Note to Tiny Brains

To the softball that keeps saying we're a "douchebag" for censoring his BS.

Some person is bitching about getting censored more often than not in the comment sections. For their benefit, we are posting this primer on how to get posted regularly on this blog.

First up, as stated numerous times before, we publish between 100 and 250 comments a day, and we publish upwards of 98% of submissions - at last count it was something like 98.7%. Almost every single one is anonymous. We have no way of telling who anyone is unless they chose a moniker and stick with it, like Rue St. Michel, Westcide, and others. So if you aren't getting published, it's because of your content.

We give everyone miles of leeway here. MILES of it. Off topic subjects, constant rumor mongering, speculation to the extreme. There are certain lines we try not to cross and certain words that get your comment flushed into the great Internet void.
  • In memorial threads concerning officers hurt or dead, anything that isn't related to well wishes or prayers gets flushed.
  • Gratuitous attacks on certain races, genders or behaviors get extra scrutiny. The word "savage" in just about any context except when used to describe behavior usually gets trashed. Just about any reference to "rhymes with Lunt" to describe females will never see the light of day. Everyone in the city who pays attention knows Huberman is gay - big deal. If he isn't doing you, who gives a rat's ass? We've published entire lists of words that are banned along with subjects that we've just gotten sick of (like the B Team and Area 2 Gun Team). Go through our archives and find them.
  • For the most part, bosses are fair game. They are public figures and there is no expectation of privacy for public figures. Their missteps are fodder for speculations on the site and recent State and Federal Supreme Court rulings provide legal protections for comments NOT posted by blog operators.
  • Out and out lies and propaganda are flushed too, as we don't feel like expending the time or effort talking to brick walls and correcting stupidity. Certain brainwashed liberal sycophants have disappeared when we denied them a forum.
  • Ad hominem attacks on SCC are deleted at our whim. Some amuse us - others, not so.
As you might have observed, all of our posts deal with sticky issues in a very general way so as to avoid any entanglements that might arise. You may also have observed that SCC is not a democracy. This is a dictatorship, plain and simple. You have no expectation of getting published here. If you're that hell bent on spewing your bile, get a blog like we did. They're free! Then go and try to generate some interest in your chosen subject. If it's good, we'll even link to it.

I grew up in a totalitarian dictatorship! It was called Dad going around the clock.

1st watch- be quiet your father is sleeping.

2nd watch- life was like my friends dad was home for dinner

3rd watch- dad was home during the day. Got to know my dad kinda when he got home on fridays with a pizza at midnight.

It took me coming on this job, to understand my dad.

SCC sorry about the drift there but I got a laugh outta you saying this is a dictatorship, and you made me think of my childhood as a cops kid.

How about telling Tiny Brains to start his own blog and stop whining

AMEN....My Dad was not a cop, but I agree with you 100%.

I figured it out when I saw some shit heads with no job and no education. I figured it out when I met a few coppers with nothing more than a gun and a badge.

Yeah Father's day is comimg. Dad's passed away, but THANK YOU DAD.

You scolded him nicely. It's obvious that you have children of your own. Good for you! Keep up the good work. I just hope he doesn't need therapy. Hey, wait a minute, maybe that's not such a bad idea.

AMEN!! My Dad was not on this job, but your point is well taken.

I understood what Dad was talking about when I met idiots with no job/education.

I understood what Dad meant when I met a FEW coppers with nothing more than a badge and a gun.

What did their Dads tell them??
It's OK to be a cunt and talk shit?

SCC, don't worry about a lot of these idiots. I know it's hard, but you do a phenomonal job. YOU'RE too talented to be on this job. If some of these idiots made a million dollars a year...they'd still complain.

OK, toss the Tiny Brains stuff out.
They almost ruined this blog before and is why we don't have instant posting.

Maybe have an end of the month list of the Best Posts under each subject.

Sometimes there are so many I can't read them all so listing the gems would be a good thing.

SCC – This came from the post about the Area 2 Gang Teams starting new hours. Now, after have read the post about what you will post and what you will not, I still will submit this. The reason you ask? The last comment made – I think that this is HUGE problem with this department and with the liberals in this city. Do what you will with it. If you could, can you acknowledge that you received it if you choose not to print it? Thank you.

Ingram will be the first to tell you that the tact game is a new one to him. He learning it as he goes along, and that's all anyone can ask of any boss.

Ummm, no. You’re wrong.

That is not what anyone can ask of a boss – to try and do his best. Why is this boss put in a spot that he has no business at all being in? THAT IS A HUGE PROBLEM.

You try to make it personal – the old Tact LT versus the new Tact LT, it is not about who is fat or who wears shiny boots.

It is about who is qualified to do the job, bottom line. Nothing more than that, and my friend, you guy Ingram should not be there. He was spoon fed a gig at O’Hare and then from there he ends up a tactical lieutenant. What tactical operations did they run at the airport? You even state that the “tact game” is new for him. Clearly then, by the word from people in 5, and from YOUR OWN Mouth, the guy is not in a spot that: #1) he earned and #2) he has a level of competence to be in and #3) he was qualified to be in – other than the fact that already was a LT.

You ended by saying that if things were so bad under him then people would have already left. I disagree, while being in 5 surely must suck, would you rather be in 5 on Gangs/Tact, or in 5 on the Watch. This guy HAS to be better than Cynthia White – no one can be that bad. And no matter what you think of Gangs/Tact, you know being there; you will not have to answer all the BS domestics that come with working in a ghetto domestic. Plus you have a set partner and you get to stay with your partner. That is enough to make the job bearable, and because somebody would chose to stay, it would not mean that your guy is still not incompetent. Finally, no body seemed to leave under the other LT – the fat slob you talked off. So he must have been golden to everyone except you then, correct?

That is the problem with the CPD now. Too much liberal thinking beaten into everyone to where you freely chose to think that somebody unqualified is okay to be in a spot – because they try hard.

Yeah, ok "in the know." If you're miserable, leave. Don't compare working tact to working for Cynthia. Most of the guys on tact/gangs have enough time there to work any shift they want. I've worked a beat car with the same partner. The old tact lt. had no expectations of anyone, and it showed. He didn't have much experience dealing with tact teams either; The old cmdr. (since retired) needed one, and he was asked, and accepted. Believe me,it wasn't about Lt. lardass's talent, make no mistake about that.
I've seen several lts. with limited tact experience grow into the job. That usually happens, and sometimes it doesn't. Wade can't be any worse than what preceded him. Its always interesting that when boss makes little changes, or miniscule efforts to build up a unit, nothing is said. When a new boss comes and attempts improvements, or moves out ineffective people, the dogs begin to howl, and they do it HERE.

Ummm, not going to happen - as I do not work for 5 Gangs/Tact. However, I do work in Area 2, and I do get to see your guy almost daily. I also have friends on ALL of the teams, and they all have said your guy is incompetent.

How is Tact/Gangs not working for CW or RW, and for that matter TMc? You work for the Watch Cmdr, no? Did you forget that during your time, my young lad?

They ALL can work any shift they want - they are in 5, the only district with 10 openings a month and a place that PPO's can get a full 4 furlough.

Face it, your guy is a merit hack, who is not qualified to be there.

I'M ABOUT TO DO SOMETHING I'D NEVER THOUGH I'D DO, ON THIS SITE. DEFEND A BOSS.

WADE INGRAM PROBERLY ISN'T THE MOST STREET SMART COPPER OUT THERE, BUT IVE WORKED FOR HIM BACK IN 15 AND HE WAS A PRINCE. HE WAS FAIR, AND DIDN'T GIVE ADDITIONAL FAVOR FOR BEING THE SAME RACE AS HIM (A HUGE PROBLEM ON THIS JOB). GIVE HIM A CHANCE, HE'S A GOOD GUY AND WILL LOOK OUT FOR YOU. BESIDES, IF HE FUCKS UP THEN WE CAN HANG HIM LATER. BUT GIVE HIM A SHOT, HE DESERVES IT.

Amen to that! I think that was tho whole point - that too much liberal beating has taken a toll on the CPD.

We now think that a boss
who is a "good guy" is a good boss too.

IMO - Give me the asshole who is qualified over the "good guy"
who has his head up his ass anyday.

To IN THE KNOW. How can you say they do no tactical work at the airports. You're wrong. If you watch them they go straight into tactical mode after roll call. They tactically hide, blow off radio calls and tactically run if they see something that requires police action. Now that's a tactical team if I ever saw one. Well trained and they work like a timex watch.

Tactical operations in all the districts are a joke. Six names on an arrest report for 1 bag. Ducking and dodging assignments. How about the old line the officer will write you a report.
