New York Again?

Why don't we just import their command staff? Oh yeah, we tried that - FAIL:
  • Even before President Donald Trump tweeted a threat to send “in the Feds” to curb Chicago’s gun violence, he was saying on the campaign trail that there was a simple solution to the bloodshed: police should get tougher.

    Chicago should follow the lead of New York City, Trump’s administration has said, and crack down on even the smallest offenses.

    It turns out Chicago Police Supt. Eddie Johnson visited the New York Police Department weeks before the Trump administration advice. But what he gleaned from a city that has achieved long term success in fighting crime was more nuanced than a Trump-inspired police crackdown.

    Johnson came home with ideas aimed at increasing community trust by using technology to get Chicago police officers out of their squad cars, and putting new cadets in neighborhoods to walk the streets and talk to locals.
CPD tried that, too - the new kids were skipping (delaying) their training cycled due to not having enough FTO's, running around the west and south sides, unsupervised, in some of the most violent areas of Chicago, generating thousands of what turned out to be improper Contact Cards. Fucking brilliant that was.
  • “We are only as strong as the faith the community has in us,” Johnson said.

    Gaining that community trust will be a tall order in a city suffering from a toxic brew of rising violent crime in some of its poorest neighborhoods along with anger at police after the release in 2015 of a video showing a white police officer shooting black teenager Laquan McDonald 16 times.
And again - one cop, one incident, hardly indicative of the Department as a whole...unless you accept the narrative being peddle by the media, the ACLU, Sparklefart's administration, assorted "revunds" with axes to grind and the activists looking for the next big pool of grant money.
  • That lack of faith has had grave consequences in Chicago where many people living in high-crime neighborhoods are reluctant to help police solve them. While the number of homicides surged to the highest in nearly two decades last year at 762, the percentage of those murders solved by police fell ten points to 26 percent, according to a University of Chicago Crime Lab study. In New York, police solve about 70 percent of homicides.

    “We need them (witnesses) to come forward and give us the information so we can put these bad guys in jail,” Johnson said.

    In one example of Chicago’s dilemma, the police department is struggling to draft a new policy on the use of force. An October proposal prompted concern from the police union that the restrictions were so tight officers would put themselves in danger to comply. A new draft released Tuesday would give police more latitude in deciding when to fire their weapons, which pleased the police union but prompted concern from community activists about excessive force.
An excessive force problem that still hasn't been proven to exist by any legitimate data...just the declaration by the ACLU and the unsubstantiated, uncorroborated and unattributed stories told to an outgoing Department of Justice determined to put another feather in its cap.

Does anyone ever wonder how many DOJ investigations DIDN'T result in a finding of unconstitutional "patterns and practices?" We'll give you a hint - it starts with a "Z" and ends with an "ERO." That tells us the fix was in the start.

Guess what special ed. I don't care if we ever solve another one of these murders. They have to live there I just visit for 8 hours a day. They can solve their own problems.

God forbid the scum should be taught to act like human beings who possess a moral compass, instead it is always the cop's fault! Cops have to gain community trust. What does the community give back? Absolfuckingultely nothing!!! Animals in the zoo, no in the wild, have more knowledge as to the laws of nature established by God, than the scum who inhabit parts of Chicago.

"many people living in high-crime neighborhoods are reluctant to help police solve them"

I'm a real estate broker who works in neighborhoods like East Garfield Park and North Lawndale on behalf of investors. These people don't just not talk to cops, they don't talk to anyone for any reason. Its in their culture to not care about one another.

Example: I'm about to walk into a vacant renovated multifamily. I hear water spraying even from the outside. "Neighbor" is standing on her porch watching me. I ask if she knows if anyone is in there, as a matter for my safety, not to report to the police - she "doesn't know anything [substitute ebonics]" and goes inside. I walk in and ALL copper was gutted to the meter which was spraying water. Couldn't have been much more than an hour before because the basement was still semi-dry.

No no no - she didn't see nothing though. 100s of lbs of copper walked out, she's on the porch all day, but can't f-ing tell me yea, there's a chance some wacko is in there so don't go in. Thanks. That's about how much they care about one another and their own communities.

Yes sir, SCC. And one of the authors of the anecdote laden DOJ report, Zachary Fardon, bid Chicago farewell as he leaves his post as US Attorney for Northern IL. His parting remarks included pushing Chicago to accept and sign a Federal consent decree. An interesting observation was that we should stop trying to "police on the cheap" with inadequate funding. Certainly some truth in that remark, are you listening, Rahm? Or are you too busy painting a bike lane Emergency Zone on the 606 trail so the next mugging victim can be found by the ambulance crew?

Under very difficult circumstances with Barry in charge things spiraled down word quickly and this US attorney is leaving just wonder how much more pressure he had to not really do the job that needed to be done due to the Democratic criminals in charge just wonder also who the replacement will be God willing the Democrats in charge will not be taken seriously if they offer a replacement that is a pet for the Democratic criminal enterprise in this city state and county. Hoping and praying that the team Attorney General Jeff recessions is getting together and training now coming to the City Hall like gangbusters and absolutely look at everything involved in the bookkeeping in the offices in the positions the violations of federal law by keeping criminal illegal invaders in our city and load up the busses bring them all to the federal building and prosecute according to law law and order is back.

You can't "police" democrats. They never do anything wrong and if they're caught doing something wrong, it's always someone else's fault!
Liberal democrats are un-American. They only want American taxpayer dollars to pay for the welfare of every illegal alien and every other liberal democrat on the planet.
Their actions speak louder than words. In the destruction of America, the first thing that has to go is the law and the men and women enforcing those laws.
Chicago just has a better start than the rest of the country. If things don't change, Chicago could reflect what the rest of the country will be.
Stay safe Officers.

How many of those left for the CFD?

Commander (Deputy Chief) MP followed that mans leadership and pushed her officers to do more contacts. If the officers failed to meet the given "index" level, she disciplined them by dumping them from their cars and broke up partners. One officer took his own life after his life was disrupted with her discipline (broke up partners) over what she felt was a lack of activity (now that was a little extreme I know. RIP brother). How was she dealt with? Promoted of course. Self proclaimed "New Sheriff in town". I wonder if the contact card index printouts are still available for viewing. Updated daily, I remember contact card missions. That was the beginning of the end of real policing in Chicago. Brought to us by outsiders and merit bosses.

First of all Jugghead Special Ed spent a few days in NYC sampling the bill of fare. From pizza to Nathans.
If he came back with anything more than a full wallet and heartburn I'd be surprised.

The whole obama-rahm DOJ query was a scheme to deflect Rahm's responsibility and knowledge off what transpired.
If they want a NYC style policing, then get rid of shameless Merit Hacks, keep the PD free from City Hall meddling.
It easy to blame the flunky patrolman for a misjudgment on training. All Rahm has to say is that he tried, we on the other hand get run through the media and IPRA-COPA.

Anyone who is still willing to go out on a limb for Special Ed and Rahm will be always be sorry, after the fact when reality sets in.

Fardon makes some good points in his letter:

http://abc7chicago.com/politics/dear-doj-chicago-us-attorney-leaves-letter-on-way-out-door/1798469/

We need to flood those neighborhoods with local and federal law enforcement officers" wrote Fardon. "Not just to arrest the bad guys but also to be standing on that corner where shots otherwise might get fired, to be breaking up those corner loiterers, and to be meeting and learning and knowing the kids, the people, and the truth of who are the good guys, who are the bad guys, and who isn't yet formed and can be swayed."

(Flood the neighborhoods great idea except we will be accused of racism and other things and the dishonest 24/7 media will be bashing us,as our inept command staff bow down to the thugs and criminals).

Fardon, in his going away letter, stated: "Some people recently have said bring in the National Guard. If you care only about the short view, maybe there's some attractiveness to that notion.
(the alderman object to this they are scared of law and order being restored they must be "comfortable" with the excessive blood flow!)

Simple concept have the mayor the 50 and of course the toni and tommy team resign immediately it would be a positive start! "the fish stinks from the head down!"

May I suggest a "Contract with the Black Community"?
Police will "enter the community" only when asked by an authorized member empowered directly through this contract to ask.
Police will only police in such a way as asked, again, by one empowered to ask.
Police will only leave "the community' with a offender, when asked, again by one empowered directly by "the community".
The one empowered to ask, when they ask, assumes any and all responsibility for the police actions taken AND said requester WILL take ALL responsibility for delivering "community support" up to and including testifying in court against the offender.

Will "the community" agree?

Then STFU. Until then, "the community" is getting exactly what it demanded.
Cops - stay safe, stay away from areas where you are not wanted in the first place.

But then again we have a mayor and elected individuals who violate federal immigration laws blatantly and even using Chicago text payers money to find lawyers to protect him which is totally ridiculous and way against the law.

New York headline 1 year ago

New York City Murder Rate Drops To Historic Low
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/nypd-low-crime-first-quarter-2016_us_5702b0dae4b0a06d580653e3?utm_hp_ref=new-york-crime

De Blasio said the statistics are linked to an increased focus from the New York City Police Department on getting guns off the streets — the NYPD has already seized over 800 guns, a more than 15 percent increase compared with the first quarter of 2015. Gun arrests are also up by about 13 percent, de Blasio said.

(Well that is a great idea)

One of the few categories that rose in the first quarter was stabbings and slashings, Bratton said, with 899 so far this year. (There were 746 at this point last year.) The NYPD is increasing its focus on that category and Bratton said he is “comfortable” saying that statistic will also come down over time.

(Get rid of guns use knives)

Bratton defended the NYPD’s reduced number of stop-and-frisks on Monday, calling it “precision policing” and predicted that by year’s end the NYPD will probably hit about 25,000 stops — a dramatic decrease from a peak of almost 700,000 stops in 2011, under Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

(Precision policing that's the secret less stops but be more precise, working vri need more precision spilled my coffee, got magazine wet more precision)
