Um...What Now?
Rumors all over yesterday's "FOP Shitshow" post, including this one:
Interesting bit of info from an insider… Duckhorn, who was handpicked by Gorman to be on the 3 person panel to hear JCats charges not only recused himself from that role, HE RECUSED HIMSELF FROM HIS ELECTED TRUSTEE POSITION ALTOGETHER. This was in addition to last month’s board meeting where he abstained from voting on how deep to look into the finances.
There’s gotta be a very good reason he’s walking away from the trough he’s been hitting for years at $800/month to do pretty much nothing. He was reportedly overheard stating something along the lines of “I had no choice, I’m too old to go to jail” in a sidebar discussion upon exiting (voices carry in that courtyard, Daddy Duck… learn to use your inside voice).
FOP is slowing imploding and the rats are starting to jump ship to save themselves. We’ll have to wait to see exactly who all talked to whoever is doing the investigation. Funny how the old timers seem to be the ones most nervous (right, Rick King?) when they’re always the ones always talking smack about “fuck the Feds, you ain’t gotta tell them shit” etc etc.
Any verification?
Has someone flipped?
What the Hell is going on over there?

Is he related to the complete jagoff duckhorn terrorizing 3rd watch in 001? Can’t get a decent boss in this place.
It’s ok though he spoke up for us on YouTube videos….clowns
I’m just spitballing here, but Wire Fraud, Conspiracy to Commit Wire Fraud, Embezzlement, and lastly Perjury would make anyone flip to stay even out of minimum security facility.
Not for nothing but Dan is a great guy. Shit on this post all you want but he’s helped with grievances and has been on top of his game with arbitration hearings. Has personally helped me out on numerous occasions (not by choice but rather for working). I’m not on a “tack-tickle” team and have no skin in the FOP game at all but have seen for myself that Gorman is fighting for Officers. Say what you want but Dan did his job at the union that I no longer pay in to.
No… not signed Dan Gorman for all you trolls.
Signed,
-Helped by Dan Gorman
True story… all of this is going on.
And what’s weird is The Law of Unintended Consequences has gone full tilt. I’ve had the nervous shits and loss of appetite since all of this has started and I’m shredding pounds like King John shredded his FOP credit cards.
"What the Hell is going on over there?"
Could this be another manifestation of the Trump Effect?
My girl Piñata told me she got whistled-in by the Feds for her fraudulent PPP loan and they’re offering her a break if “she sings” about what she knows. Makes me wonder exactly how much I blabbed about in that hot tub.
I have a friend of 40 years who works for a not-to-be-named federal agency who has first hand knowledge that there’s been a years long ongoing investigation into FOPs spending. Wait til you hear (in due time) where there’s been listening devices hid 🤣🤣. I woulda never thought of the one place, but it makes perfect sense 🌭🍔
This one is the dumbest of of all. John Dineen is stepping down as parliamentarian and Duck is taking his place. Duck isn’t giving up any money. He also the parliamentarian for the state fop.
The money should be used for hardworking troops 9161 and 9165.
The arrogance! Each time I visit the FOP office, someone in the office shows attitude, from girlfriend at the front desk to Jak. But now their a-ses are running. Don’t run now.
Many talked badly about the officer that opted to get out of Union. I actually think the kid was on to something.
He will still go to jail if he’s complicit
I can't confirm nor deny, but Rob did say he records the meetings. But I thought I heard him say something about family and health.
It shows us that the Feds have already been talking to the FOP7 members. And remember lying to a FBI agent is a criminal offense. So if you say one thing that conflicts with your prior statements FBI can charge you.
And with embezzlement charges being mentioned. Anyone who had knowledge of the criminal acts and refusing to cooperate can be charged with conspiracy in the crimes?
Looks like there must be an in depth investigation on the fraud charges. And when the Feds want to talk to anyone they are doing it away from the Main offices. And it is putting these members on the hot seats?
Next thing that will be surrender is the FOP7 vehicles? They are rolling phone booths. And easy to bug, just like the offices are. So be careful speaking with anyone from the Union on the phone?
Will carolynn c get the field rep position if true about Mike being fired by john
That guy was a stroke 30 years ago.
Tik tok Johnny they have all been turning on you.
I support John 100%. Because he is constantly fighting the liberals. John is not afraid of anyone. Last week he went to the mayor's house and made a YouTube video. Keep fighting for us John.
here's another one how does a guy who filed for bankruptcy on a condo in 2019 then buys a house for 460k cash in 2025 from his friend jcrap you have a lot of explaining to do to the IRS FBI and US Attorney office of Northern Illinois
I've worked/helped Gorman when he was in Area 1. He was a working detective. I've seen him help officers at the FOP. He seems to be the only one doing his job. I know multiple officers who would say the same thing. He's personally helped officers I supervised. Obviously I don't pay into the FOP either.
Duckhorn on the other hand is a joke and scam artist. I actually worked with him in the 90's. Total do nothing who doesn't deserve the pension he's collecting. Duckhorn didn't back up his fellow officers and was too busy on union business (hiding) everyday to even answer one call. Completely worthless!!!!
Signed,
I've been on the job too damn long!!!
I will believe all of this when I see it. I think this is just smoke and mirrors and much ado about nothing.
Sadly his legacy will be his wrong doings
Yup father and son. What a pair
Yet he is complicit. Either he participated in, or turned a blind eye to johns shenanigans. Guilty
Your being robbed, are you all to dumb to see that? Why are still paying dues?
Duckhorn is in his late 70s and still can leave the FOP because he needs the money. What a complete loser!
I agree with your post. I was denied representation by the FOP and appealed. Dan Gorman fought for me during the appeal process.
Because of his actions, my 45 day suspension was ultimately knocked down to 15 days.
He must have read Hillary Clintons book!
No, she didn’t get enough votes. Look at the vote tally sheet and go from there.
In our new food truck...Please say it isn't so, all those wonderful (gristly, chewy beef sandwiches).
"WE" FOP members should get compensated for some of the fraud thats been going on..like spending OUR money on useless pictures, personal trips, food, etc. Time to pay us back JRAT!
Just saying.
J-Cat HAD to get into bed with Jelly Belly in some way to get the Tier 2 pension issue fixed.
In the final days of legislation in May, HE WAS down in Springfield rolling in the mud with those scum Democrats. Just ask Mette.
When you roll in the mud, you're going to get dirty.
Dear John, you need a lawyer, the lodge doesn’t need protection. Every single board member who retroactively approved your spending that went over the previously approved amount should probably get one too. Mike missed the installation dinner that was approved for 10K to celebrate your victory at the Marriott Marquis. You know the one where you went 10K plus over the approved amount for the party? Then you went back to the board and told them you needed approval for the additional funds you already spent? The party they and their families ate and drank like kings and queens? The one DiSanti said you got a deal on because you were talking to them about using them for the host hotel for the conference you didn’t have a chance in hell in winning? You spent on a a victory dinner what some people spend on weddings. So easy to live a gypsy lifestyle when you are spending someone else’s money. Wonder what the 3 squares the government will provide. Restricting the books was your first mistake. Innocent people don’t try to hide what they are doing. I cannot wait for the cult to see the evidence. They somehow still believe in you. Very soon they will look stupid. Tik Tok kitty your time is almost up!
003 has not had a decent boss since Mike Alexander.
Yes. Lil Nicky we don’t want to hear you crying that Hein dumped you from your unit anymore. Goof
Ok, I’m not saying it’s not happening but I really have doubts that the FBI is investigating the FOP. Do they really give a shit about a union? If they did the CTU should have been investigated decades ago.
So if they do the job we elect and pay them to do, it's ok for them to steal from us? Got it.
Should have known that loud mouth drunk wasn't giving up a check.
Where's our painting?
Duckhorn has been mooching off the union for at least 30 years that I know of.
His Lieutenant son attends OUR FOP convention, how is possible?
Arrogant prick too
Union = Thieving politicians. I can fight for myself! Bust em up Trump!
He He He…
Craparelli must be shitting a brick. He’s been involved forever.
Whats the skinny on Graham? Seems like a decent guy.
To old to go to jail..? Mike Madigan and Ed Burke were heard laughing...Lets replace the entire board. First an interim 1 year board, then elect another round of political wannabes. We need to purge these assholes from our midst. Give everyone the stink eye. No second term.
This embarrassment made national news. Vote wisely people.
So.trolls are bad?
Well. If you mean, Democrats are the “ party of labor (unions)”. And unions, for all the good that they have done in the past, have donated and backed Democrats for far too long. Union LEADERS AND Democrat politicians are incestuous whores. Then, yes, the Trump Effect is appropriate.
I missed the meeting , what they have for lunch?
Chicago is so openly corrupt even the cops got caught.Cops never get caught?
That kid was just too cheap to pay the dues. Don’t make it seem as if it was some moral stand he was taking.
We need to get Julius Givens back in the union and vote him in as president of the fop
The topic of FOP business aside, you’re saying you have a life long friend (40 yrs) who shared something with you in private and you ran here to the blog to post it. You’re a great friend- what a POS.
Pat Duckhorn is his father, yes.
John Dineen is very old and frail and can’t do the job anymore- and Duckhorn was tired of being a board member. There are several more retired board members who will not be running again and they’ve said as much due to their age.
Unassuming Quiet Guy In the Corner
I have a friend of 40 years who works for a not-to-be-named federal agency who has first hand knowledge that there’s been a years long ongoing investigation into FOPs spending. Wait til you hear (in due time) where there’s been listening devices hid 🤣🤣. I woulda never thought of the one place, but it makes perfect sense 🌭🍔
Hey there "unASSuming quiet guy", you are telling us that your Fed friend briefed you about an active investigation and filled you in on listening device locations? Mighty nice of you to give the targets a heads up.
I agree ☝️
I love it. I think this is hillarious. I hope those fuckers get their just deserve
There were some great bosses in 001 until DH got there and chased them all away! Took him a couple years but he went through 7 bosses?
Probably the biggest imbecile Lt in the city.
DiSanti & Cosentino should share a cell with JRat.
Pay attention and follow the bouncing ball. This has nothing to do with liberals, rather a thief in our house. If you want to remain in support of him that's on you. Let the investigation go where it will.

Its called the 'RICO ACT' mandatory 10 years
Lot of pissing and moaning u guys sound like the guys at the OTB. Het let me buy u a pack of gum show u how to chew it.
Boy.. youre really buying this hook, line and sinker. This is all nonsense. Read the beef.
Thanks for bringing on more embarrassment to the department. Only a few good men there.
Catanzara is a thief..Stop gargling his balls..
Yep!!!
SEISER for President.
The guy knows how to run it!
Let’s go…
There’s nothing skinny about Graham. A fat useless turd as a PO and even more useless now.
At September’s General Meeting, King John claimed to have recently met and had lunch with Donald Trump Jr. Said that Junior told him (paraphrasing) that “POTUS likes what we’re doing”.
Our Fact Checkers determined that was a LIE. King John and some of the Catanzara Cabal may have attended a Trump rally in Barrington, but Jr. says he never met personally or dined with Johnny Boy.
Now let’s see if Recording Suckretary Rob No-See-DUH amends his transcribed notes and recording of that portion of the President’s Report like he’s done in the past.
Tip and clue for Rob… you’re not the only one rolling tape during these meetings 🤫
STFU Governor Pritzker....
I think it is far past time that we went down to the lodge hall with pitchforks and torches. I know a farmer that can sell us some roofing tar, and a barrel of feathers...Lets pick a day!
Another shit show here look at this what the jelly belly governor has been doing read in here how Pension benefits so we underfunded with the city doing what they do in the state I don’t know boys and girls how it’s gonna look if we’re gonna sue them we’re gonna have to get in line we need a forensic guard immediately the mayor and governor need to go to jail immediately do not go directly to jail
https://www.illinoispolicy.org/illinois-taxpayers-each-owe-38800-for-states-unpaid-bills/
Duck Fuckhorn.
Times 2…
All John did was make it worse for the Pension tier 2 knew what it was gonna be and now John screwed that up. Also wonder how much he got paid
we need danny trevino to run the fop a is a great person n police officer
I disagree, if it’s true he’s involved, duckhorn is not too old to go to prison. In fact, I think he’s the perfect age. Retires and then hangs around the FOP to rob current active members? Fuck’em, let him die in prison. And his son is a grade A jagoff too. Something about apples and trees? Whole family seems to be useless shitbags.
This is just the think that Conehead wants to happen. He can point to the lodge and say "Look all police are crooked". Bad timing by the feds to give Conehead this fuel.
If the CTU wasn’t full blown Democrats , maybe they Would have been investigated. But don’t hold your breath on that to happen.
Being over generous in expenses for dinners and trips is not a crime and would not get any Federal attention. Embezzlement is a crime when taking company money for personal use. I call BS on all of these rumors and that is what they are rumors. Have the audit and if board members have been being too generous then vote them out. This rumor mill is bad for the union and bad for the image of the department, if it can actually get any worse. I seriously doubt that there have been any court ordered listening devices or law enforcement investigations. Wishful thinking on the part of detractors and jealous individuals.
Boy are you stupid. I won’t explain the reasoning to that statement, but rather you need to reflect on your limited common sense and pitiful policing skills and try to figure it out.
How long do you think it took John’s sycophants monitoring SCC to send DiSanti out to the food trailer with his Radio Shack “bug detector” to do a sweep? 😂🤣
At least they replaced a retiree with an active member. What a joke.
001 has the worst supervisors
ED house mouse whole career
AR another caps allstar
CC "Sexual harassment" beefer
and RG on 3w is a goof
jcat was a sh-t nothing patrolman who used to cr numbers on other officers a complete screw up and he will be filing for bankruptcy very soon
🤣🤣 you mean like the cult who said d day was Oct 1for John? Some of you really believe your delusions of hatred.
Just bankrupted the pension fund.
Not quite what the Trump Effect means, 10/03/2025 09:08:27 AM, yet there are a few clues in your reply.
The Trump Effect is MAGA and MAGA is US.
As in United States of Americans.
The policians, tribed up into two historically claimed to be conflicting agendas, are being shown, by the Trump Effect, to be incestuos cousins of common intents.
The Trump Effect has been exposing the sincere insincerities of the republican party's innate and insidious rino natures, aka, go along to get ahead of the populace, aka, US, and dip their beaks with the rest of the flock.
As complex and complicated as these schemers strive to make things, the Trump Effect clears the their maskings and provides the path to clarity of values we, the Americans, hold dear.
So, here we are.
If there were no problems, everything was on the up-n-up, then there's no reason to hide credit card statements, or to obfuscate the financial information.
But there's refusals to share credit card information, etc. so yeah, the chances seem pretty good that someone's been fucking around with the Union cash and they're doing everything they can to keep anyone from finding out just how bad it is.
Anyone in the Union is entitled to see that information - just show up and go get it. If the scheisters running things refuse, file lawsuits against them personally and professionally to pry that information loose.
Skinny and Graham are antonyms. Another f'n sellout.
Exactly. This is OUR lodge and OUR assets and we have every right to see EVERYTHING as it relates to the business of running Lodge 7. John himself was a regular requestor of the financial records when he hoped to uncover dirt to aid in his run for president. He was never denied access to any records.
Fast forward to a few years ago and requests for financial records are now the most closely guarded asks by dues paying members. So why the constant denials and changes to bylaws to stymie those who want to make sure everything is on the up and up? I’ll tell everyone why.
Because John Catanzara has used FOP assets to live a lavish lifestyle way beyond the “perks” enjoyed by past presidents. Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. If there’s nothing to hide, then complete transparency of all financial records should not be an issue.
John and crew got caught and called out on their bullshit. And now it’s all slowly unraveling. The jig is up and consequences are around the corner. All you die hard “JCat” fans need to wake the fuck up and demand accountability from your false prophet.
I do not know anything about this FOP implosion but Duckhorn has an incredible wine portfolio
Knew Mike when he was a Sgt in 009 30+ years ago, then crossed paths again when he was dumped as cmmdr of 003 & went to 022.
Sharp guy & a class act!
Duckhorn retired is the clown
hope it wasn't the mens bathroom, graham blew that up a long time ago. "shitter's full"
Agreed
filet Mignon, baked potato with asparagus. for the board of course. rest of us had pizza.
this painting, is it a picasso, Van Goh? Starry night? that's important and the Salerno's Pizza is good. heard Fernando is riding a horse back to Chicago to stick up for his guy.

Then why not produce receipts ? Why stop audits at every turn? You are obviously not on the job, cause you have no clue clown.
Wow! You are delusional
Dear Lord, Gorman said nothing and did nothing while jrat ran amuck. But hes a “great guy”. Oh please. He did the job hes getting paid almost 100k to do. Booo hoooo
R u insane? Makes us look bad? What made us look bad is electing this goof. He is a medical role abuser for starters, got cr’s on people he worked with for nonsensical reasons, was a minute from being fired, all over the news, treats others like trash, has a real problem with women, is jealous of honest coppers who have good reputations, will try to insult and talk shit bout them. Sorry the timing doesnt work for you son. But it works for the rest of us, john is a shit human
M B is solid!
Boy are you stupid. I won’t explain the reasoning to that statement, but rather you need to reflect on your limited common sense and pitiful policing skills and try to figure it out.
How long do you think it took John’s sycophants monitoring SCC to send DiSanti out to the food trailer with his Radio Shack “bug detector” to do a sweep? 😂🤣
Lol!! You’re the moron here. It was sarcasm. No one, including idiots at the FOP, believe any nonsense about fake leaked info to prompt a “bug sweep”. I didn’t really believe they received a heads up, you asshat, nor do I believe any idiots at the hall did a sweep either.
💯
He’s about to be afraid of the FBI
Neither did Piñata but there she is. It's not the votes she needs to look at.
It's not the Feds fault that John is stealing from us.
Uh hello, being "over generous," with our money is exactly what embezzlement is. How the hell are all these alleged police officers defending stealing?
🎵 don’t cryyy for meee Catanzaaaraaa theee truuuth isss iiii neeeeeever lefttt youuuuu allll throughhhh myyyyyyy wild daaaays my PPP looooansss I keeeept myyyy proooomiiiiiiiiiiseeeeee 🎵
😳😳😳😳
The worst trustee in FOP history. Has drunken himself into a coma at least twice that required multiple day stays in a hospital. The cheapest man in Fop when it comes to reaching into his own pocket. Even earlier this year asked for an increase in the monthly stipend!!
No, it wasn’t sarcasm. You’re just backpedaling now that you showed your hand. Not only are you likely a blind supporter of J-Criminal and his cast of FOP ball washers, you’re a mental midget. We can spot your kind without much effort.
Unclench those jaws and come off of John’s sack for air every so often, kid. You’re already intellectually deficient … Oxygen deprivation is only gonna make it worse.
You know that most of the National Fop board are bosses, lodge 7 is exception.
R we talking about the same Danny Trevino?
Two former superintendent sons stripped for PPP loans.
https://www.facebook.com/share/177zrcXHLW/?mibextid=wwXIfr
BJ the bookie is cool.
Trevino took my lunch money on a traffic stop back in the day. He can rot.
I don't think retiree's should hold any more than one position on the board. Some of these guys have been on the FOP doll for decades.
absolutely not
We should not be paying for HIS lawyer. We have a team of lawyers on the payroll, why can’t they protect us? John wants to know WHO the target of the investigation is, do you really think you can have a high priced lawyer call the FBI or IRS and ask them and they will give that information out? Not how it works son. Now if he didn’t do nuffin then why do we need an extra lawyer? I would like to know what the retainer fee is? Also where is the Friday video? Maybe from church where he can sit and tell us what a good person he is and all he wants to do is fight for the police? He is still eating, drinking, and golfing as well as the rest of the crew who better think long and hard about lying about any of it. It’s every man and woman for themselves. Now that you illegally dumped Mette we are going to have to pay him for his whistleblower lawsuit. Do you even know your constitution and bylaws moron? You like to tell everyone to read them. You should know them. Tick tock
hen why not produce receipts ? Why stop audits at every turn? You are obviously not on the job, cause you have no clue clown.
10/03/2025 07:02:04 PM
Oh, but I do have a clue, and most likely much more than you. Being embarrassed by your actions as a leader is far different than committing fraud. That alone would give incentive to cover things up. I spent more time in the area washroom than you have on the job and in my post department life have investigated many fraud cases. Nothing posted here so far has had the elements of fraud. Only rumors, jealousy and envy.
well done
You do know that there is a core retirees that were on the board with Nolan, Donahue, one that came on with Shields and keep off the ballot by Graham who think most of the active members on the board are useless. The actives are only worried about getting promoted and out of FOP or getting a spot. Committees hardly met because the actives won’t come down to Fop w/o being carried 049. And if they’re working an overtime initiative you won’t find with a missing person case report.
The good news is everyone for most part working as a field rep is working their ass off. If you don’t believe me just ask Jimmy.
There are about a dozen people doing 95 % of the posting here who have run for office in one of the last two elections and lost. Give this two months and let’s see where the chips fall. I’d like to know thou how much did we -Fop - spend on Erin Jones failed political career?
tell it to the FEDS John. see if that works.
G*d I wish DuhCat would release the Epstein files already…
DH the biggest scum bag 001 has met other than Stevie sparzzzz
He can get rid of Mette as a field rep at any time for no reason at all. When mette asked him why he said I don’t have to say. Jcats right, he doesn’t have to say.
Real talk......there should only be 3 trustees that are retired. I now think that there are only 4 active trustees and 2 are about to retire. It’s a disaster.
1. Elect non medical abusers
2. Elect non Discipline frequent flyers
3. Elect people with credit scores over 800, no financial defaults, and no bump cards.:)-
I for one would send all the FOP elected positions people into the FOP witness protection program.
You are a moron. No one is jealous and no one wants his spot. People wanted to know where their money was being spent and he locked that shit down with new rules. He is stealing. He is misappropriating. How is food truck at his personal block party? Want the photos? We have them. That is using members money for personal use. That’s just the tip of the iceberg.
There are almost 6k retired members paying dues and they get 3 out 17 slots? You must be looking for a meritorious promotion too!
800 credit score? Again probably out ot 17 trustees there are a handful with that score and most are probably retireed.
None of the Trustees nor the Sgt-at-Arms have credit cards or expense accounts. If they worked the food trailer at Sox Park when the coppers had their days off cancelled and put on 12 hour days, they may have been reimbursed, if they had to run out and get an another 50 loafs of bread.
J-Cat and the field reps are the only ones with credit cards.
Come on Dave you sound nervous, remember every man for himself. Start talking or you can have a joint cell. Aren’t you glad you’re in charge of the audit commitee? You were supposed to be the one to notice any abnormalities. It only took three women one hour to see a bunch of big red flags in those books. Guess you’re only good at following John around and holding his water.
Some people work; others just brown-nose to JRat to stay relevant. Right Di Santi? You need to be investigated for your role as Treasurer of the RCPA and the role JRat created for you.
