Quick Hits Weekend Edition
Don't worry, we'll be posting here and there over the weekend, but here's some stuff we saw today.
- As noted in a comments section, another embarrassment to the Department. Who has any background on this goof? Sounds like a 5 year wonderchild.
- Fran Spielman does a fluff cover job on Bob Sirott's fluff TV piece of a retrospective of scandal ridden 2005. Mutual media masturbation!
- Now the debate begins about Midway runways. Four possible outcomes that we see: (A) some new sort of barrier system to prevent runway overruns; (B) tear down everything within 1,000 yards of Midway and expand the runway buffers; (C) shut down Midway and give Jesse Jr. his Peotone disaster; (D) absolutely nothing. Bet on D.
- Cop TASERs partner over stopping for a soda. She did grab the steering wheel, so we'd call it a justified zapping. We're not sympathetic to people turning moving automobiles into uncontrolled missiles.
- Four coppers help evacuate 30 people from a burning building. Good job people.

Two asshole coppers in the same car. For the situation to get that out of hand where they're fighting over the steering wheel and one zaps the other.....they're both assholes!!
Ditto....fire bothof them!!!
PO shot in 003 tonight....shitbag in custody.....will keep you updated as to his condition
So Daley gets "depressed" because of corruption. How does he think we feel? He's in a position to make things right. We're powerless.
Prozac anyone?
The police department released a statement saying Pecora's arrest "does not reflect on the work of the 15,000 police officers who do a good job every day, protecting and serving the public." Police spokesman Monique Bond said Pecora had been relieved of police duties and placed on no-pay status.
15K? SOMEONE CALL THE FOP!!!!
HOLY SHIT!! SOMEONE GET FLOP ON THE PHONE ASAP!! AND TELL THEM ABOUT HOW YOU"RE BEING DETAILED!! THIS IS COMPLETE B.S. MAN!!
regarding this taser incident....i'm sure the dumbass p.o. did it as a joke....albeit a very stupid one....and now he's fubar....but if he's that dumb, fire his ass, no business being po-po...then again, look around us...they're everywhere people!!
I think the 50 lbs of weed is for medicinal purposes. He should be ok.
How dare the PO's who qualify in A/5 range assume they can clean their guns after they shoot. The balls of these guys, I mean, why would you want to clean your gun there when you could clean your gun back in your house! The nice aeromic smell of gun cleaner in your living room is great for the holidays. The usual shit coming from the range guys, telling PO's they cant clean their guns in the "GUN CLEANING ROOM", then why the FUCK is the room there? These guys continue to treat the PO's who shoot there like scum, worried they wont clean up. The way they reacted is if you asked the range person if you could clean your gun back at their house in their bed! They are too worried about "cleaning up our mess". I have an idea, check the room and tell the PO's to make sure clean up! These guys act as if its their personal range. They yell if you use a broom to clean up the brass, "you will get lead poisoning", my bad, I suppose its better to use your suggestion and clean it up with my bare hands, thats much safer. Seriously, lead poisoning, you dont wear a mask when you shoot and the powder goes all over the place. I used to thing you needed a phone call to work in the range, now I think all you need is to be a total asshole to your felow officers!
THE MIDWAY CRASH, WAS THERE ...PO'S IN 008 DID GREAT JOB, AS WELL AS RESPONDING UNITS...HOWEVER, JUST A NOTE...DON'T MAKE THE COMMAND CENTER 50 FT. FROM THE PLANE...COULD HAVE BLOWN UP...YOU NEVER KNOW...ALSO, COMMAND VAN..WHAT A JOKE TOOK 1.5 -2 HRS AFTER THE CRASH TO GET THERE...I KNOW BAD WEATHER BUT THAT BIG MO FO AIN'T MOVING IN THAT WEATHER...ALSO , THE FACT THAT THE MIDWAY CHRISTAMS PARTY WAS THAT NIGHT DIDN'T HELP.....
You can clean your gun on the range as long as you bring your own cleaning supplies.
It's time to end the Drug War! What a huge waste of time and money! Legalize all drugs and let's get on with something else..,
In A/3, you can't clean your gun in the designated room because of some "ventilation" problem. But the guys there are as nice as could be, so I actually believed them.
You can clean your guns at area 5. Just use the lunch room down the hall in 025. They don't eat there anyway, they just order take out at the desk.. 025 is full of slobs, half of the shitters in the washroom are broke, the pissers have plastic wrap on them, what a dump! THE LAND OF MIFIT COPS!!!
Hey don't forget the buggers on the walls.....

I concur completely. Take two hits and call me in the morning. You honor, my patient has a stomach ailment- he is a cow and has a multi-chambered stomach. Hence he must chew copious amounts of grass into cud to avoid embarrassing problems with flatulence. My patient would never use any substance for any illicit purpose/profit. That 50 pound hemp hay bale was merely a office sample- that's why I failed to write a prescription. Your honor my patient has always been an upstanding officer- and gives two gallons of delicious milk a day.
You mean that ISN'T a nipple? YEEECCCCHHHHH!!!
TookieWatch, 3 days and counting.
Animals already said they would burn city to ground if he is executed.....Its not going to happen noone has balls to stand up to the threating animal.....
The press says, All cops need is just whistles and sticks.. No type of firearm is needed in 95% of police work.. just pens and the above... also why is it the county guys carry guns off-duty but not at work??? just to act tough maybe???
YES, we could have a supervisor carry, so we could call on him.
Any truth to the rumor that there will be one more det class from the old list in Jan 06?
I doubt it. The new test results have been out for awhile now. The old list is Dead.

Good thing Pecora didn't draw attention to himself or anything:
He drove a black Hummer to work.
He has put on about 50 pounds of solid muscle in the last 2 years.
He always bragged about his various $20,000 watches.
He spent everynight at work hanging out in the nightclubs, being treated like royalty by the bar managers and doormen.
Piece of shit, wannabe Wiseguy from Bridgeport.
I heard that he actually stole that 50 pounds of weed from the Elmwood Park mob and wouldn't pay the money back, which caused him to get noticed by DEA. Dumbfuck would have probably gotten away with it had he not thought that he could do whatever he wanted because he was a cop.
I hear IAD has been following him all over creation for several months now. He's lucky they got him before the mobsters decided to call in the debt. Heard there is a steroid investigation going on within the Department concurrent to this investigation. Hope all you juicers took notice of this and clean up quick...You know this shitbag is rolling on all of you right now, right?
What are all the roid boys in 018 going to do now. They are all going to look funny when they try to hang around on division street and everybody notices that they dropped 50 pounds because they are off the juice.
yeah those guys area 5 range think they wear chevrons on their sleeves.The bald guy is always telling war stories and since i've been on the job 14yrs. he has been in the range department. I think i've heard his stories 3 times over. The tall nerd who thinks he's a drill instructor barking out orders has 6 or 7 yrs. on the job. Did his training stint in 011 and has been in the range the rest of the time,he is another guy who thinks he's the shit because he trained in 011 but forgets he's nothing but a range bitch.To top it off he was a emt on a private ambulance before comming on the job. Just one of those few guys who think because they have a badge and a gun now they think they are tough shit. These guys really need to be checked.
I don't know who the guys in A/5 are but there was a youger guy named Dan ( not using his last name out of respect ) at A/3 this last summer that was a great guy. One of the few times I remember being treated like an adult on this job by a ranger person, or any other "training" type officer.
I have heard nothing but good things about the range guys in Area 3, but goddamn those guys in Area 5 are dicks! Being a jagoff must be a prerequisite to work there.
A/3 currently has a good guy named Randy, who has been on about 25 yrs, spending a lot of time in 15 as an FTO, who actually treated the recruits as adults, treated them like coppers, tried to teach all, would answer questions from all, even if they were not his recruits.
THey are lucky to have him.
Trust the FOP for advice????
Which elected official from FOP has a spouse that was locked in the suburbs on some BS? The spouse, a civilian CPD employee, possibly acting on bad FOP advice, failed to make notifications about the incident. The result: CR#, suspension, ....ouch
they are always looking to see on your seniorty date to see how much shit they can get away with but usually if they see you have some or more time than they do they dont try you too much
I am curious. There are nothing but bad posts from people who say 025 is shit, 016 is filled with dogs,015 is a wasteland. Where is the great place to work ? OO wise one who knows all and bashes everyone where is the best place to work ?
It is a shame that there is nothing but bashing going on here. I have been an FTO in 025 for 13 years and there are alot of good, hard working police officers that are there. 025 is filled with alot of good people who when the shit hits the fan are there to help you both mentally and financially. When my mother died we needed a revolving door at the funeral home to keep up with the flow of my co workers who were coming in to pay their respects to a woman most did not even know.And when I was involved in a shooting my phone rang for two days straight with over 300 calls.
You can sit there and say what you want about 025 but I will tell you from being there quite some time, 025 is filled with alot of quality people who are always there when you need them.
and if you dont believe me, transfer in and come work with us.
I sincerely wish all a happy holiday season and the best to you and your families.
The range in A/5 has no cleaning supplies anyway, everyone brings their own supplies, the shit they have their is a joke, so old I think its for cleaning muskits. Besides the cleaning nonsense in A/5, try to ask them about qualifying, holy shit, "WHAT.....YOU WANT TO SHOOT YOUR GUN????? HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, YOU HAVE TO GO TO A/3 FOR THAT", if you want to shoot in A/5, you have to schedule it 12-32 weeks in advance, remember the secret password, bring your own ammo,paper target,power supply, private range master,eyes,ears,oxygen,cleaning supplies, and guess the magic number they are holding, only 1-9, they cant count as high as 10, from behind there back. Meeting all of these requirements, then, and only then, will they tell you.........were booked,,,, go to A/3. Upon your arrival to A/3, "WHATS UP, GRAB A TARGET, GO OUT ON THE RANGE". NICE SHOOTING, BE SAFE OUT THERE"!
Anyone hear something about Major Accidents didn't want to come out to the plane/auto accident scene and had to be ordered by the Street Deputy?
major accidents is another useless branch on the CPD tree
FTO in 025- Hi Bob!
I don't know what you people are talking about concerning Area5 range. I go there on the day shift, there are two young guys, no BS, no war stories, quick, effecient, fair. They let me clean my gun, I just had to have my own stuff. HEll, they offered me coffee. This last week they were swamped and they still let people practice, they did a couple of guys 45s, even though they were doing regular qualifications. The tall guy stripped down some detectives revolver, cleaned it and the guy finished shooting, before that the gun didn't even work.I was there for about an hour, doing practice shooting between qualification lines, these two guys never stopped. If this is a "spot" I stay in patrol thank you, it's way less work. The coppers are unbelievable, there are signs all over telling them to leave their guns in the holsters, the poor range guys get more guns pointed at them than any ghetto cop. If I were them I'd wear a vest. All I know is I practice at A5 with the day guys on a regular basis and they are great.
The taser incident sounds like T.N.B. to me...... I'm guessing, based on their names, that they deserve eachother.
Haha! True dat! True dat!
the taser incident sounds like a domestic to me-lol
...You know this shitbag is rolling on all of you right now, right?
12/10/2005 02:51:54 PM
Truer words were never spoken...LOL
Just for clarification, it is the Area 5 range guys that work on afternoons that are the jags.
TO 5:21
Hello to you anonymous ..
09:13:28 PM
Jags - to whom are they jags? To stupid people like you that don't know how to handle your weapon safely. To stupid poeple like you that want them to bend over backwards so that you can pass qualification. To stupid people like you that walk in like your the King and expect all to bow to your every whim. To stupid people like you that expect them to fix your weapon. Should I go on? Please, people, just because you do not get along with a particular individual does not mean that that person is not doing their job. Just because an officer doesn't bend over backwards and kiss your ass when you want it, does not mean that they are JAGS!
Your the Jag for expecting someone to kiss your ass.
The above poster is right. In 16 yrs I never expected a play from the range guys. If you followed their instructions there was no problem. we have so few benchmarks( Sorry cant think of a better word) that if you can not shoot you weapon within state rules ten I do no want you backing me me up.
Bend over backwords? I just want to shoot! The guys especially on afternoons in A/5 think its their peronal range. I maintain my weapon, pass with flying colors, they are still jags! I dont go in there expecting anything from them, just to shoot my weapon and leave, they are assholes! PERIOD! I have never, not once, seen any PO disrespect or argue with the range in A/5, its always the range guys setting the tone, WHAT DO YOU WANT?...COME BACK LATER.....NOT TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Bow down to every whim or help pass, please! You sign in, load your weapon, go on the range, and shoot! When the range in A/5 starts to treat the PO's with respect, they in turn will be treated with respect. They treat everyone as if they are PPO's. They get swamped and dont want to be bothered with the PO's who ask them question and who want to shoot or clean their guns...FUCK them, go work somewhere else so you dont have to be bothered. Why would a PO expect a range guy to kiss their ass? This is exactly what people are talking about,,, the balls on these range guys in A/5, they set the tone by treating people like snot! When in doubt, shoot at A/3 with courteous and professional range personnel.
Hey FTO from 025
I know you too whats up brother.....
I am almost all healed from the crash. hoping to be back to work sometime next month. hard to believe its almost 6 months since the accident. i have seen every law and order and nypd blue. it will be nice to get back to work.
how are you brother
any good watch xmas parties coming up ??
Yeah Bob, Deb's annual CHRISTMAS bash, a good one, is coming up soon for the 2nd watch. Call the desk.
It's about time somebody set the record straight here regarding 025. I've been there for about 5 years after having been in several other places and I can say without hesitiation that the vast majority of coppers there are top notch. I consider myself fortunate to have been assigned there and to be able to work with some of these guys and gals. There are some dogs/ goofs but no more than in any other unit. I am constantly impressed with the work that they do and the quality of arrests that they come in with, particularly the guys on 1st watch. The problems in this District are not with the individual Officers, the problems are elsewhere as in managment, supervision etc., and it filters down to the patrolman. As far as broken toilets go, keep in mind that this place has a district manager that refuses to do anything except CREATE problems and as a result when things break down, IF they get fixed, it usually takes a long time to get repaired. Sad to say, but since Mc Cotter left, this place has taken a steady nosedive down and I do not see it getting any better.
We do have our fairshare of snotnosed kids who THINK they are the real deal but so does every other district. They will come around one day and see the light.
Hey, was that fto in 025 on days driving drunk when he crashed his scooter,(probably running a red light)
Assholes like you are why we are all fucked.
A/3 range folks couldn't be better. They are definitely there to help.
The true way to a range guys heart is through a cup of hot Dunkin Donuts coffee. Bring some next time you want to shoot. They give you carte blanche.
TO 09:07 the Coward
He was not drunk . As he is a firm believer in not mixing liquor and riding his motorcycle. For your information he was struck by an 83 year old woman who couldnt tell the difference between a red and green light and she went thru the red light hitting him as he was riding thru an intersection.
Hide behind your anonymous post coward and try to make up stories I am sure thats how you write your case reports at work when you make your one rock pinches. Nothing wrong with a one rock pinch but I am sure the rock comes out of your pocket you coward.
I think they reason they treat people like ppos is because of the things coppers do with their guns, like take them out when not on the range, start loading unloading, dry-firing, not heeding instruction about weapon safety, telling the range guys they know all about guns etc.. i've seen it, it's scary..........
The A/5 range guys on afternoons are professional. It's some of the "clientele" who lack professionalism. You are treated with respect if you are respectful. Re: cleaning your gun - - until the City does something about the ventilation system, it is a safety consideration. And, it's true, the range guys have more guns pointed at them on an average week than any other officer has pointed at them over the span of their entire career! Think about that.
Sounds to me like someone can't shoot, has thin skin, & doesn't know what the hell they are talking about. Get over yourself. The A5 3rd watch range guys let you practice if workload allows. However, qualifications have to come first! It's sad that the City doesn't place more emphasis on shooting - only requiring an ANNUAL qualification! I know alot of guys who can hardly hit the side of a bus.
all these guys sticking up for a5range must be personal friends of these assholes. When i go shoot i dont want to hear i have 33 yrs on the job kid or i came from 011, dont expect shit from them,dont want to be talked down to.They have more guns pointed at them than guys in the streets you must be house mouses!!!!
Earlier post that said "25TH DISTRICT YOUNG GUYS THINK THEY'RE THE REAL DEAL" What an understatement.....these no hashmark having "p.o's" can't even return a wave on the street. I've worked all over the city and without a doubt this 25th district "young crew" is the worst. When you walk in there they give you that "what the hell are you doin here look?" It's a shame 25 used to be the pride of the nside, it fell fast. Still some great coppers working there, if these young cats would quit patting themselves on the back and telling each other how great they are they might actually learn something from the "old timers"
I heard 025 had good coppers just shitty FTOs? Just kidding Bob. 1631 still has worst beat car on 3rd watch next only to 812, the guy who hides at 5812 S. Central
12:10 OBVIOUSLY KNOWS VERY LITTLE ABOUT RANGES!!...AND RANTINGS MAKE HIM/HER APPEAR JEALOUS...PROBABLY ONLY SHOOTS ONCE A YEAR AND THINKS THAT'S ENOUGH! AND IS PROBABLY ONE OF THOSE WHO CAN'T HIT THE SIDE OF A BUS OR WHO WAS "TALKED DOWN TO" (boo hoo)FOR POINTING HIS/HER WEAPON AT A RANGE INSTRUCTOR. SAD PATHETIC POOR LITTLE POPO. PRACTICE...PRACTICE...PRACTICE
I was at A5 range, watched a guy wash his hands, then toss the soiled paper towels on the floor; I guess the range guys can pick it up? I've seen the bullet marks on the walls, ceiling and floor in the range. One of the day guys invited me to stand in the booth while he called lines. OH MY GOD!!! It's a miracle nobody has been shot. The range guys are too nice.
Can SOMEBODY please tell us who the IDIOT is that keeps posting this nonsense about 1631 so we can beat the shit out of him for wasting our time and boring the hell out of us? No matter what the topic is, he without fail will interject his comments in that thread. I don't work in 016 nor do I even know who's on that car but I am very fed up with this posters bullshit. Post him name, PLEASE!
To the 1631 basher- If your so pissed off at them and thay are so bad,post your name and stop being a COWARD!
Ive qualified at A5 & A3 ranges and never had a problem with any of them. For the past 10 years it was a pretty good time with a little ball busting after the shootin is done. Just remember not everyone is having as good a day as you might. Just do as your supposed to do at the range and dont be a hot shot.
Re: 4:26:.....you can't call someone a coward for being anonymous when you're anonymous. BUT....I bet that the basher of 1631 is some needle dick who put the make on them and was rebuffed.
Get a life 1631 basher. We got your point about 1631, pick a new subject.
what's a "hashmark"?
Anybody have the final word on the wellness plan? Does our deductible get involved, how is it used, and what exactly can we use it for?
I'm assuming the 5:27 posting is not the police.
A "hashmark" is worn on the left sleeve denoting five years service.
1 hashmark - five years
2 hashmarks - ten years
3 hashmarks - fifteen years
star - twenty years
star and 1 hashmark - twenty five years
star and 2 hashmarks - thirty years
star and 3 hashmarks - get the fuck out of here and retire will ya?
Thanks 6:21:59......
Is that what those things are called? Who new? I thought they were called bars and stars. What a fucking mush I am. That reminds me, I gotta get around to putting some of those things on my uniforms one of these days.
Area 2 Range on afternoons...Brendan what a prince...will bend over backwards for a copper...thats the way it should be...fucking military rejects
Area 2 Range on afternoons...Brendan what a prince...will bend over backwards for a copper...thats the way it should be...
12/11/2005 07:20:58 PM
How much does he charge to bend over backwards? Cause the A/5 guys only charge $20, and that includes a killer reach around!!!!
Bob. Good to hear you are comming back soon. We are going to hammered with p.p.o.'s in either late January/early February. 4 classes in the academy now.
3rd watch parth on the 15th.
