Its about time, put all those clout heavy mommas boys and girls out there back on the street back to reality.

No more "send me a paper car " nonsense.

Did you notice the other night when the computers were down not one disturbance from anonymous was given out, thats the way it should be all the time.

OEMC what a farce that is. Some hard working talented people down there and then there are some do nothing slug ass human beings.

Hey media ask why call takers dont use the details to follow feature the way they should. or why is a call taker getting descs of victims and not the offenders on the events.

Oemc is way out of control and useless , the old system worked much more efficiently.

The credit for this belongs to two fellows who are no longer with us; Terry Hillard and Phil Cline.

Hillard placed Frank Radtke and Jim Darling in-charge of SOS and Cline kept Radtke and moved in Matt Tobias in-place of Darling.

Neither Hillard or Cline wanted a strong disciplinary system and that is why they placed weaklings in-charge of IAD and OPS. Then they micro managed their handpicked stooges to ensure they did nothing. Who in their right mind would place Nate Gibson in-charge of anything?

We will end up with the Federal government running the Chicago Police Department as a result.

FYI: Expect long delays at central detention tonight. 1st district arrests always take precendent over outside arrests coming into the lock-up. From what I saw on the 4;30 news, there are least 30 criminal trespass to state supported land offenders at the Ickes tonight. Do we still have authority to arrest criminal offenders or were those removed along with SOS. This city is a joke!

The only way we will avoid having the Feds running the Department is with strong leadership and with the IAD and OPS doing their job.

It is time to put Cynthia White in charge of IAD and remove the current leader and her lieutenants that were picked by Cline to do nothing. She might be difficult but she is honest and the Feds love her.

You're an idiot! Its getting very old. "the real police, the working no clout police officer." I agree there are some good police officers that have no clout but eventually they're noticed and taken care of. It may take a little longer but it still gets done. I guess if you have clout you are not and will never be a good police officer according to you. Please, there are many clout police officers in units that you couldn't even sniff their jock straps you jealous B*tch!!! By the way you haven't needed any juice to get into SOS in over a year.

Then click on the video of the outdoor camera with all the SOS guys charging inside the bar.. There’s the number one asshole (Finnigan) wearing the official SOS uniform of the day.. The black hooded sweatshirt over his uniform. WHY didn’t their jag-off supervisors make them take off these fucking sweatshirts in the first place??

I’m glad to see these assholes gone. Our sergeant’s would get bombarded with “Request for Supervisor” jobs whenever these tools would come into the district.

The uniform shops should be making money in the next couple of weeks because these goofs will be forced to buy nametags for their uniforms now.

P.O. gets off work and picks up his son. He and his son go shopping and run a few errands. P.O. goes home and forgets to take his wallet and gun from the glove box. Half hour later his son uses his car to make a quick trip to the store. Not gone more than 2o mins. While exiting the vehicle to go back into his home approximate 50 feet away hes stopped by 8th district in regards to a call of shots being fired. The person who made the call sees this and informs the officers that this in not the person who fired the shots. Ignoring this information the officers proceed to detain the kid and search the vehicle. Finding the gun in the glove box the take the kid into custody. While doing so the kid tells the officers that his father is a P.O. and informs them that he must have left the gun in the car. The kid never knew it was there. Not caring the officers lock him up anyway and charge him with UUW. Upon finding out the P.O. immediately comes outside to find out whats going on and is brushed off by both the 2 P.O.'s and their Sgt. The P.O. then goes to the 8th dis and is immediately brushed off by the desk Sgt and the W.C. He is made to wait in the lobby while his son is processed. Needless to say ASA denied felony charges. While the P.O. is waiting his son is sitting in an interview room for 5 hours and has yet to be processed. When the P.O. finally leaves the station his son is processed and printed. 6 hours after initial arrest. Oh and by the way they impounded his car. If you think I'm making this up ask anyone in 008.

its a good point... but darling was probley one of the best bosses i worked for while i was in sos for about 8 years. he didnt take any sh*t from the bosses and definatly not from radke. everyone knows that he kept that unit in check and was a great boss to work for. the reason he was replaced is because he constantly told radke off and was not afraid to tell radke he truly thought about him. radke was the black sheep and the ring leader of sos and all of its troubles. everyone knows that jf was radkes guy and that jf could get away with anything cause radke would always cover it. darling forced jf out of sos because jf had the attituide of not having to listen to his sgts and lts.... but frankie radke just moved jf to the airport and replaced one of the best policeman and best bosses on this job...jimmy d....then of course once darling was out of the picture jf came back to the unit 2 weeks later... jd enjoy retirement boss... im sure youll love it when radke gets mixed up with the feds and the jf scandle.

While they are at it, get rid of TRU. When you constantly tell people over and over that they are the "superior," "elite" or "the best the department has to offer," people begin to believe the kool aid pep talks, feel superior to others that are the rank as them, and do what SOS did, thus making every hardworking officer look like a jackass.

Just think, these major assh*les went to New Orleans to represent the CPD over us lowly district officers. I hope they all get a shiv in the back while in prison like the shiv they stuck in our backs. The same could be said for the Super Knock Out Tony A.

Starks and all the other bosses alway want to talk about "accountability". Well, why don't they put their foot down and punish the supervisors who were in SOS who either looked the other way or applauded these idiots' antics. They should make Tobias a Field Lieutenant. He knew there was problems and did nothing. No leadership or people skills whatsoever. Only recruits will see him for anything but the joke he is. Demote those who have proven they are incapable instead of lateral moves or hiding them.

Sorry but ending TRU isn't the answer, 320 officers sent back to 25 districts equals 12.8 officers per district, or 4 per watch, wow! that's even if then went to all 025 districts, which they certainly wouldn't, they also would never see days.

Almost all came from busy districts, and would return to them if it did end. What's the difference, they are deployed to the ghetto every night anyway.
There are 33 Sgt spots but only 28 there, that barely one a district.
Ending the unit wont solve anything, here's some ideas that might:
1) hire more people
2) get the more than 600 that are on the medical on any given day back to work, off light duty etc.
3) get the dogs of all the watches to start handling their share, we all know that 10-15% of the people do 90% of the work, it's undeniable.
4) Stop this nonsense event number policing, it's ridiculous already, let the police be the police, not profession event number recorders.

Just a few ideas to start, I have more but i'm only a lowly Sgt. so most above our rank aren't interested in what we think.

Matt Tobias in-place of Darling

You missed Dan Duggan Dan Duggan replaced Darling, who was later replaced by Tobias. Tobias was there as a P.O., Lt. and finally a commander. Ask anyone who worked in SOS when Tobias was there and they will tell you he casued the downfall. He dumped the best Lt. that ever worked there, "The Barran", and replaced him with "Chemical Joe". That should tell you something about his wisdom. Tobias really believes he deserves to be an ADS. As the old saying goes, I know how he made ADS, but how did he ever make patrolman. Is Tobias a bad person? Eveyone has there own opinion. Is he sharp? About as sharp as a marble.

The person who made the call sees this and informs the officers that this in not the person who fired the shots. Ignoring this information the officers proceed to detain the kid and search the vehicle. Finding the gun in the glove box the take the kid into custody. While doing so the kid tells the officers that his father is a P.O. and informs them that he must have left the gun in the car. The kid never knew it was there. Not caring the officers lock him up anyway and charge him with UUW. Upon finding out the P.O. immediately comes outside to find out whats going on and is brushed off by both the 2 P.O.'s and their Sgt. The P.O. then goes to the 8th dis and is immediately brushed off by the desk Sgt and the W.C. He is made to wait in the lobby while his son is processed. Needless to say ASA denied felony charges. While the P.O. is waiting his son is sitting in an interview room for 5 hours and has yet to be processed. When the P.O. finally leaves the station his son is processed and printed. 6 hours after initial arrest. Oh and by the way they impounded his car. If you think I'm making this up ask anyone in 008.

I wish this happened to my kid...ID SUE THE FUCK OUT OF THIS GARBAGE PIT CALLED THE CPD FOR VIOLATION OF THE FOURTH AMENDMENT AGAINST UNLAWFUL SEARCH AND SEIZURE!

sure there was a fuck up in leaving the gun in the glove box, but sorry rogue over zealous CPD assholes, YOU do not have the right to perform a custodial search of a vehicle (and glove box is not included in protective vehicular pat down) on perceived suspicion. Unless the kid was in custody, you violated his rights under the constitution of the United States.

Enjoy the pending litigation, and fuck you very much for costing this city millions which will be compensated for in property tax increase. eat shit you rogue assholes

How many millions, or better yet hundreds of millions of dollars have you assholes cost us? How many tax paying dollars have been wasted in lawsuit payouts because of CPD misconduct? Even if half of the lawsuits are bullshit (which from what I have observed over the years having worked in 011, 015, 025, 014, A/4, and narcotics is a conservative number) CPD STILL is responsible for more money than 10 olypics would cost.

Those who live in glass houses need not throw stones. And dont act like this is some shocking statement. Anyone who has worked in this department for over 5 years can attest to the fact that there is probably 100x more situations which would deem a lawsuit than is actually filed. So deem yourselves lucky and realize that this department is FULL of assholes costing this city more money than one could even fathom.

I dont look down at the mayor, or city council, or any one else in city government after being part of this society called the CPD. Want to know why property taxes are on the rise? Take a look in the mirror.

gang bangers are gang bangers... drug dealers are drug dealers... as far as i have seen there are no open air drug markets where I live. So why risk everything to make a case stick? They will get theirs... and if the law prevents you from getting that finding of guilty who cares? Its not your neighborhood that will suffer, it's theirs... so they STILL lose. And if the "honest" people in that neighborhood dont have the good sense to get a job and get out, then theyre as dumb as the aforementioned, so fuck them too.

A word to the wise, do what they think they want, follow the law to a T and let them learn the hard way... then we all win... have a job, dont make front page, and go home to our nice homes, great family, and comfortable lives. All the while they have to deal with increase crime, dope dealers on their porches and intimidation from their own kind. And when they cry for the police, grin and say "I told ya so".

The rev will scream for police action, kindly state "we are doing all we can within the limits of the letter of the law." Show video of the police approaching an obvious drug dealer, not go through his pockets, not detain him for any more than a reasonable amount of time, fill out a contact card, and go about his business, being sure to not violate this citizens rights whatsoever. THAT is standing up to these assholes. Give them what they want...

then, and only then will they realize be careful what you ask for, you may just get it!

its a good point... but darling was probley one of the best bosses i worked for while i was in sos for about 8 years. he didnt take any sh*t from the bosses and definatly not from radke. everyone knows that he kept that unit in check and was a great boss to work for. the reason he was replaced is because he constantly told radke off and was not afraid to tell radke he truly thought about him. radke was the black sheep and the ring leader of sos and all of its troubles. everyone knows that jf was radkes guy and that jf could get away with anything cause radke would always cover it. darling forced jf out of sos because jf had the attituide of not having to listen to his sgts and lts.... but frankie radke just moved jf to the airport and replaced one of the best policeman and best bosses on this job...jimmy d....then of course once darling was out of the picture jf came back to the unit 2 weeks later... jd enjoy retirement boss... im sure youll love it when radke gets mixed up with the feds and the jf scandle.

Dear Media,

Please stop using the term Elite Unit when describing the FORMER embarrassing SOS Unit. One of the last questions you were asked when interviewing for the unit was “Who is your sponsor?” Does this sound like a fair question from a Unit that was Elite that was legit and only wanted the best officers?? The phrase fits your quest to make the story sound more interesting but is insulting to the rest of the harder working officers in the city. You will see what bullshit the Unit actually was when all of the crime stats stay the same after they have been disbanded for a year.

TRU is adding a FIFTH platoon of 80 guys. That will make over 400 PO's and 30 sergeants. Most will come from SOS and they must fill out applications. PO's with too many beefs will not be accepted.

TRU will now rotate days and afternoons. Each platoon will work days for a period every fifth month, meaning two months a year.

This is done to keep the federal dollars coming in from Washington, you need so many PO's working during school time to get the cash.

008th District, what you did to that copper's kid last week was, in a word, shameful. Especially when the copper comes out of his house and informed you that HE had left HIS BADGE AND SNUB in the glove box, and that his son, who has never been arrested before, had no knowledge that these items were in the car. Rather than show that any of the lame assed supervisors in 008 (Sgt., W/C) had just a spoonful of common sense, the copper's son has now been charged with misdemeanor UUW.
What has this job come to? Are there any intelligent supervisors in 008, since the patrolmen out there obviously don't have a clue?

3 things wrong one, wear your gun or secure it...department policy.2 there must be more to the story that they would randomly pick your kid to stop and he just happens to have your gun in the car...accidentally following a shotsfired call, and 3 next time something embarrassing happens to you might want to keep it as private as possible. But I'm sure when your lawsuit comes out they will have thrown you to the ground,crushed your genitals,sacrificed your family pet to the devil,taken the last can of coke from your fridge,drove your kid to the station on the roof of the car while other "unknown" coppers laughed and begged for more punishment as they held you back from saving your child. anyway I'm gonna have to say there is more to the story.

Never worked in SOS but there were many, many, more good guys in SOS than bad guys. They had there share of strokes, but there were a lot of very good, agressive coppers there. Finnigan, Herrera, Suchocki, etc., fuck them. They are a disgrace. But lets ease up on calling the whole unit out. Nobody said Englewood was a jagoff district after Corey Flagg and crew were indicted. Give these guys a chance when they arrive in the districts. If you think they are strokes after three or four periods, then fine. A comment about TRU while I'm here. Before one of you gets killed, please think about what you are doing. I'm completely serious. I've seen dozens of TRU cops stop cars over the last two years. A two man TRU unit pulls over a car with 3-4 heads inside. They tell everyone to get out at once. Then one copper starts searching the car immediately while his partner starts patting down 3-4 suspects at the back of the car by himself. It's scary to watch. If any TRU people are reading this, I'm not preaching, but saftey first! Get them out one at a time, pat them down one at a time. Then one of you can search the car if you belive there in contraband inside. It aint going anywhere. Any TRU sgts out there reading this should go over officer safety at roll call. One of these kids is going to get seriously hurt or worse if you don't. I mean it.

What was White's calim to fame? She was part of a group of corrupt officers dealing drugs and steaking money. She flipped and was rewarded for cooperation not ability and talent. Now as captain, she will hurt any officer possible. Is it true she leads the department in CR#'s on officers? Her and the other captain in 017 are fine role models for female captains. WTF!

Dear Sgt. Pissed,

Did you not realize that the above post was merely a juvenile yet surprisingly successful attempt to add flames to a smoldering paper bag filled with the dog shit that has become the essenence of CPD pride and unity for the job? Most sane commentators on this blog usually refrain from being so obviously baited by this kind of ruse. Your retort as equally juvenile if not more so moronic, gives a greater and more disturbing look into the soft and frustated psyche of many supervisors on this job. /Insert/ imagine a child on the beach poking a defenseless and traumatized jellyfish with a stick, while it slowly succumbs to a humiliating fate under a blazing sun...during a CAPS meeting. I applaud you for your achievement in being a non-meritorius sgt., however, the fact that you feel inclined to point this out in your signature line also reveals a little more of your inner douchebagedness, if ever a term could be properly designated to your pathetic ego. Translation: you're still a cock but without the benefit of clout. In closing I would just like to add that although you were easily duped into responding to the above post, your important contribution to the blogging community--an uneducated opinion with little merit, pun intended--has made everyone just a bit more at ease, if not feeling more fortunate in their own districts/place of assignment, knowing that they don't work for you. Stay pissed. Stay away from TRU.

To cop whose kid was arrested in 008:

When your lawyer files your complaint against the city in federal court, name the AOs, the watch commander, and the commander. When corp counsel offers a settlement on behalf of the city it will come on the condition that you drop the suit against the officers. REFUSE, no matter how much they offer. This is a great market for CPD lawsuits.

Your condition of a settlement should come with a personal settlement from each of the officers.

Once the kid was away from the car, the patdown could not include the car, and could NEVER include the glove box.

After you get punitives from the officers, be sure to immediately put liens on their homes. You may never see the money, but those cops will have to live in the city for the rest of their lives or lose the home outright. You'll eventually get the money after they die, which won't be too long after all the stress they've been through.

A comment about TRU while I'm here. Before one of you gets killed, please think about what you are doing. I'm completely serious. I've seen dozens of TRU cops stop cars over the last two years. A two man TRU unit pulls over a car with 3-4 heads inside. They tell everyone to get out at once. Then one copper starts searching the car immediately while his partner starts patting down 3-4 suspects at the back of the car by himself. It's scary to watch. If any TRU people are reading this, I'm not preaching, but saftey first! Get them out one at a time, pat them down one at a time. Then one of you can search the car if you belive there in contraband inside. It aint going anywhere. Any TRU sgts out there reading this should go over officer safety at roll call. One of these kids is going to get seriously hurt or worse if you don't. I mean it.

Sory, I am there and i've never seen that, when they get them out of the car they are cuffed together for SAFETY, then the stop continues. Enough with this kids shit, all these people came from the working districts you talk so much about, 007, 011, 006, 005, 010, 008,015, most have over 4-7 yrs. on, some have alot more and were in housing south prior to TRU, so quit your bs, you should be more worried about the ppos in the districts that seem to know it all their first week on the street.

While they are at it, get rid of TRU. When you constantly tell people over and over that they are the "superior," "elite" or "the best the department has to offer," people begin to believe the kool aid pep talks, feel superior to others that are the rank as them, and do what SOS did, thus making every hardworking officer look like a jackass.

Just think, these major assh*les went to New Orleans to represent the CPD over us lowly district officers. I hope they all get a shiv in the back while in prison like the shiv they stuck in our backs. The same could be said for the Super Knock Out Tony A.

The only people calling them elite are the media, nobody there thinks that or is told that, sounds like you have been drinking too much kool-aid the media is serving.

I attend the DOC every week and their numbers are always better than that, i'm surprised actually because once all that manpower hits a DOC, on top of the regular district personnel and whatever other unit is there, it is over-saturated to the point that they trip over each other and things shut down. I know thats the idea but think that the numbers they produce are pretty good considering that fact. I am glad to see them in my district, and shootings are rare in the DOC when they are assigned. Keep them coming.

SOS have been overrated since they had the name Ryan's Raiders. All they could do is abuse people and leave the mess to the district people who dealt with it for days afterward. Their supervisors didnt even have to handle their accident, they were handled by the District but the Sergeant would always call to make sure that it was made non-preventable, even if they hit a pole in a parking lot. All of them should go back to the District to learn what the job is all about, and that includes their supervisors. Next, get rid of TRU, it is just another place to hide these useless goofs.

P.O. gets off work and picks up his son. He and his son go shopping and run a few errands. P.O. goes home and forgets to take his wallet and gun from the glove box. Half hour later his son uses his car to make a quick trip to the store. Not gone more than 2o mins. While exiting the vehicle to go back into his home approximate 50 feet away hes stopped by 8th district in regards to a call of shots being fired. The person who made the call sees this and informs the officers that this in not the person who fired the shots. Ignoring this information the officers proceed to detain the kid and search the vehicle. Finding the gun in the glove box the take the kid into custody. While doing so the kid tells the officers that his father is a P.O. and informs them that he must have left the gun in the car. The kid never knew it was there. Not caring the officers lock him up anyway and charge him with UUW. Upon finding out the P.O. immediately comes outside to find out whats going on and is brushed off by both the 2 P.O.'s and their Sgt. The P.O. then goes to the 8th dis and is immediately brushed off by the desk Sgt and the W.C. He is made to wait in the lobby while his son is processed. Needless to say ASA denied felony charges. While the P.O. is waiting his son is sitting in an interview room for 5 hours and has yet to be processed. When the P.O. finally leaves the station his son is processed and printed. 6 hours after initial arrest. Oh and by the way they impounded his car. If you think I'm making this up ask anyone in 008.

-----------------------------------
you stupid a-holes....do you really think thats how it went down? I work that area and know that coppers kid and his gang-bangin friends. the only reason why he doesnt have a rap sheet a mile long is because his daddy is the po-lice. This kid has been taken into custody in the past for flashing a BB gun at citizens while in a passing vehicle but later released because his daddy is the po-lice. Neither the copper or his kid even live on that block.
The R/O's as well as every copper in the 30 sector responded to call of shots fired. The R/o's were flagged by a citizen (victim) who stated that he was just shot at by five M/1's in a black S.U.V. The R/O's drive two blocks and, what do you know, a black S.U.V. with five M/1's. A coincidence? I friggin doubt it.
The SGT on scene handled it like a pro. Good think he is also an M/1 because I'm sure if he wasnt the race card would have been pulled.

"The kid was running to the store and was only gone for 2 min"-----yeah, ok. but he had time to pick up his 4 hood rat buddies.

Now shut your mouth, copper, you and your kid f'd up. Now deal with it. Dont spread any more lies about how it went down. The supervisors did what they had to do. Your kid has abused your being the police and has been cut way too much slack in the past. Now its all over.
Now make sure you get a CR on everybody involved for doing their jobs the right way. because thats what the animal does. Enjoy your 15 days.

P.O. gets off work and picks up his son. He and his son go shopping and run a few errands. P.O. goes home and forgets to take his wallet and gun from the glove box. Half hour later his son uses his car to make a quick trip to the store. Not gone more than 2o mins. While exiting the vehicle to go back into his home approximate 50 feet away hes stopped by 8th district in regards to a call of shots being fired. The person who made the call sees this and informs the officers that this in not the person who fired the shots. Ignoring this information the officers proceed to detain the kid and search the vehicle. Finding the gun in the glove box the take the kid into custody. While doing so the kid tells the officers that his father is a P.O. and informs them that he must have left the gun in the car. The kid never knew it was there. Not caring the officers lock him up anyway and charge him with UUW. Upon finding out the P.O. immediately comes outside to find out whats going on and is brushed off by both the 2 P.O.'s and their Sgt. The P.O. then goes to the 8th dis and is immediately brushed off by the desk Sgt and the W.C. He is made to wait in the lobby while his son is processed. Needless to say ASA denied felony charges. While the P.O. is waiting his son is sitting in an interview room for 5 hours and has yet to be processed. When the P.O. finally leaves the station his son is processed and printed. 6 hours after initial arrest. Oh and by the way they impounded his car. If you think I'm making this up ask anyone in 008.

-----------------------------------
you stupid a-holes....do you really think thats how it went down? I work that area and know that coppers kid and his gang-bangin friends. the only reason why he doesnt have a rap sheet a mile long is because his daddy is the po-lice. This kid has been taken into custody in the past for flashing a BB gun at citizens while in a passing vehicle but later released because his daddy is the po-lice. Neither the copper or his kid even live on that block.
The R/O's as well as every copper in the 30 sector responded to call of shots fired. The R/o's were flagged by a citizen (victim) who stated that he was just shot at by five M/1's in a black S.U.V. The R/O's drive two blocks and, what do you know, a black S.U.V. with five M/1's. A coincidence? I friggin doubt it.
The SGT on scene handled it like a pro. Good think he is also an M/1 because I'm sure if he wasnt the race card would have been pulled.

"The kid was running to the store and was only gone for 2 min"-----yeah, ok. but he had time to pick up his 4 hood rat buddies.

Now shut your mouth, copper, you and your kid f'd up. Now deal with it. Dont spread any more lies about how it went down. The supervisors did what they had to do. Your kid has abused your being the police and has been cut way too much slack in the past. Now its all over.
Now make sure you get a CR on everybody involved for doing their jobs the right way. because thats what the animal does. Enjoy your 15 days.
-----------------------------------
Its true...is a disgrace if this would have been a family member of your own....however..everyone knows that the worst offenders you could ever lock up are coppers kids. Alot of us look the other way when something like this happens, but youre making the job harder for the next P.O. who has to confront johnny next time he gets stop because somehow he has immunity. Case in point: the recent demotion of 5th dist. Commander Matthews and his alter boy child...he gets arrested in 024 for assaulting a honest complainant....he gets arrested in 019 for a UUW...and recently stop in 023 for having "stolen" police squad car keys....whats does matthews do....puts cr #s on 024 coppers....pushes around 019 coppers....and fluffs the 023 wc...how about being a parent for a change.....the 008 po's did their job AND "DID IT WELL."

----------------------------

Is this a test question on the next sergeant's exam?

Here's the answer. The kid get locked up and charged for U.U.W. because he was in control of the car and the gun WAS in the glove box.

The stupid father (police officer) has a CR number initiated against him for leaving his gun in the glove box.

It sounds like the ASA was smart enough to know a felony would never fly in this case. HOWEVER, the misdemeanor has a good chance of sticking unless you pay a SHITLOAD in attorney’s fees.

IAD could and SHOULD give the dumb officer 30 days (Not pending) and hopefully it will get knocked down to 15 days.

This is just another example why many of us would HATE to work in 008 or 016 with moronic not to mention whining-ass coppers.

“When your lawyer files your complaint against the city in federal court, name the A.O.s, the watch commander, and the commander. When Corp Counsel offers a settlement on behalf of the city it will come on the condition that you drop the suit against the officers. REFUSE, no matter how much they offer. This is a great market for CPD lawsuits. . . . Once the kid was away from the car, the pat down could not include the car, and could NEVER include the glove box.”

"If we are to hang, let us hang together, for we will most assuredly hang seperately." Benjamin Franklin at the signing of the Declaration of Independence. I have no love for anyone dirty, but between the Brass, the Midget, and the Media, to attack even those who entered SOS long after all of this scandalous shit....man, you're no better than the hair gel kids....thin blue line my ass. You ought to be ashamed, the fuckups, yeah, they're fuckups, show me one district, one unit, etc. that doesn't have it's share of jacktards......any job I've ever had to include the military, is full of "good ol boy" politics, idiots protected from the public and themselves, the lazy, incompetent and the rest who just suffer with most of the hard work.
Yeah, it's a hard job, but it's not the military, you can QUIT if you want to, you can UNITE as PO's if you WANT to, you can just let yourself get run over. We need to spend more time rebuilding US and fighting THEM! If you wear a blue shirt and push a blue and white car around this city, you have an obligation to every other copper trying to do the same thing and come home alive. All we have is each other, more so now than ever....never had media support, never had city gov't support, and since I've been on, very little support from the top....let's face it, as far as the public is concerned, if it was on TV, it's got to be true, so we're it, just us, because there's noone else. Think about that the next time you're gonna blast a fellow copper,
cause you might be the next poor dumb bastard caught on tape.

What? i've been on 14 years kid and guess what, the kid would've been locked up 10 years ago as well, we don't cover up murders, sorry, you obviously watch too much tv. It would be sad for the parents but he would get locked up.

I read the arrest report. It says the vehicle matched the description of a vehicle used in a shots fired call. How many black SUV's are in this city. It makes no mention of anyone else in the car and it further goes on to say that he was walking away from the car when he was stopped. It further says that they went back to the car and searched it. So lets see 1 person walking away from a car that looks like a lot of other cars in the city and an illegal search. The copper will no doubt take some time but can you say lawsuit.

-----------------------------------
A CR# was obtained on the officer's who made the arrest. Thing is, the 003rd Dist cop didn't obtain it. I talked to him earlier today, he doesn't put beefs in on cops. It wouldn't be honorable. The beef came from the other kid just watching what was going on, not in the car, and just got scooped up for
"looking like a gang banger". He got charged with reckless conduct along with the other two people that were in the car.(Not four hood rats; Get your facts right dick head). What was so reckless about their conduct.Don't put lies on paper to justify your bullshit. Tell it like it was. Didn't you read what happened to those S.O.S. guys on 63rd ST. Good police don't put cases on people nor do they condone the actions of ignorant cops, Scarred ass lucky sperm Sgts. and egotistical Lts. Every one is saying there must be more to this story, but understand this, there is no more to the story. That's why there is so much feedback. If there was more to the story it wouldn't be on SCC. Ask any "Good" supervisor what they would've done. Face it, this caper was FUBAR all the way from the Cop who left his gun in the car, to the way it was poorly handled by Officers and supervisors. But don't worry, when I catch your kids from Mt. Greenwood buying weed in the projects ,I always give em a play.
That's how the real Police Get Down.
