Gullible Fools
These assholes would applaud their own execution if Rahm told them that the noose was a new swing set:
- Aldermen cheered a mayoral proposal to put 319 more police officers on the street Monday as a spoonful of sugar to help the 2016 budget get passed.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced Sunday that he'd move an additional 319 officers off desk duty and onto the street, replacing them with administrative workers, as part of his 2016 budget proposal to be submitted to the City Council on Tuesday.
According to Emanuel, the officers "are currently working as Freedom of Open Information Officers, nurses, crossing-guard supervisors, watch relief/police aides, watch secretaries, alternate response call takers, detention aides and property custodians." He has previously touted moving officers from desk duty to the streets during spikes in shootings and violence.
Um, should these officers already be on the street preventing the "spikes" of violence? Or would that make actual sense?
Also, as we pointed out just days ago, the Detention Aides are already civilians, so whatever smoke Rahm is blowing is just that.....smoke. Watch Relief are bid spots by Contract, so those people aren't going anywhere but one day a week. They already got rid of Watch Secretaries the last time around....oh wait, that was a shady paper move. Sorry. And a bunch of people at Callback are stripped of police powers - they're kind of "prisoners of war" unless Rahm is suddenly going to exonerate and absolve them of pending charges?
What a bunch of morons. And the media that prints this drivel without asking...you know...actual cops, aid and abet the moron-ity.

When I worked in 022 the watch secretary was some BS beat car that always got put down on paper for the night. Scam. Funny you'd call for a mobile but ever get a response.
Lies...Lies...I don't believe it. 300 people including everyone else from previous reassignment, means that no one will be left to work at HQ, but it would finally be easier to park at HQ with less people/cars at HQ....nope all LIES...LIES... eat it up all you dumb people/democrooks!
014th district has 20 something that are suckasses that can go back on the street, minions secretaries, strokes everywhere...every district is the same!!!
Operation BLue scarecrow
take some out of news affairs
How many officers have retired in the past 6 months? Or the last year?
319 cops put back on the street are gonna cover all of them?
And how soon before the 319 make their phone calls and end up right back where they were?
Sounds like a north Korean council meeting. Kim tells em all they gotta starve for 2 weeks because he ate all the food and they all stand, smile and clap in joy and approval
I guess Covering tattos and wearing crown caps isn't stopping the violence as planned. Time for plan B
So yeah I have a ton of time on my hands.. Ran various units at 35th Homan etc.. They will get about 130 on the street.. Of those 130 look at the age and seniority and I'm guessing 40 or so will probly just retire.. They have more than 28 years on and I'm sure aren't hitting the street. Maybe 60 more
If you can't believe, or believe in, your mayor, who can you believe??
This job has become the absolute worst way to make a living. Trapped by age and money. Really wish I chose something else, 17 years wasted, all on the street in shitholes.
Will an intrepid reporter ferret out the truth?
Is there an intrepid reporter out there that can even count to 300, much less figure out if there are 300 more officers on the streets, or about 100 less when all the promotions and reassignments come thru?
We did Something!
Yea! Rah-Rah!
Now let's get back to our real job, looting the Chicago Treasury.
/s/ Your Local Alderman
lies, lies, lies
VOTE for Mike HAYES for Pension Trustee!!! Mike Hayes said he was planning to run at the last FOP meeting. Mike Hayes is a 1000 times more capable than Lappe whose only talent is assisting Tiny Dancer shove cops on the street who shouldn’t be on the street. Hayes will surely bring more to the pension $$ part of the trustee job than Lappe’s zero effect.
Lappe is all over this blog blowing his own horn about policing the police and accusing officers of fraud and scamming. Encouraging police to report other police to him?? What is this, 1984? He laughs and gossips about Dean Angelo’s IOD (softball injury) and then keeps voting to keep him on the dole. At the meeting I attended three times he voted against the other police pension trustees on legit disability cases whispering and kissing the ass of Tiny’s trustees. Great campaign pitch, Judas. I have never heard Lappe at any FOP meeting answer even one question about our pension investments intelligently. It’s hard to believe he has a vote when it comes to our pension.
Here are the facts: Mike Lappe hits mandatory retirement in a little more than a year and we (the pension fund) will be forced to pay for ANOTHER election unless someone runs against him now. By law, “Mr Rules and Regulations” term ends when he turns 63 which is soon. He hasn’t said a word about serving only ONE of a three year term. ILCS, Section 5-180 “…Any member elected by the active policemen who withdraws from the Police service of the city shall automatically cease to be a member of the board…” The statute is the statute Lappe. Do the right thing, stop wasting our time and money, and step aside now.
Vote for Mike Hayes for pension trustee!

Why isn't this Lappe pension trustee issue coming up here. He is sending truly injured police back to desk jobs so Tiny Dancer can then put them back on the street. But he won't touch the FOP Prez (disability king) Dean Angelo. We need someone to run against him for Patrolmen rep. He can barely serve a year before mandatory retirement. I called the Pension office, petitions can be picked up and filed still. He is all over attacking d disability officers but he doesn't know a stock from a bond. Great skill set for someone watching over our pension.

Another bad idea is Lappe running again, anyone running against him. Talk about a Tiny Dancer fan that's him and his minions

While I think Lappe is a nice person, I also think that he has done little for us at the Pension Bd.
I cannot in good conscience vote him in for another term.
Mike, you've got over 30yrs on the job now, it's time to think about retirement.
9/19/2015 10:32:00 PM
Told everyone he knows that Angelo got his knee booboo playing softball. But has no balls to haul his ass back in front of the board.

Don't forget all the fake watch assignments that never see the street.
Based on past experience with Rahm and his grandiose claims this will likely be much to do about nothing.
The total number will likely be far less than his 319...... but the lapdog media just takes it hook, line and sinker!
Any investigative reporter worth their salt would ask about all these made up spots being occupied by full duty, sworn officers.... you know like CPIC officer, Compstat officer, District Intelligence officer. To occupy those made up spots you don't need a gun and badge all you need are some soft clothes and a pocket protector.
SCC I thought you knew better! Alternate Response Section aka "Call Back" is staffed by dozens of Full Duty Officers that are not stripped. Yes, there are some full duty POW's but many others got there on "Limited" Duty status (pregnant, IOD, etc) and remained when they popped Full Duty. Ask Chief Williams how many Full Duty Officers he is hiding there.
You are very mistaken about callback, unit 376. There are officers in the unit that are restricted (stripped), light duty, and full duty. There are dozens of full duty officers there (EN, JC, PM, JB, PS, and many many more) and have been for quite some time. Many full duty officers at callback have been there for years and scared to death to return to the street so yes he will have his pick from the alternate response section.
the chicago media died in 1989.
Time to raise the minimum retirement age to 57.
I'm just glad some Callback fuckers are about to get their wakeup call.
One from my district takes a particular pride in bragging how she's never coming back to the district because she has days in Callback. She was 1st watch in the district. Total, do nothing DOGASS. She's healthy as a horse. Says the Lt there likes her, so she's golden.
Please, Oh Please, let me see her name on the sheets.
Good, they can send that goof that created the new Hot Desk screen back out on the street. the new Hot Desk screen menu is the worst way to run a name or even a plate. It was created by a PO who only worked the street for a short time then fled to the safety of 35th street. This goof should have stuck to playing Extreme Frisbee than being the police.
This story actually went national last night on FOX's 5 PM broadcast.
Can't increase what you don't have. 2 plus 2 does not equal 5. He is lying and the new 300 plus he is putting on the street don't exist. But get ready for the ass F**king he is going to give home owners today, claiming it's for the pension, Bullshit it's because Daley took to many Pension Holidays and didn't pay in what the city should have! Why is there money for maggie daley park, DePaul University, etc but not for those who Worked and earned it.
Do you think they have any idea how much violence is going to spike after the ACLU card goes into effect?
NOBODY wants to hear from some cop
There is no reporter out there who will call Rahm out on this. They are too scared of him.
I'm all for putting more po's on the street but a lot of these spot are sworn for a reason. FOIA has access to all your CR and HR history from the Supt on down. Every class you took, your grades, bs CR number, etc. It's bad enough the info just sits on a desk in an open area. That's how much the Department thinks of your private information. Add in a bunch of civilians who can quit or transfer to another department and your asking for trouble. At least now the info is reviewed by trusted staff. For fun, start sending in FOIA requests for merit lists. The Department won't give it to you as a PO but will as a FOIA requst. If you don't get a reply in 5 days you can sue. Read the law.
Smoke.
Mirrors.
Enough said.
What's amazing is that people actually believe that these so called police officers will actually make a difference . Case # 1 . Female police
Officer assigned to 22nd District transferred to City Hall 5th floor where she later is transferred to the mayors detail making sergeants pay . After Rahm is elected she is transferred off the detail to the 1st District to an inside spot later working upstairs in the Commanders office . She is currently on a lawsuit suing the Commander of the Mayors detail for removing her from her position due to race . Hasn't worked the streets in twenty plus years and she's suing ? Instead of giving that spot to a cop with a heart problem or one at the end of their career she's inside acting like a boss . But in hindsight this department causes that problem and makes these people what they are .
Do u actually believe that this person is gonna make a difference ?
"These assholes would applaud their own execution if Rahm told them that the noose was simple a new swing set"
----------
yes.
Good one.
lets see this group "Freedom of Open Information Officers, nurses, crossing-guard supervisors, watch relief/police aides, watch secretaries, alternate response call takers, detention aides and property custodians" VERSUS latin kings, vice lords, etc. Come on man.
Detention Aides!, if he is referring to the 'lockup keepers' there are two problems with that. State law and the contract. But he knows better then Me, I only had 30 years on the job so what do I know about the department? I'm glad that the Deputies have a Commander[XO] , Lt , Sgt and PO's working for them! With all that staff what do they do? What might help is give every district a Deputy so his 'back to the street order' is adhered to.
If you look at this proposal, they are also doing away with light duty. So if you are injured in the line of duty and come back, your screwed. Of course, this does put more pressure on the pension fund.
ssc in 2 years im out of here Chicago is like the titanic im moving out state
its been tried by every Mayor since Richard, the first. it doesn't work in practicality. I remember desk aides being relegated to just answering the phone because their reports blew criminal cases out of the water by savvy defense lawyers.
in practice it takes 2 civilians to do one admin job
Do away with street deputies and their sissy little drivers. Let the district commanders run police involved shootings when someone is hit otherwise let the detectives handle if it is just a weapons discharge incident.
Fat Phil wanted every one there just do they can say that they were there and shuck and jive and say that they were on camera. What a waist of time and money.
This cock sucker just thinks everybody is stupid!
I call bullshit. This reminds me of the (perennial) letter that former Ald. Ginger Rugai used to put out each Fall. During the annual "post Halloween/pre-Christmas Armed Robbery season" in 022, she would send out a letter to her constituents about how she was bringing in all of these outside police resources to quell the uptick in crime and how she recently met with Superintendent (fill in the blank) about it. It was a really believable Aldermanic letter, if you weren't the police. There weren't any new bodies coming to the District, but it sure made all of the 19th Ward Sheeple feel a lot more secure.
OT:
Speaking of gullible fools...
The 14yo "inventor", "genius" is just a fraud looking for attention. Of course the libtards jumped on this as if it's fact, kind of like the "hands up don't shoot" BS. Turns out this kid took a radio shack clock out of this case and... well that's pretty much it. Here are instructions on how you can do the same (20sec video)

Does he still get to got to the whitehouse?, Facsebook, MIT?
What a joke.
You think morale is low? The 319 reassigned officers will have to up their data plans or purchase a wireless card to get the Facebooks, Twitters, E-Bays, Instagrams and Targets done during business hours. No more exclusive 35th Street gym- so no more daily Pilates gyrating during lunches.
A spokesperson for the 18 deputy chiefs tweeted out “ The loss of the fetch my slippers type personnel has a silver lining in that the department will recoup saving through the reduction in crates of paperclips, oceans of bottled water, cases of white-out, boxes of #2 pencils and truckloads of erasers. This staff reduction and associated useless paper reporting is worth it ‘If We Could Just Save One Forest’.”
The “Gang of 319” organized a grass roots coalition filing a grievance against the city citing unfair labor practices, a hostile work environment, violation of contract and unsafe working conditions upon reassignment to police duties. The “Gang of 319” filed suit today accusing Super McCarthy of a public relations sham on behalf of the mayor. The filing also alleges an unjustified reassignment of sworn personnel and for failing to provide months of “refresher” police training prior to field duties for those who served with honor and distinction in a clerical capacity. The “Gang of 319” also cited that police work is not currently in their job descriptions. The suit identifies those aggrieved as “model” employees citing several complimentary letters in their personnel files and numerous perfect attendance awards.
in the 70's desk sgt would handle crossing guards assignment and only worked a 5-6 hour day
crossing guard supervisor was a political job
They will be working Beat 2605
It's time to rise up people and take back our city. They have closed our neighborhood schools and police stations. They funnel funds to their pet projects and parks. Less constituents should mean less alderman.
dumb o'neal was hired back as a reward for hatching a scheme with lemon ade......and fyi, dumb is still kicking back some of his $$

This job has become the absolute worst way to make a living. Trapped by age and money. Really wish I chose something else, 17 years wasted, all on the street in shitholes.
9/22/2015 01:43:00 AM
Come on, this is not the absolute worse way to make a living. How many paychecks have you missed in those last 17 yeara? Have you been laid off at all during that time? I understand your frustration but please cut the bull shit. After 17 years, you should have figured out how to fill out a par form and bid to another district that isnt such a shithole.
Was the 4th Floor Court Section sergeant at 26th and California overheard complaining to her alderman about possibly being sent back to the street? You bet she was. She told him that she can't be on time in the morning because she has to drop her kids off at school, and she has to leave early to pick those same kids up after school, and she can't do that in a district. She wants him to call her double-dipping deputy chief to ensure that she stays in the place where she makes her own hours. She says that her lieutenant unit CO is afraid of her because she has the deputy chief "in her pocket." PLEASE PLEASE send her back to 009!
To whoever the moron is on here complaining that injured officers are being forced back to work a desk job it's about time. Their days of siphoning from the pension fund with bogus injuries are over. And to the ones with legit injuries if you ha e to work the desk so be it. Now I'm nOt saying put them back on the street but if you are able to drive you should be able to earn your paycheck working a desk somewhere.

I doubt that you have ever been involved in any way in a POLICE INVOLVED SHOOTING.
I have been involved in the investigations of a few of them. When an officer's future, his livelihood and freedom are on the line you want the best possible handling the investigation. There have been many great Street Deputies, and a few lousy ones. Most of the over-merit-promoted District Commander hacks you would want anywhere near a sensitive investigation.

I agree with Capt Aguinaga (aka Da General) on this matter. Daley stole like there was no tomorrow and , the FOP was wrong for giving him numerous pension holidays. I no longer shop anywhere in the city or CROOK county for anything. I am able to shop in Indiana for groceries, household goods, dog food and of course Fuel. The more tiny dancer raise taxes and creates new fees, the more I look at how I can counter his actions. I sold several cars and registered them to family members who live out of state. No more new cars for me while I live here either. Take a look at your grocery, menards, walmart and gas receipts and see how much taxes Illinois Crooks/Politicians are stealing every time you buy something. I have only a few years left and will be leaving the city of rahm and state of Madigan ASAP.
Hey Rich, after you left 011 Lt JA (aka Jam You Up Johnnie) F$%^ed up the watch the very next day. He was pissed cause no one would talk to him in his office or off duty. Only a handful or Fools would meet him at simpsons after work. When JA retired we never heard of any type of retirement gathering for him. You were sorely missed when you left 011.

And now, if tiny dancer doesn't get his tax hike, he will lay off cops. Yep, THAT will alleviate the violence problem!
Here is a solution, how about removing all Gangs, thug life scums of the streets. Isn't this the bigger problem, or is this not politically correct. Also, CC should just remove 3/4 of there judges since they fail at a high percentage rate to keep offenders of the streets, making our justice system a joke. Juvenile court first please, can someone let those judges know that Chiraq is not short for Disney World, they must live in a fantasy land where all children that end up in Juvy are just misunderstood kids. THEY ARE CRIMINALS DAM IT!!!!!
On the other hand GOOD, most of these weasels hiding somewhere are dogs and have all dodged work....If they are not gonna do nothing then let them sit on a corner in a beat car for 8 hours just for visibility then and just answer paper jobs....
You could chain a copper to every mutt in this city but if you don't let him do his job what good is it going to do?
Hey if a 14 year old kid can take the guts out of a manufactured digital clock and put it in a pencil box saying he built it. Then get an invite to the White House, to intern at Facebook, Twitter and an invite to attend MIT as a result and raise thousands of dollars in sympathy playing the minority Muslim card what do y'all expect?

Nice try to keep your Spot! Even when you ask for the merit lists, the FOI section will not respond. I've tried. The FOI section is a waste of manpower. Get those dollies back the street.
I can think of 50+ 1 who should try a 8 hour tour.... In the hood! These people remind me of the orchestra playing while the titanic sank
I have been around the department for many years startingin late 60's. I am now retired but I don't think things have changed any., The standards for hiring and promotion for both sworn and civilian are low and it is pretty hard to discipline or fire anyone for incompetence. As a matter of fact, I do not recall one single case of a sworn member or a civilian member ever fired for incompetence and I spent a few years in IAD. If they had decent hiring standards and held the civilians to them then you could put them in sensitive positions. But the political class has always controlled the civilians hires, and no one can do much with them, no matter what they do.
So the FOP should be asking for a list of people being detailed to the street? Just to make sure seniority rights ETC are not violated.
I'm guessing most of the desk dollies will being putting in slips for weekends to avoid the danger of the streets.
Doesnt the city have to offer theses details City wide first just in case somebody wanted it?

Time to raise the minimum retirement age to 57.
It is in the works, the Mayor will ask for 55 but is prepared to settle for a minimum age of 53. His guys are all aware of it and have been heard to speak of it.
Station security is a good one too. Reserved for clouted reverends in place of call back
Rahm said today that he will have to lay off cops and firemen if he doesn't get his tax hike, does anyone else lose anything or just those who work. Here's a idea, stop spending money that we don't have.
Call back is a joke. People on the watch assigned there for some reasons but not brought back after that reason is fulfilled. We have a pregnant po that gave birth last October still at call back .
"Gullible Fools."
It's like an action movie of the alt-reality take-over train robbery/
"There's a big, nasty bomb on this m/fer too" genre...
The only thing missing from the real life absurdist theater of failure
(complete with a side trip to the Bordello of Fuckery) is the cliff-hanger
final half hour in which sturdy, upright gunmen in sharp suits, natty
sky-pieces and wielding big bore pistols, revolvers and shotguns;
are sledgehammering and wrecking bar-ing the locked from inside
steel doors to get into the cab and make things right.
Only the audience is cheering the bad guys because the good guys
are being too forceful, too heavy-handed and not taking time to retreat
and de-escalate the situation.
"Let's ROLL!"
"EEK! Too manly and assertive!
That's why the world doesn't like us
and we need to apologize for that!"
But anyways...
As a Son of the City, we have been watching a strange narration
being slid in place by the immediate past and current regime of artful political
and media crafters and agenda setters.
Over the last four years, they've dropped any and all pretense of congeniality
and civility while totally cranking the wheel of the hand brake to it's farthest
counter-clockwise stop, thus turning the slide into a free wheeling run-away...
These Rotten Motherfuckers are on a tight schedule to make "shit" happen
so brace for the collision.
Have any of you "Silent Majority" who "have your (We, The Police) backs,"
been able to use the instinctual sense of "imminent danger" (that everyone
likes to blame/shame/shit-talk Policemen for having an over-abundance of
since "statistics" show that crime is trending downward toward the negative
and Policing is "safer than it's ever been?") to see through the latest city hall
orchestrated hand-wringing, eye-wetting and frantic ass covering playing out
in the local media?
How everybody is being made to take a large, dry $500 Million property tax
suppository because "the greedy cops and firemen don't want to take cuts and
give-backs like everybody else?"
We've said before and we'll say it again and again...
Our pay, pension and other EARNED benefits amount to the merest and meanest
little handful of PENNIES to the DOLLARS that The Stuttering Clown Prince of Thieves
(Richard M. Daley of "Daley Inc.") and The North Shore Shit-Ass (Rahm I. Emanuel
of "Rahm & Co.") have stolen/are stealing.
Doesn't anyone beside Policemen/Firemen grasp the massive logical failure of being
begrudged and reviled for seeking to be made whole on those monies intentionally
diverted from our pensions? Especially when such diversion is obscured by the shadow
cast by the massive, multiple BILLION DOLLAR LOOTING of the tax payer treasury by
successive mayoral administrations with the aid of a criminally complicit city council?
Political cover gladly granted by the reeking, toothless, decaying alive,
leaking from every orifice, anal-whore media that has ill served this city
with their energetic looking-the-other-way of the last quarter century.
...We want to live long enough to see every dirty motherfuck even peripherally
involved in the financial destruction of this city and the cover-up,
running on air at the end of a rope when the course of correction is charted.
The whole of Illinois north of I-70 would be turned into desert to hew timber
to build a scaffold large enough to accommodate the largest group dangle
in the some 10,000 year existence of permanent, hierarchal human settlement.
History would nod knowingly and smile.
001 and 018 only have so many hide me spots.
So they are going to hire more DAs then cause they already "kicked" the officers out of the lock ups but there aren't enough DAs to cover shifts during vacations, rdos, and injuries.....
Rahm also says privatize 311. Now what are you going to do with all the POWs? Does that mean no more burying guys down there forever despite their beefs being over or they beat criminal allegations. What about the guys that are legitimately put in time out for a period of investigation?
Where are they going to bury the guys they don't like? Ever see Armed and Dangerous with John Candy and Eugene Levy? Will there be a guard shack at Bubbly Creek?
Let the blind citizens of shitcago know the real truth about where there money goes. Let them know that it goes to the rich constitutes who conduct shady business deals under closed doors. That the political/police top heavy administrators place ill prepare leaders to lead this city. To many deputy's and deputy chiefs leading few men. there seems to be more chiefs then Indians in this administration
Now cut Aldermen by 1/3rd. Far more important to have Cops than Alderthieves
Put half of tact back on watch and just paint the tact cars blue and white......police force will appear beefed up!
I have only three years on the job and even I can't fucking wait to leave this shit hole corrupt city and job.
Unlike Lappe I was actually in callback and will speak from the heart here. About 1/3 are dogass do nothings who are scared of the street or have just enough juice to keep them off the street doing...well...nothing.
About 1/3 are jammed up with beefs some, maybe more then some, are innocent of whatever the fuck the Dept. is railroading them of. Some are not. Some are scum. Some just screwed up some like normal people do. These ones invariably dont have enough juice to get a bench spot somewhere else. All are innocent until proven guilty because if they can say that about these lifelong mutts out there then they can say that about us.
1/3 are truly physically fucked. Bad backs, bad hearts, shot up, beat up, fucked in car accidents...Lappe would be one if they didnt pin an award on him for getting shot. If President Hussein says a bunch of Syrians deserve compasssion dont some of our own deserve the same? So fucking think before you bad mouth "all" of call back.
We had one guy down there for a few years, a Peurto Rican guy, who was framed by his partner and a store owner as an armed robber. Behind his back coppers, being jagoffs that we are, would whisper about how he was fucked and OTW to the 12" hard one he had coming. Because of course we are all guilty until proven guilty, even to ourselves.
But he was innocent. Completely, as in totally, innocent. It all eventually came out after these inept IAD pricks eventually found someone who could read and write and cleared him. I later worked with him and made some fine pinches with him. I cant even remember his name but he was one of the finest human beings I ever met on this job. Somehow he came back to the street without being bitter. Im still bitter after being fucked and always will be but he wasnt. I wish him well wherever he his.
So if you going to badmouth callback for all our troubles put some teeth back into your mouth and think. The political machine has always been the root of this city's problems. So dont dump it all on the guys recovering from heart attacks, or who dont have enough clout to beat a beef, at call back.
Jesus, dont be so fucking simple.

Well, aren't you magnanimous when it comes to taxpayer dollars. Based on the per capita rate of other major cities, Chicago should have no more than SEVENTEEN (17) wards represented by a city council member.
And how many of these 319 are going to retire upon being told they are hitting the street?
Do away with HQ security with multiple srgts and po's how many people u need to watch the parking lot full of po's anyways...most of the time during day no one is there anyways!!!
Had Rahm asked for a tax increase five years ago, let's say one hundred million, the problem would have been solved by now.
Check HQ dozens are just freaking out about hitting the streets!!! Good stop hiding and get out there!
Those Aldermen are knuckleheads
does that noose and execution come with a tax... cause eventually it will equal a pension... fuck that
Damn, now that I think about it, when I was in the academy, a PPO bounced after lunch, said fuck this job.... that guy was a genius now that I think about it

You got to be kidding.
How can you "privatize" inaction based upon "How many chiluns you got?" as the opening gambit?
Rahm will find a way.
Grab a trash bag and scoop the dead cat, the DB, etc. yourself -- it's quicker and more efficient. Your higher taxes and "fees" will continue to apply, however.

Don't let yourself be the guy that let's this circus town of crooks gets the best of him and loses it and ends up on the news for bullshit. 3 years? Long road ahead and I think it's only gonna get worse. Find your relief and use it often and try not to take the bullshit home with you. There are many good people in every part of this city that do deserve our help, some areas they're few and far between. Just have a plan b, you only live one time, once.

There haven't been street deputies for years sweet chuck
You must be one of the people hiding inside. They have several - they just changed the name to OCIC - they do show up at police shootings with hits (or any other discharge they feel like going to) - the no hits or shot dogs (4-legged) are usually handled by Capt/ or CMdr.
Less then 5 years on and I'll be making the move out of this city soon. Time to abandon this sinking ship.

Don't worry with all the bullshit mission numbers and everything else going on with the contact cards, I have a sneaking suspicion that a bunch of us will be back on the watch soon, by choice. The Commanders are going to have a hard time filling these spots come next year. They have spoken loud and clear they do not want pro active Police work, they want safe passage workers 24/7.

Grow up goof. They should make you sit there and deal with the mountain of data entry and bullshit that needs to be done every fuckin' night. You couldn't get me to work inside on the desk, lock-up, or as "watch secretary" for all the tea in China.
Most if not all of these people are restricted duty personnel. They will now be replaced by non-union, lower paid civilian personnel. They may be ordered to street duty but in reality they will be pushed onto the pension fund as the City will now state there is no place for them due to the restricted duty status. This translates into more pensioners and less pension contributors while the City lessens its payroll.

Many of them think they're TMAs, anyway, stopping traffic for adult joggers and directing cars off side-streets when no children are in sight.
Change their uniform so they look less like police, while you're at it.

Locate, drill and Greenlee-punch your own holes for tube sockets in the metal chassis you bent up. Didn't have the expensive punch, lay the hole out and then start filing.
This is how you learned to keep one hand in your pocket, stand on a rubber mat, make and use a "shorting stick" to discharge the filter capacitor on that power supply just in case the bleeder resistor had opened (?) etc.

And what did the G do they indicted him in a federal grand jury to be off the hook when the truth finally came out.
So you think CPD would say sorry here's your job back and pay !
No f-in way they offered him a deal no back pay and dept is off the hook for IADs bullshit!
I'm here to tell all you new guys and gals it could happen to you, so don't walk around with I'm a bad ass attitude !

I agree disability PO's have been sent to callback to work and they've been working through their ailments. Although you can't physically see what's wrong it doesn't mean they are not in pain. But then you have the fakers who refuse to return to their districts using any excuse they can makes no sense. Then you have your full duty who were told, "You'll only be returned if you submit a to-from asking to go back to your district". There are PO's who work out eveyday but to sick to work the street. Midnights has the umber cab driver but can not work the beat car. Would see it parked in the parking lot and no one bothered to say anything free rides I suppose. PO's who have been limited for years and had to go full duty will make the statement the first day I hit the street I'll make sure I hurt myself and be back here again... WTF!!!! every watch has them just depends whose running their mouth about not going back out.

I doubt that you have ever been involved in any way in a POLICE INVOLVED SHOOTING.
I have been involved in the investigations of a few of them. When an officer's future, his livelihood and freedom are on the line you want the best possible handling the investigation. There have been many great Street Deputies, and a few lousy ones. Most of the over-merit-promoted District Commander hacks you would want anywhere near a sensitive investigation.
9/22/2015 01:05:00 PM
I agree 100% with the second poster. When I saw ADS Pat McNulty pull up to my shooting in the early 2000's I knew he had my back. There isn't really any substitute for an experienced street deputy who can take charge of a scene and show the officer(s) involved he really is protecting them from the inevitable civil litigation and other stuff that accompanies a shooting. I was just lucky it was McNulty. They don't make street deputies like that anymore. And BTW, for the guy that responded to an earlier post that there aren't street deputies anymore ... yeah; there are... Dana Alexander is still one and I believe Carlos Velez who JUST retired was one. There may be one more as well.

Like a previous poster stated, I also didn't think we have a designated person who is always the Street Deputy. (although I could be wrong since I have no clue what these ranks are anymore.) .
What I do know is that the Street Deputy used to be be a pretty important job, especially on PO involved stuff. McNulty(sp?)was one of the best. Of course nobody cares about the PO's welfare anymore except for Dicks, some Sgts and even fewer above that rank.
Another thing is that I, and probably several other coppers, have no idea who most of our current superstar bosses are. I knew or at least heard of, the majority of our command staff with only 5yrs on.
Who are these people and where the hell did they work?
I'm a retired Sgt. and I can't wait to come back as a civilian employee just to jag over a few people who have talked untrue crap about me, the great thing about my return is that I will be returning to my old unit with as much authority as I had as a sworn Sgt. And boy is Payback a Bitch. I already was told I'm in. Thank you God
Damn, now that I think about it, when I was in the academy, a PPO bounced after lunch, said fuck this job.... that guy was a genius now that I think about it
You're 100% correct. I was just thinking about my first day at the academy. After the first session they gave us a break and I walked out to the parking lot and I started thinking, "what am i doing here? I should leave now." But I needed a job and they were hiring so I stayed. I felt like a fish out of water. 16 years later and I have that same feeling. People keep on talking about the 20 and out like its really gonna work like that. No way. 20 and out and you'll still need to find another job, maybe two to pay the bills.
This job isn't everything. Its over. No decent human being should apply for this job. Its over. Its hit rock bottom. I say to anybody thinking about becoming a cop to think hard about it and learn more about it before you end up in a miserable situation and are stuck in the worst job to be had in this whole country.

You got another blank check for the one at juvie?
Captain Richie-the General was a man among men in all his actions. When I ran into him on the streets, he always was one great Mexican Warrior. I am retired after 33 years and the years I and days I ran into the Warrior was always a laugh. Richie did noy play the bull shot game, he took care of all the people in anywhere he worked up the ranks. The tramp with Greek name that beat the case for stalking the civilias and Rich was the acting cmdr, hated Rich. She was a dog, wonder if she ever left ?
Miss the good people like Rich and so many more when I rode the old W/S, walking into 011 and A/$ was always an adventure in La La land. Copper' ruled that district, called a 10-1 a few times playing Chicago ave, 10 cars showed up in a heart beat plus the great A/4 dicks.
I know Rich wishes he could get back to the game like the old days,...but we know we are shot from decades of playing hard at work. We loved CPD and each other. You young guys are always in so many of us retired guys, prayers. You are still the hero' of the street and in the nation. Fuck the bosses that belittle you, they will be shit till their last day otj.
Hey did that crazy Sgt, AZ pull the pin yet. I loved watching him at times in my travels through 011.
Hey Richie, may you live to be 120 brother.

Like a previous poster stated, I also didn't think we have a designated person who is always the Street Deputy. (although I could be wrong since I have no clue what these ranks are anymore.) .
Up until recently there were 3 of them I believe. Velez, Alexander and Ruiz. All former Commanders or above who act like our old Street Deputies did. Police involved shooting with hits - they are to respond - and are in overall command - they are also responsible for writing the narrative / and approving the TRR. They can respond to any weapon discharge incident (gun) - but any discharge of gun with no hits or major property damage can be handled by a Capt or Commander. And they approve the TRR. No one below Capt rank can lead the investigation in weapons discharges (although Lt's or W/c may still be responsible for other things / crime scene etc).
Also. Any discharge of weapon - even to shoot a dog - must submit to breath/alcohol testing. From what I have seen - velez and Ruiz are top notch - dealt with them on a few shootings - they had good sense of how to handle situation. There's a list of them on Dept. organization on clear. I think velez just retired. Not sure who's replacement. ? Hope that helps
Ps. Who ever original poster was - they were trying to be a know it all with stupid comment.
The last time they moved a lot of people out of inside spots to get "more boots on the street" all they did was push a bunch of old PO's into retirement. They got people to leave early. Well, earlier than they had planned. Very damn few crime fighters were discovered and sent out there to arrest people in Englewood. As always. Having idiot civilians making police management decisions worked about as it always worked. Poorly or not at all.
I am retired now. I couldn't even wait until 63. I turned 62 and said fuck that shit, adios. I missed one anniversary. Some people I worked with left with 52.5% or 55% and didn't look back. So many just wanted out. Size of pension no longer mattered, just going mattered. Nothing else.
We used to love this job and took great pride in pinning that star on each day.
No more. No pride.
That is what Rahm Emanuel and Gary McCarthy have done. They can shove the fucking job.

I appreciate good intentions, but that drives me nuts when bicycling. Going to walk it through the crosswalk on the green, and TMAs, guards, etc. suddenly windmilling arms and issuing directions. "I'M WATCHING FOR THE CARS!" sez I. I have actually avoided crossings, gone half-a-block away, so I can get across safely without the distraction. Someone once did a study that showed that loose dogs do this, cross in mid-block, instinctively know it's safer without the turning cars.
...and boy, that construction flagman who jumped in front of me while I was doing about 3 MPH and looking 360 deg., watching for everything and navigating safely out of a tight spot for a second...
"Safety" can be dangerous! >grin<
