Long Term Scandal

Just when you think it can't be getting worse, someone finds a shovel and starts to dig:
  • Six Chicago police officers were were being questioned by federal investigators for allegedly stealing money and drugs from drug dealers, sources have confirmed to CBS Chicago.

    Police sources said the FBI performed at least three sting operations, each time catching officers stealing drugs and money on surveillance video.

    On one occasion, the team stole at least $20,000 from one drug dealer.
Really? $20,000 split six ways is how much? That won't even cover the down payment to halfway competent lawyer. And three separate stings? Got to love those feds. So very efficient.
  • As many as seven officers were involved, and six of them were in federal custody, and charges were pending against them. The officers are all tactical officers assigned to the Ogden District on the West Side. Sources confirmed the officers have been stripped of their police powers.

    The officers have been under investigation by the FBI for more than a year, sources said.
A year. So who knows how many others might be "collateral damage" to this rogue team.

Poor saps had trackers on their civilian cars.

Oh and the cell phone records were running live... YEP that number your boss wants so he can text you was all given up without even an actual investigation.

You should see all the early people who disappear in the districts worried.

Oh and go about a year back and look at the transfer orders then see which orders were management... The BOYS in 010 might not know but some of their co worker did.

If all of this is true these tac people lost their minds! They became what they have tried to stop. They got eaten up by the streets and are casualties of the war on crime. It sounds like it was pretty easy to get them to take the setup. I hope if true they do lots of jail time. They put us all endanger and slander all of our reputations. Hopefully the case moves fast and all the facts come out. If anyone thinks it's cheap to live in Shit-cago, they are nuts! These soon to be losers lost their shit for pennies on the dollar. I sure hope this causes the Mayor to lose the election and runs slick ed out of our department.

No doubt there are more than a few tightly clinched ballon knots walking around Homan Square and 010 right about now.

I'd imagine waiting to get that 6AM knock at the door or to be whistled in to "see the WC... IMMEDIATELY" has got to be excruciating when you're a dirty motherfucker and the hammer's about to drop.

Anywho... these stupid bastards made their beds. The only ones I feel the least bit sorry for are their spouses and kids. Imagine how "Daddy's going to jail, Sweetheart" must sound to a child. Never mind everything that follows, from becoming a single parent family, to the financial difficulties to the stresses in everything that accompanies putting oneself so deeply in the trick bag.

Again if you see or hear something say something these things don't happen in a vacuum. Got to weed out all the bad actors in the CPD. Unfortunately this story will get much more play then the CPD heroes who ran into burning house to rescue people, not right but the way the media works. First he arrest, then trial then sentencing followed by the aftermath of all the arrests being invalidated. May they be punished to fullest extent of the law, throw the nook at them.

This had nothing to do with the 010th district ya t team. A few of the people involved had a cup of coffee in the district when they first started out. They’ve been to several other districts, units and teams since. They were an area central gang team that was assigned to focus their missions, attention on the 010th district. Every gang team in the city is assigned a district. Very few officers who work in the 010th district even have a clue who the people involved in this are, or even had the chance to know them as Police officers.

In response to 03.25am. I understand your frustration and anger at these guys. I personally couldn't live constantly looking over my shoulder, waiting for the hammer to drop, but some can. That's their problem, not yours. It's important for the good officers to know that you are valued by many, many citizens and your good work MUST continue. I do believe a vast majority are honest and true to the calling. This is true in any profession. Leadership sets the bar. If leadership is weak or corrupt, shit like this happens. Unfortunately in this city, shit always rolls downhill when it should roll up! Who the fu%k is in charge of this circus! Those people (Rahm) need to be held accountable too. In the trades we said " Those that can't, lead those that can". That's all I got. Have a good day doing good work.

As soon as you leave the Dirksen building youll be chased and your faces put on all the newscasts. Then you'll have your court dates and the reality that you'll be going to federal prison and not a country club one at that. You were armed with a weapon which aggravates your case along with the dishonor you brought upon us. You all will be lucky to get a ten year sentence.

So if you have a whole team doing RIPS for a full year how many arrest does that count for?

And if the FED knows they were committing an illegal arrest and let it go did they notify the courts about the bad arrest?

And all those video and wire taps?

If you were on the paper with theses ass hats for any arrest does that mean you also on any lawsuit that POP up?

expect the FEDs not to want to go to trial they will offer 10 tear terms with cash
fines.

The speech will be your still young take the 10 years and you can still be with your family. ANd your lawyer would tell you to take it without even hearing and seeing a tape.

I blame part of this on the academy for not teaching these mopes the history of things that have happened, and why we don't do certain things. Believe it or not we still have dumb fucks that think you can trade a dope or felony traffic arrests for a recovered gun. They think they are the first guy that thought of it. They're go-getters bro, and dumb never been the police supervisors give it the green light. The majority of the instructors in the academy were never the police and have no idea how the streets work. And then you have commanders who put in some clown with 6yrs on for merit Sgt. The blind leading the blind. I was recently in GEU and the supervisors were some of the biggest morons I've ever worked for, totally unqualified, and encourage young half wits to do stupid shit.

Again, cheers to the feds. Someone has to clean the department of corrupt cops, as CPD management is incompetent or unwilling to do so. When will supervisors be held accountable? After all, that’s why they became supervisors.

Once their names go public, defense attorneys are going to have a field day getting people tossed. So not only will these guys end up disgracing CPD, they'll cost the city tons of money and let guys go free. Strong work guys - I hope that cash was worth it.

This from an updated Tribune story on this moron you greedy pos:

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-met-chicago-cops-stripped-fbi-sting-20180131-story.html

Excerpt:
The Tribune has learned the identities of the sergeant and at least one of the officers but is not naming them because they have not been charged.

Police Department records show the 45-year-old sergeant has been with the department since 1996 and served as a patrol officer before joining the gang enforcement team. His wife is a Chicago police detective, records show.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

A Sergeant and your wife's a detective? Your making low end together $250,000 to over $300,000 that was not enough for this punk! Yes that is exactly what he is! Another black eye to hard working coppers,some who gave their very lives and some who are disabled who did the right thing and you clowns tarnish their badges!

Dont dare anyone blame the feds,the police bosses nope sorry they were "set-up" will be the mantra,but if you did not take what was not yours the set-up would of shown the coppers were following the law not being the felons! I am not a fan of the feds but come on how insane can you be to do something like this! They caught you more than 3 times,do you think maybe after the first time the agents may of said OK give them a chance maybe a mistake they would not do this again and of course thieves will always be thieves! Now we have to allow the FOP to use our dues money to hire lawyers for this? Hope FOP hires the cheapest they can find looks like an easy case and since they are not charged as of yet be they cannot shut them up! How many more will fall?

SCC - BIG (but not unexpectant) news out of HQ this morning. Gang Enforcement Unit will be completely disbanded in light of the department's most recent scandal. Unfortunately all three area teams have to suffer because of it, but as history has shown, this was inevitable. There's no immediate word about the future of Saturation/Gun units as of yet.

Man, the Fibune is reporting that the Feds came to one of the crooked cops houses in Pilsen before dawn in an armoured vehicle and shined spotlights on the cop's house. They also knocked on the neighbors doors telling them to stay indoors. Wow they were wearing fatigues too. What's next tanks rolling into Sauganash? Smart bombs hitting cops houses at zero dark thirty?
I'll bet they had both airports and all of the train and bus stations locked down too just in case the rascals pulled a Eddie Hicks on them. Now, if they could just get maybe some of those bank robbers that they can never seam to catch.

This is what happens when you get a tac Lt and commander who both live and breathe this job all day everyday and who both believe very much that it’s perpetualy 1989. Oh, also they were both promoted by merit every step of the way. Beyond sad. It’s just a job idiots.

Yeah, they cut and paste the same, lame verbiage the Three Year On The Job Tactical SuperCops use on their DCS narratives: "... A/O's observed the offender on three separate, but similar transactions...". Not really, but seriously...

Let's say we digest this part of the story...

"Police sources said the FBI performed at least three sting operations, each time catching officers stealing drugs and money on surveillance video."

AT LEAST three sting operations. Which means they set the bait more than three times.

Annnddddddddd...

EACH TIME CATCHING officers stealing drugs and money on surveillance video.

Which indicates: THERE'S MORE TO COME.

Perhaps some officers absconded with marked cash and phony dope whose identities could not be immediately confirmed from those surveillance videos.

So now our 6 or 7 in-custody assholes are spilling their guts to the Feebs. Giving up every name. Detailing licks hit that weren't even on the Feds' radar. Telling them where they hid all that unspent loot. Itemizing what purchases they've made with that cash (hint: the government already knows from monitoring your cell phones, credit cards and bank accounts. They're just waiting for you to lie about it, digging that hole you're in deeper and deeper, so they can nail you with lying to them in the unlikely event the rest of their case falls apart).

This team did an absolute ton of SW's from what we've heard; every last one and every arrest they've made will now be scrutinized as suspect. This can of shit is just getting fully opened.

Adios, Pendejos! See you on the news tonight.

Easy to follow those in the game longer, because they have figured it all out, and the Sgt who will tell you to keep up bringing in those great pinches. The Sgt turns a blind eye and you are expected to do the same. Now, fill out those TSS Cards (new contact cards), ISR’s, and ANOV’s...... so that you too can get on one of these awesome teams. Just like Sgt Fran from Austin who thinks cops with time on are not working police. So, “considerations” only go to those who are part of her “clique,” manly her two year wonder girlfriend and sub-five year coppers. Those with “time on the job,” know this tale all to well.

And in a similar vein, may we also add?

We hope the Feds jam EVERY ONE of these ignorant m/fers
like the proverbial jelly-roll and every stupidvisor in
their management hierarchy up to and including Well Fed
Ed's ugly clout babies...

"Daddy! Save US!"

Nuh-Uh...
Every last one of you ignorant clouted tits gets
shouldered up against a wall of sandbags and dealt with.

Nary-a-single-one of these Alderfool/Barking-Mutt Clergy
sponsored, Local Media/City Hall/Rahm Emanuel approved
I N C O M P E T E N T S should be let to scurry away into
a hastily arranged retirement.

Nope.
Not a one.

See the entire cavalcade of political ass-clownery deliberately
inflicted upon Policing in this town, bent over the rail of
Justice and very forcibly/publicly purged to the point of prolapse.

The natural progression would be for the Feds to also very loudly/
forcibly/publicly snatch CPD from City Hall and put it out of reach
for the next 100 years until every current politician and community
noise-maker and their local media apparatchiks unto the third generation
are securely entombed and the current bullshit being overwritten on
Policing is purged.

As far as the common denominator being the messy capriciousness
of the baser penchants of human nature? In regard to Policing,
it will never be eliminated but it surely CAN be reduced in
incidence by screening with absolute prejudice and bringing
on the very best, brightest and capable.

And all that it entails.

As a side note...
Why is it when these wanna-be-slick Police Impersonators
get the jagged Federal thumbnail dragged across their
balloon knots, they and theirs always howl the loudest
about sticking together and camaraderie?

Fuck All Y'all...
If you were actually comrades,
you WOULD NOT DO DIRTY AND DISREPUTABLE
SHIT LIKE THIS!

"Coulda been a SET-UP!"

WOULDN'T BE a set-up if you too-slick
m/fers had your minds made up to Police
pure...

No love, care or sympathy for you goofs
or your stupidvisors at all.

Hopefully the feebs hang the lot of you.

When the fed's executed the warrant on the officer living in Pilsen, the neighbors thought ICE was bringing down the hammer on illegals who live in the area. Funny how a sanctuary city with just serving a warrant caused so much fear. But back to the fed sting, like someone said on another tread, if you do anything, do it by yourself; never trust anyone. Only you have true loyalty for self, I don't care who's your working partner, wife, girlfriend, or relative, don't trust a soul other then yourself. Stealing with a team of six or seven others, from drug dealers and you go home thinking everything is going to be alright. A recipe to be ratted out, your life spinning out of control for a year; this is testament too who you are, a fucking stupid person.

Ya think this is over? Hardly. If ya know about any dirty cops, ya best speak up NOW. This is the warning shot across the bow.

Trump said he was coming, and this is the first pin prick from a YEARS worth of effort.

The funny part is that Rahm still thinks he is immune. This is the start of his public deconstruction. This is on HIM, as its how he OWNS people. This is the start of removing his assets. Bet on it.

This isn’t like the old days with the 20, 50, or 100 dollar traffic stops where you may be looking at 30 pending in the worst case. These morons have a six way split of 20k to do what with? Down payment on the new motorcycle, jet ski, boat, big screen tv? I’m sure the money wasn’t going to tuition payments, mortgage, property tax or bills. I always said if I was going to take money my minimum would be 20 million...that way I could bury half of it in case I got caught and have enough to pay a good lawyer. I can only shake my head at the fact that there are still guys out there trying to get away with something like this.

The subjects of this investigation worked in A/C Gang Enforcement, not 010.

Sgt A. doesn't know shit about being the police in high crime environment. Worked inside and when he was on the street it was in soft districts(he'll be sure to tell you of his cycle in 015). Amazing they let him have a tact team in the first place.

Despite that he was dumped, he didn't leave willingly. Why? His team didn't so shit, the commander saw him on treadmill and not responding to a person shot, and he decided to have two wine coolers and get stupid at the tact party and bash the commander(who had no prior interaction with).

Good riddance and anyone else involved you deserve the same!

As an instructor who teaches law at the academy, I can comment on this situation. Everything will be tossed out because this was entrapment. Having the officers on video proves that this was entrapment. Everyone is going to walk. Then, they are going to turn around and sue for false arrest. If they got arrested for entrapment that proves that everyone was arrested illegally. They are getting paid.

If the CPD is involved in the entrapment, then the CPD will settle this one out of court. They will all be promoted in order to placate them.

Man, the Fibune is reporting that the Feds came to one of the crooked cops houses in Pilsen before dawn in an armoured vehicle and shined spotlights on the cop's house. They also knocked on the neighbors doors telling them to stay indoors. Wow they were wearing fatigues too. What's next tanks rolling into Sauganash? Smart bombs hitting cops houses at zero dark thirty?
I'll bet they had both airports and all of the train and bus stations locked down too just in case the rascals pulled a Eddie Hicks on them. Now, if they could just get maybe some of those bank robbers that they can never seam to catch.

Damn, the feebs are getting smart. They are actually building cases that show a pattern of corruption and leave no defense for the cop. Got the cops on tape taking contraband 3 times, not once, but 3 times.

You're kidding, I hope.
I worked a corruption case in the mid 80's and it was a given that the feds weren't going ahead with arrests until they had every target dirty, on tape, documented on every little detail, at least TWICE.

They don't DO policing; they do DOCUMENTING. And they're good at it, whether you want to believe it or not.

As a non LEO I feel bad for all the decent hardworking police that have to suffer because of the actions of these merit POS's. To all those that think the 20k not worth the risk realize that the actual amount is probably 20 or 30 times that amount. They were just taped on these three transactions what about all that were not on video. The real shame is all the convicted criminals that are about to hit the streets after their convictions are overturned, not to mention all the checks the city will have to cut. Between trial costs and checks city will be set back tens of millions of dollars. Here comes another reason to raise taxes. Nice going guys hope it was all worth it. I'll bet your families are very proud.

I’ve written a lot of SWs and assisted on many others. Cash “dwindles” where?! You count the money and inventory it. When have you ever heard a copper say “my count was $7,500” and then recounted and it’s $7450. No fucking way am I letting someone put me in that position ever. You’re a fucking troll and not a cop or you are a dirty cop. my bet is on being a troll. If I had an amount written down and there was any discrepancies we would figure that shit out immediately. If a copper stole money, sorry, I’d call IAD immediately. That’s disgraceful shit. Like one commentor said, this isn’t use of force based off of split second decisions. Stealing is a calculated and dishonorable act. I would even have the balls to tell the person I reported them to IAD if they did that in front of me... along with telling them they’re an untrustworthy piece of shit.

SCC - BIG (but not unexpectant) news out of HQ this morning. Gang Enforcement Unit will be completely disbanded in light of the department's most recent scandal. Unfortunately all three area teams have to suffer because of it, but as history has shown, this was inevitable. There's no immediate word about the future of Saturation/Gun units as of yet.

-------

I'm sorry for GEU personnel, this is definitely not a rumor. The decision came from city hall. It shouldn't even be a surprise, every time someone is caught up in this the entire team suffers.

Here's some additional info:

- Gangs will have opportunity to apply for Saturation, which presuambly will remain
- 10 hour days will be eliminated soon. With additional personnel, there's no need for it to continue
- A superbid for assigned personnel will be conducted after Gangs is disbanded.
- ALL remaining units will have cameras by summer

Fuck it, if they want real reform and transparency how about in-car cameras and microphones in unmarked vehicles and body cameras for area teams. The public should be demanding this after this bullshit. Here’s one for the media - look at how many officer involved shootings involve plainclothes vs officers in uniform. Once you look at the numbers, ask why aren’t unmarked cars outfitted with cameras and mics.

To the OT about cash seizures

Cash seizures are reported to States attorney office and ISP
Probable cause hearing held and judge either finds pc to seize or no pc, no pc-cash returned
Defendant can contest finding of pc in court
If defendant loses or fails to appear, states attorney files for award of cash to seizure agency
Agency gets most,$, states attorney and ISP get a cut of it too
All done according to state statue,money same way in all 102 Illinois counties.
Agency has to keep it in forfeiture account and can only spend it on certain approved items

Not a chance in hell im allowing someone to compromise me and my family because someone wants to get sticky fingers. You must have watched one to many Hollywood movies or something because stealing cash is never something common or as rampant as you say.

If your a cop you’re a disgrace and if your a troll then you’re clueless if you actually believe that.

As someone who was not an instructor at the academy I can say that all the facts in this case are not out in the public. We don't know the details of what triggered the investigation nor how much other evidence or admissions against interest were obtained. When the feds go after a member of the CPD they have a real good track record in obtaining convictions.

Easy to follow those in the game longer, because they have figured it all out, and the Sgt who will tell you to keep up bringing in those great pinches. The Sgt turns a blind eye and you are expected to do the same. Now, fill out those TSS Cards (new contact cards), ISR’s, and ANOV’s...... so that you too can get on one of these awesome teams. Just like Sgt Fran from Austin who thinks cops with time on are not working police. So, “considerations” only go to those who are part of her “clique,” manly her two year wonder girlfriend and sub-five year coppers. Those with “time on the job,” know this tale all to well.

Can you also least try to stay on topic? We've read your other post as well from a few weeks ago. You have to wait for the right story before posting. Not disagreeing with you, just stay on topic. Although it is very entertaining 😉 😉 😉 😉 😉
