Love Those Headlines

Channel 2:
Pretty straightforward report - foot chase, guy swallows drugs (lots of drugs evidently), chokes and passes out, ambulance summoned, guy dies from stupidity.

Now we move on to Channel 5:
"Allegedly?" What are the readers to imply from this headline? That the police rode around with some of those guns and dope they plant on everyone, picked a random person on the street, held him down and stuffed enough dope down his throat to kill him?

And then Channel 7:
There's that word again - "allegedly." And then the Channel 7 article, which is about three times the size of any of the other reporting, heads into la-la-land:
  • "They hit him with the car, they grabbed him and slammed him into the fence and a wall," said a witness who identified herself as Dee Dee.
  • Witnesses claim the police were rough with the young man, and they say officers were in no hurry to get him help.
  • "They waited 15 to 20 minutes to get the boy some help, and once they did, the boy was dead," said another witness who wished to remain anonymous.
  • "This is abuse, this is negligence, this is just inconsideration for human life," said West Side resident Charles Banks.
Wow. That's some great reporting by Channel 7's Ben Bradley. Someone named Dee Dee, someone else named "anonymous," and Charles Banks.

We'd like to do some reporting, too. We went around Ben Bradley's place the other day, talked to some random strangers on the street, a few of the surrounding restaurants and such. Some waitress named Alice said Ben's a horrible tipper, 8% tops. John doesn't know Ben, but thinks that people on the block don't pick up after their dogs enough and if Ben owns a dog, he's probably one of the biggest offenders of all. Anonymous says that Ben is a dud in the sack.

See? Completely unbiased reporting by SCC and fully sourced, just like Channel 7 does.

before the 'media hates police' ball gets rolling, i'll say the only good reason [other than laziness and stupidity and lack of a spine] that a station, paper, etc. would use the word 'allegedly' in instances like that is that they're scared to death of the lawyer that the dope-eater's mama inevitably will hire to sue the police, sue the headline writers, etc.

Also the taser can be shot down the throat. The taser's pronges will attach themselves to the bags of dope and the taser wires allows one to gently pull them out.

I don't get it...where's the story? That's a daily occurance in 011. This poor soul just happened to package his dope a little too big for easy swallowability.

This could be a valuable public service announcement for the rest of the little ones out there that intend to pursue a life of dealing dope. Kids, package your rocks/blows/dubs/sacks of weed in smaller, easier to swaloow packs for better concealment, easier on the throat when time is a factor and an all around better marketability.

Remember kids, when it comes to safety think smaller is better. They can't lock you up for what they can't find. Eat that dope safely and with the full knowledge that your packaging is safe and bite size. Don't take unnecessary risks, pack that shit as though your life depends on it.

Did anyone catch the article in the newspaper today regarding the city teachers contract? 5 year contract with 4% raises each year and for the first 3 years there is no raise in health premiums. Wow pretty good contract for them. Does anyone see a problem with this? They get a 5 year contract, 4% raises each year, no increase in health care and they don’t have a residency rule. There salaries come from the same place as every other city employee…TAXES we all pay them but we all have to live in the city except teachers. There’s a problem here what’s good for one department should be good for all. Most city workers have their children in private school and have to pay extra each month for it because the city schools are crap. The city needs to be uniform with this policy…..anyone who gets a paycheck from the city either ALL have to live in the city or lift the residency rule for all departments. I really don’t want to hear if we want good teachers we have to allow them to live where they want…..that’s BS and we all know it. Someone needs to do something with our contract in a positive way either let us move out of city or make all city school teachers move into the city end of question.

Then in the next scene, a black girl with her white girlfriends states "they (the media) only find the most ignorant motherfucker to interview" The next scene shows her own brother (one of the Wayne brothers) giving a completely wrong, bullshit, turned around account of the above murder. It's the Chicago media and the west side except in movie form. Too bad that the above comedy is really the truth.

How about Holt? I feel for you lossing your son it is a terrible loss but why are you still on the medical? If your going to be a spokeman for the anti-gun lobby ask the department to give you a do nothing job at the court section or headquarters with the rest of the do nothings. If you can blame the gun industry and make speeches you should by now be back at work; come on Ron, you have been off for 90 days as of Sept 10. Why let Jackson and father flakie continue to use you.

Your are entitled to your views about gangs and gun control but do not represent your self as the police when your being carried on the medical.

Tragic.

Could you imagine your at the top of the dope game lets say on the Westside. You know avoiding the po po for weeks and months making that phat $ and then this.

The neighborhood that wanted you out per CAPS meetings and alderman and activists now says:

"It had to be the police put that bags in his mouth" as Ol' girl states and it was the NON-Caring police that arrested him and that didn't react as DUDE fell out from the police harrassment!

So, keep dreaming Westside Peeps for the almighty $$$$$. Every CASE you create gets Loevy and Assoc. and others attorneys licking their chops to rescue you from the arm pits of hell and then to deliver you to the promised land of RIMS, GRILLS and SOUNDS funded by the City Chicago and its taxpayers!

Hey citizens, no need to clean up your own backyard on the westside or whatever ghetto.

Its not your fault all that litter and shootings and drug dealings. If anyone out there ever GOT anything and if you did ever care about the community as you all act maybe then do it for yourself and your kids and the good of the WORLD.

The reality is you could care less about giving anything back to your own community anyway just like the PREACHER MAN's (Jesse and Big Al and Jakes etc.) that come out to just get a donation here and there upon a sensless act that occurs! Give us all a break!

Maybe Loevy and Assoc. can host a GALA at his home or in his neighborhood so to treat all the fine folks and people that made him and that he did for and their families etc.

It can be called the Democrartic Pain and Suffering Fest For The Non Taxpaying LEGIT Citizens!

Hell invite Jesse and Big Al with Jakes, Phlegr and whatever YUPPIE gullible enough to jump on this shit. Oh yeah invite Huberman and Daley. The whole bullshit Democratic Con-Team as they cater to the masses of stupidity and assure themselves their spot as legends in the history BS'ing the public!

What needs to happen is; The media has to stop reporting that the dead gangbanger was an honor student,choir boy,and saint. Start being dead honest about the morons, were not dealing with nice people who happen to sell drugs on the side.We are dealing with people who have no concience at all and would blink at the thought of killing you media types if they thought they might get away with it.Seriously, do you think we are out to hurt anyone,as in ,on purpose.Not at all ,but we want to go home everynight too.Maybe it's not fair to say that to the media because it's not their job to catch criminals,it's our job but I don't want them telling me how to do my job just like I don't tell them how to report the news.The problem is that what I see on t.v. isn't reporting, it's sensationalism.You can't tell me that when an incident happens and someone dies because of direct or indirect police action that it's actual reporting when they stick a rockhead on camera who claims the police murdered the goof.I hate to say it because it's not my nature to be lazy but I see it as the only option these days, it's better to be retired on the job than to get involved in an incident esp. if you ain't got clout.Even Al Capone could claim he did good things for the people and would have plenty of supporters to say what a great guy he was, the truth is that he was a murderer.I feel for the coppers involved in this, it could have been me, I play on that block often because hunting is good.I think that the media purposely wants to make us look bad.

2 shot and killed in a drive by at 78th and Cottage. This for beat 624 makes either the 10th or 11th homicide on that beat (possibly more). Now of course this isn't reaching the height of beat 211 when it made the Sun-Times front page with 20 odd homicides for a year. But still, a staggering number with todays declining Chicago homicide rate.

Good shootin' boys.

Also heard that someone (police) found M-16 shell casings on an "shot-fired" call in that area (beat 624). Don't know for sure because I wasn't there.

Off Topic; 017
Well, it's just about school time in 017.
And you know what that means;
The chain of evidence is about to be broken once more.
You see, in 017, we are the only district in the city, where the school cars make the arrest, yet they call for a beat car to pick up the honor roll student and process them while the school car stays at the school.
Can we do that?
Can we on view something, write the case, and then call a car to process that has no knowledge of the crime?!
Yes, 017 leads the city in school arrests in the city because they don't have to process the prisoners.
We do.
If that was the case and I worked in a school, I'd arrest everyone in sight.
And guess what, when I do the arrest report, I screw it up so bad because in the words of Sgt. Schultz;
"I see nothing."

Assume all cars have GPS. I even assume my car has voice recording going on. I may be paranoid, but that way they won't get you for anything silly. If they ram it to me, they are going to have to work to get it in dammit! There's too much technology and they want to nail us so bad (especially with a contract coming up) they'll do whatever. The sad thing is, they are going to end up getting the workers, when they could at least use the gps to get rid of the dogs. Some posts were made a few weeks ago about the desk crews being young, well, in our district the desk crew is mostly still on probation and are there because there aren't enough p.o.'s to ride with. Forget a regular partner, What is that?

Sorry for the off topic rant, I'm having one of those, gees, just fed up days.

Off Topic:

Did any one catch jesse jetscream bemonaining the police for all the shootings when visiting the child at Saint Rogers?

How about Holt? I feel for you lossing your son it is a terrible loss but why are you still on the medical? If your going to be a spokeman for the anti-gun lobby ask the department to give you a do nothing job at the court section or headquarters with the rest of the do nothings. If you can blame the gun industry and make speeches you should by now be back at work; come on Ron, you have been off for 90 days as of Sept 10. Why let Jackson and father flakie continue to use you.

Your are entitled to your views about gangs and gun control but do not represent your self as the police when your being carried on the medical.

Tell the truth about these gun tooting thugs and rat families. Point out thier records, do something to help the department.

Sorry SCC for all the controversy the post may cause I do not blame you if you dont post it.

holt lost his son to a COMMUNITY of violence. a COMMUNITY that both looks the other way when basic human civility is subverted by groups of youthes violently making a living from the black market sales of narcotics, weapons and sex. the elder folks in the COMMUNITY are no better, looking to profit from the misery and dispair by preaching blame and "all the time reachin".
the COMMUNITY better get their act together. there may come a time when the tit runs dry.

OH I SEE, HOLT IS BLACK SO HE SHOULD GET BACK TO WORK

I didn't see where anyone mentioned color. Is he on the medical for 90 plus days? What for? Is he ambulatory? Losing a family member is not a reason to be on the medical. Most of us have done that.
If he has no medical condition and is on the medical, he is exactly why we are going to lose our medical time.
I agree if he is healthy enough to do all these marches with the Revs, he is healthy enough to come back to work.

The city will never do anything to him to make him come back. He is rolling with the "blame gang" and is currently on tour in a ghetto near you. I would love to see what the wife a capt? in the firedept. and him a dick are pulling in and not working??? Its not that I dont feel for them in the loss of their son, but get over it on your own dime. This is why we will lose medical for mental anguish bullshit.

Off Topic; 017
Well, it's just about school time in 017.
And you know what that means;
The chain of evidence is about to be broken once more.
You see, in 017, we are the only district in the city, where the school cars make the arrest


Hay 017 toooo-bad you really didn't call that out because the reason that your district blows is the CRAZY BLOND CAPTAIN ON DAYS !!!!!!!!

I lost a family member and got 5 days because it was "out of state."

To add insult to injury "the boss" made me feel guilty about it and acted like he was doing me a "big favor" by giving me bereavement leave.

*************************************

If this father is having a "hard time" dealing with his loss..he should be given proper time to "grieve and heal."

That is why we have chemical dependency and mental health co-insurance and limits provided for in our Contract.

***********************************

BUT LET'S KEEP IT LEGIT! IF HE WOULD RATHER GO TO EVERY PUBLIC EVENT AND RUB ELBOWS WITH THE PLAYERS IN THE "ANTI GUN MOVEMENT"..TAKE A LEAVE OF ABSENCE FROM THE DEPARTMENT TO PURSUE IT ON YOUR OWN TIME!

BUT DON'T ABUSE THE MEDICAL.

***********************************

IF WHAT SOME ARE CLAIMING ON HERE IS TRUE ABOUT THE HOLT SITUATION, THAT IS WRONG AND IS AN ABUSE OF SOMEONE'S POWER SOMEWHERE @ 35TH STREET.

Did anyone catch the article in the newspaper today regarding the city teachers contract? 5 year contract with 4% raises each year and for the first 3 years there is no raise in health premiums. Wow pretty good contract for them. Does anyone see a problem with this? They get a 5 year contract, 4% raises each year, no increase in health care and they don’t have a residency rule

BULLSHIT! Get your facts straight. teachers must live in Chicago. Some were grandfathered in many years ago. They have an effective union but must live in Chicago. Teachers are no different than other city workers. Fighting for a chance to live outside the city.

Yes, 017 leads the city in school arrests in the city because they don't have to process the prisoners.
We do.
If that was the case and I worked in a school, I'd arrest everyone in sight.
And guess what, when I do the arrest report, I screw it up so bad because in the words of Sgt. Schultz;
"I see nothing."

Could it have something to do with that blonde captain on 2nd watch? Capt JD has carte blanche does what ever she wants without control. Super micro manager. Commander afraid to challenge her. She reminds me of the other female WC in 5th district on 2nd watch. Jd rules with a iron fist but nothing on top but a vacuum. What will happen when commander retires?

Speaking of Beni Bradley, I've seen him at the Dominick's off of Elston by Fullerton. He's got a giant head, sort of like the one "Allegedly" Pammy Zekman has. Perhaps they are related dum dums to the great Gazoo from the Flintstones.

I have my shit straight....if you were hired before 1996 you dont have to live in the city....so that should mean every cop or fireman hired befored 1996 should be grandfathered in also so they shouldnt have to live in the city.ALL RESIDENCY RULES SHOULD BE THE SAME FOR ALL DEPTS..EVERYONES PAYCHECKS COME FROM THE SAME SOURCE

In the annual run for the Curtin Trophy (Captains' Division), Janice Robarts-Dillon (017) appears to be pulling ahead of Mary Rozell (007) and Cynthia White (005).

A career biography of legendary crime-buster Robarts-Dillon will be appearing on YouTube shortly. Like her two South Side sistahs, she definitely be da REAL po-lice.

Since we must be politically correct in these times, have any male captains' names been nominated as world-class jagoffs?

TEACHERS AND COP CONTRACTS ARE NOTHING ALIKE WHATS NEXT COMPARE US TO ALDERMAN AND TRASH GUYS.



1996 is the year 4 teachers also exempt are specialized counselors who are exempt due to the lack of applications.

IF WE AS A WHOLE STOPPED WORKING CTA AND OTHER DETAILS THE DEPARTMENT WOULD HAVE A SHORTAGE,
WITH A SHORTAGE THE DEPARTMENT WOULD EITHER HAVE TO GIVE OUT O.T
OR HIRE MORE BODIES.

THE FOP HAD A GOOD IDEA AWHILE BACK ABOUT THROWING PEOPLE OUT OF THE FOP WHO WORKED A CERTAIN SPECIAL EMPLOYMENT. BUT MEMBER WHINED HOW TOUGH IT IS TO MAKE MONEY.

I MUST GET AT LEAST 3-4 OFFERS TO WORK SIDE JOBS MAKING OVER 20$ HR. CASH A MONTH.

SO WHEN THE TALKERS DECIDE TO SHOW UP FOR THOSE BORING FOP MEETING MAYBE THINGS WILL CHANGE... NOT!

What needs to happen is; The media has to stop reporting that the dead gangbanger was an honor student,choir boy,and saint. Start being dead honest about the morons, were not dealing with nice people who happen to sell drugs on the side.We are dealing with people who have no concience at all and would blink at the thought of killing you media types if they thought they might get away with it.Seriously, do you think we are out to hurt anyone,as in ,on purpose.Not at all ,but we want to go home everynight too.Maybe it's not fair to say that to the media because it's not their job to catch criminals,it's our job but I don't want them telling me how to do my job just like I don't tell them how to report the news.The problem is that what I see on t.v. isn't reporting, it's sensationalism.You can't tell me that when an incident happens and someone dies because of direct or indirect police action that it's actual reporting when they stick a rockhead on camera who claims the police murdered the goof.I hate to say it because it's not my nature to be lazy but I see it as the only option these days, it's better to be retired on the job than to get involved in an incident esp. if you ain't got clout.Even Al Capone could claim he did good things for the people and would have plenty of supporters to say what a great guy he was, the truth is that he was a murderer.I feel for the coppers involved in this, it could have been me, I play on that block often because hunting is good.I think that the media purposely wants to make us look bad.
