Billiken Nonsense

No, not the parade. That was pretty much as it always is - disorganized, late, overwrought, etc.

We're talking about the complete disregard for the posted order. It read how "administrative personnel" were supposed to be utilized for the District draw (how many officers each District sent to the parade excluding tactical teams). In fact, this was why all house mice were placed into either Friday/Saturday or Sunday/Monday day off groups - to use them for parades, details and special events. McCarthy even said he didn't care if the paperwork stacked up, officers were going to be on the street if needed.

But low and behold, many Districts ended up sending extra watch officers to satisfy the District draw since the administrative personnel were granted elective time off with astonishingly little notice or static from downtown.

Remember, we can't get time off during the week for previously scheduled events and you can forget about it on weekends. But the front offices can bail on a less desirable event and screw the entire watch by shorting the District anywhere from two to six bodies.

The house mice in units are allowed to take time for ALL the weekend details in the busy summer season. Not just for Bud Billiken, but for any event in which they will have to work more than four or five hours. Oh, the humanity! They have to work six hours of an eight hour tour!

In 013 we have a officer who is 1 of 3 p.os that sits in the time keepers office while we only have 4 cars working on days well J.C you lost a lot of respect for the shit you pulled with bud biliken what the fuck happened to you. I would say I'm surprised the commander let you get away with it, but between you and K.C. Walking around with his cubs jersey doing nothing but changing the stats for compstat I'm not surprised.

They are not the only ones either apparently get a load of this we can now refuse to accept assigned jobs .... On zone 1 the dispatcher assigned a shoplifting job to a tac team in 017. 1761c refused to go and stated" we don't do shoplifters....." the dispatcher stated 017 was in a backlog and she needed to get the job out. She asked 1761c " are you refusing to take the job". The response a plain and simple "yes". No supervisor came up. No one ordered them to take their assigned job. My partner and I immeditely started compiling a list of jobs we don't want to do either. We are trying to figure which supervisor we should give it to in 016..... After all if some 5 yr hair gel wonder can decide which jobs they deem worthy of responding too maybe we should too.. Any openings in 017??? My partner and I were so shocked we almost hit a train.....but we won't go there

Yes of course commander Pena in 010 sent only officers from the watch, must be nice to be one of her suck holes and have they day off. It's funny how some of her staff doesn't have enough time to make bid on 1st watch but can get the bud off! Wonder why the chosen 12 PO's had to sell to get their spots, if you like following orders so much, quit hiding people you merit hack! Follow the order that cut the admin staff!!! Send them back to watch and let em answer jobs and help us out a bit! You should be fired for not following direct orders! O yea, guess it was XO White's decision since Pena was off again! Good thing I can't take time! Can't wait till these bosses r GONE! Rant Over.

Ha! They should ask the 019 district tac team to take it...that's all some (not all) of these kids do is jump on the air and volunteer to take the shop lifter calls.

Find it interesting that President Obama had his $40,000 a plate birthday dinner and just a short distance away his own Black fellow Americans are baraely scraping by. The folks who will vote for Barry in November are just Democrat Zombies who don't know any better. Add in a number of Hispanic voters and drooling Liberal Whites. While Barry and his wealthy guest dine on the best there are so many trying to put a dinner on the table and worry about food for the next day. Getting clothes for their kids and school supplys. Hoping their kids won't get shot in the head in gang cross fire. And those folks forking down that $40,000 a plate are not just doing it for nothing. They all WANT something from the Democrat White House. And they WILL get what they want. Obama is that true Oreo. Black on the outside and truly White on the inside. And Michelle says..."let them eat cake".

1)Listen...if you see the bullshit that SOME people stay down on in 017 that their sergents don't call them on, you'd shake your head to.

2) I think 1761c sounds like has a lot of time on this job, he is above taking shoplifters, he's "old school" YOU BOW DOWN to him, hairgels.



3)i doubt someone from 016 wrote the above comment, probly one of the two faced sergents on midnights , 016 has other things to worry about

4)leave the tac guys alone, a few times I have asked some tac guys for help and they helped me out.

5) supervisors job to make them take the job, they get paid to do that!

Our west side district has all (but 1 (F/S)) of the front office help in S/S so they were absolutely no help.
3PPO's from the watch, 5PO's from the watch to bud.

As I asked in a different thread -- If all of those 8 officers wanted time due, would it have been granted, or denied due to 'manpower'? After all, they weren't in the district preventing crime.

All overtime for bud was captured under a special event number, which means money comes out of a different pocket. That being said, why wasn't bud an overtime initiative?

Speaking of overtime initiatives, the ON duty personnel assigned to BHO today (several from each district), are also being paid for out of a different pocket. So 3 PO's from our district sent to BHO and someone else is picking up the tab for those 3 officers. Hey since they are getting the $$$ why isn't this an off duty gig?

Regarding 1761c refusing to take a shoplifter, I guess you could say that its the supervisor's job to order 1761c not to refuse. No matter though really. That notification is supposed to go straight up to the 1st deputy's office, and its been that way for decades. The entire district system is built with the understanding that nobody on a district radio car is authorized to refuse an assignment, though a supervisor can order that some assignments be held.

Gotta wonder if that notification was even made. Theoretically its supposed to result in all sorts of holy hell.

Makes all the sense in the world if you bother to hold this buffoon president accountable for all the lies he's told to a bunch of illiterate worshipers.

That includes our spineless union for claiming the 'vote' in our ranks in '08 went his favor and our local voted nationally to endorsed Oblabla.

That's only partially why FOP is on its back flailing while the public keeps weasels like Quinn and Rahm(it) in power.

To the original poster from 016 regarding 1761C...You must have missed the first half of the radio transmission from 1761C. The dispatcher asked if he was available for a shoplifter and he related "No, we are on a narcotics investigation." Then the onslaught began between the dispatcher and the twenty year veteran who works 1761C. If you are such a great policeman, you possess tne knowledge to check the activity 1761c generates as well as their team. The numbers don't lie. They do a lot of good work on the 1761 Team and a lot of search warrants which are the result of "Narcotics Investigations." You are probably the same numb nuts copper who puts up negative posts regarding coppers not doing enough investigating prior to executing a search warrant.
