What's up With This?

A long neglected rule - especially with no volunteers.


This was known informally as the Ceriale Rule after Mike was killed in the Deuce. The idea at the time was that cops with less than three years didn't know enough to operate safely in a plain clothes capacity, even though there was nothing suggesting his working plainclothes contributed to his death.

But as the pendulum swung father to the anti-police, anti-arrest, anti-any-sort-of-street-investigation, and more toward traffic stops and blue cards (in lieu of actual arrests), tact teams got very desperate and took anyone regardless of time on the job. There were zero perks anymore and many days cops weren't even working in their assigned Districts. In more than a few districts, this meant teams filled by reverse seniority and anyone off probation was fair game.

Something has changed if they're reminding everyone of this again.

If you volunteer to work tact, you’re a fool.

City is CYA mode.
And also saying that if you have more than 3 years and still
make a mistake, it's on you, babe.
It's coming to when Pro Golfers will kneel.
Just thank Kaepernick Lightfoot.

025 tact didn't go by reverse seniority over the last few years. They just offered it to coppers off their probation as a way to get off midnights. Made me sick watching that merit scumbag Escamilla making himself look good at Compstat off those young cops activity that didn't know any better. Why the sudden change? It's not like thankfully any tactical cops with under 3 years on have been killed or anything

I was a Det in Area One when Police Officer Mike Ceriale lost his life in the line of duty. I didn't know him but was involved in the investigation that followed his murder. Officer Mike Ceriale did NOTHING wrong! We saw that he was a good police officer that did his job. Talking to officers that worked with him leaves no doubt that Officer Ceriale for his years on the job was better than most. Rest easy brother. You will never be forgotten.

Maybe they want to enforce the rule because the streets are getting more dangerous with assholes more willing to fight the arrest, and even start shooting at Police. .

Here's what has changed. Since they are disbanding units or downsizing them, officers are given the choice to remain and get stuck in this new unit (Summer Mobile or Crisis Response Team) or return to your old Districts. Well some don't want to push a beat car. The problem is that the Tact Teams are filled with these new kids on the block with no experience.The District Commander is aware that officers with more experience are returning to home base, but there is no openings. So, let's inact this rule.

Sure, it’s justification for throwing the youngsters into the fire to take the heat and blame.
The hot shot go-getters allow COPA to stay relevant and maintains the Police Acting Stupidly™️ narrative.
(e.g. 2 yr wonder from Hashed Brown’s Sum-R-Mobo Cleaning Crew locks up 69 yr old former state rep for bs traffic warrant Issued to someone else much,much younger. Of course there was a mystery phone notification to the WC made and not disclosed too) https://chicago.suntimes.com/politics/2020/8/4/21354924/former-state-rep-arthur-turrner-arrest-warrant-snafu-traffic-stop

Academy time of 6 months, Probation another 18 months that’s around 2 years time served.
Piss and vinegar is fully fermented by then and permission to kick ass and take names granted.

Or it’s just for getting pin-cushion assigned to an admin front office, Unit or HQ bureau spot, with executive order approval from the chief.

Lightfoot should be fired, recalled, resign or just go away. She is a complete and total failure. She's a national disgrace that rivals NYC's De Blasio's incompetence and stupidity. Another fucking failed Socialist Democrat.

At this morning's pressers Groot said the same bullshit she said after the May riots, lootings, arson and the sacking of Chicago. You are full of shit. The city has been looted twice within three months. Chicago is like Portland, leaderless, rudderless, and dominated by Socialists. Under Larry Chicago will soon fall from third place soon to be the fourth largest city in the nation as people flee Shitty City.

Found another spot for a Chief and his support staff. Office of Inner Operations - Patrol.
This would compliment the Office of Outer Operations - Patrol

Lol!

Your description of "piss and vinegar" reminds us of the
old Mountain Dew commercial from the 60's...

Hey fella...
Careful where you point that there jug
when you pop the cork on it!

"Ka-POW! Zzzing!"
>Loud report... High-Velocity Cork
cutting a nice sized hole through
the brim of somebody's sky-piece<

The point being that aggression, assertiveness
and combativeness by The Police have their place
and with measure.

But these tacticool young-uns are green as goose-shit
and disposed to be break-neck, mind-locked and head-strong.

On top of having their heads filled with so much
that just ain't so that they're unable to discern
good counsel when they hear it.

Of course, the pastors at the "church of the poisoned minds"
aka CPD Academy, have been telling these kids not to listen
to senior officers when they try to tell them something for
their own good.

"Be the change! Don't let those old dogs
in the districts stop you from being the change!"

Funny...
Has their been any Academy instructors
with "Real Muthafuckin' Poleece" time
under their belts over the last 20 years?

You know...
Been there. Done that. Bought the tee shirt.
Won the stupid-assed looking stuffed animal.

Etc. &c. And so on...

Commander MC of Mass Transit is looking to put two year wonders on a plain clothes mission team. Didn't two officer's who had two years on the job shoot an unarmed subject. Since everything has been handed to him, he does not know that is not a good idea!

Tact is the biggest scam on the dept nowadays. Gone are the days when tact was comprised of grizzled vets who brought in only quality arrests.

Now these teams consist of people looking to just get off the watch and not have to push a beat car anymore. On top of this, they are bringing in ISR’s and blue cards on the daily!

Most of them look like they can barely grow facial hair too

Not the correct narrative/racial makeup of the police offender/victim. Flip the officers and victims race and there would have been mass riots and looting, or in other words, a typical day in a demoncrat run urban city!
