Preib Tearing it up Again

The Crooked City blog once again, covers the story the media won't (or can't) cover - how reporters have become the story rather than reporting the story and how members of the media have helped release a number of psychopathic killers onto the streets of Chicago.

We can't even quote the article in order to do it justice, so you'll have to click on the link here and go read it at the source. It is truly a tangled web and spans so many different aspects of the broken system here in Cook County.

"Evans was chasing Williams because Evans saw Williams, a gang member, carrying a gun in one of the most violent neighborhoods in the city. Some people would be grateful for a police commander willing to go out and take on the gang members in such a manner."

-- or --

"If you want the sausage factory to keep producing sausage, quit intimately filming, pointing at, screaming about every aspect of its operations."

That way, maybe you -- you, personally -- get from your front door to your car without...

WTF you think police work is? Diffident, polite conversation always?

You know perfectly well what it is -- and you wouldn't have it any other way when it comes down to the real hardheads who will do you so that your own mama can't be sure who that is in that hospital bed...

Beep. Beep. Beep.

Preib's writings should be mandatory reading for every PPO. The media and their co conspirators have done such a consistent and soulless job of spreading lies for profit, many young officers really believe that John Burge had a "midnight crew" of detectives that tortured confessions out of young black men. Preib is the only writer smart enough and brave enough to connect the pieces and get to the truth: There is a group of scumbag lawyers, politicians and tabloid writers (who have fooled many to accept them as "journalists") who have gotten rich ruining the careers of great officers by joining forces and lying. A gullible public, incompetent FOP and uninformed Department has allowed it to get to this point...and this crew of murderer-freeing assholes is always looking for their next victim. Every CPD member should read Preib and get angry, because justice is being perverted still to this day. And they're always looking for their next victim.

Good luck Glen. If we had more coppers and bosses like you we would have a lot fewer problems in this city. I believe what Preib is saying, and have heard that the States Attorney's office has big problems with this case.

The basic and founding premise of CAPS are open communication with community members using regular beat meetings. Without meetings, how can police form a partnership with community residents? The CAPS sgt is running scared and cannot handle the truth. I think this is a mistake and will mobilize the residents to fight harder for the truth. Watching the alderman running out from a meeting is very embarrassing for him. This will come back to haunt him.

The only "gripe" I have about Prieb is that the guy needs an editor to tighten his writing up but overall, he's a solid writer. I wish he'd write more.

I want to thank PO Prieb again for another informative article about what working PO face when doing their job. Preib has written numerous articles about what is wrong with the Wrongful Convictions Movement here in Chicago. As one of the Detectives Prieb writes about in his book Crooked City I know first hand how this movement can effect both your personal and professional life. I thank Prieb and Bill Crawford for allowing me and my partner, Dennis Gray for exposing this travesty. I am not going to rehash the Porter case because anyone who read the book Crooked City knows what we went through. Here is what I don't understand, WHY ISN'T PRIEB on staff with the FOP where he could spent his working days researching what's wrong with the Wrongful Convictions Movement. The FOP recently started a new magazine with many good feeling stories and pictures of POLICE Officers. I have a suggestion for the FOP, have Prieb on staff and let him write articles THAT EFFECTS All POLICE Officers. This way anyone who obtains the magazine can read Priebs articles. With all the negative news about The Police, we the Police can give more information distributed regarding our side to not only our members but the public who gets this magazine.

Fantastic reading! The bigger question why doesn't Preib take over FOP presidency? what would it take to "dump disability dean" immediately? Marty has phenomenal ca-hones, great reading great writing!

Another point to all you so called "hard-chargers" after looking at what happened to a member of the "gold star extra pension club" a man who was pointed out by mcyoudidhimwrong, as an example of a man who was driving down crime in the thug crime infested ghetto of the 011th district, they then washed their hands of Evans (Who by the way was also a hands on street copper. Evans was thrown to the media circus and the investigators as a fresh piece of meat to be devoured, but whats that Evans is a "Man" in every sense of the word and did not lay down and take this lie! From throwing out a so called alderman from his office to this (whoa there was Evans set-up?), not saying Evans was perfect but he achieved better than many other gold star club members! Come on jump in the waters fine, why is that shark so close to shore, you chomped at Glen but now Glen is not taking it!

Point is what happens if your a non-clouted Blue shirt, if they do this to a gold star man that was honored before the incident that says what about you?Get the hint!

For obvious reasons, I choose to remain anonymous. I had a reputation of being a "clout baby" during my entire CPD career until I retired with a 6-figure lifetime pension. I am a strong advocate of "the Chicago Way".

Obviously, Officer Martin Preib, SCC and a few other active and retired CPD officers have gifted IQs that would easily qualify them for Mensa, the genius IQ organization.

We must perpetuate "the Chicago Way" at all costs.

I suggest that the City of Chicago check the legal holdings in (Robert) "Jordan v. City of New London" (Connecticut). It upholds that municipal police departments may disqualify any applicants with an IQ of 125 or higher. "The Chicago Way" demands that the CPD not hire applicants that are "too smart" because they may be outspoken in their public criticism of the CPD's time-honored values of mediocrity, clout, nepotism, cronyism and the dispensing of "sexual favors".

CLOUT RULES!

Tear it up and throw it in the garbage. What a joke! Here's how it works in Crook County: If Evans takes a bench trial, he will be acquitted. If it is a jury, say bye bye. Take that to the bank, suckers!

This ain't federal court where things are on the up and up. Bet on the bench trial.

You are a prime example of why the gold braid bill should have never been passed. It's nothing more than legalized bribery for political hacks.

Truth always comes out and the scabs will be removed soon after. Seems like this is a trend throughout the city. Stand tall and fight through the system. I wish Commander Evans the best of luck and hope for a quick reinstatement of his rank and pay. He is one of the very few true police leaders left in this country and the people of Chicago need him desperately. Shame on all who spoke too soon and jumped to a verdict prior to a trial in court. Hang in there Commander Evans! Your day will come.

This is for post 11/07/15 7:31: You state that Prieb's writings are,vague,barstool banter that are conspiracy assumptions. Your post tells me you are either jealous or his writings are hitting home with you. As one of the Detectives that was involved in the Anthony Porter Homicide Investigation and the subsequent aftermath EVERYTHING HE WROTE ABOUT THE CASE WAS FACTUAL. Probe has written on several other cases and the facts ARE FOR REAL. I know for a fact that he has gone out on his own time and interviewed many people who were involved in several of the cases he writes about. He has gone out of state tracking down witnesses to verify their involvement in the cases he writes about. I know, he interviewed me for hours over several day's. What Prieb has done is REAL INVESTIGATED REPORTING, something that you are ignorant of or afraid of. PRIEB'S can give some of today's feature reporters a run for their money. Oh one last observation, if Prieb writings are assumptions as you suggest then I ask you to interview Alsory Simon. You probably don't know or want to know who Simon is? I can say this;after reading your post I did roll my eye's. My question is: ARE YOU ONE OF THE PEOPLE PRIEB IS WRITING ABOUT????????

If someone could shine a flashlight into the ISP mound of corruption, you would find enough material to impanel a federal grand jury for years. RICO, conspiracy to obstruct justice, etc. You would take out the Yokley Family dynasty, along with command going back to the 1980's. Some of these jagoffs think that once they retire, all the dirty shit they did evaporates.
Uh, no. What will make it work for the feds is there are still a significant number of former and current ISP still alive, waiting to tell their tale with plenty of proof to back it up. The economy/budget will not be the undoing of the Rauner Administration. It will be the revelation of years of corruption in the ISP that cannot be shoved away with a wink and a nudge as in years past. Prieb would stumble into a gold mine there.

I was there and he didn't run anywhere. He had another meeting and told people that. I have 22 years OTJ and never saw an alderman at a CAPS mtg until I came to 019. Attacking him for this is stupid and petty.
