Hiya Ed!
Released in July after serving ten months (of a two year sentence), guess who's wandering around downtown? (click for larger view):
Picking up all the envelopes being held at an unknown PO Box no doubt.

Looking a bit grumpy there, for a 10 month vacation, with room and board and 3 squares provided, at no charge.
Just in time for turkey day! You would think he would be smiling.
Get ready 006. When John Deane leaves on the 15th your new captain is Yolanda Irvin from 003. Best of luck with your commander and captain. And 022, you’re getting Artz in January as your commander.
Ed Burke looks like a criminal. He totally fits in with the criminal elements downtown.
Think them ..."teens"...would help him cross the street...
He reminds me of when I saw Jesse Jackson at police headquarters a couple of years ago. Jesse was sitting practically all alone in the lobby with only one or two measly henchmen at his side. He looked and moved like an animatronic puppet from Showbiz Pizza. Now I see this picture of Burke and I’m liking the two of them as zombies going to the mall in Dawn of the Dead. They flock to city spots Like the undead did to the mall, on only instinct when their bodies and minds should be relaxing in the Bahamas
like a bad penny... keeps popping up... does he still have a detail?
"Separated at Birth" with David Letterman? Except Letterman's a perv, not a crook.
Say what you want about him but he took care of his neighborhood just like Eddy V did. and every funeral he looked out for the family to make sure there was enough resources to make it. Compared to the shit we have in city hall now, let this city have them all back.
Ed's still resentful that his fellow inmates couldn't be bothered with a reach around.
He looks like he's ready to flash the photographer.
Outside city hall too...WTF???
Anybody got that PO Box number??? ...Asking for a friend.
no more private security company ?! money ran out eddie
He”ll Be Safe Packing His B.S. Star
And Pistol On His Belt. Wait A Minute! Ain’t He A Convicted Felon?
Looks like a flasher.
Is he looking for the Tuna?
Did Eddie Get To Wear On His Belt
His Star & Empty Holster.???
You’re right, can’t stay away from the old stomping ground. That’s the “Hall” behind him. Maybe he searching for the “Mayor’s Row” from the old days. One would think if you got burned down there you would stay away.
Say what you want when he was finance chairman he made sure our pension was funded!
Any working bugs left at counselors row?
Where's his city car and driver? And the city star on his belt.....
The Troll of City Hall.
How many envelopes do you plan on collecting at this years Christmas Party Ed?
Looks like he might pop open that rain coat and flash us a surprise 😮
I thought he was put away for YEARS...2 years but did 10 months...truth in sentencing.
I would do 10 months for the millions of dollars he stole also. Happy turkey day ed
10 Months for 50 years of corruption????? We need Operation Greylord II.
And he still has that smug, arrogant look....
Dirtbag extraordinaire
Lots of money to be made appealing all those bloated property tax bills.
That goes for Madigan as well. They may have taken care of their friends and family but they also took care of the police and fire. 100% better than what we have now. Grass isn’t always greener on the other side people.
Criminals always return to the scene of the crime.
I’ll take him over the socialist trash that took his spot and so would many of the residents. Eddie knew how to get things done.
Almost better then the pension. Pecora, who resigned from the police department shortly before heading to prison, has apparently continued his service to the city post-conviction. Municipal payroll records list him as a $51.41-per-hour “asphalt laborer” for the Chicago Department of Transportation.

Night time was....hammer time...
I get what you are saying, I was from the 14th. But didn't they all lead to what we have now??
Eddie Burke should still be in a cell next to Mike Madigan.
Exactly although they all had their scams the city was a place to be proud of
all right!!!! he's out,,,, now I'm gonna get that meritorious promotion,,
I miss Fast Eddie V. He was at least funny and good for many one-liners back during the old Council Wars of yore.
Not bad for a lifetime of grift and political corruption, probably still wearing that badge for that meal discount.
Eddie bugs to Eddie the flasher
Who cares, it’s been such a Mickey Mouse operation for a few years now.
Yep. And he will replaced with a darker version who looks out for his own .
Hating on this guy but he sure ain't one of the "other" assholes who are running this city into the ground.
Not used to seeing Ed without his hands in pockets, our pockets.
ditto
The real crook in that family is his wife, the Honorable Chief Justice
10's of millions
Agreed.
Yolanda Irvin is incompetent as all hell!!! True moron and no experience in the field.
I didn’t believe in the Artz rumor when someone told me a few weeks ago but it appears it’s true. He wants to do it for 2 or 3 years for the pension since he’s already made millions in scammed OT. But yes, Artz is getting it.
That boy got that prison stare. The joint made him into a natural born killa. No doubt he’s got a sharpened toothbrush up his coat sleeve.
Oh no SCC. He’s there as a crime fighter. We all know how much he loved this city. Now, he wants to help clean it up. 10 years would not be enough for him, 10 months is a sweet deal.I ask the question: Would you accept a penalty of 10 months in a “nice” prison at the end of your life, when you’re sleeping most of the day, to live the previous eighty years in the lap of luxury? To be treated like royalty, to have bodyguards for you and your family? To be driven anywhere you or your family members want to go? To always have the funds to do the things you want to do? I bet a lot would say, “send me to the joint!”.
Believe me. Many people who are still in power in very high places in Chicago and cook county owe Ed Burke their lives. Without Ed they would be bagging groceries, instead they are in charge of many hidden City departments. Trust me, I have no doubt Eddie is still meeting with people and is trying to get favors returned or making deals to get friends good spots. There’s a reason he’s still walking around downtown…
WAY off topic-some fella named Hugo Charles has issued some reports after investigating the CTU, and has allegedly uncovered $23.5 MILLION in unauthorized expenses for travel and “conferences” over the last few years. Las Vegas conferences? $945 for the room, 600 went! Hey chumps- hurry and pay those HUGE real estate tax hikes! Where’s the Inspector General for Finance for this conniving bunch??? As they churn out near idiots……
Nice hat.
Whenever you get a new boss, you hope you have someone with experience doing police work, someone who understands "the job", and someone who can can be a leader making decisions that may not be popular but are the right thing to do.
I can just imagine the chat at the Christmas parties as his judge wife is asked. "Other than that two year thing how is Ed holding up ?"
That's BS. It hasn't been funded properly in the longest time.
Hey the get a life police called and it’s time to get a life !
Breaking news this just in….who cares chief
He still knows where a lot of the bodies are buried and how this city works. He could be working as a consultant.
If you think Burke looked out for his people, you are out of your mind. Old school guys like Burke did nothing for nothing. Chicago politicians steal the minute they can crawl.
Who's the individual portrayed on the collar button?
Where's Eddie's ankle bracelet? And that doesn't look like home confinement.
I remember these incompetent white shirts and their secretaries, did you do your ethics? Do it! Yet it seems ok to become an alderman, get a law degree and open a firm. Then to property tax reductions and your firm gets the fees. Screw all those thieves. Sorry if you got your promotion through them.
amazing all these comments on how he did good things for his ward residents,,,, well, that his job, right??? all the aldercreatures are supposed to do good things for their ward,,, yet people wanna say wow, he did his job
Will he become the new Walking Man?
Yes he did
No description of offenders that stabbed unit man to death downtown. That means victim is white , offenders are black or illegals ?? Blame the politicians responsible for illegals for entering into our country and city of Chicago.
Not like him to be unkept.
The old fake, faded, fraud ! Dressed like secret squirrel !
Millions of dollars and ten months. Democrats politicians privilege
Wonder if Burke got the thick pork chops from “big Al” in the joint.

artz will be horrible im glad i work in 016 our dc is decent
People on here are so stupid. You clowns saying he was great for the city. He was a huge part of the corruption which is why this city is where it's at today. But all someone has to do is say hello to you or make sure a funeral in the neighborhood runs smoothly all while stealing and lying. What small brains.
Not sure Artz getting it. Word out of HQ is bend over Remiascz will be 022 commander.
Did anybody see Curley (Rob Franks) as the head of forensics? Big article of CPD website Worked with him in 007, what is happening to this department
Like him or not, fair sentencing or not, the man served his time. Although a Chizzler, there are lots worse out there , destroying our once great city, that Daley, Burke, and Vyrdolyak kept running fairly smoothly.
Maybe Burke can relight the Xmas tree for a nominal fee?
Shit that prison sentence was worth the several millions he stole.
Be warned, Burke was in the yard pumping some serious weights. If you people bad mouth him, he might shank your ass downtown during New Year’s Eve event. Chicagos very own children (though armed) are worried about going downtown even with Burke hanging around
Yeah, he, or does anyone else, do something for nothing, but at least you got something livable and sometimes favorable back in the day, not the dog shit on the street, burnt out houses, crime dujour you have now...
"Prison does that to a man. Oh yeah, how so? When I got here I was white" Naked Gun 3, for you kids out there
AMEN ! My brother
This guy was well known to my looong dead grandparents and I'm in my 70s. One thing about the old skool Irish and dagos they knew how to SKIM the cream off the top without killing the host. Kept an appearance of legitimacy while they stole. The animals in charge today have no limits to their greed or stupidity. They will take the eggs of the golden goose then devour the goose in a frenzy. Blue cities will not last 50 years under the socialists, there will be no 10 percent for the big guys, it will be slash and burn, a biblical swarm of locusts to steal everything. Within 10 years there will be dozens of Detroit, all sitting back on their piles of shit demanding bailouts . The bailouts will not come. Sell and get out while you can to a small town in the south with better weather, low taxes, and no democrats.
Where’s the Loop puncher when you need him?
Ha
Eddie's out and RG back on news talking cause of Chicago problems... Richie tossing the idea of a mayoral run :O
Madigan isn’t that far removed from being speaker. Our pension issues didn’t start when he left
A quarter century = 25 calender years.
A quarter century = a generation having survived 1st decade and updated as needed to survive 2nd decade, now beginning their following decades of living life as it is.
So, thusly:
1925 - 1950 = the greatest generation, tempered by the fires of wars.
1950 - 1975 = spawn of the greatest generation, pampered by abundance of neccessities, yet still facing the realities of reality.
1975 - 2000 = spawn of the spawn of the greatest generation, so saturated in said abundancies that perceiving realities requires striving to perceive them.
2000 - 2025 = spawn of the spawn of the spawn of the greatest generation, effectively Alfred E. Newman on steroids.
Experience of those commenting upon our city and county governments' past and present grifters can only be based upon memories of experiences, researched histories not directly experienced, imaginations and their illusions of actualities, and pure fabrications, spouted as certainties.
Politics is always current to present generation's qualities.
Yes, Grasshopper, this means even Fredo had more common sense than our current Alfred E. Newman generation.
What, me worry?
I’d take Ed Burke ANYDAY not just before but especially now, over what we have now. He made things run smooth and know this-those Downtown shithead mob take overs would never have happened under his reign!
Good to see you, Ed!
What's that have to do with you doin your E-Learning? Need papa White Shirt to hold your hand? Grow up.
Absolutely!
Maybe he's looking for a storefront to reopen Counsellors Row
Is that the devout catholic who took took bribes from from innocent chicagoans?
heard catanzara called him asking his advice on prison.
pecora a piece of shit
Effin Thief. This place stinks
Looks like Burl Ives!
WOW , 10 months at a country club for years of corruption , robbing & stealing ! What a fucked up system that truly caters to the shitbag criminals !
Give up loser. He aint going anywhere.
He looks like Frank Rizzo.
“I know a lush when I see one.”
“He’s a real Crum Bum.”
Don't you dare speak of the Vaneks like that. How dare you.
Remiascz? Please no.
He looks like Frog One from the “French Connection”
He looks like Boris the Burglar from the neighborhood watch signs
Looks like he loss some weight. Also looks like he's doing the ruse hoping no one recognizes him on the stroll. Perhaps out doing his pickups for old debts and not giving up anyone else. Or out meeting the old Schifosa for a toss in his disguise.
Naturally he's still getting his beak wet from the pension fund.
Just wait, he will become the next victim of street crimes in the loop? Video will show eddy walking down street when a thug takes the warm winter trench coat.......inside they find a copy of his city pension account and his expired state bar card? Video at 5pm
Hamburglar looks old. Grumpy about trying to find a nearby McDonalds in the loop?
Ahhh, yes, great memories! Those were "the days!"
Bullshit he made sure our pension was funded
We can only hope that prick goes to prison. John thinks he’s the smartest guy in the world
That’s not what is being said. Pay attention. Burke Daly Madigan sure they took care of themselves and their people but they kept the city running and businesses coming into the city and state. Lightfoot and Johnson are chasing businesses away laughing we don’t need Citadel we don’t need the Bears. Wait until revenue gets so low there’s no more pension for you! Wake the f up people.
Old time democrats were the best. When I was 20 years old, our guy told me I could be a cop or get a spot on the water department. I wanted the water department but my grandma pointed out I could carry my beanie without worrying about taking a pinch if I was a cop. So cop it was.
Oh My..It's the Ghost, I mean Grinch of Christmas past.
When he isn’t playing tickle with his secretary
After 2 decades on this department, it amazes me that the more these connected people step on their dik, the higher up they go.
Yes. You've spelled out the process. Loot n burn it all on the way out...like they said in "Goodfellas".." 'when we couldn't heist anything anymore we burned the place down...."
He was as corrupt as his father and deserved the sentence he received. My own father tried to get on the job years ago and was told by Burke Sr he needed to drop an envelope.
Some of us are awake and do realize theyre chasing away tax revenue. Johnson will probably chase away more businesses.
I hear he is planning to attend some CPD Christmas parties. His henchmen will set up his throne again and he will be accepting envelopes from wanna be supervisors and bosses.
It's good to know that Chicago values have not changed and remain as strong as ever during this, the blessed holiday season.
People that think Ed was serving the city are morons. He was serving himself. That mentality is how this city elects the same democrats over and over again. I say enough is enough already. Fix it now or forever hold your peace. The problem is, that in Illinois the runners in any race are predetermined. Then the candidate that has been "chosen" is backed financially until they win.
A lot of CPD still owes their careers to that man...
A lot of spots at the airports were his call

Remiascz? Please no.

Are you kidding me? When she was the Det chiefs admin sgt she would snake out of as many day off cancelled details she could and stick it to the other sgts. On the off chance she was deployed she stayed and hid at 36th st. The Tamale lady, from the back of the yards, who was deported had more experience running something.
Isn't federal time 80% of your sentence, or did he cheat on that too?
"I’d take Ed Burke ANYDAY not just before but especially now, over what we have now."
Welcome to Chicago, where we're forced to settle for the least worst.
I heard Remiasz is running forensics but never goes in and just works from home. She been like
Her whole career so only fitting she gets a command spot.
Curley on CPD notifications?
This city has been corrupted pretty much since it's inception. The question is whether that corruption works to your benefit or someone else's.
He was a worker in 007. He kidded around alot, but he worked. I'm happy for him.
Congrats Rob!

"Innocent"? Someone willing to pay a bribe is not exactly innocent.
Looks like the face on the shroud of turin.. just as old too
He served a very small fraction of his time. He was let out even earlier than usual because he’s old and fit some anti mass incarceration law that pig Kim Kardashian conned Trump into passing in his first term.
He was let out early under the First Step Act that Trump supported and signed in his first term at Kim Kardashians request.
Scope of Impact: Within the first year of enactment, more than 3,000 federal prisoners were released based on changes to the good-time credits calculation formula under the First Step Act, and more than 2,000 inmates benefited from sentence reductions from the retroactive application of the Fair Sentencing Act of 2010.[41][42] Additionally, nearly 350 people were approved for elderly home confinement and more than 100 received compassionate release sentence reductions.
We can expect Mike Madigan to get out soon under the First Step Act.
My God you’re right. Got his beard to prove he’s a man again, must’ve been somebody’s bitch. I know it was federal prison, but I didn’t think it was “federal pound me in the ass prison”. Office Space love it.
