Where's Charlie?
Can anyone at all remember the last time there were two shootings, and the Supernintendo wasn't anywhere to be found?
Barb West handled the press for the CTA Red Line shooting and Fred Waller did his best impersonation of a clothing store mannequin for the 010 shooting.
Between the two shootings, missed Consent Decree deadlines, and the whole insulting the rank-and-file who weren't heavy enough to be clouted into SWAT, Beck has pretty much destroyed any national reputation he was hoping to build here.

He was out of town and returned today.
YEAH, that title says it ALL.
We have been asking for weeks where is this guy.
We said before Charlie has some sort of MERIT status,
Mr. Teflon, The Invisible Man. Hey Joe, exactly what IS his
contract hours? Much, much worse than Johnson and
arrogance stuck on 100 all the time.
Speaking from the blue shirts, fuck you beck. Just another loser puppet to a Chicago mayor. You sold out those officers for dropping the charges on resisting arrest and the narcotics. You chose to be a politician vs a police officer. Fuck you and whatever dignity you have left. By no stretch of means I’m defending the shooting
He's been reading the blog alright.
My guess is he's burning sick time before bailing.
He was a cheap Western mirage to begin with.
SCC and the readers saw right through his charade.
Beck came in for a quick pay day, a few lines on the resume, and to see what connections, if any, could be made to bear fruit later. He did more to help the department by suspending merit for the time being than any superintendent has done in decades. The department has been fucked for so long that yes, that single action is more appreciated than any other enacted in recent memory. He even demoted a few exempt assholes for good measure. What did you think? He came here believing he could “un-sink” the ship (yes it’s already sunk)? You really believe a man that has reached his level of success is that stupid or naive? Stop hoping for that to be saved which cannot be saved. Just shrug your shoulders, say thanks, and move on.
That Magnum P.I. lookin fool is a damn GHOST PAYROLLER!
He sure learns the “Chicago Way” quickly.
There’s no way that he can still be swiping in and out.
Where's Charlie? Hanging with his Angels...
I have never seen such a huge puppet, Go home Charlie Brown because to me u were a Wun wun wun and the shit you were hired to do anyone from the department could have completed it and take water head Ricco with you.
Charlie is squirreled up in his hotel room listening to neil diamond songs and sipping on some of napa valley's finest. He figured out a long time ago that this place is an insane asylum being run by fools.
Good. Stay off the air. I said it before, and I’ll say it again, he looks like a creepy porn star.
—-not a cop
I would not call Beck's short tenure here a complete washout, by any means...getting rid of merit promotions was huge.
Demoting Wodnicki (who should have either been fired or forced to resign) and Escamilla were huge. He accomplished more
in his 3 month interim Sput. time than anyone in recent memory has done in filling the chair. I just hope that the appointed (permanent) Supt. can accomplish as much, whoever the nominee will be.
He flys back to Cali every weekend . He came back early this weekend something may be announced today.
They should just being a cardboard cutout of him to every scene.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
He was pickled to start with.
The only Napa he knows is auto parts.
Charlie and his sidekick were doing a Bugatti oil change.
16 plugs and about 16 1/2 quarts and about $21K because
you have to remove the underbody plate and the rear end
to get to all the plugs. Dry sump oil system, you know.
It's big bucks Legos for kids who never grew up. Charlie
saved a bundle because he is the 'DYI Guy'. And always
so precise! He measured the old oil in 5 quart containers
and added the exact same amont back into the Bug. He's
a connoisseur who prefers the Red Line brand, but in a
pinch good old Mobil 1 will do just fine. Multi Skilled Male.
Just go back to California take all the money you have a shit load of it from and complements of the taxpayers of Chicago Democrats being Democrats just give away our money. You’ve done nothing to make any changes you shuffle the deck as many superintendence have done in the past
Say what you will about the guy, but he got rid of merit promotions for at least a little while. There's a whole lot of newly announced detectives, sergeants and lieutenants that should be grateful for that.
I remember a time when Superintendents weren’t in front of the camera every 5 minutes. Good for him
To whomever keeps referring to Beck as Magnum P.I., please stop insulting Tom Selleck. He is a handsome man. And I would consider this city to be lucky if we had a police commissioner the likes of Thomas Magnum or Frank Reagan. Beck is not only a carpetbagger but looks like he’s been socked more than a few times by a bag full of nickels.
I’m a die-hard Tom Selleck fan. Just sayin ....
Charlie doesn't care about Chicago or the members of this Department. He was here to get Malinowski the Job! and now that appears in jeopardy. With the lightly experienced KZ in the lead at this point Charlie has no intention to go above and beyond. He was told there would be a New Sup by 1 March and it would be his guy..

Oh my G*d you sir/madame are hilarious! Didn't he say we're not factory workers making widgets! Go get yours ChaRlie
Getting rid of the merit was all he had to do to get my support. Also not enforcing the swipe in and out was good. I don’t know if people know this, but the superintendent does what the mayor wants. That’s his job. He was told to drop the charges on the CTA shooting. Look at his Los Angeles police shooting record. He backed the blue. Unfortunately here, the superintendent job is a puppet job. At least he got rid of merit.
Hello I am Charlie
No, I can't play Rachmaninov
I don’t necessarily disagree with the mannequin approach. Saying nothing is better than saying the wrong thing. Might actually be a highlight of his career.
None of you think Charlie is a bargain at a quarter mil?
He flys back to LA every weekend, I don’t blame him!!!
We got punked
I have been saying this for months, he flys back to L.A. every other weekend,if there is a hoilday then its a longer weekend, they will pick new supt and first deputy this week and he will move back home and say that during his stay in chicago he did not accomplish anything but made good money....
Captains are merit , you goofball
LA Tool...
Kinda of reminds me of that song featuring “Major Tom” by David Bowie. Maybe he should change his handle to Major Charlie or Major Beck or better yet Soupee Beck.
Earth control to Soupee Beck, can you you hear me Major Charlie?
He was a rebellious youth and teenager focused upon
motorcycle racing. His father enabled him to the point
where Charlie became his father. Law Dog Charlie Beck.
A Consummate Professional.
Where's Charlie?
....Browsing his vintage Bill the Hatter catalogs from the 70s
He media there is a big story here. Are you that stupid or unable to write the story on the missing Police Supt Bozo Beck, because of city hall politics - YOUR CODE OF SILENCE. No wonder you're not trusted.
Murders, Police shootings, chaos on CTA, rapes and robberies and Bozo Beck is in LA. A National Police Executive missing in action. What a disgrace to the police profession and the Police Executive Board. In your weekend escapes from Chicago to LA you left the city in the hands of Fred Waller and Barbs (Pillows) West. That alone should get you dumped and send you packing to La La Land.
You and the Imp are telling us to "use every tool in are tool box". Are air line tickets and weekends off in our tool box. Once again the Imp shows her fat dumpy ass to Chicago with her double standards talking out of her mouth and her ass. Larry brought all this shit on herself and own's all of it. Hey Larry have another bit of your shit sandwich.
In the past I was honored with two “Dress Right Awards”. Am I on the right path to receiving my “Best and Brightest” designator? Always dreamed of being one of the B&B boys.
News Flash, Charlie B. Did not jack up this department....this department was way gone before he stepped on the stage. Dont let your Chicago pride get in the way of the truth. NYPD and LAPD are way more professional at all levels than CPD. Naturally, I'm not speaking of the small percentage of the "real police" on this job.
Speaking of Beck, who's the next puppet that will be replacing him?
You surely cannot blame Beck for any problems in the CPD. Beck has a great reputation and I would take the LAPD way of doing business over the CPD anyday. Daley is the one who started the CPD on the road to hell when he turned a very good police department into just another patronage arm of the democratic party. Now, that is what is running things today. Beck would have to demote just about the entire command staff to unscrew things. I think there should be a formal selection process for a gold star, possibly submitting written essays on crime problems and an oral board ( not the one that currently is used ) all run by outside agency. I have heard the dumbest and most incorrect things come out of the mouth of some of these exempts.
He has all he can take of the CPD stupidity. Going home before it warms up and the real fun begins.
Bernie Sanders has him slotted for Director of Homeland Security when he wins. What could go wrong?
Speaking from the blue shirts, fuck you beck. Just another loser puppet to a Chicago mayor. You sold out those officers for dropping the charges on resisting arrest and the narcotics. You chose to be a politician vs a police officer. Fuck you and whatever dignity you have left. By no stretch of means I’m defending the shooting

Do ya REALLY believe that was his idea ???
This city is a nightmare. Beck wants out.
I thought the fool was temporary?
Isn’t his 6 months expired?
Bring in the new puppet
Time to clean out the Academy
Sgts dont even wear their uniforms Nice sweats
LA’Chollie hasn’t been paid yet.
That $300,000 plus undisclosed expenses and per diems has him a bit skittish. Probably running back to his real side job to pay the rent and the pool service in Hollywood Hills. Leaving Chief of Constitutional Policing in charge? Where’s Anthony ?
To think the next historic CPD Supt is going to change everything he’s so far supposedly reorganized on the whims of an angry, twitchy Larri LightLoafer.
Oh and if anybody cares....
LightLoafer took off too.
She’s in Toronto.
Hobnobbing with the well versed big money, multifaceted democrat elitist, Rahm appointee Andrea Zopp (yes, she was a CPS Board member that looked the other way during the [Rahm appointed] Byrd-Bennett scandal).
Who cares? The days of having pride and moral on this department are long gone. I'm a blue shirt, it doesn't affect me even in the slightest bit who holds a conference after a shooting. The supe could be sitting on his couch with both thumbs up his ass, still doesn't affect me. You guys gotta give it up, and stop caring. Policing is dead. Your own safety, your co-workers safety, and your paycheck. The only 3 things that truly matter on the street.
Do not worry Babs West has it all under control !!!!!!
We r so Doomed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Clout and SWAT in the same sentence again. Lol can't roll my eyes hard enough.
"Getting rid of merit promotions was huge". Oh that won't last at all, just look at the new sup candidates. Rearrange the idiots places on the Titanic. Wow, that should help. Now pay me. But the man is "concerned", yeah right. Go comb your mustache.
And if he's been reading the blog why not something real about the lie-tenent scandal. It's okay it's all legit, Ferguson couldn't find a thing wrong. Drop the charges on that idiot on the train but remember he's a cops cop. Just wait until the next sup. It can always get worse and will.
Have no fear, Aurora chief coming to the rescue!

Is there a captains exam ? I’d say they’re appointed if there’s no test.
he took personal responsibility of the amnesty boxes.
gonna twist a big chief and read his favorite comic book. FAT FREDDY'S CAT
Whoever is forced to take the Super job should be forced to watch Blue Bloods to see how police force needs to be run. Over the nine years of the show they have covered 95% of all issues that a Super would have to handle. The one difference is I have never seen a segment where merit promotions are involved. Maybe missed it but don't think so. That is the major difference in NYC, LA and Chicago. Merit and Clout with The Chicago Way thrown in the mix.
The 2/4/2020 Austin Weekly News profiles Barbara West. Law enforcement became an obvious career choice for West, who was inspired by Charlie's Angels and Christy Love movies starring Theresa Graves, who popularized "You're under arrest, Sugar".
Sanders won 5 states. For an old man he sure is excited.
And they want to keep it like that.
Mini Mike spending millions for delegates.
Larry & Beck: they never see each other anymore.
Two losers. Beck played her like a con man.
Today a Federal Jury ruled, on my behalf, that I did not use excessive force (Count #1) in my OIS in late 2016 (007). But they found me (the City) liable on Count #2 for a state battery tort claim (my second shot that killed the offender who I believed pointed a gun at me twice). I only fired twice in less than 3-5 seconds. There were no punitive damages awarded and the Federal Civil Rights Claim #1 (4th Amendment Seizure) was a not Guilty. But they awarded $1M for the battery claim. I can’t explain the reasoning behind the Jurys decision except that one or more individuals felt they needed to compensate this offenders family. I write this only to provide some context for my next statement...for all the young kids still “running, gunning & chasing” PLEASE STOP. You can be 100% correct and still face prosecution (civil & criminal). Civilians don’t get it and even when they do - they somehow compromise to the loudest voice in the jury room. Please be careful & safe. I wouldn’t wish these last 2 weeks on any of you.
glad to see someone cut away from boring politics to discuss the stress of owning a bugatti. i thought it was a good investment for my 401k at only 400,000.00. then i found out its 21 grand to replace a tire and 30 grand for a mandatory brake job every 20 k miles. so i laid off the driver and must say it looks good on blocks on my driveway in mt.billywood. back to driving al bundys old dodge now, oh the humanity! well maybe i can save up and get one of those nifty jeep wranglers i hear everyone talk about. guess ill have to pass on the skinny jeans until i lose a couple hundred pounds. aint easy being cheezy.

**Chicago is Full of Corruption everywhere...from City Hall down to the homeless.
Continue to stay UNITED "Brothers in Blue" and continue to sit back and watch the shit show this summer...lets bring the Mayor to her Knees!!! (of course she wouldn't have far to fall in reality)
Still insisting that the SWAT team is clout heavy, clout doesn't help when nearly 50 applicants drop down to less than 20 after the first day of testing. You guys keep pushing this clout bulshit, fake news. Ridiculous to think otherwise, there isn't a phone call that gets you onto the SWAT team. This isn't the days of 20 years ago HBT
Hold tight fam, we're all in this together (from south of I-80)

Dont hold back, I sense you're holding something in, can we hook you up with EAP? They're Free!
Everyone should've known he was a mayoral puppet. Did you actually think he was going to fight for the ones that dont sign his check?
When FOP or PBPA can hire a Chief then we'll have a chance. Other wise you'll just get a lot of smoke and jokes.
