What's This BS?

Forced compliance?
  • [Situational Decision Making] is an hour long "training" that the district is making each PO go to during their tour of duty. At the academy, not city/dept required training. It's Univ of Chicago civilians doing it. It is a "shoot-dont shoot" type scenario that you get put in. At the end of it the instructors give the POs a consent form to sign. In order to allow them to use what your decision was in their study. POs have been refusing to sign, and now a Sgt has been coming down to "order" us to sign. This whole thing seems completely wrong , but sadly typical.
How "legit" can this "study" be if (A) you're forced to participate and (B) you're forced to sign off on the results? Is there some federal grant money attached to this with CPD as the guinea pigs?

Anyone know what this is supposed to accomplish, given that the U of Chicago faculty is notoriously "progressive" and decidedly anti law enforcement.

Turn on your body camera and get everyone present including the merit sergeant on tape giving you a order to sign a form under duress and threat of job forfeiture. Then call a high priced attorney and file suit against the City, Police Dept, University of Chicago and personally all the persons involved including the merit sergeant.
Enjoy your new house.

The university would get the grant money and then go out to get subjects. Often the subjects are paid. In this case, I'm sure the city stands in the shoes of the subject and gets the payment. This will then be someone's article in a peer reviewed journal. Wait...conclusion will be that cops are too slow to talk offenders into co- operating and too fast to squeeze their triggers with their racist fingers. Now u don't have to read the article when it comes out!!!

It's a useless "study" since it's easily subject to manipulation and bias because you KNOW you're being tested. There's NO control.

So introduce anomalies into the data, and they'll have to toss the whole thing.

Some ideas:

* First PO through shoots EVERYTHING... The walls, lights, floor, people, criminals, etc...

* Next PO shoots NOTHING... no criminals, no people, nothing.

* Next PO shoots every other thing - no matter what...

Walk out and "sign under protest"...

Figure out who's funding this crapola and let them know of the inherent bias and lack of control...

After a few of these, anomalies this nonsense will come to an end.

ORDER to sign...

DID you notify FOP?

A signature carries legal weight and if you are ordered it would be under duress.
Unless you were compensated by the school separately then the City just used you in an experiment without you knowledge.

OR
you can post a vague topic on a blog

Maybe the invisible institute can put up another database or the fuckers from channel 5 can win another award based on the results of the scenarios.

I'd like them to compare the officers results with those from the civilians that they used to run through the shoot/don't shoot scenarios.

Should an Officer, at some later date be involved in a shooting (OIS), would the result of his/her actions on the day of training be used against the Officer? If there is anything, that every Chicago Police Officer needs to accept it is this: Anything documented by the Chicago Police Department, will be retained in perpetuity! And those records, documentations, etc., may be subpoenaed at a later date. FOP contract, prior assurances; it all means NOTHING! The Chicago Police Department has surrendered its authority to Progressive Democrat Political Operatives, ACLU and their favorite law firms. Rahm and Lisa Madigan via the Consent Decree destroyed any discretion or independence that CPD might have had. This is a documentation, that at a later date could serve as a form of Self-Incrimination. What is the purpose of this? If an Officer performed badly in the Exercise, is he/she given a chance to correct their actions? Or is this just a set-up to prosecute cops at a later date? Be Strong and Be Careful. Baby "G"

In the end they will say the CPD is trigger happy no matter what the numbers are. You could shoot every time or don't shoot every time just to screw with them. Don't shoot might be safer for your career though. At some point this study might be used agents you in court if you are labeled trigger happy. Don't believe them if they tell you different they just like your leadership will screw you over if you don't have clout.

I didn’t go.
It says it’s voluntary, so even if the city makes you go to the location, ask the administrators if it’s voluntary, and if the answer is yes, don’t participate.
How did we become forced to participate in a private study? So a government agency can force you to participate in a private research experiment? Nope, sorry.
On top of that, have you done your homework on the main person conducting the experiment?
Google the name of that “professor” and you’ll see the outcome is already pretty much determined before the “experiment” takes place.

And if you read the fine print, it states that paper results are kept for 10 years and then destroyed, digital copies of your results are kept indefinitely. And the results are to be shared with federal agencies and other agencies interested in the data.
So if 3 years from you you are involved in a shooting, and the G looks at the data from this study and says “according to his/her participation in this study, he/she was proven racist in use of force incidents- so he/she MUST have acted with bias in this shooting.”

Please brothers and sisters, do yourselves a favor and don’t feel compelled to participate.

They give you paperwork saying it’s voluntary- HANG ONTO THAT PAPERWORK.
If you want to participate, go ahead.
If you don’t want to participate, don’t
If some merit initiates a beef, you have paperwork saying it’s voluntary.

As for me? No thanks.

Participate at your own peril. You aren’t being forced to sign anything. You can opt out and once you do you still have to participate in the scenario. The university just won’t be able to watch you or use what you did in their study. Officers are opting out and when the guy next to me said he didn’t want to participate the university tried to convince him to. He still said no but was told he had to do the scenario. You take a survey and don’t sign anything. Don’t trust this university to be honest and when you agree you can bet your decisions will be in their final report.

I hope the FOP wakes up on this one. And also hope someone does indeed record this and then consults an attorney about being ordered to sign.

If they made this study strictly voluntary and did not identify the officers involved, possibly even paid you as a research subject ( which is common), then I say why not? But, identifying the officers, ordering them to participate and ordering them to sign a waiver? Not only do I think that this is unethical, but illegal. No one can order a person to waive their rights. Where is the union? The city can order you as an employee to attend this class, and participate but not sign a waiver.

Retired now. One of the best days I had on the job was telling a lt/wc, "sorry pal, I'm not signing that". He was at loss for words when he realized I knew that I knew I did not have to sign.
Another great moment, filing a grievance against a captain, who also learned that I was not quiet so dumb.I went through all the proper steps, had kept the paperwork necessary, faxed daily, attempted the in district chit chat to no avail. It finally ended up back on the captains desk with my win and a note from above saying that he was "silly" for allowing it to get that far. (the desk sgt gave me copy.)

The study needs to be approved by an IRB (institutional research board) at UC if human subjects are involved. Informed, voluntary consent of participants is required. This likely violates the IRB agreement and could get UC in hot water with the feds and whoever is funding the study, which could cost UC money. Universities care about money. Someone needs to complain to the UC VP of research.

This scenario they put you in, is it a video? I don't think a bad guy in a video poses any danger to the PO watching it. So, the PO in this situation should not fire on the defenseless video screen. Just say, "Sorry but I never felt in danger".

You're in a brightly lit room, watching tv with a bunch of egghead snowflakes. Do they allow you to even bring your gun to this "training". Without your gun, it quite possible that the correct response to being threatened would be to run take cover. It wouldn't take much effort to make a mockery of the entire exercise.

I'm willing to take a stand and say "Sure sarge, I'll sign under protest, what's your name & badge#, I need the names of everyone presenting this document to me please...You'll be hearing from my attorney."

From the U of C website:

For questions, concerns, or suggestions about human subjects research, or for questions about the rights of research participants, please contact the Social & Behavioral Sciences (SBS) IRB Office. Both contacts below provide a way for research participants, potential research participants, or members of the community to contact someone in the organization other than the research team.

Phone: 773-702-2915
Email: sbs-irb@uchicago.edu

I urge everyone who feels pressured to sign a consent form to call or email the IRB. Even one complaint will trigger an investigation and multiple complaints could result in the project being shut down.

If there is any federal grant money involved the Code of Federal Regulations require that the study by approved by an institutional review board (IRB). The regulations forbid coercion. you must read and sign an informed consent form before participating in the study, and any questions you have must be answered to your satisfaction before signing and agreeing to participate. Put the lawyers on them.

Not an attorney just a sgt with almost 30 years. I would never order anyone to sign a non-department form because I don’t believe I have the authority to do so. We need a solid legal opinion on this so you can be confident saying “no thank you.”
You signed in to the class on the official department training sign-in sheet and that’s it. (Name, pc#, emp#, etc, then all the way on the right we sign).
You can be ordered to participate in department training even if it’s conducted by some one else but that is a far cry from having to sign a form that implies you give permission for something unless you choose to give that permission.
Also, whatever “participate” means is up to you. As some have suggested you can shoot everyone or no one, what does it matter, it’s training and if you fuck up that’s what training is for. If they say you fucked up have them show you how it’s done. Otherwise if they said you fucked up and didn’t show you the “correct” way to handle it then it’s their issue.
More likely they are just trying to intimidate officers to sign.

Of course there’s alway a Fed grant tied to these studies, but UofC could be doing it on behalf of someone’s who’s connected to boost their thesis, which shouldn’t matter because they draw the bulk of their opinion, arguments and conclusions from Dem pols, trends and social media.

What to do, what to do.
When confronted with the everyday barrage of lawlessness and dealing with Sanctuary City tolerated violent ghetto affairs (i.e. dilemmas of situation decision making), just axe’ yourself... Should I stay or should I go?

Trust the City, the Dept of LightLoafer....ooooooh for sure.
This is another psychological assessment profile they’re developing.
Are they training you with their logic on Shoot-Dont Shoot? Giving their opinions and solutions?
What material is being provided? Are you allowed to keep a handout, copy anything?
Cellphones confiscated (yet)?
Must be mighty secret and important to have to send in a Merit Hack to keep order.

Just answer their scenario(s) as completely opposite of your true, logical decisions.
Up is down, left is right.
Even if you truly believe in leprechauns, the earth is flat, cow farts are bad and Epstein hanged himself...go with the opposite.
And...
Like your giving your real phone number or email to department stores for baloney reward programs...NEVER provide personal info to a liberal non governmental organization....NEVER.
Always alter that public accessible signature/identifiers too - so it can be challenged on some Democrats nominating petition later.

Screw with these egghead provocateurs working on behalf of Team LightLoafer.

shooting someone in this "game."

I would call FOP if told to sign anything.
As a last resort I would write In the signature line "under duress...see to from report."
The to from would be like the universal disclaimer:
"Under duress . I object to this test and object to its use and results.
I sign only because I have been giver a direct order by
Sgt name # and know I will loose my job if I disobey a direct order."

Also I want a copy of everything.

Since this is a university study using human subjects, it has to be approved and monitored by the university’s Institutional Review Board (IRB). It is ABSOLUTELY forbidden by the Neuremberg Laws to coerce a study subject to sign the consent.

If any officer has been pressured by their supervisor to sign the consent for this study, they should report that to the university’s IRB (should be listed in their website or call the main number) and file a complaint. Stuff like this gets entire universities barred from federal research money.

If order by the SGT or above Sign (if you choose) but add next to signature "forced, ordered, bullied, or under duress, or similar comment by "SGT Shitz". You could just not sign - unlawful order. Use body cam identifying all concerned, state your under duress. Are there rules and regs or directives, that specifically mandate training study and signatures. Why mandated signatures for this University of Chicago Lab "study". Will your specific study be linked to you. Will results be published, if so, will we get results of our participation. Does/will the university profit from our participation. Will results of participation be used against you in admin/court proceedings. You already know the answer to that one. Will all Department personnel - from PPO to Superintendent (if packing) be required.

In other words all personnel with guns including Staff Mutts, Dicks, the Imps security detail, everyone sworn and carrying including all those with sworn political fucks like Burke and the rest of the slugs. If you have a gun and you shoot somebody the city is liable for your actions. Take the study and sign the paper numb nuts.

Purposely conduct all participation by doing nothing - take no action, delay any actions during each situation, document test with camera, make the study in any way useless. Also a big Fuck You to Beck, Malinowski, the FOP and the University of Chicago. We don't trust you.

Study for an upcoming class, what class? Is the U or Chicago doing that too? But why would someone be ordered to sign a consent form? This I don't get. Ordered to sign? Why such a big deal. And could such a thing be pulled and used against an officer down the road referencing the shoot don't shoot scenarios? I wouldn't doubt it one bit. You can't blame people for being a bit paranoid over everything these days. The U of Chicago are not our friends, nor are the merits in charge of this leaky ship. Beck and his pick for new puppet sup (Mr. U of C Lab Rat) are certainly not friends either. Of course Groot and her new community civilian police body want to sink the ship altogether.

The pre and post survey is optional. The questions (strongly agree/disagree type) on them weren't of any significance in my opinion and definitely not of the nature to be used against us. And if you do the survey it's relatively short (couple minutes) and you don't sign anything nor does anyone force you to.

Talked politics once. He self- identified as "Way further Left than Bernie" His exact words. Blew my mind. I had a problem with their involvement in influencing CPD patterns & practices from that point on. Through conversations, he had Plenty of ideas on how CPD should be changed and the bosses involved were "all ears". Good guy overall, but those philosophical views are inconsistent and dangerous with what the police dept. policies need to be. Also, Didn't have any other job, the grant money apparently funded his lincoln park apartment, among other things. Kept my distance from him and the program. As others say, they are not our friends.
