Murderer to Serve on Police Board
- Some police officers are furious that Mayor Dave Bing wants to nominate a convicted murderer to serve on a board that metes out discipline to cops and sets department policy.
Others argue Raphael B. Johnson, who served 12 years in prison for second-degree murder and is now a motivational speaker, is an inspiration and would be a good fit for the unpaid, four-member Board of Police Commissioners.
We just head a light bulb go off over Shortshanks head. It was only a 40-watt bulb, but it was a bulb anyway.

Shanks is thinking that it would be a nice job for Ike Carothers to take leadership of when he gets out of college/Fed. Pen. He's just wondering how to pay him $200,000.00 annually for the job.
Dear. God.
...in other news, the sheep dog was fired today in a cost cutting measure and will be replaced by 2 wolves that will guard the flock for free.
Shit,,,watch Daley (I know he reads this blog) do the same to appease the mail order reverends and Jesse Jackoff.
More like one of those little night-light bulbs!! It's Detroit, what do you expect...and it'll be coming to a police board near you soon.
So fuckin un-fucking-believable....its actually funny!
I am not a big fan of FOP. However, if a dirtbag is going on the Police Board, so should a maybe of FOP. Maybe a little bit of equity would go a long way. Maybe the Police Boaed meetings should be video taped just like our calls. The Police Board decisions should be published for all to view.
Mike Shields for Police Noard.
Look on the bright side....he can't honestly say anything less than what he did is misconduct....or can he? Our society is completely corrupted by this bullshit!
I'd rather have a murderer on my police board, rather than the fucking theives that exist now.
In my opinion, I'm not entirely opposed to having someone with a 'record' on the police board- there is an operational synergy there- but the vetting process for whoever it is must be colossal and I don't think a murderer is a good choice, regardless of how he's 'turned his life around'. Ideally, it would be Working Joe Sixpack with some distant-past drug beef, or whatever.
There are people out there with past dings on their records who are capable of being objective- but you cannot endeavor to find such a person by simply picking the first idiot to sign on the dotted line.
A murder? Gone way, WAY too far with that sentiment... Bad decision.
At least he's not a politician
Our police board are fucking white colar criminals and why the "G" ain't up their ass is beyond comprehension. Bribe taking behind the curtain POS. Video tape them.
not to worry....barry will show up with a cold beer to discuss the matter. all will be saved. these dummies have to stop trying to blur the line between good and bad behavior. we are not all the same.
Just because his evil eyes are glowing doesn't mean it is because of a light bulb going off. He is plotting revenge, that is what mumbles does best.
A lot of people bash the police board with no justification.
I was railroaded by our wonderful IAD and ended up before the board. The board ruled in my favor unanimously. They really do see thru a witch hunt! They are fair and dont care if you have a brick on you by a head hunter at IAD.
In fact, if you would look into the stats of police board decisions, you will find that most of the officers who are fired, did actually commit a violation that warranted being fired. The cases are part of FOIA Act and can be requested for viewing.
Have there been instances of people losing their jobs on very "iffy" cases? Yes of course this has happened. In cases where there are objections over-ruled but allowed by the hearing officer at a hearing,or other scenarios that were screwed up, the Chancellory Division of the courts has over-turned and sent back to the board for suspension rather than firing.
Take time and go to the hearings-the police board will tell you when the next dates are and you can see how a hearing is conducted and support a fellow officer. There is a website for the police board and shows what cases are there and the date of next continuance.
The police board never actually hears a case as a sitting board. They only see a tape of the hearing officer and the witnesses. The tape is sent to their offices to view individually. No discussion between them unless sit comes over the telephone .
Anonymous, I loved your analogy
about the sheepdog being fired
and the wolves "volunteering" their
services. Is is real food for
thought.
Whatever happened to the big police board scandal here? Feds couldn't put it together? shameful.

The convicted murder is honest about who he is.
Tango alpha to base.
-Go ahead,
is this actual
-yes, not a drill
probes report
-no higher functioning lifeforms left
range calculated, yield locked in, target aquired.
-its a go
weapon released, sigh. Detroit was once a very habitable place.
WHY NOT A RECENT MERIT COMMANDER WAS MERIT ALL THE WAY UP ,AND HIS ALDERMAN DADDY WENT TO PRISON,AND HIS ALDERMAN BROTHER IS CONVICTED AND GOIN TO PRISON!HE WAS THE HEAD OF THE POLICE BOARD!!AND THI RECENT PROMOTEE HAS HAD MERIT BUMPS FROM DET,SGT,LT,AND NOW COMMANDER!!HOW????THIS IS EMBRASSING!WHO NOT WHAT U KNOW!!!!!!
The other day I made a comment on FB about how it wouldn't surprise me if convicted cop killers got paroled and everyone got mad at me because apparently they thought that wouldn't happen. This is a precursor to it. Who in their right fucking mind would hire a convicted murderer for ANYTHING????? Daley, that's who. Anyone running for mayor that want's that line, take it.
Someone who has truly reformed themselves might not be a bad choice.
No one is perfect and the political hacks that almost always infect these kind of appointed boards are often scum anyway. They just wear suits and ties and hobnob with the power minds.
It might be an improvement.
DONT KNOCK IT. ITS COMING TO CHICAGO SOONER THEN YOU THINK.
I would rather have an up-turned mop with a bucket for a head run this City, than to have that dim Daley for another 4 years. Any bright idea this fool gets couldnt light up a dorm size 'fridgerator, that's how we got The JFled Bunch - Shortshanks paradigm of Hope.
Inspirational speaker my ass. Reminds me of another murderer from Lake County Michigan that did his time and was made friend of the court. Oh did I happen to mention that during that time he abducted a girl, later threw her out of a car trunk for dead 75 miles away and is in prison for the rest of his life now,, along with two sons in the same prison for murder. (later incident..) Not only hell but hell no. Let them be reborn in Heaven.
unbelievable...i guess serving 12 yrs in prison makes u an expert on police matters since he's already well versed on criminal matters...the poor victim's family...they must be livid..
The Mayor should appoint G. Flint Taylor to the Chicago Police Board.
Typical
IT WAS A 1ST DEGREE MURDER THAT WAS PLEAD DOWN TO 2ND DEGREE FOR A QUICK SETTLEMENT AND A CONVICTION FOR THE ASA.
O.T.
