Going to Need More Popcorn
And the "not guilty" plea by the skinny Johnson provoked a huge outpouring of stories, rumors, and allegations. We heard of some, knew of others. But this promises to be an interesting comment section:
- More than 2 sources which I’d trust with my first born have confirmed: every merit pick with KJ’s John Handcock on it will be whistled-in shortly to the Grand Jury. Seems there were going rates for sergeant and detective promotions.
There’s also been a link discovered between KJ and the stud from 005 who was scamming all the coppers’ tax returns. Word on the skreet is that dude gave up KJ and several other Bossholes and that’s what got KJ on their radar.
- Rumor is that he is not falling on the sword for his brother who knew (and benefitted) from the 24 years of cashed checks. Watch for KJ to be moved to a “less sensitive” Deputy spot and Saldana from 014 to get his spot. 14 will go to Ozzy Valdez
- stay tuned. gonna get real juicy. there were price tags he would put on merit promos. some people left deposits only to find out someone else got the nod. selling spots to multiple people. i got you next class gets old quick and people that were promised and paid for spots that didnt get them tend to get pissed off and start talking to authorities outside CPD. which is why the feebs got involved. grand jury convening and theres gonna be alot of puckered assholes. deals being made to return to previous rank not get fired and or jail time and keep pension if they testify against kenny j.
We can only hope a fraction of this is true. It would make the Department 100% better.

VERY interesting, if true.
KJ sounds like "Bubblehead #2.
Just goes to show you that only the dumbest morons are promoted to supervisors in CPD. It starts with LIE-TENANTS and works its way up the ladder. I have yet to meet any white shirt above SGT who could make a decision without consulting some other Boss-hole.
Time to drain the Chicago swamp.

These feebs are way over their heads these paid for merited guys are far superior in brain power and know how to keep their collective mud...
Just when FS thought he was out....
They PUUUUUUULLLED him back in!
If true, which most of it probably is, a few will go down, a few "more important" people will resign or retire before anything bad happens to them, and most will keep their spots and their jobs with no repercussions. Reminds me of the lieutenant test cheating scandal. Maybe having the feds involved will make it a bit more legit, but not much will actually change.
This scandal has the potential to bring down the entire department. With the Feds involved this might actually change how this joke of a dept is run. The FOP should try to get the consent decree delayed and re written so that the brass is involved in some of this “Accountability” they just love to talk about. This is a chance to actually set some rules down about merit picks and what qualifies one to be considered especially if that rumor is true that payments were made. Everyone who didn’t get promoted who was actually passed up by a merit selection should organize a class action lawsuit and bring this department to its knees.
Is this idiot also going to be guilty of tax evasion as well? One has to pay taxes on their income including SS, was this idiot filing false tax returns as well and getting tax money back from money he was stealing? How does the department expect to build those bridges and earn the community’s trust when our “Leaders” are stealing money and selling promotions?! Sounds like they are the ones that need all the reforms and oversight. ☠️
YES... This is why the department is giving new exams now.
SCC and his staff should be embarrassed of themselves. This is nothing more then a witch hunt. I've been promoted meritoriously 4 times if you count Captain and I've never once paid anyone off. I was promoted to detective and then Sgt thanks to my crooked Bridgeport connections with a shady judge. After that I conned Eric Washington into making me a Lt. He didn't care a fig newton about why I got dropped kicked out of the Detective division. Once I made Lieutenant I sucked up to Leo Schmitz so grandly in 007 that alternative lifestyle poster child Melissa Staples was forced to put me in for Captain meritoriously. Once you make Captain meritoriously kids the sky is the limit since you can't test for that position. As a Captain I was protected by the Commander of 019/23 that knew I was too stupid to handle anything by myself so he let me do nothing while cash flowed into my bank account. My ship really came in after McCarthy was launched and I took advantage of the chaos to get myself jack-potted promoted to a Commander position. I never paid anyone off and I have never been a member of the Communist party so you can eat them apples while my CAPS Sgt picks up my son (understudy) from school on the tax payer's dime. Fuck the Inspector General!!!!
Now if one of the Johnson boys would trick on the Lt's (Noble) test scam, that would put a nice bow on all this.
Everyone on this job knows “merit promotions” have always been the cancer and weakness of the department. People will sell their souls for a merit sport. Many will change their behavior and personalities for it. It’s instant wealth with all kinds of perks. It is corrupt and there’s not a doubt in my mind people have paid $$$ and still are paying for promotions. It would be nice if this KJ guy would start flipping on everyone else. I’m sure he knows all kinds of stuff. Chicago needs to be cleaned out and renamed.
Not shocked in the least. Been hearing about this "Rumor" since coming on the job. The kicker is that it has to go even deeper, since the nominated merit picks must clear the merit board. This could be very interesting indeed. Would be nice if it led to a change in the promotional process, but I won't hold my breath.
For some reason this story needs to be read like Bobby Boucher from The Water Boy movie. It just makes be me smile inside.
17 years in Afganistan to ensure the freedom of
"GOING RATES" for sergeant and detective promotions
in Chicago going through Kenny Johnson!
This is the cherry on top of the Social Security check
business.
KJ, with going rates you steal from Chicago and Cook Co.
With S.S., you steal from your country and every taxpayer.
Your greed knew no bounds.
Go visit Arlington while the grass is still green.
Adding on: this type of activity explains why 007 and 011 christmas parties where held together under one roof
And hand picked by both brothers. A nice “kickback” to them both.
Nevermind that 011 on a certain year had a signed contract with the merchandise mart holiday inn to hold the xmas event.They were
“Hell bent” on having both parties under one roof.
skinny Johnson gonna get way more skinny
SCC has the best reporting. There ain't no more

Wow, just wow, hopefully if true this will take down the merit bullshit.
police work just wasn't enough for him, but the only way
he could steal/shakedown that much money was to BE a cop
Including bowl cut boy admin Sgt. Next class right???
When I was a kid a man in the outfit told me something that Ill never forget because it holds true. He said "Don't ever fuck with the G they'll get ya." These state and city politicians and clouted think they can get away with bs. Once the straight arrowed agents come in they get blood.
Secondly, I can't wait to see who KJ flips on. Ed, LT test scandal and who knows what else.
a squirrel ain't nothin' but a rat with a fur coat
“We can only hope a fraction of this is true. It would make the Department 100% better”.
If even only half of the swirling rumors are true, KJ makes Bubblehead look like a fucking piker.
And although I completely trust my 35th Street sources (as they’ve been dead nuts with every other morsel of gossip), one must keep in mind that this is the CPD. Where clout ultimately rules the day. Where if your whack is big enough grand juries can be indefinitely suspended, witnesses convinced to reconsider and the passage of endless time allowed to help people forget.
So don’t hold your breath. If things work out in typical CPD fashion, this will be quietly fade away. And then 3 years from now there’ll be a single paragragh blurb on page 23 of the Scum-Times that reads: “A former CPD commander was sentenced to 2 years probation and forced to pay back over a quarter million dollars accidentally deposited into a joint bank account shared with his deceased mother”.
Time will tell.

If all this is true about pay to play then its the type of critical mass that can change the merit system process.
Man O Man, i woke up out my sleep to read the mere fact that Fat KJ ( Kevin Johnson) May be involved in the check cashing extravaganza.
This is music up my ears because he’s a snake in a half. I told you some time ago not to trust him and now everything is coming to the light.
I’m going to start popping my popcorn now because the end result is going to be interesting. Mutha fucking double merit promotions my Ass. Kenny if you are listening, i got money on your books if you take that lying ass fat KJ down with you.
Kevin pay attention, your career is unfolding. All that greed is finally working. Kevin pleas out and expose the cheaters on the lieutenants exam.
To be Continued
That explains how that one female from 211 made sgt. She is now in 002 shocked the heck outta me definitely not the brightest...
That's been going on for years ~ just ask some of the old-timers like Matt Rodriquez and the dinosaurs from his era....
Demoted to last rank is BS all that does is put crooked ops back on the street. Just fire all the KJ and his brothers merit picks. In fact fire all merit pics and be done with it.
Deals to return to old rank hmmm isn't that completely unethical and atated somewhere in our ethics testing that you can't accept or "gift" anyone, especially of higher rank more than a certain dollar amount yearly
Why would any meritorious admit to having had to “come in taller, leave shorter” to get their promotion ? The only ones, as mentioned before, would be the ones promised and not received that might sing to a GJ, and that is highly unlikely. I don’t see the SA’s office spending the resources on this but I hope I’m wrong. This department needs an enema.
if it sounds too good to be true...
While the Feds are looking at how promotions might have been sold they might also look to see how Ferguson looked for but "could not find" any cheating on promotion exams. Might be the sunshine we need to get us thru the gloom of winter.
If he has been indicted, then why would he be moved to a "less sensitive" position?
Why hasn't he been suspended and sent home?
There may be a lot of rumors but nothing is going to happen and it will quietly go away with him retiring.
The media is already moved on
and... where are the protests, the family, the media of the 16 year old shot and killed by the clouted sgt?
I know, lets show the McDonald video some more
They played that game for years cost ! $5,000 .00 who is going to Rat them out Special Ed paid for Merit promotions Burke Madigan All do it
It's called CASH 💰 or ASS end Merit Vote Republican
Makes me sick to think about it.
Greed and corruption in the “merit” promotions; who would of thought.
"Ubi est mea" ("Where's mine?")
Saldana can barely find his way to 14 every day, he ain’t getting the academy. And Ozzie? Oh boy, what an airhead.
What did he do with the money, did he go to the casinos? Racetrack? Million dollar house.
Nothing surprises me anymore. Actually, things stopped surprising me a long time ago.
Selling spots and giving them to someone else? This guy ever work at Burr Oak Cemetery?
Why would you let someone who was crooked and paid for their rank return to duty after testifying? Make a deal no jail time and fire them and take their pension but to return them to work is nuts. That's like no penalty at all. What honest cop would want to work with someone like that? It will do the dept. more harm if they get any kind of job back with the dept.
If there were prices on merit selections, this will come down to someone who didn't get picked. They will Need Someone to talk. Because the selectees will be tight lipped as usual, because "the first rule about Merit Club is...No one talks about Merit Club" That's why this situation has been allowed to fester for so many years. I would love to see about 200 or so merit hacks get demoted. This would be a black stain on their record and they likely would never get hand picked again. And everyone would know who they were. Imagine these hacks actually having to study for a promotion...
If true, this will be headlines for a while, and may be another reason Rahm is leaving quietly. This turkey is going up the river and may want to talk. The one who paid him monies are actually guilty of bribing a public official, and may not be so inclined to talk.
This will be like peeling an onion, the more layers you peel back, the more it stinks...
Let the Puckering begin...
This is so awesome. We all know that shit has been going on for years, but I would love to watch it finally unfold in every news outlet in this shithole of a state.
Yet he has the audacity to plead not guilty. Is he preparing the jesse junior bi-polar defense which makes him the mentally ill victim in all of this. It worked for baby jesse, he only got a year in the shithouse and now receives an enhanced pension because of his alleged mental instability.
Did Diamond Dave leave a deposit for a meritorious Lt. spot?
Let's look into all the merit picks that Alderscum Burke is behind.
But what is the connection between the KJ and Eddie Burke Fed investigations? Is there a link?
Fantastic. They get what they deserve. Time to get rid of the merit system. It's proven time and time again to be taken advantage of and extremely flawed. Those who are corrupt and caught cheating should absolutely lose their pensions, pay fines and serve prison time. How many officers have been shortchanged because of this corrupt method of promotion.
The only ranks you can be demoted from are Detective, Captain and Exempt.
Hopefully they go after the crooked and corrupt council members next!
Everybody forgets, that in quid pro quo deals like this, both sides are guilty. There's no, "he took the money, i'm fine".
If you were greedy, crooked and dumb enough to bribe a commander for a merit promotion then you deserve everything coming your way. A lot of people are going to have a lot of sleepless nights.
OT:
Family of man killed by DEA agent in Chicago says official story doesn't add up
https://trib.in/2BNBQ5P
so this family admits to their now deceased relative leading a Breaking Bad Walter White lifestyle, but suggests DEA agents are lying when they say their relative tried to flee a traffic stop in which the now deceased was carrying cocaine for distribution. The family's reasoning, he wouldn't hurt a fly, he wouldn't flee from police. And they make several excuses about why he was transporting drugs. And how he made sure to let the entire family know of his locations, how much he was carrying etc. Sounds like the idiot family just implicated themselves

So true .... His son is still running around the station unsupervised at times. I actually saw him in the male lock up last week ...by himself!!! This arrogant prick has no fear of anything even with videos and photos taken by the IG he still continues to bring his son to work and has the CAPS office babysitting him. unbelievable

I beg to differ my friend, too many people involved if all these rumors are even somewhat true money is involved and lots of salty people are going to make a stink and probably end up hiring their own lawyers. Something of this magnitude is too big to be just swept under the rug especially with the feds involved..... just my opinion
Merit is never going away. Some people actually deserve it. Going forward there should be a criteria in attaining it. A point system if you will, and at least 15 years on the job.
I wonder why Lisa "the skank's" federal oversight plan didn't include all of this promotional crime being eliminated? Daddy said no, you have to keep the Democratic Party going. Was this tied in with the Ed Burke investigation? How many aldermen can they get? Stay tuned this maybe bigger than "operation greylord". This promotional scam may be named "operation overlord".

I’m betting this will bring down the a lot more folks, including the Lie-tenant cheaters. How much did Williams make for giving out the test and test answers to a select few from the Noble organization????

Woodward wasn’t a real journalist, he was military intelligence, deep state. He didn’t investigate anything. But I agree, there aren’t any real journalists anymore. Only social justice warriors furthering the left’s agenda.
Historically, few CPD scandals involve White Shirts. In the 70's we had the Cmdr Thanasouras and a few of Lieutenants and Sergeants. In the 90's we had Sgts. Patterson and Hicks at Public Housing. In between there were Blue Shirt scandals, Miedgenowski, Pac Man, Miller, the Marquette 10, etc. However, those scandals are nothing compared to what an exposure of the outright selling of rank, which has been hinted for years. This goes beyond Nepotism and Cronyism; this is a definable CRIME, which hopefully will result in prison time. In addition, it could also result in lawsuits involving everything from arrests supervised by Illegitimate supervisors, and discipline issued by them. Would they be stripped of their rank and pensions? The ramifications of this go beyond any other scandal in our history, and the effects are difficult to even comprehend. And realizing the scope and magnitude of this damage; would the federal government dare to open this pandora's box? Pop corn is appropriate as this drama unfolds. Stay Safe & Strong. Baby "G"
Ok Mike Nolan -- SCC did the hard work, here is your chance to do real some reporting. hahahaha!
Looks like green and Paterson won't make the grand jury they got another good job at metro. Really metro you couldn't do better then cpd' s cheaters & merit bosses! Wtf

Time to get rid of merit promotions. There is no honest way to do them. Best to dump the whole process.
He thought it was okay because all the politicians do it. The Chicago way.
Burke’s offices being raided last week is rumored to be heavily involved in this. That asshole has prob given the nod for more “merit” promos than every other Bosshole combined from the last 20 years. Surely there was graft involved in there somewhere. Good reporting SCC, hope the info from your men on the street is good. I’d love to see the whole crooked system dumped on its head.
Ozzie is an idiot.. feel bad for 014th Dist.
This could play out like the wagon crews taking money from undertakers to deliver the body.
The Feds just investigated one district and misdemeanor pleas were cut so no one got fired.
If the Feds pushed it every wagon crew in the city would of gone to jail. Like 500 cops or more.

Sadly, you're probable right, but I'm still hoping to watch a shit-show, et al., go down.
Slumtimes won’t be around in 3 years
I’m assuming they gave this goof cash for their merit promotion. What’s a grand jury going to get out of them? It will be their word against his.
Ever wonder why the feds don't try that hard around Chicago?

Robert Mueller to be assigned as a special counsel to investigate promotional collusion within CPD. Five top-notch public corruption squads of special agents to be reassigned from the many Hillary Rodham Clinton criminal scandals to investigate CPD. There is evidence of foreign interference in promotional selections. Along with evidence of money laundering and promotional finance contributions within the deep state of CPD.
Any impropriety will likely be a Task Force on 21st Century Policing excusable defense.
Flush the crooked system.
FOP should now be negotiating for Zero Merit until matters are fully resolved.
Hey, the City wants reform don’t they?
The City should be ordered to revoke all Merits and return them back to the understaffed District Patrol Division (and back pay the FOP dues too) until a concrete merit standard can be written and established.

Perhaps being returned to highest rank earned by test score, and seniority being adjusted downward to only reflect time in earned ranks would be more appropriate. All the LIEtenants would still have period 2 furloughs

Any efforts to minimize or "clean" up this mess will result in a shit storm of epic proportions.
Google "stealing social security benefits"
Just about everyone convicted for variations of that scam received significant fines and prison time.
If Johnson beats the case, or gets a quiet conviction with a fine, probation and slap on the wrist, I'm sure lots of folks convicted for the same offense will deluge the court with motion to vacate, new trial requests, claims of prosecutorial misconduct, favoritism.
Especially the NYPD cop and his wife who just got charged with a similar scam back in September.

Somebody brought this up on the thread regarding his plea deal a day or so ago.
My initial thought is both of the brothers were at least lieutenants at the time of the last exam, so they may not be involved in the Noble/Chief Eugene Williams/Chicago Police Lieutenant cheating scandal...
but...
I'm also told that other NOBLE members ( along with the brothers Johnson) had copies of the exam, which they were reselling to non NOBLE members for as much as $3,600.00
Two of the purchasers scored extremely high on the exam and were in the first and second classes. At least one is exempt.
Makes you wonder what else was going in Human resources/personnel when Eugene Williams was chief, Tracey Ladner the HR Director,and Kenneth Johnson his sergeant

Thank God if anything gets Saldana out of 14. He keeps threatening to retire but never makes good. What a pompous ass. He doesn't deserve shit but it would make everyone but his few suckholes very happy.

Time to get rid of merit promotions. There is no honest way to do them. Best to dump the whole process.
12/03/2018 09:57:00 AM
Agreed. Best way to better the CPD is to have people earn their promotions through brain power. Sometimes the easiest solution is the right solution. I understand there are heroic acts from officers who deserve additional perks for their bravery and skill of policing but remember this is what you signed up to be. It is part of the job. Policing is a thankless job so if you don't like it then get another job. With that being said, it is reasonable to allow one of those heroic officers to be taken care of in other ways. For example, transferring to a better unit/district, switching watches, be given free days off or any other incentives that'll show appreciation for their hard-earned efforts. None of this "given" bullshit because it's "not fair" because of gender and/or race. There are many perks that can be granted to officers but it certainly doesn't have to be a promotion. Do this the right way and morale will improve dramatically. CPD could get back on track and be a reputable and respectable police department like it once was.
So a serial killer is arrested on the West Side even though the department stated that no serial killer was at work. So where is the truth.
I feel sorry for 14 if they get Ozzie he is a self promoting goof and the worst part is he really believed he deserves it. Him and that goof McNoughton who was asked to leave quietly.
It will take the Feds to act the CPD will never change on it's own.
Word is Diamond Dave got the unlimited OT in exchange for keeping quiet
I've been hearing that Saldana has been going to retire for over a year now. I don't work in 014 or even know the guy but it's getting annoying how people keep talking about him retiring or getting lateraled
Bullshit, when race becomes a major factor in any scandal it gets swept under the rug. Will never happen.

In Chicago a honest politician is someone who when bought, stays bought!
Or, as Mike Royko said when Larry The Reformer Bloom was caught on tape taking bribes... "Chicago, a city so corrupt even the reformers are on the take."
What we need are people of integrity, people our children can look up to. People of color who were awarded a Rhodes Scholarship for example. People like Mel Reynolds who once said, again on tape, “Did I win the Lotto !!!???” when his 16 year old mistress said "she knew a 15 year old Catholic School Girl who might be interested in a threesome."
Can you imagine an FBI agent hearing that for the first time.... if he/she were "smart," they would have sold tickets for the first run. At $10 per tickets their Great Great Grandchildren would be set for life and the Bureau itself would not have to ask the taxpayers for a single dime until about 2142. But that was then, nowadays they'd blame Trump because his daughter was 15 years old once.
Feds didn't try that hard around Boston either
Mueller was SAIC here in Chicago. Nobody got indicted. He’s not an investigator. He’s just an agministrative hack.
When I see it I will believe it. I have heard this rumors before about massive federal investigations of the CPD and nothing has ever come of them, from deputy chiefs and commanders selling drugs on the West Side, to payoffs for promotions and recently fixing the lieutenants exam to promote the superintendents wife and the wife of the First Deputy among others. I also have heard in the past of at least one person who made merit lieutenant by sleeping with deputy superintendents. The merit system, placed in the hands of the corrupt democratic party of Cook County just opened the door for more corruption.

This Merit crap is another reason for the crap morale of the working police officer. Guys who thin kif they make arrests, write tickets, parkers, anov’s, curfews, isr’s ect think if they over perform they have a shot at a merit spot. Dummies all of them. No commander is gonna take his working mule and put them in for a promotion. It would be like shooting themself in the foot with compstat and the index numbers they need to generate to keep their undeserved spot and lessen the chance of the next fake mive they want to make for themselves. They only promote for themselves even if its just who they are told to put in for the merit spot. So they have a favor owed to them. Kinda like how Eddie Burke calls Marv Sheer to put in a. Alderscums son inlaw who he has never met and couldnt pick out of a 1 person line up. But miracle of miracles he is now a sgt. Great guy the sgt not a bad cop either. But thats the merit process. He got because of who he married not for being a good cop. Another guy was promoted because he was an A-hole to detective from OCD. Since they couldnt dump him for being lazy and an ass due to his connections. They got rid of him by promoting him. Yeah thats gonna help the clearance rate! We are so screwed with the merit process that has ruined the department with the poor leadership it has produced and continous to elevate to the highest levels. We have a super that didnt even apply for the damn job. And now the test itself is corrupted even worse the the past. Cant wait for all the cheating lie ten ants to move up. Alot already have too
Something every law enforcement officer should as his favorite politician.
Why does the CPD have merit appointments from being appointed on the job through multiple promotions and other professions don’t. Do doctors, lawyers, CPAs, airline pilots, nurses, FBI agents have merit appointments like CPD. Why are they legal and allegedly good for us and no other professions?
at least he can polish the fenders

I hope they hang Georgas out to dry - He's always been a treacherous, balless little punkass bitch. It's about time that prick gets what's coming to him, even if it is via Schloss.
When The Feds let you know they are charging you, that means they have a guarantee of conviction. All he is doing is bankrupting himself on attorney fees. He will go to the Federal Penitentiary. Better start looking at brochures to see if he can ask the Judge to recommend a future Bureau of Prisons home.
His momma would be so proud of him or them depending on how this all shakes out.
Let us remember Townsend another boss who for years made big bucks promoting incompetent bags of shit for cash.

If only the walls could talk in the Ogden district
Not on the job, and have more respect for the people pushing beat cars than I can express here.
Are either JK still showing up for work? I'll send a package of Jolly Time popcorn to both of them if I get the addresses. Maybe in exchange for their full and complete testimony, they can be housed in the same cell. Keep it all in the family that way. Either peace would reign, or a critical mass of stupid would occur.

Exactly. I don’t know how they can sleep at night, knowing what they are doing. And that also goes for the assholes that take the unearned promotion.
Sgt can't go to old rank? What about the former superintendents driver that was a Sgt for about a week?
We may need wheelbarrows full of popcorn.
Can someone shed light on how Georgas is able to be employed still by CPD as Deputy of Detcahed services and head of security at McCormick Place? Is McCormick/Navy Pier (Mcpier) considered private ??
Little Jimmy Sanchez in 010, guy never passed a promotion test in his life. Great Commander , just ask him. Remember boys and girls, given not earned. Somewhere down the line we as an organization have to promote smart educated people. As Albert Einstein once said " Insanity: doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results". Little Jimmy, thank Fred Waller with that envelope. Sir you are promoted way past your abilities. This guy should be working at a car wash or pushing an elote cart down 26th street. Now go get your shine box Sanchez !!!!!

Those in command management positions are merit themselves so of course they are inept.

Your command of English grammar and spelling mitigates your complaint for not being a merit pick......But by todays standard it probably elevates you making a merit spot.

I didn't say little stevie was "the cause of the issues" just that "He's always been a treacherous, balless little punkass bitch" and it is as true as the sun rising in the east. He's a punk, wouldn't know police work if it bit him in the ass and will throw anyone under the bus to cover his fuckups. I don't need to do any research, I've seen the little bitch in action for years. It's no suprise he dumped a woman who wouldn't be one of his cowtowing sycophants.

12/04/2018 01:37:00 PM
You have to resign your position as a police officer to accept the promotion to sergeant. Did he actually work as a sergeant for a week or just go to training? I'm sure they can work special favors for certain people, or they "realized" he wasn't eligible for the promotion, which meant his acceptance of the promotion and his resignation didn't count. The rules are really flexible for the connected.
Hahaha. Whoever you are, love the Sanchez comment. All merit and dumb as hell. Never heard him put two complete sentences together not to mention his “guys” in GAngs did all his reporting. You still wondering why CPD is a mess.
Was in Sgts school and sent back. Was never sworn in.
100% wrong. He worked in 007 for a couple of weeks as a sergeant. Now back in his old Cush spot as a p.o. no discipline. Should have been fired for what he pulled. They do what they want when they want to. Don’t ever forget that.

OK dumbshit, you don't resign shit. A resignation would require a signature to complete. You do not sign anything remotely close to a resignation in pre-service training for any rank. And we pay you $80K?

That's Sgt. Dumbshit to you. And you don't pay me anything, but I make significantly more than $80K. If they ever get to the bottom of the list, you'll find out what you have to sign to accept a promotion to sergeant. Where did you gain your extensive knowledge of the promotional process? Pulling things straight out of your ass doesn't qualify as knowledge. A resignation would require a signature to complete? Gee, I never had to sign anything before. This signature thing seems pretty complicated. Call your union and ask them if you're right. Call the academy, where they train the promotees. I'm sure someone will have the answer for you. Maybe you could even ask your sergeant.
