No Indication of Terrorism?
If this isn't the most stupid statement to come out of the FBI in recent memory, we don't know what is. When a plane crashes into a building nowadays, you don't go around denying it had anything to do with terrorism, even if the weather reports might indicate a light haze over New York City. Because god forbid one or two of the people on board have muslim surnames or were recent converts to islam or any other of a dozen possible scenarios.How about you conduct an investigation before you run to the press?
Coverage at Breitbart. com and Drudge.
UPDATE: Information is coming out about the plane being owned by a New York Yankee pitcher who may have been at the controls. As to Lefty's assertion that we are jumping to conclusions, we are the ones urging the Feebs and National Security agencies NOT to be so quick to discount any and all possibilities. After all, we have the feds to thank for these statements of recent history:
- "There's no reason to believe this was terrorism" - LAX shooting
- "There's no reason to believe this was terrorism" - Seattle shooting
- "There's no reason to believe this was terrorism" - SF car rampage

Off Topic Sorry
Dear 18th District copper who was written a ticket on his way to work today in full uniform We are sorry it happened. He does not represent the district. He is an asshole! Hope you can pay him back somehow. Don't forget he is on midnights not second watch
Well, it appears now that the plane was piloted by Cory Lidle, pitcher for the NY Yankees! They've found his passport on the street below, as well as the plane being registered (or about to be) in his name. There's also supposed to be 4 dead, and 9 injured - including 4 firefighters, all at the hospital.
So while it appears no terrorism action here, just possible pilot error, still an awful tragedy!! This was being reported at about 1600 hrs. our time...
What were the exempt moves today? I heard Radtke got moved.
In reference to Off Topic, 10/11/2006 03:55:51 PM.
It is a sad day when we as P.O.'s have to ticket are fellow officers.This just shows us how F#$*ed up this department has become. When I started 25 years ago this officer never would have been allowed to pull this S#@t with out his peers putting a stop to it. But again this officer stopped the P.O. because he/she didn't have the balls to stop the car full of bangers. I can't wait for the next four years to pass and get the hell out.
Neither was Foley. That's why there isn't a criminal investigation.
At least Foley resigned as soon as it became apparent that he had acted improperly. Do you really want us to start listing Democratic improprieties with Congressional pages, both male and female and the number of times they ended up re-elected to Congress? We don't think you do.
And how about this blockbuster from the Washington Post?
But there are indications that Democrats spent months circulating five less insidious Foley e-mails to news organizations before they were finally published by ABC News late last month, which prompted the leaking of the more salacious instant messages. Harper's Magazine said yesterday that it obtained the five e-mails from a Democratic Party operative, albeit in May, long before the election season.
Gee, we guess the democrats weren't that concerned about Foley's exploitation of minor children if they managed to sit on it for 5 months in order to spring it as their own version of an "October Surprise," eh?
Foley didn't have sex with anyone and lie under oath. Foley didn't assign his gay lover to be the number 3 top spot in New Jersey government. Foley wasn't having a long term relationship with a bi-sexual prostitute. He is a closeted gay (a la Guitierrez) and sent innapropriate messages to pages. Then he quit. End of story. He was wrong. Now he's gone. The only story here is how you're grasping at a non-issue lefty.
Communicating with a minor is illegal now? We must have missed that law class. Why isn't there a criminal investigation then Sherlock Holmes? Because - DUH! - there was no crime? Maybe?
What Foley did was wrong and improper - there - are you glad we said it? Did it rise to the level of criminal conduct? Apparently not. Foley resigned regardless as well he should have. But the left playing political football with a story THAT THEY KNEW ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO would seem closer to crass political opportunism, wouldn't it? And then the democrats threatening to out all the gay republicans they can find on Capitol Hill? I thought you people were supposed to be the tolerant ones who didn't judge people by their lifestyle choices - oh, unless they happen to be gay republican's we guess?
Hypocrite.
And minors are under 17 Lefty. Which you might know if you actually arrested anyone. We house people 17 and over in County, don't we?
Geez, are you taking dumb pills tonight or what?
RADKE should be moved....in front of the Grand Jury for the SH*T he covered up for years in SOS.
To the copper in 016 who wrote another chicago cop a ticket:
You go to an accident and one driver is a Chicago Police officer and the other driver is JUST a wife of a Cook County Officer What do you do?? This guy decide it is best to write the Chicago cop. Explain to us why you would write a ticket. Yes the accident was his fault and he didn't deny it. Hence that is way it is an accident. Then you tell him that "the yellow copy is the same as your drivers license" No shit! The worst part is this: It was the coppers b-day. We give shitheads breaks all of the time but yet we can't give one of our own a break! Be careful very very careful out there-YOU MORON!
Please post the 018th Dist. coppers name. I know we have all agreed to the moderated comments, but come on. I work in 016 and I assure you I will extend the same f%%%ing courtesy that this f%%%head did. Not only to him, but to include his family members and his dog! If that is not possible, we need the copper who was written to immediatley put something out. I have been called names, etc., but I have never written a copper. I don't write fireman, as a matter of fact, I don't write city workers. I actually have the spine to write shitheads, something I am sure this coward would never do. And guess what, I am a female policeman, yes, that is what my real star said, policeman. POST IT SCC, LET HIM TAKE HIS MEDICINE. YOU ARE WITH US OR AGAINST US!
Thank you!

And were it an uninsured gangbanger this is the same cop that would have let him drive away because he's a wuss.
Is it the white softball or the black softball in 016 on midnights. Come on Captain, take them off their car. We'll make up the movers for ya, we promise. Tell us what ya need.
C'mon, SCC, admit it:
You...fucked...up.
You found a good picture for your weblog, wanted to use it so bad, so you jumped to the only conclusion you could, without waiting five minutes to find out the terrorist you were afraid of was...A NEW YORK YANKEE!! (And BTW, who would have thunk THEY'D be out of the playoffs so soon? If only they'd won, he'd be alive today.) Anyway....
But a Florida Republican, who Dennis Hastert knew liked the children a little bit too much,....
Well, in all fairnes, we have to wait for an investigation. ... don't want to prejudge... hey the Democrats did it at some time in the past... although they paid for it and it's long done... OH LOOK!! THERE'S BILL CLINTON!! AHHHHHHHH!! HILLARY TOO!!! BE AFRAID BE VERY AFRAID!!!! SCARY!!!! ahhhhhhh!h!!!!!!!!!!
Hypocrite.
HOLY STUPIDITY BATMAN: Apparently Left is the Best is unaware that 16 is the legal age in D.C.
i was the one written the mover from the 16th district this morning. bt 1612. bt off po kranz and bt off pennie. a minor traffic accident. these two fools wrote me because the husband of the woman i was in a accident with was with cook county. these two cowards didnt know how to handle a forth party. kranz i guess is finished rolling the polish on belmont and now is back on the street with a star. both fools. i am in the 19th district and in uniform on my way to navy pier. kranz then proceceeds to tell me when i ask for my d.l. back to go to the dmv and tell them i lost it. im jenkins 019th
Why would we admit something that didn't happen the way you say it did? Where did we "fuck up?"
We said the Feebs and the National Security people shouldn't rule out anything simply based on their say so. You know, like without some sort of investigation? As the information became public, we UPDATED the site. You know, like real journalists might?
The picture was what was available at the time - big freaking deal. It draws traffic.
Now we're going to play "What did Hastert know and when did he know it?" Better look in the mirror. Read the Washington post article - dems know about it long before Hastert did and sat on it until a politically opportune time. And it's looking more and more like your side overplayed it and is losing traction.
And now you leftists are claiming if it happened in the past, we should all just forget about it and "move on?" Like the non existant TexANG story? The alleged drinking and coke use? Just about every other imagined and trumped up story you people drag out every single election in a feeble attempt to cover for the fact that your party is bereft of ideas and morally bankrupt?
Funny how you always want to play by one set of rules until they get used against you, then you run around crying that the rules are unfair and ought to be changed. Go play in traffic moonbat.
Hey Jenkins 019
Yeah, its bogus you got ticketed. But tell us, how does your watch handle the way Walters treats the Police and their families?
Oh, that's right. Newt "I served my wife the divorce papers while she laid in the hospital bed with cancer" Gingrich told us the other day that the Democrats had it three years ago and were just waiting to use it at the right time. Hey, 2004 (only TWO years ago for you math geniuses) would have been the PERFECT time to use it.
But then again, I'm not a member of an organized political party, I'm a Democrat.
(for bonus points, who said it first?)
Hey TJ 019, why not name the other jagoff from county who cowered JK into giving you a mover. Sounds like his supervisors ought to know that this fool is using his office to influence the outcome of an official police invesigation. If Scc don't agree then file a complaint with county.
"Funny how you always want to play by one set of rules until they get used against you, then you run around crying that the rules are unfair and ought to be changed."
Yeah, like that little rule that you don't hit on children. Like the rule that you don't take advantage of those you are in a position of power over. Like the rule where you don't get drunk and go over to the little boys dormitory to see if you can get a little "sumpim-sumpim". Or the rule that if you let the bad guy keeping doing bad things even though you can stop him, you lose your job? (oh, wait, that's one of OUR rules, Congressmen just take contributions from the guy and let him walk away....sorry).
"The alleged drinking and coke use? "
No, that would be "drinking RUM and coke" a little bit too much, Mr. President.

The new Speaker of the House: Nancy Pelosi with the next President of the United States......Hillary Rodham Clinton!!!!!!
O.K., I was just f##@ing with you on that one. But I know your heart just skipped a beat reading it. BWAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAAHH!!!!!!!!!!
To the two bt. off's in 016, you should be ashamed, when you two a@#bags are getting your asses beat on a bad traffic stop, it isn't the wife who is going to stop to help. Oh, I forgot, you'll never be in that position because you're to much of a pu$$y to stop a car like that. Why give anyboby a ticket anyway, I know you didn't see it, you were to busy butt-slamming each other at the time. To all the good coppers in 016, these guys give you all a bad name and it's time to do something about it. To Bt. off's 1612, please try to give me a ticket, I'll be more than happy to take a couple of days for telling you to go F@#$ yourselves
It sounds like two 016th district coppers need to be bitch-slapped! Who the hell writes another P.O. a mover???
Kranz and Pennie...assuming you weren't parked, watching the accident, and caught on tape doing so, you screwed up. If you didn't see it, you don't have to write it. Want to do the right thing? Make the copper's car unit 1. That's it. You both should know better and share equal blame. And as for the "tell the dmv you lost it" and "use the yellow copy as your dl" way to add insult to injury. There's 2 sides to every story, but justifying any of this would be a stretch.
Since when do you write tickets on crashes you didn't witness? They both had DL's and Insurance! It’s only a 99A. Your not even required by department policy to issue tickets on 99A's if you didn't witness it. If both parties are civil and all their paper work is in order, I give the choice to unit #2 if tickets are written. I explain to them that they must appear in court to testify and any fines imposed doesn't even go to them or help fix the car, its money for the city! Most people are just worried about getting their car fixed and that’s a civil matter. Any 1 year p.o. would know that. The judges announce it at the beginning of traffic court everyday. So this copper is either a scared little girl that’s afraid to make any kind of decision because he doesn’t want to get jammed up, or questioned about how he handled the accident or just has no clue how to be the police. He needs to be retrained or fired. Either way he is an idiot and should be closely watched by bosses.
No terrorists, you say!!! BULLSHIT. That's all the Yankees are. Osama bin steinbrenner spends hundreds of millions of dollars in the false hope that he my rule the (baseball) world.
EAMUS CATULI - AC036198
The GOP are the MASTERS of mudslinging and negative innuendos for years the Democrats sat there and took it crying "no fair!" The only Democrat to fight fire with fire was Clinton. When the GOP couldn't find any mud to sling with whitewater or challenge him on the issues,they attacked him personally. If the worst thing someone could say about a person is that they lied about a extramarital affair instead of lying about a rason to go to war I think I know who history will judge more harshly. The GOP started this devisive mudsliging and now they want to cry "no fair" when the Dems use the same tactics? Give me a break!!
hey lefty...can't you do something useful and throw yourself into oncoming traffic, preferably in front of a CTA bus??
for God's sake, this post had shit to do with Foley, a tragic accident happened, keep your eye on the ball tree hugger..give Cindy Sheehan a kiss for me
Although not a Democrat, I have to admit the truth of the saying of a famous retired saloon keeper:
"A blowjob is better than a snowjob!"
Just goes to show how this department has changed. Not only are the bosses scared so are the actual coppers. Grow a Pair of balls and DO THE RIGHT THING. PROTECT YOUR OWN at ALL COSTS. People with a different attitude I hope for everyone's sake never make DET. If they do you better hope that they never handle one of your shootings. GOD HELP US if they do.
HHmm, "tell DMV you lost it".
Is this told in rollcall? Just had a TEACHER friend get a ticket and was told the same thing. Funny thing is she told them her husband works in streets and sans and they didnt care. And one more thing they never got out of the car. Thats your beat officers protecting our houses and family in the 10 sector..not

Leftisthebest is a beatoff that has too much time on his hands.
A NOTE TO ALL:
Please understand that these two knuckleheads from 016, 1st watch are just that...knuckleheads. I usually don't condone bumrapping another officer, but in this case, fire away!
Once again, the rest of us who came to 016 after working for years in a fast district are totally embarrassed by this incident.
To all the good cops in 016, it's time for a good old G.I. shower party and the two knuckle heads are the guests of honor.
I work with Tom. I just want him to know that I respect the way he handles the adversity in his life, of which he gets a double helping.
To the softballs on 1612 midnights: you aren't Coppers you are strokes with badges. What goes around comes around.
Trees are the answer
Hey Lefty,
It's like this, Foley was undergoing his initiation into the Democratic Party. Once he got that little boy in the sack he would become a full fledged Democrat and would have the honor of being sworn in by Barney Frank with a hardy handshake from Bill Clinton.
From notsolefty
WE ALL HAVE NOT WRITTEN TICKETS TO REGULAR CITIZEN'S WHO HAVE BEEN IN ACCIDENTS WHEN WE DIDNT WITNESS THE ACTUAL ACCIDENT. THERE IS NOTHING IN THE G.O.'S THAT TELL US WE HAVE TO WRITE ANYONE A TICKET!!! DO THESE GUYS HAVE ANY COMMON SENSE? WHAT A SHAME, GIVING 016 A BAD NAME AGAIN...PLEASE EXCUSE THESE TWO EVERYONE...THERE ARE MOST OF US IN 16 WHO DO KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING.

You sound like a good little democratic precint captain. Now go along and put up your signs and your alderperson will make you a nice little sergeant. Dumb as a box of rocks but a good little sergeant. Rah, rah for the political cause, asshole.
I have worked 1612 before,and I hate him. I am not even talking to him. In fact I just wrote him a ticket. I told him to drive on his yellow copy. He then proceeded to call his side piece of p.o. ass, who then called me and pleaded his case like his mommy would. When I told her to back her drunken ass up, she went over and consoled her aldutering boyfriend. He just sat there and sobbed and said "Why is everyone picking on me". JUST LIKE THE LITTLE BITCH THAT HE WROTE.
