ISP to Investigate?

From the comments:

  • ...right from the 5th floor.

    ISP is going to be taking over all CPD OIS investigations. details are being worked out but the sticking points are transparency, timelines and the big one is the cost. ISP does not want to but we are going to pay them millions to do it. word will come down before the end of the year.

This would make sense, having qualified investigators handling Officer Involved Shootings instead of political hacks with axes to grind

Anyone from ISP care to confirm?

Based on the post just below this one, an outside agency is the only way to have a legit investigation.

Should be state law. ISP investigates. Tell COPA to fuck off.

Even if this happens, I'm sure COPA will still do their part to find any so-called wrongdoing and try to get everyone fired and charged. This shithole city needs its "independent" and "civilian" oversight of the horrible police. They don't care how biased and unqualified that oversight group is, as long as they're not the police.

Lawsuits and laws I say it again. These shitbags in these made up civilian agencies and hacks have no power to grind the axe now in court, knowing the judges look up the existing state laws of a police shooting and they probably are saying "How can you determine a police shooting when you're not the state police nor have any law enforcement experience to make a decision like this?" Just a matter of time for COPA to disband itself or blend in with BIA.

Not so fast. ISP became a proving ground for affirmative action in the 1970’s and well before there was ever a “1100 Club” and remains so today. The ISP is now and always was four wheeled cash registers. So imagine having a team of Snellings who never should have been hired, and never passed a promotional exam responding to a Chicago Police shooting.

The ISP’s investigations of OIS’s in the suburbs always appear to be thorough and well-done. If this comes to pass, I would see it as a big improvement for CPD.

But as an outsider to both agencies, I really doubt that ISP will be willing to do this.

State law is that only a certified law enforcement officer will handle/investigate a police shooting,,,, it is Chicago politicians that wrote a city ordinance (not law) that they will hire a civilian agency to investigate Chicago (and Chicago only) police shootings.

Great deal of pushback by Democratic Socialists, the Community, Revruns, Media, CTU, Liberals, corrupted City Council, Conehead, and other anti-police hacks. Losing control of the local narrative and the loss of the ability to manipulate, deceive, deny and smear is too much. COPA and their Chief Propagandist and Weasel - Andrea Kirsten (never forget her name), will fight this tooth and nail.

This type of political power and control was hard fought and carry's significant ability to create and maintain the illusion of wrongdoing and anti-police rhetoric in the low information voter's mind. This is similar to Joe Goebbels and his hateful propaganda machine controlling the German population during the 1930's. The big Lie continues to thrive in Murder City.

To abdicate this kind of local political power over of the anti-police movement to an outside police organization is unthinkable. Evan if ISP, who works under the thumb of the Fat Ass Hog - the Govenor, it won't be allowed. They will never release their "illegal choke hold" over CPD. Chicago is totally corrupt down to its DNA and it's not ready for a transfusion. No one of importance in this city supports change of any kind that would minimize the status quo.

Like previously posted this idea a joint task force w IRT and ISP has been kicked around for years. ISP does not have the manpower or the desire to handle the amount of city OIS. That end of the investigation would be for charging purposes. COPA would still do the administrative process. COPA is only the primary investigative agency in fatal OIS. They present their investigation to the CCSAO who determines if charges are warranted. COPA then does the admin investigation to determine if the officer followed Dept. orders. It is a totally bs way to do things.

But it makes sense that the police shootings are investigated by a law enforcement organization. That won't satisfy everyone though. There will be naysayers who think civilians are up to the task. I agree SCC. At least ISP is less likely to have an axe to grind.

The truth is that it is the law that an agency cannot investigate itself for its own OIS. It has to be an outside agency.

No outside agency has the resources or the will to involve itself itself with CPD BS.

Our IRT investigates everything up until the moment our officer pulls the trigger.

I still don't understand how COPA gets to investigate the shooting but all the lawmakers and the Illinois attorney General look the other way.

As we know, COPA members have no law enforcement experience or investigative powers/training.

I believe there was ruling somewhere that proclaimed they are operating out of the scope of municipal and state law, so why should ANY of their findings be credible and accepted by CPD?

They should be boycotted or something, a Sworn Chicago Police Officer should not have to follow orders from a civilian under ANY circumstances. I realize this is all wishful thinking but I hope you all get where I'm going with this.

There has to be a way to legally negate COPA, especially after what that Kirsten bim just did.
