Rahm Plays Innocent
- Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Tuesday defended Ald. Howard Brookins’ simultaneous right to be a defense attorney representing gang members and an alderman turning up the heat on Police Supt. Garry McCarthy to reduce gang violence.
Emanuel washed his hands of what Brookins (21st) considers a blistering and unfair attempt to dirty up and shut up the chairman of the City Council’s Black Caucus by portraying him as a political hypocrite.
Chicago Sun-Times columnist Michael Sneed reported Sunday that Brookins was “undermining police action” against the gang violence triggering Chicago’s homicide rate by “talking out of both sides of his mouth.”
Sneed reported that Brookins recently got 2010 gun charges dismissed against Kerry Stinson, 46, described in police reports as a member of the Gangster Disciples/Black P Stone nation with a lengthy arrest record.
But now he's pure as the driven snow, right Howard?
- Brookins welcomed the mayor’s support and said he blames “someone at the Police Department” — not Emanuel or his political operatives — for the failed attempt to discredit and silence him.
[...] Brookins noted that the example used to discredit him includes an “innocent” man.
“I could see if they had picked somebody I might have represented who was clearly guilty and shot a cop. But why would they pick somebody who was not guilty? Why can’t they accept the fact that he had a right to competent representation and that was found not guilty?” Brookins said.
"Not guilty" is a bit different from "innocent," Howie. But we don't have to be lawyers to tell you that, do we?

The mayor was also quote as saying something along the lines as what he does in his private life is his business. If that's true for alderman then it should be true for all city employees. Stay out of my private life along the lines of what I make and filling ethic statements, telling me I can not drink, own a bar, etc. those are all things that deal with my private life.
I like the fact that he plays the blame game. Not the fact that if he was concerned he should have referred this guy to someone not connected with politics. So basically Howie, you couldn't pass up on a buck. No matter what the consequences would be. So Howie how about a big cup of Fuck You...
Wait a minute, Brookins. You said competent representation. I thought you represented him??? Another jagoff, talking from both sides of his mouth.
Can we get our million dollars back from the violence interrupters?
The entire unethical situation is pathetic. I'm so sick of the politicals in shitty hall.
Brookins is through. The mayor is only making that comment so it looks as if his hands are clean. plausible deniability.
Brookins has a lot of dirt and skeletons more so than most. Aldermen cant represent a client against city interests. Brookins should have referred the case to another lawyer.
Big ethics violation. Goodbye Howie.
Our fault...always is. Brookins, you are a dirty, no good, piece of shit gangbanger incompetant fuck who has no one to blame but himself. Call your gangbanger friends the next time on of your constituents breaks in to your aldermanic office and steals your shit.
This goof ran for Cook County States Attorney, can you imagine if he would of won. Anita looks pretty good right now. Figuratively of course.
Rahm Plays Innocent
Rahm Plays Dumb is more like it.

Latest Command decision is that everyone will have a partner no matter what. From here on out your partner will be responsible for making engine and squealing tire noises. You as driver will be issued a steering wheel. As you proceed from job to job if necessary the driver will make the siren sound as your partner revs the engine and "peels out". If you think this will be difficult think about the poor bastards in mounted patrol. The front of the horse noises aren't so bad, which partner gets the rear end noises. Come to think of it Command staff are all the Horses asses we need.

Careful. Tomorrow, McDesperate will make this idea "New Strategy Number 15" for the year 2013.
Uh-oh. Did Rahm give Brookins his "full support"? We all know what THAT means.
These are your political masters. They tell you what to do. And you shall obey.
Now that that bit of business is done, it's time to get on with the people's work of banning energy drinks.
All hail Rahm and the Chicago Socialist Party! Power to the People!
The important thing is that the game has been played and the sheeple will divert their short attention spans away from this to more important things like March Madness while their city and state crumble around them from the pilfering of the socialists.
Unless they're drinking Monster energy drinks before the ban goes into effect. Perhaps the Chicago Teachers' Union can get involved and express their condolences on the passing of Hugo Chavez, their socialist comrade in the revolution. That will help to take the spotlight away.
True story. Was working the election detail years ago in the suburbs, driving attorneys around to polling places. Brookins was one of the lawyers hired by the SAO for the day, but I think he was a public defender. Brookins shows up with a BROOKINS FOR ALDERMAN button on. The other lawyer, embarrassed, had to tell this bonehead to take it off. Sounds like the alderman is judge material to me.
One thing anyone with a brain in Chicago knows, rham is not innocent of anything.Little man syndrome a hate streak a mile wide, I could go on and on but I'm tired.
Hey SCC can we get a post about what the FTO exam turnout was like?Since nobody in my district took it haven't heard much.
Hey SCC what's up with these idiot coppers who don't know how to drive rear wheel drive vehicles in the snow?! when u start ur tour and there is 6 in of snow on the ground do urself a favor and just take the Damn traction control off. all its gonna do is make u get stuck if u have it on. and if u do get stuck the rule should be driver gets out to push not passenger. Rock the car and when u gain momentum and/ or traction don't lay off the gas!

Didn't this hypocrite assclown run for state's attorney saying he was going to indict a cop a month during his term in office?
What a turd...
tha mayor doesnt see a conflict of interest here?alderman,lawyer,and gangbangers!AND THE MAN HAS A SAY SO WITH POLICE AND THE CITY FINANCES!
Ald. HB is just another political POS. I hope his "black cauc 'ass'" and group of constituents remember this come voting time. Of course they won't. HB is part of the problem and not part of the solution. LOL, go ahead and trace my IP. LOL, I am far, far away.
A failed attempt to discredit and silence him? Well here is a factoid of politics for Mr. Bookins: you discredit yourself in your actions and you never shut your big lying mouth. Only Club Fed can silence lying, stealing and cheating politicians. So you run happily and merrily along. Your problem in this state only begins when the Feds open a jacket for you. The problem is they open it about a year or two before you know it. Only then do they come knocking on your door.
Based on per capita representation in the city councils of America's largest cities, Chicago should have no more than SEVENTEEN (17) ALDERMEN.
How do we correct this? Through the FIFTY (50) ALDERMEN.
TERM LIMITS? Again, the City Council must approve it.
RECALL REFERENDUM INITIATIVE? It's up to the City Council.
POLITICAL CORRUPTION IN CHICAGO?
HOPELESS!
slow down and total disregard of any police activity in aldercreature brookins' ward................
Of course!
rahmbo would never blast a black democrat--- obama would whack his nuts off ala jjsr style....
Even gangmambers have the right to fair counsel. How many of their cases get thrown out in the probable cause hearing?
Clearly,Ramrod should stay quiet.

Isn't this the same Brookins who has been giving info to the police about rival gang activity and drug dealings. He's a fool, who is going to get caught up, playing both sides.
You can't always have your cake and eat it too.

"Failed attempt to discredit him"? WTF?
When I retired from CPD, I was offered a job by a law firm as a consultant, reviewing police reports. They showed me the cases and they were lawsuits against CPD officers. I explained that I signed a statement when I retired that I could not involve myself in litigation against the City and turned down the job. They then told me that my name would appear nowhere, they have a frontman to do that; his name is Richard Briezak the former Superintendent of the Chicago Police Department! His specialty is defending Polish Speaking DUIs and Serving as an Expert Witness against CPD. I still turned down the job.
SCC,
what would happen if a police officer defended a gangbanger in court or defended anyone for that matter? i remember about 10+ years ago a PO got suspended for delivering a subpeona in a case where the city was the defendent

A tale of Two Cities: Chicago vs. Houston
Posted on March 6, 2013 by Miguel
http://gunfreezone.net/wordpress/
The issue here is not whether a criminal defendant is entitled to an attorney.
The real issue is whether a Chicago Alderman can represent a criminal defendant charged with a crime by the Chicago Police?
So the same people who provide funding to the Chicago Police are also providing a defense against the Chicago Police? I can't quote you chapter and verse off the top of my head from the Rules of Professional Conduct (only on the first cup of coffee so far), but this one stinks to high heaven from a mile away.
If Chicago Policemen with law licenses are prohibited from practicing criminal law, I don't see why Chicago Alderman should be treated any different.
Not LEO, just a lawyer.
Let's not forget that these MUTTS work for you, the taxpayer. If you don't like the way these MORONS are dictating how you should live your life then do something about it (vote). Otherwise quit your bellyaching.
I dont know why this will be news shit like this doesnt surprise us. This nonsence stems will into cook county judges as well.
Ask our jagoff mayor how he would feel if Brookins defended one of Hadiya Pendelton's killers.
You know, the one he got all emotional about talking about the "gangbangers", "you gangbangers!"
What a jackass. No wonder he wanted to be mayor of Chicago. He fits right in.
I hope all this shit bites him in the ass when he runs for whatever national offices he covets.
Too bad the liberal jags don't care or pay attention. Otherwise he'd be out on his ear.
The shit is piling up around Rahm. All you can see is his eyes now. He has to play dumb.
Another fine example of Chicago's Alderscum.
Good boy Rahm.
Here's a treat.
~Patting him on the head. ~
Rham has been quiet lately, must be planning something big, or spending taxpayer money on something not needed, like a park instead of new squad cars or firing idiot civilian racist personnel directors...
When will it end, at least make Lynette Helm the boss in HR
I've dealt with him in 022 which takes in part of his ward and I can tell you, he is a Grade A piece of shit!!
Lawyers work on blame, either laying blame or avoiding it. They do not accept responsibility. Its a mind set taught by some of our best and most religious institutions. When our institutions teach this and it is accepted, we cant wonder why our city, state and country is in the crapper.
See..Gun sales soar.. on google.

and the fucking rat no-balls mayor defends him ...
you can't make this shit up
I am a Chicago cop and a lawyer
Mr. Mayor,
Can I criminally defend gangbangers with guns?
No? Why not, Mr. Mayor. Why not?
Ghetto politics. Like everything ghetto, there is no accountability, only playing the "victim" and blaming everyone else. What happened to the frank and open dialogue about race that we need in this country.
I'm surprised that you didn't have any commentary on the front page article in the fibune on Monday about Investigative Alerts. They have been a time bomb waiting to happen since they were started in C.H.R.I.S. years ago.
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.

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!!!!

Had good luck with jeweler downtown in mallers building. Danny and debbie jewelers. Check out their website. Police family.
Wait a minute, let me get this straight; the alderman is mad because he was called a hypocrite? Well that's the truth is it not? I wonder what would happen if an active member who happens to be an attorney decided to start representing thugs in court. Can you imagine the negative press? But it's okay alderman Brooklins, you have two things going for you, 1. Your BLACK. No one can tell a black man the truth especially if the black person is at fault. We just have to blame some white guy. (It's the new constitutional amendment that Obama passed)
And 2. Your an elected official in Illinois. Laws and ethics are just mere guidelines. Follow them if you'd like but they generally do not apply to you.
Just when I thought I was reading the onion! This story just keeps giving. Keep putting the microphone infront of this fool! Unbelievable!
Show me a poltician who doesn't talk out of both sides of their mouth. (crickets)
Just like the one who took SuperPac $$$$ from New York's Mayor. She was on the news saying she didn't ask him for that money. "No you didn't ask for it, but you sure did take it quick." If she had a shred of integrity she would have told him she doesn't need his bullshit money to win....Little does Bloomberg know she will more than likely she will using it for a defense lawyer when she is the next elected official indicted.
How about his law partner, the Judge at Juv. Court, who's more social worker than Judge. The Judge that hears the UUW cases. Check out his revolving door.
"The mayor was also quoted as saying something along the lines as what [aldermen do] in [their] private lives is [their] business."

True for the aldermen -- must also be true for the mayor, and even true for a President getting blowjobs under his desk in the Oval Office from some highly questionable dual citizen -- remember?
Also true for Sandi Jackson? JJJr.? Etc.
...and this is the Mayor who was making noises aout "transparency" and "new ethics boards."
...the same Mayor who will say that an elderly oncologist stabbed in the neck at a glitzy Mag Mile hotel "was attacked in a men's room, not on the street," and therefore it doesn't really matter...

I think everyone involved except the gang member with the gun behaved well.
The alderman is right, that everyone deserves competetant legal representation. Sneed is right to call him out as hypocritical demanding police action on gun crime while choosing to get a gang member with a gun off.
I wish Chicago had more newspapers, more stories like this.
Don't forget that he is taking drug/blood money as payments and collects over what $100,000 for a "part time" alderman job with a city pension to boot. Give me an RD # for robbery, victim... all of us
The bigger question is why we pay our aldermen good salaries to be part time employees. It should be a full time job with no "practices" on the side.
Today on the noon news Rahn said 1 in 5 tax dollars is being taken away from children day care and schooling for goverment empolyee pensions. The need for pension reform is more evident today as the need for more tax dollars increases.
I hope somebody is telling this goof if you are going to F~€$ with my pension you can best believe the Police and Fireman are going to do nothing for him. And when the rest of the city workers realize he's after their pension money also Rahm will be left holding his own dick when he wants something done!

Now tie this in with the report I just heard that Chicago is down 200,000 people from the last count.
...which tells you at least that 200,000 people of the type who will answer a census have departed.
That leaves people who take down their flags and take the 15 different names off their mailboxes and pull the shades and turn out the lights and no one is home until it blows by.

Interesting how raw scores can be done on some tests that very few want to take, yet the same can't be done for Sgts, Lts, etc. Unbelievable
C' mon people think, When do most court cases take place? during the days , correct? When are aldermen usually working? During the day, am I correct? The most important question of the day , one in which any one of us would be stripped and indicted for would most likely be, Are not these actions , alderman & attorney, be performed at the same time.... DOUBLE DIPPING.... Two pay checks while on city time???? Just saying ....
"I am a Chicago cop and a lawyer"
me too, and I would have loved to have defended Drew Peterson......a vilified individual? sure.....public sympathy? none....guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, based on legally admissible (i.e., non-hearsay evidence, based on a bullshit and arguably unconstitutional hearsay exception; well, this is of course Illinois, maybe the Federal Courts will rights the legal wrongs)... no way....Jose!

Wealthy Rauner launches exploration of Republican governor bid
2:48 p.m. CST, March 5, 2013
"Wealthy Chicago businessman Bruce Rauner moved a step closer Tuesday toward a potential bid for the Republican governor nomination, filing papers to form an exploratory committee and launching a 60-day listening tour of the state.
"The venture capitalist and private equity specialist already has been making the rounds of the Republican county Lincoln Day dinner circuit.
"Rauner said that in his travels of the state, “Folks seem hungry for an outsider who can’t be bribed and won’t be bought in Springfield.”
"Rauner, who’s making his first bid for elective office, said he planned on holding more than 35 events in the next two months and would court industry leaders as well as “teachers and first responders, along with leaders of our party.”
Rauner has been outspoken in his opposition to public employee unions. He also is close (!) to Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and was appointed by the mayor to the city's economic development and job creation council."

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!!!!
Fuck I hope you're not the police.

Is there such a thing as an alderman or other politician in this town that isn't in bed with the gangs???
I'm pretty sure that a criminal history and gang involvement is a pre-requirement to run for office in this crud infested shithole.

Here's a thought hair gel. Why don't your think about what's going to be be left to spend in your golden years instead of a fucking pool. The time will go quicker than you think and you'll regret the retro that you will spend on a pool in your changing neighborhood. I really do hope you set your priorities straight and you GROW the fuck up. TOOL.

the Republican wet dream off a democratic jag/jagoff combo.
Need retro check too. Fuck what happens 10 yrs. down the road and fuck the retirees. Worried about payin bills NOW.
"By 50 strap hangers I mean alderman, because I would not dear call them a body of goverment, they represent NO ONE."
NOT TRUE!
They represent themselves...and their friends & family.

Trace me, I'll give my email.at the end. I work for CDOT, used to work.for Streets & San. Whenever there was a big snow in a city election year, the City would.send us out to shovel crosswalks, bus stops and hydrants. In Ghetto neighborhoods, they would give us a list of ”handicapped folks” homes to shovel out. In Brookins ward, the houses on the list were drughouses. Nice. I refused, and threatened to get a reporter to follow me around. I see he hasn''t changed.

Retro? Do you even know what a retro check is? Oh wait - you were being sarcastic, sorry. It's early.
To the first poster, Nobody says you can't drink, but you can't show up for work still drunk. Big difference.

You should be driving a used car and be putting the max in deferred so you can retire from this place on the first day you are eligible. Go to a Park District pool, they are free or find a friend that likes to squander money and use his.
You know when you will see the light about saving and investing? When retirement is about a year away and you realize you've been blowing your money for almost 29 years.
Anyone on this job should max out deferred on day one and never deviate, you can retire with at least a half million in your 457k, at least. More if you are careful. You want deferred to give you 2 or 3 thousand extra a month for life plus your pension.
Then, when retirement is upon you, then and only then can you go buy a new car. I laugh when I see all these coppers driving a new car or leased Mercedes or BMW's and looking like a big spender. The car dealers love you chumps.
Save like a miser and leave this job as soon as you can with some relative wealth. How's you like to retire and suddenly you get a raise of around 30%? Not if you buy or lease new cars and big swimming pools.

Send this guy for a Psych evaluation.
the dork of the month award goes to our very own retro check pool buyer--- don't spend that 3 large on a pool--- you and your hillbilly buddies are just going to breach the thing and flood your basement--- take that three grand and go to your primary care physician and tell him you would like a frontal labotomy....

With the retro check you are going to be getting, Kmart has a nice 3 ft wide inflatable pool, 6 inches deep, cost around $12.00 Enjoy your summer

Sounds like a great plan and I hope it works out for you. But sometimes younger people want to enjoy life while they can and have their health. Looks real cool an old man in a Corvette and the beer belly in the speedo by the pool

'Looks' is not what it's all about. It's about being comfortable in the thirty or so years you may have AFTER you retire.
No one needs a new car every two years. No one needs the flashiest jewelry. And no one is saying you have to deny yourself everything that makes you happy. Just weigh what you might want against what you really need and you'll find you can sock away a lot of money for that day when some greedy politician wants to deny your pension, or tax you into poverty.
You won't miss the money if you have it taken out of your check from day one. I never did and now I wish I HAD used deferred comp. (Yes, I invested well and did fine by not touching my investments, except to re-invest.)
But deferred is painless. Bank it and forget about it. You'll be smugly buying vettes and whatever else you want at the end of this career and you won't give a damn if some young pup on an anonymous blog thinks you look silly at the pool.

It's clear you haven't been promoted by either merit or your test scores. So it's time for you to hit the books old school. New UCR codes are out there: one for aggravated battery with hands/feet/fists with minor injury (UCR 0440 me thinks). another UCR code is for aggravated battery with hands with serious injury (might be 0479--i don't have them memorized but these but can be easily checked).
Not a merit guy. just someone who keeps up with the rules, laws, etc., something the police should be doing.
example 1: Cubs fan punches White Sox fan in the face. Miscellaneous incident report, simple battery, or 19E after Sox fan gets mad for spilling his beer.
example 2: north sider punches south sider on the public way outside a Cubs game. south side was too drunk to see the punch coming and got a bloody nose but he will be fine. Agg Batt minor injury case report.
example 3: South Sider punches north sider on public way or anywhere. Agg Batt serious injury, or just dup it to ambulance if you don't like to do paper.

Go right ahead. Do you think those car salesman are smiling when you come in because they like you? They see Police on your app and know you are good for a new car every two or three years. I don't have to tell you what that money is worth after 30 years invested in something that appreciates rather than depreciates because you obviously know it all. Ever heard of compound interest?
I learned to adjust my wants and needs and make good decisions on priorities.
I never owned a Corvette, never wanted one, not my style. A new Honda Accord suits me fine and the financial security of knowing I will never want for anything.
I am 63, and thankfully have my health and no beer belly due to no beer. And I am retired and have a pile in deferred. I never wanted for anything while I was working. Even the 10 year old cars got me where I was going and I enjoyed it all with a smile.
Wants vs. needs
Of course, someone has to keep the Corvette assembly plant going so have at it. I look at Corvettes once a year at the Auto Show. And the house here is paid for and small mortgage on the one in Arizona.
Two houses that appreciate, not like that new car of yours but you enjoy yourself. When you go to retire you might wonder about where all those real sharp cars you used to have are at. At the car recycler going into new shiny cars most likely.
I have a story about two old wagon men who loved to go to the casino. They enjoyed life as you say. Both worked till 63 and both got new jobs after the CPD because they have to. Not for me, might be for you but no thanks.

Try to get a retro check anticipation loan and that ought to tell you something about the eventual size of your retro check. How about if that guy who longs to go swimming takes a few thou out of the savings acount for that 18 foot pool? Is that 18 feet deep or in diameter or in square feet?
Oh my God! You morons. It was a joke, somebody baiting you. I going to guess you guys aren't Dics.

it's the difference between 'old school' thinking, which is instinctively helpful, and 'new breed' thinking, which is instinctively mockful.
all things being equal, i prefer old school thinking.
though, i must admit, new breed thinking does make my work a whole lot easier.

Brookins, another illustrious south side aldermutant whose political organization depends on people with extensive criminal backgrounds. If Senator Ira Silverstein has his way, bloggers wont be able to get these stories out. Amazing just how deep and corrupt Chicago area politics are.
