Clout Again

It's amazing what the connected can get away with:
  • Can someone PLEASE explain how a CPD Lt. under investigation for multiple incidents both on and off duty, is allowed to take a department approved LEAVE OF ABSENCE to go be the chief of a suburban department?
Not two incidents, or even three, but four separate investigations. And no one cares, here or in Harvey.

I searched Harvey city website but the new police chief is not listed.
Can we please have the name of this corrupt Lt from Chicago.

PS,
Harvey Il is a cesspool of corruption, ignorance, depression, gangbangers and drug addicts!
It was once a lovely quiet suburb, when I was a 12 year old child in 1971, but white flight along with several mills closing down caused the downward spiral that continues today.

The key word here is Harvey. The most corrupt suburb of all the corrupt suburbs. The South Suburban Task Force will not even allow Harvey to be a participant. For the last 15-20 years the Feds sat by and watched Eric Kellog steal money and destroy this suburb because he apparently was a little too smart for our ace FBI agents. It is now a total sewer pit. The CPD Lt. with numerous beefs will be a superstar of ethics in Harvey.

-Former LIEtenant eddie winters. Apparently he took a LOA to take the job of chief of the upstanding HARVEY police department, and has VERY recently and VERY QUIETLY "retired". With several open CRs, but a bunch of clout that led him to two merit promotions and acceptance into a master's degree program that he could NEVER get into on his own, I'm sure he got his retirement id and star - even though the miserable unclouted peons wouldn't be able to with all those CRs and investigations that are still open. Harvey PD will get exactly what they deserve. Maybe that's their punishment from the feds for all the recent charges against the former chief and a bunch of their POs.

Actually, without knowing to much about this new Harvey Chief of Police, it occurs to me that, the G may have approached him with something like 'you can walk on the your problems in Chicago if you work for us in Harvey'.
If any of this works Special Ed gets to look good for permitting it.

With a lot of money around he may have a difficult time keeping things out of his pocket though no matter who is watching him.

A leave of Absence is allowed.

Under Investigation doesn't prevent you from getting a Leave.


But when Discipline is Handed down, they can cancel your leave and call you back to stand in the Dock, as it were.

Basically...the LT in question would have to say "No" and they have officially quit at that point. No Pension.

It’s a fucking insult with a minor compliment! Fucking bullshit! Couldn’t the department find another letter that actually compliments the department?

In the '60's Harvey was a decent place to live. When the first blacks moved in they were good neighbors,kept well maintained homes, were law-abiding, etc. Most of the men worked in the steel mills. Jobs that paid well. When we started importing cheap foreign steel the mills closed and those black and white workers were out of work. With little or no income many of the residents either fled or let their homes fall into disrepair. No excuse though for what the town has become.

Spradley isn't a racist; don't hate on him because he provided an honest account of the traffic stop conducted on him by a white suburban cop. Do you work inside of a beat car with any black officers? If you do, ask them about their experiences with police before they were hired on the job. If you've got the balls to ask, they just might share with you some of their own harrowing experiences. Hopefully, you'll give what they have to say a respectful listen.
Many years ago, my cousin and I were walking home when we were stopped by two plainclothes white officers in an unmarked car. We were tossed around pretty good, spoken to very disrespectfully, as I recall. While we weren't arrested (we had committed no crime), we were most definitely harassed. Years later, one of those men was my watch commander after I had been hired by the CPD. I never once shared with my then-boss about how he and his partner years ago had mistreated me and my cousin, but I never forgot how much joy he got out of abusing us that night, many years ago.

Clearly you don’t understand that there is a duality in being Black and CPD. Before I became an officer, I had an encounter with two tact officers from the 3rd district, who unlawfully searched my mother’s car and my friend that was sitting in it. They were extremely disrespectful and pulled my friend out of the car yet found nothing. Stories like that aren’t uncommon. Perhaps you don’t know because you don’t experience the police the same way. Like E.S. and the commander mentioned in the article, I understand the protests because I’ve been on the receiving end of some of the very things being protested against. Lt Spradley is good guy and there is nothing racist
about telling his story. It happens.
