Tribune Editorial
- "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. . . . Manpower? Down. Tickets? Down. Arrests? Down. Revenue? Down. Guns? Down. Search Warrants? Down. Crime? Up—and up double digits with no end in sight."
Second City Cop blog, July 11, 2008
What's this? Routine kvetching on the Web blog that Chicago cops most often read?
Or does the current avalanche of often detailed complaints from officers about inept management—poor leadership within the department but also from politicians at City Hall—suggest that Chicago has serious policing problems? That, for whatever reason, the CPD is less effective at fighting crime than it has been in recent years?
The Department is rotting from the head down - and by "head" we mean City Hall. The Department is merely reflective of the constant political corruption pouring out of Chicago, Cook and Illinois politics.
Go read the entire editorial. It brings up some valid points. However, it missed a big one:
Go read the entire editorial. It brings up some valid points. However, it missed a big one:
- Kvetching, whether from blogging cops or preening aldermen, won't accomplish anything.
Actually, blogging cops have accomplished something that hasn't been done in years - uniting a large segment of the population into realizing there is a problem, something a Free Press should have been doing all the years they were eating up the crap politicians were serving.

Hey Tribune employees hows the job hunt going? Sending out lots of Resumes?
Good luck on the job search its rough out there.
Gonna get worse if your picks for the presidential election come true.
"Are you in for the long fight Tribune Editorial Staff?"
It doesn't matter whether they are or not, or even what side they are on.
Fuck the Tribune.
Fuck the Sun-Times.
Fuck the talking head broadcast media.
Fuck the babbling brook radio bullshitters.
Fuck them all.
They're irrelevant, rendered so by the choices they've made.
The citizens will know what's going on the best way that citizens know, really know, anything; when it hits them upside their heads.
All the various media can do is play catch-up with reality.
That's as it should be, given their collective whore status.
Because, as surprising as it may be to some, IT'S WORKING.
The big question is:
Will enough continue to keep up the pressures of NO CONTRACT = NO CONTACT, even after a contract is signed, even a decent one?
Because the task at hand is no longer just getting a decent contract, it's no less than being the catalyst that produces a domino effect of cascading corrupt politicians, city and county, off the steep cliff of NOT being reelected, with their suck ass minions being pulled over the edge with them.
Start by electing Peraica to the States Attorney's office, and any other Republicans on the ballot. Not necessarily because you are a Republican, but primarily to disrupt the practically complete domination the Democrats have on this city and county.
Then develop a slate of candidates willing to challenge every city and county elected office, no matter which party currently occupies them.
How many retired officers might gladly volunteer to help, or be willing to be a candidate?
It's about time the citizens had candidates other than incumbent machine hacks, of either party, put up shills for either party and half-assed 'reformers' to choose from.
Prepare to get some manpower back in the districts. The bosses at TRUseless have implemented a 'head a day' rule and those who do not bring in a head for two days straight will be counseled. They screwed those earlier 100 by dumping them to 003, 004, 005, and 006 and now they pull this stunt. You would have to be a moron to put in an application to get there and almost equally as dumb if u were to stay there.
Why does the Trib want to play "nice-nice" all of a sudden? They (and the Slum Times) bashed the ever-loving dogshit out of us when it served the purpose of selling more newspapers and advertising space to bolster their bottom-line profits.
Now they want to mediate and act like they want to help?
Sorry, Fibune... we ain't buying the load of crap you're selling. Your editorial is just another way of exploiting the rift between city hall and the police department just to sell newspapers. You're a private business with no personal stake in this other than to increase readership and sales... and we're wise enough to know it.
About Time The Local Rags Printed The Truth
After all The Plagarism Of The SCC Blog By The LAZY (In Bed With The Corrupt & Clouted) Media, How Much Residuals Do You Think They Owe You SCC??
You could Retire 3 Times Over At Least!!
Stay Safe & Back Up Your Brothers/Sisters In Blue ALWAYS!!
It's one thing for the Chicago Tribune to credit SecondCityCop for a statement or information but the day I am waiting for is to see one of the major news outlets to credit
ShavedLongCock.....
Now that would be funny.
Finally, our reduced activity is having a measurable effect and is being noticed more widely
Lay down. Put the blinders on. Bare minimum only and even less, if you can manage.
Keep up the good work!
Great job guys, let our side out...
Holy Right Field Batman!!!
After the smoke clears what’s in store for us now? J-Fed’s brand of traditional policing methods...?
De-policing and low clearance rates of serious crimes are the net results of J-Fed’s current policies. This superintendent knew about rising crime, low moral[e], and dealing with community issues and safety concerns. He made promises to make changes. What’s going on? Maybe he just don’t give a shit because of a signed contract and a guaranteed three-year salary for $930,000.00. Whether crime is up or down. One or many children are murdered in our streets. J-Clown gets paid. He still gets paid if da mayor fired him tomorrow. I would like to see this contract our public officials approved.
What about J-Clown’s proactive policing idea...a new revised and improved SOS/TRU unit will not be assigned to 911 calls for service instead they will be assigned to directed missions that require aggressive policing tactics and increased contact with citizens? This type of policing creates many problems; uncertainty, potential for conflicts and misunderstandings. The majority of citizens complaints originate from proactive actions of police that resulted in verbal or physical conflicts between a police officer and a citizen. So why be proactive?
Quality-of-life arrests are short-term solutions to long-term problems. The public thinks along with old school police managers that short-term solutions net fast results but, in reality, they only prolong and enhance public violence from repeat criminals who displace their covert criminal activity around police enforcement tactics.
J-Clown should consider engaging the department in long-term strategies that involve criminal prosecutions that result in long-term incarnations and adopts civil actions taken against persons who engage in repeat criminal activity.

RESULTS OF POLICE AND FIRE COMMITTEE HEARINGS!!!!
The Sup was given his marching orders
An Alderman's brother-in-law will be promoted to Area 5 Deputy Chief (009th district start the celebration)
A Bridgeport Hispanic will be named Commander of the 025th District (coming from IAD)
ITS THE CHICAGO WAY!!!!
Gee, I just cant figure out why morale is so bad
And how bout holding these whore lawyers accountable for their raping of tax dollars with these lawsuits and winnings! Just who is serving on these civil juries? The same people the Police are arresting?
Yes the names mentioned in the original post are to blame, but the lawyers are part of it. They should be blasted by city hall daily, and the trib should do an article on the worst of them, and show the taxpayers where their money is going.
Could it really be that someone inside is getting a kickback from all these settlements?
Are there any legit investigative reporters left in this city?

"Weis also needs to push back at the politicians. Ask anyone who's worked in the upper echelons of the CPD how much interference comes from City Hall. If the answer isn't "Plenty," you're being lied to. The aldermen might spend more time demanding that parents and community groups in their wards confront street violence—and less time complaining that Weis doesn't call often enough to stroke their egos."
This is something that needs to be done for the sake of this department. Unfortunately I don't think J-Fed or any other clout boss for that matter have the balls it takes to tell the politicians to FUCK OFF! and let the police be the police!
Well it looks like another one of Tobias' hand picked merit hockey buddies has fucked up again. Merit Tact Sgt from 017 dumped for pulling another stupid manuever.
Lead story in the Hyde Park Herald relates the ticketing of a 60 year old woman for swimming in Lake Michigan off of Promontory Point.
The article reports how it took 3 police officers plus the Chicago Police Department helicopter to remove her from the water in order to issue her a citation.
I have two questions:
1. Is this the only arrest that the helicopter unit responsible for?
2. If the National Guard is assigned to Chicago will the number of arrests for this heinous crime become a part one offense?
Damn right my morale is down!
Word is, Ginger is maybe thinking of putting Conlon ahead of me for the merit SGT spot!!
WTF is with that Joe!!!
The one thing that J-Fed has done is finally unite a large majority of us against the machine. That's an accomplishment that no super has done.
Sorry off topic:
Here we go again folks. It's time for the ghetto rats to fork over their non-functioning guns for a $100 gift card that will be traded for a real gun that could kill you or me. The stupidity resumes 26 July 08 at the various make believe (M.B.) churches around the city. These people should be locked up. What bothers me the most about these gun turn in's is they don't want anything exposed (guns, vest, etc.) so the criminals bringing the guns in don't feel threated by the big bad police.
Just another stupid idea by stupid people.
More importantly! Which area would fit more quarters?? Jody's forehead or Ike Carouther's neckmeat????
WE DON"T NEED HELP FROM THE OUTSIDE, WE NEED IT FROM THE HEAD DOWN. CPD OFFICERS ARE THE BEST AT BEING ABLE TO ARREST THE BAD GUYS AND CARRY THEM OFF TO JAIL WHERE THEY BELONG. BUT THEN THE LIBERAL, CROOK LOVING JUDGES TOSS THEM BACK INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND JAGOFF SUES. GOOD LUCK CHICAGO, YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE HISTORY. MY BET IS THIS WILL BE THE TERRORISTS FIRST STOP, NO COPS WORKING THERE.... PERFECT. KEEP VOTING DEMOCRAT PEOPLE.
Sadly it really doesn't matter if the trib or any other media outlets focus on the slimy and totally corrupt daley empire. he gets re-elected by ginormous numbers. he doesn't care because he doesn't have to care. get the voters to quite saying it will be just as bad if somebody else wins, and the city looks great and my garbage gets picked up. VOTE FOR ANYONE BUT THE LITTLE DICTATOR. Question: Were RICA laws put in place to deal with organizations that mirror the daley machine??
To the short, dumpy, Area 2 detective walking thru Bourbon Street on Thursday, do your tie and try, try, try tucking that shirt in. You look like a piece of garbage and everyone there including the non police were commenting on your complete lacking of any professionalism.
Like SCC states are they in for the "long haul"! Great statement, lets hope they follow this! Hey Tribune why did the mayors office and supt. cancel the order for new police vehicles? Why is it when Cline was told by budget they had no money for cpd manpower and equipment he went directly to mayor and it was approved? Maybe Cline had the balls to do it! Maybe because Cline was the "real police" and understood the problems we face daily! Why Tribune is daley allowed to keep on stealing,contracts to friends,way overinflated construction contrcas, why was elzie higglebottom a big daley contributor who managed the county building where the fire killed people let off the hook? why does daley and his wife use the bullshit minoority contract provision in awarding contracts at both midway and o'hare airports given to 1 black man who contributes heavily to all the politicians? (can you say fill my pockets? Why is it that rose andolino who was victor reyes secretary with no skills in charge of o'hare redevelopment at a huge salery cars drivers maybe for being quiet on "quiet vic"? It goes on and on with daley but yet he continues why is he not indicted? How many have fallen like santos-laski for what for $40,000? How much has daley criminal inc stolen? He makes John Gotti a saint! Investigative reporting time to wake up, maybe it would sell more papers and help keep you people in a job??
GREAT JOB SCC!!! CONGRATS ON UNIFYING US IN A WAY IN WHICH WE NEVER COULD HAVE BEEN UNIFIED!! NOW IS THE TIME TO KEEP UP THE HEAT! LETS SHOW THEM WHO REALLY IS BOSS! NO MOVERS! NO PARKERS! NO CURFEWS! NO ARRESTS! NO VISIBILITY! NO ACTIVITY AT ALL!!! IT IS LIKE THE DAYS OF THE OLD FORMATIONS OF UNIONS.... THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING BUT GIVE US WHAT WE WANT! NO CONTACT NO COMPLAINT! RALLY AROUND THIS MEN AND WOMEN AS WE MAY NEVER BE THIS UNIFIED AGAIN! F**K THE TACT LTS! F**K THE W/C! F**K THE DEP CHIEF! YOU WANT NUBERS? GO OUT AND GET THEM YOUR DAMN SELVES! KEEP IT UP! THE WAGONS ARE CIRCLING AND THEY ARE BEGINNING TO REALIZE THAT POLICE MORALE IS THE KEY! UNTIL WE GET TAKEN CARE OF YOU BOSSES CAN GO TO HELL! GIVE ME MY PAY CHECK!!!
(sorry about all caps SCC, but this is really exciting!)
Your blog has been quoted and referenced quite a bit in the last week SCC. Congrats! Between this editorial and the clips on the nightly news you've become quite the thorn in the City's side. I'm afraid of the fall out that will, in all likelihood happen though. Judging by their past typical knee jerk reactions, this cannot bode well for you.
This is off topic, and perhaps I missed this news in previous postings, but did you see that Mayor Daley has appointed former Fire Commissioner Ray OROZCO as the new Executive Director of the city's Office of Emergency Management and Communications, "OEMC", and named John BROOKS as the new Fire Commissioner. Wait a minute, I thought that WEISS was in charge of OEMC because of his vast knowledge in fighting fires and handling disasters. What happened to WEISS wearing the two hats of Police Supt. and Director of OEMC.
Does WEISS now have to give up half his $310,000.00 salary so that Ray OROZCO can be paid.
If the Feds had done their jobs for decades this wouldn't be happening now. Corruption rampant, City, State, County Wide, Job and position selling and trading for political favors, bid rigging, theft of taxpayers money, funneled and filtered to the DemocRAT coffers, anything possible with this cabal of criminals, thief's, liars, greedy corrupt bastards. Still only a few fish caught by the famous but incompetent "G" men. Perhaps they'll get a couple more before they turn 90 or croak first. Really makes me wonder just how deep all this goes. There should have easily been between 50 to 100 indictments and convictions or more in the past decade by now, in Crook County alone. I'm sure it's not easy, but come on......
OH come on.Daley use your power and make the police officers work,make them care,make them write more tickets.Daley go to the Bud Biliken and show us hows it done.Make Cooter be the police again.PUT HIM AND HIS PARTNER back in SOS.You beat him down and now his in 001dist.He and alot of other good coppers from sos.Make them work,make them write tickets.No more above and beyond the duty.its over.
Indeed Mayor Mumbles along with the Media never get it right. Why is it so difficult to treat police officers fairly. promotions should be done across the board by seniority with a must have worked patrol on a street for 10 years. along with a pass fail test, This dept would get wonderful police officers as supervisors. (everyone gets it FAIR).Sure you may get one or two goofs however today 95% are goofs. Officer Francis would have been a great supervisor yet he was never given the opportunity.
Give me 10 hour days!!!!
I wonder if the new medical integrety uit will go after exempts that get dumped and then just go on the medical untiol they retire.
THANK YOU SCC,THANK YOU.
We havent been this united since I dont know when.We have allowed ourselves to be shit on by the city/department for decades and the FLOP is so far up the mayors ASS they cant even hear what its members are asking for(GET RID OF THE SIXTH WORK DAY DUMMIES).Thanks to your existence we have been allowed to vent and get the word out about how the second largest police department in the country functions.It's a joke.Our moron mayor continues to downsize every department in the city which gives him extra cash to line the pockets of the Olympic committee and his pals,who in turn kick back a portion to him.This is done at the expense of the honest taxpaying citizens of Shitcago who get poor city service.Oops,getting off topic...
This site has brought us together and by sticking together we have gotten out the truth on a lot of issues and hopefully positive change someday.And we did this without the help of the FLOP.
And for that I say THANKS!.......
LETS GO AFTER THE FLOP NEXT!
This is how you win. Get media to notice and public upset. Keep it up people from the ashes we may get more than we ever dreamed of.
KUDOS : SCC et al.
This site is turning around.
For the better in most cases.
I'm not so embarrassed much anymore by juvenile innuendo and back stabbing that seemed to take off out of control this past year.
It seems that people are begining to realize that this is a valid forum for idea sharing, both pro and con, but most importantly others, outsiders, are also begining to read the voices so often in the past ignored. Those are the voices of the professional police officers who are sworn and doing the job and know what's wrong and how to mend.
Finally I see a unification in the undercurrents of this site. What I read is more fact, ideas for improvement, pleas for assistance from outside sources to investigate, (media and others) and good inside information that allows readers not associated with the "system" of the CPD to become familiar with it. All written with the intent to make this a better city and living community.
I'm proud of the CPD and I hope this unity can grow and sustain
progressive efforts.
ret.
This is the way policing is going to be from now on. Get use to it.
Mother Trib is dead wrong about Kvetching. More citizens will be looking at this blog to see what we think. Isn't this a good time to stop the petty whining and bickering, and show the world that Chicago has the finest police officers in the world? The blog will be read by many, and even Jody might sneak a peek or two, without ever admitting it.
Think positive, act positive, and let's see what happens?
SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!
FLEET WILL BUY MORE SUV"S TO INTIMIDATE THE PUBLIC AND WILL EVALUATE MOUNTING A 40 CALIBER ON TOP. THIS IS AN EFFORT TO HELP THE SUPT. N OFFICERS FIGHT CRIME.......STAY TUNE
The reason morale is so low is the merit bosses. They do not have a clue aabout police work. They put down the working polce officer because they are jealousofthem. Most of them nver made a felony arrest or served a warrant. The working officers are screwed.
I've never really been a fan of this blog, but I am starting to love the fuck out of it. We (the police) need to really stick together during these tough times. Let the entire city go down in fucking flames! We all know what its like to bust our asses working two or three jobs to live in this shit city. NO CONTRACT? Fuck em. Answer the calls and thats it. Don't bring in shit for the same people who dont give a rats ass about us. I'm tired of it. Have you noticed that other cities do not have this problem with morale? That's because the head powers that be love to continue taking a shit on the brave men and women that hold this piece of shit city together.
Fuck you media! I can't wait until I turn on the tv and hear about when one of you become a victim. I hope the "lazy", "crooked", "worthless" copper that shows up gives you the police service you deserve!
when are we having another meeting with ths Supt,so we can let him know how he F us.
Why my morale is low....
1. The rising costs of everything except our wages. 1% raise city wants to give. Nice!
2. Our insurance sucks. Definitely the dental.Everyone says we have great benifits but this isn't one of them.
3. Have to live in city. How about some kind of tax reduction? I like hearing from people "I pay your salary". M'fER I have to pay taxes it's like paying myself and I'm sure person doesn't even own a thing. Property tax rebate. Something.
"The one thing that J-Fed has done is finally unite a large majority of us against the machine. That's an accomplishment that no super has done.
7/18/2008 07:34:00 AM"
And it's a testament to Weis's nature that he did so without a clue as to what he was doing.
Priceless.
"....let the police be the police!
7/18/2008 06:51:00 AM"
The police are being the police.
And, since 'they' didn't know what that would mean, they're going to have to sleep in the bed they've made for themselves.
Sweet dreams, motherfuckers.

Fuck off.
I look like we all feel.
Well it looks like another one of Tobias' hand picked merit hockey buddies has fucked up again. Merit Tact Sgt from 017 dumped for pulling another stupid manuever.

I agree its a phony unit, however if they get a head a day to they still get to go home right afterwards?
OFF Topic:
A week ago, 014 tact officer has scuffle with arrestee (Maniac Latin Disciple), officer is admitted into a hospital, and released the next day. The tact officers from same team working yesterday, and their car gets "bricked" in the same area. No one mentions this to any of the other teams, nor did they initiate an Operation Just Cause...if you are going to be in command or supervise a group...get a fuckin clue...
TRU is being forced to arrest person via QUOTA. Remember TRU this is illegal and your boss will never admit he put you in a bad position. It was a great speech boss but you aint worth going to prison for.

only read chicagoclout.com for the laugh value of it. Patrick the moderator is just a bitter $43 an hour plumber that was fired for a CLEAR violation of the residency ordinance (whether that ordinance is right or wrong is invalid) and turned in the hired truck program corruption ONLY after he was fired. he sounds like a rat snitch that got his job back because the city feared paying him for his stool pigeon lawsuit
Morale is down YO. I was cheated out of the Lt.'s test YO. No one talks while I'm talking YO.
Z/S!!!!!!!!
off comment, who is trying to dirty up the 019th District tact team by leaving "subtle" hints on SCC? Don't blame Jettner, the fewer arrests the tact team brings in, the less work the detention aid has to do. My guess its the backstabbing lt. on 2nd watch who smells blood if tact. lts. get dumped. He's trying to position himself to get the job.
I Know Merit Tac Sgt. D.M in 022 is happy because she not only made merit sgt. but went back to 022. Thank you Ginger and Brucie Boy E. YEAH RIGHT.
Wow Daley, do you have any idea how foolish you look! And it's all your own doing.
SCAB paper! Never could bring one into my house growing up, Scab paper
On behalf of my raccoon family, dogs, cats, other four-legged mammals and my tortured baby raccoon, could the Englewood police pour a couple of gallons of gasoline on sadist Roger Davidson of 56th & Bishop?
We just want to "see what happens".
Didn't Jeffrey Dahmer start out this way?
I left several books of matches at the 7th Dist. station desk.
The bosses at TRUseless have implemented a 'head a day' rule and those who do not bring in a head for two days straight will be counseled. They screwed those earlier 100 by dumping them to 003, 004, 005, and 006 and now they pull this stunt.

They're building another useless underground project for tourists by Museum Campus Drive...
But there's no money in the budget for a raise for the police.
They doubled my property taxes, put a big tax on bottled water, raised our sales tax to the highest in the nation and we have the highest taxes on cigarettes and gasoline...
But there's no money in the budget for a raise for the police.
.....and then they wonder why morale on the police department is so low???
How many retired officers might gladly volunteer to help, or be willing to be a candidate?

Keep it going SCC, your blog has finally made people realize what is truly going on. Although somehow we have to get the REAL truth into the papers. The politicians have kissed the reverends asses and created free reign for criminals in CRook county. Hell I mean damn near every politician in the city and county government should be in federal prison. How many aldermen are affiliated with gangs? Let someone do a special investigation on that. I would venture to guess almost all of south and west side aldermen and getting contributions from these gangs. They have created an environment where fucking the working copper who was just doing his job has become the norm. What copper wants to be sued or fired for doing the right thing? I personally have 2 lawsuits going and both are TOTAL BS. I have a wife, kids and work part time jobs to pay for my house, catholic school tuition and try to do things the right way. Im not risking my family for any ghetto rat anymore. I dont owe the ghetto anything, I OWE MY FAMILY EVERYTHING! Sorry but we have been without a contract for 2 yrs and they continue to look for petty ways to fuck us, and now when they realize that the city is quickly becoming the next detroit they want our help? Not happening here. Im doing my time, showing up, answering my calls and THATS IT! Sorry, thats what they wanted and thats what they got, now enjoy what you created DICK DALEY, U JAGOFF Sellout prick!
I used to love this city growing up! I never thought i would see the day that i wanted it to be fucked up even more than it already is. I guess its true when they say, sometimes things have to get worse before they get better! Well i believe we need things to hit rock bottom so people realize that when we stop, the city stops. If you want police to stop "harrassing" ghetto rats, thats what u got. We will let them run rampant and u can enjoy it! Once my time is done, I will watch from afar (very far) and laugh when i see the city go down! The day Rio wins the olympic bid will be a day of celebration for me. It will make me soo happy to know that richy is so sad!
Lead story in the Hyde Park Herald relates the ticketing of a 60 year old woman for swimming in Lake Michigan off of Promontory Point.
The article reports how it took 3 police officers plus the Chicago Police Department helicopter to remove her from the water in order to issue her a citation.
I have two questions:
1. Is this the only arrest that the helicopter unit responsible for?
2. If the National Guard is assigned to Chicago will the number of arrests for this heinous crime become a part one offense?
7/18/2008 07:05:00 AM
How is it possible that Harry Hohm would have a problem with anybody swimming in the lake.....Is it because they didn't bring their car with them? Our esteem helicpoter pilot is the very guy who drove his car into the lake for a swim years ago and now he has a problem with somebody younger then he is taking a little swim....what a fucking stroke!
You know, unlike most of you I don't dislike Weis. I'm a sergeant, with a team, and honestly I haven't been affected by any changes, good or bad. I think Weis is no doubt overwhelmed and maybe he expected a smoother transition into the fighting CPD, but you'd have taken the job too, had that bloated six figure salary been dangling in front of your face. I sure as hell would've taken it, no matter where I was from or what experience I could or couldn't bring to the table.
Sure he's put his mouth in his foot (read: joke you tard) a few times before he got used to the good ol' Chicago way, but give the guy a chance. I know, I know, I'm a douche and a kiss ass, but I don't know the man, or really care to, I got no whack nor will I ever (well, maybe down the road somewhere), so say what you will, let me have it.
I just believe in giving everyone a chance.
NOW, having said that, it gives me goosebumps to see what liberals, lawyers, moronic politicians, liberals, the savage, good ol' Daley, a lame duck FOP and lastly, liberals have done to this city...i.e. setting it on fire and watching it burn. They are truly reaping what they have all sown together.
You want to treat the men and women in blue, who protect this crumbling city day in and day out, like a red headed step-child?? THIS IS WHAT YOU FUCKING GET.
Does anyone here really care that animals are killing each other off?? I most certainly do not. 98% of these ghetto populations hate the police, don't want to see us and are completely content with and love their ridiculous lifestyle of drinking in the streets til 5am every night of the week, banging anything with a pulse, not having a job, busting caps at each other, selling dope, not changing their babies diapers, living in filth, disrespecting each other and most importantly HATING 5-0.
As a 002 district 1st watch officer once told his partner after being woken up because the good sergeant was pulling up..."FUCK 'EM."
That's right, fuck 'em all. Let 'em kill each other off.
Just one more thing, be safe out there. Back your partner up and your fellow officers, no matter what kind of job, if you're close, go. Watch each other's backs and make it to check off....15 after the hour.
OT: I'M Polish/Italian but if I contribute to the HDO like Aunt Bea Cuello, Cmdr. Alverado, Sgt. Vasquez and a host of others can I get a merit promotion like they did(numerous fucking times)? The only difference between them and me is that I was and still am the POLICE where none of those idiots ever have been yet they like to try to impress people. Useless morons!
More importantly! Which area would fit more quarters?? Jody's forehead or Ike Carouther's neckmeat????

In person, both J-TOOL's cranium and SUGARTANK IKE's neckyoke are huge, however, neither J-TOOL or SUGARTANK IKE would allow our representatives to take accurate measurements! So we went to the video tape taken recently in the side room of the City Hall Council chambers!
An analysis of professionally enhanced video, where we took exact measurements and used a precision factored compensator for varying distance from the camera, we found that these two goofs, J-TOOL and SUGARTANK IKE, could both conceivably hold 4 gallons of water, or $1000 dollars worth of twenty-five cent pieces, in their huge cranium and meaty neckyoke, respectively.
Also, not surprisingly, no visual evidence for the use of brain matter was discovered to be displayed by either of the subjects shown in the videotape, J-TOOL and SUGARTANK IKE.
J-FED will be gone soon,But Daley dont lose face,,So just sit back in that A/C car and wait.The city will go even lower,the crime rate will go up,and the bosses will cry a little more.They got what they wunt,no CRs no lawsuits,no problem.SAve cooter..And pay the coppers you put on the BIS program,and then took them off..Thats why they stopped working.
Anyone doing extra revenue collection now is a fucking rat.We are winning. I cant believe it we are winning.
The big question is:
Will enough continue to keep up the pressures of NO CONTRACT = NO CONTACT, even after a contract is signed, even a decent one?
The big answer is:
No.
SCC got credit(named) in the editorial but the comment on this blog about a major media outlet using one of SHAVEDLONGCOCK'S observations and giving him credit made me piss in my panties I was laughing so hard. Oh yes I am a female PO. My Sisters and Brothers YOU ROCK.
Im more proud than ever to be cpd. We are showing a vast majority of us are not going to take shit. Jfed you took over a dept of ass kickers not little bitches. But our families come first, money , time spent with them and health (benifits)care for them this is what we need. You know sir the same way you feel about your cats.
Word has it that the city will not / has not come to any agreement(s) on a contract until....they hear the decision as to who will win the olympic bid....so arbitration here we come.....again....You would think we have a great bargaining chip now right??? I guess if we don't get the olympics we will really get shafted!
Seiser still rules! can we get him penciled in to sing the seventh inning stretch at wrigley?
Violence, resentments of the past, greed for power & wealth are steering us into spasms of depression. Politicians wanting to stay permanently in power, leave no place for renewal. An attitude of complacency breeds great instability.
CPD, citizens of chicago are not asking for anything grand, in fact we are like the homeless guy on the street, asking 'for only a dollar.'
United AND organzied, if on this blog is what it takes to put things in motion, it's a start. First of all, STRATEGIES, let's give it its own separate blog and let's start listing what SPECIFIC actions we as a citizens can do to give us that independent voice.
For starters:
1. let's set up specific dates, like earth day, where everyone on the same page (CPD, CFD, STS/SANS, ETC), shuts off their electricity with PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE.
2. do NOT go to any chicago events, CUBS, WHITE SOX, MILLIENIUM PARK, ETC...yeah its a sacrifice but in the long run worth it...Pick specific dates so a message is sent clearly to the powers that be.
3. let's gather at buckingham fountain with our families at least showing mayor midget what families look like...pick specific dates.
4. marches always get attention, leomemorial can film it.
5. Stop going to chicago restaurants.
MONIES, MONIES, MONIES where it hurts...keep it going, more suggestions:
ALSO, lets list not only the salaries of exempts, aldermen, mayor, power players, FOP, etc ALSO list their benefits, pensions etc. Most of us really don't know their whole package SO when they have something to say publicly, we can know some of their motivation.
ANYONE? DOES IT SOUND LIKE A PLAN?
Off Topic but would somebody please take that useless fuckin' helicopter away from Harry the Hat and his BOYS. I work mids and the fucking thing woke me up continuously flying around. The only thing those assholes do is listen to the radio, fly overhead to a domestic and when I arrive at the scene to talk to Pookie who has just been BITCHSLAPPED by Boo because she was fucking around all night they(The Hat) tell me he(Boo) is hiding in bushes 5 blocks from where I'm at. Who cares? They both be back in love on payday. Harry the Hat if you're that concerned ground that useless thing and come and lock Boo up you ignorant old fuck.
HEY SCC!!!!
DO YOU HAVE AN INSIGHT ON WHY WE HAVE CIVILIAN AND SWORN OFFICERS AT 35TH STREET UNDER THE DISGUISE OF FLEET MANAGEMENT WHEN IN FACT THE DEPT. OF FLEET MANAGEMENT IS ANOTHER CITY ENTITY AND GETS PAID BIG DOLLARS TO MANAGE OUR FLEET.
NEWS ARTICLE QOUTED THE SUPT. SAYING OUR FLEET IS IN VERY BAD SHAPE.
JOYCE FROM DEPT OF FLEET PLACED AN ORDER FOR MORE SUV"S AND BY THE SAME TOKEN, WANTS CPD TO CUT DOWN ON FUEL CONSUMPTION....
WHO REALLY CONTROLS OUR FLEET???????????
NEWS ALERT!!!!!!!
The Chicago Police Department will quadruple its fleet of gas-guzzling Chevrolet Tahoe SUVs this year -- to more than 200 -- under a contract in the works sure to please Supt. Jody Weis.
Weis has argued that the Police Department's fleet -- 36 SUVs and 2,753 sedans -- is in "horrible" condition and that SUVs make more sense to get through Chicago's winters.
7/18/2008 01:54:00 AM:
I'm not gonna vote for Peraica necessarily because I'm Re-pub lickin' or to disrupt any particular political party's domination over city and county cronyism, but primarily because Peraica's the best half-assed 'reformer' candidate to choose from who also has a nice ass.
However, I do agree with you that replacing all incumbent machine hacks with 'nouveau' republican hacks is definitely the way to go here.
P.S., is it too late to join your "shill"?
Here we go again folks. It's time for the ghetto rats to fork over their non-functioning guns for a $100 gift card that will be traded for a real gun that could kill you or me.
*Most of those turning in guns are the older folks that have shotguns & things of that nature. Many guns were left behind by deceased relatives that are not wanted. Very very few young thugs turn in their weapons.
More importantly! Which area would fit more quarters?? Jody's forehead or Ike Carouther's neckmeat????
7/18/2008 07:57:00 AM
Push.
I HATE ketchuping. Bring on the mustard...DIJON!
GREAT JOB SCC!!! CONGRATS ON UNIFYING US IN A WAY IN WHICH WE NEVER COULD HAVE BEEN UNIFIED!! NOW IS THE TIME TO KEEP UP THE HEAT! LETS SHOW THEM WHO REALLY IS BOSS! NO MOVERS! NO PARKERS!

------------------------------------
LOUD, ANGRY, NOISES!!! AAARRRRGGGHHH
7/18/08.6:20am,
Thanks for that web addy. I never heard of that website.
The corruption of the Daley Machine which we now have is far beyond anything we have seen in several generations. It's spreading to the suburbs to assure another development cash cow that Daley can carve up with no-bid contracts, i.e. the O’Hare expansion. The 2016 Olympics are also in Daley’s no-bid, graft, grand plan scheme.
All our money is going to the Middle East and China to be invested in the infrastructure in those countries at the expense of ours.
I can understand a mayor having to cultivate the limited number of jobs as much as possible.
But to make those jobs available to only a small, connected, incompetent clique, regardless of qualification; and to allow the magnitude of theft that has been going on in this city, that is appalling and it's destroying the city and starting to destroy surrounding suburbs. Daley then sticks it to the rest of us who aren't in the clique with his "Sanctuary City" bullshit vote grabbing as hard working Chicagoians foot the bill for it all.
As a citizen, I'm behind the CPD and the CFD and any other crucial city department holding a work stoppage in protest of the administration of this city, a vote of no confidence in the Mayor and his greedy, criminal stakeholders.
This graft combine is so entrenched; this is how things might have to go in order to get the majority of Chicagoans to de-ass and get rid of Chicago and the Illinois political parties comming together under the "Green Party" politics as it exists now. Or, in the vernacular of Kinky Friedman of Texas, “poly-ticks”..."poly" meaning "many"…and "ticks" meaning "bloodsuckers".
Some of those put in power are immune from elections because their jobs are secured with contracts acquired with the blessing of elected officials who placed them in those positions. I recall Ryan doing that just before he left office for federal prison. So that means, if ever a right-minded person is elected, he is going to be pissing in the wind till those employment contracts expire.
If the city departments that the working people of this city rely on have a work stoppage and the rank-and-file of those departments make it clear the work slowdown/stoppage is a no-confidence protest in the Daley Crime Family, this square dance might come to and end much sooner then later.
There are more of us then there are of them. Eventually they and the families entrenched in government will be eliminated from our government. To get there the shit really has to hit the fan.
Let the city burn. Lance the boil. The city will rise again from the ashes administered by people with better work and ethics.
Sadly, it seems that's our only choice because those who should be doing things about things getting to this point, the FBI and Patrick Fitzgerald and the media seem have there heads up there collective asses or perhaps they are getting a piece of the action so as to get there "share" to look the other way.
De-policing is what the alder-monsters have asked for ,for many years. I guess the voting blocks of some aldermens districts want lawlesness.
My concern is for our families and our safety. Lets face facts this city is not what it once used to be. It is a city jock full of people (i use losely) that are waiting for an oppertunity to evoke anarchy.Our hands off approach coupled with the current regime of thoughtless, ball-less bosses, bad economy = equals a perfect storm!
When Obama loses, or wins (god help ,freedom lovers)this city will be the match that strikes and lights. Observing the "packing" that many of the young soon to be scientists are doing and the "violent" and destructive ways of the black youths in Chicago, for whatever reason, it will be very bad. (the above can be backed up by facts and stats on crime in the United States from 1970-2008 age /gender of offenders)I mean half the department will have to protect precious downtown. Where does that leave our few island neighborhoods?? Better get the army waiting and ready with beat maps.
Since we are winning and everyone is pointing their finger at everyone else but us for once...
6-days...ridiculous...midnight police court being at 1330 hrs...thanks...no range...senseless...NO CONTRACT....
CR's...Lawsuits...Media backlash for being proactive...
NO WORK.
Hey Media...as you point your finger back at the MAAAYO...Why don't you work on ride alongs on the south side to see how you would handle situations.
(Change of pants and undershorts recommended.)
As a police officer I'm just too concerned about my taxes, city sticker, lack of contract, to worry about police work at this time in my career.
This is off topic, and perhaps I missed this news in previous postings, but did you see that Mayor Daley has appointed former Fire Commissioner Ray OROZCO as the new Executive Director of the city's Office of Emergency Management and Communications, "OEMC", and named John BROOKS as the new Fire Commissioner. Wait a minute, I thought that WEISS was in charge of OEMC because of his vast knowledge in fighting fires and handling disasters. What happened to WEISS wearing the two hats of Police Supt. and Director of OEMC.
Does WEISS now have to give up half his $310,000.00 salary so that Ray OROZCO can be paid.
7/18/2008 08:54:00 AM
I know the SCUM-TIMES and the FIBUNE are hated, but you have to start reading the news or watching CHICAGO TONIGHT on Channel 11.
WEIS was not ever appointed to wear the two hats of Police Superintendent and Director of OEMC.
He was appointed as the Police Superintendent and the Chief Emergency Management Officer (CEO), which was Cortez TROTTER's old job after he retired from the CFD.
Formerly, technically, and to justify the yearly 300K for WEIS, the heads of CPD (WEIS), CFD (OROZCO) and OEMC (RUIZ) all reported to the CEO, which was WEISS. Odd, but true.
Now, does the current line-up of CPD (WEIS), CFD (BROOKS) and OEMC (OROZCO) still report to the CEO (WEIS)? Still odd, if true.
And remember, WEIS still gets his 300K, which is money from the CPD Superintendent's job and the CEO job. Orozco did NOT retire from CFD and still gets his 180K, which is probably the money sort of shifted on paper from the Director of the OEMC job. BROOKS gets bumped up to 180K as the head of CFD.
So the end all is, WEIS still gets his 300K as the Superintendent of the CPD and as the CEO. RUIZ got kicked out of OEMC and took a hit in pay, but that happened before this most recent bout of musical chairs began. BROOKS gets a pay hike with his promotion to CFD Commisioner, but OROZCO gets it stuck to him. He could have retired from his sworn position and been rehired as the civilian Director of OEMC, thereby having two income sources, but he and the Mayor were insistant that he was NOT retiring from city service in the CFD.
The moral of the story is, MUMBLES can do whatever he wants, for as long as he wants, whenever he wants, however he wants, to whomever he wants, with the absolute authority and power he wants to ensure is maintained for as long as possible, without retribution of any sort, legal or otherwise. The only term limit imposed on him will be by divine authority in the form of a coronary thrombosis, even though U.S. Attorney FITZGERALD has tried and tried and tried to find the finger he could place on MUMBLES.
SCC, Brown shirt here.
We're coming whether we like it or not because the Guv is pushing it forward. So I need to bring up a few points.
When we start assisting with this BS, how are we supossed to communicate with each other, considering both agencies have horse shit radios? If we're involved in a serious incident (police shooting,etc.) who'll be handling the case, the review board made up of Daley's cronies? (That'll be the day)
The public complains now about the shortage of troopers on the highway now, just wait till this goes into full swing.
And since we're doing this in Chicago , why not go into the Heights, Rockford, Joliet, East St. Louis, etc. every frickin town that has gangs.
You guys are the best.
off topic, but in the sun times today one of the stories is that the city just bought 162 new chevy tahoe's for the police department. first, i like the tahoe's but in the winter they are horrible. they are rear wheel drive and in rain or snow they are dangerous...however, im not complaining. i think the tahoe's are cool and are very comfortable. the only drawback is the article said that the city did not purchase any sedans(crown vic's) and these trucks are the only new cars that will be provided for the year. so all those crappie pool cars and old beat cars are going to remain..162 new trucks is not going to fix the horrible car situation this department if facing.
"Kvetching, whether from blogging cops or preening aldermen, won't accomplish anything."
When they say shit like this, the Tribune writers, all products of the liberal leftist English and Journalism colleges, show how exceedingly fucking dumb they really are. This blog works because it's true FREEDOM of SPEECH, and there's nothing Daley can do about it.
SCC is a way for CPD members to talk directly and honestly to the people, and that is something the politicians fear most.
One thing that the blog has done has pointed out corruption in this department. Finally the papers are grabbing hold of these clout inexperience nobodies.
1st Deputy Superintendent James Jackson.
Chief of Patrol Cuello.
Deputy Superintendent of Investigations Steve Peterson aka "Screaming Skull".
Deputy Superintendent Shields.
General Counsel Kirby.
Director of News Affairs Monique Bond.
And we will not forget Sgt. Deputy Chief James Special K Keating. Daleys Toilet Paper Carrier.
Thank you,
SCC
Job Well Done!
I love it all we have to do is keep up what we are already doing. Which is our job as report takers.
Pretty soon plastic heads Weis, Aunt Bea (I should have been indicted for the shooting years ago) and his right hand idiot FireMarshall Bill will be gone. I predict by Christmas. Obviously no offense to Jim Carrey for the Fire Marshall Bill comment.
Great job ladies and gentlemen, all we need to do now is wait and see how the world's largest baby sitting parade goes off.
I am praying for chaos amongst the animals.
Hey Weis bring your butt buddy Brust down and join in then you can see what we go through on a daily basis. I won't help my breath cause you never were and never will be the Police.
lets also point out that we still don't have a contract. Everything is going up in price but we can't even get a raise equal to the cost of living increase. The City/Mayor refuse to negotiate anything. The hell with FOP's agreement not to take the contract to the news. This is to our benefit.
On a different note, all Detectives in the Bomb and Arson Unit work 99. Including on midnights. Not only that, they have to process their own scenes, collect evidence, photographs etc. this is bullshit! This is really unsafe.
So when are the federal civil rights violations gonna be placed against the police for taking guns from folks homes? Go down the list of cops who have taken the most guns in violation of the second amendment. Charge them!
To 7/18/2008 10:21:00 AM:
"Isn't this a good time to stop the petty whining and bickering, and show the world that Chicago has the finest police officers in the world?"
No dick head, come and work with no contract or put in a slip in and get it denied (you don't even have a clue what that is). Keep your shit opinion to yourself and stay off this blog.
Thank-You Joe Birkett for defending us. You have our support for Governor.

Gee let me guess an m/2 w/an Irish surname perhaps?
Did he scratch his ass on the way out& give you the "whaddya lookn at,I gets hungry too" eyeball?
There's dozens of thoses cretins thourghout the city odd part they're usually the ones with less than 6 years on the job 4 of them in the D Unit.
Cmdrs.(?) Aunt Bea and Alverado and all you other scared thangs. Come out into the Districts and be the REAL police. Come on Danny Alv. He doesn't know his ass from his mouth. Quick call Diane who you would like to do. Show these lil asses you know how to be the police. You tell them all the time. I'm sure your son is proud of you. Worked for Danny boy in 025 and he was so overwhelmed. Went to 023 same thing-overwhelmed. Went to ERPS-overwhelmed. Went to Special Activities-OVERWELMED. Where does it stop? Maybe with the civilian who is as dumb he is. JODY- DISBAND THAT FUCKING UNIT. ALVERADO IS A STUPID FUCKING IDIOT WITH HIS ASS KISSIN BOYS(JR). HE'S GOT NO CLUE.

Prepare to get some manpower back in the districts. The bosses at TRUseless have implemented a 'head a day' rule and those who do not bring in a head for two days straight will be counseled. They screwed those earlier 100 by dumping them to 003, 004, 005, and 006 and now they pull this stunt. You would have to be a moron to put in an application to get there and almost equally as dumb if u were to stay there.
7/18/2008 02:03:00 AM
THATS why TRU gets so much crap to begin with... tact and gang guys, at least when I was one, tried our best to come in with one a day... and there was NEVER a two day period with no head... It was a pride thing... we like our job, and that was why we were there. How hard is it to lock someone up when you have 8 hours with ZERO calls? Sounds to me like most of the TRU kids should never have been over there in the first place. Shocking.

Did you just put Burbon Street and Professionalism in the same sentence????????
Dep Chief Keating is the poster boy for why not to have merit!!!!!!!
should be blasted by city hall daily,
Mayor Daley is their friend, Don't you get it. He wants them to make big bucks. what the fuck is wrong with you hair-JELLO dudes.
Sadly it really doesn't matter if the trib or any other media outlets focus on the slimy and totally corrupt daley empire. he gets re-elected by ginormous numbers
Not true only 28% of Chicago voted and yes Daley did get 70%. What is wrong with the rest of these goofs. of course FOP elections only 30% of active PO'S voted.
best stat EVER!
average TRU officer gets 1.5 arrest and 5 contact cards a month.
WOW truly amazing.
Hey at least I wear a tie unlike half the 1st watch guys at Area FIVE!!!!

.....and then they wonder why morale on the police department is so low???
7/18/2008 12:30:00 PM
Did you forget about those beautiful French made CTA bus shelters which are shattered every other week?
Did anyone notice that the low murder rate years match those that Maurer was Chief of Patrol? Just a thought.
Why is the Dept. so messed up ??
Since I been on I've seen
1. Good cops bitched at by bosses for locking up drug dealers because the lazy cops were bitching that these cops were never taking jobs because they were down on arrests all the time.
2. Seen the school patrol disbanded and dumped wherever they wanted.And then crime spring out of control at the schools.
3.Seen Housing offered 10 hour days to get workers..and after three years city takes this away and puts them back on 6 day schedule to f%ck with them...and to top it off ..then they dump them all to sh$t Districts as the final thanks..
4. Seen S.O.S. officers who were some of the hardest workers I knew all get dumped to sh#tholes because of the few asshats that should have been weeded out a long time ago. As if they all were worthless to begin with. Glad these guys have stuck to their guns..they deserved better..and now they can show it.
5. Seen new Super come in and blanket dump tons of good knowledgable bosses to make a statement without really looking into how many of these were the real deal. Hope all these bosses join this cause...
6. Seen Cozzi case...enough said...what a bonehead move... nobodys ever gonna trust you Jodi,no matter what you say ..and we know you are incompetent.We know why your here..and your not one of us...
7.Seen people taken from desk jobs and put on the streets in high crime spots...like they are going to aggressively police..They just got as disgruntled as the rest..
8.Seen tons of officers messed with and denied time for not writing enough movers or curfews..
9.Seen merit promotions without any justification for why these were meritorious selections...other than political clout...and have never really seen anyone promoted meritoriously who was deserving and would have gotten respect from other officers...for a positive example!
10. Seen 100 people dumped from TRU including supervisors to midnights in districts..
11.Seen a mayor bash this department for years in the media along with reverands and alderman.And now they finally wanna tell us they need us..Why ...because now we can communicate all the ways that they messed with us. And now they are scrambling..
12.Seen a certain boss...Tina...messing with the S.S.Irish parade..locking up drinkers...If this doesnt happen at the Biliken parade..then eiter you are a hypocrit or a racist..There shold be plenty of drinkers and pot smokers blatantly ignoring the law in front of officers..or is there a doulble standard at these parades!!!
They never had our backs and now everyone sees it..
6 Day work weeks....Still!!!
Do your jobs and thats all...and let them figure out a way to get our respect back..until then
If your on a tact team and they gonna make you get heads now...let the bangers roam..lock up quality of life only...
Send the message we will be back when they give us repercussions for their past mistakes..
I thought that MERIT promotions were suppose to take care of this department so that we could finally get to the 90s. Oh well!!!
SCC
Well it looks like Nationally the Media has finally taken notice. CNN has been running pieces all day about the Crime inrease in the City. The Blago offer for the Guard and the ISP got their attention. Although we know that the ISP could not afford to send moe then a handful of people to "Help Out" they are so short handed the very thought of it has got to get Daleys Balls tied in a knot.
Fact: for years the patrol division has been struggling to keep the lid on the gargbage can in most South and West side districts. Although that area is steadily expanding they were doing a reasonablly good job, in spite of the incompetent bosses promoted due to affirmative action and political correctness.. Their were still enough competent leaders to protect the workers, supply direction and motivation and continue the struggle against the tide of shit that keep trying to surge forward. It took good aggresive pay attention police work to sort through the daily bull shit and make the arrests that were needed to keep the community on a somewhat peaceful course. Although we never totally won the war we coould contain the trash.
Then along came some bad press, indictments of the SOS renegades and some off duty stupity.
What to do What to do? Dont punish the guilty but screw the rest. Dont listen to the few good leaders still on the Department. look past them and get this Jag Bag J-Fed who knows absolutely NOTHING ABOUT BEING THE REAL POLICE. He was brough in to be a hatchett man and bring fear to the troops to get them in line. Well it looks like he did a great job of it.
The real police in PATROL who are on the front lines every day- around the clock have had it. Guys like Big Bird, One of the laziest ass holes I ever had working for me, When he was a Desk Sgt in 009 are destroying morale. Going after Cozzi after he had been punished sealed your fate with the real men and women who you need to address problems in the district each day. All your bull shit, new cars, big guns blah blah blah arn't fooling anyone you are here to change the culture of the Department we know it, and guess what you have achieved your goal. The culture of work, protecting the citizens has been changed. We are now motorized clerks recording the history of crime in Chicago. The fear of getting jammed up ( self preservation) has taken hold of 90percent of the patrol division. Dont look for an increae in activity to save your sorry ass, it wont happen, All the specialized unit TRU, new SOS wont make a hill of beans difference. What you need is beyond your grasp. The loyalty and detication of the patrol division personnel. Wont happen for you everyone of them can see through your bull shit, Go see Daley , go to the papers, tell them you need more police, tell them you need better radios, cars and a solid contract with protections built in for the police to protect them from BS cr #s. The department ignores the state mandated signed affadavit to lodge a CR # because they want to kiss the reverends ass. In short J-Fed you are through and dont know it. You have promoted incompetent, inexperienced boobs. Jimmy Jackson and Aunt Bea are way over their heads, dont ask them for suggestions they already showed their incompetence on July 3rd. Mayor Daley you wanted this Police Department you got it.
off subject: funraiser at bourban street on sunday 1 to 6 for mike sheahan who has cystic fibrousis needs a lung transplant. comes from a police family. uncle is sheriff sheahan, other uncles and cousins are cpd. anybody who goes would be greatly appreciated by the sheahan family.
Any idea why civilians at 35th are allowed to drive marked squad cars??????????????????????????????
Hey idiot that was the marine unit boat that did that arrest. This just shows the ignorance out there.
What did stupid steve in 017 do now?
Another thing, it may come as a shock but jfed was not the first pick for this shithole job, more like third, the other two were smart enough to turn it down. Again, this stupid mayor settles for second best.
Dear SCC, I apologize for giving my "shit opinion" as described by 7/17 4:40 pm.
Now I gotta be a dickhead on top of it? It was very wrong of me to suggest that the kiddies stop whining and bickering in front of the public, who might hold the same shit opinion I do, that Chicago Police Officers are the finest in the world.
And I got my first "NMP" time due denial in the days of yore.
I have said it before and I'll say it again. They have killed this job not us! They have lost us and this time it's for real. The city, politicians, fake revs, dept. leadership etc. etc. have a vote of no confidence! They have lied and turned their backs on us over and over and we finally learned. We have no trust and now we have to protect ourselves. They have beaten the desire out of us to be
motivated and aggressive. Their message of "wr watching you" scar tactics that they have been sending us for years has finally been received!
The city fucks with us every time our contract expires. We get paid very little while the costs around us keeps going up. It's not just about the money it shows how the city feels about the job we do. Great work brothers lets keep it up and stick together!
Make Daly accountable for all monies, every last red cent. Thieving corrupt POS.

**It will never happen. Blago was just throwing a couple of shots at Daley. Daley is way too proud to admit defeat. He will never take Blago's offer.
This validates everything that SCC has done. When the Tribune and Sun Times and other news sources rely on SCC for editorial content, rather than threir own reporters and the 35th st. contacts, then SCC has become truly legitimate. This web site does more for good investigative journalism than the entire Chicago media. There is a lot of Kissing Bandit bull shit on this web, but there is a lot of truth as well.

"Kvetching, whether from blogging cops or preening aldermen, won't accomplish anything."
When they say shit like this, the Tribune writers, all products of the liberal leftist English and Journalism colleges, show how exceedingly fucking dumb they really are. This blog works because it's true FREEDOM of SPEECH, and there's nothing Daley can do about it.
SCC is a way for CPD members to talk directly and honestly to the people, and that is something the politicians fear most.
7/18/2008 04:01:00 PM
I believe you have misunderstood the editorial writer's (or writers') use of the word "kvetching." I think they are talking about the childish, whiny and backstabbing dialogue that still pervades this blog on a daily basis. This same dialogue, while often entertaining to us, is probably the reason outsiders have not taken us seriously (until lately). Kind of like the whiny complainer at roll call -- no one really listens. If we expect the media and the public to pay attention, we should start articulating our opinions and concerns in a more adult and professional manner.
I would like to see the alder-folks/people out on the streets at night with the folks/people from their community doing a neighborhood watch :)
If their so concerned, they should be out there on foot patrol doing something about it.
NEWS ALERT!!!!!!!
The Chicago Police Department will quadruple its fleet of gas-guzzling Chevrolet Tahoe SUVs this year -- to more than 200 -- under a contract in the works sure to please Supt. Jody Weis.
Weis has argued that the Police Department's fleet -- 36 SUVs and 2,753 sedans -- is in "horrible" condition and that SUVs make more sense to get through Chicago's winters.
**Another tax hike to pay to gas them
"Anyone doing extra revenue collection now is a fucking rat.We are winning. I cant believe it we are winning.
7/18/2008 01:47:00 PM"
Steady now, steady......
We're not winning YET, just beginning to be felt, like a pebble that's worked it's way into their jackboots, irritating at first, but, if not removed, will begin to bruise the hell out of the bottom of their tender feet.
And as this pebble grows in size, it will become more and more of a problem for them to continue their goose-stepping without feeling the pain, until, eventually, they'll have to try to do something to remove it.
To do that, they'll either have to stop goose-stepping or hop on one leg. Ever try goose-stepping on one leg? So they'll have to stop marching, try to pull off their boots, sitting down on their asses on the side of the road, to remove that now marble sized pebble.
They will then all become sitting targets.
The more little storm troopers that have pebbles in their boots, the longer those pebbles remain in their boots and the larger those pebbles become, the greater the number, of little hitler's soldiers, will be and will have to stop and try to remove those pebbles, thus resulting in many of said soldiers becoming sitting targets squatting on the side of the road.
And what is the difference between a moving target and a sitting target?
The analogy may not be the most elegant, but substitute politics for the road they are goose stepping down, machine party hacks for the soldiers and any/every action/inaction for the pebbles, and you can see how effectively this house of cards that daley's built can come falling down, just because of the affects of what some might think are just a few, small, insignificant pebbles.
All because of the tender nature of the bottoms of their little feet.
How does that old saying go?

The courts are awarding duty-disability over the objections of the medical section. Does anybody know if those on duty-disability are re-evaluated on a regular basis?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Did you even bother to read the opinion? No, I can tell because I did, but I do thank you for the link. 5 doctors said she could not return to work and the medical section didn’t offer her a light duty position because she was never released from her doctor’s care. The med’s she takes according to GO prevent her from working a light duty position or even carrying her weapon. Even the pension board doctor said she cannot return to work as a police officer.
Blame your pension board trustees for of thousands of dollars of your pension money spent on fighting this case. Oh and by the way all that money goes into Kuglers pocket, the pension boards attorney. You should be asking how much did Kugler charge YOUR PENSION FUND fighting this case. I’ll bet if you checked with the pension board you will find at least ½ a million a year is paid to his firm fighting disabled officers, and he loses the majority! While Kugler is screwing with our disabled officers they are paying their own insurance, about $1000 a month for a family of 4, paying an attorney to fight their own pension board, and if they are lucky enough to get ordinary disability @ 50% 1 for 4 yrs on the job, it’s taxable. Try to raise a family on that!
I don’t know this officer but if she won in the appellate court she had a good case. Screw Kugler! Glad she won. Chalk one up for the disabled PO’s. The pension board is going back to it's old ways. They are letting Kugler run the show, again. I hope all of the elected trustee’s for the active officers get voted out next election in Nov. because not one of them have a set N**ts between them to stand up to Kugler.
Be afraid brothers and sisters in blue, do not risk getting hurt. Let the bad guys run. Not only do you have to worry about the mayor, alderman, and J-FED not backing you up, put the pension board and its elected trustees on that list. If you get hurt on duty you are on your own unless it’s a high profile case or you have juice.

It should also be noted that in 1990 there were NO advanced life support ambulances! Also trauma care and medicine has evolved considerably since 1990.
We should add a column on aggravated batteries with handgun for each year and extrapolate that into live/deceased after shot by year!!!
I BET MORE PEOPLE ARE SHOT NOW, BUT SURVIVE DUE TO MODERN MEDICINE AND TRAUMA SERVICES WITH WAY MORE AMBULANCES RUNNING.
MEDIA, DO SOME WORK ON THIS ONE!!!
off comment, who is trying to dirty up the 019th District tact team by leaving "subtle" hints on SCC? Don't blame Jettner, the fewer arrests the tact team brings in, the less work the detention aid has to do. My guess its the backstabbing lt. on 2nd watch who smells blood if tact. lts. get dumped. He's trying to position himself to get the job.
7/18/2008 11:30:00 AM
Jetter is a wantabe
Hey Media you want to know why the CPD is de-policing? Simple, go to you tube and watch the the fine college student who is ONLY going to be a Doctor IF he gets shot and the media interviews his family. This piece of shit is harassing a lone female officer into a confrontation while filming her. When she finally confronts him he threatens to call OPS and does on his cell phone. The shitty part about the whole scenario is that IRPA will take that complaint and that officer now has to justify her actions. Change the bullshit complaint system and give us a fair contract and I guarantee you no south side future doctor will challenge a CPD officer like that!!
God Bless SCC!
God Bless the CPD!
What courage and desire for truth and justice!
Now if the moronic media could only see what a goldmine it would be to take apart the corruption of the city and publicly out Daley (the fat pig monster that everyone's afraid of)! Out the judges and lawyers, criminal politicians and clout that are destroying it! People wouldn't be able to stop reading/watching! How bout the TRUTH for a change from the media!
Whatever your race, grow some balls and stand for the truth. Cops must be protected. they must get rough in the ghetto sometimes to protect us! You (media) try their job! I'm from DETROIT and thought I'd come to a BETTER CITY! What a waste of the once great city of Chicago! This is a REPEAT NIGHTMARE!!!
Oh and how about holding the ghetto rats accountable for building up their own lives like all the old time immigrants who started in ghetto poverty had to. This is about the AMERICAN IDEAL. For God's sake, it isn't totally lost yet! Handouts don't breed independence and freedom isn't free! With freedom comes responsibility! Duh!
I pray the public starts reading and wakes up!
Keep it up! Thank You! Be Safe!
GREAT JOB!

Remember Boys and Girls: Dick Daley before Daley Dicks You.
Dear SCC, I apologize for giving my "shit opinion" as described by 7/17 4:40 pm.
Why are you apologizing to us? We aren't the one talking shit to you. Stop attributing comments to us that aren't us.
"Not true only 28% of Chicago voted and yes Daley did get 70%. What is wrong with the rest of these goofs. of course FOP elections only 30% of active PO'S voted.
7/18/2008 05:52:00 PM"
And that 28% who voted were only those who've registered.
How many citizens meet the qualifications for voting and are not registered?
As I understand it, there are only three:
1- A citizen of the U.S.A.
2- 18 years of age or older
3- A resident of the electoral area whose elected offices you're voting on
Not much required, so, how hard can it be for a citizen to register and exercise their right to vote?
to 9:38 pm : you are way off, son. try anywhere from 4000 - 9000 hours on the books. You should have seen how much $ the last crew of forced to retire exempts took with them. Dirty rotten lyin cheatin thives.
Mr. Dardick is the author of the Tribune Article linked to this blog commenting on police work slowing down. I hope one of his counterparts or he himself finds this response. If someone wants to forward it to him or point it out to him, I would appreciate it.
Mr. Dardick,
I have just read your article for the first time. It is written in a manner which appears to accurately reflect comments made by Mayor Daley and Supt. Weis. However, it also immediately proceeds to AGAIN detail why the CPD has been a topic in the news, with particular emphasis of the unacceptable behavior of a few individuals---the exact reason why this article was necessary in the first place! Is it not enough to say that the Department had faced harsh criticism due to the alleged illegal activity of several individual members? Of course not...because...it is much more interesting to spell out the details again while simultaneously justifying why there were so many articles written in the first place!
I do not know if this was your intention, but it appears to me that you had the opportunity in this article to consider the comments from the Mayor, the Superintendent, and Donahue, reflect on them, and yet chose to author an article which does exactly what those who you had quoted requested that you refrain from doing - reiterating the past.
There are 13,500 + police officers, or so I have been told.
The media has twisted the actions of 5 ( And I agree this is 5 too many) into a reflection of the whole.
5 divided by 13,500 = 0.00037%
What does the math tell you?
I am going to continue to do the job I swore to do to the best of my ability. Every Day. I will protect you, your loved ones, my friends and my enemies. I will protect those who can not protect themselves and some who certainly could. AND most importantly, I will continue to live by the law I have sworn to uphold. Without exception. And as disgruntled as my peers and I may be, deep down, we all believe and follow this ethical roadmap despite what our intermediate feelings may reflect in frustration on this and other blogs.
It is articles like yours, Mr. Dardick, that make me continue to feel like I have been "kicked in the nuts" every morning when I enter my squad car. Thanks for today's jolt.
Be well, Sir. My brothers and sisters will continue to be there when you need us despite the fact that you made our collective job a little more difficult today.
Prepare to get some manpower back in the districts. The bosses at TRUseless have implemented a 'head a day' rule and those who do not bring in a head for two days straight will be counseled.

Regardless of the 'popularity contest', nobody's upset that he filed against that captain except maybe her handpicked favorites. I'm hoping he wins back every penny she got from the city in her two 'I deserve that promotion' lawsuits. That was YOUR tax money, ladies and gentlemen, gone to line HER pockets. What a farce.
People WILL bid to the watch now that she's gone. By the way, didn't a bunch of people bail from 17 on her arrival? Didn't see anyone following her out of 19, though.
heres a disturbing fact from 1990-2007 not including 2008 there has been a total of 12,626 people murdered in chicago. Im just sayn.
The bosses at TRUseless have implemented a 'head a day' rule and those who do not bring in a head for two days straight will be counseled. They screwed those earlier 100 by dumping them to 003, 004, 005, and 006 and now they pull this stunt.
_____________________
Um... Doesn't TRU spend a lot of time in 003, 004, 005 and 006? So it wouldn't make a difference if they got dumped anyway, right? So WHY risk your jobs to meet an unlawful quota for a unit that is not respected when you can sit back and relax on the watch..
Just a thought for you 2 year wonders... maybe you can write a thesis on it.
Orozco is chief emergency officer, as well as head of OEMC. Weis has emasculated but the taxpayers still have to pay him.
7/18/2008 09:14:00 PM
Not true. You are confusing the Chief Emergency Officer (CEO)position as being part of the Director of the OEMC job. Although OROZCO does have an emergency management component in the OEMC, it does not automatically make him the CEO. Odd, but true.
OROZCO is the Director of the OEMC. WEIS is the Superintendent of Police and the Chief Emergency Officer. CFD, CPD & OEMC all report to the CEO, maybe just on paper, but that is the way it is configured by Mayor Mumbles and it is confusing at best.

Bush is fighting very hard for this. Also the war is not due to the 9-11, it was for money and power. They dont give a flying fuck about the working class. the die hards dont see the real picture they are blinded by the propaganda they send out about being a true american and following their( RICH AMERICA) objectives. Open your eyes and question there bullshit. Republican party is as worthless as the democratic liberals. Both the rich Democrats and Republicans LIE like any political (DALEY) piece of shit (WEIS). Stand united but be aware of the bullshit dont believe everything even if you want to. Question everything, because everything they promise is dont for their benefit($$$) not us. Both of these idoit promote bullshit(obama & mcclain) oBAMA is a hater and McClain(lies) doent even support the GI bond for veterans..a Vetern questioned him and he out right lied

The one thing that J-Fed has done is finally unite a large majority of us against the machine. That's an accomplishment that no super has done.

This is one of the most brilliant posts--it took a FED to unite us! Without him we would all just still be laying in the weeds! We should THANK J-Fed! Never in the history of CPD have we been this united. PLEASE, keep it up, and maybe ratchet it up!
YAY!
