Something Odd Here

Some questions on this one:

  • Two teenagers are accused of hiding in a downtown Chicago Macy's store after it closed before stealing merchandise. The two suspect have been charged with burglary, officials said.

    The Cook County Sheriff's Department says it happened Monday night at the Macy's on State Street in the Loop. Two people could be seen on surveillance video emerging from inside the store, stealing sunglasses, cologne and clothing before leaving, officials said.

    The sheriff's department says the pair had even drawn a map of the store. 

First, why is the Sheriff's office investigating a property crime on Michigan Avenue?

Second, get a load of this map: 


The scaling is off (obviously) and the spelling leads us to believe these were CPS students.

But the penmanship is actually far better than anything we've seen from CPS students. And the actual planning....with a timetable - did anyone think kids today know how to tell time? Or make a map for that matter?

Occasionally they’ll get called to other larger retail locations or the stores the mutts like to hit…lululemon Sephora Home Depot.

You'll notice this shit started with Dart after Indianapolis and it's suburbs became a "Metropolitan" Police Department. Same thing (years ago) with Vegas, and Camden, New Jersey. Dart sees himself as "Sheriff of the Chicago Metropolitan Police Department," which would encompass Chicago and all the Cook County suburbs. Although, it wouldn't be bad to bid from 007 to LaGrange...

I had a criminology professor, 30 years ago for reference, who pointed out in class that ILLINOIS, Chicago and Cook County are the only large metropolitan city / county in the nation that operate or did until recently the way we do here. Meaning the Sheriff had a hands off or not my problem policy where the city was concerned. Recent changes would appear to indicate a willingness on the Sheriff’s Department to work with CPD to police crime. The question I suppose would be, does CPD, Conehead, and the citizens of Chicago/ Cook County want to the Sheriff’s Department to help?

OT - "The more you do for them, the more they hate you for it."

'White saviors'' use of whistles causes bitter internal rift inside anti-ICE movement

Organizations from Seattle to Maryland tell predominantly White activists to quit 'White Savior' behavior during ICE operations

Groups from Seattle to Montgomery County, Md., are telling mostly White "rapid responders" to back off a dynamic described by activists as "White Savior," reminding them they are not cameo actors in an "action movie" against ICE.

Since last summer, groups including the People’s Forum, the Party for Socialism and Liberation and the Democratic Socialists of America have promoted whistles as part of a broader confrontation with U.S. law enforcement. They have borrowed from whistle-blowing tactics used by socialist and communist labor union groups in Europe.

The People’s Forum and the Party for Socialism and Liberation are funded by an American-born tech tycoon, Neville Roy Singham, who lives in Shanghai and supports groups that have made it their business to foment mayhem and protests in the United States, with a pro-China agenda.

https://www.foxnews.com/us/white-saviors-use-whistles-causes-bitter-internal-rift-inside-anti-ice-movement

[Story beging with a great little video of some white woman blowing and blowing and blowing that stupid whistle - cell phone in other hand probably shooting heroic selfies to show to her 11 cats - this type often "doesn't believe" in children...]

Whistle, nothing. Renee Good and Alex Pretti were deluded into attacking working police on the street as Soros and Singham and all the rest sit back and laugh and hand out more money to their "useful idiots."

Lmao detective KF wasn’t attacked. Just attacked with naughty words. He apparently got into a verbal altercation with 2 other cops who asked him to step outside so they can “kick his ass”. Detective KF stepped outside, and NO fight occurred. Then he called for a squad car and named them in a case report for saying they’d beat him up. What a FUCKING GIANT PUSSY! You’re all morons. First off, if you’re going to fight, just fight. Whether you win or lose, you don’t call for a squad car or file complaints, you just move on with your day, be a fucking man. What an embarrassment this guy is. It’s embarrassing people like this get to wear the same uniform so many brave men and women have worn before. Pathetic.
