New Strategy!!! (UPDATE)

You know it must be true because an aldercreature said it:

  • At least five people were robbed during a midday robbery spree yesterday, with victims reporting holdups from ucktown and Humboldt Park to Ravenswood. And three people were robbed at gunpoint during a single incident in Lakeview early Saturday.

    But one alderman is assuring his constituents that Chicago police have a “concrete and collaborative plan” to address the city’s ongoing robbery problem, as police say just one roving band of criminals may be responsible for more than 60 holdups.

    ...

    Ald. Daniel La Spata (1st), whose ward includes some of the areas hardest hit by robberies in recent months, addressed the crime pattern in an emailed newsletter on Friday evening. “It has been a challenging week in the 1st Ward and surrounding communities as a series of robberies has rocked the peace of our neighborhoods and left many feeling scared, angry, and anxious,” wrote La Spata, who represents parts of Logan Square, Wicker Park, and West Town.

    “I spoke with the 14th district commander yesterday around this issue to amplify our concerns. While I cannot share their specific strategies publicly – and consequently jeopardize their chance of success – please know that the 12th, 14th, and 25th districts have a concrete and collaborative plan for addressing this issue,” the alderman continued.

For those new to Chicago, the words "...I cannot share..." means the aldercreature doesn't have diddly-shit and the Department has no fucking idea what they're going to do since Crimesha won't prosecute crime and Evans won't jail offenders and Dart can't even keep track of the thousands released on electronic monitoring.

However, via our Department spies and plugged in readership, we can exclusively reveal the Department's newest and bestest strategy EVER! This will guarantee a crime reduction virtually overnight:

  • MUST CREDIT SCC

    The Department, using creative accounting and some of those 1505 funds, will rent a Frito Lay delivery van.

    Captain JF will be coaxed out of retirement using a combination of cigars and fine spirits along with that south side Sergeant DS. Both will be dressed as delivery guys and sent to the armed robbery hot spots.

    CFD will be called solely as a courtesy before all formal notifications are completed.

No more repeat offenders.

You younger kids can have some of the old timers explain this proven crime fighting technique. We can only imagine the COPA faces after one of these callouts.

UPDATE: Alternate new strategy - let the police pursue and apprehend, like 1299 did the other night. Officers captured all five offenders. Of course, Crimesha refused to approve charges on four of the five, labeling them CI, while the fifth individual charged was a juvenile....and he was home before the officers were.

Hats off to 1299 for overriding the sergeant. That took some large balls.

Oh hell yeah.

We did it on the trains (aka “doing a Walter Jacobson”) working Vice in the 80s and then again on the Westside during the early 90s delivering pies. Nothing beat a “Luigi’s Pizza Delivery” sign on an XL pizza cardboard in the back window of a covert when it was go-time.

Too bad this methodology of crime reduction will likely never be seen again in our lifetimes.

Send this message far and wide. " simply, there is nothing anyone can do" The goal of abolish the police is here. You've won.
The police can't chase, can't use force, swear, or sometimes even question people without huge disipline. COPA runs the department. Let alone this bail reform that's coming in September. On top of the juvenile reform acts from earlier years. We have a bunch of 15 to 25 yr olds who own the streets, night & day. Except it. Second message to send out " wait for the home invasions start" then the politicians will really have to rethink these policies, but they won't. Not to be long winded, but last message " the democrats will sacrifice all twelve million of us in this state, and not change course, that's what leftist do, kill"

….In the 2019 Chicago aldermanic elections, La Spata ran for alderman of the 1st ward, challenging incumbent Proco Joe Moreno. He received endorsements from local community organization The People's Lobby and state representative Will Guzzardi.[7][8] In February 2019, a photograph reportedly from his 2013 bachelor party was released in which La Spata, dressed in a banana costume and with his friends surrounding him in monkey masks, posed with four African-American boys at a downtown Chicago park. Following criticism of the photo as racist, La Spata issued an apology stating "I apologize unequivocally for the photo from my bachelor party six years ago."…. (From Wikipedia)
Since he cannot share the specific crime strategy please share the strategy described above. And why he is a described Socialist.

Before the far left transformation of the City and PD there was a time when a pattern like this would be addressed. A detail would be formed. The bad guys would arrive and commence pillaging. The detail would address the pillaging accordingly and swiftly and that the bad guys wouldn't be doing it again. After this, similar types of these crimes would drop drastically across the board. Simple police work that worked.

Let's be reassured from a guy who couldn't pay his bills, lives in a shack with trees growing out of the gutters, nothing to say but smiles with those camel teeth. Yes, Chicago, rest assured your safe!!! (I mean fucked) HAHAHAHAH. You dumb ass citizens get what you vote for.

Instead of bail criminals should get cash, this will help them realize that if they get a legal job they will receive cash and be able to pay for the things they want. Maybe, just maybe, they will open a business downtown and provide goods and services for all on the new businesses coming.

LOL, "Younger Coppers" are a bunch of idiots if you ask me or should I say a bunch of TikTok idiots. Maybe they are onto something, social media will solve crime. I've been to a few functions and noticed that a group of 6 up to 15 Younger Coppers not paying attention to their surroundings. Why? Because each and every one of them was on their phone or maybe they just had a group chat going among themselves while standing next to each other. I'm so glad I left this great, awesome job that it once was. Towards the end I started hating it.

Does the new strategy involve backing up your officers when they use the appropriate amount of force to make an arrest. Does it involve the offender being held accountable for their criminal actions. It is often referred to as the floyd or ferguson effect. I call it the idiot effect, putting idiots in charge of what constitutes proper policing.

And the city will Clear dozens and dozens of cases with one arrest-- even if Crimesha refuses to approve a single charge on any of the detained.


Alternately multiple people cop to a couple of different robberies each in return for minimal sentencing.

The way I see it...CPD brass is telling the mayor and the alderman crime is down. We know that is a lie. The aldermen are telling the citizenry there is a new strategy. We know that is a lie. The watch commanders and the supervisors are also telling people that efforts are being made to thwart crime. That is also a lie. The state's attorney in Cook County, and Illinois are all telling the media that offenders are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. We all know that is a load of BS. Govenor cheezburger says that businesses are not leaving the state. Everyone knows that he is a chronic BS'r. The media prints whatever they say...and we know most of that is lies.

Just how and when did we become such a widespread collection of liars and BullSh#@rs..?

Oh, so the new strategy is Chicago politicians will now support its police officers? Let them do their jobs without fear of being demonized, fired or prosecuted for having to work in the most violent and politically hostile environment in America? Recognize that cops are only human and are at severe risk physically and financially having to make split second decisions with no malicious intent protecting total strangers who very often are the people committing the violence? Hahahahaha! This was just a dream. Never will happen in Chicago.

You forgot to mention the pointless use of our CPD helicopter (Air One) that flies around and around following the offender’s vehicle(s) as Dude Inc. robs and terrorizes the unwary citizens with impunity. The helicopter is operating at a cost $1800-per-hour. {Clown Emoji} All our department resources and “special” units are useless against 4 peanut-heads that do as they please because the politicians, judges and states attorneys are on the side of Dude Inc.

I’m old and retired, but back in my younger days I was on the list of expert witnesses who testified on behalf of cops being sued in state and federal court. I never made an extra dime testifying, always insisting on a subpoena so I only received my normal pay. I was sworn for 37 years, then worked for the feds (HIDTA). This is what I learned along the way. You cops who are applauding this officer for disobeying his supervisor are doing him/her and other young cops no favor. This cop is the hero of the day, patted on the back, celebrated in the cop bars, and even on SCC. (By-the-way, welcome back). But remember cops are hero’s or zeros, there is no middle ground. If this had gone bad, then where would this cop be? I’ll tell you, although the old timers know the answer, he/she would be explaining to their kids why they have to get use to water instead of milk on their cornflakes.

What always happens is the cops are very supportive for awhile, but with time people move on, the officer is left feeling abandoned. Everyone is tired of hearing about the case, and those who are seeking favor with the administration are openly hostile.

Meanwhile our cop is trying to find a way to earn a living. Cops are not firefighters, few have a marketable trade to fall back on. Jobs are hard to find, and those that are available are not very good.

These aggressive cops always, when asked for an explanation, will offer that “they were just doing their job, getting the bad guys off streets, protecting the public”, etc. When their case gets called, they always have a look of surprise on their faces when the judge tells the defendant to stand, and they realize they are the defendant. Just doing my job is not a defense.

If this had gone bad, like the bad guys hit a tree and died, what would have happened to this officer? Stripped, then fired, then arrested, then sued and a life ruined.

It’s not worth it. Those back slappers encouraging this type of behavior won’t be around to buy milk for your kids nor will they be standing next to you when the judge says “the defendant will rise.“

Do you feel like getting stripped and spending who-knows-how long at call back?
What about all the time in a criminal court where YOU are the defendant?
Does Prison sound appealing to you?

If you do that shit today, this is what you're going to get.

Not that I like the posers with the beards and tattoo sleeves, 5:11 pants and grunt style tshirts, because they are pretty much clueless. However, the reality of "policing" in today's world is that you're going to get fucked over, stripped, sued and incarcerated.
