A Federal Investigation?
First, Rahm brings in a schools chief who is the subject of at least two federal lawsuits alleging discriminatory practices. Now it comes to light that the new superintendent might also have a bit of explaining to do:
- The U.S. Department of Justice announced today it is investigating the policies and practices of Newark Police Department, headed since 2006 by the man who has been tapped to lead the Chicago Police Department.
The move comes eight months after the state American Civil Liberties Union complained of rampant misconduct and lax internal oversight in the Newark Police Department, though federal and city officials said the ACLU's petition wasn't the main reason for the probe.
U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman said justice officials will also look into allegations of poor treatment of detainees in holding cells and will investigate whether officers have retaliated against those who legally observe, or record, police activity.
On one hand, we're appalled that such a thing could happen. Doesn't Rahm have an "in" to the White House? Shouldn't he have known about this potential embarrassment before it cropped up in the papers?
On the other hand, the stuff Newark PD is accused of is exactly what the Chicago Police Department was alleged to have been doing by the exact same ACLU bottom-feeders. So we guess it's kind of comforting in a way. It's familiar ground. It's almost like McCarthy is coming home after an extended absence.
This might work out well after all.

♪ Clowns to the left of me and jokers to the right here I am stick in the middle....
don't get put in the trick bag!
Just because there's a fed investigation into the Newark PD doesn't mean it will ever touch McCarthy. Hell, look at all the inquiries into the Burge tortures....even though there's ample evidence that the then-Supt. and the then-CCSA know about the seriousness of the allegations, nothing has ever happened to either of them. So McCarthy shouldn't start sweating about it.
The feds will find some bottom feeders if need be to feed to the public/media, and then the whole thing will just go away...leaving the next Newark Chief to sign over everything in some sort of consent-decree for the next 5 to 7 years or so.
The ACLU is one of those organizations that jumped the shark a long time ago after they were subverted by the communists. In theory, they provide a vital service to the Republic, like news papers. In reality, they're whores for the bottom feeding lawyers, liberals and others who hate American society.
I'd be worried if the new boss wasn't hated by the poverty pimps and other assorted bottom feeders. The enemy of my enemy might be my friend.
Actually scratch that, we don't need a friend, we need a boss.
It's a ploy to make the blue shirts feel that he's all about taking back the streets.
I did a search on New Jersey.com on this guy. Just like school supt. Brizard, this McCarthy guy also got a vote of no confidence.

I'm starting to like this McCarthy!
2 people shot in a driveby in the Scottsdale neighborhood? 81st and kenneth? I grew up there wtf happened?
And Rahm won't let us flee to the safe suburbs.
Fuck the ACLU.
Sounds like bullshit to me. How many of us honest cops out there are being sued or have sued in federal court
for this very same shit.
It easy for people to point a finger and say "thats the bad guy". most people have no clue what these bullshit allegations are all about. At least McCarthy has spilled some of the same blood we have.
Hmmmm...
Rahm seems to be having a bit of a rough start. Hope things start looking up.
The media should submit FOIA's relating to the concerns that DOJ had relating to the Chicago Police Department during the tenure of Cline.
They will discover that DOJ was about to go to court relating to CPD and to prevent this fom happening Daley agreed to hire a FBI agent to replace Cline. This is how we ended up with Weis.
Of course it's gonna work out well. Emanuel's already put in the fix to clear his buddy from wrongdoing.
That was the plan from the start, hire these bums with federal investigations going on then have them cleared to pave the way for the destruction to happen here.
Consider the source--ACLU?
Is it true the skull is turning 63 and has to go?
generally people don't mind the problems or complain about them until the problems are in their doorstep. suck it up liberals, you cant have it both ways.
we need a boss with balls, so someone please get Ms. Beale on the phone
OT
Rahm just 'promoted' Felicia Davis to his first deputy, whatever that is. How do you promote someone that hasn't even done one job to another job?
Is she related to Danny Davis? Who is her juice?
The news said she was a 'CAPS instructor'. I guess that says it all.
Out of the fire into the frying pan.
remember the ACLU's communist origins ... and, for those who don't know, that's not a joke
Makes me like McCarthy that much more
Should have been Williams. City Council can refuse to confirm
Interesting, long and maybe B.S. but if events unfold it links Rahm, Obama, Blago, Daley etc.

NOTHING WILL HAPPEN BUT
J-FLED MIGHT POP UP IN NEWARK AS THE FED SPY/FIXER UPPER.
REMEMBER R DUMB ASSES PAID OUT FOR NO MATTRESSES AND KEEPING WITNESSES IN HOLDING ROOMS FOR 3 DAYS.
AND THE FUNNY THING IS NO WHITE SHIRTS TOOK A DAY OF TIME FOR THAT EITHER.
This is not a good thing nor a laughing matter. We have to come far enough from behind the mess Weis, Masters, Roman, Cuello, Brust, Daley, Roussell and Peterson left. Why have us start with a leader plagued by scandal. What if any of this has some truth to it? This is a hell of a lot different from the average Joe trying to get a dollar and filing suet against a PO.

The vote of "no confidence" came from Newark's superior officers' association, NOT Newark's FOP Lodge 12 representing the rank and file.
I was in contact with FOP Lodge 12's Jim Stewart who gave McCarthy excellent reviews.
Rahm knew about this--He didn't care--He is the Rahminator!
Why the Feds would have anything to do with the ACLU=All Communists Love Us organization is beyond me!
I know it really sucks when the police come and kick down your door and take all your dope, guns, money, and drug manufacturing equipment---- and then they have the gall to put you in jail--- these cops are out of control, they are interfering with my pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness---- I'm glad the g-men are up the coppers asses, a brother can't even make any money around here no more....
Does the ACLU not think that some people, omigosh, lie about brutality after they have been arrested? in the 1990s, this was a common defense tactic for court: file a complaint for brutality, thus began the defense attorney's and the defendant's path to putting "reasonable doubt" in the jury's mind.
ACLU what a joke! Talk about the group of big mouths that can not hold a real job...
"Hey Boss, (McCarthy), we need a leader not a friend and suck ass to the media" Lead by example, hit the streets, and you do not appear to be the kind of chicken ass phony boss we just had, so when it hits the fan I am sure we can look up and you"ll be there doing it with us and supporting us.
Best of luck to you and stay safe.
Do we actually have a Boss with balls coming in? This would be AWESOME!!!!!
Screw the merit scared house mouses' and there juice, there are a lot of Men and Women out here that know the job and what needs to be done. We just need to know we are supported. This city can change in a period and you could be the one to make it happen. Good luck Boss.
So, what's the issue? Shitheads should be treated like shitheads. ACLU should be flogged and quartered. We need a little more turning of the cheek while we clean up our streets.
Keep up the good work Boss and bring those qualities to our fine city...the liberals will bitch at first but when they see the positive results on the streets, they'll change their tune.
With moral in the bottom of the Cal Sag, McCarthy could be the best thing for us!
ACLU, never worked nor had to take care of anyone but there own, "give me give me give me!"
How about earn an honest wage and living? Now there's a concept.

-----------------------------
And a good ploy at that. He's trying to unite us. I hope it works.
Federal investigation my ass. They are responding to reverends and bottom feeders who did not like the "take back the streets" efforts after McCarthy took over Newark. "why can't we stand on the corners and sling dope"? "Why are the poelice going through us and taking our pistols away"? He told his coppers to clean things up, they did and guess who didn't like it? Too fucking bad. I live in this city and I hope that the same policies go into effect here. On this thread there is a post about a shooting in Scottsdale. A once proud and relatively crime free community, which is now going to shit. I wonder why.
I'm retired now, but when I came on (early 80's) we did the roust em stuff all the time. It was fun and they knew who was boss. I'd like to see that come back.
Stay safe everybody!
His response in regards to the allegations against Newark PD was right on .I'am cautiously optimistic that he will be a supe that will have our backs. Yes, sometimes mistakes are made while making split second decisions but no that does'nt make them intentional or criminal.
Just give the guy a chance. Let him sink or succeed on what he does for us the Chicago Police Department.

Amen to that, I was down south on furlough and had I long conversation at a bar with an old attorney who was with the ACLU in the 60's and 70's and he said the same thing.
So he got out of that and is now an attorney for the FOP.
Is the American Criminal Liberties Union going to give Weis a Gold Star for what he did to Bill Cozzi?
In a raid on an al Qaeda cell in Manchester, British authorities seized al Qaeda's most extensive manual for how to wage war. A directive lists one mission as
spreading rumors and writing statements that instigate people against the enemy.
If captured, the manual states,
At the beginning of the trial ... the brothers must insist on proving that torture was inflicted on them by state security before the judge. Complain of mistreatment while in prison.
It seems that these urban terrorists have some things in common with their foreign counterparts.

Dipshit.
Who in the hell did the background check on McCarthy? A "no confidence vote" from YOUR OWN? Not by one, but two fraternal orders? WTH? Now guys and gals we've been thru this before, remember how we felt that we marched and sent out a "no confidence" shout out?! This is not cool.
Who was part of the search committee, they need to be fired, because they suck!
Newark police union vote 'no confidence' in city's police director after ACLU petition
Newark’s Superior Officers Association has reignited its feud with the city’s police director with a "no confidence" vote that may undercut his bid to remain at the helm of the state’s largest police force.
"The managers and supervisors of the Newark Police Department have no faith or confidence in his leadership ability," said Chrystal.
Chrystal said McCarthy has "no plan" to reorganize the Department in the face of planned demotions that will vacate the rank of captain and leave no minorities ranked above lieutenant. McCarthy maintains the agency’s six deputy chiefs will be able to handle precinct commands, while demotions will not harm diversity in the department and actually create more racial balance at the rank of lieutenant.
The union’s announcement comes at a crucial time for McCarthy, who must go before a city council that has not hesitated to defy Booker in recent months. A recent straw poll of council members showed McCarthy has two "yes" votes and two "no" votes. Five remain undecided.
The FOP may also push for a "no confidence" vote next month, according to Hatcher, who said he will actively campaign to block McCarthy’s reappointment.
"We have absolutely no confidence in McCarthy," he said. "This administration is wrong, and what McCarthy is doing is wrong. Nobody has attempted to find any monies, any way, to save any jobs here."
I'm just saying....damn! I would have rather had my own Chicago bred Top Cop...
oh and by the way....check him out on the reality show "Brick City" on Sundance, wow! what a piece of work!
He's the classic entitled white authority figure with a mentality of being constantly besieged! He also has good credentials, as a police chief. He was successful in NYC, he's been successful (relatively) in Newark, and there's no reason to think he'd be any different in Chicago. There's also no reason to think he wouldn't continue acting like an entitled lord of the city. Like the time, in 2005, when he was arrested and convicted of disorderly conduct for trying to get his own daughter out of a ticket for parking in a handicapped spot:
When a pair of plainclothes Parkway police officers issued a ticket, McCarthy's daughter allegedly explained that she had an ankle injury caused by a prior accident and had been issued a placard, but didn't have it with her.
Garry McCarthy was then accused of driving up in a police SUV, blocking the unmarked New Jersey police car and engaging in a shouting match with the plainclothes officer. He was placed in handcuffs and led away as a crowd watched.
He was simply informing those cops of the unwritten rule of tickets! Maybe a police chief who's both successful and likeable is too much to ask. For all I know, the other candidates for the Chicago gig are even pricklier than McCarthy. They just don't have the Sundance Channel around to show it.
How much respect do you give a guy for showing up and attempting to impede an investigation, this is B.S.
Remember what happened to John Matthews a former Commander, demoted to lieutenant after he showed up in the 019th in defense of his son who was arrested?
Please, please tell me the difference.....????

Shove our bridge, O'Brien is right, we were close to being sued by the Justice department and the fear was we'd end up working under a federal consent decree with fed oversight of the entire CPD.
Weis' hiring ended that.
A fed consent decree can also suspend labor contracts to streamline reforms and the fed can shitcan work rules they don't like.
It was to the City and FOP advantage to avoid a consent decree.
True.
The person calling "dipshit" doesn't know anything.

Thanks Brooklyn South, but he either showed up in 019 (pronounced nineteen) or in the 19th District. That's how we say it here in Chicago.
the difference is that matthews went in there being a complete jagoff acting the fool screaming and if i remember correctly shoved a sgt behind the desk. and aside from dropping every race card in the book his kid is a fucking gangster disciple and and i dont think mccarthys kids are GANGBANGERS. thats the difference.

Wow! is this true????

Listen to this radio talk show about McCarthy's conduct in NY/NJ. It is an hour long but it is worth it. I hope he does not start disciplining POs and he has gotten away with the things he has gotten away with.
