McCarthy Out?
Adding the evidence together and it certainly looks like he's leaving shortly:
- Exhibit #1 - there hasn't been a CompStat meeting for a month now.
He's in town, he's been seen here and there, he's been quoted in the paper. But his favorite pastime of belittling and humiliating the Command Staff has ceased to be for the past four weeks.
- Exhibit #2 - Candlelight Vigil. McCarthy sat by himself and none of the regular sycophants approached him at all, instead congregating in their own little herd and studiously ignoring the Supe.
That is very telling - not needing to impress or be noticed by the boss because he's not really in charge any more. That's very typical Chicago - the guy on the chopping block is usually the last to know. Or knows and is just going through the motions for a hefty paycheck.
- Exhibit #3 - Election time. Rahm needs votes. Shaking things up will produce the illusion of change and Rahm can say, "Look what I'm doing!" and there are enough stupid people that will believe he's actually changing things.
Put all of this into the bozo-puter and we'll set the over/under for a change at the top at early November - call it Election Day when the national and state races are over and Rahm's race really begins.

"Oh man, he's leaving? Now I'll have to dump my Bronx Bullschitz moniker."
The timing is right.
"Hope For Change"
One can play the: "I just need a lil' more time" for these programs to take effect. Don't you see it?
Oh, oh-oh, all the glorious things...surely you don't wanna change the leadership now....why we're almost there! /sarc
They're going to stage a "health crisis" in October, as soon as the weather cools a bit and the CPS gang factions are settled.
Retired for health reasons after "a successful 3 1/2 year run of reducing crime to 1965 levels".
They don't want any new atrocities blamed on the new guy. Officer Weather needs to work for Rahm's re-election
New male black Supe to take over by mid November to help Rahm get to 51% in February primary.
They're really scared he can't get the 51% and will be forced into a run-off with Lewis in April.
Do your part to not help Rahm, vote NO on the contract.
Perfect time for Rahm to promote a black or hispanic superintendent so he can get himself some more minority votes.
If true, it will mark the passing of one of the great CPD Supts. The Big Guy meant well and tried hard with all his wild Irish soul. Things just didn't work out and he had an impossible boss. You will be remembered Bronx Bomber. Vaya Con Dios.
'Be careful who we get'. Wishing for is not always a good thing.
I have to say, he still lasted longer than I expected. A
November McEmbarrassment resignation gives Rahm plenty of time to announce a nationwide search and spew lots of lies about searching for someone with 'diversity' who's open to 'community partnerships'.
Its doesn't matter who the superintendent is this dept is doomed. Thank god I'm retiring next yr and I am voting yes on contract. Good luck no time on the job ur gonna need it
Would this song suit this guy very well? http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vdXNg7z-_4g
All we're trading is McJagoff for dumb as a rock Wysinger, but at least he's homegrown.
I heard from a reliable source at 35th Street that a Transgender member of a wealthy hotel family (and Democratic fundraiser) will be taking over a superintendent in January: Chicago values.
Maybe he can go back to NYC and beg Bratton for a slot at 1PP,,,,,or he'll end up being a talking head on police matters for a news network
Where is five franks retro check estimator? I need to see how nice of a jet ski I can afford!
SCC, I believe in your Exhibit #3 alone can get a Supt launched, but i put all three if your exhibits in my bozo-puter and it says we can expect a minority Supt one month prior to the election. Having a white Supt at the beginning of Rahm's term was by design..."If he does a good job, I will get votes, if not, install a minority Supt and still get votes."
Good hopefully he is going....and they put this department back together.....first get rid of Jokestat...then return the districts back to normal...this DSS shit is fucking stupid...we work in many different districts and we don't know whos in charge...some DSS some LT's WTF....bring back MSF or TRU..Hopefully its an insider that realizes how much McGoofy fucked up this department
Garry McPariah, now shunned by the usual contingent of gold star ass kissers and ballpouch cradlers, huh? Say it ain't so!
Your departure is long overdue, Stuporintendent. A preemptive "Good Riddance" to you.
And reading 'bozo-puter' conjured up good memories of tipping a few with Zone 10's original ringmaster Stan "The Man" Nowinski of "Wild Kingdom" fame.
A hefty 2+ finger pour of Chivas Regal to you, Stan.
No one will ever like the boss but McCarthy at least has balls and sticks up for officer publicly and has no fear of speaking up. I like the guy.
Deuce I will bet you a Fat Man to a Blind Monkey that the Superintendant ain't going nowhere!
One can only hope.
Isnt it nice how professional this department is? It's been like 8th grade for me all over again. Not that I care for the Superintendent...but not talking to and or ignoring? Grow the fuck up. I don't care if Rahm pirouettes thru millenium park everyday until election day. I will not vote for him. I have lived through the total and complete bullshit that the past 20 years of scumbag mayor richie daley doughheads has procured. I feel so sad for the new recruits on this job. I can count on one hand the number of bosses I respect.
My analysis is that the Southside, and Westside Revs. will have much to say who McCarthy's successor is. McCarthy has basically done a good job, however it is election time. I remember a Judge stating running for election, "Come before me around election time you get what you want...not what deserve." It was a joke, but it seems so appropriate given the political climate.
The Mayor's numbers are terrible in the African-American community. My guess to galvanize the African-American community the Mayor picks an African-American insider tied to the religious communities of the South and West sides. My guess is Eugene Williams! I have never met Williams, so anyone saying I am one of his guys would be false.
I want emphasize I have NO internal knowledge! This is just a guess.
One can only hope. This Department has never seen a more demoralizing "leader". Hopefully the next guy can put the pieces back together. If Rahm is picking him, though, there is not much chance of that.
Exactly right about an election time ploy. Rhamie has lost the black community, so get rid of McStupid which is good and replace him with a black Sup. That is what will happen but it may be a little to late, he has pissed off a lot of people.
bu bye
nice knowing ya.
good luck
Rahm + shit police contract = no votes! He Gone!
Just an idle thought...
Is their any way to do a side by side comparison of big city police contracts?
We're curious as to whether NYPD, LAPD, Boston PD, Houston PD and the larger suburban departments have as much bullshit, weasel words, donkey dung, lawyerese, slippery syntax as there is in our contracts?
A comparison/contrast would be nice... We'll also find out how much or how little other municipalities think of their first line first responders now that all indicators point toward an "improving economy" so Policemen might be made whole for being targeted for the great hate and backwards pimp-walkout their benefits and pay over the last 15 years...
That ought to get the seat of Rahm and his henchmen's panties in a knot!
"No NO NO! Don't you churls look at salaries and benefits from other places as a base line! Only WE can do that!"
You know F(L)OP wouldn't DARE do such a thing because it would fuck up the narrative Rahm desperately wants to spin.
Ho-Hum, who cares. Rahm will just find another marionette and will continue to play everyone like a fiddle anyway. Until he's replaced it will be business as usual.
What say you - 10g?
Not only Racoon eyes but majority or lazy Alderman are doing the same.
Six months prior to election, these jackasses are scrambling to deliver constituents services last minute.
They had four years to do it,instead they chose to get it done last minute.
Sincerely
26th Ward Alderman
Roberto Maldo-Nada.
he gone......election time, baby!
Just as I was starting to like the guy.
Hopefully, FOP has more meeting to inform the membership about the changes to the contract so an informed vote can take place. We havn't been able to make any of the meetings because of work schedules. Maybe 3 meetings a week for the next 8 weeks. Some in AM some in PM and some at 3 in the morning (yes, that's AM too) for midnight coppers.
Why I'm voting "yes" on the contract.
We will LOSE in arbitration...why??? Because the arbitration system heavily favors the city.
The city can appeal the arbitrator's ruling, however, we cannot.
We have never won in arbitration
The next in line will be no different...28 year veteran has seen them all before. Nothing changes unless it's getting worse.
Welcome Steve George's !
I said it before McCarthy, Steve was maneuvering behind your back and you didn't listen. It's the Chicago way!
Why did Gary dump a foot officer from 1st Dist because he wouldn't shake his hand poor Gary
9/20/2014 04:42:00 PM
/////////////////
He should have been dumped....
You can be dumped for being an idiot
The signs are there----wait for it.
McCarthy was being groomed for Superintendent of NYPD.He will be going back east to meet with his Rabbi.
From your lips to Gods ears, SCC
Be careful what you ask for..
He's staying. Nice try SCC.
Over the last several years there has always been reasons on this blog why he is on his way out soon. But he is still here. Wouldn't put much into your observations.
and if you are correct SCC,
we can only assume it will be a black supernintedo to appease the crowd.
Wow. If true, yay.
God forbid something like the Chicago Magazine's articles be cause for dismissal....makes more sense that he'd be let go for political reasons instead.
Working beat officers on the 3rd watch that start out with backlogs , are forced to work 10-99 , denied time due on week ends will be voting NO to this contract .
SCC your right about the "look what I'm doing" typical Rham I can only hope your right about the "street light enforcer" leaving town it will be a better day when that happens.
Very hard times ahead. Big, big changes afoot.
One thing will change everything.
Firing cops for low evaluations. It'll be here before summer.

Do your part to not help Rahm, vote NO on the contract. I don't give a damn about any Chicago election. There are no viable candidates to vote for. Neither Karen Lewis nor Bob Fioritti will give us a decent contract. They haven't been huge supporters of the police and the job we do. It's just wishful thinking on your part, which is B.S.
bozo-puter lol - that machine runs 24/7 in this God-forsaken town.
--No Cop Here
Seiser for Superintendent.
I say rahm is done, knows it, and is gonna sack Gerry on the way out
Just some wishful thinking on the part of McCarthy haters. A lot of BS.His health problems might have something to do with slowing down, but leaving? Not a chance.
So if McCarthy resigns then what happens to his baby, Operation Impact? There are several hundred officers assigned to it who could be placed into districts. Perhaps thats another election move for Rham; shitcan McCarthy then boast how hundred of additional ofcs are in districts

You are absolutely right. Maybe some of these McCarthy haters want someone like Uncle Terry back or Leroy. I think some forget what life was like under those "leaders". When we finally got outsiders to lead the department positive changes started to happen and the department came into the new century. And, a boss who speaks up for the troops, not buries them for political reasons.
"Exhibit #2 - Candlelight Vigil. McCarthy sat by himself and none of the regular sycophants approached him at all, instead congregating in their own little herd and studiously ignoring the Supe." -- SCC
This reminds me of the 1950s, when you had a once-a-year chance to prognosticate what was going on in the USSR by very closely observing the "dignitaries" on the reviewing stand atop Lenin's Tomb for the great May Day parade in Red Square.
Who was there? Who was standing next to whom, and how did the pattern change from last time? The intelligence guys blew up the film stills, spent hours with magnifying glasses going over it all.
More ominously -- who didn't show up this year?
>muffled pistol shot down in basement, people on the street keep their heads down and walk faster<

I have to say, I for one was never verbally berated by him and actually enjoyed hearing the stories of over promoted,bungling nitwits getting their heads handed to them. He was always at the fundraising functions hanging with Blue Shirts and being with him on NATO Sun with bottle of piss flying all over will always give him a pass in my book. Guys look at the other candidates, it only gets worse.
McCarthy is going to leave for health reasons and Rahm will appoint a lack supt. But, this will,change nothing, for the next supt will probable be worse than this guy....it's the shitcago way.....
Bring back MSF & TRU? Are you insane. I'll take the OT any day.
Thank God McCarthy leaving....by far the worse we had!!!! But, I don't care who he puts in, if they won't hire 1500-2000 policeman, nothing is going to change. When I left in 2010, there was factually 13,425 total officers....now there is 12,100 paying into pension...do the math!!!!
Old Retired Guy
Does FOP have the count for how many signed up for the Age 55 insurance deal for next year?
They need 100 by 1 Oct.
Last I heard it was only at 70??
I heard from a reliable source at 35th Street that a Transgender member of a wealthy hotel family (and Democratic fundraiser) will be taking over a superintendent in January: Chicago values.
*******************
PhatPhil's comin' back?? But wait-whose reliable at 35th St?
Sorry, I'd stick with the current Supt. Guys got ballz...
I've been on since 1985.
Rice, Martin, Rodriguez, Hilliard, Cline, Opossum Head, McCarthy.
Each was worse then the last with the exception of Rodriguez, who was a step up from Martin.
They work for the mayor, not the public or the police. Don't forget that.
Hope & Change is all we have.
McFartFace & Cooter were seen @ The Blue Oyster enjoying a cold beverage together.
It doesn't matter who becomes the next Sup. Crime is still going to be out of control, and the department is still going to be shit. Nothing will ever change in this shithole of a city. Four more years and i'm taking my family out of Chighanistan. For all of you who are voting no on the contract because you believe it will hurt Rahm, you are seriously misguided. Nothing you do will hurt Rahm. The machine as been in full swing for years. The Feds are even scared to bring down the machine, and you think voting no is going to bring it down. NOT.
Garry McCarthy: I have never met you, but you are one of the worst things to ever have happened to the Chicago Police Dept. Your bullying and womanizing while pretending to be a man of integrity make me sick. Your strategies are flawed and rely on a numbers game that is false. You have made your millions here. Please leave.
With regards to hospitals, you can still use (Advocates,Northwestern,Rush)and the family deductible max stays the same with both tier 1 and 2.Both tiers also will be paying less of a bill because of the "subscriber share " change,which gives us the ability to pay the city discount no matter what tier we use. The union has been trying to get "subscriber share" for years.I was at a general meeting and heard Daugherty say the "subscriber share"was a very good thing that we are trying to get for a while.Use the hospital you are comfortable with,tier 1 hospitals attempting to generate more business because they are not as well regarded as above mentioned hospitals are giving the city an extra discount to be placed in tier 1.Use the Hospital you trust and comfortable with.
OT- Just mailed out my NO vote for our garbage contract offer... That's my choice and I back it 100%
In 14 years on CPD I have learned one truth, "Meet the new boss... Same as the old boss!"
The saddest song in the world for Gary... It's closing time!
Who cares. Eff him in the face. Same puppet, different strings.
Take a ride on the water taxi back to New York.
Darren Wilson for Superintendent. He's got experience eradicating shitbags, he's an actual policeman, and he's looking for work.
Will his outcome effect the annual FOP picnic?

EXACTLY!
I laugh at coppers who hold out hope of getting a superintendent who will do what blue shirt coppers want...as opposed to dancing to the mayor's tune. It simply won't happen! No mayor would appoint a superintendent, without first, insuring that said sup knew who ultimately runs shit.
Dream on, though boys. Dream on.
Bring back Ramsey.
My guess is that replacing McCarthy with a black superintendent would backfire in the black community. Many black voters would likely and rightly see it as pandering.
Same as with the new high school he wanted to name after the President and changing Stony Island to Bishop Brazier Drive.
Now I happen to think it was necessary to close the schools he closed given the massive migration of blacks OUT of Chicago, but he was and is just such a lying asshole about the whole thing.
I don't know who I will vote for or against. Karen Lewis is clearly a tough character, but does will she do what's necessary to balance the budget?
Fioretti? Please. I'm ashamed to say he grew up in Roseland /Pullman. His schtick about trying to keep "Felony Franks" Hot Dog stand out of his ward cost the taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Rahm? Fuck him.
Time to retire and buy a houseboat and move out west.
Is there really a wine cellar aka the bunker in the basement of headquarters?
""""Where is five franks retro check estimator? I need to see how nice of a jet ski I can afford!"""""
Lets all vote "yes" and get Harley's. That way we can drive our MCs to our Wally World greet job after retirement.
Vroom....Vrooom
Honestly tho. How can you win when the game is rigged?
Looks like the bosses will have to get use to a different taste in their mouth
The devil you know is better then the devil you don't know
Rahm is desperate for the Black and Hispanic vote, my guess he will fire McCarthy for his "October Suprise" hire a Black or Hispanic Female, announce they are hiring 1-2,000 P.O.'s and that McCarthy is the reason manpower is so short. Don't count out Rahm to try and tie our new Minority Superintendant into Ferguson Mo.'s lack of diversity being the cause of theirs/our problems.
OW Wilson could not refix CPD or the City at this point.
Just voted yes...now where's my retro check!!
Pregnant woman raped , 9 year old assassinated by gang members out on early release . There are 10,000 more victims that would not have victims if democratic politicians did not rely on gang votes and pushed for early release of violent offenders .
Black working people Re sick of the lies , we want bad people kept in jail just like every other race does .
Time for change , police officers are not our enemy , it is the politicians that give anti violence groups money to do nothing .
The black community is mad at Rahm? Just what has he done to them? He's shifted one third of the police departments resources from the white districts to the most crime ridden black districts to make them more safe. Oh, he's closed some schools. If you burn up or vandalize your neighborhood less people live there, you have no need for the same number of schools. If your children don't go to school, just what do you need one for? I'm a stupid WASP, I believe a high school diploma is better than slinging dope. It pays less, but in the long run, work with me here, it gets you into college which will make you more money in the long run. Not right now, ADD sufferers but once you grow up, you can be one of those rare commodities in the hood, a black man with a college degree. But alas, you STILL have to hustle, cooperate and go the extra mile at your real job. That hollering about how you got a college degree while doing as little as possible isn't going to get it. But, if you talk plenty of shit and get fired, Lovey and Lovey might sue for you so you can get a large discrimination payout.
I wonder what happened to get an education, do a good job and get ahead? How about save your money and open a small business (not an illegal drug business) like an auto repair or body shop? A small grocery store? A beauty or nail shop? A hot dog, taco or fish restaurant?
"Do your part to not help Rahm, vote NO on the contract."
That's the dumbest thing I've ever seen written on here!!! You would need two promotions just to be an idiot!!! You are most likely the same retard to didn't want the 4 and 2 schedule just to keep that 3 day weekend every 6 weeks!!

Once a stroke always a stroke,

“I have your back.’ Are not just words that i speak. It’s a promise I’ve made to you, my brother and sisters. Yes, even you who have not yet joined our family. I will not break that promise. That is why I will be voting NO on this contract deal. I will not vote to have those who are not on the job yet, to have money taken out of their pockets. I will not tell them when I see them that you can trust me even though I turned my back when I should have stood up for you.
I will not turn my back to those that have more time on the job than I and vote away their seniority rights.
These are just two reasons, there are more, but to me my word, my promise is worth more than any retro check I might get. Please vote NO on this deal.
My Vote of NO is in!
And mailed
total time 1 minute to fill in oval 6 minutes to walk to mailbox.
The superintendent on average only last 3 years. McCarthy has lasted beyond that and has not made a significant impact on crime. Especially murders. It's time for him to admit, at least to himself, that he has done a poor job and is in this way over his head.
Bozo-puter!!!! Outstanding
To 10:01am, Angelo said at the General Meeting that 90 had signed up. Hope that helps.

OT: GOT MY BALLOT
Just got my ballot. Voted. Couldn't help but notice the FOP and their support of this contract due to a unknown fear of what the arbitrator may or may not do. One thing is clear. This contract sucks. And if we do indeed lose more during arbitration, we need to unite as blue shirts and ensure the city understands that officers making ends meat cannot perform at a 100% during their duty. There is not a single issue that was written in our favor. I really don't appreciate the FOP including a letter of support on behalf of this contract. There job is to inform us and to keep us updated. NOT to steer us in a direction in which "they" agreed to with the city. It's another sad day for our FOP. No matter how ever you vote, please be informed and read the booklet included with your ballot.
Vote YES!!
Then I gonna get PAAAIIIIDDDD!

Exactly right. If you or I were the mayor would we want a supt that fought us all the time or a guy who agreed to go along with our agenda.
Also the same po's forget that the supt would be more than happy if the mayor hired 2,000 more po's, bought 2000 squads and gave us a 5% annual salary raise. He has to work with what the mayor puts into the budget, Simple as that,
Okay... I just left the town hall meeting at Guide's. I'm voting a very informed NO.

Vote NO! Don't be bought off

All coppers should be mad that duty availability is not going to be available to newer officer because that money is pensionable and by those younger guys not receiving it only means that less money overall is being put into our pensions.
that is a lose for all of us. We need them to get that money even though we are receiving it if we have more time. This is a bad thing.

Are you joking, no real police officer would ever recognize this nit- wit for anything other the the phoney he truly is. He solely ruined our police department for his own personal gain. Standing in front of a camera and playing the part does not make him the hero you portray him to be. His true Interest is to self promote himself to a federal position at the expense of all the fine men and women of the Chicago Police Department. The damage McIdiot has done to this department will take decades to fix. I have been around long enough to realize just how messed up this place has truly become, and I know who is responsible. McWhateverthefuckyournameistoday has run out of lies, his only saving grace was when he had the Big Mac Attack and became Superintendent McBlockage. Public sympathy bought him a little time.
Heard from a reliable source at City Hall that former Commander Harley Schinker is on the short list for Supt. This merit hack couldn't pour piss out of a boot with instructions on the heel.

Just got back from Guide's and FOP informercial. I'm still voting NO. They really need to clean out the beer lines there. It was nice to see Ald. Zalewski there supporting us and playing the penny video games.
Hope we get a black supe. I love doing the electric slide at the headquarters Christmas party. Boggie woogie woogie woogie.
Just got my ballot today sent it back voted YES don't want to go to arbitration and lose what we have!
Remember boys and girls this is Chicago It doesn't matter which way you vote this is a done deal.
Is there a more divided demographic than the police...?
It's amazing we even exist as an entity.

Was it the redoubtable Col. Jeff Cooper who pointed this out? He concluded, "Life is cheap in the Soviet Union."

Doesn't really matter who's at the top.
Whoever it is will carry Rahm's water and further his agenda. Rahm won't have it any other way.
He's not going anywhere UNLESS the minorities demand it during this election cycle, AND if pol numbers dictate it. Otherwise, move along...

Oh. Amazon will be sending a drone to your front door to deliver...something.
Old retired guy , McCarthy doesn't have authority ti hire 1,000 -2,000 police officers . Mayor controls the purse strings , go have another old style you old fool .
Superintendent Fred flintstone yabadabba doooo
With the storm clouds and uncertainty of War in the horizon, I didn't take any chances and voted YES. As bad as our economy is, it could bottom out in a major way.
In addition to all the other reasons I am not happy with this contract, I am totally pissed that they continue to state that we receive 25 working day furlo days yet we effectively only receive 23.5. Why was this shit not corrected? We DO NOT receive 25 working furlo days! The contract is a lie. Fix this!
Bears Win. Fuck yea!
Garry has a job lined up already overseeing all operations of Rick Simon's maintenance company at Ohare.
He is staying out of law enforcement for now until his health gets better and either the New York or LA top cop spots open up.

Thank God McCarthy leaving....by far the worse we had!!!! But, I don't care who he puts in, if they won't hire 1500-2000 policeman, nothing is going to change. When I left in 2010, there was factually 13,425 total officers....now there is 12,100 paying into pension...do the math!!!!

You old retired guys are something else. You never even worked under this superintendant but you're thanking God that he's gone. Maybe you should save your opinions for things that are relevant.
9/22/2014 09:04:00 PM
Engage your brain before you type. Some of us 'old retired guys' are barely fifty years old. Lots of us still have many friends on the job, dealing with this idiot of a superintendent, which makes him relevant in our/their lives. Pension issues affect us, and the raises affect anybody who left in the last couple of years. Again, some relevance. Many of us still live here, for various reasons, so manpower and coverage affect us, our friends and our neighborhoods. Again, relevant. You'll understand this better after you begin to mature.
Let him go do security for the Jets. Bears win baby!
Got my ballot today...apparently we got everything the FOP asked for since there wasn't a asked for/wanted vs what city offered vs what agreed on sheet or informative literature in there.

Hilliard, Cline, Weiss, and Mcarthy... Maybe you should retire already grandpa since you obviously are forgetful and bad at math. I'll bet you voted yes for the contract as well! Now GFY
I'z gotz mine!
Vote Yes! Retro baby!!!
But seriously, we can't win in arbitration.
A NO vote I guarantee will come back and haunt us, with a 6% arbitration award, by Ben who has been bought and sold by the Machine for the last decade.
The booklet FOP sent has the raises at 14%. Was this what it was before the fop negotiated it down? Hey you guys should send out the proper info if you want us to know what we are voting for. Certainly we are not getting 2% raises for 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 4% in 2016, and another 2% for 2016. With all the money of ours wasted on foo you'd think they would print the right contract agreements.
These New York jokers have bamboozled the country with their CONSTAT bullshit. Gary has been rumored to have a consulting job lined up months ago to teach this crap and was due to leave b the end of the year.
Someone has been sipping' some serious kook-aide!
WEIS as a reformer? Rodriguez was a step up from Martin? Whoever you are, please remove your head from your ass, you are indeed suffocating!
Chicago government really does shares many similarities with Soviet era politics. Sad...Very sad.

A mind is a terrible thing to waste.
I predicted this a couple months ago after conversations with someone with inside knowledge-- citing health reasons McCleanandsober leave this fall and Eddie Johnson would get Supt. job. The longer odds is Staples b/c she's female, LGBT and has a masters from Northwestern. Rahm has big polling problems with the Lakefront liberals in 018 and 019 b/c of crime, potholes, etc., and he thinks she might help him with those voters.
I was at the vigil cocktail reception when plenty of white shirts were taking turns talking to the Supt. During the vigil itself, he was up front with other speakers, so not exactly easy to talk to him. Did see Dean Angelo Sr, who must of had an invisible bubble shield, as no one was going within 3 feet of him.
9/22/2014 08:25:00 AM first of all you ignorant fu-- you have no clue what you are talking about so stop spreading rumors. The evaluation system Also has system issues built into it the test team released prior to the recommendations of some of the testors. For example, any sergeant at any time can go in and make comments about you so let's say you have a sgt that does not like you and wants to jam you up he can have his buddy sergeants go in or he himself can say whatever he wants without you knowing and the come evaluation time let's say some random supervisor that does not know you now reads these comments has to enter your evaluation based on what your sergeants have said about your work performance. So now you are expected to be be fired on that -- go fuck yourself buddy-- go run to the lawyers office if you ever have any problem with your evaluation - Ladner pushed this through before testing was complete

I heard from a reliable source at 35th Street that a Transgender member of a wealthy hotel family (and Democratic fundraiser) will be taking over a superintendent in January: Chicago values.

That would be Jennifer Natalya Pritzker, formerly known as James, is one of 11 billionaire members of the extended Pritzker family.

Your departure is long overdue, Stuporintendent. A preemptive "Good Riddance" to you.
And reading 'bozo-puter' conjured up good memories of tipping a few with Zone 10's original ringmaster Stan "The Man" Nowinski of "Wild Kingdom" fame.
A hefty 2+ finger pour of Chivas Regal to you, Stan.

Wow! That brought back memories! Last I heard Stan was in Arizona. Good guy!
It doesn't matter who the supt is as long as the politicians want to use the dept as a political chess piece !!!!!! I don't get it the fucking supt got notjing to do with it if we have a mayor and politicians who hate the police nothing will change no matter who's in there
Why don't you people understand ? Why are you blaming the supt he's an asshole no doubt but he ain't in control
Hey Gar- you don't have to say good bye, just go!

No one will ever like the boss but McCarthy at least has balls and sticks up for officer publicly and has no fear of speaking up. I like the guy.
9/22/2014 01:53:00 AM
What the hell are you smoking?! "Sticks up for officers?" You must be a recruit trying to keep a job. Where were you when he was ordering SPARs on POs for not standing up on foot posts on those 90 degree summer days? Jagoff need to get the boot!
Are you joking, no real police officer would ever recognize this nit- wit for anything other the the phoney he truly is. He solely ruined our police department for his own personal gain. Standing in front of a camera and playing the part does not make him the hero you portray him to be. His true Interest is to self promote himself to a federal position at the expense of all the fine men and women of the Chicago Police Department. The damage McIdiot has done to this department will take decades to fix. I have been around long enough to realize just how messed up this place has truly become, and I know who is responsible. McWhateverthefuckyournameistoday has run out of lies, his only saving grace was when he had the Big Mac Attack and became Superintendent McBlockage. Public sympathy bought him a little time.
I am in total agreement. This once great police department is a shell of itself and a majority of that destruction was caused by McCarthy.
By the way, if you can't figure out how to safely work 99 then you are in the wrong line of work.

It's jackasses like you, trumpeting your loudmouthed ignorance, that make it worse for every copper.
You're the "superman" who gets sent 99 to a domestic and says: "Don't send another car, squad, I'll let you know."
Look, bulletproof commando, one day you will be lying out there bleeding and wishing you could move your arm enough to call for help.
You famous last words: "I didn't think this could happen to me."

Old retired guy. The super has nothing to do with pension or raises. Which shows that you are not a CPD retired cause any cpd would know that. You may be retired but not from cpd.

Enjoy it now, son, because you will be living in poverty when you retire. Think about the long term, not immediate gratification. Immediate gratification is for children who don't understand this concept yet.
You young guys/gals on the job think retirement is a long way off...it comes way faster than you would believe. Remember, you might only be 50 when you retire....you might live for a longer period of time than you worked.
Don't scoff. My parents are both 90 and still active as hell. When you think of the contract, think about your working conditions now, but don't forget to consider what it will mean for your retirement. It's not going to get any better, so fight for the things worth fighting for.
Yeah okay... McCarthy sitting right next Rahm to and speaking to the House-Senate.
He's not going anywhere expect the White House with Rahm. If he didn't leave yet with all his health issues he isn't leaving anytime soon.

I hear that term a lot. Have lived in this city the whole of my 50+ years. Can't recall a time when the department was ever "great". So, during what years did this alleged greatness take place. And what made the department "great" then. Just askin.

I really hope you guys who are voting YES for a quick retro are joking.I mean vote how you wish YES OR NO but are you really that bad off to need $6,000 after taxes that you will just sign and send without reading it? LMAO. How pathetic are you coppers? So glad I have plan B. This is why I can't talk intelligently to half the people on this job. So many of you have no plan and can't see past tomorrow.
Hey Bill,
I gotta plan B too. That's why I can afford to take the 6G cash grab now, and not sweat what's gonna happen 100 years down the line. I'm done in 2 years. I'll only be 53. Already got the next thing lined up. Only had one child. Had her early. She's long done with college, married and owns her own home. And, oh, I'm long divorced. So, you see, there's only me to concern myself with. And that, my friend, make all the difference in the world.
Voted a big NO and voted NO for my partner who gave me an extra vote :)
