(certain) Crime is Down!
- Robberies are down 19 percent this year, Chicago police officials announced Thursday.
The decrease is due, at least in part, to a heightened focus on specialized “robbery mission teams” — plainclothes officers assigned to conduct surveillance, connect the dots on robbery patterns and deploy to “hot spots” in order to be in the right place at the right time to make arrests.
“The reason that we are so focused on robberies is because if we look at our shootings … murders … the violence that happens across the city — 90 percent of that is people who are involved in street gangs or involved in that kind of a lifestyle,” First Deputy Superintendent Anthony Riccio said at a news conference.
“But when we look at robberies, those are innocent people, those are people walking down the street, going to work, coming home from work, leaving a restaurant, going about their daily lives … it really impacts the every day citizens in the city,” he said.
Thefts are through the roof though - thefts from persons specifically. We used to call those "Robberies" back in the unenlightened days before McCompStat showed Chicago "The Way" of statistical manipulation.

Hey Toni, what is a carjacking again? A property crime, you say? Tell that to the guy who was run over by his own car when he and his family were carjacked on the 200 E block of Eugenie Ct.
Kidney Beans and a bunch of tools came up with bogus numbers— let’s compare those numbers to before mccompost manipulative stats
How about the city-wide rise in Criminal Sexual Assaults, particularly in 018 and 019.
011 leads the city but after all, it is 011.
Also lay some blame on the CCSAO. Remember they would reject robbery and say charge them with battery and theft even when you had a good case and have to call for an override. Felony Review was created in late 70s early 80s to "weed out" cases that did not have the elements of a particular crime. Prior to Felony Review detectives approved charges. Felony Review protects the State's Attorney by giving them the best conviction rate they can for the next election. The problem is some victims do not get any justice because the bar can be set too high. They are doing the work of the judge and jury. A supervisor in the SAO, who was candid, said if an ASA in Felony Review sends a marginal case through, and the case is lost the ASA in Felony Review will carry that baggage during their career. So with them it's not just about justice it's about keeping the State's Attorney looking good and not stepping in shit.
You know what's not down? The availability of streaming content to watch during the tour! Stay fetal!
ram a hot car into a Michigan Avenue boutique?
theft from Building and a Crash repdort
Reported crime, you mean. Many don't even bother reporting it. Or just give up n waiting for the police.
Strong arm robbery becomes theft from person under the current leadership.
Gee, I'm a fashion plate.
Where do I sign up?
Guess everyone should see anything happening the community is a lifestyle choice and not worthy of investigation. I am fine with that let the rats keep killing each other.
But almost 3000 people shot and 600 killed soon city is really safe according to the Lying CPD brass. If a White shirts lips are moving the truth is not being told. Simple fact of CPD life.
There do you all feel better now. Crime is down across the board well not really but that is a discussion for another day.

Hey "Two guns" Tony stuff a sock in it already, it's pathetic to see and hear you play the political game of death, now go home and get your shine box...ohhh
Actually, no they’re not.
Had an Armed Robbery one time in 018. Great victim ( Attny ). I recovered the gum, arrested the poor Democrat. Called the Dicks from A/6 at the time. Detective shows up wearing his cowboy hat, huge cowboy belt buckle and cowboy boots, after he reviews the case, He says to me and victim..." No armed Robbery here. What you have here is THEFT with GUN...And then left.....true story......had no words for the victim other than....What a Jagoff.......
Actually, Felony Review was around in the late 60's, I know because I was also around. But, it was a bit less formal and usually was done over the telephone, for advice. But, over the years it has become a tool used by the prosecutor's office to reject any case that they think might be a loser in court or just not worth prosecuting.
Oh,brother!
Do these idiots really expect people to believe that crime is down?
Q:If carjackings alone are way up from prior years, which are basically "Robberies" in which a vehicle is the intended proceeds, how then could overall robberies be down?
A: Fake reporting statistics
I guess the terms "force or threat of force" have been eliminated from the Democrat dictionary.
It’s all about reclassification and killing crime.
Hocus locus....look over there not over here.
Just saw side-by-side photos of J.J. and Tom Dart
on CWB blog. My, my, Dart has a full head of hair
with that Michael Landon single dip curl on his forehead.
T.D. sure likes those cheap "for a cause" bracelets on
his right wrist. If there was a G.Q. for law enforcement
Dart would be on the cover. Sooooo avant garde.
Carry a gun at all times. Had an incident last week, I was in my garage and two M/1's drove down the alley and slowed down, taking a long look and drove north. This is right around Midway were a lot of robbery's are occurring. I opened the drivers door to give me concealment and went to the rear of the vehicle and waited, gun in hand. In a couple of minutes they came back. Their vehicle stopped, the passenger open his door as to exist, but was told by the driver to close the door. They drove off again in a south bound direction. I don't know what it is, a sixth sense or whatever you want to call it; they smelled something was about to go terribly wrong as I waited in the dark. That day I did not have an extra mag, everyday after the above incident I've been carrying that extra mag. Stay fetal and safe brothers and sisters, you are in my prayers every single day.
SCC did you see this CWB article where Rev Jackson, Suntimes, and Sheriff Dart were all complicit in lying about the circumstances of 19 inmates released on Christmas by Jackson. Dart refuses to release the names of the inmates.

It’s because detectives in districts are changing the classification per Det supervisors.. I had a residential burglary and ET would not come out for forcible entry.. WTF? Carjackings will become criminal trespass to vehicle. Strong arm robberies will be theft from persons.
my prediction for the 2019 year
with no clout a vet and living in Edison park a 9161 for ever

You gotta be kidding me?!? My daughter nannies on that block.
The really sad part is much of the general public actually believe these stats. Fortunately anyone with any common sense knows that the politicians rigged the stats to make themselves look good.
Robberies are down, Theft's are thru the roof,It's not a Homicide it's a Death Investigation.
Pam Z , Chuck G. Where are you ?
How many domestic battery victims are hid with a 1-F code ?
How many car jackets are charged with CTTV

You met McCloud?
Three package thefts on my block. None of us made a report. The general consensus is 'why bother'? I'm sure it's the same for theft from person, from car, etc.
So, crime isn't down. It's just not getting reported.
I'll be beleevin that when me shyte turns puurpal and tastes like rainbow sherbet.....
for those of you want to vote for garry mccarthy
Gary McCarthy was found “guilty” in March 2006 over an traffic altercation he had in 2005 with two New Jersey police officers. A traffic court judge ruled that Gary McCarthy had blocked vehicular traffic with his police-issued car while he and his wife confronted two plainclothes members of the Palisades Interstate Police at a gas station along the Palisades Interstate Parkway. The officers in question had just issued a summons to McCarthy’s 19-year-old daughter, who was driving another car and became verbally confrontational toward the two police officers whom in essence were enforcing the law. When Gary McCarthy had arrived on scene he was clearly irate and violently confrontational and had to be grabbed by the two police officers whom also confiscated McCarthy’s firearm and handcuffed him as well as restrained his wife when she attempted to grab the gun from the two police officers. The judge fined McCarthy $200 for blocking traffic
Naperville getting three new parks
One of the reasons Naperville ranks among the top cities in America to raise a family is because of all the park amenities available in town.
New this year is Rotary Harmony Park, a feature along the Naperville Riverwalk built by the Rotary Club of Naperville. The organization spent $65,000 to purchase four outdoor percussion instruments placed at the top of Rotary Hill near Aurora Avenue.
Scheduled for a spring 2019 opening is the Jaycees Smart Park. Funded by a $200,000 grant from the Jaycees and private donations, the park will include a landscaped outdoor space between the Naperville Municipal Center and the DuPage River where cellphones and laptops can be used with free Wi-Fi service, solar-powered USB ports and electrical outlets.
Also approved this year was $2.1 million to add 4,000 square feet to Naperville Park District’s Fort Hill Activity Center. The new studio space should be finished next year and will be used for exercise classes, including cycling and dance.
The park district has also earmarked about $11 million for the first phase of a 33-acre park on the city’s southwest side, with construction slated to begin next year. When completed, Southwest Community Park — at Wolf’s Crossing Road and Trumpet Avenue, west of Route 59 and south of 95th Street — will be the district’s eighth largest park facility, not including the two golf courses and three sports complexes, officials have said.
The new park could open in summer 2020 when first phase construction is done.
Among the amenities to be included when the park is completely finished are a challenge course modeled after those seen on TV’s “American Ninja Warrior,” playground areas for younger and older children, a fitness area for older adults or those with mobility issues, two large artificial turf soccer fields, two smaller natural grass soccer fields, two basketball courts, two tennis courts, a sand volleyball area and four pickleball courts.

He's right, usually they seem to sense there is a big bad wolf lurking near and flee. To bad the driver realized something was a foot. They first come threw the alley and see a garage door opened with a possible victim and his vehicle. When they come back, the victims location is unknown and the vehicle's door is now opened. They got spooked by the changes you created and waiting in the dark was a great idea.
So is it an Increase In The Decrease, or a Decrease In The Increase?
I'm soooooooooo confused!
Maybe HeyJackass has the answers....
More Lies by the communisto leaders of Little Moscow on the Lake...
OT: How fucking lame is the big YOU ARE THE CHANGE sign in the vendeteria at the academy. Keep drinking the kool aid boys and girls. In few yrs the dept will come up with another campaign to say you're not good enough.
Robberies must be down. I ride the Red Line weekly. Armed to the teeth and wearing camo. Haven't been a victim yet. Retired, not in good standing.
So....
Is he sayin’ that extra attention to violent crimes committed by gang members against gang members is NOT warranted ?
Well bravo.
Buy that man a C Gar!
Extra magazine. Yes, just like predators in the wilderness, they can sense your status.
Prey or predator.
Welcome to the jungle tourists:
At least 3 attacked by dozens of teens on Red Line platform on Near North Side
https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/group-of-50-teens-attack-3-on-red-line-platform-on-near-north-side/
So the urban terrorists attack tourists from San Jose’s “do you know the way to San Jose you can bet I will never return to Chicago the crime capital” no description of teens again the blacks problem?
To the guy who had the robbery case with the cowboy detective. Ever heard of an override?
Suburban Police Shoot Man They Say Was Armed; Mother Disputes Account
You should know how to handle your fucking son and not call the police.
IS car jacking a robbery...
With a gun of course. But like my sergeant with 2 master degrees told me was did they ask for the car?
was the gun pointed at the victims?
NO FORCE used ??? right the bad guy was waving the gun around not actually using it.
Its more of a theft by tricking the drivers into thinking they will get hurt not actually being hurt.
I recalled when Special ED has his NIFTY department issued bullet proof vehicle broken into and mystery folder disappeared. Anybody wanna recall how many detective,ET's, TACT team etc etc worked on it?
Again who cares until an exempts "nephew" (CLINES) has his cell stolen on a CTA train and the FEDs phone tracking van is called in...

So.....you passed on the opportunity.
Okay.
Duly noted.
To paraphrase Marion Berry- If you take out the killings, Chicago actually has a very very low crime rate.
Good work CPD, the less you do the more crime drops. Fetal was the answer to all our problems.
Keep up the good work I feel safer already.
Not properly identifying crime on paper doesn't make it disappear, as you can put lipstick on a pig, it's still a PIG!
It's the not ENFORCING any of these laws, letting the "community" do exactly as they want to the general public, sure, carjack that old lady, terrorize the Chinese tourists, shop-n-steal as much as you want, retail theft is no longer a real crime, let gangs of roving "yutes" run roughshod over the Mag Mile, then ship them on the El so they can beat, intimidate, ROB, that set of citizens......
When our politicians call for the NON-ENFORCEMENT of society's laws and rules of civility, what actually happens is that politicians are
ENDORSING these crimes. No punishment, no crime.
Citizens suck this up because the media is not reporting it. Let’s all bury our heads in sand and pretend crime is not happening.
Armed carjackings up 1,000%..
How about the city-wide rise in Criminal Sexual Assaults, particularly in 018 and 019.
Read the reports - they’re not stranger dangers. Under the new law we have to take every claim, even if it’s anonymous. And all of the bad craigslist dates, and drunks picking guys up in bars, and co-workers,...

Was it Bittenbinder?
A) Crime is down
B) City will fully fund pensions
C) There’ll be no new taxes
D) All of the above
Which answer is complete and utter bullshit?
The answer is D .... all of the above.
This is also a targeted gun free zone. If there is a workplace, a dinner bar or other shop that people walk or take the train to, tge Yutes then know their targets are disarmed and thus easy pickings.
Ironically, media has been reporting, 'Chicago Police stated crime is down.'

I call it the wanna-be predator that we see doing carjackings, robbery's of women and older folks. However, it's amazing to witness the wanna-be suddenly change gears when they sense a predator.

The numbers are all a lie pure and simple to protect the narrative that the crime is down. It’s done on purpose to protect the feral predators and black thugs that are needed by prickwinkle and the rest of the victim class dummycrat machine permanent welfare class voters in order to be elected. Preckwinkle and Cabrini Kim must be stopped.

Congratulations for being aware and probably saving your own life!
Also, your advice is wise and should be well-heeded by all.
I never get tired of reading about a successful thwarting of the beast.

Fuck that. My unusually massive poodle is with me on the red line. He, too, wears camo gear and a vest. We do not have to go out at 0200 hours. He pisses and shits in the transit car much like the dregs of society. The dregs think he is either my personal "dis"comfort canine or he is on sanctioned, aggressive patrol. In inch high letters, his name is embroidered on his collar. HOMICIDE. We enjoy riding the train.
