Interesting Rumor
Let's track it down!
From a comments section, someone related that the Superintendent had ordered a reduction in manpower at 35th Street. Everyone and their brother (and we mean EVERYONE) knows that HQ is notoriously overstaffed. There was something along the lines of a 20% cut floated a year or more ago. The actual number ended up being quite a bit less due to who knows what types of shenanigans, but HQ went along with nary a hiccup. They even manage to send people to "Operation Closed Market" and still generate enough makey-work to choke a stable of horses.
To us, that means they could easily cut another 20% before anyone downtown actually saw an upsurge in the amount of work they are expected to (or paid to) actually perform. Seriously. Plus, it would open up a bunch more parking spots in the lot.
Let's hear from Fort Koolaid. We KNOW we have quite a following down there. Any truth to the rumors?

I am FIRST!!
Now give me my Kool-Aid!!
Quit it with the kool - aid crap, the "I am first" crap, the Seiser crap, the Area 2 gun team crap, stupid names like aldercreature and asshat. Can we please make this blog fun? I had to vent.
Say what?
Mr. Peter Karl has tendered his resignation as the CPD Commissar of Propaganda effective June 1.
After a summer sabbatical in Siberia and the Horn of Africa, he will assume his new position as chairman and CEO of our Kool-Aid Division for North America on or about September 5.
*Back on topic*
If man-power shortages in the districts were legitimate, then Seiser would do something about it.
If man-power cutbacks at 3510 S. Michigan were going to happen, then Seiser would have already done it. H-e-l-l-o - Seiser still runs it.
I'm 5th! Where be da Kool-Aid at?
I'm first,kool-aid,Seiser,Area 2 gun team,aldercreature,asshat,I had to vent too. Na,Na,na,na na,na.
Even better rumor~
I heard from two good sources Phil will be retiring around October and taking a post with Homeland Security.
An idea for next post is who will be the next Supt.
Rumour is YOU ARE ALL MORONS. I HATE MEN.
Major 35th/Mich cutbacks usually surface every spring in preparation for warm weather shooting season, but also in that conversation needs to be a recognition that the admininstrative staffs and desk numbers at the districts are also likely a little chubby, too.
But y'all who are eager to reduce manpower at HQ also can't be the ones who turn around and bitch to FOP when there's talk of having civilians do more admin work so cops can work the street. Whether their cops or not, someone gotta keep the paper moving. Agreed?
The problem is the Department hires civilians to do jobs that aren't necessary (District Manager, Crossing Guard Superisor, etc...) These could easily be done by a sworn officer in a much more efficient manner as part of that officers regular duties.
Take the District Manager in 025 for instance, who happens to make Lieutenants pay. For the 10+ years that she has been there, she has accomplished absolutely nothing other than creating a nice parking spot for her Cadillac nearest the front door. Why the front door when everyone else parks in the rear lot? So she can sneak out after two or three hours and run her errands.
If the Department was serious about saving money, they could eliminate this uselsess position and save an estimated $2,125,000 per year departmentwide. Think about it. . . the Department did just fine without them for 100+ years, as the District Secretary handled their assumed duties.
Thing is, neither the City nor the Department are interested in the effective allocation of resources. I guess the Department feels its better to pay a connected idiot a king's ransom to do what a qualified sworn officer could do as part of their regular duties.
they can start by cutting at least half of preventive programs. bunch o' do nothings.
Crossing guard duty as part of their regular duties? Holy jeezus, you might want to talk to ANY dispatcher on zones 6, 8, 10 or 12 over the last 40 years before doing this. Your intent might be good, but its a bad idea.
Change time between second and third watches is already difficult enough as it is. You start downing entire districts for 45 minutes in the morning and 45 minutes in the afternoon, and there'd be nobody left to stop criminals .
How can I get a JOB at Ft. Kool Aid?
I'm really into those fabulous BUKKAKE parties.
Phil could be the next tool for immigration control, his body could block a mile of border!
When Phil Cline retires you can bet your last dollar that he will push to have Maria Soto I mean Maher replace him. And because she is a female Hispanic with the added benefit of having an Irish last name she more than likely will get it.
If all the inside jobs were manned 24hrs just like we do, then I could see why they need so many people. But they only work days. For those that work nights, getting in touch with any of them has to be done on our own time. Just a shame that only certain jobs on the dept are 24hrs.
Frank Limon << the writing is on the walls for him. The nonsense of manpower at 35th is a ongoing Spring battle which usually ends in a huff. The department is in a circle jerk of more meetings then murders. If the big meetings are reduced to roundtable discussions (one on one of what is going on and solutions) about 100 police officers could be made available to be the police.
I'm not giving up M-F 9-5 or my parking spot though.

Again, who is Detective "BJ" from A/2. She looks like a pufferfish from sat.rantings a previous post.
BJ is featured in the saturday post.don't know who she is but evidently she has friends at the shedd aquarium. LOL those area 2 detectives are at it again. they are brutal bastards. if it weren't for the women there, no work would get done at all.
3-33 pm post FUN,YOU WANT FUN??? COME ON TO THE PARTY...THE PARTY IN MY PANTS. LMAO
Listen hear Dead end Detectives
Here is what a great boss thinks about you
"When Lemmer was down here at R & D all he wanted was advancement. I remember asking him if he ever wanted to be or would have liked to have been Detective, his reply "NO WAY, it's a dead end job."
I would like to personally thank Supt Cline for promoting this IDIOT out of here, thank you very much, sorry 023 but better you than us."
I would rather be a low life P.O. than sell my soul to be some asshat of a boss. Sorry....no offense to the few nice ones out there. And I do mean few.
But we need more people inside. The new automated camera system does more police work than an entire district of cars. Our PODs and traffic cameras prevent crime. The beat cop will soon be outdated. All police work will be done on-line.
Word from the inside-
All units and bureaus had to have their list of personel that would be going back to the districts.
No not a 90 day detail for the 6,7,8 periods. PERMANENT
After that no Blue-shirts will be allowed back into HQ without a To-From personally signed by the Sup whoever that may be......
Will free up some parking spots at the building
Who is the person who was in the Lieutenants class that dropped out? Did he or she piss hot?
A "heads up" for you and any male friends you have who may be regular Home Depot customers.
This month I became a victim of a clever scam while out shopping. Simply going out to get supplies has turned out to be quite traumatic. Don't be naive enough to think it couldn't happen to you.
Here's how the scam works:
Two seriously good-looking 20 or 21-year-old girls come over to your car as your packing your shopping in the trunk. They both start wiping your windshield with a rag and Windex, with their breasts almost falling out of their skimpy T-shirts. It is impossible not to look. When you thank them and offer them a tip, they say "No" and instead ask you for a ride to another Home Depot.
You agree and they get in the back seat. On the way, they start having sex with each other. Then one of them climbs over into the front seat and performs oral sex on you, while the other one steals your wallet.
I had my wallet stolen May, 4th, 6th, 8th, twice on the 10th, and three times yesterday, and very likely again this upcoming weekend.
Again - please beware!
Marie Maher as next sup.? Great idea, put a female puto rican in charge. Sheer brilliance!!!!!!!!
I just had to let everyone know that I'm the real police! I work midnights in 025 and my dookie don't stink. I even handle domestics 99, bet not to many of you coppers out there can say that. My social skills and sex life might be lacking, but that's just the price I pay for being the real police. Take care you guys, right now I'm heading out to Kids R Us to make some new friends hopefully.
I truely beleive that all the "jobs" at 35th street can be done over the phone. How about out sourcing them to India. Think about it. When your home computer takes a dump and you call the vendor you purchased it from, you get good ol' Punjob who then can fill out the CAPS service request. Daley could balance the '07 budget with this scam.
Can't anyone out the names of the two "merit" dicks that were in the latest classs even though they didn't pass the first part of the test? It is only fair to the rest of us....maybe the new IG should look into this
I have spoken. Hey...who left this banana peel on the floor? Excuse me, I have to go spank my monkey.
Can you have a thread where we can tell what song was playing when we got our very first blow job?
Mine was PARADISE BY THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS. Every time i hear that song, i get a raging purple hard-on.
If MM was put in charge her head would explode the way she micro-manages things. On a plus though the D-Unit could go back to doing real work than having her call and scream without knowing what the hell she is talking about.
wtf?
kraft ships me off to some &%$#@&% diversity training and i come back to see ya'll missed me much!
LIFT YOUR CUPS IN UNISON!
News flash!!!!!!!!!! Calling all cars, calling all cars!!!!!!!
M. Seiser and Big Joe Cassidy were just spotted over at Division and Keeler. The dynamic duo challenged the neighborhood silverbacks to a dance off. It was no contest as the veteran officers broke out all the old school dance moves. Joe Cassidy didn't even put his cigarette down as he won the crowd over with the bootscoot while Seiser did the Jitterbug with a bearded prostitute. The Alderman congratulated the two after it was over and granted them a year supply worth of hot cheetos!
Text of President Bush's speech on immigration Monday night:
Good evening. I have asked for a few minutes of your time to discuss a matter of national importance: the reform of America's immigration system.
The issue of immigration stirs intense emotions and in recent weeks, Americans have seen those emotions on display. On the streets of major cities, crowds have rallied in support of those in our country illegally. At our southern border, others have organized to stop illegal immigrants from coming in. Across the country, Americans are trying to reconcile these contrasting images.
And in Washington, the debate over immigration reform has reached a time of decision. Tonight, I will make it clear where I stand, and where I want to lead our country on this vital issue.
We must begin by recognizing the problems with our immigration system. For decades, the United States has not been in complete control of its borders. As a result, many who want to work in our economy have been able to sneak across our border and millions have stayed.
Once here, illegal immigrants live in the shadows of our society. Many use forged documents to get jobs, and that makes it difficult for employers to verify that the workers they hire are legal. Illegal immigration puts pressure on public schools and hospitals, strains state and local budgets, and brings crime to our communities. These are real problems, yet we must remember that the vast majority of illegal immigrants are decent people who work hard, support their families, practice their faith, and lead responsible lives. They are a part of American life but they are beyond the reach and protection of American law.
We are a nation of laws, and we must enforce our laws. We are also a nation of immigrants, and we must uphold that tradition, which has strengthened our country in so many ways. These are not contradictory goals. America can be a lawful society and a welcoming society at the same time. We will fix the problems created by illegal immigration, and we will deliver a system that is secure, orderly and fair. So I support comprehensive immigration reform that will accomplish five clear objectives.
whats up with u spouthsiders?leaving joe in a van for 3 months.lawdy,lawdy
tj flannigan says that he is the man
no jobs on the southside - plenty of min. wage ones. so we have to work 2, 3 or 4 jobs (the ones who don't deal, cheat on link cards, etc)
sorry joe. it was what we could afford
sgt. mcnamara (012) is a wacko nut who needs to back off of the third watch. This tool-shed rides on guys jobs that aren't even on his log. Maybe he needs to go on a boy cruise or whatever weird sex shit he's into. Stay out of Abla! keep it up pretty boy! I know what u do with the jiffy peanut butter and your dog!!!!!!!!!!
Next time you crawl into your beat car, ask yourself.... Am I fat, stupid, lazy, ugly or all of the above?
HI!
I was job hunting on careerbuilder.com, when I came across several openings for many postions with the CPD. No experience required!! Regular folks like me needed!!
Therefore, where do I sign up for the Lieutenant opening??????? I'll even consider Detective work! thanks
To 8:39
You hit it right on the head. At the PR fest in Humboldt Pk, she was walking in the crowd taking beer away from old crusty drunks listening to music by the stage as a District Commander and motherf*cking everyone-and she wasn’t directing it towards the crowd either. Worst management skills ever. Priorities?!!! It would be like trying to run iTunes on a commodore 64 computer, it would display a fatal error message and then explode.
No disrespect for the boys in blue that served, but what the f- is going on??

Good Lord......
the rumor about Cline leaving in late summer/early fall is getting around; with Maher as the replacement (a Daley going for the vote thing).....
I witnessed something very disturbing the other day in 011, I walked into bathroom and TommaBunns was fucking Sgt Trular in ass! Is that normal in 011?
Cline is gonna leave and go to Homeland Security in a few months. Daley will probably push for Maher, Hispanics are the fastest growing, and one of the largest, voting blocks. The legal ones that is

SHE EVEN LET A PRISONER ESCAPE.
SHE WAS DEFINITELY QUALIFIED FOR THE JOB (NOT).

THere's plenty of work to do in 012 if you can scrape your lazy ass out of the car and try doing it,still plenty to do in pilsen and they still have no problem dealing dope and shooting in abla daily, not to mention the northwest end picking up when rockwell closed and they moved east into st.stephens,but you probably never get in there either because you're too busy going from one starbucks to the other or waiting until you get a job to tell the zone you were "just headed for gas," or "just sitting down to lunch," getting to hear this constantly used to be comical,now it's just pathetic.012 used to be one of the best in Area 4 ,now it is the joke of Area 4.
As far as Mac, he has more time on special employment wearing socks with more time than most of you little pukes, and at least his shootings are verifiable.......

was that before or after here first day in the district where she ra over the boy on a bicycle?
ran over
Hey, anybody remember Cmdr. Bill Callahan, who's motto was "Ready, Fire, Aim!" Sounds like this guy in 023.
Mac is a good guy, he's just a nutcase.
. . . WHEN IS THIS GOING TO STOP???? We get treated like shit
by the City enough as it is! . . .
--------------------------------
Get the info on the scumbag 016th district officer and list him on :
copswritingcops.com
... that goes for all scumbag 016th district COWARDS.
She was also told that it is the policy of the 016Th District that a medallion not be displayed on a vehicle driven by a non-member.
------------------------------
Check with FOP #7 and see what they feel about one's wife driving the car with the medallion.
If you ask any civil rights lawyer he will you tell you the police have no right to tell you to take something off your car that is totally legal.. of course most civil rights lawyers hate the police.
Bottom line.. Commander Ralph is behind it.
So somebody in 016 commented (improperly) about your wife having an FOP medallion on her car... big deal.
Would it have made you feel better if some copper in Englewood told her the same thing? Oh, then you'd have slammed HIM for being a dumb rookie. Yeah, not all coppers are intelligent or properly informed, that's just the way it goes. The main thing is that she didn't get any tickets and was on her way after a brief stop. The FOP medallion isn't a "magic button" that commands an instant free-pass to all who own one. Any time I've ever been pulled over by the on-duty police, I have no expectations of an automatic free pass. I just try to be as pleasant and courteous as possible, admit to whatever I did wrong, and casually mention that I'm also a copper. I have no idea what kind of day that the on-duty officer is having. He may have just handled a clusterfuck prior to stopping me and might not be in the best mood. The bottom line is, I'm not going to jump to conclusions like most of us coppers do. I'm just going to deal with what's before me and go from there. TRhe fact that these officers were from 016 means nothing. Sure, they have less crime in 016, but it doesn't mean they'll be any less dead if some nut decides to shoot them on a domestic or traffic stop.
Well all, The mayor has the solution for NO BREAKS for anybody...got a dept. of revenue notice in the mail today...seems the wifey ran a yellow light at an intersection with cameras, guess what,$90.00. I'll pay it, but guess what, Dear Mr. Mayor, NO REVENUE GENERATING TICKETS FROM ME! for a longgg time because of that ticket.
The king has figured it out, why hire more cops that may or may not give tickets when those cameras give everyone tickets. I hope vandals start targeting those things...bet I'll make it a 19B EVERYTIME! Yah, yah I know, if she didn't run the light she wouldn't get the ticket, but at least with a copper she could have got a break, we give shitheads in the ghetto so many breaks everyday out of mercy, cameras = no mercy!

This clueless wench is a micro-manager to the nth degree. When she was A/5 deputy, she came down on the desk personnel for playing a jazz cd during 3rd watch. She forbade them from having any music on during duty hours. God help us if she gets made Super. She got where she is by political whack and becuz of gender preferences.
Its budget time. So that means every D/Sup, Chief, Commander at HQ has to look at his/her staff, and will decide who goes, and who stays.
Dates to watch:
19& 22& 23& 24 MAY- Breaking of the news; your leaving HQ.
25MAY- Change Day(start 6th period) Your first day in your new district.
25MAY- Parking concerns have eased at HQ.
Hey big butt does your uniform fit?
I remember Maria Soto from her PO days in 019. She sat on the beat box (you old timers remember that) just to see over the dashboard. I also remember she went to 023 and hit a woman in the cross walk at Leavitt and Addison in broad day light coming back from gas, (couldn't) see the old lady I guess. Someone get her a phone book to sit on so she can see will ya
Did Soto ever work the streets in a West or South Side District? If so, where and how long?
Did she ever work the streets as a detective in the Detective Division? If so, where and how long?
If the last answer is "yes", did she have any experience solving open homicides? Details?
Does she have an extensive history of making Part I felony arrests in any unit?
The Kool-aid "Invisible" flavor is fermented at 26th & California
Soon HQ will run out of room for female p.o.'s. Every nook and cranny is filled with them !
Welcome to the streets ladies.
EQUAL WORK = EQUAL PAY !!!!!
With all due respect to those hard-working gals on the street that are pulling their fair share of the load of shit we call this City, there are waaay too many bad-attitide, fat-butted, arrogant, ignorant women hiding out all over this poor excuse for a Department, many with no years on the job, no experience, and who were desperate to get off the street five minutes after they hit it. They are an insult and an affront to working police women. If they want to wear the badge, let them work the streets and earn it. Otherwise, take away their tin and they can be what they truly are, cowardly clerks.
Equal pay for equal work and equal danger.
Damn right!
Keep safe, guys and girls!
About the F.O.P. medallion - this may sound counter productive, but I actually find that the meallion is not the test for police/family driving the vehicle.
While the general public feels that there should be know courtesy at all, it is fair.
Many electricians give thier family breaks.
Many plumbers giver thier family breaks.
Many accountants give thier family breaks.
As for me, if I pulled someone over, and the driver told me his sister is married to a deputy from Grundy County S.P.D., he/she got a pass - with the reminder to drive carefully and thank the deputy for the free ride. It is not illegal norunethical. I was engaging the three E's.
Enforce - the laws
Educate - the driver
Engineer- safer conditions
All that being said, with plenty of time on the job (3/4 way to retirement) I have only written six - yes 6 traffic citations. Not exactly a revenue generator.
For those aggressive writers, remember - you mom/sister/grandma/girlfriend/daughter/etc. will be stopped from some safety infraction - treat others as you want you loved ones treated.
BE SAFE
GO SOX
