Another Piece of the Puzzle

Chicago has always been a political town, trading on favors and taking care of the connected. In that way, the supernintendo seems like a perfect fit. In fact, the beginning of this tale is mysteriously similar to J-Fled's actions to protect the FBI following a whistleblower allegation that the agency had failed to heed warnings and take precautions prior to 9/11.

• [...] McCarthy had lied previously and denied reports that he had been reprimanded by the NYPD after he had gotten into an physical altercation with a off duty NYPD Sergeant at a cop bar in the Bronx on City Island the night he was appointed deputy commissioner a few years back. On a separate incident McCarthy who was also out drunk again on City Island one evening was shooting out street lights with other police officers one of whom was McCarthy’s brother whom is a New York State Trooper. When McCarthy was confronted by an NYPD Sgt concerning the shooting incident McCarthy had retaliated against the officer later on especially when the Sgt. insisted on pursuing the shooting incident as a criminal matter. Needless to say the incident was quietly swept under the rug by the NYPD Raymond W. Kelly let Garry McCarthy skate after the New Jersey incident
  
  So Gary was back up to his old tricks again. He involved himself in another car stop, this one involved the arrest of a relative in Manhattan for DWI. When a cop on the midnight tour of the Manhattan North Task Force pulled the relative over, the relative telephoned McCarthy but the cop refused to speak to him. Interestingly enough almost identical to his daughter Kyla's incident. Instead, after consulting with his Sergeant and Lieutenant, the cop arrested the relative of McCarthy. McCarthy was not happy. He began calling the borough commander, Assistant Chief Raymond Diaz, to have the cop, Sergeant and Lieutenant transferred. Behind-the-scenes negotiations with a union trustee ultimately produced a back-door apology.
  
  Only a few months ago McCarthy again involved himself in the Manhattan North Task Force car stop. This time, it involved a friend of his who was summonsed by a cop for talking on his cell phone while driving. When the cop asked McCarthy’s friend why he had been talking while driving, the friend answered,“Because I got a fucking phone call.” Again, McCarthy was not happy, he attempted to have the cop transferred. The cop, however, comes from a police family. A relative is an inspector. So far there have been no transfers. Neither McCarthy nor the Task Force Captain, William Crossan would comment on the case.

So going after people who register complaints against his behavior? Check!

Try to have underlings transferred when they write his relatives? Check!

Attempt the exact same thing again if they attempt to write his friends? Check!

Having his behavior covered up again and again and again where he learns nothing and repeats the same embarrassing nonsense? Check!

Haven't we lived through a few of these scandals already? Where all the warning flags were up, people in power knew what was coming, incidents were minimized, hushed up, covered for, and in the end, the Department suffered irreparable harm at the hands of problems that should have been dealt with years previously?

Yeah, we can think of a few incidents ourselves right off the tops of our heads. How about the readers?
