Kill The Messenger

As with all tyrants:
  • Alderman Carrie Austin was featured in the Sun-Times about two weeks ago saying that she wanted Louis Farikan's Fruit of Islam troops patrolling her ward.

    Carrie Austin, Sandi Jackson, Toni Foulkes and the rest of the (fill-in-the-blanks) are responsible for McKnucklehead coming in and ruining this department and for letting manpower decline to levels which make us ineffective.

    But they will get their "Box Missions" around their houses now so it will be all right.

    Here is something from the fly on the wall from HQ. When an Alderman complains to McKnucklehead, as sometimes they do, about the low manpower what happens. McKnucklehead call the District Commander and slams them for letting on that there is a manpower problem.
How can anyone not know there's a manpower issue? Retirements far out pace hiring, there is no way the Department is going to keep up again this year unless 400 more suddenly appear out of thin air, the Time Due restrictions continue apace, meaning that there just aren't enough personnel to grant what was previously available. Even Stevie Wonder could see there just aren't enough coppers around.

Maybe some of the victims will start suing the city for depravation of protective services by not hiring cpd.

The city has a new trick. If you are a white applicant for the cpd and they can't fail you for any other reason they will dump you on a phony psyc test.

Six of my sons classmates (all with degees) were dumped for being not psych qualifyed. They want to keep racial balance in the department.

It's evident they need to back to the minimum staffing that was used in the 90s. Get rid of the useless 06 Teams, stationary posts& eliminate a Tact team while you;re @ it.The cars will be manned & Then you can get some EARNED time due.

"How can anyone not know there is a manpower issue?"

The same TV, radio and print reporters who may know there is a HUGH manpower but refuse to make this the Number 1 Front Page Issue. If they did Rahm would make phone calls and cut them off from city business and other ads that give them their revenue.

I was at an event in my neighborhood over the weekend and even they (the tax paying civilians) were talking about spreading the police so thin and that more need to be hired. Guess the powers that be downtown aren't doing such a good job pulling the wool over Mr & Ms citizens eyes after all.

Huh? What? The 90's? You mean the times when we had police officers? Academy turning out 140(+/-) a month, every month? Sector Cars, Beat Cars, 2 to 3 waggons a Dist, full Tact Teams, SKIP Teams, 06 Teams, hospital car, Det's, Sgts, Lt's... You mean THOSE '90's?

I must have missed the 90's you were talking about.

I tell the citizens all day long when they complain that the police took too long to show up or not at all that the blame lies with the politicians and not the police because we are way too shorthanded, that we just don't have the manpower. The great majority understand.

As for Time Due, why is it that only the officers working the watches in patrol can't get Time Due? I know a lot of people in units and they all tell me they have no problem getting time off.

So all you P/Os from patrol working your days off, keep helping the department while the department shits on you.

The city will do anything to keep white male applicants from being hired. The city tries to get rid of the male white applicant at every step of the hiring process. This is done to increase minority chances of getting hired. The city will bend over backwards to hire a minority candidate and then disqualify any male white candidate for the slightest thing. Maybe this should be looked into, but won't.

You're failing as a parent for not kicking a pocket in your kid's ass for having a degree and wanting in on this job.

His six classmates too...

CPD is a ghost ship. If you love your kid, tell him to sign on elsewhere or go federal.

Whatever prestige there is in CPD has been intentionally stripped away.

Tell him and his friends for the sake of their quality of life...

CPD is en route to being privatized anyway.

You want your kid working for Cocked-Hat Security & Public Safety Customer Service Agents of Chicago?

A law suit to get a ticket on the law enforcement version of the Titanic?

The pay-out and lawyer fees are coming out of guess who's pockets?

Kick your kid in his ass... Hard...

He'll thank you a few years from now when he, his wife and kids are spending family time (THAT HE AIN'T GONNA GET WITH CPD) with you.

Does the Sun Times live in a cave? Do they not realize that the overwhelming majority of people looking for news in the Chicagoland area do not get the news from them, or solely from them?

The Sun Times would not know what "balanced, fair and objective" reporting is.

When they start charging for their on-line news, they will find out that no one wants to subscribe to their version of tabloid reporting.

It will be nice to see the Scum Times and Chicago's other rag, the Fibune, go under.

The city used to have a policy that would allow officer that resigned as long as you left in good standing to be re-employed. You would lose your senority but be rehired. I brought this to the ditector of HR Ladner and she promptly had the policy changed snd told me to reapply. From the FOP I'm not the only person looking to user this policy but the city wil not budge. I'm only one person but I would be another officer and warm body on the street.

Same thing happened to me back in 2006. After failing I went and got hired for a big city pd on west coast, but at the end of the day I would still rather be in CHicago...no place like home.

I knew 8 male whites who also "failed" the pysch test...all were between the ages of 22-25 and 5 had college degrees and 3 had military experience. 5 got hired on by other pd's, 2 went back in the service, and 1 is working in the corporate world.

I did have one white friend who passed, male white with a degree and also a military veteran. I also had 5 friends that were either black or hispanic and all of them were hired...Guess thats just life. Everything is about race and what the city is looking for this time around. Its really unfortunate because race shouldnt be a factor, the best people should get hired regardless of what race they are!! Last time I checked there are some outstanding cops from all walks of life...

NATIONAL FOP and all other police unions and affiliates should petition our congressmen and be working on not just our medical issues and pension problems nationally but attempts to grant police /peace officers some sort of immunity (like a judge) and indemnify police action in the course of our duties!

Someone needs to pick up the ball and carry it and make a POLITICAL AGENDA!

While they are at it indemnify the Firefighters too.

Then we can all work with the proper PEACE OF MIND it takes to show up, and execute this job for the good of society.

Not aiming to create POLICE MONSTERS that can do ill will but to create the essential work environment suitable for police to handle the issues and bullshit we face daily in confidence!

Save us now from "hesitation" and "indecision" and "worry" as these issues now factor in our reactions and can slow us down which can kill or injure us and keep us free from civil recourse from the basic bullshit beefs that can ruin our families and our kids futures with punitive damages.

Maybe there is a way to scrutinize this in congress and break it down so its not too lobsided.

I'm not saying give us complete immunity but work with us here!!!

It may bring police work back somewhat and make this town and this country safe again!

3 bars

Maybe there is some underlying truth to this or some avenues that can be taken by SOMEONE to address these issues so to petition Congress to grant such immunity.

If a judge is "the king of the court" and is immune to civil recourse for his/her decisions upon interpreting laws and applying sanction.....

Then why aren't the police or "the knights of the court" that represent "the king" within their community when enforcing these rules and laws for peace in society, not immune from civil recourse in making such decisions in good faith while in the course of their duty?

Not to make the police a "monster" is right but to maybe help them get their confidence back so they can confidently perform their jobs with peace of mind!

Time to step into the 21st century with this Constitution as our society has spiraled out of hand and we are quick to punish those sworn and expected to defend us in our society from evil when the lawsuits fly!

I'm a Political Student at UIC with an interest in modern government and a more crime free Chicago.

Nothing new..they did it 15-20 years ago too! 1993-1997 had a big hiring push. I know a guy who was failed..so he went to a suburb and was hired. The funny thing was..the suburb was "light years" ahead of CPD in the screening processes used. He passed multiple (real) psych tests, as well as polygraph exams. CPD is and always has been a joke, when it comes to hiring and promotions!

Sorry..your lawsuit is odorless!

The other "trick" they (Director TL) is pulling is pulling "questionable" applicants and putting them on a pile to have a "hearing". But she never has the hearing, there is nothing written in place to have a hearing, no hearing officers, no chance for the applicant to present their case or even know what is being alleged. He thinking is that as long as she doesn't officially reject the applicant they have no recourse. They weren't wronged in her eyes. So she's stockpiling white educated and/or military applicants. And as each class goes in, they get passed up once again.

If you get rejected ask for a hearing. Director Ladner has created her own hearing office and made herself the hearing officer and sole authority to grant your appeal or not. Most m/1's with a questionable file are given a rejection letter most m/2's never get the official rejection and therefore can not request a hearing

A suite is a group of rooms in a hotel. A suit is what is brought to court.
If you need a hint, a suit is also what you should wear in court. Suit = court. Suite = hotel.
