Not Just Crime That's Down

Check out this clearance rate:
  • Congrats to Supt. Johnson and Chief Staples on the 8.6% murder clearance  rate. Only 91.4% of the killers get away with murder in this town.
To be fair, Crimesha deserves part of the credit for refusing to prosecute more than a few cases.

And I raise a family here. Our city expenses suxh as water and vehicle stickers etc should be waived as we are forced to live here. This situation is not the fault of the police.

With "less crime", far few arrests and prosecutions and far fewer persons of color wrongfully arrested by the police,why haven't the operating budgets and personnel been significantly reduced at the States attorney's office, public defenders office and sheriff's office?

If the State’s Attorneys Office refused to prosecute an offender that we had arrested and sought charges on, we would still clear that murder based on a Cleared (open or closed) / Bar to Prosecution classification. We can’t blame Felony Review for all of our problems.

So why is an additional gun transfer law needed? Oh never mind, silly question. We all know that will keep honest citizens unarmed, ensuring they're easy feral target practice.

I remember a few short years back when police did not want armed citizens. Crime was low. Imagine!! Now everytime I ask one, they ENCOURAGE conceal carry.

God bless our POs. How you handle the daily human stink is beyond commendable.

It was happening long before Kim, unless you think 15% clearance rates are an exceptable number. Staples is and has been a total failure. Her people like her because she tolerates failure. Will be in line to take over from Jug Head when he finally gets shown the door. Nothing like a proven failure to get promoted in the CPD. Seems to be the norm. Yet you all wonder why things are so bad. Clue it starts at the top with no accountability what so ever. Merit and payto play have ruined the CPD.

Yes someone with some analytic skills please breakdown the murder clearance rate. I would venture a guess that 90% of the murders are “gang related” and when they’re gang related “nobody saw or knows nothing.” The only thing CPD could do with these cases is work the evidence, however our Crime Lab is archaic. We need to sink millions into new equipment and training our ET’s and Forensic people. It’s long overdue.

Less than 10%.
That’s a national embarrassment.

A large part is “the community” rarely, if ever, cooperated with the police during their investigations.
When is “community reform” being mandated??

Funny how the commanders the Chiefs etc. etc. nothing ever happens to them they are in charge then you look at Eddie the head of the snake has done nothing clearance rate low his command staff I joke and yet he’s going to get more time in that seat Lori is in sane she wants the same things over and over again more murder more Mayham more shootings more robberies. She will be on the train to keep bastardizing police with on dishonest media. Nothing to see here move along!

The problem is obvious. There are not enough Deputy Chiefs under Chief Staples’ command to get things done.
What is also hurting things is that are not enough take home cars.
Can you imagine the embarrassment of being a merit hack and not having a take home car.

In all fairness, a big part of the low homicide clearance rate is that “the community” has its own “code of silence”. The same folks who will scream and protest when a black gang member is shot and killed by police become strangely silent when asked to name the “community member” who killed one of their family members. I’ve heard them say - repeatedly - “that’s YOUR job”....

I remember a few years back there were some “community” rallies where reverends and mothers pleaded with “the community” to stop killing each other, but that philosophy doesn’t mix well with the focus of “black lives matter” on police shootings (ignoring that the police are responsible less than 2% of the isolent deaths of black people).

If I may paraphrase a line from “Animal House”: “They can’t kill our people; only WE can kill our people!”

Can anyone from CWB or anyone skilled with using the FOIA - Freedom of Information Act give us some help on researching specific arrests to see if Kim Foxx's SA office prosecuted the arrestee in anyway?

I'm trying to find prosecution (not) information regarding a (Black AA) young man involved in a 2/1/2019 armed robbery of a video store on the South West Side, he and his robbery crew then led Chicago Police on a 100 MPH car chase that ended on the University of Chicago Midway where the perps sideswiped many parked cars (59th and Woodlawn), the suspects fled on foot and triter to hide in U of Chicago classrooms. They were caught and led off by Chicago PD and U of Chicago PD in handcuffs. The U of Chicago Maroon campus newspaper published the photo of the perp being led off in handcuffs - this caused a huge uproar with predictable protests of "RACISM". The newspaper soon took the photo down.

So, I'm interested if the arrested suspect has been prosecuted or just let go on probation, given free college tuition etc.

The pompous liar SpecialEd wants to keep his job too.
The only clearance necessary is that of Democrat restorative justice practices and 4x Merit Jumpers.
It all started with obama endorser JPud, then St Sab’s Gmac rant, but really took off with Jugghaid SpecialEd.

Yessir crime is down that’s why the clearance rate is so low.
It’s like AOC said about unemployment being down - because folks are working 2 and 3 jobs.

Where are the murders being committed?
Who is least cooperative?
I would not be surprised if 80% of homicides where solved/solvable up to the point to where witnesses are screwed over by the States Atty Office and current community pleasing time constraints on both witness and assailants, then there’s the the entire evidence processing and availability they demand.
Clear out Cook County and the community pandering defense.

Which means the 8.6 percent of the cases that were cleared were most likely cleared/closed exceptional. Perhaps the old "mutual combatants" reasoning given by the States Attorneys Office. That was always my favorite. You shoot at me, I shoot at you, and we are both gang members trying to kill each other over turf and drugs, but its ok and doesn't matter, just call it even.

At this rate, why even bother having a detective division? Just let patrol officers handle the entire investigation. Its going to be suspended anyway. It will save the city a lot of money.

The clearance rate as of today (04 May 2019) is 56.52%
Let’s say it again... 56.52%. Anyone who says it’s not has no clue how the rate works... if you don’t understand how it works here is an explanation on how it works PER FBI GUIDELINES...

The rate is updated everyday. It is recorded daily and there are TWO components associated in the recording that make up the clearance rate. FIRST: the 2019 murders. SECOND: murders that have occurred PRIOR to 2019 often referred to as “ old murders”. So, let’s do the math so we understand and don’t sound like firemen...
As of today...
01Jan2019 thru 04 May 2019: 138 murders have been committed in Chicago.
(16) murders of the 138 have been cleared. (7) by Central, (3) by North, and (6) by South.
138 murder 16 cleared= 11.59% cleared BUT this 11.59 is not the cumulative percentage that counts.
NOW, here is the part people misunderstand... the FBI Guidelines also include murders committed prior to 2019 but are cleared by detectives within the 2019 calendar year. So, how are CPD Detectives in this category? (62)- yes, between 01 Jan thru 04 May CPD Dets have cleared an additional 62 murders.
The FBI Guidelines then require both the current 2019 clearances (16) be added to the old murders cleared (62)= (78) total cleared murders as of 04 May. Finally, divide the 78 total cleared into the 138 committed murders... you get 56.52% clearance rate. That’s not CPD CAPS math, that’s the FBI guideline.

There aren’t enough seasoned dicks to mentor and teach the intricacies of the job. But that’s what happens when the people in charge making these decisions are themselves hacks, etc.

The benefit of investigating homicides, is that if you have the ability do your job well you have the satisfaction of doing what few can do. The downside over the long term is that various "legal" groups will be after you for years with their wrongful conviction claims which can haunt you in retirement.

So, critics:

first, per a previous post, the clearance rate on drug crimes, prostitution, etc, is near 100%. Do you really think people who won't be witnesses for murder are more likely to be witnesses for the dealers and whores?

Second, regarding Kent State: The Pentagon said the war was unwinnable. That doesn't mean Demorrhoid Lyndon BJ accepted that wisdom. Remember that war, like every 20th Century war before 1991 was started by the Demorrhoids (Wilson sending arms to a belligerent power, F__DR sending arms to a belligerent power AND ordering our Navy to shoot at the other side, which they did. Truman sending troops to Korea, and aid to Vietnam, and JF___K sending combat troops. All with Demorrhoid controlled Congresses). The troops came home under Nixon--a Republican.

As far as the shooting specifically: Yes, if you spend three days throwing rocks at Guardsmen and send several to the hospital, you have to expect some return fire. And if you hang out near the people throwing rocks, don't be surprised if the guy with the gun isn't positive who's who.

You obviously have no idea how that works. When have you ever seen a case report done for prostitution or narcotics where an offender is not in custody? And where the testifying witness is not an officer?

Thanks so much for SCC, Crime in Wrigleyville and Boystown and Hey Jackass for simply posting the god awful truth about violent crime and non prosecution, non punishment of the worst criminals in our Chicago.

Also, understand you/we will be smeared, marginalized, deplatformed and mostly thrown under the bus by the worst Liberals, cuckservatives who don't want to be called mean names by BlackLiesMatter, Antifa, MediaMatters, SPLC and 6 media corporations that simply repeat what these terrible Cult Marxists, hard core Leftist say.

This weekend all kinds of perfectly legal dissident, alternative media individuals were deplatformed and banned by Jeff Zuckerberg's Facebook.

What's going on here is very clear. The Lib Leftist Democrats want total power and are determined that nothing like President Trumps upset victory ever happens anywhere in the USA again.

Please stay strong on 1st Amendment rights and don't fall for the BS by economic conservatives that private companies can serve whomever they like and not serve whomever they don't like.

Soon these social media/mainstream media monopolists will try to take control of America's free and open interstate highway system and try to deny us the right to drive on THEIR Roads.
