School Check @ Mozart, Drinkers In Mozart Park

Good morning, everyone, it's 9:15am. It's a sunny morning with temps in the upper 70s. Today's supposed to get to around 90, and with clouds and possibly rain. Today is the first day back to school for the regular track CPS schools, in addition to the year-round schools which are going back after a 3-day weekend. So basically, all CPS schools are in session today. That's a good and bad thing. The kids are off the streets now, but now we're going to hear about them fighting and causing disorder in school. This also builds up tensions between certain groups, gangs, etc. But I'm remaining hopeful that this year for all CPS students will be nothing but safe and productive. Today, I'm monitoring 25 until 2:50pm, then I will be monitoring 17 from 3:20 to 3:30, then I'll come back to Zone 12 at 4:10. From 2:50 to 3:20 and 3:30 to 4:10, I'll be covering other Zones for my other blog. Here's crime for today.

Most of those calls of "man with a gun" are bogus. Folks will say that to try to get the cops there faster. After a while, the cops don't believe these calls, so they take their time. But there's always a few who just love their blue lights and sirens. They'll come in flying hot...There's one cop in 25 who they call "Blue light Bob" he's always coming.
