Sentencing Recommendation
- A former Chicago police commander who was caught pilfering more than than $360,000 in Social Security payments should be imprisoned for 18 to 24 months, federal prosecutors say in a memo filed Tuesday evening ahead of sentencing next month.
Kenneth A. Johnson, who led the Englewood patrol district for two years ending with his 2018 retirement, pleaded guilty this year to collecting the payments — intended for his mother — for more than two decades after her death.
"For over 23 of the 32 years that Johnson was employed by the Chicago Police Department to serve the public and enforce the law, Johnson was committing a federal crime every single month," the memo says. "Johnson betrayed the public trust and stole from a program designed to assist the most vulnerable members of our community."
But hey, he got a nice car out of the deal.
We heard the plate said "THX MA RIP"

I’ll give him 30 g’s for his Audi.
Does he get to keep his pension?
caught pilfering more than than $360,000 in Social Security payments should be imprisoned for 18 to 24 months,
WTF?....where's the deterrent? Does he keep the $360 thousand?
It should have been 18-24 years!
Well at least he has a pension...
18 months for $360,000? So 9 months of cell time total? Johnson won.
Weird how IAD was never notified by the thieving exempt that he was under investigation.
You see he could have been slammed with an IAD investigation for not reporting a goverment aganecy was investigating stealing mamas check. He did close the account when he found out. but SLEEPY special ED rushed him out the door when the FEDs notified him of the felony theft case.
Expect the same deal happening with drunk guy sleeping in a city car.
ONLY LOWLY patrol officers are stripped of pensions and cant even expunge cases that are not guilty in cook county courts.
Holy shit that plate comment may be one of your best yet.
No restitution? WTF!
This corrupt fool should have been indicted back in 2004 with all the illegal shyt he did in Englewood with flagg & jones! He is a walking example of the failed merit system. And people are stupid enuff to think his twin brother had no ideal this was occurring, I call bullshyt.
So will his pension be forfeited ? These were all criminal acts while he was a police officer
How do these theives and simpletons get promoted ?
Sociopaths do not feel embarrassment, guess this fool
believed the money was entitled to him! While senior
citizens struggle to make ends meet! Good riddance !
This department is a joke , can’t wait to get out !
So long you jive turkey! Don't drop the soap......
WTF? That's a bullshit sentence for a cop who started out in narcotics as a thief and got merit promoted by higher ranking thieves. This prick better be talking and giving up some of his criminal friends in order to plea that deal.
Unbelievable! This guy should get 10 years!
They’re twins right? Take your brother with you, he’s useless. Better idea, switch places , no one will,ever know
No games by Feds when you are stealing their money. Gonna get hit good for this.
Is that longer than Blago got?
Cozzi smacked some disgusting drunk and got housed for almost 4 years. This crooked commander who screwed his shoes onto his feet every morning and stole over 300,000 dollars will get at the most 2 years. He got the jackson family package deal.
Guess this is how the CPD intends to build community trust one CPD jail term at a time. See we are just like you.
One month for each 20 thou. Not much of a deterrent.
Feds gone soft?
Chicago ghetto values on parade!
Still get a pension?
Keeps pension because crime not "directly" related to being the POlease
Will be on the hook for the 360k for 25 years which the Feds get to take a % of his pension until the 360k is paid up
Shiiiiit....I'll spend 9 months in Club Fed for 300,000 grand. Good to know. I was raised by two dad's, neither of whom I liked. Hopefully I'll be able to do the same scam when my last surviving father kicks the bucket. Once I make Exempt I'll also have my CAPS slaves babysit my special needs daughter for a year since it will only be a 7 day suspension when I get caught.
Chicago ain't ready for real reform. Luckily the pussywillow news reporters are too scared to ask the Mayor how she feels about having a drunk superintendent in charge that leaves one Commander in place after the Inspector General recommends termination, and tips off another one to retire early for stealing money from the government by using his dead mom.
WOW that less than a month per year!!! not a bad return on the investment.
Yes, he will still get his pension. Hopefully he will be forced to repay the money he stole.
It's only tax money. Who cares?
Well, I guess crime really does pay......

Never forget, that is our money, the fed doesn’t produce or earn anything.. The fed steals it from us through taxation.
“Earned, not given!”
Since its a felony he should lose him pension, right?
Restitution ?
He keeps his pension but he has to pay back back all the money he stole.
He’s a member of the permanent victim class and a merit connected member of the clout club. He is obviously protected by the phony Usdoe and RINO Lausch. Obama still controls the system. Look at Smollett, no charges for the white powder.
So he stole $360,000... have him pay for his prison time. And again stiffing the taxpayers!
He should be stripped of his pension. Anyone without clout would be. Totally disgusting, but that's the ghetto mentality.
Hahaha!!! Thanks ma, Hahahaha!!!!

Since it's Federal time he should serve 90%.
Any questions contact Blago.

You beat me to it. I was thinking the same thing. Different spanks for different ranks and skin color
Please let sleepy be his cellmate
What about restitution? Should the fed sentencing penalty not include returning the 360k--with interest--to the Treasury?

No kidding, the recent sentencing event even made NPR!
Blagojavich didn’t get any money, just talked about it, 14 years?
How can this even happen? When someone dies the funeral home notifies Social Security. It is not up to the family. My husband just died and Social Security knew it within two days! Did this guy bribe the funeral home to shirk that duty?

take his pension
I worked with KJ in 007 tact team. Saw him the other day. Never took care of me. Wonder why.
This goofs needs to get more time then Blago got, a real pig, pussed all that money away and he still gets a pension? Why this was a crime committed while still employed as a cop
He got several nice cars out of it.
He’d have a new high end car every couple of years.
I’m sure good ole Mom was paying the “note”.

What do u call white collar crimes. U r smart enough to understand that white collar crimes dont carry the same sentence as violent crimes or crimes implying violence or a weapon. So if a banker who commits a white collar crime must be trailer park parade

Probably, it’s not that you were a police officer, it has to be related to the job. Also if you retire before getting convicted you get the pension. Then the pension board has to have a hearing and vote on discontinuing the pension
Let that P.O.S. rot.
His siblings are still looking for their cut.
Syrup or jelly bitch
Pimps and gangster get lonely too. This SOB in disguise took us all for a ride when he used to spout the whole ethics bullshit at roll call, and made sure he let you know he was in charge, fuck you bitch. Hope your mama is proud of what you've done to her image and memory. How the fuck can your brother look in the mirror and not feel remorse because he sure as hell knew. These two psychopaths should be preserved and studied by medical institutions after they die. They may learn a thing or two about sociopath's manipulation of the system.
"So will his pension be forfeited ? These were all criminal acts while he was a police officer"
albeit it true, his actions were not undertaken while acting within the scope of his employment. I would however expect the feds to garnish his pension until they feel they have been justly compensated.
Three sets of rules still. The connected. The bosses. The rest of us.
Just retired in June and applied for SS. Last week the SS Administration sent me a letter stating that they overpaid me $784 and they want it back (I was getting $944/month). Is Johnson paying back what he owes? I agree with the poster who stated he beat the system with just doing jail time. He should pay them back with a brick on his pension.
Federal Law demands that restitution be ordered by the Court. After he gets released he will have to start paying back the 360k. Good luck with that Kenny. No pension for you!!

My guess is no since his criminal activity occurred when he was an active member. Had he done this after retirement, he would be fine.
They should double what he stole and add it to his $360K he already has to pay back.

Can’t blame him for carrying but as his mentor Barry says he “acted stupidly!”
Hey Dahleen Glanton (from the Chicago Tribune),
I’m calling you out!
How are you going to put your never ending racist spin on this
Ex-Commanders years of crime and add your version of justification?
Are you going to put it on how it’s President Trumps
fault? Or maybe because he had no father figure in his life?
Or maybe he wouldn’t have been charged if he was white?
Can’t wait for your response, we all need a good laugh.
Johnson, you disgraced piece of shit-I hope as soon
as you hear that jail cell door slam shut that every day
of your sentence seems like a lifetime!

I think you guess is wrong. Just being employed as an officer does not keep you from receiving your pension. It has to be related to your job and that you used your position to commit a felony
Yes he’s getting a pension
Google
Better government assoc Illinois pension database
Put in Kenny’s name and you’ll see his 127k a year pension
Federal Law demands that restitution be ordered by the Court.
11/22/2019 02:32:00 PM
Does it include penalties and interest? The balance should be treated no differently than if the amount were taken via a credit card account, otherwise, he stole one sweet interest-free personal loan.
For all that are guessing or thinking just being an officer doesn’t allow him to receive a pension are misinformed. According to pension law below it would be hard to show the felony was out of or in connection with his service as a policeman
According to the Illinois Pension Code, “none of the benefits…shall be paid to any person who is convicted of any felony relating to or arising out of or in connection with his service as a policeman.
What a real dog ass using his mother to get extra money
How can this even happen? When someone dies the funeral home notifies Social Security. It is not up to the family. My husband just died and Social Security knew it within two days! Did this guy bribe the funeral home to shirk that duty?

Probably wrapped her up and put in the trunk of his fancy car.
Johnson, who pleaded guilty to one felony count of theft of government funds, will be ordered to repay the $363,064, the plea agreement says. He was also withdrawing the funds from that joint account right at the ATM in the Englewood station! Sentencing December 3
This is so disgusting. What a disgrace to our entire profession. And let me tell you, his fat ass twin who is currently running the academy (into the ground), is just as guilty as the one who got caught. Ken was definitely the brains between the two of them - actually, just brain, since they were both only good for about a half on their best day. When Kevin was leading 011 (even further into the ground), he had to call his criminal counterpart every day to see what time he should take a shit. Couldn't make a decision then and certainly can't now. Ken told Kevin all about what he was doing and told him he'd handle it. They BOTH got their cut. There just wasn't enough evidence to prove that the money that slim gave fatty every month came directly from mama's stolen purse. Feds had to go for the solid conviction with slim shady. Anybody that worked with this thief wasn't surprised by the charges. That says a lot. Thankfully they were both rewarded for their continuous scandalous behavior with several merit promotions.
How can one say he didnt do it as the popo. But one statement made that he used the atm at his district. What time wss it done? If during work hours. Bam hes guilty as shit. Lose pension
Under the jail. Or give the fat fuck a bar of soap and an all day shower.

However, these crimes were committed WHILE he was a sworn police officer, he committed a crime hence he should NOT be allowed his pension. The sad thing is that Supt Johnson forewarned him of the indictment and he retired immediately, I believe within a few days. That alone should be a reason for Supt Johnson to be fired. Interference? Obstruction of some kind? Are the FEDS listening??? Mayor Lightfoot??? Why don't you ask the Feds what day did they meet with the Supt and inform him of the charges....there is a connection! And his identical twin brother, what a joke, Ken J knew all about it. He should be held accountable as well!

You are a moron! Any crime committed while a sworn law enforcement officer is pension forfeitable....unless you cut some kind of deal with the Feds. Geez, not related to his police duties, WTF are you thinking!

Boy we only get the best and brightest. Even if you lifted the city resident clause who would want the fucking job?

Hey moron, read the pension law. Here’s an example. There’s also a fireman in prison for murdering his wife collecting a pension. He was active fire , but not job related. I like how you make up a pension law you also sound like a fool when you say any crime. It has to be a felony
According to the Illinois Pension Code, “none of the benefits…shall be paid to any person who is convicted of any felony relating to or arising out of or in connection with his service as a policeman.” That means that Servin could collect a pension even if convicted of a felony, since he was off duty when he fired at Boyd and a group of friends, striking the young black woman in the head and ending her life. The state law says nothing about a police board ruling or the city having any say as to whether he gets a pension.

OMG are you dumb. This has been discussed on this Blog dozens of times. Look up the term “Color of law”. He will not lose his pension because his crime was not directly related to his office and he did not use his office to aid in the crime. ie... rob dope dealers while at work = lose pension, rob dope dealers off duty and never identifying yourself as a cop = keep pension.

——————————————
You mean taxpayers will be forced to repay 90% of the money he stole. The taxpayers fund the majority of the pension. The only part that he contributes is his paltry percentage. In situations like this, he should lose $100% of his pension and that money should be left in the pension fund for non-criminal retirees to collect.
Pilfering?
This was a tad MORE than 'pilfering'.
Wow.
Three years hard labor, payback money and take his pension! Who in the fuck does that? A good paying job with benifits and your stealing your dead mothers checks. What a shithead!!!
Does anyone know if Michael J Acosta lost his pension? Cmdr of the airport for defrauding some fund.
And he was less than a year from turning 55 years old. I knew something was up when he up and retired just before 55 years old, lol.
I love it when one of the unqualified, clouted, chosen ones goes down. The department treated other qualified people like red headed step children, while this fool and others like him had good spots, and climbed through the ranks. Karma works sometimes.

How many monthly pension checks will it take to pay the Feds back, plus interest?
Double that amount and make him spend that many months in prison. He won’t need the checks in prison, he’ll have all expenses paid there! ;)
