Sun Times Article
The Sunday Slum Times has a page 1 feature on how the Department doesn't "reflect" the population of the city it serves. It showcases the "reverends" and aldercreatures demanding that J-Fed correct this imbalance, probably by violating the law.
We'll link to the article Sunday morning when we can.
UPDATE: Here's the crap in all it's glory. Criticism to follow.
UPDATE: Anyone else notice that Fran added the Asians to the White number to make it appear Caucasians were the majority? Otherwise, how could Fran's numbers add up to 100% with only White, Black and Hispanic?
Oh wait Cauc-Asian...got it . Never mind.

28.2% of Chicagoans are Latino. We, the Hispanic community, DEMAND that at least 28.2% of all Chicago rocket scientists be Latino.
Only 36.5% of Chicagoans are white while 54% of the police force is white.
We, the Diversity League, DEMAND that the City immediately fire white police officers until their numbers conform to no more than 36.5% of the police force.
I am all for diversity, as long as the hiring standards are not lowered for the minorities.
If "whitey" is the minority why do we still bus minorities into white neighborhood schools.

Mrs. Schweiger (also the mail room police officer),
please stop writing about your husband. Both of your clout is obviously GONE!
I think "they" have been in the process of "correcting" this problem of too many Caucasian police officers already. 022 only gets African-American and Hispanic recruits now. Is it possible that recruit class that was "postponed" last month had too many whites? Someone should keep an eye on this.
I'm SO tired of hearing this shit! Where does it say that the department is SUPPOSED to "reflect the city it serves"??? More liberal crap!
lIFT THE RULE BARRING FELONS AND GANGBANGERS AND THE COLLEGE AND HIG SCHOOL GRADUATION RULE.
YOU'LL GET WHAT YOU NEED!
OFF TOPIC- but very important Talked to realtor today, I'm retiring in less than 30 days. Suggested selling of 189,000.00 for 2 bedroom Mt Greenwood, full finished basement (very nice w/extra bedroom but they don't count it) brick with all the fancy extra extas. west end, close to Pulaski. I pd 210,000.00 5yrs ago because my spouse wanted the driveway instead of the dining room!! STUPID ME! I'm going to try selling it myself but the realtor said good luck, you and 200 others.
Hope J-fed does not start this bullshit to appease the fake revs! (OT) was at midway airport picking up family took a walk to have a smoke, and lo and behold there were ed burkes "valets" with his police crown vic and a big black suv waiting for the king to return from a trip! Hey was that company business! Just carry his luggage valets and STFU!
Great! This will mean: look for more "qualified" recruits comming thru the academy, and hitting the street in a few years. More dumbasses, more thieves, dogs, and possibly a sprinkling of gangbanger. Like this job hasn't already gone to shit!
This is an absolute insult to ALL of us hard working coppers. What the media doesn't understand is that ALL coppers are BLUE. The offenders do not see colors or sex all they see are police doing the job. Now as far as making more minorites to reflect the racial balace of the the city, I say do this and you will finally have lost the battle. I had taken the last Sgt. test and had scored well. Based on historical numbers of promotions I would eventually of been made Sgt. I had put the time and effort in to earning my score and when I recieved the results I was proud of my score. I as a male white have a very slim chance to be made merit. The merit picks seem to go to politcal, genetic, or the new bosses "girlfriend". This is why we as a Department are sinking. I do not care what you are as long as you are qualified to do the job, God bless you. THE BEST QUALIFIED FOR THE JOB. PERIOD. We call aour selves a para military organization? Ha!! The military does not promote based on political or genetic lines, people get killed or maimed if the wrong decision is made. The samething applies here in our department. We need leaders, not political hacks. There are some leaders and they are far and few between. Finally, think on this, if you had to have a heart transplant operation do you want the the guy who studied hard and placed very high on the test or do you want the person who was made a heart surgeon to fill the quota. If you answer honestly there is no debate. Apply the same line of reasoning to this Department and our testing process and you will be amazed at the outcome. signed one of the good 'ole boys
We have that many PO's Sgt's and LT's. Where did they get the numbers from? It must be from what we are budgeted for not what there really is because the numbers are much smaller.
You have to catch the Tribune article. Much more truthful!
Cabrini store's time running out
People here know it as "the 2 o'clock store." There's no sign or flashing lights on the outside. There aren't even any windows. The building with the torn siding slouches in a weedy lot.
Regulars often arrive bleary-eyed and slurring, digging deep into pockets to pay for bargain liquor, rolling papers and cigarettes.
"Give me an RC pop and a bag of skins and a pint of R&R and a 3 Musketeers," said a man in a dark, billowy coat who moved with a slight limp.
For more than 30 years, the unadorned shop at 956 N. Larrabee St. in Cabrini-Green has been a go-to place for bread, cheap booze and beer.

Man, they are going to catch shit for this one!
That would mean that 10% of the male cops should be homosexual to reflect the city's homosexual community. Thank God we have TRU, I think we have that one covered!
Does the department also have to representive of the high number of racist white males in this city? Or how about the department have the same number of crack pipe smokers the city has or the same number of convicted child molsters too?
Give me a fricken break! Be careful for what you ask for!
Make the police test available on line at the county jail and the state prisons, this way we can get the pool of people we need!
I know this department does have a fair reflective numbers of fat irish men with small wee-wee's on the job. So no worries there.
Gimme a fook'n break!! If anything,
the modern CPD and its intergration
process of the last 25 years(women,
minorities, etc)has proven that women, minorities, etc when cornered and scared,make the same
"perceived" mistakes as the so called typical bigoted white male.
It hasnt been an all-white male PD
for a long time;another case of the media creating a story where there is no story to report!!

Think about the number of over represented officers becoming unemployed in order to bring the dept and city on par. On the other hand, where are you going to find the under represented candidates who have the minimum requirements.

My life is dedicated to watching yours go down the toilet. Is your house paid for?
So, does this mean that the aldercreatures want to ensure that the percentage of cops committing crimes equals the percentage of the city's residents committing crimes?
That sounds like a plan.
Will the aldercreatures allow themselves, and their co-conspirators, to be included in the inventory?
They're probably butt-sore over the lack of criminals in the CPD, at least below the rank of Lieutenant.
I think that the racial make-up of the CTA does not accurately reflect the population of the city of Chicago. I think the racial make-up of the NBA has racial bias against hispanics. Lets force more qualified African Americans to take this job (at gunpoint if need be). We cannot allow Obama become President because he doesn't represent (racially) the majority of Americans, etc.
Hope he throws out all the tests that were developed to help "minorities" get into these jobs. I will be suing for reverse discrimination.
Dats rite!Hire more dog-asses!
Hey Revs , Just because your black , brown , red or yellow. Lets promote you even though your not qualified and your a dumb ass. BULLFUCKIN'SHIT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jody , if you fall for that you will bring the morale down to a new low. God save the CPD >
Everyone knew this was coming. What a joke but these clowns know that it is all about "clout". Look at some of the new exempts- white males who were merit promoted all the way. They want a bigger slice of the pie.
It wasn't a bad article. The City does need to hire more black Police applicants. Problem is, unfortunately, that some simply can't pass a thorough background check. The psychological also weeds out a large number of black and latino males, although the reason why that happens isn't really clear. As more minority males obtain arrest histories at a younger age, it will adversely affect their availability to pursue certain occupations. Black parents need to be aware of this, and work harder to keep their kids away from people and activities that will result in certain types of arrests which will automatically exclude them from pursuing certain occupations. And before anyone jumps on what I've posted, I am a black PO and a parent.
In 1985 over thirty thousand persons took the test. The last couple of years they get what, maybe...2000. The city makes a special effort to recruit minorities...remember the reverends and churches....As far as I can tell if you take the test, and pass the requirements you will be hired...no matter what your race creed or color. The Sun-Times is WAY off here. Will the city call them on it. This is what happened in the early 1980's and thru the 90's, it was called affirmative action. Alot of you cry babies don't remeber that term, because you were in gym class, running around with a hard on. So let me explain it to you. The classe had to be equal white/minority and gender. How did they do that....they would fill the first 33% of white males off the highest scores...then they would reach down to whatever number necesssary to fill the rest, passing up persons who had higher scores, all in the name of "Affirmative AcTION. SO THAT IS WHY Officers LIKE ME HAD TO WAIT UNTIL THE LAST CLASS OF THE 1985 test to be hired, when others in my class scored at least 25 to 30 points lower than I did. They had to give a new test, becuase they were so low for minorities they new it wouldn't work. Affirmative action finally ruled illegal...but then again the tests are racially biased. As Lee Elia said, "MY FUC$$ING AS$"
That would mean that 10% of the male cops should be homosexual to reflect the city's homosexual community. Thank God we have TRU, I think we have that one covered!
$$$$$$$$$$$
I am laughing my A$$ off. Now that's the type of humor that belongs on this site.

Good Luck Bitch, That was tried 30 years ago by P.O.'s alot more worthy than your sorry ass & it was supsequently shot down by Prentiss Marshall. Shit in one hand& wish in the other...
HAPPY EASTER!!!
Fran misssed her chance to expose the bullshit. When it comes to rank, clout knows no color.
If they would only give the black folks the answers to the tests then they might get promoted and accurately reflect the community. But what do they do about them gun and dope pinches? A cultural thing I guess.
When all groups get the same test and the same orders and the same amount of time to take the damn test, how the hell is it racist if one or more group consistently does shitty on those tests?
Slow news day, got to print something. Why not the headline, "Minorities fail to make the grade once more and must be graded on the curve to get promoted"
Jody says, "work hard, do your job and get ahead on this job."
I've been doing that for 25 years but got "normalized" out of previous promotional tests in favor of dumber-than-a-box-of-rocks-minorities so as to more accurately reflect the community. Why not make pimps, dope slingers and stick up men the police then? Oh, I forgot, they already do that.
.
Jeez, I wish the goddamn Postal Service would more accurately reflect my community. Then I might get my mail regularly.
I remeber sitting in class at the academy(back row of course) and looking around. To the left 1/3 white. In the middle 1/3 hispanic. To the right 1/3 black. 1/3 Females mixed in as well. It can't be a concidence that it was perfectly proportioned.
(If "whitey" is the minority why do we still bus minorities into white neighborhood schools.)
I was just notified by the cps that my white kid and all his white classmates will now be bused to englewood.
TO: j-fed is going to run this department into the ground. you think things are bad now, just wait-- stay away from this guy, he is NO GOOD-- repeat NO GOOD-- hey jagoff- go back to philly-- no one is going to do anything for you-- no one is showing up at st judes either-- me and my fellow officers are doing a private party to honor our fallen brothers. i will never march in front of you in uniform. NEVER---
*** What is wrong with you people? St Judes is about the familys of fallen PO's, sure the bosses have tried to make it " more of my people show than yours- " contest but fu*k them... look at those familys, kids and partners holding up pictures of fathers, sones , husbands and partners....SALUTE THEM!! if you dont care for Jodi or the brass look the other way.... buy dont deny those who lost everything this one samll show of support... we never forget our own!... this is not about us and administration - Its about RESPECT! .... no wonder this job has gotten so screwed up!
A few people made some valid points. I will say this and if you think its racist so be it. The Black community especialy males like to smoke that "stinky green" to much. Marijuana use is what disqualifies them from the job, not their IQ.
I have overhead on numerous occasions black police officers screaming at their kids about smoking weed. I can't count how many black officers on this job who would like to see cannabis legalized.
Parents of all colors, etc, etc, need to explain to their children that there are consequences for your actions when your younger.
Its my two cents, you can take it anyway way you like.
What a joke.I remember when I came on the job in the early 70's they tried several remedies to "boost" the minorities,the best was a dicks exam with only your social security number as identifier,they still had to throw it out because too many of us typical white guys passed and not enough unqualafides.
As stated before, when a person is in need of serious police service, ems, or any other public safety function, they are gonna want the best. Who wants the guy/gal who got their job 'cuz they're black/white/hispanic/etc.
This is a sad reflection of the CPD.
Jody is bowing to these liberals.
"Earn it keep it."
Corey Flagg get the job 'cuz he's black? Maybe.
Quotas suck.
Take test, pass, get job, get promoted.
Who the fuck cares what these bums think. I'll make the tax payers of chicago an incredible deal. I've been on 9yrs, all on the street. I have zero clout, dont know any bosses dont care to. I've made many arrests and received many many cr's and could care less about awards. Make me superintendant at my current p.o. salary and the first day I'll call a press conf. to inform all the revs, alderfucks, liberals, and link card do-nothing welfare motherfuckers that its time for change alright, so they can go fuck themselves. Hell, I'll guarantee morale would be through the roof in under a week.
O no you didn't! You know what's a inpropriety of race is the fact that 99% of the traffic aides, lockup keepers,etc are minorities. What about this racist shit???
Yes..we want the same in the NBA, too
In 1985 over thirty thousand persons took the test..........
In 1991 over 40,000.
Again, the city stated the applicants would be hired based on their test scores.
Highly Qualified
Qualified
Not Qualified
Well, the Highly Qualified consisted of about 5,000.
More than enough to last until the next test.
QUESS WHAT ? ?
Not enough minorities.
Rules changed. Highly Qualified and Qualified mixed together and used lottery system.
Out of a possible 126 points:
100-126 Highly Qualified
74-100 Qualified
Now tell me how a guy who scores 75 should be hired before 115??
Minorites? Some.
Wonder what PacMan, Flagg, and all other criminals scored?
Jody, keep up the BS quotas, you'll need to.
Ever since the remarkable social engineer Hubert H Humphrey made the famous speech on the floor of the U.S Senate in support of the landmark 1964 civil rights act and stated that this act does not mean quotas, we have had quotas, race-norming, affirmative action, banding, merit, clout. They all mean the same thing----we will not promote you on an objective format.
I am white and have been bypassed by whites, blacks, hispanics, women, and probably gay eskimos.
The names have changed, the faces have changed but the game remains the same.
Ask the old (insert race) guy working the beat car about merit and they all say the same thing, It doesn't help whites, blacks, hispanics etc.. it only helps those that get promoted who happen to be a smaller piece of the total group.
Cline promoted his driver, secretary, office staff, etc different races and genders involved but the trait remains the same it was who you know not what you know.
If you think that this jerkoff Fed is going to change that, head right down to 35th St you have just been called for the random drug test.
Regardless of skin color, if they're too fucking stupid to pass a 6th grade entrance exam, or are too fucking stupid to get the required fucking credit hours to get the job, then who gives a fuck about 'em. Fuck the ignorant west side revs who think the police department should be staffed and commanded by anyone too fucking stupid to get the college or too fucking stupid to pass the tests.
We have enough stupid motherfuckers clouted onto this job who are doing a fine job fucking things up because of their color or race, fuck the revs for their opinion on trying to fuck up this department more by forcing the uneducated into this job.
If they can't pass, fuck 'em.
Um maybe if the brothas actually WANTED to work in the ghettos, they would have more BLACK police. But they tend to flock to the white areas and go on midnights, i.e. 022! Its quiet and there isnt a lot to do. You wont get a brotha being the police in the ghetto too often, it happens but its rare. They, like US, dont want to be there. Im all for taking the white police away, lets see how many homicides we can get this yr. WOOHOO, I hope we brreak the record!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU can go online and become a "reverend" in about 10 min. i suggest all white police do this and get it on our DL's, its all legit supposedly. Then we can make a stink about how the white folks dont get ANY police service at all. When was last time u saw a beat car in white middle class area of Chicago? UM it doesnt happen, all police are sent to the ghettos to appease the brothers but still they cant behave
"when i look around the room at rollcall".
try looking around HQ or any dist. office and you will see the reverse.
80% women with minorities heavily represented.
seems a lot of people who take the test have no intention of being the police.
Its the Sun Times remember. They are just digging for something negative on the police because they can't get anything else.
There have been 3(?) police related shootings in the past couple of weeks and they haven't been given dick for info regarding them thanks to new policies at IPRA.
Ahhh the system works!
The entire premise of the article is wrong. That somehow if the racial make up the police department matches the racial makeup of the city that somehow the non-white citizens will feel less under seige.
Guess what you can make the department all black or white tommorrow, the police will still be the police and lock up the criminals.
Many of the disenfranchised will still go to jail, and still hate the police, and still feel under seige! Nothing will have changed.
THE REVERENDS WILL STILL MAKE EXCUSES TO JUSTIFY THEIR FLOCKS BAD BEHAVIOR AND PLAY THE BLAME GAME!
MUST EVERYTHING ALWAYS BE SOMEONE ELSE'S FAULT.
LOOK IN THE MIRROR FOLKS!
I have 15+ years on this dept,have always wanted to be the Police since I was lil tike,But in the past 2 years this constant police bashing is getting to me.I'd pull the plug today if I could.Todays paper is just another example of who' really running this city,THE REVS! This Dept is going to the dogs. 20 & out!!!!!!!!!!
I am all for diversity, as long as the hiring standards are not lowered for the minorities.

When I was in the military, 80% in my Unit were Caucasians and only 15% were African Americans. And that's almost the same percentage of the other Units / Department when we all got deployed in Somalia.
We, CPD military veterans, all knew that joining the military isn't that hard and you don't need a college diploma, but must be a high school graduate in order to be accepted. Yet, how come not too many African American are signing up? Is it because they don't believe in serving their country, no high school diploma, or they don't want to work at all? I believe that if you want something no matter what it is, you have to come and get it and earn it.
I also quickly realized that this Department (CPD) isn't para military. In the service you don't jump from being an E1 to E6 (military guys you knew what I mean about that pay grade) not unless you have a HIGHLY SPECIALIZED training and graduated from the military school. Promotion wise, this Department is a joke and shame on you all Political Clouts!
For all of the honest hard working PO's, continue what you're doing and you believe in. Always be safe and back up one another even if you don't like the PO sitting in the roll call room because that's how you get RESPECT !
Martin Luther King longed for a country were a child could be judged on the content of their character not the color of thier skin. NOT IN CHICAGO
Barack Obama is constently calling for the coming together of the races. NOT IN CHICAGO
The alledged Reverends in this city are nothing more than poverty pimps. Each of these fools has an agenda which dosen't help their communities. All they're looking for is the ability to line their own pockets.
WHORES - EVERY LAST ONE!!!!!
There is an axiom in Criminal Justice that is proving to be true here in Chicago. "Society gets the police force it deserves". I understand it more now then ever before.
Based on the revs thinking, the NBA and NFL are totally biased as to the majority of the nations population.
But that is ok as long as it favors the blacks
That is the total hypocrisy of this liberal nation
On one hand the athletes chosen are done so based on performance, the stereotype of the black being a better physical athletic speciman is widely accepted by the black community, it is always shone to be the hip cool athletic black man outdoing the bookworm white boy.
You see it in EVERY depiction of white men by blacks
So is it so strange that the white, unathletic bookworm would perform better on a promotional test?????
The blacks are so damn scared of the real world that white males live everyday...
That YOU are judged as an individual and also by the way you contribute to society as a lawabiding, respectful HUMAN BEING
THEY expect us to lay down our dreams and desires that WE work for everyday so THEY could just be handed them...due to some perverted sense of entitlement.
None of us on this job are so stupid and naive to think that the best of the best run this department, after all it is sort of a family business for lots of people...but we do want the chance to test and be promoted on the effort that we put into that test.
I DEMAND more white pro football players, baseball players, BASKETBALL players! It's o.k. for them to DEMAND when it benefits them. They DEMANDED more black coaches. Now they must at least get an interview. Why aren't there more white athletes? Simple because the owners want the best players. No matter what color they are. All the white politicians and such will keep kissing these fools asses and bowing to their demands. Why won't someone grow a set of balls and tell them to go fuck themselves? What do you lose? Really, what would the consequences be? NOTHING!
While we're at it....the N.B.A. is about 90% black, so only let the crowd be 10% white. And watch the N.B.A. collapse in about 2 weeks!
GO HAWKS!!!!!
Cline convened a committee to review hiring practices of CPD. He was shocked that the average wait to be hired was two years or longer. During that time, applicant’s lives were put on hold as they completed each step. Personnel division does not keep applicants informed. The psychological test is arbitrary, with no explanation of its results. If you fail, then reapply. Two years is too long. Other major departments process applicants at a faster rate and applicants know their status. Even applicants from outside the city must fly in several times to complete the process.
The result? We lose qualified applicants. College graduates and military veterans without jobs must wait two years before they are hired. Offering the test 4 times in one year was a disaster. When the 2006 test list is finished, when is the next test? It is possible to streamline the application process but does the city have a desire to change? The cadet program mentioned in the article is a disaster and ruled by clout. Same stuff, different names.
I know this department does have a fair reflective numbers of fat irish men with small wee-wee's on the job. So no worries there.
I thought you said you wouldn't tell, at least we represent the 10%together. Call me, i miss you.
The NBA picks the very best players and why shouldn't the police department pick the very best. Race should not be a factor for hiring anywhere. THE BEST QUALIFIED
Black parents need to be aware of this, and work harder to keep their kids away from people and activities that will result in certain types of arrests which will automatically exclude them from pursuing certain occupations. And before anyone jumps on what I've posted, I am a black PO and a parent.
3/23/2008 06:10:00 AM
Amen to this. Diversity is not the issue. Dissolution of the family has led to lower numbers of EVERY racial group being qualified for law enforcement. Note - just this year the world's greatest law enforcment agency in the world, the FBI, lowered their hiring requirements. That's why I left and came to the second greatest law enforcment agency in the world. Signed, Jody

The Irish curse! Angry inch! That is why most irish bosses are very crabby. No choice but to drink!
Maybe what should happen is move all the minorities out of 35th st, front offices, back rooms, etc and get them out on the street.Then when they start screaming tell them to talk to their reverend.Make anyone that is a minority go to the minority district so they reflect the area. Yeah thats the ticket, all of Dana's dollies and CW's 14 secretaries to the ghetto.
28.2 of Chicago are latinos.
What percent are citizens?
Should we hire the same percentage of illegal aliens we have in Chicago to the Police Dept?
There was just a article in the paper about 48.2% of Black Females have STDs. I sure hope the CPD doesn't try to reflect that percentage on the job!
I demand that 35.3% of African-American police officers take their job seriously and do what they signed on to do.
You CAN put another brother in the penetentiary.
Make that issue a part of the psych testing. I've known plenty of guys whose hiring was delayed for years because of some question on the psych test.
When African-Americans start doing what it takes to be a police officer they can hire all they want.
Before you guys start screaming that I'm a racist, I'm referring to a certain segment of the rank and file. I know a LOT of African-American officers that I'm proud to work side by side with but there is an inordinant amount of African-American officers who continue to keep ties to gangbangers and look the other way in an effort to "keep it real."
I couldn't even given you the number of times on this job that black citizens have attempted to turn down our services and "wanted" black cops to handle their call. Funny thing is that I really feel that I offered them professional, considerate and good police services.
Now I wonder what would be said to a white citizen that demanded that the black officers offering their services go away and have white officers handle their call.
I have a funny feeling that would not be tolerated.
I hope I get passed over for a promotion because Iam white. I hope, because I will file such a huge lawsuit, it will make Conartists jessie jacksons head spin. I dont care what color you are....the best qualified should rise to the top. I am so sick of listening to the African American community bitching they are owed something!! Do a good job and you will be noticed.
The U.S. National percentage of blacks is just under 14%.
I say just use that number and the Department is way above the percentage.
I live in Mt. Greenwood, My mailman, cable repairman, gas and electric meter readers, garbage men (private services due to being in a condo) and many others who service our neighborhood are BLACK. Should our community get together and demand these hard working people lose their job to reflect the population in Mt. Greenwood?
Give me a break. When it comes to employment, government handouts, freebies and other services the black community wants to be think as a group. But when it comes to how much crimes, shootings, rapes, robberies, drive-bys and drug sales, its DON'T LUMP US ALL TOGETHER.
I love the way its pick and choose for when to be called a community or group.
Last time I checked the CPD entrance exam was fair to all. You want more of your race on the job, don't come bitching to the department, go find young good men to take the test and become cops.
GOD FORBID LET THE BEST MAN WIN!
1+1=2 no matter WHAT race you are. If someone else gets a better score on a test TO BAD!
As Obama's preacher would say:
Too many crackers on the job, lets get us a "Chocolate Department"!
I think our arrests should reflect the population of Chicago. If you lock up a black, you should be forced then not to lock up another black till you have a Asian, White and Hispanic arrest. Seems only fair.
How bout Duh City buys 956 N larabee and turns it into a govment regulated 'vice' zone...Duh City could eliminate all laws prohibiting the consumer demanded 'vices', ie., gambling, prostitution and controlled substances, and regulate and tax same? The Scum-Times can dude an aricle on that...
2 points: 1. you cant force people of whatever race to take a job if they dont want it. 2. i look around roll call everyday and its 95 percent white and hispanic males..hey if thats who wants the job great i love the guys on my watch i know they have my back and i have theres and thats all that matters

u must work days on the north side!!! i ve worked midnights on the south side and the minority is white.
I think this is the post of the week. It had us all cracking up at our district! Whomever posted it, you one funny son-of-a-Hillary!

Happy Easter to everyone!! b safe
An if the 'vice' zone works at 956 larabee, Duh City can expand the program to offer up minority run franchizes in Mt. Greenwood, Garcia Ridge and Edison Park...any thoughts?
I am 1/5th White, 1/5th Black, 1/5th Hispanic, 1/5th Indian and 1/5th Eskimo. I think their should more of my racial make-up on this job! A matter of fact I demand it.
I don't care what color you hire just HIRE some!!!!
your never going to please everyone jfed so stop trying....
This is prolly the reason why I got turned down by CPD recently. I am white.
Didnt Martin Luther King say dont judge by race but by merit..??
- It seems these ministers dont really respect the word of Dr King. Its rather sad.
If the police department would reflect the percentages of bullshit store front churches, we could have a 10,000 police stations!
As a female I DEMAND that the department hire more females...I don't care if they are qualified or not...just hire them! I know there are more women in this city then the percentage on the department....damn ol' boys club!

This is an absolute insult to ALL of us hard working coppers. What the media doesn't understand is that ALL coppers are BLUE. The offenders do not see colors or sex all they see are police doing the job. Now as far as making more minorites to reflect the racial balace of the the city, I say do this and you will finally have lost the battle. I had taken the last Sgt. test and had scored well. Based on historical numbers of promotions I would eventually of been made Sgt. I had put the time and effort in to earning my score and when I recieved the results I was proud of my score. I as a male white have a very slim chance to be made merit. The merit picks seem to go to politcal, genetic, or the new bosses "girlfriend". This is why we as a Department are sinking. I do not care what you are as long as you are qualified to do the job, God bless you. THE BEST QUALIFIED FOR THE JOB. PERIOD. We call aour selves a para military organization? Ha!! The military does not promote based on political or genetic lines, people get killed or maimed if the wrong decision is made. The samething applies here in our department. We need leaders, not political hacks. There are some leaders and they are far and few between. Finally, think on this, if you had to have a heart transplant operation do you want the the guy who studied hard and placed very high on the test or do you want the person who was made a heart surgeon to fill the quota. If you answer honestly there is no debate. Apply the same line of reasoning to this Department and our testing process and you will be amazed at the outcome. signed one of the good 'ole boys

What you said sounds nice, but lets be real for a moment. You read this blog like many others. One thing is clear, we are not all blue! There are white officers and then there is everyone else. Disagree? read some of the RACIST comments these idiots that call themselves Police post. The biggest joke is that people make racist statements on the net then stand next to you at roll call, and say they serve the city without bias.
I think that the racial make-up of the CTA does not accurately reflect the population of the city of Chicago. I think the racial make-up of the NBA has racial bias against hispanics. Lets force more qualified African Americans to take this job (at gunpoint if need be). We cannot allow Obama become President because he doesn't represent (racially) the majority of Americans,etc.
ANd the Post Office,when was the last time you saw a white Postal worker?go to any Post Office and The Lines Are looong because of all the dogs that work there,evryone knows that the CTA and the Post Office are Chocolate City
"Cauc-Asian..."
That's hilarious. That explains why certain media people exclude Asian Americans when they are talking about minority issues. Haha, thanks for the elucidation.
Here's the kicker, Even if they were able to get the numbers to conform to the population statistics, we still have a contact that enables officers to bid on were they want to work!
It's all about residency and College requirements. Lift both and you'll have a more diverse pool of candidates.
On the other hand, I think I can wear my uniform pants off my ass, fill my pockets with rubbers and answer all questions with a "Huh-who me"? That way I can reflect the communities I have to serve. Wait a minute...There are other coppers who already beat me to it.
I don't see one albino in that photo! Albinos unite! The man intentionally gives the test on very sunny days so that we cannot take it. All testing from now on should be given at midnight along with night classes at the academy. Albinos should have first choice of working the 1st watch and special CPD hoods should be provided to protect us during the morning hours.

They make it sound like a bad thing that the area is coming up and that we should be sad that this store along with it's previous customers are disappearing. This store sounds like every other food/liquor store on the westside. Bulletproof glass, junkfood, cheap liquor and a line of bustouts waiting with link cards in hand. You would have to really love money to open up a store in these areas.
Study for the test and have it graded as you leave the building.... We don't need any more incompetent bosses. If this was a private company it would of gone out of business along time ago. A private company wants the best and brightest running the show, take a clue from them.

Socialism benefits only those in power as it loots the country. A vote for the Democrats is a vote for keeping black people poor.
We lost over 300 to retirement this year and did not hire recruits so how can the numbers be the same? Bullshit. This hiring freeze will cost the department for years to come. We might not have a recruit class on the street befor xmas. Reduce the force by 600 in one year but keep claiming 13, 500 street officers? WTF!
They're probably butt-sore over the lack of criminals in the CPD, at least below the rank of Lieutenant.
3/23/2008 03:19:00 AM
Trust me, there is absolutely no shortage of criminals in the CPD at ANY rank!
Maby if "da REV-e-runs" would stop the anti police bullshit at the racist sermons they preach, you think it might be easier to recruit from the inner city?
I think its going to get real "fun" around here in the next few years. Let's see if the Supt. actually falls for this bullshit?
Thats just silly. Do your job good and you should be rewarded for that, not because of any other reason.
*SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL WHITE BOY*
Once while working tact, I found a gun in the park and did a weapons turn-in....a meritorious black SGT gave me a direct order to make it a UUW...review kicked it back...he went and ordered review to accept it...true story.
I had another meritotious black SGT, tell me it was illegal to order the passengers of a traffic stop out of the vehicle...thats not what the Supreme Court says..
There currently is a black FTO in my district who routinely chides recruits for running plates without probable cause...are you kidding me!!!
A black meritorious LT, would not approve my arrest report of PSMV, because I did a random plate check...he lectured me on how random stops were illegal...yes I know this...random plate checks are a whole different story and perfectly legal..
if you can't read or write you shoudn't be promoted...regardless of the color your skin
I have a problem with this made up number:
CHICAGO POLICE DEPARTMENT BY RACE AND RANK:

Off topic but the dui strike force will be in 016 march 28th for you north siders
Look for Jody WeeWee to set up recruiting desks at Cook County jail..Those blacks with felonies over 1 year old will be eligible for and wanted on the force
Daley just wants the white POs to pay his 10.25 % sales tax,ripoff property taxes etc.
Newark we a comin!!!
I remember when reverends spoke of saving your souls and of God. When the fuck did we let them dictate how to run the city? Shame on us for letting them become some sort voice for the city. They certainly are not my voice. I am a minority officer and ask for a fair shot at the promotional exams. Nothing more and nothing less. If I cannot pass on my own I cannot cry and blame anyone but myself. I have successfully passed several exams on score. That being said, anyone who thinks that merit is for minority officers needs to check the history and see that very few over all have been made that way when you count total numbers. I cannot wait for retirement. Back to the reverends,,,,,I cannot wait until retirement,,,I may never step foot in this city again.
Did any of the Reverends order their constituents to stop dealing drugs, gang banging, and all the other sins being committed by their community?
You have to have a clean (not squeeky clean) record to be the police and be able to sorta read and write.
Fire half the white cops on the job, hire and promote black applicants and police and you'll have your magic number.
Now that the magic number has been attained, who is going to do the job?
I thought our mission was the preservation of life and protection of property? What about Dr. King's dream of little black children and white children playing together as equals? I guess the kids can play, but when they grow up, it's an numbers game.
The reverends and all their ilk will remain victims forever, or until they take their heads out of their asses.

It's predominantly the asinine prohibitionary laws, designed primarily to artificially increase the values of the consumer desired products prohibited and to impose the moral perspective of a hypocritical segment of the population upon those less hypocritical individuals who desire to use their freedoms to partake of said desired, but prohibited by law, products, that is responsible for so many individuals having criminal records.
When our children routinely see the adults of this world boozing it up, they naturally do not place much value on the moronic and blatantly hypocritical advice of 'just say no' to the use of those products they believe are substantially no different than booze.
When our children routinely see the adults of this world popping pills into their pie holes, buying into the propagandas of the 'take a pill and you'll feel better' pharmaceutical industry, what can any reasonable adult expect our children to think, when we tell them the 'do as I say, and not as I do' bullshit that we, as children, rarely paid much attention to?
Add to the desire to partake, the artificially inflated value of said products, and you have created the environment for much natural criminal activity.
Add to that, the less than encouraging economic realities of being young and black, and you can see that the challenges facing black youth parallel those of any group of lost, clueless and less thoughtful individuals, bereft of the strong guidance of group wisdom and respect for that wisdom.
Add to that, the misguided and miscreant nonsense, laced with undeniable truths, but tainted by undeniable lies, that black youth are exposed to 24/7/52. and it's not surprising that there are more blacks with criminal records than there are without same.
Regardless of the perceived, or real, obstacles impeding the progress of blacks, and other 'minorities', the 'bootstrap' theory often quoted by the advantaged still applies to real life.
The real solution to the problems blacks experience is that blacks must help each other, primarily by NOT hurting each other, by NOT stealing from each other, by NOT exploiting each other, by NOT remaining willfully ignorant of the things that whites, and others, know they cannot remain willfully ignorant of, and still earn a decent living in this world.
Blacks are already perceived by whites as being lazy, ignorant, immoral, violent, contemptuous, malicious, dangerous and untrustworthy, however unfair and untrue these perceptions may be concerning most blacks, there is no sense in reinforcing these stereotypes by living down to them.
Why do you think the races choose to separate themselves, in where they live, in whom they choose to associate with, in whom they choose to hire, if not for the above, perceived stereotypes?
Whites see these defects in others of their own race, and of other races, and react in a similar manner.
Nobody, of whatever race, culture or ethnicity, wants to be exposed to being robbed, raped, assaulted, injured or murdered.
When blacks see fit to impose the same standards upon themselves as they want others to impose upon themselves, those standards being, at least, the minimum of respect for the rights of others, then, and only then, will blacks finally begin to achieve what they claim they want to achieve.
13,516
Patrol officers: 54 percent white; 25 percent black; 17.7 percent Hispanic
-----------------------------------
Try like closer to 9,000 PO's. Why the idiots in the media buy this BS saying we have over 13,500 is beyond me.
Don't believe me? Ask anyone in finance how many checks are cut on payday.
Maybe if black people weren't committing the majority of crimes there would be more qualified blacks out there. But until then, they can become revs with the "GIVE ME" attitudes.
Here is a thought trying earning something. You complainers are a disgrace to black people that earn something.
These reverands have some balls.
Become a reverand yourself for free on the internet to counter their bullshit if you ever encounter one.
Oh Reverand Hatch, just so happens I am a reverand too, now go fuck yourself you racist prick!
ok now that you made me go to the scum times web site im wondering why the firefighter charged with soliciting a minor on the net wasnt on the front page...i mean shiiiiiiiiit if that was a poleece that would be front page for a week
Ald. Toni Preckwinkle (4th) added: "It's important to have diversity at the entry levels of the department and diversity all the way up through the ranks. The message has to be that merit will be rewarded and that merit is unrelated to race."
Merit promotions are ONLY related to race.
Tests are biased to the smarter people. DUH!!!!!!!!!!
Educate yourself!!! Quit complaining. Its free anyways. If not there is always the job as job security for the men in blue.
13,516? WTF How did the scum times come up with this number?
I sent fran an email,looking forward to the response.
IF the community only want black PO's, then why is it regularly in the southside residents tell me they don't want to talk to the black PO, they want a white PO?
I demand Daley and Weiss as my bosses to IMMEDIATELY denounce this racist article now!
I am waiting.
One of Stroger's relatives???

A woman who works for the Cook County medical examiner's office has been charged with stealing a diamond ring and diamond earrings from the body of a Berwyn woman.
Yolanda Harrington, 42, of the 1100 block of West 112th Place, appeared in Bond Court on Saturday on felony theft charges. Judge Raymond Myles ordered her held on $5,000 bail.
Harrington, who worked for the medical examiner's office as an autopsy technician for about 3 ½ months, was arrested Friday, Cook County Assistant State's Atty. Michael Hogan said.
Glad I'm getting out soon, over 3 decades of this reverse-discrimination Bullshit. All you reverends and politicians can go Fuck yourselves.
I love how the big words on the front page say DO THE MATH.
Why don't we do the math on merit promotions? Oh wait, that won't sell papers.
Why is it the police department has to go to any special effort to recruit a specific race?
Let's go to Chinatown next and spend millions to recruit a race that doesn't want this job either!
Next, to Boystown! Yes, we need more gay officers!
After that, a rehab center! We need more disabled officers!
When does it end?
Let whoever wants this job sign up and take it. End of story.
we need to hire more IRISH COPS TOO. AS WE R ALSO BECOMING A MINORITY. GOD SAVE IRELAND
Well, as you remeber the minority alderman screamed that they wanted a black superindentant when Hillard was in the running for that job, due to there reasoning that since African Americans were responsible for 90 percent of the crime in Chicago, maybe we should reward them with 90 percent of the jobs going to blacks it only makes sense.

OFF TOPIC- but very important Talked to realtor today, I'm retiring in less than 30 days. Suggested selling of 189,000.00 for 2 bedroom Mt Greenwood, full finished basement (very nice w/extra bedroom but they don't count it) brick with all the fancy extra extas. west end, close to Pulaski. I pd 210,000.00 5yrs ago because my spouse wanted the driveway instead of the dining room!! STUPID ME! I'm going to try selling it myself but the realtor said good luck, you and 200 others.

Hate to tell you, but if you get an offer at 185 you should take it and run. Don't wait for the next offer, it won't be higher. Take a pinch out of your deferred comp and pay the rest off.
Take for instance 1092x S Millard Ave, it went thru foreclosure and the bank took it back. It was bought in 1998 for $116,000! Your $185,000 sounds pretty good now huh?
MINORITIES ALWAYS SET THEIR GOALS AT THE LOWEST SPECTRUM. WHY NOT GET AN EDUCATION AND GET A REAL JOB YOU KNOW LIKE A DOCTOR,LAWYER,PROFESSIONAL MIMISTER(JACKSON-PFLEDGER-MEEKS). LEAVE THE JOB OF BEING THE POLICE TO US IRISH AND OTHER EUROPEANS
Don't let that race-baiting rag get you all upset.
This is a headline that has run in the Scumtimes every year since the 70's.
The days of affirmative action and race norming are at the end. The next Supreme Court Case regarding this issue will put it away permanently.
This article is a dying breath to bring back the days when the city illegally promoted blacks to gain political favor.
The real news in this story is the dramatic decline in the city's black population over the past 15 years. In 10 more years, the black population will dip below 25%.
Don't you guys get it yet?
Democrats cannot empower themselves without victims of racism to vote for them.
This is more prima facie evidence that the city and country is racist because there are not as many black officers as there are white officers. Let's all ignore the fact that the are unequal numbers in the population; that doesn't matter.
What does matter is perpetuating the myths that keep liberals in power, such as all white people are racist, all police officers hate black people, and the disparity in sentencing and in the prison population is caused by a racist agenda.
If you look at democrats and their agendas, would there really be any other reason to vote for them other than the promise or perception that they would protect your personal interests if elected?
No.
This article is a bold face attack by the reverends who are trying to divide white and black police officers with the hope of weakening the police force.
It is actually more of an insult to black police officers.
The reverends come right out and say that black officers will never perform well enough on permotional tests, so the only way they can get promoted is through race norming. The reverends' subtle underlying message is that the city needs more "minority" officers because they will not uphold the law as strictly as their white counterparts.
Total racist garbage and an insult to every hardworking police officer on this department.
Read the comments at the end of this story posted on the Scumtimes web site.
Population wrong, percentages don't add up, the reverends control the paper...
Every comment slams the article as garbage.
I'm not on the job but even I know that if they wanted there are districts that if they went to there would be a vastly different looking make-up of the color of the police in that picture.
The force should represent the make-up of the city population. And after they acheive that. Maybe what they can do is have all the white officers work in the white areas of the city. The blacks work in the black areas and the hispanics work in the hispanic areas.
I bet the Revs would change their way of thinking then.
Who would respond to their calls for help.
And if you think the Sun Times' reporters reflect the racial make-up of the city, you better think again!
The Sun Times is a pandering hypocrite!
Jody had a chance to "meet the numbers" with his sweeping number of exempt changes. Guess he failed the "race test" by the numbers. Fire him!
Get rid of merit, make "diversity picks" based upon the test scores. Need a female hispanic, go down the list to the next female hispanic and take her. Make it so you have to take both parts of the exam, and still try to score well. I am tired of number 3,845 getting promoted because they can polish the knob like no other one can. If merit is used for diversity, then treat it as such. Release the criteria for promotion if it is truly merit. Jody, we are tired of the nonsense.
The 1st black PO was hired in 1872. I found this on wikpedia a year or so ago. I remember they also noted CPD had the 1st black Captain in the country. I tried looking it up again and the page has been changed and is loaded with abatte,sos,burge etc. If you want the CPD to end up like the CHA, USPS, CTA, or CPS then bow to the fake Rev.'s. Cook County has the largest black population in the country. They have Stroger, don't let them cry poor.

These preachers demanding action, aren't they the same preachers with ALL BLACK CHURCH USHERS, ALL BLACK CHURCH EMPLOYEES, ALL BLACK PARISHINERS?
Didn't they read the writings of the Lord that stated, Don't throw stones in glass houses?
Again the double standard, what's good for them is not to be applied to others.
Wait till they hear that all CPD Canine Dogs are MALE! The women groups are going to be so pissed off! I demand a female dog with every male dog! And I am sure the dogs do too!
Man, I knew these "ministers" were out of touch with reality but I didn't know how much!
That article definitely shows that the whole attitude is, "It's not our fault." and "What are you going to do for us?" Also, "We never do anything wrong!"
I say deal... but only after Minister Louis Farrakhan's FOI Security People reflect the population of Chicago, including Jewish people!
I don't see these same people demanding anything from their own groups. I think the white people should be called "soggy crackers" because they don't seem to stand up or bring up anything others do wrong!
The day a white gal wins the MISS BLACK AMERICA CONTEST, I will agree to these requests!
Can't we just put 22 inch rims on our squad cars and DUB them out and allow bad pounding rap music blair from our P.A. speaker and call it even? I see a compromise here!
Make L.I.N.K. cards OK to use as a Drivers License. That will keep many quiet for a while.
I think if you make squad cars with a broken vent window, ignitions that start with a screw driver and allow officers to put all their dirty clothes in the trunk, it might allow more people to take the police test.
Start a CPD Basketball team. Our hiring stats will no longer haunt us!
As I told one black guy bitching about low black diversity, "I noticed all your children are black, I think diversity should start at home." That was the end of the subject!
J-Fed has started OPERATION BLACK SHOE POLISH. He is asking for white male volunteers to come forward.
God forbid you study hard for promotional tests and get promoted the legit way. Of course if that's not what happens the test is obviously biased.
By the way, should white people commit more crime to reflect the racial make-up of the city? We don't do NEAR enough!
one color on this job, BLUE.
Attention White Cops:
The anti-police black "reverends" hate your white guts. They are putting the decent people of their neighborhoods in danger by supporting the law breakers.
If you work in a district that calls home to these fools' "churches" as of now STOP DOING ANY PROACTIVE WORK!
If they don't want you there do not be there. Show these bastard "reverends" that your hard work up untill now was fruitful for the well being of their congragants.
If they want to smoke crack, let them smoke crack. They want to kill each other, let them kill each other. How long will we get kicked around for THEIR problems??!!
Respond to your jobs and write paper if it needs be. But that is it. Tell your check off sgt that untill the brass stands up for the officers that THEY hired, then the "reverends" will get EXACTLY what they want.
As I read the Sun Times I came up with a solution to the hiring problem. Several years ago when the McPier was set to open Skimmy Sheehan, who was in charge, needed parking garage attendants and car hikers. He waited til the last minute.
ALong come several dudes who the administraters grabbed and asked if they would like jobs. They saw an opportunity and jumped at the chance. THey asked the new hirees if they had any friends who wanted jobs and of course their gangbanging friends also got employment. All hired with no backroud checks. A lot of money passed through the parking lot at the Pier.
Lo and behold several dudes appeared at the lot one night and releived they of $ 80,000 plus. THe employee/offenders were caught within 18-36 hrs. later, a lot of the money was recovered (about $75.000) and about $5,000 worth of gym shoes. Yes their first purchases with the ill gotten gains was gym shoes.
I say used Skinny SHeeham's method of hiring, boy would that be interesting.
As a lifelong chicago resident I'm apaled at the fact that the Chicago Bulls, a team that perports to represent The city of Chicago, is made up of 15 players 11 of which are African-American. According to my calculations that means 73.3% of the 15 person roster is african american. According to The chicago slum-times calculations 35.3% (or 5.295 players are allowed to be black) therefore I DEMAND that 9.7 white players be hired to replace 9.7 of the african-american players.
In order to do this the chicago police way, any white males interested in playing basketball should show up to the united center for tryouts. Dont worry, there will be ladders for slam dunking and baskets the size of 55 gallon drums for 3 pointers. The ability to dribble is a plus but manditory. (felony convictions a must)
As you can see, the bottom, line goal of winning has been replaced by a philosophy of diversity
ps: African-American players are encouraged try out also to replace the 5.29 African-american players who will eventually be promoted to assistant coach, coach and general manager well above their level of competence
What did 017 Tact do now??
ask kanye's mom about affirmitive action doctors ooops she is silent on the issue
the cta bus drivers should be represenitive of the city I have never seen a white one
Are there any ETHICAL reporters left? Is there a community leader in the city of Chicago that will stand up to big mouth political grand-standing idiots, trying to fan the flames of racism and speak of the public service that we do without a contract, with unfair promotions, unfairly targeted by the media, all while working six days in a row. And maybe ALL OF US, of every race, are sick to death of being used for the agendas of others. HEY, MEN OF THE CLOTH AND POLITICOS: Find a new trade to use. Get the plumbers union. How many minorities do they have? Whenever I call a plumber, the same old, fat, white guy with his butt crack peepin' thru his Carharts shows up! What's goin' on with that? And how come those St.Patricks Day Queens are always white? Those plumbers sponsor that too. 100% of the queens have been white! It's an outrage. Whats the % of black plumbers? They make way more money than cops.
Hire more qualified people. Race should not matter. Tell this racist pastor that whites are not bad.
Let me remind you what happens when unqualified people get made to rank positions only because of their color of their skin---remember the downtown building that was on fire where many people died from being stuck in the stairwell---all the confusion, the chaos, the lost of life, was because the "boss" on the scene had no clue!! How sad---life was lost because of the % promoted based on color not on ability----The City will pay big bucks for that one!! and rightfully so! Someones mother, father, sister or brother died because of merit promotions--How shameful!
holy cow bat man are you serious!
you are going to replace me with a spanish robin?

Same was case with ISP , I took test in 1982, first 3 classes were 1/3 white male,1/3 minority male and 1/3 female, I was in fourth class(last one) and we had only 5 minority males(had score of 69,68 you failed) , only 1 passed acaddemy and about 50 white males,(each had scores of 81 or 80) after that they had another testing group.

If you needed surgery to save your life, would you pick the surgon with the best record and from the best schools with the best grades, or would you pick the surgon from the just "ok" school with just "ok" grades who was excepted into this school because of their race?
remember the fire in the country bulidng 3 years ago? 6 people died, and the fire scene commander was a minority merit hack. Don't belive, ask a fireman, if you can wake one up.
tell the "minorities" to study hard like the rest of those that made it. i studied my ass off the test before the last. i missed getting promoted by 60 people. if they promoted like they did in the past i would of made it. some of those merit promotion to those that couldnt fine a criminal in prison took my spot possibly and others who studied hard. throw out the merit except for those who actually derserve. you get shot you get promoted. make an exceptional pince same goes. wasnt that what the merit process was for?
Well, it's time that the taxes expended by shitcago, crook county, and the peoples republic of illinois
are expended proportionally to those that pay them.
So this applies to the election of the President of the United States according to the west-side think tank.
WHY DOES THE CHICAGO POLICE DEPARTMENT HAVE TO CONFORM TO THIS BULLSHIT?? WHAT ABOUT CHICAGO FIRE DEPARTMENT? CHICAGO PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS? ALDERMAN? STREETS AND SANS? INSPECTORS? AND EVERY OTHER CITY DEPARTMENT?? FUCK J-FED!! FUCK THE MAYOR!! THEY ARE ALL SO FULL OF SHIT!!!
crimefiles (Paul Huebl) wrote about that Sun Times picture. He's right our officers look like shit.
I'd like to see 2nd watch officers clean up and wear field caps like the real police. We don't have to look like unmade beds all wearing something different.
Some our fools think they have style.
They lumped the dist. Com with other higher ups. I think there are more DC's of color than whites. Maybe I'm wrong.
A check of 2 different personnel databases show that there are 10,001 officers (code 9161) on the payroll as of 23Mar. But, according to the article, they say it's 13,516. That's a big difference of 3,515 officers. Imagine if we really had 3,516 extra officers that the City says we do!!!

OT.
Whether the St. Jude march is on Michigan Ave. or anywhere else, remember it is a tribute to our fallen Officers here and everywhere in the country. It is to show our unity for our brothers and sisters in blue who have given the ultimate sacrifice. I feel the St. Jude march shoud consist of Police Officers from every municipality in the state and even out of state. We are all family. Whether you work in a major city or small town, we all share the same danger every day. St. Jude is to honor our fallen comrades. Where it is held is not relevant. It is not a parade or a celebration. It is something we do to honor those who have died in the line of duty. It is a show of unity and remembering our fallen brothers and sisters. My only regret is there is not a major outpouring by more Officers from CPD to partake in this event. Most every cop has known someone personally or by passing that has been killed. I go every year because of this. It is to show respect for these officers and their families.
IF the community only want black PO's, then why is it regularly in the southside residents tell me they don't want to talk to the black PO, they want a white PO?
THE REVERENDS WANT THE BLACK PO'S...NOT THE COMMUNITY! I WORK IN 007 AND I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES I'VE HEARD FROM THE "COMMUNITY" THAT THEY ARE GLAD TO SEE WHITE POLICE BECAUSE THE "BLACK POLICE" ARE LAZY AND DON'T DO "THEY" JOB.
One thing I will say is this article should not put a wedge in the police department between the races of the police. We are all blue. That is the color we are whether we are black, white or hispanic. When all hell is breaking loose, do you care what color cop shows up for an assist. I know I don't. We all have prejudices, but as far as the job, there should be none. If certain people want the numbers closer to reflect the population, they need to take the associate degree requirent and drop it. But most of all the city should start treating police on the job with more respect and less negativity. Why do we only have 2000 people take the test anymore. Because with the press we get and how the city treats the police, who wants to come on this job anymore. There is no more camaraderie as it past years. Recruits are trained by people who have no clue. Recruits come out of the academy with no respect for seasoned officers or the public. They treat everyone like crap. Tha's why CR's are so high. One thing I learned early in my FTO training and in the academy is treat people like you want to be treated. No one deserves to be MF'ed for no reason. If you treat people with respect, most people will give the same respect back. Even a bum deserves respect. If they start MF'ing you then you can go off on them. But until then treat people with respect and do your job. Don't blow them off because you are too lazy to write a report. Your strongest weapon is your mouth. It can calm a situation that is heated or you can treat everybody like shit and fight with everyone you come in contact with.
Signed,
20 years and still love the job.
I know this department does have a fair reflective numbers of fat irish men with small wee-wee's on the job. So no worries there.

hahahahahahahahahahaha that was too funny thank you for that laugh. that really put a twist on all the racist asshole comments
Merit picks are done. New Sgts list due to be put up very shortly. Thanks for the hold up, hopefully we will get some halfway intelligent supervisors in the field. We really need them!
Yes..we want the same in the NBA, too

white men can't jump beyyyyoootcchhh
I am all for diversity, as long as the hiring standards are not lowered for the minorities.

Too late, it has already happened. This is why this department is f*cked beyond belief.
BTW, like another poster said about the CTA not representing the people of chicago; of all the years (9) working CTA special enjoyment, I have never seen a white bus driver or train engineer. WTF is up with that? Maybe Fran should investigate that.
3/23/2008 09:19:00 AM
ooohhhh so this is why the department is sooo fucked up. wow who ever would have thought. i just assumed it was because of the clout ass white muthafuckers like the clines and people like J. Burge you racists asshole.
as a young african american cop, the cpd is not the most appealing job to quiltified minorities ever heard the words "sell-out"
See what I'm talking about? What the fuck does that mean exactly? Sell Out. You mean that you'll have to enforce and obey the laws of a normal society?
Fucking SELL OUT. You are exactly the type of African-American P.O. that has destroyed this department. You have friends that think a black person that becomes apolice officer is a sell out?
GO FUCK YOURSELF and your "keepin' it real friends."
What's on tap tonight for you and your homies? Gonna check out some awful spoken word poetry crap, maybe a little jazz or a Hughes brothers flick?
Hope you're exposed for the racist jagoff that you are.
anybody think it's convenient timing,
coppers getting blasted on this issue when contracts are coming up? (in addition to promotions being held up)
A few people made some valid points. I will say this and if you think its racist so be it. The Black community especialy males like to smoke that "stinky green" to much. Marijuana use is what disqualifies them from the job, not their IQ.
I have overhead on numerous occasions black police officers screaming at their kids about smoking weed. I can't count how many black officers on this job who would like to see cannabis legalized.
Parents of all colors, etc, etc, need to explain to their children that there are consequences for your actions when your younger.
Its my two cents, you can take it anyway way you like.
3/23/2008 08:10:00 AM
now you do know that when you say the black community you are talking about all blacks even the ones on the job. hey you should frame your comment just in case you didn't think you are a racist, this could be a reminder for you asswipe!!
As I told one black guy bitching about low black diversity, "I noticed all your children are black, I think diversity should start at home." That was the end of the subject!
3/23/2008 04:21:00 PM
i wish you would have said that to me because i would have said let me borrow your wife/husband and i can change that
Who cares if someone is purple, yellow, orange, etc.? The best person should get the position, not based on quota fillers.
MINORITIES ALWAYS SET THEIR GOALS AT THE LOWEST SPECTRUM. WHY NOT GET AN EDUCATION AND GET A REAL JOB YOU KNOW LIKE A DOCTOR,LAWYER,PROFESSIONAL MIMISTER(JACKSON-PFLEDGER-MEEKS). LEAVE THE JOB OF BEING THE POLICE TO US IRISH AND OTHER EUROPEANS
3/23/2008 02:17:00 PM
oh oh oh oh i think i know why they won't apply probably so they won't have to slap a white racist ass fellow officer.
I don't see one albino in that photo! Albinos unite! The man intentionally gives the test on very sunny days so that we cannot take it. All testing from now on should be given at midnight along with night classes at the academy. Albinos should have first choice of working the 1st watch and special CPD hoods should be provided to protect us during the morning hours.
3/23/2008 12:00:00 PM
I worked a case with a dick from the north suburbs that was an albino. Nice enough guy, I think he said he lived in 016 or 017.
What you said sounds nice, but lets be real for a moment. You read this blog like many others. One thing is clear, we are not all blue! There are white officers and then there is everyone else. Disagree? read some of the RACIST comments these idiots that call themselves Police post. The biggest joke is that people make racist statements on the net then stand next to you at roll call, and say they serve the city without bias.
3/23/2008 11:36:00 AM
i swear i wish i could meet you and give you a hug for this comment. this is the truest thing i have ever read on this blog
I think our arrests should reflect the population of Chicago. If you lock up a black, you should be forced then not to lock up another black till you have a Asian, White and Hispanic arrest. Seems only fair.
3/23/2008 11:03:00 AM
hahahahaha i like that

True. The minority officers don't usually get the same opportunities in the district. They are often asked to settle for less and be happy about it.
Don't believe me? Ask anyone in finance how many checks are cut on payday.
3/23/2008 01:48:00 PM
Ok, now that's a bad argument. Probably 4-500 cut to the Duffs alone.
We mean people that actually show up.
Minorities have choices that they make as they grow up. If you choose to be a criminal to make a quick buck, then suffer the consequences!
After working in my old barrio, I had to transfer out because I kept locking up my former schoolyard buddies for felonies.
I don't care what color your skin is, PASS THE TEST!!

I wouldn't want to be a black PO, study my ass off, score high, get made, and for the rest of my career have everyone snickering and pointing behind my back calling me a merit-hack because some half-assed, two-bit reverands were alluding to the fact that black officers were not "as good" and needed special avenues to promotion.
