Never Over

  • A veteran Chicago police officer who was cleared of wrongdoing by Superintendent Eddie Johnson in the fatal shooting of a 15-year-old boy still must face a disciplinary hearing that could cost him his job.

    Last summer, Chicago’s police review agency had found Officer [...] used excessive force, calling the shooting of Dakota Bright “unprovoked and unwarranted” and recommending his firing.

    But Johnson disagreed that Ternand should be fired, finding that his actions in the November 2012 shooting were clearly justified, according to records.

    However, last week, a Chicago Police Board member selected to review the matter rejected Johnson’s recommendation and ordered an evidentiary hearing be held to decide if Ternand should be disciplined. Possible punishment ranges up to his dismissal.
The mayor has his COPA tools in line and his hand picked, politically-connected Police Board (with zero police experience) has overruled Special Ed and will pass judgement Monday Morning Quarterback, looking back with the benefit of FIVE YEARS elapsed time to come to the appropriate POLITICAL outcome.

Special Ed is pretty much pointless from this point forward.

Why anyone would jeopardize their assets or freedom is beyond our comprehension.

I would be very careful while working. Aggressive police work is dead. I totally can't understand cases. Nothing but trouble.

Street stops? Don't do them.

Car chases? Let them go.

Foot chases? Stupid question.

Traffic stops? Nope.

Staying Fetal is the only way.

Well well... Rham has 3 methods and plus a few more underhanded ways to get rid of a cop... let's see... if Kidney Kernel or Bean.. sloppy ed does not say fire him-- Rham can email or call or text someone else where and still get you fired. Hey Rham are you gonna help with my mortgage? And if that does not work, he can call Foxx and get charges put on your throats for some dumb arrest that went bad or the best one--- official misconduct. Good luck fight Rham, he always wins. If you don't believe me. Look at that bribe money money he paid McDucks family.

This is something our illustrious 'union' should be looking into putting the kibosh on.

Perhaps table a contract proposal that eliminates such double jeaporday, per se.

I can only imagine what the city would want in exchange for it... if they'd even entertain the proposal in the first place.

Regardless, FETAL is what one should take from this story.

Police need to realize how they are viewed by COPA and the police board. It goes something like this: Police do nothing but prey on the communities they serve. Every police action taken is based on racist motives. Everything from a Terry stop to a physical arrest. Lightfoot articulated this in her dissent on the most recent case, saying Intelligence officers conducting a completely legitimate investigation had absolutely no legal grounds to stop and interview people leaving a house in which an identified offender was known to occupy. Police are not to conclude a guy driving right at them is trying to run them down, yet police are still supposed to get out of the way if an offender gets in a car because he may run the police down. In simple terms, nobody is trying to kill you unless you're killed, so only when you're dead can you say he intended to kill you. Even then, you made him kill you because you decided to interview him. Black and brown officers must realize they too are motivated by racist animus and will be destroyed if in the course of taking police actions you make what they determine is a mistake. They will not call it a mistake or a poor judgement call but will call it CRIMINAL INTENT and they will go above and beyond to literally destroy you. Another interesting observation is how a scumbag like Watts, who extorted $ for a decade from drug dealers got a slap on the wrist sentence while Parano and the tac guy from 004 who slapped an armed dope dealer each get 5years in the joint. In more simple terms, dope dealing really isn't a crime even if cops do it. It is lawful police action that is the real crime, and woe to the officer who initiates any stop in this Post-Ferguson Obama anti police nightmare we're experiencing today.

Looks like Eddie really has your back looks like this department has your back also correct, the knife turns! Whatever you do don't say you would never do what he did as we know the Chicago police officers and police officers everywhere no the same things happen in a split second.

The reality sets in when you take that stand can you look at it your family watch them in the cold Dank courtroom your children are in tears, your spouse is crying you hear the wailing as you're sitting there with some lawyer from the government looking to destroy you as you're stating your assets and liabilities, knowing at the minimum you will most likely lose your job. Then you're really in thought knowing that also you may lose your freedom, your family your good name and a dishonest media will bastardize you 24 hours a day seven days a week at a constant news cycle, because you fit the narrative which is of being a protector of the innocent, but they change that narrative to make you the bad guy the bad girl in all of this and all you did was try to save somebody's life!

Every police officer as a matter fact every person has their own views and their own set of eyes and they see things in the moment that is not reflected properly on the camera, just like ask any two people to just Describe what they see people will not see exactly the same thing. As I sit here reflecting on this story this could be one of many police officers think about what you do on a daily basis when the odds are twisted against you because you were the uniform the difficulty of doing this job makes it not worth it, it's a good paying job it was a good career but seeing you could lose everything you've worked for you would be better off working in another environment making less money and keeping everything you were not jeopardizing everything for some unappreciative ghetto nonsense!

Watch next how our elected officials will get up I napoleons on there soap boxes and loudly blame the police blame this officer as they will pander to the people in society there are the criminals simple as that God bless the police God bless second city For presenting this forum to us! If you're not fetal what are you doing? Back each other up the thin blue line just got thinner by this officer what is happened to him is tragic!

You still have fools running around chasing dude. Case in point, on 19-Nov-2017 on 3rd watch, 011th district officers chased a car- because it had no front plate. I kid you not. They chased the car in to the 015th district. The officers were driving around as if this was an action movie.

Wake up! This is real life. One bad move and there goes your job and your freedom.

Fuck this shithole city. Do nothing more than the bare minimum and watch this city burn to the ground. I hope that FOP bargains residency , so I can pack up and watch it burn from outside of the city. This city is lost! When the Mag Mile has numerous robberies occurring and Lincoln Park has had home invasions, robberies and shootings. When Beverly and Mt Greeneood have robberies and car jackings it shows you that this entire city is gone. You are safe nowhere and with the anti police rhetoric of Rahm , Taxwinkle and Foxxxy it is only going to get worse.

Those days are gone. In the new political climate officers have been losing in the local and appellate courts. Happens all the time. Take the case of the 2 po’s that got in fight at TBK 10 years ago. Fired reinstated by circuit court, city appeal and they were fired
It’s a shame but things and times are changing

People who have never been the police, know nothing about being the police except what they read in a book, have never made split second decision that effect life and death and have never been under extreme pressure and danger that would give any ordinary person PTSD are now judging you and your actions in the safety of their office. Not only that, they hare having political pressure put on them to come to certain conclusions or they are of the progressive bent and would love to do you harm and in some cases they are just racists and cop haters. So, with this in mind how do you feel about trying to be an aggressive pro-active police officer? Go home look at your family, your mortgage and the tuition bills of your kids then look into the mirror and ask yourself that question again.

You can't chase for theft or traffic moron. Chases are to be terminated once a car crashes too. Hint stupid, the person chasing the vehicle is supposed to self terminate. It's cool, in thee years when the traffic board gets to it you can enjoy the week off of work.

The Officer Van Dyke trial seems to be delayed. The first Judge backed out for "personal reasons". If found not guilty, certain segments of Chicago will explode in violence. It will be Baltimore X8. I sure hope the top brass has a good plan for this.
