Consent Decree Signed
- Chicago survived three tumultuous years with the topic of police reform front-and-center — years that saw a federal investigation of its police department and the prosecution of one of its officers for murder.
Now, a federal judge has taken a historic step in a city where relations between the police and community have long been strained. U.S. District Judge Robert Dow approved Thursday a long-awaited consent decree meant to govern police reform.
And he ended his order with three striking words: “Let us begin.”
“The court is under no illusion that this will be an easy process,” Dow wrote. “It took a long time to get to this place, and it may take a long time to get out of it.”
It took a long time to get the public to even believe there was a problem, because just about everything hinted at wasn't tried in a court, wasn't based in any sort of reality, and was painted with the broadest possible brush by leftist agitators:
- Burge? never a scintilla of evidence tying him to actual torture - just reports based on innuendo, falsified recollections and manufactured evidence. There are maybe one hundred cops left on the job who even worked during the Burge years, yet we're all paying a price;
- "Code of Silence"? We can name thirty or forty cops who have served or are serving time after being criminally convicted - that some "code" that sends cops to prison. What is amazing is how few of the politically connected ever face responsibility for their misdeeds in proportion for how much they cost taxpayers in civil judgements;
- Shootings? CPD ends up being involved in under one-tenth of one percent of all shootings and an even smaller percentage of fatal encounters. There isn't (and never has been) some sort of "epidemic" of officer involved shootings, here or nationwide. It's a bullshit narrative.
So pardon us if we don't celebrate with Rahm the official death of policing in Chicago. The price will be paid in blood by the "community" who believed the years of lies for an agenda they think is real.

Let the good times roll!
Fop failed us.
FOP ought to run to federal court with any “merit” promotion and show the federal judge what a real political problem they created. The only way to change a culture is to do away with political promotions.
So we have COPA whose boss said to lie on officers to falsely get them in trouble and COPA has been falsely accusing officers because they have no idea or knowledge of laws officers use every day. we have corrupt judges that gangs brag about owning that rule no probable cause on all gun arrest and search warrants. we have anti white/anti police politicians that would rather see the citizens of Chicago suffer in gang violence than support the police. we have crooked anti police cook county state attorney supervisors with rap sheets longer than the guys we arrest. we have a media that spreads lies and does not cover the truth in an attempt to sell newspapers and ratings. Chicago police department are the only ones combatting the street gangs. officers need continue to believe in yourself and continue to do the right thing like we always do. not everyone is against us. most citizens every day in all neighborhoods black, Hispanic and white appreciate what we do. The anti police/pro criminals just happen to be the ones in front of a camera, they don't represent the majority of citizens.
From his the Vallas FB page.
"The Consent Decree is an indictment of the Emanuel Administration and Garry McCarthy's leadership as CPD Superintendent. It mandates common sense practices that already exist in any major Police Department and were neglected by both of them. They lacked the knowledge of what a modern large city police dept needs in terms of staffing, training, org & support to be both effective & accountable. Much of what is in the Decree should have been implemented through action,budget prioritization & effective leadership."

Yet, in South Dakota law abiding people don't even need a permit to carry a weapon anymore!
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/south-dakota-becomes-latest-state-to-allow-concealed-handguns-without-permit
I'll bet that South Dakota is a very safe state to live and better than Illinois!
And, our union lost their appeal in the appellate court today too, saying they had a year to intervene.
Kevin Graham, I knew you from new 019. I voted for you, as I found the last crew to be ineffective. I gave you the benefit of the doubt a few times, early on, in the past two years. What I have seen is total incompetency from this regime, much like the last, and I guarantee I will not vote for anyone from this crew either. You guys have shown us nothing. Do us all a favor, and take a page from the 9.5 fingered hobgoblin, and don’t run again. Don’t come out to roll calls this time next year, and try to court our vote. Don’t send your minions out, giving half-assed answers, or the “we’ll get back to you” line. For a while now, there have been a few people saying that we should get rid of FOP, get a different organization, get the Teamsters, etc..I used to say, “no, we can’t do that.”. Now, to be honest, I think it’s got to be a better option than what I’ve seen from this organization these last 15-20yrs. People wonder why morale is in the dumper. Can’t get a day off, the ridiculousness of the promotional process, asshole bosses still demanding numbers and pulling their nonsense if they don’t get their way, endorsements of know corrupt politicians...and that’s just the start of it. Now, we have a consent decree that you could’ve opposed, but you waited too long. Great strategy. I can’t wait to see what is next.
From this police officer to the innocent sector of the community I say. Good Luck.
Let us officially move now from the discreet and understood saying of "Stay Fetal" to the open, honest and more direct phrase of ...
DON'T DO SHIT!
I feel sorry for people that have to live in Chicago. Worked (?) 31 years, retired in 2012. Just about the next day sold our house, and moved to a calmer Red state, the old Indian Territories. A shocking lack of diversity is the only drawback…heh.
Spent the first 52 years of my life in Chicago,had great times in a once great city, and I didn't want to watch it devolve into Detroit. Thought I would be there forever, but the democrat operatives section8 garbage was the tipping point, had to get out. We are happy and content and shop and visit and chat with a whole bunch of nice people. And nobody is spitting on the sidewalks when you walk by.
This 'consent decree' forced on us by obama will have more ill effect on the city, and the citizens' quality of life. Good luck to you all that have to be there!
There still will be idiots chasing people on foot and involved in vehicle pursuits.
Half·wits.
So how many times do people tell you, don't stick your neck out, don't chase, don't stop, don't get involved, don't be a hero. No matter how well intentioned you are any proactive action you take could land you in prison or the loss of your assets.
Go out there and go get ‘em young bucks! See what’s waiting for you behind mystery door #2!
Hopefully 100 years from now the legacy of the Oblamo administration will not only be the most corrupt administration in the history of America, but the beginning of the war on police! Race relations and the division of America should fall on only one lap! Back to the bathhouse with you, bitch!
Does this mean the end to the scam of "merit" promotions?
Also mean the end to the BS coverups when bosses are routinely let off the hook?
Wait and see !!
The authors of this consent decree were never the police, never humped a beat car, never took a police report, never pinched anyone. This will be the bible and template for our reform. The chicago police department does not need reform. What needs reform are certain people in this city who gang bang, shoot people, sell drugs, and steal. It's ironic that the keepers of the peace are being reformed and the thugs who are creating the mayhem just get to continue carte blanche.
Policing is dead in Chicago. Please guys...go to your jobs, either code them out or give them there stupid piece of paper, back each other up, go home and wait for the 1st and the 16th. Fuck the numbers bullshit, fuck the bosses, fuck the courts, The public got what they want, hands off policing. Looking forward to summer, "Oh, you've been robbed? Carjacked? beaten? Shot? Let me get your RD#...see ya, lunch is waiting.
What about the code of silence in the community? Or how about the code of silence in the Catholic Church, the news rooms across the country and with the elected officials....etc
Just let the dice roll...
Give them what they want. No more proactive policing.
Answer your calls nothing more.
Cliff notes: http://chicagopoliceconsentdecree.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Illinois-v.-Chicago-Final-Consent-Decree-with-signatures.pdf
Firearm:
Policy of when officers should and should not point a firearm at a person.
-clarify that officers will only point a firearm at a person when objectively reasonable & it must be documented
When Officer points firearm-the OEMC Notified CPD sgt will ensure that the ISRs, arrest and case reports & body-worn camera is promptly reviewed and in accordance with CPD policy.
Then:
headquarters will review everything and....
-identify whether the pointing of the firearm at a person allegedly violated CPD policy
-identify any patterns, tactical, equipment, training, or policy concerns
-make appropriate referrals for misconduct investigations or other corrective actions for alleged violations of CPD policy.
-issue a written notification (report) of its findings and actions taken
‘TRR investigations’
Level 2/3 use of force incidents (anything other then escort hold basically):
the responding supervisor (sgt) will at a minimum:
- identifying witnesses & document their identities and statements in a written report.
-gather and preserve evidence, request ET photos, medical care
And -review all the reports regarding the incident
Then the reviewing supervisor (Watch Lt)will conduct an investigation into the use of force incident by reviewing all reports, video or audio recordings, witness statements, photographs and other evidence.
Also the Lt will document any CPD members on scene who are reasonably believed to be witnesses on a report
-officers must recognize and act upon the duty to intervene on the subject’s behalf when another officer is using excessive force.
Extra:
-All CPD officers receive LEMART training and are required to provide life-saving aid consistent with their LEMART training to (Use of force) injured persons (offenders) as soon as it is safe and feasible to do so until medical professional.
Have all the politicians who have security and/or are allowed to carry firearms and other civil servants(other than the police or corrections officers)turn in their firearms,put their security back in a beat car etc.and if these same people have a security problem,have them call 911 and request the police.Give them the service they deserve and make sure they follow all procedures and abide by their consent decree.Let the feds continue to uncover and help if you can uncover the code of silence of the criminal behavior of the alderpeople and folks and all the other politicians and judges,etc,and their code of silence.
Yet in spite of this tact will still be lights/sirens to jobs, foot chasing, etc because they are sweating going back to the uniform and beat car. Guys will still be doing T/S and writing tickets because they are sweating their beat car (lol), partner or start time and of course the 20% on 2nd watch who need days and will still be humping.
I don't know why anyone does anything anymore unless a radio assignment or on view that's compelling.
Ok, now get your shine boxes (aka TSSS and ISRs).
As long as you are out there doing work for “a boss” who is trying to get their next lane jump promotion you will be protected. So, just go out there and do some T stops, lock up a few, drop some parkers, and write a couple of movers and you will be ok.
Policing dead in Chicago, that’s some funny shit. One would think it is after the continual demozation and restrictions put on us. But that’s not the case. You will still have idiots on this job doing street stops, car chases, foot chases, and bullshit arrests in order to remain in a unit or blue jeans. If we all stick together no policing should be done by us until the politicians and good citizens of this city backs us up and publicly show that they understand that we are the good guys and not the criminals.
With the decree I hope there’s step by step training on how to deal with a LaQuann type situation, I’m thinking, stay about 75 feet away and let give the dispatcher a play by play description. Also a realignment of Officers, Number of people living in a district = number of Officers assigned there, simple math.
Rahm celebrated at the bathhouse last night. He had to celebrate all by himself, if you catch my drift.,
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Will the consent decree help with us using our accrued comp time, I mean we should be able to get a day off when needed.
How about us guys down here in Florida. We had to suffer through 60 degree weather Tuesday.
It won't take 100 years for Oblowhole and his administration to be exposed. He pulled off the biggest scam on America ever!!
kevin I voted for you. you let all of your blue family down just because you wanted to look out for #1. you are a big disappointment. You are just like the rest of those lying bastards. GO FUCK YOURSELF YOU NO BALLS HAVING PUNK!
Yes there’s a code of silence in this country. It starts with Hilary Clinton’s campaign, Robert Muller and his witch hunt that has spent 10’s of millions of dollars and has found no Russian collusion. It’s in Illinois at Springfield with Madigan and Cullerton ruling the state with an iron fist and dicatating who gets what jobs and contracts all while enriching themselves their families and running the state of Illinois into the ground. It continues to the City of Chicago where you have a Mayor who’s only interested in enriching friends and business partners through huge tax breaks that he will surely someday profit from if he hasn’t already. A Mayor who covers up anything that might make him look bad or loose an election. And as we have all been saying for years it’s in the Chicago City Council. Burke making millions off of tax work and extorting “campaign contributions” from legitimate businessmen. Solis selling out anything he could for cash, Viagra and sex with prostitutes. (How is this guy still in office). Prewinkle and Mendoza who call themselves reformers but are financed and directed by the Machince of Burke and the Daley’s. OConnor changing zoning to anyone who will give real estate work to his wife which has made the couple millions over his career. The list goes on. The common factor here is all Democrats just trying to help people and doing what’s right. But don’t look over there remember the police in this country are the problem and we have to string them up and hold them accountable.
Retired guy here, FOP needs to be dumped and a real bargaining unit with no inside interests like Teamsters or MAPP need to be voted in. Keep your FOP membership for golf outings and social stuff but for legal stuff and bargaining they are USELESS.
Obama and rahm got their consent decree and they both will move away leaving this city in shit.
FUCK RAHM!! Show up take your radio calls go home safe to your family!
I saw we cops should have the last laugh.... let me be very clear, STOP CHASING NUMBERS, it ain't worth it. If you're on the medical/IOD, milk it, a white shirt gives a passionate speech at roll call about compstat and this and that... just roll eyes. This is the dept they wanted, well let's give it to them. I hear of Netflix and chill, how about Netflix and shield! That's when cops don't shit and watch movies.
The permanent victim class has won in exchange for democratic votes and free shit for the community.
As a civilian who resides in Jefferson Park, I have to say The Chicago Police are the absolute FINEST in the entire nation. I simply cannot believe the hoops you have to jump through just to do your job. Damned politicians and judges are so corrupt and idiotic they treat criminals better than law-abiding citizens who respect our Police. To show my devotion to the CPD, I have become a member of the Chicago Police Memorial Foundation and have actually purchased vests for our Officers. Like myself, there are citizens out there who stand by our Police and are so grateful that you keep us safe. Thank you!
What about the code of silence in city hall?? The code among the alderthieves. The ones who are mortified that one of their own would wear a wire against them. That is where it all starts.
And in a year, when all these southpaws start testing the waters for president in 2020, do NOT forget Eric Holder, of Fast and Furious fame, held in contempt of Congress, that perpetuated the fiction of the "gentle giant Michael Brown" and the "Hands up don't shoot" fiction and the launched investigations without substantiation police departments across the country. This asshole, above the law and obviously much smarter than all of us, is thinking about running for president. The fractious republicans had better get their shit together because this Soros funded mob is turning this country into an anything goes Babylon. Remember them all, Feinstein, Schumer, DURBIN, Cuomo and all these scumbags that helped create the world our kids will have to live in long after all of us are gone.
Now, a federal judge has taken a historic step in a city where relations between the police and community have long been strained.
In others words the minority criminals, if apprehended, are now the victims of the racist police and shall be paid handsomely...
Who gives a fuxk! Just makes my job even easier.. cmon people, the city doesnt want you to do shit so why try to fight it. If this was corporate america and your supervisor told you not to do half your work you’d be rejoicing. As long as it doesn’t affect the 01,16,22 and my pension obligation I can care less !
Been a long time coming now. The warnings have been out for a few years now. There is no more policing like it used to be. Any boss who pushes numbers these days was never never the police or a clueless asshole. It’s easy to tell your troops to do the work and make you look good while you just sit back and are not personally involved. Fuck them. Give them nothing let them get their own numbers. Is working in blue jeans that important to you? The community and the radical leftists have spoken. They don’t want you to intervene on their problems. They can deal with all the gun violence and drugs themselves. They have stripped away our protections and tools to do the job effectively so why would continue to risk yourself. Toni Preckwinkle wants Officers charged with a misdemeanor if shitbag arrestees don’t get 3 phone calls! This the kind of rhetoric promised and used to stir up her voters! Nary a fucking word of the almost 500 missing Electronic Monitoring ‘inmates’ who have cut their bracelets and are out there committing crime in her county. A miserably failed program introduced by her incompetent sheriff friend Tom Dart as a response to her ‘too many brown and black people in jail theory’. Lol. The sad thing is that the people who push the police reform for the most part are not the majority. They are deluded white liberals who have no bases in reality of the streets who are merely following a sensational media narrative designed to sell or black power extreme radicals who think the institution of the police should be abolished. Unfortunately they are the loudest and their shouts have been answered by Springfield. Our impotent union apparently has no shouting ability. So...Answer your calls safely, back each other up. That’s it. Sit comfortably in your car sipping your coffee and laugh at the circus. 1st and 16th baby.
I hope Rahm and Mr . Wheezie didn’t hurt theirselves patting each other on the back.
Pandering assholes.
Does this mean that all promotions and hires are to be reviewed by the federal judge, like when judge Prentiss Marshal was in charge?
Did Burke put the new overlord judge in office too?
Since the community is going to be in charge, will the Police be required to sing koombyeyall?
It’s like something from the 1960’s. Next the rev.s will be demanding access to excellence, and giving out promotions to their flock, because only people of color can Police people of color.
Or it could be the best thing to ever happen! ;)
Rahm’s parting FU. He figures if that JVD cost him future elections.
Thank you ACLU,RAHM,LISA MADIGAN,KIM FOX,AND CPD....All anti police politicians and organization for destroying CPD !!!!!
Anything about community reform?
Does the CD cover the execution of 8 year olds in the alley by ghetto rats? What page is that on?
"CPD ends up being involved in under one-tenth of one percent of all shootings and an even smaller percentage of fatal encounters."
It is even lower when one actually counts the number of shots fired by CPD / number of shots fired by the Community. About 0.01 %...
Soviet Democratic Chicago, where the investigations, suspensions, firings, and jailings of cops will continue until morale improves.
Stay safe.
First rule of problem solving---clearly state the problem. That has yet to happen. What's been stated are symptoms of a problem, not the problem itself.
All symptoms point back to incompetent CPD leadership due to political promotions/inbreeding and excessive micromanagment by the mayor.
And now this, which will accomplish nothing. Ever tried pushing a chain? Have much luck with it? How's that compare with pulling one?
The old saying, "Those who fail to learn from the past are doomed to repeat it," has never been more true.
Don't do shit!
Give them what they want. No more proactive policing
Answer your calls nothing more.
===========
Is what you should always have been doing. "Proactive policing" is just a different way to say "unconstitutional policing". The courts have become pretty clear over the years that a lot of these practices just are no longer acceptable.
Nothing says you can't go after people actually committing crimes. You just can't go after people because you have some vague suspicion or just for the heck of it.
Just wait until it gets warmer outside..the city will look like the tet offensive. They have no “ politically acceptable “ solutions to crime. This is just another bullshit diversion from reality. The police are not the problem. Who will they blame next?
When will we finally get federally mandated City Hall and City Council reform??
Oh wait BLM and their ilk couldn’t care less about City Hall corruption and graft.... they’re only concern is “reforming” the evil white police.
There still will be idiots chasing people on foot and involved in vehicle pursuits.
============
Car chases are usually a terrible idea. Putting the public at risk over trivial crap is a horrible judgement call.
Foot chases are a different matter. As long as you are chasing someone who is reasonably suspected of having committed a crime, and you do it in a safe way, you won't get hung up. Keep in mind it is not illegal to run away from cops. Nor is it a lawful order to tell someone to stop just for running away.
“Community” reform is right around the corner right? Right??
We need to get behind one Canidate for Mayor,Prepwinkle and Lightfoot Hate the Police,If they get it It will be a Disaster, They will have the ACLU run CPD.
Not to get into whataboutism, but, what about the "Code of Silence" with the aldercreatures? All I hear from them is "I can't believe he wore a wire!"
My take on this shit, I'm 15yrs from retirement, so I will be practicing to retire by being fetal for that time period. I will be going back to school to get my BA. Putting my energy in other places to make my life better is my first priority; that being said, fuck this job.
Will never get too see some many police retired while on duty. It's gonna be GREAT. Now can I get 10000 marbles.
The idiots in 003 1st watch, will still chase dude for traffic and bring in those numbers to get a gold star on the bulletin board and wear jeans lolol
Go fetal, stay fetal.
Too many fallen officers now.
Officers going to jail for doing their jobs.
I want to know is where are the Chicago Police Department police officers on the CTA in the evening, for example the Jackson Red and Blue line stations and the train cars?
All of us can't carry guns and flash a gun to get someone to back off or just shoot anyone that harasses us, we couldnt afford a lawyer after such an event.
A CTA transit patrol is desperatly needed especially in the evening on the CTA between 6PM and 12AM.
I detest criminal scum as much as you CPD police officers do and have been a victim of crime myself.
I completly agree there should be NO fking "consent degree".
But we do need a larger more visable CPD Transit Detail, many of us citizens rely on public transportation and need a police presence.
NO consent degree
YES police protections
I know many of you will just laugh, scoff and role your eyes at this comment.
It is perfectly normal to be cynical, tired and angry after being targeted by the ACLU and those who "can't relate" that are not in law enforcement.
But your presence is needed.
Law and order is needed, to hell with criminal scum losers.
Thank you for putting your lives on the line everday you are out there.
Just an average law abidding citizen.
Thank you again. Be safe out there.
Listen guys, you must understand:
There was NEVER a reason for a Consent Decree, and further remember AG Sessions refused the DOJ in participating in Obama’s DOJ farce.
This is nothing more than a Big parting F*** YOU to every member of the Chicago Police Dept. from the Democratic Ballerina that was in way over his head. Emmanuel has been a political flunkey his whole life, he never had a real job and a kid running a paper stand has made more business decisions than this Clinton boot licker.
But remember this, not one of all the UNQUALIFIED B.S. Exempts had the courage to denounce. They all nod just their heads up and down whenever the idiot Supt. Fenner, or the Ballerina speaks.
History will record these 2 INEPT UNQUALIFIED clowns as the WORST EVER!!!
The consent decree was all part of the obama master plan, nothing more.
This will bastardize into far worse as time goes on. Expect continued lawlessness from the feral and even the elected.
Rahm, DrRev SpecialEd PhD and baby jane Madgroin wanted their legacy on parchment and got it, but Kwwamaté will get his hancock on that final document and eternally preserved eventually in the costly yet barren, obama lieberry.
The global plan is to disarm citizens and eventually the police.
Working fine throughout Europia ain’t it.
Oh and FatBack SpecialEd today is on a Crimes is Down Tour and promoting his successes and not the cold.
Stay Fetal.

Very, very well put, SSC. As a person who misses the great city of Chicago, I had the freedom to leave it. You courageous gentlemen (and women) who stay to try to "serve and protect" are amazing. Please stay safe, and retire as soon as you can.
What a bunch of bullshit! How about changing the way the public act toward the police? There’s a thought
Kevin Graham made a big stink about Mike Shields not mailing the letter. Now the courts say Graham waited too long to intervene in the consent decree. Hopefully the state FOP will do the right thing and fire him like they did Shields. It only seems fair.
So with this consent decree, they won what exactly?
It's all about the "win," right?
Perpetual Aggrievement won, right?
Progressivism and all that's bundled with it won, right?
What is it that they "won" against The Police?
There is no on who has been able yet to definitively
state what was won with this consent decree?
No weasel words...
No slippery syntax...
No finely minced word salad...
No lies by omission...
No tortured and skewed statistical voodoo conjure...
What was the win against The Police and Policing?
Can that winning strategy also be applied against
the breathtakingly violent and ungovernable actors
and the culture they issue from that is responsible
for the sheer savagery and butchery playing out on
the public places and byways of this city?
We pose that question because the powers that be
behind this consent decree do seem to be content
with the half measure of (mis-)addressing The
Police part of this equation and deliberately not
addressing the violent street criminal part of
this equation other than the insistence that more
precious tax-payer treasure bundled in the gift
wrap of Progressive feel-goodery will make bad
people/folks whose very lives embody the rejection
of the "Contract With Society" we are all tasked
with abiding by.
Yes... "Contract With Society."
That awkward thing that the Perpetually Aggrieved
Demographics loudly state does not apply to them
by virtue of their grievances real and imagined
and their insistence that those grievances somehow
be satisfied before they'll "allow" society to progress.
Barring that?
They and their Progressive enablers/supporters are
doing all they can to hold society hostage, if not
walk society to a standstill until society capitulates
to very uneven terms of unconditional surrender to THEM.
We have presented this argumentation to various people
on different occasions during our long, Law Enforcement
sojourn in this city...
North Side...
South Side...
West Side...
The confusion, fear and yes even utter revulsion
toward anything contrary to prevailing notions
was not only discernible but palpable as well.
Even from those who presented themselves as worldly,
educated, politically/culturally savvy and even those
who professed themselves "free" of any bias; the
reactions were the same.
(The ONLY person over all those years, who was able
to engage in reasonable, non-judgemental and best
of all free-wheeling dialog was an OLD SCHOOL WEST
SIDE PREACHER-MAN... Not some store-front svengali
but a real, Honest-to-God man of the cloth with a
Doctor of Divinity degree, a CPS educator and the
leader of a large congregation. R.I.P Good Sir)
Perhaps they were taken aback because a "big, strong,
brutal, racist, dumb, culturally unenlightened, blue
collar insular neighborhood dwelling Chicago Cop"
was presenting such to them?
(Never discount where a man's journey in life
may have taken him...)
Oh yeah... In regard to the "free of bias" thingy?
Anyone professing such is a damned liar...
"Bias," is endemic to and hard-wired in the human animal.
Any attempt to to dismiss/diminish such is a cynical
attempt to deny that which is not only human nature
but human nurture as well.
>Treasonous Progressive surrenderists blinking stupidly<
Anyways...
What is the win with a consent decree?
The appearance of having "won" looms large
with Progressives and the Perpetually Aggrieved
people/folkses in America's large, democrat run
urban centers.
Meanwhile?
The fratricidal ritual sacrifices occurring in
Perpetually Aggrieved communities continues to
take up quite a bit of bandwidth on the evening
and late night news.
They won what now?
Police Like You Have No Friends.
Look.
Point & Laugh.
Leave.
Consent Decree for Alderman the Real Crooks
Then here bullshit meter working overtime:
https://theblast.com/jussie-smollett-statement-attack/
Then again what more can you expect from a washed up actor beside lies?
The more that things change, the more they stay the same. This, from the papers /106/ years ago:
January 1, 1913 -- The Chicago Daily Tribune begins 1913 with this headline, “Murders Spread as Police Fail.” The city coroner reports that through December 1, 1912 there were 237 homicides in Cook County for the year, all but 14 of them inside the city. The city of London, according to the paper, “with a population three times that of Chicago, reported only thirty-three in 1910.” There were more murders in November than in any November in the preceding eight years. The coroner’s jury determined that 168 of the 297 homicides could be classified as murder. Of that number only 32 people had been convicted. The article states, “For years the public and the police have been talking about curbing the use of revolvers and the carrying of concealed weapons.” In fact, an ordinance was passed several years earlier that required dealers to report the sale of firearms and owners to register weapons that they purchased, but the ordinance was never seriously enforced and was repealed during 1912. Pessimistically, the paper observes, “If history repeats itself, it is a safe guess that the police will have the murderer and the evidence to convict him in about 20 per cent of the cases.”
Glad I’m retired
Don't foot chase,don't car chase,don't stop anyone. Just answer the radio and go to your calls. This is a new police department. The old days of doing law enforcement are gone. Stay safe and God Bless
6 more years and I'm maxed out. Let's see how long I can stand this place. Every years adds 2.5 percent to my pension. Every anniversary I do the math to see if I can afford to retire NOW. At 29 and a day, the pension stops increasing, and along with it, any little reason to stay stops also. Lord, give me the strength I need.
Madigan was the Attorney General for 16 years The State’s chief legal officer. According to her the CPD has been a bastion of brutality for decades. Why did it take her 15 1/2 years to file the consent decree suit? Did she choose to ignore it or was it never really there at all?
Reform for the beat guys who do traffic crashes and missing reports lol. We all know who needs the reform and a wake up call.
Give them the police department they so desperately want. With this new regime, anytime you'll need to use any force to effect the arrest it will be deemed excessive no matter how justified you think you are. You better exhaust all use of force tactics including retrieval before any force is used. They're not only looking to get you fired but will spend unlimited resources and provide fake witnesses(police haters)to take your freedom away.
Does the consent decree mandate the CPD and the Pension Board recognize PTSD as a valid and attainable CPD duty disability status?
If you can retire, I would. If you cant, keep your head down and good luck. If you are new to the job (1-5 years) come on out to the suburbs. Most of the departments have a lateral hire process, offer better pay, better equipment and uniforms and better benefits. The communities also support their police.

The son of indicted Chicago Ald. Ed Burke, Edward W. Burke Jr., was considered a "clear and present danger" by police last summer in Winnetka after he was arrested on suspicion of domestic battery.
According to police reports and 911 tapes, officers from Glencoe, Kenilworth and Winnetka were dispatched to his Elder Lane home around 5:15 a.m. on June 29 for a call that he was heard shouting profanities and breaking items around his house while "naked and highly intoxicated."
Burke Jr., 46, whose hiring by a leading candidate for mayor amid a misconduct investigation into his time working for the Cook County sheriff has become a political issue ahead of next month's election, continued to engage in "belligerent behavior" and yell at officers after being taken into custody, according to police and video from the back of a Winnetka squad car.
Police said a Kenilworth officer had encountered Burke earlier that evening, giving him a ride home around 1:45 a.m. after a friend called police to ask for help transporting Winnetka resident. Officers were told Burke awoke at home around 4:30 a.m. and began to destroy furniture and became verbally and physically aggressive toward a family member.
ssc I hope the condent degree addresses this along with eddie burke merit promotions
Vallas panders on whatever the topic of the day is. That Greek we have you to believe he's our savior but hes not. Look at who is endorsing him. No other than Fr Phlem.
FOP does not need to be dumped. The need is for the members to become more involved in THEIR union and elect officials who are going to be concerned about the officers and not their own political or personal agendas. We need LEADERS! People who are going to stand up, speak out, tell the truth and let the citizens of Chicago know of the political games, weak leadership, phony merit promotions and lack of respect for police officers. It does not matter what union you have. It matters what leaders you have.
As the protestors demanded “what do we want? dead cops!” well, there you have it. I'm glad I didn’t join the CPD, this ain’t my grandpappy’s police department.
There are at least 10,000 events every day in Chicago where the police encounter the public. Look at all the event numbers pulled every day. Police routinely handle situations effectively and professionally. And all the media can talk about is some made up BS about Burge from the early 80s and the JVD shooting which happened 5 years ago. Chicago media are truly masters of deception.
KM, GO,YC,AB, along with the rest of the 2 year wonders, under the guidance of “wrong door warrant” Sgt RJ, will continue shenanigans in the 003 district, consent decree or not. A bunch of heroes in their own minds
Why are officers up in arms over this?? The writing has been on the wall for years, don't do anything!!! This is just another reason to answer your jobs, cut paper, advise warrant and come up clear. Why in the hell are you out there being the so called REAL POLICE for anyways??? Collect the paycheck on the 1st, 16th and 22nd and let the city go up in flames. As long the data on my phone is unlimited, the Netflix is working and eating a nice big meal I will come continue to be a proud Dog and there isn't a damn thing the city can do about it. It makes me cringe when I hear these officers out there in car/foot chases, it doesn't impress anyone and you are only going to hurt you or your partner with the cowboy antics. Stop working, stop arresting, stop writing tickets and embrace the DOG lifestyle. It's the best thing going on the job. The working police are suckers!!!

Don't read this as anything but what it is. A candidate piggy backing onto a hot issue in order to use it as a platform to bash an opponent. If he, or any candidate, was a true supporter of police (ala. Jane Byrne), the consent decree would be renounced based solely on the ridiculousness of it, and the negative impact it will have on policing and thereby the citizens of Chicago. This was an opportunity to steer votes away from McCarthy and the other candidates who were part of the Rahm fan club. They're all politicians - not to be trusted. There is no good choice for this election. There's no such thing as the lesser of all evils.

One of the many sad parts of this farce, any “new” training will be in name only. The brain trust will lie through their tooth that training has improved and CPD is on the cutting edge if policing.
Here’s a hint for you farsighted media types, when a person like Eddie Johnson can become superintendent of police without seeking the job, that is an admission that nothing was being done correctly.
It’s not the Chicago Police Department that needed a consent decree. It’s every elected office in Chicago that needs it.

Off-Topic; Deputy Chief Carter is being looked at as a candidate for the position of Little Rock, Ark. Chief of Police.
When the consent decree was first brought into court Kevin Graham met with his attorneys and met with Lisa Madisgan and her minions . There were several members of the Fop who talked with Graham but he wasn’t listening . He was gonna get the “carve out “ language . Kevin at the October Board meeting was able to influence other members of the Board to allow him time to get the language . A vote was taken to intervene whereas eight members voted to intervene . They were Murray , Preib , Tamlo , Flores , Dougherty ,Donahue ,Underwood and Trevino . The motion to intervene was made by Bella . For seven months Graham attempted to get the language and was duped by Madigans attorneys . When it became apparent the vote was to intervene which was unanimous . Even Deans crew voted for it .
Kevin Graham then attempted to get the Board to pull out of the intervention . Ten members voted not to pull out which were basically the
Same people who voted to intervene except for Rick King , Escobedo and Cantore . Kevin was devastated ! The State and the City got their way and Graham is now attempting in his “two step “ to blame everyone but himself . Kevin is delusional and truly believes he will be re-elected . Unfortunately the members who do all the hard work will pay the price because of his incompetence . Don’t believe what he says he can’t help himself !!!!

I so agree. The suburbs don't restrict where you live, offer greater educational/training/swat style opportunities, better practice ranges, funding, leadership, (though I've heard some grumblings), nicer, well behaved citizens, and prettier, safer work environments. Though the citizens do sometimes use the "do you know who I am" or Caren (from Mike the Cop videos) attitude. They're less likely to take you down.
Many have citizen involvement/training options, with pleasant ride alongs or people just walking up and saying hello. Suburbs have their share of ferals, but usually they're simply attempting to pass through town leaving a bit of mayhem behind.
Sadly, HUD is insisting on set aside, affordable, aka feral, housing. So the ferals will light up the town a bit. They ferals do offer drop off service to boost cars, personal items, etc. Bad behaviors aren't much tolerated.
Sure it's a little boring, but there's always walking with your family enjoying each other, instead of running for cover. There are so very many advantages. If you miss the city, you can always drive in armed with your bullet proof vest. Suburban PO's pride themselves on keeping crime low. You know, like real community policing.
Where ever you land, do it OUTSIDE of Crook County. You can own a nice sized property, decent house, usually normal neighbors, and your children experience a better education with usually well behaved children and knowledgeable teachers. Drugs are prevalent, but needles, beer cans, condoms, trash and mayhem don't flow along like a waterfall.
You can walk outside at night without gun fire or a feral fist in the face (well in most suburbs). Ok, so sometimes kids with firecrackers or drunks or suicides happen. There's the occasional big city style crime. However, the agencies work together and as long as you're honest, everyone strongly supports you. Citizens bring treats to the CLEAN and somewhat modern stations. Most importantly: Residents respect you and all you do for us.
I never thought I'd ever again live in a suburb. You'll love it and won't miss the sirens, the verbal assaults, the filth, the insane, lying leadership, or plethora of lying media stories.
I've heard some areas have accessible onsite CONFIDENTIAL counselling and outside ERP. As far as I'm aware, white shirts are earned and you're not fed to the wolf pack. There's usually lots of cool toys, well maintained cars, excellent neighboring back up, fellow PO back up. You'll sometimes find crappy computer systems/wifi, but that happens everywhere. If you become homesick for shitcago chiraq, you'll still have the outrageous state DMV system and paperwork from hell.
It's not Utopia, nor is it Mayberry, but you'll have space to park your car without chirpy house mouse "love you not" notes. You'll have a chance to really be police and make a positive difference or stay safely fetal whilst doing paperwork.
Let the city destroy itself, and not you.
Thank you so very much PO's for all your hard work and putting yourselves in danger.
Thank you SCC for this amazing blog.
God bless all of you and your families. Stay safe and fetal. We're depending on you to do so.

I agree with you but I'm not surprised. I watch his page and he is really going after the black vote and of course saying anything in favor of the police would make him a white racist in their distorted reality. And as you say, they are all politicians. At that church forum they asked them all if they were in favor of the decree as it was and McCarthy said yes as did almost all the rest. With regard to the lesser of all evils as related to the candidates, I'd rather have Vallas as mayor than the rest. Look at the other choices that could make it much worse. Toni, Lightfoot, Amara, Mandozer, Ford, Daley, that stupid 60/40 kid, McComstat, and Willie Wonka. And Joyce is also a connected one that doesn't seem to have any real plans. It can always be worse and would be with the likes of some of the alternatives. Vallas is better than the rest but he would still bend into a pretzel for da community you can bet on that. And likely have mostly blacks and females as his staff for all the wrong reasons. Even though it's "MAGA Country". lol Vallas took down his post denouncing the alleged hate crime to that lying punk from that crappy TV show as he got some heat from it and needs money. Sad what's become of the 1st world countries.
At this point, I would pay $100,000 out of my deferred comp to buy 10 years towards retirement. 10 years from now would put me at age 55 and maxed out, with the 2% medical.
Just think of it - the City can get rid of all the (in management's view) dead weight 20 year coppers who refused to be "re-trained" (reprogrammed, brainwashed, untaught everything their initial training and 20 years experience has taught them, common sense, surviving the street and this job, etc.), refuse to do the job or are unable to do the job the way the City wants, and raise $100,000 per copper wishing to buy the 10 years forward. 500 coppers retiring would get the City a quick 50 million, create new openings for younger officers who can be trained to do the job the way the City wants while pushing older officers onto the pension fund and not have to pay their benefits any more. It's a win-win.
What say you, City? Come on, buy out all of us old assholes who refuse to go along with the new model of 21st Century Policing.
Orders and Directives are being rewritten at a furious pace, just check the new or revised Directives that we are supposed to read monthly. This job is being changed right under your feet. The way I was taught to do things has changed 5 different times in my brief 20 years. I can't keep up anymore.
Hell, I challenge any human being to master the voluminous number or orders and directives governing our job. I seriously doubt that the skipper of a nuclear submarine in the US Navy has as much written on how to do his job as a Chicago Police Officer does. Please.
Better yet, the City should just build robots that can be programmed with all of these lovely and ever-changing directives and orders. Said robots can roll around town, printing tickets and spitting them out at citizens. Said robots can be spit on, kicked, shot, and there won't be any uses of force or TRRs or medical bills or anything because the robot will do and say everything it's supposed to within the rules, and it will all be recorded by the robot.
I just can't keep up any more. All I can do is go day by day and hope disaster doesn't strike in one of its many forms. Not for my sake, so much, but for the sake of my family, as in my ability to continue to earn and provide for my family, which is in jeopardy every time I put on the uniform and start a tour.
I've had retired coppers tell me repeatedly, "I couldn't do your job nowadays." And they had it harder in many, many ways. Each older generation was tougher than the one that came after, and if you're talking to guys who were the Police in the '50s, '60s, and '70s, you're most likely talking to guys who were not only military veterans but some bad asses on the street, who had to put up with different bullshit in their day.
Anyways, the FOP should be working on some kind of buyout for the next contract. There is too big of a gap between 1990s coppers and the new model of policing. It will only mean more liability for the City in the future given this Consent Decree and all its implications if there are coppers hanging on to the job who cannot do the job the way it is done in today's climate.

When are they doing a consent agreement for the aldercreatures?
Take your deferred comp and walk away. There are plenty of police jobs in red states. Your young enough to start another career in another field. Cost of living in many areas is 1/2 of what you spend in city. Biggest problem is moving a2ay from good pizza and beef sandwiches. So STFU and start planning.
The Union does what it can, but unions are dying. That's just how it is, until the masses demand soemthing different. Unions are necessary, but not perfect. We are losing a lot, but we are getting more sophisticated and better training. My only complaint is we need more firearms training. We used to have a 3 hr practice knce a year, now we don't. I do practice on my own. Our population is changing, we are dealing with more mentals, and more elderly, and fewer social services. I have 22 years on, I will stay, learn more, and do my best until I can retire, though I don't see that happening for another 10 years.

True and you should be because you are getting the benefit increased pension and the increased 4 year average. I used a hypothetical salary of $90,000. If you assume a $2500 raise each of the previous years and a $2500 raise each of the additional 4 years when you retire you will be getting $72,187 instead of $64,687 or $7500 a year more. Just showing the difference between staying an extra 4 years and showing the pension doesn’t stop increasing because you are maxed out
It’s up to the individual officer to decide if the extra four years are worth staying. I did and every 1st of the month I’m happy I did and was blessed to have had good health and been retired for 12 years. Not saying it’s for everyone, but it worked out for me

Would work out for you but not the pension fund. Pension fund would be in worse shape than it is now. You are dreaming
I’d give the pension $290,000 the day I came on and would be able to retire at say $100000 to $150000 a year. Get my money back in 2 or 3 years and never have to work
Everyone chases that gold ring of maximum pension.
There are other things to consider to maximize your benefit.
1: Is 2.5% really going to change your financial situation? If yes, you have problems.
2: Leaving the job early may cost you a little money. But what is peace of mind worth? And quality of life. Instead of grinding yourself down dealing with a job you hate which is taking time off your life, get out and live.
3: The trick to getting the most money out of the pension fund is NOT to get the biggest check you can, but the MOST checks you can.

The overall goal is to make police officers into social workers. It's the next logical progression from community policing, which of course, was good on paper, but not in reality. Most of the policed communities reject any cooperation with the police, so, what's the point other than "saying we're doing something"?
Police reform in Chicago will fail because Chicago, the city ,state and local government officials, and community and local overseers are utterly corrupt criminal and self service hypocrites that belong in state and federal prisons-not at the table of police reform.
Here’s what you have backing police reform.
Local and international media that lies every time they put pen to paper or fingers to keys. An institution that has perpetuated lie after lie about police misconduct, especially the Van Dyke and Burge cases.
Loretta Lynch, the former Attorney General, under criminal investigation for covering up criminal conduct of a former first lady- Hillary Clinton
Former president Barack Obama, whose lists of misdeeds and misconduct and ineptitude would fill a library let alone a post. The same ex president that is pushing for the construction of a profit based commercial building, that’s being masked as a presidential library.
Obama-the same ex president that turned his back on Chicago, blacks, and police minority relations.
Eric Holder, the only U.S. Attorney held in contempt of Congress. The architect of a illegal guns transfer scheme to Mexico that resulted in Border Patrol and other U.S. agents being shot and killed with the weapons in question.
Rahm Emanuel, Obama’s ex chief of staff and Chicago’s biggest failed mayor to date, an utterly cowardly, corrupt, inept venal political snake that has governed over mass murders , shootings and bloodshed in Chicago.
Eddie Johnson, another failed inept corrupt superintendent, appointed by Father Michael Pfleger. A superintendent whose cabinet is rife with promotional exam cheating, ineptitude, corruption, manipulated crime stats and a large spike in police suicides. A superintendent that is targeted for firing by a large number of political officials and mayoral candidates. That is Eddie Johnson’s ( partial) legacy as superintendent.
Then you have Black Lives Matters, a violent, racists, self serving “ non group” that has been instrumental, or directly attributed to the attacks, murders, and deaths of police officers all over the country. Its avowed members are constantly arrested and charged with numerous criminal offenses. This is an organization that hates the police-yet the federal judiciary sees fit to grant them a seat at the table of police reform.
And neither last nor least, you have the uber political hack, ineffectual, failed former Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan who fathers , Michael Madigan ( currently under numerous federal investigations) who has contributed absolutely nothing to ridding Illinois of major police, public official, or corporate misconduct. Madigan, during her tenure, has never sought to root out or prosecute any political corruption despite the dozes of state and local politicians ( aka aldermen). Who are under investigation, being charged prosecuted or convicted for various corruption offenses. Lisa Madigan is a corrupt irreverent failure because she looked the other way while those like her father Mike Madigan, Alderman Eddie Burke, and perjury inducing governor elect JB Pritzker, pilfered and defiled Illinois to its current state of fiscal insolvency and bankruptcy.This is why police reform will fail. You can not have the rats guarding the cheese.
The same ex president that is pushing for the construction of a profit based commercial building, that’s being masked as a presidential library.

Not sure about troopers but sergeants are teamsters.
