Did No One Pay Attention?
The dumb-assery of Chicago politician knows no bounds, as proven once again this aldercreature:
- Ald. Brian Hopkins (2nd) is organizing a petition drive aimed at pressuring the Chicago Police Department to re-open the shuttered Wood Street station — as a satellite location at the very least — to combat a surge in violent crime tied to a reduction in police manpower.
When the Wood, Prairie and Belmont district stations were closed five years ago, local aldermen were assured there would be no corresponding loss in police manpower.
But Hopkins argued Tuesday that’s precisely what happened — to the tune of up to 100 fewer officers — in neighborhoods like Ukrainian Village, West Town and parts of Wicker Park once served by the Wood Street station.
100 fewer officers? Try almost 200 Sherlock. Behold, the power of FOIA!
And that's covering an area twice as big as a single 012 or 013 was back in the day. McCarthy estimated/promised that there would be around 524 officers in the new 012, knowing that the new building couldn't possibly hold more than 350 on a good day, and even that was going to be a tight fit.
NEWSFLASH to the media and the public living in 013:
NEWSFLASH to the media and the public living in 013:
- The Department lied to you
- McCarthy lied to you
- Rahm lied to you
You were targeted because crime was "down" and it was thought that putting a new police station closer to Pilsen would enhance Rahm's rep among the constituency he decided to impress to win the next election. And besides, white people behave better (the racism of lowered expectations).
Except that when you dilute the police presence in "quiet neighborhoods" and double the police presence in "crime ridden 'hoods," well.....the criminal isn't completely stupid - they go where the police aren't.
Every cop on the Department warned that this was going to happen. We wrote about it. And we were ignored. Welcome to the new normal.

(Corrected typo at the asterisk. Instead of rumored 230 officers s/b 330. Instead of 240 by year end, 340. Otherwise, numbers are solid. Sorry for the confusion).
017 is really short on manpower. Under 200 officers. It’s going to take someone getting hurt before this is addressed.
The 18th District is down 0ver 200 Officers from 10 years ago,Yet the 30 sectors population has quadrupled,Over 50 residential highrise's have been built in that period,The Economic engine Districts dont matter.
Public was duped by; City Hall Communication Ministry and the Chicago Police Department Communication Office of Propaganda!
Nice! Keep voting same old same old and get more of the same!
What's Hopkins going to do when 400+ people sign the petition and then Johnson and Emmanuel say "Get Lost"?!
I like how they have only 22 Districts but we have a District named 25th District. More smoke and mirrors. Playing with the numbers.
Real Math
524 - 325 = 199
Aldermanic Math
524 - 325 = up to 100
WTF
I wonder if 13th and 12th District residents will be voting for McCarthy when he runs for mayor!
And Hispanics in Pilsen voted overwhelmingly for Chuy to show their appreciation for the new station
What crimes all I see innocent kids borrowing cars to attend schools. Also, they just playin, teens can't possibly commit crimes. Why you all trippin ain't this what you all wanted. Leave poor criminals alone stop messing with them. U asked and u shall receive u can thank your liberal friends for the surge in crimes. Stop ignoring the pink elephant in the room and speak up about the real problems. Of course climate change and lack of an express train is to blame for the chaos thats been happening.
017 the other night, 3 separate shootings, an armed takeover robbery and a car jacking. Doing more with less. A cluster fuck of epic proportion. No one is assigned to fill the cars and lo and behold, a problem happens. They've been skating with this foolishness for several years now, stripping manpower out of the district with promotions, retirements and people bidding out occasionally and replacing very few of the numbers that left. Well, you got what you want, it is now too dangerous to be the police in 017. You have no back up. If you get into trouble, you will either have to over react or take what happens with only a partner to back you up. I don't know about Rahm and fat Ed, but I'm not getting killed or disabled to satisfy your need to reduce the manpower in what was a very safe district. There's no one here. The city and department don't want heavy handed tactics, fine, we got the message, what are you supposed to do? Run away? I am so through with this planned disaster waiting to get one of us killed.
No, no one paid attention. You know how you can tell....Daley stole the skyway...Daley stole the parking meters....Daley stole the pensions.....Rahm took the health insurance.....Rahm raised every tax and made new ones....the county raised the taxes and made some new ones.....the county wanted to be partners with the soft drink companies but failed......the city, county, state are all beyond broke......the democRATS collectively stole the States Attorney's office, the judiciary, the jail, while at the same time destroying the police department and diminishing police in numbers.......... And even after all that............ NOT ONE SINGLE REPUBLICAN IN CHICAGO....NO ONES PAYING ATTENTION!!!!!
Rahm lied because his family, going back
many, many, many generations was lied to.
It was incorporated into the family DNA and is
currently expressed through Rahm. Maybe
that's what you did not want to hear, but that's
the way it is. It's the family curse. It's the
killshot.

It's all good - when McStreetlights wins the election as Mayor, he can 'splain it to the Alderthieves that it's an increase in the decrease, and it's all good.
As a beat cop in 012 I want to thank you for calling out that POS Hopkins. The fact the he is LYING in his petition is just the start. He is using the criminal sexual assault of a young woman from the neighborhood to draw media attention and portray himself as some sort of advocate for the police. Just when I thought an alderman couldn’t sink lower than Maldonado he proved its possible. But then, he is the former chief of staff for John Daley.
Ray Charles could’ve seen this coming yet the politicians and the Sheeple didn’t?
C’mon. Wake up Sheeple.
The new normal has yet to sink into the minds of many a future victim.
The compulsion of the newly minted deep thinkers, to "see" the bigger picture, the forest, whilst walking straight and forcefully into a tree, keeps their heads firmly planted up their own ass's.
Remain a fruit and, sooner or later, you shall ripen and be plucked and devoured.
Yeah when we first moved we were crawling on top of each other. We had foot beats for our foot beats. There were more females on that 2nd floor then a Hefner pajama party. But we knew it wouldn't last. Honestly I thought 012 was a bad joke and went to 017.
Take the number of people on the medical abuse program and then take the number of people detailed out to cushy units along with caps personnel and timekeepers and secretaries and the number dips below 250 easily. The main problem isn’t the number of officers, it’s the quality. There are officers in 12 who are big fire department fans and think they should be dispatched from the station so they constantly hang out in the station until they get a job in their sector (10 or 20 sector) and then take 20 minutes to arrive. Offender gone, victim gone...19b. Theses are your desk dollies and future detective that constantly go unsupervised and are not held accountable. 2nd watch mgmt list is a joke for activity. I bet they won’t have 1 good arrest all year between the 15 of them.
So it appears that the huge open air drug market located on Lower Walker and Wabash in the infamous triangle is once again up and running full steam ahead despite those two cute little no trespassing signs the city put up. The filth and trash in huge piles down there are over run with rats, indigents everywhere doing the narco nod and every car that has to stop at the light at Lower Wacker and Michigan are surrounded by nefarious individuals as if they were in zombie land. This is all happening literally under the feet of those people crazy enough to venture down to the Magnificent Mile to enjoy a day of spending their hard earned cash on overpriced everything . . . or just wanting to experience the thrill of getting their cell phone, purse or wallet ripped from their hands by some rambunctious urban youth. How does the powers that be allow this to continue? They shut down the same situation in Pritzker Park on State Street because it was highly visible. Are they allowing the one on Lower Walker to flourish because it is in the not so visible underbelly of the city?
Trim that number down significantly with all the people who just bid out to the airport, mass transit, plus other districts and also take the school officers out of that number. Then you have the old crossing guard supervisor who mysteriously became ill and hit the medical for the past year after getting dumped to midnights but is at every one of her daughters basketball games, the flan sales lady who has also been on the medical and now enjoying herself at call back because of a bad knee but can attend dances and functions that require her to stand for extended periods of time while selling her flan. Check their Facebook pages!
Left 019 almost two years after the merge of 2012. The writing was in the wall and it was the best decision. I’ve met people from both 012 and 013 that said New 012 was just as, or even more, screwed up as 019 was. We all knew it, but the powers-that-be were either too stupid, or too arrogant, and you’re seeing the end results years later. The next five years can’t come soon enough.
FOIA? slum times never heard of it.. unless its about CCL or republicans
Not the ghetto, but 017 has lost OVER 100 officers since 2010.we're in the 160's, pretty good place has gotten steadily worse.
And......the old 013 , new “super 012” is bordered by 011 and the shitty part of 014.
Ukrainian Village is kind of like the frontier. Last stop before the badlands. Reported crime has always been artificially low over there because the Ukrainians didn’t/don’t report a lot of it.
The old Ukrainians began fortifying their apartments in the ‘70s. Very common to find 80 year olds with their windows nailed shut. They trust nobody. KGB, GRU, CPD, people’s/folkses, young Ukies.....makes no difference. They figure everybody wants their treasure.
Of course, the newly settled hipsters know none of this.
It’s really dangerous for young women to be walking around over there after sundown.
Good luck☘️
Well said here SCC. Especially this:
Except that when you dilute the police presence in "quiet neighborhoods" and double the police presence in "crime ridden 'hoods," well.....the criminal isn't completely stupid - they go where the police aren't.
Hopefully,some of the problems the Asshole Aldercreachers are experiencing (from constituents) is because the boys and girls have gone FETAL . I know ! All the Aldercreachers have permits to carry and conceal SO LET THEM EAT CAKE !!!!! Handle the crime assholes Im to busy looking for insurance if I even live to retirement !Thanks again Emanuel you JAGOFF !!!
Sheeple is right. They have no idea that this will amount to nothing. Ain’t no way they are going to reopen a closed district.
White people behave better??!! Try "people from a better social economic Class" behave better. Poor white people and poor black people along with other lower social economic classes of people behave the same especially when lumped into communities/living conditions together. It's just not reported the same.
City Hall is fiddling with the 2018 crimes statistics. They'll have a glorious, back-slapping press conference heralding that shootings, robberies, sexual assaults, smash-n-grabs, etc., are all going down, down, down - in every neighborhood/in every ward. They'll state that there's a 'teeny' upswing in 'minor' offenses, like stealing UPS packages are 'slightly' increasing against the 2016 numbers.
Worked CTA special yesterday, met Mass Trans Commander, Samms,what a shock, it was like meeting the cleaning lady on the Jeffersons, this Dept is nothing but Merit hacks
Rahm does not care about the victims of crime in Chicago.
Rahm doesn't care how out of control crime has become.
People are getting pissed.
People in lower crime areas are getting pissed about the rise in crime in their areas.
Perhaps if enough of those people in lower crime areas are pissed enough they won't be stupid enough to vote for him in the next election.
He doesn't seem bothered at all by the spike in certain crimes in those low crime areas.
He doesn't even seem bothered by the spike in crime in the Mag Mile area.
All he seems to care about is giving away as much tif funds as fast as he can.
I thought the "accidental" superintendent said "crime" was down,so why the extra police?
Ha ha... Butterball Ed sent all dem poleecces to 007, to stop crimes. But not realizing asshole leaked out of 007 via section 8 and CTA.
Every TAX-PAYING district in the city is dangerously low in police manpower and it is only getting worse. But SCC and others have been saying this for years - now all of a sudden an alderman figured it out so now it's news.
Throw in ISRs for everything BS, extended TRRs, body cams for all, Dart putting everyone on house arrest, the State's attys office under charging or afraid to charge without video, judges under sentencing or being too lenient with habitual losers... etc etc and you have a recipe for a perfect shit show
Satellite stations don't work. Look at the one in 008. Looks good on paper and that's about it.
McStreetlights, the drunken fool, made an ass of himself at a private political party at Butch McGuires two weeks ago berating the help and throwing around “do you know who I am?” Because he couldn’t get his way. Do we want a drunken asshat like this as our mayor? NOT!
Think about how the loss of P.O.s has also depleted our detective ranks. Think about how much knowledge and experience we've lost in recent times due to retirement and didn't promote anyone to take their place. Think about how those great detectives left before they had the chance to pass that knowledge, now forever gone, to the on-coming detectives because on-coming detectives were non-existent. What's the current homicide clearance rate? 22% 12%?
Politicians are royalty. The can do whatever they damn well feel like in this town and nothing is going to happen to them. They own the press, the courts, jails, etc. Democracy is long dead in Chicago.
Moved out of the city 40 years ago, you can too.
They’ve done this all over the city. They combined 19/23 and they’re down over a hundred. 016 is down over a 100 in one district. 35th street for years was only worried about the homicide rate. They took every “body” they could and put it on the south and west sides. Literally a cop on every corner. Yet they’re still liking each other at an alarming rate. The bonus is now you have property crime and robberies out of control everywhere else. Truly a failure. This department is laughable. Absolutely no clue. The only exempt I’ve heard that has complained is the 018th District Commander at a Caps meeting. All these Commanders should be shouting from the rooftops but hey no commander has ever been demoted for increased crime rates in their districts so who cares right.
Pay attention? Your kidding these are democratic supporters. They like what they voted for, just watch happens next election. The incumbents will be reelected and things will continue to spiral down. Why would you expect more from brain dead democratic voters. The love being taxed to death, and being crime victims, it's the Chicago Democratic Way.
Why is anyone surprised when politicians are caught lying. It's just what they do, especially democratic politicians in Chicago.

Too dangerous to be the police in 017? Did you actually type that with a straight face?
Shame on Voulgaris for letting the number of officers dwindle further down in 017. Over the years he made a lot of fake promises to citizens and officers, yet manpower is at an all time low. He treats 017 like his own pleasure palace, he all about him!
Guess manpower went to 07, 11 where Rahmacide ,Special Ed touted how they cut crime in Englewood
Dumbass alderman Hopkins just notices the decline in 12 now ??/ LOL
So are you experiencing "white flight" from the underserved "quiet" precincts? If the cops are largely gone, and the criminals are commuting to those precincts to do their "jobs," +one would think the law-abiding residents of those communities would say, "The heck with this nonsense" and move to the burbs.

Republicans on the take with Dimms
Community activism doesn’t work in gentrified areas.
The neighborhood residents and businesses all tried that petition bs and it didn’t work back then and won’t in the future.
Satellite station would need another Full Desk Crew and Merit Supervision.
Bad idea.
With that they could just reopen old 013 and deplete new 012, but it won’t happen as it would likely show the truth in manpower.
Not enough troops plain and simple.
Entirely on the Office of the StoogeIntendant, past and present for going along with the wishes of the community pandering Anti-Police warriors Rahm and Shanks de la Short.
Stay Fetal - Drive Safe - Write a GOCR - Go Home.
I recently ran the numbers for 018, using 2010 census numbers, and based on the numbers of bodies on the sheets at any one time, there is one officer for every 43,000 citizens. What could possibly go wrong?
Well when you use correct logic, it sends the liberal mind in to denial and overload. IF you take away A from area W and move A to area B, and A prevents C, C will move to area W.
duh
Chicago is better off reducing the city council by two thirds!
Alderman are nothing more than thieving part time clowns, making a full time salary!
Can someone ask tribune why comment section is cut off for the scholars arrested for carjacking their reporter?

Very good summary.
(OT) Another democratic controlled shit show:
Outrage as Philly pushes through ban on bulletproof glass in crime-plagued neighborhood shops
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/12/07/outrage-as-philly-pushes-through-ban-on-bulletproof-glass-in-crime-plagued-neighborhood-shops.html
Next it will be have police remove bullet proof vests and carry squirt guns! Democrats are everything wrong with this country especially this corrupt city state crooked county!
Yep. CPD math rules again.
Why hasn't the big bad hard hitting reporters in this city going to criticize Rahm, the City Council, and McCarthy over this issue? I haven't seen any in-depth reporting on this subject. If the tribune wanted to make a real issue on police conduct maybe they would take this issue in a 4-5 day exposé. Another question should be how many police officers have been injured on duty in the last year compared to previous years as a result of manpower shortages? Here a hint to Kevin Graham: Compare the manpower in the districts prior the mergers to today numbers. Then compare the calls for service today as comparted to before the mergers. Then compare how many officers have been injured in the areas in question. Kevin it not hard. I thought you were going to fight for the union membership. Too bad we don't have union leadership with the balls of the leadership in New York City. Lets fact it, Rahm is just as bad as the mayor of New York. We are so screwed.
They gambled that if they closed 014 and merged them with 012 it would be fine because of gentrification and most of the 013 projects getting ripped down. At the time the new row houses that replaced the ABLAs weren’t open yet and crime in 012 was gone. Also, the jets in 013 were ripped down on warren and Washington BLVDs killing crime in 013. The problem that they didn’t think of is that the now Newley gentrified areas would be a perfect hunting location for the criminals. A candy land of sorts where easy pickings are plentiful. Hot cars, carjackings and robberies are out of control because there are no coppers to stop the bad guys coming in. They come in hot cars, do the crimes and get out quick with no police around. The bosses are still worried about gang related shootings and dope and keep the tac teams on the west end of the district hitting the gangs along western Ave and the border of 011. Meanwhile the real crimes are happening in Greek town and around the academy with not a tac team in sight because the bosses want that bag of dope a day arrest from Jackson and western. Ass backwards. Who cares about dope and pool getting shot at western and Jackson. Let em go.
Brian Hopkins is a Rahm ass kisser and friend of ex Edgar press guy pr guy and friend of rick Simon. Hopkins is lying as he knows what Rahm has done but wants to play both ends of the fence because he’s thinking about running for mayor. He’s kissing up to the republicrat combine while still being buddies with Rahm and Reilly. He’s way way too friendly with developers and can not be trusted.
Rahm has cut police to the bone, removed police that were left from taxpaying communities to the non-taxpayers to the taker communities! Look at how being as the black leaders call it "over policed" has let the savages roam to every communities even the once safe communities as the carjackings and violent crime rises there! this is the "taxation without representation" mantra!
Look at the destruction rahm has directly caused:
*bloodshed
*Murder
*Crime rise
*Violence
*closing multiple mental health treatment centers causing the :crazies to roam and cause mayhem!
*Closes over 50 schools then spends billions building new ones as attendance dwindles and people both Black and white flee this corrupt city-state-county (who gets the cash filled envelopes?)
*The JVD tape when did he see it?
*Ruthlessly ripping away CPD retirees health care and they giving millions to protect illegals boldly violating federal immigration laws!
*add your own so much more wasted!
Number of people living in the newly created district, and typical daily calls for service should dictate the number of officers assigned there. Policing isn't rocket science. You don't assign officers where the call volume is much lower than in your busy districts.
Hahahaha!!! One democrat bawling about the lies told by another democrat.
Close'em down, it'll save money and still have the same number of cops in the 'hood.
Hahahaha!!! Dumbasses! (Nevermind, the Police are the problem. Hahahaha!!!)
J.J.
to the JAGS that keep calling everyone idiots because the city says we have 800 short of 12,500 and pension stats say the same, yet every officer see s how short the district really r makes u either blind or drinking the city kool-aid. Don t know where the city can be hiding the 3000 we are short.3 less districts, 2 less areas, numerous units gone. Someone need to do a forensic audit and call out how the city has been stealing millions from the police budget at the expense of lives.
McCarthy was towing the party line. All superMario’s tell you what the mayor wants them to. Sure they shouldn’t lie but that’s the nature of the beast. The other possibility, yes slim, is that streetlight was unaware of 9.5’s intention to decimate the man power once the merger(s) occured.
All communities need coverage. Neither stations or the Areas should’ve been closed except maybe 021. On the other hand, as soon as 021 closed, the IIT staff/ students, Prairie Shores Residents and the Lake Meadows Apartment Residents experienced an increase in Robberies. In recent news, China Town residents are being robbed and carjacked. Oh yeah I forgot about the home invasions and package thefts. Last but not least, Dunbar High School requires the presence of entire 001st District Tact Team during their school Dismissal.
They closed 021 at the same time the Ickes Homes Residents and the Cabrini Green Residents relocated to the Dearborn Homes. What a war that was! Whose idea was that?
Most bank robberies occur around 1500hrs in the 001st District. Even the criminal knows.....

What, should they pay to issue new nametags, change all the stationery, rewrite all the court stuff, confuse all the residents, to make YOU happy?
025 became 025 thirty-five years ago. There's no need to confuse everyone because YOU see a conspiracy.
- double the police presence in "crime ridden 'hoods," -
I hope you don't mean Pilsen (yes Pilsen still hood, I'm talking about doubling the presence !!
As a copper who lives in Pilsen (and there's many of us) there's days even a week that I don't see a beat car pass the front of my house!
The fact that they combined 2 "retirement" districts into one only meant one thing for residents of 012/013--- we got twice the dog asses!
Elite elected class saving money for the illegal aliens at the working classes expense. Rahmie and company do it again.

It doesn’t matter if ANYONE gets hurt. You need to stop being a sheep. People are dying all over the city. And if you think for a second that if a cop gets killed that they will care about us? You are most certainly a sheep. Exactly what the city wants you to be.
This is the kicker: “It would be a symbol to the community that they have not been abandoned by the Chicago Police Department,” Hopkins said.”
HOPKINS YOU MORON!!! They’ve already adandoned us!!! Where the fuck have you been?! You and your partners who voted for this abandoned us too when you supported this.
And why the faux outrage NOW?
You should resign.
An officer was in 12th district this summer and called in a 10-1. Took more than TEN MINUTES to get help.
Some people respect the rights and property of others and some folks don't. Some people wait their turn in line and some folks don't. Some people want a seat at the table of civilization and some folks don't.
The pro crime anti cop, pro Rahm, pro BLM, pro minority criminals are already attacking McCarthy. There was no bad behavior at butch’s. Keep on carrying Rahm’s water losers. Your boy Rahm is over as well as your hair jelled, skinny jeans, desk dolly, merit scum.
When is gutless Rahm ass kisser commander of the first district going to stand up and get more police or is he going to continue to ass kiss the incompetent pro BLM pro criminal alderscum of dowell and Sophia, “I’m friends with the Obamas” king. She is the product of Preckwinkle like Cabrini Kim is.

Get over it. Those stats are right. So FOP doesn’t have stats. I don’t hear them complaining. They have the list of all active po’s who have dues and po’s who have fair share taken out
Pension board has audits every year and has records of sworn paying in and clear has a numerical listing of every sworn member. Get a calculator and count them.
Yea jag, you work in a district and that shows you the manpower of the CPD and everyone else, PENSION BOARD, FOP, and CLEAR. are wrong
Bet you still believe the earth is flat

017 the other night, 3 separate shootings, an armed takeover robbery and a car jacking. Doing more with less. A cluster fuck of epic proportion. No one is assigned to fill the cars and lo and behold, a problem happens. They've been skating with this foolishness for several years now, stripping manpower out of the district with promotions, retirements and people bidding out occasionally and replacing very few of the numbers that left. Well, you got what you want, it is now too dangerous to be the police in 017. You have no back up. If you get into trouble, you will either have to over react or take what happens with only a partner to back you up. I don't know about Rahm and fat Ed, but I'm not getting killed or disabled to satisfy your need to reduce the manpower in what was a very safe district. There's no one here. The city and department don't want heavy handed tactics, fine, we got the message, what are you supposed to do? Run away? I am so through with this planned disaster waiting to get one of us killed.

Too dangerous to be the police in 017? Did you actually type that with a straight face?
I hope you include the front office po’s commanders office and CAPS in that idiotic statement. Maybe that’s why they are short, all the po’s in 011, 007 are afraid to transfer there because it’s too dangerous you tool

Think about how the loss of P.O.s has also depleted our detective ranks. Think about how much knowledge and experience we've lost in recent times due to retirement and didn't promote anyone to take their place. Think about how those great detectives left before they had the chance to pass that knowledge, now forever gone, to the on-coming detectives because on-coming detectives were non-existent. What's the current homicide clearance rate? 22% 12%?
They have made detective classes. Detective. There knowledge is gone forever. How could that be. The new people coming on are better educated and sure feel they are smarter than we ever were
That’s not the reason clearance rates are down. The makeup of the detective division is one reason and the second reason is half the time there are more working inside thanones on the street

to the JAGS that keep calling everyone idiots because the city says we have 800 short of 12,500 and pension stats say the same, yet every officer see s how short the district really r makes u either blind or drinking the city kool-aid. Don t know where the city can be hiding the 3000 we are short.3 less districts, 2 less areas, numerous units gone. Someone need to do a forensic audit and call out how the city has been stealing millions from the police budget at the expense of lives.
I’m one of those jags you are talking about if you want an audit read the pension boards annual report which lists the number of sworn members. They are audited every year and have accountants audit the fund every year. If they are inflating the number of sworn how would they account for all the missing funds if like you say we are 3,000 down if they list 12,200 sworn they better account for 9% of those 12,200
salaries that were deducted and the fund received. That’s why they are audited and have accountants
Also, po’s live longer on average than 1 1/2 years after retirement because I’m sure you still believe that too
White people behave better??!! Try "people from a better social economic Class" behave better. Poor white people and poor black people along with other lower social economic classes of people behave the same especially when lumped into communities/living conditions together. It's just not reported the same.
You're right. But you need to keep it relative to the city in which we reside. When Chicago's lower working class poor living in tenements and over crowded neighborhoods were white folk, the majority of the crime was being caused by them.
But, keeping the argument relative to 2017 Chicago, the majority of lower working class poor are people of color. The white population, on average, are either professionals, artists(millenials) or city workers. The poor working class whites followed the jobs out of the city and refused to go onto welfare.
The democratic party has created this divide.
The democratic party calls law enforcement racist due to the fact the majority of inmates at Cook County are people of color.
The majority incarcerated are people of color due to the socio-economic make up of this city which was created, by design, by the democratic politicians in order to own the votes.
So you are correct, but SSC is also correct relatively speaking in that the white population in 2017 Chicago acts better than the non-white population.
When are these people going to realize we are short thousands of officers
Put the inside secretaries out on the street. Hire retirees to do inside work at a lot less than the city pays a full duty cop

That makes logical sense which is why it will never happen in Chicago

McStreetlights, the drunken fool, made an ass of himself at a private political party at Butch McGuires two weeks ago berating the help and throwing around “do you know who I am?” Because he couldn’t get his way. Do we want a drunken asshat like this as our mayor? NOT!

Were you there? I was standing right by him. He nicely asked if he could cut through the kitchen because it was nearly impossible to get from the back bar to the front door. If anyone made a scene it was the employee who blocked him. She bragged after he left how she’d stood up to him.

“I was standing right by him” my ass!!!! YOU ARE HIM!!!!
LOL!!! We all know McCarthy reads SCC now.
So Gerry, while we still have your attention, how’s it feel to be called out by SCC? Look at the mess you made back in the day.
Get over it. Those stats are right. So FOP doesn’t have stats. I don’t hear them complaining.
1st off most coppers believe the union is in bed with the city. Names were changed to protect the the prior board. Second if u read this subject most are writing how short every district is and how dangerous it is with the shortage. FROM THE 330 THAT WERE IN EVERY DISTRICT IN THE 90 S TO UNDER 200 now. So big guy, where are all the coppers hiding. So keep pissing on the district guys and tell them its raining, because hey no agency lies. Something is not adding up in the eyes of most coppers. They see it every day.

Hiring retirees cuts the number of active POs paying into your pension fund. Wake up. If you’re that fuckin’ jealous, try to join them. I did 35 years on this job, mostly in patrol on the street. I did get several opportunities to work “spots” for several years. It was all good, I suggest you try to get one.
The majority of the primary minority are not the "working class" and have not been for generations. Generational welfare for the predominant minority in most large cities has become a way of life and proudly passed down to next generation. Why work when someone is stupid enough to provide you with everything you need in life. Food, housing, clothing, medical services, free education, spending monies and internet service. Only fools work and pay taxes is the minority mantra, that and the blame game. But keep voting Democratic it's really working well for someone.

Hey, Jagoff. I’m not “Gerry” or even Garry. Believe me or not. I don’t give a rat’s ass.
I'm a citizen in 13 who is fed up with the crime increase. Taxes go up, up, up. Police staffing goes down, down, down. Crime goes up, up, up. The police need more manpower....to protect themselves and the community. It is a disgrace that the powers that be have put all our lives at risk.
Looking for quick hit ideas that can make a difference that I can help promote. I like the idea of hiring retirees as a stop gap until the manpower can be brought onboard. Why won't that idea work? Who would oppose it and why?
Also I heard there was an option to hire off duty police officers funded by SSA. Is that a good idea?
08:23 - Contact the Southport Community Alliance, they have a patrol with off duty & retired police.

"...I am a citizen in 13..."
Move to the 'Ville. You'll be happier.
