Seriously?
A woman out walking her pet had the unfortunate experience of her dog being attacked and killed by a man and his pit bull. The man left after the attack and has been the subject of a number of webpage searches and pleas for information with a photograph taken as he left the scene.
WGN reported tonight that the dog is owned by a Chicago Police Officer and he has been cited for leaving the scene of the attack without reporting the incident. He has also been stripped of his powers.
Seriously? It's a Animal Bite Card, maybe a Damage to Property report. A civil suit wouldn't be out of the question, but minimally involved. And now your career is on the line? Not to mention the beating the Department is going to take in the media and in the minds of citizens who are just going to see another asshole copper thinking they're above the law and, truth be told, common decency.
UPDATE: Here's the Tribune report:
Chicago police on Tuesday launched an internal investigation against an officer whose pitbull killed a small dog at the Montrose Beach dog park last month, the department said.
Its animal crimes team cited the officer, a five-year veteran, for failing to report that his dog bit another animal within 24 hours of the incident, which occurred March 17.
Willy, a 2 1/2-year-old Pomeranian-Papillon mix, died three days after he was attacked by the pitbull, according to WGN-Ch. 9's Web site. His owner now faces a veterinary bill of nearly $6,000.
The station reported that the pitbull's owner refused to give his information to Willy's immediately after the attack, but dozens of witnesses went to police with descriptions and pictures of him. Police had even handed out fliers with hopes that someone would recognize the pitbull's owner.
The police internal affairs division launched an investigation into the actions of the officer, who was off-duty during the incident, the department said. The officer has informed the department of his involvement in the incident, and has been relieved of his police powers pending the outcome of the investigation.

Off topic... Word from a friend in I.a.d who knows told me the next cpd scadel is about to come down the pipe.... Apparently several members of cpd are being looked at by the Feds for associating with the outlaw motorcycle club and other motorcycle gangs at social events. Feds were watching the outlaws and on several occasions found members of the American lawmen club hanging out with them. The American lawmen are mostly members of the cpd. The Feds then notified the dept of this and the ball is rolling on it already. Look for many to be stripped in the near future for associating with known felons and gang members...

Speaking of stupid stuff off duty I read this in a previous post about swiping. For me its hard to believe.. I don't think the outlaws or any other real biker club would hang out with these dorks...
Rahm is looking to terminate police to meet his bottom line. This bullshit happens in the ghetto every fkn day and nobody complains! Suspended for an ANOV?
I'm thinking that if the individual with the pit bull does the right thing when the incident happened, it is a non-issue. If he took responsibility for his pet's action, left his information, and worked something out with the injured pet's owner, this is a non-issue. However, regardless of the responsible owner's occupation, walking away and hiding is irresponsible and, with a $6000 vet bill, pretty much a criminal offense.
If you ran into a car and caused $6000 of damage and drove off, what would you be charged with if you were later found?
Should this guy lose his badge? I don't know. But it certainly calls into question his judgement and integrity.
"It's a Animal Bite Card, maybe a Damage to Property report."
Yeah, maybe if he hadn't gone slinking away, it would have been.
Failure to control what he knew was a dangerous animal, failure to accept responsibility for his actions. Supposed to know better. Supposed to act to a higher standard.
Caused the Dept. a big public embarassment. They're not gonna like that.
There it is.
Sorry, I love you SCC, and read you every day, and have done for a number of years now. And that's pretty much the first thing I try to bring up if/when I have to have a conversation with CPD on the street.
But if you're attempting to defend an officer for what went down at the dog beach, no matter how wussy the dog breed was that got killed, then I'm just gonna hafta give you a big hearty F.U. for tonight.
Go Hawks, and grow a heart for smaller animals.
pitbull equal ghetto.
What a jag off! I hope u enjoy the unemployment line.
It was more than webpage searches.
The Sun Times covered it with a photograph of the sunglasses wearing putz and his dog on April 5th.

Here's their interview with the dog owner that just went online.

It will be interesting to see how long the department knew this and how they found out.
Some of the stories make it sound like he came forward and told the story to the department. If true, I suspect it was after he saw his sexy legs and dog all over the internet.
If he had any decency he would resign. I won't be holding my breath.
Wasn't his mug in the news? Looked like pancakes.
Ahhh... Another 5 year on the job Hair Gel strikes again.
How much you wanna bet it's some idiot copper that found the dog in the ghetto district he works in and 'rescued' it? Probably named the fucker "Fillmore", "Austin" or "Gresham".
File this one under "too much college, not enough high school". There's a serious absence of common sense going on on this job for the last several years.
Either way, it's another black eye we don't need right now. Thanks for nothing, Jackass.
All it takes is one to create the stereotype.
It's not your grandpa's media anymore either. On-line citizens videos are not influenced with political campaign advertising dollars that tend to censor the truth and hide the embarrassments.
Years from now some kids, our kids, will be looking at our legacy on line. Let's hope it's something that we can be proud of and not something that we try to push the blame onto someone else -- like by using the "I was just doing my job, and following orders"

Good fuck him! This jagoff brings a vicious animal to a dog friendly place and it kills another dog causing trama to the owner and the others watching and then he splits like a coward? I love these big tough guy coppers that get pitbulls just like the thugs, so they can look tough too. Whenever I see a copper with a pitbull they always walk around like they are big and tough and it makes me wonder about their mental capacity. These dogs are nothing but a danger to the public and this guy deserves whatever he gets from the department. Another person that should not be the police.
Well it has been awhile since Abbate and Callahan were in the news. With Finigan now locked up and writting stories. And the Koschman/Venenko mess still on the back burner. Who will be the next DUI news maker from our great Department?
It was about time for one of us to be stupid and get dragged back infront of the media! Over what a dog attack!
You new Department members should never forget these names and their past actions.
And you wonder why some members admit they are ashamed of being a Chicago Police Officer.
Stupid fuck.
WOW.... what an idiot!!!!!! this guy is a dip shit, and i am not sticking up for him, but these are city charges, anovs, class c misd arrest at the most???-how his he gonna get fired? (Iam sure he will be back on the street in know time.... sure he has clout if he got hired in the first place)
"...another asshole copper..."
You said it all right there.
rb
Do the right thing! No, and the shit falls on your head. Seriously, another idiot gets in a jam.
I wonder how many officers will be stripped after nato when mr and mrs liberal beef that the police were mean to them and didn't give them a tofu sandwich when they were in the lockup---
And this City expects The Police give our all for the Mayor and the NATO summit HE invited. How many Police will be stripped amid liberal allegations of Police misconduct during Rahms event. All you dummies that think your gonna crack skulls better get ready for your deposition after said stupidity...STAND DOWN!
"5 year veteran"? Really? What does 10 years get you? Methuselah status?
Dear Media,
5 years is not a veteran. 5 years and he can finally wipe his ass without asking a Sergeant how to do it. But "Veteran"? Geeze your standards are low.
The Uptown Update blog has linked to this post:
http://www.uptownupdate.com/2012/04/dog-owner-identified-in-montrose-dog.html
All this does is solidify MANY beliefs that City Controlled Media is out of control. Why not speak of the 50 Alderman Mayor RAHM still has on the payroll OR how he invited certain disaster being the NATO summit to a City unable to cope with its own record breaking crime under RAHMs watch. Liberal Media will be the undoing of this City in MAY when the people will be heard to include many family and friends of the Police. Love my country, hate the politics...
Anyone qualifying at the range in the next week, if the CPD is still attempting to qualify you at anything other than specified at previous qualifications it is understandable that you may fail due to this dangerous act (not reasonable) all three attempts. Let the City counsel you and strip you as this is not correct CPD protocol and a danger to you and fellow members of CPD. A lawsuit may be filed against the City for said dangerous, and malicious acts knowingly placing CPD members in harms way.
what a coward this p.o.s. is . no man runs and hides during a serious situation like this p***y did. he'll get his.
fire him, no one is above the law
How dumb can this guy be. Walk away, knowing all your lake front liberals are taking pictures of you and the dog. This could have all been resolved , but now Rham n Mc Shoveitupurass gonna get him with da olde rule , bringing shame and discredit too the department... Caught on tape. Good luck, this won't have a good ending .... Another CUT BACK, money saved...BE CAREFUL!!!!'nmmmmm..
If you don't own a dog or like dogs you won't understand. The officer was an asshole.
Sounds like someone that Ladner and company loves to hire, you know, so we can have diversity-not decency- in the Department.
Seriously, this is one we can say you should know better. Stupid
Good fu&k him!! from a fellow police officer
douchebag walking around with a pit bull.....
who doesn't despise these morons when you see them
what if it was a toddler that got attacked
this dum-dum doesn't need to be walking around with a gun. we have enough problems
The guys job should not be on line but in every city department there is a rule regarding employee behaviour on or off the job.
being a cop and knowing people were taking pictures and video taping him ....he should've just handed over his info
Now cause of media blitz his investment of maybe $4,000 into a dog might cost him his job.
FLOP what about the Gold Star with the Gun stolen? Is SHe Still A Commander?????
Fact: This cop committed a crime.
Fact: When SOME cops commit crimes they have to go stripped for a while, no big deal.
So, what's yer beef then?
Fact: The PO committed a crime.
Fact: Some PO's get stripped because they are being investigated for committing a crime.
Fact: He knew via media reports the other dog was dead and STAYED SILENT.
NW Side police station evacuated after cylinder found outside
A disgruntled ex-Desk Sgt now assigned to street duties??
You nailed it on the head: "In the minds of citizens who are just going to see another asshole copper thinking they're above the law and, truth be told, common decency."
Is there any other way to interpret the copper's behavior?
Scc, this jerk deserves to stripped!!!! He is a disgrace and embarassment to the Chicago Police Department and its members. He has no integrity an does not deserve the honor to wear the badge I wear.
The asshole (I won't even call him a police officer) has threatened multiple in the past and threatened multiple on the day his dog killed a dog that didn't even weigh 10 pounds.
I as a Chicago Police Officer want respect from the public I try to protect and serve. How can I expect anything from the public when one of my supposed own is a coward who doesn't take responsibility for his dog's actions and his own after the fact????? Had this been dudes dog, police officers would be screaming about pit bulls and the shitbirds who own them.
We can't have it both ways. A nice 60 day suspension and a criminal charges are in order, nothing less.
Before I even knew he was a cop I thought, "What an asshole" about the way he handled things, wouldn't talk and just left. Now that I know he's a cop I still think he's an asshole. And I hope other cops think he's an asshole too and won't just close ranks around him because he's a fellow officer.
The Rat Squad will do another outstanding job. Whatever they can't find, they can make it up like they are known to do. Big Investigation, right up their alley.
Him owning a pitbull says it all.
Fucking jackass.
yeah, seriously.
Dog owners are a group you don't want to be be on the wrong side of.
Seriously?
If some asshole's dog attacked my dog, there would be...trouble. That's all I'm going to say about it.

There's video of this guy walking away and tling people to get out of his face. I'm CPD and I hope the victim sues him and the city. I'd sue the f*ck out of this guy.

That's some kind of joke, right? The guy is supposed to be a Chicago Police Officer - you know, serve and protect, yada yada yada, all that crap? People don't complain about this crap in Englewood because nobody expects those animals to act like civilized humans. If you think a cops' actions, on or off duty, are justifiable because they're no better than you're average thug, then don't get upset when people don't give the police any more respect than they would your average street gang. It's a two-way street, respect is earned, not given.
I hope they throw the book at this guy, if he's not capable of living up to the ideals set by the citizens of Chicago (who pay his salary, mind you) for what we expect from our police officers, well, then I'm sure Target could use another fake copy guarding the door for all the soccer moms.
To the unpublished "Mike Walsh"
Since you decided to put "quote marks" around something we didn't say in an effort to make us look bad, a big fuck you to you, too.
Did you even bother to read the last paragraph we wrote about having the common decency to stand by and be responsible for the situation?
And our rip on the idiot for not sticking around and doing the appropriate reports and now he's looking at losing his job over a dog attack?
And the word "unfortunate" is appropriate for the situation at hand. "Tragedy" is overused and overwrought and sounds too dramatic.
Moron.
To all those who think SCC is defending this dumbass, re-read the damn article. They're saying that if he stuck around after the incident like a man with some integrity, if he exchanged information with the victim dog's owner and made arrangements to pay for the damage his dog caused and filed the required reports (bite card, CDP report) that would have been the end of the incident.
Instead he ran away, got his picture all over the paper and had to get dimed out like a common shitbird.
Those who say he was "suspended for an ANOV" aren't seeing the whole situation. He shirked his responsibilities as a dog owner, he acted like the law doesn't apply to him and he didn't come forward when he was supposed to. He was suspended for his lack of integrity and making poor decisions by running away from his responsibility, not for "an ANOV."
Are we infected with blind ignoramuses today?
To the unpublished Cop owner of 4 dogs:
We never said the cop should have fled the scene. We never said he shouldn't take responsibility. We never made light of the situation.
Where are you reading challenged people coming up with this shit?
You probably all supported the cougar that was roaming around the north side a few years ago, didn't you?
Two things;
1. Why the fuck does anyone, but especially a p.o., have a pitbull to begin with? These animals are bred to be ruthless killers and you fucking know it. Anna Cieslewicz, remember that tragedy? Google it asshole.
2. $6000 vet bill? Are you kidding me? Next you'll want Obummercare to cover it. Its a dog, a pet. And it died 3 days later. The vet couldn't take one look and know it was a goner? You must be stupid, stupid, stupid.
did that coppers dog have a dog license , he's gone
no 10 year step raise for him
"It's a Animal Bite Card, maybe a Damage to Property report."
If he had stayed on scene and owned up to it, it would've been just that. Stupid is as stupid does.
Pitbull = Ghetto
Dumb! Dumb! Dumb! To get fired over a dog!
That was Rahm's pet cougar.
While I don't hold CPD responsible for his actions, I thought then and now “what a jerk” and hope he faces all that is coming to him—whatever that is.
We were discussing this and the Secret Service in Columbia. Don’t people realize there’ll be far reaching consequences for their actions? Paying $6,000 in vet bills and apologizing is far better than what the officer is facing now. Paying a prostitute $50 (from what I’ve heard) is a hell of a lot better than causing a national uproar.
And for all of you who think it’s all right to kill a toy-size dog, may it “rain on your parade” forever. How's that for using no profanity?
A pit bull mix, dobe and a papillon owner.
To the people that say this should just be an ANOV and animal bite card you are right, if he stayed on scene. The fact is he fled and didn't plan on getting caught if it wasn't for the photos of him with his dog and all the angry wittnesses. He thought he made good on his escape and probably knew the shitbag dog was dangerous. He is the police and knew what he did was wrong and that is the issue here.
To the people that always say "it's not the breed it's the owners." Well how come we never hear of Labs, Golden's, Spanials, Great Dames, etc. etc. doing the things we hear Pitbulls do nearly once a week across America?

DOG ASS !!!
Off topic... Word from a friend in I.a.d who knows told me the next cpd scadel is about to come down the pipe.... Apparently several members of cpd are being looked at by the Feds for associating with the outlaw motorcycle club and other motorcycle gangs at social events. Feds were watching the outlaws and on several occasions found members of the American lawmen club hanging out with them. The American lawmen are mostly members of the cpd. The Feds then notified the dept of this and the ball is rolling on it already. Look for many to be stripped in the near future for associating with known felons and gang members...
**************************
false. It was a rumor at first going around but ive just confirmed that it was only a rumor and I have confirmed now that its NOT TRUE. So, no need to freak.. its only rumor. How it started nobody will ever know.
Not to pick nits, SCC, but I also read your post as something of a defense of the p.o.
Having read your comments, it's apparent that your "Seriously?" was directed at the idiot p.o. rather than at the Department.
I think if that last paragraph that starts with "Seriously?" had been more clearly directed to the p.o., people wouldn't have reacted the way they did. The third sentence is clearly directed to the p.o., but if you read that with a tone of being critical about the department, that sentence sounds incredulous that the Department would put someone's career on the line for the dog attack.
I think a slight modification to the sentence would solve the problem.
Seriously? If the p.o. sticks around and deals with it, it's a Animal Bite Card, maybe a Damage to Property report. A civil suit wouldn't be out of the question, but the Department would be minimally involved, if at all.
Then the rest of the paragraph makes sense and everyone can take a deep breath.
An "I'm sorry" and a "let me help" and no one ever hears of this. Those two lines will solve most problems.
From an insider-the po is facing 30 pending. Word is he will be fired......something for everyone to think about.

Wow. You're an idiot AND a pussy. I'll bet it takes you at least twice to pass that bullshit state qualification to begin with since you already know you get three chances. The only thing placing CPD members in harms way is your incompetent dumb ass.
I can't wait for the first dummy to post"IT'S NOT THE BREED,IT'S THE BREEDER!".Guess what,I've had to kill 2 pitbulls in the last 3 years that were loose and attacking in my neighborhood.Since we can't ban retarded dog owners(like this PO),I don't have a problem with a pitbull ban.

Hmmm.. Maybe the dogs CPD collar, his dumbass owner got from FOP shop, gave him away

A guy across the street from me is affiliated with the Outlaws.He's invited me over to their local clubhouse for a beer,to go on rides.I've always declined.I finally had to ask him"You know I'm the police,right?"He laughed and gave me the name of a member who I recognized from the job.I'd lost track of where this guy was.Asked around and it turns out he's a Sgt in IAD!!This was a couple of years ago.I won't mention his name,in fact I never told anyone on the job about it.Hate to see anyone lose a job over stupid BS.
"Another 5 year hair gel"? How about the rogain morons who after roll call sit all day at the desk and do nothing but but complain about everything. "Kid this dept. went in the toilet when they got rid of our maglights." Whatever.
I keep an alligator in my basement cause the chicks dig it.
Cop with a pitbull? Another ghetto man now cop?
Cop or No Cop, the guy was an asshole for not controlling his dog! Than he leaves the scene, guys like this give Good Cops a Bad Name !
You probably all supported the cougar that was roaming around the north side a few years ago, didn't you?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
No one comes to the cougar support meetings anymore. All the donuts are going to waste. It's kind of disheartening.
I don't see what his job has to do with any of this? Why his is stripped of his police powers is beyond me? Not saying he's right or wrong, but his occupation has nothing to do with this incident. And don't give me we must lead an exemplary life......if they want to go after him civilially as one citizen to another, no problem, but give me a break.

Yes, the original poster is an ass clown trying to stir the pot. No such thing has happened.
That dog should be put down.
I'm undecided as to what to do with the pit bull.
It's a dog beach and a dog bit another dog which died three days later...ALL dogs bite even little ones. The problem arises when anyone leaves the scene without giving required information and that's it, nothing premeditated here just a dummy who used poor judgement which ALL people do like Barack. "If I had a dog I'm sure my unborn dog would look like this dog"...sorry Barack had to steal your line.
Geez, why run from your responsibility ?
Had he been a respectable citizen in the first place and paid for the unfortunate accidental incident, this "scandal" could have been avoided.
Wouldn't it be prudent to know just how social your pet is before setting it free amongst others? But then there's the unpredictable nature of the beast that throws that argument out. Tack on 30days to that civil liability litigation.
Hope this meatball wasn't an FTO.

Shut up, Andy.
CHICAGO (AP) - The Illinois National Guard will transport foreign leaders around Chicago during next
month's NATO summit. As many as 600 guardsmen will be in Chicago as part of teams moving NATO
delegations between venues. They'll also perform ceremonial tasks related to the meetings.
Of course they will. Quinn hates the police and will do anything for his military
Yeah, here we are, and it's a pit bull again.
I love animals, had them for years, but today's crop of dangerous dogs, including the pit bulls, is something else entirely that really gives me pause.
You can call it a "pittie" and "rescue" it and have it all groomed and put sunglasses and a bandanna on it, but it is still the end product of many generations of deliberate selection and breeding to make a savage fighter.
The last five minutes doesn't make much difference.
There have been many, many cases of sudden "reversion to type," in which an attack occurs. Little kids get killed. One poor elderly man jogging by Rainbow Beach had his leg torn off.
I see an awful lot of dog-on-dog challenges, snarling, lunging, even in Oak Park, where housewives have these things and can hardly control them even with a spiked choke chain.
Me, I think that there are better, safer choices, dogs with a more stable and reliable temperament.
My two cents.
Dear SCC,
Your blog is great; it keeps us abreast of what is going on in the department. But as to the challenged people, the department really needs to implement IQ tests. Why should the department award jobs to people who are not qualified to clean toilets? (And to do so is just a form of welfare.)I have a problem with this because I have to work with these individuals.
Holy shit! How did Abbate get re-hired? Has it really been five years already?
You are truly a piece of crap for hiding like a coward and not reporting this incident. Thanks dumb-ass, for placing another blackeye on Chicago police officers.
downright cocky idiot , seriously.. nothing can be done now...
Attention 019 officers! this is off the topic but should be put out there. Over the weekend i attempted to take time due. I was denied with an explanation that there were already 10 officers off on Saturday. I was told by the XO that this was nothing and that in the near future time due will be limited to 5 officers a day. I was amazed seeing as though there are 20 and yes i wrote 20 officers assigned to the 019 front office who work straight days and weekends off. On top of that, the 019 tac team has three secretaries. So with this consolidation of 019 and 023 we actually have more officers working inside and not on the streets. Again with all of those officers having EVERY weekend off. In addition, there is a traffic car assigned to the 3rd watch that starts at 1100 hrs and he too has weekends off. Isnt that start time a violation of the union contract? That officer should be on days. Where are the TWO FOP unit reps assigned to 019. That's right, they are both quiet as can be!
Funny how the liberals and "media" make so much of this one animal killing another YET the animals that have been killing each other,unfortunately some innocent people, in the predominately African American communities are forgotten...fuck you RAHM.

Many news websites are now giving a certain amount of content for free and then you have to pay. To them I too say bye-bye. I can get news for free anywhere on the internet. The Sun Times, New York Times, etc. are nothing special.
I am sick and tired of cops like this one who do stupid things and think they are above the law! He gets everything that is coming to his sorry ass. Fire him and heck even charge him with something. When will some of us get it?
I live in a cop neighborhood and you should just see how some of them fucking drive. Several cops just go right though a stop sign. They don't stop, they go right through and at about 40 m.p.h. on a residential street. Sometimes I wonder, what is the matter with some of us?
i read the article in full and i understood it. can i get a praise scc haha? i don't want to be on your shit list. damn, you shat all over that "hearty f.u." post! haha good ol' fashion rippin' is all. i love it. i start my mornings off by reading your blog and now i have my good laugh for the day, thanks.
Not to defend some goof walking away from the damage his dog did, but this is why I think it's a bad idea to bring teacup squirrel-sized dogs to dog parks/beaches where big dogs are.
It's like letting a 5 year old kid play tackle football with strange 15 year olds.
You wonder why we have pension problems? Deals like this:
http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/breaking/chi-city-refinances-91m-loan-on-michael-reese-site-20120418,0,1995282.story
The City adjusts the loan deal that they have for the Reese Hospital site they bought. The interest on the loan payments are now tax exempt for the loan company.
So basically the City pats itself on the back saying they are saving 14 million dollars on restructuring the deal but are really fucking the tax payers because that is loads of tax payments that the loan company would have to pay on the profit they are earning on the interest of the loan.
Fuck the everyday working man!
This guy is a complete idiot. First, pit bulls are unpredictable and you never know when they're going to snap.
Second, if you don't have control of your animal then you shouldn't take it to the dog park.
Third, when your dog does do something stupid then man the fuck up and take responsibilty for it.
I guess it's true when they say your pets take on your personality because this dog learned to be asshole from his owner.
I hear your frustration SCC. I have to read the reports these idiots write.
"reading challenged"? Mentally challenged is more accurate.
You can actually track the degration of the school system by reading reports from the last 3-4 decades. The steady decline in the quality of the reports mirrors the decline of the educational system.
Pick up some old homicide files from 30 years ago and compare those reports to todays reports.
Look at a teens facebook messages, emails or phone texts and get a glimpse of reports in the not to distant future.
With all due respect, SCC, your last paragraph "Seriously? It's a Animal Bite Card, maybe a Damage to Property report. A civil suit wouldn't be out of the question, but minimally involved..." sounds as if you're questioning going AFTER the pitbull owner, not question the intelligence OF the pitbull owner.
It's ambigious, at best, and I can see how some folks could have misinterpreted that at first read.
If I read it correctly, you're asking why the PBO would not own up, file the report, do the right thing, etc, when walking away has much more serious consequences.
SCC - You ask why people think you were somehow defending the officer in question. I would like to point you to these statements:
"He has also been stripped of his powers.
Seriously? It's a Animal Bite Card, maybe a Damage to Property report. A civil suit wouldn't be out of the question, but minimally involved. And now your career is on the line?"
Your use of "Seriously?" reads as a direct response of disbelief that the officer was stripped of his police powers. The way this is written, the 2nd paragraph starting with "Seriously?" conveys that you do not believe that the officer should have been stripped of his police powers. All statements that follow in that paragraph, seemingly minimalize the animal attack offense -> "It's an Animal Bite card, maybe a Damage to Property Report."
People get punished far more severely for animal cruelty scenarios, but the implication of that second statement above is that at best, this is just worthy of a few lines on a report. THAT is why you are seeing the reaction that you are seeing. It is not relevant that you made additional statements of clarification... most will read that and emotionally disregard the remainder of your post.
Where's my new replacement helmet shield? Where's my new XL State Police issue baton? Where's my new gask mask? Where's my new gas mask filter? Where's my riot shield? Where's our training on the do's and dont's of protestors with permits? Where's the info on what businesses are going to be supplying officers with the simple things like: secured bathrooms inside bldgs. Porta a Johns arent going to work for men/women going #2 or for female officers simply going #1. no room in a porta john for all your equipment removal and placement while taking care of business. I'll bet the bafoons in charge didn't think about that. Food and water issue? Exhaustion and Fatigue going to play a roll. I'm only asking because May 1st is only 12 days away and all. Nothing like wating until the last minute.
The copper was an asshat and probably a hairgel. Way to go, making the entire CPD look bad because of this stupid shit.
i was once attacked by a gerbil...
Unfortunate is if that happens to a stranger. tragedy is if it happens to your dog, especially if you're a kid. a sudden slaughter of a dog in front of your eyes, what would you call it?
Can we outlaw known gang members from receiving state and federal funding assistance? Gangs are well known for their criminal activities. Members should not receive any assistance from any government agency. They associate with known felons all the time, sometimes it is their own family members. They should not be able to hold any government job as well. Children of known gang members should also be taken away and any assistance should be halted for that parent for the child.
*Rahm is looking to terminate police to meet his bottom line. This bullshit happens in the ghetto every fkn day and nobody complains! Suspended for an ANOV?***
Hey new guy, it's called 'Conduct Unbecoming"
You better learn the orders kid, you will be sitting right next to the guy at 311 with your '30 day pending' slip
Random thought of the day:
Anyone that owns a pitbull is ghetto trash, an idiot, or a total goof.
That is all, carry on.
Easy, SCC. Don't let the "reading challenged" get you so much. Real common now. You say one thing, they pretend you said something else and proceed from there. It's every day.
You clearly stood up for "common decency" - as you put it -- here. It wasn't right for the guy to walk away when he could have made it good. Now there is a bigger mess. There it is.
coming home one nite after working 3rd watch a big dopey black lab ran out betwen parked cars on 99th st and i whacked him and it ran off yelpeing, i parked my car with flashers on and searched for him as i still heard him crying, not ashamed to say that a few tears were shed as i went around with a flash light shearching for the big dope, never found him but the unpleasant memory stays with me to this day and that was 16 years ago,,,,,,
Real police officers don't behave the way this clown did. Real police officers can easily rise above, take the high road, and do the right thing that society would expect. Right? Or, has that old honor code changed recently when I wasn't looking?
To the following post
Good fuck him! This jagoff brings a vicious animal to a dog friendly place and it kills another dog causing trama to the owner and the others watching and then he splits like a coward? I love these big tough guy coppers that get pitbulls just like the thugs, so they can look tough too. Whenever I see a copper with a pitbull they always walk around like they are big and tough and it makes me wonder about their mental capacity. These dogs are nothing but a danger to the public and this guy deserves whatever he gets from the department. Another person that should not be the police.
Well it's obvious your not that bright. I have a pit bull, my entire family has them And we have had them for many years and pits are great dogs. It's the owner, you need to treat them right, and give them training, and finally associate them with other dogs and this would never of happened. To many people think you can take a dog, doesn't matter what kind and put them in a group of other dogs without them being around other dogs and wonder why something happened. You ever see the little dog that is mean and bites and barks at larger dogs? It's the samething only difference is pits are strong dogs and when the do bite another dog it's not pretty. I'm trying to get across that you put cops who own pits in a category with thugs. Let me ask you, do you like being put into a category as a dirty cop? I would guess no, but shallow people make statements that are very broad that make no sense, just like your post. Also, I'm a caucasian officer so don't try any of your racial, shallow jokes because my entire family owns pits!
"...the pitbull's owner refused to give his information to Willy's immediately after the attack, but dozens of witnesses went to police with descriptions and pictures of him."
I feel obliged to observe --
But when there's a racial beatdown or huge disturbance, a lot of people pretend they didn't see it...the media often won't even broadcast an accurate description of a wanted offender. "Uh -- go to our web site..."

I used to see other CPD with colors on at the bars, around the beer barrel at the picnics...
I know many were good guys who meant no wrong. I understand a bike, I understand a beer, I understand a party...but at the same time this is not what you call a comfortable situation to watch, the good melding into the bad. It is not a place I'd think I should go.
Hard to be part of it, but above it. Where is the line, when it moves around like that...
I am confused enough as it is. >grin<
Watch where you step, might be something nasty there. Stay safe.
SCC, I think what people are getting at your is your effort to downplay the situation. You don't directly defend the guy, but neither do you take into account the manner in which he escalated the crime by slinking away and taking no responsibility.
Speed camera are voted in! Yes Mary O'Connor Ald for NW side 41st ward voted infavor of it.
Does this guy deserve to be stripped and possibly lose his job? Probably not. What consequences would a citizen face if they did the same thing?
On the other hand this copper definitely knew better and shouldn 't have slinked off into the sunset. If he would've stuck around and taken responsibility for his dogs actions then he wouldn't find himself in this predicament.
Wow, this is all it takes to get a whole department to trash you? I'm so sick of online talk of "5 year hair gels.". Get off your high horse. I respect senior officers but the ones that say stupid shit like the above are the same dogs and entitled strokes who think young guys need to roll out the red carpet for them. Again, luckily your the minority, as I like most POs with a lot of time on. Second, it is not a hit and run on a park car to the genius commenting above. I'm sure you worked 15+ years so you'd know that a 99b is different than cdtp. Wtf to the post of coppers rescuing pits in the hood to "act tough?". Why would they rescue and not buy healthier looking ones? I know plenty of coppers that have rescued dogs, they tend to be compassionate. How are you privy to their demeanor when they walk their dogs-stalker? No one of you were there, this lady could have been hysterical and telling him to fuck off, get away, etc. you werent there is he bottom line. Maybe he was wrong, maybe not. However, all above considered, who needs McCarthy and Rahm when you have "brothers" like the ones posting on here- sad
Don't judge the breed judge the owner. I have two pitbulls and they are the biggest pussies I have ever seen. They sleep with my kids and me and my wife. They love people and other dogs. They actually run away from little dogs at the dog parks. And what does time on the job have to do with having pitbulls. I'm almost ready to retire and I have had 4 pitbulls in my 28 years on this job, does that make me a hair gel??
Hell yeah I love cougars! Women aged like a fine wine..... :)

Anyone qualifying at the range in the next week, if the CPD is still attempting to qualify you at anything other than specified at previous qualifications it is understandable that you may fail due to this dangerous act (not reasonable) all three attempts. Let the City counsel you and strip you as this is not correct CPD protocol and a danger to you and fellow members of CPD. A lawsuit may be filed against the City for said dangerous, and malicious acts knowingly placing CPD members in harms way.

Woof!! Woof!!!
This member of the CPD has got to go. If he hadn't acted the way he did and let this matter slide for a month, and instead had done the right thing immediately by identifying himself and taking care of the financial aspect of this tragedy, then I could see him staying. His total lack of character shows he has no business being a Chicago officer and on a payroll that I help fund. Fuck the douche bag, there are more qualified individuals waiting for a chance to serve this city.

That night DAD noticed damage to side of my vehicle and GRILLED me. I coughed up the truth, he drove US over there, HE knocks on door and tells them his dumb azz son hit their tree. They let it go, they heard the hit and worried I was hurt.
LIFE LESSON LEARNED > FACE RESPONSIBILITY for my screw ups, straight UP & TRUTHFULLY ! In the long run, it always works out BEST. Sure ain't rocket science, JUST the RIGHT way to live.
Since when are pit bulls dangerous? They are no different than any other breed of dog. If they are treated well, they are good dogs, if they're mistreated, they are bad dogs.

I have always been against " PIT BULLS " It is a waste of animal & 99 % are "NO" good . Sooner or later they will hurt someone or something . If you want a "GOOD" dog buy a Lab or any other breed that does not attack there onwers kids or other dogs . Everyday you hear about an attack by a Pit . There a TERRIBLE Breed & to all you Pit Bull owners I'm sorry that you have one but they sould all be put down .
Idiot, you know people see who you are and you run and try to hide over stupidity and in turn embarrass the dept. 5 yr wonder,? too bad now its time to pay the piper.
Majority of us have too much time invested to let a new guy disgrace us. No pity here
He owned a dog he didn't understand. Big dogs think little dogs are treats. Keep them away from each other. Dog parks are not for socially impaired dogs that want to eat smaller dogs.
Guilty. Reading too early in AM, unable to process information accurately, ergo: blind ignoramus. My deepest apologies, and please stay safe 'out there'.
Some people in places like Indonesia kill and eat dogs.
SCC,
I agree. You didn't defend the idiot dog owner.
That guy ain't a man! He doesn't deserve to be the police anyway!
That punk couldn't even hold my jockstrap!
Ok he messed up,but how easy is it to get fired on this job? What is learned from a mistake is immeasurable and permanent but to firing him I think is too severe.Unlike the quarterback that was involved in pit bull fighting this incident seemed to be accidental,though leaving the scene of a bite and run is uncaring and maybe panicy,worthy of counselling and punishment,if he turned himself in,anyway,all judgement aside I'm sure he didn't set out to the park to attack a smaller dog and jeapordize his employment! And for all the dog loving folks,he should have control of his dog,properly leashed,maybe a pit bull should be muzzled,and certainly care enough about the injured dog to stick around and take some responsibility!
Coward bastard! If he's not man enough to come forward when it happened why would you trust that he's got your back on the street?
wow imagine if the citizen would work this hard with police to catch drug dealer or killer.lol
Asshole.

This "serial numbers on bullets" thing is only about 40 years old by now. Some anti must have put the idea up to them again like it was new. What do they know?
Bar-code the corner boys so there's a "beep" every time they walk past a tree or something. Maybe that'll help.

Most pit bulls are not unstable time bombs waiting to maul someone. I'm an officer and I've volunteered at an animal rescue for over 10 years. The breed is not inherently vicious, but they are very intelligent and immensely powerful for their size. Unfortunately, those characteristics make them valuable to dog fighters as well. Any animal can be made mean through abuse. Maligning an entire breed and the officers that rescue them only serves to fuel anti terrier hysteria and demonstrate your ignorance.
Unfortunate is if that happens to a stranger. tragedy is if it happens to your dog, especially if you're a kid. a sudden slaughter of a dog in front of your eyes, what would you call it?
Well since we don't know the owner, "unfortunate" is appropriate per your definition.
And you're "sudden slaughter" took three days to pass on to the afterlife. Nice grasp of the English language.
Thanks for be-clowning yourself.

Where in your pea sized brain did you think this one up? Smaller dogs not allowed at the doggie park? Next you will want a police officer there to measure the dogs. You probably think women who wear short skirts are just looking to be raped...as I said earlier....you are an idiot!
No commen sense. If you would have been honest about the whole thing, your ass would be in the clear, you would have been out some money, but you know what? That's your fault, for bringing a ghetto dog to yuppyville. Now you think your doin the right thing by trying to skate? Are you fucking stupid or something? There's a lot of things here that really don't add up to a logical thinking officer, you walk around with a pit bull in that area? Then you get tough with people wanting to know your info?

This cop should be held accountable. Any decent person would have helped stop this. Esp in front of children. But this dickhead cop didn't and he is going down. And it puts CPD in a really bad light bc there are LOTS of animal lovers in Chicago. Why didn't dickhead turn himself in at least? he has no decency and deserves what he gets.
Too bad for both dogs. One who died and his will probably be put down
Listen all peta asshats its a dog the cop was an ass but this is not police related this is civil this is what dogs and all animals do. seriously? Scc is just saying what should have been done there is no defense. Get a life libs. The cop should have done the right thing and failed too but this was not animal cruelty. Find something else to do Seriously!

Today Governor Quinn's Pension Reform Commission was supposed to release their plan for potentially cutting current and retired police and fire pensions. Has anyone heard anything about what the report entails? This report and the deadline date of today was never mentioned by the FOP and I wonder if anyone has any news?

nearly $2 million spent on one GOP race
Federal reports show where political money is as campaigns gear up for general election..."
http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2012-04-16/news/ct-met-illinois-congress-fundraising-20120417_1_campaign-finance-reports-democratic-primaries-general-election
...............
HA the media....
Now let me ask you something.
Where was this $4.2 million dollars of the democrats money and $2 million dollars of the GOP money actually spent?
Any local businesses by you...certainly not by me. There's no trickle down economics here.
Isn't it a fact that all that money spent was spent on advertizing. TV, Radio ad's and newspaper print. Yet to read the story one would walk away thinking that this spending is helping the community. It's not. No one has seen any of it except for the media corporate elites.
And now you wonder why none of this main stream media is going to call these people out!?
The $6 million dollars in campaign contribution advertizing dollars may just dry up if they say something bad about the political apparatus.
They're just doing their jobs, following their orders to collect their paychecks. The sellouts.
That $6 million dollars came from the social security tax break that Washington gave everyone and that the State of Illinois promptly took away with their State income tax increase. That Sate income tax increase funded the $100 million dollar corporate tax breaks to several Illinois corporations which in turn enabled the campaign donations to fund the political propaganda machine. Follow the money!

Sir or Ma'am you cannot read. SCC stated nothing remotely related to defending the fat fucker.
If he doesn't take responsibility for his own pet, makes you wonder what else he might try to duck.
You're wrong on this one.
About 8 or 9 years ago I was at a gang investigators conference. A state trooper from a western state ( shall remain unnamed) worked undercover with the motor cycle gangs. He mentioned to me that members of CPD in a bike club were hanging out with outlaws at social events. So, I don't doubt this.
Failure to report a crime, being involved in a crime and leaving the scene and you are a police officer. A good chance he will be fired, a very good chance he will take a very lengthy suspension.
Come on ! Seriously, does it surprise you ?
PIT BULLS NEED TO BE BANNED!
Why?
Because humans can't handle them!
They've been inbreed to much.
They've been trained to fight too much.

But humans have ruined them
Oh and by the way:
If you have a Pit with blue eyes, chances are they are blind or partially blind.
Idiots.
$6000 vet bill? He should have given $100 for a cremation and allow them to keep the remains.
It is a Fucking dog bite for Cristsakes!
I had a Pitbull for over 13 yrs and it was the best Dog I have ever had. Loyal , without a doubt, to Family ( 2 young children & Wife) Obedient and never gave a problem to the old Family cat we had, but woe to the stranger that tried to enter the yard when my kids were in it ! He would have your Ass!
a dog died, media coverage really how many dog are put to sleep a day? how many murders,csa and drug addict are in chicago?
i have an alligator on my boat
I'm sorry but what an asshole! His dog mauls another dog bad enough for it to die from its injuries and he just takes off. Don't expect any sympathy from me. Forget that the dog actually died. Where does this stroke get off failing to control his dog in the first place and then to be such an arrogant POS to just up and split, ignoring his legal, moral obligation and just plain human decency.
If his dog got attacked he would have been all over any owner trying to flee the scene. There would have been criminal charges and probably resisting and assault of a P.O. charges and you all know it.
F%$K this A-Hole. I cannot fathom why you would even try to defend him or minimize his actions.
We are held to a higher standard but this guy fell well below the basic standard we would hold anyone to I'll have to side with IAD on this one
Hey assbags, how sad is this?? There are over 170 comments about a copper's dog who attacked another dog, and less than 50 about the president of the Sgts Assn who stole over 1.1 million, and PLEAD GUILTY!! Where are your priorities???
The fact is, one owner's dog killed another owner's dog. The owner of the one who did the killing either didn't have control of his animal, or induced his animal to commit the act.
Once it was done - property damage or whatever you call it - the guy leaves. Gives a big "FU" to the person who's dog he just killed...
Cop or not - that's wrong by any stretch of the imagination. At least say "Ummm, sorry. Here's my info." and then go from there. But this walking off shit ummm, no. Especially since he's a cop - how do we know he'll uphold the law if he's acting like such a prick in this situation? How can you trust this guy with a gun and a badge? Yeah, he's likely done a lot of good, but unfortunately, he's gotta keep doing that. If he had, hey - he'd have gotten a kudo for being a stand up guy who's dog got stupid, and he could be made out to be the good cop who's making it right.
Now, instead of all that, he's the fucken asshole who's Mr. "Cop so I don't gotta tell you dick"-guy, and you know what? fuck him. He doesn't deserve the trust. He makes it right for these people - pays their bill, donates some money to some worthy animal-related cause, and gets suspended for a month without pay. OR, he can continue to be a fucken nitwit, argue about it some more, try to wiggle out, and because of NATO coming up - Raccoon isn't gonna have it, so Mr. Dickcop will get shitcanned. Time for this guy to use his brain, if he has one... He fucked up. So MAN UP already...
I feel for the owner of the little dog who suffered and died. Losing a pet is liking losing a family member. Screw this guy and his pit bull..
This is Rahms first and final offer to the teachers union.....
"At the moment, the mayor's negotiators are sticking to their opening offer of a 2 percent raise for the teachers spread over the next five years. That amounts to less than half of a percent raise a year. Factor in inflation, higher pension costs, and medical costs and teachers will be making less in five years than they're making today.".....
Guess what we will get offered..........
Let's look at this realistically...If it was the PO's dog that was bitten and died, what would have happened?
He probably would have shot it and felt justified in his actions.
Punishment
In a cage with six pit bulls
You walk out your reinstaded
I owned a beautiful pit years ago, he was by far the best dog I ever had. Not all pits are bad but if you have no idea how they were raised, it's best to use caution when bringing them around other animals or people. Very sad regarding the little pooch but when your going to the dog park all owners of animals need to keep an eye on their pets.

Since when are pit bulls dangerous? They are no different than any other breed of dog. If they are treated well, they are good dogs, if they're mistreated, they are bad dogs.

Not to defend some goof walking away from the damage his dog did, but this is why I think it's a bad idea to bring teacup squirrel-sized dogs to dog parks/beaches where big dogs are.
It's like letting a 5 year old kid play tackle football with strange 15 year olds.

You're an idiot. Blame the person who has a small dog because this POS' pit mauled their dog. As other posters have already pointed out, it wasn't a Golden or a Lab, which are both significantly bigger than the "teacup" dogs.
A better comparison would be to say that bringing the pit to the dog beach is like bringing a sexual predator to a playground.

Agree, I have a 20 lb dog and I would not have hesitated to shoot the pit.
To the asshots out there. How is this idoit a hairgel? Please define. Your making the other hairgels look bad.
This "officer" is one of the reasons that the good cops of Chicago are looked down upon. Flush this turd out of the system and lets get some more honorable officers on the payroll. His actions are pathetic.
Off topic... Word from a friend in I.a.d who knows told me the next cpd scadel is about to come down the pipe.... Apparently several members of cpd are being looked at by the Feds for associating with the outlaw motorcycle club and other motorcycle gangs at social events. Feds were watching the outlaws and on several occasions found members of the American lawmen club hanging out with them. The American lawmen are mostly members of the cpd. The Feds then notified the dept of this and the ball is rolling on it already. Look for many to be stripped in the near future for associating with known felons and gang members...
**************************
false. It was a rumor at first going around but ive just confirmed that it was only a rumor and I have confirmed now that its NOT TRUE. So, no need to freak.. its only rumor. How it started nobody will ever know.
************************
Correct. I talked to a guy who would definitely know if this is true and he said its laughable. Nothing of the such has even popped up on the radar of anyone in the department or outside agencies. Rumors rumors rumors. I love it when a rumor gets legs and takes off. Ive got a feeling this started with the conversation in roll call last week in 025 that was about a completely different group of bikers and an entirely different incident.. but again, that's just speculation and thats how rumors take off...as usual, much to do about nothing.
This incident happened to my daughters dog last year. A boss on the Fire Department family dog grabbed my daughters small dog in the back yard puncturing her lung. Owner assisted my daughter to her vet where it was found that my daughters dog would have to be put down after finding spine damaged. Owner of offending dog paid vet bill immediately. No discussion! Money was also donated in my daughters dog's name to a pet rescue and validated. No Police called, no bite card etc. just a person taking responsibility for their pet and doing the right thing! Just that easy! BTW the dog that grabbed our dog was a Lab who had never ever been aggressive before.
Off topic... The Superintendent of police had exchange words with the Hockey Villian Raffi Torres. What was said is unknown but Torres put his hockey stick in the Police Supts.face with the Supt.backing off.Smart move,Torres hurt one person already. The beer musceles were starting to show.
Lose your job for this? No way. That said, come on man, your dog KILLED somebody else's dog... man up!!!

Don't attribute YOUR beliefs to someone else. You have NO knowledge of what he would or wouldn't do.
The way i heard it dont know if true or not but I heard he stuck around for a bit but to long response time and a lot of shit talking from the other party he got frustrated and left. Of course even if that were true wich we will never hear he should have reported it asap. Not defending I wasnt there so I wont pass judgement we are very quick to jump to conclisions . Scc you sir or sirs tend to throw stones a little quick sometimes.
