Oh, Come On Now
This is ridiculous:
- Hey SCC,
Yesterday at headquarters, as of last count, 11 workers slipped and fell in the parking lot on their way into the building. Security in the building notified building maintenance of the unsafe conditions and they answered that they can not apply salt until 2" inches of snow are on the ground. I did notice that where the Exempts park there was no ice on the ground. I know you think we do nothing here, but the bottom line is that 11 employees of the Chicago Police Department slipped and fell due to unsafe conditions. I would be interested to know how many Police Officers fell on their way into work on Thursday. Dirty Dick has already said he won't salt the side streets, until business hours, now he's not salting where we work.
Now Headquarters is going to be short ELEVEN bodies. Who's going to write the memos?
And they're going to strip the Districts to make up the shortages (that's a joke people).

I cant wait to come off furlough than Im going to be slipping on the ice in the parking lot after roll call. Ouch my back!!!!! See you suckers in 5-6 months. The city is giving us this "PERK" you can bet I will be taking advantage of it. Screw this city, Im a DOG and proud of it! I got over 10 years on and will continue to suck up the free checks and do nothing while others be "The Real Police". Hahahahha morons.
021 district parking lot was the same was thinking this is an iod waiting to happen
Can you say IOD.
Call OSHA!
Daley is stealing so much and putting it all away for the olympics no one wants! Think maybe the paper could do a poll to see how many of chicagoans even want the olympics? No! To scared to insult the thief daley and his cronies! If I fall on the ice no matter how little iod until at least summer thanks mayor freido! Now today he fired the budget director another one who most likely took a stand against daley, and picardi will be gone soon with his balls strapped back!
Maybe a thoughtful selection of winter footware is in order.
Let me guess, what was the uniform of the day? High heels, skirt and fake long finger nails with multi-colors? O--kay?
Are you freaking kidding me....The FOP is gonna spend my money to represent that slim-ball Jon Burge....What is this Union thinking about. 18 months without a contract, no raises predicted and no hiring and they focus on this POS....I'm done....KMBA
I have worked for the police dept since 1980 and this last few years I have noticed that they dont apply salt in the district lots like before. Yesterday two PO's fell in our lot. Last year several people fell including myself. It used to be that a street & san truck would swing thru our lots but not anymore. Maybe richie has little tommie counting the grains of salt used!
ahhh great idea for IOD!!! see ya after summer!!!
There was lots of black ice out on the streets last night and this morning. I have to wonder if the cost to the city in lawsuits for injuries and accidents will be equal or greater than what they save on salt, trucks and streets & san salaries. My bet is that this will be a money-losing proposition, King Richie's Bilandic moment.
I might not be able to sue the city, but my spouse sure can.
ice is very dangerous; i fell on the way into work a few years ago;cracked my eye socket, broke my hand; cracked 3 ribs. It is really stupid to save on salt/sand & pay out medical costs & workmans comp/sick leave.
Off topic: but isn't commander Eugene Roy from 009 always fair game?
009th district was just about to have to cancel their Christmas party due to lack of ticket sales, when commander Roy saved the day by threatening officers. He MADE all officers with management spots buy tickets to the Christmas party AND he had a list of names at the door to be checked off. He was pissed that people have no loyalty, etc.
Fuck you asshole! Where's your loyalty? You have to force people ---- management people---- to attend the Christmas party???? You really are a loser if your own management officers have to be forced into the Christmas party.
What I love the most is not only did I force them to BUY a ticket.....u MADE them show up. You really are a fuckng loser Roy.
I do believe NOTHING in this city was salted. I too almost went down outside my district and NO side streets seemed to get any salt. Streets have been more slick than usual. i guess it doesnt matter that we pay taxes and expect that the city be responsible for clearing and salting streets. Expect MANY more accidents in next couple of months. Be careful
You know things are bad when they can't even pour salt into our wounds!
Yeah, just wait when all the lawsuits come down due to car crashes because the street were not safe to drive on due to the citys negligence....or all the people that will slip in the districts. I'll be first in line with my attorney. Fuck the mayor and the city. They sell off all the cities assets and still claim we are broke while the pockets of the few get big.
of those 11 only maybe one is legit. the others are suckholes who couldn't get 13b. of course they will get away with it-- always have, always will.
How about the goof from 023 Tact who looks like Casper the ghost falling down the stairs and going IOD for months. Then coming back for a day and taking another dive down the stairs!! Hopefully he'll fall into one of his piss bum hunting "rat traps" next time.
I fell down the stairs of an ice covered front porch going to a job yesterday....should have reported it and gone IOD.
Anyway, does anybody know, for future reference, can you sue the homeowner? if they are section 8, as most of the people are, do they still have to have some sort of home insurance policy??
Looking for answers...thank you.
I just want to try and figure something out here. At what point during the time of all the allegations against Burge was he a member of the FOP? Are they not blaming him as a Commander of the Det Division of the time of the torture?
Why is the FOP footing the bill now? There are dues paying memebers who are PO's currently on this job who get the shaft when it comes to legal rep and have to go at it on ther own but we are footing the bill for Burge?
If for him then why not the guys from SOS and others like them?
Just wondering
we don't need ice in 021, at least half a dozen desk bunnies fall down every year here and take extended I.O.D vacations!
Sometimes justice hits the streets of Chicago but it definitely is not at the hand of the Crook County States Attorney's Office.
Shithead steals a car in 006, gets in an accident and he didn't know it was "Click or Ticket" month gets ejected from the car and dies. May he RIP (Rot In Pieces) Guess things work out in the end sometimes.
link from the suntimes how police union will pick up the tab for Burges defense
http://www.suntimes.com/news/24-7/1315961,jon-burge-trial-police-union-120508.article
Sounds like the parking lots (both the one for our personal cars and the one for the squad cars) in 011.
We didn't have 2" of snow but what we did get was rain then it dropped 20 plus degree's and turned it to a hazardous sheet of slippery glass. They don't care about us or our safety. At the area I saw two coppers fall on the ice as I was walking from my car and even after seeing them fall, and even with me being careful, I took a header too and landed on my ass. I hate this city and dept.

GLOBAL WARMING!.........
....or not
The floor in the rear entrance of 025 has been erupting up for years. Lots of the lights in the building are burned out or missing. But those so-called building engineers just sit in their basement office playing computer games. Maybe they should privatize them too?
Sounds like eraly X mas vacations to me.
i bet toyletta be iod in a minute
Sidestreet intersections in Mt. Grenwood were solid ice. Very hazardous, be careful. City had NO snow or Ice in Oct. OR November, now they say they don't have enough moey for proper and safe snow and ice removal. Where has all this taxpayers money gone and where is it going to? All Corruption and mismanagement, never stops here in Crook County/Shitcago. Feds, you might as well pack up and go home, you are inept at stopping this constant B.S. IRS should have done a COMPLETE Audit of the City's Records for at least the last 5 years.
Lawsuits and workers comp for 11 employees, that's much cheaper than salting icy parking lots. Is the collective IQ in government decision making in the double digits up there?
Sue Daley, Weis and those other rotten cocksuckers for negligence. actual and punitive damages.
there were several officers city wide who took headers in the parking lots throughout the 25 districts and areas.
Hmmm, I work in a district with close to 300 police officers and civilians and nobody slipped going to work. Perhaps 35th St is filled with zeros looking for the big IOD.
I may volunteer to do a mail run for the desk to 35th and.....WHAMMMOOO, fall right on my ass due to that ice. I'll take 6 months off and sue the city. Everyone else does so why can't I??Because that's how dog-ass mother-fuckers play the game. You know the mutts. It was pretty funny I did almost hit the deck on some ice after getting coffee. It was such a close call. The chances we take on this job!! Stay safe.
Try working in 005/Area Two. The lot is rarely plowed and the parking lot is unsecured which means random street people pass through and occasionally check vehicle doors. Then go into the detectives locker room on a rainy day and it looks like Lake Erie complete with the foul odors!!! I'm waiting to fall in there and sue the crap out of the city. I just don't want a severe brain injury from the fall. Lawsuits are the only thing that gets this city to react.
Driving down side streets I have had to noticeably SLOWDOWN to maintain control of the vehicle delaying police response. I wonder how many lawsuits the resulting IODs, crashes or falls will spawn.
I think ice in the station lot is the least of our maintenance worries. In the 1st District the "new" station is literally sinking before our eyes with HUGE cracks in the walls and floors. Who is responsible for this and where is the contractor that built the place?
So our fellow officers assigned to HQ are not your equal and only write memos? And you actually belive this? Wow!
Is there going to be a march at the F.O.B. hall to protest the F.O.P. deciding to pick up Burge's legal bills? If the media is reading, the F.O.P. members (police officers) are outraged at the F.O.P. boards decision to pay Burge's legal bills. I can't find one P.O. that the F.O.P. represents who agree to that bone head decision.
Why even do anything???? WTF??
A man who police had sought in a reported sexual assault at the CTA's North/Clybourn Red Line station on the Near North Side turned himself in this week, but was released because the victim does not want to pursue the case.
I bet all 11 fake fell. Some of the idiots on this job do nothing better than go on and off the medical. to those I say FUCK you ... because you are screwing everyone else... but to each his own so if you are on the medical I suggest you have a good reason. because people ARE watching ;)
bridgeport is salted as always
Great now the dept cant even pay ot. My direct deposit is usually in the night before and no go. I talk to finance they say checks are being cut late this afternoon and direct deposit. 1630 and no money in my account yet. This great mayor.
I was looking at the list of the top 100 public high schools in the country and was apalled that Crane High School was not on the list. What is this world coming to?
Bless Our Wonderful Mayor, and All The Wonderful Things He Does For Us.

Murders Jump in Obama’s Back Yard as Chicago Cuts Police Hires
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601109&sid=aQ9o.B5rNDpg&refer=home#
The most interesting part of the article is where they compare Chicago's Homicide rate to other big cities;
The rate of one homicide for every 5,878 residents (in Chicago) compares with one in 11,322 for Los Angeles as of Nov. 29 and one in 17,294 for New York as of Nov. 30, according to U.S. Census Bureau data and local police. Chicago’s population is 2.83 million.
But no one should worry as J-ineffective has a firm hand on...something, I just don't know what.
If the men and women of the FOP let the Ex Board pay for Burge legal fee's then yiou guys are stupid. I understand that they need to take a stand at times. But you need to pick your battles wisely. Plus he wasn't a patrolman when it happened. Wasn't he a member of the Lt. Association?
Let them pay for it. It's going to be a losing cause guys.
I;ll bet Shortshanks & Burke had no snow or ice around their houses.
wow i've been driving for a very long time, and NEVER saw the streets so icey. I work days and could not believe the sheets of ice, then coming home i take side streets and same thing!!! Un-real, so i slid, crack up my car or someone elses...my insurance goes up, cars in shop, hopefully no injuries..cause city can't afford salt??? But taxes are the highest...but flower pots are lovely!!!
OT, THIS IS FROM THE DEC 03, 2008 SUNTIMES BY MICHAEL SNEED:
The police blotter . . .
It's a first! In an attempt to build a better understanding between the City Council and the Chicago Police Department, Sneed is told top cop Jody Weis has invited all aldermen to take part in modified training at the Police Academy.
• • Translation: It's an effort to show aldermen what it's like to walk in the shoes of cops. Aldermen have been told to dress casually for the training.
F@$k THE ACADEMY. LET THEM HIT THE STREETS IN A SHITTY DISTRICT ON A FRIDAY OR SATURDAY ON 3RD OR 1ST WATCH ONCE A MONTH. THEN THEY MAY GET A CLUE AS TO WHAT WE DEAL WITH DAILY OR DALEY! :)

I have a 15yo vest I can loan them for a fee on their night out.
off topic and im sure someone either will or has addressed it already but why are we paying for burges defense? Shouldnt the union which he belonged to be the ones who are supposed to be paying for this, please advised as im a bit confused! thanks
does any1 know whether Gov Rod signed the pension portability yet? I hop ehe does soon before hes gone!
Watch the documentary on Chicago's Murder rate this Sunday at 9pm on BET.
summer time furlo yeah baby.!!!!!
Someone must have been passing out gum in front of the headquarters building, because these 35th st assholes can't walk and chew gum at the same time. That is why they were falling down. 14 years on the street and never fell on my ass once. Then again, I nevver came to work drunk, either. Maybe the ghost of Joe Louis was in that lot, throwing jabs and knocking people on their ass.
These are the fugg-ups running our department. Can't walk into a building without falling on their ass! But then again, you don't need much balance
when you spend most of your time on your knees.
hate to break it to ya but Ald Ed Smith is right... FOP defending this piece of excrement and utilizing our money, time and resources doing so is a fucking shame!!! He is being charged as a civilian, not as a cop... FOP you fucked up on this one BIG TIME!!!
I've fallen & I can't get up!
not surprising,,,the 011 parkling lots-both for the employees and the squads were (and are still) sheets of ice!!! Try getting up the lot ramps that have iced over!!1 GOOD LUCK!!!Cant wait to fall with an arrestee!! I get IOD ,,he gets ghetto lottery!!!
So 11 people slipped and got hurt?
I doubt it.
I've slipped on ice many a time and outside a bruise survived unscathed.
Now if the story was a bunch of people slipped and one broke his wrist or something along those lines I would tend to believe it.
This smells as bad as the stank coming off Blago right now.
I'm waiting for Shortshanks to lose the next election. I think the time is ripe for someone to pose a serious challenge like Jane Byrne did with Bilandic. Somebody will step up and throw his ass out of city hall. He's not the "papa doc" of Chicago.
I noticed the alley behind Ald. Mitt's house is very well salted
Glad I dont work at headquarters. Just make out the IOD form and go the the hospital. Enjoy the holidays from home.
JUST READ A MEMO 2 BUILDING MANAGERS DALEY WANT EVERY ENGINEER IN EVERY CITY BUILDING TO LOG HOW LONG IT TAKE TO REMOVE SNOW FROM CITY BUILDING AND THE AMOUNT OF OVER TIME ISSUED.
IN NO SCENARIO R ENGINEERS TO WORK OVERTIME FOR SNOW REMOVAL... SO ALL THE SNOW FROM MID-NITES WILL BE THERE FOR YOU TO SLIDE ON AT THE 1ST ROLL CALL IN THE MORNINGS...
DONT WORRY JUST SLIP AND FALL CAN U SPELL IOD!
OT! Chicago Homicide rate has been made into a documentary which will air sunday night 07DEC08 @ 9:00 pm on BET. Officer's, if able should watch.
12/05/2008 04:42:00 PM
yeah because BET is going to present fair and balanced reporting! what a fucking moron NO I WILL NOT WATCH BET not until there is a WET anyway
1/16 inch of ice will wach yu faster than 2 in. of snow. How much money does Daley need to save to hide in his olympic fund.
I guess the more money you steal the more you have to give to your corporate friends. Mr. Mayor, they will all be dead of old age by then.
With 11 less 35th St. employees the system will become more reliable and run a little smoother.
my ass hurts
and all 11 are out on IOD ???

not going to already said that many times over if for no other reason he thinks it will really piss off Madigan guess you actually will have to work for your pension like everyone else
You can't sue the city if you slip and fall while you are ON DUTY as long as they pay your medical bills.
You can sue a private citizen if you fall on their property.
I just want to thank the 3 Illinois State Police Officer's who assisted my daughter and her friend on I-57 tonight, I was a wreck letting her go, I had her take my car seeing it was safer, my husband just had some things checked under the hood & must not have closed it all the way. Please Thank the gas station attendent for me and again Thank You so much!!! A CPD mom.

What the fuck does this have to do with the States Atorney's Office. Have another beer asswipe
021 district parking lot was the same was thinking this is an iod waiting to happen
-----------------------------------
Better yet, use the in-car camera to back you up. When u get out to your vehicle, as u are doing the morning inspection to make sure that everything is in operational order, turn the light bar on. Then get out of the vehicle and start inspecting the front end of the car for any un-reported damage. As you do so, slip and fall and it will all be caught on the camera. Just make sure that you have one of the P.O.'s that come to your aid upload the video!
Daley is stealing so much and putting it all away for the olympics no one wants!
------------------------------
I agree. He is a Municipal equivalent of a corporate raider. he is dismantling the City 1 Billon at a time.
Im thinking that the City has to show it has enough cash, and can afford the 2016 games cause thats what the IOC wants.
In the spirit of the Chicago way, the cost overruns pay-offs etc. it will be 2046 before the "Chicago 2016" closes the books and declares the games a financial success.
Are you freaking kidding me....The FOP is gonna spend my money to represent that slim-ball Jon Burge....
-----------------------------------
And why not? He was never charged in anything and these recent perjury charges are the D.A.'s attempt of salvaging his investigation. Until there is a finding of guilty or a confession, there's a little matter of innocent until proven guilty. That little nicety is afford all the scumbags that get locked up so why not for a former P.O.?
Are you freaking kidding me....The FOP is gonna spend my money to represent that slim-ball Jon Burge....What is this Union thinking about. 18 months without a contract, no raises predicted and no hiring and they focus on this POS....I'm done....KMBA

Maybe because you are not the Police
OFF TOPIC:
WAS BURGE A MEMBER OF THE FOP?
WAS HE AROUND WHEN THE FOP WAS FORMED!
WASNT HE MANAGEMENT SHOULDNT THE CITY BEING PAYING HIS BILL AS A EXEMPT MEMBER.....
U KNOW HE WAS APPOINTED TO HIS SPOT SO WHATS THE DEAL DONA-HO.
I KNOW ALOT OF OFFICER AT 311 WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW THEY COULD GET A FREE LAWYER! 2 BAD THEY DONT WONT GO TO THE NEXT FOP MEETING.
DOES THIS MEAN J-FED IS AN FOP MEMBER TOO.
IM FUCKING CONFUSED! MUST BE THE CHEAP BOOZE AT THESE CRAPPY ASS XMAS PARTIES I WAS FORCED TO BUY TICKETS 4.
i think we should get a class action lawsuit againgst the fop and make them not waste our money on burge. are they going to pay for my lawyers 10 uears after i retire, i dont think so. is there anywhere in the contract that we can oust these irresponsible fuckers from office. that is just reckless in doing this, because burge belonged to management and not the fop
Shouldnt the union which he belonged to be the ones who are supposed to be paying for this, please advised as im a bit confused! thanks
12/05/2008 05:27:00 PM

You obviously haven't been around too long, if he was a member of ANY union, it would have been FOP in the '80's. It wasn't until 1999 that LT's had a bargaining unit.

You guys realize it is not an iod if you were not performing a police function, like transporting a prisoner, responding to a call, etc. If you just fall down and get hurt, it's considered medical.

He MADE all officers with management spots buy tickets to the Christmas party AND he had a list of names at the door to be checked off. He was pissed that people have no loyalty, etc.
Fuck you asshole! Where's your loyalty? You have to force people ---- management people---- to attend the Christmas party???? You really are a loser if your own management officers have to be forced into the Christmas party.
What I love the most is not only did I force them to BUY a ticket.....u MADE them show up. You really are a fuckng loser Roy.

And to top the cake, at the "in-person" furlough picks, it took 4 management officers to make sure they were done correctly. Not to mention one of them on FURLOUGH was getting PAID OVERTIME to be there!? In the past, there have never been more then 3 officers conducting furlough picks. Obviously, the ones Gene had, aren't competant to handle the job!
Lawsuits and workers comp for 11 employees, that's much cheaper than salting icy parking lots. Is the collective IQ in government decision making in the double digits up there?
12/05/2008 01:47:00 PM
Hey RoaVaPD - Here it's more like a collective brainfuck- go figure.
Good to see an out of state PO on the board. Be safe.
"Anyway, does anybody know, for future reference, can you sue the homeowner? if they are section 8, as most of the people are, do they still have to have some sort of home insurance policy??
Looking for answers...thank you.
12/05/2008 12:03:00 PM"
Section 8 is a rental subsidy, so, unless the renters are also the owners/landlords, via some not so clever deed hocus pocus, the owner(s) of the property are likely liable, whether they have liability insurance or not.
The key element to any insurance claim or p. i. lawsuit is proving the claim of harm caused by negligence.
Yes, you should have IOD'ed this, ER'ed yourself immediately after the event, to establish the time, location, nature and negligent cause of your harm.
WTTW.
there were several officers city wide who took headers in the parking lots throughout the 25 districts and areas.
12/05/2008 01:56:00 PM
Hey six shooter, I'll bet there were several officers who GAVE headers in the parking lots throughout the 25 districts and areas ;)
Great now the dept cant even pay ot. My direct deposit is usually in the night before and no go. I talk to finance they say checks are being cut late this afternoon and direct deposit. 1630 and no money in my account yet. This great mayor.
12/05/2008 04:23:00 PM
Hey ace, read the thingy that you signed when you signed up for direct deposit....They are doing you a FAVOR by having your $$$ there a little early.
When paytime is on a weekend, the checks are ready for pickup Friday after 2PM. This means they technically aren't good until Monday....So, as long as you have your money by Monday AM, you are not out anything. You're just upset because you didn't get the $$$ early. Quit whining.
hey 10:17,YOU DUMB FUCK ,IF YOU FALL ON DUTY ITS AN I.O.D.,STAY OFF BLOG UNTIL YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT.
What the fuck does this have to do with the States Atorney's Office. Have another beer asswipe
12/05/2008 09:13:00 PM
Well, dead fuck stole a car with key in the ignition. Every police officer knows, absent of a statement, that he would of been charged with criminal trespass to vehicle. Go back to felony review you fucking stroke. So arrogant, your a lawyer, but you make 50 G's a year, good for you.
f the men and women of the FOP let the Ex Board pay for Burge legal fee's then yiou guys are stupid. I understand that they need to take a stand at times. But you need to pick your battles wisely. Plus he wasn't a patrolman when it happened. Wasn't he a member of the Lt. Association?
Let them pay for it. It's going to be a losing cause guys.
12/05/2008 04:58:00 PM
Some current dues paying members have voluntarily chosen to do so even though they :
1. were the police when a union did not exist
2. were promoted and still paid
3. retired and still pay
4. now this one may shock you, for some goddamn reason..they believed in solidarity,comraderie,contributing to those who needed it at the time.
5. because hey were the POLICE you fuckin self centered whining x generation,never been in a fight, where's mine,momma help me,bitch!
and..you're probably a white boy on top of it.

Obviously you are another clueless 2yr wonder, the checks were due to be paid out on the 5th of Dec, which is a friday, so by them not being there, that is a problem..Know what you are talking about before you open your pie hole!!!

There was no Sgt or Lt union then. He was a member of FOP.
The other day, I encountered an icy street that had already been the cause of three accidents. None serious, thank God. But I stationed an officer at the end of the block to warn all oncoming motorist of the dangerous road conditions and left an officer at that location until a S/S ward worker came out and applied, by hand, salt from a bag that eventually rendered the street safe for passage.
Is this what it takes? Then so be it.
We, as good officers, cannot leave dangerous conditions to exist with our knowledge.
Some of the idiots on this job do nothing better than go on and off the medical. to those I say FUCK you ... because you are screwing everyone else... but to each his own so if you are on the medical I suggest you have a good reason. because people ARE watching ;)
12/05/2008 04:06:00 PM
jimmy carroll:shame on you
I HOPE I SLIP AND FALL PICKING UP THE PAY CHECKS. I'LL JUST GO OFF IN THE AMBULANCE WITH THE $$$$$$$$$$!!!!!!!!!
The sidewalks and parking lots at Homan Square are never plowed until days after a storm. And they're not plowed very well. Instead of going there in the middle of the night when there are less vehicles, they go in the middle of the day and plow and bury us in. By the time you go back to your vehicle, you have to shovel your way out.
And they never never never drop rock salt. We carry so much equipment in and out and every day you hear officers talking is today the day I'm gonna wipe out?
Hey landlord you want dope--we want safe working conditions.
Reverend Jesse Jack-you-for-some says---
"...there was a lot of black ice out on the streets this morning..."
Why does it have to be black ice? Get the picket signs ready.
"....actually it takes much more balance to be on your knees...."
Not in my experience.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
"....I bet a lot of Officers were giving headers in the station parking lots...."
Damn--last time I take time due during a snowstorm.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
I dorve by HQ and i think i saw a few of them eating yellow snow
my ass hurts

Such a sad story. If Homan Square is so dangerous, submit a par form and return to a beat car. Simple solution. Of course, give up a company car. Specialized units crying about a parking lot full of company cars. OH THE HUMANITY!

your the idiot who goes after the dime bags on a busy saturday night and then leaves the other beats to cover for you......you short midget. go away and get another dime bag when its really busy out there
"IM FUCKING CONFUSED! MUST BE THE CHEAP BOOZE AT THESE CRAPPY ASS XMAS PARTIES I WAS FORCED TO BUY TICKETS 4.
12/05/2008 09:47:00 PM"
Don't try blaming it on the booze.
Man up and 'accept responsibility'.
"Really? Where do these Dollies work& can I transfer there to see them strut their stuff??
12/05/2008 08:27:00 PM"
Do you enjoy having reoccurring nightmares?
Hate to break the news to you but just because you fall while on duty doesnt mean its an IOD anymore....A properly worded case report and IOD report will cover you tho
You guys realize it is not an iod if you were not performing a police function, like transporting a prisoner, responding to a call, etc. If you just fall down and get hurt, it's considered medical.
HUH?
"Wasn't he a member of the Lt. Association?
Let them pay for it. It's going to be a losing cause guys."
You are a two year wonder- at least find out the facts before you start a rant. No Lt union- just F.O.P. and if you don't know anyone whowas the police before the F.O.P. and St. Jane Byrne- find one and find out how bad it really was, you big whine. I'm no fan of Burge but if he's accused of something he did in relation to his police career and was a dues paying memeber- the F.O.P. board really doesn't have a choice.
You guys realize it is not an iod if you were not performing a police function, like transporting a prisoner, responding to a call, etc. If you just fall down and get hurt, it's considered medical.
===================================
WOW! Glad I didn't work with you, you! It's IOD.
Is there going to be a march at the F.O.B. hall to protest the F.O.P. deciding to pick up Burge's legal bills? If the media is reading, the F.O.P. members (police officers) are outraged at the F.O.P. boards decision to pay Burge's legal bills. I can't find one P.O. that the F.O.P. represents who agree to that bone head decision.
===================================
You're an idiot! Must be a hair gel copper. You have know idea what you are talking about. He was a FOP member and should be covered.
You should be glad our lodge is covering him, it could be you in 20 years. nuff said?
OT! Chicago Homicide rate has been made into a documentary which will air sunday night 07DEC08 @ 9:00 pm on BET. Officer's, if able should watch.
12/05/2008 04:42:00 PM
yeah because BET is going to present fair and balanced reporting! what a fucking moron NO I WILL NOT WATCH BET not until there is a WET anyway
12/05/2008 07:03:00 PM
Your a fucking moron! Watch if you want to, other wise keep your dog ass in the hole. Information was being passed so we all could see Chicago, with it's olympic dreams, look bad. Who gives a shit what network airs it or how it's portrayed. It's in the national media and that won't make the City Happy. You should worry about the 1ST and the 16TH.
So our fellow officers assigned to HQ are not your equal and only write memos? And you actually belive this? Wow!
YES, I do believe this. I do not fault them, hey, good for them. But all they do is write memos and mind everybodys business.
I think ice in the station lot is the least of our maintenance worries. In the 1st District the "new" station is literally sinking before our eyes with HUGE cracks in the walls and floors. Who is responsible for this and where is the contractor that built the place?
12/05/2008 03:30:00 PM
WALSH. Need I say more????
BTW they are the same people responsible for the sinking, sagging, cracking, creaking floors and walls at headquarters.
If you fall at work and the city does not make it an IOD, then turn around and sue the city, just like any other citizen would do. A sergeant in traffic fell off his chair and the dept said it was medical. A captain in 018 falls off a chair and it is IOD. Where is the rationalization from the city. SUE, SUE, SUE
Maybe we should go around the city putting up signs that say Mayor Daley's icy roads, Mayor Daley's snow covered streets, or Mayor Daley's potholes. After all on the propaganda channel and on all the city events everything good is Mayor Daley's ___________
Those eleven people will all have their IOD's denied (unless they are relatives of exempts) on the grounds of there was no substantive proof that the injury occurred during the course of their duties. How do I know this? Guess.
If they are sworn they will have to grieve it and hope it will be upheld as an IOD, if not sworn, tough luck.
It's cheaper that way than to get people out there to shovel and lay down soma salt on other than the holier than thou exempt cock sucker parking spots.
This is not unusual. I remember a former commander of motor maintenance who worked hard figuring out color pinstripe combinations for exempt's unmarked cars to denote rank or relative importance. blue pinstripe, red pinstripe, gold pinstripe, two narrow and one wide pinstripe etc.
The exempts were grumbling that their unmarked were the same as other people of lesser importance and that they should somehow have unmarked cars with some extra markings to denote their greater stature and importance in the hierarchy of the CPD. No joke. Around 1991-1994
God Bless our Spanglish speaking janitors in our district who maybe care about our officers more than the mayor and don't read any memos and were speading salt around.
Thanks for helping us stay safe, and always take care of those who take care of us.
if the parking lots and sidewalks around the stations are unshoveled, unplowed, unsalted, call the commanders office and complain, keep a memo of who, when and what you complained about.
Call the Streets and San Commissioner Mike Picardi at 312-744-4611 and/or Snow Command at 312-744-6460. Again keep a record.
Then when someone (you maybe)is injured, have a better chance of getting more when suing the city like everyone else does.
To the Off Topic post about Eugene Roy:
He originaly gauranteed U.S. Cellular Field 300 people for the Christmas party. When ticket sales were very sluggish,because he's such an asshole and doesn't treat the troops right, he asked U.S. Cellular Field to lower the guarantee to 250 and they reluctantly did. I heard he couldn't even get that many to buy he was lucky if there were 200 tickets sold. Hey jagoff look in the mirror and you'll see the reason that morale in 009 is in the toilet. Why would anyone in their right mind buy a ticket to "support" you when you don't support us?
As far as a list being taken of who bought tickets and who actually showed up he's done that shit before. He's used one of his top suck ass girls Amy M. for that in the past. Of course Al(4 year wonder)Garza would be more than happy to tell Eugene who he saw and who he didn't. Al(I'm head of C.A.P.S.) Garza is so far up Eugene's ass you need a tube of KY Jelly to pull him out.
It's just another pathetic tactic by a petty,vindictive asshole.
J-Fraud Christmas is coming you still have time to get this prick out of 009 and make it a Merry Christmas for 99% of the 009th district.(The other 1% would be panic stricken if they sensed that their gravy train was leaving.)
And to top the cake, at the "in-person" furlough picks, it took 4 management officers to make sure they were done correctly. Not to mention one of them on FURLOUGH was getting PAID OVERTIME to be there!? In the past, there have never been more then 3 officers conducting furlough picks. Obviously, the ones Gene had, aren't competant to handle the job!
12/05/2008 10:52:00 PM
None of his managment/admin. personnel are competant to do ANY police related job. They have never been the Police. Other than their Recrute training, oh,forgive me, that DOES make them the real police! JUST ASK THEM, THEY'LL TELL YOU.
Hey which of the 25 districts haven't been ,I need a good winter furlo
"....my ass hurts...."
So does mine, but for a very different reason.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
I'm sure all 11 of those 35th street heroes who slipped and fell went IOD and now will have Christmas and New Year's eve off. Why didn't I think of that?
Just because you get hurt at work does not always mean IOD-...You need to be in the performance of your job...otherwise COF will deny the claim as IOD-and it will become Medical....and Your responsibilty....
Such a sad story. If Homan Square is so dangerous, submit a par form and return to a beat car. Simple solution. Of course, give up a company car. Specialized units crying about a parking lot full of company cars. OH THE HUMANITY!
12/06/2008 09:11:00 AM
I dont have a company car a-hole. Its an example of another police parking lot that is never plowed.
There was lots of black ice out on the streets last night and this morning. I have to wonder if the cost to the city in lawsuits for injuries and accidents will be equal or greater than what they save on salt, trucks and streets & san salaries. My bet is that this will be a money-losing proposition,
((((((((((((((((((
Why you gots too go to there?
I is sure they is white ice that cause problemations is well, so don't just be blame on the black ice. Obama, why not you readin this racist blog?
I took a header too and landed on my ass. I hate this city and dept.
12/05/2008 12:38:00 PM
No offense, but if you took a header and landed on your ass...hmmmm.
You should be glad our lodge is covering him, it could be you in 20 years. nuff said?
12/06/2008 12:30:00 PM
Na, he's counting on the fact that he'll never be sued for anything related to his duties, which probably consist of gelling his sack hair, campaigning for Obama, and washing cars of bangers on their orders. This department is ruined, bunch of whiny liberal gangster loving punks.
THEY SHOULD DO AWAY WITH DISTRICT CHRISTMAS PARTY'S: HAVE ONE BIG PARTY AT THE END OF THE YEAR FOR ALL THE RETIREES - IF YOU WANT TO ATTEND - BUY A TICKET -
ALSO, IT'S ALWAYS BEEN AN UNWRITTEN RULE: IF YOU ARE ON MGT., OR ON TACT/GANGS YOU'D BETTER BUY A TICKET FOR THE CHRISTMAS PARTY...DON'T AGREE, BUT THAT 'S THEY WAY IT IS..

We know about the unwritten rules. Waht we are pointing out is that the fucking management people in 009 even had to be forced to go to the Christmas party. That's how much we all hate that mother fucker.
I do understand the unspoken code of, if you hate your Commander or the Bosses you work for, don't attend the Christmas Party. In reality, that is the worst thing you can do. The Christmas Party is for the retirees, not for the Commander or Bosses. I went to 3 parties this year. No, not because I love CPD parties (I do love to see all the drunks) but because 3 of my buddies were retiring. They all had a ball and it was great to see the few of us that are still left on this job.
Just the time we spent reminiscing, remembering the guys and gals that went on before us and the bullshit we talked until the parties closed down was enough for me to make sure I do this again and again.
Signed,
An old fart, looking forward to 63 next year and Mayor Daley's mandatory retirement day! What happened to the age limit being set on politicians. SCC, do a post on that!
"....gelling his sack hair...."
Interesting idea. Maybe I'll stop shaving.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
The 009th district in-person furlo picks were ridiculously overstaffed. Every sworn female that's tucked away upstairs was there to "help". The one who's on furlo but came in for O.T. should've stayed home. She's such an idiot she could fuck up a one car funeral. She fucked up timekeeping in her brief stay there and now is back to being clueless in the commanders office.
Speaking of clueless little 4 year wonder Aura also has no clue what the hell she is doing in the commanders office. The only thing she knows is that she gets to wear jeans whenever she feels like it and she's off every weekend or whatever 2 days that week she chooses. She's also deathly afraid of any type of street duty.
Then there's Sue the 3rd wheel "timekeeper". We already have one sworn timekeeper and one civilian timekeeper what in the hell is she doing in that office as another sworn timekeeper?
I guess it's just another day in the saga of "As Eugene's World Turns".
J-Fed are you there? Help!
