"Merit" Strikes Again

When you don't DO the job, you don't KNOW the job:

  • O/T Area One Detective Commanders Watson had her first of many depositions from her unit the other day. She put it off a few times, but they finally forced her to go. She was asked “What does ATC stand for?”, and she stated she didn’t know. She was then asked, “What was a SPAR?”, and she couldn’t explain what it was or what SPAR stands for. There’s a lot of chattering going on at Corp Council right now. 

Someone taken care of their entire career, shielded from having to make snap decisions, probably protected from having to deal with the public, supervise under stress, perhaps even making (or approving) an arrest involving Use of Force....now supervising a Detective Area?

And testifying under oath in court. This will probably cost taxpayers millions. Again.

This is the major of the Command Staff.

Watson was Merit Detective, Merit Sergeant, Merit Lieutenant and now Commander.

The joke is on everyone thinking hard work gets you nowhere.

A vast majority of the dept doesn’t know what ATC is, which is expected as it’s not really relevant to them. But how are you the commander of a detective area and not know what ATC stands for? Even worse, how are you a commander of anything and not know what a SPAR is? I know most of these gold stars are illiterate retards, but even still, I guess I had set the bar too high. Can any of these assholes read at a 3rd grade level, or is that bar STILL too high? I guess let me know when one of them shits their pants and we will lower the bar yet again. What a trainwreck this place is.

Watson was doing the same thing in the infamous BIA corruption unit. She was a Lt there. The fixers who police the police and fix cases the bosses want. When it’s officers and bosses, in house nonsense they set the officers up to take the fall. The department has BIA handle in house stuff so they can fix cases. I wonder how many cases Watson fixed to make Commander.

Sgt. C.B was making remarks to an Asian male. Watson turned around and gave him a spar for being late to work when he made a complaint. The deposition happened for the Asian male. I’m happy to see she is unqualified and out of touch. She has never worked one day in patrol. It’s wrong to promote people who are vengeful. She doesn’t like women either. She also failed to catch a DNA hit and the sexual assault offender was able to rape a minor due to her failure. She gossips about everyone, she is competitive and wants another promotion. I’ve seen go after a lot of people. A female black under her was taken down for standing up to her. She hasn’t worked her entire career. She needs to retire. I heard she visits the mayor and has lunch. She spends a lot of time kissing up to anyone above her to move up. She had LT K.A removed, she emailed everyone not to contact her. She’s going to 7. She should be demoted already.

Commander AW sure knows all of the drama. She paces the floor all day, instigates drama within the area and then runs back into her office leaving everyone else to deal with the aftermath. She pressures her supervisors to micromanage officers and detectives that she has personal issues with. A sergeant once corrected her on something that she said about an incident, and she didn’t speak to him for several months. When she had questions about a case, she’d go to the officers on his team and disregard the sergeant. She acted as if the sergeant was invisible.

Made Lt and went right to IAD… 5 months later commander of A1 detectives. All Eric Carter. How is she still a commander and why the commander of a detective area. If she wasn’t black… would she be promoted at all above Sgt??? Serious question. The answer as we all know is no. Ursetti is terrified to dump anyone especially a female of color. The most important spot in our department is the LT’s and commanders of the detective areas and you fill them with DEIs and Eric Carter connected fools. I know Hein is sick to his stomach with her but the supe and ursetti sit on their hands. Incompetence. Hein.. Snelling or Ursetti.. if you’re reading this.. SHE IS HATED!!! SHE KILLS MORALE!!!!!!

When an Asian member says someone is making hurtful, inappropriate remarks, targeting that person’s race-you need to lead by example and correct it. She knew what happened…she wanted the Rbt sgt in 7 to look good. Here she is, surprise, surprise, not knowing basic information and some how running the show. Race is a serious thing. You don’t hurt people because you don’t like their skin or how they look. It’s not right-any form of racism is not ok.

The Department is the candy store. All the candy in the candy store is nicely wrapped in their shinny wrappers. Neatly spaced in rows. Viewed from outside their respective cases it is quite a presentation.
But unbeknownst to the outside observer lies a secret that the City and Department has perpetrated on the citizens for decades. There's no candy in the wrappers. Just as there is all style and no substance in the upper ranks. What a shame to labor under.

"From a taxpayer’s perspective, the lesson is straightforward. If Chicago wants to reduce misconduct payouts meaningfully over the next decade, the highest return on investment will not come from sweeping, symbolic gestures. It will come from relentless focus on repeat-risk officers by identifying them early, limiting their exposure, reassigning them when necessary, and removing them when warranted."

It would be interesting to read the full transcript of her deposition.
.
When Watson was the evidence sergeant, she failed to handle a CODIS hit. She received a 10 day suspension for it. When it first came out, she blamed a hardworking detective and called him a lying mother fucker, out loud, right in front of Commander Charlie Brown and others. I couldn’t believe it. Commander Brown didn’t say anything. Watson acted as if she was going to charge at the detective. The detective has since moved to another area. That was the best thing for him to do at the time.

Sometimes on the job you end up with the wrong people in the right spot. Overall throughout my career 99% of the bosses I worked for were the best. Wether some officers are promoted by merit or make it by test score there are just some that have no business being a supervisor especially those that were never the street police.

Meanwhile, our nincompoop mayor thinks generating a bunch of useless reports will solve everything. News flash to the people saying its important to document the facts: when somebody reports a crime to the police, the report only documents what they told the police. As Jussie taught us, that may have nothing to do with the truth.

Actually, the number is flipped. 10% of the merits are better police than their peers. 90% of merits are bad news medical/IOD abusers, early duckers, paper jumpers, and political hacks that are drivers/secretaries.

She made Lt. Karina Aguilar lie for her against the detective the she SPAR’d, then got Lt. KA dumped to 007 on midnights and now they have to put Lt. KA at the academy, as a favor, because they need her testimony to help Commander Watson in her lawsuits. Walls talk. All of the drama that lady caused. She had her P.O. friend (Alexis) that’s assigned to another unit to come to the Area One over the weekend to work overtime filing reports. Although, she restricted detectives from working their cases on overtime. Then they cracked down on A/1 for having the most overtime in the city. Please get rid of her.

The detective in question is just as clueless.

Merit is the largest contributor to low morale and a shit run department. Funny thing about merit you can just observe for 5 mins and realize who made it by score and who was merit. Why are most promotion test part one a 55% to pass?. because most merits can barely even get that. A 3rd grader with a pencil can fill in a scantron and get a better score.

Her replacement is already assigned to 610. They recently moved Dana O’Malley bff Lt. CT, who is as clueless about policing as Cmdr. Watson. She’s never been the police. Was taken care of her whole career, never spent a day in patrol as a WOL nor in a detective area. Now she quietly gets moved to area 1 so when she gets promoted they can say she previously was a LT there. It’s a joke

If true, it's absolutely disgusting. This is a person who has complained her way into accomplishing zero work in her career. Everyone involved with promoting her (or giving her test answers) should be ashamed. But, they won't. Can someone explain to me anything she has accomplished that warrants her being taken care of?

Blue State Dems Launching Schemes to Obstruct ICE, Federal Laws

In the State of New Jersey, for instance, Democrat Gov. Mikie Sherrill has announced that the state has debuted a “portal” where citizens can track and report the activities of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers.

“We are going to be standing up a portal so people can upload all their cell phone videos and alert people. If you see an ICE agent in the street, get your phone out,” the Gov. said in a recent interview.

In another case of insurrectionary activity, the Mayor of Seattle, Washington, has also advocated for doxxing and subverting federal law enforcement.

Self-professed “democratic socialist” Mayor Katie Wilson went even father than the governor of New Jersey by pledging to force her own police department to become a left-wing informant network to undermine and interdict federal law enforcement. Wilson wants the police to directly violate the law by informing on federal law enforcement to left-wing activist “community organizations.”

Former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot also announced that she is spearheading a project to reveal the names, personal information, and locations of ICE officers while pro-migration activists are trying to block law enforcement operations.

Also in Illinois, Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias has warned ICE officers and other federal law enforcement not to remove or obscure the license plates on official vehicles because he claims it is a violation of state vehicle operating laws.

Giannoulias, who worked for his failed family bank which was seized by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation in 2010, posted a video to social media claiming he has “zero tolerance” for “this type of illegal activity.”

Carter is the main reason why Chief Deenihan left. When Carter was 1st deputy, chief Deenihan had no say so who the commanders of the Detective Division Areas would be, they were all selected by Carter. Chief Deenihan was so disgusted with the direction the department was going and tired of the politics so he left and took a position at Google. Deenihan was even expected to be the next superintendent after Brown, he didn’t want it because he said the amount of changes he would have to make at the command level was astronomical and he knew for sure he would be sued and accused of racism. How sad, and Snelling doesn’t understand why the department is so divided. Eric Carter did more damage to this department than any Superintendent ever did. Carter took full advantage of superintendent Brown being an outsider.

Charlie Brown retired after a short stint of Commander that he didn’t want because how the department was being ran. Carter only promoted Charlie because Charlie was a Marine, although Charlie always said that Carter was a fake Marine because Charlie was an active Duty Marine and Carter was a weekend warrior marine.

Minnesota Anti-ICE Activists Get $3.3 Million From Soros-Backed Charity You’ve Never Heard Of

"Sixteen activist groups mobilizing against immigration agents in Minnesota have one thing in common: financial support from a nonprofit backed by the Soros family’s Open Society Foundations.

"The Minneapolis-based Headwaters Foundation for Justice awarded $3,321,013 in funds and non-cash assistance since 2014 to groups that now seek to monitor Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or protest the agency, according to a Daily Caller News Foundation analysis of tax filings, activists’ websites and their social media posts. One related protest at the Minneapolis-St. Paul (MSP) airport led to around 100 arrests on Jan. 23.

...and related to the discussion here of hospitals turning away police officers seeking treatment, the nurses who post that officers should be poisoned with injections &c. -

"Unidos MN, formerly called Navigate MN, is also hosting an upcoming “healthcare worker resistance training” in February to teach medical employees how to “protect” patients during ICE searches, an Instagram post shows. Unidos MN received $90,250 from the Headwaters Foundation."

Don’t have any sympathy for Henry. This is probably the laziest detective in the history of Detectives. And that’s saying something. Merit Detective who publicly whined that he wasn’t being merit promoted to Sgt. because he’s Asian. He even went before Lightfoot with his Asian Council to complain that more Asians should be meritoriously promoted. This was when all of the Asians were getting robbed and shot so used that as a springboard to try and get himself a spot. Meanwhile he had over 300 cases sitting in his inbox and was/is a regular medical abuser. Fuck Henry, he got to go to Area 5 where he continues to do absolutely nothing and still cries about everything. He is the perfect example of incompetent, entitled Merit.
