Soto Funeral
RIP:
- As Rev. Donald Nevins brought the funeral mass of Chicago Police Detective Robert Soto to a close Tuesday, the quiet was interrupted by a police car's blaring siren, a fitting punctuation to a service honoring the 23-year veteran slain last week.
Police officers in formal dress, including Supt. Jody Weis, and Soto's friends and relatives filled the pews of St. Francis of Assisi Church on the Near West Side Tuesday to pay tribute to Soto's service and easygoing spirit.
And of course, the wrong person was arrested:
Outside the courtroom, Austin's aunt, Sharon White, said police arrested the wrong man.
"My thing is, let's find out the truth," White told reporters after the bond hearing. "Don't just assume or just pick somebody 'cause you want it over with. . . . My nephew didn't do it."
Is there a script that floats around the west and south sides that says whenever someone is arrested for murder, the offender's family starts right in with their bullshit? It's authored by a bunch of phony "reverends" and directed by bottom-feeding lawyers. We have to get a copy of this crap.

RIP, office......
What was up with Ed Burke and his cabana hat?
PS - His suit was sharp. Sharper than Jodi's!
"We have to get a copy of this crap."
It's in the ghetto version of Aesop's Fables.
I believe it's titled "Da Poleeces Laaz a Case On Pookie", or something like that.
There might be a translation available, from the original Ebonics to English, at your local Chicago Public Library.
To the reader equipped with critical reasoning skills, it is obvious that the various individuals quoted in these articles undoubtedly contradict one another.
Didn't Rev. Alwayz B. Scammon tell each of them to stick with the same story?
Sadly, the only thing that I can say is don't let them go to Iowa if they request a change of venue.
i wish the media would ask the people they interview one question before any other. "were you there ?" you get pookie and all the chilrens - bitching and moaning about what happened like they saw it happen - but they never ask if they were actual witnesses. nice reporting. that's ok - you're just adding fuel to the fire - big comapnies go down first when cities burn. newspapers burn quite fast.
the media did not quote her correctly.
"my thang iz less fineout da truff, yu no".
Bob was given the send off that he was meant to have. Special Thanks to Ald Burk who attended the funeral,and Cicero,Berwyn,Forest Park,Oak Park,Broadview, Westchester and Hillside PD's for running the roadblocks in their town. Thanks to All of our officers for their show of respect and stood at attention and saluted as the motorcade passed.But most of all to the Officers who attended the wake and funeral stay safe. Farwell my Friend I will miss you.
R.I.P. Bobby! You will be missed! Did you see on the news when mayor asshole was asked why he did not attend! He mumbled again anothert slap to a once great dept. From the mayor to the exempts how much more shit will the city hand us? Maybe more junker vehicles? More outdated shit computes? maybe more dead batteries for radios (If the radios even work? more revs in control of weak bosses? Maybe no contract and talk of taking more away? Wait that is already happening! If your new on the job leave and look for a progressive dept, and leave the regressive one in the dust!
Liked Ald. Burke there wearing his badge. What a goof. If he cared so much about us why isnt he an advocate for our rights. Instead he comes to funerals for the media. Im sorry I know this isnt appropriate here but had to say it.
Supt. Jody Weis,
I have noticed that you have not worn the uniform recently.
Thank you. (By the way you do look better in a suit.)
I have said it before and will say it again. That small gesture makes me believe that their is hope for dialogue that we can all move forward. Now how about a pax 501 or something along that lines on why it is that you have appearantly set yourself at odds with the FOP officers.
I believe that if they were told prior to the action of being stripped, shame on them. Because this could have been avoided in less then an hour of their time at the range. An hour of time that will now cost alot more in legal defense of their position concerning the matter. Money I have paid for the defense of issues that affect all the members of the FOP not just the elitist few that I admit some for which I voted. They could have brought the issue up in this contract that they and the city have not budged. Seems the FOP elected has made this a personal thing that could have been avoided in an hour but now it will cost us thousands. I thought they were supposed to have our collective intrest first. Now it looks like theirs are coming first.
However if one of our police officers is called to military service for two years and fails to qualify are they going to sent 2 Lt's to Iraq to strip them.
Seems like both sides are being petty at this point.
"Liked Ald. Burke there wearing his badge."
What badge???
The media could have at least quoted her correctly.
What she said was,
"My thang is, less find out the troof," White told reporters after the bond hearing. "Don't jus assume or jus pick somebody 'cuz you want it over wiff. . . . My nephew didn't do wit."
I saw the TV interview. That's what she said while wearing a bright yellow wig over her nasty graying cornrows.
I wish the media would quote exactly what people say. It shows them for what they are and takes away any shred of undue credibility they get otherwise.
RIP BOBBY ALSO THANKS TO THE SUBURBAN DEPTS TOO.

C'mon, be fair! The mayor was tired from attending Bernie Macs funeral at the house of hope.
(Note Sarcasm)
P.S. the Mayor is a piece of $hit!
(No sarcasm for the above line, just facts)

Let me understand burke is finance chairman makes all the money decisions, but yet when an officer is iod and needs a mri or other procedure his office drags its feet, then sends you a denial of iod and the FOP has to fight for us! But then Mark lets eddie use our hall to promote eddie's book! maybe eddie could be a real man and speak out for the poliec on a contract but then again another guy scared to challenge the mayor! Guess the car and many bodyguards make eddie quiet guess it was an "easy bribe"! The old eddie burke's Father Joe RIP always spoke out for the police, yes I am a KMA done member but memories linger!

Yes there is.It is called the Pookie Manifesto.It was put together by three flim-flam men,Jesse Jackson,Al Sharpton and Spike Lee.
Didn't Rev. Alwayz B. Scammon tell each of them to stick with the same story?
------------------
No that was the Rev. Robbin D. Hood.
What a true piece of shit our mayor is.
Doesn't even come to a police officers funeral. What a show of disrespect for the officer, his family and the entire department.
His father is rolling over in his grave.
Alderman Burke wearing his badge? How many years was he on the job, 2or 3?
RIP Det. Soto.
Where is FOP press release about that this officer's death should be in line of duty? Im outraged. We put our lives on the line and what do we get Not Even a THANKYOU.RIP dear friend
When you refer to "THEM" as bottom feeders you are elevating "THEM" to a higher plateau in the legal profession and they are real proud of that compliment.
Was eddie burke trying to be "PIMP SHIT OF THE 14TH".
You talk about a bottom feeder asshole, he's the king(carp).
I will vote for Fran Spielman for anything. She is the only real reporter with balls. She gives the mayor fits. Keeps asking questions and than follows up and asks again. He gets totally aggravated. Channel 11 did a piece on his press conference at the fire graduation and focused on her quizzing him. he started out happy and you could see his BP go up. He actually yelled when he said the officer was not killed in the line of duty.

Hey, look! It's Frank Main! Hi Frank! You idiot
"What was up with Ed Burke and his cabana hat?"
Keen observation there Dick Tracy,
Perhaps the hat is because,He's a fair skinned Irishmen who's easily disposed to SkinCancer.
Next Question Moron..
I believe the aunt said " ... let's find out da trufe."
"What a true piece of shit our mayor is.

Not to give his sorry ass any credit, but the most respectful thing daley could have done was not show up and pretend he gives a fuck.
I can not believe the mayor was not in attendance for DET. SOTO services, what a shame. fuck the mayor and anybody like him. its just a shame.
RIP SOTO
Lay off Ed Burke. He came to the funeral to show his respects. You a-holes find the most trivial shit to whine about. Grow a pair, would you?
He sure did say he did not attend the funeral because the Officer "was not killed in the line of duty" Unreal!!!!
RIP Officer

Sorry your on his deatil, were you working or on the 3 2 on 3 off schedule with D-3 pay and overtime? On the eddie burke watch he was a copper I think from 68-69 then his Ftaher Joe a great man died and eddie was installed as alderman why he carries a badge is beyond me, but maybe it was one of the bullshit alderman 5 point stars all the idiots get!
God bless
Not to stick for the Mayaor as he is no friend of mine, but the family is asked if they want the Mayor to attend the funeral, if they say no, he doesn't show up. It's entirely up to the officer's family.

That only applies to line of duty deaths. THEN, the family is asked.
This was technically a private funeral, though Cmdr. Hargesheimer worked hard to make it as formal as possible for Bobby and his family.
Dear Mayor,
He was not killed in the line of duty but do we know if he announced his office?? No we don't. Do we know if he took police action? Anyone who knows him knows that he would have. He was robbed, then shot, and still called 911 and gave a description. He provided the clues that solved his own crime. Detective til the end. Don't you think an honors funeral would have been nice? You could always have honored him and fought about the money later.
Last comment and question Mr. Mayor. Did Bernie Mac serve this city for 22 years and then lose his life VIOLENTLY on YOUR streets? Right. I didn't think so. One hour from your busy schedule is all it would have cost you.
A personal thank you to all the white shirts that took the time to show up. You didn't have to be there but you were.
To Idiot calling us "colour glasses wearing fool"
Why? It serves no purpose and has no bearing on the investigation. Your bullshit won't see the light of day here.
Fuck off asshole.
Run the suspect's name. Rap sheet as long as Ron Jeremy's you know what. I suppose all thos arrests were premature also. Those damn Chicago Poleeeses...
Yes dear, I'll be right there dear. Ron Jeremy? He's just some copper I used to know in 023...
His aunt is probably as big a crook as her nephew. I am a citizen and I am sick of these crooks and their families claiming they did not do it too. She should have spent that much time teaching his ass to do something constructive.
