Another CFD Captain Attacks Police

Oh wait, our bad. This happened way back before 03 November.

But since the Tribune is just getting around to reporting it now, we figured it must be a new incident. We mean, why would the media hold onto a story involving the son of a former Fire Commissioner for almost two weeks?
  • The Chicago Fire Department has launched an internal investigation after a captain was accused of pushing a Chicago police officer to the ground as both departments answered a rescue call for two men who had fallen into the river near Goose Island earlier this month.

    The scuffle apparently did not hinder the rescue, and the two men were pulled from the water at about 1 a.m. Nov. 1 near the 1200 lock of West North Avenue. The police officer, assigned to the marine unit, later filed a report.

    No charges were filed, but Fire Department internal affairs investigators are looking into the conduct of the fire captain and other fire officials who were on the scene, officials said.

Would the Tribune like some more help determining who was on the scene? Because we have a list:

  • CFD ON SCENE: AMB 23 AND 53; ENG 2 AND 4; DIVE TEAM 688, 681, 687; SQUAD 1; TRUCK LADDER 10; BATT CHIEF 3
In fact, we have the complete narrative of the case report, and unless the Department has locked it down (which they may have), it can be located under RD# HT-569154 (use at your own risk).

Remember, this is one out-of-control politically connected individual who attacked a police officer - not the entire Chicago Fire Department.

The Tribune hates to RUSH into a News story with potential political backlash (until they can get an OK from Rahm's office) so they just sit on it for 14 days.

Kinda like Michael Sneed's team that sits on stories for 2/3 weeks to see if it's safe to use them.

(it's chicago communism at it's best)

My favorite line:

"...Langford said he did not know how long the investigation would take because investigators can only interview the firefighters during their working hours. "

Today is?? Nov 15 and the event was on... Nov 3. Do the math.

Why is it that this cities respect for the law is so strict that we'll lock up hundreds of people for being in a city park after 23:00 hrs, while not threatening anyone's safety..and here...yeah here... we have an alleged assault with an investigation going on for 12 days BECAUSE WE CAN ONLY INTERVIEW PEOPLE DURING WORKING HOURS?

What do you mean that you don't know how long it will take? You're the damn head of the fire department and we pay you to know these things.

It's getting pretty deep over here.

And regardless, Altman had no right to have any physical contact with any member of the CPD.

What was going on in 006 last night? I thought the Tact team was just about to walk out.

The Tactical LT GE is the worst around.

11/12/2011 08:03:00 PM

Let's get one thing straight, who ever wrote this does not know the tactical Lt. from 006th District. While most Lt's hide in nicer Districts this one is a REAL work horse, backs up his guys and girls and does REAL police work them in the field. Hell, he even saved the life of one of his tactical PO's that was shot last year in September by putting himself in the line of fire while dragging the PO on the ground to safety.

The REAL story is that the PO's in question are NOT from 006 but from 004. Brought to the district by the new cry baby Commander who can't understand why he hasn't been promoted (probably because he is not much of a people person to begin with or even understand when he see's the REAL POLICE doing EXCELLENT police work). This 406 team, because that is what they REALLY are, were suppose to change their days off to allow a 006th district tact team to go to G8/Nato riot training which is mandated by the Department. However, this did not settle well with THOSE primadonas being the Commander EC's hand pick people. Oh well when EC realizes that if you have FAITH in the tactical teams of YOUR district, YOU too might be able to make DEPUTY CHIEF!

11/14/2011 04:19:00 PM

----------------

Never worked in 006 but had the pleasure to work several details and such with GE as I work in a district in Area 2, and my take is that he's a GREAT boss who looks out for his troops. If our tact lt (a pretty boy political hack) had half the stones GE does, I'd be ecstatic. Obviously the original poster didn't get his way and GE wouldn't kiss his ass.
Give me GE as a boss any day!!

All right: 1st: This should have never happened to get to this point. I'm sorry for the injuried P.O. BUT from reports that I've heard(unconfirmed If that's true) - there were maybe 6 P.O.'s on the scene- standing by " as the incident unfolded"/ WHY-= WHY did they Not take police action or any action. It's easy to 2nd guess But the least that should have happened was the CFD should at least have a PHD+++++ or broken nose. Instead of taking this to this level. It should have been settled right there. Instead it's turned into a little boys playground brawl where teacher has to settle it. By all means- NO one should get away with laying hands on an On-Duty P.O.

I originally sort of went to bat for the Captain. I never said he was right, I just said if it were me I would not want to put a felony on the guy. I still feel that way no matter how much of cocksucker he is. It sounds to me like his own guys don't even like him. But the difference between him and the regular moron is that pushing a cop down can cost you a whole lot of $ by losing your pension. That affects your wife/kids. I still feel the same way. But it is quite amusing to see the bosses and the city hierachy go into complete baffoon mode over this.

I am also a CPD applicant and I wish I could be standing next to you guys through this bullshit. Thank Rahm for only hiring 100 PO's next year, which means it will take me another 2 years of waiting before I get my chance.


Good luck and stay safe out there CPD, there are still many supporting you even if things don't seem that way.

Wasn't there, don't know the real story, but if you had a bunch of police officers just standing around and no one locked the goof up - shame on all of you. You may work in a clout heavy unit but at the core you are still the police. Shame on every cop who was on the scene.

OT Is it true that McGoof is actively recruiting supervisors from NY to come to Chicago to become commanders or higher. McGoof does not like many of the higher ups?

In an effort to increase the cover up by the fire department, the firemen were told not to prepare incident reports regarding what they observed. This is in violation of their directives. All of them are going to be jammed up.

OT: At Lakeview HS at the meeting about closing 019 McCarthy was well spoken but I still do not believe him. He swears not one officer will be sent to another district. I can't imagine how that is true but he seems to have the citizens convinced. Tomorrow is the vote so the City Council will no doubt approve it.

He was given a question about the 15 supposed beats in the new 023 vs. 18 in the two separate districts but the moderator screwed the pooch on the question and it went unanswered except that McCarthy claimed no beat maps are complete and they haven't done the redrawing the beats and that the beats will be exactly the same in the combined district.

We'll see.

McCarthy did say that with the old 019 lockup remaining open, if an officer makes an arrest and is close to Belmont-Western that a supervisor may approve an officer taking the prisoner into old 019 to process the arrest.

Or, maybe CFD has a boss who has the COMMON SENSE to keep his mouth shut and his opinions to himself while an investigation is in process, instead of acting the fool like our superintendent likes to do, running his mouth when he doesn't know the facts.

Hoff appears to have some intelligence and integrity. He's not in love with the sound of his own voice or the sight of his own face on television. Let's see how a real boss handles things, for a change.

They have a saying down south --

OT:

Bank of America advertisements on the bridge houses as hizzhonor whores out the city culture for a dollar.

So this is what it's come to.

The sanctuary city is leasing out the bridge houses for corporate advertising....and where's the millions of dollars going to go from that income?

Why to the CME group and Sears to pay for their tax breaks I guess.

So hey..can we get Dunkin Doughnuts to sponsor the police stations and CPD HQ too?

That would be pretty cool. This police station is courtesy of Dunkin Doughnuts on a huge banner.

If that works out we can then whore out advertising space on the police and fire uniforms and equipment. We could make the place look like NASCAR.

Ahh yes the "New Breed". What has happened to CPD? Never needed uniform inspections at award ceremonies in the old days. Coppers used to actually be professional enough to look good in their dress uniforms at the ceremonies. Never needed to have babysitter bosses inspect those getting awards. But then again we never had meritorious asshole bosses back in the old days either.
Next thing you know we will be like the CFD where the only way to get people to wear the proper uniform it will have to be issued to them because just like CFD the "New Breed" never had to dress professionally and actually look like police officers.
The job is lost, will the last "old timer" please turn out the lights when you retire.

Boy you're stupid. You actually think bringing even MORE freakin people from another state to be command is a good thing? Do you actually think this goof could choose anyone that would be good for this dept given the caliber of his own character thus far? Come on, do we have the kind of money to keep paying extra cash for command staff additions? Didn't we learn anything from all the FBI guys our last supt brought over? The stupidity of some people in this dept is amazing. No wonder we keep getting incompetent leaders.

Why would you even bother going to an awards ceremony anymore anyway? To have some jagoff boss give you a worthless piece of paper and pretend he likes you for an hour so he can brag to the supe yeah that's my officer. Unless they give you the day off to attend screw it. I got mine all sent to me and handed them at roll call from a boss I liked. Much more rewarding.

I was at the ceremony today and did not see anyone told to leave. A sgt was doing the inspection and i did see him make some remarks to officers about shoes, but didnt see him make that big a deal about it. I was in line with about 50 others and i could have posibly missed it, but like i said i didnt see it.

What was going on in 006 last night? I thought the Tact team was just about to walk out.

The Tactical LT GE is the worst around.

11/12/2011 08:03:00 PM

Let's get one thing straight, who ever wrote this does not know the tactical Lt. from 006th District. While most Lt's hide in nicer Districts this one is a REAL work horse, backs up his guys and girls and does REAL police work them in the field. Hell, he even saved the life of one of his tactical PO's that was shot last year in September by putting himself in the line of fire while dragging the PO on the ground to safety.

The REAL story is that the PO's in question are NOT from 006 but from 004. Brought to the district by the new cry baby Commander who can't understand why he hasn't been promoted (probably because he is not much of a people person to begin with or even understand when he see's the REAL POLICE doing EXCELLENT police work). This 406 team, because that is what they REALLY are, were suppose to change their days off to allow a 006th district tact team to go to G8/Nato riot training which is mandated by the Department. However, this did not settle well with THOSE primadonas being the Commander EC's hand pick people. Oh well when EC realizes that if you have FAITH in the tactical teams of YOUR district, YOU too might be able to make DEPUTY CHIEF!

11/14/2011 04:19:00 PM

----------------

Never worked in 006 but had the pleasure to work several details and such with GE as I work in a district in Area 2, and my take is that he's a GREAT boss who looks out for his troops. If our tact lt (a pretty boy political hack) had half the stones GE does, I'd be ecstatic. Obviously the original poster didn't get his way and GE wouldn't kiss his ass.
Give me GE as a boss any day!!

11/15/2011 07:17:00 AM

GE, GE, GE... Everyones talking about Lt GE.

Yep, he's the Police. And a pretty damn good one. Smart M-F'er too! He's usually the first one to go thru a door. He'll show you how to be the Police, and how to do paperwork.

He'll back you up, alright. Back you to the end.

***When you're RIGHT***

Wait a second, last time I checked, I dont need anyone to back me when I'm right. I need help when I'm WRONG. I need help when things go bad. (as they sometimes do)

At that point, Lt G.E. will be right behind you, pushing you off the curb nd under the bus.

With married bosses having inapropriate affairs with subordinates, speaking to the media about cases they have no knowledge of, crucifying department members to the media and jeopardizing investigations and inviting pending lawsuits, lying to the legislature and inflating statistics, publicly maligning the upper echelon of the Department... why, he SHOULD be outraged at the incompetent running the police department!

there were maybe 6 P.O.'s on the scene- standing by " as the incident unfolded"/ WHY-= WHY did they Not take police action or any action.

You're right, it's not a good thing that you are trying to second guess all those who were there (and you were not).

But if you want an answer, why not ask 1499? From everything I have read so far he was on the scene. Now, he may have been there when the call came out OR he may have been called AFTER the incident in question. That being said, he would have been the ranking officer on scene.

Who knows. Maybe the rank and file on scene attempted an arrest but were ordered not to by the Lt. But since CFD has been essentially stone walling the investigation, I'm probably wrong.

I originally sort of went to bat for the Captain. I never said he was right, I just said if it were me I would not want to put a felony on the guy. I still feel that way no matter how much of cocksucker he is. It sounds to me like his own guys don't even like him. But the difference between him and the regular moron is that pushing a cop down can cost you a whole lot of $ by losing your pension. That affects your wife/kids.

Ya, tell that to Bill Cozzi. Oh wait, he was just a blue shirt.
