Ed Burke Reads the Blog
Ed is stealing exact quotes from our comment sections...unless ...unless Ed Burke is the guy leaving the comments! Good God! We're famous!!!
- The City Council’s most powerful alderman urged Mayor Daley on Wednesday to ask off-duty police officers to work their days off to combat gang violence akin to “urban terrorism.”
Ald. Edward M. Burke (14th), chairman of the City Council’s Finance Committee, said Daley’s plan to ease a severe manpower shortage by hiring 100 more officers will take too long and fall far short.
If 100 recruits enter the police academy on Sept. 1, it’ll be 24 weeks before they complete their training and hit the streets, he said.
“If you divide that 100 by 25 districts, you have maybe four officers-per-district. Divide that by three shifts and what have you got?” Burke said.
We'll tell you what you've got Ed - you've got Dick! Dick Daley that is.
And how's that bodyguard detail working out for you Ed? Is it six coppers at the moment or more? Each "earning" sergeant pay for "alleged" threats received how many years ago? Vague undefined threats that no one has ever actually substantiated?
We wonder what would happen if everyone actually said, "No" to this overtime offer. Would the shootings skyrocket? Would the streets run red with blood? Would Shortshanks actually find a fiddle to play?

Great news! CR#'s are down. Too bad battery to p.o. is up and we have no control of the streets.
ahh eddie! Hmm! ohh! how many you got ed? 9 or 10? With the 2 on 3 off schedule, is that better than 4 and 2? at sergeants pay, plus your house is covered and how many new crown vics? How much overtime for your "valets"?!
The only difference between daley and an ex-con is that the ex-con payed his debt to society.
OT:
SCC, I have been thinking about the deaths of my fellow officers a lot lately. As I think about each incident I wonder what could have been done, who is at fault, and why does this happen? As I thought about the questions I realized it's easy to point fingers at the killers, the Mayor, J Fled, but what about each one of us? In the last election how many of us voted? If we did vote, when we went into the booth how much did we know about the judges we voted for? I point the finger at myself for this too.....I didn't know much about the judges. Even your idea of voting not to retain every one really isn't a good one. I'm pretty certain that every one of the POS offenders has an extensive background. We need to start holding these judges accountable for their actions. We need to put it to our FOP to do the homework on these judges and find out which are good and which are as bad as the criminals we lock up. Lets face it shitheads will be shitheads, and we can't count on Dick or J Fled. We can however start spreading the word to our family and friends about these judges that keep letting these assholes out on the street again and again and get them the FU@& OUT!!! It isn't much but we gotta start somewhere. Oh, and lets not forget about the other politicians like Quinn that let a bunch of these assholes out only to later admit that it was a mistake......
Why should we save these idiots at the expense of our families and our health?
Perhaps Ed Burke can comment on this blog why exactly he needs all this protection for himself. But then again, Bob Cooley pretty much explained that, eh Ed? Since your a former Chicago cop, don't you know how to protect your own ass?
How about we dump all you useless Aldermen and utilize the combination of your salaries to hire more officers?
Hey Ed, fuck you
why do you come jon like you were a real policeman. 18 months on a three wheeler writing parking tickets downtown while going to finishing school does not make you a policeman.
By the way Ed, fuck you
HOW MUCH DOES ED'S DETAIL COST A YEAR??????????????????????
So much for being INSIGNIFICANT!!!!!!! MASTERS MASTERS MASTERS
You know what kills me about Burke??? He's a former P.O. (so they say). How long was he on the job? Is he retired from the dept? If so, then that means he can carry his weapon, as long as he qualifies yearly. Oh wait, Ol Eddie Boy, you are an alderman, and that means you can carry a gun legally anyways. Why do YOU need a bodyguard, regardless of some long-ago unsubstantiated threats?! You can carry on 2 counts. Let's get back to those threats too...when was the last time you received one of these unsubstantiated threats anyways? Within the last month? Two month? Six months? Years??!! When, you thief? Was anything ever done about these threats? Were there any RD #'s generated? Any follow ups done? Any suspects ever ID'd or brought in? Or are the bodyguards some sort ego stroke to compensate for your lack of "masculine fortitude"??!! I hope he reads this post too. What an asshole.
And remember SCC, according to Supt. Geico, no one reads this insignificant blog anyways.
3 months of everybody declining special in unity would force them to hire. Also, the media would pick up on the story. We need to stick together.
Lateral hirings...3-5 yrs on the job, No college, abbrv. Academy and fto, normal cpd starting pay oh wait Daley can't afford to hire 100 cops much less hire an amount that would make a dent in that 2000+ cpd is down...hang your head in shame mayor shortshanks
Eddie Burke is systematic of what's wrong in Chicago. An alderman since 1969 and a former police officer (supposedly) should have learned something about crime by now, especially considering that his 14th Ward was once in Englewood during the White Flight.
Can easily generate $100 million in savings by reducing the size of the city council to 25. Why is it Chicago's city council is larger than Los Angeles or New York? There is the way to hire more police and cut the proposed budget shortfall.
The city can't hire any cops, it is broke. The only way Da Mayor hired cops is with federal money. There is no more federal money so he will not hire any. Face it we are fucked we will not get any help nor will we get hire-back the city is broke. 20 and out while you can because it is going to get worse.
His wife has a bodyguard that is paid for by the State of Illinois. He is a retired Chicago Police Department Captain named Fred Konet.
If cop's work on their RDO for this city they are morons. Make the city hire more officers not play this shell game of moving PO's around to cover the manpower shortage. I wouldnt work it even if they offered triple time, my family time is more important than this city.

Burke is an alderman only because his father essentially gave him the job by dying, first he got the democratic committeeman's spot, then alderman in a "special" election.
I would not do this shit on my days off for anything. We have lost the war. The last one out please turn off the lights.
ED BURKE WAS NEVER THE POLICE
I heard from a reliable source that Burke reads this blog every day. Ed, you talk too much sometimes. You looked foolish in the paper with your two stars. I hard that from everybody Ed.
Ed, you went directly to the "inside spot' from the Academy so you could get your law degree on the company's dime. I think it was the Inspector General, or whatever it was called then. In other words, you were never the Police. Please stop saying you were. Again, you look foolish.
If the Department took back the 'status' bodyguards from you, the evil troll on the fifth floor and anybody else that doesn't need one, you could put most of those 100 new Police Officers on the street TOMORROW. Don't pretend you care about the Police Officers safety until you do. You look REALLY foolish.
Fast Eddie is such a dick!! Who the hell does he think he is?!! Why doesn't he cough up some dough and give it towards more cops on the street? Why doesn't work with the gangs? From my understanding of a Chicago police officer, he is on duty 24/7, 365 now. Why should a police officer give up his off day to do something that should be the parents job in the first place? A day off means to recuperate...to decompress from the stress of the job. Tell fast Eddie to go F--- himself!! It'll probably make him feel better!
Is this going to be like the qouta system like safecity.if so im out.Just like sitting back and see the City of Chicago sink.Thanks LT serb
Isn't this the same Ed Burke, Chairman of the finance cmmte, who brought in his "own" medical referal group to screw with injured police officers?
We have many officers, injured in the line of duty, being denied medical help, left without any means of getting their injures treated.
Hoowcome the press has not picked up on this?
Hey Walter , call the FOP and ask them, your prespective might be right on the mark for once!
Be leery of the young bucks asking you to forego your overtime,me suspicious of the disgruntled young buck wanting to horn in.

Amen. I agree, let's do it.
Apparently he is unaware of operation Safe City. Mr. Ed , you are already buying us back, but then again the alderman will only complain next year about how much we get in ot.
Eddie is fronting off the mayor.
Keep hitting him Eddie. I love to see Dick's hair all disheveled.
maybe have the unemployed in the six counties do a day of citizen patrols in the bad neighborhoods in Chicago.
There is a manpower shortage. Thousands are getting unemployment checks. Maybe have the unemployed do a day in the streets as a citizen patrol. What could go wrong?
There is never a shortage of P.O's for all the Garden walks, Taste of Chicago, Taste of every neighborhood in Chicago, Air and Water show, Parades,Walk for this and Walks for that.
Ask Off duty officers to work the parties. At the Sheffield Garden Walk last week, there were at least 4 cars down for the drunks in this Lincoln Park neighborhood. No one ever questions the man power given to all of this and the $$$ it cost. Don't tell me the venues are paying for the police man power, that's BS!
have cops work their days off? they already do.
Ed and his fellow cronies have the nerve to ask patrolmen to work their days off for the fucking dangerous city, yet, approve a tv show for fucking elite friends of peterson and schmitz, with thier take home covert cars and self made hours, they approved this yesterday in city counsel:
Animal Planet wants to enter into a long-term agreement with the city of Chicago to allow taping of the unit’s everyday activities. On Wednesday, it received city council committee approval and could go to the full city council for a vote as early as next week.

Stick together-yea right. Never happened, never will. Remember this department is all about "me" and "my precious spot"
An ordinance introduced by the Honorable Mayor Richard M. Daley at the
request of the Superintendent of Police; authorizing execution of an
aggreement with Anglia Television for production purposes.
One has to wonder from where did Burke and the rest of these politicians learn the art of politics.

I AM NOT WORKING MY DAY OFF IN THIS RATT HOLE !THEY HANDCUFFED US,TURNED EVERYONE AGAINST US,AND GAVE US LOUSY 2% RAISES!YOU GUYS MADE THE SHORTAGE NOT US!WHERES THE MONEY ALLOCATED FOR THE 13,500 POLICE?SORRY THE 2% RAISE WAS THE LAST STRAW FOR ME!MY DAYS OFF ARE MINE!IM NOT PUTTIN ON THE UNIFORM ON MY DAYS OFF ANYMORE!FOR WHAT!!
s like Quinn that let a bunch of these assholes out only to later admit that it was a mistake......
I do know Quinn will not take your pension- Brady wants to take it away-Look it up. sorry guys but my pension is more important then anything. Call the fop to find out Bradys views on your pension. Be careful what you wish.
Lateral hirings...3-5 yrs on the job, No college, abbrv. Academy and fto, normal cpd starting pay oh wait Daley can't afford to hire 100 cops much less hire an amount that would make a dent in that 2000+ cpd is down...hang your head in shame mayor shortshanks
Lateral hirings would be good, especially since many suburban officers attended our academy. Here is another solution for some quick relief. Rumor has it that there is a stack of applications at Personnel of former CPD officers that want to come back. They have not been allowed to return since J-Fled came into town. Any truth to this? The only former officers that are being retreaded are our military officers. Former officers who actually want to come back that would need a very short amount of training...and they will not let them back. What is wrong with this picture? Can anyone in Human Resources or the Academy verify this situation?
What is funny is that I was at Loyola University's Water Tower campus, Baumhart Hall to be exact. His detail parked in the tow zone for over an hour so Burke could attend mass in that building. What ever happend to separation of church and state? My tax money is funding his religious beliefs on city time?
How much are the P.O's that are on his detail making, hmm I hear they make Detective pay. Burke can carry a gun, he does not need this detail anymore, all he has to do is qualify with his weapon.
He has a point,
100 new hires
30 new sgts just promoted.
=
70 new spots filled in
Times 25 districts
about 2.9 po's to each district
x's 3 watches =
maybe ONE person per watch!!!
Wow!!
they dont have the money for the 100 po s where they guna get the $$$$$$$$$$ to pay us time and a half to deal with these savage animals? ed ura dick
Fast Eddie got Flagg, that would be the felon Flagg, his llinois State security job. As to whether he got him his CPD job, I know nothing.
I'm not getting why this guy has so many paid police"guards". It is a waste of taxpayer's money and should be stopped. All these officers should go back to the street to help alleviate shortages, just the big "100" Daley's going to hire. Get rid of Daley's band of guards, too.
Both these knuckleheads should pay for his own security team if they feels so threatened. Let there be a police report made and let the detectives investigate the claim like they do anyone else who was "threatened". There are people threatened by verbal assaults all the time.As a citizen of this city, the politicians should just do their work and stop acting like royalty, rock stars, etc.
HOW MUCH DOES ED'S DETAIL COST A YEAR??????????????????????

Yes, maybe the finance committee could figure it out. OOOOps, he is the finance committee. Kass? are you there?
OT:
The construction trade unions voted (not Arbitrated) a 9.75% raise over 3 yrs after asking for 15.9%. All in 3 weeks time. Road work to resume, and Daleys Construction Co's can start getting all that OBstimulus money.
Now....
3.75 a year to dig holes, level gravel and tie rebar. M-F, 5 days a week, no shift work, never have to chase gunshots.
What influence to end that strike came from city hall?
No more Striking workers, hey let's push through another (3rd) WalMart on the South(Beale)Side !!!
DV Investments LLC, are there any vacant lots out there in Bealetown to develop ?
Why not bring up a Council hearing on police manpower shortages and crime? It's ALL about jobs isn't it?
gotta run + \ - 2%
Hey since the Dept has rcvd several phone threats at 2 districts maybe we should call in the National Guard !!! after all we lost 2 brothers while they were 1- in a ploice parking lot and 2- while in full uniform in front of his own home !!!!! so FUCK YOU BURKE !!!! YOU HAVE HOW MANY body guards??? PROTECT US 1ST ASSHOLE, WE'RE IN FEAR OF GETTING MURDERED.... FUCK YOU !!!!!
Their is absolutely no reason for 50 wards anymore. Also why does our ward map need to look like a goddamn jigsaw puzzle. Screw these career politicians. ALL of them, the ones that may not be thieves are too silent about those that are. 25 wards by 2012, catchy isn't it. 25 by 12. Being an alderthing is not a royal position. It is a civic service. All perks need to stop. No cars, no freebies. No outside employment. Service to the city is it's own reward. No law firms (hmm, Eddie and Pat etc..) No real estate firms, (Banks etc..) No business ties to bullshit phony reverand businesses.
ED BURKE ERV IS TALKING TO THE FEDS AT 219 S DEARBOURN ABOUT JUSTIC ANN BURKE AND HOW SHE MADE IT ON THE BENCH HE IS ALSO GOING BACK NEXT MONTH TO FIND OUT HOW MUCK JAIL TIME HE WILL GET YOU AND THE MAYOR ARE FUCKED ALL THREE WILL BE IN JAIL FUCK THE THREE OF YOU THE REAL POLICE
HIRE MORE THAN 100 POLICE OFFICERS!

He is not "Fast Eddie." Thanks for playing, though, suburbanite/ downstater who came up here to be the police guy.

Thanks for that info! :)
Re: Anonymous 7/22/2010 06:59:00 PM
I agree! :) Historically, part of the jigsaw puzzle gerrymandering comes from White Alderman wanting the whitest ward possible too.

Wrongo! It is all D-3 sergeants pay,+ all the lucrative overtime,and pension ability at Sgt rate,+ more uniform allowance, + a 2 on 3 off schedule a great place to be,and your wife also gets a nice connected job not to shabby!
Have you ever noticed how mike sneed suntimes gossip never goes after burke? She uses his "castle" in Ireland and travels with him! But ask ed for money from his finance committee for an iod copper who needs and MRI! The answer is no he has his flunkies send a denial letter! Friend of coppers not! Why does he have 8 MILLION+ in his campaign account? Why does his law firm represent city interests? Why does he allow frivolous lawsuits against cpd officers to be paid out in the millions along with his pal mara georges? Why doe she always have 2 MEN with him at all times? Not 1 is a black officer! Why can't he have 1 driver and sit in the front seat of the police spec always brand new crown vic? Time to pull these bullshit deatils the valets hold the doors, run for coffee,and groceries! WHY??
Like you idiots wouldnt jump on this spot if offered to you!
