More Police! More Police!
Remember, there are "thousands" more working this weekend. Which to us, merely means that the Department has been deploying them wrongly the past few years:
- Chicago Police will increase their presence on Lake Shore Drive for the remainder of the holiday weekend after two deadly incidents on the North Side within 24 hours, First Deputy Supt. John Escalante said Sunday morning.
Chicago Police districts along the Drive will add patrols and officers in the area over the next couple of days, police spokesman [...] told the Sun-Times.
This after the killing of a 15-year-old girl (out with her 28-year-old gangbanger boyfriend) and a 32-year-old woman run over by a car while she was fleeing a robbery.
And then, the west side decided to act up in dramatic fashion:
And then, the west side decided to act up in dramatic fashion:
- A string of nearly two dozen shootings on the West Side has pushed the number of people shot during the Memorial Day weekend to at least 40, with two more days to go.
As of early Sunday morning, the toll stood at four dead and 36 wounded across the city, including a 15-year-girl shot to death as she rode in a Jeep on Lake Shore Drive near Fullerton Avenue, police said. Last year, 12 people were killed and 44 people were wounded over the holiday weekend.
Nineteen of those shot this weekend were wounded in or within a half-mile of the Harrison District on the West Side, police said. The district, one of the city's most violent, is average-sized but has more officers assigned to it than almost any other in the city. It is frequently the target of both prolonged drug operations and short-term extra patrols over holiday weekends.
Thirteen of the 19 were wounded in the Harrison District and an additional six nearby.
So it looks like we were low in setting the over/under, unless there's a miracle tomorrow. We'll have to adjust it for the Fourth of July weekend - another 3-day extravaganza.

The woman-fleeing-the-robbery story is "inconsistent" at this time, so maybe we can put this one on hold until it gets straightened out.
Deploy Rahm's Rangers to the Harrison District. They will cool things down, in a nice way. This is the sort of challenge they were trained and equipped for.
Seems like murders are down this weekend.
Can't wait till they open up Area not-so North (but mostly West) where they'll start dumping detectives citywide like they did when the JISC opened. The union allowed the first round because it was a "New" unit and seniority didn't matter.
Did we get through Sunday with no one kilt? The Revrunds would be sooo proud!
Unless of course one of those ungrateful seventeen bums that got shot decide to die on us later?
Things are slowing down! See, you just got to give these people enough space to destroy. That worked so well in Baltimore!

Was reading about the shootings and saw this:
"Among those killed was Garvin Whitmore, 27, who was shot in the head while sitting in a car with a woman around 5:20 p.m. Saturday in the Fuller Park neighborhood on the South Side. Someone walked up to the car as it sat parked in the 200 block of West Root Street and fired, police said.
The woman in the car, Ashley Harrison, 26, picked up a gun and returned fire as the gunman ran away, police said. No was else was injured.
Harrison was charged with aggravated unlawful use of a weapon and reckless discharge of a weapon, both felonies, after surveillance video showed her firing the gun several times and then throwing it to the ground, police said."

& I got confused. Sure, the gun was(more than likely) illegal, but wouldn't this still be self defense?
Don't count Chicago out yet. We still have time to break a record here!
Stay fatal.
Not a cop but in NYC over the same time span, one death and 15 wounded. They have 3 times the population. WTF
Don't feel bad SCC.
I came up with 8 killed and 48 wounded myself and I now realize that I was selling our thugs and criminal element short.
I guess Chalkie's still got it.
So...weather being Weather. HOW many GSW victs at GAELIC Park Festival..granted in the
suburbs???
Off on the over / under ... Don't feel bad SCC it Not due to lack of effort by the cities felons ... 48 shot and injured
It's obvious that Edie and crew don't know what they r doing
About theses shootings, they don't have a clue
I noticed John wasn't wearing his camera during his tv interview. Where was your camera sir? Where was it?

Not the Second City in everything my man. Number one in corruption too. Neck and neck with the Mayor being an asshole so let's call that one a draw.
The month of May as whole made up good any shortcomings and then some
Did CPD fudge the numbers for Memorial Day Weekend 2015 in an effort to marginalize any outcome this year or are the numbers at Heyjackass way off for last year? Did CPD say 12 dead last year? And hell, I just heard channel 7 say there were 14 killed last year according CPD. The numbers just ain't jivin'.
Praise The Lord and pass the amunition....the leftwing is on our side. No matter what these west side death cultist do, no one will ever call them out on in. There's has to be some high up people making tons of cash of the west side drugs profits.
This after the killing of a 15-year-old girl (out with her 28-year-old gangbanger boyfriend)
May I ask how did the parents allow her to have a 28 year old boyfriend?
I did notice an increased traffic presence on LSD overnight. That was good to see.
Keep the line moving.
While everyone is working OT this weekend , that fat useless know it all Georgass denied extra manpower for the marine unit on one of the busiest days of the year for boating on Lake Michigan . The marine unit had basically a single crew covering the whole lake and river system in the Chicago area. Stupid move to try and embarrass Lt. Schloss who is a disgrace regardless . Pull up your fat man pants and get your head out of your ass before more boaters go missing or people get hurt !
So someone is chased while a gun is pointed at them and dies by being hit by another car?
That is a car accident? Some white shirt still thinking of hiding homicides will get them merit lieutenant spot.
Look up forcible felony then look up in death while felony is taking place.
But yea car accident is just fine 19p.
Please, officers just classify the crap cases correctly your supervisor will blame you if it goes sideways in the media. (and put some effort in the narrative it may save your career.)
Even when there was a Summer Mobile, it would only last until about 01:00 hrs.! The Reality is that we have one of the most, if not the most beautiful lakefronts in the entire nation. UNFORTUNATELY, AFTER MIDNIGHT, THE ROCKS AND "CLOSED" BEACHES ARE TAKEN OVER BY BANDS OF ROVING YOUNG "CANADIANS", SMOKING DOPE AND LOOKING FOR TROUBLE. IT HAS BEEN THAT WAY FOR AT LEAST THE LAST TEN YEARS. The 018th and 019th Districts are tied down dealing with their night club scenes and other general service calls. HERE IS THE REALITY THAT NOBODY WANTS TO TELL THE TOURISTS OR LOVE BIRDS GOING FOR A MIDNIGHT STROLL: THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO POLICE ASSIGNED TO PATROL THE PARK OR LAKEFRONT AFTER MIDNIGHT!!! THE PARKS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE CLOSED. When CTA VSEP worked out of Peshtigo Ct.,after work I would ride my bike North to go home through the park, and it was amazing. From Grand to about Belmont, it was a contact high from the weed being smoked everywhere around you. Then as you got further North you would see Gay Chicago, getting it on in the park. My most memorable one was a guy bent over the back of a bench, voluntarily being sodomized by two other guys. No Cops Anywhere. That was then 16 yrs. ago; now it is worse! Stay Fetal, Stay Fetal; Chicago Values Baby"G"
There is a contract for a reason just think how it would be if we did not have one. Stop crying or go back to patrol.
15 yr old girl and a 28yr old man. Hmmmm. As far as the 32yr old woman and her boyfriend getting run down crossing LSD. My guess is they were trying to get away from a crime THEY committed. Possible Pickpockets. If you run them they most likely have some kind of theft backgrounds.
WOW poor mother and all her tears over baby daughter being shot & killed. Let's start the she is 15 yrs old, out at 1:30am, in a car with a 28yr old boyfriend. He is probably just a friend driving her home from a study lesson for a school project!!! How about after the funeral Mom gets arrested for child neglect.
I never left my box. Don't blame me! Pull my finger...
15 year old girl out in the middle of the night with a man who could have been the sperm provider to her mother, and the cops are the problem?
Try parenting your kids
In some areas of the city, mainly "the community", you could put a cop on every corner and the beast is still going to rear its ugly head.

Great city to be stuck raising a family in huh? WTF is right. Imagine if this 'great city to live in' didn't have winter or cool weather? My God. The media would would be in overdrive spinning the narrative onto the police. Compton L.A. Has nice weather year round and we knock their socks off. Oh but don't worry, all the liberal democrat voting suburbanites are about to get a nice big taste of it in the coming years with Obamas HUD. Enjoy it mush brains.
Rahm told his security detail to start making your calls to get into a unit, as I am leaving in August.
And he just named Andrea Zopp as Deputy Mayor.
Very very interesting!

These people will be the last to know that he is going, stop the bull shit already. He is not taking a hike in 2 months, he will not run for re election, that is certain.
I was wondering about who the driver was of the 15 year old. News only said his age and had a criminal record. I knew it was a relative or something odd was up.
As much as I wish this were true I call bullshit on this.
Andrea Zopp would be absolutely no prize as mayor..... you think Rahm panders to the community?
Also do you really think Rahm would be thoughtful and caring enough to be concerned about the cops on his detail?
Hell no. He despises us..... all of us.
