A House, Too?

  • The police blotter: Sneed hears rumbles Philadelphia Police Chief Charles Ramsey, who lost a bid to become Chicago’s top cop because he was angling for big bucks, also wanted a home tossed into the mix. Ouch.
This just looks like someone piling on Ramsey so he can't ever return to Chicago in any capacity except as a tourist.

And did anyone not expect this?
  • Top cop addendum: Don’t be surprised: The city’s next top cop is very likely to be a woman. Stay tuned.
We didn't even know Jennifer Beals was in the running.

Question: Was this an 'unreasonable' request by Ramsey, or was this a 'me, too' clause, matching JPWeis' contract?

Has anyone EVER seen Weis' whole contract, or did the media just buy into the b.s. Daley was spewing when Weis was hired?

Were there relocation clauses, housing stipends, medical coverage, a car, travel for the wife, dancing bears... what, exactly?

She couldn't be any worse than the last guy. And certainly more pleasing to the eyes. I think there was an article about how she's pro-police since that show came on. That alone puts her ahead of the last guy, which admittedly isn't a very high standard.

Remember the Aldercreep who was always crying "
why don’t dey' want to invest in da' community?"
And when "dey' " did, she demanded a free condo, or she would vote the re- zoning down.
Corruption , spelled C-h-i-c-a-g-o.
And let's not forget Quinn, who just gave a State job $$$ to the head of the organization that " donated " $400,000 to his re-election campaign.
I guess this is what he means by bringing jobs to Illinois.
Can't wait till he builds his bullet train to nowhere.
Vote early & Democrat...chumps!

If by some miracle (or misalignment of the planets) Henny Penny "gets the nod" for Stupidintendant, I will personally spring for the official CPD headstone.

And while I can't speak from personal knowledge, I'm pretty sure Jennifer Beals wouldn't harass her lover telephonically, euthanize her estranged spouse's pooches, abuse her child, blaspheme God via recreating Creation in an M.B. (Make Believe) church or allow odiferous vagrants to occupy a POD room.

For what J-Fled got he might as well as for more. He was a cop in Chicago which can't be said about J-Fled.

Still why not look within the department? Or Jennifer Beals. Nevertheless I would suggest that they try to hold an election and let the cops choose the best candidates.

Not going to be Tina Skahill. She was in charge and responsible when the city swept the Alvin Weems fiasco under the rug. Skahill wrote up a bad police shooting into a good one and filed a report full of lies. The city was fine until the video came out. Cozzi slaps a guy goes to prison Weems murders an innocent man and gets merit promotion as part of the cover up. Check you tube 95th st cat station shooting/police murder. Skahill is as corrupt as they come

Top three names there would be Skahill, Kirby and Martin. Know all three and they would be as good as anybody being considered.

Rivera, Jackson and Byrne are good bosses being considered also.

Stop your petty bitching girls. Someone has to do it and let's just hope it's from within. You can keep complaining and have a miserable work day, or change your attitude and move forward.

The politics of the day have always made the determination of black, white or brown, and now male or female. There are a lot of good bosses here. Let's hope Rahm picks a good one.

It's going to come down to Kirby and Skahill. Both have essentially the same credentials. However, one has a slight advantage over the other. Any guesses? Hint - the last two appointed sup's pale in comparison.

The very strong rumor in political circles that has been around from day one and is gaining steam is the next superintendent of police will be a women. Nothing mentioned about race, nothing mentioned if it is an insider or outsider, although the next mayor has stated his preference for someone with " chicago roots".

The next Superintendent for the Chicago Police Department will be a black male. Rahm is going to promote from within the ranks and his list of candidates will include James Jackson, Ernest Brown, and possibly Deborah Kirby. He will give the nod to Jackson.

As for Ramsey if he demanded 400 grand and a house then he can stay in Philly. This whole Chicago thang got him a nice pay raise out dere.

I do tend to think the house thing is BS. Even the 400 G seems a bit much. Is Ramsey's ego as big as his freckled head?

Tina Skahill has too much baggage aside from the Alvin Weems coverup. There were more coverups and they may surface.

Debra Kirby is still named in a federal civil rights lawsuit filed by John Krupa.

There was a time when I would have wanted someone within the department to be the next Superintendent, Unfortunately now the majority of the Command Staff are political appointees. They take care of their own and continue the cycle of who you have to know to get anywhere mentality, it's sickening. I would love to see someone like Bratton but that probably won't happen. The best I can hope for it a thirty year veteran that actually passed exams and did their time on the street rather than in choice spots. Can't say it matters much at this point, this Department has become an absolute mess, it's embarrassing.
