CRIME Few answers as Chicago hit with worst violence in nearly 20 years

Yes, the 60 Minutes story airs tomorrow night. It details the fact that "proactive policing" , where cops are looking for lawbreakers, has dropped to essentially zero. They are just answering 911 calls now. A spokesman said that cop morale is at an all-time low.

Yes, we know what the solutions, are but those solutions are incompatible with the militant ****** organizations. I mean look: another thread on Page One details a "cops as pigs" painting ON DISPLAY IN THE US CAPITOL. You can't expect quality policing when this level of overt hostility toward cops is prevalent.

It should be interesting to watch whichever ultraliberal 60 Minutes reporter is assigned, attempting to "grope for answers". Most entertaining....

Missed that thread. I hope (if it's in the White House or Capitol building) that THAT painting will be one of the FIRST things Trump takes down...

It all comes down in the end a question of "who benefits" from allowing these conditions to perpetuate in a major US city (and not the only such city)....

Update: Watched it, and it ran 35 minutes later after the game in our CBS region ended.

Garry got very little screentime, edited to smithereens as expected. There is a Fr. Phleger extra segment at 60 Minutes site. Twitter is abuzz in the last hour the radical priest is offering a bounty ( cash to turn in warlords ).

Truthfully, this felt like an ambush interview designed to discredit Rahm in favor of Toni Preckwinkel for Mayor next time.

Rahm refused to even go on camera for 60 Minutes. Yep Stay Fetal is the name of the game now.

But I tell ya, I was there for Cubs in the World Series and CPD did a great job of crowd control.

rowdy and raucous as only Wrigleyville can be, nobody was shot or killed during any of the games, with scads of people there

Contrast that with any random Taco Tuesday on the south side and its "3 dead, five wounded". Its not going to stop.

If there is a full transcript with Garry, I would like to read it.

Anyone else saw it, please chime in with your thoughts

The only answer these lefties are looking for is a total ban on guns. Since they cannot get that they are left with 'few answers'.

Rather than banning tools how about they try banning violent behaviour? I am sure that will work out.

Until people can start talking about the violent culture of the inner cities in honest ways without having the discourse shouted down by the enablers as racism we cannot even begin to dissect the problem let alone come up with any real solutions.

I have a dream where my children will live in a country where they cannot be judged by the content of their character because of the color of their skin.

All of the violence problems in Chicongo, and all of the other
major metro areas, has its genesis from, the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

The nation at that time decided to pander to, the African race,
and to some extent, all non-European races or people's.

The African race, is a 3rd world race, has been, and always will be.
In the entire world, the Earth, 95 percent of the African race are
what most would call POS ******s, controlled completely
by what I have came to call their behaviors, the tribal jungle culture.

You are witnessing that culture today in Chicongo. It is the same culture,
that is rampant in the jungles of Africa, and it is the culture that
destoryed such formalily first world nations, Rhodesia and is
currently destroying South Africa, and it would destroy the FUSA,
if the demographics were reversed.

Only overwhelmely physical force, will stop the destruction,
that is being visited upon Chicongo, by these savage feral pavement apes.

Chicongo and all other major metro areas, with a large African
population demographic, need to be placed under military control,
with the National Guard from those states, providing the policing.

Remember, these are not normal human beings that we are talking about.
Most of them are basterds, who do not even know who their father is,
solely in this world, for a damned welfare check, due to the 1964 CRA

There are at least two generations of these bastereds
and they multiply like rabbits, due to the welfare check.

Stop the welfare checks, and deploy the National Guard.

Also, as I research and study the African race everyday,
I believe that ultimately, a solution to provide repatriation
back to Africa, for the Africans in the FUSA must be devised,
as they have not, and never will fully assimilate
into a first world society, such as the FUSA still is.

This was the primary reason for segregation,
as our ancestors knew, they knew, how different
the African race is, and that being separate was
not only best for the White race, but also the African race.

Liberalism, as usual is all about destruction, and it has for
all intents and purposes, destructed the African race in the FUSA.

There is no going back to prior 1964. Only militarizing the metro areas,
and getting the Africans back to Africa, can provide the needed solution.

Regards to all deplorables,

nope - exact thing has been tried 4 ways to Sunday - the city has busted the bank flooding the Shooting Gallery with cops - $$$$$ MILLIONS upon MILLIONS $$$$ in overtime salaries - slow down in shootings while the cops have arms linked and circling thru the streets - the shootings go up the day after to make up the difference ....

it's an uncivilized culture thing - plain & simple - it's how they want to live - there's absolutely NO cooperation from the black ghetto .... the CPD murder solve rate is like 20% for the entire city - ghetto shootings is less than 1% .... what's done in the ghetto - stays in the ghetto

The only way this black violence will be stopped is by the blacks themselves

If you look at the crime statistics by area of Chicago you can see the problem areas

... and it's an honest bet that those areas are made up of multiple generations of unmarried baby mommy's who brood multiple children by multiple different black males who never have anything to do with their kids

They are raised by either mommy or baby daddy as free range kids who run the streets and become part of the same gangs their babby mommy and baby daddy grew up in ... drawing Public Aid and being told just how Da' man has kept them down

... mommy and daddy are usually to busy getting high ... getting drunk ... etc. and frankly were raised the same way

Education is a joke or worse to them and they are raised in a culture that blames all of their problems on everybody but themselves ... hell they go out of their way to punish any black that is trying to actually get an education and work their way out of the cesspool

They few that are actually raised by a grandma that gets it and is raised in a church environment end up being brow beaten or worse by their peers and a few ... very few actually escape the ghetto and never come back

This sarcastically - culture - is the outcome of the Dimmy's movements in the 50's that broke up strong black families and black neighborhoods to build themselves a compliant culture that would come out to vote (and vote and vote multiple times) for the dimmy-whack machine ... but they've lost complete control over their creation

Billions have been pored into the area ... Police aren't going to change it ... politicians aren't going to change it ... and frankly that culture is so broken that the blacks don't have even an inkling of how to change it

One of Chicago’s bloodiest years ends with 762 homicides

By The Associated Press
January 1, 2017 at 11:51 pm
By Don Babwin, Associated Press

CHICAGO — One of the most violent years in Chicago history ended with a sobering tally: 762 homicides, the most in two decades in the city and more than New York and Los Angeles combined.

The nation’s third largest city also saw 1,100 more shooting incidents last year than it did in 2015, according to data released Sunday by the Chicago Police Department. The statistics underline a story of bloodshed that has put Chicago at the center of a national dialogue about gun violence.

The numbers are staggering, even for those who followed the steady news accounts of weekends ending with dozens of shootings and monthly death tolls that hadn’t been seen in years. The increase in homicides compared to 2015, when 485 were reported, is the largest spike in 60 years.

Police and city officials have lamented the flood of illegal guns into the city, and the crime statistics appeared to support their claims: Police recovered 8,300 illegal guns in 2016, a 20 percent increase from the previous year.

Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson said during a news conference Sunday that Chicago is among many U.S. cities that have seen a spike in violence, including in attacks on police. He said anger at police, including in the wake of video released that showed a white Chicago officer shooting a black teenager 16 times, has left criminals “emboldened” to violent crimes.

Homicide Report

Track this year’s homicides in Denver, and compare the city’s homicide rate to Denver’s homicide rate in past years.

He also said it’s becoming clearer to criminals that they have little to fear from the criminal justice system.

“In Chicago, we just don’t have a deterrent to pick up a gun,” he said. “Any time a guy stealing a loaf of bread spends more time pre-trial in jail than a gun offender, something is wrong.”

Johnson, who has for months complained about Illinois’ lax gun laws, said he thinks more and more gang members are arming themselves because the price for being caught is small compared to other large cities. He said gang members he has spoken to consider the court system “a joke.”

The bulk of the deaths and shooting incidents, which jumped from 2,426 in 2015 to 3,550 last year, occurred in only five of the city’s 22 police districts on the city’s South and West sides, all poor and predominantly black areas where gangs are most active.

Police said the shootings in those areas generally weren’t random, with more than 80 percent of the victims having previously been identified by police as more susceptible because of their gang ties or past arrests.

The city has scrambled to address the violence. Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced last year that 1,000 officers would be added to the police department. At the same time, police officials have been trying to figure out why homicides and shootings — which began climbing the year before — suddenly surged.

On Sunday, Johnson said he hoped several initiatives — including more street cameras in some of the city’s most dangerous neighborhoods, and the expansion of gunshot-detection systems — would lead to more arrests and drive down the violent crime rate.

Johnson has said several factors have contributed to the increased violence. He noted 2016 was the first full year since the city was forced in November 2015 to release video of the fatal police shooting of Laquan McDonald, the black 17-year-old boy who was shot 16 times by a white police officer.

The video cost former Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy his job, sparked major protests around the city, and led to federal and state investigations of the police department.

It also left Johnson with the task of trying to restore public trust in what appeared to be a weakened police force, a perception that was only buttressed by a dramatic drop in the number of arrests in 2016.

The police department has cited several factors for the declining numbers, including a concerted effort not to make minor drug arrests and focus on gun violence. Johnson pointed to gun arrests and gun seizures as evidence that his officers are aggressively fighting crime.

But critics said they have no doubt that officers have become far more reluctant to do their jobs since the McDonald video was released and the officer who killed the teen was charged with murder.

“It’s almost like a pull back so they (gangs) can kill each other sort of thing,” said the Rev. Marshall Hatch, a prominent minister in one of Chicago’s most dangerous neighborhoods on the West Side.

Johnson acknowledged in a recent interview with The Associated Press that officers have become more cautious — in part out of fear of becoming the next “viral video.” He also said a state law that took effect last January requiring officers to fill out lengthy contact cards when they stop someone has resulted in fewer stops, because the cards require more paperwork for officers and the cards are “scrutinized” by federal judges.

He said those concerns are not lost on criminals.

“Criminals watch TV, pay attention to the media,” he said. “They see an opportunity to commit nefarious activity.”

Well with no Bears post season football to discuss, Chicago talk radio is on fire this morning after Chief McCarthy appearance.

He will be coming up on WLS AM (not FM) next hour for rebuttal Q & A on the 60 Minutes segment. Should be interesting.

I expect it will be discussed later on WBEZ radio and WTTW Chicago Tonight on local PBS. He's talk of the town today!

And some caller suggests Garry should run for Mayor, lol. He would have more oversight over the CPD than the Supt. does.

I've seen this movie before, lots of Big Shoulders jockeying for the powerslots in the post Obama, post Rahm era ahead.

City is gearing up for huge POTUS farewell speech Jan. 10th at McCormick Place, which sounds like a security nightmare.

Expect More Spectacle.

McCormick is a very secure place. That won't be a problem. The problem will be traffic. When Obama comes here, he shuts this city down. Last time, they went down Lake Shore Drive right under my window. 45 -- not exaggerating -- 45 black Cadillac Escalades surrounded him. LSD totally shut down for at least 90 minutes.

McCormick Place in on LSD. They will take him right there. There is even a secured underground entrance -- drive him right into the building.

These nitwits are typical of the one trick ponies in every big city in the U.S.

99% of their problems are due to negro infestations and they continually.... repeat... continually blame the problems on inanimate objects... guns.

If by some feat of magic... Rahm could snap his fingers... and 100% of the firearms in Cook County were to magically disappear.... (forever)

not a damn thing would change.

The damned feral negros would continue the killing of each other and any others they could manage with wine bottles, tire tools, fists or any other means readily available.

Until these tiptoeing SOBs recognize the problem and eliminate the problem they will continue to have the problem.

All the air freshener in the world won't help when you have a huge pile of s*** in your living room.

The progressive marxists responsible for this tragic situation aren't clueless as to the source of the violence in any way.

We are watching progressive marxist social engineering with shitcago being the unfortunate victims.

rahm and 0 and his just us dept are the same crew that tried to use Fast and Furious Mexico version the same exact way.

The same exact playbook is being used in shitcago.

This is all Fast and Furious shitcago version.

The Trump administration should approach South Chicago like the war zone it is. Think about it. Over 4k shootings this year alone. Nearly 800 dead. It's like Iraq, and this is inside one of America's largest cites. Unacceptable, period. The Government should provide a Safe Zone, getting those who are trapped out of the area.Vette them properly allowing for the good people who are stuck an avenue to escape. Keep the scumbags there, and bring in the army or even special forces to clean it up, taking no prisoners. Once control is back in place, the good people can return and begin to rebuild their neighborhoods. It's the only way, it's already gone to far, and let it go unchecked it will only spread to the rest of the area.

The idea of simply building a wall and letting them all kill each other is not realistic.

Chicago is not a zoo. When we consider it one, we cannot come to a reasonable resolution. Chicago is a military combat zone -- a "hot zone." In order to solve the problem, we need to remove civil police and replace them with armed soldiers who can engage in military combat. A war zone demands soldiers. That is one of the purposes of the National Guard. They should be employed to restore order -- including implementing and maintaining "no go zones," curfews, and other wartime procedures. I'm here. I know what we are living with.

Go ride the red line past the Chinatown exit going south. You will not believe that goes on inside that train. Sex, selling/buying drugs, exposed guns, hold-ups, you Name it. And, every train car has at least two cameras in it.

I disagree, TT. They are already killing each other with abandon and the walls are already there. All that would have to be done is to secure those noise reduction walls that line the highways. The containment area could be "relocated" as was needed by simply securing another wall.

One of the main problems is the economic collapse in the Midwest. Here in Indiana, we had good paying factory jobs in both major urban centers and in smaller towns/cities. Those jobs are basically gone. Those in the city, for the most part, survived as there were other jobs available. While the pay went way down, many of these folks purchased decent homes for around $70K so the mortgages weren't horrible. It has always seemed to me that just as black people were making inroads into a more middle class lifestyle by getting these better jobs, the entire thing collapsed around them. Maybe I'm off, as I wasn't old enough back then to really remember the details.

Right now, there is no where for poor blacks or whites to go. Our rural areas here in Indiana are starting to become just as bad as the minority heavy urban areas. Shootings, killings, multiple victim killings, and most of it is drug related. I'm seeing the same issues black folks have been dealing with starting to really affect the lower middle class and working poor whites. Every so often a middle to upper class kid gets caught up in drugs and ODs.

One thing I have noticed, which is a very touchy subject for some, is that usually those who get out and go to college and stay in college are the black females. The black male retention rate isn't all that great from what I read at one school. However, the women seem to do a lot better. One thing some have blogged about is that these successful young black women should consider dating and marrying white men. This is a very debated topic and it has even happened in my own family. There are some good young black women out there who are struggling to find "Mr. Right," yet I've read that they hesitate to date outside their race as one starts to get called a traitor. All the while, the black men don't get as harsh of treatment when they do this. I can say, one way to secure a better future for one's self is to definitely not marry down. This means down in terms of income for the most part, but can also include other things like attitude, how good of a parent one would make, etc..

The Tribune chronicled two key measures that appeared to show cops scaled back on their interaction with the public. Arrests, which have generally been on the decline in recent years, dropped sharply through Dec. 25 to 84,644, a 24 percent decrease from 111,499 a year earlier and the fewest in at least five years, according to official police statistics.

Over that same period, street stops — in which officers stop people on foot and document the interaction — have plunged to 106,570, down 82 percent from 599,590 a year earlier. Officers complain a longer, time-consuming form that police must fill out for each stop has played a significant part in the drop.

However, the draft U. of C. study released Thursday questioned whether Chicago's decline in street stops and arrests truly could be a driving factor of violence, noting that when New York's stops dropped in recent years, homicides did not dramatically increase.

The decline in "street stops" likely had a significant impact to some extent. Street stops are nothing more than cops getting into someone's business who they haven't witnessed do anything wrong. If there is reasonable suspicion of a crime, cops have always had the ability to forcefully detain a person while they investigate. With these stops, and this includes 'stop and frisk', those cops who enjoyed getting into someone else's business would interject themselves into that person's life for no reason at all. There were claims they are consensual, but sometimes it is a small group of armed police who are throwing out request such as "Can I see some ID?" or "Can I pat you down?" In some cases, some cops have been went over the line, basically using their tone, body posture, etc. to make it sure appear as if one isn't free to leave. Some even have went further, frisking people without consent.

I watched the recent 60 minutes broadcast, and they put a lot of the increase in killings on the fact that these so-called consensual interactions are way down. All this means is that the guy who has an open warrant and shoots someone next week likely won't be picked up on the warrant by the beat cops this week. People can't have it both ways. You can't decry the practice of getting into people's business when they have done nothing wrong but then want cops to get dangerous people and illegal guns off the street like they were before. After everything that has happened in this country there was likely a large number of police officers who are just switching to being report takers anyway. I do believe that many will still stop someone they see either committing a crime or likely taking active steps toward that (ie: Looking into the business window from a dark alley way).

Right now people are penalized 15% plus for making more than $401 dollars a year in income. Heck on government safety nets one can make over the official poverty rates ($10k year +-) and not pay a dime in income taxes. This is a huge problem and punishes the independent. IMHO, It breeds criminal activities.

Money isn't the only solution or even one of the main ones.

1. Children born to unmarried mothers have a much, much worse time in life. That right there is a huge part of the problem, 80% or so of black children illegitimate. No father in the home.

2. Lack of religion in their lives.

3. Rotten to the core education, especially racist indoctrination "I am Black - I am Proud - BLM, Hate whitey, hate cops" etcetc.

4. AFDC and other welfare so mothers feel free to have kids without marriage and get paid for it.

5. Fewer good jobs that people can do without a college degree. Need to be more jobs that a high school education is sufficient.

6. No death penalty, anyone who murders should be executed, along with some other crimes. And not after 30 years.

The core of the problem is Rahm. Chicago has a violence problem. It needs an aggressive police force that is able to push the edge when that needs to happen. When the CPD does that and something goes wrong (which if will) then Rahm backs off and lets the cops take the hit for their actions. Face it, this is not a normal policing situation. This is a combat zone. Different tactics must be used to diffuse violence.

When the police find that they are not backed up by their mayor, they simply shut down. The average response time for a domestic violence call in Chicago, for example, is between 20 and 30 minutes. Whatever incident will be over by then. The same is true for other potentially violent calls.

The Chicago police have become report writers and picture takers. They don't "police" any more.

It is time to do two things: 1) Dismiss Rahm as the mayor ASAP; and, 2) remove the Chicago police department from the streets until such a time that they are retrained in military style combat techniques -- this is a combat zone. Until then, the Illinois National Guard needs to take control of the situation in Chicago.

A co-worker had scores of gunshots outside her apartment the other night at 2 am. She said it sounded like a gun battle between two groups. She called the CPD. It was 42 minutes before they drove through the 'hood. Didn't even stop. This has to go soon. The violence is beginning to spread outside of the traditional gang neighborhoods. Their was a murder in my neighborhood a few months ago -- the third richest neighborhood in Chicago. The governor lives less than a quarter mile from the murder which happened for no apparent reason in the middle of the day.

Chicago needs the National Guard. The situation has diminished to the point when normal police units can't handle it. There are a number of cops on CPD suffering from PTSD because they have not been trained nor are they equipped to deal with hand-to-hand military urban assault situations. Furthermore, then don't have the support to do so.

Appreciate the comment from someone right there in it.

Wasn't there an article saying that the murders and violence were caused by 1,300 or 1,400 people.............if so shouldn't be difficult to track down those responsible.........

I think another problem is population decline, all the good people are leaving............

Metra/South Shore have a stop there underground at McCormick place too. No not his safety but rather the city itself. Tickets are first come first serve distributed Jan 7th. Its the post tailgate drama, the inevitable rancor and bitterness over a failed admin manifesting as domestic squalls later that night. And the requisite dope dealing rivalry to secure party favors in advance, because POTUS is in town. The CTA was always absolute misery when he was back and forth to O'Hare. Paranoid train engineers braking too hard, barking mad agents and maintenance crews. I'll pray for very cold air to stifle gang lunacy.
