Hillard's moves getting more and more play in the media - and of course, it has to have a racial angle in Chicago:
African-American aldermen said Thursday they’re all for interim Police Supt. Terry Hillard’s plan to reassign officers from specialized units to the patrol division — but only if those freed-up officers go to high-crime districts.
Supt. Jody Weis resigned earlier this month before delivering on the police re-allocation he had promised.
So the next best thing might be Hillard’s plan to siphon 100 officers from the 260-member Mobile Strike Force — and possibly pull officers from other specialized units such as one that focuses on seizing guns from gang members — the aldermen said.
We see a lot of people getting shifted to crappy districts, then the Department not opening up bids for a few years like they managed to do during large parts of J-Fled's reign.
