Dear Paul Geiger

A letter we received - nothing noted the contents were confidential in any way, shape or form, so we present it to you:
  • Dear SCC,

    Today I received a phone call from a friend telling me that there were a number of unflattering statements about me on your website. I went there and saw claims that I fired the FOP's labor law firm so I could negotiate the police bargaining agreement and bill the FOP for it. There were also a number of other lies about "settlements" paid to unnamed secretaries. If you knew anything about what goes on at the FOP, you would know that I am the person responsible for stopping the practice of having in house attorneys billing their employer for legal services. Additionally, no settlement has ever been paid to a secretary regarding any allegation against me. You will kindly remove all references to me from your website by midnight tonight. If I see any commentary about me and my job performance, I will bring an action against you and any anonymous defamers. I have sent you this warning previously, and I am not going to send it again. Keep my name off of your website.

    Finally, you should be aware that it is not particularly difficult to obtain your identity and the identity those that comment on SCC through the court system.

    I value my reputation and I will take the appropriate action to protect it.

    Paul Geiger
SCC replies:
  • Mr. Geiger,

    Apologies for not getting back to you sooner. We check e-mail every other day so we missed your midnight deadline. But even if we had found the letter, we have no mechanism in place for scanning through hundreds, even thousands of comments, from an unknown time frame. As we related in our previous correspondence, should you wish something deleted, we'll need the post name, the date and time so we can find it in an efficient manner.

    You seem to miss the point of a blog, so we'll take this opportunity to enlighten you a bit. This is a conduit. What appears in the front page under our bylines is our responsibility, nothing else. We've read the law and consulted with actual lawyers versed in internet law and we are under no legal obligation that we are aware of to verify the veracity of every single comment that goes up. Those "live comment streams" we see on so many national news outlets accusing various figures of all sorts of conspiracies, criminal acts, malfeasance - all live, all uncensored and all unverifiable? We don't see CNN in court for any of that.

    We noticed that when we "google" your name, the second post is a sexual harassment action filed against you covered by CBS News. When we add the words "sexual harassment" to the search, we find ABC 7 coverage and the actual lawsuit filed against you by Marie Marrero, which the internal investigation by Asher, Gittler and D'Alba is alleged to be credible and with merit. Channel 7 also references the previous 2005 lawsuit by a pregnant attorney in the FOP Office:

    • This isn't the first time the police union has had to fight charges against its general counsel. In 2005 the FOP was sued by one of its female attorney's who claimed that before she was fired after Paul Geiger made sexist remarks about her pregnancy. That case ended up being settled out of court.

    If you are arguing that since this is a lawyer, not a secretary, whose settlement was paid by our membership dues, then we'll grant you the point, no matter how nit-picky it is.  In fact, you are welcome to point out in the comment section that no secretary has been paid a settlement so far, but that a pregnant female lawyer received an out of court settlement from the FOP due to something something, Paul Geiger, something without admitting fault - or however you lawyers cover the issue.  We'll do it for you right here.

    Due to the facts above, we are prepared to argue that as the paid legal representative of a labor organization numbering in the thousands, you are a de facto public figure (limited purpose public figure) and therefore, the burden of proving libel falls squarely in the realm that a "reasonable person" would have to believe a comment to be true. Again, we specify "comment," not a "post" on the main page.  "Actual malice" also comes into play, and as you state that we are without knowledge of the FOP inner-working, malice is an uphill climb.  You would additionally have to prove monetary damages of some form.  Seeing as you work for the FOP, your only client as far as we can tell, and you have suffered no damages to your employment, even due to the multiple sexual harassment complaints on file over the past seven years, we think that avenue is going to be a difficult one.  Your work history, as the paid representative of thousands of police officers, is of paramount interest to each and every one of us.

    You are welcome to refute anything you come across in the comment sections. If you are party to some facts that the rest of us aren't, please enlighten us and the readers so that errors such as you are alleging aren't repeated. Additionally, mention it to your bosses that the knife cuts both ways - their IP addresses are just as traceable, maybe more so as their IP e-mails can be compared to those attached to comments on the board. Just food for thought.

    As a side note, in your honor, we are creating Rule ZERO in our right hand column. That should cover some of your concerns.  We look forward to your list of comments you object to.

    SCC
Just thought everyone should know how our dues money is being spent today. An insignificant blog, hated by the Department brass, the city government, the FOP, and now the FOP's attorney. If the blog disappears, you know exactly who to blame.

FOP meeting next Tuesday.

Who's Geiger crapping?

I was standing right behind him when he made some very rude remarks regarding the reproductive practices of a civilian secretary of a now deceased FOP financial secretary. I heard it, the elected FOP official standing next to him heard it as did other coppers standing around.

If he is going to say shit like that in a public area then he should not complain about what anyone writes on a public blog. People who live in glass houses...

That civilian secretary was fired early on when Mike Shields came in. I don't know if she sued or anything but if she ever heard those remarks she certainly would have grounds.

True story. Go ahead and out the publishers of the blog, Paul. When Mike fails to get re-elected, which is looking increasingly likely, then you can count on packing your shit up on the next FOP president's first day like Pleines.

And should you out those people, count on more litigation coming your way, as a defendant you rat fuck.

I guess it is difficult for represented members to be told "be glad you're on the job" by FOP's shyster lawyer when the only reason he has a job is because of the dues that are paid. Furthermore, anyone receiving Geiger's type of money should have been properly vetted by Shields and his ticket prior to his employment/retention.

Btw. Didn't Paul Geiger get the memo that bullying people is no longer acceptable behavior?

This is hilarious. I have personally been talked about on this blog and it was not flattering to say the least and I never threatened to sue nor would I ever. It comes with the idea of a blog Mr. Paul. When SCC talked about me I laughed it off with sarcasm. Some of the things said were true and also untrue. Big Deal.
I find it backwards and a serious conflict of interest if you do not resign your position Paul. You should not bash your employer publicly. You are our paid attorney Paul and now you are going to complain publicly about coppers saying mean things about you and Mike? Both you and MIke represent us as police officers for the City of Chicago. I feel that ethically you are unable to represent us from this moment forward Paul. You admit in your email, your opinions of unnamed officers, (assuming they are officers) who you potentially could represent or could currently represent. Who in that right state of mind could legally and in good faith represent police officers in our Union? There is a serious conflict of interest if you do not resign Paul. We employ you and we are not here to serve you yet we pay you to serve us and you need to leave you post asap.

I know the 1st amedment is strong, but my concern is with the way America is going over the years with big govenment control over stepping their powers. Just wondering because under the current governments they seem to ignor the constitution and it could be possible to go after people who don't tow the company line. It seems the courts are also being more controlled by Washington politics. Just afraid it may become dangerous to disagree. Hopefully your posters can't be traced.

Mr Geiger does not know what he is talking about. He claims that it is "not particularly difficult" to obtain someone's IP address "through the court system." In fact, it is very difficult. The Illinois Appellate Court just issued a ruling on this issue in January: Lisa Stone vs. Paddock Publications. It was a defamation lawsuit filed by someone who wanted to know the identity of a person who had posted something anonymously on a newspaper's comments section. You can go read the court opinion, it's a public document. Short version: court said no to the plaintiff, you cannot have the person's IP address. Anonymous speech is perfectly legal, if that is how the speaker wants it. There is actually a long tradition of it in this country. Courts have been consistent in protecting this kind of speech. If they weren't, websites like Yelp could not even exist.
So, Mr Geiger is bluffing - or else he just does not know what he is talking about. It's one or the other.

Was at Comppost today and McBlockhead made a long speech at the end about how he testified in Springfield about mandatory sentencing in illegal gun searches. He said he was shocked, shocked, I tell you, that the NRA does not support mandatory sentencing for illegal gun ownership.

He went on and on and I wanted to shoot myself in the head, I could hardly stand it. God, he is a pompous fool.

Since there is an FOP meeting this Tuesday, why doesn't someone bring a motion for the Union to disclose EACH and EVERY lawsuit brought against FOP Lodge 7 for the past ten years?
AND the outcome or current status of each one?
Isn't the membership entitled to transparency, as to the expenditure of Union dues/funds?

Will YOU be there? You step up to the mike and make the motion.

All I ever see at the meetings are the older guys. I understand that people have other responsibilities, but this concerns their future,too. A little more involvement would help.

Oh, Mr. Geiger, never forget that YOU WORK FOR US!

The FOP doesn't need you. You can and will be replaced.

Now go find that other idiot Ira Silverstein and help him write more legislation violating our civil rights.

I personally spoke to Paul Geiger several years ago while the Department was in the midst of the Jeremiah Mearday crisis. At that time I called Geiger to inform him that Demetrius Carney, then president of the Chicago Police Board, had been recently hired into a relatives law firm, Wildman Harrold, and that this law firm derived much revenue from representing sister agencies of the City of Chicago including the CTA, and the Forest Preserve District. I felt that Carney might not be able to impartially preside of the hearing for these officers since a ruling favorable to the officers might jeopardize the economic interests of his law firm. I suggested to Geiger that he publicize this fact in an attempt to get Carney to properly recuse himself from this Mearday matter. He thanked me for the insight. Carney presided over hearing and the officers were fired. I don't think we'll see Geiger named one of Chicago's Top 100 Lawyers antime soon.

I sent the following inquiry to Mr. Geiger:

RE: Request for Comment Regarding Your Legal Threats


Dear Mr. Geiger,

I am an attorney in Los Angeles, a member of the First Amendment Lawyers of America, and a blogger on various issues, particularly free speech and legal threats based on online comment. I defend threatened bloggers pro bono and draw attention and pro bono help to online legal threats.

I write to inquire about your legal threat reflected here: http://secondcitycop.blogspot.com/2013/03/dear-paul-geiger.html

Are you willing to offer any comment regarding your threat?

Specifically, I would like to know:

1. Do you contend that the website itself, as opposed to the commenters, have posted content containing false statements of fact about you? If so, what are those false statements?

2. If your threat is premised on statements by commenters on the site, can you articulate your theory about why your threatened suit would not be governed by Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act? Were you, in fact, familiar with that provision before you made the threat?

3. Are you represented by counsel in connection with your legal threats? If so, are you willing to identify that counsel, so I may direct questions to him or her?

Thanks very much,

Ken White

The charges against Harold Brown were heard and discussed before the entire Board of Directors.There were non board members prestent who witnessed what transpired. I was there and would have voted to expel both Brown and the other accused board member. Brown was expelled and the other accused member was acquitted. It was done in a fair and open manner.
