Hiding Numbers Again? (UPDATE)
The official numbers end up being 9 dead and 47 wounded:
- Fourth of July weekend shootings have left nine people dead — including a 7-year-old boy — and at least 47 others injured since Thursday evening.
That's shootings. We didn't see this one mentioned in the totals:
- A 27-year-old man was fatally struck by a vehicle that sped away after the crash Sunday morning in the North Lawndale neighborhood on the Southwest Side.
About 5 a.m., John Perry was struck by the vehicle in the 1100 block of South Francisco, according to police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office. The vehicle sped away after the crash.
Considering that the offender (a pissed off girlfriend) had to drive over a 10-inch curb, chase the deceased down the sidewalk and run over a wrought iron fence to kill him, well, that kind of stretches the meaning of the word "pedestrian" to the breaking point. That's a homicide.
UPDATE: Official numbers keep climbing - we're as far as 10 killed and 55 wounded. That means that how many millions were spent on overtime and the net result is a whopping 17 less shot from last year? Perhaps someone with an accounting certificate could sit down and calculate how much this breaks down per shooting, then draft a referendum for the next election to stop spending money in a futile effort.

SpankDaddy will not answer that woman's phone call.
These numbers prove one thing 12 hour days 1st and second watch and 3rd watch manpower on the street at the same time just shows Cpd does not have enough manpower or brainpower in command staff in the ability to police this city
That be one mad b***h!
Also, the media is reporting numbers from 0001hrs Sat. Or, as they are saying, "as of midnight Friday night the totals are..."
I would think they shaved a few numbers off that way.
Can some active or retired CPD give us - regular Chicago citizens some advice on organizations to join to confront Chicago's gang crime and same old Lib, hate Whitney politics ?
Conservative Republican anti crime politics seems not to be in Chicago at all and outside of that great Sheriff Joe A in Arizona where is there any law and order Republicans - certainly not in the GOP Presidential field. Have others noted Lib Libertarian Rand Paul taking the George Soros, Al Sharpton side in Ferguson?
All the extra taxpayers dollars thrown at the ghetto thugs problems and nothing changes! More police than residents in some areas, money wasted! The government media complex is in full swing, Obama swung open the gates for illegals, to keep democratic idealism alive! Don't think so? Why are they allowing no identification requirements for voting? Pathetic!
how do you deal with people who's conflict resolution skills is to get a gun,knife or car and kill you?
I can just see only a 99B generated (ordered by a boss) and the guys/gals at MAIS getting into it with the Dics. I've seen it before on several occasions. if the facts are as stated by scc, two RDs are required-a TA and a homiecide
As long as none of them were killed by white cops, no one cares. I will continue to not stop and frisk young black men for pistols, per community consensus. Maybe a few more #blacklivesmatter/#icantbreathe/#handsupdontshoot marches would have prevented this. More hash tags less harassing young black men by the racist police.
National Guard coming to Chicago. To do what McDrunky failed to do. Mc Carthy step down, resign all ready.
But wait... black lives matter.
off this subject matter. What is happening with Off. Densey Cole? No more news has been sais. Is the city paying his rent and medical bills? Did Ald Burke come to the rescue?
I don't trust the numbers that the news reports. It's sad when I trust out friends at Heyjackass instead of what's being parroted. As for the vehicular homicide, well, we'll see. Death investigation, most likely. And it'll be upgraded to a murder on a holiday weekend when no one's paying attention to the news.
hey Rahm, if the 7 year olds father doesn't help the police with the investigation, don't pay for the funeral. Let his fathers gang pay for it.
1100 S. Francisco is now on the Southwest side?
Where do they scrounge up these reporters from?
McCarthy is quoted as saying he is tired of the press conferences on the shootings and murders and that the system is broken in chicago. Well no shit Sherlock.If you are tired of your job many would be very happy to see your resignation.If you were a General in our military I'm sure you would have been gone after a statement like that. And what happened to that black caucus that was working to pressure Rahm for a replacement. Oh yes Rahm is the puppet master.
Congratulations!
Putting all the extra officers on the street cut the number killed by about a third, and the number shot by about 20%.
Were arrests up over the weekend compared to 13 and 14?
Top cop said the bullet that hit 7 year old boy shot at Humboldt park was intended for child's father.
Did the killer confessed?
Is the killer in effen custody?
NO! Exactly so why are they making the statement.
If that is true is still not the fathers fault, an idiot shot at him. If any Father is a thug, a drug abuser a bad father it still not an excuse to shoot an innocent child. Did he contribute to the death? Maybe.but the father still did not pull the darn trigger.
Is like saying is DCFS fault this father is a bad dad they should of taking the baby. Is the shooter that killed the 7 year old child.

Moderate citizen here...
Just wondering... How many of you ladies and gents here where out JUST BEFORE MIDNIGHT watching firecrackers being popped when you were 7 YEARS OLD?
I am not blaming the kid, it's sad/wrong to have him pass.
BUT when I was 7 YEARS OLD, I was asleep in the bed at midnight.
Actually the whole family was sleeping by midnight.
Where is the structure, discipline, and morals of people today? I guess in the gutter or better yet, out in the street at midnight.
These homicides and shootings have nothing to do with gun control.
It has to do with locking these f---ing losers up for many many years for violent crimes and really punish them, not make jail/prison so inviting.
And lock the revolving door. LOCK IT
Hiding dangerous criminal illegal aliens again, too.
Uh, Rahm? Here's how "Sanctuary City" policies kill --
Feds fire back at San Francisco, point finger at city for releasing suspected killer
July 06, 2015FoxNews.com
"Federal immigration officials fired back Monday at San Francisco for putting back on the street an illegal immigrant -- with a lengthy criminal record, and deported five times -- now charged with the murder of a young woman at a popular city pier, saying "this terrible tragedy" could have been prevented if they had been notified of the suspect's release.
Francisco Sanchez, a Mexican national [with seven prior felony convictions] now under arrest on a homicide charge for last week's fatal shooting of Kathryn Steinle, 32, was [straight out of prison and] in the custody of the San Francisco Sheriff's Department last March 26 on a decade-old drug charge, but was released on April 15 after local law enforcement officials declined to prosecute him.
"Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) said that at the time it had turned over Sanchez to local law enforcement, it also had requested that they be kept apprised of any changes in his status -- and they weren't.
"If San Francisco authorities "had merely NOTIFIED ICE that they were about to release this individual into the community, ICE could have taken custody of him and had him removed from the country -- thus preventing this terrible tragedy."
"Sanchez reportedly has admitted in a jailhouse interview that he shot Steinle.
"He told KGO-TV Sunday in a mix of Spanish and English that he found a gun wrapped inside a shirt while he was sitting on a bench at the pier and smoking a cigarette.
"So I picked it up and ... it started to fire on its own," Sanchez said, adding that he heard three shots go off.
"Sanchez said he was at the popular pier to shoot at sea lions, and discarded the firearm after realizing he had shot Steinle."

Sure crime is down Thanks Toni vecannot lock up people of color we need. We really need to have 80% of Cook County Jail closed.
A career criminal who has been sentenced to a combined 97 years in prison since 1976 is back in jail, accused of breaking into a Lake View home on Thursday morning. Robert German, 59, had been released on parole 16 days earlier.
Police responded to the 3900 block of Janssen at 9:30AM after a woman reported that she heard glass break while she was taking a shower and she saw broken glass when she looked out of her bathroom door. The woman fled onto the street, wrapped in a bath towel.
German, a Black Souls gang member, has been sentenced to a combined 97 years in prison over the past 39 years:
July 1976 - 6 years for burglary
July 1976 - Another 6 years for burglary
July 1976 - Another 3 years for burglary
September 1976 - 6 years for burglary
December 1981 - 5 years for burglary
June 1983 - 6 years for burglary
June 1986 - 8 years for burglary
July 1990 - 8 years for burglary
July 1990 - Another 8 years for burglary
April 1994 - 30 years for burglary
April 2009 - 9 years for burglary
What happen to the Commanders visiting gang leaders and telling them, "we're watching you"?
As long as a copper doesn't get shot, I don't give a flying fuck. This is what you "I hate the police" fuckers wanted so now eat your shit sandwich. Don't forget the crust.
Maybe the person who shot the 7 year old was a white cop from the future, like in Minority Report, could happen.
"Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said the weekend outbreak in violence shows the number of officers working the streets isn't as critical in preventing shooting... "If you think that putting more cops on the street would make a difference, then take a look at the fact that we put a third more manpower on the street for this weekend," McCarthy said. "What's the result? We're getting more guns. Well, that's great. It's not stopping the violence."
He'll have to be reminded of that the next time they decide to cancel days off.
Yeah, right!
The only solution is even more OT.

There's a go-fund me page set up for him. It's at a little over 16.5k. Spread the word and let's at least get him the 18k he needs to get current on utilities.
see, your actually kind of skewing numbers. The total shot and killed is 55. of those 55 ten were killed. so, 10 killed and another 45 shot for a total of 55. The way you make it sound its 65 total, which is not the case... Either way you look at it though its a loss and its bad news.

They're not Irish anymore. They moved their music publishing company to the Netherlands in 2006 to avoid paying taxes
on their publishing royalties.
For a while, Bono also carried an honorary Bosnian passport, but there were rumors he would be stripped of it, since Bosnian law does not allow honorary passports.

It's you who doesn't know what they're talking about. The father is the reason the kid's dead.
Damn, my predictions for mayhem were pretty damn close. I had 9 dead and 45 shot. The honor students must have worked on the whole accuracy thingy.
1100 block of North Harding is Humboldt Park? On whose map?

Look at it realistically.
The 7 year old is one that will never grow up to turn a gun a copper or breed more hood rats.

No citizens' groups are going to effect change, unless they're groups that remove children from the cribs (I can't say 'homes' because they aren't homes) of gang members and welfare leeches , raise them with some semblance of ethics, morals and personal responsibility, teach them to read, write and think independently, then mentor them through their teens and early twenties with an eye toward keeping them away from any contact with their former families, friends or circumstances.

This is why I favor a "Green Stamps" approach. Something like "100 misdemeanors = 10 felonies = 1 capital offense."

I was at a couple of them, so maybe I heard it a little different than you. What he said was that America has it's problems and he made reference to Baltimore and Ferguson. What he emphasized was that America wasn't just a Country, it was the ideal that the world should strive to be.
Bono is a true idealist who puts his money (and time) where his mouth is. He is not in it for the pats on the back or secure his spot in Heaven. While I don't always agree with him, like Paul Newman when he was alive, he is the real deal. He likes George Bush, too.
I am a firefighter with C.F.D. Most recently there was a shooting in 9 where the victim walked away unscathed. However, his windshield and interior of car told an entirely different story. The victim was shot at point blank range with either a .40 or .45 which had a total of 6 shots fired. Four of the shots went through the windshield striking the headrest and center (chest area) portion of the seat. The other 2 shots ended up in the hood of car toward the firewall. The commander of 9 and some other gold star schmuck immediately declared that this was not a shooting but criminal damage to property. He advised the paper car to document as such. I do not get it. Now, I understand first hand how the F.B.I. does not use the statistics sent in by the Dept.
Just accept the numbers the government gives us. From people shot, shot dead to the unemployment numbers and about our economy. The government controls the data so you really can't scrutinize it. There is no accountability and no transparency.
"...not make jail/prison so inviting."
7/06/2015 11:29:00 AM
It is not inviting. Steel, concrete, endless screaming and banging and TVs turned up loud enough to strip the paint off the walls.
What most can't grasp is that it is not much different than many people's daily environment outside. They hardly notice. One place is about the same as another.
We still have officers posting pictures of themselves on Facebook in full uniform. Despite the security threat mentioned at roll call. There are people at work who are literally addicted to Facebook on their cell phones. WTF? Plus they even list their employer as the Chicago Police Department. Maybe I am old and stupid. But when I first heard of Facebook a few years ago I thought to myself "wow that is stupid, any police man who posts pics of himself and their family is an idiot".
Use your head and common sense. Imagine if a bad guy hurt your own child (i.e. "I just dropped off Jimmy at xxxx school. Now I need a beer. LOL".).
Question for Gary. How many gun permit holders were arrested for murder last year? How Tammany of those individuals that legally possess firearms in the Chity of Chicago were arrested for killing someone? And what was the percentage of those permit holders of the total number of arrestees? Can someone ask him that question and insist he answer it and maybe even FOIL it ?? That should silence him and the "number of guns" nonsense he keeps spewing.

Hey SCC,
Our unofficial official tally ends with 11 killed and 55 wounded. Sunday ran up the score with 6 killed and 29 wounded, a multi-year best. Another record was the 6 killed, 27 wounded from the post-Navy Pier fireworks Saturday through 6:00a Sunday morning (9 hours).

I love these posts. Basically saying that the police department carries the blame for 70 or so shootings. If we had more coppers we could stop the violence. That is utter BULLSHIT. In the early 80's we had 13k coppers. 500, 600 murders a year. If we had 20k coppers it wouldnt matter. It's not our fault. VRI, cops in boxes, 12 hour shifts, narcotics in uniforms. The violence never stops. You cannot police your way out of this. Stop saying it's because we are short, which I KNOW we are. More coppers might make it easier to get a day off, but thats it.

Pictures from the scene show, at around 200am-300am, cops at the scene and detectives etc. And kids hanging around gawking at the police! At 300am! Gawking at a murder scene on the street by themselves. A failed society. Like Somolia, run by warlords.
I was at one of the U2 shows and libtard Bono gave a shout out to Ferguson and Baltimore. He is truly a disgrace but no different than most musicians and actors who have never stepped foot into the real world. It's easy to "feel" for the "underprivileged" when you sleep on mountains of money.
There goes the argument that more officers on the street equals less crime.
Anyone go to any of the U2 concerts? Jackass Bono saying I'm an American, I have my hands up, I can't breathe. What a POS. Disgrace to the Irish.
He should be embarrassed. How can a multi millionaire rock star from Ireland try to act like he gives a fuck or has some type of kinship or connection w some ghetto fool w a rap sheet 4 miles long from NY who died while resisting arrest?
Bono is a true idealist who puts his money (and time) where his mouth is. He is not in it for the pats on the back or secure his spot in Heaven. While I don't always agree with him, like Paul Newman when he was alive, he is the real deal. He likes George Bush.
Well Newman advocated for the piece of shit cop killer being released in Philadelphia. So fuck bono. Fuck Paul newman. And fuck you for supporting them.
Not a cop and hopefully this will not get buried. Black man, born and raised in the projects, they are torn down now, they were located on what is now prime property in the Kenwood Oakwood area. My dad was one of the first paramedics and we moved out of the projects. Dad was ex military and he did not fuck around. In the house by the time the street lights hit and he believe in corporal punishment when it was okay to do so. In the schools as well. You caused a disturbance in class it was your ass. Teacher had a wooden paddle she called TLC and it was not funny. Kids today you cannot do any of that. Sure I had some incidents with police but times were different. I got robbed once leaving the bakery on 55th, we used to get our bread there. Project kids jumped me I was not paying attention, so I got pissed and chased them near the Robert Taylor Homes. Had a knife in my hand out and ready, luckily for me a white cop stopped me, asked me in not a nice tone what the fuck was I doing. After hearing my story he gave me a 20 and took me back to the bakery and told me to get the fuck home. Again these days are different. The war on drugs is a joke, judges let the real criminals back on the streets and the black churches literally praise these animals when they are released. I am serious. They memorize the bible while locked up, come out and the black church just eats that shit up. I am done. 45 arrests and breathing air? Gun arrests and you get a bond? In what fucking Bizarro world is this? Shooting at cops, you have a record and the family gets paid? Damn.
Here in the old 13th District sections of the 12th District it was like we'd been transported back in time...BMcC. We saw squads patrolling, 911 calls were answered within minutes and there were Park Cars and Rapids in the evenings. Yeah, we know it was an illusion, but sure made us feel a lot safer. We know it was a tough weekend for you officers, but know it was greatly appreciated.

They have also laid out the bullshit variables (mostly embodied

Said FUCKERY/Variables, vigorously rubbed against those constants
HAVE yielded a bullshit crime-fighting product in Chicago.
Now... Repeat it slowly and see if the lights (for those who tried their
damnedest to keep flunking this class ;^) finally come on.
"There goes the argument that more officers on the street equals
less crime."
But...
Are those officers "free" to actively hunt?
Do they have the training, equipment, leadership,
civic/community backing, legal and judicial support
and sanction to actively and relentlessly hunt and pursue
hardened street criminals?
Can they actively and relentlessly hunt/pursue in this era of de facto "Duty to Retreat"
in the face of spontaneous individual/organized "community" opposition in spite of
what is enumerated in The Illinois Criminal Code of 1961 which
is THE foundational bedrock upon which Policing in this state
STILL stands?
(The expectation that the duly sworn Law Enforcement Officer
WILL overcome all resistance to lawful execution of his sworn duties?)
Yes even inclusive of subsequent revisions for those who
wish to pick nits.
Hint:
Strict and hard-eyed reading/application of The Illinois Criminal Code of 1961
leaves no room whatsoever for this "public servant" fiction that a lot of people
have bought into because they don't like the idea of "Policeman" as he is
depicted in the statute.
Any lights on yet?

"I was at one of the U2 shows ..."

I was present when the U-505 was hauled out of the lake and across Lake Shore Drive to the Museum Of Science And Industry.
That is the only "U" that rings a bell with me.
All the other "U"s, including "Uber" (ripped off, butchered, no umlaut) are merely part of der Scheisskultur. No need to translate.
I like this quote......
Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said the weekend outbreak in violence shows the number of officers working the streets isn't as critical in preventing shooting... "If you think that putting more cops on the street would make a difference, then take a look at the fact that we put a third more manpower on the street for this weekend," McCarthy said. "What's the result? We're getting more guns. Well, that's great. It's not stopping the violence."
He'll have to be reminded of that the next time they decide to cancel my days off.

"Bono Foundation For The Assistance Of Elderly Victims Of Crime."
Need a few hundred to have their locks changed after they were hurled down a flight of stairs in a purse-snatch and split their heads open on the oak banister.
I see the billboards all over.

Someone around here got their feet on the ground and it ain't no "Bono."
Did anyone mention the one on Michigan ave the other day? I believe it was after the fireworks.
As long as a copper doesn't get shot, I don't give a flying fuck. This is what you "I hate the police" fuckers wanted so now eat your shit sandwich. Don't forget the crust.

Old retired dick here. To the above good man, well said to the tee. You poor guys have to spend dealing with the roaches here for hours a tour. Ant legit citizen should kiss your asses for the great work you do keeping the beast at bay from good people.
Us street copper' in the 70' and 80' dealt with the beast with an iron fist, race meant nothing to us...a\ a white jag off is just as deadly as a blaack JO. There was no bias dealing with hood rats of the city.
No one mother fucked us and most dropped their heads when we drove past them. How you good men and women keep your cool is a miricle. It has to take it' toll on your health and well being. I wish you great people all the best in keeping sane. I wish all us hard hitting retired copper' had answers in keeping you guys sane other then all of you having blinders on.
May God keep all you great patrol people safe and sound, for you are all the BEST in the nation.
Yes Jaye, some of us noticed what Rand Paul did. He took the side of the left and blamed the Police for Ferguson and Baltimore. Which is why he lost my vote. I USED to be a fan but when he did that, I saw him for what he is-a politician,nothing more.
14 dead
55 shot

I can just see only a 99B generated (ordered by a boss) and the guys/gals at MAIS getting into it with the Dics. I've seen it before on several occasions. if the facts are as stated by scc, two RDs are required-a TA and a homiecide
that why this job is messed up............. One RD# Homicide its not an accident. The car is the weapon an accident is just that, an accident.
Would you like to explain in court why there are two RD#s? One for an accident???? Its called a traffic crash report for just that reason !!
We had a ASA at felony review tell us that their policy, at that time, was to only use the last eighteen months activity on a rap sheet. Some mutts still qualified for class X felony convictions. They would I-bond anyone for anything at CPD and County! Just keep changing the rules.
A civilian friend of the family who lives in 018 posted this on FB about our 12-hour days:
"My tenants had to call 911 last night because of non-stop late-night racket next door. The responding officers were SO EXHAUSTED. They said these 12-hour shifts were killing them; they apologized for being kind of "out of it." And I apologized for my tenants having to call them about something less urgent than murder."
At least some citizens get it.

Can some active or retired CPD give us - regular Chicago citizens some advice on organizations to join to confront Chicago's gang crime and same old Lib, hate Whitney politics ?
Conservative Republican anti crime politics seems not to be in Chicago at all and outside of that great Sheriff Joe A in Arizona where is there any law and order Republicans - certainly not in the GOP Presidential field. Have others noted Lib Libertarian Rand Paul taking the George Soros, Al Sharpton side in Ferguson?

The Republican Party has been infiltrated by leftists and resemble democrats of old. The Democrats are full blown communists now. It is time for a new party of true conservatives.
Arrested 43 times or deported 5 times. Makes no difference... Still on our streets causing havoc! The system is broken.
Now, I understand first hand how the F.B.I. does not use the statistics sent in by the Dept.
. . . and you also understand who wants it that way
For the guy spouting off about Bono. The only thing you should be embarrassed about is admitting you went to a U2 concert. What, did you live in a vacuum the last 15 years?
Boycott Taste of Chicago...
I love these posts. Basically saying that the police department carries the blame for 70 or so shootings. If we had more coppers we could stop the violence. That is utter BULLSHIT. In the early 80's we had 13k coppers. 500, 600 murders a year. If we had 20k coppers it wouldnt matter. It's not our fault. VRI, cops in boxes, 12 hour shifts, narcotics in uniforms. The violence never stops. You cannot police your way out of this. Stop saying it's because we are short, which I KNOW we are. More coppers might make it easier to get a day off, but thats it.
===============
Someone who gets it.
More coppers not only makes it easier to get time due, it makes our jobs a lot safer. It makes our jobs a little easier. When It's busy, you feel how short we are. Our work load can be tremendous. You run from one high stress situation to another high stress situation. Even if it's a bullshit domestic, it's still a very dangerous high stress call.
I agree. When I said it would make it easier to take time off I was being a bit sarcastic. I understand what more officers would mean to the troops, but it will not do shit to stop the violence. It hasn't and won't. It is endemic.
If it wasn't for advances in medicine, specifically trauma treatment we'd still be at 600-700.
Isn't Jaye a girl's name?
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
