Here We Go Again
From the comments:
- Today a Lt. CO of News Affairs giving a presentation said "Goal is to get rid of the blog. I think its detrimental". What are we supposed to read then?
Must be taking cues from the "Barb West School of Illegal First Amendment Investigations."
Chicago is broke, but they're paying a lieutenant and their minions to take out a blog that would be replaced by how many others in short order?

What is the name of the CPD Lt. that heads News Affairs?
Dave is so far up the Supe's ass it isn't even funny. Merit puke.
Detrimental to those who do not want the light of day to shine on their corrupt ways. Stay tight SCC
Rotflmao
Figure that out LT. Better yet how many box one arrest do you have in your career? Please say more than 9, then maybe you can take over GED.
Gang wars in the south, drug wars in the west, better eliminate that damn blog!
" I think its detrimental". So since he THINKS, that makes it real? Me thinks he got job by sucking bosses peepees.
Barb west is the same person as Maria Pena. They closely resemble their district majority and both will do anything and everything to further their careers, at the expense of everyone involved. Those that are dumb enough to kiss the rings will eventually find out why selling their souls isn't a great idea. Capts,Lts, and Sgts will never be treated the same after these bosses leave. If you don't stick up for your troops now we will never believe you later. Just some food for thought
The (propaganda) message is all important. The powers must control the message. There must not be an alternative message. The blog must be taken out.
This blog defines Liberty. This blog is equivalent to the town crier in the year 300.
Without the blog, the corruption becomes even grander.
America
So if a boss ever asks you if you read the blog you should say no. If you say yes you will be labeled a blog reader, a troublemaker, and detrimental and they will f$%k with you.
How the hell is a blog more important then chicago street violence...pay fucken attention to your neighborhoods or wherever you work or your damm department morals, the blog is like the tabloids you dont like it, you don't have to read it. Its simple freedom of speech and information.
Someone doesn't want the truth being told as to what goes on with this Dept. I think the best is the mayor detail. Running red lights and speed cameras. And all the violations are Dismissed. MAYOR LITTLEMAN all the money you have you cant pay your share of violations. If it was us doing the same thing you would want every penny and discipline.THATS WHY HE DOESNT WANT THIS SITE UP AND RUNNING.HE DOESNT WANT THE TRUTH SAID ABOUT HOW HE IS A BUM AND HIS CRONIES SMILING NEXT TO HIM LIKE ITS FUNNY. THAT HE IS NAUGHTY.I cant wait to retire 28 yrs on the job and counting.
.... Now go away, News Affairs, or I shall taunt you a second time!!...
Sir Donkey, Esq
Let's see now...
Rahm is in full attack mode to stifle free speech and dissent?
Both newspapers have curtailed the lively, hot and fresh online commentary (because Rahms internet agents provocateurs couldn't stay ahead of the honest and very angry public commentary on what a piss-poor job he's doing... They were also losing traction on their spin of "everything would be ok if we blew up public employee pensions." People were calling bullshit... A lot!) along with political columns and hot editorial topics and hid them behind fire walls known as "Digital Plus" and "Early And Often."
Stifle dissent.
Control the message.
Change the commonly accepted meanings of
words, terms and phrases into something clear as mud
and unrecognizeable to the common sense man.
Employ of funny math to intentionally keep the common sense man in the dark as to how deep and wide the financial and political bullshit really is in Chicago. Just remember this... Rahm has the real numbers = plausible constants. He rubs them against as many bullshit variables he can. This action yields a bullshit product designed to mislead the public.
SCC is the ONLY SOURCE of credible information about the critical condition of this city and the ONLY source beyond the corrosive and wholly corrupt influence of city hall and CPD HQ.
Why is it so important for these people to fixate on "shutting down the blog?"
Are they fearful that the Policeman's anger is contagious and will incite the public to open and possibly even armed rebellion against the democratic masters who have been slow walking upright people backwards into poverty, uncertainty and insecurity?
"You cops need to stop thinking so much of yourselves. We pay your salary and we expect you to act like humble public servants and take that blog down! You guys are interfering with OUR vision for this great city. Your traditions and ideals mean nothing so sit down and shut up!
Punish Them!
Goofs
I have a message for them since we know they're reading.
Go fuck yourselves, you un-American pieces of shit. How dare you ignore the very first Ammendment!
There. I feel better.
The truth will find a way.
Their efforts are the acts of desperate men attempting to conceal the breadth and depth of their corruption.
Reminds me of Princess Leia telling Lord Vader off in Star Wars... The tighter you squeeze, the more slip through your fingers...
Haven't these morons heard of the Streisand effect? Best thing they can do for themselves is leave you to your own devices...
Best thing for you? Try to shut you down -= watch the hits spike... and more blogs branch off...
Hang in there SCC!! Blogs are the printing presses of the 21st Century!
Meanwhile, McCan'tbuymelove was hanging with the elite of the city at the Palmer House sipping on expensive red wine with Ald. Burke and his anorexic wife at a benefit for the Merit School of Music.
Can you say, 'Priorities' boys and girls?
Now sing along, "It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood"...
Same could be said about gerry mCgOOfy + Lil' ramie's go-kart gang of stooges. News flash to city hall 'KEEP YOUR FKn HANDS OFF THE BILL OF RIGHTS'. 9.5 please stop whistling 'SPRINGTIME FOR HITLER' as you destroy a once great city.

Take down this blog now!! It wrecking my career!!

Wouldn't it be great if the ACLU stepped in and sued Rhamfather for violating officers 1st Amendment rights?
Very Orwellian. Thought police are at work on behalf of the Party.
God forbid you report the truth and facts. If so you become a target. What a waste of manpower and $$$$$. It's disturbing that they are wasting tax payer $$$$ thinking about this. Hey media, you listening?
Here's something before the blog fades to black:
Here's a link to Taft High School security guard Hugo Feria's Facebook page. You'll see he has some real character and morality issues in downloading and posting disgusting sexually explicit videos for everyone to see, including Taft students. This guy definitely shouldn't be around students of any age, especially being a security guard in a school. He took one video down of a woman standing on a baday and urinating into a toilet.
https://www.facebook.com/hugo.feria.7
One photo was posted via mobile on Friday, September 16, 2011. Was Feria posting this disgusting video on CPS time?
FYI: Feria, Taft Assistant Principal Susan Gross, and two other Taft security personnel (one off-duty Chicago cop and one on duty Chicago cop) were responsible for the illegal strip search of a male, Special Education student (Anthony Woodman) last school year based on an anonymous tip given to Feria. The court document link is below and you can find more information on the strip search by Googling it.
Feria's page will show he's in violation of CPS social media policy. Also, besides his religious posts, you'll find a photo(s) and posts of Feria bragging about his accomplishment of drinking two bottles of tequila and other alcohol related photos. Is this the type of person CPS and Taft wants working for them? And, what were his qualifications for being hired as a CPS security guard?
http://dockets.justia.com/docket/illinois/ilndce/1:2012cv09695/277334/
Feria is a real creep. He's always saying awkward things to the girls, smelling like alcohol, and real overbearing loudmouth to Taft staffers. I sent the information I found about Feria to the attorney of Michelle and Anthony Woodman, some members of the media, and Taft's administration. I doubt anyone will do anything because Feria has some connections at Taft and to the old HDO.
Star wars and streisand reference in one post. A real he-man. Sissy

15 wounded in shootings Thursday night
5:50 a.m. CDT, May 9, 2014
"At least 15 people were wounded in shootings across Chicago Thursday afternoon and Friday morning, according to authorities.
"Eight of the fourteen people shot were wounded in the city's Calumet police district on the Far South Side though people were shot as far north as Touhy Avenue - a distance of 30 miles between the northern- and southern-most shootings Thursday afternoon and Friday morning..."
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-chicago-shootings-20140508,0,13938.story
yeah, they tried that with www.everyblock.com in 2012 when we were all talking about the shootings in our trendy wicker parkish hoods....
but look what happened....
its back, go see for yourselves.....
OT---way back in the late 80's my uncle (a CPD sgt.) took me to an annual wild game dinner that I was organized and attended by the ranks of CPD....
what a great time, door prizes, a huge buffet of different wild game, even a mystery meat.
do you gentlemen still have this so called event? my uncle worked mostly out of Belmont and Western station back then, maybe it was a local area thing.
"Today a Lt. CO of News Affairs stepped carefully around a pool of blood and brains, ducked a flying bottle, ignored the shrieks and curses of the whole block and said "Goal is to get rid of the blog."

So shut down the Channel 7 I-Team.
Not only do I read this blog I read it on department computers. Come and get me suckers
Why do we even need News Affairs? Hiding place for the useless?
What blog?
There ain't no blog boss, you must be mistaken.
I don't know about anyone else but it love when the boss' and propaganda affairs demand a phone call ASAP from the crime scene.
Hey boss, no department cell phone, I'll call you when I get to the station.
Hey Lt. have you ever tried to shut down or bring a case of Freedom of Speech to court, good luck HaHaHaha.
Anyone who would even think about stifling the most basic of American principles- the freedom of speech- should be ashamed of themselves. How can they look at themselves in the mirror? Quit this dept and join the Nazi SS if that's how you feel and that is what you want. Throw your brothers under the bus and might as well throw a few more in the concentration camps while you are at it.
This country has a worsening problem with politicians and "in charge" hacks silencing, harassing and preventing the rights of people they do not like or see as a threat to their power and message.
Don't worry about the shootings, unsafe neighborhoods, declining businesses and people moving out but lets focus on a blog. Shameful!
between this blog and the "reader" with jarovsky.
i see pulitzer :)
Whatever happened to Lt. MB that used to head News Affairs?
I can tell you as someone who knows for a fact, every exempt in 35th street reads this blog daily and they discuss the topics amongst themselves and their inner circle, laughing, joking and busting balls.
Gohmert Questions Whether Comcast Is Blocking TheBlaze TV From Acquiring Network Until After Midterm Elections
May. 8, 2014 6:22pm Becket Adams
TheBlaze TV “has been trying to purchase [a] network that was reported to owe $20 million to Comcast,” Gohmert said, referring to RL-TV, a network that is owned in part by Comcast.
“But that the feeling by some within Comcast was so strong about keeping Glenn Beck off the air, that some reportedly were willing to forgo $20 million that TheBlaze offered to pay off this network’s debt owed to Comcast just to keep them off the air,” he added.
http://www.theblaze.com
We cannot have people printing or discriminating their opinions that might not agree with the official line. Nor, can we have people saying whatever they like, whenever they like without official approval. The message must be controlled and pre-approved. Minds and opinions must be molded to official dogma. Otherwise society cannot me controlled.
what anal worthless prick did they put in charge of this bunch of hard chargers at news affairs--- let me guess, desk bunny his whole career and doesn't know how to use handcuffs or arrest anyone....
That Lt. Is a double merit - so do not take too much of what he says because he is too dumb to pass a test.
The Party knows what is best for all. There must be party unity. There can be no descent and alternative views must be stifled. It is the democratic way.
FUCK BABS WEST SHE'S STUPID AND USELESS HER WHOLE CAREER!! yeah the blog is more important than crime, if you cant handle the truth and or have sensative feelings just stay the fuck off the blog....simple
hey barbie stay off the blog
fuck you bosses you all can kiss my big ass!!! bunch of cry babies! great bosses dont cry
Comrade officers. Do your duty. Ignore these unofficial blogs. Only the official truth can set you free.
Toughen up your defenses and keep writing the truth, guys! SCC is one of the few vehicles we down-stater civilians have for getting the real story on Chiraq.
Gantt Chart
Just south of I-80, in a place called Illinois...
Tell you what, why don't they get rid of News Affairs and simply admit the blog does a better job.
Sure, the truth is detrimental, esp when no one else besides Joravsky reports it. Take it as a compliment. I think you deserve the Pulitzer, fwiw.
The recent photos of the P.O. beating off is an example of how you cannot control the Net! If SCC were taken out the blogs that would follow would be totally out of control. At least SCC is edited by reasonable coppers. And any effort to stop SCC would be a major mistake.
Now, see. I'm not so sour about the Mayor running red-lights. He atleast has a PO driving him which has SOME experience hopefully in dealing with that.
Plus, dismissed fees means not paid from taxpayers wallet.
SCC, keep up your good work. It keeps those of us who think about becoming CPD after our (or my) career as an MP.
Although there are some other departments that are much attractive around, some of their people on hiring lists are political favoree's at the top as well.
Keep it real, SCC. The violence shown here reminds myself, my other comrades who have to commute through the city why I tell them to take their 8 hours and get their CCL.
Reminds me of Princess Leia telling Lord Vader off in Star Wars... The tighter you squeeze, the more slip through your fingers...

Star Wars? Streisand? WTF?
If this blog didn't have value, it wouldn't last five days. No one would read it. Obviously not the case. What makes a news affairs sissy's opinion so important?
Sounds like the Lt went to the Joseph Goebel's School of Communication.
What part of Freedom of Speech does this jagoff not understand?
Maybe if things weren't so fucked up in the first place, there would be no need for an SCC. Why doesn't prick-face try going to work on those problems?
Without the Blog very few will know the truth about the City and it's police department. Rahm wants total control just like two other dictators in history Mussolini and Hitler. All three are small men in stature as well as mentally.
Go fuck yourselves, you un-American pieces of shit. How dare you ignore the very first Ammendment!
There. I feel better.
5/09/2014 02:08:00 AM
Someone should remind the powers that be, that the First Amendment,
Does not apply to SCC and the San Diego Clippers Owner !
That's right stupid force the blog underground and you will really start a subterranean movement too rid the city of evil democratic rulers who are truly destroying Chicago.
If you shut down the blog where will the news media get their research materials?
I, am going to start a blog regarding Judges and the States Attorneys office..Hope to get a link from SCC.
No police bashing !
Simply,fucked up verdicts and State Attorneys.

So at least four people were shot while he was getting his drink on while simultaneously sucking up to Burke? At least he can multi task.
Shouldn't the LT from news affairs ask the DSS Sgt what to do. That's how the rest of the fucked up Department works. City pays LT's to sit behind a desk and do nothing while the Desk Sgt runs everything
Just A Citizen says: I thought we were allowed freedom of speech? Then agin I thought we had the right to bear arm. Why are these assholes so terrified of the truth? The city is gone cuz the liberals allowed the savages to take over and they are worried about your blog?
Anyone notice a pattern with liberals and their reaction to the cold hard facts??
Just think, for a second, about how pathetic this guy is. He's paid (with taxpayer dollars) to manage media relations for one of the largest police departments in the country. So how does he spend his time? Worrying about a blog that does a better PR job than his own department. Does he actually believe his own bullshit? Is he content being a mouthpiece for ideas that he doesn't agree with? Has he never pondered why this blog is so well read?
Fuck 'em.
Just part of rahms union busting
the truth hurts..lying corrupt shitcago
They need to mind their own business,run the police department and stop worrying about what we say and think!

Mayor Emanuel joins group urging Hillary Clinton presidency
10:11 a.m. CDT, May 9, 2014
"Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, a former White House aide to Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, on Friday joined the Ready For Hillary group that is urging former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to run for president in 2016.
"Emanuel, who also served in the U.S. House of Representatives, will headline two fundraisers for the group in June...
"I've seen firsthand how Hillary has inspired women and men, and girls and boys, here in America and across the globe, and I know that as president, she would continue to move our country forward..."
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chi-rahm-emanuel-hillary-clinton--20140509,0,1626974.story
"Forward" -- over the cliff.
"9.5 please stop whistling 'SPRINGTIME FOR HITLER' as you destroy a once great city."
5/09/2014 03:58:00 AM
"It's springtime, for murder
"The pistols are popping again..."
keep on keepin on, SCC. fuck the bolshevik spin machine. nobody is buying this jagoffs bullshit and he knows. notice how nervous and snarky he is at press events. the pressure is getting to him. he can feel the collective finger rising up to stick in his face. dont let up guys. the citizenery has your back.
The blog and Fox News. If we get rid of them we will truly live in liberal utopia. Don't mind those stacking bodies over there.
Idiots!
A perfect example of how this blog does good things for coppers is the post from yesterday about the new red light camera's being able to pan 360 degrees. That's info that coppers should know. I didn't.
A perfect example of how the blog does bad things for coppers is the post about the sgt's list. People come on here an anonymously dog out other coppers by using their "initials," but everyone knows who they're talking about. Most of that shit is just some dude with an old grudge against another copper and he uses this as his platform to spew hatred.
I would love to see this blog do away with the anonymous personal attacks. It would really make this so much better.
My 2cents.
Why wouldn't they ignore the 1st Amendment? Hell, they were forced to recognize 2nd Amendment only by order of a Federal court. Not to get into the irony of the fact that police department that is complaining about having their 1A rights violated had heen the enforcement arm of that OTHER infringement...
P.S. I support the hell out of you SCC, I'm just sayin....
If SCC goes down, I'll step up as a civilian if it'll help piss off useless CPD officers.
Food for thought:
After looking at Billy Dougherty’s parting shot at SCC in his last news letter article I can see him putting a request to work at news affairs.
Would Rich Aguilar and Jim Moriarty be the first to start a new Blog if SCC was not running?
Maybe a fee based site to support the City-Wide Hockey team?
Would DiMaria deliver the secret passwords in pizza boxes from Little Caesar’s on the North side and Sid on the South side?
Angelo and his crew may want let a lot of stuff go because they got elected but the rest of us are not going to go away. SCC may be our only voice
Is that Lt a leftie? Its the lefties that want to control the message, the messenger and the delivery system.
"Goal is to get rid of the blog. I think its detrimental"
---
Not to worry, soon the average recruit/CPS student will not be able to read or write. That will take care of the blog.
Didn't Stalin and Hitler and communist China and other totalitarian governments control what the populace read or wrote? In China today that Lieutenant would find a valued place within the ranks of the thought police. They do not get the same internet we get. The blog would never have been allowed in communist China or North Korea or may other countries run by small minded dictators.
So listen up Lieutenant Fuckwad, I am an American citizen, I am from the United States of Kiss My Ass! You teensy tiny intellect jagoff. I have freedom here in this country, even in Chicago.
The right to criticize my government has been won by the spilling of blood and no miserable clout prick like you will ever take those rights away from me.
So Lt., remember Mr Charlton Heston, "From my cold dead hands?"
Same thing with the First Amendment: "Over my dead body!"
Retired copper with 30 yrs on CPD. Good effort SCC but most of coppers or play coppers or civilians who post "comments" are hiding behind a keyboard. NO Way they would ever come forward and say what they type. Much less confront a supv face to face. I had a problem with 3 supv in my career and we met and discussed things in pklot at end of tour. Adjudicated. Need I say more? Never hid behind a keyboard like way too many of these pussy play cops do today.
I have a message for them since we know they're reading.
Go fuck yourselves, you un-American pieces of shit. How dare you ignore the very first Ammendment!
There. I feel better.

They say profanity is the only way a small mind can express itself, but I think this gentleman was actually trying to convey his complex and truly American feelings so that they would be clearly understood by the small-minded minions and cowering ass-kissers in the ranks of CPD leadership.
Well-said.
Next case.
CPD = run by Conmunists (Democrats)
When u elect commies to run a city, this is part of what you get.
The "Agenda" of the "Regime". Is to stifle Free Speach, so as to not let the truth about their incompetence and failure come to Light.
To the mayor, the superintendent and other command ranks please consider this blog the sunshine disinfecting your dirt. The sworn members and more importantly the taxpaying public get an introspection of the bureaucracy doing business as CPD. Given the absolute manipulation of the media and a prepared storyline for public consumption, alternative sources of information give the general public a window into the failures and the successes of this taxpayer funded organization. Many educated, enlightened individuals speaking their mind providing a counter message to the company line. By the way, many officers have offered constructive criticism, meaningful suggestions and alternative strategies to command staff only to get shot down by the brass reminding their subordinates of their rank, their importance and their handing down discipline should they challenge the status quo. SCC you are the sunshine and the voice of the front line hands on officers, not some ranking empty holster in the 35th Street sanctuary
Sounds like News Affairs is working right out of Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals".
Don't worry about the blog unless you have something to hide. There are so many blogs out there, if you don't know this than you should not be in the position you are in.
What is this dept hiding? Why would you want to silence those speaking their minds in a free country exercising their constitutional rights? Must be some truth in what is posted causing top ranking stooges to quiver ultimately seeking the abolition of SCC. Hey 35th Street Ivory tower types and silly hall ruling class commissars, if you are doing the right thing there is no need to be constantly looking over your shoulder fearing about getting caught or caught up. Or reading about it on the blog.
You see, what these petty dictators-in-waiting don't understand is that free speech can never be silenced.
Look no further than Communist China & North Korea, two of the most repressive regimes in the world, not counting Rahm's, who have absolute control over the media.
People still get caught with "illegal" PC's, radio's, printed material, cameras etc. under pain of long incarceration in labor camps but still take the risks to hear the TRUTH. So do we SCC, carry on!
It simply about control. Whistleblowers are protected. So is free speech. Control the storyline and you control the uninformed masses. Dissent must be silenced at any cost. Money, power and control are what these downtown clowns live for.
If you had a six figure salary with an accompanying lifetime six figure pension, you too would march in lockstep with the company line and be a loyal follower. Money and promotions translate into enlightenment for many unit commanding officers. Its no accident who gets promoted and why. Its no accident that they espouse and hold very similar thoughts of political figureheads. Some will sell their souls, abandon their values and tow the company line for the love of money, power and control. Its about themselves and their personal wealth preservation and cushy position of immense power. This is not to be confused with the department mission of providing support to the crime fighting officer on the beat putting their lives on the line each and every day. Or some ambiguous, nebulous foreign notion of combating crime.
Sad day that freedom of speech gets shit on by political hack juice babies.
Sheriff dart had his entire staff of lawyers and investigators from opr attack and shut down two blogs about the sheriff dept. Not only did they find a legal way to shut them down they harassed the staff and employees who run those blogs. Went after there jobs and everything. That's not right. Destroy someone's life because your embarrassed of the photos posted of you and your minions and dishing out all the bogus shit they do on the regular.
Start a paper like the Reader.

Excellent post.
Fucking spot on!
If you cant cut thru the crap in life, you're not going to get very far because there's a lot of crap in life.
You make the best of difficulties and carry on.
The major news papers have said they are suspending comments because of what they deem to be adolecent or unworthy dialouge.
Who the fuck do they think they are?
For years I have made it my business to read every comment to articles I have found interesting. I've read thru posts consisting of 90% crap to find those posts that were insightful and thought provolking.
No pain no gain.
I don't need the Trib or Sun-Times censoring for me.
I will NEVER pay a red cent for a Trib or Times paper.
You notice a lot of comments can only be posted via a Facebook account? WTF is that??
If comments are only allowed via registration, there ought to be a minimum of three alternate social media ways to post.
Where are the "fairness in media" fucks on that??
The left is doing there best to stifle free speech.
That News Affairs LT ought to be sent to the worst shift in the worst district and put on the street.
Then he would know the meaning of "Detriment."
What a sack licker.

In OCD now.
Freedom. Of. Speech.
The first amendment doesn't apply to the blog. Have you guys ever actually read the constitution? It applies to the government, not your employer. You cannot be put in jail for writing a blog, but you can be fired.
When does Chicago Magazine hit the news stands?
Part 2 about fudging crime stats, no? For June?
"TRUTH DOES NOT FEAR INVESTIGATION"
--Unknown--
I would actually put my name on these posts. I mean, SCC or his moderators do a good job at screening the questionable stuff I say, but I still stand behind it.
Either way, if the PAO is a butthurt keyboard cop who has hurt feelings over a blog, then odds are she'd be worthless as tits on a nun out on the street. No big loss.
I am SPARTACUS
I am SCC
Maureen Biggane left..Lt Harris formerly of the 006th District, is there now

The government should fear the people not people fear the government. Police may work for the city and are not placed into servitude suspending the U.S. Constitution at the whims of the politically approved and appointed brass. This isn’t a right or left issue, this is a guaranteed right afford to the citizens by the 1st Amendment defended by the blood and sacrifice of U.S. Servicemen and Servicewomen. How about this disgraced lieutenant starts a blog refuting what is said here and in other forums.
Just another chickenshit boss whom you’ll never see at a hot call or getting involved in some sort of criminal enforcement action on the street. Most likely merit all the way. Maybe the lieutenant should devote time participating in some hands on solutions to this blood in the streets murder epidemic and takeover by street gangs. And that goes for all those who attended this meeting. You want to get paid like police, so strap on your strap on and lets get to work putting those like-new never used cuffs on the bad guys. Remember lieutenant, you swore an oath to uphold and protect Constitutional Rights of all citizens not suppress freedoms as a henchman of a certain political party in charge of everything.
Why is a Dept of News Affairs even nesessary? Can't a deputy sober up and talk to the Media for their $100k salaries ?
"...Today a Lt. CO of News Affairs giving a presentation said "Goal is to get rid of the blog. I think its detrimental". ..."
That Lt. from New Affairs should remember one very important fact of life...
try to destroy a right, something we hold dear...
...two (or is it 10,000) can play at that game.
I doubt that Garry will take you with him when he finally gets tossed (soon we pray) and just how will you post, "I got the CPD into a losing First Amendment rights law suite." on your resume.

==============================
What if your an adult and don't do facebook??
50 aldermen debating plastic bags. Crime really must be down?
This blog is one of my first reads of the day - truthful, unapologetic, and often hilarious.
Retired copper with 30 yrs on CPD. NO Way they would ever come forward and say what they type. Much less confront a supv face to face. I had a problem with 3 supv in my career and we met and discussed things in pklot at end of tour. Adjudicated. Need I say more? Never hid behind a keyboard like way too many of these pussy play cops do today
------------------------------
I have as much time on as you did and am so sick of this pussy play cops today. They have it harder than we ever did for a variety of reasons but particularly video. Go to 4,5,6,7 etc. and meet these pussies who have been in 1 or 2 gunfights with less than 5 years on the job. Open a newspaper and see us getting it from both sides at all times, a public that hates us an administration that loathes us and a union in disarray. Do you think the WW2 vets were happy to work with the guys who served in Nam? Who smoked dope and wore short hair wigs for roll call. Do you think the WW2 guys thought they were pussies? These pussy police have served multiple tours in combat so take your good old days and we were the real police bullshit and move along because there is nothing for you here. And guess what you typed your comments anonymously do you see any irony in that?
What is the name of the CPD Lt. that heads News Affairs?
Lt Jagballs.
What lt position is she (M.B.) in Ocd that allows her the time to go to law school and host her CPD boss socialite parties?
Hey 9:52 GFY
Lieutenant,your public service means you are granted the privilege and the trust by the people to serve the community, not oppress the community nor violate civil rights. Censorship is a definite violation of protected speech. You are acting like an oppressive brown shirt with jack boots rather than a knowledgable law enforcement professional. You need to consult with the top occupant at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue who is a credentialed Constitutional scholar, or so we are told. Isn’t that an irony in and of itself. May freedom ring.
For all you people with tiem OTJ.
The old "Gallows" that came out from 025 had many a shit boss blow out his liver from the 100 proof during and after work.
The print form made it's way to every unit in the entire CPD.
It sure beat the nesletter from the FOP, LOL.
Another guy, another hack wondering who SCC is and trying to shut it down! Stop wasting your and the departments time. You will never stifle free speech, this blog who runs it? Let's see obviously maybe 1 or many more dedicated coppers who care about what toes on in this once great city once great department. Have you noticed there Lt there is no advertising? Thousands of "hits" everyday from all over the country some from foreign lands? So boss Mensa scholar how much time do you think is devoted to all the work on this blog? Why is this blog #1 ? Maybe because it is intelligently written, and benefits the working coppers?
The "spirits of the air" live forever boss, you will not ever destroy something that is inspired by us the under appreciated blue shirt, street coppers. If you don't like the blog boss why do you read it? May God bless the SCC writers, readers, thank you for this place to laugh, vent, sometimes mourn our fellow coppers, as far as you Lt many have tried to destroy us and failed, worry about the blood on the streets, not this "insignificant blog" in the superintendent own words!
It will be one sad ass day when SCC says fuck it and shuts down.
It cannot go on forver, He gave it a long run. Who would do this and it takes 50 percent of his day
to run it.
This blog will be a legend for the next 50-100 years !

News affairs has to be causing the building to lean over with all the heavies there! You have a officer quoted in a newspaper. Than the same person, now Sgt. Being quoted there. Did they just go to personnel to get a new star, than back to work? Or did the newspaper promote them by not checking the facts? Now that's heavy!

It is easy to manipulate our media, for it runs like most organizations, in a hierarchy that ends with the wealthy ownership. Those who would errantly claim our media is not controlled are tragically mistaken or ignorant fools. This isn't to say that we do not have good journalists and broadcasters, but if you want to keep your cushy media job, you do as you are told.
In print, your stories are scrutinized by an editor before publishing. If you are a radio broadcaster you are subject to direction from the Program Director, consultant or station manager. If you are a talking head in TV news, your stories are scripted and fed via teleprompter, all of which is once again subject to editing to meet company policy. Don't be fooled about the obvious. Our media is very much controlled and deceives you on a daily basis. Like it or not, that is a fact.
America and the world need heroes in this disinformation and propaganda war for our minds. Be someone who can make a difference like SCC.
Start a website, create a blog, develop an email distribution list, post flyers, get active in local community access TV, call in to talk radio shows, write editorials to newspapers, call your local media and call them out on stories they're missing, or those that they have entirely wrong. Write your elected representatives, or better yet, run for office yourself. Create a podcast, make YouTube videos, start a local discussion group with scheduled public meetings. Amen.
Listen up, coppers. They are coming after you. Better learn how to post anonymously. Go to:
https://www.torproject.org/
Download to a thumb drive and install it on the thumb drive. Don't save ANY files, URL's, and don't open any pdf's or other media.
And don't post from work.
FU lt
They are just mad they can't spin what we write. Like they do with the news.
The blog is free speech for every writer and reader.
The blog is 100 % American!

Why not? The city council just banned plastic bags. Huge debate. Not over murder, crime or police manpower but plastic bags. How long before plastic bag enforcement in the form of ANOVs becomes a topic at COMSTAT. That's where everyone's priorities are. Not on the real problems.

The first amendment doesn't apply to the blog. Have you guys ever actually read the constitution? It applies to the government, not your employer. You cannot be put in jail for writing a blog, but you can be fired.
5/09/2014 05:48:00 PM
In this case, the government is our employer and we are criticizing our corrupt government. Our employer, the corrupt government, wants to shut us up because it does not want it's corrupt and immoral practices to be made public.
The government/employer, cannot hide behind employee/employer relations to shield it's own dirty and illegal dealings.
What we really need is not more blogs but more actual whistleblowers. People who would be willing to testify in Federal Court and help put crooked elected and appointed officials in the gray bar hotel.

I have just had the same problem and I was going to ask them out to the parking lot. But then I found out all three were trained by KB of the WTA. That scared me so I decided not to show up.

You don't know the half of it. Hugo the Whale and the rest of the full time Security Guards have no police back grounds. One is even a former lunchroom server. Sue Gross is wife of former Commander Frank Gross. Woodman is a piece of crap and a Burglar. Was seen passing drugs at school but caught to late. These are the kind of people Taft's has hired for full time. Got rid of one PT CPD that was involved with this case and CPS punished the others involve. Hugo is a fat lazy dude who loves the hear himself on the radio. He thinks he's a super sleuth.
In OCD now.
5/09/2014 05:19:00 PM
OCD! Biggane couldn't organize a Tupperware party, much more identify an organized crime figure. What a joke!
5/09/2014 08:29:00 AM I agree bw should not be leading a district because she does not have a mouth patrol experience. I would never offer to lead anyone if I did not know what I was doing. I guess CPD is the only place that hires people that kiss ass over knowing how to do their job. Pathetic
5/10/2014 12:05:00 PM are you kidding I tried that and it got me dumped back to patrol from a pretty clout heave unit. This department is fucked up beyond repair. I will never do what is right again. I cared about my job and the citizens of Chicago I wanted to do what was right but my bosses were more concerned about not losing their spot or making any waves. They threw me to the wolves and I will never forget that -- never whistle blowers are not safe and they will be punished I speak from experience CPD blue shirt

"Supv" musta put problemboy in his place! At least 3 times!!

5/10/2014 11:51:00 AM
Among the many other' the Gallow's played with. I was in a unit and got pissed when I did not get to read one. I seen Curtain throw many a chair after he read it. His liver went and he went to Heaven, I doubt that ! LOL.
They used to leave a stack on 025' desk back then. The supervisors would not even throw them out. Curtin and his crew were a trip. I was in Curtin' office when he wanted pity from me, LoL. He was also 2/4' in the bag and and a half dog on his desk,
Listening to him for a half hour and him wanting blood from the copper' who fucked with him was too funny. How I keep from busting out laughing I never will know, the second I left his office I laughed till I cried.
Big Joe screwed many a copper to no end. Eddie Burke was his juice and Joe lived in Garfield Ridge,
Heard he is planted within 20 feet of the Daley' plot.
Rest easy Joe C, no more demon's in your head. I bet you still have the taste real bad, even in the ground.
025 really is built on an old Indian burial plot of land.
Many a good copper that worked there when it first opened in 1982had serious bad luck. You old timer' know the rest of stories from 025. Most are very sad.
God bless all our fallen warrior's.

Hugo is an old Imperial Gangster from Kelvyn Park HS from the late 70's. For some odd reason our boy Topper over there made Hugo his second in command. (Me scratching my head). Plus, Hugo isn't the only one getting coppers in trouble or fired at Taft.
A Taft Special Education teacher/party girl/single mom (never married) Christine Medunycia testified in court proceedings to get another copper (William Whelehan) fired from "the job". Here's the paperwork on that:
http://ww.state.il.us/court/R23_Orders/AppellateCourt/2013/1stDistrict/1122680_R23.pdf
Be careful if you have to go to Taft, the teachers there are ratting security out left and right. The created an Us vs. Them environment at Taft.
For what it's worth, I didn't have a very high opinion of the CPD UNTIL I found this blog. I thought the Rahm/McIdiot party line was THE consensus. Now I realize that your bosses are the idiots, and my respect for the rank-and-file has risen dramatically. No wonder they want to shut it down, it's the light shining under the large, damp rock that is the corrupt Chicago machine. Long live SCC.

Sure were. A couple of supervisors got special treatment from PO's they fucked; one had his locker burned up, they squirted lighter fluid through the louvers and then lit it on fire, all his shit burned. Another one had his tires cut and car keyed so the commander let him park in the commander's inside parking spot. Different time, a very direct in your face approach was sometimes used. No blog, no newsletter.
