Kass Sums it Up
And pretty well, too:
- There was that other officer who beat a female bartender in a tavern, the video of the beating a YouTube sensation. And another police fight in another tavern. And a conviction of an Outfit-connected Chicago cop.
Most recently, there have been reports of a federal investigation into the highly political unit called Special Operations Section, with allegations of robbery and murder-for-hire, and now the investigation moves upward, toward the highly political police brass.
Mike had nothing to do with any of it. What happened in Iowa occurred long before any of those other incidents came to light. Yet he's been unjustly mixed in that vile public relations stew, spiced with proper public horror toward allegations of police torture by former Chicago Police Cmdr. Jon Burge.
"It's a bad time to be a Chicago cop. And Mike got lumped in with all that other negative stuff about cops, and some people turned away," Bob said. "It hurts."

I worked with Mike in 011 and all I can say is, it's a sad day for the city. They abandoned a good guy when they let Iowa violate him. He was a hard working copper who loved being the police.
His dad had to deliver him to prison and say his goodbyes. The ride home must have been devastating. My heart, my prayers, my love goes out to the Mette family. Justice wasn't served, it was abused.
I think about Mike Mette everyday. I cant even begin to wonder what he is going through. I hope to god those jail gaurds are keeping him safe.
Anybody who does anything but answer their calls is nuts. 1st and 16th is the only thing to worry about. God bless you Mike...hang tuff!
I bet if our Mayor would request a full pardon from the Iowa Governor, he would grant it.
But then again, he isn't a connected buddy with knowledge of bribes to elected Chicago officials.
Maybe we all write a letter to Mayor Daley asking this with the FOP's support.
Kass is the best 100% pro police whatever Kass needs from me it will be done! In the past daley sent his thugs the duffs to threaten Kass at a restaurant but he rebuked them then duffs went to prison thankfully! Daley gave them 100+ million of our money nice to give it all away right daley!
sorry we could not help you more, Mike. be strong.
Does Mike need anything? Money for commissary? Care packages? If so, what can we send him? Visitors? How can visit and when? Anything else?

with you 100% no more aggresive working for me! Just give me gas and a good car, "i DON'T SEE NOTHING SIR"! Daley and the merit structure have totally destroyed this department, even daleys detail cannot stand his ignorance,but only stay for the D-3 pay no other reason!
Forget the BS of sending him gifts and lame ass shit! I think it is time to stand up and protest or demand something be done. All coppers need to stepup and stop this BS. Everyone sat around while they took one of your own and no one could do a damn thing about it.
You need an uproar and make some noise. Mette needs to be released. Send mass letters, protest or have the news help.
I will send Mike anything he needs. Where do I send it and what should I send.
Can anybody tell me what prison is he in I will call the prison to obtain alist of ehats accepted.
Gov Chet Culver
Office of the Governor & Lt Governor
State Capitol
1007 East Grand Ave
Des Moines, IA 50319
Effective Nov 1, I started mailing daily handwritten notes to Gov Culver at the above address. I simply write "Free Mike Mette", and sign my name and address.
It only costs 41 cents a day.

Keep up the great job John Kass! He was on the radio this A.M. on 560 Wind and he said he will keep looking into the mette situation, at least he cares unlike the other media creatures and the lazy politicians!

GUARANTEE YOU ONE THING, DALEY, BLAGO, LOADS OF EXEMPTS HAD A BIG OLE GRIN ON THEIR FACE WHEN THEY HEARD METTE WAS CHECKING INTO THE GREYBAR HOTEL. THEY LIKE WHAT HAPPENED BECAUSE IN THEIR WAY OF THINKING IT SENDS A MESSAGE TO US THAT OFF DUTY STUFF WILL BE DELT W/SIFTLY& HARSHLY TO THOSE W/O CONNECTIONS...
Illinois State Police executed a search warrant Thursday at the home of a suburban Chicago police sergeant whose wife's disappearance has prompted authorities to look into his former spouse's drowning death, authorities said.
That was the lead-in paragraph regarding the search of a BOLINGBROOK POLICE SERGEANT, but the Scum Times referred to him as a suburban "Chicago Police Sergeant", leading people, who don't know about our residency clause, to believe the guy is a Chicago police officer. Unfucking believable!!!! WTF....
Is there an address where we can write him (Mike)? What about care packages? Anyone have an address and list of needs?
Pallidin
Several weeks ago there was a stack of white envelopes with the address for the Mette Defense Fund hung in all the Districts. The Michael Mette Defense Fund, c/o Northwest Community Credit Union, 7400 North Waukegan Rd., Niles, Il, 60714. Everyone just got paid and I am sure that if you just each sent 5$ each this could go a long way for the family to use whichever way they please. F..K Daley and the FOP. 014th Dist. Copper.
How about the FOP sponsor a petition to President Bush to pardon Michael Mette now.

Naw greg is to busy hosting "drinking parties for the boys"!
For all of you who are worried about Mike. We heard from him this week and he is doing well. Next week he should be in a permanent place where he can call, receive letters, and visitors.
We will keep you posted!
Thanks,
Jen (Mike's sister)
