Article on the Chicago police blog “Second City Cop” below about the Democratic Convention here next week. Looks like it’s going to be a disaster. This is why nobody wants to be a cop anymore in cites like Chicago. Fat chance of it ever getting any better.

Interesting Rumors.

The comments are alive with a number of rumors:

* Smart officers are hitting the medical. 1500 as of this morning. (seems like an awfully high number - who has the actual manpower?)

* District Commanders were instructed by Larry not to list white shirts who hit the medical on their watch sheets. Doing so would encourage blue shirts to hit the medical as well. (well who would want to stick around when your leaders aren't sticking around?)

* The bosses are now running around like pissed-on chickens. The issued gas masks ran out weeks ago. The Feds and National Guard are preparing to sit this out and hide. If this DNC goes down without dozens of CPD getting seriously hurt it will be a miracle. (the equipment issue should have been addressed the day after they announced Chicago was hosting - update helmets, eye wear, everything.)

* You heard it here first … the powers that be have decided that [COPA] going to put up 13 tents around the UC and those tents will be accepting complaints against the police. Fuck this city , fuck the Dems , do not jeopardize your job for anyone. (sadly, very believable - don't get trick-bagged)

And after the pro-pali protestors stormed the Harris-Walz meeting in New York yesterday, does anyone think Chicago is going to escape any sort of similar demostration?
