J-Fed, Where's Our Car?

And our rifles? And our new digital radios that have a battery that can hold a charge for more than six hours? And those computers for the cars?
  • Mayor Daley said Thursday's he's preparing yet another round of mid-year budget cuts -- on top of the $20 million he has already slashed -- because of sagging revenues tied to the economic downturn.
  • Daley ordered a citywide hiring freeze, slashed overtime and ordered a 3 percent cut in non-personnel spending, including Police and Fire departments that had previously been "sacred cows." He warned that city services would suffer and that layoffs could follow.
Yeah, we'll be seeing all sorts of goodies any day now, including a contract.

WOW, shootings and murders are going through the roof and this idiot mayor wants the police to cut 3% of our budget. He's out of his mind. He should get rid of all the do nothing's in city hall first then work from there. But i'm sure the alderman are going to give themselves a nice big raise again this year.

Well i thought i'd seen it all, but this is got to be the topper. Today i saw 6 TRU cars go into a store and linger around forever and then one guy buys a bag of chips and PURPOSELY goes in the longest line to take up MORE time.
So they're all just waiting in line to buy just one bag of chips and when the guy pays with his credit card, he asks the others if they want to be on the paper.
These guys are really something.

A few 100 Millions for a new river walk, a few 100 millions for a new kiddie museum, a half a BILLION DOLLARS for the Olympics in Chicago.... But lets cut POLICE AND FIRE after the public outcry of all the shootings and murders.

What the hell goes through the mind of this Mayor?

Hey, maybe cut the graft, bribes, kickbacks, cost over runs, cash envelopes and all the other thefts by 3%?

I wan't to tell the rest of the Police Department what a bunch of shit bags the Department is, I was at the bar on 3 May 08, and there was a distribance before I got there and they gave the bar a ANOV. Well as I was having a drink Dep. Chief James M. Keating, Chief of the Centrol Control District walked in, in uniform and working; and Who knows me and said to the manager what is he doing here. He also refused to shake my hand. I guess this is the way the Command staff does things now. No human contact. There was another P/O with me. The Manager of the bar asked us to leave as requested by KEATING, which we did. This Dep Keating is a staight up Jag-Off, and if He reads this, he knows who I am and can come and talk to me!

Dep. KEATING made is way to Dep. by sucking DICK DALEY's ASS, He was the longest running body guard for DICK DALEY and was rewarded by being the Commander of the body guard unit. He was moved up after being a body guard from 1983 to 1993 and after being promotted to Sgt in 1993 He was brought back in to the Unit in 1994 as Commander of Unit 543 the Mayors Body Guard Detail(he is only a Sgt of Police). In 2004 the Mayor had him transfered to the TRU as Commander and than 001 District. After a short time in 001 District and than he has never been on the streets, this guy was promotted to Dep Chief. This guy never done any street time, This is the way people on this job get promotted!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not what you do, but who you know. DICK DALEY and DICK JAMES M. KEATING!!!!!!!!!!!Two jag-off's


Only did two years in patrol as a P/O...............

sacred cows. oh yeah we are getting tons of money from the city before this. lets see we have cars that are run down and filthy. we can not even have decent computers in the car to properly do our jobs. if he truly had balls here is how he can cut spending. the cha,his great place to "save souls,"should do mass drug tests of these residents. if anyone tests positive for drugs they are gone. this would save a bunch of money there. these idiotic studies to find the root causes of youth vioence which of course we are paying for should be gone.it does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that the reason why these kids are violent is because these parents are utter failures. but hey lets keep going out there and being aggressive. i would call for that as soon as you hit your ten year mark start looking for a lateral transfer to the suburbs where you have equipment that works and you are treated like a professional. the most important is NO RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT

Here's what a GREAT COP Deputy Chief Keating was. Back in the late 80's I worked the old Chicago Stadium (Hawks and Bulls games). He also worked the stadium. At that time I was in 013 Tact while he was in narcotics. He and the other do nothing losers from narcotics would laugh and joke about all of their negative search warrants because at that time "activity" in the narcotics section was based on generated raid numbers, not on actual arrests or narcotics recovered. Keating would actually make fun of the narcotics cops who actually did their jobs. My partner and I tried to go to narcotics, but when we were interviewed by then Sergeant Terry Hillard we were told we were qualified, but we needed a phone call (And that's no B.S.) Needless to say we never made it to narcotics. I thought Keating was a loser then and I know he is a LOSER now. This is the "Quality Leadership" we have on this job. Thank god I only have a few years left.

Keating is Deputy Chief of CCG and a merit crony. He is a total stroke and unfortunately on the road to bigger and better things. This guy will be a Deputy Superintendent real soon. He is not a friend to the working police men and women on this job. He is in constant communication with Daley and would hang you out to dry in a heartbeat. If you ever run into this guy just do your job and get away fast. If shit hits the fan he will make you the fall guy. It is no wonder J-Fed did not touch CCG, 001, or 018 when all the moves were made. This Keating guy is being groomed to be Superintendent someday and don't be suprised if you see him move up real soon.

They brought down Charles Wilson the local drug dealer who was the main guy behind the Marquette 10.

I came on the job when Richard J was the mayor and Rochford (sp?)was the superintendent,even though the old mans true love was the CFD he did'nt treat us that bad.

I've worked thru mayors Byrne,Washington,and Sawyer,and we held our own,even though I often wondered about some of the idiots they gave us as superintendents,but we worked around them,and you could still do police work without being secondguessed on everything you did.

Now we have Richard M,if you want to know when the demise of the CPD started,it was the day he was elected!We've been on a downward spiral from the day he took office.The political (merit) promotions,the lack of up to date equipement,the ghetto lottery,those are just some of the elements that led us to where we are today.I have never seen morale as low as it is,think hard about your careers if your still contemplating doing proactive police work.The writing is on the walls,men and woman,your nothing but a sacrificial lamb to the storefront reverands,and the lotto lawyers.They'll throw you under the bus to appease the haters for political reasons.

And as long as Richard M is in office this is the way it's going to be!Everyday I wake up with a smile knowing this time next year I'll be living far away from this corrupt city/county and yet it sickens me to see what Richie M did to us.Be safe and go home to your family each night,in the same shape you left.

Dear Mr. Mayor:

You have cut the budget 3% that will include the Police and Fire Departments. Thursday I gave a ride to a PO on IOD to the Medical Section. The route we choose came south down two boulevards to the Ike, to the Ryan and off at 35th Street. Almost the entire route your planters were being filled with new flowers and when we got to 35th St. the planters in the parking lot which citizens will never see were being filled with new mulch. What are your priorities Mr. Mayor?

HOW MUCH DID YOUR ILLEGAL COMMANDO RAID ON MEIGS AIRPORT FINALLY COST THE TAX PAYERS OF CHICAGO?

HOW MUCH DID MILLENNIUM PARK ACTUALLY COST THE TAXPAYERS OF THE CITY?

What ever happened to your other scandals? The 40 million saved by the scraping the truck for hire program? Did you ever answer John Kass’s question into who hired Angelo Torres? Did we ever get back all the money your on cousin put into the dump truck that he sold it to a dealer and bought back later the same week for his own gain? How about the 1000's of city dollars put into the Fire House building right before it was sold to become a restaurant? WHAT WAS THAT PROPERTY WORTH AND NOW MUCH DID IT SELL FOR? Did the taxpayers ever recoup the stolen salaries from your brother’s brother-in-law ghost pay rolling at the water department? Are you going to personally guarantee the 15 million dollar investment loan your nephew got from the police pension fund? Since all of your appointed members to the fund knew he was related would it have been only right to let the elected representatives to the fund know too? And before your blue ribbon committee looks too far into playing with the pension funds maybe YOU should ask the Federal Securities and Exchange Committee to look at the shenanigans of your own family first. How did your son have 65K of spendable money to illegally invest when so few police, fire, or paramedics at the top pay scale for the rank-in-file could come up with that kind of money?

Back to the police front it seems that every third house on my block in the 16th District has a take home car in the driveway. Why do the CO’s of units like ERPS and Equipment and Supply have take home cars? How many people in the Caps office? Area Deputies office? In my District on the A&A sheets only 18% working on last Wednesday were in the field and in addition we have well over 50 people detailed out of which only 9 are L/D. Maybe it is time to stop being a politician and be a manager. But that would be too bitter a pill to swallow right Mr. Mayor?

1977 KMA and loving it!

You can bet that things will be quietly shaved off our medical benefits. That's how they do it, procedures and drugs that were paid for this year or last year are not paid for next year or at a way higher price. One of my friends has worked for years at a hospital in the insurance department. She has seen the decline in workingman's benefits over the years, especially government employees. However, elected officials have the double platinum anything they want at the taxpayer’s expense plans, now and in retirement.

Of course there is the offer of a 1% pay raise, which will not even cover the price increases of gas or medical care.

All this to feed the hired trucks to build a new children’s museum, more flower pots, speed bumps and monuments to Hizoner.

Vote Republican, even if we can vote him out, may we can see him convicted out.

About a month ago, went with the family for a weekend getaway to the Grand Geneva, and on one of the tables at one of the nicer eateries there was a big "V/L" scratched into it. The town of Lake Geneva was tagged all over too with "L/K" stuff.

Amazing, huh?

3% of NON-PERSONAL (?Personnel?) means money spend for things, not people. So, it's NOT a 3% cut in the Police / Fire Budget.

It's not like I didn't give Weis a chance to privately discuss his role in bringing meaningful reforms to the CPD.

I am a damn fool for actually believing this phony outsider could be our salvation in minimizing the adverse effects of Chicago-style clout and political corruption on job morale. I first phoned him in early December in Philly to express my best wishes and hopes for him. Five months later, his "honeymoon" is now over. Fuggedaboudit! J-Fed is a consummate bullshitter. This scoundrel has absolutely no credibility whatsoever.

As evidenced by his recent anecdotal comments on the Roe Conn radio show, Mr. Weis apparently believes that outstanding police leadership and a gifted intellect are mutually exclusive. Some may fairly say that he has even elevated several morons to exempt positions.

This brought to mind the decade-old case of one Robert Jordan who applied to become an officer with the New London (CT) P.D.

Unfortunately, after Jordan scored 33 of 50 on the Wonderlic test (estimated IQ: 125), New London refused to hire him because he was "too smart" to be a NLPD officer.

Weis apparently has the same condescending disdain for intelligence. Considering he is nothing more than a highly-paid puppet for bar exam double flunkie Daley, I'm under the impression that Weis is not exactly Mensa material himself.

Yet, he has the unmitigated chutzpah to speak of CPD "core values" such as professionalism, integrity, courage and excellence. Only the best and the brightest. Right, Weis?

Try fuckin' "merit" and mediocrity, you patronizing, shameless poseur!

And take off our proud uniform. I've seen all too many blood-soaked CPD uniforms in which officers made the ultimate sacrifice. Fuck you, Weis!

Daley needs to get smart. There are ways for the city to make money.. What ever happened to "going green"? how about the city puts up some solar panels ontop those flat downtown buildings? or wind power?? that would cut energy costs a ton. also lease the cta train stops to companies. money can be made here but he needs to stop his old way of thinking.

The rest of the real police just ignored him and put their backs to him. But i do want to thank you j-fed for getting me in shape for the run. I lost 15 pounds on your plan. I don't bust my ass anymore for this city. At the end of the day I have more energy so i go workout and run. I don't have court 4 times a week anymore but that's ok I got the wife making more money than me. So thanks J-fed.

He was moved up after being a body guard from 1983 to 1993 and after being promotted to Sgt in 1993 He was brought back in to the Unit in 1994 as Commander of Unit 543 the Mayors Body Guard Detail(he is only a Sgt of Police). In 2004 the Mayor had him transfered to the TRU as Commander and than 001 District. After a short time in 001 District and than he has never been on the streets, this guy was promotted to Dep Chief. This guy never done any street time, This is the way people on this job get promotted!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not what you do, but who you know. DICK DALEY and DICK JAMES M. KEATING!!!!!!!!!!!Two jag-off's

Philadelphia police: Bank robbery suspect fatally shoots cop
By Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA - Authorities say a bank robbery suspect has shot and killed a police officer in Philadelphia.

Police spokeswoman Tanya Little says two men robbed the bank Saturday morning and fled.

Little says a police officer confronted the suspects a short distance away and was shot. She says he was taken to Temple University Hospital, where he died.

Authorities say one suspect was apprehended and police were searching a wooded area for the other. A state police helicopter is helping with the search and federal authorities are investigating the bank robbery.

Mayor Daley, Dip into all those off shore accounts of yours for the $$$ you stole after all these years in office.

The city budgets us for 13,500, we only have 9,400 so oh um, where is all that other money gone?

All the interest the Mayor made on the money that is in a high interest baring account of short term cd's that we should have in our own pockets but dont because we have no contract "AGAIN". Where's that money?

About $1,000 dollars waisted on the helicoptor doing fly by's over the run to remember. Another $1,000 dollars tmrw at St Judes. Don't get me wrong, if the dept has EXTRA money to do something with then I'm all for the fly overs at special events but we dont have a contract, we dont have equipment or vehicles that work and we're underpaid but we have money to blow on this, come on. Just like the waisted money on the dept hummer or the expensive robots or more and more useless pod cams. uy yuy yuy.

I know TRU gets a bad rap. There are about 1/3 of the guys and gals over there that actually go out there and try and often do make quality arrests. The other 2/3 are wet under the ears, think they know everything and have attitudes when they visit a district station. But its proven that TRU works. If the districts where doing there job, then TRU wouldn't have to be there to nip the crime rate in the butt. The recent downsizing of TRU didnt make sense for starters. The problem is that the dept should be hiring 3,000 + more police, not shifting numbers. The 90 some officers they lost, the new commander got rid of them based on the "eenie meenie minie moe" concept, not on productivity. Way to go "new" commander, you got rid of numerous officers that were actually doing real police work. I tell ya, nothing changes on this job except for things getting worse.

If they caused no problem and came after the disturbance, who is Keating to order you to leave a bar? This isn't Nazi Germany. Now these bosses are dictating where we as citizens can go to have a drink. So much for your rights. None of the jag offs who probably started the problem were asked to leave, were they?

5/03/2008 09:58:00 AM

Ummm, if you read the original post, he said he got to the bar AFTER the disturbance.

On the one hand, I think the P.O. did the right thing and left because he knew if he didn't, Keating would go out of his way to fuck with the bar/owner. My guess is that the manager felt itimidated and that's why he asked the P.O. to leave.

However, what the manager should have told Keating was, "Sorry. This guy isn't bothering anyone so I'm not going to ask him to leave." But, we all know if he had done that, there would be premise checks on the place every night. On second thought, let 'em and then sue for harassment.


On the other, if he was off duty, WTF does Keating think he is telling the P.O. where he can and can't spend his time and money?!

"Sorry boss, I just ordered a drink and I'm on my own time having a conversation with my friends. Now, is there anything else I can do for you?".

What's he going to do, drag you off the bar stool?

"These guys stopped at a convenience store and got some chips". Big f'n deal. I've been doing that for the last twenty plus years. Where were you then ? I also take more than thirty minutes whenever I go down on lunch. Is that eating at you also?

I'm a fucking Marine, I was in two wars I don't need to do a damn powertest to use this weapon, I've killed eneny soldiers with it. So basically u can be an absolute retard and so long as u pass a powertest u get to carry a carbine? But if ur fully qualified and fail after the departments whole 3 day notice of a powertest your not good enough???? Wow J-Fed ur not very intelligent are you? Find me a department in the world that makes their officers be physically fit in order to carry a bigger weapon, you won't!!! Thanks for throwing ur steroid fitness shit around numbnuts.

He also refused to shake my hand. I guess this is the way the Command staff does things now. No human contact. There was another P/O with me.

Keating is Deputy Chief of CCG and a merit crony. He is a total stroke and unfortunately on the road to bigger and better things. This guy will be a Deputy Superintendent real soon. He is not a friend to the working police men and women on this job. He is in constant communication with Daley and would hang you out to dry in a heartbeat. If you ever run into this guy just do your job and get away fast. If shit hits the fan he will make you the fall guy. It is no wonder J-Fed did not touch CCG, 001, or 018 when all the moves were made. This Keating guy is being groomed to be Superintendent someday and don't be suprised if you see him move up real soon.

He's being groomed alright. The Mayor likes all his bitches wearing lip stick, fishnet stockings and pumps. It just goes to show its not what you know, its who you blow.

Per department police and currently in talks with FOP. We as a department can't have officers having a good time so I put a stop to this. I told the owner, no beer for the police. Than I reported this to my old friend DALEY! He said great job keep it up!

About a month ago, went with the family for a weekend getaway to the Grand Geneva, and on one of the tables at one of the nicer eateries there was a big "V/L" scratched into it. The town of Lake Geneva was tagged all over too with "L/K" stuff.

Amazing, huh?

Get this they both refused to go with their own 14th District Tact Officers on a Search Warrant. Fat Ass Donna Dowd who was the watch commander and the idiot Field Lt. Niger sat in their office and 14 Tact had to call the 25 th Dist Lt who stepped up to the plate and handled it. Niger and Dowd your both two lazy, out of shape non police, assholes. Congratulations to the both of you for lowering the morale of your district. I hope the Commander of 14 dumps both of you. And please don't use the excuse that the warrant was being served in the 25th District. You could have still went with your troops but your fat and lazy and most important both of you are the C-word......COWARDS

How about hiring a P.O.'s widow to work on the memorial and race. Since Phatty Phil gets a paycheck from this scam of a memorial why not someone that deserves and needs it get a salary. Why is a CPD Detective getting paid 80,000 plus to work on something a CPD widow could do.

I got a chance to watch Keating in action 2 times. First was a fire down town near some college. JK was in some huge command camper thing, in the plush office at the dest. Well, the sun was shining in the window, so he had to cup a hand to his brow to prevent glare. So, rather than close the blinds, he had his drivers move this huge camper around the 4 corners of the intersection as the day progressed, all to stay out of the sun. The drivers had to set and reset the outriggers etc, it was so stupid that you had to laugh. The drivers just shrugged their shoulders and smiled.
The second time was St Jude last year. There was JK, surrounded by a phalanx of Capt's,Lt's and Sgt's, all trying to see and be seen (suck up) directing traffic. At one point they had some hapless civilian stuck in the middle of the intersection, lost, surrounded by bosses and every white shirt was pointing in a different direction...oh for a camera! It was priceless!

You must have an excellent p.d.t. in your flawless squad to run names and plates. Also, to code your jobs with, which I am sure that you handle a minimum of 15 per tour. Thankfully, you never have to ask dispatch for a call-back on the 2 hour old burg report, twice, then request the RD #, then notify a Sgt., then switch over to order up the E.T., all because you have this excellent p.d.t.. Thank Christ that you would never have to use your radio to do any of this, because then you might find out that actually using the radio, eats up the battery no matter how well it's charged.

Wow what a novel idea, give the police bigger and better guns. Anyone who's been on awhile can remember when cops had shotguns in their squads. What happened? Oh yeah the citizens complained and away went the shotguns. If they get better weapons I wonder how long they'll have them. Now, along with the Mayor and the right reverends, we have a boss who also has no idea what policemen face everyday. God help the legit citizens of Chicago.

Jim Keating and his good buddy Eddie(Capt. Morgan)Griffin are lifelong 11th Ward political hacks. Jim is an extreme type A personality and loves to micromanage. He's also extremely paranoid. He'll burn you in a heartbeat if he thinks it will make him look good to "the Boss" as he refers to the mayor. He definitely has the mayors ear and is not to be trusted. I'd say that if you talked to the various bodyguards that worked both with him and under him on the Mayors detail not many,if any,would have a good word to say about him. Just ask former Cmdr. Lou Gade about Jim. Jim went out of his way to make Lou's team look bad to the Mayor.

"Neither Sgt. Terry Hillard or Keating were ever in Narcotics."
HILLARD WAS a Sgt. in Narcotics.
He was probably the first black Sgt. who supervised a team that handled multi-kilo deals. Black Sgts. rarely have the opportunity to get the "good" teams in Narcotics. They almost always go to white and latino Sgts.
No black postal team Sgts.
No hispanic postal team Sgts.
No black "long term" team Sgts.
If you know anyone in narcotics, ask them who holds down the one long term team there now, and how long he's been a sgt. Also, inquire about who holds down the task force teams. How long have they been sgts? Does anybody recall ever seeing a black or latino sgt. ever being the supervisor of the postal team in the past, oh, fifteen years or so?
Or even having the opportunity to get it?
