More Money Located!
- Mayor Rahm Emanuel wants to boost spending to combat opioid and heroin abuse — and license pharmaceutical representatives to prevent the over-prescription of opioids.
A $700,000 investment in drug-treatment programs — a 50 percent increase over current funding — will be directed first to “opioid treatment deserts,” which have a disproportionate level of addiction and are largely concentrated on the West Side.
Seriously? "Opioid treatment deserts"? Who the fuck came up with that phrase? Working VRI, we've seen countless ambulances saving junkies with Narcan or similar injections. We've seen shooting galleries where the syringe is taped to the wall. Among the Medical District hospitals within a five mile radius of 012, they go through enough "opioid treatments" to float a boat.
All this money to save people who poison themselves and create massive crime and disorder issues.
Tell you what (and we've said this a dozen times here and elsewhere), it's a self solving problem if you leave it be - junkies OD, junkies die, property crime in these communities heads downward, and the dope trade dries up. And for the bleeding hearts who decry our cold-hearted attitude, we've personally known junkies and the havoc they wreak upon their families and friends is indescribable.

Wait a minute.
I thought recreational use of drugs was a personal choice for which people took full responsibility and in which the government had no business meddling.
Our own president believes selling drugs is not a crime, no matter how big a dealer you are: http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2016/10/06/obama-commutes-xx-more-sentences/91685468/
Fuck junkies, let 'em OD and die,,,,get those leaches from society off the payroll
I have no sympathy for them

Ive always said, Give it to them free but dont resuscitate them. 6 months Problem solved
If they want me to carry Narcan while working, I will lose it the first day.
Offtopic....funny how now after years and years of the fop not touching the illegal residency requirment there going to go after it for our next contract , only after the aclu is showing intrest and taking on cases against the city for it. amazing how that works. So many Years the city has been "taking care" of the union guys so they wont bring it up, looks like they dont have a choice anymore. The sad part is they will take credit when its lifted
"the havoc they wreak upon their families and friends is indescribable."
And I'm going thru another episode.
SCC You are so right on this issue.
Folks (people) an addict can only chose to save themselves. I repeat, an addict can only chose to save themselves.
Blood connection, friend connection, you are wishing death to yourself because you cannot stand it; Thy will be done.
Another DUMB program that does NOTHING to eradicate the problem AND the problem people.
And they don't even vote. So why? Let them die. It's win win win.
What a sad commentary on these times we live in. Rahm Emmanuel wants to take care of the scum but not the police. Today the unsigned letters from the Department of Finance (apparently Finance Chairman & Alderman Ed Burke did not want his name associated with this) went out informing the police retirees that their city subsidize health insurance is ending on 31 Dec 16. The letter says Blue cross has three plans of you are Medicare eligible. You must make a decision between 15 Oct and 7 Dec 16. The letter says you should explore and compare all options before making a decision. But of course the city did not include any of the information on the plans or how much more you are going to pay. I figure in the future, with the way the city treats its employees and retirees, and the rate it's going now, the next letter will be the about the diminishment of the pensions!
I'm rewatching The Wire. Mid-season 3, a commander takes it on himself to create needle parks and chase the druggies into them. David Chase, to his credit, shows how it doesn't work. Animals just be animals and their shit just spills back into the rest of the city. The Bubbles of the world keep on stealing and robbing to support their habits.
Geneva Switzerland gave up on their Needle Park a long time ago.
Chase has a couple of youtube videos expounding on decriminalization but even he knows it isn't going to work with H and meth.
God help the residents of Chicago.
Rahm is a punk ass bitch, his pandering is limitless. Is there a single democrat out there with even a tiny grasp of reality.
Eh, he could not find lint in his pocket with all 9 fingers he gots... He is more than likely taking from from the mentals trough, and moving to the junkies trough... I bet all his buddies plates of those Fortune 500 companies who deal city contracts are the fattest swine at the the table tho.
Does Rahm doctor brother get s cut?
If the junkies die, they will vote.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Rahm start paying into our pensions you fucking mutt!!!
Self-destructive people who bring nothing to society shouldn't be prevented from eliminating their drag coefficient.
There's been a ton of studies that show treatments now and in the past do not work. The exception, the person being treated wants to quit and stop usage. Other then a person wanting to quit, the addict usually stops around the mid and late 40's, but starts on an alcoholic path. Take the money's and use it for something else, because it's a waste of time.
My theory: everyone should get one rehab stint, free of charge, and on the taxpayer dime. But after the first relapse, the jerk is put in front of a firing squad. And yes, I have addicts in my family. I'm done with all of them.
-Not a cop
Its all about creating another batch of high paying jobs for the connected few.
So they want us to administer Narcan and save a junkie for for free....but an Epi pen to save a child from allergic reaction which could result in death cost $600???
the ballerina almost lost to an unknown , might have won because the dead vote .
get the petitions out to reduce aldercreatures by 60% .
80% of the heroin comes across our Southern border. Vote Trump 2016
When addicts hear that a lot of people are checking out around a certain tip, they rush there before that good s__t run out.
Heroin, with fentanyl (100 times stronger) with maybe carfentanyl (100 times stronger than fentanyl, used to anaesthetize elephants)...the Chinese pharmas are pushing out carfentanyl at $2700/kilo, no questions asked. Just don't inhale a speck.
Hope you scobes out there are getting your money's worth.
Like the ants who suddenly come swarming up to the fourth floor, hang around five minutes, and then vanish just as quick when the population becomes unsustainable, this would be a self-limiting problem if it were left alone.
...and an old guy with a terrible neck/back sprain, who cannot even get out of the house right now, suffers like hell because of the lack of a few mild Norco tablets. Not even high-security fax-in prescriptions anymore, no refills ever, have to drag yourself to the doctor's, drag yourself to the pharmacy -- there to be greeted with vast suspicion, computer checks, Xerox your ID, etc., etc., etc.
I don't think we even have any O.T.C. Tylenol here...digging in the bottoms of drawers...
Something tells me we're going about this the wrong way.
Did the runt say that junkies are one of the city's greatest untapped resources, too?
Wow Rahm must be a "genius" cause he's always able to find money for his nonsense pet projects. Yet when it comes time for money that he's legally, and morally, obligated to pay well he always seems to cry poor and come up broke.
Junkies lives matter-Black lives matter-Thugs lives matter-Criminals lives matter-Illegal immigrants lives matter. The hard working middle class people who pay for everything for every shithead in this country don't matter. Wake up and take a stand before its too late.

Someone keeps posting this from their mother's basement. Billy Dougherty is the last President and he is working in patrol. Mikey Shields is the last elected President and he is also working in patrol. Markie Mark Donahue was living high for 9 years as FOP president. He is working part time as a security guard.
Oh the bleeding heart liberals. Why and how can we allow these folks, with no opportunity, have to suffer?
It's the crackheads option to choose, high or die. Ghetto attrition applies to dope selling thugs as well.
For starters:
Build That Wall. Drugs being shipped openly across the Border thanks to NAFTA.
End the Sanctuary City refuge.
Actually put criminal drug sellers in jail and not release them (because drug dealing is not a violent crime).
NO Drugs = NO Overdosing.
Stay Fetal - Job 1 Self Preservation
Please don't insult animals by calling these things animals. Lets all think of a better descriptive word or phrase we can use as the standard description of this ilk and any other subspecies behavior.
We REALLY need to start letting Darwin do his job in this country.
Im utterly shocked and dismayed that the Mayor believes that the health and welfare of Chicago's junkies is vastly more important that the health and welfare the Chicago's retirees Police Officer's and Firefighters. Shocked!
One more reason to vote for Trump. If I ever vote for another Democrat in my lifetime I should be struck down by blinding lightening bolts!
Liberals continue terming addiction a disease.
It's NOT a f'ing disease.
Cancer is a disease, injecting a needle in ones arm is a choice!!
Don't interfere with Darwin's theory of natural selection and we'll all be better off.
rahm the tutu wearing ballerina treasurer hunting skills are legendary, obviously chiraq has billions put away for back door 'gimme thats envelope" special projects, but for the police health care or funding the police pension he says he is broke! When you put a so called in that mayors office with no actual work skills this is what we get. the insane part is watching the high taxed lemmings in the criminally infested areas like lincoln park and downtown dutifully pay their taxes and give tutu wearer big donations! Expect more of this if you want "law and order" and civility brought back to make America great vote Trump if not you get what you get same shit only worse!
I'd bet this program is for his Kid and that College Councillor he was supposedly meeting that one late night.

Won't make a difference if Residency is deep sixed. City can still require you to purchase a City Sticker to park in an Employee Lot.
Let the free market and nature take their respective courses. Problem solved by Darwin.
The letter says Blue cross has three plans of you are Medicare eligible. You must make a decision between 15 Oct and 7 Dec 16.
===========
Employer provided health insurance almost always ends when you become eligible for medicare. Unless the City has an unusually generous plan for retirees, you pretty much have to go on medicare when you become eligible. So it is not like you are out anything that you would not have been out anyway.
What probably changed was the city subsidies for retirees who are not yet eligible for Medicare.
Biggest joke is that they pay zero taxes and we will give them more money and more support.
. The government doesn't need to be involved in an addicts personal life.
I tend to see a lot of fat & morbidly obese people/folks in the "food desert". I expect no shortage of junkies either. GFY, Mr Mayor.
lol, well, guess the previous Opioid Treatment Centers in da'Hood got burglarized, vandalized, robbed, looted etc so often that they up & "Desert"ed da'hood leaving it a Desert....These new ones won't last 6 months. Just another democrat party funding of the Open Sewer Society that is there Alinskyite Utopia
I know somebody will give me shit for this, but government should fund drug rehab centers for those who want it. As police most could give a shit less if addict live or die. But look at it from the police officers who have dealt with having children who are addicts. Many of us have lost our children to drug related deaths and suicide. For most, drug addiction is a disease. Many addicts suffer from depression or are bi-polar. They self medicate. There is no help for many who want to get treatment for the addiction and mental illness. The only places that are available for help without health insurance are the shitholes where they send court ordered programs, where these people have no intention of getting clean. Those who are there to try to get clean don't have a chance because all the court ordered assholes do everything to just start arguments. I along with other coppers have lost a child to drugs. Do I blame the addicts? No. I blame the courts, judges and legal system who instead of waging war on the dealers and suppliers, go after the addicts who are drawn in to drug use and can't get help. Even most cops go after the users for a court date. Addiction is a disease and it is hereditary. I have seen that first hand. So before you say fuck these junkies, let them die, some of them are the children or family members of your brothers and sisters in blue. Some may even be our fellow police officers. It doesn't just affect those who live in Englewood or Austin, it affects those in every walk of life. So maybe sometimes a little compassion is in order.
A hard working person with insurance who may be an alcoholic or addicted to some sort of narcotic, seeking to get help and get better.
Would run out of insurance very quickly and not be eligible for treatment after their insurance runs out. No one kicks on their first try. If your a uninsured junkie that hasn't contributed anything to society, you get all the try's you need.
Vote straight republican
Democrats give away the working class tax dollar to drug addicts , gang bangers , illegals , no show workers , in sweet heart contracts but refuse to take care of men and woman of all races that retired from the city of Chicago .
So in other words, Rahm the Commie can take care of everyone except his own Retirees... The man's a disgrace for a Mayor.
K-9 officers use to carry narcan for there dogs, do they still do?
Let's give out free Narcan pens without a prescription to anybody bcuz God forbid these drug abusers die because then what would the world do without them but let's charge $600 for an Epi pen for somebody who has life threatening allergies!

The genius is that he is able to find front money for projects that line his pockets and the rest of the Democommunists while kicking the obligations to us down the road. The teachers on the other hand will protest, they will strike and they will support candidates and they will VOTE!
Now IF the leadership of the FOP was not bought off they would rally every cop and all the other unions to turn out on Election Day.
I don't hear that. Why not Deano?
