NYC Subway Bombing

Following the terror attack in New York City, the CPD brass sent out their spokesweasel to do his best Kevin Bacon impersonation:


  • Chicago police will increase the visibility of patrol officers in transit hubs on Monday in response to a suspected act of terrorism in New York City, local officials announced on social media.

    Anthony [Google-me], a spokesman for the Chicago Police Department, wrote on Twitter "there are no credible threats to Chicago." He also wrote that CPD stands with the people of New York and the New York Police Department, referring to news reports of a man strapping a pipe bomb to himself and detonating it inside a subway station near Times Square.
A tiny bit of truth slipped into the next paragraph by accident:
  • In response, Chicago police plan to make officers "highly visible" at CTA stops and Metra rail stations, according to another tweet, that one from the police department's Twitter handle. [Google-me] says the call was made by Superintendent Eddie Johnson, though it isn't clear whether more officers will actually be working or whether they will just be posted in more public spaces.
Unsaid is that the CTA has over 224 miles of track and the Mass Transit Section fields approximately 18 Officers per watch to monitor those 224 miles. It's has been posted here that McCompStat was appalled at the tiny number of officers assigned to Mass Transit, and it certainly looks like no one has done a thing since. Hopefully, the lesson isn't learned in dead bodies.

Mass transit had 10 bid openings, transfer order came out and on top of the 10 bid spots they also sent 10 more on management. Also known as phone calls. How can that be 50/50 shouldn’t they then open 20 bid spots?? Same thing with both airports and that traffic unit. Is there a limit on management spots vs bid spots??

What is clear, is that the mayor has lot control of the police department and the members of the department have lost confidence in the political class. Crime is rising, violent crime is rising and the arrest rate and murder clearance rate is the lowest of any big city in the nation. It is time for the mayor to stop the nepotism and cronyism and political patronage within the Chicago Police Department, clean house of the do nothings and back the working men and women of this great police department. And, turn over the promotion cheating investigation to an independent law firm for investigation.

And out of whose ass are all of these soon-to-be
"Highly Visible" Policemen going to be pulled from?

There ARE no spare Policemen laying around to be
screwed into/out of these imaginary "high visibility"
slots that Rahm, the exempts and local media feverishly
flap their rattling, raggedy dick-beaters about.

One more big push and Rahm al-Ghoul will kinetically
and spontaneously self-disassemble where all can see.

Rahm's been leaning on his U.S. and Israeli
intel snitches so that he could "stick it in the Cops ear"
by starving it of manpower and funding...

The smartest man in any room he deigns to stand in...

...Little wet-eyed punk.

Police Like You Have No Friends.

It's not so much if, but when.

Now that formerly safe areas of this city are equally
imperiled like the garden spots?

CPD spokesperson, "There are no credible threats to Chicago." And there were no credible threats to New York City until it happened! CPD will "increase the visibilty of patrol officers." With what, mirrors? That would only double them. Maybe they are going to pull off the parable of the loaves & fishes like Jesus did when he had a crowd of 5,000 but only 5 loaves and 2 fish. And he was able to feed them all. Maybe the CPD has figured out this miracle!

Many areas concerning public safety are dangerously short on manpower and the ones running the show could care less. Corrupt democratic ways obviously appeal to the sheep of this city, county and state. This country itself is also in a sad state of affairs. False narratives and free entitlements ensure future votes while society declines. Left wing radicalism coupled with liberalism are truly a mental disorder equivalent to the inmates running the asylum.

18 POLICE OFFICERS ON A WATCH TO COVER
The Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) operates the nation’s second largest public transportation system. On an average weekday, 1.6 million rides are taken on CTA.
CTA has 1,888 buses that operate 130 routes and 1,301 route miles. Buses make about 18,843 trips a day and serve 10,813 bus stops.
On the rapid transit system, CTA’s 1,492 rail cars operate eight routes and 224.1 miles of track. CTA trains make about 2,276 trips each day and serve 145 stations.
Chicago is one of the few cities in the world that has rail service to two major airports. CTA’s Blue Line ‘L’ can take customers to O’Hare International Airport. Orange Line trains, which operate clockwise on the Loop ‘L’ structure, travel to Midway Airport.
CTA also provides around-the-clock service on certain routes. During late night and early morning hours, major rail lines and some of CTA’s bus routes offer “Night Owl”
NOW THAT' S PLANNING BY THE CPD you are ALONE if you use the CTA OH and if you have a concealed carry sorry its a no gun zone unless you are a thug robbing unarmed riders But the police are the Problem

I was at the kris kringle mart yesterday with the family. This market is a pretty soft and desirable target for the muslim extremists. Yea i said it. Especially with the christmas market attack a year or so ago (cant remember which country). So u think that coupled with the recent attack in new york that chicago would rovide soome police presence right? Nope we were there for over 2 hours and i didnt see a signle fucking police officer or vehicle. This city is pathetically unprepared. Luckily i dont rely on others had 2 tourniquets, and quickclot on hand for the family. Gotta protect yourself in this shithole city. This is the only thing we go downtown for as its a family tradition. Otherwise i wouldnt step foot in that craphole downtown.

My guess is most people on CTA look like suspects!

Sadly, the airports, stadiums, malls, transit hubs, etc make you want to stay locked up at home!

You try to do your job or are alert, aware of your surroundings and in some cases, your hands are tied, sadly. Very different "culture" from my growing up. Good luck.

Some news outlets were calling it an “attempted” terror attack.
Tampening down the fear even though they shut down NYC Times Sq. both mayor and governor said terror will not disrupt NYC.
Goofs tried via MSM to poo-poo the whole thing. Blowing yourself up in a subway corridor, nah, that won’t disrupt nothing.
NYPD had a great response, manpower and equipment for something their elected try to brush off.

Attempt mass murder was what Our President called it.

The Right Man for the Right Time™ or his band of Merry Merit Maroons have only words to protect the citizens.
Very few P.O.s are going to randomly stop backpacking commuters because Rahm feels that’s too demeaning, insulting and not who we are.
Look who's in charge of Mass Transit and the buck stops there.
Supplement the scrawny crew with Spec Employees is about all there is...to increase “visibility” of the invisible Mass Transit Unit.
It’s real a surprise we aren’t wearing pink hats yet.

There’s no plan. Only a reaction.

See something - Say something... when was the last time you called 9-1-1 to report a suspicious person in your back yard?

If the Police need firearms to protect themselves, why would you not need one?

The best thing that could happen for CPD would be for some outfit to stage a fake terrorist attack. Maybe hidden smoke bombs at several locations timed to go off at the same time. Tons of possibilities. Then watch CPD scramble to make sense out of the chaos.

Point being, that old "credible threat" BS means nothing. Depending on the definition of 'credible threat', one bad guy with a gun is a threat, a small-time 'terrorist' of sorts.

So what defines "credible threat?" How many people die?

It’s hard to run people over when your weapon/vehicle is carjacked.
It’s hard to start a mass shooting when nobody shops in your city because of taxes and muggings
It’s hard to blow up a train filled with passengers when they bring their own guns, knifes on the L and have no regard for human life them selves.

Given that the CPD can't even prevent all the robberies being committed by the thugs, I'm not very confident in their ability to sniff out potential terrorist actions.

Mass transit had 10 bid openings, transfer order came out and on top of the 10 bid spots they also sent 10 more on management. Also known as phone calls. How can that be 50/50 shouldn’t they then open 20 bid spots?? Same thing with both airports and that traffic unit. Is there a limit on management spots vs bid spots??

Maybe all the inside spots don’t count. Lol. Those percentages don’t count anymore. Contract isn’t enforced. All he has to do is detail po’s in and they can stay for 20 years. Nobody watches the management spots

CPD spokesperson, "There are no credible threats to Chicago." And there were no credible threats to New York City until it happened! CPD will "increase the visibilty of patrol officers." With what, mirrors? That would only double them. Maybe they are going to pull off the parable of the loaves & fishes like Jesus did when he had a crowd of 5,000 but only 5 loaves and 2 fish. And he was able to feed them all. Maybe the CPD has figured out this miracle!

I was at the kris kringle mart yesterday with the family. This market is a pretty soft and desirable target for the muslim extremists. Yea i said it. Especially with the christmas market attack a year or so ago (cant remember which country). So u think that coupled with the recent attack in new york that chicago would rovide soome police presence right? Nope we were there for over 2 hours and i didnt see a signle fucking police officer or vehicle. This city is pathetically unprepared. Luckily i dont rely on others had 2 tourniquets, and quickclot on hand for the family. Gotta protect yourself in this shithole city. This is the only thing we go downtown for as its a family tradition. Otherwise i wouldnt step foot in that craphole downtown.

Since 2013, or so, the department LOST approximately 27 subject matter experts to retirements, promotions and other details. CPD, jointly with other federal agencies, spent millions of dollars training these individuals. You would hope the idea to harvest some of that experience exists rather than re-inventing the wheel and go through trial and error, with new bodies, so we do not end up where we started 4 years ago!! threats are evolving and we pray so is our readiness!!

Is there a public transportation section? I see those working special in the transit detail cars following buses and at the train stations but I don't see any of the regular foot patrol public transportation officers on the train or bus. I have seen them getting a haircut, getting their nails done, drinking coffee, eating dinner or shopping. You never hear any of them answer up on the radio for a call. It is always the special employment cars who are responding to the calls. They might as well disband the whole unit and just make it all special employment. Looks like the public trans are all old timers and prima donnas.

going to handle an organized terrorist attack? You know that movie "Patriots Day" about the Boston bombings. Yeah...Chicago would be the exact opposite. Imagine all the merit morons running around too scared to make a real decision for themselves. It's gonna be a sad sight.

Lets say a CPD officer assigned to field duties observed a similar individual like the N.Y. bomber wearing a device complete with wires and nylon ties. Lets say it was a harmless replica bomb looking device and not a weapon of mass destruction. The officer investigates in the interest of the public's safety.

Can the legally vulnerable officer satisfy the anti-American aclu's "reasonable articulable suspicion" requirements, conform to a general order prohibiting profiling, meet the high standards of the inside do nothing but to justify their house mouse spot in internal auditing units, conform to state mandated body worn camera recording procedures as required by law and weigh public safety concerns while constantly juggling and second guessing your every move to be in conformance to so many non-common sense contradictory requirements?

If you stop a terrorist threat you are a hero. If your stop/pat down/inquiry was determined not to be a threat, your good faith efforts to protect average everyday law abiding citizens opens up the street level officer up to violations of civil rights, violating general orders, accusations of profiling, creation of lots of silly redundant reports for the plantiff's attorney for discovery which were sold to "protect" officers from liability, discipline for violating so many competing requirement traps, risking one's professional reputation and lawsuits. As a taxpayer, do you feel safe with so few officers? What about the roadblocks put in place discouraging officers from taking action to counter threats to the public? The risks and subsequent negative consequences outweigh the pro-active instincts of an officer to protect the public.

It is almost like the pendulum has swung in the direction of those who seek to harm the public whether it be terrorism in nature or the everyday criminal. The mayor rides around in an armored vehicle with lots of armed bodyguards. Do you think he is concerned about public safety?

2. Not employed in a profession requiring contact with other people, in any quantity whatsoever.....

3. Not employed, yet, somehow, manage to feed your face and have access to the internet......

Take a look back, SOS may be issues but it worked, so did TRU. MSF worked for a bit but got sidetracked by idiot bosses. Chicago needs units like SOS at the ready at all times to move when needed. I worked in every unit that ended as SOS and when stuff hit the fan, we were there. The jealous people didn't like us but we made a difference but because one Lt.let guys run wild the unit was done . This Vincent is a good, she worked in SOS and was a medical roll queen and did nothing.
