Why the Silence?

As an astute e-mailer writes:

  • The departments silence on the current Captains and Director (of GEU) promotions is deafening!!! It’s no mistake or oversight...Carter and Brownie don’t want the promotion of Sadiaa and the political hack,Jimmy Sanchez, being derailed by the media or some at City Hall.

    Why are they rushing Jimmy through the process...could they be violating a long standing rule about hiring a retired exempt back as a civilian, to perform the same task as they performed prior to retiring???

We remember that provision about grabbing a pension AND another salary, but we don't recall the exact restrictions on it.

Interesting that Larry would hire someone back as a civilian when she thought his background “raised suspicions “

Move along here, it’s nothing to see. She plastered it everywhere she could. She was clearly not hiding a thing. She was put in for Captain two years ago under Rham and plastered that everywhere to. But get this, Rham hated Carter and so did Eddie. They did it to piss Carter off.

I don’t believe he can get a second pension under the new law but why the hell is Lightfoot doing this kind if garbage? This city is so disgusting. Lightfoot is just like all the rest of the politicians.

What politician is backing Sanchez? Who is the lifelong clout connection?

There are plenty of other experienced exempt idiots on this department who can run the gang unit. The city does not need to hire back a retiree with a shady past. If Sanchez liked the job so much then he should have never left. Fuck him.

The hiring of Jimmy Sanchez has been in the works a year before he retired. Everyone in Gangs and Narcotocs knows this. Back and forth with the Dept until finally the new Sup agreed. This was no rush job.

And there’s no restriction on hiring any retired sworn back as a civilian.

Jimmy Sanchez is the dumbest exempt there was . Have you had a conversation with him ? He stole a spot from a hard working intelligent supervisor because of his greed ! GO AWAY JIMMY , EVERYONE IS GLAD YOU ARE GONE ! Merit hack who never passed one single promotional exam to make a rank off an earned score . His hiring back makes me sick .

Bringing back Sanchez does nothing to help the department . Sanchez was an exempt member for 3+ years and he did nothing to help bring down crime . Ask yourself , while he was an exempt , did he make a “ change “ ? The answer is NO . Sanchez was business as usual , promoting friends & other political hacks . Remember all , he promoted no one from 010 when he was Commander there . All of Sanchez’s merit picks were from gangs because he owed ! Instead of bringing fresh eyes into the unit , the city decides to bring back a guy who never advanced the police departments agenda ! He only helped friends get bigger salaries with promotions that were not earned . GO AWAY SANCHEZ .

Everyone knows the definition of insanity ... hiring Sanchez back is just that !

He shouldn't be hired back based upon the EEO beef he received.....the last week he was working. He retired "under investigation" ....meaning he should not have retirement credentials and can't carry. Only if the superintendent allows it.

Media outlets........do some investigating.

When someone is retiring from the city. There is supposed to be a two year wait before they are hired back by the city or a contractor who does business with the city. This rule was put in when the hired truck scandale went down. Yes rules are made to be broken.

Yeah whoever said this was a rush job clearly isn’t in the loop.
It was the worst kept secret in OCD.

I know a lot of guys have things to say about JS, but all of the comments are about his personality.
The fact remains that you have to acknowledge that he is the best guy at the current time for that position.
If not the best, he’s still in the handful of guys in the conversation to run that unit.
The people complaining about that move are likely not 193 people and that’s a fact.
If anyone has any suggestions for whom they would’ve preferred over JS, I’d love to hear it.

Civilian Director? That could’ve been anybody.
Would you want Robin Robinson coming back as the director of gangs?
Maybe some egghead from the University of Chicago? Think about it.
You might not like him as a person, but gangs needs someone who has done the job in that unit, and who has experience with how those things work.
Should he have just remained a sworn commander? That’s a different issue altogether.
But if the city wanted to change the structure of the department that’s not his fault.

When stuff has to get done favors may have to be called. 8 Month Hashed Browns still doesn’t know who’s who and can only go on others advice when it come to personnel.
Larri needed council votes, needs reliable allies here and there. What’s a merit or favor bump worth, Larri isn’t tied to anyone here but does listen to the few and far patrons, benefactors, donors suggestions on how to run CPD.
Nothing is any different than it was last week/month/year or 10, 20 and 60 years ago.

Larri gives two-shits about the CPD. Her appointments are for serve serving political points only and probably come with conditions and obligations, such as taking the fall for the angry lying dwarf tree toad when shit hits the fan. There’s some talent ot there but not every foot that gets in the door first will see the post-career six-figure job. Who you know, what you bring to the table and of course “loyalty” still prevails.

Posturing without a spine ain’t easy...or is it?

Some one up there is lying. Sanchez hire back is a recent development in planning, within past 9 months. His alderman friends are pushing this and the mayor needs allies. Allegedly he had other offers but he knows what he knows and he doesn't know much. We have a Search warrant scandal brewing and they hire back the guy who has kicked in more doors without warrants than Santa after one too many eggnogs on Christmas eve. Gonna hit 775 homicides this year and yet Sanchez is the answer? Come on. How this guy is a perfect fit for this Dept now is a mystery to all. The circus is coming to town and it doesn't end well for gangs. Replay of 94 coming under this guy.

So a hispanic politician just funneled 25 million into Kumalot Harris campaign fund so he could get the Senator seat. Didn't Blagovich just talk about this "golden" opportunity and get sent away for 12 years to a maximum security prison in Colorado.

We are now experiencing two sets of rules. I set for Democrats which equals pat on the hand and the other is for Republicans, Christian, and the middle class which equals jail time.

That's the point. They Hired him back as an analyst not a front line commanding officer. and to whoever said who could do the job better than Sanchez. I'll go with about 50 Lieutenants and a few Sgts as well. Sanchez is over rated as he has zero leadership and organizational skills.
