The Report
We're going to take a day or so to read it. So far, there's nothing surprising in it. In fact, we based an entire 10.5 years of blogging pointing out just about everything covered in the DOJ report:
- Training is inadequate
- Promotions are crooked
- Discipline is non-existent if you're connected
Somehow we missed the racism of tens-of-thousands of minorities killing tens-of-thousands of other minorities. Don't know how we missed it.
You can use this thread to point out the inanities of the DOJ rush to judgement.
We say "rush" because while it took nearly two years to find that Baltimore (a city with a black mayor, a black chief prosecutor, a black police chief and a department that's majority black) was inescapably racist, it only took 13 months to find CPD (a department almost five times as large), was also inescapably racist.

Loretta, you had me at 'Ferguson'.
There's already reports that Loretta lynch is going to be leading the new COPA after she is done in DC next week. She won't be named right away but look for it to happen in a few months. After all, she will be a civilian this time next week again and is a shoe in for COPA.
Our biggest problem with the way we do things within cpd is not what we do, it's how we articulate it. We need to get better at explaining why we do what we do. For now on we need to write our reports for civil court not criminal court. No more short cuts
Since the Lynch Mob refused to interview McMe,Me,Me, then lied about it, the entire report has no credibility.
Lynch was visibly shaken when deflecting the reporter's question about why Garrrrry wasn't interviewed. Something about that issue is very, very - uh, 'concerning'.
My guess is they refused to interview him because of the prior two DOJ investigation on him/his other departments, but maybe he's actually under investigation personally and she didn't want to muddy it. Who knows?
But today she actually condemned CPD/IPRA for not interviewing obvious witnesses in cases, yet her own investigators failed or refused to interview the specific superintendent of police who implemented the policies she's critiquing.
Odd. Maybe even dereliction of their duty and investigative mandate.
Give us a buy out option for last four years to make 20. This is a new kids game.
Can't wait til 1/20.
The problem with the current Washington Administration? Too many agencies have been politicized. DOJ, IRS, VA, EPA,and the list goes on.
Why doesn't someone do a report on them????
When you are a hammer everything looks like a nail. The DOJ could have written that report before the investigation they had their collective mind made about CPD before they came.
Bottom of page 131 three Lt's under investigation for being coached by a high ranking member of the dept in the 2015 Lt's test. Three it should be thirty! Criminals!
Who really give a damn about that report....I sure don't. It means nothing to me.
Kool aid on tap for white shirts at roll call. Total confusion. Not one read the report. Blue shirt stuck between rock and hard place...crickets from union. d.o.j. report, now body cameras...this is something toxic I might walk away from...totally..including moving from city.
Hey!
Garbage in, garbage out.
But hey, they didn't find torture, corruption, or our secret black ops site at Homan Square. All in all we fooled the shit out of them. Lawyers...they think they're so smart!
The equation, however complex, is reduced to one simple challenge.....
Solve for element 'death'.
I wonder if those peddling "racism" ever pause to consider that.
It's a bunch of nothing. No surprise. Of course they were going to find something. That's what they do. Have they ever done something like this and not found anything? They have to justify their pay by printing out a long report saying the same thing over and over. It's a desperate crew of hacks. All politics. They rushed it through just because of the changing of presidents. How legit and professional is that? And Lynch at the helm? Please. Same supposed professional that had a private conversation with bill Clinton while this "professional" organization was investigating Hilary. Wow.
This was Obama's, Holder's, Lynch's final kick in the balls to urban policing. The ironic thing is, their people are going to pay the price this summer, and for many summers to come. Proactive policing in Chicago is now officially dead, and America's first black president killed it.
Cause 60 ride alongs, talking to a bunch of anti police individuals whom have a purpose to do everything they can ro Fk u, make u now an police expert....Folks watch captain Sully it's very similar to what's going on here!
I can't speak to most of the findings in the DOJ report, but as a statistician, the DOJ's absence of any coherent statistical analysis relating to the claims of racial differences in the CPD's use of force is embarrassing. They didn't even go stats 101 on these data.
Making a claim that Chicago is 1/3 black, white, and hispanic and that 8/10 of the use-of-force incidents involved black suspects--or whatever the exact number was--as being evidence of racial discrimination is fucking bewildering. They literally, and I mean literally, accounted for 0 confounding factors: one of the main ones being racial differences in who commits crimes (a list of additional variables/data like this could easily number in the dozens for any thoughtful analysis).
The DOJ's methodology is simply bad form--actually nonexistent--and does not support the claims they're making. And it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
I say make the Chicago crime data open source like the CTA data if it isn't already. Obviously, the CPD data would have to be anonymized, but the CTA data gives a good model to follow.
The CPD could be all those things stated in the DOJ report. It could be none of them. But the claims of racial discrimination in the report was 100% a hit piece.
Sincerely,
- A Chicagoan
It's all bullshit .
It pisses me off that the CPD is in the crosshairs of these leftist pukes. I never vote for anyone who doesn't support LEO's. I'm thankful for all that the CPD does. You work in these violent neighborhoods, risking life and limb, to protect the public. I'm sure that the race baiting is off the charts in some of these inner city areas. There is a percentage of blacks who harbor deep resentments towards whites, and nothing you do will win over the haters. They similarly bait African American LEO's, implying they are traitors, for enforcing the law.
This is a dark day in this City's history. I hope that better days are ahead starting on January 20, 2017. That's a change that I can believe in.
I thought McStreetlights was fired and didn't resign like they say in the start of the "Report to 1000." ?
Well all the liberal media is talking about is the disproportionate stops involving "black and brown" people
Fuck it ! Don't stop them whatsoever and give them the privacy and space they demand!
Channel 7 is interviewing residents from Austin after the press conference was over!!!
Ya their really gonna give CPD a fair shake when their district is #1 in homicides!
Fuck these people already the criminals are complaining they don't trust CPD!!!
I say give the all the room why want to do whatever they want
It's actually not that bad. The media and leftist wanted to hammer the race card but the DOJ was trying to explain real issues facing the dept.
Doesn't matter anyways law and order is back in one week. -the Donald
I am a PO in 006, my Sergeant is black, my Lieutenant is black, my Captain is black, my Commander is black, my a Deputy Chief is black, my Chief is black, my 1st Deputy is Hispanic, and my Superintendent is black. Do you think that made the report? What the hell is a Hispanic doing in my chain of command!
Can we avoid this?
Baltimore PD Commits to Consent Decree, Changes in Policy
http://www.policemag.com/channel/patrol/news/2017/01/12/baltimore-pd-commits-to-consent-decree-changes-in-policy.aspx
It would be nice to get a copy from the city with notes in the margins like "We aint going to do dat", "we got no money for dat", "how the f..k we going to do dat",,and "dat not how the city do dat."
And I can only imagine on the first page a written note "How long until everyone forgets this."
Several months ago the department had a survey on training. Where are the results of the survey?
I have not been trained to shoot or not shoot in ten years. Deescalation training, what's that? CIT training, I signed up for it and did not get it. If you want aggressive patrol throw us a bone and give us some training.
It's quite long. Over 2 hours but worth the viewing. The basis of the report. A sliver of the public.
https://youtu.be/N17invqmNXY
No matter what the report says, it really is meaningless. Like that old song says, "The Times, they are a-changing". Hopefully, for the better. The band of racist conspirators will be leaving the DOJ. Hopefully, Jeff Sessions will appoint a task force that will just as feverishly dismantle the city's cabal. Until then, answer calls, back each other up, but stay as fetal as you can stand.
It's disgusting not a mention that the community needs to be responsible for their own actions and held accountable themselves.
You can't just do and say what you want without consequences. And when those consequences require a police officer to enforce the law "They" don't like it.
I never experienced so much racism and hatred for the white man and the police until I got on this job. Accusing us as racist is like calling the kettle black.
The community is not held accountable for their actions. Yes, we are held to a higher standard and I get that but when it's okay to be high on pcp, carrying a knife, breaking into storage containers, threatening a security guard which is felony agg.assault by the way....and being the aggressor, being the one who caused the situation, the outcome falls on us. The outcome of force falls on us. We shouldn't have shot so and so. We should of tried talking him down....de-escalating the situation first. Bullshit, we are the police. By the power invested in me by the State of Illinois I order you to drop the knife, gun, bat,etc. If you don't listen it's on you what the outcome becomes. And being on pcp or any other drug is no excuse for not understanding the gravity of the situation. We are fucked as a department but more so as a country and society. I'm very proud to be a police officer but staying fetal is the only solution I know right now to get to the end. And by staying fetal I mean I'm going to still answer my calls, cut paper, address minor complaints from the citizens on my beat, and patrol the beat.
And that is what I'm required to do, that is what I'm paid to do. No more, no less. Being proactive was an option. Going above and beyond. The community has gotten so used to it that they still expect it. They say, well that's what your paid for. No its not. I can if I want but I don't have to. And right now I choose not to. If I don't engage or shall I say the less I engage the less of an incident. That's basically what they were and are saying in the report. This whole thing has no affect on supervisors one bit. I take that back, they will be held more accountable for our actions which should be a lot easier than it was 10-15 years ago. Because we ain't doing shit anymore. I've said it before: pay, healthcare, and pension is all I care about...and backing up my fellow officers. Even though that may get you stripped.
After hearing this garbage, all I can say is being fetal will be like being SuperCop.
I will be less than fetal.
I will be less than an embryo.
I will be less than a zygote.
I will be less than a gleam in the old man's eye.
I will be less than a thought.
I will be non-existent.
I am so done. The finish line is 5 years away. In fact, 5 years and one day. I will write a report. I will lock someone up on signed complaints. I will come out, answer my jobs, do the paper, and then retreat into the shadows. I will help my fellow officers every time they need it, but I will not do one bit of proactive work. Fuck Rahm, fuck Garry, fuck every commander/XO/Lt./Sgt., who demanded numbers, stupid missions and/or activity to please the Compstat crew. Screw every incompetent boss, merit or otherwise, who claims to have our backs. Fuck Barry, Holder, Lynch, blm, pfleger, Jamal, and every other race-baiting piece of shit out there, all of which have contributed to setting race relations back 50 years. A huge middle finger to the MSM, both locally and nationally, for perpetuating this bullshit rhetoric. Say it enough and people accept it as truth. I wouldn't let my dogs dump on the sun times after seeing their "Times Up" headline. Up yours, assholes. You better make sure you have enough ink this year, because we're going to have 1,000 homicides, and you'll have no one to blame but the democrats and the shitheads. An honorable mention to Ed Yohnka, and the ACLU. Ed, I hope you never need the police. If you do, call the fire dept instead, see what they do for you. Maybe you hard chargers will finally slow it down. Maybe Kimisha indicting a few of you will finally make you wake up. Let them shoot each other, let them rob eachother. Let Austin, Englewood, Lawdale, etc., all go to Hell (well, further into it). Come in and do the paper and call the body snatchers. Wait until the next one and repeat. Hot car? LET IT GO. Blown stop sign/red light? LET IT GO! It's not worth your job, you're pension and/or your freedom. You will have the deck stacked against you before it even gets underway.,
We've all been labeled as racists, undertrained, and undisciplined, systemic racism, unnecessary force, and brutality to minorities. I say BULLSHIT.
If SCC allows this to print (I had a lot of f-bombs, but that's how I feel), thanks for letting me vent. I'm done though.
And at what point do we hear from the FLOP?
At some point maybe we can hear something from the FLOP higher than a 5th grade education?
The whole Dept. is an embarrassment , EDdie looked like a live rotisserie chicken, standing looking out of the corner of his eyes!
Fat Guy in a little coat ! Fuc$ the FOP & Dumb nuts Dean!
How can anyone even expect anything good to come out of this Dept ,,, with a HORSES ASS running the show , that even he himself had to cheat on the Lt Test , Everyone knows he doesn't even have the Brains to be a Fuckin Boy Scout . GOD HELP US ,there is no hope for this City unless we put some real Qualified people in with No Clout Bullshit going on , and kill all the Old Daley Connections and Clout
The "Ferguson Effect" has become a cultural thing. Just note the painting of cops as pigs allowed to hang in the US House (tho it's being taken down Tuesday after the Capital Architect - the guy who approved it to be hung BTW - decided to obey the rules guiding Congressional art to not be controversial or offensive). Note that the Congressional Black Caucus did all they could to keep the painting of "cops as pigs" hanging. Note that the Congressman sponsoring the art was a Dem from Ferguson MO.
Obama failed this nation by never - ever - talking about the "Ferguson Effect". He is remembered by saying "the cops acted stupidly" (beer summit) and "Treyvon could be my son". He is remembered by ignoring the Baltimore nightmare of high powered DNC black prosecutor charging five cops with ....basically murder....(and she is now fscing the legal wrath of those five cops who were all acquitted but media is not reporting it at all).
The "Ferguson Effect" in Chicago is "stay fetal". It is happening all over big urban centers in USA.
Solution - it has to be named as "The Ferguson Effect" - it has to be blamed on the media and political organizing that made Ferguson such a clusterfuck. Then it has to be investigated and put in the books as a Civil Rights Lawsuit - and the the police should be the ones acknowledged as victims.
It has to become a thing like #Benghazi was because it was as bad.
Just saying - this has to become a big part of a solution or way out for cops to start policing the bad neighborhoods again.
TACT Sgt quoted as saying that he "hunts" at work? TACT wonder bragging to DOJ lawyers that he made 1100 arrests? You both are possibly the biggest idiots on this job. And I'm sure Sgt you were a Merit bitch.
M/1 Lieutenant telling DOJ he was harrassed by police as a kid because he was black. And he got both of his merit promotions because he was black. F#ck you.
There's a cookie cutter pattern to every one of these DOJ investigations.
Who's calling who racist Loretta?
"I have never seen anything like that video," Smith said of the footage showing Van Dyke shooting McDonald 16 times, including many shots while he lay prone in the street. "… One of the things that was shocking was not just the shooting but the fact that everybody knew the moment it happened they had to go into cover-up mode."
From the tribune quoting Jonathan Smith who works for the DOJ.
So if he's never seen anything like that video, try working as a police officer. Or living as a citizen here in Chicago. You will see plenty of things far worse than that. What about the rape and murders of innocent children? Do you think that could be worse? Or the beating deaths of the elderly. Do you want shocking? What about the video where four black people kidnap and torture a mentally disabled person? Have you seen that? So what's worse Mr. Smith?
Obviously some people have very sheltered lives.
I get so sick of hearing that CPD is a bunch of white, racist men, why is it when I look around roll calls, I see women, hispanics, blacks, asians, native Americans, muslims and every race and creed, but it's those damn few white guys left causing all this trouble. First off, dummies, white guys like being in the military and police, it's a service and protection thing you snowflakes and race hustlers couldn't possibly understand. The department has recruited minorities for decades and the department is far more diverse than any company around here. Once you're hired, it's a 20 or 30 year career so, change doesn't happen in 5 minutes, assholes, it is slow but it does change constantly. I have many minority friends I've met on the job I've also met some real dogs of all races, it's just like the world out there, inside here, good and bad.
I'm still trying to understand why the media listens to felons for their reports on how the police behave. Ask the most depraved, violent, thieving, bloodthirsty animals how they view the opposing team? Well, if I was a bad guy, I'd congratulate the 0bama administration because if I were on the opposing team, I'd believe they were all toothless pussies, thank you DOJ for enabling the worst of us to kill the rest of you without any meaningful opposition.
Hey Loretta:
Where do the overwhelming majority of criminals live?
Where does the majority of violent crimes occur?
What's wrong Loretta? Would discussing the 800 lb gorilla in the room fly in the face of your agenda??
But not a word on the Lie-tenant's exam or the role of a recipient of federal grants, NOBLE. Come to think of it, when you listen to Loretta Lynch or Sarita Gupta describe the rampant racism in the CPD, you'd think that they were recently promoted to Lie-tenant. Maybe NOBLE could have Ms. Lynch or Gupta receive Honorary Lie-tenant's stars for all their hard and frenzied work to release the report in the last days of this failed Presidency. Purely a political circus, which the Chicago media will trumpet for the next decade whenever they want to denigrate the hard work of our police officers. And the Afro-American community will be the ultimate victims of the increased criminal activity emboldened by this sham report.
Retired .38 spl +P
So they say we're all racist? Let's prove them wrong....ANSWER YOUR JOBS, PAPER WHEN NEEDED, AND DONT STOP ANYBODY!!!!
Let's see if the racist police will be need when homicides hit 1000?
From the article "Investigations into misconduct are "glacially slow," with discipline often "unpredictable and ineffective," said Gupta, who described how police used stun guns on people for no other reason than they did not obey officers' verbal commands."
Professional judgement be damned...
"Mayor Rahm Emanuel said the results of the investigation were "sobering" and pledged to make changes..."
Tiny Dancer you make me wanna hurl... fucking spineless prick...
Glad to see there will be changes as to who is on power in DC... probably won't live to see the machine held accountable
YAWN........... So now what?
I read lots of it. Actually they didn't say promotions are crooked. They say police officers PERCEIVE promotions to be crooked, but went on to imply that the issue is overblown by us. Nor recommendations on hiring. Nothing about manpower being low, oh except for ipra,,
NO contact, NO problem.
I read the report and do agree with what you stated SCC. They used a very broad brush to characterize the entire department. I wish they were more detailed as far as how many actual incidents took place that were deemed unconstitutional or where police acted in violation of the law. The total number of police interaction with the public and the instances where the DOJ found wrong doing with the conduct of the police is in my opinion very low. After all we were just doing what we were told/ordered/asked to do in most cases. If the DOJ seriously believes in their report then they need to state that the way to change starts at the top with the micro managing mayor and the unqualified individuals running this department. If the DOJ report is true and accurate then a whole lot of police officers should be going to jail, which they are not, therefore this is just a load of B.S. and grandstanding by an out going administration that is padding their resumes.
Thinking about how the DOJ investigation that exonerated Darren Wilson of any wrongful conduct (when you KNEW what the DOJ was hoping to conclude) took 6 months for this single incident. Yet that was buried when the DOJ simultaneously released a report that blasted Ferguson for its “racist” practices in issuing traffic tickets for revenue purposes. So Ferguson, MO continues to fuel massive protests, often violent, against "police brutality".
This outgoing admin's Justice Dept. was anything but. It's almost as if key elements of Rules For Radicals were part and parcel of their approach. Wait... did I say almost?
I give the report a D overall.
-They point out some embarrassing truths about the piss poor training at all levels.
-They touch on the corrupted mess of the merit promotion system but try to further cover it up by attributing it to a misunderstanding of the
process when we all know the process itself use to blame.
The DOJ doesn't investigate deep enough and they ultimately fail us by not exposing the real reason the CPD is so screwed up, which as we all know is because of the current and past occupants of the 5th floor at city hall. Actually I'll change the grade to an F+.
Thanks for the effort Loretta! You would get along perfectly here with the CPD command staff.
OK TRUMP ,send in the Federal Troops and end this phony BLM Movement........until then stay F E T A L cant get indited for that !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like how Foxx came out of her hole finally and had something to say about the DOJ's report and the police.
I wonder if the FOP could sue the Catholic Church and that goof priest for violations between church and state. They certainly should not be tax exempt!
We're going to get all this training and a new facility to train in, ah. In the meantime, the people of Chicago will keep on killing each other and the politicians will keep on stealing.
I am beginning to believe that civilized society and its laws are just plain racist !!!
You mean just watching a 5 or 10 minute video doesn't count as training?
This was nothing more than Obama giving his friend Rahm a gift so he can further berate the CPD after his emails became public.
It doesn't take long when you have a pre-determine out come.
I hate anecdotal evidence, especially when it comes from an uneducated, emotional, and easily influenced source. Anecdotal evidence does not prove a pattern, that's why they are anecdotes.
With that being said, I have almost 20 years on this shithole job and am damn sure the incidents alleged (guns for freedom, dropping off rivals, etc.) occur. To deny so by any CPD officer is nothing more than ridiculous denial.
Perhaps the time has finally come for the confronting of officers who engage in "questionable" behavior by all fellow CPD officers. To simply put it on the supervisors does not alleviate the rest of us.
And yes, I have already begun to do so.
Enough of the illegal bullshit boys and girls
The DOJ is just another arm of the Democratic octopus. It's job has been to make evil good and good evil. In a few more days they will be looking for new jobs and the Republican version will take over. Here's hoping they remember the Justice part of their name. If justice in Chicago is the goal 4 years won't get er done.
Foot chase policy. That say it all.
Time to run off this job fast !
Good morning to all you racist cops. Now get out there and take one for the team. Rahm needs scape goats, lots of scape goats to give him cover IF he runs for re-election. He may not be around that long if President Trump cuts the federal purse strings. Walking softly is not Trumps way and I hope he carries big knife instead of a big stick..
I received the FOP email yesterday, (Friday), the same day that the report was released. I am confused as to the actual length of the investigation. Everyone else says that it was a year or thirteen month long investigation. What was the actual time frame and since it was reported that the mayor already signed off on the consent decree, will the new Justice department be able to void it with the court oversite in Place?
An excerpt from the FOP email.
"Despite those initial conversations, what has resulted is one of the quickest Pattern-or-Practice Investigations ever conducted by DOJ into an agency the size of the CPD. In all practicality, to have completed this investigation in LESS than one year's time brings to surface several concerns: the main one being timeliness. Completing an investigation into the 12,000 member Chicago Police Department, and in a City with over 2 million citizens in less than one year; clearly brings to light that the outgoing DOJ wanted to issue a report before the new Administration takes over on January 20, 2017. What also remains to be seen is whether or not the Report might be considered compromised, or incomplete as a result of rushing to get it out before the Presidential Inauguration. Everyone who reads this document should be as concerned about the timeliness of this Report as the FOP."
Loretta Lynch got her career jump start from Bill Clinton
http://thebernreport.com/loretta-lynch-relationship-clintons/
Loretta Lynch is beholden to the Clintons. Bill Clinton appointed Ms. Lynch to serve as the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York in 1999, jump-starting her career with the White House. It isn’t a well-known fact Loretta Lynch was a litigation partner for eight years at a Washington law firm that served the Clintons. Loretta Lynch was with the international law firm Hogan & Hartson LLP from March of 2002 to April of 2010. Lynch has refused to suggest her relations with the Clinton’s is a conflict of interest. (The average person would think there is a conflict.)
Dirty
Lynch was with the Washington-headquartered international law firm Hogan & Hartson LLP from March 2002 through April 2010.
According to documents Hillary Clinton’s first presidential campaign made public in 2008, Hogan & Hartson’s New York-based partner Howard Topaz was the tax lawyer who filed income tax returns for Bill and Hillary Clinton beginning in 2004.
In addition, Hogan & Hartson in Virginia filed a patent trademark request on May 19, 2004, for Denver-based MX Logic Inc., the computer software firm that developed the email encryption system used to manage Clinton’s private email server beginning in July 2013. A tech expert has observed that employees of MX Logic could have had access to all the emails that went through her account.

Bill Clinton met with his protégés to get her to help his criminal wife
Yet, over at the New York Observer, a high-level and credible source told them that the former president had delayed departure from Phoenix in order to ensure a run in with the attorney general:
The source has decades of experience providing security to government officials. The source spoke to the Observer for 20 minutes and answered follow-up questions via text message on the condition that no further details be revealed, including even gender, given the possibility of losing his or her job as an active overseer of security arrangements. This person was on-hand for the entirety of the meeting and some of its aftermath.

It's already out of the national media news cycle. No one cares about it and they shouldn't.
Rahm's ties to Bill Clinton
Following the campaign, Emanuel became a senior advisor to Clinton at the White House from 1993 to 1998.[31] In the White House, Emanuel was initially Assistant to the President for Political Affairs[32] and then Senior Advisor to the President for Policy and Strategy.[33] He was a leading strategist in White House efforts to institute NAFTA[34][35] and universal health care[citation needed], among other Clinton initiatives.[36]
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rahm_Emanuel
More on Rahm from Wiki
Emanuel declared in April 2006 that he would support Hillary Clinton should she pursue the presidency in 2008. Emanuel remained close to Clinton since leaving the White House, talking strategy with her at least once a month as chairman of the DCCC.[14] However, Emanuel's loyalties came into conflict when his home-state Senator, Barack Obama, expressed interest in the race. Asked in January 2007, about his stance on the Democratic presidential nomination, he said: "I'm hiding under the desk. I'm very far under the desk, and I'm bringing my paper and my phone."[67] Emanuel remained neutral in the race until June 4, 2008, the day after the final primary contests, when he endorsed Obama.[68]
Loretta's agenda of using the DOJ to foment hatred toward the police needed to be released before the phony-in-chief left office. They need to fire up masses of mindless minions to continue the goose step...
They write the report by reviews of ur blog!
# 1 How many whites actually live in Englewood or Lanwdale??
# 2 What ethnic group is #1 in arrests?
# 3 CPS is adding to the problem with this restorative justice crap
ex. ) DeShawn, why did you get up out of your seat, leave the room, walk out of the building, and go smoke a blunt? What were you feeling? Ok, next time say please, no detention for you.
I'm sitting in the corner of my pretty loft with my legs crossed and my head bowed in shame. I didn't know that I was so racist.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Did you see Tiny Dancer's fake attempt to cry, in attempt to hoard votes for next election from blacks, when he told in the press conference that racicism will not be tolerated? He should have clarified that racism goes both ways. What a fake disgrace, but the ignorant citizens will once again vote for him next time.
So, Bill Clinton gave Lynch and Rahm their starts. All the bosses (including Eddie) OK's the Van Dyke shooting. Rahm hides the video so he can get re-elected. Now Rahm, Eddie, and Lynch circle the wagons and points their finger at the lowly Blue Shirts.
They ONLY interviewed 1000 people in a city that has 2.+ million residents.
And if i had to guess, not one from anywhere a taxpayer actually lives.
Did DOJ by any chance take into account that the minorities act most violently against the police in the encounters. The police are responding to that type of a behavior. Most of the time I responded to jobs where blacks have been involved they have the attitude "in your face", I'll have your house and badge. Just like Mc Carthy said DOJ had already made up its mind when it came to Shittown. He was not interviewed because it did not fit the DOJ's agenda.
I take issue with the DOJ's reasoning that UOF training is obsolete simply because the video is "decades old". Does that mean learning any sort of Judo, Martial Arts, or Self Defense training is all obsolete because many of the techniques taught are hundreds, maybe thousands, of years old? What does age of video have to do with anything?
calling someone a racist is the last hiding place of a scoundrel when their argument fails.
during the remainder of my career i won't stop another black person due to him/her being black....now DOJ that!
Wow, your right on target SC. I recently retired w/ 31 years and I would have to agree with you that the corruption in this department is the result of an entrenched system that favors, covers and protects their chosen ones. A system that designates promotions almost decades in advance. I remember in 1986 "Alfonse" saying in the academy that he was going to be a big boss. I thought he was on junk. Everywhere I looked it was the same pattern. Many of those that got promoted had engaged in behavior that would have resulted in termination if that had been a common officer. It reminds me of the military where we would say, "fuck up & move up". Make no mistake, the lodge has always been one of the heads of this three headed dragon.
Its obvious now. All democrats see the police as pigs-
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/01/13/capitol-building-to-remove-controversial-pigs-as-police-painting.html
News outlets keep referring to a 35 year old training video that is used to teach use of force / deadly force. I don't recall ever seeing a video made in 1980 in any of my training. Any idea where they came up with that BS?
It's not an Inanity, it's more like insanity.
Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see one politician or Gold Star come out and defend the unclouted working blue and white shirts - SCUMBAGS! I didn't think it was possible to do even less then what I do now, but after thinking about it for a bit, I came up with a couple of more ways to stick it to Tiny Dancer and this BS department.
What the 10 min roll call videos from 15 years ago aren't enough?? The 30 round yearly gun qualification isn't enough? The Who's your guy Promoting system isn't right?
ACLU effect 800 murders, now the DOJ suggests no foot pursuits, over 1000
It's all about legacy.
Like it or not Father Phleger will ride this report and his very high profile to the Mayor's office! This report along with the 2016 election results will guarantee it. I was going to say I am willing to bet my Star and my new BMW on it. But I will go further and wager my second merit promotion on it! I can also wager that Vanita Gupta is going places as well.
Who will be the first sacrificial lamb??lets describe him

I'm sure if you look around you already know who this dude is everyone works with a few
Good luck guys stay safe Dudes gonna need a benefit real soon
I know its pimpy, but if you add up the DOJ reports racial makeup of Chicago, it comes to 102%.
Our department has a significant number of black and Hispanic officers. Are they also racist against minorities or is it just the white officers? I mean, if it's some sort of organization-wide pattern and practice of racist policing, everyone must be on board, right? If black officers arrest black offenders, are they racist? If they use force against black people, is it racist and excessive? I'm so confused. I can't think of one person I've arrested or even stopped simply because of their race. I've stopped and arrested people of all races because they just happened to be the race of the offender I was looking for, and they were driving the same car, wearing the same clothes, and were identified by the victim. I guess that's racist if the offender happens to be a minority. I guess it doesn't matter that the overwhelming majority of crime, especially violent crime, is committed by minorities. If my aquarium gets dirty, I assume the fish were shitting and pissing in the water. I don't go looking for the dog to rub his nose in it. If someone is robbed by a male black teen in a black hoodie and blue jeans, I don't go round up a bunch of middle aged white guys in suits for a lineup. If blacks commit crimes at a disproportionate rate, they should be arrested at a disproportionate rate. Let's be really conservative and say 51% of crime is committed by minorities. If the police arrest everyone responsible for those crimes, they're racist for targeting minorities. They're arresting mostly minorities! How dare they! Just because those minorities are the ones committing the crimes. Department of Justice? Right. Justice.
I will have to read this report. I hope the DOJ commented on the phony and corrupt promotion system that has destroyed morale and incentive for decades, but made worse by Daley and Rahm. And, for Johnson to say he does not take orders from the mayor shows him to be a liar of the highest order. Yes, the CPD needs a lot of changes and a lot of reforms, many of which this site and officers have complained about and have been ignored by the political class . The city has always attempted to run the CPD on the cheap and through patronage. Will it change? I doubt it.
I wonder if the DOJ investigators ever spoke to any victims of crime in Chicago, victims who received justice when CPD arrested their tormentors, robbers, carjackers, batterers, burglars and car thieves? Did the DOJ ever speak to anyone whose building had been on fire and CPD officers ran in to save them? Did DOJ ever speak to anyone trapped in car only to be rescued by CPD? Did they speak to the many thousands and tens of thousands of black and brown victims of crime who received compassionate treatment by CPD? Did DOJ ever speak to any of the millions of anonymous callers who called 911 to report drug dealers outside their doors, intimidating them and their good neighbors, who fire guns in the middle of the night, but later saw CPD arrest the thugs who terrorize their neighborhoods?
Nooooo...... but phather phaker gets interviewed, criminals get interviewed, thugs get interviewed....
And then the report is presented by a political appointee of an administration that has been against police officers and people defending themselves everywhere since day one, a political appointee who did not have the common sense or professionalism to see a conflict of interest with hosting a private meeting on an airport runway with the spouse of person under federal criminal investigation.......
Off topic, To Preckwinkle and Dart, did you ever think of the real reasons why so many black and brown people are in jail for "non-violent" crimes like minor drug possession? these drug dealers and drug users terrorize the neighborhoods they live in, and since the good people in those neighborhoods are too afraid of the gangs to sign complaints for offenses like battery, assault, robbery, burglary, car theft, etc., police arrest them for offenses in which the officers are the complainants, and thereby make the neighborhoods safer for the good people. by releasing those people from jail, you are only returning them to terrorize the good people in the neighborhoods.
And to those who say that marijuana is a victimless crime, think about this. think about the low-level dealer who gets killed for his drug stash-- and think about that person's blood being on that bag of weed that gets sold on the street. The person using that drug may not be involved in the violence plaguing the streets of urban America, but the person selling it sure is. And Obama has released hundreds of them from jail in recent months .... the crime wave nationwide will be going up in the coming years....
Because a simulator and a training manual can fix societies problems!!! Must be the twilight zone when wrong is right and right is wrong....
Political agenda -scapegoats... yawn😕
It appears that the DOJ just changes the names,dates,and locations then issues the same report over and over.
They have their narrative and they stick to it.
Kinda' like the Democratic party and the news media.
The report is out, racist department, now do nothing boys and girls.
My grandfather made his small town Iowa newspaper in 1919 or so by driving his Model T to Chicago. He was advised before departing to folks a five dollar bill around his drivers license and told that when the nice Chicago policeman stopped him to hand him the license and the fiver. Nice to hear that ethical standards are being maintained.
Time to start drinking, heavily.
The Mayor and all the Alderman should be voted out!!!! O.U.T. - OUT!
Page 50. It claims that the CR affidavit requirement is because of the contract. FUCKING WRONG YOU INCOMPETENT MORONS! It's because of state law. So much for DOJ hiring the best and brightest.
Racist or racism can be quite subjective, depending on whose ox is doing the goring.
What anti-police hit job by a bunch of know nothings!
People who have never made an arrest have an opinion on how to do police work now!
I say fuck you and let see you deal with the thugs with your stupid peace circles!
This job is dead!
Chicago enjoy 1000 homicide shooting deaths in 2017!
The job is over time to close the door on this shit
Baltimores report reads "complete"--while Chicagos report reads like the outline of the first draft. Love all the anecdotal examples at front end of report (lots of filler)---that tapers off into nothingness, just a few more unexamined thesis (Police Board, Early Intervention, Training...)
Can only hope we see meaningful changes at the top--get in some people with brains who care...and throw out these current career fools.
The negative aspects of our culture exist because we insist on repeating failed experiments and resist investing in reality.(hows that for fluff/)
Why dont they look at racist kim fo(x^2) and her silence through white special needs torture
Not surprising, a lot of what the rank and file have been saying for years. Lets get the unqualified instructors out of the Academy, promote truly deserving merit officers/supervisors, and lets hold each other accountable.
And? Officers have complained about this for how many decades? As for blm and father faker, I suggest you start immediately looking at the people on your communities because if you thought the Police were "fetal" before now you will probably get a report and absolutely nothing else. Oh and thank you for that as it is your own fault, blame the Police for your savage criminal demonic behaivior.
To all of you hot-shots stilling being the real police, when you are stuck at callback don't start whining.
The DOJ does not want proactive policing.
Ot, very interesting

The doctrine of implicit bias in policing is a logical fallacy. That the police have arrested persons at rates disproportionate to a population demographic does not speak to implicit bias on the part of officers. In Chicago it points to communities in crisis. Larger social issues drive heightened rates of criminality like crushing poverty, low educational attainment,and gang membership. The report issued by the USDOJ lacks rigor, fails in providing salient data points or metrics for analysis. The interviews of police officers were sparse for a large agency like Chicago. Agency subject matter experts were obviously avoided or ignored. In sum, this report is anecdotal at best, a poor substitute for the evidence-based argument this city paid for
Someone wrote that the cops should start reporting the crimes more accurately instead of downgrading them to less serious crimes. I agree. But is that career suicide? Will lieutenants and sergeants screw over and officer who reports crimes more accurately?
Read most of these case as examples and all I see IS the police should've moved out of the way, the police should wait, the police should not done this or that etc....etc...etc...etc....I'm sorry but at what point do we say the CRIMINALS should not be engaging in criminal activity and putting lives endanger, I wonder then whats the point of having laws if you or anyone can not enforce them. Wait for back up baffles me because you can not enforce the law I guess, you should wait for someone to get hurt and kill and then when back up arrives maybe, and I say maybe then 1 should approach. I'm sorry but when is it over for the CRIMINAL then or I guess what they are telling you is let them continue their crime spree until he gives up on his own or gets tired then maybe take action wtf??? THEN LAWMAKERS NEED TO RE-WRITE LAWS THEN TOTAL BS!!!! The current laws then are useless!
Loretta "the obama imp" Lynch stood there and blasted the CPD flunky patrolman in the ass with her biased DOJ assessment.
Excessive use of force on assailants is a result of inadequate training.
Says a lot about the flunky Merit Academy leadership.
No mention of the inadequate training in Chicago's public schools, elementary and beyond.
Year after year racist anti-police themed curriculum is allowed to be taught in some areas and churning out police hating twits.
No respect is taught for self, community and most of all home. No guidance, just a free lunch and a ride to and from.
Foul mouthed disrespectful littering troublemakers growing up to be violent radical community organizers.
Sorry sad sack crybaby Rahm was just as sickening to listen to.
WLS-AM 890 cut off the Jugghead Special Ed's turn at the podium.
Heard he tried to do a mike-drop but fumbled awhile and figured out it was fixed to the podium. Smooove.
Stay fetal and stay out of the 30 days and pending ghetto.
Let the RAPS and HBTs flow. They are saying we are tactically unsound because we apprehend active resisters and rush in to neutralize armed offenders.
Now Chicago and Baltimore have both signed Consent decrees with the Feds at "gunpoint". Funny that not one of the breathless and excited news organizations has noticed which party has been running these cities and in charge of these supposed "racist" police departments for decades ain't it?
I'm sure it was some desk sergeant or street cop that sat on the McDonald video for over a year until after the election and authorized that $5 million payout to his parents.
What a load of crap!
No big surprises in the report. When a picture of cops displayed as pigs hangs in our national congress...
Stay safe Officers, sanity is returning.
J.J.
Van Dykes lawyers should use this report in his defense. It blames the officers mistakes on lack of training and outdated training by the CPD. Videos on use of force from 35 years ago etc. The DOJ report is a great defense.
So if I am reading page five of the summary they talked to 1000 citizens and which is .0003% of the population and took 600 phone calls? If I remember college stats 10% of the population is the ideal representative sample size (1 in ten rule). Pretty sure Stat professors would give an F to this paper. They also talked to 2% of the retired and current police. And lets not forget these are not random samples but solicited complainers. Any Academia care to comment? Are our policy and procedures going to be based on the opinions of 1000 people in the city? Sounds like a bad move Eddie.
According to the report whites and latinos are the minorities. 33% Black, 32% White ,29% Latino. Page 16
Has the DOJ ever found a police department "not racist"?
Who is the idiot academy instructor that according to the report, showed up 10 minutes late, then dismissed the class 20 minutes early? I understand that the academy is a joke, but didn't the person realize the DOJ was sitting in?
Also, the boss that referred to the FTO program as being in a 'hot mess,' is a loser and a dork. Quit using that ghetto slang.
The Trubune article brought up the Abbante case as an example of a cover up. For the millionth time, there was no cover up! At least none involving the patrolmen that got assigned that shit caper.
The Report was without a doubt Hastily Constructed, because of the Trump Victory! Rahm had more than a little leverage to run the clock down. However, on the issue of Training, the Report is CORRECT! The Chicago Police Department does virtually nothing to provide training, unless you knew someone. Because I was a friend with the Sgt. who ran High Risk Entry, years ago, I was able to receive an EMT certification, with that team. Now consider this; I wanted that certification because as a Sgt. I wanted to be able to help my officers if one of them got hurt. The Clout Heavy Lt. in charge of my Unit demanded that I take the training on my own time. Despite the fact that a CPD Unit,(High Risk Entry), was taking it with me, at the CFD Fire Academy, a City of Chicago Training Facility. I burned more than 60 hrs. of my own Time-Due to be trained. And then there is the Police Academy, which has instructors who are Hiding from the Street! If training is increased, it will be carried out by Clout Heavy Academy Instructors who spend their whole careers avoiding the reality of what they are teaching. If outside Contractors are hired, it will be on Clout! THE CITY IS LIKE A DRUG RESISTANT INFECTED SEX ORGAN! IT CANNOT BE CURED OR FIXED. THE DISEASED ORGAN IS TERMINAL, AND CONTAGEOUS, GET AWAY FROM IT. And Rahm's Democrat Machine is part of that Disease! Baby"G"
Stats I found report more than 9,000 murders since year 2000. doesn't include aggravated battery handgun or firearm or robberies in which the victim is shot.
So what does DOJ blame all of these incidents on ?
Is it the answer more socialization, working people contributing more of their taxed income to wanton birthing and reckless irresponsible parenting, a teachers union that holds the taxpayer by the throat demanding pay raise's and employer sponsored health care and pension while demonstrating in the public square with a media afraid to point out their unsatisfactory performance .
How about a transit system that carries working people and thugs while under reporting crime to hide the under staffing of Police. And a city gov't that allows a semi private ride sharing business that doesn't want to much scrutiny of it's employee's calling it discriminatory . The CTA still exists with Taxpayer subsidies while ride share takes away their business and activists demand more service for the "community".
The DOJ wouldn't have to be here if the "community" acted like responsible citizens raising their "spawning" instead of pushing them onto the street for target practice and sport fucking.
All of their pontificating won't solve the problem that existed here for the last 50 years. People demanding the gov't be their "daddy" won't cut it.
Hey SCC...
We'll share our initial impression regarding this
so called "report..."
In all the noise of the media, liberal progressive Trotskyite
and catered-to constituent victory shouts, one thing is
conspicuously absent.
There is absolutely no mention of how the mayor's office
and the city council were direct contributors toward the
failings and shortcomings of CPD.
You see, especially under THIS administration, the plan
going forward was to claw away as much money for
robust, top-notch and up-to-date training, equipment,
staffing and operations.
Remember Rahm The Flint-Hearted Corporatist?
"Dafuk? 40% of the municipal budget goes
to the Cops?"
Thusly:
"We're gonna stick it in the Cops ear..."
That is why training has really been allowed to
decay under the Emanuel mayoralty.
His desire to run Policing/Public Safety in Chicago
on the cheap has caught up with him big time.
Did anyone else notice during the DOJ presser,
how Rahm was contorting his face and prancing
to and fro? Especially when Lynch was at the lectern?
He wanted so badly to jump in and re-direct the spin
if not flat out physically drag Lynch away from the mic.
It's no secret Rahm is a nasty little North Shore bigot
and anyone who has paid attention has noted over the
years that Rahm has really huge personal problems
with black women in positions of authority, so his
inability to "hold his mud" so to speak, was apparent
and quite entertaining.
The "side-eye" by Lynch said it clearly...
She wasn't giving a flying fuck about Rahm anyways.
Heh...
You pick up on this "Crouching Female/Undercover Swishy"
dynamic (and other foolishness) after many years of
ghetto Policing.
Anyhoo...
Rahm is PISSED because he knows his days of
re-allocating monies away from CPD out of
personal animus and political spite are pretty
much at an end.
WAAYY too many outside eyes are watching his narrow
shitty ass now.
His political brand is now pure poison on the national stage.
The only support he has is the Gold Coast/North Shore
phony charity fundraiser, media and corporate honcho
types who have a vested interest in keeping him in office.
(Hmmm...
How goes the well funded campaign to separate
Policemen from their pensions?)
Despite the desires of the people who actually work
and pay the ruinous freight to live and move about
in this town.
As Mayor, the buck stops with Rahm
in regard to the sad and sordid state
of affairs with CPD.
Watch the weasel strip himself of his own hide
in order to avoid any culpability whatsoever.
Hmmm...
The notion of a skinned weasel laying it's
neatly folded pelt on the altar is amusing.
If the weasel is Rahm, no pain is involved,
he had his pelt surgically removed and a
zipper was artfully installed.
Easy for him to evade capture...
The report stresses all the liberal social justice buzzwords. The hypocrites don't realize that stressing the importance of legitimacy to the rank and file and usually "voiceless" after the DOJ concludes the investigation to insure that the representatives of the incumbant Trump presidency won't have input or "voice", drips with hypocracy. Prediction: Emanuel won't sign a consent decree so he can avoid what he likes but will still use it, along with other cities DOJ reports as a goad for the arbitrator to force favorable rulings against our protections. LODGE 7 will argue to the membership that there was nothing they could do. If FOP doesn't make residency in return for reform a major issue in this contract they are fools. Let the city offer tax or pay incentives to keep us living in the city. These reforms recommended will only ensure that doing police work is more tedious and won't get done. They want a foot chase policy?!?!?
They could have saved millions like the news media who get their news preparation from this "insignificant blog" by just following the blog! Even though the "dishonest media" distorts the truth published here! The report does anyone except Eddie and the pathetic gold star club really care?
Sounds like Lynch DOE et al just plagiarized The Second City Blog:
Outdated equipement
Corruption
Poor leadership
Great Job SCC
Rushed or not, the actual problems were never addressed by DOJ. They never seem to ask the obvious questions: 1. Why are certain communities the scourge of this city? My suggestion would be to pull out and give these communities what they want...NO POLICE!!! Police yourselves because you obviously know how to do it a lot better than the real police. 2. Why has the city allowed the police department to fall to unbelieveable numbers without replenishing the membership in a timely manner? We lost that battle with NATO. Kudos to us that worked it and kept the mayhem to a minimum, but it was a classic case of doing more with less which seems to be the way things are continuing to go. 3. Where does the money go, which is budgeted for let's say XXX number of sworn officers go when there are only XX number of sworn officers on the payroll?
MOST IMORTANT CONTRACT IN 20 YEARS. You new guys need to check who you unit and watch reps are and if there isn't one, become one! Tell your Sgt. you want time to go to the meeting they have to let you go. They have a lot at stake too. If he has balls he'll eat the time. Call FOP for the info don't rely on the dickhead unit rep who does it just for his dues back and a ticket to the Christmas party! Members don't make your reps eat shit but let them know you expect them to get answers. These old gooves that run the meetings lack the will to move unless you hold them accountable and jeopardize their extra money. They are like pissy old women.
This report has a much credibility as the BLM message. Glad to see that Democratic controlled DOJ is politically biased opinion that has based it's findings on everything but common sense, logic and a credible investigation. Would welcome a Trump DOJ investigation that would really get to the problems of the CPD and drain the CPD lagoon.
Off-Topic.
Received a surprise in today's mail. A new BC/BS benefits card arrived. It bears the same identification number as before 01 January 2017, but all the other numbers have been changed. Here's to TD 9.5 not being re-elected! MAGA!
Retired Guy
No mention of the 1000's shot , 100's murdered , calls of domestic violence , street disturbances , drug dealing , suspicious persons and most Important the verbal , physical assaults by these criminals against Police Officers ,Teachers and their own Family Members . Of course there will be more use of a taser , deadly force in the areas where crime is out of control . Criminals flee on foot and in vehicles , attempt to run police officers with vehicles . When apprehended many of those fleeing do not peacefully surrender . Have those investigators from DOJ put the uniform on for a few weeks and respond to all the call Chicago Police Officers do , let's see the results . It was a one sided anti police investigation from the anti police , racial dividing democratic party .
FOP WHERE ARE YOU?????
Silence is deafening
Why the hell would you do ANYTHING other than REPORTS? Let the bodies hit the floor!
I will have to say I agree Chicago police is decades behind the rest of the law enforcement world. Not that it matters but, how about getting rid of the bus driver uniforms (light blue shirts) and going to all blue like everyone else. Also maybe black and white cars and get rid of the stars, shields look better....just sayin...
That piece of garbage liberal reporter Dick Kay was just talking about this blog on WCPT 820 AM radio. Kay is a complete whack job, saying this blog is a bunch of racist cops and the blog should be shut down. Mr Kay was trying to spew hatred against this blog.
You guys should sue Dick Kay and WCPT 820 for defamation.
Though much of this report is garbage, I have to agree with their findings about training,the training division, and meritorious promotions. The system is crooked and has been for the well over 20 years I have been on the job. Ask how meritorious promotions are given, and who gets them. What is the criteria for a merit promotion, and why do some receive them time after time and good coppers don't stand a chance, and why has FOP been silent for years? The DOJ doesn't touch that. Supervision is inadequate. There are many good competent bosses out there, but there are far too many who are totally clueless.
As for the training division, there are many good competent people there and these comments are not meant to disparage them. That being said, our training has never been adequate. We have always cut corners with training, and it comes back to haunt us time and time again. Our FTO program is a joke and has been for years. How do five out of six recruits not know when to use deadly force? Everyone should know that backwards and forward. It might save your life and or your job. Are the instructors incompetent,the recruits stupid, or is it a combination of both? A streaming video that is decades old does not supersede hands on training.
It's sad when the DOJ can come in and report that promotions are based on clout and while they are in the building doing the report Special Ed does exactly that....promote EQ, someone he made Sergeant with. That entire list of Lt Merit promotions was everyone he wanted to make knowing that would possibly be the last class. The ability to be a leader and mentor means shit because he took care of his homies. And considering he's dumb as a box of rocks and can't hold a press conference without reading the entire time says it all. Why would anyone think he'd promote competent people when he's an idiot himself.
Did the DOJ investigate Gene Williams for giving answers to the Lieutenants exam to Eddie's girlfriend and others? Funny, nothing said about that.
Waiting for academy staff and bosses to be removed and demoted. And waiting.... and waiting....
The Only Code of Silence is not telling others Where you get free food.
Real change will Eddie demote examscam2016 participants that would show he really is serious if not nothing changes simple as that!
Blamed the Police .. What about the Police Managers? Poor puppets of useless Mayors Richie Daley, Emnauel
I had no idea the cops were shooting people in chicago by the hundreds. All them bodies are defiantly the fault of CPD, glad the DoJ made the probe. Now Chicago can start being safe! /s
Promotions are crooked? You mean like the supts girlfriend getting the test answers?? No one mentioned that at the DOJ press conference. No really, it's all legit
Good article on zerohedge debunking some of Lying Loretta's numbers: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-01-14/debunking-loretta-lynchs-one-sided-chicago-cops-are-racist-villains-statistics. Stay strong Chicago - this too shall pass.
when you read the entire report, one thing stands out very clear; The department is putting people in charge of units, making them commanders, when these people themselves are not qualified to lead these units. These commanders are not trained themselves and are the blind leading the blind. Politics is everything, racial politics are everything. Training is cut short on the cheap and always has been. Officers learn on the street from others and continue bad practices. The CPD has been the political patronage playground of the democrats for decades, but it surely has gotten worse under Richard M and Rahm.It will take more then a few years to turn this around.
what a HYPOCRITE rahm emanuel is...........
standing behind the podium as if he has nothing to do with the CPD being in disarray.
he is like a white jesse jackson, nobody likes you rahm

The report is B.S. I was one of the P.O.s that spoke to the DOJ and let me tell you, what they put in the report pertaining to my section was a fabrication of lies and sensationalism. Idiots spent one hour on what should have taken at least a week. Phuck you DOJ.

Did you see Tiny Dancer's fake attempt to cry, in attempt to hoard votes for next election from blacks, when he told in the press conference that racicism will not be tolerated? He should have clarified that racism goes both ways. What a fake disgrace, but the ignorant citizens will once again vote for him next time.
1/14/2017 07:59:00 AM
He's definitely the king of fake crying. He's better than my 3 year old. It's really kinda disgusting to see him do that. People should be insulted. We're not fools. Politicians will do anything for votes no matter how bad their decisions are for the greater good of the city. Sick!
Great report for Van Dyke! They pretty much blame all the mistakes made by the police on the departments poor training and policies. Hope his team is reading it.
Look for a GO on foot chases. The DOJ isn't fond of them. That's fine cause either are many of us. Young guys pay attention.
This report should really wake up the command staff to distribute police more evenly across the city. I would welcome that in the 16th district. Instances of use of force on minorities would drop significantly by virtue of the fact that there would be less officers for the people in those communities to interact with. Sure, violent crime would continue to soar in those communities but it is very apparent after reading the report that the DOJ is not concerned with that. They just want the police to never use force. Let's give them what they want.
According to the Sun Times, the Chicago Police Department is Chicago's shame.
Now go out there and put yourselves on the line for this ungrateful city!!!!!
Any officer that does is a brain dead fool
The media is causing this. This is all done on the orders of Rahm and his contacts in the media like andy Shaw's son in law of MSNBC. As we all know shaw is a big fan of Rahm and his grandsons middle name is Emanuel. DNA infos Dave Matthews has also been a Rahm sycophant fueling the BLM agenda. Joanna the commie klonsky of the progressive caucus is another trouble making cop hater whose family has deep ties to the communist party. She is also chummy with Dan m of the scum times and the radicals at Chicago votes. The criminals are now totally empowered by the DOJ and Rahm is going along for the ride as he is now loved by the activists, criminals, reverends and protesters on the south and west sides. He needs this to be reelected. We must hope the trump DOJ will investigate, indict and jail the democrats in this state and city.
Nothing will be done about the corruption in promoting friends no matter what the DOJ says. It's one big lottery for the connected They will never let it go.
Clean out the academy now. Nothing but clout babies anyway. You can bet the farm that phone calls are being made right now. I am assuming that at least one call was made to Cook County Commissioner Daley from his former grade school classmate trying to save junior's job.
Kool aid on tap for white shirts at roll call. Total confusion. Not one read the report. Blue shirt stuck between rock and hard place...crickets from union. d.o.j. report, now body cameras...this is something toxic I might walk away from...totally..including moving from city.
Hey Jackass, here is one white shirt spending his Saturday evening on his own time reading the 161 pages just so he can explain to you. Maybe you could give your bosses a couple of days to have a chance to read it before you start talking shit.

Prediction: Emanuel won't sign a consent decree so he can avoid what he likes but will still use it, along with other cities DOJ reports as a goad for the arbitrator to force favorable rulings against our protections. LODGE 7 will argue to the membership that there was nothing they could do. If FOP doesn't make residency in return for reform a major issue in this contract they are fools. Let the city offer tax or pay incentives to keep us living in the city. These reforms recommended will only ensure that doing police work is more tedious and won't get done. They want a foot chase policy?!?!?

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For the 100th time an arbitrator can NOT give you the residency issue as long as their is a state law requiring it. It is not longing to pass because there is nothing we could do to the legislators or give them to get this lifted.
Stop wasting your time and circle the wagons and stick together till the new AG throws us a life line.
TACT Sgt quoted as saying that he "hunts" at work? TACT wonder bragging to DOJ lawyers that he made 1100 arrests? You both are possibly the biggest idiots on this job. And I'm sure Sgt you were a Merit bitch.

The Sgt was definitely merit.
A true fucking retard, who could not understand that when taking a PROMOTIONAL EXAM you always do the correct thing like pulling a log numbers, calling a SWAT, etc.
Now somebody has promoted this retard and given him a team young retards who think they are on a TV show and say stupid shit to people that are investigating your organization for CIVIL RIGHTS ABUSES. Think about that stroke. They are investigating you for violating civil rights and your dumb fucking ass thinks you're impressing some lawyer who hates your fucking guts by saying, most likely without being prompted because you're a fuckhead that you have 1,100 arrests. You do know he probably went home cried to his cat and has been thinking of a way to charge you with 1100 separate civil rights violations ever since? If that motherfucker had his way, you would be on trial at The Hague and your stupid fucking mouth wont stop talking.
But they will provide the numbers for the MERIT TACT LT to make Captain and MERT SGT DUMBFUCK to take his stupid fucking ass to a unit full of equally heavy heavy and hopeful merit retards to lead him to a MERIT LT spot.
Chicago, Cook County, and the CPD, are the gold standard of political corruption.....the best in the business, as it might be described....
I will have to say I agree Chicago police is decades behind the rest of the law enforcement world. Not that it matters but, how about getting rid of the bus driver uniforms (light blue shirts) and going to all blue like everyone else. Also maybe black and white cars and get rid of the stars, shields look better....just sayin...

And the biggest handjob award goes to....👆🏽
You know i watched the bullshit anti-police lying conference pathetic and disgusting then rahm with the fake tears and his talking about racisim and discrimination "will not be tolearted" anywhere on CPD I thought huh remember this title:
'Your skin is your sin': Chicago cops sue over demotion from Emanuel detail
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/08/17/your-skin-is-your-sin-chicago-cops-sue-over-demotion-from-emanuel-detail.html
Excerpt:
Commander Brian Thompson, a defendant in the suit who is black, allegedly told one of the officers "the color of your skin is your sin" when the officer asked about the discrepancy.
Hmm mayor would this be racist? or is that OK because he is your head valet? news media low hanging fruit!
Now Chicago and Baltimore have both signed Consent decrees with the Feds at "gunpoint". Funny that not one of the breathless and excited news organizations has noticed which party has been running these cities and in charge of these supposed "racist" police departments for decades ain't it?
I'm sure it was some desk sergeant or street cop that sat on the McDonald video for over a year until after the election and authorized that $5 million payout to his parents.
What a load of crap!
1/14/2017 11:00:00 AM
Chicago has NOT signed a consent decree. Learn to read.
For all those non-deserving merit hacks: go F yourselves!
The message was pretty clear to me. YOU ARE NOT PROPERLY TRAINED. Seems to me that any cop who got fired has a strong law suit. Any cop in trouble now has a strong defence. And any cop who does anything before being properly trained is out of his mind.
Democrats have budget priorities. Cops and crime fighting are usually at the bottom of those priorities. Welfare, buying votes and pleasing minorities and fringe groups are at the top, along with gaining wealth for the political leadership.
How many years have we been saying clean out the academy and all the instructors??? Really at least 5 years now!
Can someone please tell me what page is the report of the 4300 people shot and the 800 people murdered on I can't seem to find it?
I am a PO in 006, my Sergeant is black, my Lieutenant is black, my Captain is black, my Commander is black, my a Deputy Chief is black, my Chief is black, my 1st Deputy is Hispanic, and my Superintendent is black. Do you think that made the report? What the hell is a Hispanic doing in my chain of command!
I didn't know Capt O'Shea was black???
Just give them the police department they want. Go to your jobs, and write the paper. Do your time, enjoy your family, get your pension and get out

Not surprising, a lot of what the rank and file have been saying for years. Lets get the unqualified instructors out of the Academy, promote truly deserving merit officers/supervisors, and lets hold each other accountable.
1/14/2017 10:12:00 AM
Look who is in charge of the academy? He has been there for 5 years and what has changed? The one criteria for assignment to the academy is clout. I do not understand why the press does not interview Calloway and ask why training is behind the times? Why a instructor used a video that is 35 years old? I bet Calloway could not answer serious questions about the academy. Most of the staff tries to maintain high standards for training but there is no support and a horrible lack of leadership from the front office. The instructors are using the same methods of training for the last 20 years. Nothing has changed.
Tact, once again proving just how stupid they can be. "Go hunting" really? Bragging about 1,000 arrests? These blue jean idiots never fail to amaze.

Kool aid on tap for white shirts at roll call. Total confusion. Not one read the report. Blue shirt stuck between rock and hard place...crickets from union. d.o.j. report, now body cameras...this is something toxic I might walk away from...totally..including moving from city.
Hey Jackass, here is one white shirt spending his Saturday evening on his own time reading the 161 pages just so he can explain to you. Maybe you could give your bosses a couple of days to have a chance to read it before you start talking shit.

Everybody should read it. Don't trust what other people tell you it says. You can already tell people are commenting without reading it.
TD 9.5 is done. Preckdinkle has his demise on her radar. He can cry all day and pander all the time. It will do no good. His goose is cooked. Buh-bye raccoon face. Don't forget to take your wedding dress and tu-tu with you when you relocate.
Boy Im so glad I dont have to go out there anymore.
You poor fucks. I feel for you.
Fuck you Dick Kay .... I thought you were dead!!!
Between isis, black gangs, mexican gangs and social media President Trump has his work cut out for him. May the good Lord Bless him. And GO PACKERS!
Johnson:
“Since I became superintendent you've seen that we are doing things differently,” said Superintendent Johnson on Good Day Chicago Saturday. “We are getting videos out a lot quicker, we are taking decisive action when we see problem areas and so we are going to build on that, but believe me we recognize that CPD has to get better.”
http://www.fox32chicago.com/news/local/229231281-story
Ha HA! Since he's become superintendent, crime and homicides have gone up!
1982 documentary on CPD and the job issues. Long to watch but very accurate.

From NYC, do yourselves a favor and be as non proactive as possible. At the end of the day, when things go pear shaped, you will not see your bosses stick up for you. You will be alone and a large organization like the Chicago PD and NYPD can be very lonely places for officers when things go bad. The only time you guys should be running is to back each other up. Otherwise, show up to the scene slowly, obey all traffic laws with lights and sirens, and take a report. I have yet seen an officer get fired for just taking a report. Protect yourselves and your pensions and your family's financial security. Let the perps get away and take a report. It's not cowardice. It is self preservation. Any officer or boss that thinks they are "making a difference" and the job on the level, avoid them like they have Ebola. Let them hang themselves when they are on their 1100th arrest and become a member of the Youtube police brutality snippit of the week. My retirement is coming soon and not soon enough. Anyone that is retiring, don't walk. Run.
DK is still alive? Another insignificant media hack. I can smell the alcohol breath from here.
Just makes my job even easier! I love it!

Foot chase policy. That say it all.
1/14/2017 07:02:00 AM
I work the burbs. We have one. It's a liability thing. It doesn't say you can't chase but it spells out when it would be stupid to chase or continue to...i.e. you don't know your location and you're by yourself, which is normal for us.

Great report for Van Dyke! They pretty much blame all the mistakes made by the police on the departments poor training and policies. Hope his team is reading it.
1/14/2017 04:48:00 PM
Not so much. He was the only shooter. He looks like the one dope not following training.
Our union blows donkey balls . They should be holding press conferences defending this bullshit.
All these liberals crying about CPD being racist and yet none of them asks the question about which political party has been running this shithole into the ground. Funny how they never point to themselves as the ones to blame.
Im predicting over 1000 murders this year. Let It Burn!!!
It is very interesting that McCarthy was never interviewed. Makes you wonder why.
I would like to point out just one example of the extreme incompetence and bias that is ingrained into this DOJ report.
On page 25, the DOJ reports that CPD shot fleeing persons "who posed no immediate threat." The DOJ then states that just because a person has a weapon, police can only use deadly force if they are threatened with the weapon. The DOJ then sites three federal appeals court cases (no Supreme Court cases) justifying this rule. The DOJ is intentionally misleading the reader. None of these cases involve foot pursuits. Cooper v Sheehan was a shooting where police did not identify themselves, knocked on a trailer window, and then shot a person when he came to the door with a shotgun. Curnow was shot through the window of his home by an officer after he picked up a gun when police, unannounced, tried to break down his door. Williams, was actually two cases where police shot people threatening suicide in their own homes, and the police were still given qualified immunity.
These are the cases they used to "justify" that police cannot shoot armed offenders fleeing police. The cases they cite are intentionally misleading. They are lying. The DOJ's presumption that persons fleeing officers on foot while armed with guns pose "no immediate threat" is blatantly false and is against federal case law, and the DOJ knows this.
The most recent case was a Supreme Court case Mullenix v Luna (ruled 8-1 in favor of the officer who shot a suspect fleeing in a vehicle who had told dispatchers he was armed and would shoot police). The DOJ did not mention this case in their report.
Good job Lori u heard of dine and dash..u just created dine and die! 1200
Homicides in 2017
Pencil pushing, chair polishing, Monday morning quarterbacks haven't a clue about necessary force. If I disremember correctly, when it's time to get violent you above and beyond to initially control the opponent psychologically, further resistance results in lights out............
"I have never seen anything like that video," Smith said of the footage showing Van Dyke shooting McDonald 16 times, including many shots while he lay prone in the street. "… One of the things that was shocking was not just the shooting but the fact that everybody knew the moment it happened they had to go into cover-up mode."
From the tribune quoting Jonathan Smith who works for the DOJ.
HEY Johnathan baby Potus' former chief of covered it up to win re-election did you mention that is your report??? POS You and Lynch have to days to go after RAHM.
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-01-14/debunking-loretta-lynchs-one-sided-chicago-cops-are-racist-villains-statistics
Let's stop racist policing!
Let's stop adding cops to 003-007, 009-011 & 015 and add them to 001, 002, 008, 012, 014, 016-020, 022, 024 and bury 025 cuz it's shit
Let's stop targeted missions, gang missions, traffic missions, etc
Let's remove the race code from all reports
Let's remove all mobile, saturation, gang, tact, gun, narcotics and any other "enforcement" teams
Let's make a VRI 016 North and VRI 022 South
Let's target white people.. oh wait that's racist... oh wait it's not.
Because as patrol officers we have the "power" to determine the targeted areas and districts. We determine where to allocate manpower. We all collectively volunteered to drive an hour from our safe, under-policed neighborhoods to the ghettos we work.
Hmmm.. last I checked the missions, districts, areas and communities which I am required to conduct police enforcement is not MY choice. Thanks to this report, no other law enforcement agency will hire me because of the racist department I work for.
Time to get rid of the Use of Force "experts" in the academy including the "expert" Sgt because the DOJ just deemed them and their training as inadequate. They will be totally useless as experts for court or police board hearings. They failed to train ten of thousands of officers.
