Brag Brag Brag....Whoops

  • Forty-five minutes into the month of September, Chicago police released month-end crime statistics for August, touting “the lowest number of August murders and shootings since 2011.”

    An hour and a half later, a 15-year-old who should’ve started high school Tuesday was shot dead outside his home.

    By 6 a.m. Sunday, four people had been killed and five more had been shot, according to police and Tribune data. At least two other people had been shot by Sunday afternoon, bringing the total number of people shot Labor Day weekend in Chicago to at least 25, seven of them fatally.
How about just holding a year-end recap of the year and brag about the numbers then? It'll be cold enough to put a stop to the karmic feedback that seems to accompany a lot of these pressers.

If my math and interpretation are correct, the 15-year-old who would have started high school was killed around 2:15am. When I was 15 I had curfew. I don’t think even my parents would have been out “hanging around” at 2am.

It's safe to say that the 15 year wouldn't have gone school anyways.

In a highly computerized world, you can get updates on near every metric at mere 15 minute intervals or less. That does not mean anyone should avoid the main metrics which count: Quarterly stats and yearly stats. Stick to those when it comes to crime figures and you see the honest picture.

I swear some big data junkie is going to start to present the shootings in Chicago on an hour again hour basis. See! From 9 AM on April 2 2014 two were shot but at 9 AM on April 2 2018 no one was shot! Those April 2 2018 shootings only happened at 11 AM but looking back at 11 AM on April 2 2014 only 1 person was shot! PROGRESS! The hourly decrease at 9 AM is shown!

People can be info junkies as much as any other addiction. Facts matter and data trends count but don't seek real time updates on every fucking stat or you will go mad and also make silly conclusions.

No way Wheeize and Fat Heads lazy son get promoted without Fat Head at the helm, so he is taking credit while he can. It is the weather stupid not anything you have done. Cold winter and a decent summer with lots of rain in summer that kept the predators in doors.

After reading an account of the shooting yesterday morning, I wondered who makes up the invitation list for these parties where people gather, socialize, take recreational substances and wait, and then around 2:30 pull out their guns and start shooting each other. Oh yeah, another instance resulting from "white privilege".

That's their mistake. The higher you go doesn't mean
the brighter you are. This ain't the stock market. We don't
really need these numbers. Never needed them in the 60s
and 70s. More information is not better. It's for internal use.
They are so crooked they throw around these human butchery
numbers, but the management matrix (and compensation) is
strictly opaque. These are not good people. They have no
real business or management experience. They actually
disgrace the department with every public appearance.

You're right about the year end stuff. Back when people had
more common sense and money was scarce, you didn't have
the employees to compile and release this dog and pony show
monthly production. Numbers are after-the-fact. They serve
nobody but the self-servers who are in positions they created
for themselves or positions that were created for them. That,
you don't know about. But numbers? Numbers are cheap.
And don't tell me it "costs" nothing and they are reading from a
computer print out. This is a self-serving, calculating, "justify my
job" machine." The mere fact that manpower is devoted to this
is in itself an atrocity.

It boils down to face time.
We really have no control over the stats, but we're here for you.
We're working hard, fighting an uphill battle. We're not perfect
but we're working for you. So keep us on the payroll and let us
monitor things for you. You just keep working your job and paying
taxes. We'll take care of everything.

OK mainly because I'm lazy [retired don't do anything anymore!] but do you compare yearly holidays to one another? Not just the months. How the Labor Day compares to years past.

Based on HeyJackass these numbers are relatively normal when you factor in the 15/16/17 spike.

Don’t help the enemy, SCC.

We love watching their failures bite them in their collective ass. They’re almost impossible to shame, but it still makes for good comedy, IMHO. Let their incompetence shine regularly for all to see!!

Come on...… The August#'s leading into Sept. were just fashionably late. They all even out at the end of the year.

How many CPD coppers got to take in a Cubs game or family gathering on Sunday? The mayor was taking in a game at Wrigley Field. Something to think about on “Accountability Monday’s (Tuesday)”

Doesn’t work that way. He has done favors or promoted many so even if he leaves they will be there to promote the kid. That’s the way it works

CPS depends on First Day Attendance for one of their many yearly gubmint subsidy subscriptions.
The loss will be fudged I’m sure.

Set the WayBack Machine to 07Jul 18 (Sheng Xiao, Year of the Dog).
The illegally shutting dow of the Interstate US-94 Dan Ryan Expwy, locked arm in arm, Jugghaid, JJsr, Phflaker.
prompted the pandering pathetic Rahm said “if it saves one life it will be worth it.”
Blah-blah-blah.
Back to the present day Right Man for the Right Time™️ Is still unable to make critical decisions, now taking orders now from an even more diminutive bull toad. Yesterday the City Hall sent out the manufactured stats to the media outlets and they doing their best to not offend Larry LightLoafer. Best August numbers since 2011! I think that’s what they said.
For the record, I checked.
2011 tallied 431 overall Murders.
As of today we’re at 348, that’s an average of 43 per month, which will have Sanctuary City tally another +500 overall Murders in 2019.
Mmm-mm-mmm.

Hands off pension straggling abominable DrRevJugghaid SpecialEd PhD certainly made a mockery of law and order.
To date in his little over 3 yr stint, has him at appx. 2334 overall murders. (4/2016-8/2019)
Combined, Gmac and JFed tallied appx 2725 in appx. 8 yrs. (2/2008-12/2015)
(source:CPD annual reports)

No Confidence vote now.
Boot the Grootwrinkle too.

Was it gang related ?

And just to think, this past Jan. 30th, Rahm was sending
warming buses into the neighborhoods for the homeless
in the polar vortex. Flip ahead 5 months and shootings
won't be the top headline. It's not just a news cycle, it's
a cycle of life.

Go get your fuck'n activity for VRI. Back in the old days we didn't have VRI. When we saw curfew kids, we drove the curfew kids home, and if we saw kids late for school walking to school, we drove them to school. When we saw gang bangers on the corner, we told them once, find a home,and they all scrammed. We didn't fuck around. Now that was officer friendly!

All this means is there will be one less application to each of the 8 Ivy League universities a few years from now. The good news is other CPS honor students will have one less rival blocking their acceptance.
