Reversing History?

Sunday Sun Times - Why is It So Hard to Fire a Policeman?

Monday Sun Times - Some Chicago Cops Hired Despite Arrests, Rejections

Who knows what Tuesday will bring?

And why isn't Frank Main pointing out the obvious? We spotted it right away:
  • [Sunday's article] A Sun-Times review of recent decisions by the Police Board -- a nine-member civilian review panel appointed by Mayor Daley
  • [Monday's article] ...the department tried to block the hiring of officers with gang associations or minor crimes like petty theft or drug possession in their backgrounds -- only to be overruled by the Human Resources Board. [...] The Human Resources Board, made up of three members appointed by Mayor Daley, acknowledged there is no legal reason for it to hear appeals from police applicants.
Gee, it's kind of obvious where the problem lies isn't it?

Remember what Summerdale did to the Department and the Chicago Machine? Daley the elder was forced to appoint a civilian and cut the Police Department from the fortunes of the Machine. As Mike Royko pointed out, it was a political decision. In order to preserve the Democratic ticket, old man Daley cut loose the entire patronage army of the CPD.

Now, Shortshanks is breaking the Department to his will, abetted by J-Fed, political promotions (the likes of which hasn't been seen in decades) and a host of micromanaging "tools" (GPS, DNA, Performance Recognition Systems, mayoral appointed "oversight") to demoralize the rank and file. And instead of "traffic stop" money filtering it's way upward through the Captain's bagman, it's parking tickets, seatbelt missions, TMAs, meter-maids, Streets and San supervisors and red-light cameras feeding the Machine's never ending thirst for cash.

I was disqualified years ago and appealed it to the personnel board. I went without a lawyer and laid my cards on the table. The personnel board rejected the disqualification and I was hired.

I've been on 22 years now and have only taken one day suspension in that time. (on a SPAR for bullshit, but that's another story) and have my share of awards. I've made my fair share of good pinches from D/C to homicide. Many people are in prison because of me, all deserving I should add.

I'm not a thief or a slacker. I think I've lived up to the trust and the chance given to me. Where is the story of coppers like me? There won't be one. typical scumtimes shit.

2 quotes heard by these ears from a very "old timer" years ago:
"I was T.J. O'Connor's bagman & at one time had 1000 taverns under my wing." "All that asshole O.W. Wilson did was bring the money downtown." For a wake up call on this Dept. & how fucked up it always has been, read Chief O'Neills memoirs. Nothing has changed since the days of Hinky Dink Kenna and Bath-house John Coughlin.

The appeal process was originated due to a high number of minority applicants being rejected for employment due to minor infractions to major crimes. The Preachers and Reverends pushed Daley to have an appeal process for these minority rejected applicants.

This process was suppose to help applicants who had some minor past history during their growing years. There are some kids who do end up doing some stupid things due to the neighborhood they live in. Some kids are even "forced" in one way or another to be in a gang just to make it through their own neighborhood and their own block.

But like the old saying goes, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Aldermen and other politically connected people used this board to push through some of the worse possible candidates. From relatives who were hard core gang members to pieces of shit who were working for their wards.

Remember we just had a female Aldermen convicted for her illegal activities, who's lover was a high ranking gang member. So God only knows who she used her juice for.

But once again it just reflects the true juice and power these bullshit members of the cloth have with this Mayor. Mayor Daley would bend over and kiss the ass of these storefront preachers before he would ever give a dollar for a benefit for a sick copper.

I personally received a phone call in regards to an arrest I made on a subject who later applied for the police dept. The female arrestee slammed the door on my arm while I was chasing a guy who just did a shooting and ran into the residence she was in. Needless to say, after fighting and arresting her, my partner and I found the shooter hiding in the basement of the house, along with the weapon. She didn't live there but was visiting the offender who did live there. The offender was her baby’s daddy.

The background investigator told me based on my information, he was going to block her employment to the CPD. A few weeks later I received another call from that investigator, he informed me that two exempt members as well as one Alderman had written letters supporting this candidate to be hired. This is what this department is hiring now. A female who is the baby's momma of a gang member who is now convicted and serving time for the shooting.

You are getting the department they want.

The Real Reason Why The Chicago Public Schools Had A 93.7% Attendance For The 1st Day Of School


Chicago Public Schools chief Arne Duncan and Board of Education President Rufus Williams said Tuesday's (2008) attendance clocked in at 93.7 percent, up from last year's previous high of 93 percent. In 2000, only 76 percent of students showed up the first day, an eight-year low.

________________________
You want to know why the CPS 1st day of school attendance went up from 76% in 2000 and now to 93.17% in 2008?

Sounds pretty incredible that the Chicago Public School system can raise the 1st day of school attendance so much in just a few years.

Well here is their little secret. A policy that wasn't in place in 2000 but is now. Any student who did not show up for the 1st day of school was un-enrolled in the school system. The only students that were marked absent are students where the parent actually called the school informing them of a bona fide reason for the student to absent, i.e. illness, dental or medical appointments.

The CPS will only re-enroll these students if and when they finally show up. It is a perfect plan to inflate the 1st day of school attendance percentage.

Mayor Daley, not knowing how many students were going to participate in Rev. Meeks' school boycott was hedging his bet to insure a great 1st day of school attendance number and to minimize the importance of Rev. Meeks' boycott.

OT a little...got on a roll..


I must be really stupid--

Except for one, the cases in the paper are old news. So they cite what, 5 cases out of 11-13,000 coppers supposedly?

What is the incident ratio between how many aldermen are crooks and have been indicted, etc. Yes, a 'bad' copper will have ill effects on the citizenry....on a what, one-on-one basis usually? A 'bad' alderman on the other hand, affects not only his/her constituency, but wide-ranging policy that can affect millions of people.

A couple years ago I was working on a case that had the potential to reach all the way to Daley's desk. It was SHOCKING to me how widespread the corruption was, all the way to Springfield.

It took awhile, but I finally realized that there is no one in gov't to put an end to this. I found out I was talking to people about my case, only to later find out they were also the bad guys.

I would walk out of a mtg and within a day I'd have someone calling me saying, 'so, you were at such and such location meeting with so and so yesterday?" This happened wherever I went...city offices, coffee shops, on street corners. It was astounding.

It also dawned on me that since I had NO CLOUT that I was highly expendable.

There is no case, no cause, no reason to do more than the bare minimum on this job. Answer calls, back up your fellow officers.

Without clout you are an ant. Go to work, have as much fun as you can and go home and live your real life.

I hope people get this msg and don't just bash me--not saying I'm a great det or anything--the case presented itself, I looked into it, and it was an eye-opening experience.

We are all we've got, and we better start realizing that. I know a lot of the 'dissing' on here is to let off steam, but we've got to work on presenting a more united front.

Be careful of everybody out there and be safe.

The 91 entrance test was corrected by college kids who were instructed to flunk white people wh had relatives who were current or former CPD. A lawsuit was filed by Anne Burke and it was shown that 600 white people were eliminated during the psych based on this one issue. A new firm was hired and the results were redone.

I think this is an important post. I think Daley is declaring war on our department and I think he could win. Imagine if Obama wins and the federal investigations into corruption under Daley end. He would be free to focus his harrasement of the department at will. Many cops will become enraged at the union for not fighting back enough. When the members declare war on the union, he may try to run his own lackey in the department, a common move by him. I think the union is in trouble as are all the members. I think it's a crucial presidential election and Daley could come out on top. There is a rumor is brother is going to run for governor. If he does and wins, there will be no stopping the Daley family and he can do what he wants to the department.

We never claimed the Sun Times slandered him. We asked for info on whether the release of his medical condition was appropriate due to confidentiality rules. It appears he's used his conditions as past defenses so it may be in the public realm already.

And we pointed out that the common denominator in all the recent Sun Times articles is political appointments by the mayor.

the suntimes had two stories plus a long editorial on the police firing issue. only once, in the very last line of the editorial, did they state that most cops are honest. why? i saved a copy of the times from po francis' death. the paper states "we too often fail to appreciate the the real cops, the truest cops, those such as officer francis who never make the news but keep chicago as safe as they can every day." the times can't shit on a dead cop because of a backlash, but give them 2 days and they once again show how phony they are. does anyone really think the times gave a damn that a cop got killed? doubt it. if a cop gets shot, it MAY get one line in the paper. if the police shoot an armed offender, cops integrity is instantly challenged by the times and the story is front page news. the paper that states "we take these officers for granted" is the the same media who pushes to make us look bad every day. why not go after the mayor and the aldermen and the real crooks of this city? power. we have none and are expendable to this city. of course, what do i know? i'm just a dirty crooked, wife beating, coke snorting, gang banging cop. just ask the sun times. stay safe

"Remember to lock your fingers or your fired. Firing recruits for the slightest variation of a situp is ridiculous Seems the same gym instructor has failed all of the recruits for situps. Smells like a law suit waiting to happen."

Dont forget that the rules for completing the P.O.W.E.R. test apply to ALL recruits. they are spelled out in technicolor before the test. if you cannot bust out the required amount of situps in the allotted time (remember, you get 3 (THREE) chances PER P.O.W.E.R. test in the academy to pass, (potentially 12 opportunities each a week apart to allow for further preparation) after PT every morning for however long they are in there now, then you dont want this job enough to have it. nobody stops recruits from working on their own on something they struggle with (ie.. situps), esp when every single gym instructor will help you out on their own time if you ask them.

moral of the story: if after 3 separate spaced out attempts to pass the sit ups, if you cant keep your hands in the required position , then either youre an idiot or you just cant hack it. sorry

It would be nice if the test was applied the same to all but it is not. Also I think you are missing the point. The Gym instructors are adding requirements to the state power test. There is no requirement to have your fingers locked. Who gave them the authority to disregard state regulations? The recruits are not failing to do the sit-ups. If they could not do them I would agree with you that they should be fired but they do their sit ups and then are told afterward that their fingers slipped and they failed.

Check out Osama Obama's Freudian "slip". This guy is a snake, a liar and a Chicago Machine politico to the core.

No but I have been caught lie, just like Obama.
This guy cant stop lying.Just watched a video where he was claiming the events in Selma (1964) made it possible for his parents to get together. The moron was born in 1961.

Also, I never hung out with members of the American hating Weathermen terrorist organization (Bill Ayers). Never heard my pastor say "god damn America". Never snorted coke. Never sold out the woman who raised me whilst praising my absent father. Never heard my wife say that was the first time she was proud of her country. Never was a bag man (Community Organizer) who strong armed the government into giving money for $150k gazebos in vacant lots. I have never refused to put my hand over my heart during the
NationalAnthem. Never got a sweetheart deal from Tony Rezko. Never financed a warlord cousin in Africa. The reason Barry is such an ass is because he is trying to be a chameleon and mirror whatever he believes the public wants to hear today. He keeps stepping on his wee wee and America is beginning to see through his phony, self serving facade. This guy is so unqualified to be president that his own followers are pitting him against the vice presidential candidate, a sad first in American politics.

Midway airport has made the news again.
You want to talk about the city/dept trampling our contractual rights: one of our sergeants just got transferred to 007 for no apparent reason.
He's the bid AND the senior sgt.

If the dept can screw a sgt, think about what they will do to a PO.

The guy who was transferred is not taking it lying down watch the fireworks! The new LT took over and is making so many changes, like this dumb move the micro-manager needs to be managed! Maybe because her husband is a bigger boss she does whatever she wants! But what about the back ground S&S " who forgot who bought it, why is the IRS asking questions! his salery 160K+hers 110K plus 2 cars work 280K+ !

TO Shaved:
The 91 entrance test was corrected by college kids who were instructed to flunk white people wh had relatives who were current or former CPD. A lawsuit was filed by Anne Burke and it was shown that 600 white people were eliminated during the psych based on this one issue. A new firm was hired and the results were redone.

It was run by an African American firm with plenty of African American so called Psychologists.

The great Broderick Jones who is rotting in the federal pen and had a momma who worked for Terry Hillard was arrested in a hot car before he got on the job. Imagine the embarrassment we could have saved the department by not hiring him or that clown Abate (another checkered past) for that matter.

Is she still on the job and is she the one from IAD?

How about the banger from 14 on suspension for a domestic, on suspension for working while on the medical. Suburban department does a dope warrant he is caught in the dope house with the bangers while in possession of a fake CPD badge and is back at work in less than three months from the fist dayb of his suspension for the domestic. I ts nice to have ties to the gang banging friendly Alderman.

How can someone forget who they sold their business too! Is it because those individuals who bought his business were in the drug business, namely steroids? Supt, if you are reading this, you better check on one of your people before this comes out again very soon, especially now that the IRS is looking at this!

9/09/2008 10:38:00 PM

There was a big article in the Daily Southtown not long ago surely IAD could look into this questionable practice correct! It was in merrionette park next to bourbon street many memebers got screwed over then Leo according to paper forgot who he sold it to! Can you hear me calling! Just like leo walked out on the guys at jefferson tap!

The question should be: Why is it so hard to prosecute cop killers?
