Rahm's Nightmare
- Peter Fabbri was one of the hardest workers at Matt Lativsky's coating business in the western suburbs.
He's also the main reason Lativsky no longer wants to visit downtown Chicago after police say his friend was shot dead over the weekend near Millennium Park by a man with a long record of gun arrests.
"I take my family into the city quite often, but I'm at the point where I'm ready to boycott the city of Chicago," said Lativsky, who lives in Glen Ellyn. "That someone can't go to Millennium Park -- with someone who should be in jail, with a warrant, 39 arrests, two times for pointing a gun into someone's face -- this scumbag is out on the street when he should be in jail.
"Instead, he's got an illegal gun, and now my friend is dead, his life is gone," Lativsky said.
Rahm has been downsizing the Department for years now, accelerating the decline Shortshanks started via non-hiring, then cutting the budgeted manpower and claiming a savings - a saving that resulted in no rebate to taxpayers, but rather a redirection of funds. Chicago is reaping a bloody harvest that isn't slowing down anytime soon, and may speed up once the teachers go on strike and there isn't studying to occupy the masses.

The liberal way
You mean the masses of Amish youth actually study? Are you trying to fun me?
It amazes me that people in the burbs are so oblivious to the violence happening in the so called good neighborhoods now. Cant even go to a Cubs game or downtown anymore without fear of something going sideways. Getting out by nightfall isn't even a good plan anymore.
About time MORE people start to boycott the city.
Make that the city AND the county. Tax revenues? Better find it in the ghetto.
Wait til people stop coming down to restaurants, sporting events, concerts, tradeshows, and shopping.
Can't happen? Guess again.
AND - you better get off your collective asses and vote that Republican State's Attorney in. That would at least be a start in getting some better people in running the government.
OT: not a cop. Police support and morale is at an all time low. Cops and criminals are both more violent than ever. Each side has reason to hate the other. The burden, though, is placed on the majority, the public.
As a resident of 16 th district, I must say I understand why CPD support is dwindling.
I'm not the only one. You all know that.
Now here is your problem: you are facing major questions about pension and safety. In order for your wishes to be met beyond necessity, you must learn to appease politicians. Realize that MANY people read this blog, and your thoughts and opinions. Those "alder creatures" really are more important , and more importantly, influential than any CPD officer. They will always take the side of their residents (to keep their post).
If you want political and public support, you MUST change your ways. Realize that a fetal position is not going to help you. Either is being over aggressive. You need to learn to be realistic, and human. Don't mess with people who don't deserve it. When someone walks into a station the officers should be more professional than a grocery cashier. Unfortunately, that is nearly never the case. Don't double park and block up main streets to chat. (County prosecutors should never lose a case. If arrests are proper, professional, and within the means of the law, this would be the case.) No one thinks that is cool, or acceptable. You get what I'm saying. Respect is taken, not earned. If you want respect act in a way that leaves the population no choice but to respect you. (If you are not sure, find the definition of respect). You are not above the public, and in fact are less educated than most.
In closing, act in a way that will make educated, law abiding citizens truly care for you.
PS I know this is not 100% pro cop but I'm serious and should be heard by much of the CPD. If you're a cop and have any backbone you will take this to heart. Although, if history repeats itself (again), there will be alot of belly aching and a few tears.

Glen Ellyn is a nice burb.... Punch barber shop is only 40 min away from home and they do an excellent job of cutting my hair... all their barber's are master barber's and when I walk out I don't have to worry about getting shot.
I call "bs" on the reported set of circumstances that led up to the shooting. There were/are photos of Peter Fabbri flashing gang signs on his Facebook page. Arthritis of the hands perhaps? The story is now Fabbri and his girlfriend and his sister were confronted by a group of people handing out religious literature. The alleged shooter shot him over a discussion of religion. Yeah right. Fabbri's own family and friends described him as being a loudmouth and a hothead. There was a photo on Facebook that showed a note taped outside Fabbri's hospital room on a previous hospitalization warning staff that Fabbri was a deep sleeper who was violent when "woken up.". My guess is that this was an incident involving street rivals.
I admit that these numbers may be wrong and things can change. But look into it.

As to healthcare costs (Blue Cross/Blue Shield, etc.) and what you have to pay - welcome to the world everyone else lives in.
ANYONE who gets their healthcare paid for - with little or no money taken out of their check needs to wake up to the fact that healthcare COSTS a LOT OF MONEY.
If you voted for Obama in the last two elections or failed to go vote, stop whining and pay the bill.
Maybe now you will start voting in elections. The right choice - Trump.
This is the end, The end, My Friend.
Rahm don't give a Fuck about you!!!!
Uncuff the Cops!
But downtown has to be safe. It is the cultural and shopping district. It is the last place one would expect to encounter a thug or criminal type.
Shorties demolition of all the projects has to be factored into the equation also.
Hey 12:50, Go Fuck Yourself
What about all the crime and violence stats such as rape, robberies, burglaries, PSMV etc...etc...etc.. are they like at 10k or something all statistics matter...
Hey ot not a cop; There is no such thing as law in Chicago, its been thrown out the door by the courts on thousands of cases so what do u do when u do your job and enforce what is law, then your thrown under the bus...No good when the entire system fails citizens and cops are the Blame....
9/28 at 1:03am-you call bull shit all you want stupid. I will stick with the facts too: an altercation occurred in the sacred loop and a guy with 39 arrests, two prior gun beefs pulls a gun out again and shoots an unarmed man in the chest and after a momment or two of thought, again in the head. Then a woman with him aids and abets his escape and I hear nothing about battery or other charges against her. So what is up with that? That bitch should be locked up and her kids in DCFS custody. What about her? Who is she? Is she on parole too? Did that team forget about her or did I not read about her arrest? That enviornment is no place to be shooting a gun. You are an idiot and part of the problem.
Blah blah blah... I'm a moron with no sense of reality... blah blah blah...
PS I know this is not 100% pro cop but I'm serious and should be heard by much of the CPD. If you're a cop and have any backbone you will take this to heart. Although, if history repeats itself (again), there will be alot of belly aching and a few tears.

Your entire post is completely idiotic and shows just how little you understand about the police. It is full of inaccurate and ridiculous opinions that you're attempting to present as fact. You're a moron who fails to realize just how uninformed and biased you really are. Any cop with half a brain, which you seem to think is all we have, knows enough to see how out of touch your views are. If you want to try to "fix the police," start by educating yourself. You're utterly clueless and somehow convinced that your viewpoint represents the majority. You can take your opinions and shove them straight up your ass where they originated. Not 100% pro cop? I didn't find anything in your post that suggested you have any positive feelings about the police at all. Learn to shut the fuck up when you don't know what you're talking about. People will think you're almost as smart as you think you are if you just keep quiet. The dumbest thing you posted was that cops are more violent than ever. Then you followed it up by saying we're "fetal." Your inability to see that both of those can't be true tells us all we need to know about you.

His dumbass niece or whoever the fuck she is that started the gofundme to pay for his "burial" cremation has one of those fine upstanding Latin kings among her Facebook friends. I'm guessing ol' Pete had similar "friends." Not a chance in hell that this wasn't gang related on both sides. There aren't a lot of actual innocent victims of gun violence in this city. Most "victims" are violent criminals, gang members, or their friends and family members. Most of them are just as likely to be an offender as they are a victim.
100 deaths is worth the flowers and trees along lake short drive...
in response to the anonymous by "OT: not a cop" you have no idea what it is to be a police officer. By the way, only jagoffs use the term "cop". The day you walk in my shoes then you can talk otherwise shut the hell up. All I see is police held to a higher standard while pieces of shit like yourself are allowed to act any way you want. Respect goes both ways so take your black lives matter ass and do something positive. As a matter of fact, where the hell is BLM black lives matter when blacks kill blacks, I guess it doesn't matter that much when they aren't shot by cops. You can also tell your friends to obey lawful orders and stop trying to cash in on the "ghetto lottery".
You can also talk to your liberal tree hugging friends and wake the hell up.
So called victim been locked up over 10 times.

You made valid points until you said that we are less educated than most. The dept is probably the most educated than it's ever been. Most have at least a bachelors degree, with many also having advanced degrees. We have people who are lawyers, have masters doctorates and PH.D. We also have people who are graduates of the fbi national academy, and the northwestern command and staff program. Our officers also have the best educational experience in the world: the street, something most will never have or understand. Shame on you for your assumption otherwise, it appears by your statement that you are the one who feels they are above others. Be careful not to fall off of your high horse.
Respectfully,
A 23 year veteran supervisor, who's educated...
Where is the money from the thousands of police officers who retired over the last 4 years? Where is that money from unpaid salaries ? Where is the DOJ on this matter? You can hire 2 officers in place of 1 retiree., this city should be hiring a minimum of 2,000 officers. The democrats don't want more police, they want the rights of gangbangers and shit like this killer to go unchecked, because of their constitutional rights. This country is going fast and citizens are fed up.
OT: not a cop.
You are one of the many fools feeding into the one-sided and liberal media rhetoric. No one wants to know what the police put up with on a daily basis, esp in the bad neighborhoods, only that is law enforcements fault. God forbid if anyone addresses the behavior that caused the encounter with the police.
One huge problem is that no one listens to police commands anymore, they do what they want, resist, run and / or run their mouth off.... The same thing they do at home and at school. There is no self control, no filter. It also happens in good neighborhoods, too. Try doing a traffic stop when the very articulate white kid refuses to give his driver's license and ins card to the officer for blowing a stop sign and starts to passively resist, run their mouths off, call daddy, etc. this not trusting the police is a passive-aggressive excuse for this generation to do what they want to do, no self control, personal responsibility, etc., and the dumb media feeds into this making it the police's fault, the teachers fault, etc. Get over yourselves and start acting as decent human beings and you will not have to deal or have any contact with the bad, fetal, lying police officer. You are the same people who are protesting with bandannas on your face, but when when your cell phone gets ripped off and you catch a punch in the face during the encounter, you call call those terrible police officers for help.
The South Loop is still a hot area. It is vibrant and full of energy. Values are going straight through the roof. As a result, development has gone further south, past 1800 South and development has also gone west.
You made your bed Rahmbo. Now lie in it.

Don't break the law and you won't be hassled. Don't act like an a hole and expect to be treated with respect. Simple. And if you think we are going to do our job based on appeasing the aldermen and politicians, you are out if your mind. And take your elitist over educated with no common sense attitude and shove it. If you know so much about how to do police work, why don't you sign up and show us how is done? Coward. Easy to criticize, but walk a mile in our shoes and get off your high horse. By the way, you are posting on a police blog. So don't expect kudos for your lame observations. Your post exemplifies the ignorance of civilians about police work. If you had a clue, you would be dangerous....
Loop area up for grabs. Police nowhere in sight. Don't blame them. Citizens got the city they wanted, now they can live with it.

Aldermen are really more important??? Actually, no they are not. They are the ones who act like they are above the law, not CPD. They are also supposed to serve the public, but only serve themselves and those few people they owe favors. If you live in 16 then you already know that your district is SEVERELY undermanned with regards to patrol officers and you can thank your omnipotent (fancy word we learned in school, and yes, even we have collegiate degrees too) aldercreature for that. You can also thank those fine aldercreatures for the majority of the incompetent, unqualified, disrespectful, and criminally inclined officers you complain about because 9 times out of ten, those undesirables are sponsored by political cronies running this city. No, officers are not more violent than ever, the media and your limousine liberal electorate propagandize officer involved lethal force incidents to garner votes from the minorities to keep their power. No officer ever wakes up in the morning thinking "oh boy, can't wait to go out and KILL someone today!" Can't say the same thing for all the gang banging, drug slinging animals who take selfies posing with dope, guns, and money and plaster them all over the internet. As far as those arrests and prosecutorial success rates are concerned, your state's attorneys goal is to win cases by any means so they can land nice spots later on (firm partner or circuit judge somewhere) so they often plea cases to lesser charges or refuse to prosecute unless there is video of the criminal act or a confession. In some cases, they want both or no charges will be brought, period. This has no bearing on how "proper" an arrest or case report was written. Prosecutors and judges are responsible for keeping criminals in jail. Often times because they do not do their job, repeat offenders are loose and eventually are met by violent encounters with associates or police; those encounters with the police are only ones given hours of media attention, of course.
You are obviously not a supporter of law enforcement, which is fine. Your whole post just about precluded responsibility from every other factor in the criminal justice system so I have serious doubt about your knowledge of it. You want to voice your displeasure about double parked squad cars, crusty and unprofessional desk officers, and other instances of bad behavior, fair enough. Understand this - we know who supports us, and they are not fair weather friends and family. They take the good with the bad, as we all have our unpleasant moments when we spoke a little too harshly, failed to show some empathy, or were just too quick to write that citation. We're human, and they know and accept this. So feel free to support your aldercreature, your local thugs, your church, your dog - whatever element your deem more worthy of your respect. And feel free to call them first when you hear that unfamiliar "bump" in the middle of the night.
unbelievable story ... God Bless
at least Preckwinkle had one less brown face in Cook County Jail though
The victim's friend is absolutely correct. Downtown Chicago is a cesspool for the ghetto rats that once occupied the south, west and north sides of the city any non-colored person is a potential victim to the verbal and physical assaults from these shit birds...meanwhile rahm continues to laugh at the tax payers
Yep and anyone who downgraded a crime can take some of the blame particularly FOP who said nothing about the blatant under reporting of crime which fed the fire of reducing the ranks because crime was down. What did it get us, less manpower equated to less safety answering the in progress or on view, less clearup because we were so overwhelmed that it was easiest to write a standard 2 line no leads or further info and suspend any and everything that wasn't close to home. And to top it off fewer contributors to our pension fund along with the lure of 55 and out and the search by some for a part timer to make up what they lost cause they didn't stick it out for 29 and a day, like the job is so damn tough that I just couldn't work (ha-ha) another couple of years if some ever worked. We can be and are our own worst enemies.
It's just the beginning....
"OT: not a cop" You think you understand what it's like being a cop, BUT YOU DON'T and until you walk a mile in our shoes you never will. I accept some of your criticism desk crews need to more helpful. As far as the corrupt politicians in Chicago, we should not be associated. It's funny, no make that sad to me that so many think they know the Police Officers job. But you are like the people at a hockey game yelling at the pro players when they can't even ice skate.

THANK YOU!
You see, I'm retiring in 6 months. I have been planing on moving out of the city ( and state) but at times started to doubt myself. I love the neighborhood I'm in, really feels like home. But then I read your post and, it's like I've seen the light!
After reading your post, I have no doubt that moving out of this liberal cesspool is not only the right idea, but THE ONLY idea that makes sense. My parents taught me that respect is earned, not given. In this liberal fantasy world you speak of, you list police at the bottom of the order. Someone who, when they complain about how a citizen acts towards them, they should just take it, because "it's part of the job".
You tell us also that police are not above the law. But neither are we below it. If you want to be treated in a respectful manner, then treat the officer you come in contact with the same way. So, in your own words, show a little backbone and treat others as you would like to be treated.
Retired with an IROCC card, offered bear tix for Sunday. Soldier Fields weapon policy for off duty/retired law Enforcement makes me say "no way". I am not going to put my self in harms way unarmed.
Can you imagine if white people did the black dollar thing? Without white earned dollars the nfl nba and so much of chiraq would be immediately bankrupt!

I went from thinking you were clueless to understanding that you just aren't very smart. Please do not vote or express your willfully ignorant opinion to anyone anywhere. You don't understand anything.
Sorry if your parents didn't clue you in on this. Too many parents concentrated on building their kids self esteem instead of teaching them anything. It's not your fault, it's your parents. Maybe they didn't have time. I don't know. It's not too late, though. You can try to educate yourself. Open your ears and listen to smart people. Maybe you can catch up. Good luck.

While it would be interesting to look into Fabri gang related yes or no.
It doesn't diminish the Chiraq reality. These bangers, thieves and crazies are all over the "Tourist spots". As a street savvy born Chicagoan I no longer go shopping on state/mich. It is full of the usual suspects waiting for an opportunity to Pounce! and good luck with that!
As a teacher, SCC I have to disagree with you on the studying. While there are many who study and will be successful. Many CPS students are there on business: drugs, sex, food, and other shenanigans.
This is a perfect opportunity for the DOJ to get some facts out, how many times was this felon stopped before the ISR reports were mandated and how many times has he been stopped since, since we only targeted minorities has the number of shooting risen in all races or in just the minority community. Trump however should get off the stop and frisk idea, that horse has left the barn and isn't coming back nope matter what.
1250AM- Quit posting_ You are long winded and living in an unrealistic reality of the real world. Your opinions are influenced by the democratic agenda. The pandering for BLM and black votes in general. You are obviously an over educated idiot since you can't shift through the bull shit the media throws at you on a daily basis both in print and video. Get a clue! Get out of your parents basement and get a real job sonny.
Gotta keep cutting the police and fire budgets to give more to the schools and welfare. That free breakfast, lunch and dinner year round isn't cheap especially since the contract has to be doubled just to take care of the friends and family. Ignore that the iLink cards also are given funds for those meal for the same children. Hey they are growing and eat a lot. It takes a lot of energy to sell drugs on the corner, perform stickups and burglary's and don't forget flashing those gang signs takes a lot of effort!
Stay fetal!
people need to start taking pictures of all the broken computers,crappy facilities and vehicles. fop where are u?
I'm kinda concerned about today's urban youth, since when does a 32 year old get his a$$ handed to him by a 54 year old...and how does this shooter already have 6 kids??
The Onion for probably the first time wrote a satire that was wasn't satire. Rahm does not care about crime in a particular area until he or some one of political influence is personally involved or challenged somehow.
Millennium Park and Downtown tourist locales will see an increase in "police presence" no matter the cost. Just like the pony show at the airports after an media worthy event. Even though Rahm's Media Network stifled most of the Millennium Park incident best it could, he's playing catch up now for the last remaining Indian Summer days.
Stay Fetal, the public may be finally questioning Rahm Emanuel's liberal policy towards feral super predators and lack of their incarceration.
Both were young men prone to what is called Intermittent Explosive Disorder. Couple that with impulse control and anti-social tendencies and you have a recipe for disaster. Its mental health issues. No amount of policing or Super Cop could have stopped this one. We need to wait for the facts on this one....
On DNAInfo's story on this somebody was kind enough to post Peter Fabbri's IDOC summary. Incarcerated four times since 1998 from what I can tell (didn't look too close), including once for violating an order of protection, and three for PCS (looked to be more than street level).
So aside from the offender in this being a first class jackass with SIX KIDS (WTF!!!), even the victim was a jackass. Maybe they knew each other from the joint or something.
Another comment there from a witness said Fabbri got into an argument with the guy, and even after the gun was pulled Fabbri was waving his arms around in the air yelling "shoot me, shoot me".
Basically, if this whole story got out, it would probably be even worse for the tourist industry.

It amazes me that people in the burbs are so oblivious to the violence happening in the so called good neighborhoods now. Cant even go to a Cubs game or downtown anymore without fear of something going sideways. Getting out by nightfall isn't even a good plan anymore.

Not blaming the victim here, but as he was leaving the wine tasting with his two companions he decided to stop and engage in a debate with a group handing out fliers and espousing views that didn't mesh with his own, which apparently started to get heated just as the shooter was riding by on a bicycle.
The dirtbag who shot him wasn't even part of either groups, but apparently got the fever seeing all the friction and decided to offer his own opinion in the form of a couple of shots to Fabbri.
My grandfather used to take me on day trips down to the loop when I was very young, this is going back to the mid 60s, and a couple of things I learned from him was never to accept fliers or pamphlets from strangers and definitely don't engage those strangers in a debate over whatever views they're espousing.
It was a good lesson then, and probably an even better one now. Again, the victim certainly didn't deserve to get shot dead, but if he had just walked on by that group in the first place then chances are very good he'd be alive today.
A street corner in the heart of the city, even in a supposed "safe" neighborhood, is no place to start getting into a heated discussion with people who you not only won't ever see again, but whose opinions you really won't change anyway.
Tragic, but avoidable.
Now rahm again attacking police now we are threatening immigrants:

Guess staying fetal is not enough Trump must win!
why would any surburbanite wanna actually go "into" Chicongo? Same with atlanta or many other USA terror cities. For your safety & your loved ones safety keep away from the list (the long, long list) of "Conquered" cities unless u r driven to victimization but for gosh sakes at least spare your children such grave & greivous Risk
The police command has to start answering too. Eddie in IAD is protecting his friends like the financial crimes detectives who refuse to interview victims. One actually admitted it's not required in a statement to IAD. Watch the news.
Leaving work last Friday, I saw some shorties riding their BMX bikes east on Washington, just west of Ogilvie. I thought to myself, stay clear of the loop and points east tonight, they are rolling in. Then, I thought I was being too judgmental. And then I read this article.
Wont help Chiraq was the focal point of the pres debate but what the hell Rahmster grew up in the burbs, and has repeatedly been called the worst mayor in a America. Rahm bring in more lifestyled douche bags from out of town, Crime is out of control and our pension will be broke if he doesnt hire 2000
To the OT not a cop......
Dear Mr. Citizen,
Let's start off with this first. My job is to protect you...nothing more, nothing less. I am not a trained psychologist, social worker, or sparkle fart generator. I am a police officer. I will pull you out of a burning building, stand in between you and an active shooter, or pull a crazed lunatic off you that is trying to beat the living hell out of you, or nowadays, eat your face off. I will even be cordial to you if you are cordial to me. However, I am not going to go out of my way to make your day. You may ask why? I will tell you. IT'S NOT MY JOB! You do realize that I deal with the worst society has to bring every, single day. I am not called to the house that is simply celebrating a birthday party or a graduation. I am called to the birthday party that ended up in a 7 year old getting shot and maimed or killed, or the graduation that ended up in one relative stabbing another to death. I am not stopping little old grandma walking down the street with groceries to see if she is committing a crime. If I did, I am sure grandma would be very nice to me. You see, I am stopping, wait for it, the worst society has to offer so they do not get a chance to prey on you. To say that most of these individuals are belligerent, nasty, vile, loathsome individuals is an understatement. So excuse me if I ain't little Mr. Sunshine when you encounter me. Most of my day is spent dealing with people who would literally kill me if given the chance to as long as they knew they wouldn't be caught. As for your statement about not losing a case if done professionally, give me a break. You sir are delusional. Do you watch the news? These hack judges that YOU help elect let more people go for absolutely no reason just because certain politicians have said there are too many people of color in prison, whatever that means. I have lost case, after case, after case, involving guns, drugs, or anything else you can imagine not because I didn't do my job professionally or correctly, but simply because THE COURT SYSTEM IS A JOKE! I'm sorry you haven't noticed that. As for disparaging the desk crew, gimme a break. They sit there and listen to goofballs ALL DAY LONG coming in for reports that they think they deserve, when in all reality, they should be sent away. This also goes back to my point of my job isn't to make your day more enjoyable, it is to make it safer. Oh, and as for political support. You can take that and shove that right up your...... These ALDERCREATURES are just that. Creatures. They get elected based on lies and empty promises. You think they actually give a rat's ass about their constituency? Ha. They care only about their salary, which I heard isn't all that bad for a part time job, and whatever other bribe or under the table deal they can make so they can live way above the means of the average citizen they ever so proudly serve. You think I am going to seek their approval? I rather sell my soul to Lucifer himself. The aldercreatures will never publically support us because it doesn't fit the narrative of today. So why bother. All in all sir, I will protect you as best as I can. That's my job. I will do it to the best of my ability. However, if you want someone to make you feel better about yourself, hop in your Toyota Prius with the COEXIST bumper sticker on the bumper, and go to the closet Democratic rally so the actor on stage can tell you all the happy stuff you want to hear, all the while you ignore what is REALLY going on around you. Take care. Oh yeah, I almost forgot. STAY FETAL. You wanted it, you got it. Now sleep in it.
P.S. If me being willing to risk my own life for you is not enough to earn your respect without me having to make your day better by being over the top nice is not enough, they you can keep your respect. I don't want it.
Stay Fetal, the public may be finally questioning Rahm Emanuel's liberal policy towards feral super predators and lack of their incarceration.
When a legit person calls the police do a thorough job, the public may be finally questioning why they need the police in the first place. They aint gonna blame Rahm when they call you. Over the years, I love when the biggest dog asses I work with beef about the police in 016 when they themselves are compelled to dial 911. Karma's a bitch look in the mirror. Treat people the way you expect you or your family members to be treated.
Do your job dont push the envelope but do whatever legally can to help. Remember legit people only call the police a couple times in their life and usually when they are the victims. They have no realistic idea of whats going on, we are hyper sensitive to the politics of the day, make a friend not an enemy. We myself included are going to have to change our attitudes to survive this purge. You might as well start acting/ practicing like you are on camera now because its coming. This shit show is already looking to be a disaster. If you are not leaving you are going to be forced to adapt and change. Dont look to the Dept to train you either.
OT: not a cop. Police support and morale is at an all time low. Cops and criminals are both more violent than ever. Each side has reason to hate the other. The burden, though, is placed on the majority, the public.
As a resident of 16 th district, I must say I understand why CPD support is dwindling.
I'm not the only one. You all know that.
Now here is your problem: you are facing major questions about pension and safety. In order for your wishes to be met beyond necessity, you must learn to appease politicians. Realize that MANY people read this blog, and your thoughts and opinions. Those "alder creatures" really are more important , and more importantly, influential than any CPD officer. They will always take the side of their residents (to keep their post).
If you want political and public support, you MUST change your ways. Realize that a fetal position is not going to help you. Either is being over aggressive. You need to learn to be realistic, and human. Don't mess with people who don't deserve it. When someone walks into a station the officers should be more professional than a grocery cashier. Unfortunately, that is nearly never the case. Don't double park and block up main streets to chat. (County prosecutors should never lose a case. If arrests are proper, professional, and within the means of the law, this would be the case.) No one thinks that is cool, or acceptable. You get what I'm saying. Respect is taken, not earned. If you want respect act in a way that leaves the population no choice but to respect you. (If you are not sure, find the definition of respect). You are not above the public, and in fact are less educated than most.
In closing, act in a way that will make educated, law abiding citizens truly care for you.
PS I know this is not 100% pro cop but I'm serious and should be heard by much of the CPD. If you're a cop and have any backbone you will take this to heart. Although, if history repeats itself (again), there will be alot of belly aching and a few tears.
Pps this needs to be posted
The above poster was posted by someone who is totally clueless. You are belly aching about double parking on a busy street. You crying about being stopped for few minutes to conduct an investigation. Grow up you chump. Until you work as a police officer and deal with the criminal element on a daily basis your opinion means nothing. You have no clue of what you are spewing opinions about. Go back to your day job and stop acting like you are so smart. I have locked up many over educated criminals, doctors, lawyers , etc. So do not spew the over euducated bs. I realy don't give a shit about what you think of me because you sound like a real pompous ass hat, you over educated full. Stay in your ivory tower and keep voting democrat you tool. By the way next time you feel unsafe please do not call the undereducated police to protect your patsy ass.
"And there's no studying to occupy the masses"
hahahahahahahahaha... Surely you jest! They don't study NOW! What's a little strike gonna do to that?
All it will do is put the babies out on the street to cry and commit mayhem instead of containing it to the schoolhouse...
uggh, one more reason to avoid the City
Financial crimes has been a mess for a long time. Not enough dics and the ones who work there don't do shit. Supervisors are lazy and clueless. Once again, only a few who work and know how to investigate these crimes have to bear the burden of the entire unit.

Rahm says he needs all the new vehicles due to hiring 970 coppers! Hmm is that is addition to hiring the thousands that will be retiring over the next 2 years? Or as usual number fudges with creative math?
I will say this again we packed up the car with the the kids and headed 250 miles north of that hell hole. Three months later and we feel free. Let the colors change and the snow fall. Amen.
The victim was a Two Two Boy, if anyone bothered to investigate. His social media full of gang photos and throwing up hand signs.
Maybe they knew each other and decided to hash it out.
Those of you criticizing the OT: not a cop poster no doubt feel very smug and superior knowing you are "real police" and he's probably a very green suburban transplant. But there are a lot of him in this city, and they vote. And none of them have good experiences with the police, mostly for reasons that aren't your fault. But they don't see it that way, so it really doesn't matter.
Some day the pandering aldercreatures will realize that most voters frankly don't care if the police pension stays solvent. So they'll do the politically expedient thing and let it go bust, giving you pennies on the dollar. You'll find out the hard way just how useful the state constitution isn't in keeping your pension checks coming when there's no money to cover them. Still think the public's opinion doesn't matter?
"there isn't studying to occupy the masses"
HAHAHA ... that was a good one.
The Fabrini comments -- Finally. The story never made sense. The part about the sister going after the shooter -- this was pitched as a white suburbanite and family returning from a wine tasting. The perp had very odd tats. Just based on name/photo, I'm guessing he is PR. Seems like Latino gangs are less disorganized than black gangs -- so I hope that there was a message sent for them to keep it in their neighborhood.
There have been 2 homicides, YTD in the Loop, per the Tribune. Same as last year, total. The other Loop homicide was George Morgan, shot on Lake Shore Drive in vehicle, body dumped in Bronzeville. I recently started following homicides in Chicago. The Tribune Homicide map/list looks pretty accurate.
My interest is primarily only those homicides that involve white victims. Hey Jackass has aggregate statistics by race, which are probably pretty good. This year, 5% of homicides are listed as white. Of the ones I look at, some have high risk lifestyles. Or a murder/suicide or just odd. With all the bullets, a couple of whites caught a stray one. It should be easy to get this data (race=white), but its not easy. The DNA info 'timeline' lists the victims, but the listed 'race' is mostly wrong involving identification as white. I figure homicide data from the newspapers is pretty accurate compared to other statistics which are not as definitive. The other statistics?
The Charlotte family narrative has broken down. The wife was lying. They now have a restraining order signed by her a year ago, in which she swore that he had a 9mm. The guy had a very serious record. And now, they have traced the gun to a gun theft and found the guy who stole it and sold it to him. The family had a trial lawyer/spokesman early on. They got the jump on social media, lied their ass off, and damaged the city. Only after the ripped up the city did the family release the wife's cell phone video, which had the cop yelling 4 times to drop the gun. I can get a spit second decision, but mistaking a book for a gun 4 times? There was obviously a gun. Plus fingerprints and DNA. Maybe have more information 'leaked' by unofficial sources, early on? Especially public information about his records. It's public knowledge anyway, but takes a while to bubble up. The press likes information spoon fed. Best would be helping the press find an anonymous source who could attest to the guys character. He had to have some enemies. Or just make it up. Every 'victim' in these BLM cases -- their stories about being solid citizens, well loved, etc. -- they are breaking down. Its all sort of new, but liars get out front, backed by their trial lawyers and serious damage is being done until the truth comes out.
I found this the other day in Crime in Wrigleyville:
"Upon learning of Gregory Sims’ death, one long-time Uptown resident told us, “HOLY SHIT. [Sims has] been terrorizing Sheridan Park for the past few years. [Gregory Sims] is the older brother…This is going to be ugly.”
Rahm is calling those statements 'racist...'
If you have to go downtown for any reason, carry a fucken gun. During these times if you are not a concealed carry become one. Carry a gun period. I'd bet, once 8-10 bad guys get shot, the Mayor would crack down on the homeless mental's all over the Loop and surrounding area.
Friend just arrived back from 2 east coast cities and said 'Now I see how Chicago has become a ghetto citywide"
12:50, if you ever get a loud mouth swine in your face with a gun, don't call the undereducated police to help you out, call one of your liberal bed wetting friends.
BTW, I live in the 16th District and attended two recent police rallies. Most of the people going by honked in support of the 16th District officers.
I have an advanced degree, so does my retired CPD family member.
Thank you CPD for all that you do. Hoping for a better 2017 when Trump gets elected.
