Ric Flair Strikes Again
- Chicago Police seized 992 pounds of marijuana Friday evening from the garage of a Southwest Side apartment building.
The stock of drugs, wrapped as if it had recently been shipped, has a street value of $2.7 million, Chicago Lawn District Cmdr. Leo Schmitz said.
That's a lot of weed boys. WOOOO! HOOOOO!!!

watching him on channel 7 news looked like his shirt bottons were ready to pop up what was his maiden name? at least they were not doing real crime like drag racing! did ric also take the cars of the dope dealers? who called him not eddie burke again? great job to the blue shirts! was he doing a wrestling announcement at the mic?
He's still wearing that stoopid flack jacket.....
I worked for Leo in A/5. Good Man. Funny analogy to Rick Flair though...: ) Go get 'em Leo....
At this weeks PPO graduation he showed up late. Made the "grand" entrance. Struted to his seat like he owned the place. Pompous Ass!
Kind of reminds me of my strech Cunningham doll.
"I worked for Leo in A/5. Good Man. Funny analogy to Rick Flair though...: ) Go get 'em Leo...."
Approachable, but a Company Man thru& thru...
Great job, sonny! Let's get these Hoodlums off our streets. That young man needs to wear that flack jacket in our district, all those whippersnappers carrying on like animals.
Nana Babushka
Clearing
P.s. My grandson says woo hoo!! Body slam the animals, Ric! Go get 'em
>>"That's a pretty huge seizure of marijuana for just about anyone," Schmitz said. A police officer for 21 years, he said he has never seen beat officers confiscate that much marijuana.
An informant tipped officers off, telling them drugs were being sold on the 5400 block of South Kilbourn Avenue, Schmitz said<<
LEO THE LION, TAMING THE 8TH DISTRICT! ^5 to our kick ass District Commander and coppers

I recorded Mr. Flair in his flak jacket on my DVR. My heart is fluttering.
Please Mr. Flair, kees me you fool!!!

He was late because he is doing real police work with the rank and file. The other bosses were there early to get there boots licked by suck nuts!

go rick flair..i worked with him in A/4 ...he's never going to take off the flak jacket
As a retired Exempt I can tell you that Leo was foolish walking in late to anything that the Mayor and other Exempts attend like a recruit graduation. He would have done better being absent rather than call attention to himself by being late. Hope he learns, there is no future keeping yourself in the spotlight. Being nonchalant, much like Hiram Grau, is the way to go.
Bill Cosby for next Super. or better yet Mayor.
Ive seen plenty of pompous ass bosses. Most of those bosses wouldnt piss on you if your ass was on fire. This guys treats everybody in the district pretty good, he says hello to everybody,Thanks everbody for everything. I dont mind at all working for him. I would imagine he was late for the graduation,because he was working.The guy is kind of high strung, and is always on top of things. At least he showed up, A late of bosses send a lackey in their place. Fucking whinner..
Good bust! But it aint nothing to the SOUTH OF THE BORDER Boys/Cartels! We lost the war on drugs.........
Why don't work for the guy before you rip him! I worked for him for two years and would work for him again anyday. How can you get on a guy for recovering that much stuff? Leo is the real police and he is proud of it. He earned it Big deal! What do you guys want?
How dare you term him as the Nature Boy. That title belongs to former Lt. Dave O'Callaghan. Let Leo be Gary Busey.
Leo didn't do shit. This was all the guys on midnights and he shows up and takes all the credit. Give credit where credit is due.
Leo is the best
he'll get the dogs to bid out of 8
993 lbs. of reefer might sound like a lot, but it is a drop in the bucket compared to the amount ofdrugs being smuggled into this city/county on a regular basis. It's like finding a grain of sand on the beach.
Hey, why don't you jealous assholes just leave him alone. I worked for him and he's the type of boss you want backing you up when the shit hits the fan or would you rather have some 20 year 35th & Michigan type backing you up in a fire fight?
great job by the guys on mid nights in 008... of course tac had to get themselves involved im sure and try and make it there own bust. but good job the the beat guys finding the info and futher investigating... good pinch.
what was the location of the pinch?
Just like the Area/4 gun team.
Hey...I think he's doing a great job! Definitely has done more in the short time he's been commander than the last two combined!! The only fault I see in the man is that I wish he would get rid of some of the "house mice" that hide in his office and give us some help on the street.
Want a story, ask him to show you his "war wound" when he got shot in 12
Great job boys and girls! were they he illegally? If so send a letter to your mayor to tell him his theory is correct help the illegals push more tax monies in their face and see senor this is what you get!
Dear Commander Georgass,
I've been seeing new Commander Schmitz on the news daily. How come you aren't making appearances? Maybe you should overly micro-manage us in 018 and come into work for 20 hours straight, come on the zone and say 1800 at least 60 times a shift and think of whatever stupid things you could possibly come up with. Then maybe we'll get good pinches and do our job real well.
I've noticed activity dipping a little bit? Your presence is truly needed here. Help me write this parking ticket and I'll sign my name. Have the zone send me to the row houses so I can not produce any arrests outside of here. What other resources can you waste while still having the police not doing sh** for you. I just hope you can look at your Greek God self in the mirror every day and like what you see.
Remember, look down on the Patrolman. They are beneath you. You are a Commander! Who cares what a stupid patrolman thinks?
That's just what Daley told you, right?
hey,despite all the negative commments of cmdr schmitz...he treated us beat officers with respect...unlike the previous boss we had in 008. thanx for the respect and help on the drug bust schmitz!
Rumor has it, the majority of the officers that were inolved in this drug seizure all had less than 3 years on the job! Good job to the rookies!
Who cares what the comndr looks or acts like. Lets really talk about what a great job those coppers on 1st watch did. The po's that got that pinch aren't even on the tact team...Cabrales, Dallio, Lopez, Rivera...and haven't been on the job for that long either I heard. Anyone else on that paper jumped on it....oh and where was the 008 tact team...doing a dispersal???

great pinch, but stop beating on the tact guys. the tact guys are doing what is asked of them as in every district. the watch in 008 is not doing what they are asked of, mostly mutts as i see it.
And guess who was involved in bringing all that marijuana into Chicago? ILLEGAL ALIENS MAYBE? Welcome to SANCTUARY CITY. When one of your loved ones is killed or seriously hurt by someone high on this stuff, you can thank the local Dem. politicians who encouraged them [illegals]to come here.

This was a great job by all involved. From the po's to the bosses on the watch and tact, and Schmitz. Great TEAM work. Good job guys.

Ask the guys from the Jefferson tap if he backed them up

You my friend are absolutely right but it is a damn good job on the coppers part. Man i'll tell you it isure is easy to put people down when you hide behind a keyboard.
Good job in 008 guys, keep up the good work. And no I don't or never have worked in 008. 015 to the bone.
Maybe he could take off all of those medals when he is wearing an ill fitting shirt too...save the medals for your dress uniform Leo...you look like a tool

How is he supposed to back them up genius??Leo should have made the video disapear??What the fuck are you talking about?Look,I"ve crossed paths with Leo many times over the last decade and a half.The worst I can say about him is that he is a true believer in the job,and sometimes comes of like some hyper,goofy PPO.On the other hand if I need a hand...on the street or in the station,I'm pretty sure he's one of the better bosses out there.And no.I wouldn't expect him to be able to take care of a videoed fuck-story like Jefferson Tap.

A fire fight? OMG he is a firefighter also WOW! Wrestler,firefighter,man of medals,husband of major clout, former gym owner he is the best!! Just ask him he will tell you!
999lbs or 2 dime bags, who gives a fuck. All it means is double secret probation.
Girls, you can't be the first, but you can be next. Space Mountain may be the oldest ride in the park, but it has the longest line. WOOOO! WOOOO!
Schmitz--he treated us beat officers with respect--unlike the previous commander we had in 008-----
No truer words have ever been spoken.
He has done more as commander than the last two combined---
Not true. Commander Rayl was a great guy who let his supervisors handle the patrolmen without interference. A lot of good work was done there but went unnoticed because the Commander was not a news hound.
He show up and takes all the credit----
Unfortunate but true. The blue shirts did the work---Give the blue shirts the credit.
How can you get on a guy for getting so much stuff---
He did not get it. His subordinates got it. He justed wanted the face time on the camera.
Leo wasn't late to the recent recruit graduation. Actually, the ceremony began a few minutes early.
Schmitz is doing a good job in 008.
Wish we had a few more cmdrs. like
him.
Here's some video of Ric in all his pompous glory and flak jacket at the recent shooting in 008

"stop beating up on tact guys"
"the watch, mostly muts, as you see it"
Keep patting yourself on the back kiddo. Those "mut" watch guys do more work in a week than you will do in five years on the tact team. You are the one that sold your soul to wear blue jeans. Just keep doing what is asked of you, producing useless numbers for the boss. Nothing wrong with that, but don't knock the blue shirt that will probably give you the best pinch you have had in six months because they have been in court three times this week already and they are tired. Further, if you are the 008th district tact team, quit bullshittig, you guys couldn't find a drunk in Ireland. You have a lot of gall talking down about the blue shirt coppers. Dickhead!!
LEO THE LION, TAMING THE 8TH DISTRICT! ^5 to our kick ass District Commander and coppers

C'mon LEO memorial, do you really think the commander had anything to do with this except the camera part!?Give the credit to the beat guys that are out there doing this kind of crap every night.

he is getting on camera a lot because he is after all "RIC FLAIR" commander genius just ask him he will show you his medals and tell you how smart he is and how his clouted wife got him promoted!
Leo is the one of the best bosses I ever worked for. His number one concern is that all the P.O.'s are happy and taken care of. Say what you will the guy is a true street copper.
"^5 to our kick ass District Commander and coppers..."
I did say "and coppers" too, right? Yes, I do give our new Commander a ^5. Why? Because leadership starts @ the top & trickles down. He 'seems' articulate, down to earth, & ready to lend a hand to all of you on the streets. I see many of you around here, short-handed & busting your ass in this zoo.
I'll guess I'm going to find about how sincere he is, because my next project is to put a small police memorial tribute here in Clearing. Are any of you aware that the FOP/Congress Lipinski established a fund for neighborhoods that would like to build a small police memorial?
I have no clue how to do this so will need to go to Commander Schmitz to see if he can me out with this since it's in the 008th but do have some ideas how it should look...
Leo and Ellyn,
Stop the bullshit!
Rumor has it, the majority of the officers that were inolved in this drug seizure all had less than 3 years on the job! Good job to the rookies!

Come on truth be told this was luck right place at the right time, period.However let us talk about the criminals they are from Mexico along with the drugs and they are illegal, imagine that

6/17/2007 02:35:00 AM
I agree about Commander Rayl, However Rayl is very heavy, 19th ward clout, My wife worked in the ward office also 19th ward along with daddy got his son Murphy off with the gun incident, any other po would have been fired. connections go a long way.

******************************
Not talking about Rayl Man!! Talking about the last two clowns, Carroll and Molloy!
Leo will always be Leo, I worked with him 13 years ago When he was on 012 tact. As long as he is doing his job who gives a fuck how he acts.Hey Leo,you know who this is, stay out of the hot tub. More patrols on 811. Even have a few houses for you.
Leo why did you not help you guys at jefferson tap? why did you leave and let your men get indicted? your my hero! "twist the knife erkel"!

Yes he's heavy, but it's not 19th ward, it's bridgeport, he's a Daley guy, but he is a great guy and so is Murph....
The patrolmen are the ones to thank and he did. If you have attended a role call in 008 the first thing he said is good work by the policemen. He will have to justify their overtime but ya know what he let them stay. Good for him. take care of who takes care of you. It was their pinch and he let them run with it. He got them help/guidence to get things done that needed to be done.
Luck Yeah the pinch may have luck to thank. But when the dumbass is talking + you listening + You investigating= police work. The majority of police work is luck(being at the right place at the right time) knowing what b.s. is for real and what is not. At least these p.o.'s didn't go take hide like a lot of p.o's do.
As far as the flack jacket goes. I do think it is a bit much but. If i had it and i was worried about getting dead and not coming home to my family i would probably wear it. Wouldn't you. To those who slam him for it. I have a question. Do you take you gun with you whereever you go? I know i do. It is better to have it and not need it then need it and not have it!
I really don't know this guy that much but i see him at work and he always says thank you/ good work.
I do hear him on the radio alot, taking jobs and codeing domestics I even heard him do a time check.
Now that is a boss. The one thing i did notice was that all of his p.o's where standing behind him when he was on the news. I don't think that was by mistake. And if ya don't see the coppers i am sure it has something to do with editing by the media. well i am done with my rant. one last thing. There is nothing wrong with using clout to advance yourself just remember where you came from. what it is like to be stacked 3 deep with your lunch denied and the other car down on a distb. for 2 hrs.

Yea leo take care of 811 more cars how about watching the punks at normandy park? valley forge park? "come on down leo do you want door #1 or door #2 or door #3 when next supt makes some major moves?
I've kicked in many a door with Leo and when Momma started yelling Sgt Schmitz at the time stepped to the front and gave his name as the supervisor and told us to wait outside. He will back you. With a job well done he'll even buy ya lunch! Sounds like those guys in 8 deserve a lunch Leo. I'm proud to call Leo (baileys) a former boss and a friend. Sorry I missed your party Leo but my partner had a blast. Area 5 Agg Batt team.
...one question Molloy and Carroll took care of alot of people by bringing them inside, when will this cmdr replace them with light duty people or civilians and give us the help we need out on the street?
Leo's not pompous or arrogant...he'll go far, as long as it dosen't get to his head.
Bring Harley Schinker back to 008. To bad John Corless is dead. You young guys in 008 would really know what it is like to work for an asshole. Theses two goofs make Carroll look like a prince.
commander leo schmitz or commander jimmy carroll? who is better for the 008th district?
We give 008 Steve Georgas and two first round draft choices for anybody.

I remember harley well looked like fred flintstone! true he was an asshole! would yell at you for uniform items as his fatass stood in a dirty white t-shirt with belly out! he got his job though as he was leroy martins first partner and he clouted harley up all the way when he made supt! Corliss he was a fighter liked to fight joe curtain after getting drunk! corliss had missions one example we had to drive around his kids house all night we had a 2 block radius when someone stole some bullshit from his kid! he looked like skeltor his and harleys retirement party were both held in the same phone booth! but we have more like them on this department still today just look around!

Great guy or not, Connections are wrong. Treat all Police the way these two have been treated on this dept.
Corliss was a fighter, I think not. Corliss could'nt punch his way out of a wet paper bag. I do remember Joe Curtin kicking the shit out of Corliss out in the middle of Kedzie Ave. right in front of the Velvet Hammer cocktail lounge. Corliss was a wimp that tried to play that intimidation game with people, he played it with the wrong person when he tried Joe Curtin, Curtin mopped the street with him. Corliss and all his "people" were all assholes and a few are still on the Tac. team in 008.

How about we give you carroll and leo and georges gets demoted! That would work well!
Yeah I agree John Corliss was a Whimp. A big blow heart but he did have some people bullshited. There were several people like Commander Curtin that saw thru Corliss. Corliss scared people who were not on to him. People that were in fact the real police knew that he was a big bag of hot air. Harley Schinker was scared to death of John Corliss as was James Hollingsworth both former Commanders of 008 when Corliss was Deputy Chief of area one.
Corliss,Schanker,Molloy,Rayl,Evans,Carroll,Schmitz are all connected bunch of assholes,008 is doomed as long as Madigan has control.
