Nice Leadership Picks
If you chose a moron to run certain parts of your business, choosing incompetence over skill, would it really be a surprise when the endeavor went under? Behold three of the most notorious Commanders, people held up as paragons of commander-hood and worthy of his trust:
- Pena, currently under suspension
- Evans, currently under indictment
- West, currently presiding over the largest single increase in shootings and homicides
This guy picks commanders the way certain prognosticators pick football winners.

Those compstat meetings are Working real fkg well.
"Oh man, my football picks aren't that bad, are they?"
Our Obama has picking people down to a fine art. Just look at the people he has picked for various positions.
Evans is the best commander I've ever been under. He backed his officer and was on the front line with his people. Your couldn't ask for a better boss.
Which West?
The failure of our merit/clout system on display for the world to see. If you actually pass a test, your career is over.
The best part is the moron XO in 011 is constantly walking around telling anyone that will listen how commander Evans is innocent. Talking about all the holes in the case. Talking on how the charges don't apply. He's worse than some crackhead you catch mid burglary using every excuse under the sun to try to make you believe something totally different than what you just witnessed with your own two eyes. Hey XO Buscemi --- Evans knows what happened that night, the guy that had his tonsils tickled with Evans pistol knows what happened that night , YOU know what happened that night and anybody that knows the commander knows what happened that night. All that is neither here nor there. What IS here nor there and makes all the difference in the word is that the officers who gave grand jury testimony about what happened that night. Quit running your mouth XO, your not helping the bosses cause. If you had ever been the police you would know about running your mouth.
Signed, 2nd watch fly on da wall
Right now, the only real leadership we have in this department is Gene Roy. We need more members of the command staff like him. He does only what is best and answers to no politician.
Well they come in all skin colors, lets not forget Commander Braasch 018, Commander Thanasouras 015 oh and Billy Hanhardt to mention a couple. These guys were pros compared to the minor leaguers mentioned earlier. Im sure there were plenty of Captains that were as dirty as shit back in the day.
Leadership by example at its finest
Ehhh... No different than years ago.
Anyone remember Frank Trigg?
Acosta?
Gene get off the blog. What about Carrouthers?
Crap look at the merit Lt's in 11 on 3rd watch. Christ with TB it's all screwed up! Then u have Sgt Topper too! My streetlight Jr!!!!!!
When you pick a command staff according to voting demographics, you are bound to have problems.
2 things get you promoted.. Sharing the proceeds and sucking ass. Um, I'll pass thank you very much!
Re: second watch fly on wall (011)
Actually 1100x does know what happened. So does other officers.
If you knew what you were talking about you would know the truth about the grand jury. I do which is why your post makes you look stupid
The fact that you brought it up shows how clueless you are.
A lot of folks higher up the chain and even at city hall knows what really happened which is why he was backed up.
Why is Barbara West still in command?
You kidding me? Let's see how about Maher, Acosta, Villarreal, Donahue, Avila, Ervin, Doty, etc... The nonsense could go on forever with different names. Maybe those people did not ask you to do your job and you were happy?

Acosta would always invite me into his office for jelly beans! If I knew now, I would have taken a few groups to get ahead in this department.
The comment about Braasch, et al was right on. Every administration picks its losers.
Lest we forget Ron Nash !
Why don't you throw Evans under the boss before he's even had a trial?

Frank Trigg, who got out of pissing hot by claiming his lady spread cocaine all over her pussy and he ingested it when he put his face in her bush.
Would that make him a face-ilitator?
As a whole our supervision Sgt included suck
Thanassouras, assassinated by the Mafia after he retired, Braasch took down a lot of good people with his greed, Hanhardt was on the mob payroll as a police boss and is probably just getting out of prison now.
Respect Evans, never did what the politicians and preachers told him to and wasn't afraid to tell them fuck off when they tried :) and was not a subscriber to "hug a thug" (LMFAO at that project just as the criminals do)
Unlike some new bosses (dont worry cmdr of 003 who replaced Evans, i won't use your name) who come in and their first statements to the soldier's in roll call are "i spent the week talking to the alderman, preacher's and citizen's for their input on this district's officer's"
Political patronage and Affirmative Action=corruption,imcompetance and collapse.
prime and historical examples of the political corruption in promotions....the politics of race, gender, ethnicity, familial connections, external Democratic political influences...it's the Chicago way
Gene Roy! Thanks for the comment about yourself.
Only the best for our fair city. Just like Obama.

10/21/2014 12:33:00 AM
Best commander? Ha! You obviously ain't been around too long. He ain't the worst either tho. But if one has even an ounce of brains in their head they'd know when to clean a gun. I'd rather have a boss that's smart over one who after almost 3 decades on the job hasn't learned to control his temper and doesn't realize it's no longer 1986. If he ain't smart enough to adjust to the times he is not smart enough to be running a district-simple as that. I came on with Evans and he was a loose cannon from day one. Anyone that's been around him for more than a minute knows this. And McCarthy promoting a guy like this does more harm than good in the long run. I hope Evans walks away from his criminal case but he needs to be returned to his civil-service rank (which he earned his own) if and when he returns to the job. You dummies singing his praises and cupping his ball sack need to realize that 'cool' bosses aren't necessarily the best bosses. And I won't even get started on his nitwit sidekick Lemmer. He's also been a jag off since day one in the Academy. His daddy was a Lt. who made sure little Tommy got the royal treatment and was plugged into the right people. Ask him how he was almost in tears when now Lieut. Harvey R. outscored him in academy tests. The bottom line here? Both Evans and Lemmer are toxic and need to be avoided if at all possible.
Add on "Jittney Smith." a Lt. in the old 011th District.
Later, Retired 640
Well, you can blame the superintendent for these picks, but I go back a long way ( now retired), and I do not recall a gold star ever being suspended. One or two demoted for really stepping in it or bumping up against the political class, but never suspended or indicted for that matter. So, maybe times have changed?
Acosta...I always thought he was a bouncer at the limelight until I was told he was a commander.....ha what a trick bag master he was. And to top it all off we find out he liked boys. Same old same old, same tune different day.
...meanwhile good bosses are retiring right and left.
commander bustos!
the city budget manager is starting to figure this out that supervisors at all levels of this Department are overly paid and first class public aid recipients wearing a badge in the state's cloth and carrying a gun! No different than those receiving a LINK CARD and other benefits from the State,etc

Maybe they will pick A.M. In 019 for promotion. Guy gets a simple burglar alarm this morning an hour before he checks off. Days car checks it, codes it and he comes on the air crying like a little girl about the "late job"... You were useless the first time you were in 019, you are even more useless since you've come back. Maybe you and Johnny Whispers can partner up for the extreme useless car.
now all they need to give ed W. from the d unit LT's bars.
still like Evans.........sorry that he is under the gun!
"Right now, the only real leadership we have in this department is Gene Roy. We need more members of the command staff like him. He does only what is best and answers to no politician."
My personal experience with this man would suggest the exact opposite....I think he's kind of a Dick...

T.L. is a CLOWN- sorry, no offense to all the real clowns performing in the circus, although this whole department could easily be mistaken for the likes of a big top show. Doesn't he hide in an office somewhere grading papers and prepping for the classes he teaches at Loyola? He sure spent plenty of company time doing that in the old 023. BTW- how much do captains make? I know cosmetic dental work is not covered, but jesus shell out a few grand and get your grill fixed- unless you like walking around looking like a jack-o-lantern.
He does not pick shit.
Ehhh... No different than years ago.
Anyone remember Frank Trigg?
Acosta?
-----------
Acosta/commander of 14. Yeah we remember many PO's at Excalibur night club were improperly promoted.
Remember Acosta was a silk screener which is very similar to commercial printer like Proco Joe Moreno. It's called first ward involvement. Nothing more follows.
oh yeah - I remember trigg and Acosta - met them when I worked the old COS.
Seldom does the city promote competent officers - they prefer political hacks that are easily controlled.
(OT) the democrats are pulling out every stop to win this election, went to early voting place at clearing public library on 63rd place and Narragansett, walked in was told by lady working "sir you don't need any I.D. To vote, put my name on paper got ballot card, voted handed ballot card to guy working there, walked out. Wonder if democrats will look at who did not vote and send in operatives to say they are them and steal election! So you could even be 1 of the many illegals taking money from taxpayers and still vote in someone else's name!
Guess I don't need identification for anything, drivers license, check card guess free society as long as it works for the democrats. Btw I voted republican cannot deal with this state anymore in debt and more freebies!
If you like your commander, you can keep your commander.
“What difference-at this point. What difference does it make?”
Hall of fame or hall of shame material?
There were previous bosses who were goof too. They just had better people at hiding things.
Evans is the best commander I've ever been under. He backed his officer and was on the front line with his people. Your couldn't ask for a better boss.

Lemmer please stay off OUR blog!!!!! We know it's you! And if it's sooooo clear then if the grand jury was soooo bad they would not of charged him with 9 counts!!!
Exempt bosses are picked by the politicians. The superintendent has little or no say.
We need more leadership such as Jimmy Carroll.
10/21/2014 11:58:00
Ain't he dead?
Jimmy Carroll of the fighting 008th Dist.
was the Best commander around, hands down!
Don't forget about Henny Penny.
I can't recall if she was a McFailure pick or she was a leftover from JFled.
I liked the old days when an exempt pissed off the Supe and was called in and dumped or told to retire.
I also liked it when the Chief of Dicks would call the areas and say identify your least productive dicks and they would be returned to the Patrol Division.
That kept everyone on their toes and lead to better production.
Not everyone who is made a exempt or a detective is qualified and they should be removed if not qualified!

True. While the CCSAO is a far cry from the most competent in the land, they wouldn't have indicted Evans on multiple charges if they didn't have a good case. DNA on pistol. POs gave testimony vs. Evans. Victim passed more than 2 polygraphs. You Evans cheerleaders need to face the facts regardless of how good a guy he is he fucked up and now he has to lay the piper. And like it or not he is a cop and therefore held to a higher standard. That's why they're trying to hammer him. He may have a winnable civil suit when all Is said and done cuz of the bucal swabs being discarded and other 'things' that will come into play but he is toast on the criminal charges, whether they're reduced to misdemeanors or not. As for Lemmer? He's a punk that has nothing in his life but this job. He's an out of touch micromanaging piece of shit that lives to be a company man. I feel bad for you people in 011. But hang in there cuz Tommy will soon be gone as he rides Evans' nuts wherever he goes and he sure as hell won't be going back to 011.

That captain was so cheap and set in his ways that for years after he retired he would show up at the police station on the day the supply order came in (someone would call him) and he would load up on toilet paper, brown paper towels, copy paper and anything else he wanted. The guy was so accustomed to wiping his ass with free City of Chicago toilet paper that he carried the habit into retirement.
I wonder if he ever had to actually buy toilet paper or paper towels at the store. He must have broken out crying if so.
I would wonder who that little old man was walking around with an armful of industrial toilet paper and brown paper towels and someone said "Oh, that's Captain Smith."
And to think people on this blog pine for the "good old days." Are you shitting me?
How the hell could you ever have a system that was fair with shit like that passed for normal?
I believe that there was always a suspicion that Thanassouras was killed by his own Chicago Police friends who were afraid he was talking to the Feds about being the bag man in 15th district.

Are you fking joking?!?! A captain of police who couldn't buy his own tp and paper towels?? Absolutely pathetic! He should've been fired for theft- and it probably wasn't the only thing he was stealing. If he was doing this and everyone knew about it, imagine the shit he was doing that he actually tried to hide. What a loser- making six figures and can't spend a few bucks on personal goods at the store! God, where the hell do these people come from?!?!
Well lets not forget the infamous Tasch's.... The father was an inept commander who suspended himself and the son who ended up a captain ( imagine that) near killed 2 coppers and left one crippled while driving like a nut to a job working special ....... Also street deputy Carl Dramus ( not sure on spelling) was mobbed up as well .....let's not forget lt. Durkin (rip) whom while a Det. classified as a suicide a 90lb woman who allegedly threw herself threw a window from the John Hancock building. Supposedly her connected husband (outfit) said he seen her go through but the windows are something like one inch thick ....

That's the old school police some people get all misty eyed over.
That was twenty years ago and I doubt that captain made six figures legally. Not at that time. But yes, it is true and yes, he was a thief down to the rolls of toilet paper and brown paper towels. Yes, he was disgusting.

There is absolutely no doubt he talked to the Feds. He did so to get out of jail and save his own ass. He put people in prison. He wasn't the bag man. The bag man gave to him, he was the Commander.
Cmdr, James Carroll, I mean Lt. James Carroll, is not decreased. He is alive and just as miserable as when he was a boss. Saw him a while back and unfortunately stopped to say hi, his attitude was just as arrogant and condescending as when he was my boss, talking down and talking at me, not talking to me. He was a great copper and a great sergeant - a great guy, who snapped under the pressure of being a boss, and unfortunately turned into a real prick. Jody dumped him and 25 other bosses, but he still is bitter about it.
Read it again. No one said that the copper' should of lied. Fuck no. They did what they had to do. Read the entire comment sir. Poor P.O.' got caught in the grinder in all this. Evan' screwed himself if all is true.

Re Evans
Please do your homework.
No officers went to gj.
Only IPRA did.
and there are huge problems with IPRA investigation.
The investigators maybe getting charged themselves.
DNA supports Evans.
Evans is going to go through hell but will be ok iin long run.
I reviewed the file and have internal knowledge of this case.
Commander Thanosaurus Rex was working as a bar back at a strip club owned by a shady Greek guy at the time. They thought they were above the Outfit and weren't paying the required kickbacks. That's another theory as to why he was killed. I'm pretty sure the owner got killed as well but I can't recall his name.
11:39 AM
Get your facts straight concerning the fall of Lorraine Kowalski, 29, from the 90th floor apt. of Marshall Berlin (not her husband) at the Hancock Bldg. in the early morning hours of August 11, 1971.
The case was handled by then Sgt. Joseph DiLeonardi. A coroner's jury returned the manner of death as "undetermined". It was believed that a solid iron ashtray shattered the double pane window before Ms. Kowalski fell to her death. Obvious cause of death: "trauma extreme".
Commanders need to do a better job at picking secretary's that don't shoplift!!! Why was there nothing posted about this incident the occurred at Costco (14th Ashland) on October 17th? Hmmmm
