Someone Explain Please
The article about the two cops arrested the other day ends with this quote from McJerseyShore:
- At a news conference at the federal courthouse in Hammond, Chicago police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said the department felt “violated” by the alleged corruption.
“It's unspeakable, and it's something we cannot tolerate,” he said. “It reminds us that we must redouble our efforts to ensure the integrity of our officers.
“I'm glad these officers were arrested. I'm glad they are off the street. ... We draw police officers from the community at large. Therefore, we do not always get the highest quality.”

Sorry to say it but the CPD has evolved into a giant cluster fuck lead by the incompetent, controlled by shitty hall.
Oy Vey !! Such a situation !!
SUNK.
Does anybody check this guy's speeches? What a tool.
He's like our own version of Joe Biden.
McJerseyShore? I always liked McGovernmentSponseredRacism as a moniker. Kinda long I know, but totally worth the effort.
Amen, SCC. Just goes to show you, Mcbaffoon should only speak when rahm has already approved the copy for the press release. This guy gets more and more disappointing with every crisis and/or press conference. Theres a reason why this baffoon doesnt work for kelly in NYC, he would be swimming with the fishes already.

Nice quote. Does he mean Chicago does not have quality people? Guess what McSup, you are one of those "not always the highest quality people". Have a few drinks and shoot out some more street lights out.
That this guy should DARE speak about integrity is what's really intolerable about this story.
And by community-at-large, he means the "minority communities", one of which is suing the city on deployment issues.
Subtle racism to add to McStupid's resume....
Shit rolls down hill. McGruff is just an asshole looking to deflect any blame from himself or the city.
So, McCarthy, would you not "draw police officers from the community at large", specifically the Mexican American community since the majority of narcotics in the U.S. come thru Mexico?
And, the African American communities have the highest level of street-level narcotics sales.
"We do not always get the highest quality" from where else.... please answer that question! Officers from Englewood, Austin, Garfield Park? Are those officers, from these "communities at large" substandard?
Where would you prefer to hire from? Beverly, and the Northwest side exclusively?
Mic check one two, one two. Check. Check. Four score and s....got it? OK.
"My fellow Americans, I'm pleased to tell you today that I've signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes."
Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty?
Over heard talk of a unit opening up second period, 120 Officers, 6 sgts and 2 Lt.s you need to be carbine and riot trained to apply. Going to be used as a misson team when things go bad, and lets face it in this city things go bad fast and often. Downtown wants a unit they can call up and dispatch to a busy district with zero notice, intereasting sounds like what sos and msf was for but since we have new bosses we will have a new name for the uint and new clouted know it alls in it. Be safe boys and girls 35th st is a dam three ring mess with all the I know how to fix it boss ideas...
I don't like him very much, but I think that's a pretty fair appraisal of things. Police are a reflection of the society they come from, good and bad alike.
These beatoffs in particular were just gang infiltrators. Every big city has always had to deal with this sort of thing. Even the military is dealing with it.
Still, a wise man once said...
Should the temptation ever arise for an officer to involve himself with the wrong things, he is effectively making himself an 'ace in the hole' for his criminal associates. When one of them is popped with a couple kilos or gets their head caught in the mousetrap in any way, having intimate knowledge of a dirty copper goes a LONG way with prosecutors when deal time comes.
You take that money, you just positioned your life on a rickety trap door with the criminal shithead holding the lever that may spring it open at any time.
DO. NOT. GO. THERE. EVER.
McStupid would really be better off just keeping his mouth shut. Everytime he opens it a steady stream of stupidity escapes. Rahm, please put your foot in your puppet's mouth.
Redouble is a stupid word. I'm angry at the user, the word itself, and the cheese-eating surrender monkeys from whom we get this stupid derivation.
This guy just can't help himself. Every time he talks to the media he's saying the wrong thing. Was he really the best Rahm could do?
“It reminds us that we must redouble our efforts to ensure the integrity of our officers."-Garry McCarthy
Integrity cannot be taught in a classroom. Integrity is a noble, spiritual quality that comes from within...it comes from the character of one's Eternal Soul. There are many, many Chicago Police Officers who demonstrate integrity each and every day, no matter what some of their co-workers do, or what the exempts do,
who may be lacking in integrity to various degrees.
The Administration of the Department, at Headquarters, can only make "efforts" at ensuring "integrity," if any of THEM possess this noble, spiritual quality themselves. The vast majority of "exempt" members DO NOT possess this quality, at least
not to any degree that we can observe. How pathetic! If the Exempts of the Department want to encourage integrity, the first thing they would have to do is RESIGN, because they have been found to be very lacking, and have no leadership skills.
This includes the much-needed resignation of McCarthy himself, who showed early-on his lack of integrity with his St. Sabina spectacle, blaming urban black gun violence on "government-sponsored racism," thus showing a complete lack of understanding of, and disregard for, the concept of Personal Responsibility, which goes
hand-in-hand with Integrity. You cannot have one without the other. If you do not understand these basic principles of character
and integrity, Mr. Superintendent, then you should resign, and make room for someone who DOES understand, and can Lead by Example.
the boss is a piece of dog s***!
SSC... your right on this one I read it and was speecless. WTH does that mean? Most of all thank you Boss for throwing every hard working honest police officer under the bus.
Can you please put a "like " button next to your comments?
I think maybe he wants moon men. I thought that comment was strange too. I thought that's what the dept. wanted. A diverse group of coppers drawn from all communities? WTF? His racism bubbling to the surface maybe?
It'd be awfully tough to do but I think this guy is a bigger stroke than JFRAUD was.
That commant also applies to our alderman.
I read that article and was real pissed because we're not all like that. For him to say that as our Supt. is a slap in the face to all Chicago Police Officers. McStupid needs to keep his mouth shut! The more this guy talks the more he sounds like an asshat!
This falls directly on the bosses in I.A.D. it took an outside agency to take these two corrupt police officers down while the Chief of I.A.D. ( Chief RIVERA) and Director KLIMAS (Weis appointee) think that they are UNTOUCHABLE..............
Finally a boss willing to call it like it is.
It's saying that Terry TASER Hillard Needs to get out of the background check business.
He made Million$$$$ off of TASER
How so Peter Fitz?????
His kid couldn't pass the power test in the Academy then went IOD for a year???????
what an a**hole. what is it gonna take for him to say/do for 9.5 to send him on his way
Don't you get it? We are all no good in their eyes. Just keep on beating us down. McFarthead, Wysinger, if we did not become Policemen we all would be working at Duncan Doughnuts.
just watch the first deputy's streaming video as he mumbles through th English language to validate the superintendent's statement.
If the Feds have them, they're guilty....
Mcjersey is def right. We don't get the highest quality officers. THAT IS FACT.
however his reason is all wrong. We don't get quality officers because our hiring process won't let us. Hires are not based on overall scores but a lottery to cater to affirmitive action and equal demographic hiring which all leads to below average competency. The system is stacked against us from the beginning. What do you thing happens when u don't hire the best and brightest in every class. You get shit. And that's what thus dept has turned into. Are mushmouth unedumacated non English speaking fearless leaders with no commensense are on display daily showing us exactly where we are headed
What he probably meant was that we the police come directly from the communities we serve , and are susceptible to rogue officers from time to time" it's human nature; we all know this to be true, we've all seen people on this job that we know have no business, the city hires them to avoid a lawsuit and ends up paying out in a bigger lawsuit later on when they go bad.
My parents always told me, "Think before you speak."
“I'm glad these officers were arrested. I'm glad they are off the street. ... We draw police officers from the community at large. Therefore, we do not always get the highest quality.”
-------------------------------
What is this Mayberry RFD population 800?
So I guess that means we are probably down to something like the child molesters in the CPD labor pool to choose from eh...or maybe an alderman or something like that?
It just validates what a large and growing portion of the general public already feels.
That is... a mercenary police force working for the corporations and corrupt political apparatus via a political puppet machine with a mission statement to extract tax dollars that will ultimately be used for corporate tax breaks.
The department hires people like this. The department pushes people like this through the academy. The department will then hold a sergeant responsible when they screw up. It's the supervisor's fault.
Dear Jenny McCarthy, EVERY employee of EVERY company comes from "the community at large.". What I think you were trying to say is that over the years the City has folded to scam artists like Jessie Jackass and taken the testing process and "dumbed it down" so that anyone that breaths can pass the test. The number crunchers for the City need to figure out if it's cheaper to pay to fight lawsuits regarding the testing process or cheaper to pay the lawsuits that follow an incident like this. We know the image of the Police is of no concern to the City...they love when this happens.
OT.
Just in case you've been too busy to listen to all the media BS about what's happening in the city according to the "filter", the new NBC 5 network based show "Rock Center with Brian Williams" will be highlighting/interviewing Rahm this evening at 2100 Hrs. If you want an opportunity to rant and rage at the screen, this is your chance. I don't know if Brian Williams will be lobbing softball questions at the new mayor, but it ought to be interesting watching him do his "good" Rahm act.
No..hey..wait a minute!
Didn't we hear not so long ago that what this department needs are tech savvy multilingual coppers that know how to "reach out" to their community?
Sounds like the hiring process got what it was looking for.
This goes to show he has no respect for Chicago, it's citizens or the Department.
We are NOT New York, therefore we SUCK!!
after hearing some of the inflammatory words coming out of bozo's mouth you have to wonder what side of the fence he is on--- will he back us at negotiation time next june--- will he be on the front lines may 15-22 for the nato g8 debacle--- he doesn't have any skin in the game and it looks like he will not be putting any in...
Means he is against the residency rule....so WAS the Mayor btw....
..that yo-yo came from the community at large also ,and he proves that point flawlessly.
He's like our own version of Joe Biden.

let see who volunteers for something like this.......and anyone who does.....is a fucking douchebag
for how many years have they been pushing heroin on the west side? the politicians ignore it, the feds wont go near it,unless they can nail a po. it has done more damage than al queda, to the city and the cpd. dont it make you wonder why this is allowed to go on. who is it that profits, who is it that suffers?
Wait a minute; what about Community Policing? After spending tens of millions of taxpayer dollars, and reducing our standards for hiring, McNumbnuts is telling us we have been doing it all wrong? Somebody better change the textbooks, because we are teaching these lies to students at the academies and colleges.
Just shy of 14 years on this job. I believe a few months of Matt Rodriguez, but mainly Hilliard, Cline, Weis and now this goofball. I've always been pretty indifferent about our sup. I mean, no matter who it was, it didn't really affect me much. I have no juice on this job, so things have been pretty status quo. Morale has obviously fluctuated here and there, but that's about it. Weis's handlers made some bad calls (though he went along), but like it or not Weis got a lot done (Cozy aside). But I have to say that this is really the first time in 14 years where I am completely disheartened by our sup. He truly does not seem very smart. His quotes are truly demeaning to us....and lately to the entire city that pays him his inflated salary. For the first time in 14 years I have ZERO respect for our boss. I grimace every single time I see him representing us in the media. Just an absolute fool. Very sad times are upon us people. That is all.
so he's saying he's glad two coppers were arrested even before they have been convicted of anything not that im saying there innocent or guilty but how about using your head before you talk or is that a lost art among the higher ups in this department. Then he calls the community or at least some of them worthless. Shakespeer has nothing on him highest quality people has anyonw seen jersey shore they have a short fat chick shitting in a fridege and flashing her box all over town and he talks about our quality if he would have made the comment back home he would be in the foundation of some building project the next day.
Well now, this comes as no surprise that we get people from the communities, I know people in personnel that do the background checks on the THUGS applying and they said they are only allowed to do so much background checking until they are hired, by then they slip thur the cracks, look out in 15 years back, Pac Man andhis crew, also the 7th district crew of thugs. We are going to get some bad people we know that.
Bullshit on that new unit, they took alot of people to stack up in districts and Rahm won't go backwards the Black Aldermen would have his head for KWanza.
"We draw police officers from the community at large. Therefore, we do not always get the highest quality.”
Of course he includes himself in this statement. The Public should be demanding their 300grand back if this is what they get in return.
Your superintendent is arrogant, hardly ever worked the street when he was assigned to the Field, his boys he brought with him have about as much street experience as a PPO, but they were just sworn in and will be wearing Chicago Police Uniforms starting today! WTF Why is it that every outsider breaks his neck to put on a CPD uniform, but then spends years talking about how broke our department was and how they had to fix it! How about fixing the budget and not paying your outside Chiefs $10,000.00 a piece per year additonal of tax payers money that you are not paying the Chiefs who have been here for years, have no learning curb and actually worked the streets of Chicago to serve and protect out tax payers and their dollars!
How about puttins someone in charge who doesn't just talk about cutting Districts, Areas or communties without first knowing the needs of the areas you are touching! Crime and the economy are not reflected in a text book!
While you are at it, get your personal life in order Stuperintendent and your two dufus Chiefs!
Touretts McCarthy. T-Mac!
So lets hear more about the connection these officers have to alderman pope, we want more
Does anybody check this guy's speeches? What a tool.
11/21/2011 12:30:00 AM
Speeches? Because of his huge ego, G-MACK believes himself to be quite a spontaneous orator and he just wings it, like he did in this instance. He believes he can think on his feet and use shoot from the hip remarks to command an audience. G-MACK's ego will not allow him to realize that he is positively terrible at public speaking, both off the cuff and with prepared remarks, and that makes for one, foolish man. We are really @$%#*# wth G-MACK as our leader.
"The community at large." Does that include the St. Sabina community?
---not a cop
He's right. Residency requirement killed the rest of the state as far ad applicants go. So yes, we are at the mercy of city residents- be they minority gangbabgers like pacman or white clouted trash like finnegan. Truth hurts but it is truth. That said, he should have had better tact.
He's like our own version of Joe Biden.
11/21/2011 12:33:00 AM
You got that right!
If it's true what multiple comments on this blog said-that these two knuckleheads were gangbangers who slipped through the hiring cracks-the superintendent has a point.
This guy makes J-Fled look like General MacArthur!
I think he said something without saying it.
Were the minority aldermen listening?
Redouble is a stupid word. I'm angry at the user, the word itself, and the cheese-eating surrender monkeys from whom we get this stupid derivation.

Brilliant.
The correct word is quadruple, which is almost as meaningless as redouble.
Scc, notice the silence from the city council, proco moreno, ray suárez, ricardo muñoz, ariel reboyas, john arena, anthony beale, george cardenas, po willie cochrane,daniel solis, john pope, roberto maldonado, felon walter burnett, frank olivo, harold brookins, james balcer, nicholas sponsato, debra silverstein, richard mell, eddie burke, michael chandler, carrie austin, sandi jackson, not one of these aldermanic political parasites had anything to say about Mcbaffoon's comment on why in the cities quest for diversity, the city "dont always pick the highest quality." Hmmm....maybe its because most their campaign workers are all involved in color coded criminal enterprises. The silence is sickening. CPD wake up, the good guys are all alone. Remember the public paints you all with the same brush, rahmulus counts on it. Please for once band together, with friends and family you can make a difference in the up coming 2012 elections. If jeff fort and the blackstone rangers can hand Daley I his ass, in 68, the good guys can do the same and hand ballerino the biggest defeat of his weasely political life. The political machine cant be bought and paid for anymore. City workers are being laid off, the ranks are dwindling thru attrition, pensions are being messed with, patronage jobs are saved for the "annoiteds" children. LOYALTY is no longer an option. The silence from the city council should serve as the catalyst for the sleeping giant to wake up and take back our dignity, self respect, our ward and not let the gang bangers and their "elected" accomplices dictate the lives of good people. Sorry, end of rant. Im just trying to raise my young family in this city and cant leave.
Geez look the tide has turned. The police opinion has united under our mutual dislike for our fearless leader. How less smug posts about court cases that haven't been resolved involving police and more letters to guys like Bill C who was unjustly convicted. Note by the same group who locked up these POs. Hmmm
How many years must go by before we have a home grown candidate for Police Superintendent who can wipe his ass by himself? Obviously we are a city full of incompetent and corrupt buffoons.
Where is the next goofball Supt going to come from? Gary, Indiana? Detroit, Michigan? LAPD?
Doesn't matter, my exit strategy is planned and ready to implement. 9 months left, I don't even want to work that long, I am sick of going to work here.
The coppers did wrong, but didn't fight with the on-duty police, and shoot out some streetlights while drunk. Supt. McToon, the highly polished, classy, consummate professional. Democrats can sure pick their puppets can't they ?
That commant also applies to our alderman.
But not the mayor, he's from D.C..

Went down to IAD to give a statement today as an accused. Apparently they are selling tix for a raffle to win an ipad, judging from the huge sign outside the door. As I entered, I was again solicited to buy a ticket. I was told the proceeds were to pay for an IAD booze cruise. I politely declined.
A couple of questions. Who paid for this sign? Graphic arts?
There are members of the public that come to IAD. Don't we have rules against solicitation?
I also did not see an approval stamp on the poster.
Wtf? Who is running the show here? How improper is this bullshit? I have to come down and give a statement on a bs charge to begin with and to top it off I get badgered to buy raffle tickets or a snack from the IAD commissary. This department continues to spiral into oblivion.
It's interesting to see how when this news broke out, most comments associated the offender's race. What does race has to do with it? Did anyone mention the race of Anthony Abatte who beat up the Polish bartender? Did anyone mention the race of the officers involved in SOS (I think his last name was Finnigan)? Or about the Polish officer who was involved with drug dealers? (His exact name escapes me but I know it's a Polish last name). Or how about the mostly white kids rioting and acting like assholes at Penn State University? I am sure if it was a mostly black crowd who rioted at a university then race would enter the conversation. Hell the youtube videos would be playing non-stop! Every single time a black or hispanic officers are caught doing illegal things, race is mentioned. Every time a white officer is caught it's "oh he is just a bad apple".
This guy is a complete moron. Get lost you New York piece of shit.
Over heard talk of a unit opening up second period, 120 Officers, 6 sgts and 2 Lt.s you need to be carbine and riot trained to apply.

I say B.S. The mayor and supt. are a patrol orientated. They are not going to create other outside units

>>>This is the Unit that will replace Public Transportation Section. This Unit will be a Counter-Terrorism Unit much like the one in NY. Protect the public, the infrastructure, and various parts of the City.
His comment begs two questions: Are Chicagoans then, as a whole, dishonest and untrustworthy? And are you not the asshole in charge of the entire Department, including IAD?
And if we actually hired police officers any more, perhaps we could have real background investigations that would produce a higher caliber of recruit. You get what you pay for, especially in this city.
We draw police officers from the community at large. Therefore, we do not always get the highest quality.”

When you set up a system of quotas based on race you get alot of garbage. This will never change. The politics of race will never allow the best person for the job. I'll say it again. All testing and hiring should be a double blind process. Each person assigned a number, and how you do on the test is how you do. You get ranked based upon your performance. No special treatment for race or gender. Just the best. Simple concept but will never happen in Chicago. Race baiting and entitlement is an industry in itself in Chicago. How else could Jesse make a living.
Thats a profound statement. Just look at the exempts. Lets start at the top. Mcstupid feels that the laws should not apply to his family members and when they do something wrong he runs to the scenes and becomes beligerant and argumentative with the responding officer. Thats just doing his job by issuing citations. We have Deputies that own condos where drugs and guns are kept. Then claim no knowledge even though their daughter resides in the residnece with the drugs and guns and is the girlfreind of the person who owns the drugs and guns. Another Deputy embellishes a shooting incident in order to receive an award that other officers are far more deserving of in order to further his multiple meritorious promotions. One thing a blue shirt can say is at least they passed a test to get to the rank of blue shirt. Over 95% of gold stars never scored well enough on any of their promotional exams to justify promotion.
I agree that our supt. should not have said what he said. I am insulted because NOBODY on our department should ever put us down in public. Everybody knows that at their place of employment, there are idiots who don't belong where they should. Our leader shouldn't put us down.
Taken from the pages of " Jpud's Guide to Deplete Morale".
So now Mc is concerned about scandal and bottom of the barrel officers? Here's a novel idea, how about posting promotional scores and rankings, then promote from the top down, no repeat bites from the merit apple.
Stop the Politicians from running, ruining the Department.
There will be a new unit, but it will be closer to 180-200. All current sat and gun teams will be the members. They will try and break into 3 teams, 60-70 each, 1 sgt for each team and 3 Lts total, with an xo running the show.
Three teams keeps the most people on the street
. Good chance tact lt from 6 will be in charge
I am really troubled by some of the statements made in this thread. I really think some of you need to take a course in reading comprehension, if not a remedial reading course. Like the guy or not, please don’t twist this as an indictment of him or his speaking ability. He said that the Department, all of you, cannot tolerate this, and that greater effort must be made to ensure integrity. He said that he was glad these guys were arrested and that he was glad that they are off the street. He said nothing about any increased distrust of personnel. It is pretty clear that there at least has been some gangbangers hired and possibly infiltrating the Department. Obviously attempts have to be made to fix this. Many of you said the same things in the original thread, and elsewhere, about this.
There is absolutely nothing racist in the last 2 sentences, both are completely accurate. The fact that the Department should, and does, draw from the total community and is therefore a cross section is appropriate and judicially mandated. I don’t think any of you would dispute that this causes a small percentage to be less intelligent, aggressive and honest than the mainstream. I would understand if Jesse Jackson or some of his colleagues called that racist, but not you guys.
Even though I have disagreed with SCC in the past, I recognize that this is his blog to do with what he wants, but I always thought you were a little fairer than to throw in your closing comment about 85 percent of the Exempt.
hahah, what a joke this city and department is. I mean really? Is this a bad dream? Are people like Mcjersey, henny penney, wayne and the other 4 foot 11 f/1 female commanders running around really in charge of this department??? sigh, please promote bosses who are not there because they are a certain color, make up of the community or are a female. Promote people based on qualifications. I have seen great black bosses, white bosses, hispanic bosses and female bosses. It just sucks that they all get corrupted by downtown and broken down into yes men because thats what the brass want. This department really can run itself. we dont need doc meetings, mcjersey meetings, compstat, boxes, gang violence zones, gang conflict zones, narcotics action zones, hotspots etc. We dont need to count numbers numbers numbers. The only number you need to count is crime. the department is pushing coppers and tac teams to get more heads than the last year. when will it stop? How many people can you keep arresting? if you get 2000 arrests last year they want more this year, so now you have to FIND more people to arrest. That is why the tac LTs and Sgts dont care what type of arrests are coming in. DOPW and crack pipes for the 50 year old hype will not solve crime... it will take the pressure off the tac guys and thats about it. you cant arrest everyone. one day the set numbers are going to get too high to attain anymore. Let beat coppers, gang guys, tac coppers etc out on the street and make arrests they want to make. You gain respect back from not brining in petty sh*t, have more time to work on things and are not putting yourself in a trick bag to just get a CB number for the company. Let the cops roam in the district. Let them get arrests where ever they want. dont hold them down in boxes or zones. it does nothing. Im a former tac copper. I left because it was all night in a little box. Get two b.s. cb numbers in that box. Then stay in the box. I dont want to stay in a box all night long and deal with the animal. I dont wanna spend my night grabbing nonsense just so I can say I got an arrest. Its all smoke and mirrors. Its all one big joke. this whole department is filled with sh*tty ideas. Now each district has multiple teams just to keep up with arrests. 65, 69 and 06 teams. What a joke. they need to be back on the watch manning beat cars. your pulling almost 30 cops and 3 sgts off the street per district to get one baggers, weed and pisers and drinkers. really??? you need extra cops to do that? NO! this department is terrible.
Though these allegations are serious ones,our police department will continue to fight crime and keep the citizens of this great City safe,and we must commend the hard working and integrity driven men and women of this great department! Is what he should've said! As a matter of fact that's all he should ever say,nothing more nothing less!
heard new driving class will be taught by p.o. f.t. from 023
“It reminds us that we must redouble our efforts to ensure the integrity of our officers."-Garry McCarthy
Integrity starts at the top. If you don't have it with your Exempts and your Captains and Lt's and Sgt's....who the fuck do you expect it to exist within the Rank and File PO's?
CPD is beginning to remind me more and more of Revenue every day.
We are still in a society that racism is still present. It will never go away. And when someone like mcflurry makes a statement like that it just goes to show you that most likely 60 to 70 percent of the department probably feels the same way he does. so please don't act surprised to his comment. But nothing will happen, so we can talk about it all we want, and the most powerful influence that we have is the media, but they won't do anything, why because media is controlled by our white society so that comment is not to their best interest. It will be put in the back burner and it will be forgotten just like the city forgets that we gave a contract.. So RACISM is well and alive.
I never thought I could possibly hate this job as much as I do. Citizens are going to be on their own. No more investigations of stolen cars, period. It's an insurance matter. No det's assigned to investigate any property crime or burglary unless it's over $5K. It's an insurance matter. No ET's to be assigned, either. I predicted this a long time ago and nobody listened. No det's assigned to simple assaults or simple batteries. It's coming within the next couple of months. The only service citizens will get is if they call 911 or it's a major crime. Make sure you pay your insurance premiums. Also, no cars will be dispatched for minor crimes anymore either. Reports will be obtained through 311. Good luck all!
If integrity is broken down in the hiring and selection process then the problem has to be with the entire system from the top on down.
In fact we can see it with the "professional courtesy" given to the ex-mayor and some of the aldermen as just one example.
We are told we are obligated to them but there is no real obligation...and where there are obligations, like our pensions the system wants to ignore them because we have no clout, no juice.
We are about to see it again and in fact are seeing it again with the recent CFD captain and the little incident at the river.
What does re-doubling our efforts mean?
Some would say that it means that the brass comes up with a better cover-up system like a general order to block looking up arrest records of highly visible cases. That aught to fix it right?
All these things, as small as they may seem create our culture as to what we find acceptable as a society.
It's acceptable for a fire captain to shove a police officer. It's acceptable to hand out special favors to certain alderman and ex-mayors. It's acceptable to break you bond and you word even in written contracts and all you need to do is present yourself as the victim(s) in the face of the people that you are victimizing.
The system is broken and the city police force comes across as corporate hired mercenaries to protect the clouted ones.
When you have secrecy, the corruption thrives.
BTW where's hizzhonor at? Iowa raising money not for a city and state that are bankrupt, but he's stroking corporate donors for the president who needs more money to 'campaign' on.
Billions of dollars in circle jerk money. Tax breaks and favors in return for campaign contributions it's that simple.
A nation by and for the corporations not of the people.
The system is corrupt and broken and this is what we try to protect?
Civilian question: what does "F/1" mean, exactly? I can figure out that F=female, but what does "1" indicate?
we even hire shitbags from around the country even bust outs from new york..
*Fleecing the Taxpayer Alert!* The newspapers in Darien, Il report that Ernest T. Brown began his, uh, tenure as the Chief of the Darien Police Dept on Wednesday, 16 Nov 11. Chief Ernest T. Brown submitted his retirement papers with the Chicago Police Dept to take place at the close of business Thursday, 15 Dec 11 and he is to retire effective 16 Dec 11. "How can this be?", you ask. "Can he really be at two different jobs and collect two paychecks at the SAME TIME?", said the uneducated peasants who often must fill the coffers of the kingdom. Answer: YES, it's the Chicago way! Moral of this story: It literally pays to know someone.

Is your tongue lodged in J-Fled's colon, dumbfuck? Cowardice and leadership are mutually exclusive. J-Fled is one yellow-bellied, sadistic piece of shit. Follow his "lead": CUT AND RUN!
We don't always get quality, the dept. dropped it standards over the years for the purpose of allowing lesser qualified to become sworn members, sorry but you know its true.
There was a new publication of the 017 district "STALAG 17" BOY IS IT GREAT.. How can we get a copy to you for review for a post..
He's right, this is the diversity the city wanted on the dept. Liberals giving gang bangers a chance to be come cops, keep lowering the standards. And tighten the background checks for the honest ones. Who is conducting these background checks, maybe we need to assign 2 investigators to ea. Case, checks and balances.
Talking about corruption, we need to investigate many who are getting disability. So many of us are disgusted when we see these dogs golfing and jogging while collecting at the old age of 30 s and 40s and laughing all the way to the bank. And doing other jobs. Time to hire independent investigators to catch these dogs.

I CALL BS
Where can I apply for the new unit?
McMook unintentionally has half a point.
Out of EVERYTHING our small fraternity of the blue & white Silitoe Tartan has had to endure...
We've had our money stolen from us (both as taxpayers and Blue Suits) by a malignant, stunted, stuttering half a manling who should have been flushed as ass-splash sometime in July of 1941 instead of evolving to become a being hellbent on inflicting the misery of his inadequacies and insecurities on a minute percentage of a population of people just because they wear a Blue Suit.
Now another curiously made political creature has declared war on the Blue Suits for the sole purpose of distancing the municipal entity known as Chicago from it's duty and obligation to adhere to the law and deal faithfully & honorably in it's fiduciary obligation to the minute percentage of the overall population that constitutes the too thin blue line.
...Not to employ strategem, artifice, slippery semantics, mass media propaganda, weasel words and fuckery in attempts to distance himself from his obligation due to his cowardice in refusing to confront head on, the criminally piss poor past practices of his predecessor.
As one of our elder subject matter experts is fond of saying, "The poeple of Chicago are insane in their desire to dangle a Copper from every lamp post for every failing to be perfect in their eyes. Even if Coppers were perfect, these lunatics would still complain."
Just where the hell do these people think Policemen come FROM?
Policemen didn't fall from Heaven and they're a mix of the human and the divine to do combat with assorted ill humours & devils at any given moment.
In other words, Policemen derive from society at large.
Society tries it's best to ignore that rather inconvenient truth.
We've said it before, that honorable American institutions and the people who make up those institutions like Police, Military, Teachers, etc are under concerted attack by creeping euro-weenie, yellow-pinky, nanny statism.
P.C. has become the ruination of this republic.
We recall someone on another thread some time back, relating that an overseas accquantance asking, "What happened to you Americans? You used to stand astride the world like men..." Or something to that effect.
We do swear, aver and attest that shortshanks, j-fled, 9.5 & McMook are foul harbingers of an impending shit storm and it is no small source of aggravation that the public at large is so fat, stupid and blissfully unaware that they're applauding our destruction even if it means their own...
The Chicago Policeman wonders out loud if the grief, pain, anger and bloody tears of outrage are worth the 20 to 40+ years of sacrifice...
When pieces of work like McMook and 9.5 speak, the answer is self evident in the face of silence by the people who claim we have their support...
hahah, what a joke this city and department is. I mean really? Is this a bad dream? Are people like Mcjersey, henny penney, wayne and the other 4 foot 11 f/1 female
You are an idiot. I work on the westside on a tact team and no one pressures us to make arrests. We make arrest cause I want to. Quit your bitching and be happy you have a job and able to support your family in these rough economic times. And not worried about being laid off be thankful
"tis better to remain silent and be thought stupid...than to speak and remove all doubt"
This is what you get when you try to make the testing process fair to all who apply. Let's face it, there are groups of people who cannot pass a test. That doesn't mean that the test is racially biased. If those people who cannot do well on the test truly want the job they will do whatever it takes to pass (tutors, studying, taking college classes, whatever). To skip over highly qualified candidates and select low scoring candidates just because of their skin color will get you a less qualified police department, and unfortunately that seems to be part of the problem these days. The best and brightest should be hired regardless of skin color, after a thorough background investigation, period.

Well said..
Dear FOP are you reading this blog? We know you are and it's time to strike back at McCarthy and let him know how the membership feels about him. I say no cofidence vote for a nice Christmas present. Let's stick together and dump this guy. The future of our department depends on what we do now not 2 years from now when we are completely gutted.
"We draw police officers from the community at large. Therefore, we do not always get the highest quality.” Really? We could say the same thing about 85% of the exempt staff, including the head case in charge. -SCC
One is increasingly seeing a diminution of quality in other areas of endeavor, especially behind pharmacy counters these days, with the introduction of the new low-paid "pharmacy aides." 18 years old (16 with parental consent) and an HS diploma or GED and the security door buzzes open to you. There you are with all the s__t in the world, and with lives depending on you.
Some of these people are terrifyingly stupid and only marginally literate; I gave one of them two chances to read back a doctor's instructions to me -- "Take one or two tablets four times a day, as required" -- and she got it wrong both times, while being very sure of herself.
There is often no accountability -- many are completely anonymous, with no name tags, and a new one pops up every time one visits.
I would suggest a two-year diploma from a technical college, with chemistry, physiology, math, and English, as well as psychological screening aimed at determining the ability to communicate with others, and favoring the urge to help patients over the authoritatian paradigm of mindless petty enforcement of "rules" that in many cases do not even exist.
Oh -- if there is indeed some sort of "prescription drug crisis," relentless and mandatory random drug testing needs to be introduced here first, where daily contact and temptation are the greatest and where the weaknesses of the system that could lead to diversion are the best known.
Sounds fair enough, huh?
I agree with the fact the most of our current bosses are not good leaders. I say this because they are simply following orders from an idiot who is running the entire department into the ground. If we rid ourselves with the top guy and a few select others, then maybe we can recover in time to handle the onslaught we face this coming May 2012. WE ARE NOT PREPARED AT ALL!! Please if you believe in Santa then ask him to give us a new boss for Christmas please :)
His command staff are a bunch of tools. How can anyone make such a comment at this stage!
Signed
Officer embarrassed to work for Mc nut
Wait a minute!!!!! This guy is brilliant!!!! This is the perfect reason why we should not have a residency requirement!!!!
No more residency! No more residency! No more residency!
Over heard talk of a unit opening up second period, 120 Officers, 6 sgts and 2 Lt.s you need to be carbine and riot trained to apply. Going to be used as a misson team when things go bad, and lets face it in this city things go bad fast and often. Downtown wants a unit they can call up and dispatch to a busy district with zero notice, intereasting sounds like what sos and msf was for but since we have new bosses we will have a new name for the uint and new clouted know it alls in it. Be safe boys and girls 35th st is a dam three ring mess with all the I know how to fix it boss ideas...
I hope the above post is not true, but if it is I hope PO's have learned their lessons and no one goes to this bs unit.
If even 1 cop goes to this unit they are a complete POS. Let the city burn before we let this department create another union busting unit. Even if you are stuck in 3,4,7 etc on midnights do not go to another bs unit for this city. This city has already proven how much they care about cops and the union by sending all the TRU and MSF PO's to bs districts.
If a cop actually is dumb enough to go to a unit then you are not only dumb, but you are a total and complete A@#H@#le.
Just because you are in a unit it does not make you elite. That is all bs the management tells you so you buy into the bs. Do not go to the unit.
It'd be awfully tough to do but I think this guy is a bigger stroke than JFRAUD was.
He is dumber then J-fled, but he still has not put bs federal charges on a copper who didn't deserve it.
J-Fled is and always will be a huge weasel.
Not to mention:
Rule 14 wasn't even mentioned until this worm of a human being J-fled came crawling around.
Means he is against the residency rule....so WAS the Mayor btw....
11/21/2011 09:22:00 AM
-
You are WRONG. The mayor NEVER said he was for lifting residency when he was running for office. What he did say was that he would look into it and that he would consider it.
It was obvious by this obfuscation that he had no intention of addressing residency. Many people voted for him because they heard what they WANTED to hear in his vague 'promises', about our future, about the children, about transparency.
I have said, since his first pronouncement about wanting to be mayor (on Charlie Rose), we must pay close attention to what he ACTUALLY says, and even then, know that he outright LIES. (He'll just blame faulty intel or advice when he gets caught.)
It's interesting to see how when this news broke out, most comments associated the offender's race. What does race has to do with it? Did anyone mention the race of Anthony Abatte who beat up the Polish bartender? Did anyone mention the race of the officers involved in SOS (I think his last name was Finnigan)? Or about the Polish officer who was involved with drug dealers? (His exact name escapes me but I know it's a Polish last name). Or how about the mostly white kids rioting and acting like assholes at Penn State University? I am sure if it was a mostly black crowd who rioted at a university then race would enter the conversation. Hell the youtube videos would be playing non-stop! Every single time a black or hispanic officers are caught doing illegal things, race is mentioned. Every time a white officer is caught it's "oh he is just a bad apple".
11/21/2011 01:03:00 PM
You're full of it. No one said Finnegan was just a bad apple, trying to arrange a hit on another po. No one said Abbate was just a bad apple, especially considering his prior history and the fact the Dept hadn't already fired him, by the time the bar episode occurred. No one said Medzianowski (sp?) was just a bad apple, either.
You've got personal issues. I feel sorry for you.
No one concentrates on race when they're hammering a police officer; they concentrate on the fact he (or she) carries a STAR.
let see who volunteers for something like this.......and anyone who does.....is a fucking douchebag
____________________________________
Don't worry there will be a line of them. This place is a douchebag factory
Sounds like a huge conflict of interest to me. So if you refuse to buy a ticket to support their party are you then going to get extra attention from them(in a bad way)involving your beef? Sounds like they are strong arming coppers hoping that they will buy tickets just so they will get a fair shake from IAD.

Hey, "Occupy" Troll, would you just shut up already? You'll get your chance on May 15, 2012, so stop chomping at the bit!
There will be a new unit, but it will be closer to 180-200. All current sat and gun teams will be the members. They will try and break into 3 teams, 60-70 each, 1 sgt for each team and 3 Lts total, with an xo running the show.
Three teams keeps the most people on the street
. Good chance tact lt from 6 will be in charge
11/21/2011 02:55:00 PM
This department is a joke. Who will volunteer? Do you not remember what happened 5 months ago by disbanding those units. Bunch of suckers.
Let the city burn.
""We don't get quality officers because our hiring process won't let us. Hires are not based on overall scores but a lottery to cater to affirmative action and equal demographic hiring which all leads to below average competency. The system is stacked against us from the beginning. What do you thing happens when u don't hire the best and brightest in every class. You get shit.""
The above poster has it 100% correct. When you don't hire or promote by rank order, but rather put people in what you consider 3 'bands' (well qualified, qualified, and not qualified), you are picking from the "community at large" -- Even if you pick only "well qualified" you are not necessarily getting the best there are, but rather "a lottery to cater to affirmitive action and equal demographic hiring which all leads to below average competency" as the original poster so eloquently put it.
I don't consider hiring the smartest we have racism, although some would disagree.
I'm sorry some don't test well, but those that do should not be punished by those who can't.
Think about it, by rank score, anyone who passes is only eligible for 7 out of 10 jobs, once you factor in 'merit', and the 30% merit can be at the absolute bottom of the "well qualified" list....Doesn't the paying public deserve better?
Where's the big hook from the GONG show..
It's needed now more than ever!
talked to a guy, a great cop, who heard about maybe reforming a new unit....(he was in TRU)....he said, basically, they can go to hell...
Before blaming affirmative action for allowing minorities into the Dept., I worked in 014 in the early 80's. On a weekly basis there were pos being arrested fired or under house arrest. And guess what, they were all white. As the more recent attention getting scandals involving drugs in which the ring leaders were white.
So it's low moral character poor supervision that nurtures the type of behavior bringing dishonor to the Dept.not race or ethnicity. So focus on the us factor and don't fall for divisiveness that is being spewed by some of fellow officers.
we even hire shitbags from around the country even bust outs from new york..

Chicago does draw officers from the community this has been our history here. Unlike New York/New Jesery which draws management from the available pool of Morons idiots and imbeciles.
Our current leader aspires to be a Moron.
(for those who were alive before we had to be politically correct in every thing mental defectives were graded by ability. Moron the highest functioning follow by imbecile and the lowest functioning was the idiots)
“It reminds us that we must redouble our efforts to ensure the integrity of our officers."-Garry McCarthy
Sure Gary your about integrity but then why are you pushing the Detectives to Ex Clear crime on threat of getting dumped out of their assignment. Run up the number of clearences or get dumped
Maybe McGruff could go over to City Hall and make some arrest. That building is loaded with thieves.

He's right. Residency requirement killed the rest of the state as far ad applicants go. So yes, we are at the mercy of city residents- be they minority gangbabgers like pacman or white clouted trash like finnegan. Truth hurts but it is truth. That said, he should have had better tact.
11/21/2011 11:14:00 AM
Right. We need more suburbanites on the dept. They have better breeding.
You sir are an elitist jagoff. Holding applicants to higher standards would help. Plenty of good guys available in Chicago. It would not be PC to hire them.
however his reason is all wrong. We don't get quality officers because our hiring process won't let us.

I wish I could say you were right, but I was an FTO for many years, and let me tell you, I trained a lot of recruits, black, white and latino who couldn't write or spell worth a damn.

Lots of retiring exempts (and even some people who aren't exempts) have done the same thing. Not a Brown fan, but he's got his ass covered on this. He'll be gone forever from our ranks soon enough (thank God!), so it's time to concentrate on other things of a more urgent matter here.
I don't like him very much, but I think that's a pretty fair appraisal of things. Police are a reflection of the society they come from, good and bad alike.
These beatoffs in particular were just gang infiltrators. Every big city has always had to deal with this sort of thing. Even the military is dealing with it.
Still, a wise man once said...
Should the temptation ever arise for an officer to involve himself with the wrong things, he is effectively making himself an 'ace in the hole' for his criminal associates. When one of them is popped with a couple kilos or gets their head caught in the mousetrap in any way, having intimate knowledge of a dirty copper goes a LONG way with prosecutors when deal time comes.

*******************************
Best comment so far on this subject matter. I totally agree with you sir and couldn't of said it better myself.
It has been just over six months now that I have had the incredible privilege of leading
the best police department in the world. Each day I anticipate new accomplishments and achievements in our fight against crime, and without fail, you have exceeded expectations
and demonstrated outstanding professionalism and excellence.
That is why it is especially disturbing to learn two individuals affiliated with the proud
name of the Chicago Police Department were indicted on federal charges Friday. The U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Northern District of Indiana
announced charges against 15 alleged members or associates of the Latin Kings street gang for their roles in a racketeering conspiracy, and among this
group was one former and one active Chicago Police Officer.
Allegations indicated both were committing armed robberies while employed as sworn officers,
and in some instances, using police uniforms and vehicles during the commission of these crimes. The indictment also alleged both stole drugs, weapons,
and cash and were given a portion of stolen proceeds for committing these crimes.
Such unspeakable actions by even one individual betray the public’s trust in our honest
and heroic efforts, and dishonor the commitment each of us upholds while serving and protecting with integrity. As this dedication is tied to our core values, it is
understandable there is much confusion, disappointment, and even anger at these circumstances. Of grave concern is the potential
for pessimism that only serves to undermine ambition and greater progress in our mission.
We must guard against this and consider the announcement an opportunity to renew
our dedication to our sworn oath. Public scrutiny of this event validates the great importance of our work and the high standards of integrity and responsibility
associated with our positions. Let our collective drive be in rooting out misconduct at any level in our ranks to make it clear we will not tolerate such
behavior. Those who are here unfaithfully do incredible damage. May we also redouble our efforts in the communities we have been
called to serve with actions that inspire the highest degree of public confidence.
Policing is a vocation of great solidarity and camaraderie, and we must support one
another in the challenging situations encountered each day. This includes not only life-threatening situations but ethical issues related to our authority as law enforcement
officers. It takes courage to lead peers in either circumstance, and supervisors especially serve to model, guide, and encourage the best
decisions. Strive each day to ensure you and your colleagues stay the course safely and nobly.
Thank you for your allegiance and hard work, and I wish you and your loved ones a happy and healthy Thanksgiving holiday

.....how can this idiot talk about ethics, integrity, misconduct, leading peers. How can he ask supervisors to model, lead, guide and encourage when he himself doesn't embody these qualities...
He is a hypocrite and that is the only example we see....
He's like our own version of Joe Biden.

Wasn't this guy arrested himself back east over some ticket squabble?
DON'T be a dick! Obviously, DTEB is burning some of his hours on the books. It shouldn't be that hard to figure it out.

Burning your hours means you are still receiving a paycheck and you ARE NOT RETIRED. Scamming? you bet. I didn't know that we can receive a paycheck from the dept. and work FULL TIME WORKING ANOTHER job. What's good for the goose...

So, McCarthy, would you not "draw police officers from the community at large", specifically the Mexican American community since the majority of narcotics in the U.S. come thru Mexico?
And, the African American communities have the highest level of street-level narcotics sales.
"We do not always get the highest quality" from where else.... please answer that question! Officers from Englewood, Austin, Garfield Park? Are those officers, from these "communities at large" substandard?
Where would you prefer to hire from? Beverly, and the Northwest side exclusively?
11/21/2011 01:24:00 AM
And I didn't come from a "community at large"...I came from the fucking suburbs. He's an idiot. So he's basically saying the department hired officers on the job from city neighborhoods that were "questionable" to begin with. How about don't the supt should't say anything else because he's "questionable".
Can you please put a "like " button next to your comments?

The system is stacked against us from the beginning. What do you thing happens when u don't hire the best and brightest in every class. You get shit. And that's what thus dept has turned into. Are mushmouth unedumacated non English speaking fearless leaders with no commensense are on display daily showing us exactly where we are headed

Just reading your post here, you are definitely (I spelled it out since you couldn't) right that the department doesn't have the "best and brightest" in every class. Just so you it's "affirmative" not affirmitive... "our" not are.
Touretts McCarthy. T-Mac!

LOLOLOL!!!! Good one!
Lest we forget who our leader is, a paragon of virtue and someone who is fit to lead:
New Jersey Police Official Attacks Cop Over Ticket
A top New York Police Department official appeals charges that stem from an attempt to get his daughter out of a parking ticket.
The New York Police Department Deputy Commissioner of Operations, Garry McCarthy, 47, will appear in a Hackensack, New Jersey courtroom today to appeal a disorderly conduct conviction that arose from an attempt to get his daughter out of a parking ticket. The charge stems from a February 18, 2005 shouting match with police at a Palisades Interstate Parkway rest stop in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey.
"He believed the officers would show deference to him as a high-ranking officer and secure a dismissal of the parking violation," the prosecution's legal brief stated, as quoted in the Star-Ledger newspaper.
McCarthy and his wife had been traveling in a NYPD Ford Explorer while daughters Kyla, 18, and Kimberly, 15, followed in a Saturn sedan. At around 11:20pm the daughters separated from their parents to enter a rest stop and use the restroom. A pair of Parkway police officers, neither in uniform, noticed they Saturn had parked in a handicapped parking space. The officers issued a parking ticket.
Returning to their vehicle, Kyla McCarthy explained she suffered from ankle surgeries following an automobile accident. She had a valid handicapped ID badge on her personal vehicle, but the Saturn she had been driving at the time belonged to her mother. The New Jersey officers didn't accept the explanation, so she immediately called her father from a cell phone.
Garry McCarthy drove up in the police SUV, blocking the unmarked New Jersey police car. McCarthy described one of the New Jersey officer's response to him as a "profanity-laced tirade at the top of his lungs." The New Jersey officers accused McCarthy of the same, adding that they smelled alcohol on his breath. As a crowd watched, McCarthy was arrested and placed in handcuffs.
During a trial lasting several months, McCarthy's attorney questioned the credibility of one New Jersey officer, pointing to 24 civil complaints on his record. McCarthy and his wife were ultimately convicted of making "unreasonable noise" and each charged $230. Their appeal will be heard today.
McCarthy is now being considered for the police chief job in Newark, New Jersey.
Grau did something similar as DTEB.Only he went on the medical with a bad back when he got dumped by Daley back to Lt till he turned 60 to get the free benefits. Then he started right away as the head of security at the Merch Mart for about 8 months till he couldn't handle the job and then moved on to the St att office and ran with that for 2 yrs and bailed on that and on to the ISP.Sounds like he works for an agency till they catch on that he can't handle the job and then he use's the Hispanic angle for the next one.Just maybe he doesn't want to be around the family and boosting his ego is more important as 80% of the retired bosses. Just remember get him a big headstone so he can have enough room for all his position's.

NO please don't. Facebook is for self-centered retards. I have never seen pictures of so may men taking self-pics entitled "so fresh and clean." News flash no one cares that you just got a fucking haircut and I don't want to read the article you "liked" because you only read the headline and have no clue what the article is actually about.
Here is a tip. Don't buy "Facebook" when it IPO's because nobody is going to give a fuck about it ten years.
well like i pointed out earlier
seems to imply that that they think all cops are bad(which we know isn't the case) and they looking to make examples of
as the highest qaulity of people
i'm sure the requirements are pretty high( if this was a superindent of NYC) shows what thier requrements are:)anybody with a pulse?
if nyc needs help there is the monk parrot nest off of cicero
(and thier brains are only this big {.})

Good one. That man has an ego that can't fit in a skyscraper!
Do you think Prentiss Marshall is having second thoughts about quotas and unqualified minority hiring. His policy and that of the Federal government is an abject failure across the country. Granted there are ore minorities on the job, but the bad ones are bad. And do you think if some guy/gal has gang tatoos they ought to be looked at real hard. This country is going to hell.
Good one. That man [Grau] has an ego that can't fit in a skyscraper!
