Pander!

  • Another long holiday weekend, another slew of shootings in Chicago. Last week, Mayor Lori Lightfoot had outlined her plans for dealing with the expected surge of summer holiday violence. In all, an extra 1,500 officers were being put on the street.

    The results, however, were worse than last year, with the same number of fatalities, and even more wounded, according to the Chicago Police Department. Lightfoot discussed the weekend after another of her “Accountability Monday” meetings with police at City Hall.
So far, not a single exempt members has been called on the carpet, publicly excoriated or demoted. So who exactly is being held "accountable?"

It's the police's fault Groot says:
  • Earlier in the day, CPD Supt. Eddie Johnson had blamed repeat gun offenders for much of the violence. Lightfoot agreed, and said CPD must communicate better with courts, “particularly about the necessity of keeping these violent gun offenders off the streets.”
That's not our job, nor is it Special Ed's job. That's YOUR job Groot - coordinate with the heads of other bodies of government and tell them their policies of releasing everyone on low bond / no bond are killing the "community."

Groot continues with the usual anti-gun lies:
  • Lightfoot also called for “common sense background checks” and federal legislation to stop people from purchasing “unlimited quantities” of “military-grade weapons” across the state line Indiana.
We'll take "Crap that never happened for $500 Alex." Do people (or folks) really believe this bullshit?

And Special Ed showing just how "special" he can be:
  • The challenge going forward for Chicago police, Johnson said, is how to stop repeat offenders, especially in the face of gang involvement in certain areas.

    “As a black man who grew up in public housing in the city of Chicago, I understand the stranglehold that gangs have on certain neighborhoods … because I lived it,” Johnson said.

    “I also understand the struggle, challenges and lack of opportunities when you grow up in certain neighborhoods in Chicago, and if you look a certain way,” he added. “But despite all of that, there’s still no excuses, or justified reasons for carrying the guns in the city. None.”
Except for Concealed Carry laws, right? Only those aren't the people (or folks) shooting each other.

No bar too high for this moron to jump once his boss tells him to leap.

I just don't understand how the politicians just stand around looking at fatal train wreck after fatal train wreck and do absolutely nothing but stand and look!!! The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and hoping, looking, wishing, etc..., for a different outcome. YOU ARE THE MAYOR NOW - DO SOME FUCKING POSITIVE MAYORLY THING ABOUT THE CHAOS AND CARNAGE FOR CHRIST'S SAKE!!! Quit blaming everybody but those responsible, the people and folks engaged in the gang drug trade!!! Don't need to be a genius to figure out they are the problem, now do something about it or GTFO of the kitchen!!!

I must communicate better with the courts about the necessity to not let felons charged with another weapons violation, out on the street? I arrest shit bag with gun, he goes to court where they’re all supposed to be well aware of the background of the person they have before them. How am I supposed to communicate to them to not let them go. Show up to his bond hearing “excuse me judge, please don’t let this guy go, he’s been naughty”? Does our goblin of a mayor not understand how court works? So it’s not kimmies office, it’s not Evans demanding affordable bail, it’s not dart, noooooo, it’s the poleeeces fault for not letting the court know that the convicted felon charged with UUW by felon, is indeed a felon in possession of a firearm? I thought my paperwork stating “UUW BY FELON” was pretty concise and accurate communication.

Nice job deflecting Kermit. Maybe its time you actually called out your buddy Foxx by name. What are police supposed to do in court ? Demand the judge puts them away ? You are supposedly an ex Fed . Do you have no grasp of the way the law works ? Put Kimmy on blast. Its not Indiana, its not background checks...its not poverty either. Why would anyone who can steal, sell dope who makes more money than the average shmoe on the street work at Walmart ? Are you really that stupid ? Put the motherfuckers away for a long time. Word might get around in the hood that they will do serious time. Ya think shit like that will work ? Idiot. Tired of hearing the same blather from these talking heads. Lets make it more illegaler with new laws that will mean absolutely NOTHING to your fucked up , out of control community members but make it worse for the peaceful, law abiding people who live here. For once I would love to hear one of these assholes call a spade a spade and place the blame where it really lies. No brains. No worries.

Groot and Special Ed... What a moronic combo.

As an ex-Federal Prosecutor, Groot ought to know that there was some straw purchaser in IN who bought something like 52 guns, brought them across the State line to IL, and sold them to 'bangers in Chicago.

Instead of charging her with 52 counts of gun trafficking, 52 counts of lying on the 4473's, 52 counts of selling to people w/o FOID cards, and putting her in prison for 1560 years (10 years per violation), they dropped all but one of the charges, plead the remaining charge to a misdemeanor, gave her 6 months probation, 6 months 'time served' credit, and let her out pretty much immediately.

Sent the message that gun trafficking is OK in that case. So how the hell can Groot complain about it now?

Friggin democrats - all completely insane.

Thanks Groot! You know I reluctantly got a CCW because of the violence in the Black Community impacting other communities in the city? You know I also bought myself one of those “military grade” weapons when one of my black neighbors revealed himself to be a racist fuck by attacking one of the 5 other white people on my block club?

I’m sympathetic to views on institutional racism, generational poverty, etc. keeping the Black Community locked in poverty and violence. But for Christ’s sake take some responsibility for picking up guns and pulling the god damned triggers.

I am no fan of the current Superintendent, but what do you hope will be accomplished by firing him? Do you think someone new will have some secret previously untried strategy that will stop or stem the shootings and/or killings? If you do you are woefully uninformed or have been in a deep coma for years and are unaware of the neutering of the Chicago Police Department. There is no magic bag of tricks or slick new strategy that will make an impact or eliminate the current state of affairs. Hiring a new captain for the Chitanic would be nonsensical, futile and a waste of money to search for a new fall guy or girl.

How did you succeed in life and so many other of your neighbors fall shirt in life ? Maybe when your stint as Superintendent is over you can travel to the “community” and tell the secret of your success , on how you became the Superintendent of police. You know , you tell the “community “ that lacks opportunities, because of where they live and how they look how they too can succeed in life. Ed you’re a fucking goof. You promote people and folks in this shit show department , because they were frat brothers of yours and that’s the only qualification they have. Every time you give an interview it’s like a bad car wreck. I don’t want to watch it , but I can’t stop myself from watching because it’s so ridiculous.

In keeping with the SJW and Democratic/Socialist/Communist agendas Chicago news station channel 7 now calls shooting victims as “people injured”. That way the dumb citizens can just imagine if these “injured” tripped on one of the many broken sidewalks or fell off their electric scooters or Divi bikes. Combine that with the policy of not releasing the race of the offenders are all in line with Prickwinkies agenda that “there are too many black and brown men in jail”.

Until the ban is lifted on implementing Terry v. Ohio which permits stop and frisk, there will be no end to the shootings in Chicago. Since the City has entered into a consent decree with the DOJ which not only forbids stop and search but which also punishes officers who employ it, there can’t be proactive police work to prevent miscreants from transporting guns all over the city at will. LL was instrumental in placing the ban on stop and search in her previous position with the police board and should come to realize that unless the police are allowed to act on reasonable suspicion as the SCOTUS has recognized and allows, the police will only be able to act after the crime or shooting has been committed and merely take a report while the CFD washes down the blood from the sidewalks. Prevention is not going to happen without use of the tool known as stop and frisk.

I know you hate exempt members, but what are they supposed to do? Black people kill other blacks people in the ghetto. Whether an exempt is a house mouse or merit promoted has nothing to do with it. The accountability lies with the demographic who are killing each other. How long is the criminal history of each “victim”? They lead lives of crime and are then killed by violent crime. This is no surprise, and the only ones who can stop it is their own community. The world has thrown tons of money and resources to “the community.” They have LINK, WIC, SNAP, free school, even free meals all summer. Thousands of hours of police overtime. Yet they choose to kill each other.

Well, kill away. It’s not a tragedy. Cull the herd. Zero people were killed in Norwood Park, Garfield Ridge, Mount Greenwood, Beverly, etc. because people in those neighborhoods choose not to kill each other.

The mayor should put the accountability where it belongs.

Also, to the guy who calculated the number of years the straw purchaser SHOULD have been sentenced to: excellent point.

Truly Innocent bystanders = Sadly, wrong place, wrong time, error in presuming otherwise.

Mildly Innocent bystanders = wrong place, wrong time, know they should have known not to erroneously presume otherwise.

Situationally Innocent bystanders = oh well..... If not here, then somewhere else, if not then, then some other time. Again, oh well....

Undetermined as Innocent bystanders = Chalkie knows. Trust that.

Not at all Innocent bystanders = roll the dice, crap out, pay up. Yeah. Fuck you, pay me.

Known Guilty who the fuck evers = Bingo!!!!

Mother Nature does not have Chalkie on call for no good reason. Trust Mother Nature.

To the Innocents:

Do not be in the wrong place.

Know that there is no such thing as the right time to be in the wrong place.

Know, also, that there is no such thing as there being a right place where there is never a wrong time.

Any place can be the wrong place.

Any time can be the wrong time.

The pop pop pop of the pistol is not even a blip on the radar of the wrong place, wrong time equation.

A mere pittance.

Even at today's rates.

Jammed as we here are, big city, elbow to elbow, cheek to cheek, (just stop, Kay Bee, you are not getting your craved for ass to ass!!!!), we are far more currently aware of these events.

Were the city to be rendered apart, say, by neighborhoods, each being geographically distanced from the other, the perceptions of these events would be mere gossip inducing, perhaps, a greater awareness in those areas not occuring.

Jammed and crammed as we here are, it only seems like we are all in this together.

We are not all in this together.

We are only bound by the comminality of being taxed according to our individual ability to pay. Ya know, marxism. Default marxism is aka democratism. Crook county style. (Yeah. I got my 2nd tax reaming this week. Taxation via property market value assessment is evil. Jagoff down the block pays bloated price for rehabbed shack and I am presumed to have gained. I ain't selling, so, what the fuck gain have I received? Why, I gained another 50% tax penetration depth up my ass!!! Boy. That makes me feel so special!!!)

Hey Groot and Ed, this isn't rocket science. Pull a Rudy and institute stop-and-frisk where the 4% have turned "certain neighborhoods" into 3rd world war zones. That policy worked in NYC and it'll work in Chicago.

CPD, please be safe and lay low until Groot and Ed actually take ownership of the violence. Go to work, take care of each other and go home safe. Don't get involved until those two support your mission instead of constantly blaming you for their failed pandering to the "community and folks".

Yes, there are some struggles growing up in certain neighborhoods, mainly flying lead. But, if you want to do better there is a pretty much sure fire way to do it; stay in school, do not have children in your unmarried teens, dress for success ( as much as budget will allow), and respect you neighbors. Poverty is not an excuse for shooting and killing people. Plenty of people work their way out of poverty into a fairly decent life.Lightfoot is the same as every liberal progressive, no sense of personal responsibility, but always blaming others.Lightfoot talks about "neglected communities". Neglected by whom? By the government, hardly. Plenty of cash dumped into 007/006/002/11 districts.

Still no Cook County Office of Restorative Justice blame.
Jugghaid thinks bonds are too low, without mentioning Felony Review or a decade of swift automatic District I-Bonding for everyone.

He sure was quick to bring up all the gun recoveries but no inventory numbers or stock photo was rehashed to back that up.
Lot of work still has to done. In Jugghaid's case, that’s around 10 months.

All that overtime, aggravation, confusion caused by cancellation of days off and personal plan disruption, had no effect on violent feral crime? These smart people sure know what they’re doing. Nobody took the time to look at last years “flooding the zone” attempt?

Who cares.

Nobody here was fooled.
Only a couple months in as mayor and LightLoafer still as dumbfounded as day one out of scholarship law school.
What part of her whole campaign promise package has been put in place?
Remember the tenets of her campaign - Zip Code service.

Pissed off about a little paint on a Bean.
Bullfrog LightLoafer and SpecialEd the Sundance Kid spinning the blame with nonsensical claims as the city goes further into the point of no return. Some voters are going to take notice just how these two twits, and many like them are not shining stars but rather bigmouth bullshitters.

It’s mind boggling to the law abiding why Frootie MacGrootie is keeping Jugghaid employed (surely for pension purposes) but really any replacement will have to come in as a proven, better community organizer than he ever was. Finding another public housing success story might be held up by multi-merit promotion snafu.

Why are so many teachers violating the residency ordinance and living outside the city using fake addresses and their so called inspector general does nothing, while if coppers get caught they are fired? They pay so little into their bloated pensions and they get cola That rises every year,while coppers get a raise with zero increases just the same raise every year. Like if you got $1500.00 your first year of retirement you get 1500 every other year while teachers are compounded but Lori gives them everything!

That would take a Full Council Vote even if it managed to get out of the Pedestrian and Traffic Safety Committee in the first place.

19
11
39
38
45
41


How many register their vehicles to the Burbs or Wisconsin. Indiana, Michigan to scoff on the City Sticker Ordinance?

We in Finance already get so many crybabies over the City Sticker requirement to park a Pickup Truck or a Van on a Residential Street issue.

I've suggested this type of Parking Ban needs to happen before.

I suggested it to Naps in 41, Johnny in 45, Scott in 32, and a half dozen others over the years.

And make it 9a-9p unless the vehicle is parked on an Active Residential Permit Zone street with a current, valid Visitor Temp Pass.

OT but saw this in the news yesterday about Rialmo:

Attorneys for the City of Chicago argued that Rialmo was reckless because he could have used alternative uses of force like pepper spray, a baton or a Taser.

Rialmo was only carrying his gun when responding to the incident, however. The officer had let his Taser certification lapse and left his baton in his police vehicle.

A civil verdict concluded the shooting was justified. Chicago police Superintendent Eddie Johnson initially agreed but later filed several charges against Rialmo and recommended that he be fired.

Deadly force (baseball bat) is met with deadly force. Chicago Police Academy training 101

This is a Tad long, and I'm going to lecture a tad, so if you guys decide to edit or not post, I understand.


I see the Cherry Picking here in Chicago also.

Coppers in certian demographic areas dropping Missing Rear and Front plate on a vehicle for Both the Missing Front and Rear plates, same time & date. Cops from Unit 212 dropping a Tow Zone Parker and a Hydrant Parker on the same vehicle at the same time on the Museum Campus near Old Meigs Field. Cops pulling cars over in 011 and 015 for No Front Plate, but Ignoring a Motorscooter in 018 with no rear plate as it drives by. Fat fucker in 020 yelling at a PEA on crutches with 1 leg about "you're doing MY Street Cleaning"
Squads driving around in 025 and 016 in the 38th Ward areas Ignoring all the vehicles up on the Parkways or parked on the side streets with 1 temp plate on 3 different vehicles near garages.

Coppers in all 50 wards Ignoring the Commercial Vehicles, Trailers, Semi Trucks, Taxi's and Livery vehicles parking on the streets when they are not supposed to be there at all.

I could go on and on.

So please....don't cry about what the Burb coppers do or don't do.


You want to know WHY we catch a lot of crap at Finance? Because as you guys sat harder and harder on your Parker Books and the City was forced to give more and more Ordinances to the PEAs, as some City workers like to put it, The Nicer Wards were found to be more reliably productive than the shit hole areas where they DON"T pay their tickets.

Like the Lovely 41st Ward today. Some MORON had the audacity to cry "Why don't you go to 36th and Cottage Grove and Ticket 'them' and leave us alone up here!!!! Because he got told he can't use the Loading Zone by his Restaurant as a parking spot so his guests don't have to pay the meters, but the commercial delivery trucks end up blocking the alley's and the bus stops on Northwest Highway to make their deliveries.

To 7/09/2019 12:41:00 PM and the rest....don't do anything wrong with your vehicle and I promise, you have nothing to worry about from us PEA's. Not like we do movers..

Why are so many teachers violating the residency ordinance and living outside the city using fake addresses and their so called inspector general does nothing, while if coppers get caught they are fired? They pay so little into their bloated pensions and they get cola That rises every year,while coppers get a raise with zero increases just the same raise every year. Like if you got $1500.00 your first year of retirement you get 1500 every other year while teachers are compounded but Lori gives them everything!

Saw a recent piece on 60 minutes where a group of medical doctors/researchers from (I may be mistaken, but I think it was Johns Hopkins) have made huge advances in finding a cure for Sickle Cell Anemia that involves correcting the DNA strand that makes Sickle Cell prominent in the African populace. Know how they did it? By profiling the African-American community. Profiling isn't wrong... unless you are the police. What was Terry Hillard's public service campaign? "Profiling? Not on my watch!"

They found out that the chief, and the majority of the people in charge of investigators, had never handled a criminal investigation themselves. When they offered advice to change that first, they were immediately shot down and tuned out from giving any other tips and clues.

I would venture to guess that 75% or more of thses scholars had the City pick up the tab for those degrees.

YET we never seen any of them "create" anything. Same old plans of light on the squad car on and stand in uniform for holiday weekends in the corners of Downtown.

Rialmo was only carrying his gun when responding to the incident, however. The officer had let his Taser certification lapse and left his baton in his police vehicle.

A civil verdict concluded the shooting was justified. Chicago police Superintendent Eddie Johnson initially agreed but later filed several charges against Rialmo and recommended that he be fired.

Deadly force (baseball bat) is met with deadly force. Chicago Police Academy training 101

Hmm let me think about this. Nut job with a bike charging down stairs vs. Ofc with a baton (toothpick). I prefer the gun option. Also reminds me of that movie quote "dont bring a knife to a gun fight"

Anybody ever notice that around the southwest burbs, Oak Lawn, Burbank, Evergreen Park,Palos, etc; that the Cops will stop and ticket cars with no front plate if it is an older, lower value make and model, but drive right past a car with no front plate, if it is a high-end vehicle, like a Mercedes, BMW, Lincoln, Infinity, Cadillac, etc, without stopping that car for the exact same offense ? Why is that ? What's with the selective enforcement ? You can see it all the time out in the Burbs. No wonder Joe Sixpack gets pissed off at the cops sometimes. Are the cops afraid it is somebody of influence driving the more expensive cars, and afraid to get involved ?

Those are high end cars to you?

7/09/2019 07:41:00 PM

What cars do you view as high end? I would say those are all seen as "luxury brands". At least they were on the Car and Driver 2019 list and in fact the Mercedes-Benz S-class was listed as the number one full size luxury car. Though he didn't mention Kia, Hyundai's Genesis G90 , Volvo, Audi or the Lexus and their hideous grille by name -- he did say etcetera. And regarding enforcement, he has a point.

As used in political rhetoric, "common sense" is a totally subjective stall. One person's version of "common sense" could be a rational person's metaphor for INSANITY. Beware of those, particularly politicians, who use this terminology without being objective and specific.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out Eddie Johnson's change of heart regarding Officer Rialmo. Lightfoot ordered him to have the officer separated from the CPD. Mind you, it was a tragedy that the woman neighbor was accidentally killed.

Notwithstanding, the circumstances exonerate Officer Rialmo's use of deadly force against an emotionally disturbed subject who refused to drop the swinging baseball bat, a bludgeon that certainly qualifies as a deadly weapon.

Plain and simple. The city wants to use Rialmo as a scapegoat.

Are you really that naive?


Pull a Shift in Wards 38, 39 and 41. Go on a enforcement jaunt for 9-64-170A in the "Nicer Areas" of those wards.

See how many come out crying "Thats my Pickup." and wait for it when you rattle off " It is illegal for a Pickup Truck to be parked on a Residential Street at any time in Chicago if it doesn't have a Chicago City Sticker on it."

Or roll up and down Irving from Narragansett to Oak Park....I know you're going to find a Semi parked there at lest 1 or 2 days every week. Or the Garage at Oak Park and Addison....bound to be a vehicle on the parkway between the driveways. Same for the garage at Pontiac and Irving or Forest Preserve and Octavia.

People in Chicago act so (*&^%$#@! about tickets from us because YOU GUYS Stopped doing it!

And the result is, we get shit on by Everyone...Including City Employees that are supposed to bloody well know better and Lead by Example.

Are you butt-hurt over the telling of truth?

Are you upset about "that racist cop blog"
that shows the world that the real racists
and haters are of, by and from your perpetually
aggrieved community of "peoples an' folkses"
who delight in chasing each other with guns
to show the world how much you hate each other,
hate peaceful and law abiding society and reject
the authority and rule of law?

You "peoples an' folkses" make much of "being bad"
and "da witefolk scared of us" as your "youths"
migrate to under-Policed parts of this city to
have their fun and culturally express themselves
without fear of direct Police interdiction.

That is....
Until the day when the people you think are supposed
to submit to your outrages, finally decide to fight
you back and chase you back to your traditional
hunting and breeding areas where you are free to
continue being an affliction to each other only.

Now...
If only there was a way that "We The People"
can de-fund you and yours.

But you'll cry and have your friends at the
ACLU gake up your cause because you feel that
you are "owed" even to the point of being a
detriment and hindrance to society as a whole.

Fix yourselves...

Reject the willfully ignorant among you
and cast them out to fend for themselves.

They... Are a drag on your collective well being.

Stop with the false construct of "We all gonna get
to the promised land."

Liberation Pseudo Theology clap-trap has availed
your community exactly what since 1965?

Violence. Fatherlessness. Hatred of education.
Embrace of ignorance. Lack of impulse control.

You're essentially the adult children your
Communist masters and their loyal overseers
have thought of you for the last 100 years.

But you finally have a seat at the table.
Right?

That's what your Communist masters and financial
supporters of your grievance mongering want you
to believe. That you've somehow arrived when you're
firmly stuck in reverse.

But you're too busy getting revenge against
The Police to notice that you as a people are
in full-power reverse instead of what you
percieve as the "racism" of everybody having
the nerve to pass you by...

Half our life...
Seeing what your community does...

It played out mere feet from the front bumper
of the Blue & White...

Heh...

An opposing viewpoint.

You'll scream yourself into a frenzy and call on
all of yours to co-sign with you that what we
posted, is racist.

We reckon racism in your eyes is a studied and informed
refusal to kiss community ass and see the community for
the hateful, vicious. racist and destructive force it is.

As Chicago continues to accept uneven terms of surrender
as dictated by "The Community" with the assistance of
those traitors at the ACLU, Chicago will never truly
prosper or know peace.

"If only we can take down that cop blog and fire
all those cops on it."

That counts as "reform."

Right?

Police Like You Have No Friends.
