London Fog
- Hello London? Chicago calling.
Former Chicago Police Supt. Garry McCarthy is on the short list to become the next boss of greater London’s Metropolitan Police Service, if we here at our city’s tabloid are to believe recent reports in one of the U.K.’s scrappy daily newspapers.
On our side of the pond, the general response to the stories in The Sun can be summed up like this:
Have you gone bloody mad?!
The author then lists a lot of McCompost's failures and shortcomings, some political, some police related, some completely out of his control. They do point out that the last two jobs McStreetlight had led to federal "oversight" of the Departments he ran - not a very good record.
But we can't say it's a totally unfair report.

Maybe The Sun is like London's version of The Onion. The Leek, perhaps?!
If Garry gets the gig, his theme song will be UFO's "Lights Out"
"...Lights out, lights out in London
Hold 'em tight 'til the end
God knows when I'm comin' on my run..."
He sounds like he is the Jamie Gorelick of Police Department Leadership.
Somehow his incompetence is rewarded with more prestigious jobs.
The Peter Principle is alive and well in public administration.
McCarthy deserves all the negative reports. Here's a hint, dig a little deeper to see who McCarthy is related to in Chicago and how he ended up here. Not that hard to figure out. It wasn't his police skills that got him here. At the end of the day he did exactly what he was told and that was understood from day one. Go to the Daley family on the wives side and the dots all connect!
(OT) first flaky with lawlessness now the goofy pope will be at the Mexican border causing mayhem! Come on Trump build that wall, mr pope your Catholic Church is bankrupt now your promoting more illegal activities! I will give nothing done with this, how about opening up your mansion and invite the illegals in let's see how they behave your popeness!

The good news is that the streetlights of London are probably safe from police brutality and assault.
The police over there are usually unarmed.
Just wondering If the department has posted the schedule for 2016 weapon qualification yet. I like to get it done early.
Rahm wants this blathering goof as far away as possible. Away from media, book deals, grand juries and congressional committees.
Rahm is a criminal from the Daley/Vaneko Crime Family, In an era not so long ago someone like McCarthy just disappeared or would be found in the trunk of a car.
So maybe Rahm can get McCarthy a job with the D/V Mob in Moscow. Such thing still happen there.
BTW, Is Garry collecting any kind of money from the city's taxpayers...
Golden Parachute or hush money?
I hope they hire him.
Then give him a gun and tell him all those cameras in London are spying on him.
Watch as hilarity ensues.
Oh, what the hell? Great opening salvo, then it sputtered out into a LaQuan rant.
And not even a rant about hiding the video to help Emanuel win reelection, but a rant about the total number of shots.
This was such a watered down 'opinion' piece, it was virtually worthless. What a lost opportunity to be effective.
The Brits are different. Maybe McC Poppins will be a match made in Heaven for them.

Gary Poppins. Love it. Gary McPoppin is even better.
Jolly good.
Can I work VRI if I go to London for a quick vacation? I'll gladly take the box Big Ben is in. Time and a half in pounds versus dollars? Sign me up!!!

Ain't going to happen. The utter contempt law enforcement officials in the UK have for the brutal, over gunned, US Police thugs is well known. Not sure about what the average Constable thinks. I do know that average people in parts of the UK wish they had US style policemen. Islamic gangs are out of control and they have nothing but contempt for the unarmed British policemen.
Hello Mates-Greetings from London, I'm a London Bobbie, just saw J-Fled walking his cat by Big Ben at 3am! You Blokes from Chicago sure are a strange lot!! Mcpopin was swinging a pint and eating fish and chips at the Scout Pub near Picadilly circle!!

Civilian here.
So tell us; don't tease us! Who has the time to look this s**t up?
Anyone else notice the virtual news blackout on the murder of the white 25-year-old female-without an IR#-in 012? Additionally, no mention of the white male murdered by the female savage in 020 last week. I'm certain the Levine homicide in 017 will be found to be another case of black on white crime yet these crimes get little if any media coverage. Stay fetal, and you and your families will be next.
Go back to Coney Island and enjoy a root beer.

Not really
Mr Hogan-Howe, who was recently brought into Scotland Yard as acting deputy commissioner, was appointed following an interview with the London Mayor Boris Johnson and the Home Secretary Theresa May.
He beat Tim Godwin, the acting commissioner, Sir Hugh Orde, the president of the Association of Police Officers (Acpo), and Stephen House, the chief constable of Strathclyde.
Mr Hogan-Howe was brought in as acting deputy commissioner following the resignation of commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson and assistant commissioner John Yates over the phone hacking scandal.
Prior to that he was one of Her Majesty’s Inspector of Constabulary.
Home Secretary Theresa May said: "I am delighted to announce Bernard Hogan-Howe as the new Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police.
"As you would expect for such a prestigious position, we had an exceptional field of candidates, but Bernard Hogan-Howe impressed us all with his vision for the Metropolitan Police, his commitment to cutting crime and the important work he has done for the public.

If anyone from Scotland Yard reads this blog, if you hire McCarthy you will get an arrogant, pompous, bull headed drunken Irishman, and those are his good qualities. Is that what you want?
Easy thing to do, send the link to heyjackass.com to the Londan papers and let his record speak for him.
To bad Gary looks like your failures on now on the world stage, but Gary you could always work as a security guard,or selling grape pop and flaming hots near the church you went in and talked nonsense you know with your friend at St. sabinas!
The unfortunate thing is with the road ahead of us we'll be missing him.

March 1st, prescribed plus taser recertification
Seriously, how much crime was McPoppin hiding?
As soon as he's gone the true numbers come to light.
As far as Steinberg's column, people aren't shattered by violence, they're shattered by a lack of morals, lack of family structure, and cradle to grave gov't handouts.
Garry's bucket list?
His bucket is filled with shit.
Good luck London, if he gets hired. Hope you like liars.
Didn't know where exactly to post this, but it's an interesting read:
http://www.policeone.com/patrol-issues/articles/73156006-Ferguson-consent-decree-may-be-derailed-because-of-cost?nlid=&utm_source=iContact&utm_medium=email&utm_content=TopNewsRelated1Title&utm_campaign=P1Member&cub_id=usr_07LViHO34V9cxqgw
Can't make this shit up. Went to Jackass and saw that during Daley's 22 years in office there were 14263 murders. Divide the number of murders by his 22 years in office and the answer rounded is 666. The devil is everywhere.

That is hilarious, I was at that concert at the ampitheater. 43rd and Halsted - C-ville.
Pfleger’s a thorn in the side of authority, sure, but so was Jesus."
Neil the wife beater, I don't know who is the bigger mush, you or Ffaker?
No way. McFartSparkles is related to former Mayor Mumbling idiot? LMFAO This corruption shit is really deep!
The greater London area is 30 something neighborhoods. Widely accepted as the city of London. Population in excess of 8 million people. Averaging less than 200 homicides per year. Used Wikipedia and other media sources seems to be legit numbers. No way do they want any one from here to be in charge there.
(OT) looking like grandpa chuck goudie is joining anti-police band his iteam is investigating police warrants in Chicago gone wrong tomorrow night. Have to say if you're doing anything proactive please begging you get psychological help immediately! Then the government is going after ferguson coppers again! No wonder no people are taking this job unless you absolutely cannot get any type of work!
Seems they the photo you ran a while back about soldier Field recon is being used. Saying he is a "witness to misdemeanors"

Original poster here...you, sir, know good music! Rock on \m/ \m/ !!!!!!
There is a Gary Poppins. Very successful popcorn maker. Used to date a friend of mine.
http://www.garypoppins.com
I get so sick every time I see this goof in our uniform.
If he goes to London it would be the worst thing to happen to that city since Herman Goering and the Blitz.
Now a Photoshop of McCarthy as Goering, complete with marshal's baton is something I'd like to see.
You will be sorry London!
There won't be a street lamp safe in London with Gary on the loose.
So how many pensions will this POS of shit get if he get the job, while the demorats in Illinois try to stiff me on my one pension?
At this point it does not look like there is anything Gary can't fuck up. Maybe time to leave quietly Gary...into whatever cush position is set up for you.
NOBODY's getting the London job.
The current chief, Bernard Hogan-Howe is staying put.
He got a contract extension today.
Garrrrrry will have to keep looking.

As usual SCC gets the news the department catches up months later! Hey bosses instead of worrying about attack SCC you need to follow the lead of leaders to bad SCC was not CPD Supt, or head of FOP times would be much better not like with the cowards we have leading us now!
He's a joke they will never hire him. Is he still hiding? Kicked to the point of having to wait until forever to speak out. Is he in a sro hotel? Wonder if the gold star club still talks with him? Shows you what they are made of they kicked glen Evans to the curb like the Phoenix he is rising will Gary rise or lay down silently head under feet of political masters?
