Here's a Stunning Thought

A stunning thought for tiny minded liberals:
  • Maybe the reason that police are cleared in almost 100% of the shootings is because they broke no law, violated no policy and actually are trained professionals with guns who shoot better than those shooting at them.
The round table is a preliminary investigation. Always has been. And it's sole purpose is to determine if rules were followed. It attributes no guilt or innocence as that is the purview of the courts. It's a purely Administrative hearing and as all questions are compelled to be answered, none of it is admissible in any court of law.

The Tribune article is full of lies, half truths, deliberate distortions and one sided bullshit. If we hadn't already canceled our newspaper subscriptions months ago, we'd be canceling them yesterday. As it is, we encourage everyone to express their displeasure by having friends, family and acquaintances to cancel their subscriptions.

I cancelled my subscription to the Trib the other day. I feel like a lowlife now because the only person i am hurting is the poor delivery guy. I use to tip him 20$ this time of the year. Feels better to read this nonsense online now and not have to pay for it.

Hey SCC, I was going south bound on LSD heading to traffic court and guess what i was next to in the bumper to bumper traffic. A car with Il lic plate README, Yes it was the ugly MOP-RAH driving her Mini jaguar. That dufuss does not know that she is driving a glorified Ford Taurus, the engine is built along with the Taurus engine.

Let's face it..to work the street (mainly the ghetto) is an absolute culture shock. I can't tell my family most of the stories because they think I'm nuts. They always want police stories. So one Christmas I brought a copy of a case report and they read it. They pretended like they didn't read it. The next year I asked them what happened. They said they couldn't believe it. I told them you want to know, but you don't want to know. I feel so sorry for the young guys coming on this job.

Here's a stunning thought, let it go. Since when do the disinformed media control the laws? NEVER! So let it go. We know the truth about our job, the dangers, the reality of being a constant target of the media, the public and most importantly, the bad guys. Why let this petty BS get to you? Are you looking for more stress in your life? Try yoga.

The FOP should use this as an opportunity to push for a mandatory delay in the questioning of any officer involved in a shooting.

As pointed out in previous posts, most experts agree that an officer involved in such a traumatic incident should not be questioned for at least 24 hours.

Let's protect our brothers and sisters first!

Checked the FOP updates today, lead topic was about letters to Santa, wow your union at work.

Listen up, Fartface. Your union is there to get you good wages and benefits and give you some level of job security. It does a damn good job. Santa is there to delver presents and good cheer. He does well, too. Your job is to shut the fuck up and stop exposing yourself as an imbecile that does not have a handle on elementary school grammar. Thus far, you are a failure. You make us all look bad.

Fartface? That's the best you could come up with?

Perhaps the FOP should weigh in at some point here, many of it's members are livid that they have remained dead silent over the past year when we have been bashed left and right.

I don't give a rats ass about Santa, I want a union that will fight for us.

I've met the current editor of the Chicago Tribune. What follows is a note I sent her today:

Dear Ann Marie:

As I read today's Tribune, I had to wonder what had happened to the tearful woman I spoke to as she hugged her daughter tight while leaving the the memorial service at St. Nicholas Ukrainian Cathedral that marked the one-year anniversary of Officer Mike Ceriale's assassination by a teenage gang member. Are you the same Ann Marie Lipinski who felt such a personal attachment after editing a series about Mike and his partner, Joe, that she felt she should attend that service with her daughter?

If so, have you somehow forgotten in the intervening years what Chicago Police Officers face everyday so that the law abiding citizens or this city -- regardless of race -- can feel safe? Have you -- or any of the reporters involved in this article -- ever had to make a split second life or death decision? Would you, or they, even want to for a salary that won't buy a house in Chicago, a uniform allowance and a pension that, at less than 45% funding, may or not be there if you make it to 20 years with your health intact?

Mike, my brother and thousands upon thousands of Chicago police officers are honorable, brave and heroic men and woman who do not deserve to be besmirched or have their integrity brought into question on the front page of the Chicago Tribune.

Please be advised that this long-time subscriber has canceled my subscription to the Chicago Tribune -- an action that I know many subscribers with family and friends who are members of the Chicago Police Department are taking.

Here's the problem with letting it go, the media does have a high impact on public opinion with their distortion of the truth. The politicians put pressure on the administration and what do ya know, Good guy is fighting for his job. Show the world we have a right to defend ourselves with deadly force and that the bad guy is an offender not a victim. Where are the Brass, FOP and PB&PA on these issues? Speak out in our defense!!!!

The Tribune article is full of lies, half truths, deliberate distortions and one sided bullshit.

What the hell do you think this blog is filled with, SCC? I read the article and I think it's saying that the investigations into police-involved shootings need an overhaul. Is that so far off base? Roundtables are a joke, and you admit as much in your response. Making rulings without key witneses? Autopsy results? Imagine if the dics investigated your average homicide that way. If a shooting is justified, then how is it that a thorough review of the facts could hurt? It only helps. It helps keep bullshit lawsuits from being filed, it helps keep the city from shelling out taxpayer money, it helps officers know where they stand, it helps get truly bad officers off the streets.

Most of all, it helps keep nosy reporters off your ass.

An overhaul is long overdue. Quit being so sensitive.

You see what happens when the people of our country are disarmed by the liberals? A looney tunes lights up a mall and no one was there to end the spree. If one armed good guy had heard the firtst shots or saw him they could have neded this quick. A copper off duty just killed the other loon in another mall for the same thing, one injured there I believe.
This is the funny thing, If this was Ford city it would be the police fault and response time fault and never a mention of the bad guy. This city licks nuts, salty nuts

Wrong, penis breath! The only failure here is you!

For twenty five years the FOP has done nothing, absolutely nothing to get us good benefits and wages. We have lost benefits with the FOP. When other major cities were getting six to ten percent increases we were and still are lucky to get four- we have never had a true raise over four percent in twenty five years.

Look at YOUR effen contract. Do you see anything about job security? Hmmmm? There is none. The city can cut the force anytime it wants and lay people off. No where is there a minimum number of jobs required- like other real unions have.

The FOP does a piss poor job. Can you bid to specialized units by seniority- no, you need clout. Can you accuse a boss of violating Federal or State labor laws? No! FOP will tell you point blank they will not get a boss fired or jailed for violating laws.

FOP will not get involved in anything controversial that will give the member a victory. They have the same old sing song- no pyrric victories. Hire your own lawyer.

For twenty five years all they have done is screwed us out of our dues money to feather their own nests.

At least Santa Claus gives you something. The VFW, American Legion, the Moose, the Elks, and AARP do more for their members than your effen precious FOP.

No sir, I do not have to smell your breath to know you have your head up your ass. You, like the FOP are a charlatan and a fraud.

The FOP is nothing more than an organized criminal organization. They steal our money and do nothing. They should be decertified as a bargaining unit forever by the Feds.

Now go to the FOP Hall and swill some more of that free bribe beer to salve your miserable conscience and rot your brain further. You are an embarassment to the human race and intelligent people everywhere.

From Second City Skeptik...

Come on guys... Where in the story does it say that every cop is bad and every shoot is bad? In fact, is says most of the shoots are good, but an investigative process that lacks credibility puts all the good shoots under a cloud.

If some of the investigations are half-assed, that leaves every investigation open to criticism.


No one likes to be criticized -- especially when the criticizing is being done by a reporter who tells the truth from the relative safety of a desk.

No matter whose version of the truth you believe, the fact is that officers, during that split second -- make mistakes -- a wholly human characteristic. And mistakes can happen in fear of one's life.
The fact is taht some some shoots are mistakes. That doesn't mean they're bad shoots. They're mistakes. When that's the case, in a perfect world, we'd be able to call them mistakes. But unfortunatley we have a mayor and a power structure that won't support officers who make honest mistakes.

The easy thing to to is shoot the messenger (even if he's unarmed). Anyone who says that every shoot is "justified" has let the smoke being blown up his ass tickle his brain. We know there are bad shoots out there and when they're covered up by bosses to get through the next exempt meeting, they're hurting us out there. Best to let the good shoots be good shoots and let the bad ones be bad ones.

I just have to wonder, does the media in whole just really hate the police or is it all about money? i think its money. more importantly, the academy should ask any reporter who writes against the police to come down and get some training. put them in a situation where they have a split second to decide to shoot or not. remember media, the second thing a policeman worries about is helping you, the first is to make sure they and their partner make it home alive.

Hey SCC, NOw I really believe King Daley reads your blog.Yesterday while giving a news briefing did you notice the stylish new haircut the midget was styling?
Also did you read the racist comments mo-prah made about the sgt. standing trial for aledgedly raping the crack ho. Talk about racial profiling, she made all those comments just based on his appearance. Cant say the sgt. is a racist because he sure likes black punnany.

I've officially cancelled my subscription to the tribune. the operator asked why and i told him it was because of their jumping on the "bash the police" bandwagon. I then followed the call up with an e-mail to their customer service detailing the reason i cancelled, which was their need to follow in the footsteps of the sun times. my cancelled subscription may mean nothing to them, but it sure made me feel 100 times better!
BE SAFE!!

Nice piece today in the Trib by John Kass titled "Top Cop May Get A Cold Hello, Early Exit." That deer in the headlight look he had when he was introduced by Daley will only get worse. Maybe he should also look into the shooting mentioned in today Trib on 71st St. Is Officer D. Carrothers cleared in the shooting related to Ald. Ike Carrohers?

Only the union president has a take home car. The rest, even when they are on 24 hour call, do not have take home cars.

If you think the FOP does nothng, next time you are in a jam at work, let's say a shooting, don't call the FOP, handle it yourself. The most welcome sight you can see is an FOP rep arriving to help keep your ass from being fired or going to prison.

Regarding the recent double fatal traffic accident in 019 with an off duty PO, DUI, etc., that unit rep did a great job of getting an attorney down to the district to represent the PO and protect his rights. True, the FOP won't pay for the lawyer being an off duty incident, not acting as the police etc. but that PO was damn glad to have an attorney there during his processing, questioning etc.

To all the PO's complaining that the FOP can't seem to negotiate a proper contract, please tell me how you might go about negotiating a contract with a city run by Richard M. Daley, with a lead labor attorney for the City who just slams down the City's proposals and says that's it take it or leave it.

And what will the FOP do, strike? No, against the law. Job action? Also against the law. What then? The FOP must go through the motions of trying to negotiate a contract in the face of a fucked up city that will not bargain in good faith. Does anyone have any ideas how to negotiate with a group of assholes that won't give an inch? We can't strike, we can't take an organized job action, what then?

The only option is to take good faith actions towards trying to get a contract in place and when the City acts in such an unreasonable manner to justify filing for arbitration then the FOP files for arbitration.

The lack of a timely decent contract is the City's fault, not the union. The only weapons the FOP has if the City will not compromise on issues are to file for arbitration, conduct informational picketing and hire a PR firm. The FOP does all of those things.

It is the City who will not negotiate, not the FOP. Write the Mayor with your gripes, he's the asshole who's position is always "my way or the highway."

FOP has NEVER gotten us a sizable raise, even with crime down every year for at least 5 yrs. in a row.. All we get is the stastus-quo raises, that barely keep up with rising prices and taxes. We are scammed every inch opf the way with the paltry raises we get. No other city agency is as successful year after year, in doing what it's supposed to, fighting crime, as the CPD, who get the shaft, and get paid like we are gargageman or bus drivers.

Print is dead, the Tribune and Scumtimes are trying fruitlessly to save readers by writing sensationalistic articles about the CPD.

Not to worry most of the alleged "victims" of police shootings and their families can't read anyways. The only people who read the paper are hopefully intelligent enough to know that the Chicago news media is 1/2 a step ahead of the supermarket tabloids.

The CPD will out live the Trib and the Scumtimes.

The story is is one-sided. Having knowledge of one of the incidents, they left out keys facts that would have explained the officers actions. Standing alone, things often look wrong, but brought within context, actions are "justifiable," maybe wrong in hindsight, but still justifiable. Actions of those shot often precipitated the chain of events which led to their demise.

In similar fashion, the (white)Police chief of Jacksonville, FL held a press conference announcing that his department has done everything possible to combat rising violence in his city(community policing,outreach and social programs, etc), and now there is only 1 alternative left. HIRE 235 new officers at a cost of more than 20 million dollars.

Jacksonville has the highest crime rate of any city in Florida.Most of it Black-on-Black..that part of the news story was glossed over!

GREAT JOB FOP/DONAHUE on the written response to the Tribune!!

You not only said what needed to be said, which probably made you feel good, it also made the men and women you represent look like bitter, petty and vindictive children who are overly sensitive to what the media says about us.

Man, you really showed them. You've got to be the first person in the history of journalism to ever call a newspaper biased. I am sure they're wetting themselves over at the Tribune, wondering what impact publishing your letter will have on the world economy, the tides and on the outcome of the 2008 national election.

I am sure it's being circulated widely -- in the mail room.

It's likely Sam Zell, upon reading your letter will give his investment in the paper a second thought.

The letter, so profound, will be broken in to several paragraphs and turned in to a week-long series in the Tribune. It will replace Tom Skilling's weather page because -- when's the last time you heard the Tribune write anything positive about the weather?

The Pope plans to incorporate excerpts of the letter into his Christmas mass from St. Peter's in Rome.

In a small village in China an elder with mystical powers is currently inscribing the letter, FOP logo included, on to a grain of rice. The wise man will scatter the grain across a fertile field. A rare, beautiful bird will eat the rice, digest it and in mid-flight, expell what is a more proper version of your truth across the land.

NASA is planning to include a copy of the letter on its next space probe that will be fired into deep space in order to convince aliens that intelligent life does NOT exist here on earth.

So, congratulations. Another problem solved by the FOP. Thanks.

When your wife or daughter has a crazed drug addict raping her blood drips down her neck where the knife is pressed, I will wait until he finishes his business impregnating your wife or daughter with his demon seed and infecting her with some incurable STD. I will ask the gentleman if he'll comply and let himself be arrested. If not I'll call for an ambulance andwrite the report. Then I will go have a nice cup of coffee and put my self in for an honorable mention for providing the exact type of police work the taxpayers are expecting.

To support the wishes of our Media...why in the future dont we allow a shooting by a PO be investigated as all other shootings, i.e. fast forward to year 2015 "There was a shooting in Englewood this morning by a 7th Dist PO in which an award winning 19 year old was killed after he pulled a TEC 37 on the Officer working alone due to the shortage of PO's, this occurred in a hallway of a drug-infested 2 flat, the honor student had been in the top 50% percentile of his GED class, notifications were made to Area 1 detective division which is procedure in shooting cases, two detectives responded along with 2 crimelab technicians, a canvass was made for witnesses, and statements were taken from all 450 eye-witnesses who were also in the hallway. Due to conflicting statements from witness as to whether the Officer had beady eyes and/or a nazi mustache this investigation is continuing.....footnote, the 11 year old rape victim on the second floor who's life this Officer saved is in stable condition at Holy Cross hospital...her family (the owner of the two flat) is suing the CPD damages to the apartment doors where the Officer made a forced entry....We the MEDIA cannot understand why the police department does not convene a preliminary investigation into the circumstances of police shootings"...and the circus continues...retired 5 years and still proud
