More Hired Truck
Just when you think a story is dying out, Warmbir and Novak pull you back in (with some help from Fran Spielman).
Remember the scandal at the Office of Intergovernmental Affairs where a 19 year old was hired as a fully qualified building inspector in spite of the fact that you need 6 years experience to even be considered for such a position? That means little Andy Ryan was a fully qualified tradesman at the tender age of 13. Three other younger, politically connected inspectors were fired or resigned shortly thereafter.
If we were the Feds (which we aren't) and we were halfway intelligent (which we are), we'd be squeezing these four kids like tomatoes at a sauce factory. Think about it - you're under age 25 and you've got (A) your life ahead of you: chasing girls, marriage, kids, etc. Or (B) a Federal racketeering indictment looming over your head, a short stint in Club Fed and a lifetime of half assed jobs available only to people with criminal records. They'll be giving up their own grandmothers to stay out of jail, let alone their fathers and the politically connected people who got them jobs.
Keep squeezing those tomatoes Mr. Fitzgerald.

Great pinch by the 025th district gang team. Black powderguns & slingshots. You should all be proud of your stellar pinch of a WWII veteran. Failure to Register! Yeah baby
what dicks (025 district gang team)..
WWII VET
Does anyone know how many are taking the sgts exam?????
STILL LIKEN THEM DOGS...........
The 025th District elite gang team has made an additional big arrest. They hit the tree house of a local known neighborhood 12 year old bully and took 37 BB guns. They claim two of the BB rifles were illegally altered to be fully automatic BB guns. (You can knock out some eyes with that kind of weapon!)
Congratulations 025th District Gang Team! For going beyond the call of duty! You probably saved the lives of over 100 flying rat seagulls!
Pobre cito...can't get on the gang team? Couldn't be your charming personality, could it?
13,435 officers applied for the Sgt. exam.
hat can't be possible. I read on this blog that there are only 4,000 PO's on the job. Some idiot took the time to type it so it must be true.
Isn't the 25th District Gang Team, the gang team that was on a float at the last Gay Pride Parade? All dressed in chaps with no UNDIES?
Largest show of "snub noses" at the parade!
4,000 P.O.'s assigned to districts. over 8,000 assigned to Cline's super secret specialized units. Shhhhhh! its a dept. secret.
when I was on the gang team in 024, we got 38 bb guns with 3 heads, and 5 sling shots. And it was alot harder those days.
Dont forget there is one P.O. assigned to watch each of the City's 2,457 public cameras.
That's 2,457 cops per shift.
I once locked up the Race Official at a local school for shooting a starting pistol in the air to start a race. Got a Dept. Commendation and a Honorable Mention for that! Plus got the rest of the work day off!
Sincerely,
025th Dist Tactical Lt.
Bad news, it was learned that Bart, the missing K-9 dog, knocked up a under age black lab while on the run. Mayor Daley announced that the City of Chicago is offering a 18.5 million dollar settlement to the owner for this incident.
it ain't mines. take me to court bitch.
A LIL OVER 11,000 PO'S ACCORDING TO FOP ACCOUNTING AT MEETING TODAY. FOP HOW MANY PO'S ON OUR BOOKS??
Rookie 025 tact guy's are a joke.
It does NO good to take guns, even black powder from the normal citizen.
0231
THANK YOU !
WWII VET??? HE IS 56 YEARS OLD YOU FUCKING DO NOTHING MORON!
You guys omitted the part about him pointing a weapon at his neighbor or is that unimportant?
All kidding aside, you know whats sad about this? These are the same kind of guys that would have NO problem locking up any one of the countless retired Police Officers who like firearms and keep a collection and then rationalize the pinch by claiming the guy did something sinister or that he was GOING to do something sinister because what normal person would have all those guns? Seriously guys, you ought to be ashamed of yourselves. Theres NOTHING wrong with having a gun collection or not registering you weapons. Have you ever heard of the Second Amendment? The concept of the right to keep and bear arms? The Constitution? You are nothing but a tool for the Mayor, the same guy that would disarm YOU if he could, the same person that has already tried to prevent retired Officers from keeping personal weapons inspite of a Federal law that says they can, a person that has absolutely NO use for you unless you are doing something like arresting an otherwise law abiding citizens for possessing what the Constitution says he can possess. Nice work! I sincerly hope that your heads are hanging low. You certainly don't make me proud to be a member of the CPD!
Jealous Bitches - since you got turned down for 25 Dist tact because your fat, useless and can't screw your wife no more you have nothing better to say. 25 Dist tact seen more guns in one day them most of you in your lifetime so go complain and get your prostate checked because u all like a Doctor with fat fingers.
if you need help with turn in's the A/3 gun team can assist.
Bullshit he pointed a weapon at this neighbor. The neighbor probably knew this guy had guns, got pissed that he fell behind in the rent or some other crap, so he called the PO PO to come with a cock and bull story about Agg Assault. It's a bullshit pinch.
Gun registration is a bullshit law, but until it's changed, repealed, or overturned, it's stlll the law. I keep my guns registered even though it's a pain in the ass.
If the old man pointed a gun at his neighbor, then fuck him! He broke the law.
If his neighbor lied on him, then the neighbor is a dickhead.
Don't condemn the coppers doing their J-O-B! If the old man had blackpowder guns and bolt action rifles, then he could have registered them. He also could have joined the NRA and tried to help fight this bullshit law.
Maybe now he will.
The 25th District Gang Team thinks the AARP is an armed street gang.
I heard one of their boys was listed as IOD after tripping over their offender's walker.
What about the goof who sent some powder to the crime lab as suspected coke. It came back as fixodent for false teeth.
Start patroling the hallways of those Roger's Park nursing homes and catch the real crooks!
For all of you defending the old man, a good friend of mine, Donny Marquez, was murdered by a harmless old man when he knocked on his door. How quickly we forget our own and how they died.
P.S.
If you are going to say something bad about Don have the fucking balls to sign your name to it or shut the fuck up.
Jim Mullen was paralyzed after being shot through a door by a harmless old man. Lots of amnesia on this job. People would rather bitch like little kids than look out for one another.
Richie Clark was killed on 03 Apr 1986 by an old man named Paasch on Lill street in 019 too
The coppers were pinned down for a while at that scene and couldnt get to the body
Most of tis has nothing to do with your right to gun ownership. THis is just about hatred ot 025 gang team or gun team or tact or who ever the fuck is thought to have some kind of spot.
I will never make an arrest for failure to register without a someother real crime being attached.
I swore to upholed the Constitution of the United States, not Mayor Daley!
You guys bashing the 025 Gang Team are idiots!
The landlord came into the station to report that his tenant had pointed a gun at him, and that he had more inside his apartment.
The officers then obtained a "John Doe" search warrant based on the information received from the landlord and hit the offender's apartment.
Along with the "precious" black powder handguns and WWII rifles, they recovered four AR-15 rifles, with two being completely automatic, and numerous handguns. In addition, they recovered thousands upon thousands of rounds of ammo for the weapons.
The offender in question was what normal police officers like to call a "gun nut". He liked guns (a little too much) and was nuts. Moreover, he was a jagoff.
So, as far as I'm concerned, the team did an excellent job.
In closing, the team in question is full of very good and knowledgable officers. The fact that you don't know them and bash them on made up facts speaks volumes about yourselves and your own inadequacies.
Just because a gun is collectable dosen't mean you can own it without registering it.
What the hell does Donny Marquez, Jim Mullen or any other copper have to do with this?
This gun pinch in 025 was bullshit plain and simple. Just because the guy was older and had a collection doesn't mean that he was going to shoot a copper. One of my best friends was killed by a copper in an accidental shooting. Does that mean coppers shouldn't have guns? Get real, these coppers should hang their heads in shame. They will be forever known as tools for Daley. And no, I wasn't turned down for a Tac team or anything else. And I'm not jealous. There are some good guys on Tac and Gangs but lately it seems like most of them are two year wonders who can't differeniate between a good pinch and a bullshit pinch. They are embarrassing. And they can't even see it. They THINK they are doing a good job. With all the shit in 025 is this the best they could do? There are no gangbangers in 025, no real bad guys, that this is the type of pinch they have to come in with? If so, I'm staying where I'm at in the real westside,not 025!
OK F.Lee Bailey, show me where in the Constitution it says I have to register my guns. WHY should I have to register my guns? Because Daley says so? Your a tool.
And let me see if I've got this right. A guy gets a gun put in his face and he doesn't call 911, he WALKS into the station to report it? C'mon, who do you think your talking to, a Judge or an ASA in Felony Review?
TO: 08:50:08
You did take an oath to uphold the Constitution, but need to learn that the Second Amendment of the Constitution does not give an individual the right to own a weapon free from governmental regulation. Perhaps you should go back to law school before you make such a stupid comment.
When you took the oath to "uphold the Constitution of the United States" which you so vociferously proclaim, you should have known that very same constitution grants individual states the right to exercise police powers within their respective borders.
The right to keep and bear arms under the Second Amendment is known as a fundamental right. Therefore, the state cannot outright prohibit a person from owning a firearm. However, the state can regulate the type of firearm that a person may own. Moreover, the state can require the registration of such firearms under their police powers.
Since you are big on oaths, I'm sure the one you took to enforce the laws of the State of Illinois and the City of Chicago in a fair and impartial manner is equally important. After all, an oath is an oath! So, under that oath, you are required to enforce City of Chicago gun registration statute.
If you don't like enforcing certain laws, perhaps you might reconsider your career choice. I hear Wal-Mart is hiring.
My above post also applies to the idiot who posted at 09:15:07
Yes we should check and see who bought gun safes in the area thru the manufacturers. We can hit all those houses and take those guns. Hmmm, how many cops have gun safes? Lets check that first, then order them to open their safes. Remember, you only need 1 or 2 boxes of shells not more.
If this wasn't Chicago and we weren't talking about 025, I'd think this was likely a joke.
Old people with guns have killed POs? So have cars. So have drunk drivers. So have donuts. Save it for the retarded girls who will buy the bullshit you have for sale.
The guy pointed a gun at his neighbor? At best, you sound like you've taken a complainant at his word. The whole story stinks to high heaven, just like the story did last week. Just like 80% of the stories that come out of 025.
They should empty 025 out and rebuild it from scratch. There are some good people there, but no leadership and a horrible history of complete BS that embarrasses the rest of the department.
And while were at it, empty out the area 2 gun team.
How much will the inevitable lawsuits cost us this time?
"Oh, but andy ryan is a good kid" I'm being sarcastic here.
I can't count on one hand the number of times i've heard that from friends of worthless "clout-babies" on this job who got made meritorious even though they were utterly worthless as P.O. s!
"Oh yeah, but baby-cline is a good kid, blah, blah, blah!"
When the FEDs are done with that Ryan kid they should look at baby cline next!
Fucking Punk!
The word is that those rifles were altered to fire full-auto by the Area 5 Range guys. The fix was in.
NO problem locking up any one of the countless retired Police Officers who like firearms and keep a collection and then rationalize the pinch by claiming the guy did something sinister or that he
---------
why in god's name would you stay here if you retired???
Nice job of "outing" the person responsible for the john doe. Anyone can read this site. I saw the weapons and ammunition that this guy had in his house. No normal person has all that shit. Also nobody from the 025th District gang team was gloating about anything. They got the info and followed up on it and it resulted in the recovery of all that stuff. What do you expect them to do after executing the warrant and finding the guns, leave them there and when he gets out and the wacko goes postal ? Who is fucked then? If this guy is legit , he should have registered everything. There was a day when you went to a domestic and you knew it was bullshit and it was 1F. Now after what happened to the wagon guys on the southside after the domestic gone bad we lock someone up because of city halls reaction. So to all you people who say if you were there you would have "protected" the so-called collectors 2nd amend. rights, Bullshit, recover the guns and amo and let the court decide. Nice work 025 Gang team.

Bill COZZIs benefit is coming up in a few weeks. Since its being held at a club in 025...DO NOT CARRY YOUR GUNS, the gang team will lock you up for UUW!

And to the wize-ass who questioned whether the AR's were full auto, remember this happened in 025, a district full of gun nuts (as well as many other kinds of nuts) with a STAFFED RANGE IN THE BASEMENT.

Cmon guys, only break one law at a time! That's not to hard to follow.
Here we go again bashing coppers (025th gang team) and yet how many of you were actually there and have knowledge of what lead to this warrant. Stop ripping on your co-workers, who by the way are all good officers. The critiquing on this web site is a fucking joke!
Lets be greatful no one got shot or hurt during the warrant.
Anyway stay safe and try to enjoy your time on this earth!
Sorry I mean't "grateful" not greatful.
Sorry all of you shotgun news suscribers and anti-gun proponents but what does all of your posting have to do with "squeezing tomatoes" ?
Before you advise meds and typing your D-OHS reread the Original Post!
Usually anyone who reads these posts recently knows: who runs it, who's first, that 16** sucks, all gun teams suck, the old guys are hated and all guns are to be melted...
The topics could be interesting sometimes and informative if we try to grow up a little and try to stay on focus.
I keep thinking that these threads are read by a diverse pool of society and sometimes feel disappointed that we (police???)
present ourselves as three year olds without any attention span.
OK...fire!
We know that in the old days, the copper would have stolen most of those guns. Then he would inventory a few. Then retired and moved to Florida with the rest of his stolen means.
I guess the landloard is no longer "john doe" dumb ass
Hey 9:19:27 - maybe you were too self-absorbed into whatever it is that you do to have taken note of the opinion rendered recently by the Attorney General of the United States that affirms exactly that right - that of the "individual citizen" to keep and bear arms. Greeters now being accepted in the Evergreen Park Wal-Mart, asshat...
Way to stay on topic guys. Someone pulled the chain on this site about a month ago and its been going down the toilet ever since.
Given how ambitious and wide-ranging the incompetence of this administration has been, it's high time we started keeping track of its many failures.
Ralph Waldo Emerson said it best, "The louder he spoke of his honor, the faster we counted our spoons." And no administration in U.S. history has spoken louder, or as often, of its honor.
So let us count our spoons.
Fuck those assholes in 025. If they wanted to get guns, maybe they should have snitches and find out where the guns are that the gangbangers have. But I guess it's easier to do a warrant on an old guy than to worry about what a banger's going to do when you hit the door. Fuckin' cowards!
To: Sgt008
It don't matter what Ashcroft says, it matters what the Supreme Court of the United States says. And right now, the states have a right to regulate what type of gun you may own, and whether or not you need to register said gun.
So stop trying to sound like you know something you don't and instead, go fill out that application at Wal-Mart.
The landlord would have only remained John Doe until it was time to appear in courts. No way the landlord being the informant would have survived a FRANKS Hearing. So its not a big deal.
Have done numerous warrants and have yet to have a judge order the "John Doe" to appear in court. Numerous warrants have gone to trial as well
Either 025 are a hard working bunch of westside coppers who did a search warrant and got a bunch of fully automatic weapons from some crazy motherfucker who has a thing for pointing them at people..
OR
025 sandbagged some poor sap and took his gun collection, then altered the actions on some of them to make them seem more dangerous than they are..
Kind of hard to tell with these posts; Maybe we can vote on it.
A) CR# , Time, Indictments
B) CR#, Honorables, Dept. Commendations
Anyone know how are the gun teams in Area One and Four?
HEY POST 6:05:27...................
YOU ARE A REAL REAL REAL FUCKING DUMBASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
JOHN ASHCROFT IS NOT, I REPEAT NOT THE U.S ATTORNEY GENERAL!!!!
IT IS ALBERTO GONZALES YOU DUMB FUCK PENCIL DICK!!!!!
DAMN YOU DUMB!!!!!!
the 25th district is the BERMUDA TRIANGLE of the chicagp police department!!!!!!
How about that sign hanging over the door in 025, "025 THE PRIDE OF THE CITY" sounds like this city's in trouble if they are the PRIDE
Okay then jagoff, where do you work? Probably in lockup where u molest the prisoners when no one is looking. Or maybe your doing surveillance and trying to pinch that high risk offender that's out stealing garden gnomes. 25th district is one of the best! Go back to shoving gerbils up your rectum. Now, how's that for city pride!?
I can tell you how the Area three gun team is.
A JOKE.
"025 JOKE of the North West Side"
Do you still have to have the CPD logo embroidered on all civilian clothes?
Hey Post 1:27:12am .......
Don't need to hear all your hobbies!!!! You are probably a house mouse desk jockey that would not know what an arrest is if it slapped you in the face. If 025 is such a pride why are u getting killed in agg. batteries. It must be sad when 025 is the worst district in Area 5 and has the most homicides.
To: 2/23/2006 06:25:41 PM
I suppose the pride is like those Officers who brag how they work in 011 or 007. Or kind of like those who used to brag they worked in the deuce (002). I worked in 025 for many years and I did work my ass off answering calls. I do not think I am any better than any other Officer. I also worked in "Slow" districts and I know the shit can hit the fan anywhere. I have found that wherever you work there are slackers and workers and those who have to brag what district they are are in are usually the biggest slackers.
To: 2/23/2006 06:25:41 pm
Finally, a comment that makes sense!!!!!Kudos to you, I agree with you 100%. What happened to the brotherhood in the city???We all wear the same uniform right???? Does it really matter what district we are in, we all still risk our lives everyday. Granted 015 might be more dangerous than 016 or 025 but have we forgotten police have been killed on duty in each of these districts( 016- copper killed in domestic shot: 025- copper killed during building inspection shot: 015- copper killed while chasing robber shot)It could happen in any district at any time. Remember people WE DON'T CHOSE THE DAY,THE DAY CHOSES US!!!
