Days Off Canceled - 12 Hour Shifts
Word coming out that days off are canceled for Election Day, maybe the day after depending on events on the ground; 12 hour shifts in the offing; Detectives in uniform along with Tact and Gangs. Even the old Gas Teams are being reassembled at Strike Force.
We're sure details will be fleshed out in the coming days. Start times, assembly points, uniforms, equipment, etc.
Remember - the whole world will be watching. Safety first.

CHA-CHING! gonna make me some overtime just in time for furlough. Pay me bithces.
Win or Lose I think this city, and many other cities, are in for a VERY long election night. If he wins a celebratory riot, you know like the ones they had for the Bulls Championships. And if he loses we, ain't seen nothin yet. They'll make those riots look like a Crane afterschool fight but nationally televised. If they're canceling days off and making everyone work mandatory 12 hour shifts be sure to hit the money box and use up that 2 million of the Barack war chest. Be safe out there and remember the cameras will be EVERYWHERE.
was at the academy today working out and saw the strike force practicing there moves for the election. many many 3 year wonders on that team be safe.
So much for my rdo. Always ready to defend Chicago. Who thinks Nov 4 is going to get very serious real fast?
We need Darth Vader's theme song.
Lets see that 4 hours OT minimum on the 4th. Then when my RDO is cancelled on the 5th and 6th...
That would be 20 hours times 1.5 equals 30 hours OT @ approx & $35 and hour
$1050 gross! By the time the Obama tax plan redistributes that I will probably owe about 21 dollars and change.
From the current contract:
An officer who performs work on a
regular day off which has been cancelled, will receive a
minimum of eight (8) hours compensation or compensation
at the rate of time-and-one-half times the actual
hours worked, whichever is greater.
So if your day off is cancelled because you're in Day Off Groups 5 or 6 and you work a 12 hour day this will net you a possible check for 18 hours time due or $$$.
Obama......yo mama!
Introduction to
Paranormal Command Post
This step by step manual was designed to protect the citizens of Chicago from the evil of the underworld.
An interesting example of folk exorcism are the various remedies found in Greece and Sicily against the Vaskania or "Evil Eye." In one exceedingly arcane magical rite, the exorcist (usually an elderly woman) begins by anointing the forehead of the suffering person with olive oil, then adding some of the oil to a glass of water. If a demonic influence is present, it is believed that the oil within the water will form into the shape of an eye. If so, the exorcist then recites the appropriate prayers for the individual's deliverance.
Keep this in you F.O.P. book after the election and read from preprinted card verbatim :
"O God of gods and Lord of lords, Creator of the fiery spirits and Artificer of the invisible powers, of all things heavenly and earthly: Thou Whom no man hast seen -- nor is able to see; Thou Whom all creation fears and before Whom it trembles; Thou Who didst cast into the darkness of the abyss of Tartarus the angels who didst fall away with him who once was commander of the angelic host, who disobeyed Thee and haughtily refused to serve Thee, do Thou expel by the terror of Thy name the evil one and his legions loose upon the earth, Lucifer and those with him who fell from above. Set him to flight and command him and his demons to depart completely. Let no harm come to them who are sealed in Thine image and let those who are sealed receive dominion, 'to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy.' (Saint Luke 10:19) For Thee do we hymn and magnify and with every breath do we glorify Thine all-holy name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit now and forever and unto the ages of ages. Amen."
"As always, stay safe"
Check the money box!
Please JFed...I beg you. Get SGT.
BS OFF of the Tact team in 8. He has NO clue what it means to be the police. Ask anyone in 8.

Is that the goof from 022?
Days off cancelled? Mayor Daley make up your mind please! First you are demanding non-paid furlough days and now your demanding we work for time and a half on our days off!
My real question is... Sounds like Obama got a sweetheart deal with only a two million dollar bill for this Obama fest.
Sounds like before this event is over, even if this event is non-violent, the total tab for this event will be over 5 million dollars.
So did the Mayor include in this deal that any expenses over 2 million dollars will be billed to the DNC and Obama election fund?
I would also like this to be included in the bill for this event:
Any city employee including but not limited to Police Officers, Firefighters, Paramedics, Traffic Control Aides and any other city employee directly assigned to this event... who is hurt, injured or killed during this event will have all expenses directly related to their injury or death paid for by the parties responsible for holding this event.
I would also like to see Obama and the DNC also be the insurer of the participants of this event. Meaning if the street thug throws a brick at you and breaks your hand, any judgment in your favor would be paid for by Obama and the DNC. Since we all know that the knucklehead who threw the brick doesn't have a pot to piss in.
Obama collected over 1/2 a billion dollars during this election. He can afford it.
4 hours of mandatory overtime for one complete tour of duty calendar day:
4 hours X 1.5 = 6 hours
Average houorly rate: $33.57
Average number of police officers working in a 24 hr. calendar day: 5,345
6 X 33.57 X 5345 = $1,076,590.00
That is if the police only work hours of OT. Now if you add all the other union people and the fire dept. You are probably at about 4,000,000.00
Now that is just in overtime.
Nothing was included about all the cops and other workers who are working their day off for 12 hours of overtime.
And the newspapers stated that Daley only charged the Obama camp $2,000,000.00 for this event?????
Question for Secondcitycop,
Will you be blogging live from this Obama Celebration?
or
Will you at least have the ability to post updates during this event?
Let us know please!
CNN< Nancy Grace (ET Al) are woundering why Hudson killer Balfour (Parol violator cocaine in car wasn't violated on his parol) LOVE the national attention on our crappy system and the SAVAGERY in Engelhood................yes things will change!!! Actually they will never change
i can not wait to watch the city burn... i wonder how the liberal media will cover the "celebration"/riot
we don't need no water, let the city burn..... i am sure the axis of corruption-- daley, stroger, and obama have the "fest" details worked out already.
Please pass this along to everyone that you have on your e-mail list because this is just the beginning --- if this arrogant, egotistical, super liberal, president wannabe gets into office....
To all,
I have read all of the emails from Law Enforcement & Military personnel about Barack Obama's rudeness and what seems to be disgust for basically anyone in uniform. Well, it's my turn to add to the list of emailers and here it is:
So members of the Calhoun County Sheriff's Department, Michigan State Police, (me included) and other local agencies inside Calhoun County are working with Secret Service in the security of Mr. Obama. Mr. Obama's bus arrives in Battle Creek and pulls into the stadium area. Before Mr. Obama exits the bus, he has the Secret Service get off and tell all Law Enforcement personnel in uniform that they now have to stand behind the bus so Mr. Obama is not seen with anyone in a Law Enforcement uniform before he gets off or while in the public view. So, everyone from Michigan State Police, Sheriff's Departments and other agencies look at each other for a brief second, go and stand behind the bus out of sight so Mr. Obama does not have to see, or been seen with, what to him is 'undesirables' since he refuses to be seen , or even acknowledge Military or Law Enforcement personnel in uniform. And he wants to be our commander-in-chief!
At a time of war and terrorism in our world, this presidential candidate who is being protected by various branches of the military & law enforcement at the tax payers expense, refuses to acknowledge, be seen with, have in his photographed background, any type of Military or Law Enforcement in uniform.
But this is not in the headlines or in the news or on TV. The TV news doesn't show us marching around behind the bus. In the future, look and see if you can see a single soldier or police officer in uniform when you see Obama. Why? I wonder what the story or media frenzy would be if it was Muslims, blacks, whites, Jews, or any other race, gender, religion, and/or occupation, that Mr. Obama refused to be seen with or have around him.
Why would I make this up? Everyone in Law Enforcement knows we have traditionally had more funding under Democrats.
Just food for thought leading up to November 4th.

You should all make a lot of dough on election day. I never was lucky enough to have election day fall on my regular day off. I do remember an election when one of the most liberal alderman from the 43rd ward duked me 20 bucks for lunch. What a country!
Dear Friends,
The John McCain campaign is hosting their victory party at the Chicago Hilton, 720 South Michigan Ave, directly across the street from the Obama election party in Grant Park. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and we will be there for the duration. There is an after hours party being held later that night, so we will be there for the duration.
All Chicago Police Officers and Firemen working the park (and off duty, too) are welcomed to stop by our victory party and have a cup of coffee, bite to eat or just to warm up and rest. There will be televisions and well behaved supporters.
We thank you for your hard work and your efforts to make this night safe and enjoyable. Be safe.
Hope to see you election night.
Thank you and God bless America,

the word from downtown is to get your FOID cards updated. there is an audit going on. please update your cards if they are expired. it will be a sustained cr# and automatic day off. the city is looking for easy money from all of us. don't give Daley anything. double check those cards.
10/28/2008 08:28:00 PM
===============================
HEY DIPSHIT!!! FOID cards haven't been required of Peace Officers for close to 15 years. You need a FOID card to buy ammo, but don't need one if you wish to buy a duty weapon.
Check your facts before you post BS.
10/28/2008 09:53:00 PM
Threr's a G.O. stating that all sworn members must have a FOID card. It has nothing to do with state law. When you walk into ERPS it's posted right on the counter for all P.O.'s trying to retrieve their weapons that were inventoried after a shooting.. If you don't produce a FOID to the on-duty supervisor..........no gun for you. What do you think of that DIPSHIT?
ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT CANCELING 1ST WATCH RDO'S TOO?
Even Cooter.things must be real bad.the city must going to burn..but i love him
Ka-Ching!!! The whole world can watch me while I cash the check.
This is possibly the only thing Obama will ever do that is good for me.
We the members of the STALAG 017 tac, vow to be loyal to all those who are bosses and drink more KOOL-AID. We will not bad mouth any exempt member and we will get a drinking on the public way arrest ie; ( illegal alien ) who will not beef because he's afraid of the police already. We will continue to wear stylish clothing to set us apart from the watch personnel and illuminate the elite status we have.
If O'sama doesn't win there will be riots, and if he does win there will be riots! So, vote McCain!
I volunteer to drive one of the Super Wagons parked in 001.
They are the nicest vehicles we have since they never get used.
White Sox cut Ken Griffey Jr.
Protect your homes and families... let the ghetto burn!
Whether you like him or now, Obama and his people aren't total idiot. You'll have to have a ticket to get into the Grant Park party.
I mean you'd have to be a total idiot to allow millions of people to come to a free event that would obviously be impossible to provide adequate security for if the crowd gets uppity.
If O'Bama gets in Daley will get his 2016 bid, J-Fed is out, and (relative by marriage of O'Bama) Shields is the new Sup. we are still fucked!
Wait till all the stupid white liberals become victims that night. No help from me...a friend of Obama is an enemy of the country.
Where will they assemble? Where are they gonna park all the cops personal cars? Or maybe I just take the train in full costume?
Someone posted that business from Michigan about how Obama hates people in uniform. If that is true that is probably one reason Shortshanks will not call Blago for the National Guard.
Stay safe, this is likely to be the biggest battle of our careers.
The bullshit begins! Asshole's not in office yet and were already getting fucked! Bring on the Obama riots!
Forecast as of today for Obamanik??? 62F and clear! The perfect storm!
It's time for a change,
vote McCain.
Not Barack
Obama Hussein.
When is the last time days off were canceled? If I recall correctly, days off were not even cancelled on 09/11.
This is one of the best examples of officer shortage. If they are not short, why cancel days off? Why the 12 hour shifts? I can't remember the last time my husband even made overtime.
hey my day off is cancelled too. 1st watch for 05nov is cancelled--day off groups 6-7
Obama thinks he has this thing sewn up. The media is helping him. All these polls showing Obama up over McCain are skewed. The pollsters have been oversampling democrats to make it look like there is an overwhelming support for Obama the most merciful(averting eyes).The polls have not looked at traditional voting patterns from the past. Add different variables that they are not looking at. Like the disaffected Hillary supporters, and whites that will never vote for a black.
The thing is to watch where they are campaining. Penn. is closer than what people are saying. That is why McCain has been camping out there. Rendell, the governer demanded that Obama get back there this week. If Obama the "one" has that state sewn up, why is he camping out there as well?
The most accurate poll from 2004 was the IBD/TIPP poll. That poll has it about a two point race as of yesterday.
The bottom line is there is going to be throng of people out in Grant park being lead on by Barry and he media. When the night drags on and he loses, I cant attempt to guess how bad it will get.
It aint over by a long shot, lets be safe and let them have the city. I aint getting hurt for these fools.
vote McCain
News Flash......Boys and Girls injust 10 short minutes there are no tickets left and the demand is well over the 75,000 per HR., Mayor Shortshanks said 150000 will show up, more like several million this is better than the 4th fireworks. I hope he knows these kiddies will behave ouside the fenced area, and what will happen with all these people there waiting for the returns if he looses!!! A weiner roast or BBQ! How many coppers will it take to corral the honor students on State st. or Michigan ave. once they see the christmas presents in the store windows win or loose. I think he is having all revenue agents write anov tickets for public urniation! no toilets in park. Hotels along Michigan are sold out and put on extra security! I can see the lawsuits allready being filed. Check that money box!!!!!
Cough , cough......Yeah Sgt. its P.O. Blah Blah I need to hit the medical. Yeah I know it election night, but cough, cough I just don't give a shit about bo and what happens at his rally. Fuck that, cancel my day off just to work this assholes rally get bent. My time at home with my family is more valuable. Food for thought, all officers working for this rally, who's watching are homes.
"IF A GANG IS DEALING DRUGS AND NOT KILLING ANYONE....THAT'S NOT ON OUR PRIORITY LIST".
The quote is from Weis, the so-called superintendant of Chicago Police at a City Club of Chicago Luncheon on Tkuesday. Apparently this hill-billy cannot harbor more than one priority at one time. Kind of like not being able to walk and chew gume at the same time.
But then again he was a Fed who like other feds never had an original thought.
So the gangs can run wild with a drug business as long as they don't overly kill other gangbangers.
The leadership of this city has gone to 100% shit.
Not only is the whole world watching, they will be listening and reading too.
Holy crap in my pants, Batman!

To Jason Kern Mich.P.D.:
Your post makes you seem like a man who believes in fairness and loyality.
Thanks for your personal insight.
BUT
This is Chicago. Fairness and loyality are gone due to a Mayor who runs "MURDER CITY" by threats and his fbi whipping boy superintendent who is clueless.
Your response was due to a specific event PRIOR to an election.
Here in MUDER CITY , prior, might be defined as , make it look good because the citizens only have the capactiy to "percieve their safety" not have it.
If you get the drift where this is going.
Here in Daley's MURDER CITY,
the event shall be AFTER the election.
I'd be willing to bet that your scenario of "no-police near the candidate" shall be long gone.
I'd guess the O'bster will be so heavily guarded that the crowd will have to fight just to get a mere glimpse. If they can afford a ticket.
Here in MURDER CITY, Daley's MURDER CITY, heavy police protection is the rule...if you are
someone important, not a high school kid, or a young girl minding her own business, or...
you get the picture.
Thanks anyway for your warning.
It's been posted before by the way,
stay safe and keep the faith.
We the members of the STALAG 017 tac, vow to be loyal to all those illuminate the elite status we have.
HUH??? Dude, you might be the biggest mush on the department.
HOLY FUCK OFF CPD! Batman!!!
Let them eat cake. It's time to get another free tv. Seems like years since the Bulls won anything. Let them go. Go have some fun peoples with excuses. We clean up after. Its only property crimes so long as no cops get hurt who cares. Burn baby burn....
was at the academy today working out and saw the strike force practicing there moves for the election. many many 3 year wonders on that team be safe.
10/29/2008 12:15:00 AM
I keep thinking about the old teams we had with the 6'5", 320lb monsters on. During the Bull's "celebrations", I saw them push dumpsters around like they were made out of aluminum foil. Those days are over. After looking over the list, I see a lot of names I've seen before. Is Scanlon related to the Lt ad Sgt that have retirement flyers up? Is Bartuch connected to the female in the Sup's office who keeps sending out the emails for the "Speakers Series"?
to 10:28 0953: i love it when some asshat posts something making himself look like a total FOOL! we've been required to have a FOID card for years moron! the poster was just trying to pass along some useful information. and even if he was incorrect, your cocky response shows what kind of fool you are. so toughguy, when you're asked for yours at the next inspection, you make sure to tell the boss or inspector he's a "DIPSHIT" for asking to see one. lol
What a minute, the Mayor said it is going to be a celebration in the park with The Chosen One? More extra police that night!
Gas Teams? I was going to go down there with Buffy and son Biff that night. Isn't Billy Ayers going to organize the event? Wait a minute, now I get it, I'm staying up in Lake Forest and watching it on TV.
Just wanted folks to be sure they saw the response to the Michigan situation.
As I understand if they move non secret service people out of the line of photographers it is because they do not want the working people to be seen in photos supporting a candidate they may not indeed support. They can't be in uniform when they are campaigning for a candidate so this eliminates confusion. Obama has certainly been photographed many times with people in uniform.

Keep this in you F.O.P. book until after the election and read from preprinted card inside your Florsheimⓒ verbatim :
"As a True Believer, I hath refused to renounce my Faith and will not join in an Unholy Alliance with the Medical Section by taking a stumble down the basement stairs of my Bungalow so as to avoid the impending Election Day Chaos. I shalt enthusiastically show up at my assembly point on Election Day in full riot gear, prepared to un-sheath my divine brand of Urban Law Enforcement and do battle with the blasphemy of the Electoral Non-Believers, armed with the comfort of knowing whatever split-second misstep I take on this Day of Days shalt be used by Judas (AKA J-Fed) to cast me into the Eternal Fires of Callback. G*d's will be done, Mercy will be strewn about like so many condoms in a Bangkok whore house, enabling the VD of the Electoral Non-Believers to be held in check and revealing their open sores to all. I pledge to ensure the Manner of the Revelation shalt be so profound such as to cause a visitation of a Divine Defecation upon the soiled blasphemy of the Biased Liberal Media, who in their sin brought forth the impending '08 Electoral Apocalypse and CPD Overtime Bonanza (don't forget to checketh the $$$ box). As a True Believer, I shalt abide by the Use of Force Model so as to gently close the blind eye of the Electoral Non-Believer and prevent further spread of Unholy Electoral VD. (Saint Vesuvius de Blanco: Chapter 016, Sector 10, Verse 1, Watch 3rd)."
"As always, stay safe"
what if i'm on furlough and my last 2 days happen to be rdo's for me, should i be looking for a phone call soon to come in?
I agree with the shaved one...The Obama campaign needs to be held personally responsible for injuries held at this event. It is simply irresponsible and negligent to hold en event of this magnitude with everyone filled with so much emotion. When the Obamunists start killing each other, I hope Barack Hussein Obama understands that his ignorance and ego CAUSED the bloodshed.
That is a real ignorant comment to make. While SOS was up and running, I worked my ass off on a beat car on the east end of 8 getting (no lie) at least 7 or 8 jobs the second that I logged on and would continue to get stacked with more jobs the second I would clear. Most of us did our job to the best of our ability and made arrests daily. Just because you may have made more felony arrests on a monthly basis doesn't mean that you kept the crime down in Chicago. That was a group effort of all of the working police in Chicago who did their job just like you everyday.
We did all the real police work, not the bs you beat cars did... sorry, I can't wait to start up at MSF and pick up where I left off, especially since they said they have our backs again... ex-153 ranger glad to be back...
I may catch some shit for having less than five years on the job, but I'm not gonna be the person who pretends to know everything either. We should use this blog to our advantage. How about some tips from the officers who have been through these "celebrations"/ riots?? It may very well be a shit-storm and unless you were around in the early 90s there are alot of officers who have not been through this and any advice or tips would help everyone out. (Going on the medical does not count. Sorry. You may start making fun of me... NOW)
All we can pray for is a McCain victory which is still possible, since my RDO is cancelled I just HOPE more than ever he wins. It will make the night worth it.
Ch 7 says Mette will be joining the MSF when he returns to work.
Please JFed...I beg you. Get SGT.

Due to unforseen circumstances out of our control, the Windy City Veterans Annual Fundraiser had it's venue changed at the last minute. This fundraiser is extremely important because it benefits the Illinois Veterans Home in Manteno. These veterans sacrificed when called to do so and now we ALL need to show our support for these brave men and women. We are a community based veterans group made up of veterans both peacetime and war.
The cost of admission is $25.00 which covers the cost of food, beverages, music and entertainment.
Our fundraiser is no longer at TR's Pub. We are now having the fundraiser at BEVERLY WOODS located at 11532 S. Western Ave. The time will still be 6:30-11:30pm on NOVEMBER 7th 2008.
Many of our members are CPD officers and veterans. We are always helping other causes...especially military and police related.
Thank you for assisting us in getting the word out in such a short length of time.
Respectfully Yours,

Dude,You might want to move that celebration to the suburbs.If Barry loses,which I predict he will,YOU are at Ground Zero.Your party will be destination #1 for the sore losers.
ATTENTION!!!!!!!
Calhoun County Sheriff's Department in Michigan "FUCK W/ CHICAGO COPPERS".
Do not go to Michigan, Calhoun County. They recently locked up a Chicago Copper and held the copper in lockup for 20 hrs. These guys are total jagoffs. If you stop them here in Chicago give them some serious payback.
see OBAMA is already helping out the working man!
ABC 7 local news reported last night that there will be NO PORTABLE TOILETS at BarackFest.
A million people in Grant Park...
Celebrate diversity!
If they cancel my day off do I only get time + a half?
I thought you get double time + a half?
Anyone know?
I think Celine Dion ought to reschedule her concert at the United Center. Nothin good gonna come out of that except poor old ladies and maybe some hot ones who show up at the concert not knowing our fucked up city will be rioting when they leave the concert. Victims!!
Lock it down B!
What is all the baby mama drama going on at vice ? Heard it all started with the new girl?
Fuck Ken Griffey...Pay me bitch.
I took advantage of the free FLU shot at the FOP hall. Thanks to the FOP. Im glad to see my dues being used for something good.
Lets say that the contractor who dispensed the FLU shots to us was sent a bad batch of FLU vaccine. The vaccine contained to large an amount of LIVE FLU virus.
Heres where it could get interesting. (Per the RN in charge-they the contractor brought 6000 syringes containing this years FLU vaccine.) Its expected that 5000 shots will be administered to FOP members. What happens if we all get the FLU? This is better than the BLUE FLU!
Think about it...3 days to incubate. 7 days sick in bed thats a minimum of 10 total days. HMMM can you imagine? Its now 8NOV before we start trickling back to work. Several days past the election? Talk about making National News, and somebody will make a connection saying its a job action. BUT in reality we would all be on the medical. LEGIT and SICK.
IT(BAD VACCINE) has happened to in the past according to the CDC.
ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT CANCELING 1ST WATCH RDO'S TOO?
10/29/2008 07:30:00 AM
--------------------
No, only 1st Watch RDO's on Nov 4th...
CYOA!!! That's Cover your OWN asses!!!
This is going to be a complete clusterfuck.
Days off cancelled for election day? It’s your civic duty. You’re lucky to get getting anything extra for it. At least, that’s what they used to tell us when they cancelled our days off to make us sit at a polling place from 0545 hrs until all the votes were counted and the place locked up.

No money, no time and one half, just straight time due, to be used at the watch commanders convenience; he checked your ticket book to see if you were writing enough

Officer Michael Mette
Mike please do an old timer a favor get a safe inside job and lay back. The days of kicking in doors are over and your safety and pension should be number one on the things to do. You've weathered the storm and have come out on top, but please Mike do me a favor and don't put yourself in a position that the city will hang you out for ie; throw you under the bus.
Remember hero today, scape goat tomorrow. WE all need to stick together. Either way you play it Mike be safe.
I know you people probably hate hearing from old retired cops BUT back in the 60s I had very little time on the job about 1 yr. when all the riots started. I went through them all and lived. We had no training for anything and I was on the tact team. I don't think time on the job will have anything to do with how you act, it will all be a learning expierence for everyone. It was for us. PLEASE watch out for each other, don't trust the press and remember there are cameras everywhere. At least we did not have to worry too much about that.
Blunts and 40's for e'eryone!!!
Washington Post ran article today comparing Grant Park '68 to Grant Park '08. Basically states this marks start of new Dem. Supermajority. However.....they had to take shot at "police riot". Be careful. BTW, the term "Police Riot" was coined by the Walker Commission. Yes, Dan Walker who was later elected Gov., tried, and convicted of ripping off his bank. DO NOT VIOLATE ANY OBAMA SUPPORTERS CIVIL RIGHTS! YOU WILL BE FUCKED!
Wonder what the Michigan Avenue Business crowd thinks of all this?
This just in: all tac/gang teams that are rdo on the 4th will work at straight time, they will switch rdo to save money, only them because they volunteer to work tac, contract doesn't apply..
From the "burbs"....
We have got notice today that Chicago has requested mutual aid on election night. We here on your north border(Howard St.) have been advised to be prepared to head south if needed. Be safe and know we are there to help.
Dont worry, the Obama campaing is paying for all this extra police protection on election night.
To all who serve and protect..be very careful this election night.
Don't let anyone violate your airspace.

God won't let it happen. According to Pollster John Zogby of Zogby International, the organization responsible for accurately calling the last three presidential elections to within 1/2 of 1%, as of 29 October 2008 John McCain is less than five points behind the Marxist philosopher from Hyde Park. If the "Bradley Effect" occurs to even a modest extent John McCain will be the next president. Voters are starting to have the epiphany I was waiting for.
We cannot turn the country over to a person who's political career had it's genesis in Bernadine Dorhn's Hyde Park living room. I am both saddened and bewildered by police officers who claim to be either still undecided, or are voting for Obama. Officers please Google "San Francisco Police Station Bombing-16 February 2008". That police sergeant is still dead, his children grew up fatherless, and according to the FBI (the real FBI, not the charlatans who rolled out a red carpet for Al Qaeda) William Ayers wife Dohrn made and planted the bomb. What more can I offer? Our choice is between a Navy fighter pilot and war hero, or a Harvard law school affirmative action set aside who became counsel for ACORN. Do the right thing. Save yourself-Vote McCain!!!!
WHO CARES IF THE CITY BURNS.
1st and 16th.......is all that matters.
Since it aint the 1st, and it aint the 16th. WHO CARES.
Check the MONEY box and milk the city for all its worth, because they are milking us.
All personnel assigned to the Obama riots will have as top priority protection of the Police Pension Board offices and Northern Trust Building to ensure continued issuance of monthly pension checks.

Police Officers overwhelmingly approved a contract that gives them a 17% raise over four years. Members of the PBA approved the contract by 99.4%.
Under the agreement, the January 2009 Police Academy class will have a starting base salary of $40,361 and goes to $41,975 on August 1, 2009. When adding holiday pay, uniform allowance, and average night differential; a first-year Police Officer will have a total salary of $46,228 before overtime.
The base pay will increase every year to $76,488 after 5.5 years. When adding holiday pay, uniform allowance, average night differential, and longevity pay; a Police Officer with 5.5 years will earn $90,829 before overtime.
Wow are F.O.P should do better then that? NOT!!
It's engraved in my mind like it was yesterday. 47th and King Dr., the first Bulls championship final game. Sitting on the hood of the squad watching the game on a 6 inch screen operating out of the cigarette lighter holder in the car. The streets were so quiet it was like twilight zone and we were in bullet proof vests, riot helmets etc. "This is bullshit" I said. "People are just happy, nothings going to happen!" The loud buzz ended the game as we all jumped up and cheered, high fiving each other, we stared in total shock as hundreds and hundreds poured out of high-rises into the streets, throwing bottles, breaking windows, looting stores, busting out OUR windows, running past with clothes, boxes, cash registers, etc, 10-1's everywhere and constant. We had to pick bottles up and break them so they couldn't be thrown back at us. 3,4,5,6, bottles of pepper spray used and tossed just to get to the car (now front windowless) to help a copper at 47th and St. Lawrence pinned in a store by looters. and on and on it went. At 71st and Ashland the CFD used a fire hose to spray down looters that were attacking fire and police, most of whom were recruits pulled from the academy to direct traffic. By the end of the night/morning one guy in our unit had been shot in the leg, all of us had been shot at, my mask was ripped from helmet, most everyone had been injured by glass and bottles and the cars were all trashed, some even had mars lights gone. Like I said, the bulls won, they were happy.
DONT JEOPARDIZE YOUR CAREER FOR THIS CITY IF THE SHIT HITS THE FAN ON ELECTION NIGHT.

Was in Intermediate Word class today w/about 5 IPRA members as well. Am going to try to be diplomatic in my comments....
They were barely computer literate. 95% of questions regarding instruction was from them. And STUPID questions!!!
No wonder there is a backlog of complaints!!!
Can anyone tell me the standards used in hiring these people???
Do they have GED's, bachelor's degrees, etc???? Holy smoke, if they are in charge of investigating incidents involving police, this whole city, and especially we, are in a world of shit!!!!
The kicker is, when we all had to introduce ourselves and state our reason for being there, one IPRA chick said, 'I was MANDATED to be here!'
As were they all, as they should have been, but they should have been in the remedial class.
Oh, and the only ones talking while the instructor was trying to teach???? IPRA!!!!
Heard a lot of grumbling about bosses, etc...did not seem like happy campers...........
AND YET ANOTHER REASON NOT TO DO SHIT ON THIS JOB!!!
I find it interesting that only AFTER the Obama camp agreed to pick up the tab did they start putting rules into place (invites only, fences, etc.).
If the City was still on the hook, it would be a free for all and taxpayers would have to pay for it all.
FOID ARE REQUIRED ITS THE GUN REGISTRATION THAT WE DONT HAVE TO DO
I bet J-Fed had his wife pick him up some Depends while she was grocery shopping this week.
WTF! A little off topic but they switched starting times for Halloween, if you were days you're nights now (tact and gangs) but the order is dated 09 October and we get it today?! Did someone just forget to pass this thing out? What if you're planning to be with your kids?

so when do we get to cast our votes? the entire CPD being disenfranchised?
i am outraged.

OT: Well, there's a Latin King in the CPD 8-1 class!
How did this banger get on? We're only hiring a handful of people and we have to accept this POS. Who's his clout? Maybe he'll be assigned somewhere where he'll have access to P.O's personal files. Get rid of this POS while it's still possible, that is, if it can be verified that he is, and was, the ENEMY.
Has any one heard of the Chicago Democratic Conference?
I was standing in line today waiting to vote and dozens of people were holding a pre-printed list provided by them of who to vote for.
Now if your not able or smart enough to make up your own mind on who to vote for, maybe you should not be voting.
The American voter has become just a puppet! The Democrats tell them who to vote for and all these idiots do it.
Our voting process has become a fucking joke. They will tell you who to vote for. You don't have to be a US citizen. You can register at 100 differant address and vote 100 times.
This is a sad day for the United States!
Can you say THIRD WORLD COUNTRY?
First of all, I love this blog. I don't always agree with everything written, but am always open to another point of view.
To poster Jason Kern, you know as well as I do what you described didn't happen. Secret Service is in charge, and it seems your feeling have been a bit hurt by others not letting you have control of the situation. I have been to numerous events with the Obama Campaign, and have never, ever seen him treat anyone, regardless of uniform the way you describe.
If you have a problem with his politics, discuss those, don't fall into the crap your spreading.
His secret service detail has been the exact same people from the beginning. They come into areas and take control, not Obama, and not locals.
I'm sorry you didnt get a more active role in his security. But keep up the good work, and maybe one day you will get to secure a President etc.
Too all others on SCC sorry about the rant. This is my first post, but I couldnt let this one just go.
Stay safe Tuesday night. I wont be anywhere near Grant Park, but will be saying a prayer for all your safety, while having a cold one.
Subject: Army Times Poll -- Presidential Race
Somehow I missed seeing this in the New York Times, Washington Post, or Rolling Stone.
In case you missed the October 8 issue of the Army Times, here are the results of the Army Times' poll of Military personnel regarding the upcoming election (in percent):
J. S. McCain B. H. Obama
Overall 68% 23%
Army 68% 23%
Navy 69% 24%
Air Force 67% 24%
Marines 75% 18%
Retirees 72% 20%
White Non-Hispanic 76% 17%
Hispanic 63 % 27%
Black/African-American 12% 79%
Enlisted 67% 24%
Officers 70% 22%
It seems that the only group that supports Obama is the Black/African-American service members. Surely their vote is not based on color instead of issues...
See the results in chart format here:

They aren't worth this.....we always have each other......thats the important message to remember....talk to someone before you decide something like this....
Lieutenant Michael Pigott recently responded to a call in New York City of a dangerous emotionally disturbed person. This call was hardly routine for Pigott, but certainly not unique. Nothing was routine about any of Pigott’s calls, other than the fact that up until this one, Lt. Pigott was routinely successful at what he did.
Lt. Pigott was what some in law enforcement would describe as an honorable blue knight in black armor. He was a member of the highly acclaimed New York Police Department’s Emergency Services Unit. Pigott was not just a member – he was a unit commander.
Pigott arrived on the scene, and after a period of time he did what SWAT Commanders do day-in and day-out: he made a difficult decision under extraordinary conditions. A wild-eyed, naked, 35-year-old man from Brooklyn, who was perched on a ten foot wall swinging a long fluorescent light at anyone, who would come near him. He showed signs of what is known in law enforcement as “Excited Delirium.” Pigott made the call and directed a team member to fire his electrical control device at the dangerous suspect in an effort to peacefully subdue him. The suspect fell from the wall on which he was perched and, tragically, died.
This was the exact result that Lt. Pigott was trying to prevent. The incident was obviously devastating to all, who were involved. Pigott was reportedly administratively suspended and according to news reports he had his weapon and badge, “stripped” from him.
The media had a field day. This honorable man, who accepted total responsibility for his decision was named, blamed, and defamed in the media. This husband, father, son, and brother officer took as much as he could and then made another difficult decision that would have a tragic outcome. He went to his station, and after writing a most sincere apology he clipped the lock off a fellow officer’s locker, removed from it a 9mm pistol, and with it took his own life.
Lt. Pigott had been warned that he might face indictment. He could not fathom himself being led away in handcuffs. He spent the last moments of his life, alone, debriefing his final SWAT call out.
Lt. Pigott was a good man, whose life was filled with danger and many challenges. He faced them all, earning respect and achieving many unqualified successes. He had geared himself up and prepared himself tactically for any barrage that might be leveled at him by the criminals he was sent to apprehend. He found himself unarmed and ill prepared for the barrage leveled at him by the media. Their fire was relentless, withering and merciless.
If Lt. Pigott could have survived the onslaught of negative press coverage, he most certainly would have warned all officers to prepare emotionally for the imperfect world, containing imperfect people that bring on imperfect calls that lead to imperfect conclusions. Their aftermath can be as deadly to officers as the calls themselves. He would warn all to emotionally prepare for what is to come and to “Gear Up!”
They aren't worth this.....
This imperfect conclusion left a good father, a good son, a good husband, a good friend, and a good cop, unable to survive his last debrief. I wonder if our “friends” in the media ever debrief their actions. Maybe they would…in a perfect world. God help them and bring them wisdom.
Hopefully Lt. Pigott, a brave and honorable protector and servant, has found a perfect world. God bless him and bring him peace.
J-Puke in tribune Wednesday stated that if drug dealers are NON-VIOLENT the will NOT be a top priority.Non- violent street gangs dealing drugs....interesting concept.This goof is a fuckin joke.
Does anyone know if they will ask ILEAS for help, I'm on the NIPAS' Mobile Field Force and heard we may be going downtown for this thing as well. We were scheduled for regular training that day.
So if I have to work 12 hour shifts, when do I get to vote? This a suppression of my voting right! Don't tell me that I can vote early. I have the right to vote on election day. Besides, I am still waiting for the Obama praying to Mecca video to come out. And why do I have to work on my day off when the new messiah says that we don't have to go to work? This is bullshit. My day off is ruined because the bosses know that a bunch of hooligans will cause problems.
On 2 Nov 08 @ 5:00 PM I will be on Chicago radio talking about the planed Election Day Obama Insurrection at Grant Park. The plan for 1 million Obama supporters would be nothing short of a recipe for a disaster of historic proportions.
I’m going to talk about the lack of a contract, impossible working conditions, low morale and the shortage of officers. How the undue influence of Chicago’s reverends being allowed to overly departmental policy will also be a topic.
For those officers stuck at Grant Park , you will be in my prayers…
What kind of idiot planned this detail? Do you think we do not have a life. You can keep the fucking overtime. I have shit to do that does not involve CPD or this political bullshit!! You send some shit out like that on Tuesday that is effective for next Tuesday!! Thanks for the heads up! Stupid new regime!!! Stupid ne regime!!!
better hope 021 district tac team does not show up! They BLOW (each other)!!!
"IF A GANG IS DEALING DRUGS AND NOT KILLING ANYONE....THAT'S NOT ON OUR PRIORITY LIST".
////////////////////////////////
How about "zero tolerance" for gang bangers dealing drugs because this behavior leads to guns, batteries, killings, intimidation, and a slew of felonies, such as theft, tax evasion, money laundering, etc....the list goes on.
Why would you say that this (gangs dealing drugs)is not a priority?
Quit your bitching you over-time whores......must be nice....nicer if McCain won...
All this police protection for a guy who loathes the police and the military. Remember, just a few weeks ago he did not want to be seen with police officers and demanded that they stand behind a bus before he exited.
Don't forget that Barack Obama still has not submitted his birth certificate as required to run for President of the US. This still continues to be deliberately downplayed by the media and anyone who brings this up is labeled a racist. Obama is rumored NOT to be a naturalized US citizen and there is no record of birth of him in Hawaii. Shame on the democratic party for allowing this to happen and for conspiring to deceive the citizens of this country.

Now I know how GENERAL CUSTER felt.
To the newer guys:
Came on the job in 1970 and was never involved in any riots thankfully, mostly due to lucky furlo picks. One thing that was stressed while we were in the academy in the aftermath of the 60s was to never wade into the crowd alone to go after someone. You will be overpowered and stripped of your weapon(s) very quickly and then be lucky to escape unharmed. Hold the line and watch your comrades on each side.
In this day and age, most of all, use common sense.
You are obviously one of the slugs.
slugs? I was part of a 10-1 hit and run accident that almost killed 2 POs.. I am on permanent disability now and will never walk right again! FUCK YOU I agree that there are NUMEROUS medical abusers on this job... however, the medical staff at Northwestern and the RIC have been nothing short of SUPERB! Some of you fucks just dont get it... This job tried with all it could to fuck me out of disability... The only guy who stood up for me was Steve Robbins... (you lost a good one by the way) This city this job will fuck you so fast you hair gel go getters have no idea! But to call guys like me who gave nearly everything AND I MEAN EVERYTHING JUNIOR a slug is down right disrespectful!!! Im on a fixed income and once a year the city makes a case to freeze my payments... a term I hope none of you ever live to hear.. fuck this city and fuck you, whoever you are!
better hope 021 district tac team does not show up! They BLOW (each other)!!!
This is So true.......They fuckin suck

That is a real ignorant comment to make. While SOS was up and running, I worked my ass off on a beat car on the east end of 8 getting (no lie) at least 7 or 8 jobs the second that I logged on and would continue to get stacked with more jobs the second I would clear. Most of us did our job to the best of our ability and made arrests daily. Just because you may have made more felony arrests on a monthly basis doesn't mean that you kept the crime down in Chicago. That was a group effort of all of the working police in Chicago who did their job just like you everyday.
We did all the real police work, not the bs you beat cars did... sorry, I can't wait to start up at MSF and pick up where I left off, especially since they said they have our backs again... ex-153 ranger glad to be back...

Although I do enjoy the blog and I don't always agree with a lot of the comments I must say that I am sick to the stomach from reading these comments. Why is it such a bad thing that we are about to elect an African American President of the United States. News Flash people, he won't be any worse than all of the Presidents before him. I have read for days now about how the south and west sides will blow up and burn down if Obama wins or looses. NOT TRUE. Believe it or not there was way more outwardly support and excitment when Bill Clinton was about to be elected the first term. Lastly I say wake up officers, it is not people of the same color as Obama who will be the majority that vote him in, it will be the people who are the same color as the whinning ass officers on this blog that will overwhelmingly elect OBAMA as President of the United States.
Det Shaved go back to the film unit and stop bitchin'. Oh thats right, you blew that too.

Someone posted that business from Michigan about how Obama hates people in uniform. If that is true that is probably one reason Shortshanks will not call Blago for the National Guard.
Stay safe, this is likely to be the biggest battle of our careers.

Another reason might be the National Guard is in Iraq bringing democracy to them lost souls.
City is not allowing P.O.s to vote.
The mayor in collusion with j-pud have reasoned that a majority of CPD members are not Democrats.
The 12 hour working schedule is in effect to cancel their voting at their home polls on election day.
What a great rumor.

On 2 Nov 08 @ 5:00 PM I will be on Chicago radio talking about the planed Election Day Obama Insurrection at Grant Park. The plan for 1 million Obama supporters would be nothing short of a recipe for a disaster of historic proportions.
I’m going to talk about the lack of a contract, impossible working conditions, low morale and the shortage of officers. How the undue influence of Chicago’s reverends being allowed to overly departmental policy will also be a topic.
For those officers stuck at Grant Park , you will be in my prayers…

I am old crafty veteran and will be with another crafty old veteran. We will be somewhere safe and dry and with hot coffee and food, you can count on it. Fuck a bunch of Obama idiots. Hell if I am getting hurt among a bunch of fools. Unless, of course, I develop the flu before then. Might happen you know. I haven't been feeling well.
what if i'm on furlough and my last 2 days happen to be rdo's for me, should i be looking for a phone call soon to come in?
10/29/2008 11:13:00 AM

So, you filled out your furlough form, you indicated your return-to-duty date as the day after your days off and you ARE OUT OF TOWN AND NOT NEAR YOUR PHONE (THE ONE INDICATED ON DEPARTMENT RECORDS).
Hmmm, I guess you can't be reached and won't be expected to be at work. How hard is this concept???
To everyone who asked me last year, "Why would you want an 11B furlough when you can get something better?": HA!!!!
this is going to be a King moment in time, expect well over 1 million people on election night. 1 million from chicago alone, ticket wont matter. milwaukee. indy st louis, way over 1 million.
Call the FOP they have the K9 scores
By law you get 2 hours to vote
hey, 08:50
Yeah, word is that ILEAS is onboard along with NIPAS. Not just the border towns but PD's from all over the collar counties. Plans are being worked out now. It would certainly be a needed reality check for our hair gel type police, too.
Your honor students are drifting out to our areas, no doubt seeking fine educational opportunities with which to finish their GED's, get into medical school and turn their life around (for the sake of the 6 kids)as a rappin' MD.
If you need us, you won't be alone. Show us around the sandbox and we'll come out and play.
The next week will be challenging, either way.

Calhoun County Sheriff's Department in Michigan "FUCK W/ CHICAGO COPPERS".
Do not go to Michigan, Calhoun County. They recently locked up a Chicago Copper and held the copper in lockup for 20 hrs. These guys are total jagoffs. If you stop them here in Chicago give them some serious payback.

Forecast: Great weather for Election Day, rally
October 29, 2008 at 3:20 PM | Comments (0)
Chicago's mildest Election Day in 44 years is predicted for next Tuesday. Partly sunny, windy and mild weather Tuesday. A high of 68-degrees--the mildest Election Day temperature since the 75-degree high here on Election Day (November 3) in 1964.
Clouds increase Tuesday evening and night, gusty south/southwest winds and mild temperatures. Current indications--subject to update--are that showers advancing through Iowa Tuesday night may wait until after the rally to reach Grant Park.
The progress of those showers will have to be monitored and we will update this forecast regularly in coming days.
--Tom Skilling, Chief Meteorologist, WGN/Chicago Tribune
It's starting already. On a traffic stop the f/1 lady says, "If Obama was in office already you'd be treatin' me a lot diff'rently awfice!" Here we go... they're looking for him to be the saviour. Watch your backs in Grant Park and wish us luck manning the ghetto. 79th from the lake to Burbank will more than likely be up for grabs...moreso than usual.
This is ridiculous why do I have to work the election. I am getting dumped next period from the tactical team in the 019 district two days after the election! I wonder if I should just hit the medical? again. They already denied me time due! I hate this job! I can't wait to go back to the watch.
Dear Friends,The John McCain campaign is hosting their victory party at the Chicago Hilton, 720 South Michigan Ave, directly across the street from the Obama election party in Grant Park. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and we will be there for the duration. There is an after hours party being held later that night, so we will be there for the duration. All Chicago Police Officers and Firemen working the park (and off duty, too) are welcomed to stop by our victory party and have a cup of coffee, bite to eat or just to warm up and rest. There will be televisions and well behaved supporters. We thank you for your hard work and your efforts to make this night safe and enjoyable. Be safe. Hope to see you election night. Thank you and God bless America,The John McCain CampaignIllinois Young RepublicansIllinois Republican PartyDem McCrats for McCain10/29/2008 05:36:00 AMDude,You might want to move that celebration to the suburbs.If Barry loses,which I predict he will,YOU are at Ground Zero.Your party will be destination #1 for the sore losers.
*********
We had the Hilton booked for months prior to Obama's campaign. And since we've stood by the campaign finance agreement that Sen. McCain signed, unlike Barack, we just can't back out of a signed contract with Hilton.
However, I feel very confident after speaking with the Chicago police officer assigned to deal with us.
As I stated before, MOS are welcome to stop in, grab a cup of coffee, warm up, use the restrooms and just hang out.
Again, thank you for your efforts.
God bless and Country First,
The John McCain Campaign and Democrats for McCain.
P.S. A big thanks goes out to the Hillary Voters for McCain. It was with their instrumental help that we able to finance such a safe and fun celebration.

If you actually read the blog you would know that no one cares that he's black, only that he's a Chicago bred democrat and as liberal as they come.
Criticism does not equal bigotry or intolerance, which ironically the left always accuses the right of. It's amazing how intolerant liberals become when someone disagrees with them.
By the way, run spell check if you're going to try to sound intellectual.
To the poster who wrote:
"I have read for days now about how the south and west sides will blow up and burn down if Obama wins or looses. NOT TRUE."
Honey, what rose colored glasses are you viewing life from? I have worked every Bulls "victory celebration" being deployed back and forth to the south and west sides responding to 10-1 calls on each occasion.
If Mr. Obama, the Reverends, celebrity supporters such as Oprah really want to impress upon the rest of the Country their commitment to change, they should be airing public service announcements from now until the end of the election stressing the need for responsible celebration or defeat, whichever may be the case.
Michigan coppers are always great to me. I have a second home in a nice quiet town. I often invite other coppers up for a weekend and if they get stopped, they always get a pass. Illinois, especially Chicago, has had good rapport with Michigan coppers forever. Not a bit like Wisconsin.
Check the money box on the 4th & the 5th and remember cameras are everywhere dying to get the first raised police baton...

This city is fucked...

How did this banger get on? We're only hiring a handful of people and we have to accept this POS. Who's his clout? Maybe he'll be assigned somewhere where he'll have access to P.O's personal files. Get rid of this POS while it's still possible, that is, if it can be verified that he is, and was, the ENEMY.

RESPONSE: Dude, unfortunately - their are lots of gang bangers and dope dealers on this job. look at the old 7th district tact team from several years back or how about all those public housing mother fucka's, some in the duce and the tird, i mean third district too.

There won't be toilets there because he can't put them on top of a police memorial there.
Ha! To the poster, 10/29/2008 10:44:00 PM, You're an ass hat! Do you read? Has very little if anything to do with him being African American (which by the way he's half caucasian anyways..his black dad left him when he was young)but rather has more to do with his policy. Did you know that he associates KNOWINGLY with a guy who attempted to nail bomb police stations? Ya know the Haymarket Riot statue in the courtyard of the academy? It's there because when it was out in the open Ayers group blew chunks of it onto the Kennedy Expressway back in the early 70s. Sure, Hussein was only 8 when it happened, but how can someone who KNOWINGLY associates with terrorist fight terrorism? And who says we're "about to elect" him?? The margin is narrowing right now for him. The south and west sides will definitely blow up. Those communities feel like if he wins there will be entitlement as if he's the messiah. He's not the second coming. He loves hearing himself talk and he's egocentric, arrogant, and inexperienced. Heaven help us if he gets elected. The low income areas (ghetto) will riot either way. Just look at when the Bulls WON. Couldn't contain themselves then...times are worse, I can see them totally losing their shit if he wins or loses. Get ready, it's a comin'.

evidence? don't try and tarnish anyone's name without justification. Being on the receiving end of bullshit rumors totally sucks and most po's who have been there will say the same.
WTF! A little off topic but they switched starting times for Halloween, if you were days you're nights now (tact and gangs) but the order is dated 09 October and we get it today?! Did someone just forget to pass this thing out? What if you're planning to be with your kids?
Well they did change the day tac and gang to nights so apparently it is happening in a few places

Yeah sarge, (cough, cough) ya gotta put me on the medical.
Are they canceling days off for MY particular group (of one?) I'm on the first watch, furlo days off, blah blah blah.
Pump up my check. O.T. - time and a half, "double time and a half??"
But I don't want to get involved in protecting this evil city, run by fools and carpetbaggers.
Listen Up kiddies! You are not protecting the city, da mayor, the gel head with the kitties. You are there to protect EACH OTHER.
Everyone who hits the medical, or wimps out another way is abandoning his brethren. It is your duty, and should be your honor.
Sounds a lot like the whiners would really rather go watch Celine perform her narcissistic b.s. and have a white wine than earn the rather generous paycheck and bennies.
Ruck up.
Does anyone on CPD have any idea what ILEAS or NIPAS MFF is?????

There is no way Obama can go on television and tell his followers to celebrate responsibly.
By doing so, he is admitting they are the low-lifes that they are. He will not do that.

Well don't take pictures with your gangster friends while representing. Also it helps of said friends don't reside in the district you patrol. I think your attitude goes a long way. Short of anyone having a gang bullshit tattooed on their body, why would anyone assume your a gangster unless your actions
led them to that conclusion.
stop being a misty eyed bitch either way. you made your bed, lay in it.
Seriously, bring masking tape and tape x's on the inside and outside of every window on your squad. This prevents the glass chards (sp?) from hitting you when the celebrants start throwing shit and break the windows. Also, if you know any viet nam Veterans, try to get them to give you their large canisters of tear gas, they look like small fire extinguishers. If you get stuck on a footpost, stay as far from the buildings as possible (during the bulls celebration/riots, several PO's were injured when the celebrants literally smashed them agianst buildings and in some cases through store windows). Get ready to be shot at, try not to stay still. I am not an alarmist, but I have a bad gut feeling about this celebration, I truly hope I am wrong. Stay safe, I am praying for us.
I'd like to comment on the little anonymous blogger talking about "Danny Boy."
If i call a 10-1, send me Dan to back me up. Not some little chicken like you hiding behind words. It's chickens like you that give 018 guys a cry-baby reputation. Send me that 6'04 giant to back me up. He's a beast with a cool head.
I've worked in 018 on his watch for the last three years, and he's one of the most solid men you'll ever meet. It's a shame knowing that this little cry baby is someone that probably has never even met him.
****REMEMBER**** VERY IMPORTANT!!!
Get your 30 minute lunch in on election day. If you can't drop a slip!!! LOL!!!
I don't give a shite about Obama's polital leanings in the 70's! They're worse now! He's Daley's bitch! Jaysus can you just see it? The entire country (in reality being) run by this leprechaun midget rat-bastard and his bald, hitlaric brother. He's not his father's son. Not by any stretch of the imagination. In fact I think he's doing it on purpose, to get back at the old man for some perceived slight.
How come we ran Dave Sneethan for mayor when we had the chance?
I will grant you the fact that BS is a goof, but the guys on his team are the biggest dogs, cry babys on this job. Most of then should not even be on this job, let alone on a tact team. They bitch the entire time at roll call.
If they dumped BS, then they should down the whole team. ED will cry all day and night. I can't wait.
BS is a tool, but his tact team is a joke. Please dump all of them to the watch and take people that work. Take the top coppers from 3rd Watch.
