Chicago Won't Respond to 911 Calls

The Chicago Tribune reports that officers of the Chicago Police Department will no longer be dispatched to handle less dangerous crimes. The measures went into effect on Sunday.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said that this dramatic shift would free up as many as 200 officers from compiling paperwork to being out on a beat.

McCarthy also said that unnecessary 911 calls – including reporting dogs barking and parents complaining their kids won’t eat their vegetables – are putting an unnecessary drain on the system.

He said that as it stands, Chicago officers respond to around 70 percent of 911 calls, as opposed to around 30 percent for other cities.

He said at a recent press conference: ‘I don’t mean to be flippant here, because I’ve been the victim of a burglary at least three or four times. I’d rather have the officer on the street, where he can prevent the shooting.’

The news comes as Chicago faces a violent crime epidemic, with nearly 50 homicides and 170 shootings already this year, and had 506 murders in 2012.

And..... Chicago has the most restricted gun controls in the country!

Plus this now:



Thread: Homeland Security to Patrol OUR Streets??? Hell, no!

I like how they refer to calls such as "burglaries, thefts, and simple assault" as non threatening..

City Attorney Tells San Bernardino Residents To ‘Lock Their Doors,’ ‘Load Their Guns’ Because Of Police Downsizing

SAN BERNARDINO (CBSLA.com) — The city attorney of San Bernardino is under scrutiny for telling residents to “lock their doors and load their guns” during a city council meeting.

The official explained that because the city is bankrupt and slashing public safety budgets people will need to start protecting themselves

Hola? I guess this isn't that important?

:bumps:

A link of Cops in NY just watching what happens and doing nothing.



WeAreChange recently got the opportunity to meet and Interview Joe Lozito, the selfless hero who put his life on the line to stop a serial killer. The story is only magnified when Joe finds out, that while being stabbed by the serial killer, the NYPD was standing by watching everything unfold from the safety of the conductors door. Currently in a legal suit, the NYPD and City of NY is arguing that the NYPD has NO duty to protect its own citizens.

I'm serious, if this doesn't get pinned and it's some good information for our future.

I feel I make good informative threads while - some threads that are foolish get pinned.


Maybe I'm one of the nerds here ? :(

for a pulse

Thx u for pin. Somebody likes me ? Thx the Good Lord!

The Chicago Police Department hopes to free up the equivalent of 44 officers a day by no longer dispatching cops for certain crimes, like burglaries and car thefts in which the offender is no longer at the scene and no one is in immediate danger.

This specific info. was posted on Sunday.

Chicago is going to be a hell of a mess!! Free gun zone + Police slacking = High crimes Gethoooo

we had 3 cars broken into one night in downtown cleveland. all in the same garage. they had no interest in it. never came out and I didn't bother going down to the station.

"Victims of ‘non-threatening’ crimes such as burglaries, thefts, and simple assault in Chicago will no longer be visited by officers when they call 911."


Since when is a burglary, theft or assault "non-threatening"!?

This gives a huge green light to criminals! Why anyone would choose to live in this hell hole is beyond me.

My concern was the link of San Bernardino cutting their police - Chicago now as well. I live in So. Calif.

Now that's only the ones they have found... there are numerous more.

But lets spend even more on mindless projects and social services for the parasites, right rahm?

wtf is this?! bazarro world?!

i am sooo glad i left this shithole city.

dont people pay tax on their phone bills for 911?

Good. The armed will survive; the unarmed? Not.

"burglaries, thefts, and simple assault"
CRAZY this is common/natural law that they aren't enforcing.

Unbelievable! Thank you OP

I was living in West L.A. (great place, love it) and a guy tried to attack me with a sledgehammer(!) in my alley. Silly boy, didn't work. Then he opened his trunk and pulled out an AK with a 72 round drum (I think it was close to unloaded because the gun looked light in his hand) and pointed it at me. I kept trying to get closer to him to take it away and my ex-wife (love her too) called 911. He decided to take off. Two cops showed up in my garage 45 MINUTES LATER, of course completely in charge of everything.

I was building a cedar chest and covered in sawdust, tools around and on me and the one cop asked "what are YOU doing here?" I said "you're not going for detective, are you?". That didn't go over too well, but his friend laughed at him so he was stopped from what looked like hitting me. (I had a chisel hidden in my hand just in case). You just don't know who to trust anymore.

Lesson; Be aware that you're the only person you can count on to save your skin when you're in trouble.

martial law next.
