Gig the Sergeants?
An amusing rumor - but we've been around far too long to dismiss it out of hand:
- Sergeants will now be disciplined for patrolmen's uniform infractions.
If you were all good at roll call, then changed to unapproved items after roll call, the sgt is liable for that if an inspector grabs you for it. Even if the sgt hasn't SEEN you since roll call, the sgt is taking the hit.
And, no, this isn't a clever bit of sarcasm. It's the Dept's latest insane policy.
This looks like a perfectly winnable slam-dunk grievance (and hostile workplace lawsuit) for the PBPA should it ever come to pass. Discipline for someone doing something they haven't even seen? We could indict the entire city council for accepting bribes in that case.
...unless they're actually going to assign a sergeant to ride with each and every patrol officer on the streets? Could that be the hidden plan? Have we discovered the Rahm plot to promote and extra seven-thousand sergeants who would then owe him eternal and undying allegiance?
This could be brilliant! And we'd actually have a chance of making sergeant for the first time in three tests!

Just wanted to give you a laugh. This is my favorite blog for information about what is happening in Chicago.
Either way this is an Onion Article that is really hitting close to home with Rahm and his property tax proposals.

Figured you might get a laugh out of it.
The Beatings will continue until Morale Disintegrates.
If they'd introduced this policy back when this department still had a majority of what were real men wearing the uniform, handfuls would've coordinated to make sure the sergeants who were the biggest jagoffs had it stuck deep in their ass.
But since this policy wasn't around circa 1986+, coppers who were real men threw fists in the parking lot or at the gin mill after work and settled it then and there. No CR's. No rank pulled. No getting the Captain involved if you got your ass handed to you. And sure as hell no GOCR's or CB numbers generated.
The whole "shit rolls downhill" thingy might actually be fun for once if it means watching your favorite sergeants get their dicks slapped first. That, of course, if the rumor has any legs. Time will tell...
Roll call will be legit
How about a sergeant and two patrol officers? The extra eyes and extra firepower might be needed.
Las Vegas went to two officers per car after an officer was ambushed this week. Three days later a patrol car with two officers was also attacked.
Why doesn't The so-called mayor worry about the crime in Chicago, and leave the police and what they're wearing alone! tiny dancer,is a pure ass!
Chicagoans are getting shot and murdered at a daunting rate, and your dress code is the most important topic for your leaders?
I guess small minds really are comforted by small details.
And if the Lt conducts roll call (in violation of the GOs, but whatever)? They gonna get gigged too?
A friend, who says this is true, says he's going to have to take a photo of everyone on his log every time he sees them. I was lucky to see, and maybe get a wave from, every car assigned to me, with two sheets of people to log, much less get them to pose for a photo. The whole department has gone off the rails.
they did that in housing south along time ago. It was the only way to get some of the boys to stop wearing 10 pounds of jewelry
And we'd actually have a chance of making sergeant for the first time in three tests!
LOL! Hope you still have a Chinaman, Rabbi, Juice, Phone call, Envelope, or a Reverend to back you up. It's all Legit my friend!
Yeah, that's a great "out." Last saw him/her at roll call. Unless, of course, he logged them on his sheets after that. Maybe about the time the wrath of Gerry descended (Inspectors) on the officer.
Rahm and the department has had a hard on for Sgt.'s ever since the Sgt.'s won their grievance regarding out of grade pay for doing W/C's job.
Rahm is a very sore loser.
Next Sgt. class is right around the corner too, September or October.
Per the Sun-Times, ald. cardenas sides with Riot Fest vs hospital. St Anthony's is suing to stop Riot Fest over the noise it will create.
Of course a Chicago alderchump sides with a corparation over constituents. How much of a bribe...errr donation did the alderfool collect?
The order was read in rollcall this morning.
Why you think Rahm hand picked, Lori Lightfoot?
Come on!, So she can fire the ones Rahm and mc drunky sends her way. Duh!
What guarantee do any Sergeants have, that you won't have a mole in your department send by the rahmgoonions on purpose to tarnish a sergeants record because of a third party?
Is like me saying Imma lock up Rauner cause Rod Blogo was selling the senate seat. Or better yet, is like saying "Monica Lewinski" is preggers by Bill Clinton because she swallowed.
More Calea crap.
More insanity.
Lets just have everybody wear long sleeve shirts. Everybody will wear the same uniform reguardless of where or what you work.
PBPA whats that? Is that RAHMS fan club that tried to sandbag the contract?
gerry is going to bail. He knows just how ridiculous these new contact cards are going to be. I predict double the shootings the next 12 months after this goes into effect. If I lived in the ghetto, I'd be very very concerned. Bullets will be flying.
An inspector would have a field day at our 2nd watch, late car roll call.
PO's wearing no duty/gun belts. A certain dog ass female showing up late everyday, wearing white bottomed sneakers, no weapon or vest, no gun belt, shirt untucked. A total slob. The same people late, every single day. The Lt is good people. But I wish she'd get into their asses.
They've been doing this type of discipline off and on forever. If your a Sgt., get clot to help you get out of patrol because your going to get fucked.
Their going to gig the sgt. and the officer, two for one that's really the plan.
When Martin was superintendent he was obsessed with the wearing of the hat. My WC said if he saw us without a hat the sgt would get dinged. He was a stroke and would do it . We respected our sgt and did what we had to do so yes that program can work.
how about when cars don't answer the radio? why do dispatchers on zone 6 go to another car instead or redlining car?WHAT IF OFFICERS ARE IN DISTRESS AND CANT ANSWER?sgts should demand officers answer for safety,and then handle assignment! get with it 1st watch zone 6 oemc!!
I'm glad I retired. Done with telling adults what to do and what not to do as they play dumb and try doing whatever the hell they want. The lts and cpts play dumb and allow their pets and/or lovers to do whatever the hell they want and the sgts take the fall as always.
I am glad I did not get involved in law enforcement, at least not big city law enforcement. I would not be good at putting up with this kind of crap.
I've heard this has been going on in LA for years...
it isn't happening no promotions unless you live in Bridgeport or mt greenwood
....and if the officer was in station at any time after roll call--they can gig the DSS too!
The LTs ,Captain and Commander should also be written up if they are on the sheets as working. What a joke!!!!
This is especially good since the department is short of sergeants. Some sergeants have 3 pages of people on their logs that they're supposed to be supervising. It shows how mean spirited and out of touch our upper echelon is.
Not a rumor. Heard it outfits mouth of an inspector. Sergeants routinely have between 15-20 cars on their log and are supposed to keep track of whether each officer has their uniform firmly intact at all times. Completely unreasonable.
Never seen a PO come into roll call in the proper uniform then run to the locker room and change into something unauthorized to wear. Gig the sergeants and lieutenants. Tired of us looking like a bunch of Streets and Sans workers. Time to at least look professional. Really not that hard.

Now I know what change into after Sgt VM from CTA Special employment just inspected me. LOL. This is the easiest way to get her dumped from CTA.
Bye bye VM....
I heard an Inspector telling our Sgt that we would be required to wear our stars under our vests. If we are not wearing our stars the inspector stated he would write up our sgt. I do remember the vest manufactor instructions cleary state we are NOT to wear anything metal or stiff enought to imped a vests ablity to absorb a bullet. I guess the Capt didn't read those instructions. Can someone at FLOP tell the department that its time for sewn on stars and name tage for our blue shirts.

opps! maybe the manila envelope was misplaced full of cash? did the alderman lose his share of a payoff?
That was CPD policy in the 70's .
Copper had long sideburns , hair over collar , worn uniforms , no beat tag , the officer would receive a reprimand , sarge would get a day.
Back then everyone wore their star , we were not worried about losing it or some punk ripping it off our shirt . Big write up for Patrolman and sergeant , on a crime scene if a patrolman wasn't wearing his hat and a sergeant was on the scene .
Big time trouble for sergeant . Now , officers have goatees , hoodies , purple stocking caps , girls with pony tails down to belt and sergeant is afraid to correct them .
This has happened before, the "big bad wolf" threatens then it all calms down! The difference now is that we actually have SCC "The truth in news to keep us informed" so the man behind the curtain can be revealed!
Im in my 25th year, and have 18 as a sergeant. I've heard this before, it won't fly. All I have to do is walk into the front office a gig every officer who is there (all females) who are not in compliance and never are in compliance with the uniform standards. I'm a district bid, and a watch bid, I can't be moved, and if it they push it I'll hit the medical or get an IOD. So there..........furthermore we have a number of inspectors that live in the district I work, so if they want this OK, live with the consequences, but I don't see it happening ......on the other hand this department is soooooooo corrupt and done nothing surprises me anymore.......
I am OK with it I hate mine so I will go out of way to get gigged!

How about you do your job and answer the radio instead of sleeping? Dispatcher is correct. If they are in trouble Sgt is supposed to arrange a search party like with a high risk missing and find them.
If someone on mids had a bad night you make a deal with another car to cover your ass if you cant get time due. Its been done that way for years if you have a good watch

MANY supervisors nowadays in the cpd could use a beat down at the hands of the troops...
That's fine, but write these goofy supervisors for being out of uniform as well. this do as I say, not as I do bullshit doesn't work. Hear that juice baby supervisors?
Aren't the Sgts the supervisors? Then they should supervise! If they can't get their officers to obey and respect the rules, they are not supervisory material!

SCC has not let me post in the past about what were the consequences of being a jagg off sergeant but ,boy are there some great stories out there. Ahh, memories.
I believe it, this has been a long time coming. Why do coppers think they can do whatever the fuck they want. When they are in the academy they adhere the uniform policy to a T as soon as they get off probation they were whatever hey want however they' want. Don't want to be constantly reprimanded about your uniform try washing it, ironing it, sew falling off patches, shave, ladies put your hair up and clip does finger nails, shine does shoes(sneakers are not uniform), wear a duty belt, wear your star on your shirt and not on your belt, etc.... It's not that difficult
I recently saw an inspector on the street without a vest.
The Lt is good people. But I wish she'd get into their asses.
9/07/2015 07:56:00 AM
No. This expression is not going to part of America's vernacular. I will not let it. I don't care what I have to do, this shall not stand. I gave in on "my bad" and "I'm lovin it", but this is going too far. I will start caring a bat and start hitting people so help me God.
Will this apply to all police officers Dept wide wearing the entire proper uniform? Headquarters and school units wearing duty belts and vests?? What say you old chums?
This is definitely Rahm attempting to "stick it in the Sgt.'s ear" for them winning their grievance against him n McNutty awhile back.
Let's take this whole accountability to the next level and include politicians. Make the Mayor responsible when there's the inevitable, annual Aldermanic indictment.
While we're at it how about Rahm being responsible and culpable for the indicted/jailed Comptroller that he hand picked and the indicted BBB that he also hand picked.
Ahhhh....Retirement. Fly fishing in Minnesota. Disney World with the grandkids. A quiet dinner with my first (and only) wife. Uniforms and roll call inspection a fading memory. Keep your eye on the goal kids.
RIP Officer Pete Malloy
Dear 9/07/2015 11:20:00 AM,
You can't wear anything metal or stiff under your vest?
You mean, like a ceramic trauma plate or a stab plate?
Have you ever been the police?
The shit some people believe and regurgitate on here is ridiculous.
As a retired member of the CPD - Supt Garry Mc Carthy should have donned his uniform and gone to the massive outpouring of police support and attended the funeral of Lt Joe Gliniewicz of the Fox Lake PD. A CR should be issued for failure to represent the CPD and he could have witnessed the massive display of community sympathy & respect.
Hey Garry - if you are sooo concerned about uniform appearance why didn't you attend the funeral in uniform?? The Governor found the time to pay his respects .... How about you?
Let's not walk out like a bunch of hobos.
Right now, there is open war on the police in the streets. This is what they come up with?

Wow. Rarely do I see such vitriole on display on this blog; however, when I do it most surely emanates from from an author as uneducated and unpolished as yourself. You proudly state that arguments should ultimately be resolved in a parking lot or gin mill much like a ghetto mule might choose to settle a grievance. And for what, because you can't shave before work or you wear brown shoes to roll call? You are just the buffoon who needs to desperately needs to suck up to me because your stupidity left unchecked by supervision would likely land you in a jail cell. Take your "real men" and stick it in your ear-you wouldn't recognize one if he rolled over in bed next to you, mister angry man. I've seen plenty like you and yours at roll calls and it's a rare day when you actually retire with a a pension instead of an IR#. Be a real man and learn to do what is expected of you and you'll be a shining star. Speaking of shining stars I'm hearing the city is rushing to get my lieutenants test scored in six weeks. Until then I'll return to my six hour lunch and then finish SPARing another goof like you.
OT --
18-mile procession with 1,500 police vehicles for the Gliniewicz funeral today, and the Trib paywalls the story.
Making more friends by the day, aren't ya?
Gig the office staff also for taking off, coming in late, leaving early without turning in a time due slip. The rest of the watch has to turn in slips when taking off, come in late or leave early. Northwest Side District.
Sounds good to me cause I can't stand my sgt, so ding away inspectors and take money out of his pockets.

Mr. Fart,
I can assure it still goes on, only it's not the real men on the job throwing fists at the gin mill. It's the real women!
Remember, all polive are equal, execpt some police are more equal.
Now bring me some numbers you serfs.
Love GMac.
Then write inspector R.P. The last time I saw that ass he was still wearing a Near West name tag.
Who really cares anymore? More "kindergarten cop" moves as school begins! Sorry respect for the management is gone! At 1 time bosses were bosses now all scared political hacks? What's the going rate to be a gold star? How many "tickets do you have to buy?"at least not long ago blue shirts were respected and were backed up now? Come on be serious boss you want us to do what again? Don't want to make any boss "sick to my stomach " about anything!
So a Sergeant will get gigged if a P.O.is caught by an inspector as being out of uniform. The wrath of a pissed off Sergeant can be worse then any inspectors beef. As a Sergeant you can make up for any transgression that a P.O. might incur from a clueless inspector. I don't give a rats ass about how a working P.O. wears his uniform. A non-working P.O. will suffer the consequences. There are more important things to do. So its not going to work. Dog asses will suffer as usual. The working P.O's and Sergeant will not.
What happened to the good old days of Hill Street Blues? I remember the one guy wore a cowboy hat and boots. This is just to prepare you for the tutu's and tights Rahm will be introducing as part of the official police uniform. It will be a problem running in the ballet shoes but hey they don't want you to catch the bad guy anyway. lmfao
Lets just have everybody wear long sleeve shirts. Everybody will wear the same uniform reguardless of where or what you work.
WTF will that solve. MORAL??? Fix the stupid brass with their fucked up priorities. Good Grief uniforms is the departments priority concern over all the other important issues at hand. fucken imbeciles
U04-01, Section XIX, Paragraph I, Subparagraph 8.
Members will not conceal, or alter the star, badge, cap shield / insignia, or nameplate / unit designator while in uniform.
Therefore, it CANNOT be worn under the vest carrier. Let the boss write you up for it, then hit them with their own orders. And throw in an EEOC beef for harassment since they are supposedly aware of the order and consciously chose to disregard it to write you up. Nip this SH!T in the bud!
Signed,
“Da’ Truth”
Time to start making Sgt.s act like Sgt.s??????????? What a novel F&*^%ing idea. Gee leadership by example
i was a Sgt back in the 90's in 007.that's how it was back then, but then again we had inspectors writing us up for good shit, actually giving us a pat on the back, for excellent response time,diffusing situations,what ever bull shit they came up with, it was all good.but back then the inspectors were guys like joe marrato,jim solava,dave bocian.....yeah big bird and toby before him were a pain.

Garanimals.
This has been threatened many times before. Never happens. If you like your sarge, he's good. If not.....I have seen guys put their hats in their lockers just so their AH Sgt. would get tagged.
And after a few incidents like this, why does the culpability stop at the sergeant? Why not gig the Field Lt???? Give him 3!!
Well know the Orders for clothing and equipment pertaining what is prescribed and what is optional. Been my experience that most Sgts Lts and Capt don't know the Orders like they make people think they do. Hell if you are a PO learn the Orders. Knowledge is power.
There was a Sgt in 011 who was summoned to the DC office back in the day and while in uniform had a lengthy conversation with DC. The DC prided himself on knowing the Orders, though he was a Martin hack. After the conversation the Sgt walks out. The DC, always inspected everyone's uniform, when he spoke/yelled at you, never realized that the firearm/pistol worn by the Sgt had not been authorized by the Dept yet.
Bosses are as smart as they think they are.

But heaven forbid sgt's enforce the haircut standards. What would happen if a white

time for the sergeants to start earning their pay. And for Christs sake start reading these reports the officers are sending you. I don't so much care about punctuation, spelling or grammar. I would just be glad if I can understand what the Fck you are trying to report. Make sure the ucr is correct and matches the narrative. Make sure the drop down boxes are used for descriptions. When the drop down boxes are not used and the description is put into the narrative, when conducting an offender description search it will not show up. stop being lazy! who gives a fck how long it takes, if you do it right no one can gig you....
I agree that the sergeant should be gigged . It's long overdue ! Many sergeants are afraid to address
These issues because they will become targets of the persons who needs to have his uniform standards enforced .
So who do they then do? They concentrate all their efforts to the people they can . The ones that will not retaliate against them.
Makes a situation even worse ! U wanted the money and the
Job ? Do your job period
Gig the office staff also for taking off, coming in late, leaving early without turning in a time due slip. The rest of the watch has to turn in slips when taking off, come in late or leave early. Northwest Side District.

Apparently that shit goes on all over. Under our new DC the ever expanding ranks of office staff are guilty of that and more.
If this is true, then the department should be holding the LT, Cpt, DC, AC, ADS, IDS, and the Sup also all accountable.
The person that wrote this has obviously never been in an Infantry unit.

As a retired member of the CPD - Supt Garry Mc Carthy should have donned his uniform and gone to the massive outpouring of police support and attended the funeral of Lt Joe Gliniewicz of the Fox Lake PD. A CR should be issued for failure to represent the CPD and he could have witnessed the massive display of community sympathy & respect.
Hey Garry - if you are sooo concerned about uniform appearance why didn't you attend the funeral in uniform?? The Governor found the time to pay his respects .... How about you?
He wasn't there?!?!?! Fuck him. What a slap in the face to Lt. Gliniewicz, his family, and the Fox Lake/Antioch communities. RIP Lt.
My Papers are IN for 2016! We need 18 more!
I can't believe that there is so much negative comment for something that should have been done years ago. Sergeants supervise Police Officers and should be held accountable for their actions. This means that Sergeants will have to start taking action when they see a violation. That is how the system is supposed to work. I will never understand how this organization became so lax that a Sergeant, or Lieutenant or Captain is an asshole when he tries to do the right thing.
OT --
18-mile procession with 1,500 police vehicles for the Gliniewicz funeral today, and the Trib paywalls the story.
Making more friends by the day, aren't ya?
9/07/2015 05:49:00 PM
The trib paywall is pathetically easy to get around. Just search for the headline in google, and use the link you get back - trib doesn't block requests where referer=google.com. Most of their crap isn't worth paying for anyway. I'm not going to subscribe just to read Kass' column.
You want to intentionally get a Sgt gigged? Be careful what you wish for. That Sgt.has numerous ways to get payback.
It is very simple Boys and Girls!!!!!. Come to work in the proper uniform period. Wear your hair like it is supposed to be worn, this applies to all, if you are a female with long hair, pin it up, because your [ponytail can be used to drag your ass around by an offender, for all you African American Brothers and sisters in blue, screw your little decorations hanging from your Dreds!!! Present yourselves like a professional and maybe, just maybe you will be treated a little better. now I know what you are thinking that this is BULLSHIT!!! and I always heard from coppers, Hey, this is a SHIT DISTRICT, why should I dress nice and I'm too busy to shave, I was in court all day, or I got up late. Tough, the rules are for all, and it is a Sergeants job along with the WC's to conduct uniform inspection and ensure that you are in conformance. Maybe you think that they are messing with you, but just do what you are paid to do. I am a retired Sergeant who only asked that my troops came to work looking good and got to details on time !!!. It worked and we all survived. STAY SAFE AND HEALTHY !!!!!!

Did you even read what was posted? they are looking to gig sergeants for violations they haven't even seen. No one halfway intelligent thinks supervisors shouldn't supervise, but tagging people for stuff they have no knowledge of? That's just horseshit

If they'd introduced this policy back when this department still had a majority of what were real men wearing the uniform, handfuls would've coordinated to make sure the sergeants who were the biggest jagoffs had it stuck deep in their ass.
But since this policy wasn't around circa 1986+, coppers who were real men threw fists in the parking lot or at the gin mill after work and settled it then and there. No CR's. No rank pulled. No getting the Captain involved if you got your ass handed to you. And sure as hell no GOCR's or CB numbers generated.
The whole "shit rolls downhill" thingy might actually be fun for once if it means watching your favorite sergeants get their dicks slapped first. That, of course, if the rumor has any legs. Time will tell...
Wow. Rarely do I see such vitriole on display on this blog; however, when I do it most surely emanates from from an author as uneducated and unpolished as yourself. You proudly state that arguments should ultimately be resolved in a parking lot or gin mill much like a ghetto mule might choose to settle a grievance. And for what, because you can't shave before work or you wear brown shoes to roll call? You are just the buffoon who needs to desperately needs to suck up to me because your stupidity left unchecked by supervision would likely land you in a jail cell. Take your "real men" and stick it in your ear-you wouldn't recognize one if he rolled over in bed next to you, mister angry man. I've seen plenty like you and yours at roll calls and it's a rare day when you actually retire with a a pension instead of an IR#. Be a real man and learn to do what is expected of you and you'll be a shining star. Speaking of shining stars I'm hearing the city is rushing to get my lieutenants test scored in six weeks. Until then I'll return to my six hour lunch and then finish SPARing another goof like you.

You disparage "a ghetto mule" as you call it and then brag about a 6 hour lunch AFTER accusing the original poster of being uneducated and unpolished. If cops aren't some of the most contradictory morons I have ever encountered. I expect it on the street but some of "you" are much worse than many of "them." Enjoy your 6 hour lunch. Spare us any "what's wrong with America" speeches, will you?

I don't disagree that we officers should be capable of handling their own issues without getting supervisors involved, but I don't know what you're thinking by stating that people should be boxing in the parking lot. You want to resolve issues with violence, and I bet you scream and shout when the south and west sides use violence to resolve their issues. You can't have it both ways.

Memories! Worked in 008 years ago, there was a lounge on Kedzie The Velvet Hammer, a copper hangout! 1 night working beat 823 get a call about "fight in parking lot" Pulled up there was a fight 2 top bosses boxing in the lot can you guess the names! They are both dead now but anyone else remember lots of cars arrived to be spectators! Hint 1 was called "skelator" the other the most famous news letter included him hint lets say he would park his unmarked by a bar on archer and central (Now closed) get liquored up and drive home!

Oh Boy, My Sergeant is none other Tricky. He has been messing with PO's ever since he made Sergeant and is the most miserable person anyone could ever work for.
So if this is true then right after roll call I am going to change into a uniform which will Jam him up by the inspector.
Its Payback time Tricky.

Hey McStreetlights has no knowledge of police work but that hasn't stopped people from dinging him??
What the hell do some of the idiots in this thread think a sergeant's job is? If all you you can expect to get from your sgt is a lesson in uniform standards, I am sorry for you. I have worked a long time gaining experience so that now I can serve the p.o.' S on the street. Helping out when they get stuck, backing them up, trying to lead by example, sending po's home early whenever I can. We are all adults, it's time we all started acting like it. Have some pride. Many police officers have died wearing the uniform you are privileged to wear. But getting excited about your shy getting gigged over uniform is bullshit. I will take a day for sending you home early, but I get a day because you want to look cool with your beard/tattoo, fuck you!

Ugh, it's call the general orders. I think the officer above is referencing dreads. They look and smell nasty. If a women has long hair she gets gigged for not having every hair up, then so should you pal. Above the neckline. I hope Mc Carthy forces all of us to get a buzz cut.

If its true, the dept is doing this to cause problems between the ranks, the above banter shows that its working. Oldest trick in the book-divide and conquer. If both the POs and the SGTs do what is minimally expected of them, they can still keep the wolves at bay and take care of each other at the same time. Remember who the real enemy is.

LMFAO! thats agood one :} sad reality most of those tools have no or little field experience and looking the part but only doing easy traffic stops and oemc signed complaints arrest are not real policing anymore than the desk dolly who is the real police because they deal with the public (hahahaha sorry broke out in laughter)
Being the police or so as i was taught growing up is that you watch, observe, engage. Its a lot of proactive actions but also reactive and situational. It will not be cookie cutter clean as them wise instructors (LMAO)tell ya, those true "wise instructors" have all retired

"We demand our own police department under the control of the community..."
"The Milice Volontaires de la Sécurité Nationale (MVSN),was a Haitian paramilitary force founded in 1958. The MVSN, commonly known as the Tonton Macoutes, was notorious for corruption and brutality.
"In Haitian Creole mythology, Tonton Macoutes was a bogeyman who kidnapped errant children in the night and stored them in his knapsack. Those who were kidnapped, it was said, were never seen again.
"After surviving an attempted coup in 1958 and growing increasingly paranoid, Duvalier...[transferred] the army's weaponry and ammunition to the palace...Duvalier created a loyal force of armed men that became his personal militia, the Tonton Macoutes. By 1963, the Macoutes were under Duvalier's personal control.
"It is estimated that in 1959, as many as 25,000 Haitians were members of the Tonton Macoutes. Their trademark attire was dark glasses, expensive clothes, and gun-filled holsters. [They] terrorized the local population, stealing land and money and raping women.
"The fall of Duvalierism resulted in the disbanding of the MVSN. Some of the former Tonton Macoutes fled the country while many who remained were subject to violent reprisal. In the subsequent elections in 1986, ex-Tonton Macoutes allegedly fired at voters, killing 34, and continued to rebel during the period of political turmoil up until 2000."

What a scene. All those rope-handled, metal-cornered crates of expired-date rockets and stuff must have been hell on the parquet floor of the palace ballroom, dragging it all in, dropping it, stacking it...

Again I'll say: I can (and have) document(ed) with the best of them. You can follow thru with one or all of the idle threats you listed. I really, REALLY hope you'd try that with me because you couldn't and wouldn't be able to justify hammering one guy (me) while I document the fact that you don't enforce the rules and GOs across the board. See how easy it is to show that you'd be discriminating? Trust me when I say I'd outfox you and your little game. Just the fact that you're dumb enough to list HOW you'll discriminate tells me all I need to know. And again I'll say "Let's dance". You're just another white shirt that's too smart for his own good.

Again I'll say: I can (and have) document(ed) with the best of them. You can follow thru with one or all of the idle threats you listed.

How about both of you strokes shut the fuck up. Trust me, no likes either one of you and everyone knows you are nowhere near as smart as you think you are.

"It is time for a return to the 1980's. When the Sergeant had the respect of the P/O's, we would not do anything to cause an issue for the boss. It ain't that hard to follow the simple uniform standards.

Hold On Champ, It depended on who the Sgt. was.
Alot of them were Drunks, Dopers, Whore Chasers & Outright thieves. So Save the Misty eyed nostalgia for the next retiree breakfast.

Yea, that's why we liked them. They never hurt us. They only hurt themselves.
