Squeezing Toothpaste
Guess what happens when you bring resources to bear on a crime problem? The criminals just give up their illicit activities, surrender their guns and go home to a future filled with gainful employment?
Oh wait, that's liberal fantasy land.
Oh wait, that's liberal fantasy land.
- Beat 1011 — an area of just .45 of a square mile — takes the crown of most dangerous police beat in Chicago from neighboring, slightly larger Beat 1133, just on the other side of dividing line Roosevelt Road. Beat 1133, in the department’s Harrison District, held the unwanted title for 2016.
So the police took steps to address that. They put in place or expanded technology-based initiatives to fight the violence north of Roosevelt Road — including ShotSpotter gunshot sensors and what they call Strategic Decision Support Centers. These allow analysts from the police department and the University of Chicago Crime Lab to review gunfire data and better target where officers need to be deployed.
And when they did all of that, the shooting shifted to the other side of Roosevelt Road, the Sun-Times analysis found. The number of shootings has dropped dramatically in Beat 1133, records show. At the same time, the toll of shootings has surged in Beat 1011 next door.
No shit. You know what happened when the Department put up "blue light cameras"? The dope dealing moved around the corner, out of the camera's line of sight. And if the camera got moved, the dealing moved again. The Department is far more reactive than proactive. That comes from being shorthanded - which isn't going to be corrected short-term.
And then there's this little tidbit:
And then there's this little tidbit:
- From January through June last year, 329 people were killed.
The city is slightly ahead of that pace this year. In the first six months of 2017, 333 people were killed citywide.
It's still going to be difficult to maintain this pace for almost two years straight. Last year, August averaged over three murders a day (98 dead). That's asking a lot of our criminals, but you never know. 700 is well within reach again, and Beat 1011 is just going to have to grin and bear it.

Hahahahahahahahah ! I have to laugh every time I read about this policing "technology" . Its just so hard to imagine how anyone can be so stupid as tomthink this blue light cameras, shot soptter bullshit will do anything but waste money. Why do they think their honored constituents are so stupid that they will not just move out of range of this phony feel good crap. Put cops on the street. Lots of them. In all the neighborhoods and keep them ALL safe. Enough is enough. A real man will at some point admit he was wrong and do the right thing.i guess the city leaders just dont have any balls whatsoever.
What does the CPD do yo inform the citizens stuck in these hell holes?
Well, besides the fulsome use of Crime Scene Tape and blue flashing lights at all hours of the day?
Fixed "Blue Light Cameras" are obsolete. Why spend millions on fixed cameras when you can buy Drones with cameras (and so many other features) that can be totally mobile?
Chicago could step up its game to fight crime in some of the worst neighborhoods by flying drones around looking for "problems". Hard to "scurry to the next rat hole" when the cameras can scurry right along with you.
Plus, if someone shoots one down, you have them on Federal charges of "shooting down an aircraft". Let's get into the right century.
Also, can't wait to see the Police Chief who resigned in Minneapolis come to Chicago as the next Superintendent.
You don't think it could ever happen?? Hmmm.. you don't know Chicago. Stranger things have happened.
Maybe they ran out of shitheads in 1133?
Sonny the beat has never been the same
Why did the banger cross the road?
To get to the low-tech side.
Give me your tattered uniforms,
your high-mileage squads reeking from
feet and ass, your unwanted blue lights.
Just remember, nobody ever got fired for doing nothing.
Again, Who's dying here? Oh yea, the Assholes who were never RAISED to respect life by their " parents ". Parents, what a joke, you have to instill in their little mush brains ,starting at age 2 that this way of life is WRONG and if educated to the ways of the CIVILIZED WORLD , we would not have the biggest drain on the US economy by these useless pieces of shit !Let the low information voters get rid of OUR problem one Homicide at a time !!!!! Stay F E T A L !

Golly gee wiz, the eggheads must be so giddy with their successful crime fighting strategy. Only thing is, every copper that has worked the street more than six months knows that that bad guys move with the police prsence.
Who cares? Not me, blm, rahm, prewincle, nor the average citizen. They are only killing each other in the hood, not a significant loss to a civilized society. this is chiraq never mind.. thanks BLM, and ACLU..
Squeezing toothpaste, that's a nice way of saying stepping in a pile of shit.
All the technology in the world is not going to make a bit of difference if there isn't a cop there to make an arrest, a jail to hold the suspect, a court to try said suspect and a prison to hold the convicted criminal.
Cops could be everywhere, but if you tie their hands so all they can do is scratch their asses, nothing will get better. But apparently, this is the way democrats like it. Too bad the "protected masses" are so stupid, they can't figure out they're the ones being shot and killed!
Keep voting dumbocrat, keep getting screwed over.

If you are going to use drones, arm them with missiles. That will help.
And nary a peep of of the twerp murder mayor, in most other third world cities the corrupt leader would have been dragged out of office and burned at the stake...
Some years back, Bt. 612 was named the deadliest, problem solved, 612 was switched with 614. It worked 612s stats went down, and 614s went up. Can't make this shit up.
This Department and City are being run by morons that never figured out how to squeeze toothpaste out of the tube. Nice.

The thugs don't even care about the blue lights on our cars or our blue uniforms for that matter so they definitely won't care about the silly fixed ones. Now go get some ISRs we're down for the month said the house mouse boss.
University of Chicago Crime Lab. Hahaha haha. LMFAO.
A snake has many entrances to its home.
Good morning SCC,
We'd need to see a 25% reduction in homicides for the remaining five months to NOT exceed 700 for the year. We're sticking with our forecast of 750-775 homicides with the total shot number around 4,000.
Stay safe,
-WHT
Worked VIR a few days ago they put all 4 cars on Roosevelt and Independence in the same corner lol ... a Block over about 30 lose wild dogs causing havoc ...... Fuck it $$$$$$$$$....

Technology is not there yet--- I have 2 drones... one cost $5,000 and the other cost $1,400... the battery life on the drones is about 25 minutes. You have to consider the fact that Dailey has not set up a drone company as to the reason why there are no drones up in the air. Second, please remember no matter how much other people's money chicago spends; if you are not gonna lock up the criminals with convictions-- why really spend the money on funnin?
Out of towners have the misconception of only the South Side is the crime area. But beat for beat the West Side can stand toe to toe with it.
We could have been on Mars by now. Instead, we have ShotSpotter technology.
The thugs, and folks, are going have to learn basic marksmanship skills and to shoot a lot straighter to bring the dead numbers up a significant amount. They need to spend some range time practicing.
The residents do not "say something when they see something!" There are too many crooks and hardly any victims left so the robbers are after the same few people left to rob.
You would think with all of the black and hispanic gangbangers killed over the past 10 years and all of those shot, the gang membership would be depleted by now. Guess not
years of merit commanders , worried about illegal vendors and id shops staying open will do that
Rahmie must be at his place in Michigan. I wonder if there's a wedding dress at his Michigan address?

Give me a break. I liked the man but he never made a narcotics arrest on a beat which was nothing but a dope spot. All his recruits never learned how to make the arrest, then were intimidated by him to stay off his beat. It is because of that lack of policing that has made that Beat the worst. Lack of being Policed. Not one of his recruits left not knowing the location of every fire hydrant though..... RIP Teneleven......
Even with officers sitting in boxes and Sgts checking gps constantly, shocking
Its like something Al Bundy would do by flinging Buck's dog poop over to the neighbors side to rid the pesky fly problem.
He may have chipped it over a sand wedge.
CPD is really scraping the bottom of the barrel looking for some "Wins" for the struggling command of Jughead Special Ed.
The brothers johnson ain't cutting the mustard.
Never had, never will.

Same goes for all the over-dosing white junkies!
Sounds like the powers to be in 010 need to step up their enforcement game, as 011 apparently has.

You are wrong if that's what you took out of riding with the man for a month than so be it, but the rest of the hundred or so may have had a different perespective. It wasn't what he did or showed you what made him the officer he was but how he did it. He knew every dope spot inside and out and by that he knew who the parents were, where they went to school, who their family was. That's why when there was something serious (selling dope to hypes isn't) happened he k ew The Who,what, where , when and why. Being a detective now the detail in case reports make our lives easier.
I remember a few years ago two yutes put an IED into the base of a POD camera on Flournoy and blew the pole down. Watching the footage was hilarious and I'm sure no one has been arrested on that one. Cameras help in a fraction of cases
Rest In Peace Jimmy Sonny Liston you were the last of a rare breed you had that beat 1011 shut down you knew everyone on that beat you knew all the players and how to control the savage beast God bless you Jimmy Godspeed!
U of c so called crime lab huh? HAH! What a Fuckin joke! Those pencil sharpening paper pushing know nothing geeks wouldn't know a Fuckin crime if it jumped up n bit them in the ass. How about workin the streets n the players if you really want to learn about crime. Fuckin desk jockeys.
