Quick Hits
When you need a Quick post - Quick Hits covers the bill:
- Chicago Firefighter hits it big on NBC's "Deal or No Deal." $464,000 big. Not bad. And yes, he's going to Disney World - with his wife and three kids.
- Marine who survived two tours in Iraq falls victim to gangbangers here in Chicago. Channel 2; Channel 5; Channel 7.
- Short little piece on the Channel 7 website about what has been addressed in our comments section about the 3 lieutenants winning a lawsuit over retaliation for having the audacity to complain about business as usual.
- Gee, do you think this may have been an execution of sorts for dope money? They knew exactly who they were looking for and left him there dead, all while claiming to be the police. At least the media isn't claiming "suspected rogue police." They must realize that sort of thing went out of style after St. Valentines Day 1929.
- Two sets of rules - again. This time for boot eligible bosses in the Revenue Department.
- The Al O'Connor story hits the media. Be sure you go and vote for Al at this link here. Go! Now!

Booters get booted. Only in Chicago!
Way to go, Sun-Times!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and... many of those Revenue people need to get booted!!!!!! lol
3rd?
Just curious but... are these officers still on the job?
What a fu@#ed up city:
Revenue and CPD already had their time in the boxing ring, lol and Revenue lost ): Yeah double standard. You got tickets no prob.
Hey, who or what the heck is their protector/security person that's mentioned in article's, better yet is that a property custodian with a screwdriver or St. & Sans with a wrench? Guns need not apply.
Congratulations to the three Lieutenant's (two from 021) who sued the city and won over $350,000.
Note to CPD, if you discriminate against white people in the promotional process, you will reap the whirlwinds.
Congrat's, know all three of you have been thru hard and trying times. Remember, Watch Your Backs! City frowns on winners! You know the ploy, the bit Kool Aid drinkers and players will try to keep sticking it to you. Sad but true.
This dept. needs to be further investigated, on the way the powers conduct themselves by refusing to handle issues and complaints properly. The dept. is reactive not proactive and filled with vegeance! Stand up for what is right and wrong on this job and your fighting your way through steel doors without a crow bar, blow torch or bolt cutters.
boot the mayor's car!!
reading the morning papers...the way its written sounds like he was shot by a passenger in his own car!
whats up with 1634's beat?looks like the east end is falling fast
I don't get it. This isn't about the streets of Chicago. He couldn't survive the OCCPUPANTS OF HIS OWN CAR in Chicago. I believe that you are not to say anything against the dead, but his killers were with him. They are people that he ascociated with. This has nothing to do with street violence. It's equivilent to a domestic homicide and you will never Police those away.
ooops, associated-sorry, but you get my point
Note to CPD, if you discriminate against white people in the promotional process, you will reap the whirlwinds.

Note to the reading impaired person who typed this: They didn't win the discrimination part of the lawsuit. They won because the City retaliated against their complaints by transfering them to far away districts and different watches. HUGE difference.
CAN ANYONE TELL ME IF THE SEAT BELT MISSION NEAR ADDISON AND CICERO FOUND THE SHOOTER FROM THE LATIN KING, OPPS, I MEAN MARINE, THAT WAS SHOT? CAN WE JUST STOP THESE STUPID MISSIONS!!! PLEASE!
You saying the kid was a Latin King? Are you sure it wasn't something he did in his younger days?
Article said he recently took the CPD test and his wife is a NYC PO. And the article said he served two tours as a marine in Iraq. Kids that get discipline in the marines don't tend so much to return to wayward youths, and its really not nice of you to bring up this suggestion unless you have solid evidence that he is a current gangbanger. I'm gonna be surprised if you do, and if you don't than please take it back.
The Homicide at Cook County Jail NOT count as a homicide in Chicago?
WELL, HE WAS BACK FROM IRAQ. GOOD FOR HIM. HE WAS HANGING WITH HIS LATIN KING FRIENDS. ONE OF WHOM WAS ATTEMPTING TO KICK OUT A WINDOW IN A SQUAD CAR AFTER THE INCIDENT. HE WAS THEN ZAPPED. DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THAT? PROBABLY NOT. THERE IS MORE TO THE STORY... SOMETIMES YOU JUST CAN'T TAKE AWAY THE SHIT FROM THE SHITHEAD. I AM SURE THE SEAT BELT MISSION PROVED FRUITFUL.
Breaking news...
(I really didn't know using factual history was a conspiracy or that we were tring to intimidate people. Really.)
Plan for ‘Fred Hampton Way’ dropped
Tribune staff reports
Published April 26, 2006, 11:32 AM CDT
Ald. Madeline Haithcock (2nd) announced today she doesn't have the support to bring to a vote a controversial proposal to honor slain Black Panther leader Fred Hampton.
In a written statement distributed at the monthly City Council meeting this morning, Haithcock said that "certain interest groups have successfully conspired to confuse and intimidate the public on the issue."
"As a result, we do not have the necessary support to bring this matter to a vote in the City Council at this time," Haithcock said. "As of today, I will discontinue my efforts to pass the ordinance."
The Transportation Committee approved the honorary designation of a short section of West Monroe Street in February in what was considered at the time to be a vote on a list of routine items.
Only after the meeting did some chagrined aldermen discover that the proposal for "Chairman Fred Hampton Way" was meant to pay homage to the controversial Panther leader. Hampton was killed in 1969 during a police raid at his West Side apartment.
Committee Chairman Ald. Thomas Allen (38th) has wrestled since then with what to do, at first indicating he would hold the ordinance in committee, then suggesting that he might report it out to the full council and permit a floor vote.
On Monday, Allen said the City Council has more pressing issues to consider, and he would not bring the measure to the floor.
Under council rules, any alderman can discharge an ordinance from committee by mustering 26 of the council's 50 aldermanic votes.
Haithcock had vowed not to back down.
But in her statement Wednesday, she said the effort to get the street named for the controversial Hampton was "in no way intended to divide the City Council or disrespect the 13,000 individuals serving the Chicago Police Department."

Even if it was "in his past" (Marine or not) this guy had no place on this job. We got way too many gang bangers already.

What makes this guy a gangbanger?
A United States Marine, Home on leave, married to a New York Police Officer....oh yea! he was Hispanic, he just got to be a member of the Latin Kings
Did u read the post, he said he was with kings who were trying to kick out the windows on the squad until zapped, even if he did get his life together, which it sounds like he might have, hanging with the old homies is probably what did him in, sad.
To The men and women of the 13th district GOOD Luck with your new Commander -- If anyone didnt like Lopez, just wait you are in for a treat
Nice job by the high risk entry team last night in 006, did an entry on a search warrant for TRU, involving automatic weapons and rottweilers, 2 rifles recovered, 1-sks..nice job by all.....
I heard that the Marine that was killed on the northside was NOT over gangbanging but was because of a gay love triangle between the Marine and Sailor Navy Boys.
What do Marines and Submarines have in common? Sailors go down on both of them!
Where do men that flunk out of the Marines go? The Navy!
Did you ever notice that most guys who join the Marines are usually 5'6" and under! Real men join the ARMY! And the Navy usually gets the fairy men.
You know why sailors uniforms are white? So the cum stains don't show.
My buddy told me that any guy that has the Marine synbol or stickers on the rear of his personal auto is secretly letting other know that he swings both ways. Some kind of homo code. Guys who wear the Marine pin on their CPD uniforms usually are 100 percent gay and dont swing both ways.
That may be true. I was told Semper Fi is latin for somebody who is a Sperm Food eater.
I seem to remember being berated yesterday, and over the past months, for suggesting the reason the brass weren't talking was because they were told to keep quiet over this DEAD issue.
You see, one can search the libraries for volumes of information from the past, but some information isn't kept in any archives, and isn't made available to the public.
The sign deal was politically dead from the second day of the controversey. It was never coming to a vote, and it was never going to be a reality. I tried to pass that information several times here, but some people wanted to keep pushing and pushing their agenda for no identifiable reason.
So what's the next useless cause to further disgruntle and lower the morale of the troops going to be?
That's tough luck.
Many of us realize there is plenty of information that is kept classified. So?
Do we take a gamble and just sit back and relax, and hope for the best to come to light? HELL NO.
In the meantime, people were reaching out for help, only to have (SILENCE).
You call it an "agenda." Perhaps you don't know what the police memorial is about. The individuals who signed the petition DO.
P.s. Don't forget to buy a brick!

It appears a bunch of high school kids have invaded this site. While they are here, perhaps some of the adults could teach them good schoolboy and schoolgirl lessons. I'll start:
Lesson #1: Ranger school (Army) is far and away the most insanely difficult school to get through. They literally starve you for weeks to the point where you will eat dirt and drink swamp water.
Navy Seals are allowed to go through Ranger school. They have a HIGHER than average drop-out rate. Guess what else though (and this relates to the height comment above): The average graduate of Ranger school is below-average in height.
I'm 6'00 and not a graduate. But I'm always willing to help someone when they think they are throwing out an insult, and they themselves risk being the butt of the joke.
Lesson over
You don't have to go back more than a few years to find rogue Chicago cops. These are the ones that got caught. Sorry to burst your bubble. I guess we still need internal affairs after all.
Glad to hear that stupid street-naming thing isn't going anywhere. Bad idea.
Phil Cline is on WLS-AM 89 radio now, Roe Conn Show. Taking caller's calls 312 591-8900
Sgt's retro checks coming Monday or Tuesday, news from the PBPA.
Vegas, here I come!
I like to know how many of you guys that are poking fun at the military and a young man who served his country not once but twice in a war were actually in the military and served their country?????
After that shooting in 17 the bosses great problem solve was to have PO's hand out flyers. Asking the citizens of chicago to help find the shooter. Whats next should the po's go door to door with flyers and cookies. The great CPD had become soft!

192 018 O'Donnell, William
620 WELCH,

Most guys serve in the military because they couldn't find a job or they wanted to become a tough guy. What a waste of time. Uncle Sam sends you than fixes up the enemy better than before. Oh, don't forget how your VA benefits are getting cut. Welfare dogs do better that you.
Koleman a Commander?!?!?!?!?
WTF is this world comming to?
I remember when she was Capt. in 024. What a useless bag of shit she was.
Well, if your lucky, she'll continue to be a do-nothing piece of shit who locks her door to all POs.
God forbid if you should ever need even a small favor. You're fucked!
Please pass on food establishments in 013 for our new commander to eat in. She feeds every other hour on the hour in order to keep that fantastic body she has.
5:36,
You are a fucking idiot!!! She on the hour EVERY hour.
Looks like former golden boy now dumbass OBAMA boy for Treasurer is in the news.
Colman is a great boss!!! I would follow her into a burning building, however, ass would get stuck in the door frame and I would not be able to get in.
How about some news out of "Thirty-Fifth Street" Hey I thought you said that another sergeants class was about to be announced in April ?? Any word on when or how many??
Hear that a class of 20-25 Lt's next Monday.
Colman is a great boss!!! I would follow her into a burning building, however, ass would get stuck in the door frame and I would not be able to get in.

Does that mean she isn't doing radio commercials for that weight loss place anymore? Did they fire her?
If Phil is crying over man power issues for the summer, how the hell do you explain the last transfer order with all those people going to SOS and TRU?
Looks like another summer of NO TIME DUE for us District pukes!!!
Real nice.
here we go again,
did they make sgt's? when did they?
when will they? are they going to? what about Lt's? did they make Lt's? you said they would, well did they?
Sergeant's class starts Monday. List will come out tomorrow. This comes a very reliable source in personnel.
SEAT BELT MISSIONS SAVE LIVES!!!!!!
GET WITH IT,YOU MORON!
IF THE GOLD STAR CLOWNS AT THE IVORY TOWER SAY THAT SEAT BELTS MISSIONS SAVE LIVES, SOLVE GANG CRIME, AGGRAVATED BATTERIES, ETC... THEN THEY DO BECUASE DOWNTOWN SAYS SO.
SO IN YOUR FACE YOU LOGICAL THINKER W/ COMMON SENSE, YOU ARE NOT ADVANCING THE AGENDA OF THIS DEPT. BY THINKING THAT WAY.
The Chicago POlice Department,
150+ years of tradition,
uninpeded by progress.
Commander Lodding. He worked in 011 and Tac in 011. Not only did he work hard but he worked smart. He hasnt forgotten what a Blue shirt is, and that he use to wear one.
Worked for him when him recently when he was a Lt. still a class act.
021 is getting a good man.
I like that line......

Mind if I use it? I will give the credit to Anonymous.
If you look at the past ISSUE of POICE STAR magazine when they featured a bio about Supt. Cline you will notice in one the picture's from the late 70's then Sgt. Cline is seen w/ P.O. Coleman and another P.O. arm in arm smiling for the camera. This should surprise NO ONE. As far as her ability or inability goes I remember there was this copper in court on a gun case which had got continued . I'm standing there and my case starts when Sgt. Coleman tries to get the Judge to change the continued court date from the gun case that just ended becaue the copper got it continued for a date which was his day off. Sgt. Coleman wanted the officer to continue it on a day he
was working. The copper kept telling her all dates were bad except the date he gave the Judge which happened to be his day off. Sgt. Coleman gets it brought to the Judge who looked at her like she was nuts and asked the copper if the date was good and of course the copper said yes and the date stayed the same. The look on Sgt. Colemns face was PRICELESS. She acted like that copper was taking money right out of her pocket, it was like "how dare this officer get paid for a court date (gun case no less) when he is working days".
If this is the future of the Dept. WE ARE DOOMED.
Looks like another summer of NO TIME DUE for us District pukes!!!
Real nice.

Thats what the medical is for my man, dont be scared take 3 days and enjoy it!
Read "50 Little Mayors" an article on page 7 in Chicago Tribune Magazine (April 23) regarding west side politics and Ald Carothers.
Im a marine and i love it through the back door!!!, And i still love hot dogs...WHAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaattttttt
Lodding is a class act, Stanley had a problem of staying awake at the DOC meetings maybe the Inspectors will follow her act. Lt's tommorow.
Was at the academy today....there was a block of lockers being reserved for LT pre service training, I bet there will be a list coming out in the next few days
Stanley is a no-class, ignorant, racist bitch.
Lopez, OTOH, is a gentleman and deserves the promotion. Congrats, Bob!
He is not affiliated with any Gang. He is a victim of Gang violence does'nt make him a bad guy. He has one arrest in 2000 for weed. Does'nt make him a criminal or a gang member.But of course the cop who made those statements is probably affiliated with the LKs just like alot of other Police on this job.
All what people going to TRU/ SOS? I think TRU got 4 and SOS got 4, big deal, jealous you weren't one of them? quit crying and do your job, everybody is shorthanded, even TRU and SOS.......whiny bitches..
