Changes on Paper

So let's see what the accuracy was from our sources at HQ in Special Ed's inner circle:
  • Chief Keith Calloway - retired
  • Deputy Chief Kevin Ryan - retired
  • Deputy Chief Maria Pena - retired
None of these popped up in our comments or from our spies. And the one that did (Saldana) ended up moving, not retiring. The other two demotions (Moss and Sanchez) appear to have happened though.
  • D. Alexander to Chief of IAD (accurate)
  • J. Tirado to Dep Chief Area Central (accurate) 
  • S. Avila to Chief Org Crime (not mentioned)
  • C. Kennedy to Street Deputy (accurate)
  • W. Bradley to  Dep Chief Org Crime (accurate)
  • K. Konow to Dep Chief IAD (accurate)
  • F. Saldana to XO Area North (told retired - wrong)
  • R. Darlin to XO Area Central (accurate)
  • R. Muhammad to Cmdr 006 (accurate)
  • M. Roman to Cmdr 019 (updated to 014) (accurate)
  • D. Jerome to Cmdr 009 (accurate)
  • C. Papaioannou to Cmdr 019 (we had 012, half credit)
  • M. Bulnes to Cmdr 004 (not mentioned)
  • R. Neives to Cmdr Gangs (we had Intel, half credit)
  • M. Rubino to Cmdr 024 (accurate)
  • M. Harmon to Cmdr Vice/Asset Forfeiture (not mentioned)
  • R. Wiser to Cmdr 022 (not mentioned)
  • some John Marshall lawyer we don't care about
Chung kept 012 for now, and it appears the rumor that Valadez couldn't pass the vetting process kept him from Organized Crime. That's interesting.

Not a bad batting average for our sources either - nearly 70% on the money.

Insignificant.

Ryan retiring was about the only one that a bunch of us knew for certain. He was actually set to go before Rahm announced he wouldn’t run again, which was going to open a spot for Kennedy, and the commander of 010 was likely to slide back over to Gangs.
Once Rahm let that cat out of the bag, Ryan actually had a horse in the mayoral race, so he changed his mind about pulling the pin just yet. I guess he figured he’d hold out to see if the person he threw his support behind could slide into the king’s chair, and he could get that one last bump. When that didn’t happen, he realized there’s no point sticking around.
As far as I’m concerned, good riddance.
And we now figure that the commander of 010’s undying love and devotion to merit Sgt RG of 010 may have finally been the kiss of death for his career. Still not sure why he allowed that continuous cancer on the department to act with such impunity. Friend or not, if someone I knew was acting in such a way, sometimes you just have to take the kid-gloves off and sit them down for a lesson in the ways of the world.

Oh well, seems to just be another episode of the soap opera known as CPD, watching from my 9161 blue-shirt chair.

So Eddie is boasting (I wanna keep my job Lori look at the changes here), that crime is down, every time he boasts crime rises and with Lori "acting stupidly," with that insane ignorant comment about the black kids and summer kind of racist playing that card that will encourage them them to destroy downtown even more. Blaming others for the people that are ruining everything does not play well but "crime is down,"

Violent crime down in Chicago through April compared to 2018: police
https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/chicago-violent-crime-statistics-april-2019-eddie-johnson/

they we see a sister city led by a black female mayor:

Baltimore struggling with soaring crime, drugs and inept political leaders

https://www.foxnews.com/us/baltimore-struggling-with-soaring-crime-drugs-and-inept-political-leaders

Excerpt:
"There have been shootings one after another," she said on Monday. "We've had people come here and promise to clean up the streets but nothing happens. People feel unsafe in their neighborhoods. (Harrison) says he's going to turn things around. It's a nice thought but they keep killing people... it's going to get worse in the summer. It always gets worse in the summer."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Eddie said what again? Like Chicago they keep killing people.and shooting maiming so many what type of people do we need to be on the lookout for Eddie? Come on Eddie descriptions sir!

Maurizzio Inzerra. Chris Kennedy’s best friend. The FBI not only wanted him booted from the Task Force but also wanted him completely out of Gang Investigations. He’s a two faced snake who was taken care of by Kennedy the whole time. All time due denied because it’s Memorial Day or 4th of July? Or a large protest anticipated? Nope, not for Kennedy and Inzerra. They’d take vacations together while everyone else was denied. Kennedy named new Dep Chief-Street Deputy. Never showed up to a single shooting that one of his p.o.’s was involved in. Too afraid of being on paper as being on scene. Now he has to go to all of them. He’s the most selfish arrogant asshole out there. He’ll screw a p.o. over in a heartbeat just to cover his own cowardly ass

Loved this guys comment. Spot on for both goofs. I worked for Inzerra. Complete do nothing and straight up liar not to mention not very bright at all.
Poor Kennedy will be looking for a job at age 50 with this new assignment. Explosive diarrhea on the horizon for Kennedy. Thanks to his guy Inzerra, it won’t be with any of the fed groups.
Just hoping the “never showed up to any of his guys shootings”. Is an exaggeration. If true that would be deplorable.

All of this means what? Eddie is scared for his job suddenly he makes moves,knowing all these years,all these murders,shootings,robberies,carjackings,etc were done and ed did nothing. Eddie the Titanic tried to move people around and what happened just like your career it sunk. We have at least 20 to many exempt ranks which are not needed,and never were, your stacking the top at the expense of the bottom with these political hacks.

How about showing some real change ed,ask Lori to appoint a "task force," to look into that lieutenant cheating scam you know the one your wife was involved in yes sir that 1. You say you "integrity," is beyond reproach, no sir your integrity is beyond "approach," big difference there.

Ed while your at it what about that sergeant drive-by shot that handicapped balk kid and you gave him a short suspension causer he is "connected," and no referral to states attorney or even better loris "federal partners,' for a look see definitely even stevie wonder could see the civil rights violations here? Or lets look at 025th commander the babysitting episode where he ruled 14 (lied0 so many times and your like the cowardly lion scared to make the right move and terminate him, or again referral to loris federal partners for stealing cities money and resources. How many more ed did you need more added to the list surely the bloggers could help refresh your memory how about it are you with me?

Just got an email from the sgts association. They had a meeting with the city a few days ago, the 18th meeting. After the meeting the sgts attorney declared that negotiations are at an impass and filed a motion to the city declaring the impass. The sgts association is now waiting for the city’s response to its letter which will then select a mutual date for arbitration hearings. With arbitration on the horizon I see the contract for sgts settled sometime in October with it getting voted on near December.

I don’t know why Leo Panepinto has not been dumped from CPIC. That little man has no idea what he is doing. If this department is looking for progressive change it starts with taking Leo “the paper lion” out of CPIC. I know he tells funny jokes and his officers love him because they get away with plenty because it’s easy to take advantage of his stupidity but lets start taking this job seriously. Bottom line, he had his fun for a while now lets replace him with someone who is more professional. Believe me it won’t be that hard to do.

We hold the collective power on are own measured actions associated with summer violence as managed by the Special Ed's new staff. He's been told to by Lorie to fix the crime problem this summer. Remember we have no contract. The SGT's Association may go to arbitration. City Hall and Department leadership has no respect for us. Their plan is make us do the heavy lifting while management sits on its fat a$$ and blame us for Community self inflicted murder and mayhem. None are their to aid, manage and assists us in a serious situation. We take all the legal and disciplinary risks. They hid and we suffer the ramifications.

Don't be a fool and accept any undue risk because of managements ineptitude and potential for Department disciplinary actions. No contract should equal measured actions by all offices. The recent management changes will have little impact on the collective patrol operations. Its the institution administered by City Hall and the Machine that really run things. Initiate meaningful negotiations on a fair contract. Otherwise bear the full heat of summer.

To all of you haters in 025. Commander Escamilla is staying. In 025 if you work hard and keep your nose to the grindstone you'll do ok. If you are a lazy fuck- then the sergeants will call you out. Hard worker does pay in 025. Just ask the two officers with like 3 years on the job who got assigned to the 06 car.


Who. The. Fuck. Cares. Oooooooooooooo 06 car baby tac! You’re on the road to TVB and blue card heaven! You’re so cool in them 5.11 pants! Check your Instagram and Facebook in between traffic stops, stop in the station, blow Escamerit, and top it off to end your night, write a letter to google-emi and try to make the “cat out of the tree email list”! Tool.

Good riddance then. In 025 if you work hard then you are recognized and taken care of. I can't believe how lazy some people are. Just bring in the numbers (blue cards, isr's, arrests, tickets and parkers) and you will be taken care of. I am a young guy and I don't know why some people make our commander to be a bad guy. I guess some people like to complain in the roll call room all day long. You know who you are. So full of opinion and hot air. Newsflash- none of us young guys are going to be influenced just because you keep saying negative stuff. We all know right from wrong and we do our jobs within the legal parameters. In 025 3rd watch we have like 3 to 5 big time complainers. Professional whiners and cry babies. If you think this job is hard then you are extremely delusional. Everyday in the roll call room it's the same ones whining and complaining.

You’re in for a rude awakening kid. What you should do is listen. The vets speak because they’ve experienced it and know what they’re talking about. You’ll see that they’re trying to help out you youngsters. Obviously, filter out the bullshit but take with you what good advice or complaint they might have. You will soon be sued for “dong the right thing” and/or “within the legal parameters.” These bosses know not to push for numbers because they can’t. Those that do are just plain dumb. For the record, your boss IS a tool!! Good for you that you’re in 025 and not in a busy district. Good luck kid. Hope you don’t get jammed up soon.

Apparently those two officers are the only ones working. Do you not understand how this department works? Wake up, the minute something goes wrong, those white shirts will throw these officers under the bus. Those 3 year wonders will be wishing they were back in 025 on a stupid 06 car when they are sitting in call back praying they don’t lose their job. All the 06 cars do is pump up the numbers to make the bosses look good, not the officers. Why do you think so many officers left 025? Look at the transfer orders from the past 12-15 months, then again you probably weren’t even in 025 that “long” ago.

The thing is here you’re too green and naive. If you’ve spent enough time under Lt. M.R. you would know how it’s like to work for her. She barely supervised the Tact Teams and she has favoritism which she didn’t hide. You need to observe and learn from the veterans sitting next to you at roll call before you learn the hard way. Not everyone is your friend and definitely can’t trust anybody in this department.

Listen here buddy I do respect my elders but one thing I learned is age doesnt bring wisdom! I have a few years on the job and I worked in 024 and got dumped to the Southside I'm not going to say where because that might give up my identity as I'm kinda known on the job, but look buddy I'm not saying she is a good supervisor I'm just saying 024 is a retirement district plain and simple she will be ok it's not like 011 or 005! My buddy was the man in 024 I looked at his stats and I was better or on par with him in every category and where I was at I was just one of the guys no honorables ,merit promotions, or DCs...i ended up making it off score anyway so I'm good not salty at all and guess what I'm enjoying being back on the north side coasting!

She never succeeded, but don't tell her that - she'd never believe you. I guess when her clout got her to the more cush spots she decided she was too important to be so openly desperate.
