"Secret Contract!"

DNA Info continues to swim in the media sewer - this is from an actual article by alleged "journalists:"
  • Let’s be honest, not many people had read the Chicago Police union contract before video of the fatal shooting of Laquan McDonald was released and the U.S. Justice Department launched an investigation into dirty dealings at the Police Department.

    As things turned out, the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 7 contract is filled with fascinating tidbits that shed light on what it’s like to be a big-city cop — especially when an officer faces misconduct allegations or has fired a gun on duty.
We can hardly wait to see the give-and-take between the reporters and the FOP! And then...uh...what? There isn't a single quote from the FOP explaining things? You mean this is just another smear job by the "impartial hacks" in the media? Well, grab the popcorn! Maybe we can explain things:
  • For instance, according to the police contract, officers who face misconduct allegations or fire a gun:

    Must make a first statement to their supervisor in secret.
In secret? Really? You mean when an Officer is ordered to make a statement? Where that whole "Right to remain silent" thing falls by the wayside because the Officer is in a position where his testimony may be used against him solely because he cannot refuse to answer questions? We must have forgotten the part where Officers have no Rights under the Constitution.
  • Cannot be publicly identified
Um, duh? The Department doesn't identify arrestees until such time as they are charged, arraigned or have appeared in Court. Officers are entitled to the same protections as a lowly dope dealer, aren't they? Oh wait, Officers aren't citizens according to the media narrative.
  • Can postpone making statements in shooting cases with people other than their supervisor for two hours unless he or she claims to be “physically or emotionally unable to provide a statement within the two-hour time period … accepting at face value all good faith claims of an Officer’s inability to provide a statement.” 
Sure, because the Officer hasn't been involved in what is arguably and demonstrably the most stressful incident in their careers. The investigation better just rush around and ask everyone questions before they have any time to properly digest the events. Chest pains? Not today Officer - you aren't a citizen, let alone a human being!
  • Receive provided written copies of all their statements.
Again, duh? Why wouldn't you be provided with it? Dope dealers and their lawyers get everything. Why should Officers be deprived of the same Rights?
  • Get interviewed by the Independent Police Review Authority “preferably while … on duty, or if feasible, during daylight hours.”
This is a Daley bean-counter provision - god forbid we have to pay anyone overtime when they can just order them to appear during their shift. And conducting interrogations in the dead of night doesn't mess with anyone's recollections, right?
  • Allowed to interrupt interrogation sessions, which must be a "reasonable" amount of time, for "personal necessities, meals, telephone calls and rest."
Are these asshole reporters serious? Do they have any idea how many convictions have been returned or reversed because the Police didn't allow for bathroom breaks? Because the Police denied someone food? That they couldn't contact a lawyer? Or sleep deprivation allegations? Who the fuck are these jagoffs to complain that Gestapo/KGB techniques are completely acceptable to be used on Officers when they're the same asshats who'd do a three-part series on a child rapist who was denied a burger when he got hungry?
  • May be allowed to review, when permitted by the city, any video or audio evidence before being interviewed by IPRA investigators.
God lord, this is reporting? Again, C-I-T-I-Z-E-N-S. Officers have Rights, same as scumbags.
  • Can revise statements without punishment after seeing video or other evidence from the shooting.
Sure, because again, the most stressful incident of an Officer's career can't result in different interpretations of the facts at hand. Video can't refine or sharpen the memories of what you experienced. You might think you only fired five or six shots, but the ET collected a dozen pieces of brass - it's completely fine that they withhold this evidence to trap you in a "lie." Are you fucking kidding us?
  • Will not be charged with violating Rule 14 (making false statements, written or oral) if they are not allowed to review video or other evidence before being interviewed by IPRA.
Okay, we're getting into full dumbassery here. If you aren't allowed any of the three previous Contractual guarantees, how can you be charged with a Rule 14? Remember, these are "journalists" who went to "school" to write this horseshit.
  • Can decline to take a lie-detector test.
Given the unreliability of lie detector tests and their inadmissibility in most Courts, why is this a surprise? Oh yeah, because Officers can be ordered to do certain things, so the FOP made sure that this pseudo-science wasn't one of them.
  • Shall not be made available to be interviewed by reporters unless the officer is criminally convicted or discipline is finalized by the Chicago Police Board or police superintendent.
Given the "quality" of this article, we'd agree completely with this provision.
  • Shall be informed of the identity of the two officers (and just two) assigned to conduct the misconduct interrogation.
Thank goodness for this one, otherwise IPRA and IAD would still be wearing the hoods and zipper masks while interrogating Officers. Seriously, Officers are expected to identify themselves for every interaction with a citizen. Detectives are required to introduce themselves prior to any interrogations. But these goofs want a Star Chamber of Inquisitors to be able to question Officers. You can tell these people long for the days of Stalin and Mao.
  • Can agree to “mediate” the resolution of misconduct allegations with IPRA or Internal Affairs in private (without case investigators present) to negotiate disciplinary action.
Another Shortshanks clause - it's used as a threat. "You can accept the five/ten/fifteen days suspension we are offering, or we'll go to the Board for 30-Pending-Separation. You might win in Court, but that will be two years down the road and you'll be unemployed during that time." It takes the political damage out of the process. The mayor can claim "swift discipline" and minimize fallout.

Then the article gets to the heart of the matter - money. Damn you Contract!
  • ...the contract also allows officers who face up to three days' suspension to forfeit accumulated vacation, personal days, and even “baby furlough days” rather than being removed from actually serving a suspension.
Um, so what? The jails aren't filled with people who run red lights or park on hydrants. They get a ticket, can plead guilty and pay a fine, and move on with their lives. They are a little poorer in the wallet, but wiser in the ways of driving and parking and life goes on. Officers get tagged for all sorts of violations - missing court, uniform deficiencies, grooming standards, etc. They get a SPAR, plead guilty and pay a fine in the form of forfeited benefits - it's still a financial hit. Then they move on, a little poorer in the wallet, but wiser in the ways of the Department. What do these morons want? Officers fired for a red-light violation?
  • Also, officers disciplined for misconduct who appeal their punishment to an arbitrator are not required to serve suspensions — and remain on paid status — until an arbitrator (or the Police Board in officer termination cases) makes a ruling on the merits of punishment.
Once again, the Right to an appeal - fine for criminals, but not for Officers - welcome to Leftist la-la land.
  • ....the contract guarantees an officer:

    At least two hours of overtime “call back” pay for officers required to return to beat meetings when not on duty

    At least two hours of overtime pay to attend required court sessions when not on duty.
Imagine that - Officers wanting to be paid for being ordered to show up, off duty, in uniform, representing the Department, and subject to Department rules and regulations. Have you ever heard of such a thing? We know for a fact that when we see construction workers on the road every two or three miles, they're not doing it for money - they're there for free, wanting only to build roads. And automobile assembly line workers in that great city of Detroit? They aren't there earning filthy money - they're there simply to build a fine American made automobile. And reporters? They don't want money. They just want to report actual facts and make sure that the electorate has the information needed to make a good decision so we have leaders who are beyond reproach and not helping spread an agenda that damages society as a whole. So damn you greedy Officers!
  • A $1,800-a-year uniform allowance

    A $3,480-a-year “duty availability” allowance that is “not dependent on an officer being present for duty for an entire pay period.”
To cover cleaning, replacement, updates along with bulletproof vests and maintenance of equipment, and of course, ammunition, which for some reason, has gone up in price in Cook County so that we can practice and be proficient.

But again, this is another Daley bean counter "savings." You see, back in the day, the Police had the audacity to ask for...get this....raises. Prices kept going up, but salaries were stagnant, which made it difficult to actually, you know, live. But a higher salary would mean that Daley had to make a large pension contribution - salary is pensionable after all, and Daley was in the middle of the biggest theft-in-progress by not paying adequately into the pension, but rather spending the money on pet projects and giveaways to assorted voting blocs. So Daley's people came up with a way to give the cops more money while not raising their salaries, thus "saving" money. Funny how DNAInfo missed that - almost like there might be an agenda somewhere.
  • Time-and-a-half pay for serving as a language translator outside their assigned unit, plus a two-hour overtime pay bonus if work is done not during regularly assigned duties.
So what? Paramedics and firefighters get specialty pay for different qualifications. Construction workers get differential pay for working overnight. They're saying that Officers with a particular skill set shouldn't be compensated for their knowledge? And again, damn you Officers for not being available around the clock at the beck-and-call of the Department for free when you're home, in bed, reading to your children.
  • No limit on the amount of compensation time due an officer can accumulate.
Honest to god, who are these assholes? They want to limit the amount of money you can make? These aren't just lib-tarded leftists, they're full blown commies.

Remember, this is from a Contract that was negotiated with the City, presented to the Council, debated and voted upon by the aldercreatures...all in public. We don't see the media taking them to task. We don't even see DNAInfo doing an investigation into those "perks" like paying themselves rent from their slush-funds, voting themselves massive raises, directing business to their law officers, representing corporations that might do business with the city, making twice what an Officer does for a supposed part-time job and a pension that is fully funded to overflowing.

Nope, Police are the problem.

You said they "went to school" to learn how to be a journalist.. That's exactly the problem. These are all young, naïve, know nothing about the real world kids who moved to the big city from God knows what protected suburb, small town or out of state place and made it to "the big city". The watched one too many episodes of law and order and think they know everything because they got a college degree and their journalism professors told them that one day the will change and save the world with writing... You work for DNA info.... Stop trying to be bob Woodward. Learn about the ghetto, the city and what REAL life in this city is really like. It's not like your hipster Meccas of wicker park, 31st and Morgan, Lincoln park, wrigleyville and the gentrified yuppie part of Pilsen. You know knotting. I too have a college degree. I realized it's only a piece of paper on a frame and a big loan. College does nothing for you to succeed. Life skills, leadership, experience and people skills will get you everywhere. The millennial generation is the downfall of the United States. The men act and look like women and the women want to be men and they all think they will save the world and sing and hold hands with all races and people to save the world

What's not to understand? Liberals want the police to be public servants at the beckon call to provide service as the liberals think the job should be performed. And the liberals also think that cops should not be afforded any Constitutional Rights as well as Contractual Rights because the cops are public servants and should be held to a higher standard. Never mind when the same standards are applied to liberal politicians who refuse to allow themselves to be investigated by the Inspector General.

Hit piece commissioned by Rahm & Co.

The "Out of Control Inbred Killer Cops from

steam and Rahm is rightfully getting his ass
chafed for Blood-Bath 2016 and coppers
avoiding any contact with the "where y'all

of this city.

Avoiding the where y'all beens = avoiding the Feeb/DOJ
"Lynch-Mob" and ensures continued employment, intact
Police families and eventual collection of a pension.

These low-life, mis-mothered fucks want to see Policemen
swinging by their necks from lamp posts with their hands and feet tied...

Again...
This shit has Rahm's fingerprints all over it.

The Feebs he was more than happy to see rifle
through Coppers underwear drawers are uncomfortably
close to shining a hot and bright light down HIS ass...

Some shit about staring into the abyss and
the abyss stares back.

Along the same line Alderman Rodrick Sawyer(black caucus) was interviewed by WLS 890 radio reporter Bill Cameron on Connected to Chicago10 Jan 16 1900hrs. Sawyer was commenting he wants the council to revisit the FOP contract on police protection provisions that maybe should be re-thought. He also wants a special prosecutor for police involved shootings. He also wanted a black female, who just retired and would not name, to be his choice for police superintendant. He thinks a only a woman can break the "code of silence" in the CPD. He said thisis because the department is a "mens only club" and female officers are excluded.

That is a direct threat to communists in their plot to disarm and take over the United States. A free press is also a threat, so anyone not a party member is marginalized.

Just a couple weeks ago McCarthy or someone who is close to him gave that reporter info that made McCarthy look like he wanted to reform the department but was stopped by Rham. Now someone wanted to dump some negative police info into the open and he writes this piece.

This whole 'National Enquirer' article sounds a whole lot like someone's been buying into Garrrrrrry's b.s. complaints that he couldn't discipline sworn personnel as he (and only he) saw fit.

And that is why we HAVE a contract. So no one who is delusional enough to think they're the KING of this organization can just make decisions on a whim.

"Secret contract" writ out in blood down in the sub-sub-basement of the Homan Avenue Clandestine Detention And Interrogation Center.

Sound of dripping water. One bare 15-watt bulb swinging by a wire, casting weird giant shadows on the ancient brick walls with their crumbling, efflorescing mortar. A nervous lookout by the door in beret and ankle-length greatcoat, clutching a 75-year-old Sten gun.

A muffled shot echoes from the heavily-padded "Special Circumstances III" cell down the corridor...(photo here)

Same place it comes from at 1 PM. "Billy Pilgrim has come unstuck in time." No day, no night, all days of week, all months of year the same. Spend your time with your nose in a purple drank, looking for anything the tiniest bit different than you, anything that you can run down off the porch after and stomp lower into the cement. Flat tire on that block? Step on it and ride the rim until you at least get up to a major cross street with operating lighting, and then work real fast.

Brother, you'd be shocked. Shooting scenes here are so angry and emotional, even non-police shooting scenes, but it's all theatrics and aimed at inciting police. The crowd yells with anger, "bitch, do yo job!!! You mo'fuckas some bitches. You scared to go after the people that did this. Oooow shorty on my momma these mother fuckas some bitches." I love to calmy tell them I dont have a crystal ball but since the street talks, tell me who the shooter is any see if I don't get a warrant and kick his door down. They yell more nonsense about how that's our job (I presume that means being clairvoyant) and I then ask who the pussy is again. At this point their friends have to hold them back in more dramatic fashion.

I'm glad you enjoy your job and the environment. Fuck this city, I can't wait to join the rest of my family who have all left this liberal shithole. Give me an appreciative community worth my life and I may actually give my live, figuratively and literally. Until then, fuck them,, I'm laying down on the job. I'll focus on working out and loving my stress-free life off-duty

Sawyer was commenting he wants the council to revisit the FOP contract on police protection provisions that maybe should be re-thought. He also wants a special prosecutor for police involved shootings. He also wanted a black female, who just retired and would not name, to be his choice for police superintendant. He thinks a only a woman can break the "code of silence" in the CPD. He said thisis because the department is a "mens only club" and female officers are excluded.

Laura Washington on 11Jan16 writing about police reform during the Harold Washington administration relates that reform was thwarted by the FOP who began racialized attacks against the late Supt. Fred Rice including calling him 'Fried Rice.' Anyone who worked for 2nd District Commander Rice in the early 70's, can verify that the nicknames 'Fried Rice, and Old Mahoghony Head' (referring to Rice's shaved head), were bestowed upon him by Black Officers who felt that his strict military-like deportment was out of place in an overworked, undermanned police district tasked with serving the 60 plus CHA buildings that comprised the Robert Taylor, Stateway Gardens and Ida B.

Internet reporters are based on clicks. The more clicks the more advertising.

If you actually believe a reporter can read a contract and pull all those issues out himself I got news for you that was clearly a RAHM HACK job!

You see no mention of how we have to pee in a cup anytime the boss wants?
(Reporters love the herb.)

you see nothing about working holidays on midnights in a shit hole area for equal pay?

You see nothing about not being able to live where you want to live?

You see nothing about if you are injured and cant't function you are left out to dry?

You see nothing about the employer suspending you because your water bill is not paid?

You see nothing about supervisor going to your house to see if you are really sick?

You see nothing about how you can't speak freely or have a blog with your name because the City will fire you?

So the fat guy Konkol can pretend he is a genius at contract reading but I know Unit REP's in the FOP who could not point out all those thing in the contract!

All I know is Konkol will never have a pension and will be working till he's 70 writing funny quips on a local website so he can have insurance.

"Seven people were shot to death and 30 more were wounded across Chicago over the weekend, raising the number of shootings in the city to more than 100 in just over a week into the new year, according to police.

"The fatal shootings included two teens killed by a store clerk during a robbery in the Gresham neighborhood on the South Side, and one of three people shot at a party four blocks from Mayor Rahm Emanuel's home.

"As of Monday morning, at least 19 people have been killed in gun violence in Chicago this year and at least 101 more have been wounded, according to data compiled by the Tribune. This time last year, nine people had been killed and another 31 wounded, according to statistics kept by the Chicago Tribune.

-- From Friday afternoon through early Saturday, four people were killed and 12 others were wounded, including the three shot near the mayor's home.

-- From Saturday through early Sunday, three people were killed and nine others wounded, including the two teens shot in the South Side store.

-- Nine more people were wounded through Sunday night, according to police.

The only secret part of the contract is that they were still working on parts and changing things after it was supposedly voted on, passed by the city council, and in effect.

Nothing quite like going through some nonsense Cr# and turning to those who are supposed to know the process backwards and forwards (union) and be told that they do not know what steps to take because they are still working it out with the city. And this was way after the new one was in place. What else were they "still working out" after it was passed and how could a contract be voted on and then changed?

But, of course these same people will defend the teacher's union and their contract even though their contract protects all of the lousy teachers in the system who churn out kids who cannot read or write.

OT, anyone know which all districts now have the body cameras? 004, 007, 014, and which others?

Only 014 has body cameras.

>>>>Same place it comes from at 1 PM. "Billy Pilgrim has come unstuck in time." No day, no night, all days of week, all months of year the same. Spend your time with your nose in a purple drank, looking for anything the tiniest bit different than you, anything that you can run down off the porch after and stomp lower into the cement. Flat tire on that block? Step on it and ride the rim until you at least get up to a major cross street with operating lighting, and then work real fast

This is no joke. I once worked for a private company which was contracted to do some night-shift work all over Chicago.

Summer night. 3 am. The streets (not sidewalks, the literal streets for cars) completely clogged with adult humans doing nothing in particular.

When little shorties come to your door selling candy fo' they programs "to keep kids off the street", it means literally that because people are literally always in the fucking street.

A few weeks driving through the hoods was quite eye opening.

If you resembling middle class and live in the suburbs, there is an upside-down alien culture just 20 miles to the east.

It's hard to fully describe, and I wasn't even really in the thick of it. It was more like being on a safe tour bus driving through the African savannah.

"Hey DNAInfo ... try finding an old copy of The Seed, give it a read and take another stab at underground journalism."

Oh, man! The hippie standing by the steps of the old Public Library, where you came up the steps from the IC underpass.

"SEED! BUY THE SEED!"

So I bought one. Never forget that "split-fountain inking," you put a divider in the ink fountain on the press and ran orange ink on one side of the rollers and green on the other, and it blended to something else in the middle...really, like, uh, psychedelic, man.

Anyone remember Joe Dilys, the other regular who used to be out there in the sandwich board that said "VICTIM OF COMMUNISM," selling The Thunderbolt? "Ja, you should subscribe!" Great guy.

"Big city cop" with all its perks, eh?

I work in a satellite of Naperville and we gots more pay, more time off, no residency, and a general atmosphere of appreciation.

CPD really has it made? Yeah. Libtards can keep telling themselves that.

I recall a video of a CPD shooting. Within 30 seconds an angry crowd assembled. Where the fuck does an angry crowd come from at 1am??

If that happened out here, there might be an assembly (probably not), but the looky-loos would say: "Is there anything I can do to help officer??"

Think you need to step out of that satellite office a little more often... the SH*T has been out that way for awhile, no... not in the same numbers as here, but you'd understand the mentality of the beast if you got out more

Someone should tell these assholes that at one time any unused time due (there was no money option and no time and a half) was wiped off the books at the beginning of the new year. Guys in Homicide and Robbery lost untold amounts of earned time because they could not get a day off for various reasons, low manpower, too busy, etc.

Fuck the media.

The only difference between the police and aldermen when it comes to protecting their work interests...
The police have to beg and bargain for their 'rights' under a contract through negotiations and outside approval.
The aldermen are rightfully guaranteed their 'salaries and perks' thru a law (ordinance)that they alone vote and approve for themselves.
Don't even get me started on the difference in ethics, environment, hours, oversight, danger, perks, education,criminal background, training, conditions, equipment, salaries etc., between the two positions.

Reporters are what they are not journalists, journalists are accurate with facts in a story and show both sides, reporters are just that and often what they report is not even accurate.

1/11 @08:42 hrs-Naperville? Granted it is definitely not as violent. However, it is just as dangerous due to your SGT's & other white shirts. Over the years your beautiful Nippleville has had incidents where your white shirts arrested blue shirts and white shirts arresting other white shirts! You poor souls wear vests to protect yourselves from each other! I'd rather deal with west side junkies than west suburban cops from DuPage county. We see a former Naperville white shirt now become a chief trying to foster the same backstabbing culture in Highland Park but the trroops won't buy it and most white shirts still do the right thing. Asshat!

SCC could u explain 2 me,(retired),why I should still b a member of a (so called Union) to remain a member?

1/11/2016 05:09:00 PM

----------------------

My old partner and I [both retired] were just discussing this the other day. A news letter that is mostly advertising now, an FOP book, [which I actually kind of like but could do without], and some stickers that have fallen in demand and usage. I can go to the poorly run FOP webpage and get the death notices three months after the fact and has minimal retiree news though they are happy to take my money.

Not to mention that the one time in ten years when I contacted them by phone with a question, I got blown off by the President through the "Dolly" that answered the phone. Because some moron in another post I made about that incident said, "no one named Dolly works at the FOP", I'll clarify it for him/her. Dolly is slang for a dimwitted eye candy woman who is attached to a person or entity because of her certain "skills, wink, wink" and was not meant to be her actual name. Never having seen her, I don't know that she is eye candy or not but she was definitely dimwitted in that she didn't understand my question. Don't know about her "skills" but I'd give it a shot.

SCC, Please take time to acknowledge Sean Penn's role in capturing el chapo!!! I always thought Penn was anti law enforcement. I hope el chapo's henchmen do not hurt Penn in retaliation. Way to go Sean!

PAY ATTENTION......Penn did not aid in the capture, to the contrary he did not advise law enforcement or any government agency of this interview. He is the typical liberal mutt which we always thought he was!

"Numbers" is what distinguishes the hood from DuPage. Of course a degree of it has slithered out. Some places are worse than others. Comparing West Chicago to Clarendon Hill is stupid.

I just mentioned that the majority of the community, in the majority of the area, either likes the police, or doesn't care either way. Certainly not enough to cause emotional scenes at various crime incidents.

That was supposed to be a supportive plug for what CPD goes through.

For some reason, that idea is making some people completely unravel. Jesus christ, have a Xanax.

A previous poster is correct. You are in more danger of fellow officers and supervisors in Naperville than you are criminals. There are many confirmed incidents of P.O.'s locking up their supervisors and each other in order to stroke the higher-ups and make a name for themselves. I feel for the reasonable thinking P.O.'s out there who wouldn't pimp out a fellow officer for nonsense in order to kiss ass.

Sean Penn has an ego to match El Chapos. Don't know what his involvement was, but I'm betting he now has a target on that huge head of his.

A contact reporter is one who is in the field and has the ability to post their pieces online from the field without going thru an editor. The trib has contact reporters that come to most 041a and 0110.

I can remember back in the day when you could only have 75 hours on the books and when the year ended you lost them if you did not take them.

I had been called into the WC office and he said I had too many hours and to take the next three day off time due.

I could not pick which days off I wanted, just the next three.

So reading a publicly available legal contract and skewing the explanation of its provisions to online readers--that's what passes for journalism these days? Embarrassing.

To the unpublished moron:

Again, something the suspect AGREED TO. WE can't help it if the subject is an idiot like you.

And secondly, we already derided it as junk science and of dubious merit disallowed in most courts across the nation. So the allegation of false positives doesn't surprise us at all - in fact it proves our original points that (A) they shouldn't be allowed and (B) that you're the idiot in your assumption.

Asshat.

Don,t know SCC can tell you, but I can tell you why I do
Am also retired and it's not always about me. I do it to support the po,s that followed me on the job and to support the FOP THAT IS TRYING TO HELP THE CURRENT OFFICERS
I came on in 1965 and most po,s even some retired have no idea about the conditions then. No seniority no OT IN CASH Election Day you worked a minimum 12 hour day consiiderably longer with NO compensation. No buy outs in cash when you retire for unused CU, BFD's,V's furlough. I could go on
N and give more examples but I won't v the union has helped this job,they are not perfect but they try
That's why I keep paying my dues as a retiree and try to support them in their effect to help the current po,s
