Liar Liar? Can't Get Hired

But promoted? To one of the more sensitive spots in the Department?
  • The newly appointed acting head of the organized crime division for Chicago Police has been dropped from consideration for a top police job in Arizona because of inconsistencies on his resume.
  • Officials from the city of Buckeye [AZ] did not return calls late Friday.
  • Peterson [CPD deputy superintendent of investigative services] refused to discuss Brown's job application in Arizona or whether officials knew about it.
Something stinks around this whole process. Buckeye city officials flew all the way to Chicago to check out portions of this resume and then fled back to Arizona as quick as they could, leaving a flurry of dust and "No comment's" in their wake.

We covered this 06 August, citing an Arizona Republic newspaper article that stated in part:
  • [another candidate Frank] Milstead's climb to top candidate comes after the town eliminated Ernest Brown from the running because of inconsistencies in his Chicago police background.

    Previously, Brown was the southwest Valley town's leading choice.

  • "What we were told (by Brown) and what we were seeing were two different things," said Scott Rounds, Buckeye's assistant town manager, who traveled to Chicago to visit Brown and tour his department in mid-July. "Through the process we found Mr. Brown doesn't fit the team."
Curiouser and curiouser Alice. How far does this rabbit hole go?

You want to see what someone with first hand experience with this goof sounds like? And she includes her screenname and photo? Go to the 06 November post titled "And the Media Shows Up" and go to Comment #144 out of 147 posted at 11/08/2008 09:15:00 AM

(FACT) Walt Greene & Ernie Brown were on Fmr Supt. Hilliard’s team in 007 years ago.

(FACT) “Down-Town” Ernie Brown was dumped from Street Deputy to Lt in A-1 not to long ago. (And by J Fed!!!)

(FACT) Judas Fed is regularly seen at Fmr Supt. Hilliard’s house.

(FACT) “Down-Town” Ernie Brown can be seen regularly with Bobby Rush, and some less than honest Aldercreatures.


“Team Crayola” (Greene & Brown) are about the only two who have more harassment beefs than Shields. Oh wait, Rickey is on midnights somewhere….. Seems like one way to get promoted is by having a large posse of bitches. Since CAPS is dead, can we put “TITANIC“in its place?

Armed man shot dead by police in Bronzeville
November 9, 2008 at 1:29 AM | Comments (0)
A police officer shot and killed an armed man Saturday evening in Bronzeville on the South Side, police said early this morning.

Police were confronted by the man about 8:40 p.m. in the 4400 block of South Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, said Mark Payne, a spokesman for the Independent Police Review Authority. An officer fired, and the man was pronounced dead at the scene. No officers were injured.

Multiple guns were recovered from the scene, Payne said.

The Independent Police Review Authority is investigating. No other information was immediately available.

Mike Shields and Ernie Brown are best friends, and you can tell from their disciplinary history why. Shields' cousin-in-law is elected president and ta-da! Ernie Brown, one of the worst exempts we've had in recent history is returned to his an exempt position he is completely unqualified for. Although Shields is losing his entire Bureau, I have a feeling he will be going up. So much for trimming the fat at the top. J-fed has f#$%ed this department up beyond belief and is reduced to being exactly what Daley wants-a kiss-ass willing to throw away all integrity to hold on to his precious $310,000 job of running a police department into the ground.

FACT: While assigned to the Academy as a Sergeant in the mid 1990's, DTEB was engaged to a police officer whose initials were F.S. (She has since left the Department for another occupation).

Their engagement came to an abrupt halt when DTEB kicked his way into F.S.'s house one night (literally broke down her front door), and proceeded to beat the shit out of her.

FACT: 90% of the instructors at the Academy knew what happened.

FACT: DTEB was protected by none other than then-Deputy Superintendent CHARLES RAMSEY, who contacted F.S. and told her to keep the situation quiet. F.S.'s other option was to be dumped to a district far, far away with a brick on her the size of Texas. F.S. elected to keep her mouth shut and DTEB gave her a wide berth.

FACT: F.S. worked with me...I saw the bruises and the scratches, and got the story from her first-hand.

God bless, F.S. She put up with more shit from DTEB than anyone should ever have to.

Hail to the new CHIEF of OCD.

I find it awfully suspicious that
Brown is promoted a day or two after the election. Does he have ties, whats the connection, why then. Brown is a piece of garbage, knew him when he first got promoted to exempt. His superiors had to watch him constantly. Jody the Jag, "change you can believe in", he's as corrupt as the rest of the Daley administration.

I can't speak on Brown's sexual proclivities, but over the years I worked for him briefly and later dealt with him as a street Deputy. In my brief experience with him, he was one of the better, more down to earth bosses that I've dealt with. Now don't go all crazy on me, I'm not kissing his ass, and I am well aware of the rumors, I'm just giving the perspective of a lowly male white sergeant who was treated like an adult by Brown, and never personally witnessed Brown do any of the shit he has been accused of. Doesn't mean he's innocent, just a different perspective.

Brown and Shields and Green are jsut the kind of guys Daley wants for the future. And, he's got an FBI guy in charge of the Dept. adn IAD to prove to everyone it is all on the up and up. Oliver Stone should make a movie. And they wonder why no one wnats to work.

One of Commander Brown's crowning achievments was an effort to reduce gas station robbries by convincing owners to put more lighting around their stations.

WTF - my cousin owns a hot dog stand - if I can get him to offer free soda with his dogs can I get promoted to Sergeant? This idea will bring more Police Officers to his stand thereby increasing the coverage in the area.

Thank You Deputy Superintendent Peterson for clearing up what was a very confusing choice for Chief of Organized Crime.

He is now Chief of one of the most important units in the department. Yes, he may have a number of relationships with women. The truth of the matter is, the women had to have been willing participants for him to have had relationships. Furthermore, the one thing he did not tell the Arizona people that got him knocked out was that he was demoted since he originally applied when he was ADS. His mentally deranged wife also added all types of bullshit because she was upset because he refused to have a child with her ane slept with her best friend when she left him.

Bottom line, he is doing wonderful and their is nothing anyone can do about it. HATERS!!!

Holy Indirected Processes Batman!!!

Let’s examine the basic dynamics of a resume:

The cover letter is usually based on the facts or fiction outlined in the resume.

Job experience

This is where most of the fluff and grandiose is sweated out of a ghost writer. Most bosses never write their own resume so they can blame the secretary for any errors.

Education

This is hard to fake. Most academic institutions are committed to combating identity fraud and false credentialing by bull shit artists.

Success, awards & recognition

Nothing wrong with patting yourself on the back for the hard work performed by others. When you see these bosses putting themselves in for an award it is extremely disgusting and pathetic.

References

You can most certainly discount these inherently bias people immediately. Best suggestion is to verify a candidate through your own resourcefulness just like those guys from Arizona who flew into town to check out potential personnel hoping to flee ex-federal scrutiny.

Top Ten Best Ways To Fluff Your Resume

10. Claim to be a member of Mensa

09. Invent a school that does not exist or claim a degree from a really good one here in Chicago.

08. Mention you’re a former Navy Seal, Special or Delta Force team member.

07. Recipient of the Medal of Honor, Navy Cross, Silver or Bronze Star, and Purple heart.

06. Must sure you list all your clouted politicians in the references.

05. Take credit for another boss’ work.

04. Give yourself a promotion. You can say you were just acting up!

03. Claim a false minority status.

02. Be a member of the Obama family.

01. Just lie, lie and lie your ass off. Nobody ever checks out these resumes anyway.

This site should be shut down. I have been reading this site and the bitching is unbelievable. Why don't some of you guy/gals quit and find a new job if your so unhappy. You work for the government, you will not get rich. I have had jobs in the past and I have never been paid this much money. I have worked a lot harder for far less money in the past. I have worked for both Brown and Shields over the past 20 years. These guys are not friends, they don't like each other. Both were just fair bosses, no better or worse than some of the other bosses. Brown is a little more "hands on" on the street. Shields didn't seem very street savvy during the time I worked for him. I think it would help this site if people would write factual information.

AMEN!!! What you've said is profound! You may not agree with my additions but here goes... (some) police are too use to lying on the street, it becomes second nature to keep lying, even on a fellow officer. If it not be a lie, the cowards exxagerates everything they hear or think, and the crime is magnified because stupid believes it! His own lies!

Some women are willing participants in relationships that end badly - or they end up not getting promised spot - so they accuse some poor schmuck of harassment. I don't know what the case is here, but I am sick and tired of these knee-padded females. They make it harder for the real victims of harassment to be compensated for legitimate claims.

The details you are posting are not true. Posters are just bitching because he got promoted after the stupid, happily called him Lieutenant. He is now Chief of one of the most important units in the department. Yes, he may have a number of relationships with women. The truth of the matter is, the women had to have been willing participants for him to have had relationships. Furthermore, the one thing he did not tell the Arizona people that got him knocked out was that he was demoted since he originally applied when he was ADS. His mentally deranged wife also added all types of bullshit because she was upset because he refused to have a child with her ane slept with her best friend when she left him.

Bottom line, he is doing wonderful and their is nothing anyone can do about it. HATERS!!!

Right on about the comment that only 37 women had the stones to come forward. There are alot of us who didn't come forward.

On a regular basis, Brown would make filthy dirty sex comments about what he could do to you and how good he was at it. In one swift motion, he would whisper in your ear and then walk away grinning.

This guy is backed by other criminals in the mayors pocket and other then and now exempt members. Who in this department would back a woman complaining about him? How do you prove it, they'd say its his word against yours. And no brick has ever been put on him, obviously, even though a pattern of sexual abuse was apparent.

He has no color preference of women either. He is a twisted, calculating pervert who gets his nuts off by intimidating women behind the backs of men. Why? Because he can.

I'm glad some of you got your awards, because he got his too by humiliating and taking advantage of women on this job. He is not a policeman, he is not a professional, he is a sociopath.

Besides all of that, I still want to know how being dishonest on a government document supports one to get a promotion? How does one get dumped so drastically and then suddenly earn a triple promotion in 8 months? Especially at area 1 -crime capital of the city - what newfound greatness did Brown do there in 8 months to justify this exempt assignment?

I don't want to hear Peterson defend this selection, I want the superintendent to explain it. He's the one who demoted Brown in the first place. And if everything is on the square, then justify why you made this decision Mr. Weis?

Finally, stop that crap about his assocation with Shields. They are friends. Don't you people realize yet that these exempts keep their enemies close? Don't you realize they want you to think they hate each other just to give the illusion that they are independent thinkers and that they care about us? It's all a game on their part.

I fear for OCD officers. What was once confidential is no longer. Those in 189 back in the day no what I'm talking about.

The comment about the problem of lurking strangers was from a previous post.

I was thinking Ernie may be able to use his new position to spread his genius to the chief of patrol, who can then encourage the citizens to buy baseball bats and install better lighting systems on their garages to illuminate the alleys.

Then Ernie can fluff his resume with caps solutions because he utilized our cpd slogan of together we can.

I think you've missed the point- the clout in this department just made a monumental shift. Big enough to have Shields calling the shots. Jody has failed and is therefore a lapdog to whatever the mayor says. Today the mayor's game is please Obama. It will be Shields, Shields, Shields and all his people from here on out. There will be no more Deputy Super of Strategic Deployment. Do you think Shields is getting demoted though? hahahahaha...right. This time next year he'll be one of the top 3.

Hate to burst your bubble princess. But she had more balls then alot of people i have seen on this job while she was still on. She spoke her "peace" while still employed by CPD.

I worked with her in housing. She broke her leg in a 10-1 in Rockwell, she told Lt. Juan Morado she was injured, and needed an IOD. He refused her it. She then drove HERSELF to the emergency room with a BROKEN LEG in her personal car after he refused her medical assistance! That takes BALLS my friend.

She had a stone cold solid beef against that jag and the department. But never lodged an allegation. She took it in stride and walked with grace.

So asshat, STFU you have no clue what kind of person she is.

hostile working environment is anothe type,
ALL are sexual harassment. It matters not if the relationship is voluntary/willing or not.
Person in power seduces person not in power, promised work enhancements, or threatens work changes = sexual harassment...

I am not excusing those not in power who seek the relationship to get the promises, but either way it is wrong... the person with the higher rank is supposed to know better and NOT engage.... oh well.

It is amazing to me that some of you bought his story of innocence. But I can understand why, because the real innocent never told the true story. Some were brought down and listened to tapes of T's voice conversing with a VL. Little did he know the VL he was running with was wearing a wire when he was giving over info.
He was heard blaming his side job antics onto innocent people. Some never even met him and gave statements. Follow up calls to see what was going to happen to him and were told it went away. So now what?

Just it would be nice for a change if the upper level of this dept, would devote resources to protect the people that pay taxes! 008 is huge and short handed as are many other districts, but this is the city we live in thanks to a mayor who would rather build not needed flower pots and give contracts to friends!
Wasn't my intention to blast the poster, just letting those uninformed non-police people know that 1st watch isn't filled up of all dogs.

I'm surprised no one commented about Fat Ass, three time meritoriously promoted Juan L.A.P.A Merado.

I agree he has been merit all the way, but he was shot on this job and has the scars to show it, now i'm by no means a fan of his and believe in one bite of the merit apple, but seeing some of the others meritorioulsy promoted their entire career who have done absolutely nothing, at least he was the police and that is what we always see people bitch about on this blog so we can't have it both ways...

11/10/2008 08:52:00 AM

Getting shot doesn't MAKE YOU THE POLICE. All of us that are the POLICE know that circumstances beyond our control may get you shot, and that is what we signed up for. So please do not try and justify Juan Morado getting shot in the leg, with him being the "real police". And YES I do know where he was shot and the circumstances surrounding it. It still doesn't qualify him for being MERITORIOUS all the way UP the line.

There are plenty of people that have been seriously injured on this job, shot, etc... And they are still working as a blue shirt. He happens to be a member of the L.A.P.A crowd, and was brought up through the ranks because of his race, not his competence. He himself has proven that.

It is amazing to me that some of you bought his story of innocence. But I can understand why, because the real innocent never told the true story. Some were brought down and listened to tapes of T's voice conversing with a VL. Little did he know the VL he was running with was wearing a wire when he was giving over info.
He was heard blaming his side job antics onto innocent people. Some never even met him and gave statements. Follow up calls to see what was going to happen to him and were told it went away. So now what?

11/11/2008 02:08:00 AM

Hey blow hole ... God I hate when people like you, a dog ass no doubt would cast a shadow on someone like Bobby Thorne ... if what you say was true he would have been indicted ...

Hate to burst your bubble princess. But she had more balls then alot of people i have seen on this job while she was still on. She spoke her "peace" while still employed by CPD.

I worked with her in housing. She broke her leg in a 10-1 in Rockwell, she told Lt. Juan Morado she was injured, and needed an IOD. He refused her it. She then drove HERSELF to the emergency room with a BROKEN LEG in her personal car after he refused her medical assistance! That takes BALLS my friend.

She had a stone cold solid beef against that jag and the department. But never lodged an allegation. She took it in stride and walked with grace.

So asshat, STFU you have no clue what kind of person she is.

We got your back Pep.

11/10/2008 12:13:00 PM

Here is a guy that was shot on the job, and refuses another officer that is injured in the line of duty medical assistance, an IOD and an ambulance? An Officer has to drive themselves to the Hospital injured with a broken leg in their personal car? Morado you are a disgrace to the uniform!!!! I sure hope there was OEMC tapes on that!

What would he have thought if that happened to him when he got injured? What a piece of shit.

I am the origional poster, i agree with you, he made meritorious det., as I think anyone who is shot, stabbed. etc on this job should, which is what I was trying to get across in my origional post. I also know the circumstances of his shooting, him and his team were hitting an apt. in ABLA when he was shot, he was being the police.

It almost sounds like I'm talking to you old Sarge. Sorry to say this isn't bullshit, its Chicago, many political hacks in this city get away with crimes without being indicted. I am the fact. I was one of the people called down and watched and heard the tapes when he said my name. I know there are at least two others because he said their names within the same conversation. I know the other two didn't know him at all..I never talked to them or anyone about this..and I never worked for old sarge. I stayed quiet and waited and was going to sue for defamation. Time went by and nothing was happening and I inquired as to status and I was told quote "case is closed, he retired." Interesting thing is that you missed is Hokey had old Sarge as acting lt when he was cmdr of narc. Hokey was ads of iad when old sarge got taken down and let go.

Bobby T's problem occurred when Dave Boggs was the Commander of Narcotics and Ray Risley was the Chief of OCD.

If Risley thought that Bobby was a problem he should of moved him out immediately as he had been in-charge of IAD prior to moving up the ladder and should of had the intelligence information on misconduct.

Risley was too busy taking care of his buddy Miedznowski to pay any attention to what was going on in Narcotics and failed to provide leadership.

If there were any so-called tapes the Feds would not of hesitated to move on Bobby T.

I believe it was just all about someone (RL) looking for help at the Federal building who went after an interesting target but in the end there was no substantiating evidence and a good man was forced into retirement.

Thanks for the go fuck yourself and stay safe comment. At least i know you have my back when we meet on the street. ~laughs~

Your own words, "he was being the police". Aren't we all being the police when we took the oath and put on the uniform? Don't we sign up for the hazards of this job? , Our job description is being the police. I will agree with you, there should be some compensation put in for those that are seriously injured, shot, stabbed etc...

But when does that job description mean meritorious ALL THE WAY? Does competence come into play? Because i am shot, stabbed or injured on the job "being the police" doesn't automatically qualify me as a good guy, a great cop, a good leader or one that commands a leadership position of many and respect of the troops beneath me. Respect is earned, leadership is by example, honor is by being honorable. Intetgrity is doing the right thing even when no one is watching.

PS

When he hung that Officer out to dry and refused medical assistance, where the Officer had to take matters into her own hands and drive herself to a hospital with a broken leg in her personal car. The above statement shows what he is made of, that he isn't of the caliber that i spoke of in the above post. Juan Morado obviously forgot where he came from.

Ray Risley as Chief of OCD, a case book study of how not to run an organization!

The Narcotic Section first had officers stealing a million dollars because of the lack of supervision and then the Bobby T. incident. A Risley surrogate admits going to the press over the first incident, which derailed the investigation by the Feds.

Gang Crimes Investigation Section you have Miedzanowski running wild and conferring with the Chief and the Chief protecting him when the ATF agents complained, which cost the City millions.

Intelligence Section you have the Chief attempting to prove the hierarchy of the PD has OC connections and when it became obvious that the Feds did not find it credible, somehow it was leaked to the media.

Risley wanted to be Superintendent. PLEASE?

Would you stop calling me a liar. I was down there and heard him speak and saw him on the tape saying 3 different names, one of which was mine.

I never worked for this man and I never had anything against him until this incident. He put me through a life of misery and being scared for 2 years, trying to figure out what the hell was happening around me all of a sudden. Come to find out one day it was because of him trying to put a case on me.

Like I said I spoke to the iad person who interviewed and showed me the tapes, and he made the "case closed BT retired" comment and wouldn't say anymore more. By that time I knew I was going to be fighting a losing battle and I dropped my intent to sue.

I don't know who RL is or the version of the story that you speak of. I wish I did. But how do you account for what I saw and I heard? Maybe he got away with what he did, maybe there wasn't enough to charge him, maybe the feds didn't like the informant, maybe there was another cop who dragged BT into some shit. But I am telling you that I saw BT handing papers to the wired dude and I heard BT say my name and tried putting me in the mix.

Again I never worked for the man and only knew him by name and was out of the unit for over a year when he was participating in these antics. I have always hoped to see him again so I can dress him down and put it right on him - why did he pick me when I hardly know him?

Its my believe he was living a double life and was lucky enough to get away with it before his true reputation got out to all of you no timers. The people I know that know the true past of him are old timers.

One more question, if he did nothing wrong and they found that he did nothing wrong - why did he retire so abruptly?

I am not who you think I am. I am someone who is so outside of the box which is why I can't even begin to guess who RL or muscleman is. But maybe I should?
No it wasn't me they cared about, they followed me over one year and pulled my phone records and knew I never associated with anyone from that unit. But they had to pull me in to question me and they were as confused as I was.
I'm sure I don't know everything that went down and don't know the part of the story you speak of. Just as you don't know about the part of the story that happened to me. I wasn't around there to gossip about this and only a few people know of my story. But if you know where BT is or where I can find him, I will confront him about what happened to me.

It appears that the only way to solve the discussion regarding Robert "Bobby" Thorne is for someone to file a freedom of information (FOIA) with the FBI and the US Attorney's Office.

This would provide interesting reading and probably would be approved as the statute of limitations has expired.

The same should be done for Ray Risley and whatever he stated regarding Rodriguez, Townsend, Ruckrich, Drammis, Malone, Hoke, Browne, Zonis and DeLeonardis' connections with organzied crime.

When the documents are retrived they could be posted on the internet.

Ray Risley has several problems that he could not overcome.

The first was he believed all of "wacky Gene's" conspiracy theories and allowed him to try to prove them even when there was no evidence to support them.

The second he can no one saying anything critical about his wife,Linda, even though everyone who worked with her said she was divisive.

The third he believed he should of been the Superintendent not Rodriguez and then Hillard.

The fourth anyone who stood in his way he went after.
