Water Cooler Talk

Someone wrote this in a comment in the Fauci post:

  • Been reading the blog for over a decade. It’s your blog, you can do whatever you want and I’ll still read it everyday. But the consensus I’ve been hearing around the water cooler at work is go back to the bread and butter, department rumors and boss bashing.

What District has a water cooler? Or what floor at HQ?

Whatever, we appreciate constructive criticism from where ever to keep the interest of the readers.

But we did a rough count of our January posts and found out of fifty-ish posts:

  • 3 open posts
  • 10 crime posts
  • 6 scandals - police and fire
  • 10 posts on politics (local, state and national)
  • 4 posts on illegals
  • 5 posts on schools
  • 11 posts on Department issues, FOP and safety concerns

We thought it has been a pretty balanced January all-in-all. We don't have a water cooler, just a coffee spot and a bar. And believe it or not, cops actually care about politics at all levels, especially when so many political decisions affect our kids education, our tax bills, our bodily autonomy, our district lobbies, etc.

You're welcome to skip the posts that don't interest you. You're welcome to submit stories and rumors for us to look at and perhaps write about.

Fair warning though - as the 2024 election approaches and the next "plandemic" is implemented and cops are expected (ordered) to perform certain functions (even Constitutionally questionable functions), we're going to be writing until they don't allow us to.

Pritzker urges Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to stop migrant drop-offs in winter storm: ‘I plead with you for mercy’
https://chicago.suntimes.com/2024/1/12/24036176/pritzker-urges-texas-gov-greg-abbott-to-stop-migrant-dropoffs-amid-winter-storm

Says the multi billionaire who owns thousands of hotels, does not blame the democratic party, the Democratic president who has allowed all of this, does not blame himself for making us a sanctuary state but nowhere else in the state are they dumping the illegal criminals, except for in Chicago so he’s begging for mercy. Wow talk about a hypocrite. Put them up in his hotels if he’s so worried about it, why is he not bitching about Biden allowing all this? Why is he not bitching about the border? As a matter of fact, why is he not turning the buses around or sending the National Guard to the border of Illinois for lending them to Texas sending them to the border there to stop the invasion !

In the last 5 years or so, our country's culture has "jumped the shark". If you pay attention to current events, It no longer resembles what was deemed normal just a few years ago, and the freak show is escalating. This is by design. I think it's imperative for SCC to post articles on anything related to the downfall we are watching. And make no mistake, the corruption is worse than most of us could imagine. In another time frame, that sociopath Fauci would be sitting in a jail cell...or worse.

The blog’s definitely hit a stride in terms of insightful and informative reporting. It’s doing a solid job shedding light on the corruption and politics that are the real big-picture issues. Reading about incompetent bosses is a good laugh, sure, but what’s the actual outcome of it all? I’m curious if anyone’s looked into the recent Lieutenant’s exam. How come folks with family connections, like those spouses and siblings in that elite study group, managed to nail top 25 spots? Seems like more than just coincidence, doesn’t it? And it’s not just a one-off – we’re seeing the same thing with the Detective exam, where family friends of these connected players are also coming out on top.

The comments here are awesome but these hijacks are a pain in the ass. Most of the time they announce them but sometimes they don't.

I'd suggest you stop letting those through moderation and maybe do more open posts to give them a place to spout. They'll find the open threads sooner or later once they realize their off-topic rants aren't showing up under actual defined topics of conversation.

As goes (D) politics nationally as goes Chicago politics. As others have said, what would have been unthinkable a few years ago is no pushed as mandatory. The insanity of the (D) border and sanctuary policy is enforced by a minority of agenda driven nuts and soft headed followers. It effects all citizens in the city just like the nationwide (D) pro-criminal policy.

We need to take the country back. This is why politics and policy needs to be called out here and wherever as often as possible.

Because this current just-us department is politicized. I wouldn’t be too hopeful either if Orange Man Bad overcomes democratic cheating and wins for the third time. He didn’t do anything after he defeated the she-devil from Arkansas in 2016, after he said he wanted to “lock her up” during the campaign. Also, he is fighting against the RINO’s in his own party who threw up roadblocks to all he wanted to do during his term in office.

I think military tribunals are the only way we will see justice served.

What happens when they try to drop illegal criminals off in suburbs they get a police escort out of the suburb. Get the hell out this is the way it should be treated. Don’t worry Brandon they will come here because they know you’re a coward and you’re scared and you’re weak. All the suburbanites are enjoying this, but yet you being the big, dumb goof, you are our allowing all of this in our city, they know you’re a coward, Chicago police would be more than happy to escort these buses, the other way funny how the governor owned you without a doubt.

A bus transporting asylum seekers attempted to drop off their passengers at two Will County Metra stations yesterday afternoon. The first attempted drop off stop was the Manhattan Metra Station, where Manhattan Police were alerted to a large bus in the parking lot. Upon the first officer’s arrival, the bus was leaving the station, but a woman who got off the bus said they were leaving and heading to a different stop because the line that goes through Manhattan has very little service.

A second unit observed the train moving north out of town towards Joliet, where the police department was alerted to the arriving bus. When the bus arrived at Joliet Union Station, Joliet Police notified the driver of the city ordinance restricting buses from dropping off migrants with intent to discharge passengers without proper notification and authority. Learning of this, the driver decided to continue out of Joliet, with escort out of the city limits.

How is it possible that someone who is 55 years old but only worked 20 years can get insurance and if you are 54 years old and worked 30 years you can’t get insurance when you’re retired.

Have you looked up the word Contempt?? Using these names shows contempt for the idiots. Just like they hole all of us, police and civilian, in Contempt. So, use your mouse and hit on another blog or news article you agree with. I love the name Mr. Potatohead, for that thieving puppet stumbling about the White House. I hold these imbeciles in contempt. They are not stupid, except for "Blowie" and Mr. Potatohead, they are doing this to this city, state and country. They are putting us in harm's way, taking our money and giving us the middle finger. So, again I say to all here, hold them in contempt.

Retired almost 28 years ago, moved out but still loved the city. My father was correct in moving us to the suburbs in 1953 because of the politics in the city. I crossed over the border and gave an oath to enforce the laws of the City of Chicago, County of Cook and the State of Illinois, just like most of you. Now, that city is a total loss, and I hold all of those responsible for it failing, in Contempt.

I love this blog and most of the people that comment here. We still care. We are not 7 years old either.

Do you proof read before you hit submit? Are you really that dense?

The policy says 55 years of age, not 54 genius. Doesn’t matter how many years after 20 you have if you are not 55 years of age when you retire. If you didn’t understand the policy when you left prior to 55, well that’s just a major league fuck up on your part!
