Sneed Still Dishing Daley II
Protect ’em: Sneed has also learned Mayor-elect Rahm Emanuel will have fewer bodyguards than Mayor Daley.
The stats: Emanuel will have approximately 17 police officer bodyguards — compared with the 22 on Daley’s detail.
It’s a wash: Daley will be assigned five officers already serving on his detail to stay with him — for an unspecified period after he leaves office.
New brass: Mayoral bodyguard Brian Thompson, an African-American patrolman who was elevated to commander status months ago, will lead Emanuel’s detail. (Thompson will not be the first African American to head a mayoral detail; Mayor Harold Washington tapped Howard Saffold to run his security team in the 1980s.)
Phew! Let’s hope Emanuel’s bodyguards won’t have to haul bags of recycled garbage from his vacation compound in Michigan back to Chicago like Daley’s bodyguards did. (Is it a measure to keep prying eyes off private paperwork?)
The big question: Will Daley’s post-mayoral security detail still have to haul his trash?
Back to the beat: Word is 10 of Daley’s bodyguards will be re-assigned to do regular police work in Chicago neighborhoods — but must go through the training academy again before doing so.

didnt someone just get suspended for having city employees running errands on the city dime.
YET THE MAYOR HAS POLICE OFFICERS(D-3 PAY) DRIVING GARBAGE AROUND OUT OF STATE BECAUSE HE IS MORALLY BANKRUPT.
CANT WAIT FOR THIS EXECUTIVE PROTECTION TRAINED OFFICERS TO HIT THE SECRET UNITS FILLING OPENINGS THAT DONT EXIST.
LUCKILY CRIME IS DOWN
Can someone please tell her that the National Enquirer is more credible than she is. And that she hasn't been relevant in like 25 years.
How about picking up dog shit and whipping their asses, per Maggie's demands?
And, just maybe, Daley can strongarm some office supply company into giving him a shredder for use at the Michigan compound, so nobody has to haul his trash back to Chicago for him.
Got a laugh out of the bike guy touting his book on Chicago Tonight, inadvertently mentioning how Daley called him and asked for several additional copies of the book.
Has Daley paid for ANYTHING in a very long time?
I heard a few of Daley's Bodyguards are due to show-up at the Airport Detail Unit 050
It would be nice to think that a person promoted to Commander would at least know how to do a CR Investigation. This is a "play commander" spot for the clouted, just like Keating before him. How long before it's
ADS Thompson? Brian better thank Uncle Terry Hilliard for bumping the other choice at the last minute!
I bet Daley's arce was sore as hell after he finally left out the door of City Hall the last time. Scores of arce kissers were lined up to place one final smooch on Richies Royal Butt as he left. The same gofers will have to bow a little lower to kiss Rahm's little butt when he comes in Monday.
Unbelievable. Here's a guy who denied the average citizen protection by way of his insane gun laws and here he gets armed protection 24/7 even AFTER retiring as mayor. Another taxpayer ripoff...he makes enough money to get private guards, not police officers.
I assure you those 10 will not be patrolling Chicago neighborhoods. Those prima donnas have been crying for months now.
Everything that is wrong with Chicago politics greed, clout, sense of entitlement etc. is all on display with these pansy asses. They have been enriching themselves at the public trough for a long time now and are panicked that their gravy train is ending.
Maybe when they are leaving 35th and Normal for the last time they can mumble "shared sacrifice" to show Rahm they are team players. Oh and that D3 pay that stay's behind!
Who are the idiots that chased a guy down after he yelled "fuck daley" ... You must have a short memory, the guy deserves an award.
I've already heard the 10 Daley bodyguards won't be going to districts but to airports.
Two of the midgets guys were assigned to Ohare back in October then detailed back to the mayors detail.This was done before the 24 bids and 23 management spots were posted in November. Now they get to go back to their unit of assignment after their detail,Ohare......NICE.
let him use a pool car fuck daley
Just watch the kissing up at the Rahm;s gig on monday
The value of his bodyguard detail should be income to shortshanks, pay the piper Richie!!!
Rahm to perform a ballet number at festivities Monday.
Does the new guy McCarthy start on Monday?
Sneed writes in her column that ten of Daley's former bodyguards will be reassigned but first must attend two weeks of classes at the academy. I bet Howard is anxious to welcome them to his academy. I can only imagine the training they will receive. They are in for a big surprise. Smoke and mirrors.
Congrats to all the new guys on Rahmbos detail. Bhop your in over your head how long until you fail?
Didn't you guys see the new rule up on the side of the barn? It's been up for some time!
"Some animals are more equal than others."
Well, go ahead and keep voting these assholes in. No one to blame but the voters. Absentee ballots need to be discontinued, there's probably more vote fraud than in Kandahar
Off topic , rumor has it Georgass is going to start a new job at the Palace Grill on Monday. OOOhhpppaaahhhh!!!!!
I still can't believe that Department members gave Daley a standing ovation at the recognition ceremony at the Hilton. Don't you remember what he's done to us?
Stand up to salute the heroes, not the criminals.
Is Maggie getting a car and valets too?
I bet Daley's arce was sore as hell after he finally left out the door of City Hall the last time. Scores of arce kissers were lined up to place one final smooch on Richies Royal Butt as he left.

I didn’t see any former staff, commissioners etc.. show up to say goodbye to the selfish prick, it was only current workers- who no doubt were ordered to go stand on line like morons, led by current idiot and former CAPS head Vance Henry. The stories will soon emerge about how poorly Daley treated his employees. Probably why he wants body guards.
So, these butler/manservant security people that the stuttering prick will have at his disposal... will they spend the summer at his Michigan mansion?
Will they be travelling the country to make sure his dry cleaning is picked up in time for his "speaking engagements"?
Will they be jetting to China for his trade talks and meetings?
Will the taxpayers be on the hook for all of their travel, meal and hotel expenses?
Curious minds want to know.
Legendary suck-ass survived the cut
he doesn't pay for garbage collection in michigan that's the only reason bodyguards haul the trash back
citizens in chicago get 1 beat car ,people in high crime areas cannot get a blue light camera without permission of alderman
there should be a tax revolt if daley gets a bodyguard detail
news media and fop better stay on top of this one , high utility taxes , real estate , gas taxes so this king can keep body guards
better not allow this one rahm
special attention is the most he deserves
Where will Rahm's detail operate from? I've heard as of Mon 16 May 3540 S Normal will no longer be the command post.
Rahm cutting back from 22 to 17 isn't that big of a deal. That's still too many. These overpriced butlers cost the city a boatload of money with their D3 pay and quite generous amounts of overtime.
>>> Can someone tell Sneed she can stop writing about Shortshanks finally? He's gone now. <<<
He will still be news.
He will still calling behind the scene shots; still stealing everything that can be had.
He will still be news until he is dead and buried and they rename Millennium Park after him as was the plan in the first place or the day when he is indicted and convicted and sent to Club Fed.
The Department will be reassigning 10 former Shanksguards to district patrol but first will have to be trained at the academy....
Let me get this straight, 10 Shanksguards of 22, making Sergeant pay for some 5 - 15 years, hauling trash & driving around town, etc, have to be RE-Trained???
If they're NOT doing supervisor work why are they getting sergeant pay?
Then only to bypass District patrol and wind up in an airport, to do what ?
Ever try to RE-train a circus monkey?
Send the whole troop to Streets and San....thanks for playing.
He's gone Sneed, you can stop sucking the big one.
OT- I read that some guy got locked up for yelling " Fuck you Daley" I sure hope that's not true.

They now have a Office at the Academy.
Duhh...
Anyone ever hear of a shredder???
I was supposed to be made commander and in charge of his detail. My resume is very impressive, merit lt, USMC OCS drop-out, Tactical swat warior, etc., etc.
Why Rahm, why have you forsaken me?

Evidently, this poster doesn't believe Brian Thompson is worthy of his new position?
I find that really odd as Thompson has paid his dues working really rough parts of the West Side as the REAL police years ago. No?

I bet the academy could retrain a circus monkey. Two weeks at the academy and they will be brand new officers ready for the demands of a beat car.
Is Maggie getting a car and valets too?

Can you imagine an idiot like Sam Roti as the assigned investigator of a C.R. number investigation? That clown wouldn't have known the first move to make other than to stammer, shuffle his flat feet and break into a sweat, but regardless, he retired as a commander. Sickening.
Why does'nt Daley hire some of those Muslim brothers ?
They provide good, no nonsense
security. Matter-of-fact, they
never even smile or take a coffee
break and are damm good at what they do. And I am sure that
they are willing to cut a deal
and give Daley a discount, considering what his former job
was.
Leave Mayor Daly alone. He needs armed guards because he has never been without them since birth. He also needs drivers because he has never driven anywhere even high school.He also needs guards in front and back of his home. And he still doesn't know why you idiots need guns.
For all you media trolls out there, this soon to be millionare private citizen, who refused to allow law abiding residents to arm themselves in any neighborhood especially crime infested ones , will have at his disposal, 5 taxpayer funded police officers making D-3 (sgts pay) or approximately $110,000 per year plus very generous overtime. Also 2 police officers per watch,6 total, making according to the city $100,00 per year including benefits will be sitting, around the clock in front of and in back of his private gated residence in unmarked police vehicles, plus 2 city (police) vehicles for himself and his wife.
While these 2 unmarked vehicles sit in front of and in back of his townhouse they have to be relieved for their lunch and breaks by the 1st (central) district beat cars in a district that only has 10 beats.
These taxpayer funded bodyguards will be able to chauffeur the Daleys in these vehicles to all of his book signings, honorariums and other board meetings he will be attending as he cashes in on his "public service". Keep in mind that no other ex-mayor or ex- governor or ex-senator in the country has EVER had this taxpayer funded benefit. Please keep this in mind when our new mayor wants to talk about the "shared sacrafice" we must all face when dealing with this near $600 million dollar budget shortfall and ask him at his first, and every press conference how much is the ex-mayor sacraficing.

Sammy was funny at the hall, couldn't walk far as "fat sam" was always shuffling along, but heard his new wife got a prime spot for a new restaurant wonder how? Wonder how much sammy had to "give back?" Now Brian the new commander looks good he also has a murky history wonder if the "sunshine"will shine on him??
New York PD provides security to former Mayors and Police Super for the rest of their lives. Its just not Chicago.
200 people show for concert for emmanuel inauguration. 30,000 brave the rain and cold for wheeling native american idol finalist concert at Arlington Park. guess it wasn't the rain the stopped people from coming to your inauguration huh ramdog?
5/15/2011 05:18:00 PM
Never heard a word about the free Chicago concert til it was long over. A shame; haven't seen them for years.
Um, that wasn't 9.5's inauguration. The swearing-in is Monday.
These guys are body gaurds, they should of the best training the city could offer, they need to retrained to do what!If I was in a specialized unit and got dumped or launched or just left on my own would I get retraimed to go to PATROL,I got trained 18 years ago ia that not enough.
Why have a commander in this spot. Put a captain in charge with 2 sgts and the rest patrolman and save the boyfriend exempt rank salary. But I know that would be to easy.Gotta take care of my patrolman neighbor. What ever happened to the chain of command here? Its been long gone for years.Good freak'n luck new Mr. hit the ground running Superintendent. You'll be running into a brick wall in this town so wear your helmet and don't give out your phone number.
Heh...
That old witch & Police hater Sneed will forever be on the stuttering prick's jock...
It's something she's devoted a goodly portion of her adult life to and the prospect of actually doing something to justify taking up space gives her the squirtles.
Buh-bye you wizened old hack...
Go have a cry on Paddy-Boy's strong shoulder.
The vast majority of local media has the collective worth not exceeding the value of a bag of dead flies.
Hey if Shortshanks and his wife starting driving I would be walking on the streets like the shitheads,you would be safer there.
They are not going back at Patrolmen, they are going back as Sergeants and are getting supervisor training
What happened to Ray Ray. All that wheeling and dealing, changing the requirements for swat so he could get in, changing the process so he could get a spot held for him while he got a merit promotion, weaseling his way into the new mayor's campaigning in hopes of becoming his bitch. All the back room dealing to become the swat coordinator in hopes of being in charge of the mayor's security detail, poof, all gone. What happened Ray? Someone tell Rahm what a back stabbing, self promoting, lying, cheating POS you were? You still going to come through with all the promises you made to certain swat trainers to insure you "passed." Well at least if you get to stay in swat tactical Barbie can rest easy knowing when she "trys out" she'll get it. Ray, you are a piece of work. Those of you in swat who sold out for this guy, you should be ashamed. The old HBT days were so close to being gone and then you pull this shit.
All of his detail are getting promoted to sergeant!!!This is true

eh, how much do you want for that bag?
Charlotte
all of the former Mayor Daley's guards were never put thru any formal traniing unitl about 3 yrs go, They were trained by the State police like i was, most of these jerks were pompous goofs , cried about everything, I don't know which guys got launched but if they give them choice spots it sucks, they had it good for a long time, made some serious cash and now they are not priviledged anymore, but Daley will tell Rahm to take care of them, these brats should work a beat car
Hey Sneed! Not that I read the Times...but
What happened to the Daley appointed Aldermen who lost in the run-off elections?
People like, Sharon DUI Dixon or John "We can't affford to hire more police because we just gave them a 10% raise!" Rice.
Were they slid into city jobs to continue their life of graft corruption?
Who are the idiots that chased a guy down after he yelled "fuck daley" ... You must have a short memory, the guy deserves an award.
I agree. :) Recently, on WGN's noon news, a Daley friend recalled how offended Daley was when someone refused to shake his hands.
Daley inferred: "Regardless of politics or whether you like someone or not, you shake hands".
