West Side Follies
U.S. Marshals and the Chicago Police SWAT team responded to a barricade situation near the intersection of West Madison Street and South Homan Avenue which lasted a few hours this afternoon before being resolved without injuries.
According to Chicago Police News Affairs Officer [...], U.S. Marshals happened to be in the area at about 1 p.m. when they heard loud reports in the 3300 block of West Madison Street.
They saw people run into a nearby building on Madison. Moments later a female in the building got their attention and said there was a man with a gun inside, Kilmer said.
An e-mail relates that two subjects with pistols engaged another subject with a rifle, blasting back and forth across Madison. The US Marshalls were filming some "COPS" type show of them arresting fugitives when the gunfire erupted.
And the twist?
And the twist?
- The 011 District Commander was driven directly into the "hot zone" in front of the building and dropped off. Her driver left with her car and returned 15 minutes later with her bulletproof vest and star that she had left back at the station.
- How does this moron go to a scene of multiple weapons being fired without a vest AND how does she leave her star behind when her first month of being in 011 is marked by stopping people in the hallways for being out of uniform?
Another brilliant exempt move by J-Fed is already providing years worth of comedic fodder.

I have someone who fits this description perfectly. Commander JR unit 153 MSF. He has current leadership rank in the USMC and has served 5 or 6 tours in Iraq among other operations. This is not what makes him a true leader thou, he has common sense, he has compassion for his workers, has a sense of humor and is easly approachable. He is not a military robot. I've experienced this first hand after returning to duty to unit 153 after being stripped for 2 years. No, I am not a military veteran nor do I owe him anything or am I asking for anything. I actually believe in earning everything I achieve on this department and giving credit to someone when credit is due! I always believed that you have to respect the rank but you don't have to respect the person who holds the rank! My dealings with commander JR has earned my respect! He probably will never be promoted higher that commander because he has common sense!!! Thats a shame...
lt. j.a. and the commander of 011 had a little verbal battle to see whose dick was bigger during this event. she won.
Y am I not surprised that fing brawd has no business being on the street f her and the high horse she rode on

Dare i ask the specifics on the offenders? Just would like to know what i'm looking for as i live uncomfortablly close to that location.
She's a COMPLETE MORON. The other night we had an incident in 011 with a prisoner in custody. Usually when similar situations arise you see the command staff running around making phone calls and talking to various parties involved. This MORON spent the evening following the Area 4 deputy around like a lost puppy. She had no fucking clue what to do and literally stood in the hallway sending text messages to God knows who. She didn't even know who to notify....Don't they teach you that shit in meritorious exempt school? And she will at no cost speak to or acknowledge a p/o. If she has a complaint about your uniform....which she will find regardless, she will tell your supervisor to inform you of your infraction so she doesn't have to get off her high horse and speak to a lowly blue shirt. And you think we're going to stand at attention for you? HAHAHAHA!!! And by the way boys and girls....make sure you get those dispersals for her!
not sure if they have given her a nickname yet, but I vote for Penelope Pitstop. (wacky races cartoon TV character)

It's nice to be immune!
8/20/2009 09:26:00 PM
Hey, you're right! Calling them Immunes is much more correct and descriptive than calling them Exempts. Right, Masters?
Let me see if I have this right...the previous commander was very well-liked by the majority of the troops who are in, dramatic pause, 011. The troops in 011 were working for this guy, because he was a good boss who took care of his troops. They dump him because there were too many homicides in, another long pause, 011. They then promote a female whom everyone on this blog said was not the sharpest pencil in the box. She demands that people stand up when she enters a room (we're not in the academy anymore), screams on the radio like a headless chicken, and then goes out into a gunfight, in 011, without a vest on, not to mention, she didn't have her star on, make that GOLD star. AND SHE IS THE COMMANDER, THE PERSON IN CHARGE OF 011. Ok, I think I have it all now. Makes perfect sense to me. Good job J-Fed...another winner.
J-Fed, at one time, were you the GM of the Chicago Bears? These picks are as bad as Rashan Salaam, Cedric Benson, Curtis Enis,and Rex Grossman?
Bring back Eric, way better job then she is doing!

Calling Penny for your thoughts a moron is an insult to morons
J fed appointed no one to any exempt spot
Theyre all the Mayor's picks
At least she bothered to SHOW UP, SCC. J-Fed didn't do that for a whole bunch of "newsworthy events" for months after arriving here.
Let's face it, she wasn't going to be in the line of fire anyway.
The only bosses I know of who were ever shot or killed were off-duty occurrences.
Truth be told, I'm willing to bet if you checked the trunk of most Exempts, you wouldn't find much in there that would be duty related (ballistic protection, yellow/red tape, traffic cones of flares, etc.). This ain't news, nothing to see here.
Why do you drive around 011 without a vest in a unmarked squad is beyond me. Cuckoo! Cuckoo!
The leadership In this dept is hilarious. Having served in the military, I can honestly say this bunch of pompous exempt nonsense, Masters on down, I mean J pud on down, is like watching the Natl Guard try to get things done. This dept is such a ridiculous joke.
where is big bird when you need him?i'll bet she dont catch a day for not having her vest on while on the street.yeah thier right,two sets of rules on this job and i dont like the set the white shirts get.she is supposed to set an example.give her two days!!!
I once worked for a lieutenant who had no clue what he was doing. SO, he micromanaged the few things he felt he COULD control.
He made us sign in and out (an undercover unit with no set hours) and highlighted our signature if it was written after 0900. Duh?
He reassigned cars. No reason. Because he could.
He dictated that all shirts must have collars (remember, undercover) and could have no logos of any kind. He once spent an hour with a little tool that pulls threads out of fabric, to take the Polo logo off his own shirt.
He was petty and he was ineffectual. He knew nothing about what we did or how to do it, so he played his anal-retentive games to show he was in charge.
Sound like anypenny we know?
Even worse was LT J.A. 1199, please could you get off the radio for one minute and let the REAL bosses that were on scene do their job! Fine job by S.W.A.T. and all the P.O.'s that were there. Plenty of panicked bosses running around giving different orders to to the same P.O.'s, why not get on the same page you political hacks!
But wait a second! I thought the great new commander of the 011 district was suppposed to bring down the crime rate with her great expertise so how can there be shootings?...hahaha..Lets do another double secret seatbelt mission. They have been working well so far. lol...She is just a typical female boss who was promoted way beyond her abilities. God this department is doomed.
With the U.S. Marshals and every major, even not so major police department in the nation being filmed on "COPS", why is it that da Mare refuses to let "COPS" roll with the CPD in say 007 or 011 on a sultry Saturday night?

What a goof!
Shanckel and his lady are fun to party with...To all you who think military is the answer your stupid. The military is as or more political than we are. That said J.R. from 153 is a great boss, in my opinon in spite of his military(command) background. He is a father and family man who knows what that takes. He dosent play police boss all day than head to gym and than home to his cats.
The Commander of 011 is a true bozo! She has no clue about police work!
she is not the Police! repeat She is not the Police! They are not promoting real Police anymore they are dumping them to give the spots to politically connected morons!!!
Why does the media not run this stuff? Let the public know what is going on and who we have "leading" us into battle! Always sweep it under the rug!
Can't wait until the next round of commanders are appointed. In the words of flounder. "Ho boy this is gonna be great!!!" and how about Mr Blutarski "nothing is over until we decide" to work that is, not for you commander jackass..

Don't work for Commander Callaway, but was at the shooting in 007 where the 9yr old girl got shot and her 1st class father left her because he had a graze wound to the leg.Anyway, we were called in along with MSF, we were waiting for our marching orders, and he came up to us, 1st thing he did was introduce himself and then he said thankyou for coming, and reminded us to be careful that these pieces of shit are not worth us getting injured or worse. I know its not a lot, but it was appreciated and a class act...

Sounds like the house-mouse doesn't like hearing bashing against their boss.
Speaking of Cmmdr JR in 153. I worked with him in 050. He is one the the best guys around, very knowledable and understanding. He listens before acting. I think the only reason he went to Iraq is that the conditions were better there than here.
I've never worked in 011, so excuse me if my comment is a little off. From what I gathered about 011, is that it is, or at least was, a district that clouted guys that actually wanted to do police work, went. 015 was a dumping ground, but 011 was not. Needless to say, after having generations of hard working cops that come from a long line of relatives that were working cops, (I'm sure there were some exceptions,) that the district gets this goof dumped on them?! I heard Starks wasn't as bad as this cretin. Really, I thought it was a joke or an exaggeration when I heard about your new Commander. Unfortunatly for you guys, I guess not. I could see that type of boss in the far south side, like the Burger Queen, but in 011? The district with the highest murder rate? It just seems to me that once you think this dept. can't sink any lower, it does. Be safe out there.
I am so ANGRY with you hacks from 011 RANGERS...DID ANY OF YOU tell penny that she was out of uniform....HA HA HA HA HA ....BOYS AND GIRLS please becareful out there we all hav e to ride this $%#@ out.

Just say yes, then do what you know is the best course of action.
To the comment regarding JR in unit 153.....too bad he's let K9 fall apart under his command. Perhaps he just doesn't care about the manpower or quality of training for the K9 unit.

was in my homeroom, 78-1-A. agreed, class act, real leader of men, the kind of guy that takes care of his people, and who you don't mind going into battle for. agreed also, they won't promote him higher. he will not be a puppet for them. he will motivate his troops to accomplish their ultimate purpose, enforcing the law, and they will obey. but he will not, nor will he allow his people to be used solely for political B S. this man would sincerely be an outstanding superintendent.
This department is a sit-com waiting to happen.
SCC, Off topic, but I saw a clip on a local news broadcast this morning of an F1 singing, "Did You Ever know that you're my hero?" to Shortshanks at what looked like a Press Conference. Didn't catch the whole thing and don't know what context her serenade was meant as, but he became so uncomfortable he just started staring down at his papers refusing to even look at her. It was THE funniest/most awkward thing I've ever seen and couldn't have been played any better by stage actors performing a rehearsed comedy sketch. I can't find anything on the web about it, but I guarantee it's worth it's own post if anyone comes up with a link to it.
6:20am That Lt sounds like a meritorious Sgt in Area 1 who made a call and now is micromanaging the shit out of a great team, tearing them apart one by one with his stupidity, I along with many others feel so bad for those guys having to put up with that crap.
Hey SCC,
Really hate to do the 'Off Topic" thing but can you address, or can someone from our useless F.O.P. address, how on earth F.O.P. members took themselves and unknown amount of family members to Disneyland for some "conference?"
Fucking ridiculous! We're in the middle of one of the most protracted and acrimonious contract negaotiations in years and these fuckers go to Disneyland on our dime!
Who "investigates" these clowns and all their bullshit? Someone let me know. I'll make the phone call.
These motherfuckers are no better than all the ones that get talked about hiding in units answering phone calls and checking I.D.s. Most of these humps have never done shit on this job. Think about it. The average working copper wouldn't think about doing this F.O.P. shit. Fucking do-nothing P.O.s making Captains pay ordering fucking pizzas at police shootings.
I can't wait until the likes of Dougherty and his "pizza ordering" mutants come around asking for votes in the next election.

Pasadena police officer killed in shooting
By JASON WITMER and JAMES NIELSEN Houston Chronicle
A Pasadena police officer was killed this morning in a shootout in which the suspect also was seriously wounded.
Officer Jesse Hamilton, 29, was flown to Memorial Hermann Hospital-Texas Medical Center, where he died of a head wound.
Hamilton was responding to a disturbance call at a trailer park near the intersection of Shaver and Queens before 6:30 a.m., Assistant Police Chief Bud Corbett said.
The suspect, 24-year-old Sergio Robles, arrived at his mother's trailer home around 5 a.m. after his wife and child spent the night there following a domestic dispute elsewhere, Corbett said. The disturbance call more than an hour later indicated no guns were involved.
Corbett said Hamilton was talking to the mother on the porch when he learned Robles had a handgun, and he radioed that in around 6:25 a.m. Almost immediately after that, Robles shot the officer in the head with a semiautomatic handgun.
Another responding officer arrived moments later and fired at least one round at Robles, who also was struck in the head and is in serious condition at Memorial Hermann.
Police said Hamilton was a four-year veteran and a married father of an infant and twin daughters.
On another note the Westside lost another one of it's finest today. Det. Jim Hennigan turns 63 and is being pushed out. Good luck, Jim. Your a gentleman and a true scholar.

I've had tax returns come back faster than Bt 1120 Sgt A.Z and in typical fashion he was draggin his feet back to check off while everyone else who has more than a rotweiller to go home to waited. A balsy midnight Sgt decided enough was enough and released the troops to go home much to the dismay of Dub-linsky who came back to find everyone had gone home late. He tried confronting the GOOD Sgt who told him where to go and how to get there, Before cowering and shriveling into more pieces than Lance Briggs' lamborghini when it hit the Edens Expressway off ramp. That was some real "change" we can believe in. A great day in the district. Punk'd.

OT: Another crooked alderthief. I'm not sure of the alderthief's name at this time, but it has made the news that a aldermen owns a building. This buiding houses his ward office. He then pay $17k rent to himself for use of the space from his newly increased office budget. He was also getting ready to raise the ward office's rent. This fool then states that he sees nothing wrong with that deal. City ethic rules states that alderthieves cannot financially benefit from their budget funds. We would be fired if we pulled some shit like this. He never disclosed that he owned a building and that he was doing business with the city by leasing that space to himself using city funds. I bet many more of these thieving bastards are pulling shit like this. Then theyn all say the same shit when they get caught "WELL I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT." Don't these thieves take the same ethics test every City employee have to take each year.

With the U.S. Marshals and every major, even not so major police department in the nation being filmed on "COPS", why is it that da Mare refuses to let "COPS" roll with the CPD in say 007 or 011 on a sultry Saturday night?
Think about it...
8/21/2009 07:19:00 AM
What would you know about ??? All you ever ride the coat tails of others ?? Quit pretending like you were the real police ...
How about the order coming from the 011 Commander to do dispersals or you will get sparred??? 2nd watch gets a "little reminder" EVERY DAY in roll call...dispersals or SPAR...wow,,its 011,,they should be happy that there are people still working in that hellhole..Penny-this will NOT inspire the troops...ANOTHER reason to hate this job..sure let me add this to the 10-15 jobs per shift!!! let the exodus begin!
Penelope once wanted to be known as "HAWAIIAN".
You need to lighten up on the new Cmdr of 011. She might have been coming from a mtg in which her vest wasn't needed. I'm willing to bet a lot of bosses (tact Lts.
included) don't have their vests in their trunks. She arrived on the scene as quickly as possible, and sent the flunky to get the vest. Be glad she bothered to show
up! Was J-Fed there? What about the Old Man Cmdr of MSF? What were THEY doing? MSF has been patrolling 011, 015, 025 and 007 since the beginning of the year.
What difference have they made?
What accountability will their Cmdr face, Mr. "Intel Officer" in Iraq? If you're going to call Penny out on all the shit that exists in 011, considering the low level of troops that exist in all of the Districts, then let's hold these Unit Cmdrs up in the same light, and that includes LEO and Gorman too!

Commander that has a driver ? When did commanders start getting drivers ?
That is the Chicago Police Dept.!
These leaders of men and women don't have a clue!
You would think that a command rank officer would show up prepared to handle an scene???
I'm, embarrassed to say I'm a police officer in this city now a days!
I was in headquarters last week and met an "officer" wearing house slippers!
What ever happened to a uniform?
SILLY, SILLY, SILLY!!!
Not Penelope "Penny" Jones Trahanas.
After the rumor began about her requiring the troops to jump to attention when she entered the room, Penny assured me this was balderdash.
She agreed that when you have the honor and privelege of leading da REAL muthafuckin' PO-lice in FILLMO', you avoid nitpicking the troops about chickenshit "violations".
I stressed the importance of having leadership role models like the late George Sims and retired Captains John Patrick Collins and John Farrell.
I'm confident that Penny will be a credit to the Fillmo' tradition (I think). Hell, just for openers, emulate Eric Washington and James Jackson. You go, girl.
Always wear your kevlar vest and carry at least two guns, if not a third belly gun. You're in the big leagues now, kid.
Make us proud, Penny!
Penny loved doing stand up roll calls in 007. She would be missing her star, gun etc. and then bitch out the officers for minor infractions. She is a grade a kool-aide drinking/serving clown.
To post 1:10am clearly you have never worked for this chick!!! I have bad situation
Speaking of the West Side...must-read story in Chicago Magazine (I let my subscription end but they keep sending me issues saying 'last chance') about a lib (he reports on wrongful convictions for a radio station nobody listens to) who gets a beat down while riding his bike through 011. During a year of painful rehab he's starting to wonder: could it actually be possible that he got smashed because the predator didn't like his white face??? Then he thinks maybe he got chumped because the predator backed out of a deal to sit down for an interview (another inspired idea).
C'mon, Penny. Show us how to do it.
Roll on those 10-1's and "in-progress" runs. Catch the dude with the shotgun. We'll do the paper.

it's good to stand alone and be firm with your beliefs!
The problem is: your loyalty to the rank is obvious and if that's your choice so let it be.
But Not all ranks see the two way street, the take and don't give. If they give, it's the clout within and not the deserving.
So, my little friend, keep your loyalty alive, for whatever it's worth to you!! And when you get thrown under the Bus and they choose some one of STUPID over you, then we'll still be here for you...

To all the guys and gals in 011. I feel sorry that you have a first rate moron for a commannder. She's a real bitch. Watch your backs with her. You don't deserve that. She's not qualified to be on the job let alone a commander. And yes, I too heard she was known as the "lyin hawaiian"
as soon as i saw this bowling ball bail out of the car the first thing would have been to take her gun away from her--- if she wouldn''t cough it up i would have been right back in the car going a thousand miles in the other direction---- why, because i do not want to get shot with her gun when bad guy takes it from her and i also do not want to see bad guy cap her when he takes her gun away....

While I agree with the first part of your post, I have personally known 11 police officers over the last 18 years who have "nibbled" on their gun. You obviously don't know any. Even if a guy is a total asshole, and some of them were, they still left behind families who grieve them and will never be over the pain of loss. The person who commits suicide gets to die once, the survivors die a little each day, over and over. Keep that in mind next time you advocate something like that, "brother"!!!

We can discern several things from this post.
You are STUPID!
If you think JR from MSF is not a stellar CPD leader, you must be a dog ass do-nothing POS who doesn't have a clue.
You know nothing about the real police, so you probably are a house mouse from 35th St, and probably work for one of those CPD legends, (J-Fraud, Masters, Ray-Ray, Brust).
Why would any jagoff copper think they should step up and protect some triple merit promoted political hack who shouldn't even be in charge of a girl scout troop?
Maybe a wannabe merit promoted political hack???
To: 8/21/2009 11:35:00 AM, go fuck yourself. Or learn how to read. This is why you will always be a miserable officer and never rise above.

8/21/2009 06:04:00 AM
please, dont disrespect the N/G in such a manner. Leadershipwise the N/G is light years ahead of us.
Hey fuck-tard, the Cmdr of MSF was on scene. Your precious fruit loop waited until she was told to call it a job. She froze in the headlights like a puzzled deer. Then she realized she didn't have her vest, badge, or most importantly a clue.
On scene and witnessed.
Dear scc:
To 7:48 & 9:33:
Thanks for the thoughts, I hope he recovers fast and is able to return because the injuries sounded very serious. We are surrounded by savages.
8:39 PM
Lighten up, bro. It's called SARCASM.
"The 011 District Commander was driven directly into the 'hot zone' in front of the building and dropped off. Her driver left with her car and returned 15 minutes later with her bulletproof vest and star that she had left back at the station."
"Dropped off?" For what -- an aerobics class?
Thank God she had her Blackberry so she could Twitter frantically from underneath a car until someone noticed her predicament.
I can't even cry...

Hey SCC,
Really hate to do the 'Off Topic" thing but can you address, or can someone from our useless F.O.P. address, how on earth F.O.P. members took themselves and unknown amount of family members to Disneyland for some "conference?"
Fucking ridiculous! We're in the middle of one of the most protracted and acrimonious contract negaotiations in years and these fuckers go to Disneyland on our dime!
Who "investigates" these clowns and all their bullshit? Someone let me know. I'll make the phone call.
These motherfuckers are no better than all the ones that get talked about hiding in units answering phone calls and checking I.D.s. Most of these humps have never done shit on this job. Think about it. The average working copper wouldn't think about doing this F.O.P. shit. Fucking do-nothing P.O.s making Captains pay ordering fucking pizzas at police shootings.

Dude,
you are the problem with CPD today. You are a punk who does nothing but bitch, and spew nonsense about topics which you no nothing about.You sound like a bitter dog-ass!
Have you every been to an FOP meeting? Have you even voted in an election, or to ratify a contract?
Probably NO to both questions!
The reason they were in Long beach, California was to attend the National FOP Biennial conference. This is where all the business of our National FOP lodge is conducted. The delegates elect the national office holders, pick trustees,they conduct training seminars and strategize and plan policy initiatives to shape the future direction of OUR organization. And yes, a few days are set aside to socialize with our fraternal brothers and sisters.
Why don't you get involved? Rather than bitching like a little girl!
For your information, the delegates are assisted with some expenses, but many (non-delegate)FOP members attend with their families at their own expense because they are proud of their organization.
You act as if this was some kind of secret conspiracy where FOP funds were used for family vacations. This just shows what an uninformed GOOF you are. This Long Beach conference has been advertised and publisized for 2 years & all members are welcome to attend. BUT, you don't read your National FOP newsletter or take an interest in their website. Because it's easier to be a "Debbie downer" than to get involved!
Rant done! Did I address it to your satisfaction..Dick? Now you can follow your own advice and Fuck off! Now go back to viewing porn in your momma's basement loser!

While this seems to be typical of a "supervisor" in today's department, I must say that I am tired of reading demoralizing posts on this blog. I understand that this is the department/world we live in. Cops love to bitch too. Some feel good stories are thrown in once and a while when someone does a good job. How about a post on your own about some positives in the dept? A couple years ago there was a post about the best bosses. How about updating that one? Just saying that we have enough shit to deal with, a little positive would be good for the soul.
8/21/2009 01:10:00 AM
I AGREE! Here are some positives: 1. We make good money (though you can get your ass kicked or worse, get killed. 2. We have awesome benefits. 3. No matter what, this is still the greatest job in the world!!!

8/21/2009 09:53:00 PM
Yes "Brother" Mr. bleeding heart, in my nearly 20 years on this job I do know many cops who have killed themselves along with family and friends who have also killed themselves. It was sarcasm and a point that if someone compliments a good job that we cops do, accept the compliment instead of finding every negative excuse possible to hate everybody. Not everybody is out to get us.
Why did they dump the AWESOME commander of 011 for this dipstick? According to these posts it was due to the increase numbers of homicides.. sounds like bullshit to me.. How about dumping MSF back to the districts. Obviously they haven't reduce crime or made a difference in 007, 011, 015 or anywhere else. Stop stripping the police resources from the taxpaying citizens and sending them to places that only gentrification can change.
Anybody who thinks JR is a "stellar leader" of the MSF has a hole in their head. And who do you think HE works for? WHO put him there? You got it. J-Fed, Masters & Ray-Ray.

Hey northy, you gotta be kidding, right? JJ was dumped by Cliner, not by rank, only by status, from commander of an area to commander of a district. JJ learned to shut up and not do anything, but let the 11 district officers run itself, as always, without supervision. JJ is now on the come back because of Jfed and the mayoral reverends. JJ is pumping his chest and doing his come back by pushing his useless folks through, like Walter Greenbaum, Ernie Brownstone, Penny Trytogetonebyme. Always remember who started using the term "folks" - Terry H. Same man who promoted the names above. Thanks to Chicago tradition, cliner knew those "folks" were useless, but he played the game and kept their salaries high and sometimes higher. Personal payoff. Funny that Cliner never used that term "folks", go figure. Did you ever notice that Jfed has said "folks" on tv quite often? Go figure.

You must write in the F.O.P. Newsletter.
You and your buddies are in California "shaping F.O.P policy" for the future. If any of you clowns that are involved in the current negotiations are shaping future FOP policy then we are all doomed.
How do you have the balls to be invovled in any kind of discussion on how the FOP should conduct itself when you can't take care of anything in your own back yard.
You go to the meetings to accrue your time so that someday you can run for one of these do-nothing "policy shaping" positions.
You ain't foolin' NO ONE. You can't shape anything. Now go run out to the cabana cause Donahue is out of ice.

There was a time when you came on the job because you really wanted to be the Police. Alot of us even took a cut in pay comming from the private sector. We wanted to be the Police. There was no union and we still went out and did our job. Througout history on the department there has always been usless bosses but the troops worked around them. Part of the problem is that all you college educated p.o.'s just took this job because you couln't get a real job in the private sector. I guess the private sector can only hire so many with a soc sci degree. Yes alot of us that were college graduates still wanted the job because we thought we could make a difference and I'm sure some still do. What amazes me however tht you think by not working it's going to get rid of bosses you don't like. Think again. Bosses come and go but what you have done or not done will stay with you forever. If you decide you don't want to work that will follow you the rest of your career, you will become the dog that no one want's to work with. Most senior officer's will tell you there was a time that everyone responded to an in progress or a 10-1 even if you hated the car that was calling and when it was over you would go back to hating the officer's involved. However towards the end of my career you new officer's became so petty over your dislike of your fellow officer's that it is a shame. I was in city wide for the better part of 22yrs and there were times I would be a few blocks away in whatever district and would see district officer's drive in the opposite direction of the trouble. I would take the call in and wonder what the hell happened to this job. We used to be one for all in blue. The bosses were alway's the people with clout and it always will be. Get used to it. I just pray that you start doing your job with integrity. If you find one lost child or stop one spouse from being brutilized that should make your day. For your own sake do your job the way it should be done and the hell with the shit boss you may have. That shit boss may be gone tomorrow but you wont. The next boss might be great and they will think you are dead weight because you did jack shit for the last boss. You have to live in the city so for everything you do hopefully it makes a difference where you live. The scumbag's are'nt leaving and you can't. If you took this job for the money and the benifits only I feel sorry for you or maybe you watched too many Dirty Harry movies growing up. The real world suck's so you better get used to it. I think I've said enough on this subject and stay safe out there.

The all time worst and laughable boss was the F/1 Lt. at 004 who years ago chastized the desk officers for stealing paper. She saw an officer with a packet of paper by the fax and assumed he was stealing it. He explained that he was putting the paper in the fax. Then she loudly announced that "Everyone knows that the paper comes from downtown through the wire" She was promoted to Exempt?Immune.
You act as if this was some kind of secret conspiracy where FOP funds were used for family vacations. This just shows what an uninformed GOOF you are. This Long Beach conference has been advertised and publisized for 2 years & all members are welcome to attend. BUT, you don't read your National FOP newsletter or take an interest in their website. Because it's easier to be a "Debbie downer" than to get involved!
Rant done! Did I address it to your satisfaction..Dick? Now you can follow your own advice and Fuck off! Now go back to viewing porn in your momma's basement loser!

Hey office, I am with the previous poster. I am ranting too because I don't pay dues so FOP can go to disney world with their families either. They should not be authorized to use our money this way. So fuck off. If you are such a sympathizer then pay them personally so they can take their families t o disney during a conference. With my money, I am only paying for the conference if its a conference that benefits the cpd not just any old conference that has nothing to do with us and our interests. Get a life. Coppers need to question and demand service. We aren't getting any younger and we aren't going to get the assistance we need unless we stay on top of things. So go fuck your useless ass.
I have someone who fits this description perfectly. Commander JR unit 153 MSF. He has current leadership rank in the USMC and has served 5 or 6 tours in Iraq among other operations.

Get off this blog touting JR. He is the pet of MM and thinks he should have been promoted to ADS. He's a pompous arrogant ass and I'm sick of you posting this bullshit about him. If he is such a leader he wouldn't have you campaigning for him. I'm sure he's a great guy but give it a rest. He's told alot of people about his getting promoted to ADS and when it didn't happen I am sure he's bitter but this isn't the place to campaign. Go to the Super.

While I agree with the first part of your post, I have personally known 11 police officers over the last 18 years who have "nibbled" on their gun. You obviously don't know any. Even if a guy is a total asshole, and some of them were, they still left behind families who grieve them and will never be over the pain of loss. The person who commits suicide gets to die once, the survivors die a little each day, over and over. Keep that in mind next time you advocate something like that, "brother"!!!
8/21/2009 09:53:00 PM
Yes "Brother" Mr. bleeding heart, in my nearly 20 years on this job I do know many cops who have killed themselves along with family and friends who have also killed themselves. It was sarcasm and a point that if someone compliments a good job that we cops do, accept the compliment instead of finding every negative excuse possible to hate everybody. Not everybody is out to get us.
8/22/2009 01:28:00 AM
To both of you brothers but especially the second one, THE POINT IS DON'T ADVOCATE "NIBBLING ON A GUN" PERIOD WHETHER IN SARCASM OR NOT. We are policemen, that shit is NEVER funny. Get it?
LET ME SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT! I was the one who made the comment(8/21/2009 12:36:00 AM) about Commander JR being a great boss. I usually always sign my name to my post whenever I make a post on this blog. I don't believe in hiding behind the keyboard like most of the cowards who post on this blog. The reason I didn't post my name this time is because I didn't want to come off as a kiss ass and I didn't want Commander JR think I was asking for something, because I am not! I don't need help, I am waiting to be promoted to detective based off my score on the test. I think I made it clear I work for everything I achieve on this job. That even includes working in SOS. I spent 3 years in the DNP(distressed neighborhood program) before it was merged with SOS. I think I made it very obvious who posted the comment without leaving my name, but the stellar Detectives who post on this blog claimed it was John Curry. I don't think John Curry was stripped within the last 2 years. I was also referred to as being a Kid, I am working on my 15th year as a police officer with CPD, so I don't think I fit the kid discription either. Some said that I must have a hole in my head for working for JR, I don't think I do, I was assigned to SWAT when I was wrongfully stripped 2 years ago and when I was reinstated I was suprisingly returned to SWAT. I was merely stating the facts. You would think that when I was reinstated that the supervisors would bend over backwards to right the wrong this department did to me, but believe it or not I have already run into a few Seargeants and Lieutenants who could care less about what happened to me, they have their own agendas. I would only hope that they never have to go through what I did for 2 years because they would never make it! How do you think it feels being told I was gonna be fired and federally indicted for a incident I wasn't even at. Try finding a side job to help pay for the Catholic tuition without a badge and gun for 2 years and overtime was unheard of while stripped. I know my time in SWAT is coming to a end but I am ok with that, I have learned that everything in life happens for a reason! Like I said, I was only stating the facts and my dealing with Commander JR. I will say it again, he has earned my respect! The only thing I would ask is if you are gonna reply with a negative post please have the balls to sign your name to it!! signed Greg Insley unit 153 SWAT
For those of you who work with Lt J.A in 011. Yes he can be a little arrogant but he is knowledgable. He Is strict but fair. He plays no favorites. He has told his watch that god is first family second and then the job. If you u happen to make a mistake on his watch. You will want him in charge of the paper. And no he didn't write this.

6:20am That Lt sounds like a meritorious Sgt in Area 1 who made a call and now is micromanaging the shit out of a great team, tearing them apart one by one with his stupidity, I along with many others feel so bad for those guys having to put up with that crap.

SOUNDS LIKE LEEEEE B. TO ME!
Anybody who thinks JR is a "stellar leader" of the MSF has a hole in their head. And who do you think HE works for? WHO put him there? You got it. J-Fed, Masters & Ray-Ray.
Your "Stellar leader" was nothing more than an intel officer in Iraq.
Never left the green zone.
8/22/2009 02:24:00 AM
You don t know what the &*() you are talking about. All 3 times he was an Intel Officer w/ a Infantry Bn. No where near the green zone. And He has more time on missions than you so STFU
If this wasn't so sad I'd be laughing till my tears went dry. I still can't believe that they EVER promoted this moron.

Nancy Lipman, Give me a break, all she did in 021 is wait for her lawsuit to go thru. Not a bad person but in way over her head, send her to 011. Rick Elmer is a Prince.

To the person trash talking Comm. JR. You are so wrong. I'm not going to waste a lot of time on you or bother sharing my story. I will say this. I don't care who put him there the man cares about his people and will bend over backwards for you. He greets everyone and if you need something just ask and he will do his best to get it done for you. I know you dont get this everywhere. In addition he has never once cried or said anything negative about not being promoted. He started his next day at work business as usual. Kudos to GI. He is right on the mark. GI your almost there. Hang tough and screw those other supervisors. They have already done a lot of damage and have pushed away some of the good bosses (WW) for example. DET. cant come soon enough and it will.

Greg, your "woe is me" post has gotten old, and is well overdone.
Everyone by now knows what happened to you...and it's happened to other people too.
You're not "the only one" to have been fucked by the Dept., and while it is indeed shameful, others who have gone that route have gotten over it, so you should too. Maybe you should see a counselor about it, and it's nice to see you signed your name here, but please (and I speak for many others here), "GET OVER IT!"
COZZI comes to mind here....

"Not Worthy Of Being A Patrol Officer" Nancy Lipman is a fucking one-way piece of shit.
She once fucked over a wonderful boss so she would not have to take a very justified one day suspension. She did not have the common sense to leave shit alone and take her discipline like an individual with a backbone, but her then partner had the common sense not to put the boss in the middle. Lipman did not care as long as she saved herself. And to her partner VM, you are the one that should be the Captain, not N. Lipman.
Nancy, I will NEVER call you captain or boss or sir or anything other than piece of shit. There are some of us that will never forget how you middled that great man, and you will forever be a piece of shit.
Honestly, many despise you for how you fucked that man over and, because of you, how he was essentially forced to end a great career. He was a hero and you were not worthy to shine his shoes, yet, because of you, he got screwed.
Fuck you Nancy Lipman, you arrogant, conceited prick. What goes around comes around, and yours cannot come soon enough.

After the rumor began about her requiring the troops to jump to attention when she entered the room, Penny assured me this was balderdash.
___________________________________Northern, you really are pushing buttons.. Mind your own business already. First you trash to no end the Supt, now you HAD a conversation with Penny, the C-O of 011.
You were never liked and always were a loose goose. Now you think you are a legend. Many of us got you out of so much crap is was and got old.
