Nice Loop Rahm
- Police are looking for the gunman who shot a man during a bustling Saturday afternoon in the city’s Loop.
It happened shortly after 2 p.m. on Wabash Avenue near Monroe Street, police said.
The victim, a 21-year-old man, was walking north on a sidewalk when suddenly another man pointed a gun at him and shot him in the arm, police on the scene said.
The victim was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where he was expected to survive.
And here's a shocker:
- The shooting suspect stands about 6-foot-2, is black and was wearing a black jacket and black pants, police said. He was carrying a black book bag with red lettering, they said.
The witness comments published by the Tribune are sadly amusing.

Did the shooter walk like a duck?
Crime and violence is no stranger to the South Loop and River North. No neighborhood is safe.
Rahm and Special Ed crime strategy is a total failure.
Retire and move.
Your folks in broad daylight
Attempted murder is wherever it happens. It can be anywhere, or anytime.
What were some of the comments? Amuse us, please.
As a child in the 1950s this was drilled into our heads for nuclear explosions but can be applied here if you are in the Loop or the Gold Coast nowadays, just: D U C K A N D C O V E R.
Crime is down? Consent decree in effect. Shot spotters in place. Computers predicting next violent crime. Lots of money and resources spent with negative results. It's times to kick ass and take names instead of kissing ass looking for votes. Isn't it time to look at a new approach to fight the cancer which is destroying Chicago? Ask the victims of violent crime if they think crime is down.
Nothing to see here folks. It’s all part of the Chicago experience; just like the Chicago Cubs, deep dish pizza and the blues brothers. It’s the Chicago way! But hey we have more officers out of the academy to stop all this right? Pathetic.
The shooter let off 11 rounds in the middle of the day in the middle of the business district and managed to still only hit one person. He either went to the Ray Charles school of shooting or Rahm has fucked with businesses so much during his tenure that no one is left downtown.
The war is lost. All that is left is the mopping up operation we see every day
across the city. "Duck and cover" indeed. Fetal citizens. Not a cop,
Welcome to Chicago, or Chi-Raq !!!!!!
rahm doesn't care anymore now than he did before his announcement of not running for mayor.
the mayors office is on auto pilot, all the exempts are scrambling for a soft place to land.
They came down from their hotel room to see what was going on...
These shootings have been sponsored in part by Kimmy Foxxxxxx and friends.
If you can afford to live with private security and be driven and body guarded at all times, Chicago is great. In other words you need to buy insulation from the reality of pervasive crime. If your an ordinary mortal, the handwriting is on the proverbial wall. Leave.
Watching the coverage of the synagogue shooting where 11 people were killed many others were shot including three of our brothers in blue they are saying that this man could get the death penalty or maximum of 48 years in prison.Thinking about this 48 years in prison if he does not get the death penalty but our own Jason van Dyke could get over 100 years in prison if every charge is it to the maximum for killing an armed Felon on how things work. God bless Jason God bless this family God bless members of police departments everywhere praying that the three officers that were shot get well quickly rapidly and also especially close to my heart God bless the Chicago Police Department who is officers go out on a daily basis to do their best to try to keep the Mayhem and anarchy and people that are bent on destroying this once great city in line the best they can.
The comments by “witnesses” reads just like posting on Facebook, great job Ms. NEWS reporter.

Welcome to Chicago-Try the pizza, stay for the lead.
Welcome to Chicago, or better yet Chi-Raq!!!!!
..a man was seen...?
Just like an alcoholic or drug addict, Chitcago has to fall to the bottom before it can rehabilitate itself.
Keep electing Democrats.
Keep voting for all the judges.
The faster we hit bottom, the sooner we will rebound.
Just ask Detroit!
Fuck you Rahm!
Vote Joyce for law and order.
And before any of you nitwits who claims he’s connected to Daley at the hip, realize that he is RUNNING AGAINST a fucking DALEY!
And wise up, VALLAS was brought in by Daley and is being helped by Skinny Sheahan.
Even Lori Lightfoot is connected to Daley.
You people are clueless. Joyce is the anti-machine candidate here!

My thought exactly, was he wearing something over his face? Was the victim a M/2?
I hope Amazon execs read the headlines from Chicago everyday. ♠️
A few hours later 2 more shot at Franklin/Roosevelt area and another overnight around 28th & State I believe it was.
They are quickly getting the downtown they wanted.
LAME DUCKS both of them....This is why you won't see the mayor crying and the superintendent having "more questions then answers" on TV....In the meantime,overheard WHEEEEZZZZEEEE'S son is in "driving school" trying to get his "suspension" lifted,she was overheard trying to get the answers for him,she did ask Gene Williams(retired) but he said it was a "no go",then she took 4 hours on the end,because she came in late....
Last week, they showed the great Police expert from NY and LA, had a meeting with short bus Ed. Everything should be better now. Did Short Bus actually take notes? It doesn’t seem like it. I wonder if the Police guru left laughing? ;)
12:13:00 are you implying it was Charlie Chaplin?
- Is this downtown trip really necessary, you know, for the project?
- “Oh no, you got to go downtown George. It’s ALL downtown. Like the song says.”
“Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city. Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty (...where the neon sign are pretty).
You can always go...downtown.
Think the Bosgraafs will be coming back to Rahm’s and Prickwrinkle’s Sanctuary City?
According to the Trib, comments by witness Shanese Bradley was the only one familiar with the drill.
How’s Lower Wacker these days?
Still Welcoming?
Still Who We Are™️?
Tough Cookie Stop and Frisk - Not my Town.
it's not the rogers park male black:
its a disgruntle aggravated panhandler....
the pedesterian walking along placed his fingers at the top of this aggravated panhandler's cup ...the pedesterian withdrew his hand from on top of this cup...
when the aggravated panhandler stated hey what did you give me, pedesterian stated "HOPE", at which time the aggravated panhandler felt disrespected and turned into a rage removing his concealed handgun and fired it at this pedesterian......get your concealed carry permit! NOW!
Does anyone have the numbers on how many Officers have retired in 2018?
Chicago doesn't have a gun problem. Chicago has a behavioral problem.
A HUGE thank-you to the Pittsburgh Police Department. you have saved many lives. You ran/ walked to the sound of gunfire, to save others,..to protect and serve....... I know, many people are morning right now,...but please ,....do not forget our heroes. Pray for the wounded officers, and pay tribute to your police department....

Wasting money on stupid things that line the pockets of their friends!! The Democratic Socialist way.

OK your going to your fundraiser alone, the democrats and the morons,liberals etc are happy with the murders and maiming and will continue to follow the scum democrats and re-elect them! But this "strategy" with the cameras are working correctly? Sorry over here liberal media reports on this blustery weekend so far we have:
4 dead, 31 wounded in Halloween weekend shootings:
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-met-chicago-violence-shootings-20181027-story.html
Didn't they hear the message from "clout boy"Ryan about doing crime in the loop and "you will be caught" line? Hey Ryan why not use your democratic handlers tagline "shame,shame,on them," maybe that will work right there clueless?
I blame the Cook County Courts. Criminals now know the risk of incarceration is extremely low.
Does anyone think RE gives a care about anything in Chicago anymore? He didn’t before, so why would he as he’s running out the door. He has wrote the City off. Nothing left for him to do but add to his net worth on the way out. It’s the politicians way in Illinois. .
I read what Attorney General Sessions said about the Consent Decree...that it should not be implemented and that it will further weaken the police powers. He also said the ACLU decree from a couple of years ago has weakened policing drastically, and has made for more violence in our city and weakened the police force and has made our city unsafe. My question is this...where is your police union and why dont they stand behind the men and women in blue?
you can take it to the bank that shooter was a convicted felon on probation or parole , also a democrat
31 shot and 4 additional dead so far this weekend. Someone here already said something about kissing asses for votes, and as sarcastic as that sounds, it is the absolute truth. I understand the fetal thing, but my family and friends are here. Good people live here and are being subject to the violence and lawlessness of the criminal element. They have been emboldened by the politicians and the current hands off style of policing. There has to be a turning point before our families and our friends are killed or maimed, or some of the innocent people just trying to live a normal life and be a good citizen fall victim to this predator element walking among us. Something has to change. In addition to ridding the offices of corrupt and incorrigible politicians, we need a Department where the upper management aren't in line with political antics and are capable of pushing back the politicians and pulling in good, sound and functional policing tactics. It's all this City has left.

interesting
you cannot predict violence
All of the citizens more concerned with uploading cell-phone video of police to their social media than concerned that these savages are infringing on their safe way of life.
Chicago, come for the pizza, stay because you were murdered.
One for eleven, he is perfect CPD material.
Please stop the JVD situation to everything. He was found guilty just live with it. If retried he will be found guilty just no way in Hell to justify the 16 shots many while victim on ground. That’s right victim, became victim as soon as he hit ground. That means JVD was perp on camer
His own words convicted him. Feel sorry for family but his actions caused their pain.

Then why is the CPD wasting manpower, equipment and money on trying to predict when, where and who will commit a crime.
On Fox News last night the black reporter described everything about offender but did not mention offenders race.
I’m so tired of this bullshit.
If apprehended Kimmie will not approve felony charges.
She’s got to be one of the worst, most racist, most incompetent states attorney’s in the entire country.

Now go vote blue.

I do not know what to tell you... [staying fetal] for the police is a statement of policy implementation directed by the politicians - it might be indirect - but it exists. No car chases, but you have chase policy, de-escalation, mitigating force, "justice involved individuals," point gun report, ISRs (stop and frisk that Gerry brought with him from New York by moving the 4th Amendment goal post), ect. This stuff always gets worse around election time. The Department coming up with both subjective and objective complex policies to be executed like computer source code in a few seconds, with conflicting and confusing information. An Attorney friend of mine once said, "Avoid the cloud of impropriety not just impropriety. You will live a better life." Most officer are avoiding the cloud of impropriety, they just do not know it yet or what to call it. Where are the real heroes in bring this on, the Department cut back almost all training, except recruit training, starting with Daley in about 2002. Implement the policy the politicians [and indirectly the people] want. Also, if the Department's goal was to regain the community trust, then why not do away with the quote based "CompStat" numbers game? Why really?
So when do the bozos running Austin and Englewood get replaced. Both districts have been at top of homicide and shootings list the last 3 hears. Obvious that their leadership is a total failure. Wake up Fat Head and make some changes. Whole your at it replace the worthless Homicide leadership, even Baltimore has a 45% clearance rate. Same gang and community problems but better results. Wake up fools.
To the turning point poster did you vote Democratic? If so your getting the results you voted for. If not you might give serious consideration to leaving. It will not get any better in city or state after next election no matter who wins. The liberals have taken over and have a socialist agenda. Get out while you still have decent property values. Once the next round of fees and tax increases take place after the next election the taxpayer exodus will increase. The city is $27 BILLION behind in just pension obligations plus BILLIONS behind in everyday transactions. Illinois is $127 BILLIONS behind in pensions. Think your taxes will be going down, better think again. Prime example of Democratic management is CPS budget, 10,000 fewer students but budget going up. Schools closing , no way, teacher layoffs no way no how. The Chicago Way in action, people getting more for doing less. By the way did you get a 5% raise this year? The city employees did.
Walk like a duck.
Sounds like the Arson offender by DePaul.
The FOP is bought and paid for with the promise of good jobs and placements when their terms are over. All that have to do is Mayors bidding and endorse all the Machine candidates. The Chicago Way in action.
Katie Galiot of the Tribune avoids the Mike Nolan award because she actually mentioned the shooter was M/1.
Her interview with a Ms. Shanese Bradley was almost dumb enough to earn the coveted Nolan award, for allowing an almost-certainly biased witness (F/1) to suggest the shooter was not intending murder.
Katie, why quote someone who is trying to put a rosy tint on the crime? An innocent person is shot and you take the time to quote a knucklehead? Where do your sympathies lie?
Rumor has it, CPD lost another soul, R.I.P. my friend.
Welcome to my nightmare !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I got a robo call from the Democratic Party saying don’t vote for Judge Coghlan. The reason that they don’t like Judge Coghlan anymore is that he stood up to the Iron Maiden Prickwinkie and the Democratic coat holder Tim “the puppet” Evans and Coghlan still gives out high bonds to the criminal “community”.
Vote yes for retention of Judge Coghlan. He has the balls to stand up to the criminal democrates.
And the sheep bleet softly as they are led to the slaughter. Keep voting people like Rahm and prickwrinkle into office, where has it gotten you? Hightest taxes, most violent crime, a city that is all about race. By the time the liberals wake up it will be too late. Time to abandon this state, it is lost.
To those trying out for SWAT. Welcome to midnights, 3 watches without the protections. They can and will mess with your hours at will because it is a 4th watch unit. Instead of implementing a call out system like every other swat team in the country, the city wants to continue with their "hope for the best and prepare for nothing" approach. The attempt to fix the issues is being fought by none other than the blonde, the coordinator. Can't get another merit bump without being a complete company guy. And Tom, how does your number 2, no pun intended, remain operational without ever training? And IAD, check training records now, and then cross reference them for #2 in a few months to see how drastically the past has changed. Swat is a giant joke right now because the leadership has failed it on every level. A entity like swat cannot be led by someone who's only priority is another promotion. So those trying out out you have been warned, and the whole take home car thing will be very short lived. 3 watches negates the need for take home cars. And who needs a 2003 crown Vic anyway.
I know how to get a handle on all the violence. Have ocd invent another useless unit full of clout babies like sgt. jh and his team of former desk dollies show up to arrest people after another unit has done all the hard investigative work. Wow. You guys are a glorified tact team you know that, right? seriously, run all the IAs to find out who's wanted or get the dicks to tell you who's wanted? Watch the next merit list some of these goofs will be on it. Losers.
Give credit to sly fox 🦊 she refuses to approve felony upwards ,auto theft ,car jacking,felony shoplifting
Look at sol for drug charges , drug schools , probation
It’s a joke
When is the “community” going to their part ?
Just axin

I wouldn’t necessarily say the guy running 015 is a bozo. He is a micromanaging machine that constantly pushes numbers though. That being said, you could put general Patton in charge in Austin and under the current set of “rules of engagement” even he couldn’t stop the carnage. Maybe the days where u could stop dude walking on the street and go through him could make a little change, but the community doesn’t want that, so what can u do. U have to play by the rules and you can’t just stop and frisk or stop a car load of gang bangers and go through them anymore. This is the result. People shot everyday. You would think the community would choose the old way to save some of their youth, but they don’t seem to care. It’s amazing.
Just sit back and continue to do nothing...when the "community" is ready for change and willing to work with us then they know where to find us.
.....By the time the liberals wake up it will be too late. Time to abandon this state, it is lost.

So, the rats are running wild, the ship is drifting and heading for the rocky shore, and your solution is to abandon to seek calmer waters.
Trials and Tribulations won't out run you. You'll keep one step ahead. Speedy Gonzales, that's you.
Until that day. Wherever you may be.
Vaya con Dios.
Just remember that the Demorats are waiting for the caravan to arrive so they can get more votes and the hardworking people of ShitCago will have more people on the welfare rolls to support, remember Pritzker has all the answers!
To 8:57,Joyce has my vote
"Just like an alcoholic or drug addict, Chitcago has to fall to the bottom before it can rehabilitate itself."
I've been saying this for the last few years. So far, Chicago has done nothing to reverse the fall or even slow it down. If anything it's still picking up speed, sorry to say. Some people are slowly becoming aware of the need to do something different. For many of them the answer has been to leave the city/state. That helps them but fixes nothing.
Two big contributors are the politics of crime (or is it the crime of politics?) and the politics of race. They spread like cancer and nothing has been done to halt or even slow their spread. Gangs are their malignant offspring. Desperate voters theoretically could use the vote to reverse the fall but that depends on having candidates who are not beholden to either the Machine or Plantation politics. Good luck with that.
(Do independent, ethical Democrats exist in Chicago? Or is that an oxymoron?)
Ethical leadership (or servant leadership) begins at the top and insists on ethics and excellence throughout an organization. Those qualities are sadly lacking in the current crop of candidates and have been for decades. Unfortunately, after such an extended absence it's doubtful voters even recognize them any more. For the average Joe or Jane Voter the shit's been getting deeper for so long they don't even remember what dry ground, sunshine and blue sky even look like.
Presently, Chicago looks like an old Keystone Kops movie (no reflection on real cops) as it races around slapping bandaids everywhere while fixing nothing.
The Abyss smiles, gapes widely and beckons.

Real nice!! Were you ever a pro-active officer or are you one of those guys that goes the other way, like the female officer wanted to do cuz she wanted to put the feed bag on. JVD's past history did not show any unreasonable actions. That POS was walking towards those officers. For all you know JVD was scared to death. He probably didn't even realize how many shots he fired. That situation should have been contained long before JVD arrived on the scene. JVD does not deserve to be in a cage with the scum of the earth. Go back to your hole to do your crossword puzzle now.
Rahm is a lame duck.
My apologies for insulting ducks who have a f*cked up webbed foot.
The suspect was a person of gender binary identification, unknown skin color, that walks like a duck. Case solved.
Well in 015 bozo E/C the 3rd is micromanaging all the watches, fixed post with face to face releafs. Making his barbie dolls in the office look out the windows and report parking issues in the police parking parking lot. He runs plates and makes people move vehicles in the police lots during backlogs. 015 is the new 007 and E/C gives two shits and focusses on CAPS functions like apple and video game events or austin has talent. Also, how can office personnel get activity for vri??? Looks like someone is putting activity in data warehouse in violaton of rule 14.
Then you have tac...gombie looking ass with the shaved head and no eyebrows. Tac guys fresh out of probation making illegal stops and dispersals. Poor rooks can't read the writing on the wall if it helped them move away from parents house. "I'm a worker" is no longer a thing to be proud of. You should really say "I'm a dumb ass numbers guy." I love when tac calls for CCCC for weed, and no one responds.Tac is soo thirsty now in days they execute bad search warrants on the wrong houses 50 percent of the time. Stay clear rooks from gombie, he can mumble his way to civil court himself. #stayinthecar. Don't do it. Read the writing on the wall rooks, stay clear of POMPOUS E/C and tatical gombie with his ninja minions. One more thing, fix the damn toilets

Yes and it surpasses the number hired while racoon eyes has been in office, next question...
I hope the princess who didn't want to respond to the JVD incident cause she was hungry is getting what she deserves now. But im betting probably not, typical entitled princess with a big mouth and nothing to back it up with except the big male officers who have to come to her aid.

Replaced? By whom? More phony political and racial hacks disguised as " merit promotions"? There is nothing that anyone can do to slow down crime in today's political environment. Terry Stops are verboten, they are considered racist and unconstitutional. Just stay in your car, answer your calls, write the paper and drive on. As far a homicide clear-ups, it is hard to fault the detectives with every roadblock put in their paths. It is hard to compare other cities clear-up rates with Chicagos unless you know more about the entire system.

Wrong answer. Read the question. How many retired in 2018? So far there have been less than 500 and the academy has been pushing out 100 a month. Do the math. Read the pension newsletter where your representatives writes in the columns the number of retirees and the total number of active sworn members along with the new hires before you think you know the answer
