Rahm as a Plaintiff Witness?
- Could Rahm Emanuel be headed to the witness stand?
Attorneys representing two police officers who said they faced retaliation for trying to reveal corruption, say they will call the mayor to testify about a so-called “code of silence” in the Chicago Police Department.
The mayor’s office said it will oppose any such effort, but lawyers for the two officers say he is key to their case, because he has publicly acknowledged that officers sometimes cover for each other.
“We now have an admission from the highest, within the City of Chicago, that the code of silence exists,” says attorney Christopher Smith.
This would certainly be an interesting deposition or appearance on the stand. Could Rahm have inadvertently (or purposely) thrown the entire Chicago Machine under a bus that is careening out of control? Because if there is, and he has knowledge of, a police "code of silence," then what of the "code of silence" among:
- the aldercreatures?
- At the various city Departments infiltrated by assorted organized crime figures?
- Maybe the Outfit connections throughout the Metropolitan and Pier Exposition Authority?
- Among the denizens of City Hall?
- The County Board? Certain political families married to certain mob families?
- A certain ex-mayor hanging around other "connected" individuals?
- Certain scandals like Hired Truck? Parking meters? RedFlex?
- Rahm's unerring instinct to hire outsiders who are already under investigation elsewhere?
There are a whole bunch of "codes" that need explaining. We welcome them all.

Here's a code: 19B. Next case. Rham's smoke and mirror game to create a diversion of course.
Don't forget the news media themselves. They get all their parking tickets non-suited through the police news media office. That makes them exempt like the mayors drivers from any prosecution and that is corruption my friends.
How about the wife beater newsman Neil Steinberg. I didn't see his picture and story 15 times a night on the news or how about Hosea Sanders drug use? That didn't see to make the papers and tv 20 times a day either. How about the Dave Savini drunk driving and leaving the scene? Badly a blip.
I think the media has a code of silence too.
Let's let it all hang out and start fresh!
Right after the election maybe, HA, HA, HA enjoying my great pension out of state!
What a tangled web has been woven over the years.
Testify like Daley was supposed to?? Haha yeah right
Code of silence just like in journalists Omerta and in medical field? That code of silence?? Every profession has an Omerta.

Sheeeeeiiiit...
You knocked the m/fing cover off this one, SCC...
(Unraveling as it sails over the fence)
All the noise about "Police Code of Silence"
is revealed as nothing but distraction.
The Municipal Corporation "Code of Silence"
is the biggie.
The Local Media "Code of Silence."
We think you should keep this
hotted-up, SCC.
We hope that not only does that twitching weasel-pimp of a mayor finds himself
chained to the witness chair and compelled to give testimony, we also hope
they wave a shovel full of live coals under the seat.
Rahm's been nowwhere to be found.
Maybe the Rahm & Co./Local Media
Spin Machine is starting to spontaneously
self disassemble itself because Rahm tried
to shove so much bullshit and Fuckery into it.
The way you play
is the way you pay...
He should call Daley and ask him what to say to da judge so he doesn't have to testify.
Richie knows the lingo. "Hey dare judge I got CRS (can't remember shit) disease so i can't go up dare and testify."
OT:
The City Council is talking to FOP about taking our next contract to the "constituents" for approval?
FOP's counter move should be to compel every last dues paying member to sign a petition creating a referendum to reduce the number of aldermen to 15. Send it to the electorate for a vote. And campaign actively in press and media why it's a good idea to reduce the number of aldermen, how much they waste and how much money would be saved and how much corruption cut out. It should now be our mission to ruin those ignorant illiterate thieving corrupt pandering jagoffs for their insolence.
Oh, and no more stipend to rent offices. Aldermen can have a cubicle inside a police station working under the same audio, visual and telephone surveilance that we must work under. Put them in the CAPS office. The aldermen and CAPS officers should have a lot to talk about.
This shit has to end.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
This is some great shit.
Didn't Maria get in a to-do with Gloria E in area north? My memory is not that great, but I seem to remember something like that. And Gloria kicked the crap out of her?
Did rahm make it to Cuba ?
Or how about this one, Aramark who just got the city wide contract for Cps is partly ( at least a third) owned by rhams brother. How did that happen.
Get Ed and Anne Burke in there while they're at it. How are these two not in jail?
Rahmbo will probably respond as some other Dick responded, "I don't remember what I don't remember!"
How about ALL the organized crime figures married into the Daley family? How about ALL those boy scouts and honor students in anohn Daley's organization? And the police chaplain "associates" with all of them.
These are the same people who will recommend suspending po's without pay.
SCC you have really hit your stride. Keep it up.
How about the "Mayoral code of silence" Rahm refuses to reveal facts about "Lil Richie" thieven deals on the parking meter scandal and the sales of Chicago Skyway and how about the RothIron and flower bed street projects.
Why is it that the Mayors and Aldermen can have secrets and a code of silence?
Every profession has a code of silence or that profession would not exist.
Even cheats and bakers kave a code of silence, try to get a recipe from one.
speaking of Organized Crime in City Departments....just for starters..The Dept.of Water Management is LOADED with sons,nephews,cousins son-in law, of some of the top crime bosses in the city,um if there is such a thing in Shitcago, Streets and the Dept of Tony are totally mobbed up.Of course Shortshanks never knew about any of this,and even if he did he had a "stroke" remember..so he skates from all his misdeeds ( brilliant move by the way). Rham will blame it all on the CPD, get the number of that bus boys and girls..
God bless you all
How about the fact that the news media written or electronic refuses to identify the offender in crimes if he is "black". They tell you to watch out for the suspect and then give a physical description, clothing description and never say his/her race, amazng
Amusing take on the
Emanuel Recall Referendum:
Rahm has his minions beefing about how
putting a recall referendum on the state
law books constitutes "changing the rules
in the middle of the games."
>Crickets &c...<
Just like the well orchestrated legislative, judicial, political and media
ass-pull designed to put a non-resident, carpetbagging little weasel
weasel named Rahm Emanuel on the mayoral ballot to preclude any
local churl from winning election then turning around and gifting the FEDS
with the REAL municipal books...
Can you imagine a reality in which the dirty business, charity, financial
and government lick-hitters are chased down and lynched by the media
in the same manner they're chasing down Policemen?
We smell a "code of silence" that all the usual suspects strain and shit
themselves from the great effort required to avoid seeing the obvious.
The War on Police and Policing is
an artfully crafted diversion.
"We paid out $500 Million because of you guys!"
That is quite unfortunate and regrettable but is
eminently correctible with training, continuing education
and tighter pre and post employment screening.
That along with a change in CPD management culture
and the cessation of the bean counter mentality that
seeks to overlay a "corporate model" on something
that is inherently messy, dangerous and unpredictable
as Policing a large democrat controlled urban center.
Thus sayeth a suspected "Mount Greenwood Inbred."
And while the ignorant pontificate about $500 Million in
law suit settlements, they energetically avoid any acknowledgement
of the untold multiple $BILLIONS of dollars that have been/are continuing
to be sto.... Err... "Misappropriated" from the taxpayer treasury here in Chicago.
>A rat scurries. Siren wailing in the distance.
A dog sniffs curiously then turns to squat and take a shit.
Empty flamin' hots bag dances in the wind<
"If only you wild-assed, out of control Cops..."
One hell of a narrative they've managed
to script, isn't it?
Well... Since it's The Police who
are seen as the problem?
Police like you have no friends.
This city is broken beyond repair or salvage,
is rendered wholly dysfunctional and ungovernable
and is populated by an un-diligent, intellectually disinterested majority.
Pity the clear-eyed and upright man.
The best he can do is to walk circumspectly
and protect himself and himself alone.
How about some of these Commander's who are KNOWN thieves that are still on this job. How about FOIA on every Commander. Let's open up all their histories. The PO's are out there for public scrutiny. I can just imagine what some of these bastards did...
Well stated SCC. I would LOVE to see the media and the political code of silence called to task.
Unfortunately, it will never happen. But we can dream.
"could Rham be head for the witness stand" it read when instead it should read, "Rham will be beheaded on the witness stand"
"Code of silence just like in...medical field?"

Oh, yes, my friend.
The White-Coated Wall Of Silence. Make a squeak against one, and all close ranks in an all-ways-facing "hollow square," their scalpels gleaming, ready for whatever may come.
There are some genuinely mentally disturbed people behind pharmacy counters, too. Enough that I've encountered them "more than once."
"Prescription drug abuse?" Well, who is back there all day, every day, with all that stuff, and knows every twist, turn, and machination of the entire system?
I have long supported random drug testing for pharmacists and "pharmacy aides." Don't get me wrong, a lot of you are just great, friendly and helpful and will really go out of your way to help the patient, but there are some...
The Department of Streets and Sanitation was under mob control from the time that Big Jim Colosimo was a top precinct captain for 1st Ward Aldermen Bathhouse John Coughlin and Hinky Dink Kenna.
Nothing new here.
What would happen if the Mayor and all the Aldermen wore body cameras in all interactions with each other and the public?
They would have to build an addition on the M.C.C. to handle the overflow.
Spilotro's brother used to work in S & S. I think he's dead now, but his checks keep being sent out. Is that illegal? :)

12/16/2015 05:21:00 That was Henny Penny, not Pena.
Rahm's been in contact with Shortshanks wanting to know how he could get the Fedheimers affliction that always seems to work for Shanks.
You have all, media included, missed a HUGE point. Rahm, master of the spin as he is, pulled the greatest fast one on everybody, and we all fell for it. He saw, or heard of, the video of the McDonald shooting when he was about to lose re-election. He could not possibly take a chance on a bad shooting in Chicago after Ferguson, so he paid off the family quickly and suppressed the video.
Now the key point is this: this was no bad shooting. The PCP crazed thug was burglarizing cars and threatening citizens, who called the police. He stabbed a squad car and slashed its tire. More units were called. He is on tape pulling his pants up (ghetto tactic for preparation for physical exertion), and popped out the folding knife from folded position to open. Then he made the fatal mistake of facing an officer when less than 12 feet away, armed with that knife after being violent with it already.
Had they released the information in that manner immediately, no harm, no foul. I know people get upset watching someone get shot, but it's never pretty to see that. The important point is that it could have been handled with little fallout, BUT Rahm couldn't take the chance on even a little fallout.
So he did what he did, and now instead of them targeting him, he spins it to a police department out of control when in fact, it's the politicians that are out of control. He is, again, a MASTER of spin. I congratulate him for his ability to deflect what was clearly his fault. Bravo.

awesome post, spot on. these liberals can eat shit and die
In 024 our former midnight wagonman used to drink a full bottle of vodka a night and be so drunk by check off he'd piss his pants and the front seat of the wagon. We brought it up to our Sgts and W/C and were met by blank stares and told to refer it to day W/C. He of course wanted nothing to do with it of course and said he had his hands full with his own guy that comes in 2-3 hrs late everyday shitfaced. Yet the bosses wonder why people with NO issues are so frustrated .
Drug testing for the Aldermen.
9:51 AM is correct
Media wants riots , black and white fear of each other
It will not work , people of all races want to live in crime free neighborhoods , we all work together , shop , attend church together , support the police . 2,000,000+ people live in Chicago , a few hundred agitators , many from out of town are allowed to disrupt this great city of Chicago , people in Chicago would not elect Jesse jackass as our dog catcher
Notice that even the you g protestors booed him .
If a recall election is allowed , there will be a new mayor black,brown ,white or yellow it will not be Rahman
No one believes his crying on camera , phony as a three dollar bill .

That wagon man has done more for himself, his family and coworkers in the last few years than you have in your life. Man up and tell him how you feel.

They never show the dashcam video of LaQuan right between the headlights, running like a sombitch from the squad car following him diagonally across a lawn.
Might give the (correct) impression that he was committing crimes in the area.
Now we got the bm saying that Loop demonstrations will continue right through Christmas...
Thanks, Rahm. Thanks, media. We're sure that merchants, bankers, shoppers, Loop workers, everyone appreciates this.
If I had to work the wagon in 024 on midnight I would drink a bottle of Kesslers each night. I would have to in order to work with coppers who rattled each other out. I wouldn't piss myself though.
The Feds could spend years investigating the corruption at the midway alone.
I want to say something about the code of silence......oops I can't because I'm silent.
SCC Rules. For all of your latest in Chicago politics ,tune in. Uncut and unedited . Keep up the good work.
Shades of Summerdale and Breaker Morant.
How about a Code Red?

So basically one can get drunk and piss himself and not have the ability to assist other cops but yet the guy who is informing the sgt is still doing less than the drunk? No wonder we are doomed. Maybe the sgt should man up and do their job. He told the sgt that the seat smelled like piss and so did the copper. If one is a big of a puck up as that, he should not be on the job. First is officer safety and second would be self accountability. What if he got into a shooting and had to blow? Who's going to help him fight the case and keep his job? Call it for what it is. Don't drink on duty and don't piss yourself, plain and simple. Stay fetal everyone.
I remember coming from a wedding and reporting for midnight rollcall one night. Everyone was laughing and telling the Sgt. to make me blow the box. He laughed and said, "nah, he'sa good drunk" and then put me with the squarest guy in the room. "Those were the day's my friend, we thought they would never end".........Sing along!
