How's Our Policing?

(Long post - strap in and hold on...)

Dear J-Fed

We know you read this. Or have people who read this and tell you about it. No need to be ashamed about it. All the gold stars do it. All of your "policy group" does it. It's a fact.

It's also a fact that we don't like you much. You've failed on so many levels to connect or earn the respect of the men and women of the Chicago Police Department that it isn't even funny. The damage you've caused will take years, maybe decades to undo. Granted, the previous superintendents undermined the foundation before you even got here, but you pushed it over the edge like a petulant two-year-old pushes over a pile of blocks.

You've ignored much of our advice and the advice of others, some of whom held out genuine hope that you might be an instrument of change. We never held that hope - we know from where you were spawned.

But this is about the stupidest idea we've ever seen, and we've seen some stupid ones. This even tops Department Notice 09-35 "How's My Driving." Greg Bella sums it up in the most recent FOP Newsletter:
  • Here is the newest program to be advanced, the “Customer Satisfaction Survey Pilot” Program, which will be conducted by a third party. This program will be piloted in the following Districts: 2, 6, 10, 12, 19 and 23. Upon completion of a job the officer will give the person a card that reads:

    “You have just had contact with a Chicago Police Officer(s). We encourage you to report your satisfaction or dissatisfaction with how you were treated by calling, 1-888-648-3988 or by going to the following web address: http://survey.crj.uic.edu/Web

    Police services can be improved if residents report what they like and dislike about their experiences with the police. Thank you for taking a few minutes to provide honest feedback. This is an independent and confidential evaluation of police services conducted by university researchers. Your identity will not be known to the Chicago Police Department.”

    Letters are going to be sent out to residents explaining the program and how it works. Jody proposes that, “if you report a crime, have a traffic accident, or are stopped by the Chicago Police in this District, our officers are instructed to give you a business card that explains how to complete a short customer satisfaction survey. You have a choice of calling a 1-800 number or going to a website. Officers are very busy, so if they forget to give you the card, please ask for it.”

    The only good news with this program is that you will not have to provide a card in the case of murder, criminal sexual assaults, domestic violence or any incident involving serious injury or death.
Bella attempts to take a jab at the entire program, but of course, he has to maintain a certain level of decorum. He is the Vice President of the FOP after all.

We however have no such compunction:
  • Who the fuck are you listening to? The so-called "policy group?" After 20 months, have you no fucking idea what kind of job this is? What we deal with? You are listening to 3, 4, 5 year idiots who never served a day in a busy district, never fought in a dark alley, never ever ran toward the sound of gunfire.

    Of course, you've never done any of that either, so we really aren't surprised. You've been a pencil pusher and a house mouse your entire career. You've even done the dirty work behind the scenes trying to get Agent Robert Wright fired because he didn't toe the company line.

    You had no loyalty to the members of the organization that was tasked to protect the American people from terror on our home soil. You were a company man, through and through. You still are. You have no loyalty to the men and women of the Chicago Police Department. You have no concept of what it is to wear our uniform. You've proven that time and time again. We won't even disgrace the word "mercenary" attempting to describe what you do. Everyone knows what we call someone who accepts money for services rendered, and it isn't "politician," although it's close.

    Sixteen more months of your horseshit, then hopefully, someone deserving steps into the breach and begins repairing the damage. We aren't holding our breath, but we'll be damn glad to see the back of you and the assholes you seem to be taking advice from.

In an effort to save face and not look totally STUPID, the bubble headed Fed has decided to recycle the "HOW'S MY DRIVING?" bumper stickers into "HOW'S MY POLICING" cards.

"Dear Citizen, It has been a pleasure serving you. Hope you enjoyed having your ass locked up by the Chicago Police Dept. Yours truly, Officer Wienie"

your right about this policy crap. A guy that worked midnights is on this policy board. JB from 008 midnights is on this and hes only got 5 years on the job. Now, i was on midnights with him for about 3 years or so and he's got a few screws loose. First off, he came from 012 midnights(nothing happens in 012 on mid's in case you didnt know) then he worked in 008 on midnights(nothing happens in 008 on midnights... even though the midnight guys all think they are the best coppers in the world and have to drive 90mph to a noise disturbance or domestic...but I digress). Hes not even origionally from chicago and has no clue about the city. Now I only personally worked in the same car with him 1 or two times but he is not the kind of guy who should be writing any type of policy.. even though he thinks he should be. how the hell do you have this guy, or anyone for that fact with 5 years on the job doing this crap at 35th street. they belong in a beat car on the street. JB may have been a fairly hard worker.. but his ego was huge so I can see how he would fit in with jody and his co horts.. also, JB is a huge weight lifter and workout freak so its a match made in heaven. This department is doomed. you need former gang specialist, not gang intel or geu.. but real gang guys, gang specialists /153(the real 153)/flying squad(for those of you who can remember that!)/and good ole beat cops.. minimum 15 years on a beat car. Too many computer savy "kids" these days pretending to know what the hell police work is... a bag a day is not police work.. its numbers crap. you want policy, bring back 80/20s, crown caps, leather jackets and a mustache and go after the real criminals. forget this pisser and drinker crap... thats not police work. answering all your jobs, writing your paper, gettin your lunch, two personals and a part one arrest with 1 mover and 5 parkers is what use to be expected. now look at us. big college egos, bad sense of humor, takin the job way, way to serious, a half a blunt arrest, pants with pockets all over them, baseball hats with frosted tips and gel hanging out the side, and these new and awful looking vests that say police on the back with a name tag and star number sewed into it. what a shame.... I love this job but cant wait to retire. The job and the lifestyle has gone into the crapper with the "new" point of view. Im sorry about the lenght, but this is personally pointed towards jody and co. you want policy, ask the police. even if we are old and just work the beat now and seem like "dogs" we were full of piss and vinegar one day and were the working police and did it the way it was supposed to be done.

They are just wasting there time, just to give some house mouse a job behind a desk.
This clown jfed came on saying he was going to get more coppers out from behind the desks and on the streets. All he seems to keep doing is trying create more desk jobs. Just like the feds do....sit behind a desk, talk on the phone and play with the computer all day long. It sounds like every goof at 35th is giving him ideas so they can secure a spot there.

Not only is the good ship CPD sinking fast but it is sinking in a very deep part of the ocean, so to speak.

This is going to get good, better than The Comedy Channel. As if the public isn't laughing enough at the police here already. A customer satisfaction survey, oh that's good. That should bring about some real good belly laughs. I can hear the guffaws already.

And this lunacy is approved by who? Peterson? Dugan? Holy leaping batshit. This is the stuff bad jokes are made of. Does anyone down there really think that the pissed off motorist who I just gave 4 tickets to is going to get a "customer satisfaction survey" card from me?

From PO 5-1313, Dial-A-Beating to Customer Satisfaction cards in one lifetime. Very hard to believe it all disintegrated so fast.

This policy group is causing so much damage to the morale with their pompus brilliant ideas. Who are these fools? And can someone please tell them to get over themselves and stop writing. Someday they will have to come back down to our level when J-fed is gone and act like they were on our side all along. NOT!!!

I don't live in Chicago (suburbanite) and I have no connection to law enforcement there, but I love this blog and have learned much reading it and others the past few months.

My response to this idea is, you gotta be kidding? This is so demeaning. It reduces the cop to a server, and the public to a consumer. Is this a drive-through city now? Hello, may I take your order? Have a nice day!!!

I had a fender bender on the North Side a few months ago. The cops were prompt and relatively helpful (hey, this aint Disneyland) and only gently suggested a friend's body shop for the repairwork. If I had a complaint I'd have let someone know. Otherwise, here's a novel idea, assume the public is satisfied with the level of service.

You guys have my sympathies and my thanks.

This card won't go over well with anyone in the dept who is on the street. By the way, for traffic stop I have an answer on how my perceived actions will be viewed " I was a Huge Mother Fucker who wrote a ticket, and I am probably a racist" according to the motorist who was cited.

I became the police when I was very young. I had delusions of grandeur. My father loved this department, he served for as many decades as many of us have been on the planet.

Jodi Weis effectively then proceeded to ruin the best job on earth.

"How's my driving?" Last time I checked, I am neither a taxi driver nor a truck driver. My driving is fine. Just ask my partner. He's still alive.

"How did you like my service, here's a comment card." I am not the Jimmy Dogs hot dog guy, nor am I the waitress at the Sizzler. I am a police officer. So, YOU called ME here, and I get to not only solve your life problems, but you get to comment on my demeanor? You might not like it, but guess what? Because of you and your "rights" et al., the people I come home to at night don't really like me either. But they don't get to fill out a comment card.

Hopefully this will also be rescinded, as I hold my breath. At least in several of the "pilot" districts, some of those people have jobs.

Let me just name some more idiotic plans this character has laid for this department.

*Let's have the exempts ride around in a busy district 4 hours a week.

*Cameras. In the cars.

*The Tahoe (I could go on for pages, but I won't).

*Swiping.

*Showing up unannounced at ORC, blowing smoke up our collective ass, and then acknowledging that we're in "RAP'S" so we'll wrap this up.

*0.04. No matter what. No exceptions.

*Bill Cozzi.

To name a few. In closing, I would just like to add that Jodi Weis claimed that if he were responsible for the decrease in morale, i.e. current disposition of all members of the CPD in some way, shape or form, he would resign.

Jodi, you are a liar.

This is all your fault.

Even though a few of these "ideas" were not set into motion, in effect just their mention makes all of us on the front lines shudder. We are now conditioned to believe that every order that seems unbelievable will be rescinded anyways. You are like that bad parent who says, "Don't make me count to three...."

We are sick of you, we are over you we don't like you, we have no respect for you.

By we, I mean the working police. I don't know about everyone who is willing to do anything to keep their "spot" as to not go back to the west/southside and have to deal w/the animals...

I wouldn't ask you to put on the uniform (because it's a disrespect and you haven't earned it), but masquerade as a tact/gang person in a busy district for a week. See how we are treated, see what we deal with. Every day, people lie to us, try to manipulate us, yell "FUCK YOU," at us (happened to me tonight) try to outsmart us, and bottom line, know that they can disrespect us, and nothing can/will be done.

You have de-policed us, you have allowed us to become a target. And if you don't believe a lowly blue shirt, ride w/a team for a week, the teams get it bad too.

NOONE RESPECTS US. Because of you.

NOONE LISTENS TO US. Because of you.

You did this. You can't undo it. Just. Go. Away.

J-fed will realize that what we do on a day to day basis makes people dislike us or hate us and that that is an inherent part of urban policing. Mayberry this is not.

Best RIP I've ever read on the blog! So... not only can I fill out the survey regarding my "dissatisfaction" with my police service,but I can also file a quick CR # on the Officers too? Can this all be done using the same phone# or do I have to request a Supervisor to file my (soon to be) unfounded complaint? EAT MY ASS JFED!

Also, while we're on the topic of JFED's "Policy Think Tank Group". Got a story from a ways back working CHA at an undisclosed location. I was unfortunate enough to be forced to do a walk-down of a CHA Building with JFED, His Think Tank Group, and a few other Bosses I didn't recognize, but they all had various types of Gold Clusters on their collars. Anyway, it was the most uncomfortable 20ish minutes of my career, and Thank Jeebus that the dope boys weren't out, nor any hypes. What stood out from our awkward interaction was walking down the piss and shit-stained stairwells (mid-summer) with the entire group, and the (pretty freaking hot blonde) stating out loud "Does it always smell this bad in here?" As SCC has said many times... Un-Fucking-Believable! This "Little Tart" is part of the "Policy Group" and (UNFORTUNATELY) responsible for helping Dumbass make decisions. Anyway, plenty more stupid ass things were said, but that was the highlight to me. Some smoking hot young blonde girl wearing gym shoes, tight blue jeans, a pink and white shirt under her gear asking me if it always stinks in a CHA Stairwell!? To answer your question... No Honey, it usually smells like Febreeze and Fresh Cut Flowers there.... Naturally.

Police are not loved by the public. We make the public do what they know is right but of which they can not make themselves do.

The public pushes the gas peddle and the Police are the brake.

A story that almost went unnoticed is how a group of Reverends want to be sure that Toddler is the only Black candidate running for Cook County Board President. They do not want the Black vote split, and this can't be called "racist".

So if we vote for John Garrido for that office because he is a police officer can we be called "polistist".

This is what happened to the last mayoral election, Daley v. Dorothy Brown v. (Who the Heck is) Bill Doc Walls. It was the Daley Divide and Conquer strategy, you cannot make me believe that Walls was not put up by Daley's people under the table.

So Shortshanks probably sees this coming, and I really want Jimmy Mauer for Mayor. What I really want is anyone but Shorty.

It's a business mindset here in the U.S. and the results are beginning to show.
Hire a 20 something MBA fresh out of school and with verry little actual business experience.
Place him in the company over people w/ 25+ yrs experience working various positions in that business/company.
Act only on the MBA's advice.
Typical results :
- alianated workforce
- costly mistakes
- accounting takes over engineering and production
- company strays from mission and purpose
- product quality suffers
- cusomers find a new source of product
Any of this sound familiar ?

Hey, I received something just like that yesterday. I went to Burger King (no, not that one, the real one) and bought a Whopper. The back of the receipt told me to call an 800-number and tell them how my purchase was. When I finished the call they gave me a code for a free french fry next time I stop by. Does that mean that from now on when you hand a "customer" a traffic ticket you have to ask them "Do you want fries with that?"

The idea for this began several years ago under Cline. It was NOT j-fed's idea. It has been done for awhile with any jobs handled by call-back. Similar programs exist in other depts and this will be done in a variety of different sized police depts nationally.

Jesus Christ, what is the purpose of this survey, did anyone go to the site and see the questions being asked????

What was the race of the police officer you interacted with the most?

What was the gender of the officer you interacted with the most?

What was the age of the officer you interated with the most?

Did the officer listen to what you had to say?

Do you feel the officer was fair and evenhanded?

Was the officer polite?

Do you feel the officer discriminated against you because of your race, gender, age, religion or sexual orientation?

Did the officer seem concerned about your feelings?

Was the officer patient and not rushed?

Did the officer say or do anything that you considered insulting, disrespectful or rude?

Did the officer take the matter seriously?

Did the officer appear to know what he or she was doing?

Did the officer answer your questions well?

Did the officer explain what would happen next?

Did the officer treat you more like a child or more like an adult?

Did the officer provide you with useful tips to avoid this situation in the future?

Did the officer blame you for what happened?

blah, blah, blah,

then onto

Are Chicago police officers doing a good job working with residents to solve local problems?

Are Chicago police officers effective at fighting crime?

Are Chicago police officers held accountable when they do something wrong?

Would you be willing to help the Chicago police find someone who committed a crime in your neighborhood?

Do you trust the Chicago Police Department to make decisions that are good for everyone in the city?

Do you feel the Chicago Police Department today listens to people like yourself and then tries to improve its services?


Now, if this isn't just some kind of survey, civil rights violation lawsuits pending, and perhaps instead of Chicago Police Department/Officer it would be a much better survey to insert Mayor or Alderman.

What an excellent customer service department we've become.

So, let me get this straight, when some ass wipe goes through an intersection at 70 mph and an officer writes him, he gets to tell the city how happy and satisfied he was with the police. Have you ever met someone who was happy about a ticket. (That is why everyone likes firemen, the never write tickets) How much is this bullshit costing the taxpayer. This is a no win situation.

This Department is becoming horseshit. Go on the Supt's blog and all he does is say how there is no money for promotional exams, but they have money for this? We can't get a contract, but they will pay a 3rd party to conduct this horseshit survey? This is an outrage. We already have a system in place. It's called the Complaint Log system. If someone has a beef with how a job was handled, they call IPRA and a CL gets initiated.

Basically, this is how typical entry on the survey will go:
"The police came to my house after I called because I wanted my baby daddy to leave. they made him leave and I never got a report."

What really happened:
Police came to my house because I caught my baby daddy messin with some bitch down the street. He givin her money and he should be givin it to me./ What do you want us to do ma'am?/ I want you to do something because he cheatin'!/ I'm sorry ma'am that's not a police matter, but why don't we have him leave for now./

You have surrounded yourself with clowns that you call command staff. I suspect that Daley had a lot of input in your/his selection of Exempt staff. You know what we think about Daley !!!! You have demoralized a once proud Department. Don't even mention a few scandals that have occured. The alderthieves have done a great job of keeping a few representatives in prison over the years.

You are quite aware that you're an over paid fucking CLOWN.

And she burst out laughing at the thought of me handing out “Customer Satisfaction Survey” cards. You gotta' love the command staff that gave us this latest nonsense. Unbelievable. Where do they get this stuff? Is this what daley spent all that money for, for an FBI agent/superintendent who first sends one of our own to prison and now wants us to hand out “Customer Satisfaction Survey” cards?

Superintendent Weiss, if you, or any,of your people, really do read this post, please listen.
When I see you "playing dressup" in your CPD uniform, I find it very offensive. What really makes me crazy, is when, I see you in the CPD Leather Jacket. Especially since the Leather Jacket, is no longer a required piece of equipment. It proves to me, you don't have a clue as to how offensive,and obvious narcisstic you are.
I suspect you plan to wear that leather jacket after you leave the dept. as your personnel badge of honor, that really is not right.

OK Jody, let's see you hand out 8, 9, 10 or 11 thousand or whatever number of blueshirts you can actually field, SATISFACTION CARDS on your performance.

OR have FOP hand them out for you, same rules apply, one per customer, control numbers to prevent duplication.

Now if you get a less than 50% satisfaction rating from us will you immediately resign? Can FOP hold a Vote of NO CONFIDENCE?

Stay safe, it's going to take a lot of work and a lot of time to heal the damage this man has done. (Jimmy Mauer for Mayor is a good start.)

I had a "citizen" with an out-of-control child just the other day. The little 15 yo didn't want to take her meds or do her home work...I asked the only proper question...what do you want the police to do?...mom's response..."something"
I informed babymama (in a calm polite way) that police officers determine if a crime occurred and make an arrest if the facts dictate, not babysit; I then waved goodby.
Gee, what do you think this woman will write on her card?

REPORT CARDS! here's a great new idea J-Fraud! Let's have monthly report cards for the street officers. They will have to take them home and have them signed by their wives/husbands/boyfriends/girlfriends/ whatever, and returned to you.

Then we have a PTA like meeting and each officer who isn't measuring up to your "G-man" standards will have to bring their mom/dad/girlfriend/boyfriend/whatever to meet with you and your wonderful staff of pinheads to see just what's the problem.

It works in grammer school, why not the CPD?

SCC:
I just spoke to the FOP. I asked if we could individually conduct a NO CONFIDECE vote on the current Superintendent. They replied they already did that. I told them it was not taken very seriously and the Superintendent's response was that it was only 160 people. They responded it was taken seriously because the newspapers printed it. Although they did agree it may have more of an impact if 7,000Officers participated. I am not bitching about the FOP. They were very nice but not receptive. Mark Donahue is in Springfield, of course! You have become our voice and I was wondering if you would be interested in surveying your readers. If there is a positive response, I will identify myself and attempt to spearhead this campaign. We have to do something. Although I think this should be done by the FOP organization, we may have to do it alone. It cannot be accomplished without your help. Any interest?

You know, I never liked the police. They always were so coarse and vulgar. Being around them, even on a social level, I understood why, considering what and who they deal with. Yet the fact that they carry the police persona into their personal lives defies me. An educated person tailors their responses to the community they deal with. An FBI agent actually wrote that and I have found it to be true in my life experience. Nonetheless, despite my dislike for their demeanor and seemingly "elitist" attitude, they are the authority structure and need to be respected for their position because regardless of everything, they are to protect and serve the community from crime. These cards are a joke and an obvious injury to their position and capacity as law enforcement officers. I mean, really, look at Chicago and its residents, no one likes the police and this only undermines you guys more which affects law abiding citizens sense of security that you will carry out your duties as you see fit which is a necessary part of you being successful police officers. Jody really is Brutus's knife into the very body that he is supposed to be leading. Definitely, not by example. I mean, is there anyone in there, Jody, because you come across as empty and robot-like and completely heartless in every way. You do no good to the residents of Chicago by doing this because you are widening the open door Daley has created of reversing the rightful authority of power in the police to savage citizens limited most by their self-entitled need that "I don't want anybody to tell me what to do", who are limited to a vocabulary of 20 words or less(maybe too much credit) and their only education comes from the street. You threaten our very safety and well-being by making a police officer to become a customer service representative. Just absolutely ridiculous. I don't like the police but I respect them and actually pity them under your leadership and especially Daley's. It makes me wonder, is this Daley's retaliation over his gargantuan Olympic loss?

More often than not, someone happy with the service they received will not usually take the time to positively comment on it. Only the chronic complainers comment and they are usually never happy with anything. Also, if these comment cards are handed out at traffic stops and such, they will never provide positive feedback. How often does someone pulled over for a traffic violation acknowledge they were wrong? How often will someone arrested for breaking the law comment positively about the service? Again this is another program not thoroughly considered in the realm of policing. It amazes me that people(the brass who come up with these ideas) so well paid are so stupid. I really don't know how you all can do your job considering what you put up with from the citizens as well as some the bosses. As a citizen I am forever grateful for the work you do and understand the difficulty you deal with. I commend you and thank you. Be safe.

My customer is the little old lady who didn't get hit over the head and robbed by the "customers" of the dope house I just raided. Ask her how nice it is that she didn't get brutalized by all of the crack heads. Ask the real honor student that didn't get shot by the gun that I just took off of the four time felon who was protecting his enterprise. Since homicides are down by you numbers Mr. Weiss I guess that you dint have to ask them, just look at the numbers. I just ask you to use a little common sense and figure out who the customers of the policing service really are.

First of all, this idea like all the other bad ideas will be swept under the rug. The answer is simple. Do nothing but answer your calls. I know of two officers that answered a 10-1 call and crossed the board of their district into the next. They got there and helped. Some of the bosses found out and screamed at them telling them to stay in their own district. The "bosses" called the officers own district and those bosses called both officers in and reamed them as well once again. FUCK THIS JOB!

Also, while we're on the topic of JFED's "Policy Think Tank Group". Got a story from a ways back working CHA at an undisclosed location. I was unfortunate enough to be forced to do a walk-down of a CHA Building with JFED, His Think Tank Group, and a few other Bosses I didn't recognize, but they all had various types of Gold Clusters on their collars. Anyway, it was the most uncomfortable 20ish minutes of my career, and Thank Jeebus that the dope boys weren't out, nor any hypes. What stood out from our awkward interaction was walking down the piss and shit-stained stairwells (mid-summer) with the entire group, and the (pretty freaking hot blonde) stating out loud "Does it always smell this bad in here?" As SCC has said many times... Un-Fucking-Believable! This "Little Tart" is part of the "Policy Group" and (UNFORTUNATELY) responsible for helping Dumbass make decisions. Anyway, plenty more stupid ass things were said, but that was the highlight to me. Some smoking hot young blonde girl wearing gym shoes, tight blue jeans, a pink and white shirt under her gear asking me if it always stinks in a CHA Stairwell!? To answer your question... No Honey, it usually smells like Febreeze and Fresh Cut Flowers there.... Naturally.

She spent all of her 5 years on the job in the lock-up in 025, the TRU unit and a brief stint on a tact team in 020.

Mr Superintendent: I work in the 16th dist and have been on the job for almost 28yrs, I have worked in the 18th dist in the early 80's and then gangs north and SOS and then came north to help protect my neighbor hood. When I respond to jobs I sometimes have to raise my voice and yell back at the caller or someone else on the scene. Yes they might be people with clot heavy jobs, or off duty police officers or fireman or just your average gang banger/dug dealer, but I have to take control, and just because they can't have it their way every time does not mean that I am wrong. I think this " how was I treated" program is not the right thing to do. You are going to make it where we won't have any action with the public unless we am called to the scene. If you really want to know how to boost the morale of this department, put a panel together of 3-working police officers from each district/unit and have them meet once a month with you to discuss the problems of every day police work.

Off Topic, But Important if You Live in Bridgeport:

According to the noon news this neighborhood is being covered by birdshit, as well as city bullshit...

Many thousands of starlings are cueing up for a casting call for a remake of Alfred Hitchcock's, THE BIRDS. The shit is hitting the fan, the streets, the cars and some residents are seeking small business loans for guano farming.

If you live there it's a chirping, smelly and disgusting mess. The neighbors are setting off fireworks, honking horns and calling 3-1-1 to no avail.

The ideal solution might be to get the city to bring in a couple of peregrine falcons to feast on the invaders. Homeowners could try the standard plastic owl statue; the trick to make that work is to move it everyday. There is also a battery operated owl statue moves its head and hoots and costs $25-30.

Or you might try this. Years ago we had a huge truck garage in our district that kept getting false burglar alarms because there were pigeons flying around inside. The alarms stopped, and later when I went in there I saw these very large, white inflated balls hanging from the rafters. On one side the was two large black disks painted almost touching each other. On the other side there was three or four thick wavy lines painted. When I asked what they were for I was told they were put there by an exterminator. The black spots had the appearance of the eyes of a predator bird to the pigeons and they cleared out.

It shouldn't be too hard to get some inflatable balls, paint them up and hang them from the the trees like Christmas ornament. If it works, great. If it works and you get interviewed on TV news, mention that you read it on SECONDCITYCOP.

Stay safe, and stay out of the yeeech.

ObamaCare and gun control

It is nearly certain that coverage prescribed by the administration will, to control costs, exclude coverage for what it regards as excessively dangerous activities. And, given Sebelius’ well-established antipathy to the Second Amendment — she vetoed concealed carry legislation as governor of Kansas — we presume she will define these dangerous activities to include hunting and self-defense using a firearm. It is even possible that the Obama-prescribed policy could preclude reimbursement of any kind in a household which keeps a loaded firearm for self-defense.

Dear SCC,

First, let me congratulate you for all the accolades you've earned, (Best Police Blog 2008, chicagotribune.com's Chicago's Best Blogs, and of course your recent Nobel Prize for Blogiture!). Though I know in the past, you have downplayed the amount of time you actually invest in producing SCC, it is, nonetheless, that time that you put into the blog that makes it so successful, (over 7 1/2 million visits to date!).

That being said, I have a couple of observations:

SCC seems to be at its strongest, most popular and most influential, (and most feared by Daley), when presenting political expose's. Rest assured that any blog that can command the readership you have, it is being, at least tacitly, monitored by Daley and the 50 Thieves.

So, how does the stuttering prick keep you from influencing your readership against the idiot politicians? How about getting his overpaid hired gun, Bozo The Clown, CPD Supt to cause chaos amongst the troops? Planting stories out there to divert attention worked even when the midget's daddy was doing it back in the '60s. Burke has been doing it for 40 yrs as an Alderthief. And when Shortshanks, himself, isn't orchestrating a diversion, (like the failed Olympic bid), you can bet his lieutenants in the Daley/Burke Crime Family are.

I know you are primarily a police blog and that you cannot lose sight of what has made you successful. You have balanced that well with the political stories that never cease to amaze in this town. I know that your readership has recognized patterns where Daley just HAPPENS to be out of town when a scandal breaks in his administration. I also believe that when stoies like this "Customer Satisfaction Survey Pilot Program" come out, its probably a good time to look behind the curtain and see what little Richie is REALLY up to!

Our city and Police Dept. have become a laughingstock around the country, even around the globe. Our only saving grace is that we can VOTE to end this insanity! Please try to keep some focus on getting rid of our corrupt government, even as these "How's My Driving", "How's My Police Service" diversionary stories pop up from time to time.

We all must keep our eyes on the prize! VOTE OUT ALL INCUMBENTS!

Wow now thats DEEP!

Could you imagine being the DESPISED (Jodi).

Man even if you were to pack it in you were a disgrace in your endeavors and ultimately YOU as Jodi still have to live with yourself and the fact that so many disrespect you......

It's like Michael Scott (the BOSS) of "The OFFICE" tv series...Same feelings here.)

I give Jodi a kudos (hear me out)for at least having the NERVE to keep standing in here and not bailing..(Totally stupid or just a stone cold jagbag...you decide)

Reasons:

A. Getting the no respect from thousands he is in charge of and his from old peers from the FBI too...I know some of them..

B. Dealing with Daley day in and day out and that BULLSHIT....fuck that would break most men alone!

C. Thinking he is making a difference for the City the Department, the Officers Integrity, the Reverends , the Neighborhoods he never knew or for whomoever he thinks he is fooling with his Obama like speeches

D.Not imploding and having a nervous breakdown over ALL this shit

The guy is NOT HUMAN...I guess that showed when he SANDBAGGED Officer COZZI!

3 bars

SCC...congrats. You've finally taken a verbal stand and you've stated for the record what thousands of us have stated here in the comments section (more or less), or have thought every single day we've gone to work at what is now a shell of what a real Police Dept. used to be. The Mayor, Weis, and Masters should be ashamed of how they've destroyed what was once a place you loved to come to work at! No more...what they've done to some of the better exempts whose careers they threw in the toilet, even worse, the hideous examples of 'leadership' they've thrown in our faces over the past year and half is, in a word, indefensible. DISGUSTING is probably an even better word. Will Weis ride out his 'perfect storm' to the tune of another $310 grand next year, or has he decided it's best to 'cut & run?' Time will tell.
We only hope that Weis takes his FBI budget draining/do nothing pals with him, along with Jackson, Peterson, Dugan, Cuello, Masters & Hamilton. If they all leave together, things just might become salvageable...in about 5 years.
