Sneed Still Dishing Daley II

Even more Sneed droppings. This time, the bodyguard question appears to be settled:
  • 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.

Can someone tell Sneed she can stop writing about Shortshanks finally? He's gone now.

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?

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!

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?

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 ?

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.

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".
