Great Plan!

Rahm is blowing his wad early on trying to keep crime stats down:
  • [....] Now, hundreds of additional Chicago police officers assigned to tactical, gang, saturation and mission teams have had their regular days off canceled from Friday through Sunday, according to police sources familiar with the change that was announced during a meeting at police headquarters. The city's beat officers also were given the option of earning overtime by working weekend days off, the sources said.

    Adding so many officers to the street on their day off is more typical during hot summer months or special occasions such as when the president is visiting the city; is unusual for a cold-weather month such as January. This month has been marked by weekends with dozens of shootings, including 54 people shot last weekend alone.
So it's looking for a very long (and profitable) year for tact, gang, sat and mission teams. Hope you guys and gals didn't have any weekend plans, like birthdays, baptisms, weddings, or just a night out this summer. We also heard and witnessed dozens of officers sitting around over the wee hours because there weren't any cars available for them to patrol.

We took it upon ourselves to call a few Area garages to see the availability of a pool car. Once the one guy answering the phone stopped laughing, he told us there hasn't been an available pool car citywide since mid-December.

So yet another brilliant effort from HQ falls flat due to chronic mismanagement and failure to actually prepare for a short-notice event.

But didn't Rahm instruct Doctuh Angelo
to fold into the last contract an agreement
to purchase 400 new squads?

>Crickets<

POTUS Trump...
Please snatch CPD away from Rahm
and make him pay back the last six years
of money he diverted from training,
equipment and manpower.

Oh yeah, make Rahm & Co.
restore retirees and widows medical
insurance that he bragged about
snatching away too.

Isn't this an example from the DOJ report stating minority communities are disproportionately targeted for heavy policing? So which is it? Do they welcome it, or do the numbers produced prove racism?

Rahm doesn't seem to understand and the brass don't want to tell the king he's not wearing any clothes, that even with ALL the Department working, and everyone in a vehicle driving, without street stops/vehicle stops murders won't decrease. The stops coupled with aggressive pro-active policing is what will work to bring murders down. Until then the POS are embolden to walk and drive with their guns waiting to find their intended target, knowing the police will not confront them.

And so Rahm dumps a shitload of OT thinking that bodies alone will solve his problem. Rahm's exacerbation of the McDonald incident has compounded police work in Chicago; thereby hobbling cops from effectively stopping the carnage.

It wouldn't be so bad if the POS just shot each other up, the city could really benefit from that, but there is collateral deaths and injuries. Collateral just not confined to the hood, which still is not acceptable, but now the expressways are not save to travel when the POS are out looking for their targets.

Welcome Rahm to the Hell you have created for all of us. ASSHOLE!!!

I think all 3rd watch officers should file a grievance. This was not an emergency. If there was snowmagedon or a riot,sure, hold the watch over on a Friday night, with an hour notice. There needs to be a reason why contractual rights were violated !

Rahm will never realize that it is impossible to stop this level of violence without using the extreme measures that would horrify his backers.

Until then, the line will keep moving.

Pool cars were never an issue when the police actually ran, had control of the garages. Perhaps they weren't the best cars but they were always available. Fleet Management taking control of the police garages has been a failure!

If they keep cancelling weekend days off you are going to see a rise in medical section usage that rivals the current homicide rate in Chicago...

And of course the short sighted coppers will brag about how much they are making...that goes without saying. Never giving a thought to their sanity from constantly being in that corrosive CPD environment 7 days a week with no time off to decompress.

Where is our union on this?

Maybe another Staged HIPPA press conference is scheduled when the LT Cheaters get their Captain Bars.
Another Staged Press Conference after a visit to a Trauma Hospital. Taken to the Trauma Hospital. Not Admitted for overnight observation.
Looks Staged to me. Looks like a Stunt from the old Mafia days in New York. That is what the CPD Bosses learned when in New York.

Also remember Hthe Supt took the plane ride with the Mayor to Rome. No health problems reported. No Doctor on board the Plane.

Question, by no means a scientific study, but...

on a scale of one to ten, how much do you in the CPD, serving 10yrs+, feel crime in Chicago would be reduced if Chicago was not a Sanctuary City and illegal aliens engaging in crime were deported?

"1" being roughly a 10% reduction and "10" being a 100% reduction.

Gang Enforcement definitely had RDO's cancelled this weekend.. In fact, a few teams had their RDO's cancelled which resulted in close to 20 extra guys. The problem is we only have so many cars... We could have 100 additional P.O.'s working but at the end of the day we are only putting out so many cars resulting in cars going out 3-4 deep. We barely have enough cars for day to day business. On a positive note, our mission area was so saturated with police you had a better chance finding special Ed's balls than a gangbanger.

1/29/2017 12:15:00 AM

It's both. They do welcome it - precisely so they can prove their racism claims. See, when city cops turn their backs on a mayor, it can happen two ways. It can happen on television like it did in New York or it can happen out in the field on the beats like it is happening in Chicago. Gee, maybe it is a sign that cops are sick of being set up to be called racist no matter what they do or don't do? Maybe cops are showing the world, despite media, what the statistics are used (by media) to hide.

The inner city "community" has to accept what it created for itself. It has to learn the hard lesson that it cannot have its cake and eat it too. Rahm and co have to finally accept that lesson too. Demand warrants fellas, and keep right on refusing to operate proactively without them! make THEM be responsible for the "data" and then the "studies" done and the "racism" produced by adding up how many warrants are issued for how many black people, white people and brown people.

It's so obvious what needs to be done in Chicago to get crime under control. But since this is the case, and nothing is being done, it is also obvious that Rahm is choosing to do nothing because he hates the police. Fuck you Rahm.

F-ck these treasonous politicians. The scumbags expect u to follow the laws , pay your taxes but then they look u in the eye and tell u that illegals have rights to everything and they r goingto take your tax money and spend it on these illegals. Like you can't spend that money on your family , the family that follows the laws and pays taxes. Politicians don't serve the people that elected them , they serve themselves. They pass laws to fuck over decent law abiding citizens, like nancy peelowsee, you have to pass the law to find out whats in it. She said she prayed for trump and America but yet she fucks over the entire country with obumma care. Wake up America , politicians only understand and whorship money so if you are a true American , boycott illegal sanctuary cities. Spend your money elsewhere. Resist treansonous politicians who hurt your families with illegal bullshit laws.

Gee let's count the ways our democratic leadership engineered the carnage, murder, violent assaults and property crimes whose offenders have a 3 in 4 chance of getting away with these crimes and are on the street to commit additional crimes.

1)Reduction of police personnel by Rahm, doing more with less.
2)Failure to keep up with the annual attrition, new hires versus retirees.
3)Police vehicle shortage and lack of pool cars so these vehicles are run into the ground before being downed because of the lack of replacement vehicles.
4)Entire promotional process treated as a political patronage system and offers the average police officer without any clout a limited chance for promotion.
5)Association with and pandering to the criminal element and anarchist.
6)Refusal to detain and process criminal illegal immigrants.
7)Partnership with the ACLU to engineer the most prohibitive stop report in the nation.
8)Promotion of supervisors that not only are totally inept to excel in these positions but never possessed the qualifications to be a police officer in the first place.
9) Vilification of the police officer and celebration of the criminal element voting block.
10)Constant attack on and reduction of benefits for active and retired officers.
Need some help. Can someone add some additional points to this list.
