Does anyone know who the Det. is that was stripped due to a hit and run accident on the south side? Claimed that the car was stolen...
Its a P.O. from narcotics- good guy I won't say his name - the case was C.I. by ASA
WHAT DOES c.i. BY asa MEAN
If you don't know what C.I. means, you are not the police.
thanks 9:55
I think the PO was actually assigned to 005, but detailed to Homan square, something about light duty
MSNBC.Com-US House Leader Tom DeLay indicted with conspiracy in a campaign financing scheme. What's with the GOP implosion ?

this is just the start of the indictments- it's gonna feel like Nixon's 2nd term pretty soon, bodies dropping everywhere
The next Deput. Supt. how about BOZO THE CLOWN he,s funny everyone loves him and he,s SMARTER then DIRTY DICK DALY EDDIE THE JERK BURKE an CLINE.
Hey M!
Where is the link to the story of Republican honcho and Bush buddy Tom DeLay being indicted? he was acting like a sissy denying the charges.
Limpdickisthebest pipes up. Posts a lot less since he got called out for constantly talking about himself. Must take days to have a thought not about himself.
Just saw on the news the incident in 005 where guy pointed a gun at police, but got away. What helicopter was used in the seach, CFD?
>>
take a look at the DA in texas bringing this case the guy is a political Hack and democratic fund raising star he makes Kathlene harris look independent and neutral this is partisan politics at its worse much worse than chicago we have only one party here<<
I stole this from a post on another website:
>>Earle answer in his own words:
"The thinly veiled personal attacks on me by Mr. DeLay's supporters in this case are no different from those in the cases of any of the 15 elected officials this office has prosecuted in my 27-year tenure. Most of these officials - 12 Democrats and three Republicans - have accused me of having political motives. What else are they going to say?
For most of my tenure the Democrats held the power in state government. Now Republicans do. Most crimes by elected officials involve the abuse of power; you have to have power before you can abuse it."

I'm just sayin... I'm a Republican, and the only part of this indictment that I regret is the harm it causes the party beyond what he's already done by being an ass. Though he's no Daley.
Hey 1096,
You want to go all the way back to Clinton, ten years ago. Ok. How about 4 years ago when Bush was acting like a sissy sitting there reading a children's book for seven minutes while America was under attack. Pussy.
Just watched the news. Cameras to be put in squad cars. Niiiiiiiiiiiiice maybe we should all just stop doing traffic stops.
Yeah, Dubya blows worse than a Hurricane- press conference partyin' in Arizona and California while the South sank- a pitiful Pinocchio puppet without his Geppetto Karl Rove to pull the right strings! It's HARD WORK sucking this bad! "Pay no attention to the sock-puppet currently in charge!" "It's THEIR fault!" You blindfolded R.N.C. water-carriers! Only three and a third more years of this futility for you info-lie-pushers- silly sisyphean phoolz! Enjoy it- we certainly are!
Superintendent Cline Announces Pilot Program
to Install Cameras in Squad Cars, Expands Entrance
Exam Access to Strengthen Diversity
For Immediate Release
September 28, 2005
Chicago Police Superintendent Philip J. Cline today outlined several steps the Chicago
Police Department has implemented to enhance mutual trust and understanding
between police officers and members of the community. Some of those initiatives
include making the entrance exam more accessible, bolstering training and introducing
a pilot program to install cameras in Chicago Police squad cars.
“This summer, we have engaged the community in an ongoing discussion about traffic
stops, about courtesy and demeanor and about officer and citizen accountability,” said
Superintendent Cline. “While we continue our remarkable work to reduce crime,
prevent violence and strengthen the quality of life in all of Chicago’s communities, we
also must be ever mindful of the work we need to do to build mutual trust between the
police and those we serve.”
Today, the Department announced today that it would launch a pilot program to install
cameras in a minimum of 12 squad cars.
The commitment stems from community feedback and from a desire to take every step
necessary to ensure that traffic stops occur safely and professionally.
Superintendent Cline has formed a committee that is visiting other jurisdictions, crafting
policy regarding how the cameras will be utilized and is seeking funding sources to
expand the pilot program and install cameras on a more permanent basis.
Preliminary estimates indicate that equipping one squad car with digital video capacity
could cost up to $5,000. There are currently 3,000 marked and unmarked cars in the
Department’s fleet. The Department will aggressively seek state funding for the program
and will explore what Federal grants are available.
With an eye toward strengthening diversity within the ranks, Superintendent Cline also
announced measures to make the Chicago Police entrance exam more accessible.
Next year, the exam will be administered once a quarter, instead of just once or twice a
year.
“I am proud of our efforts to further diversify the Chicago Police Department,” said
Superintendent Cline. “I have asked faith leaders and elected officials to assist us in our
ongoing recruiting efforts. I have restored the cadet program to encourage more young
people to consider careers in law enforcement. If we can make the application and testing
program more accessible and open, then we can strengthen diversity.”
Over the next two years, every Chicago Police officer will receive updated diversity
training. This is part of a broader effort to provide all officers with the latest instruction at
the academy on a variety of subjects.
Over the short term, officers will receive updated training on the collection of data on
traffic stops via video streaming. The updated videos will reaffirm the Department’s strict
prohibition of any form of bias based policing. Superintendent Cline also underscored the
important role supervisors play in identifying potential patterns of behavior.
“Our supervisors are sworn to be ever-vigilant in their efforts to identify any kind of pattern
of behavior that may indicate whether an officer is engaged in bias-based policing,” said
Superintendent Cline. “We know that nearly every Chicago Police officer conducts his or
her work well within the law and within our rules and regulations. However, it’s our
supervisors’ responsibility to be vigilant and pro-active in this area.”
You left off the final paragraph.
"Unless our supervisor is a political hack or of royal blood. Then he will be tucked away in a unit with a take home car and a S/S day off group on 2nd watch. We don't want anything to harm their careers as their sponsors would be upset. We'll need them 10 or 15 years from now to make important police policy decisions they know nothing about"
it was one of the CFD choppers used in 005 last night--they have 3 of them.
With regards to the indictment of Tom Delay a few FACTS, must be presented for a FULL understanding of what is going on here so thoise of you can draw your own concluisions based on facts.
1. The DA in Texas tried for 2 yrs to indict Delay on charges other than this consipracy charge.
2. Only when he could not get an indictment on the initial charges did he go with concpiracy
3. A Grand Jury in this particular county is picked by the Judge (Elected Democrat)
4. This DA also threatened to Indict Kay Bailey Hutchinson but never did (so far)
5. This DA also indicted himself ,,,,yes himself
6. This indictment arises from some Texas Corporations donating $$ to The RNC who in return allegedly funded Republicans running for election in Texas which resulted in a redistricting giving the Republicans a majority in the State house and senate.
7. I guess only the Democrats can do this and it's OK but when a Republican does this it's wrong.
8. So whether u like Delay or not this is the jist of what happened, certainly no Republican implosion.
9. SHADY give your keyboard a break!!!
5,000 for a stinkin camera and recording device. Where they gettin those...Daley's relatives,friends,etc...as usual. Lemme see the bid announcement. Let's see 3,000 times 5,000. Can you do the math? $15 mil. But that could buy a few more wrought iron fences. Oh, wait the polls are turning, better spend it on the popo.
It sure will be fun to let some of this footage out and let the public see the side of the citizens that only we see. Show that shit on the news and see how we are treated, disrespected, and expected to just sit there and take it. That would be a first. Once the idiots get on TV maybe then this city will have a true appreciation for the FINEST.
I can see it now..."but I'm a state senator...a state senator..FOR THE THIRD TIME, get the fuck back in the car like I said."
Will we be able to watch VHS tape movies on them like the State Police do? If so I'm all for it.
6:42 hit the nail on the head ! I personaaly would like a camera on my car. I believe the reason the camera "experiment" from a few years back "failed". Think about it. Proof the cop was right and the jerkoff calling ops was full of crap. What would happen to ops? And speaking of ops, with the drop in cr's from the sworn affidavit, the budgetary problems, why not a reduction in ops personal? 50% reduction + in cr's should equal a reduction of equal proportions. I think we can all figure that 1 out.
$5000.00 a pop ? I better start making some polital contrubutions and get my "minority" company goin' now. A quick check at Gals found a system for $4500. And if you equip all the cars, I'm sure the city wouldn't even think of asking MY company for a volume discount. I'm in the money,I'm in the money ....
I like the BOZO thing. Cline could use the MAGIC ARROWS to pick out the merit appointments.
The copper was rwoc. But the stripper got to him first
"Awww, cram-it clownie!"
Ya know Fat Phil kinda looks like Ringmaster Ned. We gotta find him a Black Top Hat!
Bozo, that's it. Promotions could be made using the Bucket Game.
Bucket no. 1 = P/O.
Bucket no. 2 = Det.
Bucket no. 3 = Sgt.
Bucket no. 4 = Lt.
Bucket no. 5 = Capt.
Bucket no. 6 = Exempt.(plus a Schwinn bike and a silver dollar).
Nah, Phil would blow out the tires!
I am sure some partners will be caught on tape doing the nasty. It will happen I know it. With Cameras in the squad.
I can see Ron Hubberman as the clown. Young boys sitting on his lap and Ron saying...nope its not my fingers... LOOK! Guess again what it is?
To 12:35 am post,
I'm looking for a few good men,
PARIS HILTON
Ill bet Supt Phil Cline, is clad there were no cameras around when he was in narcotics. they would have caught him RACKING IN ALL THAT CASH HE GRABBED.
