Olympic Dream Isn't Touched
But everything else? Fair game evidently:
- Mayor Richard Daley is considering increased taxes on downtown parking and tickets to ballgames and live shows and more red light cameras to catch traffic scofflaws as he tries to balance an out-of-whack city budget.
So what happens when people start taking public transit to games, taxis to downtown events and start obeying traffic laws? It's happening right now as we type - Chicagoans are altering their behavior to deny the City fees and fines.
Mayor Daley said Friday he will consolidate city departments that handle consumer issues, human services, economic development and business affairs to tighten the bureaucratic belt during Chicago’s worst budget crisis in a generation.
The consolidations will save $5 million. That’s barely a drop in the $420 million sea of red ink that’s forcing the mayor to lay off 1,080 city workers and eliminate thousands of vacancies.
Wow, 1% of the budget shortfall reduced by eliminating redundant bureaucracies! Daley has almost balanced the budget! Wait until the pink slips start hitting - we got a letter from someone who seems to know quite a bit of the inner workings of City government and they're talking about special security details being set up for the heads of Departments that are about to lay off a few hundred people.
We're sure Daley is looking at all the options for jettisoning dead weight, right?

- The Chronicles of Pool Boy continue with news of a stupendous Chicago political miracle.
Commonwealth Edison said late Thursday that its investigation revealed that the matter of Dave "Pool Boy" Ochal and the Generator X fiasco has been resolved to its satisfaction. There was no clout involved. It was all a series of rather amazing coincidences.
Things just happen sometimes.
Especially if you run a small cog attached to the Machine.

Preparations for Obama Victory Riot kicking into high gear. Lots of OT for all!
THEN CAN LAYOFF THE HEAD OF THE ACADEMY BEFORE CPD GETS EMBARRASED AGAIN, AND IT IS COMING SOON AND ITS NOT A RUMOR.
O.T. City is a joke so here is one.
A little boy goes to his dad and asks, 'What is Politics?'
Dad says, 'Well son, let me try to explain it this way:
I am the head of the family , so call me The President.
Your mother is the administrator of the money, so! we call her the Government.
We are here to take care of your needs, so we will call you
the People.
The nanny, we will consider her the Working Class.
And your baby brother, we will call him the Future.
Now think about that and see if it makes sense.
S o the little boy! Goes off to bed thinking about what Dad has said. Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him. He finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper. So the little boy goes to his parents' room and finds his mother asleep. Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny's room Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny. He gives up and goes back t o bed.
The next morning, the little boy says to his father, 'Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now.' The father says, 'Good, son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about.
The little boy replies,
The President is screwing the Working Class while the Government is sound asleep.
The People are being ignored and the
Future is in deep shit.
Isn't it so sad the mayor destroyed Meigs Field just before he could have sold it for big corporate bucks, to plug the hole in the budget. I guess he knows what's best for the city, because he's always looking out for our best interests. I, for one, will continue to vote the party line. "All Hail Dick...All Hail Dick...."
Its a mistake, a misunderstanding, this is just plain ol silly silly silly....its all common sense.
All that the Lunatic Shortshanks does is set one trap after another to try to catch honest taxpayers, to squeeze every penny he can out of them while the usual Deadbeats pay little or nothing. We the Taxpayers, are technically HIS boss, not the other way around. This city is like a fishing pond, and the smelly little Catfish Shortshanks has the rod, reel,bait and net, and is actually catching the fishermen, instead of the other way around.
1 to go and counting.......
I'm looking at the FOP endorsements in the latest newsletter and I'm perplexed. Mike Madigan's childish bickering with the Governor caused none of our legislation to pass this year (that includes legislation for disabled POs but, the FOP never tries very hard there anyway) yet the FOP endorses him. Greg Bella writes a column about how the State's Attorney's office discriminates against the police yet the FOP endorses Anita Alvarez, a member of that office, for State's Attorney. Dick Durbin compares our troops to Nazis and the FOP endorses him. If any FOP member who served in uniform endorsed him they have now sold out all of their self respect. Is there even one testicle in that organization?

HOW CAN THE FOP ENDORSE DANNY DAVIS AFTER THE LIES HE MADE UP AGAINST 2 10TH DIST PO. DAVIS GOT ON THE NEWS AND LIED ABOUT 2 OF OURS AND THEN THE SISSYS AT THE FOP ENDORSE HIM. MARK DONAHUE YOU ARE A GUTLESS COWARD.
the little emperor is almost sure to commit suicide if we don't get the olympics. him and his band of thieves will get rich on the taxpayers backs if the ioc awards the 2016 olympic bid to chicago. coming in 2016 will be two new events, drive by shooting and purse snatching. with a talent pool as deep as we have, i'm sure we will win the gold.

Stuttering prick could still do it but I think he makes more on the City's take of concerts and rentals to corporations for private events.
And the Lt. out there at the Park District would howl at the loss of OT if the events and concerts dried up.
He was slated for dumping immediately after the July 3/Taste of Chicago fiasco. His replacement was named and it was all set.
Then the bad tempered bow legged cockeyed little Lt. made his million dollar phone call and what do you know, he is still out there safeguarding and liaising with the Park District. And raking in the dough.
Seems like Daley has finally told J-Fed to be careful to what he says to the reporters.
Still, Weis downplayed recent reports that the department is short hundreds of officers due to city budget constraints, saying that there were still enough officers to patrol Chicago streets.
"Even with the vacancies we have right now, about 350, that is slightly under a 2.5 percent vacancy rate," Weis said. "For most organizations, if you're at 97 1/2 percent strength, you're in pretty good shape."
"We have more than enough officers to combat crime in the city," Weis said.

Stay Safe, A wife
There's all this talk about the unexpected budget shortfall. It seems that whomever is the person in charge of the budget should be the one jettisoned. Why? Because year after year when our contract comes up for negotiation, the budget is declared bankrupt. Obviously the city needs another financial director. This is shoddy work.
Sgt JE and LT JB have allegedly flipped to the Feds...Goodbye,MT..
JFRAUD is admitting the city is short 350 officers now slowly he is inching up closer to the real number he must be afraid that the real shortage of police is going to become public.
Top cop: Officers can't stop all violence
October 10, 2008 at 10:30 PM | Comments (0)
Appearing tonight at a roll call for police officers across the street from where 17-year-old Kiyanna Salter was killed on a CTA bus Sunday night, Supt. Jody Weis said the incident would have been difficult to prevent.
Standing on the corner of 71st Street and Cottage Grove Avenue in the flickering spotlight of an overhead police helicopter, Weis thanked about 75 Grand Crossing District officers for their hard work patrolling the area where Salter was killed.
But in comments to reporters after the roll call, Weis said that the Police Department did not have enough officers to protect every CTA bus and train from violence.
"Those [crimes] are almost impossible to stop unless you have an officer or two on every bus," Weis said. "And we don't have the resources to do that."
Still, Weis downplayed recent reports that the department is short hundreds of officers due to city budget constraints, saying that there were still enough officers to patrol Chicago streets.
"Even with the vacancies we have right now, about 350, that is slightly under a 2.5 percent vacancy rate," Weis said. "For most organizations, if you're at 97 1/2 percent strength, you're in pretty good shape."

If he is so serious about the budget why don't we start a new pilot program by droping our number of alderman lets say i don't know by half have one alderman for every police district how much would that save us??? anyone got the #'s
Another deadly start to the weekend. Do your job and stay safe. Wait for the proper back up and go home to see your family. None of the BS in this city is worth getting hurt over. Daley is throwing streets and san to the wolves so dont give them an excuse to screw you. Get an RD# for every call and take your time writing a report. Let them be backlogged all day and night.

Everyone thinks that bella is a hero, get the clue people he is one of donogughs clan, just another yes man! alvarez is a pos, another reason for a Perica vote!
Why don't cpd dump 1/2 of gold badges as they are not worth the big wasted salaries, how about the husband wife teams, amking 300K combined! why does j-fed has 50% less responsibility and still get the same salary? Why does the mayor have a fleet of new cars hidden in the garage on 37th and normal?
Why not combune the city clerks and revenue dept, they duplicate the same jobs, why does the city clerks office have an "investigative" unit that just writes tickets at big salaries? more bullshit!
Why not have 20 aldermen? I call 311 for service and it gets done why do we even need any? Why commanders another waste? why all the free take home cars in many units? come on mayor! What about fire dept., work what 80 days a year if that, but same pay another waste!
I am proud to announce that I have just purchased a new house 30 miles from the CROOK COUNTY borders
and in 3 months I will be living there permanently.Hang in there,and be safe your day will come.

Check your facts, big guy. All of his personnel requests are filled, he is developing new programs for the department. Academy has new equipment. Does not sound like a person about to be launched. He has new, innovative ideas and is supported by 35th street. Sorry to bust your bubble.
i agree with the one post...the mayor keeps squeezing the tax payers and regular joes...while the loafers and illegals pay little or nothing. he d rather stick it to the workingman that ask these dogs to do their share.. thats why this place is fast becoming detroit 2.
Two and a half BILLION for
Midway Airport, and 90% must be spent on infra-structure, and a pitance on pensions.
Well infra-structure, like more flower boxes, iron fences and buying Olympic venues.

SCC, I thought this would be an interesting program the could draw some light to some people that may be on the fence regarding the upcoming presidential election.
This Sunday @ 2000 hrs. (8pm to the non police) on FOX's HANNITY & COLMES ~ FOX NEWS, is going to air a documentary about Obama.
HANNITY is going back to Obama's earlier days...SHOWING EVEN THEN HIS TIES TO RADICAL PROFESSORS, FRIENDS, SPIRITUAL ADVISERS, Etc., HE STATED THIS EVENING THAT HE WILL SHOW IN DETAIL HIS TIES TO REV. WRIGHT FOR 20+ YRS (which we all know).
WE WILL SEE THINGS THAT NO ONE IN THE MEDIA IS WILLING TO PUT OUT THERE. THIS WILL BE A NIGHT THAT YOU WILL FIND OUT MORE ABOUT OBAMA THAN EVER BEFORE.
what happened to the POS"s shooting at each other in 016 a few days ago?? It was in a shopping strip-Jewel,,etc..Rumor has they were RWOC...any truth?? anyone know what happened??
Next power outage I am calling ComEd for my generator ..I just say shortshanks sent me
i've been on for 4 years. never have voted in any of the elections. but today I mailed in the pension ballot. Voted for Mike Shields for the trustee position. Love that Hubberman video. Have a nice day and enjoy the nice week of weather. If you can get it take a comp day and relax, spend time with the family, do whatever.
FOP should not even be allowed to give any Endorsements to any Candidates. They should concentrate more on representing US Only, and make no handshake deals for endorsements. As I see it, NONE of the Candidates endorsed by the Chicago FOP has ever done one F*%kin thing for me, or my family, brother and sister officers, except to raise my taxes and vote to put more estrictions on my CPD family, as we try to do our jobs under all but Impossible conditions. FOP, keep your nose out of political endorsements, I'll make up my own mind WHO and WHAT I'll vote for. So kindly BUTT-OUT...
"Is there even one testicle in that organization?

Your question should be:
Are there any brain cells that work in the skulls of the membership?
Hey Daley....Touch this!!
Increase the fines on crimes commited in Chicago since nobody serves any jail time for all Misdemeanors and barely any felonys, why not generate money by increased fines.
Jody was just on the news last night saying he thinks officers are not being as aggressive as they should be. He stated he's got our back and we should work.
Um excuse cornhole. we don't have a contract "again", we're short thousands of officers and you're head hunting trying to fire every officer that sneezes so fuck you. I'm answering my calls for service but thats it. I'm done being proactive and coming up with my own shit...
Will the Obama Victory be even a bigger win for Chicago and Illinois?
You Bet.
Federal Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald will be "History".
They will think of some "More Important Task" to get him the heck out of this city and state.
The mayor the governor and even our new president,can breath easy again. Tony, may see a pardon in a couple of years. Hang tight Tony we love you, and all the great work you have done for us.

"Greg Bella writes a column about how the State's Attorney's office discriminates against the police yet the FOP endorses Anita Alvarez, a member of that office, for State's Attorney."
Perhaps because when Greg was the working police in 014 many moons ago, he knew that one of the best pro-police, gang prosecutors out there was a then unknown named Anita Alvarez.

I don't believe its possible for a credit card. However, I do know this. You will be hit with large penalty charges if you do and the money must be paid back immediately.

Hey Shields how come you dont have any P.O.s from the southside on your committee. Or yea you work in 019 after you chickened out of 011. Gone but not forgotten in "the Wood".
How can the mayor and his machine NOT be sent to be prison!
Lets talk fiscal responsibilty...leasing Midway International Airport for a sum of 2.5 billion dollars over 99 years!
I was curious as to what Midway brought the city yearly as far as revenue and found this....
"Midway Airport is important to the regional economy because it provides $2.8bn of annual personal income and nearly 50,000 jobs in the local area"
This was after "WE" sponsered:
"Order year 1997
Project Type Airport
expansion Location Chicago
Estimated Investment $722m
Completion 2004 Sponsor City of Chicago Aviation Department Financing J P Morgan"
Thats right $722 million dollars in city bonds.
So, let me get this straight....we as tax payers have recently put $722 million dollars into expanding and improving Miday airport. Midway brings in $2.8 billion dollars annually... which over 99 years would equal around $277 BILLION dollars.
Sooooooooooo....we are giving up $277 Billion plus the $770 million already invested for a puny $2.5 Billion dollars, which comes out to roughly $25 million dollars each year from the next 99 years.
You just have to love Daley and Chicago politics!
Not to mention I garauntee that not a penny of that money sees our pension funds...which was his entire premise for the lease in the first place!
Remember to VOTE NO for changing the IL constitution or we WONT have a pension!

10/11/2008 04:24:00 PM
It is impossible. The ONLY way you can get funds out of there, other than resigning, retiring or dying, is to suffer a sudden and unexpected financial catastrophe. Credit card bills or bills of any kind do not count, no matter how severe. they will tell you to see a bankruptcy attorney.
An example of a circumstance that might lead them to consider a request for funds: a catastrophic illness that exhausts all your health insurance, a catastrophe that leaves you disabled and unable to earn.
Credit card bills will not do it. Mortgage will not do it, foreclosure will not do it. Call them up and they will tell you. The criteria are "sudden, unforeseen and/or catastrophic."

Ladies and germs...you dont want 2016??? read on
"addition to the revenue-sharing plan, the 71-year-old chairman asserted that the only way for Olympic revenues to increase over the next several years is for the 2016 Games to go to Chicago. He said every time the Olympics have come to America, revenues have gone up, the logic being that the big-money underwriters of the games -- American advertisers and NBC -- will pay more for an Olympics in their backyard."
For you blind old timers "EVERY TIME THE OLYMPICS HAVE COME TO AMERICA, REVENUES HAVE GONE UP!" So EAT THAT YOU ASSHAT TROLLS!
From old retired guy
Google " orange county 457 plan"
From what I can gather from that news report, the county was using the money for investments instead of pouring it into the accounts. The investments went bad. Generally, the police , fire and municipal employees stand to lose 10 to 20 percent of their money.
How long does the city keep the money before turning it over to Pebsco ( nationwide). It is a good question to ask.
The money turns over to the participant when they retire ( like me);
old retired guy
You should be very concerned about the pension and deferred comp. The pension questions should be answered by the reps ( and they are not)
107 million in CDOs- what a joke.

So the FOP is endorsing Dick Durbin? I might be wrong on this, but I thought I heard that he wouldn't write a letter on Mette's behalf when he was asked to. If that's true, then I've said enough. And as far as backing Danny Davis for alderman??? WTF? An FOP that backs ANY west side alderman is not an FOP that has our best interest in mind. All these west side glorified gang-bangers with a title do is bitch about the police and then demand security for their "family BBQ's" and "graduation parties". I know none of these revelations are startling, but I just had to vent.
Daley is going to finance the olympics using the last major source of cash available - the 4 big city pension funds. We're in trouble. We need someone who is unafraid to say no to this BS. Michael Shields.

That ain't the half of it. They only endorsed those three because they are going to win, not because they stand for anything we might like or agree with. Think that's a joke, how about the Pension Fund endorsement of Steve Robbins? He's a fool. Then you have the disgruntled former FOP upstairs guy Caparelli. He's still a board member, so why is Mr. Lazy running against FOP-backed Robbins? Screw the FOP. Vote Shields. I did. We need some new blood.

here were over 150 clown sightings in the city yesterday. What is going on is Homey the Clown back in the city?
Clowns, clowns, clowns every where.
"For you blind old timers "EVERY TIME THE OLYMPICS HAVE COME TO AMERICA, REVENUES HAVE GONE UP!" So EAT THAT YOU ASSHAT TROLLS!
10/11/2008 08:43:00 PM"
For you dumb, young puppies, that means revenues for the OLYMPICS, not for the hosting city.

_______________________________
That's what comes from believing what you read in the papers. 10:08 is dead right.
The only Olympics to be profitable for the hosting city in recent memory is Madrid. And Madrid put a huge effort into planning for the use of the Olympic venues, dorms and bulldozed neighborhoods long BEFORE they ever GOT the Olympics.
The only advance planning Daley is doing is the champagne toast for the night of the announcement.
We'll be left paying the horrendous debt for a decade or two. I'm SO looking forward to THAT.
Was sent to the Country Western music fest at Soldier's Feild.
No enterance fee no riots no fights no shitheads.....no surprise.
Hey Shields how come you dont have any P.O.s from the southside on your committee. Or yea you work in 019 after you chickened out of 011. Gone but not forgotten in "the Wood".
Wouldn't you want to get out 011 as fast as you could?!
I guess common sense isn't that common...
Preparations for Obama Victory Riot kicking into high gear. Lots of OT for all!
10/11/2008 12:06:00 AM
sorry, i'm voting for obama, it'll be a cold day in hell before i vote for mccain and have palin in the white house with him. not going to happen. she's a major turn off (politically).
Here is the cheapest way to solve the shortage. Hire back the police to work their day off at time and a half, because it is cheaper to ay time and a half than it is to hire no employees. Why? Because we are already insured and have all our benefits so the City still saves, at time and a half 50 percent. It is very simple, the problem, manpower shortages, the solution read the above.
Greg Bella is not what we need we need a leader who does not constantly shoot from the hip, but picks his battles and understands everyone.
Olympics bring revenue?
Shift of wealth. They raise taxes from those that can ill afford it. Real estate for the middle class and sales tax for everyone. These taxes are used for the Olympics. The revenue from the Olympics are then shared by the city , businesses and financial institutions. What does that do for those that paid for them?
Genuises, if you're all so fucking smart, how come you're still the police?

It will be an even colder day in hell before I ever vote for a corrupt Chicago politician picked and supported and nurtured by other corrupt Chicago, Cook County and Illinois politicians.
And don't ever forget the crowd of savages Obama has surrounded himself with these past 20 years, the likes of Rev Wright.

Can you please stop saying "shortshanks?" It's so 19th Century.
10/11/2008 07:14:00 PM
But it fits so well. And it is not 19th Century at all, not even close.
You need to brush up on your English history there young'un. It is an adaptation of the term Longshanks, aka King Edward I of England (1239 – 1307) who was 6 feet 2 inches, very tall for the time, hence Longshanks. The current Mayor of Chicago is rather diminutive of stature, hence the popular sobriquet Shortshanks.
That would make it so late 13th-early 14th century. Do your research.
What would you prefer? Stuttering prick? Mayor Mumbles?
I kind of like "Convicted felon and former Mayor Richard M Daley"
I agree. Standards have changed. bridge week, tougher physical standards and more discipline. Push hard and watch them break. Show no weakness, only the best survive. If injured, tough love. By the way, the new BVD uniforms are hot!
10/11/2008 11:07:00 PM
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^You mean discipline as in PHYSICAL DISCIPLINE because there is no other type of discipline there!
The ego's of some of the instructors during bridge week was beyond belief! Taking their frustrations out on recruits is uncalled for.
And if the administration thinks that the critiques tell that the recruits liked it = well your wrong!
The recruits/PPO's, 8-1 class, all got together and decided to write good things so that the recruits that haven't gone through it will SUFFER AS THEY DID.
FYI - Maybe when you implement a new program into the curriculum, the supervisors and instructors should go through it first to see if it will work and it is not going to be a death sentence for some recruit!
Who on this job works for four straight days 10 hour days with switching early and late start times? Who on this job does not speak? Who on this job works out and gets 5 minutes to shower? Some of this was so out of line, who on this jobs runs for an hour straight? Who on this job after clearing a room has the offenders go back in that room and hide again? Who on this job when they cannot complete the above or is the slowest one to complete the above gets diciplined by doing more PT?
The new standard at the Academy is:
PUSH HARD AND WATCH THEM BREAK! Show no weakness, only the best survive.
If injured, tough love.
sorry, i'm voting for obama, it'll be a cold day in hell before i vote for mccain and have palin in the white house with him. not going to happen. she's a major turn off (politically).
10/12/2008 01:57:00 AM
If she is a major turn off politically, how does Obama turn you on?
If any of the Obamaphiles can mathematically answer how he's going to spend the over 300 BILLION he has proposed in government initiatives (socialist programs) while holding or reducing taxes fro 95% of Americans as he proclaims, I will change my vote.
Otherwise, I'm sticking to facts rather than personality contests and voting the right way, MCCain-Palin!
Take as much of your business outside of the City and Crook County as possible.
To 10/12 1:57 AM
Oh I guess Obama is a much better choice---OBAMA associates with Wright, a big time racist, Obama has numerous business transactions with an unrepentantive terrorist, he tried to get sex education in our schools for our preschool and kindergarten age children, he refuses to salute the flag, Obama voted AGAINST English as the primary language spoke in our country! Need I say more, why McCain is the better choice!!!

Not ture. The 1984 Olympics held in Los Angeles were the last games to make more money then the money spent to hold them.
shootout at irving and naragansett the other day on second watch. bad dope deal that started in skokie. gun found on roof of restaurant. two in custody. restaurant shot full of holes. heard this second hand so may be inaccurate.
Please share!!!! What did adam do now? Tell me he stepped in a pile of shit and he fell into it chin deep!!

Hey dog ass...if you don't quite have the time to get the airport or mass transit, then make some fucking FELONY ARRESTS and GO TO COURT. YOu won't find many working police there now, so get busy, and quit your whining!!
If you endorse a person for an office who has no chance of winning you shot yourself in the foot. Durbin is a piece of shit.(Nazi comments). But he is going to elected with or without us. The social security bill is going to pass out of the house of representative with a filibuster proof majority. The senate usually does not jump on bills like this until they pass out of the house. We are going to need this tird to pass the bill. They are holding their noses on more than one of the endoesments for those types of reasons.
T.R.P.
I voted for Mike Shields today!!
10/11/2008 07:01:00 PM
I didnt I voted for Robbins you know, the guy with experience The guy with more than a week on the job! I voted for ROBBINS
-----
I voted for M. Shield's too! You sir are a goof voting for FOP Endorsements. FOP hasn't done S#@T for the men in blue or even come close to settling our contract. We need new blood fighting for us not sell outs for DALEY,ALVAREZ and that GOOF DAVIS!

Sometimes you have to do something just because it's the right thing to do and not because you personally benefit from it. Durban's comments disqualify him. If you vote for him it brings you down to his level. The FOP endorsement is a disgrace. Anyone there who wore the uniform of this country and voted to endorse him is truly a weak weak person and a disgrace to that uniform. And those that work there are not any better. For all we know Dr. Steve Sauerberg supports the SS bill. FYI the house does not have a filibuster. No, the FOP did the wrong thing. They sold themselves and us out to secure their post-FOP jobs. I don't know how they can look at themselves in the mirror after this. Isn't there a military writer in the FOP Bulletin? Why hasn't he commented on this. Is there no shame?

I vote Mayor Mumbles......

Hey 8:39 am....quit your fucking crying! That is how it was when I was in the academy...before they went soft. If you can't stand being yelled at, pushed to your limits both physically and mentally and have people "take out their frustrations" on you then find another job cuz we don't need you. Welcome to police work you moron. Wait until your first fight on the street when you think you have the first guy under control and then the whole block comes out for round 2. Wait until you start making arrests, staying late and then have to be in court at 9 am. Wait until you have a foot chase at the start of your tour and then have to work another 7 hours in your sweaty, dirty torn up uniform without a shower. This is part of the reason that morale is so low. These new recruits are so soft it's sickening. If you can't handle the fucking academy, go get a job working with the Obama campaign. At the very least, please quit now before you get someone killed.
DETROIT HERE WE COME!!!! Thanks Mayor..
Agree about CA olympics.
caifornia did make money out of it but it was coordinated by people who knew what they were doing.
Even have a medallion from there. should I ebay it.
stay safe
Marathon went off without a hitch I expect a full onslaught of support behind the 2016 Olympic bid and this City's ability to host just as after last year's debacle there were countless numbers of bitching, complaining, and sarcasm over the City's ability... If you dont, then you prove that cops are good at one thing and one thing only BITCHING!!!

WOW. You sound just like the white shirts at academy. Only the very tough survive and graduate. Then what? No FTO's and thrown to the wolves. Absolutely no support system on the street. Remember if you are a PPO they are waiting to fire your ass for any reason. Still, I like the new BDU uniforms worn by the staff. Very hot!
The Olympics have never been in Madrid. That city is on the short list for the 2016 Games.
Last (and only time) time they were in Spain was Barcelona in '92.
2016 will mark 20 years since the last Summer games were in the US (Atlanta)
The US games have the largest TV ratings, therefore the biggest money to be paid to the IOC.
The Games are coming here, get used to that fact.
They won't go to Madrid as London has the games in 2012 and the IOC won't put them on the same continent twice in 4 years.
They won't go to Tokyo for pretty much the same reason with the Games just ending in China.
Rio is a shithole outside of the tourist areas and doesn't have the infrastructure either now or in the future to handle something of Olympic magnatude.
We are going to get them, McDonald's is threatening the IOC with a sponsorship pullout if Chicago doesn't get the games.
Money Talks.

tell us more oh wise one!
11:12 PM...I am being dead serious when I say QUIT NOW. We don't need you and don't want you. Here's a news flash...not everybody gets a real FTO. Most didn't when I came out because there have never been enough. You are trained by the officers you work with, FTO patch or not. And "no support system on the street"? This is only going to be true for you when the other p/os that have the misfortune of working with you realize that you are a scared, unprepared cry-baby. But please, before you quit, keep whining to anyone that will listen about how hard the academy was and how "poor little you" was picked on. It will make you lots of friends. God help this department. SERIOUSLY....please QUIT NOW before you get someone hurt.
