Slow Start
Only 5 shot? On a Friday? That's what HeyJackass.com has listed. Saturday picked up a little bit - 1 dead and 6 wounded by early afternoon. This might have something to do with it though:
- Raids targeting street gang members ahead of the Fourth of July weekend resulted in 88 arrests Friday, the Chicago Police Department announced.
The raids targeted gang members in the 11th and 15th districts on the city’s West Side, police said.
Of the 88 people arrested on felony and misdemeanor charges, 76 were on the department’s Strategic Subject List and 55 were convicted felons, police said. Sixteen were on parole for earlier crimes.
Police seized eight firearms, including an assault weapon and two handguns during a traffic stop Friday in the 5500 block of West Potomac Street. Members of the department’s Gang Enforcement Unit found the weapons while monitoring suspected gang activity in the 4900 block of West Crystal Drive when they stopped a Chevrolet Impala, and three people ran from the vehicle, police said.
You take 88 jagoffs out of the mix early, word gets around, quickly. Hammering 011 and 015 makes the under a good bet. This was a smart move, meaning it didn't come from HQ, but it only works if:
- the cases stick
- the warrants are good
- the courts carry out sentences
- IDOC rescinds paroles and sends jagoffs downstate
Otherwise, it's a one-time deal as Chicago marches toward 600.

Next week will be in the 80s so there is ample time to make up any shortages of bodies.
I hope most of those 88 were white. We cannot have large numbers of black and brown folks being arrested. From Obama on down to city/county leadership it is frowned upon, not to mention being racist.
SCC the man. All the best to you and yours. Thank you, Sir, for all the time you put in here for us. Not heard often enough, but I know all the worker ants and a lot of citizens depend on it.
...and don't do this!

I mean...
Does this mean the war on crime and gun violence in Chicago is won?
Cute little scenario, until a federal judge rules you can't disrupt the shithead's holiday weekend... They will put them on a protected species list that will prevent you from even tipping your hat at them. I wonder if it will extend to barring sworn members from giving out cell phone numbers. Talk about "Clout City".
"Lock his ass up so he don't
get his ass shot an' shit..."
Fuck no these charges won't stick!
Didn't Tony "Sir-Ma'am" Prickwrinkle
say she was "sick and tired" of
CPD running black and brown people
(and folks too) into Cook County Jail?
Isn't Tom Dart waving these assholes
out the door as fast as they hit intake?
Just you wait...
These assholes will be out in a matter of days
and any howls of triumph from City Hall about a possible reduction
in the traditional blood sacrifices over the 4th will turn into
screams of terror and volcanic colon blowing by next Monday morning.
The Policeman just throws his head back and laughs.
Who in their right mind can blame him?
Respond.
Drop paper.
Watch the body-snatchers.
Oversee the wash-down.
Roll to the next one.
Keep Policing like you have no friends.
It's driving all the right people up
the M/Fing wall.
You gonna do this, do it every week. Go inter-agency, line up the buses around the corner, everybody forget about who is an a__hole and who not, check warrants, check parole status, and go through some doors.
Otherwise you gonna get murder/murder/murder like our tiny Mayor wants. "Take it in the alley!" Why? That make it OK? They did that with a little kid -- remember? Babydad owed money or disrespected or something. You good with that?
Coppers wanna do their jobs, but won't at greater risk to themselves than to the offenders. Place needs a professional cleanout.
Make up your f__ing minds.
Yup I thought the same thing. A well timed sweep of thugs .
Mayor Tiny said "fetal." In the first place.

CPDxit.
It's spreading.
Have someone do SOMETHING while you're in Tierra Del Fuego watching the seals spawn, as far away as you can get in Argentina.
Why'd you skip Caracas and Rio De Janeiro? 49 Rio officers killed so far this year, bullet-pocked expressways that look like Fallujah, police cars with no gas, people taking cover on their floors for three days straight, neighborhoods so bad that drug gangs run them?
Conditions getting too close to home?
Can't call that a "fact-finding tour," huh?
"...but it only works if:" -- SCC
...you keep hammerin on it. Wednesday noon. Then before dawn on Monday. &c.
Got a "list," use it.
HIVE GOIN UP!
Need more of these. Let narcotics and gangs be what they're supposed to be. Not McCarthys number generating unit.
"...it only works if:
* the cases stick

Uh...Loretta? Oh, forgot, busy talking about golf and grandchildren on private airplane with engines idling to keep A/C on...
Wow gang enforcement did it? Are you sure it was not the bikers from gang investigations? They do real good work with their beards and all.
Dead quiet tonight. I'm and ET and for once this summer we are actually able to take a few breaths and chill. I'm working 3rd watch and I didn't get one person shot scene tonight. I was driving around area south tonight all night and you could hear a pin drop.. It's not just the arrests in 011 and 15. There are coppers everywhere and I see a lot of guys actually stopping cars, foot chases and street stops tonigh. Tons of coppers can actually keep crime quiet so I want crime down Rahm then hire more people.
Rain on Sunday will help too.
Good job, now I hope the system keeps them off the streets.
The poor innocent thug bastards are safer in jail than on the streets.
The rest of the neighborhood is safer too.
Good!
Maybe the ILNG can stay home in July.
Give credit to the CPD bosses. Having people work their rdo's plus these raids had a positive effect. I will never understand coppers- a lot of them are rooting for violence and mayhem.
It's not like Chicago was turning into a major city in some backwater, third world, banana republic.

Oh, yes it IS already there. Present tense, not past. F__k you, too.
Quit slobbering. It's undignified. Whip a dog 100 times and then pet it once and it comes running back. A couple of raids and one big press conference don't turn this thing around to where you get your face licked all of a sudden.
Take the cuffs off the police and put them on the offenders and let that roll like it used to and MAYBE you'll see some long-term improvement, Otherwise, here we DO have Rio, Caracas.
We'll see real soon. Like next weekend? And the next? Same jump-outs, same warrants? An even bigger all-out interagency effort? Show me then. And again. And again.
"The poor innocent thug bastards are safer in jail than on the streets."
7/03/2016 02:27:00 AM
Run that past me again?
So it's three troll hits in a row this AM. Wow.
The killers within these gangs will continue to kill again this gives them a chance to get three hot meals and a cot, in which to lay their respective empty infested heads and meet with each other to plan more havoc throughout the city. All of which is paid for by us the working class citizens. You gotta love this fucking city, county and state.

It just proves that if you have enough manpower, good supervision that backs their people and do things that are supposed to be done and do them the right way, you could actually get a good outcome! Than why does the mayor constantly keep punishing the entire city by fucking with the Police? What a jagoff that little mutt is!
So we do something that works, we're a bit proactive, and coppers complain? Geez....

That's all well and good but coppers can't and WON'T work their RDO's every weekend.
And no one is rooting for violence and mayhem.
We just happen to Know that it is inevitable.
I thought you can not do racial profiling. Where's the ACLU????
Early arrests and a shitload of police saturating areas. This was just a ploy for the weekend. Rahm will not keep this up. Just wanted the weekend to be quiet because it's usually a disaster. Back to usual soon. And a big fuck you to the coppers out there going above and beyond. You're a fucking pawn and you're doing rahms bidding

So canceling coppers days off deserves credit? You're a goof. How about actually hiring coppers? These little piss ass 50 graduates here and there doesn't work. We put out a class of 50 and New York 1200.
O.T.
Keep sticking your neck out
Charges have been dropped against a man accused of battering an off-duty police officer who intervened in a Wrigleyville street disturbance on June 22. The officer was rendered unconscious in the attack.
One count of felony aggravated battery to a police officer against 29-year-old Tremaine Wilson was tossed out with a finding of no probable cause by Cook County Judge Marvin Luckman. The state then dropped a lesser charge of reckless conduct, according to court records.
DOJ and ACLU: "Excuse me officers... Mind if we take a look at your paperwork???"

""Give credit to the CPD bosses. Having people work their rdo's plus these raids had a positive effect. I will never understand coppers- a lot of them are rooting for violence and mayhem. ""
I think its more frustration with being treated like pawns and shit by the community, and most of all Politicians. Both on and off the job. There are so many mixed signals and so many players trying to make a name for themselves off of our lives and careers. And this entire clout thing and phony promotion thing? You work your ass off for 20 or 30 years for what? To be stripped and shit canned for one mistake, or supposed mistake. This God damned city has been screaming for our heads and belittling us for years yet now they decide they need us.
Ive met very, very few coppers who have seen suffering on the street and have "rooted" for it. Any Mother crying for her kid is a terrible thing to see even if the kid was a jagoff. I may be a cynic but I dont like watching suffering.
And dont forget the same bunch that had you posing with your ARs is the same bunch that legitimized shitbirds like the BLM bunch. The entire game is rigged.
I currently work at 376 due to a back injury. A bunch of coppers are headed back to the street in a few weeks. All are people who were light duty or were stripped and now released. There are about 16 or so. And I gotta tell you that most have been down here for a few years and all are saying the same thing; they ain't doing shit once they hit the streets. LOL, the brass might ass well keep them down here at Callback.
And now the coppers from the McDonald case are all about to get the shaft too. They all might be catching cases from that night out. Giving false witness accounts which apparently differ from the video. Not sure how many but more heads are going to roll here shortly. LOL I think they are making room for the new crew that we are expected to get.
Even if you don't do shit anymore you will always have to worry about your partner putting you in the trick bag where you have to decide to honor that "Code of Silence" or risk going to lockup as an inmate one day.
Stay Fetal.
how much OT was spent this weekend?
03:25am - Holy shit are you naive, what we're "rooting for" is people like you to get their head out of their ass and demand that the powers that be hire the number of cops we are supposed to have! The shitheads should see us all the time, not just when we raid the hood. And, we'd like to see our families on holidays too! So keep your troll ass opinions to yourself.
So let me see if I understand this correctly. CPD working days off. Cook county sheriffs knocking on doors ISP patrolling the city highways. Everyone out in force. And there are only a couple of shootings. So having a fully staffed department working with other departments prevents violent crime? And this is a surprise to whom exactly? Nice for guys to make the OT but hire more police already.
No worries the mutts will make up for it if not this weekend then next.
Good idea, but the Revs and black Politicians will cry racism. Why target just the black gangs? What about the Hispanic gangs? This is old school policing which will not be tolerated.
All the extra cops working days off proves something. Yes, the raids helped, but the extra police on the streets, everyway, helps too. Proving once again the theory created in NYC. Put a lot of cops on the street and crime goes down. Are you listening tiny dancer? We should have 15,000 cops in this city, not 12,000 like you want us to have.
It's the 4th of July weekend. The only thing folks will be out shooting is fireworks. They be doing the Bar B Que thing and making happy.
sounds like targeting/picking on certain groups of honorable citizens Obama, aclu, prickwinkle, jessie jackass, father phaker, etc wont be happy
Locking up only Black and Brown people are we? Eddie you Racist. Half are already bonded out and ready for action.
Seems to prevent more officers on the street is the trick
Just my opinion but this actually seems like somebody came up with an actual 'Plan'.
And if that many shitbirds were rounded up wouldn't make sense to ...oh... I don't know, but do it EVERY weekend?
Even if many of the 'Bangers make Bail, eventually they'll get sick of constantly being arrested -- or Gasp!, being 'harassed'(lol). And get tired of posting all that cash, it does add up even for dope slingin' carer criminals. After a few of these raids they'll get the hint that the city really IS sick and tired of their bullshit. That Law Enforcement has a target on their backs and this time they mean business.
Bu Tiny Dancer has to have your backs. He's got to man up and tell the whiners to eat shit and die, these lowlifes are ruining the city for everyone. So F--k You ACLU, we'll see you in court. No more settling bullshit lawsuits, the Ghetto Lottery has ended.
My guess---One time deal.
so these were 88 NEW warrants?....that just happened to be viable at the same time, to be executed under this weekends OT for almost everyone initiative.....
Anyone ever ask the racial makeup of the "Subject List?"
You put hundreds of extra police on the street and what did you expect. Every district needs more police but we also need bosses who use the extra manpower wisely. The public does not know how stupid most of our bosses are. They never did real police work and the ones who did do real police work are afraid they will lose their job if they speak up.
Wow! So it is possible to tamp down the violence! All you need is to target the right people on the regular and hire thousands more police officer and man 10-4 units allowing them to actually patrol and be proactive.
This means the intentional blood letting by the mayor is on purpose and he is blaming it on the trust of the police.
Middle finger to you mayor.
Boy from condemning, indicting, threatening to indict, stripping one week to sporting full page photos of the Real Police sporting carbines with orange thingies in the Trib. All in the space of a week. Only in Chicago.
Remember Boyo's. They "have your back".
Gee media,rahm,eddie,leo,johnny and the rest could the reason be more police on the streets? Could it be a total failure (again) of our mayor to hire and keep us safe? Strangely rahm left early Friday where who knows, but it sure seems when the excrement rises he hides out! Wonder when hillary goes down since rahm was there also will he be brought in and sat down? Whats the old saying "a fish stinks from the head down" correct mayor? Your game of hide and seek is really getting old!
How many of the 88 were white or Amish?
Smoke and mirrors And the thugs know it. They will be calm this weekend. They don't want to loose their pistols. Look at our numbers for persons shot on Tuesdays for the last month. 15 every Tuesday. They will lay low this weekend start up again on Tuesdays like they did for the last month. They know that our manpower will be back to normal. A tremendous amount of money spent to baby sit every corner of the city.

@@@@
Don't worry it's just the scared dogs on the job who want chaos and death. The majority of them have never done a lick of police work in their career. Dogs will be dogs. You hear them everyday at roll call quoting "the blog" (no offense SCC) and hey jackass and spewing garbage about how everyone is getting jammed up for anything you do.
Oh I get it...flood the entire city with police (cancel days off) and crime can go down.
Why not hire 2000 more officers this year and another 2000 in 2017.
Bring manpower up to safe levels or just keep the bad guys in jail for a year.
In about two days we'll hear how effective Lil Eddie's war on crime was such a success and how bad of a financial burden it was on the Depts petty cash box.
I hear the Lt'$ are doing well.
Be safe.
So we spend millions to chase down and lock these guys up to keep them from killing....themselves?
That's what total Democratic control has brought this city. Remember that at election time. Remember that property tax bill you just got the other day too. When will it change? When we change the politicians that run this berg.
It's just all districts went to 12 hour days; days & midnights and afternoons started at 1600 hours, the afternoon coppers were put on foot post on the lake front and city parks. So it makes it seem like you have more police but all you are doing is fanning them out very thin. Just all for looks citizens Rahm & strip-tease-supt. Are all about deceiving people.
Holy Shit.......What will the Rahmulans do now ? The cat is out of the bag so to speak....
More Cops equals less Gang Violence and More arrested Documented Gang Memebers means less shootings.............
So more cops as opposed to less works ?
And locking up Gang members means less shootings ?
So we need more Cops ? And we need Gang Bangers in jail ?
So it's not the "evil" guns ?
And Cops are the Good Guys ?
So Chiraq residents and CPD should be proud because for one holiday weekend, the usual massacre is a little less than normal? You people are all in your own little dellusional World. No Wonder everybody laughs at you and your Banana Republic City.
That is the proof , Chicago needs the 2,000 Police Officers that were taken out of the budget put back in the budget ASAP .
It looks like Jesus "Chuy"Garcia was right about stopping violence and Edfie Johnson is right by putting a band aid on the problem by cancelling days off . Reduce alderman , 3 men light bulb changers , 3 man garbage truck crews and eliminate middle management . Hire some Police Officers now , save our city .
Hold me till November and do it again next June!
Did Eddie "The Stripper" Johnon call ja'mal green and get these raids authorized? If not I bet ja'mal called the stripper and asked why he didn't get notified. Hey SCC what is the over/under on CPD overtime expenditures this holiday weekend?
Hey SCC, reading that new book Crisis of Character written by the SS officer.
Page 11, "second-guessing someone else's split-second decisions in hindsight is cowards work." Rahm and Eddie need to read this book, along with a host of others, such as Zimmermans prosecutors.
FL Resident
Slackers
Lets see how many of the parolees get revoked. IDOC is a joke, they don't like to revoke, because it looks bad. As a retired ISP who worked narcotics we would arrest a parolee for delivery and they would refuse to revoke. We had one case where the States Atty called IDOC and said he would call media if they didn't take acy=tion. Within 1 hour the paperwork was sent to revoke. It's called politics.
Retired ISP
3 major terrorist attacks in 1 week during their "holy month" this is no game these scumbags are ready to kill, in Indonesia and turkey many police officers were killed and many injured! Eddie please stop having your "eyes wide but shut" your noticing this weekend so far thugs and illegal invaders shootings are down correct? Would the reason for that be possibly more police on the streets? Eddie if you and the guy running beside you holding your cape johnny, actually told the media we need thousands of police officers hired in chiraq asap, and that the academy could be utilized 24/7, we could crank them out! Now for you pandering rahm "peek a boo" we see right through you. Rahm take the billions your using for some crazy idea of your legacy, the bike park,the green space,depaul etc..put it all into policing! Next stop playing with our money deposit it immediately in the pension fund for police as you duped the taxpayers you already blamed police now do it!

NEWS RELEASE

For Immediate Release

Off-Duty CPD Officer Renders Aid to Injured Cyclist
CHICAGO – Earlier this morning, at approximately 9:45 a.m., an off-duty Chicago Police Officer (Officer Sean Hayes) was driving on the 3500 block of North Damen Ave when he observed a female motorist open her car door in the path of a 21 year old male cyclist. The cyclist collided with the car door with significant force, causing a laceration to his neck. The officer immediately stopped to render aid and, seeing that the victim was losing a large amount of blood from his wound, was able to utilize his specialized LEMART training and treatment kit to apply pressure to the cyclist's neck with a bandage and stemmed the bleeding until Chicago Fire Department personnel could arrive on scene.
The injured cyclist was subsequently taken to Illinois Masonic Hospital, where he is currently listed in serious but stable condition. The traffic crash remains under investigation.

All days off canceled, every officer allowed to work ot. A huge old s hoop raid of zero tolerance.
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
I am sure none of that is related to the lower crime stats for the weekend
ABC nightly news said "In Chicago an extra 5000 officers on duty today". Really? From where?
See how easy that is?
Tom Skilling was a big help this weekend, but big operations can work but are real expensive both in terms of OT and manpower. They are not sustainable. Two solutions hire more police and keep the justice involved individuals in jail. Both political beyond the control of the police department.
It's just all districts went to 12 hour days; days & midnights and afternoons started at 1600 hours, the afternoon coppers were put on foot post on the lake front and city parks.

Kudos are warranted for Supt. Johnson and the dedicated officers who have made these successful raids possible.
We need a lot more of this to send a proper message to the lowlifes who are destroying Chicago. Great news!
Sounds like candidates for internment and reeducation camps. Good idea.
Imagine that: Arrest and take "the list" thugs off the street and homicides go down...
Off-duty Chicago cop helps cyclist after crash
"The swift actions of an off-duty Chicago police officer may have saved the life of a bicyclist seriously wounded after a violent crash Sunday morning on the city's North Side.
"Sean Hayes, a Chicago Police Department firearms instructor, was driving with his 6-year-old son around 9:45 a.m. Sunday in the 3500 block of North Damen Avenue in Roscoe Village when he spotted a young man who appeared dazed and was holding a hand to his neck.
"I asked him if he was OK," Hayes said. "Then, all of a sudden, blood came out of his neck. He said, 'Help! I'm hurt.'"
"The 21-year-old man had been riding his bicycle to work when he crashed into a car door that opened in his path, completely folding the door against the front of the car. At some point during the wreck, an edge of the car door apparently clipped the cyclist's neck, causing him to bleed profusely.
"Hayes, a 16-year veteran, managed to collect his thoughts, retrieve a medical kit from his car and apply a pressure bandage on the victim's neck.
"The big thing was keeping him calm," Hayes said. "He was looking for answers. 'Am I hurt? Am I going to be OK?' I said, 'Yeah you're going to be fine.' I said, 'You're going to have a little scar, and you got a little blood on you, but you're going to be fine.'
"The lady (driver) involved was hysterical and not making things easy, so I chose a difficult bandage for her to open up and work on and kept her busy with that," Hayes continued.
"Minutes later, an ambulance arrived to relieve Hayes, who was wearing shorts and a Hawaiian-style shirt. The victim was rushed to Illinois Masonic Medical Center, where he was in serious but stable condition.
"Sunday's accident was the first time Hayes said he had to render aid. He credits medical techniques he learned from a voluntary first-aid course for Chicago police officers.
"You never think you're going to need it," Hayes said. "I certainly didn't. I just happened to be at the right place at the right time."
"While Hayes downplayed his medical training, saying not to mistake police officers for paramedics or EMTs, Hayes' son, Cole, offered another title for his father.
"My son thought it was great, 'My dad is a hero,'" Hayes said."

Jeez, I want out of this shithole so much.

Listen buddy I am a garbage man with the City and I would like to see you do my job as a one man its dangerous and that puts more stress on the worker. We need the 3 man crews in this city 2 are laborers and one is a driver. In certain neighborhoods it takes 35 to 45 minutes sometimes an hour to get through some of those alleys. Citizens throw anything out in their alleys and we have to pick everything up. Drive thorough some of the alleys and see what we have to deal with, We are pushed to bust are ass all day long out there in any weather conditions. GPS is on at all times and the great citizens of this city watch us just like they watch you. Streets and sanitation is a different budget from the police budget also. I'd like to see you do my job you'd probably quit after one day. I 100 percent support the police the money is there to hire more police but the city would rather use the money else where.
We can keep the 50 alderman but they should take a pay cut and if they don't agree to a pay cut than we cut them down.
I have nothing to say about the 3 man light crew because I've never done their job.
Thanks for keeping the lid on the boiling pot we call a city. To bad you don't have the numbers to keep the lid shut. Anyway thanks to the officers that do there job not so much for the dogs.
Where I live, the garbage truck is a ONE MAN operation. That's right, one man does everything. The only reason Chicago has three man garbage crews is because the Democraptic machine likes three votes more than they do one.
Are they still scheduling these silly CUSTOM NOTIFICATIIONS on the SSL guys? That's when u waste time and resources to go to their house and tell them to please knock it off or else ... Problem is there is "or else" - no consequences if they don't knock it off. Waste of time- but federal $$ involved - so someone getting paid ...
Task Force Mission, 1969: A District Commander requests a mission, or more likely stats drive the missions.
Night #1. Roll call, hit the street in the lucky district. Lock up everything that moves. When the District lockup fills, ship the miscreants to Central Detention.
Night #2. Dudes still don't have the message, repeat night #1.
Night #3. Flowers are blooming, birds are singing, young couples holding hands while strolling down the street. It worked then, but it seems somewhere along the line, we became the targets instead of the heavy hitters.
Oh yeah, night #4? Repeat Night #1, new district.

Not a garbage man here.
The garbage guys in Chicago are the BEST.
It's by far the best city service we have. And Daley was and Rham is doing his best to privatize it so his pals could get the contracts for it.
Look what happened to the Water dept. with all the privatization. Three days to come out to a broken water main in the summer,(I witnessed it).
THAT'S RIGHT, JUST KEEP LETTING COPPERS WORK all this overtime, cancel days off, see how healthy this is, do a check on the stress this puts on thier minds and body, how many marriages are stressed. Young officers developed very bad habits quickly. We don't have a whole bunch of senior Sgts. Left out there to manage these officers. Sure the money is great and shootings are down this weekend but it is only a bandaid. Chicago used to be a decent city and folks used to enjoy visiting and spending g money here, but after I spent 49 yrs on this job I spend time out of this olace. I still live here but it is my choice for my own reasons. HIRE MORE COPPERS AND RETURN OUR GUYS TO POLICING BUT THEY NEED A LEADER AND EDDIE AND JOHN ARE NOT THE TOP 2 COPS TO DO THIS. THEY ARE SHEEP, WE NEED A WOLF.

Where I live, the garbage truck is a ONE MAN operation. That's right, one man does everything. The only reason Chicago has three man garbage crews is because the Democraptic machine likes three votes more than they do one.

Well, where I live, the trucks are a three-person operation. Chicago picks up couches, mattresses, yard waste, appliances, whatever is left in the alley. There's no scheduling bulk pick-ups and 'big items excluded' and 'ew, I won't touch that'. When basements flood, the crews work their asses off, picking up all the cast off debris.
Lucky you, you live elsewhere. Here, it makes sense to do it the way we do it.
