Protest Continue to Fizzle
Crowds smaller than expected.
Cops continue to maintain professionalism.
Bosses licking their chops in anticipation of taking all the credit:

- For a moment, it looked as if everyone’s NATO nightmare was about to come true.
Chicago cops raced their bikes between cars on Michigan Avenue. They sped toward a swelling crowd of angry and rowdy protesters at Wacker Drive. Some in that group had begged — literally begged — cops to throw a punch, shoot a gun, anything to set off the crowd.
The masses looked potentially violent.
The cops appeared ready to meet force with force.
In the heart of Chicago’s business district, the scene was primed to explode.
But it never happened.
That's Pulitzer Prize writing right there folks.
Today is the big day though. Hot, humid, crowded. We get past Saturday and things might lighten up a bit.

It was a non-event today. Very small crowd. The large majority of Americans don't agree with these goofs and it's starting to show. They have so many causes that no one knows what they are really protesting and why. 99% of the protesters all look like LSD pot smoking scum that probably had a poor up bringing and never worked or wanted to work a day in their lives. Very few take showers and have any sort of smarts. Most protest just to be part of some type of disorder. Low lifes.
was down there all day today, not bad at all. In fact, it was 10 times easier than a day in the district would have been.
Yes, the water and gatorade and gronola bars were a little expired, but WTF, you're getting them for free! It's fucking water!! Come on already, quit being such bitches. There was plenty of down time to stop in a store and grab "non-expired" water for those that just can't drink anything but Fiji water.
All in all, not bad at all from where i was. Just hoping the next two go as smooth
PO'S TREATED LIKE SHIT TODAY AT NATO... not from the protestors but from the bossess.... no lunch relief, no food, expired drinks and snacks, people left on corners with buses, but NO cta drivers.... then want to short change you on overtime---were taking slips when released and putting that as your end time,,,STILL HAD TO DRIVE CITY VEHICLES BACK TO THE STATION
Seen multiple postings on anarchist websites that MONDAY will be the day everything goes down. They are waiting for businesses to return to normal and let their guard down. Also bigger disruptions with the return of the work week. Be prepared.
this was a slow day and total cluster fuck... no lunch, no food, expired in 2009 water, expired in 2010 granola bars, expired in 2011 gatoraid, radios fucked up, no arrest kits passed out, ran out of radio batteries, then expect you to take vehicles/equipmet back to district for free
HOW THE FUCK DO THEY GIVE US WATER THAT IS EXPIRED BY OVER 3 YEAR, GRANOLA BARS EXPIRED 2 YEARS, AND GATORAID EXPIRED BY A YEAR????????????????????? then run out of food, for those who got lunches, which appearently was half ass sandwiches that did not look as good as the ones in lock-up
Large group of anarchists to arrive late sunday in preparation for havoc all day monday. Be careful and be aware.
Scc, check this out! Little "occupy" assholes at work!

The loser dirty occupy group walked past and they smell worse than shit.
Thank God for the low hippie turnout because these bosses are going to get coppers hurt by trying to be the warm and fuzzy police. Why bother bringing a helmet, gas mask and turttle gear if it's just going to sit in the van?

Let McPlanner take ALL OF THE CREDIT if this goes well. It will be his ticket to ruin bigger and better stuff elsewhere as the offers roll in. Let this be a grand success and let this guy get swept outa town on a golden chariot!
A hearty fuck you to Lt Lipmann at the academy. After all the officers reported there for G8, all the parking was gone. Jackson was also made a no parking zone so officers had to start parking up on the grass. He came in and told officers to start moving their cars. When asked where they should park, he responded by saying he had more important things to worry about.
More important then where the front line officers would store their gear as they reported to deploy? And isn't this something he should have planned for in the days leading up to G8. If he doesn't care about the welfare of the troops being sent up to the front lines, what are his priorities and should he even be around recruits to pass on his mush style of management?
What happened to that officer that was knocked to the ground and looked like he hit his head on the bridge railing. News showed it at 9 o'clock in the preview, didn't show it again and then interviewed protestors who said how bad the police were. These media scum can go to hell. There day will come. Really hope he is OK. They said agg. batt. charges were approved. Many very dangerous spots in 001 and 018. Be very aware of your surroundings when these animals try to corner you. I pray St. Michael will protect the protectors. God Bless all of you.

Congrats to our Supt, Deputy Georgas and Kirby. You made our police dept look professional and I am so proud to be part of history. We did it guys!!!! One more day to go. Hang in there. Let's show the world that our city is so safe and we are all professional police officers.
Without the g8 there is not much to protest. Really, aside from the local Russian community who might have an axe to grind, who gives a rats ass about NATO anyway. Is there still a Warsaw pact, or is that gone the way of the dinasaurs?
Well SCC I hope your right since the DC in 014 comes to Roll Call and tell the troops they cannot put their helmets on w/o her direct order, under no circumstances. If this is violated we had better be able to justify putting on the helmets ie. Exigent circumstances. So would a rock to the face causing serious damage be justification for putting on our helmets? Oh wait it will just cost you an eye, some teeth, a broken jaw, serious scarring, but then if you put your helmet you will thus have your justification for doing so.....we are so fucked with pathetic so called leadership as this........
I wouldn't get too comfortable. These assholes can turn nasty in seconds. Hopefully it won't be too bad.

No one cares about this stupid NATO crap except the Chicago Democrats trying to get re-elected!
The News Media is actually trying to stir up shit because there is really no story with this! Pictures of Officers standing around Sox park waiting to be deployed! Really?!
Downtown Chicago ought to be a ghost town this weekend!
Anyone with half a brain won't go downtown until after Tuesday!
GREAT FAKE BEER RAID A NATIONAL DISGRACE
Lt lipman. What a clown. Loves being an inside boss where its nice and safe and cozy. Nobody takes this goof seriously. No one respects him. Just ask the PO's that work at the United Center. When he speaks nobody listens. It's really funny how he's treated over there. HAH !

Dhould have left it where it was parked and took CTA.
Three out-of-state men arrested in a Bridgeport apartment raid days before the NATO summit were charged with conspiracy to commit terrorism, providing material support for terrorism and possession of an explosive or incendiary device, their attorney and police said early Saturday.
The arrests were the result of a month-long investigation into a group suspected of making Molotov cocktails — crude bombs usually created by filling glass bottles with gasoline, according to law enforcement sources and police records obtained by the Tribune.
PO'S TREATED LIKE SHIT TODAY AT NATO
Shut up sister You'll get your chessy ribbon soon Just be glad you have a job!
Boring... Perhaps the media can do more to get a riot started.
Why are Bosses mugging for the cameras by making the arrests???
Bad leadership in action

FUCK YOU... i would rather have nothing, then shit that is EXPIRED BY YEARS, it is a slap in the face. and there are experation dates on shit for a reason bitch.
Put in a regular slip for driving. city cars back to units.
let them deny then file grievance.
Get event number for driving vehicles back.
Sheriff Dart strikes again. The few officers he assigned to secure the Daley center for NATO were ordered not to be in the public view and not allowed outside the building. He then orders State police out of the Daley Center lobby who were trying to cool off. He told his Chief the riot gear was intimidating the public and protestors.
HOW THE FUCK DO THEY GIVE US WATER THAT IS EXPIRED BY OVER 3 YEAR, GRANOLA BARS EXPIRED 2 YEARS, AND GATORAID EXPIRED BY A YEAR????????????????????? then run out of food, for those who got lunches, which appearently was half ass sandwiches that did not look as good as the ones in lock-up

Yes, make sure you file a grievance ASAP. Do not let these loser bosses short change you for time worked. Your tour isn't done until that squad car is parked in the station and your equipment is turned in. Unless you are driving away from your deployed location in your own personal vehicle and heading home, you are still on the clock. DO NOT LET THEM GET AWAY WITH THAT SHIT.
Just a quick note from a CFDer to say how much I respect and admire my CPD Brothers and Sisters. "Professional" doesn't begin to describe your performance the past few days. Regardless of what the scum politicians and media say, you are showing why you are the finest Police Force in the world. Continue to stay safe. 99% of Chicagoans are with you. The other 1% can go screw.
Most anarchist sites I've seen (black bloc type shit) say 5/20 is the day.
I am shocked, but no surprised about the treatment of the officers by the command staff ( if these stories are universal). The officers on front line duty for hours should have been provided with refreshments. The city has the money. It would have been good for morale and showed that the command staff was looking out for the people. They should answer for this. The FOP should get answers.
From probably the only pro-police conservative that lives in streeterville and works in the loop, you guys looked great today. I imagine that Friday's show of manpower downtown is what you guys would look like as a fully staffed 12,000 strong force.
As for monday, tons of businesses are telling people to work remotely. Whether its from your home or hotel if you made a 3 day trip to somewhere for the weekend.

Lt Lippman claimed that city hall called about the illegal parking. After all of the officers left to their assignments, he makes the announcements. There is illegal parking every day. Why does he enforce the rules during nato?

Step One: Initiating a Grievance. The grievant will first submit his or her grievance in writing to his or her immediate supervisor in his or her unit of assignment within seven (7) of the officer’s working days following the events or circumstances giving rise to the grievance or where first known by the grievant, or thirty-five (35) days, whichever period is shorter.
(35 days if on furlough, won't apply here most likely)
I don't know what the problem is.
Yesterday I watched the Crosstown Classic in my backyard, driking a DAB, with a glass of Jack on the side, and an occasional cigar. Yep this NATO Summit is all aces in my book. Plus I'm retired.
Occasionally you will have a decent sergeant trying to do their best by the PO's. But few of our Lt's are there so the suckhole good for shit exempts are throwing ridiculous orders around.
I hope our corps of exempt commanders get something good and hard up their ass for selling us out.
I am damn glad they got the uniform and duty availability taken away without any warning. Serves them right. They suck all that dick for nothing. They are there just to get that golden pension, that is it. Good for shit asshples. I step in dog shit that is more decent and honorable than the exempts.
Do not let your guard down. Yesterday wasn't too bad but let me tell you, many of these people have a strong hatred for the police. They are trying to provoke every cop out there. More on their way and anarchists still making their plan to attack. Keep your eyes and ears open! Be safe- always!
Hard to believe Jakes wants more police and appears to be on our side for the moment.
For immediate Release "THE OTHER NATO" For Immediate Release May 18, 2012
Neglected Abused Totally Overlooked
Reverend Paul Jakes calls for meeting with Mayor Emanuel
Chicago – Reverend Paul Jakes and members of “The Other NATO” organization are expressing concern about the safety and protection of citizens in Chicago’s Black, Hispanic and poor communities during the NATO summit. Reverend Jakes says his concern comes in the wake of confusion created by the apparent disagreement between Mayor Rahm Emanuel and the head of the Fraternal Order of Police, Michael Shields over whether there will be sufficient numbers of trained police officers to cover the entire city during the summit.
According to Reverend Jakes, “This is no time to raise that kind of uncertainty.” On Wednesday, the mayor claimed that he was confident that there are enough officers to cover the entire city. However, FOP president Shields, countered that he seriously doubted the mayor’s claim of adequate police coverage.
Reverend Jakes says the conflict between Emanuel and Shields is raising serious concerns about whether there will be enough trained police officers to protect residents of some of Chicago’s more vulnerable neighborhoods during the NATO summit.
Reverend Jakes points out, “We are headed into a warm weekend, which often leads to increased violence. My concern is that with most of the trained, veteran officers assigned downtown; who is being assigned to our neighborhoods?” He adds, “Will our neighborhoods get police cadets who have little or no experience in dealing with the kind of violence that we are face, especially when the weather gets warm?”
Reverend Jakes says he is requesting a meeting with Mayor Emanuel on Friday, either before or after he participates in the National Nurses United Rally at Daley Plaza at 11:00 a.m.
Now you're bitching about EXPIRED WATER and CANDY BARS. Seriously? Unfucking believable.
The block bloc-heads will be out Sunday.
Stay safe boys & girls!!

If CPD projects as 'professional', it's despite Kirby and Georgas, not because of them.
Don't pat yourself on the back yet...
Is it true one freak tried to disarm an officer?
Yesterday was too easy, get ready for the change up
Glad that law and order are being maintained, but seeing that the two-day summit doesn't officially begin until Sunday, I hesitate calling the outcome of this game while it's still in the early innings. I'll leave that to those watching the Crosstown Classic...
This is not over yet the protesters stuck around for a month in New York and some of the other states. Yes it was easy yesterday but the protesters are going to do something,they didn't come here for nothing so be aware watch out for people in back of you.
Anarchists are doing their thing Monday. Waiting for everyones guard to be down. They also know CPd is allowing days off that day and teams will only be working 8 hours... I didn't see that info released on the news so how do the anarchists know about it??? I read that Monday is the day on several anarchist websites and on a few NATO and g8 Facebook and twitter pages.. Could be interesting Monday.. Especially when coppers will be the most tired and irratible and ready for this crap to end.. I hope the brain trusts at 35th are aware of this and are adjusting plans.. If not I hate to be the guy that says... I told ya so!
Cant believe we're patting ourselves on the back already......Monday the shit goes diem
Good job everyone...go home now
Saw the comments about getting shortchanged on ot- I've got a feeling there will be many grievances filed regarding this detail. Handing out expired food to the officers stuck at this detail when they have no other option is negligent and pathetic on the city's part. I know mcdumbass and rahm are not drinking expired water; and to that clown who said stop whining, it's free- you're a fool. There's a reason why food, and yes water, has an expiration date- it is no good! If you went to the store and saw that on the shelf you would be ripping the grocer manager a new one, and they would remove the expired items immediately. The management on this dept is deplorable and will only get worse; TL former capt of 023 used quotas and ran useless missions to skew stats on his watch, meritorious sgt burger king of former 023 did contract work on his house while he was a po on city time and now runs the clock timer on every job the pos get, cmdr in 020 violates the union contract and sends out officers with the most seniority to details in 003 while the those with the least amount of time sit comfortably on their assigned beat cars or worse, hiding behind the station desk. Instead of firing supervisors that lack real skill or experience, and cause more problems than they solve, they continue to promote or hide them. I think officers have really become fed up with this and until things change it will get worse. Patrol is the backbone of this organization and the management better wake up and realize that fact. Those handful of "special people" who have the luxury of assigned cars and partners will not carry the whole district, FYI . Those who bounce bring in more activity than the chosen.
That was CFD Captain Altman that knocked the copper down on the bridge, he figured if he got away with it once , why not do it again! I hope that officer is alright.
CPD bosses incompetence on display 24/7 everyday. How do you get expired Gatorade and granola bars? I wonder who's brother got that contract. Where did the money go? I wonder will McJERSEY shore put whoever was responsible up front at compstat and ask the questions or did he line his pockets too at the expense of the PO' s on the street. obviously the city's money was taken and spent on something besides what it was supposed to be.
The reason water has an exp date is the plastic its bottled in can make it toxic after a few years. Might wanna be careful drinkn that
Anyone notice In the Michigan ave bridge video tall thin PO had his baton disarmed from his belt. Watch carefully as guy in hoodie and anonymous mask skillfully pulls his baton out of the ring while PO is struggling with other offender, it then flies into the air and lands on the bridge where the animals pounce on it like a trophy. Be careful, this looks like a very calculated move, first time I saw it I thought he was going for his pistol. Mother f.....ers
What a useless city, all bottle water (skids full) is expired from 2009 & tastes like rotting plastic, poweraids exp 2011... ran out of "boxed" lunches yesterday.... The city that cares about you!
Monday & Tues will be the day the city shows how "prepared they are". If driving a city vehicle back to district, once there fill out, submit & copy another OT slip.
Dear GOD, let all the working city people be safe, and please let the city burn while we watch in our uniform of the day. Amen.
Great job by the bike coppers so far! Very impressive, very professional. Those bikes can become a liability quickly if the rider isn't constantly aware of their surroundings.
Keep up the great work, everyone! It would be so great to send these losers packing with minimal arrests/violence. They'd be beside themselves that they couldn't entice you into a fight and become martyrs.
Are you guys kidding me?!? They gave you's expire water, snacks, etc...
So that's where my tax dollar$ are going? Keep up the great job guys & girls, I can only imagine.
--Tax paying citizen
At least we know that the city still sees the department of aviation police as a joke. Where's your guns and vests? Ha! Hire a private company to do the work of the empty holsters. No need for them. Wonder how much the city would save without them.

Open keys are going to get someone killed.... Who are these fools with open keys for 5 minutes straight.... wtf!!!!
Hey Gary I bet your mom is loving it that you're out of her basement for a few days. At 43 you don't even have $2 for the bus. The fact that you're not even embarrassed to admit it speaks volumes. Can you even spell NATO? What a bunch of loosers.
"Many of the protesters who gathered at the church said they walked there from Grant Park because they didn't have money for bus fare.
"Not only do we not know the city, we can't pay for a bus ride," said Gary Harris, 43, who took a bus from Portland, Ore., to Chicago with about 40 other members of the Occupy movement."
More important then where the front line officers would store their gear as they reported to deploy? And isn't this something he should have planned for in the days leading up to G8. If he doesn't care about the welfare of the troops being sent up to the front lines, what are his priorities and should he even be around recruits to pass on his mush style of management..
Lt. Lipman is a class A example of everything that is wrong with Chief loddings administration. He has absolutely no people skills whatsoever and the recruits as well as other officers have stated that time and time again, yet Lodding ; dispite knowing this, doesnt have the courage or balls to deal with him. Lipman is a prime example of why meritorious positions need to exist. He can score well on test but has absolutely Zero management ability
The water came from RJV provisioning, and was sold as an exclusively aged and stored scientifically formulated hydration replenishment, and then charged the city five bucks a bottle.

The scariest thing Iv'e ever seen!!
Hey Black Bloc/Nato/Occupy Protestors,
Watch the video on 5/19/2012 12:58:00 AM's thread. This clearly demonstrates that a) you are not peaceful but incendiary and b) the community does not support you nor wants you here.
After that, get the movie "The Wanderers". MOST of you have never seen this since it's before your time. Watch the big fight at the end of the movie. THIS is what will happen to YOU if you come into our neighborhoods and start acting up again. EVERYONE (Blacks, whites, latins, asians, gangbangers and "civilians") will unite against your misguided cause regardless of race, ethnicity, economics, etc. and fight to get rid of their common enemy (YOU). Just as the rival gangs and neighborhoods did in The Wanderers. WE DO NOT want you here in our city and certainly in our neighborhoods. YOU are all VERY lucky that a) the police you were protesting were protecting YOU from US and b) you didn't march down any side streets. IF you tried the latter, the outcome would have not have been favorable towards you. See the biker vs neighborhood fight in "The Bronx Tale" for a point of reference. "now yous cant leave".....
BE WARNED - this is NOT Seattle, Toronto, Milan or London. We are not a liberal city. NOR are we unarmed. We are the type (most of us) who will help out someone in need in a second. HOWEVER, if crossed, we'll kick your ass in a second. Try and take over our city, you will get a WAR! And the police will not stop us.
Do yourselves a favor. GO HOME. GET a JOB (or at least try to) and wake up. And think of someone else besides yourself. Maybe do things for others (kind things) and their good. A novel concept nowadays.....
The majority of Americans (even those out of work or down and out) DO NOT support your cause or your ways. We all see thru your lies - you are NOT for the common good. Only to cause trouble and to try and act like your hippie grandparents did in the 60's.
BE FOREWARNED TROUBLEMAKERS!!
NOT a police officer but a concerned regular American citizen and life-time Chicago (southside) resident.
God bless you CPD and stay safe.
To the guy bitching about parking for g8, Uh....it isn't here. NATO is here. You're like the protesters who don't even know why they are protesting.
Don't get too comfortable, remember, it ain't over till the fat hippie bathes.
OT - More shared sacrifice
150 million tax dollars sought to help private wealthy business at Wrigley Field owned by multi-millionaire

Im glad everyone was safe and that the biggest complaint was the FREE water and granola bars....the city did not have to provide any of that.....go around the corner to the store and buy something else cheap ass! The bosses I saw were very concerned about and engaged with the officers. The bosses who werent, have never cared about the police in the first place....focus on the positive and stop complaining so much-your life will become a whole lot happier!
Merit bosses have a meeting today:
"Merit bosses will be having a training today which will meet at the convergence space (615 W. Wellington) at 2:45pm with basic clown training, affinity group training and Direct Action techniques.
Merit bosses will be giving last minute action training and putting on our clown-gear. We will then march to the CanG8 march spot at Petrillo Band Shell to join the larger march. Please bring any spare clown parts and acrylic paint."
OK not really, but...
Too bad all the Citizens of the City, the Mt. Greenwood Hillbillys and such, can't keep their dogs from barking, and keep from making all sorts of noise, hammering, sawing, yelling, car horn blowing, etc. so some Coppers and Firemen can get some rest after working all day and night, The CPD won't even respond properly when a member calls and complains about non-stop noise. We've reached a point where we don't even help out our fellow officers. It's too much work to dispatch a car and handle a routine complaint properly anymore. Work all night 12 hr. shifts and have to listen to racket all day and half the night... Thanks City of Chicago for not even helping out your own officers. Scramble like Bunnies to help out the Ghetto Low-Lifes though. This is what happens when you work for a Department run by a bunch of City of Politicians, instead of Real Police Officers.
If you aren't getting paid to drive the squads back to the station, leave the squad where it's at.
i brought all my expired items over to 59th & morgan and Hakeem paid cash for them and tossed them onto his store shelf. old wagon guy
I WOULD LIKE TO THANK BILLY GOATS AT NAVY PIER FOR TAKING SUCH GOOD CARE OF ALL THE OFFICERS. THANK YOU
If as Rahm said this NATO Summit is just going to be a "minor inconvenience", why is there a super-secret command post located outside of the city, at an undisclosed location?
Monday is supposed to be D-Day for the Black Bloc... All are just waiting to make their move when the work week starts back up.
Hey Frank Main, u ignorant ,lazy , poor excuse for a reporter.Nice pic of a building on the front page , which just happens to NOT be the building where the fuckheads were arrested legally and with probable cause and red handed making fucking homemade torch bombs to hurl at Policemen.keep posting interviews with all these losers and making you and your paper look even worse.And the tribune rag reporting and interviewing is even worse .irresponsible reporting at its finestYou suck!

Lauryn Drozd, 22, was attending a wedding shower at Ashford House located at 7959 W. 159th St. when the incident occurred.
“They started hitting people with bats and hammers,” Drozd said. “They had hoods up.”
She added that it appeared the black-hooded group was targeting a specific person but she was not sure if it was their intent.
It was not known Saturday at 2:30 p.m. if the attack was related to the NATO summit taking place in Chicago this weekend or if could gang related.
I wish these shit head protesters came down my block tossing shit around and disrespecting the Police in front of me like that video showed. I would be cracking some skulls for you guys. They are only acting so tough calling you guys out because they know all the cameras are present. These fools are BITCHES. They pick their battles wisely because I am waiting out front of my house with a Louisville slugger right now! Good Luck, stay safe and THANK YOU! Pilsen
Hey rookies, you bring your own drinks and food in a cooler to an event like this. Shut the fuck up bitches.
Im your boss and I know what Im doing because I said so. Follow me so I can take all the credit. I need to cut our costs so give me your OT slips and take my unit back. I need to kiss McNuttys ASS now and be a great leader.
Why would they be cutting corners on overtime? Rahm got 50 mil from the federal government. Shorting people on slips, no food or drink, no new riot gear or helmets...sounds like Rahm is keeping the cash for his own personal piggybank!
Tinley Park is the same town where four years ago five women were murdered by a mass murderer which the Tinley Park Police have still not solved the crime .

Oops! Forgot.
Love you all,
G-MACK, Curby and Stevie Gee.
Welcome to Cook County Jail, anarchists! You'll meet a lot of nice people there. Give it 10 minutes before those smirks come off your faces and you find out what it's really like to be in a lawless hellhole.
And have a nice night.
ABC Security export Jodi Weiss?????
LMFAO
This speech made by Paulinus seems applicable now as it was back then when 10,000 romans faced up to 100,000 Iceni Celts:
"Ignore the racket made by these savages. There are more women than men in their ranks. They are not soldiers - they're not even properly equipped. We've beaten them before and when they see our weapons and feel our spirit, they'll crack. Stick together. Throw the javelins, then push forward: knock them down with your shields and finish them off with your swords. Forget about plunder. Just win and you'll have everything."[
Leave 'em alone. Isn't it bad enough they're uninvited, unpopular, last-to-get-picked, bad dressing, usually bad complected, rank, boring, homeless, carless, egomaniacs with megaphones and busfare? Let them enjoy their week. They've looked forward to this for years.
Hey SCC, I know this is a little outside Chicago but any word from your suburban brethren about that "Flash Mob" style attack over in Tinley Park? I guess 10-15 people wearing "Masks and Black Hooded Jackets" stormed a restaurant and proceeded to destroy everything and everyone inside with bats and hammers.
When you are facing the crowd, point at one of them, mumble something to your partner and both of you start laughing.It drives them crazy.
Now you're bitching about EXPIRED WATER and CANDY BARS. Seriously? Unfucking believable.

Since it's the sustenance the CITY is providing to its first responders, hell yeah.
I'm pretty sure YOU wouldn't tolerate that from your local supermarket, so why should they be allowed to feed it to US?
Suggest somebody take that stuff in and have it tested (you can video your receipt of it, marking the package/bottle, then get it to some food testing lab). Plastic can poison bottled water once it starts to deteriorate.

Go away, Occupy.
There's proof they conspired to firebomb police stations.
But I guess that's okay with you.

Are you an asshat or just trying to make merit Sergeant. FUCKING SUCKASS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BTW moron shit is starting to go up for grabs. Tomorrow Kirby and Georgas will look like the fucking clueless empty holsters they really are.
I didn't eat the fucking sandwich with the ass end of the bread. Salvation Army came around and asked for uneaten food so it could be given to some other poor copper
"On Saturday, May 19th a group of 30 anti-fascists descended upon Ashford House restaurant in the Chicago suburb of Tinley Park where the 5th annual White Nationalist Economic Summit and Illinois White Nationalist Meet-and-Greet was taking place. The White Nationalists were targeted inside the restaurant and physically attacked, causing several injuries and completely shutting down their meeting. The anti-fascist group was privy to anonymous inside information. This fascist event had been in secret planning for six months. The attendees have attempted to cover up the true intent of the event with mainstream media reports initially reporting the white nationalist conference as a wedding party and then as an Irish heritage meeting. The event was advertised on www.stormfront.org, an established white nationalist fascist internet forum."

Just watched a Ch 7 interview live at 2220, where first a female reporter claimed she saw what happened when a CPD squad speed into a crowd striking the POS and a few seconds later asked your Supt what happened, he called her on it saying"I thought you said you were a witness not another word from her.
Then a male reporter asked about the fully equiped a few blocks away as he put it within striking distance, Your Supt responded by saying" I like your choice of words" I think he put these assholes reporters in their place trying you make something out of nothing. CPD be safe, and that Cook Co Court Commander at Daley Center, you know what you can do, up yours.

Sheriff Dart strikes again. The few officers he assigned to secure the Daley center for NATO were ordered not to be in the public view and not allowed outside the building. He then orders State police out of the Daley Center lobby who were trying to cool off. He told his Chief the riot gear was intimidating the public and protestors.

Dart is having the Sheriff's police sitting in Maywood. These guys want to help, Dart will not let them.
First off. Dart is a Hump.
B. Regarding the water, food, etc. supplied by the city.
Damn straight the guys have a right to bitch.
The city should have waiters serving these officers food from Gibsons. Do you think the CP is drinking and eating expired food.
3. This won't be popular but GMac is doing a good job with the media. He also is out there with the troops.
In my 26 years OTJ I have never seen or heard of the Supe. being physically present at the point of contact
at any of these large scale protests.
In the past the Supe would have his nose up the mayors ass, buried in the bunker at OEMC.
J. Great job by the troops on the line, and everywhere else for that matter.
What the hell is "DHS Police" ??

Department of Homeland Security.
They have a large uniformed presence in other cities. Haven't seen too many around here.
.....yet Lodding ; dispite knowing this, doesnt have the courage or balls to deal with him.
5/19/2012 11:52:00 AM
Lodding has been accused of many things over the last 20 years, but courage and/or balls have never been part of the accusations.

Admittedly it was stupid for the city to provide water and other stuff that is out dated, but please understand that a manufacturers put expiration dates on things, particularly foodstuffs, primarily to avoid long term liability. In general the dates they use are so well ahead of when the stuff would really become inedible.
Don't try to make an honest mistake into something it is not.

Okay, fair enough... what would you call it.
"What the hell is 'DHS Police'??"
I think they're aka Federal Protective Service, formerly GSA Police.

Howard's spineless condition is not a recent phenomenon. He has been known as Coward Lodding for a long time.
