Flagg Pleads Out
- Former Chicago police officer Corey Flagg pleaded guilty Wednesday to charges he used his badge to shake-down drug dealers, and there is potentially an even bigger payoff for prosecutors. Flagg will cooperate in investigations against other former officers.
- Later, during Flagg's guilty plea, a prosecutor said the officers used traffic stops and home invasions to rip-off drug dealers and sometimes worked off-duty in other police districts using CPD vehicles, weapons and other equipment.
Flagg still faces 252 MONTHS in the Federal prison system, subject to final plea arrangements (it could be reduced). What a disgrace.

I'm First you lawbreaking fucks
Corey A Flagg
CPD is full of Corey Flaggs
Lord I hope you are wrong.
Another cop shooting for his life tonight. What is wrong with this City?!
Corey Flagg is a piece of SHIT !He's trying to save his ass but that can't be done. The Feds have him by the balls and he thinks he will get a greatly reduced sentence if he cooperates. But in the mean time he's going to take down a bunch more of his brothers in blue.Corey what are you thinking. Take your time and shut the fuck up you are a low life and I hope you get FUCKED in the ASS while your enjoying your stay with the Federal Justice system. You are a PIECE OF SHIT !!!!!
Fuck Corey Flagg. I used to be drinking buddies with his old man. His father would often break down and cry, saying that Corey would often confide in him, when he was drunk, that he liked to prance around the house in his mothers clothes, when no one was around, listening to Gary Glitter records. One day, his father accidently walked in on this sick one man carnival and had to be rushed to the hospital and treated for a heart attack. Supposedly, Corey went crooked to pay for a sex change and then he was gonna run off to Aruba with his fifteen year old Chinese male lover. Fuck Corey Flagg. I hope they do it to him New York style with a plunger in prison.
Yeah Corey, let it go and take it like a man. You know they would for you!
I'm affraid that today's coppers won't go down alone.The Feds just luv ya. They know that there's always someone out there willing to talk and take down a bunch more. Only the coppers from yesteryear went down with the ship and wouldn't tell the Fucken Feds anything. Take for instance the MARQUETTE 10. They didn't do it and they went down together as a group. Never saying anything about anyone else. But the Feds wanted them too. They said FUCK YOU try and convict us. Because that fucken Dan Webb had a Suburban jury they did. I give them coppers credit for sticking together. I hope that Corey Flagg rots in prison until he dies.
How long will it take before the inmates fuck the L and one of the G's out of his last name.
I think about 6 months.
Corey A Fag
Should we worry about his brother who's also a cop?
I hope there are no officers whose stars are on display at 35th Street that get caught up in this...
You guys should listen to yourselves. You're a disgrace. Flagg is a disgrace so now he wants to rat out other wrongdoers -how does that make him any more of a badguy. Why should you want him to keep his mouth shut about other coppers who are wrong? Why would you want him to? We use snitches and informants all the time to weed out the bad guys. Why would any of you want Flagg to keep his mouth shut and protect the guilty. Why would you want to work with the guilty. . . I say rat them all out - let's have a purge and get rid of as many rogue cops as we can!!! God bless Corey Flagg - I hope he rats out a bunch of them.
To 10:40 pm.
Your putting way to much thought into this sir. Things aren't that black and white. Have you worked in 016 your whole time on the job? Yeah, no one should want crooked coppers on the force, but you calling us a disgrace for bashing Flagg is way out of line. Fuck him and fuck his partners in crime maybe, but if you like him so much and want god to bless him, then why don't you share a prison cell with him and you could keep him company and tuck him in at night. It would probably be a toss up over who would be the bitch because you both sound like a couple of total pole smokers.
P.S. Go fuck yourself!
GOD BLESS FLAGG????? I say let him rat out the other mother fuckers...Those of you that bash him for it are nuts and those of you that bless him are also nuts....honor amongst thieves? please....let em all rot in hell
Like Cline said he just played bad cop. Will any boss's go down? What's missing here, boss's lost sight, ear and total control of various manpower, car's, radio's, and were only hearing about the Flagg groupies.
Fuck Flagg and all those like him. They're a disgrace. Anyone who feels sorry for someone like him is nuts. Good riddance you piece of shit.
You want to bless Flagg huh, hear you held the rear door open for him. That's some of the silly shit he will try to bail on anything and everything.
Is Corey Flagg the son of former CPD Sgt. Carl Flagg?
Corey Flagg: May your genepool rot in prison.
The problem with saying Flagg and his crew should name names and now they are being honest is the similarity to Rafael Perez & Nino Durden in LAPD's Rampart CRASH Unit. Those guys just made shit up about all kinds of coppers. They failed multiple lie boxes and the D.A. refused to prosecute most of the officers. However Perez and Durden had their deals and did little time. Acting like a responsible municipal government, Los Angeles fired most of the officers named and told them to sue if they wanted their jobs back. Do you really expect anything better out of Flagg? Will you believe him if he says a a murdered officer was dirty? Is he a crook or a hero to you? He is a piece of shit that should be housed and not given a deal to make shit up.
anyone up for a little game of prison Flagg football?!???
I worked in 007 in the early 2000's and those guys up there in tact were really closed together, hardly talk to any of us patrol officers. Something going to hit the fan alright. They going way DOWN.
I hate "Mondays" and he's a Monday...
cops like flagg exist because GOOD COPS do NOTHING....
Kinda like ANONYMOUS

It is down right despicable to think about some of the thought processes being expressed! Corey Flagg has plead guilty to some horrible offenses that totally demean everything that wearing the ‘badge’ represents, and some of you are advocating he keep his mouth shut? To think, you want him to “protect” his brothers in blue! “Take it like a man?”
My question marks are in response to these ludicrous remarks and expressions! I’m sure it could be quite profitable to run around taking “ill-gotten gain”, robbing, pillaging and distributing dope, BUT, if I ever decided to make the career change, the very first thing I would do is TURN THE BADGE IN!!! There is no rational justification or reasoning for police officers to be involved in criminal activities! Furthermore, it is insidious for any of you to think that the ‘code of blue’ extends to anyone involved in these shenanigans. And the idiot that has referenced the ‘stand up’ character of the Marquette 10 needs to be horsewhipped! “Only the coppers from yesteryear went down with the ship and wouldn't tell the Fucken Feds anything.” Oh, they should have told! One of my first court appearances turned into a complete spectacle when a ‘copper’ from 010 recognized me approaching the bench. His case had just concluded and mine was called. His apparent surprise at seeing me in uniform was only ‘trumped’ by the public tongue lashing I gave him in open court. “That’s right! Not another dime! You will never rob me again Mother Fucker!” The entire court room was silenced; he walked away with his head hung down like the punk coward he was, using the badge for crime. He didn’t utter one word! He didn’t challenge or attempt to defend.
It’s a simple point, and please allow me to put it in the clearest language to be understood by all, “If you rob, rape, steal, distribute drugs, you are not the police! You shouldn’t be wearing the badge, you deserve no protection, and you should have never been distinguished with the public’s trust!
Lastly, I can imagine that this site is readily reviewed and the conversation of many who are not law enforcement. Many of your comments bolster the already negative image and stereotypes the public at large feels about many of us. What are you thinking? You don’t care! You’re the police, so you can do as you please! What a croc!
Well said and Amen!!!!!!!!!!!!
To the poster 06:19:42am, your missing the point!!! Every poster here has said Flagg was a piece of crap and deserves to go to jail. He doesn't deserve a deal!!!! He also has no credibility!!!!!!! Shitheads that he and his team have locked up in the past r already having convictions overturned and being set free.
Why should anything he says about Police Officers be believed either???? He will say anything and everything to get his sentence reduced. He might say that you or I r dirty cops. I've never met this clown and I've never seen him except on TV. I'm not dirty and I doubt you r either. He may have knowledge of CR#s good working coppers got and say I saw that incident. The Copper did beat down that dude. Next that copper will be charged federally for violating shitheads civil rights.
The Feds want as many heads as possible out of this. The City will look to fire anybody he names. Like one poster said good police officers will have to fight to get their jobs back for doing nothing wrong and have their names tarnished forever for nothing. Police Officers r guilty until proven innocent. Thats the way it is.
Finally a gallup poll was recently done and the police were in the top 3 of professions that the public has respect and trust in. The people who don't like us never will. I don't care what clowns like that want. You can go shove your sociology bull where it belongs. If anybody can't smell that this poster is a Sgt or higher shame on you. We know its somebody who doesn't do any work and certainly isn't on the street.
Go back to your desk and read the blog. Pretend like your the working police and have a good day.
Hey Corey!!!! Hope you like to bite the pillow when they push your shit in!!!!!!
If I didn't make myself clear on the 07:30 post. I do hope Flagg and his cohorts that r already charged rot in jail for the rest of their lives. I only worry about the innocent coppers he trys to jam up or coppers who may have turned a blind eye once not realizing what was going on. We all know this clown is going to pul names out of hat who had nothing to do with anything.

Is Corey Flagg the son of former CPD Sgt. Carl Flagg?
-----------------------------------
Yes he is, do you have any good information???
Yes corey Flagg is shit. Why would you say shout up when it comes to takeing down his brothers in blue. If your robbing people and shaking them down on traffic stops. Fuck you. Your not my brother un blue. You a criminal!!
You make those of us who are law abiding peolice officers look bad and we have no place for you on this department. For the person who said he should "shut the fuck up". Fuck you. I hope your one of them that needs to go down!
mqpylIm so fuckin pissed off I cant even type. Sorry for the mistakes above.
Get something straight: The Feds don't really need his testimony to convict the others already indicted. His testimony will just be "icing on the cake" and lead to longer sentencing.
And as far as anyone who might be in the honored star case that was involved in this mess? Nail. Head. But it isn't going to be addressed.
To the poster of 07:30:41 AM, I, as the poster of 06:19:42am, didn’t miss the point or anything in between. I agree that Flagg’s credibility is diminished, but not TOTALLY diminished. We use ‘crooks’ on a daily basis in investigations FOR their credibility; i.e., ‘John Doe’ warrants. They give information that can be FOLLOWED UP on, that can, via good investigation identify leads and verify the allegation.
No one, not one Copper, not even you will be fired if Flagg says you beat someone. If you had the slightest professional acumen, or as you assert, you do some work, then open your eyes to the experience of your peer’s; the Fed’s won’t make one day of incarceration easy because he turned someone in for not buying a city sticker or kicking someone’s Ass. They will be looking for ‘good’ stuff. Deal making information will be VALUABLE AND VERIFIABLE information that discloses ‘criminal’ activities, verified through investigations that Flagg CAN’T make up! One criminal possibility, they may verify acts of ‘conspicuous consumption’. You know, possessing items you can’t conceivably afford, or should not have been able to do. There are other examples I could provide you, but I’m not here to educate the possible ‘crook’ that still wears the badge.
Far too often police officers exaggerate the ‘perceived’ threat and totally embellish the ‘doom and gloom’ possibilities. You know I’m totally right! And as far as me being a Sergeant or above, “You’re damn right!” But, keep this in mind…many supervisors had, and some still have a good reputation as being workers. Some have had experiences, participated in good efforts, notable street level investigations, notable Unit investigations, and even combined agency investigations that would PROBABLY put your little experience levels to shame! Personally, I’ve worked in every ‘working’ district in this city at a time when the ‘Old Crusty’ one’s will tell you, those districts were at their height for being fast, busy and treacherous; 008 was not Englewood West, the Deuce was not an extension of Hyde Park, and Austin was no comparison to Fillmore! I’ve got commendations for murder arrests, not ‘paper jumping; mass weapon recoveries that didn’t need to cover ‘home invasions’; recovered kilo’s instead of ‘one baggers’!
Now, return to your simpleton mindset, play some more Nintendo, drink another 12 ounce and keep dreaming about being the real police! Far too many will agree! I said it before, and I’ll say it again, “If you rob, rape, steal, distribute drugs, you are not the police! And if Flagg or anyone else can help prove you’ve done these things, may NO code of blue extend to you another moment of wearing that Badge of distinction, BEING A POLICE OFFICER!
252 Months? What happened to the LIFE SENTENCE talk? So much for the corrupt cop taking money scare tactic of receiving a LIFE SENTENCE. The FEDS case must of been REALLY WEAK. WHAT A JOKE. From a good source we hear FLAGG will only get, now get this, 2 YEARS, That is it. That is ALL. And, FLAGG will be in an enviroment much akin to a "COUNTRY CLUB SETTING" Lets see, put FLAGG on a team of HONEST cops on the AREA 2 GUN TEAM. Let FLAGG do his dirty work among HONEST cops. Let FLAGG accumulate lots and lots and lots of money and narcotics. Let FLAGG hide the proceeds of the crime unknown to his peers, give FLAGG two years EASY TIME, and let FLAGG LIVE LIKE A MILLIONARE for the rest of his LIFE. Good gig. Instead of FLAGG taking it up the ass, we took it up the ass by the embaressment of it all. And the saddest of all is the HONEST cops on the AREA 2 GUN TEAM got their lives disrupted because of the goofball. Real nice, FEDS. REAL NICE.
I really try not to ever type anything on this space but sometimes you coppers really push my buttons. This is not the situation to bring up the Marquette ten. I worked with every one of those coppers except the one that wasn't from 010 (disimone). If any of you coppers think that the government won't put a case on you then I hope you make it through your career without that happening. I was on that tact team and there isn't a tact team in this city that could hold a candle to them when it comes to doing police work. Did it ocurr to anyone that maybe they didn't have anybody to "rat" out? Did it ocurr to any of you that maybe they didn't do what they went to jail for? As for the so called copper that faced down one of them in court, your a fucking liar!! Put your name on here, mine is.
12:02 post----DID IT EVER OCCUR TO YOU THAT YOU CAN DO GOOD POLICE WORK AND NOT BE A CORRUPT COP. EAT SHIT ASSHOLE. I WILL BE DAMED TO TAKE YOUR SHIT. YOU OUR JUST AS GOOFY AS FLAGG COCKSUCKER.
Thats ok, I made my point you anonymous little prick.
SNETHEN...You got it 'way wrong' in my earlier post! The Copper I faced down was NOT one of the Marquette Ten, but he was from 010! That is a fact! The rogue activities were not a dream or nightmare, they were real! And some of them still are; evidenced by some of the lame brain comments being posted. I know your reputation and history, and you know mine, even assisted with a damn good arrest and never got credit for it. I was conveniently left off the paper…think back; Buzzy, Mike, Eddie…I don’t have to lie!
whose this snethen,sounds like an asshole
I don't mean to piss in anybodies cornflakes but that Marquette 010 crap really is wrong on here. I wouldn't be able to sleep if I didn't stick up for them. If you didn't know them or work with them keep your opinions to yourself.
Now, who are you thats calling me an asshole? Now my feelings are really hurt! You guy's spend too much time cutting each other up. Maybe that energy should be spent doing your jobs. BTW, I don't think I'm an asshole but I could be wrong.
For those of us short timers, what were the Marquette 010 locked up for? How did it differ from what those "officers" did in 007?
SNETHEN...may feel some allegiance to former co-workers, and he may sound a little skewed to some of you, BUT make no mistake about it, he was a 'worker', and I never viewed him as an Asshole. The previous 'poster' was out of line! And, you'd never get away with that face to face.
But keep one thing in mind my 'Blue' Brotherhood, some of your comrades can have some damaging habits and a 'so-called' need for sticky fingers...and they can manage to keep you from knowing.
The Marquette 010 went to jail on the testimony of two dope dealers, charlie Wilson and Green Smith. Wilson was forgiven a 33 year sentence for his testimony against them. They were accused of protecting the street dope operation at 16th and Christianna. It's wasn't like it is today, every copper in 010 backed up these guy's.
A big difference, this flagg guy pled guilty.
Brother Snethen,
You said it well. Today's coppers really don't know how it was back in the 70's. We all stuck together.Just like the Marquette 10 did. The persons that are talking there shit were only babies then and really don't know a lot. I like you buddy, worked with them and as far as I'm concerned they were the best tactical officers that ever patroled the streets of CHICAGO. There ain't another MotherF*&$#@ out there today that would be half as good now as they were then.
God Bless you Brudder. You gotta retire pal.
I worked with Snethen...great copper...a fine Marine...and now a solid sergeant. He even gave the First Deputy some shit once (former First Deputy Townsend) and I believe Mike Royko stood up for him. I know, I know...a lot of you are saying, "Who is Mike Royko?" We might need some Chicago history lessons. Anyway Snethen always tells it the way he sees it and he has the balls to sign his own name. Keep it up Sneezen. Ooorah!
What these young coppers don't realize is that they are just one bad day away from their time in federal court. Never knew the Marquette 10 guys but saw them in court all the time. They had a reputation as good working tact cops. Now having been a defendant in the wonderful federal court system, for civil rights excessive force b.s, I truly wonder how these new guys who know so much would handle it. God help us all it is time to retire.
correct me if im wrong but in roykos' book about daley 1 the quote in the foreward is "chicago...where the weather is cold and the cops are crooked"
I'm very sorry that I wrote something here. Should have kept my mouth shut...sorry.
Now you got it!!! Very few real police on here so just read this for laughs and sometimes good gossip. But as far as preachin to these morons... don't bother. Real police know who the real police are. No need to talk about it!
To 11:14:22 am, I'm the poster you responded to and I rest my case. I knew you were a Sgt or higher. Actually I think your a Lt or higher. Your writing style gives it away. U can tell you've been talking down to people who you think your better than for quite a while.
Now, on to your post. Where did I say it was okay to rob or steal??? It is wrong period and does disgrace the badge. Nobody on this post said it was okay. U also know that putting a foot in somebodys ass is part of the job. That would be considered a crime by the same people your worried about disenchanting with posts about ratting other coppers out. It sometimes has to be done.
I've done my own investigations and used snitches and shitheads to get search warrants. With your expierence you know that its rare to get a phone call or somebody to just walk into your office with good info out of sudden attack of morals (though it has happened to me a few times). To working police officers or even decent coppers this is common knowledge. We all have to weigh our options in dealing with scum as to if its worth our time or frusrtation.
I've been in court before with my name as the defendant. Its not fun and its actually very scary. U r very naive or out of touch to think innocent people aern't going to face some heat because of Flagg or any other lying ass dirty cop saying something about you. Its happened to me before. I had to prove myself innocent and there is no denying that.
I have no clout, juice, or connections. I've been down to IAD and OPS without a phone call to make. When I make detective in about 4 classes, it will be off the list. With the expierences you have or at least claim to have. I have to wonder if the juice has been loose a few times in your career.
Finally, I don't have time to play video games. I'm a P.O. and proud of it!!! I work special and have a side job to take care of my family. I don't make the money you do to sit behind a desk. Both times I posted were in the a.m. Once before work and this time before my side job. I know you can't say the same!!!!!!
You must have some time , you wrote a long ass entry!
You're right! You'd think such a hard working family man would be catching some shut-eye before he went to his next job. He's not playing Nintendo, he's on here!
My LAST retort to the poster 6/09/2006 09:11:51 AM, my writing style Sir is the same now, as to before I first entered this job. It is not important as to what my rank or position may be. You made an educated guess based upon my wording and use of the English language; I in turn admitted it! Use some of that investigative acumen when you become a detective in the next “four” classes. I did years ago. Now, the point I was emphasizing was the insidious remarks about Flagg or anyone else to “keep their mouths shut” about other officers doing wrong! The ludicrous assertions that the Marquette 10 did not cooperate and rat-out their brothers in blue.” Personally, I don’t want a dope dealer or an armed robber sitting in the same squad car or office with me. Furthermore, I don’t want that type of person sitting next to you or anyone else that wears the badge! So! If Corey Flagg or anyone else could offer information that proves CREDIBLE in identifying such a “so-called officer”, I say that he should “sing to the high heavens!”
Those of you that may be concerned or offended by some kind of ‘deal’ to be cut; don’t be! The Fed’s will not be cutting down any sentences to time served, probation, or even five years, unless the mope delivered Osama Bin Laden himself!
And no! My naiveté does not ignore the possibility of wrongful allegations. But, my belief in a concerted defense, good character witnesses, my own investigative acumen and an ability to articulate the facts has ALWAYS worked to shut down any constructed and contrived attacks against myself, and in fact, several others. Yes! I have sat at police board hearings, called as a character and rebuttal witness (court too). I’m sure I’ve pissed the “chain” off a few times when some ‘trumped up’ garbage was labeled at a good and hard working Copper. One thing I see far too much on this site is a constant bantering of others work performance and experience. Some of it is warranted by the obviously stupid remarks that are made, but for the most part, there is a greater climate of friction than there is of rapport. You Sir are not the only one who has had ‘charges’ cast against them! You prevailed! Now try my experiences on for size; false allegations and criminal rights from the beginning. Yes! While on probation! It didn’t weaken my constitution; it bolstered it to fight back!
So, in final, I personally would not worry about any MENIAL allegations made by someone convicted or pleading to high crime. I welcome the opportunity to expose any “riff-raff” PRETENDING to be the POLICE!
When Lukensmeyer stole the squad car and shook down drug dealers he got a pass from the Feds...Why? He turned snitch and gave up fellow boys in blue...Corey can do the same and SAVE his ass!!!
This what you get when you let the BEAST on thr job...

A nameless coward like you couldn't make a patch on Dan Lukensmeyer's ass.
Luke was a legendary South Side street copper.
I'll post a final reply to my counterpart 02:03:03 that I've bantered with a little on this thread.
I do respect what you have to say. Your writing skills r excellent. U r probably a solid veteran of this dept. I'm thinking 20 plus years. Your game seems to be to good to be bull. I truly hope you've accomplished everything you've written. I hope to still have the drive and desire you seem to have at this pt in your career when god willing I get there. I'll even apologize for some of the jabs I took at you. Coppers still trying to do the job in this day and age should stick together. We can always disagree but be respectful.
I'll leave it at this. Flagg and his fellow thugs hopefully will all rot in the federal pen for at least the next 20 years. It should serve as an example of what happens when you betray the trust of the public and your fellow officers. Fuck those jagoffs. To all the honest officers, stay safe!!!

Danny is what these young cops out there will never be...a brutal take charge of the situation old school cop-who will not submit to crime!
If you ever worked the man you would have no reason to believe he wouldn't take care of business!
He WAS the street...He was the NIGHT...Who are you man?
-I'm Lukensmeyer!!!
Dude, you stole that line from a Batman movie! Yeah...he was BRUTAL!!! He definitely hated any race other than Caucasian too.
-011 copper
Flaggs father may have been the Sgt in Fillmore who was indicted by the Feds for tavern shakedowns in 18, when he was released he went and worked for Illinois Department Of Corrections.
Throughout most of his career, Lukensmeyer was a brutal and abusive cop who was adicted to various painkillers and gambling, both of which got him into serious trouble toward the end of his career. His theft of the unmarked squard car (or more likely, he simply "forgot" to return it for two years) was merely a symptom of what he had become. His paranoia led him not to trust other people, particularly women which was probably why he lived with his mother well into his 30's or early 40's. But mostly he never involved anyone but his partner in his sub-terr activities. When he was caught, all they had on him was the car, they didn't have anything to squeeze him and never ratted on anyone. He merely pled to the misdemeanor and retired. Hear he's in Florida now. Whatever you do don't hold out Luke as a roll model, even he would tell you that was stupid.
Will Flagg be at half mast when he get the full staff?
Anyone know the story of the soutside dick who lost two wives in boating accidents a few years back? Does anyone remember whose handcuffs were supposedly found on Alderman Ben Lewis when he was murdered? What police lieutenant shot and killed his girlfriend, was never prosecuted because his brother was a Monsignor in the church, and was later promoted to Captain to boot? Fuck Chicago. You better pray the Republicans keep the Whitehouse or you can kiss the present US Attorney goodbye. This town and this job offers nothing to anyone anymore who isn't a connected criminal.
