Problems with Supernintendo Search

God forbid you have diversity of opinion in searching for the next leader of the CPD.

And Lord help you if someone who actually supports the Police is part of that decision making process - the communists, socialists and asshole democrats can't have that:

• A bitter internal dispute has erupted inside the city’s police oversight commission as a majority of members are trying to remove one of two commissioners leading the search for Chicago’s next police superintendent, threatening to inject political infighting into one of the city’s most consequential decisions.

  Multiple sources told CWBChicago that a majority of the seven-member Community Commission for Public Safety and Accountability wants attorney and former CPD civilian director Sandra Wortham removed from the two-person superintendent search work group.

And why remove Ms. Wortham?

• During that hearing, an audience member described feeling intimidated when an officer shined a flashlight into her vehicle during a traffic stop. Wortham thanked the woman for her comments, empathized, and explained that officers shine lights into vehicles to keep the area illuminated in case someone has a weapon, according to people who attended the meeting. Those remarks drew a chilly response from fellow commissioners and members of the audience.

  At the time, the commission was considering recommendations that would have limited police officers’ ability to conduct pretextual traffic stops. Wortham, who is Black, spent most of her life living in Chicago’s Black communities, and previously served as a CPD civilian deputy director, publicly opposed limiting traffic stops. CWBChicago later reported that the commission’s own polling found most Chicagoans agreed with her position.

  Supporters of Wortham suspect her colleagues’ real motives are political, an effort to remove the commission’s only voice with direct law enforcement experience, and the only perspective that differs from the majority’s. In addition to being a former CPD civilian employee, Wortham is the daughter of a retired CPD sergeant and the sister of a slain Chicago police officer.

  Lending some credence to the suspicions of a political motivation: one commissioner told CWBChicago on Wednesday that they believe Wortham “is biased toward conservative” viewpoints and has a “biased lens.”

So suspected conservatives don't deserve a place - or a voice - on a committee that will chose the next figurehead to run the Department. Even if she's a highly educated black woman with a law degree, she is polluted by her association with Police relatives, including her brother who was killed in the Line of Duty.

You are a non-entity in blue city blue state shitholes.
