Street Talk

Once again, from the "brilliant minds" running the Department, we have the latest version of "Town Hall" meetings:

BOP_ 10-241[1]

Everyone remembers what happened last time someone tried to solicit input from the front line troops? The bartender was taking notes, at least one officer lost their assignment, we got lots of "umm...," "oooh...," and "we'll look into that and get back to you" answers, none of which resulted in actual change or actual addressing of concerns.

Expect more of the same.

Why is no overtime granted? That is what one of the lines reads as. If I have to go in early and work midnights. Is this not a violation of the contract? Since I am not free to come and go as I please.

WOW ANOTHER SCAM TO STEAL IDEAS!

ALL THE EXEMPTS WITH DEGREES AND THEY STILL CANT FIGURE THEIR ASS FROM A HOLE IN THE GROUND.

HOW ABOUT CUELLOS WAGON WITH A CAMERA ON TOP!

HOW ABOUT LUBERMAN GIVING GHETTO PARENTS CASH TO TAKE THEIR KIDS TO SCHOOL.

HOW ABOUT RIC FLAIR STEALING ALL THE MANPOWER AND THEN MAKING 1 BAGGER ARREST.


WHY DO THEY NEED UNIFORM FOR THE MEETING? MAYBE THEY SHOULD TEACH THE WHITE SHIRTS WHAT A BRAINSTORMING SESSION REALLY IS.
AND IT ISNT WEARING A UNIFORM AND STEALING IDEAS.

WHY NOT GET ALL THE MERIT PICKS TOGETHER AND ASK THEM SINCE THEY ARE THE BEST FROM THE DEPARTMENT.

Very small number of po's to attend these "talks". Only 15 pos and 5 sgts. Sounds like very personal brain picking session. Squad i got "on view", won't be able to make it to the 35th st "interview".

Please tell me this order has been receded already. How many times and how load do we have to say that lack manpower is is the number one issue? Don't pretend like you would fix things if you only knew what the problem is. You know, you created many of the problems, and you have heard what we are saying. If I get picked to go I swear I won't say anything other than hire more police. It will be my answer for everything. How are you?-Hire more police.
What's your name?-Hire more police.
What beat do you work?-Hire more police.

Well at least the empty holster suckholes in R&D will be earning their "duty availability" for a few days and those of us assigned to the first watch won't have to disrupt our sleep schedules to participate in another inane meeting which will accomplish absolutely nothing.

DANGER! This is clearly a trap of some kind, or JW is working on building his resume for future employment.

Hand-picked officers and sergeants? This sounds like it is going to be a conference of "YES" people.

Also, beware of the admin. sergeant who is running this charade of a parade. He is a "YES" man and will not take kindly to anyone who crosses his line in the sand.

Again, BEWARE and proceed with caution here.

Also note the start times for first watch. two hours before the normal start so they don't have to pay you overtime. make sure you don't drive your own car to headquarters--get the squad car and apologize for being late, or fill out the OT slip!

You hit the nail on the head 2CC! I was at the last Town hall meeting and the PO who got screwed worked the same watch with me and we met at the meeting. A whole lot of "I don't knows", "We'll get back to you" and any truly serious comments were given nasty comments by the Bartender and her taking notes of who you are. J-Fled even lied to us concerning William Cozzi. It was a joke and everyone I know left with the impression that we had all wasted our time. We all went with an open mind and hoped that this Sup would really hear us out. Only to be disappointed, treated suspiciously, and found to have wasted our time.

If they want input, all they need to do is read SCC. In fact, I'm pretty sure if they truly want input, SCC would allow them one or two posts a week to get some outstanding feedback from the people who KNOW so the people WITHOUT A CLUE can run the Police Department.

As ridiculous as this order initially sounds, I have it on good authority that EB has reached out to numerous lower ranking commanders for ideas on how to turn things around. If he's open to suggestions from the cmdrs who have their ears and eyes closest to what's illing this Dept., he just might be the one to give a serious listen to the rank & file. I know, we've all been lied to in the past by Weis, Bea, and others, and I know EB's reputation ain't the best, but he might be willing to work just that much harder in an effort to turn things around....think about it: Weis, (hopefully!) Masters, Aunt Bea, Jackson, Peterson, and an assortment of other sworn & civilian political hacks may well be sent packing early next year. I'm willing to bet that Brown (for whatever reason) will remain; it's in his interest to try to turn things around, as he likely will have a shelf life of a few more years here. I'm of the opinion to 'wait and see' after these meetings have occurred, and see what changes will be made, hopefully for the better. If nothing happens, then what have we lost?
Initiative, morale & leadership are already in the toilet. The only place for this Dept. to go is UP.

The first sign of trouble is P.O.'s and Sgt.'s are being forced to attend, otherwise no one would go and they know that. Everyone knows what a JOKE this is! Like it really matters what anyone says unless it's upsetting to Ernie and J-Fled. Then look out! These clowns at 35th know that they are hated and that they killed morale. Your best bet is to sit and say nothing. If they don't like what you said your name will be on their secret list. EB is gunning for Supt. and don't get in his way.

"HOW ABOUT (school superintendent Huberman) GIVING GHETTO PARENTS CASH TO TAKE THEIR KIDS TO SCHOOL."

--10/27/2010 12:21:00 AM

Here's what a Superintendent of Schools used to be in this town --

"No account of Chicago's industrial and cultural leaders is complete without the story of Ella Flagg Young...she came here from Buffalo when she was 13 years old. At the age of seventeen, she was teaching in Chicago's public schools. This was in 1862, when the young men of our country had left the school rooms for the battlefields of the Civil War.

"Mrs. Young served Chicago schools for more than fifty years. During this time she worked as a teacher, a principal, head of the normal school, and, in 1909, superintendent of schools.

"Teachers and students in Chicago owe a great deal to Ella Flagg Young...she was among the first to advocate vocational training...she resigned...as superintendent in 1915..."

--Chicago, by Division of Curriculum Development, Chicago Public Schools, 1951

Imagine! A public official who knew something about her job -- not a "manager" being switched from socket to socket like a light bulb, which is the Daley way.

Mrs. Young's schools did not require the presence of a score of policemen before they could even open in the morning. They did not produce wild animals -- preverbal creatures hanging out of bus windows going "Huuuh-uuh!" and making obscene gestures to passers-by. Nor were "after-school programs" needed as replacements for the family.

The Daleys have so much to be proud of.

Ever hear of the "Delphi Technique?" This is used everywhere today; it has already been decided that postal rates are going to be increased, or that property taxes are going to go up, or that bus routes are going to be eliminated -- and then they announce a "period for public comment" during which meetings are held at which people can yell and scream and "vent" to no avail.

"The Delphi Technique...has taken on an all new meaning and purpose. In Educating for the New World Order by B. Eakman, the reader finds reference upon reference for the need to preserve the illusion that there is "lay, or community, participation (in the decision-making process), while lay citizens were, in fact, being squeezed out."

Fuck these fools!

Haven't they had enough yet?

The smartest exempts ever in the history of CPD and they keep rehashing this "c'mon, come meet with us and share your ideas, we want your honest input."

These muthafuckahs have outsmarted themselves... Street Talk, Town Hall Meetings, Shake The Magic 8-Ball, Consult The Oracle Skull or whatever the high-flyin' fuck they want to call this stupid shit... The poot-butts allegedly in charge have had no answers and have shit on themselves from the strenuous efforts to escape and evade any and all manner of true accountability for their actions.

Any Policeman who darkens the doorway at this dumb shit is as big an idiot as the ones hosting it.

The things that really need to be addressed and corrected will result in them doubly shitting themselves to avoid discussing.

Kind of like the rumors about the CAR(bomb) meetings when District & Area level exempts were threatened with ugly if they said anything about depleted manpower.

Viva Hate...
