No Good Deed..... (UPDATE)

Great job there Klimas:

• The Chicago Police Department is investigating one of its officers after he helped three young girls found living in an abandoned home. The officer set up a GoFundMe page for the girls who were known as the Englewood Angels. The police department said the officer violated its policy by helping the girls.
  
  Chicago Police Sergeant Charles Artz is learning that no good deed goes unpunished. After discovering the deplorable conditions the girls were living in, Artz launched the effort to raise money and supplies for the kids and the grandmother who agreed to take care of them. Dolores Anderson has a roof over her head and, for now, enough food and clothes to help raise her granddaughters who were found living in squalor just a few months ago.
  
  [...] Anderson said she would be homeless and the girls would be living in foster care if it wasn't for the generosity of 7th district Chicago police officers. With approval from his superiors, Artz spearheaded an effort to raise money through a GoFundMe page. Now, Artz is under investigation for violating police department policy.

So who are the "superiors" who granted the approval and why aren't they stepping forward to take their share of the hit? Are these teflon-superiors? Special lieutenants from some special units? The commander is one of the twins running the two worst districts in the city. It would seem that this one didn't get his fair share of testosterone in the womb.

• "I believe it is waste of time, energy and money because he is a good man. I have good feelings about people and he is one of the best," Anderson said.
  
  Artz is accused of violating rule 52 which prohibits officers of seeking or soliciting contributions of any kind from anyone. The complaint against him was lodged by CPD Internal Affairs Commander Robert Klimas.
  
  Calling the policy obscure and outdated, Chicago police sergeant's union president Jim Ade said the investigation is just another nail in the coffin for police morale. "Take a guy running across the street saving someone from a burning building and three months later he gets a ticket for jay walking, that is what the department is doing," he said.
  
  And saving the three young girls is exactly what Anderson and Artz's supporters said he has done. Now the police sergeant has a complaint on his record. "He didn't discharge his weapon on nobody, he didn't beat nobody, he didn't curse at nobody, I mean, he stepped out to help some babies," Andrew Holmes, community activist, said.
  
  Holmes and the police sergeants' union said the Artz investigation sends the wrong message during a time when police superintendent Eddie Johnson is calling for more positive interaction between police and the community. Even if Artz is exonerated, he will always have a complaint logged on his record.

The grandmother isn't complaining. The community activist isn't complaining. No one in Englewood is complaining (which is a miracle in and of itself). The only one complaining is the Commander of IAD, a Bureau currently in the crosshairs of the biggest (known) promotional scandal in Department history.

And if Special Ed had a single hair on his sack, that commander would be back in a District working midnights by this weekend. You want "positive interaction" Ed? And this stroke files a complaint against the sergeant? You and he can both go fuck yourselves if this isn't remedied immediately.

UPDATE: Comments are saying that this is the last of the feebs that J-Fled brought over to run the department, and he can't be demoted. That brings up a whole new theory. He isn't (and can't) get a pension from CPD, and he can't collect unemployment unless he's fired, so he did this to piss off everyone, up to and including Burke and Rahm, who already signed off on a City Council resolution saluting his "community interaction."

Voila! Fired....and an unemployment check! Is that plausible?
