Fiscal Well-Being???
Some sharp eyed readers pointed this out in the recent link about highly paid city workers:
- “We have gotten to a point that I expect our partners in labor to be partners for the fiscal well-being of the city of Chicago,” Emanuel says via Poppe.
And where's that part about the fiscal well being of city workers and families of city workers forced to live in the city? The constantly increasing cost-of-living? Water bills? Grocery bills? City stickers? Gas? Utilities? Garbage fees? Not to mention fines and late fees for anything under the sun. Along with a few billion dollars in tax increases by the city and the substandard schools?
And if you shop outside of Rahm's fiscally responsible city, there's the county taxes eating up as nearly as much, forcing us to travel farther and farther afield to maintain headway against a tide of democrat incompetence that can only be solved by tax-tax-tax-tax-tax. Pretty soon, we'll be running over the border into neighboring states. And all of that on top of eight years of real buying power going down and wage stagnation.
Why is OT going through the roof?

Why is OT going through the roof?
- City Hall requires police officers, firefighters and emergency communications operators to work nights, weekends and holidays.
They also might get called in, say, when the Cubs win their first World Series run in over a century. During the team’s run to the historic title, the city paid a total of $18.8 million in overtime, with $17.2 million of that going to police officers, the Sun-Times has reported.
We pointed out how the City could have cut that overtime bill in half by not having everyone work on non-clinching game days......when the Cubs were out of town.
But you and we have to take the city's "fiscal well being" into consideration? When they couldn't be bothered to listen to sound advice and would rather cancel everyone's days off with no regard to our plans or our families? How about no?

Go Cubs Go! I want on that money train!
Pure horse 💩!
I can't wait to get the fuck out of Dodge and I am not stopping till I pass the prison walls of Illinois.
As an old-timer, I can recall the city vehicle stickers used to cost $35.00 bucks annually. The connected paid z-e-r-o as every alderman was given boxes of decals to pass out to his or her troops. Chicago used to have water rates that were incredibly low. I remember my parents paying $50.00 to $75.00 annually for water. Apart from factories and high rises, nobody had water meters.
You could look it up: The scheme to introduce residential water meters was hatched ninety years ago by a Democratic mayoral administration. The plan was halted by Mayor William Hale Thompson when he returned to office in 1927. He opposed charging Chicagoans for drinking tap water.
You won't hear me bitch a whole lot about OT. We get a decent wage to do little, especially on OT. I'm trying to do 110k this year as a patrolman with a mediocre amount of OT. I'm already at 80k and the OT keeps rolling in . $$$$
Solution: No VRI. No rdos cancelled for regular watch personnel under normal circumstances. Labor day weekend is normal. No VRE. Undo Aclu agreement, back to contact cards and Rahm has to apologize to the Chicago Police.

City workers are mandated to reside in the city. Any increase in taxes should automatically trigger a corresponding percentage increase in pay.

OT - The first Chicago cop to face federal charges for an on-duty shooting in more than 15 years was found guilty of excessive force on Monday afternoon. Officer Marco Proano—who fired 16 shots into a car filled with unarmed black teenagers in 2013—is scheduled to be sentenced in November.
Never had a city gig, nor do I plan to. Interviewed for OEMC but did not live in the right ward I guess Interviewed to work in the IT department but the manager was a real asshole and everyone looked depressed. Regardless it evidently pays well. The OT rules must be different now. My dad was a paramedic and I showed him this article. He laughed at how much the firemen are making with their "mandatory" OT. With the shift they have, most guys simply worked another job. Where do the firemen go for OT? The paramedics drive themselves? And could someone file a FOIA request for the OEMC overtime? How can you pull down 125k in OT? Are you even sleeping at night or is there a bed next to your desk? How can you even function? I sense a lot of fraud. Open up the hiring for many of these cushy jobs to everyone in the city. Most of the gigs pay 100k but you are not even a manager. It would make a huge difference in many families who struggle to make a living. Just my rant.
Rahm is a clown. He and his demented staff have no idea how to run a city He can go fuck himself
All 8th grade and 1st year high school students in Chicago now have to have mandatory classes on how the police cannot be trusted because, supposedly, Jon Burge, and Area #2 Dets mis-behaved and were bad to members of the "community" (An allegation NEVER proven in a single case) Fuck the Chicago Board of Ed. The Chicago Teacher's Union, and the backstabbing lil rat Mayor, who has sold his very soul to stay in office. Kids should refuse to be subjected to the brainwashing liberal lies.
“We have gotten to a point that I expect our partners in labor to be partners for the fiscal well-being of the city of Chicago,” ...
Consider just SOME of my contributions to the fiscal well-being of the city of Chicago to be years and years and years of...
* 75% +/- of my 7K property tax bill going to CPS... that my kids have never used
* Surcharges on my utilities and cell phone to subsidize the free utilities and cell phones for the GibsMeDats
* Surcharges on my internet to subsidize the free internet service for the GibsMeDats
I've got lots of skin in the game, as does every other gainfully employed societal contributor. Perhaps it's time the freeloading Entitlement Sponges start feeling some pain in the "fiscal well-being" of this shithole. Let's start with a 15% cut across the board in every program - whether federally funded or otherwise - from which these parasites drain taxpayer funded resources.
Explain how there'll no longer be "free" breakfast and lunch at school because they'll be responsible for feeding their sprogs via the LINK card they've been selling for 50 cents on the dollar at the "Ay-Rab" liquor store for half dogs, squares and cash money for dope.
Explain how there'll no longer be Safe Passage employees to walk their kids to and from school because ~ GASP!! ~ they'll have to get their lazy fucking asses out of bed or off the couch and do what normal, responsible parents have been doing forever.
Explain how all the "free" after school and park district programs will now cost money.
Explain that the firemen will not be handing out "free" smoke detectors for the whole block after the next greystone with burglar bars on every window, prohibiting the escape of dude who plugged in one too many space heaters into that frayed extension cord in the basement apartment, goes up in flames.
Explain to the Hispanic community that Ballerina Boy will be reneging on that million dollar legal representation commitment for illegal aliens.
I could go on for days on end, but I'll end here with a...
FUCK YOU, RAHM.
You are being to critical of RAHM, he aint worth a shit of a mayor, but he is a damn fine dancer!
After living in this city 56 years I have never scene it this fuck up!

Rahm is doing contract "negotiations" through the media again.

One word comes to mind we are simply put, tools for the twerp murder mayor to use, abuse and discard...
The only appropriate response to that nonsense is: "Fuck you, pay me."
Cities jerk around their employees and steal from Peter to pay Paul as long as then can and then when the bills finally come due, suddenly it's all about partnership. Suddenly it's the fault of the unions and workers that the city put off cost of living increases in exchange for better (often tax-free) benefits and deferred compensation.
"We need to find a way to renegotiate our liabilities to make sure city services stay funde..." Fuck you, pay me.
"We have to work together to maintain financial responsibility all of the sudden, forget about those decades of spending like sailors in a whorehouse..." Fuck you, pay me.
"We just don't have the money (while the mayor keeps drawing his salary)!" Fuck you, pay me.
Four more cops stripped, for ISR violation sent to call back, then to be fired Copa on a which hunt
Coming from a mayor who spent $150 million of tax payer money for a DePaul stadium. I don't recall asking taxpayers if this should be done. And also it isn't my fault the city cancels holidays and makes me work. In this job you might get labor day or Christmas off once in 6 years. I knew that coming on, no complaints. But when I'm finally supposed to be off and the city cancels it, don't make me the bad guy for getting paid
As they cancel RDOS again this weekend. GO FUCK YOURSELVES
How about these rich sports teams hiring their own security or paying for the use of CPD officers?!
Solution: No VRI. No rdos cancelled for regular watch personnel under normal circumstances. Labor day weekend is normal. No VRE. Undo Aclu agreement, back to contact cards and Rahm has to apologize to the Chicago Police.

rahm is so inept, it is pathetic! He is the worst leader that this country has to offer. He is a lame duck mayor, as there is zero chance of him being re-elected with all the mismanagement that will be highlighted during the campaign. He and his family will be embarrassed and be made a laughingstock of during the campaign.
The city has millions to spend on the DePaul stadium and bike lanes. These are luxuries not necessities. And I'm not "City Hall's Partner." I'm just a guy trying to raise a family in the high priced city county and state where taxes are out of control. That's why you get cost of living increases, because the cost of living keeps going up. Not to hard to understand here. Is the city willing to make any concessions like lift residency, lower our medical contributions or lower our pension contributions. My property taxes went up $1,000.00 a year where am I supposed to get that from if not a salary increase?
CHICAGO - Former Chicago Police Commander Jon Burge is the subject of a new course for Chicago Public Schools eighth and 10th graders.
The Burge Reparation Curriculum was introduced Monday for use in all CPS schools. The classes will cover Burge and the police officers under his command who were accused of torturing over 100 African Americans taken into custody throughout the 1970s, '80s and early '90s.
The goal of the course is to teach students about that troubled chapter in Chicago history and current efforts to protect prisoners.

Unfricken believable. Congrats to all you policemen who send their kids to public schools. Your children will now be taught to not trust the police and that the police at your enemy. Unbelievable. Where's the class regarding gang banging is bad and what life in the penitentiary is like, you know like a scared straight class. No let's keep bashing the police. Keep voting democratic people. Start stocking up for the revolution because it's a coming!!!
Let's not forget that every protest , every shooting , every summer holiday is an overtime event !! These people complaining are the same ones causing us to work it. Keep acting like a democrat, and you will be flipping the bill for my overtime. Back in the day, I was #3 in overtime, city hall bells rang every month to audit my activity. Nothing personal, it's just business !! We lined our pockets using the rules we were given. The only way these democrats notice you is when you hit them in the pocketbook !!
Oemc dispatchers make huge OT due to the shortage of qualified people!!! Most of them regularly do doubles and all of them are triple digit earners with no lives, but if that's what you want it's there for the taking .
Rahm will be using one of his tired phrases as he negotiates our contract in the media.
He'll say we have the opportunity to be part of the solution to the city's fiscal troubles..... of course he'll paint us as unreasonable and greedy.
Tax and spend has become spend and spend and spend and try to make it balance with taxes.The Democratic Fools are running out of other peoples money and want more. If you are required to work you should be paid as required by the contract your so called union signed. The blame lies with the spenders not the worker bees that try to keep the hive safe.
A big thank you to the police not the connected ones just the real cops.
(OT) Taxes skyrocketing again:
On third try, Illinois House approves education funding bill
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-illinois-house-school-funding-met-0829-20170828-story.html
Like this part:The property tax increase, if approved by the school board, would come on top of record-high $543 million property tax increases City Hall is still phasing in to increase contributions to pension funds for police officers and firefighters.
Emanuel spokesman Molly Poppe said increasing the property tax levy for pensions would allow CPS to plow more money into education.
So does this mean they will be misappropriating our pension money to plow it into education? We already have the highest tax rate in the nation for this failed school system! Maybe they can use this money to teach the children about how to show respect for police officers and others in authority! Oh sorry this is the same school system that will teach the children with skulls full of mush about how bad the police officers are especially the white caucasian police officers teaching them about John Burge! So disgusting what they do instead of teaching the children right from wrong they are teaching them totally inappropriate dishonest propaganda.
Keep the OT coming. I can't get enough. I love it.
Marriott (the Pritzker family jewel) got $50 million for south loop hotel...How dat JB???And he want to be Governor along with another Kennedy chipmunk...
Rahm is a sneaky little bastard, isn't he?
Can somebody please tell me why in a million years this copper on trial in federal court would ask for a jury trial? And why would Herbert allow it? Now this guy is looking at the possibility of 20 years in jail! What's funny is if this was gang banger on gang banger it would have been pled out to probation already. But not when a copper is involved. Good luck.
Earn all you can, work as much overtime as you can without neglecting your family, put money into your deferred comp, retire as when you max out, and move.
Spoken by a man enjoying life in sunny, low tax, low crime, Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Every time I cash that retirement check I just smile.
WTF sounds like ghost payrolling
a blind man could spot the padded OT of LT.'s , Sgt.'s
What Merit XO or Commander signed off or missed this possible theft
never to late to investigate
LT , SGT 's with take home cars , maybe audit GPS , what were results of their investigations OT
some that abused and approved have since been promoted (merit system of incompetence at its best)
Chuck Goudie , Carol Marin ,Andy Shaw where are you
what about CPD's own IAD ??? Confidential & Corrupt let's see what you have
Rahm could request IPRA to Investigate possible Theft by High Ranking members of CPD should be prosecuted Who was superintendent , this excessive OT could have been discovered by a college kid in his 1st semester of fraud investigations
look at the names , who were their supervisors
sounds like theft , ghost payrolling much more serious than some poor beat guy fighting for his life on the street that gets investigated for misconduct

The math is not hard, rahm with all 50 idiots/cowards in the city council approved a huge 45% increase in copa,allowing them to hire many more "investigators" who are looking to hang any copper,in anyway including reopening old cases, look at yesterday what happened to our blue brother in federal court on a case he was "cleared" on!
Then we have joey ferguson,who turned his head after looking at the extremely easy to investigate the lieutenants cheating scandal, joey got another huge contract hiring more and more rats to go after any and everyone to make names for themselves!
Been to federal court?alone on that cold stand? Stating your assets and liabilities? No? great keep up "being the real police" the "real deal" don't worry you will get your opportunity,after that kiss your family goodbye your "room mates" will take care of you,as you are caged like an animal for "doing my job!" When you have a 24/7 dishonest media,a democratic controlled carnage filled city, lying politicians who like to throw police under the bus as they continuously roll over them, the bosses fat and happy laughing "go get them kid lock em up"
Bottom line stop watching TV shows with the "fake police" stop car chasing for anything other that shooting at the police,or protecting blue the animals will always do what they do! Oh who am I calling animals? The animals the wild uncontrolled animals are anyone that choose destruction,choose mayhem,choose to shoot/murder choose anti-law and order that is an animal. God bless the police!

Couldn't agree more. All the talk about sacrifice ends up being we pay, the city does nothing. Raise taxes by 5%, the politicians spend 10% more. Always about increase in taxes, never cuts

OT - Saw this morning that Officer Marco Proano was convicted, I watched the video, in my opinion I saw nothing wrong, should have shot those scum 50 times. Don't steal a car and try fleeing the police and maybe you won't get shot. You all need to give the city of Chicago EXACTLY what it wants, no police force. Let the animals run wild. This country is going to hell in a handbasket.

Praying for all police officers especially in Texas!
Is it true about officers getting stripped for ISR violations ?
Well, fiscal responsibility is a two-way street and government isn't holding up their end of the bargain.
"We have gotten to a point that I expect our partners in labor to be partners for the fiscal well-being of the city of Chicago,” Emanuel said.
And, I expect the mayor of our city to do the same. Has my expectation been met? Not one bit. I refer you to just two examples of 9.5 being fiscally irresponsible; the legal defense fund for illegal aliens and the DePaul Wintrust Arena debacle, neither of which were approved by taxpayers.
However, I will agree to partner with raccoon eyes. When I get hired by 9.5 for $250K, I will be happy to return $75K so I am fiscally responsible. Why $250K? I seek parity. $175K was a recent hire for dismantling something or other, if I recall correctly.
Oh, I almost forgot. Fuck you raccoon eyes.
Don't forget getting our days off cancelled for labor day weekend!
Chicago's fiscal well-being is actually very well off with a steady stream of revenue.
It's the fiscal spending on waste and pander that's the problem.
I'd like it if the FBI would just raid and takeover City Hall Dept of Revenue, shut off ALL the Fed grants until a thorough audit is completed.
Overtime is part of doing business of keeping up with supply and demand.
Chicagoans have this violent feral ghetto crime thing that causes depletion of supply and an overwhelming cause of demand for services.
Take the overtime budget and use it to build jails, then collect welfare entitlements for court fines and penalties if jail time is undesired option.
All they have to do is make the justice system and jail a serious destination not a country club getaway.
If they stop committing crimes, shooting at one another and doing drugs the Demand for service goes down and the Supply maintains proper safe levels.

As far as OEMC, you are fishing in a dry hole. No fraud. The OT is a must because of a true need. The phones never stop ringing. The emergency people and vehicles must be sent in response to a call for assistance. OEMC staffing levels must be met to answer the phones and dispatch the police, fire and ambulances, and when there is a staffing shortage, OT is offered or mandated, in that order. Some employees will work it at every opportunity. Others avoid it like it is a death sentence. Most employees are somewhere in the middle.
Simply explained, this article is a hit piece, of which the Watchdogs of the Scum-Times does periodically in regards to city OT. The Watchdogs are well aware it is less expensive to pay OT to an employee(s) instead of hiring more employees, but trying to shame labor is their way to feed and enhance an anti-union fervor. The Scum-Times and the Watchdogs are despicable.
And now I must sacrifice one of 2 Saturdays that I'm RDO every six weeks to the negligent mismanagement of this City and the Department bosses instead of spending an evening home with my family. Since when is mother fucking Labor Day a crisis emergency shit hits the fan weekend?
"Who cares, you're getting paid, you make good money."
Fuck off. Keep your blood money.
Rotten bastards, rotten City, rotten cowardly bosses.
Create a special employment opportunity for Labor Day weekend, put it up on CLEAR, they'd get enough Overtime guys to volunteer if they're given a month notice. Call it "In-district Supplemental for Holiday Weekends".
They can talk fiscal responsibility when they get rid of the fluff that sit on the shitty council and get rid of half of the useless alderscum that are just another drain on the shitty.
FUCK RAHM --I'll be glad when the midget is voted out and hope ton never hear the little prick's name ever again!!
(OT) this girl does absolutely nothing but now wants to attack the police the typical democratic mantra hate the police help the Thugs disobey federal laws costing to city of Chicago millions in finding from the federal government this swamp here is getting more and more full of shit: Lisa Madigan, Emanuel to work on Chicago police reform consent decree:

You still want to be the working police you are totally out of your mind you will lose everything look at this team going to court to finish destroying this once proud Chicago Police Department men and women are the Chicago Police department take note the only way to survive this is to stay completely fetal think about this every extra hour you work to make that bloodmoney that overtime is another hour you can get yourself into a situation to lose your freedom your house and her family spend every hour you can that you were not working with your family don't be the idiot that works extra and get yourself in a situation where you are stating your assets and liabilities may God bless the police amen!
You mean how like Rahm was looking out for the city's fiscal well being when he ram rodded the DePaul arena down everyone's throats?
Not too many people were in favor of that but Rahm didn't give a fuck and he pissed away millions upon millions on it.
That kind of fiscal responsibility Rahm?
I like IFIYGD's thinking. We've given enough. It's time for the freeloaders to take a hit. They all seem to be doing ok with their cars, clothing, shoes, jewelry and non essentials while we work 2 jobs to live comfortably and have maybe some little extras and savings for the future. When people on aid have to do piss drops for that check and section 8 apt and link card is when I might start being charitable again. Until then I'll do bare minimum for the ghetto leeches and illegal aliens. Enough is enough!!!

Don't just spew your crap unless you're going to tell the story. If true we need the story so we can protect ourselves.
Contract time.
Make us look like greedy pigs.
Rahm hates us, the media exploits us.
Be legal, stay fetal.
President The Donald can teach the Rhamster everything he needs to know about finance. He won't listen though.
Rahmicide playing contract games to trade off CPD raises, in exchange to bow down to some of reverend's reform demands on rank and file police officers..
Then the 50 alderfucks waiting to put their 2 cents in too.
(OT) this is great this woman goes off on The liberal dishonest CNN media:
http://dailycaller.com/2017/08/29/rescued-woman-goes-off-on-cnn-for-hurricane-harvey-coverage-video/
Then we have this headline; AG Madigan sues to enforce Chicago police reform; Emanuel pledges cooperation
Little Lisa has done absolutely nothing for us in this state I'm hoping and praying that the real attorney general for the United States of America Jeff Sessions comes here and drains the swamp from The Statehouse to the County building to City Hall hopefully most of them go directly to being behind prison walls! If you was a Chicago police officer or a working officer you need to really stop look at your family look at your children picture yourself going to court through the corrupt court system and going to prison all for trying to help somebody with the ghetto nonsense just not worth it staying fetal getting paid that's a smart way the police.
And could someone file a FOIA request for the OEMC overtime? How can you pull down 125k in OT
Almost every dept is short because the city refuses to hire.cheaper for them to pay O.T. so they don t have to pay the benefits for a new hire. Plus with 1000 less employees not paying into the ponzi scheem called a pension, the pension money will get smaller to the point 9.5 will cry bankrupt. OEMC is so short most are doing double shifts. Police is down at least 3500.Safety is the last thing on this Mayors mind.
But but but--- Always $$$ for certain programs. My wWstside district closed our 2 parking lots, had a climbing wall and numerous 10x10 canopies for whatever give-aways for the annual 'back to school event'. Mayor was going to visit, so with not much of summer left, had to get all the bushes trimmed, and new mulch laid down to look good for TD. There's money, just none for YOU and ME.
how about that $6,000,000 in Hush money before an election in 2015
vote the scumbags that approved the pay off out of office
corruption at it's best

I call BS. Show me the video and the time log. You need sufficient rest for any job. Hire contractors or part time workers.
To the poster about the Federal Jury trial: the feds can demand that you have a jury trial!
OT:
IPRA/COPA investigators have received 3 days of training at the Academy. They are deciding our future discipline. Outwardly hostile, ignoring, and openly showing dislike for officers. The majority looked as if they could not spell investigation, much less perform a complex one by which officers' future will be decided. You heard it here, you are in serious trouble should your fate be left in the hand of those jerks.
Read your tax bill again. 53% of taxes go to CPS, not 75%
You are correct, I was exaggerating to make a point.
Still way too much $$$ for something I've never used.

When is enough enough. When will they realize Obama is no longer in Office and that his DOJ report was a quickly put together sham to paint us all as racists to justify this crap. Always tying us to the VanDyke case, as if we are all shooting little black kids 16 times. Poor innocent little black kids, give me a break. When will they stop bitching about what the lawsuits have cost the city. 600 some odd million over 10 or whatever years. A drop in the bucket on what Rahm blows away in a typical week on bullshit. How many of these lawsuits were fought? How much money has crime cost this city? That is a mega question that can get splintered off into 8gazillion different factions. One easy example. Gunshot "victims"? I'm sure these "victims" all had health insurance, and paid for their follow up care. For the initial ambulance ride. For the ER cost. The anesthesia costs. The drugs. The physical therapy. I'm sure the state paid nothing. Ya right.
Always bitching about how we disproportionately stop blacks 75% of the time while they make up 1/3. They know damn well that blacks are committing 3/4 of the crime in this city. And it's not racist, it's fact. FACT! Who cares! Is what it is. Raise your kids right and if they start to mess up give them DIRE consequences, no matter what race you are! We don't know the race of the people we stop, we stop them because they break a law. Whether the law is major or minor, we make a stop, and then we figure out if the person is blue or purple or black or green. We don't give a shit.
800,000 link cards issued in IL. I'd love to see the breakdown of where and who they have been issued to. That is one of the biggest and most unhinged and untalked about scams this state has never dealt with. The link scam money train just pours out our taxpayer money away like a fucking water fall. Jesus..the liberal policies and democratic MORONS are ruining our once great city. Rahm has GOT to go.....Madigan too...can you all write to DOJ/Jeff Sessions please and describe the horrendous state we are in and your personal experiences of how things have affected our policing. We can't get a fucking thing done. Dope is dead. Everything has to be filmed, which whatever we are used to that. We can't use our hunch anymore. We can't stop gangbangers. We let em disrespect us all over the place and we just have to take it. There is NO rebuilding trust. There is NO building bridges. These "community and religious leaders" are a joke. We need help from Trump, his DOJ. Where the fuck are they? Think things are bad now? Wait til Sep/Oct when copa takes over. They are going to want to make a name for themselves. Those fucks. We are not the problem. Generations of entitled idiots getting catered to by our shit leaders. Getting let go and slapped on the wrist in Darts revolving door. This place is a recidivism Mecca. And now that idiot Rauner signed that immigration bill! Illinois is going to be a MAGNET for illegals. If he's a Republican I'm the fucking marshmallow man. Stand up to Rahm and these assholes. Write the DOJ 100 times a day until they listen and send people in to lock these morons up!

Our backs are to the wall.
Can somebody please tell me why in a million years this copper on trial in federal court would ask for a jury trial? And why would Herbert allow it? Now this guy is looking at the possibility of 20 years in jail! What's funny is if this was gang banger on gang banger it would have been pled out to probation already. But not when a copper is involved. Good luck.

It is known that when a defendant knows they're guilty they will choose a jury trial because they only need to convince one person out of twelve in order to be acquitted, but if you are wrongly accused and could prove it you take a bench trial because a judge should know the law then apply it properly which would result in an acquittal.
OT
So now we're under a consent decree with the State? The Supt and Mayor tried to sell it to us at a meeting today saying that BLM or ACLU consent decree would be worse. What a bunch of pu$$ies this Dept and city have become. I'm embarrassed to be the police anymore. They have taken away every tool we had to fight crime. I say let the city burn!!

There are no bench trials at the Federal level, only state. That's why
Rahm's friend acting us attorney Joel levin who prosecuted the officer who shot at the car full of gang members to save his life old firm donated 34 times to democrats as well as Rahm. How is that possible? Levin is doing Rahm's bidding by naming the police so he can get the south and west side votes.
God Bless America
R.I.P. Houston Police Officer
End Of Watch: inside squad,
in water 16 feet deep, under highway
overpass
He went out on one last shift because
there was work to be done
Maybe Tiny Rahmberg Rabbit should take a haircut. He's already a multi millionaire.
There will be a steady stream of these same articles from now until the contract is settled. The media will happily do Rahmicides dirty work.
Almost every dept is short because the city refuses to hire.cheaper for them to pay O.T. so they don t have to pay the benefits for a new hire. Plus with 1000 less employees not paying into the ponzi scheem called a pension, the pension money will get smaller to the point 9.5 will cry bankrupt. OEMC is so short most are doing double shifts. Police is down at least 3500.Safety is the last thing on this Mayors mind.
That is false narrative. I work in the IT industry. That is why many companies utilize contractors. We get paid a hourly wage, zero benefits and zero overtime. The perm employees go home after 8 hours and we finish up the work no matter what time it ends and on the weekends. The same can be applied here. OEMC is not a sophisticated job. It is a job. No way you should work that many hours for a job. I call this a lie.
OT. WFLD-FOX News just reported SpecialEd gets the kidney tomorrow, but he isn't getting married until after he recovers from the surgery. Interesting.
President The Donald can teach the Rhamster everything he needs to know about finance. He won't listen though.
Trump? How many bankruptcies has he filed? The average person could not get a credit card let alone access to millions in cash based on his bullshit financial history.
I like IFIYGD's thinking. We've given enough. It's time for the freeloaders to take a hit. They all seem to be doing ok with their cars, clothing, shoes, jewelry and non essentials while we work 2 jobs to live comfortably and have maybe some little extras and savings for the future. When people on aid have to do piss drops for that check and section 8 apt and link card is when I might start being charitable again. Until then I'll do bare minimum for the ghetto leeches and illegal aliens. Enough is enough!!!
Go undercover and see the process to get this "free shit". Section 8 is a six year and longer wait to live in worse areas. LINK is 200 a month and you get grilled worse than if you did a crime. So try again. Nothing is free. Private companies will not hire. City gigs that pay well go to the clouted.
CFD has a strong union , every position must be filled , 24 hrs at 1 & 1/2 lot of money
Now CPD , short sergeants on every watch , Beat cars down , one man cars , wagons assigned as beat car
Total BS and we at CPD do not get to sleep at work , eat 3 meals ,work out ,run a construction business or whatever
Put the hose pullers on an 8 hour shift , close some firehouses and hire part time firefighters
I want the OT but don't expect numbers lol. Maybe an anov. The city screws us left and right. They throw us under a bus more than once. They can get a hands off department. That is what rahm and Eddie want.
Then we have this headline; AG Madigan sues to enforce Chicago police reform; Emanuel pledges cooperation
Great and when she loses more taxpayer money down the tubes.

Yes!
OT) this is great this woman goes off on The liberal dishonest CNN media:
http://dailycaller.com/2017/08/29/rescued-woman-goes-off-on-cnn-for-hurricane-harvey-coverage-video/
Great HOW? If that woman didn't want to be interviewed, she had the option to say "no thanks." And that is exactly what she
should have done. I know I would have, if I felt I was suffering (as well as my children). No need to give a profanity laced tirade.
I think that the only thing she accomplished was in embarrassing herself.

Just keep in mind Francis that the thug you fail to curtail while you're on duty may be the one you or your family member may have to face on your way home, or while you're off duty. But I'm sure you've got a brilliant answer for that too.
OT - Saw this morning that Officer Marco Proano was convicted, I watched the video, in my opinion I saw nothing wrong, should have shot those scum 50 times. Don't steal a car and try fleeing the police and maybe you won't get shot. You all need to give the city of Chicago EXACTLY what it wants, no police force. Let the animals run wild. This country is going to hell in a handbasket.
A downstate citizen.
Dear downstate citizen:
If you honestly didn't see 'anything wrong' in that video, then please thank God you're not a cop. Your career would be a lot shorter than (former) Officer Proano's wound up being.
Can somebody please tell me why in a million years this copper on trial in federal court would ask for a jury trial? And why would Herbert allow it? Now this guy is looking at the possibility of 20 years in jail!
Jury or bench trial, Proano was screwed the moment he decided to fire 16 rounds at a vehicle that was moving away from him.
As bad as what Cozzi did looked when you saw his infamous beating video in that hospital, Proano's looked even worse. Proano's fortunate he didn't kill one of those teens in that car. At least he wasn't on trial for murder, or agg. battery. Charges could easily have been upped from excessive force.
Rule 23. Jury or Nonjury Trial
(a) Jury Trial. If the defendant is entitled to a jury trial, the trial must be by jury unless:
(1) the defendant waives a jury trial in writing;
To the asshat that said all federal trials must be jury trials. Look it up. Your wrong.
That CNN clip of the lady and her kid is great. Shows what just how terrible CNN is and how they're really just looking for headlines. The reporter couldn't even think enough to put down the microphone and offer to get the family a blanket or direct them where to go to get help. Just repeated I'm sorry and offered nothing. Real nice.
Defendants who are charged in Federal District Court can ask to waive jury, but the court and the prosecutor must agree. The judge must find the defendant guilty or not guilty. There’s no judicial counterpart to a hung jury. If the defendant makes this request before the judge announces a verdict, the defendant has a right to a written decision or opinion, setting out the facts that the court relied on when arriving at its verdict.
"...based on his bullshit financial history..."
Do you mean President The Donald, the multi-billionaire?
If so, please report to the Random Drug Testing Unit.
Montana, If I go to Costco with a c-note in my pocket I get to spend a $100, in Chicago I only get to spend 90 bucks. NO SALES TAX IN MONTANA, NONE

Private and public are to different animals. Especially when dealing with sensitive info. u are a city employee with city rules. Abide by federal info rules. Just can t call dispatchers are us and contract out. Again the city doesn t want to pay for extra employees.And this is not a lie. Just put ur pocket protector and glasses back on in ur little office please.
The Democrats are hinting at their campaign theme for 2020: "Because we deserve to become Venezuela!!". Something I think we can all get behind.
