Supernintendo Finalists on Tap

Though we suppose "on tap" might be a bit insensitive after the incident Monday morning at the Academy:

  • Mayor Brandon Johnson will soon be on the 30-day clock to make the most important appointment that any Chicago mayor can make — a choice that could define his tenure and even how long he remains in office.

    The Community Commission for Public Safety and Accountability will hold an executive session at 3:30 p.m. Thursday to discuss background checks on the six semifinalists for Chicago Police Department superintendent, then choose three finalists from among those names.

    After the executive session, the commission’s public meeting is at 6:30 p.m. in the auditorium of Kennedy-King College, 740 W. 63rd St., to take a formal vote on the three finalists.

    Once Johnson gets those names, the clock starts ticking. The new mayor will have 30 days to either choose one of those finalists or reject them all and ask for another nationwide search that produces three more names.

Once again, a decidedly unimpressive group of semifinalists, and as posted in our comments last week, the backgrounds of a couple of these applicants are....how should we say it? 

"Scandalicious" might be a good word. Financial improprieties, sexual harassment histories, misconduct allegations. 

Mayor BJ might want to start over, unless his actual aim is to keep the media attention on the clusterfuck that is the CPD and away from the emerging clusterfuck that is his governing style.

Come one SCC, you guys know this is business as usual. We all know why this department is messed up. I'm glad I retired on my mid 40's and collecting already, HOW? WELL, you just have to be smart. I learned how to hate the job and anyone with a white shirt (except a few)

Makes no difference. They do what they’re told or they get dumped.
And yes……the focus will remain on CPD to continue to enflame the base and distract from everything else.

Bring back EJ. The fun times and intrigue that he brought to the job was something, like only a Hollywood thriller could write up. His final few months with that Lady McBeth type of wife and the eventual demise was something to behold. The standing up on the podium with the family announcing his future retirement and then the eventual downfall in the 009th district, oh boy, and the multiple domestic disturbances after, as well as his driver’s ludicrous allegations of sexual improprieties was classic. And her hastened lawsuit was even more shocking. Bring this back. Mayor Lefty could use this sideshow to take the heat off of his own ass.

You could put General George Patton in as the new super and there would not be a noticeable improvement. There are CALEA policies in place that make any type of pro active police work too risky. Anything force review flags now can get you suspended without pay for up to a year or maybe even fired. The states attorneys office might even choose to indict you if you have to defend yourself from an attack on your life and they don’t like how it looks on BWC. It’s not just here either. It’s happening in every democratically controlled city in the country. For self preservation reasons the police have pulled back and the criminals have noticed it. That’s why crime is up over 80% from where it was four years ago. The progressive left has succeeded in making evil good and good evil.

Lyrics to "Send in the Clowns" by S.Sondheim

Isn't it rich?
Are we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground
You in mid-air
Send in the clowns

Isn't it bliss?
Don't you approve?
One who keeps tearing around
One who can't move
Where are the clowns?
Send in the clowns

Just when I'd stopped opening doors
Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours
Making my entrance again with my usual flair
Sure of my lines
No one is there

Don't you love farce?
My fault, I fear
I thought that you'd want what I want
Sorry, my dear
But where are the clowns?
Quick, send in the clowns
Don't bothеr, they're herе...

I’ll echo the sentiments of most: doesn’t matter who’s the Top Banana. They’re all puppets for the machine.

And those with skeletons in their closet? The more the better, as it’s used as leverage to ensure complete control.

Just remember… At the end of the day, the Stupidintendent - whoever it winds up being - has absolutely no direct influence on the daily lives of 99% of you on the job. Go about your business, stay under the radar as much as possible and you too will make it to retirement.

All three are horseshit choices.

Snelling is merit all the way, spent most of his time in the academy chasing female recruits around when he wasn’t too busy bragging about how great he was and trying to be Gus Tero Jr

Novalez is another merit rider, who couldn’t make a decision to save his life. Don’t even think he was a district or unit commander. Spent all his time in CAPS and headquarters.

Outsider, COPA background? We’re doomed!

So now we can here the same old lies (BS) on how the new Supt will make things right again, just like Dallas Brown told us he would do. Remember that slug, he was Larry's "Poddle." Soon Lefty Johnson will have his own Poodle. The lapdog media will regale us with stories about how things will change and re-enforce the Big Lie. No worries as to who will be the next Supt
- Mob Rule will still be alive and well and looking forward to the rest of our summer joy.

Obviously the committee didn't dig deep enough. Ask anyone who worked at the academy the last 20 years about 2 of them and the dude from Madison will be the clear winner.
Dear Brandon, this choice is very important as it will either make or break this department. Two of those people never earned anything their whole career and we all know it.

Snelling is a house-mouse with no street experience.

Word out of Madison is that Barnes had his department issued unmarked Tesla (yes, a Tesla) taken away for repeatedly going through Illinois tolls without paying which resulted in embarrassing toll violation notices being sent to the City of Madison. Just the kind of ethics you want in your next Super.

Have you ever met Novales or ever met anyone that worked for him. I met him once and could tell he never operated a pair of handcuffs. When you listen to him talk it is if has speaks only from the consent decree playbook. He would be worst case scenario. The Madison guy would be a joke and snelling would at least be a Chicago candidate who had filled out at least one arrest report unlike Novales

Yes, Or one that likes to play dress up. One of the new protected class. Check as many boxes as possible, like Trifecta Lightfoot. Never mind the qualifications.
The most important thing is that he/she/it uses proper pronouns and can sit, speak and roll over on command. Extra points given if they have a Ukraine flag on their social media accounts. Lets stick with the real important things in life.

I know that Snelling spent many years in the Academy and I have no personal experience with him in that position, however, I worked with him in Englewood back in the 90's and I can attest to the fact that he was a good street copper. Don't know how he got the Academy gig and don't care. He did the job in a crap-hole district and he did it well.

Couldn’t be l further from the truth . You must have something personal against him. Worked with/for him for years and he was a prince of a supervisor and knowledgeable . Recently he held roll call at tier deployment and was a gentleman there as well

Angel is a good guy. Anyone who says he never worked the streets is wrong. He was shot chasing gangbangers not far from where Brian Strauss was killed in 012. I crossed paths with him over the years and his personality was always the same. I will admit that I fear he has drunk from the fountain of kool-aid, so I am cautiously optimistic.

If you think Snelling is going to be a great SUP, then ask him how he felt stripping officers for the covid portal process? Mans a sellout, pos and a company man who enjoys keeping his power. Fuck him.

Then again alot of the exempts are willing to play as the puppet role like Brown or even worse than him to collect their pension while you suffer at the full force of the media, COPA/oversight agencies, the department, the SUP, the city and don't forget the citizens trying to score the lottery. Good luck convincing any of us any of those finalists are good picks or will even do anything remotely good, the city along with the department are under the Marxist machine rule of BJ and the red pop.
