Let's Make a Deal!

  • City officials and a national nurses organization cut a deal today that will allow a protest rally in Daley Plaza next Friday before the NATO summit begins, in return for the nurses dropping their plans to march through downtown.

    Earlier this week the city revoked permission for the nurses group to march to Daley Plaza on May 18 on the grounds that the demonstration was expected to grow well beyond the estimated crowd of 1,000 people.

    The march was to be diverted to Grant Park for the rally. Other protest groups joined the nurses in attacking the move as a city attempt to limit free speech during the May 20-21 gathering of world leaders in Chicago.
So we're under a week now and no word on hours, assignments, breaks, bathrooms, eating, etc.

hey occupiers or NATO protesters... if you want to really create a scene start doing protests tomorrow. The city is 100 percent un prepared because they have no order out yet for anything and they allowed days off this weekend so far into next week. Nobody is on call, nobody is waiting to be called to assemble and nobody has any type of gear with them at work. Please, set something up for saturday or sunday to teach these idiot bosses that they are screwing everything up. Lord knows by keeping me in the dark they are screwing my life up.. still dont know whats going on and if I will have to find sitters and For what times I will need sitters.. Its not so easy to do, im a single father and cant just come up with a sitter if I get put on that midnight watch.

Gee, my nurse at home took one look at the "nurse" spokeswoman interviewed on television and stated, "My, she sure looks manly!" I agreed. Methinks most real nurses will be at home with the kids, cooking or cleaning or helping with homework and awaiting their hero's return from 12 hour shifts. My nurse at home is a real nurse in a real hospital attending to real patients unlike the female bomb thrower with the crewcut. Save yourself-vote Republican!

Sound familiar? What do you think the mayors private corporate partnership trust is all about?



The biggest demonstration by police officers held in England and Wales on Thursday demanded the government halts its cuts and "privatisation" of the service.

More than 30,000 officers marched through the capital, said the Police Federation, in the only action they are legally entitled to take, in a show of defiance against budget cuts and proposed changes to the service.

The last time they carried out a similar demonstration, in 2008, they numbered around 20,000, and the federation said this time it was a display of the anger of rank and file officers faced with cuts to their pay, pensions and changes to their working conditions.

Some officers wore T-shirts demanding full industrial rights – the last time officers went on strike was in 1919 but the government banned them from taking such action again. In a symbolic nod to the 16,000 officers the federation say will be cut in the next two years, the same number of marchers wore black baseball caps as they walked from Millbank, past the Home Office to Parliament Square and on to Waterloo Place.

Carrying banners stating "Police for public not for profit", the marchers booed and slow-handclapped as they passed the Home Office. Others chanted "Theresa May, Theresa May, leave our pensions and our pay". All the officers had taken a day off work to join the protest.

Phil Abbiss, from the West Yorkshire federation, said the demonstration was the voice of officers protesting against the 20% cuts being imposed on the service by the home secretary. "It is simple, we cannot protect the public whilst sustaining losses in police numbers of this magnitude," he said. "The government's answer is to privatise us by stealth so the likes of G4S will be patrolling the streets, that is why we are all here today."

News From 025-

Last night 12-MAY-12 on 1st watch there were five agg batts to p.o. one charge of attempting to disarm a police officer and two paramedics agg batt to protected employee.

Once again the offenders will walk out with a smile on their face and a slap on their wrist. I hope all of the injured officers recover from their injuries. One officers was hit with his baton on the top of his head and sustained a pretty bad laceration. Another officers dislodged his shoulder.

This should remind us to always watch out for each other.

OT. Someting to think about on pension reform. If they are able to change retirement age for current VESTED employee's now. They will never stop changing it in the future. They will be able to use future changes as blackmail during contract talks. There are several of us who will be hiring our own labor lawyer to sue the city in a class action for breech of contract. Be ready if this reform passes, to resign that day. If you do, its looking like, they will at least owe you the percentage you earned up til then and collect that at 50. If you are not able to do that and stay on, your are rolling the dice for the future.

Laurie Healey and Debra Kirby do not have a clue in what they are doing but they do know how to out and out lie to the public.

Informational signs that they had the media report about on Lake Shore Drive do not exist on the south side.

A P.O. who resides on Cullerton just west of Calumet, he can seeMcCormack Place from his deck, reports that no one from the City has contacted heor his neighbors about what they are facing. Healey claimed that everyone who will be impacted has been contacted what BS.

It looks like they have cut the South Side off from the rest of the City. How will the ambulances carrying the gunshot victims make it to Northwestern? Do Healey and Kirby care?

This Rachael Something is SO obnoxious and off-putting.

There is a real inversion going on here. Anyone would have to say that she is the masculine side of Andy Thayer -- as you say, a bellowing bomb-thrower, while Andy is a whiner and bitcher.

I just now heard her on the radio -- she absolutely tramples the listener.

It struck me that they have greatly inflated the number of people they have -- and then the city went according to those figures and changed their permit!

Then they didn't like that!

Asshole Thayer, in his own words, "grudgingly accepted" FREE use of the Petrillo Bandshell -- with the usual insurance requirements waived.

Now they don't want the Bandshell, and are calling the ACLU.

So? Are they still having their "rage" concert, or not?

"Let's Make a Deal!"

Amusing that you would put it that way SCC...

An informal "round table" with some CPD family members both active and retired took place last week...

Venue: Someone's very nice man-cave.

Topic: The VERY distinct possibility of Rahm & Co. buying off/colluding with certain elements of the Occupy movement.

Good food was the fuel...

Powerful, heavy-fisted cigars and disciplined partaking of the Pappy Van Winkle (blessings on him & his house) helped the conversation turn.

Noted: Irony that those who wear the two row Sillitoe Tartan are the subject of the misplaced ire of these misguided and misdirected Occupy children.

Evidence?

Numerous signs of stupid shit/stinkin' thinkin' abound...

Stash houses of piss & shit missiles being found. Anti-Police "we're gonna fuck your old asses up, etc etc..." anarchist "droppings" found in different places.

A couple of CPD family members related that their young 'uns have been casually prerusing some of the electronic hang-outs of the Occupy bunch and it seems that 9.5 aka Mr. 1% Like a Muthafuckah (18 Million Reasons to Love The Shit Out of Fannie Mae with her great & mighty ass...) is CONSPICUOUSLY ABSENT as a source of ire.

*Dog cocks his head with curiousity... Sniffs... Then squats to take a shit*

Hmmmm?

This IS Chicago. Ground Zero of limitless, high performance political fuckery.

Fuck the high order Kabuki Theater currently on stage. It all ends up the same with some poor slob committing hara kiri amidst the yowling, clashing cymbals, swishing robes and stylized jaw jacking.

Move them out of the way with the business end of a .45 because the muthafuckahs back stage are orchestrating this shit are DEFINITELY worth looking at... Fucking Trotskyites.

Egads... It'll be like hitting a notorious dope house once upon a time and dying of laughter while the assholes inside are trying to jump out the one fuckin' window that doesn't have bars on it.

9.5 must've had his people get in touch with/paid the Occupy people to lay off.

Some of our CPD family members in 019 passed on some funny observations.

Funny Shit said: "Yeah... These knuckle-headed kids flinging shit at The Police is gonna put the fear of God in Rahm and his North Shore/Gold Coast, Hollywood and D.C. 1%-ers. Why not fling shit at the actual object of scorn? How much you want to bet THEY'RE the ones funding these little darlings?"

I think the plan is business as usual, zero police involvement, therefore zero city liability. but what do I know.

Nice to always see that we are the point of view for everyones anger, resentment or bullshit, while the politicians always escape any scrutiny....

Is this some sort of lame ass attempt to use 1950's imagery and nostalgia to sow dissent between the police and our brothers/sisters in white. Nurse, the police stand with. Oh, and before I forget, stay off of our blog you fascist Rahm troll.

You really think your degree from Calumet College will benefit you?

Try going to a real college.

Let me get this straight. You went to a "real "college and this is the best job you could get.

Chuckle, Chuckle.

Hey all you anarchist types. Leave the starbucks and downtown alone,all you're doing is alienating the sheep. Instead, find the addresses to our local pols. and go do what you do to them. That would be some funny shit and you might actually accomplish something. All the mega faceless corporations could care less about you breaking some windows but I GUARANTEE you our spineless politicians would shit a fucking brick.

So how do you like 20mph on ALL Chicago residential streets? Better like it. Gabe Klein from the Racoon's staff has released a plan to have all Chicago residential streets 20mph. What the fuck are these ignorant assholes smoking on the 5th floor. Why not just trade all our cars in for horses.

5/12/2012 02:32:00 AM

It's a set up for the speed cameras. Current speed limit is 30 mph. If the "new" limit is 20 mph, then you will get ticketed for what is now considered normal.
Safety my ass......
Can you say KACHING!!!
Makes you want to puke!

To 2:53 a.m good luck with that joke of a degree you probably got credits on line or at the academy. There are thousands of either underpaid or out of work people with real degrees. Also even if you do land a decent job which I doubt you will, you will be working til your 67. So dont knock me I have 19 yrs on making 80k a year with a g.e.d. Worse case I have to work til 60 it will suck but probably better off than the avg college graduate these days . Be original learn how to get by and invest without a college degree your probably upside down on your house and have big car payment.your the dumbass my tenants pay my mortgage you fell into that must have college bullshit. Excuse the grammar I am undereducated.

Here is a person with some aptitude and brains. While having a college education should be an advantage, a college education does not guarantee neither a good job nor success. But we need more people like you on the job. Some of these colleges are scams. I have seen police officers with master’s degrees from Calumet College who cannot neither read nor write too well. The sad part is that these officers really think that they are highly educated. But, before anyone says that I do not have a college education, I hold a degree that is higher than a master’s.

I fled a higher paying job twenty-two years ago and took my degree from a real university with me to do the last of the real mens jobs. So did two generations before me. I'd work until 63 or even 65 if I was healthy, the family approved-how can anyone disapprove of 118K per year answering phones to advise the beat guy on the proper course of action-and I was still having fun! In fact I think I'll write a to-from and suggest they raise the retirement age to 85 and get my fathers ass up off the sofa!

yeah, good for you... a real feel good story of the year but guess what. I dont get to sit my ass talking on a phone.. Im the beat guy on the other line suffering. 25 years on still answering jobs, bad knees, bad back having to get in and out of the car dealing with sh*theads day in and day out. Denied time due and the rest of the crap that Ive been dealing with for the past 25 1/2 years. The only thing that is good is that I get all of july off and all of december. I work days and thats good enough for now. No fucking way im working till im 60. i can max out at 55 which Is exactly when I intended of leaving. I have no plans of staying until im 60.. no fkn way. I need to live after this job and I want to enjoy every single day of retirement.. no way im loosing 5 years of that because of 9.5 and his bullshit.... and the last thing.. this use to be the last mans job.. It no longer is. We lost that about 10 years ago.

You must have missed the several dozen posts here on SCC that said the new school and park zones will cover about two thirds of the city.

In other words, most Chicago streets will be 20mph now. And not just the side streets. Reading comprehension, try it.

Does anyone even know what the nurses are protesting? I mean they are paid fairly well. There is a shortage of nurses so they arent getting laid off. So whats the beef?
