NATO Coming to Town

  • World leaders will gather in Chicago next spring to assess the situation in Afghanistan and discuss the future of the war effort there, President Barack Obama will announce in an address from the White House tonight.

    The NATO summit will serve as a chance to review goals laid out by the security alliance in Lisbon last fall, when leaders agreed to begin transition to full Afghan responsibility for security in 2014, a senior administration official said.

    The summit, to be held between May 15 and 22 of next year, will coincide with another international meeting in Chicago as the Group of Eight industrialized nations convenes to focus on global economic issues.
Rahm's already begging for money to pay for the security arrangements for the back-to-back conferences. We'd hope there are going to be plenty of hire-back opportunities.

Why would NATO come here? Even the car show guys can't afford the "convenience tax" at McCormick Place.

This is New York shit. Stay over there.

Sounds like a great time to plan a vacation AWAY from Chicago. Now, if only I could put a force field around the house while I'm gone.

BOTH a NATO summit AND the G8????

"The 38th G8 summit is to be held in the Chicago, Illinois in May 2012. The date and venue of this meeting remains unknown; and the future of the G8 and the event in 2012 are uncertain."

All I've ever seen of the G8 is riots and mayhem. Good luck with that!

Maybe Rahm can lean on the wealthy friends of his to come up with some cash to hire some cops and to buy some ammunition so we can practice on a regular basis.

I know, they already do and so does everyone else through taxes. Taxes don't count. This is voluntary. You know, as in if you don't "voluntarily" cough up some more dough you will be frozen out of things like access, contracts etc.

Like that kind of "voluntary."

Al Capone would be envious.

If it's the globalists coming to town the money for security will be available without a doubt. We the taxpayers will pay for it. Close to $1 billion was spent on security alone for the G20 in Toronto last year. Expect massive protests and be sure this city will be turned into a police state. All of us should watch the following documentaries to see what is to be expected:

1. INTO THE FIRE

2. POLICE STATE 4 - THE RISE OF FEMA

Yup, now I know why they keep asking and training on that. Tear gas is the last thing Im worried about, this city is a soft target compared to other cities that did'nt steal the federal funds to train, hire, and equip thier police forces.

MSF was tasked with Dignitary Protection, and along with TRU responded to civil unrest, crowd control, gas teams, tool and cut teams. All of these functions came with appropriate training, who will do it now. These skills will all bbe needed for a G8 protest. This will be a disaster without the ability to respond appropriately. The time to think about it is now, the training and preperation comes now not right before that type of event.

This is going to be mass mayhem, hooliganism and insanity. Pittsburgh was mildly stupid, Seattle back in the '90's was out of control. London in '05 was the sight of a terrorist attack that killed 60+ in subway and bus bombings. We are all going to be in the thick of it with this. Start getting your head wrapped around it. When they start in earnest with the training, take it seriously, because it is going to get serious. The ass you might save may be your own.

Way to go, Rahm! Apparently you weren't happy with not getting the Bull riots so you talk to your buddy and will now be getting the anarchist riots. What do you care? Your not the one who will have to put up with the BS. And the only thing that will be show cased in shitcago is how badly managed this city is and how far it has fallen from being a world class city.

If Rahm and his cronies think there isn't a problem now, I wonder what excuse will be used with G8/NATO.

Great planning... Sounds like it'll run into the 2012 National Law Enforcement Memorial in DC where Chicago historically has one of the best attendance to Honor Our Fallen.

Watch for uncertain policy up to the last minute as far as time due, furloughs etc.

By the way 99% of the attendees are there on their own time and dime.

We can only pray that we have no one from Chicago to honor next year, or forever for that matter.

God Bless all that serve.

It is said that there are at least a half million illegal immigrants in this sanctuary city.

If just one percent of them represents terrorist sleeper cells that would be an army of 5,000 martyrs.

Oh the damage and havoc that would cause eh?

It may just make the '68 democratic days of rage convention look like a picnic.

For the younger crowd you can probably find the battlefield scenes from Grant Park back then on youtube.

*****************

The real kicker is that Mike bought a used 2010 Lincoln instead of new. Why did Shields have to spend $37,000.00 for a vehicle? He should have leased an economical vehicle or purchased something like Mark Donahue's Dodge Journey. FOP will probably give Mike his vehicle when he leaves office. This FOP regime is spending money like a bunch of drunken sailors in Singapore.

Mike what happened to the Secondary Employment program modeled on Boston's program? We were told we would be working fests, sporting events and construction sites; I'm still waiting.

I am sure glad that I am retired and have moved out of the city. I would not want to be an active cop and work that G8 conference. It will be much worse then the two democratic conventions that I have attended. I feel sorry for the guys and gals to will work those days. It was revealed that the mayor was promised the G8 by the President the day Ramh won the mayor's race. Now,you know one of the main reasons he brought McCarthy to Chicago. They better hire 500 more cops by then or they will have hell to pay.

This isn't going to be 1968. You don't have a motivated Police force that will protect the City.

We are undermanned and under trained. Federal money for the Department has been mismanaged or outright stolen. Most importantly we are under motivated. We have been vilified in the Media for years and are treated like shit for doing a job that needs to be done.

You have taught your children to 'question authority" for so long, they no longer listen to authority at all. It's all about them.

The 'have nots' have turned in to the "give me mine". No one works, no one wants to be American and everyone is afraid of being labeled a racist, so they don't protect their own self interests - like THIS COUNTRY!

Have it here? BIG problem.
