No Confidence in Special Ed
We pointed this out years ago and the aldercreatures are just catching up now?
- Chicago’s African American community will have trouble trusting CPD Supt. Eddie Johnson now that it’s known Johnson saw the Laquan McDonald shooting video before it was publicly released and was among the police brass who believed the shooting was justified.
That’s the bottom line from influential black aldermen, who urged Mayor Lori Lightfoot on Thursday to take Inspector General Joe Ferguson’s investigative report into consideration when she decides whether to permanently retain the superintendent she inherited.
Ferguson’s long-awaited report, released this week, placed Johnson, then a deputy chief, at a meeting of police brass held “on or around” Nov. 1, 2015.
Here's some more "bombshells:"
- the command staff on scene saw it;
- McCarthy saw it ;
- Rahm saw it;
You think Rahm signed off on $5 million before seeing exactly what he was suppressing before the election?

As I have said before the ballerina should be in jail if JVD is. He sat on this so he could bring in Uber, garner votes from the back community and continue to shit on all that abide by and enforce the law. Oh, and make money too. Fucking spineless midget.
They studied that tape like football players...
money (er, the game) was on the line
In the US vs. THEM paradigm, they ALL saw it.
I understand that the command staff on sscene did not see it that night. The video wasn’t available until the next day. This is from a street deputy but not the one on scene of this one.
How does it feel to be King of Shit Mountain Ed?! Seriously, how far has this Department fallen under your leadership?!
Only an idiot would believe rahm didn't see the video asap.
I'm so sick and tired of being lied to by elected officials.
Unfortunately, I know what it's going to take to fix it.
Now you see the timing and the reason for the Superintendent's exit. The reason she can now get rid of him and other of the old regime... You don't think this was planned? Conveniently after summer as cold weather hits?
House Mice beware, start making those phone calls. Might need to dust off that paperweight (duty weapon).
"Lightfoot said the department has “too many people at headquarters doing jobs that could be done by civilians.”
“We’ve got a plethora of specialized units. … Some of those people need to be back in the districts.”
FOP and the police should of a movement of No-confidence toward supt imbecile 6 months after he took over. He has fucked more hard-working white and Latin copper' for doing their job and serving the hood people. The numbers he striped are enormous.
Toni/Tony Peckerwinkle, if elected would have dumped his silly ass on day one. Longfoot lets this beast still stick around as the dogs steal from and rape the good good people that live here. This city has the most sociopaths compared to large countries. No souls!
The poor woman in Lincoln Park that was home invaded will have the tall money people thinking to hit the bricks and leave this fucked up city. In ten years, Lincoln park will be section 8 as the white flight starts soon very soon now.
Spek. Ed, touch base with Master Weasel (SS code name for
Biden). Deceptive spin doctor; paragon of lies. Same party.
Who cares. If the black citizens don't care that they are being slaughtered by psychopathic gang members why would they care about this.
America
Lightfoot can replace him now. These people are treacherous. Ed does their bidding for them like a good shill and they oust him like a punk, embarrassing him. They don't even protect their own shills.
It was justified. Mad man with a knife in a different era....
Blah
Blah
Blah
It doesn’t matter. This department is absolutely horrible.
What they need to look at is
#1 suicides
#1 in divorce
Once again the Media and I.G. Ferguson, show that they are Phony shills for the Democrat Party. For those of you who are not the police, consider this Simple Reality: Any and All Police Involved Shootings, are reviewed within 24 hrs. by the Exempt Rank members of the Chicago Police Department, the State's Attorney, and the Mayor,especially with Rahm who was a micro-manager. THE CPD ADMINISTRATION SAW THE VIDEO WITHIN 24 HRS, AND THEY ALL SIGNED OFF SAYING IT WAS A GOOD SHOOT. BECAUSE THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERED WAS PROTECTING RAHM'S RUN FOR A SECOND TERM! In addition, there was an attorney named Roundtree, who was the conduit from Rahm to Superintendent McCarty. Let's be clear on this; Roundtree did everything including writing talking points for McCarthy and later Fathead Ed. Neither of these Superintendents was allowed to have an original idea. Roundtree specifically stalled Any and All Freedom of Information Act efforts to release the video, which ultimately necessitated a court order to finally be released. Roundtree had minions in the Office responsible for responding to Freedom of Information requests, and they were told: STALL. WHEN THE VIDEO WAS FINALLY RELEASED, THE REAL CHARADE BEGAN, WITH VAN DYKE BEING PUT IN SHACKLES AND PERP WALKED FOR THE MEDIA. I WILL NEVER FORGET THE NAIVE AND INCOMPETENT REPORTER WHO ASKED RAHM IF HE HAD SEEN THE VIDEO, AND RAHM IN HIS SLY AND DECEITFUL MANNER RESPONDED: "I'LL SEE IT WHEN YOU SEE IT.", WHICH AVOIDED ANSWERING THE QUESTION. SUDDENLY STATE'S ATTORNEY ALVAREZ WAS "OUTRAGED", AND DEMANDED THE IMMEDIATE ARREST OF VAN DYKE; AS IF SHE HAD NOT SEEN THE VIDEO OVER A YEAR BEFORE. Low level patrol officer and detectives were actually tried for a "Conspiracy", while all the Exempt who did in fact Conspire to conceal the video retired or were promoted. YES, THERE REALLY WAS A CONSPIRACY TO CONCEAL WHAT HAPPENED THAT NIGHT, AND THE OFFENDERS WERE RAHM, MCCARTHY, ROUNDTREE AND ALVAREZ! And those retired Exempts will receive over $120,000 dollars a year for the rest of their lives; while the low level coppers are fighting for their jobs, and Van Dyke rots in prison. Oh yeah, let's not forget the Great White Hope McCarty, who so many of you voted for Mayor. A Police Officer"s, Police Officer! He was the highest ranking Exempt to see the video within 24 hrs. of the incident, and the highest ranking Police Conspirator. Then, he had the Balls to run for Mayor, acting as if he was our buddy! Yet as Tragic as this has been; their were Winners. The Winners were Rahm, who got his second term, and is now a successful millionaire, with a job in New York. All of the Exempt, who got away with Gold Braid Pensions. Roundtree, left and is practicing law somewhere, as is Alvarez. McCarthy is also doing well. THEY ALL GOT AWAY WITH "CHUMPING" THE CITIZENS OF CHICAGO AND WORKING CHICAGO COPS. The losers, were the cops who worked the case, from the Beat cops on the scene to the detectives, WRONGFULLY ACCUSED OF A CONSPIRACY THAT WAS CONCEIVED AND CARRIED OUT BY THE HIGHEST RANKING CHICAGO POLICE OFFICIALS, THE STATE'S ATTORNEY, AND THE MAYOR. Van Dyke was also a loser, because the concealment of the Video, denied him any chance of an objective jury. As always, shit rolls downhill. AND ONE MORE THING FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE NOT POLICE: THIS CASE WAS BASED AT THE COURT TRIAL AND THE TRIAL IN PUBLIC OPINION, ON THE VIDEO. NO OFFICER INVOLVED COULD HAVE CHANGED THAT VIDEO; BUT THE LEADERSHIP CONCEALED IT, AND IN SO DOING DECEIVED THE PUBLIC. And Ferguson knew this all along, but because he is a Phony and Boot Lick for the Mayor he kept his mouth shut. Any cop below the rank of Lieutenant take note: The Police Exempt will throw you under the bus to save their asses. Consider that, when you are told to bring in "activity". The enemies are within. Baby "G"
McNaughton saw it, and was allowed to resign with his full pension......
I’m tired of hearing the name “Rahm” we should
remove his name from all city documents ! So let
it be said, so let it be done.
What about the EIGHT African-American aldermen who took serious campaign MONEY from Rahm for their silence?
Rham saw the video, Eddie saw it, hell even Steve wonder saw that video!
McCarthy still has not admitted that him and Rham watch the video, what a phony tool!
OT...
Did they fire Sgt Garza?
Did they fire Sgt Muhammad?
Those goofs have Been mighty quiet.
The porn industry has more credibility than Kidney Bean
Ferguson reminds we of the little boy who always cries wolf. Groot has bigger problems than big head ed. Perrywinkles has conveniently just announced a balanced county budget with no increase in taxes right before her buddies the teachers walk out. Groot will soon be giving her epic state of the city address complete with crocodile tears and a pants suit from the tj maxx oversized rack. Groot, a tank full of hungry piranhas awaits you.
This is a serious question.
If the killing of McDonald was ruled criminal and a officer was convicted and jailed......
Then is it not a FACT that command staff AND the mayor are guilty of conspiracy to conceal the evidence of the murder?
The mayor then dragged city lawyers in to craft and deliver $5 million dollars of hush money to McDonalds family.
The payoff itself a crime in an attempt to BURY the evidence.
My God, this is a SLAM DUNK for FEDERAL prosecutors.

Oh, I hope not!! My phone call is just about to come through for me!!!!!
This is not new news folks. Everyone new that Fat Head saw the tape and called it a good shoot long ago. The Aldermen just trying to cover their asses before it becomes public knowledge that theyou saw it 5oo before they would agree to the 5 million.
Always said if Rahm saw it then Obama knew what was in the video too
Chicago has a Corrupt, a Liar, a Merit Cheating Superintendent
Mayor Lightfoot can care less, so what’s new ? Nothing
Same old sh*T-cago !!
I rarely leave a comment but that long post by Baby G was so ridiculously accurate. I may read it again but the truthfulness makes my effing blood boil.
Babby "G" is right but why didnt Van Dyke's legale team make this clear at trial, if not in court the media could not help but listen to him
I.G. Ferguson couldn't figure out 20 + sergeants cheated on the last Lt test. Not much credibility in my book.
All by design. Special Ed is pulling the plug, convenient to be on the chopping block after a violent summer.
Lori: okay Ed, you ready to pull the plug and receive your ill gotten pension?
Ed: yeah, I’m done and I’m ready to get the fuck out of here.
Lori: okay, here’s how it’s gonna go. We are gonna dredge up some old shit, and you’re gonna be the fall guy. This way, I can act angry and promise “accountability” at all levels and accomplish the charade of fooling the public into thinking I give a shit about the police department while simultaneously placing my own puppet in your position. In exchange, you’ll scoot off quietly into the sunset with a fat pension that you never earned and a nice cushy 6 figure job to pad your pension. Sound good?!
Ed: sounds perfect Lori. How upset should I act?
Lori: A couple of your “I am disgusted” lines should do just fine.
Ed: excellent. See you on the front page boss!
Alot of us will still consider this so called leader a fellow police officer.
He hire commanders that steal from their dead mommies
son cant pass a power test so a new mystery rule was placed to cancel powertest.
wife cheat on promotions test by having answer then decide to share test with a flock of asshats.
Yep great guy and he stand up for all his friend and coworkers by changing shifts and swiping in and is to dumb to even right a report to fight it.
and he could have just done the right thing and supported Van Dyke, saying it was per CPD use of force training as taught at that time. At that moment, Ed became a sickening political hack who turned his back on CPD. I hope they Fuck him hard
What kind of "deal" did Emmanuel make with Ferguson not to release this information right away?
Ferguson = SCUMBAG

The “community” bought it enough to re-elect the turd.
And EVERY alderman that signed that bribe needs to be out as well!
Go listen to WVON where they are twisting themselves into pretzels trying to justify Mr Fenner's silence after seeing the video!
Remember Rahm was Obama's Chief of Staff and this type of coverup happens at all levels of government. As long as this city/state/nation keeps voting Democrat nothing will change except for the names. Time to demand real term limits and voting out all incumbents, especially Madigan.
As a member of Chicago’s European American community I can say that my community certainly doesn’t trust Superintendent Johnson.
Why is only one person being held accountable for this mess? Many more should be criminally charged and fired without any benefits do to this incident. Only in Chicago.
First of all, it’s “Rountree”, not Roundtree. Second, it wasn’t her that advised Rahm to fight the release, it was Adam Collins, his press guy. And third, the McCarthy and other command staff were briefed at the next EMM, the purpose of which IS NOT to “approve” the shooting, but to be familiar with the circumstances. It was, and remains, only COPA’s (or IPRA, or OPS or whatever the next version will be) obligation to declare it a good shooting or not.
This is all old news everyone knew and the murder mayor and his command staff approved all of it. When shit hit the fan they got their sacrificial lamb and railroaded him. One other item that has always bothered me about this whole thing the reporter requested the video said boo about the command staff and murder mayor so maybe he’s not the hero they make him out to be. If he was that interested in the truth and justice he would have continued pressure on the mayor and command staff for covering this up.

I think you may need a hobby.
Amazing it took this long for publication .........Ferguson BOUGHT AND PAID FOR
The general public also has no confidence in the Chicago media. They Knew about the cover-up and refused to investigate or alert the public of this scheme.
All the brass, McCarthy, and Rahm should have been charged with accessory to commit after the fact.
Fuck Johnson he is a @$$-hole! He was never qualified for the job! He betrayed the black community, the city and the department! Don’t trust him. I can’t wait to see him gone. I hope there is a place in H311 for him!
When I came on the job in the early 90's, seasoned, jaded, gruff veterans had a saying for us then new guys, who thought we were about to make a difference & clean up the streets of Chicag0
"IT'S ALL BULLSHIT, KID".
That's exactly how I feel about the office of Superintendent, where reduction of crime goes.
It doesn't matter who holds the position, crime won't be affected in any meaningful way.
It's a largely figurehead position.
In my opinion, Johnson's no worse or better than anyone who sat in the seat prior to him.
I submit for your perusal, the Supes during my 26 yr career.
Leroy Martin, Matt Rodriquez, Terry Hillard, Phil Cline, Jody Weiss, Garry McCarthy and Eddie Johnson
I retired in 17.
For all but the very naive this is Capt. Obvious stuff.
Is it a coincidence that all this comes to light a week before the looming teachers strike. Not one but two IG reports bashing the police the JVD and parking reports. The JVD report could have been released the day after the verdict. Look at all the headlines and airtime these reports have taken up! And we all thought Rahm was the master spin doctor it appears Lori has some people too!
Do not remove the word "Rahm". I'm order to break my horrible habit of calling people "a--hole" or "m----- f-----", I simply refer to them as "Rahm".
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Okay, so everyone saw it. So now what. What are we doing? How about a new contract “bombshell”.
It’s a “long awaited” dud. I guess he couldn’t sit on it any longer. What a revelation, like people with half a brain didn’t now. Give me a break.
Absolutely Rahm saw it. If the city corp counsel viewed it you know that they had a conversation with Rahm as the very least. He knew exactly what was going on.
Don't be fooled by these comments about Johnson that are just being made. Everyone in the political food chain knew about the video and reports and what Johnson did just about from the beginning. But, Johnson was serving as a usefull idiot and tool of the establishment. Rahm needed a black face for the department and a black face that would do what he/she was told to do and he got it with Johnson. Rahm seems to have been afraid of the black candidate from Atlanta. Johnson will not be removed as he has served his purpose. What Chicago needs is to bring in a strong leader from the LAPD, a department that seems to be way ahead of Chicago and a department that already been under a consent decree and from a town with a much lower violent crime rate. And, there promotion system seems to be fairer. They don't do " merit promotions".
Nicely done, Baby G! Thank you.
Waiter! There's a roach in my soup!
That was the ploy during the Depression when folks were
so hungry they ate in a restaurant then dropped a dead
roach in the soup so they didn't have to pay. The lottery
crowd have become roach experts.
Ya hear that, Kidney Bean?
That’s the sound of your termination in progress.
Ferguson only does lori and the dummycrats bidding . The video was covered up by Rahm to get re-elected and bring in uber, more bullshit buildings, money for sterling bay and continued money for ahole Ari and c3 at lollapooloza. And Ferguson helped Rahm achieve that goal.
Ed can simply step down and ride off into the sunset with his bloated pension.
Then Wheezie can start her rise through the ranks.
Nauseating.

I commend her for noticing, and actually talking about how many “special” people are tucked away and hidden to avoid working the street.
Don’t stop there Groot, every district has a dozen or more such “special” people.
Civilian oversight simply means watch who you vote for. Rudy took the gloves off the police to a welcoming public, Chicago could, but they allow a small minority and the press to decide. Leadership is needed, Ed ain't it...
Larri LightLoafer’s already crowded shit plate just got a bit more more piled on.
The Right Man for the Right Time™️.
Boxed like a clown by RottenRahm and sooooo close to picking up that pension bump.
Though we knew this just from reading the Insignificant Blog long ago, the FakeNews only confirms this story, Jugghaid SpecialEd was given the gift of big city StupidIntended (with plenty of benefits for friends and family) for keeping his trap shut.
Takes a gaggle of posturing AlderThieves to bring bring it up.
I didn’t do a roll call, but how many of these disgruntled voted 100% with Rahm and approved his appointed StupidIntended?
Mmmm-hmmmmm.
Reckoning forthcoming?
Don’t forget, nobody (and I mean nobody) tells Grootie MacLightLoafer what to do.
Angry, frustrated and in so deep.
Seems a sour pickle summit with PrickWrinkle will be coming sooner than planned.
Some people get a “ soft landing” in life... some “land” in prison or unemployed. It’s easy to figure out.
You think Rahm signed off on $5 million before seeing exactly what he was suppressing before the election?
You think those alderman signed off on a 5 million dollar payment without seeing the video, the alderman have to approve payments over a 100 K. so whose ass are they blowing smoke up.
As bad as Ed is, I promise his replacement will be far worse. Won't be hired from within as LL has already proclaimed Dept. dysfunctional to press, she will be an outsider, Fed trained.
"Lightfoot said the department has “too many people at headquarters doing jobs that could be done by civilians.”
More code for bringing in some outside talent loyal to her, just like her private security. This is not the usual Chicago Machine political favors situation. Schools are already socialist indoctrination, churches are run by Satanists, Federal Agencies are blatently corrupted, our Military perpetually fighting Wars for another Country's expansion.
Police 'reform' into Stasi/NKVD is the final piece of the puzzle. Happening nationwide.
Nice press release but...we havent seen the tax bill multiplier yet. Even when your home value goes down your taxes go up.
As long as we have a morons for mayors we will never have confidence in our police superintendent. Just one incompetent hack after another, it won't change.
clear out all sworn at police headquarters , city hall , homan square, tactical secretaries and district caps office . Boots on the ground .
Next put firefighters on 8 hour shifts , ever watch CFD , way to much hanky panky going on in bunk room .
What a disgrace outside of Trump rally in Minneapolis and what those police officers have to put up with. Bring back the days of the 1968 democratic convention in Chicago, those punks would think twice about spitting on police officers and throwing shit at them. This world is truly upside down.
I remember when they asked Rahm at a press conference "When did you see the video?"
He hesitated, looked at the reporter, and said "When you saw it".
He's a liar of the highest order. Just another politician who can't be trusted to tell the truth.
Fuck him.

He/She is lying right to your face. Read the released reports.
The in-car camera video was downloaded while still ON-Scene. Command staff admitted to the OIG that they to viewed it from a laptop Immediately after arriving to the scene of the shooting. Don’t let the powers that be shift the blame to the POs / Detectives and Sgts.

Another way the city could save big $$$ and increase manpower is close all the district stations during the midnight shift. Most police stations in America aren’t open to the public during the night hours. All business is conducted during the day hours. Anything urgent the public obviously calls 911. Total waste to staff the desks during the midnight shift.
Rahm called and said "keep my name out of your mouth"
Baby G is spot on. ♠️
So every one agrees on no confidence in Supt. Johnson. Great!

*****Kudos Baby G...well said!!!
This asshole has been the worst sup we have ever had and that says a lot!
There are some moral and ethical issues the higher ups need to answer for but there does not appear to be any potential crime involved as it was for those directly involved like JVD and those officers who might have slanted their official reports to try to protect JVD.
"Lightfoot said the department has “too many people at headquarters doing jobs that could be done by civilians.”
“We’ve got a plethora of specialized units. … Some of those people need to be back in the districts.”
Sad thing is....Lightfoot is correct on BOTH POINTS.
The crime problem is solved hallelujah;
Mayor Lori Lightfoot to reopen detective bureaus, put 151 cops back on street under new plan

Won’t affect the districts “special people”. They are already in the district and I’m sure are considered street police. She’s just going after consolidating special and duplicate units
And yet every time this fathead gives out an award or goes to some sort of bullshit "community" event, you see brainless, suckhole coppers clambering right up to him and wanting to take pictures and shake hands. Fuck him. It's time to turn our backs. How about nobody shows up at the next DC ceremony, or the next "we support the community" event? How about nobody applies for any of the units with the NOJOs?
who cares im sure fat phil n eddie burke have their people already taken care of.

OK, things got a little unbalanced on the see saw and the
heavy end just can't go down anymore without causing an
earthquake. So were're going to try to balance things out
because the streets look like ghost towns. What is going
to be the cost of rousting these chickens? And once a house
cat, always a house cat. Like water they will seek a comfort
level in the new surroundings. Those coddled habits are hard
to break. City car for a desk job? Yeah, you know a guy. And
you know worse than that. Tax guy told me one employee
takes a 2-HR gym break every day (M-F), coming in 1 HR early
and adding the lunch hour. Trouble is that first hour he just
reads the newspaper. And he's the one who complains there's
no upward mobility at work.
While this massive mentality shift makes for good headlines,
what transpires might be entirely different.
Time for the superintendent to go. This release of “new” information is just going by the city hall play book
32 years here. He is by far the worst and dumbest leader we’ve had.
I’m talking about Eddie Johnson not the mayor
Protecting Ed Wod will be the downfall to both Riccio and Johnson
The command staff in this place is so repugnant, and those they have promoted are so inept, they make a good case for not taking promotional exams.
Who would want to be associated with these people?
Yep and the gold star club quietly retired 6 figure pensions,and another 6 figure job yes blue shirts its all legit!
The districts better be building new office space for all the house mice that will be coming. Since there are no cars for them they will need desk space.
Now she has done it. Flunking with the merit house mice will be her undoing. These people have never been or wanted to be the police. All they wanted was a nice check and a safe work environment. Now the fun begins.

It may very well effect the district special people. Not the number of them, but who they are. You see the special people displaced from downtown are more special than the special people in the districts. So when the more special people need a spot, the district regular special people will have to hit the street.
Another way the city could save big $$$ and increase manpower is close all the district stations during the midnight shift. Most police stations in America aren’t open to the public during the night hours. All business is conducted during the day hours. Anything urgent the public obviously calls 911. Total waste to staff the desks during the midnight shift.

Who is going to do the 1st watch administrative stuff then? Court transmittals? Bond the prisoners out?
I know this blog is trolled by a lot of civilians, so I'm hoping that's what you are. The alternative that you're actually the police is scary.
Good shooting what is the big deal Laquan should have dropped the knife and been taken into custody?
Exactly. I don't know how/why the upper brass who signed off on the shooting as justified ever escaped justice. Every time I hear some asshole crow about JVD "rotting away in prison", I ask them how hard they lobbied their fellow SJW buddies to hold the upper ranks accountable too.
Silence. Deafening silence.
I’m sure y’all will agree in a NO CONFIDENCE
with the following clowns
1. Superintendent Johnson
2. 1st Deputy Riccio
3. Chief of Patrol Waller
4. Chief Staples
5. Chief West
6. Deputy Chief Bradley
7. Deputy Chief Cato
8. Deputy Chief Tirado
9.
10.
add your favorite clown to this list !!
Chi-rats
Riccio made Wodnicki a Merit Lieutenant
He’s all yours Boss!! Unbelievable !!
I can’t believe Lightfoot isn’t outraged by the Sgt Muhammad shooting video and cover up????

She said she'll see it when you see it.
Just watched Ed Johnson on Saturday morning news brief.
Saying he had no connection to VanDyke shooting. Never saw video for two weeks and never made any decisions as to shooting being justified?
Begging for his job to continue!
Lori Lightfoot better cut him loose before the conflict shows his BS.......
Got to love this job, never saw a superintendent beg for his job?
He is such a liar. I just watched Fat Lying Eddie's Press Conference trying to keep his job. So are you saying he didn't do his job? Look at our orders. He was the Area Deputy Chief during this incident. You really want us to believe that a citizen was killed by a police officer in his Area and the Area Deputy Chief did not view any video for two weeks? If he is saying that he did not do his job for CPD or the citizens of Chicago. He was required to be in the review meeting and in all meetings relative to the shooting right after the incident. And as the boss, he should and would have wanted to get on something of this magnitude. He is just trying to get to that pension and keep his power to continue crippling CPD. You big fat dummy.
Since he is out here doing press conferences ask him who was on the scene when Rakia Boyd was killed by an off duty police officer. He wasn't there either? Look up those reports Fat Eddie.
its NOT NEWS that Johnson- AN EXEMPT at the time saw the video ...how the fck are people outraged now...and his wife will be a captain soon

Doesn’t work like that. They just pull up a few extra chairs or add a few extra spots. Can always squeeze one or two more in. Add a few to front office, CAPS, etc

And they will continue to do the same. Nothing will change. Mayor will say it, bosses will ignore her and do as they please.

Oh please! The current regime is worse than those two added together.
U could bet if a white sgt shot a mentally challenged black kid, the blm and the black caucus would want him fried to hell!!! But, if Ur a black merit sgt with a Muslim name who hasn’t done a thing is his career, besides drive Farrakan around, U can just walk away like there’s nothing to see here. I hope the media checks the merit based promotions on the new sgts list and try to figure out what the merit was for each persons promotion. Business as usual Lightloafers and consent decree.... And I hope no one thought anyone was gonna berate aJohnson, black man for anything. Black caucus is a bunch of thieving uneducated gangsters. PLEASE if superintendent was white they would’ve called for his head. Make sure all U animals back Filthy Foxx and her re election campaign so she can release more violent criminals that continue to kill in the black communities.
