Mike Madigan keeps running these test votes on Thursdays. Part of it is to embarrass Tom Cross and some of it is to let Rahm know who is boss.
I just got a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach that one of these days when everyone is complacent he puts thro a whole package to fuck us.
Any thoughts?
Regardless of cost and aside from Jamesons and Bushmills, any recommendations for the greatest Irish sipping whiskey?
So can we really bring a motion to remove geiger from his position at an fop metting? I think thos would be a good move. Anyone know the real answer
Off topic but very important if you attend Argosy University!!
Starting summer of 2013 the CPD will NOT reimburse you for classes at Argosy or any other school not accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges.
Please post this important information!!
Was there a shooting near Wright College, Montrose/Naragannsett?
Not the HBT thing.
Is the Violence Reduction Initiative on high alert to deter streetlamp vandals from shooting the lights out?
Oh please.

so, rahmbollina is purging ex-mayor short stroke's cronies, using the obamanation's doj, to be replaced by whom?
how many LTs & how many SGTs anyone have any idea?
how does the mayor have a $3 BILLION! dollar plan for the city area improvements but no money for our pensions. and then he threatens the citizens with doubling real estate taxes etc.see suntimes article.
Nine year olds parents are proud of him. Robbery and car jacking at nine. Must have a murder by ten years old. He might break daddy's record.
Sick of seeing these LINK card holders who drive Mercedes Benz and speak no English.
When will this massive FRAUD be stopped??
9 years old and has a history of armed robbery, aggravated vehicular hijacking with a firearm, criminal damage to property.

apparently he is an honor student as well.
A lot of amateur drinkers out there this weekend. Everyone be safe and drive defensively, both at work, and on your way to/from.
Is it true or a rumor of 100 sergeants and 46 lieutenants to be promoted by April 1 or just a joke. I am just about 45 out.

Since aul-Pay eiger-Gay is outta the question, can I say "Voldemort" without causing a shitstorm?
So, I was reading the Admin Fax Messages or whatever the hell they are called now, and I saw of a Home Invasion in 016. Does someone want to tell the LT to use a spell check? Walther is not Walter, chrome is not crome, and Garand is nor a Guerin. I'm not the grammar police, but a little capitalization and proper spelling would make it look more professional. I'm just sayin'.
Beware the ides of march.......
Nice job tonight by 017 Tac. Enjoy yr days off!!! You made us proud!!
Masters masters Masters.....
McDippy joined Mike Ditka in endorsing Mongo McMicheal for mayor of Romeoville. Behind these three on the stage was Geiger but you could barely see him, they being so larger and him being so short. When asked if he was here to endorse Mongo he said no he was the designated driver. Great complex litagers make excellent chauffeurs.
Reasonable things? Seriously?
Why has there been so much negative posting about 020 as of late? I thought CW and Moy were gone? Is there a problem with bosses over there, or just the district in general?
On behave of all the retirees past and present I would like to thank all the Sergeants who voted against their contract. To all; our retirement future, being held in a political battle in both Springfield and Chicago, is one of our most important lifelines after we're retired. I'm sure this is scaring not only the retirees but all those contemplating retirement becuase they are so so close to the end.This should never be an option to negotiations but something to enjoy as a promised benefit to those of us that have served. Thank You.
How many sgt and Lt r they going to promote? When?
Home invasion north end 016? Any info?
how many times is to many for the same person to be put in for merit?
What's your favorite range for shooting? Anyone know of who allows shotguns? Thanks.
Best of luck to the po's in 017. I saw the supervisors on scene. That scary enough!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is 016 becoming a training district??

Live in STL. When people from Saint Louis won't visit Chicago b/c of the "undertow" you know you have problems.
Last trip: Suite at Allorton. Maryland Seafood House @ Drake. Dropped two large on shopping. On a Saturday night it was the first warm night of the year. Honor roll kids were representing. Holding Johnson's, packing the sidewalks, watched a woman with a stroller having to navigate through the crowd. F this and F that. Throwing soda bottles at each other. This weird parade would ensue , a couple of "females" would walk down the sidewalk and the "males" would ook and eeek and fight each other over the best place to watch. Saw heavy LEO. A few on horseback. I'm ok with people gathering and enjoying themselves, but this assembly was clearly a celebration of honor roll- edness. We, the spenders and producers, were a minority that evening and suffered the onslaught of sub human group think. I live in the City if Saint Louis. CCW. Know all about situational awareness. We used to look forward to indulgent Chicago weekends. I can't justify leaving this hell hole, spending money and taxes on a destination and feeling like civilization has lost... My condolences to you in LEO who have to deal with this everyday.

To Paddy: Redbreast is a fine Irish Whiskey.
On another matter, I drive through the west side every day and I see many many yellow temporary tags with the red numerals faded from months, if not years, of

I was just wondering, and I am not the police.

I can't imagine how difficult being a policeman would be in this day and age. As a 32 year police veteran who has been retired for almost a decade I look with pride at todays police. How you function with the shackles the city, the media and the brass have placed on you is amazing. Take care of yourselves and bless all of you. Thank you thank you thank you!!!

Shields ran for office both Pension Board and FOP on a reformer platform. Shields promised that all fiduciary dealings would be above board and transparent.
This is not and has not been the case with this admisnistration. It is time that we demand a forensic audit of the FOP.
I keep hearing that over $500,000USC of our dues monies, were paid out in legal fees and out of court settlement costs, in relation to the Geiger sexual misconduct caper.
This is INSANE!
The FOP President does not need to be driving pimped out Escalades on our dime either.
It is high time for some accountability and transparency!
The FOP meeting is going to be very interesting this month.
The working stiff blueshirts have had enough of the ARROGANCE!
how many LTs & how many SGTs anyone have any idea?
I heard 50 sgts and 20 Lts. So a net gain of 30 sgts.

From a citizen,you sir deserve an award,36yrs OMG..
Just wondering and thinking...why when a CPD officer is involved in a shooting incident, I never see a CPD Superintendent, Deputy Superintendent, or any high up giving the media a statement.
Don’t they realize that these events are traumatic, and that a little support along with feeding the media some useful info on the event will go a long way with everyone?
My God, we are the police. We carry weapons to protect citizens and ourselves. We have arrest powers. This stuff happens in our line of work unfortunately.
I see the FOP has hired a spokesperson, which is great, but still your own command doesn’t speak a word on an officer involved shooting? That is wrong.
What horrible leadership and support to CPD officers. I hope my department would show some support in a shooting incident.
I realize not every shooting scene is “perfect”, but still show some support to the officers. Especially when an officer, in fear of his life, has no choice but to shoot.
Or am I living in a dream world?

To those who complain about: Why did you give the teacher who's engaged, slept with, pimped with, yada yada, a ticket.

Poster on Irish whisky : try any brand from the Spey side of Ireland, the salt air imparts a rather unique taste to the whisky as it age's in the wood casks.

3/16/2013 02:54:00 AM
I congratulate you on most likely being promoted, but you are going to be entering more of a shitstorm than ever before. My ex-husband (we had an amicable divorce) became a sgt. and right afterward he started sounding like an asshole describing his troops and bitching about this and that, stuff he used to do himself.
I told him he sounded like an asshole (and maybe I threw jackass in there too) and that he'd better remember where he came from and how to treat people.
I think they somehow brainwash you a bit in sgt's school. After I told him he was acting like a jackass, he lightened up and spent a few good years as a sgt. and I think his troops did too. His head got big and once it was deflated, he came back to earth.
Please, no cracks about how I saved him, or blah, blah, blah. I just told him the truth. Never, ever, ever, forget where you came from. Never, ever, forget to treat your troops well.
You can still be an effective leader without being an asshole.
Good luck to all of you who make it. Worst job in the dept. right now.
And as always, stay safe all.

3/16/2013 12:27:00 AM
I posted that I would propose such a motion and did get a response, but I'm not sure if the response meant that if I stood at the podium and proposed a motion and that it was seconded, then whether the FOP would vote on removing Geiger or the attendees would.
I will try to look up the Robert's Rules or Order, but I don't want to get up there on shaky ground, or without knowing what I'm doing, just to be roundabouted.
I've been working so much overtime I can barely think.
Any responses, please no sarcasm. I'm trying to do the right thing. I don't need you to tell me to look it up myself. What I WOULD appreciate it is somebody spelling it out to me a little more is possible.

It's a drive but out in Crystal Lake there's a new state of the art range
Rifle, pistol & shotgun (slugs or shot). Can handle just about anything most would shoot. Haven't been there yet, but I've heard it's very nice. Non members $20/hr, members $10/hr. New pistol range coming along in McHenry as well. Gotta more that I don't know about, the whole state ain't like Chicago

The city fought tooth and nail to get it out of the SGT's contract, they were pretty staunch on it being gone completely from what I have been told. The 2% contribution by the retiree was the best that could be negotiated. I would not be suprised if it does go the way of the dodo.

The 011 District 2nd watch is about to loose more veteran and hard working officers in the recent bid postings. I have talked to several of them and their main reason for leaving is LT Jack Ass. What other signs does Commander Washington need to have to transfer this douchebag out of the district. He has ruined what used to be a great watch with his lack of leadership and bad attitude. By bringing his personal life issues with to him to work and not leaving them at home is a major problem. No wonder the watch did not have a watch party for over a year. No one would show up if he organized it or showed up.
Good luck to those who will be successful bidders as you have escaped the Jack Ass.
Wow I am watching death wish 3 with RIP Charles Bronson the police just confiscated an old mans gun at his residence after he used it to threatened scumbags, because it is illegal in the movie to possess a firearm! Dam just like shitcago! Hope and pray we get a Bronson type here soon!
Tullamore Dew real Irish Whisky. LOL
After corned beef and cabbage I just took a massive Geiger. I feel a lot better.

OK, here are a few for thought, just because I like keep track of the downward spiral of this department:
From the DOC OSA #2013-OSA-041
(portions redacted due to being LES and FOUO)
"The people in the XXX district WAS GOING TO BECOME like the XXX side and begin shooting at XXX"
(This sentence was not written as a direct quote from the offender)
If it were, it would have been OK.
From the DOC OSA#2013-OSA-049
"The detective division indicates that the FREQUENCY OF ROBBERIES occuring AT BUSINESSES selling W,X,Y and Z ARE BEING TARGETED."
WTF does that mean? Frequency of robberies...are being targeted.
Huh?
And, finally this gem from "Management rights selection process for FTO's":
Two (2) letters of Recommendation from active MEMBERS WHO HAS SUPERVISED the officer within the last five (5) years.
Anyone who puts this stuff out pass HS English class?

True dat. Be careful! 015 had 3 from midnights in a matter of about 5 hours. One tried to make a new entrance ramp to the Ike.
Is 016 becoming a training district??
3/16/2013 09:04:00 AM
Nope, they fucked up the openings.
Instead of coming clean, and admitting they screwed up the faxes, and attempting to make things right for any FTO's who might have bid, they just sent a corrected AMFN out, without saying boo, hoping no one would notice.
What a bunch of assholes. Class act on HR's part.

Any Sworn who did not take the 55 and out is a COMPLETE DUMBASS!!! Gone and pay the grand a month for someting you could have had for FREE. WOW guess working a day off made you feel good! Do the math strokes. Fucked youselfs but do I care? HELL NO. IDIOTS. More for us who had common sense. HAHAHA

Rude and ignorant. I'm sure your former co-workers are relieved you and your attitude are gone.
Yeah, I took advantage of the deal, too, but I feel bad for my friends who won't be able to. I'm sure not rubbing their noses in it.
Heard from a Good source that 55 and out will be gone next contract fop what say you? I have called and had no answer! HELLO! If so let us know so we can put in papers thank you !
Dont worry if you have 10 years or less there will be another time where the city will want a mass retirement and will offer again.

Regardless of cost and aside from Jamesons and Bushmills, any recommendations for the greatest Irish sipping whiskey?
3/16/2013 12:23:00 AM
I highly recommend Tullamore Dew in the clay jug
Ahahaha! Long live the happyrock!
Fuck Bushmills , just ask McNulty from the wire,it's a protestent whisky.
I think I'd like a drink. Anyone want to join me? ;)
Soon we will have concealed carry in this state, one way or the other; It will be fun to see poppa Rahm Emanuel and his side kick explain why the death rate has fallen in chicago, in the 1st 6 months.
Watch out in the 016th District.There is a M/B and F/B in a green Dodge van Il license P934547 taking pictures of POs houses.Every time they are confronted they take off.The M/B driver has a long sheet and several convictions.Recently seen and confronted around Lawrence West of Cumberland and around Foster and Canfield.Probably seeing FOP and other Police stickers and looking to hit the houses for guns etc.In one instance a POs house was hit around the same time they were spotted.Be proactive and grab these Mother Fuckers before they hit.
To PADDY @ 12:23 am Try Michael Collins Whiskey!!
Shores on Devon range on 2nd. floor opened Friday. hours 1100 to 1700, closed Sunday and Weds.
Open to only patrons of store who spends a few bucks.
Irish "Whiskey"? That's an oxymoron! Try a REAL whiskey like BOOKERS!
Big changes coming Friday
Keep a bank account opened, you DL and SS if you get it at an address of any of your kids to live in Wisc

SIGHTINGS- Has anyone seen Gerry "WILD TURKEY" hitting the bars in the River North area ? Last year the bars took a loss for his NYPD on the arm antics.
Bet him and his friend retired NYPD, now CPD Chief "OLD CROW" started early Friday afternoon.
Any sightings gets an "Old Crow" cap.

I guess you never met any cheap ass "give me my police discount" CPD's finest mooch's? Was a time a Chicago cop had to be pushed off the job because they would lose the discount. Some kept on pretending to be the police like they did their whole career to keep getting the breaks.

So can we really bring a motion to remove geiger from his position at an fop metting? I think thos would be a good move. Anyone know the real answer
3/16/2013 12:27:00 AM
I posted that I would propose such a motion and did get a response, but I'm not sure if the response meant that if I stood at the podium and proposed a motion and that it was seconded, then whether the FOP would vote on removing Geiger or the attendees would.
I will try to look up the Robert's Rules or Order, but I don't want to get up there on shaky ground, or without knowing what I'm doing, just to be roundabouted.
I've been working so much overtime I can barely think.
Any responses, please no sarcasm. I'm trying to do the right thing. I don't need you to tell me to look it up myself. What I WOULD appreciate it is somebody spelling it out to me a little more is possible.
3/16/2013 03:07:00 PM
Any member can make a motion and have it seconded and get a vote of those attending taken right there but I do not think it is binding on the President. Executive privelege who to hire in the office. But it would send a message and would get documented and would make it hard for Shields to keep the guy.
As for retro and the letter, any new dictrict commander knows better than to clean house on the first day. Not before he finds out the lay of the land and who knows what.
Shields cleaned house of everyone who knew how to run the office first day and then had to wing it with everything. Most civilians owe their loyalty to their paycheck. New regime, so what, they need to make a living. Mary Pat knew the contract, knew how to conduct FOP elections and generally ran shit for Donahue. Shields cans her, and she was good and then Mike brought in a goofy woman who he later fired.
Dougherty and Aguilar and Dimaria had been there through several contracts and should have known better regarding this mysterious letter. The best thing Shields could have done was to own up to the screw up and make it right. Not do the tap dance "we got it in on time, yabba dabba doooo."

Off topic but very important if you attend Argosy University!!
Starting summer of 2013 the CPD will NOT reimburse you for classes at Argosy or any other school not accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges.
Please post this important information!!
_____________________________
This is true, look up the tuition reimbursement order. Your school will NOT be grandfathered in.
Where do you people come up with your bullshit? I'm not particularly a geiger supporter, but here is the kind of shit that kind of makes his point about anonymous blogs.
Again, someone posts about shields driving an escalade on the FOP dime. It is complete fiction, gets published here, and people who don't know any better believe it.
Why are you a "dumb ass" or "idiot F****r" for not taking the 55 and out? If you chose to do it, great for you, but why be critical of others. Everybody has different situations and circumstances. That is what is wrong with our Department and to an extent Society as a whole, we have to worry about what every one else is doing. If what I do or do not do does not have a negative impact on your life then it is none of your business.

I realize not every shooting scene is “perfect”, but still show some support to the officers. Especially when an officer, in fear of his life, has no choice but to shoot.
Or am I living in a dream world?
3/16/2013 01:56:00 PM
Your not, you just have no idea what your talking about. Half of our supervisors would end up causing a disaster because of their lack of experience or knowledge. Don't make an issue where there isn't one.
3/16/2013 09:15:00 PM
This just proves that the Chicago Police Dept is without question the worst dept in the country. Name one other police dept where the chief would have NO COMMENT when one of his officers was forced to kill an armed civilian.
Is it true Geiger will be the Bridesmaid at McCarthys daughters wedding? I hear Parid is nice that time of year.
To: Ret. fed leo..living the good life in Wisconsin,
But your federal pension is just fine after making, what GS13 pay for 20 years and then retiring at 57. Douchbag.
Det Joe A. was left for dead in that south loop apartment because you cowards were to scared to l o'clock on the door, contrary to what you feeb think...you aren't the real police, nor do we like you.
Stay off our blog and go read SCF (second city feeb)
Oh yea, I'm sure Geiger like you people.
Thing that don't involve FOP lawyers? Winning grievances, negotiating a contract, making sure Shields sends the ity the letter to insure our retro.
Things that involve FOP lawyers, blogging on SCC and they do it very bad.
Ban Geiger!

Macallan 12 year old, but its Scotch. And remember, you said regardless of cost.
FYI, Binny's bought Sam's several years ago after Sam's was forced to sell following a beef with the Illinois Liquor Commission over a wholesale operation they were running. The Sam's at Willow and Marcey St. is now a Binny's.
I don't know why but I seem to recall knowing the 55 and free health insurance was a one time offer. Perhaps because it was not a negotiated part of contract, and it was explained as such.. Based on how the city wanted a certain number of officers by certain dates, I think that showed us plenty that this was a one time thing.
Also if u recall HR bitch told the media she wants a diversified young department. So the 55 offer got rid of a bunch of us old hags.

Would you want any of these merit-cloutorious buffoons speaking to the media concerning your shoot? Even if they did try to be verbally supportive, there is a big chance they would cause more harm than good.
On the flip side, if they were not trying to support you, they are only go to bury you in hopes of making themselves look good.
And, why do you think Pat Camden retired? He did not want to go. Department civilians with decision making authority no longer wanted him speaking positively to the media about the involved officers, the incident and the department, so they neutralized him by mandating only IPRA would speak to the media and that IPRA would only say the incident was under investigation.
Say whatever you want about Mike Shields, but hiring Pat Camden to speak up for us and utilizing Mark Donahue in Springfield, makes him one smart fucking cookie.

Article 2/Gunworld in Lombard. Can shoot anything there. Shotguns are only allowed to shoot slugs. Enjoy.

Head out to Willow Slough in Indiana. Outdoor gun range, unlinited use, FREE. It's near Morocco, In.
Stay off of the blog, Harold!

After corned beef and cabbage I just took a massive Geiger. I feel a lot better.

And the fumes from your Geiger are spreading through the building! It registered too high to count on the Geiger Fume Counter.
3/16/2013 08:45:00 PM
Thank you thank you thank you
Had a good laugh ! ! !
If U feel so bad for your friends you shoulda stayed on the job ace. Fuck them if they wern't smart enough to take advantage when they could. The option was up for 5 years now GONE.

Shields has the right to to choose the attorney that he wants , to represent him. Any motion, even if it were to pass, is not binding. From where I sit, Geiger has done nothing wrong. He was sued once and it was settled, and he was the victim of a frivolous lawsuit which was dismissed as being without merit it's first time up. Has anybody out there been the target of a bogus lawsuit? Then you know how it feels. Support the FOP. It's the only chance that we have at stopping the theft of our pensions. Don't believe everything you read on this blog. SCC does his best, but remember that our enemies also read and post here. Pleines for example. Stay together. Stay strong.
Rifle, pistol & shotgun (slugs or shot). Can handle just about anything most would shoot. Haven't been there yet, but I've heard it's very nice. Non members $20/hr, members $10/hr. New pistol range coming along in McHenry as well. Gotta more that I don't know about, the whole state ain't like Chicago

When I went through the academy in the early 90's we 7 classes of 130 recruits and a class of 120 sgt's in there at the same time. I doubt the academy is at capacity.

3/17/2013 07:14:00 PM
It was two good decisions. Hiring Camden was one and the other was to utilize Donahue in Springfield, instead of freezing him out and pay him for doing nothing, as some would have done.
I doubt the academy is at capacity.
3/18/2013 01:12:00 AM
The academy is at capacity as related to the staff on hand. They do not have the people to simultaneously run classes for new hires and classes for a massive amount of promotions.

Which is a return to previous policy...so am guessing whatever future merit picks needed to enroll in a "differently" accredited school have recieved theirnonsense degrees

At tomorrow's FOP meeting, FOP better provide its members with the truth about the letter Shields forgot to mail and Geigher-Gate.
Tomorrow is the day to be heard loud and clear by FOP. Enough is enough. I'm tired of our union dues being misappropriated to pay for parking tickets, dining on extravagant steak dinners at Ruth Chris, buying Hawks tickets and wasting money on golf outings.
If no one says anything, then we deserve what we get. We're nothing more than "mushrooms" who sit in the dark and get fat.
I don't know about the FOP Board, but I want my retro! I want my retro! I want my retro!
Vote no confidence tomorrow for our futures!
