This Guy Again?

Larritorious announces his impending retirement (the day after we did) after one last round of incompetent promotions....but guess who's coming back again:

  • Snelling said he plans to retire on July 15. Earlier this week, he announced broad changes to his command staff and installed a new second-in-command, putting a lasting stamp on the department.

    Police veteran Fred Waller, who has been a key aide to Snelling, will again serve as acting police superintendent during a search for a permanent replacement, Mayor Johnson said Wednesday.

Obviously, Waller is Conehead's guy. We were always surprised he didn't end up in the top spot. He was certainly connected enough, but the other baggage must have been too much to excuse. He might have made a mark on the Department.

But the thing that will mark Larry's reign more than anything is the multiple "merit" incompetence and total lack of street knowledge at every supervisory level of the Department.

A couple of those command staff picks earlier this week have never passed a promotional test high enough to actually make it based on knowledge....kind of like Larry.

And a couple others have less career arrests than they have fingers and toes. 

Knock it all you want, but being part of the arrest process, from putting handcuffs on offenders, to presenting a case at a Grand Jury, to giving evidence at Court proceedings is a pretty important part of being able to properly supervise street officers. 

Hell, reviewing Arrest Reports, approving TRRs, and even giving a deposition at a Civil trial only add to credibility in running the third (?) largest police department in the country.

Snelling talked a good game but he was an utter failure. Tally and Hein sabotaged several good bosses i-Larry was simply too naïve to realize it. What a shame you were so easily fooled superintendent. You had good intentions, but you were manipulated by others. Too bad you didn’t have a backbone. Disgraceful.

Larry accomplished zero during his reign. He talked a good game was a tireless self promoter and always had a dry cleaned uniform. Never passed a test had less than 2 years street experience. The department is worse off after him than before him. What will he do now that he cant wear his cpd crown hat?

Let’s be honest no matter who the SUP is things are not going to change until the city gets a change of leadership. Sadly majority of officers are lazy, majority don’t even respond to priority 1 jobs with light and sirens, some conduct half ass investigation, try not to make any arrest. I truly feel sorry for the residents of this city. I’m shocked the department doesn’t start to hold officers accountable for not responding with lights and sirens to priority 1 jobs. We are the police and we still have a job to do even in these tough times. We can’t let evil win. Also, there’s no brotherhood, majority of officers are phony with each other, bosses hate officers, officers hate bosses, officers hate each other, This whole department is a toxic workplace.

Snelling was a cartoon and thats it. He was an overpromoted moron who focused on dress code and no substance. Most cops enjoyed cargo pants and baseball hats. He preferred tight shirts, merit promotions and ties. The LeBron James of cops, one of the fakest tough guys i have ever met. Triple merit with under 50 total arrests. And on his way out he promoted more merit idiots, mainly former Copa boss NF

The CPD has become a national embarrassment. Our command staff is so far removed from the everyday job of patrol officers that they are practically civilian employees. Most of them look like and act like people in police Halloween costumes. They would be terrified of working 99 on midnights or placing cuffs on a real felon...let alone chasing one down a dark alley. The HQ and police academy staff look more and more like US Postal Service employees.

Antionette Ursitti’s promotion is a slap in the face to everyone working police officer on the job. She literally hasn’t earned a single department award. She has never participated in a search warrant, written a case report, approved a TRR, approved an arrest report, prepared and presented a felony case, testified in a felony trial, testified before the Grand Jury, made a notification to felony review, put together a line- up/ photo ray, generated an inventory, obtained a mittimus, surveilled a suspect, fulfilled the many duties of a DSS, WOL, Community Policing supervisor, Beat Team Leader, Detective, Tact officer, Bike officer or supervisor at the front line of protests, subject matter expert in any subject, Internal Affairs Investigator, supervisor in HR, Area Gang Team officer or supervisor, box 1 or box 2 officer, processed evidence, DIO, Swat, Legal Affairs, recovered a stolen vehicle, impounded a vehicle, towed a vehicle, searched a vehicle, coordinated a mass arrest, worked a traffic mission, written a DUI, coordinated an F/I, processed a juvenile, arrested a juvenile (teen takeovers are on the rise), served as a incident commander on an active crime scene, secured a crime scene with barrier tape, given a dispersal order, worked on an FBI Task Force, led a multi-jurisdictions investigation, saved a life while in the line of duty, worked on and investigation with Dcfs, logged on to the ERI system, etc.

The upper management of CPD has became one big joke. To everyone reading this remember it’s just a job. Do what you have to do to get through it. Don’t get sucked into the job. Leave work at work. Answer your jobs and go home. Screw the bosses. They get theirs and retire very nicely with a big pension. They don’t think of you once on how you retired and can barely make it on far less than what they get. Your life and your family should be your focus.

I have five years to retire and I’m a blue shirt. I gave up a lot of free time to provide for my family. Don’t get sucked into the bosses garbage. The current bosses don’t have your back.

The very first thing the new Sup should do is get rid of compstat. Publicly calling out and embarrassing commanders and Lts in front of their peers is no way to run a dept.

If u have questions or issues with a district, go meet with the district or call them in for a small round table meeting. Why call them up to a podium in front of all the dept leaders and try to hash out things they’re doing right or wrong? Nobody feels comfortable enough to actually tell you the truth. Everyone called up is nervous as hell and only cares about giving some kind of spin that the big bosses will accept so they can go back and sit down. Nothing gets accomplished at these meetings.

If u really want answers, go to the district, have a small meeting with the Cmdr’s and Lts and then people will actually feel comfortable enough to talk and tell u the real issues they’re having.

Not even to mention the amount of money each compstat costs…
Or how commanders are policing purely for numbers so they don’t get embarrassed or called out at compstat. Perfect example was the positive community interactions (pci’s).

If u can’t pass a test, you shouldn’t be a boss. Maybe one bite, but that’s it. And u should have to actually do police work. Not just sit in some office as a secretary and that’s the way u earn your merit bump. It’s disgusting and is poisonous and absolutely ruining this dept.

And he STILL fucked that up. I can’t remember the exact details, but it was something about him not knowing that the Officer Battery Report was automatically populated/ or not populated. Why? Because he hadn’t generated a real one and only followed the curriculum as set forth in the Academy. Too many years of playing pretend police and not actually doing it live.

Zero merit. It was affirmative action, Irish mafia, LGBTQ, and lawyers who passed the Illinois Stare Bar Examination but somehow weren’t smart enough to pass the dicks, sergeants, or lieutenancy tests. That was the plan all along after the 1995 sergeants list was posted and discovered to be over 80% white. Anyone else remember the Archdiocese advertising and marketing campaign “Catholic Schools Care A Lot”? Well Catholic schools always produce fine CPD bosses! And merit was just another way to level the playing field to accommodate the lowest quintile, think Snelling, et al. And the BS about some great cops just can’t pass tests is just that, BS. Because when you promote the great cop who can’t read or write you punish the great cop who can read and write by giving away his promotion. Change my mind. I’m retired and I can wait…..

Many years ago made Sgt. had a young age. Had 12 years on the job, Thought for sure I would make Lt. or more. Well I sure learned quickly that wasn’t going to happen. Got screwed by the quota system. I decided I was going to make the job work for me instead of me working for the job. I found a hole and stayed there for almost 15 years until I retired. Days, weekends off, summer furloughs, coached my kids sports, and retired as soon as I could.

The whole place could KMA. I watched them promote the incompetent, the females, the lame, the connected. They would come up with hare brained schemes that violated the contracts. I knew that it would cost the City later but if the upper echelon didn’t care I sure didn’t. In fact I kind of enjoyed it.

Not that many years ago, we had a police department where the gold star club actually cared along with the bosses for the street copper, that has gone away, so has the quality of the coppers that have been hired many of them, not all but many of them! Here’s a couple examples went out with some other Retired guys had breakfast. We’re talking about Police talk as we still do the way it was the way it is, things have changed. We took two beats for example, 2211 and beat 811. both cars work on the West End one in Mount Greenwood one in Garfield Ridge. They’ve never increased the coppers there, but the bigger difference is again back in the day. I know people will say go away grandpa but to you I say thank you for contributing to our pensions keep working thank you. We appreciate it, the coppers used to take care of their own neighborhoods. They protected the homeland now the coppers of today many of them cannot even get out of mommy‘s basement still living at home with mom and dad. They don’t have the testicular fortitude to protect their own neighborhoods. Off duty coppers not that many years ago would actually drive around their neighborhood and keep an eye out not today. The whole mentality has changed. Policeman are scared. Many are just cowards. Yep that’s the word you won’t even protect your own neighborhood. Sickening disgusting but it is what has happened when you have zero leadership God bless all you.

That’s why Barz initiated the lawsuit because he knew this was coming. He must have some heavy shit on Fred to make him do this.
1) Waller will have Barz removed from list.
2) Barz to return as Deputy Director to replace Waller
3) Waller will now stack all of his inept cronies in key positions to ensure the continuation of the Nepotism
4) Natiowide Sham Search for new Superintendent
5) Mayor will promoted someone from within based off Waller’s “expertise” of being a 20 year Gang Investigations Sgt., his meteoric rise to Commander after 8 days as a meritorios Lt., couple years as a Commander in the scandalous 002nd District, 2 months as Area 2 Deputy Chief, complete disaster reign as Chief of Patrol and most importantly his and his family’s affiliation with the “Southside” GD’s.

The real police also respond with no lights and sirens in order to catch the offender still on scene. Lights and sirens alert the bad guy we’re comin’!

Yes, cut the lights and sirens when you are blocks away.

Hot damn! I said there would be an intermittent Supe and then a civilian replacement. Ya gotta admit, theis is the perfect time for BJ the clown to dull down the police department with his socialist policies and appoint a social justice warrior as supe. Everyone in blue cities loves a socialist nowadays, right? Chicago got what they voted for again. They just didnt realize they would be bent over a wooden barrel while they were getting it.

I am hearing rumors around the water cooler, that someone in the brass ranks has been having social get togethers with comfort women and young boys if they lean that way. The booze flows liberaly and maybe even mood altering meds. If an invitee likes younger girls, or boys that can be arranged. Clinton style! Everything is recorded...Epstein/Diddy style. Like they say, if you werent born with clout you can make your own. It would explain the menagirie of no talent being given the green light on merit promotions over the years. Why didnt I think of that? I could be 1st deputy by now! Anybody have any initials to put to this?

It’s so easy to say. Protect your neighborhood. But you were protecting your neighborhood way back when u could actually protect your neighborhood. Look what happened to the copper that found the kid that stole his kids bike. He tried to detain him, small struggle ensued and they tried firing him and even charged him criminally. So when u can’t even do that, what can u really do?
If we lived back then before cameras, im sure we’d handle things a lot different. But we are stuck living in this era and have to make the smartest choices we can under these circumstances.

You have no f’n clue how much the job has changed. Your comments are so irrelevant because it’s literally a different job than the one u worked way back when.

I’ve been on almost 25 years and it’s night and day from when I started. Just trying to hang on till I can leave.

Can u just trust me, we want to work, we have good work ethics, but u just can’t do it in this climate if u want to stay out of jail and a pension some day.

First off, i dont know what the first part of your comment even means. Your comma usage is rough. Second, big difference is, if you tried to work and act like you did back in the day, you’d find yourself quickly unemployed and probably staring down the barrel of a criminal indictment. It’s not cowardice in most cases, it’s preservation. How many friends and coworkers do we have to see get jammed up and fired for doing nothing but their job? Patrolling your neighborhood off duty in your personal car? And do what? Announce your office and get into a shooting? Big guy, you’d be fired and in jail so fast. Real tough talk from a guy who didn’t have to police with 15 layers of communist oversight all looking to railroad you. Unfortunately things don’t work the way they used to, so stop with all the cops today are cowards because they won’t act like a cowboy from 40 years ago. I was on well before body cams and ISRs and COPA and all this bullshit. You can’t do that stuff anymore. But I’m sure youre right, everyone is a coward except you. Doofus. Go enjoy your retirement thunder thumbs and try not to get your blood pressure too high concerning yourself with this dump of a department. Leave this place behind, leave this life behind, it was just a job, nothing more, nothing less.

Snelling was all talk. All that talk about how he has "officers back" complete scam. He agreed with COPA on most recommendations and put officers in a no pay status. He Talk about how he supported officers, but was the first one to strip cops. Look at the 1164 team he still has them soft strip. Him and Hein only took care of their own.

The original poster is correct. I recently retired with over 30 years on the job and over a decade as a supervisor. The 30 plus years was all spent on the street. The biggest problem with the department hands down is lazy officers. My fellow Sgt's and Lt's aren't much better. CPD is mostly made up of entitled dog asses that wouldn't last in a suburban department that makes you work along with having grooming and uniform standards. Today's officers consist of cowards asking for a duck because they wrote 5 parkers and 2 blue cards.

That would be a true statement can agree with almost all of it. The odd thing is they have to raise their families there also and when you don’t protect your homeland, and you are just subjecting your families to the same criminal activity that you see other areas of the city, but yet you avoid it because you live here no common sense.

Not law enforcement, but it seems like police are "scared" because in many places, no matter what they do, they're wrong. Subdue someone who is armed and threatening family members? "Why did you use so much force?" Try to talk that same person down without success? "Why didn't you taze him?" If you want a dog that never gets up, beat it no matter what it does; if you want a cop that is less than motivated to respond, condemn him or her no matter how he or she handles the situation.

Santos is so humble he reminds everyone twice a day.

Santos has a mirror in every room so he never has to miss a staff meeting with himself.

Santos’s favorite leadership style is “me.”

Santos’s business card just says: “I already know.”

She's qualified just like Larry was. He never did any of those things either. He couldn't fill out a case report or accident report if you offered him 1,000,000 dollars but he could teach you how to use his power over a recruit and talk them out of their pants. Good riddance to one of the dumbest men ever to hold the title.

You’re a fucking goof!. This couldn’t be farther from the truth. Waller hates Mcdermott. Mcdermott is the one that leap frogged so many more qualified candidates when Texas Tornado Dave Brown double promoted him after being the 008th District commander for months to Chief of Patrol then Lightfoot tossed out Fred out on his ass from 35th St.
