Suspension on Tap?

It's always the same assholes:

  • Investigators have found that a high-ranking Chicago police official should be suspended in two separate disciplinary cases — one focusing on inflammatory comments he made about Palestinians’ treatment of gay people and another hinging on the improper disclosure of juvenile criminal records to a top mayoral aide.

    In each case, the Chicago Police Department’s Bureau of Internal Affairs has recommended that Area 1 Deputy Chief Don Jerome should be suspended for 28 days.

No idea why he'd take fourteen days for saying that "palestinians" would cut the heads off of gay people - they do it all the time and post pictures on social media....if they aren't throwing them off of buildings that is. Just because the truth is uncomfortable doesn't make it not the truth.

The other fourteen days are more deserved - handing off juvenile records to one of the eight "deputy mayors" - but that's what political animals do when told to by other political animals. When told to jump, they ask, "How high...and should I whistle while I do it?" If Don didn't provide the demanded material, they'd find someone who would provide it and put them in Don's spot.

Don was hired in 1994, so he's maxed out - odds are that he leaves before missing two paychecks.

Don is a policeman. This is absolute nonsense. A 30 year working cop who tells the truth. Shame on BIA -

I know Jerome has his share of fans and haters, but I'll just throw my experience with him into the mix. He showed up to two of my jobs while he was a Lt, and the shitheads immediately went running to him to cry about how I wasn't handling their situation properly. He, not really knowing much about me as a newer officer to the district, completely backed everything I did, and made it clear that those whiny shitheads were in the wrong and would be even less happy with how he would handle things if they didn't like how I was handling it. I appreciated the backup, support, and confidence he showed. It's what you'd expect and hope for when a supervisor shows up to your job, but not always what you get. I hope this all works out for him, and wish him well in the future.

Not sticking up for the guy, but,
He’s a gold star. Deputy Mayor asks for something, are you going to tell him “no sir, he’s a juvenile, we can’t do that.”?

Sorry to say, but he’s outlived his usefulness to the Department.

He is maxed out for time but is he maxed out at deputy chief pay? If he is then he goes. If not then he’ll take the 28 day hit on the chin, make that up and then retire. Question is what “qualified” person will get his spot?

Doubt it.

He’s another power hungry narcissist at his core, as evidenced by how he routinely conducts himself. An egomaniac thru and thru.

Whether muslims hating and murdering gays being common knowledge isn’t the point. Knowing your audience and conducting yourself appropriately IS the point. Especially on this job. And especially in the capacity of the rank of commander.

DJ KNEW his audience that night consisted of that sergeant. He should’ve kept his big mouth shut. But not only could he not do that, he went out of his way to antagonize and try to intimidate the sergeant afterwards. He should’ve immediately been demoted to civil service rank of lieutenant for that stunt.

And how quickly people forget this is the same dickbag who went ghetto, posing for a selfie with some hood rat at one of the many Mexican parades, reportedly exchanging phone numbers with her as she hung out of the bed of a pickup truck. THAT is how a commander of police is supposed to act?

People also forget he was instrumental in helping Eddie Johnson out of a slam dunk DUI. Glad he caught days for that disgusting display of corruption. He should’ve been demoted for THAT debacle, but yet remained in his position.

So while I’m not alone in wishing we could bid “good riddance” to this sorry excuse of a “leader”, I predict he ain’t going anywhere. I hope that I’m wrong.

I remember him helping a patrolman get out of a similar beef years ago when he was a Sgt.in 019. Know that it’s not just other bosses that he has helped out over the years.

If he drops down to Captain now, he as to give 30 days notice to get the "Age 55 to 59 Insurance deal". That would put him past 31 December meaning it's too late. He would have to wait til 01 May to get the deal.

Remember, white shirts only get the deal 01 May through 31 Dec with 30 days notice.

I have so many questions. Which deputy mayor. Because just like deputy chiefs, we have several of them. So the Deputy mayor didn’t come to his aid? Isn’t the Deputy Mayor some sort of a boss? Isn’t he just under the mayor? Isn’t the Deputy Mayor in charge of public safety? I mean, was it a work related inquiry, personal inquiry or what? I’m almost certain that I’ve seen DJ and other exempts, on scenes, speaking at press conferences with Aldermen, the mayor, the Deputy Mayor and Glen Brooks, about shootings involving juveniles and adults. They usually huddle and then address the crowd. I’ve always thought that they were sharing information while huddling, before speaking to the crowd. So are you telling me that DJ can do press conferences and share information with the public, but he can’t share information with the Deputy Mayor who is in charge of Community Safety, and who also has PR people on hand before he speaks to the public. Wasn’t the Deputy mayor sworn in and bound by the same ethical principles as the CPD? Damn this department!!!

Up until Capt, Don JeROMEO was a copper’s cop. Unfortunately once he made Commander and during the SCAMdemic where coppers refused to be subjected to that poison jab (“my body - my choice”), and where he along with ALL the other Exempts, instead of defending and sticking up for the troops who refused the jab, this greedy puppet was at HQ intimidating Coppers that the poison jab was required and if refused he was ordering coppers to sign papers then sending them to personnel to turn in star and shield stripping them of their police powers. It was then we knew he fucked up and lost respect of all those coppers who actually thought he was one of the last decent bosses. He turned out to be just another weasel merit hack. Maybe he can be like the handful of weasel bosses who retire, then run to newspapers pretending to be supportive of coppers and bad mouth the city and dept but at no time while they held their white shirt position stood up for working coppers or stood up to city and dept while being employed. Retire already Playa!

I applied for a unit and was denied due to an open CR# I was told. Also I couldn’t even attend an award ceremony with my team because of same open CR #. Double standards and BIA doesn’t have a consistent disciplinary system.

I was present and I’m a white male supervisor. I’m disgusted that a Deputy Chief would act like this and say ignorant and offensive shit (true or not) and put all that were present in that situation. Oh and FYI, the Sgt. didn’t initiate this Donny boy did.

Disseminating juvenile confidential records is nothing? He’s lucky he wasn’t charged. Don Ho will be gone blowing Tiny Bubbles in his pool before end of the year. They will back date his date to ensure he gets his insurance. It’s the Chicago Way!

Don was a Tac Sgt. In 25 and stirred up the pot often but was a decent guy with a big mouth, saying things without any thought. Tore down a monument for a gangbanger shot by the police and caused quite a stir with the Puerto Rican community.

I was handling the job the way I should have. I had no desire to be his friend or drinking buddy, had zero interaction with him aside from those two jobs he showed up at, and none of the rest of your stupid rant has any relevance to anything I said. No complaint was generated from either set of shitheads, and no request for supervisor was made. He showed up because he was nearby and wanted to help, as shown by what he did. I appreciated it, which is why I made the above post. Save your rant for someone else.

Yes, and his employer has the right to discipline him for making his opinion known the way he did. He's not being thrown in jail for it. Freedom of speech isn't freedom from consequences. It's just freedom from the government punishing you or preventing you from stating your opinion. Do you really not know how the Constitution works? It's not an employee handbook.

You’re kidding, right? You’re prevented by State law, GO, and common sense from providing this information to someone outside of an investigation and for a lawful purpose and not to a two bit politician. It pisses the shit out of me that we provide information-including names of any persons involved or only named, think witnesses on a case report- to an alderman’s office when that’s always been a good place to hire local gang bangers.

1st watch 009. last time regarding Eddie Johnson. Jerome was never on the scene and he took time for not disciplining a Lt. who sent him the bwc Refused to discipline the Lt. because of the extraordinary circumstances and said it is what it is make the notifications. very few bosses would have done that Tally hit job because they can find nothing else on him. Christ, he doesn’t even drink. Rant over.

It’s well documented that department has been led astray for some time now. It’s also known that most of you have set quietly and have watched innocent members get wronged by this department. You said and did nothing. But now that your clout is taking a bite of the shit sandwich, you’ve decided to protest. Granted, most of us are aware that Jerome is nothing more than a loud mouth idiot, and just like 80% of the other Exempts, he should have never been promoted. He’s careless, flirtatious and he has been an embarrassment to officers while on deployment details. The thing that most refuse to acknowledge is that the expectations that Jerome has built of being “untouchable” has led to a letdown. I’m almost certain that the punishment along is not the main issue here for Jerome. It’s the hypocrites that’s handed down the punishment. It’s the hypocrisy within the decision makers. It’s the two-faced double dealers. It’s the sneaky colleagues that have purposely misrepresented and misled this department. It’s the other hypocrites hiding behind a gold star and the IAD flunkies hiding behind the keyboard. It had to be troublesome to know that individuals that have done way worse than you sat down at a table and sign off your punishment.

Commander Don Jerome knows corruption and politricks. He was the same prick that assisted Deputy Chief Snelling and Deputy Chief Talley with stripping hardworking, union officers that refused to allow an unknown substance to be be inject into their bodies at the demand of the mayor. He proudly carried out the task. He smiled for the camera when Fop Rep. snapped his photo. The dirty work led to Jerome getting promoted to Deputy Chief, LS getting promoted to Chief and Talley getting promoted to Chief of BIA.

This is 100% correct! Do you think any other non connected supervisor would have a total of three twenty eight day suspensions and still keep their spot?
I applied for a unit and was denied due to an open CR# I was told. Also I couldn’t even attend an award ceremony with my team because of same open CR #. Double standards and BIA doesn’t have a consistent disciplinary system.
This is Waller covering up through corrupt Talley. Waller is the head of the snake. Cut it off and get rid of him and the rest will fall. Until then the corruption will continue.

Three 28 day suspensions? How did he get promoted in the first place? What is Dana O’Malley doing besides eating. Who runs the disciplinary history prior to promotions. I thought that MLAS and Legal Affairs had to clear candidates before they are promoted. I thought that they check with the IG’s office and the Law Department before they promote. I haven’t been gone that long.

I had a DUI in 009 years ago, far west end of the district, illegal alien rolled his car over while drunk. DJ was first on scene and helped the illegal out of the car . Wrote the guy for 501 but when it came to court since I personally didn’t see him driving they needed DJ to testify that he saw the driver physically behind the wheel. He refused to come to court even after multiple attempts by the ASAs. Lost the case and the guy still probably driving drunk out there. DJ is a great cop but his arrogance hurts him sometimes.
