De Policing
The alderman recited a string of statistics that Weis did not challenge. Compared to this time last year, Chicago has had 28 more homicides, 2,626 more gang disturbances, 1,210 more reports of a person with a gun, 7,136 more reports of shots fired and 473 more reports of narcotics sales.
With crime indicators headed upward, police should be more aggressive, but the opposite has occurred. Gang loitering interventions are down 1,163, narcotics loitering interventions have dropped 2,329, and police have taken 500 fewer guns off Chicago streets.
Carothers (29th) called it "de-policing," a condition that exists when officers "stop doing their jobs" because they're afraid nobody has their back.

I'm not a fan of Carothers but he did make a couple valid points about police department morale and Jody's lack of knowledge, experience and tactics.
I don't think I've heard anyone else on the City Council say anything nearly as poignant.
His rap about victim-hood is a sham and is rightly derided by SCC. The police can only do such much out there to lower violent crime, but the General Public doesn't want to hear it. Well too bloody bad. It's about time they started to hear it. There is no one to blame but King Richard Shortshanks and his gun-free zone feudal laws.
If they want us to do our job, then get us some prosecutorial support from within the mayor's office, the State's Attorneys office and from the judges.
where was the contract mentioned in the broadcast? exactly you alderthieves have made your bed now sleep in it. nighty night don't let the west side bugs bite.
Good job brothers! Lets keep on doing nothing. They have fucked us over and over and now they get the monster they created. They play with our lives and act as though working without a contract time and time again is ok. It's not just about the money. It shows how the city feels about the job we do. There is no trust or confidence in the city or department leadership. What J-fed did to Cozzie sent us all a message and deepened the lack of trust. They haven't had our backs for years and they never will. The brass only cares about themselves and their wealthly clout positions and glory. They want us to make them look good, but they will turn their backs on everyone of us in a second! It's now about each other not them! Stay safe!
de-police (dee-polees) - noun - ghetto slang for law enforcement officer aka the police.
"pookie was funna be a computer analistasizer untils de-police kilted him for no reason."
Go look at the FOP website under current contract proposals offered by the city in our next contract. ANOTHER REASON NOT TO DO SHIT. And I agree with 100% SCC. This is the type of police department they wanted!!!!!
does Ald. Zalewski remember a female p.o. w/ the initials E.R.? Hmmmmmmmm
Hey Ike you dumb motherfucker. When was the last time a lawsuit was brougt against an alderman by a citizen? When was the last time an alderman got in front of a camera and stood up for the police and the good work we do? HERE'S A NOVEL IDEA MR. PIRE/POLICE WHATEVERTHEFUCK YOUR TITLE IS....WHY NOT COME ASK US
----THE PATROLMAN---- WHATS WRONG. You want answers, we'll give you straight from the hip truthful answers! How about showing up at an anti-police protest and backing us when pook is lit up because he had a gun. Oh, that's right you are an elected official and you like that 100k PART TIME JOB TOO MUCH.
Well, thats ok....we like it better this way too.
I AIN'T DOIN SHIT THATS PROACTIVE!!! WHO HAS THE THE BIGGEST BALLS NOW???!!!
"De Policing"? They wont even let us chase shit bags in a fleeing vehicle!!!! These assholes know they can run from us a get away with it.
Bring back the coppers that you unjustly fired and make atonement with the rank and file,if not,watch and see the crime stats skyrocket.
Threaten us again,attempt to replace the attrition otj and God Forbid let a major incident occur in the City of Chicago; when all is said and done,we will see who wins. You may very well win the battle,but you have already lost the war.
Machiaevelli rules!!!
can i request an event # for putting my shoes back on?
De Policing is just a liberal term cooked up by some think tank in order to scare all of the upstanding citizens of the city of chicago much like global warming and the dreaded "chupacabra"... i dont see man power issues... I see plenty of squad cars parked throughout the day at districts...those cars have officers to drive them right? ...RIGHT??????..uhh oh..
SRT
Boys and girls the only thing that is noticed within the ranks is a line of duty death or a drop in numbers. Nothing else matters or effects change within the CPD,let time dictate what occurs. It is better to serve your time on the payroll than in Unit 376,on the unemployment line or in the penitentiary.
"and police have taken 500 fewer guns off Chicago streets."
hey don't forget if you get too many guns that they want to investigate you, is it worth it? hell no!! you want it, you got it. now they bitch we do nothing. let this city burn
De Policing? Doesn't he know de police do da policing when day police. What's wrong with dem guys?
SCC,
I don't know how long the city has set the proper # of police at 13,500, but it has been many years. Before Financial Crimes Unit, Community Policing, Internet Crimes, Terrorism Task Force, TRU, The Juvenile center, before all the civilians that worked the desk but were laid-off and replaced by P.O's, Asset Forfeiture Unit, HBT that used to work beat cars until they were needed, the Helicopter Unit, etc..etc... My point is the role of the Police has changed over the years, also causing a drain of police resources and manpower. Maybe the number of Police needs to be raised to 16,500. The question should not be "how many Police are there"? Maybe someone needs to ask " how many beat and rapid cars are being maned"?

The city would make millions if they did this here.....
And now one Chicago suburb is taking its dislike of those below the hip saggy pants to a new level by banning them and handing out tickets.
"They just rolled up on us and told us to come here. And they didn't say why, so we didn't come. So then, we came to them, and they put us in the back of the car," said Antonio, 19, ticketed for wearing baggy pants, recounting a recent experience with south suburban Lynwood police. " We went to the station. They wrote out these tickets, and now we got to go to this little Lynwood court thing."
He is one of the first to be ticketed under a week-old ordinance that outlaws baggy pants and carries a $25 fine. Lynwood Mayor Eugene Williams says he wants his growing community to keep an upscale appeal to help attract businesses.

Too little too late. The powers to be let this occur and now they need to CPD back. The CPD had the highest homicide clearance rate in the US at one time, the most recovered guns in the US at one time and some of the finest officers in the US.
They disbanded some of the hardest hitting units that did the daily heavy lifting by disbanding SOS and the Public Housing Units. They disbanded the School Unit that insured our childrens safety while attending sshool. They dismantled the concept of the beat officer by gutting the districts of manpower. They took the incentive for hardwork away by insisting upon clout,nepotism,political favoritism,demographic selection and cronyism instead of competency in promotion.
They destroyed the morale by unjustly suspending,firing and publicly tarring and feathering honest working coppers. You lost some of the brightest minds and tarnished future ambitions by doing this. The CPD is large but small,you destroy one officer unjustly and you kill a piece of all of us.
My friends you have just begun to reap what you have sown.
in addition to de-policing, officers who are denied lunch because of manpower and RAPs should put in a slip for 30 minutes overtime. you earned it. stop loving the job more than it loves you. dont believe the old story that they will let you go early some other time. it's a lie. for anyone who brags about being proud of working their lunch without asking for OT, it's not for the money or CU; it's the principle of it. all the OT you do for free is just money put back in daley's pocket. and it makes the boss look good for tricking you into working for free.
*** My friend just died and if we had the 13,500 cops we are suppose to have he may have had a partner that night and things may have turned out differently!
Mayor Daley show the city how many police officers there are!! If another officer gets killed I am holding Daley personally responsible and so should all of you. Wake up brothers and sisters of the CPD your life may depend on it. This is the time to stand up and do something, show the city why we are tired of being the fall guy, tired of being the punchline, tired of being the news clip each night and yet our leaders do nothing and say nothing. Well if our leaders refuse to do nothing SO SHOULD WE!!! Let the city come to a grinding halt and once the Olympics are in fear of not coming here then we may get a contract, be able to take time off, and most importantly have the MANPOWER we most certainly need to back each other up for our safety and yours.
Godbless the CPD.
Wait one stinking minute....
What is he talking about de-policing?? Aren't the alderman the first line of defense and as such received such a hefty raise. Okay okay, so it was a few years back, but their hefty raise sure beats any raises officers received over the past seven years, collectively.
Don't ever remember seeing them on scene of anything, just always calling the Dist Commanders and creating more "calls for service".
You're the aldermen. You KNOW your constituents get proactive and lead by example.
I can say this, at least Superintendent Weis is trying to appear proactive to justify his comfy salary, how about a few of you aldermen????
See you all out on the beat,
De policing is the result of their complaints of racial profiling and civil rights violations. I think that good book says, "You reap what you sow". Well, they are just beginning to reap and weep cause the summer has just begun and we are in for a string of extrememly hot weather. Up until now, the temps have been cool and things have been up for grabs. Maybe they can pray to that fine mythical figure, "BUD BILIKEN" for help cause nothing else is helping!
Whats with Cuello's eyes?"Blinky Bea"go schedule an appointment with a opthamologist.
De policing, eh? Yes, and you can expect much, much more of the same until you assholes in the city council stop paying shitheads and start offering more than 1.1% for our next contract.
How can they be upset with what they asked for all along? Kiss my ass.
:)...............)oh and i'm a SGT!!!
De- this you political assholes. You got the city you wanted now deal with it.
I give a flyin shit if we get 25% over 4 years Im done. This city makes me sick and the element that the politicians cater to are out of control.
nobody has our back. you cant say ...go out and get them ..and then turn around and fuck us! you tied ours hands and you want us to be aggressive? you want numbers? i have 1 number...my middle finger pointed at you. the CPD is only as strong as its weakest link. the pols and the bosses are afraid to tell the truth. its easier to blame the police for everything than its to say people are violent.like in the clint eastwood western ''dont piss on my back and tell me its raining''.
Take a look at how many more agg batts with handguns....thats the real story.
Just protect your own neighborhood and no one else's!
The bosses and the idiot reverends want to take you down for their own gains!
Blahahahahahahahahahaha! Blahahahahhahahhaha! Wait I got one more left. Blahhahahahahahahahahaha!
Oh, that's rich. De-policing. Yeah, I like it. Wow, something that I can actually use coming from the City Council. Who'da thunk it? Hey shitbags, this is what you wanted and this is what you got. Settle in because it's gonna get a lot better down the road.
You wanna fuck with the police? Go ahead. But we'll fuck you right back. And good. What's the matter? Don't like losing that revenue? People on you about the rise in crime? You can't have it both ways, assholes.
I've got to get back to some de-policing ideas now. I'll be sure to remember to be the police you wanted when I'm spending that 1.1% raise you want to give me.
Chalkie says " De Police this "
Gang and Narcotics Loitering distursals are a waste of time, has anyone ever looked at the number of loitering arrests compared to actual dispersals? I can remember Corp Counsel advising us to use other charges when we were trained in the new law, Reckless Concuct, Soliciting Business, etc... to avoid legal issues. All they are are another number to plug in.
As a "former" worker on a southside gang team, It feels good to sit back and watch these bosses and piece of shit politicians get the type of policing they wanted. Depolicing is the real deal "Ike". No copper is willing to take any risks or even be aggressive on these gangbangers and dope slingers as long as the alderscum and city continue to side with the "animal" and pay out time and again. Can anyone honestly sit here and give me any reasons to be the working police anymore? To all you media scum who shit on our department everyday---are ya feelin it? While you drive home to the burbs after your broadcast we get to deal with these animals.
Carothers just said, live on 7 morning news, that we're down 1,300 to 1,400 officers.
They're getting closer to leaking out the truth, but still not even remotely close to a cigar stub.
On a scale of 1 to 10, the combined pressure of reduced revenue, increased criminal activity and the beginning of unavoidable media coverage, is about a 3.
If they're getting worried now, they'll be shitting blood when it hits 6+.
And, if they don't cave by then, when it hits 8, suicide may become their exit strategy. Preceded by them turning on each other.
A different twist on Darwin's theories.
TRU you are a joke and now everybody in the city knows it. I have zero respect for that unit and the 2 year wonder cops that work in it.
Jody was hired to police us.
But quickly he learned that we are not the problem.
Now what?
BEA WARE OF THE MOO-POD
I WISH I COULD BLINK DAT HARD!
We will be de policing until we are allowed once again to de m/1ing.

ER WHO COULD THAT BE? i WATCHED THAT SHOW WITH CLOONEY IT WAS A POLICE SHOW?
WE REMEMBER!
Thirty-eight years ago tomorrow night...
End of Tour: July 17, 1970; 19:03 hrs., 1150 N. Sedgwick St.
Walking across a baseball diamond, Sgt. Jim SEVERIN and Off. Tony RIZZATO were slain by sniper fire from a 6th floor bathroom window of the 19-story CHA bldg. at 1150 N. Sedgwick St.
Cop-killers Johnny Veal and George Clifford Knights will one day leave prison in a box to burn in Hell.
May God bless the souls of Tony and Jim.
Another catch phrase thatnk ike, maybe now j-fed will promote your brother to commander as you requested, and you did not get you way and put him on the seat! Just read how eddie burke was nice to jody why? Could it be eddie wants to keep his shiny new crown vic with all the police equip, and all his d-3+ paid valets? " I am tired I work 2 on 3 off and get overtime"! eddie your finance chairman what have you done for cpd, except for the book you make money on? the answer NOTHING!! Your father Joe Burke was a great man but you and danny?
alderfolks are armed,never qualify let them patrol their shit areas and see what happens! shitizens on patrol great come on ike be a man have balls until jesse jackson cuts them off goof!
I can assure that if you go out there and conduct PRO-ACTIVE POLICING, and there is a CR# issued, for whatever bullshit some ass can come up with! You will be stripped, sent to call back and most likely given 30 pending. IAD may have a new head ,who from what were are being told takes direct orders from ADS. Kirby- now general counsel to the Sup. There are some no good lying investigators in the ranks there looking for advancement. I was pro active and after watching how this department has gone down in flames inaddition to seeing my friends getting just raked across the coals for BS! I for one am done. Weis "the troop have my full supprot" ya right full support directly to a federal fucking case!!! You POS....
Holy De- Yourself Batman!!!
De-Politic yourself from the police department Carothers.
The citizens of Chicago need to elect a Superintendents and District Commanders in a general or special election. Let the people and not the career politicians select who should be their police managers.
Honest government...do we need to continue to listen to all these hearings about how incompetent our leaders are?
After the Weiss' hearing it has to be obvious to everyone that something is wrong. Why have a hearing in the first place if everything was great! Someone is not telling the whole truth? The only problem is these alderman voted for him. So if there really is a problem, it would only be normal for them not to admitted to it!
If the Supt and his staff are not completely truthful then they have more to lose, their jobs.
So who has the most to lose? A job or political capital. Disparate people in disparate times do stupid things and they will all continue because they are lost.
Don't they know the economy is probably the real reason for the increase in crime? Hard times do effect the savages too. Money gets short, drug sales might lose a little. Gas gets high in price so the suburbanites find drug sales in say, Aurora or Joliet.
Considering how Daly and his 50 thiefs treat the police they are getting what they deserve. The way the media bashes us and the way the POS citizens act who really gives a shit about the criminals and the POS reporters. The final nail in the coffin would be for all of the TRU coppers to put in Par-Forms to go back to the districts. This way the city can not use the TRU as a smoke and mirror tactic every time shit hits the fan. If the powers that be can not fill them spots what the hell will they do. Let the JO exempts get treated how they treat the PO.
Coppers have to stop being selfish. They need to stop worrying about their little spots and take one for the team. If we all band together there is nothing we can't accomplish. Many coppers need to leave their secret little units and come back to the beat. Not to mention every cop should exit TRU and go back to the district. Let the brass try and create their smoke and mirrors work with out the real police. The bottom line is we should all stick together and make this work for all of us, not just a few of us.
Also, before you start bashing me, I have a good spot too. But, I am willing to leave it if I can get the support and back up from my fellow blue shirts. We need to stop being little kiss asses just to get an hour duck here and there. If we leave the spots by the masses we will set precedence.
De-financing = de -policing
DE-MAYOR
State Leg's. today are sitting on a 7.5 % raise if they sit home and do not vote prioe to Nov. elections.
Police should take heed, these are our State leaders.
Sit down and wait for OUR 7.5 increase and a respectful contract.
Remember these are the same people with guaranteed health insurance as well as pensions for life, much much better than any coppers and their families.
We are the assholes.
Good for goose, good for gander.
"De Policing" Sounds like
"de icing".
Can we de-ice the ghetto?
J-Fraud said that the saw no indication that a morale problem exists. This guy is even dumber than he looks!
Carothers just said, live on 7 morning news, that we're down 1,300 to 1,400 officers.
No fan of his but good for him. At the hearing the department said we were only 200 officers down then they cut to a commercial.
This is great. We should all get together at a place with a bar and laugh more about it. I know! The FOP hall. At the next meeting. We can even talk about the next contract and ask some questions about what's going on and what we can collectively do to change things in our favor.
At the very least, we can have a beer or two.
I never thought I'd see the day when Chicago PD would be de-policed. You guys are just getting started in having your nuts cut.
Whether you like us or not, we at ISP have been de-policed for years. All complaints are encouraged, not matter how fucking stupid they are. We have to have audio / video on at all times on citizen contacts. With the new DVD audio / video recorder it's recording to hard drive all the time. Backs up 2 minutes before traffic stop to see what we were doing. It's used to screw us more than it is to save us.
Hell, downstate in a to be unnamed district, command a year ago was leading the " following " of two SOB's who'd shot a county deputy ( who later died ) NO Shots were ever fired at the bad guys. Yes, they had the opportunity several times. It was follow the leader, and the bad guys lead em all along for miles. They were took shitless to do anything but follow.
Further downstate a troop was 76 to crash on interstate. Yes, miles away he was running according to DVD player 136 mph. He got cut off by car. Lost control and through median hitting suv head on at about 100 mph. Two girls were killed. ISP had him indicted on Reckless Homocide charges. Yes... it's horrible the girls were killed. But Reckless Homocide charges ?
You guys who wanna pursue no matter what had better think again. We feel the same way. Every asshole who flees should be stopped and caught. However...
realism for us is to not do it no matter what.
Vehicle pursuits ? NO WAY. Let the pieces of shit leave. Command shit's their pants if something like that starts up. OMG, what to do, what to do ??? Does it violate policy ??? Where's the ROC ?? I've gotta read it!!!
The perfect scenario would be for AL Qeada to kill a buncha people, steal a car and leave.
We don't pursue a stolen vehicle anymore. Ta Da..... By guys...
For those on the road our command does not have our back. Hasn't for years. We know it. We who work the road know to not hang our butts out. In a shift meeting years ago, we got told by M/Sgt to not get too invovled in vehicle searches. We were needed for broken down motorists or crashes. That's true de-policing.
Now Springpatch wants seat belt tickets, speed tix, and Scott's law violation tix. Those all save lives according to the Governors office. Of course our command sucks at Rod's zipper.
Those who read this may say I'm fulla shit. I have the guts to write what every day shifter in my district would say but are scared to because they beieve DII will trace a post like this back to them and give them time off for violating the ROC.
Truthfully.... For many command, under those green pants with a black stripe they wear are clean white panties. They like it that way. Pure, clean and no balls.
You all be safe out there.....
EXTRA! EXTRA! This just in! Apparently the desk crew at SFG are concerned that a new "SOS" is going to be started.
Not mentioning any names here, but one in particular has ALREADY pleaded to Cmdr Franklin that the desk crew gets to recruit amongst their friends. Ohhh and that they don't don't want anybody they don't KNOW to work there.
That's right! If you don't think the same bullshit is NOT going to happen then think again...Some old names were popping up this morning...names (ROCKO, COOTER, TONE-LOC, BIG MAC) similar to Jerry and his almighty infamous crew. Smoke and mirrors people...New SOS is already starting off badly!!!
Did anyone notice Mike Masters sitting in the back row behind shields. If you are observant you really can see who is running this Department behind the scenes. His name is Daley.
Squad can I get an event # for depolicing the DOC
Hey IKE
I am writing reports and guarding crime scenes in between lunch and gas up the car. My PDT doesnt work so that causes some depolicing, I dont have a contract so Im not very aggressive, I dont trust my bosses at all. They tend to lie a lot "we want quality arrests not numbers" or "we need curfews were behind the index", or "get otu there and take back the streets we have your back" complete BS. Always looking to screw a P.O. to make themselves look good. Well I will be out De policing for another tour tonight and the best thing about o PDT isI wont generate any revenue for the city on BS city sticker tickets. ONE MORE THING EVERYONE KNOWS O'KEEFE LIED ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF POLICE WE ARE SHORT IF A PO DID THAT IT WOULD BE A RULE 15 VIOLATION BUT HES A BOSS SO LYING IS WHAT THEY DO. SCREW YOU AND THIS CITY .
The sad/funny part about all that is happening is we can't go back. There isn't any way that they can say, "Ok get out there and do it like years past, kick ass,take names,etc.." It's like the opening of Pandoras Box and there's no going back to the way things were. Way before Cozzi we felt the climate change which came in the form of those stupid law suits,CR#'s,personal concerns etc... The writing was on the wall and the politicians are solely to blame for sitting on their hands and allowing the department and city hall to come up with all this garbage in effort to control us and placate the liberals. It's true, they got what they wanted only now do they realize that like communism it only looks good on paper and only works in theory. They (not us) have put a cycle in motion that will have a more detrimental effect on this city than crack had on the ghetto as everyone will be touched by it eventually. Fiscal irresponsibility, and catering to special interest has finally broken the city and we as citizens/hostages will feel the sting. They're going to have to come up with new and creative ways to make money now. I heard the figure $11,000.00 per car cam. If that's true someone should have their head chopped off for making such a hair-brained decision. All that money for something that works half the time,to record what?? Me telling shithead the truth? Me slapping someone who needs it? Oh that's right.. all those IVC stops I don't do. Never forget sitting in front of Corp Council one day and having her ask for a list of my assets. I started laughing and she gave me a stern "I don't see anything funny about this!" I recovered and politely told her that I was laughing at the fact that I'm here over pure and total FICTION without one substantiated claim,not one witness,photo,etc. Then I looked at her coldly and said "Don't worry you'll never ever see me here again." Never put myself in a position to be there..Oh by the way..They gave shithead $70,000.00!!!! For nothing!!!! Complete lie!! Everyone stay safe and do only the necessary!!
WHERE IS OUR CONTRACT!!!
Good thing the FOP put the city's offers on there website so we all know what they really think of us!!! Who needs to strike? Not us. We will still get paid to make the point.
You guys need a Dusan Popov, look him up and shake it up.
Just think of all the money the city will save on CPS since they can cut all those extra teachers after all the thug students eliminate themselves from our charity. (taxes)
Did someone say taxation without representation!
For that moron Carothers here is what de policing is:
De-policing is a "law enforcement strategy in which police avoid accusations of racial profiling by ignoring traffic violations and other petty crimes committed by members of visible minorities." 1 In a sense de-policing is the opposite of racial profiling
Last time I checked the city ordinance is that is what we are supposed to do. So shut the fuck up!
He you dumb fucking aldercreature here is the ordinace you dumb fucks passed that is the creation of your de-policing.
8-4-086 Prohibition against racial profiling.
No member of the Chicago Police Department or peace officer or security personnel (as those terms are defined in the Municipal Code of Chicago, Section 8-20-030) employed or engaged in their duties within the corporate boundaries of the City of Chicago shall use actual or perceived race, ethnicity, gender, religion, disability, sexual orientation, marital status, parental status, military discharge status, financial status or lawful source of income as the sole factor in determining the existence of probable cause to stop, question, place in custody or arrest an individual or in constituting a reasonable and articulable suspicion that an offense has been or is being committed so as to justify the detention of an individual or the investigatory stop of a motor vehicle.
(Added Coun. J. 6-6-01, p. 60144, § 1)
So of course everyone is de policing because thats what it is. To bad JFed wasn't up on the term prior to the meeting and he made something else up. He should have shoved it up ur dumb asses!
I have an idea how about approve a permit for a parade for a bunch of uncivilized mo fo's that don't know how to act and need all police officers day's off cancelled becuase of the future anticipation of this riotous event.
O never mind that has already been done for years in this backass backwards city.
Can't they just deny the permit or charge them and force them to pay for the national gaurd or something since they (the parade people) are the f^%$nig problem!
Where are the elected offials with those common sence statements?

How right you are, my dear. Actually locked up a couple of gang dispersed guys...went to court, and the lovely city attorney didn't even call their damn names out loud, just SOL'ed it. What is the fucking point? We run them off the corner, they come right back. We lock them up, they don't even show up for court, still nothing...same with the damn gambling, too. Branch 35 is a joke, and branch 38 is no laughing matter either...
Guys and girls......ITS WORKING!! Lets keep it up, take care of each other and back each other up.
Whew! My do nothing job is CAPS is safe!
Since everyone introduced themselves to the city council can anyone identify the two-year wonders that were seated behind Brust and Shields.
Looks like they'd make up a beat car to me.
"You, Telling me the things your gonna' do for me, I ain't blind and I don't like what I think I see".
They say "We have your back", WE DON'T BELIEVE YOU!
in addition to de-policing, officers who are denied lunch because of manpower and RAPs should put in a slip for 30 minutes overtime. you earned it. stop loving the job more than it loves you. dont believe the old story that they will let you go early some other time. it's a lie. for anyone who brags about being proud of working their lunch without asking for OT, it's not for the money or CU; it's the principle of it. all the OT you do for free is just money put back in daley's pocket. and it makes the boss look good for tricking you into working for free.

You DO NOT get paid for your lunch.
That is why you work an 8.5 hour tour.
The half hour is built in order for you to take a lunch period.
Check the labor laws.
Your 8 hour tour is paid by your salary, your 1/2 hour lunch is your time!
So, if you work your half hour without taking it off to eat, relax, etc. PUT IN A SLIP.
THEY OWE YOU 30 minutes!!!!!!
Wait a second , De- Policing .
Is that EBONICS ????
I don't get it. Corothers was going to hammer him and then they come out of the meeting smiling like J-fed had all the answers. Was anyone actually there that could say the Aldermen were tough on J=fed or did Daley get to Corothers first and put the Ka bashe on it?
Did Weis mention Leo S. by name as a gang expert?
Quote in the Sun-Times from J-Fed at the City Council hearings:
"I have heard from many officers that there is a degree of timidness -- that people are not maybe as engaged as they should be because of fears of lawsuits, fears of [complaints registered] being put against them by criminals and by other folks who are just trying to impugn their integrity," the superintendent said.
_______________________________
Fear of lawsuits and CR #'s? How about fear of YOU taking our livelihood away and doing everything you can (Cozzi)to put us in prison. If we lose our temper for a minute and crack someone, we will not only lose our job, but you, J-Fed, and the powers that be, will try to put US in jail. And if you lose, you will go to your fed buddies and have us indicted for civil rights violations. I can't wait to go do some police work for you.
The sleeping giant has awoken,(thanks to SCC) and it's the rank and file in the CPD. Keep up the good work.
It breaks my heart my friend Rick just died for this shit. I know he was noble, and what he was doing was noble. But had he been "just hurt" he had no special clout and he probably would have been pawned off to some bullshit LD unit ran by an asshole boss. While some Capt.'s big titty bitch Lorded over a station desk, having worked only a handful of days on the street her ownself.
Or had he shot that useless welfare breeder, "and I wish he had", he'd simply have been sued and vilified in the press. Even after retirement he would have had the suite hanging over him while the city would give him some 23yo, fresh out of Law School, to represent him. If the city had backed him at all.
Mostly tho I wish my friend had just kept driving and not stopped for that disturbance.
Man I dont want to see any other coppers get hurt for this bullshit cause it simply isn't worth it. With all the assholes running this show, and all the assholes in the audience, the show isn't worth one good mans life.
Their never going to make me an aggressive copper again. Not ever. These Bosses and Hacks will make noises trying to pump us up but in the end they will let you down.
They always do.
once a victim always a victim...they harassing me! or they ain't savin' me! go F yerselves I just found out how much I like doggin' it! :)
those tru #'s r bs, more bs from the puppetmasters to try and justify their moves, if the #'s were that bad they would have shut it down.
Area 4 has a black van with camera and is usually plugged into an outlet in the Area 4 garage. But, work is being done on the sprinklers there. Could be the same van temporarily parked in 016 during the work. The van is used to record surveillance of prop. crime offenders not us. Unless you are a prop. crime offender...
Does anyone have any idea what the International Olympic Committee thinks about all of this shooting, violence, gangbanging, bullet holes in downtown hotel rooms, turmoil, police with bad attitudes and the rest of this news?
Or are they just going to take the bribe money and vote their con$cience. $$$$$$$$$$
Can anyone name the arrogant Sgt. from financial crimes initials J.L. who is residing out of the city?
The folks down at Homan Sq. are keeping a tight lid on the secret of the new unit. Really? Huh? Some have leaked out though that TRU is the new "SOS" and that they are much more aggresive than ever before.
I think the new "SOS" is TRU. Yay! Yay! That's why you don't have the lame ass/dogasses anymore in TRU. We fucking got rid of da pukes! When they downsized by 90 po's, they only kept the best producers...REAL POLICE.
TRU is the new "SOS"...bank on it y'all!!! Fuck all y'all who said we weren't shit. Igot my SPOT, how bout you playa?
-TRU and PROUD
Im truly enjoying the fact that young officers (under 5 years) have already given up on this job.
NO CONTRACT ! NO GIVE A RATS ASS !
I've been de-contract !
if a sergeant puts on his/her log that a beat car had lunch when it did not, would that be considered filing a false police report? especially when it's on the radio that lunch was denied and it can be proven that the beat car had radio assignments from the beginning to the end of its tour? and after the officer files a grievance for being denied his/her rightfully earned OT? will the sergeant be indicted or fired for filing a false report? they are doing it everyday. . . .
TRU you are a joke and now everybody in the city knows it. I have zero respect for that unit and the 2 year wonder cops that work in it.
7/16/2008 07:01:00 AM
you are a moron there 1st and the 16 you don't do shit and expect others to pick up your slack. What you want tru to do all the work fuck you. All of the sudden j-fed throws out a number of statistics and he acts like its the gospel. All you dumbasses drinking the koola aid read between the lines. What does anyone that is not in tru know about the statistics for that unit pre-jody and during jody? Nobody knows. So all of you jump on the wagon against tru fine. He already planted the seed that someone whispered in his ear that sos should be brought back and get rid of tru. Fine then do it now before the summer is over before change day. I'm sure people are lining up for that unit. Oh since you take jody's word in high regard how are those m-4s and tahoes working out. I gotta go my radio is chirpping after 2 hrs at work.
1st and 16th said...
TRU you are a joke and now everybody in the city knows it. I have zero respect for that unit and the 2 year wonder cops that work in it.
Yeah! let's focus on TRU. they are the source of all our problems! Yeah! lousy TRU! Listen to the gospel of the 1st and the 16th! Yeah! TRU we don't like you! Yeah! We need a blog dedicated to TRU for bashing! Yeah! Lousy TRU!
As a full memebr with benefits of the KMA club, I must admit that even I am finding the crime rate in Chicago a little staggering.
Keep in mind that at my age and with everything I've been through, that just being on the job now is quite a feat. I have worked the worst Westside districts in the most tumultuous times, but I'm still here!
I've said it once and I'll say it again, the CPD needs to get it's balls back. We are rapidly becoming Detroit, MI. Sickening!
Too much Goddamn stress to just do ordinary policing on the criminals.
When I get home, I listen to Don Williams sing "I Believe In Love" and I feel better in seconds...
Just remember my young whipper snappers "That Superman and Robin Hood, are still alive in Hollywood"...
Chicago is over.
Hey Ike,
Morale was down before Jody, and it will be down after Jody..you stupid jackass!! Heeba Hobba Hooba.. you idiot. Those changes were the only thing that boosted my morale, because I got to see some goofs get demoted or launched.
The Alderman have NO room to complain. Just look at all the abandoned buildings especially in the 005th dist. at least 8-12 on each block. I would like an Alderman to respond to this problem and maybe to the media.
DE-POLICING: In the EBONICS Dictionary means........
The Police are doing their buisness as usual.
Example sentence:
Mans those mutha fuckas depolicing every muther fucka out in da streets.
Ike he know bout dat!
To 12:49 a.m. you are exactly right! I listend to some of the BS fest at city hall with J-fed and them talking about being down 500 guns recovered from last year. I do remember them(the bosses)telling our team if you have a large number of guns recovered in a one year period it will now trigger an investigation, "but don't worry guys, it's just procedure it doesn't mean anything, so keep on working." Yeah sure boss I know you will be there for me if I get some heat, right? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
This is just one of the problems. All the "wr watching you scare tactics" have taken effect. What the fuck did they expect. Do real police work, get too many guns, do too many search warrants, get too much dope and bad guys and you set off "red flags." "We will be watching you" is their message and now we are finally hearing it. What J-fed did to Billy Cozzie sent a strong message to all of us. Good job city and leadership your message has been received!! How about a good contract for once and not 2-3 years after it has expired! Stick together guys and give them as little as they give us! That may be a hard one to match!
Blagojevich: Chicago May Need National Guard Help
With gun violence at a crisis, Gov. Rod Blagojevich on Wednesday said he is in talks with Illinois State Police and the Illinois National Guard to see if more police officers can be deployed to the streets of Chicago.
The governor said Chicago Mayor Richard Daley hasn't asked for help, but Blagojevich says he'll call the mayor once he has some concrete suggestions about what help he can provide.
Blagojevich didn't have many specifics, but he said it's more likely that state police will be brought in than the National Guard.
Blagojevich also said there are a lot of retired Chicago police officers and state police troopers who could be rehired for the summer.
The story will be updated as more information becomes available.
NBC5.COM
de-police (dee-polees) - noun - ghetto slang for law enforcement officer aka the police.
"pookie was funna be a computer analistasizer untils de-police kilted him for no reason."
7/16/2008 12:29:00 AM
For the win!
off topic CBS news reports buckingham fountain to get 25 million dollar facelift. Michael Fus, park districts preservation architect says goal is to have it done by April 1st when members of the international olympic committee visit Chicago.
Still we have no contract, in fact we continue watch our contract erode.
To 7/16 @ 1:05am...You must work in 016.....Very Observant....and if you don't know what the van is..then you should shut the fuck up about it...Typical non policing busy body..Don't worry it's not watching you doing notinhg all night....although if it was 90% of the district would be out of a job.
They think that the "work slowdown" is bad now...HAHAHA...Just wait til the city screws us again on our contract. Of course, that's whenever they get around to giving us one.
This contract will be the worst one yet and there will be a major backlash that will be felt ten times what they are feeling now! A 1.1% raise offered by the city shows how they really feel about the job we do. Get ready brothers, they are going to take more away from us and give us even less. Forced residency with the cost of living in Chicago has gone up to a level that we will never get caught up to, but the politicians voted themselves cost of living increases. So life is just grand for them! When they screw us again it may be the final time. Even the few workers that are left will see the light. Remember, they are counting on us to be divided, so lets stay united! Keep up the good work and stay safe!
I WANT THE MEDIA TO KNOW THAT WERE UP 1500 AGG.BATT.W/FIREARM
my morale is way up , you can wear my uniform boss.
Hay 35th street the job sucks...No contract...Pension in trouble...Boss's bullies not leaders...Hours and days off suck still refused time due...You have nothing you can take away from us anymore...Now its our turn...Fuck you...
Call me all kind of names but Id vote for Carothers over Daley.
KEEP THE BOOT TO THE PROVERBIAL NECK MEN AND WOMEN!!! IT IS WORKING! CONGRATS ON A JOB (to this point) WELL DONE!!! BUT WE ARE FAR FAR FROM FINISHED!!
KEEP UP THE LACK OF VISIBILITY! KEEP UP THE DOING AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE! CONTINUE TO BALK AT THE "WE WILL LAUNCH YOU" THREATS LEVIED BY SCRAMBLING IN THEIR BOOT TACT LTS AND SGTS!
DISPERSALS WILL ONLY GET YOU SUED DOWN THE ROAD! DO NOT DO THEM!!! DO NOT VIOLATE CIVIL RIGHTS! GIVE THEM WHAT THEY WANT! OBEDIENT POLICE!!!
DID YOU KNOW THAT GOING INTO PANTS POCKETS DURING A STREET STOP IS A VIOLATION OF CIVIL RIGHTS NOT COVERED UNDER TERRY UNLESS YOU FIND SOMETHING... (and you better find something for the hidden cameras sake...)
DID YOU KNOW WHEN YOU SAY "COME HERE" THEY CAN, YES THEY CAN SAY "NO" AND KEEP WALKING AND THERES NOTHING YOU CAN DO!?
WHY RISK IT? WHY RISK YOUR HOME, YOUR CAR, YOUR LIVELIHOOD??? COLLECT YOUR PAY CHECKS AND LIVE WELL!! THATS WHAT THE OTHER SIDE IS DOING!! (delete the word "pay" rom paychecks however, and add "government")
OUR VOICES ARE BEING HEARD THE NUMBERS DO NOT AND WILL NOT LIE!!! UNTIL WE GET WHAT WE DESERVE... UNTIL WE GET WHAT THOSE WHO HAVE PAID THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE WOULD ADVOCATE FOR DO NOT BUDGE!!!
KEEP IT UP!!! NO CONTACT NO COMPLAINT!!!!
Officer Francis was a great guy... his death tragic (for lack of better words) why couldnt it have been sleepy G instead??? We will never know but now that I think about it... I guess god doesnt want sleepy G either
NEWS FLASH: Per channel 7 news at 4:30 the Governor wants to put state troopers on the streets of Chicago along with the a helicopter from national guards. Ya think they are now feeling the heat,well well,now you know how chicago police officers feel.But good luck with that state trooper thing and when they start getting false cr# for doing their jobs lets see/hear the outcry of trooper brutality.Then the state will then have ot put the national guards on the streets of Chicago until they get cr#'s and then what excuse will the reverands and the pols have left????????A mirror is all they will need too realize who is th blame. bunch of scumbags
Jody said that TRU's officers made 1.5 arrests per day, too bad the entire platoon goes in on that 1.5 arrest per day.
LOL.
TWO WORDS
"KING DALEY"
blago just offered the cpd the use of state police and national guard equipment. he specifically stated use of national guard helicopters. 1)the cpd helicopter was REAL effective flying high above the taste, so this makes no sense.
2)isn't the national guard a military unit, and isn't the military trained to kill and destroy? we shoot someone with a 9mm and the ghetto goes nuts. how about when the guard blasts someone with a rifle?
great idea blago
You all have Aunt Bea and in my department we have an 11th Ward HDO baby mama, whose baby daddy is married to someone else, being groomed for a "first" title.
Guess they don't like the white or black female who are respectable women.
The trash rises to the top.
By the way....remember to vote McCain.
You have to be kiddin! The Supt wants us to go out there and not be afraid, he will back us up, yet today, a new guy (just retired FBI Agent) was assigned to IAD as Director of Investigation. He is not a cop, does not understand what is going on with b.s. complaints against the police, does not understand that Department directives are a guide and that most of the time, common sense takes over, yet he is going to be investigating PO's. I hope he doesnt wear the uniform also!
Carothers (29th) called it "de-policing," a condition that exists when officers "stop doing their jobs" because they're afraid nobody has their back.
**And when Carothers said this, did anybody else notice that J-Fed DID NOT dispute this. He does not have our back. He wants us to go out there and be aggressive but again HE DID NOT say he or anyone on this department would have our back. Aggressive... Not.
He also basically said F* them if they don't want to be aggressive, I'll just start a unit and hope that they will pick up the slack. Never did he offer any suggestion of ways to improve morale. At this point, no matter what any boss says or does, whether I have a contract or not, I will not be aggressive.
They haven't had our backs for years and they never will. The brass only cares about themselves and their wealthly clout positions and glory. They want us to make them look good, but they will turn their backs on everyone of us in a second!
**You are so right!
I read about de policing and almost
de ate in my pants I was laughing so hard.
in addition to de-policing, officers who are denied lunch because of manpower and RAPs should put in a slip for 30 minutes overtime.
**Damn right you should. It is your right and you don't put in a slip, you're an idiot!
If they don't sign it and you don't grieve it, you're an idiot. You guys complain about the union giving away your rights, but when you can stand up for your rights, you don't. Time to start fighting.
Channel 7 news: Blago offered to send in the national guard & have the ISP assist in patrolling the neighborhoods through the summer. Politics at its best. Blago fronts the mayor on TV without giving the mayor the heads up. But Blago wants something in return.
Mayor Daley You should be embarassed! You can't run this city. You have proved your incompetence.
It might be that someone's noticed; the governor just offered to bring the State Police and National guard in to help out the Chicago Police.
Can you say 'buh-BYE' Olympics???
The politicians are doing exactly what they are paid to do...blame somebody else.
It is the way it is...the folks that rip into the hard working unappreciated officers of this city keep comparing them to the old days, the coppers back then handled stuff....
The city has grown,became more diversified and the department has shrunk.
The numbers say it all. We are stretched thin and the criminals know this.
Chitown was the murder capital of the world when we had all these specialized units running around, it didnt hold that title when we had 1000 more officers on the street.
Common sense, we all know this so just make sure that we watch each others back. WE ARE ALL WE HAVE.
It is US vs them, stay solid,be professional,back each other and go home to your families.
I'm finally earning the money I make.I have always felt we were under paid for the job we do.Now I ride around in a marked squad in uniform and I'm not doing a FUCKING THING! Thanks you LITTLE DICK MAYOR.
SCC, you should be ashamed to post a comment in which a female officer (and of exemtp rank) would be referred to as a tramp. Let's not forget that she is married to another exempt member of this Dept.
Wether the poster or anyone else here likes Cuello or not, she is a woman, and a married one at that.
If we can't respect each other, how can we expect the citizens and the Mayor to show us any respect?
I would like to see them have Keating talking about what he did or DIDN'T do at the TEST, way to go boy wounder!!!!!!!!!!!!

Too little too late. The powers to be let this occur and now they need to CPD back. The CPD had the highest homicide clearance rate in the US at one time, the most recovered guns in the US at one time and some of the finest officers in the US.
They disbanded some of the hardest hitting units that did the daily heavy lifting by disbanding SOS and the Public Housing Units. They disbanded the School Unit that insured our childrens safety while attending sshool. They dismantled the concept of the beat officer by gutting the districts of manpower. They took the incentive for hardwork away by insisting upon clout,nepotism,political favoritism,demographic selection and cronyism instead of competency in promotion.
They destroyed the morale by unjustly suspending,firing and publicly tarring and feathering honest working coppers. You lost some of the brightest minds and tarnished future ambitions by doing this. The CPD is large but small,you destroy one officer unjustly and you kill a piece of all of us.
My friends you have just begun to reap what you have sown.
7/16/2008 01:45:00 AM
You are right on! I was in Public Housing South and we had some of the highest arrests and got them under control even before they started closing the buildings. Then are hard work was rewarded by sending us back to the districts, with no bid to watch......Guys who were on days got sent to night and guys who need nights got sent to days or 3rd watch. They treat us like low life offenders!
Next start up School Patrol and Housing. Oh dump KEATING.

off topic but important to mention, has anyone who works in 016 noticed the black van parked in the watch commanders spot with the camera on the grill, it is plugged into an outlet and has been sitting facing the entrance for weeks!
7/16/2008 01:05:00 AM
You must not have went to TARA Training. Just do an Information Report.
I have been a Chicago Police Officer for over 22 years. In that time I have seen this once proud department deteriorate into the dysfunctional entity it now is. Years of police bashing by the media, the aldercreatures, and the citizens, coupled with never ending political promotions of incompetent fuck-ups, has brought this department to its knees.
After watching that uneducated, inarticulate fool Cuello speak at the recent city council hearings I am convinced we, as a department, are just about to hit rock bottom. She IS the epitome of what ails this department.
We as a department should band together and voice a vote of NO CONFIDENCE in Cuello and the rest of the malcontents who head this department. Let the citizens of this city know why their police don't police anymore. And let this city burn to the fucking grown I'm Aunt Bea will be right on the front line to save it.
Dear Carothers:
Moral is not down because J-Fed reshuffled commanders around. Most of us could care less who is the clout baby in the front office. Maybe you are demoralized because you did not get your usual input to those moves as in the past! Your influence did get your kid a cushy summer job with the water reclamation district thou! How many normal kids got those jobs? None!
Moral is down because we can’t trust our mayor and J-Fed showed his federal colors after just a few weeks after he screwed Cozzie just like he buddies screwed Ahern and turned tail.
We can’t trust you and your cohorts either. Instead of protecting the public some of your buddies ask at council hearings why the payout on the lawsuits is so small! Are some of your buddies in bed with the peoples law office along with those old hold overs from OPS? Have the new people at IPRA or IAD every prosecuted a violator of the sworn affidavit? No! Have the city attorneys ever gone after a perjurer in a civil lawsuit? No! Cover our backs? I don’t trust any of you people to stand behind me either!
Is it true that there was a high level meeting in the last week talking about cancelling all days off and calling back every police officer for election night and the three days afterward if Obama wins the White House? Are some of the people on the OEC worried that the possible rioting could make the first three years of the bulls championships look like child play and be on the level of 1968? Would you like to tell us now or are they going to keep that a secret till the Sunday before the election? Is this true or just a rumor?
Since there is so much de-Policing going on, looks like Blago wants to bring in the National Guard.... There goes the Olympics....
King Rich has to be a mumbling up a storm after Blago's public offer....
Go look at the FOP website under current contract proposals offered by the city in our next contract. ANOTHER REASON NOT TO DO SHIT. And I agree with 100% SCC. This is the type of police department they wanted!!!!!
7/16/2008 12:36:00 AM
No doubt. Plus the FOP's Capparrelli INVENTED depolicing way before Ald. Carothers ever thought of it.
The district I work in ran around 350 officers on the Strength Report 10 years ago. This is a hard number because I saw those reports.
These days the same district runs around 270 officers. Ten years ago we had 2 man cars on everything and all cars were manned. today it is all one man cars.
Were did those 80 officers go? The alderman never noticed but it was beat realignment without calling it that. Just run under strength and steal the bodies for other units, SOS and then TRU etc.
Also the City leaves the department run under strength and under budget and it is a way to plug budget holes. consider this, 10 officers is about 1 million dollars in the budget, 100 officers is around 10 million, 1,000 officers is around 100 million, 1,500 officers is around 150 million dollars.
That is why the department is running under strength. The former brain trust either told the Mayor, or were told by the Mayor, to do the job with less because there were budget holes.
It isn't much of a mystery, that is it. Every department has their own shortages. Run shorthanded and perform under budget or the Mayor will get someone who will do your job with no complaining.
I am surprised no reporter has gotten hold of the Strength Reports from around 10 years ago and from current times. These reports will tell the tale and show exactly how many bodies the department has.
You can bet the mortgage that the department will not get up off these reports without being forced to do so. You can also bet that these reports are shredded exactly on their retention period and not allowed to linger.
Dulay use to tell us to get event numbers when no one was on the corners. What the fuck?
First off, Jfraud did not make a lot of changes he shuffled the deck only. Maybe at best he made 6 changes, Go back SCC and take a look at the order. We have most of the same goofs who were never the Real police.
This is good, just seen on the Tribune web site:
Gov: Chicago may get troopers, National Guard
By DON BABWIN | Associated Press Writer
5:14 PM CDT, July 16, 2008
CHICAGO - Gov. Rod Blagojevich on Wednesday raised the possibility of bringing in state troopers or even the Illinois National Guard to help Chicago combat a recent increase in violent crime -- an offer that Mayor Richard Daley didn't know was coming.
Appearing at signing ceremony for a bill that toughens the penalty for adults who provide guns to minors, Blagojevich said "violent crime in the city of Chicago is out of control."
"I'm offering resources of the state to the city to work in a constructive way with Mayor Daley to do everything we can possibly do to help ... stop this violence," said the governor.
/////
I think he would first have to get them back from Iraq and Afghanistan. Anyone know how many Illinois National Guard units are deployed?
Check out this article and the exchange of comment below it:
http://blogs.chicagoreader.com/politics/2008/07/16/complaints-about-complaints/#comments_last
Said van in said lot...gone tonight.
Well Richie you got yourself and our City into one fine mess. Now we have the SCUMBAG Governor offering the help of the State Police to help curb the crime. You think the International Olympic Committee is taking notice? Next time you want to hand out jobs to dumb, incompetent, worthless hacks tell them to work somewhere other than the Police Dept. You see, if you have not yet noticed all of the "ASSHATS" you have promoted to the exempt ranks lack one very important trait: LEADERSHIP! All of your appointed people from 1st Dep Sup on down could not lead a kindergarden class on a bathroom break. It's a good thing our City is "CLEAN" though.
HEY MEDIA!!! USE YOUR POWERS AND DO A FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST ON POLICE MANPOWER. PERSONNEL RECORDS!!!
As a police officer watching that farce of a question and answer session with out fed Top cop and illiterate aldercreatures I was appalled and insulted by the lies and absurdity of it all!
Make the request. How can under 10,000, POLICE a city this size???
We are lucky if we have 1500 cops on the street for the entire city on any given watch on any given day! That could be generous. Maybe another 500 inside on those same shifts doing office work!!!
3rd watch (evenings most) 1 st watch (midnights least) 2nd watch (days) by far most working but least on the street in a car!!!
It's working!
Don't do any work.
TRU you are a joke and now everybody in the city knows it. I have zero respect for that unit and the 2 year wonder cops that work in it.
if TRU was as good as they say they are, there would be no problems at all....just a bunch of wannabes that think making 1 arrest makes them top dog. All they are,are glorified ppo's
Where have all the LEADERS gone? STOP promoting these pieces of crap. If you actually used MERIT spots to promote LEADERS maybe this department would have direction and be worth a crap.
They say you can't get three coppers to agree on a lunch location. Well I guess they were wrong. The kitchen is just warming up boys and girls!
I love that we are FINALLY all fed up and making a point. But please....tell me that you are kidding in these posts when I read BAD PDT's are a morale killer...
ARE YOU KIDDING!!!??
Domestic related HBT incident in 025, no cars available, sgt. responds 99, no back up. victim runs out, offender barricades. SWAT and lots police on scene for over 3 hrs. If 2 P/Os showed up the offender could have been grabbed right away and it would have been over. Middle of the day and no cars????WTF
I know that every officer is doing their job as they always have. Unfortunately in some instances our hands are tied by the law and we of course are not going to break the law that we swore to uphold. We work within the law that our legislators provide for us. Maybe people should be looking at the judges that throw cases out because the officer is on furlough or has multiple court cases at the same time. The judge in branch 42-2 (a felony branch) throws everything out if the officer is not present, regardless of why. As an officer that tells me that even though I am doing my job, this judge could care less if I am at 26 & California at the grand jury. This tells me that I can only make a certain number of felony arrests so I can be at all my court dates. I do not make arrests so that some judge can just throw it out because I am on a well deserved vacation or at another court location. Our system is a joke. I don;t care if our prisons are over loaded with criminals. crime is crime and all these people see is that in Chicago, short of killing someone there is no real penalties. Shame on the judges that make the system ineffective.

Whatever you think about govner blow job, he sure knows a clean, line of sight shot to the midget's ass when he sees one.
"Wether the poster or anyone else here likes Cuello or not, she is a woman, and a married one at that.
If we can't respect each other, how can we expect the citizens and the Mayor to show us any respect?

Dulay use to tell us to get event numbers when no one was on the corners. What the fuck?

Dulay gone and now you have a real leader. mealer the conspiracy nut. Everyone out to get him. JFED has not clue about his exempt staff.
Is it true that there was a high level meeting in the last week talking about cancelling all days off and calling back every police officer for election night and the three days afterward if Obama wins the White House? Are some of the people on the OEC worried that the possible rioting could make the first three years of the bulls championships look like child play and be on the level of 1968? Would you like to tell us now or are they going to keep that a secret till the Sunday before the election? Is this true or just a rumor?

Why are you concerned with November? Who cares? if there are problems we have Aunt Bea and Sgt. keating to coordinate plans. get a life.
Barack Obama Bin-Laden says---
"...there is the possiblility of rioting if Obama wins the election..."
What do you mean "if" I win the election, infidel? It's "when" I win the election.
The riots will simply be the first part of the jihad. I can then nationalize the Illinois Guard, outfit them with turbans, and turn them loose on you unsuspecting Christians.
Change you can believe in.
"...calling an exempt member of the department a tramp..."
I wouldn't consider her a tramp. It's one thing to have an affair with a high-ranking married member, but to conceive, give birth, and raise the child is another.
Then you have living proof against him and be able to get what you want. I call that brilliant.
Check the labor laws.
Your 8 hour tour is paid by your salary, your 1/2 hour lunch is your time!
So, if you work your half hour without taking it off to eat, relax, etc. PUT IN A SLIP.
THEY OWE YOU 30 minutes!!!!!!

Domestic related HBT incident in 025, no cars available, sgt. responds 99, no back up. victim runs out, offender barricades. SWAT and lots police on scene for over 3 hrs. If 2 P/Os showed up the offender could have been grabbed right away and it would have been over. Middle of the day and no cars????WTF

**Wouldn't bother me a bit. I'll do what I have to do. I'll take my time responding to my jobs and even longer writing paper. I'll take my two personals and 1/2 hour lunch. I'll assist every handwaver there is. I can fill 8 1/2 hours with bullshit.
