Questionable Endorsement
From an e-mail, a regular reader points out that in the newsletter, the FOP endorses Dan Gallagher for Circuit Court Judge.
We know that the FOP tends to endorse any candidate that shows up for the meeting, but if our e-mailer isn't mistaken, Gallagher was the public defender who succeeded in getting off the shooter of a Chicago Police Officer in the Rockwell Gardens complex. Gallagher spent his time in Judge Evelyn Clay's courtroom belittling and attacking the investigating detectives claiming that the confession given by his piece of shit client was (surprise surprise!) coerced.
Anyone from FOP want to explain this endorsement? Because we are kind of steaming right now that someone who spent time defending this asshole and attacking our detectives with baseless accusations somehow got endorsed in our names.

Also please check to see if he got kicked out of Duke and received his degree at a later time. Check a lot of things about his background. FOP you dropped the ball on this one.
THE SAME FOP THAT FUKED OVER CAPP'S BROTHER WHEN HE RAN FOR CONGRESS=Thanks Mark
The FOP endorsement process is big b.s. Donahue decides who to pick and then the board goes along. Donahue is looking for a job after he leaves FOP. Rumor has it Donahue wants to be a lobbyist.
Yeah other than being a scum sucking piece of shit, he's a great guy and worthy of our support!
Wow. If this is true about the endorsement....it shows the FOP is not in the know. But then again we are talking about the FOP. I get this feeling that a lot of what the FOP has told me in the past is a lot of lip service anyway. Clueless people just trying to make you go away by giving you a little bit of advice, or some half-ass attempt of righting a wrong. You feel me? For instance, the behaviorial program that many officers were put on. Whatever happened with that???? Some officers got an apology in writing from the CPD. That was it. What did the FOP do for the officers that received the apology? What recourse was enacted for the INNOCENT officers that were raked over the coals. Those physicals and psychological tests that HAD to be done on the officers time. Where was the lawsuit??? Did anyone ever collect any monetary settlement from anyone? Just like 9-11, there are officers out here that aren't forgetting about that behaviorial program that was akin to something like Nazism. So these endorsements that are made by the FOP is NOT the word of God.
The officers of the FOP, past and present, have a lot of "splaining" to do.
When will you wake up and realize that the FOP means Feast Off the Police. They are there to enrich themselves and line up jobs for when they pull the pin. It's always been like that. Are they living the good life off of union dollars?
I suspect it is because there are 2lawyers named Dan Gallagher. The one running for judge is a public defender who was assigned to Judge Clay's courtroom as set out in SCC's article. The other Dan Gallagher is an attorney who has a long history of representing police officers and is presently representing police officers in more than 50 cases in state and federal court.
FOP may have been misled as to which Dan Gallagher was the candidate for judge. The one who is defending police officers is NOT the one running for judge.
You want to talk about a conflict of interest?? I was attending my regular traffic key and seen the unthinkable. OUR FOP attorney Tom Needham was representing a civilian who struck a POs vehicle on the way to work causing personal injury. Several times during the trial , Needham asked the officer about his employment (district, duty hours ,etc). POS!
Luck of the Irish?
WHAT A FUCKING JOKE THE FLOP IS.
If I remember correctly, Dan was an older-than-usual ASA in Felony Review, then in someone's courtroom, then a trial assistant in Felony Review, then fired from the SA's office (alcohol-related), thereafter working for the other side with the PD's office. I remember Dan as a good guy who knew the score. He drove an antique, rare Mercedes-Benz convertible and was part of the Jean's crowd.
Well, ALL lawyers and PD's claim confessions were coerced. I believe there was even a formset that the PD's office used for the accusations. It was usually the only defense they had against the atrocity perpetrated by their clients. I never heard of any Detective getting into trouble from the testimony given in motion-to-suppress hearings. This charade was all part of the game. Once in awhile a judge would suppress a confession and a case would fall apart. But most confessions were not suppressed and Bad Guy was convicted. There was even a Catch-22 to it. If the PD's office did not mount a vigorous defense (I suppose accusing the Detectives of coercion was part of that) Bad Guy might win an appeal that he was not represented by adequate counsel. Boy, when you think about it, we have screwed up system.
HOWEVER, there are lawyers who take the charade further, like Jeffrey Haas and the People's Law Office and that whole group from Northwestern U. and file civil suits and whine on TV and in the papers about how their client-dogs were mal-treated. They also go to the G. These are the dog-lawyers who cause misery.
Maybe I'm wrong and suffering from selective memory (you know like you remember the good things from your time in the service and forget KP and shit-burning) and Dan turned into a Bad Guy after being fired from the ASA office, but I remember him as being a pretty decent guy.
I have been on the job for 21 years and have had multiple cases in front of Mr.Gallagher. I have always found him to be fair,and dedicated to simply finding the truth. A defense attorney,especially a Public Defender is usually in a coppers eyes,seen to be the Devil. I have never found that with Mr.Gallagher. As a judge he will be fair/open minded and in the era of the police being prosecuted with malice I'd be very relived to have my case tried in his court room.
Thank you for reminding people about this incident.We tend to forget. I will remember this name when I go into the polling booth next Tuesday!!
Danny Gallagher is NOT A police hater,he's anything but that.He has gone out of his way to seek me out on multiple occasions to say good job and commend me on GOOD police work. He's a good guy and for people to try and blacklist him is simply wrong and misguided. His job doesn't exactly have him defending altar boys and he's the first to admit it. As a registered Conservative Republican he 's still going to get my vote.
Any chump who follows ANY endorsement deserves the crappy government they currently have. Think for yourself! The whole reason we have the Daleys, Blagos, and Strogers is that previous generations "punched Democrat" because their union told them to or because some precinct captain gave them a frozen turkey.
lucy..you ve got some splainin to do.
Do you think they just got on board a moving train? or is the FOP the engineer and pulling him out of the station? Gallagher's running unopposed, his competition withdrew days after the FOP endorsement was announced.
Simple. He is a Dan Herbert (noted Dick Devine lackey) classmate from Loyola Academy. Dany asked for the endorsement. Anything Dan wants, Dan gets.
When will you people realize that this is a JOB!
Those of you who are on a crusade to bring truth and justice to the ghetto known as the city of Chicago are fools.
Our job is to put people into jail and its the media and PD's job to get them out. ASA's put the makeup on your face and judges get paid extra to manage the circus.
And around and around we go until 20 years goes by and off the merry-go-round you go and on comes someone else.
Your job is to bring law to people who want none of it at the behest of the man they insist on voting for. Nothing more.
FOP sucks! I say we get a clas action law suit against them. I'd like to see everyone get their 2 years of dues back. Two years they failed to negotiate a contract for us.
We pay them to represent our rights, contracts, and salaries to best reflect the cost of living and what is fair and just. They have failed us in that aspect yet continued to cash in on our dues. What the fuck do we pay them for?
It's a business. Nothing more, and without question, nothing less. It's very design is for US! We pay, they play and act as though they are in it for us. I'm no genius but damn, we've been getting the shaft with no sign of a contract in the works. Smoke and mirrors.
The economy sucks and I think the money would come in handy. It might also wake these bums up and make them hungry to do what's right.

Hey jagballs, in case you weren't reading I'll put it in big letters for you HE DEFENDED SOMEONE WHO SHOT A COP. Enough said there but I'll go on because you obviously have a small brain. People who defend cop killers, cop shooters etc do not like the police. I don't care what his excuse was, I got paid well or I was his public defender I didn't have a choice, not acceptable. We all have choices and the mere fact he defended anyone for shooting a cop means he's a POS. Now I hope you are not a cop because if you are make sure you find a nice inside spot and stay there because the rest of us don't need you to back us up. And as far as telling us you are a COnservative Republican? Who cares so am I
SCC, Thanks for posting my Dan Gallagher post I sent you last night at 0015 hrs.
I also sent the same email to the FOP. Specifically, I sent it to;
Mdonahue@chicagopolice.org, bdougherty@chicagopolice.org, fdimaria@chicagopolice.org, gbella@chicagopolice.org, sdavis@chicagopolice.org, jcapparelli@chicagopolice.org, jbailey@chicagopolice.org.
As of 1100 hrs this morning I have not received an email form any of our FOP brothers. Perhaps fellow readers could also email our ELECTED FOP officials and inquire how this Dan Gallagher got the endorsement.
Thanks and stay safe.
Who in their right mind would vote for anyone recommended by any publication(Trib, Scumtimes etc.)? Do your homework then make Your own decision.

Just another connecetd clown!
To 3:01 am;
I agree about the situation over the BIS that many officers where placed in and they suffered and worried along with their families and asshole FOP did nothing. I contacted them and I was told nothing can be done. These were some of the hardest working officers in the city and not the ones that avoid work at all cost. FOP's a Joke and is not interested in the membership and just themselves. If teamsters came in, I would switch in a second.
to 9:07 AM, the Dan Gallagher you refer to is not the same Dan Gallagher that is running for judge.
Any dealngs I have had with Dan Gallagher in court are to be expected from a. PUBLIC DEFENDER. He has always been more than fair and at times complimentary after the trial. On occasion, seeing him outside of the courtroom he holds no grudges towards us and was a complete gentleman. After years as a P.D.who better than to see threw all the nonsense that bad guys throw out. He'll be getting my vote in Nov.
OT
If you are or were a police officer, this is very hard to watch. It is an example of today's new PC officer, trained to just kiss ass even when faced with death for fear of law suits or reprimand. Notice this cop's last word was "sir".Can you believe that? sir?? talking to that piece of shit under these circumstances? Probably doing what he was trained to do in an academy whose curriculum was formulated by a bunch of neo modern assholes who never worked the streets to see what the real world is really like to, never draw your gun, just show them respect and they will comply, but don’t hurt 'em cuz we don’t want any law suits....sure they will. Of course it is easy for us old timers to say that the cop should have taken charge right off the bat at the first escalation with a good smack up side the head with a baton or slapper followed by cuffs and the first sign of a weapon in this scumbags hand would have been his last act. The asshole should've been dropped right where he stood as soon as the gun came out. If he would have done that instead of worrying about being sued or reprimanded later, but he'd still be alive. Tragic and sad. The blame goes to whoever trained him.

But just the fact that he was a public defender in the past is enough for me. I'm sure many times he knew in his heart these a-holes were guitly yet he still feels the need to try and free them. That very notion is what's wrong with this county. If he's guilty, he's f*cking guilty. Quit trying to get them off on a technicality. Put them away from society and where they belong - in a cage.
No current or former Public Defender will ever get any respect from me, let alone my vote.
if this is true I say its reason enough for a major change at FOP. I have alwasy supported my union but if you made a move like this then you have sealed your fate Donahue.
Second City Cop. You have our full and undivided attention. What about this site being for police officer information? What did happen to all the officers that were apologized to in a letter from CPD? Was there any monetary settlement or any FOP lawyers working on this case? When the program happened there were a lot of things happening with an underground movement and a lot of phone calls to individual attorneys and lawyers by most of the police officers involved. It was almost pathetic that the cases were not all bundled up in one nice package by the FOP lawyers and a mass lawsuit filed. That was the greatest slap in the face to the officers that the FOP refused to do anything. The PROGRAM prevented officers from any promotion, tainted their resumes, and made them suspect among their co-workers. Sounds like at least some monetary settlement could have been gotten. Lets face it. Some mutt files a lawsuit against the city over some bs and gets thousands of dollars. An officer has no recourse? An officer gets SLANDERED and his/her own union can't do anything? Blood and urine samples taken from officers because the program dictated it. A violation of constitutional rights and the FOP couldn't do anything. Where are the posts on this one SCC? And now a questionable endorsement from FOP? THE WHOLE FOP IS QUESTIONABLE WHEN IT CAN'T EVEN STICK UP AND HELP OUR OWN OFFICERS. FATHER NAGLE ARE YOU LISTENING? JOHN KASS THE GUY FROM THE TRIBUNE ARE YOU LISTENING? ALL THOSE PEOPLE THAT ARE IN A POSITION TO HELP. ARE YOU LISTENING? Or is it that all this and more is falling on deaf ears? The reality is silence is not golden.
The FOP is the same organization that also wants to take away our 2nd Amendment rights (even as coppers). When the talk turned to a new so-called "assault weapons" ban, the FOP was falling all over themselves to endorse it, just like they did the first time during the Clinton years.
FOP did worse than drop the ball. They do not have the right to endorse any freakin candidate without asking their membership. They are not an organization with those rights, we are the organization, we pay their salaries and they forget that they work for US!
Everyone tries to get ahead on the backs of patrolmen. If we don't take our power back, sgts, lts, capts, and the FLOP heads will continue to powder their donuts on our backs. I'm sick of it!

Who gives a shit if he sought you out to say Good Job. Big deal. What he says in private to you is different than cases he tries against the police as whole so go tout your shit on this pricks blog and not here asswipe.
You know what? How many of you posting on here attend meetings? They only get away with what we let them. Go to a meeting and bitch. Vote them out and quit bitching. Get off your ass and do soemthing about who serves for the FOP.
HIS SISTER IS ON THE CPD. HAD A CASE WITH HIM / AS A PD AND THE OFFENDER IN A UUW CASE, GOT THE OFFENDER DEAD BANG AND LOW AND BEHOLD AFTER A MEETING WITH THE ASA, THE DEAL WAS C AND D THE WEAPON AND NOT GUILTY.
I have been on the job for 21 years and have had multiple cases in front of Mr.Gallagher. I have always found him to be fair,and dedicated to simply finding the truth. A defense attorney,especially a Public Defender is usually in a coppers eyes,seen to be the Devil. I have never found that with Mr.Gallagher. As a judge he will be fair/open minded and in the era of the police being prosecuted with malice I'd be very relived to have my case tried in his court room.
Shove it up your ass, Gallagher.
I don't mean to be sounding like a stroke,but Dan Gallagher has always been very professional, even though he's on the other side. Didn't those coppers in 08 that just got acquited have DEFENSE ATTORNEYS. He's got a job to do,he can't just stand there and agree with the ASA's.
The PD Gallagher is running unopposed, so who cares. The older Dan Gallagher? Not a bad guy, don't know if he's running or not.
Just don't vote for Epstein, Hooks, and Thaddeus Wilson. Police haters.
He's supposed to defend his client no matter how shitty the dude is. Part of that defense is to call into question how the police handled the arrest. If the judge falls for it, it is the judge's fault not his. He's doing his job.
Having worked in the court section,you guys need to cut. Dan some slack. He's a good family guy and is disliked by most of the PD's because he doesn't sling mud and play race card. He'll make a great judge!!!!!!
Heard Marky D wants to get a job with Tom Dart. What better way than to endorse some "party" judges.
How dare you say anything bad about the FOP? They'll sick Greg Bella on you. Better look out.
I am not sure which Dan Gallagher is running for what, however, the Dan Gallagher that I remember was always pro-police. When he was in Felony Review (1980's era) he had a very high approval rate compared to the other 31 ASA's in that unit. Makes no difference to me since I voted early and voted Republican, as usual.

WHAT???? You have GOT to be kidding!
Bottom line is ALL LAWYERS ARE PIECES OF SHIT!!! They will go where ever the money is, NOT the truth. This includes our own lawyers. They represent us because the FOP pays them a lot of money to do so. That's it. Not because they really care about us.
OT
You might also want to remember that David Hoffman's campaign for US Senator is being handled by David Axelrod's firm.
F.O.P. ENDORSED TOM DART A FORMER STATES ATTORNEY AGAINST SYLVESTER BAKER WHO WAS A FORMER POLICE OFFICER AND HAD WAY MORE QUALIFICATIONS THEN THE CURRENT SHERIFF. THE WHOLE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT HEADS ARE ALL FORMER STATES ATTORNEY'S THAT ARE AGAINST THE POLICE. ITS TIME TO VOTE OUT ALL OUTSIDERS THAT WERE NEVER THE POLICE FROM EVERY MAJOR DEPARTMENT, BECAUSE OUTSIDERS CREATE MAJOR MORALE ISSUES!!!
Don't forget to take a second look at Eddie Acevedo. Arrestee, P.O., police resister, etc...
I want to vomit when I hear coppers say, "give Dan Gallagher a break, he likes the police."
F-you all if you are willing to give a guy that defended a guy that SHOT a Chicago PO! You make me sick to my stomach. God forbid something happens to you and "dude" beats the case. I bet you would be the 1st ones to demand justice. Well let's give some justice to the P.O that was shot.
Stay safe
to the 1:03 PM guy with the video link,where did this happen?...and did they catch the asshole.that was almost impossible to watch.i need a drink now
I am sickened by some of the comments from so called brothers in blue about this jagoff!! To the copper who said that the only thing that is pertinent is the fact that this fuck defended a police shooter, amen brother!!
I don't care if this asshole is my brother in law, you defend some savage that tries to take a policemen out, that's it, all bets are off. This man is no better than the piece of shit he's defending!
The fact that any other copper would think otherwise is exactly why these animals shoot at and fight the police, because they can with the help of snake attorneys like Gallagher fighting for them.
To the copper who sad he complimented you after court, are you serious? Anytime a lawyer talks in or near a courtroom its'a lie genius!!
Ed Acevedo also gets FOP endorsements.
Generally speaking public defenders make better judges than ASA's.
Judges who were former ASA's look at a case and see all the holes in it.
Judges who were former PD's look at yet another defendant who is lying through their teeth just like all the other defendants he represented in the past.
Judges at 26th street who were former PDs tend to go very light on the drug sentences and very heavy on the violent sentences. Former ASA judges tend to do the reverse.
Is eddie acevedo the little bald headed dude?
It's pretty simple you vote republican and you dont have to worry about what any ex-defense police hater did.

This video is infuriating to watch. Not only because of the crazed shooter but just watching the Officer waiting until its to late to react. Not only did he not draw his firearm until much to late but he neglected his other tools. OC or the asp/baton could have brought this to an end before firearms even entered the picture. Like the website says, command the individual to do what you want them to do and if they don't you move to the next level. I'll tell you once, maybe twice but after that the kids gloves come off. RIP to the Officer. At least let us learn from his mistakes.

I was in that courtroom during some of those hearings. Watched Gallagher repeatedly accusing Latino detective of calling the defendant racial slurs. Hammered at him over and over, even though he kept denying it. Finally, the detective pointed out that he himself was a minority and had people throw racial slurs at him his whole life and, as a result, never used him. He was so believable, Gallagher was forced to back off. Score one for the good guys!

Another Questionable Endorsement
I just got a letter from the ILFOP president Ted J. Street asking me to vote for Mike Macellaio in the 36th House district race.
Macellaio is a Madigan hack and police hater.
Street, as you might remember, collaborated with scumbag Paul Halmke of the Brady Campaign in endorsing Tammy Duckworth
Where do we get these clowns?
Hey, I'll explain the edorsement. Gallagher is Irish and the SOB'S at the FOP are Irish. Thats why Gallagher recieved an endorsement. If you are Polish, Italian, Lithuanian, Czech, Norwegian, or belong to any of the other ethnic groups who built America you could cure cancer and still not get endorsed by the FOP. It's been that way since Dineeen headed this venerable Irish drinking fraternity and it remains so today. There is as little credibility in an FOP endorsement as there is in the merit promotions they are afraid to fight-"Daley will be mad at us if we do, shudder!"
You want change? Stop voting for democrats, and most Irish. And call in favors with family and friends so they, too, will vote for conservatives.

Hey SCC is there any chance of getting a list of "SCC Recommended" judges? The opinions of the members of this blog would be greatly appreciated by the civilians who support CPD. Your readership deals with these judges frequently and knows who is good and who needs to go, most civilians have no clue.
An SCC Palm Card would be a good thing!
Easy People...THIS Dan Gallagher
was never an ASA; he is just another heavy as whale shit irish
door bell ringer who got the nod from Mr. Herbert who iced the deal with Dick(less) Devine and the rest of the short midget's crew to run UNOPPOSED in the Dumbocrrrat primary. He is known as an "in and out" guy at 26th St. He has screwed up assignments for three of the biggest judicial ass clowns (Sacks, Clay and douche bag Nick Ford) by being late and ducking early. Area 4 had a semi real death case with a predator rapist and this guy ducked the trial to campaign. Mark was told to endorse him; so what , he is unopposed and the ONLY way to stop him is in the General Election...but of course you would have to vote REPUBLICAN; so don't worry about it till then and maybe somebody knows who his republican oppostion is. Carry On and worry about each other, not this 'golden child'.
I think he plays Goalie for the FOP STARS TEAM!

The F.O.P. is such a joke. We need some new blood in there. The VP is a joke too.
SCC, Thanks for posting my Dan Gallagher post I sent you last night at 0015 hrs.
I also sent the same email to the FOP. Specifically, I sent it to;
Mdonahue@chicagopolice.org, bdougherty@chicagopolice.org, fdimaria@chicagopolice.org, gbella@chicagopolice.org, sdavis@chicagopolice.org, jcapparelli@chicagopolice.org, jbailey@chicagopolice.org.
As of 1100 hrs this morning I have not received an email form any of our FOP brothers. Perhaps fellow readers could also email our ELECTED FOP officials and inquire how this Dan Gallagher got the endorsement.
Thanks and stay safe.
bdougherty isn't going to respond, this jagoff only cares about himself. He's a f&@$ing joke.

Listen to the issues, research the stats and vote for the best candidate not the one that feels he/she is entitled to the job 'cause he/she put in the time.
G-d Bless and Be Safe.
Whoever posted that Macellaio is a policehater does not know what they are talking about. Mike Macellaip is a stand up guy who is friends with many CPD. (perhaps you were confused w/ his uncle). In fact his father in-law Lt. Cushing was one of the bosses ever on this police department. ..real police in 7, 12 and narcotics.
Sorry to do this but don't bring up the deceased Lt. MC. He was not a good boss, sorry, he just wasn't. His name ticks some of us off.

It's been that way since Dineeen headed this venerable Irish drinking fraternity and it remains so today. There is as little credibility in an FOP endorsement as there is in the merit promotions they are afraid to fight-"Daley will be mad at us if we do, shudder!"
You want change? Stop voting for democrats, and most Irish. And call in favors with family and friends so they, too, will vote for conservatives.

More than half are NOT Irish, time to stop posting while under the influence. I get it though, you hate the Irish. I am with you there. Except for my partner who is Irish and is also the best policeman and finest human being I ever met. Other than that, sure, hate 'em all. And me? Polish, 100%
