Slow News Day

We can only assume that everyone is awaiting the Sno-mageddon of 2012 - six to ten inches of snow means Obama might be forced to camp out here an extra day, and that would just be uncomfortable for everyone involved.

We put up a bunch of nonsense posts and hopefully that keeps everyone busy for a bit. Boring is good sometimes.

Open boring post for now.

Did a 1st watch copper from 004 really call his daddy, the police, when a Sgt. was going to insist he handle a guard detail that he VOLUNTEERED for... before he found out the prisoner was sick?

Did daddy really call the Station supervisor to complain, and did the ball less station supervisor really back down from daddy and have the guard detail given to someone else?

That's what I'm hearing, anyone?

Chicago has been named as the second best most disaster-ready city in the country, in an online MSN article. New York City was listed as the best.

Maybe they should ask one of our first responders, Police or Fire, for an opinion. There should be no problems during the upcoming G8 conference, as I see it (sarcasm implied).

The CDC took homicides off its list of the top 15 causes of death for the first time in 45 years, Bloomberg News reports. Homicides were responsible for 5.3 fatalities in every 100,000 people, the lowest rate since 1962.


Now it all makes sense.

Illinois has resorted to mass importation of "much needed" murderers.

We can't have homicides falling in Illinois.

It will f--k-up the political agenda.

How are we supposed to extract money from the citizens unless we have this constant fear as a motivator?

We are going to lose the police department as tools if this keeps up, the mayors private army will crumble under it's own weight.

We're going to have to create more petty laws to take away civil liberties in order to create a sense of accomplishment and purpose. More parkers, the war on drugs, curfews, etc... until we can get the numbers and fear back up again.

Damn-it...we need the image that the politicians are here to protect us and that militarization of the city will make you safer.

That's why we are the Sanctuary City I guess.

Then again it all does depend on what your definition of a "homicide" is right?

Station Supervisor?

Station don't talk,walk,eat,shoot,fart,bleed or breed so what do he do?

If he don't get paid he's a dumb P.O.!
If he a Sgt. and don't get paid he's an idiot?
If he's a Lt. and don't get paid he's a brain dead parasite!

If he's a Capt. and don't get paid he's crazy but if he axes for it McDrunk will hypnotise him to turn into a chickenshit rat prick inspector.

If he's the commander and GETS paid he should demand more help,equipment, cars and bars and more fukn money.

NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE WE NEED TO DEMAND COMMENSURATE COMPENSATION AND COHESIVE WORKING CONDITIONS AND SAFETY PROTOCOLS !

AND MORE FUCK MONEY!

LESS OVERSEERS AND MONDAY MORNING QUARTERBACKS OR SWAMI'S. Less IPRA and more IDOC! Less IAD more FOP! Less CR`S and more TD. LESS HURRY UP AND MORE OT. Less OT and more PPO `S.

Wham, bamm thank you mam, Man he couldn't get in and out of here fast enough it seemed.

Funny thing though, and that is all the pictures of the POTUS I've seen on this trip make him look like he's not a happy camper.

Barely a grin.

Could it be that he's that unhappy with Daley? And speaking of Daley is it just me or do people like Ralm and Obama seem to be obsessively trying to promote the message that Bill Daley was doing a marvelous job?

I mean it feels like overcompensation. There's something going on here.

SCC, I think we're gonna need a post about why our union is endorsing lesser qualified candidates over some of our own!

Why is the FOP gping to endorse a lesser qualified candidate for the 35th District State Rep. seat over a more qualified candidate who happens to be one of our own, Sgt. Joe Bird?! Simply because they don't want to make enemies with the 19th Ward Alderman because she's a secretary for that Alderman. Who cares about the 19th Ward Alderman! If elected Joe Bird would be looking out for our interests but our union doesn't really care about the rest of us. Just looking to make back room deals for themselves. Fuck this union.

2. Illinois
State debt per capita: $4,424 (13th highest)
Pct. without health insurance: 13.8 percent (23rd lowest)
Pct. below poverty line: 13.1 percent (25th lowest)
Unemployment: 10 percent (10th highest)

Illinois has fallen from 43rd last year to the overall second-worst run state in the country. The state performs poorly in most categories, but is worst when it comes to its credit rating. Illinois has a credit rating of A+, the second worst given to any state, behind only California. The state has been on credit watch since 2008 because of budget shortfalls and legal challenges against then-governor Rod Blagojevich.

I went to a meeting hosted by Ald. Mary O'Connor last night on how to appeal to get your taxes reduced. It was very informative, and all you have to do is fill out a form and hand it to the reps they have there before you leave.

I found out about it on a website called 'Everyblock' or something like that, that keeps you informed about what's going on in your neighborhood.

There is going to be another one for residents of 'Jefferson' township (check your tax bill for what township you're in) at Oriole Park--on the 25th, or whatever the date is from two weeks from yesterday (Thursday).

It was standing room only, so get there early. Senator Mulroe was there--I asked him what he's doing to protect police pensions and why no one forced the city to make their pension obligations for the last 20 years. Told him I enforce criminal statutes, who enforces the laws like the pension funding?

I did not get a straight answer. I don't think he knew. He said the law was poorly written and the city entered into an agreement they could never fulfill. He said he didn't think efforts to go after our pensions would be successful (yeah, right) and that our biggest threat would be the fund being depleted of funds.

I asked him why my father, who is 86 and retired from the Detroit Fire Dept. since he was 47 is still getting a pension considering Detroit is nearly bankrupt and why politicians are threatening to take ours when the city is not nearly in as dire straits as Detroit. He didn't know.

Senator Mulroe did author a bill that makes it a felony to point a weapon at police. Nice enough guy--to be fair, we didn't have a lot of time to talk. He did give me a card.

We should really start a letter-writing campaign bombarding lawmakers to protect our pensions. I am going to research who and what to write and will post at a later date.

12:42 wants to know why Stoppa wasn't endorsed by FOPs Political Action Committee???

Let's start with her deer-in-headlights look to every other question before she replied poorly to these same questions. The only question she had an immediate answer for was "Is your brother the 1/W WC in 011"?. When asked of she knew who her State Rep was, she DIDN'T KNOW. When asked if she'd be able to pick out her Congressman in order to approach him, say, down in Springfield while working on pension issues, her reply was something like "sure I'd be able to approach them to talk to them, but I don't know who they are really".

I don't know about you, but I want someone at least minimally knowledgeable in politics before I'd ever vote to have them represent me on issues dire to my existence. Kind of like wanting a neurosurgeon poking around in my coconut instead of an alley mechanic.

As for being "disrespected"??? Hardly. We let her know, in so many words, that she needed more experience and knowledge before she'd get our endorsement. If she can't handle the truth at this level, she'll get eaten alive later. The truth hurts sometimes. Sound familiar?? Her reacting to the truth and constructive crisitcism by almost balling her eyes out just reinforced our decision to give her the big "thumbs down".

Disrespected, huh? You sound like every ghetto rat that doesn't quite get her way. Just because someone's the police doesn't mean they have carte blanche. No go P.O. Stoppa if any of what I just wrote is correct. See if she can answer that correctly. There was nothing personal about our decision and no everyone can "win".

Here's an answer: When the Political Action Committee asked Stoppa who her OWN state senator was, she had NO idea! Next time you want someone to run for office LT. Garrido, maybe you should prep them a little better! Probably why you lost your election. How's that for clowning?

So the Sandy Stoppa cheerleader wants a specific answer as to why she wasn't endorsed by FOP? Let's just say that ANYONE that doesn't know the answers to basic questions regarding important issues would be a poor choice to back. Then to walk out pouting because the committee didn't kiss her ass and decide to back her because "I'm one of you guys"?? That says it all right there: I dont like what I'm hearing so everyone else BUT me must be wrong. Sandy, your heart is in the right place, but you don't know what the hell you're talking about or what you're doing yet. We need experienced people who know the ropes that are best suited to put up the best fight for our pensions in Springfield and elsewhere. Save your "I'm one of you guys" for that suburban traffic stop or for free parking at the ball game. Coming on here, whether it's you or some friend doesn't help make your case. In fact it just reaffirms that you're not somebody who FOP should've endorsed. They made the right call on this one. And no, I dont know you or your family or your opponents and I'm not on the committee, but I was there to watch your interview. Good luck to you in the future.

This is a confirmed incident. Happened a couple weeks ago. Sounds like the DSS handled it accordingly. The new breed on this job has a lot to learn. In addition, with all the negative changes taking place and all the white shirts getting moody because of the perceived screwing they are taking, it would be unwise to question the actions of a DSS (aka Lt.) or an XO (aka Capt.) due to the fact you might find yourself walking a beat in the furtherest reaches of whatever hell hole you work in. Some of them can be very vindictive little pricks.
In this case though, the fng was dead wrong and deserves whatever he gets.

Did a 1st watch copper from 004 really call his daddy, the police, when a Sgt. was going to insist he handle a guard detail that he VOLUNTEERED for... before he found out the prisoner was sick?

Did daddy really call the Station supervisor to complain, and did the ball less station supervisor really back down from daddy and have the guard detail given to someone else?

That's what I'm hearing, anyone?

100% true, but kept it off the blog, the criminals already think were pussies, dont need this guy Killing our reputations even further.

"I'd like a specific answer as to why the FOP did not endorse one of our own. Shields personally disrespected PO Stoppa and endorsed her opponent who is a Joe Berrios lacky. Shields just sold out one of his own members for the Machine. What a disgrace this assclown is!

1/12/2012 12:42:00 AM"

How is this for specifics. . .

Joe Lyons, the current 19th District State Representative is trying to give his seat to Robert Martwick, a life long machine hack tax attorney from Norridge, IL who is part of the Madigan/Berrios machine. Joe Lyons is personal friends with Mark Donahue. Mark Donahue, our ex-FOP president, sits on the FOP PAC along with Mike Shields, the current FOP President.

Now, little Mikey Shields knows that his days are numbered as president, so he needs to start making plans. He don't want to go back to working as a P.O. and take a 50% pay cut. So, he needs to start making political friends who can take care of him when his day comes. At the endorsement interview, Mike Shields torpedoed P.O. Sandra Stoppa. According to her, it was clear from when she walked in that she wasn't going to get the endorsement. Mike Shields then unloaded on her with ridiculous questions that were totally irrelevant to her running for office in an effort to protect our pensions. He then proceeded get the board to vote unanimously against her in favor of Martwick.

According to Mike Shields, Robert Martwick, a career machine hack from Norridge, would have our backs in Springfield better than one of our own.

So, to sum it all up, Mike Shields is a political sell-out trying to line himself up for a nice cushy job after his time at FOP comes to an end.

Mike Shields is a rat who needs to be run out of town.

Sears dives after CIT halts supplier loans

Sears Holdings shares fell 5 percent on Thursday on news that commercial lender CIT Group will no longer provide loans to Sears suppliers to finance their shipments to the struggling chain.

http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/breaking/chi-cit-to-halt-loans-to-sears-suppliers-20120112,0,2044062.story

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

Company so screwed up that banks are pulling out even after the State of Illinois handed out millions of dollars in corporate welfare to "save much needed jobs"

Tax breaks should of went to a promising company with a future -- if at all.

Bottom line is that it's an onerous sign for the States tax revenue picture.

Sear losing business, the CME losing business. Ford building in California basically financed by Illinois taxpayer tax breaks and Motorola Mobility sales looking bleak. How's those Illinois tax breaks working for ya now?

Oh yeah and ADM is cutting a thousand or so jobs downstate and Allstate is raising your home insurance costs. That's gonna help the economy and raise state revenue to pay police and fund pensions eh?

Heh..and meanwhile Chicago is cheering about how well the latest bond auction went -- because they were able to finance debt at such a low interest rate even though the cities credit rating was dropped. To that I say pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. Who bought the Illinois bonds? Banks like JP Morgan and ol' JP Morgan will resell them to pension funds, IRA's and 401K investment managers. So the cities gain comes out of the pockets of retirees and near retirees there's no free ride.

Not True!

I was there and the question that Mike Shields asked her was where was the union bug on her cards that she was passing out(she had her cards printed in a non union shop). Other members asked her about her back ground and experience. She was asked if she knew who her Senator was and she had no clue. She is a good looking woman and may or may not be a good policewoman but she was lost at the interview and she would get eaten alive in Springfield.

as far as the limited duty that has been referenced here and in other posts, some food for thought.

1. why are sick police officers being tossed aside because they can only do inside clerical work, when there are HEALTHY OFFICERS THAT ARE DOING CLERICAL WORK INSIDE DUE TO CLOUT?

2. once callback disappears, guess who is going to author the 150,00 police reports (a real figure) annually generated by callback? You guessed it... the able bodied officer on the street. The same officers that are going to let this slide without so much as a whisper of protest.

3. once #2 is realized, callback will be re-invented, probably under another name -so some super intelligent high ranking boss can save face- and will be staffed by able bodied officers, thus further depleting the ranks of able bodied officers- the same officers that are going to let this slide without so much as a whisper of protest.

Yes, there is a small abuse problem, but let's not throw out the baby with the bathwater. The difference between a sick po and a healthy po is a 2 minute conversation with a dr. regarding the results of a routine physical. Be very careful folks, this is pivotal and is largely flying under the radar. WE NEED TO STICK TOGETHER.

I'll leave this anonymous- I have enough trouble getting the city to pay my IOD bills as it is.

Simply because they don't want to make enemies with the 19th Ward Alderman because she's a secretary for that Alderman. Who cares about the 19th Ward Alderman!

More paranoia from a small group who insist on being "victims" at all costs. The only filming they will be doing are mugshots. Besides, as anyone with a year and a day on the job knows, IPRA would be investigating most of the complaints the typical copper would worry about during "riot control" activity. IAD and IPRA have not, do not and will not be working together.

Bekieve it or not folks this is a benefit that affects every officer.

If you need additional recovery time but could work administrativly for a couple weeks here or there the clocks starts at 365 days. That is for your ENTIRE career.

The qualifications to remain on limited or convalescent duty are the same for IOD as well as non IOD.

The reason the city put these restrictions in place was so that NO officer could sue the city under the ADA laws.

Wake up people, these are benefits that are being taken away from you and you want to be a smart ass and call someone a Medical abuser on a blog?????

He’s asked to go out to take a few more pictures with soldiers and embassy staffers. He’s asked to sign copies of his book. “He didn’t want to take pictures with any more soldiers; he was complaining about it,” a State Department official tells me. “Look, I was excited to meet him. I wanted to like him. Let’s just say the scales fell from my

Then the Democrats spend millions of dollers and bring in outside unions AFSCME et al to campaign for Mulroe. Mulroe says if he wins he will not raise the Illinois Income Tax. Well he won, and a week later he votes to raies the Illinois Income Tax. The one vote needed by the Democrats. Mulroe, and he may be a nice guy will do what he is told to do.

I was hoping that we had heard the last of Garrido after his alderman defeat but I guess not. Half the coppers I know wouldn't vote Garrido is he was paying them to.

Now the entire Northwest side and the surrounding burbs will be plastered with his campaign garbage again.

Hopefully this defeat will send this loser packing.

And a big Fuck You to Stoppa for not supporting our pensions!

I'd like a specific answer as to why the FOP did not endorse one of our own. Shields personally disrespected PO Stoppa and endorsed her opponent who is a Joe Berrios lacky. Shields just sold out one of his own members for the Machine. What a disgrace this assclown is!

1/12/2012 12:42:00 AM

I wouldn't call asking basic questions disrespecting Stoppa. I want the FOP's endorsement going to someone that will help us all, not to some smuck lackey that thinks it will less dangerous and fun to be a state representative.

Fuuuu 600 people!?

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

Frustrated Chicagoans accused aldermen of shattering communities to protect their incumbencies at the first public hearing on the city’s ward remap process Wednesday night.

At least 600 people flooded into DePaul University’s Student Center in Lincoln Park, with many forced to wait temporarily outside closed doors due to concerns that attendance would exceed fire code limits. For three hours, scores of city residents hurled criticism at the more than 20 attending aldermen, and the two maps they created.

Give all the incumbents their eviction notice please!

As for the poster who insisted P.O. Stoppa was torpedoed at the PAC meeting, c'mon guy. Stoppa was completely unprepared when she showed up. There were several questions regarding her knowledge of pension issues in Springfield and what type of organization she had mobilized for her election; workers, dough, etc. If someone thinks those questions are too tough, maybe Springfield's not the right place for her.

Anyone heard anything about the meeting with the FOP last night about the Limited Duty...

Medical Abuser??
****************************

I was there and I pray that you never get hurt or sick. The showing was poor for what we are about to lose. This does not only affect medical abusers but the whole department. Are you aware of what we will lose? Everyone with less than 15 years on the job should have been there. If we do lose the benefit we are all FUCKED plain and simple. With guys at 15 yrs on you have 365 days that will take you to 16 years on the job. At this point you will get 1 year disability for every 4 years on the job. At 16 you are eligible for 4 years on disability which you can carry until you reach your 20 yoj. Everyone else with less than 15 years needs to be careful out there. Cancer is known to hit certain districts more than others and heart problems are also big on this job. With this new order accommodations will no longer exist be careful who you call medical abuser tomorrow you may be looking at one in the mirror. As for the pregnant officers there is a form you will need to fill out from now on. This new order affects all members even IOD's.

Hey Garrido Just wondering how much Did your union give your campaign. ... How much did FOP? Your sister is all of the nice things said on this board about her. The question is why is the endorsement so important? The coppers who know her ,like her they, and you need to get the word out. The reason is money no FOP endorsement no money. Get the PBPA to endorse her and they can give her money..

How in the hell could the FOP not endorse Sgt. Bird, a veteran police officer and attorney for state representative?

Nobody is better prepared to protect OUR interests than a fellow police officer! That is unless the sworn member is also a member of the FOP PAC.

Hey FOP, explain to us how exactly how anyone connected to Michael Madigan and crew is going to have our interests at heart? Ain't it Mike Madigan who is trying to steal our pensions via "pension reform?"

Real nice!

Sgt Bird pulled out of the race.

Since this is the first real snow since the blizzard, Tommy's making sure he overreacts. Has the whole fleet out already even though it's barely coming down and the roads are still warm enough that it's melting on contact.

1/12/2012 10:43:00 AM

I was working outside at 0830, raking the last of the leaves against my fences. At 0930, the snow was already coming down steadily. At 1030, my yard and tree branches were covered, the street was slick and the sidewalks were becoming difficult.

The trucks SHOULD have been out by then. The salt SHOULD have been ready by then. The crews SHOULD have been in place by then.

Maybe you forget there's a learning curve, every first real snow of the season. Drivers forget how to drive in the stuff. People forget to wear appropriate footwear. Those in a hurry don't allow enough time to get there.

I'm no fan of his and you can bash him all you want, on general principle, but when it snows, the equipment is SUPPOSED to be in place. Why bitch because it actually IS IN PLACE, for a change?

They chose not to endorse her; fine. Now the pac feels the need to come here and bash Sandi.

It's not an easy thing to run for office; so stop bashing a fellow officer for trying to help. Nobody says you have to vote for her, but to tear her up here really makes no sense.

By the way, it's a blatant lie that Sandi wouldn't vote to fund our pensions; she has a pension to protect, her husband has a pension to protect, her brother has a pension to protect and her fellow officers have pensions to protect.

FOP (state and local) has the knowledge and resources to get any candidate ready to go to Springfield. That candidate wouldn't take office for over a year. Instead of seizing an opportunity, they turn their backs; then go on the attack.

To Just A City Worker.....

oboma, a demo-socialist/marxist/communist IS the "politician" in office who is spending other people's money..."re-distributing the wealth"..you know, the money YOU earned by the sweat of YOUR brow. He's a true believer...read communist Saul Alinsky's book, "Rules for Radicals...it lists the objectives of the Communist Party...you'll find all of oboma's anti-Constitution, anti-freedom laws that he's been responsible for since he entered office. oboma LIES about everything...another communist ploy to confuse and destroy the citizens of this country. Once again, read the book.

oboma does not "screw up." oboma does everything by design...read Alinsky's book and learn what is true about oboma, the domestic enemy in the White House.

oboma is our mortal enemy...he must be removed from office in the November election or we and our families will suffer under leftist rule as many of our relatives did in Europe in WWII and long after that.

oboma is the enemy on our soil. He has his boot on our necks and he will further destroy the Constitution, our freedoms and our liberty to the full extent as a socialist/communist/marxist, if he gets the chance. Vote him OUT in November, and elect a conservative or a Republican...ANYONE but oboma. Or you can kiss the Constitution, your freedom to choose, your freedom to be, and your culture and the ability to practice your religious beliefs good-by. Understand that you and your family will suffer. Remember the soldiers who have died in wars past so that you and I can be free...do not allow their sacrifices to have been for NOTHING.

Hello SCC, there is a rumor going around that a representative from legal affairs was at the refresher course for the G-8/Nato summit at Near North H.S. the other day. According to this rumor the representative from legal affairs allegedly told the class of tier 1 officers that they would not be allowed to carry their firearms or their O.C. spray on the front lines of the G-8/Nato summit in May. Again, this is a rumor ,but I was curious if you or any of your readers have any insight into this rumor.

This is a conflict of interest for Shields. How can he fight for a officer who is challenging the pension board? He does not excuse himself from voting on the pension board yet he represents officers who need help with the pension? You cannot do it both ways, Mikey.

Since this is a public forum, I think you miss the subtlety of the previous posters words. You and the original post should not be putting ANYTHING on a public blog about training for the G8 Summit, especially the location where numerous officers will be. How symbolic it would be for some stupid person wishing to make a name for themselves to blow the place up. You are a dummy. People like you should not be in law enforcement.
