All Sorts of Rumors

Someone is working OT collecting this info:
  • Word is that McCarthy is going to exit gracefully around September after school starts. This gives Rahm a chance to win black votes by putting together a "blue ribbon panel" to find the next supt. which will be a M/1 or F/1 just before the election. McCarthy is going to use the " dr.s orders for a full recovery" to leave the CPD without getting let go so he has upward trajectory in finding another dept. somewhere else to destroy. Furthermore expect some captains to be going soon with the new 55 health insurance.

    Also word downtown is that Commander O'Neill at MLAS is looking to leave the building by summers end. Also the new squad teams in various districts are an abysmal failure and will end at the 13 period. Also new XO in 011 will completely destroy the district just wait. If you want to know who the smartest man on the dept. Is just ask him (TL) he will tell you.

    Also 020 and 024 WILL NOT merge. Looks like the district mergers have been a disaster since they just reshuffle the deck when the deck really needs more cards. Look for Rahm and McCarthy to boost and expand VRI everywhere they can since Rahm will not hire more PO's. So tact teams are getting between 10-15 RDO's cancelled over the summer, primarily weekends, to be sent downtown on Michigan ave. to protec t he tourists and $$$$ the city needs.

    Also a major re organization and new assignments for Det.s is coming for the detective division, a total revamp by yrs end. Also downtown has put the lid on any possibility of changing district boundaries. Well SCC that all I gots for now......stay tuned.....
We can see most, if not all of these, being true is some form or another.

Rahm will probably start hiring cops just before the election in staggered classes so that he can have his lackey news media do photo ops with all those shinny new faces every month or so.

Rahm will also use a lot of city (we are broke remember) money to put his face and message on all types of public service TV and print ads.

Will someone running against him please point out the decimation of the CPD and the phony crime stats.

To all you out there complaining about having to do all sorts of extra "numbers" activity on "missions", STOP. Just do it. You go out, stop good citizens, violate rights, inconvience people, all for activity, but DO it. As far as the "assholes" in the district, well you stop them too, fill out your contact cards and drive off so you have your activity but know before you get to the end of the block, they are laughing at you. Report back to me, your white shirt, so I can show my bosses that I can motivate people to "bother/piss off" people on the street. Do this so I can keep my spot. Remember, I told my bosses that I WILL make them get numbers, so go get me some activity.

Capt TL is not going to destroy 011, he has already begun. His micro managing, house mouse decisions all in the name of "I am here to protect the commander" while he destroys the commanders name and reputation has begun. TL will one again destroy a good place of police work. 011 will go from maintaining the plug in the dam to an all out giving up the place because they will be too tired and not care from exhaustion after all of his silly look at me and the numbers I got missions, all while having to listen to his endless stories of how he is the greatest supervisor and policeman out there.

XO in 011 is an absolute asshole. He has been denying people's guaranteed summer baby furlos based on their activity and time on the medical (even people that have broken bones and haven't been able to get activity). And I don't mean "medical abusers" and people with no activity. This is for people with once of twice on medical over their ENTIRE career, and who aren't lazy coppers. And he's actually dumb enough to put that in writing. He has told multiple people that p/os should come to work when they are sick and should never use medical. He actually said it doesn't matter if you have the flu, strep throat or cancer. You should never go on medical. He has denied at least two supervisors furlos and told them they better reschedule their pre-planned and paid for vacations with their families. Now as far as activity, it's 011 so it's pretty much impossible to not get activity even when you're not trying to. But he refuses to recognize that 011 has such a high volume of calls that we are in a constant backlog all summer. No amount of activity is ever enough. Literally. He has also created these "mission" teams which have stripped the watches of so many people that they are too short handed to fill the regular beat cars. Which means that everyone gets denied time due. The people on the mission teams are counted as part of the watches when it comes to counting the number of people allowed off each day, but they are not allowed to answer radio jobs or fill in on beat cars when there aren't enough people. He is completely destroying the district. That's what happens when you put someone in charge that has never been the police and has no clue what it takes to run a busy district. People were actually brining in more activity because they were happy with the way the commander has everyone's backs. With this XO treating people like shit though, activity has been on the decline.

This all comes as a surprise to Chief Tracy who is not black. He settled in with is family in Bridgeport because He was promised the next top spot.

Dics will see a major change because so many are going in the next 2 years with the 185 & 86 classes retiring.

Combining the Districts and Compstat were both failures as was more with less police officers. The Mayor can never admit that, just as he can never admit he picked the wrong guy to lead the Department. This is the number one reason the Mayor is hated. He makes bad choices and cannot back off of them and admit he made a mistake.

So you buy into the liberal theory that it is your responsibility, officer, when a criminal commits a crime? You failed to figure out who he was, what his intentions were, and when he was going to act on them? McCarthy is not working the street, you are (well probably not), this is your fault. What is your plan to stop motherfuckers who are drunk and high from shooting the place up on a whim?

The difference between a conservative and a liberal is divided by the line of personal responsibility. I believe that I am responsible for my actions. Even my most petulant and childish actions were conscious choices. Do you you think society, education, pop culture, etc have placed these criminals in a position where they are not accountable? Why do you believe either McCarthy or you is responsible for their actions? You can only be a deterrence.

The same liberal forces that were against the death penalty are now against mandatory sentencing. Their ideal punishment for a murderer is mental health care (unless it's a drunk driver or a white male killing a protected class or gender identity). They don't want minorities in jail, period. They are the ones that push the idea of you being responsible for the acts of a criminal. But you buy into it because you hate McCarthy, the same way you hated the last boss, the same way you'll hate the next boss.

Detectives could break this city's back if they wanted to. The ONLY reason any violent felony is charged in this city is because a Detective pushes hard enough to get it charged. The Cook County SA is prepared to reject or continue EVERY investigation into any violent felony.

If the Detectives were so inclined, they could follow every department rule to the letter and make sure that absolutely no violent felons are charged.

They could simply ask every potential witness if they are prepared to testify at trial. When they say no, the case is over.

Think 25% homicide clearance is bad. Wait until its zero.

For those of who who have no idea about what the detectives do read up.

At the end of the day, unlike patrol, we have several cases sitting waiting for us to to work on. When we come back the following day, or after our weekends, there are several more, waiting for us. Each case requires us to attempt to contact victims, witnesses and identify offenders. Then we have to follow up on them from there, which includes gathering other evidence, attempting to get video, and dealing with the ASA'S. Along with that we have to do sups on everything we do.

We are as short staffed as any district in the city and contrary to popular belief, we, for the most part, work our asses off.

Clearance rates do not reflect the work we do. Our hands are tied unfortunately when it comes to charging ass holes due to circumstances beyond our control.

This isn't a rant complaining about the job, because it is a great job. Not being tied to the radio is nice and getting time off usually isn't a problem, but keep in mind we get stuck late at work, more often lately, and when a job cones in we have to stay and work it.

Remember we all have the same enemies, Rham and GM.

XO in 011 is an absolute asshole. He has been denying people's guaranteed summer baby furlos based on their activity and time on the medical (even people that have broken bones and haven't been able to get activity). And I don't mean "medical abusers" and people with no activity. This is for people with once of twice on medical over their ENTIRE career, and who aren't lazy coppers. And he's actually dumb enough to put that in writing. He has told multiple people that p/os should come to work when they are sick and should never use medical. He actually said it doesn't matter if you have the flu, strep throat or cancer. You should never go on medical. He has denied at least two supervisors furlos and told them they better reschedule their pre-planned and paid for vacations with their families. Now as far as activity, it's 011 so it's pretty much impossible to not get activity even when you're not trying to. But he refuses to recognize that 011 has such a high volume of calls that we are in a constant backlog all summer. No amount of activity is ever enough. Literally. He has also created these "mission" teams which have stripped the watches of so many people that they are too short handed to fill the regular beat cars. Which means that everyone gets denied time due. The people on the mission teams are counted as part of the watches when it comes to counting the number of people allowed off each day, but they are not allowed to answer radio jobs or fill in on beat cars when there aren't enough people. He is completely destroying the district. That's what happens when you put someone in charge that has never been the police and has no clue what it takes to run a busy district. People were actually brining in more activity because they were happy with the way the commander has everyone's backs. With this XO treating people like shit though, activity has been on the decline.

Also, closing a police station so close to an election year may not be in Rahms play book.

For those of who who have no idea about what the detectives do read up.

At the end of the day, unlike patrol, we have several cases sitting waiting for us to to work on. When we come back the following day, or after our weekends, there are several more, waiting for us. Each case requires us to attempt to contact victims, witnesses and identify offenders. Then we have to follow up on them from there, which includes gathering other evidence, attempting to get video, and dealing with the ASA'S. Along with that we have to do sups on everything we do.

We are as short staffed as any district in the city and contrary to popular belief, we, for the most part, work our asses off.

Clearance rates do not reflect the work we do. Our hands are tied unfortunately when it comes to charging ass holes due to circumstances beyond our control.

This isn't a rant complaining about the job, because it is a great job. Not being tied to the radio is nice and getting time off usually isn't a problem, but keep in mind we get stuck late at work, more often lately, and when a job cones in we have to stay and work it.

Remember we all have the same enemies, Rham and GM

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!! I have cases waiting for me to milk the next day which will guarantee me overtime.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! I have to stay late and milk it and get overtime.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! I may get a "job" during my tour of duty and get to make some overtime.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaa!!! I get no radio jobs and get to "interview" witnesses IF I can find them. (Oh, it so hapens that the witness lives by a good eating place and my house)

Put these Premidonna a**holes back in uniform and put some GPS in their cars!!!!! Tell them NO overtime, and let the following watch take over, and if they don't produce Demote them!!!!!

Stop the crying young bucks. You know you get to dine a few hours a day and the work load can be handled by a PPO.
100 K plus and your guys cry,,,,,well here is a news brief coming soon to the D unit.
By end of summer, All dicks will work a district ! Yes a district, and they better check the sheets everyday. If they need a beat car manned, a dick will ne in the bag writing tickets and answering calls. Word is that this will be the norm for all dicks and they should be gearing to be maning a beat car half of a period.
They will answer to watch Lt and be under the foot of the cmdr of the district. There will be no need for but 2 exempts in the D unit when this happens.
Dick' will also be getting made without a test but by meick' will also be under the patrol Sgt' and they will approve reports. Yes, most Sgt' were never dick' so watch out title code 9165.
The D unit is about to change 100 percent then its old self of even 3 years ago.
Un Marked vehicles will be replaced with patrol vehicle. Only a few will have un marked cars. The dick's better start buysing $69.00 suits. The old beat cars with 200 K miles are alittle dirty...to say the least.
Tac units, no more un marked cars very soon. 90 percent of your working days, year around will be in uniform and do not leave district.
Lastly, OCD/Narcotics. 40 percent manpower going back to district by next period.
The b.s one bag arrest per team, per week is over.
Rahm is livid how the copper' do their job and wants heads. The drunk is out and the axe man is in power already at headquaters to make all this happen.
People will be trying to fly into a good district. Game time !!

Changes to the d unit is as follows: all areas will go in to the 10hr schedule, with an over lap of detectives during the busiest times. SVU is going to be eliminated, the Jisc concept will be expanded to cover north, central and south. South and north locations TBD, 39th California will cover central. Child abuse will be investigated by siu at the cac, therefore the cac will be expanded to cover this. Domestic violence will be investigated by detectives that work out of a citywide location TBD. HGS will have assigned districts just like RBT. The 10hr schedule is not going anywhere, if anything it cuts down on overtime. Officers should be very afraid if detectives go into uniform and work a beat car. Don't forget detectives at this time are only eligible for supplemental VRI. You need about 21 years on to get a day of supplemental VRI. Arbitrator ruled against detectives years ago that detectives are not eligible for overtime that can be performed by 9161, they ruled that the detectives have specialty skills not necessary to perform the function of 9161. So if the department puts a detective in a beat car, the city will not have a leg to stand on. This would open the flood gates to detectives for any overtime initiatives. So all the guys who have no time on working VRI can kiss it good bye because a detective will be working it.

To the retard Detective who claims he retired after 24years. Stop lying, you were forced out for being a dogass with an old shine box. Too any things go against your fairy tale. First off, when there's a murder or police shooting you need multiple Detectives on scene, especially since patrol doesn't know how to put someone in a squad car and wait 30 minutes. Also, Sometjing you e never done, Follow ups on your cases, which most of us do our whole shift. You want to put is back in a beat car? Ok, Nothing will happen past scenes, Clearance rates will plumate, And not for retaliation, But because of your theory of us having to answer jobs in a beat car. You're that guy that went home his whole shift and never did anytjing except process juveniles, You obviously never worked a murder or a shooting. Doing a scene, searching for witnesses, doing prison trips to interview people, requesting phone records, having phones analyzed, writing paper, etc. thank God you're retired cause you were worthless on this job.

I can see Violent Detectives concentrating on a District, but they re not going there to work. Stop by the Area sometime on a Sat or Sun when there is 1 and half Homicide teams working, about 8 or 9 detectives and the west side has three murders and multiple shooting on nice warm day. Or a week when it's sunny and got all week long. I m not bitching, I m just saying it goes against everyone saying we re going back in a beat car. And to those who are bitching try earning a better spot on this job instead of crying all the time. If you're crying on here, in sure you're crying all day in the district.

City hall has heard of a legendary leader who takes over the radio during Situations and has complete control over the troops under his command. The Mayor has heard how he runs from one job to another to speak his mind to everyone within eyesight.

This leader is none other than beat 1070/1020 D-JAY Ray, aka the Furor. He will be the next Superintendent.

Let's be real here. Leo received a whole lot of outside help that the previous commander didn't. Period. Not a Caruthers fan, just calling it like it is. And if a black commander was 'upped' to Deputy Chief pay (and status, whatever that means) of a DISTRICT (doing the same job he/she did at the commander pay scale), do you not think there would be outrage over the waste of $$ basically to do the SAME JOB as a district commander? Pull the wool off your eyes, kid, because it has clearly clouded your vision.

I have no problem with it. But, when will I have time to drive to Waukegan, Markham, Harvey, or the other end of the City to search for my witnesses that fled from the Beat officers. Also, when will I search for my offenders since District, Tact, Gangs, Fugitives, barely help us out with No Probable Cause Stops. When will I be able to go interview an arrestee across the City that can give me a third party statement so I can issue a No PC alert for another possoble offender that leads me to the real offender. Inbetween tickets maybe I can schede writing the cell tower historical and going through 300 pages of calls trying to put a connection to the witness to the victim to he offender. In between responding to my Domestic calls maybe I can squeeze in the other shootings and murders that are going to happen which are going to require me to push all of the above to the next day so I can now work on this fresh one.

There are dog asses everywhere, Patrol, D unit, where ever. Don't claim to know what we do unless you ve been there. Some of us actually do the above on a daily basis for our entire shift. Oh yeah, I forgot writing paper. Do you think writing a Homicide or Pilice shooting is like a gocr. Try writing a 30 page report and multiple ones for each case. I guess those will get done inbetween our park checks. Submitting and analyzing evidence.

A few things:
First, any comments on here defending the jagoff captain in 011 are most likely written by his little minion secretary that thinks she is someone important. 8 years of never working the street sure has made her think she's some kind of authority figure. And I have not talked to one copper in 011 who has had anything good to say about the XO. Nor have I met anyone who worked for him in other districts that had anything good to say.

Second, ripping on the D Unit has gotten a little old. Detectives, keep in mind that most of the people bitching that you don't work are POs who have no idea what your job involves on a daily basis.

Also in busy districts, POs do sometimes take lunch close to the end of the tour because they have been in a backlog all fucking day and haven't had time to eat. I guess that makes them lazy dog asses.

If he stays until after the summer the summer long blood bath will be on McCarthy. Then the new guy will be coming on board as the shootings start to decline because the colder months will be approaching. Then they can say it's the new boss and his strategies that are doing it.

He enjoys red lipstick, tracking P/O's , Sgt.'s, and even Lt.'s via GPS because he has nothing better to do.Instead of figuring out a solution to stop the homicides which are on pace to set records in Fillmore, he sits in his office w/ his crown cap on just loading on the red lipstick. Then when it's time for him and the CO (GE) to go play police, they find the poor old man with a shopping cart full of junk sitting on the sidewalk drinking a beer and issue that 60 yr old a big fat ANOV! The dynamic duo!

Looks like xo lemmer is up to his old tricks again. He came from research and development at HQ and they gave him a spot in the old 23 years ago. He used to give his daily lectures at roll call droning on and on about his days in 009 dist as a PO and supplement that with some words of wisdom. He would tell all the POs in roll call how they should put pressure on their fellow officers who were on the medical and call them at home to tell them to come back to work- no joke. He would down several late rapid cars every night from 2100/2200 to end of tour; they would be on some "mission" to get activity and not answer jobs, while the uptown savages were fighting and domesticating. Same guys who worked those rapids every day would bring in a cont card or two and get the early cut while early third watch cars are on OT handling all the late jobs the rapids were excused from. Meanwhile, lemmer himself is in the capt's office preparing lesson plans and grading papers from his 2nd job as a professor at loyola- on city time. He is a self serving merit hack who is trying to get promoted off the backs of working officers. He was promoted because his father was an exempt, so the dept was obligated to carry him. However, as an old timer once told me, the rank of capt is reserved for people who they have to promote but will never go any higher because it is a consolation spot.

Changes in the Det Areas are coming. Investigation into o/t usage. Stay tuned, from what I learned some Sgts heads will roll. Also, all 3 Areas will operate the same. No more SVU and very limited specialization, except Shooting Teams. Also, no more 10 hour day for the Area South Det's.

The city can't take away the ten hour day unless the unit as a whole votes for the ten hour day to be discontinued. Nice try. Any other lies?

For those of who who have no idea about what the detectives do read up.

At the end of the day, unlike patrol, we have several cases sitting waiting for us to to work on. When we come back the following day, or after our weekends, there are several more, waiting for us. Each case requires us to attempt to contact victims, witnesses and identify offenders. Then we have to follow up on them from there, which includes gathering other evidence, attempting to get video, and dealing with the ASA'S. Along with that we have to do sups on everything we do.

We are as short staffed as any district in the city and contrary to popular belief, we, for the most part, work our asses off.

Clearance rates do not reflect the work we do. Our hands are tied unfortunately when it comes to charging ass holes due to circumstances beyond our control.

This isn't a rant complaining about the job, because it is a great job. Not being tied to the radio is nice and getting time off usually isn't a problem, but keep in mind we get stuck late at work, more often lately, and when a job cones in we have to stay and work it.

Remember we all have the same enemies, Rham and GM

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!! I have cases waiting for me to milk the next day which will guarantee me overtime.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! I have to stay late and milk it and get overtime.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! I may get a "job" during my tour of duty and get to make some overtime.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaa!!! I get no radio jobs and get to "interview" witnesses IF I can find them. (Oh, it so hapens that the witness lives by a good eating place and my house)

Put these Premidonna a**holes back in uniform and put some GPS in their cars!!!!! Tell them NO overtime, and let the following watch take over, and if they don't produce Demote them!!!!!

No rumor here, just a fact. The Lithuanian Sisters of St. Casimir are leaving Chicago after 103 years. They've closed Maria H.S. And sold Holy Cross Hospital. Their convent/motherhouse will soon be put up for sale. Less than one hundred in number, average age in the eightees they combine with a Franciscan convent to finish their days. They have fought the good fight and prepare to leave quietly. Godspeed.

The city and world has been changing for the worse. God bless you dear sister', you helped ten of thousands of children.
The world will never again see the likes of Roman Catholic Sisters of old. This is very sad.

Maybe we will all be pleasantly surprised and a new Superintendant will actually be a man who has the proven ability to solve some of the serious crime problems in this city.
Perhaps it will even be someone who doesn't appear to be afraid of this superintendents rants at constant meetings and who defied the politically correct doctrine that a black district "must be commanded by a black commander", even though that had been tried for the past 40 years all with the same result,the worst homicide rate in the City.

Good old captain. TL used to show "training videos" of cops getting shot all the time at roll call. It made you sick to your stomach after a while. We asked if he would show at least 1 a week where the coppers lived, he never did though. He walkways second guessed what the copper did on the video and claimed to be the AUTHORITY on police shootings. Good luck in 011......

Having worked for TM and BK in the old 23, I feel sorry for those of you in 011. You are about to earn your bragging rights. Contrary to some posts, TM will not fuck with the workers because he is envious of them. That being said, don't expect anything out of him for all your efforts. His target is the average officer that he feels he can micromanage into productivity. His tools for that? Multiple missions that overlap so all activity on the watch can be claimed as mission activity and all due to his management style. His other "tool"- Sgt BK. Now don't believe anything he says if two officers have a problem they should take off their duty belts and settle it like men. If you stand up to him, he will back down , hide behind his stripes and go running to his XO. A bully, a coward and a liar. Have fun with these two 011.

To all the idiots in patrol ragging against the detectives. Every detective used to be in patrol so we can smell your BS a mile away. You guys have no clue what it is to be a detective or what a detective does day to day. When you're already home with your family or at the tavern, the detective handling your little ouwee case is still working, trying to convince the ASA to approve a felony or typing up misd. complaints that you conveniently forgot to do, or trying to explain away the incomprehensible GOCR that was submitted prior to the detectives arrival And then I get to type it all up so you can go to court and actually convict the guy. Lets not forget the unsecured crime scenes that detectives respond to and recover all kinds of evidence patrol left lying around. I can go on and on with shit like that. Do I get overtime? You're damn right I do. Do I miss my kids? Yup. Am I tired all the time? Yup. Do I complain like a little jealous bitch who thinks that is entitled to everything? Nope. To all the haters, next time your feelings get hurt call you mother not a detective. To all the patrol officers who give a damn and do their job, thank you. The rest of you, BLOW ME!

XO in 011 is an absolute asshole. He has been denying people's guaranteed summer baby furlos based on their activity and time on the medical (even people that have broken bones and haven't been able to get activity). And I don't mean "medical abusers" and people with no activity. This is for people with once of twice on medical over their ENTIRE career, and who aren't lazy coppers. And he's actually dumb enough to put that in writing. He has told multiple people that p/os should come to work when they are sick and should never use medical. He actually said it doesn't matter if you have the flu, strep throat or cancer. You should never go on medical. He has denied at least two supervisors furlos and told them they better reschedule their pre-planned and paid for vacations with their families. Now as far as activity, it's 011 so it's pretty much impossible to not get activity even when you're not trying to. But he refuses to recognize that 011 has such a high volume of calls that we are in a constant backlog all summer. No amount of activity is ever enough. Literally. He has also created these "mission" teams which have stripped the watches of so many people that they are too short handed to fill the regular beat cars. Which means that everyone gets denied time due. The people on the mission teams are counted as part of the watches when it comes to counting the number of people allowed off each day, but they are not allowed to answer radio jobs or fill in on beat cars when there aren't enough people. He is completely destroying the district. That's what happens when you put someone in charge that has never been the police and has no clue what it takes to run a busy district. People were actually brining in more activity because they were happy with the way the commander has everyone's backs. With this XO treating people like shit though, activity has been on the decline.

6/21/2014 09:27:00 AM

Damn! And I thought only Mike Ryan was that caliber type of prick!! Feel sorry for you all in 11 now.

Lemmer isn't a prick...he just holds people accountable. For far too long, guys got away with...being away from 011. Eating at places that are practically an hour away from the district, walking into roll calls 15 minutes (or later) past start times, 'because I work in 011.' Well, welcome to the new order of things, 011th district dragasses. Now you have to join the rest of the dept. in getting into the building (and roll call) on time, eating a whole lot closer to Harrison and Kedzie than a whole lot of you are used to. Get over it. Why do you think Evans brought Lemmer over there with him? Because Evans knew that more than a few of you needed to get back to work. Do that, and all will be fine.

Thank you for proving my point.

Below are some simple FACTS:

I am better at paper because Iv'e written more reports in a year that you have in your career. I read 20 reports for every one you write. I've handled more crime scenes than holes you slept in. I have testified in more grand juries and trials than you can dream of. Shall I continue?

Anyway lets see what you wrote:

" egotistical maniac douchebag"

Based on what?

"biggest pussy crybaby bitches on this blog"

And you know this how...? You track my comments somehow?

"knock the poor working patrolman"

You are incorrect. Read it again.

"sorry lazy whiny bitch ass"

Again, you came to this conclusion based on... what?

"bringing YOU thee work that YOU bitch and moan about"

Um.. you mean the reports you write? And were do I bitch and moan about the work they brought me?

" I am the Best and I know everything "

Are you quoting me from somewhere else?

"help these kids out and show then what they are doing wrong"

And YOU know I don't, how? I actually do that every opportunity I get.

"Signed, a guy who has more time picking up his check than you do on the job"

Again, did you consult you crystal ball on this one too?

So here we go. A douchbag who makes all kind of assumptions, generalizations, suppositions and accusations with absolutely nothing to back any of it up. You have no idea who wrote that statement. You sir are no better than the half wits that the news cameras always seem to find near a crime scene.

Is this how you write reports? Is this how you testify?

Here you go, I'll teach you something right now:

Supposition: an idea or theory that you believe is true even though you do not have proof.

Now go get me some work to do because I'm running out of things to do.

P.S.

Retire already.

Cool. Based on the whining posts here about the new XO in 011, it appears he's doing just what's been needed in 011 for some time now--holding some people accountable who haven't done a damn thing in quite a while.

Keeping track of the cars via GPS?
Limiting locations where officers can go to lunch
outside of the district?

Things that should have been done a long time
ago, and not just in 011. Maybe Lemmer should
set up an XO training program. Can you imagine
how much more productivity one could get out
of such districts as 012, 016 and 017?
And as far as one poster claims here that Lemmer will destroy good police work? Fat chance. Real police tend to remain real police, wherever they are assigned. But a dogass can find an excuse to be unproductive in any environment. Now get to work!

A few things:
First, any comments on here defending the jagoff captain in 011 are most likely written by his little minion secretary that thinks she is someone important. 8 years of never working the street sure has made her think she's some kind of authority figure. And I have not talked to one copper in 011 who has had anything good to say about the XO. Nor have I met anyone who worked for him in other districts that had anything good to say.

Thank you...agree! Knew of his ways in 23. What a prick. Does he still have that same backstabbing gf? Last I heard she was an FTO in 24. Thinks she is the police, even the recruits made fun of her and couldn't wait to finish their time with her.

You are right, bosses come and go, and nothing changes a person's core work ethic; you work or you don't. However, that doesn't excuse bad supervision and the illegitimate promotional practice on this department. Lemmer is not respectable or worthy enough to wear those bars nor earn a six figure salary for the BS he pulls.
