Stop Crashing Cars Already

At some point, these kids are going to have to be on foot routes, just to protect them from being suspended:
  • Three Chicago police officers were hurt in a crash Saturday in Lawndale on the West Side.

    The officers were traveling south in an unmarked car about 5:50 p.m. when, for an unspecified reason, they crashed into a building in the 1300 block of South Homan Avenue, Chicago police said.

    The officers were hospitalized with injuries that were not thought to be life-threatening, police said.
Get well soon.

Once upon a time, it was easy and affordable to be a driving fool as a teen, and a dirt biking fool, even before that. Thus, one had the hours needed to, hopefully, stay out of trouble by the time he was 21. Add a few years in the military, and the average recruit was well versed in keeping his car on the road, or at least in the right direction. Of course, this was when every 16 year old had a driver's license and a jalopy to work on at high school auto shop. Today's hard charger has more time on an XBox or PS-whatever than actual wheel time.

And it shows

"Unspecified reason":

* Pothole as big as the moon

* Stray mutt runs out

* Savage stumbles out

* Someone threw a brick/bottle/can of food at the cop car...

* Texting

* Car went nuts on it's own?

How many cars does CPD have left after the rioters burned them, stole them, jumped all over and tagged them, and the recent crashes? Maybe if it's not enough Groot or Prickwrinkle can use ONE car instead of a contingent...

Divy Bikes to the rescue!! Drivers should be given the choice of Summer Mobile on a Divy, or a foot post in eleven. I have a couple more ideas, wacky ones too, but I know that Groot has the blog read to her, and they might seem viable to her.

Harrison rangers had to join a chase that started and finished in 010. The car was originally taken in a vehicle hijacking and was being followed by PH1. No need for the grunt style wearing rangers to be in 010 or pursuing/“following” the vehicle on the e-way and all over gods creation. They were even told by an 011th dist sgt to fall back and give the vehicle space.

Slick boys can drive much faster because they are unmarked cars and wear backwards baseball hats. Their cars are faster than the marked cars and I also heard they are indestructible and invisible. Idiot kids. Stop doing work. Especially the nitwits in 011.

The city may as well put "governors" on the cars that prevent speeds over 40 mph. We don't chase anyone anyway so speed is not needed. Might lower the crash rate,

These crashes over bullshit calls or observations is going to lead to a major overhaul - watch. Larri isn’t going to be hiring next year, certainly not going to spend on new vehicles, parts and repairs will be idled. She’s bent on reform and defund.

I remember back in mid ‘80’s fresh recruits were teamed up after their very short FTO (8-10 wk) period. The eager beavers were chasing everything and were crashing cars all over the place. The Dept had to amend the G.O. to not allow PPO’s to work alone or in pairs.

It’s one thing to stave off serious injury, but the legal and financial ramifications can always a be just as harmful.

Five year OTJ and min 30 YOA to get a vehicle or a 30 mph maximum acceleration governor.
Rascal 12volt tricycle scooters?
I remember the Dept Segway craze, who many injured trying to learn that method of conveying?
Foot patrol for a Period would be minimum penalty, but I like the Divvy thing...with a basket and a bell, maybe streamers too.

Stay Safe - Buckle Up

Multiple combat tours,(7) never got hit. I was injured in a vehicle accident. I just told the jagoff driving the lead vehicle to slow the fuck down. He crashed, I had to take evasive action in an overloaded ammo truck. 6 surgeries and a decade of not being able to work, I'm still paying for that jagoff's actions. Don't fuck your buddy. Drive defensively. You ain't Steve McQueen.

AMEN!
All the 011 district cars max speed 40mph. Just fast enough to maintain max speed limit in the city. That’ll teach these morons not to chase a goddam thing. Theres so many cops in that district they roll 15 cars deep to a bs domestic. Plus 3 sergeants on top of that. Couldn’t believe it when I saw it. What a waste of resources. But the city still does nothing about it.

NOT CPD, but here goes:

Back in the 90's, I was a lateral transfer to another police department that paid a little better than the one I worked for. One night, I was riding around with my FTO, and he gave me a bunch of shit about how I was driving. I was an experienced officer at that point, so I told him I knew what I was doing. He got pissed, and made me pull over and drive, leaving me to ride shotgun while he drove.

About 10 minutes later, I mean not even TEN FUCKING MINUTES LATER, he ran the car into the side of a dry cleaner's building.

"Sorry, Mark, guess I shoulda been running into buildings and you'd like my driving. I get it now!" and the reply, "Fuck you, man!"

Wonder if that was the deal here...
