Deadliest Weekend?
- The deadliest weekend of the year ended with 17 shot dead and at least 57 others wounded in what Police Supt. Eddie Johnson called a "tough" weekend for the city and the department.
The Friday-through-Sunday murder count rose to 17 Sunday after a man shot in Englewood Saturday afternoon died from his injuries. That leaves the late October weekend as the deadliest of the year and the worst weekend for murders since August 2002, according to shootings data compiled by DNAinfo Chicago.
"It was a tough weekend," Johnson said after a ceremony Monday morning for graduating new officers. "You would think people would be in a better frame of mind with the Cubs playing in the World Series."
Um.....why? We can count the number of Cub fans in Englewood in about 5 minutes. No one flies a "W" flag that we've seen, and the few we've seen on cars are just bare sticks with the material ripped off.
But while all of Third Watch was over in Wrigleyville, the hood went up. Special Ed is backing and filling as fast as he can:
But while all of Third Watch was over in Wrigleyville, the hood went up. Special Ed is backing and filling as fast as he can:
- Johnson said the heavy police presence in Wrigleyville did not impact police operations on the South and West sides, where much of the weekend's violence was concentrated.
"The communities that we typically see violence in, they didn't get shortchanged," he said. "We had adequate resources there. They [shooters] just don't care. I'm sick of it and I know the people in the communities are tired of it."
Really? So coppers working 5 and 6 days in a row, 12 hours at a time, with tactical teams shipped to the northside didn't have any impact on operations? Yeah, sure, the Beat Cars were manned, even some Rapid Response cars, and calls got answered. But the rest was - by Saturday - tired coppers.

A newly minted M.D. conducting her first appendix removal will have probably performed numerous surgeries on cadavers beforehand. How many anatomical dissections of those cadavers do you think she participated in? How many actual surgeries does a resident M.D. observe up close and personal before they go out on their own? How many surgeries with an experienced surgeon looking over their shoulder? When can a police officer ever engage in a real life or death gun battle during police academy training or in-service training? When can a police officer ever fight for control of his firearm where the stakes are final? How many real shootings can a police officer observe from a front row seat before they ever hit the road? How many shootings can a police officer participate in with an experienced officer guiding them?
Yeah cause the midnight cars weren't tired at all from working 12s and morale wasn't affected by canceling rdos last minute
Warm weather?
No manpower in gang territories?
Tired officers?
No special Ed the media will never figure it out. You just caused the deadliest weekend of the year! The lack of intellect in your command staff is apparent. I am warning all exempts stay clear of special ED's crew. Throw in the lawsuit Granny from out of state, Weezie and the cheaters a perfect storm is brewing.
We'll, he did say he's sick of it!
I don't like that they are running cops ragged with too much overtime. HIRE MORE COPS.
Someone who is tired or run down is more susceptible to making a mistake. You don't need that extra stress on you.
Extra money? Don't be THAT greedy where you are liable to make a career-ending mistake. (or get shot) IT AIN'T WORTH IT.
Chicago is a poster child for poor leadership in both civilian government and police command.
I hope Trump wins and wins BIG.
The deadliest weekend comes when ALL OF THE CPD WAS WORKING AND BURNING THROUGH MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF OT. YES THE ENTIRE DEPARTMENT WVERY ABLE BODY WAS WORKING
Now some will want to say that those extra bodies were assigned to Wrigley. That is in fact true all 3rd watch officers were. But every district in the entire city had more bodies working than on any given weekend in the entire year because all days off were canceled on those watches too.
I bet you hear nothing about this in the papers or the news. BLM and the politicians of the once fine city should be ashamed and embarrassed. Their years of pandering and back room deals are finally catching up. We are up of 200 homicides from where we were last year and are double the amount of shootings. You can't write a better script. Reap what you soe you political sell outs. BLM has one and you are getting what you want.
VOTE TRUMP
As a non LEO it is even obvious to me that your new leader, Special Ed is just plain full of shit. As a side from the top article, when is Wrigleyville not filled with drunken violent idiots?
Stay strong CPD, a lot of us still care and support those that lay their life on the line everyday!
G_d Bless our officers.
Let it burn, tamping down this shitshow is just prolonging the agony. It has to get worse before it can get better. Burning up good people to protect the savage is the stupidest sort of math....
Hahaha, they striped out all the "extra" manpower they normally had patrolling. Area Saturation, Summer Mobile, District Tact Teams, and any other units that are normally tripping over each other in the South and West side were at the Cubs game. How the media can't figure that out is beyond me. Go Cubs, I'd rather make sure drunk taxpayers cross the street safely than be subjected to #BLM B.S.
Fetal is the word. Just stay fetal and stay safe.
725 homicides. Heard it here 1st
Hmmm. I thought this was going to be about last-minute fishing in Lake Michigan off yachts? You know, like Deadliest Catch, only we don't throw lobster pots off our Hatteras. We just "fish".
I hate the end of the season. And they seem to rush you out of the slip, too. I think they should let you stay until the weather turns bad, not by a specific date.
Of course, I don't park my Hatteras in Chicago anymore. Ever since that fellow Washington tried to up the "parking fee" on us at the marinas, many of us moved our yachts up to Wisconsin or other places.
Just like the common people going up to Wisconsin to avoid paying sales taxes every week, us wealthy people went up there with our yachts.
As to this "Deadliest Weekend" nonsense, I am sure they will work hard to better their numbers before the end of the year. They shoot worse than the fellows at the Rod and Gun Club.
Did everyone go vote yet? You know who we all voted for - early, of course. (A Howell doesn't stand in lines and I think this year a LOT of people are going to go vote)
Not because he is a fellow billionaire. He just knows how to run things.
If you don't think so, you have never stayed at any Trump hotels and resorts. I like him and I like his shirts.
(Macy's stopped selling his shirts, so we boycott Macy's. Look at their stock (down) - they felt it when WE stopped shopping there!)
Now where is my Rolls?
How many of the shot and the killed were not in the usual demographics?
Is crime still down?
Asking for a friend.

SCC, ""The communities that we typically see violence in, they didn't get shortchanged," he said. "We had adequate resources there."
The operative word is "adequate".
The definition from http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/adequate
1 : sufficient for a specific requirement ; also : barely sufficient or satisfactory
Only a moron would use "shortchanged" and "adequate" in the same statement. Is it any wonder there were 17 dead.
What an embarrassing statement. The murderous , drug dealing thugs should be in a better frame of mind because of baseball ? As if these gang banging scumbags think normally, and gather with friends and family to watch the World Series. What world is he living in? Johnson just isn't very bright.
It's quite simply 3 percent of the US population; that's responsible for around 80 percent of violent crime. It sure as hell isn't M Squad. It's crews of M/1's...
Who cares SCC... Hmmm..Let me see...work 12 hours days back to back up north with the occasional out of hand drunk fan whilst I make a shit load of OT money for Christmas. Or work in the depressing drug and violence infested ghetto chasing shit calls all night. Where the shitheads shoot at each other regardless of PEZ boxes and amount of visible coppers. Yeah... I'd rather take my chances with some long boring hours and tired feet up north. Imagine 12 hours back to back of ghetto bullshit. At least I'll know I'll have a great Christmas check.
Stop bitching guys.
Democrat-run cities in the U.S.A. = the Third World
Maybe the on duty police are seeing how Rahm treats retirees by sticking it up their ass with NO HEALTH INSURANCE after they retire!
Work hard boys and girls, put your life on the line for this shithole City, and when you retire, go buy your own health insurance.
If you ever see Rahm spit in his face, will you?
"You would think people would be in a better frame of mind with the Cubs playing in the World Series."
Talk about being out of touch. I thought EJ was picked because he had the "pulse' of the "community?"
Of course the lib political blogs are blaming the police and accusing CPD of stripping the South and West sides to keep order in the "genteel" areas
When the cat is away the mice will play!
......and what is the illustrious city council's reaction to the weekend of violence and the 20 something shot on Monday?
If you guessed voting on some anti Trump street sign nonsense you would be correct!!
Don't forget all the VRI that was canceled as days off got canceled. Nobody but guys on furlough in the boxes.
Do you think out there is a point, a moment in time, an event Horizon, when The Community realizes that killing is wrong? Will they ever figure it out?
DNA info reported 70 shot, 17 dead.
No worries on that trail of the dead, cover up artist attorneys at DOJ, low rent attorneys from Corporation Counsel's office and politically connected consultants have a plan to fix CPD !
The Beast is getting better with his shot placement.
Be careful.
Anyone read this? Police shootings and civilian complaints are down since the McDonald shooting. Here's the reason why.
While the data suggests Chicago PD is less active or aggressive, department spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said credit should go to better training of officers designed to boost police-community relations, and not to reduced activity on the part of officers
OT Johnson on WGN at 8am stated that 85% of people shot this year are on SSL. Start the round up and keep some people safe already.
Those Amish kids causing a ruckus again?
Just axin
Cub fans in Englewood? Maybe a few. But I would bet most of the residents of the south side are fans of not much of anything relating to cultural activities, with exception of the Bulls and rap
I ain't doing shit anymore because my health insurance in retirement has been stolen from this corrupt city!
Then you expect veteran officers to solve crimes!
I got a big glass of, "go fuck yourself Rahm and Brassholes", and let your Democratic voters kill each other!
KMA
"Chicago Values"; 17 human beings murdered in Chicago on one weekend, and the City Council is voting on taking down the Trump sign! "Chicago Values" and the author of the term, (Rahm) are a disgrace and absurd!Apparently these deceased citizens of color being murdered means less than taking down the name of a political enemy. (Even though that "Enemy" donated $50,000.00 to Rahm's campaign!) Has all of the Black leadership been compromised? Where is Fr. Faker and the Church leadership? Every week you take money from White parishes to help Black ones; how about standing up for those Black kids. To hell with the Cubs, and Trump's sign; kids are being murdered, and we are not stopping it! One of the deceased was 14 yrs old. A set of 17 yr old twins killed together, has this magnitude slaughter become Normal, routine, acceptable? Rahm and the City Council, and the Police have failed to protect the residents of this city. Where is Loevy and Loevy, ACLU, DOJ, they claim to have the answers, so let's see them. Baby"G"
Very few blacks really follow baseball. The game had a legacy of racism, lack of opportunity. Racism in baseball exists to this day. Look at the demographics of the fans.very few young black males own a baseball glove.
Due to the Cubs 12 hour day BS units were not around that normally would be. No VRI either. Just proof that VRI does make a difference.
666
We will BA at 666 HOMICIDES before the elections are done. How iron 666 if Hilary gets elected.
Great job Rambelina!!!
Yet nobody shot nobody murdered in my nieghbor hood.
Maybe BLM should go to the south and west side to talk to the black shooters of black teens.
But seriously what a buffoon the Supe is saying Cubs games should quell the violence.
How about a vote of no confidence in this slob and his cabinet.
"It was a tough weekend," Johnson said after a ceremony Monday morning for graduating new officers. "You would think people would be in a better frame of mind with the Cubs playing in the World Series."
This statement only applies to certain cultures of a civilized society, Special Ed you should immediately call for peace among your people or teach them to celebrate with out taking a human life..
Go Cubs, I'd rather make sure drunk taxpayers cross the street safely than be subjected to #BLM B.S.
Amen to that
Wasn't it BLM protesters that demanded the police be removed from their "communities"?
Well here was a sneak peak of it......we should have more of this every weekend. Let's saturate the tax payer areas and keep them protected and leave the "others" to do what they always wanted to do without the constant supervision of the govt. I'm sure we'd see 2000 murders a year.

How come the media is not asking the mayor to comment on the violence in his city. Why aren't they holding Rahm to the fire?
Only officers on furlough left to man VRI. The day I worked, there were only 10 of us. Can't reduce Southside violence with only 10 officers.
Take a look at how under prepared the city is.
Not enough vehicles, and many of the ones they have are falling apart.
Not enough radios, and how about batteries that keep a charge?
Building falling apart.
Lack of proper management, years of promoting unqualified people is beginning to show.
Lack of support in the form the politicians and community.
Bad use of "shortchanged," Special Ed. You know who's getting fucking shortchanged? The north side districts whose residents never see a cop anymore, particularly at night, because seemingly the entire fucking police force was "redeployed" to babysit the southside. The 19th district, which is down 150+ cops since the consolidation with 23, and its TAXPAYING residents who are getting robbed blind by dude because he's going where the police ain't (nature abhors a vacuum!), are being shortchanged every fucking day. Ed, fuck you and your ballerina puppeteer.
Godspeed to our CPD officers. The amount of managerial incompetence that you have to endure is astounding. Thank you for your dedication.

When will the superintendent be held responsible for all the carnage?
As a non law enforcement person who reads this blog to be educated on things that the mainstream media will tell us, there are a few questions that I hav, that hopefully will be answered by you, the men and women working every day on our streets.
1: What is the actual number of working police officers in the Chicago Police Department? I have read it should be 12,500 - 13,000. I have heard the number is approximately 11.000 - 11,500 and shrinking.
2: What happened to the money in the city budget that was allocated for the police officers that the city is short. If there should be 13,000 and we only have 11,000, where did the money go for the 2,000 that the city is not employing?
3: Is there a direct corellation between rising crime rates and shortness of police officers?
4: Has there been a reduction or a increase in administration in the last 5-6 years?
5: When properly used and trained do the specialty units that used to work the city and concentrate on specific crimes, assist street cops in doing their jobs, and keep crime down?
I am not a expert by any stretch, but I have common sense, so I think I know the answers to these questions, but would like to hear from the men and women who's boots are on the ground.
This city needs help.
This may be bold but going with 750 Total Homicides for 2016.
I know the weather will get a lot worse, but I have a gut feeling that Chirag's gun-sling blood-thirsty savages can -- *play through that* -- just like any top notch athlete and overcome the challenge presented by the weather. Especially this year.
That's my pick and I'm sticking to it.
(9-David squad)
An unbelievably deadly weekend in Chicago and the mayor only talks about the Cubs. The media does not dare to question him about the out of control violence which he just disregards because "his people" are not the victims. Why does the media fear his wrath so much that they wont question him about all of the carnage. I was going to vote for Hillary, but after this weekend and the mayors indifference, I went this morning and voted for Pence and the guy he is running with. Maybe they will have the answer, because this Administration obviously does not.
Seems like keeping all the officers on baseball duty paid off. They should try leaving the "community" districts understaffed more often. Over time, it would be a self correcting problem: eventually the bangers would kill each other off in entirety.
Every one of them that leaves in a body bag is one less threat to police and to society. I can live with that.
"The communities that we typically see violence in, they didn't get shortchanged..."
No sir, they did not! As a matter of fact, they outdid themselves, producing the most violent weekend of the year so far!
Rhamballina is nothing more than a rich little girly-boy with sunken eyes, nine digits and piss wet panties!!!!!!!1
They're reaching the point where most of their workforce is completely exhausted....not that they give a fuck.
Special Ed sez no police were pulled from the "high violence communities" to supplement Wrigleyville Cubs Detail.
So he acknowledges the high crime area, kept a full complement of police, but still hasn't been able to do anything about it.
I thought this was The Guy, chosen on the advice of the Caucus, the One that understands the culture and would have the inside avenue to speak to the folks about crime and violence.
Another Rahm Emanuel Failure. (Granny get your gun, you're up next)
Another Liar.
Remember, it's the lowly flunky patrolman that is the problem.
Fuvk'm - Stay Fetal.
Discovery Channel take note, you're next new hit series: Deadliest Weekend
Nobody over the age of 30 gives a flying flip about the Cubs or Ricketts' Corporate Beer Tap Field.
You could see Eddie's nose growing as he spews these bald face lies.
They don't care about the violence and all its crimes all they care is to make sure you bring your vote in....SAD!!!
The city claims only 605 homicides as opposed to the 651 the Heyjackass lists. Even when you take away the handful of police or private citizen justified kills, you still have this wide gap that the media doesn't examine. The media needs to question the "death investigations" and the murders that occur on the highways that are within the corporate limits of the City of Chicago.Just because the city got the state to investigate those, in order to get lottery machines at the airports doesn't mean they weren't killed in Chicago.
Hey Chicago can be number 1 in something let try for 800
The city has fucked the retirees and they will fucked you if given a chance. Yes I am bitter about the insurance
We are ALREADY at the single largest year to year increase in homicides in Chicago in at least the past 60 years! Thank you Rahm, Hillary, the good reverend and everyone at BLM.

There were only 2 shootings resulting in 1 homicide in Englewood this past weekend. While many in Englewood are not Cub fans,they are historically National League fans.

Do not feel any regret or angst when these outrageous numbers pop up. As long as the dindu's keep killing themselves, I could care less. If by chance innocents are caught up in this madness, then I will care.

Chicago’s Murder Rate Hits Grim Milestone
After an especially deadly weekend, Chicago exceeded 600 murders so far this year, a level unseen in more than a decade
CHICAGO—After an especially deadly weekend, Chicago’s spiraling violence passed a grim new milestone: more than 600 murders so far this year, up 45% from the same period last year and a level that hasn’t been seen in more than a decade.
Eighteen people were murdered from Friday through Sunday, bringing total homicides this year to 614, according to the official police tally. The last time annual murders topped 600 was in 2003.
The murders have far outstripped the totals in some other large cities this year, with more homicides than in New York and Los Angeles combined despite Chicago’s much smaller population. Along with cities such as Baltimore and Houston, Chicago is driving a surge in the national murder rate, which is projected to rise 31.5% this year from 2014.
While both 2003 and this year were chaotic and trying for many in the Chicago neighborhoods affected, community involvement in 2003 was relatively strong, helping police solve 51% of the murders that year.
This year’s murder spree seems relatively random by contrast. With little help from the community to explain why most of these people were killed only 21% of the murders have been solved so far.
Tale of Two Cities
Chicago has experienced more than 600 murders so far this year, a tally that hasn't been seen since 2003. While murders remain concentrated in the South and West Sides, the number of cases solved in the same year has tumbled to 21% from 51% in 2003.

Failure to provide the most basic protections in a civilized society, that of preservation of life and protection of property is the democratic legacy. To all you democrats out there, your saviors have failed you, but yet you still support them. They have done a magnificent job in brainwashing you and you don't even know it. When you chances of being murdered are greater than in a country where a war is being fought you may want to push the reset button and think about the grand movement you have become a part of.
The "do nothing" Democrats are in charge, what do you expect? All they care about is getting their paychecks and thinking of ways to get more money without doing anything.
