Better Call by Carol
Braun’s comments came at a news conference announcing her public safety platform. If elected, she said she would fire Police Supt. Jody Weis.
Braun, who comes from a police family, said Chicago’s rank-and-file officers have “never been more demoralized” by serving under Weis, a former high-ranking FBI official in Philadelphia
She said she would select a new top cop from within the department.
“We need to start with people who are already here working for the Chicago Police Department . . . that would better understand the communities and the neighborhoods, but what the officers have to deal with. That I think is the missing ingredient,” Braun said.
“The fact that the superintendent is not from here, doesn’t understand this city, having to learn it, get a guide book out. You need to get someone that knows Chicago to run the Chicago Police Department.”
Weis issued a statement disputing Braun’s take on his leadership, department morale and the results of his tenure — “two years of straight month-to-month reductions in nearly every category of crime.”
“Hyperbole does not get the mission done. More than 30 years in the military and law enforcement have taught me that it is results that count. I am proud of the results that we have had...and I am most proud of the efforts made by the members of the Chicago Police Department, Weis said in the statement.
“Anyone that questions their morale is questioning their dedication to serve and protect...and has clearly not been on the streets with them, or seen them working as I have.”
Keep believing the hype folks.

Unbelievable! This guy shits the bed if we fart too loud!
Can you smell what the JFled is cookin!
I can!
Smells like bullshit!-
Well Jfled riddle me this. Why is crime down all over the country then? Are you working there also? Question two why is the murder rate in La and Ny down almost 80% yet Chicagos is only Down 40? Its proves you are a failure. Crime is down twice as much everywhere else. So your strategies just like you are a colossal failure.
I guess I misjudged CM-B. I may just wind up voting for her after all...
J-Fled is a typical piece of shit that likes to twist words around. Get the fuck out of Shitcago! Nobody wants you here. You have destroyed the Chicago Police Department. You are a coward and a lier.
OT -- Is this our future, no matter which of these strange birds gets elected as mayor?
Countless Juarez Residents Flee 'Dying City'
Will Weissert, Associated Press – Wed., Dec. 29 2010, 4:39 pm ET
CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico – The mother of four raised a finger, pointing out abandoned and stripped concrete homes and counting how many families have fled the Western Hemisphere's deadliest city on her street alone.
"One, two, three, four, here, and two more back there on the next block," said Laura Longoria.
The 36-year-old ran a convenience store in her working-class neighborhood in south Juarez until the owners closed shop, fed up with the tribute they were forced to pay to drug gangsters to stay in business.
Her family vowed to stick it out. But then came the kidnapping of a teen from a stationery shop across the street. After that, Longoria's husband, Enrique Mondragon, requested a transfer from the bus company where he works.
"They asked, `where to,'" he recalled. "I said, `Anywhere.'"
No one knows how many residents have left the city of 1.4 million since a turf battle over border drug corridors unleashed an unprecedented wave of cartel murders and mayhem. Business leaders, citing government tax information, say the exodus could number 110,000, while a municipal group and local university say it's closer to 230,000 and estimates by social organizations are even higher.
The tally is especially hard to track because Juarez is by nature transitory, attracting thousands of workers to high-turnover jobs in manufacturing, or who use the city across the Rio Grande from El Paso, Texas, as a waystation before they slip north illegally.
But its toll is everywhere you look. Barely a week goes by when Longoria and her husband don't watch a neighbor move away. Then the vandals arrive, carrying off window panes, pipes, even light fixtures, until there's nothing but a graffiti-covered shell, surrounded by yards strewn with rotting food or shredded tires. That could be what's in store for Longoria's three-room home of poured concrete if her husband's transfer comes through...

Now if she would promise to call the feds to investigate Richard the Short I'd campaign for her.
Adios. J Fled meaning good bye!
Thank God.

I was listening to 890 am yesterday, the roe conn show, and heard a retired sgt. call in and refer to Jody as "J-Fled". It was worth a good chuckle.
3 things I have learned on this job:
#1: The unclouted get screwed and the working unclouted get sued (then screwed).
#2: The bosses kids, ball lickers and politically juiced get taken care of again and again.
#3: Morale sucks because good officers are not rewarded.
Look at the patrol level and the guys n gals who work hard but don't go to units or teams because the bosses want "their" worthless people.
What happened to working hard and earning your spot---
Oh wait--- that NEVER happened!
if you want the results of the morale survey submit a foia request....the department will apeal your request and the department will lose.. jody will suffer another embaresment
If the "morale survey" results that was done has anything positive in it you can bet your a** this would be the time that J-fled would whip it out to defend himself.
WRT: falling crime rates in Chicago.
Let's say we give him the benefit of the doubt for a minute.
Now compare the results to NYC or LA.
---clip---
[...]The long-term trend is particularly striking in the nation's three largest cities —New York, Chicago and Los Angeles. Homicides in New York have dropped 79% during the past two decades — from 2,245 in 1990 to 471 in 2009, the last full year measured. Chicago is down 46% during that period, from 850 to 458. Los Angeles is down 68%, from 983 to 312.
http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2010-12-29-1Ahomicide29_CV_N.htm
===end===
NYC and LA had larger drops in crime. Now if you buy those numbers why is the reduction in Chicago crime rates so poor when compared to our sister cities? Put it in perspective.
If you buy those numbers why should any reduction in crime in Chicago be attributed to anything that we have or have not done?
Some would argue that it's a national trend and that there is no indication that can be attributed to actions being taken here or anywhere else. It is what it is.
However to steal another quote in the story regarding NYC:
---clip--
"...He calls this year's jumps in homicides and rapes "anomalies."
"There is nothing to indicate that this rise is going to continue," Kelly says. "When you have 8.4 million people together, you are going to have some people who kill each other."
---end---
Can we not say the same thing for any decrease in crime rates. The alleged drop in crime rates is an anomaly. There is nothing to indicate that this drop is going to continue.
I suspect that there is more behind these numbers in all three cities that is not being presented here.
I'd like to see the stats on number of gun shot victims and the survival rates from EMS and at the ER year over year.
And are rapes down because prostitution is up? Is prostitution up because we lost manpower? The lists go on....
This is a story of the pot calling the kettle black.
I recall when Carol Moseley Braun was demanding that her brother, Detective Joseph Moseley, be appointed the Commander of the 2nd District. His only qualification appeared to be that he was a blood relative of former Senator Braun.
I also recall that Senator Braun demanded that she be provided Chicago Police officers to escort her whenever she came to Chicago and she insisted on naming who they where.
She is no friend of the Chicago Police rank and file but just another prima donna.

9 finger rahmsicle thanks you very much.
"Now if she would promise to call the feds to investigate Richard the Short I'd campaign for her.
12/30/2010 01:21:00 AM"
okay, you've posted enough bullshit, now get back to licking rahmbo's balls.
The results of the "morale survey" are not subject to release under FOIA, sorry.
Come on.... still don't trust her, she just want the votes!
J-FLED claiming "leadership" abilities by pointing out to crime reduction is as funny as him saying "gotta run" and then running the other way instead of to where shots were being fired.
Actually, it's very sad. And maybe, it's a sad commentary on the bigger picture, not just his role.
ANY leader should be a role model and set an example. Lately, we don't see that much in politicians, teachers and yes - even police superintendents and other top administrators.
Ever notice that first-class leaders surround themselves with other first-class leaders as subordinates? They know how to bring in impact players and not bench warmers.
Second-rate leaders are insecure and afraid of any competition from subordinates so they surround themselves with third-rate leaders and Yes-men (and women).
CPD is a shining example of that with the additional negative ingredient of clout which introduces total non-leaders into leadership positions.
And you wonder why CPD doesn't have respect on the street???
Looking at the mayoral hopefuls, none of them have any shining leadership capabilities, so don't expect much in J-Fled's replacement.
Another incompetent Yes-man (or woman) is in your future.
CPD needs a Major Reisman (Lee Marvin), not another Ensign Parker (Tim Conway).
BTW, Lee Marvin is buried in Arlington Cemetery and was awarded the Purple Heart. He just didn't slap on a uniform to "play a part".
This penny broad is an idiot!
Jfled...what a typical educated moron....Ewww Look at my numbers.
I can type up all sorts of BS to.
Now I know why mummbly fucks hired him.
0222- I wonder if that Sgt. could have been from the "northside" of the city? Get it? "Northside"?
BOY THAT PENNY VIDEO CRACKS ME UP!

She's right. She does have a big mouth.
If she is elected EB will be the next supernintendo. You can bank on that.
The sad part is that all it will take is some blatantly obvious lip service to get a bunch of coppers to vote for this thieving, lying incompetent.
she's a fuckin hack. she supported a dictator responsible for the wholesale destruction of an entire region ( da mayor), and some african guy too.
Crime is down why yes it is! Just reclassify crime simple then crime is drastically reduced! All a numbers game right j-fled? carol is just echoing the other candidates everyone except rambo has said jody will be gone lets hope it is soon! Watched the news today there was j-fled wearing "our"uniform again what a poser1

What a joke. I can't stand JFled but come on, please. CMB? She'd probably sell CPD to Nigeria. Guaranteed the new supe would be someone exactly like Penny.
Bet on it.
Now that's hibbity-jibbity we all can use. Mosley the Candidate understandably gets a news conference, so JFLED throws a hissy-fit and gets one too?
He's quoted as saying, " the Dept can't afford to go back to business as usual", does that apply to promoting political hacks to command staff (Henny Penny -Crutters the critter), or drivers to Sergeant, creating exempt crystal ball unit and all the other top mgmt. waste?
Stick your doctored crime stats when the sun doesn't shine.
FED style policing; made headlines on piddly bs, hide facts grandstand for a new position.
Business IS as usual twit.
Tough luck for all those who hitched their wagon to JFLEDs falling star.
J-Fled Weis Pinocchio is living in another world. The morale is at the very bottum. He has destroyed the CPD single handedly. He wears our our uniform and thinks he is the police and a "man". He totaly clueless about being a police officer. Three more months of his B.S.
Fuck Carol. Am I the only one who recalls that she stole from her disabled mother? And that she's a bigger POS bigot than all of the Reverends combined?
http://www.realchange.org/moseley.htm
personally and professionally I think that j-fled is a man with a paper ass--- but IF he was responsible for the 4 and 2's, a tip of the hat for that because the six in a row were murder.... do any of you old guys feel like this job has become akin to an xbox game--- big tahoe with camera and powerbook, fm stereo, commandos running around with ar-15's wearing all types of uniform configurations, tazers, aira reporting---- remember the mean looking bastard, you know the one with the wheel gun and dump pouch, a nightstick with plenty of chips in it, the alcohol scented cologne, pack of pall malls in the front pocket, one punch knock out artist---- who got the job done better ??????
Did you honestly think you weren't going to get tarred and feathered by all the candidates on your way out the door and out of town? It's going to get alot worse and what's left of your reputation is on the line. Do you have no council to rely on for advice but Daley and Masters? Ahhhh....it all becomes clear now.

1) You're a liar
2) You're still a liar
3) Repeating a lie will never make it true.
4) Prove your allegations, didn't think you could
5) Hiding behind this blog makes you the coward you are
6) You know where to find me, oh here are my initials you ba$$le$$ ****!
JM
Or you'll continue to lie on this and other blogs
I have a growing suspicion that it won't matter who wins in February, as all of us are going to lose.
JUST SAYING-
J-PUD reminds me of the old proverb/lesson--' The King's new clothes'. The one where he is naked but believes he has special clothes and parades around the kingdom in his nakedness. He believes his own hype.

SCC... This should be its own thread! And just when I thought I could not be any more ashamed to be a Chicago Police Officer I see this video! I was laughing for a second until I remembered this goof is my BOSS and making $120,000. + per year with a take home car and carries a gun!
The SHAME just keeps growing!!!
More than 30 years in the military and law enforcement have taught me that it is results that count, said J-Fled. Thirty years? Does that explain why you ran like a bitch when a few small caliber rounds went off during your press conference. What military did you serve in? And fuck CMB too, she just wants a buddy of her's to be gifted that spot, I mean earn.
Stay safe CPD and know some of us still respect and are grateful for the job you do. I feel safer in Afghanistan than I do on my own street. How fucked is that?
Now if Carol would like to think in these terms maybe we could recoup some of our pension funds.
"Former Obama administration auto industry czar Steven Rattner has agreed to pay $10 million to resolve two lawsuits by New York's attorney general related to alleged kickbacks involving the state's pension fund. Rattner also agreed to be banned from appearing in any capacity before any public pension fund in New York for five years.
Attorney General Andrew Cuomo announced the settlement, which ends two lawsuits by his office. These had sought to recover at least $26 million from Rattner and permanently bar him from the securities industry in New York."

in Rahm's mayoral survey on fop website, it clearly states that Weis will not be staying put.
You gotta be shittin' me! That's a Police Commander on that you tube? Once again, I'm glad I'm gone.....

WOW. what a waste of a Commander. She really has talent.Maybe she'll retire. " And God said, Penny, go fourth and screw the working police." and she did.
penny video is funny.
CMB was caught doing some medicare/ss fraud with her ailing mama...she also got herself involved in some scam with a guy from Africa....I'm sure her natural food company is another scam in the works....didn't she borrow thousands of dollars from another scandalous knucklehead???
I watched the Penny video, and all of a sudden I feel dumber.

Not only did CMB steal from her mother, she got caught defrauding the State of Illinois. Her mother was in a nursing home at Oak/Clark on Medicaid and CMB tried to hide assets.
CMB then claimed she didn't know, she made a mistake.
Lying thieving racist piece of shit.
She fits right in around this city's political circles.
just saw part of the you tube.....no wonder 011 is f-'ed up...
Now I'm beginning to remember what I liked about CMB. Calling out that snarky Steinberg was great. Ripping into J-Fled even better.
Remember too she is the only woman of stature in the race. No one saw Anita Alvarez winning the State's Attorney's race. Not one expert got that right.
Sucker born every minute

Try a salary of $150,000 as a commander plus a car and other exempt perks. Crime rates do not matter to Penny. Take care of the reverends and slam the workers in your districts.
Just heard Gov. Quinn signed the pension bill. Im embarrassed to say I didnt vote for him but I will from now on. Daleys whining saying taxes will double. I have an idea Mayor, how about you put your political war chest $, and your pension money you dont need to fund our pension, the one you ignored for years?? and can be particially blamed for the under funding.
Thanks again Gov.

You must be talking about Z-Man. Had the biggest balls in the CPD. The best years I spent on the department were rolling side by side with you. God bless you Tony, I hope retirement by the big river up N/W is going well. By the way, what ever happened to the rooster?
empty Bull Shit trying to win hearts and minds of CPD Officers. Are we Stupid? I don't think so. Obviously she thinks we are.
Look at this idiocy:
http://rebirthofreason.com/Articles/DeSalvo/The_Death_of_Morality_and_the_Electoral_Process.shtml
Who ever wins this election is going to need to sway some of the lakefront liberal vote away from Rahm Emanuel, that is where you can expect him to have his strongest support. Therefore expect to see the candidates playing up to their issues a lot.
The sight of police officers carrying signs saying "Weis go home" and "Dump Weis" are a clear indication to Chicago's citizenry that morale is non-existant. The fact that it isn't clear to Weis just proves his eyesight is so bad he would've failed the vision test to be an officer and therefore he should be immediately dismissed.
Oh c'mon. She didn't support the dictator, she dated his son. She didn't steal her mothers money. She hid it before Illinois bureaucrats could steal it. If you don't like her just say so but don't lie.
BTW Daley stole OUR money. Inexcess of 50 million from our pension. What's up with that? This is the guy that want's us to vote for Rahm.
Yep... She'll pick Henny Penny......
High morale? Stats are down? Everything is safer? Lets ask the following families, Francis, Taylor, Valadez, Airhart, Bailey, Wortham, Sorberg, Flisk, Blake, Soto and Haymaker what they think.

CMB's real purpose was to hide the money from the government, not steal it from her mother.
If she is elected EB will be the next supernintendo. You can bank on that.
12/30/2010 08:51:00 AM
I don't think EB would be a bad superintendo. That being said I think Jimmy Jackson will be a better choice. He seems to carry himself better and will also take care of business.

Holy Shit, I think that he's off his medication again......can someone give Masters a heads up before he says something stupid?
