A whole counsel, police department, fire department, etc. for a village of an area of 1.25 square miles, a population of ~4,000, and with an interstate running right through it? I will never understand why.
@Im da Man90 Yeah, I’m serious, the local board, constituents and dixmoor president could have done that without putting the whole community on blast If you don’t see the logic in not wanting criminals to know dixmoor can be an easy target I guess you ain’t “da Man” That was the point , exhaust every option to fix the problem before calling WGN
@@disneyfan9099 Oh, don't even go there. Not every one can live in a big city suburb or condo where people walk their dogs pleasantly and go for a jog before dinner.
@@baileybutterfly320 then what does it mean? Defund means what ? Police, ok. People need to quit changing the meaning of words and phrases. Defund the police means de fund the po lice.....
I bet they’re all getting paid while they do nothing. They file tax returns. I’m sure anything they buy for their jobs can get written off. He’s talking about bulletproof vests but I could not find the last time a police officer was shot in Dixmoor. I can’t even find a police involved shooting besides the police shooting a dog. Maybe not waste money on items that are rarely used. These police walk around with multiple pairs of cuffs, multiple full clips for their guns, and etc. I’m sure the town has countless automatic weapons that rarely get used. This is the problem with police funding in general. Militarization of police. It’s not about defunding police it’s about using funds for proper policing and training.
First off were are the funds going? These counties that are right up the road from each other. With 8 different police departments. 6 car units for each department. Just another way to bring in more funds to fund other things besides the community's. Y'all need to do your own community policing if that's the case
Police are only there to document the crime after it has taken place, Not to prevent crime! I once called a police station, someone threatened to pull a gun on me for no reason, what did police say? “Call after they pull gun out and shoot”
Send in BLM and social workers. They know how to handle this. They know EVERYTHING. Aren't all POPOS racist anyways? Why would you want racists on your streets? Here is a chance for Pookie who live with his gramama to get a job.
I don’t like the police at all but this is really stupid and he need to go because he’s not helping the public by doing that, he trying to force them to do what he want by pulling the police
Not extortion at all. The city council has not released any money towards the police department, other than for paper supplies and fuel (for the patrol vehicles) for years. The council should have already bought all of the vests for each officer, and had extras...not to mention, hired a few more officers. But, the council is holding the money for some reason. I bet their pockets are getting fat, though, because the money is going somewhere. Did you notice that the Mayor did not come on for an interview to explain her side ??? Her opponent sure did.
Love that Chief I'd do the same if I was him. You gotta do something so people can take you seriously. And as for citizens.....well now you understand why 2nd amendment rights are important anything can happen.
As if trump America was better?!?!? Seriously?!?!? Def wasn't better in Illinois or for ANY middle class or any non-elites. I truly hope you're on not that bs trump juice. Trumpers act worse than the damn junkies. Smh

It's not hard to get the grants to get all the supplies you need to do your job!! Chief I think you either need to learn how to do your job or get out of law enforcement!
If the council/board is not releasing the funds, then they can NOT buy the necessary equipment. Not every officer has a vest.....the council should be buying those, and having extras (in case the ones being used are damaged by bullets). It really is that simple. I bet the city council has their fat paychecks and are redistributing the city's money into their pockets. It is a Democratically-run city council anyway. 🤷♂️

Bruh they need Top Flight Security right now🤷♂️🤔
How about not telling the media there are no local police on duty ?
Hey WGN you do realize this report could endanger dixmoor citizens?

@Ben Parker
Oh well I guess they should never have a police department in dixmoor
🤦🏻♂️ laughable
This fishing pole though, with the mic 🎤 🤣🤣
Wheel it in... ME & MY FRIENDS...😂😂😂😂😂😂
LMAO!!! DAMN!!!
Ridiculous.... fire this Chief immediately...how smart is this ?
Let me be the police chief, I’ll be happy to do that job for the pay he’s getting.
But all this south side suburbs pay very high property taxes mean all this money go to school, fire,police,school and other services residents pay for
The Chief is 100% correct. The police should not have to operate without flak jackets and hummers. The mayor and trustees need to listen.
Well Dixmoor, you got your wish to “defund the PO-lice”.
You don’t even KNOW WHAT defund the police mean... STFU
@@baileybutterfly320 so whats it mean?

Our soldiers who stormed Normandy didn't have bulletproof vests either, but that didn't stop them...
It stopped about 10,000 of them.
And, to be fair, D-Day was 77 years ago and the army has since begun wearing body armor.
Comparing this to Normandy? Seriously???
A hot mess. And people know what I mean.

So nobody gets paid then, right.......
Nice to not have to hear or see Robin
Well tell him how you really feel brother😂😂
Police are only there to document the crime after it has taken place, Not to prevent crime! I once called a police station, someone threatened to pull a gun on me for no reason, what did police say? “Call after they pull gun out and shoot”
So go ahead and announce it, why don't you??!!...
You got your wish to “defund the PO-lice”.
STFU
A beat cost like 300 bucks. If they don’t go buy a damn vest and go to work. I buy my own equipment cause I want the best for my job.
Well Texas got them guns so. U don't have to worry bout robbery
What does Texas have to do with a Chicago, ILLINOIS suburb?
Police without bulletproof vests. Savage 😂
Step down and step to the side IF they can’t do the job
Moordix
Don’t move to this town

No bullet proof vest wow.

So the officers are out here patrolling, without bullet proof vest than smh😅😅
@@erickn7985 what do that mean? How are you officers to wearing vest
Typical cop, using public safety as leverage to bargain for more money. Add to that other obvious factors and you've got an extortion specialist.
Not extortion at all.
The city council has not released any money towards the police department, other than for paper supplies and fuel (for the patrol vehicles) for years.
The council should have already bought all of the vests for each officer, and had extras...not to mention, hired a few more officers.
But, the council is holding the money for some reason.
I bet their pockets are getting fat, though, because the money is going somewhere.

Her opponent sure did.
Drama queen fire him and all of them
Other people want jobs
Love that Chief I'd do the same if I was him. You gotta do something so people can take you seriously. And as for citizens.....well now you understand why 2nd amendment rights are important anything can happen.
Another day in Biden's America..

What Trump policies did you disagree with?
@@newbutthunt I will name off few:
2017 Executive orders (only in parts that were signed) -- again just to name few things:
•His attempts to repeal ACA (1/20)
•Infrastructure --- *NONE* (1/24)
•Immigration policy (1/25) / Family Separation
•Border Wall
•Muslim Ban (1/17)
•Revocation of federal contracting; which allowed discrimination (3/27)
•Promote Energy Independence; which cut back regulations (3/28)
•Tax Regulations (4/21)
•"Promotion of Free Speech & Religious Liberties"; more for the IRS and religious groups (5/4)
•Restoration of sales of military equipment for law enforcement use (8/28)
•Health Care (10/12)
•Jeff Sessions
•Betsy Devos
(Although I did not like many of his administration, period)
•ZERO tax cuts for the rich. Rather hurt the middle class & the whole itemizing structures that were in place
•Steadily attempting to take credit for the Veteran's Care; which was done by Obama
•Repealing his initial executive orders of "no lobbying"; which he initially signed the executive order, on 1/28/2017
•6 weeks paid leave --- NEVER HAPPENED
•LOUIS DEJOY; WORST thing ever for the USPS. I have friends & family that work for the postal service. It's ridiculous now
I can keep going. Lol
One thing people don't understand, I've had huge fascination for trump; since the early 90's. That is until he ran for office; which he actually had been attempting to do, for quite some time. Hence having changed his party affiliations so many times.
Hope this helps to better understand my position. Even if just a little bit. 😊
Stay safe & I hope you (or anyone reading this) have a marvelous evening 💕
When you keep voting in the same party there is no incentive for them to perform because they know you will vote them back in
there will be less shootings
😆 BWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHLOL
Don't forget the drug shortage
...aww chit!!! my ppl involved !!!?...nothing but over emotional hatred bs going on!!
Dixmoor? Ok.
It's not hard to get the grants to get all the supplies you need to do your job!! Chief I think you either need to learn how to do your job or get out of law enforcement!
