COPA Scandals
Typical inept city bureaucracy embroiled in their own scandals. The Contrarian covers numerous scandals roiling the "watchdogs" since inception:
- Though COPA is supposed to be under the prying eyes of the notoriously daft Inspector General Joe Ferguson, the agency is once again pegged to embarrassing news. On December 8, a COPA employee was arrested by officers serving with the CPD’s fugitive apprehension section. Though the employee’s name was not released, the COPA staffer is alleged to have participated in the rioting and looting which overwhelmed the Magnificent Mile on August 10. The accused, who is believed to be a paralegal with COPA, was later released without charge. Responding to the latest disgrace, COPA issued a programmatic statement declaring the agency was examining an “internal personnel matter.” COPA’s statement pointedly reminded readers of its “high accountability standards” and “strict code of conduct” for employees.
Go read it all.

COPA Code of Silence
Wheres the fuckin transparency? Who are they? Are they stripped to only answering a damn phone?
How embarrassing. AGAIN! Nice unit Lori
Sorry o.t. (sort of)
If someone is having a problem with IAD, in their regards to investigating the complaint of a corrupt gold star, who monitors them if they attempt to cover for the connected Exempt? The I.G., the Consent Decree people, or some other entity? Asking for a friend that wants to cause IAD a headache if they try any bullshit and make a complaint against them.
And yeah, I know, er, I mean, he or she knows that the IG, and most likely the Consent Decree people, are useless, but sometimes it doesnt matter if you can win outright. There are seldom any easy victories against City Hall. Sometimes it's all about creating a mess and seeing where the chips fall. As an old wise Sgt once told me, "Never make it easy for the city."
Thanks in advance for any helpful responses.
Was this person put on “administrative leave” like they do with police officers? And surely they can say why this person wasn't charged, because they must be innocent!! Tell us.
COPA is filled with nothing but scum of the earth and this accusation proves it.
NAME...
cmon we can do better than this
HA! HA! HA!
What a joke COPA is!
Don't do as I do, do as I say outfit!
I fact checked this statement “ COPA is filled with nothing but scum of the earth and this accusation proves it.” and it’s true!
Where's our fearless media coverage of Foxx's decision not to prosecute? Hey Ahern,Savini, Goudie, et. al - what say you? Nada!
Retired .38 spl +P
Nothing but pos, but then again larry is hiring (wtf thought Chicago was broke what a dam liar), over 2,000 people/folks no residency background checks to watch children in classrooms, as the teachers sit in their vacation spots working maybe 1 hour a day sipping drinks. Mayor your a complete absolute coward your really a phony scared or taking cash from teachers union order them back to work!!

And why was the guy from COPA not charged? Why was he let go? Is there any news on what he is supposed to have done? Don't expect Fergie to do anything
COPA standards? That’s a good one. Tell me more.
And in other news:
FBI Consulting Contract Revives Tony Soprano’s Grift
As of December 2019, Tuva LLC collected $48 million in fees from the FBI. What value did taxpayers receive, other than supplementing the retirement of former federal employees?
By Adam Mill
December 13, 2020
When Tony Soprano grifted money from waste disposal companies, he didn’t just embezzle it. He used his influence from within the company to obtain “consulting” contracts. With a little paperwork, the fictitious mobster could collect fees without actually delivering anything tangible in return.
Although the government has set up various rules to prevent a Tony Soprano-style grift in which connected former employees plunder taxpayers through “consulting” contracts with their former employers, these rules apparently don’t apply to the FBI. If you find yourself wondering why the FBI lacks curiosity over the Biden and Clinton side hustles, it may be because the FBI has its own vehicle to enrich its elite alumni, a company called Tuva, LLC.
In late November, the Department of Justice Office of Inspector General issued a report summarizing outstanding recommendations that the Justice Department has yet to follow. Among these included recommendations following a September 2020 audit of a $60 million sweetheart contract to Tuva, a company that originally lost the competitive bidding process but obtained the contract anyway after filing a protest with the FBI. As of December 2019, Tuva collected $48 million in fees from the FBI out of the original $60 million maximum contract value.
Tuva claimed special preferences as a supposedly small and “disadvantaged” business. Yet, in practice, it became a golden goose for retirees and obviously had an inside track within the FBI. Among the subject matter experts (SMEs) Tuva employed to work on the FBI contract, a third were retired law enforcement officers from the federal government, most of whom retired early. Some went to work for Tuva within a year after retiring.
What did these former federal law enforcement officers (likely former FBI) do for the FBI? The inspector general noted that the FBI circumvented its own internal rules requiring monitoring of their work product. It wrote, “We also found that the FBI did not: maintain a complete contract file that included the justifications, decisions, and rationale for awarding the SME contract; delegate administrative oversight responsibilities..

COPA is above the law! Just ask anyone who works there. No one can hold them accountable, but COPA. Hence the rwoc even if there’s video evidence.
Regular citizens, cityworkers, firemen, and cops all have their names released. And lots of times their mug shots. Is this COPA employee getting special treatment?
Where’s the transparency? Where’s the accountability?
Officers are being Stripped for BS Reasons from the Protests.
Shithead thief will be promoted.
The deliberate design of COPA was to fill it's ranks
with unhinged, revenge-seeking (for "slights" more
imagined than actually based on facts and laws)
perpetually aggrieved racialist/racist adult
children who "feel" it's their job to FINALLY
make The Police pay for being a "hindrance"
to "tha' communerty" getting "justice and
compensation" for the last 400 years of
"WHITE RACISM" as embodied by The Police.
The dreams conjured by inflamed
and itchy minds... No?
"We gets to hate y'all now!"
A curious thing... Tha' Communerty is chock full of
churchs and tha' communerty holds itself out to be a
God-Seeking and prayerful group of peoples/folkses
but day by day and year over year they vividly and
loudly demonstrate how evil, hellish, vicious, wicked
and gleefully ignorant of the laws of the God they
so loudly profess belief, (especially at funerals
and burials) who has also Divinely inspired imperfect
men to put forth laws so that men are able to abide
peacefully (for the most part) with one another...
Those same laws upon which tha' communerty has demanded
and been given culturally, politically and socially
weaponized exemption to because laws governing public
order, public peace and public safety have now been
determined to be "RACIST."
>Cold wind rolling a dented pop can along the curb<
We reckon we're a big ol' unrepentant RACIST
for making this observation. No?
All I know is when your at the COPA don’t fall in love.
copa clout babies that dislike police remember when OPS was under fire for 3 month investigations
that punk savini said copa investigating a wrong address warrant for over two years political hacks hired by ballerina and lori

As much as it pains me to say it, notify the media if you’re retaliated against. Don’t get me wrong, I hate the MSM. But since they love smearing us, the enemy of my enemy becomes my friend. Prepare to document your every move so you have strong evidence of retaliation if and when it happens. This department and city protects the chosen few and they will go to the ends of the Earth to fuck with someone who makes waves in their little bubble.
Correct me if I’m wrong BUT....
Fugitive only makes an arrest once a warrant is issued?
AND.... in order to obtain warrant there had to have been substantial evidence provided.... correct?
What were the charges?
Which CPD Exempt approved the RWOC?
must be a code of silence.
So who watches the watchers? That’s what I thought, no one!
Typical for the leftists, do as I say, not as I do. See a pattern? Prickster, Pelosi, Groot, Coumo, Newsom.
It's time for a revolution.
This guy was arrested without a warrant because he looked like a subject that had looted a store. It was not clear that it was him, an anonymous citizen called the hotline number and claimed it was him. Felony Review looked at video and rejected the charge of looting. He was RWOC. Can’t prove looting, can’t prove theft so RWOC. Exempts not needed to RWOC, the WOL approves it. And no, Fugitive doesn’t wait for warrant to be issued.
An arrest is not made solely on an anonymous citizens complaint. PERIOD!
Fugitive does go out on warrants but they also go out on named offenders, AFIS Hits, etc.
Arresting Unit is going to review video evidence b4 an arrest is made. Simply compare named suspect with video.
It wouldn’t even make it to Felony Review if video did not match subject. Which in turn no Exempt needed.
But if there was a positive ID and subject was RWOC one wld think it wld have gone up the chain for an Exempt approval.
Many reasons; who arrestee is, position they hold, potential news leak (obvious), officers being stripped for false arrest and let’s not forget the possibility of a (ghetto lottery) lawsuit.

I hope there was more than that. That sounds like no probable cause to arrest.

Right? Exactly! Ain’t no copper w some time on this job is gonna go out and arrest someone, anyone, especially a freaking COPA employee just cuz an anonymous caller said he looks like the guy in video. Common sense and to cover ur own ass ur gonna 1st make a positive ID and then 2nd make sure video also shows him in the commission of a crime. For all we know that anonymous caller could be an X, pissed off co-worker, etc.

Bingo, if the arrest was made solely on the anonymous tip, then there is a big lawsuit coming--unlawful arrest. If the guy was released without charging, then it is reasonable to conclude that there was no probable cause to arrest.
