What no mention of the '68 Democratic National Convention?

There's a puzzling reference to "Michigan Avenue near Clark Street." The two streets run parallel to each other, with three streets in between. --Wbkelley 08:39, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Wasn't the negative portryal of the Chicago police in a TV show that showed one taking a bribe, not from the the Blues Brothers? Highlandlord 02:15, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
Chicago police are crooks. Trust me on this. I received 6 tickets, when I contacted the alderman, I was told that parking there is legal and the meter maid says it's illegal. Upon contesting the charges by mail with pictures and dates and times as proof, only 2 out of 6 tickets were waived. Meaning I still had to pay $200 in fines or contest the charges which would have taken more time and not allowed me to go to work and college. This is on the northern side of Taylor St. on the Northwest corner of Taylor St. and Oakley Blvd. By the way, this is recent 2005. I do have a lot of stories, I may sign up and add to the discussion section. Also, they're never around when you need them, they harass people in impoverished regions far more than others and they do perform illegal activities in gangs. Come to think of it, I'm also going to get a portable video camera. --Anonymous user (citation: life)
- That's still OK, come to Europe, especially to Czech Republic and you'll se really bad police, totally functionless. Novis-M 11:19, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
People like to bad mouth police. Usually its the ones that get into troubles. Not all police are dicks though. Some are and they're usually the ones you see on tv giving a bad rep to the good cops. It's a cycle causing people to become untrustworthy of police.216.125.11.206 06:22, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Demographics
What about demographics in Chicago Police? Novis-M 11:19, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Black Panther Raid
I wonder if it really is noteworthy that five of the cops at the raid were black. What difference would it make if five cops out of say 25 or more officers were black? Shouldn't we then mention that State's Attorney who ordered the raid was white? --Badass-boi 19:27, 28 April 2007
[edit] trivia
a note on the article pages say we must change the trivia. put the tricvia in the article text. Boromir's Regret 21:44, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Appearance in pop culture - "Chicago Police"
I don't seem to understand how a police department in the United States has the power to ban the use of their name in fictitious works and parodies? Did they seek some sort of injunction against this.... ??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.58.250.21 (talk) 22:35, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Picture mislabel
The picture of the helicopter (Image:KM 6159 city of chicago police helicopter august 2007.jpg) is actually a New York Police Department helicopter, not a Chicago one, and one could notice it by looking at the badge, so I'll remove it, for clarity's sake. -Uagehry456talk 05:33, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Phone number
I'm going to find another place to put the section "Phone number" which I don't think deserves to top the section on controversy. We have items on incidences that placed Chicago police in the national and international eye, and we're talking about it changing it's phone system? It doesn't fit, so rather than delete it, I'd rather just move it elsewhere. --Badass-boi 12:49, 19 Nov. 2007
Is there an actual reference for this? I have never heard of it growing up in Chicago and the Google info is virutally non-existent. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.148.21.82 (talk) 04:41, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Department Motto
The department motto is not "To Serve and Protect" it is "We Serve and Protect" it is on their official website, on the side of every Chicago PD car and has been since 1960 as stated in Chicago Tribune editorial in December of 2007. Cadking3 (talk) 23:11, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
