Banned Banned Banned
Comments are getting a little out of hand lately. We try to use a very light touch, continuing to publish upwards of 98% of those submitted. We've granted great latitude letting people roam and stray off subject with abandon. But in light of the recent craziness, it's time to yank the leash a bit. SCC has banned the following words from appearing on this blog:
- Sean Flynn;
- anything rhyming with Melvina, Paulina or Lunt when referring to females (corrected at the insistence of numerous readers);
- Scotchbreath;
- certain terms describing certain races or sexual proclivities;
- just about anything dealing with 008 and 009 being full of _____ - this includes the "B" team commentary
- anything that contradicts the fact that Sieser runs it.
We will also continue our previous bans on "DELETE," the three letter Spanish exclamation, most comments on the Area 2 gun team, and others about Area 1 females. Are we going to catch every single instance of these words being used? Probably not. But unless we see a specific reason to publish any of the above banned words or phrases, we're going to trash a bunch of comments for a week until it calms down a bit. You don't like it, too bad. We checked Blogspot and "008arepussies.blogspot" and "009bteamsux.blogspot" are still available. "Sieser_runs_it.blogspot" is taken however.
We also appreciate our readers defending us regarding a recent comment by a detective from Area 5. Unfortunately, the comments often ran afoul of the bounds of good taste, so we dumped a load of them. That doesn't mean we don't appreciate the thoughts. If he has a beef with us, that's on him and we're always available via e-mail. Let it be.
AMENDMENT TO ABOVE RULES: We'll still publish legit criticism of the "B" Team. We're just going to not publish the general personal attacks of the team (and if they're so good, why are they the "b" team?). As to the charges of censorship, we aren't obliged to publish any comments - but that'd be damn boring. We haven't been leaned on politically or professionally at this point in time and haven't heard from a lawyer since we slapped back at the Midway Sergeant's mouthpiece. Of course, we labeled all their e-mail as "spam" so who knows what's gone in the trash?

Its ruff being in charge. Just think you run a blog and have to generate rules every few months. Could you imagine a police department the size of Chicago.
Every one think that they can be the boss and do things better but when its time to man up well you see its not all that easy. Just a good "ole Boy" observation no offense.
i agree scc, but the 019 district tactical teams are all still worthless. except 1962d
Tricky still sucks though
SCC Wemaster, excellent decision. Although I have a problem with censorship, in this case some editorial license is long overdue. All too often we come across as a bunch of intolerant,jerks. Constant racial baiting, way too much negativity aimed at some officer who may one day be just the person to save another coppers ass. Let some of the mentally challenged return to the bathroom walls.
I was taking a leak in 011 and saw some graffitti about someone called TOMMABUNS, and then I was at the Lincoln Oasis and saw that TOMMABUNS had been there too!
He really gets around.
I see Hitney remarks aren't banned, any new photos?
Thanks, its about time. Any chance the rampant "daa my dist is better than yours!" posts will not appear? Good lord.
How about banning any comments from the troll "LeoMemorial".
Has anyone catched "Crimewatch" lately? That propoganda show had me laughing my ass off!
According to Peter Karl, all of our cars have computers! And they are all state of the art Toughbooks that can access real time information and pods!
But the best was the Blackberries. The citizens of Chicago are lead to believe that we ALL, not just bosses, have Blackberries. They showed two guys from TRU on the beat with Blackberries that they use to access all this data.
blah blah blah....
If Joe Citizen had any idea on how under-equipped the street copper is his head would spin.
------------------------------------
Yet the media never reports that while the suburbs have state of the art pdt's/Tasers/shotguns/rifles, the street copper has NONE of that in violent Chicago.
How's that for a story media? I challenge you to report how under-equipped we are!
SCC, I applaud you on attempting to maintain some decorum of decency on the blog. I've noticed over the past few weeks that you've been allowing a whole lot of personally nasty stuff to get through. Hope you'll keep your guard up better than has been in the past. Nothing wrong with people venting..to a degree. But some of this stuff is just personal bad grapes and cowardice, and the people posting that stuff should exercise more restraint or get professional help. I don't think any copper would like to be blasted like some of the bosses have on this blog (and a lot of the stuff people write here doesn't have a shred of truth in it!). Everyone on this job, to some degree, lives in a glass house. Even the folks who run this website.
It's always funny until someone loses an eye.
________BREATH is a truth. Why stifle free speach. R U afraid or a friend of ______BREATH. Did he contact U?
During the first comment, the guy slipped in a 3 letter spanish expletive. If your going to have rules don't let the first guy commenting to break those rules. Geez...
Westside "citizens" celebrate MLK Day by shooting 6 people on Sunday Morning! 6 people were shot in the 011th dist on Sunday morning, as members of the Area 4 midnight gang team on-viewed the incident!!! 2 bad guys, 2 guns recovered, great job by gang cops and 011th dist. rangers! Bad guys celebrate holiday in jail, all cops go home safe!!!
wait a minute, just hold on one hotdamn minute! just who in the heck is "SEISER"?
SEISER IS _____________.
Today is MLK's birthday. Fillmo' memories...
I was working Beat 1114, a 2nd watch (Capt. Phil Moss) power car 10-99 on Friday morning, April 5, 1968.
The night before, MLK, the civil rights leader, was killed by a sniper on the balcony of a Memphis Motel.
It all started outside Goldblatt's at Pulaski and Madison where shouting mobs from three high schools (Marshall, Austin and Farragut) converged around noontime.
Within minutes, bottles and rocks were flying, the sound of breaking plate glass windows and all hell would break loose.
Endless reports of 10-1's everywhere. By dusk, many of the stores on Madison between Karlov and Kostner were raging infernos. Shots fired at the police, looters...the weekend from Hell had just begun. Just like the earlier Wilcox St. fire house riot, the worst stretch for the West Side rioting was Pulaski Rd. between Madison and the Ike.
Cmdr. Sims ordered all taverns and gas stations closed.
To the man, all the white and Negro officers were BLUE to the bone.
Oh, the stories we could tell...
It's about time SCC stopped the negative comments directed against us! SCC, You, should have been doing your job much sooner and prevent anymore blogs attacking the 9th Sistrict B team.
We're not going anywhere. The DC is proud of our constant effort and quality arrests.
I hope you are man enough to keep 009 comments against a great group of officers from returning. Your in a position to finally strengthen the unity amongst the 3rd Watch. How you ask?
Your in charge of the blog. By preventing negative comments to be seen, you will make things come to passed.
Thanks SCC for stopping the untruth blogs about the B team.
The rules SCC published are they SCC General Orders or SCC Special Orders? You guys are doing a great job.
Rumor has it certain B team members with some serious CPD clout forced SCC to do away with comments about them.
Censorship concerning the 009 B team will not change the fact that they should be disbanded.
SCC, I would like to say that not publishing anything about the 9th B team would be better if you waited a full MONTH.
I believe a week is way too short and more like a slap of the hand. You even admitted you allowed things to get out of hand. You owe it your readers to make things right!!! Punish the bloggers by deleting all B team comments for a MONTH.
By then, all problems in 009 will be over and the B team will be fully established and accepted. Thanks for listening.
Damn those who force speedbumps, Big Brother Cameras and traffic circles upon us.
8:29am
Your is incorrectly used...try using--you're...as in...you're going to be coming back to a beat car very soon...
Do you write paper that way too? Please tell me you didn't attend college?

Hey, how about the author of this is given a thread of his own, and continue to post some of these stories? I would personally be interested in hearing what really happened out there. I prefer to read things like this on the blog, instead of the same old dumb shit about the "b" team, 008 sux, etc. Keep comin with the stories Fillmo' Memories. Thanks.
To the man, all the white and Negro officers were BLUE to the bone.
Oh, the stories we could tell...
Negro officers? Youre telling a story ABOUT the 60's, not IN the 60's !!!
I agree as well scc, but 1969 is still a tool. Doesnt he resemble squiggy? Poor single man who has nothing in life except:
1. Hopes in making merit LT.
2. BOOZE
3. Getting that terrible haircut and
god awful dye job. Whats up with
that neck line?
4. Pretending to be the police.
I noticed P-shades is fair game...wouldn't say he's insane, but he sure is on a DIFFERENT page. Hmmm...The Hartgrove hospital stuff may not be that far from the mark now that I think about it?
The guy was everywhere last night. Most NORMAL po's take it easy on a really rainy night when they are 10-99. You know...maybe doing a burglary report or traffic accident here and there?...Not that headcase! Seriously, he was answering domestics, gang disturbances, in-progress calls, man w/ gun calls and doing his dumbass contact cards in every sector AS IF he had a partner. Who knows? Maybe in his mind he thought he had a partner riding with him? Maybe he likes to hear himself on the radio? P-SHADES= NOT TOO BRIGHT!
Somebody needs to tell him to take it easy. Crime in 009 will not go away...Not to be rude, but beat cars don't really need your one-man backup either. Here's some advice for you:
Wait for YOUR backup MT...you are only one officer! Do you ever wonder why NOBODY wants to work with you? You read the blogs-officers don't like working with you. Why? You're out of control and don't know how to take things easy out there. Everything you do is the HARD way. While you were on IOD, your current partners (D.H/K.H) were saying you are way too aggressive and high strung for the park car. Park car? Says something doesn't it? Take this as advice so that you'll change your ways for the better......for everyone!
Ohhh...Heard you thought the "B" team was unfair and dividing the Watch?
Is THAT because we DIDN'T WANT or CHOOSE you? Truth is killing you isn't it Army guy?
-B team
SCC, good idea, poor choice in one of your forbidden topics. The shots taken at Lt. Richie ______breath are all satire: grounded 100% in truth, but satire none-the-less. There isn't a person on this Earth that has met him and doesn't think the same, even his 'friends'. Your choice in 'banning' them smack of some sort of response to a threat made by him or his camp. I'll explain...
Some time ago, you (SCC) listed an example of the kind of intelligent sarcasm and skull-duggery he wanted to see on the board by tearing Mary Mitchell a new bung-hole in an amusing way. In the same vain, there has been a series of critical posts about this favorite Lt. and his 'alleged' (yeah, right) activities at T.R.'s, his bullshit policy and his bullshit conduct. All very true, and all based in truth. The result? Tact/Gangs now directed to the West end of 008, for one thing. Second, he leaves us alone, instead of his insane ravings like a lunatic.
He reads this blog, SCC, sometimes HOURLY (I've see him in his office!) and responds in kind. It keeps him in check.
Isn't this the kind of thing you made this blog for?
to 0:647 good work, be safe
TommaBunns at Lincoln Oasis, thats great! Hes a living legend in 011, hes a FTO on days, likes to hit medical and is a good guy.....I heard hes kinda cheap?
Good for you SCC. The B team deserves a lot of credit. What the 009 district officers do not realize is they are keeping the mexican gangs at bay with their constant pressure.
Beat 914 and Davis Square park have never been policed better.
Kudos to the B team. May CPT Griffin keep you long and strong. It was a bold but intelligent move to start the B team. It's catching on in other districts too...
-009 3rd Watch
RDO cause of holiday. drove around the 19th ward looking at the Ruguai
signs. Its unbelievable all the signs at the homes of the first merit sergeants from 1998 and beyond, and at all the homes with the unmarked squad cars. I guess the merits have no shame. Took pictures going to meet with the READER since our union is spineless.
Agian thanks to the house cat undercover agent, that provides us the the merit appointess because our union certaily will not.
Were is Fitzgerald and the main stream media.
SCC, you forgot to mention Happy Birthday Dr. Martin Luther King today!
His solid work effort in Civil Rights should be praised on high! Hey, there are obviously caucasian officers and mexican descented officers on the 009th District B team. Are there any black B team officers? It sounds like it should be an equal opportunity team to be selected for am I correct?
-009 copper
TO THE DICKHEAD THAT HAS BEEN BAD MOUTHING ALD. BANKS. I LIVE IN BANKS WARD AND HAVE KNOWN HIM FOR OVER 30 YEARS. AND NO I M NOT A BOSS NOR AM I IN A CLOUT UNIT. I CAN TELL THIS ALD BANKS IS A DESCENT MAN WHO HAS ALWAYS SUPPORTED AND HELPED POLICE OFFICERS. AS FAR AS THE CONDOS HIS NEWPHEW IS BUILDING IF YOU EVER SAW THEM THEY ARE WELL BUILT AND START AT 300K. AT LEAST HE IS REDEVELOPING GRAND AVE. WHAT WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE , LIQUOR STORES BEAUTY SALONS AND BIBLE STORES , GET REAL. YOU MUST HATE ITALIAN AMERICANS, WELL JUST REMEMBER I HATE TOO.
Shut up you dork Ald Banks hasnt done one thing for this ward. You dont remember him trying to allow Habitat for humanity to build a project building near Hiawatha Park until people marched to his office? Call him and ask him why police are pulled out of 016 which sommetimes leaves us with no beat cars? ? I did and his lackey theres nothing Ald can do. Screw him, anyone in 36th ward vote for Sposato, hes a city worker and good guy! Things will change if he gets elected. And are you saying its ok for Ald to rezone and make money on side cause hes helping nephew build 300$ condos? Fed should nab him for this, I hope hes next to go. I put him with Troutman. Ask him where our new library is or our new street lights and planters are. I see westside wards get more than 36th. Enough is enough!And remember he voted with Daley second most of all alderman that should tell you something.....
I think I've come up with a work around for SCC's "banned list".
Fean Slynn or Sinn Fein
My wife causes angina!
Scotchtape Breath
Schnoggin' and interrogatin' the bishop
ocelots or democrats
008 and 009 are full of oft maligned neer-do-wells.
The "B" team consists of several persons suspected of impersonating the police.
Seiser may in fact only run his immediate area.
Oy Vay!
The FOP has spent approx. $42,000, thus far on expeling Harej and Hallinan. The members have a right to know. This goes under the cover: Banned, Banned, Banned. If they did not say the truth I would understand, however, Mark Donahue lied in the newapaper articles he uses against Harej and Hallinan. SCC, are you a friend of Donahue and crew, or the membership?
It's not Regina, Paulina and Lunt.
It's MELVINA, Paulina and Lunt.
i wont use any of the banned stuff jedi master, but i am close when i say
"I am De Leet"
Woot!!!!!!
I don't think this is exactly off-topic. To all of you who leave your comments, try to PREVIEW what you have written before you ask to be PUBLISHED! Really, the typos and spelling are ridiculois.
Who is "Tricky"? and why is his name in every bathroom stall I've been in from here to Cancun (I'm serious). I thought he was a political activist or something.
WHERE ARE THE SERGEANTS RESULTS!!!! 7 MONTHS & STILL WAITING.....YEA IT'S LEGIT.
MO' FILLMO' MEMORIES:
The West Side riots sure opened the nose of Goldblatts on the southeast corner of Madison and Pulaski. Before the shit hit the fan and unlike Sears-Roebuck on Arthington St., they wouldn't even give 011 guys the time of day, let alone free or discounted flashlight batteries.
You wonder how did Goldblatts escape all the flames and looting?
They couldn't give out enough free coffee, sandwiches, food, etc. to all the men of Fillmo'...a veritable oasis in the midst of Hades.
The clever bastards went unscathed.
This is not the appropriate forum for most of the other actual events of that fateful era.
Suffice to say, all of us had each others back. We worked very hard and we played harder. Those days in 011 were the worst of times and the best of times.
Yeah, I want to hear more stories about how the children of the Greatest Generation managed to lose the city in only 3 days too.
Oh, it was so rough. We had to lay in the park for 3 days. 10-1s everywhere. Burning, burning, burning.
Ya know something, thats what your fucking gun was for. You want to tell us your war stories, tell us how many bodies ya dropped. Not how ya got walked all over.
Hey Lefty if you want MLK tributes go to an MLK specific Blogsite.
I don't care to read your 1/2 truths about the guy. He now has his place in history, but sadly accomplished more in death than in life, kind of like Elvis.
However, I do hold him in higher esteem then Jesse Jackass!
The 008th district war stories do get a little old. I never really caught on to the meaning of the B team in 009. The 019th district tact team does kinda suck, but then again they know the game. The 018th district's new commander is the king of the greek suckholes. Hopefully this god damn greek will not be upon them for too long. Tommabunns has the perkiest man-breasts I've ever seen. Truhlar sucks. Now's a good time to get out of SOS so they can make it all black. 35th st. purchases souls for well below the market value. The academy staff are so stiff they squeak.
MOST IMPORTANTLY- I WOULD LOOK LIKE SUCH A SHITTY OFFICER IF THERE WASN'T SO MANY OTHER FUCK UPS ON THIS JOB- I LOVE IT!!

i thought rangers were from englewood not 11?
Hey Lefty, How did you honor MLK today? Did you fly your African flag or ware your African colors to honor the pepole of African descent. Did you donate any of you hard earned money to support any of the great causes MLK fought for.
Did you and your family get to gether and have a moment of silence or a prayer.
We already know the answer is NO! So shut the F*&$ UP you MUSH.

Aside from the fact that you probably couldn't make a patch on a real policeman's ass, just who the fuck might you be, you snot-nosed piece of shit?
Perhaps you'd enjoy a good old-fashioned Fillmore wood shampoo, slick.

Then, as now, all the station houses had a janitor who would mop the floors.
However, 011's "Archie the Janitor" had an additional chore. Archie also mopped WALLS!
"No AREA2/GUNTEAM comments for you! One Year!!!"
Off Subject, but does anyone else agree that our FOP is totally useless. Try calling or getting them to help you in a time of need and they are nowhere to be found. I hear of all these other unions with power and reps that actually help the members. What does our union do all day? Can we do anything about it?

CW and TW in 005 4 openings for Sgts 2 on days, any Takers. Heard they had to detail PO's in from 002 and use reverse senority to fill days. What is going to happen for 35th street to wake up. Hey Phil help those poor guys out there. Other watches ok 1st with TM & RW on 3rd.
Hey lefty why dont you go out and try to remind certain people about what MLK preached begining with "Non Violence" and "Responsibilty" etc.. which obviously many of his people have not followed. Sorry to see it but facts are facts!
this shit on this site is to fucking funny, even the post is funny as shit. God I love this job.
Amidst all the looting in 011, some paranoid, brainstorming pencil pushers from 11th and State sent out the inspectors to conduct searchs of the trunks of the squads and our personal vehicles.
Our integrity was above reproach. For laughs, we'd locate inspectors and fire a few rounds just out of their view. Those shoeflies would speed onto the eastbound Ike in a heartbeat.
Adios, you cowardly motherfuckers!
The 009th District B Team will be temporarily downed due to everyone having a 1, 2, or 3A furlough.
WHERE ARE THE SERGEANTS RESULTS!!!! 7 MONTHS & STILL WAITING.....YEA IT'S LEGIT.

No shit. I called the FOP, no answers. It appears no one knows what is going on.
Yeah, this list will be legit!
To all you racist, very uneducated, scared to sign your name afer your comments, cloutless, miserable, sorry excuse for a police officer, spineless anonymous posters on this site.
I can deal with all the "this tact team is worthless" "I didn't get promoted by merit so I am pissed" "I don't have clout so I will target those that do" "none of the bosses like me, so I will dog them all" bullshit, but I think you are beyond the dirt you profess, to say one thing bad about MLK Jr.
That is ok, remember God knows all and will let you know he knows all on YOUR judgement day. I don't have to say, "go burn in hell", because I already know you will.

Westside "citizens" celebrate MLK Day by shooting 6 people on Sunday Morning! 6 people were shot in the 011th dist on Sunday morning,
...What did that have to do with MLK day?
02:28:37
Try listening to what happened. Evaluate it. Since you have no similar experience, use it as a virtual tool to prepare for similar incidents. Better than big hat, no brain.
How come the FOP doesn't correct the travesty of everyone getting shift differential pay? The guys working midnights should get the most differential pay and third watch should get some also. Guys working days shouldn't get anything.
Dear Mr. Northside,
I'm someone who does not need a Daley to give me a shoot to kill order. A Daley! This is like having the French tell you that you need to fight terrorists.
Thats who I am. I'm sure you were the best of the best of the best of your generation. The problem Mr. Old Guy is that your generation was the worst of the worst of the worst.
So you are the best of the best of the best of the worst of the worst of the worst!

Is that you, Barry? Part of the old Fillmo' wrecking crew of Big Rick Miller, Long John Davis, Bob McGaha, Bryson and Blair? If so, thanks again for having my back.

Thanks to Martin Luther King Jr, as he created the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Oh pulllease!Are we getting into the "old timers" vs. "young bucks" now that the 008 and 009 stuff is banned? Times were different, hell they're different every day. Each District is it's own world, each watch within that District has it's own personality, some great, some suck. The Police Dept., the public, even the guys you left on the watch don't care what you did 10 years, 10 days or 10 minutes ago! It's the nature of the beast. It's right here, now, do what you're "supposed" to do, sometimes what you "have" to do, and rarer still what you "ought" to do. And when you are blessed enough to retire, sit back, have a beer, reminisce, but don't expect anyone other than YOU to care what YOU did. That's just reality. In a few years, the young guys now will be telling their stories about how the "job has changed" and the young bucks will be rolling their eyes, too.
...but I think you are beyond the dirt you profess, to say one thing bad about MLK Jr.
That is ok, remember God knows all and will let you know he knows all on YOUR judgement day. I don't have to say, "go burn in hell", because I already know you will.

So why not tell the truth about MLK's taste for young white women, even though he was a married man of God? The man was a documented whore monger. Who's gonna burn in hell? I may be a lot of things, but a cheater isn't among them.
Oh yeah, I forgot my cultural sensitivity...it's considered a norm in SOME communities to put your peepee in anything that moves, without regard to vows or morals.
MLK DAY
PLEASE! The only reason their is still racism is beacuse blacks will never drop it. They always pull the card when in need.
I would too....such an easy out.
Thank you second city dick......For heading a post honoring the birth of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr......Those racist jerks at SCC wouldnt even honor this great man with a post or acknowledge is birthday and his great accomplishments.....SCD......Thank you.
At least MLK day is legit. He is a real person who has tried to help, but why celebrate BUD BILIKEN What's up with that?
Where is white history month? Every other race has one. Guess there has never been any white people who have contributed to society. God forbid we push whitey on someone. If you have to beg for someone's thanks and push that he be displayed then maybe that person didn't do something so special after all.
Give the MLK Day whining a break, He's long gone and his spirit and effort don't live on. A tradgedy for sure. These days just a bunch of people who eploit him for their own personal gains in the spotlight with their own agendas that have nothing to do with any of his teachings.
You don't hear everyone running around on Lincolns b-day or Washington's b-day. Wonder why that is? Cause that sir would be racist that's why!
MLK would be considered a decent role model for the black community and his teaching should be promoted.
Too bad most of his fellow peeps are more concerned about robbing and homociding each other. Along with driving Escalades and wearing Sean Jean.
It a travesty that this is the way of life so we all know how the black community feels about his teachings. They don't give a shit either! So relax on the MLK day support. IT"S JUST ANOTHER HOLIDAY NOT A COMING OF THE WORLD.
shit we dont get a thread for Lincolns B day or presidents day......are we assholes for not posting threads about that. Hell any African Americans who take offense at the fact SCC didn't create a thread for MLK should be the same people #$%#@ing complaining about how Abraham Lincoln doesnt have his own thread on his birthday.......that man made some pretty large strides for the African Americans of his time.
Quit pulling the damn race card.
9:14 pm
Whats your problem.
Like him or not, Northside probably made more felony arrests than all the brass combined.
He was a fun guy to work with and they never made a legit paper test that he couldnt ace.
Nobody could accuse him of being an ass kisser or being anything but a great credit to the dept.
Check your email, John.
to: retired dick....I agree with you re: northside; came to meet him during the examscam challenges, one of the few who would stand up, and I mean STAND UP, for what was right and fair. Chicago city and county governnment is as corrupt now as ever, but it's not as if some folks aren't speaking up....

I can deal with all the "this tact team is worthless" "I didn't get promoted by merit so I am pissed" "I don't have clout so I will target those that do" "none of the bosses like me, so I will dog them all" bullshit, but I think you are beyond the dirt you profess, to say one thing bad about MLK Jr.
That is ok, remember God knows all and will let you know he knows all on YOUR judgement day. I don't have to say, "go burn in hell", because I already know you will.

Negro officers? Youre telling a story ABOUT the 60's, not IN the 60's !!!
1/15/2007 11:04:52 AM
What exactly is your point? The man was saying that ALL officers (black and white) were as one. They were all the real police. They all did what they were supposed to do.
Here's some knowledge for you:
The correct racial term for white people is Caucasian.
The correct racial term for black people is Negro.
That is correct terminology. Look it up.
Not everyone buys into this PC crap of any other names for a race of people.
can we talk about the area two saturation team instead?
1/15/2007 08:37::48 PM asked why FOP can't do something about the shift differential pay. Industry pays 15% extra for mids, 10% extra for afternoons, and 0% for days. You obviously don't remember or weren't here when that first came up. It was election time for the FOP officers and somebody realized that a large block of voters worked straight days (11th St., academy staff, ident, specual units, itc) and they wouldn't qualify for the shift differential. That's why they came up with "duty availability" (whatever that means) so everybody would get a check, and thus translate into votes. That's why they won't do anything.
I can not believe that a Po would be so rude as to say that some one on days should not get duty availability checks. I think we should all get the same thing across the board. That is why we never get anything when it comes around to contract talk because of self centered cry babies such as the person who placed that cry baby statement on this blog. We should all stick together not treat each group as separists. That is why the dick unit always does better on the contract then patrol because they negotiate seperately for their contract then they do for patrol. Sure it is all one union but look at past contracts they always take care of a few groups better then the whole group. That separist mentality is what keeps the department down as a whole. Oh yeah, I'm am not on days and never have been.
Every PO regardless of time on the job should have working day furlough. Only the city benefits from placing seniority on the working day furlough. That is how the city takes advantage of the PO's. They divide and conquer. Lets give old timers more then short timers, lets give dicks more then patrol, etc. The city puts each part of the department against each other, so each unit only cares about them selves. Until we stop acting like children in a school yard, the department will never take us serious and we will never get the gratuity we deserve for doing this silly job.

What a concept...stick together. I know it wont happen however... I really dont fuckin care anymore.
Yeah, I want to hear more stories about how the children of the Greatest Generation managed to lose the city in only 3 days too.
Oh, it was so rough. We had to lay in the park for 3 days. 10-1s everywhere. Burning, burning, burning.

Speak for yourself B team! I welcome the help from purple anyday. The guy busts his ass to get to a car calling for help...and once he arrives...he cleans house.
Don't listen to the advice of the B team MT!!!
12:41AM
Amen brother...
The "B" team won't give Purple Shades in 009 a hard time to his face, for two reasons:
1. P-shades is actually backing people up the way a NORMAL officer should
2. P-shades won't listen to their cowardly advice anyway
Maybe it's you who is fucked up in the head, because you're giving a good guy shit for backing people up? Isn't that what you get paid to do B team? Oh...We forgot how elite you are?
009 3rd has it's priorities all out of whack. At least p-shades comes running by himself ready to kick ass for a fellow po...What is your B team excuse?
-009 copper
There is a street by the old 16th Dist. named "Lipps", is it banned SCC?
p.s. westcide dog had the funniest post so far.
Ley me get the right. I just spent the last 20 years on afternoons. I just bid for days for the first time and got the bid.
You say I should now lose money because some two year wonder who has no senority and has to work 1st or 3rd watch thinks I dont deserve duty availability pay.
Maybe they should take it away from those who get assigned to a watch by management, and only give it to those who earned it by bid.
Maybe they should only give it to those who have the senority and/or the ability to bid for any watch. Why should those who have no senority amd cant bid and/or have the ability to bid for any watch get anything.
Get some time on the job, JagBag.

I agree your right hey we should have American Indian day everyday! why do we not have Irish,Italian,Polish Etc... Days off? But I am happy I got paid 4 and 8 on the books for nothing! great country!
The duty availability(shift differential) should only be for 1rst and 3rd watch people, not days.
More importantly, we need to aggressively pursue getting the legislation passed to remove residency from state law so we may include it in the negotiations for the upcoming contract. FOP< PBPBA should be all over this, lobbying hard in Springfield.
Duty availability was a way of getting us a raise and at the same time avoiding having to give the fire dept. one under the "me too" clause. Certainly it was also a way of garnering enough votes to get the contract based. It has nothing to do with "shift differentials" although that was one of the considerations at the time of the contract.
Is this b team guy really stupid enough to fuck with MT about being insane and out of control?
Hey coward, try disrespecting the war vet IN PERSON about being on your b team. You don't even know what teamwork means. Man up or shut the fuck up!
Got your back in 009 p-shades! You da man homie! Stay safe.

Fuck yeah, Purple Shades is a crazy army motherfucker! Absolutely!!! Quick p-shades story:
Back in 2005 I think, in winter, almost the entire blk of James was going up over an incident with CFD. The gang bangers were deep and threatening the paramedics. 10-1 called units respond...sea of blue...Fighting starts... Here comes p-shades 10-99 seconds later...jumps out of his squad IN THE MIDDLE of the crowd....goes up to the loudest one. Tells the dude loudly he needs to settle down or he'll be under arrest for disorderly. Dude about 250lb attempts to shove p-shades backward. P-shades snatches dude's elbow and plants guy chin first on his squad holding him in some fucking wrist/hand lock i've neer been taught???... other hand using to handcuff him...tossing him forcefully head first into squad...meanwhile...still barking out orders like a drill sergeant to the approaching M 1's and F'1's. He's only got his wooden baton in hand...Looks my way...smiles, waves and shouts "Just like overseas brother!" Here's the thing-man, they were looking at him with his attitude AS IF he truly was psychotic...(back then he was wearing prescription purple sunglasses at night)...AND they were listening...and dispersing. One dude said "Hey Robocop you better call for more wagons for all of us." P-shades says "If you continue to advance near myself or my fellow officers, then where you end up, you'll pray you get a wagon and not a hearse! Am I clear?" In a tense situation, he's got a calming way about him....Funny shit!
But man, those guys were shitless and very compliant after that!!! No copper on scene actually scared people like that. Several arrests made that night, no coppers injured...but dude that p-shades brought in begged the WC to let a "nice" officer do his processing. Something about how p-shades just got back from Afghanistan...and every gang banger was now a potential terrorist and therefore target? Lol... MT? Sure he's different, but very likable and funny. Man, can that guy make you laugh! He's crazy alright, but thank God he's in 009.
Just my two cents Mr. B team, but I'd gladly have p-shades back me up! Give 'em hell P-shades!
THATS GOT TO BE COMMING FROM A PATROLMEN WITH UNDER 10 YEARS. SALARY AND VACATION STRUCTURE IS THE SAME ALL OVER THE COUNRTY EVEN IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR.
WANT TO HELP UNITE. GET RID OF "VOLUNTEER" UNITS SO COPS DONT HAVE TO WHORE TO KEEP THERE SPOTS !!!
alot of cops at rugai's benefit this past weekend---merit sgts, cops in narc, vice, or sos, and management to 022. hmmmmmmmmmmmm wake up people she does nothing for the 19th ward . look at all the robberies and burglaries in the 10sector of 022. look at the lack of police service in 2211 2212 and 2213. look at all the shithead businesses opening up on western ave shes driven the 19th ward into the ground vote her out
Who thinks being sued in federal court is cool?
Big bad BOROFF-- He claims the FOP thinks he is the greatest. Boroff for supt
I'd be happy to have a team of guys like this p-shades you bitch about instead of an overrated B team of whiners like yourself anyday.

You obviously never worked a job before you worked here. Even in private sector there is a difference between new hires and veterans.

The above post it the exact reason why this department will never be taken seriously during contract time. Who cares how much time you put on this job. Getting a better contract benefits you and the rest of the department. Stop being so self centered, forget all about all the time you spent on this job, it is over you can not get it back. The city has been putting were the sun don't shine for some time obviously, but stop being a hater of the younger cops. The seniority mentality is exactly what the department wants that way they can keep each group against each other and we will never be able to agree on anything because every one is only worried about their little peice of the pie that actually turns out to be nothing evertime.
Also, to the person who posted the angry statement. This will be my 4th contract since I have been on the job, so I guess I would be considered an old timer too. But, I'm not a self centered bitter person and I am tired of being hit in the keister by the city every single contract. What is good for one should be good for all. Have a nice day old timer.
Whats the word on the tact and gang team changes in 004? Heard the new leadership is changing for the worse! Any comments?

Yes I'm angry when you classify something men and women have died for, as a "silly job", your words not mine. You've been through 4 contracts and you're willing to give up seniority? What in God's name does being a senior officer have to do with being labeled "a hater of the younger cops". Ok, take a poll, ask how many senior officers are willing to give up their seniority or "piece of the pie"? I'd love to see the reaction of a of a P.O. with 20+ years on when a P.P.O asks him or her to give up his/her seniority so he could have all the benefits the veteran has. Now that would be funny.
Here's a question for you, when does seniority begin or end meaning when would you use it and when would you not? How would you work the bid process for watch selection? It's bad enough somone on management gets to work a plum watch assignment over someone with more seniority, but when you make it acceptable across the board, it would not only be unfair, but a real mess. It has nothing to do with being bitter, and all to do with getting what our legally negotiated contract has been fought for.

Assuming that the author of all three quotes is one and the same, kindly elaborate on your seemingly irrational posts. Are you obtuse or is there some lucid point buried beneath your drivel?
Otherwise, we can only conclude that you are delusional and desperately in need of psychiatric help.
God help us if you are actually a police officer!
9:34, It would be a miracle if there were more than one of you dinosaurs who has learned how to use a computer and the internet. The point is clear for anybody with an ability to read.
They write war stories about saving a Sears or a Goldblatts for coffee and donuts, while spouting off endlessly about how dangerous it was. How dangerous was it? Well they burned down the neighborhood and a good part of the city. Thats how dangerous it was. Except it was burned down while our heroic storytellers were drinking coffee and eating donuts and looting liquor stores. Geez, thank God the world had heroes like them. Er, heroes like YOU!
Ya know something? There are millions of people whose ancestors came from the south and west sides. They are scattered to the winds.
Why are they everywhere but the south and west sides? Because the savage ran amok.
And what were our heroes doing while the savage ran amok in 011? Eating free donuts, drinking free coffee, and looting a liquor store or two.
The toll at the end of the '68 riots was what, 30 or 40? And that only after the National Guard came in to save our heroes from hardened arteries?
Is this any more clear now? Could it be more clear? These aren't war stories that anybody should EVER tell their children. Their story is one of defeat and failure and disaster.
The only thing that could possibly help these stories would be if they included how the storyteller dropped bodies until he was out of ammunition. But noooo, nothing like that. These guys are more likely to tell you how many marshmellows they roasted while the city burned.
That is your legacy. That is your history.
to 12:23
Not true !!! In the private sector they dont count your days off toward your vacation time. For example, if you have a one week vacation they count it staring monday through friday. Everyone should have a working day furlo. The dept stels from us when it comes to that .
3:56 PM
You are truly fucked up. Take your meds, troll.
Can anyone verify that a newer female blond PO from 023 was observed writing down the times which Tact and Gang Team Po's were leaving work? This was said to stem from her not making the Tact Team several months ago.
I heard the average age of arrestees by the the area 2 saturation team is over 64 yoa can't they find someone under 25 to arrest ?
to the person that said "why doesn't fop fight to lift residency". ask them unofficially and they'll tell you if they even "dare" put it on the table for discussion, Dickhead Daley will play hardball and turndown each and everything else up for discussion. fucking tragedy.
to the person that asked about the 004th district tact and gang team breakup. is their even a 004th district gang or tact team? i never ever see them on the south side of 004.
MLK yada yada yada. who gives a shit about him. all i care is that i make 12 hours.
whats up with the commander in 009. can't he see or maybe he just doesnt give a shit that the b-team is fucking everything up. morale is at an all time low. people - bid out of 009. let the district rott if thats what he wants, so be it. Go to another district and be the police.
God bless our troops overseas and God bless the workn police. Dog ass do nothing pussy police can line up at City Hall and form a line to suck and lick Daley's hairy little balls.
Have a nice day.
10:12 PM
So the 11th District police were "eating donuts and looting liquor stores" during the sniper fire, arson, 10-1 calls and looting by roving bands of rioters.
You are so transparent. Where were you during the rioting?
Your outrageous fabrications prove that you really have an ax to grind.
How dare you insult the honor of those courageous police officers attempting to restore order under the most perilous of circumstances!

"You obviously never worked a job before you worked here. Even in the private sector there is a difference between new hires and veterans. You can't walk into a new job and expect same pay, same vacation and other benefits as veterans of the job".
I couldn't have said it better.
First of all I never said give up seniority rights for bidding to a watch. What I was initially responding to was the PO who said that people on days should not get a duty availability check because they do not work 1st or 3rd watch.
What I was saying is that I believe every single PO should receive a duty availability check regardless of what watch we work.
I was referring to giving every single po a working day furlough. What does that have to do with giving up your seniority ?
This is a silly job. Never said anything about the people who gave their life for the job. I believe you take your self to serious. The way the city hands out merit promotions and shits on patrol every contract is what I was referring to as this silly job.
Also, I worked in the private sector for 11 years before I came on this job, not sure about what pay every one else made, but every one got the same vacation regardless of time on the job.
The only reason the city uses seniority is because it is easier to pay a few then it is to pay everybody. So, to recap all I was refering to was everyone should have a working day furlough. Sorry I picked on your god almighty senority.
Does it really matter about duty availability difference for each watch. Your missing the big picture. Any way you look at it, when the city gives us something they take it away some where else. So, why don't we all try to stick together and get 15 to 20 extra furlough days rather then worry about a few percentage points toward a raise that the city will get back by raising taxes and fees, etc. If we get more days off they can not tax that. If every po had working day furlough instead of the bs that short timers have now the burn out probably would not occur as often. More time off will keep us much happier then placing us in a higher tax bracket. Plus, before people get silly and start complaining about the seniority being taken away. I do not see why giving every po a working day furlough would be taking anything away from some one who already has a working day furlough. It is just ridiculous when some one with time on says "screw the new guy, I had to do it when I came on." That is the one way mentality the city wants us to have when it comes to negotiating a new contract. It is cheaper to take care of a few rather then take care of every one. Lets just all stick together once and get a decent contract that will give us more time with our families then dealing with the silly bs that we have to deal with in the street while working. Also, I do have working day furloughs so I am not a new guy.
004th Dist tact changes ... they are starting to get rid of the dogs on the tact team ... the leadership over there finally has some leadership !!!
P-shades in 009 sounds like a good guy. If you think about it any WORKING copper is a bit crazy. How many normal people rush to man w/ gun calls? Exactly. My question is what's wrong with the B team guy messing with him?

As a veteran officer i agree with most of your rant. But the city will never do it! We are so short that the city will not allow more time off!
I agree as well scc, but 1969 is still a tool. Doesnt he resemble squiggy? Poor single man who has nothing in life except:
1. Hopes in making merit LT.
2. BOOZE
3. Getting that terrible haircut and
god awful dye job. Whats up with

4. Pretending to be the police.

I know him. He's an okay guy but does have some nervous nellie issues. Good guy to drink with but wouldnt want him to be my supervisor if the sh-t hit the fan.
1:29, maybe your new and just started to read this site. Over the past six or twelve months, these are the stories that THEY themselves have posted. The Goldblatts thing was in this thread, no? The looting of the liquor store on Roosevelt was posted a few months ago.
Sorry if you missed it. But some of our families were from these destroyed neighborhoods. I for one take a bit of offense at our chest-thumping role models bleating on about their heroics, when the stories they themselves tell implicate them as just another part of the problems of the era.

"Ya know something?"
You've got shit for brains.
Don't know about you, but I've always been told NEVER trust a copper that doesn't drink with you after work?
P-shades in 009 rarely if ever comes out with his fellow officers for some brews. Since he chooses to go home instead of hanging out he pisses off a lot of coppers! A lot! He brings it on himself! Officers, B team, attack him on this blog because in real life they fear what he might do? I mean, the guy isn't right. He talks to the military people more and that frosts guys too! He does things differently and freaks coppers out.
If he wants to be accepted in 009, then he had better start making friends in 009...not just his partners either. Do I trust or like MT? Cannot say...he's NEVER had a drink with me.
Just MY friendly two cents...
3rd Watch in 009
The euphemism "duty availability" pay is nothing more than a pretext to avoid a policy in effect in most major police departments: SHIFT DIFFERENTIAL.
Based on seniority, veteran officers need only bid for first and third watch assignments.
Why should empty-holstered, house mice working steady days with weekends off share in the supplemental pay?
Taking it further, why should an officer working a "slow" district, regardless of seniority (or lack thereof), earn the same as officers working the mean streets of districts like 007 and 011?
Use your seniority. Bid into field assignments in "fast" districts during the hours of darkness.
Common sense cries out for supplementary income for SHIFT DIFFERENTIAL!
Sorry I picked on your god almighty senority.

Brother, you've got RESPECT! Guys RESPECT you and you don't even see it? Some people hate you because you are well-liked!!! Every working copper in 009 knows you ain't playing out there.

So you are overwhelmed by sheer numbers while risking your life as a police officer on shifts extending beyond 12 hours during the most tumultous era of violence in our city's history.
Damnit! Charlie Trotter does not have a restaurant within the confines of the 11th District. Indeed, there were no restaurants conducting business during the riots.
Amidst all the chaos, you want a sandwich or two on the fly. Between 10-1's, you grab a sandwich at Goldblatts, only a minute away from "ground zero".
For shame, officer! "Brown bag" it next tour.
By the way, what's your body count, officer?
Shall we stand down or evacuate and call in the military to carpet bomb this God forsaken hellhole?

Late 60's. 011 on the midnights. Another homicide. Rigormortis had already set in on the black male lying on the 2nd floor apartment.
Detective Lee, a very methodical homicide detective, had a quirk about touching stiffs without gloves. It was his job and he was on the scene with a number of other police. As it would happen one of the hangers on brought it to Detective Lee's attention that there was a piece of paper stuck in the fist of the deceased. Lee turned and asked those in attendance if they would remove the paper. To a man all refused as it was Detective Lee's case. As a result, Lee was force to pry the fingers of the stiff open and extract the note. This took quite some time as clenched fists on a dead one are rather difficult to deal with. I forgot to mention that Lee was a very big man and huffed and puffed while bending the fingers back. He finally extracted the note and with great effort, uncrumpled and without realizing it started to read it allowed. "Mr. Lee would you please catch my killer".
First of all I never said give up seniority rights for bidding to a watch. What I was initially responding to was the PO who said that people on days should not get a duty availability check because they do not work 1st or 3rd watch.
What I was saying is that I believe every single PO should receive a duty availability check regardless of what watch we work.
I was referring to giving every single po a working day furlough. What does that have to do with giving up your seniority ?
This is a silly job. Never said anything about the people who gave their life for the job. I believe you take your self to serious. The way the city hands out merit promotions and shits on patrol every contract is what I was referring to as this silly job.
Also, I worked in the private sector for 11 years before I came on this job, not sure about what pay every one else made, but every one got the same vacation regardless of time on the job.
The only reason the city uses seniority is because it is easier to pay a few then it is to pay everybody. So, to recap all I was refering to was everyone should have a working day furlough. Sorry I picked on your god almighty senority.

You worked in the private sector for 11 years and have been on the job for four contracts. Now we realize, and apologize, you aren't stupid, your just senile.
Go change your depends, they're starting to get stinky.
It's about time someone in the 004th Dist. Did something about the dogs on the tactical teams, Who should we thank? There are some real dog asses, I heard more are getting dumped.

You sound like a ROYAL JAG, I wouldn't F!@#ing drink with you either. You know why he hangs out with vets?.....The same reason I do, there's more cohesion and comeraderie between vets than coppers, at least lately from what I've seen. You don't trust someone who isn't an alcoholic, well sh!t, someone who drinks too much is more likely to say too much. I drink with my watch, but not every day, if that makes me untrustworthy then, tough shit, I back my brothers/sisters up, 10-4 and 99, and I'm a veteran from the gulf...and not on the xbox. This guy probably has a life and doesn't need to hang out with you every day after work, maybe he's even getting some school money out of the city. I live in 009, I like hearing that somebody is actually trying to keep the shitheads at bay, bad enough I have to work around the scum, I'll be FUCKED if I'm gonna live around it too. P-shades, whoever you are, keep it up and fuck those strokes! If you're on my block and in the shit, I've got your six.
AIRBORNE ALL THE WAY!
"I believe you take your self to serious".
Thank you, you're brilliant,myself and others I work with take ourselves and the job very serious.
When you don' take yourself or the job serious, is when it's time to leave before you get yourself or someone you work with hurt.

Great story about "Andy", a fine fellow.
Then there was the time when another Area 4 dick phoned "Andy" in the area.
From a mere thirty feet away, the white detective, posing as a anonymous informant and using his best signature ghetto ebonics, told Lee that critical evidence (victim's ID, etc.) from the then unsolved "Interstate 57" homicides was buried in the mud in the basement of an abandoned building on Grenshaw St.
Within minutes, after dragging the legendary Booker T. Porter along, "Andy" was interrupted on Grenshaw, digging with his shovel with Booker T. holding the kel-lamp.
Fortunately, the jokester showed up before the big fella could break a sweat.
We laughed our asses off.
Later, the notorious Henry Brisbon was arrested and convicted of the I-57 murders and remains imprisoned after escaping his death sentence.
Lee had a big heart and a great sense of humor.

We need more laughs. Great yarn about the lovable "Detective Lee".
Wasn't that about the same time when the "Jew-Town (943 W. Maxwell St.) Homicide Squad" introduced the first area lie detector--a Xerox machine preloaded with paper reading "LIE" and "TRUTH"?
Did you guys really put a tin foil dunce cap on the suspect's head for "the box"? LMAO!
I have fourteen years on this job as yeah seniority has its perks and I am never gonna agree with giving it up! I get screwed by peoples phone calls, bosses kids and familys, out of things I deserve because I have more experience and am a far better officer than a new kid on the block. All I have is seniority to get the little I can on this department. Do your time and earn your perks you wet behind the ears weezle! Wahh Wahhhh! Every spot on this department should be by bid, or test, so I can go where I want and get the opportunities that people with connections get. NO I don't want an inside job, those should be reserved for people who can't work the street. Officers that have been injured, light duty, or 15 years plus.
To 11:36:24 16 Jan 07 Yeah.. the blonde female PO from 023 is a bartender from some place in Wrigleyville. I though that was against the CPD Rules and Regs since I took 3 days for working the door at a bar in Bucktown. None of the POs from 011 have a good thing to say about her short stint there. She definittly loves to beef on coppers and shakes her fake tits at the bosses. I guess she pretends to be cool, but goes directly to OPS to beef. Good choice not taking her for tact..probably a good one to avoid!
A Note about P-Shades and everyone else in 009..........
I used to work in the 009th District. I did my job and trained many of these "B-team" tact wannabes, and I hope they don’t want to go to S.O.S. either.
First things first, if you haven’t noticed it yet, the 3rd watch WC does not care about anyone, he just wants to make himself look better so he can become an ADS, the guy just made Capt. However, he does not have to impress anyone as long as Daley is in office, you know what I mean.
Second, if you get into shit because you want to have two stars next your name, do an internet search on the recent SOS arrests. I'm sure the bosses said, go out there and do what you have to do, we will cover you. Do you see those bosses giving those guys anything HELL NO, But we know how bosses act.
Third, I worked with P-shades in 009. I NEVER had a problem with him. I was actually glad every time he showed up to assist. He doesn’t cause problems, He doesn’t get CR numbers for you, he will be the first to get in a boxing match
Four, RR & LS you two secret lovers are a JOKE. As well as some of the other hacks on the B-Team.
Fifth, The Tact team in 009, All politics + you have to talk about high school sports during your whole tour, im just not into talking about young boys playing ball. Their focus should be on Tank JOHNSON, pull him over....you might get a gun.
Sixth, Capt MATULA was a good and fair boss.
Seventh, Edgar MULLINS is a TMA, so watch out.
Im going back to watch TV in my nice warm cozy home on the NW side where there is no TRU, SOS, B-Team, K-9, CTA, or any other specialized units, But it would be nice to see some more 016th Dist cars around here more often, especially 1614.
I'm not scared so I'll post about what should we get based on senority. In the private sector, if I start brand new I have to work a certain period to get qualified for medical benefits. As I remember the day I joined I filled out papers to get my medical. As far as vacation time, private sector newbies get maybe 5 vacation days a year after their first year on average. After toiling a few more years they might move up to 10 vacation days a year. The day you finish your first year on this job you get 20 straight days off, yes you might give back some to the city but do the math: Private sector 5 days police 20 (- lets say 7 to the city = 13) advantage police on both accounts.
So the big thing to worry about is benefits and KEEPING what we have set up. This department was based on a military system, and the city continually tries to privatize everything. You want a bad job? Let them privatize our department where all supervisors are just that, and you get no breaks, higher insurance payments and less time off.
Contract is coming up, focus on some cost of living wage increase, but most importantly focus on giving NONE of the rights we already have, yes this means our senority, fight for and extra holiday I don't care if it is Bud Bilikin day, just getting an extra holiday is a pay raise in itself with more comp time in the books. Fight for another BFD a year, another pay raise and more time off.

Rest assured if MT is out there, then the shitheads are at bay.
I worked with him quite awhile on Mids in 009 and he takes the job very seriously. He constantly wanted to make the streets in 009 safe. Gang bangers in any sector hated seeing him drive up...especially the 30 sector. They wouldn't act up around him either! They too believed he was crazy. It was his way or the highway! I don't know if he's calmed down or not, but knowing him I'd say no way.
He's a great guy and takes care of his fellow officers.
MT never drank much with anyone on Mids either. So what? We sure as hell TRUSTED the guy! Get a fucking clue you alcoholic!
No one said give up seniority.
purple shades is one of the hardest working officers that 009 has to offer. he is very kind hearted and everyday risks his life to support his fellow officers and to ensure that they go home every night safely. who on this job has the right to putdown a working officer for what he does? if he was a dog or backed away from in progress jobs then i would say you have a valid beef. he attempts to be frieds with everyone in the district and has never said a harsh word about anyone including the annoymous fools who write about him or the signed member of the "b-team" who continually put him down.he works to fight the gang problems in the district and does a pretty good job at putting the fear of god into their heads. so, the annoymous copper claims that he cant be trusted because he doesnt drink.....well, i think its safe to say he has more important priorities at the homefront (like his family) that require his time more than the bartender. after what he went through as a war hero and after all the things you saw and you still have a solid piece of mind and your not an alcoholic like some shows the type of person that you are. im glad that you are my friend and partner in crime and dont let these annoymous haters upset you....stay who you are shades.........i got your back always!!!
"I agree as well scc, but 1969 is still a tool." To the poster who wrote that, Connelly isn't a bad guy. Fair enough fellow.
Well educated. Wants to move up to Lt....well, show me a Sgt. who doesn't want to "move up" to the best job on the Dept!! If that makes him a jerk, then you should have stood outside Lane Tech last week and counted all the Sgt. "JERKS" who showed up for phase II of the Lt. Test!!! Everybody has their quirks, and I don't know any boss who has made everyone around him happy...impossible to do and still be true to yourself, and the workers who get what you need DONE. And is you dislike the man so much....why are you still WORKING for him? What does that say about YOU? TWOFACE!!
I have 10 plus years on the job. Finally getting those working day furlo's. However I believe that working day furlo's should be for everyone increased as seniority increases. I think we all could use more time-off. Let's ask for 15 and maybe get 5-10. After any pay increase it's only a few dollars anyway. MAybe 3 furlo's per year instead of 2. Save a lot of coppers from getting so burned out so quickly. Use those extra days off to work special or other side job if you choose. It makes sense and the only thing the city could say is manpower shortage would prevent from giving more time off. That's on the city to explain why there are not enough police on the street. Take some of those fat coppers from 35th street to supplement in the districts.
Is p-shades and MT the same person?
Friendly as hell to his co-workers...Vicious as a wolverine towards street thugs...that's how I would describe Purple Shades! If you are about to get your ass handed to you, then hearing MT say he's on the way to you...will instantly calm your pucker factor.
Called for his assistance in the past and I will state for record...he's the man! I agree with 12:35...Don't matter how big the threat is...MT will be the first to box...he won't back down...no doubt in my mind that he would die for you too...NOBODY and I do mean NOBODY "cleans house" quicker in 009! Only a jealous asshat would purposely try to anger MT on this blog!
I can't believe that some loser who can't put his name to this blog and talk so much smack about someone like p-shades. First off I have worked with him numerous time and never had a problem with him. P-shades is a stand up guy and he would do anything for anyone. I know that first hand working with him. P-shades is the man! I probably have the most respect for him out of anyone in the district. The man has gone through hell and back. Hes a war vetern and survior! For that I thank him for serving us and the country. For the indivdial who talks shit about him your a pussy! If you got something to say to someone say it to his face! Man the fuck up! P-shades I got your 6 brother 24/7!
Boses getting rid of people in 004 that have been awarded every year don't deserve to get dumped! Police with experience on the job in exchange for inexperience....sounds about right.Go 004 tact/gangs!!!!
yeah...since when did 011 start calling themselves "rangers"? the phrase "englewood rangers" dates back to the 80's as far as i know.
what ever happened to crazy paul niezabitowski from 009??? did he get fired
yeah...since when did 011 start calling themselves "rangers"? the phrase "englewood rangers" dates back to the 80's as far as i know.

011 wins then Filmore rangers dates to the 70's possibly even the late 60's
MT, you are a war hero and a great guy! Tell them motherf$#kers to kiss your ass!!! We love you in 009. You are the leader of 3rd Watch...you just don't know how RESPECTED you are man? These B team jokes are total asshats!!! Keep kicking ass out there!!!!
