Charges Dropped
- Barely a month after two Chicago cops, including a high-ranking
deputy chief, were charged with slashing vehicle tires while on duty at
Puerto Rican Fest, charges have been dropped against one of them.
Last month, the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office declined to file felony charges against Nieves, 53, and Gies, 26, citing insufficient evidence.
Despite the state’s attorney’s decision, supervisors at the Chicago Police Department decided to strip both men of their police powers and directly file two misdemeanor charges of criminal damage against Gies and one count of the same charge against Nieves on September 5.
This has rapidly turned into a welcome spotlight on the corruption evident in the Bureau of Internal Affairs / Internal Affairs Division and the yo-yo in charge. She seems more determined to remove opponents and impediments to Conehead's "progressive" agenda....and maybe settling a few grudges along the way.

Which BIA?
The same BIA whose current chief made merit with Snelling in the same promotional class? The same BIA whose chief’s family members utilized her vehicle to transport narcotics and got caught? The same BIA who’s chief got her impounded vehicle back out the back door without paying the narcotics impound fee that all other citizens have been paying for decades? The same BIA who’s Chief, Deputy Chief and Commander are all in the same inner circle with Fred Waller, Eddie Johnson, Kenneth Johnson, Kevin Johnson, Karla Johnson, Chris Fletcher, Joshua Wallace (commander of narcotics)?
The same BIA whose Chief and Deputy Chief committed documented rule 14’s to both the City Council’s Budget and the public safety meetings and no investigation was ever conducted? The same IAD that BARZ was rewarded for shelving so many investigations? The same IAD that Skahill, Rivera, Kirby, Konow and every other boss appointed to oversee that corrupt unit was eventually shown the door? Really? Do you think anything is going to happen to any of them? It’s the Chicago way! All their dirt has been swept under the carpet as everything else has and will continue to be. Nothing to see here, move along LAD.

Kim Foxx saying the evidence is "insufficient to meet our burden of proof" to put a police officer on trial? That turdbird would love to have a cop's scalp as she leaves so you know the charges are b.s.
Question for those in the know: did they let the air out via the stem and not by "slashing" them?
I expect the whole thing will go away. This is what happens when a big boss is involved.
hopefully someone looks at the sheer number of people promoted out of that unit. include a grand jury on the cheaters -
The sandbagging of the DC and PO is akin to extra judicial killings. Yoyo is dangerous and looking to settle more scores.
ummm...I'm sorry---are we allowed to slash tires now????
Not saying the over promoted YT moron doesnt have an agenda (cuz she 100% does)--but seriously WTF, don't damage property for fcks sake Mr Exempt
We are our own worst enemy.
The CPD’s internal corruption is bad that the State’s Attorney’s office turned down an opportunity to fry an officer even though video evidence was available. State’s Attorneys office left the BIA hanging on this one. They wanted nothing to do with this case. They wouldn’t even touch it. I’m sure they are sitting back laughing their ass off..
It seems that everyone other than the BIA knows that officers can’t sign Misdemeanor complaints for minor damage to private property. No victim, No crime, no face, no case.. Hardworking officers know not to even contact the ASA’s office unless the victim is at the station. Who”s idea was it to contact the state’s attorney’s office without a victim being available for them to interview? Even the media knew that an arrest shouldn’t have been made. They even went as far as to knock on the victim’s door and record him saying that he had no idea that the officers had been arrested, and that he didn’t want to pursue charges.
The internal corruption is so bad that not only did the state’s attorney’s office
refuse to touch the case, within weeks they turned around and dropped more charges against offenders in an officer related Homicide case, and on the hills of that, another law enforcement agency in Cook County requested that a former CPD Boss resign from being the head of their department.
Case should’ve only been handled administratively, no arrest.
Where is the Legal Affairs and General Counsel? They are supposed to be stepping in, advising, putting out fires and providing legal advice before it turns into this.
Charges dropped on the first court appearance.
Despite the state’s attorney’s decision, supervisors at the Chicago Police Department decided….

Which supervisors?
Weren't the two cops slashing the tires on video?
Facts!
Asking for a friend. When buying drugs out of the IAD boss's car what is the correct drill? Enter the car or just wait till the stuff is dropped out the window?
You know Yolanda Talley is f-cked up when Kim Fox refuses to bite the bait and put an officer behind bars. Damn! Even the CC State’s Attorney’s has standards. Talley has that unit so f-cked up to the point that Fox doesn’t want any parts of her sh-t.
*heels
IAD is run by the boss club. The bosses there were meritoriously promoted by other meritoriously promoted bosses. The work hand in glove together. That’s what’s scary about the job if you aren’t in that club. You will be hung while others accused of the same thing will not. It’s been that way forever.
For Christ sake if the Cook County State’s Attorney stated that evidence was too “insufficient” for her to charge a Chicago Police Officer, that should’ve been a clear indication to refrain from making an arrest. She’s in charge of the ASA’s in misdemeanor and felony court, and insufficient evidence is insufficient evidence it doesn’t matter which courtroom it’s in.
Yes, but when it comes to property damage officers should only sign complaints when there’s damage to government, city and state supported property. Citizens sign complaints when it comes to their personal/ private property. They don’t have to pursue criminal charges. Just like officers don’t typically tow vehicles or write tickets on private property. The property owner has to hire a private tow companies to tow vehicles from his lot, unless the vehicle is being towed as evidence involving a major crime. Remember this incident is involving a misdemeanor charge and private property damages don’t get it confused with other charges.
Nieves is going to be the end of some pretty bad people.
When it comes to making an arrest, the Superintendent would be better off reaching out to a WOL because they approve arrest charges each day. The personnel in Legal Affairs haven’t made an arrest in years, if ever. They are clueless clout babies. They’re just trying to protect their spots. Especially, Sgt. O’Brien.
Are you kidding? O’Malley is as corrupt as all of them. General counsel is there to simply assist in the coverups. They are all political appointments.
I just don’t understand how this is even possible? How are these people still employed? The level of corruption is unbelievable. Not one state or federal agency is looking into this? Media? Any other legitimate agency would have demoted them at the very least.
One less Chief candidate, don’t you get it? Until someone puts a stop to it, it will continue. Get rid of Waller and E. Johnson’s influence and maybe it will get slightly better.
More corruption

Meanwhile, C0PA and the Dept attempt to separate some officers who only broke policy and committed zero criminal acts. Make it make sense.
Maybe the victim didn’t sign complaints or want to pursue the matter
Fuck off TROLL!
absolutely fucken correct
You ever hear of spike strips? We can damage property legally under correct circumstances. You ever been on a search warrant where you destroy a door?
Unfortunately, this department has a tarnished reputation and it might get better if the rid of the BIA Chief and Fred Waller.
Despite these concerns, nothing will change. Supt. Snelling’s idea of reform seemed promising from afar. However, BIA Chief and her minions has opened up the floodgate of litigation that CPD would never be able to close.
Every Superintendent puts in their own BIA Chief and underlings like Barz that control and manipulate the outcomes of investigations. Those that are clouted their files mysteriously get shuffled around and either they delay the investigations intentionally so that they reach whatever milestone they need like age 55 or they just never get investigated. Those that are not clouted or they are targeting get crucified.

If all of the BIA exempts were of a certain persuasion the rev’s and aldercreatures would be all up in arms but since they aren’t it’s aight since they ain’t white. If they were, they’d be screaming it’s the Klan. What happened to diversity?
Criminal tampering with a motor vehicle under 625 ILCS 5/4-102(a)(2), which is a misdemeanor for a first offense. Letting air out of tires would fall under this IVC statute.
Talley is with the westside politcians. The Mayor, Danny Davis and others. She isn’t going anywhere.
What some of these bosses have done to others by conducting biased and corrupt investigations is unconscionable and needs to be looked into federally. People have lost their jobs, families, livelihoods, and even their lives. Start with all of Barz’s investigations and who he fucked over for the 10 years he was there.
Exactly!!!!!!!
Tell your friend that he/ she can get it directly from the BIA Chief ‘s niece and nephew. They’ll pull up in a brand new Lexus just like Uber eats. Don’t worry they’ll use auntie’s vehicle to drop the pack off. Don’t worry because if the police pull them over, niece will give them a piece of her mind and tell them that her aunt is probably their boss. Niece and nephew will even lie to the police and give them a fake address, so that the police can hit the wrong house. Either way friend will be safe and there will be no consequences.
Nieves is going to flip over every rock and sue the shit out of them. Talley consulted with general counsel and O’Malley who is a political hack. They ok’d it without doing a proper investigation in order to dirty him up and free up another future chief spot for noblelite. Joshua Wallace got the same public humiliation minus the formal charging.
COPA would fire someone if they broke wind in the company of any protected group let alone a violation of a General Order. They make anyone at BIA look like a Saint.
They’re running this b-tch like Suge Knight and Death Row Records. We’d be better off with Barney Fife up on the 5th floor.
The OIG is as corrupt as BIA. They work for the mayor and there is nothing legit about them. They rarely conclude investigations and only do so when it is high profile or it could come back and bite them if they don’t investigate.
At this point, I’m uncertain if the personnel on the 5th floor are corrupt, incompetent or willfully ignorant. Either way it’s one thing to joke about it, but on the other hand they’re ruining lives.

I kind of figured that. She’s afraid of the retaliation. She just wants to keep her job.
Everyone is so busy blaming COPA. but the BIA is arresting officers and doing the same thing as COPA.
Different topic. Charges were also dropped for one of the offenders who intentionally aimed a car at and struck and killed a retired police officer riding his bike in Nevada 2 years ago. The judge didn't believe the offender deserved to go to prison. Maybe this offender was the passenger, but he still deserves punishment. Also, story about 2 men coming forward to say that Walz is a pedophile and abused them. Apparently, one victim can identify certain private body parts. Documentation on X.
CPD is neck to neck with the NYPD when it comes to corruption. It’s almost third world level.
This was a clear railroad of both of those officers. Watch the news report. The owner of the vehicle did not pursue nor sign any complaints and knew nothing about it. This was pushed internally, knowingly and intentionally to push out a deputy to make room for Hein’s next selection of D/C as well as Nobles next Chief. Wake up everyone wtf!!!!!
What happened to the PPP loan investigations of CPD high ranking members? The OIG is full of shit and works for the Mayor and has intentionally dragged the investigations.

They need to remove all of the criminal and serious investigative functions from CPD and find a different agency to do it. Scale BIA back to investigate the menial spars and nonsense violations.
Correct!
Bye bye Leo!
Part of the problem is that the department has historically been unable to address officer wrongdoing on its own. A 2017 US Department of Justice report called the Chicago Police Department “broadly ineffective” at detecting police misconduct within its ranks.
https://www.justice.gov/opa/file/925846/dl
The categorization is harsh, but sadly accurate.
CPD’s laundry list of corruption scandals over the years is well-documented. Some date back to the days of prohibition, when a Chicago Police Chief was discovered vacationing with a known associate of Al Capone.

IAD is full of cheaters. Barz became a Cmdr because he covered several scandals, including the infamous Williams Study Group where he gave out answers having been a subject matter expert. Yet, no one mentions the cheaters like Mills, Popeye, and others who got the answers for the Lieut Exam they took by none other than Supt Johnson. Why hasn't anyone looked into this?
Get rid of merit!! Period!
There is a special place in hell for Barz for everything he’s done to coppers over the years. Karma is a bitch Mikey. It may not be today or tomorrow but know that it will catch up to you one day. Keep telling everyone how big of jagoffs Hein and Bird are and how they’re idiots and should be dumped and that your leaving in May and don’t give a shit anymore anyway. Are you seriously that much of a mental and feel you should have been promoted? You’re lucky you ain’t in prison eating your own Blutwurst. As you sow, shall you reap, its just a matter of time.
Cant wait for the day when Talley is in her car cruising around with her niece's bf and narcos in the car!
Yeah, but remember Suge got 25 years in the joint and Snoop is runnin’ it now. Who kilt Tupac by da way cuz it wasn’t Biggie YO! Might have been the same M/F drivin’ Da Chief’s ride and I don’t mean Keefe.
You can’t mention Barz without mentioning the corrupt Retired Lt. Pettis. He’s still walking around the HQ. I saw him the other day. I wouldn’t mind his position and Dana O’ Malley’s position being two positions that they eliminate.
Barz 100% fixed it. They tried and blamed it on that Leprachan Loughran’s father in law but he simply was the intake complaint Sgt. Why do you think he rose up again like a phoenix upon Waller’s return as interim after getting demoted back then? He knows where all the bones are buried.
Saadia Carter? Nakia Fenner? Davina Ward? Parham?Pappianou? Edwards?
They did it with the Sgt.’s exam too. Y. Banks was flapping her mouth at the wrong place at the wrong time. Downtown Ernie Brown has to be turning in his grave gurl. Look at the nexus between Jonson, Waller and all of the 006th District peeps who made it. Why do you think Papiannou’s wife threw Edwards the party with the misspelled backdrop?? Cuz they “unstoppable”…
Karma is a b-tch! “You get what you give Barz.” The energy you put out into the world and into your interactions with others is the same sort of energy that will ultimately return to you.
Who do you think? Buffalo but Talley and her side kick Bruno Mars with push-up Sup’s approval.
Everyone knows it including the Feds and Attorney General but they don’t move on it.
Oh, it’ll go away but it’ll come right back with a lawsuit after what they did to those officers and parade them in the walk of shame in front of the cameras. They’re not letting that go. BIA is still calling in a favor with Copa to have them administratively charged and fired i’m hearing. Wtf
Sometimes yeah but sometimes no…
Greed, promotions and ego’s. Yes, indeed!
Barz is a pOS.
It will be handled administratively eventually.
Now that’s funny.
Not likely!
I heard a rumor from someone in the know that Chief Talley’s friends are waiting to get promoted to Deputy Chief, so she’s taking out all of their competition. They also said that they would be surprised is she didn’t tip off Iowa to embarrass a certain boss. It’s just a rumor, but there’s a lot of rumors going around Homan Square.
To the person who wanted to respond saying this would misdemeanor: then why did Kim "I hate police except when there is Rootbeer on my head" Foxx drop the charges? Really? why did a communist sh!*head who took money from Sor*ss and who hates cops to the very essence of her being drop the charges? If they had SOLID/Clear video why didnt they release it? TV stations, Tribune or Slum times would have posted it in seconds. To burn a Commander and young cop: 2fer for those type.
The head of IA has family members doing what on traffic stops in said members car and she gets no disbelief?? Come on.
NYPD coppers are some of the best if not the best. But they don’t have shit on our corrupt department. CPD is the worst. Screw you Barz you spineless liar. Railroaded so many officers unjustly
Treat this job as a temporary check. Because you never know if you’re not next on the chopping block. This isnt a marriage only a fling. ZERO LOYALTY
Here comes the Kaporis brothers. Two half wits blazing a trail of idiocy that is seen far too frequently. Another fine mess, just like Laurel and Hardy. It's all Greek to me.
Retired Lt. Chris Pettis was in the cheating study group and he also investigated the cheating scandal. They had to promote him to keep him quiet. He’s back working as a civilian at the HQ. I see him everyday and avoid him at all cost. He got away with harassing a female employee while he was a sergeant in Personnel. He tried to get us to help him harass her.
These are the DEI that were promoted over you.
DEI at its best.
A pile of sh.t.
Don’t forget Lt. Wyzinger. She ranked #1 when we took that test. I studied my ass off and paid hundreds for a study group. I was livid that year.
Exempts are out for self. They’ll use anyone and anything to get promoted.
The owner of the slingshot vehicle didn’t want to pursue charges. BIA railroaded the D/C and the officers and arrested them anyway. She’s making room for her and Hein’s DEI friends to make Deputy Chief. BIA Chief met briefly with General Council and got the okay to arrest the D/C and officers. If the owner cooperates now, it’s because he was forced.
That back door is a muthaclucka! You have to watch that back door. Keeping your eyes on the back door is mandatory. Inside jobs aka sandbagging just like the CPD.
You mean the nightmayor.
Retired here. I spit my booze out LOL! Buffalo butt, Talley, Bruno and the Supt. That Chief should list all of them individually in his suit for CBing him. That arrest is worth at least 3M.
I’m sure Kimmie called over to misdemeanor court and to the ASA to drop it like it’s hot.
Well, let’s see who makes D/C because all of the spots are open.
You mean it will be buried administratively now that they screwed it all up.
If I was O’Malley, I’d be afraid that I would lose my ARDC screwing with these idiots. A few strikes and that’s it.
Fox knows that a suit is coming behind this.
Is it too late to put the supe back in the gym?
Entitlement, incompetence, corruption and villains.
Oh, it’ll go away but it’ll come right back with a lawsuit after what they did to those officers and parade them in the walk of shame in front of the cameras. They’re not letting that go. BIA is still calling in a favor with Copa to have them administratively charged and fired i’m hearing. Wtf
——
The boss of COPA doesn’t always side with the BIA. The IG does. This is why the BIA is turning everyone against COPA.
Exempts are out for themselves. That 5th floor is working together. Today it’s Nieves, but tomorrow it could be you.
They are screwing over Whites and a few Blacks.
When it comes to making an arrest, the Superintendent would be better off reaching out to a WOL because they approve arrest charges each day. The personnel in Legal Affairs haven’t made an arrest in years, if ever. They are clueless clout babiies. They’re just trying to keep their spots.

My crackhead uncle will give the Supe better legal advice than the Legal Affairs.
My crackhead uncle would give better legal advice than Dana O’Malley and legal affairs.
This department has been tarnished and corrupt for 100 years. Every superintendent has a history and doesn't get to that position without selling his soul. Corruption will never go away in this city. Hence, it's the Chicago way.
