Here Comes the Rain
On Internet chat sites and at the water cooler, cops have been warning each other not to drink and drive in the wake of charges against a Chicago Police detective accused of killing two young men last week in an allegedly alcohol-fueled wreck.
Officers have been urging each other to grab their colleagues' keys or hail a cab for those who appear intoxicated.
Police Supt. Jody Weis stressed Monday that he is serious about cracking down on cops who drive drunk.
Again, if we don't watch out for each other, this will end up happening again. And again. Everyone on this job is over 21. We came on with eyes wide open. A little planning goes a long way.

Amen !!!!!
let's see possibly 12 dui's out of aprox. 10,000 policemen compared to 1 dui out of 50 aldermen.....I'd say our numbers are still better than theirs.
SCC,
I think there is something bigger than this incident going on here that needs to be noticed. WTF ARE THE VITCIMS FAMILY DOING IN FRONT OF AN OFFICERS HOUSE?
What happens the next time one of us chooses our life over shorty shhitheads? This should be an eye opener for everyone here. All those asshats should have been locked up for tresspassing or disorderly

What news/people should really know about CPD.
They are going to be hammering the "Cop Bars".
Hi. Old enough to remember riding in a steel interior car with no seatbelts. I went to the Cub opener today,drunk no gun red line 2 cabs wife picked me up at the end had a blast. It can b done.
Does anybody have the average number of coppers arrested yearly for Reckless Homicide involving DUI? It seems like one or two CPD officers per year are getting arrested for this.
I have a viable solution for all our monetary needs: Corporate sponsorship. We could sell the unused spaces on our squad cars, wagons and other vehicles for advertising. Hell, we could even modify our uniforms to sport corporate logos and sponsor ads.
NASCAR does it, CTA does it, why can't we. I'd love to roll around on my my beat with a gigantic "OE 800" logo on the hood of my squad car. Knowing full well that the money generated by sponsorship is going where it belongs: to us!
Just a thought. I say run with it Dicky. You and your minions could make bank.
If nothing else people, CALL THE DESK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Too many tools on this job, that's the problem. Tools, douchebags, nerds, and dorks...seem to be the people most attracted to law enforcement these days.
*** THIS JUST IN FROM A 35TH STREET INSIDER...
J-Fed's "Think Tank" is drawing up plans as we speak to do premise checks in concert with the licensing unit at "liquor establishments known to be frequented by P.O.'s". Those patrons believed to be, or otherwise identified as ODPO's, will be asked to identify themselves. Interviews with the bartender/manager as to number of drinks consumed, time in establishment, etcetera will be conducted if they believe the ODPO is "impaired".
In addition, another "policy group" suggestion is to monitor the perimeters of such locations doing "vehicular grid searches" with the equivalent of a plate-reading vehicle that will "hit" when a vehicle in close proximity to the drinking establishment comes back registered to a P.O. (this should be nightmare-ish to those of us with cars registered to 35/Michigan who like their pops).
Now here comes the best part: when the details are all worked out in this latest knee-jerk-reaction, they'll be asking for volunteers to be detailed to this newly-created unit!! Preliminary numbers of 2 Sergeants and 12 P.O.'s. Officers with DUI experience/breath technician certification will be sought-out to step-up for the "cause".
A handful of gold stars and their confidantes were assembled last- minute Sunday night to develop this plan to try and minimize the fallout created by Saturday's tragedy; seems the midget on the 5th floor was absolutely livid about the "possible negative ramifications" over the bad publicity generated by this latest CPD fuck-up and the collateral damage once the IOC got wind of the event. The midget wants to make it internationally known that he won't tolerate first-responders who engage in behavior that would jeopardize the citizenry/taxpayers (which means dampen his Olympic quest).
I promise more on this subject once I can put my ear back on the wall. In the meantime, use your heads, brothers and sisters. It certainly looks like it's going to get a lot worse before the shit storm clears.
"I have just under 3 years on this job. I did my training in 015, transferred to 011, and have recently made the move to MSF..."
If anyone knows who this beat-off is, please let us know.
Its probably one of the only things Brzczek used to harp on that made sense.
DUI has always been an automatic 30 days whether you were found guilty criminally or not. All future DUI arrests will be an automatic 30 pending. You knew it was coming.
I spit my fucking coffee all over the computer screen when I read about the "corporate sponsorship" and the OE 800!!! Sorry boys and girls, but I am hereby claiming all rights to the "Zig-Zag" rolling papers logo for my blue/white!!

Why are you asking if anyone knows him, find out yourself using clear.
By the way do you think we will ever stand together or will we just continue to stab each other in the back. I just don't get it when I came on (over 10 years ago) they taught us to watch out for each other, now they must be teaching newer guys to fuck over each other. I just don't get it.
the problem with calling the desk, is that there are plenty of p/o's and bosses who don't give a shit about the "drunk" p/o. Who do you trust? It comes to responsibility, stop being so complacent and sometimes arrogant, and do the right thing, slow down, you don't need to be power drinkers, ask for help from professionals, friends, someone!!! Of course being a city employee, arrogance and not taking responsibility for our actions are the examples the "top management" has been showing us. I guess it's time to be leaders instead of followers, if not on the job, at least in our personal life.
Aunt Bea is going undercover just like the old days.
Don't let them know you're a cop. Stop flashing the badge and pay the cover. Leave those police shirts and other cop type stuff at home. So many cops are too cheap. Just pay the cover.
SCC:"Everyone on this job is over 21."
So why do the majority of coppers act like 16 year olds??The imaturity level on this job is incredible.
"4/14/2009 01:27:00 AM"
Why just first responders?
Why not ALL city employees, including those elected, appointed, hired, contracted, sub-contracted, etc.?
After all, legally drunk is legally drunk, no matter what taxpayer financed work a person is doing.
So, if there's going to be a revival of a city hall driven Temperance Movement, why not apply their fervor upon ALL who make their livings from the taxes paid by the citizens who pay taxes?
Daley can start by blowing himself.

It's obviously a joke moron. Now study up for the detective's test.

I got dibs on the Viagra logo...."Da Mayer...you can never fuck a copper enough"
I don't need to watch my fellow officer, he or she is of legal drinking age& certified by the state to take someones life if necessary.
THE BOTTOM LINE NO MORE PLAYS FOR CLOUTED INDIVIUALS, THAT INCLUDES THE GOLD STARS WHO CAN'T HANDLE THEIR POPS!!
Might I suggest ending professional courtesy by offering the driver/officer a choice: he can get in a cab, have a buddy pick him up OR you'll ticket him and ruin his career.
The option of just letting him/her drive off because he/she is an officer seems doomed in the end.
Of course I agree that the better practice is not not drink and drive in the first place.
let's see possibly 12 dui's out of aprox. 10,000 policemen compared to 1 dui out of 50 aldermen.....I'd say our numbers are still better than theirs.
----------------------------------
how many DUIs never got wrote due to professional courtesy? I bet no aldercritters got such courtesy.
You can have the zig-zag logo. I'll take the wildwood soda (grape of course) and the flame'n hots logo on my uniform please.
I want teh media to hammer the following professions after one of them gets into a DUI crash:
Judges
Politicians
Accountants
Bankers
Priests
Carpenters
etc
etc

Why did 009 do nothing? who is the commander? Or right another daley scared shitless hack!
Always remember, even when its not your fault, getting hit by another drunk driver for example, it will be your fault. Drink at home or within walking distance from your house. We are better than this.

At least the cops can't top the statistics for the intoxicated north shore brats who have been killing each other in record numbers over the last two years.
How did they find out where the officer/Det. lives? Did the Department tell them his address?
Why is Daley so over concerned about the CPD anyway? Cause it's just a ploy to take the public's eyes off of him, while he continues his path of crime and corruption, untouched by the Feds, still, to this date. I guess Daley and Company are just smarter than the Feds.
the "Cop Bars" will probably immediately file a lawsuit against the City, and once again, the taxpayers will be stuck with the Bill, for this targeting of their establishment. What about all the citizens who drive away from these bars? Could THEY all pass a sobriety test? I doubt it. What about all the downtown businessmen and women, with their after work Friday Martini Time? Could they pass a sobriety test? Why is it only the police that are going to be spied on illegally? Don't we have any rights anymoe? What about the drunken Lawyers downtown? Why aren't THEY being targeted? Because they'll IMMEDIATELY sue the shit out of the Shitty, thats why. You can't single out a group of people and subject them to this stuff, it's illegal by Federal Law. What's next, singling out fat dunken Doughnuts employees for eating too much sugar? There more drunken fools that work at City Hall coming out of Bars, lounges, and Taverns than there are CP
D employees doing it. How about THEM? How bout the Aldermen, like Dixon. Why aren't THEY targeted and followed around? And why don't they have to qualify with firearms they illegally carry?

Some wanna be douch bag. Said he was orland park pd, who da fuck cares. When he said he went to MSF it showed all of us what a fucker he is.
I bet you he was crying, "I dont want to do midnights so I will go suck ass at MSF, I am da real police". Go fuck yourself.
Dont worry if you drink im sure that some of the same P.O.s that snitch on each other all over the blog will rat you out to Jody.
If nothing else people, CALL THE DESK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why get the desk people jammed up? Got the cash to drink, pay for a cab...they take credit cards, too.
Go to a bar where you can stagger home on your own two legs.
LOL . . . All I can say is don't believe everything you think. . . ROFLOL
This blog is serious entertainment value.
When I drink too much take me home with you... : ) Ill be safe with you.
The victims of the accident were coming home from mannequin night club, what if their blood alcohol level was over the legal limit? What if they were past out drunk? Will their blood level be documented after autopsy? Not to cause any further sorrow for the family but the law isn't in place to to preserve peoples feelings. Just curious.
let's see possibly 12 dui's out of aprox. 10,000 policemen compared to 1 dui out of 50 aldermen.....I'd say our numbers are still better than theirs.

lets see... in the last 2 years alderman zero dui homicides... CPD four... bad comparison, junior... try again

Alderman (woman) Dixon a couple of months ago in 024, DUI, that makes 1 out of 50 or 2%
Anyone know of others in the past year?
2% of 12500 = 250; police officers would have had to be DUI's at a rate of 250 a year to equal the DUI percentage of the Chicago City Council and don't even mention the felony conviction rate for alderman, higher than the Chicago Mob.
The alderman arrested most previous to this was, I believe, Arenda Troutman, for bribery charges. She vehemently protested her innocence, and then pled guilty in court.
Dorothy Tillman was arrested in Alabama but she was a former alderman by then.
I know only of that one, Dixon, for DUI recently.
All I know is that if any person Sgt. P.O., Lt., Capt or exempt member bothers me by demanding to know if I am a ODPO at the salad bar I'm gonna throw such a hissy fit... Here I am trying to belly up to an ice cold plate of amber wheat, barley, alfalfa sprouts or a nice red plate of beets I'm gonna FREAK OUT.... Do I have to show my I/D at a salad bar ?or what?
O/T Ohhhh yeah we did overhear what you said today about Det. LSC... at the meeting That was disgusting.
Hahahahaha
Just like the MSF clowns, they will attract the newbeees on the job who think that they have done the job..... Well listen hear... Don't drink to get wasted...Dont drink and drive....If you can't hanle more than one drink then dont have anymore that that.......
A sure as this episode had been a tremendous tragedy to so many people in so many families... learn from it.... The accident was cause to LEARN.....
Live equally (respect those around you.. including their safety)
Earn your maturity-know when to say when
Advice from people who tell you stop! should be heeded
Respect yourself and your decisions
Need to know that you matter to all of us!!!
I guess that means bubblehead will not be attending choir practice with his young boys.
I'm not CPD, just CPS, but I had an epiphany a while back. I could either give up drinking or driving. CTA all the way!!!
Come over to my place boys and girls I am still fucking drunk.
Drunk with political power, 4000 strong lets get a new fuckin mayor and set of alder mans.
I guess that means bubblehead will not be attending choir practice with his young boys.

NOW THAT'S FUNNY!!! Seems that some things will NEVER change. I just feel bad for the young, impressionable kids on the job that buy into Bubblehead's B.S. He was a stroke as a patrolman in 011. Tell them youngsters about your infamous 011th District Tact Team Golf Outing, Ed.
lets see... in the last 2 years alderman zero dui homicides... CPD four... bad comparison, junior... try again

You can take your "junior" comment and shove it up your ass Pops! You are not the police.

He couldn't tell the differnce between the dopeslingers or Joe Schmoe either way when he was done with you,you walked away w/ empty pockets ALL THE TIME. JUST ANOTHER SHINING EXAMPLE OF THE BEST& BRIGHTEST THEY PROMOTE ON THE DEPT.
lesson here is......if you have car trouble get of the highway. they were in the way of the other driver! and when the paper took photos of the victim's relatives, were they not flashing gang signs?
12 years on the job, and i have only seen 1 young copper drunk as a skunk trying to get in his car. i was able to get him in my squad car, figure his address and take him home. only once in 12 years, and if i had to do again i would. most coppers are responsible. it's unfortunate that once in a while someone falls out. drinking should be a fun, social activity; not something to use to numb your pain!

Yeah but it was after roll call and it was the squad car he was trying to get in.. and he's a boss now
Is it too late to make a request for sponorship? Are all the good ones taken already? 'Cause I sure would like to proudly fly the colors of Preperation H on my squad car. Fast relief for that super exposed ass!
