Parolee Arrested for Murder
Now, can anyone tie him into Governor Quinn's Early Release program? Because make not mistake about it, this is Quinn's legacy - 1,800 parolees out committing mayhem:
- A 42-year-old parolee with a long rap sheet was charged with fatally shooting a 16-year-old boy outside of a Far South Side convenience store last week.
Friends and family described Couch as having had numerous run-ins with police. His accused killer -- currently out on parole -- also has numerous arrests and felony convictions, including a 2007 conviction for weapon possession by a felon.
White served just over two years of a six-year sentence before being released two weeks before Couch's murder. Police didn't offer a motive for the slaying.
UUW conviction, sentenced to six years, serves two, commits murder. Yup, must be "Illinois Justice" at its finest.

This will become Quinns license for bribes!!!!!!
they are scrambling to get all these guys back in custody
But Cozzi sits in Louisiana.
How is this equitable?

Off Topic:
Maybe the Cook County States Attorneys Office should take lessons from the DuPage County States Attorneys office, see how they quickly obtained a warrant for the guy who killed his ex-wife.
If that happened here in Chicago, Felony Review would have refused to approve the warrant because we haven't searched for him long enough. Then they would have taken us through the ringer and reluctantly approved the warrant with certain conditions.
Geeeez!!!!!!
Makes me wonder how long the guy that shot and wounded my husband while off duty will serve of the original 25 he was sentenced to.
Free Cozzi
a wife
Just another slap in Bill Cozzi's face.
You are not forgotten.
Start making these violent crime thugs serve more than 1/3 or their sentence. This is a crime itself against the public that they are let out so damn early. Start having a class action suit against the state for all the victims who died from these felons who were let out early by the state. Start voicing your opinion to these incompetent politicians who allow this to happen. Use that empty Thomson prison for our own home-grown thugs.
OT:
The Chicago Tea Party will hold a protest on Saturday, January 9, Noon - 2 p.m., at Congressman Dan Lipinski's office, 6245 S. Archer Avenue in Chicago.
Hopefully the GOP puts up a decent candidate. Time to balance this lopsided state with some Republicans.

Another scandal revisited on the front page of today's Trib about the bipolar white female who arrested after two crazy days at Midway airport, and eventually i-bonded at the 002nd Dist,eventually wandering into the Taylor Homes, and either being shoved or jumping from an upper fl. apt. The article doesn't really let the parents off the hook for not keeping a closer eye on their grown (but mentally ill) daughter, but it's sad that so many people on our end dropped the ball on this sick woman too, especially the WC in 008. Parents asking for $100 million in damages. I don't think they'll get that much, but they'll definitely be paid. I'm willing to bet that the WC along with a Sgt. or two and some POs are going to be found personally liable for this when it's all said and done.

Hiring Equals Less Manpower?
The numbers just don't add up.
The new PAX 501 shows just how silly this Department is:
200 Recruits to be hired in all of 2009
Promotions from the rank of patrolman as follows:
80 Sergeants
85 Detectives
35 other D-2 spots
That equals 200 promotions. Which means hiring is a wash this year.
Now factor in the regular 500 to 600 retirements. And the additional retirements once a contract is signed. And who knows how many if Pension Portability becomes law.
The Department is going to have to shut down two Districts just to alleviate the shortages in Patrol.

SCC how about resurecting this old post. Let's see how many of these were actually filled?
O.T.
Do we have a third in contention for the Superintendent's job?
Apparently, since his demotion BL has formed a new Hispanic Law Enforcement Organization (http://www.ahle2009.org/ALLIANCE/HOME.html)with the the Northside Hispanic Reverends to put some pressure on DA MAYOR with the backing of the one and only anti-gay Evangelical Rev. Wilfredo De Jesus and a host of other Hispanic storefront reverends and politicians.
Will this be the nail in the coffin his career for BL or will this help him soar to the top as it did for downtown EB?
Well, we all know for those of us who read between the lines that De Jesus lost some of his steam since DA MAYOR didn't hand pick him to replace Billy Ocasio in the 26th Ward and gave it to Cook County Commissioner Roberto Maldonado instead. This happened because De Jesus and a couple of other politicians (Manny Flores, Luis Gutierrez etc...) publicly ostracized the Mayor for demoting Lopez in the media. We know DA MAYOR doesn't forgive or forget shit howver he does play politics well.
Well, it's a "check" on the chess board. It's JFEDS and DA MAYOR's turn. Will it be a "check mate"?
Is anyone going to the retirement party for Cmdr. Crump-Hale, the party that is being billed as "The Legacy of a Leader..." LMFAO!!!
No wonder crime is rampant-rape, murder, extortion, human trafficking and they get 2 weeks in jail..
The machine will make sure Quinn wins, its the Chicago way.
My partner and I locked up a guy for PSMV about a year and a half ago. He was given 7 years on a plea due to his extensive record of PSMVs, weapons violations and other charges. He reported to Stateville in Feb of 09 and was released in Sep of 09. That's 7 months of a 7 YEAR sentence. If they gave him credit for time served during the trial then he would have served a total of about 16 months of his 7 year sentence. He has been arrested twice since being released. Once yesterday for PSMV. Thank you Governor Quinn. The victims of his recent PSMV and all of his future ones are grateful.
A 42 yr old shooting a 16 yr old in the street only two weeks after being released...wonder if he had some connection to Couch's dead daddy.
Can we just herd all Illinois politicians to a forgotten stone quarry, back fill it, salt the ground and forget 'em?
Abraham Lincoln is getting chaffed spinning in his grave.
Illinois governance (or the implicit lack thereof) has become an epic failure and a laughing stock but we know that since the fish rots from the head down, the head of this stinker is Chicago/Cook County.
Return no incumbent to office... Period. They have no fear and respect of the citizen tax-payer.
Remember the Cook County States Attorney's Office cuts sweetheart deals with criminal to get guilty pleas. Why? Because for the most part they are too incompetent to go to trial. They will plea out felons with guns, armed robberies, rapes, and murders they do not care.
WTF?
Did our eyes believe what we saw when we clicked on the fibune? Rahm Emmanuel is thinking about throwing his hat in the ring for the 2011 mayoral election? WHO ARE THESE MUTHAFUCKAHS HATCHING THIS SHIT?
All we can say is wow...
How deep does the fuckery get in this town?
Hmmm... Ok, just wait for it... These rotten assholes can't hold their hand too long. Somebody's poker face is going to slip soon...
A reporter on WBBM 780 ended his report of this same story by quoting Quinn as saying he didn't think that this (the early release of parolees) would hurt his chance at reelection because "people are more concerned with the economy".
While I'm just as concerned as the next guy that: a) my investments have taken a major hit, b) the value of my properties aren't what they were 5 years ago and c) a generous raise is just a mirage, I'm much more concerned with the greater possibility that my family, loved ones or friends may fall victim to some savage that should be slowly and painfully dying in the joint. My finances will bounce back way before any scars that come with being victimized would heal.
Everything is cyclical in both finance and criminality; as sure as one will surely profit if invested for the long haul, a career criminal will reoffend given enough time and opportunity.
P.S. - A hearty "FUCK YOU!" to Governor Quinn.
OT why no posts about John Garrido, tact Lt from 025, running for cook county board president as a republican? SCC, I think its time to step up and back some candidates. With so many hits and visits, the fact is you are now mainstream media and I dont see why you arent making noise about one of our own running for office?
OT: I was at Maybrook Court today and I saw the part-time Aldercreature "We want Walmart" Brookins defending a few criminal for full-time pay. This guy was in court until noon during regular city business hours, but continued to collect $106k from the city. WTF
He needs more education!
Randall White's neighbor told us that he was still in jail and wasn't scheduled to be released until Feb 2010. Makes sense its around 60 days early (16 Dec 2009). By the way how about the job the dicks did on a no good piece of shit victim's case.
Didnt this just happen a few weeks ago? Parolee kills someone? Christmas eve?
This place sucks!
Is it me or is there a large number of people committing very violent crimes that appear to be over the age of 30? It all has been happening this past month.
The guy who killed the old man in Bronzeville? 48 years old
December 27, Police shoot 38 year old man 79/Rhodes.
December 29, police shoot 31 year old man, 56/calumet.
All but one police shooting this past month involved someone 30 and older.
Something tells me it isn't the young kids doing the killings...
Thanks to the Area 1 Detectives for making us have our slips stamped in court. Stay in Skips and stay out of court.
There's a link to the entire list included in the article posted 30Dec on the Clout Street blog for the Tribune online. He's not on it but it's interesting to check who else is. You can run their names on the IDOC site and see what they were in for.
Jeez, Cozzi got a tougher sentence!
People need to realize these assholes killing people are the same assholes the get caught for one or two rocks, repeat shop lifters, constant TVB's, and yes Governor UUW.
If they are playing with guns before they are gonna do it again, these are the shooters and just because you don't get caught committing violence doesn't mean your not a violent muthafucka... same savages.
We are good at what we do, but let's face it these assholes get caught 10% of the time. Think about how much savagery they get away with...
In this case, doesn't double negatives create a positive? The problem fixed itself.
Geez.......
These folks with the Big $$$$$ Jobs & small $$ brains must be the only ones who think daley and his motley crew are the greatest thing since welfare was invented.
I wonder how much of that payroll money makes its way back to shanks ??????
the state of illinois is already bankrupt and making all these savages serve out a full sentence just adds to the dilemma--- what's the answer--- shoot first and ask questions later------
Quinn is a total softball !
We gotta vote him out of there.
See ya former Gove Quinn!! The blood is on your hands, just like Huckabee is for the four police officers in Washington State.
the police do their job of arresting these assholes and the courts and the prison system let them out
Why isnt he in Thomsan Correctional center which is virtually vacant
Bless the Chicago Police for grabbing this asshole
Stay safe and I hope to see you all at the pension board
Perhaps when he's sentenced he can be George Ryan's cellmate. The Kankakee Conservative could provide him tutelege& guidance whilst in the penal system.
This POS Governor doesn't deserve to be a dog catcher. No disrespect toward dog catchers. In any event, he's as soft as silly putty. Hopefully someone with half a brain will run for Governor and this shit bum can hit the bricks.
A lot of posters over the years have posted their opinions on who is a good boss or not,and why they are or aren't. Does anyone know what makes a boss a "good boss"? Most of these positive post were written about a boss being good because he (or she) went to bat after being jammed up. What was "the" jam up? Granted police are targted in this city and civilians and even other city workers will go after the Po-Po in a heart-beat. I wish the best and safe keeping for all, but WTF start measuring a boss by their effectiveness too.
I see certain sworn and retired guys/gals have got it, and I surely hope there are more out there. There have been cases interrupted and halted, within OCD especially, because these cases began investigating political bodies and the "connected" in Chicago, Cook County and the State. Where and who are the bosses going to bat for these working police who are making these cases? Think about it and if this is the first time you realize it then I say Welcome to Chicago.
There are great bosses out there, and great bosses who retired. Who are the bosses who let the working copper, detective, sgt, lt...work their investigations to the end? Or who were those bosses?
Remember what is asked to be the police, and if you have to ask what that is then quit. CPD has previous "good" bosses who have allowed enough shit to go on that I still don't know if they sleep at night.
And Quinn is the third or fourth highest paid governor in the nation, making about 175K per year. Talk about "A WASTE" in government.
I have been 'polled' by two organizations on this issue just today! This looks like it could bury Quinn. Point brought up by both pollsters was how Quinn lied about his knowledge of the Early Release Program, and how did I feel about that...
PENSION NEWS BULLETIN!!!
Did our membership know that our city treasurer who sits on our pension board is accepting political contributions from those people who invest our pension money?
READ THE ARTICLE IN FOP NEWSLETTER!!!

http://www.chicagofop.org/Newsletter/2010/012010news.PDF
A conflict of interest?
Unethical behavior by elected official?
So they donate to her political campaign and then she votes to use them to invest our money and refuses to vote against getting rid of them for bad investments and excessive fees.
BUSINESS AS USUAL IN THE LARGEST CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE IN HISTORY. THE CITY OF CHICAGO!!!
SCC,
Check this out, City of Chicago v. Orejel. The plantiff, Stephanie Orejel, alleges that a male Chicago Police officer criminally sexual assaulted her at the Diplomat Hotel, 3200 N. Sheffield, in January 2009. Apparently, the judge has ordered any officer within a mile of the occurrence on the time and date to appear before the Corporation Counsel. Several guys in 023, including myself, have been notified. In total, supposedly 80 officers have been notified. No one can advise what the real purpose of our trip is. You can verify above through www.justia.com and court notification. And of course, a call to FOP has been placed.
I think we all know the motive, it just isn't "politically correct."
This guy should get a medal for gunning this mutt down. Give him the medal then put him in the chair for a million volts. Kill two birds with one stone
I am not LEO, nor a lawyer. If my question is inappropriate please delete.
Could someone please explain why the feds did not go after him with firearms possesion by a felon? Isn't that 5-10 years with little if any time off for "good behavior",if I understand correctly. And that they could also be prosecuted on state charges
My understanding is that Chicago some sort of joint office combining city and fed employess/lawyers to prosecute such cases a few years back.
NukemJim
May I be the first suburban citizen troll to express my extreme pleasure with the happy ending of this story? Lets face it, sometimes taking out the trash is part of a lawmans job as it was in the wild west days of say Dodge City. I don't want to minimize taking someones life but you know, you do what you have to do and we are glad you cops are there to do it.
The "best" part of early release is felony DUI offenders released AFTER ONE DAY IN IDOC!!
Where is the deterrence in that?
No wonder coppers are laughed at in this state by felons and their families.
Yawn....
Is any CPD office shocked?
I mean, really?
WAY TO GO QUINN, YOU FAT-ASSED IRISH POTATO HEAD. YOU ARE FAR TO STUPID TO BE MY GOVERNOR AND IT WILL BE A COLD DAY IN HELL BEFORE YOU, OR ANY OF YOUR DEMOC-RAT COHORTS EVER GETS MY, OR MY FAMILY MEMBERS VOTES.

The more "bleeding hearts bleed for these scumbags the more innocent folks really bleed !

We have heard about this and it just continues to prove what an incompetent mess the cook county court system is. We have judges that don't even have the smarts to be a comcast cable worker. Now the city will be paying over time for nothing. What a waste!
Kiss Quinn's ass GOOD BY over this! Dan Hines is a shoe in for the democrate seat, but lets just hope a republican wins this time. Hines is just part of the chicago big tax, re-distribute the wealth machine. SAY NO TO CHICAGO POLITICIANS!!! We have had enough!
Quinn can't win...
He doesn't have a clue as to how
he is being handled out of his job.
Pitiful state, county city...
I wish all Illinois good luck,
most of all to (CPD Rank & File)*
Free Cozzi!!!
Never Forget!!!
Be Safe***
coppers are laughed at in every state by felons and their families. face it, coppers are just laughed at in every state by everybody. better laughed at, than shot at.
..."you are far too stupid to be my governor." Did someone qualify?
A vote for Quinn is a vote for Madigan.
Thanks to the Area 1 Detectives for making us have our slips stamped in court. Stay in Skips and stay out of court.
Skips (Northeyes) closed over a year ago........
ditto....that or some stand-up independent....anything but da dems.
The Illinois correctional system is a big f*cking joke. The general public just doesn't know or doesn't care, but we see it all the time when we arrest these felons. 5 plus page rap sheets, in and out of prison. It would save the citizens, court system, law enforcement and scores of others lives, time and money it they just keep these assholes in prison for the full amount of time they should be serving.
Signed, no bleeding heart
Orejel v. City of Chicago was filed in federal court so it is a federal judge ordering the officers to appear.
As far as Illinois governors go, he's right on the money. Not too stupid, not too fat.

im pretty sure its the Diplomat motel on Lincoln ave in 020th district. i got notified and i'll gladly take the 3hrs OT.
Help me keep score:
Homicides by governor:
Ryan: 6
Huckabee: 4
Quinn: 3 (but he's not done yet)
Maybe I'm being a bit sadistic, but upon the condition of release, they should have their hands chopped off. For sex offenders, castrate them.
Better yet, drop them all in a kill zone in the Middle East with nothing to defend themselves.
The court systems here in the U.S. are a joke, and the criminals know it's nothing but a revolving door for them and many are out within hours of their arrest.
Officer Daniel Faulker's killer will never be executed. He'll die in prison before the Commonwealth of PA even puts a needle to someone's arm. The same thing will happen to Officer Cassidy's killer as well (he was sentenced to death).
I hate effing liberals. They've destroyed this country.
Hopefully they didn't "accidentally" let out Ryan out of his 6 X 8, that would be a real tragedy.
News at 6 says Quinn won't get rid of the guy he is blaming, but has now hired a former CPD to overlook this. Quinn blames it on someone else, doesn't fire the guy, but just puts another on the 'ol state payroll. Wonder who the former CPD is, Maurer???
I'm willing to bet that the WC along with a Sgt. or two and some POs are going to be found personally liable for this when it's all said and done
------------------
This is the lesson to be learned. I had an assigned partner who cut corners once, and I got subpoenaed for depositions. His half assed work put me in front of lawyers. It turned out Ok though. Haven't seen the cop since. Be careful, do the right thing. Ounce of prevention, pound of cure,
FREE BILL COZZI...
