Apology Issued, But....

  • Chicago police issued an apology one day after a Chicago Tribune story revealed that the department has compiled profiles on citizens who spoke at public meetings of the city’s police disciplinary panel since at least 2013.

    The practice drew outrage from Chicago Police Board members, past Police Board speakers, the American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois and Mayor Lori Lightfoot, who told the Tribune on Tuesday that she had ordered an immediate stop to the background checks and that the Police Department owed the public an apology.

    Late Wednesday, the Police Department issued a brief statement reaffirming its commitment to the right of individuals to privacy and apologizing for “any mistrust that this practice may have caused.
We're told however, that if you want to speak at the City Council meetings, the exact same background check is done and has been done for years. It seems to be true as we've talked to people who know these things.

As a side note, it's kind of hypocritical that Groot demands the Department apologize when she won't even begin to apologize for her recent statements.

Who ordered these background checks?
And wasn’t Lori on the board while these checks were going on?

She was the chairMAN of the Police Board for several of the years this was going on. Yet, she offers no apology nor accepts any responsibility for this happening on her watch. She is a stupid, angry person.

Why is anyone surprised?

What do you think the purpose of the sign-in sheet is? Handwriting practice?

So did Fat Heads office or City Hall use LEADS/NCIC as part of their background check? If so; then they have violated state law and should be prosecuted. reference is Illinois Compiled Statues, Criminal Identification Act (20 ILCS 2630), Section 1240.80(a)

If this is true, then the City Council is going to have to make the same "reforms" or lose what little credibility they have left.

Hypocrites.

Sounds like Rahm implemented this policy if it started as it started in 2013.

Why?

Let’s not forget compstat minutes, mins: major incident notification, majors for property crimes, shooting reports completed by watch commanders, ones completed by tact, and ones by the capt or commander, vehicle damage/crash/pursuit reports, awards, watch incident logs, the list goes on. Come on media some of this is in our general orders that are available online to everyone and some kept on the down-low. Start asking for them

Transparency should be for everyone, not just the crew stuck in patrol.

So many coppers and supervisors have no ability to think 3 steps ahead of what can go wrong before taking action. OF COURSE you would like to know the criminal backgrounds of citizens speaking, but it is a public forum, and if having a criminal background does not disqualify one from speaking, then don’t run a fucking name check. The old “that’s how we’ve always did it” no longer applies today.

Why does the police department have to apologize for doing their job and Mayor Lighthead doesn't have to apologize to our FOP vice president?

We sheeple are getting pretty disgusted with what is being allowed to occur......
Old, young, black, white, brown, male, female, neuter- all hardworking taxpaying HUMANS are waiting, watching.....
Complacency (look it up) has been our motto for a while.....but that's getting old, and burdensome.....
What will it take? How much more do we allow? Before the sheeple turn into raging, roaring lions?

She was President of the Chicago Police Board. And I hope nobody believes, even for one second, that she was unaware of the background checks.

She's an absolute bald-faced liar.

I think I would want to know what the background is of people attending and speaking out at these meetings. Lot of sick and twisted people these days who could be a heartbeat away from commiting murder for some petty reason.

So the RED squad is back in business? Stalin must be proud of the socialist democratic leadership spying on people exercising their first amendment rights.

Some underhanded Rahm al-Ghoul shit
slid in place to try and stifle dissent
and identify trouble-makers...

God Help You if you were a city employee
on your own time attempting to exercise
your right to have a say.

BAM!

"Onerous Conditions of Continuing Municipal Employment"

When your supervisor asks you to step into
their office and close the door behind you...

Right?

You brought "discredit" upon your municipal employer
and now you must be reminded that as a municipal
employee, there is no such thing as freedom of speech
and freedom to attend/participate in similar such
"government sponsored forums."

This is Chicago...

Bet they checked the sign-in sheets against voting
records and checked to see if there are outstanding
revenues owed, etc...

Sign-in sheets are evil.

No?

The FakeNews said Fresh’n Frootie Grootie was livid.
Apologized, quickly, wholeheartedly and repeatedly in earnest too.
Refused to publicly spank low energy DrRevJugghaid SpecialEd PhD but was pointing the finger to Gmac instead.

Somebody is the Dept ratted this info out, I bet this protocol was formed more likely under shady ShortShanks and professional snoop JFed.
And knowing how Democrat connected JPud is, he probably was the rat squealing to the former assistant to a Fed prosecutor LightLoafer.

Now comes the reparation payouts.

Sounds like a Potential Civil Suit. If you spoke before the Police Board, hire a (properly connected) lawyer on contingency and get in on the G Lottery.
