Really Kevin?
- Embattled alderman Ed Burke was out campaigning for re-election Monday, less than three weeks after he was charged with attempted extortion. He arrived to an event that was described as a private meet and greet between first responders and Burke at Doc's Grey Horse Saloon on Chicago’s Southwest Side.
The media was not invited inside.
Burke arrived in a black Mercedes SUV, minus his security detail, which was removed after he was charged. Also Monday, Burke, a former police officer, earned the endorsement of the Fraternal Order of Police.
We thought allowing Skinny Johnson - currently under federal investigation - a "merit" pick and Barb West nominating Skinny's girlfriend for promotion was a new low for the Department.
Then McCompStat opened his gob.
And now FOP endorses someone currently under indictment?
How deep does this rabbit hole go?

Vote them all out. One term, just like Dean. I don’t give a rat’s ass about “innocent until proven guilty”. That doesn’t apply to Burke. He’s been stealing for nearly 50 yrs., and since when has he been a great friend to the police? Fuck him.
FOP endorses a guy who helped make it where we have to do a DUI test as part of are random drug testing!
Forget this group!
What an embarrassment. This is a circus. The FOP endorsed Madigan too, so stupid.
We elected a fucking dead guy county board president. Is this that much different?
Business as usual; hey Burke, what ever happened to the new AR's and training.
He didn’t lose his security detail, old Ralph Schauff is still around holding his coat.
Blago now Burke. What’s a soul go for nowadays?
Sold out!
This shady shit...
Has City Hall via Burke been co-opting the FOP
leadership all along to sow dissent and misinformation
among the membership to keep "those coppers" from
standing united and actually being able to fight
back against the outrages committed by city Hall?
What has Burke promised the current leadership
to march the membership around in circles to
a standstill?
Finance and the games played with legit IOD recurrence
denials and disability being granted to clouted schemers
needs to be looked at even more closely.
Too many dirty hands washing each other...
What is it about these assholes. Nothing more than a political whore. As soon as they get in they just do for themselves and fuck the people they actually work for. Dump this asshole. Now you know whats going to happen in contract talks. I am sure he will working for his members. Yeah right.
This is truly a disappointment. I’m sure they are betting that Burke may still win and beat the charges and give the FOP a fair shake. But how about be silent and endorse no one?
This is such a huge misstep that I can't even imagine what these chuckleheads at the FOP are thinking. They should never be endorsing anyone who's under a federal indictment and especially not this asshole. We should all be blowing up the phones tomorrow.
....sounds like Burke has a blue monkey and dropped
in to score a spare Narcan, you know, for the SUV.....
after all the guy is a public servant......
(how does a former po wind up with a Mercedes SUV?)
Got some real Harvard Graduate material at the helm there
Joyce, unlike Vallas the panderer has not made a life off appointments to Government jobs. No, He has made his own way and ows nothing to nobody. He has not spoken out against CPD. Vallas has made it clear that he wnats more proson time for the worngfull convicted VanDyke.

Hey nit wit, little Jerry Joyce is the son of Jeremiah Joyce a former alderman, state senator and Madigans ball washer. Get your facts straight. Little Jerry is a machine plant to pull votes away from Vallas.
We got it right when we voted for Shields. They made sure it was corrected.
It’s Preib and Murry against Graham inside the FOP office. If it was a civilians, there wouldbr terminations and lawsuits. Who suffers? We do!
This is a joke time for a new union crook country
So only in Chicago would the FOP back an indited crooked Alderman. Then you wonder why things are the way they are in city. Your union is as stupid as you are for allowing this. Next you complain that no one has your backs, mqnqg3ment, public and media. And yet you allow your union to back a knoen crook. LOL.
Come on folks , you want public trust get out of bed with the Chicago Machine. So just what did Burke promise Kevin?
You all have a choice now to stop having dues deducted from your checks. Anyon3 have the balls to do it now or do you green with the Burke decision. Stop wasting your money supporting the FOP they have and are selling you down the river.
Ed Burke Jr. got out town and is driving a Uber in Florida funny 😂
Ed Burke Jr spent more time at North Ave and Kingberry he is a clout baby 👶
I've been deeper places, but the details might abhor you.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
And Solis wore a wire to record Burke!! Where does the next domino fall?
Time to drop out of the union just pay your fair share Fuck FOP
Is FOP working the Ward for Ed Burke 😂
Deep. Just sticking to the real estate appeal industry, there are hundreds of lawyers that solicit homeowners for appeals. I suspect there's money flowing from these bottom dwellers to the kingpins like Burke and Madigan. I also suspect the assessor's office is in on it. Some one has to jack up assessments so people feel motivated to appeal. Then there are the judges who hear the appeals. Pretty convenient for Burke to head the committee involved with getting them on the bench. There's money flowing there too.
Burke probably had some pie in his pockets.
Are these dumb motherfuckers also giving money for Willie Cochran’s legal defense fund too. Imbeciles.
You expected something else? How long have you lived in Chicago,State?
FOP supported/supports Burge, Van Dyke and now Burketo name a few. What's the problem? He hasn't been convicted of anything ala the first two whom FOP continue to support. So once again what's the problem?
Thanks for making the entire union look like assholes, if that endorsement were put to a memebership vote, it would of never happened.
The clowns at FOP are a JOKE !
It seems the FOP has become as corrupted as any alderman with this endorsement. I don't know what the alternatives are, but I beginning to think the rank and file should start considering dumping FOP for different representation.
There is a huge Burke faction in the Dept. , most of all at the airports and the FOP but other places as well. Many of these guys and gals have road the Burke wagon their entire careers, "I bet none know how to process an arrest", and they aren't going to give up on their man so easily. After all its only an indictment and Burke is Daley era Chicago Irish.
Jesus rose from the dead and so can Burke. This is Crooked County after all, even if its a federal court the jury will be full of cook county airheads.
Thank you sir can I have another.
His gob! I love you SCC.
Who in the FOP votes to endorse candidates?
What the hell is wrong with this board?
Everyone should stop paying dues to the union. How is it that Graham can decide to put all of our names behind this mobster.
drain the swamp
I have met Kevin Grahm twice.
Once when he was in uniform years ago, and the last time about a year ago.
If the FOP members do not do some research and vote for their choices
This is what you get for you Union Dues?
Sorry but the status of the FOP is shameful.
This morning breaking news states Alderman Solis is the Feds inside mole.
And that Solis has had conversations with Burke that were recorded by the FBI
While using Solis to get Burke to talk about money grab crimes?
And Our FOP board decided to back BURKE.
Show me any politician that is currently in office who has not
Sold his soul for the money or position?
Showing your true colors, Kevin. Unbelievable. Typical politician. Shame on you.
Ah you crooked MF,s
Burke arrived in a black Mercedes SUV, minus his security detail, which was removed after he was charged.
Here come the fake threats against him!
What is wrong with FOP?
Shameful
Embarrassing is an understatement. It’s fine if they play the “his opponent is so anti police we had no choice” card. In that instance you simply do NOT endorse ANYONE. How in Gods name does a police union endorse a politician who has been indicted?. Cmon. A vote of no confidence needs to be had and coppers need to wake up when FOP elections Come around. Coppers are like the general public at election time they believe any bullshit these hacks spew.
The F.O.P. should be replaced. This endorsement is the nail in the coffin. If for any reason you didnt believe the F.O.P. was in bed with city hall this proves it. They do not and I repeat DO NOT have the best interest of their officers , detectives and retirees in mind. Guaranteed!
Way to make McCarthy look correct. You fucking idiots
This is getting BEYOND RE-DIC-U-LIS.....I'm about ready to just give the FUCK UP.......
Solis recorded Burke. Rat eats rat.
What does Mr. Rabbit Hole himself have to say?
You can’t make this shit up. Three biggest ingredients for corruption = Chicago, Cook, IL.
tactical Units make 90% 0f arrests , write more ISR cards , ANOV than all three watches in every district . citizens of Chicago need a midnight tactical unit in every district or assign tactical units to a 12 hour shift so citizens receive the protection they deserve .

KM?? Of 003? Is that you? With all the wisdom you’ve accumulated in 2 years? Totally something you’d say, and we’ve heard come out your mouth. When it’s not glued to a bosses ass anyway.
Grand Crossing Gunslinger
Rumor has it that officers trying to bid out of 025 are flagged as problem officers.
Not surprising, considering FOP made new squad cars part of last contract. Nothing but political hacks down on Washington. We are sooooooo screwed.
Why does the FOP political endorsement committee support assholes like Alderman Burke? Do we have a transparent process?
Maybe a survey should be sent to FOP members and if the members endorse a specific candidate then the FOP endorses that candidate.
This removes "ALL" doubt that FOP 7 is, and has been "in the bag" for years. Current Lodge president, Kevin Graham should be asked to resign as FOP president. The damage from him, and past presidents will take generations to fix, if, and, only if, The political will of the lodge determines to do so.
Remember, "This removes ALL doubt"...No explanation can be given for throwing any support to corrupt politicians after the way Burke has treated the police in the past. This was a perfect opportunity to dump Burke in the shit can of life, and simply DO what was right. Whether, or not Burke will be found guilty, or Not guilty is to be determined by a court. Burke should not be re-elected. Again, NO satisfactory explanation can be given here. Should KG state that Burke is innocent until proven guilty, will only prove that there is an allegiance to Burke that is too strong to break at this point in time. FOP 7 has put out a long line of "political" endorsements in the past. Almost all of them have caused the lodge to scratch their heads. Never before has it been so clear. The right thing to do, was not done here, and casts serious doubt on the lodge president. He has been silent on many issues. This silence now speaks volumes about his loyalties.
its all about the merit promotions, eddie taking care of the fop friends and the fop putting eddie friends in for merit promotions

Will we ever find out what the Feds had on Solis?
Is there a CODE OF SILENCE with him the Ciry Coumsel? Sure seems like tbere is with Sawyers statements below. They want police to “rat” on other police and when they don’t there is a massive CODE OF SILENCE issue with police officers. Well it looks like Solis knew something with Burke was wrong and he made steps to bring it to light and he is being vilified
FOP do something and call out this hypocrisy of elected officials claiming a code of silence in the police and then publicly string themself they would partake in a code of silince among themselves.
Burke’s colleagues were not nearly as tight-lipped. They view Solis’ actions as a betrayal.
Ald. Roderick Sawyer (6th), chairman of the City Council’s Black Caucus, said getting wired up to snare colleagues is “not the way I was brought up.”
“If I was caught doing something wrong, I’d just take my punishment, deal with the consequences . . . and keep my mouth shut,” Sawyer said.
As for Solis, Sawyer said, “I feel for him. I feel for his family. But it is not a comforting moment that you have to really think twice when you’re talking to somebody on the Council floor, on the phone or whatever.”
Burke bought into our police pension and is collecting a full pension. FOP WHY ENDORSE THIS MOOCH.
Too many CLOWNS in FOP !!!!
One term, Kevin. That's it for you. Everyone that brought you there now hates you. I never thought we would see a bigger FAIL than Dean Angelo as president of the FLOP, but you managed to do it.
Chuy Garcia's guy just beat Representative Daniel J. Burke (D) 1st District, Ed's brother. Chuy endorses an Aldermanic candidate, Tanya Patino, running against Ed. Luis (FALN boy) Guitterez's replacement is getting awfully power hungry. Chuy is a hater. Tanya's the girlfriend of Aaron Ortiz who just beat Dan Burke. Here is a part of her platform, " The other thing that I want to bring in is participatory budgeting. Residents like the idea. They like that they’re going to be part of the decision-making. They like that anyone in the ward can vote. They just have to be over sixteen and live in the ward—they don’t have to be registered voters, they don’t have to be citizens. They’re really excited because they’re going to actually be heard."
Sorry for the long rant, however, read more about Tanya and policing. Real scary stuff. All three candidates running against Ed were Chuy's people. One dropped out to run Tanya's campaign. Solis' involvement?

Wasn’t there a recent court ruling where you can drop your union and no have to pay fair share?
Why can't CPD get a different union??????
The FOP has made some questionable moves... but this?? Come on!! Supporting an indicted Alderman????
BTW, why the hell was Alderman Matt O'Shea playing on the CPD Hockey Team the other night vs. CFD? (For those that don't know, O'Shea is the 19th Ward Alderman who voted YES to revoke retiree benefits, held hands and prayed with a bunch of street activists and apologized for how "racist" his ward is) ON TV. Then, meets with Black Lives Matter Youth to apologize again.
So i have a question seeing as the last couple FOP elections have been disasters and we can’t seem to agree about anything. And I’m asking for pros and cons as I don’t know what this would entail or the benefits or the downside to what I’m about to ask. Say we have lost confidence in our Union. Say we want to go with a national Union. Teamsters. I’m using them as an example. Big union with deep pockets. What’s the advantage of disadvantage to this? Is it possible? Just asking cause I dont know and am wondering. Someone school me!!
I give them credit for not running away like everyone else has. Hes not convicted of anything and they have supported him in the past so why not continue?
With everybody and their brother currently on an anti police rant this bonehead thought it prudent to do this?
Do it publicly and do it now??
Really???
Wow. Just wow.
FOP endorses a guy who helped make it where we have to do a DUI test as part of are random drug testing!
Really... they got 12 steps for ya buddy if blowing in a breathe machine during random is a problem
Just like chicago, our votes go to the highest bidder.
Burke will take a plea he will not spend the money for a defense Fuck Him !
What about Chico for mayor?

If that's the case does everyone remember how Pat Murray campaigned using his video endorsement from Chairman Ed Burke? Murray is attached at the hip to Burke. Please tell me Marty Prieb is not dumb enough to align himself with this shit show?
I thought the FOP was not in the Poiitcal Action bidness anymore.
To top it off, it took a corrupt and crooked Danny Solis to wear a wire to snag Burke.
I’m searching for old FOP endorsements for Solis...far as I’m concerned now, he earned a past PAC plug.
Just what has Ed Burke done for the Police anyway?
Let me tell you;
Many whom were injured on the job, “while on duty” (not Line of Duty) for at least the last 15 years or more, are routinely denied the Workman’s Comp benefit and are then required to submit the claim to BCBS. It becomes the members responsibility for the medical bills, out of pocket, medications, therapy and deductibles because Burke’s Finance Dept controls the pay outs.
Wasn’t that bad long ago when deductibles were $300 a yr. and copays were just $5-10.
FOP would see no benefit on a whole from the biased 47 City Council in these times, not to mention anytime prior to Rahm.
What is the basis for an FOP endorsement?
A Burke council vote on our behalf would only be symbolic.
Burke had voted 100% with Rahm his entire time, including $23 mil just for first year 2019 Consent Decree funding.
Most of City Council wants to restructure, manipulate, dismantle FOP - that’s no secret.
Anyone recall what Burke’s thoughts on the MadigRahm Consent Dupe?
Always Remember: FOP PAC endorsed both Madigroin’s for office, more than once. The logic was “it’s better to have a friend in Springfield”. How do like the Madigroin’s now ?
Stay out of endorsing, maybe that’s the 1950’s that GMcMac is talking about.
More so now that JB eau d’Toillette wants pension amendments.
YOU boys don't vote in FOP elections,Mayoral and aldermanic.
Do you honestly believe that typing on the internet wins elections.
Alot of you dont even have your college age kids vote. I know because its on the democratic parties computer and it shows when you vote not who you vote for.
You voted for a guy who said he llived on his moms sofa as FOP president!
A foot guy with under 400 arrest????
IMPRESSIVE. Now i am supposed to think that people that don't vote know anything about politics.
Keep on pretending you vote it impresses the guys at the softball league.
Burge was caught up in a perjury trap that had nothing to do with anything. Van Dyke was wrongfully convicted. Burketo was always a crook and always will be.
Follow the money..... Because it's ALWAYS about the money....
Burke, who is a licensed private detective always carries concealed.But, it must be tough driving yourself after all these years
Graham is so full of shit! A good example is the attorney for van dyke. The FOP said they were cutting ties with Herbert but he still has articles in the fop newspaper advertising his law firm!
FOP endorses a guy who helped make it where we have to do a DUI test as part of are random drug testing!
So? Don't come to work drunk and it won't be an issue.
Pick another battle - there's plenty of B.S. to call Burke and the FOP out on. Not this.
Burge and Van Dyke are police officers doing their jobs. We (FOP) are police officers. Burke is a politician making himself and friends wealthy.That’s the difference you morons.
Look at the council how many are not bastardizing police? Sorry but disagree we need Burke or do you want chuys choice a 28 year old kid who will accomplish nothing except to jump on the we hate police bandwagon! Sorry sticking with Burke! Kevin made a wise choice we have contracts and pension to worry about and we need some support!
I wonder if “gotta run and spend time with my family” Zalewski had conversations with Solis? 🤔
So once again what's the problem?
1/23/2019 06:57:00 AM
Troll or Millennial?
Burge was convicted of perjury and obstruction of justice. Not once for beating or violating civil rights of the convicted criminals getting released or payed out by the city.
Van Dyke is a political pawn to appease the radical left, to both codify liberal media fairytale of a code of silence among blue shirts, and justify payouts to chosen law firms. Where is the premeditated malice in responding to a call for help by other officers and doing what he thought was right to do under the stress of facing an armed habitual criminal offender?
Both Burge and JVD were accused of crimes while engaged in police related activity. Which is why the union pays for the defense.
Burke is accused of his using his political office, we aren't paying for his defense.
Your comparison is like comparing a steak to tofu.
from Tribune:"Ald. Susan Sadlowski Garza, 10th, said she was dismayed by the story about Burke and Solis. “I come from a world where we work together side by side,” Garza said. “I just never expected that, I really didn’t. We’re supposed to be colleagues.”
Sounds a lot like a Code of Silence
Hey FOP.
Get sober. Rescind the high-five for this criminal.
Dan the man Solis. What did the FEDS find on you I wonder that made you "co-operate" in wearing a wire. Or did you just do it out of the kindest of your own heart?
Furthermore, FOP 7 needs to stop funneling money to these corrupt Democrats.
- Democratic Majority - Chairman Madigan ($3000 4/2018) and it’s a annual contribution too!
- Cullerton ($3000 10/2018)
- Kwamie Raoul ($500 6/2018)
and a quite few others of the party of taxation and Sanctuary entitlement.
Oh, $250 to Republican State Senate Committee 9/2017
Source: Illinois Sunshine.org.
Solis has been under a federal investigation since 2014 and has been cooperating ever since. Hes a thieving bastard too. This is going to bring down a lot of people. Hopefully this will finally reduce the number of aldermen. Their own greed was ultimately their demise and should see several of them behind bars!
apparently alderman solis never saw the movie " goodfellows"

What are Burke's "bodyguards" (go fer"s) doing now?
Where are they???
You guys really need to go to a meeting..you elect the board to represent you and then challenge the way they do it..rhe.board has a political action committee and and legislative committee who make recommendation to the board. Learn the rules..
From Politico:
Preckwinkle's new poll was commissioned by SEIU Illinois Local 1. Public Policy Polling, a Democratic automated polling firm, surveyed 798 Chicago voters from Jan. 18-20. The poll found Preckwinkle "is in the lead with 15% of Chicago voters supporting her," according to a poll memo released to POLITICO. Bill Daley was second with 12 percent; Gery Chico had 11 percent; Wilson, 10 percent; Paul Vallas and Susana Mendoza each got 9 percent; Lori Lightfoot, 8 percent, and Garry McCarthy and Amara Enyia had 6 and 4 percent, respectively. But 17 percent were "undecided."
Ald. Roderick Sawyer (6th), chairman of the City Council’s Black Caucus, said getting wired up to snare colleagues is “not the way I was brought up.”
“Where I come from, if you wore a wire, someone’s gonna kick your ass,” said Ald. Matt O’Shea (19th), whose Southwest Side ward is home to scores of Chicago Police officers.
Ald. Carrie Austin (34th), the always outspoken Budget Committee Chairman, was suddenly speechless when asked to comment about Solis.
“Not about Danny. I might cry,” Austin said. “You don’t do that. You just don’t.”
Rules Committee Chairman Michelle Harris (8th) offered a variation on Don Corleone’s infamous admonishment to his son in the movie, “The Godfather”: “Don’t take sides against the family.”
Ald. Gilbert Villegas (36th), chairman of the Hispanic Caucus, called Solis’ extraordinary role as an FBI mole a “betrayal” of the entire Hispanic community.
These are the same assholes who think the CPD has a code of silence?
They are bullying Solis and advocating for him to keep his mouth shut. I cant believe these guys are openly telling him to not to do anything about corruption.
Imagine if Riccio, Johnson or Staples told Police Officers not to wear wires or tell of corruption witnessed by fellow P.O.'s!
This is the REAL code of silence.
What are you going to do about it media? This should be national news, outwardly disparaging a man for exposing corruption
I've seen it all now.
This city is seen as a joke to the rest of the nation, and they're right.
I'm sorry, I don't recall getting any mailing from the FOP regarding who "WE" should endorse. Who the _uck are they saying who we endorse or who we don't

before everyone loses their minds over a political endorsement, Maybe there is a good reason why they did endorse him. a lot of mud being slung here, lets cool off here and see how this plays out. lets not lose the bigger picture. dont think we have anything to lose. if burke loses we probably get nothing out of the socialist/progressive that are challenging him. i give FOP credit for having balls to do it when anybody else would turn and run away.
Good to see Burke can now sit next to another do nothing a$$hole from the 13th ward. Quinn has done nothing for his ward since taking office except for Big Mike’s biding.
FOP had some wins recently, JVD will be out in 3.5 years, no thanks to his attorney. i simply think the judge felt sorry, and had mercy on him. if Burke is an ally or friend of lodge 7 then you stick with your friends. fuck what these people think. we have to do for us.
all these guys bitching on here are the guys who cannot get elected. divide and conquer.
exactly what the city wants.
Your all fools if you do not opt out. Hurt them in the only thing that will enact change their pocketbook. The new laws allows you to opt out. What has the union do on your behalf in the last several years other than a few pizzas, some golf and providing JVD with a stellar legal mind? Stop supporting them financially. Burke , Madigan and probably Prickwinkle.

Get real. He was endorsed by FOP #7 in the past. Why walk away from him now? Innocent until proven guilty is how it is suppose to go. Remember, he is a longtime survivor. What if he walks on this current hiccup? Why insult him and make an enemy of him? No fan of KG here, but he did the smart thing on this one.

I guess this is what we get when we elect a board full of retiree sellouts that have only ever looked out for themselves. Time to decertify and form a new union of POLICE OFFICERS ONLY. People that are actually working and have some skin in the game should do our contract. Not "disabled" midgets and Lincolnshire dwellers. Enough already.

The right thing to do, was not done here, and casts serious doubt on the lodge president. He has been silent on many issues. This silence now speaks volumes about his loyalties.

Get real. He was endorsed by FOP #7 in the past. Why walk away from him now? Innocent until proven guilty is how it is suppose to go. Remember, he is a longtime survivor. What if he walks on this current hiccup? Why insult him and make an enemy of him? No fan of KG here, but he did the smart thing on this one.

Go fuck yourself you fucking prick hack. Ed Burke is, has and will be dirty until the day he dies. Hopefully Solis’ rat behavior brings a couple more pricks down and into federal custody. Fuck Solis too!!!
I could never support a crook like Burke and don’t care that he’s only been charged. This guy has been making millions off the taxpayers and his tax appeals scam. Time to stop supporting FOP clowns too.
From Politico:
Preckwinkle's new poll was commissioned by SEIU Illinois Local 1. Public Policy Polling, a Democratic automated polling firm, surveyed 798 Chicago voters from Jan. 18-20. The poll found Preckwinkle "is in the lead with 15% of Chicago voters supporting her," according to a poll memo released to POLITICO. Bill Daley was second with 12 percent; Gery Chico had 11 percent; Wilson, 10 percent; Paul Vallas and Susana Mendoza each got 9 percent; Lori Lightfoot, 8 percent, and Garry McCarthy and Amara Enyia had 6 and 4 percent, respectively. But 17 percent were "undecided."

The numbers add to 101%. Or, were you rounding up?
This is the brain trust charged with securing our pensions, pay raises and benefits in the “on going” contract negotiations. We are in trouble
Hi Uncle Eddy,It's Amanda, Can you make me a Merit Lietanant before you lose your clout and go to jail.
Marty Quinn is a totally useless piece of shit if there ever was one ! He's Madigan fucking errand boy ! Time to vote this Motherfucker Out!
The FOP should NEVER endorse anyone.
That just proves the FOP's corruption.

And who else would SEIU support?
Another bullshit poll with skewed results.
Well now, that move by FOP removes all doubt we may have had on their loyalties. Not to us.
"i give FOP credit for having balls to do it when anybody else would turn and run away."
Absolute bullshit. Twist things around enough like this and you can justify anything. Having balls would be to say enough is enough and walk away. Apparently honor and integrity mean nothing to FOP and their supporters.
How about no more retirees on the board. Term limits. Some of these guys Bella Donahue to name a few have been around too long.
When is Arena going down ?
Hey FOP,
Admit you made a mistake, rescind the endorsement, & throw Fast Eddie under the bus!

So i have a question seeing as the last couple FOP elections have been disasters and we can’t seem to agree about anything. And I’m asking for pros and cons as I don’t know what this would entail or the benefits or the downside to what I’m about to ask. Say we have lost confidence in our Union. Say we want to go with a national Union. Teamsters. I’m using them as an example. Big union with deep pockets. What’s the advantage of disadvantage to this? Is it possible? Just asking cause I dont know and am wondering. Someone school me!!

FOP= city influenced, Teamsters= Mob influenced. Here endeth the lesson.

Teamsters tried it years ago and did an all out attack. Spent plenty of money and time. Officers voted against them. They will not be coming back.
Go fuck yourself you fucking prick hack. Ed Burke is, has and will be dirty until the day he dies. Hopefully Solis’ rat behavior brings a couple more pricks down and into federal custody. Fuck Solis too!!!

Nothing, but a hateful, insulting, filthy dirty response. It is an earmark of low intelligence. Take a chill pill. Remember, it's business, not personal.

Tried to years ago. Teamster spent a lot of time and money to unseat theFOP. Members of the union voted to keep the FO

Hey bud, guess what? They are all dirty in one way or the other.
Getting your private dicks License and then getting some cronie with a chickenshit security company to put you on the rolls has always been one of the work arounds for the clouted to pack chrome while denying citizens the same rights. Decade after decade this has been done, the old Ladies at bus stops get robbed and killed but not the alder creatures and their "Have Gun Will Travel" act.
All of you who have bought that gun control shit are suckers. Or even worse, Democrats.
a couple things to ponder. other unions have gone to court here and prevailed on the new changes. if you leave your bargaining unit they dont have to let you back in if you have a change of heart later. thats how they are dealing with the free riders.theoretically if thefop got a 3% raise maybe the free riders wouldnt get anything. also the massive teamsters central states pension fund is bancrupt and collapsing now. could be one of those pension domino theory things. a senate commitee is holding hearings on that now. best thing to do right now is reform fop and hold their feet to the fire. good luck.
The FOP made endorsements for several aldermanic candidates that are pro-police . They include Ariel Reboyras , Nick Sposato , Anthony Napolitano , James Gardner and Thomas Schwartzers to name a few . Alderman Burke was endorsed prior to the indictment and the main purpose of this is to benefit their members . Who was the PAC supposed to endorse ? How bout someone who is a police hater left wing commie ? Wake up ! U have members of the Fop board who are pushing a candidate who is an Elmwood Park fireman against Anthony Napolitano . Makes me wanna puke
As bad as when former Pres. Nolan in 1995 endorsed Marge Laurino over one of our own. He did it when her whole family including the dad was under indictment.

Not so sure of that. Po’s haven’t had a very good record of electing union officers. I’m sure if the Teamsters felt like you they would make an effort to unionize the police
