Fifty sergeants made and we're speechless (click for larger versions):
First of all, how is Kenny (the skinny one) Johnson, currently under Federal indictment and singing to the feds allowed to nominate anyone? And someone who didn't even work for him (according to numerous e-mailers)?
Second of all, Barb "Pillow" West nominates (and promotes) someone who is currently living with indicted former Commander Kenny (the Skinny one) Johnson.
Are you fucking kidding us?
Is anyone as fucking disgusted with the current "leadership" as we happen to be? We can';t believe that Rahm, being the micromanaging control freak that he is, is actually allowing this bullshit to tarnish his already disastrous legacy.
If this doesn't show you exactly what the DoJ report was all about, we don't know what would. The Machine is alive and well and ignoring any real effort at "reform" by putting morons and idiots in charge, nominated by thieves and corrupt-a-crats.

how does one commander get three picks?
Well at least Barry Hager has done a lot of police work---and by that I mean NONE
How the fuck does Google me get a pick????
SCC - well said. Thank you for stating exactly what I was thinking (But you said it much better than I ever could)
One more reason I'm happy I'm gone. Swirling down the toilet is this department.
How does another civilian director of News Affairs get the merit spot?
And you can writing on wall Barb Pillow West promotes one and then she gets another beholder to follow her.
She will have to give something to keep her nice gig.
What you fail to understand SCC is that the politicians run it and they know it. They put the merits in, then they put their merits in and so on on. They are the intouchables, and they are now just flaunting it. It’s a slap in the face to the working men and women in this city. I’ve lost all respect for this department.
Not sure why you sound so surprised !! This same shit has been going on ,,
Well , it’s always happens !!!! I only have going on 20 yrs. and this shit
Was the same shit people were complaining about 20 yrs ago so why
the surprise? Disgusting yes !!! But surprise ? Cmon you have more time
On than 20 so your exposure to this shit has to be at least 3 decades
TA from 277? WTF?!!
Matt D - one of the biggest cry babies on this job. Good luck with him
How NOBLE of him. I’m so embarrassed for this dept. Supt Johnson is a complete joke for letting this pass. I can’t wait to leave this shit show.
I’m pretty sure that Nwagwu from 193 can’t even spell Sergeant. And now “he be one.”
That is the most pitiful group ever assembled
It just gets better (not) every day.
Speaking of rip offs:
Why does a hotel renovation translate to an SRO in east old town cost about $300k per unit? Yep do the math. ($27m/91 units) More wasted tax dollars.
Maybe that’s why 9.5 missed this latest merit craze, he’s too busy counting the kickback paddy whacks. God help Old Town between the multiple SRO’s and 1/2 way houses, old Cabrini Green was a calm kiddie playground. Old Town is the new gangsta crib on steroids. Ramit, Madigrin, prickwinkle, krinesha, reverend morons and all their cronies have ruined this great city. Who wants to live near these places? Why pay tons in purchase price and taxes to live feral? Look out: these affordable housing all coming soon to your area and with all the merit hacks, crime wins and really does pay. Totally disgusting
Only good news: this “hotel California” revamp is a few very short blocks to JB toilet’s crib, and lots of free divvy bikes to steal.

33% Merit. 33% Studied the "right" material. 34% Of the score.
By the numbers, it appears to be more legit than not. Congrats.
Good for Teahan. Good detective and a warm person when you get to know him. Glad to see and hopefully a man with your temperament and smarts for this job makes it back to the Detective division after a well deserved break in a district. Congrats.
So if you ever find yourself at a banquet and Special Ed
rants on about the time he pulled over Steve Prefontaine,
just ask the waiter if they have any of the good stuff in the
back. Order one shot of Chivas Regal, savor it, sip it slowly,
then drive home safely.
“Brooks was here” aka Joe B -003. You’ll be back.....
Sickening!
Congratulations to the New Sgts that earned it!
Congrats Iggy, you deserve it. Guy has damn near 20 years on if you count his time in oak lawn. He earned it.
The supe has the final say. How many of these were Letters of Justification ? That’s the scam of getting people in who don’t currently work for you or you had some chance encounter. It’s all bullshit. Try Doing a FOIA request on this. All you get is the dept run-around. DOJ report means nothing to this cheating and shameful regime.
Fact is morons and idiots in command positions can be easily controlled. There is a method to the madness.
Yes, the list of merits is mind blowing.
and how in God's name (or rather what pictures does he have) does Piggot get THREE fucking merit choices.....
Unfortunately the thieving commander, along with the rest of the embarrassing exempts, put their merit picks in before the feds came calling for him. Absolutely no excuse for him nominating someone who didn’t work for him AGAIN. And no excuse for the worst Supt. to allow this but then again.... I’ve never felt so constantly disrespected by a superintendent then I do with this clown. Can’t wait for the number of places skipped post.
Maybe Kenny already spent the money paid to him used to buy the meritorious promotion. Better to promote the undeserving to keep their silence than to have another state’s witness.
This is sick. Piggot nominated these people? Such injustice.
Congrats M.B. ! 06-1B
It would really be something (and appropriate) if for just once we, along with the FOP’s assistance, did something about this B.S. merit system. Some kind of protest, petition, activity strike... But that would be impossible because too many coppers would jump off a bridge for these merit idiots and for their OT, VRI, or some other sellout reason. And the “bosses” know it and take advantage of that and make us all look like fools.
Seriously I bust my ass everyday and try and bring in good shit on the west side and hope the bosses notice. I went to my merit interview and really thought I had a shot and thought my hard work would pay off. Guess it won’t. I’m starting to think this merit process isn’t fair
Don’t you worry about who we’re promoting even though they’re not qualified to manage a newspaper stand, just go get us some more blue cards so the media can continue to call you racist.
Lol !! I love it ! And officers still will go out there and work for these fucking idiots. There is no accountability anywhere in this city. I’ll just sit back and collect my check. It’s kinda nice going to work knowing I’m gonna catch up on all my shows on my DVR. It’s kimda stress free actually I just take my time and go to my jobs. Looking forward to that retro check and pay raise soon too !!
I sure gotta say that my level of satisfaction with this job has seriously plummeted, especially in the past couple years. I will continue to rot away on a beat car for the unseen future.
I am so done with trying to do anything on this job...
The MERIT picks,
The Johnson Brothers,
The Camel riding Commander with her bling,
It goes on and on.......
Stay safe and just do hhe bare minimum..
If I rename myself James Earl Ray can I get a merit promotion like Sgt “Cop Killer” Assata Olugbala in 025?? Or is that not how it works for everyone. This administration is the unfunniest joke ever.
I hope all the merit hacks are sent to the shit hole of the 3rd district. That’s what they deserve.
These theives are the worst— lie, steal, cheat... you know the rest
HOW DID pigott GET 3 PICKS..guess ALDERMAN Burke told him to make these 3 before he goes to jail. The CPD has turned into the CTA where you ll have a bunch of bosses at a scene and not 1 can make a decision. Last 1 on the Titanic please turn off the lights.
Commander Piggot has some great picks. Congratulations Rosario and Ray-Ray. I don’t know the other one, but I’m sure he’s just as good! Congratulations Chris Blum!
Congratulations Mike Burnette! You were a damn good FTo back in 021! Long overdo.
How the hell does the commander of 1st district get three merit picks and they all get made? This is straight up bullshit and they wonder why working coppers get pissed when dog asses get promoted due to their connections. How the hell does commander from 020 put in an FTO from the slowest district in the city? And they get made. How the hell does he earn that privilege? I bet she/he has the lowest activity ever? This is outrageous and unacceptable but allowed by Kidney bean and all his minions. Now that the new Sgts exam will have oral boards you can expect the connected people will perform outstanding just like Lie- tenant Fenner (Johnson) and the rest of the cheating Lie-tenants. It’s very obvious that you have SME study groups cheating with answers; then the rigged Merit process where no one is held accountable and now the oral boards where a connected person will score incredibly well even though they barely pass part one. Three ways to get promoted by breaking the rules with nepotism, favoritism and politics. Is that the American Dream? It looks that way to everyone. Good luck boys and girls start getting connected now, get engaged with some deputy or commanders kid or it will be a long 20 years.
Chuck D, for the fuck sake don’t tell young people your war stories, they might call EAP on you
Now make a detective class please..
Now let's see if any if these New Sgts
end up in the Detective Unit like the
city promised. I doubt it, same old
tricks.
Pigott gets 3 picks??? They couldn’t get anybody else to nominate his chose ones so it looks semi legit?
I guess as long as you’re an attractive female the sky is the limit in the department. What a fucking joke!
Well searches in 024 have improved- tact team rifled threw douchebag'a pockets and dischangersd a semiauto burning douchebag'a junk and almost shot another officer's foot. LOL!
Not only are you right about your two points, but lastly, look at the number of those that made it from units as opposed to those from the districts. Unreal?!
About time MB from 002! Congratulations.
OT why are officers with 18 mos on the job allowed to work with PPO? Haven’t we learned anything from past incidents? Officers with under 2 1/2 years, still don’t know squat and they certainly shouldn’t be allowed to join tact.
That Jose kid from 001 is a stand up kid from DOJ. Congrats JOSE
skinny johnson is like a mobster who goes to prison and is still calling the shots of who gets made.
how can guglielmi nominate someone? how the fuck would he know if a someone is deserving of a merit promotion? what a joke!
Whatever the case congrats to Jeff from 011 and Brittian from 002. Super nice guys wish nothing but the best for both.
FUCK!!!!
All this dummer than dumb shit fall directly under Big head kidney bean Ed.
FUCK both of the greedier than thou unholy Johnson Brothers.
Barb you need to go as well.
Sick and tired of these losers cheaters back stabbers a d asshole bosses.
FUCK you cheaters and brass ass eaters
Seriously Angelo JR...???
There are some good names from the list
Congrats to Sgt A.O. from 020.
Congrats CB.
Ron gaines from news affairs what a joke good luck to whoever gets this slug.lmao
Why is Guguliomi even able to nominate and for that matter why is anyone from news affairs even eligible to be nominated? What exactly is meritorious on news affairs? Typed up a correctly spelled news release on a consistent basis?
☝️ Hey now, everyone remember, "integrity" is one of the new core values of the CPD!!! LOL.....except when it comes to certain people and "merit".
"Ronald Gaines Jr" - papa is a,less than ambitious, "Chief" in Dart's electronic monitoring. Apple and the tree.
Google me gets to nominate too? Wow.
If anyone wonders why nobody has any faith in our leadership, this thread says it all.
Exactly why the merit system needs to be abolished. It’s a total joke and it’s never based on actual merit.
This is every thing that’s wrong with the CPD. It will never change. Merit is a cancer. Also the reason the CPD is always in the spotlight. Embarrassing
What a joke CPD merit is! Down 12 detectives just like that...
The Machine, Valley of the Dolls Division
Don't forget ex F.O.P. President's son getting made. Wonder how that happened?
Another good question would be how did pigott manage 3 merit spots?
I'm going to ignore the ridiculous and disgusting "merit" selections for a minute just to get this out there: Burnette is a fucking stroke and a half. Good luck to anyone stuck with him.
How does google me even get a pick. And then Piggott gets two.
This system is the biggest joke ever.
trying to keep a car.......clout?
Merit promotions are a joke. Given not earned.
I usually don't post about promotions....
but the merit promotee from 017?? wtf
there a lot more deserving officers in the district....
sorry, what have you done in your career to deserve a merit bump..
The guy KJ made was never in the 007th district. It’s how they pay to play in the CPD. You nominate my guy and I’ll nominate your girlfriend. All the while he was stealing over $300,000 from the government. There is no ethical behavior among the exempt members of this department.
3 of the hideous 6 make SGT from the list from 04-05C. Up yours team awesome!!! All those team awesome study groups apparently didn’t pay off you strokes. Some how though I’m sure 04-05c canine Officer P.M. will stIll eventually outrank everyone through merit. Coming from a guy who says I didn’t even need to look at my test results because I know I did well. Hopefully that dog is better sniffing balls than you are ole Patty if you want that special merit spot. Long live king Kumar!!!!
It's all legit...
Do those two have pictures of SpEd with a sheep?
anybody at cwb on this?
The song remains the same. Nepotism, cronyism, parochialism, all hallmarks of a corrupt promotional process that has long been the norm on this department.
When it comes to the CPD nothing surprises me anymore. The city is beyond saving and the state is not far behind. Get out if you can, if you can't well no one lives forever.
Adrian Vivanco great copper will make a great Sergeant! Congrats bro!
Merit promotions for supervisory ranks need to be eliminated as soon as possible. That policy was one of the downfalls for the PD.
First EM from 009 and now who, from WHERE!?!?!?!
Merit pick AT and he ole ‘partner’ got their guns stolen while they were out. Look closely; she was assigned to some entitled Homan Square unit (191) but detailed to 017?????? How does that happen, unless of course you fuck up royally and the commander advises you to submit a to-from your way to a district.
Unreal. How the fuck?
Secondly, J.K. From 011 is going to be a great sergeant. Good cooper and a great guy.
The merit hacks that run the dept and oked this list weren't even smart enough to take skinny K's name off the list and insert another merit hacks name to avoid any embarrassment. Oh wait they have no shame. It's our time now no matter what the circumstances are. When you see this b/s it really motivates you to go out and work harder,NOT. God bless and stay fetal and employed.
Who signs off on this? I mean, aside from Ed, this stupidity has signatures attached. Sorry to everyone who didn’t make Sgt behind this merit hack.
The Dumbing Down of the Department continues.
Pillows nomination is Skinny KJ's girlfriend!!. Now if that doesn't piss anyone off, I don't know what will.
Makes me sick. The Lie-tenants and the promotion of Assata Olugbala, who changed her bname to honor a cop killer, then was meritoriously promoted are the toppers. Nothing else suprises me. Disgusting!!!
you want change?
vote republican
If you're an FTO I would be pretty pissed. Now that POS supernintendo of ours has promised that he would give FTOs a couple of merit picks in every class. Sounds good on its face but just like every thing else on the department they've used it to screw deserving P.O.'s. A.P. made FTO in either the last class or the second to last class of FTOs. When I first saw the FTO list I said to several people "why is she becoming an FTO?, she has a lot of time on the job. Maybe she really wants to help the new guys, but I bet it's so they can use one of the FTO merit picks to make her a SGT." I really hate being right. I don't know about the other FTO merit pick but I'd be curious to know how long he was an FTO. In any case this is a slap in the face to you FTOs who do a great job and have been doing it a long time. The leadership in this department disgusts me.
IM glad DEAN the dream made it.
he can now bother the sergeants union his clownish ways.
May be his daddy can be the spokesman for the sergeant union good riddance.
You were a great detective even thou you made no arrest and closed few cases.

Because officers with time on don't want to babysit the new breed of SJW officers. 765B
"BoozeBreath" B-Murph who recently went to airport North was bragging how his clout, Ed Burke, had already put the word in for him to be merit Sgt. before the big take-down. He looked very disappointed yesterday when this list came out and went right back to his drinking hole. B-Murph, you did nothing in 024 and have begged your clout to rescue you for years...well they got you to the airport....stop begging!
Matt Brittain and Terry Teahan are both great, knowledgeable people. MB is among the hardest working coppers I have seen in my career, TT is a great detective and will be a great boss. Congrats to both of you, you earned it. The exceptions to the rule in this place. Pigott gets three picks? LOL. KJ? Come on. Eddie, did you even look at this before you signed off on it? Or are you too worried about planning your wife’s promotion to captain or commander before you pull the plug? I do feel sorry for you though. It’s gotta be hell to come home everyday and hear her.... “When am I getting made? Hey, make my friend this kind of boss. No booty for you if I don’t gets mine!” All the while, knowing that 9.5 can pull that IG investigation out of his back pocket at any time. Don’t worry about the kidneys, you’re gonna have a heart attack before that last kidney gives out on you.
One nasty hand washes the other nasty hand.
In the shit juices of feckless wonders.
And, thus, all assholes are thoroughly lubricated by each others' courtesy.
Ahhhhhh, the sweet wonders of democrat paradise.......
I was at the GOP Mayoral Forum last night. Law enforcement was a big topic. I went in leaning toward Vallas. Now I'm going to vote for Fioretti. He's the guy to clean up the mess at the top of CPD. After the forum I asked Fioretti who would be a good Superintendent. He said Bill Kushner. That would be an outstanding choice.
Lewin and Hager used to date and live together.
Lewin personally knows all Barry's qualifications.
If Lewin says he's qualified, I'll take his word for it.
My God but we have total imbeciles wearing white shirts these days. We always did but the number nowadays is staggering.
Pigott is only following Burke’s instructions. I guess it’s Pigotts payback for letting Burke and Rahm donors do whatever they want. Time to let COPA know.
Congratulations Matt Daq. You will make a great Sergeant. Signed Retired Sergeant JAH
Congrats, Mike Roth. Hopefully you can get back to the D soon!
End Merit forever!
Command Piggott gets two Meritorious picks for one reason only. During his last two CompStat Meetings he was the only Commander that lead the City from the Nirth to the South and from the East to the West in his District Twitter Account. All other District Commanders were told that they need to raise there Twitter following. True Story!
Dean Jr made it of the list no?
"The Machine is alive and well and ignoring any real effort at "reform" by putting morons and idiots in charge, nominated by thieves and corrupt-a-crats."
Jerry Joyce. 'Nuff said.
Will this be the last class of off this list? They are at about 510 on the current list.
Congrats david Bird you earned it. Fuck all those merit hacks
The names of those who have sold their souls.
In the words of Jack Reacher: Remember, you wanted this.
SCC checkout today article on Burke on Frontpage Magazine
Burke and Kraushaar are solid people. Will be good bosses.
Pigott, 'Ald. Burkes Guy' got three (3) picks and Googleme a "department spokesperson' got one too.
Yup, it's legit.
Nwagwu could be one of the dumbest militant box of rocks in gang investigations. This guy says the star spangled banner is a racist song. That place was filled with morons when they took Gorman out. Maybe he can go ride with merit cop killer sgt assata
The amazing part is the Supt didn’t even consider how terrible it looks to put those names on the order for merit. It’s sends a bad message. I’m surprised Ed Burke didn’t get a pick too.
Leave Ronald Gaines alone! I worked with him in 006 and we had a lot of fun. We brought in guns and not some shitty one-baggy arrests. More power to him if he has clout! Tuley Park, park check all the way!
Where is the FOP ????? They can raise any questions or comments during all this!! All I know is that they are not the voice I voted for . This department is a joke. STAY FETAL MY FRIENDS........
Chicago anything=corrupt
Is anyone as fucking disgusted with the current "leadership" as we happen to be? We can';t believe that Rahm, being the micromanaging control freak that he is, is actually allowing this bullshit to tarnish his already disastrous legacy.
It takes the heat off the twerp and any future democratic mayors, fuckups of the future be the change...
Did Barry H ever work in a police car? How long before he ends up back in Data Systems?
overheard at an exempt meeting:
Special Ed: "you can't pull the wool over my eyes!......baaaaaaa"
M. B from 002 very knowledgeable and easygoing! Congrats!
Congrats to JR from 001. Your many years of kissing ass as secretary have finally paid off. And Gaines jr daddy was merit also. So that's something to be proud of.
You can’t make this up... can you Kidney Bean? As Tony Preckdagger-in-theback would say.. there is a special place in hell for you Kidney Stone

Please Assata Olugbala is bad news. She’s a nut.
Dog out the 001 commander all u want but I’d work for all of his picks without a problem. At the end of the day good use of three picks. Crazy how different they are in their policing style but all effective in their own way.
No problem with you making Sgt but hey work the streets Sgt Angie Salgado . You worked inside your whole career .
Matt D - one of the biggest cry babies on this job. Good luck with him
1/14/2019 09:29:00 PM
I second that! Welcome to 003 Sgt. Matt......hahahahhahahahha
And the Evil Continuum of Meritorious Clout goes on...
Blum - well deserved and long overdue!
Brittain - thank God...thought we’d have a bell tower situation!
Camarillo - nice guy
Toledo and Aziz is a joke. Dogs. Liars.
This list is proof positive that Pay To Play is alive and well in the CPD. Merit my ass follow the money trail.
This Merit list is the best that money can buy.
Buy your promotions at Promotions Are Us while you can. The light is shining and they just might have to close doors. So be smart and get yours while you can. Remember Keri’s is bought not earned. The Chicago Wat at it’s finest.
I guess not one single officer from 009 was qualified enough for the commander to consider someone from his own district for a merit spot. He bypassed everyone that works for him and took someone from a unit instead.
pigott proofthat eddie burke and the 19th ward are in full contol
Dean Angelo?! I hope he ain't as big a pooch as his father was back in 025.
OT
Had to go down to headquarters today and wow is that lot a joke. You have people parking like assholes. Blocking each other in, blocking marked squad cars in, getting into arguments about why saw which spot first. It’s an inspectors wet dream if they ever drove around there, officers getting out of their cars in uniform but with out of state plates, no front plates/city stickers it’s anarchy in that place.
let me see here you are a powerful alderman you shake down burger king owners , you get federally indicted and yet you get all of the merit promotions
never mind
eddioe burke and fat phil still control it
And then Piggott gets two
Count again Piggott gots three...

It appears he scored around 500 on the test.
This is the same cabal that is remaining busy promoting hacks while simultaneously pushing a consent decree and transparency. It is a contradictory and hypocritical load of shit. Why bust your ass for people who promote those who you have seen? I will be redundant again: Answer calls promptly. Cut paper and arrest when offender is present on signed complaints by the alleged victim captured on BWC (unless a blatant domestic, etc.). Smile, wave, drive safely, have a good lunch and repeat. If something is so flagrant or an OEMC call warrants it, then blue card, ISR, etc., if one has to. Otherwise stay safe and remember: The same politicians who want lower crime, increased police activity and transparency are the ones providing no assistance regarding retiree healthcare and pensions.
Your all using the wrong terms in given. The verb should be bought. Maybe cash maybe sexual favors but none the less bought. Do not bend over for any of these new merit hacks.
This list surprises Who? Guess you haven't been paying attention for the last 60-70 years this is the Chicago Way exhibit A. Better work harder and get connected or have a pile of cash to spread around if you want to be promoted any time soon. So just what is the going rate for a merit bump these days? Has it gone over 20K yet?
FTO AO gets the merit pick. His brother in 010 is clout heavy. MO will be a commander by the end of the year.
Still you wonder why the CPD is such a clusterf**k? This list and all the others like it is the simple answer. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but things will not get better in your career lifetime as long as merit promotions are allowed. You will continue to be lead by the clueless but connected. Thinks it is bad now wait until next Mayor and all the SJW joining the CPD. The community has won and your days are numbered. The State/city bankruptcy will negate all pension obligations and you will be wondering what happened. Wake up and start your plan B.
Special ed raises 🐑
M.B from 002? Dudes afraid of his own shadow.hope he got a cushy spot lined up.
Can someone explain to me how someone who had a search warrant executed on their home is made into a merit sergeant?
If ya’ll passed the test, good for you.
Looks like Units are going to be backfilled with the most experienced and about 8-10 will be thrown to the Districts.
Still plenty of time for a huge Friends of SpecialEd finale.
C'est la vie say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell.
Funny, all you guys and girls in 010 humping to make those mcc arrests so your boss looks good let me ask, where are your merit promotions?
Congratulations New Sergeants! You will be the face of change and principled leadership for the CPD. If you are wise you will actively solicit a transfer to IAD. This Bureau is the place that will remind you of why you became the POLICE! So come join IAD and become part of the department’s transformation!
MERIT PROMOTIONS and MANAGEMENT POSITIONS should be completely ELIMINATED
merits promoting merits..........
its rotten to the core
Luckily we have the clown from news affairs picking our future leaders. Great police mind.
It’s all legit....my FTO sarcastically told me that 32 years ago.

Laughable.

Steve Prefontaine died in a car accident in 1975, long before EJ ever came on the job.
Seriously I bust my ass everyday and try and bring in good shit on the west side and hope the bosses notice. I went to my merit interview and really thought I had a shot and thought my hard work would pay off. Guess it won’t. I’m starting to think this merit process isn’t fair

You forgot to end your post with '\sarcasm'; and if you didn't forget, you are an idiot. Welcome to how CPD really operates.

Why is Guguliomi even able to nominate and for that matter why is anyone from news affairs even eligible to be nominated? What exactly is meritorious on news affairs? Typed up a correctly spelled news release on a consistent basis?

Those picks are made by a Commander or Director, but they are just shills doing the bidding of an alderman or a city commissioner.
I'm going to ignore the ridiculous and disgusting "merit" selections for a minute just to get this out there: Burnette is a fucking stroke and a half. Good luck to anyone stuck with him.

Is that the Burnette on iod much of his career because he couldn't resist the temptation to open his pie hole and fight everybody?

OT why are officers with 18 mos on the job allowed to work with PPO? Haven’t we learned anything from past incidents? Officers with under 2 1/2 years, still don’t know squat and they certainly shouldn’t be allowed to join tact.

What have we learned? A year more makes the big difference. I’ve found time doesn’t help on the job. If you haven’t learned the job in 18 months and are a dog , at 5 years you will be. Dog and at 10 years you will be one. No one suddenly at 2 1/2 or 3 years becomes a policeman. You either have the desire from day one, learn and pick it up or you don’t
Congrats Joe Buck 003.!!

Command Piggott gets two Meritorious picks for one reason only. During his last two CompStat Meetings he was the only Commander that lead the City from the Nirth to the South and from the East to the West in his District Twitter Account. All other District Commanders were told that they need to raise there Twitter following. True Story!

You're obviously just making crap up.
Terry Teahan great as a P.O. great Detective. Gentleman and a scholar.
Dean Jr's promotion - was that part of Daddies last contract negotiation when Daddy negotiated for 500 cars and gave away the Duty Availability of Officers who have less then 42 months on the job?
Moreover, is Jr a BSr like his old man?
The merit system was supposed to all for a good street copper to get promoted even if he/she were not good test takers. Obviously, this is not the case. I strongly disagree with allowing civilian directors to have a voice in that process at all!!
We all know that they put these folks in based on a favor for a political pal or another exempt that does not have the wack to get a spot. I am so happy that 80 of us retired today. It has been a great experience and I have met and worked with a lot of good hard working people in my tenure. Dont let the b.s. sour you guys/gals. Make this job work for you. Be safe and get out as soon as you can. I just turned 55 and CYA!!
bill angus as a sgt what joke nice to see the ex wife lt still has allot of wack
in the move scareface starring al pacino there is a scene in the Miami moonlight where there is a hot air balloon that reads " the world is yours" well if you pigott and have clout the world in the cpd can be yours
Barry from HQ promoted by his best friend buddy Johnny. Both of which never spent one day on street. Ever. Oh wait maybe for FTO cycles in 020. Maybe if that. But he is merit sergeant. Ha ha ha Barry been at HQ for twenty years inside at a desk. Must be difficult to suck ass and brown nose Johnny and go on vacations with him and be his little Robin to His Batman . Look in the mirror Barry you have never been the police and never will be But to your ego it don’t matter because you are now a white shirt boss who will be kept inside even as a sergeant under the command of your loser best friend for life gold star You are pathetic. Cops who bust their ass on street and are true back bone of this department have no respect for you being hidden away as a 20 year desk dolly empty holster who is nothing but a suck ass and BFF to Johnny boy. What was your accomplishment that got you merit ? Answering a phone call at the 4data help line ? Plugging in a keyboard ? Hanging out in Halsted drinking with Johnny telling him what a great boss he is ?

Did Barry H ever work in a police car? How long before he ends up back in Data Systems?
1/15/2019 09:01:00 AM
DUMB questions. The answers are : never in a police car for 2 decades, and other answer : IMMEDIATELY
why be surprised ? Everybody knows the CPD is the crookedest Game in Town...
PATHETIC PICKS
1. Gaines Unit 102 (Guglielmi)
2. Franklin Unit 123 (West)
3. Hager Unit 125 (Lewin)
4. Adler Unit 277 (Murphy)
What a JOKE
Who in the FaCK let this happen? Ed ? Goes to show
you nobody gives a sh*t about the future of CPD
A grand slap in the face to all of the hard working officers!!
Unbelievable
Promoting Indicted Johnson live in girl friend? Priceless...hope the G takes a look at this corrupt nonsense.
Written on the chalkboard at the academy 40 years ago. How CPD works.

Don't forget ex F.O.P. President's son getting made. Wonder how that happened?

It appears he scored around 500 on the test.
1/15/2019 11:43:00 AM
Don't know the dude, don't know if he was a great cop and was no big fan of his Dad from his time in the FOP, but he made it legit from both lists, so he gets a pass ! Nail him if a merit LT spot comes up for him ! We are so quick to eat our own ! Good luck Jr !

I was at the GOP Mayoral Forum last night. Law enforcement was a big topic. I went in leaning toward Vallas. Now I'm going to vote for Fioretti. He's the guy to clean up the mess at the top of CPD. After the forum I asked Fioretti who would be a good Superintendent. He said Bill Kushner. That would be an outstanding choice.
1/15/201
Don’t waste your vote on Fioretti. He ran against Rahm last time and didn’t e en come close. He’s got a snowball’s chance in Hell if winning.
1/15 0838: I don't know the guy so I don't know or care how dumb he is or not. But to keep you from making yourself look foolish be advised there is a controversial paragraph of the Star Spangled Banner that specifically mentions slaves. The discrepancy is what slaves they are referring to. Some think American slaves from Africa and some think mercenaries/indentured servants etc who helped fight against the colonies. Furthermore, it was not the national anthem when Francis Scott Key penned it. Before you jump to how crazy he is it would behoove you to know that historians and academics don't agree on who or what slaves the song is referring to when it says "No refuge could save the hireling and slave."

Dog out the 001 commander all u want but I’d work for all of his picks without a problem. At the end of the day good use of three picks. Crazy how different they are in their policing style but all effective in their own way.
1/15/2019 09:40:00 AM
GTFOH!! I'd work for one maybe, but not all three.

T.D. is that you? LOL
I guess not one single officer from 009 was qualified enough for the commander to consider someone from his own district for a merit spot. He bypassed everyone that works for him and took someone from a unit instead."
--That officer worked for Darling when he was the Lt. at 312.
Dean Angelo?! I hope he ain't as big a pooch as his father was back in 025.
1/15/2019 10:49:00 AM
God.please send Jr the " super cop" to the southside. Cannot handle that handjob anywhere near me on the northaide.
Yo, Steve Prefontaine
It's only a joke, dude.
And by pulled over, I meant while Steve was running!
Leave it to Ed to be a multi-generational man and to
use the lack of history by the audience to impress them.
TA from 277? WTF?!!
1/14/2019 09:25:00 PM
a lesbian f/1 and a hater to boot... shes the perfect merit pick. you act surprised.
Nwagwu could be one of the dumbest militant box of rocks in gang investigations. This guy says the star spangled banner is a racist song. That place was filled with morons when they took Gorman out. Maybe he can go ride with merit cop killer sgt assata
1/15/2019 08:38:00 AM
It happens when you have a commander who has ZERO police experience......that Kennedy keeps fooling people....In completely over his head...but his hand job buddies still tell everyone who will listen that Chris is a good guy. Stop lying to people. That unit is shit since he took over. GFY's.
PROMOTIONS under kidney bean has been absolutely sad.... This clowns promotes all the women there fucking or there buddy boss is fucking. Really a sad state of affairs when U allow an indicted Cmdr of police make a merit pick and promote. But, that wasn’t enough merit all the way up the ladder barb-west promotes the indicted Cmdrs fiancée. Who is also a never done anything promotion... rahmster is quite the clown 🤡 or ass puppet,cuz he allowed this idiot of a superintendent 2 promote some1 on federally indicted cmdrs word....
