The Definition of Insanity
- Fresh off another violent weekend in Chicago, police Superintendent Eddie Johnson stuck to familiar themes during a panel discussion Monday at the City Club of Chicago, lamenting the rocky relationship between his department and minority communities beset by violence and the need to hold repeat gun offenders more accountable.
The crowd of civic and business leaders at a downtown restaurant moaned when Johnson said that an average of one illegal gun has been confiscated on Chicago's streets every hour of every day this year.
"So when you think about that, it's completely unacceptable," he said. "We have to do a better job of holding people accountable."
Sticking to Rahm's script, even when it has obviously failed time and again. Does anyone think Rahm feeds his minions kibble treats when they do his bidding?

I call BS; illegal guns. We know longer have a handgun registration. Most guns are turn inns, how about police shootings, stripping officers, domestic where guns are not related to any crime, safe keeping, someone dies of natural causes and they take all their guns and many other none crimes. Yes I call BS; they are counting inventories.
I wish the media would file a freedom of information to get a break down of how many are police officers guns and what crime is involved with these guns.
Two more years and moving to a gun friendly state.
Preaching to the mind dead choir, that actually believes the BS.
SCC...Off topic, but surprised you didn't include this ongoing scandal in the NYPD in your thread this evening.

So, over 4000 illegal guns have been confiscated eh? This from a fetal police department?
From the article, now you know Eddie is a lying POS, "Johnson said the department's force of 12,000... There haven't been 12,000 police officers on this job for decades stretching back to the '90s. Maybe on paper for budget purposes, but no way are that many bodies on the job.
You are so right SCC.
Anyhoo, let's blame the violence in the city on the "rocky relationship" the savages have with the police who are there to restore "order". Scripted straight from Rham. only in a democratic city. But hey, remember, he was elected twice! Don't lose your job over these citizens. Dear god, I can't wait to leave this cesspool circling the drain .
Of topic, but - I am pretty much convinced that the lie-utenant exam cheating issue will be ignored long enough to just get swept under the rug. Come on, you really think ANYTHING will happen?? In another year or two (no more), we will see several exempts emerge from the Green waters of this scandal. I just want to take a moment to thank SCC for keeping it alive and not letting it be ignored. Your efforts are likely the only think causing these cheating bastards any anxiety whatsoever. It makes me sick every day walking into work seeing that little Green eyed bastard smirk. I hope I'm wrong - but NOTHING will come of this blatant scandal.
And yet another video of a PO delivering tactical stuns to a resister hits news. Totally justified from looks of video but he will be pit through the ringer first.
Why is Phather Phelcher sitting up in there bitching about Trump in public?
Hey "Pooch" Cupich!
Time to take the RC churches tax-exempt status away.

Dog and pony show. Bottom line how many people are in custody of IDOC for all those weapons? Ask Eddie that question. Ask Anita that question. Ask the Chief judge.
Good sweet Christ ... Was just over at get jackass ... Body count in or close to 50 ... Who the he'll needs the weather reports ... You can tell what the weather is by watching body count rise
Eddie, really? When the CPD was hard charging, was supported by the politicians who pull your strings and the citizens; I remember so called officals talking about how 4,000 or more guns were confiscated every year. You were also buying junk guns in yet another waste of taxpayer money but at least some people felt good doing it. The press was goo goo gaga incorrectly indentifying them in TV news footage but wow, what a display of the power of government. What did all that work accomplish now in 2016? ZIP, nada, nothing. This week end showed us that.
Folks, you need to figure a way to stop ass clowns like Tray-Tray and Little Man from shooting people. The Chicago Jerry Springer value system is the problem. Other places with superior value systems contain people who individually own a large number of guns ( a cache according to the tv news outlets) without running around shooting each other over nuffin.
The City of Chicago like Detroit and Baltimore and others have a break down in social values and it is because of poor leadership. Rahm is a dick head and as long as the voters think otherwise, you get the government and the City we so much enjoy.
Eddie says that the killings won't stop , and is the Governor's fault for not passing more gun control laws.
More hypocrisy
Black lawmakers block Emanuel's gun bill
Group in House stresses rehabilitation, not tougher sentencing
November 08, 2013|By Ray Long, Chicago Tribune reporter
HEY EDDIE. Back up your officers. Get prosecutorers to stop pleading out illegal gun violations with probation. Get more jail space. Start checking off names on that "list".Start with that. Not so complicated.
Eddie Johnson you are a bumbling idiot. People feel more comfortable talking to people that look like them? Are you fucking serious? Please take the microphone away from this imbecile. That's fine with me though. I've had enough of the west side. Take all of us white boys and girls out and put in people that "look like" the community. Let me know how that works out for you. Black officers get it worse than white ones sometimes. You and your incompetent administration would know this if you've ever done a lick of police work.
So how many are turn ins? Or from domestics? Far too many long guns.
4000 guns confiscated this year so far alone? I call bullshit on this one. I work in a busy district and we recover about 4 to 8 guns a week. Those gun arrests just don't fall on your lap. The only way he can reach that 4000 number is if you include gun turn ins, guns that are found, guns recovered from a prior crime, guns at crime scenes, etc.
No fucking reasonable way did we recover 4000 guns. The media is a parrot. They don't even do their fucking jobs. They just repeat what government officials say. Hey so called journalists- did you ask how many arrests came along with those 4000 recovered guns? Of course not. That would be too hard for you to do.
The police Dept has changed for the worse !!!! Time to move on
How bout this....this crime problem only concerns you if you are a thug trying to do thug business, I say, let the ghetto rats just keep eating their own.
Still cheaper than jail time.
I just don't care anymore.
Hey don't invite officers to listen to your bull shit then open the floor for questions if your going to Retaliate against those who speak!
You want Insanity?
How about a bunch of blue jean cops chasing, and then one fighting, a guy for drinking on the public way. Are these guys nuts to keep humping for a CB number in this anti-police environment. Don't you get it? Raise your right and and slap yourself!!! Now go home and look at your family and ask yoursel again if it's worth it.
Wake Thw Fu-- Up!
Eddie could not put talking points together if you listed them in alphabetical order.
RAHM put him at the front as a puppet. And Don't think his FI-ance doe not have another promotion coming up before he is launched.
Still not 1 commander launched?
How about foot post in Englewood?
How about bike patrols in North Lawndale?
How about cameras on 26 street?
yawn... Give father faker the head spot he seems to have all the answers.
Total for Chicago police dept 9,000 that's all
When the ass wants ej to go and ej doesn't want too. Rahm will "never let a crisis go to waste" and will use the lie-utenant scandal come to fruition.
Keep the testing scandal alive!
Chicago's violencce in the national news again-

Off Topic: Please let your readers know what the guards over at 26th are dealing with. They are no longer provided with toilet paper while at work. These animals they have to watch who are there because they broke the law get all the TP they want but the men and women who keep order have to bring there own. Dart is the biggest POS and is out of his mind with this so called budget cut. This needs to brought to the attention of the media. UNREAL!!!!!
My crazy uncle used to out milk on his jingles and bits. No sugar though. Bad for you.
Be warned, future states atty Kim Foxxxxx will want scalps. PO's will be charged with crimes in conjunction with improper uses of force.
Being really dark and cynical here.
Sometimes I think the old curmudgeon was right.
Give them all good ammo, and a bunch of razors and knives.
Let them clean up the hood.
You can go in after it is light out and clear up the mess.
Why fight human nature?
Wow talk about clueless, and I'm not limiting that comment to Johnson. Foxx is in so far over her head it's not even funny. Screw Detroit welcome to Baltimore.
Eddies house detail Event#1617110334. Commander Harmon told supervisors to keep it secret. Detail ended as soon as it hit the blog.
6/20/2016 09:09:00 PM
Dems his people. Why does me need a security detail. He can have his BLM friends watch his house.
When they do his bidding, Rahm lets them hold hos balls a little longer.
They are not getting a gun per hour. Just more bullshit from a boss that was promoted way over his head and should resign the position before he really says something stupid.
We have to hold people accountable ! Ha ha when you have a supreme court justice appointed by this liberal president who rails against the Police for conducting an investigative stop based on citizen call of drugs being sold from a house, which leads to a minor warrant arrest and a search of the person that recovers drugs and paraphernalia that takes the case to the supreme court for an obvious drug addict who claims he was unlawfully stopped. Where is the accountability in the liberal idea that unless you see him in the act of committing a crime your experienced intuition and a calls from the citizenry must go by the wayside. This is why crime goes on without penalty or when their is an arrest every effort is made to suppress it or reduce the penalty. why waste the time of stopping anyone unless you have to, let this society have what they asked for, criminals lurking the street with impunity.
I am retired after 33 years and Damn Glad of It. Stay Fetal, not Fatal.
It's just like Obama not calling radical Islamist what they are and the Mayor refusing to call black on black violence. I'm to a point where a lot of my friends are beginning to enjoy all of this BS coming from our leaders. It's funny......
Downtown civic and business leaders keep supporting the Democrat.
They'll moan and groan, all the while watching every night the hordes exiting the Red Line to partake in a ritualistic rampage of the Gold Coast.
Why does the group keep inviting Rahmn'Ed back to speak?
These people are suppose to be smart and successful, unlike the general public, yet every time they're told how great things are and better things to come. They eat that up. Silly fools.
So...
Just who is CPD is confiscating one gun a hour from?
Not mentionable.
Who is keeping violent repeat offenders in jail?
Not mentionable.
Rahmn'Ed won't mention the problem.
Hint: It's not the Guns.
Liars.
No ISR's until the Community learns to respect civility.
We make the headlines for slapping around a couple of pieces of shit; in New York, the Feds are arresting Deputy Inspectors of NYPD! Why is the NYPD scandal being played down, and CPD making international headlines?
The state of this department has nothing to do with who's in charge. The state of this job has been changing for several years now, the writing has been on the wall. The very liberal forces against law enforcement in this country have been ramping up for the onslaught we now experience daily. The day officers lost the benefit of the doubt and the word of criminals reigned is truly the day the music died, so to speak; now couple that with the endless ghetto-lottery lawsuits, lack of backup from dept. brass and local politicians, who show their obvious anti-police bias at every opportunity, and magnanimous new red tape-like rules and regs which handcuff and frustrate the rank and file and you have the resulting almost complete shutdown of pro activity on this job. I dont care who's in charge, there isn't anyone who can motivate people to be proactive again, there's no future in it except the unemployment line or prison, or both. Stay fetal my friends.
Chasing a guy for drinking. Now that's insane. WTF. Some guys simply don't get it. Still. Unfucking believable.
That stat about so many illegal guns being taken off the streets is pure BS. But the willing accomplices in the media that carry the water for 9.5 love having smoke blown up their collective asses.
However, just for laughs, let's play along and follow EJ's logic: just imagine how many more illegal guns would be taken off the streets if the police were actually allowed to do their jobs? Wouldn't that be great media elites ???
And now we return you to "reality"
Geez, how to you give up all you learned and just become a political hack?
I was told not to bother reading the blog at the academy a few years ago,that it was all lies, disgruntled PO's. I actually have learn more about the department reading it and noticed that it's more factual than some of the material I was thought in the academy. If it anything it should be encouraged.

"...it's completely unacceptable..."
Like it was last week, like it will be next week.
"The crowd of civic and business leaders at a downtown restaurant moaned..."
This one be thick. Not taking the hint...
...but what can you do with DOJ, BLM, ACLU, "People's Law Project," Loewy and Loewy, ""pastors," "reverends," "activists," "fambly spokesmen," the "Daughters of Assata" marching Black Panther fashion team in their purple berets, Ja'Mal, and Lemon Record running the city with their "investigations" and their bullhorns?
So what happens when the police finally pick up the idea and chain themselves together and sit down in the middle of 79th Street?
Insanity is pouring more money and jobs at the problem, expecting different results. Lack of opportunity and entrenched segregation? More like terrible child rearing. I overheard two African American women talking about taking their kids to a carnival last weekend. A carnival at a Catholic Church in the suburbs. The woman who took her kids looked around and whispered to the other one "It's a lot nicer. You know." As they knowingly nodded their heads in agreement and commented quietly that there wasn't any pushing, shoving or fighting from the crowd, that they'd expect at carnivals closer to home.
You don't need money or jobs to teach your kid right from wrong. You need to get involved.
Ok Eddie the solution is "diversity" your a brainiac:
Johnson said the department's force of 12,000 needs more diversity. That, he said, might persuade more African-American and Hispanic residents to help police. Johnson said 71 percent of the applicants for the department's most recent entrance exam were minorities.
"One thing I've heard time and time again in the minority communities, 'We will feel more comfortable giving information to people who look more like us,'" he said.
More comfortable with people that look like us! Ok eddie give them what they want sounds like a great solution, put black and hispanic officers in their communties white officers in prodominately white areas, detectives should be black only and hispanic only interviewing in thoses areas, that way the peole would be happy! Ed that is really an ignorant statement, could you iomagine if a Caucasion American boss said that? Was at christ hospital recenetly saw white doctors looking at hispanic and black patrients guess with the comfortable factor they should use holy cross,and jackson park type hospitals correct?
As an officer Ed I would be "more comfortable" with more support of funny clown gold star grab a big pension group!
What do you expect, no one is giving them the answers to this test. Winners never cheat and cheaters never win! Cheating and meritorious at its finest.
"And yet another video of a PO delivering tactical stuns to a resister hits news. Totally justified from looks of video but he will be pit through the ringer first."
For a drinking on the public way ticket...he runs, officer chase him, catch him, whack him all for a fucking ticket.
People keep on saying don't do nothing be fetal but yet they still doing it. Probable setup...probably and the officer fell for it.
insanity everywhere could you imagine how would you respond to this massive brawl at ihop?

Well Gentlemen of the Blue apply your sanity test to yourselves: you are following orders from people who've harmed you and mean you the worst their cowardly selves can muster.
Eh?
"Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results."
Eh?
W/respect,
Family member.
"One thing I've heard time and time again in the minority communities, 'We will feel more comfortable giving information to people who look more like us,'" he said.
Yeah, I remember the times in 011 when a black citizen on a scene would walk past black officers and come up to me (a white Hispanic male) saying "I don't want to talk to any of them, I want to talk to you."
What else can he say. He won't tell the truth that the police are overrun by criminals who have a get out of jail free card along with the ghetto lottery thanks to liberal democrat politicians, judges and the media.
Rahm couldn't care less about the city crumbling down around him.
Rahm came here with an agenda and he's insanely sticking to it.
So that's 4000+ felony gun charges? Convictions? Multiple felony charges? Truth in sentencing??? Judge, prosecutor ??? Hello . The cops got the guns now it's YOUR turn to keep the offenders "Alleged" off of the streets. No plea bargain, no time served, no good behavior bullshit. Where is THEIR accountability???
Cheaters cheaters cheaters criminals criminals criminals
4000 Gun Recoveries?

4000 Fucking Guns?
Shit... In the bad old days of

Coppers including SOS, FIVE
Area Mission and Saturation Teams.
9 to 15 TWO MAN beat cars, 3 or
more wagons, 6 to 12 to as many as 18

...And MAYBE that many guns may have
been seized in a similar span of time.
Shit or go fucking blind...
The current manpower

this year...

Maybe 4000 total guns
down at E&RPS.
Maybe one of the dead whore

Remember the famous
"Table o' Guns" prop that
was always rolled out to
bolster City Hall spin?
It was good agit-prop until
people started looking at the
affixed inventory tags and
started to loudly call bullshit
on the mayor and whichever
exempt hosting the presser.
Then they cordoned shit off/
tucked the tags under/put up
"Looky But No Touchy" signs...
Political M/Fers are funny when they
squat, lose their balance and stumble
backwards into their own shit.
Eddie has to stand in front of a blowing
like Old Faithful fire hydrant to clean
himself off and he still stinks of
fraud and dishonesty.
A desperate man caught dirty and
trying to keep his main side-piece
out of the investigatory cross-hairs
while caught between a weasel mayor
and the ever noisy m/fers over at
"for us, by us" whose faulty cause
knows no pause.
Eddie either has a grabber before
the year is out.
Ugly shit might happen if he tries to
step down for "health reasons."
Unless the feebs whistle him
in for a chat if they haven't already...

Ol' Policeman just throws his

Shit-Show and all the rotten
M/Fers starring in it.
This script coming from "Can't get right Eddie Johnson" kinda soothes the soul of the guilt ridden white liberals who continue to fund this violence by throwing more money at it....stay embryonic my friends.
Don't you know the gun violence is a public health issue now. The democratics say so. If only we had more money for research etc.....Find the root causes, community outreach and so forth. Jail for criminals? Not in the progressive play book.
OT -- Loretta pulls a fast U-turn!
Justice Dept. reverses course on redacting transcript of Orlando gunman
"In the midst of a tense standoff with police, Orlando nightclub gunman Omar Mateen calmly claimed credit for the massacre and identified himself as an "Islamic soldier'' while calling on U.S. authorities to stop the bombing in Iraq and Syria, according to partial transcripts of the attacker's telephone contacts with dispatchers and crisis negotiators released on Monday.
"Praise be to God, and prayers as well as peace be upon the prophet of God," Mateen told a 911 dispatcher in Arabic just after 2:30 a.m., June 12. "I am in Orlando, and I did the shootings."
"Mateen provided his full name during the 50-second call and then went on to pledge allegiance to the Islamic State and its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. Justice Department officials initially redacted the reference to the terror group and its leader when the exchange was released Monday but abruptly changed course following a wave of criticism from Republican leaders..."

"Most guns are turn ins..."
6/21/2016 12:19:00 AM
Yes, news radio reported today that they are including these in the big number they're giving out...
what i think is even more insane is Mary Mitchells Article today calling for police to be more aggressive. At one point she even rights that, sure police officers will find themselves violation civil liberties, but it might be worth it to get bad people off the street. wait, what?!?!?! Sorry Mary, but WE ARE DONE! Dont you DARE ask us to be proactive and aggressive. We are done. The politicians, the citizens, the ACLU and the Media has trashed this department over the past year. We are done. We have in car cameras, body cameras, people recording our every move and guys getting stripped of powers for knee jerk reactions. Sorry, if you think with body cameras and in car cameras we are going to "go above and beyond" and possibly "violate civil liberties" as you put it Mary you are crazy!!!! Sorry, but the days of proactive policing are done. If someone is shot we will respond because its all we can do. Now, when we see 5 thugs on a corner, or up on a porch, or in the street we CANNOT and WILL NOT stop them! We really cant, we want to but cant. Those days are over. We are not going to stop thugs for just standing around. We use to do that and then got them out of the area or arrested them for anything we could. YOU and the media, preachers, reverunds and politicians all said we were petty and not effectivly policing. But what was really happening is we were heating up neighborhoods making it known we were out there. We were getting people off the streets for the night. People who could have been potential victims or offenders of crimes. now, everyone is out there. All the thugs are out there. while standing out there they can be victims aka easy targets for rivals or they can be offenders standing there with a gun close by ready to shoot. We will never know because we are not stopping them because the law says we cant just stop and check them. So now, we are going to follow the law. The only people the media, politicos and ACLU helped with all of this are the criminals. They are the ones who are now free to do what they want. The normal citizens who WANT us there and who the police never messed with now have to pay. They have to be held captive in their own neighborhoods. They are suffering. The police suffer, the good people suffer, tourists suffer and the thugs get to party. They get to go play cops and robbers with out the cops playing.. Good luck Mary Mitchell and to all who have protested us and tried to change us. We are done and you all can fend for yourselves. I loved being an aggressive police officer. I was a great police officer and made alot of good arrests with only about 3 citizen complaints in 14 years. Now, I do nothing. I do only what my job requires, and it does not require me to be more aggressive than answering my calls and serving the people who call me. Thats it and thats all. This city is losing good police officers day by day. Every day coppers are hanging up the aggressive police work to lay low and do nothing and all of you are to blame. The city will continue to get worse because there are only a handful of workers left in every district and unit. They are becoming a rare breed.

the 19th ward sucks
630am...you're correct, being a black officer I can personally attest to the "community" giving us an even harder time when tryin to do our job. They believe that black officers should turn a blind eye to other blacks even when they're caught doing something wrong and give us more crap than they do the white officers. Personally, I step to them and check them but it's irritating as hell to deal with. Sending more of A.A. officers to work in the hood won't do a damn thing....probably make things worse.
How many were from the turn-ins sponsored by the revruns???

Agreed. I've never seen anything so stupid caught on video this month than that. All of THAT for a DOPW ANOV? Seriously?
Even if the officer believed dude was packing, as soon as it became apparent that he was just another bustout alcoholic bum, he should have completely retreated from that situation. Note to the officer involved: Get your ass in some kind of physical shape also. You're well on your way to having a widow maker before reaching 40. Seriously.
More material for the Insanity Department -- going to the Olympics in Rio would definitely qualify. Zika bugs, the place is an enormous, reeking open sewer and garbage dump, the "light rail" system to move visitors -- as well as many other facilities -- will never be completed, and...
Rio's 'highway of terror': Shooter takes aim at cars on 'Red Line' road that ALL Olympic athletes and fans must travel to get to games in Brazil
* Terrifying violence has spilled out from favelas to Red Line highway in Rio
* The road is the only route from the city's airport to the Olympic village
* Image has emerged of a shooter taking aim at cars passing down road [even two police cars visible in the jammed traffic]
* He appears to be holding a semi-automatic rifle with a holographic sight
* Highway has been blighted by shootings, car jackings and hostage takings
"The 13-mile [elevated -- you are trapped up there] expressway runs from Rio's international airport into the city, and is in the most part lined with sprawling favela shanty towns which are dangerous no-go zones controlled by heavily-armed drugs gangs."
Everything in the area is pockmarked with bullet scars. People dive out of their cars and take cover behind the concrete lane dividers -- and pray. One man who lives nearby had to stay on the floor in his house during a three-day gun battle.
He says -- "Don't come to Rio de Janeiro. Right now, Rio is a dangerous place to be. Here, there won't be any Olympics, there won't be any celebrations. There will just be more shootings.'
Another ordinary resident says -- 'If I were choosing whether to come to Rio, I wouldn't come at this moment. It's too dangerous. The state of Rio de Janeiro is bankrupt, there's no money, no jobs, people are becoming desperate and many are turning back to crime.

what i think is even more insane is Mary Mitchells Article today calling for police to be more aggressive. At one point she even rights that, sure police officers will find themselves violation civil liberties, but it might be worth it to get bad people off the street. wait, what?!?!?! Sorry Mary, but WE ARE DONE! Dont you DARE ask us to be proactive and aggressive. We are done. The politicians, the citizens, the ACLU and the Media has trashed this department over the past year. We are done. We have in car cameras, body cameras, people recording our every move and guys getting stripped of powers for knee jerk reactions. Sorry, if you think with body cameras and in car cameras we are going to "go above and beyond" and possibly "violate civil liberties" as you put it Mary you are crazy!!!! Sorry, but the days of proactive policing are done. If someone is shot we will respond because its all we can do. Now, when we see 5 thugs on a corner, or up on a porch, or in the street we CANNOT and WILL NOT stop them! We really cant, we want to but cant. Those days are over. We are not going to stop thugs for just standing around. We use to do that and then got them out of the area or arrested them for anything we could. YOU and the media, preachers, reverunds and politicians all said we were petty and not effectivly policing. But what was really happening is we were heating up neighborhoods making it known we were out there. We were getting people off the streets for the night. People who could have been potential victims or offenders of crimes. now, everyone is out there. All the thugs are out there. while standing out there they can be victims aka easy targets for rivals or they can be offenders standing there with a gun close by ready to shoot. We will never know because we are not stopping them because the law says we cant just stop and check them. So now, we are going to follow the law. The only people the media, politicos and ACLU helped with all of this are the criminals. They are the ones who are now free to do what they want. The normal citizens who WANT us there and who the police never messed with now have to pay. They have to be held captive in their own neighborhoods. They are suffering. The police suffer, the good people suffer, tourists suffer and the thugs get to party. They get to go play cops and robbers with out the cops playing.. Good luck Mary Mitchell and to all who have protested us and tried to change us. We are done and you all can fend for yourselves. I loved being an aggressive police officer. I was a great police officer and made alot of good arrests with only about 3 citizen complaints in 14 years. Now, I do nothing. I do only what my job requires, and it does not require me to be more aggressive than answering my calls and serving the people who call me. Thats it and thats all. This city is losing good police officers day by day. Every day coppers are hanging up the aggressive police work to lay low and do nothing and all of you are to blame. The city will continue to get worse because there are only a handful of workers left in every district and unit. They are becoming a rare breed.

She can thank herself and her 'criminals need protection' brethren for this. I never thought, in my entire career, that I'd see such a radical change in policing in this city/country. And it happened in a five-year time span, most especially since Ferguson blew up.
Mary, you and your ilk made police the villains, turned us into the 'bad guys'. You taught a whole generation to respect nothing and take (and do) whatever they wanted without fear of consequences. You have hobbled and hog-tied the police.
We aren't risking our lives, liberty, families and homes for people like you, who do not value us, who belittle us and who persecute us.
If they asked how many people were charged with a crime for all those guns, fast Eddie would look like a goof and be laughed out of town. Less than five percent I'm sure.

So what happens when the police finally pick up the idea and chain themselves together and sit down in the middle of 79th Street?

The police will be fired. (And since they value having an income, it won't happen.)
Those other people, not so much. You have to HAVE a job, in order to be fired, so no worries there.

2. Because Rahm Emanuel is a fool and he thought pushing us in front of the firing line was going to save HIS sorry ass FROM the firing line.

"And yet another video of a PO delivering tactical stuns to a resister hits news. Totally justified from looks of video but he will be pit through the ringer first."
For a drinking on the public way ticket...he runs, officer chase him, catch him, whack him all for a fucking ticket.
People keep on saying don't do nothing be fetal but yet they still doing it. Probable setup...probably and the officer fell for it.
6/21/2016 11:52:00 AM
My sentiments exactly. The bad guys know that if they drink on the public way or smoke weed on the public way and a tact guy sees them and the bad guy runs away, they know that the police officer will engage in a foot pursuit. In 015 we have 2 to 5 foot chases per day on 3rd watch. Despite the fact we have body cameras on. Some officers love getting on the air and showing how aggressive and tough they are as police officers. Chasing dude for dopw, dope, obstructing traffic, reckless conduct, a domestic warrant, etc. You should hear these strokes. Half the time they don't even know what street they are on and where they are going. If they end up making an arrest then they hoot and hollar and give each other high fives and they go into 015 and there is more celebrating.
Idiots. Stupid. Dumb. Dolts. But keep up the good work. They city has your back.
6/21@12:10am - You are on spot! Several years ago a neighbor (also a suburban PO) had a leak coming from the apt. above - no key was located so the landlord called for CFD. Upon entering, they noticed a glass door rifle cabinet and CPD arrived & inventoried the weapons. After numerous phone calls and getting my D/C to call the Unit in question's D/C, the weapons were returned after being test fired and several accessories were "missing." My only advice was to tell the suburban officer to store his non-essential weapons outside of the city and to forget about the missing items. The D/C actually put out a local press release dramatically recounting the weapons seizure & took the release to the next ComCrap meeting. And the D/C knew that they were a policeman's guns. Instead of moving his weapons - the officer moved out of the city.
If there were real journalists in this town, they would verify the number of guns turned in. They caught Garry fibbing on a display a couple of years ago with old inventory numbers on the weapons. They won't check because they are part of the socialist problem in this city.
Tools, Tools, and more Tools. Anything to avoid blaming the real problem. Answer me this. Chicago surrounded by many suburbs and Counties that have millions of guns in them, yet little or no problems. How do you explain that, educated Idiots in the News Media and CPD Brass?
Guess What? You are dysfunctional, incompetent Liars.
Yeah, I remember the times in 011 when a black citizen on a scene would walk past black officers and come up to me (a white Hispanic male) saying "I don't want to talk to any of them, I want to talk to you."
6/21/2016 01:01:00 PM
Exactly they don't trust their own people to do the right thing.
Ole EJ's nose is growing every time he opens his mouth. to include weapons turned in is very dumb. Then again you like your friends cheated to get where you are today. Go back to 32nd &Wabash and eat some pizza. You truly are a rahm's stooge!

Who does he put the arm on to donate so he can keep his operation open and criticise anyone he doesn't like? The man has it made. No rules, no filters, nothing! Do priests pay income tax? Do they have to declare gifts as income? Fancy clothes and fancy cars are expensive! It would seem that he has lost his focus from religion to politics. Shouldn't that be taxable and not non-profit?

From the article, now you know Eddie is a lying POS, "Johnson said the department's force of 12,000... There haven't been 12,000 police officers on this job for decades stretching back to the '90s. Maybe on paper for budget purposes, but no way are that many bodies on the job.

Do either of you guys have a clue? In case you have forgotten, or never learned, almost all of the white shirts on this department are sworn POLICE OFFICERS. They are, and always have been, counted in the TOTAL force. There has never been a time where numbers related to the police force have only counted blue shirts. We are at just over 12,000, but not by much. Quit posting stupid shit on the blog trying to get your 3 seconds of fame. Do your research first so you don't let the world know just how stupid you really are.
Eddie it's the guns now? Last week it was your magic list of 1400 names.
This isn't rocket science. Toni Preckwinkle has made it her mission to empty the jail and she has succeeded in her ill conceived plan. She also successfully took out Anita Alvarez who was a real prosecutor and someone who dared to stand up to Preckwinkle.
JAIL NUMBERS AT RECORD LOW, MURDERS AND SHOOTINGS AT RECORD HIGH. HMMMM. COULD THERE BE A CORRELATION?
Preckwinkle and Kim Foxx will be the final destroyers of this city.
I can see why the new superintendent, Eddie Johnson, does not speak much. Everytime he opens his mouth he reaffirms that he is in over his head and was only appointed because he is black and the mayor needed a black face for the department. Someone else is actually making the decisions for the CPD.

It's normally the offenders that want to talk to us and it's to get out of charges. Once they see they are getting charged a non-biased, equal opportunity disdain for all police of all colors, creeds and faiths resumes. The point they realize the black officer is not who they thought you were is hilarious. Then again I had a crazy DUI years back where this white chick would not do anything I asked. A white PO would walk up and she'd be completely compliant. It happened several times till my partner finally said dude I don't think she likes black people...oh well...does she like these bracelets I'm putting on her?

Escalante, for the most part, is running CPD.
In years past the Supe was usually a figure head ( to appease the community) while more competent exempts served as First Deputy and basically ran day to day operations of the department.
We've reverted to those times with our biggest buffoon yet as Dupe.... oops typo I meant Supe!
Like Escalante knows what he's doing.
630am...you're correct, being a black officer I can personally attest to the "community" giving us an even harder time when tryin to do our job. They believe that black officers should turn a blind eye to other blacks even when they're caught doing something wrong and give us more crap than they do the white officers. Personally, I step to them and check them but it's irritating as hell to deal with. Sending more of A.A. officers to work in the hood won't do a damn thing....probably make things worse.

True -- but the Democrats in the House Of Representatives are having a BLM-style, door-blocking illegal sit-in to demand passage of gun control laws. Should have heard it, utter chaos. Rule of law completely falling apart in this country, all the way to the top.
