He is going to be really mad.......

LOVE IT! Where is that?
Can somebody please Photoshop that message on a panoramic view of the Chicago skyline.
That is unless they can actually set up that message on the windows up on the Big Willy or the Hancock Center.
That would make the front page.
That's great! Hope people got the message.
True dat.
Now, does anyone know how to hack into those LED billboards?
Seeing "Rahm Sucks" or "Welcome To Chiraq" on a 20' x 60' brightly backlit LED billboard driving into the shitty would be comical.
Perhaps modify the existing "Put The Guns Down" message to show a half-missing finger on the hand giving the 'peace' sign?
Part of the cities electronic billboard thing we all heard so much about.
Amen to that!
Truth will out!!!!maybe Trump can put it on his building!!!!

Why don't the Feds arrest and charge rahm for the murders and shootings in this city. Intentional mismanagement of tax dollars and not providing citizens with proper public safety seems more criminal then the epidemic straw purchasing they love to report on the news. Politicians are the worst criminals in this city. Hey media!!! The department is not fully staffed. Compare the police payroll from 1996 until now. Throw in furlos, medical, and admin assignment and you're almost down to the bone. Now check the departments vehicles, detectives, working electronics and you'll really wonder where all the tax dollars are going. Those speed cameras are performing amazingly though. There is still A shit load of pot holes from the winter also. WTF media!!!! Do you work for the citizens of this city or just 51?

Agreed. Someone make a citizens arrest, throw some American flags in front of those cameras, vote a new mayor in office. City moves forward.
Why would they city tell the testing company to hold off on sending out sgt results? Hmmm. Think about who this benefits.
OT- Ret. Supt. PC earning $275,000 per year in Sun times. Salary from police foundation $116,000? Wow...just wow
Looks like the sign should be on the back of a moving truck for this one time Mayor.
Love it! Whoever you are, you made my day!
now that's a union member that wants a raze.
Rahm held a 'private' meeting to discuss violence in Chicago. What ever happened to the 'Open Doors Meeting Act'?? As mentioned in the Trib, media was invited into the meeting for a short space of time and then quickly 'ushered' out of the room. In part, Father Phleger said he is looking for internet for those who do not have internet. How's that for taking care of violence in the city?? Anyone know the name of the contractor who will be signed on to this violent project?? Just wonderin'.
Hmm. Looks like someone did not change the default password on the control panel.
Oh oh oh...I want to kiss the person who did this! I am sending this to all my teacher friends.
Hes trying to compete against the TRUMP sign
Yea he does.
Well, just received an email from the Dept notifying me that my CR info dating back to 2001 will be released because of a recent court case. All 'Not Sustained"!!! Didnt the FOp take this to a higher court?
karen lewis is out campaigning :)

Hey father faker, don't you need a computer in order to need internet. Oh yea, that'll be next... we need computers for the citizens so they can use the shinny new internet dey got.

Great comment. When will Rahm realize he is NOT cut out to be a leader?
I am SO not impressed with his style or accomplishments, I would NEVER vote for him for a higher office. Can I get an Amen?
Where's the LIKE button
Very adult. No wonder the guy looks down on everyone.
Personally, I don't believe putting Mayor Emmanuel's name in lights on the sign is correct or proper.
He's not that bright.
Anti-Semitic Hate Crime! Call in the Feds!
(yes Rahm has played that card before, when he ran for congress)
That salary for Cline to run the Memorial foundation is ridiculous! Ive been saying that for years. He makes BIG money off the backs of many hard working Police Officers that are struggling to make ends meet. BTW its only the base salary at a buck,sixteen,. it goes up fast with the perks and extras.
Yes, funny it is. And, yes, many people do not like the mayor. But consider the alternative. Karen Lewis as a frontrunner? If she is mayor all I can say is: "Detroit here we come!" And fast.
Looks like the sign should be on the back of a moving truck for this one time Mayor.
7/22/2014 12:56:00 AM
I wish this were true but the way the sheep in this city vote he will probably be around for as long as the stuttering prick was.
Hacker here. When I approached the control box it was unlocked. I was LOL.
I pull the keyboard out and simply back space and enter new text, click a button with a happy face on it to save the changes.
Workers from Walsh construction saw it 2 hrs later then folded the sign down, but I raised it again once they left.
If you see these sign elsewhere in the city just check them out. Lets see how many messages we can push out like this.
RAHM SUX.
This falls in WTF section:
http://america.aljazeera.com/articles/2014/7/22/detroit-retireespensioncutsok.html
interestingly I have not seen this story in some of the major news outlets(I could have missed it)
In 004 years ago, someone hacked one of those signs with a message for Sgt. King of Serbia. It stayed that way all weekend.

Great idea. Why don't you make that citizens arrest?
Why is no one asking how much money in donations does Phil Cline bring in since being appointed to the memorial fund? Sounds like the same deal Daley got for fixing the meters then "consulting" for the same firm that oversaw the deal. What nonsense, if he consistently increases donations since his appointment then ok, if he is a hack sucking out an extra pay day then let us know. They already take a donation from almost everyone on the 1st and 16th. Due the math $10 for say 6000 is 60,000 a pay period times 24 people. That is 1,440,000 a year! Let's see how much goes to maintenance of the memorial, payout of benefits and SALARIES for the hacks.
Priceless! Let put it on the AON building
Undoubtedly great wads of money will be squandered trying to hunt down the culprit who committed this horrible horrible act against the nice guy Mayor.
Course, Chicongo's a rich burg & can afford a few 100k to catch the sign Perp
LOL, if the Perp outed himself am sure he would never have to pay a restaurant tab in Chicongo for the rest of their life
Hey that's funny,at best somebody can get suspended for freedom of speech or print,on city time,ha ha ha ha,I hope he gets the message,either way it's true!
Can somebody please Photoshop that message on a panoramic view of the Chicago skyline.
Put it on the building, right below the TRUMP sign!
That's the spirit!
Lets keep Rauner on the north shore this year.....
And send Emanuel home to the shore next year!
12:45...
Thanks for keeping the spotlight on Phatty.
Just remember all the strong arming done when you have no pension and you're on Obamacare, while Phatty floats on the lazy river in FL......
That image on the bldgs downtown would make Rahm the laughing stock of the nation. NOW is the time to come after him! RAHM SUCKS should be the battle cry of every city worker/taxpayer that this weasely little knob treats like a surf.
That was the best who ever did it you deserve a medal outstanding.

I say it is to help the poor down trodden of the city so they can organize better and more productive wildings that are all inclusive and nobody misses out on all the fun.
Fuck Phlemmer and get his peeps to work and pay for shit. How come he is at the meeting? We are not Iran, America keeps church and state seperate for a reason. Fucking dumb asses. By Gary, by Rahm.
Love it!
Was ISP director Hiram Grau present at this meeting? Was Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart present at the meeting?
It was at armitage and damen !
The only thing wrong is that LAZ Parking is going to collect several thousands of dollars for RahmSux taking up their overpriced parking space.
We need to get a giant inflatable rat too.
Putting on my new city sticker reminded me of herbie. Is he dead or in the joint?
Who the bigger FOOL? Kanye West, the down low fool who daddied HO Kim K baby, or phake rev phlager, whom at an "anti violence closed meeting with leaders of the NO BRAINS" demanded access internet for those without? Number 1 what does that have to do with anti-violence? Number 2 who pays for their computers and training? Peeps already get free EVERYTHING. Well ran dry phlager. Just like your stint at Sabina should have 30 yrs ago.Every other priest has to change assignments every few yrs but you live in that big rectory which housed 14 real priests in its heyday and adopt 2 kids-one a banger who got kilt. Worked in 006 for yrs and you are the cancer sport. Your screaming like a black preacher shows your pathetic self. Must have caught someone doin an alter boy to get away with your shit. BTW good to see your hair style hasn't changed since Quigley days. LOL. We always knew you were a fool and pussy. Put on a collar and now scream about everything. Preach the Gospel and shitcan the theatrics FOOL!
At the next Anti-Violence Marches that should be the battle cry of the crowd...

It wouldn't take much to get them worked up and shouting and then get that video on the air. But we would have to grab it before Rahm could get it deleted.

How magnaminous of Father Michael Pfleger to seek Internet access "for those who do not have Internet." Just send your checks to:
Father Michael Pfleger
St. Sabina Rectory
1210 W. 78th Pl.
Chicago, IL 60620
I will NOT be contributing. I need money for dental floss. And if Pfleger thinks it's going to come out of taxpayer coffers, he can go fuck himself until Hell freezes over. Do you know what I'm sayin', you demagogic parasitic muthafucka?
How about on the JUMBO-TRON at the next Bulls, Hawks games and the outfield billboards at Cubs and Soxs park.
This could become like the Traveling Gnome and RAHM SUX could make it around the world.
We could see Jimmy Fallon, David Letterman, OPRAH and Diane Wallace with screen grabs of RAHM SUX. They may even make a follow-up episode to CHICAGOLAND to cover this.
I just ordered my 2XL
RAHM SUX
T-shirts.
Very little news coverage here about the fact that the Newark police Department is being taken over by the feds. After a department of justice study revealed they continually violated peoples rights. The probe began in 2011. Hmm I wonder who was Superintendent out there up until 2011?
I'm wandering , how much funds PC / he's donates to the cause?
The dude should be volunteering his time what a F#%k joke!
Let me guess, the meeting starts with everyone patting each other on the back, shaking hands, and a quick stroke of the ego. Then they take seats and blow smoke up each other's ass about what they are doing (essentially lie to each other and think nobody knows they are full of shit). Then the reverends all get a chance to let all these egotistical maniacs who have not been on the street in 20 years (if ever), what needs to be done on the street. Then they all act so concerned and tell each other they will look to make changes and say they will meet again at a later date. Then they all kiss each other's ass goodbye. Lastly they open the doors to the media, spin this dog and pony show so it sounds like they had enough and this time they have REALLY had it! What a joke!

The FOP, Sgts Union and Lts Union all let it go. They didn't lift a finger to stop it. Why?
Shut down all the ghetto liquor stores and pop and chip stores.

I was watching True Grit for the 28th time last night. I am reminded of the sure-fire 100% effective rate anti-violence device used near the beginning of that film: The Gallows
"The wicked flee when no one pursues"
WE don't use the term PERP. That is an East coast acronym for an offender or suspect. If you want to play east-coaster then move to Jersey, Boston or New York and you can play a loud mouthed chest-thumper like McGoofy. Turn off the television, miss a few episodes of your favorite crime shows and put down the lopsided ill-informed media news scrubs and stop sounding; and acting like a wannabe goof.
Simple, but effective.
to all you Phil Cline haters, if you do your homework, i.e. read the annual reports of the cpmf one would see his salary comes from the corporate sponsors, not from the donations of officers and civilian members of the fund.
once again, idiots (like liberals) spouting off about what they perceive without fact checking
Re: Cline and Memorial Foundation, I posted a bunch of numbers from 2012 tax returns, but it was not approved (rightly so, as I posted at an inappropriate thread). Not going to recreate, but info is available here:
http://www.guidestar.org/
You have to register to see returns.
CFD union has balls to sue city for giving 5 points to cps students . Why didn't FOP sue the city . How many cps students did not pass police test without the 5 points.
They should have demanded every Merit Supervisor and Command Staff pass the entrance test . Post results of the merit boss scores on every promotional test .
Every Hawks and Bulls home game should have Rahm Sucks signs in the crowd shots before the games and between periods.

Hmmm... a sort of mini-Prohibition. That really worked in the 1920's with the Volstead Act and gave us Al Capone and Bugs Moran.
Imagine all the taxes that will be lost that support our salaries and pensions. All that liquor will be sold can be sold in basements and out of trunks of cars.
Our God forbid, the ghetto comes to where we buy our booze.
What the FEDS should shut down is the TAX SCAM of NEW IMMIGRANT businesses and stores. As I understand it, a new immigrant can open a business and remain Federal tax free for up to five years if they can show a loss each year on paper. So after five years he brings a cousin form wherever and it starts all over again.
Some of these stores can sell RAHM SUX t-shirts and bobble-heads.
Can the CPS students (8th grade) read the sign?
Pfleger might also ask/demand free cable, free bus passes, free rent, free heat assistance, free EBT cards, free water, ala Dee-troit, free .....
Might be interesting to see contributions to that loudmouths parish.
Doesn't matter where Cline gets that fat salary .. it's non for profit he should reimbursed for reasonable out of pocket expenses or just write it off like the rest of us simple folks
Re: Phil Cline...Who cares if he gets paid from corporate sponsors..ALL the monies collected should go to the families! Get someone who will donate their time.
I also just heard on the news that every alderman gets 1.3 million per year as "discretionary" fund. I would love to see how 50 million is spent. Maybe they use it well, but I doubt it.
F him if he can't take a joke!
O/T Just viewed Ch 7 news with Chuck Goudie interviewing Lisa Grau who is head of the drivers license program for the illegals. What are her credentials to head this program? Answer her father little big man Hiram Grau.BGA check the e mails from Grau to Jessie White. Start asking questions.Tell us no one who works at the Sec of states office was qualified do head this job.She was a school teacher before this. Another political hack.
(OT) how many scum lawyers, will be at he trough looking to jam up taxpayers and coppers? Again thanks rahm for giving up more taxpayers money and coppers grief!

I heard on the news there was gun arrest at the demonstration downtown by the Israeli Consulate. Someone had a concealed weapon. Suppose the person was otherwise legit, FOID, CC card etc, the news guy said it was against the law to carry a weapon to a public gathering. WTF?
Illegal to carry on the CTA, illegal to carry in Starbucks for my pre-demonstration espresso, illegal to carry once I get there. Shit, it was better before there was any concealed carry law. I was just an off duty PO and carried everywhere without a thought.
Now I am retired and no longer have police powers or the protection of the City lawyers and might as well leave the damn thing at home. I can imagine going to a hockey game with a snub and getting arrested.
This has to be by design by all the anti-gun idiots.
There was a woman from Niles on TV being interviewed. She made it sound like her whole family went down with the Titanic the way she was talking about Niles approving a gun store and range and training center. Fucking moronic idiot woman.
A friend moved to South Carolina. Gas is $3.19 a gallon. Everything is cheap. Need ammunition just go to the hardware store, no one bats an eye. Need a new gun, go to the same hardware store. Fucking sane state unlike this shithole. So why am I here? Family member in a nursing home. Damn it.

.......................
Everyone knows that corporate sponsors pays his salary. The problem is why is Philmypockets even accepting a salary? Why doesn't he donate his entire salary into the fund?
Do you know he only works 6 months per year? The other 6 months he is in Florida. So he is getting $116,000 per year for a part time job to wine and dine people into donating money to the fund. The fund also pays for his work car and gas and meals.
Get your head out of the sand and wake up. Fill is for fill and always has been.

But wouldn't the corporate sponsors' money be more money toward the fund if it wasn't going to Cline?
Reading up on gangster history I was reminded of tiny, ruthless, Jewish gangster, Louis "Lepke" Buchalter, only major hood to get zapped by capital punishment. another raccoon-eyed little fuck who bullied people. Can we now re-christen him Mayor Lepke? I think it fits, look him up.

I spent most of my career in the Detective Division. In conversations, detectives often used the monosyllable PERP for the "bad guy" and VIC for the "good guy". God knows I've locked up well over a thousand Part I felony PERPS. We rarely used a awkward multi-syllabic "offender" outside of our written supplementary reports. Same goes for PERPetrator.
Using your convoluted "logic", I suspect you would call me a racist for using the monosyllable "black" instead of "African-American". When they start referring to "whites" as "European-Americans", I may reconsider.
PERP is NOT an acronym either. It's abbreviated police slang for perpetrator.
Please spare us your meaningless drivel on the blog, slick.
I've had the honor and pleasure to meet with many of our NYPD brethren--a great bunch of guys. I resent your snarky comments painting New York's Finest with the Garry McCarthy brush.

I don't know. I never hear from that FOP President guy at all, not a peep in the media or interview, since he got elected.
At time when I would think we would hear a public statement from FOP President: nothing.
Really, I haven't heard him at all since the election.
how do i withdraw my contribution to the memorial foundation. I'm not going to support a six figure salary on top a six figure salary pension.
Someone once hacked the Connecticut state highway sign system; [Governor Lowell] "WEICKER IS AN ASSHOLE" flashing away, thousands of cars going by...
They couldn't figure out how to shut it off right away so Weicker sent out the state troopers to tie tarps over the signs...
The FOP, Sgts Union and Lts Union all let it go. They didn't lift a finger to stop it. Why?
Why? Because the unions had no legal standing in the matter. The data, once scrubbed of personal information like SS#s, is owned by the City and you do not have a property right to it.

Sorry John Northen, closing in on 30 yrs myself and never heard the word PERP used (not by myself or any of my co-workers). You sound snarky yourself just assuming that because you may have used it, it is a CPD slang and the poster should "get a life and shut the fuck up." Really? Was that necessary? I read the blog often enough to consider you a man of class, not someone who resorts to nasty insults for silly reasons.

The prohibitions only apply to CCW licensees. As a retired officer, your right to carry is not affected by the signs. It is federal.
"Every Hawks and Bulls home game should have Rahm Sucks signs in the crowd shots before the games and between periods."
Seriously, I have been hoping the huge controversy about the addition of video boards and signs to Wrigley Field was about flashing "Rahm Sux" messages during each and every home game.
Hey Northen
What are you doing posting here? This isn't a promotion topic, where you can bellyache again about getting screwed over for promotion decades ago. Hey John, we get it, it happened, it's over. Move on with your life. You sound pathetic. As soon as I retire, this blog will become something I used to read on occasion, not an outlet in which to tell my war stories because nobody at the bar will listen anymore.

Thank you. Police cars are also called cruisers; it is in the dictionary. It is a breath of fresh air that someone is able to grasp the concept of "term of art." Also, being able to describe something in more ways than one is a sign of intelligence.
When you visit the Chicago Police Memorial Park on the lakefront, you will notice that the names of those who have donated $100,000.00 to the CPMF appear on chrome plates at the center.
In addition to drawing his pension as a former CPD Supt., Mr. Cline is also paid $116,000.00 per annum.
There are many retired officers who would do his job gratis with only a company car and a meticulously audited expense account.
I question Mr. Cline's dedication and integrity as the head of the CPMF. Why doesn't the name PHILIP CLINE appear on the wall of $100,000 donors? If not for sheer greed, his additional $116,000 financial windfall appears that his motivation is disingenuous at best.

I've had the honor and pleasure to meet with many of our NYPD brethren--a great bunch of guys. I resent your snarky comments painting New York's Finest with the Garry McCarthy brush.

Thank you. Police cars are also called cruisers; it is in the dictionary. It is a breath of fresh air that someone is able to grasp the concept of "term of art." Also, being able to describe something in more ways than one is a sign of intelligence.

"Bus" is also in the dictionary, but it doesn't mean it's the normal police terminology for 'ambulance' in Chicago.
"Cruiser" is also in the dictionary, but it doesn't mean the usage is the same in all geographical areas. Down at Clark and Broadway, it certainly doesn't mean what a southern Illinois copper would mean, although the same word might be used. Get over it; Chicago cops don't say 'cruiser' when referring to their squad cars and they don't say 'perp' because they're not in an episode of NYPD Blue.
I'm not the original poster you're ragging at, but I worked in the D in Chicago for half my career and not once did I hear the word 'perp' used by a detective or a supervisor. You must have been in a very, very special unit.

A couple of skells are bustin' my balls. Get me a bus within the confines of the 18th Precinct forthwith. K.
Collar the PERPS. Protect the VICS.
The FOP, Sgts Union and Lts Union all let it go. They didn't lift a finger to stop it. Why?
Why? Because the unions had no legal standing in the matter. The data, once scrubbed of personal information like SS#s, is owned by the City and you do not have a property right to it.

With this, I would guess we are now hearing from a union. You don't have to be a lawyer to see how wrong you are.
I have talked to people involved here. I am telling you your unions dropped the ball. As a taxpayer I am not happy about it.

In regards: PERP, CRUISER, SQUAD CAR, PADDY WAGON, MARIAH, BUST, COLLER, SKEL, BUTTON, COPPER, PEELER, CRUSHER, SHU-FLY, DICK, MOUNTIE, CAN-MAN and I could go on and on.
Regional cop jargon along with the rest of the English language has become more enriched as time goes by and words are spread by movies, TV, books and the movement of populations. Try watching The Story of the English Language when it comes on PBS.
If anyone remembers the cop TV show CRIME STORY with Dennis Farina (RIP). Some people said that nobody ever talked like that. As an Old Timer who knew Dicks (Detectives) from that era I can say, "Oh yes they did."

You make a compelling and valid point about Cline's absence from the $100K donor list. Hell, he could easily pitch in another $100K for his clouted son Matthew.
Did McCarthy, Weis, Hillard, Rodriquez, Martin, Rice, Brzeczek and DiLeonardi donate a dime to support the families of our fallen heroes. NO!
Like the job itself, it's all legit--the Chicago Way! = $$$$$
Being the police was not a bad job Phil, 1/4 mil a year in retirement !
Botton line, you never would g out of your way to fuck a copper.
Never let the 4 stars go to your head.
You had a good run and you got a good gig helping copper' family. Who is anyone to question this.
Most retired bosses take jobs paying big ass money and do shit on the tax payers dime.
Little Tommy Byrne ring a bell. Little man syndrome and always had a big ass attitude. Did shit for no one but his own. Not Irish, you were SOL !
On his second big paying job since he retired.
Now the park district boss ! The nightmare he caused during the big snow fall a few years back just got him a better job.
Very adult. No wonder the guy looks down on everyone.
Wrong, he LOOKS Up to everyone!

You say 'enriched'. I say homogenized.
Little Tommy Byrne, took care of a lot of people who weren't Irish. Ever hear of Rottner? Byrne made Rottner, who never worked the street.

Spending a little too much time on Thee Rant, John?
The prohibitions only apply to CCW licensees. As a retired officer, your right to carry is not affected by the signs. It is federal.

This is not the way I read since Obama has changed the rules twice, last time being last year. Does anyone have any more comments on this. Pay special attention to page 4.
Retired
Add Obama's name to that

Good one. Disregard the bus, Central. LMAO.
Back to hunting down PERPS in Chi-Town.
Bruce Rottner DIDNOT need TOM THUMB to get him made. Ever hear of Bernie STONE.
Bernie was a good old alderman who would help anyone !!

Mayor Jane Byrne did.
We should name Millennium Park after her.
Do you also say "lawyer up"?
