What's Missing Here?

This is from yesterday's 9/11 Remembrance. Anyone notice anything odd?


Ok, every single one of you who said, "Rahm's finger," slap yourselves in the head so we don't have to do it.

You have the head of the Fire Department, the head of the city, and the second-in-command of the Police Department. That's odd to say the least. Back in the day (hell, even today), one can tell who is in favor by their proximity to the mayor at important events. You could also tell who was in for an ass-chewing. The comments in other postings hint that something large is brewing in the background. Keep your ears open, the rumblings are getting louder.

The current Supt. actually survived 9/11. His Dept. vehicle was destroyed and he nearly lost his life. He may have gone back to N.Y. to commemorate the event whith those who survived with him. Remember, to Rahm, Obama, Turbin Durbin, this is a photo op. To the Supt. this is a very personal matter, possibly life changing.

Could be your reading to much into it. He still has connections to NY and to 9/11 he may have had a commitment back there. Not that him staying there would be a bad thing...

Maybe the first in command of the PD was sick that day.

Personally, I am tired of the posturing going on by the politicians using the deaths of so many people for their own political purposes.

A lot of these guys are the same ones that flat out refuse to do anything useful to deal with Islamic terrorists. The blood of the next large group of victims is on their hands, but as always, they will skate.

Looks like the mayor was involved in an all night bender and just found out mcCarthy was going to NYC, so he left his suit for the mayor to wear for the ceremony, in his place. I would imagine political hacks have heroes for friends and McCarthy is no exception. New Yorker's have a special comraderie, some all gave and some gave all. We pray that chicago never has to endure such a tragedy, but us first responders have been diligent and will be ready for the call. Hopefully, kelly will keep him, in NYC and rahmmy will have to place shields as the new superintendente. Oooooh...this is going to be good

The day holds significant sadness for our Supt. If he chose to spend the day with family or in his home city, we can completely understand. Not to sound naive but when it comes to that day it's "hands off". I'd hope that there is tension between he and the Mayor, because Rahm already has his "jacket" tailored for delivery next May.

Yes, the Supe is missing. I am not his biggest fan, but maybe since he was right in the middle of the 9/11 attacks he would rather not be reminded about the events of that day. I was at ground zero in Oct of 2001, and I cannot begin to fathom the horror of the day of the attacks.

Let the man remember in his own way.

Well, here's one thing that didn't happen, but the story has a life of its own.

"At noon in Chicago, authorities sounded emergency sirens and church bells rang for a minute in honor of the nearly 3,000 people who perished in the 9/11 attacks in New York City, Washington and Shanksville, Pa."

http://www.therepublic.com/view/story/1989a81e893747c5a6014356b16f67a3/IL--Sept-11-Illinois/

Bullshit.

I was standing next to an open fourth-floor window with a clear view out for blocks, no obstructions, looking at an atomic clock for the "noon" time, holding an activated camera by the window to record the tribute.

N-O-T-H-I-N-G.

Not a sound.

Yes, this is offensive -- because it's an outright lie.

If you can't even manage a one-minute salute, what would happen in an emergency? What a hell of a day to prove this deficiency on.

"Authorities," you'll have egg on your face forever.

...signed, someone looking at two or three church steeples who knows how far bells carry, and who also remembers the citywide air raid siren tests at 10:30 every Tuesday morning. Those worked.

Maybe the Supt. returned home to the NY/NJ area to be with his peeps. I'm not mad at him for that. He lost friends at 9/11 too, and if he wanted to be with his peeps or family members of his deceased friends, I'm cool with that.
After all, Al's gotta have something to do too. SInce he got the top spot and cried those tears of joy at the ceremony, you've rarely seen him, and haven't heard a peep out of the man. Rahm probably had to hold a mirror to Al's nose to make sure he was breathing for that ceremony here the other day.

I believe that the Superintendent was not present because of his own personal involvement with 9/11 as a high ranking Police Officer with NYPD. He stated in an article that I read that he lost many friends including close personal friends. He also stated in the article that he wanted to left alone on 9/11 to deal with the anniversary of this tragedy. I cannot argue with this if it indeed bears some type of bad memory for him. Let it go!!!

I thought Gmac went to New York for Sept. 11th. It would only make sense. This guy isn't going anywhere. Rahm needs an outsider to be the hatchet man and do the dirty work. It would be too hard for an insider to hurt coppers, but Gmac would have no problem doing it.

SCC may not want to post this and I would understand. Just let me know you got it as we don't want to give him any ideas.

Look for Rahm and the Aldermen to take a large ceremonial pay-cut, 20-25% then throw that in our face during contract talks. If we can cut ourselves 25% you can take a 5 or 10% pay cut. How would an arbitrator view that?

Of course, Rahm would funnel money to himself and his pals in other ways and their pay cut would only be temporary.

He said he didn't know where he would be on the anniversary, but he knew that he would be alone, because that is what he does on every 9-11 anniversary.

There is nothing about him almost getting killed when his car was crushed. He said his car was crushed by falling debris because he was in a command post about one block away when both buildings collapsed.

He said 13 people he knew died and 2 were good friends.

Just the facts...as reported by Mccarthy himself.

Well, here's one thing that didn't happen, but the story has a life of its own.

"At noon in Chicago, authorities sounded emergency sirens and church bells rang for a minute in honor of the nearly 3,000 people who perished in the 9/11 attacks in New York City, Washington and Shanksville, Pa."

http://www.therepublic.com/view/story/1989a81e893747c5a6014356b16f67a3/IL--Sept-11-Illinois/

Bullshit.

I was standing next to an open fourth-floor window with a clear view out for blocks, no obstructions, looking at an atomic clock for the "noon" time, holding an activated camera by the window to record the tribute.

N-O-T-H-I-N-G.

Not a sound.

Yes, this is offensive -- because it's an outright lie.

If you can't even manage a one-minute salute, what would happen in an emergency? What a hell of a day to prove this deficiency on.

"Authorities," you'll have egg on your face forever.

...signed, someone looking at two or three church steeples who knows how far bells carry, and who also remembers the citywide air raid siren tests at 10:30 every Tuesday morning. Those worked.

Let me say a few things to you sir... (you may be correct) I have no reason to question you - I don't know if the "sound(s)" were not present where you were, but they were where they had the numerous "Dog and Pony Shows" for the various politicians _ that much I guarantee. Write your local politician, maybe they will explain why they felt the need to use various Departments as their props - you may get lucky and they MAY answer you seeing as how we are EXTREMELY UNDERSTAFFED in the first place and also because it may have been a HISTORIC date of opportunity to a group of RELIGOUS ZEALOTS who wish to have put a good ole=fashioned hurt'n on us...thank GOD they didn't. Anyway, to answer your question - sleep well knowing that we are (not) everywhere and we will (not) be there as soon as we can...(not really our choice, take it up with your alderman/woman)...

The current Supt. actually survived 9/11. His Dept. vehicle was destroyed and he nearly lost his life. He may have gone back to N.Y. to commemorate the event whith those who survived with him. Remember, to Rahm, Obama, Turbin Durbin, this is a photo op. To the Supt. this is a very personal matter, possibly life changing.

I agree. 9/11 is a rough day for everyone and a personal matter the way it's handled. 9/11 is one thing G shouldn't be judged upon.

Look for Rahm and the Aldermen to take a large ceremonial pay-cut, 20-25% then throw that in our face during contract talks. If we can cut ourselves 25% you can take a 5 or 10% pay cut. How would an arbitrator view that?
++++++++

That is a 20% to 25% cut of much more $ than any one of us makes in salary. Hellooooooooo, FOP. Make sure you point that out.

Thanks! I'm sure it was nothing to get someone to turn on the siren on their squad car at one of these events, and maybe to get a nearby church to ring its bell, but hat's all we got; all the news stories are wrong, and there was no one-minute tribute that carried over the city.

Certainly no one is blaming the police; all the churches are in
the phone book, and yet no one in city government made this
request to them.

It is my understanding that the network of powerful mechanical
air raid sirens was dismantled many years ago, and that no equivalent warning system now exists. No one who heard it could
ever forget the sound.

The last I heard, over ten years ago it had to be, OEMC had installed "a system of powerful loudspeakers along the lakefront
to give warnings," but that the system did not work properly
when tested. I never heard any more about it.

My point is that it would seem that NO CITYWIDE EMERGENCY WARNING SYSTEM EXISTS, and that news stories about a one-minute citywide tribute on September 11 - of all days -- WERE MADE UP.

Emanuel can find seven million or so for another "nature
preserve," though. In the middle of a Depression, yet...

"The current Supt. actually survived 9/11. His Dept. vehicle was destroyed and he nearly lost his life. He may have gone back to N.Y. to commemorate the event whith those who survived with him."

If this is so, a quiet statement that "Supt. MacCarthy is paying a courtesy call to the 9/11 ceremonies in New York" would have been appropriate.

We didn't get that either.

And if he can't then he needs to go. All he has shown us so far is shit from NYPD. Just because the NYPD does something does not mean it will work in Chicago!

This is the CPD and we need someone who has a vision for this dept the CPD, not old shit from NYPD. If that is all you got then McNutty you need to head back to the east coast.

Just another example of shiny light catching a retards eye. He is not wearing a tie? Who gives a fuck? All politicians shit can the tie when they are trying to portray themselves as "hardworking and down to earth." Usually they roll up their sleeves too. Bitch about something that matters. Complaining about goatees, black vest covers, and ties makes you look like a total dumb fuck.

Arrest mandatory only if you observe injuries or think victim is too fearful to do it themselves. However case report is required per G.O. If a crime occurred. Learn your job.

Yeah, you said it all right ... a mouthful of shit. You're asking what happened so you weren't there, yet you're bum rapping "bosses" for not taking action for something you're not really sure that happened. Let me tell you that a lot of P.O's domestics are 19-P's as well when it can be done and won't blow up in your face.

The Cubs must have really sucked the other night if everyone was watching the bleachers. At a Sox game sometimes there are murders in the stands, babies born, presidential candidates nominated, supreme court decisions passed, new Coca Cola flavor samples given out, etc. We don't see it, we just hear about it later, after the game in the parking lot or something because we watch the game because they're so GREAT! I understand eavesdropping at a Cubs game though. I did my taxes a Cubs game once.
