Damn Cold Night
Meanwhile, outside, a blocks-long line -- filled with police and supported by firefighters -- waited in freezing temperatures to file through to pay their respects.
Some greeted each other. Many lamented about a shortage of manpower on the street and the frequency with which they find themselves at such scenes.
Final remembrances only in this thread. Dress for the weather today, boys and girls. Updates will be late, as you might imagine.

It was freezing cold waiting in the line at the wake but I was so proud and happy to see such a long line. I would have gladly waited if it were 10 blocks long. RIP Officer.
Would have waited a mile to get in. Great turn out by Chicago, CFD and all the other agencies. It always shows the respect. Many of the decent bosses waited in line along with us blue shirts. RIP Mike. May God watch over him and his family. Don't care how cold it is, will be out there today also. Being cold doesn't even begin to feel the pain his family is going through. The least anyone can do for this tragedy.
I went before my shift and was in and out quickly. There were many people there. We're going to far too many of these.
(OT) Morgan park 110th and bell triple homicide solved 18 year old punk kid,I don't give a shit why he did it,or why the 19 year old punk killed 1 of our own they deserve to die and now that would be justice!
to the CPD thanks for doing what you do,you guys are the best, the CFD mourns with you.RIP Officer.
RIP my Brother in Blue. God bless you, your family and your family in blue. Please stay safe.

Sad Scc,
Flags all around the city flying high, schools, streets in San. , or city buildings. What's really sad is no one even notices.
ABC is streaming the funeral services. The first thing I saw was weis in uniform and daley both going up to the family. No comment need be made about those two.
I can only imagine what that family is going through. And then to see weis in uniform and daley... ughhh.
Rest in peace valiant brother, comrade in arms. You family will be taken care of and you won't be forgotten.
Is there a certain route the procession will be going? I would like to stand along the street in respect to the fallen
BRAVO to the FLISK Family for you standing up, and ONLY YOU, to tell us about your father.
Bravo!
I will continue to pray for you all.
Bless you all!
Awesome Stuff! JFLED just got turned down by the family to speak at Officer Flisk Funeral! You should see the look on Fuck face. He knows he is hated. I am sending this VIA my blackberry as I sit here in the church. Classic
THE FLISK FAMILY BLEW OFF THE SUPER AND THE MAYOR!!YOU MADE YOUR DAD AND ALL OF US PROUD!!GOD BLESS!!
did i just see weiss and daley get embarrassed at the funeral ?
sorry but i have to ask.how can j-fled and the mayor even show face at a police officers funeral along with all the other kiss ass bosses..your the ones responsible for this happening not hiring anymore p.o.'s.j-fled can't even show emotion cause he doesn't know how it feels to be part of the family of blue...how many more on your watch have to die...
May God be with your family and I hope you find peace knowing that ALL of the CPD is praying for your strength. Another angel in heaven in the Uniform looking down on us. Thank you Officer Flisk!
Couldn't get there 'til about 6:30-waited outside about 5 minutes. Hated the circumstances, but was good to see some of the old crew from 009. You will be missed, Mike. Everyone please stay safe.
To a great police officer, a Great Husband, a Great Father, and a Great Motor Officer. RIP Buddy,
One of your Old Retired Sgts.
GOOD BYE BROTHER!
This day was for the FLISK family to mourn the loss of their loved one. I "commend" the family for not allowing J-FLED nor DICKHEAD to speak on behalf of Police Officer Michael Flisk. His beautiful daughter did an outstanding job reflecting the family memories with the support of her three brothers. Father Nagle was clearly stunned when J-FRAUD was announced to speak and approached Fr.Nagle informing him he was not allowed to speak.
AND!!!!!! AND!!!!!!!!!!
J-FED was wearing (3) yes "THREE" ribbons on OUR uniform. He been here less than three years.........
F@@K it takes a P.O. who is granted and deserving of an award more than that to get a ribbon, and who knows how long before a ceremony for your achievement.
THANK YOU: FLISK FAMILY for your choice to only speak on your fathers life as you remembered him.

Well times have really changed. A big fuck you to the 4400 drivers who spent the entire time at the cemetary laughing on their cell phones during Amazing Grace. Show some respect. We are burying one of our own. You guys from MSF are a bunch of jagoffs.
A big thank you to all police departments attending the funeral especially Cleveland PD, and a sherriff office from Minnesota. We are thankful to you. RIP Michael Flisk.
The turnout for the funeral was quite impressive!!! Special thanks to the officers from out of state, especially the poor guy from San Diego who came without a jacket, but braved the cold and didn't complain. Police as far as the eye could see!!!
It is time to stay together. Lets do it now and not only at these sad events. Deployed and couldnt make it. You make us all proud. -Semper Fi
Many thanks go out to the Cleveland Police Dept. Honor Guard who drove the 6 hours to come to stand in line with us at the wake and attend the funeral. THANKS!! and God Bless.
RIP Officer. Deepest Respects to his family and his fellow Officers for your loss.
-a citizen
Was a great turn out for Mike. He would have been honored. Had Departments from Indiana and Cleveland Police Department Honor Guard. His daughter gave the most heart wrenching speech I've ever heard. I'm just glad she was the only one allowed to speak. Her words meant so much. Mike you had more people that loved and cared about you than you ever knew. RIP Mike. Your family lost you but they have more people who will watch over them than you ever imagined.
I have to give thanks to all the suburban Police departments who helped out in numbers, CFD who was there for us and during the procession all the CFD and Suburban Fire Departments who payed tribute on the processional route. When it comes down to it we all face the same dangers. You kiss your wife and kids when your leaving hoping to return home. Some don't. The Police and Fire departments may jest with each other in fun, but deep down we all face the same dangers and the same brother and sisterhood. Thank you to all the Police Daprtments and Fire Departments for your thoughs and respect. I hope we never have to give you the same honor and respect, but we will if needed.
"He Answered The Call"
Today in the sun, I bid him farewell
A man, a hero, I never knew well
Like many before him, who answered the call
Wearing a badge, he was destined to fall
Though by choice a long life and a happy old age
Would he have chosen, had he written the page
But the office he chose never promised long life
Just half of his salary, for his child and his wife
He went without fear, into the darkness of night
Bringing comfort to some, to some others light
Easing their pain and calming their fears
He did his duty, never asking for cheers
A husband, a cop, he answered the call
We bid him farewell for he gave his all
Flisk's daughter prepared and read the most amazing eulogy I've ever heard. I don't know how she did it.
Seems Weis and Daley were not invited to speak. That's as it should be; funerals are for families and everyone should remember that.
What a sad day for us all.
For anyone who was not at the funeral, Mike's daughter made one of the most beautiful eulogies I have ever heard. Mike is beaming from heaven.
Sorry to the family. The murderer deserves to be hog-tied and dragged through the city by a car.
Or at least, he should have both hands cut off so he can never hold a gun again.
(I am not a cop.)
Thank you to CFD for your support. I know it is a simple message, but please know your support is always GREATLY appreciated. I don't know if you have a website like this but I am going to look so that I can extend our thanks.
This is the first funeral that I have attended of someone I knew killed in the line of duty, since I retired in January. I feel sick, beyond anger;just sick. Mike was like a kid; dry humor, never said anything bad about anyone. What a fucking waste.
Maybe it was just me but I thought that Mrs. Flisk was definitely slapping Weiss and Daley by not letting them speak at the funeral. The daughter did a WONDERFUL job talking about her dad. I am sure he would be soooo proud of her for how she held up today. Officer Flisk DID make good choices.
Got a chance to watch the services this afternoon on CLTV. What a beautiful family Officer Flisk has. No wonder he always talked about his family.
It tore me up to have to watch his children deal with this senseless tragedy. But they held up better than I would have that's for sure.
To the Flisk family, I know I speak for many Chicagoans when I say I'm so sorry for your loss. There are many of us who appreciate what your father did as his life's work. We will always remain grateful. God bless.

to my friends, i say, go on out for a drink
don't give a damn
what the hypocrites think
belly up to the bar, give your glasses a clink
a toast to your
fallen brother

My heart aches for that family, and all of the families of all of the slain police officers. I'm a civilian who cares, and there are more of us who feel the way I do than you officers might think. God bless the Flisk family, and God bless all of you.
J-Fled and Daley:
Do you get it yet? We absolutely despise you. Blessed be the day when both of you disappear from the City of Chicago.
Mike Flisk has been escorted by our patron saint, St. Michael the Archangel to be with our Savior in Heaven for all eternity. Until we meet again, our brother, rest in peace with Jesus.
my brothers and Sisters we are in the dark times but have hope.We will prevail. We keep this city safe and secure. The Blue is nothing but pride. Those days will return. Stay strong.Stay focused, Stay safe. The house cleaning is long over due. One day we will be lead by a blue shirt cop.
My First Funeral as a P.O. It was an honor to see the huge turnout and ceremony. I felt proud to be a part of the CPD. Sad at the same time. I hope I never have to see another one.
Thks to Madison Wisconsin police for making the trip. We are all brothers.
Along the route, in the funeral procession to the cemetery, we drove down 103rd st. People were out there in groups, pairs, individuals. There were also a number of school children with signs that they'd made, standing out in the cold. We don't get a lot of acclaim, kudos, or good press, but I guess that maybe to some, we're still the good guys. I'd like very much to think that......
Before conclusion of mass, celebrant, don't know his name, called upon Weis to speak. Weis walks up to him & they exchange conversation for a minute or two.
Weis turns & walks back to his seat, looking as small as he acts. Celebrant then says, Oh, we assumed Supt. would be speaking....but apparently Peg (daughter) will speak on behalf of the family.
Usually the details of who is doing what are worked out in advance by family & clergy. Had to wonder if this was done on purpose to slam Weis & Daley.
In any event, his daughter delivered an outstanding tribute
to her father & really to the entire family. She captured his Essence with dignity, humor & heart. I salute her in the face of such personal adversity.
Glad neither of those 2 morons didn't open their mouths.
A great big heartfelt thanks to all officers from departments far and wide who came to Chicago in this weather to pay their respects to our fallen colleague.
Much appreciated. It is really something to see officers from so many departments show up like that. Bad circumstances but very good people.
Stay safe all.
Let them who caused this sit among those of us who suffer and see what they have done. A good man was taken from us and they still, heartless as ever, wished to play their spin game and profit politically.
You were rightfully denied that opportunity by a family of the decent tragically affected by the savage barbarians you have enabled. Walk back with egg on your face to match the undeserved ribbons you wear on a uniform you disgrace.
I am heart sick by all of this but glad that you now see what you have done and can now know with perfect clarity how we see you when you disgrace us with you presence at such an awful time.
You have no place amongst those who have honor. Honor, duty, loyalty and brotherhood are not just words to us. They have a meaning you wretched scoundrels shall never know.
May God bless and keep us, peace keepers and protectors of the weak, and take our fallen into His arms.
"One day we will be led by a blue shirt cop."

That is what the city needs, a decent family man up from the ranks, no "phone calls" or political dynasties or interchangeable "managers," just an honest working copper who learned his trade on the streets and has earned the respect of others.
Boy, think about it and it gets to be a pretty long list, huh? (grin)
God bless all this day.
Oh -- Channel 7 showed Daley and Weis each saying a few words at the funeral.
Somewhere outside.
The attached was taken from NBC News Chicago website in story covering Officer Flisk's Funeral. RIP Brother, and may God Bless Your Family for all of their days.
During the service, Supt. Jody Weis was invited to speak by Rev. Tom McCarthy, but after walking to the front he informed McCarthy that the family preferred to hear only from Flisk’s daughter, the Chicago Sun-Times reported

Boy, that's about as fast as it gets. Great work by all.
That was a terrible thing; saw a photo of one of the ETs coming out through the courtyard of the old red brick apartment building -- older fellow with his camera rig in one hand and a plastic bag of evidence weighing down his other hand, looking tiredly over his half-glasses like he'd seen more than one too many of these...
Thank you especially, sir.
Does JFLED get it now? He is despised by all people that would have justice and peace! He will never understand the evil that good, tough men attempt to keep in check, so that others may live in peace. JFLED truly is a dunce.
God rest your soul Mike Flisk. You were one of the good guys, someone who made a difference in this world. May your family have peace in the midst of this chaos, strength when they are weak, courage when they are afraid and wisdom when their many questions seem unanswerable.
I was at the wake, the funeral and the cemetery. It still doesn't make sense, but know that myself and others will go on. you will not be forgotten.
This is the first funeral that I have attended of someone I knew killed in the line of duty, since I retired in January. I feel sick, beyond anger;just sick. Mike was like a kid; dry humor, never said anything bad about anyone. What a fucking waste Stay strong my brother. I have sen many a good cop and fellow Marine pass on. Thank God for them and their great examples of a true life of service. We will get through this ordeal. it still hurts but know that people appreciate what we do every day. Those stories never make the news. Without us the Blue this city would be lost. We will never forget and will always remember them. I am truly proud of all of you.
Outstanding eulogy by Officer Flisks daughter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and without it being tainted by J-FLED and mayor Mumbles...............

WHAT A GREAT EULOGY BY HIS DAUGHTER
MANY MANY THANKS TO HIS FAMILY FOR MAKING THE DECISION NOT TO ALLOW THE TWO MOPES TO SMACK THEIR LIPS!!!

I think the families of both men should sue the city, jody, the mayor, and the state for the untimely deaths of their loved ones

If this was most important thing that you got out of the funeral then you are a real asshat ... as well as you being on your Blackberry while at the funeral of a hero. You disgust me and are whats wrong with people on the job today. Jody is an ass but informed the good father of the families wish.
Along the route, in the funeral procession to the cemetery, we drove down 103rd st. People were out there in groups, pairs, individuals.

***********************************
My husband, myself and our 20 month old son stood outside on 103rd & Kedzie in front of CVS to pay our respects to the Flisk family and to all the CPD who protects our city day in and day out. When my son gets older I will be proud to tell him how he stood out in the cold to help support the CPD during their time of grief.
It is so sad to see you guys so down. No doubt someone comes at Jody or Daley it would be shoot now ask questions later.
