Spot the Contradiction

Remember, this is a "Violence Reduction Initiative Program," paying time-and-one-half.

But crime is down.

Huh?

This sums it up nicely:
  • So are you telling me, I need comp time/ time 1/2 so bad that I would give up my weekends denied ( which are already denied )to get a break from the dump I already work in and the assholes I work for, to be placed in another shit hole, possibly "foot patrol" on third watch, in a district I'm not familiar with and with someone from those cushy districts who can't deal with a west side/ south savage? Only to make an arrest so that I can be treated like the outside goof by the DSS/ XO because I VOLUNTEERED for this? Um, NOT! Not worth my time, the law suits, the angry bosses, the miserable family at home, and me- the disgruntled police who lives, eats, and sleep shit, I D T S!

Can't wait.

The number one killer in cops is "Stress." The bills will always be there instead, find another outlet like acting, painting, cooking or just spending time alone reading a good book to release the stessors at work.
Spending your day off working in the ghetto not worth it.

Yep, the claim is "CRIME IS DOWN", but they want more officers on the street. The time-and-a-half banana being dangled in the faces of coppers who aren't smart enough to budget and not live outside their means is proof positive of this hypocrisy in practice.

No, WE AREN'T SHORT ON MANPOWER, but they're limiting elective time off and reducing the length of authorized furlough extensions.

And speaking of contradiction in it's most glaring of examples, I look forward to McINeedAnAbacus reuniting with Pfather Pfilanthropist this week. I predict a continuation of pandering where the first episode left off; blame assigned to everyone and everything other than the true sources.

These two phoniest of phony cocksuckers need to publicly acknowlege their spiritual kinship, declare a Rahm-orchestrated BFF-ship, and get it over with already. It'd make for an interesting dining experience to see the Superintendo joining hands with "Fatha Mike" and his entourage of thugs for a pre-meal prayer at Carmichaels.

And what are you handling when the shitheads over there have no fear of the police, shoot each other and deal dope openly all day and laugh in your face. Believe it or not, some of the better police officers work in these "soft" districts because a) there is more to police work than out yelling the savages on a domestic and 2) they were smart enough to transfer out of the ghetto when they could.

I realize we all have money issues and a chance at over time seems like a great idea. For me, the money would be great but the downside is worse. Drive from the far north side to XXXX SOUTH Racine. Sounds like fun. Gas @ $4 a gallon to and from there, the aggravation and danger of savage gang bangers who's community doesn't even want you there, treated like crap by the majority of micromanaging- clueless-merit CPD bosses, most likely in a non functioning air conditioning vehicle with 100,000 miles on it on a 95 degree day, open yourself up to CR heaven jeopardizing your job, having a states attorney try to falsely prosecute you for bogus civil rights violations, have countless cell phone cameras recording you from every corner, and for a mayor who will F**K us on our next contract. They could make it double time and my eyes still wouldn't even flinch. Sure I need the money but my life, job security, and my blood pressure is more important. I'll enjoy my day off attending a SOX game with the free tickets we received or bring my kids to the Dells. This department wants to wave a few bucks in our face for this overtime like we are desperate fools instead of putting recruits in the academy! What's the point ----its going to be just taxed at such a high rate you'll be giving it to the lazy, no-job "undesirables" you are going to be serving on your day off. No thanks Supe!

You probably are divorced, have too many kids, bought a car or house out of your means and I will guess a drunk or gambler. What you idiots don't realize is that if everyone did not work any overtime housing, oh are, Obama, or any type the mayor would be fucked and we would have some leverage. That would mean you would actually have to look a year ahead and not worry about your retro check all the things Rahm knows the average cop who is like the average civilian a idiot will not do. 19 year p.o.

Funny, like most other comments, why set yourself up for the number of negatives that can happen for what, a little overtime? 53/55 dollars an hour? Dealing with savages and shit bosses who are stressed out from the powers that be? The negatives outweigh the positives ten fold!

Worked SS shit area for several years, tact/gang team bs, and realized no matter how hard I worked, things weren't changing ever in these neighborhoods. Too much ignorance there. And what, watch the people I worked for continue to get promoted while I deal with the savages? Sorry, got out of there and am more happier than ever to actually help real victims with real problems. Sounds cheesy, but it's the truth!

I guess having your kids in catholic school, sports, and summer camp, so they have a better education, stay in good physical shape, and have something to do over the summer is living out your means. Go fuck your yourself westside do nothing. Not all coppers piss their money away, some just want to give their kids a better life in a decent home in a decent neighborhood so they can be productive in the future. If you need the money, work it, if not, then don't. Half the people saying "don't do anything" are the same people that haven't done anything their whole career.

Only Happy When I Bitch Crowd,
You’re crying that they disbanded the likes such as SOS, TRU and MSF. Now, they created the Crime Reduction Initiative and you’re bitching about it. Excuse me but you can’t have it both ways. For those old enough to remember working these units were staffed mostly with those who did nothing but grab the first head then go to lunch anywhere in the city. Just like the Pareto’s principle (80/20 rule) it’s only 20% that do the real work but now were suppose to believe that because you need to prove you’re a worker and it’s at overtime pay that every blue shirts won’t work? Sounds like bunk! So what if more “Older” Officers will bid the new unit the 20% workers will still be working. That is unless you’re claiming no one with over ten years does anything on this job!

Dear 03:13am, you are correct, no one should lecture you. I, and I'm guessing other fellow officers,have only one request. Please stop wasting your money, and discontinue your membership to the F.O.P. Surely you can find a better use for the monthly dues you pay. All issues coming to the forefront in recent times are manpower related. Running from job to job to job? Denied time due? Commanders suddenly citing G.O.s on furlough extensions? First/Third watch cars going out as 99? And it has taken time, but the media may have started to notice. CBS Evening News did a story on Chicago and the increase in murders. So please, feel free to give the city the chance to solve their problem in the most cost effective way possible, while ignoring the core problem of a department that has lost a third of its' manpower in just over a decade.

ok, keep tellin yourself that son. Ive met people who have worked in 016, 017, 020 etc for their entire career... clueless. And no, they are not good coppers. Im not trying to sound like a hardass at all. By no means am I some "gung ho badass west side ranger" who runs and guns and kick skulls around all day. Ive been on long enough that you dont judge a guy because hes a hard charger or not... You judge people about how they interact, talk to you at work and have fun or not. all the 5 year kids think that anyone who runs and guns is a god.. when in reality they might be a hard worker but a complete hand job. BUT, I have worked with some people who came into units with a phone call who worked in some of the above listed districts and went to 005, 006, 011, 015, 007 and freaked out at every little thing. calling ten ones when they hear gunshots in the distance(true story, happened when the brownings were still up and gunshots usually happened every 20 min). They have no idea how to talk to the animal... not scream and motherf*ck him every second but actually talk to the animal. The animal talks back to them and they look like a lost puppy who doesnt know what to do. not to mention if they get a good felony arrest.. well, that will take them about 10 hours to do because they are clueless.. now a days I really dont care if your a hard charger or not. but, if you take a group of guys who worked in 007, 003, 011, 015 for an entire career against a group of guys who have been hiding in 016, 020 or 017 the entire career you know exactly who is the better guy to have on the street and get stuff done. dont try to compare a guy who has had to work in the fast districts to someone working in sleepy hollow. to be frank... they dont know what the hell they are doing. I drive up to some of those districts and its pathetic. and i dont mean ALL COPPERS IN THESE DISTRICTS AT ALL.. LET THAT BE CLEAR. THERE ARE GREAT POLICE OFFICERS IN EVERY DISTRICT... but, lets not get nuts because your statement is a bunch of crap. youve got nothing on a guy who has done it and still does it everyday. but hey, every copper in this city thinks he is the greatest copper in the world...just ask him

Slightly OT, has the dept secured the lot in the old 007 yet? I don't think that Thor Soderberg would want anybody using that lot until it is secure. Keep your eyes on a swivel and your senses sharp. That lot is not safe.

I'll sum it up nicely for you. Who gives a fuck what you think. I'm going to work this OT initiative because I need the money. I have my reasons, and they are none of your business.
Who cares what some DSS or XO thinks? I mean really?!? Are you that insecure? Are your reports that fucked up?
Time to move on with your life. You only have one life and you are wasting it here. Why? For some measly pension?
I may be giving up a few weekends for some OT cash, but you are wasting a lifetime in a job you obviously hate. Don't lecture me.

That money you made is already spent and you will still be in the same predicament.

Please...the original poster needs the money, so leave him alone. Whether it is b/c his kids are in college and no help from the other parent, or b/c hospital bills, or whatever...there is NOTHING wrong with working OT. Maybe do it just to put the money away towards retirement. I applaud this P.O.!

Who the fuck is this "West Side Inside Do Nothing". I mean who the fuck are you? You are going to lecture to some of us on how to manage our finances? And if we work the overtime offered to us then we are stupid and don't know how to manage our finances? A BIG FUCK YOU DICK HEAD.

I need the money and sure it will be stressful but I am going to do it.

We all need the money, but it's people like you that enable the city's policy of keeping us undermanned, thus making all of our lives harder and more dangerous.
I hope that your thirty pieces of silver brings you happiness.

hahaha, i agree with the first poster. Go ahead and pout and boycott and stamp your feet about how your not going to work it. So what... dont work it. But when I do work it I will be doing nothing and getting time and a half. You say "i hope your thirty pieces of silver get you happiness".... spare me the crap. Welcome to real life. Ive got 4 kids two of which are in high school. Not happiness but real life. That check will be helping pay tuition for the fall for marist and st rita. stand on your soap box all you want but i need all the court and special I can get. Its not my fault youve saved all your pennies from living in moms basement. Some people need to bust their ass and work extra in order to get by in life.... Now, Ive already signed up for june, when will the july dates be released because im all over it baby!!! cha ching! now to the whiney dogs... go in a corner and cry to eachother. even if they get zero people to sign up for this thing all summer they still arent gonna hire more coppers..FACT.

I guess having your kids in catholic school, sports, and summer camp, so they have a better education, stay in good physical shape, and have something to do over the summer is living out your means. Go fuck your yourself westside do nothing. Not all coppers piss their money away, some just want to give their kids a better life in a decent home in a decent neighborhood so they can be productive in the future. If you need the money, work it, if not, then don't. Half the people saying "don't do anything" are the same people that haven't done anything their whole career.


couldnt have written it better myself... well said sir.

i will apply for this ot opportunity. i don't give a #$%^ what other people have to say about it because i do need the money. mr. "westside inside do-nothing" makes an ignorant comment about coppers who can't budget within their means. don't speak for coppers who suffered emergency hardships. i know officers who genuinely need the money because of hospital bills and now one of the parents can't work anymore. so keep your ignorant comments to yourself and don't work the ot then. i am all for hiring more officers but this will not change 9.5's plan on not hiring.

thats because inside do nothing is exactly that... not to mention his intense love for his mothers basement... he even hooked up cool christmas lights he hangs around the ceiling down there. I heard next week he might get a mini fridge down there.... sweeeeetttttttt

It's not about being tough or not. It's about going home to your kids at the end of the shift. These New York bastards don't give a shit about you or I. Their crime strategies don't work in Chicago. All I'm saying is if you need the money, Please be safe out there. Tough old Blue Blood

Everyone can make their own decision on this, for their own reasons. But the bottom line is if you do this you are somewhat of a scab.

Now you can argue that its no different than Sp.Employment, and in fact it is better because at least it is at time and a half. But at least with Sp.employment it is year round, seven days a week.

They are using you when they need you and in the long run it will endanger us all. Do you want backup to be minutes away because there aren't enough police officers on the street on a regular basis? Because that is what this is, you are a sell-out.

Sorry but this is an opportunity to make cash,myself as a 26 year veteran could get it if I want it,but both my kids graduated college,and now it is time ti let the younger coppers make some dough! You know what is bullshit? the copper who thinks "all for me", the old greedy bastard who sucks up every OT thing they can even when they don't need it!
I know a copper retired about 3 years ago worked everything,has 3 MILLION in the bank,but you know what? he is not happy now,and was not happy then!
Advice for the young coppers TAKE IT WHILE IT IS THERE! It is $335.. TAKE HOME! It really helps pay tuition, use for a vacation from this shithole! There I said it!!

Aw, did my wittle McScabby comments hurt your wittle feelings? Sign up for all the "only when we absolutely need you" overtime you can get and then wonder why you are eating cat food when you are 70 years old because there is no pension fund left because they never hired anyone to pay into it. Look at the bigger picture. You want to make overtime, make an arrest late in the tour and go to court.

West Side, Inside, Do Nothing

Once again proving to be the worlds biggest jag off.
Maybe that is why you lost that FOP election? Nice of Mike to put you on Political Action Committee though.
I noticed in your Blogger profile you claim to push a beat car. Did you get booted of the desk? I thought you would have the time to stay on the desk or were you a management scab?
