The Manpower Shortages Will Continue
Looks like we aren't going to see any hiring pushes anytime soon. We heard (A) they still haven't sent out the results of the January entrance exam and (B) the mayor has a $64.5 million dollar hole in his budget.
We heard whispers and rumors that the reason they haven't released results for the entrance test given in January is there are allegations of fraud. One of the wilder stories involves the "on-line testing" that was unveiled for this particular test. We've heard from two sources is that certain persons overseas, possibly in the Middle East, Asia and/or Europe, took the test under false pretenses as someone else looking to get hired. We have no way of verifying any of this at the moment and as every regular readers knows, this is a hotbed of rumors. Anyone have insight or inside info?
As to the budget hole, you have got to love the City Administration and Aldercreatures telling us it's no big deal having a shortfall of only $64.5 million. Look for higher fines and fees along with no extraneous hiring for the Police Department.

When are we going to wake the fuck up. Taxes just went up at least $125.00 a month and we just sit here and take it so the ghetto rats can live for free. I wish to god I never took this job with this shit hole city. Our kids are not safe. If you are young get out while you can. Before wildawg is ringin yo dobell axin do yo baby beez home.
65 Million short in the budget and they vote themselves a raise, don't slow down putting in flowerpots and speed bumps and cut our benefits.
How much per paycheck do our elected perps put in for their medical benefits!?! What medical plans do they have now and in retirement!?!
Time for an administration change!
65 million, our county home taxes went up 1600.00. So much for that 10yr step raise. Oh, minus the extra deduction for health benefits! Thanks Richie Daley! NOT!

Was anyone part of the "search and rescue" operation conducted in 020 last night? Seemed like they never experienced a power outtage before.

wow a M-16 to write some "Fing" tickets!
W.H.: I think I found the guidelines that cover how the city is getting away with taking our deferred comp. money and keeping it for 30 days. Apparently they have till the 15th of the month following the month of our deduction. So they are using a rule that's supposed to be for extreme circumstances but using it on a regular basis to make money for the city while we get screwed. The city puts out Public Relations bullshit encouraging us to contribute to deferred comp because it's good for us but really they want you to contribute because THEY make money. A LOT of money.
Talk at 35th st. is they will be asking retired CPD to come back. Must not be retired over 36 mos. to qualify. These spots will have a max. stay of 48 mos. Pay will be at whatever level you retired at. Possible 500 to 1000 spots available. All will go to District manpower, no special units. One week refesher course at academy. May be some Sgts. spots also. No brass.
Yeah "clear the decks"or "make it like the military". Sure and when you smart guys that want this come to your 20 years they will have to drag you off this job. The only reason the military ever started getting rid of people was because of that dumb fuck Clinton cutting it back. Now look at the problems the military has during a war. Not enough people so guys keep getting sent back to Iraq over and over again. I am convinced that dumb fucks that talk all this shit can't be on this job. No way can we have this many retarded coppers.
THERE AIN'T NO WAY THAT IS TRUE ABOUT 009-12:20. NOBODY WANTS TO BE A SLOW DISTRICT PUKE PRENTENDING TO BE "COLUMBO." THE WAY YOU KIDIDIOTS WORK IS MORE LIKE "INSPECTOR CLOUSSEAU." GAVE ME A GOOD LAUGH THOUGH. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU CLAIMED PEOPLE IN OTHER UNITS LIKE SOS, ETC WANT TO BE LIKE YOU? HAHAHAHAHA...WHO WANTS TO BE A SNIVELING PUSSY COWARD WORKING IN BRIDGEPORT? YOU PUSSIES WOULDN'T KNOW REAL CRIME IF YOU WERE STANDING ON HARRISON AND KEDZIE. YOU ALL ARE SUCH LOSERS AND BITCHES THAT THE WHOLE WORLD KNOWS YOUR BUISNESS. GROW SOME HAIR ON YOUR NUTS AND COME TO 011 PUSSY-BOY!
WE ALL KNOW YOUR FEMALE COPPERS ARE THE ONLY ONES IN 009 WORTH ANYTHING. QUIT TRYING TO HANG WITH THE BIG BOYS...IT AIN'T GOING TO EVER HAPPEN!
FILLMO FOREVER
Fuck all the shit about 007 and 011. I want to know about 022. Has there been an outcry for more working police in the neighborhoods? Will there be openings soon? As a copper who works the Southside, I am ready to patrol my own neighborhood now. What is going on in Beverly now? Is the kid alright from the West Beverly beating? I don't hear much where I work, so I'm asking 022 coppers to shed some light. Thanks.
-006th copper
Kid is gonna make it. There is a police camera at 103rd/Campbell overlooking the park. Will and Willemena have been patroling the neighborhoods a bit more. Things are getting better in 022.
No, you will not be able to bid to us. None of you...Hahahahahaha!
-022 RULES!!!!
Now calm down everybody just keep voting for the BOY Governor, the dwarf in City Hall, and the moron thats going to run the county board. The Sate of Illinois, the City of Chicago, and Cook County are the most corupt governments in the United States.
To bad the D.C. in 022 is a JAGBAG!!!!
He's the REAL POLICE, unlike many Southside Cmdrs out there. We in 022 are lucky to have such a dedicated Cmdr. You do not know what all he has done to keep the streets in 022 safe. Get a clue son!
Manpower shortages...sky rocketing taxes. All so we can have bust out drug dealing low lifes live at Northwest Highway and Devon for free.
Yes thank God for section 8. Now my kids can enjoy the same slime and filth right at home.
Run the plates of the ghetto cars parked at Northwest Highway and Devon. The little brown home next to the new condo's.
I am so proud that the city of Chicago takes care of its city workers so well. Pages and pages of drug arrests and now they are our nieghbors. Glad to see that my $1000.00 dollar a year tax increase will make it so much more better in my nieghborhood for the drug dealing section 8 hard working citizen. Keep your kids close by and maintain a watchfull eye.
Anybody that votes for daley is an idiot.
Look for higher fines and fees along with no extraneous hiring for the Police Department.
And what do we do....we go out there and make arrests. Dumb Dumb dumb. Now is the most vulnerable time for Mayor daley and we do nothing. Now is the time to get his attention.
Ahhhhhhhhhhh Come on now!
Excerpt from today's slumtimes.
Side note: Jerry Robinson steps down from Juvie position.
August 1, 2006
BOSTON -- Gov. Mitt Romney has apologized for referring to the troubled Big Dig construction project as a ''tar baby'' during a fundraiser with Iowa Republicans, saying he didn't know anyone would be offended by the term some consider a racial epithet.
In a speech Saturday, Romney, a Republican considering a run for president in 2008, acknowledged he took a big political risk in taking control of the project after a fatal tunnel ceiling collapse.
''The best thing politically would be to stay as far away from that tar baby as I can,'' he said.
Some black leaders were outraged at his use of the term, which dates to the 19th century Uncle Remus stories, referring to a doll made of tar that traps Br'er Rabbit.
Excerpt from an article written in 76, Machine Macinations. Keep voting democrate and remember Daley knows nuttin.
the ward committeeman, who is elected in the party’s mayoral primary. Committeemen choose the man who will run for alderman or for the state legislature from their area–subject to Daley’s approval naturally–and they often pick themselves. Since Democrats usually win the general election, the main battle is during the primaries, and to keep control of the party, the machine has used patronage to cultivate a virtually unbeatable advantage.
To ensure that advantage, jobs and other benefits are not given out piecemeal, but are used as “organizational cement.” According to Johnny and Peter, who is also an 11th ward precinct captain, each ward is given a certain number of city and county (and state, when it is under regular Democratic control) jobs to hand out as it pleases. Tommy Donovan, the mayor’s administrative assistant, is in charge of patronage for the city. He knows which jobs are open and who controls them. Since different positions carry different salaries and prestige, Donovan makes sure that the actual job distribution matches the relative merits, the political needs and the socio-economic characteristics of each ward.
This system is so organized that certain desks throughout City Hall are said to be “owned” by a given ward. Let’s say Johnny is a planner level two, a job he got through the 11th ward, and he wants a promotion to a recently vacated planner-three position. To obtain it he has to go through his ward committeeman, Richie Daley, the mayor’s son. If Johnny has been delivering his precinct, Richie will bargain with whomever “owns” the planning job, and he may be forced to trade a plumbing inspectorship to get it. Machine Machinations
This budget shortfall, is the lowest it's been in 5 years. Just getting it out to the public so we know why we're being bent over and told "This is only gonna hurt a little bit."
Was Trotter in 020last night?
Any info on upcoming detectives class?
S.O.S. guys:
If you look up in E-Track, I.A.D. inventoried 89,375.00 that was recovered from the locker of the one S.O.S. guy. Word was they were shaking down married guys picking up gay male and she-male hookers on the northside. Guess these married guys rather cough up a grand or two instead of the wifey-poo finding out they are paying to suck a dick. That's why they wre strip and sent to call back.
Bit off the subject. Does anyone else have blue cross and blue shield? It seems all year we could never quite pay down the deductible. Kids get sick, hurt playing sports whatever. The wife called today and we were told that begining this year instead of the deductible being $300.00 per family it was going to be $300.00 per member in that family. So my decuctible could be $1800.00 for the year. Is that right?
Mel Gibson reported said, If the Jews never killed Christ, he would of been killed anyhow by a tar baby doing a chariot drive by.
Re: BCBS PPO
Yes 100 percent right. They went up to 300 per person.
And the City (PPO) kicks back and refuses to pay any bill for services marked "Routine"
Many doctors bill services as routine even though they are medically needed. Make sure none of your bills are being kicked back as routine. I spent hours on the phone so far and have succesfully had over 4,000 dollars in bills now paid after they changed the billing code.
THIS CITY SUCKS!

YOU PAY FOR YOUR DUMB MISTAKES.
DIVORCE THE CHEATING WHORE AND SAVE A FEW BUCKS SO YOUR NOT WHINNING ON HERE LOSER! AND LET HER PAY FOR HER OWN HERPES MEDICINE.
Bobbie Steele was sworn in today! She will help clean up all short falls!
Health Insurance
I think this is one of the very few topics that we all, as PO's ,can agree on.
I know nothing about insurance at all other than the fact that it is becoming too expensive for all of us.
Can anyone find a cost comparison using 13000 members more or less with another carrier / carriers to show numbers to justify BC/BS?
It seems that someone could beat this scam. I do believe that this topic would galvanize all of us into one single voice for once.
When you read that a pill most of us use after the age of say 45 only cost 2-3 cents to produce and we end up paying 60 just for a copay something is very wrong.
I always have been a proponent of civil disobedience when it is necessary. Let the aldercams direct traffic in this heat to earn their 20,000 buck raises over four years.
Sorry for misprint.
"Alderscams"
The city increases our deductible, the FOP does nothing. The contract gives us an extra couple hundred bucks in duty availability or uniform checks, and we think this is a great deal, more drinking money or a check the "old lady" doesn't know about...the city gets it back from us 3 fold, not counting the increase in property taxes.
Keep filling this blog with useless crap, and thinking with your VERY small head, that's just what Richie is counting on.
Money in the hand and a kick in the arse...pleasse sir, may I have another?
The police dept. is medically self insured. All BCBS does is front the city employees our BSBC cards and then bills the City for allthey pay our plus a percentage.
None of us actually have BCBS PPO or HMO. If you went and purchased a regular BCBS PPO plan on your own you would actually have the coverage it provides. The police plan is completely controlled by the city in what limited things they pay for.
Its a big scambo. That's is why when you call BCBS to questioned items not paid or need an approval for a payment they refer you to the City's Benefit Management Office. They control the coverage. All BCBS does is allow the City to use the name and gets paid for it.
SCC-
The entrance exam you are referring to was in February not January. I am not aware of any "on-line" testing but the majority of applicants tested on a computer, which is a change
You are'nt asking the right questions. If the CPD's budget lists salaries for 13.500 officers and we are anywhere from 1000 to 2000 short of what is actually budgeted for then where is that money going?
Contracts for big Daley supporters.
I heard from an Area Gun Range guy that only about 8,000 sworn P.O.'s on the qualification list.
8,000. Thats right.
Where does the money for the other 5,500 go? Certainly not to the P.O.'s on the street.
Vote Republican and get these corrupt assholes out of office.
12 years today. yeah.
no time due? boo
Fuck the manpower shortage. Anyone who is still a D-1 at 20 years should be forced to retire. Clean the dead weight off the deck.
8/01/2006 12:02:50 AM
First we have to get rid of all th entitlement cry babies who came on from about 1990 on. Bunch of useless wannabes; wannabe paid, wanna be catered to, wannabe crybaby, wannabe clerks!
The only thing they are good for is complaining baout what others have or what they don't. Ask them to do something and you get answers like, its not my job, I don't do that, let someone else do it, etc. And this is no racial. The whites are just as bad as the Blacks. The men are as bad or worse than the woman.
Yeah, fie all of us with over twenty and you may as well durrender the city. Thsoe with less than twenty will surrender and ask for a desk job.

Stroger Jr. aided black separatists
August 1, 2006
BY STEVE PATTERSON Staff Reporter
Ald. Todd Stroger, the Democratic nominee for Cook County Board president, and the 8th Ward organization he represents have given almost $8,000 to a group that believes blacks should not be taxed and should not be involved in interracial relationships, and which supports the creation of a separate state for blacks.
Records show that since 2000, the Coalition for the Remembrance of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad (C.R.O.E.) has received $2,000 more from the campaign committee for Ald. Stroger's father, longtime county Board President John Stroger.
Found via campaign filings
The Nation of Islam splinter group calls for "former slave masters" to provide the land for a black state and 20 to 25 years of supplies for those living there, along with free schooling for black students, who should be taught only by other blacks, its Web site says.
A spokesman for Todd Stroger said he is a practicing Catholic who "does not adhere to" the group's beliefs. "The donation is a reflection of mutual respect," he said, "like so many in the African-American community."
The South Side group and its South Holland leader, Munir Muhammad, came under fire this year when critics blasted Gov. Blagojevich for issuing a proclamation honoring the group.
Muhammad, a fixture on cable public access stations, sits on the state Human Rights Commission and has sat on similar city and county boards.
Reached at his office, Muhammad said "I'm not familiar with" campaign donations to his group and hung up.
Some of the donations from the Strogers were disclosed in campaign filings Monday.
Daley, Houlihan have given
Ald. William Beavers, set to take John Stroger's county board seat, has given the group another $5,100 since 2000.
Others, including Mayor Daley, state Senate President Emil Jones, county Assessor James Houlihan, State's Attorney Richard Devine and interim County Board President Bobbie Steele have also given the group donations or purchased ads for its programs, records show.
To the young guy that wants 20 and out if you are D-1...
I just turned 55, I think I'll stay 'till 63 because I can.
I'll keep taking my 7A - 13B
furloughs because I can.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Hey 03:12:34
I'll bet your Old Lady that if you intend to stay until your 63 you will DIE long before you reach that gold. Take it NOW, fuck waiting around to die at an early age. I retired 6 1/2 years ago at 56 and I'm getting the City's money now I ran out of mine , I guess about 3 yreas ago. I tell everyone RETIRE early if you can. Start planing today even if your only 30. Start salting it away. You won't be sorry when the time comes. AMEN
I hope to God I don't have to go bail out 020 again tonight with this heat wave/power outage nonsense. What a cluster fuck of a district. It was the dumb leading the dumb. If anybody from area 3 has to go deal with this nonsense tonight, do yourself a favor and stay as far away from Sgt. Dickman as possible. It's hard to believe this goof has a badge, much less the chevrons to go with it. Some fuckin shine with a gold star showed up too. Him and his fat bitch P.O. driver sat in the car the whole time talking on their cell phones. And is the Commander in 020 a fucking lesbian, or what? I'm surprised she didn't show up in a softball uniform sporting a mullet cut.
All in all, what a cluster fuck!!
power outage west end of 022
To the old time loser who's 55 and gonna stay till he's 63 cuz he can:
You really haven't learned anything in all those years have you? Why are you still working at 55? Yeah stay till 63 so you can keep donating to my pension all the while lessening the years you cash those checks. I've said it before I'll say it again. 12 years on and at 50 I'll have 26. Then they'll start paying me and I'll look at my deferred comp account and go....niceeeeeee. Keep taking that 7a 13b, the pension fund appreciates it.

I got an idea why not retire and enjoy your life instead of living in this shit city, oh I remember cause this job is your life. I'll keep taking my 8A-12B and than retire with 20 on and get the fuck out of her as fast as I can because this is only a job to me and trust me Im not doing much for this city. So thanks for the paycheck.
bOUNDARIES ON THE POWER OUTAGE? ROUGH AREA?
The FOP is a bunch of phonies. You notice when they loose an election non of them ever go back to patrol. Once elected they are promised never to work a beat car again.
3:38 you're beautiful. my eyes watered with laughter. you missed your calling. should of been on the stage. and your honest.
I spoke with the 008th District tac guy with all the muscles and tattoos. He assured me that he will NEVER tell people he is a Marine. He feels terrible about all the problems it has caused for him. He really doesn't like all the attention given to him on this site!
Anyway, he has left his lies about being a decorated Marine behind him. I think he has learned avaluable lesson too. After talking with him I bought him and his tac buddies some cold ones at Groucho's. Everything is alright now.
Yes, I am a true Marine. Yes, it bothered me. Yes, I spoke with him about lying.
B.G. keep your word Brother! You know I will be listening...
4:31pm
Amen. "Semper Fidelis" my USMC Brother in Arms. Glad somebody took initative.
I hear Queer Eyes for the Straight Guy TV show will be five Marine next season. Nothing new, probably all met in boot(ie) camp.
The only reason a man becomes a Marine is a cover to hid his homosexuality.
Pretty much why guys join the Pipes and Drums club.
Ex-FOP guys never go back to patrol because they didn't come from there in the first place.
You idiots in patrol keep voting in FOP leaders from everywhere but the Patrol Division! Lets see. . .
John Dineen
Bill Nolan
Mark Donahue
Hmmm. . . all detectives!
Keep putting in Detective Division fools, long removed from a marked squad car, who have no clue what it's like to work in modern day Patrol. How do you expect them to represent your best intrests?
Here's a thought. . . Members of patrol should form a solid voting block behind an intelligent and well spoken Patrol Division member and vote them in as union president.
And no, I'm not an FOP member, I happen to be a Sergeant who is sick of getting the leftover crap that FOP negotiates.
Sergeant's list just came out.
Good luck and dont be a jag-off boss for all those who got promoted.
Dont forget your blue shirt roots.
schicklegroover:
What you have found is correct but that was the provision when def comp started in 1982.
Present rules are the employer must state a reason why any deferred amount takes longer than 3-5 days and like I said some departments Naperville PD post the deferrals the same day as payday.
The union refuses to force the city to show why it takes more than 14 days to post your deferral...maybe the city has a reason...I doubt it
the city does it because they can; like they do all the time but if challenged they have been known to back down and with the money at stake with deferred comp ( the city of Chicago ranks 5th in the nation as the largest funded program) I think the just the hint of a challenge will force a change...my gievance attempted to force FOP to make the city show WHY! and they won't even do that.
I have the info and will post as soon as I can the reference material. When I submitted the grievance I attached this same documentation.

Okay, we will fie you and durrender the city.
Who says I'm a new guy? I'm just tired of all the dead weight. I'll have 17 years next month. I'll have 24 years at 50 and I'll take my Deferred Comp, my military pension (55) & my D-3 pension and get the fuck out of this town. I don't want to turn into some old fuck drooling (or drooling all the time) over a 13B furlough at 63.
12;02: Just another 5YR Jagoff with no real Idea how to be the police or howthe Job works
Marines aren't all short dumbass. I'm 6'1 and I am a USMC with 10 years. Besides that, I'm an Infantry machine gunner. Don't try to say that all Marines are short! We have height and weight standards too-just like the Army.
Furthermore, if you check out the Marines that guard the tomb of the unknown soldier, then you will notice every one of the detail are 6'0 or over. Get over yourself Army shithead!
Lastly, to answer your question: broads.
The four month temporary term of Acting Cook County Board Pres. Bobbie Steele got off to a running start. She fired James Whigham and Jerry Robinson, the embattled political hack running the Juvenile Detention Center.
County Comm. Mike Quigley made a gross understatement when he remarked that Robinson was just a "mope" who was "told what to do."
Both Whigham and Robinson retired from the CPD as Deputy Superintendents and proteges of John Stroger.
God help us.
Come November, our only option is to vote for Tony Peraica.
OLE !! Here's how the job works. 1) you come on thinking it's all for real and you work your ass off. 2) you're in a district, no time due, CAPS meetings, CR numbers, maybe a suspension or two. 3) You get time on the job and realize almost all your bosses are made meritoriously and are asking you most of the time what should be done (duh). 4) You learn how to make the job smooth and easy, when they fuck with you, you hit the medical. 5) You begin to file greivences and develope a drinking problem. 6) Everyone in life is a jagoff except for you and your partner. 7) You wish yourself old so you can retire. That's it in a nutshell. NOW please go fuck yourself, you fuckin' fucks !!
The new Commander of the Traffic Division in a large midwestern police department has advised me that if you ever get pulled over for DUI, refuse the breathalyzer.
He added that in the event of an urban terrorist attack, run for your lives.
Look around at how many immigrants who are not even citizens are on this job (many are very good police officers, but they aren't citizens, it's not a requirment). That should tell you something about how hard it is for the city to find new recruits. They can't even find citizens of the United States to do the job much of the time. What a joke.

I am in excellent health, love the job, and enjoy the people I work with.
I work the street and still lock up the mutts that beg to be locked up.
By the way Mr. 12 years, if you think the pension system will be the same when you hit 50 you have your head in the sand. You'll be lucky if your defered isn't grabbed due to poor city management. All that it takes for the city to grab the defered is a change in stae law. If you think it can't happen look at United airlines. Same for the pension. Maria Santos saved it once so don't think someone else won't try again.
When the crapola starts I pull the pin, cash-out defered and blow town.
Because I can.
Furthermore, if you check out the Marines that guard the tomb of the unknown soldier, then you will notice every one of the detail are 6'0 or over. Get over yourself Army shithead!
Lastly, to answer your question: broads.
8/01/2006 06:37:40 PM
Homie,you are not and never were a MARINE!I was ,and if you were, you would know that the tomb of the UNKOWN soldier has always been gaurded by the ARMY!!!!
BUSTED!!!!!
Assuming they list everyone, go to personel reports on the CPD intranet. You can click on a link for seniority. Most people just check their seniority for the district. Check the seniority for the entire city, instead of putting a unit number, put an asterisk *. You will pull the entire list of CPD there. The number was roughly over 9000. That was only for patrol officers, not bosses.
If they take my deferred comp I take their life.
Off topic comment - I was just watching an interview with Phat Phil on the Munir Muhammad Show. When Munir asked Phat Phil how many LODD there had been in the past ten years in Chicago, the moron didn't even know. His reply was somewhere around 10.
WRONG!
Not even close.
From PO Dell Fountain EOW Saturday, March 23, 1996 to
PO Eric Solorio EOW Sunday, February 12, 2006 there have been 17 LODD.
I’m quite sure Phat Phil was aware of the questions that were going to be asked on the show ahead of time, at the very least, as the top dog of the dept. know exactly how many LODD’s there have been in the past 10 years.
Ladies and Gentleman, this is our fine upstanding boss who couldn’t even take the few minutes to find out.
Infuriated!!
Anyone on the job have one of these?
WASHINGTON - Undercover investigators entered the United States using fake documents repeatedly this year — including some cases in which Homeland Security Department agents didn't ask for identification.
At nine border crossings on the Mexico and Canadian borders, agents "never questioned the authenticity of the counterfeit documents," according to Government Accountability Office testimony to be released Wednesday.
"This vulnerability potentially allows terrorists or others involved in criminal activity to pass freely into the United States from Canada or Mexico with little or no chance of being detected," concluded the GAO, the investigative arm of Congress, in testimony obtained Tuesday by The Associated Press.
Watch out guys. Don't count on that pension too much. U think the city just FORGOT to pay in their portion? Did it fall short because they REALLY believed equities could magically keep performing at record rates? Anyone see the pension "reform" bill passed in House of Reps. yesterday? Read it. Its on its way to Senate and then your paycheck. Then tell me if the reform helps you or just makes pension providers (employer-city of Chicago in our case)less accountable to you and I.
IF (BIG IF) our pensions are intact at retirement do you think it will be enough to cover your bills and pay your own healtchare premiums/deductible for your family? What year is it that the city stops paying our premiums?
I won't criticize the Marines or the Army. They both rock, and the kids serving today are my heroes just as much as the kids serving in the past.
That said, the above poster is right about who guards the Tomb of the Unknown. It is a ceremonial unit of the U.S. Army. They do tend to be tall for some reason.
As an aside, one of the many benefits of Virginia is that you get to pay homage as often as you like to those who gave everything for their country. Arlington Nat'l, Manassas, Fredricksburg, Yorktown, history everywhere. State highway #29 is adorned with honorary signs for the 29th Infantry Division. Google the 116th Infantry Regiment of the 29th Infantry Division. National Guard... mostly Virginians on D-Day, first ashore on the ground at Omaha Beach on D-Day and highest casualties of any unit of that size. Boys here are raised to be men.
1-3 hour drives to Antietam or Gettysburg. At Gettysburg Lee sent Pickett and his Virgnians across the last mile and cried as he watched fewer than half stumble back. Again, boys here are raised to be men.
Yes, the guardians of the Tomb of the Unknown are Army soldiers, not Marines.
City stops paying into Healtchare Year 2013 or 2014 I think the letter said. I got it here somewhere.
FOP just has to be addressing this, right? Please. say its so.
we did it to ourselves we dont stick together. If I get fucked out of anything I guarentee you this....I will get every last one of them that did this to us as well as their families.
Every day I wake up, smile expressively and thank God I am a Marine!
There is no better feeling in the entire planet than graduating Marine Corps Boot Camp.
You want to feel a surge of empowerment and vitality? Become a Marine.
Don't just go throuh the motions of becoming one-throw your heart and soul into the rite of passage.
Marines are few. We only want the best!
Being like me takes determination and skill. I am a Marine.
Semper Fi "Do or Die"
Hey Marine, you really need to get out more. How about a hobby? Geesh!!!
If you wake up in the morning and smile because you USED to be a Marine. Then you are a SICKO and have an IQ below 60.
SEMPER FI > EAT THE APPLE FUCK THE CORE !!!!!!!!
9:21
Graduating Boot Camp is a surge of empowerment? Man, who brainwashed you jarhead? You need to get laid or something? Let Sally Rottencrotch make you a man. Wow! The Marines really know how to screw with a guy's head. You actually thank God you are a Marine. What a loser!!!
If you think completing Boot Camp makes you a man, then you are a total pussy!
Few the Proud my ass!!!
Keep cheering the slogan-you sound like a pussy cheerleader dork!!!
Suck ass leatherneck!!!

Have you ever tried to fuck an apple core? If not, quit saying fuck the core. It's Corps shitbird! This Marine could definitely kick your lily living Army ass!!!

SCC,
Thank You for deleting the nonsense!!!
The blog is a lot more interesting with out it.
Now if everyone can play nice.
We don't have to agree with each other. How about showing each other some respect.
7 months on or 35 years on, if you need help when the $%^& hits the fan do you really care who shows up?
If we want to be paid like profesionals, then maybe we should actually be profesional.
Come contract time everyone will be crying that the city is sticking it to us. Well with the crap that has in some cases been posted on this blog, do you think we will get support from the public? Neither do I.
I know the public doesn't support us but we don't want them giving input to the city that we are a bunc of nit wits.
So, let's exchange ideas, call out the departmental crap and keep the silly crap off the site.
That's my two cents.
Remember, the best part of the day is going home.
Stay Safe!
I KNOW IT's CORPS.
STUPID. IT's just a figure of speech. Now I know that your IQ is under 60. FUCKWAD !!!!!!!!!!
So much for respect.
You fucken marines watch to many John Wayne movies. Just don't forget, the MOST DECORATED serviceman was AUDY MURPHY. He had more fucken medals then an entire Marine corp Brigade. So SUCK on that you fucken jerkoff GRUNTS !!!
and while your at it
EAT THE APPLE AND FUCK THE "CORE"
Marines are the first to fight and the last to leave. You sound jealous Army boy. What's the matter? Can't handle the guilt that you were too much of a fuckin' pussy to go to Marine Boot Camp?!
We all know you Army pussies couldn't handle our p.t. program. You wish you had a big dick like mine, so you could be a Marine. Everyone knows that Marines have the largest balls.
Give it up cocksucker! You haven't got a chance in the world at being a REAL grunt. Marines are #1!!!!!
Not a USMC or US Army blog boys.
Now lets all talk about the Merchant Marines, they are REAL men!!
Men become Marines because they desire to be real badasses. When aman becomes a Marine he is instantly changed into a bad mutha. That ain't no lie! We are the toughest and most disciplined in all the service.
We are the best of the best. When it comes to combat, there ain't a deadlier force to be reckoned with. Every man wishes he could be a Marine. It's a deep-down wish to be the most kick ass troop in the world. That is what a Marine means.
Nobody fights harder or with more determination than a Marine infantryman. You can keep your Green Berets and Navy Seals. We are the best!
I too, wake up every morning and thank God I am a Marine. God blessed me back in 1989. He allowed me to become a proud jarhead.
You Army pussies will never understand what it means to fight with honor. Marines are the epitome of fighters.
Semper Fidelis to all you studs out there in CPD...You will always be the best...IF you were a Marine!!!
Is this the same jarhead who thought his 5'6" kindred spirits were guarding the Tomb of the Unknowns? You're really on top of things. My old partner had done some time in the midget corps. One night when we were driving around he asked me what a Silver Star was. I told him he was wearing one on his shirt. He looked so confused I actually felt sorry for him. I have a challange for any ex-jarheads who post here: count to 3 without using any fingers.
Anyone has info on an incident where a child was struck around Division/Grand area in 011 or 025 where a mob of animals beat one of the occupants nearly to death.
No media,no community outcry,and no hate crime. Would of loved to see the outcome if the tables were reversed.God I hate this City!!!!
I did not serve in the armed forces.
I would like to think that only a couple of non-police morons are engaged in this pissing contest about our respected and respective branches of the military.
Also note that Audie Murphy, the Congressional Medal of Honor recipient and the most decorated member of the armed forces ever stood a mere 5'4" tall. So what?
God bless the Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard!
The best known fighter on the planet is what is known as a UDT Frogman aka Navy Seal.
There is none better than a swift killer such as a Seal.
Marines will never know the ferocity of being a true predator. For search and destroy missions the military calls upon CENTCOM or what is known as the military's finest...
Navy Seals are the answer.
Sorry jarhead!!!!!!!!!!!
This just turned into a Navy Seal blog...as it should be!!!!
I am proud to call myself a Marine. I was lucky enough to have parents who were circus midgets. I easily made it under the maximum height of 5'6". High school was tough. Everyone called me SPED, short for special ed. I knew one day I would show them. I joined the wrestling team to learn martial combat. Sometimes during a rear naked choke hold my member would become engorged and I would feel queezy. But that's another story. I moved on to the Corps. I knew that was where I could become a man. In Boot Camp I was the master towel snapper. Nothing puts a shiny rose on ungulating buttocks like a fast wet towel. My reward was guidon bearer at graduation. Just knowing all those hard muscular motivated men were marching behind me really made me understand what it meant to be a Marine. I was now a tool of death; a lethal fighting force of one, a Marine infantryman. Of course I wasn't really an infantryman. I was a truck driver in the Reserves. I ducked out on my commitment as soon as possible with bullshit family problems and went into the IRR. Then I came on the CPD and constantly regaled my co-workers with stories of my trips to the exotic land of Ft. McCoy, Wisconsin where I regularly performed secret missions against a classified enemy (when I wasn't training Navy SEALS). Like 90% of my Marine brothers on the CPD I was just some reserve puke who rattles on endlessly about imaginary glory. Because when you hump everyday for years on end, the shit just sucks. But hey, I can look most men dead in chest and say, "I am a Marine!" That's all I really wanted in the first place. An identity to make me feel like a man.
I'm 6'00, but you guys should knock it off about the height thing. Army Ranger school is the toughest school to get through statistically. Navy SEALs have a higher-than-average failure rate there.
And the average graduate IS of below-average height (among the military generally, and among those who enter the school). Something like 5'8 or 5'9.
I honor all those in the military, and I don't mind digs at any racial or ethnic group (including any of my 20), but the height thing is just silly.
They call Central Command? Another goof. How was life as a Bosun's Mate? All though I'm sure you were SEAL when you tell stories.
Any copper who thinks he/she's better because they work in this district, that district, this unit, that unit.......is a prima donna. And all prima donnas can go fuck themselves!

FUCKING AWESOME!
I haven't met a military veteran yet who was worth his salt in CPD. These no-nothing combat vets need to stay in Iraq, because all they are doing is taking up space.
CPD should quit hiring these guys. All they do is create problems for those of us who have never left the district for overseas deployments.
They all have an arrogance about them which is dillusional at best. I don't think they are very good coppers either.
I hope that when the Iraq war ends we don't hire any of these so-called veterans! CPD should stick to hiring college educated people only.
That is my two cents.

because of that dumb fuck Clinton

ya! and it has NOTHING to do about the illegal/ immoral war that Bush II lied us into.
The recruiting numbers are not in the hole because of what Clinton did 6 years ago.
Face it NO one likes Bush II, atleast they won't die for him.
I am so proud that the city of Chicago takes care of its city workers so well. Pages and pages of drug arrests and now they are our nieghbors. Glad to see that my $1000.00 dollar a year tax increase will make it so much more better in my nieghborhood for the drug dealing section 8 hard working citizen. Keep your kids close by and maintain a watchfull eye.
Anyone else want to LIFT THE RESIDENCY RULE yet??
To 11:19 Let me know when you have the balls to serve your country. You have no fuckin clue what it's like over there, so until you do shut your pussy ass mouth up. Douchebag.
These piss poor ass copper will try to do anything, to make themselves feel like some kind of hero. I'm a Marine, I'm a seal, I'm this, I'm that.....you're not even a fucking civil servant. Get a fucking life!
Don't like living here, Quit,,,move!
going to be $300.00 per member in that family. So my decuctible could be $1800.00 for the year. Is that right?
Dont worry, if the Shity and the $$$$$$$ corporations have it their way, you'll get to pay it all.....or little Timmy could just walk it off!
"CPD should stick to hiring college educated people only."
Why the hell would college educated individuals want to spend $ to get a college education and want to become a cop??????????
HELL NO

I have 5 years on now. Came on at 25 years old.
20 years from now the Shity will long since wiped out Retiree health care. I will *have* to work til I'm 63, just to hope there will be a Medicare two years after that.
But then again I'm sure there will be no pension waiting for me 20 fvcking years from now.....

***************** I never finished college but I know when I'm getting Screwed and the City of Chicago is screwing all of us. I am offering to become the next FOP president for us with no pay increase and anyone who would join me would do the same. This would show that we are not in it for ourselves or the extra $$$. I am single so I would have a lot of time to look into how we the police could have it better at work and at home. The guys in charge of our union are corrupt! They make $100,000-150,000 a year for what?? I would along with any lawyers or accountanta who would join me look ti make it easier on us. More money$$, live outside the city, better work schedule kind of like the Fire Dept where you can trade days with any other P.O. Someone on another blog had the right idea , we need to come together to be strong and get what we want. If a cop doing his/her job is being sued or taking 30 days we get together in front of city hall and make the news so everyone hears what we have to say. They do it in New York and they are very effective! If someone better educated than I wants the spot no problem but you should never make more moneyc or take whatever you are making at that point and add 2 or 3% not DOUBLE like they do it now.... Mr. Cop
A man escapes from prison where he has been for 15 years. He breaks into a house to look for money and guns and finds a young couple in bed.
He orders the guy out of bed and ties him to a chair, while tying the girl to the bed he gets on top of her, kisses her neck, then gets up and goes into the bathroom. While he's in there, the husband tells his wife:
"Listen, this guy's an escaped convict, look at his clothes! He probably spent lots of time in jail and hasn't seen a woman in years. I saw how he kissed your neck." If he wants sex, don't resist, don't complain, do whatever he tells you. Satisfy him no matter how much he nauseates you. This guy is probably very dangerous. If he gets angry, he'll kill us. Be strong, honey. I love you."
To which his wife responds: "He wasn't kissing my neck. He wwas whispering in my ear. He told me he was gay, thought you were cute, and asked me if we had any vaseline. I told him it was in the bathroom. Be strong honey. I love you too!!"
Wow! I thought this blog was mindless and after reading some of the troll postings about servicemen-I KNOW it is!
You guys really take the cake. I'll bet your asses are really sore from all the asskickings you took as a child from other kids?
Oh well, this Marine is proud of his service and proud to be a cop. Love it or leave it I always say. For sure.
010 copper
What can I say? Marines will always be criticized because they are the best. Seals, Green Berets, Rangers and Airforce Commandos just don't have what it takes to become Marines. Our training is just too tough for the average man. It's the way of life for Marines. Deep down inside they all wish they could be like us.
Life is funny that way. God expected perfection when he made the Marine and it was so.
First to fight and last to leave...The Marine is the ultimate warrior. OOOOOOOH RAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!

HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO What's up with SOS PO's and LT? Anyone got the scoop?
I respect that you successfully completed your Boot Camp. I do. For that I commend you. However, son, you really have NO concept of the type of training that Navy Seals and Special Forces individuals endure? If you did, then you wouldn't be sounding off like a jackass!

You got that right! Don't know why any man would willingly go through that hell? Seals--They all must be "wired" differently...hahahahaha
Marines are the toughest. There is no comparison. Sorry.
Hey asshole-do you think George Bush was the only president to ever lie?!
You're ALL wrong! SWAT is the toughest. We have had extensive training in all weapons and tactics. We are the best that CPD has to offer. The Special Ops military even thought we were awesome in our Stateside training. You should have seen us in New Orleans too. We only take the best from CPD.
If we didn't select you, then you are NOT the best. Truth hurts doesn't it?
Pop another beer and tell someone else your war stories SOS pussy!
SWAT ain't shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!!!!
People puuuuuuulllllllease show some respect for your fellow officers. You ALL work very hard to make CPD the best Dept in the nation. My hat goes off to every one of you. You do the job none of us want. Give each other respect. You ALL earned it. I am proud of you.
Finally...a person that gets it!
SEALS? You mean those cute little buggers darting through the glass sided tank at Lincoln Park Zoo that constantly regurgiate marshmallows thrown to them by Marine's who beleive they're watching Las Vegas showgirls? "Gee, I've been up here at Ft. McCoy so long I plumb forgot what a purdy girl looks like!"
Anybody who has ever been in the service knows the detail at Arlington is done by the United States Army. Used to be only 11Bravos, infantryman, in the unit but I think that has changd now. Of course what do I know I read the posts under different headings here and I actually saw people make fun of and be disrespectful towards Vietnam vets. Well I'm pround of where I've been and what I did and I will never forget my friends all 58,000 of them who died in that war. Just an old 11Bravo who did what he was asked to do.
I haven't met a military veteran yet who was worth his salt in CPD. These no-nothing combat vets need to stay in Iraq, because all they are doing is taking up space.
CPD should quit hiring these guys. All they do is create problems for those of us who have never left the district for overseas deployments.

I'm a 4th district copper! I'm also a veteran! I think I'm worth my salt. I do know for sure that the other vets definately are worth their weight in salt! I would be amazed if you were man enough to tell the handful of veterans that served in the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines, that they arent worth their weight in salt.
And thats my two cents ....
God loves you guys! All of us do. You make America survive. Please don't let these whiney ass "rookies" ruffle your feathers! Veterans are the true reason behind America. If you love your feedom, thank a vet. Never forget those that have fallen.
004th District
If you love your freedom, then you should thank a veteran. Veterans are the reason why America thrives to this day!
If it weren't for these brave souls fighting the enemy we would have total anarchy.
Just remember it's the soldier who fights on the ground who gives you your Freedom of Speech, etc.
Think about that the next time you begin to write something negative against a veteran police officer.

Brother, forget salt...You are worth your weight in GOLD baby!!! All who fought overseas against the enemy are. Some coppers have their heads in the sand, but those of us who understand-thank you for your sacrifice! I'm glad you went over so my family could be safe.
As a supervisor, I can only say that I have personally witnessed the amazing drive within in our district's veterans. These guys will try to move mountains if you ask them. They don't bitch or moan about the assignments given and they have a high espirit de corps.
Whoever says that veterans are a waste of space surely is a dog-ass. That is my two cents. Let the flaming begin...
