Mette Suspension for Real
The city agency that investigates alleged police misconduct has recommended that a Chicago police officer jailed in Iowa for punching a party host be suspended for 90 days.
In a summary of its decision made public today, the Independent Police Review Authority sustained four of the seven allegations against Officer Michael A. Mette.
So when Chicago’s Independent Police Review Authority late last year recommended an unpaid 90-day suspension for Mette, Weis strongly objected, sources say. That wasn’t the end of the matter, though.
Under the ordinance that created the Independent Police Review Authority, disagreements between the superintendent and the agency over punishment go before a three-member panel of the Chicago Police Board.
The superintendent’s office is expected to argue against suspending Mette. A hearing isn’t scheduled yet, sources said.

SUNK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
is this a ploy by J-fled to endear himself to the troops ???
Mette has suffered enough for NOTHING !
Use the 90 days to find another job far, far away -- and don't come back. F__k this place.
I expected more from you, SCC:
This is just an "assist" for J-Fled...
A reliable source- a asian guy that does pedicures for Masters- claimed he overheard him give the "okay" to IPRA...
Turns out that he wants 4 coats of pink polish AND it's a setup to build morale.....
Sun-times to run: "Top Cop 'saves' Mette"
How can a CORRUPT Police Board judge anyone???
There are no words. Really.
No words for this abuse of the system.
When's the benefit? Forget the benefit; it wastes money on food and beer. Where do I send the check?
Mette made some mistakes in that Iowa incident, but nothing to justify this stupidity.
He was punished enough. Let me rephrase that, he was punished way too much. He never should have been criminally charged and the Iowa appellate court agreed.
Let it go and let him go on with what I hope will be a decent career and long life.
IPRA: "Ah, fuck'em, it's not like morale can go any lower."
Yawn. I m working hard for this department. Mike keep your head up
To the Independant Review Authority: Did your mothers never tell you to pick your battles? By punishing an unjustly imprisoned and seriously abused (medically) officer, you lessen your credibility by your own hand.
Apparently,No matter what jurisdiction the off-duty incident occurs The Shitty will still get their pound of flesh? Unreal...
Check out this lawsuit
USA vs Cook County Jail, Dart, Stroger, et al.
http://207.41.16.133/rfcViewFile/10cv2946.pdf
Its a long read, but E. Holder and P. Fitzgerald have no problem signing their names to this suit on behalf of the shitheads in CC Jail. The inmates are running the asylum.
I like this job but with only three years on I am starting to think I need to look elsewhere since I have no faith in my pension being there when I retire and I feel like the tiniest mistake here can ruin my career and/or land me in prison. And I don't have it in me to just lay down and not work. But I'm not sure what else I can do that will pay this well. If anyone has ideas I would love to hear them. The longer I work on CPD, the more I feel like the ship is sinking and my future is uncertain.
How low can this department go? They want to give him 90 days yet Blinkie got absolutely nothing for dope and guns being stored and sold from one of her condos ?
Don't you think this poor guy has been through enough already?
JFled and Shortshanks need to straighten this shit out pronto. They both claimed to have had Mette's back when it seemed to benefit them.
Twenty and out is looking better and better every day.
Ohhhhh, the police board. They'll take care of this matter. Nothing to worry about.
It makes you want to vomit, all the corruption and inequity.
---not a cop
If J-Fled argues against this suspension, it may be the only thing he's done right in his time here.
There are some guys who I wont buy a fundraiser ticket for because they have broken the law so brazenly that why should I support a criminal. BUT... J Fled should be the guy selling tickets himself for Mette. HE should open a ticket stand at 35th and man that post alone. He has been victimized once already and for the love of God, don't let it happen again
sometimes i wonder if I am doing the right thing day in and day out by doing nothing on this job except answer my calls and assist fellow officers. After seeing this crap, I feel better with my decision to do no proactive policing. I have no clout and will be thrown under the bus in a second for political gain.
I dont even know how to put my discust into words?
Mike, your a gentleman and a true Coppers Cop. I wish the best for you!
what a victim. here's a novel thought: why not try to get your hands on the IPRA file and see what is in it? We do not know the whole story.
Does anybody in charge have any idea what they are doing? Here is a classic example of leaving well enough alone.
I just spoke with Mike and father Bob Mette. All of us agree that it is too premature to comment on this at this time. Mike will be attending the Police Memorial ceremonies in D.C. tomorrow. He has not been served with any notice at this time.
Could it be kabuki theatre? What better way to win hearts and minds than fight a ridiculous suspension that will be publicized and save the popular officer from the evil PB?
If not, then cats are loving dogs, and J-Fed is actually doing the right thing!!
We've got your back warriors. LOL
Yep my morale is up and everything is legit. I'll have my kool aid on the rocks please.
Weis won't agree to it, bank on it, he is also out in DC with the CPD contingent; Mette got piped plain and simple and it should be over, especially after 11 months in prison, but IPRA will still try to hit him with conduct unbecomming, bringing discredit and intoxication, 90 days is crazy, I could see them giving him 5 or 10 and letting him grieve it and get it back, 90 is crazy tho..
to 5:14: Come out to the burbs! Decent equipment, decent pay and once in awhile kids wave at you with all 5 fingers!
30 days is the normal whack for being intoxicated and that is questionable here because he wasn't administered a breathalizer test.... how the hell do they come up with 90 days !!!!... we all know that the department is taking a hard line stance on copper's drinking but this is insane, the guy has suffered enough.....
up is down.down is up. lady justice isnt blindfolded here... she s bent over. cant wait to retire. i used to love this job. great,funny stories everyday when you came into work. now, im on a countdown to get to my days off,furloughs and retirement. morale has been on a downward spiral for more than a decade...and it just keeps getting worse. two levels of discipline adds another nail to the morale coffin.
I like this job but with only three years on I am starting to think I need to look elsewhere since I have no faith in my pension being there when I retire and I feel like the tiniest mistake here can ruin my career and/or land me in prison. And I don't have it in me to just lay down and not work. But I'm not sure what else I can do that will pay this well. If anyone has ideas I would love to hear them.

Henderson, Nevada. Loads of cheap 'bubble' homes right now, they love their police and pay well, just outside of Vegas. Much safer, saner place to work.
Ask any revolver police. We'll put you in touch with a few retiree contacts out in the Vegas area who can help you out.
It's time for informational picketing!

hey, seems jfed actually woke up and is doing the right thing! he better stand behind mette. the police board should leave mette alone, he is a hard working cop that i would work beside any day of the week. he's a cop's cop! the REAL DEAL!
007 blueshirt
Come on,are you really surprised? The Exempts and the City will screw over the non-clouted in half a heartbeat..I have known people on this job who have gotten Dept Commendations along with an 2-3 days suspension from the same arrest,because shithead beefed and made false allegations..You are damned if ya do the job and damned if ya dont...
We brought this upon ourselves,when a P/O gets wronged by a supervisor we depend on FOP which do nothing to clear us. If we get cleared we are happy,we dont get CR#s on bosses or file lawsuits for the most part we dont wanty to be bothered. Only a few do take action but thats if they take a major hit. I can ever remember ever wanting a boss on one of my arrests to help me look good,we make THEM LOOK GOOD.Remember they need us we dont need them. We need to start uniting not this piss ant comments on a blog,no disrespect to SCC.
All along bloggers were blaming all citizens of Iowa when all along it was a couple of kinks on the police dept who apparently were also on the payroll of old man Goddard.
Let's not blame Iowa again, let't put the blame where it belongs all along, the IPRA who was most likely behind this Iowa-Chicago investigation and pushing it all along. It is easy to realize that the left-wing communist on this Board hate the police and will try to fuck them up at each and every turn.
Who appointed these communist rat-fucks anyway and what are their names? Let us all do a little research on them and expose the truth.
I still wouldn't trust J-Fed. What comes out of his mouth to the public may be completely different from what he says behind closed doors with his pals who he's in bed with. WAKE UP DREAMERS! The guy is 100% B.S.
If this is Mette's punishment for his mistakes. What in the world is IRPAs punishment?
That just really lifts my morale, yes sir. I'll be busting ass real soon. Jody has my back. Yup.
IPRA is an empowered animal. the investigations they run are not paralleled by IAD. they recommend and the CPD either concurs or argues the penaly.
I assure you that the CPD as a whole was blindsided by this and intends to argue the entire finding and suspension. Mette will take -0- time.
IPRA needs to take a ride up and down 3-4-5-6-7-11-15-and 25 before even being handed any case to investigate.
The only thing corrupted in IPRA are the minds of these investigators thinking that they know what Policing is.
This is a blatting attack againt the law enforcement community. This goes to show you how much people respect us and value our lives or service to the city. Make no mistake about it, this was ipra's chance to stick it in a cops ass. This was someone who wishes to seek revenge against the police. Absolutely no common sense was put into this decision! I am sure sometime during your career you heard a veteran cop say " the pendulum always swings back around from bad to good." Well I think the pendulum is broken because it's been stuck so far in the bad that it's upside down( stuck on stupid) and I don't ever forsee it returning to good. 16 down 4 more to go!
Nothing but a pawn for J-fled's political game of chess. checkmate, Lad.
Can't wait til I retire.. This state and City suck!!!!!
Just like the fop.they say their on ur side.but when its comes down to it they will duck you.just ask the guys on the bis program.right cooter.screw the fop and weis.
Your doing your job if you simply answer your jobs and back up other cops. Your a suck hole if you collect taxes. Thats all.

I'm going to go out on a limb here,say Mike did break a few department rules and regulations in this incident.11 months in some stinking prison is not enough punishment?Every aspect of this department is run by moron political hacks.
The beatings will continue until morale improves!
I learned late in life that sometimes...
No matter how hard you try.
No matter how hard you work.
No matter how clean you stay.
The planets just won't line up, and you're 'gonna take it in the ass. And No, they won't spit on it first, and there will be no reach around.
When that happens, it's time to devise a graceful exit strategy.
Hey, Mr. Mette:
Get the fuck out of Dodge. Get out of this POS city and get a job in a decent suburb. At some point it's not worth the struggle.
Don't listen to those who tell you to "Not Give Up". They mean well, but there's no longer any sense of honor amongst these phony "leaders" like Weis/Daley.
There's no shame with walking away, and rebooting your professional life elsewhere. You've been a punching bag long enough.
I say we all take 90 days also. How is June, July and August for you?
Metra says chief improperly took $475,000
***********************************Here we go, more suicides' coming "WINK WINK" ! And by the way we didnt think he threw himself in front of that locomotive for 50 GRAND. He had a lot of help!
Anyone who really looks at this thing knows Mette did at least two things wrong: 1. He wasn't up front with the police when they arrived as to how jagoff wound up punched, 2. By a preponderance of the evidence he was drunk, therefore a rule 14.
After doing 11 months in PRISON though, the finding should be,
SUSTAINED: Violation noted, no disciplinary action taken.
He did his time in hell for this bullshit, that's enough. Whoever in IPRA signed off on this shit needs their head examined, that is for real.
You could start by spelling them
Im sorry I spelled disgust wrong.
At least I put my name on what I write. You have nothing better to do but troll this site huh KB? Get a life and retire already.
If Mike Mette's fate lies in the blatant corrupt Police Board he is doomed.
The Police Board can not be relied upon to be impartial, fair and objective. If J-Fed and Daley tell them to find for him he will be fine.
If Mike takes one day, Daley made it so.
Let's hope the review board does the right thing. Officer Mette has suffered enough.

*************
This commentator is pretty accurate. Do you remember about 2 yrs ago when OPS/IPRA hired private lawyers to do investigations so they could catch up on their backlog of outstanding cases? Well, the backlog is gone, and a lot of law firms have laid off lawyers. The IPRA hired lawyers are pushing cases by adding on ridiculous charges, necessitating re-investigations or needing more time to complete.
The Dept and IPRA are fighting over a lot of cases due to these lawyers trying to make money by this method. Incredibly shoddy investigations, charges which make no sense or lack a factual basis to even be included on a list of allegations, and outright cases of exceeding authority are now a regular thing. My source tells me there is no end in sight unless city council puts a clamp on IPRA's authority, which they are not inclined to do.
I may not post as much as in the past, but when I have good info, I will pass it on.
After pleading guilty in January, O.T. Wilson Award winner Sean Ryan gets sentenced Tuesday for selling a stolen assult rifle to a coke head felon he "met at the gym." Never did say where he got said stolen weapon that could have been used against one of his brothers in blue.
Of course it took 2 tries for him to get permanently booted from the CPD. Did IPRA ever go after him?
Right hand meet the Left hand............and stop the bull sh&%
If Superintendent Jody Weis can NOT over rule the IPRA and the Police Board he is a LAME DUCK!
How can the CORRUPT Police Board even be considered viable after Victor Brown???
FUCKING POLITICIANS. FUCKING MEDIA. FUCKING IPRA. I swear to the Almighty, I come across any of the above who are not legit or broke the smallest law, no passes.
Political appointments, i.e, Police Board, head of IPRA, has to use Mette to flex their muscles and punish Mette to respond to bad press.
The media pisses and moans and everybody has to respond, or else feel the wrath of the media.
I am to the point that there is no difference between the media and political hacks, except the media irresponsibly hides behind the 1st amendment. Yes, hides behind the 1st amendment when they print their crap. And now the Police board is afraid of their own shadows.
IF BOTH ENTITIES DID THEIR JOB AS JUSTLY AND CORRECTLY AS POSSIBLE THESE OVER-REACTION WOULD BE ELIMINATED.
Un-fucking believable.
What a bunch of assholes!
Mike, good luck to you.
By the way, I will bet any money that the media will negatively pounce on this, except, maybe for John Kass. John, you know the story. Mike does not deserve this, nor is it warranted.
I firmly believe that J-Fed just followed orders when he made the call to hang Bill Cozzi.
Being an FBI Agent and having no clue about major metropolitan policing made it all look legitimate to a desk jockey. There is NO substitute for being the "real deal" in a major urban city ( NYC, Chicago, LA, Philadelphia, Detroit, Houston, Cleveland, Oakland, DC, Baltimore, Atlanta)
I believe the Real culpability lies with Mayor Daley.
FREE COZZI!
If we don't let our disgust with the two-tier system of discipline be felt Mike Mette will just be another statistic.
It is time to end the system of corruption and clout that govern promotion and discipline on the CPD!
The final arbiter of everything in Chicago is Mayor Richard M. Daley, the "Micromanager", who insulates himself with two layers of fall guys.
Nothing happens in Chicago without Daley's nod, NOTHING!
DUMP DALEY!
11 months in a hell hole means zilch. The physical and mental stress, the sleepless nights and the public humiliation at the hands of government corruption mean nothing!
I am powerful and you are NOT, take 90 days!
Mayor Richard M. Daley
We smell a rat...
Or is that a weasel??
A "grandstanding" opportunity for j-fled to make a bunch of righteous sounding noise regarding this travesty so he can beat his man-breasts and say "I went to bat for ONE of you guys! So how about a little help to keep this from being The Summer of Dude?"
Now they need help from the blueshirts to put shit back in the asshole?
Aggressive, "bounty hunter" style Policing in Chicago again?
Nope... We value our collective hides too much seeing as how it's the Police who have a price on their heads and not the shitheads, gangbangers, crooked clergy and corrupt politicians.
It's all about "fuck the Police" now so discretion and common sense dictates officer safety first and foremost in addition prompt response whenever possible, thorough preliminary investigation
and accurate reporting.
Whoever is pushing this fuckery in furtherance is no better than the mouth-breathers who teach their spawn to glare and spit as the Police drive by.
It's the same utter contempt, disregard and dishonor to those who try to serve in the face of adversity. Even more galling when it is at the hands of those who serve the most dishonorable creature of the modern era, The Crime King of America, the cloven-hoofed imp himself, shortshanks.
We do wonder whose fire is burning hotter in Hell... Shortshanks, j-fleds or any and all of the affiliates of Daley Inc.
This ongoing miscarriage of justice against Ofc. Mette is a shame worth crying over.
Christ Almighty, the man almost died in prison at the hand of those politically motivated hacks in Iowa let alone falsely arrested, convicted and sentenced.
When will the campaign of "Police Are The Enemy" end?
Go get 'em hard chargers!
j-fled, mistress and duggie have your back!
Oh yeah!
What's up with that Morale Survey that represents such a numerically "insignificant" number of department members?
Why won't you release it mr. fbi "we live & die by numbers" guy?
Release it, dispute it and cook up some numbers to invalidate it.
FOOL!
You have an overactive hand in being the cause of us losing control of the streets. All of the home-made, bullshit, alphabet soup of special units you and your henchmen spray from your asses won't do shit to save you since you FASTIDIOUSLY avoid doing what is right. Not that you have it in you in the first place.
what are the credentials of these investigators?
Who in IPRA was indebted to Goddard? How about this and we have all heard it TCSAS. Time considered served actually served.

ROTFLMMFFAO...
With the stature of the Mike Mette case on the CPD Mike will not take a day for this nonsense.
They will utilize Mike Mette as a false propaganda balloon to raise nonexistent morale on the job.
If this is an attempt for morale than it's going to back fire.
If it's legit than god help is all. And if this is not a call to action for us ALL than I don't know what is.
Find out who is on the Police Board and send it to Glen Beck. I'll bet there is an Obama connection somewhere. Love to see that connection on the blackboard.
SCC This city sucks, I left the CPD briefly begged them to go back and they say fu. Im trained ready to go and have not been gone that long and have been begging to go back. they dont care about him or anything
What can Mette do if this travesty actually happens? Can he sue IPRA for defamation or lack of proof needed to recommend a suspension like this? Would he have to hire his own lawyer?
I'm sick of hearing about guys getting screwed. Are we completely defenseless?
So Mike Mette should have to leave an honorable position doing his job in an honorable way????
Why, because Chicago is dishonorable and CORRUPT???
Give me a fucking break!
Keep railroading honorable coppers and watch this city turn into a shithole like Detroit overnight.
Mike Mette is a good guy, a working copper who does the job.
If anything Mette is probably the most vigilant copper in the world against sandbagging...
The LIBERALS should rejoice with a copper like Mette on the job.
I just hope all unjustly fired coppers receive the same level of justice afforded Mike Mette.
I hope Mike Mette speaks up against the injustices of the two-tier system of justice on the CPD.
Mike Mette is in an unusual position of public admiration that some police officers have not been accorded and can bring light upon a corrupt system that has buried some very good and innocent coppers.
Mike Mette will WIN and should assist his sisters and brothers in obtaining justice.
Any INJUSTICE done to one is done to all!
Mike, don't forget those who fought vigilantly at your side and behind the scenes.
I expect Mike Mette to become a spokesperson for the officers that have been railroaded by a corrupt system of justice.
We fought tooth and nail for you brother, please don't forget us!
Some coppers forget to realize that this could be you tomorrow or your partner!
This is AS important as remembering those LOD's.
NEVER FORGET!
May is Police Memorial month, we remember our dead. Please remeber and reach out to those who were UNJUSTLY terminated from the job or who are stripped in a non-police status.
It could be you or me tomorrow in the box or at ARPS
FREE COZZI!

'Mike Mette is in an unusual position of public admiration that some police officers have not been accorded and can bring light upon a corrupt system that has buried some very good and innocent coppers.'
DON'T look for Mette to bring light into anything. He feels he owes J-Fled and RayRay, and when RayRay recruited him to join the MSF shortly after Mette was rehired by CPD, he jumped at it.
Mette feels that those two were the 'hands' that fed him, and he won't nibble at their stinky little fingers.
This really, really sucks!
I'm serious when I say couldn't he just get credit for the time served that he spent in an Iowa jail?
These m-f'ers never quit!
"..You are damned if ya do the job and damned if ya dont..."
Yes, but you're "less damned" if you don't do the job; once you take action, you stand a far greater chance of getting in more trouble than if you do nothing.
Sad, but true. Welcome to CPD of the 21st Century!
Can someone answer this please?
Doesn't IAD investigate law violations?
Why is IPRA involved here?
this department is so fucked up! How has a job that I once loved become so horrible?
when do we march again?! where is the f.o.p.? so very sad.

Is that the best you tolls from the mayor's office can come up with? You really impressed us with your wit and vast command of the English language as you laid into an officer for a typo. Oh, and before I forget, stay the fuck off of our web site you fucking political hack.
Keep fucking real working coppers, BC, MM, JK, JM, KM, LS, etc...
Watch what happens to your beloved servant department.
DUMP DALEY!
Daley is responsible for all of Chicago's CORRUPTION!!!
DUMP DALEY!!!
Nothing happens in Chicago without the tacit approval of Mayor Richard M. Daley.
Nothing happens, without Daley's approval, NOTHING!
Hopefully Mike will win big with his suit against the Iowa Justice system and then he wont need this job any more. Its a shame that a good copper with a strong family police background may leave this department because of Bull Shit! Mike when you win big maybe send a few bucks for a Cozzi appeal. He does not belong in jail either!!!!!! Bills punishment does not fit the crime by a reasonable mans or womans standard!!!
If Mike takes a suspension for 90 days we should all do nothing for those 90 days. Show your support for your fellow brother who was wronged not once but twice and who knows how many more times he will be wronged by our dept. in the future. Most of us talk a big game but here and now we should stand up for one of our own.
What are the credentials of these investigators?
Used to be lots of political hacks and lawyers. Now you got some ex cops, lawyers, and even a retired CPD commander and an area detective sergeant as IPRA investigators.
Don't underestimate them, some of them are decent, and some of them are good at their jobs!
take the 90 days and get on with your life. We'll have a benefit for you.

I had the same urge when I had 2.5 years on, I really saw tis place for what it was and had the strong urge to leave. That was over 22 years ago. I never left. I had some good years with a great partner. The rest has been mostly frustration and dealing with political department bullshit. Now I can leave in 3 more. I can coast these last three years. It is so sad how they fucked this job all to hell. Get something going first, then quit.
one word: pathetic
Daley should get 90 years!
If he gets 90, I say we blue flu for 90 in support. Fuck this city, it will be getting the police force it wanted...finally.
Just un-fucking believable.
Fuck it. Fuck it. Fuck it.
Give these citizens what they deserve when their children are attacked. A worthless piece of paper with an RD number.
Thanks to all of those in IPRA.
" take the 90 days and get on with your life. we'll have a benefit for you." AMEN TO THAT---- and the significant amount of money which will be left over can be donated to a charity of mike's choosing....
To whoever was asking why IPRA is involved in Mike's beef...any and all complaints of excessive force go to IPRA to be investigated. IAD does not do excessive force complaints even if there is a criminal investigation to go with it. Hope this helps. Look up the ordinance defining IPRA's investigative duties. This however doesn't state that the investigation has to be fair, complete, or unbiased. For everyone out there, have faith. I know of one person that is preparing to file a very large lawsuit against the city/IPRA for not investigating a complaint and submitting it for discipline while ignoring evidence to the contrary. Hopefully there will be a big payday involved.

Think twice about the move. Where will you go? Most departments stopped hiring or are laying off officers. We are lucky to be working. At least you can take your time as you look. But things are not that bad here despite the complaints. Pay is good and great benefits.

Things are for shit here....Pay is OK, average. Benefits are ok but we will let FlOP give them away too! Who gave you the cushy spot?
I am sick to death about the abuse of this kid! As a citizen I just wish people would leave our defenders alone. God bless Mike and all other officers that put their life on the line every day so we the citizens can go about our lifes with comfort and safety!!!
Not a cop
This is what the Chicago voters wanted. They wanted Daley and they are going to keep Daley because no one electable will run against him. So, this is the police department the citizens of Chicago wanted with a Mayor who wants the Hague to determine Chicago gun laws. Yup, its about the voters guys. Good luck with that.
If this actually happens we must ban together for some type of job action to insure this kind of shit does not happen again.
I'm sorry to hear that Mette must endure further bullshit.
This is an easy one to remedy. Just drop some cash on the Police Board!
How is this a surprise
" take the 90 days and get on with your life. we'll have a benefit for you." AMEN TO THAT----
His west side girlfriend can show up to.
Ironically, Mike would be better off going back to Iowa where at least they admitted they were wrong.
