Archives For letter from a chicago cop

Colin,

The animals are running the asylum.

Don’t be offended when I say animals because some of these kids are killers!!  These kids come
from no foundation with zero role models.  They glorify rappers.

A recent article was written about a Black Female student who was known as an “assassin”.  She later died from a shooting.   Most of these shooters in the inner city of Chicago are 13-18.

These kids fear NOTHING.

If I lock a Chicago Public School (CPS) Student up for a gun, it’s lowered to a misdemeanor when we go to court.  This shows the kid he can get away with it.  How do you think it makes a Cop?

Especially when the Liberal judge tells the juvenile to write a 500 word essay on BLACK History.

Most families believe that all white CPD officers are racist.  I know firsthand because they’ll tell you.   The predominately BLACK students from Public Schools in Chicago can’t even speak English. I’ve interviewed hundreds of kids and have to ask them to speak slowly because they proudly speak Ebonics.  They just don’t care.  They use the excuse of being slow.  They are taught this because their single parent mother gets money for having a kid that’s mentally challenged.

UNREAL.

The problem is not going to end.

Ex. At numerous public schools, Kids pulls the fire alarm weekly so that they can leave school while Police and Fire go through the school checking for any fires.

It is at this moment, they sneak in their contraband, ie, drugs, knives and guns.   They all walk back into school In large groups bypassing the metal detectors.

Hyde Park High School located at 6200 S. Stony Island in President Obama’s backyard on the South Side of Chicago has:
1. Off duty police (working days off)
2. On duty police (school unit)
3 Gang Unit Officers
4. Tactical Unit Officers
That’s four (4) different Police units working to “babysit” / patrol these kids because of So Many fights.

When there is a fight, NO kid would dare help out the officer.

Don’t believe me? Google any high school fight, ever see a student come to the officers aid?  Exactly

Officers are getting tired of locking Public school kids up…. Why?

Nothing happens when they get locked up. Charges are usually dropped by states attorney or judge. Makes an officer very cynical.

The Chicago Public schools are changing their policies on punishment too!! Don’t believe me, look it up.

Hell, some schools won’t let you use the word “Punishment” because it has a Negative connotation.

Kids entice officers to confront them everyday.   They”ll rap in front of you saying… “Fuck The Police” and then say.. What?!?!   I didn’t do anything.   I was just singing a song.

Ex. Kids running wild after dismissal and run right into the street causing cars to swerve.

They don’t feel that they should be locked up for reckless conduct.

They NEVER think about their actions and the ramifications of their actions.

Veteran Officers used to want to work in the school units, not now.

There are fights with kids.

There are fights with teachers.

They threaten staff and wonder why they are being locked up.

A chicago police officer working in a school unit recently told me that 80 girls from one school were pregnant by the middle of the year.

Chicago continues pouring millions into failed programs like:
After school matters.
Mentoring programs
Midnight basket ball games.

Fed up and underpaid babysitter.
Love your book Colin.

God Bless.
