Cover for the Clouted

How do assholes like this slip through the cracks so easily?
  • When Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel holds a news conference, Gene McNeil is the city employee who makes sure the sound system runs smooth.

    But the veteran city employee was a little too smooth with the ladies, police reports indicate.

    McNeil was arrested twice since 2005 for allegedly soliciting undercover cops who were posing as prostitutes. One of those arrests came while he was on the clock for taxpayers, he acknowledged.

    McNeil, 55, was not convicted in either case; the arresting officers for some reason didn’t show up, so the cases were thrown out, court records show.

Anyone want to bet as to why the Officer didn't show up? Rahm, of course, didn't know anything and retreats behind a protective curtain of bullshit:

  • When asked about McNeil, an Emanuel press aide said this was the first she heard of his troubles. But within an hour, word came down that McNeil was being transferred to other duties, at least for the time being.
Gee, sounds like a page from Shortshanks' book. Remember, this is a guy with almost immediate access to the mayor and the political power structure.

I'm sure Shields can explain. From one asshole to another. How did Shields slip through the cracks? After reading his (former) secretary's account of his behavior, how much is this going to cost the membership?

Hey mike, you hear that? It's the sound of any political aspirations you had going up in flames. You better learn how to turn on a pdt, ya douche.

The asshole who you refer to is "connected" by his clout. Find out who his Chinaman is and ask that pusshead why this pervert is working for the city making 8$85,000 a year.

Weren't these incidents pre-Rahm?

2005 and 2007 are square in Dick Daley's reign.

and as for being "reassigned" to other duties
means Get Lost and Hide' if You
don't see him, You can't ask embarresing questions for the mayor and his junta
they don't have to worry though
there isn't a reporter in this town since royko died and terkel that would ask those questions
they too busy trying to line to give "lapdances"

Make no mistake this is a plum assignment. McNeil is heavily clouted to get on this detail, with access to the Mayor and on the day shift.

The IBEW PAC fills a lot of political kitties of local politicians. They have been very generous to the Green Team of usual suspects: Cullerton, Madigan, and Burke.

The incidents happened in 2005, long before RE became mayor. I wonder why it's being brought up now?

Interesting how the biased media report states this guy is "a little too smooth with the ladies." Huh? Picking up whores is being smooth with the ladies? If he was so smooth then he wouldn't have to pick up whores!

Who the f*ck is this guy? If that was a copper, his head would be on the chopping block--and this guy just gets TRANSFERRED????

I was whistled in by a big boss many years ago to make a case go away--I was young and didn't know better, and went along with the plan.

Now I know better. If that ever happens, make sure you document who called you in, and what was said, immediately. Put it in a word document so it's time/date stamped.

If you're in a position where you feel you have to go along, send that doc to numerous people you trust. Because if the shit ever hits the fan, whoever gave you the nod to do 'whatever' will throw you under the bus in a heartbeat.

Protect yourselves out there, and be safe. God bless us all, especially in these hard times.

Officers dont show up in court? What happened to them? Reprimand at the most most likely. The department should come down on them like a ton of bricks and then go to the states attorney and get the case reinstated. But, you know that wont happen.

How many people are in callback, stripped, for making a mistake on the street? For years? For slapping someone? Slapping bad according to department. But what WILL NOT get you stripped is destroying your boyfriends car(slashing tires, keying)cause you mad, using your higher rank to threaten his job and beating your kids with an electrical cord until DCFS gets involved. This is acceptable behavior to the department, right former captain of days in 007/former commander of 011? Clout rules

Why this brings back memories of a certain toothless Hillbilly District Commander on the far Northside that got a weekly pass whenever he wanted a "date" on Lincoln or North Avenue!! Of course he was forced to retire with a fat pension.

As long as he wasn't packing a zucchini in his pants or carrying a bag of tomatoes he's OK with Rahmbo.

Meanwhile where's Rahm? At the $40,000 a plate Obama fun-raiser I guess?!

Raping the city of more of it's trickle down wealth.

Nothing new here. When I was in Narcotics, a copper TWICE got caught picking up whores. His punishment? Sent to work inside for an at the time Deputy Sup. I'm sure he's somewhere in a cream spot today.

Really? Try this on many cepartments in other cities or in the suburbs and see what happens. A criminal case is dismissed because the arresting officer did not show up in court, and for a case that involves someone clouted. This smacks of corruption not just someone who overslept through his/her alarm clock. Many cases are dismissed because the officers fail to show in court. It makes the department look bad
