Have Some Pride

These pictures popped up in our e-mail along with some humorous commentary:


Now, we realize when you volunteer for the CAPS office, you become the Department's bitch. You might need the hours for family, you might need a better shot at promotion, you might be sleeping with someone connected. In the rarest of instances, you might actually believe in the CAPS philosophy, despite years and mountains of evidence of it being nothing but a money grab for inflated salaries, steering contracts to certain individuals, a stepping stone for the connected and a harem for those with a taste for ....you get the picture.

But we're pretty sure that raking and sweeping alleys is a function of Streets and Sanitation.

And if Streets and San isn't doing it, maybe one of Dart's SWAP details where the "non violent" criminals can clean up the neighborhoods they help ruin.

And, horror of horrors, how about the fucking neighborhood denizens pick up a broom, rake, or shovel and stop relying on government to do the job an actual community is supposed to do for itself?

This is just another example of the police being used as social workers, to make up for (and be blamed for) the failings of a political philosophy and its adherents. We do our raking and alley maintenance on our own time in our own alleys. If you're being paid to be the police, you shouldn't be handling a broom at $90,000 per year.

How soon until Streets and San files a labor grievance for CAPS outsourcing their job?

Chicago Streets and Sanitation has not had a broom, rake and/or shovel on a garbage truck in 60 years! And, why would we make a beef about another part of city government tidying an alley or two? S&S would win and then our people would actually be required to use a broom, rake and/or shovel! No thank you! You CAPS officers go right ahead and keep cleaning up them allies. Streets and Sanitation? Nope! We good!

If the residents had a moral compass they wouldn't need the police to sweep alleys, streets or any other activity. Shit like this should be taught at home or at the very least in grade school. Not from the police being the neighborhood bitch, another example of gov doing what individuals should be doing.

I have zero respect for anyone in a CAPS office, unless that have a legit work related injury or an old-timer who worked the street for 25 years. The desk dollies, empty holsters who have been in there 10, 15, 20+ years since they were out of probation, Fuck 'em! What would help the manpower shortage is empty all sworn personnel from CAPS, cut the district gang/tact teams in half, and eliminate all but 1 sworn member in the Commanders office.
Until you have been in a beat car handling job year after year, and sometimes your entire career, STFU. Don't forget, Patrol is the BACKBONE of the department and always will be and is shit on routinely, not even getting a 15 minute duck, that you'd have to beg for. Even if I was an elite or ass-kisser, I wouldn't want a CAPS position, it's called self respect, let alone be caught sweeping a damn alley. Pathetic!

SCC, consider having a contest for the most outlandish things they have the police doing, instead of what they should be doing, like law enforcement. The districts have facebook and twitter to show you what they are doing. Some of them are unbelievable. My entry goes back to the 020 CAPS twitter on 24 Apr where they have a photos of the sgt and po standing next to piles of boxes of baby wipes they are going to deliver to the baby mamas at Maryville nursery. What ever happened to the Dept of Human Resourses, shouldn't they be doing a lot of this?

What a fucking disgusting display.

Anyone... ANYONE that allows themselves to be whored-out by this fucking job - especially for ungrateful savages such as those that inhabit the majority of the 900 N block of Springfield - needs to head to HQ to turn in their button and ID.

This exhibit almost surpasses coppers holding hands in prayer at Beat(off) Meetings "because we felt obligated to" on the Officer Degradation Scale.

You feel like playing Officer Friendly? Well then how about you cut grass, shovel snow or grocery shop for people who actually appreciate such efforts? You know, like veterans who've honorably served our country or other citizens who've actually contributed to society their entire lives. Not some third or fourth generation Entitlement Sponges who call the police because they can't control their 7 year old or because Baby Daddy ain't bought no Pampers.

There's an able bodied motherfucker every 10 fucking feet on that block. They're durable enough to stand outside all day, everyday in all weather conditions to sell dope, fight, fuck, eat, drink, gangbang, bang off pistols, run from coppers dumb enough to still chase them and cause all kinds of general mayhem and misery. These assholes will be the same ones watching and laughing at the CPD chumps picking up the very same garbage they deposited.

Seriously, it's totally past time to just write off and abandon some of these neighborhoods and let them take care of their own problems or just implode.

The Community Policing and Aldermen offices have community days. They have "Paper Shredding Days", Green Thumb Days. they help organize Block Clubs, they have holiday parties, and trip days. They spend a lot of time together while you sit in your beat car passing gas. CAPS receive a stipend that has to be used on the community members. Therefore, they may help the senior purchase cleaning supplies. I'm sure the officers are just making it look good for the picture.These officers will and have gained much respect in their districts. The same is true for most community policing officers, except for the do nothings. Some of you wise guys are too out of touch with the communities you patrol, that's why you're constantly completing TRR's. That's why you have to use force during each of your encounters. Your Sgt's are sick of you! These officers are the smart ones. So, tell me again about how you will never do this.. then follow up with how your commander never even considered you.

More than the guys working late and in court all the time. Hey HK you better hurry up getting your business up and running before the worst commander in history retires and they figure out your scam.
To all the P.O.'s out there if you're ever involved in a shooting demand a PFI process your scene because despite what Murphy's suckholes tell you E.T.'s are not trained to do it. Hey media trolls, there's a story in itself handed to you all you have to do is write it!

And this guy has tak home car. For what? Forensics is at the top for OT in the city every year but take a look at the breakdown within the unit. The majority of those (like HK) who make the most are inside spots. How is that possible? How are FI's and ET's who work inside Monday through Friday make more the the ones working the streets? Must be nice to make your own OT time. Add to the fact that there are at least 20 plus FI's/ ET's working inside. That is 20% plus of the the unit manpower. Now you know why it takes hours somethimes to get on at your scene or a burglary victim does not see one for a whole day sometimes.

How shameful. Any Commander that allows, or even expects this from their officers should be ashamed of themselves. We are the police, we are not social workers, garbage men or other classes of social service provider. We maintain order and the rule of law. How could anyone, any poloce officer with any sense of self worth stoop to this level. CAPS or tact spots dont matter, and for the coppers to stoop down and do this says more about them than the puke of a commander who allows it. No spot is worth that shame or humiliation, NONE! I'm not a PO, I am a boss, and I will tell you, no one that I supervise will ever do anything like this. I would be humiliated if this were to occur in my presence, and would not allow it. I don't care what your position is on this job, it is not to clean the cast offs of any community, and anyone with any respectable level of self worth would be doing it. We are professional law enforcement officers damnit, start acting like it. Bring society up to our level, do not stoop to theirs, and do not think for one minute of participating in the freebie giveaways that go unappreciated either, if you do you're just a shmuk that works for them. Helping an old lady with a grocery bag, or an old-timer trying to straighten up his fence is appropriate, handing out freebies to unappreciative parasites or cleaning up the trash they throw down and refuse to pick up themselves is not. The people in these photos should be ashamed and embarrassed, we are ashamed of you and for you. If we need to have a car standing by while some community resident established group cleans up, so be it, that's ok, we'll keep an eye on you in out spare time, but this? How shameful!

More food for thought. How does an administrative Sgt. (M.O.) make $40,00 in OT working inside Monday through Friday? This amount is more than DOUBLE any Sgt working the watch in the Unit. A Sgt who does not work any overtime initiative makes more than a Sgt working the street?

You and 9.5 are so afraid of the loudest most ignorant 1% that you forgot about the rest of the real community that are trapped in these shithole neighborhoods that really need real police officers like the ones you relieve of their duties for doing a job that no one else can, or will.

Signed,

310am epitomizes what is wrong with this department.

Talk about being "out of touch". 310am's whole post is out of touch.

Keep drinking that Koolaid, kissing the asses of "people" that hate us, spending money on those that "can't afford" cleaning supplies (but always seem to drive new cars, always have new high end clothing and shoes, multiple flat screen TVs and cash for expensive liquor and weed).

Yeah, keep dreaming that these officers have "gained much respect" in those communities. The only thing they've gained is a reputation of being a "punk" or a "bitch". The rest of us that actually have to deal with the savages day in and day out in the real world called "pushing a beat car" will be the ones paying the price when we get continually challenged and defied by "da communerty".

But you wouldn't know any of this because you've never been the police hiding in that CAPS office with nary a hash mark on your sleeve.

I hope this hasn't distracted you from assembling book bags full of "free" school supplies to hand out at the desk in your ghetto district. Heads up! You'll probably have to handcarry some of those bags out to cars curbside - you see, mama just got her nails did and can't risk them until dried completely. I'm sure she'll acknowledge you with a "thanks officer, I can't tell you how much we appreciate this" even though she's blabbing away on that new smartphone.

Don't forget to give 110% so your commander "considers" you when it's time for that first bite from the Merit Apple. Me? I'd never sell my soul to perpetuate The Big Lie. I'll retire a PO, but my dignity and pride will be intact.

You, my friend, are a fucking chump.

Talk about keeping the lid on society's proverbial trashcan.

Now if we can get these empty holsters with police stars dangling from their necks community social justice warriors to slap on the cuffs on those criminal type community disorganizers. Make an actual criminal arrest. Obtain a positive community inter-action event number for you daily activity humper. Next complete and fill in all boxes of a CLEAR application entitled "arrest" not to be confused with Amazon Prime or Facebook, Take out your community room markers and draw four numbers on the hands of your bad guy before shipping him or her off to lockup. Then these community disorganizers can take a ride on the short county bus to the sprawling under utilized Judge Leighton social justice campus at 26 & California. This is a publically funded affordable public housing community for low income bad people and folks who cannot afford bail.

Thats how to fill the Leighton complex trashcan, Fill the Leighton trashcan with criminals to the rim. The murder epidemic problems will not go away or be solved by filling a blue cart with discarded flaming hot chip bags, spent 9mm casings, emptied tin foil packets or untaxed grape pop containers.

Take it easy!!!!
I am very sure the residents of the 900 N Block of Springfield are and have been very supportive of the police and policing actions in the neighborhood so this is probably a good thing.

Remember, it's "one block at a time" and I am also sure that the surrounding blocks like 800 or 900 Avers or even Harding are wishful for the police to be in their alley or on their block next cleaning up.

Finally, remember it's about "the children" and my google maps shows me how this location is so close to one of the most inspiring neighborhood schools that CPS makes available WITHOUT an application process, so again, it's a good thing.

Thank you officers, thank you for getting out there, thank you for caring enough about your "uniform" to dress down in your own personal attire to help an empovershed community attempt to bounce back.

It's sad what this department has turned into. Clean your own alley; that's not our job. More pandering to a community who continues to take more and more and has less and less personal responsibility.

I live out in the burbs, and one morning I was leaving the house when I noticed some little rascals from the night before had grabbed garbage bags that had been left out the previous night and proceeded to rip them open and strew the contents in the street.

I could have done what a lot of people do, even in the suburbs, and contacted the public works department to have them come out and clean up the mess. After all, anything discarded on the street, no matter its origin, is their responsibility.

Instead I went back in the house, grabbed a large garbage bag, and returned to the garbage lying on the ground and proceeded to pick it up. I didn't do the whole block, but I covered the area right around my house and a couple of neighbors.

And the reason I did it is because IMO, that's what you do. Our public works department is pretty good anyway, and I figured they had better things to do with their time.

Hail Fella!
A stout cup of coffee raised in
your general direction.

The salutory two-finger pour of the
Cask-Strength Maker's Mark Bourbon will
come later in the day.
😏

"Able-Bodied Muthafuckah."

Let take a deep dive into that phrase and examine
it's increasing urgency and relevance.

"Able-Bodied Muthafuckah."

We tried for many years to educate the willfully
blind and blissfully unaware about the very real
dangers embodied by the "Able-Bodied
Muthafuckah" and those who support, enable,
embrace, politically empower and socially embolden
the "Able-Bodied Muthafuckah."

We dearly wish we could inflict the proper punishment
upon the rest of "Polite Society" for enabling this city to
riotously rot to the degree that it has.

(Nobody wants to bone-up and have a real hard
talk about how REAL citizenship doesn't just
come in the pretty gift paper of "Rights."

Citizenship also comes with hard, heavy and
awkward stuff like "Duty" and "Responsibility."

Of which the city of Chicago as a whole, has
failed miserably.)

The punishment would be to observe and interact with the
"Able-Bodied Muthafuckah" for as long as we have
and pay the same toll physically, mentally and emotionally.

"You Cops just nurse an outsized grudge and
animosity against everybody that isn't you!"

Nothing like seeing up close for many years
how tilted the scales are in this town and how
corrosive the long term effects are.

"Able-Bodied Muthafuckah."

Got legs like fucking iron from wandering
from place to place all damned day.

(Let that be a note to you young pups out
there getting your adrenaline rush while
sloughing off the advice of those who have
been to where you think you're trying to go.)

"Able-Bodied Muthafuckah" indeed does:

Eat. Sleep. Shit. Fight. Fuck. Steal.
Ruin everything that falls to their grasp.

Even grass refuses to grow where they abide.

And the most ironic thing of all?

The "Able-Bodied Muthafuckah" with the aid
of white-guilt addled Progressives who have
embraced the evil that is Collectivism, have
grasped The Policeman firmly by his ankles
and yanked him a great many rungs down
the societal hierarchy ladder and have
ascended to that spot formerly occupied
by Policemen.

This shit doesn't occur in a vacuum...

Society gave its nodding assent due to
the bullshit narration that it is The Police
who are the problem and it is The Police
who are in need of being "Reformed" and
that if The Police would just stop resisting
"Reform," and accept "De-Funding," by some
miracle, the violence, death and destruction
occurring in "The Community" would cease.

Police Like You Have No Friends.

The Community Policing and Aldermen offices have community days. They have "Paper Shredding Days", Green Thumb Days. they help organize Block Clubs, they have holiday parties, and trip days. They spend a lot of time together while you sit in your beat car passing gas. CAPS receive a stipend that has to be used on the community members. Therefore, they may help the senior purchase cleaning supplies. I'm sure the officers are just making it look good for the picture.These officers will and have gained much respect in their districts. The same is true for most community policing officers, except for the do nothings. Some of you wise guys are too out of touch with the communities you patrol, that's why you're constantly completing TRR's. That's why you have to use force during each of your encounters. Your Sgt's are sick of you! These officers are the smart ones. So, tell me again about how you will never do this.. then follow up with how your commander never even considered you.

Lionel's Response: That's some su-weet propaganda but no one is buying it. Not anymore. If you really are so proud of CAPS and believed in what you're selling you wouldn't have posted anonymously. If the 11th District officers in the picture really believed in that "community" they wouldn't be wearing their body armor and firearms around women and children. I'm glad you mentioned a "stipend". For complete disclosure and transparency can you tell the taxpayers what this dollar amount is please?
Veteran police officers understand the good intentions behind the CAPS program but we know the sordid reality. For citizens reading this, CAPS was a community policing strategy from the 1990's. It was a guide for police to do what they should be doing anyway. It has now become political, corrupt and counterproductive. It's a safe office spot with part-time hours for police who don't want to work the street anymore, can't make hard decisions and don't like working at night. It allows the supervisors and aldermen access to young officers and badge bunnies so they can play grab-ass ("spend a lot of time together") and prep them for merit promotions (all on the taxpayers' dime). It drains manpower (and apparently money) from the watches and beat cars that actually handle 911 calls, put themselves in jeopardy and arrest criminals (you know actual police work). I don't begrudge the officers in that Facebook post. They have found a safe spot and have to do what they have to do to keep it and get that promotion later on. I also hope that this city becomes safe enough one day that CAPS work like this is all there is to do.

Rauner signs immigration, automatic voter registration bills into law

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-bruce-rauner-immigration-voting-met-0829-20170828-story.html

Excerpt:Known as the Trust Act, the new law would prohibit state and local police in Illinois from arresting or detaining a person solely because of their immigration status, or based on a federal immigration detainer. The law would, however, allow law enforcement officials to hold someone if a judge has issued a warrant.

So they cannot be held on federal immigration detainer, and automatic voter registration, Bruce go and count your millions your finished asshole!

Watch how many come here,and then we are losing multi-millions starting Friday from the feds as rahm and the others pathetically disobey federal immigration laws why are they all not arrested yet?

If you didn't know that CAPS receives a "stipend" then you shouldn't be commenting. As always you're on the outside looking in. Trying hard to be in the know. It's not about transparency, that public knowledge duhhh! Find out how your department works. CAPS stipends been around long before EJ.

I was involved in something like this years ago as a PPO. Didn't have a choice as it was sprung on us last minute. It was set up by a caps person and a PO way too eager to get their face in the newspapers. It was supposed to be a local High school kids and cops "cleaning the streets" event. As the kids and the cops were working up a sweat sweeping and picking up garbage I noticed several groups of adult and youth locals sitting on their stoops drinking their beer grinning at us as we cleaned THEIR front lawn. They didn't even flinch to lift a finger. The other only adult ( non police) involved was the local alderman as there was a reporter with a camera floating around.

It was then as a recruit that I realized that the community is beyond any repair. And how bullshit and a farce these type of events really are. Sorry if this is negative but this is what I witnessed. It may be well intentioned but it only serves as window dressing for those who are politically involved.

This is hilarious! Wait to Dart the Dart has correctional officers bringing food to the children and families of the shitheads who are being detained because you in the blue have arrested them! Correctional Officers are going to be tasked to conduct staffings in the presence of their families and tell them they have been allowed their mandated illinois county jail standards timeouts and opportunities to gamble and watch VH1!

I was hired in Dec of 78. January 13 and 14th of 1979 a blizzard hit Chicago. The city is at a standstill. The politicians are in panic mode. We recruits got a call to report to the academy on Sunday. For what? To shovel snow! We were put in wagons and taken to various CTA locations to clear switches and platforms. The next mayor election went to Jane Byrne.

As a former caps sgt I believe that caps' main purpose is to get votes for politicians. Period. We would hold events to shmooze the seniors, (in my district especially)make the business people feel special and give the lower income residents free shit. Sometimes we would try to actually help people that needed real help and couldn't get help from anywhere else but that was not the norm. And of course the beat meetings where I actually tried to tell citizens the truth but usually would piss half of them off. Some of the DAC money we had to use was once taken from our north side district and redistributed to south side districts. Totally political like every other thing the CPD does. Some CAPS officers are hard workers and sometimes the job does suck but overall I found them to be a bunch of future merit hopefuls and not too hard working. Boy did I learn during my time there but I would never do it again. As far as sweeping goes it is completely inappropriate and an embarrassment.

Laborers Local 1001 is aware of this. Obviously Chicago has more than enough police officers and overtime is not needed if the CPD is sending its sworn officers into the alleys. Fridays is bulk pickup day, tell the CAPS office. Bring their own gloves, one ten minute coffee break and one thirty minute lunch. If you have to use the bathroom, use the alley.

The Community Policing and Aldermen offices have community days. They have "Paper Shredding Days", Green Thumb Days. they help organize Block Clubs, they have holiday parties, and trip days. They spend a lot of time together while you sit in your beat car passing gas. CAPS receive a stipend that has to be used on the community members. Therefore, they may help the senior purchase cleaning supplies. I'm sure the officers are just making it look good for the picture.These officers will and have gained much respect in their districts. The same is true for most community policing officers, except for the do nothings. Some of you wise guys are too out of touch with the communities you patrol, that's why you're constantly completing TRR's. That's why you have to use force during each of your encounters. Your Sgt's are sick of you! These officers are the smart ones. So, tell me again about how you will never do this.. then follow up with how your commander never even considered you.

I only pass gas in the car when I'm by myself and because the mayor won't hire in any real numbers I've been working by myself in the car lately and you guessed it I'm blasting away like it's the 4th of July. Maybe CAPS can pay for air fresheners in police cars from their stipend because its getting pretty bad. Oh I said the magic word: stipend. And CAPS is buying old folks on the west side cleaning supplies with city money? Is that their reward for creating thousands of crackheads in the 80s? I think the rest of the old folks in Chicago who never received any of the stipend should file a complaint. Its misuse of funds. Its redirecting monies in the wrong direction. Didn't Jesse Jr. hit the big house for that? Fuck dude I think you just ratted out your alderman. And thanks for reminding me not to give a fuck about what people who are less than human think of me. And I've never done a TRR and never will. I show up 5 minutes after the shit happens and hand out a copy of the case report, get back in my gas filled car and head out. Fuck dude how can you do a TRR if you ain't stopping anybody?

What's next? Maybe we are required to join them for dinner."

To 8/28/2017 03:30pm, it was NOT Ja Mal Green's event. He attended several events throughout the city donating backpacks for the school children. It was the 007th District's event. Yes there has been history associated with JaMal Green and CPD, not all positive and certainly this is not stated in his defense. But if we can change his and his followers outlook on us and through this, make it safer for US to go out there and work in this challenging district every day, wasn't it worth it?
That's loyalty to the troops, in my opinion. Their safety comes first. Ask yourself, what did YOU do to help out, besides get on the computer and bash things that you didn't take the time ask about or understand and stir up senseless, uninformed rhetoric. If you feel so strongly about it, I suggest you go to the second floor and ask the Commander what was his reasoning for allowing this. I'm sure he can explain it to you face to face. But I suspect you won't. That takes courage. Bashing it on SCC anonymously does not.
And you know who this is....
