No Shortages! Trust Us!

  • After a series of attacks and anti-Semitic threats, Jewish families in West Rogers Park have lined up their own security force of off-duty Chicago police officers to patrol the neighborhood.

    But the neighborhood's top police officers are unhappy about the move, saying they don't want residents to get a false sense of security.
Newsflash "top" police officers - they are less secure, and they can prove it. The uptick in hate crimes, the graffiti, robbery, thefts, etc. Crime is about perception. The community perceives that they are unsafe and are moving to take steps.

Wait until you see what some are saying:
  • "It was brought to our attention there was a group of citizens in the area that don't feel the police are serving the community the best we can," said Sgt. Shawn Sisk, who leads the district's community policing office. "We can't stop that from happening; however, we're not going to support it. We don’t want that to send a false sense of security to the neighborhood."
Um, a highly visible number of officer on patrol is a deterrent in itself there Sherlock. And the community isn't feeling it. So they reach outside the Department hierarchy to remedy the situation, by hiring members of the Department that they obviously know and trust and ...get this...pay them out of their own pockets to make them feel safer!

And what about the manpower issues?
  • But resident Andrew Glatz said the private patrols were not meant as an affront to the police department, but rather a complement. He said the trained officers know what to look for when out on patrol.

    "Given the cutbacks ... we just felt it was imperative to us to give extra eyes and ears to the police," Glatz said, comparing the move to patients at "wonderful hospitals" who might hire private nurses.
Cutbacks? There were cutbacks? Oh wait, that's just a direct way of saying what the city calls "reduction by attrition" where they don't open bids so people might be able to bid to a relatively nice assignment in a quieter district. We heard that the manpower numbers in the entire 024 District are well under 200 cops. For comparison purposes, a busy District like 007 will field more officers on any given day (even with one-third of officers RDO and another 7% on furlough) that 024 has on an entire watch.
  • But the police — in one of the safest districts in the city — implored residents to stop the patrols.

    Richard Concaildi, the CAPS beat facilitator for the area, encouraged residents to rely on 911 when they feel unsafe or witness suspicious behavior.
Didn't a few south side aldercreatures start up neighborhood patrols made up of off-duty cops to patrol business areas and politically sensitive blocks? And weren't these officers paid from a special fund collected from businesses, churches and interested citizens? And weren't the officers from the nearby district and therefore have a pretty good working knowledge of exactly what was going on?

But here's a CAPS weasel saying "rely on 911!" The community isn't stupid, they've seen the reductions in manpower, they feel the violence/intimidation getting worse, their still willing to put out a little extra money for protecting their families, but this moron wants them to rely on a system and an organization that they feel has already failed them. That is some dumb shit.

And stop fucking with coppers' side-jobs.

Numbers count. Choice: more cops on patrol, or arm the citizens and let them help patrol their street or neighborhood. Quit coddling and making it easy for criminals.

Another fucking merit hack heard from.

Do yourself the favor of shutting your fucking pie hole, you Koolaid-drinking, never-been-the-police company man. Spewing such nonsense just reinforces how out of touch you are with reality, pal. You need to leave the friendly confines of the 24th District community policing office once in a while. A dose of reality will do you good.

Pay attention kiddies... Sergeant Shawn Sisk exemplifies exactly what is wrong with this department. Add him to the long list of mindless, simpleton cowards tasked with "leading" you grunts in blue shirts.

When you ask yourself why this job continues to get worse every fucking day, look no further than specimens like the good sergeant for the answer.

I'm no Benjamin Natanyaho(forgive spelling)but The Jewish Peeps should feel Xtra safe w/Iron Mike around. That Dude is a real copper and Moses knows that Iron Mike possess a mind for this job second to none.
All my Jewish Friends should be worried about is that Iron Mike is in slightly better shape then Jeff Ross.

Let the neighborhood have what they want in terms of security. It helps the community and the Police Officers too (a little extra dough is always useful). Its a Win-Win all the way around.

WHOOOO!

The not so hidden hand of Rahm al-Ghoul is furiously
working it's 4.5 finger magic to keep the taxpayers in the dark about one third of CPD vanishing, the rest of everybody else exiled to Englehood and other garden spots while bids are suppressed to keep the exiled coppers from playing their seniority card and making their way back to civilization.

Rahm doesn't want those loud and noisy blacks burning his ass on TV about what's left of an intentionally depleted Police Department being
allowed to escape back to civilization.

Well... Maybe the rest of everybody else who have had
THEIR paid for share of Police Manpower stolen from
them, need to take a page or three out of the perpetual
victim/cry racism/tragedy pimp playbook and burn Rahm's ass on TV about the theft of Police Service.

"We mighty cuz we LOUD an' shit!"

Rahm figures the taxpayers inhabiting the Stolen Police Zones of this city are too nice to take up anger and hatred for not just having their Police stolen and "Redistributed" but for the sure as shit equal and opposite reaction of criminal hordes fleeing their now over-Policed nesting grounds and migrating to where The Police ain't...

They can't have any peace for the now emboldened, skull-on-a-stick waving m/fer being free and easy to somersault through their open bedroom window/get up in the hallway with them just before the door locks/stand too m/fing close at the EL stop etc...

Heh...
It's good that EVERYBODY is in danger now and timely Police response and presence is iffy-er than it's ever been.

Get mean.
Get mad.
Learn to fight hard
and dirty.

Take up the gun,
the knife, the bludgeon
and any other weapon
of opportunity.

You're not as safe as the elected says you are.

Jewish people have been under ridicule, attack and worse for centuries. We know what this feels like. So they are paying for extra protection and the city is upset. They can go fuck themselves. Our commander in chief is no better. He has abandoned Israel. Our number one ally. As Americans we need to tell him and Congress to stop being on the side of Islamists and to be on the side of Israel.

I m seeing a dramatic increase in aggressive Muslims doing "in our face" activities that come off to me as Muslim gangs staking out gang territories.

I was at at the Apple Computer flag ship store on North Michigan Ave and there were Muslim men not shopping or buying anything - just taking over a whole area and jabbering in Arabic and or Farsi.

Some creature, male or female or so ring was completely covered in full burka which is now illegal in most European countries. Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't this illegal I. The States, Chicago to be wearing disguise masks? Weren't these laws passed during the KKK terror years in the 1870s?

I never used to see Muslims showing their rear end butts to me doing the in my face bowing to Mecca, but I saw just that yesterday.

Jewish groups are well within their rights to form private patrols as French style attacks are now a distinct possibility here in Chicago and understand the Liberal Left will somehow blame Conservatives for creating a climate of hate.

West Rogers Park has been up and down with crime for decades. Glad I moved out of the City long ago...

As for calling 911 - yeah right. Police have NO DUTY to respond to 911 calls (per US Sup Ct). So you're on your own folks.

If the CAPS Sgt. doesn't like them hiring more off-duty cops, then how about everyone just carries a concealed firearm (or two, or three) and handles the problems as they arise on their own? Then they can call 311 and let the cops come by and clean up?

I have the pleasure to inform you that the "observant" Jews of West Rogers Park are very strong supporters of the police and law & order and not at all like their "liberal" cousins -- They have the clear belief of just follow/obey the law (civil and Torah) of legitimate (democratic) rule-following governments/authorities and support its agents behaving appropriately to ensure everyone's equal right to life and property -- and work to for a living and to provide charity to help those (in and outside their community) in need.

Here's what the libtards at MSNBC think of the Police.....The folks at MSNBC exhibited a sick sense of "humor" on Friday. As Gateway Pundit's Kristinn Taylor reported Friday afternoon, the network posted "a video to MSNBC’s Facebook page that mocks police over a criminal dragging a police officer by a car as he attempted to flee ..." The post asked the following question, which was also tweeted: "Does it count as a police chase if you take the cop along for the ride?" - See more at: http://newsbusters.org/blogs/tom-blumer/2015/05/18/msnbc-mocks-cop-dragged-fleeing-suspect#sthash.sUVKt47g.dpuf

In Los angeles, there are private security guards everywhere you look. Most businesses with parking lots have uniformed security guarding the lots. I was surprised to see such an army of private security everywhere. But they have the same issues we have, too few police spread out over very large areas, etc., even though they are assisted by their county police. This seems to be a growing trend.

The westend of 008? You mean beats 811-812? 2 bears 1/2 the size of anti-police we don't want to be policed engle woods? Let's see Zalewski the 23rd ward alderman was instrumental in encouraging the clearing night force to help beat 812, and on 811 we have the Garfield ridge neighborhood watch GRNW! Volunteers mostly senior citizens who want to help police and be eyes and ears of police using their own vehicles patrolling areas and calling police! Great concept! But then came Ed Burke and Marty Quinn madigans guy, and since they needed more Caucasian voters they sliced and diced up the ward!

Now they promised to bring more business to the decrepit looking archer av business strip, but look around nothing new! Why not VRI HERE? We pay high taxes but you concentrate so much manpower in the areas where people hate the police don't want police! When we were in the 23rd ward we had service now in 14 we are abandoned! Call and voice your concerns Ed Burke 773-471-1414 Madigans office 773-581-8000, Zalewski 773-582-4444 the squeaky wheel gets the grease! Why also since the ward has been gutted is so much section 8?

Sisk is a nice guy, but that doesn't mean he's a leader.
He was fortunate. He did four years as a patrol officer and then got himself promoted to sergeant.
He doesn't really know shit about being the police other then what he's read in books.
When he would wake up on 1st watch and come into the station to take a piss and be seen by the Captain, he would occasionally came to "help" you on your paper and get involved, you knew it was about to become a cluster fuck and a circus.
I'm glad to see that he's not fucking things up anymore. The CAPS office is a good place to stick him where he won't fuck anything up too bad.

Shaun Sisk has always been pro company and a big yes man. He always has been, but I don't think he denies it.
I think he's okay with his lot in life. Whatever gets him prompted: ass kissing, fucking coppers the big bosses don't like, etc.
There are a lot of supervisors running around that are identical to him, the only difference is Shaun doesn't hide it, so you know exactly who you're dealing with.
Don't tell him anything you don't want to get back to his bosses and don't give him an opportunity to shit on you to make himself look better.
If you know the kind of supervisor he is you can insulate yourself from his bullshit.
He might be a backstabbing company yes man but...... I can't seem to finish that sentence.
