Help Wanted: Do you want to work nights, weekends, and holidays? Do you want to freeze your posterior off in the winter and roast alive in the summer? How about working 12-hour shifts for days and weeks on end?

Are you interested? Wait, there’s more! Have you always wanted a job where your days off and vacations are canceled with little notice, leaving you holding the bag for airline and cruise tickets that can’t be refunded? How about being moved from one area of the city to another with even less notice? Would you be pleased with working for four years without a contract?

Where do I sign up, you ask. But there’s still more! Do you want to make split-second decisions at the risk of life and limb, only to have those decisions endlessly second-guessed by incompetent supervisors and dimwitted politicians? Do you want to live in a city rotting under the effects of out-of-control crime, and while living there (because you have to) be blamed for the crime by those same incompetent supervisors and dimwitted politicians?

If all of that sounds appealing, then step right up for a position with the Chicago Police Department!

One-Month-Old Shot in Chicago’s Third Mass Shooting This Week

Brittany Bernstein

July 2, 2021

A one-month-old girl and six other people were shot in Chicago on Thursday night, just days after two mass shootings killed two women and injured 15 other people in the city.

Three gunmen exited from a black Jeep Cherokee and “began shooting in several directions” on Thursday night in the city’s Englewood neighborhood. The men then got back into the car and sped off, according to police.

The baby was shot in the head and taken to St. Bernard Hospital in critical condition before being transferred to Comer Children’s Hospital, police said, according to the Chicago Sun Times. The baby was strapped into a car seat when she was shot.

Also figuring into the equation is the number of police officers who have become "ROAD" (Retired On Active Duty). 

 

As with the situation in Baltimore after Freddy Gray, they stay in the squad car, only respond to dispatch calls, turn a blind eye to "quality of life" crimes, and generally stay as far away from confrontations with criminals as they can.  Surviving the last few years till pension eligible takes priority over "Protect and Serve".

Can you blame them?
