Now the Black Caucus is Pissed
- Members of the City Council’s Black Caucus threatened Thursday to withhold their votes to ratify Chicago’s next police superintendent if they’re not allowed to question all three finalists before Mayor Rahm Emanuel makes his pick.
Normally aldermen get to question and confirm the new superintendent only after the mayor makes his pick. But Ald. Roderick Sawyer (6th), chairman of the City Council’s Black Caucus, said these are not normal times.
They aren't normal? And here we were thinking it was:
- As of Thursday, 132 murders, nearly double last year;
- 111 of them unsolved;
- 32 innies and 100 outies;
And the racial breakdown as follows:
- Asian - 1
- Black - 95
- Black Hispanic - 1
- White - 6
- White Hispanic - 29
None of those numbers are "spin" - those are cold hard facts. Seems perfectly normal, but you go right on and tell us when the body count reaches "normal" there Roderick.

Mental Morons leading the parade. What the hell do these Alderman think they are doing? The world is burning and dummies want to spread the burn. All they are doing is looking to be the Clout...and to hell with innocents being killed & maimed. Get the hook. If this is how Alderman think...get rid of them...take it down from 50 Alderman to 25 Alderman. Funny as hell....all of the past Democratic foolery has come home to roost....the joke is on the Politicians. More to come if they keep going against right and taking wrong. I feel sorry for Rham....he volunteered to straighten out the finances and it is back-firing. Where are the Daley Pals when you want them.
Chicago aldercreatures are the dumbest beasts on the planet.
If Rahm wants to avoid being considered a racist. Black politicians matter.
Chicago is a liberal utopia. No mean Republicans anywhere to blame.
So why is the city so violent?
Rahm is a weasel. He will give them whatever they want as long as he gets their vote.
Huh huh, huh huh...you said "rod".
Sounds like the black caucus is smartening up. Rahm already screwed them withholding the McDonald tapes. Why should they trust the lying midget?
What is the White Caucus saying? Do they trust the little sleazebag?
I think we should base these statistics on the way the victims political preference....
And I guarantee you they were 98.6% democrats. forget about race
Rahm is beside himself...
The formerly obedient, subservient, shucky-jivey
members of the Black Caucus who used to be content
with cutting each other's hearts out through one another's
backs fighting for the crumbs Rahm let fall off his table,
are as nearly in full blown rebellion as those greedy, selfish
Cops...
Heh!
We wanna see if Rahm is going to "stick it in their ear,"
like he's doing The Police.
Wow, Rahm!
It looks like your slaves
are leaving the Chicago
Progressive Liberal Democrat plantation.
"🎶 How ya gonna keep 'em down on the farm
once they've seen gay Pareee! 🎶"
Perfect.
Rahm left standing there with a whip and having
no more willing backs to lay it on.
Bet his propeller-head polling & focus group whiz kids
NEVER saw THIS shit-show jump the curb and run their
nasty North Shore silver-spoon, crouching classist/hidden bigot
asses over.
Oh yeah...
There are those in your insular circle who say you m/fers
are lousy with entitlement, insufferable and just plain nasty
toward those who aren't you. Just like Rahm. Go figure...
Oh wait...
Rahm still has The Police to beat on and malign,
thanks to the new owners of CPD, the ACLU and #blm and the feds.
The city you see is the city THEY want.
Police like you have no friends.
No help is coming from anywhere
anytime soon...
"The Police are the problem in Chicago.
Once we fix THEM, everything else will
fall in place..."
Oh yeah?
Just y'all wait until
The 2016 Summer Kill-a-thon.
Drop a report.
Oversee the corpse removal.
Whistle for CFD to hose the
brains, blood, teeth and shit
off the sidewalk.
Sayin' nothin' to nobody
and lovin' it.
The Police
didn't break it, The Police
can't fix it.
Rollin' to the next one...
Police intentionally tied in knots
in this town so why even stress
about it?
Oh yeah...
It's fun watching Rahm's hairline slowly
burn backwards toward his ears.
someone mentioned hire all 3. I say go for it. We will give them the code name the 3 headed copper. Similar to the 3 headed monster, a term phrased for the center position of the Bulls during their 2nd dynasty. Longley, Perdue and Wennington were not that talented by themselves, but splitting the load paved way for championships. Then again Phil Jackson was a genius.
The Black Caucus - Hmmmm,, isn't THAT racist?
How come Chicago and the State do not have a White Caucus?
Sorry, but one of the first things to do is BAN any racially-based organization within a government organization.
No Black Caucus, Hispanic Caucus, Asian Caucus, etc.
Nope not "normal". Then again in the "community" what is normal??
Why is the black count so high? I don't understand. What could be causing such a high number? Did anyone study the reasons?
Those Asians are obviously out of control. You can blame their culture of hard work and emphasis on education. They're as bad as the Jews.
Your numbers are racist !
Check your privilege .
Sooooooo lets see a certain group accounts for the most crime , most murders and nobody is concerned about this Monopoly ???? Now they want to direct and decide who will lead the Police and how they will be Policed ? What could possibly go wrong here ? And of course EVERYTHING will be fair and impartial........Refer back to the giant sucking sound confirmed by multiple articles yesterday that Chiraq and Crook County had a huge population decline , the biggest in the nation....
Who the f**k do these alderperson's think they are. Now mind you, I can't stand Rahm, but last time I checked he was still the mayor of this corrupt town. F**k you Roddick. Your father was an idiot, and so are you.
Well since we all know that the next superintendent of the Chicago Police Department is going to be of African American descent regardless of qualifications, might I suggest Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr. You'd be hard pressed to find a more qualified black man than that to run this police department Rahm.
Roderick is the new normal. Lawd help us all.
The black caucus is a joke, that provides zero solutions to their constituents problems. Control of the new sup will not improve your murder counts, cause any copper with two cents rattling around his noggin knows to keep their head down in this political shit storm. What you need is control of your people.
Vote Trump. Needs to get worse before it gets better.
I was going to write something but deleted it,what a joke however in the meantime look at the stats.
Were the whites and Asian killed by people of color?

Why nothing about the IL Supreme Court ruling from yesterday?
Doesn't this decision set a precedent for our diminished benefits?? Especially the outrageous increase to retiree health care for officers who want to retire prior to 55! Family premiums went from $800/month to almost $2300/month in the last 3 years! If that's not considered in the category of "significantly diminished promised benefits" I don't know what is! This needs to be addressed quick! Because we all know 55 insurance option will gone probably on the next contract....
Those in the know, please explain.
You
3/25/2016 04:13:00 PM
Well this is simple. You were never promised (negotiated in a contract) healthcare if you retired before you at 55. Health insurance in retirement is a negotiated contract issue not a pension benefit. Nowhere in the pension code does it state you'll receive healthcare for life, therefor it can not be a "deminishment" of said benefit. The contract between the city and police and your pension are two separate items.
What is Ever "normal" in the black community?
There is such a disfunction that it spins peoples heads.
And the worst part about is that the black community thinks or feels that there is nothing wrong or don't know how to fix it; to the point that the only place anyone is placing blame is on police all over this country.
And if Rahm hadn't done what he did with the now-viral McDonald video, those black caucus members would still be out there rubber stamping everything Rahm wants, and this selection process for a new Supt. would have been over weeks ago.
The black caucus has clout. Listen to them.
Give them whatever they want. Black supt, black states attorney, and black mayor, it isn't going to make a lick of difference, but at least we won't have to listen to all the whining about how the whole world is against them.
Well, what does the "white caucas " think?
Rahm Emanuel is trying to book another Trump Rally at UIC Pav to take the heat off those inaccurate crime statistics.
We haven't heard overall "Crime is Down® "" for a while, where's the rant from the new CompStat Motormouth Defense Minster?
How can aldermen make a decision when they have no clue what a PO goes through out on the street. What they should be looking at is the generations of disrespect that the have faced the police, the very people that sit on the council have been taught to hate the police by there single parent and continue with that lack of respect today. There is no respect for law and order in the black community and therefore none should be given. Teach your children how to respect authority and than maybe you have come up with a solution to your problem until than keep killing each other and blame the police you are good at that.
Not a single Scandihoovian! Alright!
Let's see....Cline is good buddies with Sneed and Cline has always had a personal grudge against Williams. Not too hard to figure out who planted these stories. Everyone can't be Cline's patsy.
solution: too many Alderman cut the city council down to 3 elected alderman from three areas of the city: North, West, and South sides!
How many of these are police shootings ? Isn't that why we are looking for a new superintendent? You know accountability to the community and all that. Nothing funnier or sadder than a black politician, pontificating on how everyone else is responsible for what happens in his backyard.
Even talking to my Brothers In Blue, who,happen to be Black I hear the total denial about Obama and brainwashing from the constant barrage of nonsense they hear on the Black Radio Stations and in Black Churches. Guys I Love You but you are being played.
Just another bunch of crazy liberal idiots! Black caucus,latino caucus, not racist but man if you said "White caucus" the media would fly with that the white guilt morons would chime in also, they chime in because they don't live near this crime infested city, they have no idea how a thug acts. We have balck history month, black beauty contests,black tv channels enough of the racism, strangely aldermen answer this question why is it 99% of lawyers representing your people are shall i say it "white?" Or why is it many doctors 90+ percent are "non-black!" You talk a stupid game, why not support your professionals? Your really getting on people that pay taxes last nerve!
lastly no matter who the boss is do you really believe in your fantasy world coppers would ever again jeopardize themselves? Here you go so far:
*ipra reopening "selected" closed shooting cases on chicago officers (If you have clout don't worry you will be ok"
*DOJ everywhere
*Insane retired black coppers stirring the pot
*IAD beefed up
*Media digging up ever squirrel hole
*Rahm and you yes you aldermen throwing police into the mixer to try and indict them
Much more that is just for openers and you want us to be proactive now that-hilarious, how about aldermen experiment you all have aldermatic gold badges, you could partner up with our gold badge club and show the "community" your shiny gold badges and let us see how we are supposed to interact with the mayhem induced "your peoples!"
whats innies and outies?
Since they can't shake the candidates down for money, err campaign contributions, what do they want to coerce from them?
Believe I just heard now on news radio that police are asking CTU not to hold their protest-everything demonstration April 1. (From the list of groups we saw involved, it's far beyond being a "teacher's strike")
Considering the terrible attacks in Brussels and the threat of more, it probably never entered the minds of the me-me-me crowd that limited police manpower could be better utilized patrolling public transportation, key points, etc. rather than having to drag a bunch of screaming meemies off the expressway again...
Inside info, NONE of the three are being selected.
Let ALL the AlderCreatures participate. Don't slight the other AlderCreatures in order to cater to the #blm crowd since the only number they "lead" is the body count. ,Don't give these poochies any more than they're due. They already have inflated egos & have inflated AlderCreatures such as jason ervin.
Maybe the candidates will withdraw after they have to deal with the 50 thieves.
Oops. My bad. Now it seems to be that BRUSSELS police asked people not to hold huge solidarity rallies in the streets tomorrow, due to the danger to large crowds of people-cum-targets for possible further attacks. A sad situation.
Not that the CTU bunch won't have the same effect on manpower, as far as it goes.
I think it's funny that the biggest "victims" of racism are the biggest haters and racisists themselves.
What does the white caucus think?
I am White... and I am VERY PISSED OFF!
... BUT I do caucus at my favorite bar AND
... I do VOTE.!
In the past 2 weeks at least 3 police officers have been shot, 3 police officers have been shot at with none of these 3 returning fire, one attacked with a baseball bat and absolutely no outrage from the public, politicians, or our paid representatives in our union. Hello Fop anyone home? Time to get up and make yourself heard. We have been hearing you like to work behind the scenes. Do you see where that method has gotten us. We are being treated like dogs. Why don't you call a press conference and inform the public it is illegal to resist arrest. Everyone of these so called controversial encounters with the police involved an active resister and could have been avoided if they did not resist. Inform the public that crime is up because police are second guessing themselves on what is allowed and what isn't. Inform the public we will not tolerate hate against our members. We will not tolerate violence against our members. Simply put Fop needs to stand up for its members. Fop shouldn't have to be told to do this, it should be a natural reaction, but not with this regime. Completely, Utterly Embarrassing!
If there was a white caucus it would be racist. Blacks in this city are allowed to do any say anything without it being racist. Give them what they want African American leadership throughout see how that works out.
Few of the so called BLACK caucus has very little pull in City hall.
They have been decimated by indictment Jackson & Caruthers and just plain out losing elections.
Go through all the Alderman and you will notice NONE had any thriving business before they became clouted.
Do you actually think BURKES a genius and his so called law firm/tax rebate are top notch lawyers. (pssst its legal bribes!)
So RAHM give the caucus a taste of the OBAMA museum to settle them down. Sad to see when a white priest who pretends to be black has more juice then the whole caucus.
Forget the most qualified. We must pick out a super. according to race. How has that worked out for the CTA, CTU, and CFD?
To 11:52. Belly buttons.
Instead of the Black Caucus being pissed about not getting a chance to interview the 3 candidates for Supt., maybe they should take a look at a recent episode of Viceland that aired about Chicago: https://www.viceland.com/en_us/video/chicago-with-chief-keef-vic-mensa/56eaf1aadc91bcdc794cebb6?playlist=3 and see if they shouldn't be more concerned with the mindset of many people under 25 who live in Engelwood and also the veneration of people like Chief Keef and his ilk. Some goof from U of C babbles about the "commodification of violence" and there's a 1 sentence reference to "reform from within," yet, many comments about distrust of the police. Right, because the police are the problem.

Cline is still pissed bout losing the hot dog eating contest to Williams back in the 80s in 010.
The only solution is to raise the rents or demolish the buildings on the south and west sides, forcing the inhabitants to leave Chicago.
Redevelop these areas with an eye towards attracting tech savvy, blue state professional types and wealthy homosexuals.
Think marinas, restaurants, bars, boutiques.
Of course, this is just a pipe dream. Rahm has EXEMPTED these areas from the big property tax increase in order to keep his plantation running.
It is funny to see his straw bosses on the "black caucus" revolt though.
u will all bow & prostrate yourselves in proper Humility to you magnificent, conquering OVERLORDS the "City Council’s Black Caucus"
Every one of those victims was of the same race - the human race.
if they didn't need your tax dollars to accomplish "social justice" all you yt'z & especially all you AZNs wudda had your ass shit-kicked outta Chiconga years ago
People's Heroic council should pass a law seizing all your property, $$$ & any other assets (like good looking wives & daughters) & then run you outta town on a rail....that B social justice in a social fascist town alright
Hey!

You know... Since everybody is up their own ass
About making the "old" Police go away for some
odd reason.
Maybe the Foo-Boo Police would do those accursed,
Full of trick baggery ISRs in the mass quantities that
the gold star gumps are crying, yelling and threatening

No problem.

You should know the answer already...
It'll be funny watching you chumps trying

"da communerty" for anything.
Respond.

Watch the hose down.

Let's see....Cline is good buddies with Sneed and Cline has always had a personal grudge against Williams. Not too hard to figure out who planted these stories. Everyone can't be Cline's patsy.
Cline's patsy.... Patsy Cline.....coincidence or something more?!
Where are the Daley Pals when you want them??? Watching and laughing their asses off!!!
What had happened was................
Well boys and girls I just turned in my radio and stun gun when I checked off. For every box on the sheet I proudly entered a big fat ZERO... 2 reports, 2 personals and a 30 min lunch which I stayed down til my food hit the table. For the trolls, this is what you get. This is what I'm going to do til I retire. I can give a shit if my LT cries about ISR's or parkers or whatever. I'm glad I get direct deposit because if I had to pick up a check, I'd have to wear a mask because I'd feel like I'm stealing... $$$$$$$$$$

Somebody needs to tell Foxx and Preckwinkle that those stats are a pretty solid reason that so many "black and brown" prisoners occupy Cook County Jail.
Gene Williams handing out the answers to the lieutenants test to his pals is an open "secret" How many Alder-thieves and holy reverend's side girlfriends passed with those answers? The work a day Dets and P.O.s know who the able bosses are and the ladies topping that list ain't them. This city has never had a legitimate promotional test and never will. But the Feds. won't touch it because the Obama family is right in the middle of it.

Have the A.C.L.U., the local news networks, and the Sun Times pick the new superintendent.
They are running this Police Dept.
Let them pick it's new figure head.
The Aldercreatures are just beating their collective chests because Rahm is at a weak point.
A year ago they would have been sitting on their hands waiting for marching orders.

Understand before you type. The court said they cannot be diminished not impaired BUT can be altered through collective bargaining...........So if the union agrees to it then it would be CONTRACTUALLY enforceable just like 55 and out can not be taken away from those who retire before June 17. Its a contract
Eddie Johnson is a great great pick!!!
Just announced. Eddie Johnson as the next Supt. Things may be looking up for us. Way better than the other 3.
The Sun-Times is reporting Rahm went against the grain and is naming Eddie Johnson as Supt.
Eddie Johnson new Superintendent.
Eddie Johnson picked as supt. Awesome, a great guy and cares about the job and people, not skin color. Love the pick!
Eddie Johnson!
If it's true we lucked out
http://chicago.suntimes.com/news/rahm-emanuel-surprise-chicago-police-superintendent-choice-eddie-johnson-fallout-over-laquan-mcdonald-killing/
None of the three will be chosen. Wait till you see what is coming.
If the pic by Emanuel is Eddie Johnson it means two things--one, that this city is not going to be held hostage by Aldermen and Ministers and two, from not knowing him personally, just from reading here, Officer Johnson sounds like the right selection. God help us, the CPD, Citizens and Tourists needs Rham to get it right. This might be the best step forward.

I may be fetal, but I still have a pulse.

Channel 5 news at 10:00 is reporting that Rahm didn't pick any of the three and is instead choosing Eddie Johnson as Supt
These caucuses are giving Rahm fits.
I told u earlier in the day none of the three and u didn't publish. Insignificant blog.
WGN TV news reported that Rahm rejected the current 3 candidates and Eddie Johnson has been selected, according to their sources.

Eddie Johnson or George S Patton as long as Rahm is mayor we are fucked.
Now if Trump is elected, and brings in a big bunch of Federal auditors and investigates the books, WHOOOOO then we got a real chance.
I have been watching the CNN series Race for the White House. Excellent program and it exposed a lot of the dirty tricks used behind the scenes by famous politicians many thought were shining examples of honesty and integrity.
The best thing that Trump could do is to have Poll Watchers/Investigators in every prescient to prevent Zombie Apocalypse Voting.
Great pick!
You can call me Ray or you can call me Jay but you doesn't have to call me Johnson--------Just call me Superintendent. To all the he's a great guy scribe's out there. No matter who he is they are all yes men to the mayor,reverends,aclu,and any political hack that calls on him. Get over the he's a great boss stuff.Continue to drive around and answer the calls. Do as little a possible to get by and go home safe.When some of these field bosses get caught up in the Justice dept findings and the reopening of shootings from ipra maybe then things will change.
Good now Saadia can sit her over manipulatives ass down and gene Williams can retire
Fucking cheaters.
Hey asshole. Once you retire you are not under any contract. You are no longer an employee. No more rules, suspensions or anyone telling you what to do. The pension is your contract you have fulfilled it and they are required NOT TO DIMINISH IT says the state Supreme Court. Learn how to read, fool! FOP does not negotiate and has no power to negotiate for the retirees that's why they had to hire their own law firm to defend the current code. Once you retire you got itL. Now if the politicians and the unions can agree to change the pension for you youngen who have not yet retired they will fuck you good. They did on Social Security thanks to the Democrates. Who saved social security for them selves by the way so guys like Daley, Durbin, Madigan, Cullerton will get both Social Security and government pensions and in some case 2 and 3 pensions like Lil Richie is getting now and Dickie Durbin the Turban and his wife are collecting over 50,000 a year in Social Security, right now as they both collect full pay checks. Him from the senate and her from a lobbying business that should be illegal for obvious reasons.

First, there is nothing to substantiate the original commenters statement.
Secondly, the person may be a troll but actually is not stupid because the key reference has to do with retired P.O's.
You missed the point, which would be going FORWARD.
Currently there are two classes of retired officers with regards to COLA. Those of us who were born prior to 01 Jan 1955 and receive a 3% non-compounded COLA.
Those born after that date, though retired in good standing, DO NOT receive a COLA.
For them to get a COLA, Springfield has to vote it into law.
Therefore, the only way rahm could be involved in that process, would be only be through lobbying efforts. Doubtful that he would have success in that endeavor, given the current state of affairs in Illinois.
Do your homework before you give a lecture.

Think "production." Think "creation of wealth." Otherwise, where will the money come from to be spent in such places?
The world cannot survive solely on real estate speculation.
The white caucus is dealing with serious issues in Chicago, like banning chewing tobacco in sports fields.
Rahm really showed the Latinos that they don't mean shit in this city!
Officers born after 01 JAN 1955 receive a COLA! It is 1.5% per year starting at age 60. It lasts for 20 years. Do your homework before giving a lecture you moron.

You are correct that after age SIXTY he would get 1.5% after having been retired for TEN years versus the full 3% he would have been eligible for had he been born before 1955. My partner retired at the age of 50. Do the math of not receiving 3% for ten years versus starting at 1.5% 10 years later. You seem to have missed my argument. For what it's worth, I don,t stoop to the juvenile name calling that you have done in your two posts. I hope you are as happy with your 1.5% as I am with my 3%. Again, you missed the whole point of my comment. Maybe a English comprehension 100 class is in order for you?
Rahm , when will you save tax payers some money . Divide city into four areas divided equally with population , new election 3 alderman per area , if necessary , you are tie breaker . City would save $38,000,000 the first year . Inspector General & Feds could really investigate corrupt alderman . It is time for an efficient city government . Citizens will respect you for this change .
Good pick in the new Superintendent .

Sorry to disagree who heads the fire department? Enough said, and now that ed is next the "blacks" cannot say anything, lets hope Ed puts these cowards in their places! Maybe just maybe CPD can be respected again, it starts at the top, rahm show us you care fully fund the police pension now,and if the teachers strike no loss start interviewing all new, and have them pay at least what we pay into our pensions they have been getting away with this for years! CPS 70-100K part time jobs!

You can call me Ray or you can call me Jay but you doesn't have to call me Johnson--------Just call me Superintendent. To all the he's a great guy scribe's out there. No matter who he is they are all yes men to the mayor,reverends,aclu,and any political hack that calls on him. Get over the he's a great boss stuff.Continue to drive around and answer the calls. Do as little a possible to get by and go home safe.When some of these field bosses get caught up in the Justice dept findings and the reopening of shootings from ipra maybe then things will change.

To the guy commenting on COLA-read your original post. You stated that persons born after 1955 did not receive a COLA. YOU ARE WRONG. Also, I was born before 01JAN55 and I am receiving a 3% cola as a current retiree. You're the one who lacks reading comprehension skills. Stop spreading false information to the current officers OTJ.

I'm done with this guy above but it is he who is misinforming current active members.
Easy peasy: Type into Google "chicago police pension cola" and at the top of your research page is retired members-chipabf,org which takes you to The Police men's Annuity and Benefit Fund of Chicago home page.
Scroll down to the 6t paragraph titled COLA.
It reads, "As required by statute, a cost of living for eligible retired employees will be reflected in the annuity payment, ..........................................." These increases pertain only to retired employees, born before 1/1/1955, who have attained age 55 or over and have been retired for at least 13 months.
It's in BLACK and WHITE, straight from the Annuity Fund.
We who have retired who were born before 1/1/1955 get 3% COLA.
Those born after that date do not get a COLA until they attain the age of 60 and then it is only 1.5%.
And if you don't want to Google it yourself, just phone the Annuity Fund or the FOP.
Do not let fools who can't read simple English or research a simple subject misinform you.
Know your contract!
"The only solution is to raise the rents or demolish the buildings on the south and west sides, forcing the inhabitants to leave Chicago.
Redevelop these areas with an eye towards attracting tech savvy, blue state professional types and wealthy homosexuals.
Think marinas, restaurants, bars, boutiques.
Of course, this is just a pipe dream. Rahm has EXEMPTED these areas from the big property tax increase in order to keep his plantation running.
It is funny to see his straw bosses on the "black caucus" revolt though.

What have other areas done to deserve having Chicago's detritus foisted upon them, and would they have any say in the matter of having the thugs and parasites foisted upon them? They might not be so amenable to the plan, you know.
COLA Man, you should have read more books when you spent your career sitting in a wagon. You've done yourself a disservice. I've lost hope for you as a retiree. Its obvious you need serious help from professionals. Hopefully you're on medicare.
Maybe the black aldermen will ask gene williams who else cheated?
