Bad News Day Part 2
Former Chicago police officer Mahmoud Shamah may not have been surprised by a guilty verdict in his federal corruption trial today, but the one-time tactical officer had hoped he would not get nailed with the most serious of his numerous charges -- a conspiracy conviction.
A jury found that Shamah, 29, had participated in a conspiracy to steal thousands of dollars from drug dealers. In a case that presented testimony that cops regularly carried crack to plant on suspects, paid informants for dubious information and even bribed a judge to approve an arrest warrant, Shamah was convicted on five of six counts.
He will face as many as 20 years in federal prison when he is sentenced next year, authorities said.
Now think about 20 years in the same fucking room, exercise for an hour a day, same faces over and over and over again, weekend visits that dwindle into monthly visits.
If that doesn't keep you on the straight and narrow, what would?

How did they ever think they were'nt going to get caught.
it all boils down to this....GREED. i dont feel sorry for the guys who pull this bullshit..i feel sorry for their families.the SOS,PACMAN CREW AND THOSE GUYS ROLLING DRUNKS ON BELMONT all thought they were too smart to get caught.remember this...if you do stupid shit it will eventually catch up with you.
Hope his tac sgt was REEEEEALLY happy with all those CB#'s.....................
It always gets me when one of these guys get caught, how they say what everyone else is doing. I don't and don't know anyone planting shit on people, carrying drugs or paying judges for warrants.
But the fuck up part is that the mastermind his partner flipped on him. He was made to look like the shithead. So when are cops going to learn? The feebs are not concerned about joe dirt slanging dope on the corner it's cops.
crap in my burrito might be worse then 20 years
Amen !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I cheer when they convict Fuckheads like him. Did you ever wonder why judges let a lot of jagoffs free and you're scratching your head wondering what the fuck happened during the trial. Why the judge let some prick go when you had him cold....Thank Jagoffs like "Mike". Pretty soon we won't be able to get motherfuckers convicted even if we get them on film. Fuck that Asshole!
20 years ago i was 6..enough said thanks scc for keeping us awake
To bad so sad. Ya get what ya get when ya cross dat line.
"...think about 20 years in the same fucking room, exercise for an hour a day, same faces over and over and over again, weekend visits that dwindle into monthly visits.

With the number of guys getting locked up, seems NOTHING will keep some on the straight and narrow.
DOES THIS MEAN THAT SPOTS R OPENING UP AT THE JAIL!
MY 2ND COUSIN WANTS TO B A SHERIFF.
Did I just go up in seniority?
Sh...Sha...Shama not gonna have a job anymore!
What are these guys thinking?!
Being in PATROL is like legal theft! It's a great job, you're paid to do NOTHING! You get FREE gas & 8 hours to roam around & do WHATEVER you want to do! Get a DVD player, study for school, go shopping and do a write some funny reports.
Have you ever worked in a cubicle? This job is so much fun compared to that!
12:29 has it right. Greed, pure and simple. I've been watching this stuff since the tavern scandals in 018 and 015 forty years ago. Human beings are hired as the police. Human beings are greedy by nature. Police criminality is more newsworthy because everybody hates you to begin with and they enjoy seeing us fuck-up. It gives Mr. Citizen (or Mr. illegal alien today) a chance to enjoy a bit of self-righteous anger.
Don't be chumps, do your jobs, hang around 29 years, grab that pension.
As SCC points out, jail blows! You know what blows worse? Being an ex-con,ex-cop. You are at the very bottom of society's pecking order and will be unemployed for life unless you have some good Poltical/Outfit juice.
How did they ever think they were'nt going to get caught.

More than likely in there already unless you watched him roll it!
good riddence to that P.O.S. Hopefully they'll get more real soon. 1 POS like the convicted LowLife from 022 again tarnishes our image badly. A firing squad for him would have been a better sentence. I'd volunteer gladly, we'd have 1 less f'n dope dealer in our City.
The common denominator with all of these criminals, they believe they are smarter than everyone.
I hope he gets the max!
I hope the media begins to question the department's hiring standards.
How do these people get on to begin with. Standards are lowered when there are not enough qualified applicants. Items in the background are overlooked in order to fill certain pigeon holes.
Here is a novel idea, how about offering better compensation for the rank and file. I know this will take money out of city contractors pockets, which in turn can't be kicked back, but you get what you pay for.
How did they ever think they were'nt going to get caught.
They never do......

"How did they ever think they were'nt going to get caught"..................Ummmmm,maybe because plenty of "working police" have gotten away with this bullshit forever.Maybe some of their tact bosses got away with planting dope and stealing while PO's ,only to get promoted.This was common practice in a couple different districts I worked in through the 90's.You naive new guys crack me up,you've stepped into a shitpile called the CPD and can't see how big it really is.Sadly some of you dorks will fall to the temptation of easy money,and a small percentage of said dorks will get caught.
SCC, you sound like you feel sorry for him.......it's jags like him that make our job that much harder.
So maybe Dick Durbin will get compassionate all of a sudden and ask President Bush--nah, probably not.

Which judge? Are they going after him? Or is locking up a cop good enuf.
1:36 said...The feebs are not concerned about joe dirt slanging dope on the corner it's cops.
yep, your being picked on. what's the point of busting the cops, they should get to do whatever they want. why else would you join the force? this is all so wrong.
Regular for cops to carry and plant dope on people m/f please just like that sos ass hole trying to paint a picture of the rest of the department being dirty in order to make him self not look like such a scumbag. I never have or never known anyone who planted dope on some one or paid a judge.
If ur dirty quit this job we don't want you here!
INCREDIBLE!!!!! IT doesnt matter what kind of good you do it is ALWAYS taken away by the profile naturally perceived by the public as being dirty because of the stupid acts of a few.
Do the job as described in the general orders, that is all.
Help out the citizen when needed but DO NOT go above and beyond for this city. That is saved for your fellow officers out on the street.
Those orders are made to trap you, DO NOT fall for all those bullshit stories of being the "REAL POLICE" they are just that, BULLSHIT.
Policing is a state of mind, not a state of being.
DO NOT be a dog and put extra burden on your fellow po's, if you condone that then quit.
Be aggresive but fair and SMART.
Getting CR's is not always the sign of a good working cop but the sign of a careless one.
Know how to talk, be smarter than the animals, thats how they are beaten.
Before you guys get all wound up I know that cr's happen and why they happen, but we all know that many cr's happen because a officer loses professionalism.
Give this city what it wants but still be the police, if not for the law abiding citizens than at least for each other.
Stay Safe
It always gets me when one of these guys get caught, how they say what everyone else is doing. I don't and don't know anyone planting shit on people, carrying drugs or paying judges for warrants.
----------------------------------
It may be hard for those on the straight and narrow to understand, but this kind of stuff has been around in police work for a long time, other than the paying judges thing. I can't say I have ever heard of that anywhere else. The other stuff is relatively common.
They should look at his partner for perjury. Just got done reading the article and looks as if his patner lied his ass off. It's a shame that that Fed's made a deal knowing that his testimony was going to be a bunch of lies. They are both guilty but come on these two jagoff nobodys paid a kick back to a jugde. What Judge and why isn't he or she in jail. What kind of bullshit was it that you can steal from a drug dealer because they don't know how much he has. Every police officer knows dealers know the amount of money they have on them. I'm glad he is looking at 20yrs but his partner should be too. Nothing worse then a dirty cop to make the rest of us look bad.
Know what being a cop is like? Cruising after school with your high school buddies. Except that your armed and have the powers of arrest. Sometimes, if you fall in with the wrong people, you end up screwing up, but if you get caught that's no excuse.
I've been around long enough to hold off judging others without knowing all the facts. Through a stupid, or unlucky, set of circumstances almost any of us could find ourselves behind the 8 ball. Anyone who doesn't think so, send me an email telling when
the ceremony bestowing your sainthood is taking place so I can get some pictures.
if you recall the names of some sos guys who are doing time in Illinois State Prison system, look up their names and look at their prison mug-shots. That'll bring it home. (rc, jl, eh).
Do we seriously believe that a higher pay wage is going to stop this type of activity?! Some of these guys know how to read and see the news reports about cops turned robbers and the outcome there after. These are family moral issues you bring to this career.
The Snethens, O'Neils, Collums, O'Callaghans, Callahans, and all those "legends" didn't steal, didn't beat people up, didn't lie on reports. I don't care what anyone says. I was there and I learned from them. They were class acts and taught officers how to trick the tricksters. signed-not in prison
There is nothing like someone thinking he knows the " dope" game.
1. Talk to every snitch as if you are talking to the FBI directly.
2. Use your phone for ordering pizzas. Multiple phones are of no use- so easy to get your new number and just jump phones.
3. If it looks too good, it is too good.
Stay honest- do your job and retire.
old retired guy
Gee does that mean Dick Durbin will apply for a pardon for him like former Gov. George Ryan ... I mean whats the difference ... both are thieves ... Ryan's corrupt acts led to the death of a family ... But we should feel sorry for him because his wife is ill and he is 74 ... after all he did let Aaron Patterson out did he not ... what a guy ... where's Patterson ?? Oh yeah back in prison ... gee what a suprise ... Let's let them all go after all it was a non violent felony ...
It's Highway time....
Only a complete asshole would've known that D wasn't an asshole from the get-go! You know how some bosses always pick the assholes and then try to disclaim them when they're in handcuffs??? Same boss, same story. Maybe she's the asshole.
Same mind set as too many others who DON'T get caught, that's why.
12/03/2008 08:14:00 AM
truer words were never spoken,
a politician's creed, but only we know it when it happens.
was a time when a bad guy knew he was caught and just give up.
U know the cop u look up too, and steal with? is the cop who will testify against u. rat pussy! it takes more courage to do things the right way then the wrong way.
the right way for me is watching a few dvds a night eating a nice lunch avoiding any bullshit and backing up other P.O.s who don't get it yet. get a sidejob if you want extra money.

Now that's funny, laughing my ass off!
Maybe some hormones from the pen crowd? He can spend years entertaining ala Richard Speck.
Good luck Jagoff!
He should have his lawyer reach out to Dick Durbin, read off a laundry list of all his great police work and finish it up with a George Ryan quote, I have finally accepted responsibility for my wrongdoing". Then sit back and wait for the pardon.

The staff at the Medical Section, Inspectors (3), Sergeants (2), sworn and civilian have been reviewing all limited duty officers files.
The staff at the Medical Section have shared the Medical information from those files with the staff of the Superintendent's Policy Team = Mike Masters, Sgt. Ray Hamilton, P.O. Karen Bartuch, and P.O. Pat Brennan.
The staff of the both these sections have been going around to numerous persons in the department and making comments about those limited duty officers and their ailments.
In particular, it was mentioned in my presence about a female Sgt. that has been on limited duty for most of her career. Her ailments were mentioned and made fun of.
This is a direct violation of HIPPA laws.
If anyone feels that their file at the Medical Section is being used in violation of HIPPA laws, I encourage you to file a complaint/law suit.
If the citizens of this city can sue for every little thing then the employees should do the same when they are violated.
This happened at the Medical Section last year and the "Director" was replaced by a Lt. who was made an Inspector.
Everyone should be aware that the Department does not care about HIPPA laws and will discuss your medical conditions anytime they choose with anyone they choose.
I hope they talk about mine so that I can hit the "lottery"
Prison doesn't involve weekly or even monthly visits after a while. Your woman drops you within a few months, then no one visits you any more. Your family will visit a few times until the novelty wears off. You have nothing to give your kids, so they soon decide they have nothing to give you. If your woman has looks, and most prisoners' women really don't, she will be gone before you use up the first roll of toilet paper in your cell. Prison is a lonely, lonely son of a bitch for most. And the realirty sets in fast.
This kids partner has laid everything off on him. He's suppose to be talking about 022 Sgt's and a judge. I don't believe a supv. or judge would be that stupid. On the other hand the "Station Talk" could screw you. For instance, before a dope raid someone makes the comment either in the station or on the phone "If there's 2 million in this dope house I'm out of here" a few other P.O.s chime in and say "me too after I get my cut". When those statements are played on a federal tape in a federal court, to a suburban jury...It's gospel. Guess what "bustin balls" cooberated by a co-defendant that doesn't want to go to jail for half his life will put you away too. The Fed's know this, and they us it. Were just a statistic to them.
I've been around 30+ years and I'm going to continue to joke and bust balls. Work hard and have fun on this job.
The real lesson in all of this:
On this job, your partner will be the first one to flip on you.
Look at every big crooked cop trial throughout the nation. Who is always the star witness?
Trust no one.
The police deal with the lowest common denominator of society on an everyday basis. Police experience tragedies on a daily basis that most non-police hope to never experience and if they do, they are affected by it for the rest of their lives. In order to be effective police officers and decent human beings, police officers must develop the ability to "compartmentalize " their thoughts and actions. Taking a dead toddler in your arms to delever him to the morgue at 2pm, then come home and hug your own kids with the same arms takes a mental leap that most poeple don't ever have to make. Having to make a shoot- no shoot decision at 7pm and and a few hours later being confronted at home about "what's for dinner" can be confusing. Every police officer everyday has to have the ability to "turn it on, and "turn it off"
Police officers must be good at compartmentalizing their emotions and actions. In order to ensure the preservation of the public good, officers are sometimes required to step into grey areas of right and wrong.
Without proper support, training and resources, the doors between those "compartments" become open gates. Once those gates start swinging back and forth and the grey areas flood an officers sense of right and wrong and bad things happen.
The CPD uses some archaic para-military training practices to create Pavlovian resposnes. While that can be excellent for the use of a firearm, it does nothing to develop a well trained, thinking peace keeper. Until the CPD creates a "career delopment" approach to training, scandals like this will continue to pop-up and have reactionary consequences that only further these types of scandals.
So can I exchange my 1A, 2A with his 7A, 13B?
i guess mahmoud didnt have former commander sodini for a boss. word is that the former commander asked a middle eastern officer in 12 to drop his name from a discrimination lawsuit in return he would put him in for merit dick. he did and was made dick anyone know of this because all in 12 do thats to his girls BIG mouths upstairs

have an extensive file at the medical section as the result of a serious incident on the job requiring complex surgery. If I find out it has been the subject of discussion by any of these kiss ass pretty boys and girls, some of whom I know have limited street experience, I will sue the shot out of them personally and the city as well.

Some people just love solitary confinement. Years seem like months. Look have fast J-Pud's career has gone down the shit hole in 10 months. Seems like he just started. He almost earn his first $300,000.00 with $600,000.00 more to go.
Company B for MSF are hitting the street on December 12th. Interviews just about knotched! Wait until you see who they allowed back from "old" SOS? Word in MSF is that THESE SOS guys were the very ones on the "aww shit over 100 plus cr#" list. Nice to see MSF isn't worried about loose cannons no more!

Please, stop. The medical section has NEVER had 3 inspectors. It used to have 1, but he is now a watch commander. It currently has ZERO. Also, there is no private right to sue by way of HIPPA. Only the Federal Government can file an enforcement action. Don't hold your breath waiting for that one. Sorry. No Lottery or Bentley in your future.
P.S. I do agree with you that the Medical section and its flunkies blow.
To all you non police reading this blog, no one hates crooked cops more then us hard working honest cops..May he get pounded up the &&&& ever day...

Off topic but I think J-Fed is actually doing a good job with the exception of being overly harsh on discipline but with stuff like this still being done by a couple of us can you blame him?He is equipping us with rifles,supports getting rid of the 6 day work week and getting us tahoes wich are safer healthier and more comfortable.I'll actually be able to stretch my legs and get some circulation while driving I know some idiots are against the Tahoes just as some idiots voted against piloting the alternate work schedule a couple years back.Probably half men such as D.Adams,Moriarity,and esp Ephraim who can't relate.On a happier note 021 actually has a few good coppers now like Ferraras,Schvarster and Nelson.If we could only get rid of some the the bitter guys who came from tac to the watch and are spoiling a great place to work with their screwed up attitudes tainting some of the new guys.

You want some cheese with that whine?
If they are there to investigate the files of light duty officers, then of course they're going to have to talk about it. I'd be willing to bet that there is a large share of these light duty people that are perfectly healthy and are just to damned lazy to go back to work. THEY are part of the reason we're so short handed in the districts and are in fact a part of the overall problem. I think everyone on non-IOD light duty should be forced to prove they can't do the same job we do. If they can't then they should be put on disability instead of getting equal pay for doing 25% of the work we do. No more uniform allowance or shift differential pay either. Hire new officers to replace them where they're needed--in the beat car.
the Department does not care about HIPPA laws ....
don't think HIPPA applies- you are getting paid by city to stay home/hositalized and convalesce/ recover/fall apart - they are allowed to get/use info

Actually the Medical Section does have three inspectors.
1). Tracey Ladner (in the directors spot)
2). Kevin Sadowski, does Medical follow ups on the South Side.
3). Don't know the name of #3 but he/she does the Medical follow ups on the North side.
Sorry to burst your know it all bubble!

There are exceptions for self-insured government units. Also, there are many exceptions, one of which is work related injuries or illnesses, as is anything that might render us unfit for duty.
