Challenge to the Mayor
If Chicago is such a safe place and gun laws are going to keep everyone safe and sound, we'd like to see the following:
- The mayor and aldercreatures give up any and all weapons in their possession. An amnesty would be granted to head off any awkward questions about origins of said weapons. This would include any guns former aldercreature Tillman has - she isn't authorized to carry a weapon anymore and we'd love to get hold of that pistol she waved around on the floor of the Council chambers.
- The mayor and certain city officials give up their body guard details, especially aldercreature Burke, seeing as how the alleged threat that necessitated body guards was close to twenty years ago and nothing ever came of the threat.
It's one thing to tell everyone else how to live and trust in the power of the state to protect them. It's completely another to do it from behind a phalanx of armed men. Practice what you're preaching and lead by example.

dorothy will never give up her "gat"- she will go to slim's church and hole up. we'll have to smoke the bitch out.
I cant add anything to that. Im humbled to even be able to post on this site; SCC Im in awe of you!
Do any of you whore reporters(not u Kass)want to ask da fuehur or his whore underlings these same questions that the owner of this blog just presented?
Investigative/unbiased/ground breaking media:yea right,KISS MY ASS!!!!!
I usually laugh and think that certain posts are not worth responding to but I have to respond for the 2nd time ever . I repsonded a few months ago when I was attacked for catching the seniority glitch which led to city-wide implications.
Yes I was stripped yesturday and although I cannot discuss the allegations against me and other officers involved, I can say that they have no merit. After being investigated, they will show that the gang banging folks who initiated them, have dollar signs in their minds and just plain lied.
I have received literally over a 100 phone calls of encouragement from co-workers and those I call friends on the job. Those are the folks that know me.
I now ask one thing of those who are attacking my character with senseless and crazy comments:
Please have the stones to give your name as I have done so in my previous post and as I will affix to this comment as well.

Ok, officers. This is a trap. I've worked with NM(in the same car), and he is certifiable. he's also one of the most litigous cavemen I've ever met. You post your name on this blog and he WILL sue you. Look up his name and lawsuit involment you'll see what I mean. He's a rat, liar, and plain old bad cop. He has on numerous occassions attempted to hang other officers, in order to get clear of this. So. since NM dosen't want to discuss the allegations against him, I will. He's been caught on audio tape coercing a shit head to plant evidence. This is not a rumor, it is fact.He's going down, and rightfully so. He is the only cop I've ever worked with (and I've worked with some bad ones), that I wished would lose his job. Not because I hate him, although I do, but do to the fact that every person he comes in contact with is in extreme danger in any number of ways. I find it funny, that while he's received over "100" phone calls pledging support, no one on this blog seems to support him. Even JF had his followers. What does that tell you? We will be better without him -trust me. This is beyond gun teams, tac teams, west side or north side. He is a blight on this department,and JW is wise send him packing.
Marko you know who this is, and I will contribute in any way I can to ensure that you never wear a police star again.
No I have not seen the "prototype" van driving around...I dont care what you think...anything is better than the current wagons we have...they are not practical for what we need...way too big to fit down alleys and streets...can't load a body, prisoners escape from roof hatch...we need something less expensive and more practical..the current wagons suck
2/23/2008 12:44:00 PM
??? Can't load a body? I've loaded many a body into the wagon, why can't you? You can fit at least 10 people in each compartment but you can't seem to fit one stiff? Roof hatch has been retrofited with a lock, and I drive down alleys and streets all day long. Something less expensive? What the fuck do you care? If your not a wagon man, then stfu, since I don't care what YOU think.
True burke has what 6 and 2 at all times? working 2 on 3 off plus unlimited overtime and take home cars! he has more valets that the restaurants have downtowm wtf? but he is "king eddie" and the new boss is afraid to move his deatil away! Hey boss why did the city clerk dump his guys and now drives himself? He is a citywide official, but yet burke has a ward full of open spaces and gets all this royal treatment! If fair is fair why not all aldercreatures gettin the same treatment?
HEY TRU....
I know not all of you guys are clueless puppets w/ 18 months on the job (and I mean that seriously, there are some good guys in TRU). Will one of you find the guy who called "emergency" on CW1 Sat night for the "Following a car" for "DRUNK DRIVING", please take away his radio until his 23rd birthday and then explain to him what an emergency is.
C'mon, don't you know that aldercreatures live by different rules than the rest of us? Turn in their guns? They're buying more guns that they don't even register. If you or I forgot to register a bunch of guns for many years, we'd go to jail. But the aldercreature might get to finagle his way out of it.
Hey Frank, hey Fran, here's a story. Send your legman to Superior and look on the dockets for aldercreatures. See who's got a hearing coming up in the next couple of weeks on gun registration.
Oh, no, the press doesn't want to embarass this aldercreature because he's a good source for them. This story gets buried, but the next poor schmo on the northwest side who isn't a friend of Fran's who gets caght with this many guns will be roommates with Bubba and Pookie.
The mayor wants to stop anybody from having handguns in the city, how about that applies to his aldercreature friends, too?
(OT) just looked at sundays scum times! Seems the bitch that set up laski traci jones took tens of thousands in cash from the clerks office at 5301 S Cicero! Hope they get her! Who are the coppers hanging around with the felon snitch mick jones? Do they know they will lose the job?
Til the day I die I will never forget when after 911 they closed City Hall. What the fuck for? Even terrorist's know it's filled with useless do nothings. A pakistinian store owner looking at me like a cat lost in a shopping mall and asking "Why Dem? You know? Someone mebbe portant in country bisiting?" I held my sides and laughed so hard it was the first time in my life I really thought I would piss my pants. Who would want to kill one of these fucks?
So, you have legal carry for POs(always) and now Retirees(HR218) in the city and alderlice because of some old obscure city law that isnt legal outside the city, that nobody wants to challenge.
How come none of you elite civilians are challenging thier right to carry? They're not trained POs. Why is your life worth any less?
Maybe it should be an emergency referendum: SHOULD ALDERWHATEVER
HAVE THE RIGHT TO CARRY?
Also: SHOULD TAXPAYER DOLLARS PAY FOR THE ARMED BODYGUARDS OF THE MAYOR AND OTHER CONNECTED PEOPLE?
Legit questions when the ordinary citizen has no right to defend themselves!
Is is likely the IRS (feds) will be checking the Exempt's tax returns to see if the take home car was accounted for?
Oh shit! another scandal:}
It's not like they won't be on the corner tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day, and the next day...
Is it worth your job and/or prison?

This is one of those really useless comments just telling you that this blog rules.
But also, I'm wondering if you know of anybody in the Seattle PD or King County Sheriff's Department blogging anywhere near as well.
Also, I'm wondering who you would nominate for best law enforcement blogs.
Also, the main reason I went looking for cop blogs in the first place is I loved David Simon's The Wire and I read my share of crime fiction and true crime and I wondered if I would eventually find comments by blogging cops on that show, cop shows in general, or true crime books and documentaries in general. I wonder if you have a crime reading list you recommend.
any links to past posts here or other cops posts on any of these subjects would be great.
The Chicago Patrolmen's Federal Credit Union has announced a special loan program titled "The Mass Exit Retirement Party Tickets Loan Program"
Due to so many upcoming retirement parties at the cost range of $50 to $75 for each ticket, the credit union has extended a special loan at 19.75% for officers wishing to attend these many parties.
Don't be left out of this historic time in the Chicago Police Department history. By the time this forced retirement period is over, it is expected that the Chicagoland banquet halls will have a 100% occupancy rate. Area specialized plaque and trophy shops are already over-whelmed by the numerous requests of 100's of engraved plaques for these high ranking retirees.
More officers will dine on steak, beef and family style dinners this year than any other year in the CPD history.
Many officers have said that they don't even expect to go grocery shopping from March till the end of the year due to eating strictly at retirement parties.
Many of the more frugal officers have taken extra inventory plastic bags from their units to store all the left overs from these parties.
We would like to thank the Credit Union for their insight into this financial burden that will be placed on so many officers!
Bravo!!!
Well said SCC.
Why does Burke have 6 Bodyguards all working days?
Why does Burke get a Marked Car (No Beat Tag) placed in front of his unoccupied mansion while he gets a FREE Police Pod Camera (Free Security) at the corner of his other Mansion which he resides.
What kiss ass police boss authorized the unmanned, marked beat car be placed in front of Burkes other mansion? Or was it some boss kiss ass boss from Fleet Management?
Are we not having a problem obtaining "Pool Cars"?
Who authorized the Pod camera? There is no possible justification for that pod to be there because the crime stats do not warrant a Police Pod Camera at that location. There are plenty of high crime and high volume of gangs and narcotics area in the 008th district which that camera can be better utilized. Who monitors Burke's personal Police Pod Camera anyway?
Although everything mentioned is visible to the public eye, there's really nothing that can be done about all the dirty politics, corruption, perks, and abuse of political power that goes on in our city.
Why you ask? You didnt know?
Did it ever occur to you why only the Feds make the headlines busting our corrupt politicians?
Well, here's just one of the reasons why:
How convienant years ago, how all city council members including our mayor voted and passed an ordinance so that they're never to be investigated by IGO or Chicago Police.
Amazing huh? The Truth be told!
Go F.B.I. if you cant do it, we surely cant!
Lets see, rumor has it that the Mayor has about what? 24 Bodyguards? All making sgts pay, and a shit load of fleet/police vehicles compliments of the city tax payors.
Wow!This guy probably has more bodys gaurds/security than the U.S. Embassy in Iraq! WHY????
This doesnt include the 24hour Policemen detail to his office at City Hall.
This doesnt include all the policemen assigned to city council
This doesnt include all the policemen assigned to the lobby of City Hall.
Now how about all those other members of various departments that have bodygaurds/security details that have not been mentioned.
What a shame. This is how he puts our tax dollars to work?
What a waste of police manpower and resources.
MORE MOVERS! MORE MOVERS! MORE MOVERS!
"So word has it Jody is looking for proof of these "quotas" and will be slamming the Sgts and Lts for demanding such things it is, afterall, the root of all problems! SUPERVISORY EXPECTATIONS!"
What will happen to these Supervisors after this comes to light?
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
Come down from the clouds & stop putting you faith entirely in the hands of a man who spent his career going after working Policemen in order to get where he is today.
Ask yourself this one Junior crimefighter, the FBI goes after Us but who investigates them ?
Don't kid yourself, they're dozens of dirty Agents..
They are the liberal elites! Even one of the biggest anti-gunners in the Senate Feinstein from |NO GUN |San |Francisco has a conceal carry permit. Hipocrites all!
Maybe Burke is paranoid that the Feds are coming. He and his wife were supposed to be indicted for fixing cases over 10 years ago. Maybe the POD is looking for the Feds.
IRS and take home cars. There is only tax liabliity if the car is solely used for door to too transportation. If it's used for business, no tax problem.
dear mr shaved long cock
thanks for the morning laugh, regarding the credit union.
Why all the cameras and guards...because like Tony Montana said...it makes me sleep good at night.
And like Tony Montana they are dirty as hell!
He is public offical, an someone please post the address of these two "mansions" that he has in the 8the district? I will personally drive by everyday and take a photo of this unmanned car posted there and then send them to the ig office
Can we get any details about the FTO test? How many showed up? How many passed? Were the questions fair? ect....
Funny part is that even though he is aa tool, he still did more that all or the 3 watches and tact/gang combined in 023. He did more work here in 023 than all the "fillmore rangers" combined that have invaded our district. Judging by the work these "rangers" do here no wondering the ghetto is falling apart
Did it ever occur to you that they came there to chill out, and leave the ghetto behind and enjoy a do-nothing district? nice restaurants great scenery and no work, oh and did I mention hot broads? at least those guys will have real police stories to tell these women, not the boystown shit you guys run with...
2/24/2008 05:40:00 AM
Well let's see the hard chargers from 011 who came here have a combined mayber 17 years on the job. So do not tell me you worked you ass off in the ghetto and came here to relax.
You worked your cycles there,came off you ppo status, kissed up making bullshit drinker and sub arrest to get the almighty tact/gang spot. You then continued the same route of drinker and subs. staking up those great numbers with two a week busllshit stings getting credited fro 50 arrests a week then say you came to 023 to relax.
The only thing you need to relax from is all your story telling about how you where the "real police"
Great Post SCC!
Think about it. When you add up cars, salaries, overtime, lost revenue from removing officers from the street, etc., I would be willing to bet that Burke's "security" costs the taxpayers about a million $ or more each year. One million bucks in the Department budget can buy 30-40 squad cars or hundreds of high quality PDTs. Each year!! Stop the Burke handouts!!
Calling Denis Doherty. Dnis Doherty come in, please.
Denis, you are on Burke's detail. You guard the door at his Committee on Finance in City Hall. You are running for PRESIDENT OF THE FOP!!
Please justify your bullshit job for us. We need to know why you should be a doorman inside of City Hall rather than working the street. Give us two good arrests you've made while on Burke's detail and three reasons your job is important to taxpayers. You do that and I'll give you my vote. Fat chance, jerkoff.
Just saw on the web that Ralph Nader is going to run as a 3rd party guy. We need to support his effort and encourage certain people
to vote for him. We can "perot" the
lefty guy, whoever she or he may be!

I asked once before just where everyone gets the idea that Alderpersons have a right to carry concealed firearms. I received a good answer that basically said that ther are considered "conservators of peace," under Illinois Law. The answer also quoted the appropriate chapeters for that law. However, there was also information that in order to carry a concealed firearm the Alderpersons had to avail themselves of a training course. I don't remember the details of the training, but it was in the act that authorized this, or in the Police Training Act. I am pretty sure that few, if any of them have completed this training. I would think that it should be a matter of public record if they did.
The point is, I don't think they can be authorized for concealed carry by a city ordinance, since it would still be unlawful under stat law. Anyway I have yet to find such a city ordinance.

DON'T VOTE FOR NASH
this post should be sent to all news agencies in Illinois.
it should apply to the governor as well.
put up or shut up you lying crooked ass politicos.

Holy Shit Batman!!!
Amen. Brother, life is good when your on top of the world!
Daley and Burke are but two of the corrupt local elected officials who have millions in off-shore accounts in both Switzerland and the Grand Caymans.
The typical local voter is a clueless moron. Consider the fact that about half are even dumber than that.
isn't the term "aldercreature" a little childish???
DALEY IS THE ANTICHRIST.
Although this has nothing to do with this post, I find it too hard to wait for the right one to say this. The new top cop wears the Chicago police uniform which at first didn't bother me in the least, but after some thought I had to reconsider. Wearing that uniform really isn't done by going to the academy! Wearing that uniform is earned by walking the dark streets of this city. Answering calls to unknown situations, calling for help in a situation that you believe will cause you and your partner great harm or death and knowing that the rest of your partners will show up, working the 1st watch at 0530 on the 6th day sitting on a light waiting for checkoff and falling asleep waking up at checkoff with your heart in your throat because you think your in deep shit. These are the things that make us what we are. The f.b.i. doesn't work like this, the majority of their arrests are made by beat coppers (not gangs, tact or detectives) for which those coppers get little or no recognition for the pinch. The next day the paper says "f.b.i. arrests most wanted". When I think back to the numerous friends and partners that have died on this job or been badly injured, ( Cali, Marquez, Torres, Mitchel, Domagala, Dobson) just to name a few for point in fact, This agent wearing our uniform is just WRONG! Even O.W. Wilson only wore a suit and he was perfectly correct in doing so. Its the little things all added up that make the Chicago copper what they are. The new boss doesn't have the little things. Is it ok for him to be the boss? I believe so. Is it ok for him to wear the uniform? I think not. He doesn't have to wear the uniform to administer the organization, but he lacks the experience to handle a combative street stop. I have no Ill feelings towards the new boss but you don't start out by making yourself appear the streetwise equal to the newest p.p.o.. No matter how bad some of us talk about the job, deep down somewhere we respect that uniform and have paid the price to wear it in times of pride and in times of shame. I really wish him luck in clearing up the mess he has gotten himself involved in but he should do it from a desk at 35th street in a suit surrounded by patrolmen that know the job. I'm retired and may have no right to this opinion but my uniforms are hanging in my basement because I couldn't bring myself to sell, throw or give them away. Whats up with that?

Read the G.O. office. While in pursuit of a vehicle, DUI has the most lenient "balancing" test. do the math. It's kind of like getting into a foot chase with someone who's "holding their side."
Car chases are an emergency. If you're chasing a vehicle that is swerving and driving erratically, what would you say you're chasing for - minor traffic? Fuck that, they're displaying the clues and indicators of a higher crime. Maybe you'd just do it off the air - hope they dont catch you when they pull EVERY SINGLE camera in a 6 block radius of the crash in order to hang you. Do it legit, just use the best tools you have.
Is is likely the IRS (feds) will be checking the Exempt's tax returns to see if the take home car was accounted for?
Oh shit! another scandal:}
I have always wondered what the order is on take home cars. Can they be used when off duty to drive family around? Can they be used to go to the golf course? Can they leave the city to pick up kids at school? Can they be used at all time so in case there is an emergency and the person needs to report somewhere immediately? Do they have to declare that as income?
And come to IGOLD (Illinois Gun Owners Lobby Day) on March 11th. We'll have at leat 3000 gun owners marching down Capitol Avenue to the 'big house' to show or legislators that we mean business. There are currently 10 buses scheduled, 2 from Chicago.

In my humble opinion, Burke has bodyguards because he has to live in a shitty neighborhood. It's pretty obvious that he has taken abvantage of his ability to insulate himself from what the rest of us have to navigate daily. It should be an insult to everyone in his neighborhood. If it's so safe and wonderful where he lives, why is he protected to the nines?

While I agree with you and those two hard chargers need to stop heading out to the D.O.C. right out of the box -
However, by saying you are behind someone for suspected DUI, that's one of the only ways (aside from shots fired at the police) that a supervisor can allow you to continue a chase. TRU bosses have told us not to chase (or at least don't go over the air till you need to) so saying its a DUI will allow the chase to continue longer.
Nevertheless, those two guys gotta stop heading out of the box right away cause when they're calling for an assist, we're all still at lunch, which is why they needed to call 008 for help last night. Give us time to eat guys!
Wouldn't it be interesting if the same men that are protecting these ASSHOLES, turned on them....food for thought.
As regular joes working the districts, WE have virtually nothing to worry about in the event of an attack on the City of Chicago. Hopefully, with SWAT and TRU the evil doers of Militant Islam will never prevail.
When push comes to shove, it will be the hair gel guys and gals of SWAT and TRU putting on their mighty ninja turtle suits and giving their lives up Downtown for politicians and citizens...not us in the districts! Fuck 'em!!!

It's the basic dynamics of democracy, gone bad.
When the checks and balances are eliminated, through incestuous cooperation between the three branches of government, Executive, Legislative and Judicial, Democracy disappears.
It is, essentially, the failing of the citizens to understand and appreciate their responsibility as citizens.
Three common failings are:
1. Mental Sloth
2. Greed
3. Cowardice
When citizens choose to be mentally lazy, selfish sacks of ball-less shit, democracy degrades into default dictatorship.
When citizens value their meager, day to day comforts more than their freedom, more than honesty, honor, kindness, respect and goodness, when dignity becomes a mere obstacle to acquiring petty possessions, when 'live and let die' replaces 'live an let live', 'do unto others before they do unto you' replaces 'do unto others as you would have others do unto you', and 'what others sow, you can reap, if you're clever enough' replaces 'what ye sow, so shall ye reap', democracy produces autocracy.
A democracy can only be as beneficial to it's citizens as it's citizens require it to be.
Citizens fulfill their obligation to democracy by, first, meeting the standards they require their elected representatives to meet.
'You can't cheat an honest man'.
It's not rocket science.
But it does require 'the people', as a whole, to be honest.
Fat chance of that, huh?
I heard this this was done in St. Louis once upon a time and passed Chicago's city council might be a different story however.
Who's bodyguarding Seiser? I say Burkes detail to protect Seiser!
If these gun laws are good enough for the citizens of this city, then any elected official should give up his or her bodyguard detail or personal weapons immediately...
or let us arm ourselves.
Any word on when they are making Sgt's? I put myself in for merit, I really hope I get it but sadly, no phone call :(
..seems I overheard Dorothy the Hat say they will have to pry her gun from her cold dead hands---not me, after I empty my clip, I'll toss it to the quickest arm.
Whenever Alderscum Burke flys in & out of OHare airport, you should see his detail unit/bodyguards carrying his bags, golf clubs, etc~DISGUSTING!
The crop of 011 District transplants into the 023 district is shameful. These guys did their 2 years in 011 and think everything is owed to them now. Sorry to burst your bubble 011 district rangers but you guys don't know how to do police work. I know chasing the almighty Cheetoh bag and exploiting white hypes is rocket science. Plain and simple, it is easy to do work in the ghetto where shit is falling out of the sky. You guys come hear and have no work ethic and know nothing besides a SUB and DOPW arrests. 023 is by no means busy but there are POs here that are better more well rounded officers.
That Shaved Longcock is one funny dude! But our credit union would never have interest rates as low as 19.75%! But it was a very funny post. And I am sure some TRU cops will be going to the credit union asking for it!
I found this online:
"As an attorney for fhe City of Chicago (and therefore not for attribution), it's the same level of arrogance that lets aldermen get away with carrying handguns that other citzens of the City aren't allowed to carry. Under state statute, aldermen and other elected municipal officials are considered "conservators of the peace" with police powers if they have completed a law enforcement training class. Of course, in practice no one enforces that requirement, and any alderman who wants to do so is free to order up a badge and start totin' a pistol, and I know of several who do."
How about a thread on recommendations for commander of 022?
Weis has bucked the system in the highest level promotions, but the real clout in this department rests with the promotions of Lt to Commander. More than $30K increase in salary and traditionally a decision made by the ranking alderman (woman in this case). Only a very few commanders have ever been dumped back to Lt.
What other districts are without a Cmdr.?
"Wouldn't it be interesting if the same men that are protecting these ASSHOLES, turned on them....food for thought.

Et Tu, Brutus?
Regarding take home cars:
Jimmy Carroll has told the airport K-9s not to use the department vehicle when the dog(partner)is not in the vehicle.
He goes on to say that the vehicle is considered uninsured if the use of the department vehicle is for any other use and a loss occurs.
The liability is on the officer.
This was brought on because one K-9
officer used the vehicle to go to work at special employment without his flea bag and the officer was not on Jimmy's list of favorites.
However, his favorites can do whatever they want. (and often do)
So, using this same fucked up logic and considering that this piece of shit exempt is just
(ab)using his authority.
His driver, Shakes, is in violation as well.
And to the dick heads observed at St. Daniels playing mommy: Don't use the department car to pick up your ratty kids.

Hahahahah thats about as funny as the chicken shit 009th district copper on 1st or 3rd watch that called an emergency for following a van.......it has 5 saints in it!!!
Go learn to be the police south of the blvd.
If Jody pulled the midget's bodyguards and Burke's as well, Jody would be unemployed. And he knows it. He has a contract but what he doesn't have is a free hand in running the CPD. As long as the Daley Crime Family exists, that will never happen.
does anybody know if they started to hire people off the Nov 2006 test

Although this has nothing to do with this post, I find it too hard to wait for the right one to say this. The new top cop wears the Chicago police uniform which at first didn't bother me in the least, but after some thought I had to reconsider. .....
Wow, awesome post. I could not agree with you more. I don't have much time on, but i've been through more shit storms than this jody ever will. There are situations that you get into that only police can really understand. From the fights to the foot chases to the laughs we've all earned the right to wear that uniform. And i feel that someone who hasn't gone through the academy and streets should not get to just wear b/c he's our new boss. He has not earned it and thus should wear his suit and tie. I actually like the new boss, but i think he's making a mistake by wearing OUR uniform.
I am very happy to read some pro-gun sentiment here. I have always believed that the majority of LEOs in Northern Illinois, especially Chicagoland, were anti-gun.
Thanks for taking the time out to fight for those of us who are not LEOs.

OT Regarding FOP ballots. Why are there more retiree names listed? It seems to me that I should vote for those who are still working and still have an idea what's going on in the districts. This makes me think that the RETIREES are thinking about themselves now and not in the working future. How long after you retire do you think you still have to hold on to this job? We need active duty officers running the FOP and less "coffee mug slurping" do nothings.
However, by saying you are behind someone for suspected DUI, that's one of the only ways (aside from shots fired at the police) that a supervisor can allow you to continue a chase. TRU bosses have told us not to chase (or at least don't go over the air till you need to) so saying its a DUI will allow the chase to continue longer

This is wrong, and if the P.O.s in the TRU are being told this, trouble is soon to follow. Sombody better read the order on pursuits.
As a P.O are you that stupid,read the order, protect yourselves, your SGT'S won't.
The day I've been waiting for, March 18, 2008, is coming. The U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on D.C. vs Heller that challenges the D.C.'s (and maybe Chicago's) ban on pistols. I hope to see some Chicagoans in line to get inside! I'll be there bright and early! The decision should be out by the end of June.

unrelated, I took the fto test, they said 450 signed up for it, I have no idea how many showed up (north atrium was full). It was really fair, 75% was needed to pass, and they scored the tests right after you finished .
Well organized, well executed, and would love to know how many showed up.

"Chicago is such a safe place and gun laws are going to keep everyone safe and sound"
Oh please Mr. Mayor,how many times has Chicago been the U.S murder capital???Its amazing that after the handgun freeze(ban)in the early eighties murders skyrocketed.
Those cities with the most stringent gun laws have the highest violent crime rates.Detriot,D.C,Baltimore,Boston,NYC.
Why are places like Montana and Idaho so peaceful??Because almost every pickup truck has a 30-06 or shot gun in the rack.Yet a lack of violent crime with all those guns.

Richie hates guns and wants them all out of Chicago. Why doesn't he send the CAGE Team or the Area Gun Teams to the homes of former aldermen. They are allowed to own and carry handguns while aldermen, but people like Tillman and others are no longer aldermen. Instead of getting data from the ATF and then going to the homes of people who legally buy shotguns and rifles and harassing them, go to the homes of former aldermen. Ask where their handguns are, and arrest them if they have these illegal handguns in their home. If they don't have a handgun anymore, where is it? Failure to keep records of gun sales or transfers is also a crime in Chicago. There must be at least 20 living ex aldermen, probably closer to 50 or more. That's a lot of guns Richie. Or are you only serious about trampling the constitutional rights of people who have never held elected office in Chicago?

Another idiot on the blog. Do you want the Midget to start licensing our bicycles too, for the extra revenue. You need to identify the driver to issue a citation, and that would have to be with a license plate. Don't give the midget any new ideas for revenue. And if you are the police which I don't think you are, write them a ticket for running the light. Let the assholes run the redlights and get hit

Anonymous Anonymous said...
Is is likely the IRS (feds) will be checking the Exempt's tax returns to see if the take home car was accounted for?
Oh shit! another scandal:}
I have always wondered what the order is on take home cars. Can they be used when off duty to drive family around? Can they be used to go to the golf course? Can they leave the city to pick up kids at school? Can they be used at all time so in case there is an emergency and the person needs to report somewhere immediately? Do they have to declare that as income?
2/24/2008 02:06:00 PM
I, for one do not have a take home car, but if I did I would use the car at every chance. Sure it is against the rules like all the snitches on this site know, but we have such a thankless job why not let it work for us at every oppurtunity.
It seems on this Blog that there are a bunch of policemen who can not wait tell (SNITCH) on other policemen, to these policemen I say apply to IAD. Go get those guys using the take home cars to benefit them, fuck all the robbing dope dealing police this guy has a take home and I do not BOO HOO.
Regarding take home cars:
Jimmy Carroll has told the airport K-9s not to use the department vehicle when the dog(partner)is
Have to agree with Carrol balloon head Corcoran uses the car for every thing but the police dog. He uses the I-pass in his personal vehicle, drives the car all over the place, a braggart from day one a clout child who has never worked in a real district. Ask him about hockey and listen to his lies. Ask him about recovered narcotics and you will here even more lies.
I'll believe Jody is for real when Eddie Burke is taking the CTA and not being driven around in a police car. Jody?

In my humble opinion, Burke has bodyguards because he has to live in a shitty neighborhood. It's pretty obvious
Exsqueeze me???....He chose to have his house built there. He could have lived anywhere he wanted. It's another case of land speculating or insider information gone wrong. The area was supposed to be movin up but it didn't. Now he's stuck cuz ain't no one gonna give him anywhere near what it cost.

Actually, most unions require that those holding office, being nominated for office or appointed to same, be working members.
Many require at least 2+ years of active employment with a union contracted employer previous to said eligibility to hold or seek union office.
Few unions allow retired members to have authority over union business areas relevant to the working members interests.
A few unions even require current office holders to resign upon retirement.
Something to think about, as it makes sense.

So, where's my bodyguards?
"TRU bosses have told us not to chase (or at least don't go over the air till you need to) "
The old wink,wink showing it's ass again. The real laffer is 440 of the 450 POs working in TRU truly think that their supervisors have their best interests when a pursuit turns to shit.
Interesting to see how that plays out?
I feel sorry for the people that try to come and take my guns.

just dont vote for retiree's im not
Kind of off topic, but within the spirit of challenging the mayor...
I was just reading my union's newsletter. It details all the great work done by my union in fighting the unjust actions by the city against its employees.
A few of the more nasty things done by the city has been excessive disciplinary actions, lay offs and privatization, reduction in benefits and pay. All of which was done without consultation of the union, and without consideration of state labor laws and contracts, forcing the union in every case to call for arbitration or file suit against the city.
During the election the union was out in full force in support of the incumbents, claiming that these are the people that will continue to protect our best interests.
So my question is, how can democrats be the cause AND answer to all our problems? How can the unions support the very officials that do these horrible things to the workers of this once great city?
...and before you answer, yes, I know that the mayor controls the unions. But why are so many people blind to it?
Anyone who votes democrat in this city is either a political hack that will benefit from his or her election, or is profoundly ignorant.
The crop of 011 District transplants into the 023 district is shameful. These guys did their 2 years in 011 and think everything is owed to them now. Sorry to burst your bubble 011 district rangers but you guys don't know how to do police work. I know chasing the almighty Cheetoh bag and exploiting white hypes is rocket science. Plain and simple, it is easy to do work in the ghetto where shit is falling out of the sky. You guys come hear and have no work ethic and know nothing besides a SUB and DOPW arrests. 023 is by no means busy but there are POs here that are better more well rounded officers.
2/24/2008 04:59:00 PM
yeah, keep livin the dream! Or more like fairytale. Im not from 011... I got DUMPED to 023 from SOS. You can definately tell who has actually worked at one time and who has been in 023 their entire career. Keep knockin the guys from 011 but atleast they have actually had to deal with real scum of the earth types. Unlike you no talent ass wipes who act like uptown is something to talk about. Give me a fucking break. 023 is full of freaks and weird ass mf'ers... AND IM TALKIN ABOUT THE POLICE! So keep talkin like those guys dont know shit, but trust me, any of those guys from 011 have forgot more about police work than you 023 lifers will ever know. Now LET ME THE FUCK OUT OF THIS PLACE!!!
No one is in danger there. Some terrorist bomber would walk into city hall, look around and be like "damn, someone's already done this bitch!" then just walk out in disappointment. hahaha.
Effective June 1st, no covers on license plates including clear.....Wonder why? Plate reader cant decipher plates!!! Go figure.
a challenge to the mayor: showing up at our st. jude march, to honor our departed brothers and sisters.
Anybody else in 013 tired of JM's whining? The guy thinks he knows everything. MEATHEAD needs to leave our district SOON! What a retard!!!
Burke will have to give up his political whore body guards when he checks into the federal prison system. Sooner the better.
Yes, the majority of LEOS are pro
2nd amendment. actually we are for all of the amendments. The handgun is out tool. Wouldn't it look crasy if a carpenter was anti saws, or anti hammer, or a plumber was anti wrench. One thing we are is anti-whore polititians.
as far as take home vehicles... can i continue to p/u my son from school in my canine truck? R.D
WTF...Carroll is a 2face whore.
Ask him where his driver was while he was on the medical for months in eight.
Was he in a beat car?...no
on tact.....hmmm no
perhaps a traffic car....again no
answering phones in theoffice? nope
yet he was on the A&A's everyday and that is a fact!!!
Dumped from 153 to 023? Huh? What your phone call to go to 003 fell through? That must suck!
A great example of an Alderman that should not be allowed to carry a weapon is Ald. Ike Carothers who is now under Federal investigation. His brother, newly merit promoted Lt. Anthony Carothers from the 008th District is always with him anyway.
Worse if Obama get elected he is anti gun and anti police.
Why didn't all of the CPD freebee bodyguards that were on the floor of city council with dorothy tilman get a shot at her?
regarding Carroll's drivers status while Carroll was on the medical, that almost sounds like ghost payrolling?
"Burke will have to give up his political whore body guards when he checks into the federal prison system. Sooner the better.

He'll then have an entirely different type of 'body guard', the kind protecting, and exploiting, their investment in his body, or at least two particular orifices of same.

of a motor vehicle's registration plate recorded by an automated red light enforcement system as defined in Section 1‑105.5 of this Code or recorded by an automated traffic control system as defined in Section 15 of the Automated Traffic Control Systems in Highway Construction or Maintenance Zones Act.
