Get Off My Beaches!

  • Four days into a statewide stay-at-home order, Mayor Lori Lightfoot on Wednesday scolded restless Chicagoans who have taken advantage of spring weather and packed local parks, trails and the city’s lakefront despite growing numbers of people infected by the coronavirus disease.

    Standing alongside interim police Superintendent Charlie Beck and public health Commissioner Dr. Allison Arwady, the mayor threatened to “shut down our parks and the entire lakefront” if residents continue to flout Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s stay-at-home order aimed at getting people to practice social distancing. Lightfoot and Beck also warned residents that those who don’t listen could be ticketed $500 for a first offense while repeat offenders could be arrested.
You cannot protect people from being stupid. You'd be idiots to try. And the governor did tell people they could go out to parks, walk dogs, etc., just don't gather in large groups. People are social animals and they are getting bored a few days into a "pandemic" that is statistics show is rapidly decreasing in lethality, despite what the media is hyping.

And after years of taking away the tools we could have used to encourage people to go home, now we're supposed to be the heavies?
  • “If there are people out there, and unfortunately there are, who are determined to do whatever they want despite orders. These are not recommendations. This isn’t guidance. This is an order that’s enforced by law,” a visibly frustrated Lightfoot said at an afternoon news conference. “We’re going to give you an admonition and if you don’t turn right away and head home then you’re going to get a citation. And if worse, yeah, we will take you into custody. I hope that it doesn’t come to that. I hope I don’t have to shut down the lakefront, and shut down all the parks, but I will if we cannot get compliance.”

    [...]

    Underscoring Lightfoot’s urgency, Beck said the city is entering a new phase in enforcing the governor’s and mayor’s orders.

    “Whenever a new order, new law, new direction is put in place there’s three phases. There’s the educational phase, there’s the warning phase, and then there’s the enforcement phase,” Beck said. “The educational phase of these public health orders is over.”

    Earlier in the day, Beck said, he spoke with top cops and said people who don’t heed warnings from police not to congregate and stay at home then they will be ticketed.
And when they refuse to sign for the ticket? Arrest and transport to a facility most likely contaminated by Groot's refusal to secure according to Best Practices. We can hear the ACLU salivating from all the way over here over First, Fourth and Eighth Amendment grounds. Hopefully no one gets shot over an Ordinance Violation.

These are also exactly the people you don't want turning against the police and the political order...if you expect to maintain order and elected office. Why pick this fight unless she wants to further turn the populace against the CPD?

Anyone who writes a ticket (or worse) should have their head examined. There in no F$&KING WAY I’m writing anyone a ticket for being out. Let the supervisor write it, the d/c, the Supt., or let the angry clown write it herself. Don’t do it, guys. You’re the one that will get jammed up and Mr. Clownpants will not back you up on it.

Groot's rollout of this shit has involved a lot of misinformation and double-talk. First it was the parking tickets still getting written. Now we aren't allowed to exercise on the Lakefront.

Now I know some dumbasses are breaking the rules and exercising with team sports. But if someone is simply running or bicycling down the trail, fucking leave them alone, Groot.

we're sadly at the point where the courts are left out of any "due process."

the whole point of any charge is your right to a fair hearing. but nowadays just getting soaked for a fine or carted off in handcuffs is all anyone thinks is justice (or injustice).

If the people at public spaces aren't doing anything but upsetting the democrats' attack on the economy, I'm not issuing any ANOV, much less arresting anybody just for being outside.

Maybe I’m just senile but, if I remember my civics teacher correctly, he said, “absent a formal declaration of martial law, ANY order abridging civil rights is unconstitutional on its face and enforcement of such an order makes both the issuer and the enforcer civilly and criminally liable.”

Please tread lightly, boys and girls.
Nothing would please me more than seeing Groot and the Hutt in Blago’s old cell but I sure as hell don’t want you in the one next door.

Groot will be sporting a large Stetson hat and a cowboy looking pantsuit for the next television roundup. Her puppet, Charlie Beck McCarthy, is mighty scary too, and no wires at all.

I'm guessing Lori Lightweight was absent the day they covered law in law school, because she doesn't seem to understand the US Constitution very much. Fredo Pritzker's order has no law backing it up and would fold like a cheap suit if anyone wanted to take it to court. Good luck ticketing anyone, let alone arresting them.

I hope I am wrong, but this story is so screwed up it has credibility. It seems that the officers from 006, who tested Positive, worked days, and their vehicle was put back into service without disinfecting it. Then half-way through the next tour, when someone in authority realized the error; the vehicle was downed and the officer who was driving the vehicle, was told to self quarantine. The reluctance of CPD to quarantine equipment and personnel, if need be entire Watches or Units, is going to come back to haunt us all. Detroit had five officers from one Unit test Positive, and they quarantined the entire Unit of 158 officers. Now consider, Detroit only has 2,200 officers, so in essence they downed close to 7% of their Department. They also have one dead Captain and one dead patrol officer from the virus. The leadership of CPD is currently the Mayor, and she detests the Police. Having recruits scrub vehicles is not enough. The virus can live on surfaces for days. Equipment must be cleaned by professionals. I hope it does not take the death(s)of officers, for the City to confront reality. This is not like Seasonal Flu, and it is causing more havoc than 9/11 and the Crash of 2008 combined! Stay Strong and safe! Baby "G"

If they don’t sign the ticket, write “refused” on it same as you would with a traffic ticket when it’s required. You never arrested someone for not signing a traffic ticket, did you? You just turn it in. They can be all big balls and show the world and not go to court. Good. Then their license will be suspended. Don’t sign the ordinance, automatic finding in favor of the city.

What they need to do is make non-payment tied to city services. You don’t pay your tickets, your city services get cut off. But Chicago will never do that because people have “rights.” Like the right to not pay your bills but go buy Air Jordans instead. You wouldn’t want to step on the democratic voting base’s “rights.”

I've been optimistic about Chicago's future until now. This might be the final nail in Chicago's coffin.

Companies will soon realize they can function well with full time remote work forces and that they don't need expensive downtown real estate.

Workers will realize they can live anywhere and still be productive.

Even universities will learn to be effective and enjoyable with remote collaboration and Chicago's world class healthcare will become accessible from anywhere with telehealth.


It'll be nice to have a big city salary and rural anywhere but Illinois expenses.

I'd rather visit Michigan or even Indiana beaches in the summer anyway.

That bullshit $500 fine you just issued them? Well, the City is probably gonna pay them at least $10,000 because your dumb ass violated their 1st Amendment right to peacefully gather. I hope none of it comes out of your pocket thru punitive damages.

You put your name on the line of that ticket, which is an ARREST. You just put your paycheck, your house, your savings, your pension, your kids college fund... on that line.

You are the ACLU's wet dream! Because you're not smart enough.

Let us know when you're in Federal Court just exactly where JB, Groot and Beck are. Look around that room when you're disclosing your assets and tell us where those people are!

If you are going pull the new COVID-19 disposal event number or stop people on the street without RS/PC, do you think Lightfoot or JB is going to have your back? Remember that unless Martial Law is declared people have Constitutional Rights. Just because Lightfoot and JB stay at home it’s not law. We already have had interactions with attorneys in my District about Constitutional violations i.e. lawsuit coming.

The only way to enforce such an order is to declare martial law, which will never happen. A city police agency such as ours where decisions are made according to which way the political winds flow will undoubtedly fail and the little guy will get the hatchet, in the name of accountability. Call in the guards and build a vanecko llc chicken coop and if you’re caught out, quarantined to the chicken coop with all the other sick people until coronavirus is over. Sounds like a socialist dictatorship, oh wait....that’s exactly what the hutt and groot sound like every time they speak. They want all the ideals of a Marxism but haven’t read enough history books to see how it’s done, or how it ends. Those who forget (or in CPS fashion, rewrite) their history are doomed to repeat it.

You just turn it in. They can be all big balls and show the world and not go to court. Good. Then their license will be suspended. Don’t sign the ordinance, automatic finding in favor of the city.

What they need to do is make non-payment tied to city services. You don’t pay your tickets, your city services get cut off. But Chicago will never do that because people have “rights.” Like the right to not pay your bills but go buy Air Jordans instead. You wouldn’t want to step on the democratic voting base’s “rights.”

I remember reading that some of the people in the crowd at the time of the death of Jesus said..."Well if he had just followed the law"...You gotta be fucking kidding me that ANY CHICAGO POLICEMAN would write a citizen a ticket for being out on the lake front on a beautiful day. In these times of THESE politicians?

Let me guess...you are JUST FOLLOWING ORDERS? Use your judgement. The letter of the law? The spirit of the law?

Ms. Lightfoot, for the last 10 years you and the rest of the progressives have told people to defy the police and not to follow lawful orders unless fully explained (which is not easy when dealing with crowds), now you want us to fight with these entitled people and arrest them. What would Saint Laquan say about that?

The enforcement action started at north avenue beach. Of course no enforcement will occur in the ghetto areas as they are special and are protected by toad faced Lori and Cabrini Kim. Laws and taxes and following laws are for white people. Lori will never enforce congregating by the dope boys and bangers. The ghetto skate park in the south loop at Roosevelt and Michigan is filled with bangers and repeated calls to Sophia king, friend of Cabrini Kim, Mike Kelly of the Park district and the first district have gone unanswered. These aholes will get infected then move into taxpayer financed hotels with room service. Lori has to go. She is a racist, cop hating pos.

If a soft-as-puppy-shit supervisor wants to give you an order, make sure you do in fact get that order prior to the arrest and that the verbal order is loud and clear. There's no room for misunderstanding. Also, get it on body cam. Be sure to prominently display the supervisor's name in all reports and properly document how all observations of the probably cause for arrest were made by the supervisor.

I like how the enforced closure happened on the near north side. It's a bunch of compliant white people there. Easy to do, no one is going to make a scene, or throw shit at the cops. This isn't a sports championship after all.

Please try to repeat the closure action on the south side. CPD will be accused of over-policing, some emboldened kids will use the moment to throw rocks at the cops, and they'll cause damage as they flee through the streets lining the lake.

What goes on in Groot's head? When she was running for office, CPD was bad and needed reform on top of reform. Now (Holy Shit!) there is a crisis and we need people to do as they are told to limit the body count. So the mayor goes to the toy cabinet to get CPD's balls out for a couple of weeks?

This pandemic is going to burn right through this God damned city. It's going to kill a lot of the good older folks who anchor our neighborhoods. The shithead to good person ratio will get even worse and control will be lost.

I hope I am wrong, but this story is so screwed up it has credibility. It seems that the officers from 006, who tested Positive, worked days, and their vehicle was put back into service without disinfecting it. Then half-way through the next tour, when someone in authority realized the error; the vehicle was downed and the officer who was driving the vehicle, was told to self quarantine. The reluctance of CPD to quarantine equipment and personnel, if need be entire Watches or Units, is going to come back to haunt us all. Detroit had five officers from one Unit test Positive, and they quarantined the entire Unit of 158 officers. Now consider, Detroit only has 2,200 officers, so in essence they downed close to 7% of their Department. They also have one dead Captain and one dead patrol officer from the virus. The leadership of CPD is currently the Mayor, and she detests the Police. Having recruits scrub vehicles is not enough. The virus can live on surfaces for days. Equipment must be cleaned by professionals. I hope it does not take the death(s)of officers, for the City to confront reality. This is not like Seasonal Flu, and it is causing more havoc than 9/11 and the Crash of 2008 combined! Stay Strong and safe! Baby "G"

USE CAUTION BE SMART. Yeah sure Lightfoot. We have a mayor and corrupt politicians who loathe their police department and operate against them on a daily basis. The same leaders that purposely defund officers retirement and go without a contract for three years. A city and court system the doesn’t deter criminal behavior by punishment. A mayor who endorsed Kim Foxx? So Lightfoot wants the police to ticket and possibly arrest people enjoying the outdoors in fresh clean air? But she shelters and protects Illegal immigrants that are committing crimes and in gangs, while being here illegally? Does that make sense??? She allows the busses and trains to still be packed with germs and stale air, but people can’t be outside together in fresh air? Lawyers will love that one. What she may eventually ask the police department to do is very very questionable constitutionally. Be very careful. Remember history. This will be challenged by the biggest and best law firms from all over America. They will be chopping it to bit to fill their pockets. Every single incident and action you take will be judged separately. What if you have to use force? And after all the training you went through? De-escalation etc.? Whenever things turn very bad COPA , lawyers etc. always go back to the initial reason for the encounter. How do you think it looks when the people were just enjoying the lakefront or parks and were beat up by the evil police? When they refuse to leave and not sign the ticket, then what? People will bait the police into this situation, guaranteed. Make sure you have a supervisor on scene before you do anything. Don’t let them hide and avoid. They need to go down with you. And when this is over, where will Lightfoot and JB be two-three years from now? Definitely not defending you. They will say we didn’t tell them to do what they did. Be safe officers!

They are not going to give tickets for going outside or for gathering. They will ticket for entering a closed park which the city can do. Why is this so hard to understand?

There is no City ordinance, nor section in the Illinois or US Constitution. Her "order" is not enacted law. Martial law has not been declared. Cite, fine or arrest one for the non existent "law" of walking outside and violate the Bill of Rights. I'd like an early retirement, think I'll go for a walk

Standing alongside interim police Superintendent Charlie Beck and public health Commissioner Dr. Allison Arwady, the mayor threatened to “shut down our parks and the entire lakefront” if residents continue to flout Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s stay-at-home order aimed at getting people to practice social distancing. Lightfoot and Beck also warned residents that those who don’t listen could be ticketed $500 for a first offense while repeat offenders could be arrested.

For a while there I thought I was watching a remake of the old comedy sitcom Webster...

same politicians that call you racist for writing people a ticket for parking in a bus stop , blocking a crosswalk , no city sticker
LL didn't want police to write tickets when her voters smoke pot on someones front porch , sitting in a car law breakers
now people out of work , kids out of school bike riding , playing soccer ,basketball in parks are being told to go home
notice these were all nice kids , adults , respectful of police oder
where are news media covering the gangs , dope boys , dope buyers , selling , hanging in parks drinking , smoking pot , smoking crack , shooting each other
26th street still has legal food vendors , hello that is very unsanitary , no running water , handling cash , peeing in alley
no problem vendors are here illegally , paid street tax to a politician

If they don’t sign the ticket, write “refused” on it same as you would with a traffic ticket when it’s required. You never arrested someone for not signing a traffic ticket, did you? You just turn it in. They can be all big balls and show the world and not go to court. Good. Then their license will be suspended. Don’t sign the ordinance, automatic finding in favor of the city.

What they need to do is make non-payment tied to city services. You don’t pay your tickets, your city services get cut off. But Chicago will never do that because people have “rights.” Like the right to not pay your bills but go buy Air Jordans instead. You wouldn’t want to step on the democratic voting base’s “rights.”

Okay...so the Mayor of Chicago just ordered the Park District Closed.
As of Thursday, anyone seen on Park district Property can legally be charged with 8-4-050 Trespassing:
(a) Enters the property, or any part thereof, of another when, immediately prior to such entry, he receives notice, either oral or written, from the owner or occupant that such entry is forbidden; or
(b) Remains upon the property, or any part thereof, of another after receiving notice, either oral or written, from the owner or occupant to depart; or
(c) Enters upon property open to the public, or any part thereof, and remains thereon with a malicious and mischievous intent after receiving notice, either oral or written, from the owner or occupant to depart; (please note word: Mischievous)
City charge is a $500 ticket.

For all the Hard Chargers in all districts.

If you write even ONE of 8-4-050(a), you better nail every single individual in the Park you are trolling in. I don't care if its a park in 002 or 019 or 024.

1 or NONE.

As others have said, the governor hasn’t declared martial law, so any city ordinance or mayor’s order restricting peoples’ right to gather in groups is unconstitutional. She might try the Public Health laws, which would allow her to close businesses where people gather, but still won’t allow her to ban people from leaving their houses and congregating in parks, on beaches or streets. She could quarantine individuals, houses or even entire neighborhoods, but then those people wouldn’t be able to go to the grocery store.

Lightbrain needs to either go “all in” or back the heck off. And PLEASE, fellow police officers, DON’T get pressured into trying to enforce an illegal mayoral order. The city WILL NOT have your back when you end up being sued for violating someone’s civil rights.

I really hope you aren't a cop. A ticket is NOT an arrest. By definition an arrest is when you are taken into custody and booked for an offense. A citation does not involve booking a person or taking them into custody. Stop being an alarmist. I do however agree with you that I will not issue a citation unless directly ordered and then I will have the supervisor who ordered it to sign the citation.

Please tell me you're joking.
Please!

If you think that it's a "Lawfull order" in any way, you kinda failed the whole "U.S. Constitution" part.

People have a RIGHT to peacefully gather, say what they want, worship whatever deity they choose, petition the Government and unfortunately print whatever "fake media", sensationalist and slanted journalism in this country.

(I'll give you a hint- Re-read Amendment number one a few times)

Backing that up is this little thing called "The right to bear arms"
(See Amendment number two)

There's a few other ones on that rather important list as well. You may want to peruse #4 a little as well as #8.


So you're giving them a ticket (in which you're detaining that person), for what, exactly?
Disorderly Conduct? Just who's "Peace" is being "Breached"?
Yours?

All for who? A Governor and Mayor that are SJW types...
You want to violate peoples rights for them?

You may want to brush up on your reading.
