Alderman Sees the Future
- Crime will spike and police morale will plummet—to the point where veteran officers will lay back and “nobody will want to take this job”—if a civilian oversight board is empowered to fire the police superintendent and establish police policy, a former cop-turned alderman is warning.
Northwest Side Ald. Anthony Napolitano (41st), the City Council’s champion for Chicago Police officers, condemned the fundamental change in police oversight proposed by the Grassroots Alliance for Police Accountability (GAPA) after 18 months of public hearings.
Fraternal Order of Police President Kevin Graham has argued that “policing is becoming almost impossible in Chicago” because of redundant layers of oversight by the FBI, the Illinois State Police, the state’s attorney’s office, a Civilian Office of Police Accountability that has officers “under virtual siege” and an “exceedingly biased media.”
Even more oversight would bring about “chaos mislabeled as reform,” Graham has said.
Napolitano made a similar argument — even more forcefully.
On the bright side, Rahm would get his wish of a lot more higher paid veterans retiring as soon as humanly possible.
Thanks to Napolitano for speaking up.

Society does not care... go ahead and create that office, retirement is around the corner for me... and none of my sons have even bothered with this job. One creates video games, I got one who is the Air Force, and other is in the medical field. So congrats Rahm, you showed me the light and I encourage my children to follow jobs that they can carpet bag to other states
German GAPA should sue these idiots for trademark infringement.
Get out while you can ~ there is no light at the end of this tunnel!
OT: I love poetic justice...

I've shut it down, just waiting till I have the time in to retire. Why risk my pension, my Liberty for a city that hates my guts? You've been shot, robbed, stabbed, your car was hijacked? Sorry, I will be happy to take a report. What, you want me to take police action, to chase the 16 year olds who pistol whipped you and took your new car? Not in today's climate. In fact, speed all you want, ignore traffic control devices, I got 18 months to go, and in those months no contact with the public means I increase my chances of retirement with a pension.
I have medals, they mean nothing anymore, hundreds of quality collars, meaningless, Fox would burry me under the jail to further her own career. Do nothing, be happy. Park the car, respond slowly, take a report. Repeat. The days of playing cop are over. Think I'm a sack of shit?I don't care, it's all about making the 18 months, and moving out of this city. Go ahead, play cop, run to job after job, get involved with the police clientele. Me, I take them at their word, they will do everything they can to bankrupt you, and send you to the slammer.
“Veteran officers will lay back?”
Ummm..... I already have!
Am I alone?
Or maybe they think I will “lay back” even further?
I just dont know if that’s possible.
Time clocks will come first and any productivity will cease.
2 years, 3 months and a wake up. STAY FETAL! just back each other up, stay out of trouble answer your calls and make sure your neighborhood is safe as well as family.
"Thanks to Napolitano for speaking up."
1 out of 50. Where were the rest.
Hey lets get a grass roots socialist's civilian oversite board of people to oversee doctors and their decisions. And while we are at it lets make the doctors wear cameras so we can decide if they are doing everything correctly. What better way to monitor the medical profession than to let just ordinary folk call the shots because who knows better. By god we could do this with every profession, think of the oversight. Anyone not doing their job correctly goes to the gulag.
Nap is the best,I will take my 84 year old Mom to the Polls in his next Election,
This guy is as good as it gets. Stands up to all the assholes like Rahm and arena. Too bad the other 49 alderman are spineless
We need more Police as alderman. How about someone step up and get Arena out of there. How he won over Garido is a shame. How about Maldonado and the other goofs. Police will make the city a decent place to live if there was common sense in City Hall
"Thanks to Napolitano for speaking up."
One out of fifty,
Where are the others?
OK, keep Nap, vote all the rest out next time.
It's too damn late. Policing in Chicago ran off the rails and to the lake. It is now rusting at the bottom of the lake.
It’s good he spoke up, but I’d still like to see Rahm cave and really lose all of his power.
Rahm doesn't want it so he has his tools doing his dirty work! I say bring it!
I love the idea that the Superintendent is no longer beholden to the Mayor.
20 plus years of service . 50years old and health insurance
Naps is the best Alderman in this City along with Nick Sposato. We need more people like them in the City Council. Support him in 2019 when Rahms and Madigans clown Tim Heneghan runs. Madigan wanted Naps to turn on Mike McAuliffe in 2016 he refused. Naps was offered money, support and so on but stood tall against Madigan and wouldn't go against McAuliffe. On the other hand Heneghan took the offer, turned on McAuliffe who he grew up and McAuliffe still won.
Napolitano is our last hope. If he and his common sense, are you effen kdding me ideas are rejected, chicago = detroit. If others join him and see the lght, Chcago becomes Texas. We start taking rather than losing jobs and residents and companies. I vote for Napolitano and his ideas.
Lower the free medical age and see what happens????????????
So, highly paid veterans retire and are replaced by highly paid coppers hired after them. The only real change that these goofs are causing is that most cops will retire after 20 now. Who the hell wants to put up with this foolishness from these progressive goofs?
Hell, Stevie Wonder could've seen this train wreck coming.
Smart officers know the importance of self preservation in these times. I never thought the transition from worker to fetal could feel this liberating. I feel not a shred of guilt. Stress is damn near non-existent.

Look
Laugh
Leave
And a big shout out to 29th Ward Office, Alderman Chris Taliaferro for not saying a word. You worthless POS.
I don’t think Rahm is gonna stop this. If Rham says no to the new board, he takes the blame for Kidney Bean being a piece of shit... and any other dumb shit a cop does. If Rham says yes.. then he will argue... “ hey, I have this board set up for a reason.. they did not do their job”. President Trump is showing what happens when a person is ineffective does not do their job; asshole gets shitcanned. Believe me, Rham wants to be able to push the blame to as many people that he can and get away from the blame as possible
I’ve got 32 fuckin years. I’ll leave today, but not for free, assholes. Insurance, period. Not 55 yet. This is ground zero in the war on cops. The belly of the beast that gave you B. Hussein Obama, who started this shit.
A tale of two aldermen: Napolitano, who actually works and speaks for the people he represents and Arena, a little whiny piss ant, who refuses to hear what the people in his ward want. If you dare speak your mind and he doesn't agree with you, he will investigate you, lie and inform your place of employment because the first amendment only applies if you have the same opinion as him. Everyone needs a Napolitano as their alderman. He's not a thieving, lying, sneaky politician. He's a class act who speaks the truth and really does care.
Crime victims can’t sue, offenders and stopped people do.
Veteran officers are only doing what is necessary now. Reactive policing.
TOO LATE...
This must be CHANGE the department keeps talking about.
one out of fifty isn't bad. Program will pass and soon the gangs will become the Police.
Maybe the Sheeple are starting to awaken a bit....One can HOPE.....
The Future is now. Thank You Chicago democrats and to the morons that keep voting for these socialists. ♠️
Nice. His colleagues should grow some also.
Don’t we already have a GAPA? German American Police Assn. .....
The fact that the Department has been forced to give the entrance exam on an almost annual basis speaks volumes as to how few capable people are willing to take "Da Job". Rahm and Mc Numbnuts empowered the civilian ACLU to control the Chicago Police Department. The absurd Left leaning politics, and cop hating nature of the attorneys who run the ACLU is legendary. And what most people who understand policing only from what they see on T.V., fail to realize is that the cop who risks his family, career, pension and freedom by being Proactive, retires with the same pension as the cop who does nothing more than answer his/her radio calls. As a Sergeant I would not tolerate cops who were "Dogs". Yet, in the current environment, I would be doing a disservice to my Officers if I directed them to be Proactive. In the current world created by Rahm, People and Folks with firearms who Should be stopped, will not be stopped. And young people will die needlessly. The blood of Black and Brown youths is on the hands of Rahm and the ACLU, but they care not. Lil Rahm and his entourage of Pretend Secret Service, glide through the City. And at night, the ACLU attorneys return to their luxurious homes in Wilmette, Highland Park and Winnetka. While kids the same age as Rahm's and the attorneys, live and die in fear. Chicago has become a Tale of Two Cities, and the People of Color City is left to be Protected by rules and procedure written by attorneys, who are nowhere to be found when the shit hits the fan. Because make no mistake about it, and only a fool would deny it: the Police used to be the only ones People of Color could turn to for protection and help. And today those "Real Poleece iz gone, and they ain't returning. " Baby "G"
The twit former Sgt turned alderman of the 29th Ward came to the Sgt's Union meeting the other day to"clarify" this came about because the Supt had ignored his requests for a meeting and he has no recourse and tried to assure us it would only be for the Supt not to set policy or discipline officers (yeah right). Well then he went on to say he got there idea after seeing that LA and NY have lower crime rates despite larger populations. Well one Sgt asked since LA and NY were who he'd like to copy, when would he be introducing an office to cut the number of alderman down to reflect those two wonderful citiy's numbers. It was like seeing Jackie Gleason, hummm ana, humm ana ...
If you live in the 41st Ward take note. Anthony will need everyone's help. The Democratic machine is coming after him. His opponent TH is taking his marching orders from the previous alderman who voted 97% with Rahm. Besides being a goof all his money is coming from Madigan and Rahm. We need to rally everyone in the ward for Anthony. He has done a really good job.
Tell me why with the intelligence we have at CPD and the FOP. That we can not find out the locations of a certain corporations visit. Then lets have a large group of FOP members and families at the location to welcome them.
Keep watch. The end is near.
OT but hilarious to watch unfold... Well, he’s at it again. Good ol’Meritorious Sgt Crain, who was given to A/S as a Christmas miracle December 24, 2017 (by Staples herself - see below) is “ratting” the D Unit out & fueling the hatred between Staples & Blisset. By his own admission, he’s been sent to clean up A/S and get “Rodney” dumped (which almost came to fruition when Staples tried dumping him to IAD but FatHeadEd blocked it...not to save Rodney, but because they needed someone capable to take care of Welch the Felch since Klimas was retiring. They are feeding on each other & blood is in the water. Stay posted.
What sucks is the people who suffer most from this are the regular Joe type people, tax payers,own homes, and the people who do benefit are the law breakers, non taxpayers, sorry but just because you buy Kool cigs and booze doesn't make you a tax payer. This pendulum has to swing back soon or everybody but criminals will suffer. 1 more thing, fuck you media.
Why even have the police? If the civilian experts know how to handle the mayhem going on in this dump, then let them handle it. WTF is going on in this town? It's very hard to watch the neighborhoods deteriorate, tons of people leaving for suburbs or other states, lawlessness, tax hikes etc... At least one person spoke and hopefully it's a start.
The city has made is so hard the be the police I already don't want to do this job and don't! I avoid contact with the public as much as possible. If I do get a job, I give them a report and move on. I am just marking time till I retire. Was a fun job years ago. Now if you do police work, you have to have rocks in your head.
I wish I could buy back four years of military service instead of only two. Also, it would be great if the City allowed police officers to take terminal furlough (2070 hrs on 4/2 schedule) like the military allows its personnel. Retirement can't come soon enough. Policing in Chicago has become a lose-lose proposition.
Hmmm. Maybe the criminals need a tiny bit of oversight?🤔 why all the reforms and action is directed toward the police? Why does the “community” not trust the police? Do all these groups really believe that screwing the police will improve conditions in the “community “? The criminals don’t play by any rules. They live in another universe. Is this a game of “ let’s even the score”? This is all political theater. Reform? Pleeeasseeee!
They might as well hire security guards to observe and report. The peoples and folks don't want policing in their neighborhoods anyway. I'm not quite sure what will be done with the report but that would be their oroblem.
"Keep up the fight" in the 41st, Ald. Tony Napolitano.
Ditto in the 38th, Ald. Nick Sposato
(Notably consistent supporters of the CPD)
Napolitano is right. Tho it is hard to imagine the morale going much lower. Running out of space.
The leftist liberals, with their anti police agenda, are tone deaf to the logic with which he uses.
Nobody should take this job with the intention of being a hard charging badass bent on fight crime and/or evil.
If one came get over that one precept, the money (bling-bling camel lady) is good enough to put up with the untouchable, unencumbered feral takeover of the Sanctuary City.
Can’t stop what’s coming.
There’s also the other hand is the MeritBoss demanding civil rights infringing “activity”, which can lead to years of watch, beat and partner bouncing.
Is that all they got?
Don’t get comfortable and they can’t hurt you.
Do Field Mouse Beat work with a House Mouse mentality.
Rahm isn’t worried about a GAPA forming another civilian police governance, until it shows they can deliver 50,000 votes in February.
Maybe the Democrat 41st Ward committeeman Hennygan will fire off a rebuttal in his newsletter that’s composed by the 45th Ward.
Stay Fetal.
Alderman Napolitano appears to be the Only voice of reason.He also has opposed the Chicago Citycard being used as a vehicle for illegal immigrants to use as a method to register to vote.Oh,and he's a Republican.That would explain standing up to king rahm.
I’d like to hear what his brother Andy’s opinion is. I bet his quote would be a lot more entertaining.
They might as well hire security guards to observe and report. The peoples and folks don't want policing in their neighborhoods anyway. I'm not quite sure what will be done with the report but that would be their problem.
if you are on the job.....lay down, stay fetal....if you have family, get them out of Chicago....as soon as you could retire, get out of Illinois...if you are thinking of applying for the CPD.....do not....look elsewhere

Won’t make much difference in the districts. The beat guys had to stay for checkoff. Will hurt the front office, CAPS , watch secretaries who were doing the ducking.
It’s not just patrol. Since they started restricting OT in the D unit all I have done is suspend my cases. I have quit trying to close them.
The really scary part is this kind of shit along side today’s atmosphere is only driving out real policeman who knew how to protect and serve this city and is replacing them with these kids that are getting on now. Scared, entitled, know it alls who will never know actual quality police work cuz there’s no one to teach them. (And they don’t want to hear it anyway). FTO’s today have under 5 years on and are just desperate to get off midnights cuz of said entitlement. Anyways, good luck to the legit people of 016 and 022. Soon YOU too will feel the results of this fuckin shit storm worse than you are now.
They Mayor IS the civilian oversight, the one to hold accountable, for city policing, enforcement, issues. The check on the mayor is supposed to be the board. The back up check is supposed to be the judicial system.
This is about FORM of government, people. This is about democrats going down their direct democracy black hole. This COPA Cabana is nothing more than the idiocy that Democrats WANT because that is just another name for the direct democracy scam they push for at every other turn.
So you see, the Solution is to Stop voting for Democrats.
Yes, it really IS that simple.
That is the "job" that everyone has to do, or else there won't be any jobs left to do at all, policing included.
This city and dept is broken and destroyed beyond repair. Unless you talk to anyone merit or guys in super cool units. They think it’s still legit and 1995. But I digress. This broken city and dept truly has no remedy and will only get worse. If you have under 10 years on, use your fuckin brain and run. If you have anywhere near time to retire, run. Leave this piece of shit liberal ass city to the victims that want it this way. Soon enough there will be nowhere that is considered a “good neighborhood”. The fetal movement is the order of the day and makes all the sense in the world, but will have very real, very dangerous consequences soon enough. Vets aren’t doing shit, so rookies aren’t learning shit. Rookies are only learning that being the police is dead and if you value your family and your freedom, being fetal is the only way to survive. It’s a fucked up cycle with no end in sight.

To those of you that do see a light, that is a locomotive bearing down on you.
Sees the future? He’s talking about the past. I’ve been fetal since the ACLU shitstorm. Actually, bullshite lawsuits and the sick joke known as criminal court started to cool my heels prior to that. Now I’m much happier and healthier. Thanks liberals. I actually mean it with great sincerity. I would have undoubtedly been injured, possibly killed, with all the proactive police shit I was doing. The lawsuits would’ve piled up as well, adding to stupid amounts of anxiety and stress. No more. I haven’t been injured in years now, nor have I had a new lawsuit or CR. Life is good

3/17/2018 01:01:00 AM
Yes. It’s most unfortunate he’s surrounded by rubber stamps and Rahm’s yes men.
A Noble try by the Alderman, it would take another page to right all the wrongs that are occurring. Lets put the blame were it should be placed, eight years of obama and his little ting dancer. They were implementing these policies before Ferguson. After Ferguson, the Dem's and liberal media began their narrative in earnest. They brought in the FBI, DOJ, Cilivil Rights Unit, BLM, ACLU and the rest of the clowns came out of their rat holes. These policies are entrenched presently and now adding another group that could possibly fire not only Police Officers, but are given the political power to fire a Superintendant of Police.
We are now exposed to whatever political winds are blowing without any protection. I'm a short timer, and like the Alderman said, coppers who see the light in the tunnel are not going to do shit. Hell, I've seen a lot with just two years on doing the same.
Too the media, and the rest of the liberals, Policing in Chicago is Dead . The assholes who were part of these policies, FUCK YOU. Don't forget to look in the mirror and ask why is there a 16% clear-up rate of Homicides. Most are Black Victims, so maybe you can call the Detectives Investigating these cases Racist like you puck mother fuckers do for everything else.
P.S. Just order an AR-15 with an extra upper and a bunch of high capacity mag. Why, because the liberal Dem's are telling us not too. This is my two cents, if you agree that's fine, if you don't I give a fuck.
To whoever commented on taliferro not saying a word. He is one of the main alderman pushing for this. Boy did he forget where he came from. Sold you soul huh Chris?
Light foot is an embarrassment.
PLEASE LETS START A CAMPAIGN TO GET RID OF RAHM!!!
seriously, anybody is better
i hope.....
This is interesting. Obama=Genius, smartest president ever. Went to Occidental college and then transferred to Columbia, an Ivy League University for a BA in Political Science. Then get a JDL from Harvard, another Ivy League University. He then took all this and became a community activist and trouble making lawyer with an eye on politics.
Trump=dumbest president ever. Went to Fordham University and then transferred to the University of Pennsylvania, an Ivy League University and got a BS in Economics. He then went into the family business and vowed to make it bigger and better than ever. Apparently he was full of himself at a young age. Obviously, he wanted to be rich. He went from being a millionaire (few million, not tens of millions) to Billionaire. He did this in real estate, he didn't start some dot.com shit or a software company and become an instant billionaire or multi-millionaire.
It's interesting that a fella with a horseshit Pol Sci degree who later gets a JDL and has a calling to start trouble and a smooth tongue, as long as he's reading thoughts on a teleprompter and manages to get rich after being a politician, is regarded by many as just oh, so smart.
Then you have the other fella, a brash, loud mouthed graduate with a real degree, BS in Economics, from an Ivy League University, who goes out, raises hall, boasts about things and you do remember how he was always in the spotlight, he was controversial, full of himself and successful at many businesses and failed at some. But this guy, because he wanted to be a rich businessman, he's a dunce.
They both get into the presidency, Obama goes about sabotaging the very government he runs. Putting booby traps all over the place, installing troublemakers and other corrupt shit birds in places of power and you wonder why things were like they were, all the while, working from 1000 to 1600 hrs each day. But Obama has a not so secret weapon, if you criticize him, YOU'RE A RACIST! He never missed an opportunity to stir up shit against white people. Trump, goes in and starts being brash, like the big mouthed New Yorker he is. Controversial, hard charging, working 16 hours per day. He's used to running HIS OWN BUSINESS and starts to run the government the same way. It's just too bad he's so controversial and loud, he antagonizes the opposition so much they're losing their collective minds. But you can criticize him, he's a big mouthed white guy so you can say whatever you want about him. He, just like Obama, never misses an opportunity to stir up shit, but he does so loudly and against people that don't like the U.S. or our society in general.
Chris Talaferro is a big fat mooch who is a Rahm yes man. He only cares for HIS people in the 29th ward.
News flash. He's 10 years to late with this.

So, highly paid veterans retire and are replaced by highly paid coppers hired after them. The only real change that these goofs are causing is that most cops will retire after 20 now. Who the hell wants to put up with this foolishness from these progressive goofs?
3/17/2018 01:48:00 AM
Most will not retire after 20 years. Don’t know where you are getting that. Stupid statement
The job and the city are a fucking joke. The department has only one goal - release of all liability from YOU. That is why all the new training modules and scenarios are designed to make you second guess yourself to the point of hazard. We used to train in shoot/don't shoot exercises, now we are trained in get sued/don't get sued. They should be training us in active shooter scenarios, ambush situations, and mass casualty events but they don't. Instead, they want us to de-escalate OUR natural response to danger and reduce good old fashioned police street instincts until there is nothing left but a residue of litigious preoccupation during every encounter of police service. This equates us to being deliberately and unnecessarily placed in harms way for the sake of the city's legal responsibilities. Make no mistake, the threshold for the concerned effort in our safety has dropped greatly, while the standard of concern and care for the criminal variable has risen so high, it surpasses that of the average law abiding citizen as shown crystal clear in the case of Kate Steinle. If any doubt remains that this is true, one only needs to compare how these politicians and officials treat the death of fallen officer compared to death of a gang banger/future Harvard laureate after a fatal police encounter. A dead officer equals plenty of opportunity for fake sentiment, positive public relations, and abundantly sympathetic news coverage. A dead member of the "community" equals lawsuits, marches/demonstrations (aka looting and burning) and non-stop critiques and negative headlines courtesy of the media. Now figure this into the cost/benefit analysis of the city bean counters and tell me which one you think they will want more of?
SCC, off-topic, but do you have the list of politicians and judges that are somewhat on our side for this upcoming election? Just a few days away.
I’m laying back in the “HUNCH” box right now.
This is the way they wanted it, well, they get it.
Stay fetal my friends. The life you save should be your own.
What dumba** ppo wrecked a perfectly good squad in 12 racing to a dead sh**bird call. Take the ear piece out of your ear and pay attention. Remember you work in 12, you want to race go to the west or south side if you want to play police a**hole.
Just watching all those political ads made me think that the candidates who claim to have "reformed the justice system" sure did a horseshit job, didn't they?
1 out of 50, it’s a start...
And a big shout out to 29th Ward Office, Alderman Chris Taliaferro for not saying a word. You worthless POS.
Yeah he forgot where he came from real quick didn't he! Was a Sgt too. It's a shame!
Rahm will calculate a way to spank this man.
And then run someone against him next time.
Vote Republican on 20 march 18 let's stop this shit make sure the family does to retired Police
Speaking of low morale, should every officer dumped out of a unit or tact file some type of discrimination lawsuit? How about if you are laterally moved as commanding officer from one unit to another, not because of Georgas, but rather because of subordinates in said unit filing complaints? I wonder what settlement amount or promotion that is worth. Pathetic. Some spend their whole careers in patrol, regardless of rank, while others live a charmed life never given (undeservingly) a bad or mediocre spot.
Program will pass and soon the gangs will become the Police.
3/17/2018 06:37:00 AM
Does Police = Law Enforcement?
Does Lawmaker = Laws worthy of being enforced?
Does Elected Lawmaker = Person worthy of making laws?
Does the Electorate = actual Majority of citizens choosing the elected makers of laws?
The interpreting/adjudicating of said laws made & the managing of all vital to the citizens activities by those elected, shall await another time for pondering.
Ponder.
Veteran officers are only doing what is necessary now. Reactive policing.
3/17/2018 06:02:00 AM
Thoughtful officers.....try not to get the two confused.......
I have respect for cops who want to do their job, but frankly I don't think it is smart. You guys are employees hired by the citizens of Chicago. If the "community" wants anarchy, let them have anarchy. Don't be the fictional hero who gets the babe in the end. The person gets screw-ed is not going to be the heroine in this real life drama, but you. They are only worthy of your efforts if they support your efforts.
2 years, 3 months and a wake up. STAY FETAL! just back each other up, stay out of trouble answer your calls and make sure your neighborhood is safe as well as family.

Jeeeez.....that sounds so much like a convict.....awaiting release.........fuck......
I try to do the minimum. No more traffic stops or street stops. ISR's and its review system is a joke and only meant to jam you up, protect the city. They are no longer an investigative tool. Body cameras amd car cameras are a check on you and will be used to jam you up. G.O.'s are written by people who they don't really affect and are written to jam you up. Everything is about JAMMING you up! Best to stay fetal.
Hahaha found it! 3/16 10:51 Damn, that almost felt like real poleece work :D silly trolls and your TV commentary

Oh really? What would that be? I find the post to be reflective of most of the cops I serve with and myself. I’m not lazy, I’m just not retarded. Have fun when your stellar aggbat, UUW arrests and other part 1 felony arrests that will result in you being called down to IAD, COPA and the Dirksen building. You sound too dumb for your own good. Let me guess, 3-5 YOJ and you’re doing the job the “right way,” whereas those that came before you did it wrong? Impress me with your war stories next. You’re like the first guy OTJ to come in with part-1 arrests. Save your bullshit for a group that gives a fuck. You ARE the troll.

Worthless IAD hump whose allegiance lies

actual ideals of Policing and Public Safety.
He wears his peoples & folkses perpetual
aggrievement like a way oversized, half

Spotted it right away. FU troll....
Many Chicken Littles making dangerous comments. If the mayor wants to create yet another layer of government it is going to happen. How many cops are there, what are the voting numbers? Vote his ass and the stupid aldermen who vote for this bullshit out and then have the new mayor overthrow this bullshit. One black person or two does not speak for the damn community.
Answer to questions posted by 4:27 post. First three questions answer is no. Fourth question a little harder. First I believe that non taxpaying citizens should not be allowed to vote, or at least be counted as 1/2 vote. But the liberals would have a fit, for some reason liberals have lost any semblance of common sense. So were left with a mostly uneducated and liberal voting base. Therefore they are onto qualified to elect any lawmakers. They will vote their feelings and pocketbooks. The only educated voters are those that vote against the current establishment. They are tired of paying for the freeloaders and lawless morons pillaging your city. Can tell from your post your one of the over educated liberals that believe in the social justice warrior mentality. Common sense says commit a crime go to jail for a long time. Simple as that. Hurt me or my loved ones your going to pay with our life simple as that. Try to Steal my things I will shoot you like a cur dog, simple as that. I know that sounds reactionary but I can't help it just in my DNA. Simple as that.
Reform the justice system they did. Now law-abiding citizens are the criminals and the lowlifes are sitting in judgment. Love it. Fine sanctuary city you have allowed to be created. Keep voting Democratic they have a lot more progressive ideas to unroll.

^The 2y3m commenter will retire with a full pension and medical benefits, he's also looking at zero lawsuits, and zero prison time. Very good for him, not many perceptive officers out there like the above poster. Other kids can indeed learn from him but sadly some will become bullet points at Rahm's re-election speech.
Standards being lowered to allow felons to apply. Just what you need in city, known criminals enforcing the law. Good luck, your going to need it. I am enjoying watching the city trashed from afar. But you do have a choice, it's called voting. You can change the direction beginning with next election.

Too bad O’Shea in the 19th Ward is not a supporter of 1st Responders like Ald. Napolitano & Ald. Sposato are. He definitely needs to be voted out in 2019.
Actually this POS showed up at the Sgt union meeting. And was telling us how he thinks it is a good idea to have a board to control the sup.... Well guess what he did not want to hear. A good sgt with some time on the job, said why dont we just cut you alderman in half. How bout you guys vote on that. Well what do you think the alderman said to that... NO.

Speaking of Sgt No-Brains-Crain, he can’t stop taking credit for going directly to Melissa to order cabinets for the homicide room . He got tjem in a day and should get credit but jeeez dude - we get it, she’s your BFF!
Mind u, the poor homocide detectives requested the cabinets over s year ago and brought their own tools to revamp that room way before thos idiot arrived . Yet of course, he takes all the credit for coming up with this idea and getting it done 🙄 WHAT A TOOL.
I'll take the trolling challenge, "hundreds of collars" please tell me if I won, ha ha. I consider myself a former member of the real police who's lost his bite over the last 20 years, unfortunately, not by choice. Just giving them department they so richly deserve.

If Police = Law Enforcement is no/false, the, who does enforce/impose laws upon those who choose to not comply with said laws?
If Law maker = Laws worthy of being enforced is no/false, then, which laws, if any, either those which require and/or those which prohibit, are unworthy of being followed?
If Elected Lawmaker = Person worthy of making laws is no/false, then, what instead of or in addition to being elected = worthy of making laws, given our chosen elected representative form of government?
As to the 4th question, and your observations on it:
Does the paying of taxes, to have a full vote in electing the makers of law = the presumption that, under the current laws, only those who earn, and/or own property, and/or purchase at retail, and/or pay licensing fees, and/or pay permiting fees, and/or pay bills with a variety of fees, surcharges, usage/maintenance, etc, fees, and/or whatever else is tacked onto anything & everything, short of drawing breath, which requires the transfering of earned/worked for income from the earner's pocket to the pocket of our elected form of government coffers, should have that full vote counted as such?
Does "simple as that" = the presence of the desire to not ponder further?
Ponder?
(And, no, NOT Pound Her......)
He sees the future and if the anti police liberals have their way the future is bleak.
3/17/2018 07:46:00 PM
The future is always bleak, since the future has not yet become the present, it can only be an imagined as accurate speculation on what it is likely to be.
Even when this speculation is chosen to likely be bright, said choosing is motivated by the present desire for the future to not be as bleak as the present is.
Thus, the hope for the best/better, prepare for the worst, and endure the present is applied.

If you live in the 41st Ward, please take the time to talk to your neighbors on behalf of Anthony Napolitano. The Aldermanic and Mayors election will start slowly after Tuesday. Emmanual and Madigan want Naps out and are willing to spend a fortune to do it. If Heneghan is elected the 41st Ward will be another 45th Ward. Heneghans mentor Is Arena, who he looks up to. Won't be long that the 41st Ward will be getting the same kind of buildings that Arena is putting up. Don't be fooled by Heneghan, he is a left wing liberal who will do what he is told like O'Connor. The future of the most conservative Ward in the City is at stake, vote Napolitano a stand up guy!!
I went to that Alderman Chis Taliaferro's 29th Ward web page to see who he is. Look at the photo of him on the cell phone. He has dirty finger nails-yuck!

When are the political leaders going to learn? Two simple ways to have a great police department, 1 end political interference. In plain English stop using the department as a political pawn. 2 End merit promotions. No reason in this 21st century an officer can't have a test score at the time the test is completed. It shouldn't take 6 months in this day of computers.
Alderman Napolitano is a stand up man. Wish I lived in 41 so I could vote for him. He and Alderman Nicholas Sposato (38) held a couple of rallies to support CPD and held a memorial for the 5 Dallas Officers who were slain. AWOL from these events was the empty Arena in 45.
Progressive liberals are destroying this once great city.
Anthony I think you should run for mayor .
The answer is "Collars". I also have never heard anyone from CPD use that. The old timers use to say "They have a pinch".
Relative to the 10:51 troll. I have dozens of shirts, but the collars are bad on most of them. None of them pinch though!

I sure as hell did. Pack your 457 to the limit from day one and you can have a 30 yr retirement payout and only do 20 active years. Well, in the past, they certainly wouldn't be "active" now. Instead, make it , 20 fetal years and you can retire as if you stayed on the job for 30.
Follow the money on this one.
They want a pretty big budget to pay for salaries for these fools.
Always follow the money.

He isn't? Hmm, cause he has a whole lot of us fooled then. I mean, it's not like he isn't throwing back the vest pancake breakfasts, calling out criminals or saluting the brave men and women of the CPD ever.
We get it. You saw him somewhere and he may have forgotten your name. It happens. Get over it.

You would be insane to work again in law enforcement. Trust me, the burbs will deal with the same climate CPD is ubder now. Dart’s integrity task force believes over half of suburban department police shootings were unjustified and are being prepared to be reopened.

Your intial presumption is, for this area of our nation, false.
Our elected political "leaders" are not leaders in the sense you presume.
They are not even leaders in the nature of the Pied Piper of Hamlin, though they do bear a strong resemblence to the town's "leaders" who renniged upon their agreement with the Piper and, thus, the Piper piped, after fufilling that agreement, concerning the town's rat infestation, all the town's children away into no one has ever known where land.
Your two fundemental solutions, to your stated goal of "...ways to have a great police department..." are spot on, as a start.
Thus, given the nature and intent of our elected "leaders", both spot on suggestions will never be initiated by said "leaders".
As for oiur "leaders" learning, well, they all know all that they have decided they need to know to do what they do with the intent that they do it.
Finally, the grading of individual exams shouldn't take 6 minutes, even when done with pen in hand, perhaps giving an hour per each, for the examiner to read without blowing an eyeball to brain fuse.
