Operation Santa
- Katarina Perez was 9 years old when her father, a Chicago police officer, was killed in the line of duty.
Now a 21-year-old college student, Perez spent the weekend with the Chicago Police Memorial Foundation as it caravaned around Chicago to deliver gifts and holiday cheer to the families of fallen officers and those who have been catastrophically wounded.
A senior at the University of Iowa, Perez said she came home early for the holidays so she could give back to the charity group that has been a source of emotional and financial support for her family since its founding in 2004.
The foundation completed its eighth annual Operation Santa on Sunday afternoon when it arrived at the Perez family home in the Garfield Ridge neighborhood after visiting the homes of 15 other families. Retired law enforcement officers, dressed as Santa and Mrs. Claus, as well as active Chicago police officers dressed as elves stepped out of black SUVs and greeted the Perez family.
- New York Jets’ center Nick Mangold donned an NYPD cap in support of slain officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos before today’s game against the New England Patriots.
- Yankee owner George Steinbrenner died in 2010, but his appreciation for the men and women in blue who protect New York City lives on.
For 32 years, Steinbrenner's Yankee Silver Shield Foundation has provided for the education of the children of New York City police officers, firemen and Port Authority employees who died in the line of duty, and will do so for the family of NYPD officer Rafael Ramos, gunned down by a cold-blooded killer Saturday along with his partner, Wenjian Liu.
The foundation will pay for the education of Ramos' son, 13-year-old Jaden, and another son who is in college.
The media couldn't wait to plaster the "hands up" lie and the "can't breathe" fiction all over television. But this is barely a blip it seems.

Mangold has got balls for doing this as most of his teammates and most of the NFL are haters/Garner supporters.
I'm sure the illiterate, injury prone Rose will also be showing his support for the fallen officers. I wish that POS would retire already.
I've instantly become a NY Yankee fan. Buying a hat tomorrow
True, SCC, almost no coverage. 'Good' works quietly and steadily and does not jump up and down yelling 'look at me'.
Evil makes the front page because it shrivels up and dies if it doesn't get constant attention and constant feeding. Sadly, the media is happy to feed its need.
Good for New York Jets, Nick and Yankee's George Steinbrenner and the Santa and Mrs. Claus Police in Chicago, with volunteers...Go Police!! Those who have smarts and hearts care and need You and hold you high....Politicians are mostly stupid....they follow the money not the soul of the country.
Where are the FOP books you ask? Found this on another thread:
A $47K mistake with FOP books. The new goofs printed Bill Dougherty's name instead of Ray Casicock. Calandars are also screwed up. The $47k is not in the budget and very likely not even to be brought to the Board. This is only one of many costly accidents. Good thing they all took pay cuts.
Who are these new "goofs" and where did they come from? Anyone? I don't want my dues going to this massive screw up.
Bravo for that NFL player! I bet that doesn't get the coverage as those thug bastards with their arms raised. Miserable scum that they are.
New York Jets, now a team I might watch more often with men like that playing for them.
You never hear about the respect & love that some people have for Police Officers thru the news media..It doesn't dovetail with their agenda and barely concealed hatred. Never ever heard about George Steinbrenner's Silver Shield Foundation. Tonight,my partner and I were having dinner and during our meal,a woman approached us and asked if she could speak with us. She said that she always respected the Police Officers of the Chicago Police Department for the most difficult job that we do. She asked us what the hell is going on in America where the Police Officers are an object of hatred and violence and that it seems that the Criminals are loved and respected by our politicians and the Criminals are not held accountable for anything that they do. I told her that it has been like that for a long time. That it's more acceptable because some politicians and government officials support and are advocates of this behavior. She completely understood and agreed. She said: "God Bless You and Stay Safe".
What are the odds that Nick Mangold gets fined by the NFL.
If that occurs, I think that police nationally should contribute as 'our' sign of support and gratitude back.
Wow just one player. I noticed not many celebrities posting on their sites yesterday. I guess they busy Christmas shopping.
I bet anything the criminal NFL fines Mangold for being out of uniform.
More people appreciate the police than don't. The media is only interested in lionizing those who don't.
Give it up for Jets player Nick Mangold. Class act also for the Yankees organization for their continued support of NYPD.
I hate the Yankees with passion but aside from baseball this is a very class act
The police memorial is a great organization that truly helps our many fallen officers family's, and honors them with a great spot light...
Thanks
AMEN!!! God Bless THESE PEOPLE AND Everyone.
on another note: it's 645 in the am and the news media reports are how people still protesting in different cities stemming from the Ferguson verdict. Where where the Fuck is the media coverage on the 2 NYPD brothers and now a Tampa Officer that were MURDERED ? Bastards !! Where are the rallys for these brothers in blue, wheres the media shoving microphones in those families faces of the POS cowardly offenders? wheres Al F*en Sharpton now? SENSELESS! Just Senseless!!!
So great to read some good news after this horrific weekend.
To our great nation's LEOs, FFs, & military men & women, God Bless you for all you do. Be safe out there.
Despite what you read or hear, the majority of citizens support you. Each one of you (even the biggest asshole) is a hero. You run into the chaos that we flee. Millions of prayers are with you every day, eve, & mid.
Grateful citizen
Thank you Nick Mangold and Giants Coach Tom Coughlin for paying your respects to the to fallen NYPD Officers and showing support for LEOs everywhere.
Then this:
"Coughlin show of support came on the same field where, three weeks earlier, several Rams players staged a protest after officer Darren Wilson was not indicted in the shooting of Michael Brown. in Ferguson, Mo. They made their pregame entrance with the “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot!” symbol before beating the Raiders. They did nothing Sunday."
Remember those last words: THEY DID NOTHING
The down low FOOL Sharpton just mothafucked the NY Jets for letting one of their players wear an NYPD cap. Fuck you Alvin. Pussy bitch.
New York Rangers also did a special tribute at the beginning of the hockey game.
God bless the New York jets organization for supporting the police unlike the shitcago bulls and their hatred for the police
Just A Citizen Says: What is happening now is terrifying. Our leaders are the problem. Our President is in Hawaii not giving a shit, our Mayor is in Chili with his problem kid and the animals are past the point of getting restless. God bless all of you every second on the job. My question is this, we can all complain and bitch, but how do we solve this problem???
Christmas Gone Mad Department --
Santa arrested in shooting of 2 men
11:02 a.m. EST December 21, 2014
"Detroit — Santa Claus is coming to court.
"A 26-year-old man dressed in a Santa suit was arrested early Sunday and faces charges after he allegedly shot two men outside a downtown Detroit gas station.
"Apparently, there was an argument over Santa's girlfriend — Mrs. Claus," Detroit Police Officer Adam Madera said of the 2 a.m. incident that started in the Speedway gas station at Jefferson and I-375.
"One of the victims ran back to his car, and the guy dressed as Santa Claus must've thought he was going to get a gun because he started shooting."
"One victim was shot in the chest; the other in the hand. Both victims, 29, are expected to recover from their injuries, Madera said.
"Two off-duty Detroit police officers were nearby and chased the man in the Santa suit on foot for several blocks, to St. Andrew's Hall at Brush and Congress.
"The officers pointed out the suspect to a uniformed Detroit police officer who working the downtown club patrol and Santa was arrested without further incident, Madera said."

I am straight when it comes to getting kia. This city is not worth it. I would not want my family or anyone else getting a camera ticket going to my funeral.
You the man, Nick! Way to go, guy.
I read that Nick Mangold is also giving the two families his NFL salary this week.
Has numbnuts GMac made any remarks or has the department put out anything about the NYPD murders?
The media has been posting remarks from chiefs from, Boston, Philly-Ramsey, Newerk, L.A. Crikets in Chicago.
I'm on furlough and out of the loop.
HEY SANTA,make a class of E/TS!!
Bratton backs NYC mayor on the Today show.
It's amazing how these guys sell their souls for a job.
Hey Bratton, whipe your chin there's a little overflow you missed.
I am a native Chicagoan, born and bred, returned. But, I lived in New York City during the worst years, mid 1980s -1992 - Koch years then horrors of David Dinkins.
This is where/when Al (not a Reverand) Sharpton got his start as race hustler, inciter of criminal Black mob - there were so many racial criminal atrocities from the Tawana Brawley rape hoax, to proud Cop killer Larry Davis, to the Central Park wilding gang rapes (rapists got off thanks to Sharpton and the likes of PBS Ken Burns), to the Crown Heights Pogrom.
Yes, Al Sharpton actually incited a Black mob to "kill the Jews".
But, the good news was Mayor Guiliani was elected mayor, tough NYPD chiefs Bratton and Kelly and the rank and file of the NYPD took back the streets.
New York City even cleaned out the Time Square porn district.
This a** ((*( race mixing, Communist mayor who changed his name to sound "Italian" - yeah, he sucks big time, but just watch and see.
Our side is tough and very battle hardened in New York City.
God bless the NYPD.

#alllivesmatter
The retarded media has no interest in any good works the police do. They just want to focus on the alleged negative incidents where they can gain viewership.....I hope B-Rock is enjoying his Hawiian vacation he has been silent now that he is being criticized for his anti police rhetoric. And why isn't any of these pukes commenting on the "Cops Lives Don't Matter" message from Philly circulating social media???? (crickets)
I like the way Bill Bratton told in an interview that the NYPD for 400 million to train and get new equipment for his police force......Hey Rahm...you don't even have a fucking medical bag in the squad car...oh and F*CK YOU De Blasio!!
FlOP books.. LMAO. It just goes to show you how this city and department operate. Every other politician and employee has a knife in someone's back. I wonder how much someone got paid off to pull this stunt?
I have never worked for a more dysfunctional company in my life.
Everybody goes out of their way to screw someone over or make their life miserable at work. Unless that is if your with the ass kiss group.
I am so glad I never fell prey to this crap.
Not a bad paying job. However, 90% of the bosses have little to no people or leadership skills.
Micro managing is off the charts. Why is it a Sgt comes on your job and has to take over? If it was up to me I would just leave.
A real leader would stop by and say.. You got this? And if anything wait around in the back round.
I find it very alienating that sgts feel they have to do my job.

Mayor Emmanuel is be getting in the Christmas spirit too. When he sneered at my squad car today it looked like he didn't raise his upper lip.
God bless us all, everyone!
Liberals treating cops now like the left did to the Vietnam vets. Was shameful then and is shameful now!
Will you be posting the funeral dates and time for these officers so other officers can attend
FIRST AND FOREMOST...
We've been blessed (thus far) in 2014 in not losing a CPD member in a line-of-duty death in the last three years.
However, if you've ever wanted to go to Washington DC to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial to support those who gave their lives in the line of duty, perhaps you might want to consider next year to honor these (2014) heroes.
Check the NLEOMF website and/or SCC for details after the first of the year for CPD information on the memorial.
God Bless all our nations military and first responders.
To the unpublished - wrong New York Jet. Try researching before you spout ignorance - we won't always be there to save you from your running mouth.

When I was new I learned about calling for a sgt. I called for one and asked him a question. He said "You're a policeman, figure it out." I learned how to figure stuff out and only call for one if I really stepped in shit and needed the expertise of a real veteran.

THANKS What a thoughtful, well written essay - a really good read.
Let us not forget our Memorial Foundation honoring our Chicago heroes families at this time of year.
They will always remain in our hearts, thoughts and prayers...
"Chicago's Finest"
Has any of our command staff mentioned anything concerning the violent acts toward police.
Now Retired....
Thank-you Nick Mangold and the Steinbrenner's for their show of support in these dark days.
Maybe they could put NYPD decals on their helmets and our own teams could put CPD & CFD decals on theirs.
On a related topic, did anyone else notice this? During the Bears game last Sunday and at other times there was a TV commercial for the charity that supports St. Jude's Children's Hospital founded by the late entertainer Danny Thomas.
Back in 1976 during the time of Mayor Richard J. Daley some things in the CPD were not so great but some were very good.
One thing that was very good was the annual awards show. WE were able to fill the Arie Crown Theater and one year we had none other than FRANK SINATRA to entertain us. The next year we had DANNY THOMAS and each was a wonderful event with a house full of dress blue uniforms and our families. When Old Man Daley died everything fell apart; one show was headlined by a recently released felon.
I noticed in one of the photos of Danny Thomas in the commercial he had a small five pointed star lapel pin. It might have been a CPD commemorative pin that we gave him as thanks for the show that night.
An Old Timer just wants to say Thanks; things sure have changed since then.
God bless him and his family.

"...how do we solve this problem?"
By registering and VOTING!
By getting everyone you know on the phone an in their face and getting them to VOTE THE BASTARDS OUT!
By cutting off their money in any way possible. Is any organization you belong to contributing to these criminals, send the money to the PBA of the NYC for the fallen officers or our own charities for our officers like the Hundred Club.
You are correct. Boss should arrive and ask if all is ok. If you are good then say what do you need me to do? If all good just stay for support/backup or leave and let you handle it and do your job!
If you need help then step in and guide you on how to do it.
The boss is a Supervisor not the handler.....
FOP-----Get a charter jet for our fallen brothers wake and services 25 Dec. You blow tons of $$$$ on visa feeding your face, we want to go NYC to support the NYPD !!
I will never vote Democrat again. I may not vote Republican, but never again Democrat. Same for the family. They may not need my vote, but I am now free, brothers and sisters. They are socialists and liars that stoke up the mob and hate police and anything decent.
There will be an accounting for all of this. Not in this life, but when it really counts there will be.
I hope Obama, Holder and all the other racist poverty pimps burn in hell for what they have done to all law enforcement officers. They have dishonored their office and shown that they have the black agenda as their priority. And if Obama was born in the US why doesn't he just show the birth certificate to the world? He has to be a sleeper terrorist with all the damage he has done to this country.
The CPD is one class act.

God bless you guys. Stay safe!
I've got an old NY Jets sweatshirt,have no idea why, but it's in the wash machine, and will be worn this weekend.
Thanks MANGOLD.
Just an FYI, Comcast is one of the biggest supporters of Al Sharpton. If you have Comcast send a message and cancel their service!
The ST article about operation Santa was about former 013 officer Juan Jacinto who lost an eye when his squad was hit. Very pleased to see he's now a teacher. Juan was a great young cop hurt in a freakish accident.

Was that the accident where the microphone was thrown into his face by the airbag and some street deputy ordered all microphones cut out immediately? The MMD people spent all night with wire cutters cutting off those microphones and then a couple of days later they reinstalled all the microphones. Who says we don't have top notch supervisors. Than god none of those morons were in charge during WWII or we'd be sprechen de deutsch and goose stepping.
Now will mcnumb (Im hiding) wear a NYPD hat? will the "stars" now start wearing clothing supporting police? Nope because they are thugs and cowards! Will do my job,heres your report, you sign complaints,the guy does not want to go to jail,he did nothing to me or police families sorry not going to attempt to take him away unless he wants to go! You have the police department you wanted I guess where are the people marching supporting lawful behavior,supporting POLICE? Thought so!

News from NYC....
De Blasio asked that there be no demonstrations until after the funerals of the murdered officers.
Guess what.

I just started saying this recently. History will repeat itself and decades down the line people will realize..oh crap! We screwed that whole thing with hating the cops up. To this day my heart cracks a little when I a Vietnam vet and I try to at least acknowledge their service. To go through that type of trauma and come home to be treated worse..and I say worse because they knew they weren't safe in Vietnam. They were SUPPOSED to be safe back home. As it will be with us when the smoke clears and after they've done as they wanted with us..and the criminals do as they want with them. I wish it didn't have to come to that.
Dude needs a serious shave!

I was a big fan in the 90s but I didn't expect this. And they have no problem calling people out on the carpet and going toe to toe with people so I doubt they will receive any real criticism. People are legitimately afraid of them and though they have matured a lot and have a global fan base...everybody knows they have smacked around quite a few "tough guy" rappers.
I have a good friend that is a cop. I am giving him fresh ammo for Xmas .He is close to retiring and I want to see him get there.

Amen to that. Back in the pre-McNumbnuts days when we had enough manpower and Captains running the watches everyone on our West-side midnight crew backed each other up. You didn't have to ask but a second or third car would show up even to a routine job.
On most jobs a street boss would show up and if they were first they would handle and code the job. If not, they would pull up within sight and let you know they were there and you would handle it. If things went bad they would jump right in. If not they would wait, if you needed help give the boss the high sign.
What we avoided was to have the boss show up when you were closing up but maybe someone wasn't satisfied and now that the boss was here was going to tell the story all over again, with changes.
Stay Safe and Merry Christmas and hope that better days are coming.
