Boneheaded Move
Mayor Daley on Thursday issued a sarcastic blanket apology for the alleged torture of suspects by former Chicago Police Lt. Jon Burge.
“The best way is to say, ‘Okay. I apologize to everybody [for] whatever happened to anybody in the city of Chicago.’… So, I apologize to everybody. Whatever happened to them in the city of Chicago in the past, I apologize. I didn't do it, but somebody else did it. Your editorial was bad. I apologize. Your article about the mayor, I apologize. I need an apology from you because you wrote a bad editorial,” Daley said, laughing.
“You do that and everybody feels good. Fine. But I was not the mayor. I was not the police chief. I did not promote him. You know that. But you've never written that and you’re afraid to. I understand.”
Second, does the mayor really want to issue such a half-assed statement like this? Does he really want people to start connecting him to scandals that have and are occurring while he is the mayor? Involving people he has promoted? That Teflon coat he wears like a shield has to be wearing thin in spots. The Sun Times and Tribune have been poking a bit harder that usual over interconnected scandals and who knows how many of the 1,000 layoffs are going to have axes to grind that might have actual information for intrepid reporters or Federal prosecutors?
We certainly hope someone shoves this "apology" right up the mayor's ass.

mayor asshole always states when he feels nervous "you know that"! He knows nothing about burge,hired truck,his son patricks bullshit contracts,little bobby vanenko,hired truck,victor reyes,rosie andolino,petey andrews,meigs field,midway sale contracts, etc... wtf mayor know nothing knows everything! ask sorich sitting in prison, why has al sanchez not been to trial yet1 rezkos at least talking, hopefully blago goes down with his bitch wife soon!
Sorry, off topic, but speaking of bone headed moves, what's the deal with this softball captain in the 20th district on third watch? This assclown has been stirring up shit by splitting up partners and dumping veteran officers off their cars and putting them on the desk. His excuse is that he wants people to be trained to work the desk and cops not to get too comfortable working with just one steady partner. Of course, this guy has a bull's asshole for a mouth since non of the desk regulars are being made to work the street. This captain is just another evil prick, micro-managing the watch, only letting cops take time due if their activity is up to his standards. Heard he was a real toolbox when he worked in 14 also, pulling the same shit. Seems he was butt buddy's with Commander Avila, the same L.A.P.A loser that fucked shit up in 025 until Rivera came back and took the beef out of his taco. So kiddies, if you like ten hour days and super-jagoff bosses, bid to 20!!!!!
I'll see all you big strong boys at the gym. Get in shape and join up for the (MSF). We need you. I need you. The dicktator " richie the lessor " needs you. GENERAL WEASEL needs you. So come on out sign up and see some action.
Lt Johnny G getting C/O spot soon!!!!!!
Daley will never have his teflon coat developing weak spots he has to big of family to take care of and Obama just wont let that happen!!!!!!
I just saw a bit of the El Daleyo speaking, but wtf. As I saw mentioned on other posts, this guy needs a makeover. Get to Great Clips, Sport Clips, or some other low-priced place to show your fiscal sense and to not look like a street bum.
Wasnt Daley the States Attorney that reaped the benefits of convictions whilst Burge was out getting confessions?
Ya know wat kills me,thieves are thieves and they will never change,bad police are bad police and they will never change,these police were caught before Jody got here!How many has he caught????NONE!Hes done nothing but go after the the petty cop bullshit and F#ck with them!!!What an asshat!!FIRE a cop for the petty sh#t?Your not a leader yer an IDIOT!!!!!we dont expect you to defend the bad guys,but we expected you to defend us thru the petty bs.Thats where you failed us!I would rather watch a thief cop get by, then watch a good cop get jammed up on nonsense like getting drunk,reacting in a situation too physically,or getting pissed to the point of verbal abuse.Must be nice to sit back and collect 300K just to pass judgement..but at least it should be good judgement...If you were ever a COP you would agree with me..cause together us cops know we are humans too!
coockoo
Why is the Chicago media reporters so afraid of this midget prick?
A white Mayor of a major US city is laughing and joking about making an apology about a white police commander torturing black men? IF IT HAPPENED OR NOT, how does this jackass Mayor get away with it?
Isn't there one reporter who has balls and who doesn't care if he is invited to the next free Mayoral dinner who can ask the Mayor after his joking... That was real funny Mr. Mayor. I love the way you joked and laughed about a very serious situation that has cost the city 50 million dollars plus so far and infuriated the black community... But now will you answer the damn question?
Not one of these no balls, no guts and no ounce of intelligence reporters will ever ask the Mayor to answer the question.
You know the Mayor is cornered and you know the Mayor is hiding something when he pulls this stunt. This is his trademark avoidance of the question trick. And not one reporter will pull a rabbit out of their own hat to end this non-sense answering of questions by the Mayor!

What a sarcastic, disingenuous stroke
This BITCH of a mayor could say and do whatever he wants and nothing is done about it.And it's only going to get worse if Osama gets in office. If U.S. Attorney Fitzgerald is so good at what he does why does he waist his time with a case like Burge? Isnt he BALLSY enough to got after the Little Dick or is he just another political PUSSY? I'm losing faith in this guy.
This guy's got no class, no style, and acts like he is indeed king for life.
Don't see any viable candidates against him tho.
OT
In Sun Times, it was reported we have the highest murder rate, more than NY and LA. J-FEDS response? Too much paperwork inventorying prisoner's property? Ya think he is clueless? Aunt bea also backed him up. Officers rather be on street than filling out paperwork! This is our current leadership. Blame the very high murder rate on paperwork delays. Not huge shortage of officers nor the complete lack of morale. layoff more civilians and stop hiring new officers is acceptable. But completing inventory forms? OMG! Ignore broken down cars, no PDT's. In July, JFED called street officers "timid". Now I can't wait to make arrests and earn aunt Bea's respect.
All moves by Daley are "BAD" . For he is the fuckin' biggest bonehead of all. The Obama Fest has got to be the one that takes the cake.
Seems he's losing his grip. Maybe it's the stress of chasing the Olympic dream down the drain it's currently circling.
Jody Weis to face the City Council today over the increase in murders here...
Another bonehead move are the TMA's.
Leaving the Hawks game the other night I came to Ogden/Adams. Traffic was running e/b on Adams which is normally one way w/b. This was a good move to hasten the egress of the UC.
The problem started at the Ogden/Adams intersection. The TMA at the signal control box held the e/w light red for 4 minutes. The problem being that only 2 cars traveled on Ogden. Once the TMA switched the signal we sped to a stop at the next signal north. Again, the TMA was overriding the traffic signal holding traffic. The same problem, there was no cross street traffic, but the light was held red for several minutes.
This pattern continued to Lake street. If you are going to have TMA's they should be trained.
What a joke they are!
But, we all know they are just moor patronage hires.
I hope everyone reads the Eric Zorn story in Thursday's Tribune.
Flint Taylor brags about how he set up Burge and other p.o.'s when they submitted to depositions.
Must reading for working p.o.'s.
Daley has done the sarcastic mocking answer with his stooges all laughing behind him for so long its nice to see the media and people getting sick of it. According to the book,"Moral History of the 20th Century", Chairman Mao and Joseph Stalin both did the same thing, although they had tighter control of the media. The similarities are chilling; thank God we only have a feudal lord to reign over our dieing city. Everyone report to the re-education camps after the big rally downtown.
the only apology i want to hear is an acknowledgement that bringing j-fed here was a huge mistake. then daley can apologize for making the irish look bad.

))))))))))))))))))
So What? What are they going to do to do him?? Two words:
President Obama.
I'm KING RICHARD!!! How am i supposed toknow what goes on in this city!Police Superintendant responsible for all his employees on or off-duty or he will be fired! Inspector, watch those silly silly garbage men! I can't know what they're doing! Hired trucks? Bridgeport people involved? How would i know? Everyone else must know everything bout their people! I don't even know how my son got that sewer contract! Hell, it's someone elses fault that he sometimes beats people with a bat...Now Huberman, get over here you darling and rub my sack...
why would i tell Obama no? so what if we have no police to work this event? The disrict guys morale is so high that they'll jump on the opportunity to work this! The force is only down 11 people so no district or civilian will be shortchanged. Speaking of shortchanged, what's $2 million bucks anyway? I look at it that I"LL be shortchanged if i deny Obama. Just think of all the money I'LL make when i get him elected. $2 million is chump change
More Officers on the street? When is someone going to look at how many people work inside on the desk and lockups and caps offices in these northside districts. Its unbelieveable. Sometimes more than 8 officers are assigned desk duties. This whole department is becoming the biggest joke in a city thats known as the joke by the lake. Not to mention what goes on inside 35th and Mich. Lets just keep giving our pals the DC's more people to work in plain clothes and do nothing or very little all day. (neighborhood relations.)
I went to the A/2 accountability meeting. What a fucking joke! Are these stupid meetings just an act or WHAT? It was just a gripe session with P.O.s asking for things the should have to do their jobs like: more manpower, working computers, and working computers.
What was the Deputy's response? "I have asked for them but it has fallen on deaf ears at HQs."
I say let all of A/2 burn and then rebuild it from the ashes. Is A/2 any indication of what is going on in the rest of the department?
Oh by the way my morale is in the pot-o-potty, Richie!
WERE # 1 FOR THE MURDER CAPITAL OF THE NATION, KEEP UP THE POLICE WORK BOYS! We beat LA & NYC
This is the mayor we get when 78% of the voters do something else on election day besides vote. Of those left, 80% voted for Daley. So you all have Richard M Daley shoved down your throats by 17.6% of the voters.
17.6% of the registered voters get to decide how the rest of us get fucked. Remember this next election day.
It is the same with the pension board election and the FOP elections. In the Feb 2008 FOP election 38% of active officers returned their ballots. 62% couldn't be bothered with even sending the stamped envelope back in!
The majority throw their ballots away. Then they go on the blog and complain.
Remember these dates:
next mayoral election: Feb 2011
next FOP election: Mar 2011
If CPD officers want a good selection of candidates to vote for as FOP leadership then the time is NOW to organize, put together a slate, learn the issues and get your message out there. Otherwise it will be the same old thing. The very few get to decide for the many because most people can't be bothered.
This pattern continued to Lake street. If you are going to have TMA's they should be trained.
What a joke they are!
But, we all know they are just moor patronage hires.

The training they received was bullshit. Do not blame them. Four days of classroom then get out and direct traffic. At least they are working.

I read that also funny shit! It is the "inventory," dam i thought it was because we were down 3,000+ officers! Guess "me dummy"! All the educated people who have no clue at the top, more college wasted!
God bless Jon Burge, and eff Mumbles the Midget!
(OT), just redaing through the threads, looks like many want D-1 pay for all "Special", such as cha, airports etc.. It is about time the boss comes to reason that this would save millions! Make it so that if your a valet for burke/daley/treasuer they work overtime on the regular job then come and suck more from the patrolmen making the D-3 rate, sgts pay plus all the overtime! Then we have the D-2 and D2a dics, doing the smae thing hey boss like 35th st states "If they want to work it ok but d-1 pay, by seniority." Another great idea boss now just put out the order! While I was perusing the D-2 people why is there a female at midway making D-2 pay doing the same job as the other officers? Would she not be better unitlized as a fto or other job that requires her expertise? OR is this another case of "we will not touch her due to massive clout"?
FUCK THAT FAT BASTARD
Listening to this idiot is torture. I demand a full investigation!
he's untouchable and he knows it.
if obamma gets in then he gets stronger, if you can imagine the guy who destroys an airport w/ no consequences any stronger.
How can any of you fools heap any praise on Peter Fitz...Why cause he's irish...like daley, burke, durbin, madigan etc...Forget the old country lads grandma and grandpa came here because the irish fucked it up over there...and Iam of irish blood but American by choice...
I read the Eric Zorn story yesterday and after hearing how Flint Taylor set up the Burge and his detectives I would not recommend any p.o. who is named in a lawsuit submit to a deposition.
We are entitled to the 5th Amendment protections also.
This is the same Flint Taylor who testified last year at 26th Street that he does a cost benefit analysis prior to accepting a client to make sure that he can make money.
I also have strong belief that Taylor works with his clients that they provide the information he needs to win, it might be subordination of perjury if they change their initial story after he tells them they cannot win with the original story.
It's because of these two bums (Daley, Burge) law abiding citizens no longer believe anything the police or mayor says. That is sad.
12:29am, WAAAAAAAA! Same do nothings that lied about 2nd Watch Lt. working 3rd Watch 020 relief. That Lt. never denied anyone going to the murdered office'r wake, period! The 3rd Watch W/C never denied anybody anything (time due) Poor poor boys of 2022 & 2024 3rd Watch, do nothing pussys that have never been the police. WAAAA! can't work together WAAA! 3rd Watch knows better, and we are all tired of your ratting on everyone, don't like 10 hour days, don't like asshole bosses then leave! Seems like he isnt the first W/C that you had problems with, looks like Capt. A. picked on the right dogs. Oh thats right, you won't leave because you r pussies. Shut up and work that desk DOG.
2:09 PM
How dare you claim that the socialist rat Richard DurBin has a drop of Irish blood. My mother's maiden name DurKin is Irish. I'm ashamed of Daley, Burke and Madigan.
Neither of the U.S. senators from Illinois, the governor nor the congressmen "representing" the City of Chicago have ancestry tracing to the Auld Sod.
As far as I'm concerned, you can take all Democrats, regardless of ethnicity, and rocket all of them to Saturn.
The first name of the U.S. Attorney is "Patrick" (not "Peter")
To those of you that claim that CPD MORALE* is low: WRONG!
MORALE is non-existent.
* = this includes the goof that keeps on misspelling moralE as M-O-R-A-L.

When the TMAs are controlling the boxes, it's at the direction of the supervisor, on the radio. A supervisor who often can't see the traffic flow from wherever they happen to be.
I agree they're useless. The ones who worked the Dan Ryan detail would stand on the curb and 'direct traffic' from there. Supervisors would swing by and order them into the street and they would migrate back to the curb when the supervisors left.
"The training they received was bullshit. Do not blame them. Four days of classroom then get out and direct traffic. At least they are working.
10/24/2008 10:57:00 AM"
Working? You can't direct traffic from the corner sidewalk like the TMA @ ROOSEVELT& THE RYAN.
We had a two hour block of instruction & went out the next day. No Problem, Directing Traffic isn't rocket science.
But you need to get on the street& apply yourself. I'll take a recruit two weeks out of the academy over one of these TMAS.

Wait until the sunami of revelers move through the downtown area after the celebration. The recorded violence will cost Chicago the olympic bid.
While I was perusing the D-2 people. Why is there a female (E.Mc)at midway making D-2 pay doing the same job as the other officers and sleeping on duty?
OR is this another case of "we will not touch her due to massive clout"? I wish sgt ewalt would stop covering for her.
