COPA Funding
What could go wrong?
- Chicago’s new Civilian Office of Police Accountability will not be “starved for resources,” a top mayoral aide declared Tuesday, though he refused to be pinned down to a specific dollar amount or budget percentage.
Corporation Counsel Steve Patton also assured aldermen that the agency that replaces the Independent Police Review Authority will have authority to hire its own independent counsel.
Patton said specific language of the compromise has yet to be finalized. That’s why the City Council Committees on Budget and Public Safety took no vote on the mayor’s police accountability ordinance at Tuesday’s joint meeting.
But Patton said the final language may well involve creating a “pool” of law firms with expertise conducting police investigations that are “pre-qualified” to “meet our standards.” That way, a Law Department charged with defending police officers and negotiating the police contract can keep hands off.

Much ado over nothing, SCC.
Mayor 3000 is going to simply pay for this
freshly laid, flaming goo-goo cluster with some
of the money he "saved" by starving taxpaying
areas of this city of Police presence and other
municipal services.
That's some seriously sick and twisted shit,
isn't it?
You know which firms will get qualified.
It will be interesting to see how much their qualification costs in election campaign contributions?
Do they have to support just the mayor, or do they need to contribute to the Alderthieves too?
We - police and citizens footing the bill - are so fucked.
Deck is stacked boys and girls
First rule in government spending. "Why buy one when you can get two for twice the price".
Gee.
What could possibly go wrong here.
All in an incessant attempt at continuous pandering to "the community".
COPA will be funded by using the money from P.O.'s that they suspend . from their THOROUGH (LYNCH MOB) INVESTIGATIONS !!!!
WTF stay out of our contract! FOP where are you
lovey is drooling in anticipation
All the law firms they hire will up their usual $350 a hr to $475 a hr while they submit hundreds of hours a month on their invoices. Will they really work all those hours? Who will watch COPA spending? Who will investigate COPA for any possible wrong doing? Not CPD. This would be a really good path to funnel money into something.
Well, now you know where the new water tax money is going despite Rahm claiming it is for pensions. Maybe he can find a few dollars for pensions next year
I wonder how many cops they're gonna fire their first year. It's not like they're gonna try and prove themselves, right?
Keep doing that proactive crap and you'll be one of the chosen in short order.
Kim Fox can work for there.
Just wait till you see the new order coming out on use of force.
Major League Clusterfuck.
Again and again more millions found, the "rahm crew" constantly come up with billions, like the o'hare "friends and family" expansion program they are "borrowing" another 3.5 billion, rahm keeps borrowing because he will never pay it back the typical democrat mantra, but we the people that remain will pay that bill. The mayor toni and the rest never sat down and had to pay bills, and realize you have to pay what is owed before you incur more debt!has the police pension payments been made? Will the court date beginning first week of January 2017 be needed to again push rahm and his "crew" to fund the pension properly? Officers are retiring at such a rapid pace, the city saves money by hiring younger officers (About that pesky question rahm how many are you hiring?), rahm has trillions in secret funds he can cry broke all he wants but the ballerina has so many "special projects that he dumps so much into proving he can "beg borrow or steal" whatever he wants!
Our new water tax will be covering the COPA spending.
The city has already been farming out police board separation cases to Williams Montgomery and John for like 4 years. This is nothing new.
F'n SCUMBAGS!!! The 9 digit midget is going to enrich his lawyer friends by playing both sides of the fence and using the police as his pawns. If you are young enough, get out and find another, better department to go to. The unclouted blue shirts are nothing but Tiny Dancers playing chips to be used and discarded if and when the need arises.
SO no budget, so a blank check to run the department. How can it be passed by the aldermen without a dollar amount attached to it? Or is it like a 'parking garage' budget, with a few overages?
If somebody gets in your face and calls you a cocksucker, I want you to be nice. Ask him to walk. Be nice. If he won't walk, walk him. But be nice. If you can't walk him, one of the others will help you, and you'll both be nice. I want you to remember that it's a job. It's nothing personal.

Stick to the directives - No More - No Less
Heard detective results being held back might re do whole test is this true?? Anyone got inside scoop?

More like an "incestuous" attempt at pandering. No wonder there isn't anybody at City Hall with better than a room temperature IQ.
Now go out there and chase some people. Oh and don't forget .... get those ISRS and blue traffic cards!!!!!!
These politicians are just gonna suck every last penny out of Chicago and let it go bankrupt and move away THEY do NOT care about anything but devising plans to steal all the money.
(OT) their own rob them now pro police black lies matter:

Hey call your black kitten party those cowards to take care of you!!
Big government makes for big salaries for a select bunch of community based folks steeped in social justice.
Seems fair and righteous dud'nint?
Raise my water bill, phone bill and garbage fees s'more to offset the costs for another City agency, s'all good.
One would hope they are able to come up with something that everyone can trust but I think what will happen is no one will trust it.
To the above that posted the Roadhouse reference, his first name was John. Love the reference anyway.

South Park predicted this. See the Colin Kaperfucks Star Spangled Banner Parody from South Park.

Don't forget about the BLM members they have spoken of more then once being hired by COPA. WTF??????
next contract , all officers will be required to pass a medical examination and power test or be put in a no pay status
be careful , it is a plan to save the pension
all medical time will be deducted from time in service , it will effect seniority , pension , just like suspensions
