The Real Chicago Way
Mayor Richard Daley today said he expected police Superintendent Jody Weis to stay in his post through the end of Daley's term, even though Weis' contract expires tomorrow.
But Daley, speaking at a press conference to promote national gun-regulation efforts, also said he has yet to ask Weis to stay until the new mayor takes the helm.
Weis, who usually speaks at such press conferences, was not on hand, but when asked if there was a reason for that, Daley responded, "No." Weis spokeswoman, Lt. Maureen Biggane, said she did not know why Weis wasn't there but it was possible he had another commitment.
Over the weekend, Weis said the mayor had yet to ask him to stay on through the end of his term.
Surely Rahm has some insight?
Over the weekend, Weis said he had not yet spoken with Mayor-elect Rahm Emanuel, who during the campaign said he would replace Weis.
“My contract runs (out) on March the first, so we probably could just leave it at that,” Weis told reporters at a Sunday news conference on another topic.
- Overpaid, morale-killing Superintendent;
- Bus;
- Some assembly required

OT. Watched Chicago Code for the first time and there are two obvious differences between the TV Superintendant & Weis. 1-forehead is half the size. 2-Bigger set of balls. That is all.

A cheap shot on the LT. You have a mayor that won't talk to his Sup. You have a mayor elect that is not in-charge officially on the books yet. You have a Sup that won't leave office like a normal person would. He obviously wasn't invited to the press conference by the mayor. Why should the LT make excuses for anybody in this situation.
OT:
Regarding the pensions, i was doing some thinking and why not have the percentage you pay in from your check increased as you increase in rank?
Just an idea.
As PO's we pay approx 9%.
Well i know since sgt's make more they pay 9% on a higher pay, but how about starting by raising their contributions to 10%?
And another % as you go up the chain.
I was looking at the amount of "upper echelon" bosses in this department and it is utterly staggering. There are so many of them and who knows what the heck they are doing except getting ready to retire and rape our pension fund.
They're only putting in 9% but are taking out a hell of a lot more than us blue shirts and more than the 9% on the higher pay would cover.
Shouldn't your input percentage be more proportionate to the amount you're drawing out?
Just an idea. Any thoughts?
For instance:
PO contributes $73,000*9%=6570
deputy approx $130,000*9%=11700
PO receives 73000*.75=$54,750
deputy 130000*.75=$97,500
So the deputy is putting in an extra $5,130 a year but is taking out $42,750 more each year when he retires than a PO.
This is not right.
Somebody needs to take his red Swingline away and stick his desk in the basement!
Nice Kabuki Theater isn't it?

I'd like to extend my sincerest appreciation to the 008th District third watch, specifically Bts. 811 & 812 (there was an additional unit present, but the beat escapes me at the moment - please accept my apologies) who responded to my wife's 911 call when I encountered the jagoff in my garage mid-burglary this afternoon (Monday) .
Your response time was stellar, and the investigation from preliminary officers, to E.T. (Bt. 5813?), to the investigating RBT detective was handled just as it should have been. Especially cool was hearing Hauser say "... we need to all look out for one other." It was reassuring to see that the camaraderie I've experienced throughout my time on the job is alive and well here in 008.
And a big "Thank You" to Cmdr. "Kup" (we miss Bosses of your caliber in 011, John!) for allowing these coppers to practice and maintain beat integrity in an area that had been somewhat neglected in the past. This incident had the potential to get real ugly, real fast - especially had my wife been the one to enter the garage first - but the guys & gals from 008 arrived before the jagoff had any thoughts of an improvised "Plan-B" and anything escalated.
These officers need to be recognized and praised for a job well done...THANK YOU!!!!

Jody watch- day 1
Yeah the real chicago way!!!!How does PO PJ from 001Dist get assigned to Fugitive App. This guy was fired and got his job back because of who he knew. This guy should of been a rule 14 violation but is given a good spot because who he knows. When is it ever going to stop. He must of taken Weis to the Super Bowl this year.
This department is way to top heavy. Get rid of all the useless gold braids. We need more street cops.
Wtf is up with the Captain on midnights in 016? Where's they find THIS clown?
My worry is that he will still be sup a year from now.
Kind of OT: If the Rhamster wants to win the hearts and minds of the CPD, AND stick it to Jody, he should use his considerable influence to free Bill Cozzi immediately.
20 receives the ghetto of the month award for multiple agg bats and homicides. Soon there will be 50 openings for those that have the brass balls to work in 20. For those making the transfer please brings a case of chalk.

It's 20!! Please stop yourself.
2/27/2011 02:49:00 PM
Ohhh my gosh. It sounds like 020 is the worst part of town. What will we do. I guess I'll stay in englewood were it's nice and safe.
So neither Shortshanks or Emmanuel will step up to the plate & tell J-Fled his services are no longer required?
Well allow me...
Yo' Jody, your time is up...A.M.F.!
Thanks for NOTHING.
Saw this on another post in regards to the edgewater murders/police shooting... sounds legit but anyone know if its true?? If so youve got to love the fkn system we live. These Lawyers will do anything to make money.. here is the post from the "tracking the killers" thread a few days ago:
This needs to be a headline post SCC. have you heard this little story Yet? Just heard that one of the scumbag lawyers are putting the lawsuit together on this one. But this is where it takes a turn... The bad guy who was shot and killed by the police is NOT the one suing, but the family of the original guys who were killed in the apartment. The family is upset because the officers knew that these guys were killers and were following them and just allowed them to continue to go to this "drug deal". They are contending that the police should have arrested them or stopped and checked them out prior to the deal thus the murders may not have ever happened and the family members would still be alive. They are pretty much claiming that officers who were following and watching them knew that there was a drug deal and that they were killers who have made fake deals before and killed the victims but still allowed them to move around freely without even being stopped for investigation. Im not sure which law firm it is yet but im sure we will know when its filed... This is absolutely pathetic and these scumbag lawyers will do anything to make money. Im about 99.99 percent sure that if this is true the city is a guaranteed winner on this one in a motion or at trial. I hope they get nothing and the officers did a fantastic job all around!
bye bye possum head, you were like the chicken sandwich trying to make a name for himself in a steak house----

yea dont see that happening..Rhams strategy from day one has been anti city worker which got him a lot more votes than trying win the hearts and minds of cpd.
Regarding the pensions, i was doing some thinking and why not have the percentage you pay in from your check increased as you increase in rank?
Just an idea.
sounds good to me....send it to Rham
Boy is he stupid. And great analogy (party).
---not a cop
Brrrrrrrrr.
And thanks all u media for putting up the Abbate tape one more time. Looking back I can see u missed the real story of a department not out of control, ruined by politicians in their bonfire of the vanities.
Did anyone notice the triple threat standing in the back at the gun meeting?

Saw the transfer order....all Weis' people went to "nice" spots....airport, specialized units, etc.
Have the D.C. from 011 take over. She's got the tools..
it should be quite interesting to see what happens with j-fled..... if he makes nice with our new mayor and starts dating him we may be in for big troubles

And the answer is, "What is it takes one to catch one?".
My morale is way up. You can wear my uniform boss.
A cheap shot on the LT. You have a mayor that won't talk to his Sup. You have a mayor elect that is not in-charge officially on the books yet. You have a Sup that won't leave office like a normal person would. He obviously wasn't invited to the press conference by the mayor. Why should the LT make excuses for anybody in this situation.

The Lt. in question is just another pretty face ... nice person ... but not the police ... just goes to show not all test takers make good bosses. Her best feature is being a messenger
J-Fled " How does it feel to be so wanted by the City of Chicago " Take your money like the other crooks of Chicago and be thankful you were never indicted.You will always be remembered the guy who put Cozzi in jail. What a resume
J-Feds secratary PO L.A. goes to Asset Forfeiture. How does she start in 011, and then 6 months after the end of her probation and DISAPPEAR, end up at HQ in real nice hidden spots.
Was she promised a promotion?

(OT) I work in unit 543 "detached services" wish the guys from 542 (The current mayors detail) would stop calling asking for a "spot"! Especially the 1 guy who keeps calling and kissing rayrays ass,stop it please your annoying! Maybe someday we can play some "hoop"!
So they would have everyone believe that the top cop in the second largest Department in the country doesn't know if he is still employed?
The Mayor left town without telling the top cop that his contract was extended or he was out?
The entire Department doesn't know who is in charge?
Some one downtown take charge! Lock up the guy with the misshaped head for trespass. Jimmy, Bea, step up!
This is beyond stupid.
Why didn't the reporters ask the mayor how many illegal aliens have committed violent crimes, in this city ?
Why didn't any of the reporters ask the mayor, how many violent crimes are his close relatives responsible for ?
Lets Bring It All To The Table Mr. Mayor !
"...020 gets the ghetto of the month award..."
HAHAAHAHAHAHAHA. I have always said that the Starbucks coffee that you guys up north suck down by the gallon morphs your mind. This proves it.
So I am assigned to do some crowd control/guard a crime scene from the fiasco in 024 when I get handed a phone. The citizen who handed me the phone informs me that it's a police officer with an emergency. I grab the phone and a hispanic female PO from 017 has the nerve to ask me to allow her sister through the crime scene so she can get home. What the hell is wrong with this female officer from 017? IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gunman shoots deputy in La. sheriff's office
After 52-year-old John Futrell started shooting, deputies in the building returned fire
COLFAX, La. — A man armed with an assault rifle, handgun and a knife walked into a small central Louisiana sheriff's office on Monday afternoon, took a hostage and wounded a deputy before being shot, state police said.
The gunman, identified as 52-year-old John Futrell of Colfax, and the deputy, whose name was not released, were in the hospital, state police Trooper Scott Moreau said in a news release. Futrell is listed in critical but stable condition and the deputy was just listed as stable, state police said.
Futrell had the weapons plus extra magazines and ammunition for each firearm when he walked into the Grant Parish Sheriff's Office at 3 p.m., state police said.
After he started shooting, deputies in the building returned fire. It is unknown if the deputy was the hostage.
Moreau said since it was an ongoing investigation that he would not release more details on what happened. Police did not release a motive.
A person who answered the phone at the sheriff's office said the sheriff would not comment.

This guy has been nothing but a
brown nose ass kisser his whole career so its no surprise that he made the fug app unit, no surprise at all. These are the types of people that make merit spots and get the choice units people, people like this that are total beatoffs while the other cops....the working cops... who deserve that spot by working their asses off and actually deserve either merit (overall bad test taker) or by application, but who constantly get passed over because of no clout. Its sickening and a slap in the face. PJ needs to wipe that smirk off his face cause people know how big of a stroke you really are........too bad your phonecall is blind/deaf or doesnt care.
Did anyone else notice EB mugging for the camera during Daley's press conference at Homan Square? No Supt., no Assistant Supt. present, but there was Ernie surrounded by "his peoples" making sure everyone saw him.
What a self-promoting megalomaniac. And Fox holds this clown up as an "example" for all the ghetto kids during Black History Month. What a fu**ing joke.
Get it through your thick skull, EB. YOUR PAST WILL HAUNT YOU FOREVER. The boy was taken out of the projects, but the projects live on in the man. Domestic abuser (physical & mental), liar, thief, backstabber and general jag-off are just some of the adjectives that describe you. You can carry around your new-found Bible, suck up to all the Revs and proselytize until the cows come home. You will FOREVER remain scum to those who really know you.

Glen, thanks for your post.
You only live about 5 blocks from me. Heard police going down my block so I flipped on my phone scanner to see what was going on. There are some really great workers working bt 811, 812 and 859. My old partner took your report. She's the best copper I ever worked with and the only person I'd want handling the paper if I got into a shooting.
Hey asshole, just leave.

Farrakhan: Mideast uprisings will come to US
Nation of Islam leader Minister Louis Farrakhan predicted on Sunday that America faces imminent uprisings that mirror those in the Middle East.
“What you are looking at in Tunisia, in Egypt … Libya, in Bahrain … what you see happening there … you’d better prepare because it will be coming to your door,” Farrakhan said in a booming voice, thousands of followers cheering in his wake.
OT: ( still relative to Chicago way )
Michelle Malkin's, no, not the race-baiter of the Sun-Times, carries an article by Doug Powers dated 26 FEB 11 on the resignation of Judy Erwin over ethics violations.
Erwin, was on Rahm's transition team until the news broke.
The comment section gives a few laughs, Chicago's reputation is known country wide.
Check it out.
again city is broke but keep jfled on the payroll $25,000 a month for another 2 1/2 months
hush money
I hope jfled writes atell all book about phony merit promotions
better yet let's all hope he was working undercover for fbi for the last three years and takes the machine down , no way he demoted and repromoted some of these exempts , most promotions are a joke 3 time merit promotions for most exempts
Started the weekend in a great mood after reading post that BOTH J-FED and MMM were sent packing. I thought, wow, Rahm is as smart, bold and decisive as his reputation:
SMART: He realized this fight between CPD and Mayor is petty and vindictive and destructive to everyone – police, Mayor and of course citizens. This fight is Daley’s fight, not my fight. Smart because he must have found a way to get accurate intel regarding how J-Fed damaged CPD with poor management, subservience to Daley (versus service), horrible promotions and contempt for the officers that served under him. Etc, Etc, Etc. (Also that MMM was his partner in crime)
BOLD: Once he realized J-FED/MMM were cancer destroying this vital city service he decided to remove them at once before they caused any more damage .
What a master stroke!!! I can take huge steps to end this destructive feud, begin to deliver on one of the biggest components of my campaign (SAFTEY) and not have to spend One Penny of scarce city money to do it!!!
Then I woke up Monday morning and saw Rahm having breakfast with Mayor Mumbles. When subject of J_FED came up they both passed him back and forth like a football on a busted play at a high school football game. NO Plan, just dithering.
And now JFED is making demands. Who is more delusional – J-Fed or Charlie Sheen? Does J-Fed also want an apology and to have CPD Exempt lick his feet while doing it?
Come on RAHM, they say you have balls. Do you just scream at staffers or can you really make some tough decisions?
Recently spied on a bumber sticker
-ABB, couldn't figure it out so I asked the gentleman what it stood for.
His reply, "Anybody But Barrack", I purchased 20 on the spot!
Well, Daley did it. I just heared WGN report that he was going to ask Weis to stay on until May. What an asshole.
WBBM says Weis left without written contract
JODY'S GONE!!!!!!!!!

Could they have picked an uglier son of a bitch to be the star of CHICAGO CODE? This guy scares me. Looks like a serial child rapist killer. What a joke of a show. I guess I'll just watch reruns of Adam-12.
"...could they have piked an uglier son of a bitch?...".
Personally, I think he's kind of cute. He has that untamed Polish look. Not bad for an Aussie.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Good test taker? Ask around.
