G8 Protestors Salivating
- Chicago taxpayers will be shelling out more than $6 million to demonstrators and others arrested during an anti-war protest back in 2003.
City lawyers have agreed to settle a class-action lawsuit involving those arrests.
The $6.2 million settlement could have implications on how police handle protesters during the upcoming G8 and NATO summits in Chicago.
When a federal judge recent ridiculed what he saw as the "idiocy" of the city's policies on protests, it paved the wave for this settlement and changes to how police handle demonstrators.
We're sure that G-Mac will review who was in charge, who was giving illegal orders and demoting them immediately - or at least making sure they aren't in any position to run the G8 arrangements. Right? Right?? [::cricket chirping::]
Oh crap.
Oh crap.

Too late to demote...it was the idiot mauer who gave the order to lock up eight hundred people when it wasn't needed... Good riddence to that goof. Every other day bosses like risley, Malloy , Dugan and darling were running it and everything was smooth.. Mauer gets in charge of it one day and makes awful decisions and creates chaos...what else is new when u have an ego as big as he did
"Chicago taxpayers will be shelling out more than $6 million to demonstrators and others arrested during an anti-war protest back in 2003."
Why didn't Mayor Sharp Elbows just pop out of his office, state "That was yesterday," and shove right past 'em?
What a shame!!!
A protester will be better funded, equipped, and backed by real bosses.
Opposed to the under funded, under equipped SWORN POLICE OFFICER. Who are not appropriately backed by their spineless, so called, bosses.
If Ballerina (tiny dancer) side stepped the topic of this law suit and the city sticker fiasco, what do you think he'll due once a Sworn Officer is accused of wrong dying come May?!
Remember, buildings and other property are insured. Not, the officer sent to deal with this garbage.
Insure your family with wise decisions.
Do not obey an unlawful order given by an ego driven white shirt. Obey only lawful orders consistent with the Constitution!!!!!!
The G8/NATO is summit is coming and unlike the Olympics we didn’t have any say in the matter and the view from the street cops is not good.
We feel we have been lied to and are being led into a disaster. Our numbers have
dwindled, we are under trained, not reinforced and under equipped to confront a determined enemy bent on inflicting as much harm on us and the city as possible and then to escape into an anonymous fog or come back with lawyer to show that they need to get paid big bucks and we know that was their plan all along. To top that off the media will any video clip, any sound bite to make us look bad while we are held silent. Our political masters just don't care and have let the department deteriorate and will throw us to the wolves in May and afterwards because that where the votes and media bias will be.
Think about this. When Daley II wanted the Olympics, he spent lavishly on areas of the city the Olympic Committee would see while our neighborhoods deteriorated with
potholes and neglect. Then came the winter he would not salt the streets and we paid in crashed cars and blood. When it came to the CPD, Daley II cried, "We're broke!" Then citizens got angry, realized what a financial debacle the Olympics would be and protested. Maybe it made a difference or not but at least the Citizens and all CPD cops are citizens had a say in the matter.
Where did the citizens have to say in this G8/NATO business?
This is like New Orleans welcoming Hurricane Katrina.
Please view the following video. Subject : Hacker Criminal Group gearing up for G8/NATO Summit
http://abclocal.go.com/wls/video?id=8530878&syndicate=syndicate§ion=
It's from Chuck Gaudie, off course he says CPD websites haven't been hacked. Rahm wouldn't want him to say that because people, other that P.O.s might sue because their information might have been leaked because the CPD didn't take care to update it's systems. When you listen to the video you will hear that Anonymous plans to be here all of the month of May to cause havoc. You all know that they are already here and are well funded.
Stay Safe, we are in for bad time and all we have is each other.
THE WORD ID THIS:
We received our gas masks at Near North today this is what they told us:
2nd Watch crews from around the city will be deployed downtown and to other hotspots during the G-8/NATO and do 12 hour days.
1st and 3rd Watch crews will work the districts by doing 12 hour days.
The reason for this is probably because officers on days tend to be older and be less of a liability.
(until they get hurt and cost the city money.)
Again and again poor,and in the case of new regime EXTREMELY POOR MANAGEMENT!
If the city paid out $6 million just for this little protest just imagine the hundreds of millions we the taxpayers will be forking out after the May shit storm. The Racoon can use all that Speed Camera and Gun registration money to pay of the Anarchist. You can bet none of our cowardly bastard politicians will pay a dime.
Ok- 2nd watch? do those idiots realize that in most districts you've got most of watch just waiting for retirement? These guys are mostly a few days or years from finally pulling the pin and that's who you are sending in to combat 15-30 year old protesters? Really?
As I sit my retired ass on my balcony (pouring cold beer from a green bottle watching the sun set in Siesta Key),I pray for you guys and hope you can join me soon.
On a previous post I made a joke (small) that most of the people on this blog were members of "Anonymous". I'm retired and not a cop, but I have an interest in PCs from my previous occupation. I've followed some of the things Anonymous has done and they are very sophisticated. They also appear to be an leaderless, very clandestine organization that uses information to cause change. I'm afraid there will be violence at the G8/NATO, but I don't think it will be instigated by Occupy or Anonymous, they have much better tools.

This post is absolutely correct. That settlement was entirely due to Maurer.
Jimmy Maurer is in Acapulco downing numerous bottles of cerveza and cares less what the Rahmster does.
Dugan and darling were running it and everything was smooth.. Mauer gets in charge of it one day and makes awful
-----Dugan Lopez at least they were cops and leaders
Since everyone seems worried about the poor protesters rights, why not let them have the city?! Let them trash it!! This way, no one gets sued, police officers won't get hurt and no ones rights are violated ~ problem solved!
Check out the costs of the 2010 G8 in Toronto, $1 billion!!
Not to mention the areas of the city that were completely fenced off, public transportation that was shut down, schools closed, businesses disrupted, and traffic jams due to hwy closures for motorcades. Local retail(restaurants, hotels, shops)reported losses due to the disruption.
Chicago officials are living in Fantasy land.
Final cost for 2010 G8/G20 conference in Toronto: G8/G20 security bill to approach $1-billion
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/g8-g20/news/g8g20-security-bill-to-approach-1-billion/article1580865/
The event was part of the largest and most expensive security operation in Canadian history. The total cost for preparations,[7] including security, infrastructure, and hospitality, was determined to be approximately C$858 million.[8]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_G-20_Toronto_summit
According to the Toronto Star, at least 40 stores in the Downtown Yonge Business Improvement Area suffered damages and one repair firm performed up to $750,000 in repairs
$18 million figure for the Pittsburgh summit was merely for overtime pay for local police and the cost of law enforcement brought in from other regions.
The city will be paying a heavy price when they have to settle the federal lawsuit to the guy from the 18th dist . involving out of control whiteshirts at all levels $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Still plenty of room for demotions to 018.
Hillard's gone, Risley's dead, Maurer's a has been. This should have come out of their pockets.
If i'm downtown for the g8/nato, can I still get event numbers?
Kind of on topic........May (end of April) will be here before we all know it. WE ALL will be downtown at some time (many times)for the duration of the month of May (if you look at and pay credence) to the websites set up by the assholes.
It is up to all of us to be prepared, God knows our leaders don't know what the fuck to do. Work out, build up your stamina and leg and upper body strength. Prepare your family for what may happen. Have a go-bag ready.
Rahm and Garry don't give a fuck about anybody but themselves.
Les S--Still proud of this little prick nephew of yours?
Here's the Judge on the case per Russia Today, who is laughing at us.
It gives you perspective. He's part of the superior class that understands things better than you.
Harvard/University of Chicago....you get the picture.
The social fix is in.
Richard A. Posner was born on January 11, 1939, in New York City, and grew up in New York and its suburbs. He graduated from Yale College in 1959, summa cum laude, having been elected to Phi Beta Kappa in his junior year; he was an English major and a Scholar of the House. He graduated first in his class from Harvard Law School in 1962, magna cum laude, and was President of the Harvard Law Review. He worked for several years in Washington during the Kennedy and Johnson Administrations—as law clerk to Justice William J. Brennan, Jr., as an assistant to Commissioner Philip Elman of the Federal Trade Commission, as an assistant to the Solicitor General of the U.S., Thurgood Marshall, and as general counsel of President Johnson’s Task Force on Communications Policy.
Posner entered law teaching in 1968 at Stanford as an associate professor, and became professor of law at the University of Chicago Law School in 1969, where he remained (later as Lee and Brena Freeman Professor of Law) until his appointment to the Seventh Circuit in 1981. During this period Posner wrote a number of books (including Antitrust Law: An Economic Perspective, Economic Analysis of Law—now in its fifth edition—and The Economics of Justice) and many articles (a number of these in collaboration with the economist William Landes), mainly exploring the application of economics to a variety of legal subjects, including antitrust, public utility and common carrier regulation, torts, contracts, and procedure. He called for major reforms in antitrust policy, proposed and sought to test the theory that the common law is best explained as if the judges were trying to promote economic efficiency, urged wealth maximization as a goal of legal and social policy, contributed to the economic theory of regulation and legislation, and extended the economic analysis of law into fields new to such analysis, such as family law, primitive law, racial discrimination, jurisprudence, and privacy. He founded the Journal of Legal Studies, primarily to encourage economic analysis of law, and was a research associate of the National Bureau of Economic Research. He also engaged in private consulting and was from 1977 to 1981 the first president of Lexecon Inc., a firm made up of lawyers and economists that provides economic and legal research and support in antitrust, securities, and other litigation.
Posner became a Judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in December 1981; he was Chief Judge from 1993 to 2000. He continues to teach part time at the University of Chicago Law School
Whichever coppers get the short straw on having to man the protest. I hope that they don't commit professional and financial suicide by arresting protestors. For if you arrest even one of these people, -you have been warned via recent events and court rulings (even federal) - know that your life, and your family may be ruined by your action. Think twice, he'll maybe ten times before pulling out the cuffs. Let the city burn, it's insured.
I am part of the 99%. You can send me to the G-8 NATO protest and I will do nothing. If arrest are needed, I don't want any part of this. You can't rest an idea.
The first peice of whatever hits me. Down I go.
Let the Protesters have the city! As long as my house is safe!
If the Protesters come to my house, they may have a deadly matter to deal with and their "cause" won't mean shit to me!
Nuff Said!
Anonymous is a hive organization. Certain bees are real, the other bees are operators causing the problem we will face. As a CPD officer you know not to believe anything.
The city set a precedence today, that when protestors and anarchists break the law in the future, let them.
Who were the plaintiff's attys?? Did they go to Depaul Law like Daley did? Or was it an alderman's child? Feds?
fuck this Commie-Run City...
I'm purchasing Aflac insurance, as soon as I get touched I'm going down and on the medical for six months. Aaaaaaaaflaaaaaac !

OK so your 2nd watch will go to the fun events.
So who is going to relieve that crew? They going to work 24 hrs straight daily? When do they get to rest? I don't think these protests have a set ending time daily.
Or do you say "sorry protestors, these officers are tired. timeout!!"
What? you didn't hear? Every resident of Chicago will ge a $100,000.00 and a time share in Hawaii after the G-ATE RIOTS!
(that's a hundred thou drop in you property value and a time share for a 99 er that gets dissed )
As I sit my retired ass on my balcony (pouring cold beer from a green bottle watching the sun set in Siesta Key),I pray for you guys and hope you can join me soon
siesta key?? rock on! I usually do Siesta and Lido key every winter for a week or two. Great places. enjoy your retirement.. Only 9 years left for me.
Risley and Molloy were two of the dumbest jagoff bosses on this job. They are both responsible for many of the retarded meritorious bosses we have now.
Is there anything in our rules and regs that stop us from joining the protestors when off duty? I'm mad at corporate greed too. Maybe I could get in on the lawsuit that the NEXT mayor will settle 8 or 10 years down the line. I'd just have to play it cool until I retire in 20 years or so...
I cannot understand how any money was awarded to these goofs. I was standing at Mich. Ave & Chicago as these assholes were being herded off LSD. We penned them in then stood around for at least two hours while some boss yelled on a bullhorn to them to leave or be arrested. I saw many who walked up to us and asked to pass. Where is it that they were not given an option to disperse.We stood by for at least two hours. I should sue for being held against my will!
(Reuters) - Greece's largest police union has threatened to issue arrest warrants for officials from the country's European Union and International Monetary Fund lenders for demanding deeply unpopular austerity measures.
In a letter obtained by Reuters Friday, the Federation of Greek Police accused the officials of "...blackmail, covertly abolishing or eroding democracy and national sovereignty" and said one target of its warrants would be the IMF's top official for Greece, Poul Thomsen.

Met Life called me asking if I want to UP my life insurance policy.....DAMN RIGHT I DID!!!

Mauer thought he was the Patton of the police department. He would wear his command officers top coar, stick a cigar in his mouth and walk his white bulldog. Yes, an egotist and a goof.
