Our New Hero
A boss who tells it like it is:
- Capt. Harte from 011 told J-fed that arrests are down not because of lawsuits, but because the troops have no faith in him and are afraid of him because of the Cozzi incident. He has no credibility with the guys. That's when J-fed launched into his latest Cozzi defense. The back and forth was polite and respectful on both sides, but the message the captain delivered was exactly on point. At least we know that he knows, and he will have to live with it for his entire career here. Not that it will make any difference.
The Captain is old enough to not give a fuck and probably can't be moved. This is what we really need - a bunch of older cops of all ranks who are KMA, bid spots and truly don't have a thing to lose to start bringing up the pointlessness of the current Department leadership.
Based on this story, we'd imagine the Captain is overqualified for his spot and would probably do a better job with a star or oak leaf on his collar than a bunch of people who are wearing them now. Watch for J-Fed or Aunt Bea to do something stupid shortly.

don't forget that captain that was moved in 025 for blocking out the media. that cpt had a set of nuts too.
Capt Harte, If I ever run into you in a bar, the 1st few rounds are on me!
you go Terry
This Capt. sounds like a stand-up guy. He'll probably get dumped to some other-side-of-the-world district on midnights 'cuz he told the truth.

Nevr met this Captain, but he has balls. Along time ago, there were more captains on this job who would tell an incompetent commander, deputy chief, or ADS the truth; and the captains didn't care about the ramifications because there was more to it than who was wrong or who was right; it was a matter of character, that somebody had the balls to step forward and tell it the way it is. But this is a "Booz-Allen Police Department" or a CAPS police department; whatever this department is, it doesn't promote character. It promotes suckassing.
It'll be interesting to see if they screw with Captain Harte. If they do,we have more proof there's Too Many Dummies!
J-Fed and Mayoral-Aide/Deputy Superintendent O'Keefe will never have any creditability until they prosecute, a dog-ass or otherwise, citizen who complains about the police, signs the affidavit and lies.
Why not do that Jody, didn't Martha Stewart go to jail for lying to the feds.
I've never met this Captain Harte from the 11th District. The impression I get from reading this blog and how he handled J-Fed, is that he demands character not only from himself but those around him. A long time ago, this department had a lot more watch commanders with the character of Captain Harte. We don't have that luxery anymore. This department punishes those that standup and tell the truth; it rewards those that are suckholes.
At the meeting, Captain Harte encountered J-Fed, a man who took a million bucks to pass himself off as Richie Daley's reformer. Initially, I was one who believed J-Fed was for real and Daley had to take J-Fed or get federal oversight. Time usually tells the truth and time shows that J-Fed only accomplished one thing since taking rein of the Chicago PD; he eviserated any boss who was connected to Phil Cline. Oh yeah, he accomplished one other thing, and it's a critical one: He lost the trust of his subordinates. In doing so, he lost the department. This department is not getting reformed. It's getting deformed.
dont post dont post dont post dont post dont post.... i work on harts watch and there was an orc when everybody knew j-fed was gonna be there. the sgt (who takes care of evevrybody) was begging over the air to get cars to roll call....capt. didn't say shit. i think maybe 2 cars showed by default, i think A/Z would've at least pulled the twenty sector. anyway, he's retiring soon and everybody knows it...he will be missed.
Love it, I remember aunt B in 008.............If she made it to her spot just imagine a junior senator almost president or a little bullshit town mayor as vice president.....................................bar has been lowered all around I guess
So J-fed wants to get rid of TRU.
Good send me to a district so I can do absolutely nothing but answer my calls. No problem boss. been there before, but now I'll make sure I come up promptly with my code for ya.
You know who else is KMA but does nothing for the blueshirts working for him? Wick. Fuck you Rottner. Fuck you Wick. Control Shloss you spineless jellyfish. And that's the least of what you could do for the blueshirts that have gotten you all the numbers that stupid fuckin' DOC ever asked for.
J-Fraud had a hissy fit and pouted the rest of the day.Captain Harte is the only White-Shirt to tell the goofball the truth about how his policies and practices have fucked up this department.Of course J-Fraud will find a way to retailate against Captain Harte.
I would like to buy this gentleman a beer or two. It's good to know that there are still some good supervisors who remember that they have a pair of balls (or, to quote Northside, brass labia.)
It's easy to bash bosses, since they give so much room to do it, but how about a post on who the good guys and girls in the supervisor ranks are? They should hear it from us and know they are appreciated.
Capt. Harte is a good boss, but Z/S!!!
good for capt harte-- god bless you for telling that shavetail j-fed off. i once worked for a captain who threw an inspector out of our station in front of at least twenty other po's-- it was shift change. back then you knew who the boss was-- and what the boss wanted he got or their were consequences.
Is this the Captain writing the comments about how great he is.
The guy is pissed off because he did not get an exempt spot, dont forget he is a white shirt, the old fart dont give a shit about the troops, he cannot speak for everybody, and why do we need captains, when we have Lt's. They make too much money and are glorified watch commanders. Retired you old man and give the young a chance.
IS THAT IT??????? WE ONLY HAVE ONE BOSS LEFT ON THIS DEPARTMENT WITH REAL BALLS?????...THATS IT????
In the old days, I worked Fillmo'.
If somebody assigned elsewhere crossed management, they would "get dumped" to Fillmo'.
The political cocksuckers won't be able to use that line on Terry Harte.
If I had it do over again, I'd choose 011. I just loved the adrenaline rush of the non-stop action and the camaraderie. It was a time when we didn't think of our brothers as white or Negro. We were all BLUE to the bone. And I KNEW to the pit of my soul that my brothers and I were the REAL muthafuckin' PO-leese! On a 10-1 with "no cars available", you'd get a score of units responding in a couple minutes.
You'd learn more about survival skills in six months in that shithole than a decade in some slow district.
We worked hard and God knows, we played hard. I loved that place.
Kudos to Terry Harte!
Terry Harte has been that way since we were Patrolmen together. He spoke his mind to whomever, even as a blue shirt. He knows when he is right and backs it up.
With that BS with the media at the Abbate bond hearing, he was correct. They (the media) were way out of line-he called them on it and Cline pussied his way out.
It will be interesting to see if J-Fed fucks with him and if he does---let the media know.
At least we know that Frank Main reads this blog.
Capt. Harte from 011 told J-fed that arrests are down not because of lawsuits, but because the troops have no faith in him and are afraid of him because of the Cozzi incident. He has no credibility with the guys. That's when J-fed launched into his latest Cozzi defense.
------------------------------------
The "Cozzi incident" involves a police officer who is a sociopath or has sociopathic tendencies. I wouldn't want any member of my family to have the misfortune of crossing his path. The Supt. made a morally correct decision. If one of your family members crossed the path of C. you too might have wanted the Supt. to make the decision he made.
When you respond to this post try to do so with some awareness of morals.
I remember Capt. Terry Harte when he was in 014 way back. Didn't really know him well, but he seemed like a decent boss then too!
If J-fed fucks with Harte over this, they may as well close the doors to the 011th District, I can promise you that.
Once upon a time we had captains who weren't afraid to lead. Then came the big sellout, for $17,000 each the remaining cvil service captains signed away all rights to the civil service rank of captain and the present "exempt" rank of captain was born. This in the hope of more control over captain because before a captain could tell a boss exactly what he thought and he would still be captain in the morning.
They can't have that in this police department so now they have mostly "yes sir, you're right sir, anything you say sir" captains and precious few who will speak the truth to a boss.
That was purely a Richard M. Daley move to grab more political control over the police department and it worked.
Look for Capt Harte to become Lt Harte again. How dare he speak the truth to a boss! That doesn't work here.
Captains have limited management protection. He can't be demoted except for just cause, but he be can moved to any district on the city on any watch at any time for any reason. Ask Captain White.
That being said, welcome to the 005th District first watch Captain Harte, because that's where you'll be going-they have two lieutenants running the watch and its on the other side of the world. You'll be there or 007. Enjoy. That is what being a stand up boss on this job will get you.
...AND the car cameras!
Stupid idea!
I work for Capt. Harte as well. I must say I personally think he's a great boss to work for. He does what a Capt. should do. Support your troops and let your Sgt.'s handle situations accordingly. He truly seems to be a boss that understands what a blue shirt in a ghetto district goes through on a daily basis. It's a lot easier to deal with the streets when you also don't have to worry about dealing with the station.
AWESOME
Terry Harte is a good guy. Had dealings with him before I retired. If you had a situation that needed his assistance, all you had to do was explain it and he was on board.
Now all the younger officers should know why the last few supes promoted very young Lieutenants and Captains, they did not want to hear the truth. Years ago, many of the exempts got there in there mid and later 50s. Not now, truth hurts too much
This sounds reminiscent of the "old salty wardog" Captains of yesteryear. The ones that were untouchable because they wore the earned civil service rank of Captain not the political hack rank of the two bars.
One can only hope that the spineless bootlicker bosses pay heed to a well respected boss and imitate their demeanor.
This department is in serious need of leaders.
Finally a boss who is a "leader", as opposed to all the sheep we have! Thanks Capt. you should be the one leading CPD and watch what we can do to stem crime, and make this city $$$$!!
I gave Terry the moniker The Voice of the Reasonable Man a long time ago.
He has a lot of wisdom that draws from his experience, character and personality. I continually seek out his advice and learn from him.
He is a perfect example of quality leadership... a mentor among mentors.
Thanks Terry.
Would getting dumped from 011 be a bad thing?!
"don't forget that captain that was moved in 025 ..."
Very good point. You can tell that this guy is an awesome leader when you deal with him. Knows his shit and backs working coppers. 017 is lucky to have him. A Dying breed.
Harte was a friend of Helen Dewitte another great boss from 011 she would throw out inspectors and once took 5 days to protect a p.o. We in turn would walk through hell for her. Those days are over.
Hay all you other super real police for the worker white shirts. Time to man up like you always tell us. Be leaders tell this fed the truth. Yeah right. You fucking white shirts call us dogs and cry baby's lets see you man up , lead. FUCK ALL OF YOU.
05:43am we just did stupid. what other boss deserves praise. please tell me.

-----------------
Thats more than you 2 year wonders do now anyway!
I appreciate the Captain telling J-FED just like it is on OUR job, but before lauding Harte as an exalted hero of heroes, think about it, he is essentially bullet-proof, so he can easily afford to do it, unlike most of us.
Harte is 60 years old, soon to be 61 years old, and he has 38 years on the job. If he decides to pull the pin because of something that results from his action, he has a wonderful pension waiting for him, plus, he has already attained the 60+ years of age benefit.
Another thing, you do not normally make Captain or Lieutenant or Sergeant on this job without a hook-up. Odds are Harte has benefited from a corrupt promotional system at least one or more times. At each of those junctures, he wasn't calling the newspapers and the televison stations and the radio stations because he was refusing to be a part of a corrupt system. He merely took the promotion and returned to blend into the system.
As I said, I appreciate Captain Harte telling the J-FED the exact time on the countdown clock of OUR job, but I will not laud him as a hero, a simple thank you will suffice. Captain Harte took a positive step forward, but his action was not heroic. A hero takes action when he is risking EVERYTHING. Harte was risking nothing, but thanks Captain Harte, I appreciate your effort and I am grateful. Keep up the good work.
Buslik is a great Captain and we are glad to have him in 014. Too bad as stated above, he's way too qualified to be a CPT but will probably stay there because of the parking lot incident in 025. No Contract=No Contact!
It's easy to bash bosses, since they give so much room to do it, but how about a post on who the good guys and girls in the supervisor ranks are? They should hear it from us and know they are appreciated.
It is a good idea on the face but J-fed and his cronies read this blog and would find ways to retaliate against them for trying to do the right thing. Pretty sad dept. we work in when we can't recognize the ones who deserve to be recognized.
This Captain should be put in for a Department Commendation and Officer of the Month, oh yeah Fuck You J-fed I hope Cozzi haunts you in your dreams!!
is this the same captain that has just informed his tact/gang teams he doesnt care about morale, he expects 4 heads a day... plain and simple... 4 heads a day or you will be dumped THATS a stand up guy!!!
douche

Sounds like it's time for a thorough survey on the subject.
Maybe in the form of an evaluation by the troops.
It could be called 'The Good, The Bad, & the Ugly'.

no one can control schloss. shes too litigous. bosses are afriad of her because she'll beef and sue you at the drop of a hat. luckily, she's a complete moron and is easily manipulated. just tell her that her fingernails look nice, that should do it. I've literally seen her carry people for the day, for compliments like that.
That's the last thing i ever expected outta Harte. He really isn't some legend that everyone says on this post. But he isn't some evil company guy. He's just killin time. That's it. Nothing more nothing less. OH YEAH, I'M A FILLMORE RANGER ALUMN FOR ALL YOU HATERS!!
You go Terry!
An old friend in 015...
Congrats Capt Harte!!!!!!! U r a man, not a coward!!!! Harte hit the nail right on the head!!!
I hope your listening J-Fraud. This Captain told you the truth. There was no dog and pony with his comments. Do the CPD a favor and resign. U r an embarassment to the uniform.
011 has great bosses. i have yet to have a "talking to" about not bringing in activity and failing to turn in a humper. and since all this BS i havent done either unless told to or on signed complaints. have yet to get time due denied either. i dont work there for the shit heads i work there for the bosses. and yes they need a thank you. thank you 011 2nd watch bosses! cap, lt, sgts...you all take care of your troops and understand what we are going through. hate to work for this city but love to work for you guys! thank you again!
I've had two encounters with Harte on the phone (different Area). Both times, he had his head on straight and made WAY too much sense while we worked together to fix messes made by other people.
The second time, I told him 'if ever there's anything I can do for you...' and I meant it. What a gentleman, and very knowledgeable, too.
Of COURSE he's retiring soon. We couldn't be so lucky that he'd stick around in this climate.
Capt Harte is great guy and probably should have been a Commancer, instead they promoted the Polish guy from midnights in 11
Kup Kakes was good, but better for white shirts. He don't want no trouble! He would never speak like Harte. Harte had to deal with all the shit on 3rd watch, including AZ and a few others; but he's a decent man. Kups was good, but has his own agenda and wait and see, his following. No one wants to rock the boat! Thanks Terry!!!!
Before you canonize St. Harte keep in mind he was moved to 011 from 015 in the Midst of the Austin 7 Investigation back in 97.
He's decent, but didnt get appointed Captain because of his repore w/the troops but as favor from Phil. Still a Company Man.
There are others who have told the Supt the truth about Cozzi and other issues behind closed doors. The whole theory about "balls" is out the window. J-Fed does not give a flying fuck about balls, Terry Harte or anybody who criticizes him. Several of the Chiefs and Deputy Supts he appointed have been frozen out of any decision making process for constantly questioning decisions made by the Supt. He could care less about the good of the department.Jody i hope you and Masters are listening. And for those few Deputy Chiefs, Deputy Supts, Chiefs who still think Jody is your friend HE'S NOT. He thinks we're all stupid and he's smarter than everybody including the Mayor.
Not to long ago the captains ran the districts.Pre CAPS.
is this the same captain that has just informed his tact/gang teams he doesnt care about morale, he expects 4 heads a day... plain and simple... 4 heads a day or you will be dumped THATS a stand up guy!!!
douche
Yes the same guy. He was a Phil Cline JUICER
TO: Is this the Captain writing the comments about how great he is.
The guy is pissed off because he did not get an exempt spot, dont forget he is a white shirt, the old fart dont give a shit about the troops, he cannot speak for everybody, and why do we need captains, when we have Lt's.

9/01/2008 06:48:00 AM
You obiously don't know the man, doesn't toot his own horn...Even though he is in a favorable position to say something, I still give him credit because there are a lot more that never said a word and were in the same position...
Capt. Hart is my hero.
Before you canonize St. Harte keep in mind he was moved to 011 from 015 in the Midst of the Austin 7 Investigation .
All the bosses got dumped out of 15because of asswipe pacman.
Terry Harte? When he was a SGT. in 015 in the mid 80s he was a scared little pussy.I am having a hard time believing this story.Butchie Becker, rest his soul ,was there too, we all know.
The "Cozzi incident" involves a police officer who is a sociopath or has sociopathic tendencies. I wouldn't want any member of my family to have the misfortune of crossing his path.

I guess everyone is entitled to his/her opinion. Even those that shouldn't be the police.
"...whatever this department is, it doesn't promote character. It promotes suckassing."
Exactly. For years, there were many bosses- captains, lts., sergeants-- that I admired on this job, and I would have done anything they asked because it was always fair, righteous, and maybe just the right thing to do. Over the years, they have all left, either passed away or retired. Now, I can count on one hand the number of bosses that have my respect. Character is a thing of the past for most bosses. For me, it is the only thing that I try and maintain that is truly mine and the only thing that this department cannot take from me.
9:30 PM
It's commendable that someone actually told a clueless J-Fed the TRUTH.
That being said, if the late, legendary Warren "Butch" Becker said that someone is an asshole--chances are that person is indeed an asshole.
Whenever I got together with Butch and "Terrible" Tommy O'Connor for a few cold ones, my standard greeting was "Where's the horse?"
I was referring to "Secretariat", my only other "hero" and the greatest thoroughbred in racing history.
Secretariat and Butch have passed on. Only TOC would understand.

Never forget where Buttlick is rooted, and his roots are quite deep. Buttlick is an IAD rat through and through, and sponsored by Shom'Rim, which is how he accomplished his meteoric rise to the level of incompetence he currently occupies. While other police persons were out busting their ass on the street in patrol, Buttlick was hiding his ass in IAD, not taking any cases, and using company time to go to Northwestern and do school work for his Master degree. Buttlick is an opportunist and do not think that Little-Shorty won't fuck you up if the opportunity arrives, because he will, and fast. Little-Shorty is an IAD slime-rat from head to toe, all 4'6" of him.

You might not know it, but there are (maybe 'were') TWO Terry Hart(e)s on the job. One was HART and one is HARTE. I think you're talking about the other one. The description sounds right.

yep the guy was a clown I agree 100% but I dont agree with the process cozzi or no cozzi the process was fucked up j fed took sides with the reverends over us fucked a blue shirt for what? the process
no one can control schloss. shes too litigous. bosses are afriad of her because she'll beef and sue you at the drop of a hat.
Ask her how she paid for that Dodge Durango she bought a few years back...she sued, got an almost $30,000 settlement from the city, and bought her truck. She didn't transfer over her "PRTYGRL" license plates though.

8:11 AM
Granted, I wasn't there.
However, if you have some motherfucker continuing to disrupt an entire hospital ER after you cuff him to a chair (a wheelchair in this case), he deserves a crack to shut him up.
Since you can't house him at the lock-up, the only other options you'd have is to to duct tape his big mouth or have a nurse inject him with a tranquilizer.
Your "moral" standard is convoluted under the existing exigent circumstances as I understand them.
Take your holier-than-thou ass elsewhere for a reality check, you pious asswipe. While you're at it, take Weis with you. He knows he fucked up on Cozzi but he won't admit it.
is this the same captain that has just informed his tact/gang teams he doesnt care about morale, he expects 4 heads a day... plain and simple... 4 heads a day or you will be dumped THATS a stand up guy!!!
Captains have tact teams now??? STFU and GFY
Harte was a friend of Helen Dewitte another great boss from 011 she would throw out inspectors and once took 5 days to protect a p.o. We in turn would walk through hell for her. Those days are over.
Helen Dewitt, now there was a great boss, I hope she is enjoying retirement. She had the biggest set of balls I have ever seen. She didnt take crap from anyone,which eventually got her dumped as district commander, and then sent to 008. She would argue with bosses just as quickly as she would fight joe on the street. She loved the working copper and would do anything to help them.
Retired you old man and give the young a chance.
9/01/2008 06:48:00 AM
Obviously and idiot. You'll never get far in life and those around you will always know you're a failure.
I've known Capt. Buslik for about 7 years. During that time we've had disagreements from time to time but I'll tell you this. The welfare of his Officers are a top priority with him. He will do anything, take on anybody if it will benefit his Officers. That was never better illustrated by the newsmedia incident in 025. Like I said, I'm not his best buddy nor is he mine, but the truth should be told. He would NEVER EVER do anything to hurt his Officers but would instead do whatever he could to help him. He does have his quirks, surrounds himself with what most of us would consider freaks but is an all around good boss. I would work for him anyday.
Buslik is a great Captain and we are glad to have him in 014. Too bad as stated above, he's way too qualified to be a CPT but will probably stay there because of the parking lot incident in 025. 9/01/2008 12:55:00 PM
Now Mark, don't you have any shame
God Bless Helen DeWitte. She was a true boss of the workn PO. I worked for her in 11 and she took no crap from dude on the street or other bosses. I would have loved to see her at jfeds so called meeting. Keep spending them checks
BOSS!
First Captain Harte defeats Eddie May with a 12 round knock-out! (aka:booted his ass to 008 District) now he just bitch slapped J-Fed!

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAH
PRICELSSS
SCC,
I worked for Terry Harte many years ago in 015 and was on the Tact/Gang Teams during Austin 7.
Then Sgt. Harte had nothing to do with any of that nonsense. Unfortunately that scandal took down alot of legendary bosses for no reason like: Tony Rice, Doug Prine, Bernie McDermott and few others. Terry Harte back in the day was a steady, and very fair boss.
I am glad to see that he is taking a stand against one of the worst police administrations in decades. Keep up the good work Captain!
Former "Fort Forgotten" Ranger
He sounds like an idiot. It's real easy to tell people the way it is when you are retiring anyway i guess.
There is no way society is going to let the "Cozzi" incident go. It's a real shame the new superintendent has to deal with this debacle in the first place. I support his decisions about it 110 percent. Enough is enough.
If people are using the sorry excuse of being afraid to do their job because they are doing it by shackling people up and bludgeoning them, its almost a good thing. I hope they institute an evaluation system that weeds out this crap so the good people of the world can do their jobs and not cause further embarassment to the department.
All the supporters should get Save Cozzi t-shirts and rally outside federal court like the rest of the psycho extremists so everyone knows who you are for what you are.
Its time to straighten up and fly righ children.
It was like the movie Gladiator. MY NAME IS GLADIATOR. CAPT> GLADIATOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Take that Ceasar.

I agree 100%. This person haphazardly has given very poor advice. The word unethical immediately comes to mind when i hear the utterance of the name.
Well I'm glad everyone else has a good boss. Will someone please get Capt. "whiskeybreath" Glombicki out of 004. He gives us quotas on tickets and if you don't produce, he will fuck with you every chance he gets. He is a Cline boy suckass. No contract - no tickets, he forgot where he came from.
Question to 9/01/2008 08:11:00 AM?
How exactly to you know that Cozzi is a sociopath and has sociopathic tendencies? Have you examined him? Have you treated him? Or are you just making a generalized statement base on your vast knowledge of social norms?
Most likely the latter but without any knowledge.
All the man did was give a piece of shit dirt bag a slap he more than deserved. We have become of culture of, as my kids would say "fraidykats." We balk at doing the right thing. Every gang banger we confront who has an attitude should be slapped hard and long. Every fucking motorist who asks "why you stoppin me - cause I be black?" deserves to be slapped. Every asshole who disagrees with me on this topic should be slapped.
As far as I'm concerned we need more Cozzi's and less J-Feds.

I appreciate the Captain telling J-FED just like it is on OUR job, but before lauding Harte as an exalted hero of heroes, think about it, he is essentially bullet-proof, so he can easily afford to do it, unlike most of us.
Harte is 60 years old, soon to be 61 years old, and he has 38 years on the job. If he decides to pull the pin because of something that results from his action, he has a wonderful pension waiting for him, plus, he has already attained the 60+ years of age benefit.
Another thing, you do not normally make Captain or Lieutenant or Sergeant on this job without a hook-up. Odds are Harte has benefited from a corrupt promotional system at least one or more times. At each of those junctures, he wasn't calling the newspapers and the televison stations and the radio stations because he was refusing to be a part of a corrupt system. He merely took the promotion and returned to blend into the system.
As I said, I appreciate Captain Harte telling the J-FED the exact time on the countdown clock of OUR job, but I will not laud him as a hero, a simple thank you will suffice. Captain Harte took a positive step forward, but his action was not heroic. A hero takes action when he is risking EVERYTHING. Harte was risking nothing, but thanks Captain Harte, I appreciate your effort and I am grateful. Keep up the good work.

DeWitt was pretty cool in 015 as well. Had one of the biggest set of balls around. Butchie too...
Man...bring back the good old days...
There's nothing wrong with Buslik.
Marc is an exceptional Police officer. And yes, he did start out his career as a civilian with OPS. Be that as it may, he's a man of honor and integrity, characteristics in short supply among many on this job, especially those who would berate his character and size here while remaining anonymous. He's gotten back to school and obtained an advanced degree from a pretigious university. And one would hold THAT against him? Maybe it's possible that he wants an academic career after this job, with some real credentials. I don't hold that against anyone. So what, he's a member of the Shomrim society? That's not illegal, last time I checked. Many members of this dept. hold memberships or associations with clubs or groups extolling their ethnicity, whether they be Polish, German, Irish, Afro-American, Mexican, Puerto Rican, etc. Jews have the same right to do this as everyone else, last time I checked. I've known Buslik since he came on the Job, and I've only known him to be a decent, fair man. If you have a problem with Marc, maybe you should man up and speak to him about it personally, and not bash him here because you obviously had a row with him, or you are just another jealous coward who hides behind the keyboard?

Buttlick knows my identity. When we were in IAD together, I told him, to his face, the exact information in my post, however, you and the rest of the world do not need to know my identity. What you need to know is the information in my post is factual. Butlick is a little man with a huge little man complex. And there is nothing wrong with being a member of Shom'Rim, however, without Shom'Rim, Buttlick would still be a blue shirt. And to get that gold star, he would fuck you in a heartbeat.

Wrong. J-FED knows nothing of heroism. And instead of taking a pot shot, why don't you try to refute the information in the original post? Because you cannot. The truth is the truth.
This Harte is no different! He picks and chooses when he wants to speak out. Harte will do nothing for you guys.

So when is your boss, da midget, gonna start 'flying right'?
"Now Mark, don't you have any shame

no.
Be that as it may, he's a man of honor and integrity, . . .

The long term effects of the personality change the job imposes is evident as well as a possible ubringing that included being slapped.

No he didn't! He's back in 004, where he started out as a patrolman over 30 years ago, working that desk and probably still has some jewelry to sell you!
Capt. Harte is a decent guy, but don't make it out to be more than that. He didn't tell J-Fed anything that his "inner circle" hasn't already told him of previously, of that I am sure.
007th district augustyn is the biggest bitch of them all...scared to back his troops and he is a cry baby bitch
I'm on the 011 3rd watch, 5 years on, all in 011, but I'm not really a "Filmore Ranger". That distinction goes to those who busted their asses in 011 before I got to the district, when it was truly a zoo. That being said, I am at the point where I know that working in this shithole makes no sense. The "citizens" for the most part don't appreciate our hard work, the 35th St. crew and OPS/IAD doesn't encourage/defend real proactive police work anymore and even OT is starting to dry up. Why stay? Someone in my position could be a star (tongue in cheek) in 020, 023, 017, etc. The reason is the bosses. From old Comander Jackson to Capts. Harte and Kup, Lts. Pillipuf and Dembowski to Sgt's Little, Stack x2, Lasch, Spagnola and others, even the terible 2 sometimes, JT & AZ. Especially all the comaraderie on the watch, despite morale "being at an all time low". Thank you Capt. Harte for doing what no one else has done, regardless of your situation (safe or not). Thank you brothers and sisters in 011. I will proudly be a Junior Filmo' Ranger until Capt. Harte retires.

"Is this the Captain writing the comments about how great he is.
The guy is pissed off because he did not get an exempt spot, dont forget he is a white shirt, the old fart dont give a shit about the troops, he cannot speak for everybody, and why do we need captains, when we have Lt's. They make too much money and are glorified watch commanders. Retired you old man and give the young a chance.
9/01/2008 06:48:00 AM"
Glorified watchcommanders - are you a goof! They are watch commanders!
Also- I was there- he didn't seem angry he wasn't exempt - he seemed sincere and pro-police-which apparently- you in your brilliant youth think only the young are the police. You've probably got two years on the job and are already a Lt and waiting for Capt. Harte's job! Grow up-not all white shirts are the enemy-not all people with time on the job need to be put out to pasture so your sorry ass can screw up the department even more.
Go match up your garanimals to your underroos baby police!
