The Real Reason Beck is Here

Groot doesn't need a fill-in super. She needs a hatchet man who will follow orders:
  • LL is going with an outsider who has no connections to the Alder-thieves or Rev’s as interim Sup. He’s gonna do all the chopping at the top without any discussions, back door dealing or nepotism EXCEPT LL’s.

    Watch for two chiefs to be demoted or put in their papers tomorrow (Friday). One Chief to 1st Deputy in the coming weeks and another two retiring by the end of the year. We’ll have a new Chief of Patrol, BOD, OCD and D unit by 01 January 2020.

    Also, look for another former LAPD big wig that’s been working with CPD to be next Sup.
That would be the Malinowski character who's been setting up the Strategic Decision Support Centers (aka camera rooms) and working with the U of Chicago eggheads. He was Chief of Detectives in LA, so perhaps concentrating on the D-unit will be his big thing?

Certainly interesting times are approaching.

She ran without support of any of the west or south side revrunds and now don’t need them

She obviously can see how dysfunctional the upper command is of the department and will finally hold them accountable. It’s going to be fun watching all the command staff jockey for position just like when Weiss was headed this way, look at me boss I’m doing this and that. Let the back stabbing begin.

If Beck demotes that corrupt idiot fred waller, demotes the domestic wife fighting lil punk Bradley, and dumps that loud mouth idiot caps girl skanky banging Terence Williams, he has my 100% support.

I don't blame the mayor for picking an outsider. Look at the unprofessional trash running around in these deputy chief positions.

Yep. And she's keeping Ed around so the black caucus, BLM, Flager, etc. don't all start crying right off the bat about an evil old white man replacement in a city that demands Afro American Leaders. I just don't see her eventually making the other guy from L.A., or anyone else permanent Supernintendo that isn't black or a female.

There are a couple of gold star bastards I'm praying Beck fires or demotes.

And to all you doom and gloom bitches that constantly think you are cerebral with your "better off with the devil you know," comments, please let us know how it can get any worse?

Ed is hands down the worst Superintendent of all time. His staff of gold stars are horrendous. Hopefully we see a gold star gutting similar to when Weiss first became Superintendent.

Thus, the final decapitation chapter of our tragedy begins. The once functioning police department of this great city will be all but gone in spirit and soul, oh yeah and culture too. Strap in, strap on; but mostly just be strapped. It's now up to the concealed carriers to pick up the slack in their own neighborhoods South and West.

Malinowski has big connects with U of I too and other companies he conned for paychecks. He is a used car salesman by nature. He was not chief of detectives very long. Not that it matters to the Groot. Word is she interviewed him already and surprisingly she was not that thrilled. Probably because Malinowski is a better bullshitter than her and she can't compete with that. Although Beck could change her mind about Malinowski over the next few months. Beck sponsored Malinowski from his first day on LAPD. that's his guy. Malinowski has literally no street experience. Always been an inside mover and shaker. He likes the computer technical driven crap that he believes can solve crimes. Yea Beck can feed Malinowski the scoop on how to win Lori over to get the job.

S.O.S..Attention...Anthony Escamerit..S.O.S.! If you are reading this, urgent!

Do not let this new guy from LAPD intimidate you. Now is the perfect time for you to use this opportunity to get yourself promoted to Deputy like you have always dreamed of. Have your CAPS officers iron your uniform and take your dress blues to the cleaners. Make sure they polish up all those awards so that they look gleaming when pinned to your outer garment.

Then go straight to headquarters, march yourself right into Beck's office, and demonstrate on your hands and knees just what it takes for a dumb asshole to get multiple merit promotions in this town. Show this LAPD transplant the real "Chicago Way." He might seem unimpressed at first but just keep doing what you can to please him. Eventually you can share with him your secret study mental notes for your City Wide Day Care experiment.

Remember, you are Anthony Escamerit, and it's going to take one hell of an arrogant, stupid, cowardly pussy to ever take away any of the promotions that you feel that you are entitled to. Just do yourself a favor and don't play the 'What's up?' game with him until maybe after he makes you deputy.

What people need to keep in mind is what happens in the upper echelon of the Department has little to no direct effect on the livelihood and daily goings on of 90% of CPD employees.

So, what’s old is new again. This shit show is cyclical - sit back and enjoy the program as those never-been-the-police political hacks squirm, jockey and eat their own in a desperate attempt to save their own hides.

I agree with your premise. I find it sardonic that the news media, the rev-runs and the community speak of how the racist and corrupt police department (and they allude that it is the rank and file) must be reformed. Sure there has been rank and file people caught up in corruption but it is minuscule. The real corruption is the politicians, the administration, the criminal justice system including judges and lawyers and the upper ranks of the CPD. The clout promotion system (now disguised as merit) has destroyed the moral fiber and the morale of the police department. And everybody knows this. The media always talks about the code of silence as if police officers are in collusion with each other. What I found was the code of silence was people that should not have been promoted keep quiet about who their clout is and always say with a straight face, I was so surprised when I got promoted. Everybody kind of has an idea who on their clout was but they will never tell you, I made it on my own!
So when started to run for Mayor she should have had an idea of who she wanted for Superintendent and should have started the vetting then. This interim shadowing with two Superintendents is more waste of taxpayer’s. Put the new person in a have them do your hatcheting. None of the “reforms” will stop the shootings, killings and other crimes as this regime will use there ideas on how to reshape crime in Chicago. A lot of the large metro areas in the country are going with the socialistic progressive movement of eliminating the crime by not making it a crime anymore. We see the prosecutors dropping charges or plea bargaining. Our own Kim Foxx is a leader in this movement. On Fri 7 Nov 19 the Tucker Carlson Show had a blatant example of of a guy who murdered a victim and it was brought down to an assault. The victim’s mother explained the details. The show also had a teacher of 28 years on the job who explains how the teacher’s unions have turned Communist and how they are filling our kids full of propaganda. She said you have to pull your kids out and home school them.
So In Chicago our police leaders will change but it won’t stop the carnage but you the lowly rank and file will be reformed, by god!

Let's not forget that when Jody Weiss took over, he was expressing his vision one week before being sworn-in as the Sup. Weiss was never a local cop in a big city, but he new what was needed somehow or he was a puppet and we dodge a Consent Decree then. Weiss was replacing Phil, who shrunk crime. Back then Mayor Daley gave Phil credit for a 4 year downward spiral on crime. We all got that crime reduction award because of Phil and that Leadership. So, here is my point if the current leadership in place was delivering on the mission and we were about to get an outsider with no ties or where to find the pulse of this Department. Guess what happened during the first 24 hours after being sworn-in Sup Weiss lobbed the heads off all the District commanders. I personally consider that a Hostile take over. So, we had a Federal Experiment, a New York Experiment and now it looks like they are fishing for an L.A. Experiment. You know that if L.A. gets there Shot that they will bring some more L.A. Personnel, for he will need a someone to trust.

When did it become ok to embarrass supervisors in front of the whole dept command staff? I can’t believe how horrible concept this idea is and nobody will stop it. Almost every district now has an 06 team to purely drive up numbers for compstat. It’s sickening and not why I took this job. If Beck gets rid of this stupid time and money wasting weekly brow beating many of us immediately respect him.

Hopefully he tells them all to go get f@&ked and straightens out this train wreck of a department! And for the guy that has a hard on about Staples, how is it her fault for the low clearance rate? If "nobody saw nuthin" or the state refuses to charge unless there is video, audio, a signed and notarized confession letter and a bus full of nuns who witnessed it how would you go about raising the rate? Truth is that she is one of the few exempts that can actually put together a coherent sentence. Maybe if you were a better detective, not 8 months behind on your gpr's and actually went out and canvassed correctly instead of sitting there bitching all time the clearance rate might climb by one or two. Sorry you got dumped from your cush spot for being useless but maybe you should look in the mirror and stop blaming Staples.

We really don't know what Beck is going to do. This isn't LAPD. But already a small number of extremists BLM is given credibility by the hateful Chicago media that Beck is racist.

For the media reading this: What do you want? Can you give us a break please. Everyone understands you want viewership. But your negative coverage is killing the CPD the same way HIV kills a person's immune system.

The prosecutor won't charge anyone, police aren't going to risk their career for a traffic stop, half the dept is under the age of 30, CPD suicides are out of control, yet you still beat police down daily. And the "thoughts and prayers" offered when a copper is killed doesn't absolve you from the constant bombast.

Bottom line, we get it, you have an agenda, fine. But you're reporting is making the public so hateful and disrespectful to police that one day criminals might just get their wish.

In a way this could be good for CPD on some level. Useless top heavy brass could be forced into retirement, or possibly demoted. These are the thrice merited who game the system for their benefit. They are the entitlement group that doesn't see a problem with CPD in it's current state. LL isn't anybody's sugar daddy and the cuts can be made deep since no loyalties are to be strained here. This is a time to cut serious dead weight off completely. Unfortunately their replacements will come from the same merit hack system that has plagued CPD for decades.
On the other hand, our pension system is going to take a hit with these sudden gold braid pensions. Maybe they could investigate a little deeper and fire a few of them and charge them criminally for misdeeds that have long been covered up by the culture of corruption. Just to set an example.
Either way, it's going to be a show as they scramble for their jobs. A real live version of "Game of Thrones".

The Mayor just wants someone who is not tainted by “The Chicago Way”, and who will implement the drastic changes which she wants.

I love the way Beck described his homicide clearance rate. Typical play on words. If you listen closely he says “the homicide rate in the south division is 80%...(short pause)...higher than the other divisions”. Wait!!! Is the clearance rate 80% in the south division? NOPE!!! It’s 80% higher than the other divisions meaning if another division has 10% homicide clearance rate than HIS was 80% higher or 18%. Hrs already shown he’s a master at manipulating those numbers.

I agree with some previous posters, if Tom Selleck comes in here and get cuts the command staff to pre Cline era levels we might have a chance. He should also recommend that your highest civil service rank is your pensionable rank. I’ll even take it a step or two further. One bite out of the merit Apple or your pensionable rank is the last rank you tested in to. For example say a deputy who was a merit sgt merit LT and never passed a test will have the pension of a PO. One more example for the slower folks, if you make sgt off the list then get a merit LT spot your pension will be that if a sgt.

My lord . I have 29 years on and waiting til that 55. This train has truly come off the rails. Nobody in our command staff can run the show until we find a new superintendent? Or does Lori lightfoot think all exempts are not qualified? Something to ponder in the days ahead. But i will tell you this, she is not our friend!

LA Police Chief Fractures His Pelvis
CB became Chief in 2009 but refused to give up motocross.
He crashed on a stony trail riding in the Tehachapi Mountains
north of LA. CB remounted his bike and rode back to his
truck then he drove himself to hospital. He's a member of the
HoleShot Club. HoleShot is the official newsletter of the SoCal
Chapter of the Over The Hill Gang.
Hey Charlie, can we have a real motorcycle escort the next
time Trump comes to town? Did Lori throw in a CPD bike for
a souvenir? CB is a TV star back in SoCal. He does color
for the races. Digs the headset and he lights. Headset
Charlie, 10-4, Man. Will his ego survive low-pro Chicago?
Was he a Disco Star? Your heart is where your rig is, and
baby his rig is staying in LA.

With all the bitching that goes on about the exempt ranks and how they got there, you would think people would be thrilled with Tom Selleck being the new Superintendent. With any luck this new guy will come in and actually see how incompetent some of these bosses are. Having no allegiance to the political establishment and the local scam artists except Mayor Groot he hopefully will not feel the need to take all those “phone calls”.
Maybe Weiss or McCarthy weren’t the right answer but I’d sure keep trying. What do you think the chances are that an honest outsider would allow the scam Lieutenant’s exam where bosses allowed their wives or girlfriends to land in the top ten in a fixed exam? Or, what are the chances that an honest outsider would allow a connected Sergeant to shoot a handicapped teenager and then cover it up? Wouldn’t it be nice if a Superintendent didn’t know or care that someone’s father and grandfather had been a Deputy Chief or Superintendent and that meant they automatically were smarter than 98% of the department and therefore entitled to the same exempt rank? Tell me we all don’t know a few of those “blessed” souls. Sad part is that it happens all too often.
Don’t know about the rest of you people but I think this Department is ready for REAL change, or is it as the old saying goes “this town ain’t ready for reform”.

Makes sense.
Shortshanks hired The JPud to do the same when nobody here at the time was willing to do the firing.

It will never matter who becomes the Command Staff, regardless how many arrests the knucklehead hard chargers chase down, Cook County will always let the criminals avoid penalties and jail.
Until Larri LightLoafer concedes to Prickwrinkle and endorses KmmmFxxxUp 2020, restorative justice will remain the leading cause of low clearance, victim/witness bullying and inconveniencing, expect continued violent lawlessness. Prickwrinkle more than anyone wants LightLoafer to feel the burn.
A new WestCoast political management team might be allowed with mayoral approval to change how a Clearance is defined, that’s about it.
A Supt like Jugghaid was just a fanboy for KmmmFxxxUp and done nothing in his power to blast the restorative justice nonsense, he too was just another biased slack-assed community organ grinder. For 3-1/2 years all SpecialEd done was saying blue shirts have to build trust. Patted himself on the back right up to yesterday’s speech and still blaming the beat folk for not getting to that trust bridge.

Looney Groots it bent on this bullshit consent decree.
Groot is essentially blaming the all the Multi Merit Hacks for failing to meet the mandates...that’s good, it’s about time.
But it seems that new outsiders are merely directing the rearranging and there will always be GrootLoafer’s disdain for the lowly blue shirt beat car.

Wonder who real pressured SpecialEd to abruptly up and leave, besides the incriminating BWC DUI video?

I agree with your premise. I find it sardonic that the news media, the rev-runs and the community speak of how the racist and corrupt police department (and they allude that it is the rank and file) must be reformed. Sure there has been rank and file people caught up in corruption but it is minuscule. The real corruption is the politicians, the administration, the criminal justice system including judges and lawyers and the upper ranks of the CPD. The clout promotion system (now disguised as merit) has destroyed the moral fiber and the morale of the police department. And everybody knows this. The media always talks about the code of silence as if police officers are in collusion with each other. What I found was the code of silence was people that should not have been promoted keep quiet about who their clout is and always say with a straight face, I was so surprised when I got promoted. Everybody kind of has an idea who on their clout was but they will never tell you, I made it on my own!
So when started to run for Mayor she should have had an idea of who she wanted for Superintendent and should have started the vetting then. This interim shadowing with two Superintendents is more waste of taxpayer’s. Put the new person in a have them do your hatcheting. None of the “reforms” will stop the shootings, killings and other crimes as this regime will use there ideas on how to reshape crime in Chicago. A lot of the large metro areas in the country are going with the socialistic progressive movement of eliminating the crime by not making it a crime anymore. We see the prosecutors dropping charges or plea bargaining. Our own Kim Foxx is a leader in this movement. On Fri 7 Nov 19 the Tucker Carlson Show had a blatant example of of a guy who murdered a victim and it was brought down to an assault. The victim’s mother explained the details. The show also had a teacher of 28 years on the job who explains how the teacher’s unions have turned Communist and how they are filling our kids full of propaganda. She said you have to pull your kids out and home school them.
So In Chicago our police leaders will change but it won’t stop the carnage but you the lowly rank and file will be reformed, by god!

He had a spectacular ascension to the job he never knew he wanted and is leaving the same way.

You know back in the day you would look at the command staff and ask yourself or others in conversation who you would work a car with. It was usually telling of the individuals capacity to lead in their respective roles. There was always at least a handful of “ bosses” you would be willing to work a car with. It was just a barometer of an exempts level of respect he had with the officers. For years now I cannot think of any exempt I would be willing to work a car with. It’s a complete shit show.

This is what happens when 80%+ of your command staff has never legitimately scored well enough on even one of their promotional exams to advance unaided. Most of the aforementioned also have limited experience on the street due to using that same clout to avoid the heavy lifting prior to their ascension to greatness. The few people that are accomplished, legit and competent, generally don’t fit a “community” pleasing demographic. I hope this guy has been brought in to cull the herd and I hope he has the instinct and intelligence to see through the bullshitters. Granted, what Lori might replace them with might be even worse but these scammers, cheaters and pompous entitled half wits deserve everything they have coming.

Hey Charlie, take a GOOD look at our exempt rank. Than ask about merit promotions. Every single chief except for Konow is a merit lieutenant. How can you possibly explain how that many people couldn't do well enough on a promotional exam to be promoted by rank order yet are so well qualified that they can be a chief? Defies all common sense. Now let's go back to the 1st Deputy. Richio was promoted in rank order, yet the 4 1st Deputies prior to him were all merit promoted to lieutenant. Then go back and look at how many have been the recipient of previous merit promotions. This is akin to winning the lottery week after week. Something is wrong and needs to be looked at. I know we are merit promoting because of color, ethnicity, sexual orientation and clout but at what point do we stand up and say that this has been a failed experiment? This city and this department needs to suck it up and stand up to the "groups" and tell them if they want a proper functioning department run by people that make quality decisions then the time has arrived to promote quality. Just look at all the bad decisions in the past 10 years from our exempts and then look at the merit promotees. A blind person could see that correlation.

My question is why is there an "interim" Sup. now??? Are we paying 2 Supes ?
Interim is by definition the time in-between. We have a Sup. until 1 JAN. Then he goes away and she needs to pick someone new. When we need an interim Supe, is the time between when EJ retires and she picks a new Sup.

Now with outside #'s, GPS, PDTs and Sgt logs, you'd have to be an idiot to not be able to figure out who anyone is. When you have no original ideas, concentrate on the bullshit.

Make me interim Supe for a month and I’ll end a lot of the bullshit and nonsense that goes on in the department.
I’d immediately end ALL details and send everyone back to their unit of assignment..... then analyze if any of them need to be assigned to wherever they were detailed from.
It’d be an instant boost of manpower to Patrol and the Districts.

My lord . I have 29 years on and waiting til that 55. This train has truly come off the rails. Nobody in our command staff can run the show until we find a new superintendent? Or does Lori lightfoot think all exempts are not qualified? Something to ponder in the days ahead. But i will tell you this, she is not our friend!

Yes the majority are unqualified. I’m sure Lightfoot is fully aware of the multiple merit promotions of friends hooking up friends etc etc. merit destroyed the CPD. Totally corrupt system.

Chicago Police Department needs a shakeup, especially in the detective division. Plenty of fine and hardworking men and women there, but also plenty of do nothings and supervisors who never should have been assigned. When you compare the homicide investigations that come out of Los Angeles city and the county you would see what I mean.Time for change and time to get rid of the merit promotions that run this department, right into the ground

11/09/2019 04:47:00 AM

Don’t forget Detective’s can be dumped they are patrolman acting as detectives so technically they can be taken back down to the pay rate most of them deserve back to the patrol car hopefully the new guy from Los Angeles will take care of this and get rid of the nine producers especially the head Melissa staples who has no clue what the hell she’s doing.

Malinowski has big connects with U of I too and other companies he conned for paychecks. He is a used car salesman by nature. He was not chief of detectives very long. Not that it matters to the Groot. Word is she interviewed him already and surprisingly she was not that thrilled. Probably because Malinowski is a better bullshitter than her and she can't compete with that. Although Beck could change her mind about Malinowski over the next few months. Beck sponsored Malinowski from his first day on LAPD. that's his guy. Malinowski has literally no street experience. Always been an inside mover and shaker. He likes the computer technical driven crap that he believes can solve crimes. Yea Beck can feed Malinowski the scoop on how to win Lori over to get the job.


BUT is he able to make Jasper Soft hard? Thats the question.

Was listening to the radio Friday morning and during the 1200 O'clock news report the announcer stated that CPD Chief Barbara West was seen leaving the mayors office. The reporter stated that West is very smart and has the mayor's ear. He went on to say that mayor likes West. He speculated that West could be the next superintendent saying that the fact that she is Female and Black does not hurt her.

Merit hacks are every level to choose from and those same Jeri hacks WILL be chosen for the next level promotions. Those Chicago Values and the Chicago Way will prevent any real changes.

The local papers often check here first for stories, copy
them, get busted then wind up owing the Chaplains big
money. Charlie your first act should be getting the
Chaplain's money back and negotiating a new fee
structure. We figure they're owed at least $10K.

A little off topic, but I am curious, does Eddie's kid have enough time to take the Sergeant's exam because the rumor is that he does not have the time but he's still signed up. Is this a grievance for anyone who just missed the cut off by service time but his kid was able to be put into the test?


Find out the time on job requirement and look up his seniority. Figure it out and if he doesn’t have the time file a grievance. Not hard to do

So for an intrepid reporters or if anyone cares. Johnson denies having any role in the McDonald investigation. He was the a Deputy Chief of the affected Area. I heard he was supposed to be the Street Deputy the night of the shooting but called off as he was drinking. Don’t know if this was true. He did receive a telephonic notification and updates on the incident.

Once the recent drama started he assured the revruns that he was watched the video with Gulliford. There were NO copies of this video in the hands of any exempt and only viewed in the Superintendents conference room. So he rolls out Lewin who shows some computer with nothing on it. Ask McCarthy he will confirm this.

If "nobody saw nuthin" or the state refuses to charge unless there is video, audio, a signed and notarized confession letter and a bus full of nuns who witnessed it how would you go about raising the rate? Truth is that she is one of the few exempts that can actually put together a coherent sentence. Maybe if you were a better detective, not 8 months behind on your gpr's and actually went out and canvassed correctly instead of sitting there bitching all time the clearance rate might climb by one or two. Sorry you got dumped from your cush spot for being useless but maybe you should look in the mirror and stop blaming Staples.

It will be a joy to see a shakeup in the Detective Division. Please start with Staples sir. She’s been sitting around daydreaming for too long. Homicide/ Shooting clearance rates are national embarrassments and she’s afraid to dump the do not supervisors who talk a good game but can’t lead an investigation.

You are delusional my friend. He has ties to the most important string puller, Mayor LL. Do you honestly think Beck will make any decisions on his own. Look at the news. She's been 1 foot away from everywhere he goes so no one is saying anything near the truth to him nor is he able to ask any hard questions. You even heard it here first. I'll bet he stays on. Remember that before he accepted the interim position he told news people in LA that he was n't interested in the proposal, yet here he is. I hope he proves me wrong, but I'll just about bet he will be the biggest puppet of all - after all, LL knows everything there is about being the police. Just ask her.
