Drinking is OK Again
Bulls game:
So were these tickets a gift? Because those seats are usually owned by ultra rich bigwigs and corporations. And the Ethics Test we're all required to take has pretty strict limits on gifts over $50.
We noticed a few extra streetlights seemed to be out on Madison Street the other night, too.

That is not a beer. That is Rahm Emmanuel piss. He is following the strange occult rules of the Rahm Emmanuel administration.
he probably got the 8 dollar glass of swill for free too--- does he have to go down and piss and blow like the rest of us---
That's not alcohol SCC,
That's the Mayor's Kidney kool-aid!!!!
Ovsr
Politicians. including the Supt., are the privileged. The rest of us can watch the game on tv at the corner bar. Better company at the corner pub.
Same old same old....what's good for the goose isn't good for the gander
The New York City basketball Knickerbokers are the team to beat!
He is OFF DUTY! Give him a break.
You guys don't ever stop for just ONE?
This is only shows him drinking ONE beer. He's not in uniform either.
This is his PRIVATE life. Can't he just be allowed to relax after work.
At the end of the day, he's just a cop like us. He deserves to UNWIND after a stressful day of dealing with the public.
...and Rham.
He's in the girlfriend seat!
Yawwwn, slow news day scc huh. Who cares??? I mean really? The dude cant have a beer at a game? I dont know any copper that has been jammed up off duty for having a few beers and BEHAVING THEMSELVES. All the idiots jammed up for drinking have either gotten into fights, domestics, killed people driving home etc. Im not defending the Supt here but your kinda stretching it dont you think? well, whatever. Its hard to get anyone on this site to agree with you..especially when you use your head or common sense.
That is sufficient evidence for termination according to the ethics ordinance. Maybe some should motion the FOP to call the inspector general for a investigation to be opened up. Maybe McCarthy wants to get fired before the G8 fiasco.
Don't worry he won't drive drunk. Because there's a police officer that's been taken off the beat, off the street, out of the box, off the hotspot, out of the crystal ball, off of the Compstat treadmill...
So that can drive his tipsy ass home...
At commander's pay...
At time and a half...
And get free tickets too
I wish I was EXEMPT
from the rules.
Seriously? I think a man can go to a bulls game and have a beer, Just be greatful it's not J-Fled.
That's not a beer, that's his Random Drug Test urine sample.
Best. Website. Ever.
Who cares its the Supt of police. Its no different than the suite that the commander of 009 has always gotten at comiskey park. And the season box tickets the commander of 023 gets at Wrigley.
Scc, body slam.... Ps at Commander Kups funneral Father Tom St Rita mentioned the blog... I bet a few exempts squrimed at your mention while they sat at the pew.
I spit my O'Doul's out when I saw that!
He's got a crush on Sarah Kustok and just wanted to say hi to her.
I have met the man, and he was not drunk, did not shoot out street lights, or threaten any on duty officers with his position of superior authority, after his daughter got a ticket. He also did not preach to me about government sponsored racism.
U guys are liars.
See the problem is, most to all us officers have no problem with super enjoying a bulls game with a couple of beers, I'm getting the impression from actually meeting him and what others have told me is he's a real person, and a cop. Our focus should be on IPRA and city hall, they hate us and it's not ok to them. The low moral, being fucked with, stress, this job going to shit, g8, low manpower is all the city 's mismanagement and liberal infrastructure who view the police as a expendable dumb racist worth nothing servant, ready to be fired on a whim,, that's are problem.
He's undercover. Deep cover.
Are you for real. A man having a beer? You might have something with the gift issue, but you're straying into petty territory with the beer thing.
floor seats go for a couple grand don't they? Oh and yeah that doesn't include your beerz.
Does that mean drinking alcohol on or off duty is now allowed - as opposed to current CPD rules and regulations?
He's just holding the beer for his friend. Who went to the bathroom. He just got there. And those aren't his pants.
This is exactly why I hate this job and this city.
Those tickets are $1200.00 each.
GIVE ME A BREAK.... iam not a fan of the guy, but who cares if he goes to a bulls game and has a beer
Whats a beer cost at a Bulls game, $10?
hmmm, I guess nobody here has every gone to a game and had a beer before. Who cares?
Hasn't he heard of the "Red Solo Cup" song?
My apologies in advance to anyone who watches the video.
Maybe he can strong arm one of his favorite beer companies to sponsor a Safe Streets Basketball League?
Like he strong armed those tickets? No wait, that was Quid Pro Quo...sorry, what was I thinking. I'm not good at good old Chicago Politics.
It's good to see Scott Skiles still in the NBA. They don't make 'em like that anymore.
Drinking is NOT ok. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. Fuck! I'm on TV! What the hell is this, Candid Camera? Hi, Mom! It's actually a Public Service Announcement I'm doing. Am I fired? Fuckin Bulls! Fuckin Jets!
Why am I on camera? Cameras are only for the Blueshirts! Last time I checked, I was your fucking Boss!
The amount of drunk commenting is going to be astronomical! I can't believe I spelled such a big word correctly, I'm from Jersey! You from Jersey?
NEW SANCTUARY CITY DRINKING GAME!!
Every time a person gets shot in the Sanctuary city you take another drink!
Awww man wait... you mean to tell me that we went through a case in the last 48 hours...?
Anyone know if they put up one of those signs outside the UC that you see for road improvement and such ?
You know the ones... they say something like ..."YOUR ILLINOIS CORPORATE TAX BREAK DOLLARS AT WORK.."
...and then it has all the politicians names on it..
The right-hand man to former Chicago Police Superintendent Jody Weis will lead Cook County's troubled homeland security and emergency management agency, Board President Toni Preckwinkle announced Thursday.
Michael Masters, who was Weis' chief of staff, said he will bring accountability, financial responsibility and efficiency to the department, which is the subject of a federal investigation into allegations of mismanagement of federal homeland security grants.
Fast forward ...

I thought we weren't supposed to consume alcohol while on duty? Is it only the bosses who can consume while they are working? What happens if he gets called out to an incident while he's half in the bag? That's besides the fact that he got these seats for free.
rhambo's seats. Remember he can commit domestic battey drink on duty and screw his under employee. Its in his contract. The "Do as I Say Not As I Do Clause"
Party!!
Thank-you u scc! For pointing this out! From a 3 year wonder blue shirt.
So what, he attended a sporting event and had a drink, is it news worthy enough to post. Jeez a couple weeks ago I went to a Wolves game and a few and even made the jumbo tron. Should I be crucified like the Sup, give it a break.
Wow, 42 seconds left in the game and he practically has a full beer left. So either he was milking that thing for the entire fourth quarter, or he picked up a few beers before the start of the fourth to get him through the end of the game. Which do you think it was?
I mean it could be worse. Bloody Weekend in Jalisco Results in 30 Homicides
Sunday, January 29, 2012 | Borderland Beat Reporter Chivis
I wouldn't mind it so much if he at least covered the beer with a wrinkled rolled back brown paper bag.
Out of respect for the beat officer.
I couldn't place where I'd seen McCarthy before, then it hit me.
Google Spider man's boss.
J. Jonah Jameson. He was a screamer too.
This town needs an enema!
I bet the Boss is regretting his decision to stay until :42 seconds left in the game. At least he looks happy. :-(
BTW, look at the empty seats around him. I guess you don't have to leave early to beat the crowd when you can get picked up at the door.
Awesome...Rules for us...Rules for them... this city is a joke,we all take the same ethics test...however... rules only apply when normal people might benefit.......OURFOUNDING FATHERS WOULD PuKE ON THESE PEOPLE WE ELECTED TO REPRESENT US...THIS IS WHAT WE TRIED/AND DIED TO BREAK FREE FROM..WE SUCCESSFULLY DID SO...NOW IF WE TRY AND Gather to protest what is being done to usto justify our movements the people we elected to protect our rights take them away.....And i quote "why trade one tyrant 3000 miles away for 3000 tyrants 1 mile away".. Im a working guy... i work to pay for those that are less fortunate....people need help that's fine. but i don't need to be risking my life for people that have zero disregard for human life...tax payers should be out raged that their hard earned money is being spent trying to prevent violence in districts that are notorious for having little regard to human life. while good honest tax payers hope that police can make it to them in time while violet crimes are in progress. example 5800 n Oconto. we need to stand up and demand that we the tax payer be represented. we pay the bills. our safety first
Clout is clout. Don't blame the player - blame the game. Supt. Martin was in charge when I got hired. I saw K.M. from FOP wrongfully discharged among other officers. Everyone knew in KM's case she got fired for bullshit! However, the powers that be made a decision. This is an example of the power of clout, and the media.
Please, everyone calm down. It was the Fucking Milwaukee Bucks!! Nobody wants those tickets. They're a shitty team. Rham gets the Laker tickets! Bea gets the Raptor tickets.
Let's break it down.
Rham: Yankees/White Sox, all Bears tickets, Stanley Cup
McCarthy: Milwaukee Bucks, San Diego Padres/Cubs
Deputy Superintendent/Gold Star Suckholes: Wolves, Fire Soccer, Dunkin Donut coupons, Goldbraid Pension
Lieutenant/Sgts and other dead-end white shirts: Station Supervisor Position.
Who was seated next to McDrunkin at that game?
2 sets of rules,
At least !
Higher standard my balls.
cr#?
Yes he maybe holding a glass of beer, however, how many beers did he consume before that photo was taken and afterwards.
If you are going to drink at a sporting event McDrunk, then you need to hold yourself just as accuntable as every other officer.
I see nothing wrong with SCC posting this pic.
I think those are Mike Madigan's seats, which are owned by the Miller Brewing Co.
Nice...
Putting the beer aside just where did the Supt. get that very expensive ticket? We are not supposed to accept gifts because of our position as law enforcement officers. Does this include the boss also? Going after McCarthy is just the result of P/Os being pissed off and pissed on by the city administration. Just frustration I guess. Most are just venting on this forum.
This is exactly why I hate this job and this city.
1/30/2012 12:49:00 AM
Let me get this straight: You hate this City because the Superintendent went to a basketball game and drank a beer?
Maybe I am misinterpreting this. I hope you hate this City because we pay millions of dollars to mutant overgrown thugs to play a game. That I would understand.
If you hate this City because your boss had a beer, then you have problems and are a douche bag.
Right about now, McBustedOnLiveTv is writing a post-dated check payable to some Emanuel lackey who 'owns' those season tickets. Said check to be returned to him in cash down the road a bit when this incident, like all others, is eventually forgotten about. Don't forget to write something clever on the 'memo' line, Gare.
Somebody needs to add a "FOIA request McCarthy's 2012 Tax Return" to their Post-It note accumulation.
who cares!!!
It is good to be the king.

........hey McCarthy...stay off the blog!!
Come on... Leave the guy alone on this one!!!!!!!
Off topic but to the mornings G8 NATO class, the app is called heart rate in the apple app store. Free.
I am sure he is unarmed while endulging with liquid refreshments because that would be a violation of rules and regulations, I even wonder if was given a copy of the rules and regulations since he was never the real CPD
He is OFF DUTY! Give him a break
I agree. This is getting a little petty!
Hey, 12:49 on 30Jan-
You hate the job and the city because the Superintendent has a beer at the Bulls game? I guess it doesn't take to much to get you to hate, does it. I can think of many reasons to hate the city but a guy kickin back and having a beer isn't one of them.
Don't be such a whiner.
Who cares? And those seats aren't usually owned by "bigwigs" as you put it. Anyone can buy courtside seats. Wow must be a slow day if this is what you got up today.
Is this Salt Lake City? Are we Mormons? He is the Superintendent, he's Irish and he's off-duty; he has every right to a beer and a discounted seat. If you always pay full price and have never had a drink; then you are not the "Real", unless you are attending No Cop Out meetings.
Not a fan of McMustache, but the is having a beer at a Bulls game, who fucking cares..
I've been a police officer for over twenty-five years was ordered to take the ethics text while I was IOD.I have no problem with him drinking but he does have to explain where the tickets came from and how he got them. The commander in 009 and 023 should also have to explain
Don't do as I DO. Do as I say.
Alright were starting to sound just like the fucken media give him a break im sure this is not while on duty...Go ahead Supt. drink up... this buds for u!!
I have to say this wasn't necessary. The guy should be allowed to have a few beers if he's not working and enjoy the game, no matter where his seat are. Kind of a cheap shot. Would you have posted a co-worker off-duty having a beer, or in great seats at a sporting event? Give him some slack unless he does something outrageous or harmful to us off-duty.
The real issue is the ethics form we fill out for the city and not the drinking a beer. That is clearly a violation. Since he accepted these expensive tickets are police officers going to have to give some big wig free security services on the tax payers dime. I bet they are.
The rule is that you cannot be intoxicated while on or off duty...and I agree with most of the posters that this is a non issue..

If you are that concerned about it just call Ipra yourself, instead of having others do your work for you. Call them and put your name on it. I'm sure they will take it.
Ah, memories. I can recall a couple of South side bars we used to frequent that St's & San gave up on changing the St. light bulbs. What a great and different time. Stay safe.

Rule 15. Intoxication on or off duty
didn't one of CPD's female commanders drive into midway airport , escort elton john , receive free concert tickets for herself , other exempt members , was demoted and now Assigned as an Inspector , it's the CPD way
clout runs it
did he operate a city vehicle to get home? After ONE beer, he is over .04... lose a day's pay?
Big deal.. I drink in my squad while listening to games...
Goldenboys are always taken care of.Who watches the watcher???
Its apple juice.Prove that its beer.
I think some of you take this shit too seriously. And by that, I mean the people chastising SCC...if you haven't noticed, he/she/they like to be a pain in the ass of the incompetent "Command" staff. Have a laugh at the uncomfortableness and quit yer bitching.
Your guy looks like Matt Millen.
In regards to the Cook County Homeland Security debacle.
I do not like Masters. He could not work with regular people and could not believe anyone but him could have an idea. I think he is just as stuck up as his master, Weiss, but in all fairness.
Everything that is being investigated was under the old administration ( stroger ) and I think he is there to pick up the pieces for the Feds and possible send of wew hundred stoger allies to jail.
HEY ALL YOU DUMB-FUCKS
It's not about the beer.. it's about the $1200.00 HE DID NOT PAY FOR!
If WE received a gift like that we would be fired!!!!

**************
But were those tickets given to you by a politician/someone that could benefit from a favor or did you pay for them? Big difference
Dude having a beer big deal. He kind of looks like a fat Freddie Mercury from Queen.
"awwwn, slow news day scc huh. Who cares??? I mean really? The dude cant have a beer at a game? I dont know any copper that has been jammed up off duty for having a few beers and BEHAVING THEMSELVES. All the idiots jammed up for drinking have either gotten into fights, domestics, killed people driving home etc. Im not defending the Supt here but your kinda stretching it dont you think? well, whatever. Its hard to get anyone on this site to agree with you..especially when you use your head or common sense."
I couldn't have said it better.
That is not a beer. That is Rahm Emmanuel piss.
Love it, Love it, Love it
My leader. He inspires me. He makes me so proud. He brought his own apple-cider to the game so he would not look like a classless punk-boozer. That's important.
Even so, he looks so dangerous! That dead-pan "I am going to fuck you up real good" stare sends tingly thngs up my spine. It's the same look G-LOVE gave Hargesheimer just before pressing the launch button.
Lt. MB
Ot: Drunk pea on the floor in 005 and play air piano for the police. Fake cop busted in 005 for shaking down a DVD bootlegger on 112 and Mich.
You guys are missing the point. While its true that it is just "a" beer, remember the general orders state that we shall refrain from being intoxicated in public. If you get in any trouble which some assume is the equivalent of stepping on your dick you're going to have to blow. This is where you are wrong. We would have to blow even if its not stepping on your dick. What if you witness something and act within your duties? You run the risk of being ordered to blow. Sure if you're on the right side with your actions you will most likely be ok, but technically speaking, there is a possibility of having to blow. Now we all know that Illinois considers intoxicated to operate a motor vehicle to be .08 which is less than one drink for a lot of people. So to clarify we are bound to adhere to the standards that the rest of the state follows to operate a vehicle. Is this right? Hell no, but this is our "leader" who is supposed to lead by example which this guy doesn't get. Previous bosses knew this and refrained from drinking in public because of the example it set. Sure we all know about the bosses night at certain bars but they aren't rubbing the troops' faces in it.
He's got a crush on Sarah Kustok and just wanted to say hi to her.

You go girl! And there is nothing wrong with the pictures showing your hillbilly, roadkill bbq, rainbow flannel and blue jeans, forest preserve, wedding reception with empty beer bottles on the picnic table as you and your signifgicant-first cousin were proclaiming your vows.
Seriously? Leave the guy alone. A bunch of cry baby bitches! That's what you sound like! I have met him, he is the real police and a very nice guy. He is more like one of us then Weis ever could be. Give the guy a chance.
Just like Rahm with the residency do as I say not as I do!
Hypocritical bastards. Both of them.
Those of you screaming "leave him alone, he's off duty" won't say shit when some self-righteous asshole calls for the "IPRA Rapid Response Team" armed with a portable instrument to "get" the copper just kicking back having a few pops in his back yard...
No problem with the duties & responsibilities that come with the job.
Big problem with the implication and nodding acceptance/inferrence by the public at large and the political criminals who run this city that coppers are second class citizens and have no right to life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness and all that jazz.
McMouthy deserves every stone thrown at him.
Stuff likes this makes me stop reading this blog. Its kind of pathetic that people care if this guy goes out for a beer
I DVRd that game, during which cameras panned past McSuds at least 8-10 times.
On every instance he could be seen leaning forward smelling the hair of that blonde sportscaster in the next row, then recoiling when he sensed the camera was nearby.
The first couple of times he tried to play it off like he was talking to her. The next few times be made it look like he was reacting to a questionable foul against the Bulls. But there was no disguising the last time - he unbuttoned and reached into his shirt near his waist. Emerging with the lint from his belly button, he flicked it onto her left shoulder and then used it as an excuse to once again lean forward and put his beak in her lockes.
What a weirdo.
Scott skiles sure has good taste in ties
Who cares? This ahole is dismantling CPD piece by piece. I have never seen this before in my 20 years. We are really in trouble come May ladies and gentlemen.
Wait..isn't that Lt Scotchbreath next to him?
McCarthy is my hero!!!!!!!
"He's a cop like us"
"He can have a beer"
Wake up you pooches, he's a hired gun working for the man who wants to reduce you to minimum wage, no benefit assholes.
You take your shots where you can get them when dealing with your children's enemy.
Was he armed while swigging that brewski? I sure hope not!
For those of you that didn't get the real point of the post im embarrassed to say I work alongside you. Boy you guys are dum.
off topic, a 3rd watch sgt (deep voice) from 017 Pat E. is telling third watch officers to check off at 0020 hrs because he is scared of the new inspectors. is this going on elsewhere?
All you slow assholes outwho there who are taking the point of, "What's the big deal? Can't the guy have a beer?" Are fogetting 2 things.
(1) Technically, NO he can't have a beer per our rules and regs. None of us can. It's a bullshit and usually unenforced rule, but a rule none the less. He's supposed to be the top cop and therefore top example setter.
(2) The blog is pro 'sarcasm and sillineess'. It says so right on the top.
it's a beer, relax. This actually means he is normal compared to that alien Weis. Also, maybe he paid for the tickets, I mean he does make enough to pay for them himself.
I think our focus should be on more important issues than our Supt enjoying a night out. I'd be doing the same thing if I was him.
Find something else to bitch about. The guy is in civilian clothes and is having a beer at the Bulls game, big deal.
Really? Some of you are offended? Give me a F*CKING BREAK! Where does is say you can't have a drink when you are off duty? How are you any different than the media putting out BS? If you are offended by this photo then you are a MORON!
The man makes enough to afford $800 tickets if he wants. My quetion is who was he with at the game, or did he go stag? Still, none of anyone's business. Cheers, Boss! Here's to you......
is it true the burglary teams are not working g8 nato?
The right-hand man to former Chicago Police Superintendent Jody Weis will lead Cook County's troubled homeland security and emergency management agency, Board President Toni Preckwinkle announced Thursday.

-----------------------------
Get a grip, I don't like him either but the scope of this investigation was from about 2 years ago, long before he went to county. The findings just came out
Those in glass houses .......
SCC: Sure he has a right to his privacy just like all of us, but keep the fire on him, because if anyone thinks he is justlike the rest of us, then I'll piss in a cup and sell it to them as MGD. There is NO QUESTION that there is a double standard in this town for the "in" people and the "clout" backed. The media doesn't scrutinize them like they do us. So, keep up the good work, SCC.
You know what brings moral down? The constant bitching and whining about every little thing that some of you people do. On this blog, in the office, on the street. It's exhausting. My kids whine less. I've also noticed that the more you whine the less work you do.
O.T.
Time to look at ourselves in the mirror and make an honest assessment. Are some of us truly doing what the badge represents? Are we using all this "drama" as an excuse to be lazy? Are we honoring those who came before us and teaching those who came after us? No matter what the media says, no matter what some of the public says, no matter what some of us say, this in an honorable profession. The silent majority in this department agrees. They silently go about the day doing the right thing doing their job.
Bitch and whine all you want. Are you sure, that at the end of the day, you're not part of the problem?
Looks like a good refreshing glass of APPLE JUICE stop picking on our leader ha ha, bye the way who was he at the game with? Interesting....
Unfortunately we are stuck with him for a while. Hopefully Rahm will lose the next election and we will get a leader from the ranks. This guy is definitely worse then JFED! Thanks for all of that great training we are getting for the G8/Nato! You really are a good planner!
He's having a beer at a ball game...so what?
Who cares! As someone wrote, he's not acting like a jagoff waving his gun around or beating up his significant other. He is drinking a beer! Get a life people!
Is that Blago next to him?????
Rules don't apply to him. BTW, why don't u think anyone followed up on the compstat book???
He is OFF DUTY! Give him a break.
You guys don't ever stop for just ONE?
This is only shows him drinking ONE beer. He's not in uniform either.

In fact, I don't know anyone, of any rank or any unit who trusts ths guy about any issue big or small. ab
Wow, the guy can't have a beer at a Bulls game? Lets focus on looking out for each other... we can start by getting through May in one piece. And besides, that beer cost $700.00 - the one in my fridge is cheaper. Watch the game at home, less event numbers for gang dispersals sitting next to you at the U.C.
Typical Democommies, with the hypocrisy. Do as I say, not as I do.

OT: aldercreatures have found away around voting for pay raises for themselves. They created an ordinance in 2004 that automatically gives them a yearly cost of living increase. Every aldercreature with the exception of 3 have gracefully taken the yearly increase including Beale, the prick who wants to take away duty availability and uniform allowance. This same prick who got his daughter a full ride at a state university. The same prick who is part owner of a security company getting contracts through the city and the new walmart security contract that was just built in his ward.
...one for the ditch.
He was there to show the Bulls owners how to play the game with only 4 players making less than $50thousand each.

Celebrities at sports events, from Al Capone to Jack Nickleson or anyone else with a household name has always been fringe news.
I think he is sipping on a cup full of Rahm's protein water.
do as i say, not what i do! lol
1) Technically, NO he can't have a beer per our rules and regs. None of us can. It's a bullshit and usually unenforced rule, but a rule none the less. He's supposed to be the top cop and therefore top example setter.
Are you nuts? Where does it say a cop can't have a beer? It says you can't be intoxicated on or off duty. STFU if you don't know what you are talking about.
The FUCKING FOP HAS A STOCKED BAR and serves drinks to off duty cops, so what is the problem here?
Clout is clout?
How nice to dismiss it all with lame excuses. How about "the law is the law" and/or "rules are rules"?
How about "broken windows and sweating the little stuff"??
Anyone of the rank and file show up in those thousand's of dollar floor seats on TV and the powers to be would be all over them.
No, there's nothing wrong with having a beer at a basketball game I guess if you're following the rules,
So show everyone the receipt for the tickets. If they're a gift then that's a problem isn't it? If the man paid for them himself than maybe it's not.
Oh and by the way. Did you ever try to buy those seats? Let me tell you something...it's not as easy as placing an order at Ticketron and paying the suggested retail price. Heh..mid court..row one..oh yeah...sure.
I don't read these commenTs, but seriously who doesn't drink off duty? The guys a good but give him a break!
i love it,keep it up guys..this blog lets the little guy that has been screw get back at political hacks..bosses remember who you shit on!!
SCC you must of "photoshopped" that picture. And why did you mention the street lights. Thats not the job of the police to fix them. The Bureau of Electricity handles that problem.
He is OFF DUTY! Give him a break.
You guys don't ever stop for just ONE?
This is only shows him drinking ONE beer. He's not in uniform either.
This is his PRIVATE life. Can't he just be allowed to relax after work.
At the end of the day, he's just a cop like us. He deserves to UNWIND after a stressful day of dealing with the public.
...and Rham.
----------------------------------
If he was not such a "Ball Less Fuck" I would buy him a beer!
I have met the man, and he was not drunk, did not shoot out street lights, or threaten any on duty officers with his position of superior authority, after his daughter got a ticket. He also did not preach to me about government sponsored racism.
U guys are liars.
---------------------------------
I don't care what you think about him Mayor!
I get free tickets to Bulls/Hawks every now and again.... No biggie here. It's always been "do as I say, not as I do" in this dept, anyways.
When he starts smackin' around the old lady or touching little boys, call me....
people are getting killed and this clown is at a basketball game a city that works .
Who said you can't have a beer
Meanwhile our water bill goes up $38.
State Rep. Elaine Nekritz is sponsoring a bill to change the law re. recording a police officer. Mc Carthy agrees we should be recorded, sees value in it.
Seems kind of petty to point it out...
He should be wearing a BOOZER jersery...... McBoozer!!!!
If I had his job, it would be tequila , on the rocks, no sidecars.
Who cares? Some of you people need to lighten up. There is no order that says you can't drink, the order says you can't be drunk. Its a stupid order from the prohibition era.
What is FOP doing for our future contract. Focus on real topics that effect our families lives. I voted for Mike Shields and I want a result this June. If not I am not voting for him.
Come on people...where are your Detective skills? There's no head (foam) in the cup... it's obviously apple juice! And as far as the seat expense...he does not make $35.00 an hour; he can afford it!!!
A regular blue shirt has certain worries and concerns every time he steps out his door. Exempts should incur the same worries, concerns and the aggravation that comes with them.
But they don't...
That's what has a lot of coppers bent out of shape about this... The whole "hooray for me & fuck you" attitude of the clouted and exempted.
G-mac is a high paid gold star gypsy who deserves all the scrutiny we can give him before he loads up his gaudily painted Compstat wagon and takes his "smartest police ceo ever" sideshow elsewhere to inflict chaos, affliction and misery.
The blue shirt will keep rolling from call to call and trying to survive.
Nice to see G-mac's loyal followers here in sizeable numbers to shout everybody down on this topic.
9.5 taught him well...
The gold stars owing allegiance to the people pimp-walking this formerly great organization to a stand-still would have to have THEIR lives and careers destroyed on a pretext(the dreaded fate of the blue shirt) before a cease-fire in the war against the cares and concerns of regular Coppers is called.
War is only fun for the people who feel above any collateral damage or casualties. They'll sue for terms when enough of THEIR cares and concerns are seen rotting in the sun...(Vicious analogy but so be it.)
A mere blue shirt would be very loudly & very PUBLICLY (hello anal-whore local media) lynched from the Picasso for this or any other seeming impropriety caught on tape or film.
I totally wish we coulda seen if a certain Lt he was rumored to be schtooping was sitting next to him earlier in the game. Or even better, Father Felcher. THAT woulda made for some serious comments here. Either way, prove he was 'intoxicated' and prove he didn't pay for his tickets. I agree the dude is a stroke, but maybe...MAYBE we may all be reaching on this one.
All you slow assholes outwho there who are taking the point of, "What's the big deal? Can't the guy have a beer?" Are fogetting 2 things.
(1) Technically, NO he can't have a beer per our rules and regs. None of us can. It's a bullshit and usually unenforced rule, but a rule none the less. He's supposed to be the top cop and therefore top example setter.
(2) The blog is pro 'sarcasm and sillineess'. It says so right on the top.

Read your rules and regs instead of spouting off. NOWHERE does it say you can't have a drink off duty.
That being said, I got the humor, scc. After JPWeis' hysteria about people drinking in their own back yards, I get the humor.
Seriously? Leave the guy alone. A bunch of cry baby bitches! That's what you sound like! I have met him, he is the real police and a very nice guy. He is more like one of us then Weis ever could be. Give the guy a chance.
1/30/2012 10:03:00 AM

You've MET him and can pronounce he's the real police from a MEETING? You must be psychic. (I'd have said 'physic', but only the police understand that.)
He's nice? Okay, so what about 'nice' makes him competent to lead the second largest police department in the country? My mom is nice, too. I guarantee you, she is not qualified to lead this department.
As for being more like us than Weis could ever be, well, I think we could make a case for ANYBODY being more like us than Weis could ever be.
You go girl! And there is nothing wrong with the pictures showing your hillbilly, roadkill bbq, rainbow flannel and blue jeans, forest preserve, wedding reception with empty beer bottles on the picnic table as you and your signifgicant-first cousin were proclaiming your vows.
1/30/2012 10:00:00 AM
OMFG! I just shot Pepsi out both nostrils. In a prior life, I was a photographer, and I shot a wedding just like this, in Kenosha. The only differences were that the bride was 6 months pregnant, and the wedding music was playing on a boombox. Half of the redneck wedding party was drunk before the ceremony even started...luckily, I was able to take a pass on shooting the reception.
08:48 He has a driver , you moron
To all you fools who say "he can have a drink, he's off-duty" -- WRONG! He can be called out at ANYTIME. To all those who say "leave him alone, it's his private life" -F*CK HIM! Why on earth anyone, correction - any blue shirt on this job would stick up for him is beyond comprehension. He serves a mayor and administration that believes we should earn less than an employee from McDonald's and would abolish every benefit we earn if that meant putting more money in their pockets. We don't have "private" lives- we are agents of the public trust, like elected officials, and are subject to public scrutiny. However, unlike elected officials, e.g. McCarthy, we are crucified and demonized because it is easier, more newsworthy, and do not have allegiances with those in power. You can bet that he was drinking more than one beer AND was carrying his weapon AND had another officer driving him around, on OUR tax dollar. If it was average Joe Copper out watching a game and having a drink and some sh*thead attacked him on his way home and the media got a hold of it, you can bet your balls McCarthy would be on the 6pm news advocating a full investigation reciting all those holier than thou dept. orders about sobriety on/off duty. Don't compare him with us because he is NOT a beat cop; he is another of the mayor's yes-men. Don't be simple- read between the lines people!
09:55 General orders say refrain from being intoxicated Who said hes intoxicated? And rubbing it in the troops face because hes having a beer at the Bulls game BS
It was also said about driving, he had a driver and that other comment in the blog about what if hes called out to an emergency. I personally have seen him at two emergencies late in the evening and he was definately not drinking
Better than JFed? Tell that to Cozzi. Do you miss the policy group of 5 year never worked the streets po's making policy for the department. The crystal ball unit sure helped stop crime
To everyone sticking up for him saying let the man have a beer. It was only one. I say fuck you. He's been seen in public at Christmas parties and several Rush street bars intoxicated having more than one.
Obviously those sticking up for him have not come off your days off and sent down to piss and blow yet. Remember .021 and you get sent home with no pay and will be monitored for 6 months. If you again fuck up its good bye. I can reach a .021 after a tsp of cough medicine and some cough drops. So stick your he only had one drink on his personal time up your ass.
Wow a lot of McNutjob supporters.
I guess I would be too if he wasn't kissing ass with all the radical Father Hypocrits out there, helping to stir the pot, throwing coppers in front of the bus for bullshit.... I'm not talking the ones I'd throw to the wolves, they are few and far between.
Time will tell, his boozing and skirt chasing will blow up one day... remember you heard it hear first.
This site sometimes really makes me wonder what coppers are all about, since when is it a crime to be seen with a beer inyour hand at a sports event, big deal the camera panned in on him because he is the Supt. of Police. He does have a private life to some extent, would you like it if a camera saw you at an event and you were drinking, your first thought is so what I'm not doing anything wrong. I'm not a fan of his ,but he does have a whole lot of personalities to deal with each day and I bet he never thoguht that this job was that tough, and we Chicago Coppers can be quite tough on others when things don't go exactly as planned. He is working for every dime that he is being paid trust me.
off topic, a 3rd watch sgt (deep voice) from 017 Pat E. is telling third watch officers to check off at 0020 hrs because he is scared of the new inspectors. is this going on elsewhere?
I Think you have won the douche bag of the year award!
Congrats. Your prize is everyone thinks you are the dumbest officer on the watch and everyone now hates you for this moronic comment.
Lmao! Ah c'mmon! Let let em have a beer...
Its his new side gig, David Stern needed a real pro to do random urine sample for drug tests.Hey McOtis ur suppose to wait til the game is over!!!
He is OFF DUTY! Give him a break.
You guys don't ever stop for just ONE?
This is only shows him drinking ONE beer. He's not in uniform either.
This is his PRIVATE life. Can't he just be allowed to relax after work.

No! No break. He was driving a city car with alcohol on board. Pull a CR number. And you can go to hell.
See the problem is, most to all us officers have no problem with super enjoying a bulls game with a couple of beers, I'm getting the impression from actually meeting him and what others have told me is he's a real person, and a cop. Our focus should be on IPRA and city hall, they hate us and it's not ok to them. The low moral, being fucked with, stress, this job going to shit, g8, low manpower is all the city 's mismanagement and liberal infrastructure who view the police as a expendable dumb racist worth nothing servant, ready to be fired on a whim,, that's are problem.

Who even said that he had free tickets? You can buy courtside seats.
We got more to worry about than this.

Right, at a minimum of $500 a ticket for a Pacers game.
You think McCarthy is going to lay out at least $500 for those? Per seat.

It's Kosher then.
Question about the seat gift issue: my Cubs season tickets (yeah, I'm an idiot, blah blah blah) have many dates where the cost of the seat is over $50. If I bring one of my cop relatives or buddies with me to the game, on me, do they have to report it as a gift? Just wondering.
WHOOOOOO HOOOOOO, finally a boss who loves a ball game and a beer.
WTF are gel heads complaining about?

I hate to break it to you but...
No one cares about 005. No one has since about '78.
i heard a certain alderman told jerry springer
"A chicago Police officer is NEVER off duty
and i also wonder while he was drinking
was he carrying his side arm? i thought there were laws in il about fire arms and alcohol
in fact i thought your not even suppose to bring one in to a tavern
or drnking establishment
but that's just me
he gets a play from me, that brewskee looks really flat. and if you don't mind squad i'd like an event # and put a lunch ticket behind that.
I'm sure he had his duty or alt. weapon on his person too!!!
Compstat fodder.

No, they don't. It's not a gift in the course of their employment.

Man up and put YOUR name on that CR. Call and be the complainant, prove your not just another blowhard on this job, or YOU can go to hell.

ETHICS VIOLATION....
1/30/2012 02:33:00 PM
You can say this is an ethics violation along with the complimentary box seats at the major ball parks, but read the city ethics ordinances. You will not find anything in there that points to these as ethics violations. Then, look at what the ethics board has done in the past 15 years: nothing ! Truth be told, the oridinance needs to be rewritten with some teeth in it. But, don't hold your breath. And, dont expect any ethiics laws to apply to the alderman and city elected officials.
