Shooting South

  • Chicago police shot a person Monday evening in the Woodlawn neighborhood, and another suspect apparently was struck by a car, authorities said.

    The shooting happened a little before 8 p.m. near 64th Street and South St. Lawrence Avenue, police said, citing preliminary information. At least two suspects were involved in the incident, with one of them shot, the other apparently struck by a car, police said. The incident happened about 7:42 p.m., according to police News Affairs.

No cops listed as injured, so it's a good night so far.

Beginning July 1st, all helmets will be worn by tactical and patrol officers. They will be retrofitted with flashing blue take down lights which must remain activated during the tour to prevent shootings and murders. The helmets will play "Pop Goes the Weasel" and when the music stops, you must Anov or arrest the nearest civilian. Also, at random times during the tour, the Dispatcher will announce, "Switch Assignments!" At which point all officers must take another assignment from other officers, so if you were eating lunch, now you have to take over the DOA. The guy impounding the car with "sounds" takes over the shooting. The 2 bagger arrest takes over the Domestic arrest. The desk people will rotate seats counter clockwise with the guy/gal hiding in the radio room now taking the Station Supervisor spot.
This will reduce street violence, protect the children and meet the index.

This is why I love this blog so much. The humor is priceless! Also someone posted "We will get a raise. For that raise I will stick a broom up my ass and sweep the city's streets as I walk around". Once again too freaking funny.

The latitude of the Indiana-Michigan border is 41 degrees, 41 minutes and 59 seconds. If this latitude was extended west across Lake Michigan into the City of Chicago, what number street (i.e., 63rd St., etc.) would correspond with the same latitude?

The city is going to leave the medical alone and possibly offer 2% annual raises if the FOP agrees to NO 6, 7, 8, or 9 furlough selections for ANYONE. This will keep the city from having to hire more officers when all they need (they think) are more officers in the summer.

FOP would be foolish not to accept but demand 3% IMHO

So you are the fashion police now? Are you mad that you are not on tact? What business is it of yours to worry about someone wearing shorts on a 95 degree day?

Douche bag, what is the job of a plain clothes officer? To blend in with everyone else. To not get "made" as an under cover officer. I think if it's 90+ degrees outside probably 99% of the population is wearing shorts. So by an U/C wearing shorts they are blending in with everyone else, looking more normal like everyone else around them, and thus making it easier to go undetected. So what the fuck is your problem with this guy/gal wearing shorts. Are you mad b/c they don't have on the tact uniform of carpenter jeans, black t-shirt and backwards baseball hat?

I think your numbers are off by a bit (at least according to Google Earth), but if you extend the boundary that Google Earth shows, it's at about 75th st.

I say that all privileged detailed need to go back to street patrol immediately and that compstat group be disbanded and sent to 007, 011, 004, 005 and south to cope with rise in shootings and homicides. Stop hiding and be the police. why even be in the job if you want to hide? Let someone else get in the job that wants to do the job. And yes, you might get shot, killed, spit and might have to stay late but, that's what being a cop means. Stop the hiding of people it serves no good for other officers and the communities in chicago.

I am a plain clothes officer and I wear shorts whenever it's over 80 degrees. When it get's over 90, I go to my Keen sandals (which, by the way I have run a 5K in). You want to switch your gear? Quit doggin it on a beat car suckhole. Or don't and just keep bitchin.

It would be at about 74th place if it was extended. And there is a 74th place way over east near the lake.

Douche bag kids. This is the answer. If you're working tact, you are NOT an undercover officer. If you're working narcotics or other specialized units, you may be undercover with a fake ID and all. When you work tact, you're only working in civilian attire. Your M plate car and duty gear don't make you "undercover" no matter how badly you want to tell the bar hag on the next stool how James Bond you are. Grow the fuck up and understand your role. Now go grab me some pissers and a couple of dime bags. You need the numbers. And don't forget to grab your shine box on the way out.

Lol "undercover" "getting made" "blending in" Hey douche bag. A tact or plain clothes officer is not undercover.Jeans and a backwards baseball hat doesn't make you "undercover". Do you not think that 99.9% of the neighborhood can spot you or know that you are the police from a mile away. Maybe the exposed gun in a holster and a big black vest that says police and a police star hanging from your neck give you away.
