ per week.
The sweetened deal includes a shift that begins a half-hour early, at 7:30 p.m., and at least two hours of guaranteed extra work per shift. The cops are also getting paid 2¹/₂ hours of overtime per shift to cover travel time to and from their new precincts — regardless of how long it actually takes.

But some veterans decided they’d rather walk away from their careers than walk a dangerous beat, sources said.
“Three or four . . . officers were sent to a certain precinct in Brooklyn, and instead of going and walking foot posts, they up and retired,” one source said.
Many of the All Out cops have been working desk jobs for a decade or more, so everyone underwent a two-day refresher course to get them familiar with the violence – and crime – plagued neighborhoods they have to patrol.
The crash course wasn’t nearly enough to prepare the cops for the dangers of facing down perps emboldened by de Blasio’s crackdown on stop-and-frisk and his anti-police rhetoric, sources said.
“Most of these cops have a cushy desk job, work from 7 to 3 or 6 to 2, pushing paper and then go home to Long Island,” one source said. “Now they are being thrown into the streets in the 75th or the 73rd [precincts] and they’re shell-shocked. They don’t know what to do.”
Many cops believe the All Out overtime would be better spent by letting existing patrol cops just work longer hours.
“If they have this kind of money to spend on overtime, they should just hire more cops,” one source said.
Others noted that while Summer All Out is supposed to target gun violence, many of the cops are being given “bulls- -t” assignments like enforcing minor traffic violations.
NYPD spokesman Stephen Davis defended Summer All Out, noting its success last year “in some of the precincts where it was deployed.”
“They’re not replacing street cops; they’re adding to cops on the street,” he said.

I laughed a few years ago when a shit head from Chicago crossed the State line into Wi. Within 6 months of doing a home invasion he was tried. convicted and sentenced to at least 10 years in prison. If only Crook County would provide swift justice maybe crime would actually decrease.
12 hour days implemented for 4th of July weekend. Thanks uncle Garry. Your the best!!!!!!!

Was Cline really that bad?
The next Superintendent will be a surprise, I think from the rank and file. A boss that many admire, who is quiet and low key, but gets the job done. Watch and see, Grasshopper. I'd bet my next retirement check on it.
John what have dug up this time???

1. He was probably told to find new employment by 01 June, failed to do so and now the media is being used to put the screws to him to make him go. Emanuel is not known for his patience.
2. NO new guy is going to be starting in chaos. A 'search' will be conducted. It will take months. New supe will be sworn in sometime in the Fall.
Yeah big Mac sucks...but off topic...if you are catholic,which I am not,you should be extremely concerned about this radical communist pope..just saying...looks like Obama 2.0..the manchurian canidate..and I haven't covered my tattoos yet..fuck these pencil pushing cocksmokers
Leo has been MIA in Springfield for a couple weeks. Me thinks he is working all his angles to replace Macdoodle. Only makes sense when all this drama is happening. I for one would be pleased to send him back your way. Thankyou for your service.
McCarthy's Replacement
Reality check: All current exempts are clouted up with Emanuel, aldermen and the revs. If Emanuel merely hinted that they lock up their own mother for jaywalking, these whores would do it. There is only one acceptible candidate for McCarthy's successor:
Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke.
What you got, Northside?
Hey McCarthy
Don't f--k with John Northen. Ask J-Fled. He probably has more career felony arrests than anyone in the entire history of the CPD. As a retired dic, I know first hand. He is relentless. If I was the victim of an unsolved homicide, he's the first guy I would want on my case.
What would work to bring down crime?

you are JUST realizing how bad it it? Wow, where you been at?
when he leaves it'll be the same circus just different clowns
The Crown hat Blows, Its only purpose is for picking up an Award at Headquarters,For protection from Weather its Shit,Baseball players wear baseball caps cause they work.Im not into this Macho Shit about looking like Ralpg Kramden,I HATE FUCKIN CROWN HATS,
Could be way worse - how about that piece of shit in Baltimore - gonna be more cops arrested - I would quit or retire before I'd work for that guy!!!!!!!
Yet, McCarthy is worried whether we wear a baseball cap or the god awful bus driver hat on the streets!
I agree, this goof has to go after five years of incompetence! There is a lot of blood spilled on his com-stat strategies!
Yes it is McCarthy's fault that all this blood was shed,and yes it is McCarthy's fault that we've gone back to the old hats.
This would be funny if this person wasn't serious,after all why blame all these low life animals for the killings or ourselves for the uniform adjustments.
You guys know and I don't. But it seems to me no matter who you put in charge, it will NOT change the culture and it will NOT lower the crime stats.
That being said, what it can change is level of the safety for the coppers on the streets. Nobody should be 99. Nobody should be in a car that is more than 3-5 years old. It's about about reasonably safe working conditions and morale. CPD has been "who you know" for a century or more, that ain't going to change. But it's about giving everybody the best tools and the best chance to go home safe (and that, everybody deserves).
X Chicago - Formerly NC - On the way to Texas
you couldn't pay me enough to be the head of any department these days, ESPECIALLY Chicago. The retarded fucking politicians are more worried about getting "their" guy in there than they are putting the bad guys in jail and keeping them there.
Look, this guy is no genius I guess, but what will the next guy do? Are all the showers suddenly going to put the guns down? Will he or she get the dough to hire new people? Boost morale? Get the dogs to work? It hasn't made a difference who the Fucking superintendent is. There's gonna be 500 murders and 1000 shot no matter who it is. It's moving deck chairs on the queen Mary. It won't matter.
And another thing. Give it up on the hats. The beefers are sounding like whiney bitches. Wear the crown cap. It's the new rule. Deal with it.
Strategies are nice WHEN YOU HAVE THE NECESSARY MANPOWER. Until the city hires more officers - the only thing Rahmulus can do is go to rallies and wonder why he gets booed.
Chicago's crime problems are cultural--teen moms, no dads, an amoral subculture that harvests its values from rap music,the crass materialism of shiny objects and violent video games. Good policing can marginally impact symptons at the margins, but the problems are beyond the scope of law enforcement. Even a decent, honest political class--if we dare imagine such a thing-- would face an uphill battle in making a dent in the appalling cultural and social dysfunction that engulfs entire neighborhoods here.
The shootings i'm used too.
The clearance rate is outrageous.
E.T's understaffed.
Detective division decimated by Area closures.
Crimes reclassified to garbage and patrol wonder why the will never be fully staffed again.
No commanders ever demoted for being a moron!
Please take a minute to view this video of Sheriff Clark of Milwaukee. He blasts Sharpton and Eric holder. He fully supports his men and other officers across the country.
http://www.thepoliticalinsider.com/black-sheriff-slams-al-sharpton-destroys-ferguson-race-rioters-video/
The blame for the violence does not belong at the feet of McCarthy. No regard for life and living life like it's a video game and no fear of real punishment is the root cause.
"Tell your kids they should go to WI if they are just starting out."
You've got to be fucking kidding. Walker is pushing that State into so much debt it will look like Kansas by years end.
all the politicins and cpd command staff don't give a fuck , they getting paid. do you really think rham , garry give a fuck about the citizens???? or cpd???? nope just making the clouted rich that's it.
The clearance rate is never going to get better because we have to follow the rules now in the treatment of criminals, victims, and witnesses and the deck is very much stacked against us and in favor of the criminals thanks to the left wing liberals that hate the police and love criminals.

Can't argue with you about some police doing dumb shit, but the problem is a little bit more complex than a few retarded police officers... Sorry, but if you think that the media and politicians have less to do with the crime problem than a few police officers that still think they're in high school, then maybe you're retarded yourself.
Yea lets blame the SUPT. Lets not blame the years of bad parenting the horrible social structure and lack of self responsibility for people mowing each other down. The only thing I don't agree with is VRI. Scab labor.

Maybe it's not the supt we have had, maybe it's you guys. Always miserable, always negative and always bitter. Get over yourselves. You guys get yourselves wrapped up in politics way too much

Thank You. I have been thinking this for a long time and could not have said it better.

Be careful what you wish for, I've been doing this for over 20 yrs and as annoying as McCarthy is, he's no Weis. There are an awful lot of nightmare scenarios as Supt from our own ranks as well from outside. Other than Sheriff Clarke from Milwaukee I can think of no improvements. I'd follow that guy to hell.

Yes, I recall similar sentiments for a superintendent in the past; Leroy Martin. Recall when he gave the speech that no gang is as tough as his gang, the cops. But, look what happened with him. He seemed to despise female police officers ands turned out to be a very political leader. Rumors abounded about him and his off duty habits. He retaliated against those who took police action against anyone in the political class ( recall Channel 2 news and their editorial on him and one of the sons of our Rev. Jackson ?). I think things are better now that Daley is out of office. How much better remains to be seen. I really do not think anyone who is the chief of a major city can ever be truly for the front line officers. The political forces are too strong, especially in this town that has honed racial politics to a new high. You will hear blacks call for a black superintendent, Hispanics call for a Hispanic boss, but you have never heard and probably never will hear whites call for a white chief.

It ain't Garry's fault but like all the other stooges that take that job he refuses to acknowledge and call out the real causes of the violence. So, in a way he does deserve to get the ax for claiming that a weekly tweaking of numbers called Compstat could somehow tame an out of control culture of urban violence. The politicians will just keep making excuses for their constituents and keep blaming inanimate objects like schools and guns instead of fatherless families, lack of responsibility and a culture of greed and ignorance fostered by cradle to grave entitlements and excuse making.

It's so easy for someone on an anonymous blog to criticize McCarthy or any other big boss or politician for not acknowledging the "real causes" of violence. Would you, Mr. Big Balls, get in front of two dozen reporters at a press conference and tell them the "real causes" of violence? And when you respond that you "wouldn't give a shit" what they thought, yada, yada, yada ... then we'd know you're full of crap because you'd NEVER have the balls to do that. So stop pushing other people over the cliff. Like most of us, I may have issues with McCarthy but I'd never expect him to discuss the "real causes" (which, let's be frank ... is simply a buzzword for race) in public. You may not like him but he's not stupid. Like you.

Was Cline really that bad?
6/22/2015 03:46:00 PM YES! He was by far the worst! Just promoted all his friends. Never had as many incompetent white shirts as he selected all his cronies. Just awful! Remember when he took the sgt's test to 362, giving a new one just so little Matt and his co-horts could score well. Yea they made it legit.
If Cline had taken that 2002 test to 500 like 1998 test half the people would not be retired but in good spots. Boo Hoo to Cine, whom spent just 2 years in a blue shirt in patrol, thanks to his connects.
I'll take McCarthy over Weis & Cline & Jackson, all beholding to a corrupt system. Don't get me wrong so is McGoof but at least he is trying to put movement back in the dept.
Not a police officer. I have 2 questions though. 1) is anyone aware of how many candidates of any at all the CFD has gone through since the test in december? 2) my CFD lottery number is pretty bad. Is considering the next CPD test a bad idea? Is the job worth it? Thanks and stay safe.
Not sure what number they are up to, but they WILL get through all of the well qualified fairly soon. Despite what you read here, the job is worth it. This is a place to complain about the 10% of the job that's fucked up. 90% of the time it's the best job in the world.
Blame Fat Pat Levar for the degenerates moving to Bryn Mawr & Central. Michael Realty wanted to convert the 3 flats and sell them as condos. Levar refused, so they Section 8-ed them instead.
Garry's trying to salvage his job by demanding two 12hr shifts over the Fourth.

Mayor de Blasio’s Summer All Out program is turning into an all-out fiasco — with the NYPD forced to dole out massive overtime and cops choosing to retire rather than take part, The Post has learned.

Being a cop isn't a bad job, not as good as it used to be, but as long as you can stay out of stupid, you should be fine.
Blaming him about violence is about as stupid as blaming teachers that the idiots can't learn. Could his policies be better? Oh yes they could. But the shooters will shoot anyway. Trapped in a classroom with 35 kids, half of which are rotten sociopaths is my idea of fun. They can beat you and you can't even defend yourself. Oh yea, good times.
why blame garry , over 75% of his command staff were a merit sgt . lt. or political merit appointed XO/captain , many came from units , cannot lead

You're entitled to your opinion. However, if I knew 15 years ago what I know now, I can't think of a worse career choice. Perhaps you suffer from severely diminished expectations.
