Busy Weekend
As you can imagine, the 12-hour day debacle is wreaking havoc with schedules of coppers all over town, including the ones here.
Comments may be delayed. Posting also. We'll get there when we get there. Besides, we're assuming that reading will be delayed for you, the visitors.
Be safe ladies and gents. Keep an eye on each other during these long days and longer nights.

JUST A CITIZEN says: Prayers for all of us this weekend. You have a lot of people who respect and admire you. Stay safe.
Look, we all signed up for this job knowing we'd be working weekends and holidays. Man up. Maybe crime will be down this holiday weekend and the police can start looking good again. Boo fucking hoo that we have to work a few extra hours.
I will be reading on my cell. I need something to pass the time on these 12 hour days
Don't let egos overstep logic. ANY Bastard who tells you don't worry about the weekend hasn't been in combat. Now be prepared!
Load up and be safe. If you carry a .45, bring two with you. If you carry a 9MM, bring a .45 with you as well. Load up on ammo too.
Forget the AR-15s and M-4s. Those are for hunting squirrels.
Bring a Thompson or better yet, just put a BAR in the trunk.
If you whip out a BAR on the street, I guarantee no Commie Bastard is going mess with you. You let go with a half a clip and you won't see anyone within miles. Get some tracer ammunition for it because it's the Fourth of July.
Carry on.
Look out for yourselves and the good citizens of Chicago.
Today is Friday and a day of communal prayer for Muslims. Saturday is the start of the week. Plan accordingly.
A hectic weekend is ahead for everyone. May all the coppers out there be safe and find enough time for some grilled food and a cold beverage. Thank you SCC for this informative blog.
Keep your eyes and ears open. We are under a terrorist threat. Be vigilant. The war against Islamic terrorism isn't over. Be safe and let's all pray that nothing happens.
Thank God I'm on furlough...........................
If the Dept. is so concerned about this weekend, they why aren't ALL Full Duty officers working 12 hour shifts?
BULLSH!T !!!!
Family men and women should not have to be subjected to these kind of changes in schedule with such short notice, just because Rahm doesn't want to hire.
Sorry but now in the camp of "See something, say nothing". Stay safe
Real nice use of taxpayers money for Overtime today. They make 2nd watch work 12 hour days and also force all headquarters and admin staff to TAKE THE DAY OFF today and the holiday. What those mice aren't the police? If they are not needed for the office put them on the streets. Tell them no time off. If they don't like it tell them go back to a district. NO ONE would leave.
no op order disseminated for the weekend until less than two days ago? what can go wrong? (sarcasm off )
What's the over/under for the weekend?
Maybe education reformers and union-busters can solve Chiraq's problems: http://windycityteachers.blogspot.com/2015/07/ed-reform-in-chiraq.html
Be safe and PLEASE be aware of not bunching up and being taken out by a secondary explosion. Remember that first 19-P Susp Pkg could be a ploy to draw us in.
We have been warned to have all hands on deck. Time due cancelled or extremely curtailed with the exception of a few.
We have been told there is no threat of terrorism, we just want to keep the shootings and homicides down. In contrast, New York City is geared up for the BIGGEST show of force yet in response to information they are acting on that says it's to get ready.
So, while New York gears up to fight terrorists, we have been told that our biggest mission is to keep the gang bangers from killing each other. That will embarrassing to the Mayor and may increase the calls for the Superintendent to be removed.
One more time: The rest of the Country is watching out for ASIS and other terrorists acting on credible information. We are told to put all our efforts into keeping gang bangers from killing each other.
Well Chicagoans, what do you think?
I agree, the hours make for a few long days but this was part of the deal when we signed up.
RDO today but I'll be out there the remainder of the weekend.
Be safe, fellow Officers!!
What's the over/under for the weekend?

I picked. 16 and 50.
The annual 4th of July PURGE has begun. Enjoy and be safe
to 12.48am,,,,,,go fuck yourself.
I had time due and DOH granted over a month ago. I made plans to go away for the weekend. I made non refundable reservations at a popular resort. With less than two weeks to go, ASSHOLE McIDIOT decides to let his plan out (I'd bet he'd had this planned months ago) to commute all discretionary time off because he allowed the Mayor to let manpower dwindle while he fiddled.
So forgive me while I bitch about getting fucked over so Mac can try and look good. it's got nothing to do with ISIS and everything to do with what happened last year
I belive in working longer hour's to Combat terrorism,I dont give a Shit about Gang bangers killing each other.
Keep your eyes and ears open. We are under a terrorist threat. Be vigilant. The war against Islamic terrorism isn't over. Be safe and let's all pray that nothing happens.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Were still at the same DHS terror threat level as when Bush left office. It has not changed one bit in years.... don't believe the "hype".
Lucky are the ones who's first day begins today.

Thank you for your P.M.A.- Positive Mental Attitude. This is the job we all signed up for. If you want to work banker hours: 9 AM to 5 PM then go apply to work at a bank as a security guard.
Keep the hood-rats from killing each other?
As a concerned citizen, PLEASE don't stop them.
More cops on the street? The supt has been telling the media we don't need anymore cops to reduce crime?
The fop should be out here supporting us in the field !!!
Waste of time and money. What will happen, will happen regardless.

TRU dat. Dublin's has a great BAR. Wendy's on Ashland south of Fullerton, not so much.
This just in. Investigation into Chicago Police Department's no bid contract with Axon for body cameras. Axon is another name for Taser International and Terry Hillard is a lobbyist for them. Pure coincidence right?
Rdo rdo rdo. :)
I think 70 will be shot !
12 hour days for 5 day. Fuck You to not let anyone have any time or energy left to spend with own family. Go Fuck Yourselves for this. It's bad enough working holiday when everyone is off, Now this 12 fucking hours. Why is this Superintendent still here after everything??????
Boo Hoo is right, prior to us winning union rights we worked any overtime at STRAIGHT TIME, no time and a half and only comp hours, no choice of money or time. Plus they could change your days off any time that the boss felt like it, if you were a dickhead they would change your day off group just when your weekends we approaching, we all signed up for this job and have to take the good with the bad, I worked in a specialized unit for years and we worked the 3rd of July for the Taste Fireworks, if you were off you got cancelled, same for New Years eve, but I will sit back and watch the fireworks on the Holiday as a retiree. But, I wouldn't mind being out there with you boys again, Stay Safe and sound this holiday weekend. Don't take anything you see or hear lightly. this is a screwed up time to be the Police.
Call me crazy but isn't that what the DA pay is for?
OT --
Fella here keeps telling and telling us Chicago gonna be "next San Francisco."
Afraid he's right, like the proverbial stopped clock that hits it twice a day -- tourists taking a hard shot here, there, Tunisia, all over.
Man arrested in connection with San Francisco killing had been deported several times, officials say
July 03, 2015
"The man arrested in connection with the seemingly random killing of a woman who was out for a stroll with her father along the San Francisco waterfront is an illegal immigrant who previously had been deported five times, federal immigration officials say.
"Further, Immigration and Customs Enforcement says San Francisco had him in their custody earlier this year but failed to notify ICE when he was released.
"DHS records indicate ICE lodged an immigration detainer on the subject at that time, requesting notification prior to his release so ICE officers could make arrangements to take custody. The detainer was not honored," ICE said in a statement Friday afternoon.
"Kathryn Steinle was killed Wednesday evening at Pier 14 -- one of the busiest tourist destinations in the city.
"Police said Thursday they arrested Francisco Sanchez in the shooting an hour after it occurred.
"On Friday, ICE revealed their records indicate the individual has been previously deported five times, most recently in 2009, and is from Mexico."

Can't stand that nasty ol' Trump boy -- don't want this country run like "Shark Tank," it's too much like that already -- but he's standing ground on some valid points, I have to give him that.
Like someone here said about our own catch-and-release violent local mentals; liberal desk staff not going to notify CPD so can be scooped into wagon when "evaluation" unpredictably ends -- just let 'em walk.
To strangle people with electric cords, and stuff like that.
Talk about s__t and look what come slidin in -- how's this "Sanctuary City" deal working out, Rahm?
Real quiet there from City Hall lately, he's probably up in Eagle River again (after checking for "violent militias") or out swingin a $6,000 bottle of wine at Rauner's verdant, spectacular private-preserve high-mountains Montana wine club for the long weekend. Jeez, at least learn to keep "beverage" concealed in brown-paper bag twisted around.
Like the last couple of years at least...
Come back all tanned, glance at the butcher's bill, snap "Someone handed me a s__t sandwich when I walked in here," and go right on.

60,000 LOUD citizen boos at Soldier Field for the 1%er, the Combine...

So that post about 100 Enterprise rent-a-vans transporting ofc. away from high-risk, soft-target areas into unusable areas of the city in order to protect crowds of useless, shouting men outside liquor stores from the threat of ISIS is true, huh?
Figures.
Oh. They don't give up. Redmoon Theater has been given leave (and, apparently funding) to burn more mockups of 1870s wooden houses up on dry ground on Northerly Island next time, in order to more effectively mock those who died in the Chicago Fire. Last batch got soaked, pyro wouldn't go. Amateurs.
When do we get an Eastland festival? Scraggly f___ers turn a kayak over in the river to simulate hundreds of deaths in a 1915 tragedy, the vast shock of which resonates down the years to this very day? I had people on there. Now in Concordia Cemetery.
Don't put it past 'em.
Uh, Rahm? We spit on you, too, guy.

Our tact team is off, I'd send you a pic of the beer I'm drinking, but I don't know how to. Tomorrow I'll try and figure out how to send a picture of my grill and family.
I heard the deuce is even letting the desk officers get 12 hour tours.

The government wants you to grill fruit for the Fourth of July.
July 02, 2015
"Forget hamburgers and hotdogs — the U.S. Department of Agriculture is pushing people to grill up pineapple slices, peaches, nectarines and other fruit for their big July 4th feast.
"Throw some grilled pineapple on the grill & get ready to enjoy nature's candy," USDA's "MyPlate" website tweeted out this week."

Can we serve it on the remaining stock of our Confederate flag paper plates? Just to use the plates up, of course.
GAAA ha. Where's the bratwurst and the Lowensenf Stark to slather on it?
Out of their tiny little minds.
As usual.
I'll call back when I get the new federal "Food Triangle" sticker on the inside of the 'fridge figured out.
Don't hold your breath.
Have a blast, all. God Bless America.

Everyone here is "just a citizen" too. Problems are only in the inverted pyramid, top-heavy with useless critics and parasites and "administrators" and "coordinators" and "directors" and "facilitators" and "consultants" and bureaucrats and deliberately-disruptive "public-policy-makers" getting paid handsomely on our dime to further their own weird, abnormal, alien, and destructive political agendas.
The sharp point presses down with its terrible weight upon all of our backs.
You are equally admired and respected. Just getting the dishes done can be a major effort for some -- an offering of the labor up to God when you don't know how you can do it one more time.
"There is nothing more important in a day then all of the small things that go to make up that day." Upon the sum total of millions of such "small" efforts rests the continuation of civilized society as we have known it -- until fairly recently.
Thanks so much for your kind wishes. They mean a great deal.
Stay safe yourself. Call 911 for help anytime and the police will come -- if the politicians allow them to.
Have a wonderful holiday.
From a citizen: God bless and stay safe. Thank you for all you do.
Transplanted Chicagoan living in DC which in on highest alert since 911,in Philadelphia for the weekend which is also on highest alert. They have been broadcasting this all week here on the East Coast and also friends on West Coast reporting the same. I guess Chicago isn't privy to this information. Stay safe.
This department is a joke and the citizens that keep voting for the regime I.e. Obama, Rahm, democrats in general are morons. Don't EVER complain about the police force that you have made this way by your direct actions or the bed you will be lying in. (the one that you made) Happy 4th, America is done, thanks democrats,liberals and socialists. Piss off!!!
Can't see any CPD Police protection out on the southwest side tonite. Where are they all ?

I would be more geared up for ISIS, balloon knot.
But then again, if they let us know an attack was eminent, half the dildos on our job would post it on Facebook.
Off topic; Can someone please make Captain SL a Commanderalready......Please get him out of here. Does he have any friends off duty????????
ASIS?!? Who are they? Are they associated with the Peoope's Front of Judea? Or perhaps he Judean People's Front? Maybe the Judean Popular People's Front? Fucking splitters!
Wow I spent the whole tour watching kids play in the park. Good use of man power....
Two tier police department. District grunts who are seldom shown respect by the brass and are often treated with disdain and the chosen ones who have the holidays off, given city cars to drive, and never have to worry about the rejection of time due. I'm sick of this shit!!!

What a joke!!!
GOD BLESS you guy's and girls becareful have each others backs come home safe.Ret. CPD.
It can't be that serious, Georgas is supposed to be on furlough....so while the rest of you suckers are getting time due and days off canceled and running around for 12.5 hours chasing the bangers and responding to calls, Big Boy Steve will probably be in flip flops stuffing burgers down his throat sipping a frosty beverage. Happy Fourth of July.
"If you whip out a BAR on the street, I guarantee no Commie Bastard is going mess with you. You let go with a half a clip and you won't see anyone within miles."
Really? Ten rounds of '06 is just enough to wake the whole block up, hours off their normal schedule, so they come pouring off the porches and beat you to death with chair legs and lug wrenches and such.
Better make the next ten count, fella.
Oh. The BAR is not clip-fed.

Up here in Edison Park. I haven't seen a single squad car in at least 3 weeks patrol anywhere in the radius of Harlem, Nrthwst Hghwy, Devon and Olaphant. I wonder why. We pay so much taxes here. Where is everyone?
Look, we all signed up for this job knowing we'd be working weekends and holidays. Man up. Maybe crime will be down this holiday weekend and the police can start looking good again. Boo fucking hoo that we have to work a few extra hours.
7/03/2015 12:48:00 AM
Look stupid!
It has nothing to do with signing up for this job and has everything to do with poor leadership and preparations on the part of City Hall and McStupid!
Why don't you go and kiss Rahm and McCarthy's asses for all the problems they created by these two buffoons!
This kind of crap never happened before and it is happening now due to low manpower and anti-police attitudes!

Spent Friday night with family. Slept for 9-10 hours and am ready for 04-JUL activities with extended family. This job is great, S/S day off group. My only complaint is that they kept us for all 8 hours on Friday, bastards. Should've let us go early. Wow, 12 hour days must suck. We'll probably enjoy festivities for 12 hours today. It will take a lot, but I'll make it. Maybe I'll throw in a slip for Monday to recoup from the weekend. You guys be safe out there and back each other up.
GMAC was seen driving around 006/007 up and down damen/Ashland last night ready to pounce on anything that came his way.

Off topic; Can someone please make Captain SL a Commanderalready......Please get him out of here. Does he have any friends off duty????????
Lol, by the way please promote the incompetent commander while your at it. And no they don't have friends off duty! He and the genius commander and CAPS Sgt. are running around in 003 trying to hold down this ghetto Music fest on the east end of the District near the lake. We have no real back-up and we are one mele away from the entire District going up. They have no clue what to do and are trying to make us enforce nonsense which could spark up a riot. Fortunately, we have more sense and NO! Your not getting any contact cards or any activity for that matter, today or any day. Especially, while we have to work for the shitiest bosses in the city. Bring back GE! And SL should be ashamed of what he's become! What's left of the tact teams and mission teams have all but shut down because of these two. Good luck with the upcoming increase in shootings and index crimes at Comp Stat.....lol. Now where was I? Ah yes, Internet surfing.

You obviously don't know anything of ballistics...I'll take a 9 over a 45 any day of the week. As well as the ballistics of the 5.56 round and its killing capability, it's not about caliber it's about penetration and shot placement read up moron.

You're also not the police!
how is it that a certain bid desk person in 012 who never works the desk( holding up a bid spot) because she does the " compstat #'s" for the sorry ass boss, was off today with the rest of the front office clowns- you know- the blond bimbo, the crabby " you need to fill out the to/from sheet to request to see your time " timekeeper. yet her time was adjusted to show her working when in fact she didn't so that she could benefit from the 12 hr schedule... hmmmmmmm , who else gets to adjust their schedule to make it look like they were there when they were not to get the time on the books or to get paid? this is bullshit!! ( sort of like how the blond bimbo who works days in that front office and obviously was allowed to pick her furlough with midnights so as to get a premium furlough segment)012 continues to turn a blind eye yet do shit in front of people and they get away with it!!!! anyone willing to open their mouths and say anything? or better yet, maybe someone from headquarters wanna " check it out" and put all these Primadonnas in their fucking place? it's here in writing, now look into it......... hint-- crosscheck the A/A sheets submitted vs the ones that are put out there for the watch[es]to look at. oh yeah and that J.C. Guy, he's probably the only straight honest person there is up there
I worked with Capt. SL at the academy for seven years. He is sharp! He is the real police. He is always nice. He is the kind of person who just wants you to do your job! My only issue with Capt. SL is he went to QS. Go Norsemen.
It has nothing to do with signing up for this job and has everything to do with poor leadership and preparations on the part of City Hall and McStupid!
Why don't you go and kiss Rahm and McCarthy's asses for all the problems they created by these two buffoons!
This kind of crap never happened before and it is happening now due to low manpower and anti-police attitudes!
Signed KMA, with over 20 years on!
***********************************************************************************************
I'm calling BS on your "over 20 years on". This was done for 5 of the 6 Bull's championship "celebrations". 12 hour days for two watches and the third watch was deployed to the south and west side to ensure safe and orderly "celebration"..... which meant keep the looting to the south and west side! :-)
Thank God I'm on furlough...........................
I second that! 3 weeks of kicking back and having fun in the sun!
And the best part...... I come back for 1 week and then get to do it all again!
Love having the summer off.
Two tier police department. District grunts who are seldom shown respect by the brass and are often treated with disdain and the chosen ones who have the holidays off, given city cars to drive, and never have to worry about the rejection of time due. I'm sick of this shit!!!
Then quit.
Not shown respect in your current district? Bid out.
Not among the chosen ones? Maybe if you change your attitude things would change.
Do anything but STOP THE WHINING!
If im not mistaken, dispatchers get DOUBLE TIME AND A HALF FOR WORKING OVERTIME ON THE 4TH! WTF!!!

Spent Friday night with family. Slept for 9-10 hours and am ready for 04-JUL activities with extended family. This job is great, S/S day off group. My only complaint is that they kept us for all 8 hours on Friday, bastards. Should've let us go early. Wow, 12 hour days must suck. We'll probably enjoy festivities for 12 hours today. It will take a lot, but I'll make it. Maybe I'll throw in a slip for Monday to recoup from the weekend. You guys be safe out there and back each other up.

What a nice guy. Taking time out from your family time to post on the blog about your S/S day off. You must be a real house mouse answering phones. Why do you feel the need to slam the officers working 12 hour shifts? Then you write; " stay safe"? What a douche bag. Every once in a while there is justice when inside empty holsters are forced on the street. I can only hope your turn is soon. GFY

to 12.48am,,,,,,go fuck yourself.
I had time due and DOH granted over a month ago. I made plans to go away for the weekend. I made non refundable reservations at a popular resort. With less than two weeks to go, ASSHOLE McIDIOT decides to let his plan out (I'd bet he'd had this planned months ago) to commute all discretionary time off because he allowed the Mayor to let manpower dwindle while he fiddled.
Doesn't matter that you put it in a month ago. All time due requests for 3-5th had to be approved by a Deputy Chief. You fault for making non refundable plans. If you want a guaranteed 4th off - pick a furlough that cover 4th of July (7b this year). It's the same every year re: time around the 4th. Shouldn't be a surprise.

But he's entitled to it! Just like he's entitled to not cover up his tattoos! Entitled to not listen to a Sgt's orders! Entitled to not follow the general orders! The entitlement generation is ruining America and this police department!

Once again cry baby that is in their contract not ours.
Very true comment. One of the guy's that use to work for S.L. approached another officer. An officer made some personal comments about the captain's family and was called on it. This goes to show what kind of boss he is. An officer stuck up for him even when the guy doesn't even work for him anymore. He does have friends and many at that. Just shut you're mouth and do your job.
Off topic; Can someone please make Captain SL a Commanderalready......Please get him out of here. Does he have any friends off duty????????

Whats wrong ? Is he making you do some work ? Or making you actually wear the uniform properly ? Capt SL is a prince of a boss and never turned a helping hand to anyone .
you must be a ass kisser cap sl is a micro managing,napoleanic, phony, backstabbing know it all. it has nothing to do with work. he is 100 percent ass kissing department guy. he knows it all just ask him.
I'm far from a kiss ass . I just know how to respect a good boss when I see one . They are far and few between . I would bet my last dollar he hasnt back stabbed anyone . Your obviously mad about something to call someone names which are all false. "Phony"- how so? To His own fault he loves the department and makes it a priority in his life , more than most . How is he "phony " to you ? He is a working policeman and looks out for the same . If you say he isn't the. Your talking out of your ass . He hasnt "been there done that " be he has certainly been a working copper.
Micro manager ? Probably . Specially if your sloppy . Turning in half ass paper . Not following up as you should or just doing that cttv when it's a legit Psmv cause your either lazy or ignorant . Napoleon ? He's a captain of police . He has plenty of weight to throw around . I don't see him doing it . In fact he routinely reaches out to P o s when there in the need . So how napoleanic ?
- now it all , well he is very well versed In the general orders , law and dept. going back to my first point : to his fault he has made CPD his priority .
So unlike you , I'm refraining from calling names "ass kisser" I'm just pointing out the obvious . It's apperant that your a dog that's been hiding in 003 and your mad because he called you on it . Be safe down there
"Oh. The BAR is not clip-fed
Wrong it uses 20rd mags."

Wrong. A "clip" and a "magazine" are two entirely different things.
Example -- M1 Garand is clip-fed. "It is loaded by inserting an en-bloc (i.e., it goes into the rifle's action and functions as part of the rifle) metal clip (containing eight rounds) into the receiver; and that the rifle fires one round each time the trigger is pulled. After the eight rounds have been shot, the empty clip automatically ejects [out the top of the open action] with an audible "ping" noise [and the bolt locks open, ready for next clip to be inserted]."
Here's a good photo of a full M1 clip --

...and here's how the weapon is loaded.

You learn fast to WATCH YOUR THUMB when that bolt snaps forward to chamber the first round!
BAR uses 20-rd. detachable box magazine, same idea as AK-47, M-4, etc.
Very common mistake in nomenclature. No biggie, unless someone is talking s__t like they're an "expert." >grin<
Stay safe.
friends off duty????????

you couldn't be more wrong, I cant get into specifics because the retaliation would be fast. but I know first hand your wrong, sorry not a dog, just because I don't like your guy . I can find you a lot of hard workers that don't care for him, and that he is all about himself. and he does not take care of officers period, just because he talks polite and tries to be a regular guy for appearances don't make it so. themajority of the troops in three cant stand him and cant wait for him to get promoted. that includes lt, and sgts to. I bet you dontg even work for the guy in his district, or you are sl responding yourself.

Neglected to mention -- technique is to shove clip down, keeping tip of thumb bent up a little high, while restraining the op. handle with the edge of right hand. Once the clip bottoms out, locks in, and trips the bolt release, then you move your right hand up and let the bolt snap forward. Then rap the op. handle to make sure bolt is closed.
There are still guys out there with a permanently corrugated right thumbnail from a bad case of "M1 Thumb." Big cartridge, so powerful bolt spring! Easy to avoid.
To show difference real simply, the next-model M14 was basically the M1 adapted to take a detachable box magazine that loaded and latched in from below, and chambered for 7.62mm NATO instead of .30-'06, and with select-fire added. After that, M16 and variants became our next service rifle, whole different concept based on firearms designer Eugene Stoner's work.
..and like Paul Harvey used to say, "and THAT...is the rest of the story!"
