Charles Thomas Knows

This weekend was a violent one in Chicago and at the writing of this post 12 were reported dead. Charles Thomas of ABC7 correlates this spike in violence as a result of the funding cuts at Cease Fire.
The larger than usual number of homicides was counted on the first weekend following the layoffs of about 125 outreach workers for CeaseFire. A $6.2 million cut in the new Illinois state budget left CeaseFire without adequate funding to keep those workers.

"What would have happened if we could have had our violence interrupters out there?" said Rev. Robin Hood. "This program needs to get back started tonight."

The sad thing is the general public buys this nonsense.

Ceasfire is another waste of taxpayer money.Take the 6.2 million and buy CPD officers some decent comm gear and batteries that work.

Neologism - Violence interrupters

Are those 220 or 120? Fuse or circuit breakers? Do they have European adaptors?

People, we should know!

Donut Shop Owner Allegedly Snubs Military Members

CBS 2 Northwest Indiana Bureau Chief Pamela Jones reports it all started with an alleged slap against men and women in uniform at a Dunkin’ Donuts.

The rumor was forwarded through an email tagged as if it came from an employee at Crown Point High School.

The message says a school secretary has a nephew who went to the Dunkin' Donuts on Main Street for coffee and was refused service because he's in the military.

The email claims the owner of the store said, “You are killing my countrymen and I will not serve you.”


THIS COUNTRY IS ON THE ROAD TO PERDITION,WE MUST STOP THIS POLITICALLY CORRECT LIBERALISM THAT IS THE CANCER DESTROYING THE USA.


THE DUNKIN DONUT CORPORATION NEEDS TO IMMEDIATELY PULL THIS AMERICAN HATER'S FRANCHISE.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!!!

I'd like to propose a new operation starting in 2008.It is called "Operation You Break It You Bought It"

This is a response to the repeated media manipulation by our Aldercreatures & Community "Activists"

It is in reality is a very simple proposition,if you make a point of blaming people who are there to help you.The added resources to which you are allocated will be removed to wards that ask for them.

Personally winable battles could be staged in appreciative settings that could impact the surrounding community.

Alderman denied their voice would have a public forum to express their displeasure to the police brass,who'd have to justify taxpayers entitlements provided to disinterested hostile environments.

ITS JUST THE RIGHT THING TO DO,LETS STOP PUMPIMG OUR BLOOD INTO A DEAD PATIENT,LET'S REWARD CIVILITY.

What happens when 22,9, or 16 fall.Which is what we are allowing to happen.

Ceasefire is just another welfare program handout. The thugs and gang members get the benefits along with the holy men of the community. Cut every fucking dime of the funding.

How many computers for the patrol cars could CPD buy with 6.2 million.This is(ceasefire) absolute waste of taxpayer money,no wonder the budget is always screwed.

What other BS programs are out there that could go to fund the police??

Ive seen Thomas on Ch. 11 w/Ponce, where he speaks his mind. He's NOT an
unbiased reporter. He's pro-ghetto, and thinks the Police get away w/too much! Be very careful of him........

Please keep in mind that this is an open blog
that can and is read by people other than Chicago Police Officers.
