Here Comes Bad News

  • The City Council is poised to vote Wednesday on two parts of Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s police accountability overhaul, with a promise to add the critical “third leg” — a civilian oversight board — in short order.

    Without a civilian panel charged with choosing a permanent chief for the Civilian Office of Police Accountability, the agency that will replace the discredited and soon-to-be-abolished Independent Police Review Authority, aldermen warned that public trust shattered by the mayor’s handling of the Laquan McDonald shooting video will never be restored.

    To reassure them, the mayor plans to introduce a resolution Wednesday reaffirming his commitment to put that final piece of the puzzle in place during the first quarter of 2017.
"third leg" is an appropriate turn-of-a-phrase as the Department is about to get bent over and ....

You get the picture.

The mayor will put his puppets in place and expect investigations to be similar to fighting a parking ticket.

You will always lose because you violated somebodies rights. Put cuffs on too tight.
Used a swear word. Pointed that giant handgun at an IDIOT on PCP! Hit the jawjacker too hard with your asp.

GONE! you will be fired.

Just another version of IPRA rehashed. I mean how much more can they keep kicking us in the balls? How much more amature civilian judgement can we take. They already are the lead investigative entity on police involved shootings. What can they possibly understand about real world use of force working these ghetto streets where the only bodies dropping they care about are the ones the police shoot in the course of performing their lawful duties.

Yet more overwhelming reason to stay fetal guys and gals. And the bodies will continue to pile up. But so be it Rome has spoken..

On a side note...the same fools that cry all the time to release police shooting videos are now upset after the LA video was released clearly showing bad guy with gun in hand several times. They say it's a "defamation of his character " Yes, fools. Driving a stolen car and running around with a gun is bad character. This is why America is fucked! Politicians and media SUCK!

Here's what I'm thinkin. Ya grab the top circular part of the stool. The seat part, rite? Then hang on to that for support as the "employer" yet again delivers the ass pounding. We take ass poundings all the time so this will be the simple "2 year long ASS POUNGING that" that we're accustomed to. Remember when seat belts missions were every day? How about True Out Door Roll Calls buy a lot of Young Coppers who were ready to do as told to initiate as much possible quality of life to that neighborhood as their young bodies could? The neighborhood bitches and doesn't even try, but will blame the Police for behavior human beings shouldn't even consider doing to another let alone actually performing a godless act. The neighborhoods won't pony up anything as far as a contribution with The Police to make the area qualify for what would be an actual, vibrant, functioning City neighborhood.

Coppers, please consider this. We have to bargain better on contracts, force "the employer" to not even think about putting make up on Us whenever they want, bang Our asses whenever they want, refer to Us as their bitch behind our backs. Knowing We mean business when an issue arises is somewhere where we should be much much closer than We have been for along time now, Fellow Coppers.
Actions speak louder then words they say, we'll
It used to be a CPD that was constantly made a bitch of by "the employer" but somehow I and obviously everyone else were able to accept it. We act like Our "wins" are so good, as rare as they are, but seldom are these even "wins" its more 'the employer' getting reversed for an act they were so past nefarious on in both thinking and implementation. That's not a win, that's "the employer" being told to go back to what U agreed to

So, whatever is coming, at this point we should have lube in Our Vests and in Our lockers if U have one. Place it on as U must have if U seen how this joint is run.
Here come a lot of people that are going to dictate and order for a gig they would never consider doing themselves. How do U oversee, from City Hall and other nice areas, an organization of Police if U can't walk 2 feet in the other person's shoes?

As always, Fellow Coppers Be Well And Be Safe

That's why I decided to police like I am retired while working. I only arrest upon signed complaints and then and only, do I place cuffs on anyone.
No signed complaints, then no arrests.

To all you fools who are driving around and someone looks funny at you and then runs, and you chase them and arrest for reckless. Well you just may want to reconsider that type of police action with civilians with ZERO police experience and a hatred for the Police deciding your fate.

Think before you take action.

From a troll: Do you see the kind of people who live in Chicago? Do you read about and see the kinds of things the people do? The kinds of things the people say? The kinds of things you hear from ministers and priests like Chicagos very own Father Flegher? If you are appalled at the crime, the corruption, the malfesiance of the politicians, judges and public institutions from bid rigging to incompetent management, you should be concerned about ANY kind of civilian review. It is the civilians who are an intregal part of all of those issues that make Chicago an unliveable place. It is the people who vote for it year after year and decade after decade. Now you want to put the same kind of people on a board reviewing police activity. To make the policing superior and accountable like never before. Now that is a line from crooked politicans who have no interested in any of that bull shit. Well I guess you cops are in for another chapter of denegration of law and order but what the hell, its the Chicago way is it not? Why any of you people would stick your necks out is inexplicable to me. Don't do it.

Just wondering why no coppers have went to the media and countered this bullshit narrative? You know you guys have some network that'll take the story for ratings. You need to get the other side of the story, the truth, out. Do it with a national network. Black out your faces. Hell, get coppers from other shitholes like Milwaukee, Detroit, etc. These fuckers have used the media, perfectly, to push the victim bullshit. You need a nice little collection of cell vids of your own to show what's really going on. We all know what's really going on, but there are snowflakes out there living in a suburban bubble that have no idea what you deal with. It sucks that there are at least 50 anti-police stories daily, but we come here to hear what's really going on. I think it's high time you throw " da community" under the bus, instead of it being you. How long do you have to be boned before you say fuck it and start educating people on the truth, that no amount of money or oversight will change the hood culture, until "da community" changes it. The only things between us and these violent mfers is a door and you good folks ( and my .40) Just hate seeing your hands tied and you getting punched in the teeth daily. The truth needs to be let out. Nobody will do it, and its going to get worse until someone does.

According to Gallup, media credibility is at an all time low: http://www.gallup.com/poll/176042/trust-mass-media-returns-time-low.aspx

What the mayor is proposing is outrageous. He wants to legislate parts of the law now and then they will do the rest later. This power hungry ego maniac still wants to retain top to bottom control.

Lets be honest here. How many times has the police come in on a call and killed a offender to actually save a person's life who was on the seen? Hardly ever. Just about all police shootings are the result of street stops. In most of these if there was no stop and everyone just went on their way nothing would have ever happened. Everyday how many of are fine citizens of the community are up to no good and never get stopped and life goes on. So why decide to single out some when it will not change anything there except put you in a situation to ruin the rest of your life. Wake up Office!

You are absolutely correct. Our contracts are opposite of this. However, a court of HIGHER jurisdiction has ruled that these records are to be kept indefinitely. Federal court trumps collective bargaining agreements. Sorry, but liberal judges keep making these decisions that do nothing for us and the law abiding public. Screwed again. Just remeber, keep electing liberal bastards to positions that can appoint judges.

Even if you have a concealed carry permit it won't do you any good if dude sticks a gun in your face. What? You think this is like one of those western movies where the good guy will quickly draw his gun and shoot the bad guy? That is pure fantasy.

Now do not get me wrong, concealed carry is great if a guy comes with you with a baseball bat or wants to rob you and states he has a gun but does not show it.

BTW, I am a firearms instructor. Guns do indeed save lives but they also give people a false sense of security at times.

The best remedy is always be proactive and always be aware of your surrounding. Practice your gun handling skills, practice dry firing.

Nothing but a name change, smoke, mirrors, and more money fueled between the elected and the connected.

If IPRA was so bad and did not meet their objectives, Lori Lightfoot should have been fired. But this is Chicago, where no one sees a thing and she was promoted with pay raise to head of the police board.

BTW, all police board cases are now un-winnable regardless of evidence with a rubber stamp conviction to the accused officer. So yes, as of now, stay fetal. And yes, all your hard work in the community means nothing now, and Hillary Clinton politics have completely taking over policing. Stay safe.

Now this order of business done let get to work on a civilian financial oversight and independent review authority. Lets make all public financing especially those aldermanic funds available for review and oversight by the citizens. All vouchers related to government payments must be made public making elected officials and their staffs must be held accountable much like a Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002. (Look at the accountability, transparency and penalties set forth in this act).

The fact that Laquan McDonald's family can receive millions off the radar of the taxpayers and press is proof in and of itself that money is free flowing without independent oversight. Someone signed payment vouchers, confidentiality agreements and other paperwork. This includes the mayor, corporation counsel, Ald. Burke and his staff and unknown others. Where is the press demanding all documentation be available for review. So much for transparency and accountability. We all must ask the tough questions and seek the truth.

OT --watch out for this possible scam...

I called the 1-800 number listed on my Com Ed bill, to ask a question, and was somehow connected with an uptalking perkygirl with no last name she'd admit to who asked if I was under or over 50 years of age, and then told me that I'd "won a free medical alert device;" you know, those things you wear around your neck. I've seen the guts of these, 29 cents worth of circuit board and probably a $100/month "monitoring fee."

When I asked Perky for a name and phone number, she got all offended -- "We have 150 different phone numbers all over the country, SIR!!!" but would not divulge either a name or number. She then hung up on me.

I called Com Ed back, told them they'd probably been hacked, and asked for an IT person in the security department. I got an extremely unfriendly "supervisor" of some sort.

Finally I called the Citizens' Utility Board and got someone nice who promised to pass this info along.

The next time C.E. goes down with a squirrel fried up in the 5kv 3-phase, they can figure it out for themselves, I think. Let someone else call and field their supervisory nastiness.

The lights will come back on bye-m-bye no matter what.

The guys up the poles and the guys down the holes are the best, salt of the earth. This kinda person I don't get, though; it's not like they're wearing 2-layer gloves and sweating into rubber sleeves when they're answering the phone, you know?

I as a retired police officer have witnessed so many egregious and incredibly stupid illegal acts by fellow officers that have left me wondering "is this shit ever going to stop"? I'd never rat on a fellow officer but somehow someway somebody's gotta do something or this whole department is going to implode. I don't believe in civilian review but there definitely has to be accountability established otherwise it will continue turning to shit.

"Run Away...!".....Run away....!"....

Lets see how the clearance rate plummets when this monster begins...CPD will only be there to secure the scene and clean up the mess. Remember when IPRA separated the officers involved in a shooting from themselves and were even escorted separately to the bathroom by the dicks??? I imagine the police will be going out of their way to not be there when a crime goes down. Sorry, this isn't what I signed on for. When I started, the city might have had your back if you did things the right way, but anyone with half a brain knows, that the city doesn't care "about how bad things can get out there, and how fast it can happen!"

So, take the bullets out of your gun, and leave the taser in the squad. Unless you can establish a threat to your own lives. And always remember to turn on the camera before you act. No tape looks way bad now...

Now, there is no right way if it looks bad on tape. Good bye Slow, Aggressive, Proactive, Reactive, CAPS patrol.

I really hope the young go getters figure this out fast.

You will be indicted and you will be fired.
Your family will lose all of its saving and that lovely ranch house you own with the nice bar in the basement.

Your commander and those sergeants you drink with will stop texting you and will not show up to your kids birthday party after you are stripped.

The FOP will give you a bare bone defense and unless you have 15k in the bank for a serious lawyer you are doomed.

And all you scholars who right TO -FROMs with quips like "I was looking at my PDT" or "I did not see the guy swinging the knife in the middle of traffic" The bus has just backed up and will be claiming you for your lack of forethought.

Learn the law everyday not just when there is a promotional exam.

Finally after you no longer receive a paycheck but are still stripped you will be like the 1st person with HIV. Your commander will not take your call and any exempt you know will act like your problem in an inconvenience.

Dear Lieutenants test cheating scum. You will all soon be fired. Yes that's right MFR's you are out. If you are one of the scumbags that cheated but have still not gotten promoted, you will be suspended for a good long time. Unless you take that promotion before this breaks. This is being held until after the first of the year. So, you cheating maggots better hope they do not make a class before it breaks , or if it does, pass it up. The difference between being fired and suspended. Or maybe you won't get caught?
Ha, your'e caught!!

If you read this, they got rid of the mitigation process, which several police benefitted from and helped streamline the process for all. Not good, reduces our rights.

I don't care what Angelo does, but he can't be allowed to reduce our rights. We have to have the same rights as citizens. Mitigation isn't constitutionally protected, but other aspects of copa are. Habeus corpus is one that copa wants to take from police mis onduct investigations. The right to identify and face your accuser.

If you were really a sworn police officer, you were part of the problem and a criminal yourself if you watched all these "incredibly stupid illegal acts" and did nothing.

Let me be the first to call you a liar or a criminal yourself. Which is it? Maybe you are just a provocateur. In either case you are a lowlife.

Speaking of lowlifes: I see Walter Burnett has chosen to open his ignorant criminal mouth again. This is the problem with forgiveness. Walter Burnett took a loaded gun and robbed people. He made the conscious decision to put a gun in peoples faces and tell them 'give me your belongings or I will kill you'. Somebody decided to forgive him and guided him into a life in politics. Do you think any of his victims had a say in that?

Can you imagine being on the business end of that gun, how terrified you would be? Now he sits on the City Counsel making policy and talking to the press about how terrible the police are. How crazy is this. Why is it allowed to happen? Why are the voters not down at City Hall with torches and pitchforks?

Along with the other egregious features of this, I find one point that may not pass Constitutional muster: that Police Officers or former Police Officers cannot be employed there for five years.

Isn't that discrimination? Perhaps the ACLU should be called to take up a righteous cause for once. Can we have a few retirees apply for the position, only to be turned down, which will show harm, thereby giving them standing to sue?

You are an idiot and you really should check yourself into good mental health clinic and have your meds adjusted.

The difference between full and fair share is only a few dollars a check. The fair share covers the cost of contract negotiation and administration. The benefit difference is legal defense.

Figuring that a lawyer will probably charge you $250/hr, if not more, even an idiot like you should (repeat:SHOULD) be able to see that it would only take a very short consultation with an attorney to eat up the savings.

A retiree pays $40/year. Gets no contract protection or legal defense. Just 10 meetings a year with pizza and canned beer.

Don't know if you guys no this, the current IPRA staff has to reapply for their positions. Reason being the new ordinance says the director can staff the agency at his/her discretion. First question if Sharon Fairley is only interim wouldn't it be fair for the permanent director to pick her staff. Just like Eddie gets the job when he doesn't apply. Fairley picks the staff as interim because you bet you last dollar she is either going to be permenant director or the new police ig and she will put in one other cronies. Perhaps the deputy chief who was an admission at university of Chicago or may the two deputy chief investigators brought from the ig office ( no law enf exp)and her policy person who looks kike pat from Saturday night live, the adrogenous one. They are gonna keep some but they are bringing in a boat load of attorneys to break down all you do. You think you hated ipra hell they weren't biased against cops. COPA is going to set examples of you, any little thing they can grab on to. Keep your head down watch your six. This city if fubu I'm glad I'm leaving. IPRA info is from solid info, they want to stick it to you far worst than ever before. You can't even say gang banger in front of her. Shit it is what is. No matter how much u dress up a turd it's always a turd.
