"Street Talk" Suggestions

What if those "chosen" or "volunteered" just show up and say nothing? Let Ernie give his speech, then sit there and don't give him or his minions a word.

Or maybe have a whole bunch of KMA old timers tell Ernie exactly what the problem is. Manpower, Manpower and more Manpower. Honest to pete, what a waste of time this is.

Anyone that thinks these clowns at 35th will listen to suggestions of lowley P.O's and Sgt.'s should be working shoveling shit out of a coo coo clock. If the brass can't figure out by now why this dept. SUCKS then they should be doing the same thing. It's easy, WE NEED MANPOWER!!! Stop taking coppers away from the districts to make more BS units! The whole meeting is BS too. Any time you have hand picked coppers and their names you got nothing. No one trusts 35th St. so the meeting is worthless. Along with poor morale I guess they can't figure why no one trusts them either. That's kinda important.

Remember --

Ground rules for disrupting the consensus process (Delphi Technique) — when facilitators want to steer a group in a specific direction.

1) Always Be Charming. Smile, be pleasant, be courteous, moderate your voice so as not to come across as belligerent or aggressive.

2) Stay Focused. If at all possible, write your question down to help you stay focused. Facilitators, when asked questions they don't want to answer, often digress from the issue raised and try to work the conversation around to where they can make the individual asking the question look foolish, feel foolish, appear belligerent or aggressive. The goal is to put the one asking the question on the defensive. Do not fall for this tactic. Always be charming, thus deflecting any insinuation, innuendo, etc, that may be thrown at you in their attempt to put you on the defensive, but bring them back to the question you asked. If they rephrase your question into an accusatory statement (a favorite tactic) simply state, "that is not what I stated, what I asked was… (repeat your question)." Stay focused on your question.

3) Be Persistent.If putting you on the defensive doesn't work, facilitators often resort to long drawn out dissertations on some off-the-wall and usually unrelated, or vaguely related, subject that drags on for several minutes – during which time the crowd or group usually loses focus on the question asked (which is the intent). Let them finish with their dissertation/expose, then nicely, with focus and persistence, state, "but you didn't answer my question. My question was… (repeat your question)."

Remember…

always be charming,

stay focused, and

be persistent.

Never, under any circumstance, become angry. Anger directed at the facilitator will immediately make the facilitator "the victim." This defeats the purpose which is to make you the victim. The goal of the facilitator is to make those they are facilitating like them, alienating anyone who might pose a threat to the realization of their agenda. [People with fixed belief systems, who know what they believe and stand on what they believe, are obvious threats.]

Great stuff! You're not even supposed to know the "Delphi Technique" exists -- let alone how to counter it.

He did this shit when he was at ocd mostly with vice. He ended every meeting with needing more "diversity within the unit". Guess who got launched and guess who came in.

If you have a good idea, he will disagree with it only to insult you in the presence of others, but implement it as his idea later on.

Do not speak. Do not look him in the eye. He will infer anything you say or do as an insult to his super-human intelligence. Then you will spontaneously combust.

Send all babes in costume. It will be much more fun for him. And us.

Two major crimes in 16th district. A aggravated battery outside of Taft High School and a home invasion in sauganash. And they want to pull officers from low crime districts? 16 district is the size of a suburb and response time is horribly slow due to the size of beats. Soon response time will be worse. Time to defend the family. Carry off duty and train family members to defend the house. I wish 16th district had a alderman with balls to speak up.

I love the comparison. A true leader would rally the troops and provide direction. Brown and Weiss are lost and seek help from street officers? Street officers should be receiving guidance from them. If Patton was alive he would slap both with his gloves. Cowards belong on the front line. Patton had no patience with cowards. Gotta run.

A few years back, they used a machete. What now?

Just because that school has washrooms doesn't mean that a lot of the students use them before the ride home. Why bother? Anyone's backyard -- or front lawn -- in the area is an acceptable substitute. #1 or #2, they've learned 'em both.

Counts towards a diploma, I guess. Good thing we've "leveled the playing field."

Tell Ernie that the cops (and firemen and so on) who live in our neighborhood are taking this NOT to Jody or Ernie but to our Aldermen.

We are telling our elected officials that Jody & Company and Ernie have ruined the department and as voters, residents and citizens we want them out and police back in our neighborhoods. We are putting pressure on Aldermen to put the pressure on them to give us the protection we pay for.

As a matter of fact he was known for personally talking to his intelligence officers rather than relying on written reports. That's partly because he was dyslexic, but he believed that, "Intelligence is like eggs, the fresher the better."

When the Aldermen of the districts we live in start asking Ernie, why am I hearing that you are pulling the police from my ward.

When our elected officials say to E.B., my constituents (resident cops and their neighbors) are up in arms over how you and Jody are fucking over the department then he will listen.

Of course the Alderman has to share the blame for allowing the department to be cut down so Shorty can spend the money on his pals.

Man With Hepatitis C Gets 2 yrs. for Spitting On Cop


October 30, 2010

A Chicago man with hepatitis C who spit in the mouth of a Burns Harbor, Ind., police officer was sentenced to two years in prison.

Frank S. Vasquez, 56, was sentenced Thursday on a felony battery to a law enforcement officer and misdemeanor driving while intoxicated.

Vasquez was handcuffed and his ankles manacled, and he was wearing a spit mask after spitting at officers when he began kicking and damaging the back seat of a squad car in September 2009.

He dislodged the mask and spit at an officer who so far has tested negative for hepatitis.
