Why an Outsider Will Never WIn

  • The New York cop who was a surprise finalist for Chicago police superintendent in 2003 said Wednesday he will not apply for the job being vacated by Phil Cline because the last search was an inside job.

    Garry McCarthy said he's got his hands full rebuilding the Newark, N.J., police department "from scratch" after rising to deputy police commissioner of operations in a 25-year career in New York City.

    But McCarthy said also he's sour about his last Chicago experience.

And the funniest part?
  • "I thought it was fascinating that Mayor Daley took a whole lot of notes at my interview and, when I spoke to Phil [Cline], he told me the mayor took no notes during his interview," McCarthy said.

    Asked if he believes the Police Board and Daley picked his brain with no intention of choosing him, McCarthy said, "They may have. They seem to have an awful lot of New York-type ideas.
If that doesn't epitomize the entire Department thinking for the past 7 to 10 years, we don't know what does.

I disagree, very likely, Richie M. Daley will choose an outsider for Superintendent.

Why not, his daddy did when he picked O.W. Wilson in 1960 during scandals. So why not do that now and appear to be really cleaning house by screwing all the coppers possible. He wants to destroy morale, comraderie and the "police culture." What he wants is 13,000 revenue raising robots.

Daley could pick a puppet, somebody absolute unknown, somebody beholding to no one. Their only qualification, to be absolutely ruthless with the brass and the cops. That and to quietly follow the orders of the mayor as told to him/her by his puppetmaster
Hubberman.

Stop and think for a minute. The last outsider we had, OW Wilson, caused so much grief and spent so much money that Daley Sr. was constantly in a fit. Nothing changed. The cops did what they always did, just differently and life went on.

All these names being touted- Btatton, Timoney, and others are not and have never been real Policemen. They have been office pooches their whole careers. They have ruined some of the Departments that they took over and morale has suffered at others.

Bringing in some mercenary outsider will ruin this Department and you people will cry and complain more and even louder. in effect, outsider, we don't need no stinking outsiders.

I can assure all that within the hour, the Newark P.D. is now aware of this blog and thread. I did NOT speak with Director (chief) Garry McCarthy.

Suffice to say, Newark P.D. brass will also know that "da mare" of Chicago is one piece of work.

P.S.: I also learned that Newark, the largest city in NJ and directly across the Hudson River from Manhattan, also has a web site:

www.NewarkSpeaks.com

At this time, I do not know if that site is for official "Kool-Aid" supplements (a la "Checkerboard Chat") or comparable to the NYPD RANT or our own inimitable SCC.

I also understand that both LAPD Chief William Bratton and NYPD Commissioner Raymond Kelly are aware that the CPD's "nationwide selection search" is the consummate bullshit dog and pony show.

I'd put my money on a Spanish-speaking, black lesbian "insider" wearing knee pads and a lobster bib with little or no actual experience as "the REAL PO-leese".

"Outsiders" NEED NOT APPLY!

There is no doubt that an outsider should be brought in, but the "best" choice for any city in America is Bratton. Success has followed him wherever he went.

For those that don't think an outsider should be brought in because of Chicago's "unique" policing characteristics, wake up. Chicago is an utter and complete failure. Hiring, promotion, statistics, reputation in the public and the media, tactics, preventative ability, you name it. The last time Chicago was considered a leader in anything was under O.W. Wilson, and that guy's theories only sank Chicago (and the cities that followed) into a big hole in the long run. But its not that Chicago needs someone to adjust to the CPD. The CPD needs to adjust to the modern world.

As an aside, Timoney has issues in both Philly and Miami. Personally, I admire the guy, but there were a few problems with cooked stats or something if my recollection is correct.

Nope. Bratton is the guy Chicago should be going for if Chicago wants leadership. It won't happen because Chicago doesn't want leadership, it wants a puppet. A drunk, a mumbler, an old boy, a wanna-be, or whatever else any of the Superintendents have been for the last 40 years. The process is doomed before it begins.

Considering the pathetic reality of the circumstances in Chicago, anyone who even considers applying for Superintendent of Police is either:

I don't think it's so much loyalty thats rewarded,I think it's all about control, as in who can "he" (who's name is too evil to mention here) control to the point that there will be no original thought or action implemented by the puppet figure head without direct orders.
What we need is a strong leader that knows this job and who can act on his own without fear of retribution from the evil one,I just don't see one here.All are beholden to their clout,positions on the job,family ties,or politics.I would welcome an outsider to lead this dept.however I know this will not happen,there is too much (absolute) control from the mayor.There is no room for a good leader to lead with a free hand here.Does this remind you of anyone in the past?A certain person who ruled with an iron fist and would not tollerate any other opinion,even from professionals.We need a Patton but we will get a Mcclellon,a spineless milksop.
The better answer here is to rid ourselves of the one who actually controlls this dept.however,he has just won another landslide(but false) election.Was there any real compettition there?No, there was not and for the same reason we will have yet again another puppet figure head to "lead" this dept.

Hon. Richard M. Daley
Mayor - City of Chicago
City Hall - Suite 507
121 N. LaSalle Street
Chicago, Illinois 60602

Dear Mayor Daley,

You may recall my EXAMSCAM letter(*) which I forwarded to you on behalf of 606(#) other sergeants on April 18, 1990.

I provided you with incontrovertible, "smoking gun" evidence that you had inherited the worst police promotion scandal in U.S. history from the late Harold Washington and his protegee, LeRoy Martin.

Your "reforms" have since taken us a long, long way in seventeen years.

Since your integrity is above reproach and you are initiating a "nationwide selection process" (Is that like one of your "blue-ribbon panels"?), I have the utmost confidence that in your discerning wisdom, you will choose a new superintendent of police consistent with Chicago's standards of excellence and professionalism--a "copper's cop", if you will.

While I am deeply honored by your offer, I find myself with "a full plate" of errands, household chores and world travel in the foreseeable future.

Unfortunately, I must therefore decline your invitation to serve as YOUR superintendent of the Chicago Police Department (CPD).

Yours truly,

(Sgt.) John Northen (Ret.)
Chicago Police Department

P.S.: Do pass on my warmest regards to Mr. Peter "Judas" Karl.

FOOTNOTES:
(*)CERTFIED U.S. MAIL ITEM P 433 513 333 received by "J.Scanlon" on April 19, 1990.

(#)606 = more than 93% of the white, black, Hispanic and Asian CPD sergeants, both genders, who were victims of "the Father of EXAMSCAM", LeRoy Martin.

The City never liked the police and never will. No good news ever comes from the police department. If someone gets locked up it took too long to do it, and why didnt you prevent the crime in the first place. If the police act the fool they get headlines that are never favorable. No good news ever comes from the police. Cline had a good point for whatever reason we were down 600 murders and 9000 aggravated batts. Is that news? No its just the police doing their job every day. Many recall that not too long ago you could not bid out of a shithole, simply because openings were never decleared. If you dont like where you are bid out. I havent seen this many openings every period ever. Even sergeants can bid now.

7:34, you couldn't be more wrong about a few things:

>>Stop and think for a minute. The last outsider we had, OW Wilson, caused so much grief and spent so much money that Daley Sr. was constantly in a fit. Nothing changed. The cops did what they always did, just differently and life went on.<<

O.W. Wilson put the police in cars and created or expanded 9-1-1 to the point it is today. That, and the fact that cars are more comfortable than sleet, rain, hail and snow, were the end of the police being familiar with the neighborhoods. They were also the end of the police spending 8 hours walking (or in a few cases driving) around collecting money. Believe it, my grandpappy retired when it all started, and he didn't work in no Summerdale. The culture back then was largely about getting paid.

9-1-1 and cars were a disaster for all who took that route though. In the end, it just fed the culture of corruption, laziness and stupidity in Chicago and elsewhere. How many thousands of times have you heard your modern day fellow police officers compare themselves to secretaries and social workers for the people who least deserve services? Thank O.W. Wilson. And the brass today and for forty years since? These dumb motherfuckers couldn't get it through their thick skulls until what happened in NYC and Boston in the early '90s was POUNDED in. How many times did they have to read that NYC had fewer homicides despite having 3X the population before they realized that maybe that talk about NYC and Boston might have something to it.

>>All these names being touted- Btatton, Timoney, and others are not and have never been real Policemen. They have been office pooches their whole careers. They have ruined some of the Departments that they took over and morale has suffered at others.<<

The numbers speak for themselves under Evans (now in England) and Bratton. You might be a "real" police officer, but you and a million clones of you couldn't thug your way into the reductions that NYC, Boston saw and LA is now seeing. Chicago's reductions, insofar as it is at all attributable to the department, is entirely resultant to Chicago's brass copying what they could from the NYC model. Amazing to see "accountability" recognized as if it was a brand new invention.


>>Bringing in some mercenary outsider will ruin this Department and you people will cry and complain more and even louder. in effect, outsider, we don't need no stinking outsiders. <<

Maybe not you. Maybe not the corrupt bosses, or the thousands of do-nothing secretaries. Maybe not the mayor or the clout-whores. Maybe not the reverends and the race-baiters. Maybe not the crack whores and the lawyers who rake in millions on misconduct allegations. But taxpayers? Honest police officers? Good citizens? They need an outsider. They need someone to come in and demote all exempts back to lieutenant and then put 150 of them on third watch in 007. Let these people who have been stealing their salaries for years and decades go and follow their own procedures. And then let the outsider put everyone else wherever he or she wants doing whatever he or she wants.

Things won't be right until every last one of these old useless fucks is gone. But yeah, I can see how there are a lot of people, both in the CPD and outside, who would shit their pants the first day someone told them that the old days are over.

How the fuck could WGN make a mistake that BIG? They obviously should have said Terry Abbate but they don't have a tape of that incident. After they made this incorrect statement they went to a scene with the reactions to this decision by the Public defenders office and then to a group of shit heads who want to form their own watchdog unit to investigate abuse allegations. WGN is using this Abbate FUCK to hurt all of US COPS. WGN was contacted about the mistake and they responded " we make a comment later on in the broadcast that it was Terry not Tony. YEAH but the damage was done and people think the worst. They put together this 10 minute piece on their broadcast without checking the facts? or they did it knowing it was wrong so they could get the affect they wanted from the citizens of Chicago. #10

How about this from a letter to the editor in the Sun Times:

These million-dollar awards that are going to victims of police brutality ought to be coming out of the police retirement fund. If they had to pay for their own mistakes, I bet things would be corrected much quicker and wouldn't be ignored like they are now

*****************
Man! The creep who wrote this shows how screwed up society is becoming. Most folks on a pension have worked a full career under horrible circumstances and come thru it. This jerk wants to punish the retirees for the failings of a few bad eggs.
also we should say a big thank you to the scum-times for making sure that of all the precious lil messages sent to them, they made sure to publish an attack on another portion of our family.
Whatever you do, never, ever trust the media. Even the "good ones" will turn on a dime if it benefits them.
The media has its own agenda and its clearly not about honesty. Stay Safe.

HOW CAN THE CITY KEEP PROTECTING THIS GUY??? Former Commander Matthew's son, you may remember the father and son duo....the son( a self admitted gang member) was caught with a gun and fought with the 19th dist. police last year. Former Commander now Lt. Matthews stormed into the 19th Dist station with his other son who is a southside copper and ruffed up the desk crew. Well now the same son who got caught with the gun was caught trying to steal a car in 23rd dist. The officers said he was pulling on the car door handles of about 10 different cars until the police stopped him. They performed a field interview and a protective pat down revealed a set of squad car keys with the metal tag with the car number on it. The car # came back to a 10th Dist. squad car that belongs to the CAPS office. Guess who is the CAPS Lt. in the 10th Dist? Give up? Former Commander now LT. Matthews. He was dumped to 10th Dist and know body wanted to be the CAPS LT. so they gave it to him. Well Lt. Matthews pulled some strings and made some calls or asked for some favors and his son was released without charging( makes sense ... he never broke into the car) but you can charge him with theft of lost or mis laid property!! Now you are probably thinking ...well at least you get to file a CR# on LT. Matthews right? .............................NOT!! Nothing was done to his son or Lt. Matthews. His son got to go home and sleep in his own bed and Lt. Matthews simply received a phone call telling him to keep an eye on his car keys. UNBELIEVEABLE!!!!!! If that was any of us lowly P.O.'s we would have been screwed. Why do the bosses keep helping this moron and his gangster son.

There has always been teams that have been assigned to what they call hot sposts now. Flying squad, gangs north, south, west, tactical teams, whatever you call it its the same shit. The way you get into these elite units has always been the same too its who you know. Once you get there if you are not a complete fuck up and you do the bare minimum you dont get dumped.

Nice how the media and this schiester Eckls are hanging the TRU PO's for the shoot of the "undocumented worker."

Now the States Attorney has re-opened the case.

Oh, and according to the news we are now one step closer to a CIVILIAN REVIEW BOARD.

A note to Mayor Daley:
For the past seven years I have been an aggressive PO who has done it right by the book.

I, and many of my fellow PO's, are now going to do the bare minimum. No more than handeling our jobs. That's it.
I am not risking my house/freedom when this is how we are getting treated.

HEY MORON,
Half of the police department lives in Mount Greenwood. They all drive through Evergreen Park. Nobody ever has a problem. Many have been given a ride home when they were too "tired" to drive.If your kid got a ticket, you apparently were not there when it happened. They have ALWAYS been good to us.

That means that Da Soup's sudden BIS enforcement in the wake of the SOS scandal is B.S., get it? In the typical "Chicago Way" jelly belly decided to take punitive disciplinary actions on the uninvolved and most importantly the "Un-Heavy" (no clout). That's why when this current expansion of B.I.S. was begun, all the alleged "Heavies" were kept out of the program until one of the ultimate clout babies (brass) downtown with a half of a brain figured DaMare might get mad if they lost another major lawsuit based on clout. Those fellas are hard working real police whose only fault is that their heads arent shoved up any boss's/alder*&^$'s ass. PhatPhil showed his true colors when he said that it's a myth that working police get C.R. #'s. Way to stab us in the back, pal.

For the last freaking time, Abbate was charged with Agg Batt due to little used "battery in a public place of accommodation (ie. any business other than a government run business)" part of the Agg Batt statute. Also, Andrews will make a great street deputy as I have seen him put out many fires in the past. Salemme will be good and is very knowledgeable about what is available to assist Det.'s due to his time in cold case and intel.

Regarding the cars being taken away from CHA special employment - the officers have done this to themselves. They have been sleeping, reading newspapers, and watching movies. Had the only gotten out of the vans, stood in the corners of the building when they said they were doing walk downs - this would not have happened. So look at who you have been working with and complain the them. For the money they are paying us, I will not complain.

As far as FOP doing something about it - don't hold your breath. Their response is that it is not a mandatory job for us and if we feel it is a "safety issue" then don't work it. I agree with them. There are a lot of officers who have wanted to work it, but have been unable. Now perhaps they will get that opportunity and some actual policing will be done.

Twice in the last 2 weeks there have been shootings in Cabrini. No special employment cars on the jobs, no one responded, no one heard shots fired??? Where were they. The sergeant must answer to the Commander, the Commander must answer to the Deputy and so on.....so if you don't like it don't work it.

As to votes of no confidence, why not take one on the FOP? They are soooooooooooooo totally useless.

Regarding the loss of vehicles for the people working Special Employment in CHA. Last post was correct about doing it to yourselves. I've been on assist calls where the special van with 4 people in it sat while officers fought with people 50 feet away. This was after a call for help came out.

Nothing wrong with Capt. Kevin Anderson. If you have a beef with the man, at least be man enough to tell him to his face, don't do it the cowardly way here, anonymously, on the blog.
Kevin has been the real police. As a Sgt. he showed up on the scene of a vicious fight I had going on with a guy that I couldn't gain control of. It took 5 of us to get this jailhouse musclebound prick down and into a pair of cuffs. Anderson was my Sgt., and threw in everything he had. A true gentleman, and when needed to be, a great backup. So you got denied some ot, and you want to come here and bash the man...jeez.

I have been on the job (CPD) for 11 years now...and had three years in the burbs prior to that.

I have never, ever had a problem with E.P. PD.

I hate to say it, but if your kid got a ticket, your kid more likely than not deserved it. I know it is a hard pill to swallow - but do it.

Talk to any cop who has worked in 8, 16, or 22. Some of the worst people on T/S are CPD's kids...worse than A LOT of the savages.

So please do not start anything w/o making sure your "house" is in order first.
