Hubris

As Harold Washington said, "That's arrogance gone wild."

Anyone want to see some top of the line hubris? Hop over to that Blog we don't link to run by J-Fled and his policy group lackeys. In the "Ask The Superintendent" section, we find this question:
  • I tried using the homan square gym as I have for the past several years. Unfortunately this time I was not able to get a locker to secure my belongings. There are guest lockers that always are taken and only a couple of people are using the gym. I talked to other officers who went to the gym and decided never to return because they could not get a locker. Can you contact the commander of OCD and have him take care of this issue.

    Posted on May 22, 2010 at 08:10 AM
And the answer?
  • Superintendent's Response

    Chief Brown has higher priorties [sic] than checking gym lockers. Here's an idea - go to a private gym. Chicago has quite a few, probably very close to your home. JW

Wow. Really? We recall J-Fled wanting officers to be in shape. Weren't there some POWER tests required to carry a rifle? We even remember Greg Bella asking for some refrigerators and equipment being placed in districts so officers could bring healthy food to work instead of eating out constantly.

Now let's see what else we remember. Private gyms experience rashes of thefts from lockers and such. Off the tops of our heads, we can recall 13 separate incidents of officers losing stars, ID's and guns from private gyms, not to mention cars after their keys were taken. Private gyms can be expensive, especially in a recession, especially when we still haven't seen a raise in 3 years and there's no guarantee Shortshanks isn't going to screw the contract approval process.

Finally, we remember Chief Brown was demoted by J-Fled, suffered a rather humiliating resume flap in Arizona, ended up in a number of court filings of a rather embarrassing nature, was re-promoted despite J-Fled's lack of backing and is currently running an entire division of the department into the ground. So while J-Fled didn't exactly lie about Chief Brown having higher priorities, he was a bit flip about it.

We understand the policy group actually answers the questions in J-Fled's name, but when it's your signature on the answers, it's your responsibility. If you page through the entire archives, there are a whole bunch of smarmy smart-ass replies to legit concerns. J-Fled really ought to have a talk with Ray-Ray, KB and the rest of the group.

Better hurry over there if you want to read it all - we know the Blackberries were going off all night telling people to scrub the more insulting ones.

My favorite line from Harold Washington came on his 65th birthday. During a press conference on that day a reporter asked the mayor if it was his birthday. Mayor Washington responded yes and it was his 65th birthday. The reporter asked him how he feels being 65 years old...

Mayor Harold Washington responded, "Some of it hurts but all of it works!" One of the best lines I have heard and I have used it myself at times...

Gee. I wonder why morale is at an all time low with these douchenozzles running the show.

Newsflash Weiss: Small issues left unchecked turn into big ones. Coppers not getting lockers turns into stolen weapons. Stolen weapons turn into bad things.

Coppers not getting lockers turns into coppers not going to the gym... Obviously, not the best thing.

There are any number of reasons why this trivial, simple-to-resolve issue should be handled with a phone call, but instead, you pass the buck off onto the old-standby steaming pile of bullshit excuse- "higher priorities"?

Pathetic.

Every piece of litter on the ground is a 'lowest priority' matter, until it adds up into piles, which eventually adds up into mounds, which eventually stinks up the whole fucking show.

Consider this bit of flippancy yet another piece of garbage pitched on the ever growing JW pile, the stench of which is starting to get intolerable.

However, when I was outside waiting on my partner, I saw a female caucasian Sgt holding a bag of those "in loving memory" pins we're all to familiar with. This Sgt looked like she had some years on her as well. So I approached and asked if I could have a pin, and her response was "there are more inside" and continued to pay no attention to me or anyone else looking interested in proudly wearing a pin. This dipshit poor excuse for a Sgt then disapeared rather quickly afterwords. I was speechless that this bitch couldn't pass not a single pin out and was clearly acting as this whole wake thing was some how an inconnvenience to her. She clearly doesn't remember, or perhaps never knew what it's like to be the police. So sad.

I'm glad you brought this up. I responded to that commit. I asked jfled if the co of the building isn't responsible for the building then who is?

I also asked jfed Chief Brown was demoted several ranks to lt. Then a few months later he is suddenly re-promoted several ranks past that to Chief. What did Chief Brown do as the Area 1 RBT lt that was sooooo great to deserve such a promotion? The Commander of Area 1 is still there. The robberies, burglaries and theft numbers haven't changed. So what did he do to warrant this re-promotion? This was all done on jfed watch so he can't say Cline demoted him.

It still hasn't been posted yet.

After many long minutes of hacking at the underbrush, he spotted something glistening in the leaves. As he drew nearer, he discovered that it was an eight iron in hands of a Tax payers skeleton!

Shortshanks immediately called out to his friend, J-Fled I've got trouble down here!"

"What's the matter Mr. Mayor?" J-Fled asked from the edge of the ravine.

OT: I bet that in the near future, you will need ASA approval for felony drug cases.

Sally Daly, a spokeswoman for the Cook County state's attorney's office, said about 75 percent of the cases that come into preliminary courts in Chicago are narcotics cases. Police bring felony narcotics charges to court without prior approval from prosecutors -- unlike other types of felonies, Daly said. In drug cases, the state's attorney's office "can only charge what police bring us," she said.

When prosecutors review other types of felony cases such as murder and robbery, they approve charges in about 85 percent of them, Daly said.

A police spokesman said the department is reviewing the study and would not comment further. Over the last decade, the department has made a push to net drug dealers in conspiracy cases, which carry serious felony charges. That may explain part of the reason for the large percentage of felony drug charges, police sources say.

One day the first Superintendant with no police experience was reading the story of Chicken Little at outside roll call.

He came to the part of the story where Chicken Little tried to warn the farmer.

he read, ".... and so Chicken Little went up to the farmer and said, 'The sky is falling, the sky is falling!' ".

J-Fled paused then asked the Officers, "And what do you think that farmer said?".

Oh, hahahahahahaha! I have never been to THAT blog site before, but I had to check it out, after reading this post.

Here is one example of what I found:
"Superintendent, Any chance we could get the general orders on the PDT? It would really help in the field, when a question arises we could look up the correct answer. Posted on March 17, 2010 at 08:33 PM CDT #
Superintendent's Response
"We are in the process of a comprehensive review of all of our orders. This will be completed in September. I will ensure those addressing the PDT are updated and included. JW"

OBVIOUSLY, whoever responded here has no clue what a PDT is, or they would have understood the question is 'Can you ensure the General Orders are installed into our PDTs'. (You know, so they can actually be accessed in the field, while doing field work, or just as a refresher for someone in the field who wants to better themselves.)

Instead, the answer says "Yup, I'll make sure General Orders pertaining to PDTs are included when we reissue the General Orders in September." Totally missing the obvious point, which I guess is not so obvious when the respondent has never, ever worked a beat car.

Dolts.

All readers of this blog know that the chief's leadership skills are suspect. Maybe that how his office decided to respond to this request. J-Fled's staff probably lacks the maturity to have those skills too. This could even be some payback that backfired. Expect a new response to be written.

I don't think there are staff assigned to this gym. I can see having one locker assigned to you in your district or unit. Having another one in a "company gym" where you don't pay for the privilege is too much, selfish.

Maybe Internal Affairs need to look at those lockers. Who knows what contraband is kept in them. Guess what, there is no expectation of privacy in even your assigned CPD locker. They can be opened by IA anytime.

I have alway thought that good cops have a little bit of larceny in them. Bolt cutters are cheap.

Do the right thing my fellow officers.

That has nothing to do with Chief Brown. Why did they even put him in it. Jim O'grady is our Commander. Chief Brown needs to go to the gym, but as far as I have seen, he doesn't even visit Homan Square. That was just another one of Jfled's stupid flunkys talking and treating people like all of "his" people do, with a lot of arrogance and BS responses.

it's about time captains are reassigned from districts 12,13,16,17,20 , 21 and 23 to working districts that need the knowledge of the meritorious captains

some districts have no lock ups , nine beat cars and more police working inside than on the street

captains should be eliminated , field lt eliminated and let lts run watches and units

Mr Superintendent , don't you think a lt could run vice control , mlas , traffic , detective division . Do you really need a commander ?

OT Detective JK found guilty yesterday of theft of service and agg assault in a bench trial. This is a very unfortunate situation that resulted from a guy who probably had a drinking problem. If you have a problem, get help. This guys career is over because of an alcoholic incident. Don't let this happen to you.

as you post at 342 in the morning! JK was an arrogant dick wad who was rumored to have been laughing about this entire matter at call back just last week! He is a clout bitch that never had to earn shit and this was just one of many incidents with this idiot on and off duty! Fuck him, I hope they throw his ass off the job just like they would to me or anyone else without clout! He is lucky they didnt toss an "armed violence" on him! Justice served!

I hear they are bitching and moaning and trying everything to get out of it. Should be funny to see these captains that don't do shit all day finally have to deal with real police stuff.

Mmmmmm........for the money they make, I'm sure they will be crying all the way to the bank. I do, however, offer my condolences to the captain that gets stuck with the watch you have your sorry ass on.

Ya. I read the article in the Sun-Times on Friday. I really love how they ended it with a quote from the cabbie......."I still didn't get my $8 from him. They should have made him count out 8 singles in court."

Even though it says user ID's will not be tracked, It's a big fat lie, they not only know who's leaving the comment they are compiling a list and using it against you. We ever you apply for a spot they check to see if you're on the naughty list. If you're on the list you get passed over. Don't leave comments that will come back and bite you on the ass.

To a guy (without kids) making $300k+ a year, he just naturally assumes that everyone can afford to pay for a gym. But really, why the hell should we pay for one when there are gyms that are supposed to be available to us. Typical hq nonsense, rather than make an attempt to fix something, they just blow it off with some bs. About every year the notes turn up on the lockers in the districts that say remove your belongings or the lock will be cut off and items inventoried. Its not like the commander does all this personally anyway. How hard would it be to have some house mouse initiate the process over there???? Not hard at all. But instead this shows how little he cares about his people.

And even if the original poster put the wrong guys name on it, it could have been handled much better with a simple correction and a "I will forward your concern to him".

Come on, you left out 019, please oh please take the 3rd watch Captain from 019 and send him to somewhere his talents would be appreciated, say 005.

He is the world's best police supervisor, just ask him. The police department is his whole life, just ask him, he has nothing else.

2nd Watch Captain is on extended medical, I feel she would just retire rather than get jacked around. No captain on 1st watch.

And there you go. But please, someone tell jody to take that 3rd watch captain, please.

J-Fed can feel the love from Daley and knows he will have his contract extended. Then he can really f-with us for not showing him our love. No confidence vote, nonsense, not meaningful at all. Morale survey, not significant, even though a statistically significant random sampling of the department responded. Changing my story three times about fleeing the scene of a shooting I was seconds away from, of course I didn't. And he had the nerve to wear the uniform at funeral of a warrior today.

So I was at the services for Wortham this afternoon and have to say that the sight of CPD as well as suburban coppers is still a sight that gives me the goose bumps. Good job by all.

However, when I was outside waiting on my partner, I saw a female caucasian Sgt holding a bag of those "in loving memory" pins we're all to familiar with. This Sgt looked like she had some years on her as well. So I approached and asked if I could have a pin, and her response was "there are more inside" and continued to pay no attention to me or anyone else looking interested in proudly wearing a pin. This dipshit poor excuse for a Sgt then disapeared rather quickly afterwords. I was speechless that this bitch couldn't pass not a single pin out and was clearly acting as this whole wake thing was some how an inconnvenience to her. She clearly doesn't remember, or perhaps never knew what it's like to be the police. So sad.

Did she have blonde hair?

Why should he kiss your asses? If he did, you'd fault him for it. He can't win with you no matter what he says or does, so why should he try to be diplomatic now? Can't you find something else to bitch about? Like how incompetant, & backstabbing all FBI agents are? (Another re-occuring theme over here)

Wow, the tone of this comment is so similar to the blog response attributed to J-Fled.

Someone sounds cranky. Guess what, you sad little creature, the writing is on the wall. Our city is being destroyed and good people are suffering. The treatment of our officers by the city and their leadership has caused much of this destruction. How dare you be so flip, as to imply they have no good reason to complain.

No wonder you are cranky. Selling yourself out can't make a person truly happy. You will be accountable for your actions one day. Why don't you give up your clouted spot and try very hard to be a good person with integrity, you will be happier for it.

Lying to yourself is the worst form of lying.

You are at a Police Officers wake and this is what you came home with? Someone 'didn't pay attention to me'?

Well, I am paying attention to you now and I, unfortunately, have to be the one to tell you that you are a whining little puke that didn't deserve to be at that ceremony. This attitude really is the disease that is killing this Department (the mayor and superintendent are patient zero on this).

The "hating" on the Captains is indicative of the state of this job. You might think it is funny today, but it is the beginning of breaking any union gains we have made. Could be your rank that is f**ed with tomorrow. There is nothing to say the Dept. cannot re-arrange watch or District perentages. There are some bad captains and there are some good captains, just like every rank on this job. But we should be more concerned with sticking together than gloating over how the Department's blatant arrogance screwed some white-shirts life over.

Every District and Area should have the Best work out facilies for our officers. The new district stations have a decent workout room with new equipment. The Area2/ 5th dist workout room is crap, the equipment is crap, and it's too small. Instead of planting new trees and grass, this should workout room should have been overhauled!

Oh, hahahahahahaha! I have never been to THAT blog site before, but I had to check it out, after reading this post.

Here is one example of what I found:
"Superintendent, Any chance we could get the general orders on the PDT? It would really help in the field, when a question arises we could look up the correct answer. Posted on March 17, 2010 at 08:33 PM CDT #
Superintendent's Response
"We are in the process of a comprehensive review of all of our orders. This will be completed in September. I will ensure those addressing the PDT are updated and included. JW"

OBVIOUSLY, whoever responded here has no clue what a PDT is, or they would have understood the question is 'Can you ensure the General Orders are installed into our PDTs'. (You know, so they can actually be accessed in the field, while doing field work, or just as a refresher for someone in the field who wants to better themselves.)

Instead, the answer says "Yup, I'll make sure General Orders pertaining to PDTs are included when we reissue the General Orders in September." Totally missing the obvious point, which I guess is not so obvious when the respondent has never, ever worked a beat car.

Dolts is right. I have looked up maybe one general order in 15 years. Never been G.O. type of guy. If I have a question I ask someone. Most times I get a very good answer.
