J-Fled Spin Control

Even we're getting dizzy:

• An additional 600 Chicago Police officers will be on duty Sunday to help accommodate demands at Taste of Chicago and the city's three lakefront fireworks shows, Police Supt. Jody Weis said on Saturday.

So are these the canceled days off people or the canceled cancellations from today? Because we know for a fact that pulling 600 officers from anywhere but the RDO groups is an impossibility. That means HQ people mainly.

Then J-Fled is fluffing for Shortshanks, who seems to be mysteriously silent:

• Chicago's top cop on Friday sought to reassure the public that his force could maintain order at the Taste of Chicago over the weekend, a day after three people were stabbed near the festival.

  "For the first six days this has been a terrific event," said Chicago Police Supt. Jody Weis. "Last night things got a little bit out of hand, and we were able to quickly bring it back into line."

  Sources said Weis plans to beef up the police presence during the afternoon shift Sunday, the last day of the Taste, and for the fireworks on the lake. The sources said all officers who normally work that shift -- including some who had been scheduled to have the day off -- will be working and in uniform, including some plain-clothes detectives. Police spokesman Roderick Drew would only say that there will be "additional resources . . . throughout the city.''

The guy under the bus is always the last to know. Anyone else getting that vibe?

And does anyone have the numbers so far for shootings/killings? The over/under was 40 shot/7 dead and we heard its right on pace. Vegas didn't consider stabbings though.
