A budget crisis and skyrocketing crime has forced the Democrat Utopia of Chicago to implement austerity measures to free up police to handle emergencies only. In other words, unless your life is in danger, don’t call 911:

DAILY MAIL – Victims of ‘non-threatening’ crimes such as burglaries, thefts, and simple assault in Chicago will no longer be visited by officers when they call 911.

Chicago police are now enforcing an austere new measure where officers are not dispatched to scenes where the offender has fled and where no one is in immediate danger.

The Windy City is in the middle of both a crime and budget crisis, with sprees of violence erupting, even as first responders are forced to drastically slash their budgets.

The Chicago Tribune reports that officers of the Chicago Police Department will no longer be dispatched to handle less dangerous crimes. The measures went into effect on Sunday.

The news comes as Chicago faces a violent crime epidemic, with nearly 50 homicides and 170 shootings already this year, and had 506 murders in 2012. …

New York City, which has a population roughly three times the size of the Midwestern city, had a 2012 murder rate of 414 people.

But Chicagoans aren’t happy about the new change. ‘I think that’s ridiculous,’ one resident told CBS Chicago. ‘I think if there’s a burglary, they’ve got to come. It’s what we pay for. They have to come.’

Sounds like it’s time for a PSA telling the citizens to arm themselves because their personal protection is firmly now in their hands. Nah, guns are the problems.

Liberal gun bans work. Proof is seen here in Chicago. Low gun crimes. Idiots.

Someone should look at the municipal budget to see what frivolous programs they decided to keep, at the sacrifice of public safety, life and order.

Chicago 911 calls will now be answered only by the Cook County Coroner.

I thought 911 was already just for emergencies otherwise you should call the administrative office (or just do not waste your or their time).

Well, if the police will not protect the average citizens, then who will? Maybe they can go back to the old wild west days and hire a sheriff for individual neighborhoods? It all comes down to a lawman protecting people with a gun. Some things never change.

I don't need no 'stinking' lawman! I've got lead-slingers.

To all the "Lawmen" who repeatedly stand up behind Obama and all the rest of the 2nd Amendment infringers:

F*ck You! Right in the ear!

Try upholding the law! One of the biggies is enshrined in the second amendment. I'll call 911 after I kill the perps, mmkay!?

Bring a janitorial crew! Otherwise, get bent, you bunch of donut guzzling slobs!

And remember when O said he wants to model national gun control after Chicago? Well that kinda says it doesn't it.

Chicago, owned by Democrats, run by gang-bangers, paid for by working tax payers. Gang bangers have guns and a fighting chance, law abiding citizens don't stand a chance.

We won't protect you and you're not allowed to protect yourself. Have a nice day.

I wonder what the death tax in Chicago is....the federal just went up

Chicago is like a mini version of the country at large. They elected a mayor who was ineligable to run for office. We elected a president who was ineligable to run for office. Both Obama and Emmanuel live in a bubble and personally prosper while they govern their city/country into the ground.

If you live in Chicago, your life is constantly in danger, by virtue of your zipcode.

Thats nice. Make it much harder to get a firearm to protect yourself while now adding stall tactics and reasons to not show-up until it's too late or not even showing up at all to help.

Unleash the looters! Murderers will join them. If you want a cop, move next door to a Dunkin Donuts?

The need for donuts is an ongoing 911 level emergency.

No, not what you paid for but what you voted for, stupid ignorant asswipes!

Just like over here. People here don't even expect the police to show up any longer when burgled. All we get is an 'incident number', which we can use for the insurance claim.

That's why I'm happy to share my home with my attack housewolf - the barking leaves nobody in doubt than entering unauthorised will have consequences ...

Housewolf is part of that self-defense! You can teach it online and never leave the protection of the housewolf :)

A heavy meat clever will work very well for you. Just get a good restaurant style one. Have your local butcher sharpen it for you unless you have a relative that can hone a good edge.

They get what they deserve... if they're truly that ignorant, then turn their town over to crime and despair (see Detroit). The best solution is once again to leave if you can and relocate to somewhere that hasn't been taken over by stupid.

And for the record, the only people I know who call 911 are those who are in danger.

Have you not heard of the infamous woman calling because she couldn't get a breakfast sandwich at McDonald's? Or how about all the calls because Leroy stole my dope that list could go on for days!!! Or that famous "I need a bambalance"

The problem is they need to teach their operators how to route a call. My truck got broken into and I called 311. The 311 operator connected me to 911. Lost my connection called 311 again and again was connected to 911. The 911 operator while transferring me discinnected me so once again I dialed 311 and ONCE AGAIN they connected me to 911 and the operator got an attitude with me saying I'm connecting you to THE NON EMERGENCY NUMBER. So I got an attitude back saying I didn't dial 911 in the first place I dialed 311 THEY transferred me to YOU! Then when I finally got to talk to the police they said well we don't send anybody out unless something is missing. I said I didn't know if anything was cause I didn't touch anything. They said to check and call them back! Rather than stay on the line with me while I checked. So there was something missing and again I called them back 311 got routed to 911 then to the police where I was told they STILL were not going to come out that they just take reports over the phone. This was a few months ago mind you. Another car was robbed and three garages that night after mine! Maybe if a cop came out they'd have seen the guy breaking into these other places. I forsee the shootings going up do to people now knowing they're on their own now!

As long as it isn't the sludge moving to destroy other communities. They need to fix the issue not spread it throughout the country.

Gun control kills people.

I can't think of the name of the movie, but in an old Charles Bronson flick, he goes vigilante in NYC. And lo & behold people stand up for themselves & crime drops.

All part of the plan for "O" to step in and help.

This is what was meant by forward…

On the flip side one can do pretty much anything they want and get away with it. People should arm themselves, handle their own security, and dispose of the results. Who was it that said, "it will bring about a return to the wild west"?
