Congrats Tommy!!!!It's been a long day coming. ur real friends and family knew u were innocent. Fuck this city and county!!!!God bless u and family!!!!
Looks like the SA Office used way too large a net in arresting SOS guys. Wouldn't surprise me if they Nolle'd the cases against more guys in the future. Hope the good ones are able to get their jobs back.
You don't have to be making D-2 pay to see that something bigger is in the works. Read between the lines...the cryptic statement by the State's Attorney's office that AFTER speaking with the Feds, all charges were dropped. A few short days ago, M. Tobias gets moved to HQ. Sounds like the Feds have bigger fish to fry! But how far up will it go....how far will Daley let it?!?!?!?!?!
Carl and Tom....CONGRATS! Best news I've heard in a while. Weis, do the right thing and give them their jobs back. It would do a lot for morale and make you appear that you may really care about this department.
Now the states case is flopped and we all knew it would, the feds will take over.Blanket style in-justice. The feds version of reckless conduct. Anyways I am glad for the guys, not that piece of crap Herrera though
Good for Tom and Carl, they proclaimed their innocence from the get-go and stuck to it through it all, if Weis is smart he will put them back to work, if he tries to do what he did with Cozzi this department will really stop in it's tracks, he better be very careful with this one...
"But Weis did say: "We have guys who have been in purgatory. It's time to fish or cut bait."
Really? Well the Rank&File knew it was "Fish On!" when it came to Bill Cozzi. Recent indicators would lead one to the conclusion Sherry & Suchocki haven't seen the last of investigators knocking @ their doors.
Well at least the story about the copper from 004 charged with kiddie porn balances it all out...we can't have too much pro-police news without the negative in the same day!
Ain't like they are gonna get their jobs back. Jody is just gonna call his fed buddies and have the re-arrested.
Hmm imagine that....Some more SOS officers that ain't criminals after all. Hmmmmm. Guess SOS ain't the blame for the departments probelms. What are we down to 3 officers now still left with charges......Shit that less than any district. Maybe some bosses will wise up to that fact and take the brick off the rest of us....Probably not what am I thinking
well i would like to thank all of the backstabbers in the cpd who had put all of these guys away in the penitentary without knowing all of the facts... for over a year people on this site have been mf'n all of those guys and everyone in sos without waiting for the outcome. now look, the "victims" and "witnesses" are being found to be full of sh*t. the only reason finnegan and hererra are still locked up is because hererra talked. if he would have shut his mouth he would have had charges dropped too and the only thing finnegan would have had to face is the hired hit that he was orginaizing...that is inexcusable on his part, but after all is said and done, i see hererra getting probation and finnegan getting 10-15 years. Way to stand behind your guys cpd.. i hope these two officers sue the sh*t out of the city, states attorney, us attorney, the victims and who ever the hell else they can get money from!
ive noticed...all of the news stations didnt even mention it on the 4-5-and 6 o clock news....hhmmmmmmm, charges dropped and not even a whisper on the news... charges brought and we have to hear about it for months
to paraphrase the resident old guy, i'd imagine the city still wouldn't let the truth get in the way of a good scalp hunt, umm investigation.
congrats & a sip of 133 proof bourbon to these officers. we would hope that they would be made whole for their grief and aggravation but you can be sure j-fart has already "asked" his feeb buddies to prepare a special lube of bengay & metal shavings... we should sincerely hope that he would see no need to seek further punishment. hey j-fart, if you wanna punish someone sic the federal hounds on the subjects of interest in the Ofc. Vaszquez tragedy...
Hopefully for the guys involved a valuable lesson was learned and the feds are not looking to place charges. Hopefully this story dies out and the officer can get back to their lives.
If they are smart, they will walk away from the CPD and the city of Shitcago forever.
If they try to come back, this crooked town will burn them just like Cozzi.
Make a deal for back pay, then walk away. Start a new life. Forget you were ever the police. It's just not worth it to come back. It's not even worth living anywhere near this hole.
good for them, glad to see everything worked out and they are back with there families. will they be allowed to get there jobs back? after all, they cant even be placed at the scene of the crime... if the glove dont fit.. then you must aquit!
Just wondering if all of you who quickly judged these men are man enough yourself to say you were wrong!! Possibly, just possibly this was a case of malicious prosecution with questionable victims who themselves generated a ficticious story to avoid prosecution. Let us reflect on why someone looking at a ghetto lottery payday would discontinue to cooperate with the persecution/prosecution of these two officers? I have to say this job has very little loyalty within the ranks. The comments leveled here in this site from officers were no different then the same mindset the world has of the police, guilty until proven innocent. Shame on all of you quick to judge, slow to forgive. I hope you never have the same standard you judged by applied to you.
There are more important issues like: 1. our contract 2. cozzi's travesty 3. the mayor's indictment 4. quinn for mayor 5. chgo's bond rating 6. our dwindling manpower 7. our equipment 8. a shamefull supt. etcetera, so why keep beating the sos horse. crime was down.
Tom and Carl- F$#k this city, sue the hell out of the city and county prosecutors and run like hell. Don't even think of coming back- you'll be marked for the rest of your careers and end up inside with the rest of the house mice. Good luck.
It's still not over though. The Beady Eyed Fed is gonna make his move to get them federally indicted. I trust him as far as I can drool down my own chin.
Chicago Sun-Times Editor in Chief Michael Cooke announced his resignation today and said he will become editor of Canada’s largest newspaper, the Toronto Star.
The Toronto Star is finished now, the Canadians can get a dose of fairy tales now.
Sounds more like "SOS Case Moving Onto A Higher Plane."
"Assistant State's Atty. David Navarro only told Judge John Fleming that prosecutors were dropping the charges against the men as part of the 'ongoing joint state and federal investigation.' He declined further comment.
"In a statement, the Cook County state's attorney's office said it dismissed charges against the two officers 'in furtherance of an ongoing investigation with the U.S. attorney's office.'
"State's Atty. Anita Alvarez said in the statement that her office 'agreed to dismiss the charges in consultation with the U.S. attorney's office.'
"The U.S. Attorney's office and the FBI have for years been probing whether police supervisors covered up the misconduct, allowing the officers to rack up hundreds of similar complaints from citizens."
Please do a post on the 5th District Congressional Race for Rahm Emanuel's vacated seat.
What a zoo that is turning into. There are three MD's running and something like 23 candidates. You one aldercreature, one Crook County Commisioner and two state legislators running. You have to take a look at this race, it is fricking hilarious.
You need a scorecard to keep track of the players, looks like a "Machine" implosion. I think you have every ethnic group running too.
If you didn't hear the Blago WLS AM radio interview with Don and Roma, it is a must.
Definitely the best Blago interview so far, I am really beginning to like Blago. This guy is sharp as a tack and he is leveling direct line threats now. He is exposing the "culture of corruption" very subtly. I never voted for him but I have to respect his brilliance and balls. He really does have testicular verility,LMAO.
A 27-year-old Chicago police officer has been charged with possessing child pornography and ordered held on a $100,000 bail.
Eric Hargrove was charged after a search of his Mount Greenwood home turned up pornographic images on a computer of boys as young as 12, assistant Cook Couny state’s attorney Kathy Muldoon said.
One arrest after another....remember it aint over until the fat lady sings! as to Sherry and his side kick get out of town before sunset!
could have been you too keith....but you had to talk. listen people, if the feds come knocking...you say, i want my lawyer, and ill see you at trial. good for the two officers that were found innocent
U.S. Atty Patrick Fitzgerald To Remain In Chicago CHICAGO (CBS) ―
Corruption-buster Patrick Fitzgerald will be staying on as Chicago's federal prosecutor, CBS 2 has confirmed.
Sources in Washington say President Barack Obama is making good on his campaign promise to keep Fitzgerald on the job.
Fitzgerald was appointed by the Bush Administration. This is the first time in the last three decades that a GOP appointee is being held over by an incoming Democratic president.
CBS 2 Political Producer Ed Marshall contributed to this report.
i wouldnt break out the bubblie if i were those guys. j-fed is gonna throw them under the bus. but remember..he s got our backs! well he s got female/hispanic/white shirt/LAPA back !
GOD bless them all..... from the ones that were arrested, incarcerated,fired and resigned....
Just goes to show, real proof the states attorneys office is operarted by a whole bunch of incompetent a.s.a.
Why were they even arrested in the first place if there was a question???????? regarding their identity. Wasn't there photo arrays and physical lineups for probable cause, were they ever "positively identified" before being arrested and charged.
This incident represented the "real police"(s.o.s.)of the C.P.D. now just a legacy gone forever. A clear rush to judgement this was not a professionally conducted investigation by I.A.D. and the S.A.O. All of this misfortune for the C.P.D. and the families of the accused. This could have been avoided by proper supervision/disciplinary action, way before it ever turned into any criminal intent/actions. The dept. can put new bosses in place make up new units and copy cat any prime time tv shows name. But the real soul of the C.P.D. (morale) is scarred beyond any homeopathy healing remedy.
CONFIRMED J FED DID GET A TICKET TODAY AT 014 FOR PARKING ON THE CROSS WALK. THE PO WAS ORDERED TO NON-SUIT IT BY W/C. HE SHOULD HAVE WROTE HIM TWO TICKETS SEEING THAT HI SUV HAS TINTED WINDOWS ALL THE WAY AROUND.

Not for a moment should anyone think that this is the end for either Suchocki or Sherry. They're merely being turned over to the Feds. Wouldn't be surprised if they're not already in Federal custody. There is also zero chance that either will ever be back on the job. This was not a finding of innocense it was merely the State declining to prosecute at this time. State can always reindict.
How Come I go to Area 1 to get a pool car for my all ready aging and falling apart Crown Victoria and all of the cars are signed out to unit 141 out of head quarters. What the fuck to them useless house mouses need unmarked cars for? Let alone cars at all?
The FEDS are going to indict them. The state case was shit put together by moron states attorney investigators. Herrera and Finnigan are singing to the feds,Carl and tom get ready for a 6am knock on the door by the FBI. You were better off in state court the feds actually have a clue.
JFED was at cambell/division today and was given a ticket for tinted windows. But later the ticket was nonsuited.
Anyone confirm?
2/11/2009 06:54:00 PM
Yes it is true the officer was told by the w/c to non suited immediately after he had heard about the citation, the officer did his job and wrote the suv up for tints, it seems the law does not apply to j-fed. Perfect example of do as i say not as i do, and the usual case of a w/c who doesn t have the balls to stand by his ofc. I guess accountability doesn t start at the top, but only enforced at the buttom. AND TOO J-FED DC LUCIO A.K.A EDDIE MUNSTER AND EVERY KISS ASS W/C SGT FROM THE 014TH DIST.

I smell two beefers,tell on the boss and all sins are forgiven.Those two are just as guilty as the one in the federal country club!Let them back and this department is a joke,oh it already is!!
This case isn't falling apart...they're playing "Monte Hall" with the Feds. See the Vasquez story on FOX News at 9? Find it a little ironic that these two were "released by SA request" ? Call me skeptical....
Why is Beatrice Cuello still on this job? Come on!! I don't care how much of a great boss I think she is, reality is reality. How can the Police Board and the Mayor still allow this madness?
if the state wont prosecute at all the feds definatly will not. the feds do not prosecute unless they have an absolute rock solid case. the state dropped charges because the victims could not place them there. if the victims cant put them there once and charges are dropped, the feds definatly will not pick it up due to the fact that now most if not all the evidence against the two is tainted. its not because they are getting a deal to get the top guys...its simple, they have no where else to go. it was a different case against cozzi, he pled guilty in court and it was all on video. that case was an open and shut case for the feds, no investigation even needed. for the sos thing however, there is no evidence, in fact there now is evidence that has been contridicted by the victims which in the end run will be desasterous for everyone attempting to prosecute. these guys got off, if there is a federal indictment it will be to only save face, i see no productive sentences or even findings of guilty if there is a federal indictment. the entire investigation was a knee jerk reaction and they didnt do the homework they should have. if they would have been patient and really investigated this, then it may be an entirely different story.
well i would like to thank all of the backstabbers in the cpd who had put all of these guys away in the penitentary without knowing all of the facts... ___________________________________

Congrats Tommy!!!!It's been a long day coming. ur real friends and family knew u were innocent. Fuck this city and county!!!!God bless u and family!!!!
2/11/2009 02:43:00 PM
ahhh just like those who pledged support for mette but failed to show up at the FOP hall for his welcome home, the friends of tom sherry and carl suchoki are coming out of the wood work!!! Never so much a peep on this blog about either of them, now ALL OF A SUDDEN some dick wad has the fucking audacity to come out now??? FUCK YOU! Without going into it, I have been by Tom's side during this entire event... some of his best friends have abandoned him... so to put something, anonymously nonetheless, on a blog congratulating him??? Save it... It is a fucking insult TRUST ME he doesnt want it! So before any of you even dare mention his name, just remember, if you havent spoke with him in the past year, please, do not bother!!! Tom is a sharp guy, and he will get his vengeance...in this life or the next!!
Really? Well the Rank&File knew it was "Fish On!" when it came to Bill Cozzi. Recent indicators would lead one to the conclusion Sherry & Suchocki haven't seen the last of investigators knocking @ their doors.
2/11/2009 04:02:00 PM
well, lets see... No victim could put Tom or Carl at the scene of any crime... Cozzi was on tape at the scene of a crime... so, no, not similar not even close!
Finally some good news. For those of you who stopped calling them or turned away when you saw them at the store....you should be ashamed to call yourselves friends! Tommy is and always has been a great guy and Carl has been a goofy muscle head but a good guy deep down. Godbless boys... now sue the hell out of the city.
WHERE WERE ALL THESE COMMENTS OF UNENDING SUPPORT 6 MONTHS AGO??? You people are hypocrites and cowards!!! Not a single word about these guys until they are exonerated!!! Im not saying I thought they were 100% innocent but Im not getting on my knees either!!! Gimme a break! Watch them get indicted by a federal grand jury tomorrow and NONE of you, NOT A SINGLE ONE will utter the names Tom Sherry or Carl Suchoki! That is some ball-less bullshit! sorry for the harsh words, SCC, but this hits close to home for me! Unreal
could have been you too keith....but you had to talk. listen people, if the feds come knocking...you say, i want my lawyer, and ill see you at trial. good for the two officers that were found innocent
2/11/2009 07:11:00 PM
feds had nothing to do with the charges being dropped dumb fuck... as a matter of fact, watch and see Keith turn fed witness against them and be the only one walking it is amazing how attention to detail just doesnt matter to some! Must be an ex-marine! SEMPER FI
despite the fact that they are on camera in the bar....yeah lets bring them back thats a great idea they did soooooooooo much great work....i.e home invasions black mail, robbery ect... just because S.A are pretty much worthless doesn't mean that these guys are innocent. Get Real people these guys are the people responsible for fucking up the department and giving Daily the excuse to stick it in our ass's. No wonder why this department is a laughing stock of law enforcement. It's people like 243 pm and 315 pm that are the problem with this department. unbelievable!
Ok, I'll be the first to say it...I didn't believe "all along" that these guys were innocent. When you look at the big players in all of this like that pos JF, it was hard to not make assumptions about the rest. I'm just as guilty as the liberal media that I despise in that respect. However, that doesn't mean that I'm not happy to hear this latest news. It's good news for them and for the department. I hope that this is truly the end for them and they are able to put all of this in the past. We fool ourselves into thinking that we are not as quick to pass judgement as the media, liberals and other police haters out there, but we often fall into the same trap. Lesson learned.
Glad to see Tommy and Carl getting justice like I knew they would. I have been with them the whole way.
Also anyone in 023 who has something to say to me about my support fo my friends just come and talk to me. If you you can't say it to me GFYS you worthless pussy.
I could be wrong, but isn't J-Feds ride a department vehicle? Stop with the "had to non-suit a ticket" crap. I don't like him any more than you, but you want him to pay a ticket for a department vehicle that has tints? If I'm right, you're a bunch of asshats. If I'm wrong and it is his own personal acr, he should have been written and payed the ticket and not complained. I don't think I'm wrong though.
Never thought Sherry took anything. Was always a case of mistaken identity. Suchocki, well I don't know. Obviously absolved in court. What did he know though? And why is Herrerra a rat? He admitted to stealing. Don't we fight against the "stop snitchin" attitude everyday? From all the rumors I've heard the rest of them have already plead guilty. Innocent men do not plead guilty. Just sayin. Also, this isn't a thin blue line thing where we back each other up while doing real police work. These guys were thieves and no one wants to say it. Have some pride in what you do and stand up for whats right. Being a thug isn't right.Finnigan was/is a thug.

Oh Please, enough with the sanctimonious bs. J-Pud was on duty with his company car. We non suit parkers on unmarkeds and coverts all the time. This is no big deal just because its J-Pud. Non suiting a parker is no big deal. I am sure the copper who wrote it cares not a wit and has nothing to do with the DC or WC standing behind him. It would be much much differnet if it was a mover.

calls it what you wants, we are two look up two you,...it is twooo bad that you don't control this yourselves...
I'm a detective, on the job more than 25 years now, and I know this girl who's done some legal work and legal research on this case (pro-bonon btw because she grew up in a cop family) and she's found more than a dozen loop holes in the State's case. Says she's confident that all these guys will get off because of illegal taps, innapropriate confessions, sloppy work on part of State and problems with the warrants, etc. Says it isn't looking too good for the case against these SOS guys because the State's attorney (and Shortshanks' team) was too quick to jump on these guys. Also points out that there is a lack of witness cooperation and without that, States Attorney has not real case. Before you all blow alot of shit my way, just trust me that this girl is good. She helped get Mette back to us. And guys - not only is she smart & educated but she's hot too! Let me know if you need assistance from her. AHM...hmmm...mean legal assistance.
You are god damn right! You have never met a nicer woman. Mrs. S. is top notch. Always has been, always will be. She raised great kids and is a classy lady. I have known Carl for years and I never believed he could have done this. Congratulations Carl. And make sure you stick it to the proper individuals.
61st and Major ______________________________________ I called the FOp office the other day and spoke to Mrs Suchocki
She is such a nice lady and I was thinking how her heart must be broken over this
i know my mother would have had devistated had it happened to me
Now her son has been vindicated and the whole family must be on Cloud 9
Im very happy for all of the entire police family and especially for her
to the pussy who said cooter n tony called somebody an asshole in sos. There was alpt of assholes there.maybe they are and so are to not sign your name. Tell us to our face Tony and cooter
RE: well i would like to thank all of the backstabbers in the cpd who had put all of these guys away in the penitentary without knowing all of the facts... for over a year people on this site have been mf'n all of those guys and everyone in sos without waiting for the outcome. now look, the "victims" and "witnesses" are being found to be full of sh*t. the only reason finnegan and hererra are still locked up is because hererra talked. if he would have shut his mouth he would have had charges dropped too and the only thing finnegan would have had to face is the hired hit that he was orginaizing...that is inexcusable on his part, but after all is said and done, i see hererra getting probation and finnegan getting 10-15 years.

spoken like a true SOS... If he hadn't talked??? and all finnegan would of had if the 'Hired Hit' charge, whew!! yea what a shame.. YOU SIR,,, are an idiot!!!!
I sure hope I am wrong and the G doesn't grab this one, but in order for the Feds to pick it up and indict the case the state has to nolle. That is the only way they will take it. I hope they put it to rest but i doubt it. Good luck TS and Carl.
BM 023 has always stood by his friends since the beginning one way or another. God bless him for being loyal. Are you jealous because his stories about being the real police are better than yours. He is a good guy with a good heart. STFU.
i hope the feds are not planning on charging these guys? secondly, don't come back. just sue the shit out of everyone involved. if you do come back, buy a dvd player and sit in the squad like everyone else.
Hey Carl all I can say is you know who your friends are and the people who care about you and your family. Just remember the people who kept in touch and wished your dear mom happy birthday today. Best of luck bro.
"well, lets see... No victim could put Tom or Carl at the scene of any crime... Cozzi was on tape at the scene of a crime... so, no, not similar not even close!
2/11/2009 10:49:00 PM"
No victim came forward to testify. It was in reference to the Weis statement fish or cut bait. He went after Cozzi after he paid his penanance and was cleared by the Police Board to return to duty. If you can't see the witch hunt in getting the pound of flesh, either your head is completely up you ass or you're just plain stupid. Apparently a combination of BOTH!!
I am very happy that these two guys are out this mess.I never thought they did what they were accused of.This will all play out in the courtroom and in the news media.All of you should remember that any one of us can have CR#s, allegations made against us by any citizen/or criminal at anytime. Be careful out there and stay safe on duty and off duty.
I CAN'T BELIEVE ALL THIS B S One minute your m f n these guys..and the next your prasing them... The case was thrown out out for lack of evidence and witnesses cooperation...................doesn't mean it did not happen............ No one wants to see anyone go to jail........but do you really think they are gonna get their jobs back...............Leave well enough alone and move on.........................otherwise......you'll end up like Cozzie....................
Speaking of handjobs....Blaming SOS was childish. Yes we all want to be Varsity letterman but as any athelete knows, it comes down to who you know, unless ur that good.(really?)
You see kids, I have worked in a lot of places,I have met a lot of dynamite cops, but!. I have never seen a UNIT of top notch coppers as SOS. Were there some weak cops there?, of course. Just like any unit.
DID it take juice to get there? OF course. Did they do the job? You bet ur sweet ass!
I loathe the sacred asshole who has connections. You see, I learned from guys with 10-30 yrs on how to "really" do the job.I thought I knew. Boy did I have a reckoning. I thought I was good with 4 on then I met the best.
Do you understand, when a cop got hurt or shot, we were sent in? Why?
Who do they send now?
Maybe we were not the best but I do know, we kicked ass when we had to.
Where do you work that you can say this? Pride is one thing, ignorance is another.
correct me if i am wrong but the ASA threw out all the pending cases that had Carl or Tommy's name attached to them, now that they have dropped the charges are they going to reinstate those? If they did that would be further vindication for the two of them, but knowing the ASA's spineless history probably wouldnt happen.
and one more thing for all you d fk's... the cases were dropped because the state was not prepared to go forward and the judge was pissed off...because the case has been pending for a long time...................he didn't say they were not guilty................time limit was up on the case...............your all bunch of two face mf's
Oh Please, enough with the sanctimonious bs. J-Pud was on duty with his company car. We non suit parkers on unmarkeds and coverts all the time. This is no big deal just because its J-Pud.

2/11/2009 11:36:00 PM
What unit do you work in? I haven't seen a non suit parker since 1991.
Dont you recall a few months ago the mayor himself stating that squad cars must find legal parking spaces when responding to calls or they will be subject to parking tickets or maybe a tow? The driver is responsible for payment, not the owner of the vehicle.
How Come I go to Area 1 to get a pool car for my all ready aging and falling apart Crown Victoria and all of the cars are signed out to unit 141 out of head quarters. What the fuck to them useless house mouses need unmarked cars for? Let alone cars at all? Answer: Mobile Strike Force
The WEISel's pet project. All the cars, all the new computers, all the headlines...whether it fact or fiction.
It's about time! Congrats and Good Luck to Tom & Carl. After the liberal left city/county unjustly went after these guys, and the media completely ran with it, basically convicting them. I haven't seen one thing on the news vindicating them. SOS was a very effective unit. MSF is just a carbon copy of SOS, with limited results. The Department has taken a very left approach (The enemy within) and it's bitting them in the ass!! Conqueor and devide. The Department has accomplished its goal. Stay safe!
Corruption-buster Patrick Fitzgerald will be staying on as Chicago's federal prosecutor, CBS 2 has confirmed.

WOW ! ! !
I don't want to get overly optimistic, but this looks like a mandate for Corruption-buster Patrick Fitzgerald to keep on bustin' !
I hope the line is at least getting shorter to reach Little Ritchie and his Band of Thieves !
Lots of good comments. I for one agree with all the posters who said don't come back to the CPD.
Should these two wronged officers attempt to put egg on the face of the State's Attorney Office, Da Mayor, and J-Fraud they will pay for it with federal blanketed bullshit charges.
U can't win this game, you can only hope to survive. These two officers still have their head above water. I say cut bait and head for the suburbs and preferably another state. The city will offer back pay and a little extra. Take what is offered and RUN!!!!!
The moral of the story is simple. U r innocent until proven guilty unless your the police. The police are guilty until proven innocent and then they are still guilty of federal civil rights violations.
ahhh just like those who pledged support for mette but failed to show up at the FOP hall for his welcome home, the friends of tom sherry and carl suchoki are coming out of the wood work!!!

Save it... It is a fucking insult TRUST ME he doesnt want it! So before any of you even dare mention his name, just remember, if you havent spoke with him in the past year, please, do not bother!!! Tom is a sharp guy, and he will get his vengeance...in this life or the next!!

"and he will get his vengence...in this life or the next!!"
You see kids, I have worked in a lot of places,I have met a lot of dynamite cops, but!. I have never seen a UNIT of top notch coppers as SOS. Were there some weak cops there?, of course. Just like any unit.
-----------------
The Bottom line is you can't do what SOS was doing.
The department tells you that you can. It gives out awards and pats on the back. It ignores complaints for a time. It winks and nods and bosses get credit for the numbers.
Then, when the pressure builds the bosses bail. The entire department turns its back on you and says you did it all on your own. They press charges, put your picture in the paper, insult you, embarrass you, and demand you be fired and jailed.
It's happened before. Look at SOG, Gang Investigators, and Area Two Violent Crimes. Same game. Ignore the bad, reward the good, until it gets exposed, then throw everyone to the wolves to save themselves.
To the younger generation, this is not the first time they've done this and it won't be the last. When crime becomes a problem this summer, the department will start this all over again with an existing unit or a brand new one.
Don't let this department use you. Don't give up your own integrity to serve its needs.
What unit do you work in? I haven't seen a non suit parker since 1991.
Dont you recall a few months ago the mayor himself stating that squad cars must find legal parking spaces when responding to calls or they will be subject to parking tickets or maybe a tow? The driver is responsible for payment, not the owner of the vehicle.
The feds deal w/100% rock solid cases this one was not one of them, video, guilty pleas, CREDIBLE witnesses what do all of these have in common with... cozzi(sad to say) pray for him every day. The state and feebs were goin back and forth what to do, neither of them wanted nothing to do w/this case why do you think it took so long...didnt take long for cozzi, the feds were given everything from jflow. Thats what happens with knee-jerk reactions...this shitty city dismantled one of the best units in the dept along with morale. Good Luck guys hope the best for you. Former 153 just drivin around now.
If J-FED tries to put federal charges on them like on COZZI, I will do nothing for the next 13 years on this job!
2/11/2009 04:32:00 PM
Hey knucklehead... Why will it take additional screwing by J-Fed to get you to do nothing. Did I miss our contract being finished. Maybe I didn't get the memo. That's the problem with many cops. Talk, talk, talk...
could have been you too keith....but you had to talk. listen people, if the feds come knocking...you say, i want my lawyer, and ill see you at trial. good for the two officers that were found innocent
2/11/2009 07:11:00 PM Hate to say it, but they weren't found "innocent". They had the local charges dropped. One is found innocent when there is a trial, and the judge or jury returns a not guilty verdict. I ain't over.
How Come I go to Area 1 to get a pool car for my all ready aging and falling apart Crown Victoria and all of the cars are signed out to unit 141 out of head quarters. What the fuck to them useless house mouses need unmarked cars for? Let alone cars at all? Answer: Mobile Strike Force

WRONG! MSF CAN'T GET CARS OR WORKING COMPUTERS IF ANY AT ALL. DON'T BELEIVE THE THE RUMORS YOU HEAR ABOUT ALL THE EQUIPMENT WE ARE RECEIVING.
They're coming out of the woodwork now, Scc. I knew they would. More anonymous hairlips running their mouth from the shadows. Still they don't have the testicular fortitude to put their names to their proclamations. They speak as if they know exactly wtf is going on. Like they were there or are there. Or, they read something from "The Hack" reporter Frank Main who always seems to know a whole lot about nothing, and prints it. Wether it's correct or not. And still yet, you morons take it as it's the bible. Without so much as checking the facts. Which you were supposedly trained to do. You are worse than the mutt that gets on the evening news, because at least he can claim ignorance. You have some investigative capabilites and resources to solidy your own arguements and confirm facts, but you fail to use them. In turn. I am free to discuss these and any other opinions you have of me, my situation or any other matters. I also PERSONALLY would like to thank those of you who have supported me and been there for my family throught this whole ordeal. Your faith in me has meant much more than you will ever know, and I can only hope to repay that favor someday. Unlike the rest of you cowards. Im posting my name. Feel free to contact me to arrange a date and time to meet and discuss your concerns. My family has taken enough of your cowardice and sniping Sincerley, Tom Sherry
Hope Jerry learns from Blago. Take down all the big wigs Jerry. Maybe these bosses did not take money but they were corrupt in that they rode wave of numbers no matter what. Keep notes people if you ever get caught up be a victim.
Great news for these two guys. Case was a blown out of proportion IAD illusion. The truth is some police action taken by a few SOS guys was in the gray area of law enforement. Did they or did they not have probable cause to detain or search people. The fact is they recovered a ton of dope, guns, and money. The fact is this stuff was all inventoried. The state had bank examiners look at the accounts of the SOS guys and they could not prove they had any more money than they should have. The fact is the "victims" of these crimes could not tell a story the same way more than once. They were incredible people in the eyes of the state, and they could not explain why they had tens of thousands of dollars in their houses anyway. The bottom line is that they were pisssed the police took their drug money so they beefed. If SOS took and inventoried $12,000 the "victim" said he had $20,000. On almost every search warrant you do this happens. They beef that you stole some of the money. It's there only chance of beating the case. SOS did not have search warrants but it's the same situation. Now what about the guys in call back? When will they be freed?
JFED was at cambell/division today and was given a ticket for tinted windows. But later the ticket was nonsuited.
Anyone confirm?
2/11/2009 06:54:00 PM
Yes it is true the officer was told by the w/c to non suited immediately after he had heard about the citation, the officer did his job and wrote the suv up for tints, it seems the law does not apply to j-fed. **** What was he doing there!? Eating at the highly rated PR restuarant? No other reason to be at that corner except to score drugs.
CONFIRMED J FED DID GET A TICKET TODAY AT 014 FOR PARKING ON THE CROSS WALK. THE PO WAS ORDERED TO NON-SUIT IT BY W/C. HE SHOULD HAVE WROTE HIM TWO TICKETS SEEING THAT HI SUV HAS TINTED WINDOWS ALL THE WAY AROUND.

good disband tru already so we can only have one dopw unit. no room for two and we know that mobile suck forces stats are either inflated or diong bogus turn ins that coppers in trouble when our bosses were pushing for these no longer had our backs
There are more important issues like: 1. our contract 2. cozzi's travesty 3. the mayor's indictment 4. quinn for mayor 5. chgo's bond rating 6. our dwindling manpower 7. our equipment 8. a shamefull supt. etcetera, so why keep beating the sos horse. crime was down. _______________________________ Thanks know it all. I'm a beat officer jsut like you, but I do't run around yapping about what i don't know.
Bond rating for city up from last year. The city has a hell of a lot more cash from skyway, midway, and parking meters.
Don't trust Quinn prior to seeing what he is about. He's still part of the good old boy machine.
Im all for contract and manpower... I hope the FOP doesnt think that the majority of the rank and file stand behind this nut job cozzi! DO NOT WASTE MONEY, TIME, AND/OR RESOURCES DEFENDING THIS CLOWN!!! LET HIM PLEAD AND SAVE THE EFFORT FOR MORE IMPORTANT ISSUES!!!
There will never be another SOS. They city and the bosses won't allow their to be one. Especially with that hack of an LT PK running the unit. MSF is nothing more than an amped up TRU without a headcount. So now its ok to come in with zeros. MSF is a joke. Most if not all of the good guys already saw the writing on the wall and checked out. Don't belive me watch the bulletin. They are already looking for 10-15officers to fill the mas exodus that t ook place due to the incompetant LT and the other shaky as hell bosses that don't have your back for a second
And you bet your dam ass they are doing turn-ins. Take it from someone who knows. Anyone doing this is asking for trouble. History does repeat itself. Remember when they said no more and ASA's and the brass couldn't believe how many guns were found behind garbage cans. Guess when yu got 3yrs on you know how to do everything and don't think of the consequences

***********************************
if this truly is tom writing this... good for you tommy, glad to see your gonna be ok with this,keep your head up
I am the proud father of Tom Sherry and a retired detective with just months short of 33 yrs. I am using this site as I don't know of any other way to reach the majority of you officers. On behalf of my family and my son's family we wish to thank all of you that have stood by us, supported us and encouraged us over these past 2 1/2 yrs. There are no words in all the languages of the world that could express our gratitude to you. Many of you I do know and am attempting to personally contact you. To those others whose names I can't recall, the complete strangers to us who stopped us on the street who expressed your support or those hundred others who knew nothing of us but still supported us please also except this inadequate expresssion of gratitude.
After reading some of the other comments on this site I can't close this without addressing two other groups. To those commentators that seem to know everthing that is going on. I was with my son shorty after they arrested him(and tried to hide him from me) and at every single court appearance thereafter. Almost all the coppers that showed up at those hearings to support Tom were known to me or were introduced to me on those dates. I would be willing to bet that none of you "knowledgable experts" were ever part of that group. Sometime ago there was a political party that historians claim to be extinct. You individuals are living proof that the "Know Nothing Party" still exists today.
Finally to those other anonymous creatures that crawl out of dark holes to attack others with your bile and vicious attacks, especially on an individuals family, you are but a reflection of your own inadequate being. You do that behind the curtain of anonymity because you are an insecure worthless being who attempts to feel superior by demeaning others. Crawl back to darkness from where you came because you bring disrespect and dishonor to an otherwise honorable group of men and women.
Tom has more integrity, character and decency in one hair folicle than you cretins will ever possess in your lifetime. I know Tom is and always was innocent of those allegations and I challenge you "carp droppings" to prove otherwise.
The charges were dropped, but the rules and regulations violations are still there. Your not going to jail, but your not going to be the police anymore.
Hey Carl all I can say is you know who your friends are and the people who care about you and your family. Just remember the people who kept in touch and wished your dear mom happy birthday today. Best of luck bro.
2/12/2009 01:40:00 AM
Obviously you felt it was necessary to remind him who his friends are. Friends don't need to do such things. But maybe your friendship is based on innocence or guilt. I don't remember reading your confession of friendship in past posts. You're so cool!
What the Fuck the Dumb Ass Cop was trying to be a smart ass he knew what he was doing at the time he wrote the ticket, other police cars were in the same area. The Sup was on offical business just as we are and sometimes have to park in violation of signs. This Goofy Ass Cop wanted attention he now thinks he is a hero and is walking around with his imperial margarine crown. I'm sure this is making up for something else.
To the crybaby copper who says unit 141 has unmarked cars doesn,t know a fucking thing, first off 141 is not the Mobile Strike Force, 141 is the Special Functions Section at 35th Street. Secondly, The Mobile Strike Force only uses marked cars, The SWAT sgts. have unmarked cars and so do the Lts. Not the PO;s. We too are looking for pool cars, as we too have cars down in the area garages, so think before you take that mighty leap off the cliff and open your mouth and talk about something you know nothing about, Thank You for your time and attention. And no one in 141 has atake home car with except the D/C and his Lt. who is driving a MARKED CAR
Tom has more integrity, character and decency in one hair folicle than you cretins will ever possess in your lifetime. I know Tom is and always was innocent of those allegations and I challenge you "carp droppings" to prove otherwise.

you speak as if your son has done some heroic deed or as if you can empathize with Mr. Mette... Sorry Mr Sherry, I knew your son in 011 and he is no angel! Do not put the horse in front of the carriage, this is not over quite yet... I have never spoken about this matter from either side, but lets not insult the intelligence of the rank and file... afterall if it smells like a duck, looks like a duck, and acts like a duck...then it probably is a duck! An old greek saying goes "show me your friends and Ill know who you are"... Anyone who surrounds themselves with the likes of jerry finnegan, keith herrera et al well, enough said... Im glad you can sleep better at night, Mr. Sherry, but you were a detective, 2 + 2 usually equals 4!
The charges were dropped, but the rules and regulations violations are still there. Your not going to jail, but your not going to be the police anymore.
2/12/2009 06:55:00 PM
What rules violations? All the charges were dismissed so they are good to go. I guess you are hoping for IAD to trump some BS up.
Thank you to Tom and his Dad. For that excellent comment of why Tom Jr wasn't convicted.
Just becasue you were not convicted doesn't mean you weren't guilty. Cook County is a joke. How many murderer's beat their cases because of inept ASA's. Preach somewhere else beacause those of us who were there know the truth. You're not innocent you just beat you case.......no better than dude! Take your holier than thou attitudes somewhere else. Those of us there daily know what was really going on. You ain't foolin nobody.
J-FED DC LUCIO A.K.A EDDIE MUNSTER AND EVERY KISS ASS W/C SGT FROM THE 014TH DIST. WHO CONTINUE TO PREACH ABOUT NUMBERS, TICKETS, ECT.. KISS OUR ASS LEARN HOW TO APPLY THE RULES TO YOURSELVES FIRST.
Oh Please, enough with the sanctimonious bs. J-Pud was on duty with his company car. We non suit parkers on unmarkeds and coverts all the time. This is no big deal just because its J-Pud. Non suiting a parker is no big deal. I am sure the copper who wrote it cares not a wit and has nothing to do with the DC or WC standing behind him. It would be much much differnet if it was a mover.
You must be a w/c ok how about being parked on the crosswalk, how about the bullshit about p.o's cars being towed for not parking legally while on duty, what about dugan getting pissed off at a aouthside p.o for parking illegally while getting a cup of coffee and giving the spiel on how we should lead by example then calling the dc to reprimand the p.o AGAIN APPLY THE RULES TO YOUSELF FIRST AND MAYBE THE SUBBORDINATES WILL FOLLOW.
I remeber the days that Tom and Carl were stripped, as well as the others, what do you say to them when these things happen? i felt bad for all of them i was there. The reason why the charges were dropped is that the dumbass asa's never bothered to check what evidence they had. On almost all of the charges Carl and Tom were not even working the days that these scumbag dope dealers accused them of crimes. So the charges were rightly dropped. i know tom and carl are good men, if the city , state, or feds had anything they wouldn't drop the charges. so for the rest of you assholes saying look out fot the feds , you are 100 percent wrong. they are innocent, and the evidence bore that out to the asa's. tom and carl were always good to me and im glad they beat the case. former 153 desk guy t/b
Yes it is true the officer was told by the w/c to non suited immediately after he had heard about the citation, the officer did his job and wrote the suv up for tints, it seems the law does not apply to j-fed. Perfect example of do as i say not as i do, and the usual case of a w/c who doesn t have the balls to stand by his ofc. I guess accountability doesn t start at the top, but only enforced at the buttom. AND TOO J-FED DC LUCIO A.K.A EDDIE MUNSTER AND EVERY KISS ASS W/C SGT FROM THE 014TH DIST. WHO CONTINUE TO PREACH ABOUT NUMBERS, TICKETS, ECT.. KISS OUR ASS LEARN HOW TO APPLY THE RULES TO YOURSELVES FIRST.
_____________________________
The PO writing the ticket and the PO who sent the fax from 014 have the biggest set of balls that hasn't been seen on this department for years. Talk shit about 014 but these Old School POs gave us something to laugh about and didn't give a fuck what could be done to them. Spar me, KMA... Take a day, KMA... That is the mentality that has been long lost in this department. We now have POs and bosses scared of their own shadows.
Glad to see Tommy and Carl getting justice like I knew they would. I have been with them the whole way.
Also anyone in 023 who has something to say to me about my support fo my friends just come and talk to me. If you you can't say it to me GFYS you worthless pussy.

You sound like you work at 26th and Cal? I am thinking mostly likely an ASA, your post comes in at 01:08:00 hrs in the morning counsel, what you can't sleep thinking about how much time, effort, and money you wasted into becoming a lawyer. Studied your ass off, took great pride becaused you are going to be someone! I am a lawyer I can do all! Save the world! and you only were able to become an ASA!!! WTF, take a few more pills and drink your ass back to sleep. Tom and his dad have more class in there shit than you will ever have in your abortion of a life. I too, know what happens in your office, behind your somke and mirrors. I know about your drunken parties and everybody fucking everybody, So please save us from your bullshit and go prep your dog of case and walk it thourgh!!! Gods knows thats all you can handle. You fucking whore. Now get in your fucking carseat:)

Hi matt how are you? How is 35th street? How is the indictment against you going kid?
Dont you recall a few months ago the mayor himself stating that squad cars must find legal parking spaces when responding to calls or they will be subject to parking tickets or maybe a tow? The driver is responsible for payment, not the owner of the vehicle.
To clarify above, on this department the driver of the vehicle pays for the ticket, not the city or the department.
The things said on this blog obviously bother you and I understand.
Know that thing said on this glog tend to be negative as is the case in the local newspapers. Negativism tends to be more interesting.
My advise to you and to many others is if you can't take whay is said hear with a grain of salt then don't read this shit.
Some of the topics covered impart some useful information but most of this stuff is toxic. Don't stress out just don't read this shit.
God bless and stay safe... ----------- Please, for the LOVE of God, consult a dictionary...at least a little!!!! This type of posting makes us all look like MORONS!!!! I am BEGGING every poster to take advanage of the "preview" button!!!! PLEASE!!!!! I'm not bashing your sentiment, but sheesh!!! The spelling is atrocious! Although I don't agree with your sentiment, now that I read it again.
While I didn't know young Tom, I had the privilege of working with his daddy, Tom Sherry and his partner, "Gentle Ben" Wieclawek, Area 4 Homicide. Not only were both outstanding homicide detectives, they were first-class gentlemen. We shared many laughs and beers together. Fo' shizzle.
I want to convey my happiness to the Sherry and Suchocki families on this great news.

ok now you know! What are you going to do about it? Skates or gym shoes I will mop you up sparky. So run around along junior while you still can as a free man. Oh they're coming! Coming for you.
This incident represented the "real police"(s.o.s.)of the C.P.D. now just a legacy gone forever ---------------------------------- you have got to be kidding me!!! i saw far better coppers on the streets than I saw go to the sons of supervisors!!! The "real police", get over yourself, haha!
Yes it is true the officer was told by the w/c to non suited immediately after he had heard about the citation, the officer did his job and wrote the suv up for tints, it seems the law does not apply to j-fed.

BULLSHIT...I got a ticket on a covert car, while on a foot chase. and guess what I had to pay it.. .

SO YOU BURNED UP A COVERT FOR A FOOT CHASE? WAS THERE A PO IN TROUBLE OR JUST SOME SHIT HEAD GETTING AWAY? IF TRUE YOU SHOULD HAVE HAD TO PAY FOR THE TICKET, YOUR SGT SHOULD HAVE STOOD UP AND TAKEN CARE OF IT- BOTTOM LINE. SECOND DONT BURN A COVERT UNLESS AS A LAST RESORT. I WAS NOT THERE SO I DONT KNOW ALL THE EVENTS, BUT AS LONG AS YOU ARE ALL SAFE THEN THATS ALL THAT MATTERS.

Will be more...Case is shit.
Congrats Tommy!!!!It's been a long day coming. ur real friends and family knew u were innocent. Fuck this city and county!!!!God bless u and family!!!!
WTF,
Chicago cop held on kiddie porn charge
WTF has happened to us???
Looks like the SA Office used way too large a net in arresting SOS guys. Wouldn't surprise me if they Nolle'd the cases against more guys in the future. Hope the good ones are able to get their jobs back.
You don't have to be making D-2 pay to see that something bigger is in the works. Read between the lines...the cryptic statement by the State's Attorney's office that AFTER speaking with the Feds, all charges were dropped. A few short days ago, M. Tobias gets moved to HQ. Sounds like the Feds have bigger fish to fry! But how far up will it go....how far will Daley let it?!?!?!?!?!
Carl and Tom....CONGRATS! Best news I've heard in a while. Weis, do the right thing and give them their jobs back. It would do a lot for morale and make you appear that you may really care about this department.
Witch hunt after all...
Now the states case is flopped and we all knew it would, the feds will take over.Blanket style in-justice. The feds version of reckless conduct. Anyways I am glad for the guys, not that piece of crap Herrera though
Good for Tom and Carl, they proclaimed their innocence from the get-go and stuck to it through it all, if Weis is smart he will put them back to work, if he tries to do what he did with Cozzi this department will really stop in it's tracks, he better be very careful with this one...
this is one time where I love to say: "Told ya so!!!"
"fish or cut bait"---Weis needs medications.
They should go out a buy a lotto ticket tonight because they got lucky big time.
"But Weis did say: "We have guys who have been in purgatory. It's time to fish or cut bait."
Really? Well the Rank&File knew it was "Fish On!" when it came to Bill Cozzi.
Recent indicators would lead one to the conclusion Sherry & Suchocki haven't seen the last of investigators knocking @ their doors.
Welcome back Carl and Tom. Let's hope they don't try to "Cozzi" you
Well at least the story about the copper from 004 charged with kiddie porn balances it all out...we can't have too much pro-police news without the negative in the same day!
Unfortuantely this is a common practice when someone is going to be indicted federally, their local charges are dropped
Let's hope not.
Ain't like they are gonna get their jobs back. Jody is just gonna call his fed buddies and have the re-arrested.
Hmm imagine that....Some more SOS officers that ain't criminals after all. Hmmmmm. Guess SOS ain't the blame for the departments probelms. What are we down to 3 officers now still left with charges......Shit that less than any district. Maybe some bosses will wise up to that fact and take the brick off the rest of us....Probably not what am I thinking
Old 153
If I were those 2 I would be suing everyone that was involved. They have tarnished these guys forever.
It's time for the ghetto lottery.
Welcome back boys...NOW SUE THE SHIT OUT OF THEM!
Looks like us guys in sos where not assholes,right cooter and tone
Its about time, TS is one of the good guys!
If J-FED tries to put federal charges on them like on COZZI, I will do nothing for the next 13 years on this job!
What did you expect??
well i would like to thank all of the backstabbers in the cpd who had put all of these guys away in the penitentary without knowing all of the facts... for over a year people on this site have been mf'n all of those guys and everyone in sos without waiting for the outcome. now look, the "victims" and "witnesses" are being found to be full of sh*t. the only reason finnegan and hererra are still locked up is because hererra talked. if he would have shut his mouth he would have had charges dropped too and the only thing finnegan would have had to face is the hired hit that he was orginaizing...that is inexcusable on his part, but after all is said and done, i see hererra getting probation and finnegan getting 10-15 years. Way to stand behind your guys cpd.. i hope these two officers sue the sh*t out of the city, states attorney, us attorney, the victims and who ever the hell else they can get money from!
ive noticed...all of the news stations didnt even mention it on the 4-5-and 6 o clock news....hhmmmmmmm, charges dropped and not even a whisper on the news... charges brought and we have to hear about it for months
Fish or cut bait? Jody is gonna throw 'em under the bus no matter what....
Watch....JFruit will ask his fed friends to "look into this case" again and try to screw the coppers!
"The Box Chevy Phantom says..."
wellllll! isn't that special!
to paraphrase the resident old guy, i'd imagine the city still wouldn't let the truth get in the way of a good scalp hunt, umm investigation.
congrats & a sip of 133 proof bourbon to these officers. we would hope that they would be made whole for their grief and aggravation but you can be sure j-fart has already "asked" his feeb buddies to prepare a special lube of bengay & metal shavings... we should sincerely hope that he would see no need to seek further punishment. hey j-fart, if you wanna punish someone sic the federal hounds on the subjects of interest in the Ofc. Vaszquez tragedy...
*crickets*
*rats scurrying*
*empty flamin' hots bag blowing in the wind*
...yeah i thought that would be your answer.
Hopefully for the guys involved a valuable lesson was learned and the feds are not looking to place charges. Hopefully this story dies out and the officer can get back to their lives.
Fantastic, does this mean SOS is coming back and jpud will be gone?
If they are smart, they will walk away from the CPD and the city of Shitcago forever.
If they try to come back, this crooked town will burn them just like Cozzi.
Make a deal for back pay, then walk away. Start a new life. Forget you were ever the police. It's just not worth it to come back. It's not even worth living anywhere near this hole.
Go someplace else and enjoy your freedom.
Good luck.
good for them, glad to see everything worked out and they are back with there families. will they be allowed to get there jobs back? after all, they cant even be placed at the scene of the crime... if the glove dont fit.. then you must aquit!
Just wondering if all of you who quickly judged these men are man enough yourself to say you were wrong!! Possibly, just possibly this was a case of malicious prosecution with questionable victims who themselves generated a ficticious story to avoid prosecution. Let us reflect on why someone looking at a ghetto lottery payday would discontinue to cooperate with the persecution/prosecution of these two officers? I have to say this job has very little loyalty within the ranks. The comments leveled here in this site from officers were no different then the same mindset the world has of the police, guilty until proven innocent. Shame on all of you quick to judge, slow to forgive. I hope you never have the same standard you judged by applied to you.
good for them
They did dropped the charges but weis said he wont comment if the Feds are investigating them. Carl said all along he wasnt There
There are more important issues like:
1. our contract
2. cozzi's travesty
3. the mayor's indictment
4. quinn for mayor
5. chgo's bond rating
6. our dwindling manpower
7. our equipment
8. a shamefull supt.
etcetera, so why keep beating the sos horse. crime was down.
Tom and Carl- F$#k this city, sue the hell out of the city and county prosecutors and run like hell. Don't even think of coming back- you'll be marked for the rest of your careers and end up inside with the rest of the house mice. Good luck.
It's still not over though. The Beady Eyed Fed is gonna make his move to get them federally indicted. I trust him as far as I can drool down my own chin.
Good luck boy's! You're gonna need it!
Chicago Sun-Times Editor in Chief Michael Cooke announced his resignation today and said he will become editor of Canada’s largest newspaper, the Toronto Star.
The Toronto Star is finished now, the Canadians can get a dose of fairy tales now.
"SOS Case Falling Apart?"
Sounds more like "SOS Case Moving Onto A Higher Plane."
"Assistant State's Atty. David Navarro only told Judge John Fleming that prosecutors were dropping the charges against the men as part of the 'ongoing joint state and federal investigation.' He declined further comment.
"In a statement, the Cook County state's attorney's office said it dismissed charges against the two officers 'in furtherance of an ongoing investigation with the U.S. attorney's office.'
"State's Atty. Anita Alvarez said in the statement that her office 'agreed to dismiss the charges in consultation with the U.S. attorney's office.'
"The U.S. Attorney's office and the FBI have for years been probing whether police supervisors covered up the misconduct, allowing the officers to rack up hundreds of similar complaints from citizens."

Anyone confirm?
SCC,
Please do a post on the 5th District Congressional Race for Rahm Emanuel's vacated seat.
What a zoo that is turning into. There are three MD's running and something like 23 candidates. You one aldercreature, one Crook County Commisioner and two state legislators running. You have to take a look at this race, it is fricking hilarious.
You need a scorecard to keep track of the players, looks like a "Machine" implosion. I think you have every ethnic group running too.
Fritchey looks to be the inside "Machine" guy.
If you didn't hear the Blago WLS AM radio interview with Don and Roma, it is a must.
Definitely the best Blago interview so far, I am really beginning to like Blago. This guy is sharp as a tack and he is leveling direct line threats now. He is exposing the "culture of corruption" very subtly. I never voted for him but I have to respect his brilliance and balls. He really does have testicular verility,LMAO.
The question is, will he stay healthy???
What do the CPD, Blago and Drew Petersen have in common?
None of them can stay out of the media spotlight longer than a week.
A 27-year-old Chicago police officer has been charged with possessing child pornography and ordered held on a $100,000 bail.
Eric Hargrove was charged after a search of his Mount Greenwood home turned up pornographic images on a computer of boys as young as 12, assistant Cook Couny state’s attorney Kathy Muldoon said.
One arrest after another....remember it aint over until the fat lady sings! as to Sherry and his side kick get out of town before sunset!
could have been you too keith....but you had to talk. listen people, if the feds come knocking...you say, i want my lawyer, and ill see you at trial. good for the two officers that were found innocent
U.S. Atty Patrick Fitzgerald To Remain In Chicago
CHICAGO (CBS) ―
Corruption-buster Patrick Fitzgerald will be staying on as Chicago's federal prosecutor, CBS 2 has confirmed.
Sources in Washington say President Barack Obama is making good on his campaign promise to keep Fitzgerald on the job.
Fitzgerald was appointed by the Bush Administration. This is the first time in the last three decades that a GOP appointee is being held over by an incoming Democratic president.
CBS 2 Political Producer Ed Marshall contributed to this report.

i wouldnt break out the bubblie if i were those guys. j-fed is gonna throw them under the bus. but remember..he s got our backs! well he s got female/hispanic/white shirt/LAPA back !
Best news I've heard. For those of you that said send them down the river, I must say you were wrong.
What happen in 016 this morning - secret service & feds all over the place!
GOD bless them all.....
from the ones that were arrested, incarcerated,fired and resigned....
Just goes to show, real proof the states attorneys office is operarted by a whole bunch of incompetent a.s.a.
Why were they even arrested in the first place if there was a question???????? regarding their identity. Wasn't there photo arrays and physical lineups for probable cause, were they ever "positively identified" before being arrested and charged.
This incident represented the "real police"(s.o.s.)of the C.P.D. now just a legacy gone forever. A clear rush to judgement this was not a professionally conducted investigation by I.A.D. and the S.A.O. All of this misfortune for the C.P.D. and the families of the accused. This could have been avoided by proper supervision/disciplinary action, way before it ever turned into any criminal intent/actions. The dept. can put new bosses in place make up new units and copy cat any prime time tv shows name. But the real soul of the C.P.D. (morale) is scarred beyond any homeopathy healing remedy.
Did cuello (bar maid) get dumped to lt.
Why is everyone congratulating each other?
The feds are obviously gonna indict them and now they will do 85% of their sentence compared to 30% in the county.
They all but said the state is dropping out so the feds will be the only game in town.
Dont celebrate yet. THE FEDS ARE COMING!!!!!!!!
I wish all involved well.
I hope this is all over for these two fine Chicago Police Officers.
CONFIRMED J FED DID GET A TICKET TODAY AT 014 FOR PARKING ON THE CROSS WALK. THE PO WAS ORDERED TO NON-SUIT IT BY W/C. HE SHOULD HAVE WROTE HIM TWO TICKETS SEEING THAT HI SUV HAS TINTED WINDOWS ALL THE WAY AROUND.

EXCELLENT POST AND 100% TRUE!
Only state charges were dropped. The feds are still investigating. Not over yet. I bet more than one person is singing.
Not for a moment should anyone think that this is the end for either Suchocki or Sherry. They're merely being turned over to the Feds. Wouldn't be surprised if they're not already in Federal custody. There is also zero chance that either will ever be back on the job. This was not a finding of innocense it was merely the State declining to prosecute at this time. State can always reindict.
How Come I go to Area 1 to get a pool car for my all ready aging and falling apart Crown Victoria and all of the cars are signed out to unit 141 out of head quarters. What the fuck to them useless house mouses need unmarked cars for? Let alone cars at all?
The FEDS are going to indict them. The state case was shit put together by moron states attorney investigators. Herrera and Finnigan are singing to the feds,Carl and tom get ready for a 6am knock on the door by the FBI. You were better off in state court the feds actually have a clue.
stripped 04 Oct 07 and still counting!!!!!! Do the right thing already!!!!!
Yippie, now BM 023 can boast even more about his SOS days and all the cool cowboy stuff they did. The Meathead Unit (SOS).

Yes it is true the officer was told by the w/c to non suited immediately after he had heard about the citation, the officer did his job and wrote the suv up for tints, it seems the law does not apply to j-fed. Perfect example of do as i say not as i do, and the usual case of a w/c who doesn t have the balls to stand by his ofc. I guess accountability doesn t start at the top, but only enforced at the buttom. AND TOO J-FED DC LUCIO A.K.A EDDIE MUNSTER AND EVERY KISS ASS W/C SGT FROM THE 014TH DIST.

I smell two beefers,tell on the boss and all sins are forgiven.Those two are just as guilty as the one in the federal country club!Let them back and this department is a joke,oh it already is!!
What's up steroid chin!!
This case isn't falling apart...they're playing "Monte Hall" with the Feds. See the Vasquez story on FOX News at 9? Find it a little ironic that these two were "released by SA request" ? Call me skeptical....
Why is Beatrice Cuello still on this job? Come on!! I don't care how much of a great boss I think she is, reality is reality. How can the Police Board and the Mayor still allow this madness?
God Bless all the members of the disbanded former #153 unit you guys and gals were a great asset to the Department.
if the state wont prosecute at all the feds definatly will not. the feds do not prosecute unless they have an absolute rock solid case. the state dropped charges because the victims could not place them there. if the victims cant put them there once and charges are dropped, the feds definatly will not pick it up due to the fact that now most if not all the evidence against the two is tainted. its not because they are getting a deal to get the top guys...its simple, they have no where else to go. it was a different case against cozzi, he pled guilty in court and it was all on video. that case was an open and shut case for the feds, no investigation even needed. for the sos thing however, there is no evidence, in fact there now is evidence that has been contridicted by the victims which in the end run will be desasterous for everyone attempting to prosecute. these guys got off, if there is a federal indictment it will be to only save face, i see no productive sentences or even findings of guilty if there is a federal indictment. the entire investigation was a knee jerk reaction and they didnt do the homework they should have. if they would have been patient and really investigated this, then it may be an entirely different story.
"What happen in 016 this morning - secret service & feds all over the place!"
It's called "Section 8". Keep voting democRat.
Sherry is a great guy and a great cop and got screwed on this while thing
well i would like to thank all of the backstabbers in the cpd who had put all of these guys away in the penitentary without knowing all of the facts...

Congrats Tommy!!!!It's been a long day coming. ur real friends and family knew u were innocent. Fuck this city and county!!!!God bless u and family!!!!
2/11/2009 02:43:00 PM
ahhh just like those who pledged support for mette but failed to show up at the FOP hall for his welcome home, the friends of tom sherry and carl suchoki are coming out of the wood work!!! Never so much a peep on this blog about either of them, now ALL OF A SUDDEN some dick wad has the fucking audacity to come out now??? FUCK YOU! Without going into it, I have been by Tom's side during this entire event... some of his best friends have abandoned him... so to put something, anonymously nonetheless, on a blog congratulating him??? Save it... It is a fucking insult TRUST ME he doesnt want it! So before any of you even dare mention his name, just remember, if you havent spoke with him in the past year, please, do not bother!!! Tom is a sharp guy, and he will get his vengeance...in this life or the next!!
Really? Well the Rank&File knew it was "Fish On!" when it came to Bill Cozzi.
Recent indicators would lead one to the conclusion Sherry & Suchocki haven't seen the last of investigators knocking @ their doors.
2/11/2009 04:02:00 PM
well, lets see... No victim could put Tom or Carl at the scene of any crime... Cozzi was on tape at the scene of a crime... so, no, not similar not even close!
Welcome back Carl and Tom. Let's hope they don't try to "Cozzi" you
2/11/2009 04:08:00 PM
to "cozzi them" would mean catch them on video committing a crime??? I think both of them, unlike Wild Bill, are too smart for that!
ps who doesnt know that while in a hospital every act will be caught on tape??? Cozzi was a victim of his own stupidity!
Merit sergeant nomination fax came over today. Gotta be in by feb
25th i believe. This should be interesting. Let the ass kissing begin!!
Finally some good news. For those of you who stopped calling them or turned away when you saw them at the store....you should be ashamed to call yourselves friends! Tommy is and always has been a great guy and Carl has been a goofy muscle head but a good guy deep down. Godbless boys... now sue the hell out of the city.
Will be more...Case is shit.
2/11/2009 02:30:00 PM
Case was shit, till Rat cocksucker Hererra wore a wire and wanted people painted!
All the SOS "victims" wanted $$ from city, nothing more.
WHERE WERE ALL THESE COMMENTS OF UNENDING SUPPORT 6 MONTHS AGO??? You people are hypocrites and cowards!!! Not a single word about these guys until they are exonerated!!! Im not saying I thought they were 100% innocent but Im not getting on my knees either!!! Gimme a break! Watch them get indicted by a federal grand jury tomorrow and NONE of you, NOT A SINGLE ONE will utter the names Tom Sherry or Carl Suchoki! That is some ball-less bullshit! sorry for the harsh words, SCC, but this hits close to home for me! Unreal
Tom is a sharp guy, and he will get his vengeance...in this life or the next!!

could have been you too keith....but you had to talk. listen people, if the feds come knocking...you say, i want my lawyer, and ill see you at trial. good for the two officers that were found innocent
2/11/2009 07:11:00 PM
feds had nothing to do with the charges being dropped dumb fuck... as a matter of fact, watch and see Keith turn fed witness against them and be the only one walking it is amazing how attention to detail just doesnt matter to some! Must be an ex-marine! SEMPER FI
I called the FOp office the other day and spoke to Mrs Suchocki
She is such a nice lady and I was thinking how her heart must be broken over this
i know my mother would have had devistated had it happened to me
Now her son has been vindicated and the whole family must be on Cloud 9
Im very happy for all of the entire police family and especially for her
despite the fact that they are on camera in the bar....yeah lets bring them back thats a great idea they did soooooooooo much great work....i.e home invasions black mail, robbery ect... just because S.A are pretty much worthless doesn't mean that these guys are innocent. Get Real people these guys are the people responsible for fucking up the department and giving Daily the excuse to stick it in our ass's. No wonder why this department is a laughing stock of law enforcement. It's people like 243 pm and 315 pm that are the problem with this department. unbelievable!
Ok, I'll be the first to say it...I didn't believe "all along" that these guys were innocent. When you look at the big players in all of this like that pos JF, it was hard to not make assumptions about the rest. I'm just as guilty as the liberal media that I despise in that respect. However, that doesn't mean that I'm not happy to hear this latest news. It's good news for them and for the department. I hope that this is truly the end for them and they are able to put all of this in the past. We fool ourselves into thinking that we are not as quick to pass judgement as the media, liberals and other police haters out there, but we often fall into the same trap. Lesson learned.
Glad to see Tommy and Carl getting justice like I knew they would. I have been with them the whole way.
Also anyone in 023 who has something to say to me about my support fo my friends just come and talk to me. If you you can't say it to me GFYS you worthless pussy.

I could be wrong, but isn't J-Feds ride a department vehicle? Stop with the "had to non-suit a ticket" crap. I don't like him any more than you, but you want him to pay a ticket for a department vehicle that has tints? If I'm right, you're a bunch of asshats. If I'm wrong and it is his own personal acr, he should have been written and payed the ticket and not complained. I don't think I'm wrong though.
Never thought Sherry took anything. Was always a case of mistaken identity. Suchocki, well I don't know. Obviously absolved in court. What did he know though? And why is Herrerra a rat? He admitted to stealing. Don't we fight against the "stop snitchin" attitude everyday? From all the rumors I've heard the rest of them have already plead guilty. Innocent men do not plead guilty. Just sayin. Also, this isn't a thin blue line thing where we back each other up while doing real police work. These guys were thieves and no one wants to say it. Have some pride in what you do and stand up for whats right. Being a thug isn't right.Finnigan was/is a thug.
Yes it is true the officer was told by the w/c to non suited immediately after he had heard about the citation, the officer did his job and wrote the suv up for tints, it seems the law does not apply to j-fed.

Oh Please, enough with the sanctimonious bs. J-Pud was on duty with his company car. We non suit parkers on unmarkeds and coverts all the time. This is no big deal just because its J-Pud. Non suiting a parker is no big deal. I am sure the copper who wrote it cares not a wit and has nothing to do with the DC or WC standing behind him. It would be much much differnet if it was a mover.

calls it what you wants, we are two look up two you,...it is twooo bad that you don't control this yourselves...
I'm a detective, on the job more than 25 years now, and I know this girl who's done some legal work and legal research on this case (pro-bonon btw because she grew up in a cop family) and she's found more than a dozen loop holes in the State's case. Says she's confident that all these guys will get off because of illegal taps, innapropriate confessions, sloppy work on part of State and problems with the warrants, etc. Says it isn't looking too good for the case against these SOS guys because the State's attorney (and Shortshanks' team) was too quick to jump on these guys. Also points out that there is a lack of witness cooperation and without that, States Attorney has not real case. Before you all blow alot of shit my way, just trust me that this girl is good. She helped get Mette back to us. And guys - not only is she smart & educated but she's hot too! Let me know if you need assistance from her. AHM...hmmm...mean legal assistance.
You are god damn right! You have never met a nicer woman. Mrs. S. is top notch. Always has been, always will be. She raised great kids and is a classy lady. I have known Carl for years and I never believed he could have done this.
Congratulations Carl. And make sure you stick it to the proper individuals.
61st and Major

CS is a pud, plain & simple...
to the pussy who said cooter n tony called somebody an asshole in sos. There was alpt of assholes there.maybe they are and so are to not sign your name. Tell us to our face Tony and cooter
RE: well i would like to thank all of the backstabbers in the cpd who had put all of these guys away in the penitentary without knowing all of the facts... for over a year people on this site have been mf'n all of those guys and everyone in sos without waiting for the outcome. now look, the "victims" and "witnesses" are being found to be full of sh*t. the only reason finnegan and hererra are still locked up is because hererra talked. if he would have shut his mouth he would have had charges dropped too and the only thing finnegan would have had to face is the hired hit that he was orginaizing...that is inexcusable on his part, but after all is said and done, i see hererra getting probation and finnegan getting 10-15 years. Way to stand behind your guys cpd.. i hope these two officers sue the sh*t out of the city, states attorney, us attorney, the victims and who ever the hell else they can get money from!
spoken like a true SOS... If he hadn't talked??? and all finnegan would of had if the 'Hired Hit' charge, whew!! yea what a shame.. YOU SIR,,, are an idiot!!!!
I sure hope I am wrong and the G doesn't grab this one, but in order for the Feds to pick it up and indict the case the state has to nolle. That is the only way they will take it. I hope they put it to rest but i doubt it. Good luck TS and Carl.
BM 023 has always stood by his friends since the beginning one way or another. God bless him for being loyal. Are you jealous because his stories about being the real police are better than yours. He is a good guy with a good heart. STFU.
i hope the feds are not planning on charging these guys? secondly, don't come back. just sue the shit out of everyone involved. if you do come back, buy a dvd player and sit in the squad like everyone else.
Hey Carl all I can say is you know who your friends are and the people who care about you and your family. Just remember the people who kept in touch and wished your dear mom happy birthday today. Best of luck bro.
"well, lets see... No victim could put Tom or Carl at the scene of any crime... Cozzi was on tape at the scene of a crime... so, no, not similar not even close!
2/11/2009 10:49:00 PM"
No victim came forward to testify. It was in reference to the Weis statement fish or cut bait. He went after Cozzi after he paid his penanance and was cleared by the Police Board to return to duty.
If you can't see the witch hunt in getting the pound of flesh, either your head is completely up you ass or you're just plain stupid. Apparently a combination of BOTH!!
"It would be much much differnet if it was a mover.
2/11/2009 11:36:00 PM"
Uh, no, no it wouldn't.
"Innocent men do not plead guilty.
2/11/2009 11:28:00 PM"
Sometimes they do.
I am very happy that these two guys are out this mess.I never thought they did what they were accused of.This will all play out in the courtroom and in the news media.All of you should remember that any one of us can have CR#s, allegations made against us by any citizen/or criminal at anytime. Be careful out there and stay safe on duty and off duty.
I CAN'T BELIEVE ALL THIS B S One minute your m f n these guys..and the next your prasing them... The case was thrown out out for lack of evidence and witnesses cooperation...................doesn't mean it did not happen............ No one wants to see anyone go to jail........but do you really think they are gonna get their jobs back...............Leave well enough alone and move on.........................otherwise......you'll end up like Cozzie....................
Speaking of handjobs....Blaming SOS was childish. Yes we all want to be Varsity letterman but as any athelete knows, it comes down to who you know, unless ur that good.(really?)
You see kids, I have worked in a lot of places,I have met a lot of dynamite cops, but!. I have never seen a UNIT of top notch coppers as SOS. Were there some weak cops there?, of course. Just like any unit.
DID it take juice to get there? OF course. Did they do the job? You bet ur sweet ass!
I loathe the sacred asshole who has connections. You see, I learned from guys with 10-30 yrs on how to "really" do the job.I thought I knew. Boy did I have a reckoning. I thought I was good with 4 on then I met the best.
Do you understand, when a cop got hurt or shot, we were sent in? Why?
Who do they send now?
Maybe we were not the best but I do know, we kicked ass when we had to.
Where do you work that you can say this? Pride is one thing, ignorance is another.
correct me if i am wrong but the ASA threw out all the pending cases that had Carl or Tommy's name attached to them, now that they have dropped the charges are they going to reinstate those? If they did that would be further vindication for the two of them, but knowing the ASA's spineless history probably wouldnt happen.
and one more thing for all you d fk's... the cases were dropped because the state was not prepared to go forward and the judge was pissed off...because the case has been pending for a long time...................he didn't say they were not guilty................time limit was up on the case...............your all bunch of two face mf's
Oh Please, enough with the sanctimonious bs. J-Pud was on duty with his company car. We non suit parkers on unmarkeds and coverts all the time. This is no big deal just because its J-Pud. Non suiting a parker is no big deal. I am sure the copper who wrote it cares not a wit and has nothing to do with the DC or WC standing behind him. It would be much much differnet if it was a mover.
2/11/2009 11:36:00 PM
What unit do you work in? I haven't seen a non suit parker since 1991.
Dont you recall a few months ago the mayor himself stating that squad cars must find legal parking spaces when responding to calls or they will be subject to parking tickets or maybe a tow? The driver is responsible for payment, not the owner of the vehicle.
He should pay. He could afford it.
this was not a professionally conducted investigation by I.A.D. ---is there such a thing?

It's about time! Congrats and Good Luck to Tom & Carl. After the liberal left city/county unjustly went after these guys, and the media completely ran with it, basically convicting them. I haven't seen one thing on the news vindicating them. SOS was a very effective unit. MSF is just a carbon copy of SOS, with limited results. The Department has taken a very left approach (The enemy within) and it's bitting them in the ass!! Conqueor and devide. The Department has accomplished its goal. Stay safe!
Corruption-buster Patrick Fitzgerald will be staying on as Chicago's federal prosecutor, CBS 2 has confirmed.
Fitzgerald was appointed by the Bush Administration. This is the first time in the last three decades that a GOP appointee is being held over by an incoming Democratic president.

WOW ! ! !
I don't want to get overly optimistic, but this looks like a mandate for Corruption-buster Patrick Fitzgerald to keep on bustin' !
I hope the line is at least getting shorter to reach Little Ritchie and his Band of Thieves !
Lots of good comments. I for one agree with all the posters who said don't come back to the CPD.
Should these two wronged officers attempt to put egg on the face of the State's Attorney Office, Da Mayor, and J-Fraud they will pay for it with federal blanketed bullshit charges.
U can't win this game, you can only hope to survive. These two officers still have their head above water. I say cut bait and head for the suburbs and preferably another state. The city will offer back pay and a little extra. Take what is offered and RUN!!!!!
The moral of the story is simple. U r innocent until proven guilty unless your the police. The police are guilty until proven innocent and then they are still guilty of federal civil rights violations.
FUCK THE FEDS!!!!!!!!!!!
ahhh just like those who pledged support for mette but failed to show up at the FOP hall for his welcome home, the friends of tom sherry and carl suchoki are coming out of the wood work!!! Never so much a peep on this blog about either of them, now ALL OF A SUDDEN some dick wad has the fucking audacity to come out now??? FUCK YOU! Without going into it, I have been by Tom's side during this entire event... some of his best friends have abandoned him... so to put something, anonymously nonetheless, on a blog congratulating him??? Save it... It is a fucking insult TRUST ME he doesnt want it! So before any of you even dare mention his name, just remember, if you havent spoke with him in the past year, please, do not bother!!! Tom is a sharp guy, and he will get his vengeance...in this life or the next!!

WTF has happened to us???

US is who caught and arrested him.
And nothing has happened to US. I don't do kiddie porn. Do you? Just who the hell is the US you're referring to?
You see kids, I have worked in a lot of places,I have met a lot of dynamite cops, but!. I have never seen a UNIT of top notch coppers as SOS. Were there some weak cops there?, of course. Just like any unit.
-----------------
The Bottom line is you can't do what SOS was doing.
The department tells you that you can. It gives out awards and pats on the back. It ignores complaints for a time. It winks and nods and bosses get credit for the numbers.
Then, when the pressure builds the bosses bail. The entire department turns its back on you and says you did it all on your own. They press charges, put your picture in the paper, insult you, embarrass you, and demand you be fired and jailed.
It's happened before. Look at SOG, Gang Investigators, and Area Two Violent Crimes. Same game. Ignore the bad, reward the good, until it gets exposed, then throw everyone to the wolves to save themselves.
To the younger generation, this is not the first time they've done this and it won't be the last. When crime becomes a problem this summer, the department will start this all over again with an existing unit or a brand new one.
Don't let this department use you. Don't give up your own integrity to serve its needs.
What unit do you work in? I haven't seen a non suit parker since 1991.
Dont you recall a few months ago the mayor himself stating that squad cars must find legal parking spaces when responding to calls or they will be subject to parking tickets or maybe a tow? The driver is responsible for payment, not the owner of the vehicle.
He should pay. He could afford it.
You must be blind.
The feds deal w/100% rock solid cases this one was not one of them, video, guilty pleas, CREDIBLE witnesses what do all of these have in common with... cozzi(sad to say) pray for him every day. The state and feebs were goin back and forth what to do, neither of them wanted nothing to do w/this case why do you think it took so long...didnt take long for cozzi, the feds were given everything from jflow. Thats what happens with knee-jerk reactions...this shitty city dismantled one of the best units in the dept along with morale. Good Luck guys hope the best for you. Former 153 just drivin around now.

Why will it take additional screwing by J-Fed to get you to do nothing. Did I miss our contract being finished. Maybe I didn't get the memo. That's the problem with many cops. Talk, talk, talk...

Hate to say it, but they weren't found "innocent". They had the local charges dropped. One is found innocent when there is a trial, and the judge or jury returns a not guilty verdict. I ain't over.
Shocking.

Hope Jerry learns from Blago. Take down all the big wigs Jerry. Maybe these bosses did not take money but they were corrupt in that they rode wave of numbers no matter what. Keep notes people if you ever get caught up be a victim.
Great news for these two guys. Case was a blown out of proportion IAD illusion. The truth is some police action taken by a few SOS guys was in the gray area of law enforement. Did they or did they not have probable cause to detain or search people. The fact is they recovered a ton of dope, guns, and money. The fact is this stuff was all inventoried. The state had bank examiners look at the accounts of the SOS guys and they could not prove they had any more money than they should have. The fact is the "victims" of these crimes could not tell a story the same way more than once. They were incredible people in the eyes of the state, and they could not explain why they had tens of thousands of dollars in their houses anyway. The bottom line is that they were pisssed the police took their drug money so they beefed. If SOS took and inventoried $12,000 the "victim" said he had $20,000. On almost every search warrant you do this happens. They beef that you stole some of the money. It's there only chance of beating the case. SOS did not have search warrants but it's the same situation. Now what about the guys in call back? When will they be freed?
IT IS NOT OVER.
JFED was at cambell/division today and was given a ticket for tinted windows. But later the ticket was nonsuited.
Anyone confirm?

Yes it is true the officer was told by the w/c to non suited immediately after he had heard about the citation, the officer did his job and wrote the suv up for tints, it seems the law does not apply to j-fed.

good disband tru already so we can only have one dopw unit. no room for two and we know that mobile suck forces stats are either inflated or diong bogus turn ins that coppers in trouble when our bosses were pushing for these no longer had our backs
There are more important issues like:
1. our contract
2. cozzi's travesty
3. the mayor's indictment
4. quinn for mayor
5. chgo's bond rating
6. our dwindling manpower
7. our equipment
8. a shamefull supt.
etcetera, so why keep beating the sos horse. crime was down.

Thanks know it all. I'm a beat officer jsut like you, but I do't run around yapping about what i don't know.
Bond rating for city up from last year. The city has a hell of a lot more cash from skyway, midway, and parking meters.
Don't trust Quinn prior to seeing what he is about. He's still part of the good old boy machine.
Daley's indictment-not happening. No way.
Contract, Cozzi, manpower i concur! That's all

Let's go back cooter.let them eat cake.then we can go back on the bis program.good thing the fop and jfed had our backs.thanks fop
Please Don't even compare MSF to SOS.
There will never be another SOS. They city and the bosses won't allow their to be one. Especially with that hack of an LT PK running the unit. MSF is nothing more than an amped up TRU without a headcount. So now its ok to come in with zeros. MSF is a joke. Most if not all of the good guys already saw the writing on the wall and checked out. Don't belive me watch the bulletin. They are already looking for 10-15officers to fill the mas exodus that t ook place due to the incompetant LT and the other shaky as hell bosses that don't have your back for a second
And you bet your dam ass they are doing turn-ins. Take it from someone who knows. Anyone doing this is asking for trouble. History does repeat itself. Remember when they said no more and ASA's and the brass couldn't believe how many guns were found behind garbage cans. Guess when yu got 3yrs on you know how to do everything and don't think of the consequences
MSF is a joke

I am the proud father of Tom Sherry and a retired detective with just months short of 33 yrs. I am using this site as I don't know of any other way to reach the majority of you officers. On behalf of my family and my son's family we wish to thank all of you that have stood by us, supported us and encouraged us over these past 2 1/2 yrs. There are no words in all the languages of the world that could express our gratitude to you. Many of you I do know and am attempting to personally contact you. To those others whose names I can't recall, the complete strangers to us who stopped us on the street who expressed your support or those hundred others who knew nothing of us but still supported us please also except this inadequate expresssion of gratitude.
After reading some of the other comments on this site I can't close this without addressing two other groups. To those commentators that seem to know everthing that is going on. I was with my son shorty after they arrested him(and tried to hide him from me) and at every single court appearance thereafter. Almost all the coppers that showed up at those hearings to support Tom were known to me or were introduced to me on those dates. I would be willing to bet that none of you "knowledgable experts" were ever part of that group. Sometime ago there was a political party that historians claim to be extinct. You individuals are living proof that the "Know Nothing Party" still exists today.
Finally to those other anonymous creatures that crawl out of dark holes to attack others with your bile and vicious attacks, especially on an individuals family, you are but a reflection of your own inadequate being. You do that behind the curtain of anonymity because you are an insecure worthless being who attempts to feel superior by demeaning others. Crawl back to darkness from where you came because you bring disrespect and dishonor to an otherwise honorable group of men and women.
Tom has more integrity, character and decency in one hair folicle than you cretins will ever possess in your lifetime. I know Tom is and always was innocent of those allegations and I challenge you "carp droppings" to prove otherwise.
Thomas J. Sherry
The charges were dropped, but the rules and regulations violations are still there. Your not going to jail, but your not going to be the police anymore.
Hey Carl all I can say is you know who your friends are and the people who care about you and your family. Just remember the people who kept in touch and wished your dear mom happy birthday today. Best of luck bro.
2/12/2009 01:40:00 AM
Obviously you felt it was necessary to remind him who his friends are. Friends don't need to do such things. But maybe your friendship is based on innocence or guilt. I don't remember reading your confession of friendship in past posts. You're so cool!
Maybe we were not the best but I do know, we kicked ass when we had to.
Where do you work that you can say this? Pride is one thing, ignorance is another.

Some guys just have to beat on their chest.
What the Fuck the Dumb Ass Cop was trying to be a smart ass he knew what he was doing at the time he wrote the ticket, other police cars were in the same area. The Sup was on offical business just as we are and sometimes have to park in violation of signs. This Goofy Ass Cop wanted attention he now thinks he is a hero and is walking around with his imperial margarine crown. I'm sure this is making up for something else.
2/12/2009 06:46:00 PM
I salute you for being a great Father, Mr. Sherry. I hope that Tom is fully exonerated and returns to work shortly.
To the crybaby copper who says unit 141 has unmarked cars doesn,t know a fucking thing, first off 141 is not the Mobile Strike Force, 141 is the Special Functions Section at 35th Street.
Secondly, The Mobile Strike Force only uses marked cars, The SWAT sgts. have unmarked cars and so do the Lts. Not the PO;s. We too are looking for pool cars, as we too have cars down in the area garages, so think before you take that mighty leap off the cliff and open your mouth and talk about something you know nothing about, Thank You for your time and attention. And no one in 141 has atake home car with except the D/C and his Lt. who is driving a MARKED CAR

Oh Please, enough with the sanctimonious bs. J-Pud was on duty with his company car. We non suit parkers on unmarkeds and coverts all the time. This is no big deal just because its J-Pud. Non suiting a parker is no big deal. I am sure the copper who wrote it cares not a wit and has nothing to do with the DC or WC standing behind him. It would be much much differnet if it was a mover.
You must be a w/c
ok how about being parked on the crosswalk, how about the bullshit about p.o's cars being towed for not parking legally while on duty, what about dugan getting pissed off at a aouthside p.o for parking illegally while getting a cup of coffee and giving the spiel on how we should lead by example then calling the dc to reprimand the p.o AGAIN APPLY THE RULES TO YOUSELF FIRST AND MAYBE THE SUBBORDINATES WILL FOLLOW.
2/11/2009 11:36:00 PM
I remeber the days that Tom and Carl were stripped, as well as the others, what do you say to them when these things happen? i felt bad for all of them i was there. The reason why the charges were dropped is that the dumbass asa's never bothered to check what evidence they had. On almost all of the charges Carl and Tom were not even working the days that these scumbag
dope dealers accused them of crimes. So the charges were rightly dropped. i know tom and carl are good men, if the city , state, or feds had anything they wouldn't drop the charges. so for the rest of you assholes saying look out fot the feds , you are 100 percent wrong. they are innocent, and the evidence bore that out to the asa's. tom and carl were always good to me and im glad they beat the case.
former 153 desk guy t/b
Yes it is true the officer was told by the w/c to non suited immediately after he had heard about the citation, the officer did his job and wrote the suv up for tints, it seems the law does not apply to j-fed. Perfect example of do as i say not as i do, and the usual case of a w/c who doesn t have the balls to stand by his ofc. I guess accountability doesn t start at the top, but only enforced at the buttom. AND TOO J-FED DC LUCIO A.K.A EDDIE MUNSTER AND EVERY KISS ASS W/C SGT FROM THE 014TH DIST.

Mr. Sherry
The things said on this blog obviously bother you and I understand.
Know that thing said on this glog tend to be negative as is the case in the local newspapers. Negativism tends to be more interesting.

Some of the topics covered impart some useful information but most of this stuff is toxic. Don't stress out just don't read this shit.

While I didn't know young Tom, I had the privilege of working with his daddy, Tom Sherry and his partner, "Gentle Ben" Wieclawek, Area 4 Homicide. Not only were both outstanding homicide detectives, they were first-class gentlemen. We shared many laughs and beers together. Fo' shizzle.
I want to convey my happiness to the Sherry and Suchocki families on this great news.
What happen in 016 this morning - secret service & feds all over the place!

Phat Phil brought about the destruction of the CPD. Thank God he and his "clout regime" are gone!
J-Fed is no prize either!
Yes it is true the officer was told by the w/c to non suited immediately after he had heard about the citation, the officer did his job and wrote the suv up for tints, it seems the law does not apply to j-fed. Perfect example of do as i say not as i do, and the usual case of a w/c who doesn t have the balls to stand by his ofc. I guess accountability doesn t start at the top, but only enforced at the buttom. AND TOO J-FED DC LUCIO A.K.A EDDIE MUNSTER AND EVERY KISS ASS W/C SGT FROM THE 014TH DIST. WHO CONTINUE TO PREACH ABOUT NUMBERS, TICKETS, ECT.. KISS OUR ASS LEARN HOW TO APPLY THE RULES TO YOURSELVES FIRST.
Oh Please, enough with the sanctimonious bs. J-Pud was on duty with his company car. We non suit parkers on unmarkeds and coverts all the time. This is no big deal just because its J-Pud. Non suiting a parker is no big deal. I am sure the copper who wrote it cares not a wit and has nothing to do with the DC or WC standing behind him. It would be much much differnet if it was a mover.
BULLSHIT...I got a ticket on a covert car, while on a foot chase. and guess what I had to pay it.. .

SO YOU BURNED UP A COVERT FOR A FOOT CHASE? WAS THERE A PO IN TROUBLE OR JUST SOME SHIT HEAD GETTING AWAY? IF TRUE YOU SHOULD HAVE HAD TO PAY FOR THE TICKET, YOUR SGT SHOULD HAVE STOOD UP AND TAKEN CARE OF IT- BOTTOM LINE. SECOND DONT BURN A COVERT UNLESS AS A LAST RESORT. I WAS NOT THERE SO I DONT KNOW ALL THE EVENTS, BUT AS LONG AS YOU ARE ALL SAFE THEN THATS ALL THAT MATTERS.
