FOP Lawsuit

Someone referred us to Sun Times story today about two officers who are suing the FOP:
  • Two former Fraternal Order of Police members have sued the union, claiming they were kicked out for speaking to the Chicago Sun-Times and another newspaper about underreported salaries in the union's 2003 charitable organization report to the state.
We know of both of the individuals suing the FOP. Both have appeared in various comment threads here and both have reached out to contact us on occasion. Anyone know anything about this or care to comment? We remember there was a large stink on the old SCCN Bulletin Board regarding a bunch of this. And something to do with the 2001 (?) campaign for the FOP.

Mark "BADA BING" Donahue should use all of his $178,000.00 salary to defend this lawsuit and not the membership's dues but he will say he is defending the "honor" of the FOP and blame others for the lawsuit. If it is all lies Donahue should have filed a lawsuit for "defamation of character" but the the defense to that charge is the "truth" and Donahue could "never handle the truth" could he?

I'd like to give a shout out to the 2 females that work uniform together in 016 3rd watch.

Thanks for writting my 61 year old retired city worker father a mover the other day!

I hope you got double points for writting him in your Level 1 DOC. Can I put you in for a DOC Award? Lord knows there are no real criminals in that area.

I'll tell him to get an EVEN BIGGER "FAMILY MEMBER" sticker to cover the entire rear windshield, since your observation skills are not on key.

Again, thanks for fvcking $50.00+ out of a copper's dad! Keep up the good work, Ladies!!

I think what he is saying maybe some courtesy should have been extended. He did not say a violation was not committed. We are able to exercise discretion on traffic stops. I have never written a P.O. , their Family or anyone over 60 yrs Old. If writing Senior Citizens floats your boat then go at at it, If you ever write my Dad I will find you.

Professional courtesy goes a long way esp in this industry. Retired people have it bad enough on a fixed income. Retired coppers paved the way for the new kids on the job, without that 61 yo man's contributions and his coworkers you folks wouldn't have, court time money, susp days that only affected your retirement date and not your bidding senoirity, working day furloughs, watches that didnt rotate every 30 days ,and endless list of benefits, that he didnt have when he started his career. He also protected you when you were a child going to school everyday. Shame on them. Guess they couldn't see any gangbangers to write up. (EWW gangbangers are scary... )
But remember what comes around goes around.
No one is condoning that with the "sticker" you can break the law. Folks do it all the time with and without. I have been bless a couple times with a warning, or just a "slow down" and I have no stickers. But I did reflect on my driving, and it did keep me in check. So the purpose of the traffic stop worked, without the additional fine.

If you are the police you should get respect and a play from other coppers. If you are not the police, it is a diffent story. Anybody can say they are related, or some other bullshit. We, the real police, have no way of knowing if someone is a father, uncle, wife, brother, cousin, or freind of a CPD officer. So many people lie and bullshit us. If you are driving like a big asshole, or you have an attitude when you get stopped, then fuck you, you desserve a ticket. You would be suprised how many guys and girls get stopped driving 80 miles per hour on Archer Ave and then get stopped by CPD and say "my daddy is a copper in narcotics". Well, guess what, fuck you. 80 mps on Archer (30mph zone) you get a ticket. This is not a simple mistake. If you drive like a big fuck asshole, you get a ticket, Beeeeeoooootchhh.!!

Shut the fuck up fag! I WORKED the 011th District too, so what.

I'm not even the guy who posted the comment, and I wouldn't be stupid enough to post threats here that I may carry out in the future.

Just know this my alleged fellow ranger, a case can just as easily be put on you or any other puta cop that has no respect for the family of police...tickets are for the index and for BITCHES.

One more thing, cuz some of you young bucks aren't humbled down enough, I saw plenty of coppers that worked IN the 011th District that weren't worth a pimple on a fly's ass. They only locked up people when they absolutely had to or on TVB's of hypes...if this doesn't apply to you then good, but all the other punks and paper jumping broads that I saw and see there now are cowards.

Bozo criminal for today comes from the International File in Berlin, Germany where an unidentified bozo filled her car up with gas. And, with the price so high, she found that she didn't have enough money to pay for it. So, she came up with a bozo of an offer. She would go to the nearest ATM to get some cash and, as a show of good faith, she would leave her friend behind as a "security deposit." Much to the manager's, and her friend's, surprise, she never returned. He friend told the cops where to find our bozo and she was charged with theft.

They amended their paperwork because they made a mistake. That's why pencils have erasers. No fraud was ever alleged. It was an error.

NO SHIT. But, its the IDIOTS that get these guns and its the idiots that when they were ten years old mouthing off to the teachers in the schools the idiots should have got smacked right in the kisser, but no...you can't touch the kids now days. Like too much liberalism. Where's the parental guidance? Try to use any kind of force these days and you are f*cked. In the good ole days people had respect for cops, now thanks to liberal thinking,etc. THATS WHY WE GOT THE SHOOTINGS.

I wouldn't write a 60 year old (doesn't matter what color or race) just because I don't want to lecture or punish someone who's almost old enough to be my parent. That being said, I have no problem with writing a person who "claims" to be a family member of a copper if...

A: The relation to the copper can't be verified

B: The violation was pretty severe

C: The person who commited the violation is a total asshole with a shitty attitude

And yes, I was a Fillmore Ranger, too. Bragging about arresting "real" criminals with a long rap sheet in 011 isn't too hard when it pretty much describes 80% of the population there. If you can't make a felony pinch in 011 it's because you went out of your way to avoid it. Hell, if you do a street stop and run four name-checks, one of them is guaranteed to have a warrant. So lighten up, supercop. Wait 'til you've spent two decades in the ghetto and you've been sued 5 or 6 times... you might have a different perspective on things.

"Professional Courtesy" is for sworn members, not family members. A "Courtesy" can be extended to family members, depending on the situation, and their attitude.

I've dealt with asshole family members, and they got what they deserved. I've also dealt with asshole coppers, and they got a "GO FUCK YOURSELF," but not a ticket.

If you have a problem with someone writing a family member, take it up with them. When you post that shit here, you only reinforce to the public at large that reads this blog what a bunch of assholes we are.

I'm no saint, but I try real hard to make sure I follow the rules of the road. I don't want to be pulled over or get in an accident. If you drive right, you don't need a button.

Be careful what you wish for.....any cash settlement or judgement would come out of the FOP treasury (meaning OUR DUES).

Wait til it all plays out and hear every side of the story before you make judgement. If Mark & Company were out of line, they'll pay out of THEIR pocket, not the FOP's.

"In 2004, Harej complained internally to the FOP that Donahue underreported his salary to the attorney general's office, the lawsuit said. Later, Harej and Hallinan took their complaints to the attorney general and the newspapers, which published stories."

It looks like they tried to go through the (proper) steps when they found something that wasn't right.

Why is it that Donahue undereported his salary which turned out to be MORE than double?

How come he hasn't gotten into trouble for that?

Ask Lumpy Rutherford A/5 Chairmen of the Trustees how many times I gave him information concerning these issues.

The course the Citywide Team took was to stonewall everything.

The loyalty is to the Citywide Team and not the membership of FOP.
They count on no one looking or caring and a lot of the time they pay the percentages.

Well this time the odds went against them and a huge benefit of a lawsuit is

Many of us here spent many years in "working districts" like 11, 7, 15, 10, the duece, etc. Yeah, yeah, yeah... we know, we're all a bunch of old hacks and you're the only "real police" now that we've moved on the greener pastures. Whatever, sonny. Just remember, we were doing all the same shit you're doing now but we did it without the help of the computers you so heavily rely on, with shittier cars, with less manpower/back-up, and all the other modern conveniences that have come about in the past 10 to 15 years. I was the police when you were still playing with Hot Wheels cars, and others here were the police long before your parents even met. It's obvious that you lack respect for the old timers who've payed their dues and slowed down over the years. Shame on you. Just remember, you'll be there too, some day.

Okay, so that is one lawsuit in which the FOP is trying to quash the freedom of speech by expelling the two members from the union. That has a chiling effect for future elections. Plus, no member has ever been expelled by the FOP (that I am aware) prior to this, whether under Nolan or Dineen.

But the other part of this question is - What about the EEOC lawsuit? The one that is filed by a pregnant female attorney who was in the office of the FOP and was discriminated against because she was pregnant and driven out by the union officers. They are apparently also already in the deposition phase. The FOP could lose very big on this cause of action.

Good luck to the two officers who filed, they have every right to file. Wouldn't it be interesting if the FOP has to write a monthly rental check out to them for the use of the building!

U.S. Marshal Killed in Police Shootout

PDF | Email
The Associated Press
May 14, 2006 10:01 PM (8 days ago)
MEMPHIS, Tenn. - A deputy U.S. marshal was killed in a shootout with police officers, who had stopped the agent for driving erratically early Sunday, authorities said. One officer was wounded



Mary Fisher, 46, refused to stop when officers tried to pull her over and led the officers to her home around 6 a.m., according to Sgt. Vince Higgins, a police spokesman.

When the officers told her to get out of the car, she opened her door, pulled out a gun and started shooting at them, Higgins said.

Officer Patrick Taylor, 34, was shot in the leg. He was taken to a hospital, where he remained in stable condition.

The other officer, whose name had not been released, was unharmed.


Both officers have been relieved of duty while the investigation continues.

Fisher was pronounced dead at the scene. Police said they could not say how many times she was shot.

Fisher had been in Memphis for several years and began her career as a deputy marshal in the early 1990s, according to the U.S. Marshal's Office.

"Nobody saw this coming. No, there's no prior history that I'm aware of that would have brought this on," said David Jolley, a U.S. Marshal spokesman.

Sheriff's deputies went to Fisher's home just before 10 p.m. Saturday after a woman there dialed 911 and hung up.

Fisher was gone by the time they arrived, but a work associate at the house told deputies Fisher was delusional and had driven away, according to a joint statement from the sheriff's office and police.

Her car was spotted a few hours later driving recklessly near a crash scene police were investigating, authorities said.

The officers called for assistance, and Taylor and the other officer responded.

To make a long story short, a J.O.Copper wrote my wifes Uncle for going through a Yellow light upon returning from the cementary after burying his Father. The Copper said"Well since he's in the ground now,you don't get to go through intersections without stopping." I was already in the Banquet hall and did not witness this, but did read the ticket.The next day I went to 16 2nd watch roll call and spoke to then Sgt, now a N/W side Tact Lt. who pulled the guy out off roll call and stood there while I was able to "question" this ass about his actions. Then the Sgt "spoke" to this individual and come court day, all was taken care of. This was back in 95/96.They just don't make bosses like they used to!But it is a shame that after all we go through,there are some Coppers who just don't get it about personal courtesy.

How hard is it to use the Dudes cell phone and call the alleged family member up? There are alpha files in all the districs or use your computer to look up the guys name.A courtesy call can happen on the streets as well in the station. I'm just saying that if you want to go the extra mile there are ways to verify/disqualify a named being dropped.

If true about the FOP female attorney, she is not the only female FOP ran out. Anyone remember Podgorney's sec. that handled med. issue's, good background in labor and was a prior union steward with a big company. Doherty dumped her out of the blue. Reason just not workin out! Did any of you wonder what happened to her?

Here is my .02 cents on the issues being bandied about: the H&H puffenstuff lawsuit, have to see the complaint.
The nonsense pissing match btn "fillmore rangers" and who really is the Po-leece....when I 1st got over to 011, John and Paul, if you worked there you'll know who I'm refering to,pulled me off to the side and said, "So? you got the victim and the offender, now all you need is a good witness otherwise it ain't going anywhere." Golden advice.
With extending goodwill to family members: I've only accidently wrote a family member and that was because said family member never told me who their dad was. The P.O. contacted me and it all came out in the wash. Someone drops a name, I'll get hold of the P.O. -do you know such and such because they are droping your name. Lets take care of our own, because no one else will.

It's Not All Real said...

"Professional Courtesy" is for sworn members, not family members. A "Courtesy" can be extended to family members, depending on the situation, and their attitude.

I've dealt with asshole family members, and they got what they deserved. I've also dealt with asshole coppers, and they got a "GO FUCK YOURSELF," but not a ticket.

I agree with you.

The only problem is that the asshole coppers that you tell to "GO FUCK YOURSELF" but are not given a ticket get CR's.

Last week, far south side district, jerkoffPO cuts across 3 lanes of traffic, nearly causing a crash, right in front of marked car. When he's pulled over, he doesn't immediately id himself and has an attitude. Eventually the onduty gives him the attitude back and sends him on his way. What does jerkoffPO do??? He goes into the station and gets a CR.

Give a play-get a CR.

I stopped a Lt.'s kid the other day who I know was scoping out a garage or home to burglarize..he has several theft and burglary arrests in his past..am I supposed to give him courtesy? You have to look at every situation as it is, sometimes people don't deserve any courtesy, just because it's a cop's family member dosent mean they're not going to act like a jagoff and deserve to be locked up..

If the above poster can't differentiate between the copper's relative being late at a red light and a coppers burglar relative who might commit a burglary he's an idiot. And we have alot of those on the job. Idiot.

How many times are these two idiots going to post on this subject. Sounds just like they used to at the meetings. Example: Idiot #1-"Why this is my fantastic idea, yours is wrong, Mark" Idiot #2-"Yes, that certainly is a marvelous idea, Mark, you're wrong" Idiot #1-"Why thank you for your wonderful comments on my fantastic idea Mr #2" Idiot #2-"Thank you #1 for acknowledging my marvelous comments on your fantastic idea, and Mark is still wrong". Remember the circlejerk these two pulled on the mikes? (NOT the Mikes)A little levity there, thank you. Give it up already. Nobody liked hearing the shit you had to say to begin with. The only thing you ever did was be a pain in the ass at the meetings, anyway. Especially by law and constitution meetings. Like getting drilled without novacaine or KY.

The FOP exercises it's CLOUT and power by dropping potential contender for the presidency from UNION ROLLS. Sounds like what happened to maria Santos when she was thought a threat to da mayor. Also dropped from state thanks to Mark $'s Donahue $165 k a year now.

Don't forget at the first board meeting of the new administration all the inside guys were voted an additional $500.00 a month just for attending meetings they should be going to. Sounds like a nice side job, actually doing your job.

Plain and simple. They didn't WANT THE MEMBERSHIP KNOWING WHAT THEY MADE.

THEY ALSO GOT THEIR RETRO CHECKS CUT TO THEM WITHIN A WEEK BY THE FOP AND THEY GOT RETRO PAY ON FOP SALARY WHICH WAS INCREASED AS WELL. MUST BE NICE WHEN A GUY IN BLUE ON THE STREET WITH OVER 10 YEARS IS PULLING IN 65K APPROX.
FOP SALARIES FOR INSIDE 8 GUYS OVER 1.5 MILLION IN OUR DUES!!!

AND OUR PENSION FUND IS GOING TO SHIT WITH STEVE ROBBINS THE FOP GUY IN THERE WHO DOESN'T EVEN UNDERSTAND THE MATH.

GOD HELP US ALL! THE FOP ISN'T!!!

sometimes parents or family don't mention the police connection until after the citation is written. My dad drives like shit and won't say his son is a cop. He just goes to court and fights the ticket and usually wins.

they may be dogs and afraid but it wasn't mentioned if the PO's father spoke up after immediatly being stopped.

very true i've had the occasion to write a citaion to a po's daughter because of a traffic accident and anothers father during a seatbelt mission.neither spoke up about being related until i came back with the ticket. however all worked out in the end in court.family members have to be taught to tactfully mention the connection before we leave with their license and head back to the car

One issue a a time -
The professional courtesy goes towards minor traffic violations, not criminal charges such as burglary (mentioned earlier). Next time you see the kid staking out a garage, stake him out. Let's face it the garage he is about to hit is probably one of ours.

In regards to the union leadership - These Union Officials are on the same agenda that the previous administration was, and that the next administration will be....
THIER OWN!!!

They were disgruntled with the prio leadership, ran a campaign against them, and won.

And now they are in office, reaping the benefits.

As it was then, is now, and will always be.

Maybe the cop's dad who is not a retired cop-a retired city worker- behaved in such a manner so as not grace himself with "professional courtesy" I personally have been treated less than human by some fellow officers family members. Not to mention-the members of officers families are sometimes criminals- o wait so are a lot of fucking cops!

Any copper who writes a copper's family member..when that family member is respectful, is a piece of rectum butter!

Who cares if you can't verify that they are who they say they are?

Do you need the mover so bad that you can't extend the benefit of the doubt?

That said..There are exceptions to every rule. if someone is being an ass or...hell! You people know what crosses certain lines.

These retards who write copper's family members to prove a point, or satisfy some sociopathical jonez deserve to be sent into the ghetto and forced to work the REAL street instead of hiding out in 016.

Why do they work in 016????
Because they are afraid, and know that copper's wives and kids typically won't fight with them!

Cowards!
