Bratton Luncheon Speaker Slams Weis

Sneed has an anecdote from a luncheon almost a month ago and Weis pretty much has egg all over his face:
  • Sneed is told Chicago Police Supt. Jody Weis' work wardrobe got strafed again.

    • To wit: Weis, a former career FBI agent who drew flak for wearing a Chicago Police uniform, was attending an event honoring former N.Y.C. police chief Bill Bratton --when a luncheon speaker lauded former Chicago Police Supt. O.W. Wilson, who had also never been a Chicago cop, for not wearing a police uniform.

    • The buckshot: "You could have heard a pin drop," said a Sneed source who was at the Sept. 21 Illinois Academy of Criminology luncheon at the Union League honoring Bratton with the O.W. Wilson award.

    • The upshot: When queried later about posing for a picture with Bratton and former Chicago top cops LeRoy Martin, Matt Rodriguez, Terry Hillard and Phil Cline, Weis, who was in a rush out the door, reportedly declined by stating: "I'm too busy."

That one is going to leave a mark. We guess it doesn't matter that coppers have been saying the same thing going on three years now. But if an outsider who can't be controlled by Shortshanks echos our criticisms, he only has to have it suppressed for three weeks by a compliant media.

Gotta Run!

UPDATE: The article is not specific if it was Bratton who slapped J-Fled around. Regardless, it wasn't any of the current sheep wearing gold stars and probably not one of the previous supes.

How dim does a person have to be, that he persists in wearing the Superintendent's 'quasi-military' uniform, after he's been told umpteen times that the troops find it insulting, demeaning and just plain inappropriate?

He claims it's okay because three years ago the FOP president told him it was okay.

So, if that conversation even happened, he isn't decent enough to cease and desist, or adaptive enough to alter his behavior? Well, that, too, speaks volumes about his lack of leadership ability.

At the risk of being crude, What an asshole. Weis has his head so far up his ass it's not funny. I bet his fed buddies are sucking up to the CPD elite in order to try to keep their jobs under a new administration. I could just see it now, that douche bag Brust patting Weis on the back and saying "Good luck, Jody, you'll find another job." Well to Hell with them all. They fucked up the CPD at the behest of Daley and now the FBI's reputation is worse than it was before. The legit FBI agents - yes, there are some - know the damage Weis has done and can't wait for him to fade into obscurity. Too bad he can't be in prison with Hanson.

Bratton wore the LAPD uniform while he served there. Few complained since he had been a street cop earlier in his career.

I personally don't have much of a problem with Weis wearing the CPD uniform. I do have a problem with him being an incompetent suckhole of biblical proportion.

Hell he could alternate between a bikini and a tutu and I wouldn't care if he was competent.

Although, I would recommend he wax his unfrozen caveman head before wearing such an outfit.

I was at that luncheon and I posted my comments previously in this blog. The speaker was Phil Cline. The lunch was to honor Bratten and give him the OW Wilson award. Cline was reading the bio of Wilson and he made the comment, that this successful supertendent, who was a police officer in california, came to Chicago, and he never wore the uniform of the CPD. It clearly was a shot at Weiss. Leroy Martin, Terry Hillard and Matt Rodriguez were also there. The organization which sponsored the event was sthe Illinois Academy of Criminology and it was held at the Union League Club.

Just tell the U.S. Attorney everything you about the Daley Crime Family and they might actually make you the Star Witness and bring the whole thing down and be able to get on the same lecture circuit as a real hero or General. Instead you'll just be a a smear in the history books - someone who oversaw the DEMISE of the CPD. They'll remark how you were universally hated by your own troops and despised for wearing a uniform you had NO BUSINESS to put on.

Bob Roman has been nothing but a Daley family political HACK his entire career. It's particularly OUTRAGEOUS that he would come back to the Dept. after his retirement as a Sgt. and be placed in a civilian COMMANDER position, something he has no education or training for. It's also become obvious to all that he's really in that position to meritoriously promote whoever City Hall tells him to. A waste of a position, and the high salary that comes with it.
When it's all said and done as Weis hurriedly walks out of 3510 for the last time in a few short months, Roman was just a politically appointed, high paid LEECH on the CPD budget for the past 3 years.
One can only hope a new Mayor and Supt. cuts these leeches out of our dept. asap for some true fiscal savings.

As many as the imagination can come up with.

Remember when they "did away" with the watch secretary position? In 024 all that changed was the listing on the sheets. The watch secretary morphed into a foot post whose foot beat was the exact dimensions of the old watch secretary's office.

And the front office? Well, we have 1 time keeper ( female P.O. ), 1 assistant time keeper ( 1 female P.O. ), and 2 others ( both female P.O.'s ). What the last 2 do is any body's guess.

Caps office, on days, has 1 Sgt and at least 2 P.O.s that I know of. The same office on 3rd watch also has 1 Sgt. and at least 2 P.O.'s. Should be interesting to watch who gets the axe, 2nd watch or 3rd.

1 P.O. is squirreled away in a side office. What her job title is is unknown but her duties consist of inputting the info on contact cards into a computer. She also doubles as watch secretary, oops, I mean she fills that "foot post" when the primary officer is RDO.

So, that's 10 P.O.'s that could be outside, answering calls. Divided among the 3 watches would give you at least 3 P.O.'s to help out. Not much help, but then again, an extra body or 2 on a watch doesn't hurt.

Guys, with all due respect, we are not the ones that screwed up the pension fund. The blame for that lies with the state of Illinois and the notoriously corrupt Daley regime. We signed up for this job with the agreement that we would have the existing pension in place when we retired. The state of Illinois failed to require that the city properly fund our pension fund and the Daley regime misused the money in the pension fund by investing with entities owned by the Daley family. If there is any modification to our pensions then you can have my star and shield and I will go to a department that honors written agreements.

Or, I buy a ticket and hire a stripper who goes into her (or his) act just as he starts his speech.

And all the place settings say, "Remember Joe Airhardt" and "Free Bill Cozzi" ( but hopefully Bill is free A.S.A.P.).

There should be an exposé of his Golden Parachute, I'd love to see that crashed.

To see him served with subpoenas on stage for some of the damages he has done to people and the department.

***********************************

Eat shit with your pension busting bullshit here buddy! No one here's going to sign onto your bullshit attempts to do management's job for them.

State laws will be envoked in every legal way possible to prevent benefits from diminishing.

Try reading the laws, they're written expressly to prevent ANY dmininished benefits to those already employed.

You want NEW HIRES to work under a two tier system, go right ahead. What you're trying to claim as some kind of "membership vote" is NOT a vote or offer of any kind. What it IS is the city's failure to alter dates in a previous agreement, which upon their deliberate refusal to change the dates, will create your two tier system.

Those of us who're already on the job aren't about to willingly accept any diminished benefits of any kind, so go fuck yourself.

Hey, Pesky Fly on the Wall:

I've known Bob Roman for decades and found him to be one of the best. In his position as a PO, Sergeant, and Exempt he has gone out of his way to help many navigate the confusing twists and turns of the Department bureaucracy. If you have a specific issue, please tell us. Otherwise, I'll just write it off to a personality problem

10/10/2010 10:25:00 PM

You must be either naive, stupid or indebted. Bob talks nice to you but will stab you in the back. I have to give him credit for masterfully weaving his way through several administration, even when he got dumped out of the building; he was able to come back and get promoted. He has played the game by keeping secrets, making deals and terminating his competition. So you have to be a fool to think this guy is one of the best. He would leave you out to dry if it benefited him.

The COLA is something that need to be passed by the Illinois General Assemble every few years and they need to adjust the " born after date" The COLA is not something that all retired officers are entitled to. The state assembly can deny this to others, if they choose, but I doubt they will. The state is not the one who underfunded our pension, it is the city. There are multiple pension funds in the state, all covered by seperate state laws, but funded by different govt. bodies.Confusing, yes, but that is how things are.In the scale of best to worst pension benefits, CPD ranks last among funds. The Best? Illinois General Assembly, then Judges, then school teachers, then state police, then all officers outside of chicago, then us.Oh, ya! Don't forget the alderman and the members of various boards, they are way ahead of chicago police officers. Just about everyone has 80% , some base don the last year of salary. Then you have to look into how they defind salary. It could mean a the cost of a compa ny car, vacation buy back, etc. None of which apply to us.And, most people get 3% cola each year. We get 3% of our first pension check, which is set fo life. There used to be a 30% cap on raises at one time, which was taken off a few years ago. Who knows what will happen next year after the elections. But, you can bet something will happen and it might not be favorable to us. I do not want to see any working copper have their benefits diminished. You earn it every day to roll on those mean sreets.

Do you think he's going to actually read it? Those beady little peepers looking at your e-mail? The gears turning inside that big melon? Getting all irritated with some roid-rage?

He's going to see the originator, say "that fucking goof" then delete it without even looking at it.

At this point, even Helen Keller could get the idea that no one likes him. It’s not that hard. And there is NO way he’s that dense.

He’s going to finish out his contract, collect his $310,000 for the year, add it to the $620K for the other two years, and say “Fuck you” to us in some smarmy way as he heads out the door. He’s laughing at you, me and the 9,500 other sworn fools that aren’t smart enough to get paid for two jobs while only doing one with damn near a Million Dollars as he plays with his cats.

Meanwhile, we are going to do the work of two officers, and not even get paid enough for one. We are going to wait till the next regime comes in, and see what that brings. Hopefully it’s someone that has been the Police.

I personally don't have much of a problem with Weis wearing the CPD uniform. I do have a problem with him being an incompetent suckhole of biblical proportion.
********
I have a problem with him wearing the uniform. His statement that he spoke to UNION LEADERS (plural) and they had no issue, I would like to know exactly which UNION LEADERS he spoke to, my poll of several POLICE UNION LEADERS was that he had NOT SPOKEN TO ANY OF THEM.... If the FOP pres. told him it was fine, I would like to hear it from him!

Why would he choose to put the uniform on? There is absolutely NO REASON for it, other than to satisfy his own ego! Or because he thinks the uniform is "cool"?? who knows.

We need to fight for our pension rights. Annual cost of living raises are standard in police pensions across the United States. Chicago Police officers have earned no less. Compounding cost of living increases, based on the consumer price index, are also built into Social Security. In years of high inflation, Social Security receipents are protected. Haven't we earned that protection as well after a career of service.

Two-faced Bob Roman is now talking shit about Masters, saying it's all his fault this Department is fucked up.

10/10/2010 08:56:00 PM

Don't know a thing about Roman but I can tell you all with 100% accuracy that Masters is a much bigger problem than Weis. I have interaction with many exempts and this is a common refrain amongst them.

Weis may have never lived down the Cozzi debacle, but had Pat Daley stayed Chief of Staff and Masters never entered the picture, things on this Department would be radically different. Can't say if it would be better, but most of the nitwit ideas have come from Masters and his lackeys.

Rumor has it that Rahm respects Masters and is on a friendly basis with him. Doesn't bode well for our future. Not at all...

Another well crafted, thoughtful response that neatly avoids answering the question. First the usual round of name calling (you forgot my personal favorite, "asshat")followed by a series of ex cathedra generalizations that offer no evidence, but must be true because you say so. When off duty out in public, please keep your occupation to yourself. We have enough image problems.

Could possible future 'Mayor" Emanuel replace the WEISel with
3M for Supt? Even if Emanuel becomes Mayor and proposes this, one would hope that a new City Council would not let this pass.
But I wouldn't doubt that Rahm would make every attempt to pass off Masters as a 'voice of logic' within the CPD who didn't make any of the more blatantly stupid decisions here, even though we all know that's exactly what 3M did...but so far, he has borne no criticism at all for the sorry state of affairs that exists within the CPD now. It seems like the mainstream press has avoided bringing this carpetbagger into the spotlight for what he is, a punk with a Harvard Law degree who used leverage from Daddy to get the job he has today. Masters has even less business calling himself a manager of a major city PD than J-Fled did.

And remember all, please, who installed Masters there he is.

That would be the anti-christ, the devil incarnate, evil walking the earth, Beelzebub himself, richard m daley, head of the largest organized crime family in Chicago.

Emmanuel is merely a branch to another tribe of that crime family. Think of a more evil and sinister daley, a younger, more intelligent and better educated daley with lots more energy and a better imagination for iron fisted rule.

We are fucked if Emmanuel gets in. Mark that day down, if it should come to pass, the darkest of dark clouds will cover the city for another 20 years.

Patrick Fitzgerald won't possibly live long enough to take them all down. If he hasn't brought daley down by now, well, it seems like he isn't going to.

I am not a Time Keeper or Citation Clerk. When you fill out a mover, a parker or an ANOV, do you use always use a ticket writing machine or a ball point pen? Even if you used a machine somebody has to keep an eye on it, would you trust it to run itself?

Same thing for those little yellow slips for O.T. or Time Due. Some people have earned those positions through years of service. Maybe when you get a little older you will understand a little more.

Where the hell do you work? Cause where I'm at there are only a handful of automated ticket writers, half of those don't work at all and the other half only work half the time. So that leaves us writing handwritten tickets. As far as timekeeping goes, how is it gonna get input into the clear system if you don't have a timekeeper to do it. The district manager postion, I agree can be eliminated. I'm pretty sure the district secretary can properly fill out an order form for supplies. Since that's all she does anyway.
