McCarthy Reviews 100 Days
Chicago Police Supt. Garry McCarthy, who will mark his 100th day in the job Tuesday, firmly believes the city is safer since he took office.
As the native New Yorker sat with his back to the Chicago skyline at his desk in police headquarters last week, he ticked off the latest crime statistics to drive his point home.
“Shootings: down 75 through today. That’s 1,516 last year and 1,441 this year. Murder: down 30 through today, from 290 to 260.”
Asked how much he thinks his new strategies have contributed to the decline, he confidently responded: “I’d have to say it’s 90 percent.”
In the meantime, the "goonings" or "wildings" continue unabated:
Officials have charged seven teens today for beating and robbing an 18-year-old man Friday outside of the Cermak-Chinatown CTA station, police said.
The attack happened about 11 p.m. at 138 W. Cermak Rd. outside of the Red Line stop, said Chicago Police News Affairs...
The victim was robbed and beaten and sustained facial injuries and was taken to John H. Stroger Jr., Hospital of Cook County

And how much credit is McSelfish giving to Terry Hillard, who ran the department for three of the last seven months?
Yeah; I thought so.
Hubris -- All I see are broken windows for miles and miles.
If the city is so much safer under this new direction when is super Mac going to take away the ex-mayors and the alderman's special security details?
Until that day he's blowing smoke!!
Actions speak louder than words.
I could tell he was lying, his lips were moving.
Really, does anyone not washing down their Valium with kool-aid believe anything this puke says?
Um......there was no description of the offenders so I'm going to assume that I should be causious of all Asians.
Blame it on the weather. It was a pretty wet summer.
Around the same time this happened, a lady was shoved and had her wallet taken on 001's side of the Chinatown El tracks. Guess by who? 30 male youfs. And yes 30, an odpo on-viewed it.
That hilarious!
I attribute the fall in violent crime (if any) to the supreme court overturning Chicago's gun ban.
SCC, I heard the Red Line robbery video was off da hook...ala "Derrion Albert".
i didnt like the part of where
he says job placement services
is like you bee good and give you a job?
what about the other people with families that never break the law and these clowns get put at the front of line?
and it seems like he followin along with j-fled's plan
( boy that's scary)
i thought you don't break the law and you dont end up in county
would be enough( is for me)
never deal with terrorists hmm?
sounds like a buy out
Did the reporter(s) ask "So, of the 75 shootings that the city is down, only 7.5 of those were during your predecessor's time while the other 67.5 were during your 100 days?" and "of the 30 murders, only 3 less were during your predecessor's time while the other 27 were during your 100 days?". Of course not. I mean, that's fucking amazing because his predecessor was here for roughly 150 days this year and was already in place for over 2 years yet this clown comes here, figures EVERYTHING OUT, and in 100 days is responsible for 90% of what happened. Why was this guy not questioned harder to his "facts? Because here in Shitcago what certain politicians or their appointees say is taken as gospel. Then later on the truth is slowly leaked out (like the gang fights which closed N Ave beach) and yet it's like the lies or "mistruths" never happened....
5 yrs cannot come soon enough for me to get out of this place. I live in the most crooked City, in the most crooked County, in the most crooked State.

Wow. One man did it all. No credit to the officers on the street. Nice. He must be superman! Yeah, that's right, the policies did it--the policies lowered crime--just like the cameras!
McEgo.

First, it's J-FLED (J-FED was BEFORE his act of COWARDICE in 007). Next, how could anyone legit bring up that rat cocksucker?
GOTTA RUN!
In other words.....we're SCREWED!
In May of 2012, we'll see if he's such a genius. Right now in Dists across the city, you have seasoned police officers BEGGING to hire more manpower. The Dists are so depleated that to think they can detail 2nd Watch personnel downtown for a week is INSANE. We needed to start mass hiring months ago but didn't. If you are a smart robbery crew or wanted to hold up a bank, the week of 15-22 May is like Christmas. But hey, what do I know, I've only been doing this over 20 yrs.
In the original article, look at where some of the offender's lived at. They all lived on Chicago's north side, one also lived on the 8100 block of N. Knox in Skokie, IL. Yes, Skokie. These assholes are moving into decent neighborhoods.
Since McPuppet is so wonderful, why is there ANY crime at all?
I guess since he did it all by himself, and in light of the fact that he did it AFTER disbanding TRU and MSF, we can now anticipate that he will be disbanding the ENTIRE CPD!
Way to go, you one man fighting machine! No wonder you were brought in to save us rube cops here in Chicago who don't know anything about crime fighting! Three cheers for McPuppet!
Hip hip hurray!
Hip hip hurray!
Hip hip hurray!

Bite your tongue!
is his arm sore, from patting himself on the back?
What a self righteous ego ass!
This guy could actually make us wish for Weis back. I know that sounds beyond stupid, but remember, the Department was in a complete stranglehold by Masters under the Weis regime. I still believe Weis had good intentions for the Department but he was derailed by terrible advice from outside sources.

That's really not funny...not at all. Idiotbox.
McPuppet is such a stroke.Typical New Yorker...talk loud and angry and people will beleive that you know what you are talking about. This guy is such a Rahm kiss ass. Doesnt he have any ideas of his own? What did he learn all those years on the hard streets of New York? Anything of value? What a waste of a career. That you could make it so high in the NYPD rank and not learn the ins and outs of a police department. It is not brain surgery people. First thing is you have to earn the respect of your rank and file. Something McPuppet has yet to do in 100 days...if this is the best New York has to offer...? Chicago can promote an ass-kissing do-nothing to Super all by ourselves, we dont need to ship one in from Coney Island.
Will he have a manditory power test for those who rise in rank?
Race of victim?
Its all this guys leadership that gets the credit. Without him where would we be?
The reality is that the city's black population is dramatically declining. The recent census showed the city had lost nearly 200,000 black residents, but the census did not show that the vast majority left in the last three years.
Roseland, Chatham, South Shore, Garfield Park, and Engelwood are all practically ghost towns. At least a third of the houses on any block are vacant, many times almost all are vacant. Ten years ago nearly all those houses were filled, some with multiple families.
By the 2020 census, blacks will be a distant third in the city's racial breakdown.
rain for July
july 2010 8.84 inches
july 2011 11.15 inches
2.31 inches more and 11.15 is the most since 1871. More rain = less homicides? Argue that it doesnt.
it may not be about the rain, but its about the rain
I could tell he was lying, his lips were moving.

G-MACK is a jerk and a liar. While I am THRILLED that J-FLED is no longer with CPD, this G-MACK clown is not the person for the job. And no, I don't miss Hillard or Cline!
Congrats to McCarthy , we've been complaining for years about the police doing office work .
Putting these officers back on the street , saves money and helps reduce crime. Also less work for us beat guys already in the trenches . How can people criticize. We've all said for years , it's the medical roll abusers and officers assigned to office duty that creates a police shortage. McCarthy now has to change medical roll benefit and get the phony iod's , chronic flu medical abusers down to 10 medical days a year.
This goof is an arrogant NewJersey prick, the East coast is loaded with them. I visit Boston alot and these folks are all the same, like the world owes the East coast something, we are this mans bread and butter, and we and we alone direct his fate, not father pleger and the westside revs.

Slow down cowboy, J-Fled was a complete ass, McGoof is only an asshole he's missing two cheeks and a crack. But have no fear McGoof will get the other parts soon enough.
what a pompous ass
Arrogance equates ignorance,the Supe is full of both.
Noted in the news story that most of these young menses was from the far North side and Suburbs. By the names they all appear to be Black. Of course that wasn't noted by the news folks. Don't we have enough home grown Flash Mob Thugs right here to do this dirty work. The victim got a pretty good beating. Hope he recovers. Always seemed like the Chinatown L stop was fairly safe. Have gone down there on the train to eat many times. Things change I guess.

meow.
McGruff states that the dept. is 2,500 officers short of authorized strength. That is a lot of cops not out doing the job of protecting Chicago. Everyone seems to gloss right over that number. I bet if we checked all the suburban police depts. they are probably all up to strength. Wonder where all that extra cash saved on hiring went to. Hmmmm.
George, you better credit the Men and Women in Blue and not just pat your own back, advice is free buddy
Gmac is great. He was a real cop that worked the street.
Give yourself a big pat on the back Supt. !!!! Nothing like blowing smoke up the ass of the good citizens of Chicago !!!!!
They have finally admitted the department is 2300 officers below budgeted strength because of hiring slowdown. Where is all that money that was allocated for hiring officers? They have also given up the smoke and mirrors game of saying they addeded additional officers and now are talking about redeployment. We are in a world of shit and G20 is comming to town.
Heard today that 100 day Rahm Emanuel joined a group called "Mayors Against Illegal Guns".
That's funny. Today I just happened to join the group "Gun Owners Against Lying, Pandering, Asswipe Politicians Who Should Never Win Another Election".
Everything is always about Rahm!
Megalomaniac.....
He takes all credit for this. Not give credit to the officers that cant get time due and who sacrfice time with their families. Get that event # on that contact card so his comstat meeting means something. Maybe one day he'll thank you. Hell even j-fed thanked you .I dont see why 100 days means so much except how much money he got paid for doing nothing except kissing ass to the revs ,mayor and anyone else pulling his strings.

Then go to work for the Chicago so-called Crime Commission and you can kiss up to him every day.
The rest of us DON'T miss you, Jody.
he sucks!!
McMouth is at it again- what an east coast phony.
I vote for McEgo. What an arrogant pos this guy is.
Wow. You would think he would throw the workers a bone whenever he gets a chance. Instead he wants to beat his chest and tell everyone that he is saving the world all be himself!!!!
McCrappyAccent and Swan Lake both bragging on their first 100 days in office - how can these asswipes look themselves in the mirror? They actually believe that is something to BRAG about? The city is shot to hell.
--No Cop Here
How much crime is being killed by review? What used to be a robbery is now a theft. I was here for Zekman and don't want any part of this type of bogus reporting. Note to District Commanders, killing crime is a crime in itself.
What a beatoff.
anyone do the research re: how many firearms there are in America?.....anywhere from 270 to 300 million.....so what about that Rham, and McGruff?.....
You go Bodega! Show us, how it's done!
Watch "Brick City" (on Netflix streaming)...McCarthy did the same thing in Newark.
Rumor at 35thst , McCarthy is planning to hire back retired officers to fill in at district desk and used for crowd control for that g20 event next may .
Miss me now?
J. weis
What an insult to our command staff that we need a Jersey guy.
but beatings continue and our taxes will double soon and teachers will strike. we are vics all around and good citizen cant even have concealed carry. These Pols and their toddies make me want to puke. This city is crumbling and there is no rspect for anything any more. Lawless illegals and thugs get ahead. Where is th efuture for my kids? I regret ever taking this job after 16 yrs I have had enough. 100days my ass
Many of the K streets in Skokie are Section 8 shit, and have been for the last 5 years or so. The blacks get to fight with the Asians, Arabs and Assyrians for turf in the area. Along with the blacks from Evanston.
The common factor? CTA/RTA access. Public transport does nothing but spread shitheads outside of the rush hour commute.
Its all this guys leadership that gets the credit. Without him where would we be?
8/22/2011 09:19:00 AM
up shit's creek with a paddle?
These assholes are moving into decent neighborhoods.
8/22/2011 07:13:00 AM
thanks to section 8 and the absentee landlords who milk that cash cow.
They have also given up the smoke and mirrors game of saying they addeded additional officers and now are talking about redeployment.

Swan Lake had placards displaying his accomplishments at the podium as he verbally reviewed his first 100 days. One of the benchmarks with a checkmark was "500 officers added for street duty".

As far as the medical abuser I agree with you. But inside people are needed regardless of what you think. Most civilians haven't a clue and there's to much of our info they can get their hands on. No I don't work inside but Housing was a victim of civilians with all our pers info being taken.
I really believe this guy got his letter of agreement so he could come in and shake things up, then Schields or Wysinger can then take over. Why no contract? He was probably promised something better after this. Any takes on the letter of agreement and not a contract

And how about those with cancer, stupidfucker? Ever thought there might be people who NEED that fuckin' time off to deal with major medical issues dipshit?
Didn't think so.
Some of you f#*king softballs posting about cutting the medical to ten days? You never give up something for nothing..They tried this same crap about 10 years ago.They found that the majority of the medical abusers were of an specific nationality.It was too politically hot to touch. Think about this,you want to be such a softball tough guy and cut the medical to 10 days?Ok,what if one of your kids becomes seriously ill with cancer? The City will screw you over in half a heartbeat for just shits & giggles,do you think that they care about our families?Think about how losing our benefits affects us & our families before you shoot off your yapper.
so how many coppers were given 30 pending during this first 100 days more then the total in past 3 yrs thats nice does the boss even look into your file or just sign off with agreeing w the bullshit IPRA investigation. how do you justify termination w little or no discipline actions over 17 yrs. it makes no sense we have convicted felons on the payroll others facing serious charges on payroll those who are so juiced nothing happens supervisors who are still getting a check even though involved in serious accusations. those who are not connected are just discarded by the roadside careers and families destroyed after having given years of loyal service thanks
McCarthy will do whatever Rahmbo wants..He has that federal civil rights investigation hanging over his head from the Newark Police Department Coincidence? I think not. When McCarthy stops drinking the Kool-Aid and tries to be independent and be a Man,Rahmbo will have the Feds drop the hammer on McCarthy.
