The Bigger the Lie...
Gang loitering, intimidation, flash mobs and violence had nothing to do with the Chicago Police Department’s unprecedented decision to close North Avenue beach on a sultry Memorial Day, Acting Police Supt. Garry McCarthy said Wednesday.
One day after Mayor Rahm Emanuel blamed a surge of calls about patrons suffering from heat exhaustion for the beach closing, McCarthy stood at the mayor’s side and agreed.
Asked point-blank what role, if any, gang activity or violence played in Monday’s 6 p.m. closing, McCarthy said without hesitation, “None.”
What we can't decide is if he's lying on his own or getting bad information:
“There was no gang activity involved in the commander’s decision to close the beach. ... It was based upon the public safety concerns where we had to get ambulances to victims on the beach and the overcrowded conditions made it difficult for that to occur,” McCarthy said.
“The folks who showed up at North Avenue, what I was informed of, were suburbanites who were coming to the beach to enjoy a nice day. It was simply an overcrowding situation. It had nothing to do with anything else that was going on.”
By the way, here's Cook County Commissioner John Fritchey's Twitter feed on 31 May:
- Based on a couple of conversations that I've now had, yesterday's beach closure had more to do with crowd control concerns than the heat.
- And if the police can't get a handle on beach safety, there are going to be a lot of problems this summer...
- Even more interesting is that the papers so quickly bought into the heat story without reporting any of the real problems that went down.
- There is a growing problem at the beaches, one that I believe that are trying to keep under wraps.

Oh, nevermind.
How does Garry McCarthy know it was suburbanites that were at the beach? When you go to the beach, you don't have to register or fill out a form with your name and address on it.
There probably were a handful of suburbanites at the beach, all of which will probably never return after getting a bird's eye view of the animalism.
I guess Garry's word for shitheads is 'suburbanites.'
I was downtown working CTA. Had to be at least 2000 gang bangers. Shirts off, hats cocked. "Broken arrow, I repeat Broken arrow." Over.
SCC, The Whopper picture does look delicious. I think i'm gonna go and get me a Whopper.
For a blue shirt that would be a rule 14 violation and you're fired.
For an exempt, it's business as usual. ....same as the old boss.
So much for lead by example.
I must say I'd like to thank the new Supt. For clarifying that the individuals I had previousy thought to be gangbangers in the hood are really just suburban kids hanging out enjoying the day! Broken windows my ass! We r so Fu$&ed with this guy and his shit! Just when you thought we were at the low point. I ain't gonna ever mess with the suburban kids under this goof either!
Hannity talked about the thugs doing this in many major cities and Chicago was mentioned too.
McLie just lost his credibility!
How about reassignments to the beaches? Better yet you dumb asses Higher more police officers. We know the real reason why the fireworks are not happing this year, the city cannot provide sufficient police protection because there is a man power shortage in the Chicago police department. Keep putting bandaides on wounds, they never heal, they get infected!!!
Fritchey is the machine. He's just being told to fan the flames.
Wha wha wha whaaaaaaaaaat? Typical. Nothing to see here. Move along
remember the race riot of 1919 started at a south side beach and spread througout the city.
Bring back summer mobile, Cops on PAPV [OFF ROAD 4 WHEELERS]are the best vehicle for the beach along with large numbers of bike cops
Video video video, it's used against us all the time. Let's make it work for us. Gotta start filming these savages
McCarthy's denial of gang violence is extremely disconcerting. Who was it that recently said, "Crime is down! Statistics don't lie! POD cameras make you safe! Nothing more to see here, gotta run!"
Like a fool, I was once again trying to keep an open mind about a new superintendent. I believe I will again be disappointed. It looks like McCarthy is nothing more than the mayor's puppet, just like his predecessors.
McCarthy, you may fool the public, but you will not fool the police. WE are the ones you desperately need to win over, and you are starting the spiral into the abyss. I know it's early, but you are stumbling already, sir. All of us need you to succeed, but your comments make you sound like JFLED. GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER!
I don't even know where to begin tonight.....there is so much crap being fed to the public and it's being eaten up as though they are a bunch of flies.
First, there's the Taste of Chicago fireworks. On the news (and I know they are not always correct) they said the fireworks were being cancelled due to cost and that eliminating them would save the city $110,000. ARE YOU KIDDING!! $110,000!! How about charging just one dollar for admission. Over the entire length of the taste the city would make a few million.
Second, can ANYONE name a time a public beach was closed because of heat.....anywhere in the country....when the temp never hit 90 deg.? If the city would have said the crowd was too big and it was a hazard that would have been A LITTLE more believable. So here is where the police need the help of the public. If you are crazy enough to head down to the beach this weekend please video record what goes on and send it to a blog or post it on you tube. If enough video is posted the city cannot deny it.
Lastly, don't expect the police to do much. Not that we don't want to but we are WAY understaffed. Rham's little play on words this past week where more officers were put on the street was BS. He took officers that were already working on the street and moved them from a unit to specific districts. If that seems confusing imagine being at a store where the checkout lines were really long. Cashiers closed on lanes 6, 7, and 8 and the same three opened registers 9, 10, and 11. As dumb as that sounds that is exactly what the police department did. And districts like 18 (where N. Ave Beach is), where there isn't much violent crime compared to other districts, received no new bodies at all.
The tax paying citizens of Chicago are in for a rude awakening this summer.....just wait and see how it all pans out.
We all have a need for tourists and suburbanites to flock to our beaches. We need the revenue that they bring. I don't care how they handle the gang problem on the beaches as long as it's handled. Until we have enough manpower to secure the beaches, keep em closed with skewed water testing results, my idea but boss you can have it.
What did you guys think? Gmac was going to be an independent voice of reason. Did you think the Ramster would hire someone he could not control?
How many of you remember the movie "Jaws." We don't have a shark problem! Have some people eatten by the shark and then the gloves will come off. A few homicides on the beach and the gloves will come off. Until then, there no gang problem at the beaches!
Oh, BTW I heard a former MSF officer was involved in the police shooting in 005. A POS decided to shoot at the police and wound up taking a few rounds of .223 to the cranium. Dudes head now opens in back like a cookie jar and he is no longer breathing. Nice job!
New nickname. Superintendent Jersey Shore.
no one out there has a record of what happened the night and wants to release it? i sat at home and listened to all of it unfold on my trusty at home scanner when im bored. Heard it all. my dumbass should have recorded it, but there has to be something out there. if not paperwork since that can leave a trail, a simple recording of all the radio messages should be a start. yet we do know most people will still doubt since the media is definately the know all say all on everything
Still need about 15 degrees to hit the record deaths of 1995...
...what then?
Shut the whole City down!?!
I am surprised that there are no videos from Monday yet. At least I have not been able to find any. In fact, I have not been able to find any photographs either.
where is my retirement
Who thought this was not a political appointment. Who thinks this city's leadership would admit a bunch of Ghetto Brats with cell phones shut down a city beach. Just an unrelated side note for blogger Report out that more died in chicago than in Afganistan this year. Remember coppers the grass is always greener in the other Districts and Departments.
You have to love this city! It's like living in Amity from the movie Jaws. It's safe to go to the beach folks. We don't have a wilding problem!
Do you think Twinkle Toes will send his kids to the beach now to show how safe it is like the Mayor of Amity did. Sure he will... right after he enrolls his kids in the Chicago Public Schools to show everyone how safe and productive our school system is!
Why no post on the police shooting in 005 the other night?
Thanks McSup. Now we know the truth about you. You're a puppet. Maybe McPuppet should be your nickname?
Careful, Friday it will be 91 and Saturday suppose to be 88...
Meet the new supernintendo. He's the same as the old supernintendo. Nothing will change. Another outsider who will do EXACTLY what the mayor tells him to do.
Now meet the press in Chicago. They will also do EXACTLY what the mayor tells them to do. There is NO FREE PRESS IN CHICAGO. We just have a left wing sounding board.
Notice how they all followed the communist party line and went along with the mayor's version of what happened. Then, when they get caught by multiple first hand accounts of the truth, they jump through hoops to get the "scoop" of what really happened.
This town is a true shit hole. We are at DANGEROUSLY low levels of police for the amount of thugs that are running around the city now. They know it but won't let the public in on it. The public will find out as these events spin out of control with regularity.
Newbie with no idea about North Avenue Beach on the first hot day. Google last year. I'm too lazy.
The info he used for his decision to close was filtered. Revisit your sources, Acting Superintendent.
Dear Superintendent:
I know you are new here. Welcome. Have you gotten a chance to meet some of the people in town, yet? Maybe see some of the sights on your off-duty time? How about the beaches? Did you make it to those lovely spots, yet? Some of the best places in the city, if you ask me. They may not be Coney Island, but you sure got some great views. Not a lick of trouble in any of those spots. Don't believe me? Sir, I just ask you to check with any of the news outlets, they will tell you that we don't have any problems at the beaches! Trust them.
You know, if you can't make it to one of our beaches, why not get familiar with another great spot in town, Michigan Avenue. Take a leisurely stroll up and down the Magnificent Mile on a weekend evening. On that Mile you won't encounter the slightest problem with anyone on that street. Visiting Michigan Avenue is a fun, safe time for the whole family. A bit incredulous about my boasting of how terrific that venue is? Just check the news outlets, again. They can tell you nothing out of the ordinary happens there, ever.
By the way, I am sure you met many people in town, hopefully a number of them work for the police department in the command staff. Take their advice whenever you can! Their 2 or maybe 3 years in a beat car is just short enough so that their keen command minds are not tainted or sullied by any alleged police work and believe me, they will tell you whatever you want to hear with a grateful heart. The closer you put them to your office, the more they will tell you the most pleasing things.
Finally, one last word of advice, don't be too quick with being honest to anyone about anything. Most police officers are bad at spotting liars and bullshitters - the nature of the beast I guess - you can pull the wool over their eyes very easily. Most of us are not good at sarcasm and cynicism, so just keep telling us everything is okay, because we will believe you at your word and I am sure it will only strengthen morale.
Take care and hope to see you around town.
Regards,
A Welcoming Cop
I was at the beach that day
It might have been one of the most joyful experiences Ive encountered
For the first time I saw the fortunate really caring for the needy
I saw numerous people gladly allowing the needy use of their iphones for as long as they need
alowing use of their coolers to refresh themselves as the neeedy deemed fit
Use of their bodies for the relief of their pent up sexual satisfaction
sure maybe they jokingly knocked a few people off their bikes,but those people seemed to understand and almost appreciate the humor
A good time was being had by all
And then around 5-6pm an unfortunate event occurred rarely seen anywhere
Usually the temps climb highest around 2pm but this massive heat influx occurred much later on this day at these later hours
What a shame cause I really wanted to see how we all revelled in the darkness
Under the starlights
maybe we all would have joined hands and for once been what weve been yearning for.
really sad they closed them beaches just before nightfall
I heard McCarthy on WLS-AM890 yesterday afternoon. A lot of chit-chat with Roe Cahn.
All I took away from that interview is that this guy is NOT a policeman - he's a politician.
I do NOT expect much in the way of improvements with the CPD in the near or long-term future.
As far as I am concerned, if I go downtown, my risk factor goes up as to any criminal encounter. (besides paying outrageous parking fees which are already criminal)
There should be concealed carry in Illinois. Reading the comments on this BLOG I cannot count on the police to be there and even if they are, will I get the response from someone who's still the REAL police or will I get the response from some dog? (which would be no response)
There has been an erosion of confidence and a growing perception of lurking violence in Chicago by those living both inside and outside of the city as well as a real erosion of public safety.
McCarthy has not given me any sense of reversing that downward spiral.
On another observation: all those desk job holders who are now going back out on the street - you better go to the range - on your OWN time and money and sharpen up your shooting skills. That's what I would be doing because streets are not safe.
This is the age of cell phone video and YouTube. Certainly SOMEONE who was there recorded it, right? Post it online already and let the public see for themselves the lies they are being told by their so-called "leaders" and the Chicago media machine.
It's going to be a wild summer, folks. Hang on tight.
Well, at least I can say I wasn't let down by the new boss. He IS the same as the old boss. Thanks a heap, McNochio. From the big head to the looooong nose.
These last few months are gonna be the same old hell.
The thugs didn't have their gang affiliation written in large letters on their t-shirts so how would they know?
In NY they wear black leather jackets with the gang name on the back, you know, the Jets and the Sharks.
Those ruffians here had no such attire.
Watch Fritchey get bitch slapped back into place. He married ex-Ald Banks' daughter or neice. He is Machine all the way....
Some of you are so childish. The supe. as well as all exempts are political animals thats how they climbed to the top. Now some of you are acting like you can't believe it.
I really hope this a head fake, while they prepare a flanking attack....
McPuppet it is!
J-Fled meet G-Puppet
And to think we thought he might be different. Only took two weeks to reveal himself. You could at least let the Interim tag expire before losing credibility.
Check the calls for service. Over 15 calls for gang fights, groups of teens fighting, etc, from North Ave Beach through Michigan Ave.
The Shortshanks , J-Fled Legacy lives on, and on, ......
Same lies & bullshit being fed to the public by the masters of deceit, "The Shitcago Machine" !!!!!!
Rahm Emanuel and the new Police Sup. sound like the old Charlie McCarthy and Knunkle Head Smith act..BUT WHICH ONE IS MCCARTHY AND WICH ONE IS KNUCKLE HEAD SMITH?
This would be a good strategy if we were in the military....lie to the public, then go get even. But we all know where we work.
Less than 3 weeks on the job and McCarthy is already carrying Rahmbo's water. This was the first time the CPD has ever shut down the beaches for something other than pollution and we are to believe that it was because of the heat. How foolish of us to think that it would be warm at the beach. Good thing we have Rahmbo and the Sup to save the citizens from the heat. This may be the most bald faced lie ever handed out by a city administration and the new Sup is right in the middle of it. Not a good start Mr. McCarthy.
McCarthy was asked whether there was any gang activity along the lakefront on Memorial Day.
“What’s gang activity? I mean — we have no recorded incidents of any violent crimes that occurred that jumped off the page. There was just a lot of people on the beach. It was a beautiful day. It was the equivalent to, I believe it’s called an air show as far as the actual population,” said McCarthy, the former police director in Newark, N.J.
Nice start Boss!!! Not only are you insulting the citizens, but you are REALLY insulting the men and women you are supposed to be leading by making ridiculous statements like these. I bet if it was one of your daughters being knocked off of her bike while riding on the lakefront path or being groped by some thugs, the anger/outrage you showed those Palisades Park cops would come into play.
If you are truly concerned about quality-of-life complaints, please recognize that those complaints apply not only to bombed-out ghetto areas but areas where working, law-abiding, tax-paying Chicagoans enjoy frequenting like the lakefront and downtown. These people deserve to feel safe and secure without being menaced, terrorized, or attacked by thugs.
I GUARANTEE if you continue to attempt to deceive people with statements like these, you will be shocked at how quickly you will lose the faith and trust of this Department.
That'snot what I heard.
This new guy is nothing more than Rahm's patsy. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss! Maybe worse...it's not looking too good.
WTF, I have lost all hope for this department. I wanted this guy to be successful but so far it's not looking so good. I love that he is putting more clout babies back on the streets, but he also is towing the city's line.
We all know and have known for a long time about the wilding violence that Chicago Politicians have tried to keep secret. I understand you want to keep tourism dollars coming in but at who's expense?
I am so tired of political correctness being more important than the safety of innocent citizens. We are on the verge of collapse and if someone doesn't take control of it now, right now, then we will be the next Detroit.
The big Lie is unraveling, and is anyone surprised about the Wysinger political promotion? Same shit over and over again. Yeah I know he's a nice guy, a connected, merit bestowed, nice guy.
wow...what an a##hole- Mr Rah Rah Police Hurrah for Patrol can't be bothered to even pretend like he has a spine and say the lakefront was a public safety issue so we took action- hell-leave it at that even, but dont blame the weather....somehow this fits right in with Chicago citizens willingness to be screwed over by politicians and their appointees--its a joke, just like Daley working for U of C and any law firm that had anything to do w/parking meters and old Tom Byrne mismanaging LSD during the blizzard and Keating retiring and running Navy Pier and Huberman bouncing from job to job and Goldstein being exempt then being gone for another position and Roman retiring and coming back as a civilian exemlt and POs getting Commander pay for mayoral detail and the list is endless..we are fools
On the south side both 31st beach and 57th Street beach had serious problems.
They led to one homicide at 57th street.
Neither beach had any police presence.
It will be a long hot summer with the gangs and the dope dealers in-charge.
Congrats you made the news, this morning Second City Cop, was on Channel 32 regarding the wopper that the Police are talking about regarding the closing of North Ave Beach. I think it was a good call to close the beach before anyone one got hurt.
Based on this, we will not be having the Puerto Rican Fest if it is over 88 degrees?
Good! They don't pay for a damn thing according to a former District Commander. ALL City services were provided for free to curry (buy) favor with the Hispanic voters.
Mayor, I think I have found another way to save a buck! See, there are opportunities all over the place.
Just like peeps from Brooklyn crossing over the East River into lower Manhattan are "suburbanites."
These little assholes are of the opinion that nothing will happen because of a black President.
Of course, it is probably true. Between Barry Soetoero and Eric Holder, they are allowing the dregs of society full rein.
I blame all the liberal jagbags that supported Barry, hiding up in their suburbs and don't know a clue about the real world.
So they're blaming it on text messaging suburbanites again?

You are a moron if you think more than 10% of the Department goes to the range on their own time. There might be a few enthusiasts but regardless of job duty, the overwhelming majority fire their 30 rounds a year to qualify and that's it.
To those asking "where are the videos?" I would say you are making yourself a target if you are pointing a camera in the direction of these CPS honor students. What do think they are going to do if you are noticed filming them? Maybe if any of those stolen phones show up you may get some video, provided they didn't end up in the bottom of the lake.
I'll admit I haven't read all of the comments in this thread but without hesitation I will say that McCarthy isn't feeding the media this on his own. Rahm is a control freak, he has shown it since day one, and if you'll notice he still won't let Brizard speak to the media at all. Rahm always steps in to control the question and the statement going out, even to the point at a press conference to put his hand on the guy’s arm and pulling him back away from the microphone so he can step in and give the answer he wants put out. He is absolutely behind this statement made by McCarthy. You know the phone call McCarthy got from Rahm that evening- "DON'T you say a word about any gang violence or any thuggery, you just tell them it was too hot and you needed to clear the crowd to get to the sick, THAT'S IT- I command you!" You know it and I know it. Being a copper, and one who worked the street, if even for a brief period McCarthy knows "Dude"…... C'mon- in a heartbeat he'd love to say the animal was acting out and needed to be controlled, but the press savvy Rahm won't be having any of that. He wants the perception that he has EVERYTHING under control. There is no crime, there is no evil lurking, it's just a little hiccup, one that is easily managed by his people and one that is easily explainable. I do believe McCarthy is going to take a severe credibility hit on this one, but let’s hope it will be a lesson learned for him. If he's gonna play the record made by the spinmaster, then he better give the spinmaster credit for the shit coming off the album!(Yes, album... I’m showing my age).
HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!
The plan to rein in those "out of control" coppers has succeeded way beyond the wildest of the wild fucking dreams of daley inc.
The knee walking decaying alive, reeking & leaking from every orifice anal slut media. (howdy, ya bunch of toothless bitches!)
The clueless, head in the sand with a "kick me" sign on their asses liberal fucks who applauded any and all attempts to "take it to those cops."
These fools were lined up on the streets heel to toe & elbow to asshole cheering as anything resembling Chicago Policing and public safety was marched off to the gulags gagged & handcuffed never to be seen or heard from again.
Now they're yelling, crying and dancing because the cracked in half toilet formerly plugged solid to the rim with pure damnit congealed shit (thanks for the memories c.h.a!) is now overflowing into their blahnik & birkenstocks... The door lock is broken and they're crying for The Police to come in and jiggle the handle to make it stop.
...You allowed it to be broken and didn't say or do shit.
...The Police were TELLING YOU that you were allowing it to be broken and your response was "stop complaining, if you don't like it quit. hire us, we'll do it for less pay, fewer benefits and no complaining. You guys are out of control. You're supposed to be humble indentured servants, not proud warriors. Your pride and esteem angers us and you need to be taken down a peg. Hooray for jody taking it to you cops!"
We're laughing as you dance and cry... "Why don't you guys fix this!"
Sorry... We didn't break it.
Sorry... Nobody in their right mind is taking any gloves off and risking losing everything for hurting an honor student's feelings.
Don't you people read anything? Sparklefarts and holder have given D.O.J a specific directive to go after coppers with maximum prejudice at the slightest hint of honor student discomfort at the hands of The Police.
It's now way beyond our ability to fix it.
You now have the "report taking" Police of your dreams...
STFU about "we wish you guys would be aggressive." You made sure that good, hard-nosed, head hunting bad guys Policing was destroyed in this city because just like the sausages people enjoy, you didn't like what goes into making the streets safe.
All the ballyhoo, jaw-jacking and denture rotating about a new superintendent, a new 1st deputy and all that won't mean a damned thing until they man up and get in front of changing the rules of engagement.
Ain't gonna happen.
Too many people with a vested interest in seeing CPD tied in political knots out of bullshit and spite.
The Police are the enemy now... A masterful propaganda coup by the media and daley inc.
You citizens may as well reconcile yourselves to being prisoners in your homes and having your tender bits gnawed on by the "road scholar" honor students running amok. If the Police are your enemies now, then the wilding ones are your friends.
Enjoy the mess crime king shorty made while you nodded with consent.
RANT: ON/(OFF)
As the Great George Costanza said, "It's not a lie, if you believe it".....
I think that closing the beaches to all those suburbanites and upwardly mobles is a great idea. The next time it gets really hot allow only the wandering gang bangers and dope selling scum bags onto the beach. Once it becomes over crowded start throwing mortar rounds until peace is restored
oh well
i guess he too will 'toe"

"Two Chicago police cars crashed into each other in a high-speed chase that began when a suspect's vehicle ran into another police car. Several officers were injured but none seriously.
The destruction started about 1:12 a.m. when a suspect's vehicle crashed into a marked squad car near 16th Street and Central Park Avenue, police said.
That crash started a pursuit that ended with the suspect's vehicle crashing about 13 minutes later in a building's wall on the 4800 block of West Van Buren Street, said Police News Affairs officer Ron Gaines. The suspect ran and and got away, Gaines said.

Two officers in the initial collision suffered minor injuries and were taken to Mount Sinai Hospital where they were treated and released, Gaines said.
Meanwhile, two of the squad cars responding to the pursuit crashed into each other about 1:25 a.m. on the 4700 block of West Van Buren Street, Gaines said.
While it is not clear how many officers were riding in each vehicle, there was a report that officers were taken with non-life threatening injuries to the University of Illinois Medical Center at Chicago, Gaines said.
It also was unclear how many squad cars participated in the chase, but police radio communications indicated a number were."

The last line of the articles is all you need to know. The media, as we always know, have scanners and listen to whats going. But, we're to believe they didn't listen to the their scanners during last weekends Wilding-Wahoo-Fest at the beach? Why don't they call Rahm and McCarthy out on this using this bullshit? Never mind, we know the media is complicit in furthering a liberal agenda to sell papers and generate ratings.
once upon a time their was a thing called summer mobile that handled the beaches and lakefront all summer--- now we have the bike police who write anovs and get a nice suntan--- a lot of money and power resides around north avenue beach and they will demand a response--- and of course the police departments answer will be to flood the area with manpower which we don't have--- but we can always put in more cameras.....
Its a shame the new boss get things screwed up when he first gets here.
I would suggest to him that he listen to the guys on the street, and not the white shirts.
Unlike NYPD, most white shirts are political hacks and do not know anything about the street.
Also, have you noticed how thay have him closeted so he can't find out how things are?
I'm from Wheaton. I didn't have the pleasure of coming down to the beach that day. But now I wish I had. I would've packed up my Thinkpad and dusted off my Tek 9. Then with my White Sox hat to the back and Tupac Foreva shirt I would've hit the beach with a veangance, fu#%ing up anybody who stepped to me. Heck I'd even fu#% up people who didn't step to me. Because they might be thinkin about steppin to me. Why would I leave my MBA, my nice McMansion, my wife & kids, etc. to do all this? Because Imma gangsta, a straight up G. That's just how I roll baby. If some playa chest up Imma pop pop. But I do have to get back to Wheaton by 6pm to coach my kid's softball game. Peace out!
Well I guess Ive been caught at it,,,Asa Watts. Now I don't hold jail against you, but I hate a liar,,,Wil Andersen.
News Alert - due to heat all Chicago Beaches will be closed when weather is Hot
Hot = 90 or above with gang members enroute
Listen McPuppet....you lie on me, I'm gonna lie on you...
May I submit "Superintendent Pinocchio" as McCarthy's official nickname???
Segway: if Rahm made up these lies for McCarthy to tell, would we be able to tell by his finger growing back?
CFD responded to a fire at 35/Michigan yesterday where one Supt was found with his pants on fire and his nose as long as a telephone wire!
Could it be that the 018th District Commander has been lying to the Sup.? Hmmmmm.
Dear Supernintendo Pinocchio:
Only one of two things could've happened to possess you to make such bold-faced lies to the public:
1 - You're ignorant to the fact of what ACTUALLY transpired at the beaches (this may have been the result of trusting/listening to some asshole "boss" that fed you what you "needed to hear")
or
2 - You were a knowing participant in the charade of bullshit.
Either way, one thing is for certain. YOU ARE NOT TO BE TRUSTED.
You came out of the gate on fire, looking to instill trust and camaraderie in us lowly blue shirts; you attended the CPD football game and disbanded units to bolster the number of bodies in patrol...or did you? You actually had some people beginning to sing your praises and tout you as the captain who might actually right the sinking CPD ship.
We now know unequivocally that you're just Rahm's mouthpiece in the campaign "promise" of "adding 1000 more officers..." As stated so many times before, you can't bullshit a bullshitter. And second only to career criminals, coppers are the best bullshitters and actors to grace the face of the planet.
Your true colors (I doubt blue is truly one of them) have bled through already. You have quickly been revealed as a DUMMY as least, and a LIAR at worst. You have been bought by The Machine, and are now obligated to honor the contract and perform as mandated by those to which you sold your soul.
Did you attempt to circumvent what they told you to do and say? Is that why you were bumbling through your interview regarding this matter? I predict some Bosshole (maybe Angarone?) will have to fall on the proverbial sword now for providing the bad intel that a not-so-naive public called "Bullshit!" on.
Regardless of what may actually have transpired, any respect I may have held for you has been negated. I'm sure I speak for many when I say this. At least we got all this out in the open right away, and we know where you're really coming from. Thanks for nuthin', Garry.
liar, liar, pants on fire!!
All you hard chargers that just got dumped from TRU & MSF take note here:
Rahm & McCarthy will be scrambling now that they've been called-out on their blatant lie. In addition to opening up the summer Lakefront Special again, expect them to try and throw together some bullshit team to patrol the beaches and the downtown shopping districts in a knee-jerk attempt to pacify the tax base. These "wildings", "flash mobs" and now this beach closure for "heat-related reasons" will soon be National News...video has been taken and IS currently being reviewed prior to airing (hopefully they won't edit too much of it). It will embarrass both Rahm and McCarthy, so they're gonna have to take reactionary measures.
DO NOT VOLUNTEER FOR THIS NONSENSE. LET THEM GO BY REVERSE SENIORITY IF THEY HAVE TO. THEY ARE GONNA COME BACK BEGGING YOU GUYS TO RE-UP FOR THIS MISSION - - - YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST. DON'T FALL FOR THIS A 2ND TIME !!!! LET IT BURN AND LET THE LIBERALS THAT HELPED PUT US WHERE WE ARE AT TODAY GET A TASTE OF WHAT THEY'VE CREATED.
When will the lies & Bullshit Stop ??????
Oy Vey !!!!!!
•And if the police can't get a handle on beach safety, there are going to be a lot of problems this summer... could the lack of control have anything to do with being outnumbered? no of course not
I GUARANTEE if you continue to attempt to deceive people with statements like these, you will be shocked at how quickly you will lose the faith and trust of this Department.

Too late, I've already lost faith.

Coppers are our worst enemies. I cant believe the BS Im reading here. The new Sup is just starting. He can't possibly make everyone happy. And who the hell are you guys always trying to find a flaw. Give the man a break. He is better than most we've had. For those who say he is Rahms puppet, wake up he works for Rahm and any person who is appointed to this position, from time to time is going to have to do what the boss demands, Don't be ignorant and be happy that the glass is half full not half empty

I heard McCarthy on WLS-AM890 yesterday afternoon. A lot of chit-chat with Roe Cahn.
All I took away from that interview is that this guy is NOT a policeman - he's a politician.
6/02/2011 04:57:00 AM
One word for you:
"DUH!"
No shit he's a politican and not a Cop. If he was a Cop, he wouldent get to that high of a level.
You've heard of MacGyver.
You've heard of J Fled.
You've heard of The Bartender.
Now comes the greatest of all:
McLiar
He came from New York. Like Capone he made Chicago his own.
The bigger the lie the smaller the guy.
That's how most of the Gold Stars have gotten their jobs by BSing or Da phine call The Big lie that this is a career
I was at the dunes on memorial day, very similar situation so we left. I'm actually thinking this may get pretty bad. My wife and I are armed though :), just won't be going to the beach.
Anonymous said...
And to think we thought he might be different. Only took two weeks to reveal himself. You could at least let the Interim tag expire before losing credibility.
Check the calls for service. Over 15 calls for gang fights, groups of teens fighting, etc, from North Ave Beach through Michigan Ave.
6/02/2011 06:34:00 AM
ARE WE READY FOR A VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE YET?
When McCarthy was asked his opinion on there being no concrete proof given that bin laden was killed,he said he believes whatever his president and goverment tell him.
This guy is nothing but another politician and anyone who thought different is either soft or just moved to Shitcago.
"Supt. J-Shore." Awesome! How bout "Super- Situation". Good stuff
AW is a nice guy , good cop , but how many bites from the merit tree does a nice guy get ?
Shame not one SGT or LT that passed promtional exams are worthy of an exempt position in Chicago.
Now that the new superintendent has made his bones by lying his ass off about North avenue beach, I am officially giving our superintendent the new nickname of....
McSnookie. Nice going asshole, you just lost mynconfidnce
Aawww, come on! You’re blowing this all out of proportion, we have POD cameras! Cameras man, that’s the new wave of “Policing”! All the MILLIONS of (our) tax dollars spent on those flashing blue light cameras, those stealth black cameras… That shit stops crime!
I can’t believe these “shanaagins” can go on with millions of dollars of cameras everywhere. They were put in “for our safety” from what we were told.
How about we sell those fucking cameras to the next idiot that comes along, and buy us a few more ACTUAL, LIVE, POLICE OFFICERS! Nnaaa,, that’s too much like right.
welcome to our sanctuary city!
Not sure why posters here want to rip Fritchy. Like him or not, he was the only politician with the stones to speak out on this.
"Bring back summer mobile, Cops on PAPV [OFF ROAD 4 WHEELERS]are the best vehicle for the beach along with large numbers of bike cops"
--6/02/2011 12:51:00 AM
Used to have the old Harley 45-cu. in. three-wheelers up and down the lakefront, the PAPV's are probably the closest thing today.
Once the police went by, here came riding down on you a shouting mob on assorted bicycles, 20-strong, coming north from the direction of 67th Street, some bikes carrying two -- the extra one being the intended rider for your bike.
This s__t began in 1964 -- they just had less money and fewer expensive clothes and no cell phones then.
I still remember 15 blue-and-whites in a line headed up 55th toward the Point on summer nights to quell another "drumming riot" with fights and 10-1s, selling, etc.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
This is the result of what Daley and the Inner Circle like to call "public policy."
When did they change the name of "destructive social engineering?"
"McCarthy was asked whether there was any gang activity along the lakefront on Memorial Day.
“What’s gang activity?" said McCarthy, the former police director in Newark, N.J.

Oh, man.
This one is over before it even began.
Not even a honeymoon night, nothing.
God damn it. Another out-of-town administrative shithead, completely detached from reality.
Two in a row.
That's OK. We saw the back of Jody Weis, and we'll see you out the door too.
Here we go.
Fuck you, Superintendent McCarthy.
McLie just lost his credibility
I think that should be his new name: Mc Lie
I highly doubt the clouted commander would admit that it was out of control. The supe needs to know that he CANNOT count on commanders to give unpopular info
Yeah, nobody bother here, don't even dignify this "heat" nonsense with a discussion. I walked through lots of 105 degrees at 100% humidity when 700 people died -- THAT was "heat," and still nobody closed any beaches.
Anyone with eyes to see will tell you that the problem was swarms of black gangbangers from the south and west sides, riding in en masse on the CTA with mayhem in mind. It's been happening a lot lately, fueled by the advent of the cell phone.
There it is.
If he was an honest, good, got our backs kinda guy he would never have gotten that high in the ranks in the first place. He is where he is because he plays ball with the political scumbags. Sad, but true.
My co-worker says her son got a text from other Harper High kids that there was going to be a "Slap the Sissies roll at Olive park Sunday". Whatever that means.
Occassionally, I'll listen to the police channel on my iphone before falling asleep. I was listening when the beach was shut down. The call that went out to shut down the beach was due to 100's of Gangbangers, not because of heat. This isn't news to those in Blue.
Evidently, CPD Brass are putting out the heat Barabra Striesand at the behest of Rahm, just another lying Chicago politician. It hit the Drudge Report today.
As SCC readers know, the Chicago media has been ignoring the flash mob and swarms of gangbangers for a long time.
Tourists have no clue how dangerous supposedly "safe" neighborhoods like Streeterville, the Goldcoast and North Ave Beach is.
Buck Naked
(not a cop)
The tapes of ZONE 4 from Monday 30 May 11 third watch in the 18th district would prove exactly what took place on both the beach and Navy Pier. Play the tapes and it will tell the tale.
Cops on Dots
Superintendent Mc is only following orders from his boss. Shades of Jody & Richie!
Tribune took down their comments section AFTER the eyewitnesses posted what they saw. The truth hurts.
It's still sinking in.
The guy just got here, confronted his first crisis -- and immediately dropped the ball.
He was completely unable to man up, recognize what is called a "teaching moment," and set the tone.
"I am here to tell you that the City of Chicago will not tolerate such behavior on the part of anyone. Offenders can expect to be arrested and charged..."
This is what you get with this touchy-feely "government by committee" -- a carefully-selected, one-person-of-each-shade multicultural phalanx must be presented to the cameras, with a sign-language interpreter standing at the side (no offense intended, just painting the now-standard picture we always see), before you can even make an announcement about changing bus fares or something.
These people gaze far, far out above the actual problem, preferring instead to deal in carefully-mouthed abstractions.
It's killing us.
If the police superintendent is merely going to be the mayor's parrot, the superintendent's job is redundant. What was he hired to do?
This mayor is a shrieking, foul-mouthed little bastard. Do you think he respects someone who won't stand up and do a job of work without coming hat in hand and asking about it first?
*
That was it. There won't be another chance to make a first impression.
By the way -- WHERE WAS MCCARTHY WHILE THIS WAS GOING ON?
I was there. Lots of gangbangers, but not lots of crime. Also, there is a POD camera there.
Yea, he laid a line of bullshit about the beach. But later in the interwiew when he was asked about one man cars he related a war story of how as a Lt he was riding solo and drove into a shootout in which the bad guy was literally firing from the hood of his car. (By the way, this was the only time he ever had to call for help while riding solo) So I forgot about the BS about the beach and said to myself "Wow,this guy really is the REAL police."
"There was no gang activity involved in the commander’s decision to close the beach..."
Oh, for the love of God.
Look what we got here.
Alternative outcome --
"They're doin' what in my park?"
Finish your coffee quick and grab some guys and get your ass down there and walk around the sawhorses and go see for yourself what's goin' on. Is that too much to ask?
It's too late now.
Oh, please, please show some gonads, McCarthy!
We, the troops, desperately wanted you to help us attempt to save this city.
If you don't show that you are a policeman before a politician, the troops are lost and the city is gone.
What would it hurt to tell the truth. For example;
There was some serious, unexpected, safety issues involving rogue individuals at the beaches this memorial day! We believe the heat attribiuted to attracting a higher number than usual. In an attempt to prevent any further harm or damage, we decided to close the beach.
He could then use it as a learning tool by saying. Being new to the city, I may have many surprises, but will work to address the best way to combat these issues as they arise.
MCCARTHY....
If you would say something like this, you WILL have the backing of the troops and be much more successful in fighting crime.
Even then, we will understand why you couldn't call the rogue individuals, gangs. And we will understand why you would try to smooth over the media image (somewhat). We, too, want our city to survive and attract tourists. Don't forget, we ARE, also tax payers and residents. But, please, please, don't insult our (or the publics) intelligence by completely denying the situation. If you lose us, you lose your fight!
suburbanites that were at the beach?
--PLENTY of bangers in the burbs the last I heard!
I'm still trying to get a read on the new Supt, but truthfully, closing the beach was a good idea. If you knew the gangbangers were either on the way down there or were already there, who cares what the reason was that they said?
Look at the big picture. The gangbangers were legally denied a venue to hang out. You couldn't say that because you are gangbangers, we are closing the beach. It would violate the Gang Loitering ordinance MCC 8-4-015, and invite another nonsense lawsuit from the ACLU, or Loevy & Loevy. The "overcrowding" excuse was just that---an excuse to accomplish a needed goal.
Whoever made the decision made the right call, and McCarthy showed backbone for that person by backing their decision. A good call all around.
P.S. I'm not a cheerleader for McCarthy, but I do have an open mind on both him and this issue. Things were handled correctly with what was present.
Asked point-blank what role, if any, gang activity or violence played in Monday’s 6 p.m. closing, McCarthy said without hesitation, “None.”
I GUARANTEE if you continue to attempt to deceive people with statements like these, you will be shocked at how quickly you will lose the faith and trust of this Department.
I hate to say it.... but he already lost my trust.
This is what I want to know. If any of the very few coppers working that afternoon were battered and seriously injured, how would they have managed to spin this story? "CPD Officers succumb to extreme 85-degree temperatures, thousands of helpful young citizens from the south side come to their rescue."

"we know the media is complicit in furthering a liberal agenda to sell papers and generate ratings"
The liberal world-view since WWII is white people bad (unless you're a liberal) and non-white people good. They manipulate the news to make it fit their world-view because it keeps young white voters and old white tax-payers guilty and controllable.
They've only been able to get away with it because they control what the average citizen believes is the truth.

There are lots of news stories showing that this went on all over the country.

This isn't starting out so well with GMac. I had hopes that he'd be nothing like JFRAUD. I'm thinking he was told to say this. If he's truly a cop's cop then he knows damn well what the problem was that caused the beach to be closed.
If these thugs and bangers were all white do you think everyone would be tiptoeing around the subject?

Please correct me if I'm wrong. But I seem to remember, during the heat wave of 1995 with over 500 dead due to the heat. One of the cities suggestions to beat the heat
was for people to go to the lake front to cool off. How times change
Knock it off. We need to take it easy on him, they may have closed it for heat but there was a huge problem elsewhere. I've met jfled and I've met McCarthy and they're two different people, trust me! There are certain things people who hold a public office like superintendent have to do or say and this is one. Calm down.
Yea, he laid a line of bullshit about the beach.

The question is, how do you enjoy a beach while armed? You can't. Somebody always has to mind the weapon(s). Can't put it in a cooler, under a towel, etc., so it becomes a giant pain in the tail.
Could it be that the 018th District Commander has been lying to the Sup.? Hmmmmm.

More likely, News Affairs was lying to the supe.

Have we ever had a policeman as superintendent?
They've ALL been politicians. Some more tolerable than others, but in the end, politicans first.
Don't be surprised this summer when your off getting this phone call....officers report to district ,bring your helmet and gas mask,all able bodies needed to gain back the shitty,report immediately!! Don't give this excuse....I'm not answering my phone it'll be all over the T.V. ....emergency new flash...all cpd sworn members and any other volunteers are immediately needed to report to districts,Tiny Dancer on the news complaining " if officers don't report then they won't get their duty availability checks,simple as that,if I have to I'll hand out suspension time for officers not reporting, Dammit Mc Flurry get your boys on board!

Good to see you read the blog too Supt. McCarthy.
How does Garry McCarthy know it was suburbanites that were at the beach? When you go to the beach, you don't have to register or fill out a form with your name and address on it.
There probably were a handful of suburbanites at the beach, all of which will probably never return after getting a bird's eye view of the animalism.
THIS A COMMENT IS BEST ..I LAUGHED MY ASS OFF
Do you really think we could get away with announcing to the world that the beach was closed because of the black and Hispanic gang members? Come on. The heat excuse was a very good idea. Don't be so frickin' superficial guys - think.
If wasnt shut down because of gangmembers then maybe the new super will have no problem bringing his family there next time
This goes to show you that all professional politicians are craven, panty-less whores.
Particularly those of the Chicago persuasion.
Do any of these mopes have at least a nodding acquaintance with the ability to tell the truth?
Is The Policeman, for all of his imperfections, the only one out of all those who have sworn an oath in this forsaken by God town, who thirsts for the truth to be told about what is really going on here?
Or does the media have marching orders to portray our concerns for the health and well being of this city as "complaining" in order to separate us from public good will?
...Who the fuck are we kidding?
They've already succeeded!
9.5's plan is that he has no plan other than to exact crime king shorty's revenge on The Police for "costing him" his no-lympic dream?
G-mac & tiny dancer have a lot of splainin' to do if they desire a shred of credibility.
If not?
They're just here finish stealing what shorty couldn't get away with.
And the public is so happy to see war declared on The Police...

Its a shame the new boss get things screwed up when he first gets here.
I would suggest to him that he listen to the guys on the street, and not the white shirts.
Unlike NYPD, most white shirts are political hacks and do not know anything about the street.
Also, have you noticed how thay have him closeted so he can't find out how things are?
He will never find out anything
if he listens to most of his Exempts. Randomly pick some troops and find the real story. Why would a commander tell you he has ran his unit in the ground?

Always been a problem. I just don't go in the water and stay covered from the sun anyways. AT first my spouse thought I was nuts, paranoid, then when she had a scare taking out the garbage, she understood why I am always armed outside of my house, cutting the grass, getting something from the car, etc...no matter what !!!
McCarthy is finding out that the culture of political fuckery in Chicago has no peer or equal in the supposedly civilized world.
Heh...
Here's what happened...
Shit went sour in 001 & 018... OK, fine.
It is entirely feasable that the freshly brewed version of what happened was first filtered through the mayor's office and subsequently diluted/adulterated and then passed on to McCarthy who was then given the ol' shortshanks "position of honor" at the news conference.
Deniability for the mayor's office...
Somebody (McCarthy) left at the podium looking like they just shit on themselves when the cover is pulled off something unexpected, (heh-heh, voila! gotchoazzz!) while the mayor & his staff snicker in the background.
Either McCarthy willingly drank the kool-aid on this one or he got played really really bad by the people at news affairs and 9.5's staff.
Especially in light of the almost universal sentiment that the official reason given for closing a beach because "it's hot" is akin to using pure damnit dog shit as fertilzer.
Tread carefully McCarthy...
We recall chit-chat about O.W. Wilson unknowingly having a city hall clout stooge and made member of the outfit planted very close to him by daley the elder.
Can't have you outsiders going renegade and changing shit for the better without *ahem* "proper oversight."
We're living strange and interesting times on this Chicago Police Department...
The beech looked like the Woodstock Music festival. What a mess, well, you can't expect the savages to take their garbage out with them.

One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
Tiny Dancer picked Mac because he wanted no one with Chicago ties and only some one loyal to him. Told to me by a 35th street insider Boss.
I believe that is called staing the obvious.

Two can be as bad as one.
How to enjoy the beach and be armed?
"active wear" swim attire. It's got zippered/buttoned pockets & "hidey holes" for stashing stuff.
...s&w centennial snubby (or what ever you may prefer)in a zip-lock sandwich bag. at least with a snubby you can just burn a hole in the bag :)
...spare cell phone the same way.
...adapt and improvise. ain't that our way?
