Another "Merit" Scandal?

  • Harvey police Chief Eddie Winters told CBS 2 Thursday night that the mayor placed him on administrative leave.

    Winters said Mayor Christopher Clark informed him of the move by personal email. He called the move “totally unexpected,” and said does not want to reveal reasons the mayor gave for it.

    Harvey Ald. Dominique Randle-EL said the mayor plans to discuss the reason for placing Winters on leave at a Monday Harvey City Council meeting.
Winters was a multiple "merit" here in Chicago before leaving a year or so after his car was shot up in 012 while he was headed home from a still unrevealed rendezvous, and now he might be out of another job.

OT: “She’s not talking about it publicly,” St. Louis Police Officers Association (SLPOA) President Jeff Roorda said. “She’s lying about it publicly.”

Maybe Eddie's ride was lit on fire for a reason?

Jim Croce waxed eloquent about messing
with the wife of a jealous man...

"Well the two men took to fighting
And when they pulled them off the floor,
Leroy looked like a jigsaw puzzle
With a couple of pieces gone..."

But the funny thing is Eddie tried to
lay low and hit a lick in "HAARRR-VEY?"
of all places?

The comedy writes itself...

Eddie was a piece of shit here and continued being who he is in Harvey. I will guarantee that whatever he got shit canned for, he has been getting away with it his entire career in cpd.

Eddie Winters is Eddie Johnson Jr.
That mold is still in use!
Ya think Roderick could talk some sense into this guy?
After all, he's got Federal Credentials now. Hey, I heard
the graduation party at Chuck-E-Cheese was a real blast.
Streamers, smoke grenades, and even a guy in a bomb suit
showed up to wish them well.

Now that’s pretty bad when you can’t make it in Harvey. I don’t think there’s anything left after that.

In theory it wouldn't be nice to leave the Chicago Police Department for a Chief position in a local P.D . However, you should always max out your pension before you leave the Chicago Police Department in the event something like this happens. The Harvey police department has a history of systemic corruption and that should have Wade heavily in Eddie Winters decision to leave the department with 25 years on to pursue the Chiefs position in Harvey.

Hopefully E.W. will bounce back quickly.

It appears the rank and file strongly supported him in Harvey. Blaming him for the homicides there would be like blaming the commanders of 007 and 011. Some things about the hood are unfixable.

Another Eddie painting the town?
The FakeNews won’t bother to name his sponsors (or the grift) but had to add “former CPD”.
Someone has to be put into these suburban spots and depending, it’s apparent they don’t do much background checking, just pass those fat envelopes.

So he gets a Notification by email?
That’s cold doe.
But at least he didn’t show up to find he was locked out.

I once got dumped for (no reason) from a M-F DOG S/S inside spot without notice.
Showed up on time at my non-roll call spot as usual on Monday after RDO.
Got a ‘WhereYou At’ call after 1030 from the Sgt.
I sez, “I’m at my spot, Sarge”.
Sgt sez your spot is Beat XXXX and you ain’t here.
Apparently neither lard ass WC or the lard ass watch secretariat told me of this abrupt change of plans to accommodate another, more better dollie who could not for any reason work a Beat car.
My only complaint was that I needed the upcoming weekend off and had to burn 8.5 Comp hours for the Sunday off.

So maybe they just found a better fit for Winters spot, someone that’s more pleasingly conducive to the needs...of the town.
Soon as he starts singing, things will get interesting but not surprising...for Harvey.

As for Harvey, it hasn’t been the same since Dreesen left.
Guess they could blame him.

Nice try Eddie. Once a scumbag, always a scumbag. How many open cases were against you in IAD before you quietly slithered out the door? What really happened when you were "randomly" fired upon off duty in 012 that night? How did your gun disappear like that? Who was that girl? How many open sexual harassment beefs did you leave behind in IAD's file cabinets? Maybe your past finally caught up to you and even HARVEY didn't want to put up with the headaches and PR nightmare that came along with your tenure. Also, how did violent crime rates manage to go UP in Harvey since you implemented all of your brilliant (knock-off) ideas? I have more questions than answers. P.S. You're also the ONLY one who thought the mayor's decision to dump you was "totally unexpected".

So wrong you are. You should do exactly the opposite. Do 20 years. Lock in your pension and move on. I did 20 and left at age 49 with a 6 year old daughter. I still laugh at all the coppers with the "I can't go. I've got a kid in college." Crap. Jeez Louise. Start a 529 program for your kids after birth.

I own my own business and it's now pulling in over $1M annually. I've gotten busier because now I devote all my time to it.

Guys and gals do yourself a favor and start a business. Do 20 years and go.

I didn't waste time taking promotional exams. I invested in myself.

Eddie Winters could get away with all of that because he was an elected official, protected by most of the west side political elites( except for that pig Jason Ervin who hated him),
and by Steve "The Stunner "Caluris, who protected him with a good inside job at CPIC where he didn't have to dirty his hands with real sergeants or patrol work.

AMEN!! Couldn't have said it better myself! Running a family business myself (would love to be bringing in a million!!) and can't wait to retire asap. This job has become a liability, trying to avoid being the next headline. So many coppers make this job their only priority and it can be taken away, messed with, so easily. Good luck with your continuing business success and I hope to join you someday! The dept and city can keep this nightmare. One thing I learned is you cant be happy on this job if you're an independent thinker. They want koolaid drinkers who just say "yes sir" Out as soon as feasible.

To clarify slowtenant EW was in fact not an elected official, he was hand picked, primarily because he was a black CPD sgt and resident of Illinois district 10 and an acquaintance of old man Bob Fioretti. He was appointed because good ole Derrick Smith was expelled then convicted of bribery... you can't make this stuff up! Poor EW got a little confidence boost from keeping the 10th district seat warm for a measly 3 months or so, attempted to get elected but failed miserably. Caluris may have been a connect of EW but EW managed to get canned from cpic for 001, not bad for being a fuck up!

Most westside political elite hacks despise EW not because he's a threat but because he's a moron who leads meetings with constituents into the twilight zone. In May 2019 (prior to the Harvey gig) EW attempted once again to obtain that Illinois house of reps 10th district seat after Mrs. Ervin left to become city Treasurer. Why was he sidelined? Oh never mind it's a new era and Burnett's son got the seat. And why did he want this $60k/ yr gig? EW was desperately looking for a way out of his 011 house mouse assignment where he pissed off a lot of possibly wrong people.. UChicago consultants, Malinowski, donors, civilian employees, coppers... possibilities are endless!

Also, good ole Bob Fioretti hooked up EW with the nice Harvey gig. Fioretti does business with Harvey as an attorney consultant, I'm sure he put in the good word for him. Maybe EW will bounce back when Bob takes Foxx's seat. Other than that chances are EW is shit out of luck in 2020!

I hope the poster at 7:03pm is joking about Goofioretti taking Kim’s spot. He only runs to raise money and suck up to the cop haters and crooks at PUSH. He also taught phony lazy ass Winters not to pay campaign workers too. Anything Goofioretti does turns to shit.

Nice try. You've gotten your comment posted twice, but it's still bullshit! If you think this is the reason for his firing, you're clueless. He's a snake and always has been. Too big a snake for even HARVEY!! He is getting exactly what he deserves.

Winters didn't go along with the Harvey way of life! You see, this how it works whenever a drug bust takes place and say for a estimate of a little over six figures is the total the Mayor is to ASKED if the bust can stick. That way his family and side pieces relatives can be spared and the money divided with the drugs recycled! Then comes the promoting of the Mayor's people that MUST be done! Period

Remember EW caught a popular female news anchor inside a Westside crackhouse the same one the rich white heiress was caught in? Anybody remember? Happened in the 90s. EW took the news anchor to get cleaned up and she was off the air for a few months hush up style. Damn, Ch.7 sure has compassion for crackhead even those that go for dickhead too if ya know what I mean wink 😉. Hosea + Burns= Hype Bill 07
