Brutal Parade
- Over the course of the 45-minute victory parade held Friday morning to celebrate the Chicago Blackhawks’ NHL championship, the Stanley Cup sustained nearly a dozen gunshot wounds, city police officials have confirmed.
“Multiple gun-wielding individuals, all appearing to operate independently, fired approximately 25 shots at the trophy, resulting in 11 direct hits,” said Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy, who confirmed the famous trophy’s injuries may leave many of the names of past champions engraved upon it permanently illegible, including the entire roster of the 1999 Dallas Stars.
“We are seeking any information regarding the current whereabouts of the Cup’s assailants, as well as the identities of the 1.3 million revelers facing charges of public intoxication.” Parade coordinators reportedly elected to continue the rally, stating that the crowds of Chicagoans did not seem at all fazed by the gunfire.
Word is that Rahm and McStreetlightMarksman are considering banning parades.
On a serious note, why were the powers-that-be telephoning Districts after 2000 hours demanding additional manpower from the day crew be sent to the Blackhawks rally? They had off-duty tact teams and a regular District draw, but we still heard every District Station Supervisor walked in at 0500 hours and found out they were going to be short anywhere from a wagon to three additional cars. This is the "planning" and forethought McCarthy was bragging about since Monday?
- In 23 years on the job and having worked hundreds of details, I can say with confidence that this one was THE worst as far as proper planning. The bosses in charge didn't have a clue who was out there and where they were when they were calling for assists.
I should have known that it was going to be bad when they had 400 coppers staged at Waldron Parking Deck waiting fr busses and had 6 empty busses staged at McFetridge Drive waiting for coppers.
The pick-up busses were no better. Most coppers decided to walk instead of waiting for the ride back and most actually beat the bus back.
The only water bottles were provided by CFD, nothing from CPD. No Breaks, on post and ROT.
Howard the Coward running around like an idiot, Adrian Stanley asking every copper that walked by if try knew how to operate a Stic radio and the best was Car 5 releasing all of Columbus Drive PPO's before the street was ready to be opened.
It may have looked go on TV and thank god there was no major incidents but behind the scenes it was messed up!!!
Unbelievable.

Even drunk Radtke would've handled this no problem. This us funny until something serious happens and coppers end up getting hurt.
“Multiple gun-wielding individuals, all appearing to operate independently, fired approximately 25 shots at the trophy..."
And Crawford stopped them all!!
Completely not true. There was 2 million people to 500 police. Of course there was issues. But overall, great planning, better then 2010. I too have been involved in alot of details. This is one of the best especially with how short we are. Stop blaming bosses for everything. Take some responsibility and make things work.
Can't think of a single exempt that has any real street learnin' under their belt...
Nobody but goofs, incompetents, clout babies, crazies and egomaniacs aspire to be an exempt.
Everybody else just want to be left alone long enough to retire without incident or fanfare and get the fuck out of dodge and finally live like a normal human being... Somewhat...
Best part is that all the CFD disappeared when the Hawks hit the stage. CFD didn't respond to requests for passed out and heat victims until a Sgt went back stage and grabbed a group of them. There were two CFD who were out there busting there ass the entire time so I don't want to trash talk them but the rest of the CFD bosses and paramedics hid behind the stage and wouldn't come out because they were too busy snapping photos. A couple P.O.'s had to go in and grab a guy who passed out and carry him out. Then after waiting several minutes a PO had to go back stage and grab two paramedics who pissed and moaned the entire time about having to walk over and treat the guy.
I know there was a lot of people but Grant Pk estimates of 2 million?
Chicago's entire population is 2.7 million people. Think about that.
Nevertheless how about this for a visual them. The number of people that are on Food Stamps in the state of Illinois is 2,048,658 as of Mar 2013.

That's Rahm's World-Class city. Now let's get out there and close 50 more schools, layoff some first responders and build another park for the elites to celebrate in. We can do it YES WE CAN -- as soon as we get our hands on that pension money after the theft i mean reform.
No casino's until we get that pension stuff either. We don't want any coppers or city working whining that we should pay what we promised into the retirement fund. Hell no.
/sarcasm??
we looked like a bunch of rookies out there with yellow vests on. even the bosses were wearing them. total amatuer hour.
If Jody Weis was still around, all would be differant. Xame for Richie Daley.
Both are gone and are you all happy now. Wies and Daley ran things the right way. Rahm and the drunk are lost in every degree. Wait until the FL case is over.ep
Oh no not the 1999 Dallas Stars. Eddie Belfour was their goalie.
Wow! They really hate that cup!
Loved the heckling from the crowd when Gov. Quinn took the stage. In addition to the many "boos" that were shouted at hizzoner, someone yelled, "get lost jackass". lmao
GO BLACKHAWKS
Well, I don't understand it. CPD's best and brightest couldn't handle a parade. Or maybe they're not. Maybe their highest qualification is who they are related to.
How can this be ?
WTF. I heard it was a mess. Wayne Gulliford is so mich in need of retirement. He walks around like a smiley Zonbie.
His crew has been jacking up the last 3 detail orders.

LMAO May I ask where were you? Once again we were left on our own with little to no supervision. Our dear leaders as usual didn't know what was going on, where to go. I even wanted a radar gun to clock the busses. That wasn't a parade
once again he regular guys and gals got screwed.
Watched it on TV and it was interesting that NBC put on a highlight video and when they came back Rahm was just finishing up.

Gulliford always was and still is a great boss. And guess what, junior? He's not that old. Maybe if you had something positive to add rather than throwing shit at things you obviously don't understand, this would be a better place to work. Instead, we get morons like you.
Po Crossing Guard Supervisors were in absentia
Laugh but there is a serious point here Why do we have these clouted babies when there is work to be done
Cpd provided water....the same water they tried giving us during NATO. Expiration date June of 2009!

The reason it did work was because of PO's and Sgts that got tired of standing around waiting for the order to do something and just made command decisions on their own. That's why it worked out. The exempts talk a great game about cutoffs and footprint of the venue and assets but when it comes to execution they fell flat on their face.
I would personally like to thank PPO "Tackleberry" from the Bureau of Organizational Development who was kind enough to ask me "Do you want to get shot" when I grabbed a bottle of water that the CFD had left near the entrance at Balbo.
Silly me, I must have been suffering a mild case of heat exhaustion, from walking around in the heat, when I foolishly approached and grabbed a bottle of water. Why would I think this would be okay after my partner, Le'Rome Jay'On, told you we were the police, working in plain clothes, and looking for a bottle of water??? Again, it must have been the heat.
Good for you that, almost 17 years later on this job, that I have had more moments of clarity now than I did when I first started out like you. I can vaguely recall the first big detail I had, spending all day on a corner like you, and so looking forward to going to Ira's to tell war stories with the boys. Thankfully, for you, I did not do what I so wanted to do and you were only left with the 1000 yard stare and me biting my lip.
One last thing, loose the gloves when you're directing traffic "Tackleberry," if this is even possible, it makes you look like even more of a hand-job then you already are. With that being said, I am sure you will be a boss someday — you just seem to have that special where-with-all and that somebody will deem is meritoriously worthy....
Damn Dawg

That's an east coast thing - NYC, Boston, Philly. Just more that bullshit mentality overtaking our Midwest.
Most of the people involved in the planning were either merit sergeants or merit lieutenants.
This is where the system leads.
Blah, blah, blah. Bitch, bitch, bitch. Just do your job, and if you want to manage, get promoted and manage. Bottom line is 2 million people assembled and dispersed with little problems. Great job by all (most) involved. Thank you.
Parade was fine. Those complaining are the ones with no experience or time on the job.

You are a moron. I sure hope you are not a cop. Just because the new regime is worse than the previous does NOT mean that the old guys were any good. It's like comparing a shit sandwich to a festering garbage taco.
The PPO's got released because we didn't have a purpose after that. The crowds were basically 95% done, SWAP & Streets & Sans were already doing clean up, S&S were picking up barricades and clearing the area. What purpose did 200+ PPO's have at that point other than to stand around and absorb heat?
Thanks to M6 for keeping me off the rocks. You guys are the best.
This was a bunch of people celebrating a sports victory. Nothing to do with politics or class warfare anything else that typically brings out all the nerds we remember from high school that want to cause problems. This group was largely happy and social... As expected. Aside from looking out for any terrorists, this was what it should have been... A good day. No surprises here, now quit making a big deal about it.
This was a day where all you had to do was stand there and answer questions and be polite. Quit it with the falling sky already you fear mongers.
Please post a pic of Rham trying to hoist the cup
What a Whimp!!
Could not believe the stuff that I read about the festivities in Wrigleyville on Monday. Did not know that Elias Voulgaris was in charge of the Town Hall station in Lakeview. Had not thought of that character in years. Knew him in high school when he was developing a deserved reputation as a meathead. Heard that he was on the CPD, but to think that someone promoted him to a position of responsibility boggles the mind.

The order for the Gay Pride parade is out... it states EVERYONE must wear the yellow vests.
NO leather vests or leather chaps either unless you are working undercover.
Why the yellow vests? So people know your the police? Soooo, the uniform doesn't do the trick? How about fluorescent yellow uniform shirts?
The consequences of " merit & clout " promotions.
Can't think of a single exempt that has any real street learnin' under their belt...
Nobody but goofs, incompetents, clout babies, crazies and egomaniacs aspire to be an exempt.
eliminate the "gold braid" enhancement
The city will not support events/parades such as a Chicago team winning a championship which is on average every decade or so but will flip the bill for such nonsense as the Pride parade year after year after year.
If you think the bosses are screwed up what about the po's that bought this story of the 11 gunshots in the cup. Po's that have no understanding of gunshots or how things work on the street and believe that could go unnoticed and the Blackhawk players are holding a trophy that is being shot at and has 11 holes in it.
Talk about softballs, would have to be the laughing stock of the country
Guy on previous post says the city should acknowledge it
Howard The Coward.....that's the perfect name for him. He is scared of his own shadow and will NEVER make a decision!!!!!!
2,000,000 people attend the blackhawks celebration , one UUW arrest of a male black .
let's fine him a few thousand and send him to jail for a few years.
I never heard any mention on the news of the 20 suburban ambos called in for mutual aid just around 10 a.m.
Did anyone else??
Or are the powers that be trying to keep it out of the headlines?

You haven't figured it out yet, ppo, but you aren't a tourist anymore, simply ATTENDING a function.
You now HAVE a function, and it's to serve and protect. First one in, last one out, least appreciated, most necessary. You don't get to go home early because your feet are tired or the sun is warm. If all hell had broken loose, whether by terrorist act, collapsing bridge, out of control motorist... a couple hundred extra blue shirts might be of use.
You have zero time on, so try to refrain from posting about major event plannng policies for a few years. Close mouth, open brain, learn your job before you tell others how it should be done.

The guy might be a lot of things, but physically wimpy isn't one of them. He's completed a triathlon, which is probably more than your lard ass has done. Or are you one of those plateheads who thinks that hoisting heavy pieces of iron from a stationary position makes you a stud? And by the way, dancers are tremendous athletes, so rag on him for something other than his physical prowess.

Get off probation, add at least 7 years, and then you can spout off. Someday you will realize that 5% can cause one hell of a lot of mayhem.
Seriously, you will get a lot further on this job if you just keep your mouth shut and your opinions to yourself for at least the next 2 years or so.
Shhhh. Watch. Listen. Learn.
I love how people say "hey recruit just listen and you don't know how events work". I have a good idea, and we had an awesome Sergeant at our post along with good Officers who were watching over us. Like I said, 95% of the crowd left. Explain to me "last one to leave". It was in the Loop at 2pm, when does EVERYONE leave the Loop ever? Our primary presence wasn't needed. We were there for crowd control, the crowds dispersed, we left.
Besides, with the amount of whining and crying in this blog, you should be happy to see/have motivated recruits. There is too much "wahh, this didn't happen", "wahh, this post sucks", "wahh my bosses yell at me". I agree with the comments about "do your job and shut up".

Most counties in Illinois aren't even enforcing it anymore, provided you have a valid FOID card. Of course the SA office of Cook County aren't exactly the brightest crayons in the box, so...
Look jackass like I said Gulliford fucked up the detail orders.
They can't even get them out in time so the people would know what they have to do.
Reason you're taking up for him is because you're probably the Moran that's screwing up the detail orders.
And if he's not ready to retire because of age then he need to cause he's to damn slow and old looking.
Yeah ok great Boss. Quit swinging on his bat

From the MUTCD, Chapter 6:
Standard:
04 All workers, including emergency responders, within the right-of-way who are exposed either to
traffic (vehicles using the highway for purposes of travel) or to work vehicles and construction equipment
within the TTC zone shall wear high-visibility safety apparel that meets the Performance Class 2 or 3

Paragraph 5. A person designated by the employer to be responsible for worker safety shall make the
selection of the appropriate class of garment.

and labeled as ANSI 207-2006, in lieu of ANSI/ISEA 107-2004 apparel.
Standard:
06 When uniformed law enforcement personnel are used to direct traffic, to investigate crashes, or to
handle lane closures, obstructed roadways, and disasters, high-visibility safety apparel as described in this
Section shall be worn by the law enforcement personnel.

Isn't water millions of years old? How can it expire?
Could not believe the stuff that I read about the festivities in Wrigleyville on Monday. Did not know that Elias Voulgaris was in charge of the Town Hall station in Lakeview. Had not thought of that character in years. Knew him in high school when he was developing a deserved reputation as a meathead. Heard that he was on the CPD, but to think that someone promoted him to a position of responsibility boggles the mind.

Even more mind boggling is that he was promoted, demoted and then re-promoted

CFDs planning was no better. They rehired and had foot teams but their main back up plan was MABAS Boxes. Mutual aid from the suburbs - so yes to answer someone's question - 20 Ambulances were requested. They staged the 1st 10 at the Academy - when they got moved downtown - they requested another 10!

Plastic bottles are the problem, not the water. Pesky stuff like cancer... but otherwise, it's all good.
Excuse me, but I have been the police probably longer than most who post stuff here, but there is nothing in any directive that says the city or Dept. shall supply you with water, food or snacks. Any officer with time on this job who has worked any type of these details knows that you provide for yourself, or if on a Tact team, you guys provide for each other and the team, stop whinning about what the city didn't give you!!!.
Nobody's sucking ass. I can't stand the guy. But he's still in pretty good shape, shorter distance notwithstanding.

Water spoils?

save the few brain cells you've got and don't ponder this any further.

You've never been in a position of leadership. Do you know people do need a relief once in a while. Some of us refuse to take a piss or crap on Halsted,Michigan or any other street while standing post. I guess standing post for eight hours is no big deal to you. When become a supervisor you're supposed to look out for your subordinates.
Blame Eli, a man who would do anything for another copper. Eli never hurt a copper, period.
"...you are the Moran that is screwing up the orders..."
Unless the guy that is working for Wayne is named Moran, who is the moron?????
