The Hammer Falls
- One of Chicago Police Supt. Garry McCarthy’s most valued commanders was charged Wednesday with official misconduct and aggravated battery for allegedly putting his gun in a suspect’s mouth last year, officials said.
Cmdr. Glenn Evans, who has been in charge of the Harrison District on the West Side, was stripped of his badge and gun earlier Wednesday.
Evans is scheduled to appear in bond court on Thursday on the charges, which are both felonies.
In a statement Wednesday night, McCarthy said: “The alleged actions, if true, are unacceptable to the both the residents we serve and to the men and women of this department. As soon as we were made aware of the charges Commander Evans was relieved of his police powers, pending the outcome of this matter. Like any private citizen, the commander is innocent until proven guilty and we need to allow this case to proceed like any other. We will cooperate fully with prosecutors.”
Well, that's not quite true - WBEZ had this report up weeks ago. This has been simmering since January of 2013 according to the IPRA file. Again, it's two or three levels of discipline. An Officer would have been sitting at callback months ago.
And guess who's having a field day with this misstep?
And guess who's having a field day with this misstep?
- Evans was in the news in March when he and Ald. Jason Ervin (28th) got into a heated confrontation that ended with a warning for the alderman to leave the Harrison District’s parking lot or be arrested.
[...] Ervin released a statement saying that Evans needs to be replaced immediately.
“I am apprehensive about McCarthy’s selection process,” he said.
Yeah, we've had the same complainant about the aldercreature selection process, too. In any case, another bit of drama to make the Department look bad.

If he only stripped and cleaned his weapon regularly?
It made front page news at the Los Angeles Times. A Tribune owned newspaper.
Let me preface this by saying I'm not a Gary fan. However, can anyone name one officer since he took over that was wrongfully fired or wrongfully prosecuted like what happened under Jfled? Point is like him or not Gary is pro police. And although he stood by one of his Commanders as expected I believe he would do the same for a PO.
Eager to hear from those who claimed "there's more to this story."
I work in 025 and I have to say it is a pleasure coming to work. No BS with our Commander.
This is just bad all the way around. I know of two or three detectives and a lieutenant in the Kochsman Daley cover up that just shit themselves. If they did this to a connected commander, guess what boys? I guarantee they are coming for you also.
Well Eric Zorn and WBEZ, you just got what you wanted. Now the west side community can sell drugs and kill each other through a victory advocated by you both.
The west-side gang bangers and their alderman couldn't thank you enough.
Great job!
Here's an idea. Have the beat officers in the district vote for a new commander from their ranks. I guarantee that their choice would be awesome.
America
What is the fixation with foreign objects and criminal orifices?
For better or for worse...whether you like the guy or not...and I have my own negative opinions of him...this guy worked his butt off with good intentions. Very misdirected and not always smart but he worked many hours a day trying to serve the community by keeping these assholes in check. once again, he didn't realize he was living in different times and not always a guy young officers should be exposed to because he could get them jammed up legally, but he wasn't out there stealing money. Just thought we should keep that in mind as we start with all the inevitable comments that we shouldn't be airing out in public. I also feel his style of policing was fed by an anger and frustration of what his own people were doing to each other and his embarrassment over that fact. I was not a fan but I think I could see where he was coming from. I believe the same day he saw this guy on the corner with a gun a 3 year old had been shot. Anyone think that's ok?
Hey boss remember when you came out of your office a couple weeks ago with some bosses bigger than you and you were screaming at the desk 'oh please don't fire me I need this job' and to 'put this on the blog'? Guess what tough guy? We never did then and we didn't have to now put anything on the blog. YOU DID DUMBASS. You put this on the blog and on every news station. You alone fucked yourself and now it is time to pay the piper. Let this be a lesson to every officer hear in 011 that likes to drink the cool aid that the asshole white shirts try to feed you. IF THEY CHARGED A COMMANDER FOR "BEING DA POLICE" YOU BETTER BET YOUR ASS IS GONNA GET FRIED IF YOU FUCK UP. The two officers in Garfield Park are next up on the chopping block for unlawful detention. And whats this about the 2 officers with Cmdr Evans when he 'allegedly' put pistol in dudes mouth???? Why aren't they charged too???? Answer, they gave testimony at grand jury against Evans. At least that a**hole Lemmer is already packed his bags. He is scared as all hell and ready to bail today. Maybe now 011 will get back to being a nice place to work.
I'm actually proud of commander Evans. He didn't take crap from the Alderman and he didn't take crap from the ghetto-rat whose mouth had commander evans's gun in it. Neither of which were law-abiding citizens. The only mistake Evans made was to not scrub his pistol clean and submerse it in bleach for a few days. I wish every other boss in the city had 1% of the balls that Evans has. This dept would be way better off.
Holy shit. So the Cmdr is sitting in some cell right now? The guy has bust his ass for this city for decades and this is the thanks you get. One misstep, one allegation, one error and that's it. It's all wiped away. We aren't allowed any leeway, no mistakes. Perfection is demanded of us 24/7. Even off duty. We must be robots b/c nobody can live and work under those conditions. The Cmdr is a good man who fought hard for the good people of the city. I'm sorry to see this happening to him.
I'll stand with Glenn in public any and every day. Why is it that you, SCC, feel the need to take down police officers based on allegations. Dude is unavailable because he's in prison for other crimes but now we should send a stand up policeman to jail? You really suck on this one.
If they haven't considered the Capt from 18 for the open position, think about it. She has the experience running a district and I'm she would meet the qualifications established by the alderman for the position.
I looks like the Dept does a good job or making itself look bad. It doesn't need any outside help.
just like the federal government idiots everywhere.
How about the police chase yesterday with goof with the ISIS flag and said he had car full of explosives
The media didn't cover that huh?!?
Thats what happens when u fuck with an Alder creature!
"""Again, it's two or three levels of discipline. An Officer would have been sitting at callback months ago."""
In one sentence you have described how I came on a proud, agressive, productive PO and over 3 decades been transformed into a squeeking, unproductive, little mouse in blue. Flitting about avoiding one "Policey type shit" caper after another.
Its like an old timer once told me when I came on, "We didnt come on as dogs".
It only took one colonscope for this job to change me and it wont be repeated. I'd rather flit with all the other flitters.
and shit-head Ervin should be replaced asap
Bring back old Claudell Irvin as commander. He can have prayer meetings to take care of the crime problem.
As someone who has gone through this whole scenario, I wouldn't wish this on any PO. The stress, the media attention, the fate of your pension take a toll on your physical and mental health.
Dear unpublished idiot,
WBEZ didn't get their info here - WBEZ scooped everyone with this a onth or more ago.
We quoted their article asshat.
As for your "court of law" crack, if you read the WBEZ article, a Grand Jury had already been sitting and handed up an indictment weeks prior to their article - the basis for their article was "How is this guy under indictment yet still running a district?" And we pointed out "politics, duh."
So your entire argument is based on misunderstanding, ignorance and completely made-up information. Back to mommy's basement with you.
I'll stand with Glenn in public any and every day. Why is it that you, SCC, feel the need to take down police officers based on allegations. Dude is unavailable because he's in prison for other crimes but now we should send a stand up policeman to jail? You really suck on this one.
um...how?
everything we wrote is quoted directly from a media outlet. WBEZ had this a month or more ago, a Grand Jury indicted him based on the testimony of a number of involved people, including officers who were there, there's a fucking DNA match for god's sake.
so tell us again how this is our fault? we didn't stick anything in anyone's mouth and leave blueshirts out to dry.
For all the Phil Cline haters out there, Phil never threw a PO under the bus. He tried and convicted a PO in the media. The POS we have now gives Evans the benefit of the doubt. All blue shirts publicly accused during his tenure have been maligned by him in the media even before guilt was even proven.
Guess the wagon gets to take bullshit domestics again.....ha!

Yeah, and you got that shiner walking into a doorknob. Battered wife syndrome (in more ways than one). When he stops kicking me he is a good husband.
So the Superintendent advocates for allowing for the facts to be heard doesn't make him saint on this one. He put the wrong guy in and pressured him daily to make gold out of sand like he does all the Commanders. With that much pressure something is going to break. We have enough insanity on this job without the boss being crazy too.
I cannot understand why anyone on this job would speak up for the Superintendent. I honestly have never heard one person say a good word about the man. He is arrogant, egomaniacal and has closed himself off from all but one or two members of this
Department and those were the guys he brought in with him.
The Feds will handle the case now !
Glenn was his own worse enemy. He is a pretty good cop who works his ass off, but he has no administrative or political skills. McCarthy knew about Glenn's issues before he promoted him to commander. He was on the front of the sun times because he cost the city so much in lawsuits. I understand McCarthy wanting someone with Glenn's work ethic and balls, but he is also more than a little crazy. MCCarthy takes the blame for this in my book.
The timing is curious... With all the anti police sentiment and ferguson bs at the moment.
What is wrong with you all defending this guy? Stick your gun in someone's mouth, you should be fired and charged. There is no need for that and no possible justification, no matter what you think of the arrestee. And think about how he screwed the two officers with him. Even if they testified truthfully at grand jury and avoided charges, they could still be rule 14d based on reports and ipra statements. There's a guy who watches out for his fellow officers....
Here's my take, any shit head thats willing to eat a police man's gun should be taken off the streets he's clearly a danger to ALL conceal carry holder. Any one have vinegar be mine is already oiled up.
"Like any private citizen, the commander is innocent until proven guilty and we need to allow this case to proceed like any other."
Unless your name is Darren Wilson.
Well. It's a shame but this is going to be a long road for the commander and an expensive one. Also that gold braid pension or any pension at all just went down the toilet. Very sad.
Where is Lemmer going?
Too bad that they were never able to make a case on Ernie Brown! Glenn should have been more careful whose example he followed.
The Bottomless Pit never ceases to produce.
Release his home address!!Let
the Community March or Wait he's black so he gets a pass????
Why would you officers in 011 continue to do anything at work ? You continued to get shit on by the media and the savages !
Alderman Erving is all excited!
The poor slob still has no clout he is an Alderman with no steam.
But he sure does dress SNAZZY.

GMac is certainly not the brightest bulb in the lamp but he is definitely pro-police. Unfortunately, in this City you have to bow and scrape to little crumbs like the nine-fingered Napolean, who love throwing blue shirts under the bus. Hopefully the next Supe (coming soon) will also be pro-police.
like him or not, he was old school.....and, what has happened should be a prime example that society and the liberal dems do not want old school policing; no more aggressive, hands on policing...those days are gone
Captain Tom Lemmer, an exercise in futility........
If this did happen, why didn't he clean his weapon? Just what I'd want on my piece, some ghetto spit...
Why is it that you, SCC, feel the need to take down police officers based on allegations. Dude is unavailable because he's in prison for other crimes but now we should send a stand up policeman to jail? You really suck on this one.
So.....you want SCC to pick and choose the stories that are posted here? Much like the 2 Chicago rags, Sun-Times and Tribune, huh?
I read the post. And then after reading your comment, re-read it again. What's your problem with it?
Jeez, you sound like those whinny a**holes down in Ferguson bitching when the police released the video of Brown strong arming the store clerk for a box of cigars, calling it a "smear" campaign.
Listen up boys and girls, the writing on the wall cannot be any more clearer, a District Commander gets charged with putting a gun to an offenders mouth......I should be charged over, and over and over.......this is absurd. If they go after a clout heavy, reverend heavy, politically heavy male black commander, then you my blue shirted friend don't stand a chance in anything resembling police work if your actions come under scrutiny...... It's over, has been for a while, stay safe, get that pension, don't get hurt or extend yourselves because you are nothing but political fodder.......
Are They collecting bond money for him because I'm in for $500. Regardless of what you think of him keep in mind that they can do this to you too. Suspension? Maybe demotion? Probably but criminally indicted with 2 felonies? That's just BS
Glen Evans's throws par form's at police officers and sergeants and tells them to get out "his", district's. How about he get the fuck off this job! Such an individual should of never been put in a command position! Now he's jeopardize the livelihoods of other officers with his antics. I said before, he is an unpolished buffoon.
For all you little leaguers out there, clean your gun after putting in someone's mouth.....
Can you imagine if Evans was white, this city would be burned to the ground.
A DNA test result will not differentiate between saliva and sweat, just that the DNA code matches the person the swab came from. Each person has only one DNA code, there is not a different code to tell if the substance was sweat or saliva. If you chase a UUW suspect into a vacant house at night and find him hiding somewhere, its entirely possible you could draw down on the person and place your gun against their body, until they are searched and handcuffed, for officer safety reasons. Or do you say, "Excuse me sir, would you mind getting up from your hiding spot and place your hands on the wall so I can see if you still have the gun"?. What would you do?
If true, and appearently it is, this guy is an idiot. Yes, he can be a great copper, but the act itself shows stupidity at its highest level.
Should he be fired? Convicted? If true, yes.
Wake up and don't say the different times crap. The only thing the times had to do with it was clout getting you a.pass. Regular PO 1985 and you'd be fired. Probably not charged, but fired.
Yea, I know he is the real police, old school. Notwithstanding the available evidence, more than enough for a criminal charge, we do not know what happen and should not be judging. ___________ fill in the blank for the rest. Rest assured that if they nailed a commander, then they will have no problem going after a blue shirt. Being a police officer does not mean that the laws do not apply to you.
another good officer/boss that will be thrown under the bus by the department, democrat politicians, race pimps, liberal media and the rest of idiots that control this shit city. Roll up the window turn the air conditioner on and watch shitcago burn.
All you guys are So screwed
Eric Zorn....things go full circle, Eric. Remember that.
..did his teeth scratch the gun in any way ? ..glad I didn't go Beretta, but with S/W 5946 stainless..
People like that are no better than the criminals. That is why we teach ethics at the academy. You have to act professionally. At the academy, we teach you guys to do the right thing and act professionally. That is what happens when people think that they know better.
I bet shaky Chief Rivera from IAD is getting real nervous rite about now.....
I hate seeing a happy alderman.
Let's say it how it is, Cmdr. Evans towed the company line. He did exactly what the Mayor and Supt. asked him to (remember he self admittedly only answers to them) and when they asked him to clean up 3, that's what he did. He got the numbers where they wanted. Every single last person from the top down was completely aware of what needed to be done in order to fix this district, and that's why a loyal (or foolish, time will tell which) Commander was put there. Now let's see if that loyalty that the Cmdr. showed his bosses will be returned, or if he is hung to dry, like happens far too often. The latter is the common practice for those who forget where they came from or have never been there. For those of us who are not geneticist let's reserve judgement and remember DNA is transferred many ways (dripping sweat, touching, and spitting in the direction, on purpose or while yelling) and I think many of us have been wrongly accused in the past by people of lesser character. Are we all going to immediately take the word of a convicted felon, who has nothing to lose?
Evans is another affirmative action goof. Faced with a similar situation of briefly losing sight of an armed UW/Handgun offender, we kicked him in the ass, figuratively, and told him not to return to the area or he would risk arrest. After secreting myself in a nearby gangway I waited all of five minutes before Tyrell-his real name-returned to recover his Rolm .22 from a hole in a plaster ceiling in a westside apartment vestibule. He was arrested, weapon recovered, felony charges approved, and ultimately convicted by the most liberal of judges at 26th St. Hey Glen, hey Garry, this is why I'm not in handcuffs and instead I'm coming in as the DSS at 1330 hrs. today. But then again, you can't fix stupid.

Don't worry Adam, you got my vote!!!
SCC stated facts and actions are being questioned here,as they say actions speak louder than words! Actions get law suits,if proven wrongful actions!
Its terrible that Evans is going through this. He is the real deal. He is not afraid to be the police. I've worked under him through the years and he has always had our backs. It's incredibly sad that he has done so much and it's all for nothing. Everything down the drain!
I've seen him in action and he gets much respect from me. Make a list of his accomplishments and one of his screw ups and there will be a long list of accomplishments. The guy has made things happen! I'd like to see more bosses like him.
The bottom line is the department only wants contact cards and codes. That's all.
One last thing, we're going to need people like Evans when all the riots, looting, insanity starts because Ferguson has made a way for these fools to act up here. And its starting.....
For better or for worse...whether you like the guy or not...and I have my own negative opinions of him...this guy worked his butt off with good intentions. Very misdirected and not always smart...
And therein lies the problem with our meritorious promotee's and politically appointed exempt staff-very misdirected and not always smart.
The Commander was a worker/leader, not a boss that tells you how he used to work, or a PPO who did a year on 1st watch and then went to days, to Det. and then Sgt. in 5 years, or a phone call hack that got involved in a few cases and needs to tell you how he earned his spot. Sure could use a few more working leaders. Let's give him his day in court and support him. There are many times the commander supported the working PO. Nothing has been proven!
I am sorry but what is wrong with sticking your gun barrel in a prisoner's mouth. Am I missing something?
I couldn't help but giggle when I saw our Use of Force Model in the background of that photo of Evans. Irony in its most subtle form.
All you hard chargin', Company Koolaid drinkin' young bucks pay particular attention to this historical moment in CPD history:
the CCSAO has just indicted/criminally charged a commander of police. WIth the exception of Jon Burge, I can't recall recently anyone this high up the CPD food chain that's faced felony counts, retired or - especially - active.
This mans abilities to get things done the 'Old School Way' had people singing his praises. From [some] politicians, to the upper management of the department, to the people in the districts where he worked, just about everybody loved his style. That is, at least up until the point where some shitbag's DNA turned up on the barrel of his service weapon.
The only thing wrong with this style of policing is that it had to go the way of the dinosaur many years ago. Advances in various technologies coupled with our extremely biased disciplinary system has declared even mildly aggressive proactive policing DOA.
And when just about every cellular telephone became capable of recording HD video is when coppers with the strongest self-preservation skill set knew the age of real policing had begun its death throes.
The writing's been on the wall for quite some time now. Society as a whole has demanded a reactionary police force, so give them the police they want. Arrive after-the-fact to document whatever has taken place and take people to jail on signed complaints only. Save going that extra mile for family, friends, good neighbors and trusted coworkers and let nature run its course in the jungles. Do what you have to to keep YOUR neighborhood safe and savage-free, and let the rest burn. It really can't be any more clear that this is what they want.
If they charged a commander, what do you think they'll do when the next blue shirt that steps on his dick, whether by accident or otherwise? And with subordinates singing like canaries to a Grand Jury (what's that, you say? The two officers on scene with Evans that day that participated in the arrest of the shitbag complainant walked away clean as a whistle???) to save their own hides, it ought to be a pretty airtight case, even by Cook County prosecution standards.
As the BCP reminds us from time to time, police like you have no friends. This ain't your daddy's Police Department - adapt accordingly.
A shame. The old ways are definitely over. Let rome burn...
Known Evans nearly 20 years. Worked with him in the projects. I stand behind him and would work with him any fuckin day!
I'm sure 3rd watch in 011 is overjoyed. Because he disrupted their program...such as it was. But they oughtta be thanking him for ridding them of 1 completely mental Sgt, 1 SUPER LIBERAL Sgt, and nearly ridding them of 1 Complete jackass of a Sgt. Despite what else they think, they can't deny 3rd watch was made a better watch to work 10 fold.
Send Commander Washington back to 011th District!
OT: It looks like a prior poster in the comment section was right on when they said that people are being reassigned from the Academy to safe passage. The State just announced that it is giving CPS 10 million for additional safe passage routes and they are adding more schools to the program. Get your duty belts ready academy staff, your hitting the streets on the 2nd and 3rd watches respectively.
Since he's black its ok with the fine citizens of the west side. If he was white they would be tearing the west side apart what's left of it.
Once this hits the courts, they will also add armed violence to his charges. This guy might actually do some time. Very sad day in CPD history. If you claim policeman weren't doing anything before these charges were brought again the commander, just wait and see what happens now. Cops won't do anything proactive. Let the south and west sides burn. Who cares anymore. They got what they wanted.
Bottom line is I hope he didn't fuck himself and straight out lie to IPRA, the obviously saw something there to send it to the ASA'S. If he said that he had his gun in his hand and placed it up against the guys head area while subduing him or something believable, but not to note anything on a report and then this guys DNA come up on a personal piece of gear, AKA: YOUR GUN is bad, I used to clean and oil my gun every payday, that was an old HBT training trick, it took about 10 mins, but I am not going to quarterback this, we all have done at least 1 stupid thing we should have been either fired or locked up on this job, and if you say " NOT ME" then you were never the working police.
Mr. Moneybags says....
Any PO or Supervisor who was berated or belittled by this goof stands to collect handsomely now.
File your suits, slam dunk kids.
I understand that DNA has become the Holy Grail of evidence, but I still have questions about it that should concern all of us. DNA matching is an exact science, but the transferring of DNA seems a little fuzzy to me. Do we know if it was actually saliva recovered from Evans' weapon? Can they actually determine where on the weapon they recovered the DNA? Over the years the handle of my weapon has made contact with numerous offenders: bumping into them, wrestling with them, etc. Think of how many times you have walked an offender that was moving around, yelling, screaming, shirtless, sweating profusely and you and your partner are struggling to get him to your car and you are holding him on your gun side because your partner has the offenders other side. Here is a thought that should worry all of us..if I touch an offender that is sweating from either running, fighting or just a hot summer day and then later touch my weapon to put it in the lockbox have I just transferred his DNA to my weapon?
I am in no way attempting to defend Evans. Only two people know what happened that day and that is Evans and the arrestee. But I am worried about the rash of bullshit complaints that will mirror this allegation. If DNA transfer can be that easy we all need to be concerned about it.

8/28/2014 03:05:00 AM
That happened in 008 guy arrested order if this was a "test" using this pos to check the outcome! Long chase, lucky no innocents hurt!
Not just stripped, but charged already,Anita as usual who called you? What alderman or elected pos forced your political hand? Policing of any aggressive nature is dead, if you do pro active policing please see a psychology professional today! There goes his name,freedom,pension,savings, etc... Yes he was insane but his methods worked, now if they would do this to a connected hard working commander what does that say for a lowly blue shirt? At 1 time this was a great job, now it's a risk coming to work and attempting to do the job!
I talked to some coppers recently with the time age free medical 55 and out, but they are staying because of the overtime! So let's get this straight you work for $5.00 an hour every hour including overtime because you leave your pension with the city, then risk getting jammed up after you could of retired like Evans, he came on August 1986 he could of went but look at what happened! Bottom line retire when you can!
I have great respect for Glen Evans he was a hard worker.
It's shit like this which leads the public to believe we shoot unarmed people for no other reason then to shoot unarmed people. What a fucking idiot!
Big changes Friday !!!!!!!!
Our chain of command has no balls. We have the worst equipment, no take home cars, no extra pay for being on SWAT and now politics instead of smart tactics. Sgt TL and Lt MM care only about being promoted. They care zero about the team. They have completely destroyed the SWAT team. Time to bail. There is no doubt police officers will get hurt because of this new policy. In the last four months SWAT has shot their weapons two times because of bulllshit hug a thug love feasts. Georgas and Guiliford you really are spineless and useless.
I'm not on SWAT but have two combat tours in Iraq. Seems to me like your dumb ass SWAT bosses don't realize that an armored vehicle is just that......... A vehicle. SWAT uses it as a rescue/insertion vehicle. It is a defensive tool not an offensive one. The way you guys use it is to safely get you from point A to point B because of its armored capabilities. Not having an armored vehicle with you at the scene is like having body armor and keeping the Kevlar a block away in a trunk. Who was the fucking moron who came up with this plan?
Your SWAT bosses are morons. Look how fast they got on their knees and sold out a tool which is used to save lives. How fast is your chain of command going to sell you out? On the other hand, if something happens and the armored vehicle wasn't there as the precedence was established prior. Huge lawsuit. Get yourself a good lawyer and let the $$$$$$ roll in. Make sure you keep the dates of when the change occurred especially since it was a direct result of the media dictating your tactics. This is a case of being "pro-negligence."
Trade one black police commander as atonement for closing 50 schools. Is this the bone that Rahm is giving for the Westside Ganged Up Aldercratures and Revends?
I can't stand Gary, he sounds like Elmer Fudd. However, I believe he is a Street Cop and he stood by the Commander as long as he could. That DNA was sitting there for almost a year. Gary stood up for his Commander. You have to respect him, he will still be dumped
What is wrong with all you Glenn Evans supporters? This is the same Glenn Evans who while being the tact LT in 006 beat a handicap man for attempting to place a delinquent tag on Evans house. The man had partial paralysis from a stroke and was just doing his job (instead of becoming a welfare leech as many of you would claim) for the water department. Big bad Glenn beat him, choked him and then had him falsely arrested. In court the judge called him out and literally told him to lie under oath better. Soon after that the city settled (one of many for Glenn) for 100,000.00. But hey, that was great police work too right?
A society that makes war with the police better learn to make peace with its criminals.
We continue to complain about the publics oppion and perception of us but yet we don't gang up on the few that do stupid shit to reinforce those viwes by those outside the Police. Yah yah yah he was a hard working boss that was out there all the time in the mix with his troops on the streets caring about the people by locking up those breaking the law. That's all fine and dandy, HE WAS DOING HIS JOB or covering for the lack of from some of his troops. That all goes out the window when you do something stupid like what he is being accused of. If you really think as a PO or worse, as boss of POs, you can antimate these POS hanging on the corners selling drugs, you are living in the wrong age and need to get out of this career asap. These POS see Police losing their cool and doing the wrong thing as a pay check, nothing more, nothing less. No matter what side you are on there are rules to this game FOR POLICE, and once you get caught breaking those rules, GAME OVER for you. AND THATS WHAT NEEDS TO CHANGE, ONCE A POLICE OFFICER IS FOUND GULITY OF BREAKING THE RULES OF THE GAME, POLICE OFFICERS NEED TO focus their outrage and discontent towards that, or those individuals and not the public for thinking what they think or feelimg what they feel, BECAUSE those feelings were given to the people by the stupid $hit certain Police Officers do.
How can the people expect and trust the Police to serve and prtect them when they can't even Police and protect their own house FIRST.
INNOCENT till proven guilt in court
I don't know if I can stay out of shit for the next 8 years to retirement.
Eric Zorn is involved in this? The guy that cheerleaded the "exoneration" that to this day day has Alstory Simon rotting in jail ? Oh, pray tell, Eric, give us your informed opinion about this case please.
Whew.....at least those firemen who got drunk and dropped their pants in front of a video camera didn't get fired. Indecent exposure Hah!!!
3:07 said it perfectly!!! This whole incident is part of a witch hunt, Glenn did not kiss ass and he is getting paid back for that!!! He was never the most politically correct and said what he thought and did what was morally right and is being crucified for that. To all the dogass' that hate Glenn, remember, what goes around, comes around, karma is a bitch.

Emanuel, Gutierrez Gear Up For Executive Action On Immigration
http://www.progressillinois.com/news/content/2014/08/28/emanuel-gutierrez-gear-obamas-administrative-action-immigration
Take the money out of the pensions and raise property taxes to support unaccompanied illegal immigrant children.
The term children conjures up images of school age people going to school for most.
However under the newly defined Orwellian political management an immigrant child can be as old as 32 year of age!e
Too bad for you if you assumed that the word children meant something else!
By 2015 we're likely to hear "I'm looking for and English speaker to help out" on the zone as the Obama amnesty plan kicks in and the aliens have no desire to learn our language or culture.
Hail La Raza eh?
Rule of law my azz.
They are already diverting millions of dollars from other immigration programs, taking things away from people doing it the right way, immigrating the right way.
Meanwhile, McCarthy is running around spouting academic bull shit about Broken Windows crime fighting.. Give me a eff-ing break. When you gonna bust some investment bankers for fraud eh? Start at the top where it really matters and work your way down. Don't waste taxpayers money busting the piss bums for urinating in public to inflate your ego. Go big. Go for JP Morgan, Bank of America. and the rest that have ruined this place.
* AUGUST 2014 SCC SEMINAR -- PERSPECTIVES ON URBAN POLICING *
As someone said, "If you want the sausage factory to keep producing sausage, quit constantly filming its operations and pointing and complaining."
Face it -- one snarlin, whiskey-smellin old copper with scuffed shoes and a pack a Pall Malls and a stick prevented more crime than any MRAP drippin oil back in the garage, because he was allowed to use that stick where needed.
Some people don't understand anything else but a full-house whack in the shins. They are a big problem, and it's getting worse.
So here we are -- with this.
"...as a white person, if I have a choice about whether to involve the police in the life of a black person, I will try to choose not to.
"I’m not saying that I won’t call 911 and pray as hard as I can for the police to come if someone, whatever race, breaks in to MY house."

This is the same mentality that Obama is running. The I don't have to follow the rules, I don't have to follow the laws. I'm different.
Sounds nice until the process continues to spread and they decide we don't have to follow the rules on promotions. we don't have to follow the rules on pensions. we don't have to follow the rules on accountability. We don't like you and you make to much noise about we may jam a pistol in your mouth and tell you to STFU.

I remember a stark black-and-white poster -- night photo of a garbage-strewn alley under a few old mercury-vapor lamps. Light, shadow, light, shadow...

OT: For a minute. Hi Kids and SCC. 10 G here. Let's keep up the great work and hold our heads high my Sisters and Brothers. U too SCC. If the brain-dead want to march over a dope slingin idiot like stud known as "lil crack" who cares. He is their hero. Enough said on those idiots. BTW Knew Glen Evans for years back to PO in ole 006. Glen was great. Never saw neither black nor white. Just BLUE. Back then even the bosses feared him. He only wanted 006 to be safe for EVERYONE. Unfortunately different day of policing then back. Let thugs rule the hood. Maybe next year a little league team will win a few games and rhambellina will get erect again. Fuckin the flaming tutu fuck-another dickhead! Anyways I digress. Just to warm up-final NFL preseason game for Bears-I in Vegas and just took Cleveland minus the 5 for 10 large. Back in few days. Stay safe my brothers n sisters n SCC!
Read the criminal complaint. The commander is a no nonsense guy but he is sunk on this one. DNA evidence is overwhelming. Very disturbing that he at the least is going to lose his pension. Anybody with time on this job, 20 years or more, there but by t he grace of God go I. Hopefully no jail time but that seems unlikely and his pension is gone. All you young bucks, I hope your paying attention to this one.
I was off duty and stopped in to use the ATM when Gulliford and Evans came out of the front office. He looked like a raving lunatic waving his arms in the air and yelling at the desk to put something on the blog about him getting fired. I have seen active resistors talked to nicer by police while being placed under arrest than the way he talked to his desk people that afternoon. Man has serious mental issues obviously. Even Gulliford just shook his head and rolled his eyes at the commanders antics. Time to retire already commander. That's after you fight your felony case.
New recruits need to buy 2 of the same guns when they come on the job! "You know what I'm sayen?"
If they haven't considered the Capt from 18 for the open position, think about it. She has the experience running a district and I'm she would meet the qualifications established by the alderman for the position.

Experience running the District? All she does
Is harp on people for uniform infractions, reads
Her book and drives around the district looking
For free stuff. She is absolutely useless and
Has no idea what she is doing. But that probably
Means she is in the running.

"Militarization of police" the new bete noir now, revs, media rolling along on this "horrible new discovery."
Technology marches on. With it came ballistic helmets, bullet-resistant vests, etc. You'd be a fool not to use the good protective gear in a dangerous situation with rocks, bottles -- and bullets -- flyin everywhere.
A deal of modern NON-LETHAL crowd-control ordnance was expended in Ferguson -- tear gas and smoke and noisemakers against looters and vandals and arsonists.
One small criticism, more along the lines of weapon safety than anything else -- a bit more muzzle discipline on the M4s, etc. You got it, it's slung, and it'll come up quick enough if you have to use it.
The use of optical sights on weapons just to watch the crowd -- I know it's handy, and everyone has done it out in the deer woods, but it also involves what is probably unnecessary pointing of loaded weapons. Binoculars -- good, strong, sharp Steiner night glasses or something -- would do just as good a job, maybe better in terms of field of vision and depth perception using both eyes. Guy on top the APC with his scoped tactical rifle on a bipod could drop down to it right quick if necessary. Plus, the media would have less grist for their mill.
Just thinkin it over...a modest proposal, as the dust clears, the debris gets swept up, and the board-up guys hammer away.
Think safe. Stay safe. God bless all here.

There is. He'll concoct some cockamamie defense on how he feared for his life and had to put his pistol in dudes mouth. And a taser to his groin. Defense attorney says the DNA swabs are not able to be located. Doesn't matter when the grand jury has locked in the testimony of several officers. They will hit him in the pocketbook for a lot of dough before the battery is downgraded to a misdemeanor and he is found not guilty of official misconduct. He will then be allowed to quietly retire and keep his pension. This is the Chicago and clouted way of how things are done on the Police Department. This is him getting spanked by powers bigger than he is as a reminder of what happens to people when they don't tow the company line. Is he a loose cannon? Sure the hell sounds like it. Is he an impressionable idiot? Yep, because he felt the need to stick around and try to save the west side from itself at the request of McCarthy and company even though he was set to retire in early July. So this is the "more to the story" that people will be talking about, not the more to the story that he'll somehow be exonerated or that the claims of brutality never happened. It happened he got caught and now it's time to face the music. There is no loyalty on this job anymore and there's a pecking order that all the players have to adhere to in order to survive. If they didn't know this or chose to ignore it then shame on them. Good luck Cmdr. Evans you are the very last of a dying breed of police.
Mrs. Koschman won't have her day in court. Former Mayor won't be deposed, to reveal his possible involvement in under the table business dealings. Our pension was stolen and ransacked. What draws everybody's attention is a police officer in a foot chase, running down a man with a gun. The allegation of impropriety is what that is - an allegation. Monday morning quarterbacking is amateur and cowardly. I wasn't there and I can only assume with these anonymous posts, you weren't either. I don't know this man, I never worked with or for him. I know this- he is the police he needs our support. This can happen to anyone who gets out of a squad car to do this job.

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.
To 1:15am....you could say the same thing about any PO that has gotten jammed working hard for the city. Why is the commander special? The difference is, however, the average PO would have been stripped a year ago.
This guy should be given the key to the city, I heard he was a really good worker. I think this is the guy that told the alderman off. This guy is awesome. Is there a legal defense fund or a 10-1 fundraiser going for him?
Commander Evans is the best CPD officer in the City of Chicago. He has put in years of hard work and dedication to the City and the residents of Chicago. I have witnessed him 1st hand cleaning up areas Auburn Gresham, South Shore and Harrison. The streets of Chicago has been taking over by the gangs, drugs, and BS. Please McCarthy and Rahm step up and save Evans by any means necessary.

"The intersection was closed as Police Bomb and Arson officers investigated the threat, and they were able to confirm there was no bomb by about 10:45 a.m...
"In addition to a disorderly conduct charge related to the false bomb threat and the felony aggravated fleeing charge, Karakrah also was cited with moving violations of having an object that obstructed his view, disobeying red lights, failing to stop at a stop sign and having no drivers license."

Are They collecting bond money for him because I'm in for $500. Regardless of what you think of him keep in mind that they can do this to you too. Suspension? Maybe demotion? Probably but criminally indicted with 2 felonies? That's just BS

Retard, I have not done what he is accused of doing.
I will tell u this 011 district desk Ranger. All u do is bitch and bitch and still sit behind that desk but for u to be happy about another policeman or any officer getting jammed up for doing police work u ar, ar a ashole. Let me guess u learned u lessons by what pushing files. 011 district they ar all hard core copper but as I know the biggest work they do is being good of jumping on arrest
Glenn was his own worse enemy. He is a pretty good cop who works his ass off, but he has no administrative or political skills. McCarthy knew about Glenn's issues before he promoted him to commander. He was on the front of the sun times because he cost the city so much in lawsuits. I understand McCarthy wanting someone with Glenn's work ethic and balls, but he is also more than a little crazy. MCCarthy takes the blame for this in my book.
Administrative and political skills?..... Are you kidding me!? Yeah, that's all this department needs... More administrative savy white shirts and politically connected jagoffs running the show....into the ground! If this city wasn't under somewhat, and I use that very loosely, microscope....this place would be Cicero or Berwyn!!!! Adminstrative or political....someone's pro machine!

I'm sure 3rd watch in 011 is overjoyed. Because he disrupted their program...such as it was. But they oughtta be thanking him for ridding them of 1 completely mental Sgt, 1 SUPER LIBERAL Sgt, and nearly ridding them of 1 Complete jackass of a Sgt. Despite what else they think, they can't deny 3rd watch was made a better watch to work 10 fold.
8/28/2014 10:22:00 AM
You're fucking high. Evans and his band of never been the police idiots tried to fix many many things that weren't/aren't broken. The place pretty much runs itself and their collective micromanaging bullshit has people bidding out like I've never seen anywhere and has fucked up morale bigtime. It's sad when a mope like Evans has to flex to impress the likes of McCarthy and company. Real police back in the day or not, there'll be more of us happy to see him and Lemmer shown the door than those that wish he winds up staying. These guys don't fix shit - they RUIN shit.
Rumor from HQ. Big shake up and movements coming including two Detective Division commanders. Suppose to be this weekend. We ll see
We'll ladies and gentleman, maybe instead of kicking the man while he is down, everyone should just shut up and be glad that there are still coppers around that risk themselves to try and keep the criminal element in check.
The fact that he is a boss still out being the POLICE, should wake up some of the lazy, bitching people that infect this job. When you took this job you took an oath and maybe some of you should review that oath and go out there and Police!
Instead of making derogatory comments about Commander Evans, maybe you should thank him for still trying to uphold his oath and protecting the citizens from the criminals who don't give a damn about us.
Everybody take your gun apart, wash that sucker thoroughly with 91% rubbing alcohol, then oil it all over.

This is what you are focusing on??? How about this could happen to anyone if they make a mistake and I'm not saying he did. How about the unequal treatment for officers because the State's Attorney is a complete political hack looking to indict an officer for something they won't even come out of if it wasn't a police officer??? ANd by the way, that courtesy is extended to police officers regardless of rank. You are what is one of the biggest problems with CPD...infighting over stupid crap instead of some sort of solidarity. You are an embarrassment.
Commander Evens is one of the hardest working Bosses I have ever had a chance to work for. I'm sadden by the charges. I know he will be all right in the end. He has always worked in the worst parts of the City. He has always took down the worst of the worst. I am proud to say I worked for him. Great Police Man.
They take the word of a criminal against a decorated veteran. No wonder no one wants to do their job....
There is no disputing this point regardless of where you stand.....THE OLD DAYS AND OLD WAYS OF POLICING ARE OFFICIALLY O-V-E-R!!!!! To all you young thundercats out there, I say. Good luck
Signed,
5 more years
If OBAMA had a crazy uncle....he would look/act like Glenn Evans...!!!
Good luck 10g. You don't seem like a bad guy
I would really want to question the ISP results. I call for independent testing. And I also would like to question how the Offender came into contact with this professional Commander.
Evans possibly to prison, not that it isn't warranted if guilty, yet the boss' and detectives helping daley inc. on the Koschman (spelling?) case skate.
When I worked with Glen 15 years ago he was always there backing everyone up and making arrests. A very hard worker who would never steel or look the other way when he saw crime. I'm proud of the memory's I have of working with him. I would give my last anything if he needed it. He literally saved officers lives responding to 10-1's.
I say not guilty. The department should back him 100%.
Bring back Henny Penney - now that girl knows how to rock & roll !
I don't believe it. This guy is a hard worker and the accuser is a piece of crap.
I would have bailed him out if they didn't give him a signature bond.
God Bless you Commander Evens!

It's unfortunate that some of You haters dislike him. This MAN been policing the most violent neighborhoods within the city with good intention for over 27 yrs. The MAN been shot, seen a partner killed, sacrifice his life and been threw more shit then most of you haters. Yea I know his style of policing is HIGH tempo which you lazy muthaSuCkers hate. If you haters are complaining out of prejudice I understand becuz u're ingorant anyway so u're excused. If u wanna judge him please judge him by his character and work ethic. To the haters have a great day and I pray the city don't Screw you over one day :-))
This will be downgraded to a misdemeanor. Assault at best. The official misconduct will be dropped. He can keep his pension. Glen deserves it. It's a black eye for the dept. Another black eye that is.

Let me preface this by saying I'm not a Gary fan. However, can anyone name one officer since he took over that was wrongfully fired or wrongfully prosecuted like what happened under Jfled? Point is like him or not Gary is pro police. And although he stood by one of his Commanders as expected I believe he would do the same for a PO.
8/28/2014 12:17:00 AM
Garry is a blowhard and he's a politician. He'll do anything to further his career. This is a stepping stone for him. He couldn't care less for the police. Everything he says is bullshit. Wake up. If Garry had the chance he'd railroad you in a second.
Glen if your reading this stay strong! This is only round 1. Don't let this get you down.
Watch RAMBO III and A FEW GOOD MAN.
They will never understand with you did for the Victims. Day in and day out!
Glen you were the Garbage Man! You kept us safe and took out the vial smelling predators who feed of the victims like pairsites. Your work was not done in vain for flowers grow were their was once just misery.
The common people will misunderstand you as all greats. The history of the men, women and victims who came in contact with you will just smile and say thank you for a job well done.
Glen I truly hope you retire and find it rewarding looking back on a awesome career and a spectacular job you have done for the citizens of this City. You have done more for any Victims then any Alderman or Mayor!

Commander Evans is the best CPD officer in the City of Chicago. Right No better than a THUG! Disgraceful I could clean up 11 or & with a airstrike too But Were not above the LAW. If he was white or a PO he'd be in Jail ala Ferguson MO.

You mean the Missouri Police Officer right
So, putting a gun in an arrestee's mouth is old school.
Well then, I must have missed the old school days because I've only been on this job for 28 years.
All of you talk about the 70s and 80s, but you get your information from a biased media, some retired cop who never did a thing on this job, or maybe from some TV show you saw when you were 10. None of that shit is true. Except taking money, that part used to be true.
I learned from those 70s coppers and I worked in the 80s and those men were the best fucking cops I've ever known. We didn't beat handcuffed arrestees. We didn't beat murderers we were interrogating. We didn't put our guns in the mouth of some UUW offender.
What we did do was the job and we did it without cell phones and computers. If we needed to find something out we went out and talked to people. If we needed information, we went to our informants. If we needed to find them, we went out and looked for them. And the people we talked to, we REMEMBERED them and their nickname and their girlfriend's name. We didn't look them up on a computer.
We basically were never in the station, unlike the vast majority are today.
If someone gave us a hard time, we gave it back in spades. If, God forbid, some fool raised his hand to us, we put them in the hospital with our fists and feet. We didn't ask for felony charges for someone who pushed us because we were too busy I Bonding him from the hospital.
In my entire time on this job, I have never ever seen one copper charged or fired or even suspended for hurting an offender who was fighting him.
There is no doubt that times changed and cameras are everywhere and punitive damages are routinely handed down on complete bullshit and jurors today don't believe the police, but there were always people who hated police and most of those people always worked in the media. Sure the times changed, but coppers changed more. At least they changed a lot more than they had to.
Are They collecting bond money for him because I'm in for $500. Regardless of what you think of him keep in mind that they can do this to you too. Suspension? Maybe demotion? Probably but criminally indicted with 2 felonies? That's just BS

The Commander was a worker/leader, not a boss that tells you how he used to work, or a PPO who did a year on 1st watch and then went to days, to Det. and then Sgt. in 5 years, or a phone call hack that got involved in a few cases and needs to tell you how he earned his spot. Sure could use a few more working leaders. Let's give him his day in court and support him. There are many times the commander supported the working PO. Nothing has been proven!

(OT) more 9-11chatter again, we have to be tight every time they only have to be tight once!
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/aug/28/significant-increase-in-terror-chatter-as-911-near/
Be careful, watch each other's backs!
Wasn't superintendent McCarthy the one who repeatedly told the department to hit the streets and put your hands on people? For whatever it's worth, a half assed defense.
I don't know what the reports read like from the day of this incident. But did officers testify that Evans committed this alleged aggravated battery? Because there had to be more to charging Evans other than the dudes DNA on the gun.
It's also pretty funny that the state crime lab can never lift a bad guys fingerprint or DNA off a murder weapon. But they sure found a bad guys DNA off a cops weapon.
Most of these boss are promoted way above their ability.
However Commander Evens is one of very few that they got it right.
All that DNA knowledge every one is spouting is nice...
BUT
if you have two uniformed officers testifying under duress for fear of indictment guess what happens?
That is right my brothers in blue you are now under the bus.
Both sang like it was a gamble for pension money.
The infamous code of silence is a joke.
Are you out of your freaking mind look at the police board website Mc stupid is firing more coppers than the last 2 sups before him!
Saw a commanders star for sale on the net . Wonder if it was his .
Time to ride off into the sunset commander . Even the poorest assholes have smartphones . Wise up there's a time and place . I'll be the first to advocate old School policing . For Christ sake be smart . This city is looking for a reason to destroy itself . We all know this .
Morale in 11 is down . Yes Glenn is a good street cop but they gave him enough rope to hang himself with . You want to clean up 11?. Send in the fuckin Marines when it absolutely has to be destroyed overnight .
In all seriousness these asses bitch about living in a police state we should give them one . Will never forget when I saw Robin Robinson use the words police state on a 9pm newscast .
Just my opinion . We are a kinder gentler police department . Remember the good days when a shithead asked for your star number ?. Could read it imprinted on his forehead in the bathroom mirror. Right?. It's a new day boys and girls watch yourselves .
Mrs. Koschman won't have her day in court. Former Mayor won't be deposed, to reveal his possible involvement in under the table business dealings. Our pension was stolen and ransacked. What draws everybody's attention is a police officer in a foot chase, running down a man with a gun. The allegation of impropriety is what that is - an allegation. Monday morning quarterbacking is amateur and cowardly. I wasn't there and I can only assume with these anonymous posts, you weren't either. I don't know this man, I never worked with or for him. I know this- he is the police he needs our support. This can happen to anyone who gets out of a squad car to do this job.

Amen Brother! I stick with Evans no matter what. Support one another. You just never know..... One day this could be you Officer. People make up bullshit all the time. God Bless you Boss. YOu are in my thoughts and prayers.
Retired guy
I have never worked for the man but stop Monday-morning quarterbacking. Anyone with some time on the job has done something that would have 70% of coppers off the job. Let's just support the man.
Sheeeeeit...
You Coppers better get smart.
Pool your resources and get a good lawyer and a dirty trickster P.I. on retainer.
Or spend your own and fly solo but far better if like minded guys on a watch or a handful of guys who know each other and aren't given to doing dumb shit.
This won't work if there's an idiot amongst you.
Don't depend on your union or the city because this is the big push to destroy Policing and those who make their living at it.
Him Whose Flatus Sparkles is having his ear bent by the yellow-pinky progressives to appoint a "Czar" to "Oversee" police departments nationwide...
Foot in the door for a National Police Department...
Heh...
Know your history children.
This is how the GESTAPO came into being.
As for Glenn Evans?
We wish him well...
Hopefully his troubles aren't of the self-inflicted variety so many of us rail against.
Police like you have no friends.
Play it straight.
"Creative Writing" for the wrong reasons has gotten more Policemen into shit than out of it.
Defense of self?
Tear Dude's ass up.
Once the cuffs go on... Stop play...
Period.
No giving him a little extra mustard and relish after the cuffs go.
So what if he's talking shit?
Document it. If he's making threats document it more.
Again.
Police like you have no friends.
The only muthfuckah that has friend, allies and people ready to show up en masse as a show of support is that M/Fer who just made titty eyes at you and ran...
OK. So what? An asshole ran from The Police.
That's asshole's appointed task. Right?
Don't get sucked in on dumb shit...
8/28/2014 08:38:00 PM, You sound like a stark, raving madman. That's one scary rant.

^^ That, I enjoyed.
If this guy really beat up and then arrested on some bullshit charges the city worker who was trying to put a delinquent notice on his home...
If he actually did this, ( and Im not saying he did, I don't even know the man) then he is a disgrace to the uniform, a deadbeat, and in need of psychological counseling
regardless of his accomplishments in the field
For all you little leaguers out there, clean your gun after putting in someone's mouth.....
8/28/2014 09:10:00 AM
Great message to all the little leaguers!
Because those of us in the Majors know it's 2014. We made the Majors because we can read the big neon lights in the wall that say:
"You cant do the shit that was done in the past!"
If you haven't figured it out yet, you deserve to be playing in the minors.
I bet shaky Chief Rivera from IAD is getting real nervous rite about now.....

A-FUCKN-MEN Mike! Thank you for putting things perspective!
Whether you like the guy or not and Ive never met him... And the comments seem to be 50 50. I dont know why he didnt field strip that weapon and soak it in bleach. They waited a week after the incident. Not sure what to make of that. Is he dumb? lazy? arrogant? Anyway I bet he wishes he'd done that now.
Sgt baker, who is your character reference, you idiot. You can take your head out of Evans ass and out in Jones asd now!
I don't like are dislike the guy. Work in 11 but I stay away from any boss. To tell you the truth I could care less if he had pulled the trigger and murdered that dude. Good for him. I hope he beats the case like everyone else dose. Also Lt Master is stupid and bad at her job. & T/S
There is no disputing this point regardless of where you stand.....THE OLD DAYS AND OLD WAYS OF POLICING ARE OFFICIALLY O-V-E-R!!!!! To all you young thundercats out there, I say. Good luck
Signed,

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Chicago Police Department, and any other officers who might be reading this...
Pay close attention to the statement above! If you haven't figured out that the day of you slapping someone, punching someone, "jamming" your gun in someone's mouth are OVER, you'll be the next one on the chopping block.
No, not just suspended, not fired, you will be CHARGED, ARRESTED and TRIED in court.
If you haven't figured it out since Cozzi, or Howard, please let Evans be an example.
I don't think Evans will do any time if found guilty, but he WILL loose a lot of sleep, sanity, and in the end, his career, and his pension.
Now, with that being said... I 110% guarantee you that the next (because there WILL be a next) Officer, Sgt or Lt that gets jammed up with this WILL DO TIME IN THE JOINT.
This IS NOT about if you like Glenn Evans or you hate Glenn Evans. It's about "Are you smart enough to keep your job / pension / freedom?"
Think about it for a second. Was it worth it? Was it worth sticking your gun in some bad-guy's mouth? Chances are, he's always going to be a bad-guy! Your dental work isn't going to change him into a saint!
Guess what, the piece of shit that the Sgt slapped a few years ago... the kid is STILL A PIECE OF SHIT! The Sgt is fucked, but the kid is ALWAYS going to be a piece of shit.
The drunken piece of shit that Cozzi slapped? Yep, you guessed it, still a drunken piece of shit.
I don't care how much "Police Work" you do in 011, 007 or anywhere else in the City. Guess what; they will STILL be slinging dope, gang-bangin' and shootin' each other on West Flournoy, East 71st st, King Drive, Stony, Cicero, 119th St... long after you're gone.
They get locked up, killed, too old, someone is going to take their place on that street corner. Slingin' dope, gang-bangin', and a shootin', all while collecting a welfare check.
Now, I've been playing this game of "Cops and Robbers" long enough to have a star on my sleeve and then some. I know what takes, I know what's sometimes necessary to get a point across, hell, I've done it! I, just like many of the Police Officers, understand violence.
However, until the public at large is able to accept "what is sometimes necessary"... we will get hung out to dry. Nothing more than the jack-booted thug collecting an undeserved pension of the tax payer.
Hey, if society is willing to accept the "Thug-life" culture, let them have it! Society wants a "Hands Off" Police Department, let them have it! After all, we DO work for THEM! The Public wants us to be nothing more than "Armed Secretaries" well, give it to them (along with their RD#)! De-Policing at it's finest!
It will only be a matter of time before "The Public" begs us to be the "Real Police" again!
Until that day comes along, do what you're supposed to do, and nothing more. Protect yourself! Protect your partner! and get to the point in your life where you can retire in peace.
I can't stand Gary, he sounds like Elmer Fudd. However, I believe he is a Street Cop and he stood by the Commander as long as he could. That DNA was sitting there for almost a year. Gary stood up for his Commander. You have to respect him, he will still be dumped
8/28/2014 12:26:00 PM
You have confused inactivity with 'standing by' his Commander.
Will he stand in front of the cameras and say what a great worker he was? No.
Will he stand in front of the cameras and explain his actions? No.
Will he gladly stand apart from this man he pushed and pushed to produce and wash his hands. In a New York second.
Don't know the man and never worked for him. However I believe absolutely NOTHING that is reported in the media. Some of you out there that are judging and condemning the man, are ironically the same ones getting all up in arms on the reaction in St Louis. You post on your Facebook how the Officer there is being railroaded by the media over the version told by a shithead. Well guess what?! The person making these allegations is doing time on a separate charge. Unless you were with him when this "allegedly" happened nobody can judge or say for certain the allegations are true. I don't care if he's a worker, good boss, bad boss, softball, jagoff or otherwise he is a Chicago Police Officer!! And I'll give him the benefit of the doubt any day before I take the word of a dope dealing piece of shit locked away in the joint or the media whores who are more than happy to report anti police bullshit with such joy. Some fucking loyalty people? Don't cry when it's you being lied about on television. And if he did it and is found guilty? Well he'll have to deal with the consequences himself , but I'll still support him over a terrorist.
Keep your head up brother, and although they 5th ink they got us by making a pr stunt out of you, it will be very hard to find someone to fill your shoes in 011. Second watch 011 the dist stands with you, at least I know I do. TP
What was that "da mere" said about shoving a rifle up a reporters butt? ....
he just was following orders.
Blah, Blah, Blah.
He was a worker? So was Finnegan.
You are a goof.
----------------------------------
This guy should be given the key to the city, I heard he was a really good worker. I think this is the guy that told the alderman off. This guy is awesome. Is there a legal defense fund or a 10-1 fundraiser going for him?

People like that are no better than the criminals. That is why we teach ethics at the academy. You have to act professionally. At the academy, we teach you guys to do the right thing and act professionally. That is what happens when people think that they know better.

Get fucked you academy hand job! This is just more proof of how bad all you fucksticks on Jackson can't function as police. Keep telling other peoples stories and over compensating for your pathetic existence by picking on new PPO's. God forbid you get dumped and have to work with the people you terrorize everyday for no apparent reason. I have been down there for con-ed training and I am embarrassed by the fools working there, fuck you and your ethics. You assholes don't teach ethics, families teach ethics.
Pussy ass house mice talking shit.

You are the problem that the instructors at the academy are working to correct. We are instructors because we understand what the job demands and are not retarded enough to commit crimes.

We get compensated at the academy with free days and two hour shifts. So, going on the street for a few hours is no big deal. It is too bad that you do not have the skills to work at the academy. Have fun working your full shifts.
