Is Anyone Surprised?
Since last October, the IPRA has opened investigations into just over 1,200 allegations of police misconduct and abuse.
"Our investigators immediately came on the scene, and we are investigating," said Mark Payne, IPRA spokesman.
During the same six-month period, October to March, the IPRA issued reports on 364 investigations filed previously. The vast majority of cases, 346 charges, were either not sustained, unfounded or the officers exonerated. Only in 18 cases, fewer than 5 percent, did the IPRA sustain the misconduct allegations.
So let's see - a "new" investigatory agency, a total revamp of the existing bureaucracy, new procedures, promises of prompt investigations and quick turn-around and the result is?
- Over 95% of the cases brought to IPRA are found to be bullshit!
Golly, maybe is isn't the police running around beating people for no reason. Maybe the vast majority of complaints filed are filed by criminals seeking revenge on officers who arrested them. Perhaps the only basis for a CR to be filed is the hopes of a quick and generous payout by Corporation Counsel to avoid having to actually try cases.
But that wouldn't fit in with the Administration's attempts to screw us over in the middle of contract negotiations.

And how come no word on the groups of retired FBI Agents working as "civilian Contractors" helping to investgate the backlog of cases? How much is this costing the city? How many of J-Feds buddies are making $100-$500 dollars an hour to attempt to contact a complainant that is in the County?
This is what should be reported? What do the retired FBi guys make to do these investigations? Is there a bonus for a sustained finding (like the old OPS had in their performance evaluations?)
I heard that the City has agreed to FREE HEALTH CARE for memebers and their eligible dependants at age 55 in contract negotiations to attempt to get us off the job. Did you hear anything SCC?
Don't forget who owns "River North Beverege".
Jesse Jackson's son, Youseff.
Hammer their trucks.
-Overweight on a side street. (max load is 5 tons. each truck is over that empty.)
-Driving on the wrong side of the street.
-Parking more than 12" from the curb.
-No city sticker.
We have nobody but ourselves.
If yo dont do anything you wont get a CR number.
Good for the LA Princess. It looks like she is trying to be fair.
Besides, she's hot.

This was the topic brought up at first town hall meeting with JFED. Unfounded CR#s by citizens who were lying. They sign affadavits and were found to be lying. This article proves that many people are filing false complaints against PO's. No recourse for PO"S but they must suffer the harassment during the investigation. JFED said there is nothing we can do against people who lie after signing affadavits. Now a fed heads the revamped agency and still the same results. No protection for working PO's.
The IRPA and IAD are sending a record # of CR investigations over to the States Attorneys office for criminal prosecution. Wait and see how many of us face prosecution in the near future, it is going to be bad.

Not true.
"How many of J-Feds buddies are making $100-$500 dollars an hour to attempt to contact a complainant that is in the County?"
They're making more like 50 bucks an hour kicking back 2/3rds of the rest. Just like J-Fed's agreement w/the Mayor.
Cuz dat's da Chicagah way.
SCC, We know you know everything but 95 percent were not sustaind meaning not enough evidence to prove or the complaiant did not cooperate. If 95 percent were found to be exonerated even I would agree with your bullsh*t column. Sometimes your desk job skills overtake your fantasy world of being a street cop. Now go find your lemmings and help them with their hair-gel.
Little arrest are little headaches, big arrests are big headaches....NO arrest are NO headaches. From a wise old policeman.
Wow go figure after much fanfare and posturing OPS or whatever the fuck its called is still staffed by incompetent political hacks that couldnt investigate where there ass is with both hands. Look at it like this. For the one time that you maybe really screw up, they will do a horseshit investigation and you will probably beat the case anyway.
Oh well, how many more Millions will Daley spend to cow-tow to the Reverends now, only to get the same results. The Midget just doesn't understand that there is something out there called the TRUTH. Taxpayers, you should be OUTRAGED at the amount of your tax dollars this Idiot wastes on a DA[I]LEY basis, for his own political agenda. This guy should be mentally evaluated, IMMEDIATELY.
You are good...SCC, How did our country go from John Wayne to Rosie O'donnell so quickly.
If Obama gets elected we are screwed. Not just because of the social programs he will put into place ensuring dependency to the masses, but because of the supreme court justices he will nominate to guarantee such dependency.

Talked to Bella he said it was possible I will be gone then they can hire more for less! Lets hope it is true then fuck shitcago I am gone!
Sounds like a way to get old timers to retire
where did this rumor start
If they actually tried cases the PoPo would be phucked.
OK, don't get yourself into such a frenzy. A 5% sustain rate DOES NOT mean that 95% of the complaints are BS. Now you're playing fast and loose with the numbers the way the Department does. It simply means that only 5% of the allegations could be proven true and the officer violated Department policy. Period. Nothing sneaky or conspiratorial about it.
"Not sustained" means the allegation couldn't be proven one way or the other, "Exonerated" means the allegation is true, but the officer was justified, and "Unfounded" means that they were able to PROVE that the allegation didn't occur.
Remember, just because it couldn't be proven doesn't mean it didn't happen. Now stop it and say meaningful, rational things, not babble like the Mayor.

Sign me up!!!!!!
IPRA will be getting trained so when they come to the scene, they will know what you should be doing.
Our man Seiser to take 35 day suspension. Could this be happening? It's a bullshit beef. Take the po's off the street, especially the ones that work, like Seiser. Where is our benefit for the man of the hour?

Spew that drivel to your mother & Grandma when they receive their SS Checks each month. Or would you prefer they leave their future to the machinations of the so-called free markets? You're an idiot

Social Security, both retirement, survivor and disability benefits, is funded from payroll deductions from employees and matching contributions from employers.
Just in case you don't know, that means from working citizens.
In the case of retirement, citizens who've worked 45+ years of their lives and are still alive to receive benefits.
In the case of survivor benefits, the dependents of citizens who've worked, contributed and died.
In the case of legitimate disability benefits, citizens who've worked and contributed until such time as they experienced legitimate sufficiently serious health problems to be considered unable to work.
Where does the funding for Welfare come from?
Also from working citizens.
Who receives Welfare?
I expect you'd say 'victims of the free-market'.
The same people who don't work, won't work and/or are incapable of useful work.
With all the money being made by some blacks, both lawfully and unlawfully, why is it that they don't invest in their own communities?
Why don't the rap 'stars', dope kingpins, bible-thumpers and the rest, open businesses within the communities they claim are being 'under-served' and in dire need of government handouts?
How much did mister pisser put into his lawyers' pockets and how many grocery stores has he opened within his community?
Or is he mainly invested in whorehouses? With floor drains in every room?
No protection for working PO's.
Then stop working...what does it take to get it through your skull?
Looks like SCC got called on his bullshit this time.
Social Security is for those who are too stupid to plan for their own retirement. The big brother government thinks you're too stupid and will take care of it for you. Then they give it away to every underserving illegal alien and hype. That's big government for you.

You may disagree with the ratio of benefits to contributions, but to say that SS is being given away omits the fact that only those who have contributed receive benefits.
Not so for welfare, by whatever name it's being called.
Granted, a more vibrant employment environment might help those who are not career moochers, but to claim that SS and welfare are the same is disingenuous at best and bullshit, agenda-driven propaganda at worst.
If one wants to promote honesty in government, the first prerequisite is to be honest.
It's nice to see others in the comment section noticed SCC tries to bullshit the numbers too. Maybe SCC can get a job with Monique Bond.
OPS Sustained less than 5% of the complaints filed against PO's
IPRA is currently sustaining less than 5% of the complaints filed against PO's.
Who cares how SCC read the numbers, the fact remains that 95% of the numbers against police are unsustained, unproven, and typically bullshit filed by shitheads to fuck with the police.
This one also fits Problem #3
Here’s one investigation they won’t see (unless they read this blog and take it upon themselves to do something):
The seems to have been a recent May Meritorious Promotion to Sgt. For a certain 19th warder. After an evening of celebratory refreshments at a local establishment, it seems the certain son of the certain recently meritoriously Promoted Sgt. Had a few too many and hit at least four other cars coming back into the hood.
Of course, he didn’t bother to stop (why would he?). Not only did he not stop, he gave 2211 a run for their money with only three wheels! Yes that’s right. He ducked in and out of streets, north/south east/west from 109th to 103rd, Hamlin to Homan blowing smoke and giving a horrendous skreetch the entire time.
Once he finally pulled over, sonny boy (dressed on a CPD t-shirt) ran from off-duties and 2211 and had to be cuffed and carried back to the squad. Once in the squad, he decided to open the windows with his feet. Luckily, 2211 was able to remove him before any damage was done. This was replayed at least one more time, as the wagon was too busy to bring sonny boy in.
So let’s see…
DUI
Four leaving the scenes (PD)
Fleeing…
Resisting…
Now, what do you think sonny boy ended up with after he called his newly Meritoriously Promoted Sgt. Dad?
A traffic ticket. That’s right, clout alive and kicking J-Fed.
SCC:
It appears that the so-called legal instrument that was utilized to raid the motorcycle club at Fullerton and Western several weeks ago was a piece of paper from the Department of Revenue instructing the Police Department to check the location for serving food without a license!
If this is factual then I would say a little overkill was present when the high-risk entry team was utilized with flash grenades and safes were blown open.
I would not doubt that a Deputy Chief, Commander, tactical lieutenant and the sergeant in-charge of the high-risk entry team are sweating today.
Common sense was lacking that night.
Its amazing that after you got called on YOUR bullshit, no more comments appeared.

So, are you're complaining that no one has called you on YOUR bullshit?
Or is it just that you're AMAZED that no one has called you on your bullshit?
