Other Media Notices BS

  • There used to be wisdom among police officers that said something like this: Don't take credit for things when they are good unless you are ready to take the blame when things go bad. In the "Hooray for Hollywood" mode that Chicago has been since Rahm Emanuel's Grant Park inauguration in May 2011, however, even an act of God can be spun, at least temporarily, as the work of the mayor (and his "team"). So, as temperatures dropped in Chicago on January 18 and January 19, 2012, Rahm Emanuel announced, via the Office of the Mayor, in a press release, as follows:

We're not going to reprint the bullshit press release. Needless to say though, certain Department personnel had their tongues so far up Rahm's backside, it was hard to tell where one ended and the other began. The story continues:

  • This one ranks in the "You've got to be kidding" department. Every cop and every citizen knows that Chicago experiences fewer crimes when the weather gets bitter cold for two reasons. One, there are fewer people on the streets. Two, many of the crimes, gun and otherwise, are taking place indoors and aren't discovered until later.

    Rahm Emanuel has made a bigger and bigger joke of the relentless publicity stunts he has been touting since he took over as mayor in May. The place where the most ludicrous of these has been at Chicago Public Schools, where "The Outsiders", a team led by former Rochester Supt. Jean-Claude Brizard and The Wilmette Wonder Tim Cawley, have re- re- re-invented every wheel. But at the Chicago Police Department, under former Newark, New Jersey, top cop Garry McCarthy, the touting and stunting is almost as big. We don't know whether Garry warned Rahm that taking credit for less street crime in bitter cold weather was a bad idea, but we can't wait for next summer. Will Chicago's corporate media ask Rahm, as the hot weather moves through July and August, about how many "no gun violence days" he's responsible for then?

Unsaid in all this is that there were plenty of gun crimes during the time frame quoted. We responded to at least two calls ourselves that day - "Man with a Gun" and "Shots Fired." In both cases, no crime was observed, no scene was located, no offender or victim came forward. Does that mean it didn't happen? Maybe. But equally as likely is that the offender fled and no report was generated - 19Paul.

Taking credit means taking the blame at some point, and we're pretty sure everyone reading here knows that isn't going to happen.

Well you already know what else. We don't have much space left to put the bodies. Maybe a mass grave in Grant Park or one of the other city parks is in order? How about the place were they're building that jogging path with the bird baths and stuff up on the north side IDK?

The media is in Rahm's pocket just the same as they were in Daley's. They know these press releases from city hall and 35th street are bull shit, but they eat it up all the same. So many lowly scumbags who call themselves reporters or journalists just repeating what the mayor and his people feed them. There is no fact checking. No double checking. No investigating to verify everything that the mayor said is true. It is sad to see what a bunch of lap dogs Chicago's media have become.

He, and his corrupt minions, feel we are just stupid worthless sheep only to be led around. Most of us are preoccupied with taking care of our families in these hard times. I do believe that the G8 fiasco is going to be a wake up call for Chicago for exactly who we are dealing with in City Hall. The chaos that will happen in this city won't be brushed aside by jokes or lies. Someone will have to be held accountable for the mess. Maybe then will the honeymoon be over for the Racoon.

Emanuel has such a low regard for the people of Chicago, that he feels he can say anything.

This city is just a place for him to flesh out his resume on his march back to DC. It doesn't make any difference what he wrecks because the people won't figure it out until he is gone. The state sponsored, corporatist media supports him to gain access to what he has....$$$.

This is all indicative of what is probably a psychopathic personality disorder. He is planning on a primary fight with NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo in 2016. If the timing seems absolutely disastrous, he'll run against Kirk for the Senate instead.

Ironically, the best thing that could happen to him politically this year is a Romney win. If somehow, the Repubs nominate this stooge, and he wins, he is sure to fail. Better for Rahm to run against a failed Romney then defend a failed Obama.

Meanwhile, Chicago takes it in the ass.

This is one fine example of why the citizens do not trust the media and readership in print media is down. But interest in broadcast media is also down. When I say media, I mean as in a source of news. They can't even as the most basic of critical questions. All they do is parrot back what a mayor, a corporate giant, a presidential candidates says.

Sounds like Kenny "Pods" has another Gold Coast murder to explain away.

First I had to give away my cell phone and laptop. Then I had to start dressing like a homeless person to avoid being robbed. After all, like Kenny told me "you put out milk, you're gonna get cats". All that got me was locked up by some Quality of Life guys.

Next I had to stop being any where near Michigan ave. after it was taken over by gun toting flash mobs. Now I can't even go to Walgreens for my medication without dodging bullets.

I called the police station and got some guy named Azchew. He told me I could hire him as my bodyguard. When I told him I couldn't afford that he tried selling me windshield washer fluid. I told him I wanted to speak to the commander. He told me to stop making trouble for "Pods", that its a dangerous world and it would be unfortunate if I had a tragic accident. Then he handed me a 2010 Garden Walk t-shirt and made me give him 20 bucks.

On the walk home about 20 kids, with brand new winter coats, jumped me, stole the t-shirt and filmed it with an iphone that I swear had a hello kitty cover on it. Last I saw them they were heading toward the red line shouting something about "cracker been jacked"

To "Retired" for several years, "Unfounded" would be wrong here. obviously some citizen heard the shots fired so they called it in. the officers provided some "other police service" and the 19 for some event that other numbers don't cover.

how would you know it's unfounded? offender fled? that means you found evidence of shots fired so code would be 19E. can't find anyone? 19B. you looked around, looked for victims, witnesses, offenders, crime scene? then 19P is right. you would look pretty stupid if a body showed up later at the hospital and you gave it an unfounded.

Thank you for your years of service and i hope you enjoy retirement. it's no disrespect but i wonder if you ever worked in a busy district, where a shots fired call ended up 19P and then the victim's friends later dropped the victim off at the hospital and you have to reopen the event.

The dead man found in Evanston, identified as 33-year-old Dante Simmons of the 1600 block of Jonquil Terrace in Rogers Park, also is believed to have shot and killed a young man in the area between Juneway Terrace and Calvery Cemetery after the Walgreens incident.

Eddington says Chicago police believe Simmons was a former employee at the Walgreens store.

Teens arrested after stolen guns recovered

January 19, 2012|By Jeremy Gorner | Tribune reporter

"Four teens were arrested following a weekend burglary at a suburban gun shop in which about 200 firearms were stolen, Chicago police said today.

"Police said the suspects wanted to resell the handguns in Chicago’s Englewood neighborhood as well as the suburbs.

"Police said the weapons were stolen during a burglary early Sunday at the Maxon Shooters Supplies and Indoor Range in Des Plaines...."

OT: Rahm's Union Busting The Libraries.

How nice he's found a way to bypass the unions. Who's next?

There's a nice piece in the UK's Guardian today on the Rahm dictatorship and his step by step plans.

Outsourcing the city, privatizing, to indemnify the city and screw the taxpayers is one.

Check it out...

Outlawing dissent: Rahm Emanuel's new regime

On the pretext of policing upcoming G8 and Nato summits, Chicago's mayor has awarded himself draconian new powers

----------

Brings up a valid point about the Grant Park protests ordeal too.

Makes you wonder that if the Occupy protestors were instead promoting Obama instead of expressing political dissent if they would have ever been treated in the same manner.

I think we all know the answer.

That is to say no one was even sited for the Obama celebration in Grant Park after the parks curfew with big screen displays and loud booming amplifiers late into the night.

So much for having respect for the laws and "we're doing this to protect the citizens" bullshit.

The Occupiers -- well they get prosecuted to the full extent of the law in order to stifle political dissent.

This is America? What do we stand for?

Don't ever think of expressing dissatisfaction with your government?

You may hate the Occupiers and hate the protestors because of your jobs, nevertheless just look at what we are creating here.

The banks will commit frauds, steal our homes and savings and retirement pensions.

The banks will create conditions causing mass job loss and wage deflation.

The banks will rape the next generation with student loan debts making our kids indentured servants of the politicians and corporations.

But don't say a word. Sit down and shut up and take it as the politicians do nothing and local PD's are used as a force of political repression for personal gains.

Sit down and shut up? No, I don't think so no matter what new fines and permit barriers and ordinances are created. This latest act of repression I don't think is going to stand.

The taxpayers fund the FBI, CIA, DOJ and the politicians -- and yet they all just sit on their hands as the transfer of wealth and the crimes continue.

CPD you are between a rock and a hard place my friends. We all are. Think about it. Protect political fascism or the people, the time may be near where a decision has to be made don't you think?

Is it about law and order or is it about creating a fascist dictatorship?

Why don't the laws to protect the fine citizens of the sanctuary city during the summits have a sunset date?

Maybe the establishment is using the crisis to control people speaking out into the Obama re-election campaigns eh? AND THESE LAWS ARE PERMANATE AS WRITTEN. You don't like your new 2012 union contracts? Too bad, no-one can go to bat for you the way things are going in this police state that is being created. We can no longet go to bat for anything soon.

To "Retired" for several years, "Unfounded" would be wrong here. obviously some citizen heard the shots fired so they called it in. the officers provided some "other police service" and the 19 for some event that other numbers don't cover.

how would you know it's unfounded? offender fled? that means you found evidence of shots fired so code would be 19E. can't find anyone? 19B. you looked around, looked for victims, witnesses, offenders, crime scene? then 19P is right. you would look pretty stupid if a body showed up later at the hospital and you gave it an unfounded.

Thank you for your years of service and i hope you enjoy retirement. it's no disrespect but i wonder if you ever worked in a busy district, where a shots fired call ended up 19P and then the victim's friends later dropped the victim off at the hospital and you have to reopen the event.

If you would put that much energy into police work, as you put into your responce to the "retired officer" and with your self proclaim knowledge of Police Work on how to code out a call, "Why the Fuck aren't a supervisor?"

Rham was elected by 54% .What is not mentioned is that was 54%
Of the 42% who bothered to vote. Breaking that down of 100 people who could vote 42 did. This means about 80 voters did not vote for him. I think In the thrill of winning he has to look in the rear view mirror. His ass is out In the cold if the rest of us vote.

1/21/2012 11:25:00 AM

That is wishful thinking. The percentage of city employees that voted was very low. We could be a powerful voting block but Rahm knew who would vote and catered to them. The dependent democracts put him in office and will keep him office. What wards had the highest turnout on election day?

Everyone is focusing on the NATO/G8 summits however I'm asking how long after the summits will the city remain in: "shelter in place status"?

Hizzhonnor and his General are going to deputize the State police, National Guard, FBI, CIA, DOJ and anyone else they see fit.. like maybe Blackwater Security or some drug cartel chiefs all into the 2012 elections?

Shelter in place from April until at least Nov.?

Does the city even care about crime and homicides...or is it all about controlling political dissent? Oh hey, someone may speak out about Rahm or Obama, let's make some new laws and ordinances to shut them up and lock them up. How dare they insult the powers.

The NDAA did away with the Posse Comitatus Act

We need to report crime, not kill it. Take the damn time to do a report. You think you're punishing the city by not doing anything but you're helping them more than you could imagine. No report equals no crime. Shots fired with casings is a violent crime. If there is a reporting party they are the victim of an aggravated assault. No victim, it's a reckless discharge. State is the victim, unk offender. Got a car shot up? Same thing make it a violent crime- duel IUCRs reckless discharge and cdtp. We have shortage of personnel of every rank. The watch commander is dumped with stuff to do, no desk sergeants, long lines at the wc's door means overtime for everyone. Hitting them in the bank account is the only way to change them. Make them PAY! Crime is up because of the ghetto rats, so let's report it as it really is.

Remember this: FBI routinely publishes stats gathered from inmates who have attacked and or killed POs. Most learn how to shoot on the street. Not in the military or legal ranges. THe shooters "practice" with their weapons more than most LEOs.

The ghetto has become numb to the sound of random gunfire. So it's often not even reported. Or the response time gets longer and longer. Therefore the air is clear of gunpowder and offenders have melted back into their natural surroundings. To them it's "white noise".

As the modern thug gets more and more aggressive and lethal don't take these "bullshit calls" lightly. They may just be your assailant in training.

Never lose sight of the fact that the killer has no regard for you, your family or authority and before you arrive on the scene he already knows what he's going to do.

BE READY!

http://tinyurl.com/8xg6oak

A vast army of heavily armed criminals has embedded itself in every major city in the United States.  In fact, nearly every community in America is now affected by these thugs.  Drugs, theft and brutal violence are all part of the every day lifestyle of the members of this army.  They aggressively recruit our young people and floods of illegal immigrants are joining their ranks.  Once civil unrest erupts in America, they will go on a crime spree that will be absolutely unprecedented and they will burn large areas of some U.S. cities to the ground.

Not that I voted for Rahm, but why does everyone always assume that the rest of the percentage who didn't vote would not vote for Rahm. What if those people made it to the polls and voted for him them his winning percentage would have been higher. Just saying. Don't assume the non voters were against Rahm

It is with a heavy heart that I announce that one of the best bosses on this department died suddenly today. former capt of 011 and current commander of 008 John Kupczyk died of what is being speculated as a heart attack. He was the best boss I have ever worked for and an even better person to talk to and B.S. with. He always knew what this job was all about...taking care of the troops FIRST. Something the bosses on this job could learn. He will be dearly missed and it is a truly sad sad day for the Chicago Police Department. In my opinion there is no boss who could take his place and do as good of a job as he did. I just pray it was not the stresses of this job, comstat and all the other stresses and pressure from downtown that got to him. My condolences to his family and friends. You will be missed my friend.

Heard from a friend in Finance that several of the compstat Lt's got an all expense paid trip to NY to learn the compstat process. Is this a joke? We don't have money to hire more officers. We are merging districts together to save revenue. The dept can't fund equipment for g8 and the xo fiasco is supposed to save money we don't have.

Yeah it's true, because John Kupczk had a Massive
Heart Attack and died at a Compstat Meeting a little
while ago in New York.
RIP BOSS, you were one of the last good ones.
Fuck you Mcgruff. All the damn pressure you put on these
bosses with your Compstat BS is making them drop like

He is old scholl has thousands of hours of chemical and arson training and numerous homicide arrests rumor has it.

If he wants to work out he has the right he earned it with his resume! I heard he was an old 024 warrior that district has produced some of the BEST officers over the years!

I also think his personnel videos he shows us at roll calls are informitive!

Also he says it will only costs 30.00 maybe less if we go in as a package on those tunrikits he is selling...I think its his side job or friends company so he is making a minimal profit thats it! It either that or tampons he says.. for bullet holes and treating the general public.
