Interesting FOP Meeting
Swung by the meeting today, just for fun (note to FOP: don't bother going through the sign-in books, we didn't bother today --- or did we?) and observed a few things that desperately cried out for commentary:
- Recently expelled members attempted to gain entry into the meeting, but were rebuffed by the Sergeants-at-Arms. They left looking (in our opinion) kind of satisfied, as if they had proved some point by being denied entry into the building owned by an organization they no longer belong to. Does anyone have any idea what that was all about?
- Steve Robbins, candidate for the Pension Board, was telling people at meeting that although he was approved by the board to seek reimbursement for up to $5,000 dollars in his bid to become the patrolmen representative, he would not submit any receipts for reimbursement and instead was running out of his own pocket, as his opponents are. This seems to remove what was becoming a large issue in the campaign. Robbins also had copies of all his timecards for the past few years demonstrating that he was, in fact, on his own time and not the city's dime when he attended Pension Board meetings.
Just to be clear, THIS IS NOT AN ENDORSEMENT OF STEVE ROBBINS. But unnamed and anonymous postings on this site and those of other candidates liberally tossed about the accusation that Robbins was on city time when attending meetings. It appears to us that this rumor can be laid to rest.
We make no judgments as to the possible reimbursement of the $5,000 dollars however. It would seem to us that the possibility of recovering out of pocket expenses for an election might enable a candidate to spend a little more lavishly than one who is not backed, but Robbins agreeing not to seek reimbursement renders this moot. We would prefer maybe something along the lines of the Federal Election Commission that provides "matching funds" up to a certain limit for qualified candidates, but that in and of itself would seem to be counterproductive to an endorsed candidacy.
What say the readers? In light of one of the more gentlemanly campaigns conducted by all parties, we are actually taking an interest in this election as we haven't in the past.
UPDATE: Thanks to Fitzgerald, King and the other guys cooking at the BBQ after the meeting. Tasty eats as always.

Thats boring lets start post on 016 horror stories!!!!! Or if southsider 008!!!!! Both are dog ass districts, well 016 takes the cake.....
016 is not the slow district it used to be. A number of new people have come to the district so it cant be as bad as you are saying.
Im glad robbins isnt taking the money. The fop should have given all three guys a portion of that money or just let them go it alone.
Whats the deal with FOP kicking out 2 guys. What did they do to cause them to be ejected?
Go start your own website then. Jeez, can't you stop talking about how much you hate "slow" districts for 5 minutes? I for one salute the moderator for not constantly going on about the street and the job and actually expanding into the inner workings of the union and baseball and a dozen other topics. If I wanted to hear war stories and complainsts all the time, I'd go to the bar.
They went to the media and lied. I guess the by-laws say "KEEP YOUR SHIT IN YOUR OWN HOUSE" if you don't you can be kicked out.
I won't be surprised a bit if there won't be a few more tossed out in the future for the same reason.
For the good of the order ya know. LOL
What are the lies that they were suppose to have told the media?
I work in 016 now,but ive worked in a number of other districts. You have dogs in all districts including 016. But I know guys who work in 016 as well.

Tierney, you have such a chip on your shoulder. Steve is a great guy, end of story! You are just a stroke.
As for the kids it's not their fault but they don't belong there. It's a union meeting! Do you bring your kids to the bar and let them run around! GET a clue, coppers don't want to hear screaming kids. That's what sitters are for.
Are you going to take the kids to the pension board when your wife has court? SHHHHEEEEESSHHH If you can afford $4000.00 for your campaign bust the wallet out for a sitter. Don't do it for yourself, do it for your kids! You selfish BASTARD!
What in God's name would make you take your kids around all that cigarette smoke and liquor.
Tierny
Ya just lost my vote The guy says he aint taking any money from FOP
I have no reason to doubt his word
Isnt his word as good as yours?
And as for the Sgt at Arms asking your bride to quiet her children, the union meeting is not open to non members ie your beautiful children.
Calling him a stroke is at best in approrpiate and speaks volumes about your charactar
Drop a double sawbuck on a baby sitter
Youre going to force me to vote for Janz
robbins NOW refuses the money because it was damaging his run for the pension board. My hat off to this site because this subject while boring to some is of the utmost importance. Communication is the biggest threat to secret actions. The first order of business for a dictator is control communication. Robbbins got his hand caught in the cookie jar and now he says he is sorry! Robbins you lost the trustee election and now you are going to lose the pension seat anyway the first district needs you so badly. Anybody but Robiins.
Ive been left high and dry at least 4 times calling off duty while living in 016. Then when a unit finally arrives you get treated like a wil dawg from the west side for bothering them.
As I said....my ballot went straight into the garbage. What a political fiasco. I wonder when the real war begins?
The Tierney mailing embarassed Robbins into not taking the $5000.00 of your FOP Money. Robbins sat at tha last Board of Directors meeting when they endorsed him and the FOP voted to give Robbins the money without saying a word. If the money had not become an issue Robbins would have keep his hand out. However, Tierney's mailing aleast forced Robbins and the FOP to step back and say OPPS - Someone caught our hand in the cookie jar. My vote goes to Jans, Koziel or Tierney.
Why should there be kids at an FOP meeting crying when all of the members are already doing such a great job of it.
Tierney is a stroke. Way to go Robbins for making it a non-issue. How wise can you be when you have sucha good salary and can't afford a babysitter. You aren't going to be given the opportunity to play with my money.
re:016
If you're such a bad ass copper, go up there and work.
You must be one of the jagoffs that drinks at Teasers on the weekends and sneaks out the back door when the on-duty police show up to clean up your mess. Pussy.
Hey,High and dry in 016. Ive gone to calls where 016 units were falling over each other to respond to a call by a fellow officer. There are times when there are no cars available to respond to minor calls,even by the police.
Keep in mind that 016 is one of the largest districts in the city. On a busy day I could be on patrol at belmont and cicero,then be sent to edison park for a domestic,It happens.
A Large number of city workers live in 016.I think the vast majority would agree that they receive quality police service.
For those who bash the 016 district coppers . Next time there are opening in 016 put your bid in or stop your bitching .
I responded to a 10-1 called in by an off-duty sheriffs deputy. The officer called in because a M1 was urinating in the park across the street. Certainly the police should respond to such a call. I dont think this is a 10-1. We had 7 cars down for 30 min.looking for the offender. I wonder if other od were calling for service at the time. I think we do the best we can,the dog-ass comment is uncalled for.
If the police service in 016 is so bad move out!!! Most of these guys who bitch about service arnt in the best frame of mind when they call for service. Ask a PO how they were treated when 016 POs were called to a domestic. Ive always gone out of my way to handle it in a positive manner.
FACT: Robbins was going to take the $5000 until Tierney called him on it.
Coppers in 016 always being sent to 011, 025. Can't even keep a gang team in district. Why don't you bitch about that?
Please expand on the two guys thrown out of the FOP. What did they lie to the media about? Anyone know any specifics? Just want to know.
Call the FOP and ask if you want to know so bad.
FACT: Robbins was going to take the $5000 until Tierney called him on it.

Wow! We have a mind reader here on the board. Quick Carnac, what are the lottery numbers tonight?
To the 9:21 post you make me laugh. You are probably one of these 2 yrs. on the pussy who grew up in Park Ridge, WildWood Park, Oriole Park,etc... who thinks because he works in a ghetto district and know wears a badge, carry's a gun now makes him a bad ass, you are a fucking joke. You have 4'-00" tall little barbie dolls working in 011,015,002,007.etc... and that doesnt make you the police. So if you have any problems with 016 or coppers in the district why dont you bring your ass to 5151 N. Milwaukke and talk shit , Im sure you will find a couple of dogs that will hand you your ass!!!!!!!
Hey I grew up in Park Ridge and coppers there are badass compared to 016. Atleast they would stop a m/1 and ask what he is doing there. 1631 bt cars have to be the worst dogass coppers in city....
If you have enough time on the job bid to 016 and take care of business and you also contradict yourself i thought you daid 016 is slow.If you see criminal activity taking place while off-duty take action or are you to scare because you dont have a radio or a sqaud car to be the police?
Carnac Predicts: Steve Robbins as the winner of the Pension Board Trustee
Robbins 5,467
Tierney 5
Janz 52
other guy 112
Post 1 and 2. I share the zone with 008 ( I'm in 007) it is now one of the busiest districts in the city, years ago it was a retirement dist. 016 is still a very slow dist. the only way you couldn't think so is if you spent your career in the 019,020,023,016 rotation. We had a Lt. from there telling us the stats on agg. batts and homicides.....016 is a suburb. Great place to live, but lets not pretend you are doing any hard core policing.
016 is the police hahahahahahaha, best laugh I have had all day. Dont get me wrong I respect a 016 copper that did his time in the ghetto than went to 016 to retire, good for you. If you came on the job and went to 016 you have 1 year experience how many years you have on ie: 10 years in 016 thats 1 year of experience 10 times over. I understand its a slow district and cops go there to relax, fine but dont come on these boards claiming how dam busy you guys are cause in truth you are not. Being back logged in noise and teen disturbances isnt my idea of a fast district.
Your out a order!!!!!!!!!!!!
dont kid yourself tough guy its all the same bullshit, paper jobs citywide.The only difference is a homicide and if you are the beat car asigned its still just a paper job. You make me laugh the only thing I consider busy is calls for service and we get alot of calls from off duty p.o.'s for b.s. they blow off in the districts they works if you are a badass bring it to 016 and do some work.
Fuck yourself you 016 bitch and yes I do call off duty and you know what happens nothing. I held a m/1 breaking into my car he also came at me with screwdriver. I held him down while wife called police telling 911 off duty fighing with offender. Some 016 sgt came 5 minutes later and asked me what I was doing. Oh and dont worry Capt was standup he would only approve criminal damage to property charges, what a standup boss.....so again fuck you 016!
37 miles to drive around the 016. You trying getting from Touhy/Harlem to Belmont/cicero for a 10-1. So what no open air drug mkts, Maybe an odd drive by on Belmont, were getting just as whacked as everyone else with robberies, burglaries, thefts only a larger area to patrol. We are better off with more veterans here so they can teach the young ones a little reality policeing. There are dogs in every dist.
I once remember when 016 and 017 had to send there tact teams to the projects to help out with a gang war, and guess what the 017 tact wouldnt even go in them and when 016 did I swear, but dont quote me on this that they had piss running down their leg. I mean come on its only a black guy no need to be scared.
FACT: Robbins was going to take the $5000 until Tierney called him on it.
10/19/2005 08:41:55 AM
Wow! We have a mind reader here on the board. Quick Carnac, what are the lottery numbers tonight?
FACT: No other canidate other than Mr. Robbins was offered $5000 of the FOP's/our money to run for the pension board position.
There is open air drug market its called Cathrine Courts. GDs(thats Gangster Disciples for you 016 bitches) from Cabrini run that spot. Why is there no hot spot or tact car ever there, and forget 1614 they are dogs too. If you are from 016 do some work its starting to look like shit here. If you want to be a dog ass copper go to 015.
All ya'll beeeeitches!!!
Shut the fuck with your 16 shit. Were trying to talk about the FLOP!
Who's the fag that was "fighting" with a #1 with a screw driver?? You are a homo! A really POL-eeese ghetto copper would have just shot the fucker! You are biggest disappointment ever in this Dept. Got sand in your pussy? You had your chance to bag one, now all you can do is run your mouth. I bet you work in 11 but his the hole right away, right?
FACT: No other canidate other than Mr. Robbins was offered $5000 of the FOP's/our money to run for the pension board position.
Get your shit straight already, Robbins was the only officer that asked for the endorsment of the FOP. The FOP gave others a chance to come forward and ask for an endorsement. They did not give Steve the endorsement until 3 months after he asked for it. Kevin Janz was the ONLY other officer to ask for the endorsement. Tierney only came forward after Robbins and Janz, and THEN asked the FOP not to give Robbins the $5000.00. A day late and a dollar short! SO don't let this jerk bullshit you because that's all he's doing.He's just a STROKE!
to 02:55 pm
Get your facts straight about 017 and 017 Tact. It was 2300 hrs on New Years eve and the teams (along with SOS and HBT) attempted to take one of the buildings at 42nd/Federal when they came under fire from automatic weapons shooting down the stairwells. After several tries to take the building it was determined that it was too dangerous to enter and a perimeter was set up around the building. That was Maurer's call and probably the right call.
What should that guy have shot him, who would back him up 016 brass? yeah ok.....guy couldnt even get buglary or assault charges and you think he should have shot the m/1?
Question: Why is the FOP giving any canidate money for campaining? Isn't it OUR money?
The FOP is sure great at giving our money away. $5000 to Robbins, $23 million to Daley.
Hey 7:27 am tell jail guard he is not the police if he calls a 10-1 again and one cant blame m/1 for urinating on ground in 016 hes just marking his dope sales territory.....Why is county employee living in this rothole city if he doesnt have to anyways?
What should that guy have shot him, who would back him up 016 brass? yeah ok.....guy couldnt even get buglary or assault charges and you think he should have shot the m/1?
The Street Deputy and Detectives would have come out to handle the shooting, just like in the ghetto.
"These guy's IN THE F.O.P. are like I.A.D. and O.P.S.no FAIR TREATMENT."
Tierny, the above statement alone proves that you should not get anyone's vote. Pure ignorance reflected in every word!
2:47
Since when do Watch Commanders approve felony charges (burglary is a felony)
All you "real police" bashing 016 are morons. Everytime I've called, I've had a pretty quick response, even for suspicious person calls that could have been blown off. Just like everywhere else, there are dogs who don't want to be bothered. I've worked in three different districts and three Units in the last 16 years and in everyone of them, there seemed to be cowboys, dogs, and guys who just do their job and don't worry about what everyone else is doing. SO they should stop every black guy that drives through the district now? Yeah, that's great advice. WAKE THE FUCK UP! I drive past Catherine Courts often, and I've never seen any flagrant gang/narcotic activity out in the open. ( I know Iknow, I'm obviously not the real police and wouldn't know what a gangbanger looks like, right? ) OH My GOD! You mean black people go to the White Hen there?!?!?!? How horrible! How dare they let those dirty people live in an apartment complex and area loaded with multi unit buildings? C'mon man, grow up. It's 2005 and if you haven't noticed, )016 isn't as lilly-white as it was 10 years ago. Think before you speak, junior. It won't kill you. Really.
They are elected to represent you! Don't you get it??? Just like when they endorse a politician. They support who they think is the best candidate for the members.
Go to a board meeting and find out what's going on. Address the board with your objections. They are open to all FOP memebers. Or pick up the phone and pitch a bitch with a board memeber and they will gladly explain why they did what they did.
Don't just don't listen to a guy who wasn't endorsed and seeing all the bullshit lies he's posting I see why he wasn't endorsed.
Good Luck Steve Robbins, your a class act!
Hey 5:11 the watch commander signs off on arrest report you dork and he has to approve what charges are on them, do an arrest once in awhile and 5:13 thats the attitude that makes an area go to shit you watch, see Cabrini West start to swing.....Jerk
Save your "016 horror stories" for the bar stool and the kid with 6 months on.
Hey 2:47:12 PM,
How tall are you? I'll say...5'01-5'05...Give or take 2"...am I on the money or what?
Hey 5:11 the watch commander signs off on arrest report you dork and he has to approve what charges are on them, do an arrest once in awhile and 5:13 thats the attitude that makes an area go to shit you watch, see Cabrini West start to swing.....Jerk
The ASA approves felony charges. The W/C signs off on the probable cause. Look closely at the printing on your next arrest report.
Well you know that 016 is the "Suburb in the City".
If poster was 5'1 and in 016 he would probably work 1631 they couldnt be over 5'2 and just as worthless

Reply:
I'm quite sure that Mr. Robbins is a class act, he's just hanging out with the wrong crowd (FOP).
You're right!! The FOP board is elected to represent us. Just like Daley, Storger, Blaojevich. Get the point?
Go to an FOP board meeting. I would love to, BBQ, beer, cops what could be better? The problem is work, court, kids, wife. I try to stay informed by going to the FOP website, and this website (thanks S.C.C.). Even if I did go to a meeting the board would just use Robert's Rules of Order to silence me.
Pick up the phone? I've got a better idea. Why dosen't the FOP board come out to the roll calls? Didn't they promise monthly visits when they ran against Nolan's cronies? Are they afraid to face the vast sea of blue shirts without their precious Robert's Rules?
Nolan and Donahue cut from the same cloth. Donahue was the big reformer be a part of your union but watch out if you run against him and he feels his 150,000 slipping away! The present board wonders why the attendance at the meetings is down. Dictators only like yes men no original thinkers needed!
008 a dog district? Try getting on the air Zone 6 (7 and 8). Nearly impossible from noon onwards. Almost guaranteed a backlog in both districts between 1300 and 1430 that lasts well into 3rd watch. Sure there are dogs that take their time writing paper and coding nonsense disturbances, but but even guys in 007 know, that east of pulaskit, 008 can be just as busy, not to mention if the Leclaire courts go up.
6:42
the problem with 008 is the 10 sector. A couple working cops, the rest are dog asses. Isn't one of them going to " retire" with 6 years on the job ( age requirement). Word is he's a real piece of work. Personals durring 10-1's type of crap. As far as LeClaire Courts you got me there. How would you like to live on 811's beat and the powers that be also make 811 814H to cover the ghetto on 1st watch. Thats a royal " fuck you" from some desk jerk off. As long as I've been on the job the 10 sector has fucked their own. I think they should rotate them " east of Pulaski" for a refresher course. I've even had one of them tell me, " I aint doing shit but parkers and park checks".
should't Housing send cops to leclaire courts?
Housing South was disbanded.
The idiot talking about 008 has his head up his ass. I worked in both westside districts and southside districts and would compare my patrol time to his anytime. My trousers have more time in the cleaners than he has in the patrol division. Never did I work so hard, as in 008.
the 008th district is just as bad as any fast district from 55 to 71 western to pulaski.
for both of you arguing about burglary charges, for a burglary to auto charge it only requires that the arresting p.o. call felony review for approval charges. the WC then signs it. so as long as you can articulate the charge to felony review you will get the charges. this is one of the easiet felony charges to get approved besides the one-bagger
Not if WC doesnt want that kind of crime on his watch, what dont you understand? Typical 016 bullshit he wouldnt sign off on arrest unless it was only criminal damage.
Who is that dork that works 812 afternoons that still wears his academy clorino(sp) shoes? Must not do much work if he wears his dress shoes?
lets see, 011 and 015 infamous for the one rock pinch,014 the yuppies took over the district,025 full of guys that step on their dicks,017 korea town,iraqi town,jew town etc..,023 the homos, 012 greek town,018 the night clubs,001 the shyscrapers,013 no lockup tells about the amount of prisoners, 010 the ficticious alien cards,ican go on and on.The main point is that at any given time in any of the 25 districts a P.O. can come upon a life and death cituation on any watch. Only because you are in a what you call a fast district doent mean that you and only you are capable to work there.Senoirity has alot to do where we are all at.So as the old veteran told me years ago, KID ITS ALL BULLSHIT!
To 10:02:32 PM Post:
You saw Bt 812?
You saw a Beat Car on 812 or 811? When?
Are you sure it wasn't a mirage?
The funniest thing i have seen to this point regarding the pending
For
Only
Politician
pension elections, especially in regards to TIERNEY, is that he is fond of mentioning close relationships that exist between FOP and ROBBINS, but isn't the outgoing HAUSER related to TIERNEY's wife?
Just a thought, but maybe concentrate on issues and getting what you are going to "TRY" to do when in office instead of whining about family, money or meetings.
They should make you a merit detective. If you go to Tierney's website that is linked on the SCC link area you will find this quote;
"I have spoken to Kenny Hauser on many occasions! HE IS MY WIFE'S COUSIN! Kenny has accepted an F.O.P. endorsement, and has gone out of his way to work with ALL the various F.O.P. administrations even though he has isssues with them. Kenny want's whats best for the patrolman and retired P.O.'s. and has voted as such."
Just scroll down to the portion of his website that is printed in green and you'll see it.
Now I know that Tierney is full of crap. I talked to Hauser and he said we were getting a great guy with Robbins.
"You know you can pick your friends but you can't pick your relatives."
Funny I don't hear Hauser singing Tierney's praises. Could it be Kenny knows Robbins is the best candidate for his spot!?

I'm glad to see that the Pension Board election has stimulated some conversation.
I particularly enjoy the "tierney sucks", "Tierney's a stroke" and the Carnac Vote projection. I leave my name when I post something.
As for Officer Robbins, He might be the greatest guy ever I don't know, but I have not said anything derogatory about him, I have only spoken about his endorsement from F.O.P., the cash allowance of $5000.00 and his voting record as an F.O.P. board member. Show me the lies!
As for an endorsement, I don't recall F.O.P. announcing I should go ask for one. Jans did ask for one and didn't get it. The F.O.P. board is majority F.O.P. slate, you make the decision on how they vote.
As for Ken Hauser, I didn't request an endorsement from him and I don't see him endorsing Officer Robbins or any candidate. In speaking to him last year he told me of his pending retirement and the vacant patrolman spot on the board. He said it would be a good opportunity for me. I made the decision to run.
CARRY ON THE DIALOQUE. YOU CAN SEE MY POSITIONS AT:

I will re-examine the kids issue.
below a quote from prev post.
What in God's name would make you take your kids around all that cigarette smoke and liquor.
I don't stay with kids for fraternal hour. Members make more noise than my kids.
SOLUTION: OPEN UP MEETINGS TO POLICE FAMILIES W.KIDS!
F.O.P. family auxilary would be happy to watch a bunch of kids sitting in the board room in front of a Barney video with coloring books for a 1 hour meeting. Potty Trained kids only! If you bring the kids, you bring a snack and juice boxes/milk for them.
Ask Angie, the auxilary would love it and support it.
PROBLEM SOLVED! NO KIDS AT MEETING, ENABLE MORE P.O.'S WITH KIDS TO COME AND PARTICIPATE! OR HAVE A SPEAKER BROADCAST THE MEETING INTO THE BOARDROOM WHILE PARENTS WATCH THEIR OWN KIDS COLOR AND WATCH A VIDEO.
I VOLUNTEER TO PURCHASE A TV WITH VIDEO RECORDER, SUPPLY VIDEOS AND COLORING BOOKS AND CRAYONS FOR THIS ENDEAVOR. NO CHARGE TO F.O.P..
the shitty neighborhood cut off for the 8th district isn't Pulaski anyone its Cicero, The shit is moving west boys.
P.S. shiny shoes, no vest and radio in the back pocket, lounging in signature isn't going to cut it anymore 12.
hauser can't sing against robbins even if he wanted too. Robbins is Donahue's guy and except for a few trustees they are all like drones... Voight, Hanna, Rich aguliar (FOP hockey team yes we have a fop funded hockey team etc etc FOP did not endorse Hauser the last time he ran or give him any funds, they had to this time but split the same amount they gave robbins in two. Wake up! If you dont know the facts go back to sleep
This constant ripping of other coppers or where they work is ruining this site. It's exactly what caused the other site to come down. If you got a problem with the way other coppers work, tell then to their faces, don't be a keyboard coward and say shit behind their faces. Some of ought to be ashamed! And no, I don't work in 016,019,008 or any other district that some of you THINK are slow. Don't forget. This site is on the Web which means anyone can view it. Some of the drivel you guys post is embarrasing. Show a little respect for yourself, your co-workers and the Department that employes you. The same one that enables you to have a nice house in 016, a nice car,take nice vacations once in awhile, put your kids through private school, etc. If it's so bad then quit. The Laborers Union MIGHT be able to help you find a job. I mean Jesus Christ, enough already!
I've been reading your sight with great interest and am curious, is distain for female police officers as across the board as I read it here? Are there no good female cops in Chicago...ones that work the same as the guys and haven't slept their way to a desk job....just curious as to why all the female cop bashing....surely their has to be at least one or two...that are respected???
I received a postcard from TIERNEY as did other officers. Does anyone know how TIERNEY got our addresses? He didn't buy them from the FOP,I checked.
I won't ask him because you can't get a straight answer from him.
Ken Hauser set it up through the Pension Board. Now someone else has your home address too.
Thanks Ken and John!
has Anna ever had an original thought on the FOP Board.
STRAIGHT ANSWER!!! The mailing option was offered to all candidates according to the rules of the election. I requested permission to do the mailing, I was put in touch with the printer/mailer, composed the postcard and the printer/mailer had the pension board list and did it for the agreed upon price. I never even SAW THE LIST. This is the same way John Dineen did his mailer. Officer Robbins must have used the FOP mailing list of active officers. The lists are well guarded, I don't think any candidate is allowed to look at it.
Tierney, you're full of shit.
I went to the Pension board website at:
http://www.chipabf.org/RULES.doc
NOWHERE in the election rules does it mention being allowed to send out mailings with their information.
Perhaps you were looking at the special, "Election Rules for Ken Hauser Relatives"? Oh yeah, I want YOUR family controlling my pension.
DYNASTY BABY!!!! Just like the Daleys!! Just like the Madigans!! Mi familia e su familia!!!!

as far as the 8th district is concerned, if you read te majority of the posts, no one says they're all bad. Where the problem lies is in the 10 sectr. I'm sure there are workers there too. Unfortunately if you live in 008 and need help, even the responding cops will apoligize for the slackers. The Sgts need to step up. It's well known that most crime dosen't happen in the 10 sector so the dogs gravitate to it. I personally know there are workers, mostly good responses, etc. But there's times when for what ever reason the response is bad. You can say it's busy, and I'm sure it is. The fact that there are some slackers combined with the bullshit of putting cops in leclaire at the expense of 10 sector beat cars is what gets the coppers living in 08 pissed off. It also dosen't help when you get comments like " don't expect me to do shit, I'm only writing parkers and doing park checks" or " what do you expect, your in the quiet side of 8".
TIERNEY,
Who's printer printed the postcards, your printer or the pension boards printer?
Shut the FUCK up about the 008 and start your own blog. This Jag Off Tierney, got access to all of our addresses from the pension board!
Everyone who received a postcard from that jerk should be screaming on the phone about giving him our address.
What the hell is the Pension Board giving out my address out for! I pay not to have it published.
I feel a class action on the way.
Save your postcards boys and girls you may need it later.
Pension Board #312-744-3891
The Pension Board gave a copper running for one of it's position our addresses, and you want to file a lawsuit? How about tossing in a lawsuit against the FOP Board while you are at it to get our 23 million that they gave to Daley?

Class action suit you were the CLASS CLOWN of your academy class ass hole. Your home address is at 1412 W. Washington you FOP Lackey!!
What is with this 23 mil? It will benefit YOU and EVERY officer coming on this job FOREVER. Get over it!
29 years maxed out
25 years top salary
Add it up DUHHHH!!!
How can one in good conscious vote for someone that works in 016? Sorry Tierney in your cool picture.....
Why don't you give up your cushy job and come to 008 and work the 10 sector? Then you'd have nothing to bitch about except yourself
I will again state the obvious. Rider Dickerson(a UNION SHOP) did the mailing for the pension board election, I went to them and had my (John Tierney) mailer done. I sat at a computer, typed what I wanted on the postcard and that was it. They took care of the rest. Printing/Mailing. Didn't see any name or addresses.
Who did Robbins use? THE FOP MAILER/PRINTER WITH THEIR LIST.
MAKE A PHONE CALL FOR ME, I DON'T HAVE ONE. I'LL GO TO 08 OR ANY WHERE AND WORK. FEEL FREE TO LOOK UP MY ARREST STATS. MORE ROBBERIES IN A YEAR THAN YOU HAD IN A CAREER, over 30 search warrants in MY CAREER. TALK TO AREA 4 DICKS, I WAS UP THERE WITH INVESTIGATIVE ALERTS/FELONIES ALL THE TIME. I WORKED FOR SOME OF THE BEST DET/SGTS OUT THERE: TERRY JAGLARSKI (015,016,013) OVER 30 YRS OTJ, JOHN PALLOHUSKY (WORKED W/JAGLARSKI IN 015, (025,013,AREA 4 V/C), ONE OF THE GREATEST DET. IN THE CPD and one of the BEST BOSSES,. JIM BUHRKE (011,013) NOW AG BAT DET SGT IN A/4.
I learned alot with good bosses and 10.5 years on the job in 013 and hopefully now that I bid to 016 I can work for some of the working people and the police who live there. What NO CRIME? I don't have to chase 1 rock anymore or fill the sheets, I can work on the burglaries,robberies,hot cars, guns and dope dealers in YOUR neighborhood. 3rd day in 016 I was fighting a guy on the STREET with an AGG Asslt Gun Warrant, A TRR, no IOD, Bruised knuckles and knee, it's a pinch. I COMMEND MY FELLOW OFFICERS AND 017 FOR QUICK AND IMMEDIATE RESPONSE. EVEN AN OFF DUTY FEMALE STOPPED AND JUMPED IN. THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR THE HELP!
Tonight, a DUI I assisted on w/partner said he had multiple guns in the house and would use them, A Consent To search later, a discussion with his wife and we find no guns but wife tells us they are in Des Plaines at the Son In laws house. Pass it on to other jursidiction. Work everywhere!
There are good and bad policemen in every part of our country, lets try to focus on the positive!
john t remember the fop kiss ass posters to this site are really worried that they will not be able to control you like Donahue does Robbins fortunately Donahue could not save Robbins for another cushy term on THE BOARD
why didn't the boys on the board kick in their own money for robbins then no one would have known no the cheap bastards on the board wanted to use members money.
Is it any wonder why SGT SHEmash is so supportive of robbins well jsut like fop lackeys EX Trustee Robbins is the chairman of the pension committee and guess who is on the committee SGT SHEMASH Hey Sarge your in violation of the Rules and Regulations.watch your mail sarge.

-----------------------------------
Correct me if I'm wrong. Didn't the City and the FOP sign a "Letter of Understanding" in our old contract that stated that the City would support the FOP in reducing the number of years to reach the top pension percentage?
What happened with that agreement? Nothing. I guess the City signs these letters and the FOP doesn't hold them to their promises. The FOP has to give away 23 million bucks to get the City to do what they promised us previously.
Also NOTHING is forvever. Retiree healthcare, it's gone in 8 years, what are we going to do to get it back.
The State has started raiding its pensions for general spending. How long until the City does the same? How long until the City comes back and says we can't afford this we are putting you back to 35 yrs for max pension? Then what? Sue? Who controls the courts?
I hope you are right. I hope that we don't lose what we have now, but I have a sinking feeling that 23 million just went down the rat hole.
fop so active for retiree health care.. a little history where was FOP when the city stated they were not going to continue retiree health care. A group of retired po/firemen city workers formed CARPAC and with their own money NO FOP DONATIONS FOR THIS GROUP sued the city and a settlement was borne to continue retireee health care to 2013 AND the fire dept had fre health care at 60 yrs old way before FOP even cared too busy filing their own pockets and making sure that when the membership finnaly woke up and threw them out of the pot of gold they found good jobs like NOLAN with the sherriffs office. FOP lackeys couldn't tell the truth if their won mothers were asking the questions.........
did you know that the 7 inside guys all got a $400.00 a month raise on top of the 100,000 plus salaries, 150,000.00 for big PRez MD. and caparelli is soooo worried about the cost of free retiree dues must be tough huh frankie got to hit the weight room too many banquets huh
You go WAYNE!!! Bash some more!!!!
GO WAYNE!
GO WAYNE!
I hear that Crazy Rosemary is doing the FOP bashing too.
Sgt. Mike Shemash said...
"Let's set the record straight. The FOP did NOT give Steve Robbins $5000.00 outright. He can receive up to $5000.00 in reimbursements for out-of-pocket expenses related to his campaign."
Where has the good Sgt gone with his amazing cut and paste ability?
Sgt Union petitions were circulated for their upcoming election. Is the F.O.P. endorsed Sgt Shemash running for PBPA? Is this the beggining of an organized attempt by the F.O.P. to covertly take over the Sgts union and jump into bed with the city?
Inquiring minds want to know?
The language has been changed in the FOP by laws that will allow the sgts to form a seperate barganing unit under the FOP.
Sooner or later they will come into the FOP.
the sgts will never be in FOP LODGE 7 and if Nolan would have not insisted that the sgts come under his control the PBPA would not be here today. Nolan actions is another example of the "me first" mentality of the leadership of FOP LODGE 7. The State and National Lodges would change any by law to allow another 1200 plus members. Fortunately the ensuing power struggle between the two groups for power in the state and national lodges will be a site to see.
if by "bash" you mean the "unchallenged" truth then
GO RJ
TRUTH ON
TRUTH ON

I'm not an FTO or Sgt, but I would reject this report due to spelling errors and grammer!
You don't have to be a rocket scientist to be the police, but you do need to WORK SMART AND DO YOUR JOB. Especially these days.
Get away from the District bashing. We should all know by now there are exceptional, good and not so good P.O.'s in every district. Deal with it.
I'll put my arrest statistics up against anyones, and my report writing for that matter.
um.....it's "gramm-A-r"
....no "E"
You got me there.
Extra... Extra...Extra - Read all about it. Carlos Saladino sues the police and still gets money from the FOP. When the the patronage end?
Tommorow, Wed 26th last day to mail the pension board ballots. Count starts 27th.
VOTE TIERNEY the only working copper out of the bunch. I know him, he works! No bullshit.
Check out his blog!
http://tierney4cpdpension2005.blogspot.com/
Tierney works!!! HA!
That fool has been planning to run for his cousins spot on the pension board (with his cousin taking the retiree spot) since last year, and yet he still hasn't gone to a pension board meeting (open to the public).
Tierney = LAMF (Lazy Ass Mo Fo)!!
Tierney doesn't go to the meetings on city time because he doesn't go to the meetings AT ALL!!! Hardworker my ass.
There was a pension board meeting today 10/25, did Tierney go?
did you know Robbins graduated high school and then ran for our pension rep from rags to riches anyone know why robbins lost his trustee spot? after all he is a high school graduate.
Public High School Graduate, if he did graduate. Like most if not ALL of our current FOP reps.
I saw him on TV at 35/shields partying w/ da boys!
The IOU rep guy's may have lost the FOP election, but they were and still are the most educated /informed and down to earth group out there. Everyone had a college degree, they even had masters and a couple of doc's with them.
Maybe if we got educated non/partisan representation then we could do something with our negotiations instead of turning EVERYTHING over to an arbitrator!
VOTE TIERNEY! no bullshit!
I would call the above two posts retards, but that would be an insult to retards. You are so ill-informed that you never figured out that Robbins was a Sergeant-at-Arms, not trustee. You must be Tierney, because he didn't know where to find the pension board to go to a meeting, even though his wife's cousin was on the board.
Educated. You're kidding, right? Show me one person on this job with education who was worth a shit. College education just shows you didn't work a day in your life before you got this job, and don't know how real people live.
The best coppers were always those who did real work or were in the military and came to this job with the right perspective. Slick college shits like Tierney and his friends only know how to do backhanded sleazy shit (like lie about other coppers).
Is that the kind of representation we need? HELL NO!!!
