Hush Now Reverend
- The eyes of the city will be on Chicago Public Schools “Safe Passage” routes Monday morning as thousands of children walk unfamiliar sidewalks to newly assigned schools in the wake of massive school closings.
“We’re ready,” said Alice Henry, principal of Johnson School of Excellence in North Lawndale, which is welcoming about 60 students from the now-shuttered Pope Elementary. “We’re in good shape and I’m confident this is going to be a smooth transition.”
Mayor Rahm Emanuel and CPS CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett, who’ve been navigating the rocky aftermath of closing 47 elementary schools this year, also insist the program is ready. Emanuel has declared it an “all-hands-on-deck” scenario in which every adult in Chicago — especially city workers — should lend a hand.
Last week, at a rally held to pump up his troops and showcase them to the media, Emanuel — who plans to visit the Safe Passage routes Monday morning — told the safety workers: “You are our front line.”
Just hope that the "front line" isn't like the Eastern Front in 1942.
But someone in the hood is smelling what Rahm is shoveling:
But someone in the hood is smelling what Rahm is shoveling:
- But Pastor Marshall Hatch of New Mount Pilgrim Baptist Church, who fought school closings, questions the program’s substance.
“I’m concerned that much of it is more of a public relations campaign than a safe passage plan,” Hatch said Sunday night. “Signs don’t protect people, and I don’t think there’s enough of a community partnership to have something that is effective over the long run. But we’ll have to try to make the best out of a bad situation.”
Ald. Bob Fioretti (2nd), who has slammed the Safe Passage program as having been thrown together at the last minute, was hopeful Sunday night that the saturation of city resources would be effective.
“It should be a safe day for kids tomorrow and the next couple of weeks. . . . I just think we need to be vigilant in what we do,” Fioretti said.
This from a member of the legislative body that was supposed to "vigilant" over funding our pensions.
Of course, the weather is going to be perfect.....perfectly awful:
Of course, the weather is going to be perfect.....perfectly awful:
- Highs in the 90s are predicted for the area on Monday and Tuesday with higher humidity potentially pushing the heat index into the 100s, according to the National Weather Service. And there's a good chance that temperatures those days will approach the record highs of 97, both set in 1973. Tuesday looks like the hottest of the two days.
Maybe everyone can hold parasols over the children so they don't get sunburned?

What perfect weather for school season in the 90's !!! Good thing we have safe passage!!!
Glad I don't have kids at least not yet. chicago parents make great sacrifices for their children attending public and private schools in the city. But high taxes and high tuition mean absolutely nothing. Maybe some parents can start a home school program. Cheaper and safer. Think anything is better than a city school.
You mean to tell me that the "Lil' Chillen" didn't walk thru gang territory before?
This "Safe Passage" is going to matter just how?
Scores of cops won't be able to walk their own kids to school and ensure them "safe passage" because their hours will be changed so that the dregs of Englewood and Lawndale can sleep off last nights drunk/high.
Ironic.
Fucking sad, but Ironic!
Keep voting for democrats, you dumbasses.
It's more of Rahm's nanny state B.S. The government feeds them, gives them healthcare, and daycare. Walks them to school and walks them home. Who needs real parents when you got Big Daddy Rahm? Don't be surprised if after the success of Operation SAFE PASSAGE Rahm starts Operation ASS WIPE-AGE. Where mom calls the 911 on her Obama phone so the Police can come over and change baby's shitty diaper
When Rahm talks about Safe Passage I think about that cartoon from the 60's, Clutch Cargo with his sidekicks Spinner and Paddlefoot. If you are younger than about 60 you might not remember these. The animation was very rugged, heads went up and down and real human mouths on the faces moved but that was it. And it was a hit. Kids liked it. The hero and sidekicks were sent around the world on dangerous missions. Like getting kids to school in Chicago. Ah the good old days, when they had to go around the world to find a dangerous mission.
I'd be damn if I worked for the city and they told me that I have to go down to Englewood or the west side unarmed -- to potentially become a martyr for the mayors ego.
They could take their job and shove it. Not what I signed up for and I don't care if everyone else is doing it or not.
Good luck ppl.
Oh yeah? All hands on deck eh? I don't see no NATO Jersey barriers. No seven foot security fences either.
Will the mounted patrols be there? It's a rhetorical question.
It's not an all hands on deck. It's propaganda.
What's a city office employee gonna do against a gang banger with a gun? Do they have some sort of endowed super power to stop bullets? This is not your old west-side story musical.
This so sad its funny...emmanuel is laughing in everyones face who actually eats his bullshit
You neglected your kids for generations....now they have turned into predatory animals raised by the streets.
And you have the nerve to whine about safety for children walking to school as if these same animals just appeared out of nowhere.

Yes, but in Chi-raq they should be Parapactum umbrellas. The best of the umbrellas of Cherbourg, France are made of Kevlar and weigh about 5 lbs. and cost around $17,000.
They are used by many celebrity and government body guards worldwide. I wouldn't be surprised if the cops who drove Rahm's kids to school had them.
Stay Safe. Parapactum is Latin "for peace" as Parabellum (ammunition) is "for war".
For the first time in his adult life, Rahm Emanuel feels...
Fear.
Very Real Fear that everything he has tried to put in place will come undone in spite of diverting copious resources to give the illusion that he is fully in charge and far smarter than everybody else.
Rahm is afraid that people will see through him in spite of the veil of fuckery he has cast over this city.
Rahm honestly thinks Dude is going to play along with his charade...
Hey Rahm...
Are you getting that feeling that perhaps you walked into the door picking needless fights with Teachers, Firemen and Policemen when your battle was really with the Catered To Constituency?
Heh... Easier to pick a fight with people who have a code of conduct and rules to abide by...
Dude has no such compelling reason... Which is why you're so afraid!
The Armed Wing of said constituency which is the main ingredient in the cloud of death, destruction and willfull ignorance hanging over this city?
We won't touch on the fully metastasized culture of political, corporate and media corruption and incompetence.
Heh...
Sleep well Rahm.
OT
I've. Been listening to the eminent doomsday scenario regarding the calapse of the US currency and the the chaos of our society . Has there been any in service training regarding the rioting/looting that is to follow?
Seems to me that it would have been easier and cheaper to bus these kids? Have pick up, every morning at the old school, bus them to the new school. Drop them off every afternoon at the old school. Then whomever was responsible for them before can still be responsible for them.

Rahm's Triple Whammy
While we are being ripped-off with school closings resulting in being ripped-off with Safe Passage, another one of Rahm's schemes goes into place today that is the mother of all rip-offs: the Rahm speed camera money-grab.
Consider being screwed three times by this mayor.
::::: 'Emanuel has declared it an “all-hands-on-deck” scenario in which every adult in Chicago — especially city workers — should lend a hand.' :::::
“all-hands-on-deck ... every adult in Chicago." WTF...over?
This isn't the USSR you tutu-wearing raccoon-eyed freak where it's 'everybody's job'. So how about the little Honor Student's parent act like a parent for once in their sorry ass life and walk their own spawn to school.
Did you ever think of saying that to 'the community', huh 9.5, maybe just one time? Or saying to these parents who are whining, that these gang-bangers they're so afraid of are their own children! So they can shut the hell up until they control their own 'kids'.
C'mon Rahm, your pretty good at telling regular tax paying citizens to fuck off, so how about saying that to the gibs-me-dat crowd.
Watching this Safe Passage event unfold on WGN-TV this morning, you would think that the kids are going to be walking through some jungle of tigers and wolves.
If Chicago streets are THAT bad, pull out some guns and shotguns and sweep the streets clean.
This is total NONSENSE.
This shows that Rahm is totally clueless as a leader and McCarthy is NOT the right choice to lead the police. They have more or less deputized garbagemen, streets & san people, and firemen to do the jobs of the police.
Bring back the CPD of 1968. They knew how to clear a passage.
Are African Americans the only ones going to school today?
When I think of Rahm's Safe Passage I think of the 1950's kid's air raid drill "Duck and Cover".
We crouched under our school desks or in the halls and watched filmstrips with Burt the Turtle, the Red Menace and home fallout shelters.
Only we were worried about Soviet H-Bombs not errant ghetto gunfire.
My favorite movies about that era are Failsafe, and Dr. Strangelove.
I suppose we had it better and we stayed in school and no one ever went to the hospital and died because The Bomb came.
Stay Safe. Did you ever see a radio from that era, maybe in an old car, and see two little triangles on the AM dial. Does the name Conelrad mean anything?

People like her should be fucking ostracized at work and worse. I have no idea why my colleagues at work even look at her in the eyes. Let alone speak to her. Fuck her.
why the hell do we have schools anyway? educators pushing all manner of fu'kn electronic gadgetry like tablets/computers and rastus still will never learn.the city is covered by three digital public television stations.
cheaper to keep the little darlings at home and deliver b'fest and lunch to the doorstep.
safe passage is so pathetic. they made their beds now sleep in it.
will the speed cameras that are so well hidden catch hot lead in flight?
Wonder if rahms kids are on a bullshit safe passage route?oh no silly me they are driven everywhere by armed Chicago police in new gas eating suburban/ Tahoes! What happens after 2 weeks? Do the animals and savages not bother the kids? Rahm/McCarthy talk about disasters!
I assume you are talking about that icky girl from Louisiana. She beat that shoplifting charge?
Scores of cops won't be able to walk their own kids to school and ensure them "safe passage" because their hours will be changed so that the dregs of Englewood and Lawndale can sleep off last nights drunk/high.
Ironic.
You all knew that your private lives would take a back seat to this job. Somethings are more important. Maybe you shouldn't have had kids, that way you could spend more time caring for the citizens of Chicago.
"Hush now Reverend"...
How's that Dream you spoke of 50 years ago?
Lets see Rahm and Garry walking the front line waving the white flag of surrender.
Just curious, what kind of background checks were done on the various city workers getting shuffled into this debacle? I'm guessing none
I got an idea that would protect the kids -- the locals could refrain from shooting.
Radical idea, I know, but sometimes you need them to solve these problems.

Even if it works today, what about three months from now, when the hype has passed. What about all the other variables involved such as mixing kids from different neighborhoods and alliances? So many things can go wrong by next June. Wonder how they plan to cover it all up? We all know it won't be Emanuel's fault!

Ironic.
Fucking sad, but Ironic!
But for the other city workers and CPS workers working the safe passage routes , tv said last night they would be given 2 hours off to walk their children to school. Can u believe that
I've. Been listening to the eminent doomsday scenario regarding the calapse of the US currency and the the chaos of our society . Has there been any in service training regarding the rioting/looting that is to follow?
Yes, point weapon, empty magazine, reload, and repeat!
How about the parent!
This is Classic Democrat Party perception over substance. After the two weeks are over; then what? Just like VRI, what do you intend to do after the money dries up? Generations of ignorant "Breeders" are not going to be intimidated for two weeks and then modify their behavior. THANK GOD WE CAN COUNT ON THEIR VOTES!
MEDIA ALERT:
Watch for some "feel good" stories from the Mayor's propaganda office, I mean, the local mainstream media later today, regarding how everyone was safe going to school today thanks to the mayor's plan.
Let's move on.
I don't know about most other schools, but at the school I work at about 90% are DRIVEN to and from school.
When does operation "responsible parenting" start?
Yes, I have not heard of a concerted effort by the city to get the parents involved in this. If they are not working, and sober, they should walk their kids to school and pick them up. Allo the teachers union is concerned about is raising taxes so they can get more pay and benefits. They are campaigning in Springfield for a graduated income tax and a income tax on pensions and social security There are about a dozen states that do tax pensions and SS. It drive the retirees out of the state
they are our front lines? ha, from what, hmm? so all these unarmed individuals/city employees are supposed to protect children from gun fire how? oh rahm you are dumber and dumber every minute. safe passage my ass. this is a desperate attempt to solve an enormous problem. this is like putting a band aid over a shotgun wound.

Considering what the CPS costs and all the waste and graft riddled in the system, these kids should be picked up individually at home by limousine and taken to school in style and luxury. What the 'guvment fo', anyway?
i have seen those safe passage worker and i believed i have locked almost half of them how long will it be before they come work smoking weed and drunk .also how come there are no safe paasge workers for edison park,
Closing 47 school's is how Rahm got the money to pay for that new construction at O'hare Airport.
Of course it's for Walsh & Ozinga....I. mean the children.
We are paying people to patrol these so called Safe Passage routes. Why not make it a requirement of receiving Welfare checks? No patrolling, no checks. But that would make to much sense and is, of course, like everything else RACIST!!!!
still waiting for ''operation personal responsibility''.
safe FUBAR here in 011...lol
To 0:4:22....you got a beef, tell it to her face. At least cast your stones in her face; not on a keypad at 4am: otherwise you are not any better than her and a SPINELESS,BITCHY LOSER....not exactly sergeant material. Were you hoping IAD took her down?
Image becomes reality. One only needs to hoodwink the mainstream media
Just wondering?
Is "Johnson School of 'Excellence'", in North Lawndale, anywhere near the "Our Lady of the Westside Johnson" located on S. Albany.
I have a terrific idea! It's called Operation Do Your Homework! You see each officer is assigned to about 12,000 kids and everyday that officer has to go to their assigned children and make sure that each child does their homework. While the officer is there they can also handle that babies momma/daddy domestic that they will be called for anyway. If that child fails any class that officer, due to the officers failure, will give the child $75 (this is called paying for your sins, maybe you heard of it). So, we will pay for our sins, in cash, and that should solve our problem! Please feel free to improve upon my idea as team work makes the dream work!
By calling these " safe passage routes" the mayor has opened himself up to years of crime news with reporters referring to how close the incident was to a safe passage route.
Breaking news:
Body found in dumpster block away from a Safe Passage route.
I'm so glad I don't live in Chicago anymore. Its surprising how much safer I am in Central America than Chicago. If any of you had any sense you'd be down here buying property and getting set up for retirement.

Get the moron to brag on tape. See how long the stroke lasts.
Safe Passage was mentioned on the national CBS morning program.
So tired of catering to the same crowd of lazy do nothings from the craddle to the grave. If they can take their link card and escalades to 7-11 for big gulps and slurpees....let them get up and get their kids to school like those of us who work....Not only do you want to raise my taxes, fuck with my pension, give teachers less to work with, but now I'm suppose to walk the assholes to school too??I'm sure some Rev will have excuses all ready for them......

I would extend that to the Medical Roll abusers too. All these scandalous bastards on the job and they are treated like any other copper while they ruin our Medical. They are not. They are thieves and decent coppers should treat them as such.
We have become too forgiving in this Country. Bad people should be treated badly. If there is no penalty, that behavior will continue. Fuck forgiveness. Be angry. Stop sitting back and taking it.
OMG...where were we going with the helicopter? This reminded me os a scene from the Blue's Brothers! Getting the marine unit involved would have made the circus complete!
Im glad I had the opportunity to work safe passage today,so that all the children could go to and from school in a safe environment. I cant wait to passage 2 when I will have the opportunity to go to their home and do their homework,and clean their shit infested apartment.

" Community partnership"= I want more money
If this absolutely ridiculous waste of Taxpayers Dollars doesn't inspire a legitimate candidate to run against scumbag Emanuel nothing will. Here's an idea all the city agency's assigned to this nonsense collectively say NO.
We need to make the Safe Paasage Farce into Rahms downfall. Why won't anyone stand up to this pansy ass?
AND THE MAYOR WENT WEE-WEE-WEE ALL THE WAY HOME....
MILLION DOLLAR MAYOR REPRESENTING CHICAGO CORPORATE INTEREST FLEES TO SAFETY, AWAY FROM SAFE PASSAGE PATHS, LEAVING CHILDREN TO FEND FOR THEMSELVES!
Almost like a page out of the J-fled handbook only worse. It only took a handful of taxpayers armed with a bull horn for the mayor to cut and run...the little coward.

Mayor cancels walk with students after confronted by protesters
Mayor Rahm Emanuel was scheduled to lead a group of children from Cather Elementary School on the West Side to a nearby community center for after-school programs after classes let out this afternoon.
But after protesters from the grassroots group Action Now turned up at Cather with a bullhorn and pamphlets, urging a boycott of Chicago Public Schools, Emanuel abruptly dropped that plan, got back in his SUV and left.
Action Now member Windy Pearson said the group thinks the Safe Passage plan is inadequate, given the violence that occurs in many Chicago neighborhoods at all hours of the day. "We have people dying in our communities in Safe Passage zones," Pearson said.
The mayor headed instead to nearby UIC College Prep High School, where he watched a geography class for a few minutes, then shook hands with students and teachers when the school day ended.
Afterward, Emanuel made a brief statement to reporters, hewing to his frequent themes of the importance of a longer school day and the improving graduation rates for CPS high school students.
The mayor did not respond when asked why he cancelled the short walk with Cather students.

We would wager that it's a good thing the school zone speed trap camera's were not installed there yet as they would of likely caught a speeding SUV leaving the scene at school hours when children were present.
"units in 12 and on the city wide.
we have a group of 10 to 15 people one of them armed with a bullhorn on 2908 W Washington Blvd. Caller states they are saying bad things to man in a white shirt and tie, male five foot nine, thin build, running towards a dark colored SUV. The SUV fled west on Washington at a high rate of speed turning north on 31st St..."
.../sarcasm
Whelp one thing for sure.
If the mayor didn't order streets and sans to do a major clean up for his photo op that dead body found a block away from the safe passage way zone stuffed inside a garbage can would be stinking up the place for four, five days as the temps soar into the 90's
It seems we are missing the big picture here. Listen to the parents on TV. They are saying "this is a good start". They will now expect this type of treatment every day. Just wait. We'll start cutting back, but when someone gets shot, and you know they will, the screaming will begins.

well, it's just another performance in the Democratic party liberal circus.....pull up a chair, it doesn't get any better than this.....the Rhamfather makes Barry look good (is that possible?, and by the way, who really voted for this guy?) and....the use of city services, ALL of the city agencies, police, fire, streets and san, transportation, forestry, hundreds of civilians hired, etc., etc., to manage "safe passage", is a testament to City Hall's political depravity.....

F.O.P. A FAMILY MEMBERS
SEVERAL OF OUR OWN NEEDS HELP!!

•Cousin of PO (191)
•Great Niece of a (Ret.)PO
Alexandra’s Ambition was established by family and friends of the Family to financially assist their daughter Alexandra to receive the necessary medical and rehab treatments to overcome her rare disorder.
On October 1, 2012, Alexandra was born with Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita (AMC). AMC is a rare condition resulting in multiple joint contractures and muscle weakness. What this means for Alex is that she was born with a hyper-extended right leg with her foot next to her head and a left leg fixed in a bent position with a broken femur bone and clubbed foot, arms locked at her sides with wrists bent and fingertips touching her inner forearms. Alex also has a small jaw affected by contractures making it difficult for her to swallow. Alex is at risk for respiratory compromise related to her weakened muscle tone and the inability to produce a strong cough. Within 24 hours of her birth, Alex’s arms and legs were splinted and/or casted and she remains in casts/splints 24 hours a day. At 10 days old, she underwent her first of many surgeries to come. Currently, she suffers from severe muscle weakness and lacks the ability to fully move her arms and legs.
With all that Alex has endured in her short life her family is reminded daily of how very blessed they are to have her. Her parents were told several times during the pregnancy that Alexandra would not survive past birth. Five days after she was born, they were told that the prognosis was poor and to consider their options and make a decision regarding Alexandra’s “end of life” care. They did not give up then and we are not about to give up now. Alexandra has proven to be a true fighter and it is our desire to fight right alongside her.
It is the hope of Alexandra’s Ambition that with these medical treatments Alexandra will one day know what it feels like to walk. Alex’s determination to prove the doctors wrong and our will to help her accomplish this is what brings us to you today. You can help Alexandra by donating your time and/or resources. Please contact us.

Is it true that the ballerino pulled a J-Fled? What happened, were there shots fired nearby or something?
MLK III stated "However, sadly, the tears of Trayvon Martin's mother and father remind us that, far too frequently, the color of one's skin remains a license to profile, to arrest and to even murder with no regard for the content of one's character,"
The implication is that Martin was profiled and killed because he was black.
No, Mr. MLK III. Martin was a suspicious person because of his actions (that would qualify as the content of one's character would it not?) .... and he was killed, not because of his race, but because he physically attacked Zimmerman (character again) , putting him in fear of death or great bodily harm.
Is MLK III that stupid? Or is he simply a liar?
But the coward media plays the clips like a re-hash of the magical moments of the 1960's Civil Rights Era. The grandiose adjective like "historic" strew about like flower petals, as race-hustlers spout their lies.
Ah .... magic.
If you can't translate this whole clown-show into "it's all America's fault" ... then you ain't paying attention.
The Civil Rights Era is over. How about we begin the era of Children living within an intact family now? 72% of black babies are born to unwed mothers. 72%? Wow The article refers to this as a 'struggle.' Is it really? Can it fairly be called a struggle to keep your penis out of the vagina of a female you have absolutley no intention of marrying? You want to reduce poverty? Keep the family intact. In 1965, that numer was 24 Did slavery rear its ugly head sometime between 1965 and now, causing psychological devastation to this community?
You cannot discuss the homicide rate amongst black youth in Chicago without discussing the fatherlessness issue. (HINT: Most homicides in Chicago are committed by black males, as are robberies and criminal sexual assaults. Yet somehow, blacks are overrepresented in prison per capita- nonsense. They are underrepresented.)
Blacks are actually given a bump up thanks the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1965. That's right, there's legislation that works to discriminate against whites based on the color of their skin. (It's not de jure, but it is de facto discrimination But ... wink, wink ... the whites do deserve it don't they?
All this in direct contradistinction to what MLK asked for - to be judged not on the color of one's skin.
Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. called Americans cowards for their fear of discussing race. But the politically-correct media (and our sick culture in general) has set-up strict boundaries as to what can, and cannot, be discussed. So the discussion becomes anemic does it not?
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Pub.L. 88–352, 78 Stat. 241, enacted July 2, 1964) is a landmark piece of civil rights legislation in the United States[1] that outlawed major forms of discrimination against racial, ethnic, national and religious minorities, and women
"Outlawed" major forms of discrimination? I beg to differ. It shifted the discrimination.
In an attempt to comply with the Civil Rights Act of 1964 the New Haven, Ct. fire department attempted to throw out the results of a test for promotion to captain. Whites did too well, and not enough blacks were on the list.
Not a wimper about the unfairness in the media. Imagine if the results were thrown out because not enough whites did well? Wow ... you'd probably hear about it from MLK III at the Civil RIghts march on Washington 50 years removed. But the discrimation is no longer aimed at blacks, it is aimed at whites (actually Asians get it far worse than whites. Way to reward the producers America!) . Al Sharpton is yawing as I type. He does not hate discrimination. He hates discrimination aimed at blacks. Yet the speakers give lip service as to how we are 'one nation .... black, white, and brown.' Yet I am not feeling it. This is more of a black tribalism celebration is it not? Am I wrong to feel this way?
Rant over.
IF YOU COULD STILL SEE TODAYS NEWS.
Barbara Bird Bennet doesn't know how to ring a SCHOOL BELL. Even after an 8 year old rang the bell for her.
She moved her hand, not the bell, then she turned bell upside down and tried again. After that she looked inside the bell as if there was something wrong with the clapper.
this morning bright and early i woke up jumped on my bike for my moring bicycle ride in edison park as a headed west bound on talcott from harlem i notice no safe passage workers or police guarding the great kids of im maculate conception catholic school can some one explained why the schools in edison park do not get safe passge protection.
Has every currently open school been renamed "of Excellence"? I almost spit out my coffee as I pulled up to the school after I got a sitter for my toddler so I can handle my new work hours and new family. Excellence at what exactly? I'm soooo confused........

I've. Been listening to the eminent doomsday scenario regarding the calapse of the US currency and the the chaos of our society . Has there been any in service training regarding the rioting/looting that is to follow?

As in how to do the rioting and looting...that IST is scheduled for first quarter 2014.
democratic economics
pay firemen ,$40 per hour
streets & San $35 per hour
neighborhood parents $12 per hour
to watch kids walk to school
as a tax payer makes no sense
sounds like city workers and firemen should all be part time employees for the city if city can pay them to watch kids walk to school . Bet you could hire firemen , emt and paramedics for 8 hour shifts at $16 to $23 per hour ,also bet there would be 10,000 applicants applying for the opportunity to serve citizens of chicago

It's more of Rahm's nanny state B.S. The government feeds them, gives them healthcare, and daycare. Walks them to school and walks them home. Who needs real parents when you got Big Daddy Rahm? Don't be surprised if after the success of Operation SAFE PASSAGE Rahm starts Operation ASS WIPE-AGE. Where mom calls the 911 on her Obama phone so the Police can come over and change baby's shitty diaper

People like her should be fucking ostracized at work and worse. I have no idea why my colleagues at work even look at her in the eyes. Let alone speak to her. Fuck her.

I would extend that to the Medical Roll abusers too. All these scandalous bastards on the job and they are treated like any other copper while they ruin our Medical. They are not. They are thieves and decent coppers should treat them as such.
We have become too forgiving in this Country. Bad people should be treated badly. If there is no penalty, that behavior will continue. Fuck forgiveness. Be angry. Stop sitting back and taking it.
8/26/2013 03:25:00 PM
We should all be grateful that we have an awesome medical and IOD benefit. There are departments in our country that don't even have IOD. If you get injured you only get a portion of your salary! So next time be grateful for the benefits we have and do our best to protect those benefits.
The pph-41 was one badass submachine gun used by the russians on the eastern front. Just saying...lol
What route did Jessie jackass have?
I would like safe passage for my dog. He's a shelter dog and didn't have the best upbringing. Sometimes when we walk, then mean beagles bark and frighten him. How can I expect him to behave at home when he is constantly worried about those beagles? Mayor Rahm, please send me all your city resources so my poor little doggie and I can have "safe passage" while he poops on other peoples lawns.If you don't, then everyone will know you hate puppies.
To 0:4:22....you got a beef, tell it to her face. At least cast your stones in her face; not on a keypad at 4am: otherwise you are not any better than her and a SPINELESS,BITCHY LOSER....not exactly sergeant material. Were you hoping IAD took her down?
apparently you did not get that email about how stuff was mysteriously disappearing right after she got to the area det div.
she has a problem. she is a thief. and should not be the police...
> "hold parasols over the children so they don't get sunburned"
LOL'ed.
Literally.
SCC, that might be the single most hilarious thing that I have ever seen you write.
I'm still chuckling, man.
That is some funny, funny shiznat.
Phil Rogers at Ch 5 had a story about Chicagos lack of a plan for a large scale emergency. Contact him and invite him to see the inside of a squad car with 130,000 miles no computer,brakes and bald tires with no air. Have him see the daily sheets and explain each officers daily role. Show him the Tact office with 3 secretaries doing the job 1 Tact Sgt used to do. Show him the processing room where 3 out of 4 computers have been broken for over a year and you can't input case reports. Show him the drunks on the bike unit that stumble in at 1130 if at all and go right to a hillybilly bar to drink until they leave at 3. Ready for Columbine,yeah right. We are the most Pathetic department in the country.

Which one of the fools that she played over and over for preferential treatment might you be? Did you get to play "Pincushion" with her? Or go home with nothing more than a smile and a bat of the eyelashes for procuring her a new Dodge Charger. And yes, I do wish IAD "took her down" (you watch too many police shows douchebag). She is another overly entitled black eye on this department. Pathetic, actually. And you're just as bad going to bat for her, chump.
How is it that my wife and I, who both have full time jobs, have enough time to walk our children to school and these unemployed, government cheese collectors need all hands on deck to ensure a safe passage for their children.
Labor bd just ruled against fop and said shields should have sent the letter. Thanks to Shields, his attorney Geiger, and Geiger's boy Doherty, we are out any retro we would have received among other things.
Labor board just ruled against FOP and said Mike shields should have sent the letter to inform the city by March 1, 2012 he intended to file a notice of termination of the union’s deal with the city. As a result, it automatically was renewed, taking our retro pay and everything that goes along with it off the table.
Hopefully Rahm won't be able sleep a wink for the next two weeks and suffer from the knee-knocking terror-shits over the possibility of "Safe Passage" blowing the fuck up in his face.
Hey Rahm... NO HIDING BEHIND THE MUNICIPAL CORPORATION SHIELD FOR YOU IF DUDE DOES THE FOOL AND HURTS A CHILD OR "VOLUNTEER."
Your ass and your assets SHOULD be fair game if a civilian you pressed into a law enforcement capacity gets hurt.
Hmmm... Does anyone know if Rahm's swift, slicker than shit through a Garfield Park goose lawyers made these "volunteers" sign papers releasing the city from any liability?
Rahm's weekly progress report to the North Shore and Gold Coast cocktail party and fundraiser elites who are lined up dick-to-asshole to bust pensions so they can carve up this city, has probably been looking like shit as of late...
Funny... These rotten self-important m/fers with things to do, places to go and people to see have been crawling all over the op-ed section of their agit-prop broadsheet and recycled bowel rag of a newspaper (scum-times) howling and shitting about *Public employee pensions gotta go, or else!* for the last couple of weeks...
Heh... No pension = no crime scene/forensic accounting with prejudice possibly leading to a lengthy list of political and corporate Mr. Bigs going to the federal shit-house = "Whadda you Cops talking about? No one "stole" anything from your pension... You'll just have to feel the pain just like everybody else."
Uh-Uh... Our sore, tired and half-dead asses paid in more pain going eye to eye with these Demons on the streets of this city than Rahmie, Brucie, Larry, and Ty can ever imagine.
You assholes MUST be on a REAL tight schedule, eh?

I so agree with you. We are a pathetic and ghetto police dept. From our squad cars to our training to our leadership. Our union sold us out. We have no one but each other.
I wonder how I survived growing up in the 50's!!!
NO air conditioning or fans on Hot days---NO free school clothes, book bags, school supplies etc.---NO new sidewalks to walk on so we wouldn't fall and scrape our knees---I feel sorry for these kids---a bunch of entitled wimps raised by adults who don't know what it is to be a parent!!!
This "Safe Passage" BS is going to last about 3 weeks then its all back to normal...more smoke & mirrors from our media savy Mayor. He's praying the weather gets colder - well Mr Mayor, it's not & I hope you've prepared yourself for what's coming. I'd hate to be the first district to have a child shot on one of these routes bc they are toast.
If The Labor Board ruled that our contract for this past year was a continuation of our old contract - shouldn't we be entitled to the 2% raise guaranteed by our old contract??? 2% for a fuck up at the FOP is still 2%!!!!

That piece was about Chicago's readiness as a whole for a large-scale emergency. We're not the only city department that will be called upon when it hits the fan.

Dont think so, just wishful thinking That why they have retro checks with the new raises. Most contracts are end loaded with the highest raises so why settle on a new contract if you are still getting the raises
