Scandal(s) in Waiting

Just wondering, but how many times is a former high ranking exempt's son going to be stripped and sent to Callback for domestic after domestic, year after year before he faces the Police Board for a Thirty Pending hearing?

Bookmark this post, because one day sonny is going to kill someone and people might start asking why there weren't any warning signs.

There were plenty.

Sorry. OT:

Turns out Burke's wife "Justice Burke" was at Park District Headquarters yesterday meeting with one of the political hacks that work there.

I wonder what kind of scam is being cooked up now that this dirtbag has been sprung out of the joint ???

If you work for a mismanaged, scandal ridden organization that promotes idiots, doesn't allow you to do your job properly, and targets you if you do, resign if you have the balls, or brains. If you can't, best luck.

This department doesn't really know how to avoid problems in it's near future does it? Whoever is making the calls, or being told to make the "right call" is wrong almost 100 percent of the time.
Leadership, (I use the term loosely) needs an enema...All that yassabossing downtown in the ivory tower has made us look weak and pathetic.
It doesnt take a genius to see this. Are we going to enforce the laws on the books, or just pretend that we are?

If this is true did anyone or any news organization ask the Department or City why the test wasn’t held when he was at the academy and why it was later reinstated….seems pretty straightforward..why didn’t the FOP hold a press conference on this?

The CPD has always had a tradition of protecting the connected no matter what. When you’re just a regular “nobody” you definitely know this and have to live an honest life or you will suffer the consequences. The connected don’t have this worry.

Taking care of the off spring of the exempts has been going on forever. Less than a year on and assigned to a federal task force, DEA or FBI. Sent to the Intelligence Unit, Vice Control, Narcotics or some special nobody knows about unit and within a couple of years hit the promotion parade. Scandalous, yes, new idea, nope.

Before dawn on a Friday June, 2019 Edward Burke Jr. was arrested at his home in Winnetka after a family member told police he pushed her and authorities reported finding him “highly intoxicated” and “belligerent.”

But by the end of the next business day, the domestic battery charge had been dropped.

The swift reversal occurred after the accused man — the son of Edward Burke, Chicago’s longest-serving alderman who is now charged with attempted extortion — managed to get his case before a Cook County judge, apparently without the assistance of an attorney and despite the fact he wasn’t due in court for another week.

The arrest occurred two months after Edward Burke Jr. resigned from a job his father helped him get in Cook County’s Homeland Security and Emergency Management Department. The junior Burke landed the position after his father spoke to County Board President Toni Preckwinkle, and despite the fact that Burke Jr. was under investigation on allegations he made inappropriate sexual comments to co-workers at his prior job in the Cook County sheriff’s office, the Tribune has revealed. A Preckwinkle official said her office

That’s a fucked up comment. What are you a 1985 hire with no education besides some lame high school? And let me guess I’ll wager this was your first job with benefits and a steady paycheck that was given to you because your pops was a Democratic Party precinct captain who worked as a truck driver for streets and sanitation.. Son O will bet you have never worked out of a district. Last question. Tell me who was this mythical super superintendent that had balls etc etc? Last I knew the CPD was ran by a chief of staff from the 5th floor, Signed - Last of ThE Fillmore Police.

There's zero question. He couldn't pass it, so they decided no one had to pass it until he finished the academy. Keith Calloway was Deputy Chief of the academy while junior Johnson was unable to pass the test, so they changed the rules for him. Then Johnson's daddy made Calloway Chief of Internal Affairs. Now Calloway is in charge of ILETSB, for the ultimate irony. Ignore/change the "standards" for your friend's kid, get promoted, then get a cushy retirement spot deciding those same standards.

I remember the Fat Man Michael Barz bought me in his Tac office, and in essence said, all this can be yours (through merit) if you bow down and worship me. It could all be done because he was, and I quote, friends with local Chicago Police deity Fred Waller. I refused and told him I'm a Christian man. That girthy snake made a lot of promises to a lot of people in the name of Fred. Anyway Jesus gave me the promotion I always wanted but Fred couldn't save Fat Man Barz from getting dumped twice.

He gave him a kidney A YEAR BEFORE he graduated from the academy. Which part of the POWER test says you get an exemption for medical issues? Which part says the test can be scrapped because ONE PERSON can't pass it? If you claim it was only for the FINAL POWER TEST, how was he able to pass the several POWER tests he would've had to pass prior to that? You're really trying to legitimize this corruption by saying "well they let everyone skip it, so it's fine?" They did that to avoid having it look even more like a special exemption made for a connected hire, which is exactly what it was.
