Rahm Falling Short (pun intended)

Rahm has never had more than a passing acquaintance with the truth. And even when close to truthful, reality keeps popping up and ruining the illusion. Evidently, Rahm is hiring hundreds of secretaries, not street coppers:
  • More than a year into the Chicago Police Department’s biggest hiring surge in decades, 14 of the city’s 22 police districts now have fewer beat cops than they did when the push was announced, records obtained by the Chicago Sun-Times show.

    The city hired more than 1,400 cadets and placed them in the police academy between October 2016 — when Mayor Rahm Emanuel unveiled his plans to expand the department — and late March.

    The new hires have outpaced the 862 retirements from the department during the same period, the records show. This net gain of about 600 sworn police personnel put the city on track to meet the mayor’s promise to add nearly 1,000 officers over two years.
Yay! More police....but:
  • But the number of rank-and-file officers assigned to police districts across Chicago has dropped in the 17 months since Emanuel’s announcement, the Sun-Times found.

    The number of beat cops assigned to districts citywide was 6,046 as of March 29, a Sun-Times analysis of police department records shows. That was a drop of nearly 200 officers since October 2016, when there were 6,244 beat cops on patrol in districts.
And that's just the Slum Times article. The Tribune gives Rahm a smack, too, over diversity concerns:
  • Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s administration has consistently stressed its intent to diversify the Chicago Police Department during its push to add more than 1,000 cops and change the image of a force beleaguered by controversial shootings of black men by white officers.

    The city succeeded at bringing black candidates into the early stages of the hiring process. Thirty-eight percent of applicants were African-Americans the last time the department held a police exam, a City Hall news release noted last October.

    But that effort has not resulted in a significant increase in black cops.

    In fact, while the department made a net gain of nearly 800 officers between October 2016 and the end of March 2018, the percentage of African-Americans on the force dropped slightly, according to a Tribune analysis of department data.
The usual aldermorons demand reducing hiring standards, ignoring background warning flags, and pretty much marching black applicants to testing sites at gunpoint so that they get hired.

All-in-all, not a good day for Rahm in the media. Good thing it was on a Friday so no one was paying attention.

Coincidentally, Rahm was hiding out all day. No special appearances, which are usually plastered on social media. He is getting hammered on a lot of things, the ATF being just one of them. Maybe the story about the bodyguard is true?

Few officers know that Twice a Month the Chicago Police Academy Physical Skills instructors and supervisors conduct evening physical conditioning and nutrition training for those who have applied for CPD but cannot pass the physical fitness test. They range from overweight to obviously clinically obese. They are given numerous (couldn't get an exact number) of times to pass that joke of POWER test.

Many qualified black applicants don't want to be the police. I'm not sure why, I suppose that they just might be able to get better jobs than this one. The department keeps hiring people that want to be office help and that's what they get, good looking women that really don't want to do this shitty patrol officer job and opt for an office type job that is more 9 to 5. You know, no weekends, holidays off and no scuffling with corpses, crack heads, domestic batterers and entitled people that think that no one can tell them what to do and will violently resist any effort to get them to comply.

I saw a district up north got 10 openings! Yay! Oh shit, they're down over 150 from 15 or 20 years ago, 2 more retirees in the mix soon, some are going to the new summer mobile and a bunch are bidding OUT. Damn, 10 new cops and a net gain of, wait for it...probably ZERO. Damn, still short of help...

Rahm has been lying about these 1,000 new officers since he first ran for mayor, and neither the Tribune or Scum-Times does anything other than print Rahm's Press releases! Why doesn't the Media simply demand under Freedom of Information, a breakdown of Why Black applicants fail? Superintendent Weiss brought the polygraph into the hiring process. Are Blacks failing because of that part of the screening process? The questions and standards on the issue of cannabis use are not being clearly stated. IF THERE IS A SPECIFIC AMOUNT OR TIME FRAME REGARDING THE USE OF WEED IT SHOULD BE CLEARLY STATED PRIOR TO TESTING. Applicants are arbitrarily being hired. Some who fail the Power Test, are allowed to take it again, numerous times! Officers with clear disabilities, that should disqualify them, are hired. One applicant, who has difficulty walking because of cerebral palsy was hired and supposedly passed the academy! Even the Americans with Disabilities Act has limitations! As for those who are just too out of shape to pass the Power Test, one has to wonder how people in their twenties, have such disrespect for their own bodies; perhaps they simply should not be a Chicago Police Officer. If you let your body turn to shit at this age, what are you going to be like in ten or fifteen years? Applicants are hired, when they are unsure of their Gender, and later use the City Medical to have sex changes! HOW CAN AN ADULT UNSURE OF THEIR GENDER PASS A PSYCHOLOGICAL TEST? Arbitrarily setting standards, based on Political Correctness, is sure to generate litigation. THERE CAN BE NO REASON FOR THE TEST BEING GIVEN THIS MANY TIMES IN SUCH A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, UNLESS THE DEPARTMENT IS SEEKING TO HIRE A SPECIFIC TYPE OF CANDIDATE. And, there are two other points, that are being ignored: 1. How can anyone, other than a liar, continue to say that we are going to hire 1,000 officers, with a dwindling population of taxpayers? 2.For over 30 years, proponents of Enlightened Criminal Justice Policy have stated that increasing the number of police, does not correspond to a decrease in crime. So where is Rahm's justification for hiring 1,000 new officers in the first place? Or is this simply about staying in Power? Baby "G"

First I heard of it. News said that 8500 signed up. City employees were calling applicants to encourage them to attend. Especially African-American. Only 44% show up to take test. News said very low sign up.

True?

For the reporters reading:

The Trump(MAGA) Administration demanded to know what Rahm was doing with all of the Fed$$$ he’s been getting to maintain a police presence at O’Hare.

They were shocked to find that O’hare was basically insecure and way understaff because Rahm took the money and blew it on bullshit for his buds.

The city was forced to open bids for officers to transfer to build up the police presence at O'Hare.

High seniority officers from north side districts are clawing for these chances to get out of the jackpot known as District law enforcement.

Those northside districts are now shorter then ever because Rahm won’t open up bids for officers to replace them.

If he opened bids for those districts, the successful bidders would come from ghetto and semi-ghetto districts that are awash in coppers.

Now take that downtown and print it!

We've said this time and time again...

Pull "The Police" out of communities of "color"
and let the communities of "color" be "Policed"
ONLY by those who hail from these same
communities...

"Y'all standards are too high..."

"Y'all ain't culturally sensitive
enough to meet the needs of
OUR community."

"Y'all need to stop harassin'/arrestin'/chasin'/genocidin'
OUR community."

"We ONLY need Police that look like US
in OUR community."

Ok then...
Give THEM their "Police" that THEY have been
howling and agitating for...

Once they are given THEIR Police, it would be more
than fair and gist for high comedy if they would/could
be made to STFU forever more about crime in THEIR
communities.

Then all of the "Old Style" pre-reformist Police will be
given back to the communities they were stolen from/
offered a one-shot chance to bid in and Police these
areas and protect them against the maurauding scouts
from Dude Inc. and other assorted n'eer-do-wells.

Laugh out loud as the false narrative by the ACLU, the SJWs,
local media, the perpetual race grievance industrial complex,
COPA and others - fall backwards into it's own ass flailing
and screaming...

"Y'all gave us what we asked for and now we're REALLY
mad cuz we can no longer use the false narrative as a
political and social engineering bio-weapon against YOU!"

Give THEM the "Police" they want and leave them
to sort their affairs amongst each other.

Ignore their screams, curses and wails for a season.

It'll be for he greater good if upright and law abiding
society would finally say "Enough," push back from
the table and walk away taking their treasure and
civilizing influence with them.

"Why y'all actin' like y'all too good to be embracin'
our culture an' shit?"

Nothing but excuses and everything to
avoid acting on actual and true life
reasons why...

Meanwhile?
The Police Are The Problem.

Right?

ANY current Rahm bashing today will looooooooong be forgotten come the election (runoff) next spring.
Both papers will endorse him with commentaries that basically say, “even with his shortcomings, Rahm is most qualified to take Chiraq forward.”

In terms of campaign strategy and media manipulation, Rahm is light years ahead of any of the pretenders.

The job is his, as long as he wants it.

Found this while looking at another news site. Highest paid mayors in the U.S..
Rahm comes in at #6 between Seattle and Philadelphia.

"6. Chicago
Mayor: Rahm Emanuel
First elected: 2011
Salary: $216,000
City population: 2,687,682 (ranks third)
Emanuel took the job soon after serving as President Barack Obama’s chief of staff. Since his election, he’s been faced with issue after issue, including but not limited to high debt, billions of dollars’ worth of unfunded pensions, sinking credit ratings, a teachers strike, high murder rates and police-citizen tension.
Lately he’s been looking for ways to balance the city’s budget, pushing through sizable property tax increases and increased ticketing of illegal parked cars on weekends (in a city that already has cameras to ticket speeders and red-light runners). The city’s soft-drink tax brought national attention, too."

Obviously not 100% accurate, the soda tax was a county thing.
But are we getting our moneys worth? I think not!

You must not be from Chicago. Until all the behind the scene cajoling, back slapping, hand shaking, hand wringing, hand washing another hand, telephone calls, favor granting, favor repaying, doorknob polishing, undergarments hitting the floor and cash dropping takes place, you have not a notion of the direction the newspapers will take until it is in print.

But, when they do make a choice, after four paragraphs of a blah-blah-blah editorial endorsement, the last sentence could be, "Yes, we have reported on his shortcomings, but in comparison, we found he is the best hope for Chicago."

Or, "Yes, we have reported on the current officeholder's shortcomings and have found that Jack Meoff is a better choice for the future of Chicago."

They will angle it to fit their best advantage for whatever they want to achieve. And, all in all, will an endorsement really make a difference when both newspapers have the credibility of a con man, which is none.

From this story:
What kind of city do we live in...?"

2 women shot outside Mount Sinai Hospital
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-met-chicago-shootings-violence-20180505-story.html

Who is the ceo of this city to answer the above first question contained in the story? The answer to the question is the type of city we live in reflects the values of the man in charge who happens to follow the democratic mantra of breaking federal laws boldly, let the criminals roam
Freely! The elected democrats vilify law and order, development of every type of group to destroy police officers using every means necessary including using the dishonest media, planting stories that make “liars anonymous” blush, show your disrespect to hard working police officers taking away ruthlessly their health care!

Carjacking, law enforcement shot, bloodshed, murder, now hospitals make the unsafe list! Hospitals were sacred until now, now people have Zero sanctuary space, unless your here illegally then your granted sanctuary, freebies and the right to vote, in order to keep things to go from extremely bad to extremely deadly!

Citizens, residents support police first and foremost God bless the police!

"Some killed the rest lives changed forever rahm and da crew Democrats values hey now how about durbin and duckwork Tammy along with the rest of the bloodshed is great as long as we get elected crew!"

Punctuation, spelling, grammar, dear friend. We recognize that you are throwing a shot at Tammy, but it would help solidify the point you're trying to make - that Duckworth is a dummy - if you knew that it was actually "duct work." Unless you meant duckwork, which doesn't make any sense whatsoever and actually puts you in standing for "Biggest Idiot Who Ever Found This Blog."

Duh,

We know that...Its one of the reasons the weasel is backing down. Tiny Dancer doesn't want to fork out millions more to the pensions.

It has nothing to do with pensions, never did. If overtime was pensionable, it would have been enforced long before swiping

Check NYC. Their OT is pensionable. In fact, so
Much OT was earned after 9/11. A lot of cops had to retire early because they made so
Much $$. It’s a fact

Diversity >> over more qualified applicants? I waited 3 1/2 years to get hired. I knew an auxiliary guy from the suburbs that waited a long time too. He nailed the entrance exam too. Will 5 months in the academy and a blue uniform, turn a rotten apple ripe? Remember , you get what you ask for.. and they want diversity.

There isn't a number you can put on how many officers we need because no clear headed individual is going to go out and do police work in this city so why are we still talking about this as if numbers matter?

Dude gets shot and dozens of people try to overtake the hospital while he's being treated. This was hours and hours after he was brought in. Multiply that by every gunshot victim brought in. Meanwhile the group is growing and is on their phones and social media shit talking the opps. What ever happened to a couple people waiting and keeping the rest informed of updates by phone? They don't all need to be there. There's nothing they can do. It does more harm than good. It's not fair to the other patients, the staff, or the neighborhood that looses police manpower to referee them. P.S., How many of the people involved cooperated in the investigation? For either crime?

Great idea! Lower standards and give every applicant a gun and a badge. What could go wrong? That's democrat thinking.

Hire men and women with education and high moral standards and a backbone. Let them put criminals in jail. Cops are all blue. Cut the race card shit out.

OT Strange that none of the MSM had any mention of the incidents at Mag Mile last night when 300-400 teens went wild and attacked each other and strangers. Must not be news when a certain demographic riots. Oh that's right that demographics is over represented in city and county jails so lets keep it quiet. Rahm and Kim keeping their voters happy what else could you expect?

Hey J.J. where in the post you responded to was the race card played? Because a lower standard mentioned you automatically assume that only people of color fit that category. The point being be that high moral standards were required now that has been compromise in effort to attract minorities to CPD. Past police record now acceptable. Well fool I for one do not want an ex gangbanger carrying a badge gun on the streets of my city. Old ways die hard in ghetto.

Anyone out there that was denied a job because they failed the power test, drug test, psyc test or backrpond check should be calling the lawyers and get some reto pay & benefits.

5/05/2018 10:56:00 AM

It has all been tried in the past. And, they were all unsuccessful. Try to keep up.



Its been done, and successfully. Not that I recommend it.

There has never been a successful legal challenge of a drug or a psych test as they relate to CPD hiring, however, a redo of the power test or a tweeked background with new information are possible without a lawsuit.

Didn't CPD windup with active gang members in their ranks the last time they lowered the hiring standards?

5/05/2018 09:24:00 AM
Before Phat Phil raised the hiring standards, all you needed was a GED minimum to be hired. You had a whole lot of street smart people that wanted the job and were good at it. Now you have everyone with bs college majors that couldn’t find a job in the private sector, that don’t want to be the Police but want the money and benefits. The amazing thing is that there are just as many illiterate college people as GED people, if not more!

Way off probably 30 years ago the psych test was challenged by about 100 candidates and they won. All were hired

It was in the late 1970's. They were not candidates. They were already hired, sworn-in on their first day and in the academy before being tested. The department and the city goofed bigly and had to keep them as employees. Since that mishap, the psych test results have not been beaten by those in the hiring process.

Also, the first random drug tests were challenged by a number of sworn and they were reinstated because of a problem with the chain of evidence, however, since the mid 1980's, the drug test, random and for hiring, has been invincible as it relates to illegal drugs.
