Double the Cameras
The Chicago Police Department has boosted patrols on the CTA by deploying officers alongside commuters, and plans are under way to double the number of cameras at train stations, CTA officials said Monday.
Officers formerly assigned to schools have already begun riding trains in highly visible “Wolfpack” teams of four to six members to deter crime, Lt. John Wittenberg said.
The increase in security also includes plainclothes officers who will concentrate on preventing the theft of electronic devices, CTA President Forrest Claypool said as he unveiled the summer initiative.
Initially, school officers not assigned to summer school sessions will be augmenting the police presence. The Department and the CTA declined to say what would happen when school was back in session, but we have a small idea - the force will be scaled back in the hopes that the trouble makers will be in school.

This little tidbit was on the WBBM Newsradio 780 report:
- CTA President Forrest Claypool says more cameras will catch more thugs in the act of committing crimes.
But the cameras will only bear silent witness to the attacks seeing as how they can't actually arrest anyone. Which should be comforting to the victims as they recover from their injuries.

CPD and CPS members may have their differences, but we are all union and do not think for one second the mayor will not try to screw us especially since we can't strike.
Let's stand together and detour the tiny dancers plans to go to the white house by destroying what's left of Chicago. Hope to see you there.
double the event numbers?
Good job, Forest! WATCH those cameras! Yep, tape it all! Thats the answer!
Dont even think of hiring more POLICE, you know, like the person that can actually put handcuffs on the bad-guy!
Did anyone see the article in Friday's Trib (or was it the ScumTimes)? It was with the woman whose iPhone was stolen and the poor woman got knocked down the stairs and died? I really feel for the initial theft victim. She has survivor's guilt, which is going to take a very long time to get over.
However, just looking at the 2 accompanying photos to the article, it appears as if no one received the message to..PUT YOUR FUCKING PHONES AWAY! In both pictures, there's at least one, if not more persons on the phoneand/or texting!
The very first thing we said when we saw this on the news was, "where the fuck are you going to FIND the people to monitor these additional cameras?"
Then there was this... More j-fled style fuckery to make it appear as if They're fucking conjuring Policemen out of thin fucking air to do all this extra patrolling.
9.5 & g-mac really don't have a plan other than maintaining the status quo.
But the cameras will only bear silent witness to the attacks seeing as how they can't actually arrest anyone. Which should be comforting to the victims as they recover from their injuries.
this shit is really gonna crimp my style.

Why not attach cameras to the Thugs and this way we will know where they are and what they are up to.
The mutts know cameras don't stop crimes, therefore cameras are not a deterrent to crime. The best a camera can do is help identify your murderer, long after the fact. Big consolation to the murder VICTIM, eh?
Wolfpack, please. These do-nothing idiots are partially responsible for letting the schools get out of hand. Now, let's see if they can do an equally unimpressive job on the CTA. Bravo, bravo I say...a toast to the new supernintendo (if it's ok with Phleger).
Someone has to be getting a kickback from the cameras. This is just stupid.
" the force will be scaled back in the hopes that the trouble makers will be in school."
they are honor students of course they will be in school! DUH!
in all seriousness, since when do these shit bags riding the train to downtown and elsewhere robbing people go to school? let alone summer school?
let the cameras show when i taze the shit out of em

Rahm and GMac will do anything and everything to avoid the 800 pound gorilla in the room: inadequate manpower and refusal to hire.

Bystander's CTA death haunts iPhone robbery victim
CHICAGO The woman had just been robbed - her iPhone plucked from her hand as she sat on a Chicago Transit Authority train - and as she followed the thief's trail down the stairs to report the crime, she saw the horrifying, crumpled shape.
A woman lay in a heap on the ground, her head close to the steps. The thief had knocked her down.
Distraught, the robbery victim knelt down and cradled the head of 68-year-old Sally Katona-King. There was blood.

Maybe Ozzie Guillen should put Gavin Floyd and Edwin Jackson in the bullpen and go with a 4 man rotation instead of a 6 man rotation.
Sox handed Floyd a 3 run 1 St inning lead and he quickly gave that right back to the Scrubs.
Apparently not only do we have to watch out for the savages on the streets but now we have to watch out for savages in uniform(cops) too. At the 10-1 shooting on 76th/ingleside, a shitbird punched a 006th district tact guy and when the tact guy tazed and tried to place shitbird in custody a cop in full uniform(black shitbird copper) jumped and punched the 006th district tact guy attempting to stop him from making the arrest. UNFUCKING BELEIVEABLE !!!!!!! One of many fucking coppers put on this job due the race card. This is not bullshit, I got this from someone who saw this happen but because all the shit going on they were unable to get this shitbird coppers name because he ran off.
This is true I saw it.. Cd officer is arresting shit head... See him trying to place him in custody at which time a female f/1 pushes him off saying leave him alone... Then a six district m/1 officer sticks in saying the same... Thank god someone broke it off... Cd Officer was furious..
The cameras are useless. Very poor quality pictures. Where are all these plain clothes officers they are talking about? All PTS tact teams have been in uniform for months. Nothing will change until more Police are hired.
Forrest Claypool, perennial machine hack. This is reform, Rahm style? Trot out the same old tired political suckholes and call it a new beginning.
A hetero-sexual Ron Huberman, nothing more. This must mean that Forrest Claypool is next in line for CPS chief.

The Cameras will catch more Police than thugs. So becareful Officers
Why not attach cameras to the Thugs and this way we will know where they are and what they are up to.
Or RFID chips. ;)
How many officers have retired since 2001? How many has the city hired since 2001? If anyone knows the answer then please post it. Then I will let community groups know. We need to hire more police officers. Otherwise, if we lose the city to crime then we will lose the most productive/tax paying citizens. Then you can kiss this city good bye. Hello Detroit!
If you don't think Rahm is going to come after the Police Department and every other Public Employee Union you are delusional.
OT Check out the Times story about those fucks J-Fled, Masters, Brust and O'Keefe cashing in big time on their unused furlos. What the hell!
Concealed carry will do more for safety then all of claypools cameras, kill a few of these turds and they will think twice about who they target
Off topic but has anybody else seen any recently resigned exempts walking around armed in violation of state law?
Hubberman, Masters and Goldstein were not employed as a Chicago Police Officer long enough to carry after they retired. They are civilians now, and not allowed to carry under any provisions granted RETIRED officers. They are no longer allowed to play out their little boy fantasies of being a police officer.
Stop with the BS war stories too, by the way. None of you did any real police work in the short time you were on the job. You were just taking up the spot of someone who might have actually wanted to make a career helping people.
One of you is actually making up stories of a partner dying in you arms? Absolutely unconscionable.
All the video will show is a bunch of punks m f ing the police.....bring back disorderly conduct!!
So how is the Taste planning coming along??
OT: Jfled gets almost 77,000 paycheck for 64 unused vacation days over three years...wtf, why cant we accumalate our days?
Good time for CTA to pay special employment time and a half for our police service.
You will still need a person to respond to the calls on CTA and were spread thin already.
Six deep??? We are short on manpower all over and they are going to have six coppers standing around acting as cta security? We already have a unit that works the cta, and already have special employment for cta (that doesnt pay time and a half because cta is a seperate entity remember). If more people are needed than maybe have more openings for the unit (not really helpfull due to low manpower all over) or start increasing the number of special employment spots. Shouldnt this count as a negative to the # of pos rahm promised back on the streets? They are being given security guard details.
Wouldnt it make more sense to spread them out to cover more area (you know, the ones that will be uncovered due to six man teams)? If anyone is going to rob of beat someone in front of two coppers, than having four more there wouldnt stop them either. No doubt the scrambling knee jerk "I have to do something" reaction of some worthless gold star hack trying to justify their existence.
12:18 am>the public doesnt care, they think all city workers including cpd and cfd are over paid along with the teachers! we are gonna take it hard real soon,pension reform will include cops and firefighters and not just new hires.dont count on a raise next contract,rahm is here for a reason and it wont be good for city workers.

Nice to see ex-Supt. Jody Weiess cashing in his vacation days for a cool $76,000 and change. His pet lap dog Mike Masters also cashed in for about $23,000. Didn't Masters just get that cool job with the County for big bucks too? Police bosses can come and go when they please. Why should they even get vacation days. But as long as Weiss and Masters keep their mouths shut and obey the Boss on the 5th floor they will be taken care of.
Worked Mass Transit (PTS) some time back and remember trying to inform folks not to let their gold jewelry be obvious. Most got indignant when telling them this so I just quit doing it. People have their head phones on and playing games on the ipods and cell phones. They don't see or care what is going on around them. Screw them.
I didn't know a camera could respond if you need help when an honor roll student requests a contribution to his college fund. Maybe you should dial
1-8-0-0-vanecko.inc or 1800-RICHIEJR while riding the Els and help will come instead of 911.

Screw the Teachers, overpaid Cry-Babies who NEVER take our [the Police] side when we are out protesting to get a decent raise, then get 2% for risking our lives every day.
On July 7th 2005 London was hit with bombings. Over 700 injured 56 dead. All the cameras they had in place above ground, subways and buses did not stop the attack.
I live 1500 miles from Chicago now however when I rode the Red Line I also took my Ruger speedsix .357 mag snubie. Never had to shoot however pointed it a couple of muggers who followed me down the steps at Loyola late at night. They cut out quickly.
is it just me or does the tact lt in 701 resemble the guy on the lemonheads candy box?
off topic:
About a year ago if you remember, J-Fled came out with an order renaming all "exempts" as "Command Staff".
At the time there was really no good reason for this.
HOWEVER, NOW we know why!!!!!!
Hence the front page Slum-Times article today.
This PRICK pulled this scam to squeeze MORE money out of the tax payers.
I hope Weis and Daley BOTH burn in hell!

Preach on McSellout!
J-Fled to receive $76,000 for vacation per CLTV. wanna puke!
OT-Jfled has screwed us again. During his time as supt he arranged it so that as a civilian he could get the same vacation days that sworn get, and although he was not entitled to vacation days during his first year he is claiming he is owed 25. He stands to walk away with an addition 300 grand. Someone should get the michigan ave thugs to take this shit head out!
The seemless transition of the major mistakes made by one stupid regime, are passed to the new regime. Instead of using Federal dollars to help with the SEVERE manpower shortage, they are wasted on corrupt camera contractors. Where are the real reporters, instead of that Dog and Pony Show?
"CTA President Forrest Claypool says more cameras will catch more thugs in the act of committing crimes."
Inherent fallacy --
Images of thugs do not equal thugs in jail.
Camera can only grab a picture. Takes a policeman to grab a criminal.
Use the camera money to hire more police instead.
Duh.
But releasing those videos gives the TV stations fodder for their news-anemic programming!
"The Department and the CTA declined to say what would happen when school was back in session, but we have a small idea - the force will be scaled back in the hopes that the trouble makers will be in school."
As if everyone doesn't know and dread the shrieking, cursing, throwing, spitting, pushing, fistfighting tidal wave that descends upon public transit twice a day when school is in session.
If anything, the force should be DOUBLED in the fall...
"...in the hopes that the trouble makers will be in school..."
TILT.
Reset. Reset. Reset.
"The mutts know cameras don't stop crimes, therefore cameras are not a deterrent to crime."
Yes, but the average citizen thinks this is just great! It gives them the perception of safety.
They had cameras in London, too when the bombers went into the subway and blew it up. Didn't seem to save a single life, however.
Wake up, folks.

Weis Got $76K for Unused Vacation Time After Resignation
Updated: Tuesday, 21 Jun 2011, 9:10 AM CDT
Published : Tuesday, 21 Jun 2011, 9:10 AM CDT
FOX Chicago News
Chicago - Former Police Superintendent Jody Weis got a hefty check when he resigned on March 1. Weis was given a check for $76,000 for unused vacation time, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.
The lump-sum payment represented 64 vacation days that he never took.
Moreover, Weis wasn't the only city employee to get a big check for unused vacation; about 1,000 city workers were paid nearly $7.5 million during the transition from Mayor Richard M. Daley to Mayor Rahm Emanuel.
SCC, this is off topic, but hugely important. I realize the 'pension stuff' isn't as exciting as action stories, but the full magnitude of what we're dealing with just came to light and we're absolutely fucked.
We're talking Ireland, Iceland, Greece fucked.
A recent debt disclosure law made the figures available for the first time, and the result is grave. The pension is underfunded to the tune of $25,000,000,000.
That's twenty five billion in unfunded pension liabilities (with a total aggregate debt of over one hundred billion dollars)
http://goo.gl/dhLzE
For perspective, that's about $63,000 per Chicago household. Think about that. Think about the neighborhoods you work in. Every single dilapidated house you see in Englewood, Grand Crossing, Austin... Each one owes $63,000.
Anyone think the tax base in Chicago circa 2011 can bail us out of this one? People lie sometimes, politicians lie always, numbers can be manipulated but facts never lie.
These are facts.
Cameras, so what.. Everbody just has to wear those glasses with the mustache..
Read all about it !!!
City owes Weiss for vacation pay. Around $70,000.
Sad.
So when I get jumped by a flash mob on the train, I can ask to see the video later so I can see myself mugged.
If Daley was shortshanks, then Rahm is "the little dicktator"
If it comes to fruition, that means I'll have twice the amount of cameras to dodge when I'm "getting event numbers" while working special enjoyment. Fuckin' Claypool!!
Let's stand together and detour the tiny dancers plans to go to the white house by destroying what's left of Chicago. Hope to see you there.

Except they got a 4% raise and we got what? Sorry, no sympathy.
Cameras... Sure that's the answer, Hey BGA lets look into who is owners and the individuals that have a financial interest in the camera supplier, then since we can not hire more police to protect victims can sue, this is total crap and an insult all the cameras we have in the city and yet there clearence rate is what ZERO....

Really? all this extra police presence because of the "heat"?
have they come and said yet, "yeah, we lied. it wasn't the heat at north avenue beach. it was the thugs."
yep. . . didnt think so.
but these actions by the brass speak the truth.
its interesting that they can find money for more cameras but not for more police.
how about a high tech camera for richy and maggy daley , take away 5 police guards and 2 police cars , both could ride cta like the rest of us , how about that mcgruff
5 more police to patrol neighborhoods not valets for richy
CTA President Forrest Claypool says more cameras will catch more thugs in the act of committing crimes.
so are you saying that the cameras will only catch them on the act but wont actually prevent the act. way to go cook county, waste the money and dont prevent anything
and if we rae so broke, where are you going to find the money to buy the cameras
Wonder who is getting the payoff for this? The envelope please,stuffed full of cash! It is the Chicago way!

OT: SMG Security hired to help with the Taste. Can you say Clout Clout Clout???
Greg Ramirez, Henry Stanton and Mike Marano, principals of SMG America, each were distinguished members of the Chicago Police Department. Their department assignments ranged from the mayor’s security detail and tactical operations to public housing and public transit. Their service also included vice operations, child abuse investigation, intelligence work and patrol. All three have received certification by the US Secret Service. Even though retired from the police department, owner Greg Ramirez provides Peer Support to the Chicago Police Department voluntarily through the Chicago Police Department’s Employee Assistance Program.

The following appeared in the on-line Tribune edition about how eddie the weasel burke gets to keep his 6 man security police detail:
"McCarthy, who was speaking at an unrelated event Tuesday, said in light of his efforts to get more cops on the street, “I absolutely understand the question” about Burke’s security detail".
The weasel has had round the clock police detailed to protect him since 1986. Do the math, how much more are taxpayers willing to pay for this arrogant leache to live like a king, I don't see the difference between those that bleed the system through public aide and this fat cat. Keep supporting this broken system, our pensions will eventually be tapped...since they have already leased and monetarily raped everything else.
mcgruff said a court order prevents him from removing Ald Burke's body guard detail , that's ok because Burke had Bodyguards for over 25 years
GaRRY McCarthy , What or Who is preventing you from removing the FIVE Bodyguards and 2 city owned police vehicles used to guard Mr & Mrs Richard Daley , that's private citizen Daley , no court order preventing that order from the Office Of Police Superintendent
I guess you do not have any power unless Rahm gives you permission
Does the Court Order require two body guards per shift , can't one officer protect Burke , we only have 1 Police Officer for the entire Beverly neighborhood
what a joke , new mayor same as old old mayor , new police superintendent can't get much done
OT but? ($76,000 for vacation?)
Since when does Jody get paid vacation days?
He was not Sworn personnel.
He was paid for 3 years on a contract of $310,000 per year.
He received a check whether he showed up or not.
Where did these vacation days come in?
Is the police finance division that stupid? (maybe)
Did his contract have OTHER language that the public was NOT told about?
It's absurd that he received an enormous salary, showed no results, and claims vacation pay!
Pis-ed off taxpayer!
Curious...
With the CPS Security and Crossing Guards....why do we need regularly detailed PO's at a school during the year?
I understand that 018 District has a few Bike Patrol coppers that are basically detailed during the year to act as Valets for double parking, hydrant blocking Yuppies.
Off topic to District 25: we are building a playground at St. Angela's on Thursday. Supplies are on the construction site already. Please keep a special watch. God bless and be safe.

Hey, he has a POD cam across the street. What does he need six 24/7 coppers guarding him for?
That POD cam is more than the majority of what the taxpayers will get when they are threatened by someone right?
Don't worry, the POD is out there and should something happen it will all be on tape so that we can bring the person to justice.
Why is that not good enough for you MR. Burke but it's good enough for the children being shot at the parks!?!
Yeah..the ball-less mayor and police chief are rubbing it in the taxpayers face that Burke gets to keep his security detail of SIX COPPERS!
Meanwhile we have sixty year old ladies being shoved down the stairs murdered at the CTA trains by Ipod thieves and seven and three year old little girls getting shot in the play lot at the city park.
Nice to see that Burke is making a shared sacrifice sitting in his million dollar castle with pod cams and taxpayer funded guards isn't it?
There was even a seven year old raped in Burke's own ward.
Six more cops on the street may have prevented all that. But no!
Instead we have our city leaders hiding behind an alleged court order to provide 24/7 security for Burke because someone called and made a death threat.
Oh we can't do anything the court order and all -- it's out of our hands.
I call bullshit!
What's wrong with an order of protection just like any other citizen of Chicago would be told to file for?
There has to be hundreds of taxpayers that are threatened everyday and they are not provided with 24/7 security.
They're told no-one has acted on the threat and so there's nothing we can do.
Funny how when it comes to things like pensions and union contracts and other things in writing how a judges order doesn't stop them from not being honored.
This place is not only financially bankrupt, it's morally bankrupt as well.
Some people in the comment section posted that the solution is to vote the man out. However you can see how well that works as the ol' mayor is still sucking off the taxpayers even though the man has three jobs!
This just in :

Illinois is now the only dumbazz state in the union without a concealed carry option.
This gun control stuff is working so well in Illinois that criminals and illegal immigrants armed by the nations own ATF operation Fast and Furious are flocking to the state and the Sanctuary City in droves.
People need to seriously ask why all the criminals are not leaving Illinois for other states where it's easier to carry guns if the carrying of guns turns places into the wild west?

The cameras won't capture a damn thing after the "flash mobs" tag the cameras with spray paint. The guys at OEMC will think the city is being invaded by giant Blobs. I don't think the Department has issued Blob repellant. I know, we'll use fire extinguishers, like they did in the movies.

A 7-year-old girl was attacked over the weekend in the city's Archer Heights neighborhood.
Tuesday morning, police officers and the community's aldermen were out to warn residents and also remind them to be on the lookout for a suspect. The suspect is still on the loose.
Police say that Saturday night at 11:40 p.m., the 7-year-old girl was sexually assaulted near the 4900-block of South Kildare. There is no word as to why the 7-year-old was out that late at night alone.
Fourteenth Ward Alderman Ed Burke came to a city sticker outreach program at the Polish Highlanders banquet hall in the 4800-block of South Archer, near the crime scene. Burke and city clerk Susana Mendoza, along with CAPS volunteers, warned the public of the rapist, handing out flyers to concerned community members.

Chicago's crime is not reported to the FBI because they can't conform to the FBI's Uniform Crime Incident Reporting guidelines, all because Shanks and his Daddy didn't want the nation to know what the real crime rate in Chicago was. The Chicago Police Department tallies data differently than police in other cities, the FBI often does not accept its crime statistics. Chicago police officers record all criminal sexual assaults, as opposed to only rape. They count aggravated battery together with the standard category of aggravated assault. As a result, Chicago is often omitted from studies such as Morgan Quitno's annual "Safest/Most Dangerous City" survey, which relies on FBI-collected data. I thought JFLED would have straightened this out.
Unf*cking believable, on no wait were in Shitcago, county of Crook, State of This is such a safe state we don't need guns so come on down all you criminals cause we can't protect ourselves. Sheep waiting to be led to the slaughter at the hands of the protected criminals emboldened every day by our elected officials.
This is true I saw it.. Cd officer is arresting shit head... See him trying to place him in custody at which time a female f/1 pushes him off saying leave him alone... Then a six district m/1 officer sticks in saying the same... Thank god someone broke it off... Cd Officer was furious..

OMG! Anarchy on the CPD? Probably one of their homies.
Unfucking unfucking believable.
Pretty soon we'll have coppers arresting other coppers for interfering with their arrests.
I'm a det and did an interview last week on my case in Englewood. Whole family totally lawless. Shithead's son is a Cook County Sheriff--are you f'ng kidding me? Who the f*ck did the background check?
It's a terrible day when you can't tell the good guys from the bad guys.
All the video will show is a bunch of punks m f ing the police.....bring back disorderly conduct!!
6/21/2011 08:32:00 AM
It is back numbnuts!
Where have you been?
I'm going to retire soon, so I think I will go find a really bad corner in Englewood and lob my handcuffs over the top of a blue light camera.
That way, if the camera decides to come down off the pole and arrest someone, it will have a pair of cuffs with some experience.
...just sayin'

If it is real vacation time then it's his.
Start bitching about this and you will not be able

As for jfleds salary, blame shortshanks on that one.

I was SOG MTU TAC in the 70's. A crime map for us lasted about a week; then we arrested or killed the offender.Usually killed because we caught them in the act but we tried to be nice.
Forest, when you are getting your ass robbed and violated on the red line, look up at the camera and ask it to help you.
Great. Doesn't seem to deter two dope slingin' boys who hang at Springfield and Iowa!

Can he be recalled?
Chicago - Former Police Superintendent Jody Weis got a hefty check when he resigned on March 1. Weis was given a check for $76,000 for unused vacation time, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.
The lump-sum payment represented 64 vacation days that he never took.
Moreover, Weis wasn't the only city employee to get a big check for unused vacation; about 1,000 city workers were paid nearly $7.5 million during the transition from Mayor Richard M. Daley to Mayor Rahm Emanuel.
6/21/2011 12:54:00 PM
That means he got over $1,000 per day. What is wrong with this picture? Sigh. Just another pig at the trough. Unfucking believale.
Re:OT: Jfled gets almost 77,000
City Hall / Sun Times Co-Op is at it again.
The Sun Times once again is in collusion with city hall to gin up anti-public worker sentiment. It wasn’t long ago that this newspaper released articles sensationalizing the excesses of the politically well connected to coincide with Daley’s demand for public employee furloughs. The Sun Times succeeded in painting all employees with the same brush as it attempts to do here. Shame on the Sun Times for this dirty deed especially at a time when the nation’s working class is suffering and see those with a job as fortunate. The use of this tactic reveals more of what I have come to believe, in that Emanuel is nothing more than a rear guard, covering the tracks that lead to Daley and his years of financial chicanery.
One thing is for sure though, look for Mayor Emanuel in the next few days to offer “shared pain” ideas to over-worked public employees while he continues to re-purpose tax dollars from their designed use and depositing them in his Tax Increment Financing district slush fund. One other thing to remember, as cut backs are made the lack of services will become evident look for more graffiti ,rats, garbage, burnt out buildings, muggings, open hydrants, water outages, street light outages, broken stop lights, pot holes and less street signs, painted cross walks and painted lane markings to name a few.
If you are a member of a wolf pack do you have take blood oath like they were going to do in the movie Hangover? Just asking.....
mcgruff said a court order prevents him from removing Ald Burke's body guard detail , that's ok because Burke had Bodyguards for over 25 years
GaRRY McCarthy , What or Who is preventing you from removing the FIVE Bodyguards and 2 city owned police vehicles used to guard Mr & Mrs Richard Daley , that's private citizen Daley , no court order preventing that order from the Office Of Police Superintendent
I guess you do not have any power unless Rahm gives you permission
6/21/2011 06:12:00 PM
Um, court orders can be challenged, especially one that was put into place over 25 years ago! Grow some balls McFib and Ballerino! WTF? Even Oliver North doesn't have bodyguards!
Does the Court Order require two body guards per shift , can't one officer protect Burke , we only have 1 Police Officer for the entire Beverly neighborhood
Oh, you are so silly, silly, silly. Burke needs protection from the mob. The mob gets protection from the city. It's quid pro quo, that's all.
WOLFPack - I heard this on WGN TV at noon.
Slick name, but what is a "wolfpack" in the CPD?
C'mon, don't ya know? There were the Bulldogs in 020, the Insane Fish in 011, the Third turds or whatever they call themselves.
Don't you know these nicknames evoke fear in the minds of criminals? Sheesh!
OK, read carefully, Ed Burke has a court order mandating he must have a police detail for his personal safety. Whenever he needs one, he goes down to the judge, just pick one, and gets a new court order. He has been doing this for a long time.
Ed Burke is on the Cook County Democratic Party Central Committee. (CCDP Central Committee) He runs it, in fact.
The CCDP Central Committee has the really tough job of slating judges for election. Without the blessing of the CCDP Central Committee a person's chances of getting a spot on the judges ballot are about as good as a Republican getting elected mayor. None.
So, each election time the new crop of trained seals, er, um, candidates for a spot on the ballot for judge trot on down for an "interview" in front of Ed Burke and John Daley. And a phone call also helps, mandatory in fact, if you expect a shot at a ballot spot.
So with the blessing of Ed Burke, and only with that blessing, a person has a very good shot at being elected judge. That is how fair and square elections for judges work around here. If Ed says you are in, you are in. If Ed says out, you are out. Period. O U T
So with most all of the judges in Cook County owing their employment to Ed Burke, how hard is it to get a "judge's order" requiring a police bodyguard detail? Not hard at all, not at all.
About any judge in Cook County will give Ed Burke a judge's order granting Ed anything he wants.
Take that to the bank.
Oh, people don't worry. You are forgetting that even though the citizens of Illinois and Chicago are not allowed to CCW, aldermen can legally carry and make arrests. You see, they have badges, a law that goes back to 1872. LMAO. This is one wacky state. The aldermen will protect you.

6/21/2011 06:14:00 PM
Don't forget Mrs. Burke. Anne Burke. Illinois Supreme Court Justice Anne Burke. Her body needs guarding too. And her doors need opening, her bags need carrying and her groceries need picking up.
Ed Burke will have as many police on his detail as he wants for as long as he wants.
Ed has around $7 million in his campaign fund. He runs unopposed every time. That is where he funnels his tribute.
Whatever happened to use the furlough by the end of the year or lose it? Why can't I save all of mine and cash it in at the end of my career?
Wait a minute the cameras were running and Hackensack Mack was not there. Is he sick?
cameras? how about police radios that work in the subway? also a dispatcher that speaks human!
off the mark but of interest
Ex-top cop Weis got $76,308 for unused vacation
The Sun-Times reports: Former Chicago Police Supt. Jody Weis received a check for $76,308 for unused vacation days when he resigned his $310,000-a-year job on March 1. His former $168,438-a-year chief-of-staff Mike Masters left with $30,448 for 54 unused...
Was there a car chase on 90/94 tonight? I saw about 15 cars flying toward the city with lights on around 10pm.
So when I get jumped by a flash mob on the train, I can ask to see the video later so I can see myself mugged.
6/21/2011 02:03:00 PM
It'll be like great America after you get off the roller coaster (city of shitcago cta, gold cost etc) they will try to sell you a picture for a memento.
The cameras will watch all of you citizens all of the time. The beginning of the new communist regime. BIG BROTHER. Please tell your alderman you hate the cameras and you feel the cameras violate your personal freedom. (As if they would do anything anyway).
I say put cameras in the mAYORS OFFICE AND HOME.
Put cameras in the superintendents office.
Why put them in a place they are ineffectual.
Let's see what the politicians are doing. As if they would deliberate in the cameras view....
OT-Jfled has screwed us again. During his time as supt he arranged it so that as a civilian he could get the same vacation days that sworn get, and although he was not entitled to vacation days during his first year he is claiming he is owed 25. He stands to walk away with an addition 300 grand. Someone should get the michigan ave thugs to take this shit head out!
6/21/2011 11:57:00 AM
Weis was a lying scumbag that turned out to be a typical thieving member of the Daley crew. All that said, everything you wrote is factually wrong. As Jack Webb said many years ago, "Just the facts ma'am".
OT: Jfled gets almost 77,000 paycheck for 64 unused vacation days over three years...wtf, why cant we accumalate our days?
6/21/2011 08:35:00 AM
Exempts can request to get paid for unused furlo days. As long as the city signs off on it, they get paid.
That's one of the things exempts have, because they are so valuable, they might not get all the v-days they are entitled to.
You however WILL take your days and not get paid for them.
It's kind of in the 'non' contract the exempts have. I think it's more of a City Department of Personnel thing, than a CPD thing.
I'm sure some exempt reading this will chime and and tell us if I'm right or wrong.

REAL peacfull! Its the cameras. Thats the thing thats responsible for the crime reduction!
Wonder if Rahm and Claypoole had to look in the phone book to find a company to install all these cameras. I bet. Some connected contractor made quite a haul on this bogus deal. NOW IF THEY WOULD ONLY HIRE SOMEONE TO WATCH THE MONITORS TO CATCH THE BAD GUYS.
Apparently not only do we have to watch out for the savages on the streets but now we have to watch out for savages in uniform(cops) too. At the 10-1 shooting on 76th/ingleside, a shitbird punched a 006th district tact guy and when the tact guy tazed and tried to place shitbird in custody a cop in full uniform(black shitbird copper) jumped and punched the 006th district tact guy attempting to stop him from making the arrest. UNFUCKING BELEIVEABLE !!!!!!! One of many fucking coppers put on this job due the race card. This is not bullshit, I got this from someone who saw this happen but because all the shit going on they were unable to get this shitbird coppers name because he ran off.
This is true I saw it.. Cd officer is arresting shit head... See him trying to place him in custody at which time a female f/1 pushes him off saying leave him alone... Then a six district m/1 officer sticks in saying the same... Thank god someone broke it off... Cd Officer was furious..
6/21/2011 05:16:00 AM
Unfortunately, this did happen. I was pushed in the face by the m/1 officer from 006 while attempting to break up the police scuffle. My partner and I tried sensibly talking to him afterwards. Sadly, he apparently has a chip on his shoulder and said, "it wasn't me." Instead of just saying, "Sorry if I did that bro, I didn't mean too." Just, "it wasn't me" and a rude look at me and my partner.
Very embarrassing moment. The f/1 officer from 003 and m/1 officer from 006 should look into other employment. They're lucky no CR was generated and it was squashed by the bosses.
With the "undercover" cta they cut the 4th watch the plain clothes cta special for summer wtf!!
How about cameras in fop office? So we can watch where "our money" is being wasted! Was at meeting seems mikey shields just bought a new LINCOLN pimp daddy style,nice spending someone else s money right mike my child? Your like a man that gets paid on friday and spends everything but your using our money! Mike resign your a failure,mike don't think you were voted in because you were the best! The truth mike and you know it some coppers thought you were the other mike shields the "real police" Shields but of course your not! Can't wait to watch you negotiate away our rights and pay mike! Fuck mike you cannot even get the picnic together failure puts in nice kid!! Does anyone of your friends at fop work a full week or more than a "3 hour tour?"
"Even Oliver North doesn't have bodyguards!"
That's because he isn't a pussy, please don't compare Oliver North to Burke. Lt Col. Oliver North was tried and with the help of the ACLU (yep that's right) had his convictions overturned on the basis of a grant of immunity. Time will only tell with Burke.
Lt Col North served his country, and whatever your feelings are about Iran Contra, he had a military career that went beyond his running the Reagan era clandestine operation for which he took the fall. Burke would never take the fall for anyone. Burke received numerous draft deferments some of which were under suspicious circumstances.
There is one thing that is similiar. During North's unsuccessful campaign for a senate seat, he raised 20 Million dollars for his campaign. Burke has a considerable amount in his warchest, 8 million. The amounts are similar, who gave the money is not. North's campaign was largely funded from across the country by 100's of thousands of small contributions. Ed Burke, well, you can look up where his money came from if you want, but an example would be 17 grand from a guy named Calvin Boender, who Eddie later supported development projects to the tune of millions. You know Boender, convicted along with Ike Carothers.
North commpared to Burke, you were joking when you wrote that right ?
Very embarrassing moment. The f/1 officer from 003 and m/1 officer from 006 should look into other employment. They're lucky no CR was generated and it was squashed by the bosses.

This is why the CPD is screwed up.
You all are afraid to jam up those that deserve it.
Ya'll should just be TMA's or Crossing guards.
Or grow a spine and not only jam the shitbird PO's but the Boss that is protecting them.
Hostile Workplace Environment Lawsuit against teh 2 PO's and the Boss = Millions in Profit and you can even get the shitbird lawyer that loves to sue the city to be your attorney.
