Nice Downtown Groot

So these comments appeared earlier:

  • Worked the Michigan Ave detail last night and 6-7 guns were recovered. WTF.  
  • 5 handguns recovered on (2) traffic stops last night in 018 off Michigan Avenue. If you are headed downtown, arm yourself and be careful.

Anyone have the overview?

Downtown is done for good. Take a look by the high end stores and see who is shopping there. They are all armed with multiple firearms and there will be a rival gang shoot out that takes place in one of these stores any day now. Dont worry, Kimmy denied felony charges on the guy from the traffic stop who already had an armed habitual and numerous uuw convictions.

It’s not good with what’s going on downtown since Lightfoot took over. The only thing that’s holding it together is the downtown detail. Without it, it would be lost. Imagine what will happen if Lightfoot ended the detail? The citizens love the downtown detail but it should never have come to this point. Sad

Why are you proactively stopping these cars? A gun fight could erupt and a bystander may get shot. Let the thugs keep going, let them keep their guns and let all the City Voting DemoRats reap what they sow.

What do you expect with Groot and Fox at the helm. Downtown hotels selling rooms at 70 bucks a night to the animals has turned downtown high end hotels into mini housing projects. Domestics , BIP’s, and Shots fired just about every night. The weekend is even worse. People are fleeing downtown condos , and businesses aren’t planning on re-opening . All the money they poured into making downtown a destination for tourism just went up in flames. With multiple high end stores not returning to the mag mile and the policies of groot downtown will be a ghetto destination for a long time.

I remember years ago the Charlie Club opened on Michigan Ave. Full hotel, health club and fantastic 4 story atrium bar with huge picture windows that face the lake. We go there for Venetian Night and the fireworks are exploding right outside those windows. So cool we go back a few weeks later. Now the lobby has velvet theater ropes to contain us, and you have to get in line to get on the elevator. The elevator now had an operator. You get up stairs and the host now has a broken arm. He seats us right away even tho the joint is packed, mainly because if you are sitting at a table you have some expectation of ordering something. The stairways are covered with people standing around on them. I see as many half dogs as I do drinks, and the cocktail waitresses are all standing near the brokened arm guy chatting. Security guard on every floor. Never went back. No one else did either. The place was ruined a month after they opened. This was the pager years and it happened in a flash. They can do this in an hour now.

NYPD losing avg. 225 officers/month (52/week)

Anti-Cop Climate Sparks NYPD Exodus

The NYPost has learned the anti-cop climate, underwhelming pay, and out of control violent crime in New York City have resulted in police officers' exodus.

Approximately 50 NYPD officers left their jobs in Nassau County last Friday. Many of them were on the job for less than five years.

The departure comes as thousands of city cops have already quit or retired.

Police Commissioner Dermot Shea said the NYPD needs 900 new police officers.

Uniformed NYPD officers fell to 34,184 this year - down from 36,900 last year, a loss of more than 2,700.

Suppose politicians in the metro area don't quit bashing the police and their campaign to defund the NYPD. In that case, the exodus is expected to dangerously increase, one where decreased patrols could be seen, which would transform some neighborhoods into violent areas, such as ones seen in Baltimore and Detroit.

New York City has already experienced gun violence levels 'unseen in years' with shootings in November up by more than 112% compared with...

‘We’re arresting some people four or five times’

No shit Dick Tracy who gave you the clue?

IL: Violent crime rate doubles on CTA rail system, even with stepped-up police efforts and far fewer riders: ‘The people that are driving the crime never left the system’

The rate of violent crime on CTA trains and platforms has more than doubled this year, even though the number of riders has dramatically dropped and Chicago police have stepped up patrols and surveillance, according to a Tribune analysis of police and CTA data.

Ridership this year on the “L” system has been down 61% through September compared with the same period in 2019, according to the CTA. In some months during the spring and summer, it was down more than 85%

The number of crimes has dropped, too, but not nearly as much as ridership. That means those left riding the system saw a jump in their odds of becoming a victim to a crime on the “L” or at CTA platforms and stations.

From Jan. 1 through Sept. 30, there were roughly 6 violent crimes and 9 nonviolent crimes per 1 million rides on the “L.” The nonviolent crime rate saw a slight uptick, but the violent crime rate has more than doubled from last year, when both types of crime on the CTA rail system reached their highest levels of the decade

Arm yourself heading downtown? If you have to take a train and/or bus, they preclude concealed carriers from carrying in those locations, where you are locked in a box with armed animals and left defenseless. If you make it out of that gauntlet to get downtown, you are now unarmed and defenseless, so what fool would go?

If you dare to ignore their violation of your constitutional rights and conceal a firearm on public transportation heading into downtown -- and you get "caught" -- they will prosecute you to the full extent of the law, then revoke your CCL. The animals rarely get caught because the criminal protection zone signs provide them a nice prey herd who can't fight back. If they somehow DO wind up being apprehended, the gun charges are dropped and they are let out on an I-Bond.

They have to keep things "equitable," you know ...

Why in the fuck would anyone go downtown to eat or shop ?! Groot and the rest of the social justice warriors have really fucked up this city , but not only the city the entire country. Downtown has nothing to offer other than high taxes and people who armed and ready to rape , rob and pillage. This city is a lost cause and after watching Groot’s press conference on the search warrant gone wrong incident , anyone who does any proactive policing is out of their god damn minds. Search warrants used to be an effective tool in fighting crime , but now they will end your career prematurely.

I think you missed SCC and the commenters point. The point was what a shit hole downtown is becoming. That downtown is reverting back to what it was on the 90’s, you don’t go down there after dark as it’s infested with gangs and violence. I believe that was the point, not that someone somewhere in this large city made a traffic stop. We get what you’re saying, fetal, got it, understood. If you feel like adding anything of substance feel free, but if you're just going to complain that someone somewhere made a stop, I’d encourage you to maybe look at reading comprehension classes, you’ll be amazed at what you learn little guy.

“... the cockroach is a proven survivor.”
Downtown is headed into a total financial and economic apocalypse. I recall Larri encouraging downtown to be an entitled safe space for the restless commuting feral back in April 2019 (“They’re residents of the city, they have the absolute right to come downtown,” Lightfoot said.).

Ok, 5,6,7 or 127 guns removed what’s the point again?
Was this a focused Probable cause traffic mission or independent endeavor?
Arm yourself when downtown...for what, how about avoid downtown or any after sunset activity in areas of lawless feral infestations.
Incase y’all dint know, CookCo has a COPA liaison.

And Please - don’t overload the DSS with found property inventories. It’s hard enough to creatively fill 12 Beats with just 5 or 6 available bodies...in these challenging times, especially when your Contract is being ignored by the angry dwarf tree toad.

Revelation:
The “fifth” trumpet brings a five month period of torment on the unbelievers of the earth.
I think we’re on the nineteenth trumpet by now.
The torment is Larri and “it” is real.

I read that some Portland Oregon cops were also federally deputized. When they catch ANTIFA attacking them and find they are felons, they arrest them on federal charges. Is there a way to federally deputize CPD POs? That would take control of these repeat gun cases away from Foxx. Instead of getting out in a day, they would get out in 10 years. In the long run that would save the city, county, and state a lot of money. Let the federal courts and federal prisons handle these gun cases.

Few years ago on Christmas Eve the typical mutts were marching up and down Michigan Ave just disrupting things for families who were out to enjoy the day. In fact they were running up to car windows, banging on them and making small children hysterical with fear. There were maybe 50 or so disrupting everything and another 50 tagging along and taking selfies, etc.

Well I was on the corner and a Chinese gentleman came up to me and asked what was going on. He said he actually lived in China and spoke heavy broken English. I said they were protesting something but who really knew. I asked him what would happen if this happened in China. He said, and I am not kidding, "oh they would put them in a truck and you would never see them again".
