Ignoramus
Does anyone at Media Affairs own a dictionary? Because this is about the stupidest statement we've ever read:
- An electronic message board along Lake Shore Drive near Soldier Field was changed overnight to read, "Kill cops," according to Chicago police.
The vandalism was reported about 6:20 a.m. Friday, but police spokeswoman Karie James said it was not known how long it had been up. The sign had been altered manually by a keyboard, not hacked electronically, she said.
“Several inappropriate messages” may have been displayed, but the police were called after the “Kill cops” message appeared, according to police spokeswoman Sally Bown.
“It’s just awful,” Bown said. “It’s extremely harmful to our officers and it’s not funny."
[...]
“It could just be really serendipitous,” she said. “Until they find somebody, it’s pure speculation.”
Um, what? Seriously, what the actual fuck?
- ser·en·dip·i·tous
adjective: serendipitous
occurring or discovered by chance in a happy or beneficial way.
So are you saying that it was beneficial that some asshole changed the sign to say "Kill cops"? Or it was a happy expression?
It is said that most newspapers in the world are written at a fifth-grade level. It would seem our spokespeople are hired at a second or third grade level.

Ah! SERENDIPITY? Sally Bown is delusional.
Listen sweetie,try and stick to small words where you are sure of their meaning.Where do these people come from????
Who cares, the civil war is almost here anyways. In many places it already is.
I wonder if this will happen to diamond Dave https://patch.com/illinois/libertyville/corrections-officer-arrested-falsifying-ot-hours-officials?utm_content=illinois&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=blasts
Keep voting democrazy
Gads...
"Ignoramus" is being kind, SCC...
Remember the recurring skit on "In Living Color" about
the two dudes having malaprop laden conversation in the
prison yard misusing descriptors of body parts/body functions
under the guise of "intellectual" discourse?
"We conflate our colonic threshold to impregnate the
mental flatulence of pseudo intellectualism..."
Yeah... Kind of like that.
Sometimes... Ya just gotta pause, stand back
and be AMAZED at some of these terrible m/fers...
THEN you laugh.
If I use a fancy word people will think I be smart. Yeah, right.
This is not unusual. If you pay attention to the news, it happens all the time. No command of the English language. And no knowledge of directions or familiarity with the City streets and where they actually are. They are the new desk jockeys who live their entire career behind a computer screen, never having been out on an actual street getting their stories. And the “journalists” who have risen to the top, did so because of clout, not intelligence or effort.
So the Next time a racial slur is written on a wall, we'll call it serendipitous and make it known we don't know for sure it was done in anything but jest.
Lightfoot, even with a law degree, has a poor command
of the English language. Disheartening, really.
It's the Peter Principle. You can only rise to your own
level of incompetence.
Okay but what was she even TRYING to say? I don't know any word to put into that sentence that actually fits reality.
Yes, there you have it. Now go write those ISRs and parkers and Blue Cards for the department and community.
Must have seen it in her word of the day calendar.
Words matter. This person should never be in front of a mic or write a release again.
Fat, bearded guy from suburbs who was so maligned by his minority status that he got to go to both U of C and NU, now wants to be a celebrity amongst his bargaining unit for CTU blames half billion dollars of settlements on “pigs.”
F-ck you fat man!

“You pigs are expensive.”
https://twitter.com/kenzoshibata/status/1185399252933062657?s=12
Probably the CTU put that message there
What of it said something different like say, I don't know. Maybe alderman or something like that. Would it be treated differently?
Sounds like Harold Washington and his weird dictionary terms.
There isn't one person in media affairs who could hold a job in private journalism for one day. Including the supervisors. Play time assignment.
I'm just a citizen and I don't comment here much HOWEVER, I am disgusted, appalled and sickened at the way LE is treated around here. What the eff happened to this world? An electronic sign saying that? And the papers making light of it? First of all, NONE of you get paid enough. Period. Second, I am sick and tired of the general public complaining about your pension. WTF? You deserve every single cent of it and then more. LE has the most dangerous job in the world. Not only is it the most dangerous, but it has a very high suicide rate. You are ridiculed daily by those that should be praising you. You have your hands tied when they should be free to do whatever necessary to get these scumbags off the street FOREVER, not just for a spell. The mere fact that you manage to go into work every day is a blessing to each and every one of us citizens and all of us should thank you, pray for you and it's just a shame we can't help you out vigilante style. Who is working in these news stations anyway? Pre-school kids or what? It's an insult to all of us. God Bless all of you, your families and your loved ones. Something has to change around here.
Morons love using big words, it’s almost like drama: look at me, I’m a smart women!
That's why I read SCC......it edumacates me wif all dem fancy words.....
Maybe Ofc Bown needs a dick-shun-airy sent to her.....
It was me, i misspelled “Kill CAPS”
don't ever say what the actual fuck - please SCC, I'll stop reading your blog
Sally Bown sounds like an entitlement hire whose "education" - some sort of token degree - consisted of learning a few big words and phrases very poorly. Reminds me of when the newly-hired Indianapolis school superintendent announced her first priority would be improving inner city children's "pronounciation" skills.
Next merit Sgt, guaranteed. That office produced some quality individuals
I was seeing a psychologist because my wife thought I was nuts. He told me I was actually pretty normal and exhibited no signs of mental ill health. He added that I was a “raconteur.” I didn’t know what the word meant so I figured he was insulting me. I felt I had no recourse but to punch him. I felt better.
put that idiot in a district
Could you imagine the outrage if some a-hole put the n-bomb on the board. It would be national news.

Hey you’d be getting creative on making mo money if you had a new 5000 + sf house on 4 city lots being built on the far west end of 008. The base 9171 salary won’t allow such extravagances. Time to drop them OT slips, right Diamond Dave? Your federal forensic audit is forthcoming big guy.
I'm sorry- but that person should be sent back to a beat car. Full duty folks should be in patrol. Full duty nonsense speaking people should be out among the citizens providing service with a smile. There is no reason for any sworn to be in News Affairs - even if Googleme is a horrible spokesperson at least he is a civilian and could serve no other purpose. (and I am not really sorry- wtf do i have to apologize for?)
Along the same stupidity circle: https://dmlnewsapp.com/report-justice-democrats-endorsed-candidate-calls-police-disarmed/
If these idiots succeed, change the uniform to a target. It’s the same thing nowadays anyway.
Stay safe boys and girls in blue.
Users of big words, https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/sesquipedalian
They don’t get into that unit by being qualified.
stupidipindous. duh.
Do we need a News Affairs Unit?
How many are stuffed up in there...part of the bloated command under the Office of StupidIntended?
Took two spokes-folks to enter the conversation too.
Love to see some of their street generated case reports (writing samples) they submitted for their No-Bid Unit interviews.
Doesn’t NewsAffairs have an editor-in-chief or was one of the many 5 yr wonder HouseMouse Merit Sgts unavailable?
Says a lot for the management.
Hey GROOT !
City high schools and community colleges expect better from their students, who I believe should be hired and tasked with providing media statements and it would be a very affordable management option too that puts police back on the community streets where they’re direly needed. Think of The Kids.
Nobody in custody - Detectives are investigating.
“...not hacked electronically”. Now that’s a relief, CMO assigning just got easier.
The suspense of waiting for determining speculative serendipity has me on edge as much as the search for a nasty, unwashed, unhinged keyboard manipulating sniveling slob feeling the fullest extent of the law being swiftly applied by the Courts of Cook County.
Kinda like finding a $5 bill in your coat pocket when you pull it out from the back of the closet. Serendipitous.
Well at least she didn’t start off with “well what had happened was....”
Reckoning: Big scary words used by small people/mayor.
Altered by a manual keyboard.
So we have a malcontent in the outdoor advertising business.
BTW, whatever happened to that guy from the armored car
company, the coin thief?

Lol...
The man-hating little "Homunculus"
is very insistent that no one can
tell it what to do...
Prove it wrong, then see if it continues
to shit-talk about how all of everybody's ass
except his/her's/it's is subject to a "Reckoning."
Then he/she/it will loudly complain that it/she/he is being "picked on"
because, (whatever eye roll inducing personal pronoun of choice) as a
man-hating little "Homunuculus," is a quadruple favored/flavored
demographic solely as the result of these tragically comedic,
politically correct times and you irate blue-collar churls
are wrong and "RACIST" for poking fun at it.
English is a very entertaining language.
No?
Just havin' a laugh.

Nice to know some people still have our backs. Thank you for the kind message.
I'm so disenchanted...wait no...
I say you drop off Brown and 'keyboarder' in 7 or 11 at 3:00am and they can tell us how serendipitous their experience was....lmao...#@%& clueless!
