Not Cool
- If you've harbored fantasies of throwing a pie at a policeman or policewoman's face, or just think it would be a fun activity, Tuesday night is your night.
As part of the the community-focused National Night Out, the Shakespeare Police District will host a pie toss with all suggested donations for each toss ($1) or full on smash ($5) going to the Police Memorial Foundation.
The "pie the police" fundraiser is one of several activities planned for the family-friendly event, scheduled for 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the station, 2150 N. California Ave. in Logan Square.
We're all for fun, families and laughter, but was this really a good idea? People are throwing all sorts of crap at police - verbally and physically already. Why even encourage this sort of behavior and pass it off as "fun"? And using this set-up?
Nothing like playing into the stereotypes - something like a dunk tank would have been far better.

Of course the ass hats over at 014 caps. Who else
We will never all band together. Too many egos and captains on the ship
Whomever hatched this idea is a complete tool.
The Commander should get dumped for this nonsense.
Relax everyone, its good clean innocent fun.
How stupid! Let's look like fools and continue to get shit on. There's plenty of ways to get money for the memorial and this isn't one of them. Throw pies at the alderscum instead.
Anybody wanna bet they had Herbert Pulgar (City sticker boy) draw this board up?
Agreed. Enough with the self-deprecating crap. Quit sucking up to the community.
It's all good clean fun and it helps the community to relieve frustrations with the po po.
And people think its justified or deserved. Any other profession getting pies thrown at them by the angry mob? How about the slugs who put Illinois into debt by the tune of $250 billion?
Any officer who puts their face in that is a fucking moron.
Pie the politicians would be better.
Where is the cutout for Rahm?
Or a nice car show and family oriented picnic
Cops are supposed to have a sense of humor about this? Fuck that.
We have to somehow find a way to pay back this asshole city for demeaning us. It keeps getting worse.
Pretty lame. I remember my grandfather telling me that back in the day, when they had their version of 'Night Out,' (I forgot what the hell he said they called it back then) former boxing middleweight champion Tony Zale was brought in to show fights on a film projector of his classic bouts with Rocky Graziano.
No wonder these tykes grow up to be entitled pussies. Instead of throwing crap at us, they should be learning how to brawl and punching each other in the face! In all seriousness, whomever came up with this is a dipshit and a real asshole. Doesn't surprise me the brain trust of 014 approved this poor taste in judgement. I still remember how bad that district sucked and blowed to work in when little Maria was the commander, running around and yelling like a spazz for petty nonsense.
You would think anyone who harbored fantasies about throwing a pie at a cop wouldn't want to attend a national night out hosted by the police unless you were an ultra progressive delusional communist liberal. Only in america. Thanks Marxist brainwashing.
How about this? Every time somebody throws a pie at the cop, the cop gets to kick the motherfucker in the ribs. Now we got us a game. I'm in.
I get that the money is for a god charity, but what a fucking embarrassment.
There was absolutely nothing malicious about the event. Everyone involved had a blast and raised a nice amount of money for the memorial fund. Half a dozen officers, a sargeant, a lieutenant and an alderman all took one for the team for a good cause. The concern is viable but the way it was presented created a fun, funny and family atmosphere. There was nothing about a coppers two year old throwing a styro foam plate of whipped cream at her father that gave cause for any alarm or disrespect. It was obviously done as a cartoon to create a comedic and lighthearted character rather than have any relation to a real officer. Are we so sensitive that we can't handle a Simpsons character holding a coffee cup and a donut? I guess we better pull the plug on the three stooges and Wiley coyote. And if a pie booth at a festival leads to future violence or disrespect against the police it would seem we are already too far gone.
The force had no hand in this, unless it was a kiss ass
millennial gel type beer pong frat boy bucking for a promotion.
Is this how they do merits in Shakespere?
This was really a doltish idea. Instead of the sloppy overweight clown like cop with a donut why didn't they use a better figure like a bad guy (i.e. burglar, robber, murderer or gangbanger with colors & insignias). Or a brilliant idea; figures of a mayor, alderpersons, judges with money oozing out of their pockets. In fact all left wing loons that disparage the police. Of course all unidentified!!!!!!! The job gets more and more bizarre every day.
It's a "fuck tha police yo " culture.
I guess fuck civility, decency and order as well. Society is definitely heading in the right direction.
How come Louis Farrakhan did not step forward
and volunteer for the dunk tank? Racist pig.
What self-degrading copper would actually volunteer to participate in such a disgusting display?
And here's a big, hearty double "FUCK YOU" to every last cocksucker that had anything to do with dreaming up this shit.
Who suggested this? Some dickhead merit CAPS sergeant?
Who OK'd it? That never been the police DC?
I suggest variations of the timeless "Pin The Tail On The Donkey" game. How's "Pin The Gold Star On The Clout-Heavy LAPA Loser" sound? Or perhaps "Put The Pack On The Dopeboy"? Maybe "Put The Skinny Jeans On The Logan Square Hipster"?
I hope FOP makes a very public statement lambasting the ignorant motherfuckers behind this abortion of an idea.
And to think some coppers still have the nerve to look at you sideways when you tell them this job is a dead end.
SAWFT!
Let's hope and pray the Police provide the pies...
I'd like to throw a few pies myself..
Here's a better idea lets fling cow pies at one of the many department wide clout heavy, dim witted, merit hack supervisors currently down playing crime on the news, the city would be able to shore up all the pensions with the earnings...
Now if you put pictures of Ali Raahm and the 50 thieves aka aldermen dressed in prison stripes count me in. Pictures of police not so much.
It seems that whoever came up with this idea feels that the best way for the community to engage the police is by humiliating them.
There is no place for degrading behavior, whether it's how police treat people or vice versa. Mutual respect can be fostered in far more constructive ways.
This is embarrassing.
Skokie' s Night Out featured a dunk tank with their command staff taking turns in full uniform minus their equipment belt. One Commander was wearing a snorkel and mask. A lot of good natured comments from blue shirts and the public. When i remarked that you'd never see CPD white shirts in the tank, one citizen quipped that the Supt. would not fit. A fun event without demeaning activities such as throwing a pie at a cut out photo showing a uniformed officer eating a doughnut. It also drew a capacity crowd with plenty of kids having fun. Good job SPD.
Retired .38 spl +P
Citizen reader: I vote inappropriate in every way in the current world. Actually its not funny either. I have come to learn in recent years the inherent danger of being the police especially after 911 and in particular the Dallas incident. There is no room for funny with the public.
"STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES"
Ignorant idea. You would expect this from the left, but for someone in CPD to even think of this or condone it is a new low.
citizen here.
that's repulsive.
Give me a pie....so I can throw it in the face of the asshole next in line to throw.
How about a pie in the face of Rubbertoe Maldanado?🍕
The former commander and other PO's would sit in a dunk tank and it's all - pardon the expression - good clean fun. The current CAPS office is run by a goof of a sergeant with people who couldn't handle a beat car so they were put there.
White cop, gray hair, fat, carrying a club. Really ignorant stereotype.
not cool is putting it mildly... anyone who agreed to "be a target" should be sent back to beat car ...if a sworn member suggested this- they need a new assignment and some sort of cultural training review....whoever approved this ( captain? commander?) should be demoted.
it is not funny- or relationship building....even if the night out attendees are all caps-friendly ---or shills (or imaginary) to boost attendance numbers
Disclaimer: I am not a cop, but have been a citizen volunteer in 14 for many years. Have helped at many NNOs with multiple staffs. We've done the dunk tank for the last several years....I guess organizers wanted to try something new. No harm was done and it was pretty popular...and all funds raised were for the Police Memorial fund (we made a decent amount!). Come on, it was funny and people enjoyed the whip cream "pies" they got to throw. Sometimes you just got to Poke fun at yourself and laugh...the Chief Wigam from the Simpsons is a cartoon! Don't be so sensitive! Now if you look at the "donut" stereotype...how is the Dunkin Donuts Fundraiset any different -- again cops & donuts. A dunk tank....cops are still getting stuff thrown at them and getting dunked.....not a huge difference in "for fun" atmosphere. Give them a break....they worked long and hard putting NNO together (like every district does) for a night out of fun and frivolity with the community. Enjoy your day Officers....may you have a safe and "quiet" one.
Assholes. Bosses who have no idea what cops in patrol go through everyday, thought this "great" idea up. Or some CAPS "dolly." F them. We get "mother-fucked", called racist names, verbally assaulted to the point of a physical confrontation, ETC... almost on a daily basis. Now, "hurry hurry step right up and smash a pie in the fat, donut eating, coffee drinking, pig's face!" fucking idiots.
The only thing they're missing is "throw a pie at the WHITE police face."
Well who runs these events.....connected desk dolly secretary cops. So what do you expect. All the district caps offices are full of idiots to stupid to be the police with connected dna or friendships. Only they could come up with something so stupid!
Who thought this bullshit up ??? So disrespectful to the officers who go out there every fucking day and try to make this shithole a live able place . Fuck you idiots in 014 who think this is appropriate
I'm sure PHIL loves pie?
What would be the reaction if it was throw a pie at the Alderman or Rahm or better yet faces of gangbangers.
There is a lot of angst here.
Let's be full on politically correct.
Can we have a female cut-out?
And maybe a black cut-out.
How about an Asian cut-out?
This is NOT cool!!
Hey!
Why not get one of those silhouette cut-outs of a patrolman from a shoot, don't shoot training course.
And for a donation the folks can blast away with a paintball gun.
WTF.
I was brought up to believe that officers were respected members of the community. This seemed so degrading to me. Police are losing what little respect they still have.
OT: As to the Sugary Beverage tax - this comment in the Chicago Tribune after one of the articles on the Tax says it all:
The depth of democrat desperation to find money to pay salaries and pension program payments is incredible.
People will just go to the next county to buy beverages. Problem solved (for the consumers, but not for the Democrats)
Also, the drinks at Starbucks are not going to be taxed, like the Frappacino?? Why not?
Wait, I know - how about a special penny per ounce Coffee & Tea tax? Might as well tax everything in a cup.
Relax, it's a animation. Take the hit. Next year also have one of "A mayor", "A congressman", and "A alderman". Don't use names or representative ward/districts for descriptions. Then allow people to pie them up. I guarantee the message will be sent, and there can't be retaliation that sticks because it's not personal.
The police took the hit first.
Sometimes you have to take the punch first before your allowed to wipe the floor with your opponent.

Agree. Dump CAPS Supervisor and The DC for allowing this. Just when our President is encouraging respect for the police some dumbass allows this. Unbelievable!
Yes let's use the stereotypical image of an overweight donut eating cop . And degrade us even more by throwing a pie in our face !! What fun !! Thanks for continuing and encouraging the disrespect that we get daily on the streets ! Who was the asshat who approved this ?!!! Obviously has been on the street in a long time !!! Thanks for making our job harder

There was absolutely nothing malicious about the event. Everyone involved had a blast and raised a nice amount of money for the memorial fund. Half a dozen officers, a sargeant, a lieutenant and an alderman all took one for the team for a good cause. The concern is viable but the way it was presented created a fun, funny and family atmosphere. There was nothing about a coppers two year old throwing a styro foam plate of whipped cream at her father that gave cause for any alarm or disrespect. It was obviously done as a cartoon to create a comedic and lighthearted character rather than have any relation to a real officer. Are we so sensitive that we can't handle a Simpsons character holding a coffee cup and a donut? I guess we better pull the plug on the three stooges and Wiley coyote. And if a pie booth at a festival leads to future violence or disrespect against the police it would seem we are already too far gone.

Considering you cannot spell sergeant, that says it all! What about this goof the movie fast and furious premiers and many think they are Vin Diesel buying jap cars and big mufflers and racing around! how about the violent video/computer games where you shoot and kill opponents gee think that revs up the animals? Watch this trailer for "Detroit" coming soon the anti-police mantra hope the scum does not imitate these lies! they are saying "based on a true story" a true story through a kaleidoscope lens maybe?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFeWsDpy9y0
Let's degrade the uniform further! Hey kids wanna slap or kick an officer? Just come to our local caps meeting and get a chance for a good cause!!! Or do it during a traffic stop!
Why don't we have one where we can throw pies at the Gold Stars and politicians?
Shame on any Officers who let someone throw a pie at them just because they are the police. Nothing like having no dignity and self respect.
Retirement can't come soon enough.

I'm guessing someone that's trying to keep there spot wrote this BS!!!!!! Are u fucken kidding me .. "Nothing Malicious" wake the fuck up... This is a disgrace to all the men and women that have served and continue to serve ..
"Pie the Police" might as well be replaced with " Fuck the Police"....... This is what community wants and we're teaching them that it's OK to throw shit at cops but next time it will be bricks & bottles.
....a dunk tank with Eddie Johnson. I'd pay a $1 a throw.
Rahm in a dunk tank? $20 a throw....if the tank was stocked with pirhanas …
We have to oppose this type of typical Lib Left anti Police SH***.
For a very severe instance of anti Police hate, Proctor and Gamble is sponsoring a huge ad campaign featuring BlackLiesmatter type anti police slander featuring "The Talk" where upper middle class suburban Black parents give their teen age children "The Talk" that police are supposedly all RACIST, stop Black teens for no reason and often kidnap and kill Black teens, so they need to hear "The Talk" and prepare on how best to avoid, escape getting stopped, beaten and killed for the crime of "Driving While Black".
http://www.adweek.com/brand-marketing/parents-have-the-talk-in-powerful-my-black-is-beautiful-campaign-from-pg/
Typical Lib Left idiots at Adweek, Salon, Huffington Post are gushing on how great a public service campaign is. Please contact Proctor and Gamble and the hideous Advertising Agencies that produced this filth.
To "There was absolutely nothing malicious about the event"
Was the two year old the one that came up with this idea? Any officer that thought I'd be funny to have officers stand behind this image and get a pie in the face is about as smart. I don't think that two year old quite understands this on any other level than 'daddy looks funny now with that stuff on his face' but then again the person that came up with this is probably not much smarter.
Next year they'll have a new attraction taken from the movie Idiocracy where the public can kick a cop in the groin. It'll raise even more money I'll bet. Ow, my balls!!
And I've got one more too!! We can have a bunch of people stand around holding iPhones and then have an Amish youth run through this group of people and punch as many as they can and grab as many phones as they can in one minute. It'll be fun to watch.
Let's all help the 14fh District CAPS office with some more fun ideas!!
Id suggest this...
How about a Police Stress Reliever, you know, a shooting gallery activity where stressed out cops get to shoot paintballs at members of the "community", you know, the ones throwing rocks, and bottles, and, well, pies, at police?
Pointing at this thing here for generating this idea would be wonderful.
What could go on.
Talk about overreacting. All of you really need to relax. Do you honestly think taking a pie in the face is such a disgrace? In the current climate, clean fun is the last thing we need to worry about. Moreover the fucking animals we do need to worry about wouldn't show up to a function like National Night Out anyway. For the most part, the people that show up like and support the police. So quit making asenine comments about how this is such a bad thing, telling others that respect for the police should be reestablished, all the while talking shit about the police officers who participated. Talk about irony, kinda funny how coppers get on this blog to demand respect for police and then talk shit about the same police officers they demanded respect for. Oh and I heard the FOP demanded that all police officers who participated should do so without the uniform. The FOP needs to worry about more prevalent problems, like defending police officers wrongly accused and our next contract. They should right the ship over there before worrying about a police officer getting a pie in the face. Unbelievable.
At least it was safer then what happened to a poor front office person in 025. He was ordered by Escamerit to put on the green attack dog suit so the K-9 could rough house with him in front of the kids. Of course, the dog bit him in the face! Kids were traimatized and an ambulance had to take the poor officer to the hospital! Escamerit is like King Midas in reverse where everything he touches turns to shit.
It's all in good fun!? How stupid can you get? Let's throw a Copper piñata up there to while we're at it.
It's a disgrace and a bad idea conjured up by a liberal.
But it's 014, the base constituency of U.S. Reptile Louie GutterRatz and AlderThieves Moreno & Maldonato LLC (limited liability crooks).
The Old Shakespeare was the once the toughest police district north of Madison Avenue and very few ever got away with even tossing a candy wrapper on the sidewalk. Talk about opening a can of whoop-ass (I/F).
So...which daytime CAPS officer, merit Sgt, Merit Lt., Merit DC is going to be the first to poke their head in the hole is the question.
let cpd get real
get rid of caps officers , hire civilian police cadets $75K a yr to do office work , work short hours , total waste of tax payer $
It is all little kids, they usually have a dunk tank. How about standing on top of the dunkin' donuts for cop on top?
plays right into the cop haters hands. fucken stupid.

8/02/2017 01:16:00 AM
It's too far gone because we stand here and take every lump of shit that's thrown at us and throw nothing back. Of course we are not that sensitive but if any other group was treated like this they wouldn't stand for it and they would demand an apology. That's how you get respect. Taking shit like this breeds more anti police behavior and if we aren't gonna say its bullshit then why wouldn't the assholes continue to humiliate us?
Can I use my link card to buy one of those pies
This is insulting
I will bet that if the following people were the targets of the pies, a massive amount of money would be raised. special ed rahm preckwinkle dart.
Have Escamerit put his arrogant mug in there and the proceeds would be off the charts!

Judging by your post, you work there. Since you don't have to deal with the southside or westside you shouldn't even comment on this. There is a reason why we are upset at this. However, you sound like you never will understand, so go back to the caps office or the watch secretary spot in the comfort of your cushy district. Asshat.
Who can't take a joke?
Retired cops in Michigan took over a failing bakery. Renamed it "Cops and Donuts." No stereotype there, eh? The idea and business model took off and others have now opened.
Somebody's wearing their BVD's a little too snug.
Now if exempt members would put their face thru the hole for the blue-shirts that would be acceptable to me.
Put the bosses in there we take enough shit every day
Why not:
Pie the Mayor?
Pie the local alder-gump?
Pie the Stupidintendent?
Pie the Commander?
Et Cetera.
Ad Infinitum.
The fools who came up with this
need to be kicked in their asses.
The fools who approved this need
to be kicked in their asses even harder.
And for the willfully ignorant m/fers
flapping their dick-beaters about
"good clean fun?"
You're all full of shit and you know it.
This shit is disrespectful.
This shit is archetypically subversive
and deliberately corrosive.
Wink-Wink, snide-assed, laugh-up-their-sleeve
at the pie-in-the-face Police.
"Whaaaa... Why are you Cops so bent out of shape?
it's 'good, clean fun' for the children. Right?"
Context.
It's EVERYTHING...
That was Dumb with a capital D
Unbelievable... just goes to show how stupid caps people and all the house pussies are. Maybe if they ever actually had something thrown at them on the street or at nato they would of thought twice about it. Who's idea was this, alderman Maldonado?
What sick clueless douche would allow this!? What clueless half witted boss would think this is a good idea!? Degrade the Police even more, wow.
I have one how about barack Obama and eric holder
who ever came up with this dumb ass idea should be launched out of the CAPS office for 90 days so they can remember what real police work is. Pathetic, embarrassing, and shameful whoever thought of this one. Officers killed in the line of duty and their families, this is tasteless and not funny at all to them.

lighten up
How about they pie rahmie.
If you are forced to participate in this "dumbfuckery" the 1st call I would make is to a lawyer to help me pursue a case against the city for the vision impairment that I most certainly suffered during the event. Who comes up with this stupid shit?
Extremely poor taste and stupid! What special type of morons thought of this? How about throwing pies in the commanders and the rest of the exempt staff clowns? That would be great fun they wear "our uniform" as if Halloween is everyday of the year take off our uniforms poseurs! What a pathetic bunch!
The guy in CAPS with the long greasy hair thought this up. He's the biggest crybaby around. I didn't see him take his turn.

This department, and law enforcement nationwide, is "already too far gone". This profession will never be the same based on the recent and current climate towards law enforcement. This is like getting a pie in the face. Oh wait, it is literally getting a pie in the face. You GOOF!
They should set up a different pie in the face attraction, set up for only one person: Rahm Emanuel.
It could be a figure wearing a tutu.
Someone should bring back the old " dunk tank" that was at Riverview decades ago. Have the mayor or superintendent sit on the seat in the cage over the tank filled with water. People pay to throw baseballs at the target. If they hit the target the seat collapses and the person on the seat gets a bath. Now that would bring in a lot of money.

yes anyone who thinks this was a good idea is an asshat. But, off topic, I spent my career on the south and west sides with a brief detail to a good northside district ( yes I was a lieutenant). Working on the south or west sides not only shortens your career but effects your mental and physical health in ways that will manifest itself in your later years. That is if you have any later years. The Northside is a vastly different police department from the rest of CPD, in every way that you can imagine.
014 has been a joke over there for awhile now!
let me set the record straight I worked with the commander of the 014 (Fabian) back in the days of the 025 I'm now in 016 Fabian was stroke back then he is a clouted stroke now the gq wonder boy of the cpd all of non-clouted working officers new he was destin for a wonderful police career , let see he was on the 2506 car after 6 months on job, then on tac ( one arrest and then you go home) the tac secretary and then to hq, just like the movie "scareface" the sign on tony montana home that read " the world is yours"
howe about throwing pies at tim heneghan and mary oconnor
Considering the current zeitgeist against police, I find this almost as humorous as terminal childhood leukemia.
Please identify the stupid cocksucker(s) that came up with this brainstorm.
IF there was a picture of Taxwinkle instead, and people put their head thru it, I'll bet they'd have raised millions. But some way, some how, that would have been racist...

They may also be residents of that district---or it was more business as usual, CAPS offices everywhere holding events their families and friends would like---then loading up the audience and rewarding all the faithful family and friend attendees......when not just down right absconding with "donations" .......

Wtf?!? Please tell me this isn't true!
I would love to throw a pie in Alderman Maldonado s face that will be priceless.
how about.... shoot the shithead. lol lol

We understand that those who weren't there could get the wrong impression. We sincerely apologize to those who were offended by our fund raising event. It was never our intention to denigrate the uniform or the noble profession we have all chosen.
Pie throwing fundraisers are going around the country much like the ice bucket challenge did before. Since the dunk tank injured a number of officers and was expensive to rent, we thought this would be a fun, creative alternative. Most of the pies were thrown by the friends/family/spouse or children of the receiver. No gangbangers or dirtbags were involved. We had police family/friends and decent members of the community.
An rdo Lieutenant, a Sergeant, a dozen officers and even an Alderman volunteered. We used the image of a cartoon character and wanted to use a second cutout of Mayor Quimby to have politicians volunteer, but ran out of time. Everyone who participated had a good time and took great pictures with their families. It was all in good fun, raised a lot of money for charity, strengthened our relationship with the community, gave our friends & families a laugh and showed that even in these trying times we are still good hearted and can take a joke. We apologize once again to any who were offended. God Bless and Stay Safe !!
At least it was safer then what happened to a poor front office person in 025. He was ordered by Escamerit to put on the green attack dog suit so the K-9 could rough house with him in front of the kids. Of course, the dog bit him in the face! Kids were traimatized and an ambulance had to take the poor officer to the hospital! Escamerit is like King Midas in reverse where everything he touches turns to shit.
I haven't laughed that hard in a while.

Relax, it's a animation. Take the hit. Next year also have one of "A mayor", "A congressman", and "A alderman". Don't use names or representative ward/districts for descriptions. Then allow people to pie them up. I guarantee the message will be sent, and there can't be retaliation that sticks because it's not personal.
The police took the hit first.
Sometimes you have to take the punch first before your allowed to wipe the floor with your opponent.

America?
Only in that fun house mirror YOU'RE
looking into.
Take the first punch?
You're crazy.
America?
Driving that "first punch" taking m/fer's jaw
off the hinges and through the back of his skull
with a left cross.
No fluffed pillow.
No complimentary chocolate mint either.
That's OUR America...
How 'bout you?
Police Like You Have No Friends.
Couldn't come up with anything else but throw something at the police? Are we the only acceptable target? Have some of us lost all self respect in the midst of all the negativity toward law enforcement? We don't have to act as clowns and degrade the uniform to raise money.
Too bad 12 didn't think to put Ed Kulbidas face on there.
yes anyone who thinks this was a good idea is an asshat. But, off topic, I spent my career on the south and west sides with a brief detail to a good northside district ( yes I was a lieutenant). Working on the south or west sides not only shortens your career but effects your mental and physical health in ways that will manifest itself in your later years. That is if you have any later years. The Northside is a vastly different police department from the rest of CPD, in every way that you can imagine.

Give it up will you? Announcing you were a lieutenant did not add any credence to your assertion. Just because I was a commander doesn't make my comment worthier than your comment. Did I mention I was a commander? Just so you know, I was a commander. And, when I was a commander, I commanded a lot and it did not bother me a bit. I stayed until I was 63 and retired a commander.

Blow me. You are a total pimp!
Get your ass a n there for the night.
I saw this BS and canceled my donation to the fund.
Disclaimer: I am not a cop, but have been a citizen volunteer in 14 for many years. Have helped at many NNOs with multiple staffs. We've done the dunk tank for the last several years......A dunk tank....cops are still getting stuff thrown at them and getting dunked.....not a huge difference in "for fun" atmosphere. Give them a break....they worked long and hard putting NNO together (like every district does) for a night out of fun and frivolity with the community. Enjoy your day Officers....may you have a safe and "quiet" one.

You can justify it all day long, but it is still wrong. They should have stuck with the dunk tank. The caricature supported the stereotype and the act of throwing a pie into the face of a living human is simulated violence, not fun and frivolity. And, to be promoted by a police agency is such a contradiction.
Also, if all was so innocent, why wasn't the caricature of a black officer? Or, an Asian officer? Or, an elderly person? Or, of a robber? Or, of a burglar? Or, of any arrestee? The answers are obvious. Violence against any or all of them is not acceptable and a caricature of them would be highly insulting. The answer should have been just as obvious about using the caricature that was used for the event.
Hey Commander Sal"Dummy" Thanks for allowing this. Maybe next year why don't you set up a throw a rock at the police or better yet, put a cap into a cop??? Way to go, this happened on your watch. You should have said something but I'm sure you're gonna give this a definite 19P. You were a good man a long time ago.
people that work in CAPS, work in CAPS because they don't know how to be the police. Most of them wouldn't cut it on other departments.

Listen, Joe, it was a really bad idea. Period. You never really knew what was going on when you were a Sgt here, and you're completely lost now as a Lt. Know what? We long for Deirdre.
Insp K.A. Lumpee would look perfect behind the police cartoon, 14dist how bout it.

and you would have stayed longer if you could have with the permission of your clout.No one makes gold star unless you have clout and it is not working the streets or eating in local restaurants or dealing with racist bosses. Yes, you stayed to 63 because you could not stand to go home and be the old retired guy in baggy pants that no one pays any attention to. GFY commander. your attitude toward the comment by the lieutenant is typical of what is wrong with this department. You did not respect him and you respect no one who was of a lessor rank then you.

you are a real dickhead, COMMANDER. I just mentioned I was a retired lieutenant to show I was detailed to north side districts on occasion, not to lend any authority to anything I said. But your arrogance shows thru. I just did not have the clout to get out of those crappy southside districts with the racist and corrupt commanders. You say you commanded a lot? a lot of what?

I'll bet you happen to mention it on a daily basis. It is over. You are retired. Let it go. It does not count for shit. I commanded a lot of tools like you. Did I mention I was a commander?

You and the loo are both tools. It was satire. I made it as obvious as possible. Besides, I was a deputy chief. I knocked myself down one rank to commander so as to not be bragging. Did you know I was a deputy chief? My deputy chief days were full of deputy chiefing and, if allowed, I would have stayed until I was 85! I would have stayed and taken no pay. I miss all that commandeering and deputy chiefing. I did not do shit and I made a whole load of dough and I cashed out with a ton of CE. But I would return the money just to be commandeering and deputy chiefing again.

There was absolutely nothing malicious about the event. Everyone involved had a blast and raised a nice amount of money for the memorial fund. Half a dozen officers, a sargeant, a lieutenant and an alderman all took one for the team for a good cause. The concern is viable but the way it was presented created a fun, funny and family atmosphere. There was nothing about a coppers two year old throwing a styro foam plate of whipped cream at her father that gave cause for any alarm or disrespect. It was obviously done as a cartoon to create a comedic and lighthearted character rather than have any relation to a real officer. Are we so sensitive that we can't handle a Simpsons character holding a coffee cup and a donut? I guess we better pull the plug on the three stooges and Wiley coyote. And if a pie booth at a festival leads to future violence or disrespect against the police it would seem we are already too far gone.

You're so fucking stupid I can't tell if it's funny or scary
What does National Night Out have to do with a dunk tank or hitting an officer with a pie? I cannot see any correlation. It's supposed to be against crime, not the police. Garfield Ridge honored First Responders on night out. I thought this was what neighborhoods did, turn on your lights and show a little appreciation for their officers. When did Night against crime turn into "Night to humiliate police". To all of you who say this is OK, you are part of the problem!

Why not make money off it for a change? lOl.
For you that don't know Chief Wiggum on the Simpson's and those that say it's just a Simpson's character holding a cup of coffee. Here's the character, "As "a conscious pun", Wiggum was designed to look like a pig." "The character's comedic value relies heavily on his incompetence and irresponsibility as a police officer, and his laziness and gluttony". This is all part of the anti-police, liberal movement. People do not see this! How cold anyone (police or civilian) with half a brain, say this is not offensive?

Law enforcement functions around respect. When police officers and the public interact, it is usually because something unpleasant has happened: a crime or a bad accident/injury. Tempers and emotions are often high, stress is a factor, so is fear, depending on what is happening. Both parties, the LEO and the civilian MUST show respect when interacting in these types of situations, otherwise somebody might get hurt, possibly even killed.
Sorry, but you don't respect somebody you're throwing pies at.
Respect and a bit of fear of authority helps keep people in line, and prevents a lot of shit before it even gets started, which keeps all of us safer. Letting people throw pies at a stereotypical cop is stupid: it undermines authority, and the pricetag for that is something none of us can afford.
having a caricature of an overweight police officer holding a donut and a cup of coffee with the intention of letting people throw pies or any object at an actual police officer's face, is disgusting and a downright shame. Who ever thought this up should be......? This never should have been allowed at any official police function. But, I am not surprised that police officers assigned to front office or community service groups would go along with this. They love those day jobs that are safe and will do anything to keep them.
