Starks Getting the Nod?

  • Interim Police Supt. Dana Starks' decision to abolish the Chicago Police Department's scandal-scarred Special Operations Section shows that Chicago's next police superintendent need not be an outsider, Mayor Daley said Wednesday.

    Police Board President Demetrius Carney has said Daley rejected the first three finalists for superintendent -- and ordered a new nationwide search -- because he wants a "change agent" to clean up the Police Department in the wake of the SOS scandal and embarrassing barroom brawls involving off-duty officers.

Of course, it won't be anyone from Sneed's latest droppings:
  • Sneed hears the targets of the ongoing probe of the Chicago Police Department's Special Operations Section are two commanders, two sergeants and one lieutenant.

    • • Tipsville: The investigation into the elite unit, which was disbanded Tuesday, will reportedly center on a federal probe of civil rights violations as well as official misconduct and obstruction of justice claims. Federal charges extend the statute of limitations.

    • • The upshot: The probe centers on whether top cops knew or should have known what was happening at SOS, a source said.

    • • The downshot: Officers in the elite unit were indicted for robbing and kidnapping people -- and one cop was charged with plotting to murder another officer. "Victims of these crimes were deprived of their right not to be terrorized," the source added.

    • • The buckshot: "It will make the old Summerdale police scandal, which resulted in the arrest of crooked cops back in 1960, look like an English tea party," said the source.

They're looking at big bosses. Are they looking at retired big bosses who moved bad cops around?

Off topic...What's up with the Request for Detectives to work "Hotel Security" at the boxing thing in Oct/Nov? 1: Why are we, city workers, being asked to work private "Hotel Security" for a for profit boxing event? 2. Why isn't the crooked bastard charging for this "security?" 3. This is one of the reasons the city is "broke." Give the heavies whatever they want and don't charge them for it. Create thousands of TIF's and don't charge the businesses for it. Give your friends city proerty for 100 dollars and let them build multi million dollar condo's on it. All for the good of Chicago. Lets double the sales tax and tax everthing at 25%....

You still have me laughing with your report.
Now with all of your years as a journalist, writer, and professional expertise. Have you not learned after all these years that you can't TRULY go after a politically connected person in this city. If you could, there would be a huge domino effect, and that will never happen.
In our department ONLY patrolman are sent to prison--were easy scape goats, and great news bite$$$$. I'm quite sure you know this already.

INFUCKINCREDIBLE!

"GED" Starks (or any "insider" for that matter) can't even take a dump without Daley's approval. Magnanimously, pisses are now pre-approved per "da mare".

No legitimate "outsider" wants to apply to be a puppet for Daley, regardless of salary.

So Chicago's taxpayers, most being either bought or brain dead, must now prepare for Daley's "Plan B" (or is it "Plan C"?) with the "spin" of Daley's controlled media (i.e., suckholes like Spielman and Sneed).

Don't let his lack of horns, a tail and a pitchfork fool you.
Daley is downright diabolical.

The CPD would be better off with Vladimir Putin over the rat cocksucker Daley.

What has Starks promised you? He does not have to be made to look weak- he is a total light weight. This guy is as competent as a two year old.

He has no skills.
He has no education.
He has no tact or diplomacy.
He cannot even qualify to be a dog catcher.

As to those feeding Sneed- they are doing to Starks what he did to them- backstabbing.

The only thing Starks has going for him is the suppor of the political ministers, the Strogers, and his ability to be the epitome of a back stabbing SOB.

If I was in the media and didn't live in the city, I would say all kinds of shit in the paper too.. I mean really what would I care. In fact the media doesn't even live in cook county.

why can't the sponsors of this event hire a security firm or hire off-duty police officers to maintain security? Why are hundreds of police officers and detectives doing this with city money????

I don't know Dan Dugan that well, but I will say this. After attending a few meetings with him, he's one of the few bosses who's willing to make a snap decision without agonizing over if for two weeks and consulting everyone and their mother before deciding on anything. And on top of that, he's even not afraid to admit he made a decision. (I wish I had dime for every boss that said "I never said that." I could retire early. The fucking pussies.) A lot of the bosses at 35th Street are terrified of making a decision because, God forbid (or should I say Daley forbid and is there any difference?), they might lose their gold star over it! Just do what what every copper on the street does: make the best decision you can and be prepared to "justify" it on paper. Then again, maybe it's not fear, but imcompetence that's the problem. I don't know. It's come to a point where I respect bosses that actually make decisions, and that's just plain sad.

Bill Nelligan was awesome. He had it down pat! During his opening address on the very first day as HRI he pulled open a desk drawer, lit a smoke and used the metal desk drawer as an impromptu ashtray. While walking the halls in the Academy he always had some kind of prop: papers in his hand, carrying a basketball, etc. and he was always coming from or going somewhere but you never actually saw him DO anything. The previous blogger was impressed by his keeping his Youth Officer status and pay, he wound up being the co-ordinator of the Physical Skills Section of the Academy thereby giving him COMMANDERS pay! This man was a GOD. Come back, Bill.....the CPD needs your talents. Superintendent Nelligan. Has a nice ring to it.

I object to illegal aliens. They are undocumented workers. In fact why do we need documents. Lets have undocumented doctors, businesses, marriages,construction sites, drivers, pilots etc. etc. F#ck the rules. Why are the police and decent people the only ones who have to play by them.

As someone who was "fucked over" by Radke you are 100% right. Couldn't have said it better myself. But he will probably slither away from all of this.

All you coppers do is BITCH about what boss isn't doing what, what unit sucks and who has clout. If you could get in a unit or be a boss you would be the same way. Shut the fuck up, make the job work for you and take your dumb ass home!

LETTER TO "DA MAYOR"... IF DANA STARKS DOES IN FACT BECOME SUPERINTENDANT OF POLICE WITH HIS VAST EDUCATION FROM THE G.E.D. PROGRAM, EXPECT A CLASS ACTIN LAWSUIT FROM THE BOYS IN BLUE WHO WERE SCREWED OVER WHEN IT WAS ANNOUNCED THAT ANY PO TAKING THE SGT. TEST HAD TO HAVE 60 CREDIT HOURS OF COLLEGE. AND EXPECT A LAWSUIT FROM THE SGTS WHO COULDNT TAKE THE LT'S EAM BECAUSE THEY NEEDED A B/A DGREE. IF STARKS CAN HEAD THE CHICAGO POLICE DEPT. (THE SECOND LARGEST FORCE IN THE COUNTRY)WITH A G.E.D. DIPLOMA, THEN I THINK IT STANDS TO REASON THAT THE COURTS WILL AGREE THAT SGTS AND LT'S NEED NOT HAVE AN EDUCATION GREATER THAN THAT OF THE SUPS.

That's exactly it, pal. The rules only apply to normal, average, law-abiding citizens. I can't even talk about illegals anymore without becoming a raging lunatic. All these asshole college kids and organizers....do they ever stop and think that rules give you rights? That there is a reason why we have fucking laws? Oh no, they want to live here. Well, fuck them. If the majority of the population behaved the way Slim Coleman and these organizers think illegals should be allowed to behave this country would self-destruct. Why should I have a license, insurance, registration? So I'M covered when some drunken fucking "proud" Mexican with a second grade education and a felony record totals my car and heads back to Tijuana. That's why.
It's us versus them my friends and don't let anybody tell you it ain't. I could go on but I already took my hypertension medicine today.

The only reason the dept requires a degree for promotion was to provide a bunch of made-up part time jobs as "teachers" in the BS classes thru lewis etc....
What are the only side gigs an exempt member can hold????

I believe in higher education, applaud all tuition reimburesement programs and admire any working stiff who "goes back to school"

I can NOT stomach the BS degree programs (books included in tuition, everyone gets an A and payment is deferred until the end of term) this dept has created.

and yes- they are created by the dept (not the schools- who are now so enamored of the easy tuition dough they are probably addicted) for the benefit of the "teachers" so lovingly provided by the dept.

A GED IS a high school diploma, if you are home schooled, that is what you get among other reasons for it. While I don't know if he ever pursued it, I do know that DS has at LEAST 45 hours of college credit. So you are barking up the wrong tree there...

Exempts can't have any side jobs Einstein.

Secondary employment for exempt members will be limited to:
1. teaching in an accredited educational institution;
2. writing books, articles or pamphlets;
3. engaging in a profession which is licensed by the State of Illinois, and for which a license is granted only after the licensee successfully completes a prescribed course of academic training and passes a required State examination.
4. other employment, only with the written permission of the Superintendent of Police.

Regarding the call for hotel security at the boxing match, I have two words for you: Jeremiah Joyce.

His son, one of four, all who have police records, Michael Joyce, promotes boxing matches and is using his father's clout to retain security for the matches - it's a joke.

Many of you will remember the other son, Danno who was arrested and convicted of drug dealing on high school campuses.

Who do you think protects the many drug houses in Beverly...?

The older son, Jeremiah, Jr., has domestic battery in his background.

Michael has batteries and assaults while the youngest, State Representative Kevin Joyce has been convicted of battery to a police officer.

These are those who are demanding your services.

Makes you feel special.

As for Bill Nelligan, great guy, but his ties to Joyce are a bit too much.

There's so much more to say, too.

Years ago I worked off-duty security jobs for Dana Starks, high school football games. I distinctly remember him taking college classes at that time.
