Ed, Shut Up
- Chicago Police Supt. Eddie Johnson released body camera footage Sunday that shows a CPD officer fatally shooting an armed man less than a day earlier in the South Shore neighborhood.
Calling the shooting a “tragic lost of life,” Johnson said “if we expect neighborhoods to cooperate with police, we need to do our part to remain transparent.”
No Ed, it wasn't a "tragic loss of life." It was a criminal refusing to follow (a) the Law and (B) lawful police orders to comply with a completely legal and justifiable Terry Stop.
We expect neighborhoods to cooperate because it's the correct thing to do...part of the Social Contract that makes America work. The fact that some neighborhoods seem to ignore this is why they can't break the cycle of poverty.
This is ridiculous though:

This is ridiculous though:
- Earlier Sunday, Johnson said the department showed the video to some of Augustus’ family members, including his mother and stepfather.
Johnson said he offered his “sincerest condolences” to the family, but then added he recognizes the incident has been tough on officers and the department is supporting them.
Anyone know if Special Ed called on the involved officers? Visited the other cops injured by flying urine-filled bottles, rocks and other debris? Or send Commander Bangles to tell them that their actions were completely justified and not to worry about COPA and lawsuits? Or isn't Rahm allowing you to do that? It would be bad visuals we suppose - supporting the police who are acting in a completely legal and justified manner. Can't have that now can we? The "community" might get ideas.
Time to resign Ed. Tell Rahm he lost the "community" vote and just leave.

should have said,
"Johnson said he offered his “sincerest condolences” to the piece of shits family"
Tragic loss of Life ? Maybe Ed would think that copper' the mob could of sent to ICU are irrelevant. Sad -Sad - Sad. This man is a minus zero for a human being.
Ok, this is ridiculous. Slap in all of our faces.
When the commander of 003 got on the scene she told the supervisor in charge of Summer Mobile to have the officers remove their leather and helmets. She did not want to intimidate the locals. The supervisor and her had words and then ordered them to remove the items. She also told the troops that the "citizens" had the right to protest. Another merit hack who needs to leave. But keep on making those stops!!!!
What an idiot
Ed, just fucking resign.
FOP, make a “no confidence” declaration in this dept’s leadership.
Johnson is a LOSER. Whatever respect he had as a boss before he became super is long gone. He is the worst boss this department has EVER seen
Rham...GENTRIFICATION is the answer to that part of the city...
Ed; why don’t you just join the march with the law brakers. Ed is a piece of 💩
The DemocRATS caused all this hate red we see for the Police! Ed is way over his head and should not be the Superintendent. I just can’t wait for him to go!
Nice shit show Kidney Bean
Ed is a loser. His policy is hurting the city and the department. Fuck Ed.
From all I have heard it was a completely justified shooting of a illegally armed man, who was resisting arrest. The man was engaging in typical jungle behavior. Big Ed needs to take a long vacation.
Ed was compromised.
Ed is now rahm's bitch.
The Chicago police department is almost unrecognizable.
Mission accomplished, I suppose.
If Rahm had been this quick to release the McDonald tape; HE WOULD NOT BE MAYOR TODAY! Yep it was easy to release this tape, because it looks as good as it could look, and if it had not, the cops would have been disposable. Though to the True Believers, No Shooting in the Hood by the Occupation Forces (Poleece), can be justified. And I have to say, looking at the cops on the scene, there appear to have been more police of Color, than White Devil police. So when the Poleece is more Black and Brown than White; whom shall you blame, at that point? In fact, who is really at fault right now? 1. The Poleece is not the problem. The homicide figures are at 295, not counting the ones on life support, soon to be dead. Poleece has only "killdt" 4. 2. With the Poleece now hamstrung, and virtually reduced to the status of Witnesses, they are also not capable of being the Solution. The Marches have been going on since the 1960's, yet the ignorance continues. Where are the New Solutions? And what happened to the Billion$ spent to solve the problems? Baby "G"
UNDERSTAND THIS!!! It would be cheaper for the city to pay out for a line of duty death then it will be to pay the family of this criminal. We are nothing but a bean counters nightmare. Remember that when you are engaging criminals. Look no further than the Rialmo verdict, these asshole jurors wanted to give the dead criminals family tax money to make them feel better. Instead of telling dead assholes family to go pound sand. Police officers lives mean NOTHING!! We have a superintendent who apologizes to a dead criminals family. This motherfucker was going to kill a police officer, and this idiot apologized to the family.
the officers actions were incredible!! great job!!!!
i hope that officer will take much pride in their actions.
once again....Great Job
you are a credit to this Department
I think it was a smart move to meet with the family and show the video. He was between a rock and hard place on public release. An even earlier release might have stuffed the genie back into the bottle...at least partially.
Special Ed has never been the Police and this proves it. He is just a yes man for Rahm.
Ed is a joke.
Ed needs to take his E.D meds. Maybe it will help him grow a pair.
Ed has done more damage to this agency than the past Superintendent’s all put together.
I really hate this job.
Well said SCC! He seems much more suited to be a SJW or an illegitimate reverund! He picked sides and it's definitely not the side that he shares the same uniform that he puts on everyday.
Special Ed so needs to step down. He is over his head. It’s plainly obvious he doesn’t know what he is doing. Risk your life for this guy! LOL!
Commander Bangles?!?! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hey SCC: Commander Pig Head had roll call at the taste saying they were selling fake tickets. Said they were decent but the paper was not right. Grabbed about four people selling tickets for half price. Come to realize tickets were real. Inside job of ticket theft been going on since opening day. City out an estimated 500K. Can't make this shit up. F/1 on facebook with stack of tickets even tickets that vendors redeemed with count numbers on them making there way back out. NICE TASTE RAHM.
I lost all respect for Ed a while back. I don’t expect him do the right thing. He does everything half ass backwards and gives us BS. Look for more BS out of this administration.
I no longer have any faith in the CPD leadership. Most of the Command Staff are clueless. I believe are only hope is for the next Mayor to clean house.
You have to go to: Father Michael Pfleger Facebook page. The reason the City released the video so quickly is that Pfleger made a threat about it. He goes on to speak of the anger at 71st & Jeffery, the lack of resources, bad cops getting away with murder and neglect. He further stated, "Either the City can address it or continue to watch this volcano erupt. RIOT IS THE EXPRESSION OF THE UNHEARD." He's doing what the "Rev" Al Sharpton did in the Crown Heights, Brooklyn NY riots in 1991. Get ready for some hard times with this thug priest and his "community".
Pathetic leadership. Embracing the behavior as though its justified under any circumstances good or bad shooting grants the appearance that they have the right to act like fools. Same with his pathetic handling of down town crowds. Hands off boys and girls the yutes jus be funnin, or they mad so they must ve allowed to express. Sh!t bag leader is no leader at all.
This Eddie Johnson is not on the side of the police. He shows the video and makes the weakest statements and says we need more gun laws, never really blaming the thug that got shot or the thugs that attacked the police. This guy lacks the courage to call out the community and place the blame where it should be. Don't do anything as long as this wimp and the wimp Rahm are in power.
How in the world did Special Ed ever come to be in charge. Oh that’s right Rahm. I guess it was payback because he wants to humiliate us. Destroying us is not enough.
Ed is a total fuck-up from the word go!
Not a single boss thought to order waves of officers to swap out and retrieve riot gear? Tact teams should all have the full suit on hand and avail. Cars were called city wide, conditions were known when they called, why did they not see fit to make it known that gear was needed. We all have a helmet at minimum. Sounds like some gold star clown unnecessarily sacrificed officers safety. Anyone injured due to this should consider legal action.
can’t make this s*** up. The city is lost.
Ed it’s over. The dream you had of leading this department is just that. From my point of view it’s a nightmare. In my career we won’t ever recover. I have 4 years on and I realize I need to keep looking for a better job. Thanks for making it easy to leave Shit-Cago.
;)
Ed reminds me of a car salesman. Rahm has this guy saying anything and trying to sell it to us. Sorry I don’t buy junk!
Say what you want about him but I was involved in a shooting during the gmac regime and that sob called me the next day to ask how I was doing and tell me a story about his dad during a war. As sad as it might sound but I'd rather have him back than special. Btw OT but funny that the academy is going to reinstate the power test requirement to graduate right after fat heads kid graduated. I guess that entire family feels no shame!
Commander Hooprings does not appear to be qualified for anything other than a street clown! She is an embarassment!
Dump Rahm and Ed should be are battle cry! Anyone but Rahm! They turned the public against us.
As the days go by Ed is more messed up. He needs to be relieved of his office.
I will for ever remember what a joke Special Ed was leading the march. How did that work out. Messing over everyone in uniform.
Ed you lost the Department and are no longer leading. Just hang it up and retire why you have a little dignity left. Everybody is wondering what’s going on with upper management. Even the new guys recognize incompetence. Anyone who just started keep your options open with another law enforcement agency. Anyone invested here, just do what you have to do and make it to retirement. The Superintendent is a punk and doesn’t have our backs. He drives the bus and loves driving over Department members.
Special Ed is a prime example of a lack of Leadership and political pandering. He is a fool that is just laughed at.
Welcome to the Rahm and Special Ed shit show. They will be hand spooning you raw shit. By the way they know what’s good for you. Just open wide.
Eddie doesn’t have anyone’s back! He is a stooge!
By now I hope everyone gets it. Just go to your jobs and do what you have to finish your tour. Short term goals is the first and the sixteenth. Long term goals twenty to twenty nine and a day. No one in upper management cares if you make it. They only care about law suites and their next rank. Look out for each other and don’t do anything dumb. No chasing period. Only go to your job. Go home safe.
Here is how the world is perceiving Chicago.

So much for tourists.
As we all learned early on when you try to appease these street thugs it will only get worse. So happy I am retired. So sad to see what has happened to the CPD.
His family and the community be hurtin’. We all need $5 million each to feel better. Give us money, Mayor, or we be votin’ for someone else!
Eddie is over his head.
The word on the street is regardless of the video, the shooting was not justified. At first the community lied and said the offender was unarmed, After the video was released their story is the shooting was unjustified. They are outraged and want to know when will the killings of young black men stop? I heard this, I saw this and I am outraged. Ed should be asking the question when are young black men going to get it? When are you going to stop resisting the police, follow commands not only for police safety but your own safety? How long is being stuck on stupid as a community of people and pandering politicians going last? And to the news media; he was not seen in the video grabbing his waist. He has grabbing a handgun to unholster it along with two magazines also holstered. Whats up with carrying a loaded gun illegally and two extra loads of ammo? How about that Ed? Why can't you ask questions like that?
Thank you Officers for everything you do to protect us from those that would do harm without you. To the officers harmed by the dregs of society get well and please realize there are people who support you and pray for your safety every day. THANK YOU.
My 25 year old, gainfully employed son now understands why I adamantly refused to support him when he wanted to come on this job 3 years ago after college. He actually thanked me for my counsel, advice, and attitude after watching news coverage of this shooting and the Turd Johnson’s response to it. He now sees how a couple of his friends are stuck in the stew of fuck known as CPD. Today, he’s helping me look at a couple of nice retirement/vacation properties in warm, friendly, Red State America that we will soon be able to use without giving a thought to COPA, 79th St., Father Phelcher, or Rahm.
Good luck.
That's Ed;-'s MO. The shit hits the fan and he supports the community first.
That Green activist posted on his fb page about how many times he and Ed spoke the night of this shooting. And how he advised Ed what the "right" thing to do was. Really??
But, that is the same activist that called Ed to demand an officer be stripped a year or so back. And what did Ed do, he stripped the officer and visited the offender. Took Ed 3-4 days before he ever contacted the injured officers.
Johnson said he offered his “sincerest condolences” to the family, but then added he recognizes the incident has been tough on officers and the department is supporting them.
Recalling that he was a black man first and foremost, Sup. Ed "can't get right" Johnson also inquired as to how much taxpayer money would it require to cover the family's fabricated pain and sorrow for the loss of their armed nicotine peddler...
ot -
When the time comes (after COPA cabana is done) everyone should see the video of this incident from the other day. Then they can shut their mouths about offenders running and shooting at the police.
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-met-man-charged-shooting-at-police-st-20180715-story.html
They claim that the gun was photo-cropped like they do in Hollywood.
Retire you dumb prick
The community needs some answers and they need then now, ok here’s some answers, stay in school, don’t have babies you don’t want and can’t afford, get a job, change your mindset. It’s up to you, time to grow up.
Why in the world would anyone do anything more than is required ?! Who cares if someone is walking around with a gun ?! This city is lost and no one cares. The only thing the police should care about is collecting their check and pension and when you get involved in police work with today’s anti police rhetoric you could lose both , pay check and pension and you might lose your freedom. Be smart, put the blinders on and let the politicians deal with what they have help create. Do nothing extra and collect your check. Fuck this city. Fuck Rahm. Fuck the chubby police impersonator (Special Ed). If anyone thinks this job is for real I will reference the Commander on 003 and her awesome attire from Saturday and any Special Ed’s press conferences. Eddie Johnson can barely read the notes they give him. This job is done my friends.
This Mush mouth fuck! What are you apologizing for?!!! Why is this asshole still in charge
Well he had a valid FOID card so in that 'hood he should get a good citizens award. OK well he tried pulling the gun on the Police, but sheet, he didn't want to go to jail.
You see it all makes a certain Logic...This "tragedy" does. And this fucking Eddie Johnson is a disgrace. Thank Christ I don't have to put that uniform on anymore.
And they have the nerve to expect activity.
Great shot officer. It was a clean shooting. Fuck you Eddie Johnson for trying to be diplomatic in a situation that calls for you, as a supposed leader, to support your officers.
The Community will never admit that they are the problem, so the line keeps moving.
Johnson is a trained puppet for Emmanuel.
Johnson never applied for the job, he only got it because Emmanuel knew he could completely control him and the Chicago Police if Johnson became Supt. .
No. Confidence.
Vote of no confidence to Merit Ed
Tragic loss? An armed offender , aggravated battery , resisting arrest , reaching for a firearm . News media said he did have an FOID card , big deal , he would have killed a few police officers if no shot . CCW permit holders must surrender weapon to police when stopped , bot push the police , flee and attempt to draw weapon .
Merit ed , resign .
Special ed did you see commander of 3 at the taste of Chicago . No rules for merit exempts ? Do your job or resign .
Ed is the Jar Jar Binks of CPD.
Your dept is led by people like her?
You gotta be kidding.!! What a disgrace !!!
All I can say is , I am so glad I retired 2 yrs ago.
Did Ed apologize to the suburban kid’s family after he was sent to Northwestern’s ICU with a fractured skull from the May downtown wildings? Did Ed apologize to the family of the CTA rider who lost an eyeball after being punched in her face?
Should not have removed their helmets. That is a safety issue and would have gone nowhere. No court would have ruled against that. Have some balls when you are in the right.
Witnesses always say he had no gun or drugs .
CPD Superintendent should resign , broke the law last Saturday , broke rules and regulations while in uniform .
Ed say we need more gun laws , run for mayor Ed , people are violent , police haters People do not obey laws , that’s the problem .
Police in area because of community concern of violence , community knows crime is out of hand .
Those people will not vote for rahm , rahm base is illegals , patronage ,gang ban gin drug dealers .
Apologize to the family? We're so very sorry your criminal offspring, trying to kill the police and during the commission of a crime was permanently stopped. My bad. We're not mad. Just so very sorry that it was your loss instead of ours.
https://nypost.com/2018/07/15/police-bodycam-footage-shows-gun-on-victim-before-deadly-shooting/
NY POST reports the poor gun offender trying to pull his illegal concealed gun on the cops is now a VICTIM according this his headline. We are officially sick as a nation and the media is pushing everyone over the edge to buy their BS narrative. A criminal thug with a gun and fights and runs away while trying to unholster his gun to kill cops is a VICTIM. This media is like roaches, and the bad ones that are evil and never leave.
Special ed is Merit all the way fuck him and 9.5 fingers the commander is a piece of shit !
Ed Johnson is cuddling up to the offender's family.
NOT supporting his own officers.
Don't you guys have a UNION?
Where the fuck is it?
I can't believe what I am watching on the morning news.
And what that creepy little Nadar Issa is "reporting" in the Sun-Times.
"blah blah blah blah"
next statement of blah blah blahs
coming out soon
The pisser is this guy will make at least 200k pension. Wake up America. Stop voting Democrat. There will be NO POLICE protecting this city because the Democrats do not want it.
SUPERINTENDENT E JOHNSON
You are an embarrassment !! You need to consider resigning !!
You “may” have an opportunity to Supervise the Special Security Association on 79th Street ?
Not sure if they would accept you as their leader since you’re destroying CPD
On your way out, take your friends, girlfriends and your chief of patrol !!!
Time for a LEADER to fix CPD
Mr. Ed, please just go away.
I'm gonna start putting my fingers in my ears, begin humming, rock back and forth to ignore this blithering grabble from our
"leaders".
Did he offer to go and mow their lawn?? About the only thing I can think of...
I would never take that order in a riot!
Let me guess no BATONS either or riot helmets.
If you received an order to put your gun in your car and go man the line would you?
that is why those district are full of officer under 5 years.
If you got really hurt put the number on the BOSS with the shiny clown shoes and the neat 4 foot long hair weave on scene.
Read that racist bitch Mary Mitchells column. She has no clue that an FOID CARD IS NOT A PERMIT TO CARRY. ALSO RETIRED CPD LT. BOB ANGO NBC E IS AT IT AGAIN WITH HIS LETTER TO THE EDITOR IN SCUM TIMES.
Time for a vote of No Confidence. Fat Head Ed has got to be the WORST supe ever in the history of the CPD.
What 7/16/2018 02:19:00 AM said +1.
this guy cares more about shitheads than his own officers.
Did you notice how "unprofessional" looking the 003rd district commander looked at the scene with that "hairdo,hoop earrings,and all the jewelry on her arms? if eddie likes her so much why wasn't she standing behind him at the press conference? SAD....
Just go away Ed. Your way past your expiration date. Which means your turning into mold right in front of everyone eyes. Do the right thing NOW.
She also told the troops that the "citizens" had the right to protest.
===========
This may come as a big surprise to you but citizens do have a right to protest. Even ones who are protesting you.
FOP , PBPA. Take a vote of no confidence already in this stooge they call the Superintendent. His words and non action is creating an unsafe work place to put it mildly. He’s emboldened these street muts and encourages them to act in their uncivil anarchic way. Officers got hurt because of this fool’s catering to the loudest mouths and standing down in the face of lawlessness. Shameful, truly shameful. Ed you are not a leader, never have been, never will be, Take your pension and run far away before more police get hurt because of your decision making.
Everybody is wondering what’s going on with upper management.
The answer is very simple. Every one of the current chiefs were ALL meritorious lieutenants. Yes, EVERY ONE. You wonder why we are so screwed up? All the big decisions are being made by people, yes people not folks, who cannot score high enough on a test to pass on their own. Yet they are all smart enough to run a bureau. And then these clowns submit names for merit bumps of people who are just as incapable as the person submitting. The answer is right there. Problem is the people in charge are too stupid to see the forest for the trees.
The Scum Times, and of course Moprah, has extremely biased, agenda driven coverage today.
Is it just me or does it seem the earth is off its axis??
The FOP needs to push for “community” “reform” because they are so clearly more of a problem than the police ever were or ever could be.
Did anyone spot Ed on the police side of the riots? Or was he on the thugs and rioters side expressing his condolences??
Has Rahm cut the family a check yet?
022 tact Lt. gets rid of a Srg who is a coppers cop and keeps Srg like L who is afraid of his own shadow- just like the rest of this dept - get your yes men in there with no spine!!!!!
Looking at photos and video of the protest it’s hard to miss the presence of RevCom, the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA. The “Habla BA” shirts give them away.
An open letter to Supt. Eddie Johnson.
Dear Supt. Johnson:
Yes, any loss of life is tragic, but he chose his own path and received the consequences of that choice. Perhaps he thought he "was different" and that every outcome of every criminal since the beginning of time, violent death or jail, did not apply to him. What is much more tragic, and something you seem unwilling to address, is how these events and lack of support to those who serve under you affect the good men and women who do their best to keep our city safe. At the very least, and I'm setting the bar low, at the very least they should expect support from the higher ups. You want people to respect the Police, perhaps leading by example and publicly supporting them yourself would go along way toward achieving that goal.
RonS
OT
Who was the captain that cancelled the force mitigation training at near north academy last Sunday? Because of the heat she told everyone to go home. Yet classes are held at near north all summer in the heat without any complaints? The captain could not handle the heat so she closed the kitchen?
It's time to pull out of the black communities. Whether here in Chicago, Baltimore, etc etc. If everyone else but THEM are the problems then let THEM have it. It's not worth it anymore, protect those that deserve and appreciate it. Even when it's plain as day on video, which all of these whiny liberal snowflakes wanted, it's still not good enough. It's still not THEIR fault. Our leadership and our court systems are a joke, and it's only getting worse by the day. It's time to get out, let them call Fr Faker and the other so called leaders of these communities.
Since Eddie feels so sorry for this poor innocent black I'm sure he will donate some of his own money to help pay his funeral. What a stupid stupid jerk to say it's a loss of life. Is he for real. Come on FOP let's get some BALLs do something for once and let's get a march and protest on the Dan Ryan to get rid of Eddie.
"Tragic loss of life" is, in this case, a platitude. What do you expect him to tell Snoop's family, that he was a effing idiot and he was just begging to be shot? He was an idiot and he was begging to be shot as anyone with eyes can see, but you don't say that.
For all his many faults, Ed is in a no-win situation trying to interface between you guys and the community. Any indication of sympathy or understanding he tries to convey to the community is just going to piss you guy off and vice versa.
I play a game in which I try to imagine a world with just one personality type or outlook: imagine what the world would be like if it were populated entirely by people with the kind of cynicism and uncompromising outlooks on display here.
Little OT:
Mary Witch's column would not pass a high school English class.
It reads like she just typed anything that she thought of, no organization, no revision, no structure.
How can she keep her job writing such mumbling.

By now I hope everyone gets it. Just go to your jobs and do what you have to finish your tour. Short term goals is the first and the sixteenth. Long term goals twenty to twenty nine and a day. No one in upper management cares if you make it. They only care about law suites and their next rank. Look out for each other and don’t do anything dumb. No chasing period. Only go to your job.

Smartest post I've seen on this blog in a long time, Well Said! All these hard chargers looking for the next participation trophy ribbon on their chest better wake up and realize that the city and department will throw you under the bus in a heartbeat! No exempt is going to risk losing his/her gold star pension for anyone...
+++++ 'Calling the shooting a “tragic lost of life,” Johnson said “if we expect neighborhoods to cooperate with police, we need to do our part to remain transparent.”' +++++
That is sooooo fucked-up I don't know where to start.
>>>>> 'Johnson ... offered his “sincerest condolences” to the family, but then added he recognizes the incident has been tough on officers and the department is supporting them.' <<<<<
Down is Up, White is Black, and 2+2 equals 5. Special Ed's on f--kin' crack.
I weep when I see what has happened to this once-great city........
I weep when I see what the leadership in this once-great city has become.....
I weep when I remember the courage of the leader in Texas who, after his officers had been ambushed, came out with his statement,
honoring his men and women, and decrying the demonization of officers just trying to serve and protect their communities.....
I weep when I see our "leadership" here apologize to those who are the creators of the murder and mayhem in this city.....
1,473 shot......nearly 300 killed.......but the police are the problem??
Be safe out there, my brothers and sisters in blue, protect each other and go home safely to your families each night......
The officer who is involved in the shooting should get a good lawyer and sue the fuck out of special eddie. This is a death investigation and the next day eddie releases the main evidence, the shooting video. First he goes to the parents of the mutt, then lets the media have it. Again, this department leaves one of its own hanging in the wind for unauthorized people to determine what occurred.
Why apologize to the family of a criminal ?????? If the subject complied with police orders, the subject would be alive. Special Ed is WRONG for apologizing to the family. The police did their job. God Bless the men and women in Blue
safety grievance should be filed against the department by the officers who sustained an injury on duty by these protester's throwing objects at the police....helmet(s) should have been worn its part of our uniform!!!!!

Have to agree with you. Did the same for me and talked about being on Iwo Jima during WW2. Had to laugh when there were an overwhelming majority of posters saying “get rid of the carpetbagger and promote from within the CPD. Surely we must have qualified exempts”. They got their wish
Special Ed is 9.5 bitch yes Sir Boss !
nothing will change until Chicago elects a mayor that is not a pandering fool willing to push any employee under the bus for votes and positive feedback from just about any left wing radical group. It appears that no one with a bully pulpit is on the side of the cops today. Be careful, be fetal and protect one another. Other then that if you do any aggressive police work, look out. It will come back to bite you. I am retired and I pray for the active duty officers constantly. I am glad that I am gone and I don't think I could work in today's environment. Too political, too much patronage and croynism in the department, too much incompetence in its leadership.
I agree with just about all these posts. I’m done.

This is a news program from Iran. Yes, Iran, the shining example of human rights. And, they interview a black radical from Tampa who gives his thoughts on the uncle toms in the police department. Laughable at best
Can you believe this exert from an article in the Tribune today. Are they saying the officer initiated the incident by grabbing his arm? And even tho he was armed COPA would be looking at how the police handled the situation
The footage released Sunday from one officer on the scene shows three other officers approaching Augustus on Saturday night.
One officer appears to take a nonaggressive position, pointing in the direction of Augustus’ holstered gun while apparently talking to him.
One of two officers who came up behind Augustus grabs his wrist. Augustus can be seen pulling away. It is then that a still image appears to show the gun in its holster on his waist. Augustus then runs away, spinning around off balance.
While the video appears to answer one question — that Augustus was armed — the decisions of the officers in how they approached him will no doubt be part of a COPA review that will likely take months. The Police Department also created a force review team that would look for potential policy or training issues to correct as a result of the shooting.
What is Fop going to do nothing that is why I refused to pay dues
A tragic loss of Life?
I'll tell you what a tragic loss of life is. It's when an innocent infant---4/5ths of whom are black---is murdered in its mother's womb, will never feel the sun on its cheeks, or receive a mother's kiss, or feel safe in its father's arms---that's what a tragic loss of life is.
good for the department in getting out in front of this and releasing the footage as quickly as they did. that needs to be the standard approach. if it looks bad, admit it and take the heat. if it is like this one and shows the shooting is clearly self defense it takes the wind out of the sails of the haters.
The only thing delaying does is make everyone suspicious of why the delay and makes a bad situation worse.
The police are no longer the police. In today's world, you have to be crazy to chase, run, or stop anyone . Field contact cards are now a two page report, heaven forgive if you HAVE to use deadly force , law suits everywhere, and the city bows down to the ACLU and all other legal groups. No such thing as the police anymore.
He is taking the Chamberlain approach of appeasement. When Hitler was rising to power in Germany, Neville Chamberlain (British Prime Minister at the time) tried to placate him and appease him and did not strongly condemn or attempt to quell his aggressive behavior. As a power mad sociopath, Hitler of course saw this as weakness and the green light to continue ravaging Europe. If Chamberlain (and the other allies) had confronted Hitler early on, before he held vast swathes of territory, WWII would mostly likely not has taken so many lives or destroyed so much of Europe.
It is no different in Chicago, or in any of the other liberal hellholes. People like Special Ed are just the useful dupes, but the movements they are pandering to are bankrolled by very wealthy people who do not have American's best interests at heart. A free nation of armed, independent thinkers with money in the bank is an existential threat to those who want a one world globalist government where people are powerless to oppose their leaders. These people see capitulation like Ed's as a sign of weakness and a go-ahead to keep pushing their agenda. They need to get aggressive pushback, not kumbaya appeasement. If we continue to give ground, their influence will spread until, like in Europe, we find ourselves in a fight for our very survival.
You don't offer a cookie to a bully, you kick him in the nuts and make him hurt so badly that he never dares mess with you again.
I'm not a PO. Mr. Superintendent, how about supporting your officers who could have been shot by this rat? Tragic loss of life? Not really! It was his own fault. My prayers go out the officers who have a very difficult job. Mr. Superintendent, you don't help matters with this rhetoric. Who wrote it for you?
ed retire let riccio run what is left of the cpd
Calling Amazon calling Amazon calling Amazon.
If only rahmie didn't go to China, he'd know what to do.
CPD is the silent majority, we will have our moment at the ballot box

Say what you want about him but I was involved in a shooting during the gmac regime and that sob called me the next day to ask how I was doing and tell me a story about his dad during a war. As sad as it might sound but I'd rather have him back than special. Btw OT but funny that the academy is going to reinstate the power test requirement to graduate right after fat heads kid graduated. I guess that entire family feels no shame!

If that's true they just opened themselves up to a big lawsuit from everyone who failed the power test!
We should pull a “south Vietnam” on the area.claim victory-pull out-defund and let them settle things among themselves.🤔
Don’t know about you but I’m just so sick n’tied of listening to this buffoon on another Apology Tour.
Understandably, Juggs doesn’t know diddly about police work, but communitay relations, now that’s is his forte.
Just what the Dept needed - another community revrund activist.
Yes, Jugghaid needs to shutty.
Zip it.
Where’s chickenshit weasel Rahm’s commurnity liaison people, you know, the folks listening to all the demands fresh off the illegal DeadRyan March, he instead dispatched the Right for the Right Time™️.
He’s doing nothing.....nothinnnnnnnng for the beat officers.
Two and a half years of pisspoor leadership and installing equally inept Commanders to dance around.
Backstabbing lying buffoon can only rile up the masses, because when Phflucker calls, he’s marching.
Protest and riot first, then axe questions and if you don’t like the answers, protest and riot.
Get on board - let the ghetto be as the community wants it...lawless.
Sounds like Special Ed likes criminals more than he likes the police. Just like the nine and a half digit midget and Cabrini Kim.
---Mike the cityworker
I hope they start a Go Fund Me page so I can give a little pocket change !!!
Quit calling for the superintendent to resign. He only does what the Mayor says just like Maccarthy did the same. Don’t be raising the flag anybody but care should be taken.
Dude was way too skinny to carry in a pancake holster. Me, I'm well nourished with plenty of Old Style, and Special Export occasionally. I keep a 380 in my front pocket, and a 45 in the small of my back. Zero footprint. Retired, not in good standing.
At the press conference Ed stated that he didn’t want to comment on whether he thought the shooting was justified because COPA was conducting an investigation and he wouldn’t want to taint that investigation. COPA has nothing to do with him or his position as the head of the CPD. COPA is a completely separate organization that at no point falls under his purview. The fact that he would worry at all about what the assholes at COPA think or do in regards to investigating a glaringly obvious good shooting, and that he would not state whether or not he thought the shooting was justified shows his true colors. Eddie Johnson is a political pawn that has no backbone, and no limit to how far he will go to spread Rahm’s agenda. The FOP, PBPA and the Captains Association need to demonstrate that Ed no longer has the confidence of the men and women of the Department.
The post that made reference to doing your job with the goals of the 1st and 16th wit management not giving a damn about anyone is definitely on point! So true! As one working county corrections this definitely applies to those that work at the zoo.
great work kevin it only took you 72 hours to issue a statement , please fellow officers vote vote this fool out including greg ( im only interested in securing merit promotions for my clout buddies ) bella.
great work officers it could had gone south just like what happened to commander bauer, as for snoop he followed what gangster rapper 50 cents says "get rich or die trying"
as that retired 025 gallows reporter would often say " oh well"
Special Ed needs to definitely step down. The CPD is in big trouble with him in charge. The City and the public are the biggest losers of his failed leadership. I hope we don’t have to wait for a new Mayor to get rid of him. His only solution to all the violence is more gun laws. He has know agenda and the man and women of CPD no longer respect him.
Ed just leave.
Hey SCC...does anyone know why isn't assignment to the SDSC rooms a biddable spot?
"Superintendent". Eddie Fenner,
When you find yourself in a twenty foot hole, why do you keep on digging? Do you really think with a couple more hours of digging that you'll come out safe in Australia?
How's morale, you pandering asshole?
I am so fired up SCC that we need to form a march against current management of CPD. Johnson clearly needs to be removed. The CPD members clearly need a voice. Johnson can not be trusted.

Offender should have just surrendered he would be back out on t h e street today with a new gun!!!
When will the story come out that this same man was arrested July 4th for agg uuw and reckless discharge and yet he’s back on the street with another gun. Cook county states attorney the blood is on your hands for this bullshit that this poor officer now has to endure. Do your fucking job, and maybe this wouldn’t of happened.

But then again I am the goof reading the paper,but i will never pay for it have to see what the enemy is doing by reading!
Soon this paper will be completely gone,begging for subscribers everyday and everyway!
She also told the troops that the "citizens" had the right to protest.

This may come as a big surprise to you but citizens do have a right to protest. Even ones who are protesting you.
7/16/2018 08:51:00 AM
I would point out that your perspective thoroughly nullifies even the most exgregious form of "Disturbing the Peace" as law, but, since there is no peace to be found in the areas where said "protesting" has so far occurred, for now, the point is moot.
However, when said "protesting" disturbs my peace, then these "protesters" will discover the true meaning of having their own not so peaceful peace disturbed.
Ed is a straight up cowered. He can’t do what’s morally right. He only does what Rahm tells him. He is Rahm’s front man. He doesn’t represent the Chicago Police. He represents Mayor Rahm. All hale Rahm.
These guys are power hungry dictators.

Another idiot moore that needs to shut up:
Alderman asks for water-safety changes after 13-year-old's drowning, proposes task force
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-met-girl-drowned-safety-proposals-alderman-20180716-story.html
The girl died it is terrible, but she decided with others to jump in with no lifeguards,moore this moron this is like letting your kids out and they violate curfew and they get kilt, where are the parents? Parenting is a foreign concept even to the illegals!
What do your regs and your orders say about helmets in this situation ? If "the book" says to wear 'em --- and you were ordered to stow them ---- file that Workers Comp claim and milk it for every friggin' cent you can get out of them. Then get a good lawyer who will file a malfeasance of duty suit against the white shirt that put you in danger.
Its time for a Vote of No Confidence complete with no common sense, no idea of what a Police Officers job is, and no balls. It's like having Al Sharpton for a Superintendent.
Ed, you are really making this dept look like a bunch of pussies. The footage clearly is in favor of the officer, and yet you grovel at the knees of this thug’s family? And what in god’s name was that commander wearing?! Capri Sweat pants? All you clowns still doing proactive police work really need to check yourselves. This dept doesn’t give a rat’s ass about you. Get your checks and call it a day.
This department became a joke all over the world and is ran by incompetent bosses. We look like a 3rd world country. What to go Chicago welcome to the world stage.
With the chain of events happening with the city and CPD I made the decision with the family that im out. This job is not worth it, this department is a joke and the city is simply hell to live in.
I gave CPD 8 years that ill never get back. Time to go
Why stop anyone? Lucky things went well but most of the time they don't.
Special Ed needs to go.
Long and short of it? Great shooting on a moving target. Lets get our standards up people! The life you save may be mine.
someone please help me with this. The POS has a gun and runs from the police. tries to take out his weapon and he's shot. WTF is the issue? Please scc find this, today on WGN there was a reveruund who said that its the CPD's fault this guy is dead. He wants to see the other body cams because (yes he said this) "the cpd grabbed him and he was offended by the way cpd grabbed him" WTF is happening to people? When a person is shot by these savages no one is there to protest it. No ghetto lottery for you...
Lightfoot, really! How would she deal with the violence in the city. I would love to ask her. Snowflake city.
Lightfoot called on COPA to investigate not just the shooting, but the unrest that occurred afterward. Much of it took place in and around the Jeffery Plaza on 71st Street.
“With the caveat that video can only provide a snapshot in time from a particular vantage point, there are several images of police interactions with members of the public that are very troubling. The images I saw from a variety of sources raise serious questions about supervision, use of force and equipment, as well as tactics deployed,” Lightfoot said. “The public has a right to understand the circumstances that led to injuries of the public and police at the Jeffery Plaza and adjacent parking lots. It is imperative that both the CPD and COPA address these issues as swiftly as possible in the coming days.”
Eddie , younthe man now . If you can’t tell that’s a good shooting , time to go the old folks home .
A one week rookie could call that one . Thank all libtards for forcing video cameras on CPD .
Do rahm bodyguards wear a camera .
I did not notice that exempt female wearing a camera or gun .
She did have some gaudy jewelry. Colorful fingernails , long dreadlocks . Eddie boy , two sets of rules on CPD ?
Just answer your calls nothing more........
Dump this ass-hole Superintendent!!!!!!!
Straight up clown.
For all his many faults, Ed is in a no-win situation trying to interface between you guys and the community. Any indication of sympathy or understanding he tries to convey to the community is just going to piss you guy off and vice versa.
7/16/2018 10:01:00 AM
I heard specialEd say "a tragic loss of life" when he was talking about the offender, who was the criminal in the incident, but I missed the part when he expressed concern for the officers.
So where's Rahm on all this. He could care less. He's in China trying to make a 1.3 billon deal with the Chinese for them to get a rail car building facility here. So this Presidential administration and the political think tanks in DC have pointed out that China is our biggest trade enemy, why is he dealing with them. Can't any American company build the rail cars? And guess who he took with him, his political donors and supporters. Gee why did they go?
Pfleger is fanning the flames on his Facebook page. Really insulting to members of the CPD.
Superintendent Milktoast.
So when is Mayor Rahm Emanuel going to denounce all the anarchy?
CVS fires 2 Edgewater store employees after white manager calls cops on black customer.
Ridiculous! The two employees did nothing wrong. Please go to the CVS Home Page and in the lower right hand corner there is a feedback button. Click on the button and it will take you to a feedback form. The submittal is anonymous. I submitted an objection to the two employees being fired and explained I would no longer patronize CVS.
Unless forced out, specialEd is not leaving before making the kid a sergeant, then lieutenant and giving a gold star to Mrs. Fenner.
I now completely hate my job. Superintendent is a disgrace.
You mean his kid can’t power test ? Wife can’t pass a test without answers ?
I am MAD as hell at the Superintendent. It’s just a job now. I lost all respect for the job. My eyes are closed.
Now it’s Miller Time! Even after not such a hard day of work ;)
Have the dumb fuck bosses sign a paper stating that they are ordering to to take off safety gear ( helmets, riot gear etc..). The department should have law suits slapped on them in this environment for not taking police action when necessary and putting officers at risk..the thugs think they can do anything. The Superintendent has not supported officers and panders to the criminals before his own officers. What an embarrassment. When will the superintendent do the right thing?
Never forget Phat Phil hugging Rev. Meeks.
GAME OVER! No doubt about it Ed has to go he is no longer an effective leader. He has driven morale to new all time lows. The troops are fed up with his lack of leadership and they no longer approve of his overall running of the department. The war on crime just felt a heavy blow on us. The current Superintendent can’t lead us to victory. Ed it over, if you continue in your current job as Superintendent the public will truly be the ones to suffer. The man and women are no longer happy to police under your leadership. Just retire.
Lt.
Ed I would have more respect for you if you would just walk away.

you sir are spot on...thank you
Fuck Rahm and Fuck Ed! I just reached out to get a political sign to put in my picture window for anyone but Rahm. He and Ed can go fuck themselves.
When Ed goes can he take the mayor with him?
When a skinny man is observed with a large automatic handgun and clip in his waistband and doesn’t have the self restraint or common sense to respond to a Uniformed Chicago Police Officers LEGAL commands and yet the Black Community STILL finds fault it shows just how many rungs down the evolution scale they have have fallen, I’m sorry but if you act like a savage expect to get treated like a savage,
Trust is a huge issue in our profession. I just can’t trust Ed or Rahm to lead our department. Rahm is a snake.
Merit hack supervisor, now a puppet for politicians to calm the democrats.
Mary Mitchell at it again. Fuck you Mary, you Police the South and West sides and show us how to disarm, an armed assailant, reaching for a gun, without shooting the assailant!

Siiiiigh.... i need to find a new barber
One poster said Ed has no back born. Your to-to nice. Ed is not fit to address a group of squirrels that live in my front tree. This man is beyond any negative adjectives. He has to have some agenda that he hangs around to continuing making an ass out of himself. Maybe he ex, the one that was not a cheater, has a hold on his pension. get a no show job
Quite sure, like dumbass Hillard(2nd. Worse), Ed' will get a piece of somebody' action in a position.
Not a single boss thought to order waves of officers to swap out and retrieve riot gear? Tact teams should all have the full suit on hand and avail. Cars were called city wide, conditions were known when they called, why did they not see fit to make it known that gear was needed. We all have a helmet at minimum. Sounds like some gold star clown unnecessarily sacrificed officers safety. Anyone injured due to this should consider legal action.

There was a "boss" on scene. She handled it the way her years of experience as a street cop taught her. Clueless. All these working cops in CPD, and this is what they promote.
Time to. Boycott CVS
OT: The last protest made international news. My relative lives in Denmark and it was a little blurb on their nightly news.
Time for a bout of blue flu?
Mrs Kidney Bean been really quiet since she filed her discrimination lawsuit
I hope it bite them in the ass. Also what about those cheaters, they stole a promotion SSC?
Any rumors flying around about the cheaters?
Same old shit. I would pay someone to pull a prank on the cheaters and tell them they are being demoted. Can you imagine ?
Where the fuck are people like Patrolman Joe McCarthy and Mayor Jane Bryne. I know. Gone
Rahm goal has always been to destroy CPD and have total control.

Fred?..........
All pawns who sway whatever way the political wind blows and not effective leaders.
Hey Ed, “I WANT MY STARS BACK”.....you should be embarrassed to wear one. I’m still proud of mine, but because I know you and your cheating wife and your clown show exempt crew also wears them......it doesn’t seem like I should be.
If you watch the news, the friends of the person shot are not attending the protests-even made comments that they understand that the police want to go home to their families. The media, reverends, and politicians are pushing this.
I am so fired up SCC that we need to form a march against current management of CPD. Johnson clearly needs to be removed. The CPD members clearly need a voice. Johnson can not be trusted.

How about you and your fellow 5 year wonders on T(VB)ac in 003 start by voluntarily leaving the position. What better way to show unity among the Tac officers then everyone leaving?
Oh yeah, that won't happen. You probably were trying to find ISRs as far away from that shooting as possible to avoid it.
