Explain?

We've got explanations galore:

  • Chicago Police Supt. Larry Snelling must explain why the number of times police officers used force against individuals has significantly increased since 2022, and detail what he is doing to reverse that trend, according to a measure approved by Chicago’s police oversight board.

    Snelling, who took over CPD in September 2023 after being appointed by Mayor Brandon Johnson and unanimously confirmed by the Chicago City Council, must also explain why the number of times officers pointed their guns at individuals increased 44% between 2022 and 2024, according to one of the goals unanimously set for Snelling to achieve in 2026 by the Community Commission for Public Safety and Accountability during its meeting on Jan. 29.

    “It is imperative that CPD provide community members with an understanding and explanation of why these increases have been occurring and what, if anything, the department is doing to identify and address any trends,” according to the goals set by the commission, which has the power to set CPD policy and is responsible for evaluating Snelling’s performance.

Gee, maybe we're seeing the culmination of years of telling people to resist the police? Resist federal officers? That there's some sort of "right" to become physical in their efforts to protest? That they can fight and/or flee from the police with zero consequences thanks to Crimesha's years of not prosecuting the Law as written and passed by the Legislature?

Hmmmm?

When the whole pointing requirement came out (2019 or 2020), you only got an event number. You did NOT have to put that event number into a case or arrest report. (Yes, some sergeants told people to do it even though it was not required. They didn't read the order).

Has the order changed?

Actually, I analyze the stats from CPD. The department has changed the General Order that now a firm wrist lock with absolutely minimal pressure point assist is a TRR.
Second a TRR is reported just when an officer is threatened.
Third the department has hired soooo many 4'10" females that every time they are pushed it becomes a TRR and at least 2 weeks for them on IOD.

The department is toast and Snelling helped advance the problem. He was not a breath of fresh air. Just ask Catanzara.

It doesn't matter where you look, on the live police shows, the internet anywhere. There seems to be a certain group of people (folk) that think Pennsylvania vs Mimms & even the constitution doesn't apply to them!! The officer could be pulling them over because they left their baby on the roof of the car. Or, because the paper temporary tag has an expiration date of 2021. They begin to yell & scream racism, or that they are being harassed for being.......idiots!! That they are being profiled. I'm not the police but after the second time I'm told that my parents weren't married & I'm a racist I wouldn't put myself in that trick bag! But police officers do & they come across (wait for it) actual criminals!! What do criminals do & most of the time carry? For those CPS nongraduates the answer is guns. I know enough that if you don't control certain situations they may/will go bad! I am sure that 99.99999% of officers don't start swinging first nor do they pull guns because they are compensating. It's because certain people (folk) start fighting, fleeing, etc. what the F would you do????? Again not the police but I have family that were & are. They HAVE to control the situation or they could get hurt or die. I'm 2000% behind each of these men & women who choose to go into these situations. Smart citizens know why you're doing what you're doing!! God bless & have Larritorious just answer C to every question! Statistically that's usually the right answer. Back da blue!!

Attention all patriots:

It is time for the silent majority in our country to speak up. The NFL is now a leftist socialist anti-American and anti law enforcement organization.

1. They sang the black national anthem lift every voice and sing. That is UN-AMERICAN! We have one national anthem. Don't like it? GFY and go move to another country.

2. They had this Bad Bunny asshole speak entirely in Spanish. What the fuck is happening to our country now? He had a sign saying "Together We Are America". I don't think so. If you cross the border are you an American? If you are an anchor baby are you an American?

BOYCOTT THE NFL NEXT YEAR.

The useless aldercreatures should be forced to police the community, since they seem to know how we should do our job. It would be interesting to see how the aldercreatures react to the rocks, bottles and lead thrown by community. Or how everyone wants to fight/resist arrest and after they get pulverized into compliance they complain that the police overreacted. Yeah, stick their sorry asses on the street, they’re officers of the peace.

You know, it's odd. In my last interaction with a police officer (over 8 years ago for an illegal left turn), it was nothing short of professional and completely safe. It might have been that all my lights worked, my plate sticker was current, I stopped the car when the lights came on, kept my hands visible and didn't give an attitude when I was told the reason for the stop. Did I get a ticket? Nope - and I said thank you, because I know I was in the wrong and he cut me a break. Some call that privilege. I call it the golden rule.

But "crime is down," right? Well maybe it's because the police are engaging with more suspects.

Or the arrow could be the other way: once crime decreases (for whatever magical, unexplainable reason), people call the police MORE. Because they think there actually is some hope for law and order. It's broken-windows theory, when you start repairing the windows. More calls for service means a certain amount of those calls end in confrontations and use of force.

Lighten up dude. It is an entertainment act. You know what is great about watching the Big Game on TV? You don't have to sit through and watch which ever crappy performance the NFL hires year after year. Plus I don't think putting a Spanish speaking singer on stage at the halftime show of the Super Bowl is some nefarious plot to overthrow America and change who we are as a country. Did I enjoy the Bad Bunny performance? Hell no. But then again the NFL was not looking to get me to watch. They are trying to bring other people, other races into watching the game to expand their brand. So take your tin foil conspiracy hat off. Boycott next year if you want, but I'm here to tell you everything is going to be alright.

Reporting has gone up because the standard for what is a "reportable use of force" has gone down. Ask any consent decree city and they saw the same "trends."

You are correct on all counts. It is absurd that a firm wrist lock is now a reportable UOF. That is the main thing driving the numbers up. All those little things, which did not bring allegations of injury, that were not counted but now are. By redefining what a reportable UOF is, the numbers are skyrocketing. Same with officers having to report their victimization (actions of attacker) on a form that is supposedly used to document the officer’s UOF. I worked in a district where officers were afraid to document attacks and threats against them, and locked up subjects for other actions, because they “could not afford to have any more TRRs.” This is your system Larry. Fix it or know that you are part of the problem.

When officers use force, it is a response to the actions of the person with whom they are interacting.

Snelling should say that the increase in CPD Use of Force actually reflects an increase in the use of force or threatened use of force by the public.

Wrong, dude, it was more than entertainment-it was the radical Left symbolically spitting into the faces of patriotic Americans in this, the 250th year we will be celebrating our independence. The performance featured a genre of music most are not familiar with or are interested in. The attitude conveyed was not of assimilating into our society and sharing our values, but one of conquest and domination, similar to what we see with certain ethnic parades and celebrations. The display of flags of other nations shows their intent to diminish our national sovereignty. The Globalists/Left do not even try to conceal their goal of replacing the majority population (those of European, Christian descent) with foreigners anymore. I suspect this symbolism sailed right over your head. Maybe while you were watching sportsball on tv and buying Made in China team merch., you failed to notice what has been going on the last few decades.
