And Another Video

This one is going to fan the flames - and its three years ago - and the officers were cleared by IPRA:
  • Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Monday condemned Chicago Police officers for their treatment of a 38-year-old man who was dragged from his cell in a South Side police lockup after an officer used a stun gun to incapacitate him in 2012.

    The city released a video showing six officers in a cell with Philip Coleman. One officer appears to use a stun gun on Coleman and another officer pulls his motionless body out of the cell by his arms.

    “I do not see how the manner in which Mr. Coleman was physically treated could possibly be acceptable,” the mayor said in a statement. “Something is wrong here — either the actions of the officers who dragged Mr. Coleman or the policies of the department.”
Not to disparage the mayor's massive ballerina muscles or anything, but there's only a limited number of ways to remove someone from a cell that measures maybe fifteen by fifteen feet, through a cage door two feet wide, especially if they don't want to exit. Dragging is about the only way.

But that is just the mayor, who hasn't lifted anything heavier than a bag of tomatoes in years. What is going to be the focus is the report and statement discrepancies that don't agree with a subjective viewing of the video. Things like that are easy fodder for federal investigations, and that is going to be their playbook.

Will the DOJ be investigating the Vanecko fiasco through all this?

Now that could make things VERY interesting. (Especially for a lot of clouted higher-ups.)

On the other hand, because the victim was white, they probably won't care how that case was handled.

Because of course he his.

To those of you in CPD wondering 'why bother?' at this point. Know that there are still many of us out here that appreciate and support your hard work and sacrifice.

Please keep us safe.

Rahm stole a line from the DOJ. Nice try Rahm. Trying to be original isn't your thing but jumping on the bandwagon is something you're a beast at. 'Those darn policies need to be investigated!' He says this 2 days after the DOJ launched a probe into the policies of the CPD. A very irrelevant little dude.

So the mayor is just now seeing this?
Where has he been and from my understanding CPD dropped the ball in more than one way.
Gulliford called an emergency with all 005 Dist personnel to discuss how fucked up everything was and states that the kid had an drug in his system that was consistent with bath salt. Remember Gulliford you said it first and you were the Deputy chief of A2 at the time. Now I see why you're taking your pension and running. How can we as a department allow a prisoner whose family member said the arrestee was suffering from a nervous breakdown sit for more than 10 hours without being given medical treatment when he was clearly out of his mind.
Then to add salt to the wound, the department changed the order on Handling prisons in need of Mental Treatment shortly after Young Colemans death. Everything about that scene was screwed up and the department is liable.
This kid was a 2 time college graduate with high honors and had never been arrested, from a good family and his Father with a Law enforcement background.
You all that sits at the top have been covering shut up for many many years, time to expose that white collar BS and that long history of nepotism and lies
Good nite you fucking Morans

Uniform , grooming standards do not exist in the Chicago Police Department , again lack of supervision .
Merit promotions bring down morale , officers are hidden inside , long lunches , short hours while the beat officer works one man without any back up .

I love how the mother is on every news channel saying that she is not going to stop until she gets what she wants. We are a society that is ruled by law, not what the mob wants, period. Once a society is ruled by the mob, it is doomed. Look at what happened to the Roman Empire, which was a republic ruled by law until the mob took over. The Officer in this case acted properly based on the rule of law, and even with all her faults, Anita did show that. This was quickly forgotten by the media and most of the general public.

The below statement is probably the most accurate and succinct thing that I have read in regards to the new state of the department.

"Officers, don't let your ego get the better of you. This is 2015. The badge used to be the key to the City, and CPD was feared and our actions not questioned. It was understood that Chicago was a rough town and needed rough coppers. Not now. Not any more. What else has to happen for you people to get the point?"

He wasn't injured at lock-up, he was literally euthanised by a doctor at the hospital.

CPD would best serve their community by performing their job description which is more congruent with the ideals of our nation's founders.

Investigate reports of criminal activity. Arrest people by warrant almost exclusively. And before actually arresting anyone, they must un-roll their parchment and read the warrant to the person.

"Hear ye, hear ye...."

If they run, or whatever. Fine.

Govern with the degree of consent which the community gives them. Haha.

Time for unions to speak!!!

Remember if your looking at time now the micromanaging mayor can ( through internal minions ) put you into the " board" so you can NOT receive your time and possibly face termination based on your CR history.

It has been done in a few recent cases where board has over stepped their power and YOU will be put out to fend for yourself if chancery court ( cook county war chest judges for mayor) agree.

Mayor is attacking union vulnerability in legal aspect as to see how much they can spend to defend the masses.

Then YOU the individual will be raked over the coals thrown to controlled media where the TMZ mayor will through his watchdog minions " discredit" you and your career via video, FOIA, and news reports. Then be ready to be stripped and sit while you wait to see your career taken away.

Watch as the department the media and others turn on you.

This is a real and current issue that the unions should realize and react to now before the total dismantling of staff continues or fully begins.

No Rahm you are CONdemned.

Your newly appointed Superintendent was not here but a month memorial day 2011 when YOU came up with your "HEAT emergency" at North Ave. Beach. Remember that lie your and Garry Concocted to cover the fact the a large group of thugs took over your premier beach and beat and robbed dozens of citizens. Even when the radio calls were published in the News you still maintained your lies.

Koschman you and only you had the power to protect the officers involved in this disaster even when a special council provided a detailed report YOU even had the nerve to promote the ring leader to Chief of Detectives. You Rahm and only You, you're in charge.

Your City Comptroller under investigation and indicted, convicted. What was YOUR interview process Rahm did he tell you he would do what ever you wanted. More lies to cover your tracks.

GCTR Bruce Rauner's investment company that you gave the entire Chicago Teacher's Pension fund to-Rauner virtually doubling the value of Brucie Poohs company. Rauner sold the company at a hefty profit prior to running for Governor both you and your Broke Back Illinois com-padre got a nice campaign contribution for the new owners.

The SUPEs scandal and the indictment of Barbra Byrd Bennett. Who the F%%$ gets an education official from Detroit? Again YOUR carpetbagger already under investigation in Michigan when YOU!!! appointed her head of the Chicago Public Schools. Most Importantly, YOU KNEW that she was going to be indicted but you hid that fact from the public for YOUR RE_ELECTION CAMPAIGN. Much like you hid the McDonald video from the public. Bennett must have gone through the same hiring process as your Convicted City Comptroller. Funny thing Rauner is one of the directors of the SUPES program. Mr Education Mayor my ass lying about higher graduation rates from a for profit GED mill, which gave students diploma's from their former CPS Schools. Remember Rahm you had to own up to that LIE as well a few months back, Of course Right After YOUR RE-ELECTION.

"I didn't see the video" best fairy tale of all I bet you watch that at least 2 dozen times with you legal team and a number of Alderman. You covered up the McDonald shooting from everyone only the highest echelons of the city (People you appointed RAHM) knew there was a problem, why-so you could get RE-ELECTED. A long established pattern of lying you are as transparent as a brick wall, a liar and a thief.

You Will try to throw everyone under the bus because you're backed into the corner, but YOU, RAHM are in charge, it's your responsibility as Mayor, and all lies come directly back to YOU! QUIT SHIFTING THE BLAME. Why don't you do the honorable thing admit you lied fall on the sword, there is no honor among thieves. And nobody but Nobody "PUTS BABY IN THE CORNER."

This Video Release Initiative (VRI) is a decisive political maneuver to draw attention to the CPD that Rahm himself called corrupt.
Rahm calling the CPD corrupt...as if we had any choice in who ran this Dept into the ground.
Rahm won't release his emails pertaining to the CPS Byrd-Bennett corruption investigation.
I'm appalled that any officer is still pro-active in the ghetto, especially now after another video release in attempt to discredit the lawful use of force. Yeah-yeah ethics, that's bullshit. Did you sign up to be a punching bag for the bad guy or a scapegoat for the Mayor?
Your court time to answer the DOJ will be compensated, but I guarantee you that it won't be enough when they find you in liable of some obscure violation and paying some astronomical punitive award.
The media is giving a tremendous amount of airtime to the deadbeat loud mouths, even Rahm called the Coleman jail cell incident disgraceful. Is that a Mayor or a community activist lambasting us?
Rahm is now, more than ever the voice of the #BLM. He is no different than those elected officials in Baltimore.

WAKE UP.... STAY AWAY FROM THE HOOD. You will not change the culture. You will not win. Your family will not benefit from your long hours or your aggressive policing. No longer will your supervisor cover your ass. Your involvement in those matters will not make a difference. No overtime will be enough to support an attorney to protect your assets.

Work smart and let the Community Loudmouths handle their own problems. Stay out of the ghettos. If some officer needs backup, we have to respond. Moreover, try not to be that officer that needs help...TRY NOT TO GET INVOLVED in the first place.

In reality, if this guy had simply stood up and did what the officers asked he would have left the cell like an adult instead of a damn fool. I hate that no one takes responsibility for their actions anymore. Fucking pussies.

This is Bullshit. No, sorry Trolls, not what the police did, but what this asshole in the cell, Phillip Coleman did: ..........
----- 7:26:49 -- Officer comes to cell and tells Coleman to get up. Coleman ignores the officer's order.
----- 7:27:15 -- Cell door opens. Coleman still refusing officer's commands.
----- 7:28:16 -- Coleman stands up, then immediately sits back down. Resisting more lawful orders from police.
----- 7:28:17 -- Multiple Police Officers now are compelled to do what is required to get this asshole out of the cell.
----- 7:29:00 -- Coleman is dragged out the cell door.
Once again some entitled asshole winds up dead after resisting lawful orders from police officers.
----- Coleman subsequently dies, all due to him ignoring lawful orders and resisting police officer.

What does Tiny Dancer f--king expect police to do, huh?..give these assholes a bouquet of Roses every time they encounter these shitheads and beg them them to comply: .....
'Pretty please, please do what I say, here's some nice flowers for you.'

So if Rahm wants to 'blast' and 'condemn' a group of people I suggest he start with the Black Community, telling them in no uncertain terms to -- OBEY THE POLICE!

Every one of these deaths are 100% avoidable as all the person had to do was to obey the police officer!! How f--ing hard is that to understand!!

Young Coleman as you call him is responsible for his behavior regardless of how many degrees he has. If he had mental issue as you say it is his responsibility to seek help and take his meds regularly. You also state that he had bath salts in his system. If he was taking illegal narcotics then he is definitely responsible for his actions.

That being said, this department has not always gotten it right when they interpret custodial care. Once you take custody that subject is your responsibility. You cannot reverse whatever drug he took or cure his mental illness but if you think he needs care or even more so has requested care you better give it to him no matter how big of an asshole he is. I'm not trying to be on a high horse, none of us are doctors. I'm just trying to give advice on how best to avoid a situation like this. Even if you've been battered by a mental and charges apply, after it's all over and you can take a minute to think about it. Should this guy go in for meds and then back to lockup so I can proceed criminally, or maybe it would be better to have him taken to the psych ward and admitted for three days. It's a hard call every time. I'm sure if 002 and 008 could go back in time to the day that they locked up that mental female and she ended up getting thrown out of the 8th floor of a project building, they would undoubtedly had taken her to the psych ward. Evaluate the entire situation. If Mr. Asshole is a past police fighter then definitely consider the criminal route. If Mr. Asshole is only asshole for the day then contemplate putting him in the psych ward. Think bigger. Young Coleman has a degree and most likely a job. Nothing precludes you going after him civilly. Agg Batt for Young Coleman will quickly go down to simple battery by a lenient judge with no consequences and a nice fee for his defense lawyer. Civil proceedings over your bloody nose might produce a nice fee for a friend that is a lawyer and maybe a little trip to Disney for you and your family.

This department has for too long been numbers driven, arrests, crime rates, homicide totals etc. I think it affects how long we take to do our jobs. Take as much time as you need to do your job to your satisfaction so you are protected. An hour or two more on a job getting it right could save you years of agony down the road. If a supervisor gets on you for taking too long, too bad. Make the city hire enough police.

I am retired CPD, For obvious reasons, I will not reveal my identity. However, I will give you a clue. During my career, I have both documentation as well as several bosses separately informing me that as a member of the CPD, I had more Part I felony arrests than anyone in the entire history of the once proud CPD. I consider myself blessed in that I have never had to shoot anyone and have no brutality or money beefs.

The manner in which the officers dragged resisting police fighter Phillip Coleman from the cell was obviously unconscionable. Like the serial murderer cannibal Hannibal Lecter in the film "The Silence of the Lambs", , the officers should have brought a hand truck to the cell. Pillow padding would be essential for the resister's comfort. They should have then securely strapped Mr. Coleman to the hand truck and wheeled him out of the cell. Dependent on circumstances, a cozy muzzle may be used to avoid biting by the prisoner. No duct tape. Don't be surprised if this visionary method will be the subject of a forthcoming G.O. which will also initiate free Prozac dispensers in all CPD squad rooms.

My heart goes out to you active guys who must suffer these despicable fools. While we all know that the job is legit, if you have any masochistic friends or relatives that are seriously considering a CPD career, involuntary committal to an asylum is essential to their welfare.

Above all, STAY "FETAL". In the current anti-police climate, you have no other option. Stay safe, guys.

I look for many of these IPRA cases to be reopened and reinvestigated either by Fairly or by the US Attorney. I was a pretty aggressive working police officer in my day and proud of it. But, under these current circumstances and the anti-police rhetoric and cop haters coming out of the woodwork, I firmly believe that police officers would be advised to just answer you calls and do no aggressive work. If you can't catch them let them go. DO NOT shoot anyone unless they are shooting at you. Slow down. Your job and your families welfare hangs in the balance.

I have to agree with you, but in a limited way. The city and department have been doing things on the cheap for so long they do not know a better way. Training on handling mental cases is lacking and the desk crews are famous for blowing things off. Remember the mental girl from California who wondered into Wentworth, was arrested and pushed out the door only to be taken into the high rise and attacked? Those things happen way too often. Lack of funds to buy equipment, indifferent desk crews protected by the boss, phony merit promotions, lack of manpower and the list goes on. I might add cover-ups within IAD for people of clout ( I know I worked there). I fully expect a total review of all police shootings by the Justice Department, possibly going back years. The shit is going to hit the fan and the only people hurt are the honest, hard working coppers, like always.

Go to calls, write very long and detailed reports. Don't stop anyone who you don't have probable cause (not reasonable suspicion.) If the person is black know they are not going to cooperate, so don't contact them unless they are going to jail and you can justify to the liberals that force is necessary. Remember, the only good shooting to DOJ is one where the officer is hit and then returns fire. If someone has to die, well, I suspect they would prefer it be the cop. (Isn't that what they get paid for?"

The consent degree has no impact on the road cops. It a pain in the ass for the administrators. Take your time on calls, and expect to be on tape.

Don't make on-view arrests if you can avoid it. See something happen, write a report.

In Oakland (which makes Chicago seem republican) the cops don't arrest people for possession of drugs, stolen property or any non-lethal contraband. Take the dope, write a report, apply for a warrant and then arrest the person later when there is no question of PC. Piss off the politicians when we follow the letter of the law.

Crime goes up....who cares? It is too bad that Chicago cops have to live in the city.

Where has he been and from my understanding CPD dropped the ball in more than one way.
Gulliford called an emergency with all 005 Dist personnel to discuss how fucked up everything was and states that the kid had an drug in his system that was consistent with bath salt. Remember Gulliford you said it first and you were the Deputy chief of A2 at the time. Now I see why you're taking your pension and running. How can we as a department allow a prisoner whose family member said the arrestee was suffering from a nervous breakdown sit for more than 10 hours without being given medical treatment when he was clearly out of his mind.
Then to add salt to the wound, the department changed the order on Handling prisons in need of Mental Treatment shortly after Young Colemans death. Everything about that scene was screwed up and the department is liable.
This kid was a 2 time college graduate with high honors and had never been arrested, from a good family and his Father with a Law enforcement background.

Listen ass-wipe.... when you show me the video of somebody holding a gun to his head making him ingest "bath-salts", then your argument has some credibility. Otherwise, STFU! I dont care how many fucking degrees he has or what his pedigree is. If he is using mind altering drugs, he's a junkie and deserves to be treated like a junkie. I've handled many cases of Medical Doctors who overdosed on drugs that they were able to prescribe to themselves! An advanced degree does not make you a "special" candidate. And just for your edification, my daughter is a heroin junkie and when she is found dead in some south or west side whorehouse, I'M NOT BLAMING THE SYSTEM. IT WAS HER FUCKING DECISION TO RUIN HER LIFE! Whatever your relationship is to this guy, accept the fact that HE made a poor life decision that resulted in his death. THERE IS NOBODY ELSE TO BLAME!!!!!! THAT is the problem with Black America. Nobody accepts personal responsibility. It's ALWAYS somebody else's fault!

The only solution is pain compliance. If they continuously resist and fail to comply with your commands simply taze them, cuff them and utilize pain compliance to force them to walk, remain calm and do whatever action necessary to allow you to do your job.

This guy physically fought his family, and yet the family and media blame the police for "his over 90 injuries." A bruise here and there I'm sure make up most of the injuries noted. But no one has the balls to say he was out of control and in a physical confrontation with his family and THEY CALLED for the police to take him away. They caused his death, not the police. Instead of calling the police, why didn't they recognize he was dealing with mental issues, or at least that's what they're saying now after the fact, but instead of calling the police, why didn't they call a private ambulance and have him taken to a mental health facility and involuntarily sign him in themselves. Opps, hold up! That means their service wouldn't be free. Pay for a private? Maybe a medical bill or two? Aw, Hell Naw.

The Chicago Police Department is not equipped to deal with mental illness, especially violent or ill offenders. This is a medical issue and not a law enforcement responsibility. In most cases these people are not charged, they are forcibly dealt with and the families, caretakers, politicians and community activists blame the police for dealing with them. Hey! We get called to the party, we are not the host. This is a medical issue and not a law enforcement issue. Yep, I said it again. So, if they are criminally insane and have committed a serious crime we may need to tell the hospital staff he could be arrested so they should keep him available. Other than that, when you get a mental call, tell the Zone to send an ambulance and you'll meet them there. We can assist the paramedics restraining their patient at the direction of the doctor and then they can scoot him off to whatever treatment facility best for his medical condition. We are done handling mentals!

The police in this state do not call the authority which regulates drivers licenses and license plates DMV. Anyone who wants to do this GO TO the Secretary of State's office and I strongly urge you to use a Post Office Box to register your vehicles and just about everything else, like phone bills and subscriptions. A P.O. Box can't be used for a driver's license in an urban area unless the rules changed.

I am retired CPD, For obvious reasons, I will not reveal my identity. However, I will give you a clue. During my career, I have both documentation as well as several bosses separately informing me that as a member of the CPD, I had more Part I felony arrests than anyone in the entire history of the once proud CPD. I consider myself blessed in that I have never had to shoot anyone and have no brutality or money beefs.

The manner in which the officers dragged resisting police fighter Phillip Coleman from the cell was obviously unconscionable. Like the serial murderer cannibal Hannibal Lecter in the film "The Silence of the Lambs", , the officers should have brought a hand truck to the cell. Pillow padding would be essential for the resister's comfort. They should have then securely strapped Mr. Coleman to the hand truck and wheeled him out of the cell. Dependent on circumstances, a cozy muzzle may be used to avoid biting by the prisoner. No duct tape. Don't be surprised if this visionary method will be the subject of a forthcoming G.O. which will also initiate free Prozac dispensers in all CPD squad rooms.

My heart goes out to you active guys who must suffer these despicable fools. While we all know that the job is legit, if you have any masochistic friends or relatives that are seriously considering a CPD career, involuntary committal to an asylum is essential to their welfare.

Above all, STAY "FETAL". In the current anti-police climate, you have no other option. Stay safe, guys.

I think maybe you need to step back and look at this from a little different perspective. A guy is dead over a very minor act of defiance.

This seems to be the common factor in a whole bunch of recent videos of police interactions that went wrong. Minor acts of defiance end up with dead people at the hands of police.

Somehow that is going to have to change or there will be no support from the public at all for police. It does not matter much if it is arguably legal. It is a huge problem and instead of defending it police departments are going to have to work out some way of preventing these kind of incidents from happening, or the very legitimacy of policing will be in jeopardy.

There will never be much support for the police from the criminal sector, but police have started to lose support from people who traditionally supported them. Police departments are going to have to figure out how to stop that slide or the end result is going to be a huge mess.

I don't even think that more open and fair investigations is the answer either. The incidents just have to stop happening somehow. It does not make all that much difference if a cop gets charged for the incident. The video is still there.

There are departments that are able to handle these issues without ending up with dead people on their hands, so I am pretty sure there is an answer somewhere.
