Help is Coming

  • Gov. Pat Quinn is willing to discuss sending in reinforcements from the Illinois State Police to help Chicago authorities deal with the violence, after a mass shooting Thursday night left 13 people injured, including a 3-year-old boy.

    The governor “stands ready” to talk with Mayor Rahm Emanuel and law enforcement officials in Chicago “about the possibility of providing additional Illinois State Police reinforcements to help stop the violence,” Quinn spokeswoman Brooke Anderson said Saturday.

    Quinn told reporters earlier in the day he hadn’t spoken yet with the mayor or Police Supt. Garry McCarthy.

    “If they want to speak to me about that,” Quinn said, “I’m certainly always willing and able to sit down.”
Help will arrive - just as soon as Grau gets the State Police Academy up and running and filled with eager troopers ready to battle crime! Wait, you mean no one told Quinn the State Academy was about as bare as ours had been? That the State Police stopped hiring around the time we did five years ago due to "budgetary constraints" and now they are as short as any police force around the State? That Grau was hired like McCarthy was, to be an outsider wielding an axe.

Unless once again, the solution, is to strip cops/troopers from taxpaying areas and dumping the entire force into the ghetto - that couldn't be the entire plan, could it?

UPDATE: Post clarified to demonstrate the lack of hiring for 5 years and the near-futile efforts to keep up with attrition

Still, wouldn't you have liked to have been a fly on the wall to see rahmmy's reaction when he heard this?!?! His head probably turned purple and was pulsating. Rammy doesn't like being shown up...especially by Potatohead.

The answer to SCC's questions is "none of the above".

Quinn has learned the value of the press conference. The headlines will read "Governor Offers Help". He looks like a hero, no help ever has to be given and everything goes on as it did before.

Hey SCC. I hate to try to use your blog as a tool for this. But every copper in Chicago has come across such gross neglect of the Link card system. That it actually sickens them. Selling them outright or using them to buy refundable bottles of milk which is then poured out and the bottles returned for cash to buy newports etc. Each and everyone of us has a story much like that I'm sure. I was appalled to find this story not listed on any of the US news sources and only available on the BBC. I would really like regular citizens to know the abuse in the system. House republicans are trying, but can we open up the comments to see what the masses of us blue shirts have seen? Something has to change with this system. At least the public who reads this blog should be in the know. I just want people to understand that its not taking away from people, but that it's being abused horribly. When it was set up our leaders couldn't fathom a world where people wouldn't want to better themselves. This is that world. Pay attention. Way to much free money being handed out.

McCarthy will be part of Rahm's upcoming strategy to accept publicly that there are places where a new direction is needed and there are things we need to do with a fresh approach.

It's those b.s. platitudes that buy second chances from an electorate that likes to hear their leaders admit fault without admitting fault.

While Rahm is going around promising more unbelievably ridiculous nonsense to his kool-aid drinking democrat zombies, McCarthy knows this means his turn at the podium giving weekly fake strategy updates and feigning a strong conviction with an almost straight face are fast coming to an end.

Gulliford will dutifully play the role of interim superintendent before making his own admitted exit much the way of past up-and-comings. Staples will take his place as chief of patrol as Wysinger ultimately gets the nod as Rahm's next Super puppet.

Look for cdr. Jones (020), next 1st Dep.

This gives the much needed political cover for the required debt to the presumptive segments looking for validation, while giving the impression that Rahm is ready to look from within to take the necessary steps to tackle the issues facing the department and the communities most effected.

Meanwhile, Leo remains the hottest thing in law enforcement since Wyatt Earp... in his own mind, but the consolation is that while his face turns red in embarrassment for the obvious slight, no one can tell the difference.

This violence will eventually bankrupt the City, State and County. In a few weeks, when Obamacare kicks in "Navigators" will be taking all the information, medical records, SS numbers, addresses etc. The "Navigators" are to be hired by Community organizations, community activist, Church groups, etc. No background checks are required for the job, the "navigators" must match the racial and ethnic makeup of the communities that hire them. There is absolutely no control over this at this time. Think Obama phones were out of hand? wait until they start using and selling your information. This is going to be very interesting more jobs for cease fire. Lock and Load people.

So, the Chicago coppers have completely lost control of the streets in their own city. According to the Chief, the answer is more gun control laws, assault weapon bans and ban on hi-cap mags. Or so I hear on the news. Somehow, I don't think more gun control laws are the answer, but stop and frisk, like in NYC might help.

The truth about the violence reduction program aka VRI. The program started with over 400 veteran officers patrolling high crime areas, split up into little boxes. The program was extremely successful and the shootings dropped by 60% and murders by 40%.

After one year the city decided to become cheap. They placed money over citizen's lives, by cutting over the 400 veteran officers to less than 200 veteran officers. The Chicago Police Department substituted these 400 veteran officers with probationary officers, who are untrained, making 15 dollars less per hour.

As a result of this stupid cost saving measure, within three weeks of reducing the veteran officer manpower, the massive shooting massacre occurred. What high ranking police boss or was it Rahm made this foolish decision to cut the veteran officers numbers by over half?

There is no doubt in my mind, that if they would have had the 400 veteran officers out there patrolling, the shooting most likely would not have occurred, because of the high visible patrol.

Maybe these politicians should stop spending money on public infrastructure improvements, like new streets, sidewalks and street lights, in these high crime areas, where there are two houses on a block and the rest are boarded up.

These politicians should spend this money on public safety because its only a matter of time, before we have another St. Valentine's Day Massacre.

It's up to you Chicago to vote these clown politicians out of office.

Airplane finds surprising landing strip: Lake Shore Drive


By Adam SegeTribune reporter
11:40 a.m. CDT, September 22, 2013



The man who landed his airplane on Lake Shore Drive early Sunday morning peered past rows of police cars, gaping drivers and news trucks, searching for his fiancee's red SUV while giving her directions.

"You can't miss it," said the soft-spoken pilot into his cellphone.

Indeed, the sight of an airplane parked on a strip of grass by Buckingham Fountain caused quite the spectacle Sunday morning. Police officers posed for photos, drivers slowed for a closer look, and joggers and bikers on the lakeshore path traded witty one-liners.

"Oh … this is where I left my airplane," one biker shouted to a companion.

Just two hours earlier, John Pedersen of Lombard had been flying his two-seater plane over downtown Chicago when a stabilizing part broke loose, causing the aircraft to shake violently.

Unable to regain stability, the 51-year-old electrician radioed a mayday call to O'Hare Airport.

"There's no way I could have got it to Midway or O'Hare," he said.

At the time of the mayday call, about 5:45 a.m., he was flying just 1,900 feet above Millennium Park, he said.

The sun had not yet risen over Lake Michigan, but already Lindsay O'Brien was starting to set up a water station in Grant Park for a 20-mile run. Looking up, she saw Pedersen's plane flying south across the western portion of the park, then banking and flying above Lake Shore Drive.

"I was like, 'That's really low,' " she later recalled. "And then he disappeared out of my sightline."

Pedersen. who said he had been flying for five years, had decided the drive was his best landing spot. If timed correctly, he figured, he could bring down the plane while traffic was stopped at a red light.

"You pick a landing spot that's not going to jeopardize anybody else," he said.

When the light on East Balbo Avenue turned red, he brought the plane down in the northbound lanes, its nose facing north.

It was a tricky landing, but he stuck it, Chicago Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford said admiringly.

Two cars actually hit the airplane after it landed – and then, mysteriously, sped off, Pedersen said. One can only imagine what their drivers were thinking.

what are the State Police going to do? They are shrinking (not as fast as Chicago's manpower) but they are spread thin across the entire state already. Send us a dozen troopers cars to patrol the city streets? Every car they pull over in the ghetto district has either no drivers license, suspended drivers license or a revoked drivers license. They'll spend their entire tour writing tickets in the station. They still avoid to talk about the obvious. The court system is broken, not bent but broken and the mass shortage of police officers in Chicago (1,876 but who's counting) has a great impact on crime, public safety and most importantly to me, OFFICER SAFETY. and Rahm wants to cut the police budget another 10% next year....

Further clarification....

Class13-8 is only 24 strong out of 28 that were hired. Three didn't show and one left the first day. All classes have more than one recruit already certified by the state to be the police. Instead they must sit in classes for six months while they are taught outdated material. They are being trained for a test they don't have to take instead of using them wisely by consolidating their training and shipping them to help in the districts. Looks like they are down to the bottom of the 2010 list. Putting the PPO's on the street corners is not going to solve anything. They will just be sitting ducks and become targets. These ballbags know this and will take advantage of the lack of experience.

Please hair gels, reelect your guy Shields when the time comes. Enjoy your 100 dollar retro check in two years and pay more for medical benifits.

I'll no longer support the CPD as well as any city officials! No longer will I encourage anyone including children to love the CPD and our city! I'm so finished, disgusted and done! The first cop was a bully, as we were leaving to pack up for he day, a second police officer was a jerk and said, he was sent to write us the tickets? What the hell is going on here? While we have shooting one mile away, gang activity, muggings, rapes, pan handlers, it takes 4 squads to issue 2 parking tickets for a doggy treat truck! Are you kidding? What the hell has our city turned into? With many residents sticking up for the Fido To Go truck as well as being nothing but supportive, the Andersonville Police did not care what they said! Wow, makes me wonder if it's the CPD that is really stirring up most of the issues with crime and such! If we continue to have issues in Andersonville, we'll have no choice and to bypass the neighborhood. We apologize. I'm so touched how everyone stuck up for us and have nothing but respect and love for you all! Xo How sad and what has our city become? #Andersonville #dogs #Chicago" -----

You must be a Chicago public school product. Your reading comprehension skill are sorely lacking. The lack of hiring in the last few years is what the point was. The fact that they're only now pushing recruits through the academy is an act of desperation to keep up with those who are retiring. We're still short and they expect to keep us that way for the foreseeable future.

If goofy is right and it was an assault weapon, figure an AK-47 or AR-15, I would figure that more people would be dead or seriously injured. Maybe it was a .22 semi auto. I would like to hear what shells were recovered. This man is a disgrace to the Police Dept. Thank you

I was thinking the same thing.. How can a .223 rifle bullet fired at closer distance not rip your arm,leg, or head off if a direct hit? I bet it was a .22 also. I saw one guy was hit and released that night. Maybe struck by fragments? Just wondering......

You guys were not in the military. That's why you believe socialists and their evil gun myths. A 5.56 X45 mm or a 7.62 X 39 mm fired from an AR platform or an AK or SKS will not rip your arm or leg off.

Why don't you get to a range and ask someone that knows before you spout off such bullshit and sound like uneducated morons? Educate yourselves and then speak intelligently on the topic. Don't throw out bullshit you've heard like some sort of Cliff Claven Cheers goofballs. You're not helping by sounding like dumb asses. Leave that to the socialists and their useful idiots.

9/22/2013 11:03:00 AM

No, that's not what was said. You are entitled to police service, just like EVERYONE ELSE IS. If my 30 square mile district has less police than your 4.5 square mile district, do you see that as a problem? Those of us who pay higher taxes would like our FAIR share of the pie. Instead, most of the pie goes to the smallest areas, and the larger areas suffer with higher crime, because someone said 'oh look there's almost no crime there, lets take their police' So what happens? someone figures out there are less police there and the crime moves in.

I can remember years where 016 had ZERO homicides. IN 2010, which is the last year the CPD annual report is available for (almost 4 years to cook the books I guess)there were 5. So yes, I'd like my police too

Oxygen thief M/Fer was in E/R with shit in his drawers and a busted big toe because he was wearing FLIP-FLOPS while touting his nation to a carload of other oxygen thieves... It wasn't for lack of effort that they didn't put a missile or three in his ass as he shit himself while knocking his toe nail off trying to get away...

These are the mutts getting YOUR POLICE PRESENCE AND SERVICE!

Stinking of shit and still being gangsta... "Naw! I don't need no m/fin' report!"

The taxpayers ought to be all up in Rahm's narrow ass like cheap tissue for stealing from them.

Here's a facebook post to read from Fido to Go (the post was later removed, but not before several times announcing that Fido to Go proudly placed complaints against the police) ----- "Fido to Go - Wow! I'm so sorry #Andersonville for the mess with the CPD! We have never received this treatment from any of the Police Officers in Andersonville until now! So disgusted and disappointed! I'll no longer support the CPD as well as any city officials! No longer will I encourage anyone including children to love the CPD and our city! I'm so finished, disgusted and done! The first cop was a bully, as we were leaving to pack up for he day, a second police officer was a jerk and said, he was sent to write us the tickets? What the hell is going on here? While we have shooting one mile away, gang activity, muggings, rapes, pan handlers, it takes 4 squads to issue 2 parking tickets for a doggy treat truck! Are you kidding? What the hell has our city turned into? With many residents sticking up for the Fido To Go truck as well as being nothing but supportive, the Andersonville Police did not care what they said! Wow, makes me wonder if it's the CPD that is really stirring up most of the issues with crime and such! If we continue to have issues in Andersonville, we'll have no choice and to bypass the neighborhood. We apologize. I'm so touched how everyone stuck up for us and have nothing but respect and love for you all! Xo How sad and what has our city become? #Andersonville #dogs #Chicago" -----

Apart from the question of WHY we need a 'food truck' that tours the city selling DOG TREATS...

Don't we all wonder what the real story is? Is FurballTruck licensed? Was it parked in an authorized zone? Was it blocking access to something? Were the operators combative? Did they refuse legal orders?
And, if they plan to deter little children from respecting the police, do they intend to set an example and call LIBRARIANS if they're stuck up, attacked or they have an accident?

That's why there's currently a burglary/home invasion pattern in Sauganash.

Offenders are (2) male blacks. One is 30yrs. old, 6' 3",170 lbs.,grey t-shirt,jeans,possible facial hair. Possibly wearing an orange vest. No description on the other.

One waits in the car while the other rings the bell or knocks on the door. If no response, entry is made by forcing the door or a window.

Why don't you get to a range and ask someone that knows before you spout off such bullshit and sound like uneducated morons? Educate yourselves and then speak intelligently on the topic. Don't throw out bullshit you've heard like some sort of Cliff Claven Cheers goofballs. You're not helping by sounding like dumb asses. Leave that to the socialists and their useful idiots. Grab a book, study and learn to think for yourselves.

I have often seen Troopers in action on the streets of the 10th District and they acted with great skill and courage. They had the BFGs (Big Frigging Guns /M4s) long before we did.

Funny thing, they stopped coming around when Pena brought in Captain White.

Another thing, closing Meiggs Field had nothing to do with security. It was so Richie's pals could build hi-rise buildings in the flight paths. Isn't he "working" for the parking meter company now?

9/22/2013 10:01:00 PM


Meigs Field was plowed under was so his lard ass wife could look good with her friends in "Friends of the Parks." The only high rises near the flight paths were there years before. Mostly it is lake in the path. It was a single runway oriented North-South.

Richy works for the law firm that brokered the deal with the parking meter company. For what they made they can give Richy an office and big leather chair and some dummy work to do. You don't think they would trust any real legal work to Mumbles, do you? It is payback, nothing more, instead of the fat envelopes full of cash, they give him a big paying do-nothing job.

Fact is, we are fucked out there, what rahm and mccarthy have done to this police department will take years to undo.

It will get worse, much worse, lbefore it gets better.

Remember, Rahm has changed the budget, cutting thousands of police officers completely out of the budget. Before, even if we didn't always have full strength, at least we always had the money in the budget so the City could start hiring if/when they needed and decided to actually spend the budgeted amount on the police.

Not exactly. After cutting budgeted number of officers they declared the police department was at full strength. In their mind, it was, the new, lowered budgeted number.

30 years ago the City responded to an expose by Pam Zekman on beat cars not being manned, The City redrew all beat boundaries creating new, larger beats. Also fewer beats. Fewer but larger.

Than the City declared all beats manned. Similar sleight of hand now,

Like making the trains run on time in Italy, they changed the schedule, voila! Trains then on time.

no, not when twenty really does have nothing better to do. If there really were that many squads there to issue a lady a parking ticket, it doesn't surprise me since half the coppers in twenty don't know how or when to take police action.

The difference here is the scared coppers are out hunting for easy targets like soccer moms and old women to sandbag so they can keep their management spots on days or afternoons because they are deathly afraid to do their time on midnights just like they were deathly afraid to ever do a single day in a fast district.

Or any district where they would have been laughed at for going by the book on a corn vendor, the guy selling fruit out of a truck, a guy selling socks on a street corner, the guys selling roses, the guys selling peanuts, the guys selling water, the guys selling popsicles, ice cones, panhandling...

She MF'd people who complained, she MF'd the copper who was sent out on a 911 call, she MF'd the Sgt she called 911 for demanding a supervisor.

This form of help won't help
=========
Poverty consumes so much mental energy that people struggling to make ends meet often have little brainpower left for anything else, leaving them more susceptible to bad decisions that can perpetuate their situation, according to a study published Thursday in the journal Science.

“Past research has often blamed [poverty] on the personal failings of the poor. They don’t work hard enough; they’re not focused enough,” said University of British Columbia professor Jiaying Zhao,who co-authored the study as a Princeton University graduate student. “What we’re arguing is it’s not about the individual. It’s about the situation.”

As part of the study, researchers conducted experiments on two groups of subjects: low- and middle-income shoppers in a mall in New Jersey, and sugar cane farmers in rural India.

In the mall experiment, shoppers underwent a battery of tests to measure IQ and impulse control. However, half the participants were first given a “teaser” question —what they would do if their car had broken down and needed $1,500 worth of repairs —designed to put a pressing financial concerns at the forefront of their thoughts.

In India, researchers tested the cognitive capacity and decision-making of farmers before the sugar cane harvest, when they were most strapped for money, and afterwards, when they had fewer financial woes.

The results showed that people wrestling with the mental strain of poverty suffered a drop of as much as 13 points in their IQ —roughly the same found in people subjected to a night with no sleep.

“Poverty is the equivalent of pulling an all-nighter,” said Harvard economist Sandhil Mullainathan, another of the study’s authors. “Picture yourself after an all-nighter. Being poor is like that every day.”

Mullainathan said previous research often has assumed that poor people are poor because they are somehow less capable than others, whether inherently or because of past trauma or other environmental factors in their lives. But, he said, what the latest study suggests is that the strain of poverty can tax the cognitive abilities of anyone experiencing it —and that those abilities return when the burden of poverty disappears.

“While the poor may be experiencing a scarcity of money, at some level what they may really be experiencing is a scarcity of bandwidth, of cognitive capacity,” he said. “It’s the situation that’s creating the stress.”

Zhao and Mullainathan said that their findings, if accurate, could have profound implications for public policy.

For starters, policymakers “should beware of imposing cognitive taxes on the poor just as they avoid monetary taxes on the poor,” the paper states. Filling out long forms, deciphering complicated rules or undergoing lengthy interviews can consume scarce cognitive resources.

“You are captured by these monetary issues —how to pay rent, how to pay bills,” Zhao said. “As a result, you’re less attentive to other problems. You neglect other things in life that deserve your attention.”

The Cook County Sheriffs Police would be thrilled to help you guys. We really do. We wanted to help out with NATO, but because Dart didn't get a engraved silver invitation from your mayor, dart being the narcissistic jag bag that he is didn't allow our department to help you. Trust me, I know, this is the truth.

Now this thing comes up. I know for a fact that your brass want us to help you but again the Sheriff will not lift a finger unless Emanuel gets on his knees begging, eyes skyward towards dart. Just ask Georgias about this if you don't believe me.

Almost 8 years of this SOB Dart. We are the laughing stock of Illinois Law Enforcement. You think you have it bad under Weis, Cline or McCarthy? They clowns can not hold a candle to our clowns.

I am a Police Officer. I always thought I was a pretty good one. I was an FTO and a Detective, now I am back in patrol doing my time until it is time to go. Heck, I even taught Field Force under Jerry Janosz. So I think we (I at least) could have helped you at NATO. I remember a time when we were a damned good department, and had a true "don't fuck with us" reputation. Now that ship has long sailed away. I am surrounded by weak supervisors and traffic Nazis. Next, the Court Bailiffs want to run us, and now we got one of them as our FDC for a week now. Very sad.




You're whole department is traffic nazis. I've seen you clowns hide out in stickney and be quick to pull over a Mexican or soccer mom, but ignore the car full of shitheads that stares you down as they drive by.

She MF's several citizens that asked her to move off the corner--they called 911 as a parker with a disturbance. She MF'd the officers who got the job. She MF'd the Sergeant who showed up after she called 911. She was looking for a supervisor to take take her side and didn't. She kept dropping that her husband was CFD (as if that would mean something if push came to shove)

She's really lucky we really didn't go by the book, arrest her, impound the truck and get a city inspector all over her operation.
