Only 1,300 Evildoers

  • Interim Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson talked about his plans to fight crime at Friday's police graduation ceremony at Navy Pier.

    Seventy-four police recruits graduated on Friday.

    Johnson, a 27-year CPD veteran who took the helm of the embattled department last week, said his first priority is restoring public trust.

    "I never thought that the mistakes or poor judgement of a few can do so much to undermine the reputation and the integrity of so many good officers who put their lives on the line each and every day and do their jobs as professionals," Johnson told the new recruits.
Mistakes? Poor judgement? Like when 6 people with ties to IAD and Mrs. Wysinger working on the same floor of the same building all get promoted in the first class? Or the significant-others and  side-pieces of Subject Matter Experts all make the first class? Or doesn't the trust of your subordinates count for anything?
  • He encouraged recruits to do a lot of listening and treat people with respect, adding that community policing will be key.

    "It's hard to earn trust, but easy to lose it," he said. "It's even harder to get it back."
Are you even hearing the words coming out of your mouth there Ed?
  • Mayor Rahm Emanuel also attended the event, praising Johnson for his efforts.

    "It is not an accident that the superintendent comes from patrol," Emanuel said. "They are the backbone."

    More 1,300 people are responsible for a majority of the violent crime in many of Chicago's neighborhoods, and part of his plan is to identify those people and hold them accountable.

    "We know who you are, we know where you live, consider yourselves put on notice," Johnson said.
"Put on notice" because you were on Double Secret Probation! Haha!! And you didn't even know it!!! Next, if you aren't watching you step, you'll be subject to the dreaded I.S.R!!! And after that, a harshly worded letter sent to your last known address. And then, Barb West will show up at your door and tell Momma what a baaaaaed little gang banger you've been....if she can get Momma to tear herself away from the 52-inch TV you bought her.

Can you say HYPOCRITE Eddie?

Does anyone, other than the tooth fairy, really believe that Eddie is prepared to discipline his fiancé Nakia and friends for cheating their way into a promotion to Lt??

Rahm you are a blithering idiot to let this farce continue to go on.

Poor judgement Ed? Like your crew from 35th street cheating and providing answers to promotional tests. Like your crew from I.A.D. covering up their OWN investigation? You are not earning any trust from me. If those involved were blue shirts, they would have been stripped and sent to 311 pending the investigation. Oh, that's right, there was an investigation that lasted a day??? The blatant nepotism on this department is truly pathetic. 1st and 16th!!!

I hope the new lieutenants are out building public trust, after all they are the best and brightest.
I myself don't plan on hobnobbing with the locals. I'll respond when called but otherwise I'll allow the citizens to live their lives as the community wishes.

There should be a federal investigation to see if there was cheating on the promotional exam. That's horrible, and if true, a huge scandal.

Dear SCC

I am a CPD PO ( I am also an attorney), who received this request from Dorthy Brown's Office. I suppose this is so that one may expunge one's record and join the new CPD.

"Dear Attorney:

Volunteer attorneys are needed for the upcoming Second Change Expungement Summit hosted by Hon. Dorothy Brown, Clerk of the Circuit Court of Cook County.

Training courses are available and attorneys can earn MCLE credit.

Please see the flyer for more details.

Thank you for your consideration."

Bought?

This problem extends through multiple generations now, which makes the thoughtful person despair of any solution.

1300 - I can believe it. Years ago when there were 'sweeps', one Saturday AM, whatever portion of the 1300 that reside in the district I worked ALL got locked up.
You could hear a pin drop on the radio the rest of the day.

NYPD Sergeants Claim 'Widespread Cheating' On Lieutenants' Exams
Internet message boards revealed officers may have cheated on several tests


"The forum revealed officers discussing specific questions on the 2011 test, giving those taking a makeup test an inside scoop. The board was used as evidence in a lawsuit filed by nine NYPD sergeants that alleges widespread cheating on last year’s exam."

&&&&&
Actually you're wrong. He has always been in patrol. His entire career as a blue shirt was in a beat car or on tac. He made Sgt and went to a district and got a tac team. Same thing for Lt and commander etc. I'm not sure if Eddie has ever been in a unit. Maybe at one time but I can guarantee hale has spent the majority if not all of his career in patrol. Don't hate just to hate.

It's no wonder why the politicians and the media in this city love to stick it to the coppers. We know all the sins of the city, we can call bullshit from 1000 yards away and will continue to eat all the shit sandwiches they feed us.

Rules and standards are not designed for them, just us.

Do as I say, not as I do

Nothing worse than working for a hypocrites.

Ignorance and naivety must be bliss.

To bad those characteristics ain't beneficial to a cop.

Eddie may in fact be a great guy and a good cop, so I hear.

Here's your chance, address this scandal.

If not, business as usual, in 1 ear and out the other.

Just like 90 % percent of what I hear at work.

I saw an old western once, where a grizzled old sod buster walked around holding a crooked tree branch trying to 'Devine' where the underground water was. When the branch began to wiggle, he told the thirsty townsfolk to start digging. Water spouted up and they were saved! Maybe Rham could get a 'devining rod' to help him locate a new police chief.

Addie Im sure you mean well but right now these types are telling you to go fuck your self and laughing while they are doing it.

And there is a hell of a lot more then 1,300 doing it. Maybe 1,300 in one District.

I wish you well, Hell I hope they never promote from outside to run the ship again. But its obvious you didnt spend much time out there in a Beat Car. Supe's never do. And even recruits are smart enough to know it.
