Farcically Ridiculous
- Let’s specify up front Brown’s goal to reduce Chicago’s homicide rate to under 300 is not only unrealistic, but farcically ridiculous. Moreover, it is a goal in which Chicago’s 63rd Superintendent of Police announced with cosmic optimism but without anything closely resembling a strategy to service the ambitious goal. The fact Brown did not offer a specific plan to reduce Chicago’s homicide rate is not too terribly surprising and should provoke Mayor Lightfoot to experience buyer’s remorse for Brown’s hire.
To begin his tenure, Brown was forced to issue an apology to several North and Northwest Side aldermen for the Department employing a new tactic known as “the surge.” A maneuver with little compelling logic, under the “surge,” the Department targets high-crime neighborhoods with an excess of police vehicles. A remarkably short-sighted and parochial strategy to address the chronic unrest which grips the South and West Sides of the city, the defining feature of the “surge” is not a permanent increase to manpower or an innovative anti-crime strategy to flush out crime, but rather a fleeting moment in which the cacophony of roaring engines, flashing lights, and sirens symbolize a police presence.
A Potempkin-esque show, although Mayor Lightfoot stated the “surge” had produced some “promising results,” Superintendent Brown’s new tactic drew the wrath of aldermen who represent North and Northwest Side wards which were stripped of police protection to carry out the “surge” in the Harrison, Gresham, Englewood, Austin, and Deering Districts. Brown apologized for his failure to inform aldermen their wards would temporarily face reductions in manpower to conduct the “surge” and pledged to “communicate” police plans more effectively. A meaningless gesture, Brown’s “surge” dovetailed with his vow to develop a replacement for “merit” promotions and his resolutely dodging questions over civilian oversight of the Department during his virtual confirmation hearing in front of the City Council’s Public Safety Committee.
The Contrarian has also designated Brown "Superintendent Moon Shot" in reference to his unrealistic - or "farcically ridiculous" - goal of 300 murders, while Chicago races to hit 200 before 01 June. We haven't settled on a nickname yet, seeing as he's only been here two weeks and hasn't really had a good opportunity to earn a sobriquet. We were toying with the idea of Moonraker but we're still undecided.

Someone posted he should be called Ruseal. A combination of the singers Rupaul (drag queen) and Seal. That one is my favorite so far.
How about "Super(intendent) pipe dream?"
Lightfoot sure dropped the ball with this guy. He’s not helping morale at all and is more concerned with being able to wear the uniform than coming up the an idea to stop the violence(impossible). The best thing Lightfoot can do now to energize the troops is fix the pension and give them a contract. No one has ever tried this but it would do wonders. It’s not like the police are asking for anything they weren’t guaranteed(pension) or overdue for(contract expired 3 years).
I did like someone’s earlier suggestion of “Moondoggie”.
Urkel isn’t bad.
Rog from “What’s Happening?” Is fitting.
Brown Stain? Too gross.
Texas Two Step? He’ll be dancing in front of the City Council.
Singer Seal? There is a resemblance.
UPS? What can Brown do for you?
Walker Texas Ranger? He’s no Chuck Norris.
Rhyme-wise for BROWN:

Out of town Brown

Supt. All sizzle and no steak
“Downtown Brown”, all style and no substance.

No, they're all Liberal Democrats from Chicago

Cowtown BROWN
I think the article is a little off as far as the facts.No one instructed the MoonDawg to apologize and what he actually apologized for was not giving the North and Northwest side Alderman fair warning that they were losing police from their areas.He did not apologize for the surge and the removal,he apologized for not telling them ahead of time.In fact the very next night he yanked Patrol Units from the very same Districts and continues to do so.Its like sucker punching someone and then telling them that you are going to sucker punch them tomorrow night.The problem is that the Alderman did nothing and accepted the next sucker punch after being warned it was coming.If I presented the same scenario to anyone of us,I dare to say that we would be prepared for the 2nd punch and position ourselves to defend and attack it.
May I suggest "Moon Bat".
The only acceptable number of homicides any police officer should find acceptable is ZERO. 300 dead humans is nothing to strive for. Is a zero homicides attainable? Probably not. A superintendent of the Chicago Police Department should only boast about the day we need to be
prepared to investigate 300 homicides.

Dead ringer.
"Moon Shot" it is....thanks CC
Please let me ask why isn't there a surge in getting rid of this ignorant elected government garbage. We the people, This shit is supposed to work for us.
In 005 the plan is to go without a tac Sgt to cover the team and only 1 beat Sgt on the street to cover 10-15 beat cars plus tac. Oh and to detail some cars out to drive around with their lights activated in different districts while people get shot on their beat. We will be under 300 in no time!
SCC: Why does the surge overuse flashing light bars which 1. Imply that a chase or rapid response to a distress call in progress is underway
2. Confuses motorists 3. Agitates residents 4. Reinforces the misconception that the police are acting like an occupying force.
If the light bars were on a steady burning, low wattage mode it may announce a police presence in a less agitating manner and accomplish the goals that Supt. Kotex is furtively searching for.
Just a plain old patrolman axin
Sheriff John T. Chance Said:
What Brownie the Clownie needs to do is obtain a military mindset if he truly wants to stop the killing because we are at war with unrestrained crime in sh*tcago. He must do a tactical withdrawl because he simply does not have the resources to control the south and west side battle grounds. Pull every cop out of those areas because the forces of the good guys are being fed piecemeal into the maw of the insatiable beast with no chance of producing results. That is ground that simply cannot be held at this time. The front line troops are not being given the tools that they need to defeat the enemies hiding amongst the civilian populace in those areas. Retreat to the areas that can be defended and contain the enemy within their territory. There will be problems as the enemy wildly attacks and destroys his home territory, but those actions are the only things to set the stage for the provision of the tools that are needed to win and eventually defeat the enemies in the commmunerty. What are those tools? The tools needed are getting the evil cabal of groot, kimmie, tommy and toni to do their damn jobs. The communerty will not be ready for liberation until the good people in the war zones band together and demand that the killings stop. The evil cabal must repond to public pressure to put a stop to the incredible violence that they daily tolerate in the communerty. They must seek out, prosecute and jail those who violate the standards of morality and human decency in the war zones. You know it will be time to act when the evil cabal is voted out and the revruns ask for the police to come into the communerty and clean out the the bad actors. Until then watch from the safety of the area outside of the battle zone until there is support to defeat the enemy. Don't waste time, resources or blue lives until there is a chance of winning. There is no chance right now of winning, so until there is just point, laugh, and watch.
I’m guessing the fizzle is gone from Superintendent Brown arrival. Next he will claim he meant 300 murders from when he started, absurd. The illusion is gone that this guy knows what to do. Our department is three times the size of Dallas PD. Flooding the zone or surge as he terms things is a disaster. The community doesn’t want a hostile take over with foreign invaders. The Police should be members of the community and simulate with the community. I only have a few years left, I’ve seen a lot of different strategies in my time and this one is just bad. The communities that are suffering will only suffer more with bad tactics and horrible mismanagement. When this blows up in the cities face and theY blame the Police. Mr. Brown will be riding out of town on a way trip Back to where he came from. Chicago needs great leadership more than ever. We past the breaking point as a city and need to save what’s left. In the end there won’t be nothing left with the lack of real leadership on every level of city, county, and state democratic management is at fault. I pry things will turn around be for there is nothing truly left to fight for or save.............
How about Black Brown?
Someone on SCC already used URKLE, I second it!!!!
Brown is over his head. Surging is nuts. I wanted to give him a fair chance. I was hoping for some new ideas. But he should have not been promoted past sergeant here. I guess there isn’t much crime where he came from. No no ideas - just more BS! We need someone like O. W. Wilson, who comes with ideas and a battle plan. We are so screwed! Nothing but flood the neighborhoods with light shows and loud noise from sirens, engines racing and tires screeching. It truly is a circus.
As long as his moniker isn't downtown. There is only one, God's gift to the department, the late I'm Great "Downtown Ernie Brown".

How about "By the lightfoot of the moon"
That didn’t take long for the smoke and mirror show to end. Now surge and piss of the citizens and crest more bad community interactions. NUTS!
I cant wait to see how Clowntown Brown handles the summer onslaught.Giddy up!
How about Charlie Brown, always missing the mark on the field goal. And Lucy can be light toes holding the football
Brown is a complete failure as a hire from a failing Mayor whom both don't know their ass from a hole in the ground. It's going to be the same old shit with this guy, no new ideas and you can easily tell that this guy is nothing more than a puppet who wont talk until Groot pulls the strings. I don't see this guy lasting too long, looks already like a deer in headlights! Nice pick Groot.
Correction, Brown never apologized. He just told them he should have told them he was going to take their police protection and would continue to do so. Not an apology at all but a big FU for questioning him. Your so screwed and not a thing you can do about it until the revolution takes them down. All those lamp post around city hall will finally become useful.
Nickname King Leonidas?
From the movie 300?
Lol
OT: can someone please let these new kids know that if you go over into overtime, even 15 min, that you put in a slip. No matter what. More than a few times these past few weeks many of the newer kids have been staying late cause of various jobs, shootings, gun arrests, stolen car arrests. Etc. Theyve been getting either kicked out of the district at check off or slightly after. Going well into OT. And told NOT to put in a slip. And they are listening!! No damn way. Theyre being told by some of the white shirts that it wont be approved anyway, and the new kids dont wanna ruffle feathers. I told em, put it in, they deny it, you grieve it. Fop needs to get on this ot ridiculousness. So what if the DC has to approve it. You put the slip in if you go over! We all know common sense, and if you take 4 hours ot on some dumb warrant arrest or something. Still...
This is happening in a variety of districts, white shirts getting ot uptight, like its coming out of their pockets.
“ We haven't settled on a nickname yet, seeing as he's only been here two weeks and hasn't really had a good opportunity to earn a sobriquet. We were toying with the idea of Moonraker but we're still undecided.”
That sounds like an invitation for submissions if I ever heard one.

If you're going to set a goal make it something that can be accomplished. Once the mark of 300 is hit the media will be all over moonbro asking him why he couldn't accomplish his goal. He will then have to own it or make excuses and point the finger at everyone else.
Moondoggie
ah, the brown 300 surge. a blue streak of agility and mobility not found on docile streets. but heard in the distance where the action is.
the brown 300 surge, buy into it.
Keeping citizens couped up, having their favorite stores, food outlets closed, having no income because your employer is closed, making people wear face masks like they’re lepers is just making their anger boil. People need to shoot their guns to relieve this stress and virus fright.
Nickname may not be gender specific, but, how about "Dorothy?" The only one I cam think of that has a plan to "wish upon a star?"
Ru Paul II, is the best name yet. I like RPB2, or Ru Paul Deux or Ru Paul Dud. He has already figured out that it is much better to beg for forgiveness from the aldermen then to ask for permission in regards to "surge deployment". That way he will still do what he and Larry wants him to do. She is all about taking from the north and northwest side to put a surplus of officers on the Southside without hiring, leaving the north and northwest sides of the city strapped for police service even though these two sides pay the most taxes.

Hey give Texas a break he was talking 1/2 year numbers. Thought Chicago was on the same fiscal calender Dallas was year ends in June. All that no cattle talk is making him feel bad and unwelcome. The Texas ego syndrome is vary hard to shake. They like to think that they are bigger and better than the rest of the country. Only thing big about Brown is his big head, takes a 12 gallon hat not your normal 10 gallon. Fry Super but hard to ignore that extra large noggin.
Individual districts do “surge” missions. 2 cars and a sgt drive around a hotspot with there lights on for 15 minutes. That’s it mindless police work that accomplished nothing and takes 2 beat cars away from answering calls. The funny part are people just stope and stare and the dope dealers briefly pause before continuing business as usual.
Looks like that Texas sized ego is getting whittled down to size pretty quickly in the killing fields of Chicago. He sure had nothing to compare it to in Dallas. Maybe because everyone in Texas is allowed to carry a gun things are very different. The criminals in Texas are never sure who will stop their activities unlike Chicago where the criminals know the politicians have unarmed the citizens to make it easy for them.
Fair warning, I carry when I go to Chicago and will react accordingly when accosted. Better to be judged gym 12 than carried by 6.
Brown has been extremely quiet and low key since taking over.
Does the cat have his tongue or is he too busy being a germophobe and having his office cleaned and disinfected every 3 hours?
Just call him "The 300".
OuttaTown Brown is my entry.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
The city, the public and the police dept. is in big trouble. You have a new superintendent who has no business running anything. Up the money and bring back Superintendent Beck!

SCC, please hold off on MOONRAKER. It just ins't that catchy and does not really capture the complete, man behind the curtain ESSENCE of who Brown is destined to soon reveal Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.
Just another par3t of the plan to push the vote by mail BS the Democrats want. Another ploy to get Trump out of offic3. So far everything they have tried has failed and so will this. Fat Man has no idea how much pent up resentment he is causing. He will at election time . Ali his trust fund money won't buy him another term. One and done same for the midget mayor she is one and done.
Call him OTB, short for Outta Town Brown.

You think the Police can stop these assholes from killing each other?
Personally I don't think his shot to the moon comment should be forgotten, so I like Moondoggie, MoonDawg, or Moonbeam. I only mention Moonbeam as he is way off the beam, out of this galaxy. A real Texas sized cartoon. He doesn't really remind me of Urkle too much. But that's a good name too. Perhaps if we wait he will say or do something else stupid that will lead to a perfect name.
Moondoggie has got to be celebrating, only 4 kilt and 21 wounded over the weekend. Wow that surge is really working well. Brilliant plan. Fly me to the moon ♫
Mr. Brown is a wonderful man with an amazing background. He just has a few limitations. The first one being he’s stupid. Once we realize and accept that fact everything else falls into place.
He was hired by who? He takes orders from who? He kisses and crawls up who’s ass? And where does this ass sit? Let me guess. Downtown. Sounds like Downtown Brown says it all.
I believe Dallas was called "cowtown" back in the day. Cowtown Brown has my vote
URKLE!!
murder count over 300 .... "did I do that????"
I still like the “Texas Toon”. He seems like a cartoon character????

With Lightfoot, Foxx, Preckwinkkw, Dart and Evans in charge, O.W. Wilson or clone couldn't lead. ☹️
With regard to SURGE. Do NOT implement a Program that cannot be SUSTAINED for a long period of time. Do NOT implement a Program unless you hand the Manpower to sustain it. With limited and finite resources, CPD must FOCUS on very specific subjects and very specific tightly geographically defined neighborhoods.
moondawg
How about Supaul or Superseal?
Urkle had a full head of hair and wasn’t an ugly dude like our new leader. Seal is his twin but not near the jackass this guy is. Keep working on this
Countdown Brown or Mister 300?
It seems like the mayor wanted someone so clueless she would look smart standing next to him. She succeeded. Although really any one of our local idiots would have served equally well.
Starting very soon when the temperatures climb I predict a Code Brown will be called all over the west and south side and no matter how much the CPD surges 300 bodies will soon be in the rear view mirror. Welcome to Chicago, at least you’ll enjoy the pizza.
Brown will be the Preverbal "punching bag". He demonstrated in lack of leadership, skills, and just plain dumb remarks. He is not in the same league as Charlie Beck. He needs more time in places like Cleveland, KC, Min/St. Paul and brush up on being a Police Executive. It appears he is a slow learner and is currently surrounded incompetent HQ's staff. As he makes no changes to his staff he ensures the status quo rum dumb operations. Doubtful he will provide lip service to the new FOP leadership and wait to get his marching orders from his political Boss the vindictive midget mayor.
Sadly, in the mean time we provide minimal service while working in a confused, chaotic and dysfunctional police dept. We do this while being directed by Brown and his Command Staff to violate Constitutional guarantees with questionable and unconstitutional orders, directives and policies. BTW: Where is Barb "Pillows" West who is in charge of Constitutional Policing. Please someone wake her up. Another goofy decision to place a incapable dullard in charge of a make believe, useless and unnecessary office. Barb needed a spot and they gave her this one.
Dallas Brown is Barb giving you advice on the Surge and implications for constitutional policing. Are you even aware there is such a organization like this in the Dept. Do you know Barb even exists or are all these goofy ideas all yours. This is Chicago buddy, you need a fall guy (or girl in this case).
Low down cow town super Brown!
Lightloaf should tell the citizens that if the murder rate is under 300 then the city would pay for all the pizza, beer, and pot in a one night fest. This city is managed by idiots.
URKEL it has to be, he’s a dead ringer, just make suspenders part of the uniform that he wants to wear

If they are all useless gangbangers, other violent scum and their ilk, then I'm hoping for another 1000 dead year.

providing disco lights for the ghetto boys and girls is not a police plan , enforcing unlawful orders is not very smart .
put the blinders on , write reports , other criminal incident , failure to social distance , enter event number for detective follow up to identify offenders from body camera recordings .
Shooting guns in zChicago is Illegal , Pam Z , Chuck Goudie ,Carol Marin ,Chicago is killing crimes by not reporting all calls responded to by million dollar shot spotter technology . why do police have guns out , look at the calls from shot spotter , not many are documented by a case report .
