Nice Resume` Builder

  • Yesterday, after a three-year-long investigation, the federal government appointed a monitor to oversee the police department in the city of Newark, New Jersey, after the U.S. Justice Department uncovered a “pattern and practice of unconstitutional policing” in recent years—including during the years that Chicago’s police superintendent Garry McCarthy served as that city’s top cop, from September, 2006 to May, 2011.

    The Justice Department and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey announced its investigation on May 9, 2011, just days after Chicago’s newly sworn-in mayor, Rahm Emanuel, selected McCarthy to run the department here. (Investigators in the U.S. attorney’s office first began looking into allegations of brutality, racial discrimination, and police misconduct in 2010. The New Jersey chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union that year also petitioned the Justice Department to begin an investigation into hundreds of complaints of police brutality, wrongful arrest, improper stops and searches, and false arrests.)
Thanks goodness nothing like that could happen here!

Hey Rahm? You having second thoughts about this hire? It's okay to admit it may have been a mistake - the healing process requires that you acknowledge mistakes.

Has any Chicago media outlet even touched this?

Hiring mistake?

Come on, SCC. You KNOW better than that.

A cerebral narcissist with the arrogance like Rahm would NEVER admit to that.

He doesn't make mistakes. Plus, no one on his staff would tell him he made a mistake. But, that is another analysis.

~~~snip~~~
The Justice Department’s troubling findings about the Newark police force, including .... a good deal, ... of which, occurred on McCarthy’s watch — stands in stark contrast to his rhetoric as Chicago’s police superintendent. McCarthy has talked of “soft policing” and “arresting the right people,” not filling up the jails. And time and again, he has stressed his commitment to “community policing,” that is, officers interacting with neighborhood residents in positive ways.'
<<<<

Color me cynical, but I'd bet the rent that McJersey didn't prostrate himself in front of Father Flaky and the cabal of store-front Rev'runs for nothing from his first day here. Nope, McCompStat knew the Feds were looking into his shenanigans in Newark so like all politicians, especially demonRAT pols, which he is, he ran for the best cover there is, and for image makeovers when you're White: the Black Rev'runs. In Chicago throw in Father Flaky and the community 'activists' (agitators is more like it).

George Ryan used Blacks with his Death Row ploy to *prove* he was great guy and to get a lenient sentence. Clinton did it too during Monica-Gate when he called in Jesse Jackass to be his spiritual advisor. And McShitForBrains did it with the Rev'runs and 'the community' to *prove* he wasn't a racist. Therefore whatever happened in Newark really wasn't his fault.

As to the first part about "unconstitutional policing" and violations of Rights under the 1st and 4th Amendments -- well that shouldn't be a shock to anyone. When someone has contempt for the Rights in one part of the constitution like McGunGrabber has with 2nd Amendment Rights, it follows that they'll have contempt for Rights under other parts of the constitution as well.

WHAT TIME IS IT?

Time for the political apparatus to blow even more money on gun bans, AGAIN.

Cook County calls for ballot referendum on assault weapon ban, universal background checks (VIDEO)

The Cook County Board of Commissioners approved a ballot measure Wednesday to ask voters for their feelings on universal background checks and an assault weapon ban.

The non-binding advisory referendum will be on the upcoming November general election ballot for Cook County, in which some 40 percent of Illinois residents live. On it, voters will be asked to answer the below question:

=========================

They have to do this. Otherwise things like term limits and how the remapping wards is done might just show up on the ballots and the citizens will have their voices heard.

From McCarthy's standpoint, he landed in what could be the right job if this investigation goes further. Rahm may still have a little bit of clout with the Bamster's administration and may be able to call of Holder's hounds. From Rahm's standpoint, however, unless McCarthy is covering something up for him, I don't see the benefit.

I would think that this really begins the downward spiral and exit of McCarthy. He probably will stay until the next mayoral election and then depart. I predict another national search and a black or a female or a black female will get the job. the mayor needs a minority to take the heat because no matter who is the next superintendent, nothing will stem the tide of shootings and killings in Chicago. Nothing in the near term anyway. But, the black community has to shoulder some of the blame for this . They must force a change in attitude among themselves. Attitude about education, family and work.

SPEAKING OF NEW JERSEY

This might spill over here...

From the NY Post

"The Bloods have vowed to kill more Jersey City cops to avenge the thug the police shot dead this week after he executed a rookie officer, The Post has learned.

The violent street gang has threatened to “kill a Jersey City cop and not stop until the National Guard is called out,” a senior law enforcement source revealed.

Police are even being warned that violent Bloods gang members may be traveling from out of state to target officers in New Jersey, according to an internal New Jersey State Police advisory obtained by The Post.

“New Jersey State Police has received credible information from the Jersey City Police Department about specific threats toward Jersey City police officers and law enforcement,” the advisory read.

“The United Blood Nation may take retaliatory action against police officers.”

The New Jersey State Police advisory cautioned that officers should remain vigilant and be aware of “the potential for Bloods traveling into Jersey City.”

In addition to the New Jersey State Police advisory, a statewide alert has been issued to police officers, a senior law enforcement official said Tuesday.

“It was an officer safety awareness” advisory “telling cops to be careful and to wear their vests and take the threat seriously,” the official said.

Slain Jersey City Officer Melvin SantiagoPhoto: Reuters

Cops throughout New Jersey have been warned to use extra caution due to the threatened retaliation, which follows three police-involved shootings in the city.

The gang threat was made in direct response to the fatal Jersey City police shooting of Lawrence Campbell moments after he ambushed Officer Melvin Santiago in a Walgreens parking lot early Sunday.

Santiago had been responding to an armed robbery at the 24-hour drugstore when Campbell unleashed a barrage of bullets, leaving 13 holes across the patrol car’s windshield.

Santiago, 23, was shot in the head. His partner dodged the bullets and returned fire, killing Campbell. It was not clear Tuesday if Campbell, 27, was a member of the Bloods.

The tip about the threat came from a credible source who has provided valuable information about gang activities in the past, authorities said.

The state police and the Jersey City Police Department did not return requests for comment.

Meanwhile, a makeshift memorial to Campbell was dismantled after residents of a Jersey City street became outraged.

The memorial just off Martin Luther King Drive included candles, empty liquor bottles, and T-shirts to lionize the cop-killer.

The shirts bore the phrases “Thug In Peace” and “Live Life My Bro.”

Police reportedly tore down the shrine Monday.

“I had it taken down last night,” said Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop, according to NJ.com.

It looks like all of that class of NYPD Commissioners/Deputy Commissioners are not acting within the bounds of the law.

McJersey and Frank Straub were Deputy Commissioners under Commissioner Bernie Kerik (now CONVICT Kerik)...now look at their resumes & accomplishments. Straub has a web site dedicated to what he did.

OT: Heard through the grapevine at today's Comshit meeting that the almighty McDrunk told a Commander (who was filling in for a missing Deputy Chief) something to the effect "I heard enough from you, get off the stage." If this is true, it only confirms what a miserable piece of crap this superintendent is. He is so full of himself that he doesn't even know what an ignorant jerk he really is. Complete lack of professionalism!

Actually, he did the right thing. If you weren't there, shut up.

Sorry asshole but I WAS there. I don't care how full of shit RL's answers were, you don't treat an adult the way McDrunk treated him. So go get your nose out of McCarthy's ass and shut the fuck up!

Must you have such a potty mouth?

The mayor won't hire anyone that he can't control.

Guys let's not be stupid! Come on, we all know that all the people Midget Mayor hired he did not put out of a hat. They just cover each others shit and help each other while faken everything in sight. With Barry Obama in the big house they thought they wore home scott free that the laws made for us to live like human bns do not apply to them. Barry H. Obama is in for a treat when he gets that nice envelope that will say "inpeachment"... Bout Ahmad Comptroller let's ask Obama which of his Cartel buddies helped getting comptroller the fake Mexican Passport and what favors he owes to them that Obama wants 3.5 billion dollars for the border?
