Rahm Discovers More Money!
- Mayor Rahm Emanuel will dedicate about $27.4 million to Chicago Police reform in his 2018 budget proposal, as the city continues rehabbing the beleaguered department’s image in the wake of the Laquan McDonald shooting scandal and a scathing Justice Department probe.
“With this investment, the city of Chicago is making a down payment on police reform,” Emanuel said in a statement Friday, less than a week before his annual budget address to the City Council.
The $24 million jump in funding compared to last year is set aside for “enhanced training, reform implementation, officer wellness and community policing,” according to the mayor’s office, which didn’t specify where the funding will come from, other than to say it’s part of the city’s full spending package.
$24 million appearing out of thin air should make anyone paying attention ask a lot of questions.

“With this investment, the city of Chicago is making a down payment on Poleec castration,” Emanuel said in a statement Friday, less than a week before his annual budget address to the City Council.
The Daley-Emanuel death spiral continues.
And as soon as fatty defeats RINO Rauner, we will 100% Democrat controlled again - state, county and city - and can speed up the race to the bottom.
Yes reforming the dept will bring the shootings and crime down so that no one will ever get shot especially whilst standing on the El platform. Once the community feels a more honest and trustworthy connection with the police the local gang bangers will cease “bangin”. Our pension money in crises but reform, body cameras, and new use of force guidelines are the key.
This guy is the king of deflection and slight of hand moves.
God, I can't wait to retire.
This money will be pissed away to faith based groups, phony community groups and some gangbanger groups. How dare this little weasel suggest the police need rehabbing and reform when it is him who needs reform after what he did after that shooting. And what's it all about? It's about a greedy corupt little man trying to win votes. This guy is just plain old evil.
There are no books to audit. He has a secret money tree on roof of city hall. Tree grows plenty of pet project money but no pension money.
Who is this civilian lawyer expert in the academy? B-something that is billing the city for over $500 And hour? No over time for P.O.'s because of this guy? Hope he make the department better.....
No, word of peace circle classes to be taught by Deputy Chief Robin Robinson, the former news person? Maybe no one signed up?
Enhanced training? Are you fucking high? How about we worry about providing some bare minimum training to begin with and we can see how that goes. Although if we're going to be honest with ourselves, with the lack of standards on this department even "enhanced training" would be bare minimum on most departments. After all we gotta make sure nobody fails.
The pension money tree is dying.
Only fair after those nasty CPD blue shirts hid the St. Laquan video from the brass and the mayor!
Massive expansion in community policing coming soon. Everyone get to g training too
Ah yes police reform but nothing of Chicago politics reform. The Ballerina will leave Chicago bankrupt and he will move back to the North Shore with a very hefty pension and health care. Remember what he did to the retirees health care. Bad Karma for you Rahmmie. ♠️
and sparklefarts is not president anymore.........
abra cadabra
boom 27 million
Okay. Let me get this straight. Chicago doesn't have enough money to hire more cops but there is enough money to retrain the ones we have so they don't cause bodily harm to the criminals inflicting bodily harm, and more, to innocent victims. Is that the narrative?
I feel like we're in a sick, twisted episode of The Twilight Zone.
Mother Mary, pray for us! ��
More smoke, mirrors, and dollars.
That $27 Million sure would help our badly underfunded pension.
Rahm doesn’t give a shit about our underfunded pension fund.... he never has had any intent of properly funding it.
Andy Shaw and Joe Ferguson are going to team up and conduct a complete and thorough audit of City Hall and the City of Chicago budget. They will announce their results right after Rahm and his staff complete the report that he wants them to release.
Ah yes, transparency Chicago style!!!
Why don't he use that money to shore up the police pensions?
Every year, your city sticker costs a little more for no good reason. Except here's the reason. Got to keep the secret coffers full.
You have the Annual Budget and then you have the Comprehensive Budget. Most big money is hidden in the Comprehensive Budget.
Just do it. Let him reform the Police Department, abide by ridiculous "use of force" policies, spend your whole shift writing up a report on a barking dog or some other frivolous citizen complaint, (cat stuck in a tree, etc.) you know, to protect yourself and the department from ACLU lawsuits, let the Mayor have everything, (he's already got most of your pensions), and when the city hits bottom, and there is no more money to protect criminals and illegal aliens, everyone will vote Republican and then blame him/her for all the cities problems.
But stay safe Officers. Going home after every shift is your most important goal. There should be no politics in any law enforcement agency, but they have forced their way in and they don't care about you. Stay Safe!
J.J.
sign me up fuckers, can't wait to go on my RDO'S O.T. or on duty even better and off my shitty beat. Fuck you pay me!
He was supposed to make a big CPD pension payment on 31 Dec 16.
He didn't, nobody (FOP) cared.
While running for reelection the new and improved
Tough Guy from W, promised all casino profits would
go to the CPD pension.
Anyone hear any casino talk since the election?
Looking like those multimillion dollar football players will be looking for other employment soon this is great news for people that are pro American pro military and most of all pro law and order;
Backlash: Week 6 of the NFL Reveals Several Nearly Empty Stadiums As Fans Continue to Leave the League
The NFL likely hoped for a return to normalcy for Week 6, especially after Commissioner Goodell’s call to “move past the anthem controversy,” and address the issue in detail at league meetings on Tuesday. Instead, what the NFL got was a return to what has become the “new normal” in the age of anthem protests: empty seats.
Throughout the league, stadiums could be seen with thousands of empty seats at kickoff, and, in some cases in the middle of the gam
Note, that the Jets played New England on Sunday, meaning there should have been a big crowd for that game. The Texans, Atlanta, and Baltimore are also very relevant teams with relatively loyal fan bases. Yet, thousands upon thousands of fans no-showed or didn’t buy tickets for those games.
Here’s a shot of the Jaguars stadium at kickoff:
Granted, this is Jacksonville and they’ve never really packed the house. Yet, even by Jaguars standards, that’s empty. The fact that those same levels of emptiness can be seen at other stadiums throughout the league, means that the fan backlash against the NFL has now turned
That's a only a down payment, Huh?
I'm done with this line of work. I expect to retire this month or next. 20 and out friends. That's about all a sane person can take. I'm heading to higher ground. As soon as my house sells we are out of this sanctuary city where crime runs rampant and they blame the police for everything that the politicians have created. It will take Generations to fix this, and I just cant wait around for that to happen.
Vaya Con Dios...
"Officer Wellness?"
That's when you get stripped and sent to Callback,
for your own safety, rest and recreation and spa time!
And the little weasel found more Federal $$$ to renovate the Clark/Lake CTA stop. We must provide comfortable stops as the Amish wait to commit their next robbery after jumping the turnstile. Remember to thank the corrupt Board of Election Commissioners who ruled that a domiciled wedding dress proves residency!!
That $27 mil is destined to grow Administrative, CompScam, CAPS, CO'PRA, ShotFlops (heard shots-felt pain) and other Anti-Police efforts to appease the community and buffalo the public.
Don't be fooled into thinking new vehicles, computers, weapons or ballistic vests will be requisitioned and forthcoming in the new year.
February 2018 kicks off Rahm reelection campaign.
Expect takeaways, not gifts.
He's not interested in Our votes.
Police reform ? cut alderman spots from 50 to 22 like police districts , more corruption in city hall , cps , streets and sanitation etcetera than the police department
teach a class , when you have no license plates , drive with broken windshield , no headlights , speed or disobey red lights , stop signs it is not because of your RACE . That is what loser politicians ,community activists and fake reverends tell you so they can extort dollars from you and stay in power .
Get over the BS from former attorney general lunch , holder and sidekick barry
no such thing as driving while black , it's called traffic enforcement
first ever sealed records potus and he plays race card
that is all they got , wake up America
OMG AGAIN , This ASSHOLE MAYOR all of a Sudden now Pulls 27 Million out of ASS. Only for the things he wants , Ain't this Un-Fricken remarkable , The Ballerina has more Gold & money up his Ass then Fort Knox , God Forbid you asked to be Covered on your Pension or Health Care, RAHM = RAT ASS HOLE MAYOR
O.t. total b.s that these new recruits are going to 012 001 018 or 017. How about opening bids. Great way to continue killing any morale that was left.
Gee Wally, I just don't get it. I thought the mayor says he doesn't have money to fund the pension.
Lamp post and rope are too good.

Even bringing in a commander, who happens to be best man at the supts. wedding. Its all legit, folks. We are truly transparent as an organization.
Also SSC you might mention that DePaul opened their new Basketball arena built south of the loop in no man's land with 50 mil of our tax money...ashamed to admit I am a graduate of that place..
Looks like Chuy Garcia is gearing up to take on rahm. He is organizing his people, including lots of cops. He also is touting a lawyer disciple of his for some future election.
27 million for absolutely nothing the trial hasn’t even began and we’re shelling out money for reform even though the justice department says it will not get involved.
About 3 dozen newly painted squad cars are just sitting out in front of the building on the 1400 block of 43rd street in the old stock yards.. yet im driving around in a 2005 crown Vic. Also, how come the ETs and detectives haven't gotten a new car years?
Sounds like he needs more votes from all the mew patronage jobs this 27 million will create. He must be really worried about being reelected. He should be worried.
Worst mayor with a city rich in history of very bad mayors. How they avoid jail unlike the past Illinois governors is beyond me.
Hey you piece of shit Mayor, use the fucking money to pay the retirees medical. There's a court case pending, its going to the Illinois Supreme Court.

It will take a lot more than that. That's the best the Hispanic community can come up with
