The New Fall Guys

Not the politicians that won't hire people. Not the judges that won't convict.

Not the States Attorney that won't prosecute. Not the appointed hacks that parole everyone within a pulse.

Not even the exempts that have miraculously risen through the ranks without once laying hands on people, filling out an Officer Battery Report, or appearing in court.

Nope.  McJackass has a new target to take the fall:
  • The real story is how McCarthy told the exempt staff that they're not following up on "the Plan," and that it's all the fault of the field sergeants.

    Admit it, Numnuts - you're a failure. You have no idea what Chicago crime is about and you have no idea how to run a police department.

    I can only imagine the phone call from the mayor yesterday morning.

    And he blames the sergeants?
Blaming the field sergeants?  In most cases, they're the only ones backing the boys and girls on the front lines.  We know there are notable exceptions to this, but for the most part, the field sergeant just wants to get through the day without having to do extra paperwork.

The chain of command has already been blurred beyond recognition with captains being phased out and lieutenants pretty much a joke at this point.  Destroying the sergeants would complete the wholesale dismantling of the supervisory capacity of this Department - which at this point seems to be the unspoken plan.

ok, I have a question off topic. We are in the process of getting the new ford interceptors and ford explorer SUVs. The SUVs are just starting to roll out and be put into the fleet. Well, wouldnt you know where the first ones went too??? They went to the airports.. YEP, the airport. So, to the guys in the districts still pushing that 2001 ford crown vic with 135,000 miles on it dont worry, the airports are getting the cars first.... Not you, you dont need it. I first thought maybe it was because of some special federal funding etc but it turns out thats not the case at all. Some brain child just decided it would be "nice" to get the new trucks out at the airports first. What a joke. stay safe in those rolling coffins in patrol, the new cars are at the airport.

Answer your calls and come clear in a timely fashion, back each other up without being asked to do so, write a violation if you observe it, shit at least stop the car that breaks the law right in front of you! To many coppers just let people do what they want and then have the nerve to bitch about how people don't show them respect.

To the guy crying about the airport getting all of "our" new Ford SUVs.

The Dept of Aviation has their own budget and their own fleet. They bought their own batch of new Explorers and they've been in service for a few weeks. They have nothing to do with the rest of our new SUVs that are now being delivered to 51st Street. The delivery of the first 35 trucks has been made and those vehicles will be implemented into the patrol division as replacements for the districts. New Ford sedans are also on the way. The city contracted with a suburban police equipment installer for the lights, cages, PDTs & graphics and are brought to 51st Street as they're finished. Apparently, there is no one left at MMD to prep our own new cars anymore. They've been laid off.

It is not the sergeants that are the problem. It's the department's "Everybody should feel good-Hands off policing" policies. They tell you to go out there and treat everyone like animals,and within the same breath "act like cameras are on you at all times" so that if and when a few animals complain (or a video leaks out), they say YOU knew you were supposed to treat them better. When the shit hits the fan, none of them will be at thirty-north, it will be you. Cant you see, it is "Divide and Conquer"- they are pushing the "Fault" on the blue shirts. Their "proven and effective" strategies arent working, and it is only because of you not doing what you are supposed to. Until these laws and lawyers and juries change (politicians and judges are mostly lawyers) then everyone is headed for disaster. They make it more difficult for you to catch the criminals, and easier for the criminals to get away.

I agree with you for the most part, but what happens when a Sergeant does his job and insures the PO does their job? That Sgt's name ends up on here being smeared and slammed like he is some outrageous dictator. For telling someone to put a beat tag on. Or telling them to wear the uniform properly and shave the goatee, they have their name dragged through the mud on here, publicly.

I've been out of patrol for a while, but I recall Sgt's in one of my old Districts having their personal vehicles keyed, tires flattened and even heard of a garage being burned down allegedly by the troops that felt wronged by someone who was just doing the job legit. The old dog shit under the door handle was a familiar favorite too.

So while I agree 100% that the Sgts need to do their job, there is and should be a real fear of retribution from the 1-3% of treacherous, sociopathic dogs who would rather slash their sgt's tire than show up on time, in the proper uniform.

There is no Leadership at the top. No balls to dump the assclowns who were merit promoted their whole career, given a chance to be exempt and failed miserably. Those people are all now XO's instead of being busted back to Lt's...most don't deserve that rank either. Instead, continue to blame the Patrol Sgt's. Continue to make their lives miserable.

Great "plan".

I don't think it's so much a plan to wipe out the command ranks as it's simply the Mayor's way of managing seeping downward and corroding everything it touches.

The Mayor is fond of blaming those below him. And he's incapable of backing up city workers because he holds us all in contempt. And he's sent straight from heaven, so if there are problems, it must be those morons below.

And his department heads quickly take up the same attitude. Couldn't be a leadership problem, we're fantastic leaders! The problem is obviously those morons we lead.

And that's what you get.

Off topic, new cars typically go to areas that the probability of them not getting totalled within the first 10,000 miles has always been common practice. The city wants shiny new cars in the airport and 001/018 to give a positive image to the tourists and those with money.

As far as blaming the Sgts, the judges, politicians, media and liberals are the ones to blame. The city was a much safer place 5 years ago before the media began its assault on us. Short of getting in the car every hour of every day with the dogs and pointing out lawbreakers and ordering them to take action, what more can they do? We don't have a quota system and when we have had unofficial quota systems of activity to make teams some guys have gotten themselves jammed up worrying about numbers.

Yes that is the biggest failure of sergeants right now. Not going after the dogs. But really, who becomes the asshole when the sgt does this? The dog or the sgt? There is usually little to no support from other POs when a sgt goes after the dogs. Even though the dog pushes his work onto others by not doing their job it is usually the sgt who becomes the bad guy for doing their job. Then the childish BS starts with the cowardly writings on the walls. Here is an idea, if you are a dog, and you know who you are because everyone else you work with does, have at least a little bit of a spine and accept responsibility for your lack or work ethic. Stop blaming the sgt, the dept, the unfairness, the clout system, etc, for your failures and your laziness. Just do your job. If you don't want to, then stop asking for things and stop expecting things. If you choose to be a dog then expect to be treated like one. Where did this ridiculous sense of entitlement come from, where dog asses think the deserve something for just showing up. Be thankful you don't work a minimum wage job because you would have been fired long ago.

Almost all of our exempt members were at one time a Sergeant on this job. Each and every one knows that we have the worst job on the CPD. Not because we face more danger then the average P.O., we don't, but because we catch grief from those subordinate, and those superior. No answer is ever fast enough or good enough. We take blame from all above and below, if we say no we are a jagoff, and if we say yes we are a jagoff. We are responsible for the behavior, appearance, and performance of grown adults. We are given the dirty work by those superior, who prefer we be the bad guy so they don't have to. I challenge those exempt members to back their Sergeants but expect they will not. I challenge the Superintendent to fuck with us, and see how that works out for his "plan".
You came in during a time when crime and murder were hitting historic lows, and with belligerent arrogance, removed the mechanisms that made that possible. The processes were working, and your new processes have seen us to the highest murder rate we have seen in a long time. Do you really think anyone believes that crime is at an all-time low, with the exception of murder? Or are there statistical manipulations being orchestrated by a trained and vetted facilitator of a statistical model that has been proven in all the cities it is used as fraudulent. You are a fraud, and because your fraudulent results are politically beneficial, they are accepted by your benefactor. Fuck you, Jagoff!!!

From a Good Source:

1. Sgt test WILL happen. Looks like next year November sometime.

2. Detective test they want to do away with. Doesn't look promising.

3. SWAT - yeah right.

4. Marine Unit- (#1 clout unit) talked about but does not look good for CPD clout hacks. Talk of CFD taking over. Looking to downsize.

5. Canine/ET - ET test talked about and will happen. Looks like end of 2012. Canine will take from existing list.

So, to the guys in the districts still pushing that 2001 ford crown vic with 135,000 miles on it dont worry, the airports are getting the cars first.... Not you, you dont need it. I first thought maybe it was because of some special federal funding etc but it turns out thats not the case at all. Some brain child just decided it would be "nice" to get the new trucks out at the airports first. What a joke. stay safe in those rolling coffins in patrol, the new cars are at the airport.

Check out your facts. The Airport Units vehicles, radio's, etc come from Department of Aviation funds. And before that we were driving the same death traps you were talking about. I'm sorry anyone has to drive crap vehicles but to bitch when someone gets one before you is childish. So before you start on bashing me next, I had 28 years on when I won a bid to the Airport after working in 014, 015, 010 & 011.

I agree with you for the most part, but what happens when a Sergeant does his job and insures the PO does their job? That Sgt's name ends up on here being smeared and slammed like he is some outrageous dictator. For telling someone to put a beat tag on. Or telling them to wear the uniform properly and shave the goatee, they have their name dragged through the mud on here, publicly.


That is the problem with some Sergeants. We don't care about whether or not our fellow PO's are clean shaven!!! When we say do your job, we mean the guys who do absolutely everything in their power to do nothing. Those are the guys you should be doing something about. Not the best worker on the watch who forgot to shave because he has been in court all week.

Remember when Weisworm moved all or most of the 25 commanders? I'd like to see a chart of who has been assigned where and back again or promoted.

Assignments seem to be made via a "Wheel of Fortune" type system.

It doesn't matter where you put people if they don't have direction from the top. And that's especially true for the dummies like Carrothers, et. al.!

Where'd that 14 year-old kid go who spent half a tour on patrol? He could probably do just as good of a job as half of the command staff.

Good for you Sgt. I am a worker and I appreciate the fact that you let the dogs know that they are on a short leash.

12/05/2012 04:06:00 PM

boy he sounds like a really scary Sgt. I bet everyone is just quaking in their boots over there.

Sgt's in D unit pressuring us to clear more patterns, make more arrests, do more line-ups all of a sudden, bring people in, reclassify reports. Burglaries are all of a sudden thefts from building. Unbelievable.

I would be happy to perform the duties of detective if I could stop getting 20+ jobs per week.

Maybe I can make calls from my cell phone in the restroom while I'm on the pot, or balance a laptop on my head and type on two keyboards at once.

There is simply no time to do real detective work. I think McAsshat said burglary det's wouldn't get more than 250 cases per year, and robbery det's wouldn't get moe than 150 cases per year.

Over 400 since March. Slower districts not much further behind. Totally undermanned, and D unit commanders taking care of the prissies on days, putting more det's on days than afternoons. Makes sense, huh?

People assigned to do one thing do nothing of the sort. Some prima donna property crimes det's only get homicide/violent crimes. Some assigned to youth get whatever their clout says.

As long as we have sergeants that go out ,drink ,and fraternize with those whom they supervise, it will be hard to maintain discipline within the ranks. How can you write a subordinate(when called for) then shoot the shit with them later?

;After listening to our fearless leader once again quote that chicago has the highest number of officers per capita i decided to do a little research. Per the 2011 census, chicago has 2 ,707,120 citizens while new york has 8,244,910. New York has, in 2011, 34450 budgeted positions but due to hiring they really have 36600. They also have 4500 auxillary officers and 5000 school safety agents. Chicago has 11500 budgeted spots,supposedly, but in reality probably 8-9000 officers with zero auxillary or safety agents. New York then has a total of 46100 officers meaning they have 1 officer for every 179 citizens. Even if you only take their budgeted number, it's 1 for every 239 citizens. Chicago, on the other hand, would have 1 officer for every 235 citizens if we were at full strength, which we are not. We are actually in the range of 1 officer for every 300-338 citizens. Not exactly jiving with McCarthy's assertion.
And i was able to look up all this info on the internet and make calculations in about 2 minutes. Why cant our media take the 2 minutes and call him out?

What plan? Cause the gangs are his problem since McGoof has no idea of how patrolling chicago really is like and the hacks of Compstat instead of hiding behind a desk job, should be out n the streets!!!! McGoof is the reason the problem gets worse by the minute, idiot!!!! He should resign and go back to New York!! The sgts who are in the field with the rest of officers a lot of them are shaky but, at least are n patrol and not hiding behind a desk like McGoof and his posse. McGoof, we suck!? Come out and patrol with us and get the crs, get sued and get crappy leadership that you, yourself have provided, come out and start making arrests McGoof!!!

Please the dogass coppur now a days is the issue. A majority of officers these days use every bullshit reason to lay down and do nothing. I am sick of the whoa is me crap from the sissy TRU and MSF guys. You guys got launched over 3 yrs ago Get over it already. You knew that going in. Get some time on the job and make a bid. Till then do your time as 5 yr wonders and EARN your spot. The next crybaby I hear crying about an early or late car, or the fact they got launched I am gonna lay out. SUCK IT UP. We all been screwed at some point or had to earn our time.


All you fools dogging on the Sgt's can please come to my district out south. The Sgt's are the only ones rolling on calls and giving back up to other officers while the Dogs hide out and claim beat integrity. They roll by our stops and most of the time there are more of them at a hot call than P.O.'s. We appreciate them all and its finally a great thing to have backup

I was in NYC where there is an abundance of cops on seemingly every corner in Mid-town. I walked up to a threesome this morning, said, "Hi, officers. I'm from Chicago and was wondering if you could do us a favor and take McCarthy back?" The two younger ones had quizical looks on their face, but the older officer gave a belly laugh and said, "Nooooo. He's all yours now."

Merry Xmas everyone

Answer your calls and come clear in a timely fashion, back each other up without being asked to do so, write a violation if you observe it, shit at least stop the car that breaks the law right in front of you!



OK "Boss" what ever you say "Boss"

OK "Dog ass" what ever you say "Dog ass"

It is called doing the "minimum" requirements for your job. Not asking you to be the police, just the bare minimum. Try doing your job once. I am sure it will be a novel experience for you. You may even learn something.

Congratulations! You have got to be one of the biggest losers that has ever posted on this blog. How in the fuck does an officer that is not clean shaven, or god forbid, not have a glorious beat tag, hurt another officer?! please tell me!!! Im clean shaven, have a beat tag, and guess what? I could give two shits if someone else isnt. The fact that your posting this shit at 3am tells me that you must be friendless, hopeless, and a total no balls employee. Merry Christmas fuck wad.

Who is the loser here? It is part of your job you immature dog ass POS. I am sure you are a super star copper, telling all the little girlies what a hero you are while you spend your tour hiding in your hole. You are not listening to the message here, I think if you pulled you head out of your lazy ass you may better understand what that person was saying. As far a posting a 3:26, some working cops get home that late. And believe it or not the police work 24 hours a day. Yeah, and move out of your parent's basement. Bitch.

Besides beat tags and shaving, a lot of you guys are forgetting about exposed hand cuffs! They need to start putting coppers in callback immediately for that violation. Sgts should be allowed to use cattle prods to zap sloppy officers for such monstrous violations.

To the poster that responded to that vicious officer that called that other officer a fuck wad while wishing him a merry christmas, thank you. Your ilk is just exactly what this department needs to turn itself around. How about you get a crew together of some other similarly retarded officers like yourself....dress up as guardian angels and start following around cops while you are off duty and write them up for infractions? You guys can glue beat tags to your heads so that everyone knows what a bunch of tough no nonsense cops that you are.

My parents are done letting me use their computer now. I never worked midnights because of my chinaman. Try not biting your cabbage patch doll too hard after reading this dick wad.

Sgts. aren't going to do anything without support from the chain of command...in 017 3rd watch, the LT. lets a few inmates run the watch and I meant P.O.s not sgts...he doesn't back his sgts. at all and as a result, cars stay down on non paper, non arrest jobs for hours, blow jobs off, use the radio for their personal glorification, refuse jobs, etc....the few sgts that want to address these issues the legit way are told by the LT. to look the other way cuz he is afraid of his own shadow and doesn't want to be that guy..how can sgts. be expected to lead when their own LT. can't even lead from the front? Pathetic

Fellow officers, please stop debating the small stuff. We really make ourselves look like idiots when we complain about doing the things we knew we'd have to when we took this job. Guys, just cut your hair, get rid of the braids,shave, wear a proper uniform, and show up on time. Ladies please put the damn hair up, get rid of those ridiculous fake hair extentions, and long nails. Everybody, get rid of those earings. Don't wait to be told, have a little pride in yourself and do it on your own. Oh, and for crying out loud... don't be a dog ass. Consider this for a New Year's resolution. Just saying.

We had that sort of class years ago during the Weis era. We had a good fast district crew and a good class with a mix of whiteshirts from all over the department. What made our district good was stuff we were doing already. Things like being approachable, never yelling, a sense of humor, a forgiving attitude to anyone who works. A lot involved warning the troops what was coming down the pipe and protecting them from H.Q.

If your own D.C. has to sit in the same class it won't be the same. It will be how to protect the D.C., not how to protect the troops.

----------------------------------- So it doesn't bother you that the dogs who can't or won't follow rules or take the time to look professional get you lumped in the same light as them? If you are ok with this, then don't get offended when someone says "you cops are all alike." If you are taking the time to meet grooming standards and follow established procedures, you are demeaning yourself by accepting behavior by those who don't. You may not be able to change their behavior, but please, for your sake and others like you, don't condone it.

You're a little whiny bitch. The cars are paid for by aviation, they are ordered by aviation. The money comes from the airlines and FAA. The salaries and overtime costs of po's assigned there are reimbursed by the airlines, as well as equipment costs. You want to cry more?

Didn't make it to the "D" unit huh tough guy? Maybe if you weren't a dogass. Chief Byrne is the best guy out there, so you really don't know what you are talking about.

How exactly do you "make it to the D"? You take a test and get promoted or promoted meritoriously you moron. You don't just transfer in. And you somehow know an anonymous poster is a dogass? Chief Byrne is a nice guy but that doesn't mean he's not a sneak. Maybe the original poster can clarify why he's a sneak.

So who is to blame? We took this job as it was one we wanted. Morale has destroyed many but do you remember you are your own person. At one time we had great bosses. We did all we could to make them look good. Our Sgts. We're ones we could turn to for advice or help. All has gone to crap! Us POs know our job and what need to be done better than our supervisors. There is no longer respect. All I'm saying is respect yourself stay safe return home each night safe We can no longer depend on others except for those few
