You Chicago Coppers are the bestest, baddest and funniest soldiers in God's Army!

This is better than Rowboat Rahm!

"You cops are wild and out of control!"

Would anyone in their right mind, knowing the unpredictable nature of Policing, follow the top-hatted mook in the picture through a door?

Please... He has the luck of the Devil.

Everybody following him would become as casualty... He would come out unscathed.

Looks like a '70s Flashback. Apply, jump through hoops, get on the list, and wait. And wait. And wait. And if you're lucky, get a call from another department that WILL hire you. Sorry, CPD. Got tired of waiting.

NYPD will deploy 'harmless' gas into subway in terror response drill

The New York City Police Department announced Wednesday that it will deploy, then track, what it calls “harmless” gases into the city’s subway system over three non-consecutive days this summer.

Yeah...we've heard this "it's harmless" line so many times throughout history haven't we?

Vietnam and agent orange, the atomic bomb testing..Gulf war syndrom, etc

Blowing $3.4 million dollars to play people in NYC as lab rats. A nation crumbling under the weigth of it's own security apparatus.

http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2013/04/25/mayor-touts-success-of-foot-patrol-saturations-but-residents-not-so-sure/

CHICAGO (CBS) – Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Police Supt. Garry McCarthy said Thursday that a recent move to step up foot patrols in some of the most violence-prone neighborhoods is paying off.

They said “Operation Impact,” an effort to saturate high-crime areas with rookie officers on foot patrol and veteran officers working on overtime and days off is making those areas safer.

I can do nothing all day and still be considered a hero. Being the police is a thankless job. No one on the street respects you. Shit no one in the court room respects you anymore. Chicago media and every lawyer in town can't wait to stick it to you. So if I can make the same money working two days a week and get the same pension.

I sat down with pen and paper and realized I had not one good thing I could tell future cops except that hopefully on the day they are hired the current administration is gone.

Hey 1:40 AM, lay off the conspiracy Kool-Ade! That's NYPD using actual science to plan/prepare for an attack, as opposed to CPD's method of using old outdated videos that sometimes play on old outdated computers in roll call or T.A.R.A classes sprinkled with "instructors" that can't even pronounce some of words integral to the material they're talking about. You've released more noxious gases on your wife/girlfriend/boyfriend/cat whenever you subject him/her to a
"dutch oven" that the rest of us stop thinking was funny at the age of 15. Worry more about what you can do about actual threats like the erosion of your Constitutional rights. BTW, HAARP doesn't actually control the weather, and we did, in fact, put a man on the moon.

What kind of idiot actually believes that releasing any form of gas to flood a subway system has a fuckin' thing to do with terrorism?

You're both idiots. There's zero feasible reason to flood an entire subway system with anything to "stop terrorism" and every FUCKING reason in the world to know as fact that the only intent of this exercise is to plan for control of the population in the event of catastrophe, either by flooding it to prevent people from leaving the city en masse or to put them down in an enclosed area where they are contained.

The judges have been doing that for a while. I inquired why this was the case? I got a reply. The County wants the judges to handle two to three court rooms and they can't leave early like they used to. Especially on Friday's when everyone left early.

So the judges are pissed and because it's up to them to determine the final outcome. The final outcome is always going to be not guilty.

The recruiters were asked what the graduates were supposed to do for an average of 4 years post graduation?
They replied get hired by another department and bring their experience to the CPD!

Right and sit through 6 months of academy training because they have experience now.

I know of a large state Univeristy which no longer welcomes the CPD recruiters to their annual job fairs since the city raised the hiring age to 25.
The recruiters were asked what the graduates were supposed to do for an average of 4 years post graduation?
They replied get hired by another department and bring their experience to the CPD!

Right and sit through 6 months of academy training because they have experience now.

What a bunch of bullshit. I know two people who worked their ass off to get school and college credit and were waiting to take the test when the City raised the age. Then Ladner comes in and fucks it all up a lot more. Screw this City, they will screw you.

Some of the best police officers I ever met came on at age 20 but turned 21 at O'Brien St. I came on with a GED. You don't need more to push a beat car. Clout matters more than college.

I was going to stay till 63 but it stopped being enjoyable so I left with the 60/medical and am damn glad I did. No regrets. I enjoyed most of my time on and I really enjoy my time off. Being retired is wonderful.

Fire department wants me too. Even with 10years on I'm still considering it even though its a 35grand pay cut. On the fire dept every work day is your Friday. Less chance ill get sued. I can do nothing all day and still be considered a hero. Being the police is a thankless job. No one on the street respects you. Shit no one in the court room respects you anymore. Chicago media and every lawyer in town can't wait to stick it to you. So if I can make the same money working two days a week and get the same pension.

Several people I knew quit and went over to the Fire Dept. None of them regretted it. If you can go then I say do it and don't look back. Just be advised that it isn't you father's fire department like it isn't your father's police department.

They send equipment to every ambulance call so you will be going to a lot of those, if you work an engine or a truck, lots of ambulance calls in your future. They treat them like glorified ambulances now.

What the hell is this?

CHICAGO (CBS) – Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Police Supt. Garry McCarthy said Thursday that a recent move to step up foot patrols in some of the most violence-prone neighborhoods is paying off.

They said “Operation Impact,” an effort to saturate high-crime areas with rookie officers on foot patrol and veteran officers working on overtime and days off is making those areas safer.

A dozen homicides make it safer too if the right people are getting kilt.

So you go to the ambulance call and do what? Stand around and watch the paramedics work Might cut into your sleep, but not much else
