Dean Counters
- The president of the largest Chicago police union on Thursday blasted a new report that recommends broad reforms within the department, calling the report one-sided and unfair to officers.
Dean Angelo Sr., president of the Fraternal Order of Police, said he thinks members of Mayor Rahm Emanuel's hand-picked Police Accountability Task Force made up their minds about police before studying the issues. The report, written in occasionally scalding language, cites statistics and historic events as it calls out the department for alleged racial bias and indifference to the problems of residents.
[...] "I believe they had an agenda or a built-in bias going in," Angelo said. "And I don't see the need to do that when the Department of Justice are the subject matter experts, not the task force."
"subject matter experts"? Was that a zinger thrown in at new supernintendo Eddie Johnson, the crooked lieutenants test and the largish number of Subject Matter Experts who have sexual relationships with a sizable portion of the "top score" promotees? If so, nice one Deano!
- The report, which encourages the dismantling and replacement of the city's police oversight agency, focuses heavily on changes that could be made to union contracts. Those suggested changes include allowing anonymous complaints against officers and removing the right of police to amend their statements after reviewing video or audio recordings during the investigative process, according to the report.
Aha, here we go. Let's strip away contract protections. You know, those things that guarantee officers due process and Rights and protections to politically charged prosecutions, and make it so difficult to railroad cops for political reasons.
In this second article Dean points out that you haven't seen the worst of the ACLU effect yet:
In this second article Dean points out that you haven't seen the worst of the ACLU effect yet:
- A “biased” report that portrays the Chicago Police Department as racist will cause already low police morale to take another nosedive, the police union president said Thursday.
Dean Angelo, president of the Fraternal Order of Police, also ruled out immediate changes to a collective bargaining agreement that a mayoral task force says turns a “code of silence into official policy.”
Yeah, smart move there Dean, as you'd be out of office by the close of business the following day and the FOP would be disbanded by the following week.
He also counters the Task Force's blaming the Collective Bargaining Agreement:
He also counters the Task Force's blaming the Collective Bargaining Agreement:
- On Thursday, Angelo made it clear that changes to the disciplinary process won’t come without a fight. He dismissed anonymous complaints as “generally baseless.”
“Our contract protects all of our members and secures just cause in the process of discipline and separation and any other type of internal or external allegations. Those protections are there because of abuse that has occurred in the past discipline-wise,” he said.
“Affidavits are there to protect officers from unfounded or just arbitrary allegations. If you and I are working in a gang-infested area and we’re constantly locking people up for narcotics and guns and confiscating money, their way to get back at you is to complain. If you don’t have a process in place where you have to identify yourself and actively participate in allegations you’re making against an officer, you could just speed-dial complaint after complaint to IPRA. You could complain nonstop.”
As for the rule giving officers 24 hours before they have to give a statement about a shooting, Angelo said it’s not unusual. He noted the federal government has a 72-hour time-out for officers involved in shootings. Other big-city police departments have a 48-hour waiting period.
And giving credit where credit is due, Dean even addressed the elephant in the room:
- “If you look at crimes and murders, gun, narcotics and homicide arrests ward by ward, the top 10 wards in the city are over 80 percent African-American. That’s where the officers are assigned and that’s where more contact occurs. Officers aren’t responding to neighborhoods of color. They’re responding to neighborhoods of crime.”
So when the Department of Justice concludes that the CPD deployment into areas where the violent crime is centralized is found to be sound policing, are the men and women of the CPD going to get an apology from these jagoffs painting us all with the broad brush of "racist!"?

Thank God he's in charge and not Shields or Dougherty.
Finally! Thank you to the FOP Board of Directors and to Dean who is finally listening to advice. Election is less than a year away.
There was a time when the "blue flu" would strike the city or a "ticket blitz" would overload the system. Now it is being "fetal". The city and its citizens will pay dearly for overly bashing the CPD/officers. Sadly there is no turning back. Crime will escalate and homicides will pile up. Aside from answering calls, proactive policing is dead in Chicago. And the cancer that started it all was Rahm and his backroom deal to pay off a non-existent family, suddenly coming out of the woodwork, and a failure to discipline and maybe fire a cop, in an effort to get re-elected. But it is all the fault of the CPD, not.
Rahm fucked up and in so doing so fucked every citizen and cop from here on out.
I scanned over the complete report ,
which is quite the work of fiction.
On thing that's sticks out that
Most of the recommendations will
all rewuire huge amounts of money,
which we all know, won't happen being
That the city is broke.
Time for job actions and not talk. Everyone else protests why should'nt the police. Protests at the Hall, Daley Center, news stations, newspapers, all tourist venues, hotels, conventions community policing events etc. Show up wherever the political hacks make appearances and take cell phone pictures of them. Fight fire with fire.
About fucking time this overpaid asshole says something. Now trying moving your suck on the regular. And of course Tom the ham is wherever a camera is. Delegate to this dumbfuck every once and a while if you don't want to speak publicly for the members, Dean. Most worthless bunch of union leadership yet!
Time to get a private attorney on retainer just in case they take aim at you.
The cop haters have all the money and power behind them. Gotta be ready to fight back.
Their existence, livelihoods and the fruits of their efforts come from the actions of cops so make yourself as inactive and as invisible as possible. They will start complaining that the cops aren't doing enough but don't let em fool you, that's just bait to try and get cops to go back to proactive policing and as soon as that happens the complaints and lawsuits will go through the roof again. These mfers don't deserve anything from the cops.
Good rebuttal. Unfortunately the FOP speaks to the truth and fact. The committee isn't interested in truth and fact. They have their political orders and their agenda.
You could just abandon those areas.
Ask the French and Belgians how their No Go zones are working for them.
It's not like the criminals would ever come to your neighborhood.
The Mayor lowered the city by calling all the Police racist!! He is now trying to divide us with hateful lies!!! Hateful words Rahm...
"just speed-dial complaints....dial 711 for quick connection, no ID or proof required"......yeah right
"Dean Counters"
Huh? Counter?
With what?
Dean clings to the Queensberry Rules
while Rahm (and everybody else) tees off with nut shots,
toe stomps, wet willies, gouging and biting.
"NYAAHAHAHA! Rules don't apply to me!"
>Kick! Stomp! Chomp!<
"Oh! You Cops have to be good sports
and fight fair because the rules say you have to!"
FOP should have been skinning alive selected members of local
media and elected officialdom (and others) like the stinking
weasels they are.
For FOP to be properly feared
and respected, many have said
the following are needed:
Outside counsel with no ties to
this city.
A corp of P.I's employed to joyously
rifle the panty drawers of the hateful
opposition and leaving the contents displayed
sunny-side up for proper public scrutiny and the like.
That goes for these wretched bosses too.
Can you imagine certain select members of local media
and elected officialdom running into lamp posts
and tripping over fire hydrants because for the first time
in their miserable lives, they're looking over their shoulders
with care and concern?
"Shit! Who said fucking with The Cops was such a good idea?"
>Stumble! KLONGGG!<
Nothing says we SHOULDN'T be able to punch back.
You know... Manila envelopes full of incriminating
pictures and documents ending up in the hands
of investigative authorities, professional guilds,
licensing bodies, bosses, spouses, side-pieces etc...
Reading about the right m/fers jumping out of windows
and biting bullets will be just the thing to make
"The Agenda" jump the rails and cause put-upon Policemen
to grin like Christmas Mornin'.
(Watch the joyful haters sue for peace and a grudging detente.)
See to your own glass house before you
happily throw stones.
"WAH! Cops fightin' dirty!"
Rahm gave Dean permission to express
an opinion. Nothing more, nothing less.
Dean Angelo puts up a fight against the
outrages of Rahm, the media, phony clergy
and elected officialdom with the vigor
of one of those inflatable Bozo Bop-Bags
from back in the day.
Care to show the membership what kind of
bark and bite you have, Doctuh Dean?
Or has it been that long since you've
had to go into "Monster Mode" to protect anything?
You don't act like a Cop.
You act more like schoolmarm.
Your full frontal embrace of Rahm
was/is an act of treachery.
Most of us are made of sterner stuff.
When the devil tries to embrace you,
you bite his fucking nose off.
Right?
Oh yeah...
There's STILL that deafening silence
about the Morale Survey commissioned by j-Fled.
The news can't possibly be THAT bad.
Right?
If the Department is racist than it comes for the Mayor, he is in charge!! I just hope all the goofs who voted for him are happy. I feel so not appreciated!!
Sorry to hear our new Superintendent is in charge of a bunch of racist Police Officers.
I have been called a lot of things but never have I felt so disrespected by my own city!!!!!
Like the Phil Collins song goes, "I don't care any more". That's where I'm at......
Officers aren’t responding to neighborhoods of color. They’re responding to neighborhoods of crime.
I'm calling this now. The papers will not interpret this as intended, as meaning a focus on crime is incidentally in minority neighborhoods.
They will read it as alleging minority neighborhoods as naturally being neighborhoods of crime. Might even be a headline. Might even be regarded as proof of the report thesis. You gotta know how they think to do that job, Dean.
to be fair here SCC I think Angelos response was actually pretty good. I liked that he stuck to his guns and said absolutely nothing will be touched in the contract until it expires. He also said that if the city thinks its just gonna change things come negotiations they are crazy and that they will have to give us something in return. Listen, with all that is going on right now I think its safe to say that disciplinary guidelines, procedures and investigations all are going to change either way... Might as well get something for those inevitable changes. pretty much he told the panel, the city, protesters and anyone else to go shit in their hat... I dont approve of much of what angelo does but this time he did pretty good... Now he just needs to keep going harder
Makes you really want to go out there and work. I wonder what the summer is gonna look like here in Chicago. Stay fetal!
"Officers aren’t responding to neighborhoods of color. They’re responding to neighborhoods of crime.”
A standing ovation for this comment by Dean. Not to take away from SCC, it's obviously been covered here everytime, but I'm glad he put it out there. In the politicians faces.
Rahm's task force was set up by him to defend his job as mayor. It takes the spotlight off of him and throws Cpd under the bus. He knew the outcome of the report on 01 Dec 15 and he couldn't be happier. He's resting easy now that he has black lies matter off his back.
Rahm's police task force needs to apologize for calling an entire police department racist. It's incendiary, divisive, and makes cops targets. I read the report and the stats reflect Chicago's criminal element. There is nothing pointing to racism in the report. It's defamatory and criminal. It's an outrage.
covers up laquan mcdonald, invests zero money in poor black areas, closes schools, hides crimes stats. There ain't enough graves in the cemetery to get enough votes this time around.
Let me guess.. Just before election time Rahm's task force is going to say the racist police department is fixed and all better now thanks to the efforts of the task force. We deserve better than this. #NeverRahm
I would only wish all officers read through the lines when they go out doing proactive work, they will hang u, it's a witch hunt, and they could word it however but we all know the real truth here behind taking cops down for doing there jobs that many will never do it cause they are gutless and have no courage to do it! The Devils working overtime be safe out there folks....
This report is nothing more than a Rahm sanctioned hit job to try and bust our union up! Rahm then will have our salaries and benefits reduced, while more responsibilites are put on the Officers! This city and police dept. really sucks!
The one thing that made me kinda shake my head was true chair warmers wanting to change an officers ability to revise his statement after review of any video ... I wasn't a cop but I was a state corrections officerabd I know after rolling around on the floor 28th some in read welfare span its surprising how different what really hapoened than what you thought happened
Game over
Oh and one more thing if these liberal idiots are so concerned about gun violence rather than blaming the NRA and Republicans who near as I can figure ain't killing anyone they need to ban democrats from owning guns and anything sharp cause correct me if I'm wrong most of the chalk outlines are showing up in places that have been run by democrats for decades and are being created by the demographics who only vote democrat
Well written SCC. I'm very glad Dean stepped up. Jimmy Ade from the Sgt's union already denounced this hatchet job report also. I would like to see at least a preliminary report by the DOJ that counters some of this witch hunt report. We'll see. I watch Chicago Tonight last night and it turned my stomach, especially Ricky Wooten. F-ing slime ball retiree, pandering charlatan, scumbag. And Lightfoot has aspirations, mark my words. To the guys and girls out there that have to be out there. Do your job, watch your backs and don't take unnecessary risks. Can't wait till I can retire.
So give their community the type of policing they want. Return the extra manpower back to those districts that want proper service. (016 surely needs to be returned to full strength.)

The city is Not broke.
Rahm spends money where I wants to spend money.
If Dean has any inkling of running again -
He Needs to Step Up and make a statement EVERYTIME something negative is said about the rank and file.
EVERYTIME!
Nice job shorty.
Just remember that Lori was in charge of OPS years back and there was nothing out of her then about racism. Now all of a sudden she raises her head and says that its full of it. I thought Hiram was on the task force board but I didn't see his name in the credits. Anyone know?
As a fan of this website with no police affiliations, your union spokesperson and leadership sucks. What a whimper and a day late. If Karen Lewis headed your union, she would have mobilized ahead of that bogus report and how the local and national media presented it. BTW, I really, really dislike Karen Lewis.
If fact, any organization would have been prepared and countered the B.S. of that report ahead of time. BLM and every other leftist organization would have had a strong and forceful response. As biased as our media are, they wouldn't have been able to throw you under the bus so easily.
God help you without a strong union voice.
Here comes a warm weekend.
After this report was released, I will bet good money on neighborhoods
being a battle zone.
Lightfoot was on WGN this morning. Just like McCarthy use to do making media
rounds.
It's the police officers fault. Not one word about reductions in man power.
closing detective areas or use of overtime to control the crime in Chiraq.
Not one word on crimes being caused by criminals.
I am a racist after working 27 years in the hood. By the way I am Hispanic born
and raised in Chicago. Thanks
Why not dump HQ desk dollies into Homan square?
Since We seem to have torture racks and waterboarding stations at the dark sight.
Lets put community police (CAPS)in homan square so they are closer to the problem.
You see how quickly nobody that is an exempt with a fake degree chirp about that.
Cmon EDDIE you have been a white shirt along time and now you have NO real ideas? Tell everyone you were an awesome SGT in A4 violent crimes. Some of the greatest minds have been white shirts their Cline JR, Little Dee_vine and sticky finger Pallohusky.
SUSPENDED CASE...
Just answer your calls and nothing else and collect your pay check. Anyone who does more than that, your on your own and don't cry to anyone when the shit hits the fan for you.
City council takes notice :
http://www.nbcchicago.com/blogs/ward-room/Proposal-Would-Arm-Aviation-Police-Officers-at-Chicagos-Airports.html
The police are the premier paramilitary and armed organization here. Whats to stop the police from arresting the entire city council, 9.5 included, for any number of serious crimes that they have or have not committed? I'm sure witnesses to their criminal acts can be found, (wink wink). The city government are all commies anyhow, so show them soviet style law and order. A nice Maricopa county style tent facility on the lakefront for their incarceration would be in order.
Since we're panting with broad brushes and declaring all police officers are racists, let's not forget to label all the other groups in the city.
All blacks are criminals.
All Hispanics are illegals.
All Arabs are terrorists.
All Asians are bad drivers.
All Polish are dim.
All Irish are drunks.
All fireman are lazy.
All politicians are crooks.
All ministers are hustlers.
All members of appointed task forces are political creatures and beholden to their master.
See how this game works?
I'm sure I missed a few...
time to dust off those boxing gloves deano! make you you punch rahmbo a few times !!!!
Do anything, say anything and blame everything, except the elephant in the room. The problem is the streets, it's guns, it's the police, its no jobs, no education, not enough gimme gimme gimme. Its never liberal democrat minorities!
Everything is going to hell all over the world. Democrats have been in control going on 8 years, now they want to solve problems they've created. Russian warplanes now buzz American warships!
This is liberal democrat party leadership. Think! Dean did make some good points. Criminals should be afraid, not the CPD!
Neighborhoods of crime should not be supported by any political party.
Stay safe Gentlemen.
J.J.
About time. He needs to be responding day after day, every news cycle, every story non stop.
You da man Deano.
Maybe the F.O.P. should hire a professional P.R. Consulting Firm to attack a hit piece on its overworked members.
Tick tock boys and girls, June 2017 is coming. Might be the most contentious contract negotiation ever, it will be ugly and no doubt will go to arbitration, only good thing I see for sure coming out of it is a retro check, be safe. Be smart. Fuck city hall
80% of crime is black on black. 95% of homicides are black on black. Respect and manners start at home, don't matter if you have 1 parent or 2, and these fuckers are concerned about our contract? Fuck you
Fuck the mayor and his 50 assholes, they have fucked this city to shit!
Fuck your apologizes, troop's do nothing, let these fuck's b victim's from
there own race, they deserve it, time to leave this city! Wait until summer,
enjoy the blood on your hands(city council) and tiny dancer!
Neighborhoods of color...neighborhoods of crime. Well put. That'll give the newsies something to chew on. For a while.
Problem is, the newsies do their thing each and every day. What will Dean do to stay ahead of the power curve? There's an enormous opportunity for public education and an empty mic waiting for someone to step up.
I'll summarize the report, it's all whities fault.
Why can't the Superintendent or one of his minions voice similar objections to the Task force's report. That would go a long way to boost morale. Maybe even earn the brass a little respect.

Unfortunately, no - that's not how Rahm works. He can look to this report as proof of another "crisis" that needs immediate attention and correction, money be damned. He'll be holding up this report in one hand, while saying the city can't afford pension contributions because that money needs to go into fixing the deep-rooted racism in the department. Gotta "fix" the department and repair the city before you can give those damned racist retired cops their pension, right? And all the citizens with common sense and who see this whole thing as BS, like the VAST majority of the commenters on the media sites reporting on this piece of fiction, will have no say or representation in the decision. Because this is Rahm's Chicago.
On the flip side, maybe my neighborhood will get some of our officers back from the south and west sides...
I'm numb, I'm empty, working comatose and fetal. Too far into the game to leave or change and too long to the finish line. I joined law enforcement with a genuine desire to serve and help people who need help and protection from evil. I still feel that law enforcement is a calling, like service to our country but I have lost the will to affect some small, even temporary change or relief to those who demean and belittle me. I will continue to provide enough service to keep the checks coming but nothing more. There will be no return to proactive or even active policing. I am sure that is what the community wants. I hate it here in the ghetto but I am stuck with it for now. I will NOT become a target (literally or figuratively) because of the color of my uniform, my skin or my gender. I have had to quit drinking because it was starting to consume and control my life and it was this environment that was pushing it along. It was not tasting good any longer, just numbing me even further. My focus now is to leave with my family from this fetid and festering sewer of a city, county and state as soon as I can and never look back. Thanks for letting me bend an ear or two.
We have a guy in 009 that tells it like it is and has no problem challenging top brass and politicians, this guy has a set of balls, in fact when the DOJ came to 009 a few days ago at roll call this particular P.O put it all out there and you should have seen the face of the DOJ employee she was stunned by what is going on in the city and the department. He speaks the truth and does it pretty well, in fact the supervisors appear to be supportive of him. This guy is what our union needs somewhere, some place. P.O's are always telling him to get involved with the union because he has been a voice for all us. Just saying.
On top of this BS get ready to pay double on your proprty tax bill in the near future along with other new taxes....can't wait to leave this shit hole!
Is Richard Wooten's 15 minutes of fame up yet? Lat night's "Chicago Tonight" performance was awe-inspiring...
Time for the blue flu to hit
Could you imagine that bumbling back stabbing idiot Dougherty addressing this problem to the media.
A class action defamation law suit might be in order.
Two words. Inconvenient truth.
While I do wonder where Dean has been all this time I do appreciate him coming to our defense.
He makes quite a few solid, logical, rather obvious, points.
His points don't feed into the very obvious media anti police agenda so don't expect Dean to get a whole lot of coverage.
This city, and department, are so far gone with the current climate of anti police that I don't see either bouncing back anytime soon.
"Deano" was correct about one thing and that is: "The ACLU Effect". Apparently law enforcement was supposed to be worried about the Ferguson Effect, which was based on a faulty premise, that being:the officer acted inappropriately. The ACLU Effect is very different. The ACLU Effect will not be some staged for the Media demonstration to fit in to the next news cycle. The ACLU Effect will be subtle in execution, but vivid and ugly in results. Police Offices will now weigh every action that they take against the misguided perception that the ACLU will have in evaluating that action. Police Officers will respond differently, and they already are. The Spike in Agg. Batteries and Homicides is not some accident. Violence was reduced by Aggressive and Proactive Patrol. Now, that will rarely take place, and the officer who is willing to take those chances, will receive nothing but grief for his/her efforts. Are you willing to risk your career for some Ghetto nonsense, knowing full well that NOBODY, from the Union to the Superintendent, to the 5th Fl. does not have your back. Supt. Johnson, Please do not give one of those idiotic speeches where you talk about backing cops, when they are Right. Nobody needs that backing, it is Expected and Deserved. Will you be around and back coppers when they make a "Mistake"? That is when a Stand-Up boss is needed. Also, some of you reading this are not law enforcement, and I know you have stories of how bosses are trying to "Kill Crime" on paper. What happened at the Old Belmont & Western "D" Unit in the Koschman was not just a political anomaly. How many times before Kochman did the Medical Examiner's figures for homicide differ from CPD, with their Undetermined Cause of Death? Perhaps we should hear from them, because I have. Northside Residents who have been burglarized, and the report was taken on the phone, WITH NO FOLLOW-UP. I personally know of one case where the report was made via phone, and when the victim tried to retrieve the number for insurance purposes, it turned out there was No Report Number! The report did not exist, a specialty on the Northside, and great way to reduce crime. Never forget, you only have to answer your calls and protect each other. Before you stop that vehicle, that looks suspicious THINK: Would it appear "suspicious" to a lawyer from Hyde Park, Wilmette, or Kenilworth? If the answer is uncertain, than just let them drive by! Will you be able, to explain "suspicious" in a deposition that in no way includes, Race, Economics: or your own anecdotal "CPD Racism"? Stay Fetal, Down wit Rahm! Baby"G"
I spend most all of my time at work trying to help black people, and for that I get called a racist.
Just got word that many of the gang teams are pulling out of the west side and going back to 016,017, etc. All gang teams going back to their respective districts. Hopefully that doesn't change when the summer months arrive.
Rahm you and your hand picked band of anarchists can cruise the ghettos and prevent the violence, its funny how they threw racism against the Hispanics in there seeing how the Department is over a third Hispanic. Right comrade mayor, a big fuck you!
Has anyone observed this so called task force on the street, in the districts?
Riding with beat coppers, responding to domestics, shootings or dope calls?
Attending roll calls, interviewing coppers or district intelligence officers?
Have they observed the CPD in action patrolling 011, 015, 007 vs 001 and 018?
Do you think they may have seen all the wanted photos, officer alerts, daily bulletins depicting wanted persons or actual photos of offenders committing said offenses in the loop, el stops?
Has 1 copper had any interaction with this task force?
Or did they compile this report in the confines of 4 walls, temperature controlled and a well catered setting?
Seems to me no task force or person would be able to develope any report when important information, knowledge and data is missing..
And what important info, knowledge and data is missing you may ask?
The facts.....
WHO covered up the McDonald shooting looks like you didnt read the tasks force report just like you didnt see the Laquan video yeah right you lying thieving turd. You would call you mother a Nazi to save you skin. You are a complete failure, Bennet, Comptroller, McCarthy, all roads lead directly back to you, the head POS. YOU put a Sup. in charge that yelled and screamed at officers on a daily basis to make unwarranted stops "touch somebody" now you washing your hands of it, but sorry you hired him the bloods on you hands.
How many police vacancies did you get rid of in you budget 1400 or more now we are down about 2500. How many times did you tell the press you moved a thousand imaginary police officers to the streets with your sham press releases?
Get ready to close Michigan Ave for a heat emergency on a 70 degree day. Remember Rahm's lie about North Ave beach when the savages took over? It was McCarhty's first days in office, they both lied and continued to lie no matter how many times they were proven to be lying about so called "heat emergency" via 911 tapes. These falsies continued for the next five years now Rahm you are going to pay. People see right through your bull shit panel. Rahm you are the one who is going to be thrown under the bus its just going to cost hundreds of young black men their lives but WTF they are expendable.
LOVING FETAL , LOVING EMBRYO EVEN MORE............ After CTU debacle I would really love "Too Hot at the Beach Day" Lets all enjoy the beach on the same day during working hours "wink wink"
This so called report by this so called
blue ribbon task force is nothing but
a bunch of spin to deflect from Rahm
Emanuel's very cynical political decision
to sit on the McDonald video because he
KNEW "the community" would abandon
him and turn out for Garcia in the run-off
election.
That's why Rahm is trying to spin this as
being about an entire Police department
being "out of control" based on the actions
of a few.
All the sound and fury directed at getting the
Police "under control" when it's a certain demographic
that is self-geniciding.
The FOP should publish the photos names and backgrounds of all who were on the task force. Phil Ponce had an open forum on Chicago last night where he named and showed the members. The reason this is important is that the working officers should be aware which boards, organizations, committees, these members may represent.

Now if only the number and percentage of wounded/maimed
from the same time frame could be ascertained and posted.
Would it be safe to say that the number of law breaking
catered-to constituents who came to harm/met their doom
by Police hands, would fall into the realm of nigh near
statistical insignificance?
Or will the "agenda" allow for such?
Harpo speaks
These AH proposing these "reforms" and "transparency" have no clue what they are talking about or how things outside their mommie's basement work.
The reason that the due process protections are in the contract is not really because of the unions.
Years ago, back in the 1970's, before police unions, if a boss had a disliking towards and officer, the boss could write up and hand him a suspension with little effect recourse. Anonymous complaints were possible.
Then some officers starting taking their cases to court on due process grounds. And the departments started losing and paying out. So the discipline procedure was tightened up. Because what passed as complete, thorough investigation to the department got laughed out of court.
This racism report was written by people not only with a bias, but with a vested financial interest in promoting the the idea of racist police department to ensure easy generous civil settlements. To keep the "Ghetto Lottery" flowing.
City hall has always controlled and micro-managed the police department. The mayor and his office control the upper level command staffing. The aldermen vote on the CPD budget. They vote on the superintendent. There is a committee on the police. There is a finance committee that review every settlement made in behalf of the cpd which is then voted upon by the city council. Now they all play stupid and blame the police for doing the job that they wanted done when an incident gets out of hand. (no I do not condone lying on police reports or the excessive use of force) I was a tac Lt. in a west side district a number of years ago. I would get calls from the aldermen. Guess how many complained about the racist police? Zero. The complaints were about getting the gang-bangers, drug dealers and other thugs off the street. These were things that the community members wanted. As long as that was done they were silent. It/s amazing how they forget and change their position when the political winds shift.
A mild counter is right, SCC...
Dean always seems to find a way to
fall just short of taking an assertive
stance for the membership while
the mayor and the media are allowed
continuously and contemptuously
back-hand slap us across the mouth
without push-back or rebuttal.

Rahm's police task force needs to apologize for calling an entire police department racist. It's incendiary, divisive, and makes cops targets. I read the report and the stats reflect Chicago's criminal element. There is nothing pointing to racism in the report. It's defamatory and criminal. It's an outrage.

Agreed, if you thought summer may ignite the flame, nope think it will like a branched chain nuclear reaction as they bastardize the police even more! now in sneeds today she is saying how Tommy "puppy dog" dart is racing to release videos showing guards abusing inmates! Hey Tommy what is the upside to this? Do you want riots in the streets? Do you want even more mayhem in that pathetic way you say you manage a jail?! What is it you and rahm want? You want to gin it up to make Chicago 1968 look like childs play? Tommy you and rahm and the 50 along with toni in the sidecar are preying on people to cause mass destruction and mass chaos the blood is all over your hands as a matter of fact blood covers your entire being, you and "the crew" are constantly destroying police officers, strategically removing "law and order" from the lexicon of crook county,state of Illinois,city of shitcago!
I mean dean needs to just get in front of media and blast everyone and start pointing the blame on mayor and the citizens who blame police for their own neighborhood crap. The only racists are the ones who generalize the police. The mayor can suck a nut
Time for FOP , PBPA to campaign against ballerina and anti police alderman .
Want to change IPRA but has confidence in current administrator . WTF
Hello
Someone tell me again, tell me again how Lori Lightfoot is pro-police...
Time for job actions and not talk. Everyone else protests why should'nt the police. Protests at the Hall, Daley Center, news stations, newspapers, all tourist venues, hotels, conventions community policing events etc. Show up wherever the political hacks make appearances and take cell phone pictures of them. Fight fire with fire.
4/15/2016 12:46:00 AM
Most of us have much better things to do with our time than to go stand around annoying people by chanting. The other protesters/rioters are jobless, useless, brainless idiots with nothing better to do. I'm not even sure wtf you mean or what you think the result would be when you say we should take cell phone pictures of political hacks wherever they make appearances. It almost seems like you're mentally ill and incapable of formulating an actual coherent idea. You just wanted to say a bunch of words and see if anyone would agree. You'd probably fit in well with the other "protesters."
Rev Al couldn't say he was sorry for his backing the Ferguson thugs. Why would these folk be any different.
Shame on Hiram Grau for not having the backbone to disassociate himself from this panel. Someone who's whole career saw people taking care of him and is part of this pack of BS.
The department could discipline anyone at any time. Instead of going after "corrupt officers" who brought in their "numbers" they choose to look the other way. They also choose to protect the politically connected idiots instead of taking action. Management failed again and put in the spot we are now in.
--------------
Listen, with all that is going on right now I think its safe to say that disciplinary guidelines, procedures and investigations all are going to change either way... Might as well get something for those inevitable changes. pretty much he told the panel, the city, protesters and anyone else to go shit in their hat... I dont approve of much of what angelo does but this time he did pretty good... Now he just needs to keep going harder

Rahm's task force was set up by him to defend his job as mayor. It takes the spotlight off of him and throws Cpd under the bus. He knew the outcome of the report on 01 Dec 15 and he couldn't be happier. He's resting easy now that he has black lies matter off his back.
4/15/2016 04:06:00 AM
I wholeheartedly agree.
Rahm picked this panel and then gave them their marching orders. Of course they'd reach this conclusion.... Rahm told them to.
Now Rahm hopes that the BLM and their ilk lay off of him and direct their ire solely on "those racist police" of CPD.
Remember Rahm's mantra of never let a crisis go to waste.
In this case Rahm created the crisis and then throws the entire CPD under the bus to deflect deserved criticism away from him.
Rahm:
Karma is a motherfucker!
Just went over the Task Force report, looked at the theories, hypothesis, members,and persons interviewed. If it doesn't put everyone in a (fetal) state they are nuts. Do whats right for your own well being and your families well being. They want to impact all aspects of your job,training, interaction with the community including criminals. If charged with wrong doing they want special prosecutors for the police, they want pensions laws changed to make it easier to strip you of pension benefits. This is not to mention how they want contractual rights changed. If your not fetal remember your apt to be one of the sacrificial lambs.
Send every African American officer to the south and west sides. I guarantee the outcome will be the same. Does anyone think our brothers and sisters of color would be more lenient. It's my opinion that they would not.
Who's the real sneaky asshole here???? RAHM!!!!! Appoint a handpicked task force to blame the police department for all the problems. Hide behind them knowing it was YOU who was pulling the strings all along. Black lives matter and cpd can get Rahm out of office if we tried!!!!
I have worked almost 25 years being the police on the south and west sides doing my job to the best of my abilities and all of it in the black commuities. Working hard to get guns ,gangbangers.and.dope off the streets. Now city hall and the citizens say we are racist for doing our jobs.and paints the whole department as racist ? Well guess what Chicago ?
You get nothing from the working police now except for basic services. Thats it ! No more "proactive" policing from me. I am done. Fuck you Chicago ! Enjoy the blood bath you asked for.!! Going above and.beyond is now being racist? Go fuck yourselves. All you that voted for these liberal democrats deserve whats coming. Enjoy the shit show and.violence you assholes !!
Let's face up to certain realities, shall we? This report was total nonsense issued at the behest of the machine for purely political reasons. You would have to be VERY naive to think otherwise, or else an ideologue to the point of being a borderline sociopath.
If you don't see what Rahm is trying to do to the police department and the reverends, what you can do is let this city go down in flames, with the worst homicide rate in decades and crime rampant. I wonder how Rahm will play that one?? Be the best community officer out there and don't do anything stupid, you are being recorded. Give them what they want and enjoy the show.
Time for the union to reach out to some retirees. Retirees that are willing to counter protest without any dept retaliation.

I learned a simple method to protest. "Stay fetal my friends"
You want to get the attention of all these fucking jack-off liberal politicians, media and activists?????? Advertise there will be a "police slow down" in regards to responding to in progress calls on such and such a date. Watch Rham and every other liberal jag piss all over themselves.

I'm numb, I'm empty, working comatose and fetal. Too far into the game to leave or change and too long to the finish line. I joined law enforcement with a genuine desire to serve and help people who need help and protection from evil. I still feel that law enforcement is a calling, like service to our country but I have lost the will to affect some small, even temporary change or relief to those who demean and belittle me. I will continue to provide enough service to keep the checks coming but nothing more. There will be no return to proactive or even active policing. I am sure that is what the community wants. I hate it here in the ghetto but I am stuck with it for now. I will NOT become a target (literally or figuratively) because of the color of my uniform, my skin or my gender. I have had to quit drinking because it was starting to consume and control my life and it was this environment that was pushing it along. It was not tasting good any longer, just numbing me even further. My focus now is to leave with my family from this fetid and festering sewer of a city, county and state as soon as I can and never look back. Thanks for letting me bend an ear or two.

I hear you.
At some point in our careers, most of us have come across an abused dog who seems to have lost the will to live. Even the most loyal pup will eventually learn from continual abuse and will just curl into a nonresponsive ball. He did nothing wrong, but he's repeatedly kicked, screamed at, shunned, a target for cruelty and evil.
And, yes, they can beat the heart and soul out of us, too, with their labels of racism and their finger-pointing and their non-stop campaign of abuse. And once the media and the politicians have wrung all they can from this campaign, they'll move on, maybe kicking the carcass every once in a while, just for fun.
Seriously, anyone with less than ten years invested in this job, please re-think it. Give consideration to your mental health, economic future and personal freedom.
There is no way disabled Elmer Fudd was trying to "zing" Eddie Johnson. He's not that brave. And he's not that bright.
Forget this Mayor! I can't wait for ant election just to vote these goofs out!
The buck stops with the Mayor, if the CPD is racist than so is the Mayor. I'm very sadden to learn I work for a racist Mayor!!
This racism report was written by people not only with a bias, but with a vested financial interest in promoting the the idea of racist police department to ensure easy generous civil settlements. To keep the "Ghetto Lottery" flowing.
4/15/2016 01:02:00 PM
What I have been saying for a while now. There is a plethora of law firms in this city highly dependent on this easy money and they are squarely behind this agenda because it keeps the money rolling in. They are responsible for bankrupting the city just as much as the corporations who donate millions to the thieves in charge and get the lucrative contracts in return for their fealty.
Use some Fop cash we pay to run ads on tv , bulletin boards etc. Educate and attack this narrative
I'd still take Dougherty over these last two fucktards. First time I met Shields, I couldn't believe he was actually the police. Dean? He couldn't run my Holy Name Society. I prefer when Dean remains silent. Guess I will just have to keep waiting. . . .
I must have been out of town. When did the task force have a meeting at Brooks Park?
1000 millionaires left Chicao last year. I think there are going to be none left by the end of the year.
As a retired cop who spent his entire career in black high crime areas,I resent this accusation that we were all racist. I am getting the feeling that the task force was only talking about white officers. If you are still an active police officer in Chicago, it would be to your benefit not to believe anything the command staff tells you, such as " we have your back". Things seem to be in transition right now, the Feds investigating, a new prosecutor coming on board who seems to be a liberal hell bent on prosecuting cops, a task force that wants to gut your contract and job rights, marches, and pretty much the entire left wing out for you scalp. If I was still on the job, I would do as little as possible. I would not stop anyone or search them, I would not stop cars or chase people on foot or in a car. You just can't win today and I would want to wait until a lot more shakes out. I feel these anti police crowd are looking for someone to jam to show that they are serious .

Too bad the report didn't give the racial breakdown of offenders who murdered Chicago Police Officers Lewis, Flisk, Bailey, Soderberg, Wortham, Valadez, Taylor, and Francis. Many others, but these occurred during the last 8 years....
RIP Officers, I pray for your families who still suffer the effects of your loss.
Dean finally grew some sort of a set.
As a fan of this website with no police affiliations, your union spokesperson and leadership sucks. What a whimper and a day late. If Karen Lewis headed your union, she would have mobilized ahead of that bogus report and how the local and national media presented it. BTW, I really, really dislike Karen Lewis.
You must not be a teacher or a socialist goof follower. Let's see, instead of representing her CTU members she's too concerned with letting every liberal cause (black lives don't matter, fight for 15, fuck the police etc) glom on to her cause. She lost the last contract : longer day for teachers, less pay. Seniority or tenure. Gone. Stay 35 years til you max out as a teacher? Plus she let a police hater, Charter school non Union member grab the mic. As a husband of a CTU teacher I say you have no fucking clue what you're talking about. Teachers are worse off than cops as far as the union goes. Her and Jesse should be ashamed of themselves. But it's sad that no one can even get a decent person to run against her.
Here is a "Bombshell" to the only true source of news ****SCC****** Ready media here is your prep:
Here is the CNN investigation follow the lead:
http://www.cnn.com/2016/01/06/us/unarmed-aviation-officers-chicago-mayor/
They want DOA police armed, but as you can see edgeworth who is now gone resigned was an impediment to doing this.
Now the alderman of the black Caucus are pushing to arm them, because it is being said in "secret circles" the SEIU wants them armed or will stop donations to aldermatic campaigns! They want to "free up" the handful of trained CPD coppers at the airports for other duties according to reliable sources!
So instead of hiring this talk again! the airports are great assets that are an economic engine to the vitality of this very city, and with the situation in the world wouldn't it be better just to also keep CPD in the airports, or would they want coppers to be "mall cop" style?
Blue Flu!!
Dean, or somebody, really needs to aggressively speak for us. The same way that Milwaukee sheriff would or a Trump like person. Maybe hire a pr company that will do it
With the usual suspects pushing the same old, same old PC Lib Leftist hate the POLEEEECE, it's all "RACISM" I look for honesty in some strange places like at...
CBS Lib LBJ, Jimmy Carter assistant Bill Moyers
This is in my opinion the best ever documentary about urban reality

So I spent 30 plus years on the job as a racist cop. As I recall every victim of a black
thug that I locked up said, thank you officer. Every thug I locked up said, Fuck the police. Guess its a matter of who you ask?
Dean finally speaking up for us about time brother! What about the alderman meeting and speaking loudly about union pressure from aviation police to arm DOA coppers, and help rahm put more trained coppers at airports? How can you have officers anyway fully trained same weapons qualifications as Cpd but unarmed? What idiots signed off on this? We need more coppers at airports and everywhere we are short how many thousands on the streets?
Why can't the Superintendent or one of his minions voice similar objections to the Task force's report. That would go a long way to boost morale. Maybe even earn the brass a little respect.

They are brain dead. Think of the life span of a sup. Three years and he out and retired. Smile and weather the storm. Learn difference between right and left.
Lightfoot talked about having systems in place but not using them. Systems every boss knew about. Same bosses are our bosses now.

Deano needs to have numbers and percentages to counter this b.s. report. Those that are NOT listed in it.
How many shootings in those same seven years, by whom, what race offender/victim.
How many homicides in those same seven years, by whom, what race offender/victim.
How many calls for service by district in those same seven years.
How many recovered weapons by race/district, and on and on.
Any fool can produce a report if only taking specific data into account, leaving out other pertinent criteria.and you can bet your grandmas gold teeth that not ONE of those who authored this report ever went into any of the areas like 07, 11, 15 after dark....nor do they LIVE anywhere near where all this shit is happening.
The MSM has glommed onto this b.s. report as if it was gospel, down from the mountain itself.
Esquire magazine now has an article that really exacerbates this mess.
Stay safe, my brothers and sisters.......have a lawyer on call.....this shit is going to get 10 times worse......
This city and that rotten little phuck 9 1/2 have finally gotten the liberal, progressive city they want! God help us all.
Congrats to the new vapor k9 class.... b-safe!
Several things:
1. NEWSMEDIA: Are you reading this? Did the Medill School of Journalism dull all of your senses to the point where what you are reading on this blog page didn't hit home?
2. MEDIA PERCEPTION: Why, oh Why isn't the Orange one out on this? Can someone tell me why he is not out there on Homicides, being our face in the press? Rahm's task force was set up by him to defend his job as mayor. It takes the spotlight off of him and throws the Department under the bus. He knew the outcome of the report on 01 Dec 15 and he couldn't be happier. He's resting easy now that he has black lies matter off his back. And. The. MEDIA. Bought. It.
I disagree with other writers that Dean should be the front face. This is wrong. His job is to run the union. The union's PIO should be out there on front street. If Karen Lewis was running it she'd be ahead of it and not merely reacting. The woman is a total bitch, but she is the union's bitch.
3. SHERIFF: Thank God we don't work for this guy Dart. But then again, when the blue flu strikes over there at 26th Street (and it damned ought to) we'll likely be in there guarding Dart's "Guests".
The madness here.
The report is belittling and demeaning to our profession as a whole. Sickening
It is all coming back to bite Rahm in the ass. Second city you hit the nail on the head and Dean way to go in pointing out to the city that they can not dictate their indentured servant attitude towards us. That's why people like myself and other "old timers" fought to get that contract to protect us back then and all curren and future Chicago Police Officers. Don't give the city an inch because they will surely take a foot if you do.

Well written SCC. I'm very glad Dean stepped up. Jimmy Ade from the Sgt's union already denounced this hatchet job report also. I would like to see at least a preliminary report by the DOJ that counters some of this witch hunt report. We'll see. I watch Chicago Tonight last night and it turned my stomach, especially Ricky Wooten. F-ing slime ball retiree, pandering charlatan, scumbag. And Lightfoot has aspirations, mark my words. To the guys and girls out there that have to be out there. Do your job, watch your backs and don't take unnecessary risks. Can't wait till I can retire.

they say blaming someone else for your problems is good for your self-esteem.
and self esteem and character are two, unrelated, distinct qualities
look at the liberal black Church, when do you hear them lambasting the lack of a black family? Never .. but white cops are the problem? are you fucking kidding me?

Most of us have much better things to do with our time than to go stand around annoying people by chanting.

I'm not even sure wtf you mean or what you think the result would be when you say we should take cell phone pictures of political hacks wherever they make appearances. It almost seems like you're mentally ill and incapable of formulating an actual coherent idea. You just wanted to say a bunch of words and see if anyone would agree.

Actually its idiots like you who are mentally ill and repulsive. All the poster was saying was that its time for p/o's to start pushing back because he's sick of being persecuted. Maybe you're ok with that but I'm not. There is, in fact, no better thing to do than to fight back against the media and the politicians and if that means to do so by methods that are over the top then so be it. Its obviously ok for any other group to do it. The results are working out pretty good for them. The ACLU single handedly got the CPD to change their policy on ISRs. A message has to be sent and its not gonna be done by people like you who are content with being shit on and fucked with but you probably got a spot and its an easy gig for you and you don't wanna rock the boat. Maybe when these people realize that cops are not a group that will tolerate being treated like shit, they will change their ways and show some respect and treat cops a little better. By sitting back and doing nothing you're letting them know its ok to continue fucking with us and people like you who throw stones at other p/o's trying to make a difference are part of the problem.
