Chicago, IL—At first I was laughing at the Pictures but then I figured I should be crying about them.
Chicago has replaced taxation with extortion as they have bled business and homeowners dry to reward crooked contractors with millions for absolute crap Chicago does not need.
The city has installed surveillance cameras all over, but apparently there’s nobody to watch the monitors. Perhaps that’s not entirely true because some genius in the administration thought the homeless including felons could be put to service watching the monitors.
Remember this is the city that violates the rights of its law abiding citizens to keep and bear arms for needed self-defense. This is in the state that is letting violent criminals out of prison early. This is where the police department is badly undermanned, outgunned and profoundly demoralized.
Chicago, IL—Despite claims that crime is down, there is more blood on Chicago’s streets than ever. Two cops are dead tonight as the city mourns yet again.
One Chicago police officer was collecting evidence at a garage burglary scene as the victim, a retired CHA police officer looked on. Little is known other than the two officers were ambushed and murdered and the African-American suspects fled in a Cadillac Escalade.
The Superintendent of police Jody "J-Fled" Weis was just proclaiming that crime was down again as another cop was found murdered in his personal SUV. I guess the rivers of blood flowing tell a different story.
The good news is they will be hiring and training 200 hundred recruits in the police academy to replace many more hundreds of seasoned officers that have already retired.
It’s well past the time that J-Fled should resign. The city is a bloody mess that way out-of-control. The early release of hundreds of dangerous felons by the governor has stimulated the funeral industry in a big way.
There will be at least for more children growing up without their father because of Governor Pat Quinn.
Update: the Chicago police officer murdered is identified as 46-year-old Michael Flisk, who was assigned as an evidence technician. Flisk was a 20-year member of the department who left a wife and four children, and three siblings on the force.
Chicago, IL—Mayor Daley’s appointee to the position of police superintendent, Jody "J-Fled" Weis was an utter disaster for public safety in Chicago. The former FBI agent with an inflated salary and ego never belonged in that position. Weis has accomplished nothing except the alienation of officers already demoralized, depressed, outgunned, and undermanned along with being underpaid.
Despite his wearing the coveted Chicago police uniform, Weis has never been a cop and is nothing more than a lap dog for the corrupt reverends and politicians in control of the city. Weis’ attempt at spinning crime statistics and Chicago’s bloody summers into some illusion of public safety progress has been an abject failure.
It’s very simple Chicagoan’s tax dollars have been distributed to criminals and political whores as the police department has been run into the ground with deprivation. The manpower shortages have resulted in surrendering the streets to emboldened thugs. The police are simply sent in to clean the brains of the victims off the streets and generate meaningless paper reports.
Thugs will never be deterred through negotiation and kind words. As Al Capone once said, “You can get a lot more with a kind word and a gun, than a kind word alone.” The Chicago Police Department has lost any relevance and or meaningful concern to Chicago’s street thugs.
Weis actually made a shameful public display of cowardice when during a live CBS2 interview, shots rang out and Weis said. “Sorry, I gotta run!” as he disappeared from the scene. Any real cop would have seen to the news crew’s safety, and responded to the scene with gun in hand until enough officers were present. This was no simple case of shots being fired but an actual homicide that remains unsolved today.
Weis said he leave the department if he did not have the support of the rank and file cops. A morale survey of cops was completed and the results were quickly locked in a vault never to see the light of day. Hundreds of cops have demanded the resignation of Weis as they publically demonstrated in an unprecedented action that was downright humiliating. Weis has only dug his heels in deeper.
Weis is now exacting revenge as he smears all Chicago cops with non-newsworthy press conferences. Weis has twice alerted the news media to cover “important” press conferences. First he announced a sergeant has been stripped of his gun and powers because he’s under investigation. Weis refused to name him which guaranteed yet another press conference for that revelation. On Monday Weis did it again revealing that six more officers were stripped and sent to the call-back Gulag, again revealing no names. Now he can hold two more press conferences, one to name them and another to reveal the allegations.
Weis is making sure that the accused officers can never get a fair hearing by tainting public opinion. Certainly Weis could have made a single announcement of the ongoing investigation of allegations. Instead Weis has deliberately and clumsily turned this story into a salacious soap opera.
Frankly, Jody Weis is truly despicable and every Chicago police officer should simply turn their backs on this despot whenever they are in his presence. Here is the famous “I gotta run” clip.
