Media Cover Up Continues

As posted in the below UPDATES to the "Another Shooting (And Another!)" post, the media continues to either remove or crop the photo of the 13-year-old offender in an effort to alter its meaning. Here's what they show:

And here's the actual photo, given to the media by the family before someone told them this might be a bad idea to have floating around:


It has been pointed out to us by a number of commentators that he is representing one of the most violent street gangs ever to grace the streets of Chicago, namely the vice lords. It has also been mentioned that the nearby Piccolo Elementary School has suffered a rash of windows being shot out by BB's over the past week along with neighborhood cars. Also, the time of the shooting (after 2300 hours) indicates a curfew violation. But none of this is being covered in the media reports now. All we're hearing is how police are too heavy handed, Jimmell was a good boy, there was no gun, blah blah blah.

Two words for the media - Yummy Sandifer.

You think this isn't still happening today? You think the media is doing anything but abetting the next juvenile delinquent by cropping the only decent photo the family had of Jimmell (and it's him throwing up for the nation)? You think making the police the enemy of a community so dysfunctional that their children are amassing felony records before they can legally drive is going to suddenly....

Ah screw it. We can only point out the media hypocrisy and their inept reporting skills for so long before we throw up our hands. Maybe some of the extra visitors we had yesterday will drop back in, see what the media is truly up to, become so disgusted they cancel their subscriptions and the entire dead-tree media dies that much faster.

This is why no one trusts the media anymore. They distort the true story to get sympathy from the viewers who they assume all hate the police and to sway the viewers to think it could have been a bad shooting. It would be nice to see at least one media outlet show the real photo. The media's job is not to take a side(which they always do), but to just report the facts and let the viewers decide how they feel. The media was given the photo and they should show the whole thing. If a copper was seen in a photo doing something wrong you can bet the media would not edit it. FUCK YOU MEDIA!!!

I work at a small new media publication that serves Chicagoland.

Newspapers are like Amy Winehouse a week ago. They may be alive right now, but there's no doubt how their story turns out.

They will always exist in one form or another- owning one will be a hubris thing for local big shots (kinda like owning a sports team)- but their days of being of 'premier relevance' are over.

Going forward, "New Media" will consist of the following three entities.

1) Credible, independent commentary (just like this blog)

2) Established "masterbrands" serving video content (ie- the networks)

3) Amateur content and commentary.

In the year 2011 and beyond, there is just no room left for grinding trees into dried, bleached pulp, dousing them with ink and hoping people care enough to pay for it.

The newspaper's glory days as the 'immutable ideological bastion of liberal thought and idea' died as soon as US internet saturation broke 50% and opened up the free exchange of information to everyone, rather than being filtered by a closed-circuit cabal of old media clerics.

Don't confuse yourselves, my uniformed friends. Just because they aren't 'gone' yet doesn't mean they aren't wholly and entirely dead.

Do not fret when you see some BS story published by old media. Their 'reach' figures are padded and dishonest, meant to keep their kooky old shareholders believing... They're a tree falling in the woods.

I was at the express DMV at the Thompson Center last month, I had to wait to talk to a supervisor about my license renewal (I'm a reservist and did a tour, and because my license has been expired longer than a year they were trying to tell me I have to take a friggin road test like I'm some 16 year old kid, but I digress...) and right next to me sits this fat, 300lb monstrosity of a human being, pregnant, eating, can't make this up, flaming hot cheetos. I threw up in my mouth a little bit.

So the super comes out and tells me he has to make a phone call to check on that, and then he kinda walks away and Kikishawreeka asks me "dat be da manager?" I look at her, and after about 5 seconds, hesitantly, disgustingly say "yes." She then tries to get his attention via ebonics, and he told her she had to wait. Haha, it was great, a little victory in an otherwise shit city with shitheads roaming the streets.

All I could think, was SHE WAS THE PROBLEM. IT'S YOU FUCKING THIS CITY UP. You are waiting to pop out a welfare check that I get to pay for, as they train to point guns at da poleece.

I went home and took 5 showers in a row.

Anyway, keep up the good work CPD. You are the real police. Fuck the liberals, fuck the yuppies, fuck the media, and of course fuck the rev-undones.

This kid in the pic, has a damn blunt in one and, and throwing up VLN in the other, at 13 years old. Yep, great kid you got there, must be proud. Here's hoping this kid stays in Juvi till he's 18, gets out, commits a felony where nobody gets hurt, and spends the next 20 with IDOC.

Get used to them bars kiddo, you'll be seeing them the rest of your pathetic, ghetto, poor excuse of a human life.

Just helping enabling the problem. I don't know how naive people can be - pictures of him throwing up gang signs, running from the cops, out at 11:00 PM - and the neighborhood people blame the police. It's just disgusting. And the media reports the story as he is a victim? Well, thank you for enabling this scum even more!

[...]

According to Patrick Camden, spokesman for the Fraternal Order of Police, the incident began with a narcotics officer stopping at the intersection for what he thought was the aftermath of a traffic crash near an awkwardly double-parked car on the street.

As the plainclothes officer sat inside his unmarked police car, the motorist from the other car approached the cop asking, "You got a problem?" Camden said.

The officer responded that he was a cop and didn't have a problem, Camden said. Soon, according to Camden, the man reached inside the police car, as if grabbing for something. The officer, fearing that the man was looking for a weapon, pulled his handgun and opened fire, striking the man, Camden said.

Thank you SCC. When the story was on the news tonight, I listed to the POS father say that his son was a good boy that was never around guns. The media allowing the POS father's statement to be aired in order to sway America is disgusting. I prompty took my three young children to the SCC site and showed the picture of the boy throwing up "Vice Lord". Yeah, the same VL's that want to kill their Dad and terrorize Chicago.

My little kids just got the biggest life lesson about manipulative liberal media tonight, and because of you SCC they are one step closer to being conservative, pro union, anti WIC, anti LINK, ANTI Section 8, anti Obama, and anti-combine.

If he's a "straight A and B" student, then why is he in the sixth grade at the age of 13? That would make him around twenty years old if he graduates high school without flunking again, right?

Also, why does Pravda, I mean the Scum Times and Fibune, not just come clean about the cropped gang picture? Do they really believe that they can call themselves ethical reporters if they have to crop and edit pictures to get their version of a story out?

Instead of giving air time to the "parents" of this young thug, do they want to report on the criminal history and gang affiliation on the father and ask why the kid was armed with a BB gun past curfew? How about why the only photo the "family" has to give anyone shows the kid flashing gang signs?

Oh, excuse me. That's what a real reporter would do if they weren't agents for a propaganda machine and seeking instead to do a real job of reporting the truth. That's WAY too much to ask of Chicago "journalists."

I guess people will just have to come to this blog if they want the truth in current events. Pathetic.

This POS received mostly A's with a few B's because his baby sitter/teacher wanted him out of his/her classroom.

Why?

Because the baby sitter/teacher was aware that the POS liked to play with firearms and feared that he would bring the weapon to the building that he would occasionly frequented in the winter and possibly shoot the baby sitter/teacher.

P.S. Will the baby sitter/teacher be required to visit the POS's home during the school year? What time should he visit? Will the windows of the baby sitter/teachers vehicle windows be shot out while he is counselling the POS and his breeders?

I'm going to be a bit controversial when I say that many people (not all)can see thru all of the words and make up their own minds about this stuff. Yes, we all question the police but that is mostly b/c we are a bit fearful of getting a ticket from you.
Plus, most citizens assume you are part of the city's administration and working on their behalf. We wonder why people act like these kids and wish they would not eat so many Flamming Hot Cheetos and study more instead of acting like asshxxxs on the bus.

Had a murder trial a couple months ago where the victim's family brought in several "life photos" of the vic....the ASAs ended up using one of his CB photos instead. Pretty funny.

As for this case, another future 16year old 8th grader from the CPS...if he lives that long. Considering that...why are all the teachers patting themselves on the back for this kid's development? Sounds like failure to me.

Long Post, sorry SCC.


I emailed the reporter this....
"Your first picture on the tribune website, WAS CROPPED, to eliminate the fact this teen was flashing GANG SIGNS. The full picture is available all over the internet. Now your picture of this teen in the hospital is bordering on scandalous. How dare your newspaper use these subtle techniques to slant the news. The fact is he had a realistic looking gun. Was already in the grip of a street gang, these are the things your story should mention, and that this is a BIG problem with youth in certain areas of the city. These are the facts. I feel sorry for the officer and the rest of the CPD
that the trouble that your slanted biased coverage will cause. Yellow Journalism is alive and well in Chicago"

He replied with this
"A couple of things...
Our "first" picture -- I take it you mean the first photo we posted -- was uncropped. If you're a regular reader on our site, you'll know that most of the pictures we post are cropped, so our photo folks cropped it as they always do.
I'm not aware whether the picture is "all over the internet" but we posted it with the family's permission.
I don't know if the gun in question was realistic looking, I haven't seen it, though from past experience, many BB or pellet guns do look like their real counterparts. I don't know if he was "already in the grips" of gang life, either.
Yellow journalism refers to the sensationalism of the news. What you're accusing us of is the exact opposite: still incorrect, but not yellow journalism by its definition. Your statement is wrong because it flatly states that we as a newspaper, or I, as a journalist, have a pre-determined point of view.
I'm a fact gatherer. Sometimes we get the facts, sometimes we don't. Whatever we get, we pass it on to our readers.
I like to interact with readers. I like it even better when they're correctly informed.
I hope this clears a few things up.
W."


So then I emailed him the full picture. No response, Hmmmm.

Yeah... His homies/executioners are caged as well they should have been.

Wonder what happened to the funky-assed leaders who not only ordered the hit but kept moving him around because if memory serves right, The Police were beating the bushes HARD looking for his little narrow ass.

They should have had the Yummy Sandifer Memorial Tour... Just rolled him from school to school to show the reward of thug life...

In response to 1:24 am today ("Kikishawreeka," classic)

When I moved to Chicago from out of state 5 years ago, I went to the DMV to get an IL license. I was 32 at the time, married, no kids, working as an attorney, 29 year old wife a CPA, so both paying LOTS of taxes.

During my wait, I was sitting next to a young black lady with a cute little baby on her lap, so asked her, "How old is your daughter?"

Her reply - "Oh this ain't my daughter, she my grandbaby. I need to become her official guardian bc my daughter is 15, I still get her social security, and need to get it for the baby too."

I asked her how old she was - same age as me, 32. Appalling, sick, disgusting - talk about your generational welfare. It's like the state might as well just take the money directly from my pocket, and put it into that bitch's (though if it did that, it couldn't profit as a middleman). I told my wife that day that we're never buying property in Chicago, that we're keping our cars licensed at our family's homes in MI, and once our future (since born) children are old enough for school, we are peacing out to the burbs up north NOT in Crook County.

On an unrelated note, she & I both are grateful for you men & women in blue, especially for being willing to deal with POSs like these every day. And most attorneys here, save for the fucking litigators, feel the same was as we do.

I'm not from here, or a cop, but I recently visited for the first time. I've been following the city's politics very closely ever since.

The media bias in Chicago is unbelievable and cops are left fighting a battle that cannot be won because they have no support. I do not envy any of you police officers. Cops are getting killed solely because they're cops. It's absurd that this is happening in a world-class city and it's even more absurd that the mainstream press is keeping the public in the dark and creating a convenient environment for the victim card to be played. The cops are the only people left in town with a sense of accountability, of right and wrong, and they're made to be brutal tyrants by a useless class of people that gives birth to a cheques and bemoans its loss with ALL KINDS of passion and fervor that simply isn't there when it comes to raising said cheque. It's appalling.

None of this affects me directly, but I'm troubled by it. People who aren't from Chicago are paying attention too.

the media use of the term "trigger happy" is tantamount to yelling "fire" in a theater

this is why we have a Fraternal Order, we need a spokesman to step up and demand an apology

the new sup. needs to demand TV coverage to address and condemn this "tag" by irresponsible journalists, their paper, and their approving editors

they must be ordered to post a retraction, and show proof of disciplinary action against the responsible party / parties

the trubune did publish today that out of the most recent 41 shootings
by the CPD, all but ONE was armed.

police are not paid targets for criminals

they should NOT be targets of an irresponsible media

the mayor needs to represent in this matter as well

so should the CCSA, in regard to the illegal inflaming of civil unrest and mistrust in this large metropolitan area (Chicago), with uncivilized criminals already running havoc without consequence.

where are the spokespersons?

this is worth marching for...not money

I used to work for a news outlet many years ago. It's true that they want the best selling story. They purposely cut the facts to do whatever has the most shock value. They always crop photos and edit stories to they way they want. There really needs to be a news outlet that reports the truth. There is more shock value in that, than the unreality that the media portrays nowadays.

A side-note on this case: as always, the media likes to refer to a BB gun as something other than a real gun, often referring to it as a "toy gun," or something harmless. When a P.O. in 018 shot a teen punk with a BB gun a few years ago, the Sun-Times referred to it as a "toy gun," and encouraged the city to be outraged. The Tribune, at least, quoted a spokesperson from the Daisy BB Gun Company who related that a BB gun is indeed a "real" gun, whose projectile can cause great bodily, or, yes, even DEATH. All teen thugs carrying BB guns on the street deserve the use of force they receive from the police.

A great poet once said "I aint no killer but don't push me". It was 2 pack shake-er. In police terms this means hello sir I'm a very nice person who does my job and very well I may add. I will give you a helping hand if need be. I will answer my calls and not think about hurting a soul. But if you pull out a weapon (you dead mother*#;/#*). Goodnight.

I also hate what the Sun-Times and other media outlets do with photos as in the Officer Michael Bailey case this morning.

They post the offenders photo, same size right next to Officer Bailey's. Like he has some right to be in the same anything with Michael Bailey.

It looks and is wrong to do that.

Well the media can do whatever bullshit they want as they go broke. I get my unaduterated, non spun news right here, as it seems many more are doing.
So once again, WTF are they doing, it sure the heel isn't news reporting, more like shovelling shit as usual.

Nice job and Please, keep up the great work!

Remember when Time darkened the face of OJ? They were called out on that.

What is the difference here?

Here's the deal.

We, as coppers, see it all--the good, the bad, the ugly. We don't have the option of having filters on our eyes, hearts, or souls. We see reality. I think that is why we get so pissed off when things are distorted by the media. Tell the damn truth. It's pretty arrogant of them to think they have the moral authority to spin stories. If that was the pic given, print the damn thing.

I think the only true journalism left, that captures the true spirit of the press are college newspapers.

Why doesn't the media do a comparison story? Yummy was executed by his own gang at the ripe old age of 11.

Remind the public of THAT, you media pricks.

Does making these criminals look good sell more newspapers or increase tv news viewership?

7/27/2011 04:45:00 AM


Of COURSE it does. Pissing the public off makes them come back and look for more bullshit to piss them off.

Take a look at every comment in every article at both media rags.

98% of every post is someone pissing and moaning, trying to get their "word" out and feel like someone actually gives a shit about their pathetic opinions.

Get with it dude, pissing people off is the only thing the media has left to keep people interested.

Yes, we all question the police but that is mostly b/c we are a bit fearful of getting a ticket from you.
Plus, most citizens assume you are part of the city's administration and working on their behalf.
**********************

I don't know where YOU'VE been hiding bud, but the majority of police DON'T write tickets. That's the one lone traffic car on a watch that bothers to write tickets.

The only other people that write them are the LAZ slobs.

And as for being a tool of the "administration" I've never met a copper yet that gives two fucks about those hack liar white collar tax thieves downtown.

Let's all remember the law, in order to be a firearm it has to shoot at 700 ft/ sec or faster. That is the technicality the media is using to classify this as a toy gun. It can still do great bodily harm even though it is not a true firearm. You can find the post by p.o. barber googling p.o. letter to sun times and click on the one about thugs.

The fact that this little Thug used a bb gun to point at the police means nothing. The bb gun is a "replica" of a real gun. How is the cop supposed to know if it is real or not. I would rather be wrong than dead. You just don't have that option of time when chasing these mongrels down dark alleys. It is all about the $$$. The city pays all these bottom feeders families off just to get rid of them. Pathetic.

If you want to punish the press, don't buy the papers. Cancel your subscription and encourage your family, friends and neighbors to do the same.

Always write in to them to tell them that you think they are slanting stories. They'll write back with an excuse, but you should still let them know.
