FOP Launches a Salvo
- Chicago Cop Watch is a website whose stated goal is to engage in monitoring of the police, videotaping police activity, and educating the public about police misconduct. The Chicago Cop Watch recently posted a video of purported police misconduct aboard a CTA bus.
The Lodge has fielded many questions regarding the CTA Bus Video that was posted on Chicago Cop Watch.org. as well as questions regarding the operation of the Chicago Cop Watch website. Unfortunately, the Lodge does not have the answers to these questions.
The registrar, administrator, or tech for Chicago Cop Watch should be able to answer our members questions.
Whois.com lists the registration contact information for the chicagocopwatch.org registrar, administrator, and tech as:
Spencer Thayer
3139 N. Francisco Ave., Apt. 2N
Chicago, IL 60618-7057
312-576-0270
spencer@uglatto.com
Please contact Mr. Thayer with your questions regarding the video or operation of the website.
Looks like someone found a pair. Now how about someone at 35th finding a set? Or at least asking the mayor if they could borrow a set for a day or two?

Found the asshat's resume. Had to do it in google cache since he took his website down.

I would think that a complete and thorough investigation would include a State's Attorney's grand jury subpoena to chicagocopwatch (and any other persons/companies/individuals) for any and all video and other records that relate to this incident, in an effort to conduct a full and fair inquiry into this incident....no?
OT but very important
Hey Everyone ,
I have organized a group of guys on my Tact Team to participate in St. Baldricks this year.
St. Baldrick's is the world's largest volunteer-driven fund raising event for childhood cancer research. Thousands of volunteers shave their heads in solidarity of children with cancer, while requesting donations of support from friends and family.
We will be shaving our heads together on March 6th( that is only two more weeks)at Area 2. We decided to do this in honor of Mia Sanchez. Mia is the daughter of Carlos and Lupe Sanchez who are both Police officers who work with me in the 004th district. Mia lost her battle with brain Cancer just shy of her 3rd Birthday and now is an Angel watching over all of us everyday. I am asking each of you for your support, Any donation received is greatly appreciated. Please visit the St. baldricks website and search for our donation page by entering: cpd 4th district tact in the search for a participant/team box.
Web site: www.stbaldricks.org
I'd bet a sawbuck that the Thayer listed is Andy Thayers brother.
Didnt Andy get himself locked up by Car 47 and a foot guy for trying to disrupt a presidential motorcade in '08 somewhere in the loop?
By the way- if you dont know who Andy is just google his name. Just over 600,000 hits on his name. Professional protestor. Daley and Thayer have one thing(for sure) in common...
That is a Hatred of the CPD
phone number as given is "not a working number" Ill go by the address and check if he/she/it is actually there and report back .Hope I dont get caught on cam hahahah

Flood that little punks email in box. Dont make threats, just let him know what a punk ass bitch he really is. Spencer, YOU SUCK. YOUR A PUSSY!
SCC -
You know I love ya BUT it really is/was wrong of you to post this clown's address. Yes, yes, I get it that the FOP already did that but that's their bad move. Now this goofball from that Cop Watch Club of Losers can (possibly) come back at you/your blog for jeopardizing his safety or some other bullshit trumped up nonsense. This idiot just looks for reasons to bitch about the police and now, sadly, you have given him another one. Just looking out for your best interest is all I'm saying.
If you call this guy, just be careful what you say and where you call from. Asshole probably has a disclaimer that all calls are recorded.
But give him hell! I plan to!!!!
Payphone? Calling card?
just don't write him 14 tickets if you find his car at that address.
Hey spencer, how do you like being famous?
This posting by SSC and by the FOP disappoints me. Even more disappointing are the comments by people planning on harassing him.
Perhaps the brothers feel that they are "Community Activists?"
Do they perceive this as the first step to political nirvana?
At least in the days of yore, appointed officials like the U.S. Attorney would throw coppers under the bus, as a prelude to greatness, like the Gov's office.
Uh Oh Spencer!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hey...the little guy has moved here from Springfield to show us about life in the big city.
I don’t have a problem with video taping, but what I observed on this particular video of the CTA bus was bullshit, if you want an objective video tapping of an arrest you don’t highlight actions to incite that are NOT there. But that’s the whole objective behind this “cop watch”, it’s to incite. I assure you that this asshole will show only video that resembles what he wants to exploit, not what is actually happening.
This website is attempting to recruit people to run around and get in the face of coppers making arrests claiming they have a right to be on the public way, well I disagree, you have a right till you interfere with an arrest, you have a right till your deemed to be in a hazard or creating one, if you refuse, then you have a right to be arrested and tell a judge.
You also may find your video tape immediately impounded to be used as evidence in your arrest or of the arrest or incident you video taped, and, God forbid, in the event of distracting officer(s) one gets injured because you distracted them from an immediate threat, because you had to get in their face or refused to move to a safer location and they had to argue with you, then you have a right to get arrested and/or sued…
I really believe that this group is nothing more then an antagonistic group that has false objectives, you proved that on the first video regarding the bus…
H.P.
He refers to himself as "Thunderball" on his website. HA! HA!

**************
Anyone with half a brain (not you apparently) can find it all over the internet. SCC did not post anything that is not already out there. If Mr. Thayer is so concerned about his safety it does not show. There are ways to start sights without anyone knowing who you are, right SCC?
If he and Andrew Thayer are one in the same doesn't Andrew work at Levy and associates?
ANDY Thayer works at Loevy & Loevy. Careful. He is a real piece of shit. ETHICAL lawyers have left the Loevy office on protest of Thayer's employment there.

ahh little one of no clue, you could do a zaba search and get the idiots address not to hard! So don't use the blame excuse asshat1
spencer started the battle he may win this battle but the war you have to be shitting me!
Thayer is an idiot because he did not take the basic steps to protect his personal information in whois, all because he is too cheap to pay 9 bucks a year.
When the FOP posted the phone number the line was already disconnected as I tried the number right after the video was posted in the Sun-Times.
SCC smart move in not posting my posting with Good Old Spence's info (address) before it became more public by the FOP. (WHOIS records are public)
I advocate an end to playing nice with Critical Mass, another "project" Thayer is involved with.
To be honest I have a bone with them. I couldn't get to Children's Memorial one evening for 20 minutes while they whooped it up. Had my child been extremely ill, would the ambulance had been blocked ? Had my child been very ill and in my car, I wouldn't have thought twice about running over the idiot carrying on in front of me as if he was made of rubber.
Fuck Spencer Thayer and Fuck Critical Mass and Fuck any high ranking city official who supports them !!! I feel better now.
God Bless all CPD.
As I watched the video of the Officer, doing his job to remove the man from the bus for not paying his fare, my thoughts went back to the night when Officer Richard Francis was murdered. I really don't know what the similarities actually are, but there was a bus, a person out of control, and an Officer doing his job to protect the citizens. At any moment it could have all gone wrong. Thank God it didn't, and the Officer went home at the end of his watch, safe and sound. Instead of holding a camera and asking the Officer for his Star Number, the question should have been, "Officer, do you need any help?" The way it appeared to me, the whole scene was a set up, by the person with the camera. How can we call ourselves men and women of good will if we sit by and just watch as someone is in a dangerous situation, be it John Q Public, or a sworn Law Enforcement Officer? Be not afraid. Thank you for being the Police.
Hey Mr. Douche Bag, come follow me around ALLLLLL DAY!
I'll tell the Citz that you are keeping me from doing my job. It will take some time but eventually ONE them will kick your nuts in.
I hope to get THAT on tape!
3. I do not consent to a search.
Don't worry. You don't have to
What's weird is that Chicago Cop Watch (dork) is against the Chicago Olympics also!!

Here in lies the hypocracy of the Chicago Citizen. When THEY are being bothered they want some one to take care of the problem. But as long as THEY are not being bothered, they consider you stepping over an imaginary line.
I for one WILL NOT put my hands on anyone untill I have signed complaints first!
Battery, Assault, Disorderly, Theft whatever. Don't matter to me. Otherwise, let that prick sit on the bus.
"19P Squad. No Complainant."
The days of "I'll take care of this" ARE OVER.

please use caution as he probably has the "unblock private call" on his phone. a fax was recently sent city-wide regarding this "new" program anyone can purchase. It isn't new there are at least three different programs which will "unblock" your information and you ARE COMPLETELY UNAWARE of this so please be careful.
Look at his Facebook page. He is friends with none other than....Bill Ayers!

Spencer......see what happens when yuppies smoke crack and have kids?
If anyone makes a phone call to this guy don't say that you are the police, block your number, etc... Don't give this douche anymore than the 15 mins he already made for himself. Look at his resume posted earlier in these comments, what a joke!

It's not illegal to post someone's information. The domain registration is publically available through whois. I already posted this a week ago on Shaved's blog, come and get me Mr. Thayer. If someone decides to use that information for illicit purposes that's their problem.
Here's some more info off his other domain. I have no idea if his Springfield address is still valid.

If you're gonna call this asshat do it off a payphone or spoof the Scum Times' caller ID.

Oh My God, everyone has got to take a look at SPENCER'S "resume." This guy isn't a BARRISTER, he was a BARISTA---served coffee!!!!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Oh yeah, this guy is educated--LINCOLN LAND COLLEGE???? For the love of God.
We already knew he was a dipshit....his own resume now proves it beyond a reasonable doubt!!!!!!
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!
What a litte TURD!!!!!!!
I seriously can't stop laughing!!!!
Spencer, Spencer, Spencer....I'm so glad your life is such a joke that it makes others laugh!!!
Go back to Momma's basement.
Although the offer is still open to come hang out on the West side...be sure to wear your diaper!!!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Why isn't THAYER under arrest????
Is anyone investigating his complicity in creating an unsafe environment for all passengers on the bus???
Isn't this at least a disorderly?
He should be in jail, as well as the other 'piss bum', who actually looked like he could've been li'l Spence's roommate.

hippy in the pics
i think little spencer never got over being forced to wear the "kick me" sign at band camp... probably a copper's kid that picked on him...
Andy Thayer was the guy who organized that march on LSD in 2003. He's also a friend of Billy Ocasio of the 26th Ward (Logan Square).
Looked at the website....quite detailed!!! Just be aware that they have posted that they have scanners they monitor to rush to the scene of things. They even go so far as to rent cars to "patrol". They claim to merely be observers, not instigators, but yeah right! Just watch your backs everyone.
Hey SCC:
If this spencer thayer is really andy thayers brother that would be an interesting connection. In addition to being a professional protester, Andy Thayer is a paralegal at a civil rights law firm that secializes in police brutality cases.

Is cop watch just a scheme to set up cops and tape them for this firm to drum up biz?
He also drives a van festooned with "CopWatch" signs on the outbound Kennedy in the early afternoon. You can't miss it.
Who cares? Ignore the little punk and the rest of his kind. They're nothing. Little punk cowards. Don't waste your time on them.

I advocate EVERY incensed member to FLOOD his job with protest calls,send protest faxes,(via Library untraceable of course) and CONTINUE this until he gets canned from the place he works. Hey if he can do it WE CAN DO IT.

*******************************
Agreed. I saw them right around the same place once and there actually was an ambulance trying to get through the crowd of bikes and having some trouble. Bunch of idiots...I don't think the way to make people agree with your opinions is to piss them off for 20 minutes by blocking the roads.
Oh, and did anyone see his "Kick Boeing to the Curb" website linked from his resume? Yeah, great idea, let's get rid of a multi-billion dollar company that's one of the area's biggest employers because Spencer Jagoff thinks they're "war profiteers." What a moron.
Ninel POMPOSUKO owns is listed as President/whatever of The T-Shirt Deli, and fortunately for them, they do have a business license. But just because Spencer SPAYED isn't an officer doesn't mean he's not affiliated w/him. It was just a thought. Thanks for providing the name. We should bombard that place too.
Just saw his pic---he is one UGLY ass little punk! Eeeeeewwwww!
I'm going to join Copwatch. I will report back. He will never know what hit him. Right now he's probably hurting for members. I'll go to the meetings, whatever. We'll see what dumbass is up to from the INSIDE. Why didn't I think of this before?????
due to the comments added on the video could the officer sue this guy? I'm no lawyer nor would I ever want to be one but it seems to me that this guy was try to destroy the officers reputation and career.
It would be nice if the FOP used the current letterhead with the current board of directors on it. Freakin joke. Must have had a surplus they were trying to get rid of.
I don't think I have to worry about Spencer filming in the ghetto....
If you're gonna call this asshat do it off a payphone or spoof the Scum Times' caller ID.
***********************************
Big man. This just oozes integrity. This is how the Chicago Police operate. That's it. I'm writing a book all about it. I know too much to keep it to myself.
I go to this strokes website and the first thing I read is him bashing the first responders that died at 9/11. He seemed especially upset that only 23 policeman died as compared to 343 firefighters.
You are a backseat driver, u are to afraid to get involved when the action is happening, but you have no problem bashing the way we handle the situations. You know living in the U.S. we do have free speech, but if you hate our Country so much and the way it is protected, guess what you are also free to live... I for one would help finance your move to let's say Somalia, Rwanda, were their truly is atrocious things happening and see if you can help them. Pretty good chance they would throw you in a tub of oil and burn you alive..
God forbid the public expect the police to explain their position in connection to its interaction with the public. I guess its just God, the police, and the rest of us then.
Nice!!
Now then since we (well youse guys) are a collective TEAM EFFORT, I might suggest we put all our heads together and devise a way or two (legally of course) to "deal with" Mr Thayer. While he is afforded freedom of speech,there ARE limits.(inciteful,slander,defamatory ect)Never forget that your's is an Honorable Position and that while your peace cannot be disturbed(especially while on lunch hahah) there comes a time when ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. I dealt with shitbags like Thayer in the projects thinking that their little cameras were a shield for them that they more than willingly hid behind. Most of them are now EVICTED. See how that works? Lets START with Obstruction,Interference,Disorderly,Aggravated Mopery,and then lets protest electronically his job,his home,his silly web page,and lets have a graphics guy make a "public enemy #1" Poster with his likeness. I will NEVER till my last day look at youu guys as anyting less than the best(except the desk crew on 3rd at 019) (joking) This guy is a gnat. Swat him once and he will go away. Get my drift?
Mississippi Madman and Project Pitbull.....AKA Chubbie.
there was no violation of his citizens rights when dumbo refused to get off the bus when he did not pay to ride the bus in the first place.
What is all the comotion about? If you do not pay, you cannot ride. It looks as if the officer took too much time askign the goof to get off -h ehsould have got on the bus, took goofy in the collar and threw him off of the bus and everyone's commute could have went on faster....
So much for the "I got your back" video. A hard worker in our district received a court infraction for, ready for this, fgailing to sign out of an impound hearing. The kicker is his overtime slip was only for 1 hour 5mins. It's not like he was trying to steal time. And he says he remembers signing out but he may have signed on a different page by mistake. So his sgt. has to initiaate a spar but makes it "Violation Noted-No Disciplinary Action". Well guess what. It gets kicked back by our fearless leader Doty. He has to get a reprimand which means that he is now one step closer to getting day if he does screw up. Then the sgt. at Patterson's office couldn't even give an answer as to why that choice could not be used and what is the purpose of having it if it can't be used. Again no answer. So much for having your backs for honest mistakes. Now we have one more officer who won't do shit for a while. I just don't understand why we have a morale problem.
so... marky mark & the funky bunch climbed from under shortshanks desk to fire a broadside for the membership huh?
meh... i've seen more fireworks from a bunch of kids with super-soakers.
justify yourselves to the membership... you're not fighting hard enough or dirty enough against that little imp from the 5th floor. like an old copper once told me, "if ya that close to the devil, bite his fuckin' nose off instead of waitin' for him to kiss ya."
Dear Spencer,my offer still stands.There are a couple of Spencer's on the Westside that are just dying to meet you.Also remember extra strength depends,the one that are labeled "deeper-ends" because once Westside Spencer gets hold of you,you won't be able to sit for a year.You will need an ass transplant."YOU SHO GOTS A PURDY MOUF"
I think you guys are being too rough on ol' Spence--although he and my 5-year-old nephew both contribute nothing to society, at least Spence can pour a cup of hot coffee with minimal spillage
