All bullshit aside. Mike is having a really hard time and I believe he is in a total state of denial. He feels everyone has not backed him and just left him hanging. I always gave Mike the benefit of doubt but no longer after this shit show will I do that. He really is screwed. I have no idea how he can show his face in his first roll call.
I think he will land well but just know he is attempting to set the city up to mess with him so he can sue or say he is a whistleblower. He has some crazy idea in his head. I would never want to work with him thats for sure. Heard
Today he was mother fucking everyone there At the hall. At least he can work with his brother because no one wants to work with him either.

Look ya fucking baby, your as retarded as rick king and Bill burns, so I've been retired for the last 15 years have paid every penny to the Fop I owe for my membership and now you want to allow retirees who have been retired and not paid their back dues up to date???

The Board addressed this issue like a year ago pay what you owe and you can come back in, and if not stop stirring shit up and whining.

There is something wrong with him - he has been suspended and told not to go to the Lodge. It reminds me of our domestic calls with dude just can't letting it go with baby girl. This is the second time the police were called to the Lodge, the next time someone needs to go to jail. When we are called back to a location repeatedly, someone eventually goes to jail - this needs to happen here.

Shields talk about the fraud and conspiracy with the department. Well if he goes to any north side district, them there might be some truth to it and he is involved. When MSF and TRU were disbanded, we were sent south, regardless of where you lived. Some officers came from north side districts and the Department or the Union different care. Shields go anywhere else and you are a coward - lead by example.

When you see the press conference and Dan Gorman and Jim McCarthy are there calling for Shields resignation, there leaves no doubt about the lack of Shields' abilities or that he needs to be psyched. Dan and Mike were the two closest at FOP - closest allies, and Jin and Mike grew up together. Mike has a serious problem and he needs to get help.
Also ask either of them about Shields second city cop policy and how the same person must continually post in different message to beat a point. Other than his brother, no one not even his closest friends trust him now.

All of this is not going to end well. Each and every side in this is not going to stop. What we are watching is a form of mutually assured destruction. Before this is all over, every bit of malfeasance , real or perceived will be aired out by all sides. This is being done not for the benefit of the membership, but for the power, the pay and the goodies the executive board receives. Shields, Dougherty, et. al. only care about retaining what they have, they don't care about you.

If he was there to just clean out his office then they are a bunch of low class POS. But if he was there to try to running the office he should have been asked to leave.

Many of us are pissed at Mike over the letter issue but we are more pissed off at those in the know who let this happen. Even more of us believe that the last three contracts were back room deals.

There are no heros in this Greek tragedy. I do not trust the guys running the hall now to protect my health care anc cola in Springfield. I just want to see if my two dickless dickhead dic friends sell me out to get a small retro check that will not cover one year of my losses if dickhead Donahue fucks up Springfield this session like he did the last year he was down here.

The first thing Dougherty said is that Harold Brown will never get back in FOP. How appropriate the first thing he wants to do is continue to fuck this retiree.

Again, I've been saying this for years. STOP paying dues to a fraternity of good old boys who take their families to a posh Wisconsin resort and call it a conference. We paid $1,000 a head. Yet none of the Board members took responsibility in sending the ltter for retro checks. Now we have a golf committee chair speaking for the FOP. WTF is wrong with you people? End the dues and get the teamsters in. Enough getting screwed over, don't ya think?

I think that the entire current crew of assholes on the FOP should relinquish their six figure salaries that come from our dues and return it to the membership. They screwed all of us by being incompetent and corrupt. Their political posturing cost all of us.

Remind me why they need to be paid more than the patrolmen that they are in order to represent patrolmen? Let's use that money where it will benefit us more. I think some editorials and advertising to make up for this clown show they've given is a good start.

First, why hold a press conference airing our internal issues? Poorly played.

Secondly, they should of all had a sit down and if nothing resolved then proceeded behind closed doors and then inform membership only!!!

Third, Facts only count and if you have them use them wisely.

I've been on 20 yrs and don't recall any contract ever NOT going to arbitration. It's a financial win for the city. They don't have to pay interest till the contract is settled. The union has always done very little. Yes, this is Chicago it is the, " Chicago Way " to have a self interest first and foremost.

So I am wondering about something. Let's (for a moment) give Mike the benefit of the doubt. Let's say he has some smoking gun that will prove the corruption that he alleges. Said smoking gun would have been revealed to the IG in Mike's letter. So why aren't the accused suspended from their positions as well? I would hope that there would be some sort of procedure in place when such hefty accusations are made to ensure that the people involved couldn't continue to do more damage. Sort of like call back. Now I am no supporter of Mike Shields. I think he's bat shit crazy and should have been removed after he failed to send the retro letter and lied about it. But there aren't too many people that doubt that some form of corruption was going on with past contract negotiations, so why aren't steps being taken to get rid of those people too?

Actually, ask the 3rd watch desk guy who does nothing but study for the test. Shields can do no wrong to him, as long as he gets his hours at GI. To busy filling out his grievance forms to even answer the phone an help out us fellow desk officers. Look at his activity and tell me the last time he did a report. How can you be on the desk for years and never complete a report? Pathetic.

I sure hope Saul's nickel and diming of the FOP stops now! He's known to submit expense reports for $.25, he should be ashamed of himself.

Did Mike turn in his two Lincolns? I think the FOP should auction off the one with the alabaster leather, that's a $3200.00 option and rare like the Chrysler Landau roof package. It will bring in some big bids!

When they began issuing a new RD number sequence they were supposed to address the problem with repeating RD's and difficulty in finding reports.

The best idea seemed to be a combination of an event or crime code together with a unique number, never to be repeated. A glance would tell you if it was a burglary report or a curfew and what date it occurred.

The unimaginative low forehead knuckle-dragging bosses changed it to dual letters followed, once again, by six numbers and also an event numbers.

Where one identifier could have been used for everything, they went to another fucked up system that required two identifiers.

what a total shame to all officers. I feel like our suspended President has totally brought discredit to our union and department as a whole. He personally only cares about himself and his personal agenda and there is no argument to my point. He really cares only about him and he is a man so blinded by reality that he has completely insulted every current and retired officer. If he does have any proof he should not of handled it this way. I am certain and would be willing to bet all my saving he has no proof but if he did this was not the way. I hope in the future that FOP stays out of the news for a long time.
Mr. Shields, you have brought total shame and discredit to your name. Your true self has finally been exposed to everyone. I have known you a long time and seen these streaks in you personally as have many past and former friends. Now the whole city see's it. I am so angry and frustrated with your actions and the damage you have caused. It is going to take some time to heal as a Union due to your own destructive actions. In the future open your ears and just listen instead of talking. I really hope you take care of yourself right now but I truly think your mind is so out of touch that your nuts. You really F---ed us over hard.

Question...

In my union, if you are suspended pending an investigation, not only are you not allowed back in the lodge until summoned; you're not allowed back to your union peon job until the investigation is over.

If I'm getting this right, the State FOP board suspended Mikes union status completely to temp remove him from office. As such, if I'm getting this right; he isn't allowed to hold a position that is to be filled by a union employee per the CBA.

Am I correct?

While the rest of patrol is out working....the bitches in the FOP are making a mockery out of the Chicago Police. Obviously the FOP board is trolling SCC and True News blogs to bad mouth Shields. Shields never had the backing of the old guard. Who the hell was this snot nose punk Shields who would dare to be FOP president. This city is corrupt, and it sounds like the FOP has been corrupted. I say ask the FBI to investigate Shields' allegations. Unions have had a history of being corrupt..either mob influence or political corrupt influence. Our union is no different. Shields said what most of us think and he has not stood still for the lies told by Daley, Rahm, McCarthy, and the complicit Chicago media. These corrupt bastards have to be laughing today at the implosion going on at the FOP. Shields has had backstabbing opposition within the FOP board before he even started. Like someone else said earlier...they held a coup. We will continue to have our union dues squandered on supporting lying Democrats and all the trips, conferences, and golf outings, etc...that our fat cat FOP board members attend.

He is suspended from the FOP and cannot be a watch rep or anything else. If he is expelled from the order after his hearing, (very probable) then he can never again be a rep or hold or run for elective union office and loses all privileges, salary etc. of being Past President.

He is banished to middle earth with the rest of us. And he may produce the smoking gun of evidence and it turns out to be all sale coupons on laundry detergent, boxes of pasta and hand soap.

Look below and read Dan Shields' response, we know Mike and Dan are hitting the blog hard. He fails to explain why Mike Shields is not send to a south district like past practice of the Department when moving officers out of a unit. He rips officers that were assigned to MSF and TRU (most TRU officers have more time than both Mike and Dan Shields), The fact is that Mike would not of had enough time to bid into 018, 001, 020, 016 - none of the north side districts with all the openings now. Mike is a coward, never the police (nor was Dan). I love that everyone can pull up arrest numbers and check all their bullshit. MSF or TRU officers should never vote for MIke. He does not lead by example. A coward!

Shields talk about the fraud and conspiracy with the department. Well if he goes to any north side district, them there might be some truth to it and he is involved. When MSF and TRU were disbanded, we were sent south, regardless of where you lived. Some officers came from north side districts and the Department or the Union different care. Shields go anywhere else and you are a coward - lead by example.

Hey kid, MSF and TRU never did shit but yell on the radio and take two hour lunches. You need to get some time on the job and bid out like everyone else. For the record ten years is not time on the job Officer.

Suspending Shields at the meeting was pure grandstanding by Street and Graham who wants to be your next president.

Shields allegations sound like a desperate man who had already been asked by former allies to not run. We all know in Chicago it's not out of the realm of possibility but where is the evidence.

Shields won a close election with very few of his ticket members getting in. Did the old guard sabotage him or did he do it to himself? We still have no answer as to why the letter which led to his down fall was never sent.

With the election imminent it is going to be hard to identify candidates that are not just in it for themselves.All current board members seem to have that stain on them.

I think MS could actually be thrown out of the union for going to the papers. Remember that’s why Sean and Wayne were kicked out.

Also I don’t know if he can run for FOP President at this time because you must be in good standing with the FOP. I don’t think he is in good standing being suspended from the FOP.

Can he now talk to any media about the city and FOP, I think not. Look at the GO’s. If he does since this mess concerns the city and he is not saying anything nice about the city I wonder if could be fired from the Department?

The police did not look good on this, we are a national laughing stock, the butt of jokes, we are in total disarray, even Mary Mitchell sees Rahm licking his chops ready to throw a huge defeat at the Chicago police.

They are all laughing at us. This is sickening, shameful. And it is our own union leadership that did this to us. We could not have done worse if the Latin Kings, MS13 and Gangster Disciples all wupped our asses on the street.

It is absolutely humiliating to hear Mary Mitchell and Charles Thomas get their shots in and chuckle while they did it. And they were both right.

So now what? Fold up the tent and bend over? This is a disgrace. What the fuck now? We have degenerated to an organization of finger pointers while Rahm and City Attorney's plan how they will administer the death blow.

Notice all that Rahn has not uttered a peep. We will be hearing from him at the appropriate time. Be prepared for the fucking of a lifetime.

These guys are not sellouts they have realized the truth and have finally said enough is enough and I cannot tell you how many times they have tried to stand up and defend Mike. Yes they have voted in his behalf many times out of loyalty but suddenly realized how embarrassing this has turned.

They have been loyal to the membership by doing their jobs, yes sometimes you feel you owe things to old friends but sorry Mike trying to defend you has become 24 hour job and you have asked just a bit to much.

You have guys like Burns, King, Underwood D. Shields, Trevino, that will defend you forever you might call them loyal we call them misinformed and disloyal to the membership. Best of luck when you appear at the State Board for your hearing. You can bring some of your loyal members.

Don't forget that you not only lost a year of retroactive pay increase, but since you didn't get it, it's not part of your salary for each and every year thereafter. You'll always be getting over a thousand dollars LESS each year for the remainder of your career. And if you retire maxed out, you lose 75% of that amount in every year you are still alive after you retire.

Right. Real negotiating. Teamsters would demand, Rahm would say no, contract goes to an arbitrator. That would be some real negotiating all right. Any hot shot labor organization can argue to a stalemate and then file for arbitration. FOP has been doing it for many years.

We might as well pick the one who charges us the least dues. We are going to hire some lawyer to argue the arbitration anyway.

But for next union president and all future presidents, we need a thorough Psyche exam. We want someone who is a little nuts but has stabilized, with meds or without. No foaming at the mouth, no wild accusations without proof. How about someone like Al Pacino in Scent of a Woman? "If I were the man I was five years ago, I'd take a flame-thrower to this place!"

You won't find anything in state or national fop by laws that allows Street to do what he did whether you like it or not.

Sounds like Street endured his spot through Donahue and Donahue got he wanted from Street. Troopers ain't to happy. They have a guy running against Street. This will not be good at any level. Bunch of hacks.

WTTW, Chicago Tonight Week in Review, Charles Thomas, Maryt Mitchell, Frank Main and Lester Munsen. 12/20/2013

The police did not look good on this, we are a national laughing stock, the butt of jokes, we are in total disarray, even Mary Mitchell sees Rahm licking his chops ready to throw a huge defeat at the Chicago police.

They are all laughing at us. This is sickening, shameful. And it is our own union leadership that did this to us. We could not have done worse if the Latin Kings, MS13 and Gangster Disciples all wupped our asses on the street.

It is absolutely humiliating to hear Mary Mitchell and Charles Thomas get their shots in and chuckle while they did it. And they were both right.

So now what? Fold up the tent and bend over? This is a disgrace. What the fuck now? We have degenerated to an organization of finger pointers while Rahm and City Attorney's plan how they will administer the death blow.

Notice all that Rahn has not uttered a peep. We will be hearing from him at the appropriate time. Be prepared for the fucking of a lifetime.

12/20/2013 08:54:00 PM

I agree with everything you said except the part about Rahm licking his chops. I doubt rahm thinks about our fucked up silly FOP much at all. In fact, I doubt he thinks about police officers and the job we do ever. Our city has proven time and time again that they could care less about us. very sad.

Dougherty's hate for Harold Brown is well documented and started years before the email caper.

He forced him from the gift store and a couple of years later he challenged to "step outside" from the microphone at a general meeting. Billy is too impulsive to be president.

Your elected members should get paid their regular salary, and everything they do for the Lodge should be on their own time. The huge salaries are corrupting your leaders, and makes them susceptible to be being influenced by the Daley's and Rahm's of the world. You do it for the good of the lodge and its members, not your own personal gain.

Exactly. Shields was never a detective. He was barely a cop on a beat car in a slow district. He doesn't know how to put a case together. He hasn't leaned those advanced concepts like evidence, jurisdiction, the law.

The retiree committee does not run the board of directors and the board of directors would need to vote on your amnesty decision and approve it by a 2/3rds vote as it reverses a previous board decision. Just don't get this though. Someone makes Sgt but continues to pay their $50 per year to remain a fraternal member and after 10 years they have contributed $500. No comes along the retired Sgt, Lt or Captain who has been out of our ranks for 20 years and would have paid $1000 to remain a fraternal member but you are going to let them back into the FOP for $40. That's fair especially to the people who have been paying faithfully all along. Let's just reward everyone here illegally with citizenship to the United States, that's not a slap in the face to everyone who struggled and fought to attain citizenship legally, right.

The in- fighting, back stabbing and all around bullshit needs to stop. I believe the elected members of the FOP have forgotten the reason they are there. Its not to line their pockets withe side-room deals or making nice with members of anyone in the mayoral staff, IT IS TO ENSURE THAT THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THE CHICAGO POLICE DEPARTMENT WILL GET A FAIR CONTRACT AND MAINTAIN A QUICK AND PROMPT GRIEVANCE PROCESS. The past few years the FOP has not only forgotten this they out right ignored it. If FOP lodge 7 cannot get its act together we need to petition the national lodge to take over and right the ship. I will admit, I have never been to a FOP meeting, but I really should not need to go because these elected officials are there to ensure the right things are being done for the active and retired members of the lodge, apparently they have not!!

The city will go out of it's way to make you look good now. But what will the cost be? Loss of pension benefits and/or our cola?

No matter what happens it could look to an outsider that you are ALL in bed with the city. Unless their is not retro and we get screwed on Springfield. Then you will ALL look just inept.

You take 100% of the bullshit out there and believe it as the gospel truth. Get involved in your union and find out the real truth. Your hope and change candidate Shields took a page from the Rahm/ Obama playbook and just like the 2 assholes has no interest in obeying the constitution, just makes up the rules as he goes. Now his bullshit has finally caught up with him and you too because his hope and change cost everyone of us real money.

Most of these board members voted in lock step with Shields totally ignoring our constitution, by-laws, oath of office and the rules governing the board of directors. Its not too hard to find out who they are and who voted consistently against their illegal actions that culminated with the suspension of their lawless leader and a boat load of charges being brought against him by the State Lodge and the board of directors.

Well junior if you are paying attention the Park District just gave up a lot of retiree benefits in their contract. Retiree's don't get to vote in their elections.

If it was only to the kids with hair on their heads they would take a 2% retro for the 1st year of the contract and take the Sgt's 1st offer or the Park District's.

6 years w/o a cola is 18% vs 2%. that's on top of the CityWide's fuckup in the last contract that cost us 6.1%, Now we're up to 24% plus the cola's after that will be half of CPI or a max of 1.5%. If you live 10 years you are talking about a 25% or better reduction in income.

If you trust the guys who have been upstairs at the union hall for 12 years your naïve. You will get a retro but pay for it 10 times over. That why the retirees don't trust the CityWide guys and it has absolutely nothing with Shields as he was never going to be re-elected anyway. Now we are down to three major tickets. Which one do you trust not to sellout to Rahm? Retirees will never be pawns.

We wanted to give back the gold braid pensions to get a compounded cola. The citywide team never pushed it because as much as they said the Nolan team was in bed with the city they got into the same bed before the sheets ever got cold. Donahue would never talk about contract talks at meetings because he said we will never negotiate in the public. The membership was always kept in the dark for his 9 years. He was in bed with the city before Hurley. Think of who was the real power in the 19th ward 15 years ago. Donahue was a sellout as State President. Remember that when you vote.

Thank You Kevin Graham for comments.

If the think you came off as anything other than a jerk at the last meeting you're are not being realistic. You looked like a kid that was bullied his whole life and now is the bully. You and Tracey Qualles embarrassed Bill.

PS To those who never paid attention This is how the mob ruled 12 years ago when Donahue attacked Bill Nolan and his guys. For his 9 years in office they ruled with an iron hand. If you questioned them on a issue you just got thrown out of the union. Donahue/Bella have cost us well in excess of 1 million dollars in legal bills and law suits during his tenure.

Billy you will never be your own man if Donahue never leaves the Board. You will always be considered a puppet. You got to cut Moriarty loose.
