Last night, 010th District. Copper was being dragged and ends up shooting the offender before being run over. Copper is going to be OK, but not the bad guy.
Maybe we should change our theme song from the bags and pipes or from the chants of recruits saying "Who are we? CPD!" as they run endlessly back to the same spot they started. The new chant in relation to the fine officers hitting their marks would be as follows: Some deep bass with the chant of "Boom! Here comes the boom! Here comes the boom!" and a final whisper of "How'd that work out for ya?" LMAO Way to go boys!
I remember growing up in the 70's. Seeing Chicago Police walking around with rifles and the leather jackets. That was enough to make me want to stay in line as a kid!
The practice of taking the body always works out better than leaving it there, it usually incites the crowd and a riot of some sort insues.... great job!
We will NEVER forgive or forget the silence and cowardice of the brass in refusing to speak out against the Panther cop killers. They are beneath contempt.
On Sunday, go to your house of worship and say a private prayer for our fallen comrades.

Your heart is in the right place, but that is the stupidest, cornball shit I've heard in a looong time.
Glad the officer is alive, but that broken ankle will never be the same. The west side has always been dangerous. Don't reach into a running car, that's patrol 101.
Go to the St. Jude Parade. Do you think Zum Furher Daley and the yes-men will respect us if we stay away.
Make it the biggest turnout ever, get in front of the TV cameras and say our piece. Make the politicians FEAR US!
The politicians, mostly Irish, will never fear us because they can always count on their Irish constituents to vote for them no matter how corrupt they are. At least you know exactly where that buffoon Bobby Rush stands. You can't say the same about Daley, the Madigans, Burke, Doherty, etc.

-------------------------------- You got no right to monday morning quarterback any shooting you did not observe. You are worse than the papers and the shit birds, you are supposed to be one of us.
Lt. Scotchbreathe would have never been there unless this offender tried to take his change off the bar at Castos. Then dick would have thrown his Sox hat at the bad guy causing him to catch a bad case of fleas.
Dick won't talk to P.O.'s its just not how its works. You can run around and work your ass off for the shit stain and he won't even reply a hello in the hallway. "I don't talk to po's that have no clout to make me a captain!! I don't miss him
The 010 district officers are the working police. Crimes are commited and the officers do their duty. Turn on the news and see you will see in the first 10 minutes of reporting that an incident has happend in 010. So no one should critize the working police.
I was just rushing home from 26th & Cal, flying down Sacramento and not paying much attention. I had a near accident right by Manley H.S. A few blocks later, I was stopped at a light at Jackson. I looked over to my right and saw a white cross erected for Ofc. Michael Gordon. I think someone was trying to tell me something........
So, I reached over and clicked on my seat belt and took my time getting home.
Every once in a while, in between all the shit talking and rumors, we need to remind ourselves of what's important.
Make getting home to your families in one piece your #1 priority.
I wouldn't make a blanket statement about ALL the POs in 010 (they're real, they're dogs, they're cute) whatever.
But I will say that the north end of 010 is one of the worst areas left in the city, and God bless the guys who have to work it. Glad the PO is alive. And rather than "second-guess" the PO, why don't we rack this up as a lesson for those among us who might not have learned it before.
Every once in awhile, people could use a good lesson. Rather than "second-guess" the guy, or accuse those deriving a lesson from this as "monday morning quarterbacks", why don't we just take this as a lesson learned, or a lesson reinforced.
Lighten-up Francis. Of course the officer was doing excellent police work-once agin. However, if I've seen it once I've seen it a hundred times, you got to be awful careful if the offenders car is running and you attempt to disable it. But we won!!!
Reaching into a running car is a bad tactic, and we need to be reminded of that every so often. I am reluctant to say that I have done it myself to grab the gearshift, and only by the grace of God never got hurt.
Don't let testosterone get in the way of common sense.
And I do know the officer, very well. He’s a good guy, one of vast majority of good cops in the 10th District. I hope he heals quickly and this reminder keeps someone else from getting hurt.
Neither the Mt. Sinai ER physicians, nor the ME'S office could locate entry wound on offenders body. Conclusion is he was killed by the partner officer who's simply "drop dead gorgeous"!
Our self-righteous (pompous ass) of a city chief executive will not be at the St. Jude March. He never has and never will. He is in the Middle-East and as far as I am concerned he can stay there with Michael Jackson.
I do not want that prick at the St. Jude March. We go for our fallen brothers and sisters, and this year more than any, to demonstrate that we have a large power potential if we can get together and use it top make the politicians FEAR US!
Don't stay home, march! All those illegals showed a lot of power by marching.
Don't blow off St. Jude! It is a dog and pony show, but it's not for all the jagoff bosses, it's for OUR GUYS! If your DC is a fuckin' prick, show up and get your name checked off, then go march with another district or maybe some of you can march with another "unit" and suck up a little and get a spot.....but show up out of RESPECT for the guys that the march was intended for!!
I agree. I will be around Chicago and State with a sign thanking THOSE for supporting the memorial. Making damn sure kool-aid and co. have to see the dam sign and have to look at themselves in the mirror. Now is the time to pull together.
Your logic is flawed. Showing up for the dog and pony show indicates it's politics as usual.
In the last post, you are really a piece of work. Your words say it all, you arrogant prick: "suck up a little and get a spot"
Do you really think the Gilhooly and Rappaport families will appear? No way.
The exempts believe we're stupid and gullible. Demand their respect by your "no show" actions! Those pious bastards will talk the talk. They've already proven they won't walk the walk. Why should we?
Come Sunday, offer your private prayers for those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
BOYCOTT ST. JUDE!
After we prove our point, have a HUGE turnout for the Gold Star Memorial Park dedication on Monday.
If you really wanted your voice heard, you should have organized a protest for the meeting at city hall. Boycotting St. Jude will accomplish nothing but disrespect to those Gold Star families in attnedance. St. Jude is for us-ask our brothers in other big cities if they have similair marches, and you will find the answer to be no. It is about fallen officers, not politics. How about a protest at Haithcocks officer, or on Monroe street. Boycotting St. Jude will accomplish nothing.
Fox had an "eye witness" on this morning who said the police just shot him for driving away. Channel 9 reported the same shit. The police kicked and spit on his family after the shooting. They are planning a protest march to A/4 this afternoon.
"Good Lawd my feets hurt. We done come a long way. I think I's gonna fall out."
Why the hell would you show up at memorial park?? THE GILHOOLY FAMILY purchased a brick and nobody from the park bothered to help them out in this matter. It was extremely hurtful.
The memorial is supposed to honor our fallen, as well as our officers disabled from serving, about the families and their colleagues, and thanking those who currently serve. At least, that's what i was told by the person in charge of it: sgt mike murphy. I thought we were on the same page concerning both our memorials. In fact, we did a walk through discussing the memorial and future plans/projects. I was impressed.
I refuse to support the memorial if it's all about $$$$ and just a wall of names. They are just whoring what the memorial is all about.
The Cook County Peace Memorial actually stepped up to the plate to help us out with this Hampton issue. That's why plenty of suburb Police Chief's, Lawyers, etc. names were on it!! Stroger gave them hell about trying to get some land donated for their memorial. The only land he would eventually try to give them was around 26th and California.
The Cook County Peace Memorial is struggling to get donations so they can get their park built. But when the fallen needed their voices heard, THEY came out and helped us.
First. I was on the scene of the 10th dist P.O.'S Shooting. IT WAS NICE, CLEAN, and J U S T I F I E D!!! The P.O. was a young kid and it [the shooting] doesn't warrant any criticism. Although jagoff [the bad guy] did manage to drive a block and 1/2 before expiring [duke never fails to amaze]he was of course innocent (running over a cracker police officer is not a crime in the ghetto). Within minutes the native [no pun intended] residents were out in force proclaiming that again, the police "be shooting that poo boy fer nuttin!" They further expressed their stupidity by making idle threats like "we fittin' to shoot this place up like IRAN!". Iran? It's just too funny. The ignorance of the westside carnivore is truly a wonder. I wish, just for once, they'd [media] put something like that on the news. But no. Again we [the tax payers] will have to sit through more interviews of jaggoff's family, listening how DeShawuunnedre had just got his GED [in prison I'm sure] and he was supporting his 6 babies by working as a ....(insert random construction profession here) and was "fittin" to become a... (insert totally outrageous profession that requires a college dipolma here) before the police "assasinated" him. And of course never fear good ole' Rev Meeks will lead a vigil and demand the Brass conduct more training of how police officers should take more care in how we conduct our jobs so we don't maime, injure, or kill anymore "innocent" black men who are afraid of the bad ole white police officers [after all that is why the run from us because we are such racists murderers... errr wait.... us racists and murderers? nevermind...]
Second. St Judes is for the family of our fallen. I understand the politics involved, but as usual, Mayor McCheese will not be attending. So the message you will be sending out will only be received by the families that are gathered in that trailer on Chicago ave. I urge each and every one of you to attend, and stare into the faces of those children and widows and remember what we really are. WE ARE POLICEMEN. WE TAKE CARE OF OUR OWN AND THEIR FAMILIES FIRST AND FOREMOST!!! Screw all other politics. If you are really serious about sending a message then lets organize a rally, protest, etc at one of this summer's events. But again, if we do I'm sure only 100 P.O.s will show up because the other 9,900 of us won't care or will have something better to do.
Third. I'm a policeman, not a Rhodes scholar, so I can't spell and my grammer sucks. I know this, so there is no need to post my errors. I got on the job before a degree was required. If you don't like my spelling and or grammer you can kiss my school of hard knocks ass with you surburban,college educated,silverspoon fed lips!
Man, you are so right on every count, like you said we need more "dumb" high school diploma coppers that are the REAL police rather than the "smart" college educated "police" that wouldn't know a real copper if you hit them in the back of the head!!
i really enjoy watching the news and hearing that the police could have shot him in a lower extremity rather than in the head. while there a some p.o.'s who can shoot at will to get a hit between the eyes, most cannot. they can connect on the center mass shots, but the head is a much smaller target. for anyone who believes that you can pick a spot on a bad guy's head while he is trying to shoot you or run you over, thats a good one. a trained military person...maybe. the average p.o., one can only hope. having been in the situation only once, i can say that i didn't lose. bad guy is permanently incapacitated and i went home to my family. regrets ??? only that i couldn't finish him, because the city paid him and his family a boatload of money. what a crock, if i would have been killed, my family would have gotten much less than what this mutt was given. 11 years in jail in a wheelchair would suck, but not as much as being dead. mama is rolling around the west side in my tax dollar paid for suv. so, to the liberal news assholes, if you believe that a police officer would jeopardize his or her future, home, etc. by murdering some mutt without fear for their own safety or another p.o.'s safety...you are crazy. glad the police are ok...or at least will be soon. to the bad guys...if you don't give the police a reason to shoot you, in all probability, they won't. if its bad guy go home or me and my partner go home... sorry bad guy. i have a family that depends on me to home and be there for anniversaries, birthdays, baseball games, graduations, and..well, you get the picture. i'm not gonna let some mutt with 6 baby mommas and spinners on his 79 caprice take me away from my family. be safe all good guys.
God Bless you!! Your my hero! Very well said, Id ride with you anytime!

I just saw them setting up an aid stand at Roosevelt & Kedzie for the protest march. They have a 3 legged card table stocked with purple pop, flamin' hots, & Newports. Grandma got the sugars, so she's manning the table from her milk crate.
I woke up this morning with the shakes. Before I slugged down a little 12 year old scotch, I poured a little on my backyard patio cement for the poor victim of this tragic police shooting. I feel for this young man who may have gone on to become President of the United States, a doctor, a lawyer or even a Mayor of the Greatest Corrupt City in America!
The black man should be put on the World's Endagered Species list. Between cops, H.I.V. and their fellow brother man, they are being stomped out faster than Cubans who oppose Fidel Castro!
This is too heavy to think about so ealry in the day. And I still have a 1/4 bottle of scotch left. So on with the drinking boys.
Criticizing the officer's actions in reaching into a moving vehicle to shut it off may save another officer's life somewhere down the road. It's the deadguy's fault anyway you look at it, but that doesn't mean mistakes that others can learn from weren't made.
I'm very happy he is going to be OK, but don't try and tell me that was a smart move. He's god damn lucky that car didn't run over his head or the shithead didn't pull a gun a shoot him while he was holding the copper's arm.
Sorry if the truth hurts, but I'd hate to see someone else get hurt because no one can admit it when a mistake is made.
I say about two or three more stories about cops shooting guys who try to take off and run down cops and the inner city color boys will stop trying to do this for a while. I say we should carry some medium powered hand grenades. Just flip one of those babys into the car and have it land on the driver's crotch. A lot cleaner than a shoot.
I need some help. Getting ready for work and I went to zipper up my uniform pants and caught the foreskin of my penis in the zipper. Right now the zipper is in the upright position and I can clearly see the skin sticking through to the outside of the zipper while suffering great pain. I am afraid to unzip and possibly cause a greater pain.
I'll never go commando again while in uniform.
Anybody out there have any suggestions? HEKP PLEASE.
Thanks for the lecture 5/04/2006 02:17:53 PM. Maybe you should run the academy.
Lesson #1: Stay in the car, only bad things happen when you get out of the car. Just drive on by.
Lesson #2: Suck or lick what ever you have to for that inside job. Then Lesson #1 no longer applies.
The truth is you probably never would have initiated that encounter in the first place. Save your internet resume for friends & family. Fuck off you backseat driving pussy.
The Richie scotch breath is getting real old. Try something new you idiot. You must be a very disgruntled 008 dist tact guy. They making you actually work a full day and produce, get over it.
Renee shut the fuck up! What gives you the right to call the Memorial "Our Memorial". You are not the Police and never have been. You have nothing to do with the CPD Memorial, stop pretending you do. We are getting a little tired of your bullshit. Stay out of OUR business.
Please dont DONT boycott St Jude ! if there is a poor showing that will send a message sure to make certain masses happy saying that we the police are beginning to be divided and not be there for each other.
We are all we have and have to take care of one another on this job.
I agree with the poster that the bosses need to be sent messages but lets do it the proper way.
We all attend St Jude to show our respect for the officers who made the ultimate sacrifice. Please do not do anything to show disrespect or tarnish that.
When one of us gets hurt or we lose a family member we always take care of each other. Lets continue to show our support and do the right thing for our fallen brothers and sisters.
While I have never met "Renee", I have personally responded to the scenes of four murdered police officers, both as a homicide dick and a patrol sergeant.
I don't like bullies. You are a bully! An anonymous bully at that.
Whatever this "Renee" is about, it is beyond dispute that she has contributed to honoring the memories of our fallen comrades, particularly John Gilhooly and Frank Rappaport.
It was her that initiated the petition against renaming the 2300 block of Monroe Street after Black Panther "Chairman" motherfucker.
Since when did St. Judes become something that is done for the mayor? St. Judes is for honoring the men and women who have given everything and that's forever. I don't care if the media or the mayor or the public are not there because it's not for them. As a matter of fact I don't like any of them and they aren't invited.
The idea of a boycott is rediculous. You're going to do something by not doing something? Boycott HaithCOCK. Boycott the mayor. Do not boycott the Gold Star families and the people who will never be able go. The mayor, the Bosses, HaithCOCK, they have hurt them to much already and I'm not turning my back on them.
I know someone who is going to be in that trailer and I am not going to explain to her that the reason I was not at the march was because I wanted to punish the cowardly CPD bosses who cared more about being a boss than risk losing their spot than do what's right.
Anytime we lose an Officer, it's OUR MEMORIAL. You must be a troll or a very ticked off brass sitting over at 35/Michigan to make such a clueless statement.
Of course I have nothing to do with the Chicago Police Memorial nor would I want to, considering their actions (or lack of).
When I went to the wake of Officer Eric Solorio, I saw plenty in attendance such as Commanders, etc. there that seemed to care. So is it all just about image, or the real deal? WILL YOU BE THERE FOR THE PEOPLE WHEN THEY REALLY NEED US, OR KICK THEM TO THE CURB?
With that said, I WILL be there this Sunday with a sign because I feel that our fallen need a voice. If anyone feels that I am disrespecting the fallen, they may come over and voice their opinion. I will be wearing a blue shirt, gray suit and near Chicago/State.
The CPD HQ really disrespected and spit on the graves of fallen officers as well as the officers disabled at the hands of the BPP. What a shame...
What mistakes? I was a det at the shooting little man? Please tell me about the locker room innuendo and newspaper trash version you have gained your knowledge from? Shut the fuck up housecat. You have to work to second guessed.
Arrogant cunts are met with ridicule & scorn. I fucken hate big mouth know-it-alls. Gone home for the day yet? Did you turn your desk over or is it vacant til 8am? "He should have done this...He should have done that..." Hope you have fun jerking off on your fat old lady's ass.
hey joel b cant you take a joke. 4:03 was referring to the guy killed last week who was on his way to church too. the whole honor student crap the media makes up. joel b. you go away and find that sense of humor you are lacking
City saved themselves a bundle today. The offender's girlfriend was on T.V. today telling the same exact story to the news that she gave at the round table last night.
Hey 1:17 going to college doesn’t make me a silver spoon fed suburbanite. Some people that went to college actually busted their ass to get scholarships so they could go. Take it easy, it sounds like you have an inferiority complex about it. There’s still time to get one on the city’s dime. I’m not going to bust your balls about spelling, grammar, or if you made a point, etc. You made outstanding points throughout your post. It’s not our fault that the powers that be made the requirement 60 hours or a bachelor’s degree.
Having any type of degree doesn’t make you a better officer, I understand that. It’s a shame that the FTO program is so shitty because we really need experienced officers more than ever to teach PPO’s out of the academy.
I think the richie scotch breath is funny creative and right on. keep it up it, should be a daily blog on its own.but then again I know the merit Lt. and his band of drunks
I like how the idiot media failed to mention that the shithead who rightfully died got locked up for basically the same thing not too long ago, hitting or attemting to hit a po w/his car. He got what he deserved. Also, didn't he get shot in the shoulder and the bullet traveled into his chest and not in the head like his idiot girlfriend was trying to say on the news? I like that the news said something about "inexperienced policing" what the fuck??? That's total B.S. in a situation like that
The "comments" section on the petition contained some very good comments, but also some extremely inappropriate comments - just go through and read it. I was shocked that anyone would add them to the petition - all they do is make the petition meaningless. Additionally, I think that when you sign a petition below the signature and comments, you are essentially agreeing with all the comments. The comment section should have been left off, and in that case I don't think there would have been ANY exempt who DIDN'T sign it after looking at it. The original petition position was well written - but the comments (not all of them, but many of them, and I think there was a disparaging comment in the first 50 signors of the petition)were inappropriate, that section should NOT have been included in the petition.
I also just saw the news and how they were one sided. Where they there to see what happened? No. The dead man's wife is saying how the CPD just shoot and kill pretty much anyone these days, yet the media said this guy had what, 35 different criminal violations? Wasn't he with a woman in the vehicle? Who was the woman if he was married, just curious.
He could have killed that officer and people are are his side? Plus a huge group of angry people coming out... the media showed oen person who had marks on his neck after police had to subdue him.
Asshole was shot through and through the left arm and it entered the left side of his chest and lodged. He was also shot in the left knee area. That's the one that probably killed him....knew he wouldn't be able to run from the police anymore.
I don't agree with Northside on too many things, but I'll back him 100 per cent on those goofs who lash out at Renee.
What does it matter she is not the police? She supports our cause(s) and that is the important thing. The guy who keeps posting things against her was probably turned down by her for a date.

From 022 dist range Ranger?????????? You guys are puds and so is your former leader
The officer did a great job. However, we see on the news all the family and friends speaking out how the police should have just wounded him, or just not shot his weapon but insted called for a time out. Like we could really just backup and re-think the situation. Now comes the city and Monique Bond issue her script statement as always. "The officer feared for his life, fired his weapon resulting in a fatal injury". How about better DAMAGE CONTROL. Let the public know, were not trained to shoot at vehicles. We dont have time to aim to injure. Show them the streaming video of the old caprice classic being shot up with every weapon possible, then being drivin away by an officer with 40 pounds of glass in his ass. Ok. Too much to ask for. How about a little more public awareness that you fight the police you loose. You pull a gun on the police you die. you roll up the window to your car pinning a police officer then driving away, your on your own and let the best man win. Thankfully this time the officer had the change to overcome the challenge. As I see it, everytime somebody tries to defeat an arrest and is stopped by our Lawful and Justified use of force is our public awareness campaign. The messege is clear. This guy had an extensive arrest record. As recently as February, he assulted another police officer on a traffic stop. I guess he won't be doing that again!!
I bought that shot up Caprice Classic from the police auction years ago. It still runs great. It's a little breezy from all the holes in it but during the summer that feels good and saves me gas because I don't have to use the air conditioner.
The offender shot last night had 9 fel. arrests and like 6:13 said he was arrested for doing same thing a little while back, ramed a squad and another vehicle in chase and came out swings after his vehicle was stopped. Last night he was shot in arm and fatal shot went into his cavity. Was sent to prison in nov 05 so how did he get out so fast?
Thank God the officer is ok. Remember the officers who were not so lucky this Sunday. Let their families know you remember. I will be there for the 23rd year in a row. I don't go for the boss. it never made a difference to me I figured they either liked me or didnt due to what I did the rest of the year. 22 years ago I was a pall bearer for an officer who's family will be in the Gold Star Family seats. Put all this petty bull shit squabbling behind you and go show the families you care. Just hope someday your family isn't in the stands and some asshole isn't telling everyone to boycott St. Judes. That is the asshole who is making it political.
The only Hollywood you see on this BLOG is a bunch of self appointed Heros, who couldn't find dope if they were tied down in a poppy field. What do you think the family of any person shot by the POLICE is going to say!!! OH my son the ass hole got what was coming to him, My husband the multiple felon should have gotten shot! A crook is a crook, so why do so many people get upset when crooks acts like crooks....probably because they spend their entire career advoiding them and going the other way when they are needed. Bunch of sorry, pussy ass bitches. I bet you can't wait until St.Jude parade is over with, so you can go back to your over priced bungalows, liced infected children and wart mangled wives and parade up and down in front of your dining room table like you make a difference somewhere. Jagoff, cry babies MFer's! Only thing you worry about is where is your overtime check, out of grade check, special employment check and who made rank in a test you were to "F"ing stupid to take yourself
Settle down sport. you need anger management along with reading comprehension classes.
Their beef is with the media putting this bullshit on the news in an effort to get ratings. We all know what the shithead's family is going to say, we just dont need to see it on the news
In response to an earlier post, The CPD Memorial Foundation explains what they do here: http://www.cpdmemorial.org/
Sgt. Michael P. Murphy runs it and donations are from businesses. They have an outside salesman who goes out for them. They get HEAVY donations.
He also told me that he wants to do something for disabled officers. I think they should build a center for them on that park land, make it narrow and with 2, maybe 3 floors. Get computers/desks donated and put Pres. Giamabalvo (spelling?) in there as well (get programs rolling, how to cope with disability, volunteers, etc.). Sgt. Murphy Office tel. number is 312-499-8899.
As for the petition, you cannot alter it right now until the petition is closed. Once it's done, certain comments will be deleted as well as first name only postings prior to printing.
Btw: please do not boycott the march this sunday. thank you.
There was alot of confusion, and we need to investigate the matter further"
No, Ms. Bond. There was Not alot of confusion! There were 100 animals trying to fuck-up the investigation, who needed to be dealt with. They were dealt with, and the investigation continued.
Her words on the news implied that the police did not know what happened. Who's side is this broad on? How many millions is this broad going to cost the city (or worse, the coppers involved)?
At least Camden did his usual speech, which was aired after hers.
It's bad enough that we have to worry about getting into one of these situations. We don't need to be sandbagged by this clueless broad.
On Leo post. There's old history with the Pres. you name. There was a check involved, and a dispute, along with other issue's. Here we go. Your cause sounds worthy but I have seen the motion.
The media doensnt print or televise that a police shooting was good and justified because then it wont sell papers or keep viewers glued to television. Also when the media stirs the pot the are hoping lets say for a demonstration,riot,violence against police,etc..that inturn will generate more "BREAKING STORIES",that will sell more papers and boost their ratings. So if the shit ever his the fan because of their reporting tactics and when they are in the jungle and the animals turn on them and begin to attack them.I say fuck them, they reap what they sow.They are slowly working their way up the shit list close to defense attorney's.
TO 2;26 35, BEING A DOCTOR OF COCKOLOGY , YOU HAVE TO USE ALOT OF MINERAL OIL ON THE OLD SHLONG, THAT WAY THE ZIPPER WILL OPEN , WITHOUT RIPPING THE SKIN OF THE SHLONG.
The history of the St. Jude March must be understood. In the era before the FOP, when the Department and the political establishment could and did operate autonomously and arbitrarily, the St. Jude March was used as a yardstick to measure the control individual CO's had over their units. Pressure came from the top for perfect attendance. A luncheon, paid for by the St. Jude Society, was held shortly before the march for the exempts in order to underscore the importance of a strong showing. There were no valid excuses for not attending. In fact few did not attend. Roll call was taken at the event, and those absent were identified as not being company guys. Absence was viewed as a personal affront to the unit CO and resulted in retaliation. This co-opting of the families of the fallen came later as the establishment began to lose its grip.
The most interesting insight into the purpose of the event can be found in the manner in which the march itself was conducted. We used to march in the Loop to St. Peter's church for the memorial mass. Many of the marchers were actually interested in attending the mass. However, the commoners were not allowed to stay. We were marched passed the assembled exempts and dignitaries to the sounds of the Drum and Bugle Corps at the entrance to St. Peter's, down the center aisle, and out a side door into the alley. We were told to quickly and quietly disband while the big boys attended the service.
For some the march will always be viewed as the bosses' parade and reviled for that reason. Unfortunately, draping the event in the mantles of the fallen officers makes it harder for others to be critical.
Maybe we could spend more time on what has happened, what is happening, and what may happen as opposed to the name calling.
Yeah 3:32, there are still lots of Irish bosses fucking this job up Moron. How many are left? We all know what types are making this job the joke that it is.
Yeah, I can read between the lines. Sounds like someone was kicked to the curb along with other disabled po's that they pick and chose to keep. Way to go.
On the mark, there was considerable damage done during that time. It runs deeper, lack of insight across board representation and bad book keeping. Whether one agreed or disagreed with issue's during those days, the way it was handled was unprofessional and an insult to officer's who needed assistance and representation. I feel Ms. G was more about herself then about who she claimed to represent. Conduct I and others frown on. I don't like seeing copper's screwed over.
MAN THE POLICE DISRESPECTED THE PEOPLE ON THIS ONE... WE HOPE OPS COMES DOWN HARD ON THOSE OFFENDING OFFICERS FOR THE BEATINGS AND HOME INVASIONS THEY COMMITED!!!
9:02... thanks. Sad to say, I didn't know much about this. It made me wonder why it didn't work out. Well, why is she still President? How does she get in that post as it is?
I think it's hard enough losing an officer or to be disabled than having certain people represent you that are doing it for themselves instead of what they're supposed to be doing. It creates more damage. And is very hurtful. But there should also be some type of "check & balance" system in order to protect others.
For instance, I have several assistants. Most are LE. They give me plenty of input and have taught me much over the years. When I first started the memorial, I made a few mistakes and they let me know it. LOL
The above is kinda a lame example, but ... I guess when you're dealing with funding, etc there should be someone else beside the President dealing with that matter and someone checking to make sure the books balance out, projects, programs, etc You know, make sure there is progress and things accomplished. Just my opinion.
Leo, She set up the non-profit with a few other's and some I'm sure fell away. If it's your toy you run it as you choose. Non-profits and their boards if not done right can be non-effective. This does not mean they can't be run as you aready know. Her title her toy, I voiced my opinion long ago and I was familiar with all sides. There is a uphill battle with anything concerning disabled officer's. My theory it is not being done right, nor by the right people. Other's have tried and it turns into a fight, even among officer's who often look at disabled poorly, instead of supporting the officer period. Some day soon, I hope the rank and file will wake up and come together. Some things you can control and other's you cannot. Supporting fellow officer's is not something to be taken lightly and your true heart and determination needs to be in it. That goes for any cause involving officer's.
11:56 And we used to get 3 hours of OT for attending St. Jude too... why would someone choose not to go then? I think the whole thing has evolved over the last 30 years, no one is getting dumped/or any other negative thing nowadays if they don't show up... except that out of a sense of personal pride and commitment, and as an honor and memorial to those who have fallen, one should attend...
Let's be honest here, a good number of officer's go so they don't have to stand for inspection. A little trade off for showing numbers created by La Mgmt.
I support the true meaning of St Jude and feel the honor involved in the march for our fallen officer's and families is important. I also understand the other views on the politics of St Jude. The inspection demonstrates that point. Mgmt. still looks at the PO's that don't show for what ever reason as non-team members, that embarrass them by lowering their numbers. Non-showing has been used to present disrespect for your commander and mgmt. knows this. It was used as a measuring stick on the value of the boss. These days I doubt Headquarters gives a shit about sh#ty boss's.
11:56 And we used to get 3 hours of OT for attending St. Jude too... why would someone choose not to go then
Gee, let's see. How about, BECAUSE IT WAS THE BOSSES' PARADE.
St.Jude is part and parcel of the fake image of the police department that the exempts and their political masters need to project in order to keep their phoney-baloney jobs. You know, the most technologically advanced department in the world, the best trained department in the world, hell, even the best police department in the world. It's all a carefully arranged facade and when we march by the reviewing stand, we're just so much background. If they really respected us, they'd treat us better in life. Exclude the exempt dog and pony show and maybe the event would mean something.
What the media and the "citizens" are forgetting to mention is that the scene in 010 was rather orderly until the natives began throwing rocks and bottles at the police...
I'm going and I am making sure that Officers Gilhooly, Rappaport and Knox are NOT forgotten on my sign! This is not going to be easy, but must be done. Please come.

THANK GOD this officer is ok and another idiot off our streets!
Sometimes, just sometimes, I think to myself, the world is evening out. Great job officer glad you are well!
Maybe we should change our theme song from the bags and pipes or from the chants of recruits saying "Who are we? CPD!" as they run endlessly back to the same spot they started. The new chant in relation to the fine officers hitting their marks would be as follows: Some deep bass with the chant of "Boom! Here comes the boom! Here comes the boom!" and a final whisper of "How'd that work out for ya?" LMAO Way to go boys!
I remember growing up in the 70's. Seeing Chicago Police walking around with rifles and the leather jackets. That was enough to make me want to stay in line as a kid!
The practice of taking the body always works out better than leaving it there, it usually incites the crowd and a riot of some sort insues.... great job!
We will NEVER forgive or forget the silence and cowardice of the brass in refusing to speak out against the Panther cop killers.
They are beneath contempt.
On Sunday, go to your house of worship and say a private prayer for our fallen comrades.
it's gonna be a hot summer. keeping the homicide rate low in chicago will be like keeping it low in iraq !
I just got promoted !!!!
THANKS DAD
A NEW SGT
Glad to see the the OFFICER involved is ok and that there is one less POS off the streets
you brother in blue fom NYC

Your heart is in the right place, but that is the stupidest, cornball shit I've heard in a looong time.
Are you Polish???
Sunday's St. Jude March
Guys in my unit have discussed the impact of a total boycott of Sunday's dog and pony show.
If Daley is seated front row center flanked by the Gilhooly and Rappaport families directly across from our "leadership", count us in.
None will attend. Why should we be a part of this hypocrisy?
What would happen if they scheduled their sanctimonious march and just the suckholes showed up? It sure would send one hell of a message.
Then on Monday, everybody shows up for the opening of the Gold Star Memorial Park.
Message sent; mission accomplished.
God bless all our fallen comrades!
Glad the officer is alive, but that broken ankle will never be the same. The west side has always been dangerous. Don't reach into a running car, that's patrol 101.
Go to the St. Jude Parade. Do you think Zum Furher Daley and the yes-men will respect us if we stay away.
Make it the biggest turnout ever, get in front of the TV cameras and say our piece. Make the politicians FEAR US!
The politicians, mostly Irish, will never fear us because they can always count on their Irish constituents to vote for them no matter how corrupt they are. At least you know exactly where that buffoon Bobby Rush stands. You can't say the same about Daley, the Madigans, Burke, Doherty, etc.

You got no right to monday morning quarterback any shooting you did not observe. You are worse than the papers and the shit birds, you are supposed to be one of us.
Lt. Scotchbreathe would have never been there unless this offender tried to take his change off the bar at Castos. Then dick would have thrown his Sox hat at the bad guy causing him to catch a bad case of fleas.
Scotchbreathe is not our problem anymore, we rid ourselves of that pompus asshole here in 022. Terry is a good man and good boss though.
Dick won't talk to P.O.'s its just not how its works. You can run around and work your ass off for the shit stain and he won't even reply a hello in the hallway. "I don't talk to po's that have no clout to make me a captain!!
I don't miss him
The 010 district officers are the working police. Crimes are commited and the officers do their duty. Turn on the news and see you will see in the first 10 minutes of reporting that an incident has happend in 010. So no one should critize the working police.
Amen
OFF TOPIC:
I was just rushing home from 26th & Cal, flying down Sacramento and not paying much attention. I had a near accident right by Manley H.S. A few blocks later, I was stopped at a light at Jackson. I looked over to my right and saw a white cross erected for Ofc. Michael Gordon. I think someone was trying to tell me something........
So, I reached over and clicked on my seat belt and took my time getting home.
Every once in a while, in between all the shit talking and rumors, we need to remind ourselves of what's important.
Make getting home to your families in one piece your #1 priority.
Be safe out there and God bless.
I wouldn't make a blanket statement about ALL the POs in 010 (they're real, they're dogs, they're cute) whatever.
But I will say that the north end of 010 is one of the worst areas left in the city, and God bless the guys who have to work it. Glad the PO is alive. And rather than "second-guess" the PO, why don't we rack this up as a lesson for those among us who might not have learned it before.
Every once in awhile, people could use a good lesson. Rather than "second-guess" the guy, or accuse those deriving a lesson from this as "monday morning quarterbacks", why don't we just take this as a lesson learned, or a lesson reinforced.
To 5/04/2006 09:53:09 AM,
Lighten-up Francis. Of course the officer was doing excellent police work-once agin. However, if I've seen it once I've seen it a hundred times, you got to be awful careful if the offenders car is running and you attempt to disable it. But we won!!!
Reaching into a running car is a bad tactic, and we need to be reminded of that every so often. I am reluctant to say that I have done it myself to grab the gearshift, and only by the grace of God never got hurt.
Don't let testosterone get in the way of common sense.
And I do know the officer, very well. He’s a good guy, one of vast majority of good cops in the 10th District. I hope he heals quickly and this reminder keeps someone else from getting hurt.
Break out the kleenex. Was he going to go to church on Sunday too?
Neither the Mt. Sinai ER physicians, nor the ME'S office could locate entry wound on offenders body. Conclusion is he was killed by the partner officer who's simply "drop dead gorgeous"!
9:06:43 POS
Can't wait and see how much the city is going to pay this dead POS,
and never reach into a running car !!!
Fuck off you bunch of self-righteous pricks.
I agree; it wasn't you in that situation, so shut the fuck up.
Our self-righteous (pompous ass) of a city chief executive will not be at the St. Jude March. He never has and never will. He is in the Middle-East and as far as I am concerned he can stay there with Michael Jackson.
I do not want that prick at the St. Jude March. We go for our fallen brothers and sisters, and this year more than any, to demonstrate that we have a large power potential if we can get together and use it top make the politicians FEAR US!
Don't stay home, march! All those illegals showed a lot of power by marching.
Don't blow off St. Jude! It is a dog and pony show, but it's not for all the jagoff bosses, it's for OUR GUYS! If your DC is a fuckin' prick, show up and get your name checked off, then go march with another district or maybe some of you can march with another "unit" and suck up a little and get a spot.....but show up out of RESPECT for the guys that the march was intended for!!
Damn! CPD has killed more people than cancer in the last 30 days!!!
I agree. I will be around Chicago and State with a sign thanking THOSE for supporting the memorial. Making damn sure kool-aid and co. have to see the dam sign and have to look at themselves in the mirror. Now is the time to pull together.
11:42:01 AM
11:42:43 AM
Your logic is flawed. Showing up for the dog and pony show indicates it's politics as usual.
In the last post, you are really a piece of work. Your words say it all, you arrogant prick: "suck up a little and get a spot"
Do you really think the Gilhooly and Rappaport families will appear?
No way.
The exempts believe we're stupid and gullible. Demand their respect by your "no show" actions! Those pious bastards will talk the talk. They've already proven they won't walk the walk. Why should we?
Come Sunday, offer your private prayers for those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
BOYCOTT ST. JUDE!
After we prove our point, have a HUGE turnout for the Gold Star Memorial Park dedication on Monday.

5/04/2006 12:06:42 PM
You just don't want to get up early! Who are you trying to kid?
We like the idea of a Sunday boycott followed by a huge turnout at the Memorial Park the next day.
It's a WIN/WIN situation in which we can show the powers that be we will no longer tolerate their cowardice and lack of leadership.
Sunday: Boycott!
Monday: Huge tribute with thousands of uniformed officers.
Otherwise, they will continue to disrespect us and take us for granted just like they did with John Gilhooly and Frank Rappaport.
If you really wanted your voice heard, you should have organized a protest for the meeting at city hall. Boycotting St. Jude will accomplish nothing but disrespect to those Gold Star families in attnedance. St. Jude is for us-ask our brothers in other big cities if they have similair marches, and you will find the answer to be no. It is about fallen officers, not politics. How about a protest at Haithcocks officer, or on Monroe street. Boycotting St. Jude will accomplish nothing.
Fox had an "eye witness" on this morning who said the police just shot him for driving away.
Channel 9 reported the same shit. The police kicked and spit on his family after the shooting. They are planning a protest march to A/4 this afternoon.
"Good Lawd my feets hurt. We done come a long way. I think I's gonna fall out."
Why the hell would you show up at memorial park?? THE GILHOOLY FAMILY purchased a brick and nobody from the park bothered to help them out in this matter. It was extremely hurtful.
The memorial is supposed to honor our fallen, as well as our officers disabled from serving, about the families and their colleagues, and thanking those who currently serve. At least, that's what i was told by the person in charge of it: sgt mike murphy. I thought we were on the same page concerning both our memorials. In fact, we did a walk through discussing the memorial and future plans/projects. I was impressed.
I refuse to support the memorial if it's all about $$$$ and just a wall of names. They are just whoring what the memorial is all about.
The Cook County Peace Memorial actually stepped up to the plate to help us out with this Hampton issue. That's why plenty of suburb Police Chief's, Lawyers, etc. names were on it!! Stroger gave them hell about trying to get some land donated for their memorial. The only land he would eventually try to give them was around 26th and California.
The Cook County Peace Memorial is struggling to get donations so they can get their park built. But when the fallen needed their voices heard, THEY came out and helped us.

CPD kicked the tombstones of Rappaport and Gilhooly
First. I was on the scene of the 10th dist P.O.'S Shooting. IT WAS NICE, CLEAN, and J U S T I F I E D!!! The P.O. was a young kid and it [the shooting] doesn't warrant any criticism. Although jagoff [the bad guy] did manage to drive a block and 1/2 before expiring [duke never fails to amaze]he was of course innocent (running over a cracker police officer is not a crime in the ghetto). Within minutes the native [no pun intended] residents were out in force proclaiming that again, the police "be shooting that poo boy fer nuttin!" They further expressed their stupidity by making idle threats like "we fittin' to shoot this place up like IRAN!". Iran? It's just too funny. The ignorance of the westside carnivore is truly a wonder. I wish, just for once, they'd [media] put something like that on the news. But no. Again we [the tax payers] will have to sit through more interviews of jaggoff's family, listening how DeShawuunnedre had just got his GED [in prison I'm sure] and he was supporting his 6 babies by working as a ....(insert random construction profession here) and was "fittin" to become a... (insert totally outrageous profession that requires a college dipolma here) before the police "assasinated" him. And of course never fear good ole' Rev Meeks will lead a vigil and demand the Brass conduct more training of how police officers should take more care in how we conduct our jobs so we don't maime, injure, or kill anymore "innocent" black men who are afraid of the bad ole white police officers [after all that is why the run from us because we are such racists murderers... errr wait.... us racists and murderers? nevermind...]
Second. St Judes is for the family of our fallen. I understand the politics involved, but as usual, Mayor McCheese will not be attending. So the message you will be sending out will only be received by the families that are gathered in that trailer on Chicago ave. I urge each and every one of you to attend, and stare into the faces of those children and widows and remember what we really are. WE ARE POLICEMEN. WE TAKE CARE OF OUR OWN AND THEIR FAMILIES FIRST AND FOREMOST!!! Screw all other politics. If you are really serious about sending a message then lets organize a rally, protest, etc at one of this summer's events. But again, if we do I'm sure only 100 P.O.s will show up because the other 9,900 of us won't care or will have something better to do.
Third. I'm a policeman, not a Rhodes scholar, so I can't spell and my grammer sucks. I know this, so there is no need to post my errors. I got on the job before a degree was required. If you don't like my spelling and or grammer you can kiss my school of hard knocks ass with you surburban,college educated,silverspoon fed lips!
Please BE SAFE!!
You guys are fucking idiots, let's boycott St. Jude but show up for Fat Phil's pet project, the "Memorial", stupid asshole coppers!!
A BIG thank you to:
5/04/2006 01:17:54 PM
Man, you are so right on every count, like you said we need more "dumb" high school diploma coppers that are the REAL police rather than the "smart" college educated "police" that wouldn't know a real copper if you hit them in the back of the head!!
i really enjoy watching the news and hearing that the police could have shot him in a lower extremity rather than in the head. while there a some p.o.'s who can shoot at will to get a hit between the eyes, most cannot. they can connect on the center mass shots, but the head is a much smaller target. for anyone who believes that you can pick a spot on a bad guy's head while he is trying to shoot you or run you over, thats a good one. a trained military person...maybe. the average p.o., one can only hope. having been in the situation only once, i can say that i didn't lose. bad guy is permanently incapacitated and i went home to my family. regrets ??? only that i couldn't finish him, because the city paid him and his family a boatload of money. what a crock, if i would have been killed, my family would have gotten much less than what this mutt was given. 11 years in jail in a wheelchair would suck, but not as much as being dead. mama is rolling around the west side in my tax dollar paid for suv. so, to the liberal news assholes, if you believe that a police officer would jeopardize his or her future, home, etc. by murdering some mutt without fear for their own safety or another p.o.'s safety...you are crazy. glad the police are ok...or at least will be soon. to the bad guys...if you don't give the police a reason to shoot you, in all probability, they won't. if its bad guy go home or me and my partner go home... sorry bad guy. i have a family that depends on me to home and be there for anniversaries, birthdays, baseball games, graduations, and..well, you get the picture. i'm not gonna let some mutt with 6 baby mommas and spinners on his 79 caprice take me away from my family. be safe all good guys.
God Bless you!! Your my hero! Very well said, Id ride with you anytime!
Third. I'm a policeman, not a Rhodes scholar, so I can't spell and my grammer sucks. I know this, so there is no need to post my errors. I got on the job before a degree was required. If you don't like my spelling and or grammer you can kiss my school of hard knocks ass with you surburban,college educated,silverspoon fed lips!
I just saw them setting up an aid stand at Roosevelt & Kedzie for the protest march. They have a 3 legged card table stocked with purple pop, flamin' hots, & Newports. Grandma got the sugars, so she's manning the table from her milk crate.
Shouldn't the headline say:
Cops kill man for D.W.B. (Driving While Black)
It would be a nicer and more gently headline and more politically correct.
I woke up this morning with the shakes. Before I slugged down a little 12 year old scotch, I poured a little on my backyard patio cement for the poor victim of this tragic police shooting. I feel for this young man who may have gone on to become President of the United States, a doctor, a lawyer or even a Mayor of the Greatest Corrupt City in America!
The black man should be put on the World's Endagered Species list. Between cops, H.I.V. and their fellow brother man, they are being stomped out faster than Cubans who oppose Fidel Castro!
This is too heavy to think about so ealry in the day. And I still have a 1/4 bottle of scotch left. So on with the drinking boys.
Your Pal,
Richie Scotch Breath
Criticizing the officer's actions in reaching into a moving vehicle to shut it off may save another officer's life somewhere down the road. It's the deadguy's fault anyway you look at it, but that doesn't mean mistakes that others can learn from weren't made.
I'm very happy he is going to be OK, but don't try and tell me that was a smart move. He's god damn lucky that car didn't run over his head or the shithead didn't pull a gun a shoot him while he was holding the copper's arm.
Sorry if the truth hurts, but I'd hate to see someone else get hurt because no one can admit it when a mistake is made.
I say about two or three more stories about cops shooting guys who try to take off and run down cops and the inner city color boys will stop trying to do this for a while. I say we should carry some medium powered hand grenades. Just flip one of those babys into the car and have it land on the driver's crotch. A lot cleaner than a shoot.
I need some help. Getting ready for work and I went to zipper up my uniform pants and caught the foreskin of my penis in the zipper. Right now the zipper is in the upright position and I can clearly see the skin sticking through to the outside of the zipper while suffering great pain. I am afraid to unzip and possibly cause a greater pain.
I'll never go commando again while in uniform.
Anybody out there have any suggestions? HEKP PLEASE.
Thanks for the lecture 5/04/2006 02:17:53 PM. Maybe you should run the academy.
Lesson #1: Stay in the car, only bad things happen when you get out of the car. Just drive on by.
Lesson #2: Suck or lick what ever you have to for that inside job. Then Lesson #1 no longer applies.
The truth is you probably never would have initiated that encounter in the first place. Save your internet resume for friends & family. Fuck off you backseat driving pussy.
FRANKS & BEANS!

As usual, common sense is met with ridicule and scorn.
Wait, you forgot to call me a "boss" and to "drink some more Kool-Aid" too.
You can granstand and throw insults all you like: I repeat, mistakes were made. Learn from it and move on.
Family members of John Gilhooly and Frank Rappaport will NOT be in attendance at the St. Jude dog and pony show.
That says it all!
Renee shut the fuck up! What gives you the right to call the Memorial "Our Memorial". You are not the Police and never have been.
You have nothing to do with the CPD Memorial, stop pretending you do. We are getting a little tired of your bullshit. Stay out of OUR business.
Please dont DONT boycott St Jude ! if there is a poor showing that will send a message sure to make certain masses happy saying that we the police are beginning to be divided and not be there for each other.
We are all we have and have to take care of one another on this job.
I agree with the poster that the bosses need to be sent messages but lets do it the proper way.
We all attend St Jude to show our respect for the officers who made the ultimate sacrifice. Please do not do anything to show disrespect or tarnish that.
When one of us gets hurt or we lose a family member we always take care of each other. Lets continue to show our support and do the right thing for our fallen brothers and sisters.
as always be safe and keep the faith !
Please go to the parade for the RIGHT reason !
See you all there !
dont any of you forget. this man killed by the police was an honor student who was on his way to church for the first time in a long time.
TO 4:03
Please go away ! You are an idiot.
And Bob thanks fot the sensible post and I second your sentiments, everyone go to ST JUDE PARADE.
3:30 PM
Get off Renee's case, "anonymous".
Who the fuck are you?
While I have never met "Renee", I have personally responded to the scenes of four murdered police officers, both as a homicide dick and a patrol sergeant.
I don't like bullies. You are a bully! An anonymous bully at that.
Whatever this "Renee" is about, it is beyond dispute that she has contributed to honoring the memories of our fallen comrades, particularly John Gilhooly and Frank Rappaport.
It was her that initiated the petition against renaming the 2300 block of Monroe Street after Black Panther "Chairman" motherfucker.
Give credit where credit is due.
Since when did St. Judes become something that is done for the mayor? St. Judes is for honoring the men and women who have given everything and that's forever. I don't care if the media or the mayor or the public are not there because it's not for them. As a matter of fact I don't like any of them and they aren't invited.
The idea of a boycott is rediculous. You're going to do something by not doing something? Boycott HaithCOCK. Boycott the mayor. Do not boycott the Gold Star families and the people who will never be able go. The mayor, the Bosses, HaithCOCK, they have hurt them to much already and I'm not turning my back on them.
I know someone who is going to be in that trailer and I am not going to explain to her that the reason I was not at the march was because I wanted to punish the cowardly CPD bosses who cared more about being a boss than risk losing their spot than do what's right.
Anytime we lose an Officer, it's OUR MEMORIAL. You must be a troll or a very ticked off brass sitting over at 35/Michigan to make such a clueless statement.
Of course I have nothing to do with the Chicago Police Memorial nor would I want to, considering their actions (or lack of).
When I went to the wake of Officer Eric Solorio, I saw plenty in attendance such as Commanders, etc. there that seemed to care. So is it all just about image, or the real deal? WILL YOU BE THERE FOR THE PEOPLE WHEN THEY REALLY NEED US, OR KICK THEM TO THE CURB?
With that said, I WILL be there this Sunday with a sign because I feel that our fallen need a voice. If anyone feels that I am disrespecting the fallen, they may come over and voice their opinion. I will be wearing a blue shirt, gray suit and near Chicago/State.
The CPD HQ really disrespected and spit on the graves of fallen officers as well as the officers disabled at the hands of the BPP. What a shame...
Nobody should boycott St. Jude's.
What mistakes? I was a det at the shooting little man? Please tell me about the locker room innuendo and newspaper trash version you have gained your knowledge from? Shut the fuck up housecat. You have to work to second guessed.
5/04/2006 02:40:35 PM
Arrogant cunts are met with ridicule & scorn. I fucken hate big mouth know-it-alls. Gone home for the day yet? Did you turn your desk over or is it vacant til 8am? "He should have done this...He should have done that..." Hope you have fun jerking off on your fat old lady's ass.

That's a bunch of horseshit. Stop bothering those families, they've suffered enough!
hey joel b cant you take a joke. 4:03 was referring to the guy killed last week who was on his way to church too. the whole honor student crap the media makes up. joel b. you go away and find that sense of humor you are lacking
City saved themselves a bundle today. The offender's girlfriend was on T.V. today telling the same exact story to the news that she gave at the round table last night.
thank you 5:26. hey joel b. i was the guy who posted at 4:03. i am not an idiot. well not all the time. but seriously you didnt get the joke? yikes.
Joel B. needs to shoot another dog and release a little aggression.
Hey 1:17 going to college doesn’t make me a silver spoon fed suburbanite. Some people that went to college actually busted their ass to get scholarships so they could go. Take it easy, it sounds like you have an inferiority complex about it. There’s still time to get one on the city’s dime. I’m not going to bust your balls about spelling, grammar, or if you made a point, etc. You made outstanding points throughout your post. It’s not our fault that the powers that be made the requirement 60 hours or a bachelor’s degree.
Having any type of degree doesn’t make you a better officer, I understand that. It’s a shame that the FTO program is so shitty because we really need experienced officers more than ever to teach PPO’s out of the academy.
all you dumb idiots want is a black mayor every time you criticize Daley
I hear that there is a movment afoot to rename the block of Roosevelt Rd. where boo-boo was kilt after him, any truth to it??
movement
I think the richie scotch breath is funny creative and right on. keep it up it, should be a daily blog on its own.but then again I know the merit Lt. and his band of drunks
there was the media kissing up to the blacks even having the mother of somebody saying that a bunch of cops were beating on her kid
I like how the idiot media failed to mention that the shithead who rightfully died got locked up for basically the same thing not too long ago, hitting or attemting to hit a po w/his car. He got what he deserved. Also, didn't he get shot in the shoulder and the bullet traveled into his chest and not in the head like his idiot girlfriend was trying to say on the news? I like that the news said something about "inexperienced policing" what the fuck??? That's total B.S. in a situation like that
The "comments" section on the petition contained some very good comments, but also some extremely inappropriate comments - just go through and read it. I was shocked that anyone would add them to the petition - all they do is make the petition meaningless. Additionally, I think that when you sign a petition below the signature and comments, you are essentially agreeing with all the comments. The comment section should have been left off, and in that case I don't think there would have been ANY exempt who DIDN'T sign it after looking at it. The original petition position was well written - but the comments (not all of them, but many of them, and I think there was a disparaging comment in the first 50 signors of the petition)were inappropriate, that section should NOT have been included in the petition.
And, to leomemorial: What exactly did the Chicago Police Memorial Foundation actually DO to anyone? It is not a person, only a foundation????
I also just saw the news and how they were one sided. Where they there to see what happened? No.
The dead man's wife is saying how the CPD just shoot and kill pretty much anyone these days, yet the media said this guy had what, 35 different criminal violations? Wasn't he with a woman in the vehicle? Who was the woman if he was married, just curious.
He could have killed that officer and people are are his side? Plus a huge group of angry people coming out... the media showed oen person who had marks on his neck after police had to subdue him.
WHAT A CROCK
I saw the Sgt's list as I was leaving work today. Looked over it real quick. Can anyone post it here??
just watch that front sight and get that suprise trigger break !
Asshole was shot through and through the left arm and it entered the left side of his chest and lodged. He was also shot in the left knee area. That's the one that probably killed him....knew he wouldn't be able to run from the police anymore.
Steps of thunder
Cadence we hear
We march in May
Eyes with tears
We honor our fallen
Love in our heart
Memories forever
Families take heart
Whether troopers or sheriffs
Together we’re strong
To fight all that’s evil
And right all the wrongs
They all fought the battle
Bravely and true
Courage under fire
Angels in blue
So join us this morning
Marching in peace
Brothers and sisters
We’re Chicago Police
The AREA TWO GUN TEAM would of just dick slapped this guy in the face till he pulled over and stopped his vehicle.
They are the real police and REAL MEN
DID SGT. LIST COME OUT
I don't agree with Northside on too many things, but I'll back him 100 per cent on those goofs who lash out at Renee.
What does it matter she is not the police? She supports our cause(s) and that is the important thing. The guy who keeps posting things against her was probably turned down by her for a date.

The officer did a great job. However, we see on the news all the family and friends speaking out how the police should have just wounded him, or just not shot his weapon but insted called for a time out. Like we could really just backup and re-think the situation. Now comes the city and Monique Bond issue her script statement as always. "The officer feared for his life, fired his weapon resulting in a fatal injury". How about better DAMAGE CONTROL. Let the public know, were not trained to shoot at vehicles. We dont have time to aim to injure. Show them the streaming video of the old caprice classic being shot up with every weapon possible, then being drivin away by an officer with 40 pounds of glass in his ass. Ok. Too much to ask for. How about a little more public awareness that you fight the police you loose. You pull a gun on the police you die. you roll up the window to your car pinning a police officer then driving away, your on your own and let the best man win. Thankfully this time the officer had the change to overcome the challenge.
As I see it, everytime somebody tries to defeat an arrest and is stopped by our Lawful and Justified use of force is our public awareness campaign. The messege is clear. This guy had an extensive arrest record. As recently as February, he assulted another police officer on a traffic stop. I guess he won't be doing that again!!
I bought that shot up Caprice Classic from the police auction years ago. It still runs great. It's a little breezy from all the holes in it but during the summer that feels good and saves me gas because I don't have to use the air conditioner.
And CHICKS love it! Its a Chick-Magnet Car.
I think an old time boss would of just told the media,
The color boy just should of listen to the police and he might of gotten a beating but be alive.
The offender shot last night had 9 fel. arrests and like 6:13 said he was arrested for doing same thing a little while back, ramed a squad and another vehicle in chase and came out swings after his vehicle was stopped. Last night he was shot in arm and fatal shot went into his cavity. Was sent to prison in nov 05 so how did he get out so fast?

You hit the nail right on the head. The public needs to know that this is not hollywood. This is real, life or death.
Reformed good behavior behind bars. Gave him the bus ticket back to society. Plus his rent subsidy ran out.
Thank God the officer is ok. Remember the officers who were not so lucky this Sunday. Let their families know you remember. I will be there for the 23rd year in a row. I don't go for the boss. it never made a difference to me I figured they either liked me or didnt due to what I did the rest of the year. 22 years ago I was a pall bearer for an officer who's family will be in the Gold Star Family seats. Put all this petty bull shit squabbling behind you and go show the families you care. Just hope someday your family isn't in the stands and some asshole isn't telling everyone to boycott St. Judes. That is the asshole who is making it political.
Click nigga!
Boom nigga!
Now you dead nigga!
The only Hollywood you see on this BLOG is a bunch of self appointed Heros, who couldn't find dope if they were tied down in a poppy field. What do you think the family of any person shot by the POLICE is going to say!!! OH my son the ass hole got what was coming to him, My husband the multiple felon should have gotten shot! A crook is a crook, so why do so many people get upset when crooks acts like crooks....probably because they spend their entire career advoiding them and going the other way when they are needed. Bunch of sorry, pussy ass bitches. I bet you can't wait until St.Jude parade is over with, so you can go back to your over priced bungalows, liced infected children and wart mangled wives and parade up and down in front of your dining room table like you make a difference somewhere. Jagoff, cry babies MFer's! Only thing you worry about is where is your overtime check, out of grade check, special employment check and who made rank in a test you were to "F"ing stupid to take yourself
Huh?
10:12, Cynthia is that you?

Settle down sport. you need anger management along with reading comprehension classes.
Their beef is with the media putting this bullshit on the news in an effort to get ratings. We all know what the shithead's family is going to say, we just dont need to see it on the news
Hey 10:12......do you feel better now that that huge weight is off your chest????
Are you frickin bi-polar????
In response to an earlier post, The CPD Memorial Foundation explains what they do here:
http://www.cpdmemorial.org/
Sgt. Michael P. Murphy runs it and donations are from businesses. They have an outside salesman who goes out for them. They get HEAVY donations.
He also told me that he wants to do something for disabled officers. I think they should build a center for them on that park land, make it narrow and with 2, maybe 3 floors. Get computers/desks donated and put Pres. Giamabalvo (spelling?) in there as well (get programs rolling, how to cope with disability, volunteers, etc.).
Sgt. Murphy Office tel. number is 312-499-8899.
As for the petition, you cannot alter it right now until the petition is closed. Once it's done, certain comments will be deleted as well as first name only postings prior to printing.
Btw: please do not boycott the march this sunday. thank you.
Another "fine job" by monique bond.
There was alot of confusion, and we need to investigate the matter further"
No, Ms. Bond. There was Not alot of confusion! There were 100 animals trying to fuck-up the investigation, who needed to be dealt with. They were dealt with, and the investigation continued.
Her words on the news implied that the police did not know what happened. Who's side is this broad on? How many millions is this broad going to cost the city (or worse, the coppers involved)?
At least Camden did his usual speech, which was aired after hers.
It's bad enough that we have to worry about getting into one of these situations. We don't need to be sandbagged by this clueless broad.
hey 10:12, whose side are you on? oh wait, i think that's pretty obvious jagoff!!
On Leo post.
There's old history with the Pres. you name. There was a check involved, and a dispute, along with other issue's. Here we go. Your cause sounds worthy but I have seen the motion.
The media doensnt print or televise that a police shooting was good and justified because then it wont sell papers or keep viewers glued to television. Also when the media stirs the pot the are hoping lets say for a demonstration,riot,violence against police,etc..that inturn will generate more "BREAKING STORIES",that will sell more papers and boost their ratings. So if the shit ever his the fan because of their reporting tactics and when they are in the jungle and the animals turn on them and begin to attack them.I say fuck them, they reap what they sow.They are slowly working their way up the shit list close to defense attorney's.

At Roll Call today there was a message from the DC almost BEGGING P.O.'S to attend St. Jude.
THE GOLD STAR CLOWNS READ THIS SITE VERY VERY VERY MUCH.
The history of the St. Jude March must be understood. In the era before the FOP, when the Department and the political establishment could and did operate autonomously and arbitrarily, the St. Jude March was used as a yardstick to measure the control individual CO's had over their units. Pressure came from the top for perfect attendance. A luncheon, paid for by the St. Jude Society, was held shortly before the march for the exempts in order to underscore the importance of a strong showing. There were no valid excuses for not attending. In fact few did not attend. Roll call was taken at the event, and those absent were identified as not being company guys. Absence was viewed as a personal affront to the unit CO and resulted in retaliation. This co-opting of the families of the fallen came later as the establishment began to lose its grip.
The most interesting insight into the purpose of the event can be found in the manner in which the march itself was conducted. We used to march in the Loop to St. Peter's church for the memorial mass. Many of the marchers were actually interested in attending the mass. However, the commoners were not allowed to stay. We were marched passed the assembled exempts and dignitaries to the sounds of the Drum and Bugle Corps at the entrance to St. Peter's, down the center aisle, and out a side door into the alley. We were told to quickly and quietly disband while the big boys attended the service.
For some the march will always be viewed as the bosses' parade and reviled for that reason. Unfortunately, draping the event in the mantles of the fallen officers makes it harder for others to be critical.
Maybe we could spend more time on what has happened, what is happening, and what may happen as opposed to the name calling.
Keep voting for corrupt Irish politicians who promote corrupt Irish bosses and you'll continue to see the same.
11:56, THANK YOU for posting that.
Does anyone not get this now?
Yeah 3:32, there are still lots of Irish bosses fucking this job up Moron. How many are left? We all know what types are making this job the joke that it is.
02:01:47 AM
Yeah, I can read between the lines. Sounds like someone was kicked to the curb along with other disabled po's that they pick and chose to keep. Way to go.
Leo
On the mark, there was considerable damage done during that time. It runs deeper, lack of insight across board representation and bad book keeping. Whether one agreed or disagreed with issue's during those days, the way it was handled was unprofessional and an insult to officer's who needed assistance and representation. I feel Ms. G was more about herself then about who she claimed to represent. Conduct I and others frown on. I don't like seeing copper's screwed over.
MAN THE POLICE DISRESPECTED THE PEOPLE ON THIS ONE... WE HOPE OPS COMES DOWN HARD ON THOSE OFFENDING OFFICERS FOR THE BEATINGS AND HOME INVASIONS THEY COMMITED!!!

The best part is the looks on dumps faces after you kick the door in! Your shouting will get ya slammed if you don't shut the F@$K UP!
9:02... thanks. Sad to say, I didn't know much about this. It made me wonder why it didn't work out. Well, why is she still President? How does she get in that post as it is?
I think it's hard enough losing an officer or to be disabled than having certain people represent you that are doing it for themselves instead of what they're supposed to be doing. It creates more damage. And is very hurtful. But there should also be some type of "check & balance" system in order to protect others.
For instance, I have several assistants. Most are LE. They give me plenty of input and have taught me much over the years. When I first started the memorial, I made a few mistakes and they let me know it. LOL
The above is kinda a lame example, but ... I guess when you're dealing with funding, etc there should be someone else beside the President dealing with that matter and someone checking to make sure the books balance out, projects, programs, etc You know, make sure there is progress and things accomplished. Just my opinion.
Leo,
She set up the non-profit with a few other's and some I'm sure fell away. If it's your toy you run it as you choose. Non-profits and their boards if not done right can be non-effective. This does not mean they can't be run as you aready know. Her title her toy, I voiced my opinion long ago and I was familiar with all sides. There is a uphill battle with anything concerning disabled officer's. My theory it is not being done right, nor by the right people. Other's have tried and it turns into a fight, even among officer's who often look at disabled poorly, instead of supporting the officer period. Some day soon, I hope the rank and file will wake up and come together. Some things you can control and other's you cannot. Supporting fellow officer's is not something to be taken lightly and your true heart and determination needs to be in it. That goes for any cause involving officer's.
11:56
And we used to get 3 hours of OT for attending St. Jude too... why would someone choose not to go then? I think the whole thing has evolved over the last 30 years, no one is getting dumped/or any other negative thing nowadays if they don't show up... except that out of a sense of personal pride and commitment, and as an honor and memorial to those who have fallen, one should attend...
Let's be honest here, a good number of officer's go so they don't have to stand for inspection. A little trade off for showing numbers created by La Mgmt.
I support the true meaning of St Jude and feel the honor involved in the march for our fallen officer's and families is important. I also understand the other views on the politics of St Jude. The inspection demonstrates that point. Mgmt. still looks at the PO's that don't show for what ever reason as non-team members, that embarrass them by lowering their numbers. Non-showing has been used to present disrespect for your commander and mgmt. knows this. It was used as a measuring stick on the value of the boss. These days I doubt Headquarters gives a shit about sh#ty boss's.
thank you for explaining that 11:50. yes, any cause is a huge battle for the officers. trust me, i know that very well over the years...
20th disrict SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
11:56
And we used to get 3 hours of OT for attending St. Jude too... why would someone choose not to go then
Gee, let's see. How about, BECAUSE IT WAS THE BOSSES' PARADE.
St.Jude is part and parcel of the fake image of the police department that the exempts and their political masters need to project in order to keep their phoney-baloney jobs. You know, the most technologically advanced department in the world, the best trained department in the world, hell, even the best police department in the world. It's all a carefully arranged facade and when we march by the reviewing stand, we're just so much background. If they really respected us, they'd treat us better in life. Exclude the exempt dog and pony show and maybe the event would mean something.
The St. Jude's March is the exempts' hypocritical dog and pony show.
God hears all our prayers. Offer private prayers and do NOT attend.
Daley and his exempts must learn that their cowardice will not be tolerated.
BOYCOTT ST. JUDE'S!
God bless John Gilhooly, Frank Rappaport and all our fallen comrades!
What the media and the "citizens" are forgetting to mention is that the scene in 010 was rather orderly until the natives began throwing rocks and bottles at the police...
I'm going and I am making sure that Officers Gilhooly, Rappaport and Knox are NOT forgotten on my sign! This is not going to be easy, but must be done. Please come.
Well done, Miss Greco!
