Who's This Jagoff?
A headcase without a question....oh, and he's ex-CPD:
- Former Chicago police Officer Joseph Battaglia, of southwest suburban Oak Lawn, was charged Sunday with two counts of disorderly conduct after threats were made to harm two key officials investigating the death of Fox Lake police Lt. Charles Joseph Gliniewicz, officials said.
The 54-year-old Battaglia, who is being held in the Lake County Jail after being assigned a $100,000 bond, is accused of calling Lake County Coroner Thomas Rudd's office Friday and threatening Rudd and George Filenko, who heads the Lake County Major Crime Task Force, officials said.
Battaglia described himself as a retired police officer. He was denied a public defender because of his police pension, the judge said.
Battaglia allegedly threatened to harm Rudd and Filenko unless they declare Gliniewicz's death a suicide.
If we aren't mistaken, this is the troll who was spamming the crap out of our comment sections last week with all sorts of bizarre accusations based on nothing but unsubstantiated rumors that started up regarding the death of Lt. Gliniewicz. Everything we caught, we deleted. And while we certainly hope that speculation is exactly that, the investigation should continue to go forward and reach a conclusion based on facts and evidence, not the ramblings of the coroner and certainly not over this moron's ramblings.

That boy needs help bad. Mental aint the word bat shit crazy. I will miss him at the FOP meetings he scares Dean all the time.
Somebody should reach out may be that cool Rabbi.
Could he have dementia? Sounds like he needs a psych eval.
If this goof is off on disability his pension is gone if/when he gets convicted on these felony charges. This dude apparently had way too much free time on his hands.
Maybe his guy Fast Eddie can find him a good attorney. I've met a lot of arrogant loud-mouthed coppers on this job, but this POS takes the cake.
Might be another Battaglia. ....
But wasn't he the 23rd ward Republican Committee man?
Did he used to work in 15?
I cringe every time I hear a news story start out with "Former Chicago Police Officer"......
Jagoff that got caught being weed from internal. Got into it with him over the same bs in the tribune comments last week. Think he hates cops that haven't got caught buying weed. Big loser bar hero.
I know him. He almost got into a fight at a condo meeting. The Oak Lawn cops had to be called in.
Is this the idiot sgt that used to work in 008?
This man advertises that he works for Verdolyak, and proud of it. At Fop meetings, he tells everyone he can that he should be the political guy for our union. Shields and Dean fear this man at meetings because he is an idiot who talks before he thinks.
Troll about covers it.

That's not what happened. Some young hot chick got pinched by narcotics and said she knew a cop who sells weed. Of course Joey was thinking with his dick and told this chick he could get her weed. He never sold weed or bought weed from anyone. Joey is a goof and his mouth gets him in trouble, but he's harmless. I'm sure some meds wouldn't hurt though.
I hate to say this but the guy is probably right. The 18 mile procession for "GI Joe" might be for not. Sometimes crazy people make sense.
Can his deleted comments be used in court against him, even if it was anonymous??
I worked midnights with the lad, about 20 years ago. Strangest copper I've ever worked with. A true wing nut, everything was a conspiracy, they were after him. Don't think he ever wrote a ticket or made an arrest. Always stepping on his dick and a family connection always bailing his ass out. He should have never got out of the academy.
Oh my! Bags, you're just as entertaining in retirement as you were on the job. Next, try to get yourself on a "No Fly" list.
He always makes Dean pee pee in his pants at FOP meetings!
As indicated by SCC, it's apparent he regularly reviews this site.
Joe, get help. Your actions are more than being just a loudmouth.
You insulted all of law enforcement and embarrassed our department aside from providing more fodder for the left wing media.
Plea, take your punishment, shut up and seek help.
Then make a sincere formal public apology to all involved including the family, friends and all of law enforcement.
While you can never make this right, at this time, that is the right thing to do.
Maybe someone should have told him that you cannot shield the telephone number you are calling from if law enforcement really wants it. The only way is to....well you know.
Should have waited for his weed card. Many doctors will get you one.
Yes, he got dumped into 015 in the early 90's. He was a 87-4 guy.
He had some problem regarding a bag of weed.
He was always a jagoff shooting his mouth off.
Let me get this right. Im sitting here ar the fop meeting and these by-law changes came up. Dean, you are truely an asshole. All these changes you promised on your campaign and you with your Retired mouthpieces are now against these changes? Fail.
OT - Mc Henry Co Deputy who was wounded last year at a domestic passed away yesterday. RIP DEPUTY DWIGHT MANESS
This guy was a phenomenal idiot. Trust me, those prior words do not do any justice. I just could not believe a person could be this dumb, this stupid and this reckless.
He brags that his father was "connected". And that there wasn't a boss around that could make him do anything Boasts that he was lazy. Weird goofy POS
God bless Chicago politics
He keeps on the stupidest guy I ever met! The problem he is a retired CPD copper another black eye for us! How can anyone be so insane? Whatever the truth is will be revealed this is an intense heater case, we lost a brother in blue that is for sure may he RIP!
And now for the other type of police officers, I had surgery yesterday and my nurse was a former PO. You have the nitwits that embarrass us all and then you have the dear blessed angels who do the best they can on a daily basis without looking for credit and save lives every day. Dear sweet nurse, thanks for making a rough day as easy and comfortable as possible for me. Bless you, your husband has a keeper.
Joey Battagia=big fucking goof. Never was the police.
Did FOP make arrangements for him to attend the general membership meeting via Skype? Don't want to have such a valuable resource miss out.
Too much High School not enough college.
He's famous, he made the I Team tonight! I want an autograph when he gets out!

I have no idea what you are trying to say, this is the epitome of writing comments at that hour of the night/morning.
Hiccup
What a stroke.Is this guy soft.Glad he is not on the job anymore.What a goof.
He was buying weed on the job AND he still has his pension? Ah yes, that wonderful, manna from Heaven pension.
NO Joe is a Bridgeport guy, he has some strange ideas and I can't recall if he retired before they were going to fire him or if he is on a disability pension.
I went to grammar school on the SW sided of Chicago with a Joe Battaglia. He was truly a nice easy going guy. I wonder what happened? Definitely a Dr. Jeckel Mr. Hyde transformation.
Once a goof always a goof
The only way to shut Joey up is to handcuff him.
He was in 018 for a few years, a knuckle head indeed. He is another one of those characters who has delusions of having an office where you can come visit him for socializing or if you need some help, you know like the way the crew does it or how "Don Corlione" in The God Father did it.
Is he still security at Polekats? Lol.
Started some shit with a Lt in 15 everybody loved in mid 90s. I think the Lt told him he would break his fucking legs if he had a chance.
If he was not "A FORMER CHICAGO POLICE OFFICER"...
...then he would have just been locked up in the psych ward and this would have been the end of the story.
Joe never lived in Bridgeport although he fashioned himself an associate of the crew down there. I have known him since he came on the job. His father was a CPA, never in a crew, and a very nice, quiet man and his mother was very sweet. He and his partner were on that same team in 015 that were arrested for corruption but he and his partner were incorruptible. When his father passed away I noticed his behavior gradually changing. Yes he has always been a loud mouth but after seeing this last incident he is obviously sick. This job takes its toll on all of us in varying degrees and it appears he may be suffering a breakdown. I get it, I am pissed at him also. But we have enough jag offs from all corners taking their shots (sometimes literally) at us. Let's not use both feet on him.

No change in bond for ex-cop charged with threats in Fox Lake shooting case
http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/lake-county-news-sun/crime/ct-lns-fox-lake-police-shooting-battaglia-st-0916-20150915-story.html
Bags, we were wondering if you retired. We miss you!
Signed,
The Crew Down at Call Back
Battaglia is NOT from Bridgeport..Period
I have known Joe since he was a rookie. You
could get ten coppers who know and all
would tell the judge the same thing. He is
harmless and can't help himself. He could
not handle the stresses of the job. Joe is
not a bad person, just should not have been
hired, but don't blame him for taking the job.
After the investigation is concluded , Lake
County won't be real anxious to prosecute him.
He will plea to a misdemeanor and go about
his business of being crazy. Good luck Joe.
He is mad at the world because Joey can't grow any hair! What a goof, 018th district have some real characters!
Guess he thinks he's Det. "Munch" with those theories.
Even if they're all true, keep your fat head out of it and let the case get worked.
There were a few times I posted serious items here on the blog and got flaming responses.
I'd be willing to bet that many times it was Joe.
He could be little Joey g twin the bad lt from 19, he was a goof soft as a grape looks just him,his poor family, no honor, no balls and no hair.
he sounds very obviously mentally unwell. If you don't believe the stresses of this job can do that to you, you are wrong. Say a prayer for him.
Old 2nd watch Lt in 019 at Bel/West was comical. He literally had no morals not ethics. The exact opposite of what you'd expect a Lt to be. He had a chunky little guy named Juan that did his bidding in exchange for management 2nd watch.
It's good world where the bald fucker helps out the fat fucker.
