@Will51812643 @ChicagoContrar1 You know absolutely nothing. Tower basket is much better for making window rescues, among many other things.

@ChicagoContrar1 If a tower was the piece that was desperately needed, they had already lost the fire building. The only thing a tower is better for than a straight stick is surround and drown.

Here is something with which all Chicago residents should be racked by anxiety. Yesterday, as CFD battled a fire at 74th and Yates in South Shore, the Battalion Chief declared an extra alarm and requested a tower ladder. Woefully, the closest tower ladder available across the entire city was located at Grace and Damen. This ladder traveled 156 blocks — some TWENTY MILES — to respond to the extra alarm. This is an utter outrage. Of the ten tower ladders in Chicago, 5, 10, 16, 24, 39, and 54, all are out of service. At the moment, only four tower ladders are in service, TLs 14, 21, 23, and 63, all of which are stationed on the North and West Sides of the city. This leaves the whole of the South Side of Chicago —which unfortunately experiences a higher number of fires — without sufficient equipment to fight large-scale fires. This shortage of equipment is inexcusable and undeniably imperils residents whose taxes pay for fire protection. This equipment shortage also creates dangerous conditions for CFD called on to fight fires. So, now that you know, @ChicagosMayor, are you going to do something about this?

@WestLoopTom @sullyhome Yes harasses should be in shape. Case by case basis. Like the one I just mentioned. And no it's not cheaper to have some retire and hire new.

@MikeyHamcheck @sullyhome There has to be a better way to keep them in shape and do the job we pay them to do and they agreed to do when they took the job. That’s how it works for the rest of us. Wouldn’t it be better to hire new better performers at lower salaries? Desk duty cops don’t make us safer.

Too many on desk duty.

@WestLoopTom @sullyhome Yes some would. Some have legitimate injuries that were either on duty, off duty or from illness. Ie officer had a stroke at 55 and can't really do the job anymore but wants a few years of desk duty to reach his retirement. If you forced him out he would retire and start drawing

@MikeyHamcheck @sullyhome There are many on desk duty and yes they should be on the street. Are you saying they’d fraudulently make up a disability? What should we do with fat 45 year old and under cops you can do their jobs well?

@WestLoopTom @sullyhome Forcing them off the job would be more expensive than just letting the few old timers do desk jobs. You would see many go on some sort of disability. They already have mandatory retirement at 63. Can desk positions be cut and some sent to street yes

@MikeyHamcheck @sullyhome Some. I know lots of people that age who are in great shape and not obese. They could always retire if they can’t do the job we pay them to do.

@WestLoopTom @sullyhome Do you think a 60 year old cop can do foot chases?

@sullyhome It’s crazy they have to pass physical fitness tests to join but after that nobody cares.

@mutd_chris @DePaulAthletics @NickPalazzolo5 Not trying to bait, just pointing out they laid off lots of staff while spending so much on athletics.

@MikeyHamcheck @DePaulAthletics @NickPalazzolo5 nobody is falling for your ragebait

Your mark. Their future. 🔵 Support the new athletics practice facility by naming a locker and investing in the next generation of Blue Demons.

@RaymondALopez @ChicagoCityLaw Introduce an ordinance banning corp counsel from out sourcing to any Chicago/illinois based law firm.

Seriously - @ChicagoCityLaw got on average 8.08% in raises in FY2026 totaling $1,644,523 while paying millions per incident on outside lawyers! Taxpayers deserve their money back!

@HeatherCherone Heather - we are on totally opposite opinions on everything. However I think we can agree that the city paying all these law firms millions needs to be investigated.

Chicago taxpayers paid two law firms $2 million between June 2022 and December 2025 to defend the lawsuit filed by the teen's parents, according to documents obtained by WTTW News.

@HeatherCherone @wttw Heather - no one cares

NEW: A required system designed to alert officials about which officers have been the subject of repeated police misconduct allegations will not be ready to launch until at least 2027, according to records obtained by @wttw news news.wttw.com/2026/03/25/sys…

@HeatherCherone @wttw Says right there in the article the guy had a GUN. Great job officers getting a weapon off the streets!

NEW: A Chicago police officer repeatedly accused of improperly stopping and searching Black men downtown was again suspended after a ruling by a member of the Chicago Police Board that rejected objections from Chicago Police Supt. Larry Snelling. @wttw news.wttw.com/2026/03/24/cpd…

@TheDePaud That is certainly....a list of "accomplishments"

BREAKING: DePaul Athletic Director DeWayne Peevy has signed a multi year contract extension that will keep him in Lincoln Park for the foreseeable future, a source tells The DePaud. Amongst the accomplishments in his tenure are: Increase Revenue Growth and Fan Engagement Delivery of facility improvement project for the Sullivan Athletic Center and McGrath-Phillips Arena that gave team specific locker rooms to all varsity sports Approval for the Athletics Funded New Practice Facility Development of a refresh of the DePaul Branding including sport specific refresh of Billy Blue Demon

@HeatherCherone @wttw Another day another Heather Cherone hit job on the police.

NEW: Chicago taxpayers have paid more than $1.76 million to defend the Chicago police officer who shot a 13-year-old boy in May 2022, leaving him permanently paralyzed, according to documents obtained by @wttw news.wttw.com/2026/03/23/chi…

@NickPalazzolo5 @TheDePaud @BlueDemonMedia Why

BREAKING: DePaul has agreed to a multi-year contract extension with athletic director DeWayne Peevy, sources tell @TheDePaud @BlueDemonMedia. DePaul moved in recent weeks to secure him long term, with Peevy having one year remaining after this school year. #ScoMons

@chicagobars The other option being...a residential side street?

Does a big electrical substation really need to go front of parcel on an arterial commercial street? Should be assessed at commercial or mixed use level and not industrial if it does, huge waste of valuable real estate on Diversey if substation is only use there. 🤷‍♂️💸

@WGNMorningNews This is because progressives have allowed public transit to become a homeless shelter/drug den.

@HeatherCherone @wttw Heather we all have to give you credit for how many woke Anti CPD articles you can churn out week after week. Truly you have a love of the game.

FULL STORY: The Chicago police officer who grabbed and pushed a student while working as a security guard at Westinghouse College Prep in 2021 should be fired, Chicago Police Superintendent Larry Snelling determined, records show. @wttw news.wttw.com/2026/03/16/fir…

@MurrayHillGuy1 Going to a sports game is Npc behavior

Random Friday night drinking makes no sense to me anymore. You feel like shit the next morning, waste $250, eat garbage at 2am, and wake up with nothing to show for it. Alcohol should be reserved for events weddings, birthdays, sports games, dates, etc. Learning how to go out sober and still rizz is a cheat code. Getting drunk just because “it’s Friday” is NPC behavior…

@StealthQE4 You are so dumb and do not deserve any following on this app.

Rumors out there that Netanyahu is dead. Can’t confirm

@StealthQE4 QE infinity suffers from tds.

Just a guess but 2,500 Marines isn’t going to able to do squat in the Straight of Hormuz. 🤦‍♂️
