Goose - Gander

  • Under fire for the way police shootings are investigated, the Daley administration wants the right to test Chicago Police officers who discharge their weapons -- on duty or off -- for alcohol and drugs.

    In the wake of barroom brawls involving off-duty officers, City Hall is also proposing random testing for alcohol as well as drugs; stepped-up drug testing that uses hair samples instead of just urine; testing for Ecstasy and steroids, and drug and alcohol testing of officers in specialized units.

    In addition, the city wants to retain disciplinary records related to sustained complaints for the "duration of an officer's employment" and require officers under investigation to make "electronically recorded statements" to the Internal Affairs Division and the Independent Police Review Authority.

And we'd like welfare recipients to be tested for booze and dope, too. As someone posted in the comments:
  • I HAVE TO PASS A URINE TEST FOR MY JOB... AND I HAVE TO AGREE 100%

    Like a lot of folks in this state, I have a job. I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. In order to get that paycheck, I am required to pass a random urine test With which I have no problem.

    What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who don't have to pass a urine test. Shouldn't one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check because I
    have to pass one to earn it for them?

    Please understand, I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet. I do, on the other hand, have a problem with helping someone sitting on their ASS, doing drugs, while I work. . . .

    Can you imagine how much money the state would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check ?
And add in the aldercreatures, too. If they want to carry a gun, they ought ot be able to pass the same dope testing and yearly qualifying that we do.

Off Subject: So tired of hearing all the cities BS abt. not having enough money for pay increases on the next contract negotiations. As you noted SCC. Little Richie opened up the door to use outside dept. with his statement of the salaried of other Chiefs or Supt. of other dept. Well here's a Money Making Idea for a new ordinance. and you guys tell me would this not make a lot of sense?

How many people here are sick of Either A. Coming home at night and finding no parking avail. because of all those lawn chairs and milk crates taking up parking spots during the winter months? Or even more importantly How many times have we had to pursuit someone or have to respond to a 10-1 and suddenly are riding down a side street and we have to slowdown because the streets are icy.

Well here's my proposal. The same way we have street cleaning in the summer. Why not have a snow plow cleaning after snow storms? all I know I'd be willing to move my car from one side of the street from 9-4:30 to have not only the streets clean. but on top of that more money for raises when some idiot gets ticketed for not moving the car on a street "plowing" day.

What do you guys think?

To SCC:
My full name has appeared on your blog a couple of times now and i promise if it appears one more time i will file a lawsuit against you. If for nothing else, to front you out and let everyone know who you are. Believe it or not, i actually enjoy YOUR thoughts and blog, but it's the irresponsible monitoring of the comments that turns this thing into a bathroom stall. You allow people to post full names and degrade them at will with all to often false allegations and it's not right. This thing is ruining good peoples reputations and in some cases careers. I ask of you take a minute and think how you would feel if your full name and unit of assignment was posted on here and followed by numerous negative comments about you. There will allways be someone that doesn't really like you or disagrees with you and would love to throw a free cheap shot anonymously at you. You honestly may not realize it, but you have a lot of power running this blog and what's on here one night is the talk in many roll calls the next day. If you have to go to registered comments, so be it. But i'm just sick of you letting people bash people freely on here and think you have no responsibility for it.
I'm being 100% serious. If my name appears on here one more time i will find a way to file a suit and one way or another you will be outed. I'm sorry, but i can no longer stand back and let you ruin good officers, with good friends, and families lives on her. You and only you have the power to decide what goes up on here and what's deleted. Please start doing the right thing.

I ask of you not to publish this comment, but just take it into consideration. I didn't intend this post for anyone else to see but you.

The City can propose all the changes that they desire but they cannot take effect unless the Lodge surrenders.

The Lodge has the upperhand because of past arbitration rulings that the City cannot arbitrarily change the discipline process. The Lodge controls how the process works and as long as they stand tall it will not change.

Bill Nolan and Tom Pleines won an expedited arbitration case in 1997 that dictates that the Lodge is in-charge and they should be commended.

I think that you should move to a

exist around condos. Go down the
elevator to your heated garage, get into a warm car and then proceed onto streets where snow has magically disappeared during the middle of the night. There is no winter hassle, no heart attacks dealing with the snow, no cold tushy when you get in to your car
in the morning. You deserve it! Take care of yourself.

Here is more of a reason no to help people. The finger is pointed at you if you shoot someone in a justifiable situation.

Why don't I have an inspector or media or rev ride with me all day? To afraid, or wait, most people hate the police, and people who were never the police judge what they do.

People stop calling 911, don't exepect a robber to stopped because the city would rather pay criminals settlements or have you killed then the police to take action in this city.

Personally, I commend the proposal for making any copper involved in a shooting submit to drug/alcohol testing. This will accomplish two things:
1) Will show a divide between officer involved and offender. We all know that most people shot by police will have all kinds of substances show up in their systems. The new IPRB should make those findings of the offenders PUBLIC. This will also shut up the families of these offenders, who are always claiming that their child "didn't mess with drugs."
2) It will also encourage those among us who are addicted to alcohol and other substances to go and SEEK OUT TREATMENT. We all know most of us won't go until our backs are against the wall. Should this ordinance pass, those who are addicted will have no choice. Sober cops make better street cops, and God knows when anyof us call for help, we want somebody to show up who is going to actually be able to help.
3) More sober cops means less off duty "incidents." Anything that reduces them, I wholeheartedly support.

This is just a proposal. Remember our 24% raise, $3000 residency stipend among other things. We deserve many of them, I agree, but in negotiations each side has some throw aways. If they want to do everything they can to screw us (New forms of Dicsiple that NEVER go away) they need to set up hard and fast guidelines on what happens. I know people suspended for long periods of time for nonsense and people get 30 days for DUI or 15 for hitting the old lady. All of your awards mean NOTHING. They say they do, but they don't. One DC should subtract 5-10 days off a suspension or something like that....

I couldn't agree more. We would save a ton of money if we required urine samples for the less fortunate. We could also make a ton of money selling them clean samples.

I'm not going to be foolish and make a blanket statement that a majority of people on Link are drug users. That's ludicrous! But I can safely say about 80% are practicing drug users. That's why they are on Link. They can't hold a job for any extended period of time because of their drug addiction. That and they can get their money for nothing.

So, test them,, make them accountable for something and sell them your good wizz. A win-win situation for all!

Test Judges, States Attorneys, Alderman, Fireman, and anyone else with a "city" job. It is discriminatory to single out police officers. How about testing firefighters after they put out a fire? How about testing Judges after they make a finding on a serious case? How about testing States Attorneys after they lose a big case. How about testing Alderman after every city hall meeting that affects us the taxpayers. How about testing Streets and Sanitation workers who are driving around the city everyday? This is something that has to be fair and equal throughout the city...... We will see how they will single out and discriminate against police officers. Besides police know who likes to drink and drive, and who's family members like the nose candy., or have a crack habit. They are in contact with them every day on the streets.

I hate to say it, but I wonder if I made the right career choice. As a lifelong Chicagoan, I thought this job would be it. Yeah, yeah I was a college kid. I have my bachelor's degree and joined the dept. when I was 23. I've been on a little longer than 3yrs so I'm still in my twenties. I feel this way for several reasons. The alderman and the mayor have raised taxes more than necessary and the taxpayer will feel it. Secondly, the dept. is in horrible shape. Next, I don't care what they say...I don't want the Olympics. The marathon was a disaster. The city can say we weren't prepared, but terrorists don't often give you advanced warning. The "unprepared" excuse won't work for that. Moreover, a casino will work out great. More drugs, more prostitution, and overall higher crime. Casinos turn places into crime havens. I hate to say it but this lifelong Chicagoan may soon pack it up and head out to the 'burbs. SORRY!!!

I can only conclude that these lawmakers are also lawyers and do not want to change the laws which allow them and their law firms the ability to rape the taxpayers. The Dramshop law has a $55,000 cap on liability for a lawsuit. I'm sure Jon Loevy and his fellow lawyers will be having a very, very, very happy Hannaukah this year with all of the money they has bilked out of the taxpayers of this city for themselves and their criminal "victims" he represents. They blame the police officers for the outrageous payouts the city gives to these assholes.

OFF TOPIC--SORRY but needs to be said:

Zone 4- extremely busy its 1 & 18!
Bad enough 1 of the dispatchers mumbles. A few OEMC dispatchers are already speech challenged at times.

What happened to a simple code? Is the need to explain everything really needed? 19-P thats it. Now we get 19-B squad, I dont see them, and nobody is approaching me why dont you call them back cause I dont see the illegal parker.
Should have been a 19-B via the PDT- no need to get on the radio.
Thats just an example.

p.s. Who ever worked134 today- SHUT UP!!! you need to switch over to the city-wide or get your own radio zone...GEEZ we dont need to here about every single observation, move, relocation. Whats next? Play by Play of a bathroom break?

1820 that goes for you too!!!

5 minute disertations about an every single thing isnt necessary.

Keep radio traffic to a minimum!! Listen- Depress Key- Say what needs to be said- let go of key!!

They can have all those things they want. We want residency in retiurn plain and simple! They can even not give us a raise this time for the first year of the 3 year contract. Fuck it I want out of this nest of shit. Keep your frigging Mt.greenwoods and Garfield ridges, Beverlys , northwestside 's all overpriced garbage, with no schools.
I'll piss everythime I take an event number! Give me residency or death!

12/09/2007 12:03:00 PM

It's real easy then...........quit the fucking job you hack! You should have noooo problems getting on anywhere else cause you only have have about, lets see, 3 to 5 yrs on the job? So you should have no problems jumping right in. Quit your cryin about residency, it is'nt gonna happen. Focus on pay, insurance, pension and getting rid of the clout and connected bullshit. Make it fair for everyone.
Be safe everyone!

not about numbers, it's about the percentages. Just like eventhough blacks only make up 12% of the total population the make up over 60% of the prison population. im sure if you look hard enough Reverend you'd see similar percentages for welfare.

Off Subject: So tired of hearing all the cities BS abt. not having enough money for pay increases on the next contract negotiations. As you noted SCC. Little Richie opened up the door to use outside dept. with his statement of the salaried of other Chiefs or Supt. of other dept. Well here's a Money Making Idea for a new ordinance. and you guys tell me would this not make a lot of sense?

How many people here are sick of Either A. Coming home at night and finding no parking avail. because of all those lawn chairs and milk crates taking up parking spots during the winter months? Or even more importantly How many times have we had to pursuit someone or have to respond to a 10-1 and suddenly are riding down a side street and we have to slowdown because the streets are icy.

Well here's my proposal. The same way we have street cleaning in the summer. Why not have a snow plow cleaning after snow storms? all I know I'd be willing to move my car from one side of the street from 9-4:30 to have not only the streets clean. but on top of that more money for raises when some idiot gets ticketed for not moving the car on a street "plowing" day.

What do you guys think?

since the blizzard of 79 that got bilandic ridden out on a stick. the streets have been plowed immediately. i don't know what you're talking about.

let me elaborate.. actual radio transmission of a couple young guys actually working and their LOSER sergeant who has wet dreams of not having a life whatsoever (ie, fucking idiot)...

fucking idiot: "three oh"
dispatch: "1130?"
fucking idiot: "three oh...status of 32?"
dispatch: 1132 for the mobil...
1132: "32, clear from our stop on flournoy, have 3 on the hood at Springfield and Van Buren, whats up?"
dispatch: "30, they have 3 on the hood at Springfield and Van Buren"
fucking idiot: "negative, as far as I see they are at flournoy and kildare... I am here and do not see them"
1132: 'sarge, we are a couple blocks away with 3, 1 may be wanted in a homicide, want us to stay put for a meet?"
fucking idiot: "Negative you are suppose to be at flournoy and kildare get to where you are suppose to be...
fucking idiot: "three oh."
dispatch: 1130?
fuckin idiot: "three oh, hold me here with 32 getting to the bottom of this, then hold me in 011 on a SPAR"
1132: "squad, 19-paul on the possible homicide offenders, hold us meeting the sergeant at flournoy and kildare."

and thats just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to this moron. nothing ever came of the 'spar" as Im sure this stroke three oh just made these guys kiss his ass for a while, as he gets off on this shit. I worked for this tricky bitch for a while. Worked in the district for some time. I could make an entire blog on the futility of this girls career. If you want more, let it be known and Ill continue. But the fact is this clown is a joke. Probably doesnt even deserve this attention. Thank god tricky will NEVER get promoted. He's just not smart enough and even the department recognizes this formally. He is trouble and will jam up Jesus Christ himself if given te opportunity! so if you are in 011, LOOK OUT FOR TRICKY!

We demand drug and alcohol test on all "witnesses" and "victims" on scene. All drug and alcohol related crimes should have a $ penalty on the offenders and victims. Officers responding to such crimes should be able to sue the victim and/or offender ( Link Cards?) for risking the officers life to come to their aide. If the victim or offender does have drugs or alcohol in his or her system, they should not be allowed to sue the city or its officers,pay a penalty and the city back for sevices rendered. Mr Sharpton and all reverends should be investigated. Who are their financial backers? Who contributes to them, victims and their law suits? Criminal history and the criminals they associate with. If we are to held to this standard then they should be as well. Let's set up a review board of Reverends. I nominate Seiser to head this. Do I have a second?

What those idiot protesters didnt realize was that the CPD had just fought in the King riots,it was a combat-hardened PD.
Did u hear what Brokow said about his father who was a diehard liberal: His father was disgusted that the protesters "provoked" the Police like that. Too bad his father isnt writing the history books.

Reverends have not been elected into office and were not voted on "By the People". We are not governed by any of you and you have no authority. So go ahead, why not run for office (some of our have...and shocker...you were not elected), give a financial discloser of what $ you have and from where. Let's open up your backgrounds and what you have done and with whom.
Rev Sharpton ( Mr. I AM THE LAW), by asking for a Citizen Review Panel, you are creating a biased jury and putting officers on trial. They will be guilty until proven innocent. The Police Department would like the same then. We, as citizens, will determine who is guilty without any Constitutional laws or background. You spit on the Constitution and are un-American. Rev Sharpton, you are a giant a** and are the biggest racist I have ever seen. You judge a person by the color of their skin and by the uniform they wear. You are an insult to activists who have worked hard to get rid of racism. Ooops ...maybe that is it! Maybe you need to keep racism alive for job(donation) security. Maybe instead of running your mouth and giving lip service to the communities you serve you should go out and serve and protect the citizens yourself. Stop the gangs and drug trafficing. After all you are an expert. You have done nothing for your flock except take greatful donations and run your mouth. You should be arrested for attempting to blackmail the City of Chicago into putting in a Superintendent of your choice and color of skin just for the sake of the color of skin. NO protection, NO police, Rev. Sharpton is on the beat. He will show us how it is done. Clean up the City by himself, just one.

BOTH of them CONSTANTLY kept raising their hands and asking stupid questions and made never ending comments.

Take It from a copper who's wife is a dispatcher everything said over the radio "IS" recorded,They already know which radio is which.the dispatcher can reach to the right side of console and with one finger can playback the last transmission.By the way as soon as the radio is keyed the radio number is displayed to the dispatcher,that's why you will hear a sgt ask for the radio number. Be aware that if you are making fun of someone's race on the radio it could come back on you. Remember ladies and gents keep it professional on the radio because "BIG" BROTHER'S watching and listening--be safe and watch out for each other because on one else will.
