Blue Shirts Winning

A couple of hints that something is up at HQ on Thursday:
  • Heard the exempts got their asses chewed out by the supt. And Navarro yesterday.

  • Eddie's losing it. Yesterday he yelled at the command staff because of the violence. He left and then Waller apologized.
When the guy at the top is losing his cool, it's because someone above him is chewing on his ass and we all know that shit flows downhill. Another clue, since this story seems to be getting some steam:
  • OT. All of the Commanders and XO's were called down to HQ under the guise of Leadership Training and were chewed a new ass by the Supe and 1st Deputy claiming that the reason shootings and homicides are at record levels is because of a lack of leadership at the district level. The Supe said he will replace any commander or XO that can't get their troops on board with the ISR's. He claims nobody is stopping anyone anymore and it's because commanders don't know how to be leaders. Now commanders will be forced to carry out BS missions in order to generate BS numbers and he thinks that will help? A years worth of incompetent leadership at the top and now he's going to once again throw the Po's under the bus? GFYS
The Department has been "merit" promoting political cronies for years now, not anyone who has an inkling of what Leadership means, and Special Ed is surprised he has no leaders? You know what this tells us?
  • That coppers, with no help from the FOP (which by Contract, cannot advocate a job action), communicating amongst themselves, are taking a stand and denying the brass the numbers needed to give the politicians cover from the voters. The street cops, the men and women of the Department, the Thin Blue Line.....are winning.
Police work is still getting done in a fashion. Jobs are answered. Reports are written. Tickets are issued occasionally. But proactive police work is pretty much dead, and the blame for that is squarely in the political realm. Cops aren't sticking their necks out, knowing that Special Ed is looking to strip officers, the Police Board is looking to fire cops and Kimesha Foxxx is looking to imprison officers. Why bring attention to yourself, when it can't end well?

The next step for the brass is obvious - it's the only play in their book and this commentator describes it being underway perfectly:
  • Has anyone else been told at roll call, or were the victim of the stripper himself, That well fed Ed has stopped coppers on the street and asked them what the gang conflict areas are in their districts, then pulling up their activity while they are still on scene asking for them why they aren't doing shit?

    Lately in Rollcall they have been threatening us that if they don't get numbers they are going to start fucking with us; ie time due denied, splitting up partners, taking away guys regular cars, putting people who don't get along together, ect. They really need a good federal indictment these white shirts. Just wish the Feds would stop turning a blind eye to it, they have to know what these assholes are saying to us.
Gee, sounds like something the Department of Justice might want to look at....if President Trump doesn't slash and burn their entire organization. Does everyone know what the most devastating response is from the men and women of the Chicago Police Department?
  • Stay Fetal
Continue to respond to jobs and generate paper. Arrest on signed complaints. Politely ask for the exact number of tickets, arrests, curfews, ANOV's, or ISR's that will allow you to continue working the car / start time / with the partner of your choice. Ask for it in writing. And do it in front of witnesses. NEVER EVER meet with a Sergeant / Watch Lieutenant / Captain / Commander alone where he or she can threaten you.

The Blues are winning. Special Ed is out of options, so the threats are starting, and that's a losing proposition every single time.

Let's not forget the near daily occurrence of being shot at as well. I'm not sure what the answer is either but I don't thinking laying down will help us stay safe any longer. I agree everyone is in preservation mode but our safety is increasingly in jeopardy. Anyone have any real thoughts on this?

I love to see these spineless "bosses" in 004 try to tell you with coded language that you will be fucked with if you dont produce ISR's. One year of these isrs and the only ones doing them are management people ie.. baby tact (06 team) tact, and management on watch. If you make the bid there is no way to fuck with you...you are getting paid and that is all that will ever matter. I have always done what is beneficial for me on this job because i learned real fast that you are just a pawn for the bosses to "advance" their career. I will do activity for vri and nothing more. And if vri dries up, no big deal...i dont live beyond my means and zeros will reappear across the activity sheet. Like they say in goodfellas...fuck you, pay me.

Why be proactive in a City that doesn't want the police, nor do they back them when shit hits the fan. This administration has more leaks than the titanic and is sinking as quickly! When an "activist" gets a PO's (Sgt's) information directly from he 5th floor a day after an OIS - how can anyone trust these "leaders". Some one has to stand up for the thin blue line & say "no more" - it might as well be THE THIN BLUE LINE because our leaders definitely won't. Do your jobs, answer your calls in a timely fashion, cut paper, keep moving so they can't get you for inattention and back each other up. We are all we've got- let's stick together and let our actions speak for us!

First time I took a look at the ISR I said "WTF? Who would want to spend time on a self-immolating nightmare like this?". It's a trap, anyone with a brain realizes it's a trap and yet the Politicians try to push you into the trap.

Guys - that tells you all you need to know. Eventually the shit will get so bad that the Politicians won't be able to hide and the People will handle it - just like we did in the rest of the Country...

In the meantime, stay safe.

I dare Ed to find me on the way to a call. I know my beat. I park the next block over and walk up through the yards..... Foot patrol (remember the days of mandatory "foot patrol" event numbers?) .... I'll be clear, in my car, and on the way to the next call before he realizes I cleared the first one.....but if he does fine me......

I'm sorry Ed, what general order or special order or department order requires me to know the gang conflicts in my district or on my beat? Oh I'm sorry, I haven't had time to learn those because my start times change daily, my boss never puts me on the same car two days in a row, and sometimes I work with who I asked to work with and other times I work with a kid off probation who doesn't know what an index crime is or the hierarchy rule (what are they teaching in the academy these days?) and sometimes I work with someone who works a different pace than I do....

My activity you ask?? Oh -- do they keep track of how many reports I write? how many crime scenes I've protected? How many times the desk or Lt has asked me to get their lunch for them on company time? Do you keep track of the backlogs in my district and how many times I've been stacked with two and three jobs? Do you keep track of how many times I've done a tour without lunch? Do they keep stats on how many times I've had to change a flat tire on these overused, broken down, high mileage squad cars? Do you keep stats on how many times I've had to wait for a squad car because there weren't enough squad cars in the district to keep all personnel on the street at shift change? Have you kept track of my stats when the computers are down and running slow and how much time was wasted in the station because of that? Oh you have kept those stats? then my stats are great!!

By the way, can I get time due this weekend because you know with these 4 and 2 schedules I only get one weekend off every six weeks and my spouse and kids would like to do something for the holidays, I'm also in a day -off group which, believe it or not, hasn't had the holidays off in something like three years!! I've really built up a lot of time due from going to court making arrests and I would like to use some of my compensatory time this weekend? What.... time due denied this weekend due to manpower shortages?? By the way, do you keep stats on how often I've been denied time due? Those stats are pretty high too Ed.....

Also, while you are at that computer checking my stats, would you mind taking care of that scandal about the cheating lieutenants?? It's really hurting my morale, and you know, I just don't feel like going out doing ISRs so that a bunch of politically connected incompetents can pat themselves on the back at my expense, especially when yesterday you told the media that one of my fellow officers should have shot a perpetrator high on PCP and last week you fired another officer who did shoot a perpetrator high on PCP??? Your statements to the public on appropriate use of force is two-faced, contradictory, and morally wrong......

Oooops got another call.... real people are calling for police service again. Gotta go--see you at checkoff.

That explains why the 025th district commander went on a psychotic rant about how us gang and tac team officers need to stop the shootings and violence. He didn't like it too much when two homies got capped today in the 30 sector. I'm an old hair gel now, so I don't need this bullshit anymore. Me and my partner are not going to leave, we are just going to bring in zeroes until they dump us. Good luck filling the spots. 025 is just a hair short of using reverse senority to fill those tactical spots. I really feel like a sucker now after I had to fork over 150 bucks for me and my wife to go to the mandatory district christmas party.

Well In 025 our commanders idea of leadership is keeping all 30 sector cars on their beat and assigning all extra cars to North Ave. which creates an immediate backlog for the entire night immediately after roll call.
No one can leave without face to face relief which basically means your lucky if you can get your 30 at a decent time.
Domestics over the time (over 2 hours) traffic accidents piled up. Don't hear shit from the gang or tac teams
This guy is a complete idiot... we must have including any outside units 10-12 cars assigned to North Ave.
Then he comes down to roll call and tells us where gang dispersals are at on North and how we shouldn't be afraid to stop these guys!! When he left everyone started laughing
And our captain is even worse... he doesn't make eye contact when he speaks to anyone he's in way over his head and he totally knows it.
No confidence in himself whatsoever
The both of them are complete fucken idiots!

What got this department in trouble in the first place? The numbers game (contact cards). Now pushing ISRs? Ain't happening. Why would I stop anyone? If it turns to shit and I use justified proper force, Eddie will strip me. I'm not going through that. Maybe if you had some balls Eddie cops would stop people. But when one must police in fear, always looking over their shoulder waiting for you to strip them and feed them to the media wolves, you get what you have today. You let Rahm, Pfleger, ja'mal and Lemon control you. You're a fraud Eddie. You are the weak leader. Waller is a leader but I would never wish this job on him. So Eddie, I'll answer the radio.

Get all this shit and put it on paper, time, dates, who was there. Once that is thrown in their faces they will piss themselves. Threaten these assholes with Dept of Justice notification.

Wasn't a sticking point to this police reform that the stop and frisk was not going to be allowed anymore ? As you stated in your post that the special one has stripped numerous officers and in at least one incident he stripped the officers , because he was told to by that idiot from the BLM movement. If you have a functioning brain and already know how this game is played , then why would you jepordize your job , so Special Ed can get some bullshit numbers that don't mean anything. Hey Ed, this culture of gangs and drugs and anti police rhetoric is beyond fixing. The politicians and part of America sold their soul and wished and fought for police reform . However , as time goes by it is apparent that the police were never the problem. This is the police department that the politicians wanted and by golly they got it. So , go yell and scream at them for putting the brakes on policing. My crystal ball tells me that 2017 will be way worse than 2016 in regards to violence.

the definition of leadership


Featured from the National Museum of the Marine Corps Museum’s Facebook Page
A couple of months ago, when I told General Krulak, the former Commandant of the Marine Corps, now the chair of the Naval Academy Board of Visitors, that we were having General Mattis speak this evening, he said, “Let me tell you a Jim Mattis story.” General Krulak said, when he was Commandant of the Marine Corps, every year, starting about a week before Christmas, he and his wife would bake hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of Christmas cookies. They would package them in small bundles.
Then on Christmas day, he would load his vehicle. At about 4 a.m., General Krulak would drive himself to every Marine guard post in the Washington-Annapolis-Baltimore area and deliver a small package of Christmas cookies to whatever Marines were pulling guard duty that day. He said that one year, he had gone down to Quantico as one of his stops to deliver Christmas cookies to the Marines on guard duty. He went to the command center and gave a package to the lance corporal who was on duty.
He asked, “Who’s the officer of the day?” The lance corporal said, “Sir, it’s Brigadier General Mattis.” And General Krulak said, “No, no, no. I know who General Mattis is. I mean, who’s the officer of the day today, Christmas day?” The lance corporal, feeling a little anxious, said, “Sir, it is Brigadier General Mattis.”
General Krulak said that, about that time, he spotted in the back room a cot, or a daybed. He said, “No, Lance Corporal. Who slept in that bed last night?” The lance corporal said, “Sir, it was Brigadier General Mattis.”
About that time, General Krulak said that General Mattis came in, in a duty uniform with a sword, and General Krulak said, “Jim, what are you doing here on Christmas day? Why do you have duty?” General Mattis told him that the young officer who was scheduled to have duty on Christmas day had a family, and General Mattis decided it was better for the young officer to spend Christmas Day with his family, and so he chose to have duty on Christmas Day.
General Krulak said, “That’s the kind of officer that Jim Mattis is.”
The story above was told by Dr. Albert C. Pierce, the Director of the Center for the Study of Professional Military Ethics at The United States Naval Academy. He was introducing General James Mattis who gave a lecture on Ethical Challenges in Contemporary Conflict in the spring of 2006. This was taken from the transcript of that lecture.

One thing that has been observed is that the Commanders in the worse districts never send emails pertaining to shootings anymore. When McCarthy was the Supt they all were on pins and needles and all of them sent detailed emails whenever a shooting occurred. I wonder what if anything these Commanders do now.................and why is Waller apologizing?? He ensured all of his favorites were over promoted................what exactly does Elgin Holt do to earn his Exempt pay, or does he still sleep thru everything like he did when he was in the Detective Division?

It all started in 1988 during a big sergeants promotion- walked in a group because a certain ethnic group was not well represented. Then in 1995 the famous Arthur Andersen test, results once again were not PC- in walked the first real merits. Down hill from there.
Something to be said about the ability to read and write, maybe even have an original thought.

As usual people report shit wrong. First of all he never said dump he said move around like chess pieces, because nobody gets dumped anymore. He never mentioned anything about missions, what he did talk about was the 6 police officers that have been shot at in the last week and 1/2 and that we could be going to 6 funerals. Also about the off duty guy up north, that walked out of his house and saw some
Idiots tagging a garage. The off duty guy was like wtf?! Well these assholes took a
Shot at him. He talked about assholes not getting stopped
On the street is making them bolder and more dangerous. He gets the isr thing but related it's not going away and these assholes on the street, who we know are assholes, need to be confronted.
As far as po's not knowing the conflicts on their beat, yes he was hot about that, he has pulled up to several cars, asked them what gang conflict is in the area only to get a deer in the headlights look. He blamed that on a lack of leadership. He would like the officers to become involved, not just be like fireman and run from call to call. He also talked about commanders and xo's not engaging their people, I think his message to some was, stop being an asshole and talk to your people. Because we all know there are some condescending arrogant bosses out there who don't realize without the po's we are all fucked.
I agree 100% that we cant let these assholes think we are fetal
Or afraid to confront them, this does nothing but add to their perceived power. We can't just drive by them and continue to do nothing. If there are a group of 3,4,5 etc., call another car over. Get out engage them, talk about anything, you aren't investigating anything, your just talking to "citizens" on the street, so no isr required. But just the fact we are getting out of the cars shows them we aren't going to let them run the show. Maybe it sounds stupid, but the more we leave them
Alone the more dangerous it is for us. Before they would stand and gather, They used to
Hide guns under cars, in yards now they just keep
Them on their persons because the police aren't stopping them
Anymore.
I get po's are pissed off with a lot going on, but I want all our officers to make it home safe every night but as
You can see ,with all these recent police shootings , things are getting out of hand and we can't just sit around and do nothing.

The brass and politicians have got to back police and put laws into effect to do so. Until such time nothing will change. When you have good men and women who feel the mayor hates them and won't back them , rather use their heads for votes, and would rather take the sides of protesters, it's difficult to put yourself out there. Merit bosses who only care about their positions and who threaten good men and women what do you expect? Judges who let offenders walk free and sue the police whiles calling us the problem, what do you expect? It's not the police officers, it's the political element over the last few years that ruined this great department. Believe me , police officers want change for the better, but silly numbers aren't going to accomplish that. You want the public to trust us, police need to trust the leaders as well.

Let's face it, the game has changed and I think most of us haven't. We've done our part, paid our taxes, our monthly and yearly dues, took our promotion tests, bounced from car to car, detail to detail. But yet, sit in generally, the same position only granted with more seniority.

We have made the great arrests, solved crime, ticketed to no extent, have fought fist to cuffs on the street in effort to do our jobs....it was fun. Now the climate has changed to what is left is being politically correct to those who exercise the least of responsibility.

We've done our 25-30 years in hopes of a generally quiet retirement, but now with insurance and budget issues we are tasked to rethink our retirement. Try enjoying retirement at 70, hope your health is up to it.... Mushy peas and strained steak.....enjoy

When can one relax? When can one finally exercise a little non-responsibility as so many other citizens who are benefiting from our (and other taxpayers) working toil? Oh....I forgot "the medical"

This "New" crap is getting old, especially with the time (and effort) we've already put in.

SCC,

first big thanks for bringing this topic to the table.
Second, it's time for us to start fighting back.
With technology becoming a greater intrusion of privacy and the state siding with the public on recording the police, we need to start doing just that. We have body cameras, cellphones, go pro cameras, and tons of other devices to do such things as recording video and audio. We put our asses on the lines for these ungrateful bastards and it's time to start fighting back. We need to begin documenting and relaying all recorded transmissions of these threats to the FOP, Feds, local and national media outlets. This superintendent is more concerned with fighting us than he is making sure the city is safe and that we get home safely to our families. If a few low level bosses get outside powers breathing down their necks then maybe the madness will subside. These are things the union should be doing, keeping us safe and employed. Not long ago coppers had the same problem we face today. Some brave men stood up and called out the city on their bullshit which gave birth to an organization we know to be the FOP. Working coppers (and I don't mean hard chargers) should be attending meetings and calling this to their attention.

Hey Over Fed Ed you reap what you sow! This is what you get when you turn the Department over to the ACLU and take advice from a two bit punk activist who should be in jail instead of having your personal cell number. This is what happens when you and your predacessors continually promote your unqualified friends and relatives. Hell, your girlfriend and her friends blatantly cheated on the LT exam and nothing comes of it other then they get promoted. The people on the bottom aren't stupid. We see what is happening. You can break up partners and all that other BS, but who cares? I'd rather lose my partner then my job, my home, and possibly my freedom. I'll leave you with this, GFYS!

Citizen here - Working in one of the worst neighborhoods I still can depend on our police when we need them. Love our police. You call it blue shirts winning I call it God is in charge and until the powers that be come over to Gods way the violence will continue. It is not a police problem, although you deal with the results of that problem, which you all know is no parent accountability in areas of poverty and war zones. Just where we need it the most is where parent oversight is the least. Corruption hurts those in poverty most because nothing changes as all monies come laden with strings that benefit someones pocket not solutions.Then our Police have been used as pawns, blamed for the problem and treated horribly by our nation, but many others like me see the truth and appreciate our LEO's and see the ocean of good in you, not the trickle of abuse of power that exists in every profession across the globe. Whatever fetal means to you I still see our police doing their jobs and protecting us all, so thank you for your service. Good always wins in the end so hang in there!

Well done, SCC. Some sage advice for the blue shirts. And just what does Fat Head Ed expect the Gold Star Clown Brigade to do? If he expects them to ride alone and draw "random fire" which will start a SWAT call out similar to last week he has to be clueless.
I hate to say it - but the only thing which will bring some sense to this shit show is if an Officer is slain. For two weeks he can use the tragedy to mumble on tv interviews about how concerned he is and "his" force is doing something. Then after the somber faces and ceremonies - things will return to SOP. Threats, intimidation, and stripping the next white shirt involved in the next media decreed bad shooting.
Hey Rahm - are you getting Fat Head's replacement lined up BEFORE you fire him? And don't try to shove Granny Clampett down our throats since she's already proved herself incompetent with drafting the new Use of Force policy. And bringing her desk dolly here and putting her on the payroll shows that she's not the reformer that she claims to be.

We are approaching a CRUCIAL time, and Blue Shirts must continue and increase their efforts to do nothing more than answer your calls! Shit does roll downhill and it is rolling now. 9.5 was in D.C. and N.Y. this week trying to show he was a "Big" Guy and has a brother named Ari, who is even Bigger. Yet, he was surely greeted with the question of how can 4,100 people have been shot in YOUR city this year. (And we are not even talking about the homicides). We are not even citing the specific insanity, like the recent Road Rage incident in the 005th District where the driver, jumped on an 18 Wheeler and started shooting into the cab! But the truck driver was not hit, so it was apparently not newsworthy! McCarthy was right the other day when he gave a speech and clearly stated that if you don't to Proactive Policing, an element will drive around with their weapons and use them. If you even remotely thought, that cops would randomly stop and frisk you, there would be a reluctance to carry your weapon. But today, it is unlikely that you will be stopped and frisked randomly, BECAUSE ANY COP THAT DOES THAT IS RISKING HIS/HER CAREER AND FAMILY. AND RAHM DID THIS BY SURRENDERING TO THE ACLU AND DOJ. AND RAHM IS STARTING TO REALIZE THAT IT IS NOW KNOWN NATIONWIDE. The tough Lil Putz gave a reporter the finger while in D.C., an act of utter frustration by a Has Been, who thought he would shine on the national stage. The concealment of the McDonald video has destroyed Rahm's National Ambitions, and the trial will be his Political Obituary. If Van Dyke's attorneys, or Sgt. Franko's attorneys start to depose McCarthy and his Command Staff all of whom saw the video the next day, and found nothing wrong; How Then Can You say more than a year later that the officers involved did wrong? DO NOTHING MORE THAN ANSWER CALLS, IF A BOSS COMES OUT THERE AND STARTS ASKING FOR YOU TO STOP PEOPLE, MAKE ABSOLUTELY SURE THAT YOU CITE THE NAME, RANK AND STAR OF THAT BOSS. IF SOMEONE TRIES TO STOP YOU, CALL THE FOP. A lot of things USED to get done without documentation because there was "Trust", those days are gone! Every Blue Shirt and Sergeants as well is on his/her own. To Rahm the Whole Chicago Police Department is Deplorable and Expendable, don't make yourself a casualty. F&ck The Tough Guy from Wilmette and his Wilmette/Chicago values. I can't even imagine what it must be like to guard Rahm. You risk your life for some condescending Turd, who detests you; Wow!

However, working hard and doing the right thIng puts us on trial and our families in the cross hairs of every libtard and racist with an axe to grind. I don't know what the answer is, but I do know that I'm NOT proud of the stance we've been forced to take, and I'm ashamed of those on the Department who CELEBRATE "staying fetal" - it is a horrible position that has been thrust upon our whole profession. We better examine the, "we're winning" celebration of staying fetal and ask ourselves WHAT we're winning, and WHAT we expect the outcome to be.

because they have rules to abide by.

9. Every black life taken by a policeman is sacred, the other 730 aren't apparently

"NEVER EVER meet with a Sergeant / Watch Lieutenant / Captain / Commander alone where he or she can threaten you."


What a ridiculous statement. If you're given an order to report to the W/C or Commander's office what are you going to do, bring your partner or watch rep with you? So let's say you do just that, then the boss tells you to step in and close the door. Are you going to refuse unless your witness is present? You don't have the right to refuse an order. And you don't have the right to have a "representative" present since it's not part of an investigation or hearing. This is very bad advice that could get someone a big suspension for disobeying an order. I've seen first hand someone refuse to report to the Sergeant's office when ordered to do so and they got 30 days for disobeying a direct order after the CR investigation was completed.

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-girls-violence-chicago-met-20161210-story.html

excerpts:
This year's surge in homicides to levels unseen in two decades shines a light on the risks so many boys and young men face each day in Chicago's toughest neighborhoods. But far less often told or understood are the stories of girls and young women who witness the violence up close or end up in the middle of the conflict themselves.

(Parenting would help, the reverends in your area could take a stand, maybe Louis Farrakhan could send his team of badass looking bow tie soldiers like he did before to scare the shit out of the thugs)

Girls and young women are far more often the victims of violence than the perpetrators. Through about the first eight months of 2016, 850 girls aged 17 and under were victims of an array of violent crimes, including homicides, aggravated batteries and robberies, according to Chicago police records.
(this another national disgrace as youir mayor and the 50 stooges hold their collective heads high, then you have toni in her "crazy in the membrane" thinking lets the thugs out by ordering the corrupt judicial system to free them to cause more murder and mayhem, lastly tommy "puppy dog"dart who would not know a criminal from a door knob is tearing down the county jail no doubt to allow a connected friend to get the land cheaply the crook county way! These people should feel your angst and anger and the direction would be proper they caused this and then again the 24/7 dishonest media praising the thuglife and bashing the police adds quickly to the demise of this once great city)

With violence at its worst levels since the late 1990s, shootings have soared by some 50 percent to more than 4,100 victims as of last week. About 435 of them were female, 10.6 percent of the total.
(Any person in control like rahm and rauner and the rest would be appalled and send in the resources needed to stem this extreme violence,if we need national guard so be it,rahm pathetically stands on the pedestal not to do the ballerina moves but to lie and tell us everything is great as police hiring is extremely and as the article implies mayhem inducing lows,this is national news everyday and you see rahm laughing and drinking like a goof)

"Everywhere you go you have to watch where you're going because you never know," one said. "… There's a lot of young girls my age getting shot or killed because of violence. … So I just think that could have been me. That's what I worry about."

(What a disgrace was watching something where a 13 year old black kid said when asked what are most proud of that you did this past summer his reply sadly was "I was happy i did not get shot" sorry mayor and the 50 you have done this a fucking disgrace but then again mayor your own son was robbed and you showed the citizens how to be while the police caught the thug you decided not to prosecute, then you stool up to keep the illegal invader criminals here handing them 1 million is tax rebate money for lawyers something stinks here mayor and it sure aint the dead fish!)

"NEVER EVER meet with a Sergeant / Watch Lieutenant / Captain / Commander alone where he or she can threaten you."


What a ridiculous statement. If you're given an order to report to the W/C or Commander's office what are you going to do, bring your partner or watch rep with you? So let's say you do just that, then the boss tells you to step in and close the door. Are you going to refuse unless your witness is present? You don't have the right to refuse an order. And you don't have the right to have a "representative" present since it's not part of an investigation or hearing. This is very bad advice that could get someone a big suspension for disobeying an order. I've seen first hand someone refuse to report to the Sergeant's office when ordered to do so and they got 30 days for disobeying a direct order after the CR investigation was completed.

SCC, you're generally on point but on this one you're way off. You should think through your advise before posting.

You need to re-read the Weingarten Rights. If management is threatening to dump from a Unit or change partners or start times if you do not Produce ISR...that is darn well covered by your CBA right to have a Steward Present.

It all started in 1988 during a big sergeants promotion- walked in a group because a certain ethnic group was not well represented. Then in 1995 the famous Arthur Andersen test, results once again were not PC- in walked the first real merits. Down hill from there.
Something to be said about the ability to read and write, maybe even have an original thought.

There was no sergeants test or class made in 95. The test was in 93 and they made a 100 in 94, 250 in 96. None of those was merit.

What is the rule on recording with a personal device? My understanding is that we couldn't.

What would be nice is if someone with more experience and legal expertise could put together our own type of "playbook" for recording/documenting the inevitable pressure that's going to be happening in roll calls to bring in more numbers. This way, we could have several people in each roll call with undeniable proof of it.

that's what they get for letting the ACLU and BLM run the department. Repeal or amend SB 1304 or nothing will change. They are getting what they deserve.. "At the state level, we have advocated for the Illinois General Assembly to improve police accountability by (1) removing the sworn affidavit requirement to file a citizen complaint and prevent the destruction of police misconduct records; (2) creating clear policy guidelines for police body-worn cameras; and (3) ending stop and frisk discriminatory practices." So they won Now choke on it

It is fact that the Rham(father) has given S(t)uP-Ed, Navaro and Waller till March to get this violence under control or they are OUT. Welch is done because of his incompetence dating years back as Deputy Chief of IAD. Rousell; Riccio and Carter have been secretly scheming (starting w Escalante's letter before he left) this administrations demise. Granny has been promised the #2 spot leaving #1 for a "one" again to keep Michelle Harris and the Black Caucus happy. Rham still believes he can pull out another term by throwing the upper command staff under the bus like he did with Garry. What Rham doesn't realize is that Preckwinkle, Kurt Summers, the Black Caucus and some key players have been doing their own scheming behind closed doors. Careful you don't fall prey to your own devices Mr Mayor. Sometimes you can't see whats starring at you right in your face, under your nose and in plain sight.

I simply don't give a fuck and don't owe anyone shit, the department has made that perfectly clear to me. Now I will reward people who work, as long as they are not fucking morons,but I refuse to tell people to go set the world on fire because Kim Foxx will have at least one Mosby style lynchings in the next 4 years.

If you want to see just how things have changed then look at the arrest que's for the different districts. Event the busy districts like 10, 11, 007, (all the south side districts, need I say more), 015, 025, etc. arrests are down big time. I remember how in 011 on 3rd watch we would have like 15 to 20 arrests on a daily consistent basis. Now it is down to 3 to 7 and 70% are domestics or other signed complaints.

People got used to the police going ABOVE AND BEYOND what they are required to do. Now? Police are doing what they are 'supposed' to do. I don't hear people screaming that the ambulance crews aren't stopping people in high sickness areas asking how they are feeling, or scream that the fire dept isn't aggressively patrolling, peering in windows and running surveillance looking for a potential fire... so guess what? The police respond to calls, stop crimes in progress, and cut paper for the rest. Hence the term first RESPONDER, not first PREVENTER. That is the crux of the issue. The brass can't ask for proactivity BECAUSE WE AREN'T ALLOWED TO BY DESIGN. So there you have it. You asked for it Chicago, you friggin got it... The boys in blue are doing EXACTLY what you wanted. Cross the T's, dot the I's. Enjoy the 700 plus body count and rest easy knowing that the police are finally under control.

Then again, white police are racists and there's too many brown people with trust issues getting stopped and harassed no no reason.

So although I'll go along that there are indeed some meritcloutorius asshole bosses out there making veiled threats about lack of activity, there are just as many PO's out there STILL doing stupid shit like trying to engage in a pursuit over a f*ucking PROPERTY crime.

On another note, just because a copper has a "deer in the headlights" look when asked about trending gang conflicts does NOT mean that his bosses aren't talking about the problem. What it means is that the COPPER is CHOOSING to a) not listen or b) not respond because they really don't give a fuck anymore. That is NOT a lack of leadership at the district level. That is a reflection of lack of leadership at a much higher level. So OWN IT, big boy.

You can't instill or teach at the police academy common sense, ability and desire to acquire on the job knowledge by actually doing the job, good people skills, reading comprehension, writing or speaking of the English language. These are the building blocks or foundation of a good police officer as well as a good supervisor. Our supervisors here in Chicago believe that the slugs that they promote will somehow mysteriously acquire these skills they never possessed. A strong foundation is the only thing to build on.

Hiya boss...

You ARE a boss...
Right?

Any boss worth the ink on their paper isn't going to
be afraid to properly supervise, admonish, correct
or discipline a subordinate in front of witnesses of
the subordinate's choosing.

Right?

How many Coppers are on the receiving end of this
dilemma when they're "called in" and there are 2, 3,
or more supervisors crowded in the Watch Commander's
office as adversarial witnesses?

You one-way m/fers are nearing the end of having this
both ways...

Hiding behind your rank to demean, disrespect, bully,
harass, intimidate and even retaliate against subordinate
officers somehow qualifies as "supervision" to the miserable
less-than-human beings who survive and thrive on creating
a poisonous work environment.

To the utter amazement to the rational people still on this job,
such is tolerated in L.E. Management but people who pull
similar escapades in the private sector are sanctioned,
terminated, sued/prosecuted and even imprisoned for
mistreating their subordinates the way some of these
so-called Police bosses mistreat their subordinates.

>Some nitwit plays the "suck-it-up/stop being a pussy/
you know what you signed-up for" card<

Condition of employment does not mean
being doomed to de-facto second class
citizenship and tolerating being demeaned
and mistreated because some insecure
boss wants you to "come in and close the door."

If your actions as a supervisor are above board,
then you wouldn't have a problem with witnesses
or even being recorded.

Or are you afraid that coppers recording the dumb,
unethical, illegal shit you say/do will strip you of your
cherished plausible deniability when coppers have
cause to obtain a CR# or even generate a GOCR?

It's past time bad supervisors are made to pay
for the way they play.

They are free and clear of all responsibility. Just ask all the guys jammed up in Van Dyke. Brass walked away with all their money.

Just looked at Sunday's Sun-Times interesting looking like the "dishonest media" is turning on rahm the ballerinas lies! the 970 coppers he is hiring (The media as usual must be getting their news from this insignificant blog) are nowhere near keeping pace with attrition but yet rahm hires another deputy chief of staff for $185,000 a year and gives away 1 million in tax rebate money to defend the illegal criminals the nose is growing longer than Pinocchio! It is amazing rahms hand fed media is turning on him could it be the "Trump effect?"

We stick together through this titanic like attack on each 1 of us we can finally claim victory and hopefully God willing Trump sends in the doj to help gut the elected at city hall and looks into the cheating scandals on cpd and the promotion practice of simpletons in charge! Not long ago a gold star commanded respect and work was done, now they are little more than clouted looking for that big pension payment just look at penny trahanus from another thread arrested killing dogs and she remains in a position to attack and discipline coppers what ignorant clown keeps her here? What odes she have on the bosses? the doj needs to sit her ass down and talk to her and whoever her clout is because whatever she knows about scandalous behavior must be monumental!

The command staff the few that actually want to do the job look at penny and know they are just window dressing, pinning earrings on a pig!

100% agree with you SCC! Bosses will continue to bribe PO's especially the young ones, to do more isrs and create more activity. Not sure what districts now have body cameras, but if a boss is demanding activity and making threats if it is not accomplished, then turn on your body camera and record what he is saying. There are plenty of laws that relate to the workplace, and the General Order on body cameras says anytime an investigation of a crime is occurring or about to occur, that the body camera must be turned on, so turn it on then. Everyone stay safe.

To the unpublished, reading comprehension challenged moron:

We didn't blame the FOP. We correctly pointed out that by Contract, they cannot advocate or back a "job action" and this "stay fetal" action is a completely grass-root type effort.

So take your "blaming" and stick it where the sun doesn't shine Asshat.

What is the rule on recording with a personal device? My understanding is that we couldn't.

What would be nice is if someone with more experience and legal expertise could put together our own type of "playbook" for recording/documenting the inevitable pressure that's going to be happening in roll calls to bring in more numbers. This way, we could have several people in each roll call with undeniable proof of it.

"How to Protect Yourself From A Bad Police Boss?"

Been looking at this issue and mulling over it for a while.

The best we could come up with is, fuck 'em...
Record the encounter anyway but study the recording
and script a detailed extract in the form of a To-From-Subject
and make multiple copies of it. No one HAS to know you recorded
and they'll be all fucked-up when your extract sees the light of day
in the hands of a federal prosecutor or a judge.

Keep your actual recording of the incident in a secured place.

You guys should pool your resources and not only have attack-dog
lawyers on retainer but P.I.s as well...

Bad bosses can have their phones tapped, their garbage rifled,
their hijinks recorded for posterity and so on.

If you Policemen are going to fight.
Fight dirty and watch these bastards
sue for peace when they get a fucked-up
8x11 manila folder slid under their door.

"Awww c'mon guys! You know it was all just bullshit, right?
Why be so mad and take this so far?"

FOP is as helpful and useful as a cow with a cock...

POTUS Hussein started this with the traffic statistical study when he was in the state senate. He considers the police to be a colonial occupying army oppressing his people. That attitude went national on 20 Jan 09.

He hates us more then he loves his own.

All the lesser demons, like Hillary and Rahm need to follow him or face the wrath of Hussein's mobs.

Not a cop but worked for the COC too. Your job is far more dangerous than the job I had. You described the fuckery and stupidity practiced by the managers perfectly. Most of the political hack attacks are johnny come latelys that don't know their ass from a hole in the ground.

This is my last winter in Chicago. Getting my place ready to sell this spring. Don't want to be around to be fleeced when Rahm loses federal funding protecting his illegal dreamers. Pisses me off that they got a free ride while the kids in my family have loans to pay off.

Trump could spend years here draining the Chicago swamp. We've got a motherload of swamp creatures to choose from.

Don't jeopardize your futures. Screw the liberals that voted in Kimisha Foxx.

What would be even nicer is if someone who is supposedly trained to enforce the laws within the ILCS was actually able to read them. Is it really that hard to look up the relevant laws for the questions you have? I was just able to do it within a second using google. Here it is for you and everyone else who doesn't get it:

"(720 ILCS 5/14-2) (from Ch. 38, par. 14-2)
Sec. 14-2. Elements of the offense; affirmative defense.
(a) A person commits eavesdropping when he or she knowingly and intentionally:
(1) Uses an eavesdropping device, in a surreptitious

manner, for the purpose of overhearing, transmitting, or recording all or any part of any private conversation to which he or she is not a party unless he or she does so with the consent of all of the parties to the private conversation;
(2) Uses an eavesdropping device, in a surreptitious

manner, for the purpose of transmitting or recording all or any part of any private conversation to which he or she is a party unless he or she does so with the consent of all other parties to the private conversation;
(3) Intercepts, records, or transcribes, in a

surreptitious manner, any private electronic communication to which he or she is not a party unless he or she does so with the consent of all parties to the private electronic communication;
(4) Manufactures, assembles, distributes, or

possesses any electronic, mechanical, eavesdropping, or other device knowing that or having reason to know that the design of the device renders it primarily useful for the purpose of the surreptitious overhearing, transmitting, or recording of private conversations or the interception, or transcription of private electronic communications and the intended or actual use of the device is contrary to the provisions of this Article; or
(5) Uses or discloses any information which he or she knows or reasonably should know was obtained from a private conversation or private electronic communication in violation of this Article, unless he or she does so with the consent of all of the parties."

For those of you who are unable or unwilling to look this shit up, eavesdropping is a FELONY. So, keep suggesting and planning these recordings. Keep thinking it will somehow help you with some lawsuit or whatever your goal is. Then I'll laugh at your stupid asses as you're fired and charged with felonies. Now I'll let you find the relevant general orders for yourselves. Here's a hint though: you can't record roll calls with your body cams or your cell phones. IDIOTS!

So JVD is charged with murder for shooting a punk high on pcp who smashed car windows, terrorized citizens, slashed at a police car, ran from one set of police officers and TOWARD (in the direction of) another set of police officers..... but another officer, a female, is told she could have fired her weapon at a subject high on pcp who had just crashed into a building, walked away and when stopped began pounding her head into the ground......

what are some differences between the two?

male officer and female officer?

female officer took a beating before she was told she could have fired her weapon.... question for the supe--would she have been justified in shooting the perp before he began to beat her (with the benefit of hindsight)? Do you have to be getting your ass beat before you can shoot? or wait until you are near death before you can shoot?

You can't instill or teach at the police academy common sense, ability and desire to acquire on the job knowledge by actually doing the job, good people skills, reading comprehension, writing or speaking of the English language. These are the building blocks or foundation of a good police officer as well as a good supervisor. Our supervisors here in Chicago believe that the slugs that they promote will somehow mysteriously acquire these skills they never possessed. A strong foundation is the only thing to build on. When you build on mud your building will eventually fail and that's where we are today.

Our families possibly get hurt when a fetal cop responds to their call for help. I get trying to stay out of trouble but we are putting ourselves in further peril by doing nothing, we are making these bangers feel untouchable. They are all carrying guns now because we don't stop them, they have no fear of us anymore, we are attacked, battered, resisted at levels never before seen, we are shot at now at an alarming rate, so staying fetal isn't the answer, but what is?
We need to get control back, and to do so we need to be backed from our sgts all the way up to city hall and beyond.. Sadly, the backing at the political level is not and will not be there, unless something drastic happens, term limits maybe?

If nothing is going to change then we need to be able to live elsewhere..

Fight for your life when you have to, but avoiding situations that require you to fight will help you keep your job.


Just remember people, the more we stay fetal the more harm comes to us; batteries to po, resisting will get worse as these bangers are emboldened to think they can do what they want with no fear of us. Let's not forget the near daily occurrence of being shot at as well. I'm not sure what the answer is either but I don't thinking laying down will help us stay safe any longer. I agree everyone is in preservation mode but our safety is increasingly in jeopardy. Anyone have any real thoughts on this?
