Feel Good Story
Any other night, this group of police officers would be cruising the Calumet District on the South Side, looking to arrest bad guys, take guns off the street and keep as much of a lid on violence as possible.
But this was the night before Christmas. So, dressed all in blue from head to feet, and with a squad car full of toys, the officers hit the street with a different mission:
Find kids, and give them a gift.
And the chosen subject of this feel good story? TRU. Is there anything these people can't do?

What a bunch of fuckin BS.
Just adds to the whole TRU mentality.
ENOUGH SAID!OD HELP US PLEASE
I would have told them F U if you want me to hand out presents to these shitheads who already get everything for free anyways. Nothing like handing them out t o one of the biggest beefing/police hating districts in the city. Who genious idea was this? Again would have told them F U and those coppurs should be ashamed for caving to the gold stars. In no way shape or form could they have disciplined you for saying no. You tell em where in our contract it says we must hand out presents. the only present I am going to be handing out is a chance at a bologna sandwhich to these animals.
Thaks you again TRU for reminding us what a joke this place is. We can always count on you all for our weekly reminder
not abot being chosen! AT ALL! What the bosses wanted so thats what we did. End of story. The best part is we, us and everyone cant wait to read the responses and laugh. Best part of this blog is that.
OFF TOPIC
fox 32 has a reporter with the last name trotter....is that a relative of the store front bishop and ex fire commish????
More examples of a shakedown?????
It is good that the print media still reports some of the good that is done through our department and its officers.
As for your previous thread and the comments that were allowed to be posted about the off duty police officer's vehicle accident on the newspaper's web site was disgusting.
I have no problem with the news reporting the incident as it happened and if alcohol was involved but to slam this officer as he medically fights for his life is a shame.
My question is this, if this person in the traffic accident was one of the newspaper's highly read reporters or a CEO of a major corporation that buys pages of newspaper advertisements, would this paper allow the bashing? I think not. It is a shame that it is open season on police and law enforcement personnel. The same paper that is usually afraid to place the race of a bad guy in the paper even when its part of a description of a wanted offender, is never afraid to bash and insult the police.
The Calumet district? To those of us who still work in Area #2, it's still Pullman.
SCC, you dropped the ball on this one. The local revs. out here thought that all the murders, rapes, burglaries, thefts, and assorted drug dealing were giving the hood a bad name so they insisted that the police public relations flaks refer to the area as "Calumet" so as not to detract from the wonderful "Pullman" neighborhood. And , of course, the CPD folded like a milk carton and knuckled under the holy revs demands.
SCC, it's still PULLMAN !!
Good for you tru for taking the initiative and the money out of your own pockets to do something positive on the dept's behalf!! Thank you.
Enough of the feel good stories, I mean thats great to give toys to children but what about the real story-It really blows being the police right now. For all the hard working guys who paid their dues working in some god-forsaken s***hole of a neighborhood: It was a waste of your time and not worth risking your well-being for an ungrateful mayor, citizens, and a media on a witch-hunt to put you on the 10 o'clock news. For all you youngsters who still think its cool to be the police, get out while you're young, because in a few years unless you're a clout baby(which is fine) you'll regret wasting your youth in this miserable job. Great pension-only one problem, we usually have a chest-grabber a few years after retirement and don't get to enjoy it. Unfortunately the only respect you get is from your peers even though there has been an influx of handjobs taking this job lately. The modern day boss sucks and would burn you in a heartbeat. This job is the greatest job in the world-if things work out for you. But in my book there are plenty of guys in blue shirts who deserve better. When are we gonna have a union who does something for its members? And guys if your gonna drink, do it at home. Don't risk it, not worth ruining your life for a night out.
Hope the toys were lead-free or else we'll be blamed for poisoning chicago's children by the media. Otherwise great job.
Perhaps Lorde of Lordes Seiser will cum down from his throne atop the Viagra Triangle and assume his just and rightful place amongst the Real Police in TRU. Dare I say that is a much better use of such a powerful resource, and a benefit to all man-kind as well!
What a precious holiday gift for all Chicago children that would be, infinitely more valuable than lead paint-encrusted toys from China.
What they don't mention is that those presents were purchased by/paid for by officers. They told TRU coppers that the presents would go to sick children or the such. But instead they end up in random kids hands in the ghetto. If the department is going to have a program like this to improve relations between the community and the police, the department should pay for it.
We were told that the toys were going to a childrens hospital, not the street. All of us were "encouraged" to bring toys in for that purpose, not for "kids" on the street. I didn't see any TRU officers in my neighborhood giving out toys. Oh, wait that's right, I don't live in the GHETTO!!
What was I thinking.
4th district finally misses one.
Heard about the police shooting last night in 4, too bad you guys missed this time but good job on making the arrest and recovering the gun. Glad you guys are safe, keep up the good work over southeast.
It was ALL Seiser's idea.
At least we finally get some good press! Now what will next years headlines be when "Jody" takes over?
1) Contract settled nice raises.
2) Better equipment
3) 4-10 hour workdays
4) better mediacl care
5) No residency!
----------Alert Likely-------------
1) More coppers indicted
2) no contract
3) worse medical plan
4) Still the same old clout babies being promoted
5) daley still not indicted
6) "Jody" places more blame on blue shirts
7) keating is 1st deputy
8) taxes keep rising we have to stay, daley gives more illegals free shit that we pay for.
I did that once when I was in 005. The woman that ran Gately Park (P.O.'s daughter=class act) was very proactive about contacting distributors and asking them for surplus toys.
The fourth Star Wars movie had come out about a year before and they sent thousands of figurines. Not knowing what to do with all of them, she called us.
Even after letting the guys/girls on the watch have at them, there were plenty left to distribute at Roseland Hospital and the local shelters. I also had everyone who wanted to take them on all the bs domestics and other nonsense we put up with those two nights to give them to all the little kids who huddled scared while their mothers and play daddies fight.
If we helped only one, it was worth it.
awww...
Meanwhile....the boys and girls in patrol are getting hit with job after job or can't get off to be with their families because TRU's drain of manpower from Patrol.
and each time they let a med student go, an angel got his wings lol...
It's funny how the news cameras happen to be there. What a load of shit! Hey, SOS stole people's money and falsely arrested them, so they are disbanned. Now, you got TRU and its 2 year wonders, or excuse me...11, 12 or 13 year vets..whatever years that guy had who gave the papers a comment, handing out Christmas presents to ghetto kids. My oh my how the bullshit politcs never end in this city.
You are not a cop.
One, the seatbelt check point is the PC.
Your friend sounds as a liberal, who can't handle the 5 min it took to write a ticket. He wasn't a target. Too bad he wasn't getting a foot massage while his car was pulled over, maybe cops act like jagoffs as a tactic for the control of the situation, as your buddy rolled his eyes and acted smug and passive aggressive.
****************************
First off, easy though guy. Secondly, you must be a dumb cop. A seatbelt violation, in and of itself, is not grounds for a search of the vehicle. No DL, 6-303or something in "plain view" of course would change the situation. I really hope that you are not that stupid when it comes to the law.
That was a very nice thing for those Officers to do. Now where's our contract.
I bet we don't get a contract until at least the summer of 2010.
What do you think?
SCC, you dropped the ball on this one.
SCC quoted the Sun Times article, which stated Calumet. Thats why we put it all in italics.
Once again - read what we wrote. It makes criticism appear valid.
I remember giving a few buck a long time ago to the watch's 'adopted family'. They took the wagon far out of the District to Toys R Us and bought shit. In early January one of the kids of someone on the other watch who worked @ said Toys R Us stated he witnessed the Family returning ALL the shit for ca$h. (Over 10 years ago, so yeah they got cash - Gift cards/store credit nonsense was in the future)
This was the last time I gave .1 cent to these fucking rats.
From the WHAT WAS THIS COP SMOKING? Section:
A former Oak Lawn police officer pleaded not guilty Wednesday to charges he extorted money from people he pulled over in early-morning traffic stops, the Cook County state's attorney's office said.
Steven Harrison, 26, is accused of pulling over five drivers between Sept. 18 and 27 and telling them they had committed traffic offenses such as driving without a valid license or not having insurance, prosecutors said. He then would threaten the motorists, some of whom spoke limited English, with fines or jail if they did not pay him, officials said.
In some cases, Harrison would instruct the drivers to call friends and family for the money, prosecutors said.
In one case, Harrison is accused of telling a man that he needed to pay him $160 because he was driving without a license or insurance. The victim said he did not have the money, and Harrison told him to call friends and relatives to bring him the money, officials said.
When that failed, Harrison told the driver to go home and get the money and bring it back to him at the Oak Lawn police station or else an arrest warrant would be issued, officials said.
Authorities said that after the driver returned with the money, Harrison gave him a pink ticket sheet with "$160" written on it. According to officials, when the motorist asked if it was a ticket, Harrison responded, "That's the way we do it in the suburbs."
In another case, Harrison is accused of telling a driver he had "two options: Go to jail or pay $100," according to prosecutors.
All five motorists identified Harrison in a lineup, prosecutors said. The beginnings of two of the traffic stops were captured by Harrison's squad car camera, prosecutors said.
Harrison is charged with 23 counts of official misconduct, five counts of theft by deception and three counts of intimidation. He pleaded not guilty to all charges, said Tandra Simonton, a spokeswoman for the state's attorney.
He appeared in Cook County Circuit Court on Wednesday before Judge Rosemary Grant Higgins. His next court date is scheduled for Jan. 9 before Judge Michael Toomin.
Sounds like the Oak Lawn copper went to the S.O.S. College of Police Sciences and Training!!!!
All the negative press CPD gets these days, they get a positive story and you shit all over it.
Perhaps you prefered the other CPD Christmas Eve story of the PO in the DUI accident?
Cynical bastards.

======================================================================
When TRU officers were told the gifts they bought would be going to sick kids at La Rabida, they probably had no problem ponying up extra cash.
Instead, their gifts goes out to the ghetto. Like taxes for Link cards wasn't enough.
Nxt year they should hand deliver them to the hospital!
hold on guys!!! i can't stop laughing they did what? with their own money? ill be right back, i can't stop cracking up. thats above and beyond stupid!! and to all of the places "pullman" what a complete joke or should i say a bigger joke that unit is.
If you are feeling depressed go seek help, do not I repeat do not self medicate(alcohol). We have been finding out that the current trend seems to be getting depressed and killing ourselves or getting depressed and self medicating and getting into a accident and hurting/killing ourselves or worse hurting/killing someone else. Even if its friends or family, let them know whats troubling you, there will always be someone who will miss you when you are gone, don't be selfish! There always is a solution to every problem!!! God Bless, Saint Micheal pray for Us.
It is the start of Kwanzaa everyone!!
Lets not forget the founder of this "holiday", Ron Karenga, is a convicted felon who tortured a black woman in disgusting ways.
Here's to togetherness!
Hey what the fu$$? SOS handed out many a presents to the Pullman/Roseland residents. These gifts were from the heart, and no price could be put on them. In fact after a shooting or a good arrest the kind residents would even repay the elite unit with their own style of ghetto caroling. Sometimes dude would even make signs thanking and praising their hard work. Happy Holidays to all officers and your families!!! -The real police Unit#153

Lets put this to rest, one I was ranting because people act as if I'm not worth thier time when they break a traffic law and get caught.
I understand the intial PC for the stop does not ALLOW a seach of the vehicle. Unless, plain view (smell), actions or reactions of the driver, and consent.
Clear it up for you.
And one must be able to put it on paper.

Not like they have much of a choice when their commander tells them they have to buy a gift.
Sure, technically they cannot be forced to buy one. But those few that didn't lives would be made hell.
I am sure they'd rather give up ten bucks to make sure their time due doesn't get denied.
Officers in TRU were told that the gifts were going to be given to a childrens hospital. I'm sure the Lt's told TRU officers that so more toys would be brought in, because more likely than not, the amount of toys collected would be low. Honestly, who really cares. Maybe one kid in the ghetto might have a little more respect for the police. But, this is the kind of lies that TRU officers are fed by the Commander and Lt's on a daily basis. For those who rip on TRU, there are no perks working there like there use to be. The only perk is not being dispatched to calls, thats it!!
Come on, give TRU a break!
Here's your present .... you don't have any dope on ya, do ya kid????
Bah HUM BUG....I'm giving away CB and IR numbers!
Here's some toys to give away, Shawanda the two dollar crack whore doll, LaFarina the bacon grease tossing adult figure married to Cleofus T Firefly the nickel bag of weed slinger, The Judge my Honor doll who sentences your entire family to life without parole, The Ghetto cruizer w/ mag wheels and distorted sound system, LaBron James slightly imperfect gym shoes, etc.

Hey Moron! Get a fucking clue!
I have a couple of friends who are sergeants at TRU. This had nothing to do with "Gold Stars". They had a toy drive for kids stuck in hospitals and there was a set amount of toys that were needed. The toys the guys brought on the street were those they collected in excess of what was needed.
The firemen received all kinds of accolades from the press for handing out toys. The guys at TRU get a backhanded "at a boy" from Anne Sweeney of the Sun-Times and a jag-off "alleged" copper like you have to shit on them too.
By the way I know more than a few districts(including my own) that had toy drives for Christmas, are they douchebags too?
Come up with some original material once in awhile.
Even when the media tries to get it right, they get it wrong. But then, what would we have to bitch about if things were different?

Here's another feel good story: 6 months of retro pay so far. YAHOO!
didnt hand out any gifts, we were told these gifts were intended to go to childrens hospitals when told to distribute them in the ghetto that night i refused i have a spine(unless my wife is around then i'm a pussy)
Someone please tell me why TRU and SAT Teams have forgotten how to do their own paper when they on view something.
Hey jagbag you found it, take care of it !Stop making the beat cars your little bitches.
Have a great new year everyone.

First of all, the officers did bring in a toy to donate, the toys DID go to Larabida, Childrens and Gold Star Families, which they had no problem doing; the first 300 toys went to that purpose, everything over 300 went to the secondary purpose- passed out in the neighborhoods of the under privledged, which we weren't told about until a day before Christmas Eve; it was the idea of one of the LTs. so stick all your jagoff acronyms of TRU in your ass, I guess you would rather the usual dribble that is usually written about us in the paper.....
Got baboozled we were told they were going to a childrens hospital, refused to hand anything out to future cb#,would have never bought gift if i knew it was gonna be given out that way

"Joe D: On the Street with a Chicago Homicide Cop" by Richard Whittingham
You people are a bunch of jag offs. The officers in TRU knew exactly what was going to become of the toys. 100 went to La Rabida, 100 went to Shriners Hospital and 100 went to Rainbow House domestic violence shelter. Due to the success of the program approximately 50 toys were left over. These were handed out on the street as a way of reachging out to the next generation of kids we are about to lose to the streets. All gifts were purchased and wrapped by officers on a voluntarily basis. Anyone who didnt want to donate didnt have to. Believe me there were officers who gave several toys each. Its called being a good person which all of you keyboard cowboys wouldnt know a damn thing about. Thats why you are all divorced alcoholics whose wives are fucking some new guy and youre kids are calling HIM dad. I'm proud to be in TRU and proud of the work we do day in and day out INCLUDING the christmas toy donations.
I have been a loyal SCC reader for the last few years but this is my last post. Say what you will because It will only be read by you jag-offs who are miserable before your feet hit the floor in the morning.
To all of the real police out there stay safe, get off the computer, and spend time with your families.

"Addicted to Adultery" by Richard Brzeczek.
I'm assigned to TRU. When the plan was presented to collect gifts for Christmas the Lt running it made it clear that 100 gifts would be given to LaRabida, Shriners Hospital and a Womans Shelter. In addition his thought was to give anything over 300 out on Christmas Eve. No one present at any of the Supv Roll Calls objected. If the officers were not aware of the plans it was the Sgts fault for not passing it along. I personally didn't think we would collect 300 and assumed the extra gift idea would die, so much for Sgts thinking. Anyway its Christmas lets just hope the children who received the presents enjoyed them and if you gave a gift just assume yours went toone of the hospitals.
how could we leave this from the acronyms: TRU= Toys R Us
did they give them hairgel???
What a shame that p.o.'s were misled into believing the toys they bought would go to sick children and then be given away to random kids on the street. Typical example of how we're used to make bosses look good. Next time make your charitable donations on your own, without the dept making the decision on where your donation goes.
Got one better then forking up your own money for toys, How about being asked to make a donation to buy the WC and Lt a x-mas gift. Now thats a load of crap. Give away your money for a guy making 100k a year.
Just like when they are selling those NAACP t-shirts---JUST SAY NO!!!! GROW SOME BALLS PEOPLE (oh, i forgot most tru p.o's just got off puberty)
toys should have been take to the childrens hospital on cottage or burn units, etc; not to the ghetto. i didnt see TRU in my neighborhood giving toys to the local children. oh wait, my neighbor is mostly white and mostly filled with the working taxpayers. thats a crock of shit. if a TRU car would have rolled down my block that day, with present or not, that would have been the first police car sighting in over a month. again no police presence in the 4th.
I really hope they were smart enough to look each child up in I-CLEAR on the Bozo-puter to verify if the kid was locked up before. If not, you got played fools.
To 05:22 AM regarding the incident in 004 last night. You are correct, the coppers did a great job catching this guy and recovering the gun AFTER an exchange of gunfire between the bad guy and CPD. I honestly have to say that I am glad that the police missed this guy with their rounds. You see, the bad guy was running away with the gun and then raised and fired at the police while the bad guys BACK was turned to the police (he was still running). Even though the shoot would have been %100 percent justified and even though bad guy ADMITTED to everything, the make believe revs and ghetto hood rats (jesse and al) would have cried foul because the honor student was shot in the back. Did this story make the news? I haven't looked yet. Front page headline should have read CONVICTED MURDERER SHOOTS AT POLICE.
Any trash talking j/o would like to come down and discuss the idea of giving out presents to disadvantaged kids with me in person and talk trash about TRU to me in person is welcome to do so!What did you do this holiday season for your own soul and for your fellow man?
As for the gifts that were supposed to go to the sick kids,they did!!! We delivered over 300 gifts between La Rabida Childrens hospital, Rainbow House and Shriners Childrens hospital. The gifts given away on Christmas Eve were last minute gifts that didn't make it to the unit in time for the original dropoffs. For all you who would talk smack and laugh at our efforts to do something positive you can go to hell. This wasn't for the publicity or for the good of the department. It was for our own personal reasons. You trash talking asshats aren't worthy of of being called a public servant. You have a problem with that come see me and we can talk it over in the back lot.

Oh and SCC, you have a problem with us I wouldn't mind having a face to face with you either. And for future reference, No! There is nothing that TRU is not capable of doing. Why don't you put down your key board, take some c/u and pop by for roll call and a ride with me and I will show you exactly what it is that we do everyday. It would be my utmost pleasure to take you for a ride. Thanks for trying to make our little endeavor into something other than what it was, something for kids who have nothing.

some of them "peoples" family members who received presents from TRU were selling them presents that same night in front of the arab liquor store.
Three hundred toys were given to children's hospitals and a domestic womens shelter. You professional's who represent the uniform should get your facts straight. The toy's in excess of the first three hundred were handed out to deserving children in the area's where the officer's were deployed.
p.s. If you are a racist or bigot this holiday season we really don't need you on the job. We definitely don't want you in TRU.
FYI, the kids at La Rabida DID get the donated toys, delivered by santa this year. don't hold back your charity there because you think the toys are going to the 'wrong' kids. as far as i know, the toys that were supposed to go there got there. [however santa got a ride from a hook and ladder co.]
P.O. Geisbush's eyes were filled with tears as he handed a lil fella a teddy bear, reported onlookers. His emotional response was heart warming.
WHAT THE F@#%, TRU BOUGHT AND HANDED OUT XMAS PRESENTS. THAT UNIT IS A FUCKIN JOKE AND A BUNCH OF ASS KISSERS WITH TWO YEARS ON THE JOB.
First off, easy though guy. Secondly, you must be a dumb cop. A seatbelt violation, in and of itself, is not grounds for a search of the vehicle. No DL, 6-303or something in "plain view" of course would change the situation. I really hope that you are not that stupid when it comes to the law.
12/27/2007 09:15:00 AM
*************************
Illinois law was changed in 2006 to allow for a seat belt violation to be a probable cause law. Go to the Legal Affairs website on Clear, and look up the Legal Bulletins. Also, check the actual statutes. The wording was changed to allow for that to be your probable cause.

Is this really true?
I never paid much attention to Kwaanza because I always thought it was some sort of made up holiday.
How disgusting.
Not to defend giving presents to shitheads...I mean fine citizens, but we in TRU were told to bring a present that would be distributed at some local hospitals so that is what we did. The presents did go to local hospitals. TRU and its members were asked to collect 300 toys, which we did plus some. After all that was guarenteed to the hospitals were given there were presents left over and those were given to the ghetto dwellers. I personally didn't agree with it, but you gotta give it to the people in the unit who pulled together and gave some of thier own money so some sick kids could have a better Christmas.
I wonder if the Tru boys and girls feel like the whores that they are yet. I also wonder how many will be bidding to districts next period because they were made to be the whores that they are by bosses.
HEY, IT GOT THEM OUT OF WORKING CHRISTMASS EVE.

If your W/C and Lt are good guys or gals.... duke the money and make their holidays nice.
The problem is all you little college gel hair mommy cry babys on this job. I have seen so many cry when even asked to donate to help some cop out who is hurt or sick.
In the old days, you would of had your ass kicked in the old smelly stinky damp un-air conditioned locker room. But you spoiled brats would now cry and get a CR number on a fellow cop.
Our unit gave ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS a piece to cover the Sgts and W/C Christmas Fund. Glad you weren't in our unit, because it would of been $50.00 more to cover your heart attack get well fund, you little sissy girly girl!!!!!! Maybe you should of been a girl scout leader instead of a cop.

what times do the saturation units work? i never see them. (i'm on midnights) Or maybe they're just told to stay away from my district...
I have 2 years on the job. Can I still make TRU or do I have too much time on the job?
Reading many of these comments about TRU, I know most if not all come from guys with not nearly the amount of time on this job to be so bitter. Maybe when you came on this job you thought part of your job was being an asshole, well it's not. It's guys like you, like the two knuckleheads in 022 caught on tape saying they weren't as dumb as SOS, who think you've done it all and seen it all. If your life is so miserable that you have to knock every good deed as something weak, something non-police-like, then please find a new job. Funny, but many of the warriors over in Iraq ask that people send them Crayons and other school supplies so they can pass them out to the Iraqie kids. Maybe you think they're weak or stupid too. You real negative guys need to find a new line of work and stop getting the rest of us so much negative attention. No man stands as tall as when he stoops to help a child.....

thats funny i didnt see any officers up in 016th handing out presents.
whats up with that,
arent our kids deserving
I donated to this cause and I am not in TRU. I donated based on the fact that the toy is going to a child regardless of where !! The point is donate from your heart if not dont donate at all.
This department has become heartless. This is sad.
So what happened to good ol Ray.................Mr Marine.... Mr SWAT...
OH yeah! that's right he quit yet again. Couldn't hack it as a Marine, even though he still pretends he is one. Now in the Navy cause that is only place who will take a quitter.....and that is what he is. Nothing but excuses rather than actions.
Failed the SWAT physical yet again. Once a quitter always a quitter. So hu rah that asswipe. Time to stop pretending and being a wannabe.
Got one better then forking up your own money for toys, How about being asked to make a donation to buy the WC and Lt a x-mas gift. Now thats a load of crap. Give away your money for a guy making 100k a year.

This is so wrong... no one should be buying gifts for their boss.
PO in 009 does a traffic stop on Christmas and catches the guy who crashed a high school party in Calumet city last month then shot at the kids leaving killing one with a head shot. Merry Christmas!!!
Our unit's adopted family was a fucking joke. The ghetto bitch called every day wanting to know "where my presents at?" When a few detectives went to deliver the presents the "poor" "needy" family had a 50" plasma television, a thousand fucking DVDs and CDs strewn all over the house, stereo equipment, and a computer. Plus the ghetto bitch had her requisite 2 inch ghetto nail job and her slut stamp tattoo on her lower back, right above her fat cellulite ass. Her four "foster" kids, which the state pays for anyway, also were a bunch of ungrateful "poor" kids who will no doubt grow up with their hands out stretched looking to leech off society's dime. FUCK THEM ALL....BAH HUMBUG....Let Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson give to these needy mother fuckers...
LOL, you have to laugh at the cry baby complaining that they were actually collecting to get the supervisors a Christmas gift. WHat is wrong with these new guys. Hate to tell you this but the bosses always made twice the amount as the P.O.s but that never stopped them from giving them a gift at Christmas. Half of you guys complaining wouldn't think twice about buying a few lap dances from crack addicted dance hoes but bitch when they ask for a few bucks for the boss. You are really losers.

Any trash talking j/o would like to come down and discuss the idea of giving out presents to disadvantaged kids with me in person and talk trash about TRU to me in person is welcome to do so!What did you do this holiday season for your own soul and for your fellow man?
As for the gifts that were supposed to go to the sick kids,they did!!! We delivered over 300 gifts between La Rabida Childrens hospital, Rainbow House and Shriners Childrens hospital. The gifts given away on Christmas Eve were last minute gifts that didn't make it to the unit in time for the original dropoffs. For all you who would talk smack and laugh at our efforts to do something positive you can go to hell. This wasn't for the publicity or for the good of the department. It was for our own personal reasons. You trash talking asshats aren't worthy of of being called a public servant. You have a problem with that come see me and we can talk it over in the back lot.

thats gotta be the funniest one i have heard yet
From the "Try getting charges for this in Cook County" files:
DUNBAR, W.Va. — Sometimes you need a police officer; sometimes you need a tissue. Confuse the two, and it could cost you.
A woman in this Charleston suburb was charged with battery on a police officer after the officer said she wiped her nose on the back of his shirt.
Cpl. S.E. Elliott said he had arrested the 36-year-old woman last week after seeing her slap a man, bite him on the elbow and spit in his face. Elliott said the woman wiped her nose on him as he led her into the police station for booking on a charge of domestic battery.
Battery on a police officer is defined as intentionally making physical contact of an insulting or provoking nature with an officer.
DORKS!

Thank you Tru and to the sgt in Tru for doing something so kind for a few children in this city. It does break your heart every day seeing what we see, knowing that alot of these kids don't stand a chance. Your thoughtful actions could have also helped make us not look like the aholes that are representing cpd on this blog.
You wanted to bring one day of happiness to some children's lives, and I am sure you did. Naturally the only people trying to spoil your sincere generosity are our juvenile and idiotic brothers in blue.
Blogmaster you need to take a hard look at yourself and what you have created here. Your blog is not attracting the intelligent, decent, and mature officers on this job. You have got to realize this blog is not doing anything positive for anyone. Please get yourself a new hobby and close this thing down.

Dear Billy Boy:
Relax my friend. Just because some cops have a different view about passing out toys to people who any other day are spitting on our backs or suing us for some bullshit, doesn't mean you have to take it personal. Your good deed and ass kissing will not be lessened by these comments.
The guys who work for you still think your a stroke and a cop hater, it really is not big deal.
So easy Sgt, relax, have a drink, think nice thoughts and maybe you won't be so frustrated that nobody who knows you really likes you!
PS Let me know what parking lot you would like to discuss this at. Just don;t being screaming 10-1 in your radio like all your little hair gel boys do.

Our unit gave ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS a piece to cover the Sgts and W/C Christmas Fund. Glad you weren't in our unit, because it would of been $50.00 more to cover your heart attack get well fund, you little sissy girly girl!!!!!! Maybe you should of been a girl scout leader instead of a cop.

Why is he racist? He could have been referring to illegals of all races, as their representation is not just limited to Hispanics. Perhaps, this being a Blog devoted to law enforcement officers (specifically Chicago Police Officers) the poster may be an individual who is pro law and anti all types of crime. His apparently disapproving comment may be about the simple fact that illegal aliens are law breakers, who, by trespassing on American soil show no fundamental respect for the laws of this Nation, by their mere presence alone. At no time did the poster mention a specific race or nationality.
100% Mexican-American I think you are the real narrow minded racist here, because you have immediately adopted an aggressively defensive posture. You display an embarrassed lack of self confidence in yourself by immediately rushing to pull the race card. Your using the same old politically correct "song and dance" contention, that, by calling someone racist you will hopefully defeat any valid points of their argument. This also shows anyone reading your comment that your post lacks any sophistication or validity. Face the fact that illegal aliens of all stripes are just that---ILLEGAL. You have no substantive basis to make your false accusations!

tru or whatever they are- i never knock a guy that wants to work but you get in trouble you get thrown under the bus. how about getting stripped and sent to 311 for a couple of years. how about wondering whether you have a job when you get out of bed every morning. here's your 30 pending office-- see you at the police board in nine months. no pay or benefits for nine months at least. is it worth it -- hell no-- but you really can't understand it until it happens to you. a lot of guys come on this blog telling you young guys what can happen if you step on your dick. its all true. hell,the city has told us in an indirect manner that they want you to generate revenue only and skip the police work.
ONCE BUT NO LONGER IN TRU
Hey guys relax. TRU was just trying to do a nice thing and attempting to make people think better of us. I'm sure they had no bad intentions and lately any positive news is needed. As for Billy Shields he's actually a good guy who will never hurt you, and talks from the heart (before he thinks). I'm sure when he stated he would meet you in the parking lot he was talking about having a holiday drink or to give you one of the presents and nothing more.
Buying or contributing into gifts ($$) for the boss is a YES YES in the Det. Division. We all ante'd up about $125 apiece for the Sgts. on our watch. When I get my W2's a little later on, it will have been worth it.

When the Deputy found out about it he called news affairs thinking it would be good p.r. for the department, nobody from the Commander on down wanted any news people involved, ok goof.

You couldn't be more wrong, if you know Bill at all then you already know that if he has a fault, it is that he wears his heart on his sleeve and is 110% police and would do anything he could for another copper, he always does, he's been on since 91, has worked 021, 012, 009, and Housing South before going to TRU, he is and has been the police.....

I hate you guys.

But you mean non Toys Are Us cops ruin everything. I would beat you guys up but I hurt my back unloading a Big Wheel. Don't hate us because we are the only TRU(E) Police.

Racism? On THIS department? Come on!
giving gifts out on christmas reminds me of the time in 017th
we collected so many gifts , and caps selected a needy family.
3 kids , both parents.
on the day of droping off the gifts 10 officers walked in to their apt to find a 60 inch mitsbushi hi def tv.
i was like who picked this family, didnt do much investigating on them.
i am all for giving gifts out,why give to kids whose parents will probably return them for the cash.
Billy Shields...you are a poor example of a supervisor...Your comments are unnecessary and unprofessional...who cares what comments are made on this blog...half are bullshit and the other half are from jealous people I see that they got the best of you and you opened your big mouth which made you look bad....next time keep your mouth shut and smile.

I'll have to admit I was truly impressed with what TRU did that night. I for one do no believe that everyone in the "ghetto" is a police hating, welfare recieving criminal in the making. A neighborhood does not define the character of a person its those who have no respect for self, others and god who bring down these so called "ghettos". I've been on this job a long time and I for one find that the majority of people in these neighborhoods are good, decent people and by virtue of where they live a lot of people turn their backs on them or lump them into groups with those who choose to live a fu@#$d up lifestyle.

I have news for you KID, when he got on those districts were busy, the projects were filled up, it was rolling, you wouldn't know anything about that though, you would wet your pants at the thought of walking in a fully occupied project building.

It is exactly that, a rumor, there are only a couple SOS people there and they fly under the radar, keep trying....
my neighbor is mostly white and mostly filled with the working taxpayers. thats a crock of shit. if a TRU car would have rolled down my block that day, with present or not, that would have been the first police car sighting in over a month. again no police presence in the 4th.
Haha who are you fooling,where in the 4th district is mostly white now or do you live in the trailer park. HAHAHAHA
Tired, Rookies, Useless.
thats all they are
for those of you who want to put TRU down and say that the officers in the unit are usless rookies, i dare you to post your stats for the last 6 months on the blog, with your name so we can compare. maybe you should put all that energy into your own job and stop worrying about everyone else. quit hatin!
