Olympics Back On (Quick Hits)
The last stumbling block to a Chicago Olympics was removed:
- The U.S. Olympic Committee had everything to lose and nothing to air.
That made the decision to postpone plans for its own television network, in deference to the International Olympic Committee's wishes, an easy one.
``There is no question that we underestimated the intensity of the reaction that we got from multiple constituents,'' USOC chairman Larry Probst said Sunday, after meeting with IOC president Jacques Rogge and deciding to postpone the effort.
The negative reaction came mainly from the IOC and TV partner NBC. All of it seemed to be hurting the effort to bring the 2016 Olympics to Chicago.
So now it comes down to the suitcases full of cash. Who will win? The smart money is on this hemisphere - Chicago vs. Rio. Japan just had the Winter Games ten years back and Madrid isn't going to get the Games right after London has them. We're under 50 days away.

Uptown shooting, blocks away from the "riot" video posted here and elsewhere this weekend:
Three people were shot early Sunday while driving through an alley in the North Side Uptown neighborhood.
About 4:50 a.m., three males, whose ages were not available, were in a vehicle traveling through an alley in the 1200 block of West Leland Avenue, police News Affairs Officer Amina Greer said.
An unknown offender approached the vehicle on foot and fired shots, striking one person in his arm, one in his thigh and grazing another, Greer said.
- Like many cops, Chicago Ridge Police Chief Tim Baldermann has walked the line between extending courtesies to outside officers for minor infractions and slapping cuffs on them for more serious crimes. But a courtesy he recently extended to an off-duty Chicago officer is causing him a headache.
This is why so many of us tell our neighbors we're garbage men.

This Singer is a real jagoff if this is true.
Singer, congrats! You just won the douchebag of the month contest! Just proves you can take the hillbilly out of the trailer but you can't take the trailer out of the hillbilly.
Officer Singer is a dumbass.
The Chicago Ridge cops gave you a break. Now you fuck with them?!!
And the law firm you hired?
Fuck you and fuck that law firm.
I have a feeling this is going to bite Officer Singer in his likely ample ass.

Singer, you dumbass.... Lets see how long we can go without one of us stepping on our dick!
Off Duty officer should trade in his gun for a fist full of ride tokens. Why can't these intellectually challenged mopes fail one of the screening tests and save everyone the embarrassment?
Hey Singer you dumb fuck. I hope Jody looks into this stunt now and gives you the Cozzi treatment. You get a play and then sue?
You scumbag, thanks for making the rest of us look like shit.
And this beat off from the Chicago Ridge incident is exactly the reason I'm embarassed to tell anyone that I'm a Chicago Police Officer. And people wonder why police courtesy has gone out the window.
Sooo, an off-duty Chicago Police Officer, William Singer jokingly displayed his handgun to a mall worker without identifying himself as an officer. How is this a joke?
Nice going DOOFUS! You've embarrassed yourself our Department and our Superintendent, (Oh... never mind that asshole). You shoulda left well enough alone. Now there's a CR and I'll bet they go after you on this one! Did I mention you're a DOOFUS?
Isn't the State's Attorney's Community Prosecution Unit supposed to be giving special attention to the Uptown neighborhood?
Who is this a-hole William Singer and how long has this idiot been on ???
Dumb copper gets a play and then sues. Come on down, you are the next contestant at the Police Board. Goof!!!!!!
Maybe Wild Bill Singer should be a garbageman?! Or is it he is a piece of garbage? Ya, that sounds more like it from this article. WTF was this all about?
RE: No Good Deed:
Dumb shit flashed his gun but not his badge? Deserves to have a headache.
Dear cheif Baldermann, we have some unprofessional, no judgement or common sense, real pieces of shit working on the CPD. You did the right thing and the rest of us NORMAL police officers on the job appriciate the courtesy. This A-hole does not represent the entire CPD..
Well, there you go. Another moron making it hard for everyone else in the dept. Screw up in Chicago Ridge in the future and you will hear this jerk's name as they slap cuffs on you. Professional courtesy just ended.
is the goof in the chicago ridge incident the same guy who used to work in 014 a few years back and always used to wear cowboy boots?
he should sue himself, because his just being himself would be enough to cause anyone severe emotional distress.
that fat fuck is a joke.
One question, one comment:
Exactly how many little bitches work as Police Spokesmen for this fucking department? Over the last month I've seen at least 7 different names and there's likely more. That job used to be done by people hiding under the Sups wing downtown. So how many chicken fuckers does Weis have hiding down in his stable who's job it is is to skim read case reports to the newswire?
And for the comment:
To the childish guy who fucked up in Chicago Ridge like a recruit playing with a new toy, FUCK YOU JAGOFF!!!
It's stupid fuckers like this idiot that embarass us all and keep the stereotype going. Now this ignorant fucker has filed a lawsuit against the Chicago Ridge PD for emotional distress because THEY LET HIS IGNORANT FUCKING ASS GO.
Someone from this pussy's unit should beat the living fuck outta this asshole for general purposes.
Fuckhead, embarassment to the CPD, child.
Fire this idiot Weis.

He came on in 97 or 98, flunked recruit training in the district 2 times..
I wonder if this Singer is related to the former Ald. William Singer who was a continuous hemorrhoid itch for old man Daley back in the 70’s ? In any case he definitely has a similar mope mentality. It is unfortunate this chief broke the golden rule if you have to lay your hands on someone you better give them the whole nine yards. That rule shouldn’t apply to brothers and sisters unless they are complete morons. I suppose that day Chief Baldermann’s moron meter must not have been working. Singer should have been charged with disorderly conduct. What an embarrassment Singer is the CPD.
I agree w/the other posters. If this Singer is doing what's been said, he's a stone jagoff. He's no better than the parasite lawyers and their ghetto clients who are in the news.
baseball and softball will not be included in 2016,that has got to mean rio has won!
Why can't these intellectually challenged mopes fail one of the screening tests and save everyone the embarrassment?
8/17/2009 12:13:00 AM
better yet, why can't the city give a decent (college level) written examination for this job? oh, right. because we might not get enough of X, Y or Z demographics to pass it. Gotta love the Diversity (lulz, not!)

Unfortunately, I doubt if any Police Department who hears about this incident will ever do the "right thing" again when it comes to the CPD!
The problem is, it is known as a "professional" courtesy and I can't quite see where this waste of skin, Singer, was ever professional or courteous. Some people just don't get it! Next stop, Call Back.
YOU,MR. SINGER, ARE A REAL JAGOFF!!
So the stars of the "riot" video posted here and elsewhere this weekend saw how lame they looked. The real criminal shooters from the West side must have stopped in to show the impotent Northsiders how the pros do it.
I was under the impression that Ofc Singer flashed his gun to a ride operator in a mall when some kids were acting unruly, in the connotation of, "If they're being too annoying, I'll take care of them."
I don't remember the original story and don't want to misquote, but I thought that's what it was. Then they let him go, which is terrible - do something like that and professional courtesy shouldn't be extended. Can you imagine, in other states where the 2nd amendment applies, if a CCW holder did this? He'd be in jail, license revoked for life and charges pending!
I recognize that this asshole doesn't represent everyone on the CPD, but it makes you wonder how many others there are. You cops have the luxury of only having to work with them (okay, not luxury, but less displeasure). We have to deal with them wielding authority over us. Its a shame assholes like this don't get weeded-out in the Academy.
Let's play devil's advocate: Say this same kinda thing happened, only the guy flashed his gun at a citizen going too slow in traffic. You can bet your ass he'd get away with it, scot free.
speechless

Where's this Singer work? How much time otj? If this caused him distress then he should be launched asap.
Weiss,I will speak for the police officers on the C.P.D., all 9600 of them.
You have our permission to "COZZI" this idiot.
OT - I stumbled on this while looking up other stuff. Keep it handy if you are ever curious about the Chicago City Council committees and which Aldermen are on them.

FYI - Protest against Ald. Helen Shiller at Truman College.
"If Helen won't speak to us, or take any action beyond hiding from questions, it's time we took the questions to her. And do so in an environment where we know we'll have her ear, and the media's.
And the mayor's.
Monday night. 6pm
Outside of Truman College. 2016 Bid Committee Town Hall. Polite. Civil. No chants or songs, just signs and people. Public safety is more important than any legacy project.
Helen will be there. The media will be there. Tell your friends and neighbors to be there."

Funny side note on the Olympics push. When they had the big event at McCormick Place the other day with the "Dream Team" and all the "important people" the menu was chicken and salmon, both cold. Everybody told us that the food was terrible. Several people (including one of the committee members!) ran out to get food during the event! Hope this is at least one nail in the coffin!!!
William was in the 97-2 class. As I have stated before he is a mush. He truly is mentally unstable and should have never passed the psych exam. He has been hidden in every place he has been to. Know he is in the traffic unit which seems a little dangerous considering he has a propensity to handcuff single women for no reason. The oficer should not be compared to the finr working men and women of the chicago police department, this is just another example of what a fine job the psych exam does as weeding out the nut jobs. Sorry Bill but you have no business being on the job. You are a danger to yourself and others.
Fuck singer another punk on cpd, come on j-fed man up and get the feds on him, you fucked a great copper COZZI and this guy singer really desrves it "just do it"!
This guy Singer is a fucking softball. He stopped me and my partner while he was working a baseball game in the traffic detail. To hear him tell the story, he sounded like a victim, being "man-handled" by some "punk kid" in oak lawn uniform. But to look at him in uniform, I can only imagine what he looked like in civilian clothes. He's just one of those coppers who just fucks up a good thing for coppers like bringing his whole family to McDonalds and demand free food. Stupid is as stupid does!!!!
Once a goof always a goof. Softball Singer never should have been on the job, this guys a ticking time bomb. No wonder the W/C in 22 kept this moron in the lockup,and yes its the same hilljack that used to work in 14.. Have fun at callback hillbilly.
If this is the hill Billy Singer who is in the Traffic Unit, they finally got rid of him in 014 a few years ago because few wished to work with him. He was in a severe vehicle accident before coming on the job, and as such, his brain doesn't work right. He is a gentle giant with his shoulder holster. He is dumb, but he always means well. I can picture the scene and it was probably silly, but not threatening.
Uptown shooting offender taken into custody last night by the 2361 tact team. Great job guys!
first off, thanks to the crpd chief for sticking your neck out. secondly, wtf is singer thinking. emotional distress? are you kidding me. what the hell were you doing on the kiddie ride anyway. i guess im screwed if i get stopped by crpd cause of the asshole. maybe weis' douchebaggery will actually help the department on this one by getting rid of this peice of shit.
"is the goof in the chicago ridge incident the same guy who used to work in 014 a few years back and always used to wear cowboy boots?
he should sue himself, because his just being himself would be enough to cause anyone severe emotional distress.
that fat fuck is a joke.
8/17/2009 06:38:00 AM"
uh, he would, but he ain't got no deep pockets.
Singer is a total jackass. anyone who has been around hime or knows him will tell the same.
What normal adult rides a merry go round w no kids? ENOUGH SAID!
Singer is my kinda police.
SInger ,YOU AR HE BIGGET LOSER!
Rio it is. My Magic Eight Ball has been telling me that for some time now.
Is he releated to the former wacky liberal Alderscum Bill Singer?
So what were the "gentlemen" in the car doing driving down an alley at 4:30 am? On their way to sing in the choir at early Mass?
I hope it was worth it you jagoff. You are just like these shit heads out here....you act like a complete asshole then when you catch a break you try and make a buck out of it. Well you picked a battle you can't win.
You were hoping that the CPD would not hear about your fuck up, the Chicago Ridge Police would just settle, and then you could buy your own kiddy ride and put it in your back yard so you and the wife can have a merry-good-time. WRONG.
Your little fuck up has now made the papers. You embarassed the CPD. Your name is dirt in this Department. IAD is involved and I hope you get what is coming to you. The Chicago Ridge is not going to "settle" like the CPD does in every law suit....they have witnesses and video. So you basically just fucked yourself and your career. You truly make me sick Singer.
My apologies to the Chicago Ridge Police Department. Please don't think we are ALL idiots like Singer.
Rubber!
FrankenSinger, I was just telling a colleague of mine about you. We were talking about nutjobs that should not be on this job. Suddenly, here you are in a story. Wow. I must have ESP.
That cocksucker used to work locku in 022. The poor W/C had no choice!! No one and I DO mean NO ONE would work with this jackass!!!
Nice goin ASSHOLE
Weiss,I will speak for the police officers on the C.P.D., all 9600 of them.
You have our permission to "COZZI" this idiot.

----------------
You do NOT speak for me. Man, I can't believe how quick people are to crucify someone when they weren't there and don't know the facts.
I don't know the man and I wasn't at the scene. And, by the way, Weis shouldn't have Cozzi'd COZZI, nor should he 'Cozzi' anybody else.
You're an ass. I'd say I hope you're Weis' next victim, but I don't wish that on ANYBODY, not any single one of us.
I DO agree with the 9600 of us part, though. Or less.
Sounds like he's gonna have a lot of witness's testifying about his professional, sportsman-like conduct, although also heard the first graders from Our Lady of the Ridge are all on the Chiefs side.
The kiddie ride operator should now sue Singer for emotional distress.......
Is he like the retarded guy Lenny from "Of Mice and Men"? Singer that is, not Weis.
Singer has a metal plate in his head. Literally. He should have been psyched off the job years ago. Hopefully the CRPD can supoena anyone from 14 or 22 or Traffic to bolster their defense. And don't neglect to take note of his lawyer: Vrdolyak's firm.

"We're under 50 days away."
Still time for a massive rush order of horrible fluorescent-green "NO OLYMPICS" signs, one for every lawn on the Northwest and Southwest Sides and Mt. Greenwood...but everyone wants a sign for themselves after someone else picks up the phone and has them made...
*
I talked to CR retiree who said they always had teenagers running the mall rides in the summer. If that's true then this metal defective probably scared the rats ass off some kid when he showed his "piece". I just hope Chicago Ridge countersues and bans him from the mall.
Just get a "No Olympics" stencil made and spray your own damn signs. Great if you want to grafitti a ward office also.
THESE GUYS AT CHICAGO RIDGE ARE STAND UP GUYS. A FEW YEARS BACK THEY HELPED ME BIG TIME. BACK IN THE DAY WE NEW HOW TO TAKE CARE OF SINGER. THIS IS SICKNING
