He blames it on culture, i.e. what they believe and what we believe are as different as night and day. I'm thinking Chicago and most other big cities have a similar problem with their problem children.Chuck Pergielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14473338620167201696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-63773623767948002982015-12-11T20:25:33.169-06:002015-12-11T20:25:33.169-06:00The two instances I'm aware of when the cops w...The two instances I'm aware of when the cops went away for some reason (Phoenix (?) Arizona in the '70s(?) strike and in Josephine County OR in the early 2000's they went on a major slow-down (nobody at all in the office to even answer the phone midnight - 8 AM)to protest funding) the violent crime rates fell precipitously. <br /><br />The citizenry knew they were on their own, proceeded to lock and load accordingly, and the would-be criminals found it within themselves to correctly add 2+2, deciding it would be a spectacularly good time to keep a low profile. In both cases empowered people led to a "rethink" by the associated uniforms, and more than a few personnel changes.Rp;fhttp://www.thestarscameback.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-75247779545055722972015-12-11T17:50:08.496-06:002015-12-11T17:50:08.496-06:00I don't think Peel's idea of policing can ...I don't think Peel's idea of policing can exist in corrupt city. Every institution run by the city and county are corrupt. Federal attempts at clean up have been mostly PR exercises. <br />I think the only answer will come as city and state are bankrupt. There will be massive layoffs, and end of the current contracts for employees and contractors. That may provide a window for improvement, or it may give final push for honest business to leave the state.

T'were not too long ago that NYPD went on semi-strike, and refused to do anything about anything but "serious" (read: <i>malum in se</i>, not <i>malum prohibitum</i>) crimes.<br /><br />Murders, rapes, robberies should absolutely be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

The CPD has been a corrupt and protected special class forever. They love the free meals, the ability to hassle anyone who doesn't kowtow, the ability to go armed. Now they are targets for retribution and all they can do is whine. <br /><br />"Stop working" "slow down" "stay fetal" "more than your job's worth" "work to rule" "don't do any revenue generation" "no proactive" "no special teams" <br /><br />Holy crap.

I doubt the mayor is really willing to do what is necessary to facilitate real change - like many politician, instead of doing the hard work to separate the wheat from the chaff, he will likely oversimplify and paint every officer with a broad brush. Since there are so many officers who are corrupt, brutal, or incompetent, the good officers will be swept up with them - at this point, I'm not certain how or why a good officer would still be working the tough, thankless job that is being a Chicago PD officer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-13411504061646076612015-12-10T22:13:42.158-06:002015-12-10T22:13:42.158-06:00Thankfully, I no longer have to travel to Chicago ...Thankfully, I no longer have to travel to Chicago on business.
