Growing up I used to love 4th of Jul, running around in a plaid short sleeve shirt with sparklers and an orange pop mustache with my friends. After almost 30 years on the job I have learned to dread this day. Even though I live in one of the safest neighborhoods in the city it seems like the fireworks nowadays remind me of shots fired and some seriously awful days on the job. It’s embarassing when I have to excuse myself from my neighbors and go inside. I use the excuse of having a migraine to leave but the constant explosions and gunfire like sounds make my heart pound and the memories of that Adrenalin rush when you heard the loud reports I did almost daily, force me to go in and put music on headphones. It seems like the 4th extends the rest of the summer and a lot of sleepless nights for me. Does anyone else have these issues?
I was raised in a Democrat household. The Republicans were the party of Nixon and humorless rich men. To see how low the Democrats have sunk and condone aggressive Anti-American Socialists is truly frightening for the future of the country. I believe in helping my neighbor and those in need but their party policies have actively sucked the life out of the middle class America. The party of JFK is more in line with the policies of Khrushchev. To offset this the Republicans have appeased them to no end. Our country is still the greatest country in the world but is fracturing in ways not seen since the 1860’s. Our current President has set the the economy on fire and is neither a Dem or Rep, he’s truly unique,obnoxious and exactly what we need. These are dangerous times and he has my full support and by the way where can I buy the Betsy Ross Nike’s?

Isn't school out? It's the start of their three month vacation.
Suicide rate is high for law enforcement. Cancel days off , time away from Family contributes to problems at home . Waste of tax dollars by Lori not so bright light foot . Police resources today are being used to prosecute drug dealers , gang members from being gunned down . Citizens of Chicago that live in civilized neighborhood will not receive any extra police protection. What Gangs is she protecting with the working men and women tax dollars. Every day police are required to spend time in a high crime drug dealing neighborhoods, while your neighbors is easy pickings for the gypsies conning elderly , the hypes , common criminals that roam safe neighborhoods after dark to commit garage burglary ,theft from autos ,a few strong armed robberies and in the north ,south loop sexual assaults of young women . 1500 days off cancelled , those house cats ,cowards will not make any arrests , will hide inside , while the beat cars will be in the ghetto , keeping the drug dealers safe .
Thanks CPD, for maintaining absolutely no control over all the explosions on the 3rd & 4th and what basically amounts to all the ordinance dropped on Iwo Jima during WWII! But, if I'm caught riding my bike on the empty sidewalk, feel free to make a U-turn on a busy street to give me a ticket! Priorities! No wonder Shitcago is a shit show!

Use Comp Time, BFD and Personal days before you take family leave. You do not get paid when you take family leave.
President Donald Trump’s “Salute to America” on the National Mall at 7:30 pm CST. Two-hour edition of Special Report With Brett Baier on the FOX News Channel starting at 5:00 CST. Please note all the communist snowflake stations and FakeNews outlets will not be televising the event.
If you have to work in place of an RDO house mouse and can’t watch, leave the Zenith on, set your VCR before you head out into PeaceFrog LightLoafer’s Sanctuary.
I'm all for utilizing and filing that leave under Federal + State. You know why? If Trump is not reelected, the illegals will be getting FMLA. So use it now! BTW: Dow closed Wednesday @ 26,966.00 (That's just 34 points below 27 K! So we ARE going to hit 27 K: That's 9,000 points higher than mid-June 2015) The teachers know these numbers, and they know the pension plans are invested in stocks. They speak up. Why can't cops speak up?
Happy Birthday America !! Please Police Officers stay safe .You are much appreciated and needed!!! May God Bless All the First Responders ,Their Families and The rest of Us on the streets of this hellhole city. Kaepernick do you ever stop crying? WTF man!!! Nike so pathetic.Shame on you,you hypocrites with your cheap labor around the World.No more purchases from me .You want to stoke the evil fires of hate and racism, F U.
This city is out of its mind. Every 3rd watch Detective from the area is assigned downtown. There are no detectives to cover any incidents, (violent, RBT or SVU) but there are four on every corner to give the illusion of more police.

Just buy a Betsy Ross flag from an American manufacturer. Buy NOTHING made by morally bankrupt Nike. (They're all made overseas, anyway.)
God bless our Military, Law Enforcement Officers, Fire Fighters and Emergency Medical Services personnel. Without them, where in the world would most of us be? Up S--t's Creek!
Picture of Trump blasting ball out of tall grass rough (red cap, white shirt & pants; club in air at end of swing) is iconic: looks like Babe Ruth. It's a visual metaphor for blasting the economy out of the Obama slump.
And while the honky tonk president of Christmas past wears a white paper hat serving up soda jerk sundaes, the new financial president looks out for American interests, advances the stock market, and stands firm in the face of international tyranny. Happy Birthday America

I can’t speak for RBT (lol) no one cares about the RBT in progress cases- lol. Did you think you would be carried and slide home for the tour? NOT! Get some time on kid.

Probably more than you’d imagine. I have somewhat tolerable (not that I really have choice) tinnitus that my Doctor contributes hearing loss to the roof mounted siren, blaring radio and shoulder mic. Let’s not forget poor hearing protection on the range.

School strike. Let them starve. Over educated morons teaching same shit every year. Role models? Yeah, for slouches and welfare contracts upon college graduation. A whole fucking contingent with a 9-month duty cycle. Don't key their collective mic during summer----they will melt down. I always knew most of my teachers were evening news department store clothing models.
At 2200..navy pier,,multiple stabbings... mass stampede out of the pier ..fuckin ghettoites mess up everything...1 women eriously hurt in the mad stampede
Be safe 011 Tac officers. Word has it the incompetent new tac LT won’t allow tac cars to ride around together and ask for no arrest but visibility instead. Apparently he’s a big micromanager with no personality and no real police experience. I’ve talked to several P.O.’s who work in 011 Tac and on the watch and I guess he’s that guy that can’t be trusted and no one wants to work for. Glad I got out of that place before he came. He sounds like and officer safety issue that no one would want to work for.

7/04/2019 08:38:00 AM —————————— It sounds like you’re having a difficult time with this. Please find someone through CPD to talk to about it. Right now you’ve found a way to cope (going inside and putting on headphones), but at some point that might not be enough. A professional counselor may be able to help put things in perspective or suggest some coping mechanism—just talking face to face with someone may help. Take care of yourself—you deserve it.
what happened at Navy Pier rumor four stabbed , people injured by stampedes lost children ghetto is up for grabs drug dealers , gang bangers protected by new mayor what drug dealers , support the democratic party silly question , all of them which gangs are being protected from rival gangs follow the money , see where special ed assigns officers working days off

Why stay in Chicago for the 4th if you don't have to. I leave every year and have a good time. Even if you don't want to go far the suburbs outside of their 20 minutes fireworks show do not put up with that shit. And yes some years it does last all summer. I liked blowing fireworks as a kid buy not now. Some of these adults get their rocks off blowing one after another after another. How many booms do you need to make you happy?
The democrats have always been trash, spitting on soldiers upon their return from Nam, burning draft cards, supporting the black panthers, the list could go on. Because no democrats were rich right? That swarmy prick JFK, the other jagoff LBJ, I mean your whole quote is right out of the democratic playbook. It’s ok for my party but not theirs. Democratic hippy crap from the morons in my parents generations are the ones that have left us with the trash we have today.
My taxes keep on going up. .19 cents a gallon increase for gasoline in Illinois Pay more money to teachers who can’t teach the unteachable Viewing all the public schools that have signs with a message in Spanish, English soon to be extinct Sanctuary city My street has needed repaving for 10 years strong. Never see a squad car in my neighborhood. Water, sewer and garbage collection bills sky high. Property taxes always going up, up, up Shootings galore Wildings on Michigan Avenue Navy Pier up for grabs Public housing coming soon to your neighborhood The Bean destroyed
Anonymous said... Chicago should legalize fireworks , like casinos. Indiana making all the profits 7/05/2019 09:24:00 AM
I'm sure you meant Illinois. Chicago can't legalize fireworks in violation of state law.
And, when Illinois does legalize them (because Pritzker will see the value in taxing them), Chicago STILL won't, due to the congestion of housing and the danger to people and real estate.

I’m confused. He wants no arrests but wants you just to drive around and be visible and that’s an officer safety issue?

After almost 30 years on the job I have learned to dread this day. Even though I live in one of the safest neighborhoods in the city it seems like the fireworks nowadays remind me of shots fired and some seriously awful days on the job. It’s embarassing when I have to excuse myself from my neighbors and go inside. I use the excuse of having a migraine to leave but the constant explosions and gunfire like sounds make my heart pound and the memories of that Adrenalin rush when you heard the loud reports I did almost daily, force me to go in and put music on headphones. It seems like the 4th extends the rest of the summer and a lot of sleepless nights for me. Does anyone else have these issues?

It sounds like you’re having a difficult time with this. Please find someone through CPD to talk to about it. Right now you’ve found a way to cope (going inside and putting on headphones), but at some point that might not be enough. A professional counselor may be able to help put things in perspective or suggest some coping mechanism—just talking face to face with someone may help. Take care of yourself—you deserve it.
what happened at Navy Pier
rumor four stabbed , people injured by stampedes
lost children
ghetto is up for grabs
drug dealers , gang bangers protected by new mayor
what drug dealers , support the democratic party
silly question , all of them
which gangs are being protected from rival gangs
follow the money , see where special ed assigns officers working days off
Why is chief staples such a bust out ? Your clearance rate is embarrassing you should have been demoted a long time ago.
Carry on

Why stay in Chicago for the 4th if you don't have to. I leave every year and have a good time. Even if you don't want to go far the suburbs outside of their 20 minutes fireworks show do not put up with that shit. And yes some years it does last all summer. I liked blowing fireworks as a kid buy not now. Some of these adults get their rocks off blowing one after another after another. How many booms do you need to make you happy?
“Mayhem at the Pier”....... any descriptions ????

The democrats have always been trash, spitting on soldiers upon their return from Nam, burning draft cards, supporting the black panthers, the list could go on. Because no democrats were rich right? That swarmy prick JFK, the other jagoff LBJ, I mean your whole quote is right out of the democratic playbook. It’s ok for my party but not theirs. Democratic hippy crap from the morons in my parents generations are the ones that have left us with the trash we have today.

VRI...stay off the sidewalk then.
"...but if I'm caught riding my bike in an empty sidewalk..."
The only reason you are able to ride your bike is because the CPD keeps you safe. Sounds like someone peed in your Cheerios.
"...running around in a plain short sleeved shirt..."
Did you have a Roy Rogers cowboy hat and cap pistol? I did.
My taxes keep on going up.
.19 cents a gallon increase for gasoline in Illinois
Pay more money to teachers who can’t teach the unteachable
Viewing all the public schools that have signs with a message in Spanish, English soon to be extinct
Sanctuary city
My street has needed repaving for 10 years strong.
Never see a squad car in my neighborhood.
Water, sewer and garbage collection bills sky high.
Property taxes always going up, up, up
Shootings galore

I'm sure you meant Illinois. Chicago can't legalize fireworks in violation of state law.
And, when Illinois does legalize them (because Pritzker will see the value in taxing them), Chicago STILL won't, due to the congestion of housing and the danger to people and real estate.

Thanks CPD, for maintaining absolutely no control over all the explosions on the 3rd & 4th and what basically amounts to all the ordinance dropped on Iwo Jima during WWII! But, if I'm caught riding my bike on the empty sidewalk, feel free to make a U-turn on a busy street to give me a ticket! Priorities! No wonder Shitcago is a shit show!

And just how do you suggest the police stop it? Please, be specific.

Be safe 011 Tac officers. Word has it the incompetent new tac LT won’t allow tac cars to ride around together and ask for no arrest but visibility instead. Apparently he’s a big micromanager with no personality and no real police experience. I’ve talked to several P.O.’s who work in 011 Tac and on the watch and I guess he’s that guy that can’t be trusted and no one wants to work for. Glad I got out of that place before he came. He sounds like and officer safety issue that no one would want to work for.

I’m confused. He wants no arrests but wants you just to drive around and be visible and that’s an officer safety issue?
