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:
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.

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.

Who is this "KB" in the policy group that we hear of often? Is she a boss of some type?
What an ass!
Looks like JK blew the job

What an unbelievably flippant and cavalier approach to a seemingly valid and appropriate question. "Here's an idea?" Does Mr. Weis write these callous responses or perhaps a sycophant charge under his tutelage?
Really, I couldn't read that blog beyond a few comments in the Q & A section. I was just getting angry.
Enough said.
OT:
So word is some captains from the north side are being sent out, detailed, whatever you want to call it, to the south side.
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.
These were the same bosses laughing and making fun of the "low guy" in seniority that got stuck going to that summer TRU shit. Carma sure is great ain't it.
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...
Really?!? So, the only legit source of information about the police department (per the superintendent, said to the media when a reporter addressed an issue posted on SCC) is rude and demeaning to the officers it pretends to court?
I am shocked, I say. Shocked.
J-FED doesn't even care any more...
:(
Yeah-How about the shit that's plastered in the CO Book from Commander So and So that states "If you are not assigned to District XXX and you have a lock on a locker-it will be cut on- - 2010".
What Bull-Shit from the puzzle palace.
Give Coppers who want to work out the opportunity to do so.
C'mon ernie. Get some of your inside bitches to do some work.
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.
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)
Don't gripe about the policy Group,they got more important things to run like the WTA. Shut your traps & buy some tix to their benefit.According to their flyer they're in dire need for manicures.
OT: 2nd watch Captain eliminated starting 7th period. They got the word today.
If anyone knows the names of the people who are on the Policy Group;name them on SCC..Then we can generate an GOCR for Police Impersonation..Buncha brown-nosing asslickers...
I am thinking its not J-Fled that wrote that its one of the "think tank" three year wonders assigned to monitor that shit and THEY fucked up and THEY might "GET DUMPED" for F'ing up that 501 Blog...LOL!!!!!
As the Headquarters turns...
Like sands throught the hour glass these our the DAYS OF OUR LIVES!!
Man are we SOFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hes a pompous assh*le.. I read that blog just to see the nonsense people try to write on there with the bright ideas they have and the ass kissing that goes on. some people put some pretty good questions and concerns and put it right on j fed...which usually go unanswered...however, the majority usually start off with, dear supt...Just let me commend you on your blah blah blah blah.... alot of ass kissing going on and sounds like alot of staged questions.. many of j feds answers are, "i will let the bas know about this" or I will ask so and so... I will look into this and get back to you... I will ask dugan..I will ask peterson...IM not sure about it and will get back to you yada yada yada... How about he answers considering he should know this department front and back... HE is the BOSS... HE should know every single rule, regulation and policy that has to do with this department... WHY DOES HE NOT KNOW THE ANSWERS?????? He is supposed to know everything... He is supposed to snap his fingers and things get done... He is NOT supposed to ask dugan or ask peterson or ask aunt bea.. THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO ASK HIM!!!! he is the fuck*ng boss! its pathetic how clueless this guy is and how stupid he makes him self look by his "play dumb" attitude and his poor attempt to answer questions by saying we will get back to you... answer the fu*king question sup... if you dont think you have to answer to us lowly p.os then dont have a question and answer blog... since you have it, you should answer us with difinitive answers not cop outs passing the buck to lower people... your the boss.....act like it you joke... wow... now that was a rant.
That response was very unprofessional. I'd bet if I was caught saying something like that to a citizen I'd be stripped and sent to callback.
Free Cozzi!
I read through a few of JW's responses. Obviously spelling is not a major concern of those typing up the responses.
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.
I work at homan, and if your a male, well there are several unused lockers I walk past quite often. Just nab one!
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.
I'm so glad those folks at J-Fled's blog are so helpful. I bet they wonder why the coppers are so negative about things.
Off topic, sorry. I stopped by the gentlemans house on the 600 block of N. Sawyer (shot the burglar while protecting his family), very nice gentleman. It's ashame that a Korean War Vet doesn't get recognized as a hero until a burglar (who broke into his FINAL house) is....deanimated in the victims house. The gentleman said that he hasn't seen so many nice police officers driving slowly by with a thumbs up and a friendly wave in years. This man did exactly what he had to do to protect his family. He's quiet, humble, and carries a BIG stick. God Bless him!!
Just for that ignorant comment, I am going to finish this box of donuts, and lay down until I no longer feel like working out. When I wake up from my nap. I'm going to go to a Chinese buffet, and eat my heart out. I was going to join a private gym, but after that I dont care if I am fat. I still get paid no matter ho large I am. If I ever get to fat to go to work, then I will go on the medical roll until I am cured of this affliction. Sadly this all could have been avoided...Way to lead J-Fled!!!
Ps. Something about being you not being responsible for morale problems? Yeah, it's you baby!!!
I am going to get so enormously fat that they will take me on the TV show the biggest loser! When I take my shirt off, my CPD tattoo will show!
I will constantly remind the audience of my status as a CPD officer, and speak of morale problems when they interview me. I will tell them that I eat out of frustration, and to alleveiate stress. All caused by CPD management.
No more light beer. I'm only drinking the good stuff from now on.
Go Fuck Yourself J-Fled ! You are a mellonheaded, arrogant girly man. Grow some cojones ! And learn to address the REAL POLICE With some RESPECT!! You phony PRETENDER !!!!!
hahaha. just as funny as daley and weiss saying the suburbanites were causing the problems at the beach. yeah right.
So who's going to march with the boss downtown in Saturday's parade???? LMAO
Speaking of Blackberies, heard something about grievance/lawsuit, Blackberies,and on-call pay for off duty supervisors.
SCC--you (guys if plural?) outdid yourselves this time. Just wanted to give you a pat on the back for today's posts, that have me more amused than usual...even when I shouldn't be.
I saw it a couple of days ago, I couldn't believe the response either. Imagine there is a 3 year wonder in the Policy Group answering questions like that, guess they never really worked the street and don't have a clue.
Who in that policy group is stupid enough to answer a question like that and sign the supt.'s name?
Wasn't there an issue of "neighborhood youths" being allowed to use the gym at the Academy a while back? But our officers are told to use a private gym---even though tax money obviously funds these for the police?
Just another shameless manifestation of "da Chicago Way".
It didn't fly with the good folks in Buckeye, Arizona--and J-Fled has no control over "Downtown Ernie" Brown. Like shit, hubris rolls downhill. Obviously the Stuttering Prick signs off on much greater outrageous CPD "policy" matters. At all levels, Chicago "politics" is the laughingstock of the nation.
Make no mistake on "morale" metaphors to the Titanic. We don't have a sinking ship here. It's already resting at the bottom of the Mariana Trench at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, the deepest location on planet Earth.
Never say that CPD morale is just "poor". It's NONEXISTENT! Same thing goes for our intepid leader, originally nicknamed "J-Fed". Now and forever he's J-FLED the coward.
Come over to 016 and use the small gym.It's a fun place to workout. And a challenge.Every so often the equipment gets moved around,even the heavy stuff. Weights are stolen. Speed bag has to be replaced every couple months due to mysterious holes punched into it.The fridge is unplugged weekly etc.,etc.,etc.
WHAT FUN.
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.
THE SCREW UP AT 35TH R AS PREVALENT AS THE BUILDING IS LOPSIDED.
JUST REMEMBER WHEN THEY ASK 4 BUS CHECKS AND PARKERS TELL THEM U HAVE MORE IMPORTANT PRIORITIES LIKE RAPES AND MURDERS.
DONT WORRY SINCE NO PROMOTIONS R FOURTH COMING ARE LITTLE BAND OF MERRY HAIRGELS KNOW AS THE POLICY GROUP WILL LAND BACK IN A DISTRICT.
AND THEY WILL HAVE A LOCKER NEXTS TO URS.
HELL SEND THEM MESSAGES ALL DAY THEY HAVE TO READ THEM. LET THEM KNOW ABOUT DEFECTS IN THE BUILDING AND IF THEY DONT REACT IT WILL BE INATTENTION TO DUTY!
Same with the female locker room,,NO lockers available. Last time I checked most private gyms will run you at least 50 dollars a month and that is on the cheap end..JFed doesnt care-he is just talking out of his a$$...AGAIN
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.
funny how it's all in the syntax w J-Fled.
Off the seventh tee,Shortshanks sliced his shot deep into a wooded ravine. He took his eight iron and clambered down the embankment in search of his lost ball.
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.
"Bring me my wedge," Shortshanks shouted. "You can't get out of here with an eight iron!"
Administration reveals it's true nature.
Very sad.
---not a cop
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?".
One Veteran Officer raised his hand and said, "I think he said: "Holy Shit! A talking chicken!".
When I first read the response I thought SCC was kidding. Now that I know you are not, I am shocked by that flip and insulting response by the supt of police. Obviously, many of the people assigned to Homen are using the gym lockers to store their gym clothing. Not fair. Should be emptied out each night to give everyone a chance. I am more and more disgusted with how police officers are treated in this town. I do no have the link that you are talking about as I am retired. No wonder morale is so down and the shame about this, it seems no one cares. Too bad you cannot stage a job action.
simple solution to assist overworked EB...
compound bolt cutters.
post a sign on locker announcing lock removal, after appropriate time cut lock, place contents into plastic bag and inventory under locker #.
That's how district and area bosses treat po's.
or
just pitch the ignorant bastards crap !
for the want of a nail the horse was lost
bye bye cpd
I do no have the link that you are talking about as I am retired.
======
Do you remember the old Pax 501?
Just google search "Blog 501" and you can have all sorts of access to the nonsense inflicted on the CPD by J-Fled.
Oh yeah, I could really afford a fukn private gym with the bullshit 2% raise that we still haven't gotten. U piece of shit!
I have furlough coming up and I plan on bulking up my biceps by doing 12 oz. curls. I'll be buff when I get back.

That SGT. sounds like the merit Sgt. LC from an very influential community in 023. She hasn't done a damm thing on the job, gets merit and now thinks she so important. Typical.
a little birdie tells me that at least two people still have locks on a locker there over two years. The powers should have a Sgt and a witness cut all locks and put any contents in evidence bag. Discard any dirty clothing as a bio hazard. Put ad in bulletin come get it in xxdays.....yada,yada,etc.
Parking meter Co. to run all lockers.

Settle down Jody... A professional response is all that is really needed, especially considering that it is COMING FROM HQ. I'd drop paper for conduct unbecoming... It is expected of us, after all. Would you like US to give answers such as that to the public while we are on calls? Then why do we deserve any less?
It's like the Sunday we lost power at Homan Square a few years ago. No emergncy lighting (violation of City Code) and when the 1st Deputy's Office was notified their response was "So What". There was no ADS on the street either.
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.

EB is a reverend and alderman crony and put there by city hall. Hillard sponsored EB and WG through all of their merit promotions. Disgusting liars.
Just for that,I'm going to challenge the Superintendant to a belly fight.
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.
5/28/2010 03:42:00 AM
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.
KB a boss? Maybe some day, but not yet. She's a blonde tootsie with little time on the streets that sits inside & hangs with Sgt. Ray Ray

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."
What an asshole.
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.
--Who cares if they know who you are you pansy suck ass. Ewww don't do it... you might not get to a "spot". You are the kind of person that fucked up this job for backing down and not saying shit that needs to be said. Ball-less!
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.
I have furlough coming up and I plan on bulking up my biceps by doing 12 oz. curls. I'll be buff when I get back.
And so will I. However, I have been in training and am currently at the 40 oz. level.
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. Hubris, thy name is J-Fled.

hes a pompous assh*le.. I read that blog just to see the nonsense people try to write on there with the bright ideas they have and the ass kissing that goes on. some people put some pretty good questions and concerns and put it right on j fed...which usually go unanswered...however, the majority usually start off with, dear supt...Just let me commend you on your blah blah blah blah.... alot of ass kissing going on and sounds like alot of staged questions.. many of j feds answers are, "i will let the bas know about this" or I will ask so and so... I will look into this and get back to you... I will ask dugan..I will ask peterson...IM not sure about it and will get back to you yada yada yada... How about he answers considering he should know this department front and back... HE is the BOSS... HE should know every single rule, regulation and policy that has to do with this department... WHY DOES HE NOT KNOW THE ANSWERS?????? He is supposed to know everything... He is supposed to snap his fingers and things get done... He is NOT supposed to ask dugan or ask peterson or ask aunt bea.. THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO ASK HIM!!!! he is the fuck*ng boss! its pathetic how clueless this guy is and how stupid he makes him self look by his "play dumb" attitude and his poor attempt to answer questions by saying we will get back to you... answer the fu*king question sup... if you dont think you have to answer to us lowly p.os then dont have a question and answer blog... since you have it, you should answer us with difinitive answers not cop outs passing the buck to lower people... your the boss.....act like it you joke... wow... now that was a rant.

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.

I believe that I know the Sgt about whom you speak if its the one Im thinking of, your description is RIGHT ON THE MONEY
Did she have blonde hair?
Give him the NI. Comments like this are automatically guilty. He already has a sustained CR number. Add this nondisciplinary intervention for rude and insulting behavior and shit, he could be i nthe Behavioral Intervention program. Welcome to our world!!!

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.
- a citizen
Cops will bitch regardless but a person who has good leadership skills, genuine interest in people, and exemplifies making good solid decisions - respected.
Looks to me like the captains got screwed.
Oh yea they got screwed all right The Dept started messing with them from day one
Every time the got enough time in grade,to get a summer furlo....
WHAM
the Dept promoted them and it was right back to January or March
i cant believe that they were able to tolerate this harrassmsnt
I hope j-fled reads this blog and sees the discontent. That was one of the most ignorant comments to date from him.
Mr Superintendent , don't you think a lt could run vice control , mlas , traffic , detective division . Do you really need a commander ?
Any numnuts could run vice. Oh wait. There already is. Two of them in fact. HR and OV.
"Who in that policy group is stupid enough to answer a question like that and sign the supt.'s name?"
Maybe not stupid, but desperate to escape and saw no other way to get out.
See who gets launched in the next few weeks....

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).
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."
What an asshole.
5/28/2010 05:00:00 PM
Couldn't let this one pass. By asshole I assume you were talking about the "dick" that disgraced and embarrassed the whole Department by his actions? Don't give me the alcohol is a disease bullshit either. The judge should have made him count out the eight bucks.
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!
Bring back Harold!
I would have responded "Sorry, I don't make 310,000 a year so I can't afford a private gym with my expenses and tuition payments, but thanks for the advise" What an ass
If anyone knows the names of the people who are on the Policy Group;name them on SCC..Then we can generate an GOCR for Police Impersonation..Buncha brown-nosing asslickers...
5/28/2010 02:15:00 AM
The policy group members are:
Karen Bartuch
Bridget Herlhey
Estrada
Army Ranger Bob
Tom Matera
Brett "Open Table" Goldstein - he wears cuffs on his belt like he's going to make an arrest.
Some jagoff said, "You are at a Police Officers wake and this is what you came home with? Someone 'didn't pay attention to me'?"
A real cop said, GFY, Let me tell you again sir, any white shirt on this job is not your friend, buddy or associate. They can spit up their arrogance at a moments notice, and you will be left many times in your carreer with a "what a jagoff" look on your face." Been there done it , and they can all go straight to h e double hockey sticks. bawhahahaha
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
Good one- Your so right from the top down- Whining little punk bitches with no self esteem.
kb is Karen Bartuch
she and bridgit were from class 02 dec 02
That's right. 7 .5 years on the job. She used to work the "Barbie Wagon" in 025 (for about a minute and a half).
She has absolutely no idea how to be the police.
Good luck CPD. Godspeed.
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.

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.
