Night One
A non-clinching game.
Thousands of cops sitting in and around buses in the general area of Wrigley.
This accomplished what exactly? That the Department could move large amounts of cops around the city 6 hours before game time using buses? The CTA proves they can do that every day of the year.
Any stories to share?

This is all just a farce to show on tv for national coverage to make it look like we are actually staffed. They have everyone "except the select chosen clout people " working
There aren't radios, cars, or spots to put all these people. It's a joke
I actually didn't mind it. It was a nice night away from the ghetto and made a ton of easy money on my day off. I look forward to doing it again tomorrow. Too many whiners and crybabies out there tonight. You can do nothing to change it, make the best of it and make good money. It's a free pass from a beat car in the ghetto and was good seeing old friends and normal people going to the game.
By Hillary. That's all of our story's today. So long witch.
I've got a story. Who cares, sit back and enjoy the easy money. Especially if your RDO got canceled like mine.
Car 13 (Eric Carter) Stop congregating, spread out, and start looking professional! "Go Fuck Yourself" ....Thank you Sir, you made everyones miserable day a bit brighter.
Hundreds of POs and PPOs standing around in 001 without a cubs fan in site. The most excitement we had was a few hundred critical mass bikers that came thru the district in an orderly fashion. Thousands upon thousands of dollars wasted.
Question:
You are all sitting around doing nothing?
For twelve hours?
Off Topic,
One theory on FBI Director Comeys sudden reopening of the Clinton Case is that the agents were starting to revolt, and threatened to go public. Maybe a little solidarity works?
The other theory is that Wikileaks is about to dump emails on Monday that will prove just how guilty Queen Cankles is. Comey is desperately trying to get ahead of it.
He should have announced her indictment on July 5, 2016, rather than whitewashing her crimes.
Vote Trump, and drain the swamp of DC.
Maybe Chicago can be next?
Just wait until the Vikings rape and pillage their way through Chicago on Monday.
I got sent out downtown with the recruits. Michigan Ave was saturated with coppers and people were like WTF? Why is there so many of you here tonight? It was fucking pointless to have all these resources down there. Big waste of time and dough.
Lots of people by the Bean, thanked us for being there.
Yeah at 376 aka Callback they changed our hours to an hour later. No calls. Dead.
Actually this is good news. It proves that current leadership can mass and move large numbers of cops anywhere in the City.
Scc don't hate it accomplished a lot .. we got paid time an a half to sit on our ass and do nothing. Scc why are you complaining ?
I understand the terrorism deterrence aspect of this whole thing, but if one group of officers is rlying on another group of officers to do their assigned job and they don't, there is a dominio effect. Absolutely no communication between Patrol and the Specialized units. So many loop holes and flaws in this plan, just hope none of us get hurt.
And a disaster, massive rioting and loss of life was averted.
OT: Get in there and Vote Trump/Pence...won't hurt at all. Lines are long due to Madigan and Company putting everything but the kitchen sink into the Ballot...14 pages of questions/distractions...No need to have done that now. Figure it out...you'll be right. Illinois will take a long time to deliver its Ballots. But truly, Vote for Trump/Pence. Rather his story than her crap (Hillary should have been off the stage some 25 years ago). So get the hook. You can do it.
So one radio between 4 officers !!! Bit of a safety issue in this day and age !
What an unbelievable waste of manpower. Seriously, if this were the private sector the person that came up with this bloated unnecessary plan would be fired.
2 Finance Bike Guys rolling around all night. Thought I even saw that Dude that usually is up in the 41st Ward.
Way too many bosses there. Everybody wanted to hear themselves on the radio. Car 13 is way over his head. Could not make a decision for anything. No Cubs clinch game here. Take it back to Cleveland. Word is that Wrigley may sell seats to fans to come and watch the away games on the jumbo screen so they can sell them $12 beers.
This whole deal really justified someone's white shirt--- yay!
Totally unnecessary. I get it is a major event and requires additional police. I also understand that the Dept had the ability and time to request for volunteers and use reverse seniority. Changing start times up to 5hrs, 12hr days, being in place 6 hrs before the game. Riculous. If I hear 1 more time that this is why we get duty availability. Really, this was a pre-planned event not an unforeseen emergency. If this is the new norm, 12hr days and interrupting personal lives then we should have the option to opt out of our duty availability which is a mere 1200 for the year after taxes to disrupt your life for any event. This contract is horrible on so many levels. You have no rights.
Never left And they cancelled my day off for this why? A lot of the brass think that we'll just be happy and roll over if they throw money at us. Well no thanks. I'd rather be home with the wife and kids enjoying my day off. But, to the exempts they don't give a shit about our lives, our schedules or any inconvenience it might be to our life as long as they look good. This cancelled days off and 12 hour days was just unbelievably unnecessary and total overkill.
Just so youngsters on the job are aware. 2003 outside Wrigley was a shit show that required riot gear and extra manpower. 2005 there was no problems by the Cell and no where near the presence was needed. Translation...Sox fans stayed sober and acted civilized. Not all, but a large portion Cubs fans act like drunken idiots. I was watching them staggering out shit faced tonite. So you mean to tell me you wait your whole life to see a world series at Wrigley and act like drunk asshole and won't remember being there. Unreal.
I guess the house mouse's and desk dollies from 35th and Michigan did not have to give up their weekend to work this World Series detail? Talk about having it good.
Cleveland Rocks! There's always next year...
So is Monday still cancelled??????
Yeah I have a Story to share "WE NEED A NEW MAYOR"
It was a potential terrorist operation that they prevented. Don't you remember the past?? Boston Marathon, ect...........
Car 41, Ryan, what a useless joke. Completely screwed up the Trump rally and got off easy today cause nothing happened.
Man I enjoyed myself I got overtime and ate and watched the game and did jack ....talked to a lot of citizens who support the police it was refreshing...
Real reason for all the manpower? A handful of terrorism threats directed at Wrigley Field and the surrounding areas as well as a CPD computer system hacked. I won't divulge exactly who is here in town such as special forces, military intelligence, Homeland Security, Secret Service, etc., but there were very real threats communicated that the general public will never hear about. This is because they want you sheep to remain clueless. Unfortunately they didn't tell any of us grunts in blue shirts on the front lines either. My info comes from a buddy hooked into the feds. Please consider this as gospel and remain hyper vigilant. Sunday is most probable for issues. The assholes who are supposed to be in charge don't give a fuck about you otherwise we would've been told something.
The city that works......DOESN'T!!
Thanlk You Upper Management. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
What the department needs to focus on is the election. If Trump wins (please God, he must win) the other side won't be able to handle it. Typical liberals only believe in democracy when it suits them. Bad shit may happen. If we're really blessed, Trump will win and all of his haters will move to Canada as promised and they'll never get back in.
Good.
I'm hitting the fuckin' money box as much as I can so I can pay for some shitty Obamacare when I retire.
Oh yeah, Rahmmie....Remember, you get what you pay for.
Indians in 7!
💩
Yo the one who is asking - HQ was sitting on buses outside of HQ for hours then some went to 001 to work Diwntown . It was so disorganized . Henny Penny is in over her head . Some went to Wrigley. 12 hour days all weekend
I don't care - pay me !
Since the Christmas tree was moved last year to the Bean, they better have a police detail to protect the good oeople. I have a feeling some bad guy will get his lunch from a carried concealed citizen this year.
I am willing to bet that so many cops were deployed so the city can make money off this. MLB is paying the bill. I'm willing to bet a lot that the city will be placing a heavy mark up on that bill.

Yesterday I voted for TRUMP/PENCE

You have one right. To be a police officer and follow orders. WTF! If you are assigned a post then stand the post. Since when has police work become convenient? Are you guaranteed 8 hrs a day that never change? Your life is expected to be disrupted when ever you make arrests or for any emergency. You forget that a police officer is available 25/7 when necessary. Even without the duty availability money you are required to work when the department orders you to work. Such as immature cry baby. Check cash on your OT slip and enjoy xmas. By the way, STFU

I guess you forgot about your man William Ligue Jr. and son jumping the first base ump. No offense, but when I think of a Sox fan I imagine the shirtless mulatard father son duo beating down the ump. I was working in 2003 and I don't recall anything significant happening, just a lot of quiet drunks walking around after they lost game 7. A lot Cubs fans suck, but sober and civilized is not how I would describe a Sox fan. Sorry, but you sound like another southsider with a chip on his shoulder. Move north while you still can.
It was nice for those who worked 12 hours at time and a half to stand around and do nothing. Or sat in the station because there were no cars or radios available. Sucked for those answering call after nonsense call in the ghetto for 12 hours.
Now that a lot of the boys from the 'Ville have seen Wrigleyville, how do we keep them at Beatrice's?
Best radio communication of the night.
Screaming boss telling everyone to stop congregating get on their posts and act like they know what they are doing.
Answer: ...go fuck yourself.
Balls!
This is being paid for by DHS. Think about why. Perhaps to see how we could control this kind of crowd if Trump wins?
Nice break from 007
It was an absolute joke and a laugh all night. Everyone just stared at each other and made jokes about the department. There was no reason to take guys away from their families on short notice all during the WS. NONE! I can understand if there was something going on but there wasn't. Huge overreaction of collasal magnatude that has never been seen before at this level. Maybe a clinching game but even then it could be handled by all the teams in the city and maybe deploy incident cars. This is flat out bizarre!

Did you ever think that the "complainers " didn't want their weekend cancelled and would rather be with their families instead of getting the money? It was short notice even though the city knew about the games way in advance. It isn't even necessary to deploy 1000's to a non-clinching game. Family first right? Remember ages ago when the brass said that? But they were talking about their family.
Not a cop.
I am glad it was a (relatively) peaceful day and night.
I hope you are all bored out of your gourds by the time this is over.
That means it was peaceful at the Series.
It looks like the usual senseless mayhem isn't stopping though, six dead and sixteen wounded in eighteen hours?
Many citizens witnessed Deputy Carter as a raving lunatic! Seriously, who is in charge?!
You can't even control yourself.
So unorganized and unnecessary.
Pay me.
A Complete cluster f$&k. Buses on shettfield screwed everything up. People were pinned in like cattle - if any kind of panic event happened - shots fired,fights there would have been a catastrophe!!!! Exempt don't have a clue! In the mean time they're burning out coppers working at about 15 hrs a day( from time you leave house to get to soldier field until the time you get out of the f$&king parking lot to getting home 2:15 am - took at least 20 min to get out of soldier field parking - complete shit show!!!!!!

Giggle
It is nice to know the bosses are thinking of us, not one bathroom, bottle of water or so much as a small snack near our post. Told to walk to 019 to get something. No place to put your helmets. I always knew they could care less yesterday just shored that up.
We sat around waiting 2 hours for a squad then the lt. said since we are making tons of money we should bring in tons of activity hahahahahaha!!!!!
Way too many cops hanging around at Wrigley on a night with no possibility of clinching. The maneuver shutting off Addison after the game just made things worse trying to get out of there.
But my biggest pet peeve, cell phone texters. Trying to get thru the alley at the El station, a whole line of young cops along the wall, texting. Listening to the comments from the public, it was noticed.
MLB is playing so you know the city is putting out all the man power and bs it can. All in all not a bad day and Saturday will be just as easy. Enjoy the xmas money. Nobody will complain when that extra check comes. This department is ran by a lot o idiots. At the end of the day let's just be safe and get home to our families.
Had a ball congregating
Ate some great food twice
Plenty of coffee
And 2 naps
GoooooooooooCubs

Sox fans have no where to hang out but inside the stadium and then go home. Wrigley is all surrounded by bars and nice homes. I wouldn't get drunk at a ball game anyways 8-12 dollar beers. Lol
Why is Eric carter always so angry? He does nothing and gets $140000 yr. that would make me smile
Had a great night, made time and a half, spoke to many nice out of towners, ate good food. Great night! Stop crying everyone, it is what it is.
thank you to the Salvation army for helping to feed hundreds of policemen working long hours and with limited places to go to eat due to having to be near/on post entire game and restaurants packed with little chance to get a quick eat.

Well said, I couldn't agree more. Everyone should just deal with it and enjoy the extra money. We all knew from day one as police officers having days off canceled and working long hours may happen. It doesn't happen often. So to all the cry babys...STFU!!
Although I got a lot of "thanks for being here we we appreciate you guys." They also asked why are there so many police? And what they're really thinking is how much is this costing? So over kill on a special event but spread too thin on a day to day basis. So 1,000 plus cops to make sure they get to they're car safely after the game but only a handful to protect they're home and kids while they're away at work or asleep at night. So what are they really thinking... no fricken common sense here.
The only thing that was done right yesterday is when they shut down the red line.
Actually this is good news. It proves that current leadership can mass and move large numbers of cops anywhere in the City.
10/29/2016 12:55:00 AM
The above post reflects how bad management in the Department is and how terrible a mayor Rahm is. This goof is actually impressed and happy we can put coppers on a bus and move them across the city. THAT impresses him in today's Department. We are a joke.
Good job by CPD
rahm really appreciates your dedication
Rahm shows his appreciation by ending Health Insurance for CPD Retirees
To All Police Officers , You will be retired one day
Stay Safe , Stay Fetal , Always , Always Back Each other up
Help the Law Abiding Citizens , they need you Now , more than ever
Do Not make any O/V narcotic stops , it will jam you up
Be careful , never trust a politician
50 alderman to do exactly what , everything is done on 311

Stop it!!! Didn't you know all of this could happen the day you signed on for this job. Sometimes making a living to support your family gets in the way of other things in life, but without that "making a living" there probably would be no family! Being the police is different than most jobs as you should know. The fact is you made some extra money that if your smart you will spend it on your family next time you spend time with them! Nothing happened because of the "overkill" as you put it. That is the goal. For once stop thinking so one dimensional and look at the overall big picture.
Do you really think the idiots running the city or the police department consciously sat down and said "Lets see how we can screw over the men and women of the police department on this Oct weekend and blame it on the Cubs"?
CMON MAN!!
Anybody see the "stare" asshole?

THANK YOU. You have the right attitude about his whole thing! Too many officers waste a lot of their lives complaining about things they have no control over. Ask one of the complainers what they would do if they were in charge and had the responsibility to handle this event. I'll bet you will hear some really asinine responses. What I really liked about your response was the "seeing old friends" part. Here was a great, low pressure situation to catch up with like minded people. That is what used to make this job great; the camaraderie!!!! Stay safe officer and spend the extra dough doing something fun with your family. To the whiners and criers spend the money on some quality tissue so you don't slip and fall on your tears!

Duty availability amounts to 3400 pre tax. Wtf do you claim to be taxed from 3400 to 1200? Yeesh.
Who drives the bus?
I bet Ralph Kramden could tell some stories.
Any SG.2 sitings?
2:03 There were no problems by the Smell because there were no fans there or anywhere else, pathetic.
OT: Rich Daley & Son are looking for a 15 million dollar gain for their green card scheme, other-wise known as 'Bonanza'...(bringing wealthy folks to this country). Get Richie & Family outta our sight. They are nothing more than deadbeats...looking for hand-outs all the time.
As a resident of Lakeview, I can't thank you enough for being here. Sorry, they screwed your time off up but, we are really grateful for your presence. Stay safe!
No police outside the Wrigley area? 30 people were shot or killed in the city yesterday. Go Cubbies...
Trump will win
Polls rigged by dnc against old man sanders

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is reviewing another slew of emails related to Hillary Clinton’s private server — apparently thanks to Anthony Weiner.
FBI Director James Comey sent a letter to congressional leaders Oct. 28 saying that his agency recently discovered additional emails that are pertinent to the previously concluded investigation into whether Clinton mishandled classified information using a private server from her home in Chappaqua, N.Y. Comey said these new emails were found in “connection with an unrelated case.”
Later in the day, the New York Times and the Associated Press reported that the additional emails were discovered on former New York Rep. Anthony Weiner’s electronic devices during the FBI’s investigation of his sexting habits. According to the Times, the FBI is looking at inappropriate text messages Weiner allegedly sent to a 15-year-old girl
put Anthony weiner in charge of the cubs detail

Good. Maybe I'll go downtown tonight. It's been ages since I've been there due to the 'yutes' from the west and south side. Other Sox fans should follow suit. Send city hall a clue.

Clinton will win. This nation is too liberal. The mainstream media worked Trump over with their lies. Remember most voters are the naive and misled.

I recommend Yellowknife and Whitehorse. Wonderful climate! Inuvik and Iqaluit are charming in mid-winter. Then there is always centrally located Winter-peg........I mean Winnipeg.
Make sure to take a parka!
Sat around and ate good food all day. Showed my face in the subway every so often, walked around at ground level. Easy money
If there is not enough cops working then the administration is wrong. If there are too many cops working then they wasted staffing which is money. Not a good position to be in ether way. We need to stop bitching like a 7 year old school girl and voice the real concerns which effect the working police who are trying to do the right thing.
When you vote Trump Pence.
Vote for the guy running against Kim Fox for states attny and no to all judges. Send them a message.
Remember france with the white truck....stay alert!

All FOP members don't support Trump. Screw him. I bet you supported Rauner too, and we see the fine job he is doing with the state.
I guess the house mouse's and desk dollies from 35th and Michigan did not have to give up their weekend to work this World Series detail? Talk about having it good.
Obviously you don't know anyone that works there, because if you did they would tell you they are out here working too. Besides they don't get much overtime and are thankful to have the RDO's cancelled.
12 hours Monday with no games to be played, what exactly will 3rd watch be doing
Question:
You are all sitting around doing nothing?
For twelve hours?
10/29/2016 12:25:00 AM
Answer:
YES.
This is what happens when a bunch of clouted morons are in charge that would otherwise be serving us all fries.
Just saw the Facebook live cast of the bike unit at wrigley field. Since when have coppers been allowed facial hair. Filed some grievances when I was District Rep in 005 in 80,s but I don't remember ever hearing of an order authorizing them. Look is not becomeing. Kell
House mouses in 009 and 007 inside.... anywhere else ? How do 3rd watch Caps dollies get to work days during this fiasco. Desk crew with Sgt 3 civilians and 5 pos. Who organized this shit show exactly ?
Real reason for all the manpower? A handful of terrorism threats directed at Wrigley Field and the surrounding areas as well as a CPD computer system hacked. I won't divulge exactly who is here in town such as special forces, military intelligence, Homeland Security, Secret Service, etc., but there were very real threats communicated that the general public will never hear about.

That would explain why a motherfucking 'little bird' was flying West on I90 . SOAR 5th special forces group bird. This is bull shit, a full on police state and soon to be martial law. These fucking feds need to be putting out this terror threat info on TV. Such fucking bullshit that they keep it secret.
SF on the streets is oppression.
Its a photo OP for RAHM.
With TRUMP harping about CHI-RAQ and the Englewood killing fields Good OLE BARRY OBAMA sent magical Funds to pay for all that delicious overtime.
Have you ever seen the City cancel days off and still keep officers around soaking in that delicious overtime.
Even Mystery Monday is Overtime! NO GAME being played. The media types will not say a word because drum roll please... They can Buy tickets at face value! They use the excuse they are reporting on the game.
What i could not figure out is those clouted merit bosses from up North showing up to Wrigley in City owned cars with department radio and then work private security for the Ricketts/CUBS. These bosses then go walk into the command post and order on duty bosses around.
Media could track the bosses cars because they all have GPS and were taken from the AREA where the working people had no cars!
Is it wrong? I will have to ask the IAD guys sitting at my desk texting his girlfriend what he thinks.

amen to both of you guys! exactly, stop stressing. Yes time with family is very vaulable but you can do absolutly nothing to change this so enjoy it while you can. Trust me, when you retire and you have grandkids years from now and you are telling them stories you can say that you remember working the night when the cubs went to the world series. Not many people can have stories like that. You can also say you were part of NATO and other big events that happen in history. stop stressing and take the big chunk of cash and spend it on something nice for your family.
If the Tribe wins tonight, and they're 3 runs ahead right now, all of you may be needed desperately tomorrow night at Wrigley Field for suicide prevention watch.

Just saw the Facebook live cast of the bike unit at wrigley field. Since when have coppers been allowed facial hair. Filed some grievances when I was District Rep in 005 in 80,s but I don't remember ever hearing of an order authorizing them. Look is not becomeing. Kell

So, you are retired and sitting around upset cause you saw a few cops on TV with beards? With everything that has happened to law enforcement over the last 2 years including murdered cops, it's beards that bothers you? You must be a real treat to be with in retirement. PS...I have excess back hair.

What the department needs to focus on is the election. If Trump wins (please God, he must win) the other side won't be able to handle it. Typical liberals only believe in democracy when it suits them. Bad shit may happen. If we're really blessed, Trump will win and all of his haters will move to Canada as promised and they'll never get back in.
All FOP members don't support Trump. Screw him. I bet you supported Rauner too, and we see the fine job he is doing with the state.
10/29/2016 05:25:00 PM
You obviously don't know how politics works. Rauner can't do anything Madagin has a veto proof majority. Do I need to explain what that means?
The people crying that days off were cancelled are the same people that would cry if duty availability were ever taken away.
BS Plan is Still NO PLAN
CPD Brass hasn't a Clue
IG?
3:20AM......
Ha! Trump rally was intentionally wrecked on Emanuel's orders.
Even Mystery Monday is Overtime! NO GAME being played. The media types will not say a word because drum roll please... They can Buy tickets at face value! They use the excuse they are reporting on the game.
What i could not figure out is those clouted merit bosses from up North showing up to Wrigley in City owned cars with department radio and then work private security for the Ricketts/CUBS. These bosses then go walk into the command post and order on duty bosses around.
Media could track the bosses cars because they all have GPS and were taken from the AREA where the working people had no cars!
Is it wrong? I will have to ask the IAD guys sitting at my desk texting his girlfriend what he thinks.
10/29/2016 08:21:00 PM
Maybe the o.t. on Mystery Monday is for the Bears game!!!

Although I got a lot of "thanks for being here we we appreciate you guys." They also asked why are there so many police? And what they're really thinking is how much is this costing? So over kill on a special event but spread too thin on a day to day basis. So 1,000 plus cops to make sure they get to they're car safely after the game but only a handful to protect they're home and kids while they're away at work or asleep at night. So what are they really thinking... no fricken common sense here.
10/29/2016 10:27:00 AM
They may also be thinking, "Is there a terror threat you're not telling us about?"

This is being paid for by DHS. Think about why. Perhaps to see how we could control this kind of crowd if Trump wins?
10/29/2016 08:41:00 AM
No. This is being paid for by major league baseball, like it is every year in whatever towns host the series.

Yo the one who is asking - HQ was sitting on buses outside of HQ for hours then some went to 001 to work Diwntown . It was so disorganized . Henny Penny is in over her head . Some went to Wrigley. 12 hour days all weekend
10/29/2016 07:21:00 AM
She's been over her head for a couple of decades, but hey, that's the normal caliber of CPD leadership.
12 hours of standing - then less than 12 hours of rest before another 12 hours of standing. My feet hurt !!

The way the Cubs are playing, there may not be any games next week at all. Cleveland might win tomorrow (Sunday) in the friendly confines.
Will Eric Carter get a real duty HOLSTER for the safety of all the real police working this detail. If you going to leave the building please be safe for our sake.
William ligue incident happened 14yrs ago with Alsip trash on half priced nite. Wrigley has its share of assholes running onto the field. Randy Myers and Kyle Farnsworth had fans charge at them, cubs fans getting into an altercation with the Dodgers bullpen stealing their hats and brawling them, throwing beer all over Shane victorino, shouting racial slurs at the Marlins in 2003 when they got on the bus, and my favorite....the scumbag pedophile taking pictures of children using the bathroom. Do some research buddy. Wrigley is loaded with idiots, I feel sorry for their decent fans that want to go to a game there or bring their children.
Real reason for all the manpower? A handful of terrorism threats directed at Wrigley Field and the surrounding areas as well as a CPD computer system hacked. I won't divulge exactly who is here in town such as special forces, military intelligence, Homeland Security, Secret Service, etc., but there were very real threats communicated that the general public will never hear about. This is because they want you sheep to remain clueless. Unfortunately they didn't tell any of us grunts in blue shirts on the front lines either. My info comes from a buddy hooked into the feds. Please consider this as gospel and remain hyper vigilant. Sunday is most probable for issues. The assholes who are supposed to be in charge don't give a fuck about you otherwise we would've been told something.
Why all the secrecy? This is an anonymous blog. Preach us your "gospel", oh holy one and keep us safe.
When desk or lockup bids become open, bid for them. Open wise stop complaining about what Officers do with their assignment. Become an adult and worry about yourself.
I can't wait for my special Cubbies Ribbon to wear with all my other useless ones..it will look so nice! lol
Why the F was Rahm on the field with the flag with the first responders?
He is Not a first responder!
I know, he needed to do that because he can't afford to purchase WS tickets out of his own pocket.
What an ass.
House mouses all inside and around Wrigley, while the working cops get to stay where they are at = in the districts.
You'd think they'd toss the working cops a bone and give them the Wrigley area But Nooooo. Got give it to those that if they were in a squad car they wouldn't know what to do!

And yet those Aldermen and the Mayor will have healthcare for life.
It will only affect the minions, the working folk.
Just like Congress, they have a gold package of healthcare and pensions for life.
I'm also hearing rumors that M. Obama's momma was put on the payroll for the last 8 years and will get a $160k pension and healthcare for the rest of her life too.
What the f is wrong with this country? Don't answer that.
SMH
Totally unnecessary. I get it is a major event and requires additional police. I also understand that the Dept had the ability and time to request for volunteers and use reverse seniority. Changing start times up to 5hrs, 12hr days, being in place 6 hrs before the game. Riculous. If I hear 1 more time that this is why we get duty availability. Really, this was a pre-planned event not an unforeseen emergency. If this is the new norm, 12hr days and interrupting personal lives then we should have the option to opt out of our duty availability which is a mere 1200 for the year after taxes to disrupt your life for any event. This contract is horrible on so many levels. You have no rights.
You sound like a whining millennial. Get a grip. It's embarrassing to hear this. You're a police officer. We signed up for this. On 9/11, police and firemen worked non-stop, some without pay, in horrible and tragic conditions without whining. I realize this is a different situation, but get a grip. Everyone knew when they signed up for when they got hired. If you're that upset, quit and get an office job.
Go TRIBE, end this bull-shit!
Time and half for sitting on your ass...take the money and run. ♠️
Show us the money!!!
I feel a medical hit coming soon.
These fuckhead bosses want to standing for 12hrs.
Fuck them.
FOP should take a look at other Union Contracts. Streets & San contract 6th work day in a row is time and a half, 7th work day in a row is double time, every day after 7 is double time.
As it was the City's choice to shrink the Department they should have to pay the premium for cancelling RDOs and having POs working 10, 11, 12, 13 days in a row to cover major events which is now becoming the norm.
Micky Mouse can do a better job of deployments and running this Police Dept.!
Fucking Exempt Dopes we have here!

---yes he can afford them
remember, after working in the white house he used his government connections to get a private job negotiating a contract with Com Ed (a quasi governmental agency) to "earn" $18M in as many months
he was the most qualified applicant you know, a B.A. in liberal arts he has

hey maybe you sox fans can enjoy the new season of the Walking Dead while we are wathcing the Cubs in the playoffs last year, this year, next year, and the year after that .. and there's always the Bears and the National Anthem protestors for you too
Henny Penny Trahanas, you know the one who wants her title listed as Commanding Officer instead of Captain has screwed up everything in Special Events and their will be a mass exodus of folks leaving there due to her idiotic ways and the fact that she talks to people in a condescending manner. She begged and pleaded with anyone that would listen for that spot in the hopes it would lead to her being a Commander again. I hope that never happens because she couldn't find her way out of a paper bag

It keeps Bruce from turning you defined benefits pension into a 401k to start with. Bruce vetoed your cola bill. Now FOP has to ask Madigan and the republican state reps to over ride that veto. Your too stupid for words or just naïve. Get out of mommas basement.
This is what happens when a bunch of clouted morons are in charge that would otherwise be serving us all fries.
10/29/2016 06:00:00 PM
OK. This was incredibly mean, and yet, spot on.
Not to be confused with the conversation Ted Kennedy had with Bill Clinton when Ted said of Barack Obama: "Ten years ago he would have been serving us coffee". Unlike Ted Kennedy, I don't believe the poster is making a racist remark. Rather it is a statement about their competence.
went to the cubs game
nice crowds , fans , Chicago Police Officers did an outstanding job
hats off to command staff , better more police officers than not enough
this should trickle down to district patrol
hello we are short , get the house mice out of police headquarters , human square and caps office as I know every police officer is a CAPS Officer ,
political connected go from PO to Sgt to Lt and many never work the streets
assigned but detailed to office work
one suggestion to all supervisors , police ladies looking good with pony tails , easy on the eyes
But step up and remind them if/when the sh-t hits the fan , criminals will grab that pony tail and drag you around like a dog on a leash

I actually didn't mind it. It was a nice night away from the ghetto and made a ton of easy money on my day off. I look forward to doing it again tomorrow. Too many whiners and crybabies out there tonight. You can do nothing to change it, make the best of it and make good money. It's a free pass from a beat car in the ghetto and was good seeing old friends and normal people going to the game.
10/29/2016 12:12:00 AM
THANK YOU. You have the right attitude about his whole thing! Too many officers waste a lot of their lives complaining about things they have no control over. Ask one of the complainers what they would do if they were in charge and had the responsibility to handle this event. I'll bet you will hear some really asinine responses. What I really liked about your response was the "seeing old friends" part. Here was a great, low pressure situation to catch up with like minded people. That is what used to make this job great; the camaraderie!!!! Stay safe officer and spend the extra dough doing something fun with your family. To the whiners and criers spend the money on some quality tissue so you don't slip and fall on your tears!
*****************************
amen to both of you guys! exactly, stop stressing. Yes time with family is very vaulable but you can do absolutly nothing to change this so enjoy it while you can. Trust me, when you retire and you have grandkids years from now and you are telling them stories you can say that you remember working the night when the cubs went to the world series. Not many people can have stories like that. You can also say you were part of NATO and other big events that happen in history. stop stressing and take the big chunk of cash and spend it on something nice for your family.
10/29/2016 09:17:00 PM
Agreed. I spent a little too much time whining and feeling sorry for myself. I regret it.
Hey Cubs Command Post. Here an idea. Why don't you switch up the teams assigned to stand in an intersection for 8 hours. Same teams past two nights while other units have been sitting "standby" for two nights. I'm just saying nice to have a break. Or is that too much for this overpromoted brain trust that runs this shit show of a department.

Roger that Alpha hotel,
While walking my dog last night I saw 02 battalions of the 101st. executing a HALO jump over the woods near Forest Preserve drive and Cumberland, Looked like at least 02 companies of Rangers on the ground securing the L.Z.and a column of armor on one flank at Belmont led by General George Patton! When I got home my family said I was nuts,but you,me and your buddy "hooked into the Feds" know better don't we ?.....Wink!
P.S Ixnay with Ellentay....Top secret!

Blog follower (not a cop) here from out of town to work with the tv coverage. I've had lots of positive interactions with officers over the last two weeks. Only bad thing I've heard is one of the tv crew got mugged walking to the stadium from parking lot off of Irving Park.
Stay safe & thank you.
Yes three days of overtime watching the game sitting on my ass looking at hot babes and getting paid big ! Thanks cpd cubs Indians and mlb!
It's amazing to me how many of the out of town tv crew follow this blog & heyjackass. Thanks for the info & humor.

Wow, drove up from st Louis, rooting for cubs...hmmmm now hoping for repeat of 1985 series... Where are you... seriously Cubs rock this ...

That is way too much to ask. The people who did the plan---are not out there doing the work and they do not take suggestions from the peanut gallery. Same goes for most of the Commanders/Directors/Chiefs---hacks who do not care and do not make any sort of actual decisions.

That will be the day, Yeah they're going to leave special events and go back to patrol because of her.
Who comes up with this incredibly moronic shit?
This department is getting smaller and smaller every year. The city closed three police stations and two areas. The city disbanded many special units. The city is not replaced the police who retire. We are so short its a JOKE
