It's a "rumor." We gave it no credence. It seemed like a humorous piece at most to lighten up the mood. Evidently, a lot of people took it to heart.
Ladies and Gents, we get trolls here. They post nonsense to provoke. It's a hobby to them. They post nonsense to get you to over-react to Rahm things or Chuy things or Department things or whatever. We catch some, we allow some, we miss some. Some are just so over-the-top, we use them as a convenient foil to attempt a little levity with you the readers, especially during the slow new days...the banner says, "Sarcasm and Silliness."
This was one of those times. If we really thought it was something, we would probably have posted the "un-fucking-believable" tag.

It is funny, and thanks for the laugh. If I hold up a card, I want an ice cream.
i figured that out 30 seconds into my 1st. time on your site years ago...not a cop
Well, the way this dept., city, state, and country are headed, it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility, considering quiet rooms, transgender locker rooms and PPO's who have their mommies calling them in sick. I admit it, you got me.
The red card sounded like a dumb Liberal idea, you had to post it.
Not a rumor this time
LEMMER IS GONE FROM 011
Heading to inspector division. God help us all he's gonna be citywide now.
As an honorable troll why sweat it.
If everyone is doing their job is what would happen?
But if you have ghost employees and unqualified person then screw them.
The quality is apparent what is hired by the city! the future is not looking rosy.
Twenty-five years ago, we'd been laughing at it. But today, with the numbskulls that are in charge, you can't put it past them.
I cannot believe you have the balls to slam this man. He is the hardest working member of the academy. John never says no to anyone. he works hard 8 plus hours a day. What happened to his wife is absolutely none of your business. No one cares more for the FTO program than John. 35th street treats the FTO program as a joke. Name one white shirt who cares about the FTO program? Then you mention clout? 75% of this job is clout. He earned his spot and works hard to help recruits and FTO's. Now go back to your basement apt, asshat.
Please allow me to responded.
I own my house and I believe you are a puss head.
You state that a spot at the academy is earned ! What are the criteria for this earning ? ( White shirt ball licking ? ) then you go on about a deceased wife. No shit if you didn't have any bad days in life but that was John's excuse to get out of 015. So before you put on your mommies pants on and call out people who know what type of person John really is ask yourself can I back up my words. No war stories here house mouse.
Sorry if people believe everything I post. Lighten up people otherwise you might expire before your time.
"It seemed like a humorous piece at most to lighten up the mood. Evidently, a lot of people took it to heart."
There's a reason for that -- there is so much BS like this that really being rammed down our throats that something like this is entirely believable.
This "Red Card" business has become a meme, a thought-virus, another buzzphrase-of-the-moment to be yabbled out by the mindless. "Hey, red card, red card. You're my go-to guy. I'll put it on my bucket list."
The social engineers are holding up the red card like crazy. Here --
http://bctf.ca/uploadedFiles/Public/SocialJustice/Issues/Antiracism/showracismweb_.pdf
A whole "Show Racism The Red Card" "anti-racist and multicultural education" program based on it. Look at the cover photo.
Whole NGOs have instantly formed around this, and they're multiplying.

"We get trolls here. They post nonsense to provoke."
"Provoked" an interesting discussion, and I learned a lot looking into this. Otherwise, the fools are largely ignored, or are occasionally refuted, put down, and insulted. They come back daily, hoping that someone will tell them that they're a two-year-old.
Same kind of person who gets off on giving out the wrong street directions, sending strangers miles out of their way. Hell, there are people who pay to be beaten with whips. One guy in Germany answered an Internet posting from a cannibal who stated that he was looking for someone to kill and eat. The fellow contacted Hannibal, showed up at the appointed time, and was duly killed, cooked, and eaten.

What can you say?
Sun Tiimes today page 9 by Gene Lyons , report Fergunson coverage by media was to please readers., not concerned with facts.
Some of you call yourselves police officers? Look, the story sounded outlandish and stupid right from the beginning. If you were so inclined, it could have been verified very quickly by calling the academy. Or are you going to believe in the tri lateral commission ufo elvis presley conspiracy theory just because someone posts it on a blog? Learn how to think.
Total bs.
the numb nuts on 890am ran with it as gospel yesterday morning.going to 560am now.

I understand the excuse or opportunity for him to leave the district and be assigned to the academy. But he does work hard and always available to help anyone. I speak as one who works with him daily. I understand not everyone is qualified but he earns the respect of the staff. No, I do not believe you can back up your words and I do not believe in war stories. Wow you own your own house. Move on and find something else to bitch about.
With the way things are going these days, I wasn't surprised that it was true. You got me.
Real good SCC... you just gave the command staff an idea.
Regardless, the academy needs a big shake up there. Too many police officers there for too long. Need new blood there!
. No, I do not believe you can back up your words and I do not believe in war stories. Wow you own your own house. Move on and find something else to bitch about.
Then by all means a beat car is only a par form away and yes you do tell war stories only to inflate your prestige with the PPO's. And yes I will bitch and moan about strokes like you who are tooooo chicken shit to do this job and hide on Jackson.
OT: Does anyone know the irony of "The Behind the Vest" program? It's one of those things that leaves a smirk on my face.
Of course the program is undeniable to The PO looking to return to their respective Families at the end of the tour. Generous as well both financial and practical.
The Lt. in charge of this(DH)doesn't work streets. Like a maid that doesn't do windows(DH)only works where he wants to work. If DH gets bounced out of some place he was at he hid in Districts like 019 on days spending his tour eating at the many places a person could in 019. I'll back this up.
When DH was hiding in 019 continually opening his YAPPER about his AM radio show about conservatism, Bourban, and cigars a really interesting thing happened. It was All Saints Day for days and midnights. Everyone who worked Halloween chipped in and by the time the sun came up the midnite Coppers were spent. Dispatch notifies of Radio Assignments Pending and hit up DH for notification purposes. They ask DH to handle a simple gig. He reluctantly agrees. Days is out and at a DOmestic. Same time shots fired at a burrito joint the county guys work that scared the shit out of the owner so bad he wouldn't even come out. Slim Dave walks out and says "I checked inside. There's no casings." Kinda odd that's multiple shots were fired, owner scared shitless, and no casings. DH tells my Partner not to call him cuz he has some Fam issues and is going to attempt a multi task type thing. We don't want DH around anyway cuz we fought our way out of a DOmestic and when we made it out DH never entered or even made it appear that he was going to help in any way.
As my Partner and I are writing the case report for the shots at the burrito joint another Sgt shows up. He asks if there are any casings. We told that Sgt exactly what we knew, that DH was inside and said no. We hadn't checked yet cuz we did the job DH said he was going to do and didn't and ended up with the shots at Burrito joint. The Sgt asks us where DH is and we tell him he went to the DOmestic that the 2nd watch Coppers were at. A weird look shows on the Sgts face as two 2nd watch Coppers show up to our job. The Sgt says where were you guys coming from? The 2nd watch Coppers say we had that DOmestic. U know? The DOmestic DH was at. The Sgt asks where DH is and the two 2nd watch Coppers tell the Sgt that they hadn't seen DH all day so far.
About 15 minutes later DH pulls with that satisfied look some1 has after they've eaten. The second Sgt said to both the 2nd watch Coppers, my Partner, and myself "Holy Shit! He's been eating!" The Sgt immediately walks in the burrito joint and comes out with 5 casings. U know? The casings that Mr. Behind The Vest said weren't there.
DH had a real nasty accident in which he truly needed some time off. Rib Fest was going on up on Lincoln Ave. We go up there while it's still just chaotic and whose sitting there working Rib Fest? U guest it. Lt. DH who still had many more months left IOD.
The Lt that runs Behind The Vest would spend his time trying to FIRE U if U pulled any of the SHIT he pulled.
U'd B folding shirts at American Eagle if Lt(4 years in a head lock)caught U doing anything remotely close to what he did.
They say when a man carries a lot of weight around the mid section, uses tobacco, and alcohol in excess past the age of 40 he's flirting with a potential cardiac event. Lt. Behind The Vest is probably pushing 50 with a clear stress on his body that reminds me of a person that's shockingly older in appearance then his/ her chronological age suggests.
Again I smirk when I think that this guy is responsible for such a generous and practical program for Coppers in places that he doesn't do.
It's Holy Week speaking of Miracles. Happy Easter to ALL. Conservative/liberal, Man/Woman, Coppers/The people that run The Behind The Vest Program.
Thank God. I did call bullshit on this one (not too many times I'm right.) but i give my props, it was pretty funny, whether it was an all out joke or unfounded rumor that got of control.

890 WLS am radio getting worse and worse, with the addition of the 2 No-Talent, No Intelligence, Has-Been screwball Losers, Steve Dahl, (allI do is talk about stupid shit and food), and Johnathan Brandmeier, (I sucked decades ago and still do). Other than Rush and Dr.Savage, the station is worthless, especially in reporting its news on the half hour in an unbiased manner, they always take the Liberal stance on any News Related issues.
What can you say?

Suggestion: Boss, I've got really bad gas, for the sake of my co-workers is it OK if I go home early today?
