Cancelled Days Off

So we get home at zero-dark-thirty and finally get a message, issued at 2330 hours last night, that Days Off are cancelled and twelve-hour shifts are in effect.

So the "no OT" thing is over finally?

And a special salute (single finger) to the media who didn't once breeak into active programming yesterday afternoon while downtown burned and hundreds of rioters arrived via bus from Indiana.

If you aren't wired in to social media, and we mean a bunch of it, you missed the biggest disaster to befall Chicago since the first Bulls riot. Complete mayhem, unpreparedness on display. The broken glass and destroyed storefronts, not to mention who knows how many disabled and burned squad cars towed away....and the media "missed" at least 95% of it.

Make no mistake, the media is complicit in what is obviously a pre-planned event.

Anybody know the Mayor’s address? If so, perhaps the peaceful protesters should go there. The Police should stand back and let them vent at her house. Please, ANTIFA, go visit the Mayor.

WGN has 2 reporters Ben Bradley and Erik Runge on the ground in Minneapolis but didn’t have a single reporter or camera crew in Chicago. The only footage was from their chopper and a reporter at home! Due to covid19. Joe Donlon was reporting from the street via his cell phone. Guess Groot didn’t want any video of the mayhem. By 9:07am they were doing weather reports and the latest NASCAR news

Old retired guy here. I weep for my once proud department. I weep for all the troops that have to endure such abuse, I sit here in amazement that you have no leadership, no one in control, no one to follow or direct. I weep for my once great city, never in my life did I believe I would see Michigan Ave or state street looted. I remember during one nonsensical time 1967 to 2002, when a window was broken on Michigan Ave during some grievance march and the word came out this will not happen again. Each and everyone of you stay safe, you have no mayor, no superintendent, no bosses. I did listen to a scanner last night, When I hear the first deputy reporting a garbage can on fire I know it’s failed. Tells me he doesn’t know what he’s doing but had to get on the air. This goes for numerous other bosses. If they were doing their job all the cans would have be picked up early Saturday. I could go on and on, such as once you have to utilize incident control teams it means you haven’t planned properly and it’s a last ditch effort. All I can say at this point is RIP. CPD, City of Chicago. Stay safe be careful. Maybe the downtown and Michigan Ave. money people can get the imbecile mayors attention, when they pull out of the city and go elsewhere.

Lari’s media blackout was damn good.

Local news didn’t start coverage until after at least 19:30, and then showing only areas with quiet crowds. All the time CW6 blaring away with burning cars, 10-1s, smashing of windows, and looting.

Now mayor ego is saying she will not ask the Hut for the National Guard.
She wants to prove she is in charge and has everything under control ( Like Kevin Bacon in Animal House - Remain Calm)

https://barfblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/remain.calm_.animal.house_.jpg

Officers, don’t over do it, Lari will use you as a pawn, then turn around after the dust has settled and throw you under several busses to prove she is the reform mayor.

I like how the mayor said the “protestors” were acting “reckless.” They’re not protestors you ugly dwarf. They’re rioters acting violently, and they don’t give a damn about George Floyd. They are using his death and memory as an excuse to act like the savages they truly are.

This whole shit show is on you. You emboldened the criminal element by always advocating for their rights. You constantly demonize police and show more regard for taking more from us than you give. In fact, you’ve done nothing for us since you became mayor with your 18% vote.

No OT, right? Can’t allow the people who defend this city make more money, have a decent contract, or live outside the shit can.

I was watching the Skycam from Channel 7 online showing the complete mayhem. I was also trying to find anything on local television about what was commencing, and I couldn't believe they didn't stop regular programming to show downtown under siege. I had to wait for the regular news! They obviously wanted to keep everyone in the dark for as long as possible.

Maybe now Chicago P.

No, BLM aren't the Black Panthers,yet, but when did the Panthers ever stage a civil disturbance on this scale?

I recently retired, I worked through a few riots and a lot of protests in my career. In this case there may have been agitators paid and brought in by enemies of our country, but the other folks involved simply lack the morals not to steal or harm for their own benefit, and only do not do so normally because of the fear of the consequences. Riots occur when the fear of the consequences disappear. They are quelled when sufficient force is applied to make it not worth the risk of the consequences for the participants. We, as a city, used to know and understand this. Less harm to our city and its citizens will occur if this necessary force is applied earlier in time. I hope that the Mayor sees this as I would like to encourage her to untie the hands of law enforcement in Chicago as both her reelection campaign and the city will be better off should she do so with forcefulness. If she tries to appease the protesters in any way, it will not work. Tolerance of intolerant people will not work.

No worries. If Lock Down Larry and Dallas Brown don't care enough to take preventative steps to protect the citizens and their property why should anyone else care. Over time was a big deal to Larry and Brown so they made another wrong call again. Brown was selling the bogus CAPS program and did not prepare regarding police operations. This after almost five nights of destruction in major cities across the country. Larry has demonstrated again she is not qualified to be mayor of a large city. Brown is just a minor league player that no one respects or pays any attention to his ramblings. He gets and deserves lip service.

The lessons learned are to many for the blog. But one thing is clear the use of common sense and prudent response to riot situations is key to individual survival. Do the basics, protect one another and let the Fire Dept do their job. This is all on Larry and Brown.

Not LE but read blog almost daily. Born in Chicago early 60”s, raised in the suburbs so I’m familiar with the politics. I cant fathom the levels of frustration all officers feel as they try to effectively do their jobs in the midst of an administration who is blatantly anti-police. The mayor is a naive tantrum prone child, brought up and coddled by an affirmative “social justice” system built by Democrats and progressives in the last 50+ years. She is a small man who tried to put her Big Boy pants on (as evidenced in earlier press conferences) and couldn’t keep them from falling down; she’s not even a good politician. Like all boneheaded progressive liberals she ignores human nature and believes in a utopian socialist reasonableness that will never happen until you program people like robots or condition them early in life (via, schools and government handouts). Chicago is failing faster than ever before under this regime’s lack of leadership and its lackey structure. Sorry for the rant... my main point of commenting is to heartily thank the thousands of LE on the front lines dealing with all the shit storms on a daily basis while navigating an adversarial public and politicians. Stay safe and God bless you all!

Too be fair, the protesters are much more violent and organized than in the past.

That being said this could have been controlled much better. Especially the first day.

Yesterday the plan should have been easy. RDO cancelled for Lakefront/summer bike teams (easily 100 officers)

Saturation, Gang,tact teams all OCD cancelled (approximately 2,000 officers) in BDU.

District along with detectives incident teams on standby at academy from 2nd, 3rd,1st watch approximately another 800-1,000 officers.

State police, County, ILEAS call out.

Bike teams along with foot officers and Saturation walk with "protest."

Gang, tact, OCD mobile with paralleling protest, blocking streets.

First indication of violence corral protest.

Say what you will about McNaughton, Ryan, but this never happened under them. They always knew where their units were and who they had at the ready.

When Trump won and they protested we had Trump tower with 50 or so officers and 5 horses. We held the line despite the lack of support. Within 3 hours as the crowd grew, so did our support. Teams from all over, every VRI car, summer mobile. They started busing in entire 1st watches. Eventually the ratio from police to people was probably 2-3 people for every officer. They just left after they saw how we grew.

OT but maybe not for long. Lots of social media threats against police officers homes and families, Garfield Ridge mentioned specifically as a neighborhood where lots of cops live.

So, when is this dummy membership finally going to unite and go after residency? Its for your families' sakes at this point.

Who at work last night wasn't worried sick about the safety of their families at home?

A very special salute to the media who covered up the fact that the first day (when we knew things were gonna hit the fan) did not mandate OT and left the city a 1000 officers on the street. Lets not forget,they also covered up on much of the violence, leaving some workers walking right into a hellstorm on their way to or from work in the middle of a riot.

And a super special salute to SOME of the Northwestern staff who still show their hatred of law enforcement.

Not gonna try to be too contrarian but most channels had a live feed from the helicopters for several hours til they had to land to refuel. Unfortunately the refueling happened right in the middle of most of the nonsense kicking off on state street,

Unrelated, anybody else hear the jackass interrupting OEMC and command with quips about the mayor, governor, and on-scene command? Whoever he was, he cut out multiple 10-1s, calls for redeployment, and should be ashamed of himself.

The media isn't covering the destruction they inspired.

Take pics of all the wreckage and start circulating it. Email it, because twotter and other social media is deleting it. Search engines aren't indexing it. As far as people outside the WAR ZONES know, the riots don't exist.

The story now is "mostly peaceful protests" with any violence (if mentioned at all) attributed to unnamed young white males. The latter is correct that Antifa & DSA are absolutely starting things and most of them are "young white males" but plenty of othere in a HIGHLY organized structure. This is their perfect opportunity to set the stage for easily encouraged looters of all stripes.

Watch Antifa paying off protesters:

Samantha Shader was first charged with attempted murder of four NYPD officers, but from a NY Post article on the 31st, "The woman who allegedly threw a lit Molotov cocktail into an NYPD car full of cops early Saturday has been slapped with a federal charge of damaging a police vehicle — a far cry from the attempted murder charges sought by the NYPD".

Same applies here. So let them burn and loot, anyone arrested or hurting officers will be out quickly and charged with next to nothing anyway. Everyone did a great job but look how many hurt and again nothing will happen to the scumbags responsible. So you just can't win no matter what in the Kingdom of Le Groot in the State of Ill-inois. I have to wonder if any of this will wake up voters around the country. I hope it does.

Good point SCC. I couldn't get any news from the local channels. They were still referring to the mayhem as "protests". At 7am I biked throughout downtown and River North and saw one, one WLS news truck filming the damage at a CVS. Not sure what they think they're hiding. This is all over social media and even my liberal 80-year old aunt is watching what really happened on Facebook Live and SnapChat. It's finally getting around that people were gunned down in the street blocks away from City Hall last night.

These f***ers were carrying accelerants. They burned out Central Camera - 428 S. Wabash? - last night. Est. 1880, last survivor of Camera Row on Wabash. Used to get photo stuff there when I was in high school 1960s.

Is it POSSIBLE that the reason some of these people get killed or injured by the police is because they are constantly committing crimes, in and out of the system, and therefore have more involvement with law-enforcement?

The media didn't miss anything. Their mission isn't to support you, but to support the left.

These riots are politically-driven, so as to tell the low-information voters that their anger shouldn't be directed towards who's been holding them hostage (Pritzker & Lightfoot), but towards President Trump.

I don't watch the "news," so please correct me if I'm wrong, but I was told that the "unbiased" media is only showing the rioters from the waist down so as to protect their demographics.

Stop for a moment and take breath. Politicians (like Fat Ass Gov, Lock Down Larry & Dallas Brown), the frightened China Flu citizens have been worried about bull shit flu numbers and washing hands and social distancing all the while the radical left was busily planning and plotting to capitalize on the next national crisis to exploit. Thank you MPD. underestimated the training and capability of left-wing extremists, who are united in purpose. Just as we come out of China Flu lockdown this shit happens.

Pay attention folks. Radical Left groups and anarchists (like Antifa) are able to get active in such a short time and mobilize small armies of rioters, looters and arsonists is remarkable. Everything they now is plan, organized and is well executed via social media. well.

All their actions have a purpose. They have a chain of command, that executes after a significant event (read MPD incident). They have mobilized, infiltrated and exploited real and peaceful protesting and turned it into a mob. First peaceful, then taken over by rock throwers, overwhelm law enforcement, window breaking and the community looting. Meanwhile radicals start the fires to destroy local business and commercial economies, leading into a destabilized city that is already depressed from the pandemic. They have been training and planning and are well financed to strike effectively on very short notice. They have already won this battle. Groot and Brown can only blame everyone but themselves. In the meantime, start rethinking how we deal with the next riot incident for it will come soon enough.

Anyone thinking about doing any real pro active police work in today's environment will stand alone should it go south. Larry, Brown and the community are not supporting your pro active police work. Easier said than done. Sometimes shit happens in front of you and you gotta do what you gotta do. Stay safe, watch your 6 and protect your partner. God will sort the rest.

I gave her a fair chance and voted for her in round two. Never again! Trump has zero chance of winning Illinois and she knows it. She rallied the base to protest and they tore apart the city.
