Hope on the Horizon!

And it only took Cleveland eleven years:

  • Today, the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the City of Cleveland jointly filed a motion to terminate the 2015 police consent decree in the case of United States v. City of Cleveland, marking the parties’ recognition of more than a decade-long, successful effort to reform the Cleveland Division of Police (CDP). CDP now has resolved the DOJ’s 2014 findings about constitutional policing. CDP has implemented court-approved policies and training covering use of force, searches and seizures, misconduct investigations, community policing, and other areas — all resulting in contemporary assessments showing CDP now polices Cleveland constitutionally.

Of course, this was an actual "Consent Decree," not some cobbled-together make-work connected-democrat contractor money waster.

CPD still has twenty or so years to go.

This was a DOJ one.. we have a fake state one. The mandates they want Chicago to do will take 20 more years.. easily, and that’s not an exaggeration. We will be dealing with this for 15-20 more years.

Don't forget that CPD wasn't sued by the USDOJ, it was sued by a politically connected daughter of a convicted state representative and house speaker, Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan. That's almost as bad as two brothers fighting over the last leg of roast turkey.

By the way, where is Lisa nowadays?

I don’t think getting rid of the consent decree will save CPD. The problem has moved into incompetence of idiots being promoted to upper management. They created some of the worst policies going. Getting rid of the consent decree will save taxpayers money.

I don't find it so bad to go and sit for 8 hours listening to some chicken shit 5 year guy, who was scared of his own shadow on the street, read some powerpoint slides. As long as they don't require me to participate, I'm cool.

It not a consent decree! It’s just Lori Lightfoots old toilet paper hanging in the bathroom in mayors office? It’s up there with the executive orders from current mayor who cannot pay his bills? Lots of rhetoric but not substance.

Our decree was rushed before Obama got out of Office. The Democrats will suck on this one long after most of us our dead. Obama continues to be the worstPresident in history. And before you southsiders comment, You can put that race card card back in your deck and play it another time.

ALL consent decrees are bullshit: tell me one time the DOJ came in to “investigate” and didn’t find what they were determined to find. Then tell me what the DOJ knows about policing a city.

The Consent Decree ensures continued CPD failure, wasteful costs, deceit and deception, statistical manipulation, mistrust, fear and a false sense of confidence in CPD. It has been relegated into a Democrat puppet under Conehead and his Mob. If you like the way things are going with CPD, thank a Democrat.

Won’t happen in Chicago. The city and department begged for the consent decree….look back and you’ll see.

Not even close to the truth. The Obama admin started the investigation that concluded with a "commission" chaired by Lori Lightfoot that alleged systemic racism in the operation of the CPD. Trump came into office in 2016 and the DOJ then dropped the allegations against CPD, and other departments, and released the city from the consent decree. The City of Chicago, displaying their appeasement of the "oppressed" then entered into an "agreement" with the State of Illinois to continue the decree. All smoke and mirrors.

The city gets to pick and choose what parts of it they want to pay attention to.
It’s such a scam. They were given recommendations, then ignore the recommendations as it suits them.

The Consent Decree is just another toilet flush in a series of flushes as our citizens, businesses, capital (even da Bears) and others move out of the city. Found memories looking in the rear-view mirror and flipping the bird to "the city in a garden" ...... that's filled with manure'.

I think we can all agree consent decrees are a joke and actually interfere with running an effective department. But what if we ask trump to have the DOJ push for a real consent decree. That should override the joke we currently have. Then Trump can terminate it and it'll save the city 100's of millions of dollars

"Not even close to the truth", there was never a consent decree between USDOJ and CPD, so the DOJ never "released" CPD from any decree. Also, DOJ never "dropped allegations" because none were ever filed. There was a DOJ report that was released weeks before Trump was sworn in in 2017 but the DOJ never filed suit. Lisa Madigan filed suit on August 29, 2017.

To "Not even close to the truth", Lori Lightfoot had nothing to do with the USDOJ investigation into CPD. Nowhere is her name mentioned in the final DOJ report which was released one week before Trump took office. Lightfoot may have been part of a commission somewhere but not with the DOJ report which was rushed to publication before Trump took office. Here it is:

And that consent decree was pushed out in the last couple months of the Obama administration. They knew once Trump got in, his DOJ would drop it. Another "Fuck you" by Obama to the Police.

No, it was done to CPD in the last month or 2 of Obama's term. If Trump was sworn in as POTUS, it would have turned into a pumpkin and never happened.

They’ve created another bureaucracy that feeds the politically connected. Maggie Hickey’s law firm bills the city millions to administer this. Why would they give up this cash cow willingly? Maggie Hickey and her people sit at the Ritz Carlton, sip martinis 🍸 and laugh at the police. We are the serfs and they are the lords. Cheers!
