Interviewing Larry
The slobbery love letter from the Tribune is subtitled "he made his own mistakes...learned from them":
It was around 7 a.m. on Thursday, May 12, 1994. Two officers assigned to the Chicago Police Department’s Englewood District were to take two arrestees to the neighboring Chicago Lawn District station to be photographed.
One of the men, arrested on a domestic violence charge, tried to chat with the officers during the 2 ½-mile drive west on 63rd Street. The officer in the front passenger seat wasn’t in the mood to make friends.
“Do you take me as a joke, m----------?” he said to the handcuffed arrestee. “Do you think you know everything?”
The other officer pulled over the van, and both cops got out and opened the vehicle’s side door. The officer from the passenger seat — 25 years old, with two years on the job — then slapped the man twice on the left side of his face.
He would later deny that he slapped the arrestee or cursed at him, but internal affairs investigators didn’t buy that, and the officer was handed a two-day suspension. In August, Mayor Brandon Johnson selected that officer, Larry Bernard Snelling, a native of Englewood, to be the next superintendent of the Police Department.
The REALLY amazing part isn't that he made supernintendo. It's that despite a suspension for smacking a handcuffed Black arrestee, he got a number of sweet inside spots, stayed there for years, rose above a Don Juan reputation, parlayed all of that into multiple "merit" promotions (since he couldn't actually pass a test with a promotable score), and still made supernintendo.
Show of hands - how many coppers with similar job histories, would be permitted to "learn from his/her mistakes" and rise to the top?
That's not a lot of hands.

Who is his juice?
And I mean his real juice, the phone call that continuedp to save him his entire career?
COPA opens an investigation?
Ole uncle lar gave his time to get aggressive lose the alligator arms speech on cue with the new contract extension. Do as I say, not as I do.
Larry learned how to be a cog in the machine. He didn't have to know jack, do squat or learn bupkis; all he had to do was spin in the right direction when told to.
What really is the point here?
This is the goofus that the binky mayor has chosen.
The binky mayor is as much of a puppet as bimbo biden.
The press can smother both of these goofs' ball sacks with smoochies the Keesing Bandit would envy, it don't mean a thing 'cause they ain't got no swing, not a smidgeon.
sob
But he’s a gym rat doesn’t that mean anything? Come on merit so he didn’t pass a teat, many don’t now the big question is whose his clout? Has to be heavier than whale dung! Don Juan like many gold star exempts through the years, same story constantly different actors. The exempts are way to many, way to stupid to be honest waste of pension fund money , way to many just a total shitshow they get zero respect because they don’t deserve respect. That gold badge meant something years ago now it is nothing more than a disgrace on so many pathetic!
That story brings back memories. Some punks just need it.
I love how the media say he is well respected among the rank and file. He is a joke and the department he runs turned into a joke awhile back. Eddie Johnson was womanizer too. I guess that’s what they all want. As a strong back woman this is totally unexplainable.
Who fuckin cares?
Is it just black officers that are allowed to learn from their mistakes? Axin for a friend.
What did he do wrong. Sound d like the POS needed to be shown the errors of ways. Good for him.
Leisure Suit Larry is also a video game check it out
I don't care so much about the slap - but the multiple merit promotions, that's what bothers me - it's like saying "hey, you really don't need to be that bright to be the boss"
whatever, I'm almost out of here
So a womanizer in a position of authority over subordinates who likes to beat handcuffed prisoners is the face of the department?
You know what? I don’t mind.
He’s a breath of fresh air
This is not surprising to me in any way shape or form. If you’re clouted you can do whatever you please and if you’re not you’re going to get steam rolled . If you don’t believe me well I’ve got one name for you , Sgt Khalil Muhammad. If you’re unfamiliar with him just Google his name. It’s all legit folks … total transparency on all levels.
Sweet
Verbal/physical abuse 2 day suspension
Rule 14 violations gone
Good enough for the boss.....
Even if for a very short while, Larry proved he was the real police when he was on the street. Give the guy a chance. Look at the past 4 superintendents—they all had their own type of certified credentials and were all garbage.
He was number 598 out of 604 participants in the Lieutenant test. Pathetic
Wait so Bill Cozi went to prison but Larry Snelling didn’t. Hmmmmmm
Sounds identical to the Cozzi incident, when should we expect federal charges?
Today that same officer would be charged with Agg Batt, Official Misconduct, and lose their job.
Remember boys and girls...there's TWO Chicago Police Departments: the really nice one that 20% of the officers work for and the really shitty one that the rest of us work for. It's been that way forever.
As much as we hate this job there's a small percentage out here that love it because they are always taken care of and looked out for. They have their whole career path planned out for them as soon as they enter the academy and don't have a clue what its like working a beat car or putting in a full day of work. K-9, Mayor's Detail, CAPS, EARPS, Intelligence Unit, Marine Unit and Mission Teams are on a whole different level these days. These people don't read the blog and go about their careers without a care. Good for them. The ones we have to worry about are the ones making dept policy and instructing the recruits. Those are part of the 20% that are dangerously incompetent.
when it's black on black it is never a big deal or anything to complain about because then that black life doesn't matter, but as soon as the white man is involved, oh boy, all the fake rev-runs line up to complain in front of the liberal news cameras
Sooo...who be his 'clout'?
Slapping a cuffed offender is a violation of civil rights. No statute of limitations on civil rights charges… just saying.

You do! You’re posting here. Now, stay down in your mom’s basement and make sure you do your chores or no meatloaf sandwich for lunch for you.
And he learned when? Last week?
Pathetic!
Correction: It is keeses, not smoochies.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Damn! Y'all racist. I dun nuttin wrong, ax my mamma.
He admits to committing two Rule 14 violations by admitting he lied to IAD investigators.
What do expect when you make the gym teacher the principle.
Merit promotions the gift that keeps on giving. SMH
Hey look at Eddie Johnson. He marched on the Dan Ryan with Father Phaker's crew, blocking all traffic.
Nothing was done over that.

A total coverup for the clouted
This civilian is liking this guy more and more.

I am with you on that one. I never thought I would see the day a total merit makes super.Lets see where he takes the department or will it be just more of the same?

It was 1994, and Rodriguez was the Supt.
Cozzi: Cline was the Supt, and Cozzi got his 18mo suspension.
Then the mongoloid came here.... The mongoloid was all butt hurt that Cozzi was getting his job back, so Judy "gotta run" made a call to his friends in the Civil Rights Unit of the Famous But Incompetent, then thought we were dumb enough to believe his lies.
Don't try and turn this bullshit into something that it ain't.
Can you imagine if merit never existed neither would Larry.
Another Pinocchio reversing there anti-police, bullshit

Interviewing Larry.
Is this a black romantic comedy, soon the be streaming on smart phones everywhere?
Goose bumps popping up all over now....
The crazy thing is that this probably happen in 1994 ish. No cameras …. He said , she said complaint. Usually unfounded. So why would it be founded? Usually back then it’s because of officers own stupidity.
There is no statute of limitations on Official Misconduct. Maybe Kim Foxx will charge him w that and Agg Batt on Public way. Oh wait, that’s only for white officers. My bad.
Look for his moron buddy and merit nominee Mike Tate to get bumped up soon. They made him Commander after being a merit Lt for a couple months. Letting Larry ride on your boat really pays off.
He was hired within the department, not an outsider. He shows that he leads from the front. What with all the hate?
He was number 598 out of 604 participants in the Lieutenant test. Pathetic....
Maybe he's a bad test taker😄
I always find it amusing when people use this excuse instead of he/she is just too dumb.
There is no statute of limitations on Official Misconduct. Maybe Kim Foxx will charge him w that and Agg Batt on Public way. Oh wait, that’s only for white officers. My bad.
Agreed. The system is rigged these days against whites as it once was against colors. White coppers should not treat this job as anything more than a bi-weekly WELFARE check.

Nation of Islam & Louie Farrakhan, there's his juice.
It's a great big club and you and I ain't in it.
So much for karma, the connected continue to get rewarded.
Leisure Suit Larry, I like it. Kind of like a roided, dumber, sleazy Herb Tarlek.
Speaking from Ward Four, Bowser, a Democrat, rolled out the proposal deemed the Addressing Crime Trends (ACT) Now Act, which clarifies the distinction between a serious use of force and incidental contact with the neck, ensures officers can review their body-worn camera footage prior to writing their initial police report in certain circumstances, makes permanent clarification of vehicular pursuit and defines what information will be posted publicly related to officer discipline.
"MPD continues to be a leader in fair and constitutional policing across this nation. They continue to work every day to have and keep the trust of our city. And this legislation won't change that. It will, however, support the department in dealing with some of the negative consequences of the Comprehensive Police Adjustment and Injustice Amendment Act. Some of the changes that were made just don't match the daily practice of safe and effective policing," Bowser said. "And whether that's around incidental contact you can make with a person, or how officers can use their body worn camera footage to write reports or whether police are allowed to safely chase a criminal who's right in front of them[.]"

Wasn't Eddie J's son 'academy power test will be suspended while he attends' at the academy while Larry S was still there, in some capacity
One gotta assume that Mehrhoff (blue card ma fuckas) is gonna fly up the ranks then.

I didn;t watch/read the interview, is that what he did? Was he impeached at the Van Dyke trial ?

Correction, IF memory serves me correct, Ofc. Cozzi was handling a mutt being rude and abusive to hospital staff, delaying his much needed treatment. Sounds like snailing was just avenging his own hurt little pride.
Muhammad shot that kid zero justification but he got no penalty, he should be minimum fired, properly charged and in prison today had he been another race or not connected the media would of demanded it! Hes a criminal just like the rest! What say you Larry?

The answer is absolutely not. I was a copper on the job in the mid 80's and I can tell you stories that would turn your hair white(if it isn't already) about the shit white officers got to "learn from their mistakes" during those days and beyond.
Answering for you AND your friend.

Hearing one of his buddy Sgts is soon to be served with a sexual harassment suit..apparently he liked to expose himself to his male office mate at HQ of all places. Meritorious Sgts at their best.

Hilarious that the white kids on this job think they’re unfairly targeted. 28 years ago they were crying that they were overlooked for merit promotions or unit spots. It’s been tiring listening to the whining for DECADES. I watched them get taken care of with answers for promotional test, merit promotions, prime unit assignments, management transfers, 2nd watch assignments with a breath on the job, and taken care of on the worst of beefs up to and including questionable police shootings. Clout, cronyism and nepotism has always worked for the most connected. Shit, just look at the current half-assed anointed bosses in the best spots now! I’m no fan of the fratern-a-bros/broads, but you pale crybaby bitches get no sympathy from the rest of the legit coppers on this job!
Power test was canceled while Eddies kid was at the academy. Fun fact Eddies kid is a FTO on midnights in 06.

Amen my friend. I don't condone a copper of ANY race doing dumb ish but I don't get how some of these clowns make comments as if Caucasians who have been the majority in this dept from its inception, haven't gotten slaps on the wrist for doing some pretty egregious stuff.

Oh so correct. But,much had to do with your clout. I worked in IAD for a few years and what I saw go on was nothing short of shocking.I was not about race but about your clout and the exempts were all in on it.
Quit looking in the rear view my friend! We're not talking about what happened on the job in the 80's, that was 40 years ago! Grow up. We're talking about what's happening on the job today. The fact that another clown is superintendent is pathetic and demoralizing.
You think he is the only PO to tune someone up.
He gets made Supernintendo, Billy Cozzi got 4 years in a federal pen in Shithole Louisiana. Yeah, life is fair.
This is why the department is in the state it is in. It has been shit for decades. Other agencies and departments laugh at the incompetence that is the Chicago Police Department now. Too many decades of clout ruining everything, too many absolutely stupid people being merit promoted. Too many promotions based on race or clout. Get rid of that and just maybe you will have a real Police Department.
