Right After You "Boss"

The 16th and 17th District Chicago Police Scanner feed is turning into quite the entertaining social media platform. We're not quite sure how they operate as most District Radio Zones have gone encrypted and the audio is only available after some sort of time delay. The company line is "this is for security" but we suspect it's also to keep the media at least ten-to-thirty minutes behind actual events.

They have an amusing exchange from Zone 4 (001/018) the other night when a few hundred non-demonized teens began rioting and looting.

But if you can't hear it, this is the transcript:

• Car 100: If you're an officer, you should be putting hands on people and arresting them right now, not watching them walk by you.

  Officer: Right after you. (background laughter)

Amusingly, this paragon of "leadership" was the subject of a recent COPA finding for misconduct off-duty that resulted in a multi-day suspension that just came down last Thursday. At the time, he was a mere captain.

• Here's the link to the COPA website

The are three documents there:

1. a Final Summary Report sustaining five charges and a penalty totaling twenty-five days of suspension;
2. the Supernintendo's non-concurrence letter, signed by Eddie Johnson - a known drunk, philanderer and political tool, recommending Sustaining charges #1 and #2 as Reprimands and Not Sustaining charges #3, #4, and #5;
3. a Resolution Letter partially agreeing to the recommendations and issuing a three day suspension.

Obviously, from the Final Summary Report, it can be seen that COPA is handing out suspension time for any and everything based on mere allegations and without any sort of actual investigation that would stand up to scrutiny. If the media thinks CPD railroaded certain cop killers into prison, they ought to look at these COPA "investigations" and wonder what-the-actual-f#$%?

Also obviously, it helps to be connected.
