CPD Political Games

Looks like the Department might be stuck with Waller for a while:

  • The process of selecting Chicago’s next top cop hit another pothole Monday when four of the seven commissioners charged with finding finalists for the job skipped a meeting where they were supposed to select a firm to conduct a nationwide talent search.

    The absence of a quorum forced Community Commission for Public Safety and Accountability President Remel Terry to adjourn the meeting after taking three brief comments from audience members. Exactly what will happen next is unclear as the clock ticks down on the commission’s 120-day deadline to identify three world-class candidates for the mayor to choose from.

The four no-shows were throwing a hissy fit because they weren't permitted to change the rules and remove the one person who might have conservative leanings and happens to support the police far more often than any other panel member....because her brother was a murdered CPD Officer.

And as noted before, keeping Waller around in spite of finally having a First Deputy in place to serve as an interim Supe just shows the utter uselessness of pretty much the entire upper echelon of the Department.

A positive first step would be to dissolve the Community Commission for Public Safety and Accountability. Just more unqualified and incompetent political patronage. Hit them with job abandonment!!

Since the main requirement for the position is being black, it kind of limits the choices. And Waller's month as a Lt before being made a commander gave him the experience and knowledge to be the Sup.

Frog was a dirty 005 tact guy back in the day. As an Internal Affairs investigator he was thoroughly incompetent and when he left the unit he left over 100 open cases, many of them fucked up beyond help (which in some ways was ok because he couldn't screw the Officers). Calling him as dumb as a box of rocks would be insulting to the rocks. Also, he is tied in with Pfleger (sp?) and keeps a photo of them together displayed prominently. He needs to retire.
