FOP Demands Special Prosecutor
- The labor union that represents Chicago’s beat cops is striking back at what it believes is a failure of Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx to prosecute crimes committed against officers in the line of duty.
Leaders of FOP Lodge #7 told Foxx in a letter this week that the union will file a motion for a special prosecutor “in each and every case where you refuse, drop, or diminish charges when our members are the victims.”
Among the State’s Attorney’s decisions that the union said demonstrate “a disregard for the safety of police officers or an apparent hostility toward them” was a dismissal of charges against an HIV-positive individual who bit a cop at a demonstration; a reduction in charges from felony to misdemeanor for a driver who “recklessly crossed multiple lanes of traffic” to strike and kill an off-duty officer; and a failure to approve felony charges against a man who allegedly issued death threats against police officers, police families, and public officials during the trial of Jason Van Dyke, the former Chicago cop who was convicted of murdering Laquan McDonald.
And let's not forget the two officers at Marshall High School who suffered bites, a broken knee and being dragged down the stairs, and who are now being hung out to dry. There are plenty more examples - cops are not below the law simply because they are cops.

Glad to see FOP stepping it up.
You can demand what you want but when it’s challenged by the states attorney you will be denied. If the FOP cites a dozen or so cases the state knocked down or didn’t follow through on they will put up thousands that they did prosecute over the past year. It’s hot air that will be shot down in a minite
Three counts of attempt murder, uuw by felon, psmv all reduced to psmv because they found (60)9mm shell casings in his car. They said we shot him too many times. I have a .40, my partner has a .45. We both shot less than 4 times each. He did a drive by earlier that day in his stolen car. All of this was covered in the case report. Offender is out already. I still have an open CR. Travesty of justice is an understatement. Let me know who to talk to and I am all in.

Off Topic,
A list of Captains just came out.
Wow, no Mrs Fenner, or Hall???? I wonder why?
Wines yuk, husband stealer and Muhammed worthless clout baby.
FOP isn’t going to do s*** they are in bed with the city.
OT: JvD was assaulted in a Conn. prison earlier today.
I'm too pissed off to write more but let me say let the members of the 'munnerty kill themselves and solve their own problems.
Prayers to him and his family and a curse on Special-K who wants a longer sentence.
good. at least give it a try.
Speaking of Van Dyke...
Sounds as though he got his ass tore off in the joint yesterday.
Channel 7 News @ 10 pm was almost giddy over it and ran it as lead story. Followed by a segment on Paul Bauer. Followed by a blurb about COPA looking into an officer who wore blackface.
Police officers are held to a higher standard of accountability. Consequently, people who commit crimes against police officers should be punished to the fullest extent of the law. Might kwame raoul want to look at getting the charges reinstated against our little high school sweetheart who battered two of our officers at marshall high school.
How about the asshole shot in 014 today on the highway. Locked up in connection with a carjacking a year ago and he’s been arrested twice since and now he’s been shot. Seems like county is a safer place for that clown
Dream on they will laugh in your face.
Sue the POS after given the ghetto lottery.
Cook County is too broke to prosecute anyone. Plus Ms Foxxx has to pay her peeps.
Long overdue.
nicely done. Not much will happen but nicely done.
Kim is nothing but a puppet with prickwrinkle's hand up her ass making her mouth move. These two have allowed criminals to victimize more and more people with their Bond reform. They have failed the citizens of cook county.
Worst states attorney ever.
This is what cook county voters wanted when they voted her in. Kinda makes clear what citizens really think of cops.

COPA can look into anything they want. As long as he did not represent himself as a P.O.-off duty while he was doing this, not a thing they can do.
This is just becoming a witch hunt run by the liberal media.
Husband stealer, anonymous? How does that happen exactly? Was he kidnapped? Taken against his will? Surely there is another reason she's not fit to be a Captain. Right?
It’s about time. I still remember the days when even touching a police officer was a tabu. Now you can beat them, kill them and nothing happenes t the offender. This is a direct result of democratic progressiveness
This is why elections have consequences and also why things will never change in Chicago. Too many useful idiots who vote based on identity politic metrics like skin color and made up genders overwhelm any voter with half a brain who sees the tsunami coming. Do what you can,make it to retirement and leave this state to their chosen road to hell.
I’m ready to quit. Sad to say it. I don’t feel safe being the police in Cook County anymore. The chief law enforcer of the county does not have any concern for our welfare. The administration will throw you under the bus. The crooked politicians constantly blame us for troubles. Most corrupt city in America, but we are the problem. Yeah, right.
There have been other cities around the country that have had special prosecutors appointed due to animosity between local law enforcement and the assigned county states attorney office.
The judges that did these appointments felt there was a disconnect between law enforcement and prosecutors.
So where do we find these judges to assign this?
I for one am tired of the ASA office just hanging up on good arrests.
There is plenty of proof of this along with offenders being released to just go out and
commit further crimes. With no punishment.......
In addition to filing a motion for special prosecutor, file a complaint with the ARDC www.iardc.org to discipline her law license as well.
Is is anyone's guess what the ARDC will do on any individual complaint, but given the volume of Foxx's fuckups, if the complaints start pouring in (meaning multiple complaints on multiple incidents as well as multiple complaints on a single incident), eventually they will have to do something.
Even if she only catches a 6 month suspension, that would slow her shit down, and be a huge and well-deserved black eye to Toni "The Social-Marxist" Prickwrinkle.
SCC:Since reporters read your work, please keep covering this story. Bad press is the only tactic that Prickwrinkle and Kimesha fear as they attempt to coddle criminals. Thank you.

I remember the state of justice, blindfolded, with the scales being equal. Equal justice, not what is being seen here. It's a pick & choose system clearly. Then after you get through that, then there's the Attorney General who also has the blinders off apparently.
If you think about it, it's like you go through a maze. Start at the top, avoid getting shot, wounded, written up, stabbed in the back, screwed over by the press, scored by others, see friends hurt, beat down, see families wrecked, have a former president, AG's hang you out to dry, go through more bs, and hopefully, hopefully get to the point where you can retire in good health and leave. (Possibly leave the state that screwed you, taxed you and berated you daily, and they wonder why.)
Off topic:
Too, yesterday (2-13) was the one year anniversary of the loss of your commander,
Paul R. Bauer. I am sorry for your loss, which I am sure has affected you all. Likely, I'm sure all remember where they were and what time this happened.
You really lost a good commander.
There was a story on WBBM radio:
https://wbbm780.radio.com/articles/service-marks-1-year-police-commander-was-slain
NOT ILLINOIS. NOT LAW.
Can I ask for a special prosecutor if I don't like the way some case was handled?
Of course I can.
Of course nothing will come of such a request, nor should it.
This is just grandstanding.

I saw the abc 7 segment and nobody was giddy.
The Paul Bauer piece has been advertised for at least a week.
And hopefully nobody on CPD is dumb enough to wear blackface and post it online but there are some idiots on this job who just don't get it so I wouldn't be surprised.
FOP stepping up...ya, right, if I said it once I said it a millions times, The FOP is useless, unless you want to put a golf outing together.

this is unconscionable were the guards lax or involved? To the young coppers with the tatted up arms,the punisher tattoos covering that $60,000 wrangler, think about how JVD was railroaded and how many more cases are being magically reopened from years ago, all that running and gunning stupidity for a boss wearing a white shirt, maybe for an exempt rank liar like the idiot from 025 that Eddie has zero testicular fortitude just to fire his lying ass for easy rule 14 violations! Your job is to respond to calls don't get hurt, write paper the only time to go quickly to a scene is to back a brother or sister up calling for help or a police family other than that your completely out of your mind driving like an idiot to ghetto bullshit!
I don't understand how any sane person can vote Democrat the party of criminals and baby killers.

I despise our agenda driven, completely biased media.
They, just like Rahm, are lower than snakes.
This is a good idea. And FOP should rep police in civil trials. Qualified immunity would have precluded liability for McDonald but the city opted to pay. If your name is in the case caption you have a right to contest the claim. Assume the city has ordinance similar to the County that compels indemnification.
Maybe Attorney General Kwami Raul will file for a federal overbite on the do nothing States Attorney's office?
Why are there no comments from our Police Superintendent? What is his stand on the States Attorney's office? Anyone who does anything is an idiot. You don't have to go on strike just follow the general orders to a tee. Review the general order on Processing Persons under department control. There are stated time constrains. If they can't be processed properly FOP reps should demand a CR number. FOP lawyers should file law suits.
Jam the system. Demand a override from the Merit shit in the pants watch commanders?
Demand CR numbers.

If Preckwinkle or any other black progressive democrat gets in for Mayor you can change the name from Chicago to Detroit II.
Glad to see the FOP finallly displaying a set.
They need to let the truth out about Kimmie every chance they get.
O.T within the last 6 months there has been 3 ET's that have given up the position and gone back to 9161. All of whom did the job for a substantial amount of time. All because of how piss poor the unit is run by the commander and the F.I he has put in charge
Not gonna happen.
Blue Lives Don't Matter
FOP leadership was elected by the rank and file for the purpose of representing the best interest of police officers in all respects. You need to be seen and heard regularly in every local media venue available in Chicago. Coming up for air once in awhile (e.g., coming up late for the Consent Degree, requesting a Special Prosecutor-all have or will be brushed aside - its the Chicago Way). You're not new to the Chicago Way. You know how things work around here.
If FOP leadership is not capable of launching an effective and sustainable positive pro-police campaign in this city then hire a PR firm. You have the money - use it. Right now FOP is an anemic annoyance to "clout city". Your media relations are weak at best. Rarely are anti police news articles effectually challenged, factually corrected, debunked or rebutted in a timely manner. The rank and file are smart and have some very good ideas. Leadership needs to listen to them and take positive and sustain actions. You have a large block of professional well educated men and women on the force. Marshal their resources and be more engaged.
FOP is a fuck'n JOKE. We need a NEW union.
FOP dumb again. The statute allows a special prosecutor only when a genuine conflict or disability exists, and that doesn’t include cases in which we or anybody disagree with the decisions or think she’s biased. About on the money with this as they were with their dumb intervention strategy in the consent decree case. Another waste of time and ink from the group which spends most of its time berating newspaper reporters and college professors. How productive.
A "demand" from a useless joke of a union. Good luck with that!
To late boys and girls FOP sold you out time for a new union fuck fop
Hey keep on going out there.
The labor union that represents Chicago’s beat cops is called a union but FOP is not a union. Its a collective bargaining unit of clowns bought and paid for by the Mayor!!!
It’s a waste of time, FOP attorneys should represent this Officers in civil suits against each defendant if the facts are true and accurate
Bring Ochocki out of retirement and back to area north range! He could show the crew there how to be true range instructors!
Superintendent giving a presser tomorrow on how detectives have a 100% clearance rate of fake hate crimes.
Express your dis-satisfaction about local leadership directly to the FOP National Lodge. This is not a new problem. Other weak FOP Lodges that have bent their knee and alligence to their local politicians. With the right kind of national level support it can get better. They need to be aware of the lack of Lodge activity. All major cities administered by representatives from the previous administration are suffering the same high crime problems and lack of support. If collective barganing (FOP) is ineffective then look to another alternative - think union. For us and the city.

You must be new here. It’s called the catch and release program. Get with it now

"Toddler demands new toy". Just so the FOP knows, that's what the State thinks of you.
The previous commentator who explained that this statue does not to us , well, I hope is wrong . But he is spot on about FOP going after Professors , especially the professor who sits on the FOP executive board.
Why can't we get a DIFFERENT union instead of FOP ?????????????????
FOP is nothing more but a golf outing and picnic forming establishment. FOP is a fuck'n JOKE to it's members !!!!!!!!!!!!
10:53, I’m not wrong about the statute, but nor do you want me to be wrong. It’s a high bar. If special prosecutors had to be appointed every time some goof or some advocacy group disagreed with how the CCSAO was handling something, we’d have chaos. That is how you can tell when a reaction is knee-jerk, not well thought out. It doesn’t account for what happens when the shoe is on the other foot. In JVD, Anita specifically said there was no conflict, but she yielded voluntarily to the demands for a special prosecutor because she got dumped in the primary and had lost credibility over the circumstances of the video’s release. The statute allowed the special prosecutor appointment because there was no prosecutor upon Anita recusing herself. In Vanecko, the CCSAO had an “actual conflict of interest” (those are the words used in the statute — that is the bar) because the court (disagree if you want) found that the handling of the earlier investigation was among what needed to be looked at, as in, did the CCSAO itself obstruct or interfere with the process, and that made CCSAO personnel witnesses. It was an actual conflict for CCSAO to investigate itself. We don’t want court-appointed special prosecutors brought in at the drop of a hat every time someone says the elected prosecutor is biased. Not an “actual conflict.”
I think the FOP should be asking why NBC political reporter is sharing a stage tonight as a "co-moderator" of a Mayoral debate with cop-hater Jamaal Green. Anyone who cares about law enforcement should be calling NBC to ask why they are promoting a cop-hater.
Sadly we have almost 2 years left of this idiot unless Phoni wins and takes her with, which will be just as bad if not worse. Somebody legit has to start thinking about running against her, and NOW. You can't decide at the end and beat this goof with the media and phoni farttknocker pulling the strings like they/she did last time.

We can hear Teddy yelling
"leave me alone!" from here.
There's only so much ducking and dodging
one can do when some dolt is waving his "HOT"
weapon around at the counter and it
does seem to get old after a while.
...Or so we've been told.
The goof in question?
"Duh... Wut? Oh...
Well it's not like I had my
finger on the trigger so wut're you
guys all pissed off about?"
Sometimes... A case CAN be made for a
timely, spontaneous and specifically targeted act
of "Workplace Violence."
