Seriously Tribune?

  • More than 30 shot, 6 fatally, in most violent weekend of 2018
Wow. That's horrible. And how many weekends have there been in 2018 so far?
  • Three
So what are they going to report the rest of the year? You know, when it's actually in the 80's and 90's and the body counts end up in the 50's, 60's and the occasional 70?

Sensationalism is key for the media. Otherwise no one will notice.

Their argument is that their stories are "accurate", but not necessarily factual.

Why do you think they call them, "stories"?

The department should hire murder police to enforce the homicide statutes with strict compliance to prevent additional murders. These officers can use state of the art video and audio personal recording devices in an effort to make air tight defense attorney proof mission activity. Activity can include the number of murders that did not occur and corresponding event numbers to bolster successes. When the number crunchers tabulate the raw data of countless murders that did not occur to the large number that did occur, the bosses will look like geniuses by way of statistics and rightfully so.

So the pro police president Donald Trump allowed hard-working police officers to use a room in his building to do their jobs in there something wrong with us?

i'm real interested to know if cold winter day's killings is better for public health than hot sweltering summer day's killings?

could the Trib or another "story telling" rahmista propaganda operation prehaps tell me the story of differing decomposition/rotting corpse rates as ambient temperature changes ???

is it true that a less rotten cold storage corpse is less dangerous to breathe around than a rotting, suppurating hot storage corpse ?

this is another reason that Global Warming (which is, ahem, Proven, Settled Science) is dangerous to us: faster corpse rottification spreading stank 'n disease

so please somebody in da'Press please write up a story on this item of public interest

as for me, i figger that the more deader they are the better they be, no matter what the ambient temperature

Well if they do it by you like they do it in my district One of your sergeants completes your evaluation under the guise the lieutenant or captain is actually doing it. You see, the Sgt signs in using the lieutenant or captain's PC number and/or submit comments to evaluate you pretending it's the lieutenant or captain making those comments (is this ethical??) On at least three or four occasions I have refused to sign off accepting my review as I was never even once directly supervised by the sgt completing the evaluation. Or the sgt gave me a 94 under the attendance rating when I was present for duty every day of the grading period And not once late. I refused to sign off on that one too. Sarges "reasoning" behind the 94?? I can't go up next time if I give you 100% now. Feel free to refuse to sign the evaluation if the Sgt completing it has never been one of your direct supervisors. Make sure you add a nice comments as the reason why. Like " how is it possible that Sgt ___________ can evaluate my work performance when inhave never once appeared on their supervisors management log/ I have not seen them respond to one of my jobs to log me". I would go so far as to say this might be falsifying an official police document on their part. In short, THESE EVALUATIONS ARE A POPULARITY CONTEST AND A SUPERVISOR THAT DOESN'T LIKE YOU CAN BASICALLY PUT DOWN ANYTHING THEY WANT. Don't sign off on it if you're not comfortable doing so.

I agree, Cline is a total stroke for accepting this ridiculous salary.
On the other hand, a good friend of mine (CPD) lost his wife several years ago, leaving him to raise his young children on his own.
The CPMF stepped up and donated money to this officer on a couple occasions.
I don’t agree with everything they do, but they do help many officers in need that you’ll never hear about.

Preckwinkle was on the news last night saying that the police only arrest black people for marijuana possession. Her words, were, in essence, " The police only arrest black people for marijuana, they do not arrest white people, so my position is no one should be arrested for this". Now, I have been retired for a few years and things could have changed, but as I recall very few people were ever arrested in this town for minor possession of weed, unless they were fools and threatening or dealing on the street. Preckwinkle is just a racist and is constantly bashing the police , calling them, in an indirect way racists. It is a shame when one of our top elected officials is so anti-white and anti-police.

I was talking to a Sgt down at the academy today and she said that all detectives classes are being put off until the fall now because ... wait for it.... tada, because patrol can’t afford to lose as many bodies that they wanted to make. Also rahm wants to tout come June and July about how many people he has in patrol compared to last year then boom they will make the class in September before the fiscal year ends. Then another class after that. Gee, I guess it’s true that we are barely keeping up with attrition. Do any of you know how many detectives retired since the last dics class? With retirements and promotions the d unit is only +40 bodies from the time before they made the first class last January. They made about 135 and 125 in class sizes. All of those have been burned through. So now the d unit will continue to dwindle and patrol will barely keep its head above water because the new classes are all smoke and mirrors. Nothing like another bloody shooting season with under staffed over worked detectives, beat cars and evidence technicians.

Donating to wounded warriors would be the same. There is some head of the organization making a handsome salary at the cost of the donations. And what makes donating to an organization benefiting former military personnel better than to a police organization? Military stints are a 4 year gig, law enforcement is a 25+ year gig. Both are battlefields one way or another, as you can tell by the catastrophic injuries from both. Soldiers, thank you for your service, but cops serve as well, just a bit different. There's alot of attention and alot of money thrown at military organizations, let's remember the cops and fireman as well. If you don't like the operations of the memorial fund, then donate to the 100 Club of Cook County. They are a great organization that have a private fund run by private business and corporate folks that help the families of Cops and Fireman across cook county. Enough with the focus on veteran benefits, remember the service and trauma of the cops too.

I sent the evaluation to the Watch Commander who then decided what sergeant would evaluate the officer. Hopefully, it was a sergeant who had actual knowledge of that officers ability/performance. Ultimately, the commander has the final say on approval and I would frequently call in sergeants to explain a superior or negative evaluation. If the sergeant could justify his rating, i would 99% of the time concur although a few times I either lowered or raised the rating.

This afternoon while I was flipping channels, WTTW Independent Lens/The Force was on. The program is about the Oakland Police Department. If you go to the web page, you can watch it or there are times when the program will run on tv. OPD went through three police chiefs in less than a month. The first Chief seem to have his shit together and last two could not keep their pants on.
Oakland had more anti police disturbances after the Ferguson shooting than in Ferguson. Interesting program which is worth watching. Makes me want to retire asap.

Anne Kirkpatrick, I want to vomit - Chicago police reformer, is now the chief. Too bad The Force was filmed before she took over.

I'll never understand people like you. same ones that whine about the ghetto like you live there. news flash....we all know its fucked up sherlock. just make your money and leave. i could care less what this job turns into as long as the 1st and 16th still come. It's welfare at this point as far as I'm concerned. And also, how do you know some copper didn't have a sick kid or is paying his kid's way through college huh? fuck off you salty bag of dicks. sound like a woman meddling in other peoples business. worry about your own wallet...no one else's.

Really, who buys newspapers anymore. Years ago, there were paper boxes everywhere. Now, quite few and far between.

Years ago, I unsubscribed from my local rag. Why? "well, I'm white, Catholic, male, straight. You know, I got nothin' going for me, according to your paper."
The employee, a black, female said "ya, I know. I understand, I wouldn't write a paper that way either."

This is white libs, white lib reporters, your leftist universities, Marxist "accuse them of what YOU are guilty of" mentality. Dumbed down snowflakes!

NOT ILLINOIS. NOT LAW.

Donating to wounded warriors would be the same. There is some head of the organization making a handsome salary at the cost of the donations. And what makes donating to an organization benefiting former military personnel better than to a police organization? Military stints are a 4 year gig, law enforcement is a 25+ year gig. Both are battlefields one way or another, as you can tell by the catastrophic injuries from both. Soldiers, thank you for your service, but cops serve as well, just a bit different. There's alot of attention and alot of money thrown at military organizations, let's remember the cops and fireman as well. If you don't like the operations of the memorial fund, then donate to the 100 Club of Cook County. They are a great organization that have a private fund run by private business and corporate folks that help the families of Cops and Fireman across cook county. Enough with the focus on veteran benefits, remember the service and trauma of the cops too.

OT: Please know, all members donating to the Run To Remember or participating in the Run To Remember, Phil Cline makes $150K+ a year off the backs of our honored dead, in addition to $170K a year in pension. This information is provided so participators and donors can make an informed decision.

You will be told only corporate donations are used for his yearly salary, however, he needs the CPMF to keep soliciting donations for the fund to exist and, in turn, for him to use the fund to make a handsome salary.

Is is illegal? No. Is it unsavory? Yes. A former Superintendent of Police should not be using the CPMF and our honored dead to increase his financial wealth. Please consider donating to Wounded Warriors instead of being used to keep Phil Cline employed. Thank you.

Don't give to the Wounded Warrior Project. They claim that 80 percent of donations goes to vets, but in reality, just 54 to 60 percent goes to vets.

I do not need Phil Cline, with a bloated pension and a ridiculously high salary from the fund, to remind me of the service and trauma of police officers, however, my donations will never, ever be funneled through Phil Cline. He should have sought a job in private industry or another government agency to enhance his wealth and then donate his time if he had such a burning desire to assist the fund. The manner in which Cline has used the fund for his personal gain sickens me.

When a Sgt does an evaluation for an officer, how does he get assigned a P.O.? Are officers assigned to Sgts randomly, or does the Lt, Captain, or Commander specifically give a Sgt the police officers he wants them to evaluate? Thanks in advance for the response.

Well actually... the sgts are all given face shots of all the POs working the watch, then the Sgts pick who he or she wouldnt mind being stuck with if they were on a deserted island. Then they divy up the offices like that.

You're correct. VRI DIDN'T work. And you puds that did absolutely nothing except play on your phones for 8 hours while working it didn't quite help the "Bring Back VRI" cause. You're obviously too obtuse to realize that money once earmarked for VRI has instead been redirected for all the new hires currently underway. And here's another jagoff comment regarding you "scabs" that whored yourselves out to babysit the ghettos: "learn to live within your means and you won't need VRI". Let me guess, your kid needed some emergency surgery that's not covered by our insurance plan? You have an elderly parent who can't afford the assisted living home or palliative care? Nah... you just had to go and spend tens of thousands of dollars on a motorcycle or a new car or truck or unnecessary home improvements before that money was even made. You even went so far as to estimate how many VRI days you could likely work for the year to calculate if you'd be able to swing the notes on those car and home equity loans. And you likely never even thought of increasing your deferred compensation contributions or investing more money elsewhere. CHUMPS, one and all of you.

Never worked a day of VRI in my life and lived within my means. Had a nice house , average cars and no motorcycle, but who the are you to tell anyone how to live and spend there money. VRI was a voluntary opportunity and you could chose to work it or not. But where do you get off lecturing and criticizing how someone else lives. That is their business and not yours and they can chose the way they live. Now go back and continue to be a miserable person

I was talking to a Sgt down at the academy today and she said that all detectives classes are being put off until the fall now because ... wait for it.... tada, because patrol can’t afford to lose as many bodies that they wanted to make. Also rahm wants to tout come June and July about how many people he has in patrol compared to last year then boom they will make the class in September before the fiscal year ends. Then another class after that. Gee, I guess it’s true that we are barely keeping up with attrition. Do any of you know how many detectives retired since the last dics class? With retirements and promotions the d unit is only +40 bodies from the time before they made the first class last January. They made about 135 and 125 in class sizes. All of those have been burned through. So now the d unit will continue to dwindle and patrol will barely keep its head above water because the new classes are all smoke and mirrors. Nothing like another bloody shooting season with under staffed over worked detectives, beat cars and evidence technicians.

We had officers in our district who waited at least 10 years off that old list. Relax and wait your turn Francis.

I agree, Cline is a total stroke for accepting this ridiculous salary.
On the other hand, a good friend of mine (CPD) lost his wife several years ago, leaving him to raise his young children on his own.
The CPMF stepped up and donated money to this officer on a couple occasions.
I don’t agree with everything they do, but they do help many officers in need that you’ll never hear about.

I agree. I and many other officer's I know personally have been helped by the CPMF. When you or a loved one is fighting for their life, and those big out of pocket hospital bills come, that the insurance doesn't cover. It was nice know that our fellow officers, family, friends and community members helped out. 9 years later and I'm still here. I was able to mend with less stress. I am forever grateful to everyone of you who supports the CPMF.

Why are you so concerned about what other po’s are doing? If a guy wants to put an addition on his house, why do you care? Maybe because his family is growing or aging parents have to live with him or maybe he just wants to. Or now does he have to listen to more shit feom you about how he should have less children.

I sent the evaluation to the Watch Commander who then decided what sergeant would evaluate the officer. Hopefully, it was a sergeant who had actual knowledge of that officers ability/performance. Ultimately, the commander has the final say on approval and I would frequently call in sergeants to explain a superior or negative evaluation. If the sergeant could justify his rating, i would 99% of the time concur although a few times I either lowered or raised the rating.

You are correct. Wounded Warriors is not an acceptable alternative, however, the National Commanders of the American Legion, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the Disabled American Veterans, the Military Order of Purple Hearts and the Vietnam Veterans Association all take no salary. One hundred percent of your donation goes to the veterans, their families and youth programs.

Also, one hundred percent of donations to Make A Wish, Saint Jude Research Hospital, Ronald McDonald Houses and Lions Club International are used for recipient's wishes and needs. And, the Salvation Army Commissioner receives a small salary of only $13,000 per year (plus housing) for managing this $2 billion dollar organization. Ninety-six percent of donated dollars go to the cause.

From your response,it looks as though "1/23/2018 06:51:00 PM" hit the nail on the head about VRI workers. God, if one person who worked VRI told me they did anything, no one did. The biggest grip I heard from VRI workers was how they messed with cigarette lighters to stop those who brought TV's from watching movies.

1/23/2018 04:15:00 AM

Well if they do it by you like they do it in my district One of your sergeants completes your evaluation under the guise the lieutenant or captain is actually doing it. You see, the Sgt signs in using the lieutenant or captain's PC number and/or submit comments to evaluate you pretending it's the lieutenant or captain making those comments (is this ethical??) On at least three or four occasions I have refused to sign off accepting my review as I was never even once directly supervised by the sgt completing the evaluation. Or the sgt gave me a 94 under the attendance rating when I was present for duty every day of the grading period And not once late. I refused to sign off on that one too. Sarges "reasoning" behind the 94?? I can't go up next time if I give you 100% now. Feel free to refuse to sign the evaluation if the Sgt completing it has never been one of your direct supervisors. Make sure you add a nice comments as the reason why. Like " how is it possible that Sgt ___________ can evaluate my work performance when inhave never once appeared on their supervisors management log/ I have not seen them respond to one of my jobs to log me". I would go so far as to say this might be falsifying an official police document on their part. In short, THESE EVALUATIONS ARE A POPULARITY CONTEST AND A SUPERVISOR THAT DOESN'T LIKE YOU CAN BASICALLY PUT DOWN ANYTHING THEY WANT. Don't sign off on it if you're not comfortable doing so.


I sure hope you are enjoying your retirement!
There hasn't been a number associated with evaluations for about 10 years now..
So how is Arizona? Or Florida? Or Tennessee? Or Florida?--or did you stay in Chicago?
