More Short Districts
A couple more people sent in sheets. Here's what was up in 017 on 07 October:
What you aren't seeing is 1710 and 1720 - those are down sergeants. Also, no 1713, 1722 and 1731 - one-third of the available manpower is MIA.
It continues tonight:
This time, 1710 and 1730 are down, along with 1713 and 1731. At the bottom of the sheets, 1740, 41, 42, and 43 are all detailed downtown....as in NOT working in 017.
This one is a little harder to read, but it's 006 District 3rd Watch:
Two sergeants on the street (610 and 620), 614 and 621 are down cars, while 650 is taking 651, 652 and 653 downtown with 6 officers.....again, NOT working in 006.
This one takes the cake though - midnights in 014:
Two sergeants(1410 and 1420) supervising THREE cars. Total (1411 playing squadrol, 1422 and 1434). One car per sector, that's it. Six Officers
Five officers are downtown - which is almost half the available manpower that night. And an entire Tact team....a light tact team judging by the number of officers....is at Groot's house.
This is criminal, a safety hazard and a rip-off for taxpayers who are suffering burglaries, thefts and other property damage at record setting levels.

And where is our UNION?
Whats the current headcount on the dept? How is it possible to have like 10,000 officers and only 20 in an entire district overnight inside/outside?
017 needs help. Badly. It’s been neglected for so long that now the shit is coming home to roost. There’s no Lts, no sgts and barely any po’s. People leave and they never replace them. They keep coming to 017 and pulling more and more officers out for long term details. At some point you just give up. It’s not even safe to stop cars out there because you have no back up. When they come asking why our numbers are down, the commander should point to these sheets as exhibit A.
Holy Fuck!! That is criminal what’s going on in 014 there. When it’s that unsafe to work, something needs to be done. Wasn’t there a watch back in the day that refused to hit the street for a reason like that? I can’t remember where, but they had to call the street deputy in I believe. Things changed fast after that I heard.
1416 a,b,c are Larry's detail. Explicitly told "NOT TO LEAVE POST, EVEN FOR A 10-1"
Can someone send those sheets to alderman nugent? Im sure she’d like to see in black and white the reason why so many people have been ending the day in 017 with more holes than they started.
And they wonder why 017 has turned into a Gang infested shooting gallery.
"This is criminal, a safety hazard and a rip-off for taxpayers who are suffering burglaries, thefts and other property damage at record setting levels."
And up here at Irving-Cicero we got bullets flying.
Get rid of this god damn motherfuking garden nome
What Lightfoot has done to the police department is horrific. Every honest citizen and business should be furious!
Those cars at the mayors house in 014 are not a tact team. That's 5 officers from 1st watch.
But yet they take two sgts, one LT and 22 police officers to make these stupid fu$&ing DCO teams to go to the ghetto and sing koombyah with the church folk and make cheeseburgers at McDonald’s. There are real life problems caused by real life crime happening in this city and pulling an event for a positive community interaction, having a community BBQ or working at McDonalds for a photo op isn’t going to stop the violence. It’s going to make your police department seem illegitimate and have no teeth with no fear of repercussions or getting checked by the police because the police are off holding hands and praying with the community members who ALREADY support the police. The only people who show up to these events are people who already support us, the criminals will NEVER be on our side nor
Do they want to be on our side. The are working the tip making thousands a week and getting high, driving nice cars and running rampant in swanky downtown hotel parties on stolen credit cards. They don’t care about dropping that lifestyle to work a minimum wage job or any job at all. You could pay them 30 an hour and they still don’t want that responsibility. The CRIMINALS need to be policed, end of story. They aren’t gonna have an awakening because they go to a lame BBQ with a bunch of cops and preachers and old ladies. The “be the change” police who have been hired in the past 6 years actually believe in this crap.. prob because half of them have IR numbers.
The Groot does not care about us. As far as she is concerned, those sheets mean nothing.
Oh, and President Donald J. Trump is responsible for her feeling unsafe.
She is one freaking lunatic.
MAGA 2020.
Pray God Trump/Pence win.
well the consent decree is bogus you fire barb west , then all this bogus training, they r never in compliance with this crap yet expect the department to abide by it.
This is disgusting
Bull poop SCC! I specifically heard an exempt say at a news conference that ALL district still have adequate manpower!
I came on in the 70s and worked the streets and desks in five different districts. They have always lied about the manpower just like they killed crime on paper. Of course this is really blatant. And this comes from the upper ranks. This is what happens when you have one political group controlling the City from close to one hundred years.
It's important to note that the Tac team guarding groots block exclusively is in addition to the mayoral house detail that protects the house with an officer on the street, alley, mobile car and nearby remote parking of her city cars. Yes 24/7/365, there is a police officer protecting the city cars for her detail. This detail is all just for the house. It does not include her personal and family security detail. That detail comprises of a dozen more officers. All told, 40 officers and supervisors are used each and every day of the year to protect that ugly little troll.
Brief segment with video of "mostly peaceful terrorists" attacking suburban homes in Wauwautosa

Pretty clear that Antifa et al act with impunity when they know that mayors, governors and especially DA's have their back.
Most media of course runs cover for them.
If there was honest news coverage about what has happened over the past 5 months, every sympathizing politician outside of a few hard-core leftist cities would be voted out. Those cities which would vote said politicians back in are, by definition, criminal enclaves, voting to protect their criminal enterprises.
There are more people at training then on the street...bullshit training at that!
That 014 sheet is dumbfounding. One shooting and there are literally no cars available for the rest of the night. What do you do then, borrow cars from other districts lol. Maybe 018 can give you some of their manpower. It's like the swingers version of beat patrol.
No manpower.....anywhere! But let’s make sure we expand the failed unity in command because the illegal consent decree says so!!! Brilliant!!! Incompetent leadership!!!
Downing cars on missions helps...
What am I paying taxes for?
not a Leo
017 is in the 39th Ward- Alderman Nugent.
Just another Communist POS like the Mayor.
It's almost like the mayor hasn't a clue what she's doing.
My car will not start. Who do I blame? President Donald J. Trump or the Groot? It is the Groot all the way! That was easy. No matter who I blame, my car is not going to start, but I feel better blaming the Groot.
F.U.L.L.
Disgusting on so many levels. #1 being officer safety. An officer eventually will get hurt in one of these districts and the lack of backup and manpower will be part of the reason. The union. The aldermorons. The citizens. Should all being raising hell. This department is a fuckin joke
Really don't understand how 006 is short seeing they have the most Sergeants assigned to it for the squad policing program. Maybe poor mis-management?
Now those are sheets that support hazardous pay
Crime is down according to 35th Street.
The real reason crime is down is you are referred to 311 to make many reports and after waiting 25 or 30 minutes many people give up and if you actually get through you speak with a POW who offers no empathy.
What about the consent decree? Is it OK to ignore it when it goes against your agenda. This rioting is never gonna stop win or lose. Why not just open bids to 001 or make a permanent detail there.
Bad wreck, bad fire, shooting, all have the potential to need 3 or more cars to get the job done. The result of this manpower shortage will be shoddy police work and officers getting hurt. Officers are fighting to go downtown because that's an easy night compared to staying in the district and being bounced around all night like a ping pong ball shagging jobs. The deputy chiefs and the chief of patrol are looking at these sheets and this is okay ?????? You have to be fucking kidding me.
If Democrats had any shame, they would be ashamed of themselves.
That 014 midnights lineup is crazy. I’d like to think half of the Watch is on time-due, I see that the Medical box has a single name, apparently The Covids isn’t scaring PO’s into work-at-home or that many are succumbing to the plague for having to show up for work every day around the clock....with No Demands for Hazard Pay.
Does the Area think those sort of lineups are acceptable (For Officer Safety) and has real faith that the feral aint misbehavin’ or what? Is the Area Chief asleep at the wheel, who reads these manpower allocations and approves this sort of potential dangerous practice...a house mouse? Somebody isn’t doing their job, is being stifled beyond reason or just lost all integrity for self preservation. This need to be addressed.
FOP should be getting Daily Schedules as part of the negotiated Contract and the schedules should become public record.
Wonder what last night had to offer crime wise, response times or what calls OEMC shitcanned.
The feral don’t take regular days off and any District has the potential to break out in chaos for whatever disrespectin’ reason and any backup from short staffed 017, 025 is always too far away.
Then the fucking looney tune mayor has to have 014 sentries posted so people don’t deliver her cookies.
Hushed Brown - not a peep about manpower or out of control violence.
And the real question is why the media are not blasting this from the front page, and leading every newscast with it? For organizations with full constitutional protections under the First Amendment, the local outlets are showing how weak they are, how sold out they are to liberal interests, and what a dramatic disservice they are doing to the citizenry.
We put this information out there and it garners 0 media attention and then people become tough guys in the comments. I see this everyday in multiple stories and yet no one has the courage to stand up to or organize against a city trying to exhaust and harm its officers. We are so feckless we are being bullied by a 4”9 Wizard of Oz like Midget who openly mocks our lack of masculinity and understands we are to big of cowards to do anything. I can’t believe we’ve become nothing but a bunch of whiny cowardly goofs who are about as radical as a women’s Bridge Group in Wheaton.
Then you have “police officers” flipping burgers at McDonald’s and cleaning the neighborhood for these lazy ass fucks who refuse to clean up the garbage that they throw all over the sidewalks and streets of their own neighborhoods. The Desk mice will do anything not to hit the street. DAmn shame!
Dangerous.
014 District 2nd wt 09 Oct 2020 early roll call: 5 cars,1 wagon; late roll call: 6 cars, 2 field sergeants UNBELIEVABLE
Watch, after the threat against the Gov of Michigan, Groot wil TRIPLE her protective detail. Half the Dept will be guarding her and her home.
I find it ironic that a person who really hates the police, who throws them under the bus at any chance she gets, have all this personal GUARDING HER AND HER FAMILY. She is the typical far left liberal.
The emperor has no clothes...the neighborhoods have no protection. Where is the media to point this out?
020 has the lowest amount of po's working on days.. last week only 5 po's and 1 sgt on 2nd watch.. all the rest were either downtown or training
I was watching WGN news last night. They highlighted President Trump's Tweet in reaction to Whitmer's "extremist" accusation garbage. The WGN anchor read the President' Tweet which mentioned "Antifa" and how this hate group is never called out. Instead of saying the word "Antifa," which was written in Trump's Tweet, the announcer said "LOOTING." Unbelievable! The media will NEVER call Antifa out or that disgusting BLM! The vast majority of law-abiding citizen are angry and are fed up with both these hate groups.
You misunderstand her intentions SCC. This is all part of Groot’s October “Skeleton Crew” initiative leading up to Halloween. By the end of the month, going out after dark in ALL neighborhoods will be absolutely terrifying and it will have nothing to do with all hallows eve...if you catch my drift.
And Chicagoans will still elect all the democrats… so we get what we voted for.
Don’t forget Surge Missions! Still have to down cars for hours at a time to do a “po-po parade” through the district.
No Catnzara ?? not a whisper... Safety hazard for street patrol and
citizens ..imagine a 10-1 ,and surrounding districts also have bare bone staffing
Looking like Catanzara becoming cozy. rubbing elbows at the White House , is
Catanzara taking the bright lights Kool-Aid ,putting members 2nd?
Dispatch: 1420 were in a RAP !!!!
1420: 10-99. UNBELIEVABLE
12,000 (give or take) police on CPD...my ass !!!!!!
All wives and family members rise up. Our men and women deserve better. BETTER. And until we together make noise nothing going to change
No contract. No respect And this stupid mayor only thinks of more committes more more for the blm.
Look at the crazy person ramming all the police vehicles. I’m sure her crisis intervention people could have stopped that
Oversight committee to oversight that committee Smoke and mirror. Same old bullshit
Let er get her own security detail for her house
And how about. Not taking a salary. Mayor Let’s start there.
Vote out crimisha that’s a start

Where is the FOP??? 2 1/2 days ahead of this story that is where. We were made aware of this at the beginning of the week and have already sent notice to Management and Labor Affairs. It's disturbing how quickly some of you are willing to jump the gun and assume nothing is being done. You rush to a keyboard to throw uninformed shots instead of calling the Lodge and asking questions. Have a little faith that issues are addressed quickly as we are made aware of them.

Instead of getting ur panties in a bunch maybe you should inform your members instead of planning your next trip on our dime
I c more retired police then regular police in my district.
Are they taking people from the D-Units too? How short are they?
Two beat cars and a wagon to cover the entire 14th district?? This is very concerning. Taking couple reports from citizens and the whole district is down and in a rap. (All jobs on hold). The citizens that pay big dollars for those million dollar homes in Bucktown, Wicker Park should be outraged. So sad how Larry has destroyed the safety of our neighborhoods.

So when is the new security unit with 60 POs going to be up and running?
Well it looks like Stevie G is back. Only as a consultant though. It appears that no one has any idea of what to do to prepare for election night and they had to call an audible and bring him back. I would have told them to suck it but I bet they are paying him handsomely.
Who’s running special events now??? Someone that probably got the answers to the last LT test I’m sure.
Those sheets on 1st Watch in Stalag 017 is why I bid to afternoons. Then the manpower on afternoons evaporated slowly. I'm glad I'm retired, but these idiots are going to tax my pension and once they get the "fair tax" enacted, here comes the 8 to 14% income tax rates. Added on top of the highest real estate taxes and nearly the highest sales taxes. If you don't vote for the "fair tax" we'll be forced to raise income taxes 20%! OMG! Oh no! Hey dummy, 20% of 5% is 1%. Did you ever notice, the that about tax revenues never includes figuring out how to spend less? Blago is a good example, they had a fare increase on mass transit riders and the 1 thing he did after that was, give Senior Citizens free rides. Now, I like free as much as anyone but, you just balanced the books and now you created more government freebies. It's got to stop NOW.
Don’t worry though the cheating Lieutenant Carter who’s husband thinks he’s Frasier Thomas from Garfield goose she got the airport it’s nice isn’t it how that works I’ll tell us that even needed as a waste of a position but then again Brown is so blind he has no clue what he’s doing just like a piece of shit shit mayor we have Iwas clueless also just dumb and blind Democrats everything wrong with society oh fuck you Larry fuck you brown the fuck you sadia,
RAP all night long.
Here we go again, right on cue. 2800 cases today, 35 deaths, Thursday, 3200 cases, 42 deaths, 28 Illinois counties in warning status. JB can say and do whatever he wants and everyone in this Democratic run state will abide by his edicts.
It doesn't matter if the numbers are true or not, they have an agenda, JB's job is to stoke fear, shut down the state, ram through some emergency legislation for emergency ballots to be sent out, and secure the fraud.
At the D9 (Democratic governor) summit of democratic governors last week in Michigan, the governors, like JB taking a coronavirus vacation, finalized their October surprise plans to get Biden into office. JB will have the most tests done in the country by November 3rd, will have the state back to Stage 2, Whittmer is going with the white nationalist route, the Penn governor going with gay-lesbian hate, and so on.
Fathers, won't it be great to say someday that a woman your daughter should look up to is President Kamala Harris. A woman who gladly slept her way to the top. What a wonderful role model for our daughters.
005 Has OT sign up because we were down to 2-3 10-4 cars. Sometimes there are 0 or 1 Sargent from 1530 - 0700. Call for a Supervisor and 599 says call him at the desk
Put your seatbelts on Boys and Girls, the Mayor is dead set on CPD Layoffs and she hates the fact CPD has stripped officers working at 311 and believes they are all criminals. Expect a sweeping firing of any healthy officers, soon and feels now is the climate to get away with it those on light duty will be put into a pool to be sent to districts like a unit. She supposedly has the support of our bosses and could care less if the officers are completely innocent. Crime doesn’t matter to her just getting the number down to 6,000 with 5,900 assigned to her house.
A robbery because 017 has some of the highest tax paying areas in the city.
The consent decree and all of the new onerous restrictions on police are not intended to improve policing. They are an extension of the Cloward-Piven strategy. Crash the system and then claim that socialism is the answer to the problem that was created intentionally.
Any commander who approves of these sheets, depleting manpower is NOT YOUR FRIEND. He or SHE only is looking to get promoted again in this failure of a dept. Stay silent, dont challenge the mayor or safety of your officers, keep asking for your meaningless numbers for compstat, that's what you have been reduced to, a fucking shame.
A fully-manned Watch is an idea, not a group.
And they wonder why 017 has turned into a Gang infested shooting gallery.

That's why we moved from Albany Park this past summer. 106/Wallace is so quiet in comparison.
From the Sergeants Union today:
Fri 10/9/2020 1:38 PM
I have been apprised of an email sent from Lt. Mullenix, that states the downtown detail is an assignment and for Lt's and Capt's to deny premium pay slips.
We have filed a grievance regarding this.
We, rightfully so, consider this a detail and if you are detailed to it in violation of Section 23.8, PUT A SLIP IN.
If / when it is denied please note this, as it will be needed if / when the grievance goes to arbitration. No matter what you call a dog it's still a dog.
Renaming this detail is just an attempt to circumvent our Contract and it's protections for our Members.
Again put the slip in if you are improperly sent to this DETAIL.
Thank you for everything you do out there and please be safe,
Jim

Is Catanzara afraid to speak up ,call in fake Chicago media to publicize the dangerous position Groot is putting FOP members and Chicago residents? Sending some email doesn't solve nor inform anyone....Show some cojones,start leading
Short manpower in the district? How about emptying out the ATC room in A/3, how many 5 yr wonders are hiding out there instead of working the street. Check the numbers on P.O's detailed there and the district SDSC rooms....ridiculous.
Please stop bitching about things and DO SOMETHING. Anything start with a no confidence vote. Better not because you might not get a consensus of no confidence with all the merit and people of color in CPD. Those same will be voting Kim back in office since all their feeble minds can do is pull that D lever.
The bad news 2000-2500 fewer CPD next year. The good news is lots of overtime next year. Bank on it.
JCAT is no better than the last guy. Lip service is all your going to get. When nothing is done he will blame THEM whoever THEM might be. Big blowhard got elected then nothing. Just talk, talk, and more empty talk. Keep telling you, you need to decertify and get a real Union and not a good old boys Lodge. Not even golf or pizza this year.
LOL Management and Labor Affairs is completely run by the Democratic Machine hacks. Good luck with that. How doing something real simple like a no confidence vote. It might get both local and national coverage. But the behind closed doors is not working your losing the PR battle big time. Why not sit down with the head of the NYC police union and learn how a union should be run.
Lola million dollar homes and condos and they can't walk the streets. To funny. Until the next tax dill comes with the huge increase Groôt is hiding. She wants to get as many mail in votes as possible before springing the bad news to all the tax paying fools in the city. Your so screwed. But guess which party gets a huge majority of the votes in November throughout all the city. All precincts will be solidly Blue.
So I like to be fair here. I’ve moved on from my “working days” of being the police. In April of 2021 I leave this job with 34 years on. I’m on autopilot. End of the 80s and early 90s I was on tac teams worked narcotics and on gun and gang teams in my career. About 9 years ago at 25 years I finally decided it was time to move on. I worked the watch for 6 years and now I’ve finally moved inside. I only say this so people
Know I don’t have a horse in this game of which I’m about to talk about. I’m not a tactical warrior or car about the tac teams anymore. So I commonly look at the numbers during my inside time. So far this year CPD has recovered about 7900 guns.. this included buy back programs. Of those guns district tac teams so far have recovered 4,193 of those guns. The mayors plan is to supplement the watches with getting rid of the tac teams because she doesn’t like that they make arrests and go against her community policing plan. So I ask, what will happen if we get rid of tac teams? Yes, we will have manpower on the arches but will anyone work anymore? I don’t blame them one bit, they shouldn’t work if they go back, just answer your jobs, help out the fellow officers and go home. So 4200 guns and offenders a year could stay on the streets in the wrong hands. Obviously not every gun had a head with it but it’s still a recovered gun, and NOT a gun relating to a buy back program so it more than likely came in from the street. So what will happen? We think it won’t effect us in our neighborhoods because they are “detailed out” anyways of the tac teams remain in the lore ghetto parts of the district but I think different. It will absolutely effect our neighborhoods. If 50-100 guys are arrested citywide per week with a gun then that gun and the offender are off the street or on EM or at least on paper fighting a case which leads many, not all to lay low while they fight a case. Instead, those guns and those offenders cross district to district and leave their area with no problem. Free to roam the city and free to do what they want. It has a trickledown effect. Tac teams working in the ghetto DO effect crime in other neighborhoods because they are getting bad people off the street and keeps them from committing crime in other parts of the city or suburbs. It’s a terrible idea. They should have never created this fake SOG/SOS/MSF/TRU Unit again. This and summer mobile is what really destroyed the district manpower. The 5 bodies per watch really isn’t a major effect if they didn’t make these units. We are in for bad times citywide if they get rid of tac teams. We bash the teams a lot and other coppers get mad at them because they work... whatever, but in the big picture this move can seriously bust this city wide open.
Terrible, 017 is dealing with a ongoing gang war like never seen.
Shootings every day and limited officers on the street.
Totally unsafe to work there.
All reports should be directed to "non emergency 311",unless it's a shooting, robbery, burglary, domestic, traffic accident,or DOA (911) then a car is sent to the scene. CPD is too stupid too implement this action.
Nobody left in this city cares about us cops complaining about shift manpower, contract issues, or pretty much anything else we bitch about. If we haven't yet noticed, the dumbfucks in this city vote for the very politicians who openly despise and talk shit about us. The sooner we realize this city is doomed, the better off we will be. I still laugh everyday at all these young cops still hustling around trying to get stats. Got the retirement house in FL a year ago, and as of January 1st, Chicago and the State of Illinois can fuck off.
Until then, the riots and mayhem just make me A LOT OF OVERTIME. Carry on savages. I'm enjoying milking this gravy train for another few months.
Put your seatbelts on Boys and Girls, the Mayor is dead set on CPD Layoffs and she hates the fact CPD has stripped officers working at 311 and believes they are all criminals. Expect a sweeping firing of any healthy officers, soon and feels now is the climate to get away with it those on light duty will be put into a pool to be sent to districts like a unit. She supposedly has the support of our bosses and could care less if the officers are completely innocent. Crime doesn’t matter to her just getting the number down to 6,000 with 5,900 assigned to her house.
I accidentally walked into callback at the academy. Everyone was half asleep and all had civilian clothes on. No one in uniform and comfortable sweaters and neck pillows next to them. Is it standard for callback to not wear a uniform? I then asked a guy there how many reports they'll complete on average. His response 4-6 and they're done. Get up and walk out for as long as you'd like come back and go home. I was astounded. What do I have to do to land there for the rest of my career. Take that no good CPD star I couldn't care less. Send me to callback I complete 16 case report daily I promise. One every half hour- and will take no lunch.
12,000 (give or take) police on CPD...my ass !!!!!!
It's actually more than 12000, you can easily look the information up on clear. Of the 12000 only 2k are in patrol and that's the problem. Commander's office alone in some districts have more coppers assigned than midnights. It's pretty dangerous up there in the office on the second floor so they need all the officers they can get. I would love to help them out but I'm too afraid to go work up there. Those officers are heros. Then there's tact, the hidden units, HQ, the desk dollies and unnecessary Government task forces which further deplete patrol of manpower. Look at everyone around you at roll call. None of those people are connected, just like you, that's why they're there with you.
So I guess that class of 30 Lts that are normally promoted in early December as an xmas gift will be put on hold?
Thanks for showing this SCC. Maybe some enterprising journalist will get on this story. Probably not....
This is not safe.
Someone needs to figure out how many CPD and other LE are assigned to the Groot detail in total.
Then make graphics comparing protection for one person vs. A) for each district and B) the whole city.
Imagine when people get a visual of one person being more important than tens if not hundreds if thousands.
Make the scale in cops per Groot vs. cops per Chicago citizen.
Only royalty gets protection in the "new, enlightened, progressive" era of policing. Everyone else gets empty promises. Sorta like every Communist regime aince 1917.
Some pics of cop saturated Groot Street vs. Looters (Grooters?) running wild everywhere else would drive home the point.
In case you were wondering, the commanders office in 017 is still fully staffed though. Same with caps. It’s not like the watch could use any of those bodies. They’ll strip the watches to bare bones, but the commanders office always goes untouched. How about they pull the bodies out from these commanders so they can see what it’s like to have no help?
Jesus Christ. I work in a suburb with about 80,000 population and between patrol, traffic, tact and supervisors, we normally have 20-25 working the street. Don’t know how you guys do it.
Lol that’s more that what 005 has as manpower. Literally send out 4 cars on midnights aKa “3rd watch” the other night and only one Sgt for the entire watch. A couple days ago I checked off w/ no Sgt. Lol comical
OT The biggest reason I come out here on SCC Is that I really like reading stories from the old guys.....the ones who are now enjoying retirement and the ones who are close to retiring. reading their stories takes me back in time.....in my mind eye I could see them so clearly, beat cars with blue fenders and white doors, wheel guns, leather jackets, big honking radios and well worn batons that was an extension of their arms. when I was growing up seeing a copper giving out a wood shampoo was a common occurrence. I will never forget how those old coppers would yell at shitheads.....that alone was enough to make you piss your pants! but everybody talks about the “brutality” that went on back in the day (funny how they never talk about the reasons why) but I also remember things that nobody talks about, like that time a child was hit by a car and after they put him in the ambulance I saw one of the coppers on scene lean against a building and cry like a two-year-old. Or the blizzard of 79....I had a bad cold and needed to get to the neighborhood clinic our car was buried in snow and good luck on catching the green limousine or a cab, so my dad flag down a beat car “Yeah, no problem sir.....we’ll help out” was their response. It’s impossible to think about Chicago without thinking about the CPD.....because you guys were always there. believe me I know....that the department is going through hell right now and that the future is uncertain, but just like the blue light broke through the darkness of the 60s and 70s I know that it will Shine bright through this chaos and nonsense! thank you for always being there when I needed help.
Oh my, 620 good citizens murdered and over 3300 shot in the Massillon Midget's "mostly peaceful" city. Oh my! What's the Midget gonna do?
Meanwhile late Friday night Groot and Brown meet to develop a new crime fighting plan.
Let's reorganized the Police Dept and come up with another plan. We'll steal officer's from their assigned Districts and have them stand around the downtown area, and fool the business community into thinking it's safe.
What do you mean we did that already!
OK, how about giving the Police those nice looking Yellow Vests and have them take out the community's garbage, play video games with the chilren, sweep streets, pull weeds and stuff.
What do you mean we did that already.
OK lets defund the Police.
What do you means that's a stupid idea.
Ok, ok I got another plan. Blame it all on the Wuhan Red Death and the big, bad Orange Man. Works all the time. The media will love it.
Oh thank you Superintendent for the kinds words on my new strategic plan to fight crime. Now you know why I am the mayor and your not. You just have to learn to think strategically like I do. Now go sell the new plan at Monday's presser before the death numbers, I mean, the victimization numbers are made public.

Put your seatbelts on Boys and Girls, the Mayor is dead set on CPD Layoffs and she hates the fact CPD has stripped officers working at 311 and believes they are all criminals. Expect a sweeping firing of any healthy officers, soon and feels now is the climate to get away with it those on light duty will be put into a pool to be sent to districts like a unit. She supposedly has the support of our bosses and could care less if the officers are completely innocent. Crime doesn’t matter to her just getting the number down to 6,000 with 5,900 assigned to her house.

**Start with the assholes that ABUSE the medical. I just love that someone bids to a watch and then sits on the medical the entire year then comes off to secure his/her watch selection again...totally useless and get rid of them!

Where is the FOP??? 2 1/2 days ahead of this story that is where. We were made aware of this at the beginning of the week and have already sent notice to Management and Labor Affairs. It's disturbing how quickly some of you are willing to jump the gun and assume nothing is being done. You rush to a keyboard to throw uninformed shots instead of calling the Lodge and asking questions. Have a little faith that issues are addressed quickly as we are made aware of them.

**Well lets face the facts, you ARE the district with the LOWEST service calls and do have a car sitting at the lakefront all day pushing the bums into the 19th side. Thats a waste of manpower.
CBS WBBM stole this story this morning

Excellent post!
Dallas Brown's remake of the CPD is a lot like we experienced with J-Fled. Districts are stripped of the essential patrol cops and the new citywide units get all the manpower. What a joke. The last time this happened we lost a Sgt, Alan Haymaker, in the middle of winter to a traffic crash as he desperately raced down LSD to back-up a 1-person car that answered a burglary in progress and was fighting with the burglar. I fear we will have another tragedy if this bullshit continues.
Time to re-think those murder totals: 300 -- blew past that a month later, 600 in the rear view mirror, closing in on 700 and with the November riots coming we could set a new record. If you compare the medical technology from the 1970s to 2020 the 600 murdered today would be 1000 in 1973, saving a lot more lives than we did back then.
Even if we don't break the record this year, this will be the bloodiest year in Chicago history with the longest impact.
First up: stop stripping black communities of their self agency. How do you do that? You stop providing free services and start holding them accountable for themselves and their families. This is so patronizing and it sends a signal that's been sent for Generations now that "you cannot do it on your own". That you are inept!! Do you know what this does to the human Spirit? You are keeping the very people down that you say you want to help! Figure it out. It isn't hard. It's psychology 101.
