No More Horses?

A rumor popping up here and there that Conehead wants to get rid of the Mounted Unit.

Does this have something to do with the real estate around the South Shore Cultural Center? Is someone from the Sparklefart Library looking to open a hotel in the area? 

Or yet another shortsighted penny-pinching effort to "balance the budget" via defunding?

not exactly true. it is a proposal by his budget working group to save a few million by eliminating the mounted unit. it is a proposal and will be part of the proposed cpd budget that snelling is going to submit next month to bj. however it is subject to negotiation w/ the bargaining unit. in order for us to agree to that we would need something sizable in return

Just another unit of clout cry babies working short days. There was some kinda drama within the unit that brought all kinda of undue attention on it. CRs on the supervisors that had bosses looking at them. Drinking parties in the courtyard with a DUI on an involved Sergeant. When you have it good, enjoy it. Coppers ruin it for themselves all the time. Don’t feel sorry for them. Jump in a beat car and answer some calls.

In 2 months NYC mayoral candidate Zohran “Commie” Mamdani will most likely be elected mayor. He like BLM Brandon are Marxists who want to defund the police and replace them with other programs. It will be interesting to see the contest between these two as how many taxpayers and businesses they will drive out of their cities. The financial industry already has plans to move if Commie Mamdani gets elected.

They use to be very useful back in the day in old times and leadership , but if you came on within the past 5 years when was the last time you saw the horses being deployed for a protest or a large crowd . Before you would see them at Sox , Bulls , Cubs game , Navy pier , air show etc out and about ready to assist with any issues that may arise .

Now you see them only at National night out or a park or school event .

so back to districts and push a beat car

O/T: A poster previously asked, “Who runs the department?”
Chief of Staff/ Dana O’Malley, another John Marshall Law School graduate, that once worked for Howard & Futterman Law Firm as a “civil rights” attorney.

Craig Futterman is a University of Chicago law professor who was one of the attorneys that represented the plaintiffs in the consent decree lawsuit against the city, after the LaQuan McDonald incident gained the spotlight. Craig Futterman is also a clinical Professor of Law at the University of Chicago Law School and a Resident Dean in the College. He founded and has served as the Director of the Civil Rights and Police Accountability Project of the UIC Mandel Law Help Clinic that helped to get Officer Jason Van Dyke convicted. He also helped to put the spotlight on the LaQuan McDonald incident, So basically, Dana O’Malley was an implant that was hired to clean up the department.

She currently interacts with the consent decree monitors on behalf of the department and holds the consent decree over the Supe’s head. Her former boss (Futterman) was one of the attorneys that represented the plaintiff in the consent decree lawsuit against the city. He’s one of the individuals responsible for the department having consent decree.

So basically, when O’Malley came to the department, she interviewed on the notion that she was all for fighting for “civil rights”, more police accountability and breaking the code of silence within the department. Her political connections and dad’s coattail are the reasons that law students/ attorneys on the job, and many others kiss her a-s.

Futterman (https://www.law.uchicago.edu/clinics/mandel/police) of the Mandel Legal Aid Clinic since 2000.

During the Bulls riots, the communist/ANTIFA protests and the Cubs World Series, our mounted unit was always a welcome sight. That beautiful 2000-pounds of muscle and hooves were and are the best crowd control. In reality our mounted unit should be expanded not eliminated. But here we are...the city is bankrupt and over $1.2 billion in debt. Wowie! Let's continue with more Clown World policing. {Honk Honk}

Marquette Park in late 80’s the Nazis had a rally there. Now I know you are thinking Blues Brothers, but it really happened. We were given box lunches so we wouldn’t leave the park. The lunch included an apple, which many of us fed to the horses until the riders had to tell us no more apples.
Beautiful animals and a really nice aspect to display for the department.

They were once helpful during downtown protests and parades. They can get around traffic quicker, especially during rush hour. They were used to form scrimmage lines and to move crowds. Once the horses moved forward, the crowd moves back. The horses will step on anyone in its way and kick the hell out of anyone standing behind it and get away with it. No one wanted to hurt the horses, although a kick from a horse can break a bone. Well since we’ve become the warm and fuzzy police, I guess we no longer need horses.

Right now, the horses are being kept at the South Shore Cultural Center which is also near the Jackson Park golf course. Both are on Chicago Park District Property. Since ther’s talk about Conehead considering getting rid of the South Shore cultural center, I guess the horses have to go as well.

With all due respect, your job does not have the kind of pressure ours does. And policing (despite what the liberal media tried selling you in 2020) isn’t a job you can just eliminate. You will always need officers. Thus you need a reason to entice young healthy people to sign up for this circus and a pension is the biggest carrot this job has.

Some really drunk guy went up and slapped a horses ass and the horse turned around and bit his ass. That was followed up by a beat down.

I like the horses myself but it’s time to get with the times. Get rid of that unit. Sell the horses to a reputable company or farmers. Put those officers and supervisors back in districts where they are needed more. It’s time to make major changes due to budget issues and manpower issues.
Major cuts needs to happen to all inside position.

Also the union needs to get us street officers hazard pay. Street officers should be making more money than someone working inside.

What if I suggested that both those ideas were wrong? What if it is just as simple as: the mounted unit is a positive display of law enforcement? I know I will get booed for this opinion, but every kid and most adults see an officer on a horse and it is generally a positive image of law enforcement. They do parades, they do ceremonies, and yes they do actual police work - but that's not what the public associates with them. So what I'm saying is - maybe he would be getting rid of them simply because they are a positive image and his entire schtick is "police=bad".

The second-ranking Chicago police official is retiring next month after just seven months on the job.

First Deputy Supt. Yolanda Talley, the first Black woman to hold the position, will retire Oct. 15 after 30 years at the Chicago Police Department, according to a statement from the department


Talley was previously embroiled in a bizarre incident involving a drug bust that centered around her personal vehicle. She wasn’t there, but her niece was driving her Lexus when a man was caught tossing heroin from the car in February 2022.

An investigation by Inspector General Deborah Witzburg’s office didn’t find that Talley had broken any rules.

I worked for the shitty in the 80s and 90s and would set up lights and barricades for planned riots. The rent a mobs are not afraid of a phalanx of armed troops but dogs and horses make them MOVE ! Due to historical actions in the south with place dogs they were sidelined decades ago. The horses work, therefore they are not allowed in government supported riots. It's a shame, and as many have said, you have a billion for the invaders, cut that shit out first. Put on the ballot I think alot of blue hairs would vote to dump sanctuary shitty. Never understood how a minor local politician could declare federal law null and void in their personal little feifdom . Pigster was furious when 96 sheriff's refused to enforce his illegal gun grab and announced they must enforce the laws as written. Hippocrit of the highest order.

1988. Last nazi rally in Marquette Park. Put out on foot at 71st and Sacramento for the barricades north into the park. Traffic honking, cheers and boos coming from the treeline on my north. Large group of bikers going west, they look at all the saw horses, I smile and shake my head no. They go a little more west, then suddenly, as a group, they go over the curb north onto the east end of the soccer field. They dismount, open saddle bags or whatnot, and begin to throw good size rocks, trying to get them over the tree line! I put it on my radio, not being able to know if I was heard, while a line of mounted police with helmeted riders comes south, single file, out of the treeline, at least a dozen horses.Now stretching south along the west end of the soccer field as their Sgt. gives an bullhorn order of " left echelon turn !". The mounted police all turn east at the same time, the horses stop, now all individually facing the bikers. Wow!!! While the Sgt gets his bullhorn, some horses winny, some paw the ground and a couple snort.
The Sgt orders the bikers off the field and out of the park, his orders met by what you would expect from the bikers. The Sgt speaks to his left and right and the face shields come down. He then orders "draw batons" and the longer riot sticks (30" ?) are now in the freehand of the riders. On the next order they move slowly east toward the bikers, who are silent, pensive and seemingly amazed. What ever the next order was the horses went into a "trot", and it was at this point you had biker mayhem as they mounted their Harleys and quickly exited eastbound on 71st.. Couldn't talk to horse guys as they went pack for more from where they came from. But one of the drunks from across the street was desperate to tell me his joke. "If I had known dis was gonna happen, I would a put something down on this race!!"

The first day of Trump’s first term the left were protesting his presidency at the Wabash Street bridge apparently wanted to gain access to the Trump tower. After a big push multiple subjects made their way towards the horses. The horses were ready to say the least. They were standing on their rear legs and kicking in the direction of the hard charging nitwits. All of those protesters ran back to the others and continued to rant and scream in our faces that we were nothing but a bunch of fascists. So for those of you that are questioning the need for the horses think again. They aren’t just for pageantry, they saved our asses that evening and gained my respect after seeing their effectiveness.

As a young naĂŻve po in the 70's, working days (when most of us rotated) I asked my Capt (who was the WC then) if I could go to 11th & State at 1000hrs. He asked why. I explained I applied for some new unit and they wanted to talk to me. He asked who's my guy. I replied, "You?" He laughed and said it will be a good experience for me. Then he explained, "When they tell you to meet 'em in the back of Mr Pat's, and they all have menus hiding their faces, it's a real interview." He was 100% correct.

The unit was strictly phone call when I was there years back. Impossible to complete the training unless a boss called in a favor. Guys were cut 3 months in for “falling off the horse” while others graduated no problem. At the time Bauer(RIP) was the commander. Has anything changed or is the sham selection and training still the same?
