Drying Out

No, not that kind of drying out.

Well, maybe a little.

And the, "Damn it was wet at Soldier Field"-type, too.

Open post for the moment and a slow day of posting.

Things that make you go hmmmmm.

Preliminary environmental testing of the new school property found eight underground gasoline storage tanks, one known to be leaking, and unsafe levels of the chemical benzene in the soil

Some also questioned the motives behind the purchase. CPS bought a portion of the parcel from a relative of Ed Vrdolyak, aka "Fast Eddie,"

Open post, cool!

Q. If you swear to uphold the constitution as part of your job and the the President suspends the constitution...then what?

We get to do anything we want because the constitution has been suspended?

Since we are under this so-called state of emergency with a declaration of war on terror since 2001 the constitution is basically been suspended.

We have no right to speedy trial

No right to see the evidence and face our accuser.

No habeas corpus.

No right to privacy.

No free speech

No freedom to assembly.

None of it is guaranteed not even the right to bear arms! Politicians are picking and choosing who the laws apply to -- who gets constitutional rights and who doesn't..and it you're not on the right list sad day for you!

Congress is working on a bill to decide who is a journalist and who it not so that they can go after bloggers and deny journalist their right to protect their informants for example.

This last 9/11 there was a 2 million biker memorial ride to DC, many combat vets riding to honor the fallen in NYC. Wash DC denied their permit.

I mean the lists go on and on..

So what is being upheld -- not the constitution. Some will of a tyrant is being upheld perhaps because the constitution has been suspended. All they have to say is that you are a suspected terrorist and it's game over.

Yep USA! USA! USA!

This is what we fought for????

Paid mercenaries.

That's it. They sign the check so we do as we're told. Gotta eat right?

Civilian here.
That rain we had yesterday was probably from the remnants of the storm that devastated Estes Park, Lyons, and Longmount in Colorado. Keep those folks - including some former police colleagues - in your thoughts and prayers as they pick up the pieces of their lives.

Take the salary of a 10yr PO at D-1(78,000). 1% of that is $780.00.Because Mikey and his crew not only did not send the contract letter on time or to the correct person (they sent it to O'Neill instead of the Mayor)the contract rolled over until June 30 2013.You will not get any retro for July - Dec 2012.Say that would be a 2% increase. 2% of the ten year salary would be $1560.The FOP has still not gotten an economic offer from the City, so they have a long way to go.Say they let the City drag this out until the end of 2013. Because Mikey stuck his nose into the Sergeants contract which was none of FOP's business the Mayor says there will be no retro for 2013. Say the white shirts and fire fighters get a 2% raise for 2013. That will be another %1560 FOP will not see.That is $3120 you will never see. You will not see any retro on your OT or VRI pay.Add those dollars to the loss column. This arrogant punk kid and his do nothing Board of Trustees and incompetant lawyers have cost you serious money.Have you had enough yet ?

Does the Chicago Park District really need the measly revenues that college and high school games bring on Saturdays that precede a Sunday NFL game?
Sod does not regenerate a solid root system in a day or even after 2 weeks.
The Bears and the NFL should have first run of that field during its season, or move on to build domed stadium...
outside the city limits.
Rosemont?

You my friend are correct. I'm a Sgt and I have to tell you that you guys are getting fucked. Why the hell would you blue shirts let Shields fuck you like that. Get rid of his ass. He's making Captain's pay and you guys are getting screwed. Why are you scared of a three year wonder? Are you serious. Act like the Real Police and get rid of his ass.

Everything is FOR THE CHILDREN as long as it involves generating or saving money. If it involves SPENDING money, not so much.

Another dipshit who can't let go.

If you're thinking of voting to fuck the rest of us out of a beneficial contract over the entire length of the contract just because you didn't get your fucking 3K today, think again.

Get over it. You lost it, and we aren't about to fuck ourselves over and give anything financial back in order to get that little fucking check. And being a dumbfuck by giving up long term benefits to get a pissant little check today so you can go buy yourself a fucking TV makes you a retard.

Don't be a retard.

***************

A. You aren't paid to uphold the constitution, you're paid to enforce Illinois state law and Chicago municipal code, regardless of whether or not they violate the constitution.

It's why we get sued.

Four months after announcing his desire to be the governor of the state of Illinois, William Daley has dropped his quest to compete in the democratic primary. He said things are too messed up and he is not qualified to fix them. Does this mean there is nothing left to steal?

---- 9/16/2013 12:58:00 AM Since we are under this so-called state of emergency with a declaration of war on terror since 2001 the constitution is basically been suspended. ----

Huh? No offense, but what are you talking about?
-- a) There isn't any "state of emergency" now or since 9-11-01 happened.
If there was then FEMA and/or the U.S. DOJ (depending on date) would be running the country as the US Congress would be suspended, and Martial Law would have been declared with federalized Troops in the streets.
-- b) There isn't and hasn't been a "declaration of war". Not 'on terror' or anything.
Congress is the only body in our government that can 'declare war', and congress hasn't done that since 1941 when it Declared War on Japan then subsequently Germany and its allies, like Italy.
What Congress did do in 2001 was pass a 'Resolution' giving Bush the power and authority to respond militarily to the terrorists hiding in Afghanistan and 'other places'. Not having a true Declaration of War is why things got so fucked and still are fucked up with 'the war'.
-- d) The constitution certainly is not "basically suspended".
If it was there'd be Martial Law, there isn't, see 'a'.
-- e) "The War on Terror" -- is bullshit, it's a politically correct meaningless phrase. Terror is a tactic, you don't fight wars against a tactic, or tactics. The only War we have is against Jihadist Islamic Radicals, but saying that might hurt someone's feelings.
(declaring a 'war on terror' would like declaring a 'war on Blitzkrieg', it's shear nonsense, always was)

So lighten up & keep that pocket copy of the US Constitution handy and read it every now and then, it's pretty good reading :-)

And, why do you care? Mind your own business sarge. Instead of bothering yourself about our business, you should be out looking for all the money stolen by your past-president once removed and getting rid of your own traitorous current president, No Ade.

It looks like 26/Cal I preparing to put in pay for parking booths. Look like the idiot Preckwinkle is trying to get money out of those who are doing there civic duty. Wonder if S/A's, clerks or workers at 26/Cal will have to pay for parking or will they get a pass with a sticker. Let's wait and see.

You'll bitch if a sergeant shows no interest in your plight. You'll bitch if a sergeant takes an interest in your plight. You take a swipe at someone just for the sake of swiping at 'em. You're a miserable human being, aren't you?

Oh, and don't worry your little head about the past issues at the sergeants union. Not your problem.
We're multitaskers. We can worry about our own problems and still have a little concern left over for you.
