Number Games
2017, starting with the same games of 2016, 2015, 2014, etc:
- Following a deadly 2016, the Chicago Police Department announced plans Sunday to reduce the city’s violence in the new year.
[...]
Some of the 2017 initiatives focus on hiring additional officers, funding economic growth and providing support for young men in violent neighborhoods, police said. By the end of the year, nearly 1,000 more beat officers, detectives, lieutenants, sergeants, field training officers and more will be working for the police department. The mayor will invest in mentoring programs for men in the 20 most violent neighborhoods and offer incentives for commercial retail and industrial developers. The mayor will also financially support the Neighborhood Opportunity Fund and the Community Catalyst Fund, police said.
"1,000 more beat officers, detectives, lieutenants, sergeants, field training officers and more will be working for the police department" Does the media even ask the obvious questions?
- Question: Where do Detectives come from?
Answer: From the ranks of Patrol Officers. - Question: Where do FTO's come from?
Answer: From the ranks of Patrol Officers. - Question: Where do Sergeants come from?
Answer: From the ranks of Patrol Officers and Detectives and FTO's.
Do you see the problem? Of course, you do, because you and we work in the system and we know exactly where the shuffling happens. To make 100 FTO's and 130 Detectives and 150 Sergeants, you have to remove 380 people from Patrol. So unless the Department has suddenly graduated 380 people, we are short 380 bodies. Oh, and then this:
- Question: Where do Lieutenants come from?
Answer: From the ranks of Sergeants.
Again, the Department shorts one rank to promote to another. The Department doesn't just go out on the street and hire someone to fill a spot....well, in most cases. The city will hire aging police failures from either coast to fill exempt spots along with irrelevant washed-up news anchors, but those are usually political payoffs to someone for covering up some of Rahm's malfeasance or heading off a frivolous hiring lawsuit due to Rahm's incompetence.
And speaking of incompetence, we aren't going to say much about that "60 Minutes" hit piece Sunday night. It was summarized pretty well by a few of our readers, namely that:
And speaking of incompetence, we aren't going to say much about that "60 Minutes" hit piece Sunday night. It was summarized pretty well by a few of our readers, namely that:
- the Department is racist;
- if you do street stops, you must be racist;
- if you don't prevent murders, you're racist
- if you engage in any sort of proactive police work, it's only because you're racist;
- any "self preservation" instinct that kicks in to prevent accusations of racism, is in fact racist;

Thank goodness we had our first "post racial" president to heal the divisions.

1000 PPOs are gonna save the city!!!! Pump them out of that academy; and make a Chinese factory jealous. Shit I went through the metro academy at CHicago, 2 years later CPD academy... I slept through CPD academy--- guys in blue know a suburban cop can do it.
Another attack on the Police by National Media. They continue to ignore who is doing all the shooting and would rather lay the blame on the Police. If the Police made more stops, then these shootings would lower. Now comes 9.5 saying he is going to invest taxpayers money into the pockets of Flaker and others fro community programs. Be interesting to see just how much income, gifts, tributes that people like Flaker and others are already making over the parishioners/followers violence?
Media hog McCarthy trying to stay in the limelight, remain relevant, and speak as some sort of authority on something. Let it never be forgotten that this man:
Was a willing hatchet man in closing 3 police districts, which directly caused there to be less police coverage per square mile of this shithole city thus making the situation more dangerous for both the public and police officers, for no gain in effectiveness of police operations (quite the opposite as a matter of fact);
Shut down the only citywide unit that was actually keeping violence down in bad neighborhoods, and to show his appreciation to the officers who worked said unit, didn't even have the decency to let them go back to their original districts, in most cases causing undue inconvenience to said officers;
Started the weekly compstat shitshow where commanders were blindsided, bullied, ridiculed over meaningless statistics, causing said commanders to go back to their districts on the warpath and come down harder on their officers;
Pushed for ever more street stops (in the form of contact cards) to the point that the ACLU threatened to sue the department, which directly brings us to the situation the department finds itself in today with regards to street stops;
Lied about the when the Mayor viewed the LMD shooting video to cover for his master in a vain effort to save his own ass;
Didn't back his own exempts' finding of LMD's shooting being found justified immediately after the fact but instead went on TV to apologize and demonize ad nauseum instead of deferring all comment until after an investigation;
Irrevocably confused our chain of command in district watches by creating DSS's, marginalizing lieutenants and inventing the "XO" rank beneath commanders for absolute no reason or benefit or improvement to operations;
Pushed through some of the worst promotions of exempts and merit picks in the history of this department;
Allowed the 10 hour day in its present 2 watch form to be piloted in the 005 district, allowing a dangerous further decrease in manpower since only 2 watches are now required;
Implemented the squad schedule pilot program in certain districts which achieved none of its stated aims in the original order, and only served to confuse and muddle operations at the district watch level;
Created more useless exempt spots while letting manpower levels fall dangerously low;
Did I leave anything out?
I won't even get into his off duty antics at police functions or in public places, which, to say the least, are less than amusing.
In short, former Superintendent McCarthy has left a path of destruction through the Chicago Police Dept that it is likely to never recover from, and should not ever be consulted as an authority on anything police related.
Did CBS talk about how racist the Chicago Police Department is?
If they don't want the police to patrol certain neighborhoods, the police and the politicians should listen to their constituents and stop patrolling the neighborhoods. I am sure there are neighborhoods that want more police presence.
Oh, I know. Stop being coy. "Question: Where do Lieutenants come from?"
A falsified examination test score.
Thought you had us on a trick question, eh?
It's a FUCKING joke! I can't believe the media buys this BS. All they have to do is a tiny bit of homework. It's so easy to see. It's first grade math. We are so short it's past the point of no return. Lift the residency and get a bigger and better pool of applicants.
1 - fuck funding any type of "mentoring" or "neighborhood" program. We the taxpayers are fucking tired of funding useless, feel good programs of little substance and no returns. Jagoff Tiny Dancer has millions for illegal immigrants and millions more to babysit ghetto savages because there's no parents, yet retirees lost their healthcare.
2 - how about hiring about 30 or more ETs? We didn't have enough in 2016 with almost 800 murders, we'll be even worse off this year when we close in on 1000+. And while we're at it, we're gonna need more vehicles and cameras as our equipment is shit.
95% Unfuckingreal real. And the police are the problem? Fucking convenient spin doctor motherfuckers, black on black is the problem and the media doesn't address it why???????? Oh right
Lotta homicides this past year eh ? That's alot of reports to write , but look at it this way ... they're 'thinning the herd' , cuz there would have been even more reports to write , for all the other crimes that would have happened , if these same people ( or folk ) were still with us .
Police officers doing nothing for 100G a year that won't last just to write a report give people a RD number and they can call in and report a crime
"Some of the 2047 initiatives focus on hiring additional officers, funding economic growth and providing support for young men in violent neighborhoods..."
Face it. They got this rolling in 1964 and it's never going to be stopped. Too many "social service administrators" and so forth getting hit off as the tent cities grow...
The Madigan plan for 2017: More failure, more bleeding

Hey SCC
Stop asking questions.
You know we are told to be deaf dumb and blind in our jobs.
Just like the thick fog this morning we work in the dark.
And we are not suppose to see any truths
Screaming racist works, it has worked for years. Give them everything that they want as long as they quit screaming. Doesn't have to be true or accurate. Maybe this is why Trump won, white people are tired of it, they are tired of black and white people screaming racism especially when it doesn't exist. I'm not saying racism doesn't exist, but white people, democrats, who have been benefiting from it since the 60's should just quit taking advantage of the blacks and actually do something about it. How many blacks voted Trump, probably more than one thinks.
Where are they going to get the money? On the 21st of this month there is a new sheriff in town. Chicago is slated to lose 1.5 - 2 BILLION dollars, CPS over 1 BILLION, Cook County Over 1 Billion. No more : community development block grants, small business loans, federally insured student loans, no FHA mortgages, where will all this money come from for business development and mentoring?
The best part is it can't be stopped by a friendly Democratic Federal Judge, case law is all ready on the books from the 9th Circuit Court, the most liberal court in America, of course they thought they were screwing the police when the made the ruling.
Fun times ahead
60 minutes- Does anyone know the real story about the retired guy and the pics in the urinals? He says racism. Speaking of racism 60 minutes, did you ever talk to the white police officers about the racist black bosses in 002?
The real racist on 60 minutes was Wooten, could you imagine if a white person called black men Black BOYS. Shows where the real racism is at and approved by the media
I didn't realize how racist I was until I saw the 60 min piece.
Being an fto is a pain in the ass. Most recruits are know it alls. They are coddled so much that they get to pick there training districts. Some may never make it to a fast district. I could go on and on
Not really sure what they want. 20 years on. I use to be proactive and look for criminals. I'm accused of not doing my jobs correctly by social and mainstream media. Ok... I adopt the "firemen" mentality and only respond when called and I can still do no right. Can someone, anyone (doesn't have to be one of our fearless leaders) tell me right from wrong.
Did you watch the 60 minutes the other night on Chicago's violence. Talk about a skewed piece of reporting. The basic theme was crime is up and people out of control because Cops are not doing their jobs. Guest appearances by Fr. Faker, G Mac, Ed etc and the last person to speak was some woman who's honor roll student was killed (not by police) who basically blames cops for her sons death. Nice reporting.
Other question: If it's this easy, why did Rahm wait till 2017 to do all these "initiatives" and start saving lives?
New detective class was told the second class will be delayed until the fall. There goes Rahms promise of promoting 100 in april.
Calling someone a racist is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
MC looking for a job.. while getting in his licks at Emanuel for firing him
Notice jesse jackass and St Sabina's Fr Faker marching for gun violence on Mich Ave .. to line their pockets with money... no money in the hood
He must hate getting up and looking in the mirror each morning.
J.J.
Only upon retirement, after many fruitful years spent in a CPD CAPS office, could a selfless hero speak to the nation on 60 Minutes about abuses observed during his first day in patrol.
You just racist! The race card... play it when in danger of losing an argument.play it to keep a person or group "in check". Play it for any financial gain. Play it to get attention.play it to deflect obvious blame.
and while all this was going on you ask where was the MAYOR?,well if you said "out of the country on vacation" you would have been rite....
Outgoing president missed once in a lifetime chance to heal the racial divide. He fueled the flames with his support of the Ferguson false narrative. He could have taken the side of law enforcement and suggest it's not wise to try and disarm a cop after you just committed a strong armed robbery. He chose to side with the thug. He made that decision for what ever reason and it was very mean spirited. Sad.
And how do you Mentor the Mentally Ill? Rahm closed the neighborhood mental health centers, and in so doing he left thousands of zombies wandering in Da Hood. It would be interesting to have one of the numerous colleges and universities in this City to research the numbers. How many former clients of those facilities are ending up in the County Jail, or are themselves victims of crime? Rahm has damaged this City in ways that will be felt for generations. And how Ironic, that the vary community that Democrats have been sucking up to is the Community that is enduring the greatest impact of the failed Democrat policies. Fu&k Rahm, and his Chicago Values. Baby"G"
Did I leave anything out?
How about the domestic battery at wrigley field in front of many people that was swept under he rug.
(Funny one) How about the time where he wanted to be like one of the guys and was ball busting then Luce gave it to him and now he was offended. He told him lets take it outside, Luce headed out and he pussed out.
McCarhty made better merit picks for the most part, he would actually interview candidates. Now it's business as usual.
40 captains being made soon as the rank is going back to the watch as watch commander. There will be a Capt and 3 Lts on each watch. The XO thing is ending.
OT: Did the city make the big pension payment
scheduled for 31Jan16?
Want to revamp the entitlement culture. Simple. All previous entitlement programs will expire by the end of 2017. To apply for benefits there will be a new agency that will be one stop shopping for food stamps aka link and housing. The only thing you will need is pay stubs for the last 2 months, birth certificate for yourself and any dependents and PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP. You will undergo a criminal background check that will reveal any outstanding warrants and ICE officials will also be there to return you to your country of origin if you do not have the proper documentation. Any questions? Welcome to the New America where hard work, education and lawful immigration are rewarded. Brought to you by the taxpayers who elected Donald Trump.
SCC did you watch 60 minutes real close where Superintendent says policing is a Noble job. Could that be code think about it.
Hey everyone! Your bullet proof vest also serves as a floatation device. The ship is sinking!
Police officers doing nothing for 100G a year that won't last just to write a report give people a RD number and they can call in and report a crime
You go save the city then hard charger. I will write the reports. Probably better that way seeing as your writing skills include the use of nothing but run on sentences.
I'm not a PO but live in Chicago and saw the 60 minutes piece on Sunday. I was sickened by it. Let me tell you the problem: It's the liberal media. And it's out of control. I never used to believe there was a liberal media bias but now I'm getting smacked in the face with it every time I turn on the TV. It's criminal what the media is doing. They are running the same fake propaganda narrative all day long. It goes like this:
-Black people are victims. Let me repeat, black people are ALWAYS victims, no matter what happens. Black gang member kills an innocent black person on the west side of Chicago? They are BOTH victims. The bad guy is the police officers who should have stopped it. Again liberal media will spin and distort everything so that you think the black people are always the victims. Then the liberal media will distort further by tell you the "problem" is always the racist police and racist white people. We all know this is not reality but this is the fake propagandistic narrative by the liberal media. In the 60 minutes piece I couldn't believe my ears when the black mother (who's son was shot by a black gang member who saw him as a threat to his "turf") was blaming the police. And the news anchor did not challenge her. Wait I CAN believe it because its the fake news liberal media.
What about personal responsibility you say being responsible for murders in Chicago? Well you are smart and correct but you don't have control of the media. Remember, according the liberal media "Black people always are the victims", "Police offices are all racist"...
-Trump won because people are sick of this fake propagandistic narrative. Things have to change. Trump will support the police.
well...assuming victim race and suspect race are the same in most cases...if blacks and hispanics were taken out of the stats we would have had about 40 murders last year...we would be the safest large city in the world....so, lets work on fixing the issues with those communities and stop wasting resources on investigating police as the cause of these deaths. Start with the Family...fix that and see what results...less gangs, less "teens" out at 0300hrs, respect for life, pride in self....I could go on.
Shit, speaking of cars, I was in a "new" Ford the other day and when I looked at the odometer, the damn car has over 79,000 miles ALREADY. At this rate, the Explorers will be hitting VRI next year.
It's laughable to watch the media speculate as to why our murder rate is so high.
Maybe it's because of the car cams, body cams, ISR's, and the ridiculously revised Use of Force policy... all designed to jam up the honest working police officer and give ammunition to the average street thug.
No thanks. I think I'll just write reports and get a CTA check and look forward to the 1st and 16th of the month. Liberalism has ended pro-active policing, which, as we all know, saves lives.
Buh-bye Rahm... I can't say we'll miss ya.

Affirmative action has been occurring in CPD since the late 60's
If anyone hasn't noticed, Democrats create jobs by the thousands.
They don't speak of the thousands that leave.
There will always be a manpower shortage due to mismanagement. Blame the meddling Mayor first, then the top Brass.
If the Department really wanted to add to the ranks in the District Patrol Division they could simply empty the HQ of house mice.
Dumping a load of 15-20 house mice to each of the Disricts and equip them won't likely ever happen.
But all the Bureaus lie and their deceptive manpower accounting won't allow for that when it effects the clouted and incapable.
No cars, radios, tasers, cams etc. is all due to mismanagement and unaccountability.
We don't hear of these problems at LA and NYPD.
But then Chicago is the nation embarrassment when it comes to crime and corruption.
Murder and Policing in Chicago
As cops retreat under political pressure, homicides rise 57%.
Jan. 2, 2017
President Obama plans a farewell speech next week in Chicago, and perhaps he’ll notice that while he’s been in Washington his hometown has become the nation’s murder capital and largest gang war zone. Worth reflecting on is the city’s upswell in violence last year that followed political protests against law enforcement and a pullback in policing.
The Chicago Police Department reported 762 homicides in 2016, the most in two decades and more than in the cities of New York and Los Angeles combined. The 57% increase was the biggest spike in 60 years. Shootings jumped 46% to 3,550, with most occurring in poor and minority neighborhoods on the South and West sides. Police have blamed gang activity, as most victims had previously been identified for their gang ties or past arrests.
But gangs aren’t new, and another culprit is an increase in caution among police who have come under widespread political attack. Street demonstrations followed the November 2015 release of a video capturing the killing of 17-year old Laquan McDonald, who was shot 16 times by a white officer. The officer will stand trial for first-degree murder while police remain under investigation by the Justice Department.
The American Civil Liberties Union has also targeted Chicago police, and the department in August 2015 agreed to track investigatory stops and pat-downs to avert a lawsuit. Officers must submit detailed two-page reports for each stop, which a former federal judge and ACLU review for bias.
Former Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy told CBS’s “60 Minutes” this weekend that the increase in paperwork has taken time away from proactive policing and made officers more reluctant to stop suspicious individuals. According to CBS, the number of stops declined from 49,257 in August 2015 to 8,859 a year later while arrests fell by a third to 6,900. While current Superintendent Eddie Johnson denied that police were retreating, he noted at a press conference this weekend that anger at police has “emboldened” criminals. He also blamed lax enforcement of Chicago’s strict antigun laws.
All of this suggests that the demonization of cops has contributed to Chicago’s surge of violence, with the principal victims being young minorities, many of them innocent bystanders. Perhaps the President could include an elegy for these black lives in his farewell.

1/03/2017 12:48:00 AM
A couple things come to mind.
He furthered the liberal Democratic agenda by praising fr flaky as if he was a saint and carried Rahms bullshit democratic narrative of a gun epidemic as opposed to a lawless and uncivilized folks and people epidemic.
To paraphrase what you said, he has done the most damage to the Chicago Police Department than any previous superintendent.
They can hire 5,000 new patrolmen, won't make any difference in this climate. ACLU, merit hack bosses, Rham, body cameras, slanted media coverage. It's over, answer your calls, look out for each other, drop paper and go home unscathed.
And to top off the numbers game, where could "special ed" train 900-1000 new cops all at one time, because we know it aint 1300 w jackson, and how many trainers would it take to do the job ? Maybe 2 shifts, it happened in Det' school in late 90's, do think they can get the plumbing issues fixed for all the flushing that will go on.
How many new hires will wash out, can't pass physical, or state test or drug test post hiring, or just don't wanna be the mutha fukn Police no more when they realize "I gotta work midnites, whats that" "For how long, thats some bullshit"
Another smoke screen to try to fix what has been going on all to long. balancing the city budget on false man power numbers and blaming the Police for societies mistakes, not all of society, just those that espouse the let 'em run free and support 'em with taxpayer money society that prevails in the hall, the county board and state house.
You are a RACIST if you malign people because they are able bodied and refuse to work because they believe the tax dollars generated from your payroll taxes, property, sales and utility taxes should support their existence from cradle to grave.
You are a Racist if you believe the laws of the land are for every person in this country, even those who are uncivilized, refuse to become civilized and have lived by the laws of the jungle for the past 100 years.
You are RACIST if you believe in and follow the prescribed and lawful methods for becoming an American citizen.
You are a RACIST if you believe that all the illegal immigrants who are breaking the Immigration Laws of The United States of America should be returned to their country of origin.
You are a RACIST if you believe allowing illegal immigrants to remain in this country and live off the tax dollars of its legal working citizens is morally and lawfully wrong.
You are a RACIST if you believe that the Democrats have created the biggest conspiracy ever perpetrated against the American People, redirecting our tax dollars to support those who refuse to work in exchange for their vote.
Being a RACIST, or not politically correct is something I'm proud of and it's time for everyone to get a job and stop living off me and everyone else that has a real J.O.B.
The Democrats and their corrupt socialistic narrative has awakened the sleeping giant, the silent majority and it is my 2017 wish that every last one of you get what's coming to you. My boot in your ass, It's the American Way, and how we used to treat communist in this country.

It was always amusing that detectives and ftos were promoted out of patrol, and sometimes within weeks sergeants would be promoted. Then detectives and ftos would leave their units and the original shortages would still exist. The recently promoted detectives would then be overwhelmed with re-assigned cases.

I am not pro residency, but if you think about... to an extent, city people don't wanna join Cpd, open the residency up, after 2 tests your number of candidates will fall too. People in Naperville to Orlando park or Evanston are not in a rush to joint a shit house police department known as Cpd

Who,what,where,when,why,how.
Y'all really need to get a life, do the 20 and get out stop trying to rectify a bad situation. Be happy to get out unscathed!
If all districts have clerks why do we still need 20 full duty po's working inside. Clerks can do all administrative duties including timekeeping. Do we really need secretaries (watch), caps officers, citation clerks, assistant to the assistant po... I haven't seen so much money being wasted like the dept's does... made up spots for the cry babies. I'm sure if the department really wanted they would find those 500 fully duty po's hiding inside. And another good portion in remaining units across the city and 35th. I'm just saying.
You're the biggest racist of us all, racist!
I was having a conversation with my co-worker today about that very summary of 60 minutes special. I was also telling him for the past several years I've noticed when our local media outlet's online edition has a story about a crime, and the photo they show is of a lightbar the suspect is a minority. When it's a mugshot it's of a white person. There have been a lot of lightbar stories the past few years, including most of the shootings.
It shows media and liberals' inherent racism that they think they have to cover for the people who are doing this stuff for some reason. Reminds me of something GWB said about the "soft bigotry of low expectations." Really hard to address a problem when nobody will allow acknowledgement there is a problem.

Very well said, sir.
Bravo and well done.
What matter if McCarthy interviewed his merit picks? How does that make his merit picks better?
Methinks whoever posted that McCarthy's merit picks were better because he interviewed, either is one of McCarthy's merit picks, or the friend of one of McCarthy's merit picks.
Either way, merit picks take a spot away from someone who placed higher in a test, and an automatic managerial levying of 20-30% of promotions is too big of a cut, leading to the horrible crop of supervisors that the blue shirts are now suffering under.

Hey 1/03/2017 02:44:00 PM, how about the departments he left, (fucked up), before coming here? The lingering investigations should have raised red flags about his future conduct here. He, like "Special Ed", fit in perfectly with the control freak mayor's plans.

And another good portion in remaining units across the city and 35th. I'm just saying.
Yeah but, truly nobody wants to do this. Last time Rham redeployed 1000 officers most of these people were missed. See they all know someone, from a Rabbi, to owner of "respected" funeral parlor chain, to US Congressmen. It is hard for the politicians to take a real hard line when they are dealing with other elected officials. It easier when engineer "return to the streets" to take a street unit and re brand it for "mission accomplished."
