One Thousand "Extra"

Where have they been hiding you ask? Well, they aren't really "extra."
  • Chicago Police Supt. Eddie Johnson announced Tuesday that the department will be ramping up officer deployment over Memorial Day weekend in an effort to curb shootings over the historically violent holiday.

    More than 1,000 additional officers will be deployed citywide over the weekend, Johnson said at a press conference at CPD headquarters. There will also be an influx in officer deployment throughout the summer as well.

    “You’ll see a significant presence, obviously, on the lakefront, downtown areas, but they’ll also be in the communities, so we’re not leaving any area of the city untouched,” Johnson said.

    Johnson was joined by Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx, Chicago Fire Dept. Commissioner Jose Santiago, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois John Lausch, Illinois State Police Director Leo Schmitz, DEA Special Agent in Charge Brian McKnight and ATF Special Agent in Charge Celinez Nunez.
So a bunch of these 1,000 aren't actually CPD. And a reporter actually asked an intelligent question:
  • Johnson deflected when asked how the influx in officers would be paid for, but department spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said officers’ “elective time off was canceled” and “days off were adjusted for the weekend.”

    Only some teams assigned to work the weekend would be paid through overtime, he added.
Well that's bullshit. Anyone who wants to work their day off is being allowed to work it, on their regular shift in their regular Districts.

Ed mouths the party line, directly from Rahm's scriptwriters:
  • “You can’t put a price on safety, you just can’t,” Johnson said. “And so I just want to thank the mayor and City Council for giving CPD the resources we need to help keep this city safe.”

    As it did last year, the department will also execute arrest warrants of for those who are likely to engage in weekend violence, Johnson said.

    “Anything that we can do to prevent violence in the city, we’re going to do,” he said.
Sure you can put a price on it Ed - that's why there's a Special Event number being generated that appears on each and every OT slip...so Finance can track it. But don't count on someone FOIA-ing the totals. And if Special Ed knows where these subjects of existing Arrest Warrants are hiding, why haven't they been picked up prior to this weekend?

We realize most reporters aren't intelligent enough to do the leg work and ask the right questions, but you'd think they could find people to point them in the general direction.

Are they utilizing the recruits at the academy? There are at least 500 in the academy and some are 3,4 or 5 months into their training and could be sent to concerts, lakefront, downtown They do it to the Bud Billiken parade and picnic so there is no reason they can do it on Memorial Day

The city certainly hasn't put a price on protecting the safety of the mayor's home on a 24/7/365 basis for the past seven years, but we can. Anyone driving past can see the officer in the front, the officer in the back and the car dedicated to driving around the block. That's 3 officers a watch, 3 watches a day, for nine officers a day. Multiplied by 365, that's 3,285 Police shifts a year, or 26,280 police hours each year to guard a house but not just any house, the mayor's house. Nobody on that assignment is likely to have less than five years on the job, so that's a minimum hourly salary of $45 (just base salary), which comes out to $1,182,000 a year in basic police salary, just to guard the mayor's house, 24/7/365 whether he is home or not. That comes out to $8,274,000 since he has been mayor to guard his house. This doesn't include his CPD personal protective/family chauffeur service. $8,274,000 to protect a house that is worth how much? Meanwhile if you live in the surrounding communities of Wrigleyville, Roscoe Village, Lincoln Square and Uptown with shootings, armed robberies and carjackings you are fucked because in those areas they have put a price on safety and determined it's too expensive.

Will all of the free attorneys from First Defense Legal Aid be squatting in our stations this long holiday weekend? Doubtful - they have out of town plans to escape this shithole. If they do show up, will they notice the disproportionate number of brown and black offenders? That’s just because of racist police though, right? Even when 90% of arrests will be minority on minority crime.

The truth hurts. If those lawyers are there, I’d like to overwhelm them with clients so they can get a crash course in following a case through the Crook County “justice” system. Of course at the first court appearance they’ll be replaced by public defenders - that’s how much they care about “the community”.

Maybe Chance the cross-eyed Rapper can play a concert at one of the beaches while it goes up for grabs. A soundtrack to accompany the lawless behavior of wild animals just funnin.

Then look at this guy’s comment he’s moving because of the cost of living being too high in the city of Chicago could to truth be he’s moving because the cost of dying or being maimed Is the real reason, which strongly bet he told the dishonest reporter this and they somehow neglected to put that in the story!

Stonecipher’s family has lived in the 3700 block of North Troy Street for about three years, but this was the first time a shooting happened on the residential street, he said.years, but this was the first time a shooting happened on the residential street, he said.

They sure like throwing around that number, “we have 1,000 extra officers on the street this weekend.” Do they even have any clue how many officers they have cancelled or called back. It would be interesting for someone in finance who records the slips with the reimbursement number to tell us exactly how many total slips for cancelled RDO they receive. I’ll bet 100 toothpicks it’s not close to a 1,000.

Not enough but but we are putting more cameras in to make you safe says rahm:

The cameras aren't enough. It's not enough. It's not enough. We actually need a presence of a policeman to be there," Douglas said.

What do people want:

CTA riders once again worried about their safety after hearing about the stabbing.

"I worry about people who are going to rob me or the gangs that get on the train and want to mess around, so it's all due to the lack of policemen being on the platform," said Terry Douglas, who takes the CTA

Again and again rahm you and the protected 50 along with Toni Tommy kimmy in the sidecar absolutely failure again! Face it besides being the most corrupt Chicago next will be world news as most violent! As a matter of fact the bbc from Britain just came out with another investigative piece on Chicago’s shooting victims strange the come from across the sea many miles but our dishonest hate the police not the criminals media sees nothing!

I know it will never happen I’ve been retired for three years, and cops will stab each other in the back over the littlest thing. Forget the March downtown, or do both but if you guys just didn’t work any special for one week in the summer it would send a sign, good luck getting the guys to do it though. You can blame it on college tutition, having to send your’s kids to private schools whatever you want but if you can’t afford to miss a couple days of overtime to send a message, you have no one to blame but yourself and you better reevaluate your financial situation . Goodluck stay safe.

But with American traditions and values under threat, I suppose more Police are required to protect those traditions.
