Firefighter Mayday

Here's a guy with a spotless disciplinary record...AND who won the Lambert Tree Medal, the highest City Award for heroism at great personal risk. 

That and $3 will get you a cup of coffee in Groot's Chicago (click for larger versions):



For removing a "Defund the Police" banner on the public way, 30 days?

We took out the phone numbers because there are still plenty of assholes trolling for personal info here. If you are of a mind to make a donation, stop by any firehouse. These posters will be up citywide.

Thank you LT! As a 26yr vet of the CPD, I commend you for your actions. You did nothing wrong at all except hurt some jag offs feelings. Had you hung a banner up, on duty, on a public building, and someone reported you for that you would have been thanked not disciplined. Though our two brotherhoods often joke with each other and we are indeed brothers and sisters on the front lines. I will definitely be making a donation! Thank you for your service

If you really want to go digging around in how discipline is handled by the CFD, ya probably should pack a lunch.

3 lieutenants were fired just before Christmas for falsifying training reports at the airport.
The lieutenants were following ORDERS given to them by incompetent Exempts that were put in charge of the airports.
No Exempts were disciplined.

Isn't a banner placed on the public way considered litter? Removing litter is punishable by a 30 day suspension? We all know why this severe punishment was handed down, and it's all because of this perceived racism whenever someone speaks out against anyone who's against the police. The police are seen as some white supremacist organization, targeting and murdering innocent black men, despite the obvious and very public fact that a large percentage of police officers are non-white. But the truth doesn't matter when it comes to perceived racism. All that matters is that a white person did something that a non-white person disagreed with. This "infraction" deserved NO punishment, let alone an extreme suspension of 30 days for a first and only "infraction." I hope and believe he'll be able to appeal this in some way and be made whole. It's absolutely disgusting and ridiculous. This mistreatment of those who choose to serve their community, even in the face of hatred and violence from that community, is despicable. This bullshit narrative and the media and political support for it need to stop. I'm beginning to think that can't happen without some sort of uprising from the good citizens who still have functioning brains. I really don't see another way out of this nonsense at this point. God bless our police and firefighters, who tirelessly serve a disrespectful, hateful, violent, classless, immoral, and undeserving portion of the community, far more than they're allowed to serve those who actually support and deserve them. Someone please set up a GoFundMe or something so we can make sure donations come from those who stumble across this on the internet, and not just those who go to a firehouse. Thank you to this hero for supporting the police and doing his part to fight this rampant stupidity.

Yea, 30 days is pretty excessive for removing a “Defund The Police” banner. So who is behind this push (politicians, fire department brass ?) please name names. It appears they support the Marxist policies of the BLM/ANTIFA movement that is rapidly taking down our present form of government to be replaced by the socialists/communists. One thought for you CFD exempts that are involved with this case, don’t cave for the politicians, because the movement to defund, eliminate, attack the police are the same people who were also attacking fire department personnel and preventing them from doing their emergency services all over the country during the rioting, looting burning of our cities during the last few years. Stand up for your subordinates because the politicians won’t because they are on the same team.

So CFD’s discipline matrix seems a lot like ours... it’s written as being progressive in nature, yet routinely ignored when it’s time to mete out punishment.

The Bosshole(s) tasked with signing-off on how hard someone gets whacked need to be held personally (read punitively) responsible when they get overzealous with dinging subordinates. I guarantee the whole disciplinary process would be on the straight and narrow overnight once some supervisor had to cut a personal check for flexing north of prescribed recommendations.

So they allege the firefighter removed a “DEFUND THE POLICE” poster from public property. If I remember correctly there is a city ordinance banning posting of bills on city property. Cite the person(s) that posted this inflammatory sign. The firefighter performed a public service just like a citizen who removes graffiti markings by others on the public way. Or should that citizen be charged with destroying “graffiti art” of another or their right of free speech in placing the markings. The democrat politicians are using the firefighter’s action as a tool to teach a lesson that you will be punished if you don’t support their radical left ideology and a deflection from their ongoing corruption.

Wonder how much time the black female Battalion Chief (who flunked her exam but was promoted anyways along with others) will get for proclaiming that ‘White guys’ tried to kill her at a downtown high rise fire. She was ducking her responsibilities 5 floors below the fire (where no one could find her) and stated that ‘White guys’ didn’t call Mayday, Mayday, Mayday for her because she’s a black female. Just bury the story-you’re not supposed to report it anyways.

As a Lieutenant with CFD, they started with 30 days?

Well, we all know this is BS but I suggest the LT fight the suspension!

No matter how volatile the matter is now, this is an over reach of CFD command punishment!!

Hell CPD tried to terminate me and I still fought and was found Not Guilty of any charges!

Questions is was he informed by any supervisor above him that the sign was allowed to be displayed on City Property?

If not as a CFD Field supervisor he took actions to remove the signage and restore calm to his area of responsibility!

If this sign stated “ Hang all firemen “ he would have removed it! If the person that was offended that the sign was removed should be
questioned and further reimbursement made for the removed sign!

They are trying to control this CFD supervisor and make an example of his actions!
Through intimidation and loss of pay?

Not suspension!

He'll grieve it and get all his time back. He did nothing wrong per his department policies nor any law on the books. It's public property and therfore it cannot be held that he "destroyed" or "stole" anyone's property. This whole "investigation" was done to appease the media and small percentage of those wanting to defund the police but once again the vocal minority win over the silent majority. It's also a warning to anyone else that wants to try something like this. Do it and there will be consequences whether they are legal or not. Sad state of affairs in the CFD

It’s terrible we live in a place where the police are looked down upon by politicians, so called religious leaders and these brain washed high school and college kids. I personally seen some paid clown climb a flag pole at McCormick place a few years back and remove the American flag and replaced it with a Black Lives Matter flag. When this paid white school teacher was detained, the fire department with flag properly presented was hung back up. The fireman removed the Black Lives Matter flag and it fell to the ground to the dismay of protesters and yes, some police Department bosses. Today if this happened, the fireman would be facing probable firing. This city is done, shot. The fire department and police department are decaying from the top. But it’s nice to know some guys still have balls.

Whatever you think about Trump, he doesn't take kindly to pedophilia and he has went after the sex trafficking rings throughout our country and recently caught another in Springfield, Illinois.

Since Trump has went after all the pedo rings it begs the question "Is this one of the reasons why they hate Trump so much because he goes after pedophiles and protects children."

The left seems okay with these crimes but not Trump. Click the link below for the arrest of pedophile ring right here in Springfield, Illinois. Another success for Trump but crickets from the MSM Cartel.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. – An initial trial date of Feb. 2, 2021, has been scheduled for a Springfield, Ill., man, Evan Taylor, 24, indicted on federal child pornography charges last week. Taylor, of the 2000 block of Claremont Dr., made his initial appearance on Dec. 21, via video conference in federal court in Springfield. Taylor was arrested on Dec. 18, and was ordered detained in the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service pending a detention hearing scheduled on Dec. 28.

The indictment charges Taylor with sexual exploitation of a child for allegedly victimizing minors from August 2018 to May 2020. Taylor is also charged with distribution of pornographic images of children; travel with intent to engage in illicit sexual activity; enticement of a minor; receiving child pornography; and, using a computer and cell phone to attempt to transmit information about a minor.

If convicted, the statutory maximum penalty for each count of sexual exploitation of a child (five counts) is 15 to 30 years in prison; for distribution of child pornography (six counts) and receiving child pornography (one count), the penalty is five to 20 years in prison. Taylor is also charged with one count each of travel with the intent to engage in illicit sexual activity, which carries a statutory penalty of up to 30 years in prison; enticement of a minor - 10 years to life in prison; and use of a computer or cell phone to attempt to transmit information about a minor carries a penalty of up to five years in prison.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Tanner K. Jacobs is representing the government in the prosecution in coordination with the Sangamon County State’s Attorney’s Office. The charges are the result of an investigation by the Sangamon County Sheriff’s Office and the Federal Bureau of Investigation with the assistance of the Marengo, Ill., Police Department; the Tazewell County Sheriff’s Office; Jasonville, Ind., Police Department; and, the Indiana State Police.

To fully understand what these billionaires think of you is WalMarts response to Senator Josh Howley stating he will not vote in favor of Biden due to fraud. They responded by saying "Go ahead you sore loser" for his right in upholding the Constitution. This is really shameful and it gives us all a take on how they truly despise us, every American who buys their products and allows them to sit high above and cast their hate.

We should all let WalMart and Sam's Club know our feelings known with our wallets and phone calls and letters. They love COVID because it crushes competition and they have made billions in the process.

You think this is going to be the last Plandemic, if you do, I have some a bridge for sale. This is a money making racket that will never stop, it is a means to an end and they love it.

He was singled out of his class ... it wasn’t pleasant for him...He went back to the fire department for his own reasons and I can’t blame him. It was a good thing because he more than likely came close to knocking them out ...He is that guy that would stand up to anything or anyone when he sees wrongdoing… I’ve seen it 1000 times… Please guys if you got $5 $10 or $20 bucks on you ... please can drop off at a fire house. 30 days will hurt anyone ... And I think we owe him for ordering the truck to stop and then he personally got out and removed the sign. Thanks Johnny Love ya pal Richie.

London has the right idea. Simple flyers pasted everywhere, get out the word, start the revolution. Fight against oppression. Fight against the Democratic party and communism.

The revolution starts with simple things, MSM will doxx you, fines will be levied, arrests will be made, but information must be released to the people. Print and post, click the link below.

I want to thank all of you for the courageous effort given in 2020. It was an amazing, fearless performance that will stand as one of the best in the past 25 years.

We have been challenged before with thwarting an increased crime rate, and we have successfully reduced it to historic lows. But this year we faced more than just an increase in violent crimes. We dealt not only with a pandemic but also with unprecedented civil unrest. Our Department handled these challenges with the utmost professionalism and dedication. Be as proud of yourselves as I am of you.

When the rest of the world isolated and quarantined to help reduce the spread of COVID-19, we were scheduled at times to work more, not less, in public venues with large crowds. I cannot remember a time in the past 25 years when the Department canceled more days off, scheduled more back-to-back shifts, or implemented more 12-hour days on a Department-wide scale. And with we did this 10-99, by ourselves, as our judicial partners (clerks, attorneys, judges, etc.) closed the courts.

At a time when the stay-at-home order means many of the general public have been spending even more time than usual with their families, I know I, like many of you, have spent even less time with my family. Not only have we been tasked with working an extraordinary number of hours but we also worry about catching the virus while working in public and spreading the virus to our families. Most of the general population even canceled their long-standing family gatherings for holidays and funerals because of the rising COVID-19 cases, yet every second of every minute of every hour of every day throughout the year of 2020, we were there to serve and protect the citizens and visitors of Chicago. Outstanding!

One of the many benefits of the Consent Decree is the requirement to improve in-service training for all members. As the Department attempts to maintain compliance by providing members with training, we continued to attend training at a record pace. While a Chicago public high school and a City of Chicago Community College were closed to their faculty, staff, and students because of the health concerns of COVID-19, we attended training at these facilities as well as at the Training Academy, participating in record numbers while practicing social distancing protocols. This task alone highlights the dedication and commitment of police officers and the training staff.

And although the Department proclaimed the training facilities safe, members of the Federal Monitoring team and the Illinois Attorney General’s Office, who were meant to observe the mandated training, were no-shows. Our perseverance reveals the heart and soul of our Chicago Police Officers, distinguishing us from any other profession. Certainly, never let either of those two groups question your loyalty to serving and protecting the public.

Lastly, remember we are the Thin Blue Line that separates good from evil. We are the protectors of that line. It’s our responsibility to protect all. People count on us. Many of our brothers and sisters have paid the ultimate sacrifice defending the Thin Blue Line. Effective policing requires us to be prepared to step in to arrest criminals and prevent potential crime. We cannot control whether criminals are prosecuted or what bond they receive, but we can control our effort and attitude every day. Let’s always show the people of Chicago that we are the best Department in the world.

Thank you again for helping make certain 2020 will go down as one of the greatest performances by the Chicago Police Department. Happy New Year! Enjoy yourself when you are off: you’ve earned it.

I caught 30 unpaid days and a misdemeanor charge for pushing ove a political sign. Charges were dropped after the election but the judge told me that if I as much got a citation for traffic, he would teach me a lesson. Well, 30 unpaid days in 1982 was a pretty damned good lesson.

The DNP will relocate the homeless to never return and cut off funding to domestic terrorist groups and if they push back they will arrest them.

Eventually they will get caught but so what, who in the MSM or Congress will break ranks and expose the truth. If they do, they lose their job, lose their position of power, and the machine rolls on.

Wow.

Wow.

There's a similar situation in the University of Chicago neighborhood. There is a beautiful statue of a (I think) Czech or Hungarian nationalist hero on horseback on the 59th street Midway. BLM/Antifa communists have take over the statue's base to post BLM propaganda. One terrible Communist Kindergarten teacher at the University of Chicago Lab School has brainwashed her 5 years old to make personal statements against Racist police who supposedly hunt down and kill Black people for no reason.

There are lots of ugly paper and candles at the bottom.

I want to do something to counter these Communist lies - but understand I might suffer the same fate as this honest Chicago fireman - I liken this to just cleaning up graffiti.

I've also made some very good street propaganda posters that present the lies of Antifa/BLM - I'd like to put them up someplace - can some SCC readers give me some tips on street postering?

Thanks.

Please remember the Communists were eventually defeated in places like Spain, Italy 100 Years ago and in places like Chile 50 years ago. We need to study what worked then and adapt their tactics to our current situation.

Please understand we're dealing with the worst Leftist Communists - these aren't nice "liberals" though there are certainly lots of Liberal useful idiots and Lenin and Stalin would say.

God bless you all and God protect us in these terrible times.

another day, another set of depressing stories highlighting the futility and destructiveness of America’s drug policy.

First, we have the saga of Ashley Biden, 37-year-old daughter of President-elect Joe Biden. A “friend” attempted to sell a hidden-camera video allegedly showing Ashley snorting cocaine. But instead of coughing up the reported asking price of $2 million for the 43-minute video, the New York Post watched 90 seconds of it and reported on its contents. That in turn led to the “news” that—a decade ago—Ashley had been arrested for marijuanan

Not because the 17-year-old daughter of a Senator may have smoked pot, or because the 27-year-old daughter of a vice president may have snorted cocaine. Does that really surprise anyone? I’m outraged that our adolescent approach to drug prohibition gives bottom-feeders reason to believe that they can make millions of dollars exposing a marginally public person’s recreational habits.I’m outraged because our hypocritical stance toward drugs keeps us from evolving past the same ridiculous cycle every time a notable person gets busted: exposure, accusation, confession, penance. What never gets brought up is that some substantial percentage of the people clucking in disappointment are themselves users of illegal drugs. Is doing drugs wrong, or is it getting caught that makes you a bad person?

And I’m outraged because this never gets brought up in these routine public-shaming narratives:


If the video really does show Ashley Biden using cocaine, then she broke the law. She also contributed, however unwillingly, to the wrong side of a violent war raging across our southern border. So have you, if you’ve done any illegal drugs in recent years.

former President Obama may laugh, but the law is the problem. Changing it would deprive bad people around the world of massive profits—or at least bring them into the mainstream, where the usual leverage can be applied and cutting off your rivals heads is generally frowned upon. Americans have voted with their wallets: they’re never going to stop doing drugs. It’s time for us all to have the courage to accept that verdict and find a way to limit the collateral damage.

Like virtually every mainstream politician in this country, Joe Biden is “anti-drug.” It’s long past time for him—and every one of us—to rethink the equation and come down on the side of maturity, sanity, and peace.

Larri’s people barred from removing unauthorized bills, flyers, commentary or are they still focused on restaurant canopies? Removal of an unauthorized banner displaying a divisive opinion in broad daylight comes with a rather excessive penalty. The Vindictive AngryToad really has boner, depending on who’s doing the complaining.
Question;
How many red line feral that removed plywood from downtown stores to get inside an loot got a penalty?
How many violent feral protestors firing explosives at police got penalties.
Larri had ordered removal two Columbus statues, symbolic fixtures of many immigrants, in the middle of the night - and done so after many requests to reconsider this action and offensive stunt.

Revenue makeup.
Larri had ordered all riot and damage related ANOV citations (for felony looting and battery) be systematically discharged and thrown out and top it off, the few individuals (with ID’s) that were actually written up never had to even show up at a hearing. Try that with a red light or an over 6 mph speed cam ticket next year.

Ever since her early days in Massillon, her life was miserable, her peers poked fun at the tweeb, her physical deformity and her confused gender identification. As she entered adulthood, the general anger, vindictiveness and "getting even" issues developed and matured. Now she fully understands how to exploit the system with her first clout job at city hall. Patronage, payback and punishment are her hallmarks.

No matter what she does in office, this little tin pot despot has tarnished herself forever as a cheap trickster and manipulator who will eventually have a prominent spot next to the hucksters, corruptors, bullies and criminals in Chicago politics.

just another once prosperous country invaded by barbarians and vandals and orcs. some day normal people will return to build on the ashes of what these savages have destroyed. never could have happened without bribing the worthless politicians to leave the gates to the city unmanned. like caligula and the other deranged emporers who destroyed their own countries with their greed and hubris, lori and jumbo will go down in history as insane inbreds who destroyed the best cities in the world. ill bet that demented midget has dreams of book deals and movie rights dancing in that tiny mishapen shit bowl of a head. history will not look on these incompetant shitheads nicely. they will be known as the benedict arnolds of the 21 st century. looting, arson, even murder no longer crimes, taking down a communist party banner is now the highest crime in the land. lori lightfoot.........i spit on you !

Be careful walking into the firehouse at division and Larrabee... firm BLM supporters within that firehouse

Sad, but true.

I remember when the biggest concern walking into that house was shots fired from the 1230 N. Larrabee building.

The grounds now occupied by Target reminds me of the stockyards in 009 after a heavy rain. You can still smell the remains (piss) of the projects emanating from the soil.

So much for progressive discipline huh???? If this incident occurred when I came on the job (right around the same date as john) there would have been NO discipline! Nothing...not even a verbal. Fuck you beetlejuice and everyone of your puppets. Still don’t know how the men and women of her detail stay on that detail. Too bad o’herrons doesn’t sell spines. They’d make a killing selling them to merit fucks and connected special unit members. I’ll be stopping by a house soon to give my donation

I’ve had the good fortune to know John since HS. He’s always been someone I respect because of his work ethic and loyalty. It’s truly disappointing to see that the exempts at CFD like CPD fail to possess any backbone as they implement discipline that is far beyond what occurred. If someone can post where to donate I’m happy to contribute.

John, you better not be at home wearing those black/orange shoulder pads with your HS jersey.

John dad
I’m a retired CPD officer of 35 yrs. johns brother in law is a sgt for CPD his other brother is a police officer for a suburb. John was raised to have respect for everyone especially police officer.The week this happened one of his state police friend has a person spit in his coffee on archer ave. Going to work and seeing that defund the police banner really hit him wrong. The incident witnessed by mayor Daley’s girlfriend who beefed. John is the type of guy who would give the shirt off his back to friends and neighbors. He is also the type of guy who would give up his life if it came to that. John i would like to say you did what I would have done and I’m proud of you..if we had more men like him this city wouldn’t be so fucked up. Love your dad

It should go without saying but BE PROUD SIR

another day, another set of depressing stories highlighting the futility and destructiveness of America’s drug policy.

First, we have the saga of Ashley Biden, 37-year-old daughter of President-elect Joe Biden. A “friend” attempted to sell a hidden-camera video allegedly showing Ashley snorting cocaine. But instead of coughing up the reported asking price of $2 million for the 43-minute video, the New York Post watched 90 seconds of it and reported on its contents. That in turn led to the “news” that—a decade ago—Ashley had been arrested for marijuanan

Not because the 17-year-old daughter of a Senator may have smoked pot, or because the 27-year-old daughter of a vice president may have snorted cocaine. Does that really surprise anyone? I’m outraged that our adolescent approach to drug prohibition gives bottom-feeders reason to believe that they can make millions of dollars exposing a marginally public person’s recreational habits.I’m outraged because our hypocritical stance toward drugs keeps us from evolving past the same ridiculous cycle every time a notable person gets busted: exposure, accusation, confession, penance. What never gets brought up is that some substantial percentage of the people clucking in disappointment are themselves users of illegal drugs. Is doing drugs wrong, or is it getting caught that makes you a bad person?

And I’m outraged because this never gets brought up in these routine public-shaming narratives:


If the video really does show Ashley Biden using cocaine, then she broke the law. She also contributed, however unwillingly, to the wrong side of a violent war raging across our southern border. So have you, if you’ve done any illegal drugs in recent years.

former President Obama may laugh, but the law is the problem. Changing it would deprive bad people around the world of massive profits—or at least bring them into the mainstream, where the usual leverage can be applied and cutting off your rivals heads is generally frowned upon. Americans have voted with their wallets: they’re never going to stop doing drugs. It’s time for us all to have the courage to accept that verdict and find a way to limit the collateral damage.

Like virtually every mainstream politician in this country, Joe Biden is “anti-drug.” It’s long past time for him—and every one of us—to rethink the equation and come down on the side of maturity, sanity, and peace.

12/31/2020 11:57:00 AM

---------
Maturity, sanity, and peace? China Joe's got you covered. Why he's got the maturity of a cucumber, the sanity of a March hare and the peace that only Iranian terrorist "sleeper cells" could bring. No worries, China Joe is in control.

Anyone that knows him knows he would do anything for you. He went out of his way to back the CPD. He should be commended and now it is time to back him. I know our department has been able to pull together for our members in need and now John needs us. If any member of the CFD is listening, please visit our Districts and we would be more than willing to help. FOP, please step up and organize for this CFD member.
