Now What?
An attorney for a Chicago police officer sentenced to 3 1/2 years for the videotaped beating of a man in a wheelchair launched a salvo against Police Supt. Jody Weis this afternoon, saying veteran Chicago police officers should fear he'll throw them under the bus if they step out of line.
"In my opinion, this prosecution brought by Supt. Weis was misguided and vindictive," defense lawyer Terry Gillespie said of his client William Cozzi. "I've got a message for all those fine officers in blue out there: After 15 years on the job, don't snap. You'll get thrown under the bus, and it'll be a federal bus, and it'll be by your own superintendent."
We're going to say something here again and once again, tiny brains are going to twist it and misinterpret it and claim we're saying all sorts of stuff we aren't saying at all. We will preface it with the following:
- Cozzi did wrong. Got it?
He did wrong. He got whacked administratively. He took a two year suspension and was reinstated by the Police Board. A board appointed by the mayor. There was no cover up. There was no "blue wall of silence." A court upheld the Police Board decision to reinstate.
Cozzi also faced a judge for his conduct. He pleaded guilty. He got probation just like hundreds and thousands of other people with clean criminal records get every single year in Cook County. He attended anger management classes, did community service and fulfilled all the conditions of his probation (which is more than you can say for the killer of Officer Valadez who violated his probation at least three times and never spent a day behind bars for it.) He apologized in open court to the drunk he struck and the city settled the civil suit. In other words, he was already punished.
And then he got fucked. Truly screwed by a fed looking to make a name for himself. And in Cozzi getting the shortest end of the shittiest stick around, an entire Department was lost. Instead of worrying about the problems in front of us (crime), everyone started worrying about what was behind us (J-Fed). And not just the street coppers. The brass started looking over their shoulders, too. And with everyone looking behind for the knife, leadership became nonexistent and now what have we got?
De-policing. Ticket slowdowns. Arrests down tremendously. Useless videos where the brass claims "we've got your back" but no one believes it. The attitude of "no public contact = no problems." Rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. Meaningless number shuffling. Bullshit missions and bullshit "strike forces" that do nothing to address crime but merely push it from one corner to another. Or from one neighborhood to another quieter neighborhood that used to be quiet and crime free, but now is police-free and open to pillaging.
A million questions and no answers. We are at a loss.

As God is my witness, I'll never do proactive police work again in my life.
THIS JUST SEEMS FITTING:
A long, long time ago...
I can still remember
How that music used to make me smile.
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And, maybe, they'd be happy for a while.
But february made me shiver
With every paper I'd deliver.
Bad news on the doorstep;
I couldn't take one more step.
I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride,
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died.
So bye-bye, Miss American pie.
Drove my Chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin', "this'll be the day that I die.
"this'll be the day that I die.......
Hang in there Bill, keep your mind sharp.
Agreed, I back you entirely. Cozzi fucked up, but he paid his dues...paid them in full by following his sentence to the letter. My only questions are where do we go from here, and more importantly, now that j-fed realizes that this move cost him an entire police dept. do you think he regrets it? Does he think "man what a fucking mistake that was" I hope he never sleeps well again knowing he buried himself under a mountain of shit just because he wanted to flex some muscle. I hope you read this and are proud you coward. that or you read this and immediately turn in that unearned star and shield
The attitude of "no public contact = no problems."
No contact, No complaint!
Rate my "Attitude" on our new evaluations: "0", poor, shitty...
Rate mt "Activity" on the evals: "0", poor, shitty...
Fuck the Supt. I wont do anything more than I absolutly have to until "Chief little big head" is gone.
Well said.
Could someone please post that on all Roll Call Room Walls so the Thickskulled Urban Crusaders can get a clue?
i'm done! i will not do another fuckin thing! let the city burn! 2 years without a contract! take 2016 and stick it in your ass!
I hope no CPD officer is kidding themselves now. This is the line in the sand. Jody Weis is a punk who works for a thief. Both would sell their daughters to a whorehouse if it brought them the slightest benefit. Every time this bloated, overpaid mutant puts on the uniform he slaps the face of a hundred and fifty years of real Chicago Police Officers. The good citizens of Chicago should not suffer for this terribly poor decision by the mayor. I do suggest that every Chicago Police Officer turn their back to Jody Weis whenever in his presence. He deserves no sign of respect or forgiveness for his cowardice.
time to march!!!
IM DONE
I saw a sad story in Philadelphia, PA about a vehicular hijacking and a subsequent chase. The offending vehicle crashed, killing some kids sitting on a porch.
Of course there is the usual "community outrage" at the police department.
But unlike here in Chicago, the Philidelphia Police Chief, Chuck Ramsey (Ret. CPD)HAS HIS OFFICERS BACK's. He said they acted properly and the fault lies with the 18 and 20 year old career criminal's who are in custody!
I am PROUD of you Chief.
SCC I agree with your assessment of the situation 100%. I feel so bad for all the active guys.
I spent 29 years on the job and Ive never seen morale so low.
And I just read on another thread that Dugan is blaming the guys for the death of Officer Valadez. is that true?
What a bunch of jag offs
Te Supt said that if he felt that he was the cause of the low morale he'd quit.
Does the Sears building have to fall on you?
Its you. Quit
Be safe and sound out there Try not to get discouraged.
Thanks for your service
SCC
You eloquently articulated the frustration that most of feel regarding the Cozzi fiasco. Those who still do not get it - simply do not want to get it. Yes - Cozzi fucked up but J-Fed using his influence to bring a federal prosecution that would had never, ever been sought, except to promote his personal agenda, is a hundred times more FUCKING WRONG than anything Cozzi came close to doing.
J-FED - Fuck you - I quit.
We are mad as hell and we're not going to take it anymore!
Any boss that tells you to go out there and work is not leading you. They are using you and they will hurt you in the end. A good boss would tell you do the min, but do it by the book. NO PROACTIVE POLICING.
Stay strong Bill, FOP please continue the fight for him. Just like Mike Mette don't give up, the truth behind all of this is still out there.
Hey Supt.
Update your plates on the bike yet?
Read the quoted finding below.
Funny, this never made the news. Wasn't there a Sergeant that did even less, yet took a bigger hit than this guy? (possibly a few days?) What ever happened to the new motto of leadership by example?
"Log/C.R. No. 1021212
On 24 October 2008, a complaint was registered with the Independent Police Review Authority, regarding an incident occurring in the 1st District on 15 October 2008, involving the Superintendent of Police, while on duty. It was alleged that the Superintendent participated in a partisan political campaign/activity by way of comments made to a television reporter, brought discredit/disrepute to the Department because of said comments, and was inattentive to his duty. Based on the recording of the interview, and witness/accused interviews, IPRA recommended that the allegation that the Superintendent participated in partisan political campaign/activity be “UNFOUNDED”, in that his comments did not speak to his role or participation in the campaign. Further, IPRA recommended to “SUSTAIN” the allegations that the Superintendent impeded the Police Department’s operations and was inattentive to his duty in that while in uniform and on television he made comments that favored a particular political candidate. IPRA recommended that the Superintendent receive a reprimand."
God Bless us all, we're fuck with this groof (J Fed) and his band of fed buddies.
"What's done is done,
and what's won is won
and what's lost is lost and gone forever."
Lyrics from: "The town I loved so well"
God bless Bill Cozzi. He is a great guy and a great copper. He is a pawn in J-Fraud's chess match, and every one of Chicago's finest can see him or her self in Bill's shoes - thrown under the bus out of POLITICAL expediency.
Go fuck yourself Jody P. Weis. You did this to him, and you can't wait to do it again to one of US. THAT is exactly why morale is deeper than the Marianas Trench.
"Now What?" asks SCC
I'll tell you "Now What"...
Now coppers will vow to do even less of anything proactive because of the injustice Bill Cozzi has been dealt.
Guys and gals will swear up-and-down that they're "done" producing numbers for the "bosses". Or they'll use the excuse of "self-preservation" (and rightfully so) for lying down.
Unfortunately this, like every other morale-killing incident suffered by the CPD will soon be forgotten when the W.C. threatens the separation of partners, the reassignment of cars or the limiting of time due. The intestinal fortitude put on display for this cause will magically disappear when the majority of big-talkers fold to the demands of their Lieutenants and Captains, lest they be denied time to catch a fucking Cubs game.
Coppers are too narrow-minded to see and retain the bigger picture in instances like this. They can't or won't sacrafice for the good of the whole if their little universe is even slightly disrupted. You can partially attribute this phenomenon to the college educated Generation Y-er's on this job, but that's a topic for a future discussion.
Some of these nitwits will bend over backwards to accomodate a supervisor that'd feed them to the wolves in a heartbeat. I got news for you, Mr. Three Year Wonder working J-Fed's "pet project" MSF...NOT ONE of these "bosses" will know you even exist when you're required to list all of your assets (i.e. home, summer cottage, Deferred Comp, vehicles) because you're getting sued by multiple plaintiffs for false arrest for findings of "No Probable Cause" on 1-bag drop-cases.
I can't speak for other districts, but in 011 WC's have recently been putting coppers on notice regarding the overall lack of activity, dwindling use of in-car cameras and other miscellaneous "misdeeds". The heat from 35th Street is definitely getting to some of these supervisors. Unfortunately, I have yet to hear even one copper with balls ask the requesting supervisor to put his/her activity "requests" on paper.
The moral of the story is this: don't forget shit like this can happen to any of us. Don't forget that we're without a contract (yet again) for 2 years. Don't forget that our pension was looted by a family of fuckin' criminals. Step back and look at the bigger picture, folks. And don't forget that more of us need to get involved in shit like this before they take even more from us. There has never been a more opportune time to speak-up and act on our own behalf - the Giant is wounded. Now let's kill the fucking beast.
When is the next march FOP???
This is the perfect time to march where is our union leaders?
Time for new ones
It's just plain wrong...SCC, you summarized this whole incident quite well. Very good.
That's nice theassbole who termed depolice is now indicted
Since we aren't worth shit... Please call in sick july 3rd if you are detailed to the waste of chicago.
As long as a JFED or any other outsider that did not come up through actually being a street cop this dep't will be totally lost. I've been on the job a long time now and have never felt as lost as i do now. We don't have leaders that we can trust or that have our back. How can you go out and work for someone like that?
Guess that's why nobody is anymore.
You can't police like they do in the suburbs or like the feds in a city like chicago. You just can't, otherwise the thugs will totally run the streets. Sometimes rules and orders need to be bent to set a precedent and a message that YOU CAN'T FUCK WITH THE POLICE. If we can't send that message then this whole profession is a total loss.
Cozzi = Idiot
Sorry . . he's a nice gut but a goof . . . It's no longer 1970. Wake the fuck up kids.
fuck this city, fuck my bosses, they ain't getting shit from me... i'm just doing what i need to do... i hope all hell breaks in this shit ass city...
15 YEARS??
They will fvck you if you have 15 MINUTES on the job!
THE COMMENT BELOW IS IN RESPONSE TO MY COMMENT TO SCC ABOUT THE CPDK GRAFFITI.......
Anonymous Anonymous said...
Unfortunately, comments like the one below and the so called "officer" that wrote it are why these assholes feel so empowered, leave the job dickhead and go push a pencil somewhere.
"Thanks SCC for making my blood pressure skyrocket. Seriously, why do an ounce of work more than required in some of these districts? Let the scum of the earth eradicate themselves....
Let the crack head smoke their crack,
let the hype toot their heroin,
let the shithead gang bangers shoot and kill one another for their dope spots.......
and in the and we'll just drive up, roll out some yellow and red party banners, laugh at their demise, and let the dicks sort it out".
DEAR 6/11/2009 08:01:00 AM,
I wrote the comment you are complaining about. First dumbass it isn't because of officers like ME that the jagoffs on the street feel so empowered. You see it STARTED when the "revrunds' started protesting for them, it continued when the city came up with our BULLSHIT C.R. system, and was forced to hand over the records to a shithead lawyer. It was pushed further when the Lovey pond scum found out they and the shitheads could make millions off the department by suing everyone. Other incidents included spinless bosses watching good P.O's left hung out to dry, a bullshit legal system which allow GOOD men like P.O. A. Vasquez get killed by shitheads that should be locked up, the A.C.L.U., S.O.S. being dumped for the actions of FEW, the Merit system, and last but not least a FED being put in charge that decided punishment served was not enough... and INSTEAD fucking a guy over to the tune of 3.5 years in federal prison.
So NO, I wont walk away from the 12 years I put into this place. I'll ride out my remaining 8 then collect a FAT check from the city while working and living far away from this shithole where I wont have to pay 10.5% tax for shit schools in addition to the 10-15g I'd be paying to pay for my kids catholic H.S. education, $150 dollars per year for shitty stickers, $450k for a small house not next to shitheads, and wonder how many unpaid furlough days I'LL have to take so the corrupt politicians can keep getting FATTER while i go 2+ years without a contract.
DID THAT SINK IN YOUR THICK SKULL DUMBF**K??
IF NOT take you no bar blouse and KMY!
THIS is what J-Fraud was hired to do.
DIS-BAR "JUDGE" LAMPKIN!!!!!
Well I don't know about anyone else but I got the massage.
You better not hit anyone if you like your job and freedom.
Once a working Policeman.
On the mark, very well put.But we need Warriors.Warriors that think outside the box.
well, he made a name for himself allright.
CPD is beyond repair.
Fuck You J-Fed, I'm done!!!!! Who's to say you won't do this again? The two shit heads who killed P.O. Valadez had long histories and were out on the street and killed a P.O. and Cozzie is doing 3 years for nothing. You did this J-Fed! Cozzie served his punishment which was set before you sold your sole to the mayor. You fucked a guy who did not deserve it only for money! I will never look at you or even be in your presence if I can help it! You are not a cop! Now go consult your policy group you whimp.
It's too bad so many fools will still go the extra mile for this joke of a boss, Judy Weiss.
U Cant Win in the Chicago Politics game- We the Police are the Enemy and will be used as a Punching Bag to get Votes! Do Nothing thats what Daley Wants get it Straight in your head
SCC wrote regading Officer Cozzi:
"And then he got fucked. Truly screwed by a fed looking to make a name for himself."
---
Oh that Fed, Jody Weiss did make a name for himself all right. And that name as far as Chicago Police Officers are concerned is SHIT.
We have a Superintendent we hate and don't trust and who is the single most destructive force within the Police Department.
Weiss has fucked things up even worse than anyone could have imagined. My activity this last year is less than 50% of last years and thanks to the Personal Performance page on the CPD Intranet site I can make sure it never goes above that level.
I am not working hard fo that man, never, I am not aggressive for that man, never, I do not trust that man and neither should anyone else.
Cozzi is in prison due to Supt. Jody Weiss.
We will never forget.
Its amazing as I watch and see how they assume us to be Lemmings and exist with no sense of self preservation at all.
Dont forget Deputy "I got your back" Dugan's role in all this. Sup put him in there to get some street cred. Way to sell yourself out Dugan.
Amen on that one brother.
Weis you miserable piece of excrement. One year and a half left for you jagoff.
The federal charge of Violation of Civil Rights .... anyone care to know how this federal charge came about?
State courts would not convict a cop.
That's it. That's all.
Guess that is no longer true is it?
what he did should of got him probation, not fed prison time. look at all the assholes who shoot people and only get probation. what a joke. Fuck Weiss. And I mean that from the bottom of my heart
Take the morale survey. That will make everything better. Yea Right
That's it I am done. I will only answer my jobs and no more.

=====
State court did convict him asshole. They accepted the guilty plea. You really can't read English, can you?
Time to do what the old timers did when I came on the job. Just answer your calls, don't come clear until you are clear from the paper " unless someone needs help, like a 10-1 ", if the bangers are on the corners let them be unless you get a call. Maybe someone will shoot them, one or 2 less bangers. Let them all kill each other but back each other up 100%.
OT: regarding the ongoing saga of the travesty of Daley's nephew involved in the looting of our pension fund.
**** THE FIX IS IN ****
Anyone who has been in Chicago more than 10 minutes can smell this one.
From John Kass, June 12, 2009.
"Investigators have sought recordings of closed-door pension board meetings that might shed some light on how Vanecko got the business, but the Tribune has learned that at least one pension fund decided late last year to destroy such recordings. City Comptroller Steve Lux made the motion to delete tapes of private police pension board discussions, possibly including conversations about DV Urban, under a state law that allows deletion of old records."
---
Fucking miserable corrupt bastards!
Steve Lux and John Gallagher and Ken Hauser and the rest. I hope they get indicted for obstruction of justice.
Great idea. Turn your back on Weis when he is in YOUR presence. Good visual message.
Bill Cozzi was a good man and a good Police Officer. He made a mistake. He paid for that mistake. And now he has to pay again. Because the new Superintendent wanted to make a name for himself. What a travesty.
Bill worked for me and I can honestly say that Bill Cozzi did the work of ten Officers. I actually had to take him aside one day and tell him to slow down. Can you imagine that? Bill was such a hard worker that a boss had to tell him to slow down. How many times do you hear that?
Bill would give you the shirt off his back, his last dollar if you needed it. He was one of the most kind, generous and compassionate men I've ever seen. I've seen him help out so many citizens, go out of the way to render aid that if I were to post it, we would run out of blog space.
Yesterday was a sad,sad day in the Chicago Police Department. One of the saddest short of the murder of one of us, that I can remember and I have many,many years on the job, have attended many,many Police funerals,seen many, many things.
The taxpayers, the citizens of Chicago also took one in the stomach yesterday. THEY took a hit as well as Bill Cozzi. THEY too suffered a loss. They lost one of the best Officers we had, one that served them and served them well.
Too bad the idiot at 35th Street doesn't even realize the tragedy of all this. This poser, this police impersonator should be ashamed of himself for what he has done. I will NEVER,EVER have any respect or admiration for this this "man" who has the nerve to tell me he has "my back" after watching him throw one of us under the bus. If I ever have the unfortunate displeasure of meeting him, I will simply walk away or turn my back on him. He has nothing to say that is of any importance or interest to me.
I've seen many,many Superintendents come and go. Some good, some bad.This guy will without a doubt be remembered not for the innovations he brought to us, not for modernizing the Chicago Police Department, not for upgrading the level of professionalism of the Chicago Police department, not for returning us to what we once were, the greatest Police Department in the nation, he will be remembered as being the worst, most incompetent,most hated Superintendent of Police in the history of the Chicago Police Department.
WEis no matter what you say you are alone on this job,dont walk up to me a say hi fella,like you did at 35th street.Im not you fella.You are a pimp.so when you need me the most i wont be waiting neat a bus.you are a rat ass dog.you are alone.when this city goes up dont call us,call masters.
As a 23 year vet, I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to picket outside 35th st. Fuck this Fed POS. I have enough time and the age to stand the heat. Any other takers?
Let the union organize it and get Fire and our families there also. Let's get this fuck out of town.
One more thing...Masters you suck!
Civilian Post---
So what can be done now ? How can good citizens help Officer Cozzi ?
---not a cop but not that --not a cop
Glad I retired 10 years ago.
J-Fed declared war on the working police officers and he is gloating over this win. I'm sure that he is H-five-n with his fed buddies now.
Since he was convicted by a state court isn't this double jeopardy? How can he be charged with the same thing twice. I mean I know the Constitution doesn't mean anything to the Dems but really?
OFFICER SAFETY- You can't let these gang bangers go unchecked!! There must be another way to show our disdain for the bosses.
Where is FOP; why no march; why no public statement?
They'll tell you because Bill is not the cause to get behind because it's unpopular with the public; FUCK THAT!
He is the cause to get behind because of EXACTLY what SCC put up on this thread. It's not what he did we support, it's what j-fed did to him that we are pissed about.
Driving by gang bangers will only make them bolder and get another officer hurt or killed.
rtd 8 yrs ago boys girls and very happy, now let the gun teams, tact, and all specilized units run around and get indicted and then stand there with a surprised look when they are called down to the Dirksen buildind and wonder why, and say i was only doing my job, lets see how many bosses go downtown with them to voucuh for their earnestness. not one i bet.at this time i can only say do whatr the rank and file are doing NOTHING.
6/11/2009 11:53:00 PM
speaking of earnest, earnesto idontmicromanage brown is leading 192 in this direction with the help of principal eviltothecoregushs. their intimidating supervision is forcing officers to take shortcuts and do flyers because of the threat of being dumped. e&e should be behind bars sharing a peanutbutter and bologna sandwich, but its gonna be the coppers for being intimidated into doing what they know is wrong. Wake up. do it the right way and stick together and weather the bizarro twinkie storm. its got to pass, right peterson, wake the fuck up?

Sorry..you are a pompous asshole. No shit it's not 1970. You wake the fuck up you know it all,never made a mistake on this job stroke!
You are the GOOF!
You miss the entire point! Nobody here has been excusing Cozzi's actions on the day in question. He fucked up. He said in Federal court words to the effect,I lost it, I snapped!
But he didn't hide from it. He plead guilty to State charges, served his sentence,made restitution/paid fine,completed anger management. He served a 2 year suspension.
He fessed up, and took his medicine..like a man.
Then J-Fed engages in some underhanded B.S. and hands Cozzi over to be crucified at the hands of the G!
Cozzi is an honorable man. He had no citizen complaints against him and had an exemplary record.Look at all the pieces-of-shit on this job that have engaged in far worse behavior or actions and get "covered for" because of their lineage on CPD. It's fucking disgraceful!
I've almost "lost it" at times on this job, against some that wear our uniform. Does that make me a bad guy? Some..like you..need a few shots to the ribcage with a sap,to adjust your attidude!
Quit acting like a pussy, second guessing everyone else, and playing arm chair quarterback from behind the comfort of a desk!
FREE Cozzi!
he got screwed royally. the drunk in the chair got what he deserved when he uttered fighting words.
QUESTION:
WHY CANT J-FED HAVE THE FEDS LOOK AT VALDEZ KILLERS?
AND BUY A BUTTON SHIRT PRICKY I HAVE PLENTY OF CLIP ON TIES I CAN SELL U.
God Bless him! Yes he did wrong but we all have at times. HE DOES NOT DESERVE 3.5 yrs in prison for that BULLSHIT! As an officer I can be beat, kicked, spit on and anything else they want to do, but the case gets thrown out. Yet an officer with no criminal record slaps a guy who quite frankly deserved it and he gets 3.5yrs in prison? FUCK THIS TOWN, BURN BITCHES!!
If this isn't the final straw,nothing is.Let the 3rd of JULY GO,you can't be fired for being sick.If you get sent there,call in,stay home.C.O.Z.Z.I.-I.T.I.S. is spreading.An out of control taste=no Olympics.

Couldn't agree with you more. I just don't get it I turn on zone 10 or 12 and I always hear squad he's running this way or that way. I mean hey who cares let him go, unless of course you have a victim or he did something directly to you or your partner. 99 percent of the time it is for dope.
Let them sell dope it, why would you care if you grab them. The only people they are affecting is the hype buyer who by the way we would be better off if he or she just overdosed anyway.
And for all of you guys that say I am dog well no I wouldn't agree with that totally. I used to be proactive but now I am reactive. I used to be one of those guys chasing the pack but now I say it just isn't worth it anymore.
For all of you younger guys and gals out there, stop working for a day or so and see. Don't worry they are not going to dump you off of tact, gangs or a gun team, they can't egt people to work there anyway.
The bottom line is this could happen to a anyone of us at anytime. We need to stand together.
I used to say that will never happen or that surprises me, but now those are two phrases I never use, at least not on this job.
Weisel do us all a favor get the FUCK out of here and take that clueless asshole Burst with you.
One more thing Weisel, if you want to make a change on this department whisper Daley's name in your budddies ears down at 219 S. Dearborn.

Coppers are too narrow-minded to see and retain the bigger picture in instances like this. They can't or won't sacrafice for the good of the whole if their little universe is even slightly disrupted. You can partially attribute this phenomenon to the college educated Generation Y-er's on this job, but that's a topic for a future discussion.
*************
Too funny. Coming from a guy who is from Generation Desk Bitch and all that comes out of his mouth is "Yes Captain" I guess you work so hard there so you KEEP your little safe job behind the desk and so you won't get separated from your two best friends on this job....the Stapler and Hole Puncher! Sorry, I work hard to keep my partner, get the day's off i want, and cause I enjoy it. You wouldn't understand though....it's like you telling the working copper about your "stressful" day at the desk and how you entered 40 contact cards blah blah blah.
Weis was given the job and turned to Brust and said "I'll show these knuckle dragging neanderthals" and proceeded to make an example of his authority by "crucifying" a man who had already made his ammends. But it backfired and we showed him that you can't bully the REAL POLICE. Now the object of his lesson gets sentenced to 40 months in prison. Please remember that Weis recently had another policeman fired because the copper punched the shit out of a jagoff after the officer got stuck searching the prick. Think about why that happened. The instant that offficer felt that pain in his hand, the thought of AIDS, hepititis, his wife his kids, he reacted like a COP. And thats why we can never work for this rotten FUCK, because he nor any of his minions know what we do for a living. PLEASE DO ONLY WHAT YOU HAVE TO TO KEEP YOU, YOUR PARTNER AND OTHER OFFICERS -SAFE - AND THATS ALL.
The FOP should demand that all officers assigned in a managment capacity anywhere in the department, immediately return to a district or area where watch selection/assignment is covered by the contract.
That means every cop in MSF, TRU, Gangs, Tact, Narcotics, Headquarters, Vice, Detached Services, etc...
Everyone who refuses will be labeled as a scab for the rest of their career.
The FOP should then demand that ALL assignments in this deparment be subject to the contract and bid into by senority. No more management options for patrol.
"...fulfilled all the conditions of his probation (which is more than you can say for the killer of Officer Valadez who violated his probation at least three times and never spent a day behind bars for it."
That's more than you can say for 99% of the dogs we deal with.
Let's see how much time Gaston and Walker get. It better be more than Cozzi. Jfed better be pulling the federal strings to lockup these two forever... oh right... there's no fame in it.
Well said SCC.Well said.But do you think anybody gives a shit except us?
Lets just keep doing what we're doing,collect our paychecks,get to our pensions and then get the fuck out of this city.Nothing more.IT'S OVER.
I can't speak for other districts, but in 011 WC's have recently been putting coppers on notice regarding the overall lack of activity, dwindling use of in-car cameras and other miscellaneous "misdeeds". The heat from 35th Street is definitely getting to some of these supervisors. Unfortunately, I have yet to hear even one copper with balls ask the requesting supervisor to put his/her activity "requests" on paper.
---------------
If this is the game, then I would hope that every beat car would call for a sgt. before arresting anyone. Tell the sgt. the facts and the first line of the arrest report would read, "Above arrested after the A/O consulted with his supervisor, Sgt. X, who related that..."
Every domestic offender that refuses to come from the bathroom is a hostage/barricade incident.
Every mark is an IOD report.
Every engine light means the car is down.
Every ticket is on a long form for the WC to approve or reject.
Every citizen is made to swear an oath in public in front of witnesses that the complaint is true and they will go to court.
Liquor violations require Lt. or above on-scene. Remember that.
Every battery is a crime scene. Every burglary must be printed. Every drug must be photographed and recovered by an ET.
Make this deparment suffer the rules they made to screw you over.
Unfortunately, comments like the one below and the so called "officer" that wrote it are why these assholes feel so empowered, leave the job dickhead and go push a pencil somewhere.
--------------
Why push a pencil somewhere else? I push one here.
Amen brother, Amen. Nothing else needs to be said. Jody can't leave this city fast enough. He will go down in history as destroying one of the finest police departments in the world.
If a decorated police officer of 15 years makes a bad choice in which no one is really injured but the event is caught on camera gets 40 months in Federal Prison even after he is punished with loss of two years pay there must be fairness in judgement for all. Supt Weiss has made himself accountable when he becomes aware of City Officials and Police Command violations of the law. Supt Weiss is now obligated because of his past actions towards Officer Cozzi to take proper action even though it will embarrass City Hall. Chicago is a corrupt City beginning at the top which needs disclosure to its citizens . There has always been the spirit of the law and this was not followed with Officer Cozzi whatsoever.
Really guys, cozzi got what was coming to him. I mean dont you remember the time Fr. Phlegmer and Revrund Jackass held that protest because the gangbanger with a gun that shot and killed someone received too light a sentence?
(for the really dumb one's out there this statement is COMPLETELY sarcastic)
WHY ISN'T THERE ANOTHER MARCH PLANNED???? I'M ALREADY MAKING NEW SIGNS....
DALEY=CRIME FAMILY
WEIS = DALEY'S PUPPET
NO TRUST IN WEIS
NO CONTRACT = DEPOLICING
WEIS RESPONSIBLE FOR DEPOLICING
Would the shithead have received a 40 month sentence if he slapped Cozzi while on duty? No fucking way! He probably would have received a misdemeanor battery with no felony charges approaved.
rename this blog to "second city citizen" for a week, or second class citizen for a week. to show the our "Support" for this department.
The sad thing is, Weiss will probably be gone in less then a year and then he'll get some fat, multi-million dollar contract to be head of security for McDonalds or some shit. Cozzi, gets his life ruined just so this Toxic Avenger looking fuck could make a name for himself. Hey! Guys with three years on the job! Stop doing shit! Ah, forget it, it's hopeless. The other day I overheard two clowns on the saturation team. One officer was explaining to the other how to write up the arrest report. It went like this, "Type down that you felt in his pocket a foreign substance that felt like narcotics during the custodial search. Just like the arrest we did yesterday." Jesus, the more time I get on this job, the more I notice the amount of retards this city has hired. Be safe out there boys and girls.

Who told you not to move the 3 or 3 at the top? Who told you to promote aunt Bea.......Caruopthers brother....patterson and others. How come you don't call your fed buddies about all the illegal shit from city hall? You didn't and you won't because you are a phony piece of shit that is in it for the money and your own fucked-up ego.
Gee,ya think ya might have anything to do with morale being low?
Billy C.....Stay strong buddy.
COZZI Is a great guy! COZZI Is a GREAT copper! COZZI Spent over $300,000 in fees,and paid the price! Now thanks to a super with no clue, COZZI is going to jail! Wow! And you hard chargers still want to get in shit! Think boys and girls if your suspended for anything "upon furthur review your j-fed wants you in federal prison"!

I agree with your assessment SCC, but a handful of the same disgruntled guys with anger management issues wrting they are not going to do anything anymore is not enough. There has to be a conserted effort among many if not the majority of us all, the P.O.s , the Sgts., the Lt.s., and even the Capts., to show our disdain for the Mayor and his lackey J-Fed. The blue-flu on the 3rd of July, a work slowdown during the Taste city wide, what ever the plan, it has to be all for one. United, we can win.
When you do nothing, you do nothing wrong!
Dont forget Deputy "I got your back" Dugan's role in all this. Sup put him in there to get some street cred. Way to sell yourself out Dugan.

Time to do what the old timers did when I came on the job. Just answer your calls, don't come clear until you are clear from the paper " unless someone needs help, like a 10-1 ", if the bangers are on the corners let them be unless you get a call. Maybe someone will shoot them, one or 2 less bangers. Let them all kill each other but back each other up 100%.
6/12/2009 06:53:00 AM
THIS IS THE ATTITUDE THAT HAS CAUSED A HANDFUL OF PO'S TO GET KILLED! These mutts know we are weak, and with pussy PO's like the person above me out there, we are truly fucked.
Dear SCC
I wonder if you have the ability to have a countdown clock on the site. The count be used to show how much time is left on J-Pud’s contract. I will start being pro-active again when two things happen. One when we get a contract and two J-Pud is gone.
I think the rank and file believe, and rightfully so, that the City will not be there for us when and if we need it.
When we bury our own, it is the rank and file that provide money and services to the widow or widower and their children. We do this with the help of the good citizens of the City, but the politicians do nothing other than the shameless photo-op at the funeral.
The politicians will push us under the bus when it becomes politically expedient. The first wiff of bad publicity and the politician starts to wag his finger at the Police Officer.
YOUR rank and file have finaly figured this out, so here is the Department you now have: WE will still work for the good citizen taxpayer. Black, white, brown yellow or red, WE have your back. WE will try to keep the thugs in check with the limited amount of resources and manpower WE have. Don't expect miracles, but we're still trying, trust me. It's what WE do, WE can't help ourselves.
To the politicians, WE are no longer concerned about YOUR number game. The thugs can kill each other. Tell YOUR nonproductive (other than reproductive) constituants, fake reverands and priests that they are on their own. WE are tired of getting killed for a segment of society that is rapidly causing it's own destruction and produces nothing but crime.
Hey 12GA,
Must be a fan of Bluestack and Brendan. Daley and his crew are no different than the British when it comes to taxation, taking what they want and running over anyone in their way. However, if people stick together as in IRE then change can come about and we can oust this bunch of thieves. It was all to convienient that the Cozzi debacle hit the news at the same time as the lil bobby denial. Daley and crew will say "whatever" needs to be said, at any particular time to justify what they have done.
gonna have to say it...laying down and doing nothing to prove a point to the dept. will accomplish nothing. they don't care...the only way to hurt them is to stop providing revenue! no more tickets! the pocket is the only way to harm them. If you don't police, then the shitbirds WILL get more bold, and the equals more funerals for us. I am all for forcing weis out, but it ain't gonna happen anytime soon, and I do not want to go to another coppers funeral because we are trying to prove a point to people who are blind!!!
John Q Public, you are about to receive the Police Department you deserve. You shall soon the work done on dailt basis. Just because its not news, doesn't mean things are not going on. The public thinks the only arrests made are the ones on TV. Well Here you go. You can keep this city.
How can any supervisor read this story and ask officers to be pro active?
How can any officer know this story, be proactive and put his future in jeapordy?
State charges, now Federal charges.
Whats next... Maybe OBAMA will get the United Nations to charge him with "Crimes Against Humanity"
One of the two Milwaukee police officers shot during a confrontation with a man in Walker's Point on Tuesday has been released from the hospital.
Officer Bryan Norberg, 21, left Froedtert Hospital on Thursday night and can expect a visit soon from Chief Edward Flynn, who will award him with a Medal of Valor.
Officer Graham Kunisch, who records indicate lost an eye in the attack, remains hospitalized in critical condition. Flynn pinned a Medal of Valor to Kunisch's hospital pillow on Thursday.
Class Act
Before Jfed, I would, everyday...
1.check out radio before roll call
2.after roll call check the in-box for reports that I could follow up on
3.pull up some pics of warrant offenders on my beat
4.grab a daily bulletin with the hot sheet on back
5.hit the streets looking for at least a tvb, preferably a head
AFTER Jfed
1. after roll call, head to desk to check my personal email
2.ask desk if they need a food run
3.check my radio out after killing time at desk
3.head to 7-11 for big gulp and usa today (screw the trib, times)
4.park. read, drink, only respond when called or when a co-worker needs a hand (ALWAYS)
5.eat while on a phony traffic stop.
6.take lunch later, during which I start a movie
7. smoke cigar (occasionaly), finish movie
8.check off.
Thanks Jfed, my day is much easier now! I have turned into the new era cpd policeman...YOUR ideal worker...I respond to calls, back up my co-workers (ALWAYS), and stay the hell out of sight. I used to be so pissed that it has come to this, but after investing in a dvd player and a cigar of the month club, I can ride out my last few years like this, I guess.... Could be worse, I could be one of those clueless TRU kids who is one mis-step away from the federal pen...
congratulations J-Fuck..! I want you to know as one of the last people to jump on the "de-policing" bandwagon..I am now driving it! you are such a fucking tool..! (Masters too..! did I say Masters..shit I should not have said Masters here(sorry to the Sgt from IAD, there are now 3 more BS CR# for you..) I have been on this job 23 years after 4 years in GODS United Staes Marine Corps, worked EVERY day, made alot of friends, lost a few too(RIP John Knight, Nate, AV). I wear 11 ribbons on my BLUE shirt(all earned, not for the rest of the bullshit you get ribbons for now) and was proud to call myself a Chicago Police Officer(I am 3rd generation, I wear my grandfathers/fathers star numer..something you would not understand) that is no longer. In the short time that you have been here you and that sawed-off half pint money glombing jagoff mayor have DESTROYED this once proud organization. We are OFFICALLY defeated and demoralized and I along with the my other 13,000(wink,wink right Richie? ;) )brothers and sisters in blue will not do another fucking thing proactively until you leave!
Done. 19P or 19B.
Jody bloooooows!! Anyone who still thinks Dugan is looking out for the "working copper", get your head outta the sand!! He's a hand-job! Maybe at one time he did, but he's a stroke!
Bill Cozzi, stay strong!
I/F
what injuries did the"victim" recieve from this beating? All bullshit, Cozzi thrown to the Wolves. Watch your backs out there, you can and will be next...
so now if your a white cop and get found not guilty in a state court, you just get convicted in Federal Court if a minority [now majority]. All for some bitch-slaps to some looney career criminal. Sure it was probably wrong, but FEDERAL PRISON TIME? What a fair and great Federal system of justice. I'm not doin shit anymore, too unsafe to do your job, too many pitfalls.
Dugan, yeah, a real ball of fire throughout his career, NOT.
Hey FLOP, what days will we picket the Taste????????
Get your chickenshit asses in gear.
What J-fed really needs is .............. more cow bells.
Cozzi gets more time for a one time thing, than a corrupt politician. Where is the truth in sentencing, when they rig the hiring process that effects thousands. What about the crooked loan guys who get 2 years and they fucked millions and land a high end job when released. No cozzi will get out and be a 8 dollar an hour truck driver. They don't have your backs don't be fooled young fellas. Stay safe and let's all try to make it till retirement.
Coppers are too narrow-minded to see and retain the bigger picture in instances like this. They can't or won't sacrafice for the good of the whole if their little universe is even slightly disrupted. You can partially attribute this phenomenon to the college educated Generation Y-er's on this job, but that's a topic for a future discussion.

I’m so tired of the lame excuse that it’s always the young guys fault. I’m not sure if you’ve seen the news, but a large majority of the people really stepping on their dicks lately were not the young guys. Additionally, the supervisors and the people running this titanic are not the young guys either.
I understand that there are a lot of hair gels working the MFS and TRU, but when you spoke of sacrifice for the good of the whole and the young guys ruining it, I’m going to have to disagree with you on that. So you’re telling me some guy that has over 25 years is going to stop working the airports, CHA, and Obama for “the cause?” The fuck he won’t, he’ll tell you to go fuck yourself. Also, when the 10 hour days and the computers in the cars came, guess who complained the most about it? Not the hair gels.
I know that it’s pretty easy to blame the young officers because that’s what the old timers did to you and that’s what the old timers did to them, but it’s not always the hair gels fault.
We citizens of this fucked up corrupt town really support the CPD, and hope there is some way for Cozzi to fight this to the bitter end. Even a layperson can sense how utterly fucked up this is. March! "No Contract, No Cozzi? No Work!"
The writing is on the wall, JPUD is out to fuck you over. Don't risk your freedom, your life, your career or your retirement for anything out there. Answer your calls, handle your jobs according to G.O.s, but otherwise stay hidden and keep those blinders on.
Stay safe.

ive already slowed down but now ill stop, pretty scary shit! great job Weiss u pretty much singlehandedly ruined the morale of the c.p.d. and therefore are somewhat responsible for people becoming victims to crimes in the future, hope u can sleep with yourself, and its sad to know that so many officers will still smile, wave and say "hi Boss" when they see you!
Wait... Didnt some high ranking bald boss, who resembles an 80's sci-fi cartoon just say something to the effect of "Back your officers when they are right... hell, h=back your officers when they are wrong..."
Hmmm... Yep, sign me up, I REALY want to run right out and do Police work!
I hope you guys don't forget who prosecuted this case.
I know Bill and have worked with him. He is a great guy. He made a mistake and is paying dearly for it. He does not deserve this. Thanks Jodi, you fucking dick. I will still not do a thing on the street. Do as little as possible people. Fuck Jodi.

Many people were not on the job in 1998 when Ramsey retired and left for Washington, D.C. so it is up to the people that were around back then to remind the people that have forgotten, and inform the people that were not around, about this guy Ramsey.
Be proud of Ramsey as much as you like, but be proud of him at a distance. Do not wish for him to return to Chicago as our Superintendent.
His BEST connections and friends here are Ron Huberman and Barbara McDonald, two of the rottenest pos in this city. McDonald and Ramsey were the godless twins until Ramsey moved on. Then McDonald nurtured Huberman and now all three are friends. Even though Ramsey is in Philadelphia, the allegiance and alliance is still active.
Outside of their allegiances to one another, not one of the three care about others in the least and will stab you without blinking an eye or remorse afterwards. The unholy three of Ramsey, Huberman and McDonald would make J-GOOF and his policy group look like Mother Teresa and her nuns.
I repeat, do not wish for Ramsey's return to Chicago. Daley's total reliance on Huberman and McDonald, she goes where Huberman goes, makes them strong enough, but having Ramsey here would only make them even stronger.
Off Topic but SCC could you please post? Let's help our brothers from MPD:
All-day benefit planned to help two wounded officers
By Linda Spice of the Journal Sentinel
Posted: Jun. 12, 2009 1:40 p.m.
A "Thank You Milwaukee Police Department!" event will be held all day June 20 to benefit the two Milwaukee officers gunned down and seriously wounded when they stopped a man on a bike earlier this week.
Organized by Steny's Tavern & Grill and Bell Ambulance, the benefit will be held from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. at S. 2nd St. and W. National Ave. in the city's Walker's Point neighborhood.
A Web site for the event, www.tympd.com, has been set up to feature the day's activities and to allow visitors to make contributions to help Officers Bryan Norberg, 21, and Graham Kunisch, 26, who were both shot on Tuesday when they stopped Julius C. Burton, 18, for questioning. Burton remains in custody on $1 million bail on two counts of attempted first-degree intentional homicide, use of a dangerous weapon.
Norberg was released from the hospital on Thursday. Kunisch remained in critical condition on Friday.
The day will include a 9 a.m. blue plate breakfast followed by a full day of family-friendly activities, live music, and food and beverages.
Anyone interested in contributing to the fund by mail may make checks payable to Police Officer Support Team Officers Fund, which is tax deductible. Those may be sent to TYMPD.com c/o Bell Ambulance at P.O. Box 070550, Milwaukee, Wis., 53207-0550.
Thank you!
Time for another march.

Mike got railroaded, Bill plead guilty.
Bailiff, call the next case
Let bangers kil each other. Let them shoot up their neighborhood because most of the folks don't cooperate with the police or lie to the police anyway.
CPD puts up the crime tape.
CFD hoses the blood down.
Everyone goes home.
Don't abe proactive. No one, repeat no bosses have your back, esp. 35th st.
If you go to work on the 3rd.you are part of the problem,not the solution.COZZI-ITIS is spreading!
This problem has a simple solution,let the TASTE be taken over by the animals,and watch the political fallout.If NOBODY SHOWS UP,J-FED is toast,and maybe it will knock out the Olympic fiasco.
Enough is enough,the single best statement that could be made is to let the single biggest event of the year be an absolute mess.The ensuing fallout could destroy the triple headed monster of DALEY,J-FED,and the idiotic Olympic nightmare all in one swoop.Lets muster up the steam we had at the city hall march.
Well I don't know about anyone else but I got the massage.
6/12/2009 02:47:00 AM
Did the massage come with a happy ending?
Hey Weisel!!!! Who the fuck do you think you are???
Every officer in this department will agree Cozzi lost it and fucked up. Now again who the fuck do you think you are to say the system in place here to punish someone convicted of a crime is not up to your liking??
He plead guilty in a Cook County Court, accepted the sentence imposed, completed his probation handed down by a Cook County Judge, apologized to the victim of his crime, and served a 2 year suspension given to him by The Chicago Police Board.
You not only shitted on Cozzi but on every Cook County Judge,Cook County States Attorney, Probation Office, and the Police Board. All these people got it wrong and only YOU could correct this miscarriage of justice. I think what really pissed you off is when the Police Board didn't agree with you on firing Cozzi, heck again a Cook County Judge agreed Cozzi should get his job back. So the coward that you are you asked your Feeb buddies in the Justice Department to indict Cozzi. What was caught on camera does not constitute to 3 1/2 years in federal prison. I think all these agencies got it right and you are the one that got it wrong.
Jody Weis may you rot in hell!!!!
Yea...go out and make more arrests and numbers! LMAO!
If the Mayor was smart, he'd fire Weis and eat the remainder of his contract.
Amen Broher SCC....

The "real police" now adays are too afraid to lose their spots on their goofy northside tactical teams.....NEVER HAPPEN!
This is the only job I know of where the more you do, the more trouble you could get into.
Hard work has absolutely nothing to do with promotions.
Do your job well and you might land in prison.
Do your job poorly and you might land in prison.
Between Cozzi and the pension fund problems, it really is time for another march on city hall. The next FOP meeting is tuesday, I hope we have enough people there to vote on having another march. I would like to time it so we have the maximimum amount of news coverage,and to have another shot at shooting down the OLYMPIC bid as well.
Benefit for A.V. tonight...3405 S western per mary mitchell ?
No offer from the City no raise no retro but they will not lay any policemen off for the next year.
I say we strike.
" I wrote the comment you are complaining about"
Who ever wrote this should run for Union President. You capture the feeling perfectly! This Dept. is squeezing the last drop it can find out of us all. Sinking to new lows by the day.
And I just read on another thread that Dugan is blaming the guys for the death of Officer Valadez. is that true?
In 18 yrs. I have never read anything more stupid. This has turned into the youngest police dept. and im working with a bunch of idiots. 2 years cant come sooner!
Explain the new evaluation system? The supervisors are training now on it. Where is the union? Did we get sold out?
Civilian Post---
This was a horrible thing. It goes against a fundamental right in American justice, double jeaopardy. It was a punishment so far beyond the crime that it is detestable.
Why hasn't SUpt Weis recommended any number of failed prosecutions for gun arrests, to the federal courts ?
Daley hires Supt Weis, Supt Weis totally screws the pooch, the police fall apart, the citizen pay in a rising crime epidemic not even correctly being reported, everyone loses. All because of a big ego and a dumbass leader who couldn't see the consequences of his stupid actions.
The de-policing of Chicago in the future will be looked at as a main factor in the fall of the house of Daley. Thanks Weis, you suck and Daley sucks, and if this was a blog about the rest of the city management, I'd list them also.
Thanks for allowing this rant SCC
Civilian Question---
Let's say I see Supt Weis on the street, and I call him a flipping melon-headed idiot, can I be arrested ? If I see him at a rally and loudly express my displeasure, is that disorderly conduct---If I am just standing there reapeating loudly, Free Cozzi, Free Cozzi, loudly but not violently,
just asking ? I have never been arrested, it might be worth it, but then again, the way things are, I'd be the only one at court to get convicted and locked up.

So, really why do the job at all? Let this city burn this summer.
We need another march...this is all becoming very upsetting.
Officers:
I'm a civilian with the utmost respect for what you do. And I thank you for everything you do. I intend to take off the entire week preceding the 4th of July as vacation days, and I hope you will, too. Either officially, or unofficially, and please let whatever happens in the loop, at the Taste, at the fireworks, HAPPEN. This City, and it's ungrateful citizenry and administration, deserve it. Bless you all and keep you safe!
I am sick and tired of all this bullshit, Cozzi did NOTHING wrong, if anything he was soft on that piece of shit. Get it through all your heads, police and citizens alike, IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE to SPIT on any1, let alone a Chicago Police Officer. That drunk sitting in a wheelchair, just because it is a chair, is lucky that he wasn't shitting teeth for a week. My mother would have knocked any1's teeth down their throat for spitting, let alone spitting on some1. FUCK U J-FED, YOU ARE NOT AND NEVER WILL BE A CHICAGO POLICE OFFICER. I HOPE YOUR DEAD PARENTS ARE PROUD OF YOU, JUDAS!!! When did it become acceptable for anyone to spit on the police, or for that matter, acceptable to spit on some1???
Can we get another march going soon?
The federal charge of Violation of Civil Rights .... anyone care to know how this federal charge came about?
Actually you are both right. The federal law was put in during the civil rights era when the police down south were the "good old boys" and so was the judge and jury. Most crimes against minorities, when committed by whites ended in "not guilty". So the government enacted this law. It is mostly out dated and used politically at this point. Case in point, Rodney King. But this is even worse because Cozzi was found guilty by a state court. This is not only a violation against him but a violation against the states. This was totaly uncalled for and not necessary. These are the things revolutions are made of.

1. Injustice To Cozzi
2. No Contract
3. No Confidence In Weiss
4. Pension Theft
5. Against Corruption In THIS City's Government!
6. Our Rights As Officers
7. Our Rights As Citizens
Please Do Add Your Thoughts...
Just read some more comments from some of u assholes that think it is ok to spit on a police officer, Cozzi did not over react, nor did he do anything wrong. You DO NOT let anyone spit on you. And while I am ranting, would you all learn how to watch a tape. From now on lets demand to see the beginning of a taped incident, not just the section that the democrat msm wants everyone to see. All you "play" police claiming Cozzi did something wrong need to get your heads out of your ass' (asshats). Repeat after me, IT IS NOT OK to spit on the police, or anyone for that matter.
For everyone that said Cozzi did wrong. Go screw yourself!!!
You get spit on by shithead and see how you react.
HOW DARE YOU MONDAY MORNING QUARTERBACK ANY OF US "PATROL OFFICER'S". IT IS SO EASY FOR YOU TO PREACH THIS WHILE YOU WORK BEHIND THE DESK! DON'T TALK ABOUT "HAVING BALLS" WHILE YOU HAVE THE CAPTAINS BALLS IN YOUR MOUTH AND ARE THE CAPTAIN'S PERSONAL BITCH. I LOCK UP THESE SHITBAGS BECAUSE I ENJOY IT! I MAKE A KILLING AT COURT AND I GET TO PUT AWAY SOME ASSHOLE THAT COULD OF POSSIBLY HARMED A FELLOW OFFICER OR FAMILY MEMBER!
SO HIDE AWAY BEHIND THAT DESK AND STAY IN 011 JUST SO YOU CAN TELL YOUR DRINKING BUDDIES AND FAMILY MEMBERS YOUR STILL THE "REAL POLICE" WORKING DA "WEST-SIDE" BUT DO US ALL A FAVOR AND KEEP YOUR BITCH MOUTH SHUT ABOUT POLICE WORK!
THE NEXT TIME I'M IN 011 I SHOULD LOCK YOUR ASS UP FOR IMPERSONATING THE POLICE.
I HAVE READ YOUR POSTINGS BEFORE AND I CAN'T BELIEVE YOUR STILL ALLOWED TO POST. I GOT YOUR # PAL AND I WILL MAKE SURE I SAY "HELLO" TO YOU IN A PROPER/NON-VIOLENT WAY THE NEXT TIME I SEE YOU (WE ALL KNOW FROM THIS BLOG YOUR THE GUY WHO WOULD GET A CR # ON ANOTHER COPPER) YOU MAKE ANYONE THAT WEARS THIS UNIFORM SICK! I WILL MAKE A DEAL WITH YOU G.P. OUR TEAM WON'T MAKE ANY ARRESTS IF YOU STOP SUCKING OFF THE CAPTAIN AND KEEP BRINGING HIM LUNCH, COFFEE, AND A FRESHLY BAKED MUFFIN YOUR WIFE MADE (YEAH I HEARD ABOUT THAT)
-FORMER 011 DISTRICT, NOW MSF
.....I just love dickheads like you who post...so much fodder to make fun of...Please use proper case. If you want to show an elevated voice level, use an exclamation point!!
Or two, if you REALLY want to yell.
I will now eviscerate your post...
(that means take it apart).
First, GP has more arrests in 011 in his career than your entire "team". I am pretty sure he would love to compare stats with you. So as for bitching about him being behind a desk, its called self preservation. I hope you make a killing off of OT because of your activity, because eventually you will have to give it up to some savage in a future law suit. But I don't expect you to "get it", as you probably aren't into fancy book learnin. In addition, I think he would be in favor of backing other officers up.
Second, the captain showers regularly, so his balls taste swell...
Third, you don't have the balls to confront him. That much can be learned from your post. Your all talk, no action....
Fourth, if you really think he would get a CR# on another copper, you live in another plane of existence. He is the one who usually puts out the fires.
Fifth, we like taking care of our bosses, because they are the best in the CPD. (J-Fed, never mind that last sentence).
In addition, his wife makes a wonderful muffin, with all natural ingredients!!
So go out there and get your heads, you cro-magnon, and save some of that OT for a rainy day. Guys like you just don't get it. You say your the "real police"...well I have news for you, anyone who puts on a vest and gun for work, and can be shot at, injured, and has to deal with the public is a real policeman. Taking a jab off the street doesn't make you the "real police". Threatening someone on the blog definitely does not make you the real police. Your a scared little pussy who would wet his pants if the shit really hit the fan....
That's just my opinion...I could be wrong...
Now go home and get your shine box!!!
Weiss came to this Department with the attitude that we were all corrupt...renegades....uncontrollable criminals...fed by the Media, Aldermen and Mayor's BULLSHIT!!! He was going to CLEAN UP THIS CORRUPT DEPARTMENT by any means possible. Well except for a few isolated incidents...and by REAL numbers...ISOLATED incidents, he managed to do more harm to a very good Dedicated Department in a short period of time. Maybe he should have waited to see where the real criminal issues were. The CORRUPTION at City Hall, the BIASED MEDIA, and Criminal Activity supported by these POLITICIANS! Well...trial by fire and he FAILED! The only thing that he SHOULD do that would separate him from the rest of these people...is QUIT! Go far far away and never look back. Maybe as he is leaving...he should make a call to his FRIENDS in the Fed Building and tell them where the REAL Criminals are and for once in his life...do the RIGHT thing...instead of all the wrong things he has done since he came here. We are not the bad guys. But so far...he's just a politician like the rest of them...trying to deflect everything from themselves and blaming us. You can only beat a dog so long before he has had enough and bites back!
Cozzi made a mistake and paid for it...he paid his dues and now is really being punished twice for the same crime. What does he do when he gets out? Maybe we should have a Cozzi fund...I'm sure those corrupt politicians who go to jail have something waiting for them...for their silence...when they get out.
Next time Weiss talks...we turn our backs to him. If he truly knows how ineffective he is and unsupported...he can just make up an excuse for a better job offer and leave.
These so called bosses...should know where we are...how we have been treated and they should also support us and not him or the mayor. You know why the numbers are down and you should support us, not them. Did you fucking forget where you came from???? It's our asses on the line..not yours!
Black wristbands for the Officers who have been killed. The money raised going to the CHILDREN...a TRUST FUND that would be carefully guarded for them. I'm jaded...don't want any people to have access to steal the money raised, Politicians...Board Members...whoever.
Buy City Of Chicago Lapel Pins...wear those UPSIDE DOWN! We are under duress...til this stuff stops...we wear them that way. Give that money to those kids too. No amount of money could replace their loved ones, but maybe something good could come out of all this tragedy. Bumper stickers upside down...Imagine that one!!! DOH!!!! It's the same way either way...gonna have to change it somehow...someway...but you guys get the idea...right?
This is something...maybe a start. But we do need to do something...we cannot keep doing nothing!

Meanwhile back in Shicago, we have a 4 year backlog on awards, some just coming out in BS frames, not the nice super thick cardboard frames they used to be in.........
Aside from the sentencing.... Cozzi lost his income/pension and has excessive legal fees. While he is away, he has to worry about the well-being of his family! IF EVERYONE AGREES that he was wronged, where are the benefits, the collections, the sale of t-shirts, etc... Anything we can collect to give this guy some peace of mind is OUR duty! Why doesn't somone from each district and area begin a collection (just to start with). Remember, his family no longer has insurance either!
T-SHIRT IDEA! Not only to generate funds to help Cozzi, but to let Weis know we ARE all done with him.
Hey Weis, Don't get cozy after f'ing Cozzi!
. So you’re telling me some guy that has over 25 years is going to stop working the airports, CHA, and Obama for “the cause?” The fuck he won’t, he’ll tell you to go fuck yourself.
Right, and he will not be chasing someone for dope, or arresting anyone without signed complaints...Good work, you just about got it.
It's about treating the job like your whore not your wife.
Sorry, I work hard to keep my partner, get the day's off i want, and cause I enjoy it. You wouldn't understand though....it's like you telling the working copper about your "stressful" day at the desk and how you entered 40 contact cards blah blah blah.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
And yet another asshole heard from
that thinks he's funny and got it all figured out with 5 years on the job. We'll all be laughing soon though...when they come around selling tickets because you're taking 30-pending. Now go drink some more of J-Fed's Koolaid and bring in those numbers for the boss. Maybe someday you'll figure it out, but I'm sure you won't. And I won't share any of my knowledge here; I'd much rather see know-it-all kids like you hang yourself for the laughs. You'll be one less jagoff on this job that I may have to one day ride 8 hours with. Fucking dummy.

I remember not too ago when people were praising the appointment of weiss as the supt. Some were saying this would be a welcome change. WELL THAT HASN'T HAPPENED.
Phil Cline is suddenly looking pretty good. At least he was one of us, and certainly would have not done Cozzi like j-fuck did.

It looks like Harrison Lifer has a stalker. A stalker that isn't smart enough to ever change his writing style or half-assed "insults", but tries to change/conceal his name/identity by using all capital letters one post and the opposite the next. You're not fooling anyone, kid.
About the only thing consistent about your weak posts is your cowardice.
Get off H.L.'s nuts already, you loser. He contributes some of the more intelligently constructed, truthful posts, along with Northside and a very few others. Those of us out of the loop post-retirement (and out of the state)appreciate the candid input - especially when it's done in language complimented with good grammar and punctuation. It's painfully obvious that the truth hurts you. If you're really on the job, are you sure you're in the right line of work? You FNG's seem to get more and more pathetic all the time. And before I forget, a real man NEVER mentions a man's wife (or children) if he's got a problem with that man. Hence my reference to your cowardice. You are what's wrong with this job kid.
Brilliant post, just the plain facts. J-Fed does not have your backs and the whole Cozzi matter demonstrates J-Fed is really not
suitable to go from being an FBI agent to managing about 10,000 people in a big city police department. It was an ignorant selection by an ignorant politician. You people will have to wait it out-eventually he will be gone and lets hope Daley is gone too. You now have a vested interest in dumping Daley like never before. Finally, look at the bright side. Joe Biden uttered to the country this week that you police now have Supreme nominee Judge Sotomayor covering your backs. Who needs J-Fed when you have a Supreme backing you?

Cline was, and remains, a fat bag of shit. He was only concerned about taking care of his friends, like lil' man Grau, and his kid Mattie Cline, and creating a post-CPD soft landing spot for himself. He could not have cared less about us. But for a huge girth, he was no different than J-GOOF, just more acceptable because he was perceived as being one of us.
12:50 A.M. is 100% right Ramsey is one big jag-off.The evil you have can be worse.
Dugan's email is a joke! Dugan sounds a lot like the fake father phelger and Daley using a terrible incident to promote their cause. He doesn't get that bosses like him are the problem. After many years of BS, lying and backstabbing, we just don't trust them anymore and we know they will turn their backs on us if the shit hits the fan just like they have done for years. They try to get us to go the extra mile for them so they can advance up the chain and achieve their goals in life. In the end they know all the responsibility will fall on the individual P.O.
The moral of the story is this: don't forget shit like this can happen to any of us. Don't forget that we're without a contract (yet again) for 2 years. Don't forget that our pension was looted by a family of fuckin' criminals. Step back and look at the bigger picture, folks. And don't forget that more of us need to get involved in shit like this before they take even more from us. There has never been a more opportune time to speak-up and act on our own behalf - the Giant is wounded. Now let's kill the fucking beast.

yet ANOTHER incident of drunk blogging caught on... well, THE BLOG! You, sire, are an asshat! PLEASE lay off the sauce and come back when you can put together a coherent thought without confusing our 14 year old visitors!!! and in the words of a REAL harrison lifer... GET FUCKED!!!
If this is the game, then I would hope that every beat car would call for a sgt. before arresting anyone. Tell the sgt. the facts and the first line of the arrest report would read, "Above arrested after the A/O consulted with his supervisor, Sgt. X, who related that..."

Great idea! Rather than the supervisors documenting anything against you, you'll document you can't make a decision all by yourself.

GET OFF OUR BLOG!!!
How come no one's saying shit about the dick head judge that handed out that terrible sentence.
SCC,over the last few days I saw references to Duggan's e-mail to exempts on your blog,many readers have no knowledge and do not understand these comments.So as to enlighten your readers I happened to have a copy and had my ace secretary send it to you.I hope you feel it should be open for discussion.
40 months fed time = 34 months total time - 3.4 months halfway house time = 30.6 months actual in custody time.
No previous criminal history + possible violence classification of offense = federal low security facility.
If offense fails to rise to the level of a low security facility, then a minimum level facility is where he'll be, ie., no fences.
30.6 months will seem like a long time during the first 6-9 months.
Once you get past the first third, the halfway point is right ahead of you.
Once you get past the halfway point, you can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
By the time you're at the 2 thirds point, time passes far more quickly than you'd have thought at the start.
And having an attorney as ballsy as Gillespie fighting for a reduction in sentence ain't a bad thing.

We can make "free Cozzi" T-shirts and mock libtards in the process by making them resemble the "free mumia" t-shirts or Che Guevera t-shirts that they're so fond of!
It's a great idea. We could support Cozzi and look fashionable while hanging out at the coffee house or bookstore.
"Free COZZI!"
Before Jfed, I would, everyday...
1.check out radio before roll call
2.after roll call check the in-box for reports that I could follow up on
3.pull up some pics of warrant offenders on my beat
4.grab a daily bulletin with the hot sheet on back
5.hit the streets looking for at least a tvb, preferably a head
AFTER Jfed
1. after roll call, head to desk to check my personal email
2.ask desk if they need a food run
3.check my radio out after killing time at desk
3.head to 7-11 for big gulp and usa today (screw the trib, times)
4.park. read, drink, only respond when called or when a co-worker needs a hand (ALWAYS)
5.eat while on a phony traffic stop.
6.take lunch later, during which I start a movie
7. smoke cigar (occasionaly), finish movie
8.check off.
Thanks Jfed, my day is much easier now! I have turned into the new era cpd policeman...YOUR ideal worker...I respond to calls, back up my co-workers (ALWAYS), and stay the hell out of sight. I used to be so pissed that it has come to this, but after investing in a dvd player and a cigar of the month club, I can ride out my last few years like this, I guess.... Could be worse, I could be one of those clueless TRU kids who is one mis-step away from the federal pen...
6/12/2009 11:52:00 AM
Guy there hasn't been a "hot sheet" for six or seven years. You must have started this so called new regiment long before J-Fed. How the fuck are you going to back up your co-workers when your hiding by the train tracks stroking yourself off? I could give a fuck if you lock everybody or nobody, but don't get on your high horse and justify your fucking around by degrading people who actually still wont let dude shit all over them. I know your so smart because you haven't even bothered to look at a Daily Bullet since Terry Hillard, but everyone else thinks your a punk. Now go get that fat bitch at the desk a crueler so she can ensure your coveted spot at the 1500 roll call. Do me a favor. If i take 30 pending don't go the benefit, I don't want your money or your presence. You are a career dog, you have never done shit. I'm sure if SCC could trace your IP he would see you been making this same post since the blogs inception. You just like to justify to yourself why your such a fucking pussy once in a while.
-signed future club fed who is future 30 pending, but a least I wasn't a punk my whole life, and would never buy food for the desk because he doesn't give a fuck what beat or what time he starts.
This Legal System that we have in this county is ridiculous. I was punched and kicked a hell of alot harder then that drunken bum that spit on Cozzi and guess what happened to me. The Judge kept giving the as?hole offender a continuance , seven times to be exact. Then I went on furlough and the desk did not notify me of the court date, this as?hole judge nolle pros the case. Eight days later I get notified to go down to 35th the 5th floor. I tell corp counsel just to reopen the case and go to trial. They tell me that they can't because that will look like I am retaliating against him for suing me. Don't you just love this system. A career criminal gets 50 grand from the city for punching and kicking one of the Chicago Police. Daley sucks and so does Weis not to mention Masters.
The only way the city will learn is if everyone would please quit working special CTA, CHA or any other detail the city offers. Also, please stop bidding to get over to TRU and MSF. I understand that people work special because they need the money, but I'm sure if everyone just quit for about 3 months the city would get the hint. Also, I understand that the old saying is any unit is better then theDistrict, but everyone needs to understand that the city will continue to shit on us as long as they get people to fill these spots that allows the city to get around our contract by using these units to justify the man power shortage. The city will always say that they utilize these units in high crime areas and the media buys this bs. We need to stand together and tell the city that we are tired of the BS and every one should bid back to a district. This would last maybe 3 months before the city began begging to settle the contract and get rid of Weiss.
Also, Daley sucks, Weiss sucks, and hell while I'm at it Masters sucks.
Stay Strong Cozzi, something has to give this is a ridiculous political move that should never have been allowed to play out this far.

You fools know absolutely nothing about Phil Cline and Charles Ramsey ... and anyone that slams them knows nothing about being the police ... Ramsey got screwed out of Superintendent when they gave it to the sweet old dude Terry Hilliard who only did what Daley and Townsend told him to do. Cline while he did take care of alot of folks at least appointed some guys who knew what they were doing, but did get stuck promoting some political suck ups. The thing is Cline did more for this department than any other Supe and I have worked for six. I am sure whoever slams these guys would not have the balls to say it to their face.
Hello? Employee Assistance Program?? Where exactly is St.
Michael's House located? I'm not gonna harm myself, well, maybe my
liver.....
Harrison Lifer is RIGHT ON THE MONEY. I couldn't have said it better myself. Every single word is true and the one's that ridicule you the loudest will be the first to step in their own slop. I never got in trouble on the job but I saw a lot of my friends get in trouble when they shouldn't have and saw others get awards and promotions when they they should have gotten handcuffs. The CPD was well aware that Carlton Flagg was big time trouble LONG before he ever came on the job, but politics are the ticket. That's just one example, I've got hundreds.
Dugan, I think you just put your last warrior in the joint.
I don't think Weis is going to get a "big money" job anywhere unless it's right here in Chicago. As I travel the country (retired) and am subjected to embarrassing rhetoric regarding the crooked mob politicians running the city, inevitably the mention of the crook FBI agent Police Chief (their term). It comes up out west, down south, out east, haven't been too far north yet. So it's not just you that's astounded by the boldness of their open criminal behavior. The entire country is. That's not such a good resume.

Ramsey did not get the spot because of his extra curricular activity.
Hilliard was Daley's choice to appease the reverends.
Cline was chosen to try and rally the troops.
The downfall the this entire department is Richard M. Daley.
He runs this department and decides what policies are in place. Why do you think it is so F'd up.

hope masters gets convivted for carrying a gun illegally! If you got clout though,as we could name many examples nothing will happen to you! Hey SCC How about a thread called Got Clout? In it we could list all the clouted coppers who have done major shit with little or no repercussions! It would be a great thread,and then we could expose how great coppers like COZZI got fucked over by jody!
Live by sword , die by sword.
BE A PUD !!!
Attention all disgruntled Coppers:
follow every rule to the letter and document it.
when it comes to vehicle safey alone there wouldn't be a car up and running,... not enough radios or batteries, not enough supervisors to do the follow up paper .
Do you pump gas? were you trained?
Were you shown what to do if it spills on you?
Sounds silly, silly , silly ????
Do the game like the pud did. strict letter of law no tolerance.
Try it it works.
Then post to keep fellow POs aware as well as to share input.
the game's afoot. right mike masters?
Make the day a game. How can I follow every rule exactly as written? If in doubt ask for a supervisor. Document. Tell the supervisor, up front, you are worried that a minor rule violation might cost you your job.
Repercussions? Document and get CR.
Pull in the W/C, D/C and Dist Mgr.
on paper notifications.
If everyone did this the city would see the mistake about zero tolerance. It's a sham-wow.
one copper alone won't work. a unit would, a team, a district would. yes, some cushy jobs might be lost or changed. document them.
but it's the correct way! pud-way.
it's also a great way to kill a boring day, stick it to that out of control supervisor, and most of all...be a PUD.
THE COMMENT BELOW IS IN RESPONSE TO MY COMMENT TO SCC ABOUT THE CPDK GRAFFITI.......

Unfortunately, comments like the one below and the so called "officer" that wrote it are why these assholes feel so empowered, leave the job dickhead and go push a pencil somewhere.
"Thanks SCC for making my blood pressure skyrocket. Seriously, why do an ounce of work more than required in some of these districts? Let the scum of the earth eradicate themselves....
Let the crack head smoke their crack,
let the hype toot their heroin,
let the shithead gang bangers shoot and kill one another for their dope spots.......
and in the and we'll just drive up, roll out some yellow and red party banners, laugh at their demise, and let the dicks sort it out".
DEAR 6/11/2009 08:01:00 AM,
I wrote the comment you are complaining about. First dumbass it isn't because of officers like ME that the jagoffs on the street feel so empowered. You see it STARTED when the "revrunds' started protesting for them, it continued when the city came up with our BULLSHIT C.R. system, and was forced to hand over the records to a shithead lawyer. It was pushed further when the Lovey pond scum found out they and the shitheads could make millions off the department by suing everyone. Other incidents included spinless bosses watching good P.O's left hung out to dry, a bullshit legal system which allow GOOD men like P.O. A. Vasquez get killed by shitheads that should be locked up, the A.C.L.U., S.O.S. being dumped for the actions of FEW, the Merit system, and last but not least a FED being put in charge that decided punishment served was not enough... and INSTEAD fucking a guy over to the tune of 3.5 years in federal prison.
So NO, I wont walk away from the 12 years I put into this place. I'll ride out my remaining 8 then collect a FAT check from the city while working and living far away from this shithole where I wont have to pay 10.5% tax for shit schools in addition to the 10-15g I'd be paying to pay for my kids catholic H.S. education, $150 dollars per year for shitty stickers, $450k for a small house not next to shitheads, and wonder how many unpaid furlough days I'LL have to take so the corrupt politicians can keep getting FATTER while i go 2+ years without a contract.
DID THAT SINK IN YOUR THICK SKULL DUMBF**K??
IF NOT take you no bar blouse and KMY!

Every decent citizen in Illinois should read this post. It's what happened and it's where it's headed.
If you do the right thing, if you stand for what's right, if you obey the law, if you have a shred of what's honorable, be warned...you WILL be held to a higher fucking standard. You will get fucked and the low life assholes that prowl the streets will go free.
---not a cop
I have just past my 30th year point and will be leaving shortly. Phil Cline was hands down the best super I have seen in my time. Yes he did take care of his friends but he also was a policeman and did care about us.
Meanwhile back in Shicago, we have a 4 year backlog on awards, some just coming out in BS frames, not the nice super thick cardboard frames they used to be in.........
