More Questions
- Top mayoral aides are holding closed-door briefings with small groups of aldermen this week to flesh out details of Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s plan to abolish the Independent Police Review Authority, but the sessions are raising more questions than they answer.
Ald. Anthony Napolitano (41st), a former Chicago Police officer-turned-firefighter, said he’s concerned about the multiple levels of oversight the mayor is planning over already wary police officers and about the criteria that would be used to serve on those boards.
“I get that we need some sort of change. But the thing that I’m worried in the end is, when you bring an independent group of people in who don’t understand the law or have no law or policing background, you’re pretty much sending ’em out there to go on kind of a witch hunt for police officers,” Napolitano said.
A witch hunt? With all of this? Proposed and in-place already?
- Napolitano said he was assured by top mayoral aides Anna Valencia and Janey Rountree that “nothing is set in stone,” but Emanuel hopes to create three independent boards to restore public confidence in investigations of excessive force and other police wrongdoing.
“Take those three, add to ’em your department. Add to ’em your IAD. Add to ’em your media. Add to ’em your ACLU. That right there is eight different levels of the onion that every officer is gonna be scrutinized on. What we’re creating is a reactive police department,” Napolitano said.
Reactive? Rahm said we were "fetal." The FBI says it's a "Ferguson effect." Our commentators have called it the "ACLU Effect." With eight levels of second-guessing going on, all with an agenda and the benefit of 20/20 hindsight, anything other than "reactive" is asking for trouble.
Napolitano even quotes actual facts - a political no-no in Rahm's world:
Napolitano even quotes actual facts - a political no-no in Rahm's world:
- “When I talk to officers, they’re saying, `We feel like the whole city is coming down on us,’ ” he said. “Fourteen hundred people shot this year alone. How many of ’em shot by police officers? Six. The numbers don’t equal properly. It’s not an officer issue.”
It never was - it was to protect Rahm's ass for his covering up of a video. But until that becomes the issue instead of the media broadcasting Rahm's agenda, "fetal" is what you're going to get.

Glad my days of this bullshit are over---- one thing no one talked about on her---- how easy it is to stay fetal in retirement
The movie Gladiator is on A&E tonight and not only does Rahm like gladiators movies but I swear to you that our sick twisted spoiled little sissy north suburban has no idea about being mayor has been ballet dancer reminds me of the treacherous fuck self loving emperors son played by Joaquin Phoenix and how this character enslaves the noble soldiers of Rome.
Well I guess what I really saying is some so rid this city of the Rahm cancer pronto,this town needs an enema
It's all liberal politics and agenda.
Just remember there's not much this city's talking heads or corrupt DC can do to us for responding to calls and taking our time writing paper.
Thanks Naps
Don't worry, soon you will all be assigned an ACLU lawyer to monitor your entire shift. She/he will download and review your entire shift from your body camera. You will be evaluated and graded by the number of perceived racist, sexist, Justice involved micro-aggressions you commit each shift, and your obvious fascist violations of the rights of the poor innocent ghetto dwellers.
Then your supervisor will review any parking and traffic stops you made, and gig you for any missed opportunities for adding additional violations and missed opportunities for maximizing "revenues" from the citizens of Chicago. This is the important part of rebuilding trust and respect in the CPD, because nothing endears the police to the average solid citizen like issuing them hundreds or thousands of dollars in tickets and fines. Just ask the fleeced and sheared citizens of Ferguson MO!
There aren't enough words to convey how relieved I am to be retired. I fear for my friends still on the job. Not fear of the streets, but from the politicians and their agenda, the clueless do-gooders and the media. Protect yourselves, everyone.
Tutu of Fire is spinning so fast
that his ass looks like the planet Saturn...
>Whizzzz! Sparkle-Spark! WHOOOMPH!<
I like Napolitano. My background is Sicilian, but I support l'uomo da Napoli.
SCC has cut through the smoke and bullshit and exposed the Reality: Rahm "Intentionally Suppressed" a police video that would have cost him his re-election bid! Van Dyke was then hidden away at Call-Back for over an entire year! When the video was exposed by court order, Rahm was Shocked and Sickened by what he saw, a year and ten days after he originally saw it when he was apparently Not sickened and shocked. As if in some performance of Theater of the Absurd, Van Dyke was then, 410 days later, Perp Walked in shackles and chains as if he was Public Enemy #1! So in an effort to protect his Political Future and Legacy, he turned the Police Department over to the Federal Government and ACLU. Remember, initially Rahm objected to the Feds coming in; but when Hillary came to town, surrounded by the mothers of thugs killed in the commission of violent crimes,Tiny Dancer changed his tune. God forbid he offend Madame Clinton. But the point is this: Every Chicago Police Officer is a pawn in Rahm's Political Game. Every Cop, even the Clouted are now quite expendable. Do not fall into their trap, do not become the Poster Boy or Girl for Bad Police. Let this treachery serve to unite us rather than to divide us. Remember, a Black cop has been sentenced to prison for slapping a piece of shit around, and another Black cop is on the launching pad. Rahm will use any cop of any color or gender as a means of staying in power. STAY FETAL, STAY FETAL, PROTECT EACH OTHER; YOU ARE ALL ALONE! Baby"G"
Lots of questions here really strange:

Restore public confidence? Is this the same public that sits patiently in front of their televisions waiting for new episodes of The Kardashians?
Bravo Ald Napolitano. It seems the 41st has a true independent thinker who is not afraid to shed some light on the dark corners of this administration.
RAHM needs the REV-run on the board. Funny thing is these clergy have high school DIplomas. It is all about the vote not justice. And these board seat will of course not be done without a paycheck!
They want officers prosecuted for not having probable cause for arrest! Just picture dope court and all those sly judge just dropping cases and then the feds WOULD FILE CHARGES AFTER A CASE WAS FOUND WITH no PROBABLE CAUSE.
The charge would be assault and unlawful restraint. Don't wait till your the test case in Chicago.
Read up on the freddie gray case.
Scc may be an article about who is on the police board now.
Look at the police being attacked by anti Americans at Trump rallies . Wake up America the illegal immigrants and living off welfare , remember the boston bombers family received welfare . Time to elect a Republican in November . Every major city run by democrats is broke , they have dollars for illegals and criminals . The money is our tax dollar .
Napolitano for Mayor.....
We'll always have idiots with no self control running and gunning on this job. They're really going to be playing with fire now though. It'll be like Russian roulette.
"..anything other than "reactive" is asking for trouble."
Ding, ding, ding.
SCC you said it all with that one sentence.
Stay fetal boys and girls.
Just remember the alternative to all this is being under Fed rule. Which makes all contracts void.
Rahm is assembling his Kangaroo Court..... all to further pander to "the community"
When is enough, enough??
Every action that Rahm continues to take that further plummets morale is all but assuring this summer could be the most violent summer this city has ever seen.
Keep it up Rahm, keep pandering.
Rahm: you're a disgusting asshole who's cutting off your nose to spite your face.
everybody with time on the job is retiring even NBC 5 News Ron Majors is out of here!
Rham with at least eleven aldermen watched the video shortly after the shooting. Herr rham and his ministers have this code of silence thing going on.
The walking man got beaten. He wouldn't press charges, thus misdemeanor at best. Bfsol at court no doubt. He is the latest "pet" the yuppies are concerned about. Reminded me of the "burlap man", Ronnie woo woo wickers and old "Johnny Bratton". And the sax player at michigan avenue bridge. Street celebrities. I guess someone got sick of seeing the walking man. I was really tired of his act, too, but I didn't have to hurt the motherfucker.
SCC I have a full proof suggestion that I have running by my fellow officers for some time now. It was said to me by a retired officer, that back in the day the mayor knew that every officer held 20-25 votes in his back pocket. simple math, lets say 10,000 officers times 25 votes (family members, friends and people who live on your block) that is 250,000 votes. now if I can extend this to our friends at the fire union, they have 5,000 members times 25 that is 125,000 votes, together that's a total of 325,000 votes. Together with our two unions we can run the City of Chicago. In the last run-off Rahm received 319,543 votes to win. numbers do not lie in this scenario, with our two unions and not to mention if we reach out to other unions who will get on board with us, we can run the tables and take over the City of Chicago.
My next thought was to extend this across Illinois to all of our Brothers and Sisters in Law Enforcement and possibly running the table and decide who we want to be Governor.
All we need is to get the ball rolling and gain a whole lot of steam and you will see the politicians start getting real nervous, it can be done. I want all members and their 25 voters to go into a master data base held at the FOP where we can send email blasts to what the truth is and a link to the SCC. One final thought if we can get our numbers into the 500,000 to 1 million range we can send an email blast out to everyone and suggest that they do not buy a paper and possibly hurt say the Sun Times (fallen star) financially.

Chuy came close to being the Mayor last year .
Rahm better reduce the aldercreatues to 10 , hire some coppers , investigate the thieves abusing the disability pension or he will be back at arbys
I've been retired for a week and a half, omg just in the nick of time.
I worry about my guys I left behind. You will always be in my thoughts and prayers.

Rahmblow Dancer is more like "Little Finger," from Game of Thrones. A self serving snake, who's only ambition is total power. Titles, lands, and an army to secure his own throne. The problem for him is that one cannot rule with Fetal troops. Wishing you nothing but pure discomfort during and after you're reign. GFY, Little Finger
I know he used to work for CPD, but at least Napolitano is pro-police. Besides him and Sposato and Oshea down in mt greenwood, no one is standing up for us. Just read ald. Arenas facebook page- he would love to see us all prosecuted( all along while he continues to sign off on sec 8. and ruin the ward).
Karma is a bitch Rahm.
Undoubtedly someday you're going to regret this over the top pandering that you're incessantly doing.
Too much is never enough, huh Rahm?
Napolitano please run for MAYOR do so before there are no Police or Fire left in this city!

I agree, why do so many coppers still stay past the especially lucrative 55 and out? Idiots say "I can make overtime" yes true but you leave tens of thousands in due pension on the table! Just wanted to say though thank you for keeping working hard more money for the smart coppers to collect early!
Gerry McCarthy will be the leader of the new version of IPRA.
1st and 16th. Take the money and run.
Stay fetal my friends, or embryonic.
Anthony is a good guy. He speaks the truth and never seems to stick his foot in his mouth or shoot himself in the foot. Keep fighting the good fight.

Ron Magers left Ch 5 in 1997.
Who will this genius mayor have investigating deaths which are the result of police conduct. IPRA does it now and that it not even in compliance with Illinois law.

Great Idea, but it will never happen because less them 50 percent of cops are registered voters. Coppers are their own worst enemies. Each and every copper should be registered to vote, but most cops are all to important to take the time and register and definatly to busy to go and vote. Until coppers stop being so self important we will never be a voting block the politicians need to worry about. Each and every copper should hold 25 votes in their back pocket, but this new generation of coppers are to worried about getting that hour on the end to go out and drink and tell the war stories, and the coppers with a some time on are all to worried about getting that extra $ 160.00 in retro pay so they can go to vegas. The last contract that was passed should have never been ratified because the rank and file should never have voted yes. But, the coppers with time on voted yes to screwing the new guys out of duty availability pay and the new guys don't even bother to vote. So until coppers learn to stand together nothing will change things will only get worst. Also , before the bashes begin, I have 20 years on the job, I voted no on the last contract and I am a registered voter.

Scc, has anyone noticed how sloppy Sheriff tommy(no tie) dart looks? I mean here is an elected sheriff who looks like a guy waiting for Rothchilds to open up for his morning 40 ounce. Never once have I seen him wear a tie or let alone a sport jacket or heaven forbid a suit and tie. What a disgrace to have him as our sheriff. I often wonder what other "Real Sheriffs" think of this idiot. Do any of the "Real Sheriffs" even think of him as a Law Enforcement Professional?
Maybe there should be a Tie & Dress shirt drive for Lil Toupee Tommy Dart.
WE all know he does not know how to present himself in a professional manner.
At least Sheahan looked presentable when on TV.
Just a thought.
Phoenix officer shot and killed by druggie burglarizing his own fathers home on May 19th.....responding officers then shot and killed offender.
Today, in PHOENIX ARIZONA, the officers funeral was broadcast on local t.v.....yep, broadcast on CBS 5 Arizona....check it out...it is also on their App....the streets were lined with thousands of Arizonans waving flags and CRYING for Officer David Glasser. He left behind a wife and 2 very young children.
So you young hard chargers might want to think about relocating somewhere where the citizens want you, need you, and sure do appreciate you. Do your 30 years somewhere else than Chiraq. The older guys/gals have too much time invested to leave, but you young ones really need to think about staying in a city where everyone from the shit for brains Mayor to the DOJ to the Feebs to the feral citizens all hate you.
Shouldn't be like that. Shouldn't be so damn stressful every day, when all you ever wanted to do was help people, have a decent life for yourself and your family, and not be seen as the evil being that the media is portraying you.
Just something to think about.
In the meantime, stay safe out there.....watch your back...protect each other, and if you find yourself involved in some real police action, know and USE your contractual rights!
Found another article about coppers scamming our pension fund what bullshit:
http://www.chipabf.org/ChicagoPolicePension/NewsLetter(PO).html
Keep doing what you are doing Naps. Thank you sir.
Remember Napolirano at election time. He was a working cop before he was a Firefighter. Recently he was shown as dead last, 50 out of 50 voting Rhams way. He is the real deal and the only true friend of the Police. A guy by the name of Tim Heneghan is running against him. Heneghan is put up by Mary O'Connor and Mulroe, both assholes who voted the way they are told. Heneghan would vote 100% with Rahm if he was in power now. We don't have many friends, but we got a great friend in Napolitano.

Because, Genius, they have taken everything into consideration. Try to imagine that everyone is in a different financial and personal situation and retiring at 55 may not be the best for them. See? Maybe they are not the idiots.
