Accountability Tuesday!

Pending last minutes updates/unpluggings, the Labor Day weekend tally currently sits at nine dead (eight by our timeframe rules) and thirty-three wounded. We predicted eight and thirty-seven, and a lot of people were in that range.

Now we see if Groot is serious about "accountability" (a characteristic that hasn't been part of CPD vocabulary in quite a long time) or just another Machine politician full of hot air.

The rumor mill has ground to life again and supposedly, the First Deputy is on the chopping block, because as everyone knows, the First is supposed in charge of day-to-day operations while the Supernintendo is a figurehead, a toy, a plaything for the 5th Floor to blame when things go wrong.

Someone else had a rumor that Groot is looking at an actual restructuring - a miracle if true - that would involve cutting some of the top-heavy positions, especially Deputy Chief, which for some reason ballooned from six in the 1990's to almost twenty under the last few regimes, none of which has had any demonstrable effect on crime. We shall see.

In the meantime, will we see even a single actual demotion after this weekend?

Three areas means 3 Deputy Chiefs.

If Groot was a serious Mayor, she would do something about crime.
If Groot was a serious Mayor, she would do something corruption.

If Groot was a serious Mayor, she would do something about patronage.
If Groot, was a serious Mayor, she would do something about no work city workers.
Groot is not a serious Mayor, all she wants to do is go on vacation and blame Trump.

Now it comes out, courtesy Glenn Beck show.
West Texas gunman initially FAILED gun background check and
(properly) purchase was denied. He also had extended background
of mental health problems. The law, this time, worked, as Beck just
said. He was also struggling with the suicide of his sister.
So he purchased the gun ILLEGALLY. The "system" did its job, but
somehow he got around the system.

Your data on deputy chiefs is somewhat inaccurate, yes there are more now than there was, but there were about 12 ADS positions that were eliminated. So from an organizational structure standpoint the current org chart is actually somewhat functional. You should download it and take a look for yourself. If you look at the command staff pictures at HQ, the number of bosses has actually been reduced in recent years. Everyone has the notion that we are too top heavy, but in reality we are just right based on the need. 6 chiefs. 18 deputy chiefs. 44 commanders. 33 captains. That’s the allotment. At one time we were well over 100 exempts. Not including 80 captains.

We might see a demotion but it won't be one of the 20 Deputy Chiefs. Most likely some hardcore charger might be made example. You know him, he's the real(real) police, the backwards hat wearing commando, the jeep driving killer. Without a question he's a true badass. If you ask him he'll tell ya "there's not too many of my kind left on the job." The Punisher sticker on his rear windshield represents his lifestyle. He took an oath and refuses to stop. He lives this life 24/7. Off-duty is just a buzzword. His callback buddies tell him to stop living this life style but with 3 years on the job he knows how to conduct himself to get the best results. He'll take the FTO test soon and teach the newbies how to be the real police.

This just in to my mailbox:

When I ran for mayor, I promised to invest in all neighborhoods to create new opportunities for young people and to end the cycle of violence. Our schools are an essential part of that strategy.
Since the inauguration in May, we appointed an experienced and qualified Board of Education with representation that reflects the diverse voices of the students, families, teachers and staff throughout the city. We put a plan in place that will make critical improvements to more than 300 schools – including many long overdue repairs in low-income neighborhoods.
This summer, we also announced a plan that will add 200 social worker positions, 250 nurse positions, and additional case managers for our highest-needs schools. These new positions are crucial for helping meet the unique needs of each CPS student and promoting social-emotional learning in our schools. We also announced a plan to strengthen career and technical education programming in our schools and pledged to spend the next year engaging with the community to determine if there is a more equitable way to fund schools across the district.
We want our teachers to be fairly compensated, and for our schools to compete for talented educators across the region. We’re continuing conversations with teachers and their union on a new contract through a fair and productive collective bargaining process, and we have offered a significant pay increase for the first time in years: the average teacher’s salary would increase 24% over the proposed five-year deal.
I hope that many of you share my excitement for the start of the new school year this week. We’re going to keep working to make this a great year for students, parents and teachers, and do everything in our power to set Chicago kids up for success in a safe and nurturing environment.
Regards,

Mayor Lori E. Lightfoot

From a news article. It’s the fault of the republicans

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot clashed with Sen. Ted Cruz over the latest burst of gun violence in the city, claiming Monday that Chicago’s decades-long crime problem is actually the fault of Republican-run states like Indiana – because they don’t have “commonsense gun legislation” in place.

The mayor called Senator Ted Cruz a coward after he said Chicago’s restrictive gun laws didn’t work. She said most of Chicago’s guns were coming from out of state. She didn’t mention who’s using them. Mike Gallagher pointed out that the maniacal gunman in Texas’ mass shooting killed as many people as were killed in Chicago this past weekend. I’m not running for office as a Democrat. I’m not assigned bodyguards. I want a gun to protect myself in this city.

Riccio is a nice guy but when you look at his career, he really hasnt done much and has been taken care of since the academy. Good for him but that doesnt qualify you for first deputy. I think his dad was an inspector back in the day and obviously had some juice. That's why the kid has been taken care of. I think he came on in 1986 and it's been an easy ride since then.

Mayor looks Lightfoot must end all exempts except for Superintendent to save money and pension .
She can assign Sergeants, Lieutenants to command units and districts , perk would be a car , adjustable hours and a $5,000 yearly bonus if they do a above average job .
Captains if kept as a rank sho7ld be assigned to areas , work 12 hour shifts and in a day off group to cover 24/7 , all year . Captains could replace street deputy , give them a car , no driver .
Sgt. And Lt. Will be applying for these command spots for no extra pay because they know they can do the job better than these overpaid merit politicians hacks .
Promotions from Next test must be in rank order , multiple choice must be graded on sight , Polish know score before they leave , no pass / fail . Count multiple choice part for 50% , short answer 40% and use 10% disciplinary and performance ratings combined .

Slightly off topic, but the pilot community policing program COP (Corrections on Patrol) has been proven to be successful in making our City safe. With the downsizing of the inmate population due to judicious use of I Bonds, even more Correctional Officers are available for crime prevention patrols. This initiative falls under DOPE. (Deputies on Patrol Endeavor). These programs are under the umbrella of DOPI. (Deputies on Patrol Initiative). Please continue to work with our County Partners in continuing to proactively prevent crime in our communities by supporting COP, DOPE and DOPI. Working together we can accomplish more.

OT, but the title to your post is still appropriate. Got my Labor Day chuckle today when I learned that none other than former FOP first vp Ray Ray Casiano is running for FOP president in the 2020 election.

Aside from him likely being THE WORST FOP First VP WE’VE EVER HAD, just what are his qualifications to be president? Could one be that he was second in command and responsible for the agreement that all new guys coming on the job all get fucked out of DUTY AVAILABILITY for the first 42 months? Could another one be that he was second in command and responsible for the agreement that all retirees get fucked because they now pay 2% of their pension check for HEALTHCARE THAT USED TO BE FREE? Could another one be he was second in command and responsible for the agreement that anyone pursuing a degree gets fucked by the reductions in TUITION REIMBURSEMENT? Could another one be that he was second in command and responsible for allowing the DOJ to come into FOP and speak with our members WHICH RESULTED IN A CONSENT DECREE? How many millions did he take out of coppers pockets? Sounds like a guy who was in bed with City to me.

Gee,Ray Ray! How bad will you fuck us all if the membership is dumb enough to elect you? Maybe your first order of business will be to bring back the shit lawyers you, Dean, Bella, and McDonagh just loved. Maybe you can bring back the two secretaries who were the biggest cancer that FOP ever had, but you praised. Maybe you can dream up some new ways to save the City money?

Just how many years have you worked the street during your career? Two? All you have been is a fucking house mouse. How would you have any clue as to what any working copper wants or needs?

You wouldn’t get my vote if you were running for third vp in charge of picking up dog shit around the building. You’re not even qualified to do that.

to rightful criticism...

A typically smug, nasty-assed, diffident, dismissive,
diversionary, deeply rooted in progressvism/permission-slip
urban criminality tolerating non-answer/non-solution by

She would've sounded no less clueless, self-absorbed,
mean, petty and petulant if she had simply replied to Cruz:

"Yo' mamma!"

"Keep our name outcho' mouf!"

The difference is?

>Pfffft!<

Hopefully POTUS starves City Hall to a skeleton
while turning DOJ loose with orders to "Destroy On Sight"
and drive into utter financial ruin every Chicago and Cook County
politician and all of their friends and families up to and including
local media...

It would be nice if they also destroyed Dude Inc. and those
allied with and supportive of Dude as well.

Just like they've done to Policing and Policemen.

It's only "fair," right?

The difference is that THEY expect their pleas for mercy
to be heard and their attempts to sue for peace be accommodated.

Right?

Looking forward to the REAL course of correction
being set in 2020 where the upright and law abiding
will finally be avenged and made whole again.

Heh... The new "narrative" in place of the failed Progressivist/White Guilt
Addled Liberal Democrat policy of promises of "free shit" in exchange
for not being the first to be eaten alive by Dude Inc./The Free Shit Army
when their stated goal of destroying American society actually comes to fruition.

Lets look at span of control. A chief has 3 deputy reporting. A deputy has 3 (2.5) commanders. When I was a sergeant a number of years ago I would have a two or three page log which is about 20 to 30 officers doing front line supervision.

The system is top heavy. Six would be a workable number.

I'll put this here because the original article was vandalism

Someone lamented about piss bums in tents nearby.

Attacking Cruz or anyone else outside our town is cynical misdirection. Scandalous that Chicago "journalists" facilitate this tactic by making Lightfoot's attack on a Senator a thousand miles away the lead on the print and electronic media. The Chicago media are no more than tame poodles for the Democrats.
The real problem is the complete lack of respect for human life in segments of the underclass urban community. the Mayor, who publicly celebrated Pritzger's legislation enabling the killing of early stage humans right up to the moment they exit the birth canal, is part of the problem. Inconvenient lives can be snuffed out if they ARE inconvenient. The problem in Chicago is a complete moral and ethical breakdown, the triumph of EVIL.

How about some accountability from the community! Stop making excuses for them and start demanding they act like civilized citizens. It is not poverty, it is not lack of education, it is not for lack of wasted programs, it is simplify a LACK OF SELF CONTROL. Law of the jungle prevails in all the communities or ghettos or what ever you want to call the once great neighborhoods they have ruined. Yes ruined, lived in the Austin before the people of color moved in in the 60s was great when we left but within 3 years you took your life in your hands driving thru. Same and apartments what changes was the people. Within one year lawns overgrown, garbage strewn all over. Poverty my ads. Laziness and no moral fiber is the problem. Wake up Chicago, while there are still a few decent neighborhoods left. You need to elect new leaders.

Most of the Deputy Chief positions are a complete waste of city dollars. It's a wonder how those positions grew without any real oversight by the City Hall bean counters. I hope Lightfoot is successful with the rumored restructuring, it's about fucking time!

Nothing’s going to happen this year, except maybe a few retirements at end of year. Lying Lori isn’t up to date, especially while she’s gone.

I know many hope that wishful thinking will come to fruition, but don’t set yourself up for disappointment.

She’s just trying to keep her feet in the water until the temp is just right..

She’s evil, so when the time comes, she’ll just have her favorites lined up...............next year.

Go out and seek employment where you’re appreciated and safe..

12:35 pm comment does this comment have anything to do with the attempts to certify corrections as law enforcement officers so they can carry a weapon upon retirement and (I-Rock) and not be like the citizen masses which fall under conceal and carry? Great argument after all this time. Too bad no one is watching to notice. Sheriffs should not do this without the full benefits. So which clout babies kids ate getting this peach of a assignment and what extra training have they received. HELLO DOJ. Not a hater just one who started in bad rap corrections and thru the ranks of CPD and watched the shaft.

WRONG! Captains are "Senior Executive Service." They have a defined process to demote, they are bargaining members and they get overtime. Exempt rank has none of those protections or benefits.

Shootings and killings are the result of mental illness. Law abiding people don't go around shooting and killing people. Gun laws don't stop mental illness nor treat mental illness. Unstable mentally ill people shouldn't be allowed to have firearms.
