• A proposal to hire more police officers rather than pay up to $100 million in overtime died in the Budget Committee Monday.
  
  The measure, which would have diverted $25 million in the 2014 city budget to hire at least 200 and as many as 500 more officers, was tabled under a motion by Ald. James Balcer (11th), head of the Public Safety Committee.
• Budget Director Alexandra Holt testified Monday that, while a rookie officer has a salary of $43,000, total first-year costs of hiring that officer were $76,000.
  
  "The costs begin to accumulate quite quickly," Holt added, with police salary topping $100,000 within four years.

Really? Someone has been shorting us then. Let's get out the calculators. We're owed at least a quarter million at those rates. Anyone else want to hop on this one?

 

Shootings are up, other crime stats are artifically down due to false reporting and citizen safety is at all time lows and this dies in committee.

 

The Alderman have no trouble giving themselves raises but table anything that has to do with public safety.

 

We need new politicians in office...now.

Ervin Pisses on MLK's Dream Again

There are scumbags, then there are scumbags. Aldercreature Jason Ervin is the latter:

• The commander of a West Side police district is leaving to become a police chief in the suburbs — prompting an alderman to demand that Chicago Police Supt. Garry McCarthy fill the position with a black candidate.
  
  At a budget hearing last month, Ald. Jason Ervin (28th) engaged in a heated confrontation with McCarthy over his decision to transfer James O’Grady, who is white, to the predominately black Harrison District.
  
  “We have a lot of people at the table. They felt this was just a slap in the face,” Ervin said Monday, adding that West Side residents are planning a news conference before Wednesday’s City Council meeting to turn up the heat on McCarthy.

Heat? They just had a black commander. And before that, a Polynesian - she was Polynesian, right? She went through her career telling everyone she was Polynesian...."The Lyin' Hawaiian" if we recall.

In any event, this is "a slap in the face" because only black officers, sergeants, lieutenants and commanders can patrol black areas, right? The community is scarred and fractured over a white guy running the joint for two months:

• “It was rumored that he was leaving. I don’t think it was necessary to put our community through that kind of strife,” Ervin said of the transition of O’Grady becoming commander in Harrison.

We drove through 011 the other day and you can barely recognize the place. Irish flags flying every where, streets mostly clean and pothole free, brand new construction and high rises all over the place. Someone even said the Italians were moving back into Our Lady of the Angels.

Imagine the slap in the face I felt back when I was looked over for promotion to sergeant for no other reason than because I am NOT black. True. We had a thing called race-norming and because of that and only because of that I lost out on my promotion.

If it was ranked by test scores I had it but it wasn't. Someone who scored many points beneath me got the promotion instead. I am retired now and lost out on the sergeants pension. 

 

This blog and this commenter are both wrong and liars.  In this great democratic country, if laws did not protect he minority, none would ever get any higher than the lowest position offered and might not get that.

Too

A 20-year-old man on parole in a 2009 carjacking is the second person charged in the slaying of a veteran UPS employee who was gunned down in a robbery as he walked to a West Garfield Park "L" stop on his way to work late Tuesday, Cook County prosecutors said.

Charged Friday afternoon was Derrick Williams, 20, who police said was the gunman who fatally shot Michael Sullivan, 53, as he walked to the Pulaski Green Line "L" stop on his way to work. Earlier Friday, Rayshon Williams, 16, was ordered held on $1 million bond after being charged as an adult with murder Sullivan's slaying.

And thanks to Governor Potatohead, the democratic run state prisons and parole board, a violent criminal is out in near record time:

• Derrick Williams was paroled from prison in May in connection with an aggravated vehicular hijacking that took place about 8:40 p.m. on Nov. 18, 2009, in the 200 block of North Karlov Avenue, according to court and police records. He had been sentenced to serve 7 years. Rayshon Williams is on parole in a juvenile possession of a controlled substance case from 2012 when he was arrested, prosecutors said.

And according to a number of e-mails, this is a west side rarity - a legit victim, set to retire and enjoy his golden years with the grandkids, now nothing but a memory.

Preckwinkle claims there are too many black and brown persons behind bars and the democratic pols eat this crap up and waive years of sentences at the drop of a hat. Then tey have the audacity to claim they're "saving money" by emptying prisons. Does anyone really give a shit as long as it's the right black and brown people serving time? You know, the predators killing grandfathers just trying to get to the finish line of life.

You know officers it's FLU SEASON!!!!!!! it would be a shame if officers came down with the flu

When it comes to minority areas and especailly the 10th, 11th District, the Officers are already have come down with the flu. The Hobroes, Conservative Vice Lords have "ran" the west side for at least fifty years and are only now being prosecuted after years of destroying total families, who themselves have been accused of being the criminals and then found themselves fighting the gangbangers and the criminal charges.

I was on the scene of this incident and I knew right away this was a legit victim (not some shithead shot by other shithead). What shame but this is what happens when everyone wants to be politically correct and ignore the reality of the situation

How was he able to determine a "legit victim?" The HoBros boast of calling their victim,s thieves or accuse them of engaging in other criminal activity to the police until "a stupid cop starts trying to arrest them."  A victim is a victim, if they stop trying to play God and Judge, Jury and Excutioner, crime would go down considerably and productive, smart people could live their lives out happily.

Well said.i am black and cpd. it is the animals killing there own people.all these politicians are full of bull. when you let the animals out. this is what you get. if they know that they will not get the death penalty. they will continue to kill, rob and rape. Like in the clint eastwood movie.''i say hang em high.

I agree with you 100%. The politicians on the west side especially only care about staying in office, in spite, of complainging about low pay they say these positions pay, this is the most money these idiots will get and they will join with the devil to keep these positions even though they know they are unqualified. They know that the public is too stupid to realize they are being taken and a few throw out a few token schlorships here and there and hold annual back-to-school picnics to keep the masses appeased.

The only problem with you Officer is that too many Chicago Police Officers get caught robbing and raping right along with the gangbangers and their politician friends.

I work in a very busy district. There are a lot of decent "black and brown folks" in the 10th district. So when they let one of those "innocent black or brown inmates" out, guess who is the victim usually? That is right, the "black or brown legit person who plays by the rules". These politicians are pure assholes. They care about the evil doers but not the people who work their tail off day in and day out.

The 10th District is a very busy district and too many of your Oficers are very busy getting caught robbing and raping right along with the Hobroes and dope boys. The politicians care about the evil doers only to keep themselves in office with their votes and he corrupt cops like them to use them to cover their own evil crimes. Thepoliticians may even hate the people who work their tail off day in and day because that person may realize the travesty of these unqualififed idiots in office and run agains them.


It seems new Officers are smarter or may be better trained than some of the older Officers in the 10th District or it may be McCarthy's policing strategies that statistics show crime is going down.

Crime still needs to go down for every victim...
