Lieutenant Story Grows
Channel 2 did a story this morning.
So did Channel 5.
PoliceOne.com and THEE Rant (NYPD) have picked it up.
Frank Main at the Sun Times did a month old story about the Cozzi decision in a lame attempt at deflecting ongoing controversy.
Word is more may be on the way. Keep their feet to the fire.

The only one who'll get in any hot water is the dope who issued the cr in the first place. The more the department fights the worst they look.
I wonder if Dean Andrews job will have any repercussions on the count of he's one of the "brass"?
Hey...did you forget about me! LOL
Just joking!
I have a funny feeling it is going to keep on growing too...
Patricia Hill talked vial nonsense for years in an attempt. To undermine and Hurt her fellow p.0's, doing it for years with impunity. LT speaks true-fully about deep problems effecting all police and immediately gets slammed. What's the difference in diligence?
How do we get into Theerant?
The "TRUTH" is what the politicians and bosses in this city don't want you to know!!!
Keep it rolling...
I saw a group on facebook "I support Lt. Andrews."
how do we find it on Thee Rant?

Question, will my ethnicity (white) and me being the first in my family venturing into law enforcement hold me back?

It didn't hold me back along with probably many others on CPD.

Myself and 2 brothers all made it and we fell into your category.... Its not a problem getting on. What happens for the next 20 or 30 years of your career may be a different story...... Alot is who you know and what etnic organization you belong too. Sometimes a nobody slips through and gets what she/he deserves (not everyone will agree with that). No matter what the paychecks come twice a month and you'll be glad for that. Better than most jobs these days (not everyone will agree with that).... If its what you want to do, be the Police, keep trying. Its not all as bad as it sounds here. Things change all the time here. Soon, it will be remembered only as a bad short time in our careers (not everyone will agree with that either...) Hopefully the change comes soon and we can move forward again with a Real Police leader....
SCC,
Why are you so hard to find on Yahoo, AOL, Bing, Google now????
SCS pops up and an assortment of blogs refering to you. Please fix this, you are losing an exponential amount of viewers. I want the WORLD to see you brothers and sisters!
Some do NOT!
Im begging everyone and anyone....if Lt. Andrews loses his job or is seriously repremanded, what can we do to support him and fight this? im talking from a civilian\chicago resident prespective.
Is there anything we private citizens can do to help get rid of this Jody Weis?
I plan on voting against Daley, but I'd like to do more to have my voice heard, aside from just posting on blogs and the like. Should we write letters? To whom should we write them? I really believe this man is shepherding the city to it eventual destruction (by proxy of first destroying our police). the fact that he's using process to attack a dissenter really shows his true colors.
Everything he said could not be more true. The department is in the worst state ever. We need change badly.
F*** frank main and the rest of the media whores contributing to the demise of this Department and city (for those reporters that do their job and are not on shortshanks' pocket thank you). I can only hope that this story picks up more steam and J-Fled keeps his word and resigns as HE IS the source of low morale. We all need to stick together and support the LT on this one.
The minute I saw the scumtimes story I knew it must have been a slow "What can we bash the police with" day. I couldn't believe they printed a month old story. My prayers are with Bill
I WISH the Sgt's in the 011th District would take a page out of Lt.Andrews book!! 95% of the Sgts in 011 are "YES" men. They are suck-holes that won't stick up for themselves! Lt.Andrews the Blue shirts have your back, you are a TRUE LEADER.
-Sgt's "Squad can you run a name over the air (even though you just did it over the PDT and KNOW he has a warrant)ok, get me a car over hear to do this arrest" I swear the Sgt's on 3rd watch try to see who can get more "air" time on the radio.
- WE ARE UNDER MANNED, 011 IS BUSY AS IT IS, STOP TRYING TO GENERATE WORK FOR P.O's SO 2-3 CARS ARE DOWN ON YOUR B.S. AND NOW THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH CARS TO BACK EACH OTHER UP ON STREET! ANSWER YOUR CALLS AND BACK EACH OTHER UP, PERIOD. GUESS WHAT?? Boo Boo who is working on the corner will beat his case and sue you, and be replaced an hour later!!!
Citizens of chicago must begin to shout out to everyone and anyone you can. Its not easy, because your supposed representatives will block your "negative" opinion. Meaning DO NOT go through your alderman or any represenative of your area. They are all incahoots.
What can you do? Start big time publicity stunts. You have to get the media behind you. Elect the most intelligent and articulate speakers to represnt you. Don't just shout and bitche, you must bring eloquent and artculate facts forward.
It may seem weak in the beginning, but you have to keep doing it and doing it. And yell and yell and yell at the mayor - who is the one responsible for this crisis.
The power of the people.
Frank Main at the Scum Times: How does it feel to be a whore for the evil runt at shitty hall ???????
I hope your fingers fall off for helping the evil little prick in his battle against THE TRUTH !!!!
You jumped into the toilet with the fetid turd daley.
When the bowl flushes you all go into the abyss !
Well lookie here, all it took was one selfless essay on the truth of the state of this department from someone who has nothing to lose. Look, if you have twenty years on and are over fifty you can leave this place with your head held high and a nice pension. You too have nothing to lose. BUT kissing ass is so important on this job that the rest of you higher ups that have not come forward yet to support this LT. ought to be RIGHTLY ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES. We finally got this fool on the ropes and we need another flurry of punches to knock him out. He never met a press conference he didn't like until this one. It wasn't easy for the LT. to start this ball rolling and Larry Yellin started a shit storm when he cut down the pitchman Billy Mays(RIP) in the middle of one of of his "crime is down" informercials.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I just looked at channel 5 website and it said that the department is going to take a look at what Lt. Andrews did this coming Friday?! Suddenly the department has a fasttrack for certain CR numbers??Or obviously the ones that went public? FK this prick and his personal agenda and self serving rules. Keep speaking up.

The best thing I can think of would be to vote daley out of office. He wrought this and other abominations on the citizens.
Get rid of daley and vote a decent human being in to help get rid of the massive systemic corruption that has run rampant in Chicago for years.
Get rid of daley and weis and many others will be kicked out of town right behind him. Until then, write letters to the US Attorney demanding a federal investigation of the corruption in the administration of the police department.
Hasnt the mayor criticized the police department that is under his command? Give me a minute to research.
We all tend to agree with the Good Lieutenant. Unfortunately we can't get 2 coppers to agree on where to eat lunch. The biggest and BOLDEST support we can give John Andrews is to copy and paste his letter (verbatim) and sign our own names on the bottom line. The department probably would not and logisitically could not fire one/two/three/four thousand of us with the current fatal shortage that we are operating under. There is not one person in IAD that disagrees with his letter. They are doing what they are being told to do. The department is afraid of such truthful and damning verbage such as that which was written!!!
The truth hurts. Mayor Daley and Company want to make an example of this Lt.
I'll buy benefit tickets when they come out.
they had better take a long, hard look at the First Amendment (vis-a-vis internet bloggers), before they try and impose punishment (not that J-Fed and the city administration is all that sharp anyway). J-Fed has a well publicized history of trying to go after whistle blowers....anyway, when's the benefit, and how much are the tickets? Besides, JA only wrote what most of the rank and file, up and down the ranks, already knew.....
Let 's leave well enough alone
this is his own view and therefore
they must stand because he wrote this on his own time and the right to freedom should stand sometime the truth hurts but it must be brought out so that change can happen let not start with an IAD
investigation ,getting involved in this at the any point should not be because as american we have a voice and we must be heard stop the drama we need to let the citizen of chicago view the real story behind a department view from the outside looking in
job Lt andrews and made your words
mean something to everyone in this department let us support our own
the time is now if you know something say something cause its a new day good luck again lt and may u continue to talk of what u feel only the strong survive in this place we call earth .
A yea-e-yea I push rhymes like weight.....
JFLED HE GONE SOON
I read an article about Jodi's merit promotions this morning in the Sun Crimes while eating breakfast.
I can't find it online, was by Fran Spielman. Seems the media is aware of the issue, Lord knows what they'll do with it.
SWAT has not procedural manual and doesnt train on a regular basis, Not enough bomb sniffing dogs, lack of radios, average beat car has over 90,000 miles on it,beat cars taken from other dists to fill gaps in hot spots- some citizens left with no police protection, airports with no manpower and no preventative measures HELLO MEDIA WTF WE ARE UNSAFE
9-11 Aniversary is coming and the CPD is Not prepared to keep the city safe- Rock on LtAndrews
I believe that Lt Andrews will not lose his job nor be reprimanded. Rumor is that headquarters is scarred in fear of a lawsuit.
If the good LT. is having a legal fund raiser for his defense please post so all rank and file can contribute and have in a central location for all the city PO's to attend! GOOD WORK JOHN were behind you 100%
Off topic a bit. But no one mentioned the quote by Berwyn Police Chief Bill Kushner who responded to the Andrews letter and was quoted in the Tribune. Kushner (Ret CPD Lt.) said the CPD "is a shell of what it once was". Bill was the Real Police.
FOP should have a march around 35th St. WEIS NEEDS TO GO!!!
(OT) Looks like more and more police are not responding to crimes,the felons are having a field day! Keep on giving all the money away to illegals,and link card holders and make them do nothing but lie,cheat,steal great job dumocratic regime! http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2010-08-25-1Anresponsecops25_ST_N.htm
Frank Main is lame. All his articles are lame. He should be a columinist for Shortshanks Inc.
We need more bosses to come out and tell the truth or nothing will be done.
8/24/2010 09:53:00 PM
Bobby Lopez, now is your chance to really prove yourself. Otherwise everything that you've been fighting for was in vain. Step up, you have nothing to loose. They're scared of you in the Hall and the troops really respect you. You speaking up will reaffirm Lt. Andrews words and will be Jfeds nail in the coffin.

Hey FOP! Lets get another vote of NO VOTE OF CONFIDENCE ONCE MORE! Take another vote FOP! Grow some nuts. We need to send a message once again while this is in the News. Do it asap please
The next time you see Frank Mains car with his nice press pass, ticket it! Yes we know that the press has all the tickets non-suited, but its a hassel for them.
Remember, a press pass is a REQUEST for courtesy.
He has no right to boss any police officer around. And yes, if he gets too pushy and interfears with the police, you can taek his veickle and personal pass away.
Remember to inventory it and send a copy of everything to the union.
Shortshanks could score a serious public relations coup (and maybe save the department) by embracing Andrews and making him Sup.
But that would require admitting Hizzoner was wrong.

This is good news. The truth needs to be heard. Maybe now others will open their mouths as well. Could you imagine what 3 or 4 news stories would cause?

CROOKAGO DOUBLE-STANDARD, AS USUAL.
"Is there anything we private citizens can do to help get rid of this Jody Weis?"
Letter writing may not help, but it couldn't hurt, particularly if A LOT of letters come in. One thing Tricky Dick understands is voter displeasure.
"I plan on voting against Daley..."
Bless you. Recruit your friends & family to do the same.
This would be soooo much easier if John was a good guy. His support of Harley, who was a stone cold asshole, when he was in 008 and his disdain for subordinates and co-workers make him almost an anti-hero, the rotten guy you just have to like, kind of like the assassin in No Country for Old Men. Make no mistake, his motives are totally self serving. Maybe Harley will hire him out in Lyons.
Having said that, despite his motives, he is dead on in his commentary. The problem is that this is turning into a First Amendment issue instead of looking at points that are brought up and looking at their merit. We know them to be true, but proving some of these things are tuff. Not impossible. A good reporter could probably get a Pulitzer nomination because this is a back door into how the Daley Machine operates and wastes tax payer money. We need to stay focused on the content though and worry about first amendment stuff if and when it happens.
But, does anybody wonder why we have to sign anonymous instead of our names. We who aren't in the KMA and have family obligations and need our jobs, for now. We have already taken a no confidence vote. FOP needs to get more involved.
Im begging everyone and anyone....if Lt. Andrews loses his job or is seriously repremanded, what can we do to support him and fight this?
------------------------------
On the one hand, there is the first amendment that generally prevents governments from interfering in legitimate free speech on the part of individuals.
OTOH, the LT is part of management of a city department and there is some expectation that he toe the line as part of accepting that level of job. It may be that he cannot have it both ways.
My guess is only a court case can tell for sure.
To the idiots saying "Andrews is a prick as a boss" "he did this or that in th 90's"....get your heads out of your ass. It is the message that is important here, not the messenger. The message is right on target and the fact that it is a white shirt beefing adds some zing for the media.
Peter Sellers (the Pink Panther) was a ruthless prick off camera but he was funny as hell as soon as someone yelled ACTION!. That Eddie Vedder guy, he was real smiley and happy off stage. Point being, its the message that counts.
did you see the Fran Spielman article in the suntimes today? can't find it online, have to see them paper on how stupid and clueless Weis is.
Is there any directed effort at having a show of support for the Lt. for the meeting mentioned about his possibly being disciplined on Friday? I guess that making and keeping exempts that have multiple positive warrants executed at their residence where both weapons & narcotics are recovered; keeping exempts that are involved in highly public/newsworthy domestic incidents where there is electronic and audio evidence supporting a patrloman having his employment threatened; making a career meritorious, ethically challenged member of a convicted felon family into a district commander & creating a new unit for an inexperienced, unqualified with undistinguished arrest career record house mouse doesn't qualify as bringing disrepute to the department. It's reassuring to know that J-Fled ( Gotta' go! ) doesn't know, or have to abide by the moral code and ethics that so many of my fellow working police live by each & every day. Area 1 Detective

FOP. PBPA, we need to organize a march on City Hall. They can't discipline us for exercising our Union rights and it is our union and consitutional right to demonstrate our concern for officer safety (low manpower) and our 1st amendment right! Power in numbers, lets stop the talk and move to action.
Gotta love Jody's comment in todays Sun-Times about his driver: "...get back in the field and find a commander to put you in (for merit)." Years ago I worked for a Deputy Chief who was getting ready to retire who had this advice for making Sergeant - if you really want it, put everything on hold and study your ass off....
Also, I'd like to know how the Mayors bodyguard got the "highest score of all the nominees..??? What exactly are they using as the critera for the scoring???
"Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things." - Peter Drucker
Obviously, management and leadership are two words that Daley, Weis and their clout clowns know nothing about.
Weis sand-bagged Cozzi, there is no doubt about it and Weis is a liar.
SCC,
Why are you so hard to find on Yahoo, AOL, Bing, Google now????

He is easy to find, I just tried on all. When you come up from the basement, ask your mom to turn off the parental controls.
***** My friend works at Ch 11 Wttw and word there is Chicago tonight is trying to get J-fled and Lt. Andrews on the show together and have them debate issues realting to morale and cpd hiring and promoting. Word is J-fled wants the panel to include Masters and 2 other cool-aid drinkers so he has help to make Andrews look bad. If Ch 11 gets an avalanche of emails asking for this to be a show then they will air it Sept 3rd. Start emailing!
I can not respect anybody who rode on the coat tails of Harley Schinker. Although what this guy says is true, I am quite sure it is for self serving reasons. If he was really interested in making this job better, he should be a watch commander in some ghetto district and make his watch better there.
He is nothing more then another white shirt running his mouth but unwilling to take action. Enjoy your fifteen minutes Lieutenant it goes by fast.

Computer viruses -- Watch out for a "browser hijacker" called "Alureon." You're doing a Google search and want to go to one web page you see; it redirects you to some B.S. "shopping" page or something.
Hard to get rid of. Avira anti-virus detects and clears it but it keeps coming back. The Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool won't even start. (Typical.) I ran "House Call," an online virus check from Trend Micro, and it detected spyware called "Morpheus" and wiped that. Working now to see if I'm in the clear.
People who write viruses are at least as bad as child molesters in my book.
It occurs to me; this kind of computer work takes hours and hours and hours; who's paying the people who keep churning this material out? It can't all be coming from a couple of college kids in Bulgaria, if you know what I mean...makes ya wonder.
This will be a main topic on my radio show Thursday night at 9pm on Blog Talk Radio. http://www.blogtalkradio.com/dukesblotter/2010/08/27/dukes-blotter-live
I have also posted it on my blog as well
http://www.dukesblotter.com/2010/08/chicago-police-lieutenant-tells-it-like.html
Lt Andrews all the support that we can get him for doing what each and every one of us has always wanted to do.
Tried to post this on DSLC but it didn't make it on. Don't know why, but there must have been a posting error.
For John's information (and anyone else interested).
In the 1970's there was a Supreme Court decision in Mueller Vs. CPD. In this case a PO (Mueller) made controversial remarks about the police departments internal affairs division, in which he stated that they white washed every investigation. The department disciplined him with a suspension. Mueller took it to court and won in the Supreme Court. In the ruling it was stated that a police officer speaking as a private citizen (when off-duty) retains his right of free speech even though the department might find the statements offensive, as long as the statements are true. Hope this helps John when they attempt to nail him to the wall. Get a lawyer John.
Come on Jodi, you know the meaning of free speech. Back off! You can't afford anymore dissention!
A2 HGS
As a matter-of-fact Jodi, why don't you investigate the Daley's family members for looting our pension fund?
You always seem to jump on the wrong band wagon!!!

Intense population pressure -- it can be worth your life to try to get into the United States
Official: 72 found dead in Mexico may be migrants
"MEXICO CITY – A survivor has told police that 72 people found dead at a ranch near the Mexican border with Texas were migrants kidnapped by an armed group...The bodies of 58 men and 14 women were discovered Tuesday...the migrants were trying to reach the U.S. border and were killed when they refused to pay extortion fees demanded by the armed group."
This is not the first time, either. Keep those no-questions-asked government benefits coming, the free food and free backpacks full of school supplies and free medical care; you'd be an idiot not to try to make it up here for the easy living.
I think for citizens who want to add input to the WEIS problem, one effective way would be to maybe gather signatures from areas, districts where crime/police manpower is short, "letters to news" outlets from citizens being affected from his bad leadership, [backlogs/no manpower/no backup from CPD brass], and maybe "town hall type" meetings organized with news media on hand to spread the word. Just a few ideas i could think of, it would be a start to something big!!
That group on Facebook had better watch their P's and Q's. They are NOW under scrutiny at 35/Mich. Funny...looked at the coppers on that list. A whole 15 of them! None from a unit...all from Patrol Division. Shows the division amongst ranks. Actually, anybody in a unit would be a damn fool to support a page like that. Don't believe for a second J-Fed won't be eyeing the group members and taking a mental note to crush them later.
Specialized unit people will always avoid losing their spots. It's the Chicago Way!
-ole timer in 001
I believe the Lt, will be on the Roe and Roeper Show on WLS this afternoon.
John , let powers to be know how many police officers are hidden inside commander and caps office
you were the caps lt for awhile
also how many 1 man units and down cars on midnights while inside office police are falling all over each other
that shows what good managers jfled is promoting
I was getting a pedicure this a.m. (ahhh, the life of a retiree) and the tech. told me about the story, and how terrible she thinks it is CPD is so short-handed. People from all over are perking their ears up at this - it's their safety at stake, dontchano. So I told her if she wants change, start by not voting for Daley.
Coppers beware of what you ask for.
If you knew JA because you worked with or for him I don't think you'd really like his "leadership" style.
Intelligent- yes, organized- yes, loyal to the CPD- yes, common sense- below average, leadership - poor.
Those are my subjective gradings from having worked with JA under somewhat stressful conditions.
I have no axe to grind and we never had words or dispute.
I too liked what he wrote and yes, it was fair and more accurate than
most city officials would want to admit.
BUT,
He's far from the knight in shining metal plate espoused by many who do not have a clue about who he is or what kind of a "total package" he actually represents.
One letter, signed, is one thing.
Go easy on the accolades.
Avoid superlatives. Always be safe.
I am now a retired C.P.D. officer and in my last couple of years on the JOB I had the opportunity to deal with LT. ANDREWS, And I can only say that he was always pleasant and professional to deal with.Other then that I know nothing else about this man ,but I'll bet he only wants whats best for the working P.O.(This is just my opinion).
As with Former Mayor Bilandic, could this be shorty's snow storm, that rides him outa' town?
Who got the cr# on the Lt. Hmmmmmm?
There is a Facebook page supporting the Lt., I joined today and it currently has about 40 members. Didn't see any Whiteshirts on there. Lets see how many Blueshirts will join. We have nothing to lose.

Sorry Bro, but I disagree with you 100%. I will arrest many people as possible. Even if it means that there is less manpower on the streets. In the end, I care about: me, myself and I.
With my excellent arrest history, I will make the tact team while you my lazy friend will remain a blue shirt working in 011 or another shitty district.
P.S.- Some of us young cops are hungry. Some are not. To each their own.
Bosses already talking how that's not a smart thing he did and all I can say is F them then fix this fuckin problem. Ass hats with gold badges are still Ass hats, no leadership ability just bark out dumb fuckin orders and then change there mind 10 min later. Brother keep up the fight and I'm behind you.

I for one am done marching. One wasted marching effort was enough for me to see the light.
Marching is for mutts. All it does is bring TV cameras. In the end, it accomplishes nothing.
You'd think that the Capt.'s would get out in front on this 'story' after the royal reaming they got from both 5th floors. Or, do they see an opportunity to spoil things, and get something in return from the Hall? I'm guessing that John A. is about to be 'randomly' selected for a variety of unpleasant things, with a heavy dose of 'expressway therapy' thrown in.

"We are short handed out there guys tonight, so make sure you stay clear and code your jobs quickly and back each other up," and then 2 hours into the tour his entire sector is down on bullshit arrests. But god forbid that someone else takes to long on coding a job. And people want to know why I don't do anything anymore on this job except assist officers and code jobs. I forgot to mention also T/S at least always takes care of his own, they go home early all the time, and I say good for them on that at least.
With regards to the article about his driver, let's start at the top. How did he get to be your driver (clout) how did he get to go from there to narcotics (clout) how did Roman put him in if you instructed him to find someone to put him in when Roman works in the Sup's office (clout) That is clout defined and jody spelled it out in an article that I cannot find online to make this comment to the writer

that's swell, now get me that java i told you to get me, 20+ minutes ago.
Police supt.'s former driver, mayor's one-time bodyguard 2 of just 9 promoted
Critics say moves show police merit promotion process rife with politics

"He is nothing more then another white shirt running his mouth but unwilling to take action. Enjoy your fifteen minutes Lieutenant it goes by fast.

a little early in the afternoon to be so cranky.
"What exactly are they using as the critera for the scoring???
8/25/2010 11:38:00 AM"
this is a question just begging for a Keesing Bandit reply.
the Lt's association has put togehter a petition to present to Weis, this is to show support, even in a small way it is probably a lot more than FLOP would have done.
"Word is J-fled wants the panel to include Masters and 2 other cool-aid drinkers so he has help to make Andrews look bad. If Ch 11 gets an avalanche of emails asking for this to be a show then they will air it Sept 3rd. Start emailing!
8/25/2010 01:02:00 PM"
someone should advise weis that sucking his thumb will be just as effective, though, he may need at least one aide to remind him to take his thumb out of his mouth before he speaks.
This is a directive from the #4 person in our department..
Received from D/S Brown:
“…Effective immediately, the following change in the organizational structure of the Bureau of Patrol will occur. All units within SFG wth the exception of SWAt will be placed up inder the direction of Chief Eugene Williams…”
What the heck is "up inder"? I would assume it was meant to be "up under" but WTF!!!
If what Frank Main did, run an old story to deflect attention from important news, he's a jagoff of the first order. These fucking reporters are supposed to report the truth. Not play bullshit for their political masters. Unamerican unpatriotic pieces of shit.
"Frank Main is lame. All his articles are lame. He should be a columinist for Shortshanks Inc.

waddayameen, should be?
I read an article about Jodi's merit promotions ...I can't find it online
*****
Look under Metro - Tri State on the web site. Click on "Police supt.'s former driver, mayor's one-time bodyguard 2 of just 9 promoted". It's the fourth one down on the list.
NO DISSENTION IS ALLOWED IN THE DALEY DICTATORSHIP. YOU WILL DO AND SAY AS YOU ARE TOLD. ZIEG-HEIL...
Lt. Andrews will be Roe Conn AM890 at 1700 today.
I can not respect anybody who rode on the coat tails of Harley Schinker. Although what this guy says is true, I am quite sure it is for self serving reasons. If he was really interested in making this job better, he should be a watch commander in some ghetto district and make his watch better there.
He is nothing more then another white shirt running his mouth but unwilling to take action. Enjoy your fifteen minutes Lieutenant it goes by fast.
8/25/2010 01:20:00 PM
From what I seem to gather on here he is a Lt. in 011. Is 011 not considered a ghetto anymore? (Sounds like the days when Commander Maurice Ford said 007 was the new Schaumburg)
"Sorry Bro, but I disagree with you 100%. I will arrest many people as possible. Even if it means that there is less manpower on the streets. In the end, I care about: me, myself and I.
With my excellent arrest history, I will make the tact team while you my lazy friend will remain a blue shirt working in 011 or another shitty district.
P.S.- Some of us young cops are hungry. Some are not. To each their own."
HAHAHAHAHA!! Wow...that's your ambition? To go to tact in 011?? Oooooo, thrilling! While you're out there running and gunning, kid, make sure you learn how to do an SUB arrest. Kids like you will only learn the hard way. Have fun telling all of your friends how rough and tough you are. Then be prepared to tell them all how rough and tough you USED to be when you are rotting away in callback. What a joke!

Gotta love Jody's comment in todays Sun-Times about his driver: "...get back in the field and find a commander to put you in (for merit)." Years ago I worked for a Deputy Chief who was getting ready to retire who had this advice for making Sergeant - if you really want it, put everything on hold and study your ass off....
Also, I'd like to know how the Mayors bodyguard got the "highest score of all the nominees..??? What exactly are they using as the critera for the scoring???
8/25/2010 11:38:00 AM
How did the deputy chief make it that high? Politics and merit. -fruck him and his study hard bullshit. I am soo tired of those exempt god figures.
I read an article about Jodi's merit promotions this morning in the Sun Crimes while eating breakfast.
I can't find it online, was by Fran Spielman. Seems the media is aware of the issue, Lord knows what they'll do with it.

Anyone interested in reading the scum-times article, here is the URL to it. Some good comments too.
Officers, man your computers and make Lt. Andrew's letter go VIRAL!
Send Lt. Andrew's letter to:
www.breitbart.com/contact.php (Andrew Breitbart)

Everyone has to hear about what is happening in Chicago with the Police Department. www.freerepublic.com recently featured the Sun-Times Neil Steinberg article on Lt. Andrew's letter. Check it out and read what other's around the USA are saying about this letter. (Search under Neil Steinberg or I can provide you the link.)
I am wondering about the possibility of starting a petition/ letter writing drive in every unit of the Chicago Police Department, politely but firmly and decisively worded in complete support of Lt Andrews and the spirit and intent of his recent blog posting.
This would require signatures of all those signing said petition/letter of support.
I don't want to jam anyone up by even suggesting doing this on department time or with department resources etc. but I think it would be wholly appropriate for those of us who feel just as Lt Andrews has articulated to provide a massive show of support for him.
If there is a lawyer out there among the ranks of the sworn, maybe could you type something up and format it correctly and forward it via email to SCC and perhaps SCC could post a .pdf acrobat file of the blank petition/letter of support so anyone could print them out and start accumulating signatures or signing individually and sending them to an appropriate higher authority.
Perhaps maybe even an eloquent retired Sgt. who feels passionately about this police department might assemble some words in the correct order and get 'er done.
What do people think about this?
I was at 35th & Michigan today on some business, I work in patrol. I saw two friends who both shocked me with their attitudes. Both were formerly straight arrow pro-CPD people. Both hate working there and said they now are counting the days till they can escape the hell that CPD HQ has become.
If this were a company, the board of directors would shitcan the entire management team immediately.
What a mess!

You are referring to 429 F.2d 901 (Jack) Muller v. Conlisk, et al. (7th Circuit - 1970). Jack won on appeal.
While many police considered Jack a controversial pariah, we worked a few tours together in Detective Division Area 5. He was a very bright man.
3:45 PM
Thanks for your input, J-Fled.
You're not a marcher. You "gotta run".
Hey hard charger, give yourself more than just your probationary period on the job before you care about "arresting as many people as you can." get sued a few times and step in shit once or twice slapping around a shit bag, we will watch your attitude change. Your vim and vigor is appreciated, but you don't have enough time on the job yet to realize this. This is coming from a 10 year tac vet, 16 yes on the job, and not a dog.
Why was it that the individual designated as the "meritorious" selection for Lieutenant from the Internal Affairs Division was assigned as the investigator for the Lt. Andrews CR?
it was amazing to hear Pat Hill on WVON and WBMX radio on several occasions bringing disrespect upon the Dept
Now they want to hammer this guy
OT #2 - progress against computer virus
Mentioned before I had "Alureon," a very nasty "rootkit" virus, very hard to get rid of. Some antiviral programs see it but can't get rid of it, other programs don't see it at all, and it's a "browser hijacker" that will actually protect itself by redirecting you away from sites containing the solution.

Thank you, Officer Naivety.
I for one am done marching. One wasted marching effort was enough for me to see the light.
Marching is for mutts. All it does is bring TV cameras. In the end, it accomplishes nothing.
8/25/2010 03:45:00 PM
Obviously you never heard of the civil rights movement or the anti-war movement.Perhaps you view yourself and your problems as unique.
8/25/2010 04:59:00 AM

Well you go Bro...You go right ahead & arrest as many people as you can! Your right, don't worry about manpower...You just go ahead & worry about You!! I bet with your Excellent Arrest history, I'm sure you will be on the tact team!! But remember when you get stripped, sent to call back, sued, lose everything...Its gonna be your LAZY BLUE SHIRT FRIEND that works in 011 or some SHITTY dist. that will be holding a benefit for you...cause you & your family will be Hungrey!! And some of us Not!! So us Lazy Blue Shirts will throw $25-$50 your way!! While your Excellent Arrest History goes down the drain, we will have a pension, home & our family! Hey Bro...when that Benefit letter goes out how bout you copy your above statement on it..you know so all us Lazies can finally get it!!! Oh let me guess...less than 3ys on...Right!!!
The complainant on Lt. John Andrews' Complaint Register (C.R. No.) number is Robert Climas, Internal Affairs (IAD). It appears that J-Fled's FBI buddy (defendant) drew the short straw.
The second 3:45 PM "anonymous" poster is a troll. Get your tongue out of J-Fled's colon, suckhole. Go on medical roll with rug burns.
Why Does Not FOP Use This Opportunity To Jump Up, And Jump In ?
Hey,,,,,, FOP Where Are You ???
Hiding Under A Rock ???
Where Have You Been ????
What Are You FOP ???
Now Is The Time To Speak Up.
Sounds like the Lt. is about to be the victim if a civil rights violation. What goes around, come around jfled!!!!!!!

You must be new in town. Frank Main has been doing this for years.
Hey, ole timer in 001...you should see the Facebook support page now. Over a 100 and counting...
Loser.

It's simple. His has always been assigned to handle cases involving Lieutenant and above. With all things being equal this Sergeant would have been promoted a long time ago. You are talking out of your ass again.

He is nothing more then another white shirt running his mouth but unwilling to take action. Enjoy your fifteen minutes Lieutenant it goes by fast.

Men are dumb sometimes.
I was having dinner with a female friend the other night when the SCC blog came up in conversation. I laughed when telling the story of a critical poster stuck in a time warp from the 90's who repeatedly blasts me with the same stuff over and over.
She whips out her iPhone and reads the threads. When getting to the poster I mentioned, she laughed. She said it is from a scorned woman - she could read right through it.
Well there ya go. Someone who apparently was plugged into the dept in the 90's but obviously not plugged in anymore...but seems to still hold extreme criticism.
Wow! Who could that be?
One who likes ponies?
Life is too short...
Yes, men are indeed dumb sometimes.

I did just that.
Both have their post-CPD plans in the works. Both are leaving the employ of CPD, one to retirement, one to another line of work. Soon.
Thanks for the suggestion.
