J-Fed is Toast
We've been pretty merciless in our criticism of the Superintendent. We've pointed out missteps, outed political hacks that have been promoted way beyond their abilities and ripped him for some truly bad decisions that circumvent contract protections.
We've also written a couple of articles about how J-Fed should really take corrective action. Empty out HQ harems, disband useless and redundant spots, automate, upgrade, and stick it to the City Council by telling the aldercreatures in no uncertain terms to mind their own business, support the police and tell their constituencies to straighten up their own houses.
It would appear on the surface all of that is out the window:

It would appear on the surface all of that is out the window:
The mayor held a heated one-on-one meeting with his new superintendent Monday -- followed by at least two sessions that included other agency chiefs -- to find out why police were apparently overwhelmed by gangs and crowds at Taste of Chicago.
"It wasn't quiet," a mayoral confidante said of Daley's tone.
So evidently, Jackie Heard has been calling her tame reporter Fran Spielman and begun the heavy-handed process of either making a round peg fit into a square hole or destroying J-Fed. It is the Daley way after all. Whatever the outcome, J-Fed is through. He'll still have "authority" to mete out punishment and such, but the message to the exempt staff is loud and clear. Hell, the message to everyone in the Department is clear - play ball with the mayor, don't embarrass the mayor, kowtow to the mayor and everything will be fine.
We're going to go out on a limb here and predict that very shortly there will be an alternate chain of command set up - a "shadow regime" if you will - that will handle day-to-day operations outside of J-Fed's people (if there isn't already). J-Fed and Brust can play dress-up and pretend they're really making a difference in the safety of ordinary Chicagoans in the face of rising crime rates, but the reality is this:

- Daley, Weis and the "meri-clout-orious" Command Staff have done something unheard of in the history of the Chicago Police Department. They've taken a diverse group of people who, for the most part, want to make life better for hundreds of thousands of citizens, and just about completely beaten the desire to serve out of each and every one of them.
- A perfect storm of incompetent leadership, no contract, half-hearted representation and almost no promise of a happy ending (no social security, no pension, no medical care, etc.) has stretched and finally broken this Department.
- Manpower? Down. Tickets? Down. Arrests? Down. Revenue? Down. Guns? Down. Search Warrants? Down. Crime? Up - and up double digits with no end in sight. In fact, no end in sight to any of the listed shortfalls.
Hey J-Fed? You see that flash of light in the corner of your eye? That's your career dissipation light. It just went into high gear.

As the G-boys say, J-Fed is nothing more than "an empty suit".
In what this weasel claims to be his own painstaking exempt selection process, he wouldn't dare use an IQ test for fear that most of those that surround him are borderline morons with little, if any, actual street experience as the police.
Our only hope is that U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald and the Justice Dept. drag King Richard II kicking and screaming out of City Hall or an Act of God.
Perfect shitstorm is right! I wonder if Cline and Hilliard sit back and laugh their asses off at j-fed, thinking what a fool. The only problem is that we havent hit rock bottem yet kids. We need to watch out as it isn't he fall that is going to kill us but the sudden stop at the end...
I find this amusing. JFED comes in thinking he is going to clean house, makes all these changes, fucks with good coppers and thinks that by doing this he will have the mayors full support. Oh yeah, guess he didnt know how the Daley machine worked. Daley will use him as a scapegoat and send him packing in a hurry. He isnt going to take heat from the reverends or the downtown richy folks when they whine about the shootings, hes going to put it on weis. Its the Daley way. That being said, I enjoy watching weis fail, he came in thinking his shit didnt stink and that he could run this dept and make multiple changes. Well u pissed off the working coppers JODY so u fucked yourself early. Expect the crime rates to continue rising, because we have no intention of making u look good. Enjoy the flight back to philly, I think its in your immediate future! Oh and thanks for visiting Chicago
Mr. Weis:
Assuming you are a man of honor, dignity and integrity, can you put a price tag on the sacred?
More and more of us believe you are already Daley's latest bitch ho.
Prove us wrong.
Has anybody forgotten about the "wiz kid" Masters, who knows NOTHING about the CPD. Who advises the Supt.I wonder if this 32 year old dork had his assed chewed out.Does anyone remember the movie Braveheart,,when the king's son tells him that his "friend" Phillip is skilled in the "art of war"...sound familiar.I think king Richard is about to throw the whole crew out of the window for incompetence.
No aspersions on your pet cat, J-Fed.
YOU ARE ONE BIG PUSSY!
DOH! i wouldn't write a ticket for this city, includes movers parkers, & movers. Arrests, signed complaints only!! other then that FORGET IT!! let it burn. remember one thing.... Cincinnati same is going on here. The goofy w/c said the commander wanted activity from a certain west side problem block. i nearly laughed to death. i told this w/c that the commander can go out there with the caps office and have at.
The liberal bitches complaint about brutality here? Check out Russia.
From the TheMoscowTimes.com:
Police Accused of Beating 5 Young Men for 5 Hours
Shuster Investigators have opened a criminal case into a group of police officers accused of brutally beating five young men for five hours at a Moscow police station in April, two officials said Thursday.
"The officers were ideologically driven. While beating the teens up, they used all kinds of nationalistic insults," said the rights activist, Lev Ponomaryov.
He said the police did not like their casual dress and haircuts.
The April 4 incident began when Vsevolod Ostapov was stopped by police officers for drinking a beer in public outside the Sokolniki metro station in northeast Moscow, according to complaints filed with the Prosecutor's Office, copies of which were obtained by The Moscow Times.
Four of Ostapov's acquaintances -- Kirill Karyazin, 25, Simon Ovcharenko, 18, Oleg Kolesnikov, 18, and Oleg Dobrazhansky, age unspecified -- came to his aid, and they all were taken to a police station, the complaints said. Boris Rashupkin, 17, a passerby, was also detained. Once in the station, the officers punched and kicked the detainees and assaulted them with stun guns and batons for five hours, the complaints said.
Shortly after the incident, the police's internal affairs department ruled that the officers' conduct was legal because they had "attempted to prevent a mass fight," Vremya Novostei reported Thursday.
The police's internal safety department seconded the decision, saying the young men were detained for "disturbing the public order," the report said.
The case will also be heard by Moscow police chief Vladimir Pronin, who has promised to deal with the accused police officers, Ponomaryov said.
"Hey J-Fed? You see that flash of light in the corner of your eye? That's your career dissipation light. It just went into high gear."
--------------
The guys got a 3 year contract.
You think he gives a fuck?
No matter what happens, after 3 years he writes a book (hopefully rating out Daley) and moves on to another "big paycheck law enforcement job".
The city and the union keep shaking hands and winking at one another as they piss away our benefits. What they fail to realize is that, ultimately, the beat cop holds the trump card- we stop caring, the voters START caring, and politicians finally may have to realize that they better support us or they will be out. Let's see, a marathon that was a complete debacle, a taste that was... a complete debacle... man, I may go to bud billiken this year just to see the show!
is Lt. Jim still on his fraud & deception medical tour?
revenue will continue to fall i am done writing any tickets be it mover or parker! tyhe jagoff mayor needs to go to jail! Mancow was just on wlsam radio with jim laski former clerk, laski talked about the "criminal inc" daley family and that he talked to a u.s. attorney that told laski they have things on daley but no one will testify as when they get out prison they all get great jobs! hope sorich while he is rotting thinks abouth this why fall on the sword for a criminal like daley? Why did daley give rosie andolino victor reyes former gofer the o'hare project, big salary cars drivers no skill at all except for knowing what victor wants on his sandwich, guess victor taught her well how to keep quiet and fill the pockets!
Hey J-Fed? You see that flash of light in the corner of your eye? That's your career dissipation light. It just went into high gear.
SCC you couldnt have said it better
Amen SCC. It's sad that in my very young youth (preteens, teens) I wanted to be the police to help others. I never would have imagined that citizens would second guess me after I just saved their asses. It's really sad.
A big FUCK YOU to the mayor and his ilk. You can't make me generate revenue. How about you make good on your statements at our FALLEN BROTHER'S funeral? I believe you stated something to the effect of 'we owe police officers a great deal of gratitude...' How about some gratitude in the form of a decent contract and cost of living increases in this TAX SOAKED PISSHOLE OF A CITY?
I feel better now, thanks.
"J-Fed is Toast"
?
'Warm buttery toast?'
Grab your ankles, Jody!
I guess I sort of feel bad for J-Pecks, but how can he had not see this coming ????
as an outsider[retired po],your comments seem to be the most accurate and definitve description of the dangerous and ridiculous situation-hope that it's considered by decision makers-my respect to all sccs
Jody,
Do the right thing for Cozzi and Mette before you leave.
Someone please explain why Gov
Bag-o-garbage approved raises for himself and others based on the ecomonic formula of COLA (Cost of Living Adjustment) to 3.8% ($14,000raise) and our "Union" has asked for a first year raise of 3%!!! The City has offered 1.1%!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!! Since the cost of living in SHITcago has gone up WAY higher then the COLA figure of 3.8% shouldn't we get at least that? I am tired of this Department, City and FOP bullshit!!! Based on $68,000 a year the City offered a $750 raise! That doesn't even cover the fucking sales tax I would pay in SHIT-cago to feed my family for the year...if I shopped here,LOL!
They want to take away the Uniform money too!!!! J-Fed (Aka Exempt PPO) you are not toast. You, like most of the idiots in the City have taken a large sum of cash from the City while we fight for peanuts!!!!! Toast? We are the ones who are toast. FUCK THIS CITY!!!!
Backdraft, that was a great f*cking movie.
You know who could do a movie for the drama playing out right now with this department: Michael Mann. That guy is an incredible writer/director: (Heat, Ali, Miami Vice, Collateral, etc.). He's a Chicago guy to boot.
My guess is, J-Fed is thinking; what the heck did I get myself into? Everyone told me I would just be another Daley Puppet.
Why didn't I listen?
Running a Big City Police Dept., with a "Despot" for a boss, is complicated. Plus I have to be politically correct. Truth is the adverage PO Pushing a Beat Car everyday has already figured it out. Trying to Serve and Protect is too dangerous.
Do only what is absolutley nessecary.
Weis' ass might be on the hot seat right now, but mumbles will not get rid of him because of his ego and it will make him look bad because he picked him personally.
The very fact that Daley's head is going to explode over the taste of chicago makes me chuckle and know that we are winning the game. The pendulum will swing back in our direction soon boys and girls.
The one thing the J-Fed did in his short tenure here is finally unite the troops against the machine/merit hacks.
No contract = No contact.
Hey Daley, do you know what a myocardial infarction is? You better look it up, because you are gonna give yourself one soon.
XD
Can I have my job back when J-FED's gone?
hey tina, you were calling out all those drinkers to arrest at the south side irish parade, why not the mob of gangbangers at the taste?
I believe Weis actually thought he could come in here and make a difference, and I also believe he truly wants to do what is right. However, a city department is a different animal than the feds. Different resources, different personnel, and different problems. What he needs to understand, is the problems of this department are deep rooted and tend to be political, not professional. Regretfully, this job has become us versus them. We are beaten down and this is the culmination of bad unions and bad politicians. My suggestion is wholesale changes, not shuffling, go out in a blaze of glory and take some pointers from underlings. Do what is right and everything else will work its way out, because he can gain more allies from working bosses and police officers than from the political hacks jockeying for his spot. I really don't want him to fail, because then we fail, No - I want the political cronies to fail, I want the BS reverends to fail, and most of all, I want the alderthiefs to fail. Weis is not our problem, this city's politics are.
i dont know why mayor daley just didn't appoint john keating in the first place............
Dear J-Fed.
I'm really sorry that your days are numbered in chicago as our superintendent. I,liked your changes and given a chance to be your own boss and not a puppet for the mayor this city might have had a chance...all the mayor's cronies are putting the heat on the mayor so they can get there clout jobs back. Don't go down without a fight! Put the squeeze on the mayor and get us some help on the streets!....no more smoke and mirrors....we need more manpower!
CAPS is ALL smoke and mirrors,cut that office only in half and we'll have a little more help! I'm tired of seeing 8th Dist Caps office shopping at Ford City when I could use the help on the street!!!
Mayor Mumbles said that WEIS has always been known as an excellent police officer. Huh? Here's a question that Mayor Mumbles will understand: Since when did always begin? You fucking dope!
J-Fed is BURNT toast.
He'll get shit canned, write a tell all book, make millions and make out better than any one of us who have worked our whole career on this department.
Whether you agree with me or not, these are my views. Weis was hired by Daley and knew his background. Every command change probably came from city hall. Daley screwed up and has but himself to blame. You can make anyone a top boss anywhere, even if they have no clue what the business does. What you nedd is a competent staff to guide you with the best decisions to run that company, even if it's the police department. The problem is all the command staff that had any knowledge was busted or launched.
The fault does not lie with the Superintendent. He was hired to root out corruption. Unfortunately the Superintendent was never a street cop and does not have the background to run the department effectively. I'm not saying he is not trying, but someone with actual street experience in a city this large would have done better. The mayor is the one to blame. He hired Weis to root out corruption. Superintendent Weis may be qualified for that but not everyday problems of policing and planning. When he came in he sought the resignations of top brass that were highly qualified in handling day to day police activities. He replaced almost every district Commander with people that for the most part didn't have the background for command experience. He replaced major command staff with people who were less qualified than those replaced. The department is dangerously short manpower and constantly borrowing police from other districts when a district has major incidents tying up the cars from the district involved. We have units that instead of patrolling just some areas and not handling calls when they should be assigned to patrol to answer the calls in all districts. The CAPS program is a useless waste of manpower in the districts. The 5-15 police officers assigned to the CAPS program in districts and at headquarters should be on returned to patrol and CAPS should be disbanded. All it is there for is show. It does nothing to reduce crime. The fact the mayor brought in someone who took a police officer who was disciplined years ago for an incident, then had federal charges brought against him effected every police officer. The police now are in fear of doing proactive police work, which results in complaints, even though they are unsubstantiated. Now the feeling is even thoough you get a complaint and you are found not at fault, what is there to stop it being re-opened in the future and you are found in violation even though the complaint was unfounded. I know we have had a rash of corruption and major violation with certain police officers, but that doesn't mean you go after every police officer in the department. 99 percent of police are honest and believe in the job they do. We needed a Superintendent that knew the streets and still fight corruption in the department where it is necessary, but not blanket the whole department. We needed a Superintendent that knew the supervisors and their backgrounds personally. When you make major command changes without knowing the person's background, you are asking for problems. That and the fact you pushed out command staff that had the knowledge to guide the department and advise the Superintendent correctly because of their vast knowledge hurt the department even further. The mayor may fault the Superintendent, but the fault lies in the fact that the problem started when a Suprintendent was hired who did not have the knowledge of the workings of the police and the background of being a police officer on the street. I doubt if the input for all the command changes and the loss of highly qualified high ranking supervisors was just the choice of the superintendent and not with the help of the mayor.
Talked to some FORMER & CURRENT G_MEN:
They all agrre that J-FED is a complete ASS. Has been and always will be. Was not like even by FED standards. A Rat-BA#$@%D
People, please, for your families, pension, and freedom... Don't do shit!!!
It's a well known fact that not only was there not enough man power at the Taste that the Det. and inside people sent were useless. Say what you want about Tac/Gang teams they will at least do their jobs. The detectives stood there and wined about being there and the inside people were too scared to do anything. Don't send a boy to do a man's job.
Just curious since when were bosses appointed as "Administrative Lts" or "Tact Lts.". They are just Lts and should have been assigned to the street at one time or another to know how to make common sense decisions. I'm sorry I'm thinking practically, what's wrong with me.
Mrs. Weis will soon see what it is like to be left out in the cold, alone without any of your fellow officers there to back you up. He has continued the trend to leave officers on their own to be eaten alive by ungrateful citizens, overzealous prosecutors, and a blood thirsty media. I hope he is gone before he disgrace the city any more.
It must be a humbling experience to be chewed out by a short, sloppy dumb ass when you used to be a big, bad G-Man. Chewed out by a guy that never had to earn anything in his life. A connected Chicago guy who is as dirty as they come, chewing out someone who made law enforcement his career.
Welcome to Chicago.
Daley was behind the dept leadership shakeup and now j-fed is ging to walk the plank.. it is all over for j-fed.. watch for him to become a full time emergency reponse mananger... so much for those all star leaders like aunt" My radio" Bea..
SO long to the IOC and it's 2016 games .The joke is on daley and all the alder asswipes haha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Under Daley's regime, the CPD has become a train wreck. There is absolutely no hope for morale, integrity and professionalism unless and until the CPD is released from his clout (aka: "merit") stranglehold.
Even then, it would require an autonomous outsider to initiate any meaningful reforms.
The appointment of Jody P. Weis as police superintendent is a catastrophic failure. If Weis has any pride, dignity and self-respect, he would resign, probably citing disingenous "personal reasons".
However, Weis does have formidable leverage. If he was publicly forthcoming and the media ran with it, it could ignite a firestorm of taxpayer protest by all but the beneficiaries of Daley's corrupt largesse and the brain dead. Untold thousands fall into the latter category and Daley knows it.
Don't hold your breath.
It's all his fault..and our fault that black people shoot and kill with reckless abandon.
Anything less than that is a lie.
I think the self life of the gallon of milk I have in my refridgerator is longer than J-Fed has as Supt.
I just got off the phone with a friend of mine that works for CLTV. As of now they are planning on carrying the grilling of the alderman of J-Fed live next week
OK........following PDs are Hiring in the next two months..........Here are the links........If I wasn't retired and had only a few years on I'd leave.........

play ball with the mayor, don't embarrass the mayor, kowtow to the mayor and everything will be fine.
How about FUCK the mayor! Good luck to that shithead forcing ANYONE to do his personal wishes after ensuring an unlubed morale fuck, financial fuck and tax fuck of this department and it's members, not to mention the citizens of this city.
Eat shit Daley, you earned it, now wallow in it little boy.
You shouldn't have f*cked with Cozzi.
That was the straw that broke the camel's back when it came to morale within the dept.
Cozzi was wrong but paid for his sins and it was taken a step further by you.
Jody Weis is now like a stick of butter sitting in the hot summer sun. Which does go well with toast also.
Good evening, Mister Mayor.
Tonight, we have prepared an extraordinary and exotic seafood delight just for you. A full pufferfish almondine in a drawn butter sauce with truffles and shallots.
Bon appetit!
Don't worry J-Fed its not all your fault, its the mayor. The mayor is your typical democratic politician "its not my fault its everyone elses". The mayor will move or fire you if you step out of line.
J-Fed you came in here with your idealistic views, its the FBI way. That is what is different from FBI guys and police officers. Police deal with reality.
Sociologists can go on and on about why people turn to gangs and violence. Police have to deal with the reality of the mess.
Unfortunately, sociologist and politicians have average americans believing that the police are bad. The police need good leadership. They need to go back to being the police. You create civil unrest and the police beat your ass.
"Manpower? Down. Tickets? Down. Arrests? Down. Revenue? Down. Guns? Down. Search Warrants? Down. Crime? Up"
My stress level? Down. My concern level? Down. My overall workplace happiness because of all of this? Up.
Baby Dick can do whatever he wants to Weis, but I'll bet in the end there's a reckoning.
I'll bet that even in this short amount of time, Jody's learned where a LOT of bodies are buried.
I wonder what FASCINATING things Weis would have to say before a Federal grand jury...
I really don't think J-Fed is toast. I really think that the Department has hit its breaking point and J-Fed took control at a terrible time. We are extremely short handed and the Mayor does not seem to care ,but then again his reputation regarding issues mentioned shows he never did. Hey Daley all these years of treating us like stepchildren and we are not needed has blown up in your face. Good Luck with the Olympics. Not!!!!!!
O.T.
How come when the Commisioner of the CFD retires or moves on, his replacement is announced on the same day. No big search and interview process is done. But when the Sup of the CPD is replaced it is a long drawn out process the takes months to do. Daley has done this each time the CFD needs a new Comm.
And they wonder why the CFD doesn't make many changes
I personally don't like J-Fed and will never recognize him as our leader but how on earth is the waste of chicago shooting his fault??? There was a shooting/murder 2 or 3 years ago when old Ralphieboy was dep. chief and lil dicky's close friend jimmy k. was the commander of 001. How come dicky and the alderscum didn't place blame on that one?
J-Fed will not leave until his 3 years is up. Da Mayor will not break the contract. I have a feeling you're going to see some exempts get switched again... musical chairs. J-Fed can switch all he wants, he'll find out that NONE of our exempts are competent.
If suspending, arresting or stripping coppers is success then I guess Weis and Daley are successes.
Oh, there is the fest shootings, rise in murder rate and other crimes. Bur so what, we took care of the bad copper situation, ruined careers and lives and as long at Jody and Richie did't upset the gangbangers and got to blame the fest shootings on the police then all is well for the whore polititians and our little
g-man.
Mr. Supt, what was the mayor mad about, didn't fuck enough coppers this week?
Everyone for the most part thinks that J-Fed should be out.
Who do you think should take over?
If it was you making the picks, who would be apoint as your top 5 people?
HAY DALEY FUCK YOU!!!! POLICE MORALE IS IN THE SHITTER BECAUSE OF ASSHOLES LIKE YOU AND ALL YOUR CORRUPT ALDERAHOLES!! THIS IS WHAT YOU WANTED!!! NO MORE PROACTIVE POLICE WORK!! WHERE IS OUR CONTRACT YOU AHOLE? ITS ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE, BECAUSE YOU HAVE A CITY OF PISSED OFF COPPERS THAT WANT YOU TO LOOK LIKE SHIT!!! SCREW YOUR OLYMPICS!! I AM JUST GLAD NO REAL CITIZENS WHERE HURT AT THE TASTE!! LET THESE ANIMALS KILL EACH OTHER!!!
The very fact that Daley's head is going to explode over the taste of chicago makes me chuckle and know that we are winning the game. The pendulum will swing back in our direction soon boys and girls.
-----------------------
Don't be fooled into thinking the people in this city support you now because some thug got kilt at the Taste. They don't support you. They don't like you. They don't care about you or your job or your complaints. You are just fat, lazy, stupid, corrupt villians. The few that may support you keep silent. Fuck them.
These citizens will sit on a jury and let career criminals go free, then they'll sit on another jury and award your money to the criminal. They destroyed police morale. A police department cannot survive without the people's support. This department died a few years ago. Its already dead, there's no bringing it back. The citizens thought cops in jail would solve the city's problems. Daley supported the copper bash. He gave the citizens of this city what they wanted. Now they all have to live with the consequences.
They deserve to get killed.
J-Fed's next move is to fry some coppers. Feed the frenzy. Get the citizens back on his side. Make him unfirable. Another "scandal" will push all this crime statistics bullshit right off the TV.
Watch yourself. The citizens want criminals punished, but you are still the criminals. The thugs in the street with guns and drugs in their pockets are the victims.
"Daley made it clear that Orozco alone would be the city's quarterback at disaster scenes.
That's an apparent comedown for Police Supt. Jody Weis, who was hired at an unprecedented, $310,000-a-year salary to wear two hats: superintendent and chief emergency officer."
NBC5
"Weis reportedly made no mention of shaking up his command staff. But that’s another possibility after the rookie superintendent got an earful from Mayor Daley this week about the Taste of Chicago debacle that threatens to burst Chicago’s Olympic bubble.
First Deputy Superintendent Jim Jackson, a former district commander who leapfrogged to the No. 2 job, could be among the first to go, sources said.

AKA: The Obama Gazette
7/11/2008 11:21:00 AM....... "it isn't he fall that is going to kill us but the sudden stop at the end..."
truer words were never spoken!
J-Fed was overheard muttering that the midget told him to think about Hari Kiri and it had nothing to do with baseball or a place to eat.
HILARIOUS: The next time you see our lil boss dictator mayor making a public address watch the poor boobs standing behind him. He laughs, they laugh, he growls, they growl and sneer. Assorted ball-less morons without an original in their heads nodding in agreement to anything the lil stuttering a-hole says. How do they look at themselves in the mirror at the end of the day. I actually pity them. An pity the poor Chicago taxpayers all the more
So now that everyone is uniting, maybe everyone will vote in the next union election. Just think of it. Everyone united backed by a union who cares. "Viva the revolution".
The only servin' I wanna be lappin' up is soft serve!

Even "11-Dub" can't find me!
Remember, when he signs his contract he also signs a resignation letter that is undated. Just so the mayor could send him packing when he wants. But really, can the mayor afford searching for a new supt. with the IOC people in and out of the city? If we go through another nationwide seach, that could take months. Months that the 2016 organizers don't have.
Jfed and Huberman, the only thing worse than affirmative action. One destroyed police the other cta. Both promised his honor they were gonna do more for less.But did less while they got more.
If only he would have redeployed swat and put desk people on street.
7/11/2008 02:27:00 PM
Why would anyone on this dept want to stick their neck out and do anything? Those gangbangers needed a good ass whooping at the Waste of Chicago. But, society says if you put your finger on these future doctors you will suffer the consequences. So, let them be the animal they are. When the BHLs come crying... just say thats what you wanted.
"You see that flash of light in the corner of your eye? That's your career dissipation light. It just went into high gear."
I just spit coffee out of my nose. That is hysterical.
My friend is tight with a big boss who was at meeting. He said jfed was almost crying. Dont get me wrong Im no fan of the mayor but this only proves a runt from Chicago is tougher than a workout nut fed.
I don't agree that everything is Weis' fault. He just does not know the department. Danny Dugan should be the First Deputy to assist with getting this department back on track. He is the real police and is great at his job. His voice needs to be heard. Petersen is also ok. Jackson is a nice guy but is over his head. We are all blue and need to stick together. All of this negativity is a shame. I came on this job 14 years ago because I had so much respect for the police and believed in the brotherhood. I am really sad to see what this department has turned in to. it is not the fault of the Superintendent, but those that led before him. The department has been going down for a while now. I blame it on people taking the job for the wrong reason. Those that believed in true blue are leaving or have given up. We need to work ourselves at getting the job back to the way it was years ago. Remember those that made the ultimate sacrifice.
I believe Weis actually thought he could come in here and make a difference, and I also believe he truly wants to do what is right. However, a city department is a different animal than the feds. Different resources, different personnel, and different problems. What he needs to understand, is the problems of this department are deep rooted and tend to be political, not professional.

I really don't want him to fail, because then we fail, No - I want the political cronies to fail, I want the BS reverends to fail, and most of all, I want the alderthiefs to fail. Weis is not our problem, this city's politics are.
NOW WE ARE GETTING ON THE RIGHT TRACK!!!
O.T.
How come when the Commisioner of the CFD retires or moves on, his replacement is announced on the same day.
Well lets see. The CFD is about one tenth the size of the CPD.
The citizens don't give a shit about the CFD until their shit is on fire.
The CFD has no official authority, no powers of arrest and can not deprive you of your personal freedom.
All the head of the CFD needs to be is a business manager to make sure the basement savers report for work and the bosses stay with in the budget. Just like K-Mart.
"No matter what happens, after 3 years he writes a book (hopefully rating out Daley) and moves on to another "big paycheck law enforcement job".

Try again. Your only as good as your last job. He'll be lucky to land a teaching spot @ Westwood College w/ those credentials
jfed is going know where. he was picked so the feds wouldn't take over and he'll stay as long as he's needed. when it appears that he's rooted out corruption then he's out, and some other lackey will come in. If jfed leaves and the feds take over daley lose's the olympics and control over the department.
I really don't want him to fail, because then we fail, No - I want the political cronies to fail, I want the BS reverends to fail, and most of all, I want the alderthiefs to fail. Weis is not our problem, this city's politics are.
7/11/2008 01:34:00 PM
So true. He may not be a CPD insider but he is one of US. It is US agains THEM. Lets stick together.
I feel J-Fed is now one of us!
One of us! One of us! Gooble gobble, gooble gobble! One of us! One of us!
"Hey J-Fed? You see that flash of light in the corner of your eye? That's your career dissipation light. It just went into high gear."
great line from a great movie.
equally great is that it is spoken in the movie by a jerkoff chicago aldercreature... how fitting
Citizens of Chicago, the police officers in the city are serving and protecting every day!
The officers answer radio calls, conduct follow-up investigations, process crime scenes and many other tasks. What the officers are not doing is, proactive police work.
Proactive police work is when an officer sees that little something that just isn't right, and investigates further. These little somethings are what lead to arrests, and disruption of criminal acts.
This is the police department that the pols and citizens want.
Enjoy the ride, it's just beginning.
Stay safe office!!
As long as your partner and you go home in one piece every night is all that matters. J-Fed has a 3 year ,almost 1 million dollar contract, do you really think it matters to him what the mayor and alderman say? Morale is in the toilet and I believe it will get worse before it gets better. Stay safe, respond to your assignments,and by all means don't give them any ammunition against you in the form of pro-active police work. They have built this ship and it is sinking faster than anyone had imagined. We have a hot weekend ahead, to all those working out there be safe and remember this job isn't worth your life, freedom or retirement.
Dear J-Fed:
We don’t trust you anymore than the other clout appointed people you have surrounding you. You screwed the pouch on Cozzie. But you got about 5% of your credibility back with your comment that the parents were responsible for their son getting shot. You should get your office disinfected after those aldermen were there. And take an inventory to see what is missing. Obama (AKA wingnut) (have you ever seem ears that big!) talked about personal responsibility. When community leaders take their problem by the horns instead of blowing it off on society we can start being the police again. We used to be a real police department under Jane Byrne. But with the implementation of CAPS and the infiltration of political clout in all of the higher ranks we have turned us into window dressing.
We don’t expect you to back us up if we commit malfeasance but we expect the benefit of the doubt otherwise. We lock someone up we have 40 people taking our pictures on cell phones because the city gives away free money to these mutts because the all vote the straight party line and DA mayor wants to stay in office as long as possible so he will not be indicted. Many of your own inner circle think it’s a joke what you are being paid. And these are the same people giving you bad advice! Kill off the TRU unit and empty all of the secret squirrel units at Homan Square. Get ever copper under 20 years out of HQ. Make all of the Area Deputy Chiefs give up their little armies. Staff all Districts where they should be and make all D/C’s accountable. Make Sgts. be supervisors not just mannequins waiting to take the LT’s exam. If three cars in the sector are productive and two are not make them follow and write up the dog asses on the two cars.
If you want to make a mark on this department a quick contract would help. It is some of the quick sand holding you down right now! Lower the age on the health care and get rid of all the old timers. You could have all the kids you want running all over the place with their glocks!

How things shake out depends upon the length of time it takes for the mentally handicapped to figure it out.
And it looks like they are having a difficult time doing so.
Apparently, their egos and arrogance are blocking their lines of sight.
He's done.....Bring in Peterson
It's a well known fact that not only was there not enough man power at the Taste that the Det. and inside people sent were useless. Say what you want about Tac/Gang teams they will at least do their jobs. The detectives stood there and wined about being there and the inside people were too scared to do anything. Don't send a boy to do a man's job
Wow, another 3 year wonder tact perrenial all star telling us how he's the real police
J-FED
Do one good thing before you get the boot, and put the criminals in city hall on the "hotseat" for all to see on cltv. Instead of taking it where the sun don't shine..
"hey tina, you were calling out all those drinkers to arrest at the south side irish parade, why not the mob of gangbangers at the taste?
7/11/2008 01:34:00 PM"
You KNOW you know the answer to that question.
You shouldn't have f*cked with Cozzi.
That was the straw that broke the camel's back when it came to morale within the dept.
Cozzi was wrong but paid for his sins and it was taken a step further by you.
7/11/2008 03:42:00 PM
That's bullshit that only a handful of 025 District cowboys believe. The rest of us see much larger issues at play than Cozzi.
Isn't this why they instituted term limits...so tyrant midget kings like daley couldn't stay in power.
This city is soooooooooo screwed.
7/11/2008 02:27:00 PM
Why would anyone on this dept want to stick their neck out and do anything? Those gangbangers needed a good ass whooping at the Waste of Chicago. But, society says if you put your finger on these future doctors you will suffer the consequences. So, let them be the animal they are. When the BHLs come crying... just say thats what you wanted.
7/11/2008 06:01:00 PM
I've been reading comments all over the internet and various local papers with citizens saying the police did "nothing" as these gangbangers congregated. Very interesting that all of the sudden the police are wrong for NOT violating these assholes civil right's! It really is laughable!
I'd like to thank the City of Chicago for giving away the "ghetto Lotto" rather than fight some of these Lawsuits that come in. Now we have every asshole with a phonecam and a YouTube account provoking the Police in every manner possible actually hoping to catch an asskicking so that they can "get paid". How do we ever combat that?
I just smile and thank the shithead for being a shithead. I may be technically "on strike", but the shithead is still job security!
Want to know how to tell that this crew is in over their heads?
Read the c/o book. All c/u etc. other than furlough, for bud billekin, must be approved by your dep. sup. and the 1st dep. sup.
None of them has a clue.
Uncle Frank [the rat] is looking good right about now.
Oh shit, Mopra just said, on wttw week in review, (among other things you would never have expected her to say),that the problem is that POLITICS is interfering with the effective operations of the CPD.
Something's working here.
Word is that J-Fed is surrounded by Daley hacks who do not allow J-Fed to interact with "real" Chiago cops. They keep him insulated, and whisper sweet nothings.
SHAME ON J-FED for not being the G-man investigator he's touted to be, and finding out for himself what is really going on.
How many times does he let a hack like Kirby embarrass him with faulty policy that has to be rescinded days or even hours after release before he fires her incompetent ass?
"Mayor Mumbles said that WEIS has always been known as an excellent police officer. Huh? Here's a question that Mayor Mumbles will understand: Since when did always begin? You fucking dope!
7/11/2008 01:49:00 PM"
Since when did dickhead know ANYTHING about excellence?
I for one am glad that Weis is here. He will be a scapegoat, and he doesn't know shit from shinola when it comes to CPD, BUT I loved it when he made the shakeups in the department. I am tired of the good ol'boys network, at least they will have to rebuild some of it now when Weis leaves. Whoever is at the top will do the bidding of the mayor..NO MATTER WHAT. And that really sucks. Political influence is the number one killer of morale, and pride in this department. Mayor, aldermen, senators, congressmen, and every other political hack want their people to have good spots in this department, and by doing this they pass over coppers who have good experience, and are better leaders. At least be able to speak for petes sake. These mush mouth bosses are pathetic..and the arrogant bosses that got their clusters because they are a minority...yeah you DOTY!! STANLEY(Stroger relation)..or a white...my family has money, or political connection, lives next to mayors mommy..fucking jagoff who thinks they were the police at one point in time.
Jody needs more officers, Jody needs better people who know what they are doing around him, Jody needs the mayor to get on board, and revamp this whole fucking department...we are doomed
Is J-Fraud's contract a public document? Can it be found on the Internet?
Why does the city refuse to administer the fifty-item, multiple choice WONDERLIC IQ test to current top brass? For God's sake, it's widely known that stupidity would disqualify many current and aspiring exempts.
If you've been watching, J=Fed and crew have been cobbling this Dept. into the shape of a Dept. under a DOJ Consent Decree ala' LAPD....If he's sent packing you know what's coming in the back door? Think of it as Jody's doomsday device. In the short term there's only one thing he can do, and that's put it on the staff he picked and dump a few exempts for poor performance, if he's even allowed to do that much. But I'm really saddened at the outlook for our Dept.. The truth is we all really want to do our best. But, that feeling gets squelched more and more, by the high drama. It's all about owning the streets by going after gangs, guns. and drugs! Now lead the way!!
Jesse wants to cut off Obama's nuts and while Richie hasn't reached that extreme yet with J-Fed it appears he has chopped him off at the knees. Will he eventually give J-Fed the Dana Starks treatment and effectively circumvent his authority?
If J-Fed wasn't such a goof you'd almost have to feel sorry for him. Richie set him up for failure almost from the get-go. He tells J-Fed it's his department to run but then makes sure J-Fed knows who can and can't be touched. Nothing's changed in that regard but even if J-Fed now wanted to bactrack how could he? When he took over and wanted to be the El Jefe he forced out a lot of valuable police experience. How would you get that back now? Anything he does now is going to be akin to trying to close the barn door after the animals are out.
J-Fed will not leave until his 3 years is up. Da Mayor will not break the contract. . .
7/11/2008 04:33:00 PM
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Oh, I am sure that the contract holds a clause or two that state something to the effect about crime reduction and weeding out the "bad" cops.
If J-Fraud does not live up to his end of the contract, I am sure that if Daley wanted to cancel it he could.
To 1:34 p.m. post:
Do you think Tina Skahil will show the same non tolerance for public drinking at Bud Biliken as she did at the overwhelmingly white South Side Irish parade? I think not. She'll turn a blind eye when it's her people.
Drew peterson the next super??
2 all u dumb fucks sticking up for the fed, STOP it already, he still has not apologized or given any reason why they let Joe Airhart lay inside an apt. bleeding in to his brain. Feds do not have any use for US, and don't forget it!!! Wake up and worry about your partner, fellow officers and your Family, first and foremost!!! The king and his cronies are going to do what ever they want, no matter what happens to any of us. How quickly u all 4get, just days ago, they put on a show at a FUNERAL (God bless PO Francis) and u will still not get the respect, thanks, etc. u deserve!!
just a dumb 'what if' question......what if j-fed deployed enough police to the 3rd of july at the taste and there were NO shootings-just the usual batterys/disturbances, etc AND there were an extaordinary amount of shootings/homicides on the south side instead. poor j-fed woud still be on the hot seat. maybe now he might realize that we are short manpower, have too many M-F office police, and have too many bosses and not enough blue shirts....
Everyone better be careful Daley Jfraud are looking for a incident where they can throw a PO or SGT to the wolves to regain the trust of the city. Do not give them a chance write reports take lunch guard the crime scene and go home safe to your family. The bangers were baiting the guys at the taste trying to video tape us. Be smart and ignore the stupid stuff. Dont end up on the news or worse. Back each other up let the animals kill each other.
Crime Up ? Oh well, we still don't have a contract.....not my problem.
***Off Topic*** Check out what they recovered in Area 1. Go to "CLEAR Applications", Login, under "Records Management" click on "Gangs / Deployment Operation Center",
then under "D.O.C. Information", click on "Search DOC Level 2 Recommended Deployment". Then click on the "Area One Video." Shows what we are really up against.
He phucked Cozzi, now he gets the return favor.
Hmm, well, I guess this is gonna sound like i'm a company man, but I'm gonna reserve judgement on this one till... AFTER the meeting. Hopefully, he will put them in their place. If he blamed mama for the death of her kid at last week's shooting, perhaps he will also put the council in their place. I hope he does. If not, THEN I will criticize. Until then, jeez, relax folks!
Along the lines of great movie quotes, will Mrs. Cleaver be available to translate for J-Fed at the council meeting? She does "speak jive" after all!

this is the guy who should have the top spot. at least as a commander, jackson took no bullshit.
i would work for this guy anywhere anytime. best boss ever. had your back no matter what. it was never a race card with him either..he always had your back guaranteed. there was no color other than blue. he was there letting us lock everyone up no trrs when the shit hit the fan. whatever you had to do. i'm sure when you get that up there, like everyones been saying, you gotta bend to the mayor. but i tell you this is one BOSS youd be happy to work for.
you could come into the station with the biggest clusterfuck ever...hed be there shaking your hand telling you what a great job you did. this guy is the guy you wanna work for. bring in jimmy!

Who would have known that one man could arouse the senses within all of us...Who knew that this man could stir the emotions of a whole city? A simple man, a federal lawman, has galvanized us so fast, with so few left behind then any ethnic, religious or political group has ever achieved in recent memory.
A movement has began.
Purposeful goals and objectives are in alignment focusing into a laser beam pointing down range onto a practice target. Sight alignment, trigger control and breathing. Make the paper explode!
I just took a moment of silence, a long breathe, and exhaled.
I am smiling now as I write these words your reading. Listening to Alderman Billie Ocasio beefing about how a great guy J-Fed is. Somehow you know he’s right. J-Fed has exceeded himself beyond all expectations and professionally accepted norms of comprehension. Even for an average retired FBI guy. I noticed he's wearing his glasses again. Trying to look smarter? Unfortunately, I know that he has been given that long goodbye kiss. Yes, he hasn’t officially left yet, but, his balls are lying in a dumpster somewhere in the alley behind City Hall. Animal Control and Care perhaps could use some of his unmatched inspiration that the now neutered J-Fed has generously share with us.
Letting J-Fed off the hook with our hard earned taxpayer dollars is not the smartness move either. We must make room for him in city government; for at least the remainder of his labor contract. Now is the time for us to supply excuses and explanations for his invisibility inside the Police Department. Since those corrupt career politicians can’t think of any more reason right now- they used up all the good excuses on his present departure from the Office of Emergency Management and Communications/911.
Ah...problems, problems, and more problems. After the orgyfest at Police Headquarters and next week’s at city chambers. Who will be next...?
OT: The Feds seized and closed IndyMac Bank after close of business today. It's the biggest bank that ever failed. And it's only the start. If you are lucky enough to have more than $100,000, don't keep more than that in any one bank. The FDIC only insures you for that amount, and you can lose the rest. Take heed - this is only the start of a long line of bank failures coming soon. The stock market is signaling that we are in for a major recession and possibly a depression. Crime will skyrocket. All this shit about J-Fed will be old news. Get ready for the real problems that are coming. Get into cash and gold, and vote McCain!
The department has been going down for a while now. I blame it on people taking the job for the wrong reason. Those that believed in true blue are leaving or have given up. We need to work ourselves at getting the job back to the way it was years ago. Remember those that made the ultimate sacrifice.
7/11/2008 06:03:00 PM
Take a look at FOP's website and what the city is proposing as CPD'S future contract, it is a FARCE...to be used as toilet paper for what it is worth. The contract should be reflective of patrol and all it entails on a day to day basis.
If anyone watched the 2008 Taste video fights, it showed the brazeness of the criminal element, and under what climate the Blue Shirts have to deal with.
Jfed will remain for the money & benefits, will take the public spanking for all its worth to appease the public, and to show that mayor midget is in control. mayor midget needs Jfed to avoid a federal takeover and get the Olympics.
Mayor midget should spend some of his pennies to pay CPD what its worth in salary & benefits AND morale would improve immensely, afterall CPD are working citizens of Chicago with many young families and future voters.
If mayor midget believes that with high technology and small private security squads patrolling neighborhoods will suffice in keeping crime down, downsizing CPD to a minimum...he will pay a very hefty price in the long run. Whoever is advising him is cold, ruthless, arrogant, greedy, and evil...a city cannot be operated with ALL CHIEFS and NO PEONS. Take that to the bank.
CPD has to organize a public protest possibly when the budget hearings are being held, we should be able to disregard the No Strike Clause in the same way the city is disregarding CPD with its new contract proposals.
Maybe Jfed should have put on a blue shirt, gone on the streets to taste their reality, and then agreed to be Superintendent...dream has turned out to be a nightmare.
Maybe he now has some empathy for Cozzi...
1 year and 11 days of retro-pay so far...f*ck you, pay me.
Even my own bosses at roll call are saying we are shorthanded, but Downtown doesn't want to hear any of that noise. IT'S GETTING LOUDER!!!!
The Taste was J-Feds fault, manpower and deployment are his resposibility. NOT wearing sunglasses on your head with your little brother's shirt on.
Tell us Jfed, now that you have lost your innocence of what you believed about CPD, was that slap upside that gangbanger's head who was giving the hospital staff a hard time really soooo brutal that it required a federal indictment after Cozzi was put through the wringer...where was the public appeal for the parents of this gangbanger to be held responsible.
It's a well known fact that not only was there not enough man power at the Taste that the Det. and inside people sent were useless. Say what you want about Tac/Gang teams they will at least do their jobs. The detectives stood there and wined about being there and the inside people were too scared to do anything. Don't send a boy to do a man's job
Wow, another 3 year wonder tact perrenial all star telling us how he's the real police
**10-4 that. Somebody's wearing their John Wayne Undies today. Inside people, detectives and 1/2 of this police force DO NOT GIVE A SHIT about what happens there. Nobody's sticking their neck out these days, Comprende?
Daley is stuck with J-Fed for 3 years. End of Story.
In one of the papers it said that JFeds exempts will be held accountable and it specifically said Jimmy Jack will be one of the first to get the boot.
I really don't want him to fail, because then we fail, No - I want the political cronies to fail, I want the BS reverends to fail, and most of all, I want the alderthiefs to fail. Weis is not our problem, this city's politics are.
\\Are you drunk???? If he fails, so what. I won't fail. I'll just continue doing what I do.
OT: Went grocery shopping and spent $200, including my case of beer in another county. Total taxes $6 .... No separate liquor tax either :) :)
This is Daley's method of raping the feds. Bring in a high profile agent and expose him to redicule over and over again. His honor's motto: we don't need the feds intervention. Return the Chitcago Irish gestapo regime
DON'T BE THE FOOL!!!!!!!!!!
YOU CAN'T GO ANYWHERE WITHOUT SOMEONE FLASHING A 10-1 TICKET IN YOUR FACE. I DON'T MIND HELPIN A BROTHER OUT.... BUT IT REALLY SUCKS TO KNOW WHY OFFICERS ARE TAKING TIME!!!! YOU HAVE TO BE SMART AND DON'T LET YOUR GUARD DOWN, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOUR DEALING WITH THE SHITHEADS OF CHICAGO. BOTTOM LINE YOU TRY TO DO YOUR BEST AND GOD FORBID YOU DON'T CROSS THAT "T".... AND FINALLY WHO IS THE LOWEST PAID ON THE JOB?
THE P.O.
He found out the hard way. It's the Mayor's way or NO way . In the short time that he has been in charge he has screwed the dept. and it will never be the same.
We need a group of "anonymous" citizens wearing Chalkie t-shirts with Chalkie holding a chicken leg

Just heard there was an exempt meeting friday and that tact, gang, and TRU are no longer responsable for the DOC. The department is going for a zero tolerence approach. THESE OFFICERS WILL BE EXPECTED TO BRING IN A HEAD A NIGHT. AND WILL BE DEPLOYED THROUGHOUT THE CITY WHEN NEEDED. Reportedly numerous commanders and deputies were given the things will change or your gone talk? Anything to it?
Why do you keep blasting the superintendent??? How about a survey SCC, who wants a recall vote for the FOP officers??????????????????
1 year and 11 days of retro-pay so far...f*ck you, pay me.
which equals almost nothing...
Jimmy Jackson is a great guy and a great 1st Deputy. He should have been the number 1 man. He's protective of the working police. But that's not enough for you race haters is it.
Fuck Dugan. Wasn't he at the helm of SOS when they were pulling some of their criminal shit? Get off his jock, he was'nt that great at being a area deputy chief either. How hard was it to run 2,9,21? Those districts ran themselves. Patterson did a great job with 007, and 008 went into the toilet under Dugan administration. Quit kissing his ass because you got to work the area gang, gun or saturation team you wanna be supercops.
Who was in charge of the taste when it all went to shit? DUGAN.
I rest my case. He's a petty micromanaging despot. He's the guy that whispers in Cuello's ear and tells her what to do. Taste 08 was his waterloo.
Phil Cline suddenly looks better right now.
Patrick Fitzgerald, US Attorneys ,PLEASE get control of this cabal of lunatics and criminals here in Crook County-Chicago, please, before more good cops get injured or killed from the constant foul-ups here.
HE GONE!!

Cozzi was the catalyst and set the tone showing how Jfed would bypass the disciplinary system in place by OUR CONTRACT...it's true that there are larger issues, but Cozzi wears the blue shirt as the majority in Patrol making him representative of us all, should we step in shit, we are still human afterall.

Let005/006/007/011/015 burn. Protect the Homeland and let the animals do what they want in their own neighborhoods.
Perfect shitstorm is right! I wonder if Cline and Hilliard sit back and laugh their asses off at j-fed, thinking what a fool. The only problem is that we havent hit rock bottem yet kids. We need to watch out as it isn't he fall that is going to kill us but the sudden stop at the end...

How about a shirt that says
"these ribs is worth dying for!"
them are gooooood!
Personally, I could go with Jackson or Wysinger being excellent choices for Superintendent, if J-Fed should call it a day. Either guy would do a fine job out there. More importantly, they have both been THE POLICE, and respect working coppers.
j fed was fucked from the very beginning and he didn't even know it. the problems on this department are multiple and have been simmering for some time. it was not caused by any one person but by blunder after blunder over a long period of time. how do you fix it ??? you cant-- society has changed and the police have not been able to compensate fast enough. as an individual officer you have to make a choice as to how you will compensate. i have chosen the quiet end of a park and the daily newspaper for my tour of duty.
so i hear f-fed is getting thirty pending. Who's selling benefit tickets? I hear he has bills to pay. What the fuck am i talking about i wouldn't give money for him i rather give money to a rock-star so that he can light up.
If you want to make a mark on this department a quick contract would help. It is some of the quick sand holding you down right now! Lower the age on the health care and get rid of all the old timers. You could have all the kids you want running all over the place with their glocks!

7/11/2008 06:59:00 PM
retire already you fuckin dinosaurs. thirty years and still a blue shirt. what are you waiting for. Poor retirement planning i guess
its true meeting with j-fed and all exempts and j-fed came to collect their souls. Sink or swimm. some units must bring an arrest per car every night. sounds like a quota to me.
J-Fed lost the support of the Blue Shirts when he fucked over PO Cozzi.
So is J-Feds bestman and appointed Gold Star going to be organizing his 10-1 benefit for him?
J-Fed should have the balls to state that the majority of the Exempt Command Staff selections were made by the Mayor.Daley's picks:Shields,Cuello,Jackson. Deb Kirby was kept on because of the SOS scandal and because her BF is on the Mayor's staff.Tobias is only kept on because of his clout with Daley.J-Fed dumps and forces the retirement 30-40 bosses and keeps Tobias?He was the SOS Commander when the Robbery/Home Invasions were occurring.CR numbers,court deviations,lawsuits and Tobias has no clue what is going on?Take your pick:A.Stupid B.Lazy C.Corrupt D.All of the above.
If these overpaid aldercreatures are so friggin concerned about the violence, my suggestion is telling them to MAN THE STREETS THEMSELVES if they are so concerned and think they could do a better job or find a solution. Give me a friggin break!!! As if we are responsible and in control of the gang bangers.
We've been pretty merciless in our criticism of the Superintendent. We've pointed out missteps, outed political hacks that have been promoted way beyond their abilities and ripped him for some truly bad decisions that circumvent contract protections.
We've also written a couple of articles about how J-Fed should really take corrective action. Empty out HQ harems, disband useless and redundant spots, automate, upgrade, and stick it to the City Council by telling the aldercreatures in no uncertain terms to mind their own business, support the police and tell their constituencies to straighten up their own houses.

Let s not get too happy with your little band of wanna-be-media SCC types.
I care what the posters post. Your articles are OK. Just OK though. We appreciate you runnig the site and everything ... but its just a blog, man, its not that good even.

Does not matter who is supe. None of us will put our tit in a ringer when there is no one to back us up. Proactive aka preventitive policing is over. City of Chicago stop your anon calls because unless you sign the complaint we are not going to do shit. Big bad policeman will not kick the asses of the bad guy anymore. You the public wanted kinder gentler police well now you got it.

"Tobias?He was the SOS Commander when the Robbery/Home Invasions were occurring.CR numbers,court deviations,lawsuits and Tobias has no clue what is going on?"
Why does everyone assume that only one exempt in the old SOS should have been held accountable? Wasn't Gulliford there as a Lt., and then promoted later to Cmdr of SOS when Tobias was promoted? Is Gulliford not accountable for knowing about the shennanigans there? Gulliford was the Cmdr when it all came to light, about 2 yrs after he took the helm, and was promoted afterwards. What kind of message does that send?
he lost us with cozzi
That's bullshit that only a handful of 025 District cowboys believe. The rest of us see much larger issues at play than Cozzi.
7/11/2008 07:32:00 PM
Incorrect.I've never worked 025(thank God),nor have I ever met Cozzi.Quite a few PO's in my district are troubled about this situation.You have a PO whose life is ruined and facing prison time,because the boss wasn't satisfied with the punishment already administered.This has done more to slow down "aggresive"policing,then anything else in the news this year.DO YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENS,JODY,WHEN YOU FUCK A STRANGER IN THE ASS??
Bring in Peterson? OMG, who do you think was behind the dumping of all the competent bosses? Peterson has an agenda, and Jfed played right into his hands.That bald headed ego maniac has Weis' ear, and God forbid, it's one idiot advising another! Weis' is a moron in over his head, but Peterson is a dangerous psycho.
Dear Mayor Daley,
While I appreciate your generous offer of $2 million per year to serve as CPD Supt., I respectfully decline.
Good luck in your new nationwide search.
s/William Bratton
Chief, LAPD
P.S.: I also checked with Chief John Timoney in Miami. He also declined your offer adding that he deeply resents any insinuation that he is insane.
I hear the Mayor and Aldermen want to meet with Chalkie and Bud Billiken to find out what went wrong at the Taste and plan for the BB parade.
Just heard there was an exempt meeting friday and that tact, gang, and TRU are no longer responsable for the DOC. The department is going for a zero tolerence approach. THESE OFFICERS WILL BE EXPECTED TO BRING IN A HEAD A NIGHT. AND WILL BE DEPLOYED THROUGHOUT THE CITY WHEN NEEDED. Reportedly numerous commanders and deputies were given the things will change or your gone talk? Anything to it?
7/11/2008 11:26:00 PM
I can confirm that TRU has changed their "mission" for the $th tims in 4 months. We used to be agg batt prevention (with heads), then we went to agg batt prevention (no heads) then intell gathering, now its heads and dont worry about shootings. Drinkers, pissers whatever is okay
Listen up J-FED!!! I know you read this blog. the only way and I mean the only way to get any thing from the po's is to retract the Federal beef against Cozzi and reinstate Mette when he gets out or before. You have to fight fire with fire. Use the media to your advantage, make changes, real changes. Get rid of Daleys political appointees' and expose it thru the Media. Hold press conferences w/o telling Daley and make YOUR own changes. Daley will fuck you over but if you want to be your own man you got to take it to Daley,your in a 3 yr contract, Daley wont get rid you before then because of the Olympics. This is the only way to do it if you got what it takes. You are the ONLY ONE WHO CAN SAVE THIS DEPARTMENT FROM TOTAL BREAKDOWN THE QUESTION IS DO YOU HAVE THE BALLS AND PRIDE IN YOURSELF AS A MAN TO GO DOWN THAT ROAD? Us coppers who are suffering are waitng for a leader, IS IT YOU?
"Fuck Dugan"???
Are you kidding me?? Just because he probably dumped your whining crybaby ass years ago because you were a do nothing, thats your response??
go fuck yourself you worthless piece of shit.
Dugan is about the only competent boss this department has!
Anonymous said...
Just curious since when were bosses appointed as "Administrative Lts" or "Tact Lts.". They are just Lts and should have been assigned to the street at one time or another to know how to make common sense decisions. I'm sorry I'm thinking practically, what's wrong with me.
7/11/2008 02:29:00 PM
How many newly promoted LTS worked for a few months on the street then were quickly promoted? That BS of making every LT work one year on the street is a sound bite. I remember Lamon was made LT then three months later a district commander. Look at current district commanders. How many have street experience? Mealer, Moy? These are future leaders? Promote based on resumes and clout.
Wouldn't it been grand if Daley and J-Fed got flushed and the SCC octopus was given keys to the city? All could be made right with Chicago and the CPD.......very right! In this utopia, our brothas in blue wouldn't have nothing to complain about, and all would scream so what became of that SCC blog, brougham?
Jimmy Jackson is a great guy and a great 1st Deputy. He should have been the number 1 man. He's protective of the working police. But that's not enough for you race haters is it.
Fuck Dugan. Wasn't he at the helm of SOS when they were pulling some of their criminal shit? Get off his jock, he was'nt that great at being a area deputy chief either. How hard was it to run 2,9,21? Those districts ran themselves. Patterson did a great job with 007, and 008 went into the toilet under Dugan administration. Quit kissing his ass because you got to work the area gang, gun or saturation team you wanna be supercops.
Who was in charge of the taste when it all went to shit? DUGAN.
I rest my case. He's a petty micromanaging despot. He's the guy that whispers in Cuello's ear and tells her what to do. Taste 08 was his waterloo.
Keating was in charge of the taste, Cuello in overall command, Dugan was not! Patterson is a great guy but a great job in 007? they were near top in all catagories of violent crime the whole time he was there so stop it already... the southside is a shithole deal with it.
Hes not going anywhere, because when he does, we will be under a federal consent dcree.
Where's former 222 now FBI>?

Not as good as the totally machine controlled print and broadcast media, is that what you're really trying to say?
Free speech is a bitch, especially when there's a means of widely disseminating it.
Can't you handle the truth?
If you want to make a mark on this department a quick contract would help. It is some of the quick sand holding you down right now! Lower the age on the health care and get rid of all the old timers. You could have all the kids you want running all over the place with their glocks!

Last time I checked, 29+ years to get ONLY 75% pension, cannot even count on SS, health insurance premiums? (laugh) ...with the new contract proposal, anyone will be fortunate to make it to past 20 years.
Do the math, all you young po's, coming on in your 20's...plus 30 years down the road, how old will you be, even with good retirement planning, unforseen emergencies, health problems, kids, etc...NEW CONTRACT ARE EMPTY PROPOSALS, like giving you a glass of tap water in a very fancy glass, and the city expects you say thank you while holding your ankles of course.

From the mouth of the wet behind the ears.....
Cook County Jail statistics, population under 9,000 in custody in the divisions. CPD keep up the no work!
Why was the Supt's Chief of Staff speeding down 290 Saturday? Is he allowed to speed? Perhaps he should tell his driver that they're not above the law. Hey wait. He's got a driver? What's up with that?

And quite successfully pulling the proverbial wool over somebody's eyes. His twin boys have separated and left 005. Couldn't convince the timekeeper to pad their paychecks.
I personally don't like J-Fed and will never recognize him as our leader but how on earth is the waste of chicago shooting his fault??? There was a shooting/murder 2 or 3 years ago when old Ralphieboy was dep. chief and lil dicky's close friend jimmy k. was the commander of 001. How come dicky and the alderscum didn't place blame on that one?
Are you soft? Heres a clue there was over 100 or more fights during the waste of Chicago, take a look at the u2 videos. The waste was a dangerous place to be for the normal citizens, the savages were running the show. Its not all about the shooting. FIGHTS and fucking with the family's. In the past the CPD was in control Officers would make the Gang Bangers leave. Also the bridges were not maned where they would search those who appeared to be trouble makers. a Gun at the fest means a terrorist could have taken out thousands of people.
Did you all catch Hizzoner on the news tonight (Saturday)...NBC5... there he was in his weekend casual gear saying what a good job J-Fed has been doing.... BUT.... he couldn't look the camera in the face when he said it and quickly changed the subject.
Even better was the footage of J-Fed walking in this morning's (so-called) Peace March. J-Fed looked bored as hell and like it pained him to even be there.
They also pointed out that homicide is up 12.8%
Tsar Daley needs to pull the plug on this useless J-Fed before there's even more embarassment for our fair city.

What is wrong with having a blue shirt? Officer Francis was a blue shirt and proud of it. He was killed wearing that blue shirt you speak of. Perhaps you don't/didn't deserve the blue shirt you arrogant a**. You either still live at your parents,have a degree or are a two year wonder. If not you have made another category that I am sure someone else on this blog will name. Hope you sleep well.
"Tsar Daley needs to pull the plug on this useless J-Fed before there's even more embarassment for our fair city.

Hell no.
The only person that the plug should be pulled on is the one total embarrassment to this city.
I'll give you a few hints who that is:
Mumbles.
Stutters
Lies
Steals
Back stabs
Schemes
Manipulates
Stinks
Sheds crocodile tears
Did I mention lies?
"How come dicky and the alderscum didn't place blame on that one?"
They weren't forced to, by the media coverage that, now, they can't totally suppress or control.
SCC can take much of the credit for that.
"Do you think Tina Skahil will show the same non tolerance for public drinking at Bud Biliken as she did at the overwhelmingly white South Side Irish parade? I think not. She'll turn a blind eye when it's her people."
First of all, her last name is spelled "Skahill." Second, Skahill will do the right thing, regardless of race; anyone who knows her should know that. As the new Chief of IAD, it's doubtful she will even appear at Bud Billiken this year. Seems that the arrests at the SouthSideIrish Parade (also known as AssholeFest) have left some of you with a bad taste in your mouths. You're upset that some of your kids, friends & neighbors had to go sit in a cell? Thank your neighbors, who are tired of all the ugliness plopping down in front of their homes, on their lawns and in their alleys.
Clean up your own act before you worry about someone else's. I'm certain that arrests are made every
year at the Billiken parade.
My buddy is a burbank(IL) cop..said ther just signed a 4 year deal for 25% and they can live wherever the fuck that want..! they also take lateral transfers..!

"Here, Here" Well written and true.
It's a well known fact that not only was there not enough man power at the Taste that the Det. and inside people sent were useless. Say what you want about Tac/Gang teams they will at least do their jobs. The detectives stood there and wined about being there and the inside people were too scared to do anything. Don't send a boy to do a man's job.
What did you do that day to make a difference? Go cry somewhere else.
First Deputy Superintendent Jim Jackson, a former district commander who leapfrogged to the No. 2 job, could be among the first to go, sources said.
Sun-Times
AKA: The Obama Gazette
7/11/2008 05:28:00 PM
this is the guy who should have the top spot. at least as a commander, jackson took no bullshit.
i would work for this guy anywhere anytime. best boss ever. had your back no matter what. it was never a race card with him either..he always had your back guaranteed. there was no color other than blue. he was there letting us lock everyone up no trrs when the shit hit the fan. whatever you had to do. i'm sure when you get that up there, like everyones been saying, you gotta bend to the mayor. but i tell you this is one BOSS youd be happy to work for.
you could come into the station with the biggest clusterfuck ever...hed be there shaking your hand telling you what a great job you did. this guy is the guy you wanna work for. bring in jimmy!
You must be his son, daughter or god child to be throwing that B.S. around. J.J. is one of the biggest tools I have ever worked for. He sparred more coppers for B.S. then any other boss I know. Then as a Commander of an Area, he tried to spar his V.C. LT. The LT. was the reason for the work being done at the area, not J.J. When it went to the Supt. who do you think was gone, J.J. Do you really think he is not part of the problem with this command staff. He's the G-D First Deputy and you see things are screwed up. Everyone knows the 1st Deputy runs the day to day operations of the CPD. Could write all day, you're an idiot.

What an arrogant punk. Those blue shirts may save your life one day fool. You should thank one every time you see one. Blue is where it all starts. What is wrong with loving the job for 30 years? Don't be jealous if you are disgruntled. Have some respect for those who PROUDLY wear that blue shirt. Go look at ODMP and see how many have DIED wearing that shirt. You are part of the problem IF in fact you are even an officer. If you are an officer I hope if I ever need help you are not one who comes to my aid. I would rather take my chances.
