So I'm just still just floored by the hypocrisy evident in the Rockford Register Rag....
see, when LarryBoy and Chief Chet LIE TO THE CITIZENS...we get excuses....
"...Winnebago County, with Rockford feeding it, has the highest crime rate in Illinois — again. There was a one-year break in the top spot in 2007 when Winnebago County saw a 12.8 percent drop and the city of Rockford saw its rate drop 14.4 percent, according to Illinois Uniform Crime Reporting statistics....
It was just last month that headlines touted serious crime was down 17.6 percent in Rockford, according to data released by the city. When less serious crimes were included, crime was down 8.1 percent from 2008...."

they go on with THIS kinda crap..."In 2006, when the department started using the system, Epperson said it would help him use more hard data and analysis and less anecdote and gut instinct to combat crime.

That’s the way police work should be done.

For the layman, however, the data may not be as useful, especially when it is not put in context.

If you’re confused, that’s OK. Again, the most important question is: Do you feel safe in your own neighborhood? In the parts of town you visit?"


Just SAY IT....LARRYBOY AND HIS CHIEF LIED!!!
