Trendy Crime
- A man was fatally shot in the Wicker Park neighborhood Wednesday night and two others have been wounded in shootings since Wednesday morning.
The most recent shooting, in the 1200 block of North Milwaukee Avenue, left a man wounded about 6:35 p.m.
The 19-year-old man was later pronounced dead at Stroger Hospital, said [...], a police spokeswoman.
What could possibly be the reason?
Someone has discovered a clue a few Districts over from this shooting. It's a blog run by some people who pay very close attention to things like staffing/manpower numbers:
Someone has discovered a clue a few Districts over from this shooting. It's a blog run by some people who pay very close attention to things like staffing/manpower numbers:
- Newly-acquired Chicago Police Department staffing reports show that manpower in the 19th district dropped to its lowest level ever last month, with only 331 cops working the streets here. The same area was served by 468 officers just four years ago.
The continuing atrophy of police resources in the sprawling district comes despite assurances from local aldermen that the 19th district would get more cops in exchange for their votes in favor of Chicago’s record-breaking property tax hike last fall.
After casting his vote for the $589 million tax increase last October, local alderman Tom Tunney said, "I have been assured that 35 additional police officers will be assigned to the 19th District in 2016, including 25 in the first quarter and another ten during the rest of the year."
They keep track of crime, too:
- Overall crime is up 22% so far this year, with robberies, burglaries, and criminal damage to property reports all soaring 100% or more, according to city data.
So, aldercreatures lied?
- To the surprise of few, it’s looking very much like we’ve been sold a $589 million bill of goods.
That would be a "yes.".

Wait what about the 2 billion in cash THE READER says Rahm is hoarding in TIFS that jagoff is tyrying to spend on his rocket train to Ohare, the same train and line, line of bullshit, that former mayor mumbles has already spent over 600 million Tif dollars on at his block 47 project. Pay you debts dont spend anymore thief. WAKE UP Chicago its about time to walk out on him NO PENSION NO PEACE
Can you break down the description of the Offenders,I need to know what kind of people are committing these Crimes,How do I protect myself.
Hahahahahahaha
Numbers don't mean much if everyone is fetal. 100 fetals , or 75 fetals, they all get about the same amount of work done.
Since the merger between 012 and 013 manpower is significantly down. We have only 308 officers assigned in 012 to cover what is two districts. Then they wonder why crime is up in the district.
No. The aldermen didn't lie. They were lied to by Rahm. Come on SCC, even a blind guy could see that.
been several shootings at that corner over the past few months. A lot of shit head clubs at milwaukee/division, namley The Evil Olive that are causing trouble.
Just wait until they discover the easy pickings up north.
HEY! To ALL the citizens of Chicago, especially the "Trendy" ones.
If you live in Chicago, you better carry a gun.
Get your training and CCW license. Know how and when to use it.
Problem solved.
A lying politician....that never happens here. Next, you'll be saying six Lt.'s only spend two days in the districts before going back to their units or HQ...oh, wait...
Ha

all of a sudden west humboldt par/humboldt park becomes " wicker park " ??? this something new? it was in the 1200 block of milwaukee.... wicker park??? really?
oh yeah and i have a hint as to why.............. the 12th district commanders 06 and tact teams were long gone because they work p.t...... thats why !!!!!

would that assurance have been made by a small guy with raccoon looking eyes? well here's a clue dude, he'll say anything to get that vote in his favor. sort of like " the mayor just assured me he has my back".... except your sorry ass can't be fired you're a thief of an aldercreature like the rest of the thieves up on the council floor....... I assure you that !!!!!
You mean those Chicago politicians you vote for again and again lied to you....again! Wow. Chicago voters are smart.
If you hear a dull roar at 6:00 A.M. every morning , like a thousand moving vans stating up, well that's exactly what it is.
Well said. No more containment of crime.
No, manpower is up. We just got to increase the size of all those inside units. It's those inside that monitor what goes on.
Hahahahahahaha. You get what you vote for, taxpayers, so enjoy it..... and arm yourselves.
Time for the yuppies to move out.
019 needs officers and supervisors . Way understaffed!
Same story in 012/013. It's worse for the people that have to live there with less police driving around, and longer response times.
The north end (all of old 013) probably never sees a police car, unless there's one parked at a certain hospital on Division st. Otherwise when a 10 sector car gets a paper job, they have to drive all the way to 14th and Racine to the new station to finish the report (and rightly so; too many reports get lost trying to finish them on squad car PDTs, then all that work and time is wasted and you have to start over on a station computer anyway). At some point during any given tour, there may be one marked car patrolling all of north 012/old 013.
More with less may work when it comes to maximizing corporate profits for investors to see on quarterly reports, make fewer workers work harder so middle mgmt and up can continue making big bucks. I get that.
But for public safety, or national security for that matter, more with less is sure to lead to disaster and unnecessary death. Not to mention failing to meet basic objectives.
Imagine if the U.S.A. tried to fight WWII trying to do more with less, instead of outproducing the rest of the world's combined production like we did. We would still be fighting the Germans and Japanese.
Besides, officers here have not bought into more with less. Not when there's so much fuckery going on around them. Management moves, cushy inside spots with early ducks, undeserved ill-gotten promotions, bosses working half tours covering for each other, two-tiered discipline, multiple redundant teams, etc., etc.
And you're going to have the nerve to ask officers who have been buried on a watch their whole careers that they're now going to have to work harder with no back-up? You can imagine why the rank and file is less than enthusiastic. And we're not even getting into the whole ACLU/DOJ/new Public Safety Act shit show.
Right now, officers city wide are saying, "no thanks, we're good." What's the old saying, work smarter not harder.
012/013 and 019/023 are too densely-populated for a straight on merge. Maybe a partition of a district's territory would've worked better, such as what happened to 022. But this? With the new host stations located where they are, never having been intended to house two districts, is ill-conceived at best with probably a small dose of malice thrown in ("those are quiet districts, those coppers are lucky they're not working the south side, fuck 'em").
Good news is, if the dept ever decides to un-fuck itself, old 019 can easily be reactivated, as can old 013, which is now in use by the County.
It's the same all over the city. Merged detective Areas, bad idea. More with less detectives, that's not ever going to work. Less than 200 officers currently working the entire 016 district? I'd say that's running things on a dangerously threadbare shoe string. That district is one critical incident away from a total disaster shutdown at any time.
Brilliant decision makers, none of this affects them so they couldn't care less. They just continue to watch this carnival skate by on the skin of our balls, hoping nothing too bad happens to expose how undermanned we are. They've gotten away with it so far...
This is just what I hear in the hallways, anyway.
That is what PAR forms are for. Welcime to the party Pal! Utopia is only in heaven. On earth misery wants company LMAO.
Yes the Wrigleyville shitshow continues, leave your wallet and iPhone at home or someone will take them from you by force. Its all outlined in that nice little blog. You can see the shitheads getting off the train at Belmont or Addison at night, no rocket science here.
Every (so called) "slow district" (including the merged districts) is down a minimum of 30% of manpower from just after 9/11.
The highest taxed homeowners are the ones least served IN ALL city services
Maybe a movie needs to be made regarding the understaffing of the district and the current climate and attitude of the Chicago Police Department.
It could be named,...........drum roll..........."The Invisible Blue Line."
And for those who have not seen the movie ducumentary, "The Thin Blue LIne", I highly recommend seeing the film. It's on Youtube in it's entirety.
Continue to stay fetal except for the truly deserving.
And the other reason AlderCreature Tunney doesn't care is that he's too busy keeping the PrideParade in a neighborhood that can't handle all the traffic congestion & the residents are fed up with the collateral crime that follows the "blessed event."
"...manpower in the 19th district dropped to its lowest level ever last month, with only 331 cops working the streets here. The same area was served by 468 officers just four years ago."
Now --
* Kick off a media frenzy reaching all the way to the front page of the New Yorker about "A Department In Crisis"
* Allow "activists" demanding the "defunding" and "demilitarization" of the police to punch officers in the head with impunity because that's "for the good of the city"
* Toss out the normal procedure of law, and begin "Trial By Facebook," concluded within minutes by the over-and-over broadcast of selected portions of videotape
* Strap cameras to everything and everybody
* Imply very strongly that "less-than-lethal" weapons of questionable effectiveness (may do nothing, or may kill the offender) be used by preference regardless of the actual situation
* Hamstring officers with tremendous paperwork from a non-governmental organization whose stated goal is to end the street stop -- the very foundation of day-to-day policing
* Withal, create a very real perception that any misstep -- or any correct step -- may lead to the destruction of officers' careers, the loss of everything they have worked for, perhaps even a prison term
* Make officers constantly worry about the security of their pensions and benefits
* Now, act stunned and outraged at a spiraling homicide rate and an increase in other serious crime.
A real formula for success, huh?

One of the most intelligent, well thought-out posts I've ever seen on scc. Keep listening in the hallways, and please keep writing about it.
Correction to that old windbag Monroe Ghost or whatever: 021 was torn apart, not 022.
Carry on.
Don't know what happened but wow Mary mitchell you finally are getting it so proud of you girl! Look at this officers face! Slashed terribly but by the grace of almighty God he will survive! 22 years old, now his whole life this incident will remind him of the savagedy of a weapon a knife in the hand of a thug, that could of taken his life or the life of another innocent! The story says this officer could not reach his weapon, but still protected others, the thin blue line responded forcefully and quickly knowing 1 of our own was down!
http://chicago.suntimes.com/columnists/auto-pound-security-guard-attacked/
Recently this same newspaper went after officer Jason Van Dyke, along with the mayor, the 50 sheep, the states attorney, all the thug black revs, the black lies movement, the feds also! Guess Jason should have all charges dropped, the thug that Jason was forced to shoot had a knife, but in the eyes of the liberal anti-police public better to have a copper or innocent disfigured or murdered, than have a thug that committed felonies stopped before he killed! It is no wonder taxpaying citizens with common sense are backing Donald Trump the only pro-police candidate in droves! We have to turn this nonsense around now, we are tired of the scum thugs getting away with so many killings, shootings mayhem!
How about stepping up john Mr. six and your given not earned gold star mickey mouse club speaking out about this, and also Aldo brown, Mayor,deano, bueller?
Higher taxes for less police protection. That's called a bad deal. And bad deals drive away the customers. Could they drive them all the way to Wisconsin ? The city might find out....
News radio reporting "a fire in the city's Elmwood Park neighborhood."
If anything earns a resounding "F__k you, you ignorant bastards," that's it.
to 03/10/2016 5:02 hey dickhead stooge, 1200 block of N. Milwaukee is 014th District and I hate to burst the bubble you live in, but its also Wickerpark...you probably aren't the Police and/or you have less than 5 years on and are still wet behind the ears and worked at Target before you came on. Go back to playing your league of legends. You are definitely not Tact material.
...and Riis Park "is in the Belmont/Central neighborhood."
BBM is hittin 'em tonight...

I think the news media get the neighborhood names from google maps, which actually does show Milwaukee/Division as being in what it says is Wicker Park. According to the map, Western Avenue seems to be the dividing line between Wicker Park and Humboldt Park.
But it really doesn't matter anyway, since the whole fucking city is a shithole.
Numbers don't mean much if everyone is fetal. 100 fetals , or 75 fetals, they all get about the same amount of work done
Well put. I hear people say this frequently, and its quite naive. Police in a defensive position aren't going to stop anything.
FYI:
Theft, Burglary and Robberies will no longer be counted as crimes. They will be noted as a "Redistribution of Wealth".
Remember to vote!
So the new Administration in Washington can redistribute YOUR money too!
