Really?

This is amazing if true:
  • Per 012 midnight LT, if anyone calls in for the medical, automatic CR. I thought the medical was something we can use regardles of the day and due to medical issues like a broken wrist, leg or really hurt outside duty (accidents do happen). In the face of the troops she tries to convey that she is for them, but closed those she wants to stick it to the troops by getting them fired or suspended. She brags of how she does it and gets away with it. That's one miserable individual.

Anyone care to chime in?

Please officers, learn the use of force model.... If some guy high on drugs is swinging a golf club at you, SHOOT him with your firearm until the threat is eliminated. Why would you taser someone who is swinging a weapon at you that can kill you?
Just my two cents... A fellow 9161

Why you ask.. because I dont just kill someone because a use of force model says I can. If I can tazer dude 14 times and go home at night then so be it. Ive been in 6 shootings in my career. Im tired of being in shootings. All of the people I have shot have had a gun. With that being said now that I carry a tazer if a guy with a golf club comes at me then yes I will use my tazer first. If I can keep zapping him then I will.. Its only the pull of a trigger. Ive killed 2 people... Its not the best thing to do. I dont kill or shoot people just because I can, its not the way its done. If your gonna shoot then shoot because you absolutly have to. Yes, a golf club is deadly but you and I both know whats up and what you can do first. If you dont know what you can do before you shoot someone then you shouldnt be on this job. dont talk about shooting and killing someone if youve never done it yourself... a fellow 9161.

What makes you think you are the only one who has been in a deadly shooting? How about these apples... I survived TWO tours in Iraq and I lost count of how many people I've killed during some pretty intense firefights. The original poster wasn't trying to brag or preach, it sounded like he was trying to help. That's the problem with officers on this job, to many one way people like yourself. From your standpoint an officer shouldn't use deadly force in a warranted situation? Yes there are exigent circumstances, but we all signed up for this job knowing that the decision to take a life was a possibility. Another fellow 9161 who fought for YOUR freedom...

Wouldn't surprise me.

They need to start building a case to get out of those pension contracts that they can't afford.

That's what happens when a union agrees that the new people coming in get reduced benefits compared to the current rank and file.

Oh don't worry they say. All you guys already here, these pension reductions are only for the new guys...lol.. Then guess what? BAM After the new guys are here and trained and even though you have 10~15 years until retirement you have this high legacy pension cost hanging over your head and they don't and that makes you a target.

The people with time on get targeted for termination if they can't make things frustrating enough for you to quit on your own.

The whole system is a rigged scam. Not just the police department. I'm talking the entire phony economy with the phony employment reports and the phony GDP reports and the phony job growth reports. The manipulation of interest rates that are wiping out the pensions, social security, IRA'a and 401K's around the country. Trillions of dollars being stolen by this interest rate manipulation.

We got at a min. 24% wage and pension cuts on the way. This includes 25% cuts to the people already living in retirement poverty on social security. When all those losses start kicking in the nations GDP is going to be cut in half because there is going to be 70 million boomers in retirement with no investment income and minimal pensions to live on. It will take decades to recover from that if ever. Decades. Plan accordingly and lower your life style now cause it's coming as long as the current political leaders are running the show in favor of the corporations that have bought them all.

This is only the beginning of the great depression two point oh. Don't kid yourself. When we read about these events in history we think that they lasted a few months. I mean like how many pages did it take up in our history books right? Blink of an eye right? Heh, watch.

I think you better get your facts straight. Lt said she would get a cr on someone who was denied time due and then decided to go on the medical because they wanted the day off. Lts are told by XO and deputy how many people are allowed time on weekends now. It is out of their control. I have worked for this Lt off and on for several years and have always thought she was very fair. Their hands are tied with allowing time off these days. If a fellow PO is denied time and then calls in sick, it screws the rest of the watch. It also causes resentment among us because someone else probably was denied and had to come to work. A PO who goes on medical because he was denied should be subjected to at least some discipline.

If this is true, she is in idiot. Granted when you go to Sgts. School you are taught that a CR is not a form of discipline, rahter it is viewed as an "investigation" of an alleged act of misconduct. However,if this Lt. initiates CRs and a pattern emerges, for example she targets, white males, or latino males; then it is she who may end up with a CR and lawsuit. So Baby Bring it On; it will be your ass on the line and the "Company" will leave you hanging out to dry. Years ago there was a Captain at the Medical Section who played Dr. and sent a P.O. back to work way to soon following a heart attack. The officer was walking his beat and dropped dead. The Capt. got dumped and sent into exile spending the rest of his miserable life in fear of being financially ruined and giving depositions because that lawsuit opened the flood gates for everyone he had sent back too early. He used to wander the Medical Secion looking at P.O.s and deciding on the spot if they were fit enough to return to duty! His kid was another ass who rose to the rank of Capatain, also an IAD Pussy. Apparently stupidity is genetics with some bosses.

Why is the inspector putting sole responsiblity for the increase in shootings on the police, like they can control the actions of armed, dangerous, threatening persons they encounter in all situations? No police officer wants to have to use deadly force unless absolutely necessary. The causes of more shootings are the increased willingness of members of our society to resort to violent acts against each other, forcing the police into these situations,Californias early release of violent criminals back into society, the proliferation of handguns, break down of the family structure, weakening of moral values, increase of narcissism, and a general disrespect for the law and authority and lack of fear of being arrested and prosecuted for violent acts.Also, how many of the persons shot by the police were under the influence of drugs, alcohol or mental illness? All the police states in history were preceeded by a general state of lawlessness, violence and anarchy. If the libs truly want to avoid a police state with draconian measures, they need to work for a safer society instead of undermining the police. When attacks on our police increase, no one is safe.

If it's so bad to work there and handle two or three jobs aweek, just do ato from and come to the ghetto where you have 30 per tour. Plenty of people are lined up to take your spot, all of whom would gladly work for the 1st w lt.

2-3 jobs a week . No way 12 is not slow like that....

I don't know this woman but it sounds like it was taken out of context. As a sgt who has been the DSS I have taken calls from officers who want the next day off and were told no due to many officers being off. Their response was they would go on medical tomorrow instead. Now there are officers who pride themselves on never using the medical that was not the case in this situation. The officer was plenty familiar with the medical. Going on the medical in and of itself is not a violation of any rules or regulations. I think most of us have disdain for medical abusers and are concerned for those officers who are truly ill.

an officer cannot be denied the use of the medical roll

Funny story There was an officer I worked with in Summer Mobile

The guy was late every fucking day
And I mean EVERY DAY

The bosses were getting fed up with him

One day he calls and asks for an hour on the front

The Sergeant ( an asshole by the way, but in this case he was right), denies it


So the officer says, " Then put me on the medical"

The Sergeant says, " I don't believe you're sick"

The Officer says, " I don't believe you're a doctor."

Can anyone say 'Hostile work environment?' If you call in sick, isn't there some protection for your medical issue that is protected by HIPPA? I could see if someone calls in sick every weekend or something, that it would raise flags. But if that person has substance abuse issues or stress-related issues, aren't those considered medical diagnoses?

Coppers with substance abuse problems kill themselves far too often because even though the medical community has declared it a disease, people are looked upon as weak, or without willpower, or as having bad characters. There is the burden of the disease and the added burden of the stigma.

Where is the compassion? Or a positive solution to issues like that as opposed to the accusatory stance?

Fuck her. When I'm sick my ass is on the couch or in bed, not out singing karaoke or at Great America.

I'm not talking about the abusers, I'm talking about people with mental health issues.

I myself feel so stressed and am working so much overtime, I seriously don't know how long I can keep up the pace. I can see why people crack--the workload is unfathomable and the expectations of bosses completely unrealistic.

The problem with tazing the crab out of a guy is some douche bag lawyer will claim torture. That being said I too have killed in the line of duty and it's no small undertaking. The law is on your side if you decide to shoot. No need to flare up the mussels guys. We are all on the side of justice. Bottom line, can YOU live with your decision? That's the measure of it. We've all had times when it's justified , but is it worth so many sleepless nights? The decision to end a life is not one to be taken lightly. I find the most " bad ass " talking guys never dropped the hammer and had to live with it. If your struggling with it or the prospects of it, may I suggest you consult Rabbie Moshe Wolf or Father Dan Brandt?

Why you ask.. because I dont just kill someone because a use of force model says I can. If I can tazer dude 14 times and go home at night then so be it. Ive been in 6 shootings in my career. Im tired of being in shootings. All of the people I have shot have had a gun. With that being said now that I carry a tazer if a guy with a golf club comes at me then yes I will use my tazer first. If I can keep zapping him then I will.. Its only the pull of a trigger. Ive killed 2 people... Its not the best thing to do. I dont kill or shoot people just because I can, its not the way its done. If your gonna shoot then shoot because you absolutly have to. Yes, a golf club is deadly but you and I both know whats up and what you can do first. If you dont know what you can do before you shoot someone then you shouldnt be on this job. dont talk about shooting and killing someone if youve never done it yourself... a fellow 9161.

From your standpoint an officer shouldn't use deadly force in a warranted situation? Yes there are exigent circumstances, but we all signed up for this job knowing that the decision to take a life was a possibility. Another fellow 9161 who fought for YOUR freedom...

Wow, you two are like immortal warriors! We are all impressed! I myself have been in so many firefights I had to hire an assistant to keep track and a secretary to stamp body counts onto my 1973 dodge Malibu. I wasn't even a soldier, I went with chuck Norris to the jungles of Malaysia and we took care of business! We ate rats and shaved each others backs when we got too hairy! Sometimes we would spoon with our victims for warmth. Then I came to Chicago and became a cop. I refused to take a car every day because I was too tough for one, I'm so tough in fact when I will it the ground moves under my feet and I get where I want it. My first mission on this department was getting rid of the insane mafia conservative dragon lords, I did such a good job that I erased them from everyone's memories and I did it with just myself, a bottle of tequila, some cinnamon toothpaste and I'll will.

So Baby Bring it On; it will be your ass on the line and the "Company" will leave you hanging......

I think you better get your facts straight. Lt said she would get a cr on someone who was denied time due and then decided to go on the medical because they wanted the day off. Lts are told by XO and deputy how many people are allowed time on weekends now. It is out of their control. I have worked for this Lt off and on for several years and have always thought she was very fair. Their hands are tied with allowing time off these days. If a fellow PO is denied time and then calls in sick, it screws the rest of the watch. It also causes resentment among us because someone else probably was denied and had to come to work. A PO who goes on medical because he was denied should be subjected to at least some discipline.

7/05/2012 09:05:00 AM

I agree. We all have had our time denied during the course of our careers and during the summer it is usually restricted. Going on the medical when you're not sick is selfish and messes up everyone else on the watch.

Bosses think that their tenure, way of doing things and reputation doesn't follow but, it does form a pattern. IAD knows that pattern, give them a name and IAD knows already what possible thing that boss is capable of. POs run scare and yet they can do more damage than anything else. The police department is a workplace and people forget that. Bosses need to remember that respect and care is followed by example. If you shit on your troops, what do want in return? When an officer fails is because all around him fail him and that's what we forget. A watch should be considered a team. There's no "I" in team and to try to have favorites it only demoralizes a watch.

To get a CR is NOT THE END OF WORLD. God, people stop running scared if someone is bullying you, abusing you, slandering you at work, stand up!! Don't wait until these people run you out of this job. Have seen too many people been runned out because of fear. IAD knows each one of these bosses, they all got paper trail that we don't always know about. You might be the 10th person complaining and the more people complain the better, people who have behavioral problems or can be suicidal shouldn't be leading troops. In reality, you wouldn't be doing anything more than telling this person that they are wrong for abusing their power, targeting you and just leave you alone. It is not unfounded when you go through a process, you get interviewed and assessment gets taken by the local Human Civil Rights places (City or Federal) and they will file the charges to initiate the CR on your behalf and you will not stand alone. Those representatives go over with you everything and tell you before anything if you have a legit complaint. Everyday we fight to keep people safe, this job is hard enough, no one needs to be treated badly at work. I find it hilarious that someone thinks that life is over as you know it for filing a CR. Yeah, that doesn't happen, it actually can prevent those bosses from further promotion and also make a better workplace for others. IAD loves to tackle those issues.

Agreements are always taken to the table, part of that agreement could be behavioral services or even anger management for those bosses. Some people who wear those white shirts do needed, they forget as they climb up that blue shirts are the core of police work. Stupidity is to take it and suffer, that's why people commit suicide. There's nothing worse for a white shirt to have in their file EO complaints, always remember that. They can make you fear them, but that's card they fear and more because probably you are never the first person to complain about them and there's a file about them already about their poor labor practices and NO YOU will not be sent to the feds(wishful thinking).

I think you better get your facts straight. Lt said she would get a cr on someone who was denied time due and then decided to go on the medical because they wanted the day off. Lts are told by XO and deputy how many people are allowed time on weekends now. It is out of their control. I have worked for this Lt off and on for several years and have always thought she was very fair. Their hands are tied with allowing time off these days. If a fellow PO is denied time and then calls in sick, it screws the rest of the watch. It also causes resentment among us because someone else probably was denied and had to come to work. A PO who goes on medical because he was denied should be subjected to at least some discipline.

and here's the next super....Super what? you make it up..

15 years in Fillmore would like to salute you..F U! ..

I survived TWO tours in Iraq and I lost count of how many people I've killed during some pretty intense firefights

Bullshit!

I did tours in Bosnia and Iraq in the 90's and remember exactly how many times I had to shoot to kill.

If you have any sense of conscience you remember it all.

A) If someone has a mental or substance abuse problem, they should not be on the job. Period.

And my answer:

Well, don't they deserve treatment before you send them packing with a sleeping bag to an underpass?

There are a lot of successful people who've beat addiction or can manage their depression and function very well. You can no more choose those conditions than cancer or MS. And there are a lot of people on the job with medical conditions such as MS or cancer who have been carried and looked after by some compassionate bosses.
--------

B) Stop working so much OT and get some rest. The medical is not the JJJ Exhaustion clinic. Besides, what good will you be to your family if you are continually tired.

My answer:

My OT is not chosen---it's extension of tours with arrests I am ASSIGNED. Can't really say, 'ok, I don't really want to take that job, or I'll handle the job, but only if I can be home by 9. Hold papers are not an option sometimes.

When you are the only one on the floor and your boss tells you to go somewhere you go. I wouldn't sign up for OT if they paid me TRIPLE time. I really feel like stress is shortening my life. And I know PO's and SGT's and all are in the same boat. It's because we're too FUCKING shorthanded, period, and we, the bottom of the barrel, are paying the price while the upper bosses enjoy front seat sporting events and dining at the best steakhouses in town.

In your case, you gotta learn to say "no." I have in a polite manner and slowly people get it. There's always a new watch coming on who is fresh and they can take the arrest. Don't let people push you over when it is happening all the time. Get some rest!!! The people who keep doing this to you, always go to bed on time and relaxing on your expense. And no they won't always promote you, so get your rest.

Oh yeah, I agree they should get help, but they shouldn't be allowed to be in charge of anything for awhile. Sometimes I think that it will be best to change their environment for the sake of everyone and as a stress decrease for those struggling.

It's just a bad time for patrol. Patrol is the main core of police work but, yet those priveledged get put in cushy desk jobs and patrol gets forgotten. The people in the communities refer to police work by the image of a patrolman and yet those out there making traffic stops, name checks and dealing with baby momma drama, well they get to be seen like a burden for the cushion jobs, bosses and that should not be the case. If people wanted a cushion job then go back to corporate america. I always thought a cop is hired and is out there in the street dealing with things, making a direct difference in communities.

The medical integrity unit? seriously? i still remember when they were all sent back and cleaned out for themselves being corrupt and doing the abusing. Oh yeah that little scandal barely even made it somewhere in the blog. If anyone is fighting for their jobs because of those goofs, they should research. Perhaps those filing the charges against them are part of that unit being cleaned out and their lawyer needs that info. And you know what happened when the medical integrity unit was found doing the abusing? absolutely nothing, just sent back to the district. Now that's BS while they probably costed other POs their careers. Funny how that works, huh?

Be careful people! The medical integrity unit has sent many a coppers tot he board fighting for their jobs in the past year. Take a look these guys are not playing around.
If you are really sick or injured then ok but do not roll the dice with these head hunters. They will get you.

This is classic, was not there, would not be there and yet wants to judge. And many times the same 9161 will not even do half of an officer reaction and freeze. Seen it too many times. Plus, if you kill anyone even if justify then you will face a lawsuit and be dragged for years and hope you can survive it in today's administration. Do what your instict, gut tells you and if the officer went home fine then stop the critizing. If the officer needed to shoot then he would of shot. There's even supervisors that wouldn't even use a tazer, so he did fine. Next time we will tell the crazies with a gold club to come looking for you because you know to shoot them, ok? Until then keep your gun hostelred.

Please officers, learn the use of force model.... If some guy high on drugs is swinging a golf club at you, SHOOT him with your firearm until the threat is eliminated. Why would you taser someone who is swinging a weapon at you that can kill you?
Just my two cents... A fellow 9161

Why you ask.. because I dont just kill someone because a use of force model says I can. If I can tazer dude 14 times and go home at night then so be it. Ive been in 6 shootings in my career. Im tired of being in shootings. All of the people I have shot have had a gun. With that being said now that I carry a tazer if a guy with a golf club comes at me then yes I will use my tazer first. If I can keep zapping him then I will.. Its only the pull of a trigger. Ive killed 2 people... Its not the best thing to do. I dont kill or shoot people just because I can, its not the way its done. If your gonna shoot then shoot because you absolutly have to. Yes, a golf club is deadly but you and I both know whats up and what you can do first. If you dont know what you can do before you shoot someone then you shouldnt be on this job. dont talk about shooting and killing someone if youve never done it yourself... a fellow 9161.

Wow, you two are like immortal warriors! We are all impressed! I myself have been in so many firefights I had to hire an assistant to keep track and a secretary to stamp body counts onto my 1973 dodge Malibu. I wasn't even a soldier, I went with chuck Norris to the jungles of Malaysia and we took care of business! We ate rats and shaved each others backs when we got too hairy! Sometimes we would spoon with our victims for warmth. Then I came to Chicago and became a cop. I refused to take a car every day because I was too tough for one, I'm so tough in fact when I will it the ground moves under my feet and I get where I want it. My first mission on this department was getting rid of the insane mafia conservative dragon lords, I did such a good job that I erased them from everyone's memories and I did it with just myself, a bottle of tequila, some cinnamon toothpaste and I'll will.


Hilarious!!!

Slow down in 012??? HAHA Now that is funny. Why would you even hit the medical working in 012? Nothing happens there

7/05/2012 06:21:00 AM

You fucking jagoff, ask Brian Strouse or his family about how nothing happens in 012.


With all respect to Officer Strouse, where was the rest of his team that night???

I live in Pilsen and yeah it's not what it used to be 10-15 years ago, but everytime there's a call of SHOTSF or PERSONS, where do I see cars flying in from, NORTH OF THE VIADUCT!!!

Most of the officers in 012 are older guys that did their time somewhere busy n now are enjoying a quieter district. However there are plenty of officers w less than 10 years on that got lucky getting there n have no fukin clue or give a fuk bout what goes on in Pilsen.

For you officers that live in 016 n 022 and bitch about how there's no police service/presence in your homes, remember some of us live in other districts.

Hey dickhead they were there. Brian was out of the car on surveilence in the alley on car to car when he confronted the gangbanger and was shot in the head.

And for your information, the district is bigger than just Pilsen, they still need police in ALBA, Taylor st, St. Stephens Buildings, touhy herbert park, etc.

As of about Aug 1st, the merge with 013 happens and the district doubles in size so you'll see more cars coming from north of the viaduct...
