More Heroism
Fair and balanced coverage? What gives?
- Police rescued residents, including an elderly woman, from a burning South Side home Wednesday night.
- Officers were en route to an unrelated call about 9:30 p.m. Wednesday when they noticed smoke and flames coming out of a residence in the 3600 block of South Calumet Avenue, police News Affairs Officer Amina Greer said.
- The officers alerted residents that the building, 3622 S. Calumet Ave., was on fire, Greer said. The officers then assisted in the rescue of the residents, including carrying an elderly woman safely outside.
Another routine act of heroism by people who do it every day.

Good job Sauce-man! Seen you on t.v. Can I have your autograph? My hero!
Great work, but let's remember the important thing, "How many contact cards/warninings did you write?
Not to diminish any of these stories of bravery,heroism and duty; but this is the AVERAGE day in the life of any copper.
The reality is that the media and citizens, rarely is ever realize it or acknowledge it.
This really puts life in focus:

The release also said Butko was thrown against a parked car and punched repeatedly despite not offering resistance.

DO YOU THINK?????
TODDLER,GIVE IT UP
CHICAGO -- A new report indicates that allegations of political patronage in some complaints filed with a hiring monitor show "devastating" effects on Cook County workers.
Julia Nowicki was appointed last fall to monitor county hiring practices.
In a report filed in federal court Wednesday, she said 119 former and current county employees have filed claims alleging they were politically discriminated against during the last three years.
She said she hasn't investigated all the claims and can't say whether they're accurate.
But she said if what the employees say is true, patronage is having a significant negative effect on the workers.
About half of the complaints came from the county health system and allege that politically-connected employees were given promotions and overtime over employees without connections.

Contact Cards have always been a very fine line in relation to civil rights litigation. Read the G.O.'s and protect yourself. As evidenced by Monique Bond's comments the City of Chicago will hang you out when the lawsuits and CR#'s come in naming you as the accussed.
Yet,every watch commander will be demanding two or more contact cards per car at roll call. As always,get the numbers and make us look good. Who ends up in trouble and in court? You, the patrolman.

Bloomberg Speaks Out About 'Immobilized' America
The NYC Mayor's First Network Interview Since Leaving the Republican Party
In his first network interview since leaving the Republican Party in June, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg told ABC's Robin Roberts that America is in a dire state.
"We have too much crime on the streets," he said on "Good Morning America." "People are getting killed throughout the country. We have an education system that's not educating everybody. That's detrimental to the whole country, including the people who are left behind."
It is a shame that there are PO's out there who are too immature to make worthwhile contributions to these blogs and effect positive dialogue and change. This are the same whiners who continuously bitch about the CPD and prefer to write about some copper or boss without validity.
Thank You for the forum and the work necessary to get ur done
Enough of the damned links to news articles! I get both papers for free everyday and read through them. I come here to read and relax our bs not theirs.
You can bet the Sauce was hitting on the reporter:
"Hey Chica, REELLAAXXX... You know I am a HERO? Ever make it with a hero bay-bee!"
See you put on some weight, must have found someplaces to eat in the deuce!

Nifong Admits: No Crime in Lacrosse Case
DURHAM, N.C.- It took three tries for disgraced former prosecutor Mike Nifong to utter the words that three Duke lacrosse players falsely accused of rape were determined to hear him say.
On Thursday, more than 16 months after beginning a disastrous prosecution of the former players, Nifong offered a complete and unqualified apology. After two rebuffed attempts to express remorse for his mishandling of the case, Nifong acknowledged there is "no credible evidence" to support allegations the men attacked a stripper during a team party last year.

Wilkos, a former marine and police officer, has expanded his role in recent years on the veteran Springer daily hour, including recent episodes themed “Steve to the Rescue,” which feature him on location offering advice to troubled individuals.
Official Clearances for NBCU’s The Steve Wilkos Show
NBC Universal has announced clearances for the new fall 2007 first-run hour-long talk show hosted by Jerry Springer’s head of security, Steve Wilkos, on the Tribune and Sinclair stations. Deals include Tribune’s WPIX/New York, KTLA/Los Angeles, WGN/Chicago and WPHL/Philadelphia; and Sinclair stations WTTA/Tampa, WPGH/Pittsburgh, WNUV/Baltimore and WLFL/Raleigh.

"I believe my Marine training of what is right and what is wrong and the street smarts I picked up as a police officer will assist me in helping my guests get through the hard times they face each day."
Good job officers. CFD must hate those days. CFD is still the hero even though police do the same thing sometimes.
Fair and Balanced Coverage
Are you kidding SCC? The media is never fair and certaintly not balanced. That is a misnomer is I ever heard one.
Nice job Sauce.
"I believe my Marine training of what is right and what is wrong and the street smarts I picked up as a police officer will assist me in helping my guests get through the hard times they face each day."
Well if Steve is indicative of the Marines on the CPD. Then you Jarheads are Sorely lacking.
Steve was a do nothing,
1/2ass paper jumper skater in 014. But he's certainly done well for himself & is getting the last laff on the CPD.
Hero my ass! Keep your cars off the street the fire is on so we can do our thing!
