this is disturbing, as just the other day coming home from work at 5am there was a group of hispanic men lurking in the door ways of the corner of Olive and Clark. Looks like safe nights are now a thing of the past.
I know when Dispatch has the number listed as Anonymous they don't have access to the number at all. I only heard the tail end of that exchange last night.
Did you also notice last night that there seemed to be a lot of Anonymous calls that lead to cops going to calls that seemed to be false ones.
There was also the public Roll Call, and then a shooting that happened right around the same time in Rogers Park. I only heard bits of that one as well (was working on a major project for parts of last night so wasn't always paying good attention).
