Weis Learning the Game
After being roundly spanked by the aldercreatures, J-Fed takes some cues from the mayor:
- A key Chicago alderman blasted Gov. Blagojevich on Thursday for insulting Chicago with his offer to put state troopers on the city's streets to fight "out of control crime."
But police Supt. Jody Weis was more diplomatic, inviting the State Police to "come on down" and work with Chicago cops.
"I would welcome a partnership with the Illinois State Police," Weis said in a news conference Thursday. "They are a professional, top-notch law enforcement agency. If they are willing to send more folks to come down here and work with us, I would say 'Please come on down.' "
But Weis questioned why the State Police have yanked other assistance from Chicago. "Their gun-tracking team was discontinued before I got here," he said of a State Police unit that worked with the Chicago Police. "In talking to some of our folks, that was the one thing that the Illinois State Police did a fantastic job at."
Aside from telling the ISP to "come on down" (it should be "come on up to Chicago"), J-Fed disingenuously accepts the governor's offer with one hand while subtly slapping the ISP with his other for pulling their gun-tracking team. Of course, it's safe for J-Fed to accept the governor's offer because ISP is short 500 troopers, has worse cars than we do and would pretty much be limited to helping out their own backlogs on the Chicago interstates rather than District law enforcement. If it never happens, Blago looks like the ass, not Daley.
The article states Daley is "out of town" again, so draw your own conclusions about that one.

Notice also the implication that the reason we could use 'extra' help has nothing to do with the never admitted manpower shortage.
And some people want to 'give Weis a chance'.
To do what?
Correct me if I'm wrong on this, but... Is this like J-fed admitting that the Chicago Police Department short officers?
Hmmmm?
I know ISP is short.
Daley's not out of town; he's out of the COUNTRY. He does that a lot, but I'm sure it's very critical MAYORAL work he's doing.
I wonder if Huh went along this time, too?
Instead of hiring the ISP to assist us, it would be more economical to hire back CPD for time and a half. The city would not have to pay benefits for extar police and we could get a little OT out of it.
I'm all for seeing those sexy ISP guys running around my district. yum.
Here In Ct We Have Chicago East,ie The City Of Hartford.Yes Another Chicago. Short about 100 Or so Cops,For Such a Small City That Is A Lot, Rampant Corruption,Fake Revs Aplenty, Politicians Who Shine Over Reality & Honor Students Who Shoot Each Other & Innocents Too. Also A Crime Rate Outta Control. It's So Bad The Punks & Thugs Commit Shootings & Crime In Downtown Not Just Thier Own Hoods & They Wonder WHY The Down Town Area Rolls Up At 5pm.
PEOPLE ARE AFRAID!!
Hartford's P/R Motto is"Hartford, A Rising Star", When In Reality It Is"Hartford, A Sinking Ship"
This Summers Solution Is To Bring In Our St Police & It Generally worked Well Before Cuz The Punks & Thugs Know Our CSP Won't Take No Shit From Them,1 Warning Or You will Be Cuffed & Stuffed No Question.
The Idiots That Don't Want Your ISP In Chicago Are Just Plain Short Sighted Fools That Won't admit The Obvious That Chicago, Like Hartford Is Out Of Control With The Crime Rate.
I Hope You Guys Do Get Some Help There, It's A Officer & Public Safety Issue.
Off Topic.
Sitting In The Tavern Yesterday Having a Few Cold Ones , Cnn Was On & They Had A Film Piece On Chicago & It's Crime Issues. They Kept Saying "Out Of Control"
By Reading This Blog Daily Also, I Have To Agree With The Media For Ounce & Agree With That Thought
Stay Safe Out there Brothers & sisters & Back Each Other Up Always
"oh my god, quit fucking whining and crying about watches being short. you are a fucking mental midget if you think its ever going to change. "do more with less" has been the credo in private industry for years, if not decades."
Mayor daley... what are you doing on this site???
I would welcome the Troopers.
Give them a new expericence. The majority of these guys IMO are itching for a fight.
As an ISP "metro recruit" 480-01, I would love to have you fellas experience the shit we deal with.
Yes I was not a cadet but I know what u were taught in the academy.
1-ur apperance never, and I mean never has commanded respect.(in the ghetto)
Being squared away has never made my job easier
My hospital squares and Irish pennants have never endangered my officer saftey.
I had to shoot the FATS(?) simulater in the ISP academcy.
I had a Brazer open up the cab of a pick-up with a shotgun and point it at me. I fired as many times as I could until the scenario ended.
Trooper,what was his name, built like a brick shithouse, crew cut, former mc copper, told me. "Recruit-----Why did you fire at him 23 times?"
My response was,"I fired until the threat was eliminated sir!" He was angry I fired so many times.(I hated him how can I not remember his name!)
Serendipity, 1 year later I am in the CPD academy and I have the same scenario. Apparently I became quicker as I fired 25 times.
Our range instructor Boone yells, "How many God damn shots did you fire recruit?" My response was, I kept firing until the threat was eliminated sir."
There was a dramatic pause and then instructer Boone stated,"Your God damn right Muhta Fucker, kill that June bug son of a bitch."
I knew I had made the right choice. (98-12a, Maslankas Maggots. I still love u nerds. Going on 10 and still knocking it down.
You should be able to spot ISP tactical teams.
They will be the ones wearing the wide brimmed hats.
I'm all for seeing those sexy ISP guys running around my district. yum.
You work in 023 don't you...
Hilliard, Cline, nor even Starks would welcome ISP help. Have some pride Jody.
. "do more with less" has been the credo in private industry for years, if not decades."
unlike the private industry we can be killed because we are doing more with less. so shut the fuck up you suit! and watch out for the paper cuts....
I welcome the National Guard to help out from the air. Look at these clips, imagine if this could be the streets of the 'souf' side.

You guys have to understand there was never a serious offer to do anything on the table. Its just an attempt to look like he is doing something.
Personally, I prefer the idea of calling up the NG. Put an armed squad of soldeirs on every stret corner at night in areas that might benefit. A lot of these guys have some serious urban warfare experience, and they have the right weapons and gear.
Put it to good use.
these gansters and thugs and dopedealers in Chicago are our own breed of terrorists. right smack dab in our country, in our very city. Daley needs to snap out of it and hire thousands of more police and take the streets back. our broken Cook County court system needs to get its head out of its ass and start convicting these monsters and then start sentencing them properly.
my spycam verified Daley is out of town. he is in his Michigan home right now wiping his ass with toilet paper that reads "Chicago Police Contract". why that son of bitch !#$%
earlier footage showed him lying on his bed naked masturbating to the song Fat Bottom Girl by Queen all while rolling around in a giant pile of money that he stole from the city. man oh man, I never realized that Daley is as hairy as a Gorilla.
oh my god, quit fucking whining and crying about watches being short. you are a fucking mental midget if you think its ever going to change. "do more with less" has been the credo in private industry for years, if not decades."
Heres a better motto do less with less and let the animals kill each other.

While I'm sure your post meant well, you apparently only know what you read in the papers or see on TV. Chicago PD doesn't need any outside help. They are simply giving the police service that the ghetto communities and the fake reverends demand. They don't want the police in their communities. This is what they get. And the Illinois State Police is not in any position to offer extra troopers for anything. Governor Blago has allowed ISP manpower to dwindle away to the point where they have trouble handling their own patrols. No, the problem in Illinois and Chicago is not the police. It is a direct result of the politicians and their greedy, thieving, short sighted ways that have allowed their police departments to run with crappy, used up equipment and poor staffing.
And to the idiot who says to "do more with less" because it works in private business, well, you sir are an idiot. Perhaps you could make more widgets faster in private business, but tell me how you could handle multiple emergency police jobs without the police officers available to answer them? Some jobs require that bad guys get arrested, and that takes officers off the street for an hour or two, sometimes longer. There is no substitute for manpower in public safety jobs.
Instead of hiring the ISP to assist us, it would be more economical to hire back CPD for time and a half. The city would not have to pay benefits for extar police and we could get a little OT out of it.

*********************************
Where did it say "hire" ISP? Weis did the right thing, he put it right back in the Governors's court. There is no way the State Police can afford to send a contingent up here to help out. The Governor just made Daley look good and shot himself in the foot in the process.
Stay thirsty my friends...
Welcome to the jungle J-FED,you getting a feel on how daley runs this town yet?Are your shoulders hurting from the puppet strings?
Having po's working there rdo's would go a long way,OT and more bodies on the street,but I know I know,'we don't have the money",in that case to the gangmembers who can read,we say "keep shooting each other and killing kids,cuz we looking for some OT"
Holy Batman.. jody smart enough to call dumb Blago's bluff?????
Blago's gambit was just acting to stick it in daley's ass..what happens when Blago has to produce????
oh my god, quit fucking whining and crying about watches being short. you are a fucking mental midget if you think its ever going to change. "do more with less" has been the credo in private industry for years, if not decades."
Mayor daley... what are you doing on this site???

Daley must touring Europe with jesse jackson....
CPD has been short-handed for a long, long time. And we managed the shitstorms - what's the difference now?
We aren't allowed to be the police - sweet n simple.
Take the cuffs off us & see how quickly we set Mookie,Pookie & Boo straight.
Someone send J-Fed thru the Academy so he at least has SOME clue as to what we do.
Dump the 'know nuttin' command staff - bring back the likes of Tom Walton.
THEN CPD will be the true crime fightin machine of the past. Where shitheads actually watched their P's & Q's with us for fear of the ramifications from us.
Unless Daley grows tired of Weis he ain't goin nowhere - put in a strong, experienced 1st Deputy who will force J-Fed to be nothing more than a figurehead.
We need true leadership, someone who will tell the media & the revs to back the fuck up. We need Daley to keep his mitts off our department. We need manpower, vehicles, radios, training.
No disrespect to ISP - but we can clean up our own city - we just need to be allowed to do it.
Where does J-Fed get this "folks" terminology from all the time? Years ago the Disciples were aka "Folks". Maybe they still are. We're Police Officers,not "folks", not FBI. Got it!
Rumor in ISP D-Chicago has D-Chicago command putting the final touches on a plan that would include lots of OT and would be utilizing ISP officers from Districts Chicago, 2, and 15.
If they are short handed why not hire back Chicago PO's in the very districts or areas where they already work? Why hire ISP who don't know the area? It makes no sense, oh wait, that's exactly why they will do it, because it makes no sense. Sorry, I forgot for a minute where I worked.

I can't wait to live in a city with you as the dog ass police!
I think Frank Coconate would be a great cop, do you?
Bring 'em on! They can do these stupid seatbelt missions!
It bothers me, alot, that the tac and gang teams, along with tru, bring in alot of bullshit arrests(at least the kind of shit i never wasted my time on, like sub's, dopw's, 1 baggers, etc.), why not quit giving them I bonds? At least make the bullshit arrest inconvenient, make them come up with the 75 bucks, or send them to court and let the judge give them the free pass. Read the stipulations on the i bond, by signing they agree to appear in court and not to get arrested again, before the court date, simply look at the rap sheet and this should make a whole lot of these same useless thugs ineligable (sp?) for the bond. PS, midget and erkel, more revenue for u to waste.
Another young person shot to death last night in 10.
The children are being slaughtered in this City because the Little Guy on the 5th floor cannot be moved. Even the Feds can't or won't put him away.
If there is someone out there who can who can reason with the Little Guy tell him this is what he needs to do immediately:
TAKE THE GLOVES OFF (IE) N.Y. GUILIANNI RULE
J-Fed to a terrorism/olympic unit; (OUT OF CPD)
Bring back Guthrie, Mauer or someone with street balls to run this Dept. and take the streets back;
Eliminate the TRR.;
Allow cpd to sign disorderly complaints against the bangers;
Re Hire immediately retired PO'S who want to work the street and mix it up with the bangers;
Hire more PO's.

JFED is getting so much media exposure, more than any other politician, so Now would be the perfect time for him to make a public infomercial explaining to the gangbangers, thugs, etc. THAT GUNS ARE AGAINST THE LAW.
This should start his platform for running for Mayor, notice how much more at ease he is in front of the camera. In the beginning, he started with all his exempts standing right behind him, notice his last public appearance shows no CPD BRASS and he is even in a suit...quite impressive.
JFED FOR MAYOR, isn't this how laski/miriam santos started their demise. CPD should start wearing t-shirts "JFED FOR MAYOR"
The Chicago Police Department does not need help. The only one's that are crying for help are the one's who'll sue the dept for any little bit of money they can get. If the idiots want to kill each other, no amount of help from any law enforcement source would stop it. These animals will kill each other. These communities where most of the "disturbances" occur have their own laws that they live by. The law of the common man does not apply to them. They are taught to hate the police and never trust the police. Blogojevich has another agenda on his mind. The ACLU also has a big hand in why society is in the terrible shape it is today. ACLU screwed everything up. ACLU is the cancer gene that festered into what society is today. They think that gangs have rights like the law abiding citizens have. The ACLU is dead wrong. The ACLU took away the Disorderly Conduct arrest, the EDGE missions, the "sweeps", limited mob action arrests and now you have to give gang dispersals notices first. Back in the day it was easier to pick off a bunch of thugs (yes, known gang-bangers) standing on the corner yelling and flashing gang signs. Now you have to warn them. It doesn't work. It worked when all you had to do is put the handcuffs on them and take them to jail the one or two times, then the next time they wouldn't be "hanging out". It's like training dogs, you have to show them who is the Alpha (top dog). You can talk til you're blue in the face, but actions are more effective.
Bring them on..somebody needs to write the movers and parkers.

Me too! I think I am getting the vapors.
Now, kees me you fool!!!

Where would that button be worn when on duty?
No matter what, Blago put a torpedo into Mumbles Olympic ship. Blago could care less what JFed or King Rich's response to his ISP offer is, he succeeded in calling international attention to the increased crime rate. Blago knows he is going down and has chosen to sink Daley's Olympic legacy before he goes... Well Done Blago... take that mental midget down with you.
"come on down?"
is this the price is right?
C'mon down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
let our brothers in brown hats share the rev blasting, gang shootings, honor-student funerals and abundance of law suits filed by the above for poleeeece brutality, civil rights, etc. etc.
They would be f*cking crazy if they want to get involved. They have it bad enough on the Dan Ryan.
the aldermasn need to spank themselves and you all need to get on about the business of locking up these sick vicious killers, citizens and cops alike.

They're sick and vicious, and they're killing my retirement plans.
