Controversy Burning Out?

As reported here a few days ago, Alderman Tom Allen (38th), chair of the Transportation Committee has decided not to call the Hampton street sign for a vote this month and his procedural move looks to have hamstrung the entire effort at the moment. From the Sun Times:
  • Allen's legislative maneuver leaves Haithcock with only one option: Wait 60 days after the Feb. 27 committee approval date and then try to round up the 26 votes needed to "discharge" the committee over Allen's objections.

    That's a tall order. Proponents have acknowledged they don't have 26 votes. And they might even lose a few on the procedural vote.

Of course, Bobby Rush (D-scumbag black panther and racist) who is so free with the advice when telling the Superintendent to shut up and run his department, continues to jump on a local matter that has NOTHING to do with the US Congress. From the Tribune:
  • "I intend to fight this to the bitter end," he said. "We will get 26 votes, but I want to meet with [Allen] first."
So kudos to Tom Allen for at the very least, throwing a wrench into the works here. Too bad the officers of this Department have to look to a civilian for a little support and inspiration rather than their own supervisors who can't be found within a mile of controversy unless it involves them paying $250 bucks a month for their cars.

Police shooting in 005 last night on 1st watch. Off-duty copper got robbed. Shots rang out. Thank God the Officer was not injured.

005th District Officers did an excellent job of tracking down the offender by following his footprints for over 3 blocks in the snow. Weapon & proceeds recovered in his possesion.

So, naturally none of these Officers had a personal break, let alone a lunch break.

Yet, when Captain White came on duty, she came up to the Area. Instead of congratulating her fellow 005th District Officers on a job well done, she was bitching about them being on overtime.

Gee, it really makes you wanna work there.

I feel that the FOP should demand HAZARD pay from the City for any Officer having to work in the 005th District.

Or here's an idea Phil, give C.W. the command spot at the southwest closet of the northeasternmost building at O'Hare.

As for myself. I wake up everyday and thank the lord I am a white person living in a quiet area of the city where gun shots don't ring out and drive bys aren't happening.

If I was an old fat nasty looking black woman I would be pissed at the world also and taking it out on everyone. Do you blame her? She has to pretty sad and torn in turmoil.

So, this is 2nd City Cop Blog site
I have heard about this site at roll call. It was said that this site had great potential and a good idea at its offset. But like everything else that COPPERS do, there is always an element that comes around and ruin it for everybody else. This site has been depicted as a place for ranting, raving racists in "BLUE"
It might be best if 2nd City go into a sign up and register mode. That way cowardly racist would have to think twice before they bombard others with their stupidity
Its a shame that some of us will never grow up.

Our pension is seriously underfunded. The Fireman fund in even worse condition.

FOP in 03-04 forgave the city a big chunk of money owed to us by the city, which was suppose to go into the pension. Pensions are suppose to be first and foremost in paying, Ha, ha on us poor souls. Underfunded for yrs. now.
It will hit new hires, 1st. more due from you, less shared by city. Even a smaller reduction by the city will naturally alter the lng. term total. I have 20 and I am passing on the baton to you, I am old schooled, make a difference kid.

Whether your pension will be there for you is hard to say, we sure hope so, god forbid. Become active when you can in FOP, and listen very careful at what is being said at the mike, when officers get up to speak their turn on the floor. There is always a pattern. Feel free to speak your mind.

Membership needs to reunite not an easy task. Trust me each and everyone of us make up the FOP, they serve because of us not in spite of us. Regardless of who is sitting in office. They will be only as good as a united front expects them to be. Stay Safe

You are joking, right?? Brother, there will not be a pension when you retire. The Boomers will eat it all up and want seconds! The city pensions are UNDER funded and they want to institute a pension "holiday". That is a cute way of saying they will STOP funding it all together.

Deferred Comp? Don't bother. You can't POSSIBLY save enough money AND pay for a good house in a safe neighborhood plus send your kids to private school.

You will stay on the job untill 63 or til you die, which ever comes first. City medical care coverage for retirees ends in 2013. You will have 7 years on the job then! You WILL work till you are 63. Medicare will not kick until 65 (that is ofcourse IF it still exists). So you will have to plan for 2 years w/o medical care. For a couple at 64 years old, it costs them right now $175,000 to cover their health. 30 years from now, you can add one zero to the end of that.

Oh, and btw a shitty little ranch on the NW costs $400,000!!!!

The fact that the people and police who complain and complain and complain and. . . .complain sound so much like those who have been recently displaced as a result of the restructuring of public housing. The city, the mayor, the department and the leaders of that department owe you nothing besides compensation.

If you are not satisfied with the status quo please resign, please. You act as if this is an entitlement. You act as if you are above the fact that you get compensation. You get very decent compensation. Please just do your job. Study to get promoted, excel at your job and contribute. Wasting your energy on who gets what position or what promotion is just that - a waste of energy. Where in the world do you think it's different? In the corporate world? In the military? The state police? The federal government? It's no different anywhere.

The difference is that because you have the virtue of state allowed authority you think you have actual authority. You have as much authority as you can achieve with in the organization that is the Chicago Police Department. It is the same anywhere and everywhere.

If you are dissatisfied please try to make a living at something you can find happiness in. The citizen of Chicago, the visitors to Chicago, your families and you deserve better. They deserve your commitment to quality. They deserve your commitment to doing your job and doing it well.

Enough said.

I remember Bobby Rush running into the Courts building long ago when his pal, spree killer Gene Lewis waiting for his second death sentence had shot two people during his escape attempt.

The Ice Man as Lewis was called had 18 holes in his body after Det Crossett Hamilton and Ptlm Blackie McDonald shot it out with that killer.

Poor Bobby Rush was so upset! I somehow believe Rush was involved in Lewis' crimes.

the membership can't contribute enough to keep the pension aflot for the next 30-40 years. Boomers are on the quest for eternal life. They feel that they should be immortal and life forever. The rest of us are only here to feed them (and wipe their bottoms).

Someone look at their pay stub. Post how much per pay period you contribute to the pension. If the City (read: taxpayers) decides not to kick in anymore, that number on your stub is ALL that you will have going into the pension.

Do the math. Determine how many current Pension Collectors there are and how much they draw, that will equal "X". Now take "X" and divide that by the number of Pension Contributors. That will be the dollar amount YOU will have to give each pay period to make sure those guys enjoy their hard earned pension. Don't forget they want free health, dental and vision care....

You know, Crimefile's comment about Rush inspired me.

So much so, that I decided to do some research myself. In fact, once we're done, we plan on sending this little care package to Ald. Hancock, since she wants to honor a member of this party.

Here's just some of the goodies I found:
------------------------

http://www.yale.edu/ynhti/
curriculum/units/1978/
2/78.02.09.x.html


Let us now examine the New Haven Black Panther trials. Ericka Huggins was the leader of the Black Panther Party in New Haven and Bobby Seale was the national chairman. In May 1969, George Sams, the Panther field marshall, was sent to New Haven to investigate whether Alex Rackley, a fellow Panther, was a police informant. Rackley was subjected to interrogation and torture by the Panthers, according to testimony in subsequent trial. He confessed to being a police informant, and was later found dead.


In May 1969, George Sams, the Panther field marshall, George Sams reportedly told Seale that Rackley was a police informant, although Seale later denied knowledge of this fact. Meanwhile, James Ahern, then New Haven Chief of Police, had the Panther headquarters under surveillance. George Sams ordered that Rackley be killed. Lonnie McLucas allegedly fired the first shot, and Warren Kimboro fired the second shot that killed Alex Rackley. George Sams, disguised as a minister, fled to Canada, where he was later apprehended. Warren Kimboro and eight other members were arrested and charged with murder. However, all the Panthers, except Ericka Huggins and Bobby Seale, were set free. Arnold Markle, State’s Attorney for the County of New Haven, accused Bobby Seale of kidnapping, conspiracy to commit kidnapping, murder in the first degree, and conspiracy to commit murder. Markle also accused Ericka Huggins of kidnapping, conspiracy to commit kidnapping, murder in the first degree, conspiracy to commit murder, and binding with intent to commit crime. Yale Law School graduate Charles R. Garry was the defense lawyer for Bobby Seale and Catherine Roraback was the defense lawyer for Ericka Huggins.

From: David Horowitz <"Dhorowitz@earthlink.net>
Subject: Re: [sixties-l] Re: sixties-l-The Black Panthers

Jeffrey Blankfort was one of the propagandists for the Panther gang. As a photographer he took many of the pictures that created the heroic images of a bunch
of street thugs. Apparently he has no regrets for the damage he did. His comments here are typical fantasies. The Panthers never had support in the black community,
which was well aware of the Panthers' criminal activities. The Panthers were strictly the heroes of the white readers of magazines like Ramparts which ran
Blankfort's heroic images. The Panthers' criminality, as Newton and Bobby Seale
write in their autobiographies, was there from the outset. They recruited gangsters
quite consciously. The Party was launched nationally when Newton murdered a 26 policeman. As I pointed out in a previous post, 348 Panthers were arrested in 1969
for strictly criminal activities, while Newton was in jail (and the Party according
to Blankfort was free of his bad influence). The charges against them ranged from
wife-beating to armed robbery and murder. The personal smears directed at Hugh
Pearson and myself (Rockefeller life style -- yeah -- and "government-serving
propaganda pieces") are typical and traditional Stalinist tactics: everybody who
disagrees with the party line is a sell-out or a government agent. Discrediting
witnesses is how leftists were able to kill so many people in the 20th Century and
keep the support of "progressives" like Blankfort.

The police crime lab later proved that the note — dotted with misspellings and punctuation errors — had been written by Essex. The note said:


Africa greets you. On Dec. 31, 1972, aprx. 11 p.m., the downtown New Orleans Police Department will be attacked. Reason — many, but the death of two innocent brothers will be avenged. And many others.
P.S. Tell pig Giarrusso the felony action squad ain't shit.

On 3rd December, 1969, Hilliard was arrested and charged with threatening the life of President Richard Nixon. He was accused of saying at a meeting "we will kill Nixon". Later that month Hilliard was found guilty of carrying a gun and was sentenced to a 6 months in prison.
Hilliard was also charged with shooting at the police during the incident when Bobby Hutton was killed. In July, 1971, Hilliard was found guilty of this offence and received a one to ten year prison term.

In this interview, conducted in the spring of 1997, Eldridge talked with Henry Louis Gates, Jr. About the shoot out with Oakland police which led to his exile, and looks back at the legacy of the Panthers and the civil rights movement.




On the Oakland Shoot Out
When these riots started all over the country in the aftermath of the assassination of Martin Luther King -- I think he got killed on the fourth of April. This shootout that we had took place on the sixth and the seventh of April. So we saw it coming while the police were acting so we decided to get down first. So we started the fight. There were fourteen of us.
We went down into the area of Oakland where the violence was the worst a few blocks away from where Huey Newton had killed that cop so we dealt with them when they came upon us. We were well armed, and we had a shootout that lasted an hour and a half. I will tell anybody that that was the first experience of freedom that I had. I was free for an hour and a half because during that time the repressive forces couldn't put their hand on me because we were shooting it out with them for an hour and a half. Three police officers got wounded. None of them got killed; I got wounded. Another Panther got wounded.

----------------------------

http://en.wikipedia.org/
wiki/Black_Panthers

In May 1969, Alex Rackley, a twenty-four year old member of the New York chapter of the Black Panther party, was tortured and murdered because party members suspected him of being a police informant. A number of party members had taken part, and three party officers eventually admitted guilt. [11] Party supporters alleged that George Sams, the man who identified Rackley as an informer and subsequently ordered his execution, was an agent provocateur in the employment of the FBI.

It should be noted that James Adams, Deputy Associate Director of the FBI's Intelligence Division, claimed that COINTELPRO operations did not intend to foster violence nor to harm individual members of the organizations targeted. However the final report of Senate "Church Committee" which investigated the actions of COINTELPRO in 1975 and 1976 did not agree with Adams, and purported to demonstrate that the FBI "itself engaged in lawless tactics and responded to deep-seated social problems by fomenting violence and unrest." [8] fuck u On January 17, 1969, Los Angeles Panther Captain Bunchy Carter and Deputy Minister John Huggins were killed in Campbell Hall on the UCLA campus, in a gun battle with members of United Slaves, a rival black nationalist group, stemming from a dispute over who would control UCLA's black studies program. Another shootout between the two groups on March 17 led to further injuries. It was alleged that the FBI had made contacts with US in an alliance against the Panthers. [9]



The Black Panthers attracted a wide variety of left-wing revolutionaries and political activists. Among others, the party was supported by former Ramparts Magazine editor, David Horowitz, before he renounced socialism and gradually drifted to the political right. Decades later, upon the death of Huey Newton (who died in a shoot-out with rival gangsters), he would remark, "He (Newton) killed a lot of people." According to Horowitz, the Black Panthers once murdered a young, white female activist named Betty van Patten, whom he had introduced to the Party and who was representing it. After raping her, Horowitz claims, the members beat the woman to death with baseball bats.[12]


Between 1966-1972 when the party was most active, several departments hired significantly more African American police officers. Some of these black officers played prominent roles in shutting down the Panther's activities. In Chicago in 1969 for example, Panthers Mark Clark and Fred Hampton were both killed in a police raid by Sergeant James Davis, an African American police officer in the Chicago Police Department. In cities such as New York City, black police were used to infiltrate Panther meetings. By 1972, almost every major police department was fully integrated.

To the kid who wants to retire in 2037-2040, it's not to late kid, your young enough to get more schooling and get a real job or start your own business ( you can sell police supplies or uniforms to the police and fire and make millions).
If you plan to stay, you better put everything in deferred comp., work as many extra jobs as you can, eat soup everyday, drive an old car, don't get married, live with your parents as long as you can, and maybe, just maybe, there will be a piece of the pie left for you. Good Luck Kid!

Oh my God. Capt. Lillie Crump-Hales...where to begin? She's a merit EVERYTHING and is as dumb as they come. HATES the white man, so look out. She disciplines for the most minor infractions, yet thinks nothing of following only the rules that are convenient for her. Also, if Sgt. Prentiss Jackson is going to be her sergeant on the midnight, LOOK OUT.

Prentiss is a wanna-be-white-man piece of work. These two bosses together are deadly to the working copper. Just hope that the real s**t doesn't hit the fan because niether of them will have a clue what to do.

Also be aware that the fine Captain has her residence in 022, about 3 minutes from the station. She will never be late for work, and you better not be either. Or it WILL cost you.

JUST WENT TO THE RETIREMENT SEMINAR

One thing that was mentioned was the possibility of a TWO TIER pension system. In other words, if you are already on the job, you get the 20on/50age=-50% and the 29+1 day=75% deal. If you are new, maybe it will be 25 years on the job equals 50%.

Everyone should look at what the executives in industry are doing to their people. I am sure Ritchie is thinking about dumping our pension on the federal government insurance plan where we would get 40%. This way he can spend more on flowerpots and iron fences delivered by hired trucks. His opinion of city employees has always been, “If he does not like what we are offering he can quit.’

It is bad enough that the Social Security Benefits that we earned have been fucked by former federal inmate Dan Rostenkowski now we got to worry about our pension. (Can anyone post a mugshot of him, I'd like to use it.)

One reason he does not care is that he does not belong to any city pension fund. His pension if the Illinois State Legislator's Pension. Which follows him form job to job and he can collect ??? % when he retires, even if he is in the federal pen like Danny R. did. It's nice to write your own rules and send the taxpayers the bills. I'd like to know what medical plans the politicians have, their retirement perks and what their Golden Parachutes give them.

Time to smarten up, we were better off with Harold Washington, and we will be better off with a minority mayor who realizes that he/she better keep us happy or they are out. If we can dump Ritchie, Blogo, Mel, Burke then they will FEAR US, and we, and our families will be much better off.

20/50=50% If your 50 or over, 20 and day would =52 1/2%.

Also mentioned was if you are under 50 you go draw down lump sum.

Did you keep tips on how to get a better return, by wait dates, etc.?

I will be heading that way myself. Hut and hand fan in the middle of no where.

When I bought my first house, I thought that there was no way the price of real estate could go up. Well guess what? I WAS WRONG! Since I bought that house, I've bought several others and in each instance the value of the home has increased dramatically, almost becoming absurdedly so. My current home went up in value about $100,000.00 in less than a year and is now worth more than I ever thought it would be. No sir, the prices will continue to rise here in Chicago no matter what happens in the rest of the country. People want to live in a nice house in a nice area away from the beast. And that means the N/W side. They will go to extrordinary lengths to get that house, three jobs, peanut butter/jelly for lunch etc., etc. Yes siree bob, I will probably get a cool million for my 200 thousand dollar home when I decide to retire and sell it. And they will be saying then as they are saying now, that the price of real estate cannot POSSIBLY go any higher. But it will as it always has.

YES, 0405 you're right about the skyrocketing price of houses [especially N/W] BUT everything is relative, my brother. When you sell that house for a coool million, that Peanut Butter and Jelly 'sammich' will cost you around $350.00 !! We're stuck here in the City... take care of your self and your house---and life goes on. Stay Safe Out There and Continue to Back One Another Up!

unless your condo is right on the lakefront you will take a hit.

Alas sir,

Say all the derisive cheesehead jokes you want about Wisconsin but it is the most homogenious white population to be found. Grouse for shooting, trout, walleye, salmon in the creel, and they tried and sentenced the gook who murdered the six hunters less than thirteen-months after the incident in Exeland.

Yeah, folks up there might not know about life on Bt. #1111, but they're relatively normal, and conservative. And they speak English with a slight Norwegian twang-kinda quaint though. Thats why smart coppers have been buying up in the Northland for over fifty-years. Screw Chicago. Take the pension money and run! And don't forget-Save yourself-Vote McCain!!!
