Profound Thoughts

From a number of comments over the past day or so. First up is a comment on the decision to destroy without testing any and all of the weapons turned in.
  • Where's the media on this?

    What if we threw out 5,000 rape kits w/o testing them? The liberals would go into a tizzy ....

Where indeed. The collective outcry would be enough to deafen the most tone-deaf politico. Nice catch.

Next is about the "Who raised you" quote by 9.5:

  • Rahm, who raised you? How were you raised?

    You're in charge, but you don't do anything to fix the problem.
    You don't hire police, you reward gang bangers.
    You don't hire police, you enrich your buddies by buying cameras.
    You don't reward and support the few police you have, you try to undermine them and make their lives more difficult at every turn.
    Buy a mirror Rahm, step up on a stool and gaze into it.
    You'll get a terrific view of the problem.
It's almost like a bunch of philosophers are reading the blog.

And yet another profound thought.

Where is FOP? It's been 5 days and no mention of the 28.1 letter that surfaced on SCC by our FOP "leaders."

Still think it's a matter of interpretation, Mikey? Seems as though the city interpreted your actions to be just that. Inept and immature.

Just listen to Rahm 2 minutes into it.

Please watch the first 5 minutes of 9 minutes if you have not seen this. Part 10 of a twelve part series on the Obama Deception. This is why we do not have to hire police.
I'm sure the uniforms will be brown.

Yep we watched him on the news yesterday saying that Chicagoans should be happy to support a property-tax increase for schools. Left unsaid is that he will divert that Board of Education money into his own personal kitty as Daley did with the TIF money.

Whoever is posting no activity.Jul 5. They resolved that a long time ago with meter maids and cameras They do not need us for revenue. If you want to hurt them, paper on every job and at least 1 arrest a day that holds you down and builds no revenue for city. Public drinker, 1 rock etc. If you want to hurt the city do your job exactly to general orders you will be down all day.

Alex Jones? A friend linked me to his articles on his web page. After a bit of research to his claims-- I was able to disprove must of A. Jones claims.

A. Jones is just another pimp, pushing his propaganda to make money.

Think of him as another Jesse Jackson; the more followers, the more money he makes.

Do the research on his claims, he's always misquoting all the sources, i.e. Executive Orders

Don't get me wrong, If I could sell books, movies and internet marketing add space, I would!

I worked the weapon turn in and there were a large number of guns turned in by several gun shops from the suburbs. Shore Gallery from Lincolnwood, Illinois turned over about 50 guns and collected over $5000.00 in vouchers. My understanding was that they were paying people $25.00 at their shop and wait for the annual weapon turn in to make a 75% profit from the City of Chicago. This has been going on for years now. I wonder if this is Kosher?? Maybe City Inspector General shuold look into this.

Yep don't worry about a F-N thing nothing is going to be alright.

If it's only a matter of interpretation.

I'd like to call your attention to the recent interpretation by the US Supreme Court when it came to Obama care.

The Obama care bill couldn't force people to buy mandatory health insurance under the commerce laws charging a penalty if people chose not to. SO guess what? The penalty fee is not a fee and it's not a fine. IT'S A TAX and congress does have the right to tax you!!

It's all a word game with these people.

Now suppose the powers-that-be tell Ford for example that you must sell cars for no more than $5,000 or else pay a fine. Well the commerce law doesn't allow that but the powers that be can now demand a tax as a penalty instead. Supreme court set the new standard that allows it.

You guys and gals are creative. How many other instances can the government apply this logic to do you think?

Yeah, it's all a matter of interpretation.

Factitious union contracts. Are the pensions funded according to the last contract? What's the contract mean? It's a question of values Rahm, does the contract have any value? Who raised these people?

How ironic eh?

When it comes to the illegal immigrant situation we hear time and time again about not breaking up the families. Oh the families and the poor kids.

On the other hand when it comes to the coppers families, needing to spend time with their kids every now and then you can all go f--k off. right?

Then you are going to stand-up at a pulpit and preach about moral family values? Give me a break! Who raised these kids? It wasn't me. I was at work and the boss said no.

Oh no. Don't look at that. Look at this gun over here that was sitting in gradma's closet that she was afraid to use after pa died and was therefore just waiting to be stolen and put on the street.

Ha...that's where all these guns came from, grandma's closet. That's what they said on the news. Why would they lie? They wouldn't lie would they?

/sarcasm

You bring up a good point.

5,000 guns and up to maybe $500,000 dollars in $100 dollar gift cards.

How much of that money was exported out of state by this program? We have all this emphasis on residency requirements for city workers to keep our tax dollars local helping our own people. But when it comes to a program like this all that keeping the taxpayers money local to reinvest goes right out the window.

Anyone that was looking to upgrade their firearms went right out of the Sanctuary city and maybe even the state to find a gun shop or pay for time on a range. How much of that half-million was exported out of our local economy?

Regarding Alex Jones, I did not research him, however quotes are quotes. You must admit these videos of Rahm and Obama are too, too frightening. Even if Jones is not great, you just can't argue when these words come out of Rahm and Obama's mouth This tells the whole story on what's going on with the planned destruction of America's Police Departments. It's the perfect explanation to hire "Cease Fire"!!!!

The city used to dump them in the lake from a barge. Theres a big pile of disposed weapons - mostly handguns - out near the downtown crib - an easy dive.

Well, I should go retrieve some of those old corroded firearms and turn them in at the next gun collection day and gets my gif cards......

Maybe you should stop the BS-"My understanding". You don't know what they were paying anyone for anything,do you?

Why did you single out Shore and not name the "other several gun shops from the suburbs"?

It's ok for some gang-banging POS to receive money, but not a tax-paying businessman?

It appears you have a hard-on for Shore.

I'm not a Shore employee, just a non-police taxpayer who is tired of the gun stores being beat on by people that think that only the police should have guns.

Question-Does the "City Inspector General" have any authority outside Chicago?

An open letter to Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy:
I am a citizen of the City of Chicago. Please try to refrain from any further stupid comments. In other words, please shut up. You are quickly making the transition from a curiosity from back east to a buffoon of epic proportions. Your pseudo-sociologist ramblings are starting to make the numerous malapropisms of Richard J. and Richard M. Daley sound like Shakespeare.
Crime is out of control in the City of Chicago. Instead of relying on your best resources, the men and women of the Chicago Police Department who put their lives on the line on a daily basis you choose to study your CompStat reports. You are not doing enough to value the average "beat cop" who possesses a complex mix of professional skills, judgment and experience that you are obviously sorely lacking. You spent what, four years on the street as a "beat cop" before moving up the chain of command. That probably explains your penchant for pandering to lowest common demoninator here in Chicago. I know it's not practical to speak to all 9,000 members of the Chicago Police Department on a daily basis. I bet you're thinking that the author of this missive just made a typo. Stop misrepresenting the actual manpower of the CPD to the citizens of the City of Chicago. We deserve, no strike that, demand the truth. We demand more police officers.

Your speech at St. Sabina's Church on June 5, 2011 was vile. Your recent remarks on radio station WGCI only reinforce the general consensus that you are not a leader, but rather an opportunist and a hypocrite.

Horrible things are happening to good people on a daily basis in the City of Chicago and the best you can do is offer is some half-assed mea culpa invoking Pilgirims.

Please do the honorable thing and resign immediately. You owe that much to your sworn personnel and everyone who lives in and those who visit Chicago.

RetFedLeo with a thought,
SSC is a great info site. The "news reports" are great!

Most of the comments SUCK!
Just because you can sign in “anonymous” doesn’t mean you can talk out of your ass, say stupid stuff or not even spell correctly.
All that shit should stay in a cop bar. Why? BECAUSE EVERYBODY READS SCC! If a few of you sound like an utterly foolish or senseless person it discredits the rest of the force. How do you expect the other readers to respect what you say? Like …um the PRESS, union, “white shirts”, politicians (yes they would use what you say, even if for their own gain) and your public,if you sound like a crybaby, bully, idiot and spell like a 3rd grader…
That’s how the readers (including your fellow officers) will think of most of you!

Next you have to figure out why the press is not on your side…
Who burned who???
Let’s face it; you have the scoop on everybody and everything.
So is EVERY reporter in someone’s pocket? None of you heard of Royko? Now is the time to start developing a new Royko for you….. Try the National Enquirer! SCC could get paid for the Leeds, your story gets told, Chicago readers will love it, the rest of the US won’t believe it, and the Chicago Press will have to follow up because the door has already been opened!

Clean up your act and get your PR in order, then you may be able to get your dept to do the right thing.
Unitl then its the pot calling the kettle black...
