And the Beatings Continue

  • If an employee's misconduct cost a private company millions of dollars or caused public embarrassment, that employee would be fired. No doubt about it.

    But no such punishment faces Chicago police officers found liable for abusing the people they have sworn to serve and protect. Instead of firing those cops, the city keeps paying the victims -- hundreds of millions of dollars over the years -- for beatings, false arrests or illegal searches. And the cops get to keep their jobs. How much more will it cost before the city gets rid of rogue cops?

And accompanied by this cartoon:

The two examples cited by the editorial writers are as follows:
  • The $4 million payout for the screwdriver "sodomy"
  • The $2 million payout for "trumped up" kidnapping charges
In the first example, no mention is made of the judge who banned the testimony that stated in part that NO determination could be made where the DNA on the screw driver came from (animal or human) . And no mention is made at all that shoving the pointed end of screwdriver in someone's rectum is going to be leaving great gaping tears, not a quarter inch slit.

The second case was strong enough to have a State's Attorney approve charges and tried in front of a jury. The guy charged was prosecuted on a number of incriminating statements he himself made to the State. Yet the police are the only ones liable?

And of course, the writers bring up the Abbate video, ignoring the fact that Abbate was a drunk and the warning signs were ignored by quite a large number of higher up supervisors because of the political connections. Maybe instead of asking how much "rogue cops" are costing the city, someone ask how much connected and "meri-clout-orious" political animals are bleeding the taxpayers?

personally...I have no beefs with the guys from s.o.s. in the districts and I do appreciate seeing them in the district where I live. but, if you work in a district now...I don't really care to see you in your hoodie (with s.o.s. logo) and skull cap (chose your favorite sports team or motorcycle company), there are plenty of uniform options to pick a warm one. if that was the "uniform" in s.o.s. then make a call and go to a unit or a tact/ gang team and dress anyway you please. otherwise, please, have a little respect for the uniform. and no...I'm not jealous and I don't wear a uniform now...but, if i did, I would wear it the right way !

As a long time Chicago Cop, I can easily explain this concept well.

Many of the bosses come from political connections... where greed and corruption is rampant. These bosses are not angels. And when they in turn pick other bosses they have to select ones they have "sinned" with to keep them happy (and quiet). Additionally, no boss wants anybody looking smarter or better than them, so they in turn pick people who will not out-shine them.

That is why so many people voted for Bill Clinton. He was a complete mess. From his personal relationships, his lies about it and his party boy appearance. Who out there really doesn't feel better about themselves when they can look at the President of the USA and say, wow, I have so many less things wrong with me and my family members that the President.

Most if not nearly all of the bosses DON'T want people who can recognize problems and offer solutions, because then they actually have to do something about it and take a chance on something with the possibility of it failing. They surround themselves with people who do nothing but tell them how much of a God they are and how everything is perfect ever since they became the big boss.

It is a circle of complete incompetence. We have officers who have elected to stay either P.O.'s or Detectives simply because they don't want to sell their souls or be forced not use the intelligence the Lord has graced them. They stay at their low level position and do it fantastically.

The "thin blue line" is nothing to the "fat white line"... They will stop at nothing to keep getting fatter at all of our expense. The WHITE SHIRT EXEMPT CLUB is most protective club their is on this job.

In the old days it was thick envelopes of cash. Today it has been replaced with borderline legal bribes. From being put on some corporate board with a salary for no work, being informed where to buy property at very low values where the Government is going to spend MILLIONS to improve the area and making big $$$$$$ in profits to the various free memberships to various organizations, social clubs and golf clubs. But don't think for a second there still isn't some cash envelopes being handed out also.

Also every illegal criminal organization from the Mob, Street Gangs to Cartel Drug Dealers have a connection on this job. Some of these connections are outright and some are indirect. There are many bosses on this job who have something they have done (either illegally or sexually) being held over them to have favors and things done.

My dad and brothers and I have almost a total of 90 years with the CPD, seen everything I just wrote about and heard about stuff I don't even want to repeat.

The advice told to me that I have always used, Trust NOBODY, Say Nothing and do the best you can and enjoy this job. Enjoy the perks we still have left and never put yourself in the position of being used later.

God Bless all the sisters and brothers in blue.

WASHINGTON:

Both sides in a closely watched legal battle over the District of Columbia's strict gun-control law are urging the Supreme Court to hear the case. If the justices agree - a step they may announce as early as Tuesday - the Roberts court is very likely to find itself back on the front lines of the culture wars with an intensity unmatched even by the cases on abortion and race that defined the court's last term.

The question is whether the Second Amendment to the Constitution protects an individual right to "keep and bear arms." If the answer is yes, as a federal appeals court held in March, the justices must decide what such an interpretation means for a statute that bars all possession of handguns and that requires any other guns in the home to be disassembled or secured by trigger locks.

Anything--absolutely anything to restore some semblance of honor, integrity, morale and professionalism to the FUBAR management of this City and this police department.

Like never before, CLOUT has run amok! No "merit" promotions and assignments. (OUTSIDERS: It's anything but actual MERIT). We have long passed mere mediocrity in this downward spiral into the abyss.

Chicagoans will ultimately get the police force they derserve: a band of six-figure salaried incompetent political hacks, all--directly or indirectly--Daley sycophants.

Mr. Fitzgerald and the USDOJ: How often must we cry out "MAYDAY"? Federal receivership NOW! The last thing we need is another "insider" as top cop.

Doesn't the fact that Daley cannot get an independent and desperately needed "OUTSIDER" to oversee the CPD tell you something?

For whatever reasons, sinister or otherwise, the "ever-vigilant" local media just ignore the real catastrophe:

CLOUT! CLOUT! CLOUT! C-L-O-U-T!!! This cancer has so metastasized within the upper echelon of the CPD that the crisis is terminal.

For openers, can't the media demand an outsider for superintendent and that the City define the word "MERIT" in categorical and unequivocal written language that passes muster with Merriam-Webster?

NO!

CPD "MERIT" = CLOUT.

Why do we remain "anonymous"? Because the treacherous and vindictive City of Chicago is merciless in retaliating against active officers who speak God's truth.

SCC,

I don't know if you want to start a new thread or leave this here, but yesterday (11 Nov 07) Area 5 HGS had a closed door roll call. During this roll call certain detectives were informed that future police involved shootings are going to be investigated by OPS and the State's Attorney's Office, while experienced homicide detectives just stand by doing nothing.
Most of us know that the majority of "witnesses" to police shootings are nothing but lying pieces of shit with an agenda, and more often than not we (the detectives) can prove their full of shit based on the evidence.
I know many patrolman don't like the detectives but the detectives assigned to police shootings across the city are usually some of the most experienced detectives around. If the malcontents from OPS and the ASA's office begin to take over they are going to take the word of the lying gangbangers on face value without any corroboration or challenging their version of what happened. The minute one of these "witnesses" alleges some type of police misconduct I can see the focus of the investigation switching directly to a criminal investigation, and maybe charging, of the police officer(s) involved.
The clowns from OPS and the ASA's office are not experienced investigators and wouldn't know how to conduct an investigation if their political hack lives depended on it.
If this idea does in fact come to be our UNION better step up, because if they don't I can see good, honest, and innocent cops being railroaded by two agencies hell bent on making a name for themselves.
To all you guys and gals on the street I offer one bit of advice: If your life or the life of another police officer is not in jeopardy let these assholes kill one another. Forget the protection of life policy when it comes to anyone but the police. Be careful.

OK, maybe we weren't clear. We were pointing out that the editorial picked two of the weakest cases that they could have in painting CPD as full of "rogue" officers. The two cited cases had no business anywhere near a courtroom. None at all.

The Abbate thing has turned into a bad joke. Every single time something goes wrong, here comes the Abbate case! Abbate was an aberration. We haven't found a person yet who supported his actions. The only beef is the over-the-top criminal charges, but to a man (or woman) everyone supports his being fired.

So to the first comment, you are badly mistaken. To the second, we've been calling it as we see it since the beginning. The media has been using the wrong examples to make their cases since the beginning. If you believe for a second that anyone stuck a screwdriver up someone's ass, you are sadly deluded.

If you think it was there to go in someone's ass after dope, you're an idiot. Why would you put a screwdriver near where a prisoners hands are secured? Everyone carries rubber gloves now if they are that desperate for a dope pinch.

It's because we don't have any dimestore reverands who can fill bus loads of people to march on city hall and cry RACISM or SEXISM!! I would love to see the fallout if the picture reflected all blacks or females just to compare reactions. Never ending apologies from the paper who ran the picture and probably a huge "donation" to the hack reverands "church" who bitched the loudest for a lawsuit.

The Department of Law will not vigorously litigate any of these suits. If they did, and won a major victory, many of the so called justice law firms would be put out of business.

This is the legal business and they are all in cahoots together. The settlements keep their brother lawyers happy. It is not about justice, it is about the kachingos.

One good case, that is all it takes. One good scandalous case that the city fights vigorously and wins and the ball game is all over. It will not happen.

This is gray line corruption. Lawyers protecting Lawyers incomes. It has nothing to do with you or the city. Just the good old boys of the ABA.

okay idiots, shove this up your ass: a screwdriver, one of a few, was found in the glovebox. this particular screwdriver tested positive for a chemical consistent w/ fecal matter. NOT dna, blood or fecal matter matching suing shitbird. look in any squad trunk, behind seats or glovebox and 2 of 3 will contain multiple hammers, baseball bats, sticks, pipes, knives, asst. hand tools and YES screwdrivers. all confiscated from fine citizens or arrestees looking to rob, batter or burglarize someone or thing. picture all those homeless hypes who scrap or burglarize, that get locked up constantly with tools on them. they are the filthiest of all. there is fecal matter all over their clothes. you know, the ones that everyone has to come look at to see who is causing the gross smell that fills the whole station. you can bet that a lot of their tools, when subject to testing, would reveal traces of blood or a chemical consistent w/ fecal matter. THAT is how asst. tools/weapons including screwdivers, end up in a squad's glovebox. anyone questioning this is not a cop or has forgotten their days in patrol. ahhh, now i feel better.

Since most people in your profession have no point of reference in which to judge policing or Police Officers the smart stance would be to shut up until you do.. However, in order for this to occur several inconvient truths would have to come out too; (ie. you will do just about anything to sell your product especially give up your "integrity", certain communities are worse do to the lack of social and family structure etc. and it is a noticable difference u should call it like it is without fear of offending someones race-it doesnt change the truth does it?) Being the Police is the best job, it is a choice we make everyday to take a stand amongst the evils in world of savagery and do our best to make a contribution to a better society. We sacrifice our bodies and sometimes our souls. Our family and friends often go without us because of our shifts. AND STILL WE GO ON... I would rather you simply say "thank you" and be on your way. We will continue to do our policework and remain vigilate against those work against us--Although now I believe it includes you too.

The Abbate thing has turned into a bad joke. Every single time something goes wrong, here comes the Abbate case! Abbate was an aberration. We haven't found a person yet who supported his actions. The only beef is the over-the-top criminal charges, but to a man (or woman) everyone supports his being fired.

So to the first comment, you are badly mistaken. To the second, we've been calling it as we see it since the beginning. The media has been using the wrong examples to make their cases since the beginning. If you believe for a second that anyone stuck a screwdriver up someone's ass, you are sadly deluded.

i worked in the same district as Abbate. i never saw him drunk at work. i don't know how a boss could discipline him if it is not job related. he was hammered off-duty and supposedly a legendary drunk. but at work, i never saw him drunk. maybe others know more?

Why was the screwdriver in the glove compartment? If memory serves me right; I would never put my fingers or hand up some drugees ass and often used something else---like a screwdriver or pliers.
RIGHT?

every squadcar has crap like that in it. u see a guy walking with a bat, screwdriver or hammer, and he's not playing ball or working. u take it from him and throw it in the trunk. before he beats or stabs someone.
but this guy was treated and released from the hospital. the guy in new york that did have a mop handle shoved up his ass spent two months in the hospital getting splinters removed from his ass.
now tell me genius? if this guy had a screwdriver shoved up his ass repeatedly would he be treated and released?
do a test on your own ass, and let us know the results when your shitting in a bag for the rest of your life.

We have a screwdriver in our glove box. 1. Its easier to pop off the plastic hubcaps on our outdated tires than with the stupid jack they give us...that bar can crack the plastic cap

2. Having a screwdriver handy helps start that hot car

3. Our pdt mount is broken. The ONLY way to remove our pdt is to take a screwdriver (or stick or something) and pry the release mechanism up from the bottom.

So there you have it. I don't do dope. Could care less what someone puts up their ass. And don't often use a screwdriver. But it is a handy tool, and you are a useless tool.

I also love the fact how people think that wining a civil case against the Officers that they are automatically guilty. If the public only knew how much our testimony is thrown out and we are not allowed to testify to what happened. I always find it funny when I am sworn in to go to testify I swear to tell the WHOLE truth. In reality I am not able to do so because I am not allowed to by the court due to motions. I probably should not swear to tell the whole truth, because, truth be told I cannot or I'll be held in contempt. Then again If I say i cannot tell the truth because of the judges ruling then I guess I would also be held in contempt.

Addendum X of CPD General Order 07-69 specifically requires officers to use a sterilized twelve inch titanium forceps when extracting contraband from the lower colon of a subject. Furthermore, this procedure must be in full compliance with the U.S. Supreme Court guidelines in Estate of Uranus v. City of New York, 133 S. Ct. 1069.

First, wearing a latex glove, the officer must generously lubricate the suspect's anal sphincter, preferably with water-soluble Abolene or K-Y jelly. The order further stipulates that upon extraction, the officer will submit the used forceps in a hermetically-sealed clear plastic bag to the on-duty watch commander in the district of occurrence. The watch commander will then ensure that the forceps is processed in the district autoclave before being returned to service. Each station must be equipped with a minimum of three pairs of the authorized forceps at all times.

All extractions, successful or otherwise, must be documented in quadruplicate on CPD Form 69-4-2 (Revised 2006).

However, as noted by the 9:01 AM poster, police officers have many lawful uses for a scewdriver while on duty.

Correction, he was allowed to fuck up. A drunken situation like this (beating the tiny female bartender) is a long time in the making. Whoever enabled this drunkard bears as much, if not more, responsibility as Abbate. The CPD has programs in place for situations like this and evidently someone protected his active addiction until he was so out of control he became an embarrassment to the entire department.

If you're in charge, you need to nip that shit in the bud, period.

To those yelling at SCC for not outlining how Abbate was covered for his entire career, go through some of the old posts about Abbate...

DUI in 1992 that should have kept him from being hired, but that was waived because of clout

Drag racing traffic convictions

Thrwown out of 019 by none other than Maurer himself after a bunch of burglary proceeds went missing. Abbate took time for failure to inventory bullshit

Defendent in death in custody in 1999 investigation. settled.

Divorced by wife after she took a few too many beating like the bartender did

Order of protecttion after he beat up wife's family

Hauled out of numerous bars by eveyone and their brother to save him from himself. No one there at Shortstop to stop him though.

okay idiots, shove this up your ass: a screwdriver, one of a few, was found in the glovebox. this particular screwdriver tested positive for a chemical consistent w/ fecal matter. NOT dna, blood or fecal matter matching suing shitbird. look in any squad trunk, behind seats or glovebox and 2 of 3 will contain multiple hammers, baseball bats, sticks, pipes, knives, asst. hand tools and YES screwdrivers. all confiscated from fine citizens or arrestees looking to rob, batter or burglarize someone or thing. picture all those homeless hypes who scrap or burglarize, that get locked up constantly with tools on them. they are the filthiest of all. there is fecal matter all over their clothes. you know, the ones that everyone has to come look at to see who is causing the gross smell that fills the whole station. you can bet that a lot of their tools, when subject to testing, would reveal traces of blood or a chemical consistent w/ fecal matter. THAT is how asst. tools/weapons including screwdivers, end up in a squad's glovebox. anyone questioning this is not a cop or has forgotten their days in patrol. ahhh, now i feel better.

11/12/2007 11:31:00 AM


I'll take it one step further....the news had a special a few years ago about fecal matter...they took random TOOTHBRUSHES and had them tested...yup. 100% of toothbrushes tested have fecal matter. My point? Poop travels. Did the tester use a control- ie a set of random screwdrivers? I bet they would have trace poop on them as well.... And did the results specify the concentration of the fecal matter? And here is why I carry a screwdriver at all times: At some point perhaps I will meet the mayor or a few aldermen, who obviously have a screw loose. I will let them borrow it to errrr rectify the situation....pun intended...

That is why so many people voted for Bill Clinton. He was a complete mess. From his personal relationships, his lies about it and his party boy appearance. Who out there really doesn't feel better about themselves when they can look at the President of the USA and say, wow, I have so many less things wrong with me and my family members that the President.

FROM THE ORIGINAL POSTER OF THIS:

I voted REPUBLICAN in every Federal election that I have ever voted in. You misunderstood my point.

What I was saying is the reason this screw up was voted for by so many lazy ass losers was that they felt good to vote for somebody who DIDNT OUTSHINE them. Just like the bosses pick people to work under them.

It was no way an endorsement for CLINTON or his wife. Far from it.

It was just a non police point to show that it isnt just the CPD that pick screw up for poweful positions.

Next time read the whole post. Maybe then you will understand what somebody is saying.

A high school newspaper could have done a better job! (And a west / south side public one at that!) How about starting with all the facts, not the 1/4 that you feel like putting in your article! What about reporting on all the bull shit settlements that are just handed out to “just go away”? Pull up that total! Here, take this $5k, 8k, 10k, 50k check from the city, just go away… Suing the Police Dept / City is slowly becoming a new Olympic sport! Someone fights with the police, gets their ass kicked, goes to jail, bonds out in a day, that will get you an easy 5 – 10 THOUSAND DOLLARS! Sue the City, they’ll get a check cut for that amount in no time BECAUSE ITS EASYER AND “CHEAPER” TO SETTLE OUT OF COURT!
How these lawsuits are tied to “clout” or “merit”, by some of you, I have no idea. Beat cops, Tact / Gang, Cops from units, Det’s, Sgt’s, Lt’s from a Dist, or Unit, have all been sued! Sued for bullshit lies started by some shit-head on the street, then accelerated by some dick-head lawyer that found this was an easier way to pay for the student loans than their true passion; working a glory hole for $5 a shot. This shit has been and is out of hand! And its not going to stop for a while. (I mean the law suits, however some cock-breath lawyer wants to pay for school, that’s up to him, just don’t come on this job to do it!)
Case gets tossed for some bull-shit, even though you’re guilty?; sue the police. Have a gun? get shot by the police?; sue the police. Drunk? in a hot car? don’t feel like pulling over when you see the blue lights? drive off, do 90mph, get into an accident?; sue the police. It’s your fault? Not your fault?; sue the police! Don’t worry about it; the City will settle out of court, the mouthpiece typically gets 1/3rd, you get the rest.
The new OPS/IRPA, is going to do nothing but help this process out. And shit-head on the street knows this! Want to know about the Officers with the Cr #s? (ME!) Want to know about what Officers have been sued? (ME again!) Do us, and yourselves a huge favor: LEARN ALL THE FACTS FIRST! Not what some reporter puts in his rag to sell subscriptions!

I appreciate the sentiments of your post, but first of all, there had better not be any tools as you described behind the seats of MY squad when I get to it, or I'm going to be pisssed! Second, did you forget that when you "confiscate" somthing, it is supposed to be inventoried, not kept. That's called theft. Sucks but it's true. Stop taking shortcuts then whining when you get called on it. Do your job. The RIGHT way. What a concept.

From: Honest P.O.

Subject: Fuck You

Since most people in your profession have no point of reference in which to judge policing or Police Officers the smart stance would be to shut up until you do.. However, in order for this to occur several inconvient truths would have to come out too; (ie. you will do just about anything to sell your product especially give up your "integrity", certain communities are worse do to the lack of social and family structure etc. and it is a noticable difference u should call it like it is without fear of offending someones race-it doesnt change the truth does it?) Being the Police is the best job, it is a choice we make everyday to take a stand amongst the evils in world of savagery and do our best to make a contribution to a better society. We sacrifice our bodies and sometimes our souls. Our family and friends often go without us because of our shifts. AND STILL WE GO ON... I would rather you simply say "thank you" and be on your way. We will continue to do our policework and remain vigilate against those work against us--Although now I believe it includes you too.

I especially detest when you have to continue the article you are reading on another page or in another section. This is not the 1880's! They will not compromise their journalistic integrity by going to a "magazine style" paper. I bet if they offered both versions of their paper, the magazine style would out sell their old format and probably increase their readership.

This above quote is from an un-informed person. Nice try fool.

You think Commander of 008 is for working copper? I have several examples of how you are soooo wrong, so dam wrong. He talks a good game, but is still a company man and will step on you just to get higher just like before. He's just as full of shit as the next boss. Post a thread on how "well liked" Comm. of 008 is.

YOU WERE DOING FINE UNTIL YOU DECIDED TO INJECT THIS HORSECRAP. THOUGH SLICK WILLIE IS NO SAINT, THE FEEBLE MINDED CLOWN CURRENTLY INHABITING THE OVAL OFFICE HAS DONE MORE IN 6YEARS TO DESTORY THE VERY FABRIC OF ALL WE AS AMERICANS HOLD DEAR THAN ANY OF HIS PREDECESSORS COMBINED. THE DEMOCRACY HOLDS IN BALANCE A PRECARIOUS ONE @ THAT!!

Are you serious? during W's presidency, we have absorbed the nations worst terrorist attack on our soil since Pearl Harbor, liberated two countries and the economy is rolling along fine, what are you smoking, keep sipping the liberal kool aid while watching CNN, you are so off base it is frightening, during the entire war we have lost less than 5,000 soldiers, every life is precious but 5,000 soldiers lost in 5 yrs is a very small number during any war. Get your head out of the sand already will ya.
p.s. stop the blood for oil mantra too would ya, if we were after thei oil we wouldn't be paying over $3.00 a gallon...

What's killing the very moral fiber of this country is the liberal democratic agenda being spewed forth daily.

Please name the two nations we've liberated. The economy is rolling along?! You must be heavily invested in defense department industries. Don't you think the BILLIONS of dollars spent over there could help more Americans here. Why do some Americans feel the need of our government to help other nations,but are totally against helping their fellow Americans. I heard this sentiment while serving overseas,"Yankee go home."

Every socialist liberal democrat raise your hand. I want to separate you from the communists who can't deal with your opposing views.
