Chicago-area officials trying to prevent funerals for gang members from turning into shootouts say the issue has gotten so far “out of control” that one cemetery has started hiring off-duty police officers.

Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart met Thursday with political, religious and funeral industry leaders to discuss the problem following a funeral procession in December that was marred by gunfire.

"It's getting out of control, it really is,” Hillside Police Chief Joseph Lukaszek told FOX 32. “The gangs just think that it's a safe haven for them and they do whatever they want to do.”

Dart – who hopes to come up with proposals ready to be put into action by May – says the shootings have been escalating “over the last ten to 15 years from where it was not much of a problem… to now it occurs more frequently.”

He told FOX 32 that at least one cemetery has been hiring off-duty cops whenever a gang member is set to be buried.

John McCall, a local funeral director, said he's increasingly worried about the safety of his employees.

"It is dramatic for the families and very dramatic even for the funeral directors, the violence that's going on and all the things that's happening. Guns and knives,” he said.

In December, Lukaszek himself rammed his squad car into a vehicle carrying three people suspected of firing at a funeral procession that was heading to Oakridge Cemetery.

Police wrestled the car’s four occupants to the ground and found guns on three of them.

"We were able to identify the car, and we started following the car after it left the cemetery so it wouldn't create any more problems there,” Lukaszek said.

Exactly. All they need is a sign that says gun free zone, and voila the problem is solved.

Thugs killing thugs in a city that welcomed the situation with their liberal policies.

My pillow is still dry from all the tears not falling on it.

You'd think letting them have at it would be more effective.

"Gotten" out of control?
You guys ever take time to notice the utter dipshittery that comes out of police mouths?
How many funeral shootouts is "within control" for you mouth-breathers?

I guess it's been a long time now since Police Chief Charles Moose went on TV during the DC Sniper rampage. After they killed the kid he got plenty of airtime saying something to this effect - that they'd gone too far. Because killing all those adults was apparently within acceptable levels of cold-blooded murder.

I have a theory, and it's only a theory, that they subconsciously speak this way because they know that random acts of unpreventable violence is how they stay in power - but that if those acts get too frequent, then the curtain is drawn back, and we can see that the Great and Powerful Oz is not just powerless, but also completely unnecessary.

In other words, "too far" means "someone is screwing up our free lunch".

And how many controls do these pricks want, when they're more than incompetent with the many we've signed over to them?
