Please Tell Us This is a Joke?

Dear lord, please (from the comments section):
  • Our esteemed interim stupidintendent has agreed to allow the Reverends to address an SOS roll call. If you guys walk out and take time, I will adopt one SOS Officer and give him his day's pay. I am sure I can rally enough others to do the same.

    What are they going to do to you, put GPS on your car?
We still remember what happened last time a "community activist" was permitted to address a Roll Call. Charlie Williams better remember, too, because he had to go out and apologize to the entire watch on behalf of the Superintendent for allowing that travesty to go forward.

If this is true, we encourage every single officer to take an hour on the front and skip Roll Call at the very least. Then we'd encourage every single one of them to put in PAR forms and come over to the Districts - because if the Department is going to pull this shit every time you justifiably kill someone who might have made your family's life a living hell, how are they going to back you when you really need someone in your corner? How can any boss ever look you in the eye and ask you to go out on the street to enforce the law?

Being in a Unit certainly isn't worth this crap.

Hmmm, being forced to listen to a lecture that second guesses decisions made by fellow officers by individuals who are anti-police, refuse to believe any evidence that the officers acted as they should have, and still believe that we carry around department issued "drop guns". Is it their intention to fill officers with so much doubt that they hesitate when a gun is pointed at them and they get killed and the offenders gets away? Cant this be considered as creating a hostile work environment?
The last thing this department needs is to be giving any validation to these mail-order do what I preach (but I'll do what I want) revs. Since they know absolutely nothing about police work, and even less about how to solve the problems of their community (they do more blame shifting and race baiting then problem solving) they have no right to address us at a roll call. Why do we need to be addressed by them? We didnt do anything wrong. Idiot fights with the police and after using a less lethal tactic he dies from still unknown causes... To bad, dont fight with the police. Idiot points a gun at the police and is fatally shot.... To bad, dont run around with a gun and dont point it at the police. And yet we are being made out to be the bad guys. I know that in the public eye its always a lose lose situation for us. Offender gets away and carjacks and kills someone, why didnt the police stop him? But shoot the same offender when he points a gun at us, Why did the police shoot him? We just cant win with the public either way. But the department heads are supposed to know this too and should stand with us. Its slaps in the face like this that make us feel completely unsupported by the department and is a big reason why moral is so low. Whats next, the bangers addressing roll calls to tell us to ease up on them?
I could go on but I have been having some car problems that I have to work on, wouldnt want it to brake down on my way into work. It would be a damn shame to miss a roll call.

Let's be fair. Invite Steven Pagones to address the same roll call.

Pagones was an Assistant District Attorney in New York who was falsely accused in 1987 by Tawana Brawley and Al Sharpton of raping Brawley. An exhaustive grand jury investigation found that Pagones had nothing to do with any attack on Brawley.

This must be a joke! No leader of any police dept. would do something so stupid and destructive. Even a complete fool would know how damaging that would be to morale. But then again I don't think morale can get any lower. If this is true I urge everyone to walk out or not attend do something. DO NOT sit there and listen to any lecture/belittling by any fake Rev's. Get up walk out say you have the shits or just say the truth. Fuck You Rev's!

Don't wait. Start now.

spread a unified plan to show contempt for this obvious insult to the rank and file of SO.

They are counting on your inexperience of a more youthful unit.

They are counting upon your naive loyalty to the job and city you swore to protect by slapping your
face with humiliation.

This should become a single topic blog site for suggestions as well as an oppotuunity to spread the word ASAP.

Once a reasonable plan enfolds
spread the word verbally, and in written format on the SO walls
and everywhere you can.

Do not sit and wait!

My idea:

Attend.

post an 8x11 paper on the back of each SOS po, face the rear of roll call and show the "speaker"

Tawana Brawley
written on it.

Remember:
what one does you all do or it fails show unity .
This has always been a problem in the CPD. Only this time the bosses have given you a cause to rally behind in unison.

No P.O. needs to be addresses by a cereal box Rev to be told how to
perform. That's an insult to white, black, hispanic, male, female, all other and canine as well.

God bless the working po's

Don't call in sick. Don't take time. Stand up and in a polite and professional manner without violating any rules and tell them they are the racists. They are the race baters. Tell them that batteries to police officers across the city are up including 11. Tell them they are liers trying to keep thenselves in power by deceiving the community.

What is the worse thing that could happen. Are they gonna dump you from SOS and send you to a district?

Who cares if they come to roll call. Don't sit there like sheep. Speak up like men.

When you walk out of the roll call and quit your special unit job be prepared to watch your fellow officers who are stating that they fully support your efforts to be lined up to kiss the rump of anyone they think may be able to place them in the assignment that you just walked away from. At the very least the street weasels no how to stick together. We could learn a thing or two from them.

Case in point in 2003 I was working the 14th dist when we had a outdoor roll call and at that time Maria Maher was the DC. During roll call she had a reverend start preaching, and at this time I walked over to my squad car and stood. Later Maria called me into her officer to tell tell me not to ever walk away from the preacher,at this time I told her that our constitution says we have a thing called separation of church and state, along with the fact that I hold god in my own way not the way you or anyone else tells me I should. Shortly after I had to leave the dist as you can all guess how I was treated. If I have to do it over again I will do the same. Never will I stand at a roll call and have some preacher tell me to hold hands.

And if you were to check you will notice a huge and I do mean HUGE number of female 1 police officers with take home cars who are at headqtrs. I want my take home car, oo no wait I'm not banging the acting supt so I dont get one.

The P.O.'s could disband S.O.S. on their own, by a mass mutiny. If they screw with you guys like I hear they are, transfer out to the districts and give us a hand. They CANNOT stop you from bidding to districts where there is a vacancy. A management move they can shoot down. Not a recognized vacancy. Here in 022, we are short just like all the other districts, and I know a lot of Officers live out here. Come help us PROTECT THE HOMELAND!

Listen you guys, this is not right but lets look at the bigger picture. We are NOT in the wrong. We did nothing illegal. We are vested by the State, the City and the Federal Government to protect out lives and the lives of others when an offender points a gun at us and attempts to murder us.
The bigger picture is - WHY is Dana Starks contributing to the destruction of the Police Department? Why is he initiating efforts to undermine our legal actions when there has been no legal judgment against us for doing our job?
You have to ask this because he is allegedly our leader but this smacks of someone on a personal agenda. And an agenda that is NOT to rally the community together wih the Police. No, this is something more. Something self-serving.
Prior to his time as Interim Superintendent there was not significant unrest in the black community. To justify his position and to shoe in his candidate for Superintendent since he knows its not going to be himself - he is creating a situation. CREATING one because there is not one.
He refuses to convey the actual facts of this shooting to the community because it serves his agenda for the community to think otherwise. Think about it.

Now, I am against this also but I would not recommend walking out. We would only be playing right into his hands, and appearing to not support the concerns of the community. We know this is not true but our actions have been skewed to the media already by this Superintendent, and if we do this, they will skew this also. We have had to sit and listen to many people bloviate about what they THINk. We can do it again. In the future we can rectify this situation but right now, this is NOT the time to play into a calculating race card playing Interim Superintendent.

THINK ABOUT THIS BEFORE YOU ACT. You could be paving the way for his people and this you DO NOT want.

Walk out of roll call because you have to go to the washroom and throw up.

Walk out of roll call because you have to take and emergency shit.

Walk out of roll call because you have to piss and you can't hold it anymore from years of drinking all that booze due to the strees on the job.

Walk out of roll call because you have to take or make an emergency phone call.

Walk out of roll call cause it's against your religion and beliefs.

Take time on that day. Take time on the front. Everybody hit the medical.

If you do decide to stay in roll call, try fartn' as much as possible. It's a natural uncontrolable body action that they can't do shit about. Throw some constant sneeze's, belches and coughs for good measure.

Are you fucking kidding me. Shame on all the cpd bosses that are cowards. Talk about waving the white flag and surrendering. The ball-less bosses sit by and do nothing when the idiots block city streets and sidewalks protesting. they stand by and do nothing when idiots throw bottles and rocks and threats at the police. the last time I checked they all were crimes. Now you expect coppers to sit in roll call and HAVE TO listen to some reverand or community activist. I think not!

Or why aren't we asking the parents why they allowed for this young man to be out with a pistol. Let them come, because we will run them right out of homan on starks back!!!

On another note, we were working last night and they had the whole unit working out in the 5th district. When 11 asked for cars and sort/heavy weapons to respond we were immediately told by Risley that no SOS officers are to be in the 11th district. The reason this department blows, not the job because its not a bad job, but the reason it blows is we have no real leaders! We have no one that will make a controversial decision or have the balls to stand up to the revs and citizens.

Like a revival meeting, start by just drowning out the pontificating cocksucker by clapping, dancing in place, loudly singing "Amazing Grace", "Kumbaya" and continuously shouting

Tell it like it is!

If you receive a direct order from ranking officers (defendants) to be silent, comply, make note of their identities, verbatim statements and demeanor. Leave the squad room en masse and forthwith.

I see the potential for First Amendment violations being committed against the police officers for being subjected to such infuriating drivel. Explore litigation v. Chicago and clueless exempt moron defendants who would contrive and perpetuate such a waste of taxpayers' time and money.

Aside from being an insult to your collective intelligence, I submit that such abject management stupidity and cavalier and irresponsible behavior is a matter of public concern which should be resolved by Section 1983 litigation in Federal Court, if necessary.

Don't risk insubordination by disobeying a direct order. Take notes, the identities of all principals and witnesses and sue the bejesus out of the City, hopefully into bankruptcy.

Trust me. In addition to being financially rewarding, it can be lots of fun.

I like the Paladin idea, don't do the grade school act and walk out or turn your back.

Show some intelligence and guts and challenge the reverend. Be polite and professional at all times. Let them talk and see where they are taking it, there are some out there that believe it or not are our friends. Just like you can't say all Catholic priests are Pfather Phlagers.

If they start spouting race bating crap, call them out on it.

If they say we are mistreating their youth, ask them where are they when their you starts throwing rocks and bottles.

Ask them where are they when these kids start missing school, selling dope, riding in stolen cars or stealing. These reverends need to preach peace, and fire and brimstone to these kids when they are young.

If they want to send African American ministers to roll calls, I strongly suggest that they send some of our department chaplains. I have met a few of them and they are excellent people.

Whatever happens, don't do anything stupid, and stay safe.

Roll call suggestion

Once many years ago I ran for pension bd trustee

One Sunday, I attended a roll call in 014 to campaign for myself

The television in the roll call room was playing and the baseball world series was on


While I was trying to state my position about issues pertaining to the election, my fellow officers were betting with each other about whether the next pitches would be a balls or strikes, the loser passing a dollar to the winner right in front of me.

This occured for about five minutes until it dawned on me that I should have stayed home and I left.



Id suggest similar treatment for the reverend who shows up for the roll call

Have everybody there. Just sit with your eyes closed and your heads down or some other way to show your disrespect and contempt.

For them and for the boss who sent them

I never wished to be in SOS until news of this came out. If it does come to pass, do as the previous poster said. Get all of the information and the bosses present and what was specifically said regarding your participation in this "roll call training". Then the next day you file a EEOC hostile workplace grevience for being coerced into attending this state sponsored religious activity. You may get some money out of the city, but the real fun (and money)comes from the retaliation lawsuit. Thats where punitive damages are awarded...

How about using some hippie protest tools aginst them. Instead of walking out,burning time, or doing anything that is against general orders, just stand up, silently turn your back to the speaker and wait for them to finish there comments. Do Not engage them, do not entice them, just silently show your own feelings and politley turn your backs to them during their comments. No one can say you didn't attend, or didn't hear, you just politley disregarded their comments. The reverands addressing a room full of officers backs will send a clear message to the speaker. When they are done speaking, resume your original seated positions and listen atttentively to the pertinant information being conveyed during roll call as you normally would.

"Oh by the way no other officer stood with me. I stood alone as the candy asses stayed in the park holding hands as the preacher mad mouth the police then started the lord BS."

That's what you get for working with a bunch of 014 3rd watchers who grew up in Humboldt. Boricua!

I never wished to be in SOS until news of this came out. If it does come to pass, do as the previous poster said. Get all of the information and the bosses present and what was specifically said regarding your participation in this "roll call training". Then the next day you file a EEOC hostile workplace grevience for being coerced into attending this state sponsored religious activity. You may get some money out of the city, but the real fun (and money)comes from the retaliation lawsuit. Thats where punitive damages are awarded...

How about using some hippie protest tools aginst them. Instead of walking out,burning time, or doing anything that is against general orders, just stand up, silently turn your back to the speaker and wait for them to finish there comments. Do Not engage them, do not entice them, just silently


That would be great However only one po would turn. The one with a backbone. Get a clue you guys are sickening, during my 22 years I have always had to stand alone.Take, talk, talk.

This thread had some good ideas until CJN 04:10am posted something both STUPID AND RACIST! You wonder why the public hate us, it's because of BITCHES like you. We have much bigger problems, leave your racist comments in your moms basement next to your bed!

You nailed it. Set up a few video recorders in the room. Start it rolling the second you set them up. It is a public forum, and you do have the right to record. If you start the recording as soon as you set it up, you will you wont miss anything, including the bosses telling you to turn them off. If the cameras are there in the good reverends face he wil have to tone down his address or not! Either way you have it on tape. The tape is private property, if a boss orders you to give up the tape, inventory it with you as the owner then had it to him to sign.

There should be at least one hidden video recorder in the room also. There should be a FOP rep in the room also. No where in our contract does it state, the Dept. can order you to attend a religious function of any kind let alone one government proprty.

But as usual the Mayor thinks he is exempt from the U.S. and State Constitution. And we all now he wipes his ass with our Contract.

You show up on time and are scene at role call. nobody said that you have to sit at a role call when a reverand is preaching to you. I am just retired from this job and if the troops stay in that role call and do not walk out on those clowns then they should be ashamed of themselves. once they are done talking go back into the role call room and listen to what your bosses say.... not some shithead gangbanging reverend.

Look up the general orders, cameras (also field glasses and recording devices) without the permission of the commanding officer are prohibited. There are video cameras protruding out of the ceilings, and mircophones in plain view, in the roll call rooms of the newest stations like 10 and 20. So Big Brother can be watching.

It would be better to make and intelligent statement in a strong but professional manner not hold your breath until you turn blue.

Do that and what can they do to you.

Be safe out there.

I KNOW MOST OF YOU GUYS HATE US, BUT WE COULD SEND AN EXTRA 200 PEOPLE THERE IN CASE SOMEONE IS CALLING FOR HELP, WE WOULD BE THERE TO PROVIDE BACKUP.

heres a thought

when those of us that attended the st judes march were marching did anyone else recognise the banners with all the fallen CPD officers names and pictures.

as this will be a "religious " meeting bring those banners and when Rev soapbox stands up everyone at roll call stand at attention and produce those banners everyone not holding a banner light a candle and glare at the "rev"

if the preacher wants to know why we fired on an armed offender we can tell him its our job to protect the public and that many hinorable officers have died doing the same



everyone in SOS attend when the reverend starts his speech everyone stand at attention
