Felon/Parolee Charged - Comments Closed
Chicago Police Supt. Garry McCarthy praised the “character and courage” of two officers who were wounded in a West Side shootout with an alleged drug dealer who was today ordered held without bond in connection with the incident.
Speaking at a news conference at the Cook County Criminal Courts Building, McCarthy said that Harrison District Officers [RDV] and [JF] were both ex-U.S. Marines and Iraq War veterans.
The two were out of Stroger Hospital and expected to make a full recovery.
This is an amazing story though:
In the chaos that ensued, [F] was able to give responding police a good description of the suspect before being taken to Stroger. [DV], who was treated and released from Stroger that night, returned to the scene “with the bullet still lodged in his arm” and led detectives on a walk-through of the crime, McCarthy said.
That information, along with descriptions from a witness, led police to Jones, who was arrested at home about five hours later, according to police and prosecutors. A gun that matches the description and caliber of the weapon used in the shooting was found in an abandoned home a few doors away.
Both officers identified Jones as the gunman in police lineups, authorities said.
- Jones was on parole for a drug conviction at the time of the shooting and has five other felony convictions in his background, including a 2006 conviction for possessing a gun, court records show.
The Illinois Department of Corrections Web site indicates that Jones was imprisoned at Pinckneyville Correctional Center before being paroled on July 28. His parole was set to terminate next Thursday.

savage animal running the streets!
There needs to be a three strikes law in Illinois. If the fucking liberals do not like it, let them take the mutt into their homes.
Alvarez and her jackass lawyers only go real hard after policemen, a low life gets more respect in the court. They cannot win a case against any one unless the defendant is a cop and the FIX is in. Been there done that!
Semper fi MARINES!
OT: Did anybody else see that piece of shit MCNUTTY at the press conference with the police hater ANUTTA. MCNUTTY is such a piece of shit if anybody stands behind him they are making a huge mistake. He will go down in history as one of the worst superintendents in Chicago police history. He will make the FED look like Sherlock Fucking Holmes, mark my words.
Dear SCC this is my first post,
On Monday, July 18, 2011 I was on furlo enjoying the day with my family. After 25 years on the job we enjoy each furlo more and more. That night while asleep I received a call “Were you sleeping?” “Yes”
“ Ruben has been Shot.” My heart sank. You see one of the officers who was shot on Monday night is my dearest cousin. My son and I immediately picked up my cousins grandparents and took off to the hospital. Many thoughts raced through my mind but one in particular stood out and that was the day he told me he wanted to be a Chicago Police Officer. And so it was. He was now the 5th Chicago Police Officer in our family. His mother, father and our entire family are very proud of him. He asked me to attend his ceremony at the academy and pin his star on him. As He stood there proudly in his uniform my eyes welled up with tears and I pinned his star on him. Today I am racing to the hospital because he has just been shot. When we arrived at the hospital and the doors to the E.R. were opened we were met with our CPD Family assuring his mother, grandparents and my son and I that he was in stable condition. The Superintendent immediately met us, also, all our Brothers and Sisters in Blue, Doctors and Nurses, the Detectives, the 1st Deputy, Sgt.’s, Lt.’s, Chaplains, Exempt members, FOP. The love and support shown and given was beyond words. We felt so blessed and humbled. When we saw my cousin and his partner and where they were shot, one word came to mind “Miracle”. We thanked Almighty God for having protected them both. Today is a good day. Today two officers are alive and recovering. Today families are smiling and not crying. Today an evil thug has been arrested and charged for the attempted murder of two police officers. Today on behalf of my family and myself we want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all who were on the scene, to all who were at the hospital, to all who were with us, to CPD Brothers and Sisters who worked tirelessly in apprehending the offender, to SCC for your prayers and blog, and to all the other agency’s who sent their prayers and help, Thank You from the bottom of our hearts. Stay safe, take care and watch each other’s back. God Bless and Protect all of you always.

God bless these officers. Young, brave and bad ass mother fuckers. These guys have so much lead in them they could be pencils, yet they stuck around to give a description and then come back to help with the investigation. Awesome!
I cancelled my subscription to the tribune and they offered me a "deal" to re-subscribe.
I told them no way. They think the First Amendment applies only to them.
I read SCC - I know more about what is really going on than if I read the Trib, the SunTimes AND Crains together.
For all the "journalists" who troll this site - start being politically accurate, instead of politically correct.
So I had my opinion of Mcarthy completely firmed up today. Ran into him during my tour...with him and his entourage...and he didn't even acknowledge our lowly presence. He didn't wave or nod or even flinch. I was in full uniform. What a pompous ass...without those of us in blue he has no department to run. He just made it very clear to me he doesnt have my back nor any of ours for that matter.
I had tried to keep an open mind about this man...but his actions sealed his fate in my book...won't trust him as far as I could throw him.
How about suing Quinn, Alvarez, Devin and the stupid judge who allowed a known REPEATED CONVICTED VIOLENT PAROLEE to roam the streets? Due to their negligence of properly prosecuting a repeated violent offender has now resulted in an attempted murder of two police officers!
This is the type of felon that Jesse Jackass wants to be able to vote again. This is also the type of "non-violent" offender that Quinn released to prey on citizens.
Thank you democRATS. You're doing a great job here.
Oh, and the Tribune closed comments again.
SCC: I want the truth!
fibune editors: [shouts] You can't handle the truth!
He should get the Death penalty ,right Pat?!!
Pat?! PAT ? Oh,PAT ??????
We're going to go out on a limb here and say Jones has never contributed in any way, shape or form to society in any legal manner whatsoever. Yet he roams the streets, dealing dope, shooting cops and who knows what else. He needs to be put down like the rabid animal he is.
That is about 90% of the shit we deal with everyday.
Another thing Gmac needs to learn is that there is no such thing as an "EX" Marine. Once a Marine, always a Marine! Semper Fi!
People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

Pretty soon Rahm will be requesting that PO's mentor a released felon on parole, just like he wants teachers to visit students in their homes.
Why doesn't 9.5 go to a few homes during the year himself?
Why don't Dems understand that no accountability and free everything to ghetto rats has put us in the fiscal state we are in??????
..to preserve whats left of our society, always vote Republican. We have no other choice.
Don't forget Cook County President Preckwinkle is attempting to not have offenders convicted of drug related offenses housed in jail. She said why should the citizens pay to house individuals for non violent drug offenses. I still can't believe this didn't get more attention! Hope them guys make a speedy recovery.
it looks like jones has used his last get out of jail free card up--- after committing multiple felonies against the city of chicago and the people of illinois it took his attempted murder of two chicago police officers to hopefully keep him in jail until he is shitting in his pants---
.the Democrat hacks count on the machine status quo to keep them in their phoney positions. Any surge in Republican voting could begin to effect change. It cant happen by osmosis. Remember, its government by the people.

New boss is same as the old boss. J-Fled used to avert eyes and run the other way rather than look at or speak with a blueshirt.
First and foremost, thank God the two brave officers were not killed or more seriously injured. We all hope they make a full recovery. Secondly, with all the griping going on about the CPD, the story of these two former Marines shows that the CPD is still recruiting and training very high quality indviduals who take their oaths of office seriously. It is comforting to know, as a citizen, that we have such people protecting us from the animals who roam the streets of Chicago. Finally, it is the judges and the liberal Democrats who are to blame for this near disaster. With 5 felony convictions including one involving the use of a gun, how can this savage be on the street? The judges don't sentence criminals severely enough and the jelly spined governor with his liberal, progressive attitude directs the IDOC and the Parole Board, both of which he controls, to give convicted felons early releases. Stay safe and know that this citizen and, I believe, most others appreciate the job that you are doing under extremely adverse circumstances.
God Speed to a full recovery for these Officers.
This animal will get what is coming to him, just let it be sooner than later..
Put the online petition up to eliminate security details. You let 40 post go up about vest covers by the same person and won't put this up? This would bolster our voice because we keep blogging and rarely anyone listens. We need to figure out how to put the good ideas generated here into action and a petition is a great place to start.
When Alveraz announced her run for Cook County States's Attorney most people knew then that the establishment would get behind her. Afterall, she was experienced, a women and hispanic. Can't lose on that one. This is a liberal county and a conservative just can't win. A conservative will be blasted for their views on issues that they can't possibly influence during thier term in office. I certainly hope that how Alvarez handled the investigation into the cousin of the mayor comes back to haunt her in the next election. The problem is, however, who will run against her? Who has the money and the name recognition? And, the press most certainly will be in her corner along with Sen Durbin, Gov. Quinn and Preckwinkle.

EX-US Marines ? I thought the proper respect is Former Marines and Iraq War Veterans.
SCC- though I was raised to be a devout Catholic, truthfully, I wasn't sure I believed in "a" devil until I moved to the city of Chicago and breathed the devil’s stink, witnessed it shimmying up the drainpipes and crawling out of the woodwork. And then I got what a cop’s job here is all about. And for certain my belly and heart felt God and the power of his angels during the swift, expert response of the Chicago Police Department post these shootings of two of their own very young fellow officers. And hearing that this piece of filth, the devil incarnate, has been entrapped, shackled, deflated? Kudos CPD. May God bless every officer in this city and keep you all safe from what you will never not be up against.
Thank you for the auspicious writeup. It truly was as soon as a enjoyment account it. Glance complex to far brought agreeable from you! By the way, how can we communicate?
We must be really loud and vocal about getting something into place to make judges, states attorneys and governors accountable for allowing these animals out early. That is the only way!!!!!

Big deal. The man has got a job to do ... let him do it. He was there and will NOT run from the sound of the gunfire. Quit your crying and do YOUR job and his will be easier. And maybe next time he will say hi.

The dude has been here less than two months... I highly doubt your story of seeing him while on your tour is completly untrue... now go have another busch and think of another witty and hilarious comment to post... stroke
A woman told police her boyfriend fired several blasts from a shotgun over her head after she turned down his marriage proposal.
Exactly what happened to me back in 78' when I turned down my girlfriend's marriage proposal!

This is the Gang Crime Witness protection act. This entire act is scheduled to be repealed 01 July 2012. Why are all the programs relating to gang crimes being softened by legislatures???
My partner and I were patrolling that night and I will never forget thinking, not again as I listened to the officer call out that that he and his partner had been shot. I raced to the scene and I just felt scared for my fellow brothers, rage against the offenders, and frustration because you want to exact justice. This virus, nothing, piece of mierda needs to be given the the rope, needle, chair or chamber.
Meeting next Thursday... Gang Enforcement... Either this will be another of Leo's "rah,rah" speeches or possibly he will say thank you for all of your hard work your all getting dumped... Or...... He's getting dumped. Wait and see.. Next Thursday at Homan Square.

....C'mon guy, nows not the time for comments like that. Grow up 3 yr wonder
It's much easier for the State's
Attorney to let the offender plead out and avoid a trial than to take
him or her to trial and seek a
conviction. The S.A. office is just
plain lazy.
But by the same token, if a police officer is charged with causing
bodily harm to one of these P.O.S.
the S.A. Office will do whatever
it takes to get the officer fired
and some jail time and help the
P.O.S. family recover damages from
the city.
Hey crybabies bid out. Go to 015 or 011! Is anyone else sick of this statement? How about get some time on the job KID so you can get out of 011 and 015? You werent the only one who has been in those districts! Most coppers in slower districts were in busier districts back in the day and could run circles around you. How you like that KID ?

As many times as I have seen him he spoke to me once. I tried to accept this as him just being overwhelmed at first, but J-Fled and McSupe have much in common in that way. Neither will so much as look your way, much less say 2 words to you. I know J-Fled would bury his face in the Crackberry, if you were on the elevator with him and many have said McSupe learned how to do the same thing from reliable sources. Many people hated Jimmy Jackson, but one thing he always did was greet everyone and shake your hand. He knew how to give respect to the troops and he led by example. Cline was alot of things, but at least he acknowledged everyone also. If McSupe wants any respect, he better learn how to give it, instead of blowing everyone off like they are useless assholes and beneath him. You want respect, you sure as hell better give it. This guy is another arrogant jaakass.
What an impressive job by both the injured officers and the responding officers. Thank you all for your bravery and for getting this piece of shit off the street once again. It's a damn shame that he'll probably be out among us way sooner than he should, thanks to idiots like Anita Alvarez and the joke of a court system we have in this corrupt county.
Retired ISP
Impossible! You have good gun control up there in Chicago while we have over half a million citizens packing heat down here (guns that is, but yes it is HOT!)
And your rehabilitation system is so much better than what we have in Texas! We either throw them in the slammer or execute them (that's if the LEOs and citizens packing heat don't do them in first.)
Must be a mistake and he is innocent.
America as a whole is not serious about locking career criminals up. I just visited Germany and after talking to the police officers there, let me tell you. They don't play when it comes to crime. If an offender commits a felony; BYE-BYE! That is the way it should be. How the fuck did we get to the point where criminals who are likely to be a danger to society are free to roam as they wish?
did alvarez get her 15 seconds in front of the camera?
I feel for the officers injuries. I hope they will recover to 100 %. I also hope this animal spends the rest of his life behind bars. All he should have to look for ward to is jail house food and man love.
what was with McCarthy wearing the long sleeve shirt 3 sizes too big? doesnt he know its Summer Uniform time?
I inderstand a lot of police officers are for CC but the ones that are not, will they be acting like this?

You might also want to check the following for truth in reporting from a source that reprints the articles in the news today around this country and world wide...you will NOT read a majority of these reprinted articles in any obama-run socialist newspaper, etc. Please check them out and judge for yourself. I stopped reading all newspapers some time ago, and instead go to www.freerepublic.com, www.theblaze.com, just to name a few, for my morning update and throughout the day as the news comes in.
We're grateful to SCC for the news that we receive on this blog....we all need each other during these perilous times that try men's souls.
There is no such thing as an "Ex"Marine. Semper Fi gents.
How terribly sad these Iraq war vet's survive what was probably a couple of deployment's in combat only to be wounded in action at home.
A profound thanks for your sacrifice at home and abroad
I'm sure " Chesty " is proud of you.
This mutt's rap sheet is unbelievable but all too common. The more convictions he gets the less time in IDOC he gets. How the hell does that work?
Unfortunately I could not agree more. I was in TRU when he disbanded us I thought ok lets give it a shot-no unit is forever. But the more I see and hear from him the more I am starting to believe we are no better off than when we had the Fed. This mutt is as arrogant as Jody and has the knowledge of a City policeman-that knowledge and experience can be dangerous to a working policeman
Don't you guys know, that New Yorkers and New Jersey folks have a total arrogance to them, McCarthy is the same way, He was on scene monday Night at the police shooting and he just talks down to you, I don't know if he is trying too hard, or if me, as a chicago raised copper have an attitude, I just don't know, but I do know that we must have somebody on the department that could lead us, and I was glad to see Daley go, well, I'm rethinking that too, this little man was have as a Mayor is brutal.
This mcCarthy just seems DUMB. He's a terrible spokesperson . Doesn't know what to say or when to say it. This guy must be the ultimate puppettool, to get the job he got.

Want a friend? Buy a dog.
Why the fuck would the superintendent start shaking your fucking hand while you are in uniform, standing around, doing nothing. Is your heroic dedication so obvious that every fucking boss has to thank you for standing around doing nothing.
If the superintendent were so insecure that he had to grovel around me for my love and affection, then I would probably quit on the spot.
He has a job to do. I have a job to do. I'll do mine whether or not he does his. In fact, my job has very little, if anything, to do with him.
I have news for you. You are no fucking hero. You are doing a job and getting paid to do it. Be thankful you have one because your city work mindset has made you unemployable in the private sector.
Way OT here.....and a (pissed off) civilian post at that......
How can I help the CPD? Can I volunteer to watch camera's in high-crime areas? Can I help do routine and boring surveillance? Can I help summarize any data, or, prepare crime reports? (I have a M.A. degree in Statistics). I imagine I'm not the only pissed off, 5'10 200lb athletic male in Chicago that wants to help protect this city. Why not leverage and channel my rage into something productive, rather than having me think about what kind of handgun/silencer combo I'm going to be getting (advice on that is welcomed too, by the way). What if there are thousands of me? All that combined volunteer time, totally going to waste. Tragic.
Thanks for any advice.....

She said why should the citizens pay to house individuals for non violent drug offenses.
------------------------
An excellent question at a time we can't afford to pay to keep violent felons in jail.
"Chicago Police Supt. Garry McCarthy praised the “character and courage” of two officers who were wounded in a West Side shootout..."
Talk about bending over and walking into the room backwards, pushing the door open with your a__.
The "character and courage" of the two officers was never an issue.
"Harrison District Officers [RDV] and [JF] were both ex-U.S. Marines and Iraq War veterans."
So? They're not the ones tearing up the neighborhoods all day and all night.
What a way to safely, harmlessly fill up TV time while carefully avoiding pointing a finger where it belongs -- the way SCC has. "[The shooter] Jones has never contributed in any way, shape or form to society in any legal manner whatsoever. Yet he roams the streets, dealing dope, shooting cops and who knows what else. He needs to be put down like the rabid animal he is."
THAT'S the problem.
here's the deal....in Cook County, no one does any real time for dope.....no one else does any real time for anything else (with minor exceptions)......the citizens have no idea....
Is it just me or is any other copper bothered by the fact that we have another outsider as the superintendent? Yesterday while watching the news Superintendent Garry McCarthy is in uniform. White shirt gold star...ect..ect..and im thinking thats bullshit he didn't earn that uniform. I feel the best person to run this department is someone inside the ranks who knows this department has worked the streets and knows what coppers do on a everyday basis. I dont care if he has police background, he still not chicago police, and he was chief of newark nj, thats not Newyork city, thats like a suburb dep over there.

Nobody is asking him to kiss our asses or bow down to us. But every once in a while, it is a courtesy to at least acknowledge your troops. You may be the Superintendent, but your shit smells the same and you have to wipe your ass like the rest of us. Your troops are the one that keep this city safe and from becoming a battle zone. Don't you understand that you are more respected by the troops by acknowlegding them and appreciate the job they do every day. You talk about being unemployable in the private sector and thankfully having a job. But you fail to remember or even think about the risks we are up against or the fact that when you leave for work, you may never return home. Take a damn look at the honored star case or the Memorial Wall and rant about how the guys and gals in blue don't deserve any amount of the slightest bit of respect from the Superintendent. We may be standing around at that moment, but in less than a blink of an eye we can have a gun pointed at us, shot at, or killed in the line of duty. Get off your fucking soap box. If you are a cop, you are the one who no one will work with for more than one shift, if that long. Just remember from the top down we are all the THIN BLUE LINE and a family like no other.

Quinn Pardons 50 For Past Crimes
Overall, Quinn has acted on 1,356 clemency petitions since taking office and denied 839 requests, including 111 on Friday, his office said. He has granted clemency 517 times, including 506 pardons. He has also authorized 10 people already pardoned to seek expungement of their convictions and granted one commutation among cases before the Prisoner Review Board.

Quinn just pardoned 50 more, you know, so they can get good jobs and get a second or 5th or 14th chance in life. Unlike murder victims who get no more chances.
"than having me think about what kind of handgun/silencer combo I'm going to be getting"
Get caught with a "can" you'll spend ten years in the can. Buy a used snub nose 38. Buy and PRACTICE with regular velocity soft lead wadcutters.Fire about a hundred off in prcatice and don't clean the barrel until after you use it socially, then scrub it with chore boy wrapped on your bore brush. Dress in muted tones (maybe wear a bright baseball cap that you can stash in a pocket. Leave nothing behind. Have several exit routes planned. Whatever you do act like you belong there. Very few people notice the world around them. Tell no one, ever. In the rest of the country just ignore the above and get a CCW.
OT. In one of the posts the other day someone said they couldn't find Rahm's house and there is no record of him paying tax. Look a little harder, it is there. His taxes last year were $15,110. He paid his first installment this year on Feb 21, a little over $8000. Sorry to ruin your dya, but 9.5 is up to date.

Many people hated Jimmy Jackson, but one thing he always did was greet everyone and shake your hand. He knew how to give respect to the troops and he led by example. Cline was alot of things, but at least he acknowledged everyone also. If McSupe wants any respect, he better learn how to give it, instead of blowing everyone off like they are useless assholes and beneath him. You want respect, you sure as hell better give it. This guy is another arrogant jaakass.

-Not A Cop
The Tribune had a story about McCarthy today and I had to respond, Im not a cop and do not live in Chicago but I'm sick of reading about WHAT THE PROBLEM IN CHICAGO IS I expect to have my posting privlage suspended by the TRIB but I don't give a damm!!!

Mc Carthy is nothing more than politican, google his name and be prepared to reed about a power hungry out of control drunk misfit cop from New York!!! If this guy was soo good why did he leave New York??? Guns are not the problem in Chicago, young BLACK and PUERTO RICAN gang bangers are!!!! Go to www.secondcitycop.com and listen to the cops who are dealing with this kind of trash on a daily basis. Untill the city admits what they have to do to deal with these criminals the violence will continue. If you want to ask some questions about what is really going on , I challenge the Trib to ask the judges that are letting these gangbangers go time and time again why they can't keep this trash in jail, or better yet ask the States Attorney about reducing charges or not charging these criminals at all. As for the idiots that are stupid enough to shoot at a cop, I like to go back to the old untouchables movie, "They put one of yours in the hospital, you put one of theirs in th morgue, THATS theChicago way""" Jim Crow??? How about "Blue Crow? you shoot at us we will kill you" and by the way I'm not a cop!!!
Lets START voting OUT those who let criminals go free to go out and do harm on those in our city.
EVERYONE list states attorneys and Judges that let everyone free!
.....So I had my opinion of Mcarthy completely firmed up today. Ran into him during my tour...with him and his entourage...and he didn't even acknowledge our lowly presence. He didn't wave or nod or even flinch. I was in full uniform.....
After reading this observation and that of several others with negative comments, I will say this;
Many years ago I was sent by the front office staff of my dist. on a messinger run to 1121. S. State to deliver some sealed papers to James A. Maurer, Chief of Patrol.
I was to wait for a response and return to the district. His secretary announced me and I could hear him say just send him in. He greeted me like I was an old friend he had known for many years and yet I had just met him.
This has been the case with quite a few of the old CPD bosses, not all mind you, but still it made you feel good and you felt like you were an equal to somebody and not another robot in the system.
I have seen many of the old Supt's arrive at the scene of various crimes and they would always give you the nod, or a wave to acknowledge your presence.
This new command staff has apparently lost that feeling that we are all working together.
Perhaps this message needs to be forwarded to the Mayor and the New Supt.?

This is the Gang Crime Witness protection act. This entire act is scheduled to be repealed 01 July 2012. Why are all the programs relating to gang crimes being softened by legislatures???

Because Illinois is a Gangster State, and we all know Gangster's all stick together
Get well soon officers! TAKE A LONG IOD VACATION!

Way OT here.....and a (pissed off) civilian post at that......
How can I help the CPD? Can I volunteer to watch camera's in high-crime areas? Can I help do routine and boring surveillance? Can I help summarize any data, or, prepare crime reports? (I have a M.A. degree in Statistics). I imagine I'm not the only pissed off, 5'10 200lb athletic male in Chicago that wants to help protect this city. Why not leverage and channel my rage into something productive, rather than having me think about what kind of handgun/silencer combo I'm going to be getting (advice on that is welcomed too, by the way). What if there are thousands of me? All that combined volunteer time, totally going to waste. Tragic.
Thanks for any advice.....

There is a process for citizens to be cleared to watch the POD cameras in the districts. Contact your local district CAPS office and ask about it.
So I had my opinion of Mcarthy completely firmed up today. Ran into him during my tour...with him and his entourage...and he didn't even acknowledge our lowly presence. He didn't wave or nod or even flinch. I was in full uniform. What a pompous ass...without those of us in blue he has no department to run. He just made it very clear to me he doesnt have my back nor any of ours for that matter.
I had tried to keep an open mind about this man...but his actions sealed his fate in my book...won't trust him as far as I could throw him.
7/22/2011 02:24:00 AM
Awww was da poor wittle baby feelings hurt .. It's morons like you two who will never be satisfied who will be the Supe. So he did not kiss your ass ??? Like he is supposed to know who you are? Big deal. The man has got a job to do ... let him do it. He was there and will NOT run from the sound of the gunfire. Quit your crying and do YOUR job and his will be easier. And maybe next time he will say hi.
Listen ASSHOLE, any Boss should at least acknowledge your presence. Especially if you are in uniform. ITS CALLED COMMON COURTESY ASSHAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!
RDV is an outstanding officer who bid into 011 from 016 by choice. He is an example to his fellow officers. I don't know his partner but I assume the same. And I don't know for sure, but last I heard RDV is a an active duty reservist. So no "ex" or "former" anything. He's the real deal. I had the pleasure of working with him a few times. Great guy, devoted father and stand up police officer. I wish both a speedy recovery. God bless.
"Meeting next Thursday... Gang Enforcement... Either this will be another of Leo's "rah,rah" speeches or possibly he will say thank you for all of your hard work your all getting dumped... Or...... He's getting dumped. Wait and see.. Next Thursday at Homan Square."
--ok dude, we get it. Misery loves company.
How about suing Quinn, Alvarez, Devin and the stupid judge who allowed a known REPEATED CONVICTED VIOLENT PAROLEE to roam the streets? Due to their negligence of properly prosecuting a repeated violent offender has now resulted in an attempted murder of two police officers!

.................sorry can't sue them Would be nice though
It is sad to read the comments about the Superintendent not acknowledging the common cop at the scene - OR anywhere else.
Those that say he does not owe you that are TOTALLY wrong.
Some of you have been brainwashed for so long with Chicago clout politics that you don't know the qualities of leadership anymore.
Some of you maybe never saw any "true" leadership so you don't have a yardstick to measure McCarthy or anyone else.
A leader should recognize his men (and women) and give them the encouragement to do a good job.
Why wouldn't you recognize the guy at the frontline? He (or she) is the one making you look good - or bad to the person on the street, not the captains sitting at their desks or the backroom staff playing in the crystal ball unit.
Leadership starts at the top of ANY ORGANIZATION (public or private). You can tell how good or bad a company is based on their middle management. If they are a bunch of clowns or act unprofessional it is because whoever is at the top is the same way.
Go into a real first-class organization and you do NOT find any "jerkoff" bosses. They are not tolerated. The organization won't tolerate them.
Whoever is at the top sets the tone of the organization. As the saying goes, a first-class leader will surround himself with first-class managers. A second-class leader will surround himself with fourth-rate managers.
Why? The person on top is either very confident about his abilities OR he is insecure and doesn't want any subordinate gunning for his job.
In the case of CPD, you have a puppet, not a leader. And, with all the years of bad leadership, the organization has fourth-rate talent across the ranks of senior staff.
You need a Patton at the top to restore the quality and pride in the CPD. Unfortunately, if you did get him he would decimate the senior staff.
McCarthy is no Patton and J-FLED was like the soldier he slapped in the hospital.
Greg frrom downstate- You sir are 1000% coect.
The big boss can't acknowledge everyone at a scene. If your feelings got hurt, you are in the wrong profession. I have seen McCarthy and shot the breeze with him and a few other coppers. No big deal.
I can't believe someone is still singing the "Jimmy Mauer was a great boss" song. He took care of his own and is a big reason this Department is in the sorry state it is in. When he didn't get his way, he suddenly got religion and became a "whistle blower". I guess he just didn't see all the corruption when he was getting paid.
to all those short term p.o.'s who are whining about if McCarthy should be nice to you or not let me tell you this:
When I came onto the job the highest up you would go is MAYBE a lieutenant as far as talking to a supervisor. You didn't dare go into the watch commanders office without approval from the desk sgt, and then knocking on that door and waiting for the W.C. to acknowledge you and invite you in. Sometimes the W.C. would tell you to go away, so you did.
If you saw the commander walk in you said "Hi boss" and maybe, just maybe you got a nod. Anything above commander you didn't want to even see if possible. This place has started filling up with "he puts his pants on just like me, or his shit stinks the same as mine" people. That much is true but when speaking of that person remember this, their pants might be on like yours, their shit may stink just like yours but they have rank on you, they've either done the job so well to make it, or they are heavier than shit and got it "the chicago way" either way why would they want to bother with a blue shirt like you or me?
If your feelings really get hurt so much because a guy doesn't say hi to you, switch professions because this ones not for you.
As far as McCarthy goes? I still haven't made up my mind yet, but I will wait and see, it will take some time for him to either fuck up or help out.
He is here just looking for his next job. And I disagree, what school of thought maes it right for you to ignore your underlings???? It merely shows typical New York attitudes, he is the almighty and we are rubes. We do not know how to police and they do. I already miss Weis.
The only reason why we dont lock up felons and throw away the key, is a liberal society. These are their voters, and if they cant vote then their family votes. Violent crime needs to be met with violent punishment.
New boss is same as the old boss. J-Fled used to avert eyes and run the other way rather than look at or speak with a blueshirt.
It wasn't just the police. He treated everyone like that. Spouse was on a City Hall elevator with him and said "hello" as he got on, J-Fled just turned away.
Saw him at a neighborhood event, he wouldn't talk to any of the local people who came up to talk to him, would just walk away. No social skills.
OUTSTANDING, Marines! Heal Up soon! You GOT GUTS, and gut is ENOUGH! -FMJ: Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: "Private Joker, Private "Cowboy"- Do NOT exit your Humvee- Fire upon SIGHT of those slimy scumbags!

RDV and JF are both alike, thats why they teamed up as partners. JF like RDV chose to be in 011 He was class commander and was given his choice of district and chose 011.
You guys did a great job, and now just get healthy

Yes there was commanders who would just nod to you, but at least they nodded and just didn't look the other way and avoid you. I have seen great leadershoip in this department. Bosses who you would go to hell and back for. But they appreciated there men and treated them with courtesy and respect. Fine you are a boss, but it's the guys and gals on the street that make you look good or like shit. The best and greatest leaders, even when they chewed you out for a fuckup, tyreated you no different after that. You took it like a man and went forward. I worked for one of the biggest asshole commanders there was, but he would stand side by side with you when all hell broke loose. When you called for help he would show up with everyone else and when he needed help we were right there. He may have been sarcastic, but he made sure he was there for you. What you don't realize is nobody want their ass kissed or a speech on how great we are, but just to be acknowledged. Just a nod a wave or give us the finger. At least then we know you support the job the troops do day in and day out. It is called leadership. You want us to acknowledge those we work for, the citizens, at least acknowledge us. No one needs to be told they are supercop or the department would fall apart without them. We know better. Just a little acknowledgement. You don't have to pat me on the back, shake my hand or have a conversation. Just a nod is fine. I can respect that. Not if you treat us like we are not there and avoid looking at us.
Re scum tribune, that's why I d/c my subscription.
The coummunist-run Tribune only posts one-sided socialist-viewpoint propaganda. By shutting down the comments section confirms this.
