Riots? Not Quite
This is what qualifies as a riot in uptown?
If the video doesn't play, it's here at this link.
In any case, some misguided and over exuberant youths toss bottles at one another, some rambunctious horseplay ensues, a few bicycles change hands and a car aerial is wielded like a sword. One person went to jail and according to this Channel 5 report, an officer was slightly injured. It's spreading, without a doubt, popping up in all the finer neighborhoods.
In our opinion, whoever shot the video ought to have skipped the camera and invested in a nice sniper rifle instead.

Looked like a baseball fight, just a bunch of posturing. Wish it was more of a hockey fight, with some actual action.
The video was more comical than disturbing. My favorite part was when the one shithead was running down the street while keeping his already-sagged pants from falling around his ankles. Ya can't bring a knife to a gunfight and you shouldn't attempt to engage in a fistfight while holding up your pants.
Actually, I think it might be the City's most entertaining neighborhood, indeed.
Masters
SCC,
Did you notice the City of Chicago surveillance camera in the trees at the very end?
Cameras stop crime, there is no need for the police!!!
LMAO
Racist police, it's their culture! Since when is it that you can't terrorize the neighborhood?
I wish our cars had cattle catchers. That would solve the problem real quick.
Leland & Sheridan...correct?
It appeared like only 2-3 cars responded.
We need more police!
The cameraman was probably some white, yuppie, urban pioneer who thought it would be great to live in such a "gentrified" location, showing how he is so "beyond" race that he will live in the same neighborhood as they are. After all, there is a Starbucks at Magnolia/Wilson...how bad could the neighborhood be? Now, he's got a condo he can't sell, in a neighborhood that is under siege, in an economy where nobody is buying real estate, and he's stuck on the 3rd floor, watching the animals run free.
I bet that doesn't happen in the surburb he came from...ever. How's that frappacino latte grande tasting?
Uptown has always had it's pockets that are bad areas. Any yuppie who bought a condo because they wanted to be "an urban pioneer" gets what they deserve.
I have cousins who bought condos in Uptown and I told them not to. But hey who am I? I am just some dumb uneducated cop and they are oh so educumated and sophisticated.
Change has arrived!
This video doesn't show the worst of it ... all summer, this corner has been taken over by "exuberant youths" swinging baseball bats and golf clubs at each other. Shots fired about every other night. Bottles and milk crates used as projectiles.
Hats off to the 23rd District cops who serve Uptown. They're the best.
So thats where my bike went.
50 rounds of .308 could have solved a lot of problems.
My finger was itching.
Ahhh youth in the summertime. Just a little pre Olympic mayhem.
Nothing to see here--move along..
we jus havn a good time y0!
mebbe if sum churches or skoolz wur opened at dis hour we can has a place to go.
What a joke! I guess for Uptown this pathetic attempt at bumping chests without making any physical contact is a riot for some liberal idiot.
SCC,
I think the car aerial you refer to may be a golf club. If you click on the bottom right of the video you can see it in full screen mode. It's possible that I'm wrong. It's been known to happen.
Now I'm sure the youths wielding such golf implements were just on their way home from some golf lessons over at the Marovitz Golf course on the lakefront.
While this may not be as riotalicious as the 68 riots I'd hate to be a pedestrian, bicyclist, or motorist caught in the middle of this. Something like this can easily turn into a smaller scale version of some of the video from the 92 riots in LA.
While your sniper rifle comment was amusing, it came to my mind too, I was thinking of something involving military aircraft. It is the Air and Water show this weekend.
Cops clear the street of innocents and then let the products of the public school system rumble. Meanwhile two helicopters approach from the north and the south on Sheridan Road. I'm thinking of something along the lines of Colonel Kurtz in "Uppocalapyse Now".
"I love the smell of napalm in the morning........"
I live in Uptown. I'm just an average civilian asshole who pays his taxes and tries to stay out of trouble.
It's unfortunate that it takes a video to get the media to pay attention to what is going on around here.
Our wonderful alderman, Helen Shiller, wants to use TIF money to fund a fish farm in Uptown. I know, some of you are saying that because I'm Irish I must be drunk. Well I'm not drunk, at least yet, but the fish farm proposal is true.
Think of that. The police department is undermanned and the city is laying off employees yet somehow Uptown needs a fish farm. I'm telling ya. It drives a pirate to drink. It's a short drive.
I've tried unsuccessfully to get the media to pay attention to some other stories around here involving government naughtiness. All for naught or nautical in my case.
The Uptown Update published a story 16 months ago involving a piece of property that has an eight unit apartment building and is being assessed as vacant land. Did any media outlet run with it?
Nope. Apparently the "mistake" still hasn't been corrected by the assessor. One of my neighbors looked after the assessment notices came out a few weeks back.
Perhaps some intrepid media type will see this on your better read site and run with it.
I'm not holding my breath.
For the good cops reading this stay safe boys and girls and keep up the good work. Many of us realize you have a difficult job and incompetent leadership emanating from the fifth floor of City Hall and in your leaky new HQ building on 35th.
Was that from the Uptown episode "Gangland"?
How about the Edison Park fest riots of 2009?
I worked in 23 10 years ago, 10 sector was always full of mentals, crack-heads, homeless, CHA, dope dealing, u name it. . Not much changed i guess. Stupid yuppies bought fancy condos and got the rude awakening !
Baby daddy, comin' to a neighborhood near you, REAL SOON!!!
A taste of the South and West side to the North. Enjoy your new neighbors. They probably didn't have as many chances in life as you...they're just misunderstood.
those poor little guys are just misunderstood. They are apart of a good boy gang. they did however use the "N" word alot which I don't care for at all. That was not cool at all
to the officer who ran after dude at the end.... good for you. for the first car that got there, "ok fellas, its time to go." thats it? its time to go? i understand completley outnumbered. how about, squad a few more cars and a wagon, weve got alot that are going to jail tonight. then once cars get there instead on one of these mutts going to jail 10-15 go to jail... i know with this post i have just become my own worst enemy...the monday morning quarterback. i truly apologize for that and i know i wasnt in the situation but come on... dude spouts off to you it better be you and your partner bailing out of your car after him...hes already broken the law...reckless/disorderly. f'em all. i know everyone is gonna say let the animals be animals.. but in that neighborhood the animals go to jail no matter what. if this was 63rd and ashland or madison and leclaire then let em act like that.. but to be fronted off like that shows complete disrespect to the police... ok, for all of the dogs who hate policework and wanna say f em let em fight and dont mind being made a joke of....let me have it... woof!!
Hi, SCC.
I am an Uptowner and have been enjoying your blog before this incident.I think the "riot" part was intended to be humorous if you look at the original editing on the video. Its more like a pathetic street brawl with golf clubs and bottles. However, people could have gotten hurt nonetheless and who knows how it might have escalated with these guys! In any event, I am glad that the media picked up this video. This is just the latest video proof that our streets no longer belong to law abiding motorists and pedestrians and it must stop! A kid in the neighborhood literally told a resident and off-duty police officer who had filed a police report after witnessing a shooting at 3 p.m. on Montrose to leave if he didn't like it here because he was in "our wicked neighborhood"! Source: www.uptownupdate.com/2009/07/our-wicked-neighborhood.html
Although our alderman's son Brendan Shiller likes to represent people with bogus police suits and this is probably ground zero for COPWATCH, they don't speak for all of us! We need a commonsense police presence and through CAPS, positive loitering, calling shit in and going to court we are trying to do our part.
Please know the CPD is valued here and we want you to get a fair contract and the support you need to do your job safely and well. Some of us are paying over 68% of our property taxes to a Daley-connected developer who is building $400,000 (a piece)units of low-income housing in this real estate market. Some of these apartments will be given away to people on a list kept by the alderman. We want that money to go towards things like public safety, infrastructure and schools as it should. But what Daley wants, he gets.
Law-abiding Chicago taxpayers are being held hostage in their own homes in more ways than one.
What a pussy fight.
The city bends over to protect these mutts over a officer,fuckem the city can have all these mutts run around as if they own the place.
How to clean Uptown
1. Copius amount of napalm
2. Matches
repeat if necessary
they just be playin office
Anyone know about what took place in 022 regarding the odpo? Looking at the event it appears that he may have took his own life for some unknown reason. In looking at the event however, there seemed to be some uncertainties. Info anyone?
Riot?? Looked like a 19A! That shit happens every day on 79th and cottage or 63ard and King drive. Just let the animals kill each other and pick up the parts later. It is not worth getting hurt or the law suits. This is what the future doctors that are going to cure cancer do in thier spare time.
dont they make the same noises in the lunch hall at Stateville?
OC projectors incorporated into the blue lights. Splash those white t-shirts !
who left the gate open???
You got the police force you asked for. Have cop watch handle. 19P.
add a hundred more kids, and its 3pm in my districts at school dismissal time!!!!! nothing new to see here!
4:45am
alcoholism took his life
Screw the napalm..... there should be an AC 130 Spectre Gunship in constant orbit over Chicago.
They have the FLIR technology to track individual offenders and eliminate threats. A little more effective then the Chicago POD cameras.
Check out the AC 130 in action.

For the guy who asked why didn't the first car stop and get out and chase these a-holes, they were outnumbered about 25-1 with jagoffs throwing bottles and wielding baseball bats and a car aerial. Okay Mr. superhero, you get out of the car and run after these guys. That would have been the most stupid thing those officers could do from a tactical standpoint.
Secondly, there was almost no back up. One car after several minutes.
Mr. superhero also criticized the order given by the POs to clear out. Guess what, this is the 23rd District where the alderman's son is a lawyer and makes his living by suing the police department while his mummy sits in the city council with oversight authority of the CPD. If the first car would have done like the good old days and said, "Get the fuck off the street, shitheads, or we'll run your asses over", this video would be on every lousy news outlet in the city and Aldercreature Shiller's little boy would be filing suit against the CPD and the officers.
Please do not criticize the guys that caught this job. They did what they could under the circumstances.
But, you are right about one thing, the animals have taken over the streets and the politicians, plaintiffs' lawyers and federal judges have stripped the police of the ability to do anything about it. Time to buy an Armalite or H-K or just move out of this shitty town.
I only wish cameras were around for some of my(our) shit.
There was all 508 of me with his 507 partner with a billyclub in one hand and pepper spray in another shouting" Come with it."
Do you know why? WE are the Chicago Police.
Kids, the animal only understands violence. When he sees a crazy cracker who is willing to meet that violence, he backs down.
Would we have lost, probably. Did(do) they challenge us, always.
It's about time you guys become the MF'in Chicago PO-LICE.
Learn to call for help when it's warranted, otherwise take care of business.
You don't have to be afraid. We all are. It is our job, it is our legacy.
Work slow down, so be it. I enjoy it. But, it will be a cold day in hell some shitbird intimidates me to the point of leaving.
We are a smarter(really?) department now. I know you guys could find a reason to lock them up.
Quit looking to others and do it on your own!
Thus endeth the lesson
Man, that yuppie film man could have had lots of fun up there with a wrist rocket or BB gun. Those ghetto thugs would be really dancing then..... No sound from either of these toys.
If all of these mopes had legitimate paying jobs, instead of living off free government handouts for generations, they'd have their asses in BED instead of running the streets like packs of rats!
CUT EM' OFF! Why should MY tax dollars fund these blood sucking shitheads?!?!?!? Put their asses to work!
I have to admit. I'm one of those "urban pioneers" in 014. I knew what I was getting into, so I plan accordingly. Never leave to house without at least 2 magazines. I've been praying that these little savages would confront-corner-threaten me but they're all talk. You have to have in your mind that someone is always ready to video/photograph you. You also have to have the correct mindset.
HOW DID THEY TELL EACHOTHER APART?IT LOOKED LIKE THE GUY IN THE WHITE TEE SHIRT AND BAGGY PANTS KEPT SWITCHING SIDES!L.O.L.
OT but funny And they charged her....
IC Woman Calls 9-1-1 Over Fast Food Order
Lang
8-15-09
An Iowa City woman has been charged with using 9-1-1 for a non-emergency purpose after police say she called multiple times to complain about her fast food order.
29-year-old Bambi Shequitia Cox of Broadway Street is accused of calling emergency dispatchers three times from the Riverside Drive McDonald’s the night of July 31st. Cox told the 9-1-1 operator that her food was not fresh, and that the restaurant would not give her a refund. The McDonald’s manager requested Cox’s name, address and phone number, but she refused to give it to him.
Cox is charged with Using 9-1-1 for a Non-Emergency Call. If convicted she faces a maximum of 30 days in jail and a $500 fine. A court date is scheduled for Thursday.

This city is toast.

I bet that doesn't happen in the surburb he came from...ever. How's that frappacino latte grande tasting? lmfao from this post
Right after I posted this, I see that clip on the news and then see it on the blog. I myself have had to call 911 several times when going thru uptown during the day when this crap is blowing up.Funny , we don't seem to be getting many cases from it though.
Despite what I keep hearing from people about crime rising in uptown, we continue to get virtually no cases .There are good probation officers and good judges for that area , but there's nothing we can do if the cases don't make their way into court for whatever reasons.Surely not blaming the police , but lots of these kids need to be arrested , have their cases filed by the State's Attorneys office as opposed to being screened out , prosecuted, convicted and brought into the system. If need be, give them supervision , at least thats a start.Sure, they'll get only supervision or probation, but at least we'll have them and can violate and send away the ones who don't get the message . I've always believed you can help some of them, but many just need to be gotten off the street. Now , we are probably going to be redistricted because of lack of activity. Can't wait to see what happens when that new development of 178 units of low income housing opens at the new development at Montrose and Broadway, sure all hell will break loose.Who thinks of these things ?
Many of the low income families are already trying to get new housing because things are getting bad and they're just taking their problems to new areas.
If I knew that I would be on video for every incident at that intersection I would never leave the car or show up late........F that urban pioneer.....he will never sell his condo with the penthouse balcony now! Nice buy!
OT: SCC do you know only 90 people put in for Commander! Thats not very many when you look at the numbers. What does that tell you. Not many want that shit job. There were more applicants for Capt.
if the yuppies want them locked up, let the yuppies sign the complaints. don't get sued. if that's the neighborhood the yuppies want to live in, let them have the neighbors that go with it. what will the POSs get charged with? disorderly? can't do that anymore? reckless conduct? have you ever seen anyone convicted of that? wait til you get sued that will stop that. if the W/C orders it, tell him/her to sign the complaint. Screw them all and take care of yourself because the department does NOT have your back.
Uptown will be the next Lincoln Park.
Simply an OBAMANATION !!!!
Who owns the Alderman's fish farm??
Hey copwatch got what they wanted. Your right yuppies, you can do a better job then us.
PS. this film isn't shit. you should have seen the west side on election night. These guys weren't even shooting.
I think I'll follow in this guys footsteps. Right On this is a true Chicagoan.

15 or so years ago we would've had 3 times as many cars there and we would've had a field day with these little fucks. And it would've been fun.
Funny how times have changed.
Enjoy your new police dept. citizens.You got what you asked for.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!
I/F
This is why no one respects us anymore, and shoots at us, and fights us... I bet no one went to jail as the police just wandered around aimlessly with their hand s in their pockets.
For the untrained eye, I'll explain. This is an example of "Gladiator Training". This activity was common in the CHA developments to prepare the male residents for their film debut in "Prison Yard Riot- Film at 10" or the increasingly popular "Fight at County leaves 8 Hospitalized". No one wants to look like a punk the first yard fight their in. So they practice, and then tomorrow, they practice again. Watch the video and you'll the guy who throws a punch and then falls on his face. How would that look on tv? Practice, Practice, Practice.
I worked the 10 sector 28 years ago - ain't nothin changed!
Stop throwing darts. If we don't get the Olympics, it's your fault. That's silly, silly, silly.
All the baby daddy's are the reason that I moved out of the Southside to begin with.
At least I had more than a decade of peace on the Northwest Side.
Keep up the good work officers. As a fellow City employee, I realize that you have ineffective management.
it looks like a CPS at the end of the day!
TRP
Irish Pirate? Weren't u on yochicago.com
Not even a close comparison to one night on the South Side. This was comparable a snap shot at a family gathering on the South Side.
"i truly apologize for that and i know i wasnt in the situation but come on... dude spouts off to you it better be you and your partner bailing out of your car after him...hes already broken the law...reckless/disorderly."
Time for you to get promoted and transfer up north to show 'em how it's done. Bailing out of the car over this crap when you're the only ones on scene? Only if you want an x-mas furlough. Replay the video and do a where's waldo count of how many po's there were and how many predators were play rioting.

You know that's really not the point. If some unsuspecting white guy happened to walk down this street and got caught up in the middle of this, what do you think would have happened to him. Or worse yet, what would have happened if it'd been a woman or two? The streets aren't safe people, and they've tied our hands. Protect the homeland, because the shitheads are coming. That means YOU 016, wake the fuck up.
if the p.o.'s response had been more aggressive and the video made the news they would be "the chicago cops who brutaly attacked a group of minority pedestrians"
fuck that and the 30 pending.
You got the police force you asked for. Have cop watch handle. 19P.
8/15/2009 05:37:00 AM
Good idea. Let the bleeding heart liberals do our job for a few days and lets see how far the "oh, they are just poor, misunderstood people who never got a chance."
Those pussies from CopWatch would be running for mama withing minutes.
Kinda off topic...Just saw the movie "District 9"...reminded me of the old 009!!
To the concerned citizen Irish Pirate. Its nice to know there are a few conservatives in the area, but you are few and far between. You must know that we are being filmed often by Copwatch and their presence just fuels all the drug and alcohol induced morons that partake in all this shit. Now we are also aware that the concerned citizen will be filming us as well. If more cars had arrived at the same time and a more aggressive stance was taken by the police, chases, batons, pepper spray, emergency takedowns etc, I have a feeling that this tape which was offered up to the media would have been manipulated by them into a "police riot." If you lived in the area from 2003-2007 during the Cline years I'm sure you felt safer. We all felt safer. We've lost three murdered in the line of duty in 12 months under the current regime. Do you know how many were murdered in the line of duty under Cline, zero, unheard of in urban policing. Everything is stacked against us right now, from the president (the Cambridge PD acted stupidly and I myself would probably be shot trying to get into my own house in Chicago, ha ha ha) on down to the mayor, the media and the lawyers. Its like being in a continuous game of musical chairs and everytime the music stops you are without a chair, we're just trying to control how far down we fall.
I like it,
I love it,
I want some more of it.
who left the gate open???
LMAO!! good one.
Yes we can.
A lot of woofing. Nobody really wanted to man up!
Harmless.
To all the Urban Pioneers in 2311:
Your kids will play with those kids when he grows up. Those kids will come to your door and ask your kids to play. There is nothing you can do about it. It is human nature. You can run but you can't hide. Good luck.

Hmmm? I wonder who will and will not be getting paid?
Didn't happen to see any white shirts in those police cars, did ya.
to the officer who ran after dude at the end.... good for you. for the first car that got there, "ok fellas, its time to go." thats it? its time to go? i understand completley outnumbered. how about, squad a few more cars and a wagon, weve got alot that are going to jail tonight. then once cars get there instead on one of these mutts going to jail 10-15 go to jail... i know with this post i have just become my own worst enemy...the monday morning quarterback. i truly apologize for that and i know i wasnt in the situation but come on... dude spouts off to you it better be you and your partner bailing out of your car after him...hes already broken the law...reckless/disorderly. f'em all. i know everyone is gonna say let the animals be animals.. but in that neighborhood the animals go to jail no matter what. if this was 63rd and ashland or madison and leclaire then let em act like that.. but to be fronted off like that shows complete disrespect to the police... ok, for all of the dogs who hate policework and wanna say f em let em fight and dont mind being made a joke of....let me have it... woof!!
8/15/2009 02:41:00 AM
So you want to down a bunch of cars on arrests for this BS? And just in case you missed it, it's all on camera. I digress. Half an hour later, while 3 cars are down on these arrests, DUDE comes back with guns and opens fire (happens all of the time). Now you're really shorthanded because YOU wanted to arrest some shitheads. What if something really blows up then? Those guys still out there aren't going to have much help because of YOU.
Think first! DUDE will be out there again. Screw with them later.
And it has nothing to do with being a DOG! It's called UNDERSTANDING THE SITUATION!
Good call 12:24, fuck that yuppie I'm sure he would be the first to give that tape to the media when one of those animals got their "rights" violated. enjoy the city asshole.
I hope some of the copwatch idiots live there. You're getting the police department you've asked for. Not enough police to respond and the ones that do, won't do a damn thing because of the cameras.
Enjoy your latte, the condo you'll never sell, and best of all, being surrounded by animals. Wow... I wish I was a yuppie liberal pusshead.
Thanks fo the vote ya'll

Amen! I remember the days when a dozen squads and a wagon or two would show up to "persuade" these fine young citizens to get the fuck out.
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh the good ol' days!
…”hes already broken the law...reckless/disorderly. f'em all. i know everyone is gonna say let the animals be animals.. but in that neighborhood the animals go to jail no matter what.”…
8/15/2009 02:41:00 AM
Who’s signing the complaint? Our peace can’t be breached…. I remember that class that the Department gave us. Heaven forbid, you, I or another cop violates “shitheads” civil rights. And in that neighborhood…. Someone is looking out the window with a camera!
Here’s another interesting and plausible scenario for you. Cops get out of the car, the grab shithead, shithead being typical shithead, decides “I aint goin to jails!” and resists/fights.
Sound plausible?
At this point, the very same “concerned citizen” with the camera sends the video to the media, or does the exact same thing: Posts it on Youtube. However, this time it has the caption of “Look at the brutal racists Chicago Police in out lovely gentrified neighborhood”. It will be the last video you see before the Judges in Civil as well as Federal Court hand out your sentence.
Don’t get me wrong! I have locked up hundreds of shitheads, just like this, and worse. But that was in a different time, a different age of “Policing”. An age where WE were right. Today, with this leadership, and politics? Well, lets just say I’m sick of getting CR’s, Suits, Suspended, Trips to IRPA/IAD, Possible Rule 14 violations, worry about punitive damages… And for what? Treating “Shithead” like the animal he is, and putting him in a cage? To me, and a lot of others, it’s not worth it anymore!
Where are the gang teams?
To the p.o. who thinks the responding officers could have done more F-U!! To the citizen filming the future doctors and presidents tuff shit. You are probably the same asshole who who hand over the video to the media and states attorneys office if the same responding officers who of gave these outstanding CPS students a deserving crack. No, the officers did an outstanding job and to those who are criticizing i suggest you show us how to do it or better yet get the COPWATCH motherfuckers to handle them, in my eyes they are not worth risking my life or freedom. NEVER FORGET & FREE COZZI!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No, not a riot.....
The technical term for this sort of urban behaviour is "hum buggin" and "jim-mam'n".
In its fully developed form, it becomes "wilding" when an unfortunate taxpayer wanders into it and is forced to give up "booty" or "cash".
Uptown still sucks.
BOYS being BOYS! Who gives a shit! A bunch of idiots running around doing nothing. I saw much better fights at the Southside Irish Parade. Now those are fights!!!!!!!!!! Been in a few myself in the younger days.
023 is a hidden gem of a district but the 10 sector is all shit. Every element of the ghetto is there (open air drug dealing, gangs, whores,etc).
So, the police pull up and pummel these animals like they would've a few years back and like they should've that night.
What's the news headline then.
Fuck the people in this city. Fuck the people in Uptown. They are just starting to get what they deserve.
Fear not uptown. It's going to get a lot worse and you have no one to blame but yourselves for tearing down a police department that used to keep this shit far away from your homes.
You wanted justice for those "poor ghetto victims of police brutality," well you got it, and then some. It ain't just a news clip anymore. Now it's real life. And when that poor ghetto victim of police brutality smashes your fucking face in because he knows the police aren't going to smash his in, then you'll have your justice.
Because that's what its all about isn't it. Justice. Justice for those poor ghetto rats and justice for the people who thought they had nothing to fear.
23 years on and counting until I can leave says when that first car pulled up they stayed in the car WAY too long. They even allowed part of the group to follow behind them on foot after they made that U turn. They were sitting ducks if one of the group decided to pop off a shot at the car. They would not of even known which dude fired at them because they would not have seen a thing from behind. The group realized that the first car was not taking any action and continued to perform. They did not begin to leave until they heard the other cars coming. Be careful if you are still INSIDE of a car and there is an uncontrolled situation around you. All the reason more to BACK EACH OTHER UP OUT THERE!!! Don't wait until the first car calls for help to start going. You hear the radio just start heading that way on your own if it sounds important enough. Thats how I remember it being when I was new and learning the job. An old timer from the 60's showed me then that the streets belong to the police not the gangs and we can shut a street down whenever we need to. Thats still possible now if you know how to do it. Be careful and stay safe.
Riots of edison park fest 2009..lol. Although I did see some undesireables who obviously don't live here, frequenting the grounds of our fine neighborhood.
It's still a crime for you guys to just grab them because they look like they're up to no good..how about if the residents do it?

That's what I'd have done in the '80s when we had the manpower. Now, you try to grab 10-15 of 'em and you're going right into a no cars available or an Emergency plan. For what?
With the current manpower shortage and reassignment of tactical teams and special units to other areas of the city, this is the expected results in the stripped districts. The Stuttering Prick and Fed Fraud knew this would happen and don't care. Remember that at election time!
Let the disadvantaged peeps have their fun while the rest of us suckas watch our neighborhoods burn. Civilization and the rule of law are overrated. Even if all these playahs were arrested, charges would be dropped in Crook County court resulting in more law-abiding citizen's tax $$$ paid out by the Shitty for false arrest. And heaven forbid if the police responding actually cracked some deserving skulls, the same fools taping this shit, led by J-Fraud, would be screaming to lock up the officers on civil rights violations. Maintain and NOTHING more. Thus ends the lesson.
Masters, Masters, Masters.

Hey, who ever took this video do your self a favor: STOP TAPING. The police aint going to TCB if they u keep taping. Dummie.
Ya, like the 023 W/C really gona take in 20 Disorderly arrests. u must be crazy.
Truly disgusting!!! Dont know why we fight so hard to keep the city safe??? The animals need a better fence to keep them in one place. City would be better off if we put up BIG electric fences and housed the animals where they belong. In a cage.
The same criminals and gangbangers rioting one el stop away from Lakeview are the same criminals and gangbangers terrorizing Lakeview and Lincoln Park. Keep all neighborhoods safe by getting rid of the gangs in Uptown, as well as their leader and the biggest criminal of all, Helen Shiller. They are just one el stop and mere minutes away.
Get rid of management! Maybe if they took some of the management babies off of days and put them on the watch they deserve crime would go down. There are people on this job that actually did work for a living and have to wait for 10 to 20 years of service to see sunlight. The department is short a couple thousand and refuses to hire enough to make up for the retired, the sick, and the fired/resigned. That dorky gang war was in liberal land. If that happened in Mt. Greenwood there would be a row of shotguns by volunteering off duty POs.
Christopher Harris, 20 of the 6200 block of South Paulina Street, was charged Friday with first-degree murder. He was ordered held without bail today by Circuit Court Judge Peggy Chiampas.
Now that is a Judge that should be in the Supreme Court!
it is nice to see that south side residents are movin on up!
send the real police.
I'm glad I work the south side. This happens all the time and you never hear about it.
Your CAPS meetings really gotta suck up there.....
OT: But how many more times do we have to watch the thunderbirds fly by. Yes-nice 1 time but really who gives a shit that they fly over Wrigley Field 11 times during a game. Enough already. Do your formation at the "show" and see you next year. JEEEEEEESSSSSSSUUUUUUUUS!!!!!!!!!!!!
O/T: Heard that the third offender in the P.O. Valadez murder was charged?? What third offender? WTF??? This was some secret.
Having secured the west and south sides in their fervent, grass roots campaign to elect a democratic president and take over congress, the liberal establishments most passionate canvassers now move to the north side, where they are welcomed by their yuppie brethren to spread the good word about their progressive agenda, equal access to health care and democratic ideals. Somewhat overzealous in their youthful exuberance, police officers attempt to calm them, aware of the long legacy of abuse their institution has waged against these innocent zealots.
Sometimes the sheep out there need to see the wolves in action in their own neighborhoods before they let the sheepdogs come in and take care of things. I hate to say it, but it is those litiginous yuppies that tied our hands in the first place. They'd better decide soon they want the old school police back, before we retire or kill ourselves.
Even though this was a pathetic attempt of a free for all. It is the beginning in this neighborhood and others across the city of what is to come. When the beast no longer fears the police, anarchy will reign. The bottom line is THANK GOD FOR A MOSS-BERG 12 GAUGE SHOTGUN!!!!!!
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess these guys are part of the 40 million Americans uninsured right now. Nothing, nothing is more important than changing the laws to make sure they get free health care.
Elephant in the room? What elephant in the room? There is no elephant in the room.
looks like patrick kane trying to get his 20 cents change back from the cabbie---- big woo woo fight---
I would just like to say let this video remind us to act like someone is ALWAYS video taping our actions. And lets not forget the average video camera has a great zoom lens as was demonstrated in this video. A few cuts and splices in any video can make us look very very bad even when we act professionally or just try to protect ourselves. Stay safe brothers.
Im glad I don't live in that neighborhood. Too bad it didn't occur in a district where real police work cause you would have witnessed some real ass kickin going on!!!
Shit where I work we'd just run all of their dumb ass over with the car. Get out of the street. The street is for cars!!!
This video is only disturbing if you live there in Uptown. That area of the city has always been overloaded with Sec 8/ Gov't subsidized housing, criminals, and mentals. So if you thought you could buy there and they would all leave, well your just plain stupid.
To post 1:09am 10 sector full of mentals, homeless, crackheads, dope dealing and CHA sounds like the 7th district to me welcome to our world everyday all day!!
warriors... come out and play!
OT
Everyone needs to take a look at this one...priceless.
http://councilexpenses.apps.chicagotribune.com/
How much each alderman has pissed away on whatever they wanted to, plus a short bio on each alderman.
For instance, Burnett, who in the hell is Joe Steiner and why did you give him nearly 20 thousand dollars last year?
Also nice little piece on him showing he got Executive Clemency in 1998 for being an armed robber as a kid.
Another gem of an alderman, the cream of the crop in Chicago.
All in the Daley family.
All across the North Side of Chicago there are small pockets where gangs, drugs, and violence thrives. And because we are undermanned, all of our resources go to the West and South Side. And guess what? While the gang teams, tact teams, etc... are busy in the West and South Side, the bad guys are quickly expanding their territory.
Good going Daley and Weis.
ot... man hearing those jets. i was hoping there was going to be an air strike on the south and west sides. too bad it was just the air and water show...
The Brothers in the 'Wood are weeping in their 40's over that pathetic showing of wannabe! Nobody had a MF*Itchy stashed anywhere? WTF? And Officers. . . great use of your loudspeaker and airhorn. Next time, try putting a dozen or so on your hood. LAME!
The camera man should have thrown a basketball in the street, that would have taken care of everything.
You call that a fight???? I saw better punches thrown when "Crabs" Corcoran and "Lightloafers" Littleton got into a fight at Beatrice's over a spilled shot of Kessler's.
Everyone from 023 should have to spend one period of the year in 007 or 015. Maybe then they will learn that Ronnie Woo-Woo is not the scariest black man around.
The gun turn in was a total dud this year. I think it was the drop in $50 from $100 for handguns/shotguns/etc this year that did it.
And people such as friends and family that have never lived in the City look at me like I'm crazy when I say that I don't want 1's living anywhere near me (The Huxtables being the ONLY exception).
They are oblivious to the true nature of the beast and all the shit these people bring with them regardless of where the government puts them.
More video of this nature needs to be disseminated constantly so maybe, just maybe, the liberal jagoffs finally open their eyes and see that they've been championing a losing cause when rallying to the aid and defense of this "discriminated-against race".
I would've done the same thing the 023 guys did upon arriving. Blow the air horn to hopefully scatter the natives. I ain't getting out of the car unless I'm being threatened directly in some way. Otherwise, let the animals slither off into the darkness to return again when po-po rolls off.
And I haven't heard "Lights Out!" in quite some time. To me that means that 023 probably has inherited some of the West Side's finer citizens, if ghetto dialect is specific to location, that is.
Either way, enjoy your neighbors, Mr. "I Probably Should've Looked At This Neighborhood Sometime After 2P.M. Before I Closed On My Condo".
And if I were a bettin' man, I'd throw a G-Note that your soon-to-be built Fish Farm will consist exclusively of Catfish.
This "riot" couldn't be a pimple on the ass of what was the first 2 Bulls riots on the West and South Sides, with Humboldt Park being a close third.
Sorry, old-timers, I wasn't around for the convention riots, so I can't speak for those, although I KNOW they were much worse than the Bulls(hit).
Enjoy co-habitating with the savage, Mr. Video Camera. We (the real police) have been trying to warn you liberal pukes for quite some time about what was coming around the bend. We've just about begged you to let us "take the gloves off" and handle business they way it's supposed to be handled, but we wouldn't want to offend anyone - ain't that right?
And here's the conundrum....will the police that used to handle business decide it's worth it to stick their necks out when we're (hopefully soon) unleashed? The vast majority of the police hired and trained in the last several years are useless when it comes to taking care of business, and not too many of those that can are willing to train these idiots the proper way of dealing with this shit. The old-timers have hung up their hats and put on cruise control, riding safely to their retirement while the newer kids will never be taught anything other than being warm and fuzzy and the like.
This city is doomed and I'm glad I'll be long gone away from it in just a few short years.
Stay safe, brothers.
Please...
The very second some coppers take care of business the old fashioned way, these same people who are amazed by how the "white tee shirts" are doing the fool with impunity will fall over each other providing video to the media to help j-fart drag yet more Policemen up a gnarled, knotty pine for crucifixion.
People are now real quick to talk shit about Policemen "not doing anything" or being "scared." It's not quite that simple. No copper in his/her right mind is going to risk their job and freedom (sin and a shame what happened to Ofc. Cozzi) thereby jeopardizing being able to provide food, shelter and support to their families and loved ones. No, we're not necessarily afraid but we're far from stupid as some people wished we were. We're just making a justifiable and reasonable effort in self preservation.
It seems as if the Policeman fights back or strikes a hard blow for himself, in the defense of others or in the name of the law, the collective audience gasps "how dare you strike such a blow, Policemen shouldn't be able to do that!"
For those who consider the current detached method of policing to be selfish, we say fuck you. You're no better than the politicians and exempts elbowing each other for the front row to shed false tears for bright lights and cameras at a Policeman's funeral. They love to talk about our "willing" sacrifices but get upset when we do what needs to be done to survive.
It seems as if it's alright to take a bullet, get spit on, have things thrown at you and put up with the blatant public and institutional disrespect that would drive the average person mad! Policemen endure this for 20 to 40 plus years yet people talk shit about "sweet pensions" "early retirements" and "hidden money."
Get over yourselves. We've collectively earned every penny of this comparative pittance and have a litany of broken/dislocated/torn-up/surgically repaired-replaced/worn out body parts to prove it along with the friends and comrades who died by the hands of others, by their own hands or just succumbing due to the pressures of the job.
The blame for the current state of affairs in this city rests squarely on the shoulders of the mayor, the aldermen the superintendent with material aid given by the news media.
The mayor is a petty and vindictive man who has openly vowed to destroy C.P.D for personal and political reasons. He only has some pause now because his plan has worked too well. As long as bloodshed and bullshit is confined to areas like Englewood, Austin, Lawndale, he didn't give a shit if it spread to neighborhoods where Policemen, Firemen and most city workers lived.
The superintendent is vicious, a liar and bereft of any decency, humanity, character or courage. He should humbly hold his hat in his hands and genuflect upon the tops of his shoes WHENEVER he dares to cross a POLICEMAN'S path. He mocks us, he mocks those Stars in the display case and makes them to stink when he wears OUR UNIFORM! We have no trust and no use for this reptilian.
Grandfatherly wisdom dictates we beware of a man who can't look you in the eye, shake your hands or sit and have a drink in the company of MEN and talk as only MEN can.
Now the bloodshed and bullshit is beginning to spill over into areas like Lincoln Park in loud, vivid colors and the $20k to $70k property tax payers (read as BIG MONEY CONTRIBUTORS to the local democratic machine) who were under the spell of the "magick odours and enchanting musick" spewing from the Daley colon are waking up and realizing that they're actually being bullshitted and shitted on just like us common
folk and they're not too happy about it.
The CITIZENS who pay the disproportionate amount of freight in this city need to stand up and say WE NEED OUR POLICE TO BE THE POLICE, POLITICALLY CORRECT CONSIDERATIONS BE DAMNED...
Off topic:
As I sit here on my deck, I think about Cozzi sitting in Federal prison, I reflect upon poor Cozzi. Ruth Wedster is in violation of federal law, Burger Queen is a moron, Cuello has property which should be seized as an asset. WWWWTTTTTFFFF!
To the guys in 23, be warned this guy is filming all the time. Click on his name in SCC'S main post and you will see another video when 2 P/O's arrive. They made 2 m/4's pick up a garbage can that they had knocked over. Be warned, you are being taped here.
To the poster who asked if I've posted at YoChicago the answer is yes.
To the poster who assumes I am a conservative..........NO.
I'm neither a conservative nor a liberal. I believe in doing what works and being realistic about human nature.
If you want to improve American Society you can follow these steps:
1. School vouchers. Let the parents decide where to send their kids.
2. Legalize and tax drugs. The drug war is a failure and causes more problems that it solves. Treat it as a public health problem. Better yet give the assholes in society all the drugs they want and send in the bulldozers to clean up their bodies after they overdose.
3. Legalize prostitution. I'm ugly and I need all the help I can get. It's another human nature issue. Just regulate it and try to make sure the people who are involved in it are doing it voluntarily and of legal age. Also try to discourage them from political careers after they leave the sex industry.
4. I'm not a big fan of weapons, but I used to be in the Army and the older I get the more important the Second amendment seems. I see what's happening in Iran and realize the importance of decent people having the right to own weapons. Plus a nice shotgun would come in handy if some nefarious person decided to break into my place.
5. Increase the public corruption fighting arms of various Federal agencies. Give the Feds some more accountants to look at various governmental books. They might even find some corruption in local government here in Chicago. Perhaps.
6. If you're receiving some form of governmental assistance birth control is mandatory. Hell, I'd even consider "licensing" parents, but if that had happened in the past the government would have forcibly given my dad a vasectomy and I'd never have been born.
7. Retroactive abortion. There are always loopholes in abortion laws so it's better to refer to it as "R.A" than the death penalty.
8. I know a little about policing and I'd let cops "shift" over to other governmental jobs if they got burned out on law enforcement. It's a nasty job, particularly in an urban department. Let's say someone does 10 years as a Chicago Cop. Let them move over to driving a city truck if they want to. They can just move their pension over. I wouldn't limit the jobs the cops could shift into. Essentially police would get first crack at other city jobs and NOT lose their pension rights.
Perhaps the "City that Works for Some" could even institute a "reserve" police program where such cops could still work for the city and keep their hands in law enforcement.
Too many cops stay on the job for the pension. Let them leave with some financial security.
9. Did I mention that whole legalizing hooker thang? I really like that one.
10. See number 9
Oh well. I'm going out now. We'll see if a one legged man can find a woman tonight. Wish me luck because otherwise I'll have to utilize the internet to find a hooker.
Animals!!! they are everywhere and we dont have the number to combat them ,,,we need more MANPOWER!!!!!
The City of Chicago will basically be closed for business on Aug. 17, a reduced-service day in which most city employees are off without pay, according to a release from the Office of Budget and Management. City Hall, public libraries, health clinics and most city offices will be closed.
Emergency service providers including police, firefighters and paramedics will be working at full strength, but most services not directly related to public safety, including street sweeping, will not be provided, the release said.
That also includes garbage pickup. Residents who receive regular collection on Mondays should expect trash to be picked up the following day, the release said. Some other customers may experience a one-day delay as collectors catch up.
You got the police force you asked for. Have cop watch handle. 19P.

Amen!
Fuck it the cops cant lock anyone up for disorderly anymore what the fuck you want? Fuck this city
yuppies got what they wanted. Cops that won't do anything anymore for fear of civil or criminal charges and savages running around completely out of control.

Just thing, they'll be dating your children soon.
Hahahahahahahahahaha!
to the officer who ran after dude at the end.... good for you. for the first car that got there, "ok fellas, its time to go." thats it? its time to go? i understand completley outnumbered. how about, squad a few more cars and a wagon, weve got alot that are going to jail tonight. then once cars get there instead on one of these mutts going to jail 10-15 go to jail... i know with this post i have just become my own worst enemy...the monday morning quarterback. i truly apologize for that and i know i wasnt in the situation but come on... dude spouts off to you it better be you and your partner bailing out of your car after him...hes already broken the law...reckless/disorderly. f'em all. i know everyone is gonna say let the animals be animals.. but in that neighborhood the animals go to jail no matter what. if this was 63rd and ashland or madison and leclaire then let em act like that.. but to be fronted off like that shows complete disrespect to the police... ok, for all of the dogs who hate policework and wanna say f em let em fight and dont mind being made a joke of....let me have it... woof!!

In terms of a riot or civil disturbance, the Bulls victory riots and even the 1968 Democratic Convention can not compare with the violence of THE RIOT in 011 and the West Side after the assassination of MLK on April 4, 1968.
On a city-wide basis, the video of Leland and Sheridan Rd. is nothing more than a common street disturbance.
"If some unsuspecting white guy happened to walk down this street and got caught up in the middle of this, what do you think would have happened to him. Or worse yet, what would have happened if it'd been a woman or two? The streets aren't safe people, and they've tied our hands. Protect the homeland, because the shitheads are coming. That means YOU 016, wake the fuck up.
8/15/2009 10:30:00 AM"
1- There is no such thing as an "unsuspecting white guy", only stupid dumbfucks with their heads permanently affixed within their anal cavities.
2- There is no exception made for gender, ethnicity, race or sexual preference to the above reality.
3- You live in this city, you better keep your head where you were born with it, which, except in rare cases, is not lodged firmly within your own ass pipe.
To the p.o. who thinks the responding officers could have done more F-U!! To the citizen filming the future doctors and presidents tuff shit. You are probably the same asshole who who hand over the video to the media and states attorneys office if the same responding officers who of gave these outstanding CPD students a deserving crack.
DONT DO ANYTHING!!!! The worst SAVAGE is the one who was filming that video.
"23 years on and counting until I can leave says when that first car pulled up they stayed in the car WAY too long."
Did you catch this from behind your desk?
you think that was bad u should have worked safe streets friday nite in the 15th dist. Out of control. we have lost this city under JFED. we cant bust heads anymore like the good days. guys it was bad. never in 15yrs have i ever saw thing this bad, god help us when the shit hit shit hits the fan. not even 100 cooters could save us.
How many missions will the 3rd watch captain (Lemmer)run now? Probably 15 instead of his daily6-9missions! The police in 023 are too busy with missions to actually do some policework like arresting these jagoff animals!
"It's still a crime for you guys to just grab them because they look like they're up to no good..how about if the residents do it?

For the guy who asked why didn't the first car stop and get out and chase these a-holes, they were outnumbered about 25-1 with jagoffs throwing bottles and wielding baseball bats and a car aerial.

Hey, easy there. It could've been Henny Penny from 011 asking! That's what she did on her first night out as street deputy.....ask why the officer in the one-man car on scene at a street brawl of 30+ wasn't out of the car when she drove up............

The liberal in the SUV was slowing down to donate some cash to the wild animals because they feel bad for them.
Ha ha ha!!! Did 3 people just get shot right about here on early Sunday morning? That would be too perfect.
can someone explain the police didn't try to take names, ID faces or take a video., as a citizen whos live in the mist of this can I feel that someone is keeping a more proactive?
What can I do to be more proactive? I feel like I need to own a gun, do the gangs run Chicago, if there is no hope just let me know, but stop with the parades after a shooting and is this the case that the police just can't do anything?
I am so confused and lost.
Three wounded in Uptown shooting
CHICAGO (STNG) -- Three people were shot early Sunday while driving through an alley in the North Side Uptown neighborhood.
Having secured the west and south sides in their fervent, grass roots campaign to elect a democratic president and take over congress, the liberal establishments most passionate canvassers now move to the north side, where they are welcomed by their yuppie brethren to spread the good word about their progressive agenda, equal access to health care and democratic ideals.

Wow. We have a F-22 Raptor pilot on the CPD. Walter Mitty come back to reality!
When are you whinny handjobs going to realize "The Real Police", never existed?
You cant DC anyone? Really? Read the new general order DOG.
Can't RC anyone(that's reckless conduct recruits) prove it.
The "old" coppers and the new Centurions have always known how to play the game. The old school guys are the ones who taught me how to write paper. What is your excuse?
Did you ever really take care of business? I doubt it. You have always been an asshole and the work slowdown makes you feel accepted.
You are the bitch who states, I woulda kicked his ass if it weren't for the cameras. Really? I worked with you in the old stations and you were still a bitch
Grow the f-bomb up and help out coward.(grow up means half you wimps who started out at over 35 and have not done a thing since)
I am not a tough guy. I am just a Joe who still knows what it means to be employed and, what it means to be the Chicago Police.
Quit embarassing me.
To bad the gang and tact teams from Area 3 are on the south side or west side the majority of the time. And they have been detailing these teamsout to the west and southside for the last 6 or 7 years.
Too bad Englewoodians don't film what happens in their "battery in progress" fights...bottles, sticks, knives, 2x4's, chains, pipes, razors, shovels!!!! :) This was nothing compared to what happens in the ghetto. God I hate this city!

NOPE, LAST I CHECKED WHEN COMMANDER GREEN TRIED TO GET SOME HELP AFTER NUMEROUS SHOOTINGS, WE WERE DEPLOYED TO THE 15TH DISTRICT. DEPUTY SUPERINTENDETN CHEWED OUR COMMANDER A NEW ASS AND HAD US REMOVED FROM 15. THE BEAT CARS ARE JUST FUCKED, NO MATTER WHAT THE COMMUNITY DOES, THE GANG BANGERS HAVE HISTORICALLY TAKEN OVER AND ARE JUST GETTING WORST, AND THAT DISTRICT HAS NO REAL RESOURCES. JFED TOOK ALL THE AGGRESSIVE OFFIECERS LIKE ME FROM THERE AND LEFT THAT DISTRICT AND ALL CITYWIDE FAST DISTRICTS WITH SHIT!
Last I remember, Jfed took all the aggressive officers, put them in Gang Enorcement, TRU and MSF. All 3 are worthless units. What you should have done was made sure all the Districts had compelte manpower, then created your bullshit units that all three units that target the exact same things.
You take us tact people out of district, send us to details and then you send TRU or Gang Enforemcent to cover our District. They don't know the key players, they are hit or miss. The community keeps seeing these new people that they don't know and are afraid to help or talk to. You send us out to just sent them in? How about send them out since they have no commitment to our District or to this community, let our officers stay here so they can do some real work and leave us the fuck alone wiht your bullshit tactics that work in 018 and 016 but have no place in 3,4,5,6,7,8, 11,15 oh yeah, and now 22. 22 has now beat 6 in crime. Look it up!

Emergency service providers including police, firefighters and paramedics will be working at full strength, but most services not directly related to public safety, including street sweeping, will not be provided, the release said.

Will this day include alderman? H Alderpersons and their staff receive a raise along with a budget increase. To pay for the raise, give everyone a unpaid day off. makes sense. Also, layoff 300 low paid civilians.
That looks EXACTLY like my family on Christmas after a few brewskis.

3 shot in the 1200 block of leland
All those kids playing in the street and no contact cards! Haven't my new captains taught you anything? Heads are gonna roll.
Three people were shot early Sunday while driving through an alley in the North Side Uptown neighborhood.
About 4:50 a.m., three males, whose ages were not available, were in a vehicle traveling through an alley in the 1200 block of West Leland Avenue, police News Affairs Officer Amina Greer said.
An unknown offender approached the vehicle on foot and fired shots, striking one person in his arm, one in his thigh and grazing another, Greer said.
The three males were taken to Weiss Memorial Hospital with non life-threatening injuries.
No one was in custody as of 5 a.m. and Belmont Area detectives are investigating.
Oh it isnt Engleweird or Fillmore so it doesnt count right Ghetto Warriors? Thanks for making a difference every day, it really,REALLY SHOWS...
PLEASE post this video on you tube, let the real bangers from southside and westside see the idiots we have up here. they can take care of them. instead of golf clubs or bottles, they bring 9mm. and problem solve. POLICE OFFICER-GREAT JOB...YOU NEVER know WHO IS WATCHING OR TAPING YOU. had the police taken the rightful action...the video would have been titled "CHICAGO POLICE BEATING HONOR STUDENTS WHO WERE TAKING GOLF LESSONS". citizens--do you see and understand why the police is affraid to take action???
On the website Uptown whatever it is....
It's funny as to how "shocked" these people are over the "element" in which they SHOULD have never moved around in th e first place!
Dumbasses!
Do the rest of the City workers a favor and buy out Northwest like us and SPARE us this happening at Devon/Central!
For the last few months 023 has had a car sitting at the whole foods....................why???????
Check your pdt and you will see this car detailed there
Now had an officer made contact with one those "spineless, can't fight, dick-sucking pussies" that would have been a story.
The police handled that the right way although I would loved to put my baton down those pussies throats.
…”hes already broken the law...reckless/disorderly. f'em all. i know everyone is gonna say let the animals be animals.. but in that neighborhood the animals go to jail no matter what.”…

Who’s signing the complaint? Our peace can’t be breached….
----------------------------
The news had some woman who was a waitress in a nearby restaurant when this broke out...she could sign the complaint. There's your disorderly. But, that's just a class C misdemeanor (only 30 days max in jail). But, they could be charged with reckless conduct (police can sign the complaint) or mob action. Both Class A misdemeanors (364 days in jail). Just a tip!
You take us tact people out of district, send us to details and then you send TRU or Gang Enforemcent to cover our District. They don't know the key players, they are hit or miss. The community keeps seeing these new people that they don't know and are afraid to help or talk to. You send us out to just sent them in? How about send them out since they have no commitment to our District or to this community, let our officers stay here so they can do some real work and leave us the fuck alone wiht your bullshit tactics that work in 018 and 016 but have no place in 3,4,5,6,7,8, 11,15 oh yeah, and now 22. 22 has now beat 6 in crime. Look it up!

I guess that means that you're useless where they send you. You don't know the key players and it's just hit or miss when you're there.

Could is a lot different that would.

There are no "near by restaurants" you nit wit. A ghetto fast walk in food place but that was long closed. To all u off duty Po's, boss' and other city folks that flagged me down years ago and asked if they should by a condo here, 2312's beat. I said NO, don't do it. But u all did cause u wanted to make a fast buck and now ur stuck in a mini uptown ghetto. Told u so.
PS: Edison park fest was great this year.
"Anonymous" 6 (or sixth anonymous in the comments list), you said:
"The cameraman was probably some white, yuppie, urban pioneer who thought it would be great to live in such a 'gentrified' location, showing he is so 'beyond' race . . . "
I'm the guy who filmed the footage. It's not spilling my latte or property values I worry about. I worry about the hard-working families who were trying to cross the street at 9:10PM when they had to take cover from a hail of glass bottles; the kids who were returning from playing ball in Arai park when they witnessed this; the couples who were out enjoying the great weather that evening and had to turn back. Not to mention the people who had to flee the bullets that were fired the following night. This is what I care about. I care about the welfare of the people around me. And you should too.
PS: I'm from Detroit.

To bad the gang and tact teams from Area 3 are on the south side or west side the majority of the time. And they have been detailing these teamsout to the west and southside for the last 6 or 7 years.
8/16/2009 10:10:00 AM
Never seen them on the west side. But it explains why there are no breaks given to police at any eatery, gas station or convience store any more there.

Right after I posted this, I see that clip on the news and then see it on the blog. I myself have had to call 911 several times when going thru uptown during the day when this crap is blowing up.Funny , we don't seem to be getting many cases from it though........blah..........blah...................blah.........................blah.
8/15/2009 08:34:00 AM
I read your other posts.
(1) Good judges in juvenile court? You are joking, right? Day after day I see those judges letting these honor students pillage the community, after committing heinous crimes. Maybe the judge should buy a cake to celebrate the honor student's completion of probation? Oh, yeah, it happened, and he picked the cake, took the plates and utensils, and left the court to the judge's surprise, while all 10 arresting officers on at least 5 cases laughed.
(2)Competent Juvenile Probation Officers? Yeah, I have not found one that will violate, and advocate a deviant be sent to St. Charles for numerous violations, unless newsworthy of course... Nix that one. What happened to the juvie that was on probation for impersonating the police, got arrested and extended probation again for impersonating the police after driving a squad car in 003, then arrested for stealing a car and leading police on a car chase? 18 months probation??? Keep up the good work. Be careful, we might give you quadruple probation if you fuck up again!!!!!!!!

Just about all city employees are ready to lynch Shortshanks. Ever since the Shackman Decree our lot has been going down hill.
Next election, get all those pissed off workers to join the Revolution and sweep the bastards out of office and kick the 'Lymics.
Make the politicians FEAR US.
To Joseph the guy from Detroit who filmed the video, GET USED TO IT!!!! That is the police service you will keep getting and I don't blame the responding officers one bit on how they handled the situation. Until you uptown liberals stop filming the police, as a community protest and demand the police bust heads, get rid of b.s. cr#,indemnify officers from punitive damages, demand command staff and politicians back the police 100% when dealing with these misunderstood youths, etc... this will be the police force you wanted. You made your bed now sleep in it.

Hey, buddy, don't knock that walmart gig, there's a lot more eye candy there than at the local drink & drive.

So why did you bring only a video camera with you to the scene of all this mayhem?
"Or worse yet, what would have happened if it'd been a woman or two?"
Rioting in the street? Not sure. If they had DLs, maybe an ANOV?? If not, an arrest??

You'll be a Walmart greeter consultant? Swell. Glad you're on our side, Top Gun.
I know people need the money but if nobody signs up for that safe city nonsense, the city will see how fed up we all are. Work special or anything else but don't let the city get the best of us. Cops working safe city just means more complaints and lawsuits on your days off.
22 has now beat 6 in crime. Look it up!
I can't, I don't have access to a computer.
Dogs don't bark when Nutter is on the Beat. Bow wow wow.

True but all the young wonder kids need the bucks,and if they get sued are assured the bosses have their backs,albeit with a twitsing knife,and a "see you at YOUR fundraiser mentality"!
And this mess was the lead story on channel 7 news tonight? Hah!
The same thing happened twice last week just west of Humboldt Park in 014.
I guess we're used to it, though.
Did anyone find my golf club yet????
