Well, This Would be a Bombshell

They've kept a tight lid on this if true:
  • Well let me add this "leak"; there will be some Major Changes in the City Council and Rahm will capitalize on them. The "Dean" of the City Council has beaten the Feds, but he has not beaten the Grim Reaper. Ed has stage 4 Cancer, and his departure will have an impact on all aspects of City Government. The last of the Old White Guard is about to exit and will probably be replaced by a Hispanic.
 Anyone know?

Hey SCC,
I would like to take a minute to reflect on the 2 officers killed in las Vegas a few weeks back. Two officers killed for no reason is heart breaking as we all know. My prayers are still with their families. I would like to take one minute to look at the 3rd victim in this shooting as well. According to the link from CNN, he was a licensed concealed carry holder who confronted the armed male suspect, not knowing about the female accomplice. CNN barely mentions this in the link. Being that these events transpired after the death of two police officers in a crowded store, how many lives did the concealed carry subject save confronting an armed assailant? 50? 100? Being that an armed citizen took action and the gunmen had to deal with that threat. Lives were saved. That person should be deemed a hero as well as the officers who gave their lives. Any coverage in the media in support? Nah. A blurb on page 4 of the CNN article. My wife knows my job is dangerous and supports me because I choose to try to make some kind of difference. I hope the 3rd victims wife realizes what a hero her husband was. He saved lives, being armed and ready to defend.

Two on bicycles help foil an iPhone robbery

7:46 p.m. CDT, June 20, 2014

"A high school senior and a 47-year-old man on bicycles helped police nab a juvenile suspect who’d snatched an iPhone from a woman Thursday night in the South Loop...

“I know I’m fast on the bike,’’ said Muchin College Prep senior Benjamin Rivera, 18, of the Humboldt Park neighborhood. “So I just dashed around and went after him.’’

"Rivera... [was headed]home on his...bike about 7 p.m. when he heard a woman screaming near 9th and State streets.

He spotted another bicyclist, a 47-year-old South Loop man who saw the robbery, on the corner and they both went into action as the suspect ran away. Rivera raced up to the woman and asked her what the robber was wearing – green clothing.

"The victim, a 28-year-old lawyer, was walking home from work when someone bumped her on the right side, according to a police report. The teen suspect grabbed her phone from her right hand and she struggled with him but was not able to keep the phone. He ran east through an alley as the woman began yelling: “Hey, he took my phone,’’ according to a police report.

"She, Rivera and the 47-year-old biker gave chase. “We were together,’’ said Rivera of he and the 47-year-old.

"At least two other people helped, including a woman who used an app that tracks an iPhone, the report said.

Rivera and the other biker "cornered him’’ at Roosevelt Road and Wabash Avenue in front of a Trader Joe’s, where the suspect pushed the woman to the ground, knocking her glasses off and causing a rip to her sweater as she landed on her right elbow, according to Rivera and the report.

“Give me back my phone,’’ she screamed.

“Lady, I don’t have your phone,’’ he told her before running away again, the report said.

"Rivera dialed 911 and they kept following him as he ran east again. The 47-year-old saw him try to throw the phone on a roof but it smashed to the ground near 10th and State streets. The man grabbed it and was able to get it back to the victim. Though it hit the ground pretty hard it appeared to still be functional.

"Police got to the scene and the 17-year-old Englewood neighborhood suspect was taken into custody at 15 W. 9th St. where he stopped running.

“He was wearing all green, kinda almost fluorescent clothing,’’ said the 47-year-old. “But he was not a real bright individual.’’

Stephanie L. Kwolek, Inventor of Kevlar, Is Dead at 90

Ms. Kwolek, a DuPont chemist who invented the technology behind Kevlar, a virtually bulletproof fiber that has saved thousands of lives, spent 15 years in the laboratory without a promotion before her breakthrough.

A DuPont spokeswoman estimated that since the 1970s, 3,000 police officers have been saved from bullet wounds through the use of equipment reinforced with Kevlar, which is far stronger and lighter than steel.

Whether you like him or not and whether he lined his pockets as head of the Finance Committee or not, I do know personally that Burke also took really good care of seriously injured coppers through the Finance Committee, getting them all kinds of things off the books (as it would have taken months if not years to get those things otherwise) and never saying anything to anyone about it. My former partner will never walk again. Burke couldn't have been better to him and his family. Sure; it's not coming out of his own pocket but he got the City to do what's right and did it without having to wait. He's OK in my book.

On a side note: I am not much of a forgiver. I do not wish the Superintendent or Ed Burke well. We forgive too much. They are two reasons why we are in the mess we are in.


I'll tell ya exactly what makes him a complete fucking moron. This clueless fuck expects contact cards anovs search warrants and no pcs arrest. "This will get the murders down in 011". And if these are not done in the box that you are assigned, it dosnt count. This guy is braindead he expects guys on the watch to do search warrants we can barley get time to eat a lunch on 3rd watch. Doesn't want pcs arrest? This is 011 wake up they are selling drugs through out the district. You can just tell he hasn't done an once of police work is entire career. Search warrants, you have to get somone dirty to give up an sw. But we will keep doing anovs and contact cards that's what you want. Oh yeah while you and the commander keep fucking with the bust out hypes on Roosevelt. Give them another anov so they don't have to buy tolet paper they will just use the anov.

I would be surprised by this news because I saw him at Hawthorne Park a few months ago (attending a high school fundraising event) and he looked fine. Additionally, according to the news, Burke has attended quite a few other public events and, if he has been taken ill, it has not interfered with his work schedule yet.

Damn !! That's a shame. Burke is like a de facto Mayor much like Madigan is the de facto Governor. Except Burke actually likes the Police and has helped us when he could. Remember 1983 when then Mayor Washington tried to layoff over 100 Police Recruits, the first time in history that police were to be laid off, and Alderman Burke led the way to stop the layoffs by getting a Court Stay for 72 hours which coincidently was the same amount of time needed for the Recruits to finish their one year and become bargaining members of the FOP. I was one of those Recruits. Thanks Alderman Burke. You will always have a special place in my heart.

Wrong. Stage four cancer can be diagnosed. Stage four cancer is when the primary cancer has metastasized and spread to other areas of the body. If the cancer is discovered after it has metastasized, that is then when the diagnosis is made.

AND the morons are putting an ORCHARD on the triangle of land by the blue line station. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?
There is no traffic congestion to 'fix'. The square has worked JUST FINE for a hundred years, but now it needs a multi-million dollar reroute? Total assholes. How to turn a quality neighborhood into a multimillion dollar trashpile."

New sensors will scoop up 'big data' on Chicago

3:32 p.m. CDT, June 20, 2014

"The curled metal fixtures set to go up on a handful of Michigan Avenue light poles later this summer may look like delicate pieces of sculpture, but researchers say they'll provide a big step forward in the way Chicago understands itself by observing the city's people and surroundings.

"The smooth, perforated sheaths of metal are decorative, but their job is to protect and conceal a system of data-collection sensors that will measure air quality, light intensity, sound volume, heat, precipitation, and wind. The sensors will also count people by observing cell phone traffic.

"Some experts caution that efforts like the one launching here to collect data from people and their surroundings pose concerns of a Big Brother intrusion into personal privacy..."

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-big-data-chicago-20140621,0,3075626.story

Need sensors that pick up pedestrian traffic from the Red Line and correlate it to sound of store windows breaking, spitting, cursing, people running, etc.

Ammonia detectors to trip a loud horn when someone's peeing in a doorway...

The mind boggles.

HQ is working on something regarding dept. Reorganization primarily in the Det. Division along with manpower allotment for district based on crimes per capita on the district level. This will be a major announcement by Rahm after summer to kick off his campaign for reelection. Reorganized Det. Div. reassignment to district level, re allotment of district staffing levels and new hiring. All this along with a new f/1or M/2 supt. This is being kept pretty quiet for now since all the house mice at HQ are very worried about what ends up on this blog. All the bosses are very concerned about appearing on SCC but they all read it on their IPhones since they don't want anything linked to their blackberries or computers incase someone sends in an IT guy to search the history. But comp-post is here to stay since they can manipulate the numbers without anyone questioning them. Also look for the contract to be settled around Sep-Oct for political reasons.

I would like to respond to the lovely post by the officer who took the time to mention the police shooting in Las Vegas. I retired from CPD and moved to Vegas. In over 30yrs with CPD I had the misfortune of attending to many killed in the line of duty funeral's. It was a sad day here however I have never seen civilians come together so quickly in support of all three victims. This occurred on a Sunday and by Monday morning there were fundraiser's all over the valley. In the first day almost 100,000 dollars were raised and everywhere you go since they are still collecting. Thank you Las Vegas.

Just not always from metastatic cancer.

My brother was diagnosed with metastatic cancer, both lungs, bones, spine, left kidney. Three months later we had the memorial/burial etc. Others have Stage 4 cancer and aster several years. It just depends.

Damn !! That's a shame. Burke is like a de facto Mayor much like Madigan is the de facto Governor. Except Burke actually likes the Police and has helped us when he could. Remember 1983 when then Mayor Washington tried to layoff over 100 Police Recruits, the first time in history that police were to be laid off, and Alderman Burke led the way to stop the layoffs by getting a Court Stay for 72 hours which coincidently was the same amount of time needed for the Recruits to finish their one year and become bargaining members of the FOP. I was one of those Recruits. Thanks Alderman Burke. You will always have a special place in my heart.

That was over 30 years ago. What have you done for me lately? Why can't his "committee" pay medical bills inside of a year or more. How many police have had their credit destroyed by Ed Burke and his "committee" on finance?

To the cop who's car got hit at 26 and California You can call down at HQ and they can pull the GPS on which sqaud cars were there but that might jam that PO up. You should not have to deal with that BS. I'm sure that squad car has damage especially if paint was transferred. That PO really messed up. What is this department coming too that you have to hit and run on a fellow PO. The department would have covered the damages. All because some lazy dog didn't want to do the vehicle damage report and get a control number.

Hey "old timer".....that is the way it was done not less than 20 years ago....stand up inspections EVERY DAY. Quit your bitching.

You already work in 007.....ok...life is about choices. Choose to leave 007 and go cry in another District

Should we be kissing your ass or grateful because you decide to show up everyday? Don't show up one day and see what happens. I am calling your bluff on this one.

Yes, yes, and yes. One on-duty incident, three bills that didn't get paid for nearly two years. I knew if I paid them out of pocket, I'd NEVER get reimbursed. So, my credit took over a hundred point hit for about three years and it nearly took an act of Congress to get my mortgage approved because of it.

Similar shit happened to me. Squared parked inches from my car, nothing was damaged though. The copper was going to his squad when I was heading to my car. I said something to him and he was a bitch and cowered away.

If anyone was a 'Rat Bastard', it was Cooley saving his own skin.

Some of these posts, obviously some from the general public yet other by the Police are absolutely heartless and an embarassment coming from professionals.

The investigative portion of greylord ended in 1984. The trials continued for another 10 years. Anne Burke finished law school in 1983 and was appointed directly to the appellate court in 1987. Obviously a big clout move, but how was she fixing cases her first year out of law school? Cooley talked shit about Ed in his book, but that was it. These people are rotten enough without making things up. It kills your credibility when you lie.

Let me get this straight you can't fix cases your first year as a lawyer in Chicago in the late 70's early 80's but you can be appointed to the appellate court four years out of law school. WOW what logic.
