Outfit? What Outfit?
Doesn't anyone connect the dots? Anyone?
- A politically connected Cook County state's attorney's office employee threatened to use her position to expose her ex-boyfriend as a federal informant against the Outfit, voice mail messages played in court suggest.
Prosecutors are investigating two cell phone messages that narcotics unit administrator Patti Simone left the father of her children, Nicky Rosales, during a bitter split earlier this year, Cook County State's Atty. Anita Alvarez's spokeswoman Sally Daly said.
Just a domestic squabble? Not really:
- Simone was once spokeswoman for former State's Atty. Richard Devine but now makes $67,000 a year working in Alvarez's narcotics unit. She has continued to work at the Cook County Criminal Court building since the tapes surfaced.
She is the daughter of Palos Township Democratic Committeeman Sam Simone.
The godfather to her children is Richie "The Cat" Catazone, reputed to run the Chicago Outfit's 26th Street gambling operation, while Rosales' cousin is convicted mob hit man Harry Aleman, Rosales said.
So a woman with "family" connections is working in the State's Attorneys office, close to all sorts of sensitive information of ongoing investigations, wiretaps, trials, etc., and no one blinks an eye?
Well why would they? It's not like the mayor's brother is married to the daughter of another Outfit connected family, is it? And John Kass hasn't written a series of articles about the mayor riding around in golf carts with known associates of Organized Crime groups. Or certain "minority" front companies landing all sorts of contracts aren't owned by people with all sorts of odd associations to underworld figures.
The mind boggles.

Once again, the Crook County judicial system in action. Working for the people. The connected people.
I always had a feeling that it was these political hacks that destroyed this department so they can sell more drugs and police will give a shit. The morale of this department is in the shitter.
I don't want to end up swimming with the alewives off Navy Pier, but I seem to recall some strategically placed mob associated cops traveling to Club Fed in the recent past.
I seem to recall a certain half Mexican/half Polish Superintendent who "retired" because of his relationship with an "interesting" gas station owner.
Just do a websearch for the terms "amoco" and "Merriam". It gets even worse.
I also recall a rotund former Superintendent axing the Organized Crime Unit(I forget the exact name) as soon as the forklift placed him in the "Sups" chair.
I could go on and on and on.
Anyone ever ask how soon to be Federal Inmate Twan Doyle ended up working in property? Who placed what calls?
The body rots from the head and the head is on the Fifth floor of City Hall.
SCC: Once again you expose the shit-stained underbelly of Cook County.
I have a question. Let's say I want to apply for a job in Cook County government. While filling in the boxes of the job application and they ask for my qualifications, should I write "I'm a big fuck-up" to enhace my chances of getting hired?
Thanks,
Phil
State doesnt investigate organized crime anymore anyways. All done by the G now.
If People only knew 1/2 of how far & wide & deep into CityHall the Outfit reaches they'd be wretching for weeks. Nothing New Here, move along....
C'mon. Everyone knows that there's no such thing as the Mafia.
At this point, how could they even begin to compete wtih Richard "Tricky Dick" Daley and his band of "legal" thieves?
Daley is one DUMB first class ASSHOLE!!!! HE says he doesn't understand America's obsession with guns. Hey DUMMY, no one is obsessed, it's our right to protect ourselves against the criminals who don't care about any laws and carry and use them against the working honest man. You are one stupid man! Now go to the Sox game with the fake father phlager
... And They want us to be "warriors"!
The joke's on us.
But if your a connected Chicago cop like anthony "twan" doyle they jump all over it! And like SCC stated she works in the states attornies office! Wonder how much info she has given out, in reagrds to cases! Come on alvarez latina you said you would "clean up" office! The only thing you do is talk!
i once heard a guy say " who dosen't know like 10 chicago cops".
well, here in chicago, who dosen't know at least one outfit guy ?
LOOK ! the shit is for real and it goes all the way to the oval office.
AND ..... fitzgerald ain't gonna touch it.
SO .... forgidabodit !
Doesn't matter anymore in Chicago. We now have a Chicago politican as our president. Who really thinks the Feds will investigate chicago corruption anymore? The corruption surrounding the olympic bid should set a new high! Oh well
just heard from a mechanic that area four garage and area 1 are getting shut on the 15th of july. all the mechanics from area four got layed off and so will most from area one. the others will combine with area three. if you think we dont have cars now, wait till about a week when these guys stop workin. i guess the teamsters didnt concede so they just let everyone go. WOW
Drama.
How does a non-attorney make 67G a year? Doing what? This is little better than Stroger's Tony Cole? Also, can I apply for that job, I promise to not to threaten to reveal c.i.'s information.
OT:
In the recent Supreme Court case case in New Haven which went in favor of mostly white firefighters who were denied promotions because too many white firefighters scored highly in the test, I found parts of Justice Ginsburg's opinion interesting:
"For the moment, we have Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's eloquent view. Writing for the Supreme Court's four liberals, she offers a more complete defense of Sotomayor's stand than Sotomayor and her colleagues did."
"As sympathetic as Ricci and the other white firefighters may be, Ginsburg argues, they are not entitled to promotions merely because they scored higher."
---
How about that?
"THEY ARE NOT ENTITLED TO PROMOTIONS MERELY BECAUSE THEY SCORED HIGHER."
Thank you Justice Ginsburg. That should do wonders for my case that I should be promoted because I am a white police officer who did poorly on the last Sgt. exam. Near 1700 to be exact.
I am damn glad to hear that merely scoring higher than others does not, in Justice Ginsburg's view, entitle me to a promotion. That's been my argument for years.
White guys who hate to study need promotions too. I've been discriminated against dammit. Now bump me over the 1,699 or so officers in front of me since they don't deserve to be promoted just because they did better than I did.
You gotta love these liberals.
I'M STARTING TO THINK FITZY MIGHT BE AN OUTFIT GUY PUT IN PLACE BY THE MIDGET.
Ask someone who worked on the old states attorneys narcotic strike force about their last case together. Started to get too close to certain people, after case was taken down, 8 days later the unit was broken up. They wanted to get high ranking dope dealers but only certain ones.
Now I know why Chicago has the best Pizza!
Sorry about the OT. 55 and out health care saves the City BIG bucks. The City replaces old timers (when they get around to it) with young pliable bucks for half the price.
FOP shouldn't have to give up a thing for something that saves the
City money, unless they are really stupid.
$67,000 and what does she do? Real press people would have a field day examining the pay and qualifications of the people working in the State's Attorney's Office. The holdovers from Divine and those put in place by Alvarez.
SHORTSHANKS,HEAD OF DA SHITCAGO OUTFIT BITCHES!
Birdie says a scholarship dick in cold case working on multiple old mob murders that involves known active players. fat and lazy but persistant enough to be a pain if not shut down
Was is ever confirmed if Abbate was given a job with Streets & San last week after being put on probation?
How much has this twisted fuck already spent on his olympic dream?
Hey you had the sister in law of Ronnie Jarett working at the right hand of both Daleys for years. (Yes, Jarrett real name was Italian). You also had his nephew in the SAO's office.
"Ask someone who worked on the old states attorneys narcotic strike force about their last case together. Started to get too close to certain people, after case was taken down, 8 days later the unit was broken up. They wanted to get high ranking dope dealers but only certain ones."
-----------------------------------
It's suspected all the major dope dealers were turned by the DEA/FBI. The dealers that are dealing with impunity are probably federal informants. Anybody remember Flukie Stokes?
As long as the "Inside guy" for the FEEBS controls the game the outfit supplies the marbles.
typical CCSAO always pointing the finger and telling how its someone else's fault, instead of criticizing everyone else and saying how corrupt other departments are, why don't you try and solve your own problems??? You bunch of bottom of your law school class, political hacks!!! Prosecutorial Discretion??? Felony denied!!!
OT nice to hear Lil' Tommy Byrne has cleaned up that whole missing asphalt investigation and recently promoted to capo regime at streets and sanitation. And they say there isn't an Irish mob in Chicago.
At this point, how could they even begin to compete wtih Richard "Tricky Dick" Daley and his band of "legal" thieves?

It's gonna take some coppers with 1. BALLS and 2. knowledge like yours to make a difference. If you are investigating something and it gets quashed like this, why not go to the feds? Call me a rat, whatever... a job I love is in the toilet because of crooked leadership at the city and county level. Cops that are worth their salt won't fault you at all on this one.... If states attnys office will have no qualms about sending Cozzi to the slammer or dragging any po in a barfight through litigation, I'd say the gloves are off...
OFF TOPIC:
SCC please consider this for its own spot.
Fairness For Officer William Cozzi
I am a Chicago Police Detective who came on the job in 1986. I have never met Officer Cozzi in my life, and know nothing about his case besides what I saw on TV. But what I know is our Officer Cozzi was punished far beyond his actions.
His plight has affected our morale and justifiable so. Who among us wants our career to end like his? He is in his 50's and when he gets out of Federal prison he will be destitute. But what can the rank and file do? Powerful people decided that Cozzi had to walk the plank for political expediency.
Individually we can all be cozzied for a minor indiscretion. However collectively we can move mountains. "Together we can" to steal a phrase from our uncaring overlords. Who is with me? Who wants to reverse this injustice. There is a simple solution. Money talks, and you know what walks. 120.00 dollars or Ten dollars a month for a year from each us deposited in a trust account in Cozzi's name run by the FOP or the Credit Union.
13,000 Chicago Police Officers x 120.00 = 1,560,000.00. Cozzi serves his time but his family doesn't starve. Cozzi serves his time but walks out of prison with enough to supplement his income that he has a similar retirement to ours. Brothers and Sisters please stand with me and support Officer Cozzi in his time of need. We can do it. We should do it.
look,common sense only applies to us as police officers. The rest of this city is blind to it. Which is exactly how this fucking animal Daley has been allowed to run wild for 20+years

OT, but I wanted to get this out to you....Injured P.O. Densey Cole left for Denver this morning. He was flown out of Midway and the flight was scheduled for 2.5 hours. No telling how long he will be there-probably many months. He was in good spirits, as usual, and wants to get started on his rehab. He and his wife have again asked that their thanks be passed along for all of the visitors, cards, flowers and prayers. You know what he asked for? A piece of banana cream pie. Soon Densey, soon.

U.S. indicts Chicago cop for hitting suspect
July 1, 2009 10:41 AM | 1 Comment
A veteran Chicago police officer has been indicted on a federal civil rights charge for allegedly striking and injuring a suspect under arrest, federal authorities said today.
Officer Craig Swistowicz, 38, was assigned to a federal High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area task force when the incident took place in September 2007. He has been on the Chicago police force since 1997.
The U.S. attorney's office in Chicago removed itself from the case because of Swistowicz's assignment to the federal task force, so the indictment was brought by federal authorities in Milwaukee.
Another confirmend "referral" by JFED because he knew Craig's dad
is influential and would have had this rightfully squashed.
Someone comes at you with a gun and you do what you got to do to protect yourself and partners and the next thing you know you get indicted but absolute bullshit!
Is JFED going to " refer" Abate's case too?
My GOD! Please bosses, don't ask us to do anything anymore because the great majority have "stopped" being the police for reasons like this.
As for the liberal public who are quick in judging us for doing are job, DON'T CALL US THEN WHEN YOU NEED HELP!
another p.o. indicted and thrown under the federal bus by j fed.
Lookit, I'm da Mayor of dis town. Yuze jus need tuh shut up an be glad yuze gotta job. When I wuz da State's atturney, I would yuze dat position tah, wuddaya callit, influence, yeah, dats it, influence peoples. Den I become da Mayor.
All deez years in office and I got all da right judges an lawyers in place soze dat nuttin happens to da right people. Now yuze people is anudder ting. Yuze don't know nobody, so yuze get what's commin to yuze when yuze go tuh court.
You think anybody's gonna touch me? I been doin this fur twenty years now. Nobody can touch me. I got dat Madigan down der in my pocket. Now his kid is da head lawyer. Dey don't do nuttin widout me givin da nod. I got all dem aldermenz in my pocket. Hell, I even got dat president in my pocket.
No one is gonna touch me. Now yuze git back ta work and right some tickets fer me. I need da cash.
An yuze an all of deze dopes what live here in my city is gonna git da Lympics wedder yuze want it or not. Deez friends of mine stands ta make a lotta cash on dis ting. And yuze know dat I always get my cut. I gotta couple a tree four envelopes already today.

J.Edgar Hoover said there was no such thing as the mob operating in the United States.
Hoover was the #1 Fed.
Granted, he enjoyed wearing a dress from time to time, but that can no longer be held against a man.
Now if he was the top Fed, and we know all Feds are honest and don't lie, then how can we think the mob is operating in America?
Our great leader King Dick denies any connection with the mob.
The Duff's? Who are they?
A street crew operating in Bridgeport for his entire life? Where are they listed in the yellow pages?
1st Ward Ald Roti? Who's he?
Outfit influence in Streets and San? Come on.
Outfit connection with Hired Truck or Silver shovel? Come on, quit bashing people simply because they have a vowel on the end of their name.
It's all legit kid, don't worry about it.

First of all...NO, your not qualified if you dont know anyone. Secondly, how much do YOU make, if your on the job I don't need to say more...other than are you a rat bastard lawyer? Third of all, this is way better than the Cole nonsense. Cole was just a prostitute for urkel's cousin, the compensation was with taxpayer money and that was the salacious part.

Funny thinking back of the ones we LOOKED the other way on so to NOT get dumped or cause ourselves RIFTS. Some of these shitheads throw the names around PROUDLY and know that is their trump card when you go them dirty!
I know I would be TOO embarrassed if I ever fucked up so to have to name a name. Just out of due respect for those I know and so to not to embarrass them either!
Rumors have it that the PUBLIC CORRUPTION FED units are taking the shitheads off the floor at County to see WHAT the POLICE did to them on the scene.....etc. etc.
If you are still WORKING DOPE you better dot your I's and cross your T's and say your PRAYERS you are not in the cross hairs!!!

7/01/09 @ 7:30am,
They just got rid of the competition.
There is no way the volume of drugs that get in to this country, get in to this country with out some people in very high places and positions of influence in our gov't allowing it to happen.
There was an interesting story reported today on Fox News about an ATF Agent named Dobyns (if I recall correct) who was under cover in the Hell's Angels Motorcycle Gang for years.
He made a great case against the gang.
While going to trial, as Dobyn's puts it, the ATF and the Gov't Atty's gave each other such monkey bites and threw granades in each others efforts to make the case the case was ruined and the gang members walked.
Then they, the HA, made it there business to tell Dobyn's that he and his family will never live in peace. He's been moving around the country for years.
What does the ATF do about that. Not a fucking thing.
No I ask you. How does that happen??
Dobyn's was quoted as saying he believed the case was ruined by the govt' atty's and the ATF's fighting over receiving the glory of making a case which there actions destroyed.
I think it was by design to spring the HA's. I mean how does that happen and then they don't have the back of there Agent?
I'm just sayin.
Maybe Dobyn's is a bad Agent but that hasn't been born out in any way in the media.

While Blago was ripping and running this state, what did the Attorney General do about it ??
Was she the only one that could not figure it out ??
Why does the Fed have to find all these crimes ??
Answer.... Because they are all in the same club.

OT, but I wanted to get this out to you....Injured P.O. Densey Cole left for Denver this morning. He was flown out of Midway and the flight was scheduled for 2.5 hours. No telling how long he will be there-probably many months. He was in good spirits, as usual, and wants to get started on his rehab. He and his wife have again asked that their thanks be passed along for all of the visitors, cards, flowers and prayers. You know what he asked for? A piece of banana cream pie. Soon Densey, soon.

TO ANON 7/1/09 12:46:00AM: Is my memory fuzzy but wasn't that same gas station owner the target of a mob hit that CCSPD Detective Ridges interrupted when he stopped the 3 assholes on their way to the hit and was shot to death in Prospect Heights 20 something years ago?
"It's not like the mayor's brother is married to the daughter of another Outfit connected family, is it? And John Kass hasn't written a series of articles about the mayor riding around in golf carts with known associates of Organized Crime groups. Or certain "minority" front companies landing all sorts of contracts aren't owned by people with all sorts of odd associations to underworld figures.

Firing squads out at the old Meigs Field. Set up lights and get the bulldozers out again to dig a hole in the middle of the night, Daley-style, work it three shifts, and sell tickets at the gate.
I take that back. Free admission. We've paid enough for this shit already.
If the Feds had an outfit snitch in the Marshals office, why should not the states attorney. I mean all is fair.
It is amazing how the Feds can't get obvious large-scale organized crime combined with political Corruption crime in Chicago, but can get a CPD Cop for punching an firearm packing armed drug dealing Illegal Alien one time, as he tried to defend himself in the performance of his sworn duty.
It is time to dump FOP and go with a real Union..
Ruling out a preferably bloodless coup d'etat, Chicago will remain the most politically corrupt major city in the nation.
The media and the feds are virtually worthless. The generally apathetic electorate is just plain stupid.
In a word, it's HOPELESS.
The outfit especially the 26th St. crew has had people in the SAO for as least 30 years that I know of, I.E. 1979 and guess who was the States Attorney then. Give you a hint, RMD.

Oddly, the feds here in Chicago declined to pursue the case, so someone took it to Wisconsin.
I wonder who?

News flash. Most of our department's merit promotions are white.

You are correct, Caucasians out-distance African-Americans if you merely look at total numbers of merit promotions in each race category, but not if you look at the ratio between the number of merit promotions in each race category as opposed to strength of numbers on the job in each race category. Figuring the ratio, African-Americans are way ahead. If you include women in each race category, and disregard gender, then figure the ratio, and you will find African-Americans are even farther ahead.
Fairness For Officer William Cozzi
You have a very good idea here but not an original. Years ago we used to have a fund we contributed to on the district level, some tact units even had it. If someone did time in the district or unit and was part of the fund we would take care of him. The department put a stop to it. This would be an intersting subject to bring up with the FOP, I doubt they would touch it, but intersting.

Agreed. I look back at my decision not to proceed with the hiring process after I was in it as one of the best decisions I ever made. Granted I was very conflicted at the time ('93)especially after years of waiting for the city to give a test, but that and leaving the State 3 years later were way overdue, should have done it a decade earlier, then I would have had a 20 somewhere out west. But hey, better late than never.....
Ummmmm. What's the docket # or name of the case? This is waaaay out of context. I'd like to read it for myself and decide.
7/01/2009 05:57:00 PM
Ummmmm. If you are too stupid to know how to Google it,you are too stupid to understand the case anyway.

Wrong.
Merit promotions are a statistical tie along racial lines based on who takes the test. That is the real reason why the city gives two tests. The first test determines the racial breakdown for merit promotions.
Each racial group (black, white, hispanic) gets an even merit promtional chance based on the numbers in each racial group who TAKE THE TEST.
Whites always get more merit promotions because more whites take the test.
The number one deciding factor in giving a merit promotion is race. The city tries to make sure the numbers stay in line so each racial group as the same merit chance.
Black officers sued about 10 years ago and the opinion detailed exactly how merit promotions break along racial lines.
Someone brought up the name Tom Byrne the new S&S Commisioner, ex Deputy Chief of the Central District. Is he the same Tom Byrne that had stock in the company company that he recommanded the city purchase its Tazers from. And is he the same one who recommanded to the suburban chiefs to purchase the same Tazers & the same company? Just asking since he is a Friend of the ass hat Daley!
Will someone PLEASE put Kathy O'Malley in for office at FOP or have her run for alderwoman or something? That girls got more balls than anyone I know.

Fairness For Officer William Cozzi
I am a Chicago Police Detective who came on the job in 1986. I have never met Officer Cozzi in my life, and know nothing about his case besides what I saw on TV. But what I know is our Officer Cozzi was punished far beyond his actions.
His plight has affected our morale and justifiable so. Who among us wants our career to end like his? He is in his 50's and when he gets out of Federal prison he will be destitute. But what can the rank and file do? Powerful people decided that Cozzi had to walk the plank for political expediency.
Individually we can all be cozzied for a minor indiscretion. However collectively we can move mountains. "Together we can" to steal a phrase from our uncaring overlords. Who is with me? Who wants to reverse this injustice. There is a simple solution. Money talks, and you know what walks. 120.00 dollars or Ten dollars a month for a year from each us deposited in a trust account in Cozzi's name run by the FOP or the Credit Union.
13,000 Chicago Police Officers x 120.00 = 1,560,000.00. Cozzi serves his time but his family doesn't starve. Cozzi serves his time but walks out of prison with enough to supplement his income that he has a similar retirement to ours. Brothers and Sisters please stand with me and support Officer Cozzi in his time of need. We can do it. We should do it.
Im in! and Im a beat facilitator. Call the 014 CAPS office and ask who is male facilitator for the 22's beat, and call me! I'm serious.
Remember ,as a regular citizen I've always appreciate you guys hard work !

Ask King Daley, and the alderman of that ward, they were hungry for the Cabrini land. They could not wait for kick-back$ from the developers, and fill their pockets from high tax home owners ..Thanxs to the them all the Cabrini Green ANIMALS are spread all over the city including the gold coast(fact) and even in some rural areas believe it or not.

Why yes, yes it is.
Wrong.

Your definitive, one-word opening declaration of "Wrong" made in response to my post, clearly and plainly stated your position, but then you susbsequently agree with me when stating your case, with the only difference being that I was comparing total numbers on the job in each race category in relation to the number of merit promotions in those same categories, while you were comparing the numbers in each race category that took the test as opposed to the number of merit promotions in those same categories.
However, statistically, using numbers on the job, AND, numbers having taken the promotional exam, with each individually opposed to the number of merit promotions, African-Americans are much farther ahead, as are Hispanics. Fact.
There is no truth to closing of any police garage, yes som,e gararges will lose more people then other garages but it is a senority issue, Area one will never close it is the main garage.
Some workers will get ransferred due to senority,
