Society has gone by the way of Political Correctness and has introduced a fear in individuals that makes us apprehensive to react when seeing something out of the ordinary. MTGP wants to get this out in the open now. MTGP wants the citizens of the community to stop listening to the reverends and the politicians that live outside of our community and allowing those individuals to influence our rational decisions.
Let's first analyze what Mt. Greenwood is. It is a predominantly white community. It is what it is. No apologies necessary.
Now we got that out of the way. Mt. Greenwood also has citizens living inside of it that our of other races from black to Hispanic to the purple people eater. If they are good people, as with the white people, then they are known to the community, at least their neighborhood, as being non-threatening productive members of society. Our community should not and do not call the police on race alone...usually there are some other factors. That is called racial profiling.
However, a rational individual should process an example as follows as so:
A male black individual walking very slowly down 107 and central park. This male black individual is looking towards homes and cars. You have never seen this person here before. He is in a predominantly white neighborhood. His youthful age suggests he is at the prime age for offenders to commit crime. You know of crimes being committed by people of this race and age in your neighborhood (i.e. the ALERT(S) posted on this blog). Albeit, the male black individual is doing nothing but walking down the street. What do you do?
Do you:
(A) I don't want to offend anyone by calling the police on an individual who is doing nothing wrong even though the hair on the back of my head tells me things are out of sort.
(B) Come outside, guns a blazing, hitting anything that moves with your .45cal weapon and hope you got the right person.
(C) Call the police, keep watching. If possible and safely, even follow. Document what and when you see it. Prepare yourself to protect yourself and your family. Continuously call police to update location and actions and if any criminal activity occurs.
If you said (A) then you are the individual MTGP is targeting with this post. By doing nothing and pretending all is good, that individual maybe be in the process of casing a location, testing the waters or even worse, in the act of committing a crime. It is not racial profiling because of the following additional factors taken into account:
neighborhood that you spend much of your time in and know
actions of the subject
previous idea of crimes occurring and could be a potential offender
no idea who the hell he is
This is called criminal profiling. In criminal profiling, you are allowed to take race into account. Just like the white teenager driving through a predominantly black neighborhood where a police officer knows that narcotic activity is occurring. Add on top of that the license plate check that reveals a suburban address and you have just criminally profiled by using race as a factor. There is nothing wrong with that.
If you answered (B), well, you will be by next target house on the blog for people to look at. Not to mention mental health professionals would make a fortune off of you.
(C) is the correct answer in MTGP's opinion. The call and potential stop by the police could alert this individual that people are watching, the police are around, and who knows, could lead to an arrest of a potential offender from one of our alerts.
We as a society need to get out of the political correctness rut we are in. Terrorists are predominantly Muslim with Arab decent and have made numerous threats against the U.S. Call it like you see it. It could save someone a lot of trouble, and maybe even someone's life.

Yes, we have just as much right as anyone else to live in our neighborhoods in peace. This PC b.s. has gone on long enough. Nothing but a smokescreen for reverse-racism. You are either a criminal or not. If you are suspicious, and do not fit into the area, time of day, etc; you ARE a suspicious person. CALL THE POLICE, QUIT SECOND-GUESSING YOURSELVES, AND STAY OFF YOUR CELL-PHONES WHILE DRIVING.
Could'nt have said it better myself! Open your eyes and ears people! It won't get better by doing nothing!
i choose B!!!!!!!!!!! WHEN DO WE GET THE GUNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I watched a light skinned black man walk into my neighborhood, take a shovel out of my neighbors truck, approach me with it, telling me he was "borrowing it" and then asked me to help him find something! This guy then proceeded to walk around my street looking around. I called 911; a black female took my call. I was dumfounded when I told her that I had a run-in with a light skinned black male in front of my home who stole a tool out of my neighbors truck, she cut me off with a major attitude and said "what do you mean, run-in? What did he do to you? What crime is he committing?" even after I again told her that he stole a tool out of my neighbors truck, and I didn't even get a chance to explain what else he was doing. I was waiting for this lady to scream racism at me! I'm sorry, but I'm going to call the police when I see suspicious stuff happening.
What is this world coming to?! When can white people start calling racism on those that are being racist against us because we can't have a problem with ANYONE that's NOT our color???
It's absolutely ridiculous that we can't talk openly in order to protect our neighborhood, our families, and our homes for fear of job loss. This state and even this country has become a bunch of sniveling whiny overly-politically-correct liberal babies. Being politically correct is one thing, but to the point of naivety that actually causes individual or public harm, is another.
I'm not a native of this state, but I've been here for the last decade. It's not just people like J-Fraud and his puppeteer that have ruined life for all of us Chicagoans, but you have to look at how places like the 22nd district is actually run, the ones responsible for assigning cars to protect our neighborhoods and keeping them in the neighborhoods they are assigned to. For instance, 2211 and 2211A. We have these dedicated cars, but the PO's go where they are told to go. Some of the PO's actually do care about this beat & do police it when they are assigned to 2211.
I give a LOT of credit to the PO's working at 22 that came from busier districts like 11 or 7. These seasoned officers have seen it all and know to make arrests that will impact the communities the most. These PO's came from one of the worst districts to work (street-wise) but had honest, hardworking, and effective leadership, as well as loyal fellow officers that would not only have their back but also provide strong camaraderie. Then they come to a place like 22, one of the "safer" districts to work, but has leadership that plays favorites & rewards PO's that make numbers regardless of the quality of arrest. There are some PO’s out there, that even though they are being robbed by the city of decent pay increases, they actually know how to make good arrests that impact the community’s safety. But 22 is assigning the wrong guys to the wrong cars. PO’s that make numbers regardless of arrest quality and impact to community are being taken care of and put on our beat, as opposed to the guys that are genuinely interested in taking care of our community regardless of their numbers. Remember, for us civilians, it’s QUALITY over QUANTITY. To leadership of 22, it’s QUANTITY over QUALITY any day! These inexperienced PO's that are simply stroking egos, they tie up too much man-power for too many hours while our beat sits here unpoliced. It would be nice to see the leadership at 22 actually assign PO's to 11 and 06 cars that make quality arrests that will actually keep our streets safe. I hear that PO's at 22 are also challenged with zero camaraderie and loyalty from fellow officers. How are us civilians suppose to feel safe when most of our own PO's at 22 don't trust each other and aren't confident that their partners or fellow PO's will be able to protect them. I pay taxes, I donate, I want protection, I don't care about your numbers when your numbers have very little impact on the spread of crime in my community. WHY can't we get someone in 22 that looks and says..."Hey, can someone explain to me why we had 3 cars down yesterday for almost 6 hours...for a bust that landed us a few ounces of weed and a few rocks???"
Call me a racist, but I don't care what color skin you have, white, black, brown, yellow, pink, polka dots...if you are walking down my street and are acting in ANY way suspicious, I've never seen you before, I'm calling the police. If you are at my neighbors door knocking, grabbing the doorknob, I'm calling the police. If I see you walking door to door dropping off solicitations, looking around suspiciously, I'm calling the police. Simple as that!
The more 911 is called, the more 2211 and 2211 A stays in Mt Greenwood, the more protection you have, the less likely your squad will be pulled.....the SAFER you'll be.
B and I've got the .45 already.
reverse-racism THERE IS NO SUCH THING RACISM IS RACISM NO MATTER THE COLOR
AFFIRMATIVE ACTION IN ACTION!!
your all paranoid, that stranger might be your savior one day.
