Nah Nah Hey Hey Goodbye

Cortez Trotter, who has taken more than a few beatings in various comment sections regarding mismanagement and squandering of training opportunities for the city's first responders, is resigning:
  • Chief Emergency Officer Cortez Trotter abruptly resigned today, leaving Chicago with vacancies or lameducks in three jobs crucial to the city’s ability to handle a disaster or terrorist attack.

    Trotter’s resignation from the $167,700-a-year job created just for him was delayed until after the mayoral election.
If only we had friends who could magically create $167,700-a-year jobs just for us. Trotter's reign was punctuated by a "stinging" Federal rebuke on preparedness - almost none of which has been corrected to our knowledge - and preceded by a critical misstep in building search and rescue during the County Building fire that resulted in the deaths of 6 people.

The truly amazing thing about Trotter's retirement? He's going to work for the emergency management and crisis team of James Witt - the same James Witt who investigated the critical missteps that resulted in the deaths of 6 people in the County Building fire that forced Fire Commissioner James Joyce out and resulted in the mayor creating Trotter's spot.

UPDATE: This is even more of an indication of how out of touch the emergency management people are:
  • [Regarding the evacuation drill held last year] He added, "It's no small feat to evacuate over 3,000 people during the height of the business day and come back with some true lessons learned and re-write the city's entire Central Business District evacuation plan. We've tried to build on this culture of preparedness. . . . It's been a very productive year."
3,000 people is what? A quarter percent of the downtown business population? Less? And the Tribune published photos of building security propping open exit doors and passing out water bottles and goodie bags. And the feds monitoring the drill?
  • But what about the stinging federal critique? It cited a "fragmented regional communications infrastructure" with "insufficient channels for joint operations," prompting many first-responders to use their personal cell phones.
We guess Trotter meant "productive" in terms of his investment portfolio after doing next to nothing to earn his $167,000 aside from press releases blaming the feds for the drill shortcomings.

A real political hack with no knowledge or education to back him up. As Commish, it was common knowledge on 35th St that none of his deputies could be on vacation at the same time in case something went down. He had no clue how to run a incident!!

TRUE STORY / OFF TOPIC:
Last night around 1130 pm I was driving from Wisconsin and decided to stroll through the Gold Star Police Memorial. As I approached the fountain I looked down and stared at the bricks looking for my families name. Just then I noticed a reflection in the water of the fountain and as I turned and looked I observed a man in full CPD dress Blues wearing a "bobby" helmet, and also had a night-stick on his belt.
I followed him down the path towards the Police Memorial Wall and he looked back once and I saw he had a mustache and his CPD patch on his jacket wasn't like the ones we have now, it was much smaller. I was about 7 feet from him when he entered the entrance of the Police Wall and as I turned the corner he was GONE. A huge gust of wind came as I was standing there as a chill went through my bones. I ran out of there into the darkness until my legs felt like jello. (remember as a kid running up the stairs as if someone was chasing you but no-ones there)I tried to scream ...but no sound would come out of my mouth. Who was that strange, nostalgic man wearing that uniform and where did he go? I have been a Police officer for 9 years and the last time I had an unexplained event happen to me was when I was 6 years old and it involved a UFO. I called a friend of mine to review the camera pods that are at the Police memorial Wall and at that time/date she said there was a strange light but nothing else. I just wanted to share my story and possibly see if anyone had a similar sighting. God Bless you all and I know now that someone is watching over us...and our fallen brothers and sisters.

OH God!

I just had a terrible thought.

Charlie Williams might take Trotter's spot. If that happens, being unprepared for disaster will become official policy of the police, fire and all other city departments.

No one will have equipment, training or communications. But, we will have lots of meetings, and missions and events numbers.

We are so screwed!

When Trotter first got the fire comisioner job someone pointed out that his level of education consisted of a high school diploma. Period. When asked about that he responded that he was "working" on getting a college degree. I don't know whether or not he eventually got that degree. What I do know is there were at least a dozen high ranking officials in the fire department that were more qualified for the job. But they were white. Only in Chicago.

SCC, how could you of all people miss out on this news strory!!! Oh yeah its no where in the news in Slum-Cago. This story was carried by Fox news hannity and Colmes last night, (Fr?) Pleger and Jesse jackass were having a no violence gun violence rally and Pleger grabbed the microphone and addressed the large african american crowd with this:"Frank Rigggio is the owner of " " gun shop. We are gonna SNUFF him out! We are gonna treat him like a rat on the street and SNUFF him out!" The crowd cheered and hailed their great fake white leader. Sean hannity as well as I were amazed that this stroy was not carried at all in Crap-cago??? A man of the cloth just basically incited a crowd to put a legal street hit out on a man federally licensed to sell firearms, legally! The gun woners lawyer was on the show and said that he was outraged he sells firearms with a federal license, its his leagl job. Where is the church in all this? I wrote a letter immediately to Cardinal George stating I wont walk into a Chicago catholic church ever again with my kids if this rogue priest is not dicsiplined, isnt that the word pleger throws around at the police?? I wrote my kids wont attend Chicago catholic schools until this is addressed. I wrote that I shook off all the other wild things this man has done in the name of the Holy Spirit (like when he was ordered to change parishes like every other priest and he called the church racist).
I remember meeting Pleger once at the African fest in washinton park, my tact team and I were sitting on a park bench on post when pleger walked by with his 10 black followers. He stopped by our group and looked at us and shook his head and smacked his lips in disgust at the white police sitting around.

Anyone happen to catch Anderson Cooper's 360 last night on CNN??
24Hours in Chicago,Cops,Kids and Racism. A deadly Lesson.

http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/anderson.cooper.360/blog/

Very interesting story. Daley actually stuck up for the police and blamed society and the parents.

Its interesting when he was showing video clips of the kids in school and on the corners. OMG look how they act and then they have the nerve to turn it into a race issue. Go into a white,or mixed school or neighborhood for that matter and tell me if you see kids hanging from fences and jumpin around like animals. Walkin the streets at 10p when they should be home doing homework or in bed. Or how about this instead of standing on the corner,stay home and help your mother around the house,or apartment start inside the home and work your way UP. The white kids have what they have because their parents were parents and there are plenty of single white moms that manage to raise a kid and live in a decent suburb or nighborhood.

Man I could go on and on and on. The problem begins at home,not with the police. The police do not get paid enough to babysit and should not have to keep track of their children.
Theres no excuse for their behavior between all their Aunties,couzins,grand ma,grand pa etc someone should have taught them some manners and disicipline.

A fight broke out at a funeral home at 78th and Cottage Grove during a wake for the son of a Chicago police officer, authorities said. The incident started when alleged gang members began flashing gang signs and threatening each other at the funeral home, officials said. The off-duty officer told them to "take it outside," and was punched, police said. A number of people were reportedly arrested.

In the days when CPD wore grey felt "Bobby" helmets, we did not have shoulder patches at all. I don't think shoulder patches came in until the 1940s. However, the cap shields from the Bobby helmets remained the same with the soldered numbers until just recently.

Last night around 1130 pm I was driving from Wisconsin and decided to stroll through the Gold Star Police Memorial. As I approached the fountain I looked down and stared at the bricks looking for my families name. Just then I noticed a reflection in the water of the fountain and as I turned and looked I observed a man in full CPD dress Blues wearing a "bobby" helmet, and also had a night-stick on his belt.
I followed him down the path towards the Police Memorial Wall and he looked back once and I saw he had a mustache and his CPD patch on his jacket wasn't like the ones we have now, it was much smaller. I was about 7 feet from him when he entered the entrance of the Police Wall and as I turned the corner he was GONE. A huge gust of wind came as I was standing there as a chill went through my bones. I ran out of there into the darkness until my legs felt like jello. (remember as a kid running up the stairs as if someone was chasing you but no-ones there)I tried to scream ...but no sound would come out of my mouth. Who was that strange, nostalgic man wearing that uniform and where did he go? I have been a Police officer for 9 years and the last time I had an unexplained event happen to me was when I was 6 years old and it involved a UFO. I called a friend of mine to review the camera pods that are at the Police memorial Wall and at that time/date she said there was a strange light but nothing else. I just wanted to share my story and possibly see if anyone had a similar sighting. God Bless you all and I know now that someone is watching over us...and our fallen brothers and sisters.
(just for everyones information I was driving 3 hours from Wisconsin and had NOTHING to drink last night)

___________________________

Good evening, I am not a police officer (although I thank God for what you people do every day)I am a grounds keeper that does the lake front and the Blue Star Memorial Park. Seeing that I can't be the only crazy person to have something weird happen to me I would like to share my story. As the park was in it's late stages of completion I was getting the soil prepared for the new sod and as I was driving away I spotted the "old Timer" in uniform. What striked me odd was the police helmet he wore. He was walking through my prepared soil and as I yelled out to him he never stopped or said anything back -I drove away. The next morning I noticed a pair of shoe tracks where I spotted him the night before. The tracks went for about 10 feet into the mud and just stopped. NO signs of tracks leading out or back....just stopped. Sounds impossible? Yeah I thought so too.

OFF TOPIC: Keeping with the long honored tradition of CPD Brass Lacking Intestinal Fortitude and a set of BALLS! JR and WG dump 6 from SOS. Instead of disbanding the unit and starting from scratch with the cluless 3yr wonders that are applying there now(doing "real police work" getting that one bag of weed in the DOC) You let the innocent suffer for the sins of a few. Dragging the reputations of honest hard-working po's through the gutter in the name of "reform". You killed morale and took the fun out of what was once a great job. These cowards knew what was going on but allowed it to continue the Chicago Way (The rules don't appply to the connected.....but we will make an example out of the rest. The hammer will fall on those with no clout.) These 6 men were great coppers the last of a dying breed, the kind that actually make physical arrests of real criminals(and get this they are usually outside the DOC) Join the rest of us who left or were dumped boys, and tell the last coppers from the "Old SOS" to turn the lights out when they leave.

From what I heard. In SOS if a cop gets info on drugs or gun stashed somewhere, they have to notify their sgt. The sgt has to go talk to the informant before they can recover anything, and do a report. The officers called their Lt., who told them it was ok to recover the gun, and to let their sgt. know. The rest is history. This may not be 100% accurate. As you state no one gets dumped for no reasons, but there are sure some bullshit reasons. Good luck to the officers involved, and justice to those involved in getting them dumped.

How can he get a pension from a job he held for only two years?

6/01/2007 01:19:00 PM

Lets get your facts right, you only can collect one city pension. Look at the pension statutes.

Yes but he will collect one pension from the Firemens Pension fund and will collect a second pension for is Chief Dildo position which will be tied into the state fund that electic officials recive theid money from. So therefor he is not really collecting 2 "city" pensions

On the subject of the leader of 022, you know he is a political hack when he didnt get dumped after his two personal tac men got busted taking money from the feds. He spent a lot of time discussing things with these two idiots and would always rave at what great cops they are. I guess birds of a feather.

garrity is great boss---down to earth--a great people person! You who write shit about him have no clue what you are talking out---you obviously are jealous because you never had the privilege of working for such an outstanding boss!
All the nonsense po's garrity has to put up with because of their "clout" its amazing he is able to get anything accomplished cause many of the "clout babies" are whiners. But he succeeds, even with all the "clout babies"

TRUE STORY / OFF TOPIC:
Last night around 1130 pm I was driving from Wisconsin and decided to stroll through the Gold Star Police Memorial. As I approached the fountain I looked down and stared at the bricks looking for my families name. Just then I noticed a reflection in the water of the fountain and as I turned and looked I observed a man in full CPD dress Blues wearing a "bobby" helmet, and also had a night-stick on his belt.
I followed him down the path towards the Police Memorial Wall and he looked back once and I saw he had a mustache and his CPD patch on his jacket wasn't like the ones we have now, it was much smaller. I was about 7 feet from him when he entered the entrance of the Police Wall and as I turned the corner he was GONE. A huge gust of wind came as I was standing there as a chill went through my bones. I ran out of there into the darkness until my legs felt like jello. (remember as a kid running up the stairs as if someone was chasing you but no-ones there)I tried to scream ...but no sound would come out of my mouth. Who was that strange, nostalgic man wearing that uniform and where did he go? I have been a Police officer for 9 years and the last time I had an unexplained event happen to me was when I was 6 years old and it involved a UFO. I called a friend of mine to review the camera pods that are at the Police memorial Wall and at that time/date she said there was a strange light but nothing else. I just wanted to share my story and possibly see if anyone had a similar sighting. God Bless you all and I know now that someone is watching over us...and our fallen brothers and sisters.

The guy who wrote the last comment on gartity must be garrity himself or his little side gig blond secretary who is afaid she will wind up on the street and who is scared of her own shadow thats why she is sucking ass to capt. rw in 005 because she thinks shes the next commander of 022 and wants to secure her little spot safe and sound inside making her own hours. Dont worry soph, sooner or later you will have to face the street chicken shit.
