Chicago Police Changing Response Plan For Some 911 Calls
CHICAGO (CBS) – Starting this week, Chicago police are changing their responses to 911 calls. They’ll no longer come right away to reports of things like criminal damage to property, vehicle thefts, garage burglaries, or other crimes in which the suspect is no longer on the scene, and the victim isn’t in immediate danger.
The move will free up the equivalent of 44 police officers a day for patrol duties.
CBS 2′s Jim Williams spoke to some Chicagoans who think it’s the wrong move for the police.
On the block where burglars broke into a home on Christmas Day, Carmen Curio has a strong opinion on the city’s new 911 response plan.
“I think that’s ridiculous. I think if there’s a burglary, they’ve got to come. It’s what we pay for. They have to come,” she said.
Ald. Nick Sposato (36th) said the constituents in his Northwest Side ward pay high property taxes, so it’s not asking too much for a police visit after a traumatic break-in.
“People are upset; they want to talk to a police officer. They want to know something is being done to prevent this in the future,” sposato said.
Police Supt. Garry McCarthy insisted crime prevention “in the future” happens when officers are on patrol, not tied up taking reports at the scene of non-violent incidents.
“I don’t mean to be flippant here, because I’ve been the victim of a burglary at least three or four times,” he said. “I’d rather have the officer on street, where he can prevent the shooting.”
Police said they will still respond to 911 burglary calls if the suspect is at the scene, or they’re if convinced the criminal can be arrested right away.
“You’re upset; you’re violated. It’s happened to me. So, you’ve got to weigh it, and I’m making tough decisions,” McCarthy said. “I’m making a tough decision, but I’d rather have that officer on the street, doing something to prevent the next shooting than – honestly – making somebody feel better, because they’re responding rather than talking to them over the phone.”
He’s making those decisions because of the city’s financial woes.

WTF does the Infowhore video do besides further prove he's a lunatic? He may as well proclaim "I'm the queen of England" at the same time he claims to have "won" the "debate". Both are about as factual...Originally posted by conmee

I hope Pierce Morgan enjoys his 15 minutes of fame being the flavor of the week gun control guru. The dude had to leave the UK because of his shitty ethics and being fingered for knowing about Rupert Murdoch's phone tapping scandal there. He's trying to be the big liberal media guru here riding this little gun control gimmick. The scumbag Pierce Morgan is using Sandy Hook to try and further his career and I find it quite repulsive. A man ran out of his own country due to his poor ethics and now he's here polluting our air waves. Hey Pierce, your ratings overall suck. Why don't you go to Australia and try and be the big man there.
No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

Piers is the best shit to ever happen to Jones and his paranoid mutterings. Media whoring as its worst. As for Ted, what an utter cowardly cunt playing the "bad guy" card to further his small penis agenda.Comment

Obama is a idiot that is plain and simple a joke as a president.
Magazine limits...bullets create murder...is just as silly as him being the dupe weapon our government used to murder Bin Laden.
Obama is murder.
He is an raging asshole who is simply initiating a ticket writing policy for gun owners, jail time for traffic tickets is a abortion of justice and the laws are written to complete a bussiness transaction between the city council and your wallet.
I wonder what would happen is someone threw dynamite at crowds of people ..? Hey look this guy over here owns a civil war cannon lets take it from him if he doesn't pay the traffic ticket.
Well then we should profile all mid-easterners because they all are guns and thier bullets are dynamite vests, aimed at us.
Any law written to limit firearms is a slash at constitutional rights and it also deprives individual liberties and freedoms from the citizens and will soon escallate to the jail time money rape of wallets.
Just remmeber folks justice has become a bussiness and laws are written to buy new pool filters for that cunt on the city council desk and the city prosecutor.
Obamas assinine retardation is somewhat like a head in the sand attitude that guns and the amount you can reload and the speed you can reload is the answer to his horrible innability to govern.
He was the tool we used to murder Osama...he served no other purpose.2015 once smoke 2 smoke ...poke

When Obama care passed ( example of overburdening and taking a income producing bussiness away from individuals and making it government owned, commynizm) and over 51% of the employed in this country are sallaried by the 49% who pay taxes and these scenarios increase our government increases the burden on the 49% they want us to be unnarmed.
They will pollute the constitution to the point we will be as the revolting citizens in Egypt and Syria and Libya.
You see folks,... everyone wants to do thier job so politicos want to pass legislation they don't care about the outcome they care about thier job .
The all think they are drafters of great things and they are mostly fools who failed getting a shot at hollywood and now seek attention in sad ways.
I believe we should all fear what is taking place and if you all think we won't rise up against our government ............that is what they fear most...they want to take away our say in life.
Keep an eye out for the train to Auschwitz it starts at the junction of legislating freedom and unjust laws, are YOU all aboard that train like a fool.
Weekend jailtime for speeding to many times... just a simple litte camp around the corner.... for those nasty little je* I mean gun owners... cause they murder alot...........shhhhhhhhhhhhh...footsteps .......that knock on the door..........shhhhhhhhhhh....It's just a weekend camp .............yes we have to take your whole family because you have a gun in your basement...you won't need and suitcases we provide everything at this camp.
First they wrote laws to limit the availabilty of guns then they wrote laws to fine gun owners then they took all the guns...then they gave free train rides......shhhhh...footsteps tiny little ones off in the distance...getting closer.Last edited by clarathecarrot; 02-05-2013, 02:07 PM.2015 once smoke 2 smoke ...poke
