More Truth Reaches the Light
Remember Hurricane Katrina? Bush's fault, right? Mike Brown and FEMA "failure"?
Ourselves and others pointed out the fact that hundreds of buses were destroyed by flooding - hundred of buses that could have been used to EVACUATE residents of New Orleans? Hundreds of buses controlled by local and state democratic officials that had ZERO to do with the Federal response to Katrina?
Guess what just popped up on the radar? Local officials turned down Federal assistance in evacuating New Orleans hospitals and nursing homes where almost 100 people ended up drowning in their beds. As more information becomes available, the cry of Bush and Republican incompetence ring more and more hollow.

woow i'm the 1st first
I'm second and you are an asshat!!
THIRD!!!!!!!!!!!
And I am currently recruiting for my anti-police club with little malcolm.
I am still an idiot.
Second says screw your anti-police views lefty!!
I just hope that at the end of the day, New Orleans will be a "chocolate city."
What a jackass!
woo hoo, I'm Sixth...got some climbing to do to get that #1 spot
I hear some jailguard brought gun into jail for his fellow gangbangers to shot rivals. Way to go jailguards privatize those fuckers and save us some money.
Hey 1611 basher i will put 1631 3rd watch/1st watch up against 1611 as worst beat car anyday you want toughguy.....Did you say 1611 is Copland? You must be one of those loser 30ish Edison Park guys that tell war stories and still live at home waiting for parent(s) to fall dead so you can have house.....
EEz prublim vit dat?
ATTENTION: Now you see they get guns in jail. We need more gun control since it seems that cops are reponsible for that gun getting into the jail. Allow officers to own only 1 duty weapon and have it kept in the station locked down. Off-duty carry? Gee it seems it was a stub-nose 38 that got in the jail. Some copper probably lost it while drunk in a tavern.
The previous public service announcement was brought to you by Mayor Richard J. Daley.
Who spiked the Kool-Aid?
failed social programs and missplaced liberal guilt brought us city leadership like that found in N.O. , D.C. DETROIT etc....
chicago looks good in comparison only because of the cashflow....not the caliber of management.
let this city be tested and the thin vail of competence will be lifted to expose a city rendered dissfunctional by corruption and mismanagement.
taxpayers, in this 2nd most expensive U.S. city, will then begin cost/benifit analysis and realize that naperville has bars and resturants as well as award winning schools.
that sucking sound will be the taxbase.
It could have been some left-wing liberal loving democratic defense attorney that smuggled the gun!
How many off-duty cops gonna get stupid this superbowl weekend?? The drunken tom-foolery? The reckless driving? Maybe a gambling scandal? Domestic battery? Hey, maybe a possible drug overdose by some of you questionable dirty coppers? WHATS THE ODDS?
To 2/02/2006 09:42:35 AM :
You've been posting the same shit every morning now. Get a grip. I suspect this is actually one of the FOP attorneys hoping for some extra business.
Hey don't forget those retired cops packing heat. They get drunk too. Do they allow them to keep their guns in the nursing home? Maybe a special mount on the wheelchair to assist hit probability? HEH HEH HEH
1611 SUCKS!!!
Heard a girl was abducted @ Toughy & HARLEM yesterday..any news on this.
Next time you see the 1st Deputy, ask him to pronounce the word "epitome" – as in the “epitome of integrity.” Then you will realize how stupid our exempt members are.
Yesterday was at the corner of North and Wells and saw Beat 2022 1st watch getting a cup of coffee at Starbucks. Cops will drive anywhere to get a free cup of coffee and not pay the $2, cheap asses.
The attempt abduction happened about 1540 hrs. A blue work van with some rust spots. two white guys speaking good english tried to get her in the van but she broke loose and ran into the Dunkin Dounuts. A detective car came by just after it happened. The girl is fine , a few vans with that descrpitioned were stopped but they we not the ones.
Starbucks charges so stop already, scc I think its time for a password to keep liberal civilians off the board, civilians shouldn't be ready our board anyway...
To the non-police 7:38. It wasn't a .38 snubnose, it was a cheap .380 semi-auto. The three goofs are real bad guys, viceloard with extensive histories. That the street police, not the CAPS offices or the headquarters paper hangers have put in jail many times. Two are in for murder and one is in for agg kidnapping. It was good police work, not CAPS meeting that put them in there.
It was likely a viceloard jail guard,who got by the background check that got them the gun. Too bad they are such lousy shots, the last man standing could have saved the taxpayers a lot of money.
But then, some lawyer lowlife, will probably sue the county for allowing the gun in and let their poor client get a boo-boo.

Can we get back on the purpose of this thread.
I suggest that SCC, try making a daily open thread for breaking stories. That might attract and keep the non-police and the other riff-raff away from any good discussions.
And, to the guy who always claims to be first, get a life, but try renting one before you buy.
Anyway, back to the thread.
I bet that New Orleans didn't train, or drill their first responders. Just like Chicago, maybe they had great plans. But no battle plan survives first contact with the enemy, especially if your soldiers have no idea what is the plan.
If the city's ability to sustain life is threatened by some great event, you better have your own family plan, your own supplies, multiple escape routes, and communications.

There were a lot of school buses available to transport people to safety.
But those school bus drivers had houses and families too. I wouldn't expect the drivers to give up thier family to get someone else out.

Someone want to tell me how THREE inmates got SHOT at the MAXIMUM SECURITY wing of Cook County Jail?
I am sure one of those gangbanger jailguards snuck a gun in for some money. They ever fire that guard who helped Randy Rencher escape?
CPD officers watch out for fox new and walter he is out to get a copper.

Administration backs off Bush's vow to reduce Mideast oil
importsBy Kevin G. Hall
Knight Ridder Newspapers
WASHINGTON - One day after President Bush vowed to reduce America's dependence on Middle East oil by cutting imports from there 75 percent by 2025, his energy secretary and national economic adviser said Wednesday that the president didn't mean it literally.
What the president meant, they said in a conference call with reporters, was that alternative fuels could displace an amount of oil imports equivalent to most of what America is expected to import from the Middle East in 2025.
But America still would import oil from the Middle East, because that's where the greatest oil supplies are.
The president's State of the Union reference to Mideast oil made headlines nationwide Wednesday because of his assertion that "America is addicted to oil" and his call to "break this addiction."
Bush vowed to fund research into better batteries for hybrid vehicles and more production of the alternative fuel ethanol, setting a lofty goal of replacing "more than 75 percent of our oil imports from the Middle East by 2025."

U.S. Intel Chief Doubts Iran Has Nukes
By KATHERINE SHRADER, Associated Press Writer
Thu Feb 2, 10:21 AM ET
WASHINGTON - National Intelligence Director John Negroponte told Congress on Thursday that Iran probably does not yet have nuclear weapons, nor has it obtained the material central to producing them.
I am not a northsider but last night I happened to be driving southbound on Milwaukee from Foster. I saw the infamous 1611 3rd watch (99 unit) pulling away from in front of 016 around 10pm. All I can say is that broad can say "pass the potatoes" in 27 languages.
Speaking of "11" sector 3rd watch cars, anyone see 1711 do any real work lately? 2 honorables in 3 weeks for FLASH messages, what the fuck is going on here? Guess you have to eat with the Sgt. to get an honorable arond that place!!!

I have one better. The other day at the exempt meeting Dana was talking about Lt Evans suggestion that all promotion parties be alcohol free when his ego-ness stated "I dont know about alcohol free, but maybe a two drink minimun should implemented" Everyone cracked up except him. I still dont think he knows why we were laughing
The End of the Internet?
The nation's largest telephone and cable companies are crafting an alarming set of strategies that would transform the free, open and nondiscriminatory Internet of today to a privately run and branded service that would charge a fee for virtually everything we do online.
We need judges like this in Cook County
6 years for hitting cop, deputy
A man who punched a Glendale Heights police officer and then slugged a DuPage County sheriff's officer on the same day was sentenced Wednesday to six years in prison. Edgar Benavides, 22, was sentenced by DuPage County Judge Robert Anderson after pleading guilty to two felony counts of aggravated battery to a police officer. Benavides was arrested last July 25 after he punched a Glendale Heights police officer called to investigate a complaint that Benavides had knocked over a bicyclist at a local park. While being booked at the DuPage County Jail, Benavides punched a sheriff's officer.
Dear M,
I'm sorry, Just took my Prozac and now feel better. I realize now how wrong I was when I asked who would drive the buses. I did not mean to imply that the majority of the residents of new Orleans are driving Suspended or drunk or high on crack. I know that Mayor Nagin (SP?) wants to blame the Federal government but I realize that Him and the Governor of Louisiana bear full responsibility. On behalf of the Democratic party I apologize to G.W. and with that last act I tear up my DNC ID and will vote republican forever. I m taking down my Harold Washington paining of him in panties and putting up a picture of Ronald Reagan in conservative business attire. God Bless GW, "MY" President.
I think wally jacobson should be doin his commentaries on "GANGS IN THE JAILHOUSE" NOT THE INMATES BUT THE SHITHEAD GUARDS DONT TRUST ANY OF THOSE SHITBIRDS!!!

why did the 025th district caps Sgt. get dumped ????????
Did the 22nd District tactical lt. get dumped to 008?
His clout(Tasch)left to be the Chief of police somewhere else. That was his guy and thats how it goes.
Is the 17th District Tactical Lieutenant getting dumped because he dummied up an IOD for his buddy "turtle" (a po on the 3rd watch) to cover his off-duty back injury
Speaking of "11" sector 3rd watch cars, anyone see 1711 do any real work lately? 2 honorables in 3 weeks for FLASH messages, what the fuck is going on here? Guess you have to eat with the Sgt. to get an honorable arond that place!!!

If 1711 responded quickly to the in-progress call and put out a good flash that other responding units used to catch the offenders then what is the problem? Why shouldn't selfless team work be rewarded?
There is too much super cop, I'm the real police, everyone else is a dog attitude on this dept. Some guys have to tell the whole dept what they did, others just keep plugging away anonyomously.
I've actually been on-duty when the first responding unit refused to put out the flash on a rape offender so they could be the car that caught him. They told other cars to move so they could leave the scene. The R/Sgt had to come on the air repeatedly asking them to give out a flash. Come to think of it...it was probably the same asshole who wrote the posting that I'm responding to.
I can hear the CPD ghetto bird flying over my g/f's apt. Covering Shurez HS (sp?). Logoned on as PH33!!
Don't start laying into 1711. They're the only ones keeping the Skokie Vice Lords from turning that beat into a war zone.
I thought 1711 (aka the soul patrol) WERE the Vice Lords invading Sauganash (sp)cuz I know they aint doing any work up there
lest get back to the tac lt. wasnt there a cr on him for ghost payrolling (ie not showing up for work but getting paid) and wasn't he being followed by iad for that. Thanks to mobbed up "cuzin Jan" and "cuzin laurino" (as in the mobbed up alderwoman) this guy is untouchable. hello is anyone listening?
The disclosures come in a new edition of Lawless World, by Phillipe Sands, a QC and professor of international law at University College, London. Professor Sands last year exposed the doubts shared by Foreign Office lawyers about the legality of the invasion in disclosures which eventually forced the prime minister to publish the full legal advice given to him by the attorney general, Lord Goldsmith.
The memo seen by Prof Sands reveals:
· Mr Bush told the Mr Blair that the US was so worried about the failure to find hard evidence against Saddam that it thought of "flying U2 reconnaissance aircraft planes with fighter cover over Iraq, painted in UN colours". Mr Bush added: "If Saddam fired on them, he would be in breach [of UN resolutions]".
· Mr Bush even expressed the hope that a defector would be extracted from Iraq and give a "public presentation about Saddam's WMD". He is also said to have referred Mr Blair to a "small possibility" that Saddam would be "assassinated".
· Mr Blair told the US president that a second UN resolution would be an "insurance policy", providing "international cover, including with the Arabs" if anything went wrong with the military campaign, or if Saddam increased the stakes by burning oil wells, killing children, or fomenting internal divisions within Iraq.
· Mr Bush told the prime minister that he "thought it unlikely that there would be internecine warfare between the different religious and ethnic groups". Mr Blair did not demur, according to the book.

Opec issues warning on Bush oil pledge
Rapid consumer spending helps push the savings rate to lowest level since 1933
WASHINGTON — Americans' personal savings rate dipped into negative territory in 2005, something that hasn't happened since the Great Depression. Consumers depleted their savings to finance the purchases of cars and other big-ticket items.
The Commerce Department reported Monday that the savings rate fell into negative territory at minus 0.5 percent, meaning that Americans not only spent all of their after-tax income last year but had to dip into previous savings or increase borrowing.
The savings rate has been negative for an entire year only twice before — in 1932 and 1933 — two years when the country was struggling to cope with the Great Depression, a time of massive business failures and job layoffs.

Are you fucking nuts or was that a joke. Tasch and the Sgt. in question HATED each other,I repeat, hated each other! Thats NOT the reason he got dumped. And no, I won't tell you here. But if you call me at 312-746-8605 and ask for Willie, I'll tell you.
The Sergeant was dumped because he purchased a popcorn machine with allocated CAPS funds without permission. Downtown learned of this and requested that he be reassigned.
Apparently the CAPS money is not to be used for such useless things.
There is no 'soul patrol' on 1711. When soul patrol is not at the D&D, they are watching the hoochies go into the clothing store by the Walgreens, like a bunch of weirdo's....I dont think they know what an honorable even is! As far as the guy who said something about the rape, good flash, great, but why haven't the people who catch burglars, or robbers, or even get a bunch of dope off the streets recognized? Those flashes weren't for rape, don't try and kid yourself about being the real police, you eat with the Sgt., and he hooks you up to try and look good. I would be embarassed to get that honorable, keep up the good work!
Why can't he purchase a popcorn machine with CAPS money? At least the machine would be productive unlike CAPS which serves no useful purpose.
Alright, I confess!
CAPS drinks the Kool-Aid--big time!

"As far as the guy who said something about the rape, good flash, great, but why haven't the people who catch burglars, or robbers, or even get a bunch of dope off the streets recognized?"
Read my post again.
"I've actually been on-duty when the first responding unit refused to put out the flash on a rape offender so they could be the car that caught him. They told other cars to move so they could leave the scene. The R/Sgt had to come on the air repeatedly asking them to give out a flash."
My point was that the R/Os DID NOT PUT OUT A FLASH BECAUSE THEY ARE SUPERHERO COPPERS WHO DID NOT WANT ANYONE ELSE TO GET THE ARREST. Putting out a good flash is avery important part of getting the bad guy.
Sometimes you get an honorable for something that is a minor roll in a big arrest. Othertimes you get screwed on a UUW (I did).
Oh ya, so what if the soul patrol is watching the hoochie ass coming out of the clothing store. You're probably watching the ass coming out of Brokeback Mountain at Lincoln Village.
