Police Limit
If this isn't part of your weekly reading, it should be:
Word is, someone is trying to get a CR number on these characters - bringing discredit and all that jazz.
And how is it someone can get a CR number on a lieutenant writing his own opinions, yet J-Fled can make known sexual harassers, dope/gun runners, liars and thieves into exempts with out anyone raising the stink of "brings discredit to the Department"?

Bizarro World?
"Gub" has been doing Police Limit for a very long time, and the majority of his strips come (came) from posters from the now retired Domelights forum (Philly), and from the private forum, Beaconlights (Philly).
Garey is not only good people but he's one of the funniest I know.
When he does a strip based on what a poster has said, it becomes an honor, and one I can say I've had the privilege of being a part of.
I'm not sure if he knows about your post, SCC, but I'll be sure to post about it on BL.
Kudos to you, Gubby! You rock!
Question on Carothers article in the Sun Times regarding JFled asking permission from the FBI to promote Anthony Carothers.......
If Commander Carothers knew he was under investigation by an outside law enforcement agency, did he violate General Orders by not immediately notifying the CPD as required?
Personally I believe the FBI wanted this promotion to occur due to a secret investigation they are working on. Unlike the Blago case where they stopped the investigation, I think the Febs wanted this promotion to fully run its course for a reason we will find out in the near future. Just a guess.
Maybe money or promises were exchanged. This is only a guess because what else can it be?
If they can get a CR on someone in PA, then they really have lost it.
Word is, someone is trying to get a CR number on these characters - bringing discredit and all that jazz.

Did it occur to the that this guy might not work for Chicago? They don't rule everything and if the shoe fits.....
its their world ..... we just live in it.
YOU have a job and THEY have a career ..... due to all maner of under handed shit.
another idiot boss is Assistant Superintendent James Jackson. Beware of him. So the wagon in 002 goes to lunch in 009, a neighboring district without clearing from a job. Jackson drives by the wagon and pulls them up on the PDT. They should be in 002 on a job. Were they wrong - yes. But we all know the drill on this including Jackson. Now here's the kicker. Jackson flips out and calls the watch commander 002 to SPAR the wagon. And also that the 002 District commander needs to be called at home to tell her what is going on. Call the commander at home because a car is a mile out of the district on lunch while on another job? What a joke Assistant Superintendent James Jackson is. This guy is as bad as JFLED. This is the No. 2 boss in the CPD folks! Great leadership.
The inmates truly are running the asylum. CPD is sunk, and unlike the Titanic can never be ressurected.

Because that's the way it has always been done here. jodypweis promised things would be done differently under his regime. That proved not to be true; in fact, under jodypweis it is worse than in any administration I can remember.
More discredit has been brought by he who put himself forward as the straight and honest one than under any boss before him and that includes the Summerdale Scandal era.

This cant be true! CPD has sunk to depths I never thought imaginable.

Don't sit here and whine about Jackson because you guys got caught fucking off. What is said on a daily basis here on this blog? "Be there for each other. BACK EACH OTHER UP." So how were you doing either with your co-workers in the deuce when you were fucking off outside of your own district while you were (admittedly) "down on a job" in the deuce?
You got busted, dude...get over it. I retired two years ago, but still reside in Chicago, working for the County now. During my travels while working, I see a lot of CPD beat CARS and WAGONS frequently, having lunch way out of their areas of patrol. 014th Dist. wagons dining away at Pompei's on Taylor. Cars from 002 and 021 shopping while on duty in the loop. I could go on and on...but the point is, if you're somewhere you shouldn't be, you're of no help to the others in your patrol areas who may need your help. And personnel assigned to the squadrols aren't usually tied down with the BS paper jobs that sit there stacked up waiting for beat cars to be sent to. So you get no sympathy here, pal. I don't agree with Jackson calling the District cmdr to inform them of the transgression, THAT should be handled by the W/C and the assigned Sgt., the Cmdr shouldn't be called on something that minor, but if you're caught, you're caught...man up, and don't let it happen again. If you want to bash Jackson on being one of a small, select group of high up cowards who have sat back in the shadows and watched the CPD slide into the abyss while afraid to do anything to stop it, by all means, do so, they ALL deserve a slap here for that...otherwise, STFU and be where you're supposed to be, in your district, BACKING UP YOUR CO-WORKERS. And for the record, I knew 'Action Jackson' back in the day when he worked a beat car and tact on the southside, and he was more of the police back then than most people on the job today will ever be able to claim.

And does jamesjackson expect work and loyalty from those he heaps shit on? He likely saw the last work the department is likely to get out of those two wagon men. That is how dogs are made. They didn't start out that way.
Doing something that is standard operating procedure and getting your dick stuck in the mud for it is a sure way to lose the hearts and minds of those who you need to stop the mayhem that occurs daily.
Nice work jamesjackson, you fucking incompetent moron.

Hate to say it, but you're wrong office.
Yes, we know how the game is played, but, you did not play the game correctly and got caught. Your loss.
Go to lunch while on the job, get to your spot, order, and then request travel time. When food arrives you then call out for your lunch. That IS how the game SHOULD be played.
Too many of us in the Districts are trying to act like we are in Tact/TRU/MSF - we are not. We cannot have more than 45 mins for lunch, and if you have not figured that out by now, you're not going to garner any sympathy from your fellow Officers on the Beat.

So, you didn't say: were you the driver or the passenger? You got caught, waaaaaaaaaaa!
JJ coming from 011 should know THAT is only way to get lunch is to ride a job on the way there..

Hold on there Officer, I'm just a lowly PO with 14 years on (Most of which in 011) and I worked for Jackson. My experience with the man is that he is a prince and would jump into the fire for his Officers. If Jackson had someone sparred he must have had good reason to do so, like they gave him one or maybe they were smart asses. I wasn't there but neither were you and I'm sure there's more to the story than what you heard. Jackson is nothing like Jfled, Jackson is a Police Officer and always has been.
Bringing discredit to the Department?
Should have JFled's pic next to the rule in the book, if they still issue them.

Jackson is not the one in the wrong. We do still have some rules. We all bend them on occasion, but if you get caught their are consequences. They should get a SPAR if the are caught by Jackson. Everyone on this job feels so damn entitled these days.

limit this = no homicides in 014th district.. due to "the best tact team in the city"
freedom of speech?
Remember one thing, for the exception of 2 boses out of 8 years on, (2 different units/2 disticts) 1 boss went to bat for me, every other (supervisor) on this job is a company man/woman... i don't blame them, however hard work doesn't pay off. Just pull the activity of the recent merit picks.. pull up their whole career. what a joke
This is crazy. In the last few months we get:
The all Spanish promotional list after Lopez gets dumped.
Then we get the all African American promotional list after the reverend meet. (OK Roti was on it too, politics also).
The Sgts list comes out with the Carother's pick and J-Fled's driver that didn't pass the test.
Two and a half years of poor decisions and lack of manpower preceded this. Add the civilians, that don't know the job, making policy. Don't get me started on the Policy group and the favoritism shown there. More than a dozen new gold star positions added to the already top heavy Exempts.
You have a Police Department whose rank and file are completely spent, demoralised and unwillingly to rally for the cause. Jodi needs to go and don't forget the Mayor was the puppeteer.
First Amendment to the Constitution - have they ever heard of it????
Jackson's always been a decent boss, maybe not the best but decent. OTOH, you don't mention just how long the wagon had been down on this alleged job or just how long they were down on the "illegal" lunch, etc. Its okay to call a boss an asshat if he's way out in left field, OTOH when you're way out in left field, don't cry cause you get slapped.

Hey Fuck you and all you dog asses who lay down on jobs. If you condone leaving your district while "on a job" your an IDIOT.
1st of all get your facts straight. Check the car's history on that day. They were "down" in 009 for 45 minutes while they were suppose to be on a job, then went back to 002 WITHOUT going down on lunch. Who was handling their beat while they were dogging it?
Jackson has been nothing but a prince and probably the only one up in the tower standing up for patrol.
Just because some officers do it doesn't make it right. How about changing your location to finish the paper, or ask for travel time. NO, these AssWipes leave a job, leave their district and cry when they get caught.
Oh, and they're in 002!! A district of do nothing crybabies. Try going to a real district like 007, 008 or 011 where they work for a living.
Officer, you make me sick!!!!!
CPD has no money , but can promote a patrolman to a commander
who makes these decisions
lt under federal inv promoted to commander
huberman was a patrolman promoted to ADS
keating a sgt promoted to decputy chief
look in the mirror fellow blueshirts
what are we doing wrong
civilians right from city hall as deputy superintendents
wasn't harris a civilian deputy superintendent before he got in trouble with blago
who the man behind the curtain
we can only hope our leader JFLED is on his biggest undercover assignment for the FBI and can bring down city hall
so jimmy jackson has a hard on for the 002 wagon crew---- the oldest trick in the book, lay down on your last job before lunch and when the meal comes to the table clear the job and take your 30 minutes.... it's been going on for decades--- so if you get caught you are technically wrong and take your lumps like a man.... hopefully jimmy is also looking out for all the people of his command who take a duck everyday or are no shows but no slip in on the a and a's.....

I think the only kicker is that you are surprised that they were reprimanded. I don't think it should have gone past the WC, but they should've just coded their job and gone to lunch. So next time you're on the wagon code your job before you sit down to eat.
why does he have to be an ass you fucked up and got caught man up

Now that is an interesting thought- Suppose JFled is the object of that investigation and is found guilty. Will he spend time in an adjoining cell of Bill Cozzi?

That's how it used to be. Lunch tickets sent to the district for review, inspectors timing your response to jobs, and if you were out of the district while down on a job, you WERE written up.
"Billy Dee" was a two face when he was in 011 as commander too...except if you were part of the hibbidy jibbidy house mouse crew then he would give the "handshake" and snicker it up with them in the hall
Re: James Jackson. The wagon was wrong. They got caught. Get over it and stop being a dog.
Regarding the 2nd district wagon: THAT'S THE WAY IT WORKS, ASSHOLE! Be where you're supposed to be. Jackson did exactly what a boss is supposed to do. Remember Inspectors? If the supervisors did their jobs we'll never need Inspectors again.
Jesus, take the reprimand and get over it - you screwed up.
Watched "The Choirboys" the other day. Funny how a movie about 1977 L.A. could easily be about 2010 Chicago. Same politics, same bosses looking for revenge...could be a great remake.

The D.C. of 025 is working the streets on weekends and he isn't happy. He even went to roll call last Sunday night and said "it's time for us to be the police again. You guys need to stop more people, get contact cards, prevent crime before it happens", etc...
I almost fell out of my chair. So after destroying this honorable department and NOT backing up officers, they want us to be aggressive again? No thank you.
Officers, do contact cards, write parkers, movers, etc.. but don't arrest people. Only arrest people based on a signed complaint.

Jackson has aldermen calling him in the middle of the night for piddly-assed problems because they are too mighty and important to call 9-1-1.
Jackson then calls the district commander, who then calls the watch commander who then calls 9-1-1. Such a waste of time. Do these people know what fools they appear to be.
any knoiwledge about the fire lt. test that was passed out to the bruthas and the feds are interested in.
If that is for real, then anyone at IAD would be obligated to notify the U.S. Attorney that an the C.P.D. was engaged in an illegal First Amendment Rights investigation.
A lawsuit and punitive damages to follow. If this can be found out for sure then the author/cartoonist should be notified that the just hit the jackpot.
Stay safe, This may be our way of getting rid of J-Fed.
I think he should do a recall on the predictive analysis honcho. Total waste of money...didn't people who were the "thinkers" go into R & D and then get an award for whatever new concept they brought to the table? I didn't know they gave out "cmdr and/or director" for this. Everyone who received an award for whatever they brought to the dept and was used by the dept should demand the same.

Way tooo much "official power" & sorely lacking in mental capabilities.
This is what is wrong with all these Merit Promotions.
From Sgt thru Gold Stars, too many dummies promoted beyond their capabilities.
How about a general intelligence test for all exempts prio to promotion.
Say bad things about power but never ridicule them or they will get vindictive.
Loved the comic strip.

IAD, Inspector General, US Attorney,
Hello, is anybody out there?
Sure go after a Lt. That dares to speak out but don't worry about the political hiring scandal that has given Mayor Daley complete control of CPD and CFD for that matter. 30% merit picks are being used to promote the same people again and again. With few exceptions, the command staff we have now is made up of 3 time merit lottery winners. Look at how many Lts and above that are 100% Merit. How is it possble that these are legitimate or remotely legal practices. Daley now owns and controls every aspect of the Chicago Police Department. Promoting a four year wonder (who's only street time consisted of his probationary period) to Director is really the last straw.
How is it possible that none of the agencies set up to investigate this type of corruption can continue to simply look the other way?
Period
The Wagon Crew got caught, They should take their lumps and quit bitching.
Face it, they threw the dice and lost. We've all done it.
Don't blame Jackson.
Back in the old days, Leroy Martin used to drive around with SPAR forms and nail officers on the spot without even getting a Supervisor involved.
The wagon was wrong. They got caught. Get over it and stop being a dog.

Don't you people remember they know where you are, as the gps units that were said to be for officer safety are really to spy on you with ?
You can't bring much more discredit to this department than Shortshanks the failure has along with mis minion J-fraud. If you are afraid for the public to know the truth, then maybe that means you should FIX the problem instead of continuing to cause more destruction. The truth is the truth. It's called freedom of speach. It's an amendment and no one can take that away from you. Hire a good lawyer. This just may pay big.

It's called doing your job so slackers like the two goofs on lunch don't get away with this shit. Never clearing from a job and going on lunch is bullshit so if you do it f you too.
FREEZE, - CARTOON POLICE!
cpd is now amos & andy and
chico & the man show
Its all legit...Fitzgerald is on the short list to become FBI Director..Hmmm,arresting Blago before anyone 'else' could be caught on the wiretap seems to have paid off for him..
"another idiot boss is Assistant Superintendent James Jackson"
First of all, suck it up asshole. You got caught. Deal with it. How long were you down on your job before you went to lunch? Was it a domestic? Was it a job that you spent 5 mintues on and then took 45 minutes to get your lunch location? How many jobs did the other cars in your district handle while you were riding your job? Did your fellow officers have to delay their lunches because of your lazy ass?
Yes, certain rules are overlooked everyday. But we all run the risk of being the one that gets jammed up when someone catches us. You've shown your true character by whining about it though. Blame someone else because YOU messed up and got caught. Are you a Daley? Man up, deal with it and move on. Jackson is a good man and a good boss...I worked for him in 011. Accept responsibilty for yourself. If an hour long lunch isn't enough time for you, you're eating too much anyway.

8/21/2010 02:14:00 PM
Heard about a recently retired boss who supposedly passed this test out to the reverends, but trust me...this will go away. It always just kind of "disappears."
02nd district wagon, you epitomize all that is wrong with this job. Yeah, alot of P.O.'s try to steal a few more minutes for lunch, but guess what, you are taking the chance you might get caught. It is not a "union contract right" to be able to "get over" on lunch time. That is another reason why this great country is slipping down the drain fast; lazy, entitled belligerant overpaid workers who whine and get nasty if they are called on their b.s. By the way, J.J. is and was a great person and officer, something you obviously never were. Remember what happened to the Roman empire when they got lazy, complacent, and weak.
Jackson is a prince you got caught fucking off and were too stupid to cover yourself. Quit bitching and learn how to cover yourself or don't fuck off crybaby
Jackson has always been a good copper, and a fair boss to all. Obviously, things have changed in his world since being selected as the #2 man in the CPD without any real power. Having said that, if he caught you in the wrong, officer, which appears to be the case here, man up, take your punishment, and move on. A big problem with many in this dept. is that when someone genuinely screws up, they want to blame everyone except the man in the mirror. You took a chance to steal some time, it blew up on you. Deal with it.
JJ was a good guy for all the years he's been here.
Obviously, his job, and the powers that go with it, have been pre-empted by 3M and, to some extent, Ernie Brown. I'm sure Jackson isn't happy with that, but he's collecting a big check every two weeks, and like J-Fled, he's learned to simply shut up and be the face in front of City Hall absolute power. He'll be gone soon, and another puppet will feel the hand of the Mayor (and probably 3M) up their ass too. Hopefully, the new guy (or gal, AUNT BEA!) will be well lubed before the initial 'insertion.'
you gotta see the Sunday tribune,,300 plus shot in july should be its own string
another idiot boss is Assistant Superintendent James Jackson. Beware of him. So the wagon in 002 goes to lunch in 009, a neighboring district without clearing from a job. Jackson drives by the wagon and pulls them up on the PDT. They should be in 002 on a job. Were they wrong - yes. But we all know the drill on this including Jackson.

Hey cry baby , you got caught. there used to be a time on this job when you got fucking gigged for no beat tag and couldnt go down on lunch where 2 other cars were already eating, so stop your bitching.
The only way I will ever believe that the City is in tough financial shape is when they start laying off Deputies.

Is this the same wagon that goes over to the Mcdonalds in 009 all the way over on ashland EVERY SINGLE DAY to eat for free b/c the ones in 002 are burned up. Yeah, see them there every day burning our places up. I'm glad he called them on it. No need to call the cmd, but the w/c - sure. How about next time go to one of the 20 mcdonalds in 002? Cheap pricks.
Watched "The Choirboys" the other day. Funny how a movie about 1977 L.A. could easily be about 2010 Chicago. Same politics, same bosses looking for revenge...could be a great remake.

Excellent movie! One of these days, I gotta get it on DVD!
Funny how not much has changed!
Personally I believe the FBI wanted this promotion to occur due to a secret investigation they are working on. Unlike the Blago case where they stopped the investigation, I think the Febs wanted this promotion to fully run its course for a reason we will find out in the near future. Just a guess.
Maybe money or promises were exchanged. This is only a guess because what else can it be?

An inept bloated federal agency.
"That's how it used to be. Lunch tickets sent to the district for review, inspectors timing your response to jobs, and if you were out of the district while down on a job, you WERE written up.
8/21/2010 11:28:00 AM"
VITO ORSENO GOD REST HIS SOUL THREW ALL THE LUNCH TICKETS RIGHT IN THE GARBAGE IN 014. THE WRITE-UP ALLOWED YOU TO MEET W/ THE AREA CHIEF. IF YOU HAD A SGT THAT WROTE THE INFRACTION UP W/O STICKING IT TO YOU, THE CHIEF WOULD SEND YOU ON THE WAY W/ AN ORAL REPRIMAND. NOWADAYS YOU'D BE LOOKING @ 30 PENDING, UNLESS YOU'RE A CLOUT PUKE, THEN YOU'RE PROMOTED. MY HOW
THINGS HAVE CHANGED.
"Jackson is not the one in the wrong. We do still have some rules. We all bend them on occasion, but if you get caught their are consequences. They should get a SPAR if the are caught by Jackson. Everyone on this job feels so damn entitled these days.

OK J-FRAUD NOW THAT YOU FINISHED YOUR 3 HOUR BICEPS ROUTINE ISN'T IT TIME FOR YOUR WEEKLY ASS-WAXING APPOINTMENT?
Busted simply for eating in a different district? It is STANDARD to do so in districts like 2, where there is literally NOWHERE to eat...as long as you clear up as soon as plate hits table... That said, I sense that there is a whole lot more to this story.... I will reserve judgement until I hear more...I can't see a big boss bothering with this unless there is a reason...care to tell us how long they were down? what kind of job they were on? Was the dist in backlog? were there cars waiting on transports? does the PDT show that the wagon was dogging it all night? Please extrapolate...
big deal that the wagon rode out a job into lunch--we all do it or have done it. but i guess unmarked cars and TRU can sit at bourbon street for 60-90 minutes or more.
I worked with Jim Jackson many years ago on the tact team in 004. He was the police you whiney fucks. You want to roll the dice on some fucking off like we all do on occasion? That's ok, but always remember that there is a chance of getting caught. If you get caught, take the hit like a man. Be more careful next time. Dumb fuck.
And remember, when you are dogging jobs, you aren't fucking over J-fed, the mayor, the command staff or anyone but the people who sit around you in roll call. Look in the mirror, bitch.
James Jackson's the police, now put down the burger and try to be it too

Call the commander at home because a car is a mile out of the district on lunch while on another job? What a joke Assistant Superintendent James Jackson is. This guy is as bad as JFLED. This is the No. 2 boss in the CPD folks! Great leadership.

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME.......
this is like the lockup dogs (both male/female) complaining that they don't get enough sleep during the 1st watch...... fill in Supervisors actually come back with stories to our district on how its impossible to hunt these cars down to log them due to these cars hiding out .....GOD forbid someone needs backup!!!!!!!!
listen to the zone if you're working one night...it's amazing how that district is filled with a bunch of do nothings
hey office .....EVERY DOG HAS HIS DAY!!!!!!

I know these guys. They're good wagaon guys and don't pull bullshit. The wagon in 002 usually doubles as a regular beat and the wagon. Being the wagon takes them out of the district on a transport more than the average beat car. So they stopped to grab some food. What's to eat in 002? If you wanna eat tips and links all fucking day, you're golden. They didn't say anything to jimmie jam, from what I heard. I believe that cause these guys aren't the type. Square as can be. Also from what I was told jimmie jam never spoke to them. It's a reprimand, big deal. I think the idea is why didn't he get out of his car and say to the boys, "hey it's busy I know you're grabbing some food, get it to go." End of story, why call the commander at home? He coulnd't handle it right there? Why gig a guy for some shit that I'm SURE he's pulled in his own career? Especially a former hard-charging tact guy with 3 hour lunch sitins and early ducks. The unposted info is that a few days before this the commander was giving the lads and lasses the EB rah-rah speech, she got your back thing and can take care of bullshit beefs if you get them. Don't be afraid to be aggressive and take back the street crap. Yet she couldn't keep these guys out of this bullshit beef? Fuck, give me a day for some shit like this and here's a slip for a few more. Baby fulo time.
Too many of us in the Districts are trying to act like we are in Tact/TRU/MSF - we are not.
Wrong! If those of us in the districts try to act like we are TACT/TRU/MSF we would be down on 2 hour lunches.
Get the facts right.
(sarcasm turned off)
I retired two years ago, but still reside in Chicago, working for the County now. During my travels while working, I see a lot of CPD beat CARS and WAGONS frequently, having lunch way out of their areas of patrol. 014th Dist. wagons dining away at Pompei's on Taylor. Cars from 002 and 021 shopping while on duty in the loop. I could go on and on...but the point is, if you're somewhere you shouldn't be, you're of no help to the others in your patrol areas who may need your help.
Amen! This is why the department is in the crapper! Saints like this one have left the job. My lord, just imagine if we had more coppers on the street like this guy.
Ok, all kidding aside, the problem here is not "manning up" to being busted. I don't know these guys but I'll take a leap of faith that they are there when a fellow copper needs help. The problem is a level playing field. There is none.
How can you take these bosses seriously when the punishments are handed out on such an uneven hand that is boarders on the absurd?
I worked worked for JJ in gangs and he was a good guy. He never messed with you but he was never around. Things change when you go up the ladder. He did throw John Franklin under the bus who was his partner on the job in 004 for years. John Franklin was the cops and when he became a boss he still was the cops and didnt forget where he came from not like JJ. I worked for both guys and liked them both but I'm just telling you guys how it is!

And this comment from the Manhattan PD. Does J-Fled have a brother?
I work for a dept where the chief came from a fed agency. No street experience at all. Sits in his ivory tower and directs his agency like he wants it done. Promotes his buddies/yes men and will hang you out to dry in a minute if it would further his cause.
It is a miserable existence but I still love the job and that's one of the reasons I stay. I would rather do 30 yrs in a patrol car than compromise my integrity for a promotion.

I don't see the problem??
Nice catch Jimmie. Since you want to be an inspector why don't you go from district to district and inspect the great vehicles we drive because motor maintenance doesn't. With all the shootings and mayhem going on you have time to write up a wagon crew on something you have done dozens of time when you were in a beat car.But we know it's different now. You don't want your evaluation to go down. Again nice job.
How can you bring discredit on something that has already been discredited long ago ???
Lighten up and Man up, don't blame J.J. for doing his job when you weren't doing yours.
If myself or my family need the police in an emergency and you are wandering somewhere in another district, or outside the City, I'd hope that J.J. was around, because it's obvious that you wouldn't be. The trouble with many young cops nowadays, and the younger generation in general, is that many think that rules are meant for somebody other than themselves, and thsat "No" doesn't mean No, it means Maybe, or Yes, if they whine long enough. So grow up and do you job, and don't cry like a bitch when you get caught in a minor rule violation, just suck it up and move on, live and learn. Fuckin pussy.....
****++++ 025 Off Topic Post****++++
The D.C. of 025 is working the streets on weekends and he isn't happy. He even went to roll call last Sunday night and said "it's time for us to be the police again. You guys need to stop more people, get contact cards, prevent crime before it happens", etc...
I almost fell out of my chair. So after destroying this honorable department and NOT backing up officers, they want us to be aggressive again? No thank you.
Officers, do contact cards, write parkers, movers, etc.. but don't arrest people. Only arrest people based on a signed complaint.
8/21/2010 12:36:00 PM
You should have asked Commander Velez if you could go from MERIT Sergeant to MERIT Lieutenant to Commander in about a year just like him if you follow his instructions. I'm sure his hard work at stopping crime MERITED all those promotions.

Turn your brain on, and leave the sarcasm alone, asshat!
Your "Prince" Jimmy sparred Lt. Farrel TWICE when he was Commander of Area One.
Farrel. Twice. Yep.
Ya'll got to know by now, once they get the white shirt on, they are company people. They could have been the biggest dogs around in a blue shirt or a dic, but once they are a supervisor, now it's different. It's the little man power thing.
I've seen it with 2 merit (dic and sgt) promotions on someone who is still on the job. CLOUT can do wonders, even when you flash it with your license plate.
Why all the crying over this lunch issue. No decent place to eat in your district? Well too goddam bad! I worked at some jobs before the department and you had to bring your lunch. Make a sandwhich, bring some soup in a thermos, reheat something in the microwave, so waht? Do what most of America does. If you are fortunate enough to work in a good district with good eating places that is great. But, Jesus, stop being a baby. One issue is the department should give every station a decent dining area. So a wagon from 002 goes to nine and is still down on a job? Thata probably makes for an extra long lunch. No sympathy from me. It is a good paying job with benefits in a tough recession.
I suggest you read the book "The Chiorboys" by Joseph Wambaugh. It is an excellent book on a serious subject full of blak humor which only a cop could write. The movie was a disgrace and, I thought an insult to the police. I think if you are the real police you should read all of his books they are excellent and you will be able to identify with all of them. He tells it like it is.
@ 8/21/2010 03:09:00 AM
Thank you for proving to the readers that the CPD does indeed have Idiots wearing a badge.
This department is full of blue and white shirts that have a sense of "Self Entitlement" that would make Nixon sick with disgust.
I see coppers flash badges to get discounts....to avoid Tickets I see them drop their ANOV books on the Dash and wrap a Hat band around their rear view mirror.
Its embarrassing to the Police Officers that actually are out there daily doing their job and putting it on the line, when I read some whiner bitch about a Commander that Sparred a wagon crew that was playing the system and were caught at it.
I can't wait...5 more years and I have 10 on the job....you can color my ass gone.
PO in 19
'Your "Prince" Jimmy sparred Lt. Farrel TWICE when he was Commander of Area One.'
Nothing personal against retired Capt. Farrell, but he did disobey direct orders from the CMDR of A/1, which was JJ. He's fortunate he was ONLY SPAR'D. Of course, Farrell being tight with Phat Phil, Jimmy was lateraled over to 011. But Jimmy was right in taking action against Farrell.
'Why gig a guy for some shit that I'm SURE he's pulled in his own career? Especially a former hard-charging tact guy with 3 hour lunch sitins and early ducks.

I know you didn't know JJ when he worked tact, officer, so I'll tell you...JJ busted his ass every day.
He and his tact partner brought in a wagon filled with arrests every fucking day, I kid you not.
004 was jumping like a MF, and JJ and his partner were always in the mix, hot cars, burglars, UUWs,
armed robberies, wanted homicide offenders that Area 2 couldn't seem to find, they did it all. You might have peeped them eating in the tact office of 004 between typing out numerous arrest reports or preparing a search warrant, if you were lucky, but the bad guys in 004 really feared their presence back then. I used to work the desk then, and bad guys would call the desk and ask if Franklin and Jackson were working, so they'd have their spots shut down before they saw them. Back in those days, they were the police. Not anymore out there like that today, with good reason, but those two cleaned up the streets when they were out there, and a lot of us who worked around them back then were glad to see them out there, because we knew if we needed help, they would be there and take everybody who needed to be taken straight to jail! Lots of people would call the desk and complain about them because they didn't play with those drug dealing punks and wannabe bangers, but we also got a lot of calls from residents of 004 who thanked them for cleaning up their neighborhoods and putting drug dealers in prison.

so jimmy jackson has a hard on for the 002 wagon crew---- the oldest trick in the book, lay down on your last job before lunch and when the meal comes to the table clear the job and take your 30 minutes.... it's been going on for decades--- so if you get caught you are technically wrong and take your lumps like a man.... hopefully jimmy is also looking out for all the people of his command who take a duck everyday or are no shows but no slip in on the a and a's.....

LET THEM EAT CAKE
are the policemen assigned to the mayors detail still considered coppers. do you lose you conscience working for daley. revoke their fop rights. Wagonman
But Jimmy was right in taking action against Farrell.
Ok, I've heard enough. I'll give him him some credit for being the police and everything but JJ wouldn't make a pimple on John Farrell's ass. Sparring the wagon crew is fine. The emotional tantrum was unnecessary and uncalled for. If he really had a PDT he could've told 210 that the wagon was in a restaurant, out of the district, down on another job and that should've been the end of it.
Get rid of ALL of them. We would be so unworthy to have Farrell as our superintendent. It, truly and honestly, might actually mean the CPD could come out of the shadows it's been in for years.
God Bless John Farrell.

By your writing style it was also you that wrote the thousand word essay of JJ flying high above the 4th Dist in his cape & spandex and then swooping down on evil doers before returning to his fortress of solitude to eat a ham sandwich and process his 200 daily felony part 1's.
I'll tell you something dipshit, SuperJJ couldn't carry Farrell's dirty socks. Farrell routinely took time for underlings that fucked up. He stepped forward and claimed the fuck-up. I don't think he was too worried about SuperJJ sparring him. He had more bad time than you've got medical days left to abuse. SuperJJ could have learned a few things about how to get people to work from John Farrell. John Farrell didn't have your back because he was standing in front of you taking your bullshit.
By the way, Farrell wasn't tight with Cline. He applied for Captain 3 times before the "fat one" gave it to him. Farrell had more time on the job and made Lt long before Phil. There was some friction there on Phil's part. Phil was the one that moved him out of Area 4 so he could put his guy Keough in there. It was a nice "fuck you" to John. I doubt SuperJJ was moved because of Farrell. Maybe the 11th District just needed someone to strike fear into the hearts of all criminals? I'm sure they were calling the desk from all the dope spots to find out if it was SuperJJ's night to work the street. I would tell you to blow me but you're busy with a mouth full of SuperJJ.

First Amendment to the Constitution - have they ever heard of it????
8/21/2010 09:09:00 AM
-------------------------------
The Supreme Court had a split ruling (5-4) where speech made in the context of being an employee rather than a citizen was NOT protected under the First Amendment (Ceballos v Garcetti).
This decision should concern every public employee who decides to speak out. The City will likely use this case precedent to censure or terminate this gentleman.
The Conservative majority ruled in favor of the employer in this case (LA District Attorney's Office).
At least I liked the Supreme Court's decision regarding the Second Amendment allowing gun ownership.
I see coppers flash badges to get discounts....to avoid Tickets I see them drop their ANOV books on the Dash and wrap a Hat band around their rear view mirror.
True enough.
I was given a parking complaint once, no big deal. Car on a fire hydrant. Show up and instead of a car on a fire plug, I find a mobile ad for the FOP. This guy at least 6 FOP stickers on his windshield. Not 1 but 2 FOP medallions on the back (one on the rear plate and the other inside his rear window), a FOP Kleenex box cover (I didn't even know they existed) on the back board. And for the kicker, he placed his parker book on his front passenger side window ( he also had his star number written on it).
By your writing style it was also you that wrote the thousand word essay of JJ flying high above the 4th Dist in his cape & spandex and then swooping down on evil doers before returning to his fortress of solitude to eat a ham sandwich and process his 200 daily felony part 1's.
Hey, I think I saw him at COMICCON!
I posted the original comment about Farrell getting sparred by Jackson.
To the first response that Farrell some how had it coming and should have received something more. Go fuck yourself. If you take the side of Jackson then you don't know and have never worked for Farrell.
The reason he was the best was that he would cover you even IF HE DIDN'T LIKE YOU.
I have witnessed that first hand.
How many bosses can you say that about?
For all you apologists for Jackson that would rather have him than John Farrell. Well you got him.
If you worked for Lt. Farrell and didn't like him there is truly something wrong with you.

If the City relies on the SCOTUS decision in Garcetti v. Ceballos 547 US 410, in violating the First Amendment rights of citizen John Andrews, they will find that it does not apply.
Citizen Andrews, who happened to be a police officer, will prevail.

Yes...READ “The Choirboys”
The movie was so bad and off the mark that Sgt. Joe Wambaugh LAPD took out full page ads in "Variety", the show business trade publication downing it and asked to take his name off the credits.
Stay Safe. If you want to read about the war on our southern border, and the human cost to cops read Wambaugh's "Lines and Shadows".
'To the first response that Farrell some how had it coming and should have received something more. Go fuck yourself. If you take the side of Jackson then you don't know and have never worked for Farrell.'
It's not about 'taking sides.' The boss tells you not to let your manpower go lower than at a certain level, then you don't do it. If you choose to do it, and the boss is aware, you know there will likely be some repercussions.
It happened; I doubt either party has thought about it much in the years since it occurred...so why keep harping here about it?
