Distraction Ploy Fails
This guy just blew a lot of credibility with the rank-and-file:
- Chicago Police Department Commander Kevin Duffin said, “Kids make stupid decisions — I shouldn’t call them kids, they’re legally adults. But they’re young adults and they make stupid decisions.”
We don't know who told Duffin to say this....oh, who are we kidding? Of course, Rahm told people to downplay this. But then the alternative media got a hold of it and the video hit Drudge and YouTube tried to ban it but not before it was saved and uploaded hundreds of thousands of times and a White House Petition was started demanding Federal Civil Rights charges.
And then suddenly, at the 47th-hour, charges were suddenly approved by Foxx's office, negating everything about "stupid decisions."
If you remove a mentally handicapped individual from his suburban environs, restrain him in an unknown location, taunt his parents via cell phone messages, record and post what can only be described as sub-human behavior in a 30-minute video, you aren't making a "stupid decision." You are making a concerned and conscious effort to show your disregard for another human being and recording it because you are that confident of avoiding responsibility.
Now where could they have gotten that idea?

Adios Duffin! report to the pension board in the morning. Good guy, but this is what happens when you score 380 on the list.
Special (needs) Ed said it first in an earlier meeting.
And they didn't "cut" his scalp. They tried to scalp him. Now is it okay to call these youthful sociopaths savages?
Kevin Duffin, Chicago Police Commander (OMG) Duffin always followed whomever would further his career, Signed. 20 year detective who worked with him in 007 and then in an area when he got promoted to Sgt and came to the area. Funny thing he was never a Detective. Good guy to drink with though. He is as shaky as they come, big talk no balls in front of the administration.
As if the superintendent of police in this city couldn't make himself and his command staff any more ineffective and, unfortunately, straight idiotic, they did. In an attempt to downplay what is an obvious horrific crime they stopped to an alltime low with their cowardly weak statements in regards to the "kids" that perpetrated this "mistake." The Chicago Police Department and the city in general is a fucking embarrassment to the country. Regardless of your political opinion, and this isn't political, the incident is disgusting and, once again, shows how much of a pandering clown our superintendent is. It's shameful and it would be laughable but, at this point, it's far beyond laughable. It's an epidemic of incompetency and cowardice. I'm glad the mayor, the supe and all of the command staff that fall in line with this shitshow sleep well at night. They've truly facilitated and embraced this type of behavior regardless of their constant back pedaling in their comments. Good night assholes
bonehead. If the supe told you "don't say hate crime"---then don't say it, but why talk as if it was not one.
Describe the acts, charges being determined.Thank heavens Trahanas is there to step up when he leaves.
Absolutely sickening statement from Duffin. 4 savages did this. Animals don't act like that. Savages do. Black, white, brown, purple or green...if you behave like these four did, you're a savage and you need to be treated as such.
Duffin is done. He will be moved to 35th street soon to hide. Next commander of area north will be named shortly.
The shame of it is that Duffin has always been considered a good boss. Gold stars do that to people, even good people
Nothing more asinine could have come out of Duffin's mouth, purely pathetic and an embarrassment to the Chicago police department.Time to return to your south side closet Kev...
Duffins mustache is a crime
Apparently the higher one goes in rank on this job, the dumber one gets. Maybe Kevin should have stayed a Lieutenant.
Can you imagine the fallout, if the races of the victim and perpetrators had been reversed, and a boss said that???
WOW!!!
Never seen duffin do anything but help coppers, this statement is very distribing. Iets see if he gets Promoted anytime soon. I mean Devereux got smacked by that little asshole and all of a sudden he's a deputy.
Thank you SCC for pointing this out. I said same exact thing when I heard him say this. Different rules for different races. Sad to say 18 year old adults make childish choices….Its embarrassing. ….Is this guy a cop or a lib?
Fuck Duffin did you hear special big head Ed trying to downplay the hate crime as if it wernt one wtf?!?!? This guy truly disappointed a lot of people turned out to be a fucking handjob! You cant even back us up on bs policies that their trying to push through fuck you eddie you piece of shit with all the skeletons in your closet yet your quick to strip officers you fucking hypocritical scumbag!!!!
Mr. Duffin, do the right thing and resign. People, who make statements like you did, are the reason the department is in the toilet. The rank and file doesn't trust you now, and never will again. Go, and make way for the next merit, useless, ass kisser. It appears that is what is pinned to most gold stars, these days.
Sorta like when 2 tac guys from 010 were stripped for effecting an arrest where one copper was getting choked and they RWOC initially. Then someone had the balls to do the right thing and put pressure on these morons we call bosses.
And these fuckers will smile to your face and say politics and public opinion doesn't drive policy. Sad part: if this fucking thing wasn't on social media first where it gained traction, there would have never been any real charging at all. Now the whole world knows how fucking stupidly inept this dept is and how it changes its decisions according to the way the political winds blow.
I surely hope all four of these mopes spend some quality time in prison. But, something tells me it won't happen, at least for the females anyway. These girls are as much responsible as the males and egged them on. But, it is a firm belief among certain circles that blacks just cannot be racists.
I'm pleasantly surprised by the charges but feel that the "powers that be"(Rahm, Fox and FatHeadEd) were trying really hard to downplay this and avoid hate crime charges.
With videos that go viral the way they do nowadays as hard as Rahm tried he couldn't control this one so he wound up doing an about face and agreeing to charges.
This still reeks of racist double standards though.
I've known Kevin for 15 years personaly. I have never worked for him. I as a north sider wish I met more gentlemen like him.
He didn't Cow Tow, he didn't sell out. The COMMNDER probably was a little more in the loop then you. Shocking as that is.
Ever dawn on you that he didn't want to light the match to spark a fire??
One has to wonder if the suburban department [Bartlett PD ?] had not been involved.
Would CPD have buried this as a 19Paul bad decision ????
And they play the angle of least resistance .........It will be hate crime against a handicapped person, forget the audio part of the vid right ? And here in lies Odumbo's biggest sin and why the country descends into a divide. It's clear to anyone who sees the video what the intent and result are but instead of some type of even handed attempt at justice we clearly get excuses for subhuman behavior and justification of something vile based on who committed the crime
SCC I work down at 311. I'm an injured P.O. who got hurt in the line of duty. Short of it is when I heard Duffin with his kids comment my heart sank. I knew Duffin as a P.O. is 007 back in 1996. Had great respect for the guy and when I heard he made CMDR I said to myself "Now there's probably one guy who actually earned his way to the top."
When he came out and said that comment I about died. What is it once you put on a white shirt and get a gold star you lose all reason? It is what it is. Why the excuse making? Enough already. So after Duffin's comments went public the 311 center went crazy with calls from all of the country. We had people calling in from EVERYWHERE. It was crazy. People were calling up demanding these animals not only be charged but be charged with a hate crime accordingly. Kevin Duffin's comments enraged so many people. This not rumor; I spoke with several plus several other PCO1's as well (they are the new civilian call takers).
Anyhow after a few dozen calls we started directing them to the CCSA office and told them to ask for KIM FOXX by name and vent their frustrations towards her. I don't know if it had any influence on anything but I'm hoping so.
All I've got to say after hearing Duffin's comments is this is the day and age we now live in. This is the mentality of the double standard incumbent upon us. If it was white folks "they" would be burning down buildings and rioting in below zero weather.
To anyone looking to come on this job my advice is this; Don't. Both my ex-wife and I and police. I'm still on the job; she retired. We both talked her daughter (my step) out of applying for this job. Back in the day coppers passed the torch so to speak. Not anymore.
Well I am hoping our efforts at 311 helped sway KIM FOXX in doing the right thing.
To all my fellow coppers out there working the streets stay safe.
Special Ed and company embarrassed this department on a national scale. Just when you think they can't sink any lower.
What a douchbag! Playing politics over such a horrific incident probably hoping to get promoted higher. The city and department are sick.
FOIA all of their emails. I bet there are marching orders in there somewhere.
If I were the parent of that poor kid Id want this clown Commander removed. What an embarrassment these bosses are. I'm embarrassed to be associated with them. What a dope.
How about... This is a continuing investigation and all possible motives are being investigated. Further information will be forthcoming. DONE!!!
No fucking defenses given to the savages by the commander and superintendent. This statement did not help your "transparency ." All it did is make you look like the fucking laughingstock that we are now known to be nationally. Fuck, even the carpet bagging mother fuckers from around the country won't stay here for almost 200k a year. WTF!!!!!!
And I guarantee that pussy rahm is wishing his wife would have pulled a chris sale and shredded that fucking wedding dress.
Despite comments, Duffin is a prince. Takes care of those who work for him. Whoever calls for him to resign or go to hq because of comments must live in a glass house.
did the residents of streamwood vote for this crook county states attorney Kim fox?
Black lives Matter are targeting Kevin "Mc-Duffin"?
what "stupid decisions" these offenders made to torture this white person 18 years old mentally disabled?
what a mickey mouse pony press conference!
I've known Kevin for 15 years personaly. I have never worked for him. I as a north sider wish I met more gentlemen like him.
He didn't Cow Tow, he didn't sell out. The COMMNDER probably was a little more in the loop then you. Shocking as that is.
Ever dawn on you that he didn't want to light the match to spark a fire??
Ever dawn on you that you sound like an idiot for making excuses for this goof.
He either sold out or is just plain and simple an idiot.
Have you seen the video,tell me what else could belng in the loop change?
Why did this happen? Because the attitude described in this article is the norm in the black community.
http://taxprof.typepad.com/taxprof_blog/2017/01/jonesthe-university-of-oregon-nancy-shurtz-and-the-racial-rules-that-keep-us-apart.html
Money quote:
"Cultural rules required the kid take a beat down for his offense no matter how much he might previously have been a member of our crew. It was a painful thing to witness, knowing that the kid thought and wanted himself to be so much one of us that he would repeat a word reserved to us exclusively. And forever thereafter was the reminder that you are not really one of us even if we do have sleepovers."
3:17am.......
We didn't let them win this round. They need to be fought 24/7.
Now, we need to bird dog this case and report every move made by SA and Cook County stooge judges to alternative media and the Trump DOJ.
Drop dimes on them at every turn.
The goal is to make CPD bosses afraid to conspire with Rahm, Fox, BLM, etc.......
Lost a lot of respect for Duffin. Good guy but when u tow the party line you end up sounding like an ass.
Stupid is as stupid says.
The minute MSNBC did a story on it, everything changed.
Some questions:
Will there be a march on Michigan ave this weekend by organizations that work with special needs people to protest?
Will the local media investigate the family of this man as they did the victim of the Westside attack a few weeks ago? Obviously something had to provoke these pre-law students to abandon their bokks and go grab this guy
Was the release of the audio of the shooting on 111th rushed out to try and distract from this incident?
That statement he made was for the cameras only. He couldn't say that we are going for hate crime charges at that point. Fox would of had her defense of these assholes ready to go. Kevin is the man ! Shaky ? No not at all !!!
Defense lawyer: soooo commander Duffin this wasn't anything calculated or premeditated - it was just some young adults making dumb decisions????
anyone she Chief Staples? Unreal,she could not get any farther away from the camera,Hey Melisa,at least keeps your hands out of your pants when your standing around the news media,act at least you "give a fuck",
Wow, of all people to bash you are gonna try to bash Kevin duffin? Yeah, ok. He is one of the best bosses we have left in this department. He is a smart guy and he knows that comments to the media mean nothing and the investigation comes first. Never go out there and tell everyone that this is 100 percent a hate crime and what they should be charged with. He let his detectives do their job and let the charges speak for themselves. A lot of loudmouths and know it also here. You let the detectives do the job and when charges are approved you comment on those types of thing if proper.
Staples is genius!
Keep being quiet and just wait. Special Ed will never know what happened and his fiance will never be promoted again..
Good thing they didn't toss him out a 10th floor project window when they were finished...
Idle, mindless savagery -- one would think they'd never had any contact with white people before, and just wanted to experiment, like tearing the legs off a bug.
Not the first time.
Duffin should never have stated that !!!!!! They are not stupid they knew exactly what they were doing . Go ahead and retire!!!!!
Why aren't there charges for all of the Facebook friends who were receiving this live torture video and did nothing?
Everyone receiving this video stream who made comments were fully aware of the situation and choose to do nothing.
They're just as guilty...
18 year olds aren't 'kids' anymore, they're ADULTS.
Prob not the best time to bash. This kid had a "mental disability". You know, kinda like the ones many in the ghetto have because the doctor signed off on it and now he gets a check. The kid got picked up by hill who was his friend and they all, including the victim went out to steal cars. They ALL went back to the west side and THEY ALL got high TOGETHER. They then started to do what happened on the video, which isn't right but there is much more to the story. This wasn't just a poor defenseless kid with a severe handicap. He was really high when this video happened and was tweaking bad when he was found. He went out to steal cars, hung out with the undesirables in the city and wasn't exactly an angel in his past. His "handicap" should be taken just as serious as those in the ghetto who are diagnosed with "learning disabilities", "anger issues" and "ptsd" just so they can collect a check. Yet people are raising tens of thousands for this kid on go fund me. But hey, just like everything else on this site this is all just hearsay and rumor...
Interesting how the liberal msm describes things.
Remember the 18 yr old hulk in Ferguson was described as a "teen"...
This special needs victim was described as an 18 yr old "man"...
And to reply to: 1/06/2017 03:31:00 AM: Ever dawn on you that he didn't want to light the match to spark a fire??
And what "fire" would that be? White riots!?!?!? Hahahahaha
Been hearing what a great guy he is my whole career.....this is proof that nice guys aren't owed promotions....would definitely rather retire with respect and dignity than a fat pension and the rank and file questioning my abilities and intelligence.
380 on what list??
I got the funny feeling the incoming federal administration may use the stupid mistakes and rule the democommies put in place, like no filibusters in congress, for example to beat them silly before they start to dismantle osama obamas' rein of terror.
I'm pretty sure under Foxx that these four fools will get a plea and they will never do the time they should.
I sure would like to see the Rap sheets on these Rhode Scholars....Me thinks by just looking at their mug shots, this isn't their first time at the Rodeo.....Maybe some one out there could enlighten us.....
In my view, I want to see the basis for the hate crime charging. If they did it due to racial animus, that is the right call. If they did it based upon the victim's disability, I am going to be angry. That would be wrong and cowardly.
It's a disgrace when a Commander in the Detective Division is already acting as Defense Attorney for criminals prior to them being charged. CBS national news radio was already downplaying the seriousness of the hate crime aspect citing Chicago Police Commander Duffin saying it was likely youthful indecretion. As we all know had the roles been roles been reversed in this incident you would have Michigan Ave closed already.
Just for kicks, I listened to WVON radio last night to get their slant on the whole thing. Talk about pissed off people. To have these children charged with hate crimes is just more of the white man stepping on black youth. You must understand racism can only go one way. It's not possible for a black person to commit a racially motivated crime toward white people because black racism doesn't/can't exist.
So these racist criminals kidnap and torture a mentally challenged male white and post it boldly on the intent and they are just "kids" who made a mistake. Meanwhile, one of our coppers gives some other criminal one kick to the head to help save his partner who was fighting and being choked by said criminal and that copper was wrong (exact word from supt's own mouth) and said copper was stripped "for his own good". Someone ask that copper how he's been feeling while being in limbo.
I'm not sure what's right or wrong anymore. Best i just stay fetal.
I've known Kevin for 15 years personaly. I have never worked for him. I as a north sider wish I met more gentlemen like him.

So you know a guy for 15 years and never worked for him but want to vouch for him as a boss because you dont know shit how he works, or how he sucks up to bosses.
Yes the commander was more in the loop more than all of us, an extremely stupid statement, you forget you dont work for him.
Yes he did cow tow, he was told what to say. All four idiots were adults and what they did was disgusting. He was told to down play it and thats exactly what he did. Idiots over there didn't want to upset a certain community. Your statement of he didn't want to light a match is asinine, light what match? Do you think they were going to riot? You are a moron.
15 years on and you still dont know shit.
Kevin Duffin- No matter what you have done or will ever do, your attempt to minimize what those animals did to that poor kid will forever be your legacy. Shame on you, Ed, Rahm, the media. Not a set of balls or a conscious among you.
The victim is a human being, somebody's son, but he didnt matter to you, what did was your image and fear of hurting the feelings of a few in the Black community.

Very well said.
This just proves the point of why we say all lives matter! It is amazing that anyone in law enforcement could look at the video and hear what was said and actually question in front of the cameras if this is a hate crime. I'm not going to even suggest what would of happened if the races were different. What if this was Fat Eddies or Kimesha Foxx"s child. We already know what happens when The Tiny Dancer's kids are involved.
Duffin is a good guy and deserves the benefit of the doubt.
The Feds must charge these four POS with kidnaping and hate crimes. That is the only way justice will be served. Simply cannot trust Crook Cty judiciary.
MS
I don't agree with what Kevin Duffin said . He went along with the script that was given to him by the Mayor and Superintendant. That being said, I also know Kevin Duffin to be a good person and a good policeman. He has gone out of his way to help out a lot of policeman if he could. I prefer to dwell on all the good things that he's done rather than the one thing I don't agree with.
I have known Duffin for over 20 years. Worked with him and for him for over 10 years. I'm very disappointed in his comments. He must have been told to downplay the incident. You sold your credibility for a gold star. Sad
Kevin duffin what has happened to you? has that shiny bullshit gold star mesmerized you? did Eddie tell you he was going to slide you into that pos granny's position with a huge pay boost? Kevin you helped many coppers but this time it shows how eddie stood next to you and manipulated your strings! Observed Duffin after he left news conference still the puppet police:

Never met the man BUT I have given press conferences before. With that being said....sometimes the less you say the better. His job was to give some details of the crime, info on the investigation and any info regarding the identity of any suspect (s). These things are not really intended to GIVE INTIMATE DETAILS about your VICTIM OR specifics on the CRIME and never on your investigation angles or tips being pursued. do not put your spin on anything. Shoot straight and keep it neat and orderly. CPD tried to spin this as something is WASN'T. A minor crime. I heard a rumor that the FBI was sniffing around 011 regarding this issue and a certain W/C and LT were being held to task by the 011 Cmdr. Not too bright to try andifferent downplay such a crime. This exposed CPD and Chicago. Criminal element is out of control and the nation seen it firsthand on social media.
The bosses and powers that be were going to slide this incident under the radar with no hate crime. But international media attention caught it. The City and CPD would have been skewered had they dropped it. The local media would have let it slide but some alt-right media outlets caught it.
Since this is racial incident, where are Jesse, Sharpton and pflegler?
Lol at dude who knew Kevin for 15 years worrying about a spark to a fire. What are you worried about ? The Autistic community will burn the city down?
I watched the disgusting video and I thought it was Eddies new version of Compstat 2.0.
He is as shaky as they come, big talk no balls in front of the administration.
---------------------------------------------------
So what?
That's the Third criteria to be promoted above Sergeant.
First and second is cowardice and incompetence.
(As pointed out in another comment -- "...once again, shows how much of a pandering clown our superintendent is. It's shameful and it would be laughable but, at this point, it's far beyond laughable. It's an epidemic of incompetency and cowardice....")
Sorry, I have such a jaded view of CPD but come on, watching this crap on TV makes you wonder "who is in charge?"
Here is something to ponder - this isn't their "first rodeo". How much have these four done before screwing with this handicapped kid? Robberies? Drug possessions? Assault? Any priors?
If none, I wonder how much was swept under the rug?
None of their teachers saw any "wacky behavior" out of them? Great School system!
I'd ask about their parents, but we all know they were probably raised by either single-parent Mommy, or Auntie, or Grandma. Family structure an influence on behavior? Evidently so.
Cut the welfare to ALL their immediate family. You raised savages, not people, you don't deserve assistance.
Coddling this behavior - in ANY way, is the wrong thing to do. Make an example out of these four. Doesn't matter skin color.
Next case.
This is a hate crime and should be treated as such. What if that was your son, this makes me sick.
I watched the press conference, I did not get the emphasis on stupidity that others came away with in blog posts & editorials like this.
I have to say, these four adults were INCREDIBLY STUPID. They made some poor moral decisions about torturing another human being that are unforgivable, but let’s face it… had the one woman not been stupid enough to BROADCAST crimes in progress, we would never have heard about this.
Implicating yourself on video is a stupid thing to do. Aside from the morality, it was kind of a bonehead maneuver.
If I’m feeling generous, I’d like to think that’s what the fine officer MEANT when he talked about stupidity. But if he did, he probably wished he had chosen his words better.
Come on guys and gals, these kids "was just funin". Poor Kevin, the next hit and run victim of the Rahm Bus. Special-needs-Ed will have the tire tracks on his back soon. If this was 4 White suburban kids who kidnapped and tortured a special needs black kid from the west side, this city would be burning! Instead Rahm and Eddie tried to sweep it under the rug. A select group of media (AM 560) exposed it. Then all the liberal/progressive media had to jump on board. Hey where is father faker, jesse, and the rest of the BLM tribe now? Let me guess, this doesn't fit your narrative? SHAMEFUL! Kevin Duffin you should have called it like it is! A despicable act of cowardice and a racially motivated, predatory act of violence! To do this to any person, let alone a kid with special needs, these animals should be locked away, there is no useful place in society for them. These type of acts can not be corrected or rehabilitated. Duffin this should have been your statement, not kids funin.
Is it possible Duffin's reaction doesn't reflect political expediency or incompetence, but a sort of moral retardation?
Dindu Nuffin Duffin proved that he has not only successfully been able to suppress his gag reflex, but he knows how to go that extra mile.
Watch for this pud to show up on the States Attorneys payroll after he leaves here with his TALL pension.

Spark a fire???
He sure in the hell didn't have to say it was young adults acting stupid!
What if it was your kid???
I've known Kevin 25 yrs. He's a great guy, but he fucked up big time
All he had to say is "we're still investigating it and are consulting with the states attorney regarding appropriate charges.
!
The new State's Attorney has been strangely silent and camera shy of late.
All the big bosses on the cpd are a bunch of pussies probably got their asses kicked all through high school disagree just look how they act. Now go out and do some work they got your back.
Can't say Duffin was told what to say .. but it was painful to see a Triple merit Duffin try to downplay several serious felonies with an excuse that the adults were just kids .....
Shame on Crap Chicago ,Emanuel and the Merits
Chicago had 54 million tourists in 2016 ,,LOL putting there own safety at risk
Hey Duff, It might be time to let go. You have been a good guy and a good cop for about 35 years and I know you've always tried to do the "right thing", whatever that is. From now on you'll be seen by the unknowing only thru the prism of your unfortunate comments. I figure your mistake was trying to be all things to all people and thinking you owed the politicians more than they deserve.
Anyway the retirement checks are great and maybe the administration can find u a spot with the Park district, Streets @ San or whatever. They owe you for taking this heat. You'll need a job to keep you off of 111th street, time catches up to all of us and your health is job#1. Keep your chin up, look everyone square in the eye and be proud of your great career. None of these Internet trolls has a notion of what you've seen and done. All the best from a retired Englewood Ranger.

They were only charged with a hate crime cuz these idiots were stupid enough to post it on Facebook!!!
Hard to refute the video!
Let's call it like it is, Fat Ed and Duffin both downplayed that crime in the media accounts. That is exactly the reason this department is where it's at. Duffin has been a three time merit hack that obviously can't think on his own . Hence the reason he is merit !! That's right, it's not hard to figure out, merit hacks are the ones who MUST follow what they are told due to their indebtedness to the powers. But doing that, takes away credibility and respect. Both these idiots have lost that with the the Police who deal with this shit everyday. I would love to see their explanations continuously repeated on the media just like the our Police shootings, guaranteed a quick resignation for both !! One more thing, regarding Hanhardt, that man was tough as nails, along with most bosses and Policeman of that era, this sugar coating would NEVER have been said about a horrific crime like this. Their own people would've laughed them out of the department, I'm just sayin!!
It's a "concerted effort" , not concerned.
This reminds me of another black on white torture case that happened almost exactly 10 years ago. This other case was not considered a hate crime.
https://youtu.be/pVbtV1O1xsY?t=596
There is a suspicion, among some people, that the savages will be allowed to "plea bargain" away ALL charges / ALL jail time. The "catch and release policy" in action. Just as soon as public attention fades.
Sorry but he did sell out our race. The human race.
NYPD here.
Watched the national coverage of the outrageous "funning kids" comments of Johnson and Ruffin. In the NYPD, we would describe them as hopeless shakeboxes. If their lips move, they're lying to keep their high paying jobs and pensions. They would throw you under the bus in a heartbeat. We also noticed that the P-C azzholes are claiming that the hate crime was aimed at the vic because he was "mentally challenged". After viewing the torture tapes, only a fool would say that. They tortured him for one reason-he's WHITE.
We can't believe that your shameless pos mayor stole the retirees health care coverage. Emmanuel is even worse than our lib fvckhead de Blowzio.
The four feral savages would have been charged without hesitation...If The Duff wanted the midnight LT spot in 003 and there wouldn't be a discussion. Big surprise Rahm let Duff give an interview, but even worse was the Special Ed scripted news conference that didn't support any of the facts. Corrupt Department.
This story was buried until it hit Breitbart (many thanks to whoever contributed the tip) and Rahm was consulted immediately, as with most news related incidents. There still was some other shaky Merit Boss somewhere in the HQ chain that had their fingers in this also.
All this drama needed to end the Rahm-Special Ed shame, after the prelim today there won't be any news until Sept when the case gets tossed or plead out with 3 mos supervision at most.
How about a little transparency...LEAK THE EMAILS.
Dindu NuffinMuch Duffin took another little piece of integrity from what's left in the Bureau.
I'm in absolute shock. Never in the history of EVER, has any police commander being interviewed for television, made excuses for the accused. Particularly with such a heinous crime. It's beyond belief that any sworn officer would mouth excuses on national t.v , no less. Since when did the job entail rendering excuses? Disgusting.
I suppose John Wayne Gacy just made a mistake. Hey, who doesn't make mistakes, right?
And I'm still waiting to hear a statement from father faker, and I"m not really a rev, Jackson..Isn't that victim a member of their flock ??
IMO the ONLY reason the there were "hate crime" charges brought into this is because he is mentally challenged.
Him being white wasn't enough. If it was there would of been hate crime charges when that man got beat the day
Back in November on the west side that went viral before the people were finally caught.....ijs
I always revert to the old quote I believe attributed to Benjamin Franklin, "It's better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt." That is a quote that Commander Duffin should learn. State the facts of the case and your plan of action. Leave your opinion out of it. That being said, I've never heard any of the Detectives that work for Duffin say a bad word about the man. I hope his "stupid mistake" doesn't come back to haunt him.
I've known Kevin for 15 years personaly. I have never worked for him. I as a north sider wish I met more gentlemen like him.
He didn't Cow Tow, he didn't sell out. The COMMNDER probably was a little more in the loop then you. Shocking as that is.
Ever dawn on you that he didn't want to light the match to spark a fire?
Hey, Suck-hole: the perps lit the match! How cold hearted can you be? Good thing it was not YOUR kid duct taped in some west side hell hole. Go suck some more butt.
OT
Of course WGN's news had 5 minutes of a racial slur from a dairy queen manager in Gurnee, in what seemed to be a way to equate that with the kidnapping. The media is falling all over themselves about this.
I watched the interview and actually saw Duffin hold his words when they asked if it should be a hate crime. Special Ed kinda bumped him out of the way and gave a rambling BS answer. I have worked for Duffin when he was a Sgt, Lt and Commander. He is a good man, and really tries to do the right thing. I really believe he was told what to say by powers that be. yes, they all have to play politics to keep the gold star, but can any of you honestly say that you would have gone off script and gone against the 9.5 digit midget or Special Ed? Close to retirement and blow the pension of a gold star? I don't think so. Find it unfortunate he was put in this position.
It's the new norm and mandated accepted PC.
According to Ain't seen Nuffin or I mean Duffin.
"Theys were just playin" A disabled person with developmental age of maybe 6 years of age cannot consent to "just playin".
Where are all the hippocrites: Father Flaker, BLM, activists, political figures. A disabled man should be treated equally and protected because he could not protect himself.
Disabled people are not second class citizens!
Thank you CPD Officers for helping and protecting someone who could not protect himself.
Stay safe my utmost respect to the Officers.
This was such a huge disgrace to Rahm when this finally broke out nationwide. This sickening little video is a sign of things to come this summer.

Suck the big whazoo you pin head. More in the loop, there was a 30 min. video you dick hole. The four savages lit the match, speak the TRUTH, have some principals and balls.

Don't know Kevin and could not care less what he's done to you or for you in the past but you, sir, are as full of shit as he was when he made that idiotic statement. THAT was a match being tossed into a bucket of gasoline (though I'm sure that he and whomever had his hand up his ass making his lips move didn't think that far ahead.)
If he wanted to cool things down, he should have simply stated the facts of the case and state that the investigative results have been turned over to the State's Attorney and then poured himself a large cup of STFU and gotten off the stage.
It is what it is and we don't need Duffin, Rahm. Special Ed nor anyone else to explain it to us. He wouldn't have dared tried to downplay it if it had been White on Black, so other than pandering to the savages and trying to gain some support for Tiny Dancer, why would he say it?
The only thing more disgusting to come out of this incident were the actions of those fucking animals that have now been arrested.
Duffin's job is to ensure a through investigation. Not to spit the Mayors line. He and Johnson should be ashamed of themselves!
Remember how President-Elect Trump was pilloried for making gestures that the left interpreted as being insulting and directed at mentally challenged people?
Here we have animals kidnapping & torturing a mentally challenged kid and these fucking liberals, Emanuel & Duffin, down play it as a "mistake"!
Fucking deplorable!
I hope karma smacks all of these assholes in the face real hard.
-Citizen
Hey Kevin hope your reward is great for towing the progressive democratic line. How about denouncing these acts perpetrated on a mentally challenged individual as deplorable and uncivilized savage behavior. Political correctness is a democratic thing that has plunged this city into third world status. As a law enforcement official it is your job to denounce criminals and criminal activity as well as ensuring the public that they will be prosecuted to the fullest extent that the law allows. We call your comments selling your soul to the devil.
Retired Lawman
Sad thing is that if this incident didn't go national it would have been a simple battery.
Retired long before the ACLU's ISR forms came into existence, but from what I understand the stop and investigation that the original beat officers made is not in line with present day policy. A white kid wandering around an all black area of town, wearing shorts and flip flops on a freezing winter day, appearing to be disoriented. From what I have been led to believe by the ACLU nit wits there was no reason for the stop. Can't stop a person on the basis of his race, can't stop a person because of the way he is dressed. None of the business of the police, no crime or suspicion of a crime about to be committed, just an eccentric person minding his own business doing nothing criminal worthy of suspicion or investigation by the police. Thank god that the beat officers disregarded the policy and did a stop and investigation. In a few hours the kid would have died from exposure. All the lib nit wits have essentially taken away any common sense that the police operate under. Of coarse they all think they know more and could do a better job than any experienced officer who actually works the streets. Our own leadership has agreed with the ACLU nit wits on this matter. Thanks officers for using your intuition, common sense, and your police experience in this case, you did us all proud, great work, your not fetal your just forced to operate under new rules that make sense only to the know it all nit wits of the ACLU and the mayor.

The word is "kowtow". He could be the nicest guy on the planet, but for him to say, at a press conference, that they're really just kids who made bad descions, is utterly ridiculous.
I am at the same point in my career as Duffin-KMA. I can say 100% without a doubt, that if I was told from above that I had to say what he said, I would place my star on a desk and walk away. I hate my job, and I hate the people running the show. I used to love my job.
If this had been 4 whites and the victim a black kid the city would be on fire. This is BULLSHIT.... The black lady who was called a racial name at DQ will get more attention, a protest and services then the poor kid who was tortured. I hate the PC world we live in. It sucks being a white person in these times.

Who is going to defend the savages in this? It is time that we quit worrying about what the animal might say or do and just come out and do it..............
what a pussy attitude to take.
All four are adults, and NO BOND. Cheers in the courtroom...
"Ever dawn on you that he didn't want to light the match to spark a fire??"
Horseshit. Let that fire burn. It's long overdue.
I'm waiting for the Kim Fox press conference to address the issue of charging and this matter because it only went international. I am sure Chicago's ruling elite may have a word with her and get her in front of a mic soon so it does not deter tourism.
Family of victim should find Corboy as attorney.
And sue the crap out of Facebook.
They allowed these scum to send the video around the world in commission of a crime.
There has got to be a violation of civil rights in there.
Facebook will pay out to keep it quite
Duffin has helped a lot of coppers out in the past. This is very out of character for him. Maybe he was tired or had a bad cold. I don't know.
Duffin, time to retire and take your absurd fat pension with you. Your legacy has been written. Three time merit beneficiary,joke. Integrity, you have none. No respect.
Commander, 18 year olds get arrested across the city almost on a daily basis. The charges vary, of course--guns, drugs, property crimes, etc. But never have I heard a cop or detective say what you did. Your comments were a further embarrassment to a department already in a tailspin.

Beat me to it. "Cow Tow" only applies to injured livestock.
Stop and consider this....
Barry is spending his last few weeks conducting a scorched earth campaign against everything decent in the United States. What would stop him from granting clemency, pardon or whatever the fuck you want to call it to these four savages? He doesn't even have to explain his reasoning.
One final "Fuck Yourself" to America.
How does the police brass look at themselves in the mirror? Isn't there one member with the balls to speak the truth. Is your paycheck and Gold Braid pension that important? ♠

Right. You are a fucking moron. We've caught worse and they all went out the back door. Dude Looks Like a Lady (not you Staples) Preckwinkle will have her partner in crime, Foxx do the dog and pony show and quietly let those sick fucks out the back door as Tommy boy holds it for them.
On a side note, I don't think the king pins of Chicago are going to like the new administration much. Seems the new guy knows how to stick to those who tried to stick it to him. Finally, a show to watch other than the same old shit.

Duffin is a boss everyone WISHES they had. He is a prince. He was ordered by the Sup and Rahm to slow pay this incident. Then it hit international news and Rahm doesn't have egg on his face, CPD does. Hang in the Kevin....We know the truth.

I watched the press conference, I did not get the emphasis on stupidity that others came away with in blog posts & editorials like this.
I have to say, these four adults were INCREDIBLY STUPID. They made some poor moral decisions about torturing another human being that are unforgivable, but let’s face it… had the one woman not been stupid enough to BROADCAST crimes in progress, we would never have heard about this.
Implicating yourself on video is a stupid thing to do. Aside from the morality, it was kind of a bonehead maneuver.
If I’m feeling generous, I’d like to think that’s what the fine officer MEANT when he talked about stupidity. But if he did, he probably wished he had chosen his words better.

There rap sheets tell a different story, they are not angels.
NYPD at 11:26 AM
You raise a valid point. Chicago and the media are attributing the "hate crime" motive to the WHITE victim being "mentally disabled". At no point in the audio do the offenders refer to the victim as a "dummy", retarded or requiring "Special Ed". They do order him to say "F-ck WHITE people".
The incident occurred in the 3300 block of W. Lexington St. in the violent, virtually all black 11th CPD District. If the offenders wanted to taunt or torture people with less than room temperature IQs, they need only walk out the door of the Covington sisters' apartment. Odds are high that the next person randomly passing by could be classified as a "dummy". In that ghetto neighborhood, their potential "dummy" targets would be like a huge school of fish in a barrel. Indeed, who would be surprised if all four of the offenders themselves could be accurately described as imbeciles? No Mensa members there.
This politically correct BS has to be stopped. The arrogant city and media obviously think we are stupid. As you accurately wrote "They tortured him for one reason-he's WHITE".
Granted de Blasio is a delusional flaming lib asshole. Still we'll trade you the heartless dirtbag Emanuel any time straight up.
Be careful out there, brother. As the CPD blue-shirted grunts say in this horrible anti-police climate: STAY FETAL!

Bullshit, he knew he was shovelling some big bullshit. He wouldn't even look up at the camera. As for lighting a match. What, Edison Park and Mt. Greenwood going to riot. LOL.
I do not care much for Staples, but is their a chance she did not speak because she disagreed with the "kids make stupid decisions" downplay scenario? If true, she has more balls than Egg McDuffin and Special Ed put together.
Hey Duff, It might be time to let go. You have been a good guy and a good cop for about 35 years and I know you've always tried to do the "right thing", whatever that is. From now on you'll be seen by the unknowing only thru the prism of your unfortunate comments. I figure your mistake was trying to be all things to all people and thinking you owed the politicians more than they deserve.
Anyway the retirement checks are great and maybe the administration can find u a spot with the Park district, Streets @ San or whatever. They owe you for taking this heat. You'll need a job to keep you off of 111th street, time catches up to all of us and your health is job#1. Keep your chin up, look everyone square in the eye and be proud of your great career. None of these Internet trolls has a notion of what you've seen and done. All the best from a retired Englewood Ranger.

Oh boy. Kevin may have been a good cop and your words and advice are kind. However, yeah, that's what happens when adults act stupidly...they face the repurcussians. Kind of like what he said about kids, right? How this translates to anyone owing duffin jack shit is beyond me. I hope I don't go senile that fast after retirement. This isn't even a true fucking heater case...the offenders put their heinous crimes on video with their faces and voices. Even if they beat the criminal case, play that shit at your civil hearing and you're golden. He wanted D-commander pay and the easiest slam-dunk case falls in his lap and you want to give him a blowjob? This poor victim deserves better - this case should be a privilege to do great things with. Too bad he got a guy that lost the big balls he may have had heading the investigation.
He was a company suck hole twenty years ago in 009!

Kids make mistakes? This was pure evil which is what you get when you refuse to hold parents accountable and their children have no values or sense of right and wrong instilled in them these dumb asses know nothing about politics or who Trump is, their racial comments and f Trump comments come from the stupid spoon fed garbage that their selfish missing in action parents and family members post on facebook smackchat stupid social media instant gratification lack of decency miserable waste of oxygen parents education for their offspring. While I agree they weren't born this way and it is learned behavior in my book once you are 17 its all on you, so glad they were 18 and I hope they receive the harshest sentence possible, what if it was your son that they kidnapped? The only mistake was you opening your mouth but your statement did make me write Trump as I too am fed up with the evil greed corruption throw our police under the bus instant gratification selfish political hacks that run our city and wonder why the blood bath won't stop, it won't stop because corruption doesn't get to win you reptiles, in the end God wins Just a citizen with eyes that see and anger at a system that created this mess. Praying for the family of the victim and praying for his recovery. And praying for all of you in blue, I don't blame you for how you feel and I can't imagine being in your shoes you are warriors and heroes stay in the fight we need you..
Duffin's idiotic comments at the press conference reminded me of a quote from the movie "The Kingdom." It is the part of the movie when the USAG meets with the FBI director over the FBI Director's decison to ignore the USAG directive not to send agents to Saudi Arabia to investigate a terror attack on US workers.
Here is the abbreviated quote from the FBI Director to the USAG:
"......once we clued into the fact that life (in Viet Nam) is finite, the thought of losing it didn't scare us anymore. The end comes no matter what. The only thing that matters is how do you want to go out? On your feet or on your knees? I bring that lesson to this job. I act, knowing that someday this job will end no matter what.
You should do the same."
Duffin has decided to go out on his knees.
Here is the clip
https://youtu.be/EjK5BUDZtOs
Rahm Emanuel called for a u.s. Attorney to investigate racial remarks made on police radio in the past.Is he outraged and calling for a u.s. Attorney to investigate this hard to hide hate crime?
Could have been his shining moment....Yea these fucking shitheads kidnapped and tortured this kid because he was white...now I'll be heading down to 35th to Retire...go fuck yourselves...as he looks directly into special Ed's eyes.
Here in Rockford IL, it's open warfare. Pretty much any black teen or pack will jack your car or stick you up if he sees you are alone and easy pickings. The cold weather has been no deterrent this season. Car-to-car shootouts every day. I carry both outside and inside my home, and barricade the door at night. The local media try to hide the race of the suspects. The town boosters boast that "diversity is our greatest strength." It's a disgrace that our political establishment allows this, and that it is career/social kiss-of-death to discuss it honestly.
How much probation will they get?
Not to add insult to injury, but how do the parents of an 18 year old with the mental capacity of a 10 year old child, allow their son to hang out with these $#!tb@g$. The OFFENDERS in this case are lowlifes and have probably been lowlifes for a long time. Either the victim's parents didn't bother getting to know who their handicapped son was hanging out with, or they just didn't care. I just can't believe there were no red flags for these parents as to what kind of people these OFFENDERS were. Especially with that amount of crime that was committed throughout this entire incident. This victim is lucky to be alive after all he went through. Just when you think that crime in Chicago can't go any lower, this happens.
Of course they tried to downplay this. What else could they do? If they say these people are anything more than stupid kids having fun, if they say they are monsters... well how many kids in Chicago are just like these four, capable of doing the same things - thousands perhaps? That would be a terrible indictment of a community that needs to be catered to.

You were a detective and you're this dumb? It's a good thing you retired. "A white kid wandering around an all black area of town, wearing shorts and flip flops on a freezing winter day, appearing to be disoriented," isn't going to be stopped by the police because they have reasonable articulable suspicion that he committed a crime, but rather because he looks like he is in need of assistance, including medical attention. The ACLU and ISRs have nothing to do with it. If you see a baby about to wander across the expressway, you don't stop the baby because it's black or because it's about to illegally crawl into traffic. This victim was not stopped to investigate something that he may have done wrong. He was stopped so that the officers could render aid and discover what happened to him. I don't know if your ridiculous post was influenced by the sarcastic ones referencing an ISR needing to be done on this victim, but you should've picked up that it was sarcasm. No one disregarded any policy by deciding to check the well-being of this poor victim. You're way off base on this one.
The sooner bosses actually start taking a stand and chancing their own career's the sooner. Oh, why bother. We all know they won't, so stop asking us to sacrifice our own careers. We'll just play it slow too because everyone knows no one would defend us a just making a mistake.
Nationwide? Try world - wide, or like the libs like to coin, "global".
"Dayz wuzz just funnin" says the village idiots ( insert political hack names here)
Only in Chicago would the police advocate for the the offenders. Who is advocating for the victim? When a police department starts making excuses for the criminals you know you live in a democratic progressive sanctuary city. Therein lies the problem with our police department that just emboldens these type of criminals to commit these heinous crimes. Outside of the sanctuary cities bad people go to jail and they do whatever they can to assist the victim and their family. Criminal justice in Chicago is truly justice for the criminals. I think we need to change the name to the victim justice system so these idiots know who to prosecute and who deserves justice. I truly feel like living in Chicago is like being in the Twilight Zone, the longer you're there the crazier it gets.

Actually, this story is getting INTERNATIONAL coverage, and as SCC pointed out in one of the other posts, the video has gone ultra-super-mega-viral. As horrible as this might sound, this story is a good thing; NOT because of the what this poor kid went through, but because the Amish All-Stars were stupid enough to broadcast this. The whole world got a good look at just how thin this veneer of civilization REALLY is - for every episode like this that ends up recorded, whether by the perps or by other cameras, there are hundreds of cases where only the aftermath is documented in any detail. A lot of eyes have been opened, and there's no putting this genie back in the bottle.
I know Ill take a hit for this but I worked with Kevin in Patrol and can honestly say he is a friend of mine. He was and is still one of the best policemen I know. Were his remarks questionable, stupid, ass in nine -YES. But he is without a doubt one of the last bosses out there that have our back, I have no doubt about that, and w'he will be missed if he leaves especially over this. Okay now feel free to rake me over the coals.
Do you really think that the point I was trying to make was about reasonable suspicion about this stop?
I'm glad you would have enough common sense to stop a baby from crossing the expressway , but you seem to think that
The child is worth stopping because he is crossing illegaly ?
Your calling me dumb. I would not attempt to try and explain my comments
To a person like you. Ya missed the point the sarcasm and everything.
You can't possibly be one of us and have missed the point by that
Great a distance.

Anyone who refers to himself as an "englewood ranger" has to be a real wanker!
True, it is an international story. I've even seen it in the South African media. I do wonder if it would have been charged as a hate crime if the victim had not had a disability. I kind of doubt it. You remember the white guy in Detroit nearly beaten to death by 4 or 5 black males and in the end they were not charged with a hate crime.
The Gofundme fundraiser for the victim is over 97K now. https://www.gofundme.com/lets-show-the-chicago-victim-love?ssid=863849232&pos=2#
It only takes one glass of Koolaid, then its over

Despite comments, Duffin is a prince. Takes care of those who work for him. Whoever calls for him to resign or go to hq because of comments must live in a glass house.

I know Ill take a hit for this but I worked with Kevin in Patrol and can honestly say he is a friend of mine. He was and is still one of the best policemen I know. Were his remarks questionable, stupid, ass in nine -YES. But he is without a doubt one of the last bosses out there that have our back, I have no doubt about that, and w'he will be missed if he leaves especially over this. Okay now feel free to rake me over the coals.

His remarks weren't "questionable, stupid, ass in nine",as you say.They were disgusting and insulting. Not only to the victim and his family,but every law-abiding citizen.
He might've been what you say he was,but not anymore.

Hey Duff, It might be time to let go. You have been a good guy and a good cop for about 35 years and I know you've always tried to do the "right thing", whatever that is. From now on you'll be seen by the unknowing only thru the prism of your unfortunate comments. I figure your mistake was trying to be all things to all people and thinking you owed the politicians more than they deserve.
Anyway the retirement checks are great and maybe the administration can find u a spot with the Park district, Streets @ San or whatever. They owe you for taking this heat. You'll need a job to keep you off of 111th street, time catches up to all of us and your health is job#1. Keep your chin up, look everyone square in the eye and be proud of your great career.

Oh boy. Kevin may have been a good cop and your words and advice are kind. However, yeah, that's what happens when adults act stupidly...they face the repurcussians. Kind of like what he said about kids, right? How this translates to anyone owing duffin jack shit is beyond me. I hope I don't go senile that fast after retirement. This isn't even a true fucking heater case...the offenders put their heinous crimes on video with their faces and voices. Even if they beat the criminal case, play that shit at your civil hearing and you're golden. He wanted D-commander pay and the easiest slam-dunk case falls in his lap and you want to give him a blowjob? This poor victim deserves better - this case should be a privilege to do great things with. Too bad he got a guy that lost the big balls he may have had heading the investigation.

He will always be remembered as a ball-less POS over this.
Disgusting emabarrassing and shameful. No real policeman will ever respect duffin again.
