Hurry Summer Mobile, Hurry!

Start the beach patrol already - it's getting dangerous!
  • A 24-year-old man was shot and critically wounded at Foster Beach Friday night near Uptown.

    Emergency crews responded at 8:52 p.m. to the shooting at the beach in the 5100 block of North Simonds Drive, according to Chicago Police.
If only someone had closed the beaches!

Off topic----- while working blues fest went to Cosi on Michigan ave to eat and before ordering heard a worker/cook tell his co-worker that he hates the police and has to get out of here. Obviously left but don't eat there cause who knows what they will do to our food.

This lakefront shooting smacks of America's Cup hooliganism. When will these nautical thugs be brought to justice? Where's M-100 to lead the charge....oh wait....dumped by Georgas. Nice timing Steve!

The fireworks show started early tonight. I enjoyed all of the pretty blue lights along the North side lakefront. Were the red lights the ones of an ambulance taking the person shot to the hospital?

critical condition???? Love the media garbage just to get a rise out of people. He got a graze wound to the neck and will more than likely be cured with an oversized band aid. Not even close to critical condition. Still happened though, but foster beach is a cesspool anyways.

Remember that one of the bosses said the implementation of Summer Mobile has nothing to do with the beaches currently being out of control. They were planning on putting this together anyways......... his nose was growing like Pinocchio as he said that.

The Brass has already modified the Summer Mobile Program, they will not be patrolling the beach, they will be a citywide response unit. Once again they lie to the troops.

Irony isn't it?
Didn't Rahm give similar shit-talk when
Questions were raised about him closing
schools in mostly black communities to
exact revenge against Jabba The Lewis
for sticking it in his perpetually enraged
sissy-weasel ass with a teacher strike?

"Eff 'em, they don't go to school anyway..."

Or some substantially similar such...

The North Shore/Gold Coast and Hyde Park -
U of Chicago liberal left, Alinskyite Progressives
are some of the nastiest and most implacable
undercover bigots and classists.

We were inside their orbit once upon a time
before becoming a Policeman.

We and others like us have collectively
delivered more help, care and concern
to "The Community" than these white
guilting, phony charity and grievance
industrial complex running frauds and
phonies EVER could.

"Policeman" stands for something they
have no idea how to measure or process
and it chafes them badly.

"We can't wrap our heads around YOU..."

Well, come and see for yourselves...
Or perhaps it's easier to run with what
Rahm "document dumps" to his
agit-prop apparatus to keep
misdirected public ire hotted-up
against The Police instead of
being properly directed toward
the entirety of elected officialdom
in this town...

"There is no discernible war against The Police..."

The same 'boss' who stated at a press conference (only three days earlier) there would be NO new police assigned to the beaches. That 'boss' is the superintendent.

When i don't think this department can get any dumber, they get rid of VRI (stupid the implementation anyway) at the height of the busy season without having anything in place to cover it ! then roll out this summer mobile with only 2 weeks notice and expect guys to jump at it , hey morons people start making their holiday plans 2 months in advance due to maybe not getting the time off during the summer, so good luck going reverse seniority and pissing more coppers off, also what detectives would want to go to this detail ??? they want 10 from the area wtf ??? Who wants my ticket for the titanic !!!

I heard ONCE -- and only at the tail end of a story about this mighty cohort of police supposedly being assembled -- that Summer Mobile amounts to about 100 officers.

...when we're about 2000 short.

That's a lot of parks and "neighborhoods" and an awfully long lakefront...

* Robert Borba, 28, brought down the bike thief in Eagle Point on Friday
* Victorino Arellano-Sanchez, 23, had stolen the bike outside a Wal-Mart
* Borba jumped on horse Long John and caught him with the lasso
* He held the man tight with the lasso until police arrived
* Borba is a former rodeo star and now works as a rancher

Reverse seniority will get an approximate 2-4 year crew of hard chargers.

Hey if u want seniority and have 7-12 years volunteer and enjoy days not midnights or third watch

Summer Mobile?

Sheeeeeeeeeyit....
This city is too far gone for anything
other than a crash hire of 4000.
Fuck what Rahm & The Bean-Counters say...

How in hell can they shit-talk about
"Maximizing Efficiencies" when they
Desperately cling to clout, political fuckery
and the built-in institutional fraud, waste
and inertia that clout walks into the door with?

The mayor has to be man enough to say
fuck political correctness and political considerations.

Let The Police be The Police.

The Police advance on and arrest/hurt/destroy
criminals.

Upright Society and the laws thereof say nothing
about The Police being compelled to care, be
sensitive, friendly or even entertain the liberal
and catered-to constituent wet-dream of
"Duty to Retreat."

"If we beat the aggression and assertiveness
out of The Police, we can over-write duty to retreat
on their hard drive."

Bullshit.

I worked the Summer Mobile Force back in 1983, 1984. I had a blast. Freedom and make some arrests. Plenty of court and overtime. Detectives were detailed back then also. I volunteered, I was a fairly new cop but I knew it would be fun and it was. Answer calls in your District or volunteer for a city wide Unit, w weren't always at beaches. We went everywhere. I had a three wheel motorcycle along Oak. Street and North ave beaches. Things have changed. But I would tell you guys to go for it. Or stay in your Dustrict and answer calls. Hav fun. Funny how the media thinks this is a great brand new strategy. They dusted off the old plan from the eighties.

Our city has been more violent during the last five years , murders , shootings , civil disobedience by labor unions , protestors disrupting presidential rallies , white students and faculty threatened with death at the university in Hyde park , wilding , spin used to describe battery , strong armed robbery on Michigan avenue . Now cannot go to the lake front with family , shootings on our expressways , lake shore drive , more young children under -3 gunned down by gangs . All this and the democrats running for every office say police are the problem and racist . Tell this to the family , store owners that have become victims of violent crimes in Chicago .
Remember Christmas shoppers were blocked from shopping , no arrests . Democratic plan to destroy the American way of life .

You can thank the cliffdwellers along the drive for the end of the parties. Once the photos (and one video that I'm sure of) came in with the complaints, it was done. One guy, in particular, repeatedly beefing about cpd - gasp! - drinking after hours.

No way you could do it now, with all the cellphones out there recording your every move.
