Inauguration Day
Someone said "Swear him in" and Rahm embarrassed everyone by letting off a string of four-letter words. The judge actually dropped the bible.
Strap in people. The next four years just got really really interesting.

That was a very liberal-leaning type of inauguration. Oh man, we just opened Pandora's Box and we're screwed. Raise retirement age to 65?
hey i got a question if I can ask it here (im not in the police and im from Elgin)
A guy on the metal detector forum said that the lakefront in Chicago on lake michigan was too unsafe and linked to this site.
heres what he said
http://metaldetectingforum.com/showthread.php?p=788150#post788150
me and the fam. are visiting chicago in three weeks and wondering if its too dangerous too go down there? its me my wife and our two daughters, 12 and 4.
thanks for your help we do support the police in our family.
Hey Rahmbo you said your cutting salaries for the city non-union employees and cutting wherever you can! Maybe you can talk to susie mendoza the new city clerk seems she just terminated some emploees in "non-essential" areas and now is hiring her own clout team! Rahm could you maybe cut that out of control spending??
OK, so from conspiracy land, I have a conspiracy.
Rahm is somewhat tied into the hedge fund community, and the hedge fund community has some of the best information anywhere on what is happening in the U.S. and the world.
My proposal is that Rahm has seen the future, and Chicago might actually have a good future.
In an agricultural heartland? Check. Lots of other places in the world are worried about their future food supplies. Chicago looks to be okay.
Access and control of freshwater supplies? Check. Lots of places even in the U.S. are worried about their future freshwater supplies.
Urban? Take a look at peak oil, or the Oil Drum blog, or reports from the government funded international energy agency. Cities might be the ONLY future for most folks going forward.
Food, water, oil. My theory is that Rahm has good information about what is happening in the world, and realizes that Chicago (and perhaps the other northern U.S. cities on the great lakes) are the best place to be going forward.
SCC, sorry for the length.
Hey TEN-ONE squad -- someone just swore at shortshanks and we're in a foot pursuit.
You're kidding me right?
Come on people!!!
A man yells "fuck the mayor" at Shortshanks and it ends up in a foot chase with a copper almost getting run over by a CTA bus to arrest the perp!
What the hell are you thinking??? Tell me what?
Was it worth it? Risking your life because someone shouted an obscenity?
I'll tell ya, this is one warped twisted society if you think so.
The USA constitution is being made a mockery of.
The right to bear arms is one example... right here in this specific case we have the right to free speech, and just recently in Indiana where the courts gave their blessing of law enforcement to kick in the doors of peoples homes without probably cause without a search warrant we have the 4th amendment being violated.
Think people!
What are you guys trying to turn this place into??
Anyways..

Cop hit by bus while arresting man who swore at mayor
A Chicago Police officer was struck by a CTA bus while chasing a man who allegedly swore at Mayor Daley as he was leaving City Hall Friday for the last time as mayor.
About 4:45 p.m. Friday, as a crowd gathered to watch Daley say goodbye to City Hall, Janusz Kopycinski, 30, allegedly yelled “F - - - the mayor,’’ police said.
http://www.suntimes.com/5380485-417/cop-hit-by-bus-while-arresting-man-who-swore-at-mayor.html
Oh yeah..with all the shit going down in this city this can not be tolerated.
We must tie up the court system and the manpower necessary to capture and take this criminal to trial to teach him a lesson -- make him repent his ways.
Barf...
What a joke. More booty kissing. As always I just can't wait to be one of the 200,000. I expect more of the same with different faces.

I would have had more respect if he would have been sworn in at the mayors office. Looks like a lot of grandstanding. Can't wait to see the new superintendent in action. He will be holding court at 35th street.

gold Stars to fall!!!!!!
Congratulations Mr Mayor I wish you luck in your new position. If you want to boost morale and fix something that was wrong from the start bring home Bill Cozzi. He sits in a prison cell in Louisiana being punished twice for a mistake he made.
We all agree and so does he he was wrong, he made a mistake and served his time. Then he was given a second dose of time to serve, this time far away from home behind bars.
As a public servant I enjoy helping people and doing the right thing on a daily basis. My fellow brothers and sisters and I put our lives on the line every day we go to work and we do this with a smile.
Mr Mayor you may not know this yet but there are a lot of wonderful men and women who work for this city in many different capacities and I am proud to tell you I am proud to be a member of the police family, and so is Bill.
Please Mr Mayor fix something that was broken. Please bring Bill Cozzi back home. He made a mistake and paid for it. Then he was used as a pawn and punished a second time.
We all proudly serve the fine city of Chicago and I ask you to please look into bringing Bill back home where he belongs. He has been excessively punished.
As I have stated we do not condone his actions that day but we stand united against the miscarriage of justice that has befallen Bill.
Please Mr Mayor, bring Bill home.
Free Bill Cozzi.
Respectfully
Bob Cavaiani
Just a reminder, jody wiess is still an asshole. God bless Bill Cozzi.
Daley's Pension
Remember, it's all those greedy police officers and fire fighters bankrupting the state:
The Shankster will be receiving government pensions totaling nearly $200,000 a year.
Mayor Daley has already notified the Municipal and General Assembly Retirement Systems he wants to begin collecting his pension on May 17, the day after he leaves office.
When he does, Dingbat Daley will be collecting a pension of nearly $184,000 a year. Of that, 64 percent will come from the state pension system and 36 percent will come from the city pension system.
[...] Daley has not been in the state legislature since 1980.
And, because Dingbat Daley has about 40 years of government service, he's eligible to receive the maximum of 85 percent of that mayor salary.
When The Shankster left the state legislature in November 1980, his salary was $53,000 a year. The state portion of Daley's pension will come to more than $117,000 a year. More than $66,000 a year will come from the city pension system.
Go figure that one out. The pension fund Daley is drawing from has liabilities that are four times the current assets of the fund.
But the evil police and fire fighters who spend 20, 30 even 40 years damaging their bodies and sacrificing personal time with their families, might top out at $60,000 a year to live out their already statistically shortened life spans.
And to add insult to injury; the city to provide this undeserving asshole with a 5 man security detail and two cars!!! This is the same little punk who fought every provision for the average citizen to arm and defend themselves against the predatory animals that are flowing out of the ghetto and attacking law abiding citizens.
To paraphrase an Irish saying: I hope the devil knows your coming a week before you get to hell, you miserable little prick. Good Riddance, you pathetic motherfucker!!!
Mayor Rahm sounds good and let's hope he can deliver change to the city and CPD . Let's start with more officers on the street by replacing the office police with civilians . Remember the less manpower he has to hire , means a better chance for current CPD Officers to keep benefits and receive pay raises . Let's cut supervisor ranks across the board by 20 % . Eliminate the Captain rank in district patrol and maybe use captain rank to replace commander exempt staff . This will save our pension fund . Cut back on tactical officers , maybe two,
6 man teams in uniform .
1 lt per watch and assign remainder lt's to an area to fill in as needed .
cut tact lt position , don't need a lt for 3 sgt and 24 officers
close 13 and 21 police districts,only 9 beat cars , no lock up , this will free up office police and many supervisors
good luck Supt. McCarthy , Rahm gave you the ball so run with it
lot of slackers running CPD
all the kissing up Ha
was Blago there???? or just his driver
Smilin' Joe Biden was here and sold 6 Chevrolet from his car dealership . .
. . . then the prick got back on the Kennedy and fucked up traffic.
The Rahmulan's invasion has begun!
Couldn't take my eyes off of Ald. Ed Burke sitting behind Rahm chewing on a wad of bubblegum like a slack-jawed workhorse eating out of a feed bag. I guess nobody ever told him to chew with his mouth closed. Disgusting!
Off topic but extremely important. FBI data released recently indicates 56 police officers murdered in 2010. This is an increase from 2009. please use caution and stay safe. We should never work 99 and hopefully McCarthy adopts the NYPD model and staffs all cars at the two man level. We are not a safe department and have lost too many cops recently. Remember, we are not paid to be murder victims. God Bless the CPD and our fallen from 2010. link posted below. www.nytimes.com/aponline/2011/05/16/us/politics/AP-US-Police-Killings.html?hp
will Rahmbo cancel burkes & neelys body guard details as promised
Rahm you said we'll have change
why not assign a sgt or lt to command your body guard detail,
not a patrolman that jumps 4 pay grades to commander and no supervisory background , doesn't sound like change and it's expensive
Anyone see G-Mack and/or Brizard at the inauguration? Rahm mentioned them both in his speech, but not by name. Were they there?
Has anyone seen any film of his ballet performances?
eddie burke looks nervous
chewing gum non stop and face looked red as a tomato
I wish I could have been there to see that.
Don't complain for a second if you voted for this next layer of the Anti-Christ or if you didn't vote at all.
Richie was an ignorant bastard of a crook that hated us. Rahm is an educated bastard of a crook that hates us. And an intelligent, well thought-out fucking-over hurts much more than an unplanned or poorly executed ass-tapping.
We ain't seen shit yet, kids.
Could only take about 15 seconds of the ballerino paying homage to Shortshanks before I had to switch channels. He's promising more change--great, just great.
off topic but interesting. Look for some federal activity to start up again...Not among the police department but at the FEDERAL BUILDING! I hear that a few clerks at the federal court building are about to bet indicted for taking money to assign certain cases to certain judges. The reason this effects us is because it was being done by several lawyers involved in civil cases, some of those cases which involved the city and police department getting sued. I would imagine that the lawyers would have to get indicted too right.. and if the lawyers are trying to get certain cases to a certain judge does this mean that the judge has knowledge of it and is just as liable?? Even though they are jury trials the judges have plenty of influence over these cases by granting or denying motions that make or break the case and demanding in some cases that a settlement be reached and for it to not go to trial. I would call this a rumor but according to the guy I talked to(ATF AGENT) he/she is very in the know at the federal building and very buddy buddy with the federal prosecutors.... sit back and watch, it could get interesting...
Off-Topic:
Can you imagine CPD giving a promotional exam...and nobody signed up to take it? Or showed up to take it? Sounds crazy, right?
Well, that is exactly what's happened at the University of Chicago PD. How could this happen? Two words:
John Doty.
Doty has got the be the most hated man ever in the employ of the UCPD. From watch commanders to the newest rookie patrolman, you won't find anyone with a kind word to say about this guy. Even our civilians do everything in their power to avoid speaking to him.
A new Sgt./Lt. promotional exam was announced.
A few (maybe 3) showed up for the pre-test seminar.
It was expected that someone would register online to apply for the promo exams. But no one did. And that pissed off the upper command. Phone calls soon started. People were called at home, at all hours, and 'urged to apply to take the test.' Now the
calls have turned into threatening phone calls. 'Take the test unless you don't plan on working here in the near future.' Now, patrolmen here do have a representative union, the PBPA. But unlike your FOP, our union, and our reps, are very weak here. If the University doesn't want to negotiate on a particular issue, it's simply not negotiated (like marriage leave, we don't have it because the U refuses to discuss it).
Doty took away holiday pay for the evening shift a little more than a year ago because the evening shift people 'only work for half the holiday (6pm/6am, 7pm/7am). Most of us feel that it's senseless to take a promotional exam, when Doty has already promoted selected patrolmen to 'interim Lts.' already, bypassing the rank of Sgt. completely.
What seems to be the point, when our idiot chief and the university have given Doty carte blanche to do pretty much any damn thing he wants, even if it makes no sense whatsoever? We know you guys have suffered under Weis; I'm sure from what I've heard that a number of you even suffered if you worked for this assclown Doty, but at least he wasn't the number 2 man in your organization. The CPD should be glad to rid of this idiot. We worked under Rudy Nimocks here for a little more than 20 years with very little ripples in the water. Doty has brought us nothing but a tsunami of shit for a little more than 2 years now, and we can't wait until it ends.
Mr Mayor Emanuel
no more details alderman , city clerk and city treasurer
Have you ever noticed just how MANY signs in Chicago have the Mayors name on them? Rahm wants to save money huh? The metal signs on the highway near Ohare are several hundred a piece by themselves. How about a cheap adhesive over the name Daley and save many THOUSANDS of $$$?!

It's not too dangerous to come here, but it's worth investing in pepper spray and keeping your eyes and ears open. It's not the safest place, anymore.
Don't participate in your own victimization; PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT'S GOING ON AROUND YOU and immediately remove yourself and your family from the area if anything raises the hair on the back of your neck. Never fight your animal intuition; it's there for a reason.
Yeah, the Mayor is all about saving money and cutting jobs...yet the first thing that happens are the new signs going up all over with his name on it. How about a sign that just says welcome to Chicago, no need to put the pols name on them, then you don't have to change them all the time.
Did you see who he greeted first after he was sworn in? He went right up to Ed Burke and they hugged.
Good cops in the news!
An article about an overperforming search warrant team in the actual paper? Wow! Much better than reading about Finnegan or the rape guys from 23. Handled one of this teams shootings in area 4. Great guys.
I heard the bulk of his speech, and correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't it directed to the Minority Schools and Neighborhoods?He sure as SHIT was not talking to the residents of the Northwest Side!
Bob , how was Bill "Wrong"exactly? He and the people around him were spit at. If my memory serves correctly , this was an act of a "Provoking nature".I believe this constitutes an act of Battery as described by ILCS 720. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Longtime P.O.
Fuck mealier.

1121am post, the lakefront is ok during the day and during the week generally. Anything can happen anywhere at anytime but i would avoid the entire downtown area completely after 4pm on fridays and saturdays especially. Packs of thugs tearing shit up randomly. Be careful
hey i got a question if I can ask it here (im not in the police and im from Elgin)___________________________________
I would never bring my family to Chicago if I didn't have to. Stay away, stay in the burbs where it's safer. Read link below.
http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2011/05/11/police-step-up-patrols-after-lakefront-downtown-mob-attacks/
You people that keep hoping for change, here's an idea: shit in one hand and wish in another. See which one gets filled first! Believe me, I do NOT want to be cynical, I believe it goes against my nature but COME ON! Neither 9.5 or shortshanks could really give 2 shits about ANY city employees. Listen up, both are rich and have lived the good life for a very long time. On top of which, both are egomaniacs. Couple that with the fact that they never truly worked are hard day in their lives, so the chances that they are sympathetic to us poor bottom feeders is just ludicrous.
Your chosen one on Pennsylvania Ave. is the leader of pipe dreams. Notice since the white guilt jagoffs put him in power, not too much has changed. Want to know why? Things were put in place for reason. Same thing here in Chicago. Sure 9.5 will talk a big game, just like his old boss did. Then the back pedaling starts and the shell game begins with "renaming different positions" with new people under different titles. It's all a game boys and girls don't buy the bullshit.
Keep drinking the koolaid and listen to the media, I'm sure they'll feed you the answers you want to hear

I would advise you to stay away. This year and last year there are incidents of wildings by groups of 20 to 100 young African American males. They take the subway into downtown and then go right into stores and steal merchandise, they sorround citizens and steal and beat the hell out of them and they just randomly attack citizens (white citizens in particular).
The media hasn't even reported this extensively. This year is much worse than last year. We the police in Chicago are short in manpower and you my friend has been warned.
A lot of people think they will be safe in "the safe tourist areas". Think again. The animals are coming out to attack and they have no fear of the police.

Better pucker up Chicago. You are about to get "Rahmed"! The new boss is going to balance the budget on YOUR backs. The city, schools and CTA are all wallowing in huge red ink. I moved out right after I retired. What a difference. The government is actually accountable to the taxpayers!
A little info on FOP regarding the new retiree health care costs
A few were complaining the costs went up like $100
Annuitant Healthcare Rate Changes
Retirees who are participants in the City's Retiree Healthcare Benefits received a letter over the weekend that advised changes in healthcare rates. These new rates will go into effect on July 1, 2011.
The Settlement Health Care Plans for eligible Annuitants of the City of Chicago became effective September 1, 2003. Under the 2003 settlement, an annuitant's healthcare premium is determined by a formula, which is based on a projection for each year's healthcare costs. These projections are developed by an actuary hired by the City of Chicago and the Pension Funds. The annuitant's monthly costs for Medicare eligible retirees have been reduced by approximately 10%. Non-Medicare retirees will see an increase of approximately 15%.
The Lodge will continue to monitor the increases as we have since 2005. If any retirees have been overcharged by the City, we will seek refunds as we have done in the past.
While there was a memorial going on at horner park for a policeman who was murdered a few years back your new mayor who reportedly started work a few days early was on the south side digging holes in a community garden .... guess a murdered cop wasnt importantant enough to make an appearance got to get that community garden up show the reverends that he's got there back thanks rahm
4 more years...sos.
"My proposal is that Rahm has seen the future, and Chicago might actually have a good future."

Do not be afraid to bring your family down to the lake front. I have my family there numerous times during the year. As in any areas, there are occasional problems. How ever during the day, downtown Chicago is a great place to spend the day. Make sure you spend some time on Navy Pier, I also recommend the Shed Aquarium.
The Museums are are also a good time. Don't know when you are planing your trip. Two of our favorite days are the Air and Water show and the Tall Ships festival.
Please enjoy the city, the skyline just after dark is amazing. As with any place you go just stay alert and enjoy the sites!
If they want to give Daley police protection, ok! I don't agree with messing people over and having the police play boggie-men. But how, how, do they justify city vehicles for Daley! When anyone eles who works for the city has a car they must be working for the city doing city business. Well strike one for Rambo on this one.
Daley is not the mayor anymore. that "fuck the mayor" was a threat. The savages from the west side have been making threats at our city officials for the last few years, they need to be caught, NOW. Corrupt officials like Cong Danny Davis and do nothing Bobby Rush are the reason these savages think they can rob, rape and pillage unmolested. if you want the rest of Chicago tollok like the west side, keep letting these cowardly savages run wild. They are the ones who embrarrased teh city, not Mayor Emanuel, he met them toe to toe and let them know he can curse and act an ass and will kick their asses becasue he is the mayor and they are woman beating cowards and thieves.

The new superintendent will see the difference between chicago and New York. The blood will be spilling in the street with the warm weather this weekend. The the new gold member talks about 911, well we have a 911 equivalent every summer with the death totals. They are all in over their heads. And they said the city lost 200,000 residents and there not sure why? Let me in lighten them and no need to spend million. CRIME! And RAPING us with taxes!

Beware of Daley's Honor Students !!!!!
Ok, ok, we get it. You're on a search warrant team. That's fantastic. Good work. Now stop posting about yourselves, you sound pathetic.
Daley took his fathers desk. The same desk that Harold Washington saved out of the city hall basement and had restored. I beleave that this desk is the tax payers desk.
Daley never has enough.
like many have said eddie burke is an embarrassment with his pompous ass chewing gum like a cow chews their cud! Talk about someone that needs to retire! Does his bodyguard detail also supply the wads of gum for eddie??

Burke knew EXACTLY what he was doing. His name (because of the blatant gum chewing) has been mentioned almost as often as Rahm's. Very shrewd way to diss Rahm without wearing a neon sign.
Doty is 100 hundred times better than the 2 idiots who were running U of C Police before him! So, don't go Haten! He's already turned it around for the better. And the officers he promoted were real Chicago Police Officers with Credentials, and not some clout baby CPD POs or Detectives who used to work there part time, who didn't know there head from there ass, and who were a fucking nuisance to the local District Police!
Old Racoon eyes is a big phony.

Seriously? You equate gang violence with the exceptional and extraordinary tragedy of 9/11? Pitiful.
As is your spelling, by the way.
To all the unknowing, not well informed readers, that asshole was spitting over a LADY with her CHILD, attempting to judge how far he would need to spit to get Daley. The officer, who I happen to know well, was merely trying to cuff this guy while he tried to get away. A scuffle broke out and he was shoved into a moving CTA bus. It was one of those routine scenarios that we all know never turn out to be too routine with all the nutbag loonies downtown. I have first hand knowledge because I spoke to the officer(s) after the brought shitbag into central d lockup. GET THE FACTS RIGHT GUYS beore crtizing your own people. I would have loved richie to have been embarrassed like that, but I wouldn't let this guy go for spitting on an innocent lady and her child.
Oh yeah and by the way, the officer is OK. In case you guys were wondering.
Mayor Rahm sounds good and let's hope he can deliver change to the city and CPD . Let's start with more officers on the street by replacing the office police with civilians . Remember the less manpower he has to hire , means a better chance for current CPD Officers to keep benefits and receive pay raises . Let's cut supervisor ranks across the board by 20 % . Eliminate the Captain rank in district patrol and maybe use captain rank to replace commander exempt staff . This will save our pension fund . Cut back on tactical officers , maybe two,
6 man teams in uniform .
1 lt per watch and assign remainder lt's to an area to fill in as needed .
cut tact lt position , don't need a lt for 3 sgt and 24 officers
close 13 and 21 police districts,only 9 beat cars , no lock up , this will free up office police and many supervisors
good luck Supt. McCarthy , Rahm gave you the ball so run with it
lot of slackers running CPD
You sir are an idiot!
Hey Rahmbo, how about leading from example with your "sacrafice" BS! Even "CROOK County" stopped making new signs every time someone new is elected! A simple sign saying "The City of Chicago Welcomes You" isn't good enough? You couldn't wait to get your midget, arrogant ass name plastered all over the city? How much did that cost? Fkn Hypocrite!
And you think I'm going to make sacrifices? FU! Until you cut about half of the thieving aldercreatures, at least half of the incompetent merit hacks your predecessor handed jobs to, stop pissing money away on useless shit like a drunken sailor on shore leave, bring some credibility back to this department, hire the 1000 officers you promised, etc, etc, etc... Then and only then will I even consider making MORE "sacrifices". The middle class in this city have been the only group that HAVE been making sacrifices!
Now impress me with all your BS campaign promises! LAMO!!!
I dont think that the Mayor of the City of Chicago can, by himself commute Bill Cozzi's sentence Im not even sure that the judge who sentenced him can do that
Daley is officially not the mayor of Chicago anymore yet the two car detail is still sitting outside of his house with no end to the detail in sight. Daley is rarely even there anymore with Maggie staying at another location. So the two officers assigned to his house are basically just guarding his property. Put them back on the street.
Rahm continuously spoke of the "people of chicago" during his speech. Immediately after his speech the reporters interviewed Gutierrez and Jesse Jackass Jr. who spoke only of the Hispanic and Black people of Chicago. If you want real change you're going to have to clean house of individuals like this who are only concerned about "their people" and want to keep society divided for their own personal ($)gain. I consider anyone who obeys the law, works or is actively looking for work, pays their taxes, and positively contributes to society to be a fellow citizen of Chicago. Anyone else is a parasite that needs to be scrubbed away.
So, can we lock up the shitheads every time one yells fuck the police? Who would handle the calls for service? Everybody would be down on arrests.
Did you see Rahm at his desk? You can barely see him...which is a good thing, I guess.
To 9:26 on 16May11-
Yes, I know a few Captains that are "normal". Captain Tom Karnick ,1st watch 013 is normal. A great guy, a great boss and I wish he was on my watch. Captain Marc Buslik from 014 is another. While I'll admit he does get a little pompous from time to time, he is another great boss and a great guy. He will go to bat in a heartbeat for his men. If there is any question about that, let's not forget that he took a demotion back to Lt. when he was in 025 over the Abatte incident. He is another captain I wish was on my watch. And what about John Farrel? While he may be retired now I don't know anybody that had a bad thing to say about him. Same thing with Rick Batrich another retired Captain.
Did any notice notice that he eliminated "so help me God" when being sworn in?
nice speech, im still doing nada!!
....Eliminate the Captain rank in district patrol and maybe use captain rank to replace commander exempt staff...
Do you know any normal Captains?
There are a few....
Johnson 003, Carroll 003, Voulgaris 010, Karnick 013 to name a few....
I dont think that the Mayor of the City of Chicago can, by himself commute Bill Cozzi's sentence Im not even sure that the judge who sentenced him can do that

get some sleep.
really.
Doty is 100 hundred times better than the 2 idiots who were running U of C Police before him! So, don't go Haten! He's already turned it around for the better. And the officers he promoted were real Chicago Police Officers with Credentials, and not some clout baby CPD POs or Detectives who used to work there part time, who didn't know there head from there ass, and who were a fucking nuisance to the local District Police!
5/16/2011 11:53:00 PM
Really, will you please inform us of these individuals.
Prez Mike Shields looked sharp at the inaguration. I will go out on a limb and say he was the best dressed peson at the event. Lets hope him hugging Rahm translates at contract time and lets hope it wasnt a reach around. Keep up the good work.
Hey Longtime P.O. I dont have to correct or clarify the law for you, you being a copper should and do know it. I dont want anything to get lost in translation. As I have said and as Bill has said himself he made a mistake. What is not right is that he should not be punished twice. We all know the facts and we are not out there to be punching bags but we must always be aware of our surroundings and have eyes in the backs of our heads. To the other poster I agree that the Mayor himself cannot overturn a courts ruling. But what I want to do is to make sure that it is known that Bill has not been forgotten. And keep one thing in mind it can be anyone of the rest of us.
I know that its a long shot, but its worth a chance that maybe the mayor or the new Superintendent may read this and realize that a great way to rekick start this department in a positive direction would be to right a wrong.
Bill served his sentence, paid his dues, did his time, and to get punished a second time is not right. I was told yesterday that a white shirt said that we should just forget about Bill and wait for him to get out. Do you all really believe that to be right. I dont.
Bill served the department in a positive way for many years and served his country in the military also. Bill doesnt deserve to be sitting in a 4 by 6 cell.
Bill should be home.
How about some positive posts that can get back to Bill and fuel his support tank, that would be a good thing.
And please if you know him, if you dont know him take it from me Bill is a good guy, would help out ANYONE and give you the shirt off his back. Bill made a mistake and paid his debt to society.
Bill should come home !!
If you have time please drop Bill a line. Of course SCC has his info posted on the home page of the SCC site.
write him, let him know we are thinking of him and to stay strong.
Free and REMEMBER Bill Cozzi
I have first hand knowledge because I spoke to the officer(s) after the brought shitbag into central d lockup. GET THE FACTS RIGHT GUYS beore crtizing your own people. I would have loved richie to have been embarrassed like that, but I wouldn't let this guy go for spitting on an innocent lady and her child.
Oh yeah and by the way, the officer is OK. In case you guys were wondering.

You do not have 'firsthand' information, then; you have secondhand, or hearsay, information. It might be better info than someone else's (or, it might just be the already sanitized version of the story), but it is NOT firsthand.
So, can we have another thread about the wilding and flash mobs? It got sidetracked by the technical difficulties.
I am amazed that most Chicago media are still getting away with ignoring it, especially Chicago Breaking News that is first up with a misspelled headline every time somebody in the city slaps someone else. I still subscribe to the Tribune--though I no longer trust what it says, mostly I get it for the funnies and also so I can shake my head at the bias--and I think they need to be called out on it. I don't comment on their web sites any more because you now have to register and be spammed. I'm looking for a place where the truth can be told, and so far this is it.
Liked what that UK retired cop suggested about getting video.

Former Blago driver Ralphy seen working the Aldercreatures per his master Mikey Meahler in hopes of keeping their spots! Have you no shame
THE CHICAGO WAY

"Food, water, oil. My theory is that Rahm has good information about what is happening in the world, and realizes that Chicago (and perhaps the other northern U.S. cities on the great lakes) are the best place to be going forward."
--5/16/2011 11:40:00 AM
What? Sorry, no far-seeing "survival scenario" here. You're dreaming. It's not as though Emanuel, the Daleys, and all the other looters are going to build a wall around the city and keep the resources for the citizenry.
Quite the opposite. Everything will continue to be sold to the highest bidder -- or outright given away to "poor countries" at the expense of the taxpayer -- while the wide-open Sanctuary City continues to fill with illegal aliens.
We give resources -- we receive in return the surplus population of the Third World. Sounds like a fair trade, huh?
"A Chicago Police officer was struck by a CTA bus while chasing a man who allegedly swore at Mayor Daley...Janusz Kopycinski, 30, allegedly yelled “F - - - the mayor"...[and] ran, followed by police officers. As he was being arrested, a male officer was grazed by a moving CTA bus, police said.
"Kopycinski, of the 6500 block of West Wellington, was charged with three counts of resisting arrest, two counts of disorderly conduct and one count of reckless conduct."

I don't know what to say.
This unknown Kopycinski is in a lot more trouble than R.J. Vanecko -- who is the original "f__k everybody" kind of guy, and shows it.
Great job.
Oh -- by the way.
F__ck the mayor.
How come Rahm's shared sacrifice mantra is only meant for the little guys, the peons, employee's and taxpayers?
The politicians subscribe to the shared sacrifice theory as long as they don't have to directly participate.
Ritchie Daley leaves office, steps into $185,000 a year pension, $1 million plus in his campaign fund, free premium health care and that's not enough for him. He wants to further fleece the taxpayers by insisting on 5 butlers(bodyguards) and 2 vehicles. All on the city's dime. Minimal costs for all that probably $750,000 a year! So much for shared sacrifice huh?
didn't that captain from 3 assign a 14 year old to a traffic car
@ 1:29 pm I spoke with that copper, so how much closer do u want to firsthand info, guy? This is what happens when cavemen take the word of news affairs as bible. Otherwise I would have said I heard from some of the foot guys or someting of that nature. There were many foot guys and watch people involved. Learn to read and interpret things correctly instead of crtizing fellow p.o.'s when you should be wishing that the copper is ok
4 more years...sos.
--You hope! They want to raise the age for retirement!
Every time I go into 008, the WC on days looks like a beach bum ... I thought Patrol had to wear the Uniform.
..Burke knew EXACTLY what he was doing. His name (because of the blatant gum chewing) has been mentioned almost as often as Rahm's. Very shrewd way to diss Rahm without wearing a neon sign.
5/16/2011 11:15:00 PM
With out a neon sign? Haven't you seem that red beak of his? His schnozzola could lead Santa around the world for a month without refueling.
To the perso that wants to replace office staff with civilians your nuts. How about officers with no less than 20yrs on the job or retired officers. The civilians don't need to know all your info address,social,phone birth date etc.
I have been observing some things here with the new mayor, Rahm, the inauguration and all. who attended.. Some very respected individuals but also some not too friendly to the police. I noticed that Fr. Pfleger was present and was shaking hands with the new superintendent Mr. McCarthy. Now this may not seem like a big deal but Fr. Pfleger was part of the new mayor’s transition team. Chuck Goudy pointed this out on Channel 7 news. He saw something too. A recent article in the FOP News letter by Fr. Tom Nangle says that a “high ranking police official” told him that they are going to replace the CPD Chaplains with “community based clergy.” I hope you are all getting the picture. Fr. Nangle says high ranking police officers lack moral courage and should try to prevent this because it is not a good idea. I agree, in fact it is a terrible idea. That lets the “reverends” be right were they want. As far as lacking “moral courage” is concerned, or lack of it, did not occur over night. I have seen this for years, “high ranking police officials” knowing that the decisions made to discipline, fire or somehow hurt other officers in trouble were out and out wrong, or could have been handled a different way to show helping a fellow police officer is the right thing to do not the wrong thing. But too afraid of loosing their “spot” or “going against the boss”. God forbid. Well to quote a phrase from one of our president’s close advisors, “the chickens are coming home to roost”. Moral Courage and you wonder why we all use Anonymous.
Why does rahmbo need to pay a guy who is a patrolman $170,00 a year plus car and expense account to lead 18 coppers? Why not ask them for "shared sacrifice" D-1 pay instead of D-3 and have a Sergeant run it would save taxpayers millions what say you rahm??
Rahm was involved with Rezko and Blowgoyabitch. There is a conspiracy here and you know very well that it goes all the way to Obama as well. They are all a bunch of crooks and now watch them steal our pensions next.

I really hope you're not sworn, because they'll laugh your ass out of court if you try to tell a judge, "I talked to that guy and he told me the story, so it's gotta be true".
FIRSTHAND knowledge is being an eyewitness. Second hand knowledge is hearing it from someone (hence the word 'hearsay').
I don't care how 'close' you think it is to firsthand, close doesn't cut it.

Does "Janusz Kopycinski" sound like a "west side savage" to you? Or were you including m/2s in the "savage" reference?
Take your drunken ass any-excuse-to-say-"savages" rant back to the basement and finish polishing off that bottle of Jameson's.

@Bob Caviani
I am not a cop, but I agree that Officer Bill Cozzi has been treated in a manner most unfair. In my opinion, he should be released from the Louisiana hellhole and be reinstated as an Officer, with all benefits he is entitled to, pension included.
There is a real miscarriage of justice here. If Officer Cozzi were a minority, I think the situation would be entirely different. I certainly hope he has recourse.
To all CPD officers and first responders everywhere, you have my respect and gratitude. And to Officer Bill Cozzi, you are in my prayers. May you all stay safe and go home to your loved ones at the end of the day.
'There is a real miscarriage of justice here. If Officer Cozzi were a minority, I think the situation would be entirely different. I certainly hope he has recourse.'
Glad to hear you support Cozzi, but I'm glad you're not a cop. I too was sorry to see Bill sent to federal prison for what occurred, but all things considered, he should have been fired by the Police Board. It would have saved him from the additional wear & tear that Weis put upon him, but what he did simply cannot be justified, whether the officer who did this was black, white, latino, whatever. There is simply
no excuse for beating a drunken bum who is cuffed
and seated in a chair (or even a wheelchair). None.
Obviously, Bill lost it, and he has admitted that what he did was a serious lapse in judgement, but no dept. can afford to have officers committing acts like this today. While I don't think Bill should have had to go to prison for this, the Police Board failed to do their job. But what Weis did to Cozzi was even worse, because a measure of justice had already been meted out to Bill, and he had accepted it and paid the price as handed down by the Board & the ASA's office. At least Weis could have spoken directly to Bill and given him a choice of resigning
or face additional Federal scrutiny for what had occurred; Weis didn't even have the decency to do
that. I'm sure Bill would have walked on his own if
he had been given that option, he'd be collecting
a pension, and Weis would have been able to show
the public that he was serious about cleaning up things, and everybody would have moved on.
Daley took his fathers desk. The same desk that Harold Washington saved out of the city hall basement and had restored. I beleave that this desk is the tax payers desk.
Daley never has enough.
Unfortunately, Harold made two mistakes: desk restoration and health negligence. :(
On a few newscasts, I heard: "Daley took all the furniture". What a cheapskate!
Most likely, Daley II has a whole room devoted to Daley I. Isn't that enough memorabilia?
