Values?

First, a bunch of numbers from the Tribune, numbers that ought to lead to a wholesale firing of brass at HQ:
  • The burst of violence follows two straight weekends when more than 50 people were shot in Chicago. That's the first time that has happened on back-to-back weekends over the four years the Tribune has been tracking shootings. In August, more than 40 were shot on four consecutive weekends.

    So far this year, at least 2,300 people have been shot in Chicago, about 400 more than during the same period last year, according to a Tribune analysis. Through Sunday, homicides have risen to 359, up 21 percent from 296 a year earlier, according to preliminary data from Chicago police.
Crime is down? Pardon our laughter - hahahaha.

A whole bunch of outlandish statements from Rahm:
  • Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Tuesday addressed the shooting in Back of the Yards, saying he was angry and “enough is enough.”
Really? Because you certainly aren't holding Garry's feet to the fire. And we have yet to see a single exempt member of the command staff demoted over out-of-control shootings.
  • As he often does, Emanuel railed against the poor values of gangbangers. “Wherever you live, you should be able to get out of your car and go to your home,” said Emanuel, who attended the opening of a renovated Red Line CTA station at Clark and Division streets.
Um, that doesn't sound like he's railing against shit. Railing against "poor values" would be something like, "Parents, raise your kids with a strong base in moral decency. Raise them in a two-parent household. Teach them right from wrong. A gang isn't a parent. Teach them the value of hard work and delayed gratification." But that doesn't play into the "Give me that now" culture so prevalent today.
  • The mayor then returned to his oft-repeated themes of making all Chicago neighborhoods equally safe and calling for tougher penalties for crimes involving guns.
Really? Because we seem to recall Prickwrinkle complaining about too many black/brown folks (and people) in jail. Dart has been closing down entire Divisions at Cook County because the judges aren't housing people any more. Anita is undercharging like she's attempting to win an election. And the Parole Board is bending over backward to release cop killers with the full support of aldercreatures and state reps.
  • “You can say this happened in the neighborhood of the Back of the Yards, but everybody (who) woke up this morning, or heard it last night, felt a pain of anguish, and it’s time that our criminal justice system and the laws as it relates to access to guns and the penalties for using 'em reflect the values of the people of the city of Chicago,” Emanuel said.
Actually, the actions of the lawless seem to exactly and completely reflect the "Chicago values" we see daily. Add in the entire criminal subculture of the City Council and outright corruption prevalent in the mayor's office, we'd say it's pretty darn accurate.

Sorry but look at the common denominator, who is shooting who? It is what it is. You can say what you want but until the savages are under control this will not stop. It will not stop because no one has the balls to say the savages are out of control. The vicious circle will continue and won't stop. We all are racists but the truth hurts.

This guy has no business being the mayor. Didn't the democrats give him a lesson on bullshitting before he came out here? I have to say that even Daley was a better liar, bullshitter than Rahm. Everything he says is a feeble attempt to act like he gives a shit but its 100% clear that all he cares about is his own political aspirations and taking care of the people that will get him where he wants to go, whether thats congress or governor or whatever. Rahm cares about the violence in this city about as much as he cares about what color your underwear is and its obvious. Even if you have in IQ of 12 you know Rahm is full of shit.

Did ya ever wonder if no longer arresting people(and folks) for weed has anything to do with the increase of shootings and especially the increase of robberies good areas?

I know, I know, it probably has no correlation because we only locked up the good people and non violent offenders who smoked weed anyways.

You asked for it, now you got it.

Look, the liberal narrative right now is that, brown and black people are incarcerated at higher rates than whites for the same crime. The reason I know this is my child that graduated from UW Madison and told me so. No matter what I tell her, she knows better. We're going to have to ease up and not incarcerate these blood thirsty monsters and all you brown and black future victims, you're going to just have to bleed until the liberals in charge hear you scream for your lives to do something. Giuliani squared away New York City in a few years, it was an unlivable shit hole and he got it back on track. Now, they have liberals in charge again, all you short memoried fools, and of course, it's becoming unlivable again.

"Chicago City Clerk Susana Mendoza, seen here on Aug. 19, 2015, wants to create special parking permits for real estate agents. (Jose M. Osorio / Chicago Tribune)"


County Clerk Susana Mendoza on Tuesday pushed a proposal to create special parking permits for real estate agents who want to be free to park all over Chicago without risking tickets, but she said she's not in favor of an idea being bandied about in the City Council to hike permit parking costs for residents.

Mendoza, who's running for state comptroller next year, also said she's not ready to support the idea of merging that office with the state treasurer's office.

Here is what your pandering politicians have brought you:
- less black and brown people in prisons and closing down whole sections of Cook County jail for political purposes
- States Attorneys that throw out, or won't even bring charges in cases you would go to jail for years in other counties for political purposes
- a decimated and under manned police force that USED to be feared by the bad guys, neutered for political purposes
- an upper structure in that Department that is filled with inept clowns that were over promoted for the political purpose of garnering support for the in the Black community

So in pandering to that community, you have doomed that community. But hey, a lot of politicians made a lot of money in the process. The people killed don't really matter.

It's way past time to clean house. Throw them all out on their ears. Start with this Democratic Mayor and his puppet mouthpiece Superintendent. Cut the Aldermen down to 17 (in keeping with standards the rest of the Country lives by) and save more money there too. This City has become a National disgrace.

more pissing in the wind about gun control as well. On another note my daughter had a track meet Saturday way on the southside in some large park to the West of the U of C. A brand new tinted windows Impala cut me off as I made my way from the highway through the hood to the park. I was following a caravan of mini vans to the meet and It felt like a safari, only instead of beautiful animals we saw derelict buildings and drug addicts wandering around. Didn't bother to honk at the Impala as lord knows what nest of shitbags was inside the car. This was at 8:30 AM. At night I would blow through every light and stop sign to get the f out of that wrong turn and we were on huge main roads.

I am a born and raised Chicago citizen. I lived through the worst criminal anarchy of the late 1980s, then notice with great surprise the clean up and take down of crime when Guiliani and the NYPD took back the streets. It can be done in Chicago and it must be done.

Now New York City has a Sandinista, pro Black criminal mayor with a fake Italian name married to a former Black lesbian Communist. The new Catholic in Name Pope seems to be almost as bad, it goes both ways.

I want to do so much more than just make comments here and on alternative right blogs, letters to the editor, call my alderman etc.

Are there any effective anti crime private groups you recommend?

Whatever happened to the Chicago Crime Commission? The 2012 Gang Book was excellent.

When McCarthy came to Chicago, he brought a bravado and insolence as if to imply we were hay seeds in fly-over country, and the "New Yauka" would show us how to do it. Yet, he has been talking out of both sides of his mouth. 1. Community Policing is back; Really? The Core of Community Policing is the premise, based upon a parochial study, (Kansas City) that increased police presence does not necessarily produce crime reduction. 2. One of the pillars of Community Policing is a "partnership" between the Community and Police. While touting this fable which has been embraced by municipal leaders, as a means of cutting costs, when in fact it has failed in several cities where it was used. In both of these points, McCarthy has failed and misled the public. We are approaching a $100,000,000.00 overtime budget, for the most part to put cops in high crime areas, and it is called the VRI program, or Violence Reduction Initiative. Unfortunately, it is failing miserably as reflected in the current homicide rate, which is set to exceed 2012, Rahm's worst year. Also note, the homicide rate is NOT an effective means of determining violence, since it only addresses deaths. Many of those shot,stabbed and beaten would have been dead were it not for the remarkable medical care that Chicago provides. To accurately measure violence, we need to concentrate on Aggravated Batteries and Simple Batteries, the actual acts of physical aggression. (Note: on occasions Cook County State's Attorneys have reduced Agg. Batteries to Simple, so even that figure is compromised. This is also why your life is worth more in DuPage County than Cook, because in Du Page County if someone attacks you with a bat it is an Agg. Battery. In Cook it will only be an Agg. Battery if you are on a respirator!) Sending cops into hot spots for overtime on their days off is not a concentrated and effective effort.McCarthy loves stats, so where are the stats on VRI? How many arrests, recovered guns and successful prosecutions have been generated by the One Hundred Million Dollars in overtime? That figure alone, should be enough to have McCarthy launched for Incompetence! We once had a concentrated effort when we had specific Units to focus on these issues, but McCarthy disbanded them and in the current anti-police environment they would probably be less effective. The Second point is the issue of a Partnership with the Community, and here again McCarthy has failed miserably. Going to a Black Church and saying that current problems in the Black Community are attributable to Slavery and the Gun Industry is avoidance of reality. Talk about the absence of fathers, dependence on government entitlements and a culture that glorifies violence and scorns non-violent conflict resolution; slavery ended more than 150 yrs. ago, and the "Slavery" issue is not relevant in the Latino Community which is also enduring obscene levels of violence. McCarthy Needs to Be history! (Ret.CPD Sgt. R.M. Aztlan)

A veritable clown-car of

Busy-ness!
Lots of elbows and assholes in motion.
Armies of propeller head m/fers
scurrying to and fro with accordion files full of "important" papers.

Fanatically loyal to Rahm.

Try catch one of these slippery, insidious motherfucks if you can.

Stand on their foot as you're shaking their hand

Snatch that file from him.
Those papers are probably nothing but paragraphs
of the alphabet in a mix of lower and upper case.

Keeping up the appearance of SOMETHING actually
being done in Chicago.

Doing "it" fast and doing "it" right now...
The meaning of "it" changes by the minute.

"Failure to walk the sales floor with a sense
of urgency."

What the fuck are you people selling?
>Pffft!<

The background noise under all the shooting, crying and screaming down
here in the bloody shit-mud at street level?

Nothing but a malignant Rumplestiltskin trying to vacuum up as
much of a working man taxpayer's hard earned treasure he
can before the jig is permanently up.

All this killing, dying, screaming and praying is just the distraction
He needs.

Rahm's legacy is looking bleak.
Bet you he's thinking about an
unmarked grave or perhaps a
50 cubic foot block of quartz
enriched concrete...

He'll be in his blue wool sweater
with a look of care, concern and contrition.

>Snicker!<
Just sayin'.

The so called guardians of the public trust are energetically
looking the wrong way on purpose.

The greedy Police are what's wrong with Chicago.
Rahm insists...

The exempts are scared to the point of shitting themselves
but they're hoping time and history will be kind to them as
they walk the backs off each other's shoes to please the
New Yuck carpetbaggers, appease a malignant manling
and pander to the catered to constituency to the point of
unmanliness embodied by the cowardly knee-walking
they're engaging in to "keep their spot."

All will be revealed when the music stops and they and their
political sponsors start kacking the shit out of each other
during the mad scramble to not be the sad, sore and sorry
m/fers left without a chair to sit in...

Meanwhile...
Beating on the Blue Shirts to "produce" is actually allowed
to pass as sound Policing strategy and an antidote to the
politically uncomfortable quandry Dude & Co. pose for
all the smart m/fers who are all too used to disdainfully
laughing down their dicks at the rest of everybody else,
especially the allegedly rebellious, blue-shirted churls.

Garry says they're not being motivated to produce "enough."

If I can suggest something in regards to your UW liberally educated daughter. The best teacher is usually life experience. If she has student loans, do not help her with them. Let her pay rent if she insists on living at home. Let her get a second job bartending or waitressing in order to make ends meet. Let her drive a raggedy car. When she defends the "downtrodden" who don't have jobs, point out to her that they have free food, free health care, free rent, free phones, free school and free time and that she has two jobs to pay for all those items and no free time. If that doesn't provide the appropriate wake up call then nothing will.

Then they put a default on your credit for $25 when Pookie runs up half a million dollars in bills and pays ZERO!!!! At least my insurance paid 90% which is 90% more then every gunshot, stabbing or ass-whooping victim pays.

Get those Gang Banging Morons with their low-riding pants (Values...hay, Rham..how about those Butt hanging out Values??)...put those morons to work...put them sweeping the ramps off expressways...they are filthy with the liter from those Criminals who toss shit out of cars...make those convicted Criminals work instead of having sex in jail and screaming about their rights even though they have taken rights of others by not obeying the law. This city needs to get tough on Crime...Oh You Hoo!! Where in the hell is Fardon?? Normal citizens are leaving daily plus the Catholic Archdiocese is closing more parishes...what does that say about our Values, uh Rahm??? Folks with values are leaving when possible. Running.

Street stops? Stop and frisk? Traffic stops? Just because they are gang members? Can't violate "civil rights" to keep people safe. Mix in a lack of community involvement, a lack of respect for police, the failure to co operate with and provide information to the police on crimes, and money hungry attorneys filing lawsuits at the drop of a hat, and VOILA! It's a bloodbath out there. And this is surprising....why?

Be safe out there blue!

All neighborhoods equally safe? True equality is achieved only when we are all in fear for our lives on the streets. You can't make all neighborhoods crime free but you can make all of Chicago like Detroit.

Sorry but look at the common denominator, who is shooting who? It is what it is. You can say what you want but until the savages are under control this will not stop. It will not stop because no one has the balls to say the savages are out of control. The vicious circle will continue and won't stop. We all are racists but the truth hurts.

Nothing is done because the escalation of deaths in important towards securing a repeal of the 2nd amendment. Black lives don't matter to the powers dat be except in their usefulness towards the goal of disarmament of the law abiding.

Going to a Black Church and saying that current problems in the Black Community are attributable to Slavery and the Gun Industry is avoidance of reality. Talk about the absence of fathers, dependence on government entitlements and a culture that glorifies violence and scorns non-violent conflict resolution; slavery ended more than 150 yrs. ago, and the "Slavery" issue is not relevant in the Latino Community which is also enduring obscene levels of violence. McCarthy Needs to Be history! (Ret.CPD Sgt. R.M. Aztlan)

Here, I have to agree with this writer. No one wants to talk about the real issues or deal with those issues. It is easier to blame the police or the gun industry. I was just in Tennessee where any resident can buy a handgun and ammo at a garage sale or flea market, and they do not have the violence that we have. I think there is something wrong with a portion of the population of this town, their behavior for starters, how they handle conflict resolution and their attitudes towards others. Poverty? Sure, that does not help, but the violence levels during the Great Depression when guns and explosives were readily available is not as great as it is now.

Yes, liberals like to tell the police what they cannot do, but they never tell the police what they should and can do to control crime. Why? They do not know the answer.And, if they do they are afraid to talk about it.

More uniforms, more detectives, lets charge people with serious charges, lets saturate the area and on and on.

Garry go to a roll calls and really ask what patrol needs. And don't come in like you are some kind of general in an unwinnable war. Have those goofy deputy's take notes and figure out how to make the ideas work. OR keep screwing up and RAHM will never be President Rahm at this rate.

This guy has no business being the mayor. Didn't the democrats give him a lesson on bullshitting before he came out here? I have to say that even Daley was a better liar, bullshitter than Rahm. Everything he says is a feeble attempt to act like he gives a shit but its 100% clear that all he cares about is his own political aspirations and taking care of the people that will get him where he wants to go, whether thats congress or governor or whatever. Rahm cares about the violence in this city about as much as he cares about what color your underwear is and its obvious. Even if you have in IQ of 12 you know Rahm is full of shit.

DEFINITELY OFF TOPIC - WGN just did a follow up on injured PO Densey Cole. He was moved out of his Oakbrook Terrace apartment and has relocated to Marion, IL due to an ongoing rent dispute. Report stated that the only entity helping PO Cole is the Police Memorial Foundation.
When Ch 9 tried to reach Finance Chairman/Extreme Aldercreature Burke they were told that the Chairman "was out of the country." Hey "Call Me Chairman" Burke, instead of surfing your I-Foam at the last Council meeting, you could have at least checked on a disabled PO who was promised to be taken care of when has accident was front page news.
Ch. 9 also tried to reach Professor Deano. The FOP stated that they will be looking into the manner. About time you to help a real disabled PO, Dr./Prof Deano!
You see all these "figures" demanding to be called by specific titles or not to use their first name. Why don't they worry about doing their job or keeping their promise to a "brother Officer"??
To Mrs. Cole and Densey, please let us know if we [SCC readers] can help.

To fire the incompetant Supt. Rahm would have to admit he made a mistake hiring him in the first place. That won't happen.

And other than the innocent kids and occasional innocent adult, let's face it, most of the killings are civic improvment.

What does that mean?
Certain laws and penalties for certain people, like the "if you do the crime, there will be 'normalized' in sentencing to equalize or level the playing field?
We seen how his tax plan (law) is going to reflect the values of the people.
It's Rahms city, yet he has to seek permission from caucuses to enforce and execute the laws of the land.
Typical coward Democrat.

Gold stars way to "top heavy" Let's hope the pension board "We can hear you now" stops the total raping of the pension fund by these so called "gold star club" members! Civil service rank pension ladies and gentlemen, highest rank we have is lieutenant! Maybe Mike Lappe who is doing a great job getting all the "fakers" off disability,yes he is doing alot on his own following :fakers" many have other careers and moved on! some are even being charged, and made to payback all the ill gotten pension money! A little secret how about that "doctor" in Joliet area that many of the "disability" all see and now is caught up as it is easy to get disability from him! Heard he is being looked into, why would honest coppers if needing disability all go to same doctor miles from home? scandalous story is waiting to break! To the Lappe haters watch and see, how many are recruits trying to get disability? More to come!

If your legit hurt OTJ, you deserve full disability if your scamming you get whats coming to you like a freight train full speed ahead!

Seems like Gary is trying to pass the buck to the courts, surely they have a problem in Cook County, but try and figure out a way to bring mass amounts of coppers back into these fucked up areas, and not by Special Employment. But who wants to go into newly created units when everytime coppers went into TRU or MSF, they got fucked , so who can trust Garry, also we need a new 1st deputy, Big Al stands there like a statute like he really has a handle on things, we all know why he is there as the number 2 guy, buy surely we have another black boss to jump int that spot, or maybe not. Either way I'm so happy I'm gone,retired from this job, I say my prayers everyday and night that all you guys and girls get home safely ,because our command staff is failing every day.
