Facts and Rumors
Just to clear up a thing or two and solicit info on some others:
- Abbate was NOT a tactical officer in 020. He worked the watch. We have no idea where this info came from, but the media has been running with it and they're wrong. Amazing how that happens sometimes, isn't it?
- We're still trying to figure out what Capt. MB did wrong in 025. If he was securing his lot against unwanted and illegal intrusion of the media, why is he being punished? If the judge ordered Abbate to leave by a rear door, why is MB being punished? And (as pointed out) if any one of us was caught making the stupid threats concerning a baseball bat against an ordinary citizen, how much time would we be looking at?
- Is it true that CW came to 025 to "buck up morale" and told everyone the media is our friend? For real? Anyone? Bueller?
- Someone posted a rumor that the Department was going to discontinue the effort to approve a couple of new guns for use because of the cost involved in training and certifying everyone. We've talked to some people who've tested these new guns and for the most part, this new Springfield-XD is sounding like a good gun. Are they ever going to get around to approving these things or what? We know we have a couple of range guys/gals who read us regularly - how about a scoop?

The capt. did nothing wrong, but again city hall seen if differently and cline was forced to try to demote him! This man should of been promoted as he had raw courage,but the powers that be screwed him over big time! How about the jefferson tap incident were the sissys that started the fight, crying? Which one has a record for bar fights now want cpd to give them money? 4 punk yuppies start a fight and can't finish they well deserved an ass kicking next time remember to arrest these type of jagoffs after they lose!
JUST 'MY' TAKE.......
Me thinks da' Mere called da' Soup from wherever he's hiding [made aware of the bad pub to break] and said to, "Make it go away."
Da' Mere is only concerned about two things about now.....
1) Da Mere [himself]
2) Da Olympics
As far as CW visiting 025 for 'damage control' ......while it MIGHT [emphasis added] be well intended, moreover it could have been 'avoided.' Therein lies the problem.
[i.e. 018 apology for the "Rev." berating the roll call.]
While the Knute Rockne, pep talk, apology, damage control etc. MAY be well intended.......we're talking coppers here, we know smoke when we see it!
A little more 'honesty' admitting a screw-up BEFORE the apology would make it a little more easier to swallow.
We ALL make mistakes. But, IF you're gonna piss-in-my-face, don't insult me further by claiming it's 'rainwater!'
I/WE know the difference.
Again, ONLY my humble opinion.
MOST IMPORTANTLY.....Please be safe out there my 'Brothers O' Blue!'
As always.....Remember That Thin Blue Line!

This is on Mary Mitchell's blog......unbeleiveable!
When will Mary stop? Thank God Karolina is a white woman
When Police Supt. Phil Cline said he is "sickened and embarrassed" by the brutal beating of Karolina Obrycka, a bartender at a Northwest Side bar, I believe him. But when he says that Chicago police officer Anthony Abbate has "tarnished our image worse than anybody else in the History of the Department," I have a problem with that.
Young black men (and women) have been brutally beaten by out-of-control police officers in the past, and the incidents have been handled as if they were isolated cases.
But the mauling Obrycka took at the hands of an alleged drunken off-duty police officer will change the culture of the police department. Why? Because she's a white woman.
where was the mayor for ff grant's LINE OF DUTY DEATH funeral????? where's the outrage??? oh wait--daley can't be in town during the heater scandals (abatte, 025, jefferson park tap, al sanchez, cline makin threats on radio etc etc)
I heard a rumor that Monique Bond likes to party.
if you want to bitch and moan about this department, go ahead. this department is doing what it should do. don't think i am a company boy, but the disdain should be for the FOP leadership. why doesn't our FOP have a media relations expert? don't we pay enough in union dues? are we not one of the largest FOP locals? look at what the louisville FOP did. what has our local (we aren't a union) done for us?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrUfsG8YPt0
FOP Donahue was wrong to complain about the Capt. in 025. He at least did a stand up thing. The Capt. is not even a member of FOP. How dare you Mark. I am a Sgt. and was going to vote to decert. PB&PA until your comments. Now, I am PB&PA all the way. I realize you would also throw PB&PA members under a bus to help your cause.
Its retarded we have to worry about the dept approving what guns we can or cant carry. When I was a civilian resident of another state I could carry whatever the f'ck pistol I pleased with my CCW permit.
Illinois sucks
Carol Marin writes today that the citizens of Chicago deserve answers to questions regarding the Police Department from the mayor.
I agree and believe Superintendent Cline should provide answers to these questions also.
#1 Why did you take the 5th Amendment when called to testify at the trial of the Marquette 10 and did you co-operate with the FBI in that investigation to prevent yourself from being indicted?
#2 Was Bill Hanhardt your mentor and friend and what did you do for him?
#3 Did you place the dead raccoon above George Sam's desk in Area 2 after you had disagreements with him? Wasn't "coon fest" thrown in your honor and didn't you attend?
#4 Were you a friend of Jon Burge? Aren't you allowing him to take the heat for one of those cases still on trial that you actually were involved in?
#5 You were Medzianowki's Commander in both Gang Crimes and then Area 5? Your testimony at the Risley trial left many questions. How close are you to the Risley's? Why didn't you move on Medzianowski much earlier? Why did you give him a 99% efficiency grade?
#6 Wasn't Pam Zekman right on when she said you are manipulating the homicide count by under reporting the number of murders by carrying them as death investigations? Is this why the homicide count is currently creeping up and what are the revised counts for previous years?
#7 Why was Bill Kushner uncermoniously transferred to a District after telling John Risley that you were violating State law in the ways narcotic forfiture monies were being spent?
#8 What are the criteria for merit promotions? Do you need an alderperson or another politician to step forward for you?
#9 Haven't street deputies and the head of IAD always been able to strip a police officer immediately and place them in callback? Isn't your new policy a step backwards?
#10 Haven't you lied when you claimed you passed the fitness test?
WC did in fact try to rally the troops on 2nd watch roll call. Mentioned that Capt. B made a HORRIBLE mistake and that we should-- get this-- "embrace" the media-- they in fact are our friends. I have never witnnessed the phenomenon of a man that can actually stand erect without a spine- but now that I have, Im a better person.
Rumors?
How about the one that has slowly gone away.....
Guy from A/4, guy from OCD who ripped off dope dealers for over 1 million. Happened more thana couple of years ago. Both still on the job enjoying the money.
Hey those who live in 016. They are now sending your tact team to 005. I guess you will be responsible for your own block now.
Forget those Glocks and Springfields just get a Sig. The Sig is the best weapon out there.The dept. should dump the berretta's, rugers, and smiths. Those guns are crap.
CHARLOTTE, North Carolina (AP) -- Two police officers shot while struggling with a suspect outside an apartment complex died early Sunday, authorities said.
Sean Clark, 34, and Jeffrey Shelton, 35, were responding to a disturbance call at the apartment complex in Charlotte late Saturday. They were shot in the parking lot, according to a statement from the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department.
Clark and Shelton were taken to a hospital, where they later died. Clark had been with the police department for a year, and Shelton had worked there since 2001.
Police were looking for at least two people in connection with the shootings, according to WCNC-TV in Charlotte.
why is it the media is never held accountable? If we get caught in one lie on the stand or wherever else our credibility is gone for life... media lies and oh, well... never an apology, never a correction (oh wait once in a while on page 26) but no one ever is held accountable. I emailed carol marine and asked her this and she hasnt written back. I say we flood her with emails demanding someone be held accountable! (cmarin@suntimes.com) There needs to be a channel that frightens the media if they screw up... someone who shoves a mic in their face and calls them out after a fuck up! SOmeone waiting outside their homes and work to make them accountable!!! Anyone interested? I sure as hell am! Let's do something to really shake up the Chicago media! We could call for the arrest of Cline for making threats, ask for explanations for media fuck ups.... shove a mic in big lips face and demand answers! First question is why when we raised $104,000 for the community it aired once... but Abbate's rant is still airing??? LETS GET IT ON!!
Cpt MB's only mistake was thinking for himself, and we all know Heavy C does not like that. The CPD wants to run like the Borg.
Free thinkers will be punished.
HEY SCC I WAS WATCHING THE NEWS THIS WEEK AND SAW EDDIE "I LIKE TO START FIGHTS WITH OFF DUTY P.O'S WORKING THEIR PART TIME AT THE POUND" JUMPING FOR JOY AFTER JUMPING THE FIRST HURDLE IN ORDER TO PASS A BILL THAT WOULD ALLOW ILLEGALS TO OBTAIN A DRIVERS LICENSE DID THIS GUY FORGET HE IS A POLICE OFFICER ONE AND TWO ARE YOU GOING TO POST AN ARTICLE ON THIS
Fact, Monique told the News Media to send her theirs tickets and she would fix them. First, if Monique does this she violates orders and the law. Can't fix tickets anymore. Second. if I ever get a parking ticket I am sending it right to Monique to fix with an excuse that the copper or meter maid who wrote it made a mistake. Sure I know she'll just throw it out, but what if every copper who got a ticket did the same thing. Monique would freak if she started getting a passel of tickets to "fix." I know the fine will be upped, but it would be worth it.
Fact, we would alllike to do to Abbate what Cline suggested. We would like to it to that rapist and child molester and wife beater too. BUT WE CAN'T and we can't say what we'd like to do to them. It is a CR and the outcome is a crap shoot. Next time I am accused of asying something, I am just going to say yeah I said it, but it was tounge in cheek, it was taken out of context. The Superintendent did it, why can't I? And that is what is wrong with what Cline said.
Do you think that Kline could use the baseball bat that Daley's kid used a few years ago in the Michigan brawl. Or did Daley's kid leave that bat at the apartment he shared with DeLeo and D'Arco offspring. That way it could stay all in the family.
To the moron who has 10 questions for cline: I can answer a few of them for you;
1. Cline never took the 5th in the Marquette case (although you repeatedly lie on here that he did)
2.Hanhardt was Cline's friend: Bill Hanhardt was Chief of Dets. Cline worked for him as did all Dets. They were never close friends (Although you repeatedly lie in here that they were)
3.Cline put a raccoon in Cmdr. Sams office: Cline was in Florida when that happened. 1000 miles away. (although you feel the need to keep lying on here about it)
4.Cline was a friend of Jon Burge?
Burge and Cline never were friends.
The Area 2 cases happened prior to Cline's being the Lt. there. (You knew that but feel the need to lie anout it)
And on and on, you pathetic lying weasel.
The 0514 blogger forgot one question for Marin to ask Cline...Why did you have a racoon tail hanging out of the ceiling in your office while you were the commander of Area 5 Detective Division. Perhaps a second question, what happened to the autographed picture with sentimental stuff written on it of Bill Hanhardt that you also kept on the wall in your office at A5.
Once again boys The Jefferson tap incident is all about lies. The CPD news affairs planted the story for SPIN, they were attempting to cover the ass of the connected. Why is this so hard for you tough guys to understand. We have observed this for years, Tubby boy Cline was already covering for them he reassigned the connected boys, then all hell broke loose. get a clue If this were a non connected officer (HE GONE )
I heard a rumor that Monique Bond likes to party

Grow up. I'm not a big fan of hers. But big fing deal.

hahaha...that was great....all serious as i read it then this......too funny
to: 4/01, 5:14 am....wow, grand slam with those questions; now, let's wait for the answers...
Mary Mitchell is so full of shit I get tired just hearing her name as if she could explain anything...in a journalistic manner.........FUCK YOU MARY MITCHELL......in Knoxville Tennesse 2 WHITE students are car jacked by 4 black men they are taken to a house.......the man is tortured,sodomizd,burned and shot....the woman is kept for two days raped repeatedly, bleach poured down her throat....cut into five pieces and put in the garbage...... Where is the press coverage??........zip....nada....nil.......its not fucking news because the victims were white........and by the way if your black......your chances of getting your ass beat by another black is far greater than by a white......so MARY MITCHELL..........take your racist, bullshit act somewhere else..............we already know you hate all white people.............fucking racist piece of shit............
#8 What are the criteria for merit promotions? Do you need an alderperson or another politician to step forward for you?
Aske ediie burke and carothers and the rest of the crew they promote whoever is "hooked up", that is the chicago way!
We rarely see a beat car in 016, let alone any tact or gang teams, but I heard there were a couple of sightings!
Area 5 Detectives conducted the initial investigation of the big robbery 10 years ago. Who was the Commander at the time and there was rumors that the lineup conducted was controlled to protect the prime suspect. It was also rumored that someone from Area 5 talked to someone at the SAO to prevent charges from being filed.
The Pawn Shop scandal will be great. They have seen numerous cops, streets and san. guys carrying numerous boxes of stolen products out the door, while on the clock. Come on Feds, break open the case.
myself and a few others were conversing and have come to the conclusion that it is time for mayor Rich Daley to take an I.Q. test to verify his level of intelligence. We believe he may be off the chart.
This department will never, ever be legit until it addresses its fundamental problems of illegitamacy.
1. A secret meritless promotion process in which promotions worth tens of thousands of dollars are given out in a process carried out in the Rat hole known as the secret merit selection committee. (If they are proud of their merit selections let the light of day shine onto this process.)
2. A culture that rewards failure. Example, the exempts and Lts. in charge of supervising SOS during the many years criminal activity were in every case promoted.
3. A culture in which Police Officers look the other way while criminal activity thrives in their midst. Example, all 300 Officers in SOS KNEW that JF was involved in criminal activity and they did NOTHING to stop him. Worse yet, they allowed 'rookies' come in and work with him. Shame.
These issues need to be addressed by a leader with integrity. We do not currently have that leader.
Please tell me this rumor is not true.
After the cleaning crew (home invading theives from SOS) were caught, CLINE sent their boss and his crack management team to the Academy to teach our recruits.
This can't be true.
Please tell me the Department has not sunk this low.
CW shouldn't have gone up to 025 and spoken to the troops there anyway. Since Cline opted to demote the W/C, he should have gone himself, and explained his actions in person.
I'm not sure if these points about the 25 thing have been mentioned yet: the Captain did not know Abbate was going out the back until he was already out the door. His desk Sgt. told him just as Abbate was driving away. AND the cars were ordered to secure the rear lot AFTER the guy was gone. The media did not even have a reason to go back there. Did they think he was sitting at the picnic table hangin' out? At the start of the day the traffic guy asked the Capt if he wanted the media shagged and the Capt said no, let them stay. He didn't know they were parked illegally tho.
Another tidbit: a disabled court advocate was ticketed also (one of several private cars written). She parked illegally because the FOX NEWS VAN was in the handicapped spot. It's a small lot, illegal parking makes it hazardous, and the traffic guy writes tickets there fairly often. He even gave the media a chance to move first. Are we only supposed to ticket ourselves now?
The Capt followed General Orders, the law and common sense. But the Supt wanted to sacrifice someone, and he chose the most stand-up guy I've ever worked for. And they refused to let him explain anything, refused to look at any facts. If they will do this to a Capt, none of us has a chance at due process. I hope the Capt comes out of this ok.
Hey, SCC. I've got a question for you? Where was big, bad DEPUTY CHIEF SAM C. when the whole 25th District court incident happened? Isn't his office IN the 25th District facility? WHY hasn't anyone asked this question before? Probably because big, bad Sam ran for cover so as not to jeopardize his chances for another promotion once the current upper-echelon exempts start running for cover and retiring. WAY TO GO, SAM! Nice of you to know what the hell is going on in a district under your supreme command.
But the mauling Obrycka took at the hands of an alleged drunken off-duty police officer will change the culture of the police department. Why? Because she's a white woman.

Hilarious!
2 police officers in Charlotte NC were murdered last night, this is the link to story so far.
Correct me if I am wrong, but aren't we "the police" paying Mark Donahue's salary? EVERYONE in FOP is being paid to represent "us" by "us". Mark Donahue's comments are like hiring an attorney who shows up in court and says, "my client is guilty". GREAT REPRESENTATION! Whatever happened to due process! Pulling the rug from under this Capt was wrong. The rank and file agree with the Capt's actions, Mr. Donahue, and you are paid to represent us, the rank and file. If you want to reside in CLINE'S pocket, leave your post and take a command spot somewhere on the department before your guy leaves! I for one want to pay someone who represents me and all my fellow officers, first and foremost! You are not hired to judge your members!
As far as Abate, we have a system of justice and he is entitled to it like everyone else. I hope he pays for his crime, but not the crime of the media. The section of the statute that elevated his crime to a felony, has NEVER been used against any citizen in the State of Illinois! Yes, the police do get special treatment. State Attorney's will not approve felony charges against the average citizen unless the victim is almost dead. As a citizen of Chicago, I find it reprehensible that if I'm a victim of a similar crime, the offender will only be charged with a felony if he is a police officer.
Hey, is it possible that if Illegals get drivers licenses, they will then be able to vote under the Motor Votor Laws? Does anyone out there see where the Democrat/Liberals are going here. It's not really about the driving, THINK ABOUT IT.
If what has been reported here and other places is true- the judge requested that Abatte the batterer be escorted out the back to spare his oh so sensitive felings, then the Sheriff should have handled the whole show. If they requested CPD then the Captain should have called a higher up for guidance. That was his mistake and that is what he did wrong. He just went along with a judge who has no control over that lot. He should have passed the buck upward and he would have still been a Captain in 025.
As to the rest, who cares. Look, thqat fat, drunken, pig caused his own problems and any pooch who tries to help him, shield him, or give him any kind of a break is a real moron. Let him do the perp walk. Let him be treated like any other criminal because that is what he is now- just another criminal- AKA the enemy.

wrong for 2 reasons...one it was caught on tape and viewed by millions two most of those shitheads desreved the beatings they got
Ruger and Beretta I will give you, but I have a Smith and SIG and both are good guns, like anything, clean them once in awhile to be safe...
In light of the recent happenings in our department, reading some of the opinions of those on this blog, and in an effort to bring back some needed moral, I’d like to see some of the following occur:
Officers returning to the street after working years inside should at least be given refresher courses on how we do things now. Heck, most officers returning from the war or medical, at least are given classes at the academy to re-acclimate them back into patrol.
We don't need sworn officers taking kids on field trips or giving seniors parties.
Let civilians do this if you insist on the practice.
Instead of beat meetings on a monthly basis, have sector meetings quarterly.
All non-essential office personnel from districts should be on the street at school dismissals period.
I would truly like to see the department make an effort to give every district and unit, new, and working PDT's. The equipment we have now is disgraceful.
Actually look at what specialized units we have in this department and determine if they’re needed or not. There are just too many to list here, but the redundancy is obvious if one examines the list.
Unless a traffic accident involves an injury, hit and run or DUI, have drivers exchange info and send them on their way. Insurance companies make their own decisions on fault anyway, so why are we wasting time on a civil matter?
The issuance of I-Bonds on the street. It’s insane to bring in or meet someone in the district station, taking an officer off the street for and hour or more, on a TVB, only to have another officer write the bond, or the officer himself, write the bond. We write them for incapacitated persons at hospitals, or even have the promise to comply option for out of state motorists. So why are we doing this? Suburban departments have been doing this for years. They even take cash bonds on the street, but I realize were not at that level yet.
Would someone at the academy make sure recruits have working passwords for the PDT’s, Hot Desk, and CLEAR systems before they hit the street? Is this to much to ask?
And finally, the merit process. If it’s something that’s legit, then explain the criteria for the merit process or eliminate it all together. If you insist on having it, make merit a one time deal.
If I could point out one thing in this department that is unraveling the core of moral, confidence and faith in our leaders, it’s the merit process.
Thanks all and be safe
We get 016 guys on saturday night in 015.
Question: At what point does that thin blue line stop? WC,DC,ADS?
I know the bosses know a lot of us live in 016, and I know the orders of redistribution come from pretty high up, but when an order comes out to take away our police protection I don't think that is an act of 'us' taking care of 'us' anymore. If we don't take care of each other...
When a government takes resources (police protection) from the people and intends to spread those resources evenly to all the people, it is called Communism. Wouldn't taking those resources from one group and give them to another be considered worse.
Maybe the likes of Mary Mitchell and Jesse Jackson will stand up against these Civil Rights violations. Oh wait, they are race-baiters that would not benefit from fighting against those violations. MLK would be disgusted with both of them.
Capt. MB did nothing wrong. CW came to 025 and stated, "a bad decision was made, the media are our friends and should have been given complete access." Donohue admitted that before his press release he did not speak to anyone at 025. So he takes what the media releases as the ultimate truth?? Doesn't he have enough sense to check the facts before speaking on our behalf???? The media was upset that they were not handed everything they wanted. Sounds to me like they were and are acting like a 5yr old throwing a tantrum, and it worked!!!!!!
Being retired is a great thing. Reaching 50 years of age is O.K. I have been reading this site for a while. Several of my friends both retired and still working told me to read this site. This is great! The washroom writers.
tony was a tact officer on 20. and was the REAL POLICE!
Since when does the Dept train anyone when they purchase a new gun???
If the Gun gets approved you will simply be required to register it and then qualify with it.
If it is not a 9mm or .38 Cal you will be required to purchase your own amunition.
Now tell me how any of the above costs the Dept one red cent???
Go ahead tell me that the ranges and the range officers will will be floooded with people wanting to qualify. O.K. you may be right.
But the ranges are open five days a week and are fully staffed. Unless it is the last month of Primary or auxilary weapons qualification, the ranges are for the most part empty.
This is long over due. I will be nice to see the ranges getting used by officers who have been out gunned in this city for years.
In my opinion forget about the .40 Cal. and get the .45 Cal. If you must have the .40 Cal. save your money as it offers no advantage over the 9mm.
The Police Dept. parking lots are clearly marked with signs. "POLICE AND AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY" Last time I checked the press was not on the list as AUTHORIZED Personnel.
As I have posted on this blog before, the Media and the lawyers dictate policy in this dept. not the SUP.
Where is Capt. MB now?
Tac in 020 is something to be proud of??
Why is it so secret regarding those involved in the Jefferson tap incident? Is it true a retired/deceased boss's son was involved? C'mon, give us the whole story. I'm not sticking up for the yuppy assholes, I'm sure they deverved what they got. Just want the truth here.

OH MY GOD!
Off topic, but go to YOU TUBE web site, and search on

VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION GUYS AND GALS!
For those of you who still like to go out and drink in bars and lounges, here is some information:
Our Supt. Phil Cline sent a letter to all alcohol licensed establishments in and AROUND Chicago. The letter was from his office and signed by the Supt. himself.
The letter requested that all license premise owners treat Chicago police officers as "Regular Citizens" and that no special treatment is afforded a person due to his police powers. This letter included but was not limited to the following:
Officers are NOT to have cover charges or admission charges waived due to their office.
Officers are not to be given complimentary drinks due to their office.
Any criminal, disorderly or intoxicated actions by an officer be reported to the proper police agency via 911.
Preserve ALL video or digital images captured by camera of the aforementioned types of actions.
As an old timer here, I have a suggestion. Don't pop the button at any lounge or bar to gain admission for free. Don't let them know your the police. Pay the few bucks now to get in the door and save thousands later. And DON'T drink anywhere where cameras can misinterpret your actions. Remember a lot of these video cameras have no audio recordings. So it only shows your actions.
Have fun, have drinks, have sex.... But please be careful, there is a bounty on coppers now. Partly due to Abbate and also our Supt.
Hey, a lot of constant bitching about mary mitchell and you are all right, she's a racist true to form. So here's an idea: STOP READING THE FUCKING SUN-TIMES!!! Spread the word and maybe, just maybe, that'll make a difference.
Ah fuck it, who am I kidding?!
The word morale is spelled with an E at the end. There is a big difference between moral and morale.
I thought you college kids were taught the basics of English composition while you went to school. The spelling, grammar and sentence compostion on this blog's postings can be horrible.
I also see it all the time on case reports, does anybody proofread their reports? Wait until you get cross examined and the defense attorney's only tactic is making fun of creative spelling, bad grammar and even worse handwriting.
Just some friendly advice from an old fart who never made it to college.
Change the name of this blog to Whiners.Com.
What an embarrassment to all working police officers if even half of these posts are from actual police officers.
Cry babys, whiners, back stabbers, stool pidgeons and pathetic losers.
6:21 PM
While your points are well taken, you must be the same guy that constantly misspells MORALE without the "e". Please check a dictionary for the difference between "moral" and "morale".
There's another guy that comes on and refers to Madison Street as Madison "Avenue". I have never heard any CPD member call Madison "Avenue". The guy must have been raised in Manhattan, NYC.

Couldn't agree with you more, granted I would be more proud to say I am 20 tact rather than saying I was on the elite 009th district tac team or the B-Team
Captain MB is a "I am smarter than everyone else" total piece of shit IAD scumbag who deserves a good fucking, but not this time. And it pains me to write this, but he did not deserve it. He did nothing wrong.
You guys need to grow up. If you want to play games with the media and get caught, you deserve what you get. The Capt. was wrong. This Abbate character did not deserve any special treatment, Police or not. He caused so much harm to this department, and on top of it all this a Capt. is demoted because he tried to accomadate this idiot.
You 2 year on the job donkeys don't get it...nothing should be personal on this job...shitheads will always be shitheads. Go put more gel in your hair, don your leather gloves and earrings. We're not impressed.
Where is Capt. MB now?
Furlough for now-- but MAY retire after as a Capt and not have to deal with being a LT. Just a rumor-- but a good source.
10:38 PM
Thanks for sharing, BOSS.
MB was sent to 014.
11:15:00 PM
nice try troll.
i do believe police are sworn to impartially enforce laws. since when is the media allowed to park in handicapped parking spots?
if the police didn't enforce those laws, would you be setting them up for an "exclusive"?
VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION GUYS AND GALS!
For those of you who still like to go out and drink in bars and lounges, here is some information:
Our Supt. Phil Cline sent a letter to all alcohol licensed establishments in and AROUND Chicago. The letter was from his office and signed by the Supt. himself.
The letter requested that all license premise owners treat Chicago police officers as "Regular Citizens" and that no special treatment is afforded a person due to his police powers. This letter included but was not limited to the following:
Officers are NOT to have cover charges or admission charges waived due to their office.
Officers are not to be given complimentary drinks due to their office.
Any criminal, disorderly or intoxicated actions by an officer be reported to the proper police agency via 911.
Preserve ALL video or digital images captured by camera of the aforementioned types of actions.
As an old timer here, I have a suggestion. Don't pop the button at any lounge or bar to gain admission for free. Don't let them know your the police. Pay the few bucks now to get in the door and save thousands later. And DON'T drink anywhere where cameras can misinterpret your actions. Remember a lot of these video cameras have no audio recordings. So it only shows your actions.
Have fun, have drinks, have sex.... But please be careful, there is a bounty on coppers now. Partly due to Abbate and also our Supt.
Not true......
To 4/01/2007: I concur with all your Cline comments except #4. Cline and Burge are not friends. They never were, in fact they dislike each other greatly.

Burge has too much class to like Cline.
Ask Cline about drinking with the movie star on Western Ave Robert D.
Cline drunk in Foxes . Late 70's
You guys need to grow up. If you want to play games with the media and get caught, you deserve what you get. The Capt. was wrong. This Abbate character did not deserve any special treatment, Police or not. He caused so much harm to this department, and on top of it all this a Capt. is demoted because he tried to accomadate this idiot.

You are a piece of shit. The media has no right to be in that back lot.....period. It is for authorized personnel only. Not to mention the fact that they parked in a handicapped spot, and there was a prisoner bus on the side of the building. MB has always acted in a professional manner and this time was no different.
For the person that said MB is an IAD piece of shit......try doing your job correctly and you wouldn't have to worry about it. MB is one of the best bosses on this job. He actually cares about his people. He called me at home when I was on IOD to make sure I was okay.....and he wasn't my W/C. If you make an honest mistake and need help, he will be the first to step up and help you. I know, I have experienced it personally. But, if you are an asshole and are intentionally doing stupid shit, he will nail you for it........which is the way it should be.

As an officer who was fu*ked by the media he is a way they set you up! They high young college interns at the station/paper and they tell them what type of story they want (Set up the police), and then if the intern is successful they get a job offer and a nice cash bonus! So beware we are a very hot commodity now and "our friends" the press will screw in a heartbeat!
Just go to the old man corner tap, no cover charges, no cameras.

The academy has the crack crew from SOS to train the recruits. Academy is now considered SOS east. Exempts need a place to hide friends and academy is a great place to hide. Teflon is amazing.
Ok Here's how it works. On the county side of an area court, CPD has no immediate juristiction. CC sheriffs run it with the judge making any ultimate decisions. If Abbate was allowed to exit by anything other than the front door, it was let happen by CCSP.
You have to ask urself....every half intelligent newsperson knows this as well as any other obbserver yet they omitt it. WHY?
They park illegally in a parking space that the sun-times plastered all over the front of their paper a few weeks ago, yet with controversial tickets written....not one other media outlet (that I see) has admitted that their vehicles were illegal. Nice form of honest reporting!
Our media can not be trusted to give the whole truth.....never trust them.
Believe when I say that having written that, I am saddened for the state of our democracy.
God bless CPD,,stay safe

Bullshit, you can spot a young suburban loser kid trying to be streetwise a mile away. Arrest these interns on bribery charges or whatever crime they're going to commit.
And on and on, you pathetic lying weasel.

tony was a tact officer on 20. and was the REAL POLICE!

Stop. He worked the thrid watch, dickhead.
Who cares whether or not Abbate was a tact officer or not? One thing we can all pretty much agree upon is that he is indeed, AN ASSHOLE.
Huberman will not be the Supt.His boyfriend landed a big job in Atlanta,as a news caster.He is probably going to go.He is promised to get a good job there also.You heard it here.Love is a beautiful thing.
