Groot Wants Complete Control
- Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s plan to fill the missing link in police reform hit a snag Tuesday, just days after the civilian police review ordinance was hailed as a great compromise.
The 11th-hour disagreement between the Lightfoot administration and the Grassroots Alliance for Police Accountability was over who would have the final say on establishing police policy whenever there is a disagreement between the civilian oversight board and the Chicago Police Department.
The mayor’s version makes her the final arbiter in policy-making disputes even though she would have to explain in writing why she disagrees with the commission. GAPA is insisting that the seven-member civilian oversight board be empowered to impose its will on policy, even when the CPD and the mayor disagree.
Ald. Chris Taliaferro (29th), the former Chicago police officer now chairing the City Council’s Committee on Public Safety, sided with the community groups.
As a number of readers pointed out, it is the height of hypocrisy for Taliaferro to support this group seeing as how he was one of the worst offending sergeants for demanding numbers from officers in predominantly minority areas. "You better not come in with zeros!" was a common directive before he disappeared during his tour, only to reappear at check-off.
Groot (wisely) does not want to cede control to a group of people driven by hatred of the police and pretty much zero knowledge of policy, procedure or law. Someone is obviously whispering to her that this would kill what little is left of the department.

FOP should get completely out of the endorsement business.
Taliaferro ( aka Professor Crump) never did any police work. All he did as a Sargeant was supervise PPO'S on the North Avenue van in 025 while talking about " sucking on titties". Complete POS sell out.
I retired this year, you know what I miss? Nothing.
I doubt you will do any better with Groot in control. Once this gets going it will be illegal to arrest any member of "da community" yet they will still have most cops stationed there. Somehow you are supposed to keep peoples and folks from killing each other but you can't defend yourself,arrest them, talk to them or look at them in a way they find displeasing.
I say it is time to put the whole "black/brown neighborhoods are over policed" theory to the test with some serious de-policing. Put the cops in white neighborhoods and see if they really do have the same number of murders, rapes, carjackings and open air drug markets. Community leaders have been stating this as fact for years. I don't know why white people haven't been calling the cops all these years or where they have been hiding the bodies. I am sure the answer has something to do with "institutional racism".
Groot and the GAPA ghouls abandoning all pretext
of collaboration in regard to the ongoing fictional
narrative of "Police Reform" and now got their backs
up at each other?
"HISSSSS!"
"Meee-YOOOWL!"
>Scratch! Piss! Bite! Shit! Claw! Flying Fur!<
This promises to be all kinds of funny...
Fuck these fools...
As long as they manage to only hurt each other,
no fucks given about how much skin they tear
off each other's asses to prove who has more
animus toward Policemen.
"Police Reform" is just full of unintended consequences.
No?
Give these lunatics NOTHING to hurt you,
your families and co-workers with.
Look.

Retired city workers say they’re suffering after losing health insurance! (a pretty good account)
The young moron's that are playing police in order to grow a beard, wear jeans and look cool in that backwards baseball hat deserve whatever shit comes their way... times are not even close to what they were only 10yrs ago.
"Someone is obviously whispering to her that this would kill what little is left of the department."
SCC, you keep saying this over and over. You're wasting your time, brother. Nothing will stop the hard chargers, not even lawsuits, prison, divorces, nothing, it'll always continue. Just open another bag of popcorn and enjoy the show. Jamal Green on the panel deciding your faith. It will happen.
Hopefully she comes to her senses. She probably sees how this would not be good for her.
What about the contract are these miscreants contract law experts too the whole thing is so utterly ridiculous its funny
Taliaferro is a ___________ .
There aren’t too many wrong answers here.
As expected FOP is A-ok 👌🏼 with this BS
Chris Taliaferro is a typical sell-out, self-interested
"Lawyer-visor" who is actively trying to whore himself
out to latch onto a judgeship if we read the winds correctly.
Taliaferro has been jumped in with the Democratic
National Committee as an Illinois 5th District
delegate for Joe "Sudden Onset Senility" Biden.
Maybe ol' Chris is acting in concert with the
Police-Haters at GAPA because he's piqued and
vexed over hitching his wagon to the wrong star.
>Pffft!<
He was never any kind of a Policeman anyway
and it shows.
Look.
Point & Laugh.
Leave.
Can I specify the age that my tenants must be? So how can this organization specify 18-24 years old? For it's members? Can I self identify as a 24 year old?
Taliaferro AKA Blancy as known in the 25th district is a disgrace to say the least. Some would wonder given his size and not to make fun of him for that specifically, how he could ever even do his job. The hypocrisy of a guy who scammed the city and the public by doing his mediocre legal work while at work and in uniform. I believe they call that double dipping, maybe the IG could contact all of his ex CPD clients and see if they’re willing to TALK. I have a feeling some would just to see this POS silenced.
Can you just imagine the shit-show?
Two 18-24 year old “activists” on the board?
The whole thing is asinine.
Absolutely bizarre.
I can’t wait to leave.
Hey better her than them. When things go bag and they will she will side with you since she wants to be reelected. They will never side with you for any reason. Netter bring in zeroes because that is what they want. Fetal policing is the order of the day.
Yeh, they endorsed this jagoff Talaferro but not a Policeman shot on the job, OToole.
POS sergeant!
POS aldercreature!
POS is a SJW on the city’s dime.
"Groot wants complete control."
What does she think she is, my mother-n-law?????
SCC off topic tip. State Senator Bill Cunningham (Tom Darts BFF) is quietky introducing bill to furthur raise gas tax after it doubled last year. Crude dropped to 33 per barrell and Indiana is almost under 2 bucks while were still 250 gallon. This POS Cunningham represents 19th ward. Like Rahm said never let a crises go to waste. Scumbag democrats!
We are very close to anarchy in Chicago.
The citizens soon will beg to trade their rights for a promise of safety and stability..... total control.
No clue why they did in the first place. Has anyone read or listened to his interviews? Speaks volumes of who he is.
These bunch of idiots can't make a decision to save their lives because, well, they are a bunch of idiots. Bug eyes wants to be the lead kazoo player in the band of morons.
400 shot and almost 100 dead it's working well
I can’t believe that anyone is still proactive in this city. The police have become villains for simply doing their job. I look forward to a hot summer where 12 dead and 60 injured is the norm every weekend. Remember that this is the department the left wanted. Let’s how long before they start screaming for the police to do their job and stop the violence . Not to mention no contract in nearly 3 years equals no activity as far as I’m concerned.
Hopefully she listen
Fucking traitor!
The People's Dictator Keep Voting Democrat
Let's not forget that as Dem committeeman(person) of the 29th ward, Taliaferro threw in with cop haters ex-alderasshole Arena & Rob Martwick in selecting Martwick for the vacant 10th district State Senate seat.
Martwick is running for a full term. Pull a Dem primary ballot and vote him out.
"Grassroots Alliance for Police Accountability"
Those roots (Soros or other leftist funded plastic roots I'd bet) must be smoking that grass insofar as they think they have any insight to what police accountability and what that should entail.

—-Completely agree with you. If this Grassroots group really believes in what it’s saying, then they should get behind it totally. There are plenty of members of the community in those neighborhoods with the most police service that believe they don’t need policing of any kind in their neighborhood. So, give those communities what they want. Idiotic white people who have no real experience in what it’s like in certain communities & buy into that bullshit rhetoric should follow the lead and go live there while that social policy is implemented. Let’s see how fast their belief system changes. It’s as simple as what it really is, people not being accountable for their own actions (having children when not capable of raising, choosing violence as a means of problem solving, not getting a job, any job to find self-worth, not utilizing social assistance in the way it should be intended (short term, not generational), raising the children you have (not leaving it up to baby’s momma or baby’s momma momma), holding your own children accountable (curfews, attending school, performing at school, consequences for behavior (not child abuse or neglect and calling that discipline), not just speaking out about violence in your community to complain when the cameras are rolling but backing it up by coming together as a community and protect witnesses of crime who come forward). Violence ridden communities should be put under a Federal Mandated Consent Decree and the Alderman, community leaders and Mayor (not police) should be held accountable for a failure to reduce crime/comply.
What if policy goes against state law or the contract? You know that's coming.

It wait, he is one of us!!!!!!! What do the north side Republicans, aka closet democrats have to say about all this? They are the ones all up in arms over OToole not getting a full FOP endorsements. OToole who is a democrat.
This is why just because you are a police officer shouldn’t automatically earn your stamp of approval for anything. They are multiple factors that go into why on should or should not endorse someone just cause you’re a police officer.
Nice work FOP assholes. You bunch have got to be the biggest bunch of losers. Dump FOP now!
FOP never learns about not endorsing candidates for any office, this goes for the FOP in the burbs, state, etc
I forgot again. Sorry.
Just what is the cause of all the violence in the city again?
Asking for almost 3 million fellow Chicago residents
In the academy with this guy, Chris has a side about him that we couldn’t figure out, if we knew then what we know now, we wouldn’t of helped your fat ass get through.
Are criminal background checks being conducted on these “board members”,Doubt it.
That little Napolean mayor would never give up such control of CPD. Probably why Ziman is one of the front runners for Supe. Groot will have total control over her too.

I have heard Preckwinkle say this exact same thing at fund raising dinners.
Bill Cunningham and Tom Dart started Rocket Docket legislation in 2010, the first so called reform that flooded the streets with thousands of criminals. Wonder what donor or lobbyist is pushing Cunningham to increase the gas tax. Then the stupid Cook County democrats will blame Trump for high gas prices not realizing a buck gallon is a Tax.
Another self serving asshole on the list of self serving assholes.

I can't believe they would endorse this pos. That alone is enough reason to vote for new leadership for president of the FOP.
Groot will walk that fine line trying not to piss off the upstanding members of this radical organization while still trying to maintain complete control over everything. Should be fun to watch her squirm as she tries desperately not to offend her voting base. Indeed one can expect Eddie's friend Jamal to be on the board. Remember he was seeking financial help to build a center for something or other, have to wonder where all that money went. He's as dumb and arrogant as Wheezie, he should go far.
Phil, Just put on a dress and say you identify as a 24 year old trans. The progressive crowd will cheer. Be sure and wear a rainbow flag pin and a BLM t-shirt. Groot will hire you as a bodyguard to scare away normal people.
Anyone that does anymore than they have to do is absolutely out of their mind, completely brain dead. Still you will see some that are just too dense to see the writing on the wall. Don't let them drag you into anything.
Were is my ppe training and equipment. If I arrest anyone with corona virus and find out days later, do they shut down the district? Everyone who rode in that squad is infected all shifts. Any assist units infected.

1952 London had a killer smog. QE 2 wanted the pm, Churchill, gone. He said it's fog. It will go away in 4 days. It did. They planned the clean air act so it didn't happen again. Yes people died but how many have died in the US from fatal accidents this year?
I just read the alder assholes comments in the Sun Times.
To which I give a hearty Fuck You Chris!
I agree that FOP should not endorse anybody. This is precisely the reason that FOP should not blindly endorse the police or former police!!

She is creating more command staff positions to bankrupt pension fund . Eliminate all command positions by having Lieutenant rank run them with a year,y bonus , depending on performance . No need for changes in pension laws .
Where is JB spending that huge gasoline tax , roads are still terrible in Illinois .
KK from 016 just wont stop on Facebook. You lost man, give it up. You’re stuck on a beat car. Even if JCAT wins he’s not bringing you inside like you want.

I was pleasantly surprised and happy this got tabled. GAPA was pushing for it to make it through the PS Committee so that it can go to the full council for vote on the 18th. Their intentions were to have it pushed through and then they can organize to have their friends set up for the election process in November. There are many ?'s regarding this....in addition to policy....we don't need additional elected politicians. Each District would have 3 new "elected officials" w/o any way to assure broad representation. They are being added to all Districts DACs (District Advisory Committees). Some districts have very active ones, some are struggling....all volunteers are doing it out of their passions to help their communities. These 3 positions will be PAID a stipend....more money the city should not have to pay. If people believe the reasoning behind these 66 new positions, they should be willing to do what all of us other citizen volunteers have done....do it for free. The city and citizens should not have to come up w/ additional funding for additional elections. Regarding policy input, the city could post all policy drafts as they are being flushed out, could have them posted on line for review and feedback by these organizations. BTW, these organizations seeking to provide input and guidance on behalf of all citizens of Chicago, do not represent, nor have they held community input meetings for ALL citizens in Chicago.....only a small portion. GAPA needs to go.....or at minimum, this proposed ordinance needs to be placed on the back burner for some serious revamping. Thank you to the Alderman for hitting the pause button on this!
Will the Pride Parade be cancelled or bulls / hawk games be cancelled ? Or the election be cancelled? Why the Irish parade ?
She cancelled all of the parades this weekend. Any bets on whether or not she cancels the Pride parade in June? The Wuhan Flu will still be around then!!
O.T Why did Sgt. V leave 3rd Watch to go to days? Did he get tired of Sgt L & Sgt A paranoia and tantrums. Can’t blame him
for leaving. Now he will be at peace and work along some awesome Sgt’s on days. Good for Sgt. V. Please stay away from these 2 they will give you a bad name and reputation. Peace Out!
You just don’t get it. SHE HAS COMPLETE CONTROL NOW. End of story your all just puppets on her string. Wh is that so hard for you all to see? Your belong to her lock stock and barrel. You only choice is to ask how high.
Off Subject WHERE are Patrick Murray and Martin Preib??? They are still invisible at FOP. They were great BS about all the work they did for FOP. We are lucky they are gone $$$$$$$
The Angry Bigmouth Yosemite Larri LightLoafer just wants it her way.
Made big promises to GAPA for votes. She’s going to bend and give in to GAPA with seat at the el'COPA judgement table and give them a large budget to keep the narrative going.
LightLoafer and her groups will continue to vilify the police as they always do, cater to them and make herself the reformer.
There’s also the suspicion that there’s still outside influences controlling CityHall too.
Make some noise.
Tellatubio is another snake altogether just prodding around looking for a State office appointment.
Now go out there and make arrests. This department will never learn to stick together.
Lightfoot bushwhacked the police and fire into voting g for her while she has this hatred towards white folks. She wants to give the city to the black community who clearly are using her to get everything for free. She wants more black owned businesses at the airports which is already there with Mr.Higginbottom having many places. She wants more mom& Pop places there but it will turn into Madison St. Fat Ass Talliferro wants tobe Mayor someday. This fat fuck is a two faced idiot.

Kissing ghetto ass to move up the political food chain, and sacrificing the entire cpd to get there. What a piece of shit. Hey Taliaferro, remember what happened to Arena.
If they form this Restorative justice committee, then the contract talks have to include greater protections for the members of cpd. We can't strike, but we can use discretion during all revenue generating activity.
Smith, Marshal Smith. Are you out there? Please talk some sense to Larry before it's too late. Obviously she trusts you and your judgement. You were never a policeman to the best of my knowledge. JG to Deputy US Marshal, but you've been around a long time, and haven't gotten where you are by being stupid. Do the right thing.
So who will be these "elected" representatives from the 22 police districts when this this happens? Because it looks like it will happen. How much more f&@$in oversight do they want. GPS bwc, ICC, GPS vehicles, mics, COPA cabana, IAD, police board, IG (Fergy), the mayor etc..they might as well just create robots. Maybe they should create this type of oversight for politicians.
I though anybody that was an officer should get vote from us?
ISNT that what everybody wanted up North?
I thought all Alderman who were in patrol at one time would never betray there brother in blue.
Sometimes we need to think at a higher lever than high school prom king.
And actually vote
Its not even bad yet!!!
Once again hard chargers, the SJW activists are speaking loud and clear! Answer calls, back each other up, drop paper and arrest only on signed complaints where the insistence on arrest and signature is on BWC. This was your learning lesson of the day. Not adhering to this policy will result in mouth breathing, entitlement leaching loudmouths to demand your head on a platter with your assets in their pocket. That is all.
Per the Tribune coverage today. GAPA is made up of 13 community groups. This certainly isn't a representative sample of the city. When and where did they hold these hundreds of meetings to see what people thought?
So Kevin Graham has offered Field Rep spots to Ag-u-liar, DiMaria, Donahue, Peter White, Bartlett, Garza, Julie Joyce, Preib, McGuire, Murray, Tamlo and liar Casiano.
Two problems:
1st there are not that many positions. Who is he lying to?
2nd not one of them would be approved by the new board.
Time to Retire, you big Dummy!
The guys on afternoons used to call him Sgt. "Tons of Fun".
Lightfoot is a JOKE!!!!
is it true that the MAYOR wants to stop benefits to new hires? This city and state are going right down hill each and every day , I know lets remove a toilet cant buy troilite paper anyway
Tallaferro destroyed this department like he destroys carbohydrates. A total slob and useless.
Short folks make bad, indecisive, angry mayors.
LightLoafer is like the sour activist boar Napoleon from Animal Farm. All promises of betterment, freebies, handouts, amass a support base to do the grunt work and then quickly changed her tune. Combine that sycophant personality to that of Syd Phillips character from Pixar’s Toy Story.
A real character we elected and her nutty constituents will forget how they were ignored in 3-1/2 years.
This should go to arbitration, if it can be greived.
Chris Taliaferro has many sides. :)
Annnnndd... I just saw JCATs latest video at a cemetery. Whoa. This guy is a few bricks short of a wall. I’ll retract my vote. Thank god for runoffs and another chance to vote. After seeing the video of rambling and his latest Facebook arguments which make zero sense not a chance.
Vri’s on the Move to 35 Michigan for now getting the boot from Harrison and Kedzie
There is not a full time municipal job in the country, especially police departments that do not get some kind of benefits...where do you get this stuff...remember last year when someone said the mayor wanted to give us a pay cut
.how did that work out.i know we have not settled our contract but we will receive at least a 2 percent per year raise, hopefully mote

Chicago Police pension is about to run out of money.
So Kevin Graham has offered Field Rep spots to Ag-u-liar, DiMaria, Donahue, Peter White, Bartlett, Garza, Julie Joyce, Preib, McGuire, Murray, Tamlo and liar Casiano.
Peter white is a clown anyone who has his partner film himself giving a pair of shoes to a homeless person and post it to social media is a goof
Yes you hit the nail on the head. Graham needs to get rid of white he is ruining his chances of fop president
Looks like our favorite bike guy went to Chris's Facebook page and called him out on his hypocrisy.
Voted for J Cat even though he backed O’toole which was a mistake and now he brings cantors back after he lost. No thx he’s either a complete goof or a terrible judge of character. Going with Graham!
I can’t wait to lateral out. Goodbye bullshit
Rumor of the day is Taliaferro is heavy...
Chris Taliaferro would stay in the basement of the 025th district after PPO roll call for North Ave detail and then would not be seen again by the Officers he was supposed to be supervising, who happened to also be brand new to the job, till the end of the tour. This guy ghosted each shift and now he’s championing accountability!?!? What a joke...

It is a real serious problem. Fund was hurting even with high stock returns and higher bond returns. This year our investment portfolio will probably lose money instead of returning an in investment of at least 8 to 10%. Huge part of supporting the fund

You only lose if you sell when its low. "Don't panic" applies to intergalactic hitch-hikers and us. By the way, everything that dropped last week and early this week is rebounding. Defered Comp went back up 12K yesterday. Its still down and the markets are skittish, but unless your retiring soon, it'll be back. Now's the time to buy in certain sectors if you have the reserves.

Now is NOT the time to buy !!!! Market has not fully corrected and with the virus and all the closings the economy will continue to drop. Think about the investors who thought at the end of February “now is the time to buy”. They watched the investments drop even further in March and lost their ass. No signs the market with rise or be able to sustain a comeback
The DOW was down 8.2% today and the S & P 500 over 7%. Was so bad they had to halt trading today to stop the free fall
So if you put new money in yesterday you lost 8 already on the new money plus 8% on the other deferred money. There is nothing right now or any good news to trigger an upswing in the market

Terrible advice. Below spells it out better. This was from like a week ago. DOW now is at 21,500 a drop of 2000. So if you bought after the February drop you just took a hosing. Time to sit back and let this market play out before investing more. This time going to change in a few days or weeks. NBA, March Madness, airlines , cruises cancelled conventions That lose won’t show up for months
The heavy selling began in Asian markets late Sunday, spread throughout Europe on Monday and sent prices plunging on everything from bank stocks and oil futures to U.S. Treasurys.
Monday's rout added to recent losses and left the broader stock market down nearly 20% – almost bear territory – from its high in mid-February.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 2,013.76 points, or 7.8%, to close at 23,851.02 on Monday – its worst one-day percentage drop since October 2008. That left the blue-chip average down 19% from its all-time high just three weeks ago. The Standard & Poor’s 500 fell 225.81 points, or 7.6%, to end at 2,746.56, its biggest one-day percentage decline since December 2008. The broad index, which is used as a benchmark for mutual
