We are heartbroken. Words cannot express how much pain and anger we feel. We tried to express the anger after Officer Soderberg was killed, but we do not know if that article is strong enough.
God Bless you Officer Bailey. Again, it sounds as if you had a lot more to offer society than those that took your life. Hopefully our police department can bring those that did this to you to justice. We'll take that justice either by man or by God.
Raise the alert. To our officers, be very cautious on and off duty. Be ready to attack if confronted. Do not trust that just because you are off duty that nothing could happen, even in Mt. Greenwood. To our neighbors, be alert and aware of your surroundings. If you look and try to anticipate the threat, you might be able to do something about it.
What a sad day. What a sad month. What a sad year.

The other post regarding OUR loss
We lost another officer. ANOTHER ONE to the 007th District. This time right outside the police station.
Our thoughts. We are losing this war boys and girls. The violence and the thuggery is taking over this city. We are losing not because we do not have the soldiers to fight the war. Oh no, we have the soldiers. Trust me. Myself and some of my staff work with them. They are some of the bravest, strongest and smartest people that I have ever had the pleasure of knowing and working with(I am using the first person because this article is coming straight from the writer). We are losing because we have let our city, and neighborhood in some respects, be taken over by a political group that does not give two shits about their citizens or their police. They coddle up next to Ceasefire and reverends, who are probably so in bed with the gangs that it might be hard to tell the difference, just so they can retain power. These politicians believe they gain political power by throwing officers that sometimes operate in a grey area right under the bus. These officers are the same ones that are spilling their blood, sweat and tears in neighborhoods that do not truly appreciate what they are doing. Englewood being one of them. Our boys and girls in blue are itching for the opportunity to right the wrongs that they see daily, but can't because of fear they will lose their job over some grey area actions that are completely called for at this point. I don't blame them and nor should you. Changes need to be made.
There are sections of this city that are truly lost. Englewood is one of them. Now, I know we are going to hear speeches regarding how there are good people that live in Englewood and that they deserve to have protection. Fuck that. If those good people are there, then it is time for them to do one of two things. Either leave or stand up and fight for their neighborhood. Let them stand up and speak out for the police. Demand news coverage for their pro police and pro neighborhood rants. Speak clearly and to the point that anything that occurs in a police officers tour of duty that wanders into the grey area of policing, be considered as the right thing the police officer did.
However, until that day comes and until the evil starts acting good, we have a new proposal. Examine the taxes generated from that neighborhood and give them the protection that their neighborhood deserves in the form of taxes collected, not votes garnered. Then pull all of the resources out of that neighborhood because we are sure that money going into that neighborhood is well over money coming out. All of the extra units, all of the manpower, equipment, the police station, etc. Let the neighborhood fall on its own without taking the good along with it. Send all of those resources to our district or other districts where it is evident there is still good. I promise you, the people of Mt. Greenwood would not march against their police. They would welcome them with open arms and appreciate what they are there to do. We have lost enough good people in this war. If the politicians won't let us fight this war to win, then we are going to choose the battles we fight. Like fighting for Mt. Greenwood.
It takes good to kill evil. We have the good on our side. God knows it. The citizens of Mt. Greenwood know it. The politicians and the ones with power (media, reverends, etc) don't care about good unless it serves their political, power hungry interests. They will also embrace evil if it serves their political, power hungry needs. In the city as a whole, good vs. evil, evil is winning. In our neighborhood, good vs. evil, good is winning but evil is advancing. Let's put a stop to it. God is on our side.

RIP officer
We have again lost a good officer to the violence that plagues this city. It is again a sad day in Chicago and a day for solemn prayers and rememberances. What a shame.
Please only respectful thoughts and prayers in this post. We are going to post another entry that will give you the opportunity to air your thoughts.
God bless you officer. May your soul find peace with the Lord in heaven. Your service in hell has ended and you deserve the rest and peace.

Rest In Peace
Officer, you fought the good fight and you are in a much better place. For your service to your country and to your community, we salute you. Another soldier that was fighting the good fight has been taken from us, but we will win these fights and do so in your honor.
To the father of this officer, we salute you and will stand by you as we all grieve your loss. Your stand against evil will not be forgotten and your service is, and will be honored. God bless you and your family in this time of grieving.
