From William Cozzi

To All Members of the CPD, both Active, Retired and Other Supporters:

Your kind messages and support have given me strength. In less than 24 hours, I will have reported to the federal prison in Oakdale, Louisiana.

I will probably be without access to Second City Cop and the Internet. I herein designate retired Sgt. John Northen to register my name on SCC in the event I can communicate directly, through "Northside" or a third party.

Even if you only mail me a sentence or two, your U.S. mail to me at Oakdale will be greatly appreciated. "Northside" will provide you with my address at a later time.

I am resigned to my fate pending my appeal to the Seventh Circuit.

Most of all, I wish all of you well and pray that you will stay safe and go home to your loved ones.

God bless you!

Wow! That was powerful. I am on furlough and sitting in my backyard and everything seems so insignificant now. Is there a fund or any thing set up for this family? Please keep us posted. I never met P/O Cozzi but I pray for you and hope your appeal is heard. God Bless!

Bill

Hang tough and hold your head up...

Regardless of the "naysayers" many of us can relate to your consequence, but just not at this magnitude.

I remember being in SOS years ago and on a stop in 025 and you assisted us and gave my partner and I a real good laugh. I caught your name tag and to this day I remember ya.

I wish and hope some kind of justice comes out of this for you because this is no way for a man to be treated that was already disciplined on a minor transgression.

Many of us are worried who will be the next "scape goat" and I am guessing they may come at you and ask you to make a streaming video about your situation to "teach the masses".

Hold your head up and realize that this could have been any of us!

My best

CPD Sgt.

J-Fuck when you read this know how you ruined this officers life. He had did his pennance with the State of Illinois City of Chicago and the Police Board, and then you stepped in and tried to make a name for yourself with Shortshanks. Well you might have done that but you completely alienated yourself with those you are supposed to lead. You are clueless and should be ashamed. Be prepared to be tossed under the crime bus. Daley cant take the heat of these shootings much longer, The morale on this job is gone. You have almost singlehandedly turned what used to be a proud hard working police department in spite of all odds intro a :"do my 8 and go home" bunch of Police Offficers.

Bill Cozzi, Keep your back to the wall and your eyes and ears open, you will survive this tragedy. Those of us who knew you and worked with you knew your detication to the job, the City and your Family, what did you get for it, heartache and jail time. My prayers are with you Bill you are a good man.

Today is one of the saddest days in this Departments history.

Jody Weis has humiliated the fine men and women of the Chicago Police Department through his unnecessary and vindictive actions against William Cozzi and I, for one, am calling upon him today, to stand up with whatever shred of integrity that he may still possess, and RESIGN, as he promised, for causing the downward spiral of the morale in this Department!!!

He is, and will always be an ineffective leader as a Police administrator and has destroyed the pride and reputation of our members.

RESIGN, you asshole, and take your asshole pal Masters and the rest of them with you !

Truly a sad statement to read. Best of luck to you Cozzi. Those of us who know you know that you are not at all deserving of this sentence or charge. You are an honorable man thrown under a wobbly and misguided politically fueled federal bus. Your undeserved conviction has done more to lower arrest numbers than any contract issue could have. God bless you and stay spiritually and physically strong. As in the Old Testament book of Job, sometimes reality just doesn't make sense and the legal order as expressed by the courts does not correspond to any sense of justice as any normal person understands it. I will forever disdain Weis because of what he did to you and never forget this injustice.

Bill,

Hang in there............. We are all praying for you.... Know that the CPD family is here for you, you are in great hands with Northside as your VOICE, he is one stand up guy and a cops cop.

For you.......

In my darkest hour when I see no light.

I may even feel empty and hopeless at times.

I believe that at these times,
God not only carries me like the footprints in the sand.

God also reaches down to where I am.

God takes my hand and walks with me.

In my quiet time so silent within,

I believe that is when God talks to me.

And is my very best friend.

God made me a promise that he would never leave nor forsake me.

Not just in my darkest hour, God wants me to know that I am his shinning light.

I am special, as all his children are to Him.

One no more than the other we are just in different places.

But God is always in the same place.

With each and everyone of us, within us, working his Amazing Grace.

It is when I let go of God's hand,

like a shepherd, he enfolds me and brings me back into his loving flock.

With his divine and everlasting love, and protection he reminds me
In my darkest hour God is my light.


Your CPD family will stand beside you, infront of you and behind you when need be. We are here and everywhere, talking about the injustice that was done to you.

I think it's a great idea to send the WEISel and the city a message about our feelings on the terrible injustice taken against Cozzi. No parkers, movers, bus checks, curfews, ANOV, etc. If you don't see a petty revenue violation, there's nothing you can do. Take action only with felonies, life threatening incidents and answer your jobs.

Let me get this right:

The head of the FBI liked to wear dresses and get spanked by other men, while “investigating” communists and homosexuals. The fbi ran like pussies out of a building without firing a shot at the bad-guy, leaving a Chicago Detective to lie bleeding. And a former fbi agent has a Police Officer locked up on federal civil rights charges, and sent to prison, for giving a drunken shithead a well deserved “pimp-slap”.
Am I on target here?

As an average citizen I wish you good luck and Godspeed and a quick return with your conviction overturned asap. Most people can't comprehend what Police Officers put up with on a daily basis, it's to bad the CPD doesn't try to educate people on how they should behave, instead of telling Officers what they little they are allowed to do in these stressful situations. I'm sorry you and all your brethren have suffered such a miscarriage of Justice. When your friend posts updating your status please let us know if you can receive anything (i.e books etc.)

This message troubles me greatly. J-Fed has single handedly killed any morale that was left that Shortshanks and all on the meritorious exempts had not killed already. I WILL DO JUST THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF WHAT OUR GREAT LEADER WANTS. I will never write another parker unless personally order by a superior on the street while Bill is in jail. I will never write a city charge on a mover if I can find any state charge that will fit the offense.

I worked numerous times with Bill on special employment. I hope we can have the biggest fund raiser ever run by us when Bill gets out to get him back on his feet. I hope that every working unit in the city has people who will come forward for this event, but I am afraid that too many people will have short memories. I will never forget what J-Fed did I and will never let the new hires not be educated of the facts of life. Never forget!

Bill all my prayers are with you. God Bless.

Earlier today on AM780, I heard of a report about a survey conducted asking emergency room personnel what percentage of them suffered physical abuse ranging from being bitten, kicked, fought with and spit upon and also how many suffered verbal and mental abuse..It struck me at the time because what little I know personally of Bill Cozzi's case, I believe I read somewhere that he was responding to a call similar to the above listed incidents..While the report attempted to gain sympathy for the ER personnel, I wonder to myself exactly how many of those same people have been saved from being attacked or abused verbally by the action or the mere presence of a policeman. Next I wonder how many of the ER personnel present on the day of the Cozzi incident stood up for Officer Cozzi and spoke on his behalf during any of his judicial proceedings...Boggles the mind SCC, sorry for the long rant and if it seems a bit off course. My best wishes to Officer Cozzi, stay strong and keep your faith, God is watching.

I pray that the appellate court overturns your judgment quickly, and awards you damages. And, the Feds shold have sent you to a more fitting venue, like the place in WI where Gov "Bribes for Licenses" Ryan now resides.

Hey! Sometimes officers may have a bad day, week or month in producing revenue for our beloved mayor and "top cop". Hell, Bill Cozzi is having a bad forty (40) months because of ONE individual. Shit happens, right?

If I were above you in the chain of command, be it your sergeant or among the highest ranking officers in the CPD, I would understand this.

Of course, we will always have a handful of individuals who have no qualms with "sandbagging" innocent citizens for bogus violations.

In the event a ranking officer sees a possible violation and gives you a direct order to cite the supposed violator, you will always cover your ass against a possible charge of "insubordination".

There will always be a few overzealous suckholes that will want to curry favor with so-called "superiors". When dealing with such unscrupulous assholes and if a violation is doubtful at best, enter the name of the ranking officer on the citation.

TOGETHER WE CAN!

Anyone who doesn't believe this mayor and this superintendant in particular won't throw you to the wolves if it's politicaly to their advantage is deaf,dumb,and blind. For those of us who have been on the job fifteen years or more,we must accept that this job has changed for the worst. For the last half of our careers we must maintain a delicate balancing act. As "the real police," we will never turn a blind eye to crime. But at the same time,we must pick our battles. Along with morale,public opinion is in the crapper. Therefore,we seldom get the benefit of the doubt from the public. Because of the attitude of the top brass on this job,not many bosses at the disrict level will go out of their way to support us.FOP hasn't been much help either. The bottom line is,don't do anything to jeapordise your career,pension,or freedom. For the guys and gals with ten years or less,unless attitudes change,doing this job right will become all but impossible. Always watch your back,your partners,and that of your fellow P.O's. All you have is each other.

Bill, good luck to you. May God bless you and may you know His presence during this time.

J-Fed, you are no better than the ignorant masses who out of fear, or hate, or prejudice call for "justice" when in this case justice has been duly given in the first place. I don't know how you sleep well knowing that you ruined a man's life because you pandered to the masses who if they had it their ignorant way, they would draw and quarter Officer Cozzi.

Bill, I just hope that justice will one day be meeted out to J-Fed in the same measure he himself gave. I pray that will be the case.

Good luck and godspeed.

An Open Letter To Jody Weis,

I believe that you know in your heart that what you caused to happen to Bill Cozzi was an injustice and the worst possible way to begin your time here in the Chicago Police Dept.

You couldn't have found a quicker way to alienate a law enforcement agency than to do what you did. In one fell swoop, you slammed the door on an entire Police force who sincerely would have 'gone to war' for you. And, more importantly, you signaled to everyone that they would NEVER BE ABLE TO TRUST YOU. Your actions against Bill Cozzi were the biggest example of "ACTING STUPIDLY" I could ever imagine.

There are two things that you could still do, however, that would gain you some respect, at least on some level. First you could team up with the Chief of Security of the Chicago Public Schools who also happens to be tight with the President, (Shields), and ask for a Presidential pardon for Officer Cozzi. Second, you should resign your position as Superintendent. I guarantee you that as you fly off into retirement, the stress relief you will experience will be absolutely phenomenal.

There's probably a mortgage to pay and a car that needs service and food that still needs to be put on the table, despite him no longer having an income. I don't know the man, but what happened to him could have happened to so many of us.

I'd rather send my money to his family, instead of the 'unknown' recipients of my current charity deduction. Set it up and I'll contribute gladly.

Because that's how the feds operate. If you do something they don't like (such as giving an interview to a reporter in which you maintain your innocence), they'll even ship you out in the middle of the night from one fed facility to another farther away with no warning. (And this, my friends, is the truth - history from a long-ago CPD trial. Old-timers know it. Hell, the good Sgt. Northen probably knows the case of which I speak.)

"WHY DID HE HAVE TO BE SENT TO OAKDALE LOUISIANA?

8/05/2009 11:01:00 PM"


The Federal BOP determines the initial placement of an inmate using several criteria, the primary one being: which BOP facility, having the specific security level classification consistent with the inmate's, and closest to that inmate's designated release location, has an open bed, on the given date the inmate has been ordered, by the court, to begin serving his/her term of imprisonment.

The general BOP policy, to place an inmate within a facility located within 500 miles, or less, of their designated release location, is regularly ignored at the beginning of an inmate's sentence, due to the required date of commencement of said term being determined by court order.

Other than Officer Cozzi succeeding in his appeal far sooner than most, he will be stuck at the initial placement facility for at least 18 months, and that, only if his case manager isn't an asshole and begins the transfer request process after he, Officer Cozzi, has served his first 12 months without catching any shots.

The BOP rarely transfers an inmate solely to comply with their policy of 'within 500 miles' placement.

The BOP also uses, as a factor in determining initial placement of an inmate, any information which might indicate that a placement within a facility located farther from the inmate's designated release location would be safer for said inmate, as might be the case concerning a member of law enforcement possibly encountering another inmate(s) aware of said member's law enforcement background.

Haleas who is accused of a felony for allegedly not perfroming SFSTs on a driver who struck three parked cars and blew a .34 on the breathalyzer. It is time for all of the thin blue line that keeps this city from going to hell everyday and night to rise up in support of all the men and women who are wrongfully accused or excessively punished for a momentary lapse. Make no mistake about it. You have become the prey of the pols looking for a news story to lift their careers and for the bottom feeding lawyers who with the help of the federal courts make millions in civil rights litigation. The police in this city, county and state need to band together to support candidates for elected office who do not have animosity for law enforcement.

We once enjoyed this job, helping people not because we had to because it was in us to help. We enjoyed "fighting" evil, the thrill of the chase. its why we woke up, put the uniform on and came to work each day. worked in special units, did undercover work, became detectives, school officers, neighborhood relations CAPS. all to make a difference, even if it was just one time. thats a feeling we enjoyed, never asking for awards. just a simple thank you was all it took from a citizen that needed us to be there at that time. I know we are hated and unloved that comes with this profession. we as a brotherhood of officers will get through this to see you get what you deserve. the citizen will suffer in the interm and its really them whom should be screaming for your heads. we all know what type of leaders you guys really are, they dont. holding my hands up in slient protest.

Not enough for the WEISel. Noooooooooooooooooooooooo! He had to make a FEDERAL CASE out of common bullshit. He'll show the CPD he means business: FORTY (40) MONTHS inside for a good cop with an otherwise unblemished record. It wasn't even a "tune-up".

Answer your calls, take your time (be safe responding no accidents), the only "hot" call is a officer or his/her family needing help otherwise who cares? After what jfed did your insane to drive like a maniac, blaring lights and sirens, the animal does not really want us there anyway so why rush? Why? the bosses hey fuck them!

How do I put a few bucks in Bill's canteen account?

I'm just going to collect blue welfare now. Fuck the Stuttering Prick and J-Pud and his butt boy Masters. Not one lousy parker, mover, curfew, tow, DOPW, absolutely not one little bit of self-initiated anything until Bill's free. Until he's my partner, I roll on calls, roll hot ONLY on 10-1's, arrest only on a signed complaint, and as far as I'm concerned there are no parking violations in 022.

Makes me glad I'm retired and don't have to deal with the new CPD leadership. Stay safe and look out for each other. It's pretty obvious nobody else gives a shit about you. I hope somebody starts a fund for the Cozzi family. Anybody who wouldn't contribute is a fool because tomorrow if might be you.

Bill, I don't know you but I am sure you will win on appeal, in the mean time remember, alot of us have you in our thoughts and prayers!!! Thank you for your service in the military and your service to chicago. If I ever have the misfortune to meet J-fed, I promise I will ask him what he would do if some drunken jag-bag, possibly AIDS infected piece of shit were to spit on him? If those little love taps were the worst he has ever seen, he is a bigger pussy than I always thought. As always never forget Det. Joe Airhart, who I blame the feds for killing.

Officer Cozzi really got screwed by the department. He was caught up in a situation that any of us could have been in, and in some cases where, but not on camera. It is easy to lose it when faced with the daily stresses of this job and the daily pressures from the department administration. He paid his penalty and should not have been subjected to such a harsh second penalty after what appears to have been a clean careet. I am now retired and thank god for it!!I have seen the department cover up for many corrupt exempts in the past, from sexual harassment, to selling narcotics to burglary to frequenting illegal gambling establishments. What hipocracy!!!

J-Fed is just one more product of the mayor. I believe the mayor is to be held responsible for many of the problems in this country. Without his sponsorship, the president could never have become president, and brought all those friends of the mayor along for the ride. I believe he cares nothing for the people, and cares only for his family, and for those who can be used to benefit himself, and family. I believe he is in a large part responsible for creating the type of politicians that are ruining this great country. My only wish is that somehow justice will find this man accountable for his terrible actions.

Fucking Jody Weis presided over the abandonment of one of our detectives at a shooting scene, abandoned by two coward FBI agents who retreated under fire to a safe position while leaving a critically wounded police officer back at the shooting scene with a head shot.

That was Criminal.

And now, this scum low life FBI jagoff Jody Weis takes one of our own, who did no more than many of us have done when confronted with the realities of big city police work, and he sends this good officer to prison for almost 4 years, and this AFTER a prosecution and conviction in state court.

You won't catch me doing anything even remotely resembling police work from now on. I already was slowed way down, not it comes to a halt.

Jody Weis, fuck you. Your own demise and departure from my city and my police department cannot come soon enough.

And let us not who foisted this abomination upon us all: Richard M. Daley.

Remember, never forget. never.

We'll be having a pizza and beverage at the FOP Hall with Officer Cozzi soon enough and hopefully in a city without Jody Weis and Richard M. Daley in any type of leadership positions.

Bill, My prayers are with you.

To those of you reading this, Bill was a great officer! An untold thousands of lives were probably saved by this man and this is what happens to him. In my short three years I spent in 025, I have personally seen Bill travel from job to job, most often across the district to help someone in need. He would handle countless number of DUIs for anyone and leave those officers available for other assignments. I can't remember ever seeing Bill stop for lunch? He was a friend when you needed and a great asset to our department. MADD lost a great soldier today. We lost a great officer and patriot!

BUT WE HAVEN'T LOST OUR FRIEND

God Bless you Bill!!!

'Officer Cozzi really got screwed by the department.'

NOT TRUE! Officer Cozzi was disciplined by the Dept. for a particularly heinous act: beating a man with a sap who was inebriated and shackled and in a WHEELCHAIR. But, Cozzi paid a price for his actions...until WEISel came along and decided that Cozzi hadn't 'paid enough.' It wasn't the Dept. who screwed Cozzi...it was WEISel. No one else. The Dept. was satisfied with its 'pound of flesh'....WEISel
obviously wasn't!

Northside, Email is nice, and all, but can you set up an account for this man's family? Several posters have mentioned it already.

There's probably a mortgage to pay and a car that needs service and food that still needs to be put on the table, despite him no longer having an income. I don't know the man, but what happened to him could have happened to so many of us.

I'd rather send my money to his family, instead of the 'unknown' recipients of my current charity deduction. Set it up and I'll contribute gladly.


Maybe someone can sell a COZZI pin that we can wear in support of our brother, with proceeds going to the Cozzi family.

From the Federal Bureau of Prisons site on how to send money to an inmates account:




Funds may be sent to Federal inmates via the United States Postal Service or via the Western Union Quick Collect Program. In either case, the inmate must physically be housed at a Federal Bureau of Prisons' facility before funds can be received and posted. If the inmate is not physically in a Federal Bureau of Prisons' facility, the funds cannot be posted and will be returned or rejected.

U.S. Postal Service

Inmates' families and friends choosing to send inmates funds through the mail must send those funds to the following address and in accordance with the directions provided below:

Federal Bureau of Prisons
Insert Valid Committed Inmate Name
Insert Inmate Eight Digit Register Number
Post Office Box 474701
Des Moines, Iowa 50947-0001

The deposit must be in the form of a money order made out to the inmate's full committed name and complete eight digit register number. Effective December 1, 2007, all non-postal money orders and non-government checks processed through the National Lockbox will be placed on a 15 day hold. The Bureau of Prisons will return funds that do not have valid inmate information to the sender provided the envelope has an adequate return address. Personal checks and cash cannot be accepted for deposit.

The sender's name and return address must appear on the upper left hand corner of the envelope to ensure that the funds can be returned to the sender in the event that they cannot be posted to the inmate's account. The deposit envelope must not contain any items intended for delivery to the inmate. The Bureau of Prisons shall dispose of all items included with the funds.

In the event funds have been mailed but have not been received in the inmate's account and adequate time has passed for mail service to Des Moines, Iowa, the sender must initiate a tracer with the entity who sold them the money order to resolve any issues.
