Have We Made Our Point Yet?
Yesterday, someone ticked us off by posting about 20 asinine comments, one right after the other in the span of about 7 minutes.
Yesterday was NOT the day to go and piss us off.
For this, we apologize to our many readers who DO NOT require a babysitter 24/7/365. We of all people truly enjoy the benefit of being anonymous. It spares us quite a bit of grief where we work and in the spot we currently occupy. We mean what we said about this being a dictatorship - you don't like it, go elsewhere, because if we don't like it, it's going to disappear. Simple as that.
We can make this web site as serious and as sterile an environment as you can imagine. Our allowing only REGISTERED USERS is just one tiny step from making this blog a completely fun-free zone. Trust us, we enjoy the photoshopping and the occasionally amusing Seiser asides (we've even participated). But wading through some of this crap is just annoying to us, and we only come here two or three times a day to post and edit stuff.
Let's try to make this painless and enjoyable for everyone. Comments will be reopened to all very shortly and we hope we don't have to teach this lesson again for a while. Because although we got quite a few e-mails SUPPORTING registered comments, it does cramp everyone's style and that isn't what we started this for. We started it for everyone to GET information.

I, for one, totally support blogger registration. Notice how the potentially libelous posts have disappeared. The spelling and grammar are even relatively flawless.
Compare SCC with the NYPD RANT. Registration identifies those assholes that would try to sabotage a site with bald-faced lies, juvenile drivel, blatant racism, porn, etc. Yet the RANT is consistently hilarious.
A poster can still retain his/her anonymity by just using a virtually untraceable nickname. However, when some coward or provocateur crosses the line, a remedy is available.
I know many have their own agenda and disagree with me. Nonetheless, these totally "anonymous" bullshit posts leave much to be desired. One moron or troll with a devious agenda can disrupt an entire thread and any meaningful discourse therein.
I know all too well that the City will retaliate against those they perceive as an embarrassment to their deeply entrenched and corrupt practices. For those that find registration intimidating, research First Amendment litigation, including any of the basic information which I have recently posted on previous threads.
The power of the Internet in exposing the TRUTH is awesome. Still, one must separate the wheat from the chaff.
Whoever you may be, SCC, I'd be delighted to meet you. You are very talented.
Your site also provides understandably frustrated coppers with a therapeutic place to vent rather than keeping the stress of the job all inside. That can be even more hazardous than the job itself.
My heartfelt compliments to SCC.
I humbly submit one suggestion. While some of the longer posts provide compelling reading, perhaps you can give us a brief tutorial on how to post hyperlinks.
Sorry off the subject, but I called my buddy an ASSHAT and he was literally in tears...Love the ASSHAT.
Hyperlinks are easy. The tag you need to know is (a href=http://yoursite.com). All tags have a beginning and an end.
Say the address to the site you want to link to is http://www.TheFOPDoesNothing.com
And you want it to appear in a sentence. The way you'd type that in the comment box is as follows.
"And yesterday the FOP board (a href="http://www.thefopdoesnothing.com")voted(/a) for another way of screwing its membership when it agreed to get Daley's car washed every week, at our expense!"
Replace the parentheses with a "<" and ">" to open and close the link. Voila!
The way that the HTML code knows when to close a link is by the slash key.
I'd much rather see links in a post than whole sections of the story copied and pasted. Makes things so much more efficient and neat.
Whats with the news story about the Blacks that are gonna attempt to stop the Dan Ryan constructtion every day because of contracting??? I think all the tact teams are deployed there now.
GEEZ ARE THEY MAKING THE DANRYAN CONSTRUCTION A RACIST THING TOO?
Hey has anyone else heard about all officers in Patrol having to swip in at the begining of the tour?
I'll be honest, I really enjoy this blog, but I like anonyminity (sp?) better.
You made your point, and it's not all real! So why worry.

They did the same thing at the 63rd. and halsted mall. Always led by the GD-asshole, Jesse Jackson wannbe, police batterer Hal Baskin. He would show up with a bunch of guys who never worked a day of construction or any other job. Never operated heavy equiptment but they were gonna do the work? Appearantly when you win a bid in a black neighborhood, you are not allowed to bring your own trained and trusted employees. Amazing how every freakin' immigrant can find a job, bust their ass 14 hours a day and avoid an IR #, but these assholes can't (won't) get work. they won't work the way up, no no "gots to be the HNIC".
Good article. Is pretty obvious in France. Will be the case (similar yet different) here.
Muslim Europe
"Europe becomes more and more a province of Islam, a colony of Islam." So declares Oriana Fallaci in her new book, La Forza della Ragione, or, "The Force of Reason." And the famed Italian journalist is right: Christianity's ancient stronghold of Europe is rapidly giving way to Islam.
Does anyone know about the Biotech conference protests that will go on early this month? Any info?
I am an ASSHAT!

Well, let's see if your hyperlink tutorial works. I'm going to try post a 6-page link to a riveting article concerning the Black Panthers' bogus claims of "genocide". If it works, my thanks.
You can read it by clicking on href="http://www.edwardjayepstein.com/archived/panthers.htm
By the way, under the "Case of Larry Roberson", Dan Sampila, Ken Gorles and I were working the same watch (of the late Capt. Phil Moss) in Fillmo' wnen both were shot by Roberson at 610 S. California Ave.
I know that Danny and Kenny could tell the then unborn volumes about these murderous thugs.
Obviously, the hyperlink did NOT work. Also, I know there is a way that rather than a lengthy link appearing on the blog, there is a way that it will only appear in this case as "Panther "Genocide' Claims". How do you do that?

Thank you.
Hey Northside,
Didn't realize how good looking you are. WTG, John.
No April Fool's Joke either, John.
LMAO.
That was then (note the "11" on the old shoulder patch). This is now.
As they say, I couldn't get lucky tonight in a bordello with a roll of C-notes that could choke a horse.
Here ya go:
title
ok, i f-ed up....
open angle bracket: <
Then a href
then: ="
then your link
then close the angle bracket: >
then your title
then finish with open angle bracket /a colse angle brackt
A most interesting read about the black panther group. It all makes sense now, the breakfast programs and such being fronts.Glad to see the papers not printing anything about it but hey, we do have all these reports about the dan ryan closure which is more important.
get what information? b.s. too slow/too dumb to know what promos are up,what test scores are,etc....u think u know but u don't....i ain't convinced u know anything to keep us interested
agree with person that said information knowledge is slow. it is. a phone call to fop is all you need to find out any info...duhh?!GET A LIFE , GET OUT AND PLAY SOME BALL..don't sit around your computer all day..ARREST SOMEBODY to if your working. GET A LIFE.you might have started this for info but not doing a good job. i ain't being smartass, but i calls em as i sees em...STRIKE,YOU"RE OUT.
SCC---hey i think the last two posts were correct...i respect your taking the time to put up the site but the info is slow and wrong a lot of the times now more then ever. rumours are as frequent as those listings for your favorite a/2 gun unit. i can call fop and find out more info in 2 minutes then looking in your site for fifteen minutes. its starting to be PATHETIC.
point me in another direction..i'm out ta here too
What exactly is a blogger? How is that different from other? or anonymous? i am gonna be anonymous now but is a blogger better? nothing is explained..but i got to say this is my first time on here and this is so cool. i feel like a reborn soul knowing i can get some cool info now to tell the other cops of what is coming down when others will be scratching their heads saying how did you know? I'll be the envy of the district. the know it all guy...the go to guy. yea ..i'll be so cool all those new female p.p.o.'s will be wanting to hang around me.
WHAT A GEEK.
