Good Question
A reader far wiser than we:
- Why is the superintendent given a pass on showing his “personal beliefs” but if a regular officer wears anything political, they are suspended? You can’t have it both ways. Either officers are freely allowed to show their political preferences in uniform and on duty or they are not. The superintendent was being political in uniform, on duty, and in front of the whole nation. Suspension coming his way?
Of course not. Three sets of rules:
- one for regular cops
- one for white shirts
- one for connected cops
We suppose there's also the non-existent set for puppets.
You want to know what drives most of the resentment you see here day in and day out? Inequitable treatment under Department Rules, Regulations and policy.

Rules don't need no stinking rules I am Fat Head Ed. The rule do not apply to me. FU all.
“Inequitable treatment under Department Rules, Regulations and policy.”. - Chicago Values.
Excellent post!! The hypocrisy on this job is absolutely sickening. This is why no one respects any of these white shirts. Their pathetic ☠️
The officer fired some years back for his anti-abortion beliefs should be looking closely at this. He requested an alternate assignment when sent to guard an abortion clinic and was denied. He refused and was fired.

One of my biggest personal beliefs is not to drive a motor vehicle impaired.
Kind of like a fake impeachment. Seems like it’s the democrats standard operating procedure.
...not to mention bringing discredit upon the department...
Those swat guys with the MAGA hat in their car come to mind. Everyone in the media lost their minds!
In promotions, discipline and assignments, Chicago's version of "merit" (i.e. CLOUT) is a metastasizing cancer which has destroyed the CPD.
"Good Question"
Nary a commonsensical answer to be found.
But...
Default Setting:
"Shut down that nasty, mean and RACIST
conservative echo chamber cop blog
because their values don't reflect
Chicago's values."
...Or some similar such.
And speaking of (delusional) personal beliefs?
We spied this bit of hypocritical knee-walking
in today's scum-times regarding Ed Johnson's
presence or lack of at the IACP conference.
(Little birdies chirping about how Ed actually
having a brick put on his attendance by
the U.S. Secret Service)
Chicago Scum-Times Editorial Board:
"The president’s Dirty Harry routine went over well with some cops
in the room..."
~Snip~
"When Trump gives a speech, he is almost never talking to the people
in the room, except at one of his MAGA rallies. Every speech to any group —
FBI agents, Boy Scouts, Medal of Honor winners, football players —
becomes a self-serving political rant..."
~Snip~
"Don’t be confused by Trump’s circus on Monday, fellow Chicagoans.
The police are on our side, no matter how much we may find fault with them.
Even if this president is not."
Huh?
So now all of a sudden, The Police are on THEIR side?
No matter how much THEY may find fault with The Police?
We were under the impression that The Police
were firmly on the side of the law?
However imperfectly and as much as humanly possible.
Or are we even grudgingly afforded THAT little bit?
How much more arrogant, hubristic, nasty, shit-assed
and cluelessly smug can the Scum-Times editorial board be?
Has any Superintendent been more teflon then this guy?He breaks laws and Department Rules on a daily basis and cowers behind the Clergy of the west and southside if anyone dares to call out his behavior and criminal acts.
Dear Leader passed out drunk while driving a City vehicle, carrying a firearm, then drove away from an active stop. then lied about it, tried to cover the steaming pile of shit up, came clean, then dissed the President of the United States. WTF. Who does this crap and has the gall to show their face in public? Looking in the mirror must be excruciating; I sure couldn't do it.
We really can't even pretend the playing field is level anymore; can't pretend: "all men are equal" in the eyes of the Law. Dunno.
So Fat Head Ed can display his political beliefs for all the world to see but the Officers cannot?
We will certainly see two sets of rules when the swipe in and out audits come out at the end of the month.
You forgot or left out the rules for exempt ranks. Oh I forgot they are exempt from rules and regulations. Hence the wording " exempt rank".
There have been plenty of officers or supervisors who have been investigated for showing their personal beliefs while in uniform.
So why has the IG not started an investigation of this Superintendent?
There has got to be a citizen out there who believes Eddie (the) Johnson has stepped out of his neutral position and taken a side...
In violation of department rules and regs......
Conduct unbecoming of Department member
Supporting political belief while in Uniform
Failure to properly supervise the Department!
And this is just involving the President of US!
Not the incapacitated behind wheel of a car crap!
I still cannot believe this fat drunken slob superintendent can stand up at a podium with his puppets behind him and not be ashamed to blow off the president and spew his political beliefs to the world! What an embarrassment to the CPD and to the uniform!
How dare you make an off-duty MAGA statement to your Facebook friends. Discipline for you!
Because attending a conference isn't his sworn job duty vs some of your examples are aspect of officers not doing their jobs. It's a voluntary extracurricular?
Just about time for Ferguson to come out and clear Fat Head. The edge of the rug is up and the broom has been called for.
There are one set of rules for thee, another for me.
SCC, How many people have signed up for the Sgt's test? Do we have an actual number? Funny, I was stupid enough to sign up for the test, however, never actually paid for it...Well, I have received 2 emails already saying that the payment portion of the exam has been extended (again) till Nov 4th...is the City desperate that not enough have signed up? This is the second time the payment has been extended.
All animals are equal, some are more equal than others . . .
Maybe an intrepid retiree could obtain a CR?
I still like how they got a CR in that Sgt raising money for that poor family in 007 but this guy pretty much does whatever the fuck he wants and crickets from the IG. This is why people don’t care, don’t respect you, nor think you’re our leader. Zero confidence except from the morons you promoted.
Fathead even participated in a civil disobedience event in uniform by marching with Phather Phaker arm in arm ON the Dan Ryan.
I was personally embarrassed seeing him on display like that as I’m sure many coppers were.
HE should’ve been out on his ass after that happened immediately! But like most things, that’s forgotten.
Hypocrisy is the Chicago way!!!
Hey, the Diversey foot guy in 025 proudly wears his “Bernie Sanders” pin on his uniform everyday.
Speaking of two sets of rules, anyone see the several teachers arrested yesterday? From what I read it sounds like criminal trespass to land. Got a CPS teacher friend who sent me copies of the texts they were getting from their union reps. The CTU told their members that there would be no civil disobedience at this protest yesterday at the Lincoln yards. And almost all of the teachers protested within the bounds of the law. BUT there was a handful that entered the building they knew the were not allowed in, and refused to leave. The owners signed complaints and they were all subsequently arrested. Sounds like they went off on their own. As teachers of Chicago’s youth, I think every one of those teachers should be fired. Their behavior was inexcusable. They knew they weren’t supposed to go into the building, they did it anyways. When the owner asked them to leave, they refused. They knowingly and blatantly broke the law because they don’t like their contract. What would happen to one of us, some unclouted blue shirt, if we did something like this and we end up getting arrested just because we don’t like our contract? They shouldn’t get a pass because they’re teachers on strike. Lori should have everyone of them who got arrested, fired. Plenty of teachers out there who want the job that don’t have RAP sheets.
Did anyone see the article where Michelle O blames the plight of the south and west sides on white flight.
So now that it’s out what are we going to do about it? Is it a legitimate issue? If so, let’s move on it. FOP, IG? Where do we go from here?
Ed didn’t go to the Conference for one reason, and one reason only. He didn’t want to be embarrassed in front of his peers especially after the “napping behind the wheel” incident. He knew Trump would rip him a new and it would be shown nationally. I’m sure that Mayor’s office wrote Ed’s statement about the values not matching Trump’s values. What really peeves me is that Ed states that he represents Chicago values. No single person can say that. A person can only represent his own values. Shut up talking stupid Ed.
Is anyone going to get a CR# on him??

And has to hide behind larry as she talks for him. Teflon his complete laughable command staff is the same, they do whatever they want even that goof that took moms social security for years yes he was charged what are the odds he will go to jail where he belongs? How about running the personal child day care idiot,and the speed racer causing the Indiana sate police to chase him,and how many more in this cast of thousands?
And let's please remember that Ed is a hand picked puppet of the city administration. The man never applied for the job. That means he never wanted it. Instead of having the balls to say "pass" when it was offered he jumped on the bandwagon. Why? For himself. To build his ego. But really, compared to past leaders what has he accomplished? Did we reorganize to establish a citywide response unit? Did we get rid of the ridiculous XO position? Have the prima donna inside spots been adequately trimmed? Has the quality of in-service training increased? Has basic equipment dramatically improved? How about the police facilities? We're still the same. Ed has done nothing.
Did any of the exempt staff attend the presidents speech? My guess is no. They are all to a man fucking cowards. You have Officer Wazny who has went through hell and back getting honored during the speech by the president and you had what there to support him maybe a Lt and a few Sgt's? Every fucking decision made by this department is political.

BE THE CHANGE! he lead'n by example fool
Whos worse ScumTimes or Fibune, always overlooking the truth.
Didn't his actions bring discredit upon the department?
The superintendent is the official spokesman for the department.
He’s just the wrong spokesman.
Accountability.... top/down, enforce what is on the books and be a good person (not hard)
Everyone needs to realize that this department, city and state are not legitimate period. Everybody is out for themselves. The problem is that a lot of people hope for people in charge wether elected or appointed will do the right thing. Unfortunately that isn’t happening and I don’t see things changing any time soon. People need to take a good look around them wherever they are working and stick together with people who they feel will do the right thing in most situations. And please stop the proactive police work. Car chases foot chases are going to get you suspended fired or charged with a crime. I wish that wasn’t the case but for now it is. There are still many opportunities to lock criminals up on routine calls for service.
He is EXEMPT from following the rules.
The merit system was genius anti-union politics. Especially since it was dreamed up by the Chicago machine, which gets quite a bit of it's cash from unions.
Perhaps a citizen reader can get a complaint, aka “C.R. Number” for a “Rule 42 Violation”. If a copper does it, he/she will be destroyed professionally
Half the department swipes while the other half doesn't, whos smarter for it ?
Jussie Smollet. Nothing happened to him. Nothing.
That's all you need to know how corrupt Chicago is, so no surprise here.
That was not his political beliefs.
That was a protest against the adult in the room,
cloaked in political ephemera, directed by Mayor Lightfoot.
"As a black man, at the end of the day, I have more questions than answers..." who uttered these infamous words?
Anyone have the actual #'s on how many Sgt exams were PAID for? I see they extended the payment deadline ANOTHER week.
On the bright side, they extended the power test another couple days for days off being cancelled. Now, go run in the snow!
It’s the same for the top generals and joint chiefs in our military. They cannot speak on politics. At state of the unions they cannot clap on most topics because the generals must not be motivated or support politics while on active duty. Not outr superintendent. He can say whatever he wants to appease the masses and mayor. Johnson jumped the shark when he was deputy chief. Not a bad Lt in area 1 but otherwise he turned into a yes man as soon as he got those scrambled eggs on his hat.
Another way to explain Department rules.
1. One set of rules for those who work at headquarters, loose.
2. Another set of rules for those who work in civilian dress, mediocre.
3. another set of rules work those who work in uniform, strict.
FOP please initiate a CR against Ed for violating general orders.
For non-fireable offenses there is different discipline. Unlike everyone else who can be reprimanded or given time off in terms of X many days captains and above can be only reprimanded or suspended in seven day increments. So the higher ranks can be reprimanded, suspended for seven days, 14 days, 21 days, 28 days....etc. That is one reason why so many exempts who are disciplines are only reprimanded. They should change that rule and allow them to be suspended like everybody else.
In the Army it's called Different Spanks for Different Ranks. It gets even more ludicrous when it comes to transgressions committed by West Point grads, the so called "ring knockers". They are well known for looking out for one another.
Memo to TJIV: The Jerk In Virginia

training because he was up late last night monitoring
SCC blog. SCC and the cops of Chicago are living
rent free in his Virginia-based head. You can't pay
full attention because you're nursing the blue light
electronic screen hangover trying to be in two places
at once. Meanwhile, your FBI handlers wonder why
Chicago would send them a sleepy-eyed loser. Hey,
maybe Chicago cops suffer from sleeping sickness,
top down, starting with the chief. Trust us folks, TJIV

Local drug stores report a run on NoDoz.
Eddie has no "beliefs"
He does what he's told
Looking for a new sup? How about this winner from North Carolina. Long story short, ignorant woman sees stuffed animals in patrol car, one a monkey. She is appalled and immediately uploads a video to flakebook with all the usual stupid comments. And of course an internal investigation. Turns out that the "Winston-Salem Police Department has equipped all of their Patrol Cars with stuffed animals for over 20 years, regularly donated to the WSPD by various organizations and individuals for the primary purpose of calming children that have been traumatized by violent acts, vehicle crashes, fires, or any other type of trauma that may have occurred to a child." But of course this pos, Chief Catrina Thompson, has to still apologize to anyone who “found this circumstance to be offensive,” and said the department will make it a point to “confirm our stuffed animals are not offensive” in the future. Confirm? Best get a neighborhood activist group to do that for you, eh chief. So one assumes they removed the monk and any other potentially "racist" stuffed animals. Real crime and this is what they are on about. Are all chiefs of police like this today, simply spineless political tools? Why didn't she just say, well if you had asked the officer, or called in or come in and asked about it we would have explained it to you. No damn reason to apologize and grovel to the community. This fool would be a wonderful new doormat for Le Groot. This kind of petty stuff makes me sick. Bet she sure won't stick up for officers if even this trivial thing has her pandering to the usual suspects.

Ralph Papa Thorson Says:
Yes, this has always been the Chicago Way. A triple-Standard for Employees, Pay-to-Pay, Promotional Test Rigging, Double-Dipping Union Officials, and Mob Influence in Crook County Governmental Affairs. And still no significant Criminal Indictments or Arrests by Federal Law Enforcement. They just investigate feebly, and the offenders die of old age, or get locked up when they hit 80 or more years old, just in time to get free lodging, meals, medical, dental, and optical in a Country Club Federal Prison, before the Feebs really do anything significant. Who are the dummy's here ? Yes, WE are..

I'm sure everyone flipped their shit when they saw the moron commander from 025 on the list.

That may be according to a generalized written statement
that did not take into account:
1. Age & physical condition of operator
(60 years of age, obese, hypertensive, transplant patient
due to limited kidney function)
2. Applied Pharmacokinetics and Physiology
Welcome to age 60, the entry portal to geriatrics.
Congratulations, you made it this far. Here's your 'status':
Decreased liver size and number of functioning cells.
Translation: you can't hold your alcohol like you did in your
20s. You get drunk "faster" and stay drunk "longer."
Your heart has also shrunk and lost ejection fraction capacity
since your 20s. Translation: after being stressed day-by-day
from obesity, it lumbers after a large meal and alcoholic drinks.
The alcohol is calorie rich and must be digested along with
the food.
Google: 'Holiday Heart'. It happens every year around
Thanksgiving & Christmas. Heavy meals topped off with
alcohol in people who usually don't drink. The heart is
burdened with an unusually heavy load to the point of a
myocardial infarction ('heart attack').
So throw away that paper with general orders.
Drinking & driving always boils down to "too fast for
conditions." It's always individualized.
slightly OT.....if SEIU has security officers in the schools per the contract, then why is CPD putting Officers in Schools?
For anyone who had a kidney transplant, they shouldn't be drinking alcohol beverages at all!
