Box of Twinkies Please
Cook County Forest Preserve police and agents with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration on Wednesday destroyed an elaborate marijuana-growing operation tucked away in a patch of woods in Palos Township.
In all, authorities burned about 6,000 marijuana plants that were being cultivated in six fields along a stream in the Edward M. Sneed Forest Preserve near 123rd Street and LaGrange Road.
If harvested, the 12,000 pounds of pot would have had an estimated street value of almost $2.5 million, according to Forest Preserve Police Chief Richard Waszak.
And a truly amusing picture:
This guy must have had such a headache the next day. He probably woke up amidst the wreckage of a case of assorted Hostess products and his NetFlix queue was all Cheech & Chong movies.

These outdoor growth busts are improper on weight. They weigh the whole plant whereas only the buds are usable. Stems and leaves? They really are no good.
Ah HUH HUH HUH Im so wasted!!!
haha... nice. too funny.
one of your best commentaries on a picture evar!
Dude...where's my car????
Ruthie is getting dumped this week
Off topic, but check out uptownupdate - great stuff about copwatch losing their camera and stuff in a burglary
I always liked a bottle of milk and chocolate chip cookies while some Hendrix is playing. Oh to be back in 1969 again. I think I know why the pot was a lot better back then, it wasn't near as strong as today's very high THC level stuff. No need to hallucinate after one little toke. The crushed green leafy substance of 1969 did just fine. Go Jimmy, more Purple Haze, whatever happened to Wavy Gravy? Gotta go to Woodstock now.
hope he doesn't have to take the pee test today
he got a bag of doritos and went home an ordered a pizza!
Reminds me of my youth.
I want a job with the CCFPPD when I retire.
Did a Sgt "misplace" her gun? Did she knowingly go on patrol without it and admit to going on the street without it?
--what's going on in 022??? the tac lt and all three sergeants were dumped . any truth to all or the majority of the tac officers getting dumped?

Veeerry true! Now that "Pretty Boy" Mike is in control, crime will be non-existent in 022! This clown has nooo idea how things work in tact and has never done it. Not that is rocket science but this guy has no clue on what he is doing. Good thing he's heavy and will land on his feet, as always. Just like he landed on his feet after the SOS incident in which he was the C.O. of the courts and none of his buddies were written up for not showing up in court, which turned out being a red flag. He should've got some major time. But again, CLOUT RULES!!
I/F
That's too funny! I bet he ate a box of donuts.
Geez, this guy has an out for life on drug tests, as long as he keeps the video or photo!
Legalize it! No more one-baggers! The horror! What on earth would we do?
LOL.... SCC, u are too funny with your comments....LOL
Apparently SCC never went through a pot-smoking phase. Marijuana may lead to junk food binges, but not to headaches.
Marijuana prohibition is such a massive waste of time and resources. And it leads to nasty relations with our neighbors to the south, and the crime that inevitably grows up around prohibited but desired substances.
Legalize and tax!
How can I get detailed to that unit??????
I volunteer for the next one. Uh sarge, I think I'm gonna need an exposure report.
Stems and leaves? They really are no good.

Unless you're selling to a white boy from Downers Grove.

Another BULLSHIT rumor. She aint going anywhere.
As much as I would like it to be true, its not!
stupid cook county forest preserve--- they could have trucked it down to mexico and sold it--- you can smoke dope in mexico now legally as long as it is for personal use--- little erkel could have sent carothers and troutman down there and closed some of that budget gap---- wholesale right out of the back of the truck, pesos only......

Agreed! The untold billions of dollars spent to enforce these silly laws would be better spent hiring training and paying a professional salary to Police Officers. Then maybe a dent could be made in the gun violence. Until that happens, you get what you deserve.
Any truth to the rumor that he requested a car to take him to White Castle?
And of course now pot is impossible to find on the streets of Chicago! Or its price has risen dramatically! Or. . . nothing has changed.
Legalize, regulate, tax. The prohibition against pot has worked just as well as the one against booze. Free up cops to concentrate on violent crime.

Betcha you'd volunteer to "clean it", The stem of the plant is also illegal and last I heard the leaves are smoked too, yes I could see it now, Have the officer's remove the stems so we can weigh only the good parts. Now turn the fan on facing out so your mother doesn't smell it
Looks like the inside of my car in highschool.

De-policing and decriminalization seems to be a trend for the future.
I don't recall what jurisdiction it was, but just last week while net surfing, I read a story about the Police no longer responding to retail theft calls with the total loss would be under $ 50. The retailers were literally told that if the amount of the theft was BELOW $ 50, DO NOT CALL THE POLICE!
I bet everyone working this had to had a piss test the next day Per Stroger. LOL
That's cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo
Thanks for the tip on the uptownupdate and their site tells a good story about how little community support these copwatch morons have,,,but it got me thinking,,,They held their fundraiser at the Catholic Workers House,,,so here's a typical follow the money scenario.
Not to pick on a parish but St Clement Church in Lincoln Park, where alot of yuppies have been attacked, gave $9000 to the Catholic Campaign
for Human Development which gave money to the Chicago Worker's Collaborative which supports the Catholic Workers House which supports Copwatch. Again only bringing up Clement because they have their contribution online.
At the very least, try and figure out where any money you give to charities is really going before you donate. Most of these dickhead groups get the money from people who would be surprised to find out they are supporting them in the first place.
--Civilian Post--
I have to say.......I would have loved that detail......and they have the perfect excuse to fail their next 3 drug tests.
if it gets legalized , can we smoke it?? I'm tired of jack Daniels and Marlboro's
I grew up out there...theres plenty of remote areas. I would not be suprised if they helicoptered around and found another patch of the stuff. We did some illegal night time snowmobiling through there, back in the day. Half of the fun was evading capture and ticketing !
Enough about mike ryan for Christ sake. He wasn't even in the court section when that SOS thing broke out. Mike was in 022 at the time and Jimmy ade had already stepped up to acting co of the court section. ..now it's Kevin oakes.
Mike is a stand up person and uf he had something to say on this blog or otherwise, he'd use his name.
So listen, u r the one person on the department who doesn't like mike Ryan. We get it. Now shut the fuck up. You are becoming annoying.
Hey SCC! Speaking of WASTE, check this link out
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/london/8219022.stm
Take a deep breath and hold it.
Anyone remember how the commander of 007 beat it when he pissed hot? That is one anyone who pissed hot for cocaine should use, it worked for Cmdr. FT, it should work for anyone.
ALERT ALERT ALERT
Area 3/ 019 will conduct a firedrill on Tuesday. The command staff wants you people to escape the burning building and meet up at the gas pumps.
Great Idea!, I'll be at the bar across the street.

I agree wholeheartedly.
TAX it like cigarettes and liquor...
Welfare would be self sufficient.
The only goofs getting high, are the goofs who are drawn to the allure of that which is TABOO...
I ain't sayin' nuthin'...
I'm just sayin'...
i volunteer to burn up all that evil weed on my rdo's. i wont even ask for overttime.
just need some purple pop and a bag of hot chetoes
Party on Dude. Hey, Where's Dart for the Photo Op?
Probably smoking a joint.
Ummm....If I stand downwind...yea...ummm...that's it...ummmm....downwind...Ummmmm...I can field test this crap and....ummmmmm....you know...ummmmmm.....get high...DUDE.....ummmmm....this is sone good shit....ummmmmmm....everything is...ummmmmmm...yea....cool....dude.
Did you ever notice that as a cop, there are certain sounds that you'll never forget: the racking of a shotgun, the slamming of a cell door, the death rattle...
I heard one an hour ago that I only heard twice before. It was unmistakable as I walked past a balconied 38 floor high rise--a loud yet muffled thud from a tennis court above my sidewalk view. It was immediately followed by the screams of apparent circumstantial witnesses.
Minutes later, the wailing sirens of CFD and 018 arrived at 2020 N. Lincoln Park West to pick up the pieces.
It was my second surprise of the day. Earlier, I spoke with the workers who had pumped out the waters of the South Pond in Lincoln Park for a project. A bridge crosses over the pond. After perhaps a century, not one gun was found. Incredible. I personally handled homicide cases where the shooters confessed to tossing the murder weapon into Lake Michigan, the Chicago River or another body of water.
OT: Who could they possibly replace the current tact officers in 022 with? Very slim pickins if you know what I mean. Alot of knowledge in 022 Tact. Be careful what you wish for! Oh Hell no!!!!!! Aight!!!!!!!! Whateva!!!!!!
A 7-11 super burrito is in order.
Chased by a couple of ice cream sandwhichs.
Damn, where da car keys?
5:16 PM
Former Cmdr. Frank T. alleged that without his knowledge, his lady placed her last gram of Peruvian marching powder on her clitoris. In an ensuing cunnilingus session, the commander inadvertently ingested the cocaine causing positive test results.
He was exonerated. In turn, he allegedly disciplined his lady.
Several years earlier, Lt. Ollie M. made an identical claim which resulted in his separation.
There was also an unconfirmed rumor that years ago, a female officer also tested positive for cocaine under similar circumstances after performing fellatio on a boyfriend. After review of the IAD investigation by the chain of command, she was supposedly vindicated.
So listen, u r the one person on the department who doesn't like mike Ryan. We get it. Now shut the fuck up. You are becoming annoying.

The "one" person that doesn't like Mike Ryan?? Hey, suckhole why don't you ask those in 022 who are stuck with this handjob everyday? You may be surprised to see there are MANY that don't think too highly of your guy!
not on topic but interesting

My vote is also to legalize it , tax it and get at that money in the underground ghetto economy. For you citizens and trolls out there, know this; the ghetto ain't poor. Some of the people are poor, but the ghetto has lots of cash flowing through it, in addition to other parts of town. Tapping this would easily pay for all the "programs" the politicians want to placate the masses with. Hell, it might even pay for our contract. Instead we fools take on all these "fees" in the name of whats right and proper. The world is WAY more complicated than this. In the end, it's all about the money!
"...We did some illegal night time snowmobiling through there, back in the day. Half of the fun was evading capture and ticketing !"
8/24/2009 04:01:00 PM
You evil daredevil, you!!!
Bullshit. I worked for Ryan in the Court Section. He did everything by the book. Maybe 022 needs some new blood on the tact team. Every time there is a new tact Lt. anywhere they pull their own team. He's not doing anything that isn't done everywhere. Everyone's talking smack because he's so straight. He can be a tough guy but if you're in trouble and you tell him the truth and he believes you tried to do the right thing, he'll go to the wall for you. He's got a high credibility factor with the bosses because of that.
What could they replace the Tact Officers in 022 with? Oh, I don't know..The employees from White Hen since that's where they always are or, unmarked CPD vehicles parked deeply in Mt. Greenwood driveways because that's the other place they always are, or Dominicks Parking Lot Security since that's the other place they're always at, cruising the Bourbon St. parking lot looking for their friends, or tits on a bull. You pick!
The only one getting in trouble over the Ruthie incident is the vicious, lying gossip that perpetuated the entire incident. The fool that used City of Chicago Police Department equipment to exacerbate this escapade. What goes around comes around. Stupid Stupid Stupid. Your out of control jealousy has finally come home to haunt you.
Midnight of the 1st of September you declare weed to no longer be illegal. By 8:00 a.m. every jagoff standing on those corners selling Indiana Ditch Weed goes out of business. No more ghetto economy "income" to help Mama wif da rent.
Who would drink from a roadside still when you could have 14-year single malt?

And who would that be know it all?
My great grand father ran moonshine to make ends meet. With the holy one in power we all may need to supplement our incomes.
Tax weed, grape pop, pork rinds and flaming hot cheetos. The city deficit will disappear.
Back in the 70's, after a judge threw out a seizure at a suppression hearing, he called us up and suggested that we take lab tested marijuana that was no longer needed as evidence and due to be destroyed and burn it at roll call. That way we would be able to say in court that we actually smelled the odor of what we know based on the lab test to be marijuana.
Bogus
I would schedual that guy for a drug test the next day.
Hello SCC,
How did you know that the guy would have a headache, he would eat a lot of Twinkies, and that he would rent "Cheech And Chong" titles? I just thought I'd ask. Just a little sarcasm and silliness from a lurker and relic from the sixties.

You're done too honeybunch, so run on up to li'l Ginger's 19th ward breakfast club and resume begging like a good little 19 ward poochette. And don't beg for no Elton John -Billy Joel tickets its what gotcha in trouble the first time.
