Special Ed Hems, Haws
Have we got a spy in the administration?
- “It’s a fact, Eddie Johnson was to be fired on Friday morning by the Mayor. He convinced LL/Claussen to give him till Tuesday to rally the Black Caucus in order to keep his job. He meets with them individually and promises various promotions on top of the disastrous promotions already made. His argument to the Black Caucus is “I’ve promoted more blacks than any other Superintendent in the history of CPD...you wanna reverse that...?”. Hence this mornings impromptu press conference with the BC (and Irving as their mouthpiece).”
It certainly is suspicious how quickly the Caucus reversed it's calls from "Special Ed betrayed the community" to "Well, you know, maybe we ought to rethink this thing."
- Flanked by several African American Chicago aldermen supporting him, Supt. Eddie Johnson went on the defense Saturday morning at a news conference to respond to an inspector general’s report released this week noting he was among police brass who viewed video of the Laquan McDonald shooting and did not object to it.
Johnson said that he did not see the video until two weeks after the fatal incident and that as a deputy chief of patrol at the time, he was not involved in any decisions about disciplinary action following uses of force.

Well they need to rehire the Sgt that was fired for approving the TRR..
Chicago and its police department definitely have a race problem. But it's not the one the activists and liberal whiners think it is. It's not white cops shooting black people or harassing them or arresting them "for nothing." The race problem is the belief that a certain number of a certain race need to be in a certain position, regardless of any other qualifications, intelligence, ability, or experience. It's only about race. That's the problem. We shouldn't be trying to promote X number of this race and Y number of that race. We should be promoting the most-qualified and able person for the job, regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, or sexual orientation. Quotas are a bad idea, especially when you put someone in a leadership role solely based on the fact that they're a certain race. Until someone does something about that problem, the other problems in this city and department will only continue to get worse. The blind leading the blind. The clueless setting policy for the rest of us. It's ridiculous, but totally accepted and somehow not seen a racist, as long as it's not benefitting white people.
Irving should be in prison! Why would they let this corrupt fool be their spokes person?
We all know Eddie is a lying SOB! What will it take to get the truth out? Sometimes I have to agree with Trump. The reporters are full of shyt!!!
And they better not make his cheating wife a captain!
Once again the unknown news to many is that Eddie was supposed to be street deputy the night of the McDonald shooting but he was too drunk so he called McNaughton to fill in for him. He knows that he is going to be street deputy that night but goes out anyways and gets plastered tonwhere he can’t even work.
If this was the military and idiot Ed held a high ranking and lied as much as he had during his years as supt, a military court would have had him in their shit house for 30 yrs.
He learned the art of shaking down by his buddy Jesse Sr.
This administration is lost.
Where is the White Caucus? Surely if there is a Black Caucus, they must have other color caucuses. Caucasion Caucus? Complacency will be the end of us all.
It really doesnt matter if he seen the the video or not that day. At some point he did see it and said NOTHING! That fact should be point #1 for the 008th dist scapegoats at chancery court. How can they be covering up anything when the guy how says they were, made no objections to the shooting when it happened?
John Catanzara 008
Imagine if a Irish Alderman said that “I’ve promoted more Irish than any other Superintendent in the history of CPD...you wanna reverse that...?”.
Go ask that one guy, shit I dont remember his stupid name; he is not the Chief of Security at NorthEastern University. I guarantee the both saw that video the morning of. What else could Kidney Bean be doing the morning of LQMD met his demise? I dont know, watching the video
This is how it’s done. Write that you went to Duke. U grabbed a Master Degree with your Cherished Friend, Melinda Gates. Have Mrs. Gates write a Letter on your behalf and you keep your Job.
Downtown Ernie added a Master’ Degree on his Resume.
It’s all cool. The potential Employer “trusted, but verified.”
“Gibs me dat.”
I can’t wait to leave this shitty rathole in my rear-view mirror.
Deeply held principles.
Like, "Who sent you?"
Ok, fine. So his position didn't allow him to discipline anyone.That wasn't really the question was it?. Why didn't he speak up/out after seeing the video and make a public stink about what went down if he was so concerned? Hypocrite!
Pudding head ed is going to stay put until this thing with the teachers is resolved. Sharkey vs. the groot cage match set for thursday, should be good.
Ed is a terrible liar. Every cop knows damn well that every supervisor with a damn blackberry was alerted immediately of the shooting. Every cop knows that every exempt rank member was well aware of the problem with the shooting and that they all watched that video within 48 hours of the incident. All superintendents (going back to Hillard) created this "instant notification" of every damn major incident. They demand photos and videos immediately. I so wish I was back on the job because I would love to pull the records and prove to the media and the black caucus that their special Ed is lying...once again.
Oh...and I loved how Ed said his signature of approval did not mean that he agreed with the finding of justified. LMAO. What is the definition of "approval", Ed?
The press is dead in Chicago. Where was Ed for two weeks? He was the chief of patrol and no one told him how bad the video was? Lies
Hiring a minority for the sake of hiring s minority is a violation of federal law. Hiring MORE minorities ( not just blacks) for the sake of diversity because there is a "compelling government interest" does not violate federal law. So, If the policy is more black, then the response is Federal Law Suit by those adversely affected.
HELLO. He's keeping his job because of us. Keep running and gunning and bringing in hundreds of guns on a weekend. The city appreciates it. That is why they are jamming us at every opportunity.
Whenever Ed is fired city really needs to bring outsider in with military experience to run this Department.
You can trust me I am your puppet leader. Just pull my strings.
McNaughton had worked 18 hrs on a presidential detail, and had been asleep 2 hours when he was called an told to respond to a Police shooting. The question is, who was supposed to get the job and who decided that person was incapable to handle the job. Was Ferguson told not to look that deep.
Leave it to Lewin to provide a loaded laptop.
Let the videos do the speaking. Big diversion.
Makes it look like Ed has a cadre of technical knowledge and
the full backing of the Department. What's that, Ed? Don't
worry, I'll turn it on for you. That's why they pay me. I smile
and play around with tech, all the while making the higher-up
schlubs look good.
Oh fathEaD, you are so embarrassing. The only people, and folks, that are buying your BS is yourself.
The, promoting black officers is the only thing keeping your job.
The issue isn’t you promoting black officers, but promoting some of the dumbest officers ever to hold command spots.
Some of those clowns make you look smart.
Lori, if you want to look stupider than you already do, keep Ed.
What a backwards city/department where the decisions are made Not is what’s Best for the City and it’s residents, but on quotas for the peoples...
You saw the video
I didn’t see the video
The investigation needs an investigation
Rule 14?
Than FLOP should take out an add in the papers or CALL a Press conference and TELL THE PEOPLE whats up. Maybe, just Maybe they could grow some BALLS for a change FLOP !
O.T was just watching WGN, they had Cps Sharkey on , claiming 17000 children are homeless and that's why affordable housing is in the contract (which is a crock to begin with) and then after Larry Potash leads into it mentions that police and fire get housing assistance because we have to live in the city !!! what a misleading piece of shit ! watch for your selves.
Fat Head and the bobble heads could have been the caption over their picture. They all looked so serious, like there was something important going on instead of another politician or city employee lying to the public. Wonder what Chicago Values Fat Head promised them to stand behind him for the photo opp. One other striking thing about the picture 2qsnhow well fed all that steal from the city are.

way to politicize the police Ed has no Shame Showing his clout
This is 100 percent accurate and Lewin also lied. This video was played in the conference room not on a laptop that Johnson couldn’t operate.
They saw the video at the next day's exempt meeting for sure. All the 35th street brass at least. And they all decided that it was a justifiable shooting.
How bout an actual reporter ask the question, plus Ballon Head danced around weather or not he signed off. So ask that specific question as well
Anyone listen to the BULLSHIT fat head Ed said on the news last night when he made a comment about the IG's report on the Laquan Video....Fat Head says "HE" wasn't in Charge and could not make any decisions and did not have all the information...so even at that time I guess fat Head still had a lot of unanswered questions. Un fucking believable how the brass manage to lie and the black Caucasus members buy that shit.
Johnson was the Deputy Chief of Patrol, the de facto head of Patrol since Gulliford was out of pocket. And you mean to tell me the head of patrol wasn't updated regularly on a fatal police shooting? CPIC notifies everyone, including the alderman of the ward involved and the mayor's detail and office. Everyone knew, that night; and if not that night then within 72 hrs everyone knew what happened including all the available video.To not believe that is delusional.
He is gone by Friday 🙁
The Jesse Jackson issued Race Card is being pushed to its limit here.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
He was a DC and dint see the video for two weeks! Sure I believe that!
What does the white caucus think about this?

Well you are obviously a racist. You're not supposed to notice. If Democrats didn't have double-standards they wouldn't have any standards at all.
SO you dont think special ED would do the same thing with the Black Alderman if say a CERTAIN WIFE is caught cheating on a test for a LT promotion?
Anybody read the ethics code?
Why would you call an Alderman that has nothing to do with the ward you live in?
How much does it cost to have alderman stand behind you in FULL uniform in an unauthorized meeting.
IF LORI wants him gone do you really think FAT ERVING has that much pull?
GROOT now knows who leaks her plans!!! ITS special ED you dont pick up all these alderman without passing out merit spot to the clouted.
He is staying on to guide this sergeant test results. Got to have the right people do good on the rankings. Then give the not as smart right people merit. Good luck to those not in the know.
And once again, Ed is lying. They brought a special laptop out from Lewin's IT people and everyone watched the available videos on scene. But the media won't report that for some reason.
Labels: department issues
Whatever happened to his old standard sayings; "As a black man, at the end of the day, I have more questions than answers..."
Lewin.....another gift that keeps on giving
WHEEEEZZZZEEEE overheard the story about the "black caucus" talking about her husband when she came in a few hours late for her "tour of duty", she was so upset she took 4 hours on the end of her shift without even dropping a slip....When she walked out to her car "LAZ" put a ticket on he car for blocking a crosswalk....WHAATTTTT....LMAO
Lori is about to give him 44 captains to promote so he can fulfill his promises.
Tina Skahill said in a Police Board hearing against Sgt Steve Franko...”if I was a Sgt on that scene (as Sgt Franko), I would have started my own internal investigation on the LM case even if my superiors were doing or providing a different narrative. I (Skahill) would have filed an official report with my findings even if contrary to the command chain.” Yet, EJ can say as the Dep Chief of Patrol (#8 in the entire department’s command chain), he had no input or control and “poof” have the Black Caucus (BC) back him...question is, what was promised to the BC by EJ to have them change their perception within 48hrs!?!
Responding to 10/14/2019 06:04:00 AM "Whenever Ed is fired city really needs to bring outsider in with military experience to run this Department."
Have you even been in the military? Good lord, its not a magic potion. Bad commands are notorious.
First he didn't want the job and now he wants to hang onto it forever. Plus he is a fucking liar just like his cheating wife.
So it's like this. Even if he didn't see the video for two weeks. Even if he was not involved in the disciplinary process. He says he believes the shooting was bad. I am not going to get into the merits of whether the shooting was good or bad and what was in the officers mind. It has been adjudicated. but this is a perfect example of what is wrong with the Department. Instead of speaking truth to power, if he thought it was a bad shooting, he kept his mouth shut and his head down. He pulled a Sgt. Schultz. "I know nothing." And the black caucus who talks about change within the Department plays along. Perfect example of how hypocritical they are and that they are all about the politics.
So... he's self admittedly guilty of a rule 22 by not reporting then? I won't be holding my breath for the discipline from Fergie who only seems capable of sandbagging people who had little to no actual responsibility.
Hopefully the ones affected can use this as an example of how the discipline is unfairly, and unjustly applied.
As a CPD FTO, Sergeant, and later when I taught CJ at a small college; I always made it clear, that if YOU as a sworn police officer, saw wrong doing, You were obligated to speak out. If you saw a fellow officer taking a bribe and failed to report it, you at that point were part of the crime. In essence you become a co-conspirator! Whether Fat Head Ed saw the video within 24 hrs, or two weeks later; he had an obligation, as an Exempt Member of the CPD Leadership, to say it was wrong, if he really believed it was wrong! And the only reason this weak knee Moron is still Superintendent, is the point SCC raises: he has promoted more Black officers than any other Superintendent, and the Black politicians LOVE THE ABILITY TO EXERCISE CLOUT/POWER, LIKE THE IRISH USED TO DO 40 YEARS AGO. Same Game, different players. But everything in life is Finite, and the City is dying. Be careful, your leadership is Incompetent and loyal to their political sponsors, Not You. Baby "G"
What is Ed going to do for the next 20 years while his wife runs this department?
Identity politics at its worse. Why not promote the best qualified? It’s all PC optics here. Didn’t they throw out a test result a few years ago? Sgt? Det? Too many white males scored at the top. What a joke!
Ed lies like a rug.
He’s already sold his soul to the Devil( Tiny Dancer & now Groot) so what’s the big deal with adding the Black Caucus to that list?
Disgusting and nauseating.
Time for a no confidence vote for Ed.
LAPA should sue...
Easy multi-million settlement via
Steak-Head Ed's own admission.
This job AND this city stinks and blows...
>Fart<
No pun intended.
I thought Big Head Ed was supposed to be gone by September?

Bingo ..... or was he just blowing off his responsibilities due to the cluster funk nature of those things.

Firstly, I don’t think military experience is going to make much of a difference at the superintendent position. You do what the progressive mayor says or you don’t do at all. This isn’t the military, it’s straight politics, welcome to Chicago.
Secondly, the next superintendent will be a progressive who is hostile to police, maybe even a civilian. Why would a mayor in this city hire someone who isn’t also a progressive? Hurts pushing the agenda. She will hire someone who will be a yes man/woman. I keep telling people this, as big of a goof as Ed is, the replacement will be far worse.
Aldermen: We’ll let you stay so long as you make our 44 friends captains. Johnson: it’s a deal.

As a deputy chief he wasn’t allowed to speak up, but the lieutenant was. They must think everyone is stupid. But it wirked
Prior to this new statement, didn’t the superintendent admit to viewing the video that night
OT Googleme describes the Polish shooting offender as a "Savage", I dare you to do a press release describing a typical west or southside gangbanger shooter as a "Savage"
Rule 14 violation. He didn't see the video until 2 weeks after? Come on, if's that's the case then why isn't anyone asking,your the deputy chief and it took you two weeks to view the video? What kind of department is this. There is video of an officer involved shooting and the deputy chief does not review the video until 2 weeks after the fact? Sounds like a pretty incompetent individual who does not know how to do his job.
Ralph Papa Thorson Says:
Retired Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke is the man for the CPD Supt. job, but the Leftist Commiecrats from Chicago would never hire him...
We have one pathetic superintendent. Going to outside sources pleading to keep his job. He has no honor or pride.
Take it to the bank: 40+ lieutenants connected to these aldermen are being made captain and all sins will be forgiven. Wasn’t a coincidence the captain budget was increased for no reason. The aldermen are the ones who control the pursestrings.
Special Ed was there asked Ozzie.
Lori and Special Ed are tied at the hip and both bent on destroying the Police Department. Lorie from the political end and Ed represents the Insider Threat by his continuing efforts at corrupting the command structure and continues to make poor policy decisions.
To bring an outsider in (especially if they were a high quality, capable and knowledgeable police administrator) would impede Lorie's goal of destroying morale, operational effectiveness and creating a chaotic environment for all concerned.
No sir, Ed stays as he is a "useful idiot", unless a bigger and dumber stooge can be found.
This is all about acquiring and keeping power. You see it play out in Washington, as well as the feminist movement (notice how feminists always complain about not enough women in “power” jobs, such as executives, but don’t give a fuck about a lack of women in jobs like brick-laying or sewer cleaning?)
Boy this sgt test is going be really interesting. If it isn't clear who is desired to be the winners...
Of course he LYING.
A chickenshit liar too.
FakeNews was told not to mention how Dep Chiefs come out for all sorts of patrol related stuff, especially when their Area is involved.
That bees Marathons, Special Events-a-paloozas, disasters and serious crimes and most of all, weapon discharge.
How weak, how cheap, how pathetic to have to round up a bunch of flip-flopping sad sacks to stand behind you.
No backbone whatsoever to stand up on his own record.
And what’s promoting black officers have to do with the topic of viewing a BWCs and dash cams?
Too bad Greta Thunborg went back to school, across the ocean, in Sweden...Lyin’ Jugghead could have used some of her moxie.
What does he want, a Nobel Peace Prize?
How dare you !
Question now is, who’s going to piss on him when his pants lights on fire.
Stay Fetal - let the backstabbing, finger pointing chickenshit Jugghead fend for himself.

EXACTLY I posted something similar in another thread this morning (see below). I was fuming, I called wgn and listened through all of the prompts but couldn't leave a message
Anonymous said...
OT Such bullshit on wgn this morning. The interview with Jesse Sharkey was the worst I've seen. Where do they get this bullshit that police and fire get assistance with housing as if every first responder is living in a discounted living situation. Hardly anyone has taken advantage of the stupid neighbor nextdoor program because you'd have to move your family next to offenders of all types AND in a neighborhood that resembles the aftermath of a war zone. If I'm not mistaken there is a program that includes educators that the government promoted. But, hey...if the teachers want to finally move into the city and live next to the local bangers by all means...let them have it. Because police and fire don't want that long term responsibility and increased danger to their families. Also good luck to to the teachers using their 25 percent increase, they'll need it after they fix up their abando next to the vacant lot courtesy of the good neighbor program. The extra can go toward barbed wire, electric fencing and security guards. Don't call the police or fire.

40new alt at 30 k a piece comes to 1.2 million. Lot of money to be made for those merit and clout phone calls.
Make up your mind what side you’re on Mr Ed Johnson
You watched the Mc D video and said nothing!
Now you say shooting wasn’t justified as you cowardly
surround yourself with a Black Caucus?
You are so full of Sh!T !!
Well said.
Ed's code of silence was deafening. Bought and paid for by rahm promoting him to a job he didn’t apply for.
Humbug.
There ain’t no smoking gun. I didn’t know nuttin bout that tape. Now let’s me get back to my main concern, lowering the homicides in the hoods!
I’m just curious, I have been retired for a while, but could you tell me when they stopped doing round table meetings after a Police shooting or death in Police custody? It seems that they didn’t do that after the McDonald shooting and it sure would have cleared up the “it wasn’t none of me” bullshit.
It sure would look funny if short bus Ed got caught making “merit “ promotions for the black caucus, for their support, especially with the Feds nosing around all the alderpeople and looking for heads;) ya we could only wish....
Fathead Ed was being fired at weeks end. Teacher strike looming put Special Ed on back burner. He circled the wagons and spewed more lies. He will be gone when this teacher mess is settled. They will strike Thursday and Friday, just to show solidarity and force Lightfoot in to a corner, show her who the boss is, then settle on the weekend. All kids back to school after another long weekend

Trust me it's worth it get a personal loan you can easily pay it back over 5yrs with the bump in pay!
10:14? Eddie was supposed to be street deputy the night of the McDonald shooting but he was too drunk so he called McNaughton to fill in for him.
Forget the McNaughton court rule. New CPD rule? "Never answer the phone..." Thank Goodness for caller I.D. !
Rule 14??? We all know not to put our name on official police paperwork (especially this) so why is FOP, COPA and IAD giving him a play??? Think we all know!!
