What the....!?

Just when you think Camel Rider was as goofy as the exempt ranks could get, someone has to top her:


That's the commander of 020 dressed up as the "Elf on the Shelf," a whimsical invention of the past few years. We aren't going to bore you with the details - you can Google it - but "Wow" doesn't begin to cover what's running through our heads:



Kind of amusing for the community we suppose. This seems kind of awkward though:


All in good fun? Someone had to follow the boss around and boost him up onto places, then photograph him and send it around. Fox Chicago did a piece on it, so somebody was looking for some publicity. Or is this just damn weird?

Dude, I can't stop laughing!!! Yes, it is fucking weird but also hilarious! Those pics remind me of scenes from a movie you would see on Mystery Science Theater 3000 like Santa Clause versus The Martians. I'd pay big money to see the other Commanders do this. You could have retired Commander Bubblehead dressed as a reindeer. The Johnson Twins as Christmas trees. Or maybe 025th district Commander Escamerit dressed up as Frosty the Snowman? Henny Penny would make a damn fine Mrs. Clause. Usually I'd rant about how this department is doomed with stupid shit like this but I gotta thank this Commander since I don't remember the last time I laughed so hard out loud.

That pic brought back a fond holiday memory.

Two of "Santa's Little Helpers" rolling around
in the 'jets during a rare quiet time around 4am
on a Christmas Morning in the early 1990's while
wearing Santa hats and fake beards while playing
Christmas Carols on the P.A.

"You two are kinda big for elves aren't ya?"

Delivering 12' and around a quarter ton
of leather jacketed, steel-toed, .45 caliber
comfort and joy via a Chevy 350 powered sled.

"Merry Christmas and get off this corner...
We don't feel like being bothered with you
all tonight."

No profiling.
No harassment.

We called it "Work-flow management."

You could truthfully say, "bullshit mitigation."

No asses out = No asses getting shot.

Christmas Quiet = Making up for it on NYE...

What a fucking joke.

Unless he’s visiting grammar schools or childrens hospitals to spread holiday cheer during the Christmas season (no, the seniors luncheon doesn’t count), there’s absolutely no good explanation for a grown man to dress up like that, posing all over the place.

If anything, it further emasculates the Departments image, which is probably the intent behind this charade. Not to mention it makes him look like a ball less buffoon. He may as well dress up as a vagina with a CPD uniform over it.

I never imagined this asshole could outdo himself - sucking GMac’s nuts and taking selfies with him in uniform as a captain was pathetic. But this stunt takes the cake.

Anything it takes to keep a spot you sold your soul for, huh Sean?

You are an Embarrassment to CPD and I want you to resign as commander and, return to your last NON-MERIT rank. Which is probably a PO.

Mere moments after that last photo was taken in the locker room, the evil elf Commander leaped from off of his perch and attacked. Baring devil-like fangs, he bit down into the unsuspecting officer's throat, ripping out his Adams Apple. With blood dripping from his mouth he smiled and said, "Merry Compstat Christmas bitch!" He then ran off into the night to commit more acts of evil. Latest reports coming out of 35th street have him going to Santa's Village in Dundee where he beat a Santa Clause actor to death with a giant, aluminium candy cane. Suburban police chased him off just as he was dumping gasoline all over the park to burn it down. Stay tuned for further developments

In the 70s we had 3 District Commanders in 020 who were tough and didn't take crap from anyone but they would back you up. I will leave their names out. I was at some kind of a citizen's meeting where they were beefing. This Commander gave it right back at them during which time he had a lit cigarette hanging from his lip while addressing them. Another one that I'll describe as having a barrel chest stood up for me when there was a question as to whether an "influential and prominent" citizen should be given traffic tickets. The W/C wanted to let him go but the Commander said charge him and back up the officer. Another Commander came into the station from some special event wearing the long coat. There was some irate guy screaming at the desk officers. This Commander came up behind him, grabbed him and threw him out the front door and told him to never come back. The Commander never asked why the guy was there. These Commanders were guys who had been the police and seemed intimidating but they would always back you up if you did your job. I even remember two of them being involved in chases.

If you’re alluding to a lack of productivity or being distracted from our purpose because the cop was doing this instead of “police work”, I could take pics of every squad I see with a passenger staring at his cell phone and the driver with his elbow propped on the door and phone glued to his head. I find that more annoying than this publicity stunt or whatever it is.

Too much of a coward to do it himself, so he tries to have the WC reject the time. This WC sounds like a stand up guy, because he told this Dark Elf to do it himself. He was not going to tell this officer that his own wedding date is rejected. The Dark Elf then retreated and agreed to allow this officer to get married. Instead of promoting a deserving officer from his own district he gives a merit spot to his butt buddy Jose Rojas. Who is another snake, and piece of garbage.

Don’t let his good nature antics full you, he has an agenda and he is doing this shit to boost himself up. If our so called leaders want to dress up, then do foot patrol in your elf suit or visit the district hospital instead of wasting valuable police resources by having officer follow you around to take goofy photos.

I can’t fucking believe my eyes. I thought this certainly had to be a clever Photoshop job. What a fucking clown. Half the time I can’t tell if I’m working a fucking circus or a police department. I love laughing and joking but there’s a difference between laughing and joking and being the joke… The softball is the joke. The other thing is is that it’s not even funny, it’s just stupid.

I would honestly buy merchandise or a calendar with all of our exempt clowns and their shenanigans that they’re known for. To date, recently:

- camel commander on her beast of burden
- F-1 commander showing up to police shooting with a paperclipped gun, more jewelry than most costume shops stock and some bummy ass chillaxing clothes (camel commander part deux?)
- Johnson&johnson&johnson (not a pharma company that merged with a third Johnson). No, Wellfed Ed when he was seeing tweety bird at the press conference. KJ, EJ. I Don’t recall funny pics of the brothers Johnson
- this assclown creep that no sane person would ever let within 1000 feet of their kids school
- Granny Clampet



Am I missing anyone? We need a photo album. Something to memorialize the fucktards that are promoted far beyond their capabilities

In the 70s we had 3 District Commanders in 020 who were tough and didn't take crap from anyone but they would back you up. I will leave their names out. I was at some kind of a citizen's meeting where they were beefing. This Commander gave it right back at them during which time he had a lit cigarette hanging from his lip while addressing them. Another one that I'll describe as having a barrel chest stood up for me when there was a question as to whether an "influential and prominent" citizen should be given traffic tickets. The W/C wanted to let him go but the Commander said charge him and back up the officer. Another Commander came into the station from some special event wearing the long coat. There was some irate guy screaming at the desk officers. This Commander came up behind him, grabbed him and threw him out the front door and told him to never come back. The Commander never asked why the guy was there. These Commanders were guys who had been the police and seemed intimidating but they would always back you up if you did your job. I even remember two of them being involved in chases.

12/10/2018 02:26:00 AM

I’m really sick of you “old timers” trying to compare way back when to today. I appreciate your service, I do, but you have no idea what it’s like these days. U just can’t compare. If that same Cmdr came in and threw the guy out of the station today, it would be on every news station within an hour and he would be stripped and charged with agh bat. And I’m not even kidding. That’s how different thing have gotten. Even tho most of us would live to be the tough guys that you guys were in your era, we just can’t do it. So, please save your stories about how things were back in the day and how soft we are today b/c if you were out there working the job today you would be just as soft.

I wish the idiotic Commander in my district was preoccupied with nonsense like this so he wasn't tieing up the zone with his bullshit police work.

I completely understand the comments that find these photos moronic. At this point does it really even matter anymore? This department has been cooked and done, with a fork sticking out of it for a long time now. This elf crap is just added A-1 sauce to the CPD steak. You could resurrect Frank Pape from the dead and put him in charge and it wouldn't make any difference at this point.
