Transparency?

Here's an interesting passage from the "Memorandum of Agreement" between Lisa Madigan's Office, the City, the ACLU and assorted bad actors including #blm regarding the CPD:
  • The OAG and the City agree to meet with counsel for the Coalition Founders to discuss the Coalition Founders’ proposed consent decree provisions, if any, as the consent decree is being drafted.

    To the extent the OAG or the City disagree with terms proposed by the Coalition Founders, the City or the OAG will, where feasible and appropriate, discuss with the Coalition Founders alternative terms for consideration.

    In the event the City or the OAG has a conceptual disagreement with a proposal from the Coalition Founders, the City or the OAG will explain the basis of the disagreement.

    The Parties agree that these discussions and any documents or information exchanged by the Parties will be kept confidential unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties, and be governed by Federal Rule of Evidence 408. The terms of this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement
What happened to Rahm's protestations of "transparency?" Have they all disappeared?

There are also about 10 different paragraphs where the city surrenders any right to object to procedures, time constraints, and counter litigation, effectively hamstringing themselves, and by extension, the taxpayers.

Go read it all. It's eyeopening.

SCC did you miss the article in the Trib the other day about the study that two professors did confirming the ACLU effect in Chicago? The study claims it is responsible for over 200 murders in our fair city. Of course it was ridiculed by the usual suspects even though it is data driven.

I’m out at 20. This City can rot in it’s own stinking, festering corpse that it’s becoming. I’ll find something else, anything else, someplace else. Don’t care at this point.

So BLM has had more meetings about the future contract of the Chicago Police DEPT than The FOP Board of directors?

Could this be considered negotiating in bad faith using laws to get around current contract?

I really hope that cast of characters at LODGE 7 start earning those great salaries.
May be MR hockey and Squeaky the whisper can handle some heavy contract loads.
Or may be the great novelist will use those writing skills to actually fight something other than the dead tree media.

With all the stars being alined agents you why would anyone want to join the CPD. You have to be nuts to want the job today and nuts shouldn't be hired. Might as well not have a Police department when those in power don't want the Police to be the Police.

The only thing transparent is Rahm's complete willingness to destroy every vestige of this department and burn every officer in his path, in order to steal another re-election.

Law enforcement is the most powerful entity in the country. You can cripple the city by following the rules that the department sets based on outside pressures imposed by preachers, alderman, BLM, etc. but it has to be a true combined and unified effort. Take the calls, fill out the paperwork and double check everything you do in order to protect yourself and at the same time your unavailable for another job. If an arrest is made make sure you have the the arestee’s car towed whenever possible. Take your TIME to fill out paperwork, don’t take an unsafe car out, New York did it in the 70’s and by the time they were done the police dictated to the city what Color they wanted for their uniforms and the city agreed just to get them to go back to a workable environment instead of a clogged system when the rules are followed to a T.

How do you get there? You’ll never get there if not unified. Too many kiss aseses, clouted and new coppers who, through no fault of their own, want to make the arrest and run out for more. Slowdown, no one can fault you for making sure your following the rules set up to slow the system down.

What will it take for people to realize that the ACLU agreement and ISR policy has allowed crime to skyrocket. Strong armed robberies, car jackings burglary to auoto’s on the northwest side. These crimes are out of control because police have to follow this ACLU agreement and articulate in an ISR why someone is being stopped. Guess what they’re not doing them!

Now your going to sit down with a whole slew of anti police groups and determine a “consent decree” that police will need to work within and this agreement is to be hammered out in secret???

Here’s an idea, how about we just follow the law? You know the ILCS which documents all of the laws of Illinois and what the consequences are if someone is to break those laws. But not in this “sanctuary city.” We don’t need to follow the law. Our leaders decide what laws we will follow and what laws we will not enforce.

So now these same politicians are going to rewrite CPD policy and tell policemen what laws to enforce? Unbelievable. This city is truly amazing and these Democrats and progressives are going to turn this city into the Wild West where the average family can’t safely raise a family without being victimized over and over again

The police in Chicago are the whipping boys/girls and it is getting extremely worse!In the last world war hitlers Germany used the same tactics hiding information relevant to peoples futures,and changing rules and laws whenever he wanted to just like rahm is doing! So many of us have dealt with swindlers, robbers,murderers, liars and everything in between! Never in my life have I witnessed a more conniving,lying,faker anti-police person than rahm! This is the guy who goes on tv on the pathetic colberts program,then goes all over the media telling everyone that chiraq is a "Trump free zone" and he will stand up for the illegal criminals and give them millions,probably billions of tax payers money! looks like the "forgotten men and women" here will stay forgotten dont know why but Trump seems scared to do what he promised here and send in the feds wonder why?

Rahm the same clown that rapidly removed CPD retirees health care,and the next day mind you gave over 1 million to the city clerk who he appointed anna to use to make ID cards for illegal criminals that give them reduced discounts and the right to vote in this corrupt swamp! federal laws violated and we expect the thugs and illegal invaders to obey any laws? Leaders lead by example and they expect you (us) to follow their example , so the crime increasing is just criminals following rahms lead!

Read it. There’s a section where they want to determine supervision AND promotions. Can’t wait to see what they define as “merit” or “qualified for promotion.”

Why don’t they just drive around in the back seat and tell us what to do already. Eveidently non of us are qualified or trained properly to do our job.

Maybe we should all quit and they can hire a new police force. Oh wait no one wants the job. Nobody is signing up for the test. Hmm wonder why?

Someone's balls are in a vise for that kind of crap to be in any agreement the Shitty is going to "negotiate"... Consider that it's essentially a "done deal" and this "negotiation" is all a sham.

The FOP needs to demand that the whole thing be done in the light of day because otherwise the members are getting royally fucked. Remember the old adage: Sunlight is the best disinfectant.

Also interesting, Lisa Madigan the AG oversees the Public Access Counselor's office, the authority for all things related to violations of the Open Meetings Act. The AG PAC regularly issues opinions about municipalities that attempt to conceal that which is to be publicly FOIA'able... See here, and especially note the title of the website page: "Ensuring Open and Honest Government"

"a consent decree containing provisions designed to reduce the likelihood that encounters between police and
African American and Latino residents and persons with disabilities will result in the use of
unnecessary or excessive force. "

Wait... what about white folks (or people)??

You wanna know what will reduce the likelihood of unnecessary or excessive force? 1.Don't break the law. 2.If you do, comply with the officer(s). 3.Don't be an asshole. 4. See rule #1.

Ever wonder what things would be like on a national level if Hillary won?
Where would Rahm be now?
How does Mayor PrickWanker sound? (perish the thought)
This is the Rahm local version of get even with the police to pander to the uneducated feral criminal and RESIST law and order.

DUMP Prime Minister for life - Vladeemer Rähm

The Angry Homunculus is having a fit, his vision of a walk up re-election was just blasted in the ass by Willie Wilson for Mayor.
WW accounted for +50,000 select demo votes (3rd in the 2015 Primary)

Nonetheless, another progressive or uber machine Lib will carry the Shortshanks Corruption torch like Rahm has.

Let it be a LONG hot town summer-in-the Sanctuary City.
Your working smart may lead to a two birds, one stone result in Feb 2019.
Hey Rahm & Jugghaid, beat the rush and pack them bags early.

Say No to the COPRAh and to the next IL AG - both Dem & Rep candidates on board for the CPD Reform Consent Decree.

How would you feel about having everything associated with police contract negotiations being recorded and published on the internet for anybody to see? It would make any kind of negotiation almost impossible.

As a Sgt., I am amused when dispatch notifies me of a RAP(radio assignments pending, for the non-police). What the fuck do I care if we are in a backlog? I don't want any innocent people hurt but other than that, it's Real Ass Hole Mayor's problem. I refuse to sweat the officers to hurry on their jobs. I don't encourage dog assing but I support taking your time to cover yourself. Otherwise, copa will fuck you while the crooked politicians smile and corrupt reverends applaud. Society called for it and it they shall receive. Be careful what you wish for, you will get it. What is this "it" that I speak of? "It" is the savage, barbaric, thieving, sodomizing, beating, murdering and hell spawn group of urban predator monsters that are the creation of modern day leftist liberals.

Communist Soviet Union Nearly 80 years of ruthless oppression. Communist China so far 70 years of ruthless oppression. Not a peep about how oppressive they are and were. Baby girls killed when a baby boy is born. You can only have 1 child there. Tell me again how many of each countries citizens were slaughtered by their governments? Pol Pot ended how many millions of lives? 7 or 8 million Ukrainians starved to death by the Soviet Union. How many Chinese have died at the hands of their governments?

I'm so looking forward to the leftist elements of our own society to administer the same justice to us.
