body count just went up by 2 for 2015, so the official count is now 501. Congrats Chicago!

Also, 2016 is off to a RECORD PACE of 2 homicides/day. 5 more shot today, with 1 in critical, but the night is young.


This is from a cop on that Police Blog you guys love me quoting:


"Guys, this is the policing model that the majority of citizens want in Chicago. The politicians are merely bowing to the wishes of the public. The public doesn't want us to be aggressive, even when some of them say they want us to be.

When the people are truly ready for change, the politicians will bow to the public and all of a sudden become law-and-order tough on crime candidates.

But I don't see that happening. Not with so much of the city now a ghetto, and a sanctuary city at that. No one wants laws enforced, no one wants us aggressively taking the fight for public safety to the gangs. How many known gang members now reside in Chicago, 100,000? Add to that number the friends and family of gang members, and the people who just have a problem with the Police, and you can see we are hopelessly outnumbered.

Right now, the majority electorate of the city, including illegals voting illegally, is comprised of a coalition of ghetto dwellers and north side liberals, the Gold Coast denizens in LaLa Land and the cafe afficianados/baristas/"students". None of whom are fans of yours. Or at least not enough of them to make a difference.

Act accordingly. Particularly you guys in ghetto districts. Let your hard work and sacrifices be not in vain, for the inhabitants of the particular corner of urban jungle to which you are assigned do not love you nor appreciate your efforts.

If they did, they would cooperate much more willingly. A community supporting and cooperating with its law enforcement would make the city's neighborhoods too hot for any gang members. But we all know this not to be the case.

Act accordingly. We took oaths, but those oaths are dependent upon a certain degree of trust and support from the people. When that is not forthcoming, when one party breaks its part of the deal, then we are absolved.

Right now, we are or should be merely mercenaries, hired to make reports and go through the motions. Most of the guys I see, we are professional but our hearts are no longer in this. Just marking time, almost like a prison sentence, counting the days to retirement.

And please, no one bring up that pendulum swinging back in our direction. The damned libtards broke the thing off. There is no more pendulum.

This city has some amazing sights and features, but unless certain policies can be reversed, such as catering to the welfare class/voter and this sanctuary city nonsense, then I'm afraid it must all be abandoned by decent working people. There is no other way.

Would that I were wrong."
