I would immediately be suspicious if any cop from the 16th showed up at my door. I haven't seen a cop in a few years. I didn't think the city manned this part of town with cops. If and when you see a cop in the 16th send out an email blast with the date and time - so we can mark our calendars.
ReplyDeleteI see men fitting these descriptions riding up and down the alleys and streets all day long in vans, trucks. I have no idea what they are doing here and I have never once seen any of them pulled over by a cop. Its like everyone just accepts that these people drive up and down the blocks all day long. I think everyone should call on everyone of these vans, trucks. Lets find out who these people are.
ReplyDeleteThe last time I saw a cop was on tv driving Rahm around
ReplyDeleteI can't remember the last time I saw a cop in the neighborhood. If someone showed up at the door saying they were a cop, I would know instantly they were fakes.
ReplyDeleteI'm a frequent customer at Dunkin Donuts at Foster-Nagle-Higgins. It used to be that the full was full of cops, coming and going at all hours. Now I haven't seen any in months. Must be pretty bad if they can't stop in for their free donuts and coffee. The last time I saw an amount of cops was when they were driving around Ed Burke, former mayor Daley and his family and friends.
ReplyDeleteSo all we can hope for in this neighborhood is a fake cop? and a fake cop we disn't even call?
ReplyDeleteAt least some cops are showing up in this neighborhood even if they're not real. Perhaps I can call them when I can't get ahold of a real one. Like the 10 times I've already called 311 and 911 to report my nieghbor on the 6600 block of west Foster who has had a front yard sale EVERY friday, saturday and sunday since June without a permit and selling smelly, stinky dangerous chemicals. Also called Alderman O'Connors office and they haven't done anything either.
