We chased down a squad car and yelled for them to help but they just replied "Isn't it past curfew?" and had us lined up and took their time searching us while a man bled to death just one block away. I never trusted cops ever again.
My general opinion of cops is positive, but unfortunately you do get more of a negative impression if you come from a family of lawyers/judges. I was very close with a relative who was a Superior Court judge in Illinois, and some of his stories were very upsetting. Smaller towns though, and especially if you're a wealthy local business owner, the police are very courteous to you. I have even had police come to my office to tell me that one of my part-time employees was being extradited to another state and wouldn't be coming in to work that day - definitely not something that police are required to do, but did anyway as a courtesy.
I was an apprentice electrician working on Armitage, between seminary and Kenmore in 1980. Rehabbing big courtyard building accross from St. Terese church. Big John’s bar just down the street. I was 22. The old-timers on the job were convinced the developer was gonna lose his ass. “Who in God’s name would live this far west of Halsted?” they said….. I guess we found out.
At 14:07 he said 1924 s trumbull. I used to live at 1933 s. Saint Louis ave. Which basically if I look out the back yard across the alley is Trumbull. The building still look the same minus upgraded windows.
Illinois state police was the first law enforcement agency that started to used semi automatic handguns instead of revolvers in 1982. Same year as the blues brothers movie
They really showed you how much the police are damaged from the job here. Good find here as I was just a kid at this time. I’ll be sharing this with people.
Most police aren't working in those kinds of extreme conditions, thankfully. The vast majority of jurisdictions in the US see serious crime only occasionally. And thankfully, the crime rate today is much lower than back then (70s-early 90s). If it weren't for the opioid epidemic and fentanyl, we'd be in a much better place, but at least it's better today than the 70s, 80s, or 90s
Born in 84.. This the Chicago my pops and family knew.. My gma who passed was born in 1925 in Chicago.. The amount of PTSD from Police and Kids who witness this gun violence.. Chicago ain't gone change.. They are gonna just continue to tax people out of Illinois.. The property taxes are insane.. Northwest Indiana has seen a boom in subdivisions and population..

You'll be happy to hear that "Chicago ain't gon' change" is not quite true. Crime rate, and especially violent crime rate, is much much lower today than in the 1980s and 90s. As long as you aren't living in the middle of a gang-infested neighborhood, there isn't too much to worry about, other than the high cost of living 😂
About equal or worse back then, you could get away with a lot more before all the ring cameras and street pole police pod cameras, although I will say if you placed this current generation in those days it would have been more deadly.
It is definitely different in many ways, and much the same in others. It's hard to explain unless one has lived in and around various 'hoods for a couple of decades or more.
@@westlove1226 I agree, although I don't know if this "current generation" would act the way they do now back then. A foot in the 🍑 by the cops back then went a long way to keep people in-line and respectful (ask me how I know...😂).
I must admit that in the past I've been overly critical of police officers in general, without acknowledging 1. That despite all efforts at institutional conformity, they are individuals, with accordingly individual attitudes & responses. 2. To the extent our society has all too many areas that qualify as Urban Hellholes or Asphalt Jungles, it isn't (for the most part) police officers who legislate the laws, maintain & defend policies that create precincts full of drastic human dysfunction. Our political leaders and the super rich they serve design, implement & perpetuate systemic mass inequity and injustice. They're the ones responsible for the root CAUSES of "crime & punishment."
Logan Square has probably had the longest gentrification process in the history of the world. It was just beginning (I think) when I lived there in for a short time in 1982. You had some yuppies-SWPLs- PMCs moving in among the Hispanics and the then still commonly encountered white working class. The Logan Square festival was apparently just getting started and looked to be overwhelmingly made up of college educated-type whites.

@@stringlarson1247 Mt. Sinai now?
lived around Milw Damen and North till i was 10 yrs old 1955. remember the El tracks and if i remember correctly the turn around was at Logan square. and as kids my older brother would take me to Humboldt Park. to ride our bikes around the lake. it was safe back then day or night...
It definitely wasn't safe back then. Just rose-colored glasses. My grandparents used to take us downtown to look at the "bums" in those days, just to scare us 😂
@@CommonContentArchive i remember our Mom taking us downtown on the bus to see the Christmas Lights on State Street i think, or maybe Michigan Ave.
Boring!
Then don't watch cup cake!
Thank you. I went to combat but I never did forget that they watched for me
I remember this like it was yesterday they were talking about doing this in humble Park, and the Cabrini Green area. I believe they did one episode in the Cabrini Green area, but the officers refuse to do one in humble part of fear of getting shot and retaliate against the old family.
