More Rumors
Rumor mill is on fire!
- O.T. but important. Rumor mill has been blowing wild lately! Of the ones I have heard of I have checked into many of them and those who know or are in the know gave me "the nod" so I know they are true. I can't tell everything because they will know where it came from, so pick them up from here, sift through...
The 024th district will be the next to close and be absorbed into 020.
A new system will be put into place to be on tact. No longer will the commander have a say so in it, it will be based on how many handcuffs you can get onto your duty belt...
McCarthy will look just about dead on this job after his scandal grows into the media. Just when it looks like he is gone he will suggest combining fire and police duties, that's right cross training! The idea is to reduce both fire and police numbers to save money.
The 009th district will have their man power reduced by 10% and the extra bodies will be sent to 015
The new unit rumors are TRUE and there will be a new unit put together by March to train exclusively for G8 NATO, they will be the go to team for any problems.
Hollywood comes to CPD, in the early part of 2012 look for an order authorizing ride alongs for a few Hollywood celebrities. It seems that there is a big CPD movie in development and Speilberg is donating bucks to the city coffers to have stars get realistic experiences, Eric Bana and Zoe Saldana are rumored.
The 019th district will still be in existence in a small way, the Tact teams will still be up and available under the old moniker of "19", this will be done because of the G8 NATO summit, shortly after the department will formally "disband" this unit of 30 by sending them where needed, thus keeping withing the contract.

Spielberg gave 100,000-dollars USC to the Rahm campaing. So that rumor might be true. You also have the city getting 100,000-dollars per episode of the bait car show.
The new unit rumors are TRUE and there will be a new unit put together by March to train exclusively for G8 NATO, they will be the go to team for any problems.
Anyone that goes is an idiot looking to get fired or locked up.
Speaking of combining duties with fire, we have to go to every fucking one of their ambulance transports so why not just give us the paramedic duties and bodies from CFD and make paramedic/police officer D2A.
That G8 summit unit will consist of all the officers qualified in riding on segways. It will be very hi tec and mobile unit. It will be based on the anti terrorism unit for olympics in china in 2008. Craziest stuff i have ever seen! Super formations of guys with submachine guns on segways!!! They also had some bad-ass net launchers!!!
An OT comment from a previous post...
from a No wonder i always get stopped. Do any of you have a clue.
This isn't about: My ride is bad ass that i got tint, Maybe you should do a research on AGENT ORANGE
This fucking state took my 3 digit veterens plate and gave me WINDOW TINT PLATES. And have been nothing but a hassle in this any way to make a buck city....
I don't get it. What does Pat Camden have to do with tinted windows?
Another rumor looks like mass transit will be gone after April! Airports will lose commander and lieutenants, will be under command of commander from 016 north and 008 south, sergeants will run watches,as manpower decreases with retirements doa police will take over more responsibilities! The LTS will be made acting XO's of districts!
Eric Bana and Zoe Saldana?
I'd rather have Michael Winslow and Steve Guttenberg ride along.
Only Svengoolie knows what the future holds for the CPD and he ain't talkin!
To most of this to quote Waynes world. Jah and monkies might fly out of my butt.
OT but important. That nosey motherfucker from hdqrtrs thats always got his ear to the keyhole was actually found with his ear stuck to a keyhole last night at 2300hrs by a building engineer that was changing flourescent lightbulbs to a greener, more ecologically friendly bulb when he discovered that nosey motherfucker had inadverdantly stuck his prying ear against the freshly painted rear door of the asst. supt's. office in an attempt to eavesdrop on a meeting amongst top police brass and city administration. "Apparently he was prone in that position for quite some time because the wet paint had time to dry right onto his ear and face." said the engineer who asked to remain anonymous. "I'm just surprised that a person can be absent from his desk for an entire day and even miss the end with not a single person wondering where he is or where his workload went. That's what really surprising." Fire officials didn't have far to come to assist as they were right down the stairs.
The new unit will be in effect, yes the old tact teams of 013, 019, 021 will be the members. They are going to be cross trained in gas, cut, and intensive ballistic riot response; whatever in the hell that means. It will be called the flying J squad and they will be using the 4300 and 4400 call signs.
I've already said it many times before on this blog. Tinydancer wants to combine the Chicago Police Department and the Chicago Fire Department into the Chicago Public Safety. He wants to get rid of our pesty unions and perhaps let us have a new one that will toe the Progressive line.
Pensions!!! Don't get me started...enjoy 'em if you got them...funds will run out soon. You can figure the rest out I hope, so get ready and start planning ahead. You can whine all you want but after what the Democrats have done to this country, don't expect much sympathies from the private sector.
All bullshit. Even the Hollywood part. A movie about the police does not fit Speilberg's m.o.
The comment about 024 is dead on, they wanted it to be a secret, but you know how that goes on this job; there are other districts as well..
The unit rumor, also probably true..
The others are pure speculation..
Really? Who makes this stuff up?
"I knew a guy, who talked to a guy, who slept with a broad from HQ, who had coffee with McJersey Shore's wife after she was released from Northwestern, who told me that...... You people need to just say what ya know and ya heard it from; otherwise it's just typical Shitcago BS.
Give me an event number, and move along. Nothing to see here.
Stay safe everyone
The new Movie will be a remake of Colors with a Police corruption angle ( how origina). The corrupt C
conflicted cop will be played by Ethan Hawke (of course ) and will have Erik Bana 50 cent Zoe Zaldana Michelle Rodriguez Harrison Ford and Jim Bellushi
It seems the "Let's Fling Shit Against The Wall" game is in full swing.
They can close every station in A/3 along with half of A/5 and send everybody to A/2 & A/4 and the native inhabitants will still be chasing & hitting each other with flaming dog shit on a stick.
The city should install a laugh track at 911 for the good citizens in A/3.
"Bwaaaaahahahahaaaa! You want the Po-WHO? We ain't got no Police to send ya! They're all babysittin' da West & South Sides!"
Policemen can't even be mad at this shit anymore because it's a fucking scream! 9.5 & McMouthbreather have GOT TO BE sweating, running & crying in their sleep!
Hollywood comes to Chicago?
Again with the too young, too pretty, too light in the ass, too perfectly coiffed Hollywood wistful thinking of who/what Chicago Cops are?
In the real world... Chicago Coppers are big, strong, tough as a $2.00 steak and meaner than the bull it came from.
They have crooked fingers, torn up knees/shoulders, bad backs, walk with a limp and have dark circles under eyes that have seen too much and gray hair that has been earned one strand at a time in the graduate School of Hard Fuckin' Ghetto Poleece Knocks.
Chicago Coppers ain't all saint but they aren't all sinner either.
Chicago Coppers can debate great literary works, quote scholars & philosophers and are opinionated about which cabbages to plant and which kings weren't worth a shit.
(Nod to Shakespeare)
If violence is the only language a fool understands, Chicago Coppers speak it fluently.
"It's in your eyes... You Chicago Cops have that mad-eye of murderous intent that civilians just don't get. Combat veterans know that eye..."
Chicago Coppers are generous to a fault and some of the funnest & funniest soldiers in God's Army.
Nobody in Hollywood with hard and hairy enough knuckles, eyes mad enough or back wide enough to do The Chicago Copper justice in any portrayal.
Chicago Code made us giggle...
The movie better have some box chevys gettin' up on the sidewalk real hard.
The 350 yellin', tires smokin' & hollerin' while the tail lights dance madly and get smaller in the dark blue-purple of 3am as the citywide crackles on the radios.
"Let's go Police dese muthafuckahs Podnah! Get 'em! Dere dey go!"
*whoomp-WHAAAAA!(2/1 kickdown) SCREEEEEE! WHAAAAAA-whoomp-WHAAAAA!(2/3 upshift)*
...Can you still hear 'em? The 350's?
Meh... Who are we kidding? The mojo-less federal model Chicago Police is what they wanted.
If any cop stays in the 19th district Tact they are all FJO's. If they allow the powers that be to deviate from the contract so they can get early ducks and take a 2 hour lunch for a few months they are some real selfish FJO's. Tell the boss to GTH, put to-froms in right now to go back to the watch.
The 009th district will have their man power reduced by 10% and the extra bodies will be sent to 015
Where do they come up with this crap? I have no faith or confidence in the current administration but most of the crap in this particular post border on the absurd and would set new standards for this plummeting department.
Divide and conquer. That's Rahm's mantra.
Tact based on the number of handcuffs on your belt---
Hahaha!!!
Great more 014th district "obstruction" arrests by Sgt. Spanish Webster and TEAM GHETTO.
"McCarthy will look just about dead on this job after his scandal grows into the media."
What scandal???
I call shotgun on the Zoe Saldana car.
A new system will be put into place to be on tact ... it will be based on how many handcuffs you can get onto your duty belt...
Meaning the bigger the belt, the more handcuffs you can fit on there? That bodes well for all the 300 pound bowling balls out there and should cut down on the medical time as well, since there will no longer be guys getting injured in foot pursuits. Those will be a thing of the past!
All the stars need to know is how to get an Event Number. The best crime fighting tool known to mankind.
McCarthy will look just about dead on this job after his scandal grows into the media. Just when it looks like he is gone he will suggest combining fire and police duties, that's right cross training! The idea is to reduce both fire and police numbers to save money.
And the CPD and CFD will be cross trained so that they may teach CPS students due to the high crime connected with CPS students.
Sounds so disorganized. I'm not quite sure how this type of inner working fits into a para military organization. Should be interesting to see the chaos that results. Could you imagine? I guess that's what you get when you have a private business man running his own occupation army.
"A new system will be put into place to be on tact . . . it will be based on how many handcuffs you can get onto your duty belt... "
----
And possibly it will be based on how one can explain himself so everyone understands what in the fuck he is trying to say.
" . . he will suggest combining fire and police duties, that's right cross training! The idea is to reduce both fire and police numbers to save money. "
--------
Someone explain how that will save money in a large city like Chicago?
Me thinks someone who wrote this is smoking rocks.
Eric Bana? He's HOT!!!!
024 is already turning into garbage. If they close 024 then it will get real bad. More and more professional criminals from the south and west side are moving into the north side districts. They can do what they want and they won't be bothered by the police. Since there are less officers up on the north side.
Send 10% of 009 to 015? I don't know if they noticed but we don't even have enough PO' s to man the beat cars every day in 009.
It goes to show you, To protect and serve the dogs that pay no taxes and is sucking the system dry.
Maybe they should have left MSF alone to work the West Side.
Nice job Garry....
Is FJO a new rank? Do they get D2 pay? Sign me up!
Of the ones I have heard of I have checked into many of them and those who know or are in the know gave me "the nod" so I know they are true.
Gave you the nod? Those in the know?
Jeez, if you want that much attention, walk upstairs from mommy and daddy's basement you are living in and cry.
If this were true then names would be named. Whenever someone says "I know someone in the know" and doesn't back it up with hard facts, its just more bullshit being thrown around.
CPD with be cross trained with CFD and also we will be cross trained as school teachers teaching high school German and Algebra.
the closing of 021 is on the fast track; they will be the first to go...
Do I have to wear pants while riding with ZoE?
An OT comment from a previous post...
from a No wonder i always get stopped. Do any of you have a clue.
This isn't about: My ride is bad ass that i got tint, Maybe you should do a research on AGENT ORANGE
This fucking state took my 3 digit veterens plate and gave me WINDOW TINT PLATES. And have been nothing but a hassle in this any way to make a buck city....
I don't get it. What does Pat Camden have to do with tinted windows?
I'll have what he's smoking.
I think another poster said this but, this is pure speculation. I could believe Rahm has asked about the possibility of combining the CPD with CFD. I don't believe we would cross train. I think Rahm would like to combine the upper management and save money. The jobs at the bottom of the ladder are completely different.
Closing 024 does make sense but once again highly speculative. Rahm's peeps live in 024 and special consideration would have to be handed out. Area 3 is beyond slow and the sole reason the crime rate is down in the city (talking about 019, 020, 023, and 024). The ghetto is still up for grabs on most nights.
What I think everybody fails to realize is Rahm is basically giving the members of the CPD what they have cried for since I came on the job 17 years ago. I have heard from day 1 that we have a top heavy department. I don't like Rahm's style but he has proposed eliminating 5 commander spots in less than 1 year and closing 024 would make 6 and hear Vice's days our numbered which would be 7 less bosses. Should the airport spots be eliminated that could mean 9 less Commanders. Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it.
I said it for years to cross train cpd and cfd , it'll be d2 pay for police officers that are trained as paramedics .
This is way better than Comedy Channel !!!!
The Box Chevy Phantom said... It seems the "Let's Fling Shit Against The Wall" game is in full swing......
Oh my God- sometimes I read your works here on the blog and think you a bit full of shit mixed with a little salt and bitterness, flavored with a sampling of depression on how the Dept has spun down the porcelain. But, your post here is a decent rendition about most Chicago Cops who have had a little time to learn. I know, some of the new guys are slow learners, but that just means that instead of the normal 5-year turning point, it’s about 8 years. I too remember the 350s, the smoking tires and the thump of the car doors in addition to the thumps that followed, as well as the two gumballs on the Ford LTD with the siren right in the middle of the light bar to be heard by all, and the trunks still alarmed for the shotguns. This is not that Department, but old salts like you and I need to show the young guns how to get it done under the goofs in power today. You hit the mark in your post, Hollywood will never get us right, but then again, neither does most of the public so they buy Hollywood’s and these jagoff politician’s bullshit. Boys and girls, reread Box Chevy’s post and keep in mind that you came to be the police, so be the police. Just be the smart police. A Lt that I respect tells me all the time, do what you do for you not for them (the Dept). Take for real what’s real, and treat the rest like the bullshit it is. He said crime is down because the police are keeping it down, not for McStupid or because of him and his cast of clowns, nor for the tiny goof at City Hall, but simply because coppers are laying down in their morale slump. Coppers self-generating RD numbers creates and reports actual crime. Getting the pistol creates a crime, same with dope. On view UUW without a head should be reported as a violent crime. You see dummy with a pistol but don’t catch him today, we need to do a report naming the offender as unknown. That reports a crime… and stops falsifying or really underreporting crime. Beat these assholes at their own game. Take the time and do the reports. Even when the ghetto dwellers want a report for their simple assault, do it, it takes us what, 5-7 minutes and IT REPORTS A CRIME. Report your on-view activity, don’t create bullshit, report actual crime. So much for crime is down huh? Box Chevy- thanks for this one.
The city should cross train us to be police/aldermen... save big money.
"Cabbages and Kings"
Lewis Carroll "Alice in Wonderland" not the Bard of Avon. But fitting never the less: as the Walrus and the Carpenter use nonsense to bullshit the foolish little oysters to voluntarily give themselves up to be eaten.
In today's world the poem can be seen as a metaphor for Politicians and Media vs the gullible public.
The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings."
Retired (very Glad)Sgt: from the 60's,
IMDB.com has nothing regarding any Spielberg flick or tv series.
Who cares what changes this department is going though? 90 percent of the patrol division is going to Thier next job and the one after that. The only thing we need to worry about is going hom in one piece. Back each other up and have a good holiday season
. The g-8 will make or break the city. Riots are
not fun, been there and done that. I plan on having my family getting out of town if it starts getting bad. I believe that with most of the police being down town the west and southside will go up with no police to control the violence. I have always believed expect the worst and hope for the best. Be safe !lP
Cross training? Let me know when they want cross dressing. I'm in.
Eric Bana? OMG people! He played SWAT god Hoot in Black Hawk Down. In his honor they renamed themselves "operators". Hundreds of thousands of elite SWAT members across the country believe they are delta force material after watching Bana's dreamy performance. His character is often quoted and seldom imitated. The Homan Square boys in pickle suits will have chubbies. Barkeep, hair gel for me and all my friends! Woo Hoo!
Great now I have to fit turnout gear, a helmet, and a pike in my locker along with my gas mask and turtle gear.
Fresh off the rumor mill. After years of incompetant outsiders running the department into the ground, they have finally found an insider to do it, With experience at destroying moral in both 024 and the DOC SC will spread his misery to the whole deaprtment. And don't worry, his alcoholic Lt will grace us all with her dead on Miss Jane Hathoway imitation, sucking the life out of every room she enters.
sorry i'm not doing the fire thing!
"McCarthy will look just about dead on this job after his scandal grows into the media."
What scandal???
11/28/2011 03:44:00 AM
-
Media's well aware of it and talk about it openly, among themselves. News affairs told them to keep it quiet, or no 'leaked' info out of HQ anymore. Quid pro quo.
Well 009 is in a backlog for about the first 3 hours of 3rd watch every day, so that would be interesting if 10% of the manpower was sent to 015. That's such a B.S. rumor if I ever heard one; obviously from some bitter current or former 009 P.O.
Zoe Saldana can ride around with me anytime.
The 024th Dist. opened in 1979 or '80. Prior to that, the 020th Dist. ran from Montrose to the border with Evanston. Population shifts could easily justify going back to the pre-1980's alingment.
Back in the 80's, Madison Wisconsin tried to combine Police and Fire, The police and fire unions went to court and won.
think he is trying to say, the number of arrests you make, not the phone call to the commander
No way they can cross train police and fire,only in a dream. Being a paramedic is not that easy and would take a long time to train. No way a ff can just become a po
Anyone that believes that rumor is soft
OT: RE: residency:
I just got back from visiting relatives, and a couple of my sisters live in suburbs of different states. One pays $10K in taxes, and the other $9K. Be careful what you wish for. Check out the home prices and taxes of any suburbs close-by that you could move to.
If residency is lifted, our Chicago homes will be worthless, and the surrounding suburban real estate will skyrocket. It's a lose-lose situation.
VSEP will be gone as of 01JUL12, new P.O's will be in 701 by then. Rumor is if additional man power is needed, P.O.'s from Mass Transit will be allowed to work their day off or extend tour of duty 4hrs. (Just A Rumor/Thinking Stage, nothing in writing)
" . . he will suggest combining fire and police duties, that's right cross training! The idea is to reduce both fire and police numbers to save money. "
$$$$$$$$$$
I call BS on this.
I don't know about fire but PO's are state certified.
End of story.
I was looking for a TV channel to watch because the liberal Dem loving Chicago media ALL had live coverage of the M. Daley funeral. As I'm flipping channels, I see McJerseyShore in front of the church walk up and give phather phlager a big, smiley full frontal body hug.
Eeeuuuuw! Must be his only friend in Chicago!
Box Chevy Phantom's post is as funny of shit I've read in a long while and great description.
Don't forget who 9.5's brother is when your talking about hollywood, right Ari?
What the hell is all this xo crap. Who comes up with this shit. I know its coming soon but come on. It sounds like we are in a tom clancy submarine movie. Xo dive dive make your depth six degrees down bubble! Xo fire torpedos! These new drastic changes will be the nail in the cpd coffin

I call BS on this one. If the brass continue to look at just the quantity of arrests over quality then they will be sending a continued bad message to us. If this is the case then coppers will just pick off two drinkers a day and that's it. 35th street should not be making decisions with what to do with coppers on tact teams they know nothing about.

PO activity is a hot topic with mcstup. He's been dropping hints for the last few months. Will use this to make some bosses look stupid and show that he has to call the shots since people are not being managed properly.
Anyone that goes is an idiot looking to get fired or locked up.
11/28/2011 12:16:00 AM
You forget sued, burned, slashed, gouged, stabbed, vilified and I could go on and on...
I would be willing to bet Rahm hires a bunch of newbies, puts them through that meat grinder then lays them off. C-U Later. Don't call us we'll call you!
Never in over 30 years of service have I trusted the government of this country, or this city less than I do now.
Whatever we think is totally asinine and illogical(98% of the time it is).McSpackler and Rahmbo thinks that it is logical and rational. They will do the exact opposite every time. No matter how stupid,they'll do it.
Dude, its not a rumor if you believe it to be the truth. So there, I just solved all this bs crap. All in the bologna is the truth, at least that the dimorphic I heard
Who'd the PO in NATO?
"A new system will be put into place to be on tact . . . it will be based on how many handcuffs you can get onto your duty belt... "
DOPW, Reckless Conducts, 1 blunt, criminal trespassers,& every holding the ofender job you can ride on. That's Police Work nowadays.
Damn glad this exercise in futility disguised as a career is almost over.
Rahm should close 24 , 1 less commander , more house cats available for street duty .
It would be less sgts , lts and the merit xo captains.
""I don't like Rahm's style but he has proposed eliminating 5 commander spots in less than 1 year and closing 024 would make 6 and hear Vice's days our numbered which would be 7 less bosses. Should the airport spots be eliminated that could mean 9 less Commanders. Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it.""
Take a look at our organizational chart....
For example in Patrol, area deputies report to an XO, who then report to the Chief. What, the Chief is too important to talk to 6 people?? And if they have their way with the new XO order, the district commander will be much to important to talk to 3 'watch coordinators', he'll only have to talk to his XO. This seems to me to be adding a layer of 1 on 1 management. XO only reports to DC, XO gives DC's orders to watch coordinators. Who needs the XO?
This to me is the equivalent of giving each PO a SGT of his own...
The only thing that makes any sense is that the commanders will be insulated from any scandals, and can put full blame on their XO, who will then be launched.
To Alderman Matt O'Shea.You probably have more combat experienced Soldiers and Marines currently working on the Police Dept.than any other Ward in the City of Chicago.Perhaps the knowledge these people have could be of benefit to the City during the G-8 Summit.Hopefully the City will tap into the professional training these people have had instead of the of the usual "make a phone call for me" cry babies.These veterans will give all and expect nothing in return.Just as they have done in the past.
The howl of the 350. Flip the carbuerator cover and it sounded like a dragon taking a breath getting ready to spit fire. Those were the days of leather and hats. Not sure what Lt. Anonymous was talking about, but it sounds like the same guy that told me the very same thing. Don't do this job for "them," do it for you. For your dignity, pride and integrity. Do it so you can look at yourself in the mirror in the morning and not have to look away in shame.

Ah yes! The Walrus & The Carpenter!
Thank you and we stand corrected.

OFFtOPIC
So when Rich dies does he get a free funeral too
Will we ever get away from these people
So I serve for 25 yrs and 4 in the USMC will my family get a free funeral from the city. or maybe my service isnt good enough as in CLOUT
So what your saying is this "new" team to handle the G-8 bullshit will be filled reverse seniority rite
This job is a black hole. Those of you who are young enough should take advantage of the tuition reimbursement and consider another line of work.
St. Xavier has undergrad and MBA classes at the academy in the eves year-round. I will be done with my MBA next summer. Two years from the day of my last class I will be moving out of this city, county and state.
We're not going to get raises or benefits. My MBA was $32K worth of benefits. Do it with an eye on the future. I can't even imagine what this job will be like 2 years from now, let alone 5, or 10, or fifteen. Get out while you can.
Just sayin'.
The brain-trust will put fire extinguishers in all squad cars and call us fire trained.

If she takes a leave does that mean the IAD investigation on her gets put on hold?
All rumors, one thing I have learned after 26 years on this job.....don't believe shit until you see it in black and white and implemented.
I do like the rumors about HackyMac, I can only hope he fuckups here put him out of the running for any other jobs (including NYPD) in the future.
I said it for years to cross train cpd and cfd , it'll be d2 pay for police officers that are trained as paramedics .

What are they investigating Barbie for?
There's ALWAYS a camera around. While channel surfing, I landed on WGN's coverage of the funeral at Old St Pat's. Here was the Sup, grinning with a shit eating grin, hugging Phleger, laughing, and DANCING! This guy can do it all, can't he? Dancing at a funeral! I am so embarassed. I mean, you don't have to cry, but he dances at a funeral, with so many heavy people around. No dignity, class, empathy, or brains. It was after the hearse left, but the cameras were there. Many guests were still there. And he dances, in public, at a funeral, in front of clergy, not just Pfleger, but real priests.
FOR SALE: One very useful clue. Would make a wonderful Christmas gift for someone who doesn't have one. Goes well with "Scrambled Eggs"(like on his hat). Very reasonable. Write to SCC for more info.
Would someone please put the retarded superintendent under their wing and either teach him how to act in public, at a place of prayer, or just use the wing to cover his idiocy up? He looked like a fookin' trained bear.
I think that I'm one of the last one's to realize this guy is an asswipe. Call me Pollyanna, and someone, please, slap me, and then slap him harder.
Mr Mayor, please terminate him. He makes us all look very stupid and bad.
What a goof.

"Hollywood comes to CPD." Im going to take a stab at this one. "A Steady Rain" starring Daniel Craig based on a story of two dets from the D Unit. A pasted Sneed article made mention of this play being turn into a movie. I remember seeing one of the actors setting in court observing a few cases.
Cross train CPD with Streets and Sanitation. Then the police could help collect garbage on their beat.
Eric Bana? OMG people! He played SWAT god Hoot in Black Hawk Down. In his honor they renamed themselves "operators". Hundreds of thousands of elite SWAT members across the country believe they are delta force material after watching Bana's dreamy performance. His character is often quoted and seldom imitated. The Homan Square boys in pickle suits will have chubbies. Barkeep, hair gel for me and all my friends! Woo Hoo!
Sounds like u are using the hair gel to lube up your pickle while googling pic's of Bana ya flamethrower.
St. Xavier has undergrad and MBA classes at the academy in the eves year-round. I will be done with my MBA next summer. Two years from the day of my last class I will be moving out of this city, county and state.

His star number was 6962. Their a picture of him wearing his star.
014 is also gone. All the district that didn't get new buildings are falling.
Aren't cops EMT's in New York? And the rescue companies are cops too. Yeah, I can see some cross-training to the right individuals.

OT: RE: residency:
I just got back from visiting relatives, and a couple of my sisters live in suburbs of different states. One pays $10K in taxes, and the other $9K. Be careful what you wish for. Check out the home prices and taxes of any suburbs close-by that you could move to.
If residency is lifted, our Chicago homes will be worthless, and the surrounding suburban real estate will skyrocket. It's a lose-lose situation.
11/28/2011 12:18:00 PM
Ok stupid, who cares what you get for your home. What if you don't own a home yet? What if your so far underwater it doesn't matter? If you can move where you can safely raise a family, then I think you should be allowed to move there. Residency is ok for singles, but once you get a family, you want the best for your children. The city can't provide all our children the safest neighborhoods and the best schools. Yeah. Your either a boss who thinks he runs things, or who thinks we get paid out of your own pocketbook, or thinks his officers respect you, or your Rahm. (a mix of weasel, snake, and raccoon)

It isn't exactly an MBA from University of Chicago.
Another cost cutting rumor was cross training CPD and CTA. Tahoes will be mothballed and MARS lights will be added to CTA buses for all high speed chases.
Everybody talks a big game but when push comes to shove we can't even get half of us to come together and stand up to a ticket, impound or Anov slowdown...Hit the city back where it hurts most....
Speaking of combining duties with fire, we have to go to every fucking one of their ambulance transports so why not just give us the paramedic duties and bodies from CFD and make paramedic/police officer D2A.
......that is a OEMC "protocol" dispatch whenever CFD has a call at a CHA building. We dont have to go, as long as your Sgt. comes up on air and codes it 19P. That is what our Sgts have been doing to free up the cars. If the ambulance actually requests our help, of course we go to assist. Remember, the Sgts control where the cars are dispatched to, not the dispatchers.
I saw Channel 5's coverage of the funeral and in their footage there was McNutty shamelessly pressing the flesh of NY mayor Bloomberg. Mayor Bloomberg please take this idiot back to NY with you.
******************** BREAKING NEWS *********************
The Supreme Court has ruled that there cannot be a Nativity Scene in the United States' Capital this Christmas season. This isn't for any religious reason. They simply have not been able to find Three Wise Men in the Nation's Capitol. A search for a Virgin continues. There was no problem, however, finding enough asses to fill the stable...
ABCD
"I'd rather have Michael Winslow and Steve Guttenberg ride along."
Respect.
"Speaking of combining duties with fire, we have to go to every fucking one of their ambulance transports..."
Only in 'select' neighborhoods.
"Airports will lose commander..."
Will the department then return these commanders to their civil service rank or will they still be hanging around, making commander's pay (and pension!), in command of nothing...like the former MSF & TRU commanders?
SNOW PLOWS WIL HAVE CAMERAS MOUNTED ON PLOWS TO RECORD SNOW VEHICLES PARKED ON SNOW ROUTES
JUST LIKE STREET SWEEPERS
more revenue for chicago
need fewer coppers
"Bwaaaaahahahahaaaa! You want the Po-WHO? We ain't got no Police to send ya! They're all babysittin' da West & South Sides!"
It's a clever, long-term plan to force the taxpayers to buy property on the west & south sides (because that's where all the police are), develop it, cause the property values to increase and further displace society's leeches.
Knocking down the 'jets was only the beginning.
"I have heard from day 1 that we have a top heavy department. I don't like Rahm's style but he has proposed eliminating 5 commander spots in less than 1 year..."
Perhaps, but if "eliminating" these commanders is his goal, why are the TRU & MSF commanders still commanders and not lieutenants?
What the hell are they "commanding"?
"I said it for years to cross train cpd and cfd , it'll be d2 pay for police officers that are trained as paramedics ."
That's great! Now cross-trained cfd personnel can treat the domestic battery victim AND arrest the offender!
"I plan on having my family getting out of town if it starts getting bad."
Don't wait. Have them get out of town before things go bad.
Once things get out of control, it'll be too late.
"You probably have more combat experienced Soldiers and Marines currently working on the Police Dept.than any other Ward in the City of Chicago.Perhaps the knowledge these people have could be of benefit to the City during the G-8 Summit."
Training and experience have never been an issue in personnel placement at CPD.
Why should this situation be any different?
"So when Rich dies does he get a free funeral too
Will we ever get away from these people"
When we're finally able to celebrate his death.
The Daleys-a low-class, slimy version of the Kennedys.
"Here was the Sup, grinning with a shit eating grin, hugging Phleger, laughing, and DANCING! This guy can do it all, can't he? Dancing at a funeral!"
It IS embarrassing! He was dancing at the wrong Daley's funeral!
So the teams that were called down to lock up protesters have 20, 30 arrests or more in a month, how is that fair compared to the beat officer trying to answer jobs and make arrests on his own, not handed to him.
Maybe if these teams answered radio jobs and actually helped in the districts we wouldn't always be in raps. Rather than , "squad send a beat car to my on view, I forgot how to do reports. Or I don't have time , I'm looking for my 1 arrest for the day. How about they start at 7pm rather than 5 or 6pm and not take 2 hr dinners.
If any cop stays in the 19th district Tact they are all FJO's. If they allow the powers that be to deviate from the contract so they can get early ducks and take a 2 hour lunch for a few months they are some real selfish FJO's. Tell the boss to GTH, put to-froms in right now to go back to the watch.
11/28/2011 02:57:00 AM
i was trying to figure out FJO ive narrowed it down to 1. Finding Jabs Overtly 2. Fingering Jive Ostrichs or 3. Flogging JFed Obscenely. plug them in like mad libs try some of your own
My only question, Can I still wear my Taser in the Thigh Holster when responding to Fires?
Cross training CPD with CFD...Sure send in the CFD on a man wit a gun they can use the water canon option on their fire truck.
Uh, the former commander of MSF is the district commander in 24.
i can see ems being grabbed up by cpd..cfd has no use for paramedics. not police as paramedics but paramedics within the cpd..
009 th district is so full of shit , if you take the 7 officers from commanders office , the five from a caps office , the other 6 that are floating around the desk . Ther other 5 on invisible cars/ foot post . The 3 assigned to bullshit details . And the 1 assigned to a command post for the mayors detail, that is the mayor's detail for Daley . If you ask me 009 could stand to lose 15 percent . Get outta here with they're short bullshit.

The 024th Dist. opened in 1979 or '80. Prior to that, the 020th Dist. ran from Montrose to the border with Evanston. Population shifts could easily justify going back to the pre-1980's alingment.
11/28/2011 10:43:00 AM
024 opened on 01 March 1979. It's not being closed. It has about a quarter of Alderman O'Connor's ward (40th) in it and Ald. O'Connor is probably the heaviest alderman in the City right now. He doesn't want it closed ... so it won't close. End of case.

""""""""""""""""""
I have two younger relatives who own homes in Mokena. One pays 12g in property taxes, the other pays 10g. I pay about 3500. Their kids go to decent public schools so no tuition makes it a bit of a wash. As long as the kids are in school that is. My kids are grown making it a bad deal for me to move. I'll stay here.
Will the department then return these commanders to their civil service rank or will they still be hanging around, making commander's pay (and pension!), in command of nothing...like the former MSF & TRU commanders?
Commander Ryan is Commanding 004, Commander Rousell is Commanding 024
Hollywood comes to CPD, in the early part of 2012 look for an order authorizing ride alongs for a few Hollywood celebrities. It seems that there is a big CPD movie in development and Speilberg is donating bucks to the city coffers to have stars get realistic experiences, Eric Bana and Zoe Saldana are rumored.
---
Remember who Rahm truly cares about .... his buddies who can help him become the first Jewish president. And remember his brother Ari Emmanuel is, go figure, a hollywood agent, representing Michael Moore. Welcome to Disneyland friends. All is for sale. THis is not a city to raise your family in ... it is an amusement park. All that matters is the Lakefront and Lincoln Park. Fucking clownshow this country has become. Leave us alone Rahm. Tell hollywood to go fuck themselves.
Eric Bana and Zoe Zaldana? How about Rosanne Rosanadana?
he will suggest combining fire and police duties,

Now how the hell is that supposed to work?
Remember, the Sgts control where the cars are dispatched to, not the dispatchers.
11/28/2011 10:21:00 PM
Gee, someone who actually reads the orders....Silence on the part of a supervisor signifies approval....
Now, what district are you in that the sgt's actually listen to the radio??? and are willing to override a dispatcher???
Why is everyone keeping McMouth's "scandal quiet? Out with it.
Non PoPo.
Yup. I can see hook/ladder truck pulling someone over for going thru stop sign and swat van showing up for ambulance run in the ghetto-- anyone here need medical services? LMFAO

That MBA isn't worth the paper it's printed on...........St Xavier is nothing but a diploma mill, everyone on the department gets a MBA from St Xavier and graduates with honors.

I still think you are rude, but you are correct about trying to live in a safer place for your kids. But, lets not lay the blame on Rahm, this falls totally on the Daley dynasty and the 50 Alderman. They cow towed to the criminals for the votes and they stole everything they could put their hands on. There corruption turned this once great city into a filthy gettho. But, I am not defending Rahm, give him time he will just add to the problems Daley created.
There've been three- Thomas Jefferson (who I just learned was a patrilineal Jew. See JoeSettler's blog.), Gerald Ford (nee Leslie Lynch King, Jr.; also a patrilineal Jew), and Barack Obama, whose mom Ann Dunham Soetoro was a Jew

You are in for a surprise. First of all, in this job market, you will be lucky to even find a job. Also, you are going to realize that your MBA does not carry much weight. The name of the school really does make a difference. And even if you do find a job it is going to pay far less than what you are making now—it will, also, have fewer benefits. Additionally, you will be working longer hours. Some schools make it way too easy to get a degree because they are just interested in the tuition money. But good luck with your plans.
"...this falls totally on the Daley dynasty and the 50 Alderman. They cow towed to the criminals for the votes and they stole everything they could put their hands on. There corruption turned this once great city into a filthy gettho."
Absolutely correct.
Once Tricky Dick realized, or more likely, was told by his handlers, that there was nothing left for him to steal and it's time for him to go, he retired.
The city's lousy condition is Richard M. Daley's legacy.

You're right, don't need 024 and 020 the slowest district in the city, but newer than 024. Makes sense to close it.
Oh but the alderman is so powerful, hahaha
that is a OEMC "protocol" dispatch whenever CFD has a call at a CHA building.
11/28/2011 10:21:00 PM
Wrong. It is a CFD dispatch protocol. OEMC only follows the protocols designed and mandated by CFD and CPD.
014 will be closing also

BULLSHIT
What district(s) would take over 014?
The new 012 (which will be the current 012 AND 013 disrict.
That would br WAY to big.
025?
No fuckin' way.
025 is a massive SHITHOLE by itself.
Ive been retired for almost 5 years and was on for over 30 When I came on things were changing asnd every po said get off, you wont believe this job in 5 years
All you have to do is change and adjust with the job and you will be retired at an early age with a great pension only other profession dream about. Ive got a kid with an MBA looking for a job.
Oh, yea St. Xavier is a top of the line school, just behind U of Illinois, ND, Harvard, Yale U of Michigan

Hmmm. That's funny, because I already work as a consultant for several small businesses, and plan to start my own business, specializing in forensic accounting. That, you jag, will get me out of this shithole.
I don't know why everyone on this blog is so negative. I simply offered some advice to make yourself more marketable should this job become so unbearable that you decide you can't take it anymore.
Nice snide comments. Keep putting on that blue uniform for the next 20 years. I'll be on the beach somewhere.
"I don't know why everyone on this blog is so negative."
It's not everyone, so don't let them wear you down. There is a small, but tough contingent of hopeless people on this job that hate it when they perceive that the guy or gal next to them is somehow doing better than they are or getting something that they're not. They also hate it when you do something to improve yourself or your situation. I believe that deep down, they want to keep their co-workers trapped here. Misery loves company, you know. People like these are just one more reason to leave this job. Good thing they're in the minority.
"I'll be on the beach somewhere."
You'll be joining me there!
"I'll be on the beach somewhere."
You'll be joining me there!

Thanks. I just don't understand the animosity about a helpful comment. Plus, even if an MBA can't get you a job, at least you will expand your knowledge. It opened up a whole new way of thinking about the world for me, and I'm grateful for that.
Thanks. Let me know what beach you'll be on and I'll have my cabana boy bring you a tropical cocktail!
One job at a time ................ Can I get an event number please!
