Hypocritical Tribune

(As an aside to newer readers who have been confused, we offer the following directory to SCC nicknames:
  • Moperah - Mary Mitchell (slum times);
  • Doperah - Dawn Trice Turner (tribune);
  • MoperahLite - Dahleen Glanton (tribune);
On with the story.)

What a bunch of assholes are working over at the Tribune. A few days ago, we pointed out that MoperahLite had taken an open field shot at the CPD for doing great police work and making Kimesha Foxxx look good with a double conviction in the Pendleton murder by invoking the specter of "Burge!"

Then two days later, they point out the single arrest after 75 people (and folks) got shot earlier in August (see our post directly under this one) and then post this editorial bullshit:
  • Chicago desperately needs to end the plague of gun violence that shatters lives and destroys neighborhoods. To stop the bloodletting, and restore sanity to areas of the South and West sides, would require building up broken families and neutering gangs. A complex task.

    The simpler imperative is solving crimes when they occur, but Chicago falls woefully short on this obligation too. Last year, the Chicago Police Department solved only about 17 percent of the homicides committed. The clearance rate, as it’s called, for nonfatal shootings was an abysmal 5 percent.

    [...] To prevent and solve crimes, CPD needs to be seen as a trustworthy community presence and partners. This has not been the reality in Chicago, where many minority residents fear the police because of the department’s troubling record of tolerating excess force and abusive behavior. One grim result of the disconnect is Chicago’s long roster of shooting victims, most of them minorities. Ending the pattern starts with City Hall completing its agreement to give a federal judge oversight of reforms to supervision, training and accountability.
Wait - didn't you morons just allow MoperahLite to obliquely slander the CPD Detectives because one happened to be among maybe 400 detectives who worked at the same time "Burge!" did? How does that help build any sort of trust? Or is that what is actually eroding trust?

"Burge!" was fired in 1993. Something like three-fifths of the current Department wasn't even on the job when "Burge!" was fired. Around one-fourth weren't even born. How are they supposed to bear any responsibility for "Burge!"? Does the absence of reporting these facts somehow erode trust?

As for the editorial board claiming, "Chicago’s long roster of shooting victims, most of them minorities," we're already had our stat people show those numbers to be (A) vastly perpetrated by other minorities and (B) barely 1.3% shot by the police. And that 1.29% that the police shot, the Tribune offers no numbers to show how many were (A) armed, (B) shooting at the police or (C) in the act of shooting/maiming someone else. Is that eroding trust, too?

How about being part of the solution instead of perpetuating the problem? Of course, that might involve putting a muzzle on the "po' po' pitiful me" chorus from these no-talent racist hacks who write for your rags.

Yep, that’s the trash media hustle.

Zero in and hype the shit out of the 1.29% Police involved shootings, ignore the fact many of those shot were armed, and either threatening the police or others — and — ignore that almost all the 98.71% of the remaining shootings involved blacks shooting blacks.

Citing facts like that, and not getting brainwashed by the fiction the Tribune prints is not profiling blacks or making an indictment on all blacks.

It is just the honest truth.

There are many blacks that are responsible and good citizens. They are the biggest victims alive.

Unfortunately, in Chicago there are many that are killing eatch other.

And, that’s not going to change until the black community admits that, and starts doing something about it.

If government cheese solved the problem, the problem would have been solved decades ago.

The Tribune isn’t going to admit that, and report on that because they are not interested in a real solution.

They are interested sowing the blame covers shame meme to keep many blacks on the Democrat reservation.

If the Poleece iz Proactive/Aggressive, den dey iz da Probliem! If da Poleece is intimidated into being Reactive/Passive, dey iz still da Prolem. SIMPLY PUT,DA POLEECE IZ DA PROBLEM! Yet, when Da Kommumity iz killing each other, or almost anything else that goes wrong, Da Poleece is called. Politicians don't respond to Social Issues at 03:00 hrs.(3 a.m.). Storefront self-ordained "Revruns", many of whom reside outside of Chicago do not respond to their flock in the middle of the night, and that includes Fr. Faker.(Note: Fr. Faker has been keeping a low profile since he crossed Ashland leading a protest that nearly caused some of his flock to get shot.) Lia Madigan, the ACLU, Northwestern Madill School of Journalism; all of the aforementioned do not respond to the needs of Da Kommunity, when they need it. Jon Burge was fired 25 years ago, yet kids in the Chicago Public School system, thanks to Rahm, McCarthy, and the ACLU are taught that Chicago Police are evil, and racist. Since the Chicago Public schools are overwhelmingly Minority; how would anyone with half a brain expect these youths to trust Chicago Police? An entire generation of CPS students have been fed a false narrative, and in essence been poisoned, and again note, most of them are Minority. They have been FORMALLY and INTENTIONALLY taught to Distrust and Hate Chicago cops! And then there is the Media and Politicians who continue to push the False Narrative that Cops are committing a Genocide on People of Color. WOULD PEOPLE JUST REVIEW THE FACTS: PEOPLE OF COLOR ARE KILLING PEOPLE OF COLLOR AT AN ALARMING RATE. CHICAGO COPS HAVE KILLED 4 PEOPLE THIS YEAR, OF THE 380 HOMICIDES. 2,015 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SHOT in Chicago so far this year. CHICAGO POLICE HAVE SHOT 14 of those PEOPLE or FOLKS this year; WHO SHOT THE OTHER 2,001? ANYWHERE BUT CHICAGO, THESE STATS WOULD HAVE CITIZENS DEMANDING THE REPLACEMENT OF THE HEAD OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THE MAYOR! TWO THOUSAND AND FIFTEEN PEOPLE SHOT IN CHICAGO THIS YEAR! HAVE WE BECOME SO NUMB THAT WE ACCEPT THIS AS NORMAL? IS THERE NO ACCOUNTABILITY OTHER THAN BLAMING THE POLICE and waiting for the next election? Instead of blaming the Police, how about blaming the Mayor and Superintendent of Police. Who in the Media has the Balls to tell the Mayor that he HAS FAILED, AND PEOPLE OF COLOR HAVE DIED AND BLED BECAUSE OF IT. BLACK AND BROWN KIDS WILL BE PISSING INTO PLASTIC TUBES FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES. OTHERS WILL BE WHEELCHAIR BOUND FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES, AND THOUSANDS HAVE BEEN SLAUGHTERED SINCE RAHM TOOK OFFICE. WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE, AND WHERE IS THE ACCOUNTABILITY? IS LYNCHING VAN DYKE GOING TO APPEASE THE MOB? DO NOTHING MORE THAN SMILE, WAVE AND ANSWER YOUR CALLS. ANY CONTACT BEYOND THAT SHOULD REQUITRE A CALL FOR A SUPERVISOR. STAY SAFE, and relax Rahm's got your back. If you play police, don't expect anyone to buy tickets to your benefit! Baby "G"

Part I:


...And THIS editorial donkey dung right here.

"In fact, more good policing of all kinds is needed.
So is more intolerance of crime among law-abiding Chicagoans,
more willingness among witnesses to speak — and, ultimately,
more cases solved. The CPD’s abysmal arrest rates are an
impediment to a safer city."

Ok...

What is this "good policing" do these ignorant editorial
board members speak of?

The politically weaponized Catered-To Constituencies,
the ACLU, #blm, the white guilt liberal progressive
Alinskyite-SJWs and their allies in Chicago print
and TV media have expended much energy in their effort
to bastardize and shut down ANYTHING remotely resembling
"good policing."

Now, because they're getting the bland, flavorless,
un-sexy Policing that they've been yelling and shouting for
and NOW, all of a sudden, The Police aren't doing
enough, when before they were doing too much...

"Intolerance of crime" is "racist."

Police... Putting BEE-AY-DEE m/fers in prison is "racist."

"Racist," is the progressive Alinskyite kiss of death.

Once a Policeman is tagged as "racist," his career
and his life are essentially over.

"...More willingness among witnesses to speak..."

Beating The Police into a corner to prop up a
flawed, false and deliberately hotted-up narrative
has done nothing but embolden the hyper-violent,
death-loving, law abiding society hating, criminal
swing-dicks/hang-tits who are busily "redistributing
the pain" throughout all of Chicago.

"The CPD's abysmal arrest rate..."

Well... The Police have compelling rules
to abide by and an entire alphabet soup
of review and oversight now firmly in place.

Dude Inc.?
Not so much... Therein lies the causative
for that so called "abysmal arrest rate."

"Make da Poleece stop botherin', harassin', chasin',
arrestin' an' jennacidin' our yung blak menz!"

Or is is the Fibune Editorial Board's pique
is triggered by the Policeman's "selfishness"
in being hands-off and STRICTLY BY THE ACTUAL
READING AND APPLICATION of State and Federal
laws to keep themselves employed, un-sued,
un-indicted, un-imprisoned, un-scandalized,
un-doxed and able to keep their homes, assets
and families intact and un-fucked with?

"WAHHH! Aren't you guys SUPPOSED to willingly
sacrifice those things for US?"

Well... Society USED to give The Policeman
nodding assent to take care of Society's
business.

The Police have VERY CORRECTLY
adapted and are having Law Enforcement Church
under the proverbial bushel basket.

What trust do you want to build? Trust the Chicago Police won't arrest any black for "ANY" crime? Trust police officers will be killed in the line of duty & no people or folks will be arrested! Trust those on the south & west side can be assured police won't run any operation aimed at stopping out & out theft on the streets of a zoo they refer to as comunitee! AND LASTLY, NO ONE (MSM!!!) says anything about the "CRIMINALLY NEGLIGENT" way that the States Attorney follows up (or doesn't actually) serious repetitive VIOLENT CRIME perpetrated by the people & folks who feel they are overly prosecuted for VIOLENT CRIMES they actually commit. ADDING insult to open wounds, the cases that do get prosecuted, they proceed to a bond court that is "so lenient" no people or folks go to jail!!! Then the "RETARDS" at the two P. O. S. papers scribble incoherent articles berating the police and not one mention of these obvious factors perpetuating murder & mayhem!!! FUCK THE DEMOC"RATS", MSM & ALL LIBERALS!!!

stupid to the point of career and financial
suicide isn't one of them.

That's just the hard and pointy business

Your thread exemplifies the reason I do not subscribe to either the Suntimes or the Tribune. Both papers have long been biased and slanted to a point where they are not worth reading.

As to "the solution" for Chicago violence. STOP coddling criminals. Start questioning AND removing judges who won't impose stiff fines and penalties.

Carjacking should be a capital offense. Horse thieves were hung in the 1800s, car thieves should suffer the same fate. This punishment would eradicate this crime very quickly.

And while we're at it, end this Sanctuary City nonsense. Before money is spent on illegals, it should be spent on veterans.

There is not one news outlet in Chicago that will print the truth about the gun violence. The fact that it is the minority communities that are killing themselves somehow escapes them. It's the cops fault for not stopping these shooters but when they do it's the cops fault. No win for the Police even when they arrest a shooter it's the cops fault if the states attorney or so called judge set them free. Not a cop and the city does not have the money it would take for me to try and do your job. Good luck to the officers that try but until the communities take responsibility for there own actions it's a loosing battle you are fighting. Stay safe.

Tribune writers must think police work is like the tv shows: every job pretty much involves a bad guy with a gun. In truth, there are thousands of interactions daily that go perfectly fine and most of those interactions are actually caused by the community calling for the police to come to them. Is there distrust of the police? Sure. But the majority of the people in the community trust the police more then their own community members. But the Tribune will never actually go into neighborhoods, go into a CAPS meeting where people praise the police. That would take effort. Hell, Eric Zorn helped frame a member of the community for murder to let an actual murderer back on the street. You think the community thought that was a positive step?

Yet, they are still being used as a crutch by some for the black community's failures. Add "BURGE!" to this list of excuses for low expectations. Short of reparations, which some are still clamoring for, more has been done to redress these past grievances than all other social programs combined. ANYONE in this country who works hard and lives right has a better chance of succeeding and living well than any other place in the world. FACT. Stop making excuses.

This is from a retired police officer:
"No one ever said a homicide interrogation was supposed to be a day full of sunshine and roses. It's a day of asking questions, hard questions based upon probable cause, witness statements, evidence. Detectives talk to the suspects to give them a chance to account for why they may have been named or identified as possible offenders. They take down what suspects say and then they go out and investigate some more to gather more evidence not only as to their guilt, but as to their possible innocence -- THE TRUTH IS THE GOAL. Bullshit stories are proven wrong and those who provide them are confronted. Eventually, the lies don't stand, suspects weigh their options and try to mitigate their involvement, "I didn't shoot anyone, I was just there, the gun just went off, I just wanted to scare him."
The sessions are held in private rooms, not poolside at the Hyatt-Regency as much a to protect those from being seen talking to the police as to provide an atmosphere of focus. The detectives share the stink and the heat and the sweat. They work hard and they know they are recorded and that every single thing they say and do is part of a video that will be scrutinized possibly all the way to the Supreme Court.
Why do they do it? Why don't they just give the suspect his rights and tell him/her to shut up? They don't get anything more if a suspect confesses. The bosses know that these cases are hard and the States Attorney keeps setting the bar higher and higher to get charges approved. Why not just take the easy way out? They don't get promoted or extra money if they solve a homicide. All they get is jeopardy that threatens their careers, their reputations and their very freedom. So why do they do it?

They do it because that is their oath, their job, their calling. Because they choose to speak for Hadiya who no longer has a voice. They do it to try to give a family who has no voice in a criminal justice system that favors the defendant a measure of justice. That's what good detectives do Dahleen, they do the "ugly" work of gathering evidence to include witness statements in these ugly homicides. That's what they've been doing for years, within the framework of the law, sitting with suspects in stinking rooms, running all over the city to find the truth in spite of the jeopardy they are placed into. All this without laying a hand on anyone. Think about it. See, confessions could be gotten without touching anyone, without mental "torture", all within the law. Maybe that's what they've done all these years and maybe they should be given the respect and gratitude they deserve, instead of being fall guys for the money machine."

ok let just say that the "Community Disconnect". is what is causing the crime and the lack of information from the community that is vital to solving the crime.

Let just say that but Commander Burge had like a 90% clearance rate of crime in his area. How was bad Commander Burge able to connect with the community? Was he a community whisper?

Also let says that evil Commander Burge was a racist. Why did he care about solving black on black crime? A true racist would just stand on the sidelines watching the mayhem.

Like it or not Commander Burge saved more black lives that any community activist certainly more than BLM, Father Flakey and Jesse Jackson combined.

Why doesn't this great community filled with upstanding citizens who yearn for justice but who refuse to cooperate with the bad police go directly to the wonderful State Attorney Kim Fox?

Surely the community aching for justice but stymied by the evil police could go directly to her.

If you are not aware of Maggio news ( dba Bloody Chicago) on You Tube, I would suggest that you invest 10 minutes to peruse his reports. He deserves a shout out. He does not deliver the standard boilerplate pablum found in the MSM, he looks much deeper and does not crap on the CPD. In fact he is damn supportive. Anyway, keep up the good work and God Bless.

Un-fucking-believable. The Tribune starts off the editorial on the right note but then .... doesn't mention the screwed-up family situation or the fuckin' gangs again, not one single time.

Nor do they mention the 'code of silence' that's rule number one in 'Da hood'. They infer to in in passing with a blurb about 'gang revenge' but that's it. But they NO problem stating that the lack of cooperation 'in the community' is the fault of the Police.

Now my reading comprehension might be a little f--ked up this morning as I'm still excited by Da Bears convincing Win over the KC Chiefs (/s), but I'll be damned if I saw any mention at all about The JUDGES!, and the revolving door they have on their courtrooms.

Nor did I see any mention about Cook County's crack States Atty, Lil Kimmy Foxx, who acts as filing Felony and/or Murder Charges against suspects is an imposition on her, like she's got better things to do with her time.

So yeah Tribune Editorial Board just blame the police.

They're easy targets who can't fight back with a response unlike the hell you'd face if you blamed Rahm, the Democratic Party's decades of criminal-coddling, the morally bankrupt members of the community, or the soulless jagoffs that are creating the carnage.

Have a nice day.

Yes, the homicide clearance rate in Chicago is about 1/3 the national average. But, I would wonder what it would be if you eliminated the many variables that some other cities do not contend with? Here, ever interviews are taped. Is that happening everywhere? The media can't wait to criticize some detective because he raised his voice or talked harshly to some suspect. Witnesses can't be held for any length of time in an effort to get them to cooperate. And, even holding a suspect for 24 hours is being slammed as being coercive. Finally add the poor leadership that politics and phony merit promotions add to the mix and the critical shortage of detectives that has plagued the department for decades. Yes, I think it is about time someone from the outside, a chief of detectives from a city that has a good clearance rate, come to this town and take over. Staples should go.

The print people are just copying what the fake priest is saying. The Rev's and the fake priest marching isn't working, so they change gears and blame the police for not being able to communicate with the community and its residence. What's changed, The Obama Syndrome, that's right, his administration emboldened the black criminals. Gangs, dope dealers and others now have power over the communities on the south and west sides of the City. To put it another way, seen talking to the police, you just might get shot. Getting labeled a snitch in those neighborhoods will get you killed and that's just a fact of life in the Hood. It's not a code of silence, it's called fear of retaliation, and in certain area's of Chicago, if you are seen cooperating with the police, it could be a death sentence to you and your family. It's true, the gap between the black community and the police have widened, but not for the reason being totted by the Rev's, Politicians, and the media. Because of the hands-off policies generated by the aforementioned, the communities that need policing the most, are getting much less. Less policing has increased violence and the threat of violence within these communities. It ironic to see what the community and their leaders have demanded and got, taking proactive policing out of the equation. They've created lawlessness the likes Chicago has never seen, causing the Chicago Police to be restricted from doing their job, protecting the citizens of Chicago. It's not only my opinion, but the black community in Chicago is responsible for creating an ineffective Police Force from protecting all of us. Now Chicagoans are suffering, by following this ignorance and stupidity generated by a false narrative of a corrupt hypotheses.

Um... The reason members of the “community” won’t talk to police about murders is NOT because they don’t trust the police, it’s because they know the gangs will kill them for “snitching”.

I suppose you can argue that they don’t “trust” the police to protect them from gang retaliation, but that’s not something that can be corrected by making the police force more “diverse” or less likely to use force - if anything, handcuffing the police will make gang retaliation MORE likely.

Typical progressives - they can’t see the real problem because it conflicts with how they WANT reality to be.

I am calling on Alderman Sue Sadlowski-Garza to resign now or retire when her term ends as Alderman. Alderman Sadlowski-Garza ethics has been compromised and can no longer be trusted as Alderman. Alderman Sue Sadlowski-Garza election committee “Friends of Susan Sadlowski Garza” who is ran by Ryan Garza as chairman, has accepted $17,000.00 dollars from Chicago businesses operated and owned by associates of the Chicago Mafia one of which has been implicated in participating in fire bombings in federal court by Chicago Mob Boss Nicholas Calabrese.

Evidence: According to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System Annual Report of Holding Companies- FR Y-S files on December 31, 2016, Bancorp Financial Holding Company, Inc 1515 W 22nd Street, Suit 100, Oak Brook IL, 60523
Bancorp Principle Officers:

1.) Director: Fred Barbara-Bancorp Holding Company

2.) Director: William Pacella-Bancorp Holding Company

3.) President: William Pacella- Pacella Trucking Company

4.) Manager: William Pacella- Sunset Bay Marina, LLC

Bancorp Director, Fred Barbara’s Grandfather, Bruno Roti Sr. was identified as a Chicago Mafia Boss by federal authorities. Bancorp’s Director Fred Barbara himself was identified in federal court by Chicago Mafia Boss Nicholas Calabrese as participating in fire bombings in the 1980’s. William Pacella who is Fred Barbara’s business partner and was partners with Nick “the stick” Lococo within the Chicago Hired Truck racket. Nick Lococo was a Teamster general foreman of motor truck drivers in the Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT) Lococo was identified by the federal government in a criminal case in 1996 as an associate of the 26th Street/Chinatown crew of the Chicago Outfit. This crew was involved in "hijacking, loan-sharking, gambling and many killings which took place in the Chicago area. The conclusion that Lococo was involved with this crew was based in part upon wiretaps of a bookmaking establishment that made repeated telephone calls to a small group of individuals including Lococo.

Not overworked by any measure. Just not very effective. So much for the value of merit promotions. They need a tough leader to hold their feet to the fire, results or you are back in patrol or undesirable shifts or areas less critical then homicides. Accountability is totally lacking from top down. Other forces deal with the same problems and seem to overcome the problems and have at least twice the results the CPD has cranked out the last several years.

REAL police carried shot guns and billy clubs.

Back in the day, if 62 people were shot in one weekend, one by one, every known, likely suspect or person in-the-know would have police officers so far up their ass, they’d be arrested and taken off the street at the slightest infraction.

Police cars would sit at the bangers Money market corners until the dime was dropped on the shooter/s or the bangers brought the shooters to the police themselves.

It is a funny thing what sucking the oxygen out of the money making in illicit trade did.

The progs and lawyers are the biggest conduit to the number of shootings in Chicago.

They have destroyed the policing that was effective.

Until it is brought back and the communities of color admit to their problem and not drop some dimes, nothing is going to change.

There is no black community. Those who choose to use the pigmentation of their skin as the prime quality which they value most, cannot ever have community.

The choice, generations past, of disregarding the foundation of MLK Jr.'s elegantly stated, - Not by color of skin but by content/quality of character - (said foundation being applyng THIS to yourself FIRST and ALWAYS, before seeking the same from any other), set the path upon which many have chosen to be led to slaughter upon.

The slavery democrats morphed into the jim crow democrats morphed into the poverty pimp democrats and, now, morphed into the feckless sjw democrats, ALL are of the same intent: weilding controlling power OVER others; not at all compatible with each individual's imbued freedom to choose to not be controlled by others.

The nature of Creation imposes plenty of controls compelling.

This is from a retired police officer:
"No one ever said a homicide interrogation was supposed to be a day full of sunshine and roses. It's a day of asking questions, hard questions based upon probable cause, witness statements, evidence. Detectives talk to the suspects to give them a chance to account for why they may have been named or identified as possible offenders. They take down what suspects say and then they go out and investigate some more to gather more evidence not only as to their guilt, but as to their possible innocence -- THE TRUTH IS THE GOAL. Bullshit stories are proven wrong and those who provide them are confronted. Eventually, the lies don't stand, suspects weigh their options and try to mitigate their involvement, "I didn't shoot anyone, I was just there, the gun just went off, I just wanted to scare him."
The sessions are held in private rooms, not poolside at the Hyatt-Regency as much a to protect those from being seen talking to the police as to provide an atmosphere of focus. The detectives share the stink and the heat and the sweat. They work hard and they know they are recorded and that every single thing they say and do is part of a video that will be scrutinized possibly all the way to the Supreme Court.
Why do they do it? Why don't they just give the suspect his rights and tell him/her to shut up? They don't get anything more if a suspect confesses. The bosses know that these cases are hard and the States Attorney keeps setting the bar higher and higher to get charges approved. Why not just take the easy way out? They don't get promoted or extra money if they solve a homicide. All they get is jeopardy that threatens their careers, their reputations and their very freedom. So why do they do it?

They do it because that is their oath, their job, their calling. Because they choose to speak for Hadiya who no longer has a voice. They do it to try to give a family who has no voice in a criminal justice system that favors the defendant a measure of justice. That's what good detectives do Dahleen, they do the "ugly" work of gathering evidence to include witness statements in these ugly homicides. That's what they've been doing for years, within the framework of the law, sitting with suspects in stinking rooms, running all over the city to find the truth in spite of the jeopardy they are placed into. All this without laying a hand on anyone. Think about it. See, confessions could be gotten without touching anyone, without mental "torture", all within the law. Maybe that's what they've done all these years and maybe they should be given the respect and gratitude they deserve, instead of being fall guys for the money machine."

The seeds of violence are being embedded in those communities as we boast...

Chicago is a long way from becoming a death trap. Some people actually like it here and enjoy their neighbors and neighborhood. Little league, school sports for the kids, block parties not to mention the theater, entertainment and sports venues. I can leave anytime I want but decided to stay with about 2 million others. Young people from the suburbs are moving in all the time and enjoying the neighborhoods
Calm down you sound paranoid, riots and we are targets
Maybe I should move to Florida and spend an afternoon relaxing at a gaming convention or move to Vegas and enjoy the weather and a night out at a concert

The irony about this is the press loves to attack police. It used to bother me when I cared to make a difference. Back to the irony though....the irony being that the lawless system they’re helping to shape will eventually and hopefully consume them. At some point all the real police will be out of the city, retired and saying “fuck you, pay me.” The remaining officers will hopefully be smart- put in minimal hours, work and risk nothing for anyone. Let this city, the rats (politicians, media and shitheads) consume each other and their sympathizers. Gotta love irony

The print people are just copying what the fake priest is saying. The Rev's and the fake priest marching isn't working, so they change gears and blame the police for not being able to communicate with the community and its residence. What's changed, The Obama Syndrome, that's right, his administration emboldened the black criminals. Gangs, dope dealers and others now have power over the communities on the south and west sides of the City. To put it another way, seen talking to the police, you just might get shot. Getting labeled a snitch in those neighborhoods will get you killed and that's just a fact of life in the Hood. It's not a code of silence, it's called fear of retaliation, and in certain area's of Chicago, if you are seen cooperating with the police, it could be a death sentence to you and your family. It's true, the gap between the black community and the police have widened, but not for the reason being totted by the Rev's, Politicians, and the media. Because of the hands-off policies generated by the aforementioned, the communities that need policing the most, are getting much less. Less policing has increased violence and the threat of violence within these communities. It ironic to see what the community and their leaders have demanded and got, taking proactive policing out of the equation. They've created lawlessness the likes Chicago has never seen, causing the Chicago Police to be restricted from doing their job, protecting the citizens of Chicago. It's not only my opinion, but the black community in Chicago is responsible for creating an ineffective Police Force from protecting all of us. Now Chicagoans are suffering, by following this ignorance and stupidity generated by a false narrative of a corrupt hypotheses.

I get a big charge out of the fact that while the papers print what they want you to know and to think, you tell your readers what is happening and challenge your readers to think about what is going on. And the mainstream media's views are not to be challenged or debated. You cannot point out that the emperor has no clothes, or the narrative they set out is specious. Comments are not allowed. Here, ideas are exchanged and debated, and most postings have scores of comments, some expanding on your observations.

What do you have against the carnival? I just got promoted to the "Guess Your Weight" booth and I am the under-study Tilt-A-Whirl operator. And, the bearded lady kind of likes me. If I squint, she does not look half-bad. Plus, I get to travel. Life is good. It beats working a beat car on the midnights. Now, let me guess. You're a healthy one. I'd say you go about 225?

Maybe they do all the retired detective says they just don't do it very well. Do the math on homicide detectives at best they are working two new cases each, given the 350+ killed. Not overworked by any measure. Just not very effective. So much for the value of merit promotions. They need a tough leader to hold their feet to the fire, results or you are back in patrol or undesirable shifts or areas less critical then homicides. Accountability is totally lacking from top down. Other forces deal with the same problems and seem to overcome the problems and have at least twice the results the CPD has cranked out the last several years. Like the sign on the Bosch show says get off your ads and knock on some doors, the answers are on the street not your comfortable computer cubicle.

At least you learned how to be a detective from premium cable and not a free network. Your training is so much better than the idiots that watch CSI reruns.

True, the last of Burges’ people retired when ERI came about. Oops did I say that? Maybe we should hire them back to clear up some of these homicides. #silliness

Not true. ERI came about in 2005, the last of the alleged “Burge guys” retired in May of 2017, and they were getting confessions on video right up to the week they left.

The last of the Burge boy left Homicides and went G/A when ERI came about. Look around. If they were getting confessions in 2017, then why is the clearance rate so low? Why are there so many overturned sentencings? Why are detectives still fighting lawsuit during their retirement?

Collective guilt is a favorite tactic of the left. It simple to do, and lazy journalism.

Also, after endlessly bashing the Park Forest copper who tazed the old man, Kass apparently has now set his sights on coppers that tazed an old goofy broad.

John Wrana was the name of the 95 year old WW2 veteran and resident of an assisted living facility in Forest Park who died as a result of being shot 4 times with bean bag rounds fired from a 12 ga. shotgun. Get your facts straight, and stop bending over backwards trying to justify poor/improper use of force tactics by police officers.

You are right. The sports venues are empty along with all the hotels, bars and higher end restaurants. Water show and neighborhood festivals closing because lack of attendance. Cubs and Bears are giving away tickets because everyone is afraid to go
Yep you’re right, Chicago is in a death soiral

Your conflations are showing.

Cover up, buttercup, it's embarassing to those who can see.

As for those "social networks", aka, the barnyard of clucking hens, you are welcome to be one. Freedom, ya know, that elusive quality so touted by many, yet respected by few.

No, no freedom from the truly thoroughly enforced Laws of Nature, gravity and such, but freedom to choose within the confines of said natural laws thus imposed upon all flesh.

If your thought here was to proclaim that each individual needs the "social network" to define the beneficial parameters of human choosings, well, you are the millenial minded you used as a pejorative ending tag line.

I used to enjoy reading Doperah's columns. Then she took a junket to the East coast and became indoctrinated in agitation and division as a Nieman Foundation for Journalism fellow. She got divorced and came back spewing vile columns like never before. I stopped reading her low quality writing the is a disgrace to journalism shortly after her return.

Hey goof ball, check your facts. You said ...Anybody remember Timonthy Oconnor??? An asshat SUPE who was shitcanned for having a corrupt department (summerdale scandal) OH and the training academy is named for him. He was forgotten just like special ED will be and dana starks is already. Brzeczek or leroy Martin old news and forgotten.

You are no better than Mary Mitchell with the fake news... Did you even go to the Timothy J. O'Connor Police Training Academy? I found this on the ODMP web site about Timothy J O'Connor, WHO the academy was named after.

Officer Timothy O'Connor was shot and killed during an armed robbery.

Officer O'Connor was assigned to guard a garage for delivery trucks of a major department sore. He observed six armed men enter the garage. After seeing Officer O'Connor, the men began firing their guns. Officer O'Connor incurred a serious wound in the attack and died as a result of his injury.

On March 1, 1922, the six suspects were apprehended in Chicago. They were also implicated in three other Chicago armed robberies, one a bank robbery, in which the president of the Maywood State Bank and another man were shot and killed.

The Chicago Police Training Academy is named for Officer O'Connor.

"Buttercups" are so smug and smart, therefore "freedom"
should only be reserved for them. Not the funny
thinking, intellectually disinterested (to them)
churls they so revile.

Don't exactly know why but a mental image of "buttercup"
getting prodded at bayonet point through the gates of the
final fort to new found freedom to engage a social network of
a whole other sort...

Away from the comfort and convenience
of hiding behind the rest of everybody else.

>Gates closing with a resounding clang<

"This isn't what I meant!"
>Horde closing in...
High-Pitched screams of terror<

Of course it isn't.

Thus be it ever.

Officer O'conner is an unsung hero, sorry to tell you , but the academy is named after timothy J. O'conner the past police superintendant. This boss died in the 60's.

The Chicago Tribune is not only hypocritical, it is an illegitimate fake news mouthpiece for their stockholders, management , some politicians and big money honchos.
They have some of the worse writers and reporters sitting behind a keyboard in the history of yellow journalism.
Jeremy Gorner. Steve Schmaedeke. Eric Zorn. Dahleen Glanton.
Who hired these yellow journalists? They wouldn't make good copyboys let alone reporters.
I canceled my Tribune subscription in 2014. Best money I ever saved.
I'm hearing they are bleeding money, on the verge of another bankruptcy, and Tronc is trying to jettison them as quickly as possible.
A fitting demise for one of the worst news services in history.

And I have videos of Chicago Tribune delivery drivers disobeying traffic control signs, running red lights, driving one way down the wrong way on streets, and other reckless, self entitled behavior. I will be giving them to the police and the first plaintiff's lawyer whose client gets in an accident with one of these Tribune delivery drivers and sues them.
