You Are Not Protected
FOP says what we've been saying for a while now (click for larger version):
Slow your roll - this is what the politicians want.
Give it to them, good and hard.

This means nothing to all of the boneheaded five year wonders. Look up the arrests from 18 Oct - dozens of proactive ghetto arrests for stupid shit. Newer generation PO’s are not on our team.
Please stick together for once. This is such an insult to police.
In years gone by when assholes on this job refused to comply with a work action there cars suffered a consequence
F.O.P,that is a big 10-4!
Every call I go on I take my sweet ass time. I have to protect myself.
why do i have to check the blog to get this alert? i pay dues....
where is Mike SHields? H e would be out there doing it....Graham is like the boss that doesnt want to lose his spot.
Everyday it is more apparent to go fetal. Only do what is required and no more. It isn’t worth getting jackpotted.
The FOP says not to arrest people unless I’m signed complaints then that’s what I’m gonna do. I’ll ride out being on a team until I’m dumped. Maybe a blue card and an ISR for a guy riding a bike on the sidewalk, and I’m done. 9hrs of proactive police-work right there. I know you beat guys will shit on me, but I busted my ass to get here and up until this swipe shit and Rialmo getting fired I worked about as hard as you could. But not anymore 👍🏼 There is no incentive to bring in numbers, hell there is no incentive to protect yourself when you’re in danger. There is no incentive to go to calls because you might need to protect yourself. Might find yourself for fired for not wanting it have your head smashed in with a baseball bat. Fuck Chicago. This department is toxic and they keep us trapped in this city. The measly 70-100k they pay us is worth about 50k anywhere else in Illinois. You guys have no idea how much we’re fooled here. You’re paying 300-400k for a 3 bed 2 bath built in the early 1900’s. The city taxes your measly pay check and gets a large sum of that money back. It’s like a boomerang and it’s the only reason they keep us here. You’re trapped here. They own your ass. They own your money, they own your time, they own your ass. You can’t strike and the FOP is less than useless. Our pension is abysmal. Groot fucks us every step of the way. The poor welfare defendants and illegals burn your taxes to the ground causing our taxes to go up and up and up. Guys the solution is pretty simple but I’m not going to spell it out for you. We get one life, and this isn’t how you live it.

No your not. Get a degree in something useful and until then lateral out of the city.
If you want something better for yourself you can get it but it takes effort on your part.
I left chicago for the burbs and started getting a masters degree. The burbs are a huge improvement but Only a fool would stick around this career.
Amen brother ! 100% spot on. Quit or retire A S A P and get some oblivious, delusional 21 year old to take the job to be the new sacrificial lambs! They will last a couple years and be fired, indicted, or quit. Most agencies in Florida, hire young cops, they screw up once, and they fire them under 5 years seniority, get new cops and just burn thru 'em in any way to fire them for the smallest mistake, constant turnover, low salaries, and no pensions because they never attain 20/25 years of service. That's what will happen here. It's a great plan honestly for cities. Get the delusional, robot PPO's they can use and abuse with no power to speak up or do anything. The old adage : we are all expendable!

2:43 A.M., you have zoned in on the illusion. We are stuck and have to shop at the company store.

I saw the writing on the wall 20 years ago and I am glad I called it early on. I started a home-based business in my spare time and it I worked it like crazy. I worked 3rd watch and did the business during the days and my RDOs. I am not here to tout my business or myself so will post anonymously but I had ZERO business experience and now have 7 employees and retired at age 49 and live in Costa Rica on the beach and do a lot of stuff remotely and come to Shitcago for summers to give my team time off.
I encourage everyone to not piss away your freetime. Do something with it and quick fucking watching Netflix when you are sitting in the squad car with freetime. Do something else. People laughed at me when I was in Public Housing back in 1998 starting my side business telling me it wouldn't work. Well I am 51 years old and have been gone for two years now and just come here for the laughs now and laugh at those some guys who are still stuck on the job today. I never made it past P.O. and my business will gross close to $1M this year.
My point is not to stay until 63 and that horseshit excuse about "I've kid young kids or kids in college" is another poor excuse. I have an 8 year old and I am raising her here in Costa Rica on the beach and she loves it.
Guys don't waste your time watching Netflix. Do something productive with your downtime and set an end goal so you can do 20 and get out.
They think the “YouTube Effect” was bad, wait for the “Rialmo Effect” to filter through. Trying to get police now to do anything will be like trying to get a WW1 soldier to charge across No Man’s Land to assault a German machine gun next.
CTU member here. Do not do shit. It isn’t worth it and a lot of us (not crazy CTU members) really, really, really understand the bullshit you guys are faced with. Our leadership has been hijacked, and so many of us are sick and tired of being maligned by these little social media celebrities who, no doubt, have their eyes on becoming future office holders.
What the young commies don’t understand is that money is finite, and hugs don’t cure criminal behavior.
"This means nothing to all of the boneheaded five year wonders. Look up the arrests from 18 Oct - dozens of proactive ghetto arrests for stupid shit. Newer generation PO’s are not on our team"
You're correct, but who's to blame here? Have the senior officers shown them the way? So many people with seniority are out there bringing in stuff to get their VRI numbers. In a whole lot of roll calls there is no camaraderie. It's every man for himself. Even on this blog all anyone does is talk shit about each other. We haven't made a truly big or effective showing of unity or defiance in the 17 years I've been on this job, so where in the hell would the young guys learn it from. Plus the bosses don't take care of anyone like they used to. It's a very "fuck you, get me my numbers or you're bounced" attitude. So many coppers both new and more senior, are just trying to get through to the end without incident. We can't just keep blaming the new guys. This job has been crumbling for years.
@2:43 “busted your ass” to get on tac, they give that to anyone you dumbshit cus nobody wants it.
Good advice.
Feeeeeeee-tal
The tactical warriors continue to work and bring in the numbers. A lot of beat cops continue to work.
Suburban civilian here. Retired 2018 after spending the last 11 yrs working in Streeterville. Really enjoyed taking advantage of being in the City every day. But no more. I support the CPD and if you all can't protect yourselves, you certainly can't protect me. I'm done.

Ditto!
Not only that, but it looks like the mayor wants to give us a 10% raise while the teachers get 16%. WTF. The teachers union will crack open the TIF treasure chest and help themselves to all the goodies. The FLOP will probably sit on their asses again.
I’m already in sloth mode. Not sure if I can move any slower. I actually have cobwebs on my shoes at the end of my tour now. Swiping in sucks up the majority of my body’s energy. I need to rest before I swipe out.
Every call I go on I take my sweet ass time. I have to protect myself.

At every job unless a 19B an RD should be generated. Grab to-go food on your way back to the station. Eat and type up the report. There's very little liability eating and typing up non-criminal reports at the station. Usually takes about 2 hours from start to finish. There's only 9 hours in the tour, so do the math.
So what happened to that sgt. M who shot that unarmed kid near his house? I’m not sure if he killed him or not.
Soros must be thrilled that his plan is working so well. Few envelopes of cash and the Dept. is destroyed through infighting.
The one thing cockroaches hate is a light shined on them. Follow the money.
I want a supervisor dictating when to arrest, how much force to use--as much as I want syphilis. Who needs a protected white shirt on scene to testify against you?
This is what they want. Do your job, that’s it. Don’t go beyond what they are telling us. Give them their report and advise warrant procedures. Smile and wave.
Arm up citizens.
Well one good thing: speeding on the expressway is back in vogue. Oh wait, the ISP haven’t gone fetal. Never mind, only drive the posted speed.
Be safe everyone. Prayers up and directed to our LEOs.
It’s about time fop grew a pair.
Heard a siren today. Who didn’t pay attention??
Do be proactive for our President when he’s here. Let’s not give the libs any satisfaction.
Keep Chicago Safe Again.
This is the greatest time to be alive in history. The Great Awakening is happening world wide. Hong Kong...Yellow vests..Brexit. It's sad and disgusting that we've been caught in between Obama's race war and the spineless scumbag politicians in this city. But we will get the last laugh. Theres a reason the Media and the leftists hate Trump. Hes tipping the scales of justice back to the people. They are scared shitless about power returning to us. Stay fetal, stay safe, stay smart, and welcome to the Great Awakening.
Department is transitioning?
The police must remain fetal because the FOP is fetal.
This is the one post Chicago police officers HAVE to pay attention to! Please stick together and be heard. FOP, please get off your collective asses and fight for the troops.
this is pretty much what the union for the NYPD put out. I agree with it. You are damn fools to put your job, your financial security and your future in the hands of the progressives currently in charge of the city. Not to mention the media which is always looking for low hanging fruit to write about.
How about the FOP encourages a strike of the sgts test?
Demand the dissolution of the police board.
The city will lose the $$ they’ve invested in administering the test and eventually they’ll fail to stay in compliance with the consent decree.
Picket lines will be formed outside the test site on 14 Dec and anyone crossing the line will be branded a scab
Idiots will cross but will forever be shamed.

You are so stupid on so many levels I can't even address your asinine post. You're a douche. And I'm saying that being female. And BTW dumbf*ck, YOU ARE A BEAT GUY dressed up as a tact asshole. Galactically STUPID.
yikes.
I'm still helping ICE
FYI, this is not from FOP
But should still be followed........
I wanted to respond but I just feel too lazy.

Is t that all of them? Who voted him in. There’s your answer
well, this is terrifying
Been out of town for a while, but let’s see if I got it right. The officer shoots a fellow coming at him with a bat, while the guy’s father who called the police locks himself in a secure toilet because he is in fear of his life. Meanwhile the frightened dad calls the downstairs neighbor lady asking her to let the police in while he stays safe upstairs in the toilet. The fellow with the bat is said to be mentally ill and may be further impaired by drugs. No one knows at the time. The mentally ill guy refuses all lawful police orders to drop the bat and advances on the officer who subsequently shoots him. One of the shots passes through the offender and strikes the helpful neighbor and she subsequently dies of her injuries. Dad, the initial victim in this matter, is still upstairs in the toilet and is safe. The Police Board fires this brave officer for apparently mis-judging the seriousness of the situation.
In another incident, an exempt member of the department takes at least ten officers away from their duties on various dates to babysit his autistic son, costing the city approximately 150 thousand dollars. The exempt then lies during the investigation and is suspended for 30 days. The exempt does not declare the ‘extra benefit’ that is not available to other department members as income but receives a ‘real value’ benefit-Tax Free. This subject is not fired by the Police Board.
Is this okey doke with you Madame Mayor?
I remember having to cancel CTA special employment several times because we were trying to send a message that it should be time and one half instead of straight time.
New on the job and needed the money, but needed tires that stayed inflated also.
Oh for the late 80s.
You are so stupid on so many levels I can't even address your asinine post. You're a douche. And I'm saying that being female. And BTW dumbf*ck, YOU ARE A BEAT GUY dressed up as a tact asshole. Galactically STUPID.
Being a female has nothing to do with your reply, not sure how or why that’s relevant and no, people on teams so do typical beat work. You have obviously not ever been on a team because your comment is “galactically stupid”. We don’t do traffic crashes, domestics, retail thefts, hospital runs etc. the list is actually pretty endless. Do you work for CPD?
To the guy saying tact is handed out because people don’t won’t to work. Not in my district. It’s pretty competitive. I’m not saying that to be combative, it’s legitimately difficult to get.
As a Supervisor of 20 years I approve this message.....

Thanks for your input and I'm sorry. But you are absolutely correct, there's nothing we can do for the citizens. Every non-clouted CPD officer is in self-preservation mode. Hopefully the plague does not spread to the suburbs. For protection buy a gun Sir and promptly leave the scene should you ever need to use it to defend your life.
Lightfoot was elected by 30% of the vote. The handwriting on the wall for her was limited based on her abilities and more importantly Preckwinkle was a worse choice. She never gained control of the city and body politic. Now clearly she is losing control of the City. Her reform has brought chaos and confusion. She may a once have been a federal attorney but who cares. She is the Mayor of Chicago and under her leadership things have gotten worse and its spiraling down the drain.
Her Police Dept. is no loner functioning at an efficient level due to gross mismanagement and poor leadership. Neither she nor Ed know how to be an effective leader. Nothing complex here just poor leadership and no support to/for the police. The police are acting accordingly to survive in the chaos generated by City Hall. You make the job more difficult for us and we react accordingly. Ed will be gone soon. Lori will have a failed legacy and leave after her first term. We will still be here. We may well have equally incompetent leaders but maybe betters ones. In the meantime, people will be taxed into fleeing the city and citizens will continue to be victimized. We will give them the service they want and deserve.
Retired a little over two years ago.
Worked 21 years on the westside and 5 in the old Housing South unit.
Wouldn't change shit, if l could go back and do it again.
Reading this blog has me realizing how fortunate l was.
5 days till closing in Tennessee, 30 days before being officially moved there, 327000 got me 2900 sq ft home, built in the 97 and it comes with no neighbors and 16 wonder acres of land to do as i want.... and for a whooping 1020.00 a year in property tax that’s a 8 grand saving right off the bat. Oh and they don’t tax your pension there not is there income tax. Quality of life or toxic Chicago and IL. Yup see ya

Proof that assholes can have a penis, vagina or perhaps both. There’s way too many people like you on the job, which makes working so much more divisive and painful. I can’t wait to quit this job as well. People like this I definitely won’t miss, galactic assholes.
3:22 pm
Close. Escamerit was only suspended for 7 days, not 30.
If I roll any slower, I might as well walk. Fuck this city and it's democrat SJW asswipe rulers.
I called FOP and they confirmed it's from them

Lol, I got a bump card long before tact. I like to stay two steps ahead of the curve.
10/20/2019 02:31:00 AM A warning. Remove your rear view mirror, so you don't suffer second guesses from nostalgia. Remember the good days, and the night sweats from the bad days. Don't ever look back. I'm a lot further south than you, but with time, all I can remember is the "Good ol' days."
10/19/2019 02:43:00 AM Late nite posting is not always good. Wake up tomorrow, and see if you would send the same thing again?
Who signs your paycheck? The FOP. Don't think so. Earn your salt.
in the 60's fleeing auto thief could be shot , in the 70's a burglar fleeing a crime scene was fair game, no criminal would ever lift a 2x4 ,hammer ,shovel, rake,beer bottle ,knife or God forbid a gun in the direction of a police officer unless they wanted a free exam from the medical examiner .
clench your fist , raise your voice and advance toward a police officer and you would be charged with aggravated battery ,resisting arrest and spend a few hours in the ER before going to county . Once at cook county the guards would be informed to use extreme caution because offender was a police fighter .
you know how that ended , story with a happy ending , not to many big mouth , police fighters .
today a person attempts to run you over , threaten you with a knife ,baseball bat , even a gun and the media and activists want to hang you . Exception , if you are a political merit appointed black sergeant and OFF DUTY and for some reason you shoot n UNARMED special needs black child , never call 911 for help , not in fear of death or great bodily harm , you keep your job , no protests by fake reverends , activists or black politicians because BLM is only a myth to harm good police officers and community watch officers protecting themselves from death or great bodily harm .
