March or No March?
It's been popping up all over the place. We've gotten a few dozen e-mails and about twice that in text messages. The comments are getting repetitive. Even Shaved has a full post on it.
It appears to be a wildcat march. No one is admitting being behind it or organizing it. There doesn't appear to be any transport to or from downtown.
Is FOP going to get out in front of it? Or are they resigned to the fact that arbitration is underway and claim a march serves no purpose? We like a full accounting as to where all the money Shortshanks is hiding from selling everything not nailed down. And a larger accounting of what money was spent to acquire the Michael Reese land.
There's still a lot of questions that demand answers.

Would be nice to know if we are going to show daley how really small his power is!!
I will be marching in honor of Bill Cozzi with a sign bearing FREE COZZI NOW!
F.O.P. or not, should it matter? I'm taking T/D and will be there w all my unemployed friends n family!! and hopefully as many as possible co-workers!! be there of be F*&(^%$ed!!!!!
What has the FOP been out in front of? All I see and hear is silence and more silence.
Where have they been?
Coppers being murdered, unjustly incarcerated, unjustly fired, unjustly suspended, working for over two years with no contract, getting slammed daily in the media and NOTHING!
Time for change and for our collective voice to be seen and heard.
The FOP are only concerned about their golden goose payoff retirment gigs.
The time is now! We must strike when the odds are in our favor and strike hard.
The citizens are aware that there are not enough police and that crime is surging. They know they need us and that we are underpaid.
Boys and girls, we have to do this! Get the word out. I for sure will be there and might pull the kids out of school for this one, too.
I'd go. I don't think it should be about the Olympics or anything like that, just to remind the citizens that that building is full of corruption. Remind everyone of all the scandals over the last 10-15 years. It's so crazy and more and more people are realizing it. Keep reminding them, and tell the old school streets & san guys to get real!
If there's a poll, count me in.
I'm all for it. Our own little tea party.
This shouldn't even be about our contract, that's kind of a moot point. We're in arbitration. But it would never hurt to pique the arbitrator's curiosity about all of that $$$ that came in from the skyway, the meters, etc. Is all of that money spent already? Is the Daley / Vanenko spending spree over? Where is there any oversight in City Hall?
SCC, we need your help again, ask for Opinions and tally up the results. I'm in, it's only for a couple of hours, and it's fun to see everyone you haven't seen in a while. Kind of like an open post in real life. Bring your signs!
Don't march now. If he tries to screw us at Arbit, march then. Pick ur battles carefully. Him and the media are looking to attack some one else. Don't let it be us. Wait. Be patient.
Ah lets march , lets give the mayor something to realy cry about.
I marched at city hall and I'll be happy to march against the mayor and his minions once again.
But, if those SEIU clowns show up with a bullhorn again, they gotta leave! They're strongly tied to ACORN and Obama, and you know who Obama has on his speed-dial.... Shortshanks.

MARCH, MARCH, MARCH I say. Even for no other reason than to let him know I'm mad as hell he mismanaged City liquidity soooooo badly. No contract, walks away from bargaining table for nothing but drama, J-Fed and his #930,000 contract, raiding pension funds to make his family members rich. Even if I'm the only human being walking around the block, I'll be there.
Who's with me?

The FLOP doesn't want to piss off Shortshanks because they got spots waiting for good service. There should be pickets in front of city hall until the police get a good contract.
'wildcat' actions are the best kind.
They spring from the heart/gut and represent the most sincere expression of discontent.
The only question to ask is: how discontented are you?
Here is some interresting reading about the TIF's in Chicago. It looks like Chicago has a reserve of $1.3 Billion: http://www.progressillinois.com/2009/8/13/chicao-siphoned-tif-money
and here is the spreadsheet on where and how much was collected:
http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=tuuNpPj2gToKER2fiIN_UFA&single=true&gid=0&output=html
Makes you wonder how much more money shortshanks is sitting on...
K.G. (023) said the march is going to happen!
i got the text message, if it's on we all need to be in place, not an add-hoc march. if i'm going it needs to be organized.
I have seen nothing but anonymous posts on this, one after another, all with the same writing style and sentence structure and some exact repeats under different topics.
While I am not against the idea of marching against city hall, I am not going to interrupt my life and head downtown on the suggestion of an ANONYMOUS crusader who has heaven knows what PERSONAL AGENDA or score to settle.
Whoever is behind the onslaught of posted comments to march today, may I suggest that you step out of the shadows, identify and explain yourself and stop trying to "call out" the figures YOU think should respond and show up at YOUR march.
I can't imagine I'm alone in this opinion.
One anonymous poster leaving comment after comment, does not a march make!
Show up with your signs and see how many people join you!!!
If you're so inclined, keep your signs in a large trash bag until you're certain you're not the only one.
Hell, from the sounds of the posts seems a good turnout should be there!!!
PS<
Bring CHALKIE!!!
TIF funds were used to purchase Michael Reese Hospital.
This entire city is in a TIF!
That means those funds that would have normally gone to the general fund are now stuck in a TIF fund for 20 years!
The residents that live in TIF areas get the same city services taht the rest of us do. However, the city services are supposed to be paid for with those TIF funds.
They are not. Those city services come out of the same general fund as ALL city services do.
Hence = budget shortfall and slush fund for Daley!
FOP BETTER SPEAK UP AND DO SOMETHING!! FALLON WOULD HAVE DONE SO BY NOW!! EITHER FOP ORGANIZE SOMETHING OR FOLD ITS TENT. IF WE MARCH AND THERE IS A POOR SHOWING DUE TO RAIN OR APATHY THE N WE LOOK WEAK! YES NOW IS THE TIME TO STRIKE A MESSAGE!! WE ARE GOING TO GET BLADED FOR NOT HAVING THE OLYMPICS LETS GET OUT IN FRONT!!-SEMPER FI
ray ray hamilton will drive his take home car from N. Kostner to take pics of all the rogue cops!!!
Chief wannabe navy seal "my son's in the navy" Keating will sux up to Daley and arrest off duty coppers!!
KEATING WILL USE THIS AS A CHANCE TO GET AHEAD WITH DICKY DALEY!!!
Daley will be at the Columbus Day Parade how about signs along the route Uppa Ur Ass Mr.Da Mayor
March or not our own(bosses) will do us in-Thats why no sgt or above should be allowed to maintain any membership in FOP. Management is not union or rank and file.
i'm up for it.i'll be sure to wear my chalkie shirt.can you say nolympics:)hi richie,hi j-fed.
You want an accounting of City funds from shortshanks? Are you serious? Good luck, more chance that the IOC will announce a mistake was made and Chicago is declared the winer of the 2016 Olympics by default.
More chance j-fed will beseech the Justice Department to release Cozzi because of a miscarriage of justice. More chance all merit bosses will turn in heir stars and claim they don't really deserve those promotions. More chance that the Cubs will finish the 2010 season 120-42 and win the World Series.
More chance my 1st wife will send a letter of apology. In short, there is no chance at all that anything good or honest or decent or right will ever spring from the mouth of mayor mumbles, the stuttering prick, shortshanks the miserable bastard.
mayor silly was publicly embarrassed and humiliated. Look for him to go on a salt the earth campaign with rank and file police officers, city workers and regular citizens bearing the brunt of his wrath. And the newspapers, don't forget the newspapers. It was the newspapers' fault Chicago didn't get the Olympics.
Michael Reese---don't worry. They don't know what they are going to do with it yet, but you better believe all the construction contracts have already been awarded.
---not a cop
Bring cooter
this doesn't seem very organized to me
I dont think a march willdoa damn thing. However, writing paper for every little incident then going door to door to get more info will cause a bigger back log.
Make a ton of traffi stops. But dont write a ticket, just fill out the BS blue card. And of course block traffic to cause grid lock during the T-stop.
Then...NO NUMBERS! take your time but be efficient when responding and handling jobs. Make the city come to a complete stop with nothing but backlogs and chaos!
Remember to only think of the end result.

I will be there. If FLOP is taking a pass, we need a leader. Can Mauer, Farrell, Northside or Snethen fire us up.
Save your energy to start a campaign "Anyone But Daley" and get him voted out of office in the next election. Get all the city workers who used to be his bread and butter votes to turn against him. Get the little old ladies who used to vote in droves to turn against him. That should be our goal. Humiliate him with a mandate of votes against him.
Forget a new contract. Just leave everything as it is. Any new deal would just be worst. A pimp raise along with a rise in the cost of your medical insurance and union dues will actually be a pay cut.

This entire city is in a TIF! So convert the building to an old folks home for retired cops.
OT - Where is the manpower. Last academy class of the year due to graduate soon and no one knows when new class will start in 2010. If new class started in Jan 2010, they would not be on the street until July/Aug 2010. Still left shorthanded! Thanks Shortshanks! Now you know why you were eliminated in the first round.
"I have seen nothing but anonymous posts on this, one after another, all with the same writing style and sentence structure and some exact repeats under different topics."
"Sentence structure?"
Are you an English teacher?
Could it be that we pretty much all write in the same style because we've been trained to do so and have been applying that "writing style" on the thousands of reports we write in our careers?
I'll bet the thought of a good conspiracy theory gets you pretty excited, huh?
**facepalm**
.
To: FOP
Lead
Follow
or Get the Hell Out of the Way!
A march without the support of the FOP only shows Daley we are weak in negotiations because we are not unified. On top of that, he could easily spin it against us, saying there are many people who can't even find a job. What's to be gained by an unsanctioned march? I don't see it. They don't call it a union for nothing, no matter how screwed up you think the FOP is. Maybe time might be better spent forming a group of cops who are willing to campaign against Daley in the next election. Even if they lose, a close vote could harm him badly and a true opponent could put many of the issues out front for the voters to see. Daley is weaker now than ever. A march? I don't see it.
I don't think this is the time to march. Not enough first responders know about this and a small turn out would hurt our cause. Lets wait and do a date in the future that will enable the largest turnout of us, city workers, and community groups and have 1 message: Not fire Jody, not raises(already in arbitration & cause is specific to us)make the cause the need for more police officers. This will allleviate most of our problems and will get the public behind us since this is a cause that directly affects them.

well helloooooooo jackie heard hows that 180K++ salary and all the slum homes you own?
FOP there? Wake up boys and girls! The FOP is going to arbitration with the same arbitrator that was in Daleys pocket last time. I think his name is "BEAN"! The FOP has sold us out again. It's time for the FOP to be voted out. How could they agree to this arbitrator again? Ask your unit reps and they will verify what i just stated!
We as the Police voted at the end of 1981 to have the Fop as are union verses the two other's that were on the ballot. Not sure but can't we vote to have a different union or are we stuck with them for life. Just a thought.

Hey, I just wanna know WHEN, WHERE and WHAT TIME?
dozens of squads and looked like crime lab in mt. greenwood lastnight around 107th st. any info????????
I'd rather not participate with absolutely no organization. Let's get it together, do a little planning, then march. Now is not the time.
we cant have a march if no one knows about it or no one shows up. The only way to do it is to have transportation provided and get the huge turnout we had last time. Otherwise we look stupid and actually take a step backwards
A/2 DEPUTY NEEDS TO TAKE CONTROL OF HIS OFFICE INSTEAD LETTING HIS SECRETARY RUN THINGS WHICH HAS NEVER WORKED THE STREET BUT STILL GIVES OUT ORDERS AND HE ALLOWS HER TO DO IT. SHE IS USELESS
The Art of War says attack when your enemy is weak. Shortshanks has just taken a major body blow. Now is the right time to pound his head and finish him. May he eat shit.

You may be too you young to remember, it was John Deneen who sold out the Sergeants, and the rest of the non-exempt white shirts. The sergeants fought for unionization and were going to be F.O.P Lodge 7A. We were going to be like the Fire Department all ranks together up to Captain. But, we were sold out by Deneen and company. Shortshanks divide and conquer strategy is still working today. Every time we try to get something done together we get the cold shoulder.
Keep safe and keep fighting with each other; Shorty needs all the help he can get right now.
Donahue was eligible for the 55 free medical this great benefit why didn't markie take advantage of it

Wait for the right moment people!! this is not it.

City counsel approved the hiring of 200 recruits in 2009 and set aside the money. Then city was promised federal funds to hire 85 officers. So far, not one recruit hired. What happened to the promises and the money already allocted for hiring? Weiss promised us he would hire 200 recruits. So far, 46 hired that will graduate October 8th. Who is bull shitting who?

YES WE CAN!
Spread the word, now is the time. The national and international media are still focused on the folly of the 2016 Olympic bid.
FYI: It's October, not March...
Daley: Olympics failure won't impact my popularity
Mayor Richard Daley today said he doesn't think the city's Olympic bid defeat will have any impact on his popularity and that he hasn't decided yet whether to run for a seventh term in 2011. Daley5
At his first City Hall news conference since Chicago failed to land the 2016 Summer Games, Daley was asked if he expected to pay any political price for the loss.
"None whatsoever" Daley replied.
Marching tomorrow morning will show this sociopath that Chicagoan's have had enough of his BS. It's time to give us a fair contract and to stop crucifying us.
FREE COZZI!
I'd march but don't want to lose my spot on the 017 tact team! They will dump us for sure!
"Not sure the "planners" of this march/protest/gathering knew, but the City Council meets at that time...

Spontaneous combustion never does.
Bring on the Arbitrator for our Contract, and have him immediately look over Daleys books, along with the IRS. enough is enough with this phony bastard's Shell Game with Taxpqyers Dollars. Once the Arbitrator sees that Daley can't back up all his crying poor, due to any reason other than his incompetence, the Arbitrator can't possibly punish the Police with poor or no raise, or backpay because of the knuckle-head Daley Administration mismanagment, theft, and corruption. The appointed Arbitrator's reputation would be forever destroyed if he fell for Daleys bullshit and screwed the working police of CPD, the ONLY ones who generate actual Revenue for the City. Make Daley open the books and explain where all the Taxpayers dollars went to, then have the FEDS/IRS indict him, and he could go down just like Al Capone did. The Feds should haqve already done this decades ago, but don't appear to be legit either anymore, or are being intimidated from higher-up politicians, who, in that case, should be locked up. F[L]OP, we're ALL watching you, so you'd better see to it that this is done, and done right.

No, what this idiot is saying is that he/she thinks that there is only one, single poster trying to stir up interest in a second protest march around city hall on Wednesday, October 7th, at 10am.
And that there is something wrong with both a single poster trying to encourage participation in said second protest and, by implication, in anyone participating in same.
Who do you think would want to discourage a second protest?

Apparently Markie's ability to gauge the needs of the membership and let a contract go on for 2yrs plus goes unchallenged! Read the city wide propaganda when they ran for election and see if you can keep from laughing.
Markie ran as a reformer to Nolan?
Everyone of those inside guys sold their souls for the easiest spot on this job and still have the title of police. At #170,000 do you think Markie cares about your contract or what you deal with everyday? I have 38+ and still on the street not an inside guy when Markie goes I go.........

Geez, what do you delicate flowers do when your patron saint throws a fit, crap your panties?
When I stop seeing "Anonymous said..." I'll start thinking about marching!
whoever is making smartass comments on other peoples comments that don't agree with yours, you sure aren't doing your "cause" any good...
Oh, and what was that cause again?

IF I HAD A DOLLAR EVERY TIME I HEARD THAT STORY. THEY DIDNT CALL HIM Tim-ME FOR NOTHING.
Following is an online comment from a Tribune reader regarding a videotaped DUI arrest, the accusation being that the offender was not drunk but the police officer lied (etc, etc)
Scary person on October 6, 2009 7:01 PM
It is incredibly surprising that no one has started initiating vigilante justice against the CPD. Exact same issues as with the Abatte debacle. Plenty of other cops standing around watching one of their own breaking the laws. If they can't police themselves on their own how can they be trusted to interact with the rest of society in a respectable fashion. Every major city has bad cops, the City of Chicago doesn't have any good cops to stop the bad ones :(
So our public wants to take up the sword against us, the march won't bring change because no one cares about us. We stand alone against the mayor, the s*itheads, and now the public. Time for the good guys to ride off into the sunset.
Why should I give my best to this dept ? No chance for a promotion, no support from the Mayor.
---------------------------------
Here is my thought on this, I am what society makes me. The mayor can F*ck himself if that were the only thing, so be it but the mind set of people who have forgotten that I don't NEED to risk my life for them I ONLY have to investigate so much, I NEVER had to sit in abando's in the heat, cold whatever and watch dope spots. I'm disappointed in society as a whole and have nooooo guilt about riding job to job anymore. It's unfortunate I have to be like this because I really enjoyed doing this job for a long time. It was never my battle nor was it yours so make this job work for you, I have.
FOP website pushing for all those eligible to retire to get their papers in ASAP! Donahue cut the deal with City Hall to get rid of as many as they can PRONTO! Mark and the rest of them ain't going! So whats up with that? Can't get their snout out of the feed bucket?
But they want everyone else so they can deliver their part of the bargain. A giant Trojan Horse containing Daley, MD, Pension "do nothings" and all the other useless "ex FOP mooches!"

Another opportunity and reason to march tomorrow.
Point the finger at the shameful lack of manpower.
All due to the mumbler's penchant for chronic fraud, mismanagement and corruption.
Send the messiah's disciples back to d.c. with something to report to their great leader.
March if at all possible, we ALWAYS GET ATTENTION IF WE MARCH, LIKE EVERYONE ELSE, AND THAT MAKES DALEY'S ASS PUCKER WHEN HE SEES Unity HE CAN'T STOP. We need CHANGE here in Chicago, it's been business as usual for far too long at City Hall, bring on the CHANGE..
Time for a New Era in Government in Chicago, OUT ALL DEMOCRAT Incumbants, form ALL Offices held in the Country.
UNITE!!!
If one marches, WE ALL MARCH!!!!!!

If Tim took a certain action on a grievance there was a reason. I worked with him on many grievances. It took me a while to get to know him, at first I thought he was arrogant but I learned he just didn't like to take the time to explain himself.
Once I learned to read between the lines a bit and to trust him I found him to be very hard working and loyal to the regular PO. He always returned calls, even late at night.
I learned to depend on him and he never let me or any other PO down as far as I know. He is still deeply missed down there.

FOR WHAT, trespass?? I am just a meager po so I don't really know too much about these things but I think there is some papers that suggest a group of people sometimes have the right to assemble and say what they want when they want freedom of speech???
Not too sure though, I will have to call legal affairs to be sure.

---If you look closely that AK-47 is fake!! A bad one at that.
I would love to see a CPD march.
God bless the CPD and nobody else.
Let oec know ahead of time about the march and we will support you. There is about 80 bodies on the 3rd watch. Plenty of time to march and race to rollcall.
We too are shafted by shortshanks.
We feel your pain. You will have the backing of the police and fire communications.
In my humble opinion Fallon was the last of the real bargaining agent bosses. Timmy wasn't perfect but he tried to represent us.
Today is the 8 year anniversary of the War in Afghanistan. Today is the beginning of the CPD War with Corruption in Chicago!
See y'all at City Hall!

We as the Police voted at the end of 1981 to have the Fop as are union verses the two other's that were on the ballot. Not sure but can't we vote to have a different union or are we stuck with them for life. Just a thought.
10/06/2009 10:09:00 AM
You do realize that FOP is composed of people you voted into office. These are people that you put in place they didn't come from FOP they came from you. Do you really think things would be different with a different union. Either it would be people you vote in or people you have no control over. Use your control and vote for the people you want. If you dont vote then shut up.

Bullshit. I admit, when I first met him many years ago, I did originally think he was an arrogant c/s, but then I had the opportunity to get to know him. He was on our side and, if he went for middle ground, it was one he couldn't win and he was getting the best deal possible for you.
Tim Fallon was a stand up guy and he was on our side. And bust your balls, he was the best! Miss you Tim. I hope you and WJJD are having a blast!
FYI. I am not the original poster.
So how is that unorganized march at city hall going? I haven't heard anything on the news about our great "get him while he's down march" Great planning if you wanted to march. If it wasn't for the anonymous posts on SCC nobody would know anything. Next time maybe try planning ahead, getting word out to the districts(believe it not, not every cop reads SCC) Don't be anonymous. Maybe next time state your name to verify if you are truly a cop to make your march a little more credible.
Hey, how did the march go today?
Anybody comment on it yet?
DAMN!!!
WHERE THE #**(# WAS EVERYBODY?!?!
I got there late, just after 10:30 an there wasn't a soul down there for this.
I took a few pictures of the news trucks lined up on the north side of City Hall. I thought there was some guy with a covert earplug taking pictures of me..
We blew the best chance we'll ever have.....damn!

What has the FOP been out in front of? All I see and hear is silence and more silence.
Where have they been?
Coppers being murdered, unjustly incarcerated, unjustly fired, unjustly suspended, working for over two years with no contract, getting slammed daily in the media and NOTHING!
Time for change and for our collective voice to be seen and heard.
The FOP are only concerned about their golden goose payoff retirment gigs.
10/06/2009 12:11:00 AM
I want them out of here too. We need to get organized and ask the FOP to open up their books so we can see why we are paying for so many vice presidents, why past presidents are getting money from us and what type of bylaws this union has. THey are not serving us well at all.

LOL asshat, good one. I'm not Jimmy K but nice try. I guess you don't comprehend very well. I stated like others have that if you are going to try to have a march at least organize it well so maybe me as well as other cops will show up to support it like the first organized march. Obviously this half ass march didn't go over very well now did it, asshat!!!
