Cops Denied Voice

Anyone with half-a-brain has stopped proactive police work. This message is to everyone else, so if you know someone who doesn't read the blog semi-regularly, let them know:
  • Stop doing proactive police work or you are going to lose your job, be indicted or go to prison.
  • Promising he will give the Fraternal Order of Police — “and indeed all Chicago police officers” — a chance to be heard, a federal judge Thursday nevertheless denied an attempt by the police union to formally intervene in a lawsuit expected to lead to a consent decree governing reform efforts at CPD.

    In a 25-page ruling, U.S. District Judge Robert Dow said the FOP waited too long to try to intervene in the federal lawsuit brought by Attorney General Lisa Madigan against the city of Chicago, “despite its clear recognition” through public comments that the case could significantly affect policing in Chicago.

    The judge said the state offered to let the FOP enter into a memorandum of agreement — along with a coalition of community groups — giving it the right to raise objections and give input toward the consent decree. But citing state attorneys, the judge said the FOP refused the offer — a decision the FOP doesn’t deny.

    Therefore, Dow said the FOP’s decision to publicly oppose the consent decree but limit its own role in negotiations “appears to have been strategic, and it must live with the consequences of that decision as it relates to this belated attempt to intervene as a party in this lawsuit.”
Parties are added and subtracted from federal proceedings all the time - years after the fact even. The FOP taking its time and assessing all of its options over the course of a few months shouldn't be a big deal. In act, the FOP seems to be the only party actually telling everyone to slow down, take a breath and let cooler heads prevail (kind of like de-escalating if you think about it) instead of rushing around like there's an election around the corner.

Oh wait...

Don't say you weren't warned that the lib-tards involved are going to crucify you the first chance they get.

Sit back, listen to the radio and get the hell outta there at the end of your shift. These political hacks want the city to descend into chaos, then they can have their way. I think what needs to happen is all the police need to take a day off and let the city see what it’s REALLY like without police around. They’ll throw this consent decree in the fire. I only wonder if Lisa Madigan will change her tune if she’s ever the victim of one of these heinous crimes though. My guess is not.

Well, that was to be expected. And honestly not that uncommon. When a corporation does a re org, they don't really consult the employees. Not that it makes it right or a good idea. What the FOP should be advocating is to move away from that Ponzi scheme pension plan and into a defined contribution plan. That will make individuals more responsible about their retirement, BUT it will also make it much easier for cops to move to other department, other jobs, etc. Once you switch that around, you can expect the city to start treating you much better. Why? Because it makes it more important to value your employees since they're no longer stuck waiting for a pension. It works great in other industries.

A now-former Baltimore police officer who was seen in a video repeatedly punching a man on Saturday has been indicted on assault charges, prosecutors said Tuesday.

Baltimore State Attorney General Marilyn Mosby said at a news conference that the accused man, Arthur Williams, was charged with first-and second-degree assault as well as a misconduct in office. She cited the cellphone footage capturing the assault as evidence, but said prosecutors had considered a “great deal” more beyond the video

COPA seems to be actively looking for heads to mount on the pole at the city gates. They, and other liberal activist groups aided by Lisa Madigan ( you know, the state's chief law enforcement officer who could not find a crooked politician hiding under her bed?). Be careful out there and do what your conscious tells you to do, but be prepared to live with the consequences. I am retired and old school to the bone. I don't think I could or would survive today. Hillard, along with Daley, made the police department a political animal with racial politics in the forefront. Rahm has refined that to a new degree. It makes me sad to think of what my beloved police department as become. There always were problems, political influence, crappy buildings and equipment, incompetent leadership, poor pay and benefits, but it all seemed worth it as we did the job and had some fun besides. Not now.

Well Judge Dow, society is going to have to live with the consequences of your decision to rule against giving the police input into any consent decree. I guess you would rather listen to anti-police segments who have no knowledge or experience in policing than listen to those who actually do the job.

This is a phony liberal social justice appeasement, created using false narratives and rigged statistics ( such as 70% of all contact cards were of Afro-American persons.....without mentioning that 80% of the crime was occurring in those areas, so that's where 70% of all officers were assigned????)

I've said this here several times;
Bring your own coffee, pop, lunch in a cooler in your own car,
Take your personals in the station, if isn't clean complain,
Patrol the side streets avoiding the business routes, let them buy their security camera if they choose, but there is little or no business in some districts avoid everything
Limit your traffic stops to what is necessary in the course of an assignment, parkers for handicapped are good activity or maybe the crosswalk or fire hydrant to help out CFD, they'll be the next ones to be railroaded
Assist each other and keep your views to yourself, silence is golden, they can phone film you saying nothing
SHOP outside the COUNTY as much as reasonable, seeing new horizons makes it easier to look at the same old shit
Consider every assignment as an opportunity for some activist to jackpot you and ultimately your family
Think back to think forward, If VanDyk & co had let the PCP head run down the street he would have been run over by some drunk illegal, 2 birds with one stone

“There is no rule or order that forces you to do proactive police work...” @ 8/17/2018 03:45:00 AM

– Since the half brain issue was brought up, can anyone verifying rumor that district Sgts. are riding on jobs and ordering which folks need to be arrested and a case report alone is not enough ?
Who’s falling for that?

and

“Think it's bad now wait until Kwame becomes Attorney General!” @8/17/2018 03:19:00 AM

– Ericka Harold (R) is no better and another Consent Decree champion, also backs Pension reform.
The AG under Madigan was idle for most of her reign. So I’d expect more of the same from either of these two candidates.
Fear that large fat head Pritzker - he’s going to be the one to tax our pension as well as spend big to change the State Constitution to cut the annuities probably in half. He’s doing it all for the sake of Sanctuary City.

While I believe the point of no return has been lost, I really feel bad towards those who have invested 10 plus years on the belief there is a pension at the end. Those not making a bug out plan will be stuck. Those with 10 years or less should be circulating their resume's will the realization staying will put you, your family and your financial future in jeopardy. There are so many other places who will welcome dedicated LE. My hat is off with much respect to those who believe staying will result in a bright future.

8/17/2018 01:48:00 AM

Jeff Sessions pimped Trump. He took the job knowing he was going to recuse himself from the Russia probe. Sessions was a senator, so he is part of the swamp.

If Sessions gave a F he would have the US attorney probe Lisa and Rahm’s office’s for any kind of wrong doing. You can’t tell me they wouldn’t find something, anything, regarding sanctuary city/state.

soooo, the police union is denied a voice, but a terrorist group is given a voice

8/17/2018 08:04:00 AM

Exactly.

Why ANYONE from any of our Unions (FOP/PBPA...) would even think of sitting at the table for discussions when a terrorist group that advocated the murdering of Police Officers like black lies matter is beyond me.

HOWEVER, FOP better have a "Plan B", and it better be good.

So let me get this right, our FOP Union had a chance to sit in on the Consent Decree but chose not to. It is time to get rid of the FOP and every board member on it. Secondly time for a Blue flu, maybe the weekend of Labor Day everyone call in sick on that Friday and come back to work on Tuesday you know can't clear from medical on the weekend and Monday is a holiday.

They have already written the damn thing why do you think you can contribute now? FOP stands for Fools On Parade. They do not have your best interests at heart. Wake up and decertify, do not let them barging for you any longer. Suggest you start with a vote of no confidence in the FOP leadership and a recall of all officers in the FOP. Your dues are being stolen.

Shut up fool....Decertify now with a consent decree in the midst. Yeah, throw away all our protections and let everything we already have go out the door. Think before you write.

The judge was a law partner of Lori Lightfoot at Mayer brown. What did you expect? Rahm and all democrats must be indicted and jailed.

The FOP must appeal this ruling in the US Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit

8/17/2018 07:03:00 AM

Appeal all the way to the Supreme Court!

Well, that was to be expected. And honestly not that uncommon. When a corporation does a re org, they don't really consult the employees. Not that it makes it right or a good idea. What the FOP should be advocating is to move away from that Ponzi scheme pension plan and into a defined contribution plan. That will make individuals more responsible about their retirement, BUT it will also make it much easier for cops to move to other department, other jobs, etc. Once you switch that around, you can expect the city to start treating you much better. Why? Because it makes it more important to value your employees since they're no longer stuck waiting for a pension. It works great in other industries.

8/17/2018 06:07:00 AM

You will never be able to retire with a 401scam a couple hundred grand is not enough to retire on trust me you will be broke in 10yrs or less. FOP should be working on getting us back in Social Security!

So the policeman’s opinion doesn’t matter but the terrorist organization blm get to weigh in heavily on this? Got it. I’ve never been proactive, but be prepared to see the depths of dogassery like you’ve never seen before. And all you asshole cops still doing proactive police work, ISR’s and other such nonsense, get a damn hobby. You are making us all look bad and you are fueling the liberal agenda by giving them proactive police work while they spit in your face

How about this. We create a civilian agency made up of members of "the community", whose job is to handle the civil disorder problems, drinking on the public way, loud parties, gang loitering (is that even a thing anymore?), selling loosies, and whatever "the community" deems to be the problem-of-the-week.

Should an arrest be necessary, these civilians summon police and sign the complaints.

Maybe someone can expand on this idea.

I agree with the other post in that the "consent decree" is breach of contract. This is a lockout because the city never exhausted its negotiations with the union. We cannot strike therefore this should be overturned.

I also agree with you. It has been a joke for decades and should be decertified. Send your letters to the union that you are jumping ship and keep you $600 plus a year.

The mayor doesn’t give a rats ass about making it easier for you to move to another department or job with your pension. He definitely doesn’t value his employees. You are lucky he allows you to work for the city. They trained you so you owe them. If you don’t like it take you contribution, leave, and start over.

I may be wrong as I'm not a labor attorney but don't collective bargaining rights outweigh a consent decree? Maybe FOP wants their input at the bargaining table instead of in the community rooms. If they agree to something, then it can't be bargained for.

This is on Keven graham. Several of the board members wanted to get involved but Graham did not want to do it. Several of the FOP Attorneys told Graham not to get involved and because of this Graham said no and that did it. The Old guard in the FOP also did not want to get involved also. From what I was told thee WERE SEVERAL HEATED ARGUMENTS regarding this issue, but the board went along with Graham. There is a problem with this current FOP administration and it is Graham and the left overs from Dean Angelo's regime. Two maybe three current elected officials want to get militant but are voted down all the time. We all know who the two/three officials are. What is a shame is that Graham is doing everything to box them out.

Seems to me like the Cops do have a voice, and they are speaking loud and clear for all to hear. They are in a defensive posture all over the whole country to different degrees. The intensity depends on the scumbag political bosses of the jurisdiction. This is not going to change.

Maybe someone should ask the eater Graham and the drunk Murray what happened at all of their private, off hours meetings with Lisa madigam at the next general meeting. Maybe they alreadt made their deals. Maybe we are all paying for it. What does Donahue say about this? Maybe he is part of it all, after the eater never does anything without talking to big head Donahue first.

“Think it's bad now wait until Kwame becomes Attorney General!” @8/17/2018 03:19:00 AM

– Ericka Harold (R) is no better and another Consent Decree champion, also backs Pension reform.

Fear that large fat head Pritzker - he’s going to be the one to tax our pension as well as spend big to change the State Constitution to cut the annuities probably in half.

8/17/2018 09:54:00 AM

Kwame doesn't give a damn about the black community. He wants to cozy up to big corporations so they'll fund his run for president.
He thinks being a black guy with an unusual name from the party that spawned Barack makes him a presidential shoo-in
Kwame does'nt have the moral fiber or temperament to be an attorney general. He challenged that big mouth WVON radio host Maze Jackson to a fight while on air a few months ago.
Erika Harold is least worst out the bunch. I think the republicans could reign her in when she goes crazy with her proposed policies
And the post on big head pritzker is absolutely on point. He's corrupt; will continue Madigan's reign and control of the state, and will also whack your pensions and increase your personal income tax.
Illinois is dying now, and will be dead under Kwame Raoul, JB Pritzker, and Rahm Emanuel, who is Pritzker's close buddy.

You had me there until you tossed in the guns in offenders mouth bullshit.
Gee. You must have some super secret investigative knowledge or info that three ex states attorneys, four judges, a federal magistrate, at least six corporation counsel attorneys, two investigators, dozens of cops, three forensic specialists, six top notch private attorneys and dozens of other people that attended the court proceedings and or read the transcripts lack,or don’t know about.
If you were as smart as you’d like to think, you’d know that that was a railroad job, and the only ones that broke the law were the media, ipra, and the states attorneys staff and their witnesses that put on that sham case. The only abused guy was the guy charged.
We know you want that gold star , Lt MB or MS. Too bad. Covering up the cheating lieutenants scandal or sucking up to EX Chief JR isn’t going to help either of you get one.
