More VRI?

Well, not VRI per se.

Summer Mobile is covering the ghetto.

Michigan Avenue merchants have made enough noise that there is a strong rumor from 35th Street that an extra 150 spots per night will be manned starting before 04 July.

Rahm's magical money tree will provide the funding.

The city is throwing money at the problem with no accounting for results. It seems we don't have enough police. All the overtime initiatives will continue because the people running things are clueless. If this were war war III we would all be dead with these fools.

We need a new mayor.

Obviously, there are not enough police to contain the crime in this city, so a lot of people are working overtime, whether voluntary or days off cancelled.

This new Michigan Ave. plan is called “another genius democratic band aid”.

The Gold Coast is alive with pickpockets during the day and evening. They pray on people ( usually women) at restaurants, at hotels and even within the confines of Northwestern Memorial Hospital ( which is surprisingly easy to roam around in). Add to that the roving packs of gang members who like to cause mayhem and you are not safe there at night.

Michigan Ave. VRI used to be good investment money. I stopped doing it because the liability/risk factor is now way out of our favor. Gotta minimize my contact with the public and nurture/guard my investments until I can leave. Really don’t feel like being filmed by assholes from Northbrook while merit cloutorious 4 star exempt is screaming at me to “herd” young, Black boys to an el station. VRI now has “loser” written all over it. Good luck.🍀

This has very little to do with a lack of police on the streets, but it has everything to do with a lack of accountability for criminal actions. This is all on Kim Foxx, Toni Preckwinkle, Tom Dart and the Mayor. In other words: The blame is on the politicians and their vote buying schemes.

Does per night mean Fri-Sat-Sun and does 150 mean an additional 2 Lts, 12 Sgts, 10 Admin housemice?
or
Just drain the NWside Districts and Area North of their least senior ranks.
Redistribute the mystery money for sanctuary ID cards, parades, carnivals, CAPS community cookouts and jungle gyms or more gun turn in gift cards.

Standing around and watching the feral RahmKids run amuck at time and a half, calling a beat car for a report or arrest (at straight time)?
I thinks this can work wonders for the Gold Coast and the prestige of Lo Energy Special Ed...if they relax the No Foot Chase policy, allow each po-po to carry 10 pr. of handcuffs, even if all felonies get immediate downgrade to ANOV or RWOC.

Make Rahm Great Again.

I really don't see the logic of adding more police since they will NEVER outnumber the hood rats and cockroaches. It's like putting a band aid over the problem. And this is just ONE of the many reasons that I have zero respect just because people have a college education (rahm) because most of them are overeducated beyond their intelligence. (rahm and most of the higher ups in the cpd - made obvious by the spineless way they deal with the rats, cockroaches, etc. that have infiltrated the city.

O.T. I think we should all voice our opinion on the latest survey for the Officer Homebuyer Assistance Program. The website address is located on the Wire in the Administrative Message Center for June 5th. I didn't post it here in case some outsiders wanted to falsely gush about it. Below is my response for the 2nd to last question.

The program does not interest me at all. These neighborhoods have horrible schools and large gang problems. Having a few first responders move in will not make a difference on how people act and raise their children. No amount of financial incentives can sway me to purchase in any of these areas. Having to watch my back, worrying about a break in, worrying about my family and property is not worth it. We as 1st responders already have enough stress as it is, coming home shouldn't be another stress on our lives. I for one cannot fathom why we are still the only major city with such an antiquated residency requirement for our 1st responders.

Hey dumbass, take a few minutes to learn something. A minimum level activity for working an overtime assignment is perfectly acceptable. You cannot have a quota based standard for TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS that negatively impact your PRIMARY job. You are NOT entitled to any overtime assignment such as VRI. The department can set any standard they want for VRI consideration. They cannot use your TRAFFIC VIOLATION activity against you or for your evaluations.

Actually Mich Ave has been lost for a LONG time, remember "Black Friday"? Letting it burn is the only way to get the attention of people of influence to call out the damage done going back to Barack Obama's Traffic Stop Study. It's time to take the nations Insurgents(BLM,Antifa) and put them back in the Liberal Sewers they grew out of.

You are absolutely right. I adopted your approach about two years ago. I feel so much better spending time with family, getting rest and just not being at this job. Our labor has amounted to nothing, it goes unappreciated and will only lead to self-ruin. Sure, the extra money is nice but you adjust to not having it. Well, I did and hope the rest of you figure out a way.

Downtown, north side, it doesn’t matter. It’s a matter of time. I just hope the north side holds out a little longer so I can retire and move. The liberals will hang a cop if things go sideways. Hell, sometimes if things go good you’re getting hanged by COPA, the courts or department. Michigan Avenue is on the path to ruin. It will be a slow and ugly death. Don’t be a hero for a city and citizenry that hates you. Risk your life for your family and the grateful, not the weak and the spiteful.

Take care all and welcome back to your family.

How many showed up for the "March Against Rahm?"
200. Half were retired.
You think anyone will boycott OT?
COPS NEVER STICK TOGETHER!

We're suppose to be fetal, but
everyday, on every shift, on every zone,
there is a foot and/or auto chase.
COPS are getting jammed for things that happened
15 yrs ago. Things they were given high awards for.

I've been fetal for several years.
I've also stopped responding to these stupid chases.
I'm not getting involved in stupid stuff.
I'm not getting fired or go to prison because
you continue to be stupid!

Wake up, "real police work" is OVER.
Its been over for ten years, maybe longer.
You do something proactive today 100% correct.
But in 5, 10 , 20 years a states attorney, IAD, COPA, ACLU,
FBI , Lovey & Lovey, a community organizer, newspaper or any SOB
can reopen the case with intentions of putting you, and everyone
else involved or on scene, in jail.

FYI: I was at the 23 May march.
I was sick to my stomach at the pathetic turn out.
Also, I don't volunteer to work any OT.

This is fuckin hilarious. Desperate city. They’ll never figure out that they, the media, snowflakes, ACLU and DOJ caused the police to go fetal. Nothing is going to bring us back. Watching their desperation increase as nothing solves their problems is just making me smile. After being kicked around so much, it feels good to see the people that hate us get what they wanted.

And the “leadership” will tell them: “Don’t arrest anyone, don’t chase anyone, if someone wants a report, refer them to the district.”

It’s a joke: same thing as the window details on state st over Xmas, summer mobile now... Supervisors didn’t want anyone working. “Be
Visible and keep your mouth shut. Just give people directions and walk around.”
