@sullyhome @bibliographing @RaymondALopez @ChicagosMayor Plenty of undocumented folks have found employment without forcing their young children to work.

@SWSchicago @bibliographing @RaymondALopez @ChicagosMayor So what’s your solution?

70K migrant asylum seekers account for the gains, not @ChicagosMayor’s “better, safer, stronger” campaign slogans

@sullyhome @bibliographing @RaymondALopez @ChicagosMayor No, they literally send 5yos into crowded bars to sell candy, have them walk across traffic, while the "parents" rotate in and out and keep the same kids working all day and night. That's child abuse. It's actually against the law for adults to force children to solicit sales.

@bibliographing @RaymondALopez @ChicagosMayor I think that’s called survival. I hope you acted with kindness and bought two.

Listen carefully to @AldermanTabares as she directs comments at Anjanette Young, a nominee for CCPSA. Tabares informed the audience of the startling increase in attacks on CPD post-George Floyd. Attacks on CPD in 2020 surged 339 percent. Tabares then listed seven CPD murdered in the line of duty since 2020. The alderman then reminded Ms. Young how she characterized CPD's response to Dexter Reed, who wantonly opened fire on CPD, wounding one, as "excessive." Tabares then pointedly explained Young's language was consistent with the anti-police movement, thus rendering Young unfit to serve on CCPSA. Well done, Ms. Tabares.

@thewatch42 Thank you

@thewatch42 @saeileenburke Which PO was this?

@saeileenburke Don’t forget that CCSA Eileen Burke has refused to recharge three Spanish cobra gang members for murdering a cop that was recorded. Total loser. Complete betrayal of every cop in the city.

Offender Charged with First Degree Murder of a #ChicagoPolice Officer and Attempted Murder of a Second Chicago Police Officer @ChicagoCAPS17 @ChicagoCAPS20 @Area5Detectives Investigative Response Team

@CWBChicago @JonnyCacciatore I've waited outside of hospitals on multiple occasions because my coworkers were being treated for gunshot wounds inside. I agree - misinformation spreads rapidly and even people right outside might not know.

...Some folks are asking why. We have found that in these situations, inaccurate information spreads widely, even among very well-placed individuals. For that reason, it is important to triple-check, quadruple-check, and even quintuple-check details before reporting.

Now: Two officers shot at Swedish Hospital. An "active shooting" per Ald. Andre Vasquez. #Chicago #ChicagoScanner

@HeartOTXHeartMD @chicagobars Two officers shot at Swedish Hospital and for a while the shooter was on the loose.

@chicagobars Yeah- what’s going on? They screamed past me as well- really fast. Never seen CPD Cars moving that fast!

@RepMikeQuigley Andre Vasquez hates the police. Why should we follow him for info?

I am aware of reports of an active shooter at Swedish Hospital and the 2600 block of W Winona. Please avoid the area and follow instructions from law enforcement. Follow your local elected officials, like Alderman Andre Vasquez, for urgent updates on the situation. Stay safe. My thoughts are also with the officers who have been injured in this incident.

Simple - the threshold for mandatory use of force reporting has been lowered. Things (like having a firm grip on someone who is actively resisting) prompt a tactical response report, whereas just a few years ago, that reporting wasn't required. When metrics change, so do stats.

FULL STORY: The significant increase in the number of times Chicago police officers have used force against members of the public since 2022 merits a “full-scale review,” Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul’s office told a federal judge. @wttw news.wttw.com/2026/04/22/cpd…

This horrific carjacking was a gut punch for Chicago in November 2023. This week, one of the guys responsible got shipped off to federal prison for 14½ years. 👋 Our story: cwbchicago.com/2026/04/14%c2%…

Uh-huh. Now, when Monday arrives, if there are any fewer than these mysterious FIVE 🖐️ teen trends, he'll claim to be responsible for the "success." If there's one: "We prevented FOUR!" Etc.

A Chicago native and longtime leader on the Chicago Police Department SWAT Team was critically wounded in a shooting in Kentucky, where he now serves as a deputy on the Crittenden County Sheriff’s Department. @WGNNews wgntv.com/news/kentucky-…

@william10_101 @CWBChicago @BenBradleyTV Except this happened in DuPage County, not Cook. DuPage has rarely been as lenient as Cook, whether it was for the initial bond amount set or a reduction later.

@CWBChicago @BenBradleyTV You know as well as I do that bond reductions after a few weeks in county were the norm for people charged with this type of offense pre Safe-T act.

Prosecutor says SAFE-T Act prevents man arrested for DUI with a 22-month old child in the car from being detained... despite his two previous DUI convictions. wgntv.com/news/wgn-inves…

@GovPritzker Murdered.

Firefighter Michael Altman passed away in the line of duty after battling a fire in Rogers Park. Our hearts are with his family and the CFD as we grieve the loss of this hero. I’ve ordered our flags to fly at half-staff in his honor. May his memory be a blessing.

@CWBChicago Also he claims that he "passed a law in 2021," but what I read is that he merely sponsored a law. So, is he being dishonest?

So.... 1) Staying on private property without permission when asked to leave is trespassing. Ergo, a crime *was* being committed. 2) Why, according to the narrative, are we to only consider Simmons' emotions and experiences but not the woman's emotions and experiences?

Just to be clear...those "microphones on sticks" (as Brandon Johnson called them) would have notified police within 30 seconds and pinpointed a location of where the shots originated from. Instead, a woman was shot and left for dead and the odds of ever finding her killer have dropped to nearly zero because Brandon Johnson and his band of "progressives" think quickly dispatching police to gunshots is a bad thing.

Peaking in Pink. This morning's sunrise in Chicago. #weather #chicago

Because people rarely call in and we no longer have ShotSpotter. Pretty simple.
