He was Intoxicated!
So to that unpublished buttwipe complaining that he worked in 009 and why didn't we publish his comment claiming there was no supervision on scene, Special Ed was having a "medical incident" and we were just stirring the pot, you want to apologize now or later?
- Chicago police Superintendent Eddie Johnson admitted to Mayor Lori Lightfoot that he had “a couple of drinks” Wednesday night before he fell asleep in his car after pulling over when he felt ill, the mayor told the Chicago Sun-Times on Friday.
The new detail came a day after Johnson went public about the incident and called for an investigation on himself by the department’s Bureau of Internal Affairs.
In remarks to reporters Thursday night, Johnson blamed the incident on his failure to take his blood pressure medication.
You aren't the only cop working in 009 - we passed through a time or two and know lots of people there. People we trust way more than you. And they state unequivocally that Special Ed was toasty....to say the least. Did Special Ed have a gun on him? There would seem to be a Rule violation there to say the least.
By the way, how big of an asshole do you have to be to get a kidney from your own son (placing his future health in a precarious state), then jeopardize the transplanted organ's continued function by mixing drinks with medication?
The over/under on Ed's continued employment is now Tuesday of next week. Place your bets.

He gone!
But did he swipe!?!?!?!?!??@?!?@
I heard he had a half empty mad dog in the car and was yelling at PPO’s on scene telling them “do you know who i am”
Just retire already. Enjoy it, focus on your health Ed.
This guy is officially the dumbest MFer we've ever had as a superintendent.
Boy that IAD Investigation should reveal about 10 Department Members of various ranks failed to conduct the appropriate DUI Investigation along with the administrative investigation regarding several Department Rule violations.And what about the collecting of all of the Body Cameras before they could be docked uploading the videos of the incident?Still lots of questions out there.
Monday West-World oh boy good bye Ed you cognac/ Hennesy and Coke drinking M/F
Did the media ever ask where he was at before he pulled over to the side of the road to sleep off his intoxication? If he was at a public place then where was he, and with whom? That's a pretty late dinner he had. A little too late unless he was at a Steak and Egger. Okay, no reason to release the body cam footage while the investigation is underway but it wouldn't hurt to name the location he was at. Come on pussy media. You shouldn't have to be taken by the hand and told and helped along on how to do your jobs. If he was at a friend's house then everyone is shit out of luck with getting any evidence of him being over served. If he was out at Red Lobster or Outback then that could be a game changer and where ever he was at better hold on to any video evidence.
So who's going to take it in the
coal chute for the resulting
cover-up and absconding/purging
of the in-car and BWC footage?
Typical shit-head/lick-hitter
mentality...
"If'n it ain't no video, y'all can't prove no crime!"
If he cant drive a car sober or not. How can he steer the department?
did WOL TG call her bf and ask him for advice?
Best part is he confided in the mayor lmao. If she knew then how come isn’t he placed on desk duty and stripped for his safety. What about DUI statement made of drinking while driving. Was that a personal or city vehicle? Cameras at restaurant or place where drinks were consumed. A confidential CR? Ask the question what if same incident was a blue shirt?
End of year, but he’ll burn all his leave, so I’m going to say he’ll clean out his office the week prior to Thanksgiving. It won’t be because he was fired either.
Aren’t exempts on duty at all times? So if they slip and fall at home it’s considered IOD as an example? So if he had some dranks it would be drinking while on duty correct?
Of course he was. Let's see all the bodycam footage.
As someone who has a transplanted organ the answer is you CAN’T drink. I’m grateful for everyday that I’m still on this planet. Shame on him.
What’s amazing about this story is the fact that Johnson and Lightfoot keep saying they’ll wait for IADs investigation to complete. Is this some kind of a joke? Why waste anyone’s time? That’s like having Johnson investigate himself. Or like having James Comey investigate Hilary Clinton. It’s a big nothing. Ridiculous
He was stopped at what 1230 AM. and today stated he had a few drinks BEFORE. dinner. What time did he eat dinner, 1130. Not too many reastaurants serving at 1130
So riddle me this. If he gone before the (sham) investigation is complete does that mean he retired NOT in good standing (ie under investigation)? If so he will not get his credentials. Oh wait, IAD will have this wrapped up before Tuesday. Closed as Unfounded so Ed can retire with full credential. Unlike a certain Sergeant that they have been jacking around because he blew the whistle on the LieTenants. His CR has been dormant for 2 years keeping him from retiring “in good standing”.
Will make for a banner week for groot, end the teacher strike then gas eddy. She might have a “few drinks” to celebrate.
Where was Big Eds Detail? I didn't think he went anywhere without a driver?
Maybe Special Ed should check himself into a hospital? And stay there!
Slumped over the steering wheel. On medicine and drinking. It sounds like a sobriety test was in order. How exactly was it determined Ed wasn’t under the influence.
He should be treated just like everyone else. He got a free pass. Release the video. I’m calling my Aldermen on Monday and demand the Aldermen conduct a hearing on Ed’s ability to lead.
Ed needs to put himself in the program. Two blocks from his home and passed out while operating a motor vehicle.
Ed can no longer lead with this going on.
Ed this is your training and your policies. Now just stop telling lies and retire. Disgraceful.
The Superintendent just discredited everyone who wears the uniform. He does not have the ability to lead.
Story keeps changing. He is not truthful. Rule 14 violation.
Pathetic!!!!
Within a week of the IACP conference I believe he gone, it’s best for all involved 🍺
Fire his ass. If not, anyone having a medical incident similar to his should get a pass just as him.
Since Special Ed was technically DUI, shouldn’t he be stripped, sent to Call Back, and prohibited from carrying a firearm pending the outcome of the investigation.
Oh that’s right the Rules are different for Exempts.
"By the way, how big of an asshole do you have to be to get a kidney from your own son (placing his future health in a precarious state), then jeopardize the transplanted organ's continued function by mixing drinks with medication" ANSWER: The Same Asshole that lets his wife get away with Cheating on the LT's Exam. And she works in 009 Too! Makes you want to say Hmm... Think she won't try to cover this up?
I admit that night I had a drink, because I lost a good Officer. As far as my circumstances surrounding my health-I’d prefer to keep that to myself. I understand and appreciate the responsibility it was to keep the Officers ...
Off Topic.
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/10/18/rasmussen-51-voters-suspect-high-level-crimes-stop-trump-presidency/
The national survey, obtained via telephone and the Internet, shows 51 percent of likely U.S. voters believe high-level law enforcement officials have broken the law to stop Trump from winning the White House.
Rasmussen Reports states that even 42 percent of Democrats “now suspect high-level wrongdoing to stop Trump.”
Buh-bye!
Good bye !
Transparency and accountability does not apply Kidney Bean.... I honestly feel bad for the guy or girl who gets a DUI from CPD instead of a ride home given the 3 Kidneys on this clown. Go retire now Kidney Bean... when u blow out your 3rd Kidney, I bet you will get a 4th from some douch who will make rank
At this point, does he have more questions than answers?
Million fucking pod cameras in Chicago, more than LONDON! What's on them? Media is all covering for him just like how they never wanted to offend Obama, EVER. The Districts Pod Camera room have a lot of this saved too watching from the station, sure do! How about the buzz word, "Transparency " ???? Somehow it's conveniently not advocated for "transparency" for this incident. No Standard Field Sobriety Check, NADA? No, force to blow in a machine? It doesn't even have to be related to the possible DUI, the mere fact he had a gun and was intoxicated, a Blow immediately would have shown if he has ANY level of intoxication to be in possession of loaded gun. They would of scewed the little guy, non-cop or policeman in 2 seconds, but all the rules are out the window because of his rank. The huge alleged cover up of JVD and people went to prison and criminally charged on reports, because of the alleged "cover-up". Haven't anyone learned anything since? If a smart guy was on scene, "Sorry boss, I am just following the rules and department policy, render medical assistance and ambulance whether you like or not, I am doing exactly what you want me to do to jam up other officers, oh wait, you are exempt and rules and laws don't apply to me, just the non-connected, blue shirts, and ordinary citizens." Now that he escaped that immediate Breathlyzer that should of been performed, he is going to go on and stick with his poor sob story about medicine and pills. Chicago, corrupt from top to bottom. Always have, and always will be. Retire as quickly as possible, to get away from this corrupt shit show circus guys and gals! Don't forget to swipe in and swipe out and be a robot bending over when Groot tells you in this Toilet of Job!!! And don't forget to shave your 2 day facial hair, because you will be treated more harshly than the Supe Drinking & Driving, by an A-Hole inspector. Boys and Girls, REMEMBER the F.O.P. contract is expired for 2-3 years and yet the liberal CPS teachers strike, and get treated like gold. Weird times we live in. Everything is backwards, who in the heck would do ******ANYTHING****** with the morale and corruption that is staring at us in the face. Don't forget Foxx wants to prosecute in 2 seconds if you make a mistake! *Exception: Free pass for Eddie Johnson
He betrayed his son, Daniel.
You know when liver transplants first started (and they
probably still do this) patients received testing & counseling
and promised NOT to drink with the new liver.
Ed is just as bad. Alcohol is processed by liver, then excreted
by THE KIDNEY. You're stressing that organ when you have
a transplant.
As for Daniel, he must feel betrayed. He'll go thru life cognizant
of the fact that he only has one kidney and must monitor his
health EVERY DAY! Proper rest, hydration, proper diet. He won't
have the opportunity to get blasted like his dad because
alcohol will hit him like a ton of bricks, with only one kidney to
excrete it. Thanks, Dad.
You guys may not like fat head Ed but we fall into this same trap every single time. You do it with the mayor and Supt. You hated Daley.. everyone cheered when he was gone.. then we got Rahm and everyone cried. Rahm was leaving and everyone cheered. Everyone got on the Lightfoot bandwagon over preckwinkle and Lightfoot was elected. Everyone praised it and thought it was gonna be good. Now, once again everyone is crying and crying loud. Everyone hated Cline then you got Jody weis. Everyone hated weis and you got Mccarthy. Everyone hated Mccarthy and we got Johnson. Everyone hates Johnson and just WAIT until you see who we get. What I CAN tell you is that it will not be a cop. It will be another outsider and a civilian who will care nothing about actual street operations but will only care about jamming Lightfoot a agenda down the departments throat in the name of the consent decree and reform. Watch what you wish for. Don’t forget, Lori already said that she will give that community action group a seat at the table when the next supe is picked. Those were the same communists who were calling for the cpd to be dissolved and for our city to not have a police force. I’m out of here in a year, best of luck.
As to that statement, "I have more questions than answers."
Well, he's about to get his questions answered real quick.
cover up and collusion .
So he admits to drinking and driving, regardless of BAC; with all the people called to that scene, no one figured that out? And no FSTs or blow? Makes you say "hmm."
Who made the decision to let him drive home when it was apparent that he was intoxicated? This is now a major mess .
Conspicuous silence (crickets) from the resident agitators:
Bobby Rush, Rev. Jackson, Sharpton, Mike Pflager.
Whatsa matter? Cat got your tongue?
He definitely knew NOT to go to the hospital since what do they do? That's right..draw blood and he doesn't want that since blood results show BAC levels. The Sup confides that he did drink, which doesn't matter if its 1, 2 or 3 its still DUI. Everyone is different on how they handle their liquor. The news reports that officers on scene DID NOT see or smell any sign of impairment but yet on here we hear otherwise...will IAD be interviewing the officers on scene?? I hope the officers are truthful along with an FOP rep with them at the time of interview. This Mayor and her "CHANGE" campaign promise doesn't seem to be working out...There is NO reason for confessing to a Mayor you were drinking and driving and yet NO punishment..after all, why do an investigation...The Fat Head himself admitted, "I had a couple of drinks" passed out behind a wheel. What more do you need Mayor? Hopefully asshole Supt, you get fired and know exactly how Officer Rialmo felt. Seriously, the FOP needs to get everyone marching and pushing the fact that their is NO Confidence in ED more than ever. In addition to the teachers, perhaps we should be marching too by City Hall and send a message.
Was Varrick there telling everyone to be nice to him and not to let the blog know.
He should of had Wodnicki drive him home. He would have been tucked in by the little fella before 1230
Mrs. Krabappel and Principal Skinner were in the closet making babies and I saw one of the babies and the baby looked at me!
C’mon. A “slumper” at 12:30 am at a STOP sign can only mean one thing. Unless they’re dead, it’s DUI.
Don't worry guys, Joe Ferguson will look at this case 7 ways to Sunday (I think that's what he does now) and just like the LT exam scandal: He will get to the bottom of this case.
Cognac and Coke is like a speedball for working stiffs.
Multi-drug interactions here. B.P. med(s), alcohol, caffeine.
Caffeine is what they call a "mechanical diuretic": it makes
the heart beat faster than normal, pushing more blood thru
the kidney, hence increase urination. Alcohol + caffeine are
a no-no for a transplanted kidney. It's like putting a turbocharger
on a transplanted organ! I am certain, in this day and age, that
Ed received EXTENSIVE medical counseling NOT to abuse
that transplanted organ. He received a list of do's and don'ts
AND he had to sign off on it! They call that a "contract" in the
Medical Profession. It's given to drug abusers and transplant
patients. My part-time lawn cutter, age 32, just had a heart
transplant due to an autoimmune issue. You know what the
price tag on that baby was/is? $2M and counting! The heart
came from Philly and was Hepatitis Positive. They did the
transplant first, then killed the Hepatitis with drugs. Poor guy
almost didn't make it. You talk about ungrateful? Ed, you
should be ashamed of yourself and issue an apology to the
City of Chicago, the CPD, the Mayor, and last but not least,
your dear son.
Will there be alcoholic drinks at the IACP conference ?
I’m in !!
Im sorry to say but everyone associated with this incident should be fired, just like Laquan. That goes for POs, Sgts, Lts, Cpt and commander in 009
If true, he should do the noble thing and simply retire. Not much more to be said about that.
The next obvious question is, who will be the next supt. For many years Carter has been posturing for the post. Prediction: Supt will be an outsider; Staples to 1st Deputy, Carter will do short stint as Chief of Patrol and then retire for more lucrative post down south.
This job is extremely challenging for any of us who wear, or have worn the CPD police uniform. With that comes many faults for which we must all pay a price. Regardless of the outcome, I applaud ALL men/women in blue who had enough courage to help maintain the safety and freedom of the ungrateful. Be careful, be smart, and be mindful of your conduct and the climate.
Wonder where he was drinking?
Wonder who he was drinking with?
Will whomever served him speak?
Even without being fired, how does Groot deal with rules violations?
Carrying weapon while drinking?
Operating city vehicle under the influence?
What about the investigation of EVERY sworn member that was on, or summoned to the scene?
So MANY questions.
How, Lord tell us how, this episode gets SPUN by Groot into Kidney (under the influence) Bean continuing to cash a city paycheck twice a month??????????????????????????????????
I would like to see his investigation expedited like the one he did on Commander Darren Doss. He put most everyone in IAD, especially that spineless weasel Lt. Andre Parham who would do absolutely anything to get promoted. How do you have your people investigate you? Send it to the IG's office Mr. Transparent.
By not firing his ass, LL just showed all of the hard-working officers of CPD and the community that it pays to be a vip and there are double standards. End of story. By not firing him immediate, LL put a black eye on the whole department. He’s the leader of a group of people tasked with ensuring the community follows the rules, and he’s found passed out in a car that he’s driving drunk???? Are you kidding that he got not repercussion or was not fired. Also, really? Sent the driver away to be with his own family? The driver should be fired too.
Hey there “Black Caucus” what say you now that you vouched for a drunken idiot ? Guess all the “promises “ and worthless when your “chosen one” is bounced
Does anyone recall McCarthy having domestic in Niles white eagle?
All of that disappeared fast, and he was golden like his shooting street lights out till video of shooting hit him
Eddie will retire and all will be forgiven.
Signed Lori,
Having " a couple of drinks and feeling lightheaded ".....
That's called "impaired" you dumb fuck.
See if all his friends who will surely complete an unbiased investigation can figure that out.
He gave most of IAD their spots, merit promoted the supervisors there, they know him on a first name basis.
What a fucking joke.
And btw, you're an asshole parent for abusing his kidney.
First of all, he lied. Complete contrived story 180 degrees
away from his alcohol consumption. He cast doubt on his
physician and implied that he missed a dose of hypertension
medication.
Eddie was pissed that the Little Rahm Lightfoot was pressing for Rialmo to be fired. Trying to break free from his puppet strings in an attempt to shake free from that Groot, he look some that truth serum the Lean, but ran out of Sour Patch kids. Wine it was. Take it to the bank.
Hes one messed up cluster. With all this, he'll probably go out with a huge pension, bounce into rehab, and groot will bring in a soros buddy to replace all the decent leos, just like that lot did with other agencies. If you think special ed was bad, soon he'll look like a saint. Gee maybe crimesha, quackme or smellit will replace him?
Flee the city.
God bless our blue!
The time of "It's our time" is over. It will take years to fix the damage he has caused with the incompetent fools he's promoted.
Even democratic run liberal cnn world news covered it:
https://www.cnn.com/2019/10/18/us/chicago-police-eddie-johnson-investigation/index.html
So now the asshole media is going to start going after the poor coppers that were forced to deal with this mess by luck of the draw. They're going to be thrown right in the middle of some "cover up" bullshit because he's a fucking liar. Shame on you fathead. In traditional CPD fashion, I would say that this incident would get him promoted, but I guess he's kind of topped out already. I guess he'll have to suffer with an unplanned retirement and a high paying civilian job with the city.

How many across the nation had their lives and financial security ruined for the same thing. Were they allowed to flee the scene in anything but the back of a police car or ambulance?
I'm NOT pro drunk driving (they've caused family deaths and I've been experienced a speeding, clouted, drunk driver broadside where I was blamed not the drunk). Rather, I'm all about true fairness.
Bye special Ed. Take your prolems to God and a well qualified therapist.
I guess dealing with the groot drove him to tipple over. That's truly hazard duty.
So long, farewell, auf wiederehen, goodbye . . . . . .
Chirp - Chirp

Can't wait for Special Ed's Accountability Monday!
The media should have been FOIAing the bodyworn cameras YESTERDAY!!!
He open his mouth and inserted his foot, what a tool. Now SCC just planted a foot up his stupid ass. Way to call out a ignorant POS.
Maybe someone should talk with the people at Tufanos. Just sayin.
Had this same thought SCC...
By the way, how big of an asshole do you have to be to get a kidney from your own son (placing his future health in a precarious state), then jeopardize the transplanted organ's continued function by mixing drinks with medication?
How someone name names of all at the Scene? Or at least
T initials and rank. Enquiring minds want to know. Will be valuable info when next merit list hits the street. Also to anyone in 009 that is a Fat Head hater spill the beans about what really happened.
Release the BWC!
I would love to know which of the supervisors on the scene were merit.
Well at least he didn't shoot out any street light while drunk.
Eddie still denies drinking. Only the mayor says he was drinking (and Chuck Gowdie who should know what it feels like to drive impaired. Chuck still reads the blog, Hiya chuck)
Expect Lori to be "mistaken" in her statement after visits from Jesse jackson, Fr Flakey and the black caucus members who stood with him earlier in the week concerning the laquan video. Will Eddie speak at operation PUSH this morning to declare he is the victim of racists rumors?
I take four different blood pressure medications that represent the various types, and knock back quite a few on a regular basis, and the notion that drinking and failing to take medication would make you feel ill is, in my experience, absurd. The reason is that high blood pressure does not really make you feel ill, and, even if it did, alcohol intoxication tends to at least temporarily lower blood pressure. I suppose it's possible that inadvertently taking too much medication, or taking medication for the first time could make you feel ill, but I've never experienced that either.
Eddie just acting stupidly. Any word on our retro?
Of course he was! His bull shit excuse of a change in high blood pressure medication by his doctors, doesn’t hold water! Especially when you forget to take only one evening dose of the new medication! And it surely won’t make you fall asleep while driving! It would only make your blood pressure go up over time, if you continue to miss several doses over several days! Which would damage his donated kidney over several months or years depending on his diet! Then probably, the only way he’d be slumped in his car on the roadway! Would be because his Fat Ass was having a Fucking Stroke, that rendered him unconscious! And the paramedics wouldn’t let the police take him home if that was the case, or any other acute medical conditions! So, he had to be Flat Out, Fuck”in Drunk!!!
If you know you will be out drinking why wasn't his driver with him? I used to drive for a boss back in the day and went everywhere with him, I patiently waited outside for him and sometimes other bosses drivers and myself had dinner too.maybe Eddie was somewhere he didnt want an audience. Eddie needs to retire NOW and take your pension. Mrs.Fenner will ha e your back ,yeah right. I bet if he quits she will leave him since he will be no good to him then.
Talk about more questions than answers.
Is Google Me still claiming there’s no preferential treatment??
Hopefully the blue shirts don’t get screwed!
WHATS the CR #???
need it so FOP can FOIA IT later.
CANT get a retiree star either if he quits.
What car was he in?
Where was his lovely wife? YEP a friend and that would be a bigger problem think future captain?
What was the spot he had LATE DINNER??? its a house and YEP they wear a white shirt too.
HOW much time does FERGUSON give for cover ups? Keep in mind
ED has
BEEN investigated for cheating scandal
WATCHING AND HIDING LAQUAN video
NOW a GOOD Real police DUI cover up.
Great leader keep on swiping!
How many times have I seen an entitled official dozing over the wheel of a car, figuratively intoxicated with their own entitlement. Instead of firing Eddie Johnson, they should should have him pose for a giant bronze statute in that very pose, and place it in Daley Plaza to rival the Picasso. Chicago, home of the Picasso, the Miro, and the Merit (pronounced muh-reet).
How many times have we heard, “ I only had 2 beers.” ♠️
And who owns the Tahoe he was driving? CPD! In that case you cant have any drinks.
My over/under is right after the teacher's strike is settled. She'll give him the opportunity to go for medical reasons like it was his idea.

And thats quite a feat.
Never tell a cop you just had one drink and never tell them you quit counting after five. We'll take a "couple" for 500 Alex.
IS this the same thing that happened when he didn't see the Lauquan Mcdonald video? Or was he just drunk there also? I see a pattern of abuse and cover-up. Get rid of this slob, he is an embarrassment and always has been. A diversity appointment, slip through the cracks hoodlum. Nothing more!
I have total faith that IAD will complete a thorough investigation and report its unbiased findings to Riccio, who will faithfully execute the proper procedures.....bwahahahahaha! BTW, isn't it against the rules to even have one drink and drive, per Jody Wies?
How many drunks have you arrested that only had "Two Drinks" ?
Patients are on a long waiting list for a kidney to become available and Ed gets his sons. I thought you go through a psych evaluation before the transplant to insure that you will be complient in your post op life style. Perhaps think long and hard before donating, your prescious organ will go to a drunk!

Please summon Barb West to my office, I need a new stooge, i mean superintendant!
Yessum!
Can you imagine the lunatic that Larry will select to replace him?
Him and his cronies were in the empty lot with set-ups from the bar next door after dinner at churches chicken
ssc no f-cking kidding as a vet , no clout n cpd and a dui writer he was an 11-501
also he is stupid too if you are taking high blood pressure meds no alcohol
also to hunter biden if you join the navy no cocaine
he was partying with reired deputy chief frank radke
go figure
He screwed himself and made us as a Department look bad. There’s no sugar coating it. He should be gone, for several reasons. I just feel bad for the first officers on scene. They will get the brunt of this. Smh
Looks like Ed is not going to get his full superintendent pension will have problem landing another chief's gig with this incident now part of his resume.
Groot is all smiles now that Ed has gift wrapped the opportunity to bring in outsiders to "lead" the department.
I wonder if the Alderman Black Caucus will be having another press conference to show their support for Special Ed.
Speaking of Trump the off topic post. Was at a family gathering last night. Three who voted Clinton said they are voting Trump now. I was shocked and believe the polls are complete BS. At least 10% of Trump voters are afraid to admitt it in public. Two of them are CPS teachers and said they litteraly fear retaliation if they told their co-workers they like Trump.
this reminds of the frank sinatra song " thats life"
Can well fed Ed strip himself? I’m sure he has more questions than answers regarding his sobriety.
lori has no problem with Ed drinking , she said let iAd handle it .
wait a minute Lori , drinking , driving a city vehicle is ok .
was vehicle in gear with his foot on the brake ?
gps cell , vehicle. wheelie wants to know lol
my personal opinion , if I responded , 19B. I would've drove Eddie home , no video footage , that's what the real police are about , thin blue line . Be careful what you wish for , Eddie is , was na tough copper in the day . Sure he has to say , do things because of his title , that's life my friend , but he does have our back when possible .
next superintendent will be some pencil neck , never been the police , maybe a civilian . LL is not our friend .
Rule 14
Remember working the Daley Center years ago when Sheriff Dart went crazy when a deputy asked him to show his identification. Wanted to have her written up for doing her job. Then the Chief at roll call the next day had a picture of dart after he just became Sheriff cause the Deputy really didnt recognize him. So tired of these political hacks having a different set of rules.
I would bet that the people on scene are among the next merit promotions
No surveillance video of the places KidneyBean patronized prior to “nodding off” in his department whip will be made public as he was in the company of his “lady friend” when those libations were consumed.
And body cam vids won’t be released as it’d show KidneyBean not slumped over the wheel, but driving 4-5 blocks, initially refusing to pull over for the original unit attempting to conduct the traffic stop of the erratically driven / suspected impaired operator. Oh yeah... then there was the crack-the-window-an-inch-while-pressing-his-credentials-to-the-glass move. Yup, Fathead went full ghetto. Don’t believe it? Ask someone who was on scene that’s not afraid to speak the facts.
Any kind of video evidence of this incident will be deep-sixed, bet on that. The coverup had started long before the Stupidintendent asked to have himself “investigated for transparency”.
🍺🥃🍷 He gone!
Alright DUI gurus. Let’s dissect.
Case exhibit #1
911 call of a driver asleep at a stop sign.
Driver observed in control of vehicle.
Driver admits to having a couple alcoholic beverages
Driver admits to taking prescription medication.
Driver admits this caused him to become sleepy, IMPAIRED!!!!!!
Can he now be charged with DUI????
Can it be proved?
For god sake he admits to all of it.
Fact: he was driving impaired and was allowed to continue to drive impaired. If he crashed and killed someone ....
DUTY OF CARE. CPD sued.
This is a prime cause of exempt being exempt from everything. This undermines his authority. The same thing with the Commander who did an make believe study. You undermined your own authority. You did it. No one else.
And what do they both have in common? Leaving out crucial fakes and creating a false narrative. “The Chicago Way.”
If he doesn’t retire, he will put all of the officers at the scene in the spotlight. They don’t deserve to get middled in this.

Another display of his many bad decisions in that 3-1/2 year span, not limited to the many incompetent Merit slugs.
His own comments on the news radio said he was given a new prescription, that he didn’t take, didn’t replace, blah blah blah.
Somewhere it states that the new script was on the advice of his cardiologist.
Is he lying again?
Not sure what the medical history is, but cardiologist isn’t the one to re-prescribe medications unless there’s an immediate necessity to treat a current BHP spike. Cardiologist appointments are not routine unless there’s serious heart problems. Just can’t walk-in, can’t get a appt. for weeks, so if this new script was part of a current ongoing follow up, makes one wonder how long Jugg had been taking the old stuff before it became a problem. Sure it could have been a phone order but we’re talking heart condition not cough syrup. No doctor will swap a med w/o an exam, a referral to the family practice physician is who switches meds based on ones reactions.
That being said, is his condition that grave of a concern to have long standing cardiologist appointments?
How long had this old medicine been causing problems, when was the new stuff prescribed?
Anyone who initiates his own IAD investigation seems suspicious, especially when he immediately gives out all these excuses, publicly. To me, that’s stalling.
Again, I’ll bring up Merit promotions and how many did he appoint to run the corrupt IAD, two?
Groot was told to back off. Funny, she ain’t no-how Angry as Hell™️ over this.
I think Jugghead will head on out to the Medical Section before he’s ever outright dumped.
He’s still being protected by Rahm’s sellouts.
Just a six month ride into the big payout.
He won't get fired. It's like when a leftist politician is discovered to have worn "blackface". It's not a big deal when their guy does it.
He has got to have a problem. After holding a press conference to save his job he risks everything to have a cocktail and drive....
That is insane. As the superintendent, even drinking one glass of wine and entering the driver’s seat of a vehicle ‘looks’ improper. Reminds me of parents drinking at little league games before driving their children home. Extremely inappropriate and indicative of having a problem with alcohol and morals
I agree we should be calling for his head. Not because of this incident though. For the past 3 plus years he’s thrown this department under the bus, refused to support his officers and flip flopping on firing cops.
I amazed all of a sudden we have so many DUI experts in this department. All the years I’ve been on the streets in city wide units, I’ve never seen anyone out there doing what so many are saying should have been done to Ed. Each district has a few DUI gurus and I doubt they would handle this incident the way so many are describing here. Drag him out of the car, sobriety test and make him do the perp walk for the whole world to see. I’m sad that this wasn’t handled differently. People on here are talking about eating our own. This city has divided this department. Its only happened a few times, but I always made sure my brothers got home safely and without a spectacle. I hope I never run into some of you that comment here.
Somebody should tell Special Ed the passing out (syncope) is caused by a sudden drop in blood pressure, not elevated blood pressure.

Did the media ever ask where he was at before he pulled over to the side of the road to sleep off his intoxication? If he was at a public place then where was he, and with whom? That's a pretty late dinner he had. A little too late unless he was at a Steak and Egger. Okay, no reason to release the body cam footage while the investigation is underway but it wouldn't hurt to name the location he was at. Come on pussy media. You shouldn't have to be taken by the hand and told and helped along on how to do your jobs. If he was at a friend's house then everyone is shit out of luck with getting any evidence of him being over served. If he was out at Red Lobster or Outback then that could be a game changer and where ever he was at better hold on to any video evidence.
10/19/2019 12:46:00 AM
If only there were some legitimate investigative reporters amongst our lapdog media.
Too funny. All these comments. This is a horribly played out ruse to build up to his "choosing to retire for health and family reasons." This is all staged. Lori just doesn't have the courage to fire him and he doesn't have the sense to just leave.
Officer pulling someone over: Have you been drinking?
Person being pulled over: I had two drinks.
Every single time, in 28 years, whenever I asked that question, that was the answer. Not 'one', not 'a couple', not 'a few', not 'some', without fail, it was always two.
Weird.
I am sure the camera footage will shed some light on this. But, I am sad that this day has come to the department.
He wanted an investigation because he knew, from experience, that nothing would ever be found, no matter how guilty.
So to that unpublished buttwipe complaining that he worked in 009 and why didn't we publish his comment claiming there was no supervision on scene, Special Ed was having a "medical incident" and we were just stirring the pot, you want to apologize now or later?
No merit bump for you Butt-wipe!
After being stopped by a police officer, how many shit faced stew bums have never said, " but officer, I only had a couple"
Just a little tomfoolery with his homeboys doncha know.
The CR will be cleared and then he will announce his retirement to take place in January.
I wonder if IAD will go and interview the wait and bar staff where he was eating. Will they get the video from the place. They have done that for people of lesser rank then him
Snitches get stiches cough lightfoot cough
He was drunk as a pig's a** but that's OK? That doesn't matter, because hes the superintendent. And now hes talking about firing Pat Kelly give me a break and calling him a liar who's the liar?
I'm not a huge fan, Eddie has changed over the years. He was a good guy, and a decent boss who took care of his people. Unfortunately, the throws of politics has poisoned him. BUT, look here, yes, lead by example, do the right thing etc, you're in the public eye so the expectations are far above that of the normal citizen. We are continuously told we are held to a higher standard, and in many cases we are, and should be, so that covers ALL in every situation. While Ed has messed up, and while he has, for the past several years sought punishment for others who have messed uo, some horribly and some through a simple error in judgement or deed, so should he be punished appropriately. BUT, for anyone who like him or not, demand his head on a poke is just wrong. Each of us have errored, some worse than others, and we all hate the grandstanding and witch hunt that followes. The bottom line is that Ed hasnt been a very good leader of men recently, he left us and has favored those who hate, criticize and besmirch us, amd for that I am sad. Many are calling for his beheading so thay can run in the street with glee, but remember this, someone among us is the one who for no reason other than personal satisfication made this a oublic event. Shameful, and worrisome. Has anyone ever given a break on a traffic stop? You ever gotten one? Anyone from the media ever used theor spot to ask for one? Any politician caught in a moment of error ever asked, or just olain received a break? Call for his head? Sure, when its appropriate, but to jump on a simple discretion error, or minor laps in judgememt is shameful. And the bosses on the scene messed up, because they let their troops swing. Not everyone who has had a couple drinks is impaired, come on, you had two beers with a steak at dinner, amd a cognac to follow before desert. Every one has, but you weren't hanging off the barstool and deciding to slosh your way home bouncing off things. Neither did he. And he had enough sense to pull over when it hit him. Health wise, no he should not be consuming alcohol at all, as a human being acting normally in society, maybe a few would be ok. But it wasn't and he should have reached out, but he didnt and that will be adjudicated. The cops should have told him he seems exhausted and taken him home like they have done for many. They were fearful of his position and they let him decide his actions. Their immediate supervisors failed them. The whole mess is shameful. He may have realized a problem when he felt the effect of the mixture with his medication. Error in judgement, but thankfully he pulled over. He wasn't stopped for negligence or impared driving while moving. Also an error in judgement by the officers of every rank on the scene. There was no need for any speculation of a cover up, there should have just been the simple service we provided to so many people so many times. And a hearty finger wave to the vengful urchen who decided this needed to be strung up for all to see. Whistleblower my ass, you should be ashammed. Anyone who felt strong enough you should have handled it differently yourself on the scene then. Coward.
No lieutenant collected cameras on scene?
BULLSHIT!
There is no video evidence on AXON Evidence.com
oops!
Remember Special Ed is special!
Who is running 16. The place is going to sh%^.
Ed go to EAP and tell them you want help. Lead by example. They have 90 day programs out of state. Warrior Alabama is one of them. Do it for yourself first but it sure would be a step in the right direction for officers who are on the fence contemplating rehab. Asleep behind the wheel is intoxication and a cry for help. Help is there. Use it. You always preach that!
Why ? This guy has a DRIVER at his disposal 24/7, unless his driver had booze on board, too. Who knows, story changing daily. Stupidity. Needs to go now.
Driving intoxicated in a city vehicle, there’s a couple of instant rule violations. So what’s going to happen next ? Who’s going to be the spin doctor on this one ? Get the popcorn ready.

Since Special Ed was technically DUI, shouldn’t he be stripped, sent to Call Back, and prohibited from carrying a firearm pending the outcome of the investigation.
Oh that’s right the Rules are different for Exempts.
10/19/2019 03:08:00 AM
Spot on!!!
The Medical section should look into his medical history, now that this is public news. They should find out if he is allowed to be drinking, or not. No body else would have gotten a pass most likely. He got lucky because no one can order him to blow.
I should say that I believe the superintendent was a little more plastered than he lets on. We have all pulled over drunk drivers and they first response is And I quote "I had a couple drinks with dinner"
You shouldn't even try to sell that to any working police officer...How embarrassing it must be to be him. He should resign immediately and save the department the further disgrace. I see a rule 14 violation here. Anybody else?
When EJ goes they can get rid of Indiana speedster (“thanks for the escort trooper”) Eddie Wod, too. Another lying tool who shouldn’t be driving, let alone a city vehicle.
All I want to know if his keys were in the ignition while he was sitting there drunk.
Didnt a PPO who fell asleep, behind the wheel of his vehicle, possibly dui get fired?
Martell(s) and Coke, kinda like a Coupe DeVille with 22 inch spinners, if ya gotta ask why then you'll never understand.
Very lucky that he wasn’t disarmed or car jacked. Time to ride off into the sunset. Wish that I could say, it was nice knowing you.

Technically DUI? No DUI. Can’t be DUI without breathalyzer, field test or other info. Also officers can’t say they witnessed any impairment or they are in trouble for letting him drive home.

Did the body cam thing actually happen some officers claimed they were on scene and it dii in don’t happen. That would be the biggest violation

Supt. Eddie Johnson & Son, CPD Officer Daniel Johnson to Receive “Gift of Life Award.”
He fell out !!!
You never ask a navy man if he'll have another drink because it's nobody's goddam business how many he's had already
With bwc I’m sure there’s plenty of officers out there that’s had the call, a man slumped over the wheel and because we didn’t want to do the dui for any reason! We just parked the car and drove them home. I know because I’ve done it before. Now I won’t do it because I want to get better at processing dui and the only way to get better is practice. I still believe we have discretion and I can’t find anything that states we don’t!! For dui the only time we don’t have it, is if a traffic crash was involved or zero tolerance ( under 21 yoa). The officers should of at least drove him home and not let him drive home! Stay safe everyone. Answer you calls and back each other up that’s it.
Can I still bet the Under?
Please retire Eddie, do it for your health and your love ones!
Bring in Leo!
Can the special invesigator Dan Webb investigate this debacle too. Is this another systematic coverup like the McDonald case ?
Perhaps Webb can water his findings down like Daley' nephew.
I see nuffin.
The Code will protect him and there will be a big promotion party for all those on the scene. That is exactly how this will play out.
But he fires Sgt Franco for approving a TRR. Accountability my ass, Lori.

WHICH IS WHY alcohol use is contraindicated with anti-hypertensives. They can cause a “dangerous drop in blood pressure.” Not good if you’re driving AND impaired.

We are all in a pressure cooker on this job. That can make you want to let loose. Turn to booze. But that's no excuse to DUI, even 21 year-olds know that. Call a cab or uber, or where was his detail? People are fallible, but when you are, you have to face the consequences. Not being sympathetic to him, but we're all human. The different rules for different people sucks, but hopefully that'll change with new technology that can't be disputed.

I used to like Riccio when I worked with him in 020 way way back. Had no idea he was so connected. But it makes me sick to see him over the past few years. I bet he's salivating right now, thinking he'll get the top spot. Hmmmm, IAD will submit their findings to him....what a conundrum. This should be a movie.

My partner and I responded to a minor accident (this was the 80's) and my partner decided that both parties should just drive to the station for a report. I kept saying, 'this is a baaaaaaad idea' and of course, the dui, who we were following, gets in another wreck. It was so much fun telling my partner 'I told you so' for the next 5 years.

one thing everyone here is forgetting. we are coppers first, I personally don't like the superintendent and that goes back to his recruit days.. the superintendent and his car would have been delivered to his home end of story. 19-p end of story, no supervisors just 19-p. maybe the fat head would have learned something about real police, not black not white just blue.
Not to worry the professionals at the IAD and their internal investigators will handle the cover up. They'll make us Chicago Proud.

Learn your job clown...two additional forms added to an arrest report. If that is too complicated or you are above arresting a drunk driver that caused a crash you should go back to retail.
Bring back the O/T king of IA Matt Brown to conduct the investigation. Released the hounds!

Yeah, that's how it would used to have been handled.
But that was a long time ago and the world has turned many times and changed in many ways.
There was a time when there was respect and courtesy that went up AND down the ranks. If you stepped in it, as long as it wasn't blatantly criminal, you got a fair shake. Even the benefit of the doubt.
Now with accountability and transparency you are thrown to the curb.
Some of the bosses actually did some police work in their careers. Actually did well enough on promotional exams to earn rank. Now every boss is perceived as a clueless political hack. In most cases true.
Sad what has been lost.
Many times, I get a call of a person passed out in a car, I call EMS and they assess that person and they are a diabetic,If I assume they are drunk and I take them to the Station and they Die you are fucked, always call Ems don't assume Its's a drunk.
To all those saying cut him some slack I say FUCK YOU this POS has singlehandedly ruined this department. Well maybe not singlehandedly since he had a whole of help from all the Merit Hacks he allowed to be promoted. ED just go away.

Glad someone else sees it my way. Don’t know if any sworn boss that didn’t start out as a patrolman. They might have changed because of the power or the exempt job, but they were all patrolman. The only problem is that sometimes they forget what they did as a patrolman and suddenly become righteous and a by the book boss
Do as I say but don’t do what I do.He was just following the democratic politician hypocrisy script.
