CompStat Follies
Once again, the kool-aid was flowing thick and sweet at HQ Thursday. One of our commentators on the scene reports what was observed:
- The Superintendent was in great form at CompStat today, After he got done rabbit punching the Commander of 012 he had this little nugget:
All the overtime we have spent on the time and half VRI is NOT responsible for the decrease in shootings and homicides in February.
Incredibly he claims all that money and all those coppers working their days off have only prevented 1 murder and two shootings in the areas they deployed to. I honestly don't know where he gets this nonsense.
Almost $1 million a week and only one killing and two shootings were prevented. That's an amazingly bad return on the investment. It might be assumed that the Stuporintendent wants to have his cake and eat it, too.
But Wysinger took the cake.
But Wysinger took the cake.
- Al gave his speech at the close again, telling all the assembled that we needed to get more good news in the media. He told all the bosses and observers to go back to the districts and tell everyone that the brass appreciated their efforts that led to a homicide-free Tuesday this week.
Someone must have covered the windows in Al's office again - we had 9 inches of snow Tuesday.
Remember, these are our "leaders." One spends money like a drunken sailor stopping crime, then claims that isn't what's stopping crime. The other doesn't even remember the biggest snowfall in two years occurred 48 hours ago.

The windows weren't covered, his tin foil hat keeps sliding down over his eyes.
Good 'ol Al's had the blinders on for quite a few years now!
HAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!
Naaaww! they didn't cover Al's windows... Somebody snuck in his office and painted a picture of the streets below on the glass!
"Man! This strategy of the day shit is really working! Ain't SHIT goin' on out there!"
They pipe in the sounds of birds chirping and heavenly harps playing on every channel of his radio too...
They don't even try to hide how crazy, paranoid, delusional and detached from reality they are anymore.
So, now he's psychic, on top of all his other astonishing abilities? He can divine what did not happen, because it would have happened, except it was prevented from happening by what has no effect on it?
My brain cannot handle this; it's like 'string theory' gone mad.

♫.. You put some coppers in / You pull some coppers out / write up a dozen contact cards and shake them all about. Do the McHokey-pokey and then say that crime is down THAT's what it's all about...
Yeah I know....I know.

You would think after making fools of themselves so many times, Al and Mc would get tired of it.
They inspire me to do a half-assed job myself and then put in an out-of-grade slip for my fine work.
A once great department down the tubes! Very SAD!!!
Two questions: First off I work part time as a PO in a suburb PD and was wondering if I got hired by the City of Chicago as as a PO would I be able to keep my part time PO job in the suburb. Is their anything against CPD Union rules prohibiting that? Secondly, we currently have around five CFD employes working as a part time PO at the same Department. Does the CFD union allow this or is it prohibited? Thank you.
OT...This is a very sad and frankly an embarrassing story for the CPD. We heard rummors of a tact Sgt. in 019 writing a ticket on the R man, but assumed it was either not true or an accident, but this morning we heard the story straight from the horses mouth and it was disturbing.
While getting G and O at Area 3 garage we were approached by two mechanics, one being the R man who got the ticket from the 019th Tact Sgt. Since we were plain clothes, he asked if we work in 019 tact and know a Sgt. D. Garrity that wrote him a ticket? We're not from 019, so we didn't know this Sgt. He and the other mechanics who were now all gathering went on to say this Sgt. D. Garrity actually wrote the R man's City of Chicago Motor Maintence vehicle that he was driving and working in. They then pointed to the vehicle that this sgt. wrote which was a marked city of chicago van, the same one that comes to the station to fix our police cars. It's bad enough that this Sgt. Garrity wrote the R man's marked city work vehicle while he was working, but he wrote this vehicle at the AREA 3 GARAGE parking lot, right next to the pumps! This Sgt. wrote the ticket on the work vehicle at the R man's place of work! Holy FUCK! They went on to say that the R man was unloading his tools and this Sgt. got impatient at the pumps because he was double parked. We couldn't believe it, but all the mechanics were now talking about it and said their bosses were furious. They were half kidding I think, saying "019 will be getting slow service now." They were mostly curious why a tact Sgt. would write a ticket especially on a marked city vehicle at the area 3 garage. This was embarrassing for us and we wish we could leave, but we had to wait to get our car back. Feel bad for the guys that are on this tact sgt.'s team. Sounds like a real soft ball. Nice work you merit clown! Anyone in 019 know this guy?
How is it possible to know what is prevented unless you have prior knowledge that the thing prevented was about to occur? I'm sure VRI prevents certain crimes from happening in the immediate area merely because of constant police presence. But that would be impossible to quantify unless the would be offender confesses to the crime he planned to commit if not for the police passing by every minute. Jeeeez...
VRI works but is unsustainable.
I hope all you chumps working VRI can read. Read between the lines, that is.
What McDeliriumTremens is saying - in so many words - is that your new car or boat payment or the nut on that lake house is about to go bye-bye.
Seems the financial wizards figured out that this type of program isn't financially sustainable, nor is it returning quite the bang for the buck they had hoped it would.
Bailing now saves face later; the inevitable failure of any type of supplemental manpower initiative can be directly attributed to the omnipresent Chicago savagery. The summer weather only exacerbates this phenomenon.
Not even 400 VRI officers daily, fucking off on their smart phones, sleeping or playing police in that 4-by-2 block box - only to try and lujack their on-view bullshit to a beat car - can really make a difference in areas that don't want a difference made.
This is one of those extremely rare occasions where throwing good money after bad will actually be nipped in the bud. Partly because the knee-jerk VRI charade has already shown it isn't working as planned, but more so because the police are benefitting from it. And they're not shy about just how much they're benefitting, as evidenced by the braggarts in the SCC blogosphere. And Mayor McUnionBuster won't have the police happy if he has anything to say about it.
Prediction: VRI manpower will be whittled down as summer approaches. Simultaneously, some unit not unlike MSF or TRU will be assembled. The city will keep some officers around to whore themselves out to VRI while securing enough gullible hair gels to man spots on this latest reincarnation of an "elite" unit. Then before you know it, there'll be that blurb in the CO book to be read for seven consecutive days: "Effective immediately, the VRI program will no longer be available as a Special Employment option".
You will have been used once again, and another group of volunteers will be breaking their necks to be the first to sign up to give their contractually won rights away to a city and department that won't even honor the promise of funding your pension.
Wasn't it just the lead story in the scum times the other day how McCocknballs was crediting VRI with the low February homicide numbers?
He must have been in a blackout and doesn't remember.
was he rabbit punching melissa staples--- nice lady and very good to blue shirts--- I worked for her for awhile and she was a breath of fresh air in a stale room--- tell the whiskey swilling womanizing scaredy cat to go f""k himself--- you will feel better and your people will back you up...
So wait!!! Mcdumbass actually knows when murderss are going to happen before they happen??? How else would he know what was prevented??? This would make a great t.v. show. Quantam Heap starring Gary Mcbraindead and his sidekick Al running around the streets of Chicago...trying to stop gangbangers from killing each other...yet failing miserably. Oh...actually...its reality t.v. on every night at 10 on 2 5 and 7.
The idiot leading the blind.
Sorry to say VRI is working, bitch all you want but the police have once again taken over the streets!
With the activity generated,it probably pays for itself, so dont try to say its costing the city millions!
Have to give the supe a high five, and lets see how it plays out.
I'm saying, homicides will drop at least 20% over last year, just on the intimidation factor, of knowing these police are more aggressive, than beat cops.
A beat cop has no inspiration to do more than answer calls!
Yes the supe messed up in the beginning, and I always say, hire from within, but with politics that doesnt even matter!Look at our meritorious leaders! No respect for any of them!!!
TRU and MSF were needed.
But now he is playing the hand much better than what he was dealt!!
Just an opinion!!!
LMAO The sup says we don't need more police, but putting more cops on the streets is decreasing crime, but at compstat meetings we are not decreasing crime.
There is an increase in the decrease, of the increase when they decrease to the increase to WTF?
Oh and to the HOMIE SIDE comment, wait till summer you freaking goof. I guarantee you wherever the zone is, the homicides will occur just outside of it.
Welcome to BOZOS circus.
And the public wonders why crime is rampant in Chi-Town ?
The high command doesn't have a clue.
Must be the contact cards?
Must be the event numbers?
The higher up, the more insulation.
This is completely of topic. Can anyone tell me how
You can look up what units are accepting applications?
I think $1 mil might be worth it? Not on the dead one, but two shot could easily costs $1 mil in hospital, after care, SSI, SSD; and on and on and on and on.
$1 million - could be a bargain.
They screwed up, told the media VRI is a success now once the money is gone and need to end the program the media will hold them to the success of the program. His comment tells me that the mayor doesn't want everyone thinking this overtime will be around all year
This is the best that the socialists could do. Get used to it. There's a reason that communism failed everywhere in the world.
What happened at compstat? To hear people who came back to 012 tell it, 012 did great.
I dont get it, how do you prove a negative? Why not say the extra officers stopped 100 shootings.
There is good news at Beatrice's. Everyone who threw up there on Tuesday made it to the bathroom first. Not one mess on he floor.
never been to a Compstat meeting, but apparently they are open to anyone of any rank....anyway, seems like they are great theater; might be worth it to attend and see the clowns perform; would a standing ovation be out of order?

Its Contract Time people. Hopefully our new Mayor will have pity on us. All I care about is getting a retro check. Fuck everything else. I'm relying on a $3,000 plus check.......I will be one happy guy. I finally want to get a new pool. Last time we got shit for retro, hopefully FOP doesn't drop the ball this time. There are plenty of us here in my roll call alone that are depending on a big retro check. Lets keep our fingers crossed!
Hey SCC....can you maybe start a main thread on here asking people what they are going to spend their retro check money on??? It will kinda be a "positive" thread hearing all the stuff people are going to buy/need/want. Just a thought.....instead of all the negative. For me......it's a new 18 ft pool!!!!

Biggest snowfall in 2 years. It was feb 2011 when we had the snow. Lets not try to change facts
Hey McMurdercounter, we can't get all sorts of "numbers" when there is a foot of snow on the ground.... But don't worry, soon it will warm up and you'll have all the homicides you could possibly dream of.
"Sorry to say VRI is working" . Yeah it's working. So did the task force, SOG, SOS, TRU, and MSF. Working a beat ties you down to CALLS . Roaming around freely gives you freedom. This isn't rocket science .
I wouldn't be praising McPander. He was adiment about no need for crime units as described. That's just plain stupidity and lack of history knowledge. He'll tow whatever company line Rahmmy tells him to. He has absolutely no shame or integrity.

You owe me a new keyboard.
Do the part time suburban guy. You can't keep that gig at least not for the year and a half you are on probation. No idea what CFD rules are I'm pretty sure they're good to work it though. After your 18 months getting fucked in the ass by CPD u won't want that suburban side job anyway
Mother nature is what has murders/shootings decreasing recently. Let the snow thaw and the animals back out on street with their illegal straw purchase gats and we'll see if McCompstat numbers change. I'm guessing quite a jump upwards when we hit 60's temps again. Compstat mtgs.are just a reason for this incompetent drunk jag off to belittle and scream at his peers, and to stroke his Ginormous hypocritical/hypercritical(of Others) inflated ego. Fucking Joke of a boss, fucking joke of a bulshit stat system.

TROOOOOOOOL.can you say troll troll. Troll troll trol. Troll alert. You guys are so easy to pick out. Are you a troll from rhamtard.....mccarthy......or alme.no.see.no.snow!
Just a Citizen:
I did not go to college and yet.... How can I see that the weather has everything to do with the lower crime rate in the jungles of Chicago? When it's cold out and the snow is piled up, the wildings stay in. Do you honestly think (pick any mug shot of any wilding) would shovel his sidewalk and driveway? No. Plus, it's a known fact wildings don't like cold weather. When it's warmer, they go out and have penis measuring contests with each other by seeing who can be the most violent and who is the toughest guy in their little club, aka, gang. Now that the murders and violence are out of control due to the mental illness of all liberals, do you mean to tell me that NOBODY can figure out how to stop it? McMuffin had to get called in? Why? What has this idiot ever done on his own? And Rahm can't help because he can't see over the steering wheel so he has no clue where he is going. Who the hell is in charge? Do we, as citizens, have to start taking care of this shit by ourselves? With crossbows and sling shots and whatever other type of "weapon" we can use that isn't deemed "dangerous" by the higher up liberals? Must be hide in the bushes behind Water Tower and start taking them out one by one? You guys cannot do it by yourselves because you have "rules to follow" or else. But us citizens can do something. I am sick of this shit. I am sick of not being able to walk anywhere. I am sick of not being able to go to a store without having to deal with their snarling faces. Or is it the simple answer that Chgo finally got what's coming. Years and years and decades of corruptness. Comes home to roost and it's too late? We the Citizens need some answers. WHAT CAN WE DO TO HELP? Reading your blog is great, it keeps us in the loop, but it doesn't solve anything.
Funny how Gmack called the 200 plus cops working everyday for OT on their days off the "Violence Reduction Initiative (VRI)", but commented a week ago that "hiring more cops won't stop the violence." Then why are you calling more cops on the street working OT "Violence Reduction?"

Two answers and one obvious:
1) No. Prohibited.
2) Yes. Legal.
3) You are a pimp.
The areas that are high crime and they get extra manpower from off duty p.o.'s working over time. Sorry it's a win for the city by not hiring more police and its a win for us by giving us extra money in poor economic times. I don't know if you know this , but many police deparments have been doing this cost saving practice for years . I have a feeling that you where in one of the units and were reassigned to district law enforcement. I suggest that you make the best of a bad situation and make the extra money by working the OT or cta. I made over $15,000 last year extra last year.
... killings down in Feb from one reason and one reason only... crap weather..wait till it gets hot ..untold number of grudges and scores to settle. Chicago will reign as murder capital of America.
The reality is that increased police presence DOES deter crime and the fact that he is putting 400 more officers on the street clearly shows his actions are different from his words. He has also shown his inability to plan ahead. The fact that the City has had to rent/lease cars some with out of state license plates to augment the current fleet is further proof that McNumbnuts did not plan ahead. If you doubt me go to 6120 S. Racine, the cars are parked west of the building against the guardrail. However, they will not hire more officers because the City population is down and dying. Chicago is already dead in some places. I drove though Austin this weekend and was shocked to see how it has declined. It looks like Detroit. So suck up the overtime because it is cheaper to pay you than to hire new officers with a benefit pkg. for 20 yrs into the furture.
It's bad enough that this Sgt. Garrity wrote the R man's marked city work vehicle while he was working, but he wrote this vehicle at the AREA 3 GARAGE parking lot, right next to the pumps!
Outside of handicapped parking and *maybe* fire lanes, can we even write tickets on private property, even if it's city-owned?
Don't they have to be on a public way?
And yeah, you got the sergeant's name in there plenty of times.
To the PO in the Burbs,You cant have another Job when you are a PPO.
"Almost $1 million a week and only one killing and two shootings were prevented. That's an amazingly bad return on the investment."
But...but...
"If it saves only one life."
I'm confused.
Why oh why!!!!!!! I went to check the weather on CLTV and low and behold McCarthy is holding a press conference..live...1030 a.m. with Dick Durbin..and a host of other press hungry animals...regarding gun legislation...our boss was talking about how Cease fire is working in Boston and another east coast city.....and how we will be working side by side with them. "it never stops....it never stops"
"[Spend] money like a drunken sailor stopping crime, then [claim] that isn't what's stopping crime."
Hey, simple. The assholes just won't give the troops credit for anything.
...and then they put up some "18-day long Summer Drunk Fest At Wilson Ave. Beach, Special First Responders Day," you are supposed to bring your family out there and "picnic," but be darting your eyes around policing the thing for them for free.
Right.

Once you start the police academy (which is 6 months) you can not have a side job. After you are done with the academy you can do whatever you do on your side job. You just can't work security at a place that serves liquor. That's it. As far as CFD goes, I don't know their rules.
Say what you want, but VRI is working. Plus it doesn't cost the city anything because the officers are generating so much revenue for the city- 5 parkers and 5 movers. That alone pays for all that overtime. On top of that, you have virtually the whole department writing 5 parkers and 5 movers. I'll be the city is actually making more money out of this deal, even after accounting for paying the overtime. Rahm and Gary are really not that dumb.
If all the bosses stood up to McKarthy and told him to go fuck himself they would have the complete backing of the Men & Women in Blue.
Problem is... Most of the bosses don't have a hair on their ass to get the nerve to stand up for themselves. Al, Im shocked at you. TRADER!

If the story is true about the 019 tact Sgt writing the RMan then it just shows you how bad the merit process is making people like this supervisors. Poor decisions, bad choices and Bad leadership! He's got to be a real treat to work for.

Had to go to 26th Street today for jury duty. What a sight driving from Western Ave. to California Ave. via 26th Street - nothing but grafitti from one end to the other. Unbelieveable!!!
Are we going to be able to do Police Work soon?
I'm getting contact card writer's cramp.
I'm doing my job though;
not getting into trouble because,
the criminal is always right.
not doing anything physical that can get me hurt because,
when I retire I will probably be on Obama care.
working off duty for cash money because,
the money I pay into Soc Sec comes with a 60 percent penalty,
and,
need money to send my kids to private school because Chicago public schools are crap,
and
need to save money for retirement because the pension I was promised will be unrecognizable at retirement.
I know Sgt. D G.... he's a good guy will take care of you, he's with the program.....however I think there may be more to this story if true. I have worked with him for years and he has always done the right thing. So I gotta wait for more info on this one, this isthefirst I have heard of it and I work in 019.
(e) all of the above
Ot. Did anyone other than me note the name of the individual featured in the photograph on the front page of the Scum Times today?None other than Ceasefire's very own Rev. ROBIN HOOD. Those must be some of his Merry Men in the background. Priceless.
But the media would never put it out the totally straight truth way: McCarthy disbanding MSF and TRU caused people to die. Rahmster dance not hiring police officers and letting McCarthy to disband TRU and MSF caused even more people to die.
Face the facts: RahmCarthy kills people.
Unfortunately this 019 tact Sgt. Made us all look bad especially the coppers in 019. It sure sounds like the word has spread through all the area garages. Writing a ticket on the guys work truck at the garage is unheard of. My question is "why is this tack Sgt. Writing parking tickets anyway?" Doesn't he have any self control or know how to handle a simple silly situation? This is beyond dumb. The bosses in 019 must be proud. Hope the Rman gets out of the ticket

meanwhile, my beat, my block and my family get zero police service and protection. I work, pay lots of taxes, never have been locked up, never received a ticket driving, go to church on sunday and make my kids do homework and come in before curfew. The Chicago way huh!
Ceasefire wants credit for the drop in homicides - see today's Sun-Times. Let's see: 32 total mediations from October through January, 24 people on the payroll and a "brilliant" peace treaty to solve disputes at a LIQUOR store! All that for a Million dollars.
And they don't "snitch" - to the police, that is. Hope this wasn't tax-payer money.

He will be here as long as he chooses to be
Crime down everywhere in 012 and all they can complain about is that contact cards are written under 60% by beat officers on their beats. Maybe he shoud give a boss a pat on the back for the proactive policing being done. Especially by someone more qualified to be Supt. than he is.

OT...This is a very sad and frankly an embarrassing story for the CPD. We heard rummors of a tact Sgt. in 019 writing a ticket on the R man, but assumed it was either not true or an accident, but this morning we heard the story straight from the horses mouth and it was disturbing.
While getting G and O at Area 3 garage we were approached by two mechanics, one being the R man who got the ticket from the 019th Tact Sgt. Since we were plain clothes, he asked if we work in 019 tact and know a Sgt. D. Garrity that wrote him a ticket? We're not from 019, so we didn't know this Sgt. He and the other mechanics who were now all gathering went on to say this Sgt. D. Garrity actually wrote the R man's City of Chicago Motor Maintence vehicle that he was driving and working in. They then pointed to the vehicle that this sgt. wrote which was a marked city of chicago van, the same one that comes to the station to fix our police cars. It's bad enough that this Sgt. Garrity wrote the R man's marked city work vehicle while he was working, but he wrote this vehicle at the AREA 3 GARAGE parking lot, right next to the pumps! This Sgt. wrote the ticket on the work vehicle at the R man's place of work! Holy FUCK! They went on to say that the R man was unloading his tools and this Sgt. got impatient at the pumps because he was double parked. We couldn't believe it, but all the mechanics were now talking about it and said their bosses were furious. They were half kidding I think, saying "019 will be getting slow service now." They were mostly curious why a tact Sgt. would write a ticket especially on a marked city vehicle at the area 3 garage. This was embarrassing for us and we wish we could leave, but we had to wait to get our car back. Feel bad for the guys that are on this tact sgt.'s team. Sounds like a real soft ball. Nice work you merit clown! Anyone in 019 know this guy?

Tell the Rman to get a CR#. The same thing happened a few years back and the PO took 25 days.
Just an opinion!!!
3/08/2013 03:53:00 AM
If you are not kidding, you must be blinded by the money you are making from it. No sane person can miss the obvious.
When the homicide rate falls to an acceptable level, meaning it won't set another record, VRI will disappear and be forgotten. Nobody cares about gangbangers killing each other accept the politicians and other gangbangers.
There will be no police hired because of VRI. There will be no help for our pension. There will be no back up when some poor copper needs it and a family will loose a loved one.
So go ahead and high five the Superintendent. I'll wait for the next one and see.
This is completely of topic. Can anyone tell me how
You can look up what units are accepting applications?

If yous gotta ask, deys aint takin yous. Capish??
You can not work as the "police" anywhere else (Board of Ethics.) Think if you shot someone while working part time for Rosemont..They would still sue Chicago....
You also can't have any part time jobs while on probation (18 months.)
whatever happened to "professionals"?....meaning, the best of the best (not so much college degreed people, since degrees are almost a dime a dozen)....meaning, what ever happened to leaders, who are experienced, educated, folks with common sense and family values, folks with integrity, intelligence, and character (described to me as, character is defined by what one says and does, how they act and behave, when....no one is watching)......so, one could say, the entire staff at 35th Street, and most of the clowns at City Hall, are defective...

Its Contract Time people. Hopefully our new Mayor will have pity on us. All I care about is getting a retro check. Fuck everything else. I'm relying on a $3,000 plus check.......I will be one happy guy. I finally want to get a new pool. Last time we got shit for retro, hopefully FOP doesn't drop the ball this time. There are plenty of us here in my roll call alone that are depending on a big retro check. Lets keep our fingers crossed!
Hey SCC....can you maybe start a main thread on here asking people what they are going to spend their retro check money on??? It will kinda be a "positive" thread hearing all the stuff people are going to buy/need/want. Just a thought.....instead of all the negative. For me......it's a new 18 ft pool!!!!

Hey I.F.I.Y.G.D.
You sound alot like a hair gel who can't get VRI. I Don't care what McNumbnuts says about it. Like most cops who live in this city, we need the extra income because we refuse to send our kids to what the city calls a school. So if I get the chance to make some extra cash, even on the city, I'll jump at it.
In general, I like most of what you post, here I think your off base. Yeah some of these guys don't give a shit about being in a box and giving the call to a beat car.
For me, VRI is a supplemental income and wheather the city pays me or CommEd, or whomever, I'll take the cash.
in regards to 012 the supt asked 012, which leads the city in officers assigned why they are consistently lower in productivity that measures the number of street stops or contact cards.....if the blueshirts like melissa then write one contact card a day and you she will be an all star..... one thing that came up at the meeting is that she has 6 tact teams. if she has 6 tact teams and she is one of the worst districts in street stops then she should get a new tact lt.... don't blame g mac for putting her on the hot seat.... crime is up and productivity is down...... common sense...... come on 012 put the latte down, catch the robbery crew on Milwaukee, make a few street stops and then you can tell garry to stfu
:
"Crime down everywhere in 012 and all they can complain about is that contact cards are written under 60% by beat officers on their beats. Maybe he should give a boss a pat on the back for the proactive policing being done. Especially by someone more qualified to be Supt. than he is."
don't know anything about the 12th District., but.....if McBONEHEAD knows anything, some, anyone, if his commanders, will leave, and others, who might be otherwise qualified, will not apply for commanders' positions ....well.....what's the mystery here?....why don't the most senior, most educated, most experienced lieutenants apply for command positions?.........HEY! MCGOOF! look in the mirror!

But the media would never put it out the totally straight truth way: McCarthy disbanding MSF and TRU caused people to die. Rahmster dance not hiring police officers and letting McCarthy to disband TRU and MSF caused even more people to die.
Face the facts: RahmCarthy kills people
Pure Bullshit The dog asses kill each other, not Rahm or McCarthy. Yea all those bs arrests by TRU and MSF kept the citizens alive You live in LaLa land
If all the bosses stood up to McKarthy and told him to go fuck himself they would have the complete backing of the Men & Women in Blue.
Problem is... Most of the bosses don't have a hair on their ass to get the nerve to stand up for themselves. Al, Im shocked at you. TRADER
No,all they do is come back to the troops and fuck over them, with all the contacts cards, etc and mess with the troops to protect their own jobs
A reliable source from IPRA says that the Director of IPRA has ordered her supervisors to ensure their people sustain CR numbers on officers and expecially supervisors even if the accused officers have evidence or witnesses to non-sustain or unfound the allegation against them. The investigators have been told to take the word of the complainants nomatter what they were arrested for or criminal back ground. She has been heard stating that her "investigators" can save the city millions just by suspending officers. We all know that IPRA are behind in investigations for over 4 years and some of the investigators are considered incompetent. That is the person most likely to be assigned to a officers case. Lets also remember the IPRA investigators have NO investigation training. Officers, we have no due process or not aloud to furnish witnesses on CR investigations. Those days are gone. Please lets dig deeper into this subject. If I knew how to make this into a topic so others can post their problems with the non-investigative civilian unit of the city, I would either post this into a topic or call someone to do do it for me. I am a 23 year veteran and love this job but this has to come out.

please ignore some of these douchebags we have on this department with their answers. to answer your question, I know you can't work part time at a bar bouncing. cfd probably has no restrictions. you might want to hang on to that part time position after you graduate (no side jobs while on probation) because they way this department is going (see above answer), you might be stuck working with these goofs.

It is only "great" and "proud" if you weren't around to witness how fucked up it was before. When there was not all this incompetence there was massive corruption. Same fucked up shit.
There was a commander of traffic who ordered a fleet of city tow trucks to tow every car police car from anywhere near the old traffic court at 321 N LaSalle. That included unmarked, Illinois State Police, Cook County Sheriff, suburban police etc.
Citizens looked at this side show with their mouths agape realizing that they were paying for all of it.
Cops came out of traffic court and found their squad car gone. When they called the district they were told they had to pay the ticket and redeem the towed city vehicle. Some just said fuck it and went home. Young guys, of course, paid it.
This fucked up police department is nothing new. We used to get 700-900 homicides a year, and that was with killing crime on paper. No one got all flustered.

Unfortunately this 019 tact Sgt. Made us all look bad especially the coppers in 019. It sure sounds like the word has spread through all the area garages. Writing a ticket on the guys work truck at the garage is unheard of. My question is "why is this tack Sgt. Writing parking tickets anyway?" Doesn't he have any self control or know how to handle a simple silly situation? This is beyond dumb. The bosses in 019 must be proud. Hope the Rman gets out of the ticket
3/08/2013 12:25:00 PM
Doesn't anybody have any fucking sense any more?
Go to court with the R-Man, in uniform if possible, and look for one of the shyster lawyers working the halls of traffic court and ask one to represent the guy. Offer to pay if necessary. The R-Man gets off and goes home feeling good about the police again. No hard feelings. Try to make it right.
I did exactly that last year in a slightly different circumstance. The lawyer refused to take any money and said he makes a good living off of the work we do. I thanked him profusely and he got the guy off.
OK, can't anyone figure that the fuck out or do you need a fucking instruction manual?
Feel bad about the R-Man getting shafted with a ticket? Then take care of the guy. All will be good. Even if it costs a few bucks, so what. You did a good deed. It will pay dividends.
To the Blog Author, everyone need to read this. A bunch of us from the 3rd watch of a west side district just heard that ipra is recommending suspensions on old cases and the officers who are being investigated have no rights. We are 3 thousand cops short and suspending cops will just take more off the street. And our bosses bitch when we come in at the end of the night with nothing. Why should we come in with anything. Those investigators don't have our back. They would rather take the word of some shit head than the police. McNutty and his super staff can bitch all they want. Nothing is being taken from their pockets. We have to answer service calls but be very careful, these shit heads know that they can get one over on the city just by making a beaf against you or me. Call a supervisor to the scene of you'r call and let them take the hit when the complaint is made.
By his own yardstick, McCarthy has been ineffective against murder.
He is a CompStat Casualty.

Thanks for chiming in Judy!!!!!
OT: What is with never having district bid openings?? Last ones were in December. We all know every damn district in this city is short. Might raise moral just a tiny bit if people felt they would have some opportunity to move around a bit.
So, let me get this straight- The R MAN tells you some story about a parking ticket. You weren't there. You didn't witness it. You don't have any real details. However, you feel the need to go directly to "the blog", and plaster this sergeant's name a bunch of times in an attempt to disparage a copper without having witnessed anything first-hand. This is how you treat a fellow police officer you HEARD something about from THE R MAN?. Oh, and you know this sergeant is merit, right? Hint: he's not, but you obviously don't care about facts. You just needed to take any opportunity you had to sully the reputation of a fellow police officer. Well done.

Sorry to say VRI is working, bitch all you want but the police have once again taken over the streets!
With the activity generated,it probably pays for itself, so dont try to say its costing the city millions!
Have to give the supe a high five, and lets see how it plays out.
I'm saying, homicides will drop at least 20% over last year, just on the intimidation factor, of knowing these police are more aggressive, than beat cops.
A beat cop has no inspiration to do more than answer calls!

Is their anything against CPD Union rules prohibiting that? Secondly, we currently have around five CFD employes working as a part time PO at the same Department. Does the CFD union allow this or is it prohibited? Thank you.

Tell me the mechanics at the Area 3 Garage are not going to have a work slowdown over the ticket fiasco. If they they move any slower the dicks at Area North will have a ton of Death Investigations on their hands.
Illinois has taken the first step towards their first pension related suit.
The Illinois House has passed a bill allowing them to cap the max salary of a state employee available for pension.
A clear violation in diminishing the pension benefits obtained upon first entering the system whereas your pension is calculated on the last x months of your salary. Anyone who works for x months at a salary higher than their cap has their pension benefit diminished down to the capped level.

Yes there is. You cannot act as a police officer with another employer while employed with CPD.
I believe there is also a stipulation that even when you are in a layoff status you still cannot take work as a police officer for another municipality.

Ensure that you and everyone you know heads to the polls next election and get RID of dipshit thieves like Emanuel and the entire cadre of Alderscum.
Demand a referendum on cutting Alderscum down to at most 25 and cutting off the curb money to the disappeared 25.
Demand a referendum on gutting the TIF program so we can stop the theft of our tax dollars from going to connected contractors who want to build private property using OUR tax money. Demand that recovered tax money goes towards nothing other than paying the debts that are owed by the city, first to it's employees then to those connected crony companies.
That's just a start.

Don't think so. Crime aint down. He beat up the commander about robberies being up and wanted to know what her plans were to stop those. It helps that she is probably to worst public speaker I have ever seen. She was nervous as hell and I think she would have stuttered if you asked her name and birthday. There is something to be said to speaking with a little confidence. And she has none. Easy target. And Al with his f***ing bow tie and bold had. That man has the shiniest bold head I have ever seen. Jesus. That thing was glistening like a son a bitch. They should hand out sun glasses at the door. Goof. And the line about no homicidea and shootings on Tuesday was priceless. He has his head so far up McNumbnuts ass you can see the glisten every time GMac talks. I lost two hours of my life that I will never get back. Be safe to all.
If the story is true about the 019 tact Sgt writing the RMan then it just shows you how bad the merit process is making people like this supervisors. Poor decisions, bad choices and Bad leadership! He's got to be a real treat to work for.
He made it by score, non merit screw shit up as bad as the merit guys. There is no correlation to either. The one flaw in our testing process is very obvious, there is no way to test leadership. I'd rather have a leader than a bookworm.
McSmarter-than-you will be head honcho as long as he likes. He has proven he can turn crime around and inspire the slackers to work. Finally a street cop in the driver's seat.
McIfeelthreatened can rabbit punch and belittle all he wants - everyone in the room knows the 012th Dist. commander is the CHICAGO POLICE and not some drunken carpetbagger hanging from Rahm's puppet string.
I'm sure VRI prevents certain crimes from happening in the immediate area merely because of constant police presence. But that would be impossible to quantify unless the would be offender confesses to the crime he planned to commit if not for the police passing by every minute.
Anonymous said...
The reality is that increased police presence DOES deter crime and the fact that he is putting 400 more officers on the street clearly shows his actions are different from his words. He has also shown his inability to plan ahead. The fact that the City has had to rent/lease cars some with out of state license plates to augment the current fleet is further proof that McNumbnuts did not plan ahead. If you doubt me go to 6120 S. Racine, the cars are parked west of the building against the guardrail. However, they will not hire more officers because the City population is down and dying. Chicago is already dead in some places. I drove though Austin this weekend and was shocked to see how it has declined. It looks like Detroit. So suck up the overtime because it is cheaper to pay you than to hire new officers with a benefit pkg. for 20 yrs into the furture.

Not sure what is your source of information, but the academy has over 300 recruits. Another class will start in a week. Around 120 recruits will graduate by April 8th. He is hiring recruits but the process is very slow with Ladner in charge of HR.
To the Part time copper: Trust me, you will want your day's off away from this crap!!! Wish you the best.
methinks mcstooper might feel a little threatened by the 12th district commander. coming up a little short maybe? do what bullies do best and take pot shots at a stand up woman and police officer when they feel threatened? lets ask mayor litefoot how he handles a better person than he and incorporate into "legitimacy" training.
A little off topic but as usual I have seen the reference mentioned in this string as well as others.
Why do we automatically assume that ALL merit promotions are bad? Or more to the point, every bad supervisor is a merit promotion??
I understand that system is broken but it is not like the testing system is perfect either. There is no shortage of useless miserable bosses that tested for their position.
Just saying.
And Al with his f***ing bow tie and bold had. That man has the shiniest bold head I have ever seen. Jesus.
Our First wears bow ties alot lately, has he become a NOI member?
Revoke the GOLD BRAID PENSION now. Why should some incompetent clout hack jagoff get a larger pension than a legit sergeant? Politics and more politics. The city rewards their "friends" and fucks with their enemies = "non-friends". Actual merit is meaningless in this town. It's "the Chicago Way".
What better place to tighten the pension belt than this gold braid bullshit. Fuck 'em!

Tell the Rman to get a CR#. The same thing happened a few years back and the PO took 25 days.

Are you not getting all this O/T to put you in a good mood for a union contract "YES" vote?
I think so.
I'm reminded of a place that I once worked at in the private sector. The grunts were upset and called the unions in to take a vote to unionize.
On a Friday just prior to the vote the bosses invited everyone out for happy hour and the booze flowed for free all night long.
The following week guess what -- those bosses weren't so bad -- union voted down and a few weeks later back to the same ol' same ol'
That one night of open bar paid for itself nicely. So just think about it.
After the votes are in this program will be gone, gone, gone imo.
After all, what efforts are being done to staff up to continue this surge.
Not sure what is your source of information, but the academy has over 300 recruits. Another class will start in a week. Around 120 recruits will graduate by April 8th. He is hiring recruits but the process is very slow with Ladner in charge of HR.

Oh yeah? And how many officers are leaving out of the 10,000 or so over the next year? Even if the above is true that would barely put you at break even, right?
OT: does anyone know, what happened during the 10-1 last week on zone3? Are the officers ok?

Hey, what did the rock do to piss you off!!! hahahah
Sorry to say VRI is working, bitch all you want but the police have once again taken over the streets!With the activity generated,it probably pays for itself, so dont try to say its costing the city millions!Have to give the supe a high five, and lets see how it plays out.I'm saying, homicides will drop at least 20% over last year, just on the intimidation factor, of knowing these police are more aggressive, than beat cops.A beat cop has no inspiration to do more than answer calls!
---'-------------------------------------------
The sad thing is, this dummy is serious. Presence may be a deterrent but aggressive only gets you jammed up or hurt. Stop thinking like a rookie. Get your vri money and try to get home safe dummy....and more importantly get the poor schmuck who gets stuck with your dumb ass home safely.
Two questions: First off I work part time as a PO in a suburb PD and was wondering if I got hired by the City of Chicago as a PO would I be able to keep my part time PO job in the suburb. Is there anything against CPD Union rules prohibiting that?
----
You would have to take a leave of absence while you are on probation with CPD. You are NOT allowed to work another job or go to school during that period. Then you are allowed to work any side job as long as it is not during the hours you are working CPD. (AKA NO Double Dripping . . God forbid )
Also make sure it is OK with your part time department. I worked as an Auxiliary in Berwyn before I got hired in 1990. Berwyn's rule was you could not "have 2 badges". Therefore I had to quit the Berwyn Auxiliary.
ALSO, CFD can work any side job they want.
Thanks for the OT cocksuckers! You already paid my kid's tuition for the year, now your giving me my investment dough.

Wait until the tax man comes knocking at the end of the year!
Apparently these COMPSTAT meetings are quite the show.
Wonder if I could bring a bag of popcorn and a 6-pack?
Mother nature is what has murders/shootings decreasing recently. Let the snow thaw and the animals back out on street with their illegal straw purchase gats and we'll see if McCompstat numbers change. I'm guessing quite a jump upwards when we hit 60's temps again. Compstat mtgs.are just a reason for this incompetent drunk jag off to belittle and scream at his peers, and to stroke his Ginormous hypocritical/hypercritical(of Others) inflated ego. Fucking Joke of a boss, fucking joke of a bulshit stat system.

OT...This is a very sad and frankly an embarrassing story for the CPD. We heard rummors of a tact Sgt. in 019 writing a ticket on the R man, but assumed it was either not true or an accident, but this morning we heard the story straight from the horses mouth and it was disturbing.
While getting G and O at Area 3 garage we were approached by two mechanics, one being the R man who got the ticket from the 019th Tact Sgt. Since we were plain clothes, he asked if we work in 019 tact and know a Sgt. D. Garrity that wrote him a ticket? We're not from 019, so we didn't know this Sgt. He and the other mechanics who were now all gathering went on to say this Sgt. D. Garrity actually wrote the R man's City of Chicago Motor Maintence vehicle that he was driving and working in. They then pointed to the vehicle that this sgt. wrote which was a marked city of chicago van, the same one that comes to the station to fix our police cars. It's bad enough that this Sgt. Garrity wrote the R man's marked city work vehicle while he was working, but he wrote this vehicle at the AREA 3 GARAGE parking lot, right next to the pumps! This Sgt. wrote the ticket on the work vehicle at the R man's place of work! Holy FUCK! They went on to say that the R man was unloading his tools and this Sgt. got impatient at the pumps because he was double parked. We couldn't believe it, but all the mechanics were now talking about it and said their bosses were furious. They were half kidding I think, saying "019 will be getting slow service now." They were mostly curious why a tact Sgt. would write a ticket especially on a marked city vehicle at the area 3 garage. This was embarrassing for us and we wish we could leave, but we had to wait to get our car back. Feel bad for the guys that are on this tact sgt.'s team. Sounds like a real soft ball. Nice work you merit clown! Anyone in 019 know this guy?
3/08/2013 01:07:00 AM
Tell the Rman to get a CR#. The same thing happened a few years back and the PO took 25 days.
3/08/2013 03:14:00 PM
I know the sergeant allegedly involved. Sounds like a feeble attempt by a member or two of his team to get him off the team. What's the matter ... Sgt. D.G. making you work full days and expecting activity? That's right ... make up some BS story about the sgt. and see where it goes. Even if D.G. did write a ticket (which I doubt) he had an excellent reason to do so. Try and figure out some other way to get him dumped. Or better yet ... why don't you get off his team and save him the trouble of embarrassing you when he dumps you!!
"why is this tack Sgt. Writing parking tickets anyway?" Doesn't he have any self control or know how to handle a simple silly situation? This is beyond dumb. The bosses in 019 must be proud. Hope the Rman gets out of the ticket
Maybe he's looking for activity to work VRI just like everyone else.
Wtf How much do you think a murder costs tax payers? Medical services, police, prosecution, incarceration for 8 to 10 years if caught. A million is a freaking bargain to stop a murder. Now think about a shooting, instead of burying an animal, you're paying his ssi disability for life. Shootings cost MORE. Wouldn't you rather that money go into a POs pocket than some jack offs? Think a little bit new guy
012? SERIOUSLY! What The Fuck could anyone find to bitch about in 012?
Don't think so. Crime aint down. He beat up the commander about robberies being up and wanted to know what her plans were to stop those. It helps that she is probably to worst public speaker I have ever seen. She was nervous as hell and I think she would have stuttered if you asked her name and birthday. There is something to be said to speaking with a little confidence. And she has none. Easy target. And Al with his f***ing bow tie and bold had. That man has the shiniest bold head I have ever seen. Jesus. That thing was glistening like a son a bitch. They should hand out sun glasses at the door. Goof. And the line about no homicidea and shootings on Tuesday was priceless. He has his head so far up McNumbnuts ass you can see the glisten every time GMac talks. I lost two hours of my life that I will never get back. Be safe to all.

I magine standing there and knowing the Superintendent waiting to publicly humiliate you for no good reason. I amgine knowing that for a week. Imagine kowing he is doing it for no other reason than to stroke his own twisted ego.
Now imagine kowing all that and hanging in there so you can help fix the Department when he leaves. Now you know how all of the Commanders feel.
The Hawks didn't just lose for the first time this season in regulation, they looked sluggish in doing it as the Avalanche crushed them 6-2 Friday night at Pepsi Center.
After a first half of the season during which they could do no wrong, everything fell apart for the Hawks as their 24-game run to begin the 2013 season was halted. Also ended was the Hawks' franchise-record 11-game winning streak and the 30 consecutive contests with at least one point dating back to last season.

But the news sounds good and the media loves it. There is no way hiring can keep up with retirements with the current state of the academy and with Ladner in charge of hiring.

When he retires, maybe he'll be in charge of King Louie Farrakahn's,(spelling?) bow-tie brigade.

Revoke the GOLD BRAID PENSION now. Why should some incompetent clout hack jagoff get a larger pension than a legit sergeant?
What better place to tighten the pension belt than this gold braid bullshit. Fuck 'em!
I agree. Your pension should be based on your highest career service rank. Not your appointed rank. That should be the first measure of pension reform. Second should be a phase in of a 3% increase by future annuiitants, over a 6 year period. I am happy to increase my contribution as in reality 3% equates to about 2.2% of actual dollars as the pension contribution is pretax dollars. I think the age/time should stay in place. If they want to make yet another tier for new hires, so be it. I hate to use NYPD as an example, but they have I believe they have 7 tiers in their pension plan. I would also include in the pension reform plan that the City and Unions make a budgeted minimum staffing at all levels of the CPD. When the City got rid of budgeted spots they also got rid of potential pension contributions. By maintaing all budgeted spots there will be more stability on our side of the pension. More Employees = more contributions.

I am a police officer from Santa Cruz. We just lost two of our officers and had our memorial yesterday. I heard some of your guys made it. I would appreciate it if they could be thanked for me. I have been a big fan of your site.
Our deepest sympathy to our brothers in Santa Cruz. Please be safe out there.
In regards to the R man getting the ticket from the tact Sgt. The bosses called the Sgt in and made him non-suit the ticket.
Why do we automatically assume that ALL merit promotions are bad? Or more to the point, every bad supervisor is a merit promotion??I understand that system is broken but it is not like the testing system is perfect either. There is no shortage of useless miserable bosses that tested for their position.Just saying.
------------------------------------------------
I have a lil bit of time at this point and I can think of two merit sgts that actually deserved it. The merit system is used in a way that demoralized good coppers. It is also sad that the common response by us is "that's just how it is." the system needs fixing because I am tired of incompetent morons (afraid to make decisions) getting made and so should every p.o.

3/09/2013 06:20:00 AM
This did happen, it's fact. I don't know the Sgt., but know of him. Everyone in 019 knew about it when it happened two weeks ago because it was so unbelieveable. You see, even boses talk. He was told to non-suit the ticket immediately, after phone calls were made. I doubt anyone is smearing him to get him dumped. That would be a stretch. As dumb as this incident is no one gets dumped for it. P.S. I don't know anyone on his team, so I'm not defending them. I just don't think it's a good idea to bring bad attention to the district.
Wish it weren't true but the parking ticket caper with the Tac sgt did happen It was the buzz at roll call for a while
Have you noticed that the majorty of those elected to public office and have taken oaths to uphold the US Constitution today are instead tearing the Constitution apart amendment by amendment.
Seriously, no tin foil hat conspiracy stuff look at the facts.
The President is like a king now. The congress has granted him authority under the NDAA to kill US citizens using drones if he desires. No trial, no evidence needed.
We have wiretapping without a warrant going on. Right to due process gone at will. First amendment free speech on it's way out. Right to bear arms under attack.
These are no small splinter groups made up of extremist. These are our elected officials in congress.
The banks. Holder has admitted that in spite of the bankers frauds that the big banks don't have to play by the laws. They're to big and hold the economy hostage and so the DOJ just backs off.
We hope that it doesn't go this way but I think if you check your history books this is how civil wars start.
Sound like Sgt. DG's former arch rival the FK is doing some posting

Bullshit. It's a gutless move to let a drunken ass try to humiliate you without you. and any of your friends with a set of balls, defending yourself. Sitting there and taking shit is a gutless move.
The problem is that those white shirts are gutless and want to protect the spots they have. They could give a fuck less, with very few exceptions, about the department or the work conditions of the blue shirts.
P.S. I don't know anyone on his team, so I'm not defending them. I just don't think it's a good idea to bring bad attention to the district.
3/09/2013 03:42:00 PM

Not all are bad. However the majority now are. I have seen great working coppers get overlooked again and again by people who's only qualification is who they know. Even if your name gets submitted you don't stand a chance without juice. You only have to look at these two time and three time merit hacks to see what is happening. There is no excuse for more than one bite at the merit apple and I don't care how nice a guy or gal they are.
They are laughing all the way to the bank. $150,000 a year, CPD pays for car and gas, a great pension, and most likely they leave young enough to take another politically connected job, are you kidding me? If you don't see a problem, then you're in denial.
I would love to see every young officer get the same shot, an equal playing field but that will never happen. Politics rule this department and its a damn shame.

Wait until the tax man comes knocking at the end of the year!
What a dumb thing to say. I hope I pay $10,000 more in taxes next year because that meant I made $40,000 in OT If you are so worried about paying taxes tell the city you dont want a raise, or a uniform allowance or duty availability because you pay taxes on that

What an idiotic thing to say. I got back $1500 less from my tax return, but I cleared $15,500 from VRI and CTA. So, I still have $14,000 from VRI that I would other wise not have.

Just my point. Why complain about taxes and say your taxes are going to go up/ Really, but you are $14,000 ahead The other guy complained about paying taxes, where else can you this kind of money, pay taxes and move on
If he is so worried about taxes, tell FOP to ask for a 25% reduction in salary and you will pay less taxes next year
oh please. We have the #1 headcase moron XO in the city. HE brings ALL the bad attention already.
Come down lady, its not that bad
The great thing about Compstat is this is our highest level of management and the thought process from the highest level is to knock them down and make them look like fools in front of all their colleagues. Can you imagine Google, Microsoft, IBM, etc, doing this to their fellow executives? This is one of the many reasons this program will never work. Accountability is one thing but this public humiliation is solely for the enjoyment of a few! It would nice to have been able to put the Supt. on the hot seat last year when the shit was hitting the fan and knock his ego down a bit. Take this garbage philosophy back to New York !

Maybe the commanders should think about that and how they felt when they come back to the district and do the same thing to the troops. Oh yea, but thats different
More people resuming their job search and entering the workforce pushed the January 2013 unemployment rate to 9.0 percent, according to preliminary data released today by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Illinois Department of Employment Security (IDES). The data is seasonally adjusted. One year ago, the rate was 9.1 percent. Employers added 7,100 jobs in January 2013.
Well yep maybe, 7,100 jobs created in Jan 2013 after losing 7,600 jobs in Dec. putting us at a net loss of 500 jobs for those two months...HOWEVER isn't that interesting?
Look at that first line again:
"Private Sector Growth Up 222,100
During Recovery"
The Dec. 2012 report said:
Private Sector Job Growth Up 167,000 During the Recovery
Question is how does the addition of 7,100 jobs in Jan. increase the job growth rate that was at 167,000 in Dec 2012 to 222,100 in Jan 2013? That's 45,100 jobs! It doesn't add up.
Meanwhile as the mayor and the governor beat the we're saving and creating jobs with these tax breaks for our friends drum putting out this propaganda let's take a look at the states poverty growth via the Food Stamp caseload report since the so-called recovery in Jan 2010.
Yeah since Jan 2010 when this so called recovery began even if we buy into the 222,100 jobs created crap would you look at that? In Jan 2010 1,609,560 people in Illinois were on the Food Stamps. In poverty.
The 019 tac sgt wrote the ticket and some goofs back him? When he writes your mother will you back him then? It was a stupid move with zero reason for his action.Obviously the reason why he was ordered to write a to from to non suit the ticket.

McIfeelthreatened can rabbit punch and belittle all he wants - everyone in the room knows the 012th Dist. commander is the CHICAGO POLICE and not some drunken carpetbagger hanging from Rahm's puppet string.

McDrunkass is going after her because his kiss ass minions read this blog for him and saw the post about Tiny Dancer launching him and putting her in the Supt seat.
It is true that Tiny Dancer is very impressed with Staples and she would cover some important political bases for him. It's also true that blue shirts like and respect her. She's told them she'll take the heat on numbers in CompStat if they go out and be the police.
So what were officers in 012 doing this weekend after reading the "rabbit punching" post? Writing tickets, contact cards, etc. See, she gets it. You back up your troops, they back you up.
Pull the officers out of these shitholes and let these animals fend for themselves. They don't want us there so lets grant their wishes. Lets go where we are appreciated and can actually do some good.
