Lakefront 10-1 (UPDATES)

Gas teams mobilized, all bikes and nearby tactical teams sent to Montrose beach. Officer injured and coppers being bottled. What the hell is going on?  The Sun Times barely covers it:
  • Two Chicago Police officers were injured while trying to break up a fight Sunday night at Montrose Beach.

    Police responded to the fight at Montrose Beach in the 4400 block of North Simonds Drive about 7:37 p.m., said Ana Pacheco, a police spokeswoman.

    While police tried to break up the fight, someone threw a bottle and struck an officer, according to police and fire officials. The officer was taken to Weiss Memorial Hospital in good condition, according to a fire department spokesman. He was treated for his injury and released.

    Another officer was injured during the fight but refused medical treatment, police said.
That doesn't explain the gas teams. The Tribune says even less than the Sun Times, burying the lakefront breakdown in a story about Sunday's shootings. Something is seriously wrong in Chicago. No one in the media has a scanner?

UPDATE: CrimeInBoystown blog has much better reporting that the major media outlets, including radio transcripts they typed up.

UPDATE: Video of the mayhem beginning. See it, save it, before they take it down and it disappears at the behest of Rahm.

UPDATE: They removed the video - but it'll turn up soon we hope. The internet is forever.

UPDATE: Channel 7 has portions of the video, including a copper getting hit in the back by a thrown bottle and debris. We can't imagine why Rahm or Garry wouldn't want this video broadcast far and wide - it would justify a crackdown of ....oh....wait...."crackdown," right. Can't have the police defending themselves and making the community safe for the decent law abiding taxpayers.

UPDATE: CrimeInBoystown (and Wrigleyville) blog has the video and other video as well.

From crimeinwrigleyville.

Then, at 7:38PM, a 20th district police unit reported that a man with a gun was being reported within a "big party" near Wilson and Simmonds. From there, the situation spiraled out of control:
7:45PM - Unit 2004F: "They're throwing things at us…Need more cars."
7:46PM - Sergeant: "Get out of the park. Get all policemen out of the park NOW."
7:47PM - Unit 1905: Vehicle has been damaged
7:48PM - Unit 2004F: "Get us some fucking help over here!"
7:49PM - Unit 1901: Pull units from other districts
7:49PM - "We got an officer hit with a bottle. He's bleeding."
7:50PM - Shut down all roads into lakefront from Foster to Montrose.
7:51PM - Estimate the size of the crowd. "It's quite a few hundred people."
7:51PM - They're still throwing bottles at the police.
7:52PM - 19th District Tactical Lieutenant: "Put in [an emergency plan] and.. get us a helicopter."
7:55PM - The 19th district does not have any gas. If it's needed, the only gas team would be in SWAT.
7:55PM - Respond to bait shop. We'll stage there and go in as a large group.
7:56PM - 2 arrested at Wilson and Simmonds.
7:56PM - The 19th district commander is en route.
7:58PM - 18th, 17th, and 16th districts will meet you at the bait shop.
7:59PM - Just so you know, the 20th district has a 10-1 [Officer needs help] at Jarvis and the lakefront right now, too.
Units from outside of the 19th district were sent back to their normal assignments at 9PM. The lakefront will remain closed all night by police order.

So some people want to fight. Well let them fight. We cause more problems than we solve by sticking our blue noses into things and stirring the pot. Except for the ones fighting, it was probably fairly peaceful until the cops got involved. Let the people let off some steam, a fight is no big thing.

Classic Hairgel mistake.

Unless it's you or your partner being battered, you let them fight until they run outta gas. Meanwhile, you keep an eye on your surroundings so you DON'T get cracked in the head with a bottle (or worse).

Loser goes to the hospital and the winner goes to jail. Police don't get hurt from trying to separate two assholes, and they don't get hurt from jagoffs in the crowd.

Policing 101, kiddies.

Speedy recovery to the coppers.

"Rader recalled a conversation he had with his friend in Milwaukee a year or two ago, before Lewis moved to Chicago.

“We were talking about conceal-carry gun licenses and how much nonsense it was and how unlikely it was that you’d ever get into a confrontation . . . He just thought it wasn’t something an everyday person would have to deal with,” Rader said."

------------

Yeah, just like all the other things us policemen have been talking about on this blog, warning the public. Obama, Detroit, democrats, phaser, Jesse, etc etc and on and on.

We know what we are talking about. Just like if you want to know what's really going on with your car, don't ask the dealership salesman, go ask a mechanic. If you want to know what's really going on in the city behind the scenes, listen to the police.

While these gun grabbing politicians tell you one thing, We see everything. We go inside these peoples homes and see how they really live. Can't get much more personal than that.

Don't let anyone bullshit you SCC. That was the closest thing to a full blown riot in quite some time. Dozens and dozens of rocks, bottles, cans and garbage thrown at responding police until enough help on the scene, teams were mobilized and moved in to bust up the crowds. One squad was trashed and 4 cops got hurt. Lot of calls of people with guns in the crowd. A blessed miracle that a shootout didn't happen and people got killed.

Rahm says that everything is OK and you should just bring your family to the city. Then you should call any overseas people you know and tell them how great Chicago is to come to and spend your money in.

Because nothing is going on here while he's in charge. His leadership with Gary the Drunk controlling public safety is stellar. If you don't believe that, he'll flip you off with his stump. That'll learn ya.

They do but they may not want to report it. CBS has been roundly criticized by the lib blogs and media for reporting the mayhem on Mich ave, Navy pier and downtown in general over the 4th and using what was heard on the scanner as the basis of the report instead of eye witness accounts
I'm sure this event will be dismissed as over zealous police trying to move young people who were just trying to enjoy a nice evening on the lakefront.

It completely puzzles me that none of this stuff gets any coverage from the media. You would think enough is enough and the public would want a safe city.

The crime in boystown blog has the video that was taken down.

Around 0:30, there's a little girl about 5 or 6 that walks by... her parents trying as calmly as possible to move her out of the situation. I feel for her parents and the child. They probably thought the event was a nice night at the beach until the bottles started flying. Hopefully the family got out safely. Damn shame that they had to put up with that.

Also, speedy recovery to the officers.

Montrose used to be such a great place to hang out and fish. I had a part time job with park district and would be at harbor in the middle of the night. Never any real problems. Shame it went south

The Bike Unit has been assigned under many different Units over the years. They ewre utilized intelligently back in the day when they were assigned the WHOLE lakefront during the summer months. They were able to get in and out of all the nooks of the lakefront that they became very familiare with. Many bosses later.... they are just an after thought. Call everybody in as a REACTION to just stand around and scratch their butts. Run the bike unit like it was before,not just 001 and 018 districts, and put up a smaller Summer Mobile Unit again just on third watch. Come on Gulliford you know what I'm talking about.

Sign of the times. No police available...actually not enough police.

So still, today, citizens are blaming the police and not the Mayor.
Kass had another called who used the term "the element...jungle out there...", he spoke mind and then cut off. Kass didn't like the term "jungle" fearing it my be considered racist.
I agree.
With the caller.

Exclusive poll: Karen Lewis could give Rahm run for his money

If the mayoral election were held today, the lightning rod union leader who was the architect behind a 2012 teachers’ strike would beat Emanuel by 9 percentage points in a head-to-head contest, the survey found.

Lewis was leading Emanuel 45 percent to 36 percent with 18 percent of the likely voters undecided.

And Emanuel could face an even steeper hill if he faces Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle, long considered his most formidable challenger.

A head-to-head contest found Preckwinkle in a romp vs. Emanuel by a stunning 24 points.

The spin is hilarious.

Taste of Chicago shutdown for an entire day and the city says...wait for it...

"Taste Attendance Losses Minimal, City Says"

Yep, you heard that right from the fifth floor, City Hall!

"CITY HALL — Even with Saturday a washout, the Taste of Chicago still drew 1.1 million visitors this year, according to the mayor's office.

The rejuvenated Taste attracted 1.5 million last year, when it turned a profit for the first time in years. But this year's attendance was down even from the 1.2 million who turned out in 2012."
-----------------------

Ya know. I find it amazing how quickly they come out with these numbers. Usually it takes weeks for them to tally up the proceeds.

However, when attendance drops by over 400,000 from last year I guess you have to get out there and spin it in a hurry. There's no time to waste.

Yeah so attendance losses were minimal eh? How about the profit losses? What did the vendors say?
-------------------------------

"Still, turning a profit could be more problematic this year. The city will pay Jeff Tweedy and Lucinda Williams, who were slated to perform at the Petrillo Music Shell on Saturday before the city had to call off the fest for the day because of heavy rains and flooding

***

"I understand that safety is always a concern," said Charlie Robinson, owner of Robinson's No. 1 Ribs, a perennial Taste favorite. Yet he called the loss of one of the five days the Taste "a tremendous hurt," and estimated sales were down overall about 30 percent.

"I don't know who made the decision to shut it down," Robinson added. "We actually had about seven, eight hours of no rain" after the decision was announced Saturday."


***

"We were down big time," Robinson said. "I don't know what really happened this year. On Wednesday and Thursday, we just didn't get the turnout." He questioned the bookings with "no big draw," the way Robin Thicke attracted fans to last year's fest, including a gyrating Emanuel.

May said "final sales and revenue will be available when all accounting is reconciled at a later date." She could not comment on if there were any chance the Tweedy-Williams concert would be rescheduled. As it stands, those who bought tickets for the concert will get refunds.

============================

Ha, those pesky dollar figures we'll tally up those later. Perhaps after no-one is paying attention.

Looks like the Trib has made this a bigger story:

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-montrose-beach-police-fight-20140713,0,3748178.story

Better late than never. Here's a juicy quote from the alder-parasite:

"Look at Oak Street Beach. Do you see this many parking spots there? Look at Lincoln Park. There just aren't this many parking spots in such a concentrated area in other parts of the city," he said. "I want the Park District and the police department to come up with a plan to discourage that many people from driving down there and parking."

There you go. Get rid of the parking, get rid of the problem. Hell, get rid of the BEACH and you'll get rid of the problem too.

Typical politician thinking... blame the PARKING! I can try to re-elect myself on by campaigning against the PARKING spots!

Alderscum has NO IDEA how large a draw the parking spaces are to Montrose beach. I know suburban friends who come into the city and park at Montrose to ride their bikes along the lakefront. The reason they park at Montrose? They CAN park there! Take away the parking, and you'll take away the good citizens along with the bad.

Moron!

Don't look at the lakefront riot. Look at my photo-op table of "confiscated guns." Again.

Charges filed in Montrose Beach melee as top cop defends response

By Peter Nickeas, Juan Perez Jr. and John Byrne Tribune reporters

1:17 p.m. CDT, July 14, 2014

"Chicago police Superintendent Garry McCarthy today said the department had a sufficient number of officers at Montrose Beach on Sunday to quell a melee that erupted at an unlicensed party.

McCarthy, who often holds a weekly press conference to highlight the department’s gun seizures, expressed frustration at reporters' questions about the melee in which four officers were injured.

"I'm trying to tell you all about gun violence here in the city..."

"Efrain Saucedo, 23, and Emmanuel Lopez, 19, both of Aurora were each charged with felony aggravated battery, police said. Saucedo and Lopez were observed throwing bottles that struck two officers as they responded to the disturbance..

"Also arrested were a 19-year-old Summit man and a 22-year-old Aurora man who were charged with misdemeanor aggravated assault to a police officer and misdemeanor mob action...A 17-year-old boy from Chicago was also arrested and charged with misdemeanor mob action and felony criminal damage to property...

"Four Chicago police officers were injured and a squad car was damaged when the fight broke out among the large crowd that had gathered for The Tamborazo Beach Party concert near Montrose Beach...

"At least 10 people were arrested as police worked for 90 minutes Sunday night to bring the crowd under control and close the park, which was strewn with broken glass...

"Two of the officers were hit with bottles. One of them suffered a cut and was treated at Weiss Memorial Hospital, officials said. The other complained of pain and dizziness and was treated at the scene. Two others were hit by debris but refused treatment, police said.

"A supervisor ordered the officers out of the crowd and a "10-1" call was broadcast on the police radios, code for officer in need of assistance.

"The 10-1 brought officers from districts as far west as O’Hare International Airport, as far north as the border with Evanston and as far south as 31st Street. Police from Jefferson Park, Albany Park, Shakespeare, Rogers Park, Lincoln, Near North and Central districts all responded, along with detectives and specialized units that patrol the city.

Police regrouped by a bait shop within the park and formed “skirmish lines” generally two officers deep to push the crowd north and then west. A police helicopter also responded.

"Felony charges were pending against two men for aggravated battery to a police officer and two others for aggravated assault to a police officer. Six others faced a variety of charges...."

There *they* go again, those dam white people can screw up anything.

A couple hundred *Euro-Trash-Americans* getting together in one of Chicago's finest lake front parks for a huge drunk fest to celebrate Germany winning the World Cup, and naturally it follows that those nazi fascists would get into a drunken brawl at some time.

And 'prolly' over something really stupid -- like dissing Angela Merkel, or refusing to sing "Deutschland, Deutschland über alles".

To boot, the Euro-Trash leaves their stinking garbage all over the ground, the grass covered with empty bottles of Beck's and St Paulie Girl beer, Jägermeister liqueur, and enough Bratwurst wrappers to fill two Garbage Trucks. Fuckin' pigs.

As proof of how low-class, no-class, these euro-trash are just watch this YouTube video, you'll see for yourselves.

Took a few hours, but the media is all over the story.

http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2014/07/14/frustrated-mccarthy-we-had-people-who-died-over-the-weekend/

Even questioning McCarthy. McCarthy in frustration took out his service weapon and began reflexively shooting at the lights on the cameras. I kid.

Also the video disappeared, but some people saved it.

I'm certainly not blaming the Dept. for riotous actions that drunken assholes chose to commit, but other districts that have nightclubs and large populations of young people actually proactively monitor social media for unlicensed parties. The organizers are contacted, cease and desists orders are issued by the city and the event does not occur. I've seen it to be quite effective. It's 2014 and while we can't predict every disturbance, a little bit of electronic prevention is worth a pound of cure.

I like how McCarthy is trying to divert attention from this back to his gun agenda. What an asshole! Saying there were plenty of coppers to handle a "disturbance in the park" and it wasn't that big an issue. Yeah, there were plenty of coppers there, after they called a 10-1 asking for cars from all over the City to respond.

According to this link over 1,000 people were going to attend and it is an annual event. Can charges be put against the organizers since no permits were taken out?

Wouldn't have happened to the Summer Mobile Force of the 1980's. Every single bottle of beer would have been confiscated and locked up in the trunks of the squad cars. Officer safety was big in those days.

Yes, the chaos video was pulled somewhere around 2000 hrs.
Now, if the po-lice acted inappropriately it would have been on every news channel over and over and over.

Fuck it. Maybe we should start calling for the Fire Department. Open up the hoses on these assholes. They won't be standing around anymore. After a few minutes they would be running anywhere but at the police.

I'm sure everyone has read this but can some one explain to a layman just what is "a quality of life offense". Isn't everything these animals do effect our quality of life or does the Administration have a different defination of that?

Much respect to the CPD who go out every day and try to keep us safe from this trash. I'm a Lakefront Liberal GAY voter who is tired of all of this mess. Our city is going down the toilet. Yes I plan on voting out Rahm. But I don't know what to do until then.

Buy a gun. Learn how to use it. Avoid the lakefront, downtown or any other large gathering place until we can vote this Mayor out and replace his Superintendent.

You will have to go out in the suburbs. Many have changed their habits, so must you.

Talk to your friends and make sure they all understand that these politician/celebrities (celebriticians?) have to go.

To the poster questioning why the FOP should be involved without contact violation... Well, police shootings arent a contract violation but our dues pay for a spokesman. The president us the official spokesman and no one has heard from him. Too busy running across the street to count his money he wont "return".

The FOP Board voted to endorse a Trooper who hates Lodge 7. Rumor is that F.Di. is putting his name in for State pres.

This city needs an armored vehicle with a water cannon. That riot would have been over in about fifteen minutes and the party goers could wait another month for a shower.

Montrose Beach has gone up for grabs numerous times in the past.
Since it's been yuppified, the Brass have been lulled into a false sense of security.
Supervisors have once again shown their lack of leadership when it comes to deployment of Officers when shit hits the fan.
It WILL happen again, count on it.

This was barely mentioned in the news. The city is becoming unreal. The so called safer areas are turning into dangerous ghettos.
How many of you think the Taste of Chicago was cancelled this past Saturday due to the threat of crime? FYI - this was the first time of being cancelled since it's 1980 debut. The media keeps saying it was due to weather, but I think Rahm wanted to play it safe and not take the chance of repeating last weeks bloody weekend.

The old "Summer Mobile Force" would never allow that to happen! They would confiscate all the alcohol before they entered Park District property. They had to stock up for their own parties!!!
