Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy Second Amendment Dimwit
This guy has all the intellectual capacity of a dust mite.
Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy how's that Chicago gun ban working out for your city? Highest murder rate in the country and you advocate that the sheeple of Chicago should remain unable to defend themselves? Good job comrade, you'll be the next director of DHS.
Chicago's top cop likens gun lobby's influence to corruption
Published February 18, 2013

Facing a surging homicide rate and several headline-grabbing murders, Chicago’s top cop is taking aim at lobbyists who he says prevent politicians from implementing more gun control measures.
Appearing on a local Windy City Sunday morning talk show on the radio station WLSAM, Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said special interests that lobby politicians to influence their opinion on gun control are the real problem.
“If there was a special interest influencing police work, I believe that would be called corruption,” McCarthy said. “So, if it has to do with donating money, versus a popular vote, I think we have a bigger problem in this country and someone has to wake up to that.”
Gun rights advocates seized on the comments, saying that McCarthy was blaming the city’s gun violence on donors and lobbyists who advocate for the Second Amendment.
“Garry McCarthy’s understanding of our Constitution barely qualifies him as a meter maid, never mind the chief of the nation’s third largest police department,” Illinois State Rifle Association Executive Director Richard Pearson said.
Despite having some of the toughest gun laws in the nation, Chicago saw more than 500 homicides last year for the first time since 2008, and some 43 murders took place in January. That has prompted several pro-gun rights groups to say it proves new gun control measures aren’t the answer.

When you are the Police Superintendant in a large city which has the most restrictive set of gun laws in the country, that has more murders annually than the U.S. military has casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan, you should Shut the Fxxk up and start enforcing the laws that are in place.

Frack. Now Stasi Chief Flynn in Milwaukee will have to say something on the record to get over his Chicago-envy.
Doing his best to point the blame somewhere else in a ridiculously feeble attempt to pull the attention away from his woefully inadequate leadership capabilities, law enforcement or otherwise. Meter maid? Not even a mall cop.
I'm surrounded by idiots.

Newark’s Mayor Cory Booker may be a Rhodes Scholar but he has something to learn about appointing a police director — esp ecially when he comes from the NYPD. Check behind the man’s resume.
Newark’s city council — which must confirm Booker’s appointee, the NYPD’s Deputy Commissioner of Operations, Garry McCarthy — also has something to learn.
Last week, the council approved $157, 369 from a non-profit group to pay the consulting firm of former NYPD commissioner Howard Safir. First, is it coincidence that Safir promoted McCarthy from the mid-level command position of inspector to the exalted title of deputy commissioner?
Second, Safir — whose firm is to aid the Newark police department in a city that is largely black — was the NYPD’s commissioner in 1999 when four white cops fired 41 bullets at the unarmed African immigrant Amadou Diallo. The shooting provoked month-long demonstrations outside One Police Plaza and left a reservoir of ill-will in the city’s minority communities.
Third, emblematic of his general insensitivity to any police issue other than reducing crime, Safir pleaded a “scheduling conflict” to avoid testifying at a city council hearing about the shooting. Some conflict. The night before the hearing, he was spotted on national television at the Oscars in Hollywood.
McCarthy, too, has something to learn — about knowing when to hold’ em and when to fold ‘em.
No, we’re not suggesting he withdraw as police director, a job for which he still appears to have a fighting chance. Nor are we referring to his arrest in February, 2005, by the Palisades Interstate Parkway police following his actions one can view as either aberrational or illustrative of his character.
Rather it’s what he did after his arrest; his decision to fight the charges rather than walk away as Chief of Department Joe Esposito advised him when McCarthy telephoned Espo after he’d been hand-cuffed and disarmed, for raising hell with the two arresting Palisades officers after one of them issued his daughter Kyla a parking ticket.
Instead of walking away — Take the ticket and get out of there as quickly as you can, wise old Joe told him — McCarthy tried to tough it out.
“Not guilty,” he, Kyla and his wife Regina [who was charged with excessive noise] belted out together in their first appearance at the Palisades Parkway traffic court. He and Regina subsequently appeared in court a half-dozen times, their antics reported in this column in delicious detail.
In finding McCarthy guilty of a minor traffic violation, the judge, Stephen Zaben, cited the fact that McCarthy had been drinking before the incident; noted that if McCarthy believed the cop who had ticketed Kyla to be an imposter as McCarthy claimed in his testimony, McCarthy should have contacted the Palisades Parkway police supervising officer before confronting the cop; stated that McCarthy, rather than the two arresting Palisades cops, had been the aggressor; and criticized Regina for grabbing her husband’s gun back from the two Palisades cops who had confiscated it.
Then, McCarthy insisted on appealing. Last week, Patrick Roma, a New Jersey Appellate Judge, affirmed Zaben’s guilty verdict, adding that McCarthy had “thrown his weight around” and used “extraordinarily poor judgment.”
And in words that may return to haunt him, he was quoted in the Newark Star Ledger — which has already questioned his appointment — saying that that the lesson he had learned about his arrest was “how not to run a police agency” — specifically, “poor candidate screening, an absolute lack of supervision, no discipline and poor policies within that agency.”

Maybe 'Da chief thinks Chicago was a good fit since some of the surrounding communities allow "havin' a few at lunch before your shift"...

It would appear that Westchester does not allow an officer to "hit the street" if they are under the influence.
IMO it is totally unacceptable to even be allowed to get paid for showing up at anything more than a BAC of .00...
Yeah sure, go ahead, tip a few back with your burger, then we'll let you answer phone calls and dispatch a squad to the wrong address or process the evidence from that high profile case we just caught... :rolleyes:

I have never been an advocate of suicide, until now...
This guy is just proof positive that nothing good comes out of Chicago politics. He is simply parroting the Obama line of reasoning.

Now that was good!
I monitor NPR from time to time and heard an interesting story on " This American Life" by Ira Glass. It was about the South Side of Chicago, while I knew it was bad ...I had no idea. The perspectives of American life by those South Siders is completely different than what I was raised to believe in. The covenant of citizens to do the right thing and be responsible in order to enjoy freedoms and rights or constitution guarantees us is almost completely void.

Accorcing to Forbes, Chicago is not in the top 10 most dangerous cities in 2012.

Most of the murders we read of in Chicago are gang related--complicated by the intra gang rivalries and splintering of gangs-- or so I have heard.
Lots of huge Metro areas dodge that round because of their huge population....try driving thru the southside of Chitown some night. Chitown ain't that dangerous in total....but the South Side is worse than any province in Astan for small arms fire.
