Oh Garry
- After a relatively quiet start to the Fourth of July weekend in Chicago, a burst of gun violence overnight left three dead and 27 people wounded in just eight hours, including a 7-year-old boy killed after returning from a celebration.
"It's crazy," said Vedia Hailey, the grandmother of the boy, Amari Brown. "Who would shoot a 7-year-old in the chest? who would do that to a baby? When is it going to stop?"
Um....gangbangers? Shooting at another gangbanger? Who had tattoos all over his face, including a five-poited star dead center of his forehead and another of a smoking hand-rolled joint? Who had his son out after midnight on what is historically a rather bloody night? We're just pointing out the obvious here.
Thirty shot with everyone on 12-hour shifts and no reserves on hand. We're going to call this weekend a fail as Chicago closes in on 50 shot.

see this link to see why America is the greatest nation, as told by an Australian. If only, if only!!!
Amari Brown's father is hardhead 4CH with a 22-page arrest record...
Working twelve hours means working too long, but Rahm and Gary, no they couldn't be wrong! So while I'm sitting in my box I'm writing this song. Rahm and Gary can go suck a ..., what rhymes with long?
Maybe you didn't read the article but Gary placed the blame on the dad. Could this be his end like when Maurer blamed the gangbangers for having a shorty out late and him getting shot?
Not a cop- may be A fail, but nothing more could really be done, could it? After even following the Garry Bashing on this site it seems he and you guys (meaning police in general) threw everything out there and the weekend was still a disaster. At this point it seems only gentrification can save chicago, not more police imo.
I'd also like to give an opinion on Garry's response to on the 7 yr old who was shot. It doesn't seem wise to -- by definition -- blame the victim for this shooting. At least not in today's climate of police being the villain. Social media has really fired back on his comments. Reading the news articles, it seems Amari Brown wasn't exactly standing with his father, and someone in the crowd also might have shot back at the child killer, which could mean maybe that person was an intended target, or the crowd itself was the intended target(?). The fact is, Amari Brown's father could possibly be "the reason" his son was killed, or possibly some other guy in the crowd (and of course the killer), but the comments just didn't seem wise. The Calls for his termination or resignation that have surfaced recently will probably only get louder and citizens claiming police are insensitive will probably only continue.
Bye Gary. You have been a complete failure here in Chicago. Time to cut our loses and start from scratch.
30 shot, three dead. The reason for the low death rate must be because it is difficult to shoot accurately at night time, in the dark.
How many of those shot were acts of Islamic terror? Wasn't this past holiday weekend supposed to be when ISIS hit and hit hard?
No Police shot or Police involved shootings...
(Thank God)
Were any of the shootings domestics? Robberies?
Do the demographics say anything? It says that legal gun ownership and legal concealed carry among an educated and employed population keeps violence down.
GUNS are not the problem.
Yes, it's just too bad they have such poor aim, the gutless punks. But I do feel bad for the child. He didn't do anything, just happened to be born to scum bags. And he is the one punished. Of course you won't hear anyone in the black community addressing the core problems, that never happens. So it just continues into infinity.
Par for the course, the drug addled thug hit everyone BUT who he was aiming at.
Daddy must be So Proud of His Life's Accomplishments!
I was hoping that more Chicago Cops on the streets would have made things safer.
Chicago slaughter top story on CNN --

Lookin' good, Rahm. Lookin' good.
Same s__t as last summer...and the one before that...
Thanks, Toni, for expanded morgue space and electric body lifts. Needed -- one 79-cent rubber wedge to hold the back service door open; why close it on nights like these? Busy, busy, busy.
Christ Hospital got 35 through the ER last night; like something in the Middle East. Is this "sustainable?" Oak Lawn was not founded to be everyone's battlefield hospital and a__ wiper. They gotta be getting sick of Chicago's endless shot-up debris.
Screw the Obama Library. Spend the money on a Hadiya Pendleton Drug Rehab And Gunshot Trauma Center, and put in a landing field that can take Chinooks, mass casualty setup. Hell, grab more park land for mass graves -- long trenches, head-to-foot, in layers. You got another civil war, a "slow-motion race riot," rollin every night.

Lovely summer night, air so soft and pleasant, so quiet -- anywhere a__holes don't live...it's about 1937 in my place right now. Thank God.
So much work to live, yet so little effort to live decently. Come home, lock the door, MYOB, keep the music down...shovel your neighbor's walk in the winter if you can & if they deserve it.
Peace, all. I don't mean the finger sign (careful with those), I mean the real thing. Try it sometime.
Wishful thinking when the men with filed teeth are prying at your window, waving skulls on sticks...
Si vis pacem, para bellum.
eh, I was watching Outer Limits on youtube while that was going down--- whos the paper car on that anyways, cause I lowered the volume on my radio
And the liberals will say this kids death is the result of lax gun laws. We need tougher gun laws.
I enjoyed the OT though.
There is no way Garry is keeping his job.
Antonio brown has a old white sox logo on his right cheek. I shit you not, I stopped the news clip and confirmed.
Guess you're getting the liberal city you want! Ridiculous, but when you glorify thugs by giving them huge taxpayer payouts this is what you have to live with! Like when the 50 paid over 5 million to the gathered thugs for the fake not proven john burge charges in the council chambers then the alderman turned and applauded them, nice but then again it's "our money!"
It's actually embarrassing now. I'm on vacation in Naples Florida and Chicago is nation headlines with the amount of people shot over the weekend. And I don't want to hear it's not McCarthy's fault. That's BS! At the end of the day he's in charge of the department and should be held accountable. And he gets paid big bucks to run the department. Since day one he came in with a know it all attitude and has been in way over his head. Final line is, the strategies he implemented are not working and are miserable failures. Time for a change in the top cop position in Chicago.
So Gary said in the papers today it's not about having more police on the streets. He increased manpower by 30% and we still had shootings. Ok then, there should be no restrictions on time due.
I would like to know how Mayor Rahm and the police hierarchy are not being run out of town for this continued level of violence that is world renowned. How are they so insulated from the national rage of the black community as well as liberal media who is always so quick to criticize how the police operate everyday? The inference here is that the continued body count should be "expected" and the usual explanations and reasons for this carnage is not cutting it anymore.
Ever see the movie Minority Report, time to start blaming white cops from the future.
as that 025 gallows editor once wrote "there aint no pity in donkey city"

Rahm has already started spouting that b.s. today. As if the law can physically jump off a page and handcuff a criminal, or sentence him, or keep him in prison.
Tougher gun laws? How about keeping the criminals IN JAIL? Does anyone really believe CRIMINALS (i.e. people who commit crimes in violation of laws) give a damn if the gun laws are made 'tougher'?
Also - south shore park. Dude runs over another dude after an arguement.
Mary Mitchell says if cops where in every park this wouldn't have happened. Cops in every park Mary ? Simply blame police - rather than tackle real issue - young black men who can't even act human in a public park.
• Rahm cares about the kids.
• Amari's momma said Amari had plans (at 7yoa) to be somebody.
• Antonio don't kno' nuttin.
All bull.
Rahm still won't name names, blames "the system". He can't take charge and correct the problem. He's a coward, worried about who going to stifle his future. Any politician care to challenge Preckwinkle's "County Jail Brown Count"? Gmac is powerless, seems he's speaking out and that's usually an indication his tour is just about over. The media sure hushed up about the Hadyia Pendelton Park murder.
What's the next national news incident, maybe just general Oak St. beach or Michigan Ave stuff.
Yes, it's just too bad they have such poor aim, the gutless punks. But I do feel bad for the child. He didn't do anything, just happened to be born to scum bags. And he is the one punished.

Problems and the reasons for those problems both need to be addressed, and you won't hear anyone willing to admit that part of the reason these problems persists is in no part the blame of the black community. Only partly though. I'm not black (or a democrat LOL) but quite frankly, 100 years of oppression (yup, I used that word) can't seriously be expected to spring blacks forward after only 50 years of "non-oppression". But even then, you can look back to decade after decade since the year 1870 to about the 1990s and see how certain laws and government interference in the guise of monetary assistance has continued to ruin these communities. The way in which funding for schools are divvied up amongst a populace (rich/poor) or how cuts to programs that help put a cap on violence, gang joining, and preparation for life outside of these communities (such as entering the job market or attending college) is also a problem. Mothers being rewarded for basically deciding to become single parents and the power they are awarded in custody courts stripping fatherly duties away from a father for a weekly/monthly check in return also needs to be addressed.
While I am not a fan of gun ban talk, gun laws in this day and age may be due for a reform in a sort and the penalty for breaking these laws need to be very conservative. Since I do see my self as "pro guns", I won't delve in to this discussion deeply. But, It also needs to be said that black gangs nor the black community manufacture firearms, so getting them shouldn't be as easy as it is for anyone. Black white, Asian, etc. Black gangs nor the black communityv bring drugs in to the U.S. Either, so That's also a problem you can't just dump on blacks. America has a drug addiction problem, and the overwhelming majority of addicts aren't black. Other races are participating in the destruction of black communities just as much as the blacks who "you won't hear addressing" a said problem.
The black community needs to address its problem with shunning away education(graduating from HS should not be your biggest accomplimish by the time of your death), celebrating teenage pregnancy, welfare dependency after said pregnancy and not understanding the privilege & power of ownership (would you believe that these problems I mentioned were a result of of a discussion on a hip hop forum? Honestly). Everything I mentioned is actually on a downward pace which means things are moving foward, statistically. More blacks are graduating college, teen pregnancy is down (amongst all Americans) welfare dependency (I have to look in to the statistics on that, but knowing that almost half of Americans need some type of government assistance, it probably hasn't dipped like it should), more blacks are business and home owners (black women If I'm not mistaken are the fastest rising business owners amongst minorities second behind mexicans).
There are still problems, obviously, and if there will ever be "a talk" then it just needs to happen. Both sides have to be willing to understand and admit that there is a cause and effect for everything as well as there are choices one decides to make in this day and age. Those causes and effects as well as choices are made sometimes from a person who is disadvantaged, but being at a disadvantage can't excuse accountability anymore.
Responsibility. Put it back in the hood, take everything away and see how fast crime goes down. No public aid, make them work, make them pay for everything like we do. If they don't like it, have them go somewhere where they will give it to them except here.

Having the department on extended hours with everyone working mandatory OT is not quite throwing it all out there. It's hot, people can't see their families and the public is looking to get you in trouble for anything they can. I worked 13 hours in the burbs on one day, no major incidents at all and I was done. I spent the next day in bed, almost all day. You have no idea how draining it is to work on the street and ride in a beat car, especially in a busy area. No, more police won't save Chicago but maybe you can get a reasonable response time to your house if you're the victim of a burglary...or someone cracks you over the head and has left the scene.
By the way...the victim, as in the child who was killed, was never blamed. That kid was visiting his father. Fact. He was outside at 11:55 P.M. when he should have been in bed. Fact. His father is a gang member. Fact. If you don't know what usually happens to gang members caught outside during late night hours...it would explain why you think the public should hear another message about who is at fault for Amari Brown's murder. His dad is out on bond for getting caught with a gun a couple months ago...but it's so unfair he is getting blamed for either getting shot at or hanging with people that get shot at, and his son getting hit instead. How many times have your kids been in danger because someone was targeting you Mr. Citizen?
to Not a Cop at 1:41am
I support McCarthy's comments. I am a polite, respectful cop to all those that deserve it, white, black, brown, yellow, purple, blue, orange, pink, it doesn't matter. I allow people to vent their frustrations to a great extent as long as theirs or my safety is not at risk. I am like 99.99% of my brothers and sisters in blue 99.99% of the time. It is tragic that the little boy is dead. His father did not murder him, but his "lifestyle" did. Those who live by the sword die by the sword. Bystanders get killed all the time, young and old. His father was arrested carrying a gun only three months ago. His father has 45 arrests and does not look to be more than 25 years old. His father was not carrying a gun for self defense. You can bet your bottom dollar that his father has shot at, shot or killed other human beings and not cared whose son or daughter he hit. Let me repeat, his lifestyle contributed to the death of his little boy. You argue that perhaps it was one of his associates that was targeted. You think the shooter was targeting one person in a group of rival gang bangers? Everyone in that group was a target. And you are relying on the media to report who the intended target was and whether shots were fired back?
The bottom line is the social media and the media are going to attack us because that is what they have been doing non-stop for nearly a decade now. McCarthy is right, this man should not be out on bond and should not be engaged in his "lifestyle", should not be having children much less be around them and IS NOT COOPERATING WITH DETECTIVES IN THE INVESTIGATION OF HIS OWN SON'S MURDER. We, the thin blue line, have bent far enough in the attacks against our profession. The truth hurts and guess what we aren't winning any popularity contests anyway. If we continue to hamstring the police, insist the rights of the one are more important than the rights of the 300 million we will slide into chaos and then into martial law.
I for one have had enough. So, here's a short list of those opinions I don't care about: the social media, the media, the bottom feeder lawyers, the uber-liberal politicians, the "father" that won't become a man for once in his life and aid in the apprehension of his son's killers and if you still think you're the Monday Morning Superintendent, you're on the list too.
Lamestream media was interviewing Anthony Brown who was upset that Rahmulus & Mc Streetlight would criticize his parenting skills. The clown could not even complete a sentence w/o reporters filling in the blanks. Why even broadcast this trash?
From a retired County Guy...
CPD, I believe McCarthy would have been more than welcome at the County Police as opposed to, especially the brass currently in place and previously going all the way back to the 60's.
The downward spiral just continues. It's out of control with this current Sheriff and County Board President.
All you retired CPD bosses-the Chief of Police position still remains unfilled so if you still got the whack that got you advanced to Lt or above-use it!
