Another Nice Gesture
- Hollywood actor and Chicago native Dennis Farina tipped his hat to the Second City posthumously today.
In lieu of flowers, anyone making a donation in honor of his death will be sending their money to the 100 Club of Chicago. The organization helps families financially after they have lost a loved one in the line of duty. These are families of firefighters, police officers among others.
Thank you Detective Farina.

Agree but for all the good of the 100 Club ... it has changed and in addition to a "Clouted circle"at the black tie dinner it gives an award to politicians like Crook County Pres Preckwinkle
I was a member for over 17 years (no hair gel here) but now I send my money directly to fallen CPD families
Stopped a guy a few yrs back with giant 100 Club Stickers on his windshield and drivers rear Well the guy gave me such a bunch of BS about just how He helps the Police and should be let off The guy was a wannabe cop and a stone cold Ahole
100 Club is Not you Dad's 100 Club they use to just give money quietly But now is the place to be seen and rub shoulders
That is a true class act.
The guy has more class in death than so many do in life. RIP Dennis Farina
that man was a class act for his whole life. he grew up with my Mom and her sisters. Long time ago when I was a frightened gone away college student he sent me a "buck up" package.
Crap. What a way to find out the passing of a great actor. He will be missed.
Sect 8 EVERYWHERE!

Dennis was a great man Never forgot he bled blue!
(OT) A couple things I would like to say 1st, to many of my fellow brothers and sisters, don't worry about "trying to find out" who runs SCC! It would like when you found out about Santa! Here's the answer repeated before ready? SCC is he thoughts you have, inspiration, a quick laugh, sarcasm, silliness, great information, the blog is run by the "spirits of he air," people who really care about the hard working coppers, wherever, whoever, SCC is they spend many hours on their own time putting this great blog together! If you disagree with the blog that's ok this is America, but why send words that are unconscionable for print, and wonder why the spirits don't print them!
How about a "thanks for everything you do SCC" as for me if I knew who he/them/she was I would buy them all dinner, for exposing the truth, making us laugh, thank you from an avid reader veteran copper!
Top tier ball-buster along with Hinchy et al. Few and far between these days
Not surprising, coming from a guy like Farina.
100 CLUB
Always remembered where he came from and his old friends.
An truth that Masters and Hamilton were honored By 100 Club for their work as terrorist experts?
Nobody's got nothing to say about Hanhardt? Farina was a good guy, and this was a good thing no doubt still.
All I can say is he was my friend a great copper and a lot of fun to be with. He was a class act to the end RIP Denny you will be missed greatly. My kids would see him on tv and get all excited because "Dennis is on TV" GOD bless you buddy hope your with the guy's having a good time behind the counter. Thanks LVPD.

Phil quit your bitching would yeah? You get your annual 150K, leave Dennis out of it. Remember pigs get fat, hogs go to slaughter!
The 100 Club is aces!
Hot off Facebook, SCC. You might consider making this a separate posting
100 Club of Chicago
The services commemorating the life of our dear friend Dennis Farina have been set. The visitation will take place at Montclair-Lucania Funeral Home (6901 W. Belmont) on Monday, July 29th at 4pm. The funeral service will be held at Assumption Church (323 W. Illinois Street) on Tuesday, July 30th at 10am.
Police: 'Kid cop' busted again for posing as officer In 2009, Richardson was so convincing that he was able to sneak into a South Side police station and even went on patrol with a real officer for more than five hours. This time, he didn't get past a uniform store clerk, authorities said.
Richardson, now 19, was arrested soon after he walked into the VCG Uniform store in the 5000 block of West Irving Park Road posing as an Englewood District officer Tuesday afternoon, according to the Cook County state's attorney's office.

I'm so sorry for your loss. May the Officer rest in peace.
OT , NBC 6:00 news warns shoppers about the dangers shopping on Wabash near Washington , but fail to give a description of offenders .
What's the deal with Female Lt's at headquarters, is it a prerequisite for the rank that they be total biotches? Simple common courtesy seems to be thrown out the window. No this is not a misogynistic man's opinion, if a the males in the rank did the same thing collectively I would also point this out. Just a simple observation.
RIP, we've lost a great regular guy too soon.
great officer and actor and a class act even from beyond. Godspeed brother

100 Club has volunteer serving as director, not a guy who does it for steak dinner money at Gene and Georgettis. PC makes more at the memorial fund than I made in salary. Big heart, huh? 100 Club is all of Cook County, not just CPD.

Maximo, the copper from Vegas was offering HIS condolences over Farina.

Dear Uninformed,
The "volunteer" director of the 100 Club earns $153K a year. Some people don't like PC, I get it. However, the CPD Memorial Fund has helped numerous officers, including myself. They were there when the 100 Club wasn't. Two great organizations doing great things. Please, get your facts straight when posting

Did you interrupt the constant visits from their significant others and other personal business? That tends to make some of them biotchy.

Subject: "Dennis Farina Hollywood Walk of Fame" for a graphic and a suggest for a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for Dennis Farina.
If granted, maybe the star could have his number on it so both careers are represented.

You are right. I hate Phil Cline. And, he is making 150K plus his pension, so he gets paid to play Mr. Wonderful. If you knew him as I know him, you would know he is a pos.
