Piss Poor Planning

As has been pointed out here and elsewhere, the Department is failing to address even the most basic of concerns, including educating the public about the unique challenges faced by the police.

At training recently, we used:
  • the same dry erase boards, markers and eraser rags
  • blue training pistols, training OC, cuffs and batons
  • safety glasses - worn on faces over the eyes
At no time were we offered wipes or sanitizer to clean these items and they were placed in the same bins to be distributed to the next class without being cleaned.

In the Districts, we use:
  • radios from the previous watches, carried in close proximity to faces
  • Department phones - again, used near your face
  • Tasers (and rifles) from the previous watch
  • squad cars and squadrols - among the filthiest contraptions on four wheels
And for this, Districts were given a couple of boxes of rubber gloves and perhaps two dozen PPE suits dating back to last century and carried in sergeants cars. There are no wipes in the radio room to clean anything. Some wise officers buy their own out of an abundance of caution.

We're told by some people in-the-know that the brass is completely at sea - "merit" has doomed the Department to inaction. The consensus is that there is no plan. They cannot even agree on closing the Academy because they don't want to put 450 recruits in a no-pay status and they don't want the liability of sending them to Districts to help the desks or front offices because the rumor of COVID-19 being at the Academy seems true, and they are terrified of infecting a District with recruits to the point that they'd have to shut it down.

They don't even know what to do with the recent promotees...who ALL might be infected right now.

The biggest concern at roll call today was swiping compliance. Everything that’s going on in the World right now and you’re worried that we’re not all repeatedly touching the same machine (which has never been cleaned to my knowledge) and swipe our ID cards through there? Also, it’s allegedly on us to run around the District in between jobs to remind businesses of their capacity and check on grocery stores to make sure there’s no apocalypse hoarding brawls?! Not on word on our safety aside from wash your hands. Yeah, no duh, thanks.

For answers to your concerns go to:

US Center for Disease Control (cdc.gov) and check out the protocol when dealing with the Coronavirus-19. Go to Interim Guidance For EMS, in which it states “INCLUDES ALL FIRST RESPONDERS INCLUDING LAW ENFORCEMENT.” Updated 10 Mar 20. Hold the City and the Department to these protocols.

This one is easy to figure out. The dept, along with City Hall, are going to keep ANY possibility of a sick PO hush-hush because they know that dozens, of not hundreds, of smart dept members will hit the medical immediately. And putting us all in uniform to be ready to mobilize to stop a west side liquor store or a 79th Street “food store” from being looted?? Good luck with that! “Feeling kinda out of it boss, think I’ll hit the medical to avoid getting anyone else sick.” A federal agency instructing people to avoid crowds and to keep a six foot distance from others kinda overrides this dept’s need for me to police a riot.

This is why Lightfoot didn’t want to close the schools. She knows that the savages don’t know how to behave outside of class. Add to the mix a very possible city shutdown, chaos. Last year her spring break mayhem excuse was some bullshit about not everyone being able to go to Florida. What’s her excuse gonna be this year when nobody’s able to go to Florida yet the same shitheads will be causing the problems again?

Maybe 10-15 years ago I would have stepped up and did the “righteous” thing but nowadays with the citizenry hating us, the bosses and politicians who control them treating us like shit, no contract for almost three years, and all of the other nonsense we’re forced to face, blue flu will be the order of the day.

Don’t worry Lori, plenty of 2 year wonder assholes are eager to jump at your command.

The department needs to provide the means and the time for officers to clean and sanitize things at shift switch off. The surfaces in a typical car can be sanitized with spray disinfectants in a few minutes.
Equipment can be wiped down pretty fast. Should take no more than 15 minutes at the start of each shift.

Old retired guy here. Live in the Pacific Northwest. Urge all to use caution with this virus. I know the media is portraying the bulk of the deaths here as linked to the nursing home. That is accurate. However in the last couple of days have become aware of people that have been admitted to icu, that don’t fall into the “elderly, pre-existing” category. One 40 year old male a healthy er dr. was admitted to the icu. He initially tested negative, then later positive. He worked in the hospital were many from the nursing home were transported. Tonight became aware of a couple, that are friends of a relative, that had to be admitted to icu. Both not over 50 and in decent health. This is nothing to play around with. Think the feds and trump administration are doing everything they can, but this is going to get bad. Your idiot mayor (boy it’s nice to say that) doesn’t have a clue what she’s doing, so she resorts to knocking the administration to take the heat off her. From what I know and have read you are not equipped to deal with this. Don’t think like we use to do, back in the day, you’ll just put your black leather gloves on you will be okay. My wife and I fall into the high risk category. My daughter has a job which put her in a position to know the impact. After telling us to prepare, end of Jan, by ensuring we had groceries etc. to exist for a month we listened. She said that there will come a time when I will tell you to stay inside. Three weeks ago, this past Friday, she said it’s time to hunker down and not be around people. We listened, we are glad we did. I could go on but I know my long post won’t be received too well. So, be cautious, be safe and remember the city doesn’t t care about you.

US had 61,000 flu deaths in winter two years ago! I call this virus a manufacturered emergency that will only kill our economy so people will turn to the government so the Commies and George Soros can take over.

And her majesty the mayor goes to Instagram to send out instructions to the stupid, ignorant and government dependent democrat mislead masses demonstrating her intellectual superiority instructing the dumbbells how to wash their hands while singing in the bathroom. The queen mayor was once an esteemed federal prosecutor with a law degree I want you to know.

Are people really that stupid after all that "investment" for the children in the public schools? What exactly are public schools teaching in health classes nowadays?

One can understand if she was instructing the children targeting their developing minds. Or even a bumbling word stumbling senile old man with Alzheimer's like the front running democrat presidential candidate Joe "lunch bucket" Biden.

But to stereotype or to reveal implicit bias towards the unwashed masses shows that her servants under her command cannot effectively wash their wash their hands without central planning government figureheads leading the way, the truth and the life. The condescending underlying message disguised as a public health reminder is quite clear.

There isn’t any kind of plan and they know it! I don’t even consider myself of the alarmist group but in general I don’t think there’s any problem staying away from larger functions where you may end up in close contact with more people on average. But there is absolutely no plan. Training scheduled for off site, cancelled. Training at academy not cancelled. Bullshit email from Beck that misleads people that there is no virus when in actuality what it is saying is there is no “confirmed case.” Why? Because testing isn’t readily available and it takes days to get results if you do get tested. So rather than suspend operations or be transparent, they’d rather go on business as usual, play games, etc. As far a virus goes, I’m healthy and not high risk but I have frequent contact with people that are high risk. I’m not going to put those people at risk because the department doesn’t think ahead. Any non-essential police activity should be suspended and not encouraged at this time. It should be this way for the overall good of others. This means: not demanding activity from street officers, no training anywhere as it puts groups together, have sanitation items available for radios etc (I’ve been bringing my own), no swiping or keying in a your code at the machines. Everyone on this department should be considering having a case of sniffles this weekend to get the message across loud and clear that they need us, police officers. Our health & Our loved one's health isn’t less important than students, politicians, teachers etc. Yes, we can’t shutter the police districts but you should be giving us the proper tools to do our jobs.

They all need to be interviewed as to their loyalties during this (or any) national emergency. Also "sanctuary cities" should be brought to heel during this emergency, and resisters "quarantined".
In country of 330 million people, more will die from car wrecks, heart attacks, etc. than the few deaths from this overhyped flu strain. There are more TDS sufferers than wuhan flu victims. Can we quarantine them? When this blows over in a month or two and the media hype is seen for what it is, Trump will be proven right again.

Merits worried about sickness liability? That’s a laugh.
If the Med Section gets overwhelmed, they’ll put out an Order that any absenteeism will not be tolerated.

One thing about getting sick lately DURING FLU SEASON is that just about everybody, with a generally healthy immune system is recovering. Exposing self and then unknowingly infecting the marginal, the babies, and the elderly, one would think should be the concern.
Plenty of ignoramuses out there still shaking hands, sneezing, coughing, touching, running around gym rooms, etc. carelessly going about and spreading germs.

Snowflake enriched Districts could to go into a panic phase any day now.
What will be the Democrat Dept of LightLoafer response then?

Untrue. Not these days. It was true when everyone was a combat cherry, but not anymore. Some of the Special Forces soldiers I trained in 2006-2007 have 9 to 12 combat tours now. They are supreme Operators/killers with TOO much experience at hunting and killing people. Callous? Fuck yeah. Combat missions are commonplace when you have been doing them for 13 to 14 years straight. Most of the guys are divorced, blue-balled, angry, and have very little experience at anything else but Direct Action missions and divorce court.
In the MAC V-SOG Vietnam days, the "super Operators" that were our heroes had 2 to 4 tours. They could drink and bang whores in Nam. Not now. Back to back tours in the Middle East with no booze and no love will make a man very angry. Especially since the leadership is now filled with what you call "Merit Hacks". Affirmative Action hit the military in the 80s, now, they are firmly embedded at the top. We haven't won a war since.

For the love of goodness, can someone pull a plug on this fake hysterical disaster! Virus has been in China for 4 months and there are only 4K deaths of already sick elderly people who probably would have died in 3-6 months without the virus. Out of 1,400,000,000,000 people!!! US had 61,000 flu deaths in winter two years ago! I call this virus a manufacturered emergency that will only kill our economy so people will turn to the government so the Commies and George Soros can take over. China is probably buying all our depressed companies’ stocks. Same with Soros. Whole thing is a shame.

It is people like you,in your pessimism and ignorance, that are responsible for the spread of this unknown and very deadly virus.Pay attention to what is happening in Europe, Italy in particular. They were aggressive from the start and it is getting away from them. The death rate in Italy is now approaching 8%. But, according to you, let the seniors die. Who cares they are old anyway and would soon die of something. No loss I guess. So, in your feeble mind this entire thing is a Soros and Communist plot? Yikes !! You are dangerous

First responders get exposed to more shit (germs, health hazards) then the general public. Overall, some, some mind you, first responderss have better immune systems then most as a result.

I don't say that to excuse and I am not a doctor (nor are you in any likelihood) so I remark only to comment. Yes, there should be supplies on hand to clean and disinfect. That said, some cops are better able to deal with exposure to infection then others.

As to who, among cops, is better able... Sadly that is unknown until the time is at hand. Stay safe all!

In case you hadn't noticed, China is not the only one dealing with this thing and their numbers were probably never realistic in the first place. Italy, a much smaller country, has reported about 2,000 deaths and 2,000 recoveries plus ~20k active cases clogging up their health system. Spain's numbers are shooting way up too, and they're expected to be the next one to go for a total shutdown.

Don't get me wrong, I don't trust the media and WHO any farther than I can throw them but there appears to be some fire to all of the smoke. America has a better medical system than these other guys but it's not foolproof, so a risk does exist. What's unfortunate is that the various groups given public trust have behaved so irresponsibly for so long that it's impossible to make a fair assessment of what's actually going on right now.

Today on WBEZ, a call-in person noted that near-north big-box grocery stores had sold-out many pantry staple items, including rice. She then noted "word's getting around" that grocery stores "on far south-side" had plenty of same pantry staple items still stocked on shelves. She noted she drove to Jewel at 95th and Stony Island and bought her supply of bagged rice. She also noted, that if people were so inclined, to go to these south-side grocery chain-stores, given that their north-side grocery stores are often depleted of popular pantry-food items. (No info on status toilet paper and hand-sanitizer at this Stony Island Jewel.)

What does this tell us? That south-side folks around Stony Island and 95th don't feel that same compulsion to "stock up for shortages and quarantine". I think all hell will break loose next week. Time for curfew, time for restrictions on unaccompanied teens, etc.

If they FORCE CIT officers to be first responders for all covid19 cases I GUARANTEE you in 1 week you'll have no more CIT officers at work! Payback for using and abusing us everyday since this CIT program began.

To the unpublished - we had to get rid of your comment for the blatant falsehoods contained within:

Amato retired over a year ago, so attempting to blame her for the current state of subcontractors skimping on cleaning products is feeble.

Calling Riccio and Waller "qualified" is, quite frankly, amusing. Riccio is carrying on the finest traditions of taking care of the connected, clouted and his cousins. Waller is protecting the moron traveling out-of-state in a company car to gamble and god knows what else.

There are plenty of qualified people, but because they don't know anyone "important" they will never be allowed to unfuck this clown show.

For once I have to agree with your blog, and notice I said for once. Amazing that the department not the city provided hand sanitizer to the district so that you could refill your own personal sanitizer. I actually have to stop by CTA booths to refill my personal bottle which I constantly use. The CTA booths are stocked with 2 or 3 large bottles while we the officer's walk around with nothing. Sure you can blame the department but let's also put blame on the city. The department would rather we catch up on our Elearning so we can meet the consent decree deadline while we are using the few computers that thousands of officer's use each and everyday. Has the department even sent anyone in to sanitizer the lock up or processing area where prisoner's off the street enter each and every day. As I said before the department is or was one major incident away to actually finding out how I'll prepared we really are. You can only bullshit another team for so long before you finally have to play them and they find out your shit ain't together. Just a few more months until retirement!!!!

Thanks for the sit-rep from the Hot Zone. Yeah...this is a lot more serious of a health emergency than the flu. We are totally unprepared for this and Covid-19 looks like it will be around in the general population until July if we're lucky. I know cops in Seattle and Portland who made jokes about this just being the flu but aren't laughing once they saw that even mild exposure can cause permanent lung damage to a healthy 21-year old. Stay healthy and keep your family safe.

I call bullshit on this.

The scientific results in no way back up this allegation.

The plagues of the past, that actually killed healthy people, never caused this amount of panic. If this was reversed the democratically owned media would blame the republican party of using fear mongering to promote their cause.

Today on WBEZ, a call-in person noted that near-north big-box grocery stores had sold-out many pantry staple items, including rice. She then noted "word's getting around" that grocery stores "on far south-side" had plenty of same pantry staple items still stocked on shelves. She noted she drove to Jewel at 95th and Stony Island and bought her supply of bagged rice.

What does this tell us? That south-side folks around Stony Island and 95th don't feel that same compulsion to "stock up for shortages and quarantine".

No.
The people around 95th and Stoney Island don't have the cash to afford hording.

Seriously they have an order saying to call swat if you think people have the virus. Let's infect the entire swat team and when they are needed, who you going to call? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaaha. This not only shows how incredibly stupid our command staff is and how woefully unprepared all the government agencies were in dealing with a situation like this. If you get exposed to someone with the virus, you can't go home to your family, where is the dept going to house you during your quarantine? Who is going come and secure your contaminated gear and weapons, swat? Hahahahahahahahahah. Where do we take your contaminated squad car and who is going to decon it? I have more questions than answers. When the 3500 hospital beds available in the city are full then what? The best and brightest are in charge, and this is what they come up with. For those of you civilians who thought guns were evil, guess what, if things go to shit how are you going to protect your families? I guess you can call swat. Hahahahahahahahaha. I guess they are being issued particulate masks as the answer for when they have to respond to infected people, I hope home depot gave the city a discount on the masks. Hahahahahahaha, what a fucking joke. Hey swat enjoy your D1 pay. Hahahhaaaahahahaha.
