Comedy of Errors
- The Cook County State’s Attorney’s office soft-pedalled the case against disgraced police officer Anthony Abbate, a senior cop testified Thursday morning as the Chicago Police Department fought back against allegations it tried to cover up the notorious videotaped attack.
But Deputy Chief Keith Calloway — the first witness called by the City of Chicago in its fight against a lawsuit filed by beaten bartender Karolina Obrycka — may have unintentionally hurt the city’s defense when he took the stand in Federal Court.
Calloway — a lieutenant in the police department’s Internal Affairs Division at the time of Abbate’s Feb. 19, 2007, attack on Obrycka — gave evidence that directly contradicted that of his boss at the time, Debra Kirby, and the evidence of two other IAD officers, further muddying the police department’s already confused account of its actions in the aftermath of the attack.
Wearing his dress uniform and addressing city attorney Matthew Hurd as “Sir,” Calloway said that the notorious viral video of the beating showed behavior by an off-duty Abbate that was “just unbelievable...that someone could be so evil and mean.”
At a meeting four days after the attack, Calloway said, he told assistant Cook County State’s Attorney Tom Bilyk that “this is a felony,” urging Bilyk to bring aggravated battery charges against Abbate.
But Bilyk told him, “I know it looks bad, but it’s not a felony,” Calloway testified, flatly contradicting Bilyk’s prior testimony.
So evidently, all the trial prep done for this disaster has been done solely by the plaintiff.
The City's only hope at this point is for the jury to not believe the political administrators would place such obviously incompetent people in charge of a major metropolitan police department who are incapable of putting together even the semblance of an organized conspiracy. And even though that's probably closer to the truth than anything we've seen thus far, we don't see it being an easy sell to a jury.

How many million is she suing the city for again?
We hope this isn't going to cut into the number of gift cards Walgreens will be handing out.
These are the ass clowns who are supposed to search for corruption in the ranks?
Leave them there anything that makes Rahm lookz bad is good for are pension. The sooner he 's gone the safer we are.
I think im goin 2 getz me a law degree like the Kirb-meister!
What's the problem, police say its a felony state says nope it's a misdemeanor, probably happens 20 times a day
The only logical conclusion is that all of these fucking retards were too pompous to go to or listen to any trial prep. If Calloway thinks that is a felony, based on his experience as a Police Officer, then he is a true idiot. The public way charge was something the SA's office found and used it to charge it with. It seems to only apply to police officers or other high profile video cases. Calloway seems like a nice guy but apparently is fucking idiot or a liar. It seems the only one telling the truth is the Sgt. that testified a few days ago. These people are truly pieces of shit and are casting a terrible light on the Dept by trying to be PC and preserve a future promo.
What is this? Are thses cops from IAD?

Isn't the "victim" an illegal alien ? Where is the INS?
Did anyone catch the story on Fox News with 2 po's from narcotics who are suing the CPD and several high ranking members for 1st amendment and whistle blower violations?
They felt they were picked on because their investigation uncovered dirty policeman. Their punishment you ask, being moved from unit to unit. Oh ouch, such punishment.
Now I have no knowledge of what's happening with this current case, but listening to their story alone they sound like victims. Unless you know their past, two of the biggest goofs on the job.
All of their shenanigans will come out in trial which may taint an honest current claim, but you reap what you sew, and what goes around comes around.etc
For the record......kirby is allegedly calloways clout.
Rumor has it a few cops have been giving the media and terry ekl a lot of information about kirby.these guys are big ball coppers and im totally sure if the job or kirby or politicians fuck with them that would be a real foolish move.
I wish Bernie epton was alive and the mayor.
Chuck goudie Pam zekman or Dave savinni should catch kirby coming out of a bar all fucked up driving not only a city issued car but a Chicago police dept issued car.lmao.now what Mr mayor Mr supt and the 19th ward democratic organization?
Someone, in one of the threads, "hit the nail on the head." Someone said that the city should have taken the position that the people investigating the event were not sure what the charge was going to be; but a charge was definitely in the works. This would have saved a lot of the embarassment.
Kirby will be toast.no job,no pension,no law license no barking orders and no more power.hows it feel sweetie pie? Karma and the good lord is a wonderful thing.

ex-mayor mumbles is the inspiration for this obvious defense strategy.
Terry ekl is a friend of mines lawyer.he is a great lawyer and mark these words....."he will cost kirby her job and pension".and yes ekl has gone after some officers but ask yourself this.... If the police fucked you around or your friends or family wouldn't you retain a good lawyer?
How in the hell would that be a Felony?
Armed? Can’t tell, didn’t brandish or use his weapon. Didn’t use any weapon or anything other than his fists as a weapon.
On Duty? Nope.
Permanently disfigure? Nope. Half of the punches never landed on the Bartender.
Public Way? Nope, in a bar.
Age? Nope, the Bartender was over 13 and under 65.
Don’t get me wrong, Abbate needed to be charged with Aggravated Stupidity, and is a total drunkin' asshole for doing it but no way was that an Agg Batt.
Both the CPD report and the ASA felony review reports would hve the name of the ASA that rejected the charges. Both CPD and ASA document all requests for felony charges by the felony review unit. My guess is that someone or everyone really doesnt want to find out
11/01/2012 02:13:00 PM
There is no box in a CPD report for a felony review denial.
11/01/2012 03:06:00 PM
So what. You still can formulate a sentence documenting approval or denial anywhere in the narrative of any CPD report (arrest,general offense,supplementary,etc).
Although that would be pretty funny to hear Kirby get on the stand and say 'I didn't write down the ASA's name who denied felony charges because there was no box."
well well well, it looks like some of these rats will be paying punitive damages just like real working police officers have been paying--- the queen rat kirby and her little rat army will get a taste of what happens to working coppers who fall prey to their incompetent investigations....

Basically it shows that these folks do not know how to testify, like it was mentioned earlier didn't the city sit down and interview these people, if so they would have seen this buffoonery.
Saying this.....even though these clowns are making this a case a three ring circus, the city could still say at least they were trying to charge him with something so there's no cover up.
I bet that these people blew off the request to come talk to the city lawyers in order to get prepped for this case, and the lawyers got tired and said "Fuck it, fuck them" and let these goofs go on the stand unprepared. How else could you explain this.
By the way, if the plaintiff claim it was a cover up and the original assigned officers did not take the offenders last name or say he was a officer, how did IAD get involved.....Hmmmmm?
the guy was from the 11th ward now lives with her in the 19th ward what a joke deb will be done from the dept soon
I love this soap opera! Of course, the bosses will be fine.
I found that the plaitiffs lawyers coach their clients on "the story". States Attorneys and the police don't because you are not supposed to according to the law.
These kinds of lawyers will always pick the tax payers pockets clean. As police officers you all know this, so why are all of you jumping on this band wagon?
This is what happens when you keep promoting political goofs into managerial positions.
You don't forget the truth, but it's hard to remember lies. That's why I always have to tell the truth, at least lately, because my memory is going to shit!
They put the right guy on the stand! Keith would have said littering is a felony to keep his spot. LOL That guy is scared of his own shadow! He is just like the woman beater A CLOWN
What a circus. Can you imagine what kind of wild conflicting testimoney between CPD brass and the SA will come out if the Vanecko case ever got to trial?
The bartender says she was afraid because she knew the police could cover everything up and cause her aggravation.
Hmmm. I've been afraid of anyone in a white shirt on this job for the longest time because I know the same thing. And I also know the bosses have a different set of rules--the two tier punishment system.
Can I sue too? Can we all sue?
But Bilyk told him, “I know it looks bad, but it’s not a felony,” Calloway testified, flatly contradicting Bilyk’s prior testimony.
But Officer Bill Cozzi cheek taps a unruly drunken hospital patient who he was called to arrest because hospital staff couldn't handle him and he gets sent to prison?
Something is very, very wrong.
And BTW Mr. Bilyk, it did look bad. Very, very bad. Because that drunken slob would have beat that girl to death if she hadn't defended herself. Many a domestic violence victim end up dying in the EXACT same situations. Maybe you need some new glasses or a little more education on alcoholic behavior.
---not a cop
I dont know how many millions she's suing for but you can quadruple it. The city has been so ill prepared, I'll be shocked if criminal charges arent being considered already.
as a non law enforcement person
i've seen the video a couple times on the news
in any other case involving a beating like this would be felony hands down
though i understand this guy has had problems with bad behavior before
and management shoveled it under the rug my question is this
how can the city be responsible
when the guy was off-duty at the time?i understand he's cop
i think the woman 's case is the the city did nothing when they knew of past history of this guy besides the assault and battery
10:00...... The statute also includes " Licensed Premise"
This is so sweet, I can hardly contain myself. How many decent coppers were fucked over by these people? I cant wait for them to be seperated and pay heavy punitives damages.
That was for 01:00 am
01:10am
Political hacks who were never the police, but tried their entire careers to fuck working police, are really funny when they get backed into a corner.
I'm truly enjoying this.

Really?! Guess your a troll or an inside house mouse but ill play along, there is a box for Asa denial in the arrest report. It comes up denied in big bold letters.
On a typical simple battery, the Asa is never involved or called to make the decision, officers just charge the offender with battery. The Asa's knowledge of the case alone at decision time should show that officers were seeking an upgrade and were denied. I've never called the Asa for approval unless I wanted an upgrade to felony. All Cpd can do is present evidence to Asa, that is our job. Asa gets the say in charging. Whether or not evidence is withheld is another story.... Not sure if things work differently in IAD.
the victim is an illegal from Poland. How come we cannot pick 5 to 10 laws that we dont have to abide by like illegals? i guess citizenship doesnt have its privileges.
Would it be better for the city if the plaintiff's attorney was able to show they got together and came up with a coherent story? Probably looks even worse than the confused mess they are presenting.
That may actually help the city in the long run.
No jury truly believes a story that is too pat. They might accept it if they like the defendant, but they won't believe it.
The bottom line is the city is stupid for going to trial. pay up now and get the pain over with. Fighting something like this is a lost cause. It is likely to just lead to more trouble. Every bum that ever got arrested by this guy is now talking to his lawyer. Now that they can show that at the very least there was some kind of apparrent attempt by members of the department to help this low life, anyone that ever filed a complaint against the guy is going to be looking for a payoff.
Kirby's significant other is Michael M. Mikuta, Purchasing Contract Administrator at City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs. His annual salary is $88,812.00. They've lived together for years.
I can eat a bowl of alphabet soup and sh*t a better testimony than that.
I LOVED Keith Calloway in the Blues Brothers!!!

That was Cab Calloway dip-shit!
As a member of the this police department, I can only say how flabbergasted I am at the unprofessionalism and unpreparedness of these so called commanders and deputies along with the states attorneys. I have testified in more court proceeding than I care to remember including my own federal lawsuit. The attorneys prep everyone for at least a week prior to trial and I wonder if any of these bosses decided to show up or do they all think they are right. I blame everyone including the IAD sgt. And the lying ASA.

Well, if you did an arrest or two you would know THAT THERE IS A BOX FORE DENIAL!

How many years you got on the job kid?
Get Real
Did you ever read Serpico?
NOTHING has changed in 50 years. The "flunky" cops go to jail... the "bosses" (exempts in the CPD)ride off into the sunset
Let me add some more shit in the game. If IAD wanted felony charges and felony review rejected the felony why didn't they go for an "Overide" like real detectives do sometimes. The only thing that the police cannot overide is a homicide.
Did anyone catch the story on Fox News with 2 po's from narcotics who are suing the CPD and several high ranking members for 1st amendment and whistle blower violations?
----
They REALLY got screwed with.
Both P.O.s are assigned to detective Unit 606...
the rest us us should be so lucky.
AWSOME.....CALLOWAY is now the XO at HOMAN SQUARE. He sure has found a job that suits him well. PARKING LOT SUPERVISOR.
What a joke this dept and its "leaders" have made it. They never were and never have been the POLICE. It shows through their testimony on the stand. Complete hacks!!!!
Terry ekl is a friend of mines lawyer.he is a great lawyer and mark these words....."he will cost kirby her job and pension".and yes ekl has gone after some officers but ask yourself this.... If the police fucked you around or your friends or family wouldn't you retain a good lawyer?
Ekl can kiss my hairy ass, the fact is he goes on tv and attempts to humiliate people and that's the problem I have with him. A gentleman would keep it in the courtroom and allow you to defend yourself instead of throwing a lopsided story out with your name attached.
What the bottom line here is the world sees what fools are running the Chicago Police Department. Abbate took down Phil Cline, and now he will take down Kirby and probably a few more.
The jury will sit in deliberations and say to themselves, how can this group ever possibly conspire successfully to get FADD (Fat ass dum dum) not charged with a felony?
such incompetence at that high level of the CPD would make it impossible to carry out a conspiracy.
What a great defense strategy!
Callaway's testimony was probably already baked in. In civil cases, you don't get surprises like this. Everyone had already testified well before trial.
If the city wanted to charge with a felony they could have charged him even with a refusal from the state. It's called an override and any deputy has the power to override the state. Stupid, just stupid.
Kirby needs to go and lose everything. Piece of shit. And here comes Anita Alvaez again. She keeps pulling crap like this and gets away with it. She should go too. Get rid of all the vermin once and for all. Maybe the remaining vermin will take notice. I can't believe Kirby and Alvarez can sleep at night!! And don't get me started on the Koschman case. Vanecko is another piece of shit, and so is his infamous uncle!
This case shows what you get with "Merit" promotions. Who fucked this all up you ask, why it's the "Merit bosses" Kirby, Calloway, Stehlik. All buffoons who have never been the police. If they would have just stripped the goof Abatte and put him in call back then let the experienced real police detective division handle the criminal investigation they would not be looking like the true incompetent fools that all three are.
This case as well as the investigation of Venecko ( Daleys nephew) show for the world to see the disfunction and incompetence of the command of the police department and the county prosecutor's office. What? No one took notes of important meetings or telephone conversations and added this information to the investigative file? Detectives, lieutenants. dep chiefs and chiefs did not talk to each other and otherwise give directions? Everybody point the finter at the other guy for blame. This would be funny if peoples lives and livihoods were not on the line. It has long been proven through law suits that the record systems of the police department and the prosecutors office is sorely lacking on accountability for reports, indexing of reports and notes completed and in turning over this information during trial. Kirby and O'Calloway should retire, now.
When you tell the truth you can't possibly be caught in lies or a cover-up. Amazing that some people just can't seem to grasp this most basic of human principles still to this day.
The female bartender did not receive serious injuries and certainly did not experience " great bodily harm" which is the standard used by the states attorney office for the average citizen. In this case they reached down for the act committed in a place of amusement to charge abatte. I just do not recall that ever being used for the average joe and probably will never be used again.
If one of my co-workers or someone in my circle of friends ever hit a woman half his size the mob justice would be swift, and severe. Just saying how it is in the real world....
I want to see how they are going to convince a federal jury of the reality we live in: Anywhere in Illinois, except Cook County an Agg. Battery does not require serious injury. However, in Cook County, it is an unwritten law, unique to our Felony Review that the victim must be severely injured to have Felony charges approved. In other words YOUR LIFE IS WORTH LESS IN CHICAGO OR COOK COUNTY! The State's Attorney in failing to file felony charges was complying with the regular policy which we have all seen before. The difference is that this is on video and now a Federal Jury will have to accept that there are multiple ways to enforce laws in Illinois.
What is this? Are thses cops from IAD?

Hah, what a joke the CPD is. How many lawsuits are there against the dept for corruption at this moment? A dozen?
OT - I have to agree totally with 12:34 about the two nacotic cops suing the city as whistleblowers. Worked with these two knuckleheads in a district for years and can honestly say that this is truly a case of the pots calling the kettles black! Yes, bad and corrupt cops need to pay their dues but whoever sent these two out to be the collectors should have their heads examined!
These bosses at I.A.D. can't tell the difference between an aggravated battery and a simple battery? Oh Jesus, what the judge and jury must think of the C.P.D. This is more shocking than the video.
There IS a box on Cpd arrest report for approval/denial of felony charges. U mark the date/time and ASA name. Have you ever made a felony arrest that requIred approval from the state? e.

UUuhhh... When was the last time you looked at an Arrest Report?
Have you ever seen the little box where the "Charges" information goes?
And whats wrong with the "Narritive" section?
I'm sure everyone has experienced this. Two coppers make a simple arrest, battery, retail theft, whatever. One does the arrest report, the other does the case report. You read the two reports and can't tell that they are about the same incident. How often does that happen? My guess is 15%-20%. For that reason, depending on my partner, I preferred to do all the paper. For a heater case like this, one person should have been responsible for the majority of the work. Some people on this department don't spend enough time in patrol to learn the good and bad of this job and how the dept. can fuck with you. These scrotums never got fucked by the dept. but were part of the group that thought they were smarter than we dumbasses in patrol. I suppose there might be good people in IAD but the few I have known have had very little time in patrol.
its not a felony, every day dozens of people do much much worse than abatte and the charge is plain old vanilla battery
I ask my self this, "why would anybody stick their neck out for a fat drunk piece of shit who should have never been on the job."
Let them all burn who covered for this fat drunk mutt...
OT from "Things to Come" post:
In time before the Election...Crain's Chicago reports the Fed gives up the $$$ for the freeloaders...(the) decision is worth as much as $100 million a year, since its network of hospitals and health clinics already is serving most of the patients free of charge. The tab now will be picked up by federal taxpayers under a provision of Obamacare, rather than by Cook County taxpayers alone.
"I am so pleased to see this result after many months of hard work," Ms. Preckwinkle said in a statement. Winning approval of the waiver plan first in Springfield and then in Washington was "the top legislative priority of my administration," she added.
County health CEO Ram Raju said the 144,000 now will get "a medical home," with preventive care, primary care physicians, case management and other actions designed to heal them and keep them healthy.
Under Obamacare, the 114,000 would have had to wait until 2014 to gain Medicaid eligibility. Moving them into the program now means the county will have to start covering a portion of the total cost a year earlier than otherwise. But it also means that, as soon as they are enrolled, the county no longer will have to provide uncompensated charity care on its own dime.
Oh yes. It's Coming. He has spoken.
Preckwrinkle is evil. Socialist Obama-banger.
Vote Republican..

So the guy she had merit promoted to Sergent to be her admin guy in Vice, then go to IAD to be the admin Sgt to watch over Juan Rivera when he was a Lt there, then she makes him a merit Lt, brings him back to IAD, where he is then made a Commander out of...HE THROWS HER UNDER THE BUS?!?!?!?

Kirby turns 50 in November with 28 years on the job. I doubt she gives two fucks. Not like she isn't going to the private sector to make more money anyway.
The arrest report has a box for approve ir denial of felony charges
the result of 30+ years of lowered standards
If you call felony review and the ASA denies approval of felony charges he/she should give you a rejection number. The ASA has to fill out a report per the phone call, and a narrative as to why the charges were approved or denied. The PO should also include the ASA's name, time, date and approval or rejection number in his/her narrative. Report writing 101 from a 1970's Retired PO
Kirby and Calloway used to be partners. He did all of the police work while she was in law school. She repaid him by ensuring he was promoted meritoriously to lieutenant and then ensuring he became an exempt! He owes her and will lie for her. Ekl should ask about all of the coverups in the Finnegan cases!
The battery in it by itself does not meet the elements of a aggravated battery. The only thing that makes it aggravated is the battery in a licenced premise part.
99% of simple batteries are aggravated. "public way"... aggravated, "transit rider"... aggravated, "licenced premise"...aggravated.
When is the last time any one of you went for an agg bat based on the location? When is the last time any officer sought agg bat charges because it was a licenced premise. How many of these has felony review approved in the last 5-10 years? My guess is one. This one. Which I'm ok with by the way.
The vast majority of officers and ASAs will look at the video and see, no major/permenant injuries, no weapon and think simple battery. Very few will say "it's a licenced premise"
I'm sure the initial reaction by everybody involved was simple battery based on what they saw on the video.
No officer in his right mind would want to cover this up. It's just that nobody wants to admit they didn't know the charge existed.
Every single officer that has ever handled a battery knows that in Crook Co. if the victim has no broken bones, no sever internal bleeding, or any permanent dis-figuration that the States Attorney is not going to approve felony charges. Period. There is absolutely no doubt that the beating of this woman looks horrid on video and that it should be a felony. Like I said though, beatings like this occur daily...just ask any of the people that have been "flash mobbed" down on the Mag Mile. I guarantee if it was just a beatdown and nothing was stolen those offenders were charged w/ misdemeanors too. There is no way CPD asked for felony charges because on a daily basis when batteries like this occur the State always makes the misdemeanors.

News story yesterday - Taxicabs in Peking have been ordered to remove the inside window cranks. This is to prevent people from throwing out anti-government leaflets as the taxi rolls along.
Heard a radio piece today on a book, "Death By China." The new Chinese middle class is leaving due to fear of government repression/confiscation of assets.
They can essentially just buy themselves a green card to come here, and Irvine, Calif. was mentioned as one town where Chinese with hard cash are buying up 50 to 100 homes at a time.
"There’s nothing subtle about what’s happening. It’s an economic death because of China’s unfair trade practices and the loss of the U.S. manufacturing base. Also, literal death because of the loss of consumer safety: toothpaste, baby formula, a dizzying array of products. There are also human rights abuses—China’s forced labor camps. There’s a chilling discovery in the film about how people are being taken out of labor camps and their organs are harvested. Also, the military buildup of China. [Also Chinese cyberattacks on the US.]"

Staten Island residents plead for help from Mayor Bloomberg after storm
"An elderly couple was found dead — pinned...beneath a 41-foot power cruiser that had been lifted by the storm from the Great Kills Harbor a mile away...police found the bodies of two boys, ages 2 and 4, who were swept out of their horrified mother’s arms when waves of water crashed into their SUV...At least 16 of the city’s 38 storm-related fatalities have been on Staten Island...51-year-old John Filipowicz Sr. and his son, John, age 20...died together in the basement of their home...families returning to inspect their home forded through knee-deep water with tears in their eyes.
“We have the worst tragedy that's ever happened in Staten Island, and I'd say New York City, since 9/11," said Borough President James Molinaro. "We need help … We need food, we need clothing, we need everything you can possibly think of."
"We have hundreds and hundreds of people in shelters. How do we handle them? Where do they go?"
"...Con Ed reported that 114,000 customers on Staten Island have been without power...15-year-old throws self in front of train on Staten Island..."

If the city wanted to charge with a felony they could have charged him even with a refusal from the state. It's called an override and any deputy has the power to override the state. Stupid, just stupid.

Felony override is meaningless. State drops the felony charge the very next day. Overrides never stick. EVER.
The sub section (720ILCS 5/12-4 they used to charge the idiot is worded as such and is based on the location of conduct where the offense occurred.

You hit the center ring, and I agree with your assessment 100%.
I haven't stopped grinning since I read of Lil Debbie being visibly nervous and sweating on the stand.
Kirby and Calloway were A/2 Property Crimes Det's. on midnights. Both used that time to study for law school and BA degree. Calloway owes Kirby and vice-versa. She brings him everywhere she goes. Maybe she should have quit while she was ahead and left him in VCS. Happy to see the both of them show their vast knowledge - and obviously neither one prepare for their testimony. Idiots both. But, nothing will happen to either one of them because they have the magic stars.
DRUNK! The defence rests!
Caused bodily harm (NOT GREAT BODILY HARM) to an individual in a public place of amusement or entertainment. The bar the IDIOT was in, is privately owned and not a public place of amusement or entertainment like Navy Pier or Soldier Filed.
Sorry officer, you are incorrect. Check the city ordinance that defines what a public place of amusement actually is, and the tavern qualifies. It is privately owned but the public does enter and do business and it is licensed by the city to conduct business with the public. The state law that the former officer was charged with is seldom , if ever , used when injury is minor which it was in this case.
Why is a police officer on this public forum posting negatives things about the department. Who do you think pays this illegal if they rule against the city. It is the taxpayer, and if I'm not mistaken police officers pay taxes. So why not keep your opinions to yourself. The general public does not need to hear all this negative shit about the department. Remember opinoins are like ass holes every one has one. Some are just better then others. So why doesn't everyone try shutting the f#$@ up.

As a member of the this police department, I can only say how flabbergasted I am at the unprofessionalism and unpreparedness of these so called commanders and deputies along with the states attorneys. I have testified in more court proceeding than I care to remember including my own federal lawsuit. The attorneys prep everyone for at least a week prior to trial and I wonder if any of these bosses decided to show up or do they all think they are right. I blame everyone including the IAD sgt. And the lying ASA."
I want to agree with this Officer, I too have testifided in many trials and have always, always been preped, and I did a stinkt in IAD. All I can say is Kirby probably took her pompous attitude that she's an attorney and no one needs to tell her how to testify. She always took that attitude in IAD especially when she decided to by pass General Orders and do things her way. Calloway is a nice guy but not much street experience. Sthelik was a good Detective before making Sgt. and going to IAD. He tried to do the right thing but Kirby decident to strut her stuff and show him who was boss. I do hope she gets knocked down but we all know that isn't going to happen.

I don't get where all the slamming of Lt. Calloway is coming from, but I remember him when he was a midnight dick in A2 and he always did his job and together we got many burlaries and armed robberies approved. Keith never blew you off (as plenty of dicks did back then) and futhermore, any time I ran in to him as he moved up, he always took the time to speak to me.

True, she will be age-eligible for pension before the start of 2013, but she has 26 and a day as of Summer 2012. If she goes, it is not because she wants to leave. It will because of a nudge. Or a shove. Or worse.
Both the CPD report and the ASA felony review reports would hve the name of the ASA that rejected the charges. Both CPD and ASA document all requests for felony charges by the felony review unit. My guess is that someone or everyone really doesnt want to find out
11/01/2012 02:13:00 PM
There is no box in a CPD report for a felony review denial.
11/01/2012 03:06:00 PM
So what. You still can formulate a sentence documenting approval or denial anywhere in the narrative of any CPD report (arrest,general offense,supplementary,etc).
Although that would be pretty funny to hear Kirby get on the stand and say 'I didn't write down the ASA's name who denied felony charges because there was no box."
Last time I checked when you call and get denied you put the Asa's name and denial time in the same box as the approval. Hence the denial/approval check box on the arrest report. Just saying. This shit shouldn't have been this difficult. I will gladly do what I'm ordered by a superior even though he might be wrong as long as He or she understand that their name will be somewhere on my report. Just saying.

Wrong. 26 years on, started 27th year on June 16.
Felony Review was implemented by Republican States Attorney Bernard Carey in the mid '70's as a way of paying back Jessie Jackson and several others liberals who supported him over ASA Hanrahan, a Daley guy. The real reason for the Review is to deny felony charges. Jackson had openly campaigned that too many minorities were charged with felonies by a police department out of control!
Anonymous said...
If you call felony review and the ASA denies approval of felony charges he/she should give you a rejection number. The ASA has to fill out a report per the phone call, and a narrative as to why the charges were approved or denied. The PO should also include the ASA's name, time, date and approval or rejection number in his/her narrative. Report writing 101 from a 1970's Retired PO

go read the license in the bar of your choice, they are public place of amusement licenses not a "private" bar
As much as I hated this incident and for what it brought to the department there is something that gets overlooked. It is in no way an excuse for what that idiot did. Try and see the whole video from the beginning.
My daughter worked as a hosted at a busy restaurant bar and I used the video as a teaching tool. At one point, Abate is headed across the floor for the door and is almost there. Instead of staying back Ms. Goofball is out from behind the bar and right on his ass. (I wonder what she was saying) As they are both just at the door Abate turns around and the drunken ass goes to town on her.
My point to my kid was that when drunken ass is headed for the door, keep your mouth shut; let him go lock the door behind him and call 9-1-1.

_________________________________
As much as I agree it should not have been charged as a felony, A bar is not a private place it is a licensed premise and open for business to the public.
It requires a tavern license and if it had any amusement devices such as a pool table or arcade game it requires a public place of amusement license.
From the city website:
Tavern License
Bars, nightclubs, taverns, pubs, and lounges are required to obtain a tavern license to sell and serve alcoholic beverages as the primary source of business. In other words, if the establishment’s business is to sell alcohol, to be consumed on the premises, a Tavern license is required. Patrons entering a tavern must be 21 or older. Persons under 21 may only enter a licensed tavern accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
Moratorium restrictions against the issuance of a new tavern license may apply; ask a case manager or your Alderman if your business is located in a moratorium district.
Taverns that offer live entertainment, charge admission for entry or have several amusement devices such as pool tables or arcade games may need a Public Place of Amusement license to conduct such activity.
OK Hair gels boys. Knock it off. Trying to show you made a couple of arrests. Who gives a fuck if there is a "BOX" on the arrest rerort? Just add one sentence at the end of the narrative, stating, "FELONY CHARGES DENIED PER ASA -------." End of story. Don't post any more shit about a box on the arrest report. HOLY SHIT! Grow the fuck up. Most of the fucks who posted about the box probably have less than seven yrs on job and worked midnights last night and went into station with partner to check out an arrest report. FUCK YOU ASSES. DROP IT. RETIRED GUY.

Speaking of the "Whistle Blower" CPD lawsuit hitting the press today.

Have the politicians set up another kangaroo court like the recent decision on the demolition of Prentiss women's hospital -- where the mayor always wins.
How the hell can you have a unanimous decision one day to preserve this place as a historic building, then the mayor writes an op-ed piece in the paper and then everyone switches their vote except for one person in the other direction.
Just wait until Rahm get's his supreme court nominees installed and see what happens to your union and its contracts!
Bought and paid for. From crooked politicians to crooked cops. Just look the other way. See No Evil -- Hear No Evil -- Speak No Evil. How can you demonize the thugs on the streets for doing it when the department and elected officials are doing the same thing.

There was no broken bones, no permanent disfigurement, no hospital visit, in fact she stayed at work till close. Fine charge him with 75 misd. counts of simple battery. The bar is not even a public way. They should read the fucking law.
Hopefully this charade called "The Command Staff" changes soon. Had a nice conversation with an ISP Trooper today. There is heavy rumor in ISP that Hiram Grau may be leaving ISP to lead CPD soon. ISP will be lead by one of their retired bosses who has expressed and interest in coming back to them.

Kirby was a youth officer Calloway is and never was a productive police officer. Neither one knew that when you want to get felony charges you contact the detective division. The assigned detective interviews the victim, witnesses arresting officers consideres the evidence then calls felony review who,if anyway possible rejects felony charges until the detective convinces him or her that they have a good chance of a plea and thus a conviction. Apparently Bialik didn't get the memo that if it's the hated Chicago Police that is the alleged offender and it's a heater you always approve felony charges. The only reason bottom feeder Terry EKL is pushing to get blame on the city is that is where the money is. Abatte is a bustout but if the city is liable for him they have money to pay Abatte dose not. Let's see now if EKL gets away with this all the bottom feeders will be sueing the city for coppers of duty traffic accidents and any other bullshit civil case that they are involved in.
How come the FBI gets and takes 4 yrs to investigate and charge a police officer and the state seems to have to charge the next day?

REALLY?????
HE was merit all the way from SGT UP.........so if he said he wasnt than you'd be the only IDIOT to believe him.
5:43, you are wrong that it was Republican Bernie Carey's idea. Felony Review started as a federally funded program and it probly still is. Just like CAPs started with federl funding. Also there is not such thing as a rejection #, except when each ASA assigned to felony review, has their stats reviewed by their supervisor. They have to have a percentage of rejections. You can also call them for advice and these calls get averaged in also. In the old days when asa's and the police got along (think Jean's tap on 25ths n cal) the dicks would call in cases that they knew were bullshit, get the rejection and then there was room for iffy approvals in the asa's blue book.
Should have called the area and got the two best Det's and Sgt to handle this and who do this on a steady diet of nonsense day in and day out. But no whiskey face Kirby knows better than anyone because she is a lawyer.She couldn't get a dog out of the pound.Calloway is a nice guy but over his limit.he would be the best salesman Cherins could have but making decisions at CPD forget it.Again to good to call the Det's so they would hear about a confidential matter that was nothing but a drunk copper who should have been arrested. But as we all know as soon as the press get a hold of matters like this the bosses all crap their selves and panic. Make a decision and stand by it but we all know they can't make a decision on a bowel movement. Corp counsels are over their heads on cases like this and the bosses like someone else are all toooooo important to be prepped and the CC probably did say fuck it.

Not true. In over 38 years as PO, Det, Sgt & Lt, I was involved in dozens, maybe over 100, of ASA over rides.
Many resulted in felony convictions.
Many resulted in misd convictions, via a plea bargan.
Some were dropped, SOL.
Some were hung jury.
Some were not guilty.
"Never" & "EVER" = not true.
You just have to take the time & effort, whatever your rank, to convey the facts & elements of the law to "Trial" the case to the felony review ASA. Then later to the WC.
Also, the ASA in felony court will not just drop a over ride case without thinking "why and who" are interested in this incident being a felony. All decisions are either economic or political.

11/02/2012 09:28:00 PM
Two lies. Kirby was Detective in Area 2. So was Calloway and he did more work in one police period than she did the entire time she was a detective.
When I came on the job back in 1972 there was no felony review. All you had to do was make you grab, call the Dicks and they put felony charges on a jackass, They even made out two sets of complaints felony complaints,101s and misdemeanors called "reducers"in those days. There was no"I" Bonds the jaggoff sat until someone came up with cash or when the court date arrived (Set by the Police) Then he was told sentenced considered served or trial?
There is no law stating that the States Attorney has to approve charges in a felony case. When Bernard Carey was elected States Attorney he introduced the concept as better law enforcement to old man Daley and Felony review was born. The onlt reason that exists today is that it is less work for the States Attorneys and Judges.
If Calloway's people did not make such great golf clubs, he would still be in a beat car.
I don't agree with it but here is the definition per ILCS:
(A) Place of Public Accommodation. "Place of public accommodation" includes, but is not limited to:
(1) an inn, hotel, motel, or other place of lodging,
except for an establishment located within a building that contains not more than 5 units for rent or hire and that is actually occupied by the proprietor of such establishment as the residence of such proprietor;
(2) a restaurant, bar, or other establishment serving food or drink;

A lot of people don't like Deb Kirby. No reasons provided, so I will guess they had dealings with IAD.
Calloway is a nice guys that had more than one bite at the merit apple, too bad.
The victim is an illegal immigrant who overserves her customers and sends them out on to the city streets. One overserved asshole threw some punches at her. Price of doing that kind of business.
States Attorneys in Chicago are underpaid and politically managed. They have never approved felony charges for a bout of fisticuffs in a bar with no injuries, but are being hammered for not doing it to a cop.
Everybody on the Department hated fat ass, drunken Tony Abbatte and still do.
Terry Ekl is a bottom feeder trying to steal your tax dollars for the illegal.
There you go. Just saved you 10 minutes of reading. No need to go to the top.
So now Dan Herbert has partnered with Gator Bradley's lawyers to sue about a dozen cops? Nice one, Dan! Taking a page right out of your buddy Needham's playbook.

Mikey, don't you have a contact to negotiate? STFU.
WHAT DO WE HAVE TO DO TO MAKE THIS GUY GO AWAY.... I still can not belive his fat ass lives in this state, and i still can not belive he has not gotten a hair cut or shaved his rediculous facial hair
Jackson had openly campaigned that too many minorities were charged with felonies by a police department out of control!
==============
one of the few things Jackson was right about. as an institution CPD was openly hostile to racial minorities at that time in history. just a fact. unfortunately, the department seemed unable to clean up after itself so the feds had to step in and get the SA office to deal with it.
a rule 14 is not automatic firing, if you haven't figured out yet that there is nothing that is an automatic firing except a felony conviction you must live in a cave
I made Sgt. in 1998, off the list, I got no clout.....Calloway was a merit Sgt, in my class along with merits sgts.'s Leo Schmitts, Al Wysinger, Dana Starks, Judith Martin, Jarmuscz(unsure of spelling), and a few other who are gold stars now, I have to look at my list........by the way I'm still pushing a beat car working every start time there is on 3 rd watch, but I have never kissed ass and never will...... thats why I'm the Viking........
Two lies. Kirby was Detective in Area 2. So was Calloway and he did more work in one police period than she did the entire time she was a detective.

I'll 2nd that motion Sir. You hit it damn bang center.
Calloway worked for me for a bit in Englewood. He was Ok, but never the most agressive officer and certainly not the brightest. I am retired now and I was shocked to see he made exempt.

Not true at all. He was not merit. The list is still floating around. He was off the test. Now for the rest of them, I will be quiet.
RIP Firefighter Herbie Johnson
my condolences to Chicago Police Officers Jim and Terry Johnson

Felony override is meaningless. State drops the felony charge the very next day. Overrides never stick. EVER.
The sub section (720ILCS 5/12-4 they used to charge the idiot is worded as such and is based on the location of conduct where the offense occurred.
Caused bodily harm (NOT GREAT BODILY HARM) to an individual in a public place of amusement or entertainment. The bar the IDIOT was in, is privately owned and not a public place of amusement or entertainment like Navy Pier or Soldier Filed.
THUS:
She suffered minimal if any bodily harm, which suffices for the statute, BUT, it was in a privately owned bar. It wasnt at Navy Pier or the Taste etc.
Charging him with a felony, as much as any of us would have liked to have this buffoon charged with, was not within legal grounds to do so.
PLAIN AND SIMPLE...

Not true about the over-ride. My partner and I got an over-ride and it was NOT dropped. In court, the ASA told us "Goog job getting the over-ride." and they charged the guy. Of course, this was in addition to other crimes he was being charged with but the over-ride had a diret impact on those other charges.
Area North Det.
Well it looks like the democratic sheep will reelect Anita Alveraz ad County States' Attorney. I am guessing that tghe special prosecutor on the Venecko case is holding up his report until after the election. And, disgusting as it is, Sen Durbin suggested that Lisa Madigan would make a good US Supreme Court Justice should Obama get reelected. I hope someone with some stature runs against Durbin in two years. What a hack
Stehlik scored #2 on the dicks list and has testified on hundreds of trials. There are homicide offenders in the penitentiary because of his court testimony. If you don't know what you’re talking about don't post BS!
