Half a Weekend Totals? Doubled Overnight

  • Shootings left three men dead and at least 14 others wounded from early Saturday afternoon to early morning Sunday, according to authorities.
And the silence from 35th Street is just deafening.

Sure is quiet at headquarters. How are those strategies working out for you Garry. Come on Rahm. Can't you see this guy is in way over his head? Get a real law enforcement officer here to straighten this ship out. Enough is enough already!

Shootings would probably be higher if the Hood Rats could find some ammo for sale, just wait till the stores in Indiana have full stocks of ammo again, it will turn the ghetto into a shooting gallery.

Stress On The Job

If you are experiencing some stress on this job then take it easy. Take a few days off. Instead of checking the money box, check the time due box. In a typical year, just by working holidays and r.d.o.'s on holidays and court I accumulate 180 hours of comp time. Intermittently I take two or three days off along with my two r.d.o.'s for a little mini break. It feels great! Too many of us don't take care of ourselves.

Probably not for long. I predict that'll change sometime this coming week.

We now expect to hear the word "spike" as though it's all just a temporary event and that things are totally under control.

Time will tell but I think most of us know the answer.

What additional word/statistics games can we expect?

How about the crime over here in this little district isn't so bad..or perhaps this little beat.

Don't look at the bodies over there in that beat. OH-NO, look over here at Maggie Daley park. After school matters ya know...as the mayor tears down another community establishment called La Casatia .

Was Rahm all about the children or about a monument to the Daley's the people wonder?

He tears down a community center instructing his people to promote the tired worn out propaganda "we are concerned for your safety" hahahah.

Yeah, so concerned for the public's safety that district after district goes into a RAP status will calls like " person with a gun" goes unanswered for two to three hours!!

So much for the McCarthy "Broken Windows" crime fighting.

Was the school zone speed trap cameras all about the children's safety. Hard to believe that when the mayors actions exponentially increased the number of streets THE CHILDREN will have to cross now that 50 schools have been closed.

USE THE CRISIS!

This is how we ended up with an end around on the US constitution. You create a crisis and evoke fear so that you can create laws, fines, fees that would not normally be tolerated.

It's how the health care benefits and pensions will be stolen. Create a large enough crisis with the related fear to back it up so that getting only ten cents on the dollar of your pension money sounds like a good deal.

CREATE THE DISASTER -- USE THE CRISIS

Don't let in go to waste!

In some circles that is what is called "Disaster Capitalism" Google "The Shock Doctrine"

Using the crisis is what allows the FISA court and the NSA to run unchecked. It's enabl4ed the massive thefts and frauds by corporate bankers. The drug cartel money laundering and the DOJ gun running.

WOW -- OUTSTANDING!!

What a boost to the local economy.

Where's our federal ObamaCare money to patch-up these martyr's and put them back on the streets at the taxpayers expense?

Cha-Ching, Cha-Ching...am I right Rahm?

Teachers says: "every time a gun goes off in the sanctuary city of Chicago a corrupt politician hears a cash register ring"

Was hearing words from a retired border patrol agent today. He said that what we are seeing here isn't possible without political support.

The greatest nation on the planet with the strongest high tech military and security apparatus and yet we can not or will not put an end to the violence.

You think that adds up?

OT: Quinn signed a bill requiring gun owners to check for FOID card of buyer. Wow- this should stop illegal guns! Here's the problem, though. It seems that law abiding citizens already do this, and the law requiring owners to report stolen firearms within 72 hours will do nothing to locate the stolen weapon, while giving the State another loophole to blame and victimize the victim, again!

Hopefully Tio will get elected as governor (just kidding!); Quinn just ain't cutting it!

To Stress On The Job at 1.19pm,,,,,easier said then done.

I wasn't allowed to extend my furlo because of manpower, I haven't been able to take time off any other time (5 requests so far this year) at any other time I've requested because of manpower.

Officers in my unit have been denied personal days put in months in advance to attend their kid's graduations and (in one case) their daughter's wedding. It was only other officers volunteering to work in their stead that allowed them to go to these important events.

So, yes, it it easier said then done in many unit.

The city has deemed it is more important to put in flower boxes, wrought iron fencing and other BS feel good-make work projects than to keep the CPD up to even minimum manpower requirements

Officer safety alert.
In 022 tonight a Dentist had an altercation with his neighbor. He didn't like that the police responded to his home because he was armed and had body armor on while threatening to commit a "justifiable homicide" against his neighbor. He told his wife in front of the officers "The next officer that comes in to my office I'm gonna pour bleach in his mouth!" An information report was generated. Dentist is J. Covington practice is at 10930 s. Western.

Murder and mayhem on the streets of this city aside...

We have just one question.

How is Rahm's war against Policemen and their concerns going?

Yeah... Policemen...

The people Rahm says he has no use for...

The people who Rahm refuses to refresh, replenish and empower to try and mitigate some of the ongoing carnage...

The people whose pensions Rahm said are "a threat."

...Freudian slip notwithstanding.

The people Who Rahm, Rauner, Msall, Fahner, the media and the rest of the Gold Coast/North Shore cocktail party & fundraiser circuit want so desperately to take a bad financial haircut in the name of "pension reform" for the pure sake of totally divesting them and diverting the entirety of their pension monies.

For what? To "remake" Chicago into something that benefits only the cocktail party and fundraiser set?

Yeah... How goes the war against Policemen?

The armed wing of the Catered to Constituency has been allowed to set this city on fire with their violence, ignorance and culture of death worship...

We figured it out...

Rahm is a fucking coward.

Of course he'll shit-talk Policemen and other First Responders with thunderously ignorant statements like "you're gonna have to learn to bleed."

Can you imagine him delivering such a clear and unambiguous "Fuck You" to murdering, don't give no fuck, dead-end, openly braggadocious about having no fear of man, law or death motherfuckers that Policemen HAVE TO contend with while having one hand tied behind their backs?

RAHM ABSOLUTELY HAS NO STOMACH TO FUCK WITH DUDE AND HIS SHIT!

But he's brave when it comes to fucking with Policemen and their families.

Yeah Rahm had a plan to pick a fight with the very and ONLY people tasked with trying to keep the societal toilets from backing up and overflowing...

As it is, He's sitting on McDrunkenLout's shoulders as a hedge against the unpleasant possibility of having to wade through the mud, shit and blood of this intentionally created crime and Police man power crisis that has fully gotten away from all these smart motherfuckers at 3510 S. Michigan Ave. and 111 N. LaSalle St.

All they have left is a 100 mile long high speed train wreck of criminal Municipal Corporate mismanagement highlighted by gyrating numbers, lies, weasel-talk, misinformation and slippery syntax.

They surely give praise to whatever ill spirit, conjure or imp they bow to that the media in this town is so spineless, whorish and compliant.

Yeah... The war against Policemen and their concerns (which is also a war against the law abiding tax-paying citizen) is going swimmingly according to the wholly fucked up calculus Rahm & Co. is using.

"You Coppers are the problem!"

Oh, really?

My guess:
Right now McCarthy and the other two stooges are working with Rahm on an exit strategy. Perhaps the three will be heading to the Obama administration as the national gun violence czar, or some other absurd spot. We've certainly picked up our share of Obama staffers in the CPD.

I'm thinking that the next Supe will be from the outside again, maybe the chief from DC or Atlanta.

And to the watches, keep calling for fill-in sergeants, there'll be no sergeant promotions until after 1 January per the budget office.

This guy is dangerous. Last year, some bank robbery suspects ran past his house. 022 tried to talk to him because he has video cameras mounted on his house, they were trying to get some footage of the bad guys. This dentist was full of hate and contempt for the police, made statements about how much he hates the police, acted like a real nut job. Don't bring yourself or your family anywhere near this guy's practice.

There ya go. Typical off duty, armchair quarterback. Someone tries to wire up the police a out a psycho and make sure our brothers and sisters are informed, and you start criticizing what was done or not done.

You weren't there. Neither was I. But I do know the copper that was, and if a meaningful arrest could have been made, it would have. I made a phone call, And this case is alive and well, still being followed up on by the police and the state agency that can actually do something about it long term. This case involved a third party witness, who needed to be interviewed, and the police made the right call to run things down first.

But you want him to take a misdemenor aggravated assault pinch? And then you indict the whole 022nd District? You should learn how to check into something like a veteran copper, if you actually are one, or leave your know-it-all ignorant comments to yourself.
