More Exempts Leaving?

Comments are saying that Skahill put in her papers.  No great loss there.

But it appears to be part of a larger trend all of the sudden. No less than 3 Chiefs have put in their papers in April and May. And another 8 exempts are rumored to have dropped their retirement notices.

They can't all be going to the Amtrak police.  And to have the equivalent of a year's worth or retirements in the first third of the year? What could possibly be the cause?

Probably know of a city of Chicago pension bill rham is going to ram thru the general assembly after madigan rams his state pension plan thru. Better to be retired than active when these pass. Sorry for all those state workers that they want to make work till 67.

One of the 'possible' causes is the threat of pension reform (translation: cuts). I know of one boss, in particular, who felt it was better to ensure his pension benefits now than wait for a possible promotion down the line.

Hmmmm... Not good...

Here... We'll connect the dots.

Rahm has McMooky and his fellow L.E. gypsies from New Yuck firmly in place as heat shields for the ongoing upward fucking of CPD.

McMooky and the New Yuckers have the junior home grown Gold Stars as heat shields to beat on and point and laugh at when shit goes wrong like somebody straying off script.

When word started circulating that McMooky berated Joe Patterson for alleged "disloyalty" in leaving aka getting the fuck out for survival's sake, THAT was a big tell to everybody else sitting at the card table.

McMooky doesn't know the first thing about loyalty or integrity for that matter.

And the whole world knows...

When the insulating layers of designated fall guys and heat shields start running the fuck away, those at the top start to get concerned because with no insulation, THEIR ASSES get burned when the smoking, slowly rolling shit-show that is CPD pulls into the break-down lane and bursts the fuck into flames.

We all know that Flamin' Tutu and McMooky will both crack a hip trying to dodge a hard and pointy question.

The problem is no one is raising the hard and pointy questions except the coppers on this blog.

The current corps of so called Chicago investigative reporters are willfully deaf and blind.

But they will joyfully turn out the contents of a Copper's underwear drawer for public scrutiny.

The whole muthafuckin' world is watching and Rahm is hating it...

It's fucking up the revisionist narrative he's trying desperately to create.

The really funny thing?

From here on out... NOBODY remotely in their right mind would be willing to take a chance on stepping up to these soon to be empty Gold Star spots because it is ALREADY nation-wide news in the L.E. community that CPD is where a Gold Star dream of grandeur shits the bed and dies like a mean, rotten muthafuckah because of mayoral fuckery.


Ask the recent former superintendent what happened...

He thought he would be some high flying national public safety czar by now or some other homemade bullshit.

CPD = The Flying Dutchman of Law Enforcement...

Nothing but skeletons on the deck crying for burial, McMooky at the helm laughing and bug-eyed and Flamin' Tutu in a tied dinghy screeching like a banshee gone mad...

Rahm = Death to Everything and Everybody just to make the point that he's the smartest one yet...

Every intelligent living thing is jumping into the drink to escape these two maniacs.

The cause for the recent chiefs bolting is a simple one:
1) They've stayed the required amount of time in their exempt positions (except for Joe Patterson as Chief of Patrol).
2) They're past the age of 50, so they can start collecting within 45 days of their official retirement.
3) They've all found better things to do with the 2nd half of their lives (not hard to do when one considers
the sorry shape the CPD is in today).

Now that someone or something is causing many of the department's" leaders" to retire, why is everyone complaining? None of these exempts have ever been held accountable for their actions, their leadership or results of their crime fighting ideas. As a matter of fact, none of them ever had any crime fighting ideas. I knew Skahill when she was a sergeant in the academy. A nice person, but for an attorney, not impressive at all. If you go to any of their " retirement" parties then you are a fool.

If Rahm was Stalin he would have had all these people shot.

The ones who are under 50 must have something else to go to and not much attachment and loyalty to the blue shirts they work with.

The rest are worried about changes to pensions and benefits as we all should be.

Besides all that, this is part of Rahm's plan to use McGeneralissimo as his Hatchetman to run this department on the cheap. It is to erase all memory what the CPD use to be. Get rid of all the institutional memory, all the skills went with older detectives and good street bosses.

Who needs promotions, just run watches with Lieutenants or in some cases with Sergeants. Any opportunity to fire an officer over a B-S C.R. lowers the cost of running the department and will give McFailure a sound bite on the six o'clock news.

It would not surprise me in the least if Rahm like Stalin started to erase the history of the CPD and blotting select people out of photos.

Since most of these exempts are politically connected, what do they know that the average PO does not? Is there some hint that a new pension bill for the FOP will be rammed through springfield? Maybe not to hurt retirees but have an impact on those still working? Or is this one big coincidence that they are leaving now?

no one is indispensable. we can all be replaced and usually it is not all that hard to find someone to do the job as well or even better. the department has way too many chiefs anyway. maybe the best thing would be to not to replace any of them.

if they really are moving on they will be mostly forgotten a few weeks or months after they are gone. life will go on. just like when anyone else moves on.

chances are they just found a better opportunity.

I agree with the original poster, and poster #3. Young Tom Byrne is a class act. I worked for him when he was a lieutenant. The kind of guy who you could call "Tom" instead of "lieutenant", or whatever his rank was. Pompus is the last word I'd use to describe him. Good for him that he's moving on and getting out. Best of luck, sir. To the second poster, you obviously never worked for the man.

WOW!!! Someone who actually believes that this merit promotion policy is on the up and up. Yews, there are some who truely deserve a merit promotion and get it, but there are far more who are there because of politics and nothing more and, of course, there are those who really deserve a merit promotion but will never get it because the process is very inclusive. Bottom line, anyone who thinks the process is good and just and fair is a complete ahole, moran, asshat, dipshit hack.

chief Juan Rivera should be superintendant

5/03/2013 05:10:00 PM

He can't speak on camera or to a crowd. Dumb as a box of rocks, and 100% reliant on those around him. He is, however, a master at back stabbing and taking care of his closest friends at the detriment of entire Bureaus. He may have been a good street officer, and made a whole lot of money in Narcotics as a merit Sergeant (but that's a story for another time) but as a Chief he is in way over his head. Anyone who says otherwise is willfully ignorant. Show a Marine tattoo and he'll be your buddy.

Id rather have the Sgt that worked his/her ass off. But that happens far and few between. Most if not 90% of the merits I have worked for have been ass kissing useless scared little bitches.

You, sir, will spend the rest of your pitiful career blaming everyone else for your own inadequacies and failure to move ahead on this job. Of course, you'll say you never wanted to be promoted and possibly become a responsible Department member. But then again ... you are an ignorant moron.

Fuck off merit hack.

5/04/2013 05:45:00 AM

Of course ... that's exactly the type of response we'd expect from you. Simply proves the point.

What's your point? The problem is that most of these merit hacks never worked their asses off, they got it handed to them. This department is filled with good, decent, hard working coppers that will never get a fair shot at merit even though they deserve it more then most of these thieves.

I love how you guys talk about the gold braids stealing from "your" pension fund; most of those guys have been paying into the fund longer than you've had hair under your arm, at 9 % of every rank they achieved.

5/04/2013 01:43:00 AM

Not only is the above true but it still amazes me that most of us cannot understand basic finance or the basic funding theory of the pension fund. One would think that this would be one of the first things you did when you got on the job. Additionally, the gold braids are a statistically insignificant part of the pension fund. We need to focus on what really impacts the pension before we lose what is constitutionally ours.

For all those that keep writing that we have too many bosses, it's better to have that many and the perception that you might get promoted than say there is no chance at all.

I agree Tom Byrne is a class act all the way. But look at the shambles the detective division is in, he is the boss he has to take the heat. The D unit is full of horrible Sgts that couldn't lead a parade. Byrne shouldn't of been a nice guy all the time, somebody has to be the bad guy.
The problem is all these Cheifs that are leaving should be banding together and sticking up for the working PO's.

Say what you want about Rivera but he was definitely NOT a merit sergeant! He made it in '94; the first of three classes made off the Arthur Anderson administered exam. That was the last legit exam given before the creation of the " merit" bullshit. If you don't know what you're talking about don't guess.

Chief Tom Byrne. A gentleman, and a class act. Two things lacking today, not only in our society, but in the Chicago Police Department.
I'm sure he realized the department was doomed and no longer felt he could alter its destiny under the present superintenent, and rather than being part of the problem and not part of the solution, decided it was time to go.
Chief, you will be missed and I' m proud to say I worked with you and for you.

He was denied manpower. He was denied resources. He was denied tools to accomplish the task at hand. Can't blame HIM for that.
If a superintendent sets you up for failure, it's the superintendent who's to blame.

O'Grady was annoited when in was in 013 Tac , circa 1985.
Could not type a SW or knew were 26th. and Cal was.
He runs a unit that produces nothing. There are so many people on the floor that they had to place additional bracing of the flooring.
All simple shit seizures. The money wasted there is way out of line. Take home cars and 20 hour weeks is the norm under his leadership.
But the Supt and him are blood related from some clan in county Monroe.

It is written in the contract. As long as that contract remains in effect it is an entitlement. A contractual entitlement. Read the contract. It is expired but the provisions remain in effect until a new contract is agreed upon. Same with the 60 year old provision for health insurance.

Roy is a French Canadian surname typically pronounced "Wa". (example former Montreal Canadians goalie Patrick Roy). Gene may be short for Eugene but is more likely a Anglicized version of Jean which is French. With as pompous as "Wa" is, I see the "French Connection" there. Ha ha ha!
