Sgt. Innocent of Racial Profiling Meeks Says!
Clear this Sergeant already. According to reports on Channel 5 -
- "The next reason I got out is because I have one of the most identifiable faces in Roseland," Meek said. "Since I instructed the driver to go around the police car and we were stopped, I felt it was my responsibility to get out and start a dialogue."
Identifiable to whom? As far as we can tell, this sergeant doesn't live in Roseland, doesn't worship in Roseland and probably doesn't vote in Roseland. Maybe the sergeant doesn't even own a television. Why would he recognize reverend meeks in a routine traffic stop? Does this seem overly pompous to anyone but us?
And he (meeks) "instructed the driver to go around the police car" which everyone agrees was stopped at the intersection. Excuse me? THIS ISN'T RACIAL PROFILING!! The reverend has just admitted that he instructed his driver to BREAK THE GODDAMNED LAW! Game Over! Maybe the sergeant saw a dope deal going down. Maybe the sergeant saw some drag racers flying down the street at high speed. Maybe the sergeant saw a little old lady crossing the street and gave her some time to get across. Regardless, just because you are a quasi-famous, semi-recognizable state senator/preacher DOESN'T MEAN YOU GET TO DISREGARD TRAFFIC LAW!
The simple fact that meeks is calling in political favors and having TV and radio stations cover his nonsensical ranting and has a tame first deputy to push around tells us that he is losing this battle. Of course, the mayor could still push the "dump" button on this sergeant and shaft him big time, but if you go to the channel 5 news site, there is a survey there and it's running 70% to 30% IN FAVOR OF THE POLICE. Be sure you go there and vote. SOON. NOW!!!!!!
UPDATE: Hey Frank and Fran? Why not write a story about the reverend admitting his "racial profiling" was a big publicity stunt? You two pinheads sure fell for it big time.

The Reverend State Senator James T. Meeks started this whole media feeding frenzy when he accused the unidentified European-American sergeant of that VOLATILE buzz phrase "RACIAL PROFILING".
I defy ANYONE to demonstrate any evidence whatsoever of "RACIAL PROFILING".
Furthermore, it is also my understanding that the sergeant was NEVER charged with violation of G.O. 01-04, II, A ("Racial Profiling").
Ergo, if Meeks had NOT mentioned the explosive words "RACIAL PROFILING", the incident would NOT have been reported in the media.
According to media accounts and in the "worst case scenario", the sergeant rationally perceived a threat when Meeks alighted from the auto. As any street-wise veteran would do, he drew his weapon and told the subject to "get back in the fuckin' car."
TRANSPARENT POLITICS! Meeks should publicly apologize to the sergeant for making the bogus and highly inflamatory allegation of "RACIAL PROFILING".
Rumor has it that the driver of the auto was found guilty on all traffic violations this morning.
Meeks has publicly stated that he told the driver to make the traffic violations. I also understand that Meeks let his driver go to Traffic Court WITHOUT an attorney. What a guy?
Can anyone confirm the Traffic Court disposition?
This whole thing is total bullshit!
How bout feelings about our superintendent who graciously fed the sergeant to the wolves....he is nothing but a mouthpiece for Daley...time to retire and go Buffet surfing till you explode!
Just received this e-mail from the FOP.
THE BIS D-2 SELECTION PROCESS.
Exam results for the Investigative Logic Test (ILT) of the BIS D-2 selection process were mailed out on Monday, 8 August 2005. Candidate score letters were
mailed to the address indicated by each candidate on 23 April at the ILT held at Lane Tech High School and Steinmetz High School.
Any questions regarding your results must be placed in writing and directed to The Chicago Police Department, Personnel Division, Unit 123, 3510 S. Michigan

Officers have 30 days to file written complaints about the ILT portion of the exam. Complaints should be filed with CPD's Personnel Division. Lt. Lyle Myers is the point person for the exam.
information on meeks driver is correct. guilty of all 4 traffic violations. no lawyer in traffic court.
what happened to not taking beefs over traffic? also, why is OOPS handling a verbal abuse complaint? just give him his video training and counseling form and get it over with. why do we need another civilian oversight board when the mayor runs the dept anyway?
I've seen MEeks on TV and if I stopped him I might recognize him, but not be able to put a name to the face.
I just finished watching 5 news at 10, no mention of this poll. If it favors police, they will probably never put it on TV.
Hey boys and girls don't do anything the least bit controversial, Daley and Klein will throw you to the wolves, Daley remembers how police issues orchestrated by Congressman Metcalf and Renault Robinson galvanized the community against his father. Forget all that standup and supporting the troops stuff we are merely cannon fodder or collerateral damage to be used or misused in Daleys quest for his next election. Its about money and power and the keys to the kingdom, we don't matter.
Ole Filmore Ranger...where's your wife?
Sucking DICK! (LOL)!!!!
Even if I saw Meeks in person, I wouldnt recgonize him... They all look alike to me !!!!!!!!
Saw Meeks on TV he looks like a walking IR number
FACT: Mr. Terry Booker, the driver, who was merely following the orders of Rev. Meeks, was found guilty of all four traffic violations Monday morning. He was NOT represented by counsel. Rev. Meeks made no appearance.
Favorite sound clip from TV news about the racial profiling hootenanny at 45th & Princeton last night. An unknown black clergyman speaking.
"This is not about Reverend Meeks! This is about POOKIE...about LEROY...about SHANIQUA...about JUNEBUG..."
My all-time favorite while working 002. A teenage girl at 4120 Prairie bldg. with the name "VaJina". With all due respect to Agent 007 and Ms. Galore, you get only one guess about her nickname.
Todays Sun Times said the driver got found guilty of having no insurance. Was this Meek's car that he was driving. Is Meek's above the law and dosen't have to buy vehicle insurance?
BESIDES BEING A DAMN RASIST, MEEKS DEMANDED POLICE SERVICE FOR HIS CHURCH (TRAFFIC CONTROL), WHICH HE WAS TOLD TO "POUND SAND" IN NOT SOO MANY WORDS... SECOND, ALL OF HIS BODYGUARDS ARE OFF DUTY CPD, SO WTF??? YOU THINK THAT OF ALL PEOPLE, THE POLICE WOULD KNOW. THE SGT IS BEING SCREWED BIG TIME IN THIS INCIDENT!
do you think the odpo's are gonna get any time for having unauthorized secondary employment? It is against G.O. isn't it?
Does anyone recall that MEEKS is the spiritual adviser to the pornographer--child molester--urine fetish superstar named R. Kelly----what a role model for the AA community
Be open-minded. What red-blooded male doesn't occasionally enjoy urinating on nude teenage girls?
R. Kelly is a role model.
Dont forget he is also counselling Mel Reynolds, another registered sex offender. Its okay to degrade black women and children its a Mans right, isnt it Reverend?
How many white people were murdered or shot in Chicago Rev. Meeks so far this year?
Black on Black Crime is like the war in Irag. Just the shootings and the sexual assaults?
Why doest Frankie Main at the Scum Times look at those numbers or Ms.Mary Mitchell, who blames the police for the Black mans plight.
I wonder how the decent law abiding Black middle class can put up with this constant BS. They move to the burbs.
Play the race card Meekster, your lucky your not in South Africa, only in America can a thug be treated like a king.
THE REALITY IS....

F---The SERGEANT, you getting in trouble for the past racial profiling you've done and was not caught, Mutha Fucka.
I am so sick of all the hype about racial profiling, back in the 80's whites were routinely stopped in 007, for being white (yes, they were usually there to buy drugs or to pick up hookers) but noone called it profiling. Whenever I get the accusation "You doin' this cuz' I be black", my response is "No, because you broke the law" and I also like to point out to the person that the victim is black, so how can I be picking on them for being black. But then again alot of these punks (and their mama's think its ok to do whatever they want to their own.
I dont totally agree with the last post because back in the 80's there was not alot of black officers in Englewood. Even though it was a predominent African American community, not a lot of Black was on the job unitl Harold Washington opened the doors. So if they were profiled it was by their own. just like 008 dont have not one black officer on the TACT TEAM, and they have to borrow black officers to conduct a reverse. NOW that is true racial profiling. and the rest of the district were the same way until they realized that they couldn't conduct reverses without BLACKS. You can't tell me that there is not one black officer good enough for 008 TACT
I've been on this job for 20yrs and have never been so disgusted with the service towards other P.O's.
Why is it that mostly all the 008th District Police Officers (not coppers or the Police)because they never will be, have their head up their Ass?
Adolph is right---if Meeks and others like him would concentrate more on helping their community lift themselves up instead of wasting time trying to get his mug in the paper, the blacks might have a chance.....instead he is teaching his people to blame everyone else for their plight...but why shoudn't he...he is taking all that cash from the house of hope and building quite a kingdom....
