Anita Blames ISP
Not content with just pandering and such, Anita goes for "blame" as a political strategy:
- Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez said Thursday that a backlog at the Illinois State Police crime lab was responsible for a nearly one-year delay in processing key DNA evidence that has led to charges against a Chicago Police commander for allegedly putting a gun in a suspect’s mouth.
Glenn Evans, commander of the Harrison District on the West Side, allegedly put his .45-caliber pistol “deep down” the suspect’s throat last year. Evans also allegedly held a Taser to the man’s groin and threatened to kill him unless he led officers to the gun he was allegedly carrying.
Evans, 52, one of police Supt. Garry McCarthy’s most trusted commanders, was charged Wednesday with official misconduct and aggravated battery, both felonies. He was released Thursday without having to post bond and was able to avoid reporters when he was allowed to go through a ceremonial door rarely used at the courthouse.
Hasn't County learned from the last time someone was allowed to sneak out a back door? Monique Bonds said the State Police testing process was normal and nothing in the paperwork indicated that there was a "rush" on the testing kits, thoug she admitted a "rush" job means 3-to-4 months anyway.

Hey SCC, complainant said that Cmdr also put a taser against his groin. When was the last time you ever saw a Cmdr walking around with a taser?! I would see Cmdr in question once in a while on the street, but never with a Taser. Doesnt radio room keep log of who signs tasers in/out? Funny if the date in question doesnt show him signing out a taser. Sounds like bullshit to me. DNA from gun can easily be explained.
Priority lab testing is 3-4 months. Good enough for government work I guess.
Should have stripped, cleaned and oiled his gun.
Why does Chicago even have to ask the State for any lab results? -Can't we do it better ourselves? YES! We can!
ISP Lab is a joke......
I my experience, I would not be surprised if they screwed some stuff up!!!!
Chicago Police Department should do all their own testing as they did from the 1930's to 1990's. ISP Lab ran by civilians and all Lab people civilian.
Put all State Troopers in their. Next big scandal.......ISP Lab!
Det.
“If priority is indicated, it usually takes three to four months,” Bond said.
And if we delay long enough, maybe the victim will get discouraged and leave us alone.
Trust Anita, she know what is going on.
There is a long holiday weekend coming up. Lets all try to make it a peaceful one. Keep the gunfire to a bare minimum, and stay safe.
Karma's a bitch!!!!!! this makes my day! He is a racist as well!! Bout time some boss finally got war he deserved! They think they can do whatever and their shit don't stink. Fuck commanders Evans!!! Good bye you piece of shit!!! Hahaha!
You know those movie scenes where the heroic police officer grinds his pistol into the criminal's face?
They are Movies, Not Real Life!
Up in cheeseland our crime labs are backed up but not that backed up. What is a problem is the backlog in drugged driving blood testing -- up to a year. Faster if the test is for alcohol only.
I don't know him, but I will go to any fundraiser for Commander Evans. We need more like him, not the suck hole politicians that hold so many exempt positions these days.
Let him go.
Commander Glen Evens is one of the best boss the working Police ever had!

The headlines were mighty interesting to me today. In one Anita Alvarez says of Glenn Evans that sometimes good people do bad things. In the other, David Koschman's mother's suit against the dept and Alvarez and company is tossed for exceeding the statute of limitations. What irony. Did Anita make any comments about her own office being sued today?
They should let anyone who chose to exit the side door if it is to foil the news cameras. The media only uses this tactic to leave the impression of guilt. In that they harass and chase certain groups of people to waiting vehicles.
This tactic is never used on real or harden criminals. I ask why not.
All out of proportion. At best Agg Assault. Misdemeanor......
This should not be in the news.
There are far worst things to report. Like why the 11 ward Alderman really isn't running. Because he voted to sell all the cities assets with DALIY Inc operating
He'll be made an example of even if he didn't do it. Can't have another Ferguson here.
Leather face does what she is told by the powers that be.
As far as the case is concerned, the best chance Cmdr Evans has is when he's assigned the judge in the case on his next court date. If he gets an intelligent, thoughtful judge, and they do exist, Evans has a chance.
Let's talk about how we are working without a contract.
Commander of Police Glen Evens doesn't deserve to get dragged in the mud, let him have his day in court and face his accuser.
If anyone who knows him knows he is a hard worker and is a law abiding individual. Let's not get into speculation.
Let the facts come out on both sides before passing judgement. We only heard one side. Keep an open mind.
As far as DNA on a gun, I'm sure I have some on mine. How many offenders are talking / spraying it while taking shit while you are covering them. Chases where you hold the gun next to him. Or the Offender loses his footing.
And no they can't tell were the DNA came from on the Offender. Mouth, Arm, Neck, sweat and ect.
The Commander had reason to come in contact with him. In this case that is all the DNA tells us.
I'm done, I hope I made my point. Let's wait for all the facts to come out.
Evans was allowed to exit 26th and cal from a rear entrance so reporters wouldn't be able to get shots of him leaving the building.
A blue shirt NEVER would of been allowed a back door exit. I know I wasn't.

Best of wishes to the commander. He made many neighborhoods safer and the citizens surely appreciated it. I hope the department and the communities will continue to show him support.
For those keeping score:
- White cop defends himself against black attacker charging him in Ferguson = riots.
- Black cop feeds a gun to black suspect on the ground while holding a taser on his nuts = "Let him be! He kept the peace!"
WHO exactly are the racists here?
wonder how many pensions this bond woman is up to now.
must be nice.
Hey - How do I get a job at the state police crime lab? Sounds like a nice clout job where you never break a sweat.
This is a GREAT example of bureaucratic BS and the agencies point at each other for whose fault it is.
Maybe it's time to kick out the clouted and hire some people that will put in an honest day's work.
OR privatize it. But if they privatize it in Illinois, it probably would go to some "clouted" firm that doesn't deliver either (good example - the company running the Lottery)
Let's start by voting out the incompetent leaders of all these agencies. Anita can be one of the first.
How about 24 hrs.
Charges will be dropped down the road..
SOL!
Move on!
How can they still have those backlogs, when $75 of every CCW permit sold goes to the crime lab budget? With 80,000+ permits that's a pretty major influx of cash.
Oh, let me guess -- just like the FOID processing branch of ISP, they didn't hire anyone new, instead the same people are hoarding overtime to pad their own pension?
How does Glen Evans get charged while Lt Dennis Walsh, Dean the Dream and good ole Yawger remain free, on the job, unstripped and uncharged?
A year and a half to bring these charges.
Total bullshit.
Can you imagine if this was a white Commander there would be riots all over but it's a black Commander and the uproar isn't as bad. Glen was a great copper though and I wish him all the luck that he gets through this. If half the command staff had his sack it would be a great department to work for and a lot safer city to live in.
Hey 1:23 am - your a punk!!!
But the wait for illegal aliens to get free stuff.... Minutes.

Motorist With ISIS Flag Makes Bomb Threat Against Police
http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2014/08/28/motorist-with-isis-flag-makes-bomb-threat-against-police/
(STMW) – A man who had an ISIS flag waving from his vehicle is facing several charges after he threatened police with a bomb Wednesday morning when he was pulled over on the Southwest Side.
Emad Karakrah, 49, was charged with felony counts of disorderly conduct and aggravated fleeing; and a misdemeanor count of driving on a never-issued license, according to Chicago police. He was also issued three traffic citations.

Who said it was his taser? Explain it to us so easily
Where was the DNA swabbed from the gun? Doesn't he ever clean his gun? If it was only incidental contact, how was there enough DNA transferred that it was still there a MONTH later? Evans seems thoroughly f*cked.
ISP lab is far from a joke. DNA cases take a ton of work. These cases can't be turned around in a week or two like a drug case.
The CPD lab was far from perfect. They had huge backlogs, in all sections. Daley was happy to save the money and have the state take over. The city could never afford to open a lab of their own.
Another e ample of black on black allegation , no story here , assaulted a city employee over water shut off , merit merit oh boy , heavy heavy , full commanders pay working?
Bleach, folks, bleach. It kills all DNA.
To the idiot comparing this to Ferguson. Your a moron.

WOW! Y0u are absolutely correct. And the same can be said for all those named in the Koschman case, right? I mean, there is more evidence against the Commander than for anyone in the Koschman case so we should not be so quick to condemn them too, right?
Not to be picky, but, shouldn't the Police Department for the Third Largest City in the USA have ITS OWN CRIME LAB? One capable of processing all crime evidence, including DNA?
Not something extravagant like shown on TV -- CSI, CSI NY, CSI Miami -- but a basic fricken CRIME LAB with competent (Certified) Lab Techs. Or is that too much to ask from the tax paying suckers in Chicago and all of Illinois?
I'd wager 98% of Illinois residents don't have a clue that the CPD doesn't have its own 'full scale' Crime Lab.
The Leftkow Murders DNA results in two days.
I hear Evans is rejoicing and talking s*#t because the DNA swabs have been thrown out and that his attorney's plan on saying they want them independently tested. What ?? No swabs?? That means no evidence!! That means not a fair trial! If true I hope they're not really hanging their hat on that defense. the results are the results. ISP crime lab tested them and it wasn't good for Evans. Plus a few POs have spilled the beans at grand jury. I agree to wait til it all comes out. But when it does it won't be good even if they lesson the charges.
OT --
The Tribune censored this story, removing any mention of ISIS. Just a citation for "object obstructing driver's vision." The flag.
Nice try.
The Sun-Times gave it the proper lead.

Man with ISIS flag on vehicle threatens cops with bomb
"A man who had an ISIS flag waving from his vehicle is facing several charges after he threatened police with a bomb Wednesday morning when he was pulled over on the Southwest Side.
"Emad Karakrah, 49, was charged with felony counts of disorderly conduct and aggravated fleeing; and a misdemeanor count of driving on a never-issued license, according to Chicago Police. He was also issued three traffic citations.
"Someone called police after seeing a “suspicious person” driving a silver Pontiac southbound in the 7700 block of South Kedzie at 9:18 a.m. with an ISIS flag waving out the window, according to a police report.
"Officers attempted to pull over the vehicle, but the driver took off, according to the report. The officers called for assistance, and another officer pulled the vehicle over after it went through several red lights.
"The man told police during his arrest that there was a bomb in the car and he would detonate it if they searched the vehicle, according to the report.
"A bomb squad, the FBI and Homeland Security responded to the scene and searched the vehicle, but no bomb was found, authorities said.
"Judge Laura Sullivan ordered Karakrah held on a $55,000 bond Thursday. He is next scheduled to appear in court on Sept. 3."

anita....the best and brightest
You know this outrage against Evans is indicative of our city complaining about crime yet be nice to the offenders. F them, if someone raped or shot your child I am sure you would want the police to do whatever was needed to get the offender or info. I support you and pray for you all. Not all of us are believing the hype. Many of us see your lack of support from the city and the scapegoat bs they put on you. Where the f is the outrage for the execution of a 9 yr old?????
Water based, acidic liquids do horrible things to a gun's finish, even stainless steel. A little cleaning solvent and gun scrubber does wonders to keep your equipment fresh and like-new, allowing you to wear it for years to come.
I understand that there have been coppers with substantiated allegations. But there are those, like Alvarez who hastily go after coppers, painting them all bad....
Hey Alvaez, you go after or point out the shithead bangers that walk because of your "back log" or a liberal judge thinking little Johnny will turn his life around...maybe if I dont send him away.
You want to whine about back log....its evidence....not someone who got 10 plea deals and is now taking someones life..... truth hurts.
ahhh thank you....i feel so much better
He's an example of the kind of Police boss that we used to have and the kind that should be leading or men and women today this was not uncommon in the 60-70's when the gangs were under control because of bosses like him it's not our blue shirts that are the problem today
it's the politicians and bosses the men today would love to have worked back then it was a different world you were the boss on the streets.Ret. p/o
Remember, clean your holster too. DNA can rub off on the inside of it too.
Karma's a bitch!!!!!! this makes my day! He is a racist as well!! Bout time some boss finally got war he deserved! They think they can do whatever and their shit don't stink. Fuck commanders Evans!!! Good bye you piece of shit!!! Hahaha!
8/29/2014 01:23:00 AM
Your an ass!!! I've known glen a long time, he treats all races the same. He has never pulled punches on anyone.
As usual, coppers throw other coppers under the bus. What about innocent until proven guilty? We have always been out own worst enemy, no wonder we keep getting screwed over.
CAn't the DNA be explained that he criminal spit on his gun? Or he grabbed it?
Justifying one persons bad actions by pointing to another person's bad actions is always a weak argument.
The real problem is that we wait for ever for DNA workups, on every case. We have money for every politicians BS crime reduction initiatives and every other BS give away program but we can not hire enough people to actually do this job. The ASA comes up with excuses for not charging, and the State Police mouth piece Ms. Bond, (former CPD mouth piece) has an excuse but the real problem is that it is absolutely criminal that an investigating detective has to wait this long to have evidence worked up. The system is flawed and the cop on the bottom always takes the blame for this. It is the fault of the political structure that got us to this point and they should answer for this problem.
We have been told numerous times over the last 3 years there is no more priority request taken for evidence and not to ask for it.
Evans had a run in with the local Aldercreature some time back. Wanna bet that same politician poked around to find some dirt on him. Evans was a boss from the old days who fought crime and didn't take any crap from anybody. Those days are gone and so is Evans. Hopefully he gets to take his pension and go.
Don't ruff the criminals up!

What a hateful comment! What did Evans do to you? YOu should remember the Karma comment as you go through life as you just wished a person bad luck.
Change the use of forces so gangbanger(urban terrorist) should received daily beating by law enforcement but instead they get housing vouchers,link cards,phones,ssi, and much more so they can populate giving democrats votes.
Poor poor gang banger he was only gonna shoot someone. Evans deserve award for taking a gang banger gun away.
Evans for mayor.. He would clean up this city.
Evans don't like gang bangers so the aldermen and reverends don't like him. Remember drug money goes along way.
Liberals are terrible leaders.

Nevermind the fact that if it was you accused of it you'd, by now, have an asshole so wide you could drive the Burlington Zepher thru it. And if you were white they'd be burning down Madison ave.......again.
O.T. But worth noting,
IC Parents, I was made aware of a situation today that I think you need to know. A man, who appears to be mentally challenged, is appearing throughout the neighborhood. He has been dressing up like a scary bloody clown and then goes to parks and tries to scare or chase kids. He's been seen at Olympia and Brooks Park. I was told he's been arrested twice but released. Both the soccer and football coaches are aware of the situation, but I believe that you also should know so that your children can be protected.

I read comment after comment about race baiting. Then the same people on here crying about race baiting...do the same thing. Point of clarification: do I believe Ofc.Wilson fired his weapon because of Brown's race? Absolutely and unequivocally no. Do I understand why people think so? Yes. The real problem I have is that the people who SHOULD know better perpetuate this garbage for their own benefits. It takes a lot of progression, achievement and self-education to ignore that your whole life you have heard how racist white people are and how they hate you. When I say "fear" and a lack of trust is learned at an early age concerning white people...I mean it literally. To get passed that you have to ignore the generations of people, still alive, in your family who had crosses burned on their property, who were literally threatened with death if they did not move out of town etc. My partner just told me that his grandfather had a collection of newspapers from the 40s with headlines and photos of lynchings with racial slurs. This is not defending that foolishness because we are quick to check that nonsense whenever somebody tries to pull that card. It is still ironic to me that people want to say well who is the racist now? Truth be told if I had a dollar for everyime I heard someone say the black officers are worse than the white officer because the black officers have something to prove...I'd be rich. And I've only heard black people say that. So I guess we all raycis together office.
An old school guy just doing his job...best wishes for a speedy and not-guilty trial Commander!
And have to add to this earlier post: ...Put all State Troopers in their. Next big scandal.......ISP Lab!
How about putting them on the expressways where they belong? Not meant offensive but when CPD white hats were out there-at least they were out there and seen! That was the agreement when ISP 'took over' the expressways. Do it better-my ass!
District Chicago has Troops bumping into each other!
Sorry, Off topic: To the police-related group at Sabatino's Thursday night. Not sure who was worse, the loudmouth (who referred to HIMSELF more than once by first and last name, but I won't post it here) or the three who didn't have the sense to shut him up. Could you not get a clue, police wife (who broadcasted her vanity plate to the room), when two entire tables chose to relocate into the back room in mid-meal? Were you so self-absorbed (well, yeah, you were) that you didn't notice others in the room rolling their eyes, glaring at you, begging their waiters to muzzle the foul-mouthed radio announcer voice in your group? One poor waiter said he didn't want to approach you 'because I think they're cops'. Nice.
No, instead we all heard too much about the kidnapping investigation and the door to door search, the not so funny story of stopping construction just as a joke, the speech on how there are clever ways, "if you get my drift", to deal with the fact that so-and-so's daughter is dating a black guy.
There were enough full-volume "bitches" and "fucks" and "pissed-offs" to make a sailor blush, not to mention that elderly lady sitting near you, but that mouth just kept going.
You don't know why your relationship with Trish fell apart, guy? (You really went on and on about her.) Because you haven't got a lick of common sense, you act like you're alone in some basement bar when you're in a white tablecloth dining establishment and your megaphone voice can (and did) clear an entire room. The finale, the loud, obnoxious telephone video chat with Erin, was so rude, a woman at another table started taking a video of YOU, behaving badly!
When you started blaring that you do a lot of golfing now, but not much else, no one was surprised. People at the other tables were nearly applauding when you shouted it was much better to get moving and not keep sitting. How disappointing, when it turned out you meant 'in general', instead of 'right now'. And you can lie til you die? Great line. Maybe not at top volume in a nice, quiet little restaurant, but hey, what do you care? Oh, and don't shout across the room at the bus boy and wave your empty glass in the air at him. It's really not cool and you're not all that special.
Bottom line, you are the folks who make people who don't even know the police, hate the police. Yes, and the city workers (before you correct me about the make-up of your entire group). Keep the bravado, the investigation details, the gutter mouth and the volume to your basement bar and try to act like a considerate adult out in public.
Let the de-policing begin citywide......
Hey 10g congrats on your win in Vegas on Cleve-5. U da man.
He is only in trouble because he told off the aldermen. The DNA on his gun is from the spitting

Now retired...Maybe, maybe not.
I used to work in the HQ Annex where the Crime Lab was located when HQ was at 11th and State. When the work was done by dedicated Police Officer techs, especially in Firearms and Tool Marks when it was their skilled eyes that did the painstaking work with the comparison microscopes then we did it as good as anywhere else.
Forensic work such as chemistry and serology were always way behind in terms of equipment and techniques. Lab conditions were not just antiquated they were hazardous.
When the work began to get more and more computerized we couldn't keep up with the demand and Shortshank's budget cutting and his the police be damned attitude. So the Crime Lab fell apart and the work got farmed out to the state.
Will we ever get it back? It would require a mayor who would rather spend millions to convict felons than build another monumental park on the lakefront.
(Is there enough space for a real Crime Lab in the new HQ building?)

Anita is such a spineless panderer that she has on French Army surrender panties...
All progressive dems do for that matter.
She's full of shit. IAD has had DNA tested in a matter of days on several occasions. Maybe IPRA doesn't know how to get it done, or maybe the ASA pissed off ISP.
She was a fantastic, for the police gangs prosecutor back in the day. Now she is just another lying political piece of shit!
Sounds like a set up. I've seen coppers go to call back for domestic battery yet this working commander puts a .... In his place he goes to jail ???!!! Sounds fishy. I hear the supposed victim is in jail doing time as we speak. Where the hell are our rights??????
OT
The Fop just sent out a copy of a letter from Atty Dan Herbert stating that he has information that the FBI, US Attny, and CCSA have begun a witch hunt looking over past police shootings where "no weapon" was recovered.
They suggest that NO officers talk to any of these investigators without legal counsel. You are NOT required to answer their questions because they are conducting a Criminal Investigation NOT an administrative investigation.
Don't even say "I don't know what you are talking about" because if they can prove you DO know what they are talking about they will threaten you with "lying to a federal agent"
Be respectful, and respectfully decline comment without legal representation.
It's obvious that they need to indict a few coppers to offset the fact that they can not indict the viper from ferguson MO.
On a separate note, all tact and SAT teams were out in uniform with helmets and gas masks until 5sept. Must be a NO BILL coming out of Ferguson soon.
Ms Anita should have called her former Dept Chief of investigations none other than ISP Director LiL Hiram. The one she tried to blow off the Koshman investigation on to and he started to shutter when that came along because he was the Dept Sup investigations at the time and was already in the bowl of soup with the others involved.NO balls either one of them.

Let's talk about how we are working without a contract.
---
We have a contract. It is still in effect until a new one is negotiated or arbitrated.
Things might have been further along had Mike Shields not screwed the pooch when the contract was about to expire. But hey, it was his first contract and I guess he expected a mulligan on that one.
It didn't have to happen that way but he fired everyone who actually knew anything. Let's hope that has been rectified.
Off topic but important: Hey, Mrs. Koschman, sorry that the judge tossed out that suit. However, all is not lost.
The judge said that you could have filed it in December of 2011.
At that time, you were being counseled by the People's Law Office and Northwestern.
Yet they didn't have you file suit then?
It's obvious that you have a legal malpractice claim against them. And don't worry, they have a lot of money and won't miss it.
Anita can be voted out right? Get out and vote in the next election and encourage your friends and family to do the same.
Commander Evans has always been a fair man.
Hmmmm.......Black on Black..... It's ok?

Anita is running for re-election and Evans is not related to the Daleys. Nothing changes in Chicago. Vote Demorat!
Ok guys just to set the record straight As a person who was present after the bond hearing for Cdr Evans., I must inform you all that we did not use the BACK DOOR as many of you think. We exited threw a set of large doors located on Upon the FRONT entrance of the building leading out to California blvd. happy now?
I blame Evans for letting that useless FU**TARD Lemmer ruin the district.While Evans was out "being the police" his right hand man chased many good supervisors and patrolmen away and destroyed morale in what was a godd place to work. WELCOME BACK COMMANDER WASHINGTON. Hopefully you can one again repair what some hack has messed up and are justly rewarded once you do.
Body cameras are coming.
"Citizens should know officers are being held accountable,” Chief Robert White told the Denver Post. "The only officers who would have a problem with body cameras are bad officers."

I don't cared if he is black,white or brown. What has happened to us we are supposed to support one another. Let's give him the chance to defend the charges brought aainst him. Yes, I know that there are some coppers who deserve what they get, as they have tarnished all the good , hard working officers who put their lives on the line every day.
I do not know this Commander, I hope he's a good guy who appreciates the men and women who work for him. Don't judge, go to the benefit, and thank your lucky stars it's not you that needs a fundraiser.

CAn't the DNA be explained that he criminal spit on his gun? Or he grabbed it?

And how would you explain DNA found deep in the barrel of the gun?
LAST OF THE Dicks from A-6 said...
The real problem is that we wait for ever for DNA workups, on every case. We have money for every politicians BS crime reduction initiatives and every other BS give away program but we can not hire enough people to actually do this job. The ASA comes up with excuses for not charging, and the State Police mouth piece Ms. Bond, (former CPD mouth piece) has an excuse but the real problem is that it is absolutely criminal that an investigating detective has to wait this long to have evidence worked up. The system is flawed and the cop on the bottom always takes the blame for this. It is the fault of the political structure that got us to this point and they should answer for this problem.
8/29/2014 01:53:00 PM
Got DNA results back from a couple burglary cases from SIX years ago. Statute of limitations long passed. Not kidding.
Regardless. The commander is in deep trouble. He will have to retire after this fiasco and move on.
This is suppose to be our police blog meaning blue....We should all refrain from bashing one another and try sticking together as one....I'm just saying! Let's keep Commander Evans in prayer and positive thoughts...whatever happened to uniformity and brotherhood!
I don't know Comander Evans, I have been retired a long time, but I'll tell you this. The People's Law Office is behind this. They are your enemy. An enemy of my enemy is my friend. Good luck Commander. Wise up people.
(OT) this to worry about and now British prime minister has put there terror alert on the highest level,while Obama says he has no plan to deal with terror then goes to a wedding and golfing! Be careful boys and girls!
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/interactive/2014/08/29/joint-intelligence-bulletin-082214/
Then we send what 500 coppers a day to protect illegals and savages instead of protecting our important assets and taxpayers!
"""I don't know him, but I will go to any fundraiser for Commander Evans. We need more like him, not the suck hole politicians that hold so many exempt positions these days."""
"""Commander Glen Evens is one of the best boss the working Police ever had!""""
Nevermind the fact that if it was you accused of it you'd, by now, have an asshole so wide you could drive the Burlington Zepher thru it. And if you were white they'd be burning down Madison ave.......again.
8/29/2014 03:11:00 PM
Madison Ave in NY, Madison STREET is in Chicago
We all have DNA...forever. And the testing for it has been around for at least 20 years. Just saying.
Anonymous said...
Where was the DNA swabbed from the gun? Doesn't he ever clean his gun? If it was only incidental contact, how was there enough DNA transferred that it was still there a MONTH later? Evans seems thoroughly f*cked.
ISP lab is far from a joke. DNA cases take a ton of work. These cases can't be turned around in a week or two like a drug case.
The CPD lab was far from perfect. They had huge backlogs, in all sections. Daley was happy to save the money and have the state take over. The city could never afford to open a lab of their own.
8/29/2014 08:59:00 AM
What would it cost to open a crime lab?
You can be both a psycho, AND a Police Commander on the CPD, as long as you keep kicking back part of your salary to the Democrat (Communist) Party.
Hey SCC, complainant said that Cmdr also put a taser against his groin. When was the last time you ever saw a Cmdr walking around with a taser?! I would see Cmdr in question once in a while on the street, but never with a Taser. Doesnt radio room keep log of who signs tasers in/out? Funny if the date in question doesnt show him signing out a taser. Sounds like bullshit to me. DNA from gun can easily be explained.
8/29/2014 12:26:00 AM
ATTENTION, Simple Simon:
When was the last time you saw a Commander walking around with a Bag, briefcase, etc. that could easily conceal a taser?

Now, the city will try the reward approach, with "prize patrols" cruising alleys.
"If everything in that cart is as it should be, and the right materials are in there, they give the resident a $50 Jewel card," Williams said, adding that the card will actually be delivered in the mail.
another way to pay for a vote.. PERFECT TIMING
As far as DNA on a gun, I'm sure I have some on mine. How many offenders are talking / spraying it while taking shit while you are covering them. Chases where you hold the gun next to him. Or the Offender loses his footing.
ATTENTION, Shit-for-Brains:
It doesn't work like that. With a brain like yours, you will soon be in prison if you are the police. However, if you are on the Fire Department, you are perfect for the job. Have you ever heard of Forensic Biology?
Some sheep don't like sheep dogs, because they bark and chase them back to safety. They don't like that they are willing to go out and meet the wolves and do violence.
They think they can make friends with the wolf by chastising the sheep dog.
Sheep are dumb! They are dangerous when they turn on the sheep dog!
I am glad to be retired! I will pray for you who labor on!

The crime lab could work up a dna buccal swab and match it within 24 hours. That would require the state paying the lab scientist that many hours overtime, which needs authorization from higher ups, and we all know how that goes. It's been done on emergency basis. Just sharing into....
Sweet Lord...
We just want to live long enough to see what happens when all these left wing interests and smart people like Rahm succeed in making The Police go away.
We wanna SEE what all the plotting, scheming, lying and bullshitting about policing is going to neet all of this who are in on the joke somehow...

Why does Chicago even have to ask the State for any lab results? -Can't we do it better ourselves? YES! We can!
8/29/2014 01:09:00 AM<<<
Now retired...Maybe, maybe not.
I used to work in the HQ Annex where the Crime Lab was located when HQ was at 11th and State. When the work was done by dedicated Police Officer techs, especially in Firearms and Tool Marks when it was their skilled eyes that did the painstaking work with the comparison microscopes then we did it as good as anywhere else.
Forensic work such as chemistry and serology were always way behind in terms of equipment and techniques. Lab conditions were not just antiquated they were hazardous.
When the work began to get more and more computerized we couldn't keep up with the demand and Shortshank's budget cutting and his the police be damned attitude. So the Crime Lab fell apart and the work got farmed out to the state.
Will we ever get it back? It would require a mayor who would rather spend millions to convict felons than build another monumental park on the lakefront.
(Is there enough space for a real Crime Lab in the new HQ building?)
8/29/2014 05:05:00 PM
The city was going to build a new crime lab and police station like the first district building just west of the IL crime lab on Roosevelt rd. they were going to have all ETs work out of their half of the building with the crime lab. Than millennium park started the usual cost overruns. The land went to the new FBI headquarters and we got "The Bean"!
Shit for brains - wow aren't you Einstein - that guy might not be the sharpest - but your a "PUNK" forensic biology! I'd love to "meet" you some day! PUNK
Why isn't the commander at call back? He could be the commander there and see first hand what it's like when officers get placed there.
CAn't the DNA be explained that he criminal spit on his gun? Or he grabbed it?
8/29/2014 01:38:00 PM
Wouldn't that have to be explained or documented in the case or arrest report? Can't go back in time and redo the reports
OT, to the eavesdropper at Sabatino's, you sure seemed pretty interested in the conversation the cop and city workers were having. Just sayin.
Oh, and btw, this wouldn't be an issue if the unruly boors were any other profession, say, lawyers or mechanics? Very subtle way to slam cops for being human, nice. Let's pick apart your next drunken celebration and post all of your faux pas' to a public blog. And for the record, Sabatino's, despite the white tablecloths and pricy menu, has always been an establishment with a thin veneer of respectability. Shady lawyers, politicos, and mobsters have always dined there, so get over yourself, you elitist snob.

Multiply this by 10 or 20 across the area every night. Some people are just assholes. Too bad we all get painted with same brush.
If you are a copper, you should have went over and politely told him to quiet down. Should have done that even if you aren't a cop. And shame on the staff for not speaking up. They have coppers in there every night, so they should be comfortable dealing with these loudmouths by now!
That place isn't cheap. I wouldn't let anyone get away with ruining my meal!

8/29/2014 11:24:00 PM
Well, not really ,but I would be willing to bet that the jury also has not heard of this and will be willing to give a good cop the benefit of the doubt. Or, at least I hope so. But, the moral of this story is never threaten to do something that you really know you would not do. It is embarrassing if your bluff is called.
Damn, It sounds like he was just doing his job. I feel sorry for you kids coming on this stinking job nowadays!
Karma's a bitch!!!!!! this makes my day! He is a racist as well!! Bout time some boss finally got war he deserved! They think they can do whatever and their shit don't stink. Fuck commanders Evans!!! Good bye you piece of shit!!! Hahaha!
8/29/2014 01:23:00 AM
Obviously you don't know Glenn. You must be one of those who is a dog ass because if you knew him you would know he could give a shit less if you were black, white, blue, green, grey, or purple. Although Glenn didn't like dogs, he still took care of them. Saw on numerous days how he reduced discipline or deleted it all together, and that was for coppers that he didn't even know.
You are right, Karma is a bitch and it will come back on you and bite you in your ass you POS!
As for leaving out the back door at 26th Street, that is a total lie. We, (and I said we because I was one of the officers who walked out with the boss), came out thru a door on the front side of California. The media didn't realize we had walked out because they were too busy listening to Anita Alvarez's crony spitting lies about the Commander.
Very interesting though, why did IPRA destroy the buccal swabs after the ISP finished the testing. Commander now can't get his own independent testing done.
Sorry boys and girls, this weak ass case won't see the light of day of a trial.
Keep your head up boss. I got your back because you have always had the back of your troops.

While I'm glad you took the time to publically embarrass this jackass, I doubt he'll change. Probably would have made a few friends for the police if you'd called him out that night.
I have, on occasion, pointed bad behavior out. It's MY profession they are ruining. I am sure Mr. Bigmouth though I was an asshole, but I can live with that. It's up to us to muzzle our co-workers sometimes. Some REALLY need to be called on it. Part of the problem or part of the solution? It's up to you.
Anita, Anita, another posture to charge a copper? Kind of in a hurry? Maybe because it's election time? Why are there no term limits you really need to resign for everyone's sake!

O.T. But worth noting,
IC Parents, I was made aware of a situation today that I think you need to know. A man, who appears to be mentally challenged, is appearing throughout the neighborhood. He has been dressing up like a scary bloody clown and then goes to parks and tries to scare or chase kids. He's been seen at Olympia and Brooks Park. I was told he's been arrested twice but released. Both the soccer and football coaches are aware of the situation, but I believe that you also should know so that your children can be protected.

Posted earlier: "....that your whole life you have heard how racist white people are and how they hate you..."
So, are you saying black people are not racist and just love... scratch that...how about simply 'like' white people, hispanics etc?
@ 8/30/2014 03:51:00 PM
Sounds like some of the men need to step up and kick the shit out of an ass that desperately needs it since arrest is not correcting the problematic behavior.

No I'm not saying black people cannot be racist.I don't even recall addressing that.I'm saying people don't understand personality conflicts anymore because they inject race into stuff. For example, you're white and you know a white guy that's a douchebag. You don't say he's a douche to me because I'm white, you just say he's a douche. Well said white douchebag acts his normal self to a black guy and all of a sudden the black guy think he's being a douche because he doesn't like black people. People have not trained their minds to see the myriad of possibilities why something may have occurred. I take the time to have discussions like that with people who are willing to listen even if they don't know better. They may hear it better from me as opposed to someone else (regardless of race, gender whatever).
No wonder he cursed out the Alderman, why didn't he stuff his gun down the Alderman's mouth too?

Tryin' to hang on and just fuckin' airythang up...
Tore the carpeting off the stairs.
Snatched the bannisters out the walls...
Knocked the fuck out of that cast iron radiator that's been sitting on that on the landing mindin' it's own damn bidness since 1890
Plaster and splinters flying every which way.
Wig askew, drawers awry and airythang else turned around backwards... What a mess.
Happy Labor Day to all y'all Po-leece out there.
